The Florists Elxchange

Joseph Meehan

THE NESTOR AMONG NURSERYMEN

rp\HOUSANDS of readers of The Florists' Ex-
I CHANGE who faithfully followed the writings of
■*■ Jos. Meehan, the editor of our Nursery Depart-
ment from 1900 to I'JIS, will join with us in our sincere
regret on learning of his death early on the morning of
Dec. 23 at his home in Germantown, Philadelphia, Pa.

Mr. Meehan was born at Ryde, Isle of Wight, Eng-
land, Nov. 9, lS-40, in the gardener's cottage at St. Clare.
St. Clare was the Isle of Wight residence of Colonel
and Lady Catherine Vernon Harcourt, for whom Jo-
seph's father, Edward Meehan, was gardener for nearly

the death
legacy o 1

half a century. It may be said here that at
i of his employers the gardener was left a
one thousand pounds, considered a most
generous sum in those days. Mr. Meehan's
father was of Irish birth, coming to Eng-
land_when a lad. His mother was English,
a native of London.

At an early age, after a few years of
common schooling, Josepli went to work
under his father in the gardens of St. Clare.
At the age of 16 he went to London and
worked for a time at Kenwood, the seat of
Lord Mansfield, near Hempstead. After a
short service he returned to the Isle of
Wight and worked temporarily in the gar-
dens of Mr. Spode and Miss Helen Glad-
stone, securing at last what promised to be
a good position in the gardens of Mr. Ward.
Northwood Park. While there he received
word from his brother Thomas that he
had started a nursery at Germantown.
Philadelphia, and that if he, Joseph, wished
to come to him he would place him in
charge of two or three small greenhouses
he had just erected. This decided it, being
just the thing he wanted, so in April 1839
he commenced his career as a nurseryman,
a career which ended only after a connec-
tion of fifty-two years, when he retired al-
together from nursery work; this was in
1911. In that time the nursery had grown
from the original three acres to about 70
acres, all within the city of Philadelphia.

In 1862, three years after landing in this
country, Mr. Meehan enlisted on Aug. 13
in a three year regiment, the 118th Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers. To show the patriotism
of the young fellows of that day, it may
be said that the command of a thousand
men was recruited in one month, starting
the end of July and ending with the close
of August. The next day the regiment
started for Washington. Such was the de-
mand for reinforcements that in one week
later it was merged with the veterans ot
the Fifth Corps and started with it on a
long march ending with Antietam. and
participated in that battle when but seven-
teen days out of Philadelphia. On the 30th
of September it suiifered great loss at Shep-
herdstown, W. Va., in following up Lee in
his retreat from Antietam. Joseph Meehan
was one of some one hundred wounded, a
ball entering his left shoulder, behind the
shoulder blade; it was never extracted and
caused his discharge in the Winter of 1862-
1863. In June 1863 when Lee again tried
the invasion of the North, Joseph Meehan
again volunteered, this time in Landis's
Battery of Light Artillery, an "emergency"
organization. This command was in two engagements,
one near Shiremantown with Elwell's forces which had
been sent to capture Harrisburg, and another at Car-
lisle, Pa., when it refused to surrender the town to
Stuart's cavalry. In this action the battery had three
wounded and one, Joseph Meehan. taken prisoner.
Marched to Gettysburg, he was there paroled on the
field and on the 4th of July 1863 was returned to the
Union forces, together with several hundred other pris-
oners. He was then sent to Camp Parole, West Ches-
ter, Pa., where he remained until the battery returned
to Philadelphia.

As a comrade of Ellis Post, G. A. R., Joseph Meehan
was well known as one of the color sergeants of the
Post and in that capacity carried the flag at the funerals
of over one hundred colleagues who had answered to
the "Long Roll" before him.

Returning home at the end of his term of enlistment,
he re-entered the service of his brother and from that
day on knew no other place. For many years he and
his brother Thomas were the sole occupants of the
office, and for very many years, until relieved by his
nephews, he was the chief salesman of the place. In
this way he was a familiar personage to a large num-
ber of gardeners and customers and, as usual in such

cases, many a one would be disappointed if not waited
on by him.

In 1808 Mr. Meehan was married to Emily G. Gaul
of Philadelphia. Five children were born of this union,
two of whom died young. The surviving children con-
sist of two sons, Charles E. and A. Rothwell Meehan,
and a daughter, Mrs. Geo. W. Williams. Mr. Meehan's
wife died in 1905.

While fairly well known as a nurseryman, it is as a
writer on horticultural subjects that Mr. Meehan's fame
chiefly rests. Some quarter of a century ago he saw
what a financial help it would be to him in furthering
his ambition to secure a competence for himself and
family in his older days, and he turned his attention
to this hue. In this he was quite successful, having at
times to cut off from his list some of the papers desir-
ing articles. The first paper to receive his paid con-
tributions was the Germantown bidel>cndent, but all of
the folluwiiiR had received more or less of them; For-

I The late Joseph Meehan

Born November 9, 1840. Died December 23, 1920

For eighteen years Mr. Meehan farnighed practically allsthe material which appeared
in our Nursery Department

ney's Weekly Press, Tribune and Farmer, Practical
Farmer, Pittsburgh Sunday Dispatch. Park and Cenie-
tey, Prairie Farmer, Gardening. Country Gentleman.
The Florists' Exchange and others. Those continu-
ing for the longer period were the Germantown Inde-
pendent. Practical Farmer, Park and Cemetery,^ Gar-
dening. Country Gentleman and The Florists' Ex-
change.

Mr. Meehan's first nursery article appeared in The
Florists' Exchange on Oct. 30, 1900, and his weekly
contributions continued without a hitch until March
1918, when failing sight called for a cessation of such
work. He conducted his department in a most able
manner, drawing from his great store of knowledge
along nursery lines ; the accumulated material would
make the mo,st reliable book on trees and shrubs of
America ever published. Practically all the photos
shown on its nursery page, week after week, were
taken under the direction of Mr. Meehan, who was wont
to take long walks in search of subjects (the pleasures
of which he had often mentioned) through the many
picturesque suburbs of Philadelphia, with all of whose
garden beauty spots he was well acquainted. As he
found subjects he would note them and then he and
the photographer would again make the rounds. The

results of this photugraphic work have netted some one
thousand photos, for many so taken were used from
time to time in other sections of the paper.

A graceful tribute to Mr. Meehan's worth was ex-
pressed in May 1919 when the Germantown Horticul-
tural Society planted an Oak as a memorial to him in
Market Square. The tree, a rock Chestnut Oak, was
grown by Mr. Meehan from an acorn which he brought
from the Gettysburg battlefield. The president of the
Horticultural Society paid tribute to Mr. Meehan's early
activities in the society and spoke of his interest in
beautifying Market Square. The secretary of the so-
ciety told of Mr. Meehan's great knowledge of hardy
plants and charged the many boys and girls assembled
to always respect and protect the memorial tree. Samuel
Newman Baxter, city arboriculturist and a present
writer on our nursery staf?, conducted the planting of
the tree, while a grandson of Mr. Meehan, Joseph
Rothwell Meehan, deposited the first spadeful of earth
about the tree. As Mr. Meehan's health at
the time did not permit his presence at the
ceremonies, his son, A. Rothwell Meehan,
spoke on his behalf, telling his father's ap-
preciation of the honor conferred upon him.
Mr. Meehan was a member of Mt. Airy
Lodge, I. O. 0. F., for 51 years. He v»as
also an honorary member of the German-
town Horticultural Society, and had been
its treasurer at one time for several years.

Mr. Meehan was the last survivor of
four brothers who came to this country. A
younger brother, Charles, never left Eng-
land, and still lives there as a retired pri-
vate gardener.

The funeral services were held on Sun-
day, Dec. 26', the minister and comrades of
Ellis Post G. A. R. officiating. His re-
mains were surrounded by many floral
tokens of esteem and regard, and one could
not help but feel that these flowers must
be numbered among the intimate friends of
Joseph Meehan. Interment was at Ivy Hill
Cemetery.

In Memoriam

Joseph Meehan is dead I May I convey to
your host of readers to whom the nursery
page carried such a wealth of profitable
reading over a long period of years, and
who now mourn his loss, a tribute based
upon a personal acquaintance, that they
may know of Mr. Meehan as I knew him.

Twenty years ago, when I entered the
employ of Thomas Meehan & Sons, I first
met Joseph Meehan in a business way. (I
had known his family before this.) I can
picture him now standing at his old-fash-
ioned, high-top desk, sought by one, then
another, of the entire office staff, for infor-
mation in reference to plants. His fund of
knowledge, always accessible, and most
freely imparted, was sought in preference
to consulting the office library. By all he
was affectionately addressed as "Uncle" Joe.
Nor was the knowledge, so freely im-
parted, confined to the office. Helping the
boys — and girls, too — was to him a pleas-
ure, and he took great delight in organiz-
ing parties of young folks to stroll along
the Wissahickon, that beautiful wooded
gorge of Fairmount Park, where under his
tutelage all might imbibe a knowledge of
trees, shrubs and wild flowers, to an ex-
tent limited only by the aptitude of his
student "hikers."

Each year, when the post of the Grand

^^^^^' Army of the Republic, of which he was
a member, would take an excursion down
the Delaware River, he would invite his young folks,
frolicing with them in the water at Woodland Beach;
then exploring for the flora of the country. At his home
he would give parties, arranging the program of games
and recitations with the same care and precision as he
wrote of plants for The Florists' Exchange.

Is it any wonder that the eyes of one who knew him
thus grew moist when the news came that he had passed
away !

Joseph Meehan was not a botanist in a scientific way
but he knew more about hardy plants than the average
botanist whose forte is poring over herbarium speci-
mens and working out hair-splitting differences. He
knew plants in a practical way : their identification, char-
acteristics, habits of growth, propagation— in short, the
essentials which made popular reading for nurserymen
in The Florists' Exchange and other publications for
which he wrote, and which served as propaganda, as it
were, for the greater use and enjoyment of hardy trees
and shrubs.

Among other duties, he conducted the tree seed de^

partment for his brother, Thomas Meehan, and was

recognized as an authority in this line. Here, too. he

was practical, for much of this seed was collected and

The National Flower Show of 1922

Some Suggestions respectfully submitted to the S. A. F.
Committee and all others Interested

To the Editor of The Florists' Exchange :

Referring to the report of the meeting of the Na-
tional Flower Show Committee of the S. A. F., and
the editorial comment on that coming event, both of
which were features of your issue of Dec. 18, it is most
gratifying to know that already plans are under way,
or at least under consideration, aiming to make the 1933
exhibition a truly representative affair.

There is "plenty of time" yd, of course, but we can-
not afford to take advantage of that fact, for in pre-
paring for such a show you can never be too fore-
handed ; the eleventh hour details are ahyays vastly
more numerous and exacting than was anticipated. But
one way to somewhat improve this situation, even if it
cannot be wholly corrected, is to do all the suggesting,
arguing, criticising and discussing first, well in advance,
so that when plans are finally made they shall be the
fruits of everyone's thoughts, the results of universal
agreement, and so that also, once made, those plans
shall be scrupulously adhered to.

I assume that, although the burden of the actual work
will be carried by the S. A. F. committee and its col-
laborators, nevertheless the responsibility for the success
of the show is and should be borne by every florist and
every other individual in the country who is really and
actively interested in the nation's floricultural industry —
or its horticulture as a whole, for that matter. Further-
more, I believe that one way to carry one's share of
that responsibilitj' — in addition to supporting the show
when it comes into being — is to submit such suggestions
as may occur, relative to the ways in which the 1933
exhibition may be made a glorious success. If every-
one who agrees with me will come forward with his
or her ideas right now, sending them either to the S. A.
F. committee or to The Exchange, the resulting ideas
and discussion, while purely informal, may give rise to
real help for the committee — help which may or may
not be acceptable to or adopted by that body. And that
is the spirit in which I submit the following suggestions
as to how the 1923 National Flower Show may be made
"the best and most helpful of all."

" Play to the Public "

In the first place, I believe that this show, above all
things, should be planned and carried out to appeal to
the public — the layman. It is all too easy to emphasize
contests, displays and other features that are mainly
if not exclusively interesting to the trade.

For instance, there could well be a larger proportion
of purely educational exhibits ; that is, displays intended
to illustrate and explain some of the problems and
methods of plant production. This does not mean,
necessarily, the disclosure of "trade secrets," although
even a little of that sort of thing may have a distinct
psychological effect in winning the confidence of the
public. What I have more particularly in mind is an
exhibit that would illustrate, by easy stages, the growing
of a Rose bush, including seeds and seedlings of stock,
buds or scions of an improved variety, budded and
grafted specimens, complete and in process of making,
and then the resulting plants of different ages, culminat-
ing in a fully flowered mature plant. Similarly, the
making and rooting of cuttings could be shown; also
the potting and forcing of bulbs, the process of hybridi-
zation and any number of operations — not in demon-
stration form, but as "still life" exhibits, material of
different ages being chosen to show the different steps.

Exhibits That TeU a Story

Coming into the retailer's field, I believe that displays
of wreaths, baskets, bridal bouquets, and other artistic
creations, in different stages of construction, with the
"raw materials" scattered about, would both interest
the visitors and give them a new appreciation of the
work of the florist. "Simple stuff," you say, and per-
haps it is to you, yet it is just what catches and holds
the crowds. Remember the hosts that jostle one another
in front of a store window in which is illustrated a
fountain pen "in the making," or the page of a printed
book, or the mechanism of an incubator, or even a
plebeian shoe 1 And recall how popular were Max
Schling's demonstrations of window and plant dressing
at last year's New York Flower Show. The public
wants to see the "innards" of things, it wants to see the
"wheels go 'round," or at least to know why and how
they revolve, and the more we tell them about the de-
tails of plant and cut flower growing and selling, the
more they will want to grow and to buy those same
plants and flowers — our stock in trade.

I would like to see a series of exhibits of striking
and unusual ways in which flowers can be used — ways
in which one can "Say it with Flowers" for every sort
of occasion and at every degree of expense. I would
like to see a miniature working model of how F. T. D.
orders are received, relayed across a thousand miles
of country, and then filled in "the twinkling of an eye,"

I would like to see a graphic representation of the
working out of Mendel's Law as it involves flowers, to
show what the plant breeder is "up against" in produc-
ing a new type or in fixing a desired character.

Also I would like to see a graphic display of the
problems of the florist-grower involving a miniature
greenhouse, a pile of coal representing the year's re-
quirements, and proportionate items showing all the
inevitable expenses and the possible returns and profits.
All these things mean work, of course, but I am con-
vinced that they would be well worth all the trouble in
arousing permanent interest and a new appreciation of
what the flower business means.

Put It Up to the States

Taking up now your editorial suggestion regarding
State displays, I want to heartily commend the basic
idea, but also "go it one better." Why not, to be ex-
plicit, organize the whole show on a really national
basis — that is by States? For example, allot space to
each State in proportion to its floricultural or horticul-
tural importance, then put the arranging and decorating
of that space in the hands of the S. A. F. State vice-
president and a special show committee that he shall
appoint. Such a plan would, it seems to me, insure va-
riety in the displays ; it would stimulate local pride and
friendly competition among the different States ; it
would enable each State to emphasize its contributions
to horticulture, and the types of plants or flowers in
which it is richest; it would provide a series of meeting
places for visitors from all parts of the country — that
is each State booth would serve as headquarters for its
own citizens where they could be reached by messages
or appointment by friends from other places; and it
would insure the show being complete and truly na-
tional in character.

In addition to displays to be prepared by the trade
and by amateur horticulturists, I would suggest includ-
ing in the State e.xhibits examples of the work of the
State institutions along floricultural lines. This would
not only give the public interesting information, but it
would also give deserved publicity to the efforts of
institutions which are doing a splendid work, one that
means so much to all of us, but oftentimes under the
discouraging disadvantages of insufficient funds and lack
of legislative appreciation.

Let the Department of Agriculture Help

Similarly, I would look into the possibility of having
the Federal Department of Agriculture make an exhibit
of its investigations, achievements and discoveries along
floricultural lines. The work of Dr, Van Fleet with
Roses, that of David Griffiths with Easter Lilies, are
but two of many subjects that would provide valuable
and interesting material, not to mention the almost un-
limited field of an exhibition prepared by the Plant In-
troduction Division of the Bureau of Plant Industry.
Incidentally, the F. H. B. might welcome an opportunity
to show people what it is trying to do and how — and it
is not too much to hope that such an exhibit might
go a long way toward clearing the air and giving both
sides of the Qu, 37 controversy a better idea of the
other side's attitude and convictions and a more com-
plete knowledge of the actual conditions.

I can imagine someone saying, "But all such exhibits
will take just that much interest away from what has
always been the chief attraction." But will they? That
is, will they to any harmful extent? I doubt it. In the
first place, those who go to the show primarily to see
the competitive and trade exhibits will look them up
anyway, wherever they are, and, will not permit any
other features to distract them ; the mass of people who
have no special interest in the trade displays as such
will be interested mainly in "just plants and flowers,"
and such arrangements as I have in mind will present
these in the most interesting, most educational, most
stimulating and most varied way possible.

Secondly, it isn't merely the trade, in a narrow sense,
that this show is designed to advertise and promote,
but rather the whole floricultural industry in the widest
sense — an industry of which the growers, the retailers,
the investigators, the plant breeders, the teachers, the
amateur gardeners.:— all go to make up their individual
subdivisions. Consequently it is no more representative
to restrict a National Flower Show to tradesmen, than
it would be to have a National Cattle Show and have
the exhibits restricted to entries made by the city milk
dealers.

Use Plenty of Literature

Lastly, no matter what the nature of the show or
what it includes, I urge a generous use of educational
printed matter in every possible connection. Have every
sort of an exhibit fully labeled, not only with botanical
or variety names, but with bits of accurate, practical
human interest information about the plant or the group.
If the State booths idea materializes, each State could
well afford to prepare a little leaflet outlining its flori-
cultural characters, history, progress and accomplish-
ments. And in the case of the catalog or schedule for
classes, it would be possible and helpful to use at the top
of each class or group of classes dealing with one kind

of flower, an instructive paragraph about the origin,
uses and care of that plant.

Don't, Mr. Editor, I beg, get the idea from this letter,
that I want to "run the show," or that I lack confidence
in those who have it in charge. My suggestions are
simply the expression of a real, life interest in the 193S
National, as a big opportunity to boost American horti-
culture. There must be a lot of us who are thus inter-
ested and if two heads are better than one, why twenty
or two hundred ought to be still better — and among the
crop of ideas that a general discussion should bring to
light there may be some worthy of intensive cultivation.

So here's to the success of the Flower Show of 1933,
and, meanwhile, to the florist industry in the intervening
year of 1931,

"One Who Likes to

'Say it with Flowers.' "

Fruit Quarantine Hearing

Arguments on the establishment of a quarantine or
other restrictive measures against the importation of
fruits which might bring the black fly and other pests
into the United States were heard on Dec. 30 last be-
fore the Federal Horticultural Board,

This is a subject in which the great majority of our
readers are not particularly interested, save and except
that those who find the restrictions of Quarantine 37
working against their own best interests might naturally
conclude that the same restrictions should be put in
force against the importation of foreign fruits.

Wilson Newell, head of the State Plant Commission
of Florida, urged six restrictive measures for the pro-
tection of that State, but Chairman C. L, Marlatt finally
said that apparently all the suggestions made by Mr.
Newell could be eliminated except the one dealing with
fumigation.

Reports from Government chemists who had made
experiments to show the effect of fumigating on fruits
and vegetables indicated that little change is made in
most fruits, though some vegetables when subjected to
a strong mixture of hydrocyanic acid gas were rendered
unfit for human consumption unless cooked. Most of
these vegetables, however, are not shipped from the
infested regions to Cuba or to American ports.

The attorney for the Florida East Coast R. R. and
Car Ferry Co. had previously said that their boats bring
36 cars at a trip and expect to handle 35,000 loaded cars
next year.

In the testimony introduced we note that E. RuHyan,
president of the Elizabeth Nursery Co. of Elizabeth,
N, J„ was present, and stated that he controlled the
black fly by spraying. Most of the damage done was
by drouth and lack of fertilizers, he said. When he
was able to use the latter, the trees flourished in spitie-
of insects. Mr. Runyan urged that the United States
aid the Cubans in fighting the pest, as he asserted if the
black fly spreads all over that island, it will be only a
question of time until it reaches Florida. He claimed
that most of the infested trees were grown in Tobacco
fields for the shade afforded and received no care wBnat-
ever. (It must be some twenty years ago that Mr.
Runyan started his plantation in Cuba.)

Chairman Marlatt in closing the hearing said that a
decision would be reached within a few days. He im-
plied that a rule will be made forbidding the importa-
tion of leaves from any infested country, and he gave
the impression that he did not believe fumigation of all
freight cars is practical or necessary at this time.

A large attendance of gentlemen interested in the hear-
ing was present, also many scientists. The protectiort
of Florida appeared to be the chief concern of this
meeting.

Extension of Corn Borer Quarantine

From the office of the Secretary of the Federal Horti-
cultural Board it is announced that the towns of New
Bedford and Fairhaven in Bristol County, Sherborn in
Middlesex County, and West Bridgewater in Plymouth
County, Mass. ; Portsmouth, Atkinson, and Rye in Rock-
ingham County, N, H, ; Knox in Albany County, Ark-
wright, Portland, Villenova, and Westfield in Chautau-
qua County; Tonawanda, Buffalo, and Elmira in Erie
County, N, Y., and Grand Island, Niagara, and Wheat-
field in Niagara County, are now added to and included
in the area infested by the European Corn borer. Until
further notice, the regulations supplemental to notice
of quarantine No. 43 shall apply to all the above centers.

Was Poor, Not Ashamed to Own Up to It. — The leading
speaker at a banquet of a well-known horticultural society
on rising called the gardeners present "brethren," and gave
them an intimate talk on horticultural conditions. Asked
later by a real florist how he came to call the gardeners present
"brethren," he replied, "Don't you know that when I was a
boy I used to carry flats for my brother who was manager
for blank fmentioning a well known private estate up the
Hudson). The brother mentioned later became one of New
York's most celebrated retail florists while the gentleman who
"carried the flats" occupies an important position in New
York City.

Notes from Abroad

With the advent o£ faiiiy heavy falls
o£ suow, outdoor operatious are menaced
with a full stop. The planting of bulbs
comes to an untimely end and the seeds-
man gazes with an apprehensive eye on
the stock left over of certain lands which
he purchased it may be early in the sea-
son, at a high price. The selling season
'went very well until the coal strike
stretched forth its paralyzing hand, but
it never faii-ly recovered from the check
then experienced.

The demand for Sweet Peas shows lit-
tle sign o£ diminution. Supplies have
turned out somewhat better than ex-
pected of certain sorts, but most of the
favorite waved varieties are scarce and
some are already sold out. All qualities
of mixtures, however, are on hand in
sufl&cient quantity.

The Chamber of Horticulture has been
defining its own sphere of action and
has come to a working arrangement with
the Horticultural Trades Association,
whereby the former will take the lead in
the broader aspects of the industry, such
as its relations with Parliament, while
the latter with its affiliated societies, will
concern itself with the more local and
internal matters.

Orders are now coming in for the new
season's novelties, and as usual at this
period, the question crops up as to the
right of the raiser to some protection
similar to that accorded to inventors.
That he is entitled thereto is a proposi-
tion scarcely contestable. An inventor
may casually hit on some brilliant idea
and, if it takes the public fancy, may
thereafter draw a comfortable permanent
income in the form of a royalty. The
raiser of a new plant has in any case to
spend years in the process, and his re-
ward is meagre, amounting only to first
season's profits, the gift he has made to
his generation being thenceforth prac-
tically common property. The writer has
not yet seen a workable suggestion how
to remedy this state of things, and he
does not at present feel equal to making
one.

The British Carnation Society gazes
complacently back on a successful year's
work, and on a comfortably filled ex-
chequer. Its recent show at the Boyal
Horticultural Hall was a very fine one,
awards being freely made, and, as^ usual,
American varieties figured prominently
among the exhibits.

and order early, even before the seed
catalogs are out, those seeds which they
know they will need for early planting
under glass, but also to try some kinds
or varieties of seeds which they would not
have thought of if they had not read these
suggestive seasonable advertisements. 'The
summing up of the whole matter is this :
These advertisements increase greatly
the seedsmen's sales, help the flower
grower by their suggestiveness, and in a
business way, help The Flobists' Ex-
change by appearing in its columns, and
from that viewpoint are appreciated.
Lastly, these advertisements prove clearly
that the seed business in this country is
steadily growing.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
St., reports an almost complete cleanup
of all Christmas stock. The store force
is now preparing for the early Spring
campaign of seed selling. This store is al-
ready mailing out "Vaughan's Special
Spring Offer"' of flower and vegetable
seeds and bulbs. This contains eight
large pages on which appear descrip-
tions, not only of the standard kinds of
seeds, but also of several novelties. Not-
able among the novelties is "Ball's White
Aster," originating with Geo. J. Ball of
Glen Ellyn, 111., which has been warmly
endorsed by the Chicago Flower Growers'
Association. This list is well illustrated.
The Stumpp & Walter Co., 30-32 Bar-
clay St., disposed entirely at Christmas
time, of its stock of well grown Christ-
mas Pepper plants and Cherries. The
store force is now clearing the decks so
as to make early preparation for the
Spring business. As the beginning of its
1921 seed selling campaign, the company
is offering this week a most comprehen-
sive list of choice florists' flower seeds,
such as are suitable for planting under
glass from this time on through the Mid-
winter and early Spring months. Such
lists are very helpful to the florist because
they suggest to him that it is time for
him to get about buying and planting
certain kinds of seeds. Furthermore, it
is a great thing for the seedsman to take
the initiative and to be the leader in the
seed business and not the follower.

New York Seed Trade

Christmas in the New York seed stores
was notable for an active demand for all
kinds of distinctively Christmas plants,
greens and berried boughs ; of wreaths,
the supply was below the demand, and
good Holly became so scarce that the
price at wholesale advanced to $12 to
$16 per case. Most of the catalogs are
now in the printers' hands. Seeds from
the growers and also domestic bulbs are
being delivered far more promptly than
last season, and the store forces are be-
ginning to put up seeds in bags and
packets.

All of the seed stores in this city closed
at noon or early in the afternoon on
Friday so as to allow their employees an
opportunity to shop in the city or take the
afternoon trains either to their own homes
or to those of friends where they were
to pass Christmas. This human Interest
in employees is a pleasant feature of mod-
ern business customs. Wide awake flor-
ists cannot help being interested in and
should not fail to read with more than
usual care, lists of many kinds of choice
flower seeds which our progressive seeds-
men are offering in the columns of The
Floeists' Exohanqe. These advertise
ments enable florists not only to select

Nomenclature Committee at Work

Readers interested in seed matters
should give careful attention to the lat-
est report of the Joint Committee as to
the standardization of vegetable varieties,
which appears in one of the wide meas-
ure pages, this issue. It contains val-
uable information and marks one of a
series of very important steps toward bet-
ter conditions.

A New White Aster

Novelties in Asters are fairly common,
for this flower is particularly amenable to
improvement by selection. Not all Aster
novelties are improvements, but Ball's
White Aster, now bein^ introduced by
Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago and New
York, in conjunction with the raiser
Geo. J. Ball of Glen Ellyn, 111., promises
to be a real commercial flower. Mr. Ball,
who is well known as a high ^ade Sweet
Pea grower, found among his Asters in
1908, a plant that appealed to his fancy.
For 12 years he has grown it on and re-
peatedly selected. In the Chicago mar-
ket Ball's White Aster has made a repu-
tation for being the best pure white of its
class. It is ball like in form, a splendid
shipper and keeper. Its season is mid-
I way between the Royal and Ijate
Branching types. Owing to its double
character, it is a shy seeder and the seed
is smaller than the average.

Among the exempt from duty articles
imported into the Canal Zone, we note
se^s, orchids and every kind of live
plant of any utility. These need not be
covered by either free entry or castoms
declarations.

Potato Mosaic

This mysterious disease is exhaustive-
ly dealt with in Bulletiu 292, just issued
by the Maine Agricultural Kxperimeut
Station, Orono. The disease tirst became
evident in Maine in 1U12 and while it is
apparently similar to that attacking To-
bacco, there are important differences be-
tween the two maladies. The disease is
highly infectious and it has been conclu-
yively proved that it is largely distributed
by aphis and the vai'ious beetles that
prey upon Potatoes.

While difficult to control, it is possible
that by close watching and careful selec-
tion, the disease may be held in check, if
not entirely circumvented. The effect of
the disease is to almost wholly prevent
growth, the plants being dwarfed and
stunted while the crop is negligible. Fur-
thermore, the disease permanently affects
the progeny of diseased plants and, for
this reason, tubers from diseased plants
should never be used for seed purposes.
No treatment of seed Potatoes by chemi-
cal or other means serves to prevent its
re-occurrence.

Several illustrations are embodied in
the bulletin and from them we deduce
that Mosaic is in reality the cause of
many Potato failures, both at home and
iu Europe, which have hitherto been
credited to sundry other causes.

Consolidating tlie Express Com-
panies

Consolidation of the principal express
companies of the country has been ap-
proved by the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission. Under the decision of the Com-
mission, the Adams, American, Southern
and Wells-Fargo companies will be per-
mitted to operate, as at present, as a unit
in the conduct of the express business.
The commission was prompted to ap-
prove the application of the express com-
panies for consolidation, it was said, be-
cause there exists no actual competition
between the companies and because by
the consolidation the public interest
would be served.

In answering objection by interests op-
posed to the merger, that claims of ship-
pers against individual companies for
loss and damage would be jeopardized,
the Commission in its decision pointed
out that it had no jurisdiction over this
class of claims.

Collecting Claims Against the Post
0£ace

Business men in the larger cities hav-
ing claims against the Post Office De-
partment for the loss or damage of in-
sured parcel post need no longer submit
such claims to Washington, but may file
them with their local postmasters, under
orders which have just been issued by
the Postmaster-General.

The Post Office Department has issued
instructions that hereafter, postmasters
at offices of the first and second class,
which include all of the larger cities, may
acept, pass upon and pay indemnity
claims arising from the loss, rifling and
injury of insured parcels.

For several years, complaint has been
general that settlement of claims by the
Post Office Department was a slow and
uncertain process, taking anywhere up
to six months or more. The practice
heretofore has been for the department,
upon receiving a claim, to write to the
postmasters at both the office of mailing
and of destination, asking for facts re-
garding the parcel in question, and fre-
quently inspectors were detailed to make
a more complete investigation. All this
took considerable time, and as the claims
are received by the hundred they piled
up and settlement was considerably de-
layed.

The new procedure is expected to
shorten considerably the time taken to
adjust such claims and is intended to do
away with the complaints that have been
coming into Washington in large numbers.

Plant, Bulb and Seed Imports

A total of 3,514,636 Kose plants, 1,-
653,790 bulbs and 1,4T4 pounds of tree
and fruit seeds were imported into the
United States during the year under
Kegulation 3 of Quarantine 37, accord-
ing to the annual report which has just
been made public by the Federal Horti-
cultural Board. These comprise the im-
ports of the first year under the quaran-
tine, which became effective June 1,
19iy, and it is pointed out that the total
importations compare favorably with the
total importations recorded in the an-
nual report for the previous fiscal year,
which "would seem to dispose of the
contention frequently made that the un-
availability of foreign fruit stocks dar-
ing the last fiscal year was due in any
part to the refusal of the foreign grow-
ers to sell to American importers in re-
taliation for Quarantine 37."

Provision is also made in the quaran-
tine regulations for the entry under spe-
cial permit of limited quantities of other-
wise prohibited nursery stock and other
plants for the purpose of keeping the
country supplied with new varieties and
necessary propagating stock. Three hun-
dred and eleven such permits were is-
sued during the thirteen months ended
with last June, and the importations au-
thorized have already been made in the
ease of 174 of the permits, the others
having been canceled for a number of
reasons, as a general rule because of the
inabiKty of the grower to secure the de-
sired stock or because of transportation
difficulties. B. A. D.

Gladiolus Culture in America vs.
Holland

Transplanting one's stock from one
part of the world to an entirely different
region, abandoning various methods of
culture peculiar to climate, soil and la-
bor conditions of the Old Country, and
adapting one's self to environments alto-
gether new, strange and alien, is a won-
derful experience, unique and interesting.

This is what P. Vos & Son of Mt. dem-
ons, Mich., have gone through by com-
ing from the Netherlands with a collec-
tion of Gladioli and settling in the United
States.

Since Gladioli are grown in almost
every civilized country, one might be in-
duced to think that this beautiful flower
flourishes and can be grown in any cli-
mate and soil with equal or nearly equal
results. Upon superficial observation, one
might judge it unwise for a grower of
Gladioli to go through such expense and
trouble as to come 3000 miles or more
for the sole purpose of changing soil and
climate. Considering the fact that the
Holland growers raise millions and mil-
lions of Gladioli, one might well think it
unwise to break away.

Messrs Vos do not claim to be authori-
ties on the question at stake but tbey
have learned much by actual experience
in fifteen years of Gladiolus growing.

As the name implies, the Netherlands
are low; the French call Holland "Pays
Bas," i. e., "Low Lands." Especially
where the Holland bulbs are grown is
the surface of the fields below, far be-
low sea level. Add to this the fact that
the narrow strip of land adaptable for
bulb culture lies about three miles from
the seashore and one will readily, under-
stand that the water level must be high
and the ground moist. The climate is
not at all cheery either. There are many
years when there is practically no Sum-
mer in Holland. The air is moist and
foggy, and anyone who has lived in Hol-
land for a time, knows the great number
of rainy days each year. All growers of
Gladioli have learned how detrimental to
speedy, healthy growth, is a continual
overdose of moisture. By it, the bulbs,
great or small, are checked in their
growth and tend to disease, more so than
under less moist weather conditions. A
Summer exceptionally cold and rainy,
means more bulbs diseased with "zwart
rot" or '*black rot*' than usual.

These difBculties prompted Vos & Sor
to say farewell to their native village
and sail tor the United states. The two
years during which they have raised
Glads. In Michigan, have made them more
than thanklul ; tne advantages in all di-
rections over their former state of ex-
istence and work are specially noticeable.
One great disadvantage in Holland is the
scarcity of land, causing high rent. It
is not at ail uncommon for a grower to
pay one florm (4oc.) rent for l-±4 sq. ft.
of soil. When Vos & Son arrived here
and saw rows of Gladioli planted 3ft.
apart they raised theii- hands in amaze-
ment. Such wasting of land! In Hol-
land it is just the reverse. An open strip
of land equal to a row is allowed between
beds 3ft. wide. All cultivating must,
therefore, be done by hand, crawling on
hand and knees through a narrow path
a foot wide. The American method has
three advantages over the Holland way,
declared Mr. Vos's son. First, it pro-
vides for easier and quicker cultivating,
since it can be done by horse ; secondly,
it is cheaper as far as labor expenses are
concerned ; and thirdly, it gives the plants
more soil and air around them from
which to draw those substances they
greatly need for speedy and vigorous
growth.

All those who have had some experi-
ence with the growing of Gladioli, know
that one cannot stay growing them on
the same piece of land year after year.
Growers that do so will find that their
stock becomes fearfully mixed, because
many of the bulblets, left in the ground,
coTue up yearly and are dug up with the
true stock. America, with its ample re-
sources of land, solves this problem. One
can abandon those lands where one has
grown Gladioli for two years and start
anew on virgin soil without great lessor
expense, retaining thus a No. Al standing
with one's customers because of keeping
salable stock absolutely true to name.
Then, too, adds Mr, Vos, how great an
advantage is to us as Gladiolus growers,
the fine climate and low water level such
as we find in Michigan. In Spring, there
is enough rain to keep the ground suit-
able for planting, giving the dry bulbs
enough moisture to commence rooting ;
the beautiful Summers provide ample
time for weeding and cultivating, while
in Fall, one does not have to dig the
bulbs out of a muddy soil, like we had
to do so often in Holland. Two Winters
now have we stored a generous yield of
plump healthy bulbs which found ready
sale.

Apart from cultural considerations,
Messrs. Vos were attracted to America
by its large territory for sales, both in
the States and Canada. Although ^ a
young concern in the United States, with
an open eye on advertising, they are
certain to find a ready market for the
many hundred thousands of Gladioli they
are growing.

After summing up all the experience
of the last two years in the growing of
Gladioli in America, and comparing it
with the past, these growers are con-
vinced that they can grow Gladioli bet-
ter and more economically in America
than in Holland and with more ease.

Some Figures

In his annual report, tbe Secretary of
Agriculture states that the farmers of
America have again justified the faith of
the nation in their ability to meet the
needs of the people. Despite enormous
difficulties in the way of a shortage of la-
bor and a late season, they harvested
crops only once equalled in the history
of agriculture. The Corn crop amounted
to 3,199.000.000 bushels, more than four-
fifths of the world's production ; the
Sweet Potato crop totalled 106,000,000
bushels, the largest ever produced ; the
Kice crop of 52,000.000 was one-fourth
larger than ever before ; the Tobacco
crop of 1,476,000,000 exceeded consider-
ably all previous yields and the sugar
crop is more than one-third larger than
ever before. The grain sorghum crop of
149,000,000 bushels is 18 per cent,
greater than the previous record ; the Po-
tato crop exceeds 421,000,000 bushels,
onlv once exceeded by a narrow margin ;
the Oat crop touched 1.444.000,000 bush-
els; the hay crop 88.000.000 tons; and
the Apple crop 236,000.000 bushels. These
and all otber crops either exceed or equal
tbe highest figures made in past years,
with one or two exceptions. Live stocfe,
too, although not so numerous as in 1919,
exceeds that of pre-war , days by mil-
lions.

A WORKING HANDBOOK OF EVERYDAY PRACTICE

FOR ALL WHO GROW FLOWERING AND ORNAMENTAL

PLANTS IN THE GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE

By GEORGE W. OLIVER, Propagator to the Bureau of Plant Industry,

V. S. Department of Agriculture

And ALFRED CARL HOTTES, Assistant Professor of Horticulture,

Ohio State University

CLOTH, 12 MO.
444 PAGES

Price $3.50 By mail $3.65

CONTENTS

PLANT CULTURE was written by George W. Oliver, Propagator to the
Bureau of Plant Industry, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, who knows how
to grow all the things covered in the book, and Alfred Carl Hottes,
Assistant Professor of Horticulture, Ohio State University, who, through ex-
perience, knows what the people want to know about plants.

The majority interested in plants cannot afford to buy a large encyclopedia
treating on horticulture. In PLANT CULTURE we have a condensed edition
of an encyclopedia which answers the questions and serves as a storehouse of
facts which cannot be carried in one's head; through the pages of PLANT
CULTURE, however, any information
desired can always be at the "finger
tips."

When purchasing your copy we ad-
vise you to look it over carefully several
times in order to become familiar with
its contents and so note and know just
where to look for the groupings of sub-
jects and material.

PLANT CULTURE has many no-
table features. The text is remarkably
clear, set up from a brand new type,
and the illustrations are not only ex-
cellent but all chosen with a view to
being educational.

The list of scientific names and what
they mean is enlightening.

In PLANT CULTURE will be found
the best descriptions of simple green-
house operations about which most
persons may feel they know a great
deal — yet, in the introductory chap-
ters, are little hints regarding soils,
potting, and other everyday tasks,
that readers will be glad to have for
immediate reference. A remarkably
handy index is given, with every sub-
ject arranged alphabetically through-
out the various chaoters.

PLANT CULTURE is made useful
to beginners in gardening because of
its complete list of scientific and com-
mon names. It must be noted that the
book has not only been revised but it
has been completely rewritten. It in-
cludes many new plants and fulfills the
demand for more comprehensive points
on the culture of quite a number of
them.

PLANT CULTURE should be:

1. In every grower's potting shed.

2, In the greenhouse of every

man's private estate.

3, In the hands of every student
of floriculture.

^ , 1 — General Cultural Notes:
Potting Soils, Potting Plants,
Watering, Drainage, Mulching.

Chap. 2 — Propagation: Cuttings,
Division, Seeds; Graftage: Cleft
Grafting, Tongue or Whip
Grafting, Saddle, Crown,
Veneer, Inarching, Root Graft-
ing; Budding, Layering.

Chap. 3 — Scientific Names, Why
■ Used; Latin Names, What
They Mean; Species Names of
Plants.

Chap. 4 — Hybridization of Plants,
Saving Seed from Desirable
Plants.

Chap. 5 — Plant Enemies; Dis-
eases; Fungicides; Ineecta; In-
secticides; Commoner Diseases
and Insects affecting Orna-
mental Plants.

Chap. 6 — Greenhouse and
servatory Plants.

Chap. 7 — Hardy Perennials.

Chap. 8 — Annuals.

Chap. 9— Bulbous Plants.

Chap. 10 — ^Bedding, Vase
Window Box Plants.

Chap. 11— Hardy Shrubs.

Chap. 13— Vines, Hardy and Ten-
der.

Chap. 15 — Water Plants— Water-
side Plants.

Chap. 16 — Ornamental Grasses;
Growing Temperatures Re-
quired by Plants in Green-
houses; Common and Botanical

4. In every library.

5. Where garden lovers congregate and where reference work is done.

6. In the constant use of persons who are interested in furthering their

knowledge of flowers and shrubs in the garden and greenhouse.
All three previous editions have had an excellent and a deserving sale — this
new edition will sell most quickly to those who know and have appreciated its
predecessors.

If Wishes
Came True
What We
Would Wish
On You

Way off in the Land of Some-Time-To-Be, there
is a little rose-clambered cottage. When you
step on the porch, Joy greets you. When you go
inside. Contentment welcomes you. When you
sit down. Happiness sits beside you.

If we had our wish for the glad New Year, it
would be that you and yours might spend at
least an hour every day in this wonderful rose-
clambered cottage in the Land of the Some-
Time-To-Be.

Florists Selling Fertilizer

With Christmas and New Year out of
the way once more, we start out to get
ready for the coming Spring, a time
during which the average retail grower
makes more money than during the rest
of the year ; that is if he makes the best
of the opportunities which offer them-
selves. To begin with, in my opinion,
every florist located in the smaller cities
and towns, doing a retail business,
should, as a side line, handle fertilizer,
such as is put up by big firms today,
and is more and more taking the place
of stable manure. There is hardly a
customer priding himself with a nice
lawn, whether on a 50ft. lot or a 20 acre
estate, who isn't willing to spend a few
dollars on fertilizer if approached in the
right way. Fertilizer comes ready put
up in 5-lb. or 10-lb. packages, up to 100-
Ib. or 200-Ib. bags, and there is no trou-
ble in working up a demand for it if you
advertise enough ; the thing is to get at
it early enough. Stock up, advertise and
keep it up ; a good many dollars* worth
can be sold between February and June,
and when you once have it known that
you handle a good brand, you will keep
on doing a greater business from year to
year. It is by far more reasonable to
expect a customer to buy his wants from
the local florist than from a feed store

or grocery as at present ; and the flo-
rist with greenhouses who considers it
beneath him to sell fertilizer, is just
missing a good chance to increase his
profits. There is no better chance to get
started than in January for taking or-
ders. People have had just enough of
Winter to be looking forward to another
Spring season, and all that goes with it.

After Christmas

From the Christmas Poinsettias, our
attention is called to the propagating
bench ; from now on it means to keep
it agoing. Keep on rooting cuttings of
bedding and other stock wanted for next
Spring ; the man who gets at it early
is the one who will have the heaviest
plants by the time we start again to fill
the flower beds and window boxes. To
make money out of bedding stock, you
want your Geraniums, Cannas, Salvias,
in fact, everything ready by the latter
part of May ; it means to get rid of it
as much as possible by Memorial Day.
After that, while you may have still a
lot of bedding out to do, stock loses in
value. Most people don't want a small
2y2in. Petunia, and be told that it soon
will grow into a large plant, they want
a large plant to begin with and it is
for you to have it on hand when they
are ready. There is always all kinds
of small bedding stock, often sold cheaper

than you can grow it yourself, but heavy
plants always bring a good price. You
may have your doubts right now as to
whether stock will bring as high a price
as last Spring ; may be not, but this
much is certain, there will be as much
and more demand for good stock when
the time comes, and those who have it
ready are bound to come out all right
on it. Don't put off any propagating or
purchasing of small stock you know you
will need ; start to get busy now and stick
to it.

Double Petunias

If you are anxious to have double Pe-
tunias true to name, the only way is to
grow them from cuttings and if short
on stock, the present is not too early
to purchase 2^in. pot plants; give them
a shift and keep on taking cuttings from
them from February on, up to the middle
of April. Due partly to the shortage of
Geraniums during the past few years,
Petunias have become more popular than
ever as bedding plants, and especially is
this true of the single sorts. The dou-
bles also are in greater demand and,
among these, the white and rose pink
are among the most desirable ones. To
grow a heavy 4in. pot plant by May, you
should have rooted cuttings not later than
the end of February ; keep the plants
shifted and pinched back, so as to ob-

tain bushy specimens. Those rooted later
will alKo make salable stock, even grow
into 4in. pot plants, but you should at
least grow one good sized batch of extra
heavy ones. They make finer stock if
grown in a Carnation house tempera-
ture, even if it takes longer,

Roses for Outdoor Flowering

Few florists grow on their require-
ments in Roses they sell during the
Spring months for outdoor flowering dur-
ing Summer. They either purchase dor-
mant stock or potted plants. Usually, if
one waits until March or April with
ordering, it means to be disappointed in
not being able to get all the sorts wanted,
while at this time of the year, the spe-
cialist has still a full assortment. Dor-
mant hybrid Teas should be cut back a
little, potted up into 5s and placed in
a deep coldframe ; they don't need to be
brought indoors at all. Let them come
along slowly in the frames and keep
the sashes on until next April. You don't
want to force them ; if they just start to
break by the early part of April so
much the better. A few of the^ many
good sorts are Cecile Brunner, White and
Pink Killarney, Testout, British Queen,
Ophelia, Columbia, Russell, Edward
Mawley, Etoile de France, Kaiserin A,
Victoria, Milady, Sunburst, Maman
Cochet, and Antoine Rivoire.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Educating the Market

At the Vegetable Growers Ass'n con-
vention held in Ontario, W. J. Cooke de-
clared that it was not good business to
try to educate your market. "Give your
markets what they want, and when "they
are educated to another line give them
that," he said. There's something wrong
about this line of argiunent, even when
applied to vegetables. Modern progress
demonstrates that the public is educated
up to anything by persistency and, pro-
viding one's goods are honest and to the
public's liking, the demand stays. If, on
the other hand, one tries to make a mar-
ket on "bunk" it won't work.

Burning Waste Vegetation

The fact that many writers advocate
the burning of vegetable matter, probably
accounts for the indiscriminate burning
of what should be converted into humus
in gardens and other places. The immense
quantities of leaves that are deliberately
burned, even Oak foliage, is nothing short
of criminal in these days of manure
scarcity.

Every garden or other center of horti-
culture ought to have its dump, where
vegetable matter other than Avood should
be stored for utilization after it has rot-
ted dowTi. It is, of course, not wise to rot
down diseased matter, because green foli-
age does not heat up sufficiently to destroy
the spores, but everything that has poten-
tial manurial properties should certainly
be utilized.

Zebras as Fests

We have a lot to be thankful for. We
may think we have too many bugs and
other pests, but in Zululand, where the
climate and soil are such that crops grow
anyhow, they have the zebra, which has
become such a menace that organized
drives and wholesale slaughtering have
become essential.

These animals, through their saliva,
have spread a disease that has wiped out
cattle, horses, pigs and even dogs, and so
forced natives and settlers to abandon
their farms. Writing to i^ojith African
Gardening, a settler says: "The country is
wonderful; Tomatoes bear for two years;
ground that has not seen rain for months
has grass 4in. or Sin. high and, after rains,
it reaches 3ft. Yet, owing to the zebra

plague, natives and settlers have been
driven back until the country has become
almost destitute of people."

Packing

The Nation's Business for December
contains an interesting article under the
caption, "Cutting the Cost of Bad Pack-
ing." It relates, of course, to general
merchandise, and the writer refers to the
time when the world considered_ that
Americans were bad packers and did not
care whether the goods arrived safely. But,
he says, "America has waked up; we could
not remain indifferent to our breakage
losses — estimated at $500,000 a day."

Last vear, the packing and crating busi-
ness of 'this Nation used up 4,500,000,000
board, feet, most of it Pine, the balance
made up of Magnolia, Poplar, Birch,
Maple, Cherry, Mahogany and Yucca. This
latter item, perhaps, will explain to a
recent inquirer what becomes of some of
the Yuccas.

One single firm is credited with spend-
ing $14,000,000 on wood for packing and
crating, to say nothing of the nails, 700
miles of iron strap, 20,000,000 sq. ft. of
paper, and so forth. The American Society
for Testing Materials has proved by tests
that 98 per cent of our shippers do not
use enough nails. Lots of other interest-
ing details are given, including informa-
tion relating to the payments railways
and shipping companies have to make for
breakages. During the ten year period
ending June, 1916, the total average an-
nual payment for freight loss on Ameri-
can railroads was $25,000,000. In 1917
this figure jumped to $35,000,000, but in
1918 it leaped up to $104,000,000. This
increase was partly due to increased val-
ues of goods, partly to more careless hand-
ling, and largely to thievery. It is men-
tioned that experience proves that the
warning "glass, or "handle with care,"
means nothing to freight handlers, hence
all depends upon the packing.

The packer and shipper of plants and
flowers may well take the lesson to heart,
for it is undeniable that many have no
conception of what happens to cases and
boxes when shipped by freight, express, or
through the mails.

Ho-nr Discoveries are Made

Discoveries connected with plant life
are more or less frequent, some of them
are scientific others purely cultural, but
all are the result of watchfulness, deduc-
tions and experiments.

It does not always follow, however, that
discoveries so made are really new, and
until one has made sure that it is not
conunon knowledge, it is not advisable to

Dublicly declare one's former ignorance,
by putting forward a proposition as new.

Many, many years ago, when I was
about 16 years young, I found by experi-
menting that I could propagate Geraniums
from leaves and so increase valuable va-
rieties more rapidly than by cuttings
alone, but when I ventured to inquire
into the subject, I found that it was com-
mon knowledge among the ancients that
great numbers of plants could be propa-
gated from leaves or leaf stalks.

I am reminded of this through reading
in a contemporary a note on the effect of
pollination on the life of flowers. The
writer discovered in 1919 that flowers,
when fertilized with pollen, withered or
dropped more quickly than those not so
treated. Instead of making inquiries or
searching past records, he proved by fur-
ther tests that such was the case, and then
rushed into print. Shades of Aristotle!
Is the Western Hemisphere really so hor-
ticulturally and botanically ignorant?

Wise Cracks

Get the most out of tomorrow by re-
solving today to buy Government Saving
Securities. Small savings oftentimes meet
big opportunities. Give thought to your
spending. Spend less than you earn.

You can't make an orchid out of a
Turnip bv tacking a florist's label to it.
— Neal O'Hara.

A fellow is a confirmed liar when noth-
ing he says can be confirmed.

By thrift and letting the missus do her
own washing we have acquired a small
farm, and the lady boss thought it would
be nice to plant an acre or so of Potatoes
by hand. She and the kid and myself got
them in all right and they grew apace.
We must have planted some bugs with
the spuds and it was our job to pick off
the bugs and drown them in a can of coal
oil. The missus, being afraid of snakes,
would not go near the spuds and the kid
was nowhere to be found, so we had the
job of bathing the bugs. Finally the crop
was ripe for narvest and the missus gave
us a dull spade and a coal bucket and
bade us go to it. The month was August,
the temperature 120. We are off Potatoes
for life. — The Ma gander.

Be an optimist. An optimist thinks of
Orange blossoms, the pessimist metaphor-
ically sucks lemon drops. Some may see
a connection between the two, for the
fellow who buys Orange blossom some-
times wishes he hadn't. To use the words
of an old time song, "My single days are
o'er and when I married Maria, I jiunped
out of the frying pan into the bloomin'
fire."

If some folks worked as hard to keep
from being poor, as they do to keep from
appearing poor, they would be rich.

Perpetuating Errors

Many a botanical error has been ac-
cepted and passed on unquestioned, until
some inquisitive individual has put an end
to its career. I am reminded of this by
seeing for the third time in different jour-
nals reference to the "Lace Flower" Tra-
chymene casrulea. We were first told by
a fanciful writer that it is a new flower,
bred from one which came originally from
Europe, and the story has been repeated
without question. As a matter of fact, the
Lace Flower is no native of Europe, nor
has it been bred from anything, being as
it is a native of Australia.

■Why Step on the Gas?

It appears to be a failing of some plant
raisers to overdo things when it comes
to describing their work or their pro-
ductions. It may go down with the many
millions of innocents, but lurid claims im-
press no one who knows plants and,
among those who handle plants for a liv-
ing, it creates something akin, to amuse-
ment or contempt.

I was admiring a booklet that recently
came into my hands until I read the state-
ment: "We have created more finer flow-
ers and vegetables the last 13 years than
any other li^nng person." Considering
there's some two billion people on the
earth, one falls to wondering how track
is kept of what other people have been
doin^. The claim seemed all the more
childish when I read that the work of
breeding was taken up 14 years ago.

This "stuff" about breeding is largely
overdone in these days, and I make bold
to say that nine-tenths of the seed novel-
ties we handle have been developed by se-
lection. I readily give credit to anyone
who produces good strains by patient se-
lection and watching, but I think the soft
pedal should be worked in regard to hy-
bridizing and breeding. Treasures don*t
so easily come that way and they en-
tail long waiting.

A Coal Echo from Overseas

We are impressed by the figures given
in Commerce Reports relating to British
coal exports in October. In 1013. 6,739,-
473 long tons, value £4,665,245 were ex-
ported ; in 1920, 1,417,498 long tons,
value £6,108,497. With exports only
about 20 per cent of 1913, the 1920 value
is away up by millions of dollars. Looks
as if not all the coal profiteers were on
this side of the water.

The Florists' Exchange

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

The list of Chrysanthemums we are offering for the season of 1921 shows many changes from those of the previous seasons and these are, we believe, a great beuefi
to us and no injury to our trade. We have discarded many varieties, keeping only such as have shown themselves really needed to maintain a balance of color and season
This selection has eliminated many for which we may have calls during the planting season, but in the list presented we have the superior of the discarded variety.

Our aim is to grow in quantity those varieties which we, ourselves, would grow for the cut flower trade, regardless of the fact that we have limited the list of offer
ings. There is no iDreak in the 'Mum crop from the start to the finish of the 'Mum season if planted from an intelligent selection of varieties from this list, commercial cu
flower production governing this selection. The descriptions given must be limited, and, as stated previously, we grow these varieties in large quantities for commercia
cut flower purposes, so cannot avoid using trade terms in descriptions. However, those best suited to the needs of the commercial growers are the sorts that will meet th(
requirements of the private greenhouse.

DECEMBER BEAUTY. (Smith, 1920.) A massive,
incurved Japanese, much the same in form as well-
grown Jeanne Nonin. Growth vigorous, yet short
jointed, attaining 3J2 feet from June 20 planting.
FuUy developed December 10 to 15, and the supply
continues until Christmas and after from the later
buds. White, with light pink shading, which is
more pronounced at the center of the blooms. They
may be 'planted the second or third week of July and
grown natural, selecting the late bud, which appears
in September, or when planted in June, stop August
10 to 25, allowing one or more breaks to continue.
This will give buds September 30 to October 10 and
flowers December 10 to 30. This variety is so double
on the late buds that any attempt to secure them
prior to late September will result in malformed
flowers.

ROSE PERFECTION. (Smith, 1920.) Very similar
to Chieftain, from which it is a seedling. Better in
color by being a trifle brighter and with us a week
earlier. "An early Chieftain" describes it. It is an
easy variety to handle and does well under ordinary
treatment.

SUNBEAM. (Smith, 1920.) A seedling from Odessa.
Of a brighter shade of yellow, maturing for Thanks-
giving and later and fully double on the late Septem-
ber buds. Avoid the buds in August or the flowers
will be malformed. We consider September 20 to 30
the best time for their selection. A fine grower,
with ample stem and perfect foliage. Height, ili
feet from June 20 planting.

NEW GENERAL PURPOSE VARIETIES— Continued

SUNRAY (Smith, 1920.) A seedling from Golden

NELLIE IRWIN. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) A true
Pompon, clear bright yellow in color with every de-
sirable attribute in stem, foUage, plant habit and
formation of the flower cluster. It comes into bloom
about November 10 to 15 and holds well on the
plant which is very desirable when a^ variety is
grown in large quantities for commercial cutting.
It follows Golden Climax and precedes Romaine
Warren. It is a Pompon variety which wQl find a
welcome with the grower for the wholesale market,
having strong, straight stems and bunching nicely.
It is the best Pompon variety we have raised or of-
fered for sale. We cut the last for Thanksgiving
Day trade and they were in perfect condition.

PAULINE WILCOX. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) Th
form of the flower classes it as a decorative variet;
and it is the ideal decorative tjrpe. The habit of th'i
plant and the flower sprays are very desirable. Th
stems are straight and strong and the flowers hoI(
well apart in the clusters. The color is bronze mtl
red and gold mixed, the tips of the petals beini
lighter, giving a very pleasing combination. Ii
bloom November 5. It is a gloriously colored variet;
and there is nothing like it. It is distract and valu
able.

HELEN ANDRE. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) A beautifuli
compact, orange-bronze Pompon which bloomi
around November 20. The growth is upright, thi
stems strong, holding the flower erect. Color is ver;
attractive and, as there are no other varieties of thi
color in bloom at the same season, it will be a profit
able one to grow. It is a Thanksgiving Day bronzi
and a good one.

HELEN HUBBARD. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) This ii
the best crimson decorative we have ever grown
The lower petals are from 2 to 234 inches in length
The color is a rich, velvety crimson which does not
fade. Growth is excellent. There are no other va^
rieties in this color which can compare with it foi
cutting in sprays. This Harvard crimson is in bloom
November 15.

LORRAINE MEECH. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) Dis-
tinctly a novelty. We introduce this variety because
so many of our customers who have seen it have
asked for plants. Color is dull crimson \rith a
golden-bronze reverse. The petals curl just enough
to show both colors, which gives a very pleasing
contrast. When fully open, a small yeUow center
shows, but this should,, nevertheless, be classed as a
Pompon. Growth is very good; foliage, dark green
right up to the bud. In bloom November 20.

ELIZABETH McDOWELL. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.)
This orange-bronze single we believe to be the finest
of all the single flowered seedlings that we have

SINGLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS— Continued

raised. Not only is the color wonderfully fine in
daylight, but the richness is greatly enhanced by
artificial light. The plant is strong-growing and
makes strong stems which carry the flowers well.
These are well divided in the clusters. It packs
nicely for a single and we class it as the equal of any
single flowered variety in commerce. It is good for
exhibition for the high-class storeman and for the
grower who retails.

CHARTER OAK. (Foster.) A clear, bright yellow
single variety which carries its flowers in large, strong-
stemmed sprays, bearing from three to five flowers
each. It makes a fair-sized plant and will class as a
good grower, but is not as heavy in foliage as its
companions, Mrs. E. D. Godfrey, Margaret Waite
and Miss Isabelle. It flowers late, coming into
bloom during late November and is the latest flower-
ing yellow single variety we have grown or have
seen. The form and character of the flower spray
is ideal and the late flowering characteristic greatly
enhances the value of this- to the grower. It would
be good at any season and in December it is alone
in its class.

KATHERINE HARLEY. (A. N. Pierson, Inc.) The
flower is a beautiful light bronze with the tips of the
petals shading to a yellowish-bronze. The combi-
nation gives a most pleasing shade of bronze. Very
strong grower, has fine, lustrous foliage and is in
bloom by November 10.

and if the retailers of this city are not
bappy, it is because so many of their
sales were charge accounts. Even this
is a blessing in disguise for it shows that
a number of the old time buyers are com-
ing back, which is a good augury for the
balance of the Winter's trade. Many dl
the buyers of the past few years now with
reduced incomes, will have to cut out at
least part of their expenditures for flow-
ers.

Plants, if anything, carried the lead
in Christmas buying, but there were few
if any good cut flowers left over ; it was
only the seconds that failed in their ap-
peal to the buying public.

The plant growers seem thoroughly
alive to the needs of the trade and their
stock did not suffer as much from the bad
weather as that of the cut flower grower.
The H. D. Rohrer establishment fur-
nished Primulas in line shape and their
Cyclamens were a close second to the
Craig stock.

Made up boxes and baskets were the
mam feature of the B. F. Barr establish-
nient ; their window advertising was along
this line and brought them lots of drop-
in trade. Another strong feature of theirs
were the 3tt. and 4ft. Poinsettias as a
cut flower proposition, appealing to all
lovers of high grade stock. Wreaths
were also in heavy demand ; every store
in town had prepared to meet this de-
mand and yet did not have enough of
them.

Prices ranged high and there were some
complaints on this score ; some few went
without buying on this account, and the
amount of trade made it almost impos-
sible to explain the situation properly to
them.

Publicity

The slogan "Say it with Flowers"
IS without a doubt responsible for the
condition of trade this Christmas, as with
general business conditions in the shape
they are now, there would certainly have
been somewhat of a slump if this slogan
had not been preached from the house
tops, and in the highways and byways
all over this land.

It certainly seems that it would be a
wise business policy for every grower and
every retailer to make a liberal donation
from their holiday returns toward the
publicity fund, for if the advertising is
not kept up, the slogan itself will not be
in print for any length of time.
Oddments

It may be a little late, but it's
never too late to do good ; I want to
record the fact that Mrs. Geo. Goldbach

had to make all the wreaths and floral
decorations for the Elks Memorial Serv-
ice of both Lancaster and Columbia. This
is getting to be some order, let me say.

If "Woolgatherer" will kindly come to
Lancaster and show our Geranium grow-
ers how to produce Geranium cuttings
that will root a fair percentage in the
weather we have been having, I am sure
that he can start the New Year savings
account with a good batch of Lancaster
money. "Be a sport and tell us how."
Albert M. Hebb.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

It is too early to have a full report
of the holiday business in the Pittsburgh
district, but from reports that have
drifted through, it was a wonder ; every-

day. There was a shortage of red Roses
and Carnations and at the last, any price
could have been realized had it been pos-
sible to obtain them.

American Beauty were in short supply
and were sold before they arrived, realiz-
ing anywhere from 20c. for the shortest,
up to $1.50 for the specials. Premier and
Columbia were the favorites of the Roses
outside of red, but they ran more to the
fancy stock and long stems and, at the
last, it was necessary to cut prices in or-
der to move them ; in fact, the movement
of fancy Roses of all kinds was sluggish.
In many cases the prices realized did not
exceed that of medium length stock. But-
terfly, Oprelia, Sunburst, Maryland, Had-
ley and Pink and White Killarney all
sold well in the shorter lengths.

The supply of Carnations was small
and many more could have been disposed

The Therkildson*s Christmas Card

(iConsiderably Reduced)

We thought our readers might be equally interested with ourselves in the Christmas card
mailed out to their friends by the Therkildsons — and for that reason it is here reproduced. W. F.
Therkildson, as everj'body in the trade knows, is not only a practical and a practicing farmer, a
keen horticulturist and a good seedsman but. as well, is endowed with a keen insight into the ad-
vertising business, hence it is that today he is the manager of the agricultural department of N.
W. Ayer & Son. of Philadelphia, the greatest advertising agency in its line possibly in the world.

With this preface and in explanation of the card would say that W. F. Therkildson wrote the
poem. It had to be renTitten for the purpose of its being photo-engraved into a line plate, so it
comes about that the handwriting shown is that of Mrs. Therkildson; the drawing itself is from
photographs which were redrawn by the art department of X. W. Ayer &, Son. this being necessi-
tated as a halftone would not print on the rough paper used. The lesson taught by this unique
production is that whatever you set out to do should be not only well done but better done than
was ever done before — and we must concede that the Therkildsons have come out at the top in
their endeavor to produce a Christmas card decidedly superior to the average.

one is more than satisfied. Due to the
fact that cut flowers were so high in
price, it was a plant Christmas, and
never before was so much artificial and
prepared stock used and sold.

The weather was ideal for shopping
and Friday before Christmas found the
city so full of shoppers that it was hard
to get through the streets. This, of
course, helped the florists to a great ex-
tent. Cut flowers were the one big disap-
pointment, although the volume done by
the wholesale houses will compare favor-
ably with last year. Still, it could have
been larger had there been a full supply
of Carnations and medium and short I
Roses. The stock was in wonderful con-
dition, with none of the pickled stock
that is usually in evidence around a holi-

of ; the quality was excellent. Easter
Lilies were in short supply and cleaned
up on arrival.

Stevia and Paperwhite Narcissus were
in over supply and in most cases, the
prices realized were not as high as those
of the previous week. At closing time
Friday the wholesale houses had a lot of
both left on their hands. The supply of
Violets was also too large, but that is
mostly the grower's fault as he reported
a shortage and the wholesaler booked or-
ders accordingly. At the last minute,
large shipments were received that were
not expected. The supply of Valley and
nrebids was about equal to the demand.
Calendula, Baby Primroses and Migno-
nette moved slowly. The supply of
greens was equal to the demand.

Taking everything into consideration,
the business was more than satisfactory,
but we must take warning and watdi
prices closer on the next Christmas, or
we will find plants and artificial stock
supplanting cut flowers to a greater ex-
tent, as the retail florists all over the
country are pushing both items exten-
sively. C. E. Tipton.

Amsterdam, N- Y-

In our issue of Dec. 25, page 1363,
was brieflv recorded the death of Mary
King Hatcher, wife of John C. Hatcher,
who passed away on the morning of Dec.
17. The funeral was attended on Tues-
day, Dec. 21, at 2 p.m., at the family-
residence at Hoffmans, N. Y., by an as-
semblage of sorrowing relatives and
friends who filled the house. The casket
of solid oak was covered with a robe of
choice orchids, and a wealth of other
floral remembrances gave beautiful tribute
to the love in which this widely esteemed
woman was held. Interment was in
the family plot in Green Hill.

Stamford Horticultural Society

The regular monthly meeting of the
Society will be held in Horticultural Hall,
Forest st. and Greyrock place, on Mon-
day, Jan. 3, 1921, at 7.30 p.m.

Please note meeting night changed to
first Monday night in each month. Mem-
bers are hereby notified that at the regu-
lar meeting of the society held Dec. 3, it
was moved and seconded that alterations
be made to the bylaws necessary to meet
the needs of the society, also to make a
further advance in dues, and that this
matter be presented for discussion at the
January meeting.

Walter O. Filley, State Forester, will
give an illustrated talk on "State For-
ests and State Parks." It is hoped that
every member will be present to hear this
interesting subject by such a well known
authority. Owen A. Hxtnwick,

Secretary.

The Fertilizer Situation

Under the Lever Food Control Law,
the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture has been
showing the iron hand beneath the velvet
glove to the large fertilizer manufactur-
ers. In September last, market prices for
ammonia averaged around ?5 per unit of
20 lbs., and other fertilizers in propor-
tion, all somewhat below rates prevail-
ing previously. The department there-
fore issued a letter to all manufacturers
requesting information as to the prices
proposed for the Spring season, 1921,
Prices submitted were based upon a unit
cost of $0.25 for 20 lbs. for ammonia,
and other fertilizers in proportion. These
prices induced the department to protest,
and it was pointed out that the markets
were likely to fall still further, therefore
prices as proposed were not justified.

The department's protest was appar-
ently warranted for by November 15 Am-
monia had dropped to $4 a unit of 20 lbs.
since when there have been further sub-
stantial reductions on all raw materials.
Acid phosphate within the last few weeks
has declined from $20 to $17 a ton and
prices are expected to still further de-
cline. The Departmental statement goes
on to say that prices quoted for mixed
fertilizers for Spring, 1921, are too high
and, while the Lever Act. does not auth-
orize the fixing of fertilizer prices, manu-
facturers who exact unreasonable pro-
fits are liable to prosecution. Farmers
and other large users of fertilizers are
urged to exercise care in planning op-
erations in regard to the use of ferti-
lizers.

Albany. N. Y. — The tenth anniversary
of .1. T. Travison's florist establishment
was observed last week, and the enters
prising proprietor and his assistants re-
ceived many tokens of esteem and good
wUl. Originally J. T. Travison embarked
in business in the small apartment located
at 335 So. Pearl st, later purchasing the
block and enlarging the stores. The de-
livery has recently been equipped with
motor vehicles and every department of
the business is now uptodate. Announce-
ment is now made of the enlarging of the
firm, and the new firm name hereafter
\vill be J. T. and M. Travison.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

The improvement of commercial Chrysanthemums
has long been our endeavor. The majority of those
grown today for this purpose originated with us.

Early and late planting as well as the state of cul-
tivation have marked effect upon the result. These
operations are influenced by conditions surrounding the
individual grower and in many instances are beyond con-
trol. The highest percentage of marketable blooms is the
cardinal point in determining commercial character.

Those desiring to improve qualities with the least
effort, will be furnished a list of the best kinds, both new
and old, uf)on request.

Bartram's Cypress Has Fallen

A Landmark in America's First Botanical Garden

Passes Away

SAMUEL NEWMAN BAXTER

When a storm during the past Summer laid low the
famous deciduous Cypress (Taxodium distichum) in
Bartram's Garden, Philadelphia, our photographer was
assigned to record the last remains of this old giant.

In 1735 John Bartram is said to have brought this
tree in his saddle bags from a botanical exploration to
Kent County, Delaware, to his garden on the Schuylkill
River. It grew to be 150ft. high and 37ft. in circum-
ference. Although dead for several years the huge
upright trunk had been reverently protected from vandal-
ism by the iron railing shown in the photograph. A
companion tree, collected at the
same time, was sent by Bartram
to his friend Peter Collinson in
London, and is said to be still
alive at Mill Hill where it is
cherished and more revered than
those plants that remain in Bar-
tram's Garden today.

Although fond of swampy
ground the Cypress does not in-
sist upon excessive moisture, and
its adaptability to fill a position
where a pyramidal tree is wanted
is all too frequently overlooked.
Although lacking the same rapid-
ity of growth, it may well be
classed with the Lombardy Pop-
lar as the "interrogation point in
landscape architecture," so spire-
like is its habit of growth, in this
locality spreading only in great
age.

Although not common on trees
iq this section, the so-called
"Knees" or conical growths
formed above ground from the
roots are interesting. As the cause
of these Knees is frequently a
topic for discussion, the opinion
of Prof. Wilson, who conducted
experiments several years ago at
the University of Pennsylvania,
may be of interest. By experi-
menting with seedlings he at-
tributed the "Knees" to the root
tips coming up to the surface and
turning to go in the ground. At
the point where the root became
bent the "Knees" gradually formed.
A Southern firm used to adver-
tise these "Knees" in The Flo-
rists' Exchange as flower hold-
ers or baskets, the "Knees" being
sawed off at the ground, hollowed out to hold water
and used in an inverted position.

Joseph Meehan used to tell the story of an old gentle-
man who was the owner of a Colonial estate in German-
town in which grew a Cypress noted for its "Knees."
One day a new gardener (?) came upon the scene and,
like the new broom, proceeded to sweep clean. He
started to "tidy up a bit" to surprise the boss on his
homecoming that evening and made short work of the
Knees which, to him, seemed like so many old stumps.
The boss was surprised — and then some!
*****

Our readers may be interested in the figures shown
in our portrait of the Bartram Cypress. The youngest
boy shown in the foreground is Joseph Meehan Baxter,
the boy with the flowers is S. N. Baxter, Jr., the boy in
the rear is Master Bentz, whose father is responsible
for hundreds of tree and shrub illustrations shown in
The Exchange during the almost score of years that
he worked under the directions of Joseph Meehan for
the production of the subjects which the latter used to
write about for this page. The gentleman in the "shell
hole" is Samuel N. Baxter himself and he writes, "being
6ft. in height you may judge by comparison the height
of the tree trunk."

Should Nurserymen Certify Their Sales J

Address made by Alv'm E. Nelson before the Illinois
Nurserymen's Association, at its convention in Chicacjo,
February, 1920.

The question, "Should the Illinois Nurserymen's As-
sociation certify to sales made by its members" really
includes two question ; First, Should any nurserymen's
association certify the sales by its members? and, sec-
ond. Should the Illinois Nurserymen's Association be
the body which certifies to such sales?

My answer to the first question would be in the
affirmative because by such means we can most effectu*
ally combat the harm that has been done to the nursery
business in general by the bad practices of a few un-
scrupulous men. These bad practices have thrown dis-
credit on our trade, and unless the nurserymen as a
body clean up their house the Government will do it
for them. The public is certainly entitled to protection
from some source and it is the duty of the Government

Bartram's Cypress has Fallen

This sapling was brought by John Bartram in 1735 in his saddle bags from a botanical exploration in Kent County,

Deleware, and planted in his garden on the Schuylkill River. Its greatest dimensions were 150 ft. high

and 27 ft. in circumference

to furnish that protection wherever necessary.

Do not suppose that the nursery business has been
singled out as specially in need of Government control.
The Government has safeguarded the public from pos-
sible abuses in many other businesses. Banks are con-
trolled for the safety of the depositors. Investments
companies are under Government supervision. Many of
the professions are required to take up licenses after
passing rigid examinations. Among such are doctors,
dentists, lawyers, insurance companies, architects, en-
gineers, plumbers and others. Industries such as the
packing are rigidly inpected and then licensed for the
benefit of the public.

In the case of the banks the Government safeguards
the public's deposits; in the case of investments, the
public's investments ; and in the insurance, the Govern-
ment practically guarantees that the assured is protected
from loss and that the beneficiary will certainly receive
payment. In the case of the packers, the objeqt of
Government protection is the wholesomeness of the
product. They have to certify as to the health of the
animal slaughtered, and to the sanitary conditions under
which it was packed. In fact, every manufacturer of
food commodities operates under the pure food laws
of the United States.

Now the question arises as to what protection the
purchaser is entitled to against possible abuses in the
nursery business:

(1) He is entitled to the assurance that he is getting
the variety of plant which he orders ;

(2) He is entitled to be safeguarded against receiv-
ing plants that are diseased or infested with insect
pests ;

(3) He is entitled to receive plants furnished with
sufficient roots and which are handled with sufficient
care to make them grow.

Certain States have passed laws intended to safeguard
the purchaser in the particulars just mentioned, but the
framers of those laws, in their eagerness to protect the
public, made them so drastic for the nurserymen that
they are unable to operate under them.

Now it is believed that if the nurserymen in one of
their own associations could furnish ample protection
to the public, such drastic laws would not be made in
the future, and that those now on the statute books
might be annulled and, what is of
greater importance, the confidence
of the public would be strength-
ened, and the planting of trees
would greatly increase.

How shall we as nurserymen
accomplish this? As the condi-
tions are national and not local,
it seems to me that it ought to be
dealt with nationally and not lo-
cally. We are all members — or
at least should be — of both our
State association and our na-
tional association. I therefore
believe that the Illinois Associa-
tion of Nurserymen ought not to
enter this work, but that we ought
to heartily support such a move-
ment for this purpose which is
already being discussed in the na-
tional association.

A suggestion has been made
that the national association cer-
tify to the genuineness of every
purchase from any of its members,
and to this I would add that it
certifies that it will return money
back for any plant sold which is
not true to name, or which is dis-
eased in any way, or has insuffi-
cient roots.

It might be objected that the
association would be involving it-
self in a large financial obligation
to so certify the sales of its mem-
bers, and I agree that it ought not
to undertake this responsibility
without previously having received
a bond from each of its members
to make good any loss which may
be incurred by the association on
his business. If this is done, there
ought not to be any great danger
in making the experiment, and certainly a national body
could exploit this service to the public by means of a
publicity campaign, in such a way that each member
will receive full benefit from it. This can be done by
the national body at far less expense than if each indi-
vidual nurseryman attempted to do it for himself.

It has been objected that certifying to the genuine-
ness of all sales would be a boon to the crooks in the
nursery business at the expense of the honest nursery-
man. This objection is partly met by the bond which I
suggest the national body should require from each of
its members to indemnify it against loss, but supervi-
sion should not end there. The officers of the associa-
tion know full well who the crooks are, and as there are
very few of them, would be able to give them special
supervision. If they continue to abuse the good name
of the association they could be dropped from member-
ship. The mere dropping from membership, however,
would not effect much if such outlaw concerns were
able to buy stock from our members ; so there would
probably have to be an agreement such as exists in
many other trades to sell stock at wholesale prices to
firms of good standing only. This agreement being on
the face of it for the benefit of the public and not for

Max Schling of Kew York confesses to spending
$30 000 in advertising annually for the boosting of F. T.
D. business. Think of it: $30,000! One Christmas ad-
vertisement appeared in four New York newspapers at
a cost of $1000. We are moving on to bigger thmgs,
without a doubt, a thought that can come to us at no
better time than the beginning of a new year.

Arbitration of the wage scale between the Employing
Printers of New York and the various unions connected
with the printing industry has been going on since Oct. 1
last, at which date the agreement come to after the great
strike of a year ago expired. The arbitrators have just
now made known their decision, resulting in another
substantial advance all around to the men, and retro-
active to Oct 1, 1930.

With white paper remaining at its present high cost
it will clearly be seen that so far as printing is concerned
there is not the slightest relief in sight for a reduction
■from the present tariffs but. on the contrary, an increase
in charges to meet the wage advance.

The name of Samuel Untermeyer, Greystone-on-the-
Hudson, N. Y., is one familiar to the trade by reason
of his fine exhibits in the private gardeners' section at
flower shows held in New York. Mr. Untermeyer has
the past few weeks held a place daily on the front pages
of the newspapers in connection with a far-reaching in-
quiry into New York's housing scandal. Some of the
stormiest meetings in the history of the "big village"
have taken place during the investigation, and we read
that in the midst of it all Mr. Untermeyer has never
failed to take one flower of the many hundreds at Grey-
stone to each session of the committee investigation.
Who will deny the silent help Mr. Untermeyer receives
from the one solitary bloom at his side during the bitter
fight?

Until Dec. 23, the last month in the year was "going
out" with the same lamblike meekness that accompanied
its "coming in." This, in the opinion of the householder,
the greenhouse man and all other users of coal, was
"all to the merry." For the first time (with one ex-
ception) that we can recollect without straining our
memories or looking up the facts in the papers, New
York and vicinity enjoyed a truly green Christmas, with
clear blue skies, bright sunlight and a moderate tem-
perature in the bargain. Of course, we all' know what
a "green Christmas" is but. after all, the name is hardly
appropriate as one thinks of the colorful sight pre-
sented by the average florist shop on the eve of the
holiday, or of the glorious hues of the products of such
shops, which went to brighten many a home and the
myriads of dwellers therein.

Blue Hydrangeas

■Editor The Florists' Exchange:

Does anyone remember the splendid plants in tubs
"that used to be a feature about the house of the late.
Samuel Thorne at Millbrook, N. Y.? The blue ones
were always blue and the pink ones always pmk, but
any pink one this year was made blue next, if the de-
cision was made in time, and there's the rub! I. L.
"Powell, the gardener to Mr. Thorne told me that the
blue color was developed at will by using alum in the
water. "But," said Mr. Powell, "You begin the year be-
fore, by using the alum on the plant as soon as it has
flowered" — impregnating the future growth during its
formative period. That sounds reasonable, and I re-
member Mr. Thorne showed me plants that had, he said,
been blued to order. Leonard B.\eron.

For many this is the week of resolutions. To those
we offer our wishes for strength, endurance and divine
aid in living up to them. Every man knows his own
needs in this d.rection better than we can know them ;
so we are not going to suggest any general resolutions.
But this is also a season of hopes and aspirations, and
although men may know what thej- want in this connec-
tion, too, we are going to offer a suggestion or two.
We, for instance, would wish for health with
which we are enabled to do more when all
goes well and to withstand more when things
go ill.

We would wish for a broader-minded under-
standing of the points of view of others, so
that we may work in greater harmony and
enjoy the full fruits of cooperation and mutual
e£Forts.

We would wish for the opportunity to serve
others — our relations, our friends, our cus-
tomers, our fellow citizens, our community
and our country; and also for the ability to
appreciate and make full use of this oppor-
tunity.

We would wish for legitimate returns from
our efforts, in due proportion to those efforts
and to our sincerity and industry.

And we would wish that we might be given
plenty of good hard work and the will and
power to do it well; for as Uncle Ab says,
"Only a lazy man wants an easy job — the
hard jobs are the ones worth doing."

To the Members of the Society of American
Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists

With my term as president of the society now at an
end, I can look back to an office which has afforded me
both pleasure and pride. A close association with my
brother officers throughout a year has revealed some
most earnest and thorough team-work resulting to the
great benefit of our society, and my heart:)' thanks are
tendered to them for their cooperation and cheerful
assistance to me throughout my administration. Par-
ticularly am I indebted to our secretary, whose cordial
assistance has been at all times available, and whose ad-
vice has tended to make my duties pleasant, and my
pathway smooth.

To our executive board is due much credit for their
zealous attention to the many details in the management
of the society's affairs, the extent of which is only re-
alized when one is called upon to preside over an annual
meeting of their body, which calls for two days or more
of incessant deliberation. I have been especially for-
tunate in having the advantage of a board whose per-
sonnel included some of the best brains among our
membership.

I have greatly appreciated the assistance rendered by
our State vice-presidents, who, it would seem to me,
have this year taken more than an ordinary interest in
the society's work. It is my hope that a continuance of
this interest will be manifest in the work of the ap-
pointees of my esteemed successor in office.

To the members of our standing coimnittees I extend
my most sincere thanks for their services during the
year, rendered so unselfishly and often at great sacrifice
of time, and frequently at much personal expense. The
importance of the work of these committees cannot, in
my opinion, be over-estimated.

Lastly, mv thanks are due to those members who at-
tended the Cleveland convention last August and helped
to make the gathering the largest in the history of the
society, of which record I am, naturally, more than
proud. , .

It is my earnest hope that the society s aims and ob-
jects have been advanced under my presidency in line
with the advancements made under the administrations
of my predecessors in office, and I bespeak for my suc-
cessor the same courtesy of service and cooperation
which has been so liberally accorded to jne during my
occupancy of an office which will ever be considered by
me as the greatest honor to be bestowed by our industry
upon anyone engaged in it.

A. L. Miller.

sight from the right eye had completely gone previously)
would fail unless his general health improved, at this
he adds, "I don't give up and feel unbeaten yet." Think
of this expression of courage from a man who had been
sorely troubled with an asthmatic cough for years,
which did not allow him rest, who was completely deaf,
and who could not even then see the pencil lines he was
writing except as a blurred line.

Mr. Meehan's pluck in the face of all the odds against
him is rarely duplicated. Always in the last three or
four years, in his diminishing correspondence, there was
expressed the same optimism and determination to over-
come, and it was undoubtedly this same dogged disposi-
tion to surmount difficulties which was the means of
his raising himself to the position he occupied in the
nursery world — second to none in his practical knowl-
edge of everv' phase of that industry. It was from this
knowledge — conveyed in his own somewhat quaint style
of expression — that for eighteen years enabled him to
draw the material to fill his nurserj' page in The Flo-
rists' Exchange, to answer satisfactorily every ques-
tion that was put to him, and to have his views on nur-
serj- subjects as expounded week after week received by
nurserymen without contradiction. His every word was
carefully studied before it came to us. Any change, the
slightest deviation from his phraseologj-. would ensure
us a friendly "calling down." It was the practice of
the same exactitude in all the affairs of his life's work
which made him what he was, a leading — perhaps it
might not be amiss to say, the leading — authority' in the
Eastern United States on its trees and shrubs. With
the same preciseness which marked all his actions Mr.
Meehan several 3'ears ago furnished us the greater por-
tion of his biographv' — it was his desire to have it cor-
rect.

Singularly, through all the years Mr. Meehan was
connected with the paper the writer met him but three
times in the flesh — such is the irony of fate — but the
intellectual pleasure of these infrequent meetings will
never be forgotten. The last "come-together" was at
the writer's home many j'ears ago. when he took us. one
afternoon, through the nearby fields and woods and
revealed to us the countless forms of life which in-
habited them, his knowledge of the wild flowers and
weeds being equally complete with his knowledge of the
cultivated kinds. "Truly a great man in the nurserj' field
has passed from among us. His must have been the
consolation that his life's work had been rounded out
and well done.

On the Death of Joseph Meehan

The Reaper has this past week taken one from, among
us who must have been ready and longing for relief
from an almost intolerable condition, yet one who, under
conditions of aflliction visited on few, was bravery per-
sonified to the end.

We are speaking of our dear old friend, Joseph
Meehan. The last letter received from him was under
date of Oct. 14. 1919, and in it, after telling us his doc-
tor had said he feared an operation on his left eye (the

TWO APPROACHING MEETINGS

National Flower Growers Association

The first annual meeting is scheduled to take place
at Washington, D. C, on Thursday, Jan. 27, at 1 p.m.
Only accredited representatives from the permanently
organized district locals will be entitled to vote at this
meeting. These district locals are as follows : New
England. Chicago, St Louis, Western . New York.
Cleveland and mid-W^est.

So far as known at this writing the meeting will not
be a closed one but will be open to all growers who
care to attend. The principal business of the meeting
will be the final adoption of the constitution with such
amendments as will be presented, of which it is under-
stood there are quite a number, and the election of per-
manent officers for the ensuing year. Another matter
that is likely to be brought up will be that in reference
to national publicity and the part the growers are to
take in it. Other important questions are quite likely
to come up for discussion and action in such an im-
portant gathering as this will be.

The American Carnation Society

The society will hold its annual convention at Wash-
ington, D. C, Jan. 26 and 27, 1931. Headquarters, in-
cluding the exhibition, will be at the New Willard Hotel.
The premium schedule has been mailed to all members
and extra copies will be mailed upon request to those
who are interested. Classes are provided for the vari-
ous varieties and colors in both new and standard sorts,
with cash and medal prizes offered. Entries must be
in by Jan. 16 to escape penalty for late entrj-. A large
attendance is expected and a complete exhibit desired.
Come! Washington offers unusual opportunity for
sightseeing aside from the interest in the convention,
making the meeting both pleasant and profitable. Fol-
lowing is a program of the business sessions :

Christmas Plants and Flowers in New York City Retail Shops

BY JOS. H. SPERRY

Introductory Remarlcs

CHRISTMAS li)30 canw at a time when for several
niontlis previous the delegates of more than forty
peoples who helonged to a "League of Nations"
nad been assembled in Geneva, Switzerland, having as
their prime object the preservation of "Peace on earth,

§ood will toward men." This Christmas came also
Uring the travail and throes of the readjustment period,
not yet pa.st, following the world's most terrible and
destructive war.

Notwithstanding the extremely serious problems which
cohfront the nations and the gruesome con-
ditions among many of them, the obser-
vance of Christmas, we must remember, is
a very old custom. We should furthermore
realize that New York is the largest, rich-
est and gayest but withal the most philan-
thropic, charitable and generous city in the
world. New York is never backward in
remembering the poor, whether in her own
midst or in the Antipodes. On Sunday,
Dec. 19, at a meeting in the Metropolitan
Opera House New Yorkers gave as a be-
ginning $650,000 to help care for the desti-
tute children of Central and Southeastern
Europe. This was a concrete example of
hiw New York City gives — and she never
stops giving. Coneequ^ntly, New Yorit
City was conscience free this year to have
and to enjoy a "Merry Christmas."

The Plant Suppfy

From the best obtainable information the
general supply of plants in those growing
establishments whose products were shipped
to New York City this Christmas w^s not
above medium. The variety of those avail-
able in any considerable numbers was not
large. Poinsettias in pans were in larger
supply and of better quality than I have
seen in any previous year. The number
of Azaleas, as a matter of course, was
rather meagre, and the plants were small,
and confined almost entirely to the variety
Mme. Petrick ; many of these, it is reported,
failed to come into flower. There was a
limited number of Cyclamen of good qual-
ity, coming mostly, as did the Azaleas, from
the establishments of two or three growers.
The offering of Marguerites was limited,
but that was to be expected, as this is not
a Christmas plant. There was a medium
supply of Begonia Mrs. Peterson, but al-
most none of the older Begonia Lorraine.
The blooms of the newer variety are said
to hold well on the plant, and this ap-
peared to be true. The supply of Ericas
was quite large, mostly of the varietv
melanthera, but there were some fragrans
and regerminans, and a few of the beauti-
ful larger flowered variety, Pres. Carnot
There was a medium supply of splendid
Crotons. There were many Orange plants and not a
few of. these were grown taller, it seemed to me, than
in former years. Pandanus Veitchii, and Dracaena ter-
minalis and other varieties of Dracaena were not numer-
ous. Cattleyas, for obvious reasons, were extremely
.scarce, but what .were seen were well covered with
flowers. Few Cypripediums, too, were seen.

Of berried plants, the Cherries were in exceedingly
large numbers; a considerable percentage of these had
orange colored berries, this newer type appearing now
to be well fixed. There was a moderate number of
Christmas Peppers, some of these of extra large size;
these were of the larger fruited type and the Peppers
stayed well on the plants. Ardisias were scarce, small,
and mostly of mediocre quality.

The deliveries . of plants during the pre-Christmas
week, and the supplementary deliveries during Christ-
mas week itself, as far as weather conditions were con-
cerned, were made with great comfort, economy and
expedition.

Among the Retail Florists

During all of Christmas week with the exception of
Wednesday, when in the afternoon there was a mist
and gentle rkin, the weather was conducive to large
sales in the retail flower stores, and deliveries were
made under the most favorable circumstances. This
helped much toward increasing the volume of business
in the aggregate Christmas trees, wreaths, Holly, ever-
green boughs, etc., were out in the open on the pave-

menfs in front of all flower stores, thus relieving the
stores within of these bulky goods.

It was our task, and pleasure as well, during the three
days before Christmas to visit a number of the retail
flower stores and as we went about the city we could
nut but note with keen interest that

Not^thelLarge Stores Only

on the principal streets and' avenues were resplendent
with their Christmas offerings of plants, but .the sinaller
.'tores, too, far over on the East side and the West, and

Marguerite, Rose, Hydrangea, Cyrtomium Rochfordianum in a
basket, the handle entwined with Hedera helix and tied
with bows of ribbon

in fact throughout the city, made a brave show of what
was distinctly suitable for Christmas.

In the Larger Stores

In the larger stores I found almost everywhere the
same kinds of plants for the most part, but in each of
these there was some one kind of which that store had
a notably large supply of superior quality. In most
stores I noted that plant combinations almost entirely
were offered, perhaps because there was this year a
dearth of specimen plants of high quality, with tw'o or
three exceptions, and those' of medium quality were
used to better advantage in these plant combinations.
I observed also that ribbons were used freely and these
certainly added greatly to the appearance of the plants,
and gave the stores a brighter, more cheerful and holi-
day-like appearance. Red was, of course, the prevailjng
color, but orange, yellow, orchid, crnton, and flower
figured ribbons were much used.

Just a Few Observations

If it so please you I will tell you what I observed in
"my calls, in the way not of novelties but of plants of
superior quality, and of pleasing plant combinations,
and old time plants seldom seen.

At Charles H. Brown's, 2.366 Broadway, the e.^cceed-
ingly well arranged plant combinations were a notable
feature: it was not the size of these, but rather their
harmonv which drew attention.

David Clark's Sons, 2139-2141 Broadway, had small

baskets of pretty foliage plants, tastefully arranged,
which they sold for $5. This showed the human interest
which this firm has in people of small means. I saw
here, also, more and better Azaleas and Cyclamen than
Were noted elsewhere. The plant combinations, into
which entered largely Ericas, Crotons, Draca;nas, Pep-
pers, and Pteris, had a pretty feature, namely, the han-
dles of the baskets containing these were entwined with
English Ivy.

Malandre Bros., 3703 Broadway, had a real novelty,
namely, artistically made terra cotta Brownies from
France, some as large as children of school age, carry-
ing hampers or baskets on their backs or receptacles
under their arms, filled with plants or cut flowers. Here
I noted, too, some splendid Cattleyas in gilded pots,
hand painted with figures of tropical birds, and tied
with orchid colored ribbon; also unusually fine orange
plants. Orchid and Orange plants are always, I t-.„ve
noted, favorites with Malandre Bros, for the holidays.

When I reached Max Schling's store, at 785 Fifth
ave., Mr. Schling was found very busy, but his able
lieutenant, Mr. Ferguson, took me in
charge, and showed me the great stock of
plants and cut flowers contamed in the spa-
cious basement as well as in the large main
floor salesroom. Among the old-time
plants I saw here were Epiphyllum gaert-
neri, Eucharis amazonica, Clivia miniata,
Camellia japonica. Begonia Rex, also Bro-
melias and Billbergias in bloom, the last
two in mossed pots and tied with red rib-
bon. Among the many pleasing plant com-
binations seen here, one cannot help but
mention two or three, namely, choice Cy-
pripediums in full bloom, in mossed pans
set off with sprays of red berries and yel-
low ribbons ; Echeveria metallica glauca in
bloom in mossed pans set off with sprays
of red berries and tied with red ribbons.
Here, too, was seen one of the prettiest of
yellow combinatiohs, among other many
larger plant combinations in excellent ar-
rangements, namely, an Orange plant in a
basket set off with ferns and sprays of yel-
low berried Cotoneaster, with sprays of the
latter entwining the handles and tied with
a yellow ribbon.

G. E. M. Stumpp, Fifth ave. at 58th St..
had the largest plant combinations which
were noted this Christmas. They were
magnificent, and the prices were but $75
and $100 each. They were well worth the
price, but having no friend with me of
^whom I could borrow I did not buy. A
candelabra with a base of Tsu»a and Box-
wood sprays and branches, covered with
Lycopodium and surmounted with red can-
dles, was a real novelty. A shallow fruit
basket filled with cut Cattleyas and hot-
house grapes, and another similar basket
of a rich blue color filled with grapes and
yellow Cypripedium blooms and^ bronze
Mahonia foliage, were elegant. Then, here
also, was noted a Strelitzia regina (Bird
of Paradise plant), and some fine Cattleya
plants in full bloom.

M. A. Bowe, 332 Fifth ave., had among
his larger offerings of excellent quality a
pretty little novelty which sold rapidly,
namely, miniature red Cedars, about four
inches high, made apparently out of the
thick branch tips of large trees, in 2J/2in.
pots. These little trees were set off with red berries
and red ribbon.

In the abundant supply of fine plants at Dards. Madi-
son ave. at 44th St., were noted Christmas Peppers of
largest size in gilded baskets, as fine Pepper plants as
ever were seen; also remarkably beautiful plants of
Begonia Mrs. Peterson, and elegant plant combinations.
A. T. Bunyard. Madison ave. at 48th s;., as usual,
featured largely choice single specimen plants. Among
these were some elegant Cattleya plants. Not only were
they set off with a bow of wide orchid colored ribbon
but the pots holding the plants were covered entirely
with the same. Here, too, was noted Erica melanthera
of largest size.

At Hession's, Madison ave. at 76th st. I saw baskets -
filled with large Orange plants and magnificent Crotons.
trimmed, some with yellow, some with Croton colored
ribbon. These were among the richest and most ele-
gant combinations wJiich were seen by me this Christ-
mas.

Of the many fine offerings at Henry Hart's. Madison
a\c. at 78th St.. the baskets filled with Erica reger
minans, Cattleyas. Cypripediums and Farleyense fern^.
seemed to us one of. the choicest of plant combinations
possible.

Some of the richest, and most appropriate and novel
combinations for Christmas gifts were .seen at Rnhort
Wilson's, Fulton st, and Greene ave., Brooklyn. These
were baskets containing hothouse Grapes, Pears, a box
of choice chocolate candy, and either orchids, Roses.

At Kottmiller's, 426 Madison ave., I
noted among a full line of quality plants
some exceptionally fine specimens of
Erica Pres. Carnot and pink flowered
Poinsettias.

It was at Guido's, Inc., Lexington ave.,
at 52d St., that were seen some of the
largest and finest Crotons noted in my
round of calls, and many plant arrange-
ments in excellent taste.

There was but little bulbous stock in
flower for Christmas, but I saw at Burns',
509 Madison ave., pans of white Dutch
Hyacinths and of pink and white Tulips,
and at Kather's, 754 Madison ave., pans
of Dutch Hyacinths in three separate"
colors.

Other stores called on and where I
found all hands busy selling their well ar-
ranged plant combinations and single
plants were Myer, Madison ave., at 58th
St. ; Rigo Bros., 810 Madison ave. ; Leik- i
ens, Madison ave., at 55th st., Ramm,
Madison ave. at 4Sth st. ; Evans, Lex-
ington ave., near 55th st. ; A. Meyer, 1062
Madison ave., and Weir, Inc., 324 Ful-
ton St., Brooklyn.

As to the prices of plants and plant
combinations the general range was $10
to $50. There were some priced at $00
to $100, and a few at from $5 to $8, and
a very few miniatures, so to describe
them, at $3 to $5.

As to sales, it appears to be the con-
sensus of opinion among the retailers
that there was about a medium business
transacted, both in plants and cut flowers.

Christmas in the Chicago Flower
Shops

The flower shops of Chicago were
prominent factors in the perpetuation of
the true Christmas spirit. It was a typi-
cal Christmas with all the attributes of
hoary Winter. The contrast between in-
terior warmth and good cheer, with bleak
forbidding Nature on the outside, gave
the feast special piquancy. Under such
conditions, when mankind becomes un-
usually conscious of a desire to be kind,
flowers fill an important part. Their lan-
guage is universal, their messages of bless-
ings and good cheer are spoken in every
known tongue. They can "say it" to the
faint heart as well as to the merry cele-
brant of the glorious Christmas time.

It was the second Christmas since
Quarantine 37 went into effect and its
effects on the various displays was disas-
trously apparent. The time honored
Azalea indica. Rhododendrons, Ardisia
crenulata, Aucuba japonica, Skimmias
and Araucarias were notably absent, with
not even the semblance of a substitute
that advocates of the quarantine ruling
have been promising the trade. There
was a scarcity of American grown stock
in all plant lines used for holiday trade.

Next Green Issue Feb.
5, 1921

One prominent grower of Cyclamens for
the Dhicajjo retail trade is reputed to
have lost $1S,U00 worth of plants from
the ravages ui tlie Gyclameu mite. Tliis
loss was aistmctively felt on. the Chicago
market. Utiier growers failed to bloom
their plants soon enough for the holiday
trade, cloudy weather being against them.
I'lanta shipped in here for the Christmas
plant trade had to be returned as unlit
for immediate sales. Next to Cyclamens
were ijegonias -Melior, Cincinnati and
Lorraine ; these were not as well flow-
ered and in lesser quantity than on
former occasions. Poinsettias, always an
important item in plants, were not plen-
tiful ; these were offered in the red, pink
and white. The red has always been a
good seller for holiday trade, but this
year at many of the shops the pink was
selling equally as well.

After .Cyclamen, Begonias and Poin-
settias there was little else offered in
plants. There was nothing new, and a
scarcity of the old favorites. Solanum
Cleveland, Hollyben-y, Peppers, Prim-
roses, Ericas and a few Euphorbia Jac-
Ciuinifitlora, comprised nearly everything
that was offered in plants.

The local gruwery were late with many
things usually seen in Christmas plant
collections; whether through cloudy
weather or other causes, was. not
stated. Pots and pans of Scarlet Due
Van Thol, Mons Tresor and Proserpine
Tulips and L'Innocence and Gen de Wet
Hyacinths, which so often have given
charm to the holiday displays, were seen
only in limited quantities and at but a
few places, while they possessed no dis-
tinctive merit.

Holly was scarce ; two days before
Christmas there were only two crates in
the entire city. Cut flowers were too
high in price for window displays, and
had to be religiously cared for In the ice
boxes until time of delivery. All this
scarcity left the window and store decora-
tors entirely at the mercy of the purvey-
ors of preserved and dyed material and
artificial stock for decorative purposes.
It was therefore an "Artificial Christ-
mas ;" there was never so much of this
stock seen or sold in any of the preced-
ing years. The brightness that enlivened
many of the flower shops, was that of the
velvet Poinsettia, frieze roping in fes-
toons, wreaths and bells, Ruscus, Immor-
telles, , red Cape flowers, Christmas rib-
bon and grasses in innumerable shades of
red, bronze and gold. The factories and
warehouses of the supply men supplied
the prime requisites for decorative effect
for the Christmas just passed ; their
goods dominated in many places, the
supply of natural stock in both cut flow-
ers and plants.

It is true that all this stock was profit-
able to the trade ; the purchase price is
nominal and the selling price, after a lit-
tle time a'ud preparation, is good. Cus-
tomers wanting something for, say from
$2 to $5, at the present prices of plants

and cut flowers, could not get much for
that figure. In all such cases the artifi-
cial stock was' forced on the customers,
and accepted on account of the lesser
price. Small baskets in red, filled with
Boxwood and a few sprays of red ber-
ries, Ruscus, a twig or two of Holly with
a little trimming of red ribbon or chiffon,
proved to be wonderful sellers this Christ-
mas to all of limited means who desired
only td spend a few dollars for some
small offering in flowers. These sold any-
where from $1.50 to $5 each, according to
size and were doubtless profitable to re-
tailers.

One well known house was fortunate
to have a supply of Azaleas in fair sized
plants. These ■ came from a private
gardener in New York who stocked up
on these plants before the present quar-
antine became effective, and is now dis-
posing of same at fancy prices. It used
to be that we looked to France, Belgium
and Holland for much of our Christmas
stock. At present, what we have in some
things come from California and the Pa-
cific Coast. Some good plants of Ericas
and Araucarias, direct from the growers
of the Coast, were to be seen in the
Christmas plant displays. One retailer
featured a window entirely Heather ; the
plants trimmed with pink, white and
pale blue ribbon were decidedly effective.

Some miniature pyramids and stand-
ards resembling Bay trees, made of dyed
Lycopodium in small white tubs were a
feature in the artificial stock. Large
branches of Hemlock Spruce, silvered and
gilded, made bright decorative material at
several of the large stores. The . bloom
stalks and seed pods of Nelumbium lu-
teum from local ponds, where suitably
prepared and dyed, make odd and at-
tractive novelties in prepared material.
The leaves of the Nelumbium, or Lotus,
when folded and prepared in cornucopia
fashion, are at present much used. Stores
catering to high class trade featured
baskets filled with Ericas, Araucarias,
Otaheite Oranges, Crotons, Pandanus
Veitchii, Holly and Birds Nest ferns,
trimmed with two toned ribbon ; these
made appropriate offerings for those who
were willing to pay $25 to $35 and up
to $50. In some of the stores, bunches
of Black Hamburg Grapes were attached
to the handles. The trimmings of plants and
baskets were more elaborately done this
season than ever before, while the gen-
eral use of artificial and prepared stock
was a dominant feature in stores and
window displays all over the city.

Summary of Christmas Trade
in Boston

It is not, perhaps, going too far
to say that Christmas was, in several
respects, different from last year and
previous years. Leaving out the
fact that the weather did not in any way
contribute to create the correct seasonable
feeling in the public, there was an over-
shadowing depre^ion, the result of indus-
trial let-up, noticeable among all grades
of prospective buyers. Predictions for a
considerable period past had pointed to
a poor Christmas. Happily, however, we
are glad to state the calamity howlers
did not have it their way. True, buying
started rather late and perfunctory ; the
stores were very careful'about loading up
on cut flowers up to the very last and
this was probably just as well, for the
supply in almost all lines of cut flowers
would never have satisfied an increased

demand. Abstinence from early buying
on the part of the stores naturally held
asking prices in check in the wholesale
markets. While on Thursday evening, a
good deal of stock was visible, it moved
steadily the day before the holiday and
very early on Christmas morning every
flower had been sold with the ex<;eption
of white Lilies, Paperwhites, a number of
lots of ragged Chrysanthemums and
Stevia. The Lilies, of course, do not be-
long to Christmas, the 'Mums were really
a good deal more than "bum" and there
was more Stevia than the other flowers
sold called for. The retail stores did a
good business, although not as big as was
expected. A number of plants were left
on hand on and after Christmas morn-
ing, but this may probably be laid to the
fact that the stores had bought rather
heavily of plants this year and maybe,
too, prices were held on the stiff side
in many instances. But there is prac-
tically only one verdict, it was a very
good Christmas, and much better than
might have been expected under present
circumstances.

Wreaths of all sorts of evergreens sold
well and were evident in the window's of
stores and dwellings about as usual ;
maybe there were a few less of the im-
posing sizes that were prevalent last
year.

Laurel and other roping seems to have
lost much of its popularity while baskets,
balls, etc., of everlastings and artificial
flowers or foliage have gained and have
had large sales everywhere. Wholesale
prices prevailing on Dec. 24 are here
given : /

Koses were of fine quality and the sup-
ply just about right to sell out clean.
American Beauty sold up to $2 apiece
for extra specials. This price was ob-
tained for quite a few, but $1.50 had to
be taken for regular specials. From this
they graded down in regular order. Had-
ley reached $1 for top grade and Crusa-
der, Russell and Scott Key made 75c.,
Hoosier Beauty, 50c. ; Premier, Ophelia,
Columbia and Pilgrim, 25c. to 30c. Other
kinds ranged from 16c. to 20c., and White
Killarney, 16c. Short lengths started at
6c. and reached 12c. for choice sorts or
quality. The Rose men are perfectly
satisfied.

Carnations constituted the uncer-
tain factor of the market. The crop
turned out to be even less than was ei;
pected. No pickled Carnations Were in
evidence and all flowers sold, irrespective
of color. The prices obtained were good
enough, running from 12c. to 15c. for
good and from 10c. to 12c. for lots con-
taining much white. Some straight white
were sold for Sc, while fancy colors and
red went as high as 20c. and a few, even
more. No doubt many more Carnations
could have been sold bad they been avail-
able, but the demand for Carnations did
not really set in until late on Friday.

Mignonette and Snapdragons of good
quality were on band, bringing up to
$2.50 and $3 a doz. ; Sweet Peas from
l%c. to 5c. Violets and Pansies were
very scarce ; they sold at 3c. and 4c.
White Lilies arrived in large supply with-
out finding buyers. The price was held
at 20c. to 25c. Stevia, too, was not in
luck. Supply too great, and pricp
dropped to 40c. a bunch. Paperwhite
Narcissus were almost totally neglected
at 4c. to 5c., and Poinsettias did not
dean up ; the supply was more than
enough. What lots were sold realized
from $4 to $6 a doz. bracts.

Some good lots, not many, of white
Mistletoe and pink Seidewitz Chrysanthe-

Considering present conditions in other
lines of trade, the florist fraternity may
well congratulate itself for what Christ-
mas brought. Business was undoubted-
ly much better than even an optimist had
a right to expect. Now one question :
Considering that the first day of the new
year is almost here, how many of all the
thousands of florists who have plugged
away, day after day for 366 days, can
tell whether the balance sheet shows a
gain or a loss, and how much ofeither?
Of course, each one could easily tell if he
had a balance sheet, but how many are
there who have never seen one in their
whole life? That's where the trouble
comes in. G. Th.

Bassi Freres, Inc., New Rochelle,
N. Y.

We had the pleasure recently of visit-
ing the new flower shop of Bassi Frferes,
278-280 Main st., New Rochelle, N. Y.,
and also the seed store connected there-
.with which, until the erection of the new
shop, was used both as a flower and seed
store. The members of this company,
which has been recently incorporated, are
Charles Bassi, at the head of the land-
scape and nursery departments ; Louis
Bassi, in charge of the florist greenhouse
section, and Austin Bassi, manager of
the seed store.

Bassi Fr§res first engaged in the retail
flower business in New Rochelle about
eleven years ago. For the first three
years their business was confined to the
sale of cut flowers and plants, then, in
answer to an urgent demand from their
customers, they added seeds to their
flower business. Both lines of business
increased steadily and required the car-
rying each year of a larger stock of both
seeds and flowers. Finally the time came
when their quarters would no longer ac-
commodate their large business. There-
fore, they decided to erect a new building,
directly adjacent and connected with the
old, to be used exclusively as a flower
shop, and to use the old store for their
^ed business, also to issue annually a
seed catalogue.

. That plan has been now carried into
effect. The new building has been com-
pleted and the retail flower business has
been transferred entirely to this shop.
This biiilding 15 architecturally beautiful
and built throughout of the finest ma-
terials. It has a depth of about 100ft.. a
frontage of about 40ft., and is 48ft. high.
The facade of the first story is entirely of
plate glass and green granite and is en-
tered from the sidewalk by central double
full glass doors. This front is not only
beautiful in itself, but affords an excel-
lent opportunity for floral displays. This
main floor is entirely devoted to the cut
flower and plant business. The height -
from its substantial terazzo floor to its

beamed and paneled ceiling is 14ft. The
supporting pillars, ceiling, and sides of
this salesroom are finished in white. There
are side mirrors, marble counters, a full
glass front refrigerator for cut flowers,
while, placed at points of vantage, are
large, terra cotta vases and tables in
handsome patterns. The office, occupy-
ing one side of the rear of the store, is
finished in art woodwork and the writing
table and chair for the use of patrons
are of the same material and finish.

In the rear of the store is a beautiful
conservatory 40ft. wide, 50ft. long and
20ft. high. This is of curved eave con-
struction with full glass sides and end,
and has a center ground level bed of con-
crete and raised side benches. There is
a fountain filled with gold fisk at ^ the
center of the end nearest the store. This
conservatory is fully stocked with decora-
tive foliage plants of high quality.

Back of this conservatory there is a
vacant plot of land 57ft. by 100ft. ; here
Bassi Fr&res intend to make an Italian
garden next season.

Beneath the flower shop there is a
basement of concrete which is used for
a storage and workroom and in the end of
which are located the boUers furnishing
the heat for the stores and conservatories.

The second and third stories of the
flower shop' are of cast stone, the facade
of the second receding a little from that
of the first story, and that of the third
receding a little from that of the second.
This gives two ledges on which specimen
Bay trees and evergreens are placed, add-
ing much to the beauty of the front of the
building.

The Seed Store

Directly adjoining this new building
in which the new flower shop is located
is the older building formerly used as
both a flower and seed store. This store,
too, has a full glass front and central
door entrance, and there is also a cen-
tral side opening connecting the flower
and seed store. This store is well
equipped for the conduct of a seed, bulb,
and lawn and garden requisite business.
In its rear is a greenhouse well stocked
at present with ferns, but which is tised
during the Winter for forcing bulbs.

Bassi IFrSres are certainly to be con-
gratulated on their handsome building
and comprehensive equipment for carry-
ing on a retail flower and seed business.

A Quick Wreath Maker

Necessity is the mother of invention,
and it is possible that many retail flo-
rists have devised time-saving methods
for wreath making, although we have not
discovered such ourselves. A year or so
ago, a British retailer introduced a pat-
ented device which he had himself, foujid
an asset because it saved time and labor
and at the same time, gave him the use
of both hands. The fact that this device
is now in regular use gives one to think
that it should prove serviceable to all
florists who make up wreaths and other
floral designs.

The holder is fitted with adjustable
pegs which grip the frame or foundation,
and revolves on a central pin, so that the
worker can twist it around as he pro-
ceeds.

But a few years ago florists' shops,
greenhouse establishments and nurseries
of the importance and magnitude we find
them today, were undreamed of. But
they are with us now, representing big
business and being classed with other
j great "industries.

When we study and analyze the agen-
cies which have been most helpful in
bringing our florist business to its pres-
ent importance we find them much the
same as aie employed in all other lines.
Thewe agencies have been called into
existence through the necessity of doing
mure business in less time, on a wider
radius, and with more accuracy. Fully
employed they mean increased speed,
more customers, better service, less em-
ployees on the payroll — all of which to-
gether, make for better business and in-
creased profit.

The telephone, telegraph, Florists'
Telegraph Delivery, patcel post, automo-
bile and cash register are all indispen-
sable adjuncts' today. We must hat'e
them for speed and convenience and,
with their help, we try to make a profit.
Profit ! That's what the florist is in busi-
ness for, and if he wants to be placed
high in the esteem of his fellows and to
stand 1 n well with his bank, he - will
spare no pains to find out how much is
his profit from day to day, month to
month, year to year. Not "this only ; he
wants positive, concrete facts and rec-
ords of every transaction, so that he may
know how and where improvements for
the better conduct of his business can be
introduced and to -see where he can check
losses. To arrive at this knowledge he
employs some system of bookkeeping, of-
j ten crude, often too intricate. If too
I crude, then it is not reliable ; if too iu-
I tricatf, it wastes a lot of valuable time.
At this stage we may ask why, if the
I florist takes advantage of all other con-
trivances for speed and convenience, does
' he not pay as much attention to the
j just as important, if not more iiujiortai t

The Latest in Labor-Saving Devices

{Continued from page VII)

subject of keeping his aOfOUiiLs with the
help of impLt>vcd, uptodatc mechanical
devices?

The reply is that no such device, prop.-
orly oonytructed to take care of a flo-
rist's needs has existed until recently.

Henry Penn of Boston, keenly awake
in business matters, and whose enter-
prise is well known and appreciated in
tiie floral industry, has recently installed
a mechanical register built for him ex-
pressly by the National Cash Register
Co. according to his suggestions. This
machine meets all the many particular
demands of a florist's daily' transactions
and classifies his records automatically,
so that their transference to the books
is accomplished in the shortest possible
time. It is at once a cash register, pre-
venting errors, that can be made the
basis of an accounting system exceed-
ingly expeditious, simple and accux'ate.
The totals of~a day's transactions in any
and all of the departments are automati-
cally added after each operation, ready
for inspection at any moment.

This new machine is the latest develop-
ment for the registering of sales, adding
totals, and recording detailed accounts in
the business of the florist, greeniiouse
grower or nurserynjan. It is furnished
with keys which register separately and
add up automatically the different items
of any transaction ; in this special in-
stance it registers for weddings, floral
designs, plants, cut flowers, cash received
or cash paid out, charges, C. 0. D. out,
0. O. D. in, received on account and
other items. It is also provided with keys
designating the salesman or the designer
handling any sale or executing any or-
der. Under different keys the separate
items of the expense account, such as
motor, incidentals, wages, delivery, etc.,
are registered and added up ready for
booking at a moment's notice.

When making a sale or paying out
money the machine prints a duplicate
sales or receipt slip, containing amount,
date, consecutive number and the desig-
nation for the salesman or the designer,
thereby guarding against all disputes
from either party to «. transaction. The
totals of each column are continuously
added up and in' plain view, and the
bookkeeper can enter these in an appro-
priately ruled ledger in the shortest space
of time.

So there is here, now, a device which
reduces time and labor to a minimum,
both in registering and accounting. It
can be adjusted to any special need or
system by the arrangement of the key
symbols. It prints and registers sales
slips, charge slips, receipt slips, received
on account slips in duplicate, etc.. all
this while doing the general adding of
totals in the respective columns. The
machine is electrically operated.

Exactness, correctness, speed and ease
of operation are combined in this ma-
chine, making it just as indispensable
and important a factor in the running
of the florist business as are the tele-
graph, telephone, automobile and other
modern helps. At the same time, with
the assistance of this machine, the flo--^
rist can, through the most simple system
of bookkeeping, put his finger on any
detail or total of any department of his
business. He is given the means whereby
he can detect leaks, irregularities and
errors and be can fix the blame.

If there is one thing in which the aver-
age florist, grower and nurseryman is
not up to the times it is to be noted in
keeping separately the different depart-
ments of his business in a precise, intel-
ligent and readily get-at-able manner.
Only upon the datas furnished by a sys-
tematical registration, which at the same
time is absolutely correct, and which in-
cludes every item of every transaction in
every department; can he arrive at the
needed information which will tell him
whether he is going forward or back-
ward— whether he is making a profit or
not.

A sale is not a sale unless it shows a
profit, neither is a florist business a busi-
ness unless it, too, shows a profit. The

'Say it With Flowers"— Not Always'

T^ie Christian World labors hard to
demonstrate that there are times when
flowers cannot be used. "Flowers are a
joy in the sick room," we are told, "but
there is one place in the hospital where
flowers are not tolerated — in the surgery,"
"Some essential portions of the Gospel
cannot be said with flowers. The cross
had best not be garlanded — 'not with en-
ticing words,' a flowery preacher? Every
preacher should be that at times. If he
speaks the truth truthfully, he will say
it sometimes with flowers and at other
times without." .

As we read it, the article under notice
renders good service by showing how dif-
ficult it is to prove that the florists* slo-
gan is not suitable on all occasions.

There are honest men, and women, too,
among us. A prominent florist of Bos-
ton recently received the following let-
ter: "I bought two Bose buds at your
store last evening and found when I ar^
rived at my station I was holding in my
hand the 50c. I had taken out of my purse
to pay for the Roses. Later in the even-
ing when I returned I found your store
closed so I am returning my cheque for
them. I am sorry I was so careless." •
* ♦ The funny part of it is that the
correct amount had been paid at the time
of the purchase.

Let's turn over a new leaf.

Let's turn it over to stay turned.

Let's make it read different than last year's.

Let's start with the word "happy."

Let's end with the word "smile."

Let's write on the second line that we can-
not have smiles in our voice if we don't put
smiles on our face.

Let's write on the third line the word "scat."
Scat to dull care when it comes meowing
around. Meows never yet caught a mouse.

Let's stop wishing we were the other fellow,
for he most likely is wishing he were us.

Let's wish each other a Happy New Year.

Let's wish it, because we honestly wish to
wish it.

Christmas Trade

Christmas business ended with a
great rush. While there was consider-
able business done early in the week,
many of the florists were disappointed
at the volume. "The removal of the lux-
ury tax on other lines, however, greatly
stimulated business generally and the flor-
ists as well as the others reaped the
benefit. It was quite apparent tliat peo-
ple, did' not do their shoppiiig early this,
year.

iiiiiiiiniiiBiiiiinnniiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiBiiliiliiilliiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiin^

The great rush of Thursday and Friday
cleared out all the available cut stocl£,
and practically all of .the plants. In most
of the stores, no orders were accepted for
delivery after noon on Friday. As it
was, a great army of extra trucks and
delivery boys on wheels were required to
deliver the floral gifts in time for Christ-
mas. The snow Friday night filled all
with the spirit of Christmas, but it made
delivery slower and the boys who at- ■
tended to nearby deliveries, had to lay
up their wheels.

"All's well that ends well," said one
florist. Certainly the appearance of the
crowds in the flower stores on Friday was
abundant evidence that the florists of
Toronto were "cashing in" on the big last
rush of the shoppers.

Silas A. McFadden, president of the
Toronto Retail Florist Club, stated that
business on the whole was good.

Tidy & Son had many advance orders
and did a big business in madeup bas-
kets.

Simmons & Son had a beautiful dis-
play of madeup baskets and plants in
which they did a big business.

J. A. Neal has a fine new Chevrolet
truck. The driver's seat is completely
enclosed. The body is black relieved with
his name and "Artistic Floral Arrange-
ments" in gold letters. He did a big
sale with the better class plants and in

Many of the big department stores througji-
out the country who specialize in flowers sell
to a large and increasing trade because they
advertise flowers continuously.

The Knickerbocker Ice Co., is using "Say it
with Flowers" to help sell more ice. (See The ,
Exchange, issue of Dec. 25).

In the Dry Goods trade papers corsage
bouquets are being advertised as a necessary-
feature of fashionable displays.

YOU CAN DO IT

Every wide-awake retailer is reaching out
for more of the profitable flower trade.

Unless you as a florist go after more of the

are going after it, you will wake up too late

Simpson will give an address on the Bo-
tanical Garden Scheme. It will be an

Real Progress

It was a most interesting and encouraging report that
the Joint Committee on Vegetable Nomenclature from
the American Seed Trade Association and the Vegetable
Growers Association of America submitted early this
Winter and that The Exchange published in its issue
of Nov. 20.

And now the expectations aroused by that report are
largely realized and new hopes for big accomplishments
are awakened by the supplementary announcement of
the same committee, reproduced on another page this
week. As we see it, the make-up of the sub-committees
to deal with the different vegetables is excellent, and the
program outlined for their consideration is so clear and
comprehensive that we can repeat with assurance the
old proverb about a thing being "Well begun is half
done."

Of course the problem of weeding out superfluous
names and varieties will be a tedious and difficult one;
but attacked with the energy, sincerity and defifie pur-
pose evinced by Mr. Stokes and his committeemen we
full\' believe that it will succumb to the assault and be
completely solved with benefit to every interest and
every individual concerned.

We like the attitude of the committee in preferring to
hold back any variety list until definite, accurate infor-
mation is available ; and we congratulate the seed trade
upon its apparent readiness to cooperate with the move-
ment as evinced by the reduced number of "introduc-
tions" in the 1921 catalogs, of which Mr. Stokes makes
mention.

Boston Gardeners and Florists' Club

The Gardeners and Florists Club held its monthh-
meeting and its election of officers at Horticultural Hall,
Dec. 31. In spite of the nearness of the holidays, when
preparations are apt to keep members busy at home, the
hall was well filled when President Hermann Bartsch
opened the proceedings.

An invitation to have the club participate in the Agri-
cultural Union Meeting which is to take place at Horti-
cultural Hall during the week of Feb. 7, 1921, was favor-
ably acted upon and the following committee will see
that the club is properly represented and that suitable
exhibits are prepared and displayed : Andrew K. Rog-
ers. Harold A. Ryan, Walter H. Golby, Patrick W.
Burke, Victor Heurlin. It was also announced that the
management of the Agricultural Union Meeting have
decided to hold the future Winter meetings in the city
of Boston while, for the Spring, Summer and Fall meet-
ings, Springfield and Worcester have been selected.
Otto Thilow of Philadelphia will give a lecture, illus-
trated by lantern slides, on Feb. 8; the subject will be
his recent trip to Samoa and Australia. Mr. Thilow's
reputation as an interesting and captivating lecturer
needs no encomium. It may be mentioned that the im-
pressions gained during the above mentioned trip have
never before been given to the public of Boston.

Robert Cameron is to be the speaker of the evening
at the club's March meeting when he will talk on, "An-
nuals, Their Use and Treatment."

The question of whether to hold an entertainment
at the club's headquarters or elsewhere was decided by
unanimous vote to hold a banquet, dance and ladies
night, early in January next, in Horticultural Hall, and
to make the installation of the new officers a part of the
program. The committee in charge will decide upon
the date, which is to be announced shortly.

The only exhibit of the evening was by W. W. Edgar
Co.

After the close of the routine business, ballots were
:ast for the officers for the ensuing year and the elec-
:ion resulted as follows : President, William H. Judd ;
,/ice-president, Harold A. Ryan; secretary, William N.
Craig; treasurer, James Methyen. Executive Com-
mittee : Patrick W. Burke, John L. Russell, George W.
Hamer, Andrew K. Rogers, Walter H. Golby.

William H. Elliott of Brighton was next introduced,
Dy President Bartsch, as the speaker of the evening. Mr.
Elliott's talk was of his trip to the "High Sierras" which
le undertook in company with 2.50 other mountain
ihmbers under the auspices of the Aero Club of San
"rancisco. Mr. Elliott has a happy way of presenting
-onsecutive happenings during tire 30 days outing in
uch charming and gripping manner, that the listener

just lives the events over with him. Probably it is mucii
easier to do it in a warm hall than doing it in pcrsomi
i'( iHitiui:. The party left on their arduous and perilous
journey July 3 from Fresno, Calif., 2.')l) strong and with
a train of 150 animals, mostly mules and burros. Some
60 or 70 of these interesting beasts were delegated daily
to carrying the dunnage bags ; said dunnage bags form-
ing an important part of the expedition. From four to
six constituted an animal's load, and judging by the
lantern slides, taken under all circumstances, it looked
as if the poor mules got about all that was coming to
them. Among the tourist party and. forming in every
respect an outstanding part of it, were lao of the
gentler sex. But, you ask Mr. Elliott, and he will tell
you that there was not one woman in the party who was
not equal and often superior to any man when it came
to putting up with the hardships of march or camp.
To spend thirty days in succession without a bed, except
such as is provided for in camp, without a chair or any-
thing else and do it all in overalls (not a skirt to be
seen in the party) takes courage. To climb day after
day, thousands and thousands of feet, over ungainly
rocks, eternal snow and ice, often to a height of 14.000ft.,
is no fun. There were ladies representing ages from
18 to 70 years. One, a high school girl, would lighten
the load of irien who could go on no more with it; she
would carry it beside her own and in camp, just for the
fun of it, would load or unload the pack animals like
a seasoned muleteer. Another, a botanist of wide repu-
tation, 64 years old, would travel miles out of the way
to find and collect her specimens and, no matter how
heavy the load, she would bring it to camp and take
care of it. On July 18 the party passed a frozen lake in
a fierce snowstorm and traveled over snow 30ft. to 40ft.
deep, at a height of o\er 9000ft. Mr. Elliott was not
afraid to own up that, compared with the ladies, he had
to consider himself as one of the tenderfoot class.
Eighteen miles was the minimum of travel a day, and
camp was made in the most unlikely places, but with
the help of four great cook stoves, which went along
on muleback, camping out and sleeping in the open was
a great delight. Four-thirty in the morning was get-up
time, then breakfast and hike, up and up and down and
down, everlastingly. Mr. Elliott started his mountain
trip with 204 pounds, but the scales showed only 165 on
his return. He does not recommend an affair like this
for putting on beef.

His stories of travail intermixed with bits of fun and
frolic are all illustrated with fine lantern slides, taken on
■ the way and which show the unapproachable glory of
mountain scenery in the High Sierras. "The speaker
recommended the trip in glowing terms, especially com-
menting upon the fine service rendered by the company
taking care of the undertaking.

A rousing vote of thanks was accorded the speaker at

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

In answer to your .query, "How long should Carna-
tions last after being cut?", a little experience with
'Mums may be of interest. On Nov. 20 I purchased a
dozen large 'Mums from a neighbor florist, and gave six
to my wife and six to my mother. My wife gave three
to my mother-in-law and in watching the keeping quali-
ties of the flowers I had the following results : "Three
blooms in a steam-heated gas lighted apartment lasted
four days, three in dining room with coal stove and
kerosene light lasted 35 days, the remaining six in a
cool sitting room without fire, and kerosene light, are
still in Al condition and good for at least another three
weeks, say about 55 days. It depends upon who buys
the flowers and the after treatment.

Ferdinand H. Teute

After a serious illness lasting three years, the death
of Ferdinand H. Teute occurred on Monday, Dec. 27,
at his residence, 12 Hoeltzer st., Rochester, N. Y. He
is survived by his wife and four children.

Mr. Teute was born in Saxony, Germany, and, before
coming to America, was engaged in the florist business
in Nidda, Oberessen, Germany. He came to Rochester
with his family in 1890 and was, for a time, employed
by Bausch & Lomb. Since then he has been engaged
in the florist business. He was a German of the old
school and was a member of all the prominent German
societies and the Rochester Florists Association. His
two sons, Richard and Hugo, are both engaged in the
florist's business in Rochester.

The funeral took place at Mount Hope Cemetery on
Thursday, Dec. 30. H. B. S.

Spencer U. Pickering

From the English papers we learn of the death on
Dec. 5 of Spencer U. Pickering, for the past ;>0 years
or more, director of the Woburn Fruit and Experi-
mental Station, England, which was instituted by the
Duke of Bedford.

Mr. Pickering, who was born in 1858, was, until ill
health compelled him to seek an open air life, a chemist
and scientific investigator of considerable distinction
His scientific knowledge enabled him to efl^ect many
improvements in fungicides and insecticides, while he
made many important discoveries relating to fruit cul-
ture, details of which from time to time were published
in the Woburn Reports.

Much of this matter was ultimately connected up and
issued in book form, under the title, Science and Fruit
Growing.

Augustus Peabody Calder

It is our sad duty to report the sudden passing away
of Augustus Peabody Calder of Brookline, Mass

rhis announcement will touch with sadness the heart
of hundreds, yes thousands, of acquaintances and life-
long friends of the deceased. Mr. Calder was over 83
years of age, but he enjoyed unusually robust health
up to two days before his death; even up to the last
minute he was in full possession of his mental powers
On Monday, Dec. 20, Mr. Calder visited the flower mar-
ket in the best of spirits, passing friendly remarks with
everyone as usual. Next day he was stricken with an
acute pneumonia which unfortunately ended fatally two
days later, thus terminating an unusually long and re-
markably useful career.

With Mr. Calder has passed away one of our oldest
pioneers and staunchest friends of Boston horticulture
His was the privilege to see the start and eventually
rapid progress of his beloved occupation of flower
growing. Not only did he see the flower business de-
velop from almost the very beginning, but by his own
ettorts and timely intuitions, he was able to help the
industry gam a solid footing and to foster its growth
Mr Calder was a florist from first to last ; he lived with
and for flowers and thought of them in his last mo-
ments.

. He was born in the year 1837 on his father's farm
in Roxbury, Mass., where he also completed his school-
ing and then, with his brother Charles, employed his
time and energy m farming at the home place Small
attempts at flower growing resulted successfully and
over fifty years since, the florist business was estab-
lished and continued up to a few years ago. In his first
store, at the corner of Boylston and Tremont st , Bos-
ton, where the Hotel Touraine stands today, he intro-
duced the first pond Lilies and controlled their sale for
many years. These Lilies were brought over to this
country by the Chipmann Brothers of Sandwich, Mass
and exclusively grown by them. Mr. Calder also was
the first to introduce the Lady Hume Campbell Violet
in Boston and to grow and sell the Roman Anemone
and Ranunculus. Both of these were procured from
Emily Sfallinger from the Campagna, near Rome. The
first shower bouquet and the use of red Roses with a
bunch of Violets are also credited to Mr. Calder's ad-
vanced ideas at that faraway time. Mr. Calder was
an earnest worker in and enthusiastic supporter of all
things connected with horticulture and his expert coun-
sel and advice was always sought and gladly accepted
in the many clubs and societies of which he was an
energetic member and co-worker.

He was a charter and life member of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society, and president of the Gar-
deners and Florists Club of Boston, in 1890, to which
organization he felt particularly drawn and in which he
was a never failing attendant at every meeting. He was
also a member of the S. A. F. since its inception. Fui'-
ther, Mr_ Calder belonged to Roxbury Council Jos.
vyarren Lo., K. P. of which he was assistant prelate;
also the -Washington Lodge. A. F. A. M. and he at-
tained the highest degree in the Grand Council of U. O
of Red Men. Mr. Calder served in the Civil War and
was the oldest living captain of the Roxbury Horse
Guards. He was president of the Roxbury Military
Historical Society and past president of Washington
Schoolboys of Roxbury.

Some seven or more years ago Mr. Calder lost his
wife. Etta Upton, and his brother Charles with whom
he had long been associated in business, and who had
also for many years conducted greenhouses at Norwood
These greenhouses are now owned by Herbert Calder a
grandson. Mr. Calder leaves to mourn his loss, three
daughters : Mrs. H. J. Clark of 1537 Beacon St., Brook-
line, at whose home he died ; Mrs. Maud Calder Will-
iams; Mrs. Wra. Ellsworth Kelley, and two sons- Au-
gustus Peabody and Nathaniel Harris Calder. There
are also four grandchildren.

The funeral services were held at Roxbury Universal
Church, Buena Vista st., Sunday, Dec. 26.

The Florists' Exchange

The Florists' Exchange in 1920

Receiving many expressions of good will and thanks
throughout the year from readers for services rendered
them through the publication in our columns of just
the information suited to their needs, perhaps we may
be pardoned for giN'ing herewith a slight review of some
of the more important features appearing in the two
volumes constituting our 1920 output. The mere re-
cital of the titles may not be impressive nor specially
attractive, but it is not possible to summarize the con-
tents of these various articles in the limit of space at
our command. ,

Readers who have retained their copies of The Ex-
change through the past year will, however, have their
memories refreshed, and the list given will guide them
to subjects they may wish to review and as well tell
them just where they may be found. Another reason
for giving this brief resume of subjects is because of
the fact that we have not issued an exhaustive index
these past years on account of the great expense at-
tached to same and because we found it was not availed
of to the extent it merited.

FOR THE GROWER

As is known to all our subscribers, we have several
regular feature or departmental pages — a combination
of all of these covering the wants each week of our
diversified classes of readers. Of these various feature
pages, probably the contents of none is so highly appre-
ciated by the small florist-grower — some of the big ones,
too — than "The Week's Work" by Fritz Bahr. Every
week in the year this calendar of operations serves as a
useful reminder to the grower who handles the many
lines called for by local trade. Fritz Bahr is just as
much interested in your success as he is in his own —
and he writes that way. We do not enumerate his
topics, but simply note that he_ effectually covers the
cultural requirements of all florists' stocks.

In addition, the grower is provided with numerous,
useful and original notes on plants and other matters
that affect his line. The list we give by no means ex-
hausts the series we print throughout the year, but it
serves to demonstrate the variety of subjects which ap-
peared in our columns throughout 1920.

FOR THE NURSERYMAN

The class of stock handled by nurserymen calls for
a great knowledge of hardy plants and a wdde interest
in outside afl^airs in making provision for the wants and
whims of the people at large, from the tenants and the
householder to those of our largest parks. Our nurserj'
pages certainly provide a varied and interesting fare
in the endeavor to cover, so far as is humanly pos-
sible, the wants of these widely separated classes, all
of whom, however, are united in the one common bond
of interest in trees and shrubs. The following is a
digest of some of the main features covered during

The Reindeers

An Important Part of Santa Claus's Outfit

Do you believe in Santa Claus?

Yes, dear, indeed I do;
I am sure he through our street did pass —

The sound I truly knew
By clatter of the reindeer hoofs
As past our door they shot.
The panting creatures are best of proof

That sleighing is great sport.
They had but barely passed our door

WTien my eyes upon them fell.
There sure were two — yes, maybe more.

But their names I will not tell,
So I believe in Santa Claus;

I do mth all my heart.
The reindeer which his chariot draws
Play an important part.

people running away — after having deposited a packa

Something Cheap. — Nothing is cheap nowadays, isj
general opinion but, judging by the newspapers, filler
they are with politics. poUce criticisms.building graft, mu
and robbery, talk is aa cheap as ever it was.

Report of Vegetable Nomenclature Committee

Some time ago, a report was made and puhlished in
these columns of tlie work under way by the Joint Com-
mittee on Vegetable Nomenclature from the American
Seed Trade Association and the Vegetable Growers As-
sociation of Aitierica. As a part of the program, a de-
tailed study of the various vegetable varieties was to
be made by men best qualified to judge from their close
experience with these particular crops.

Twenty-one committees were appointed, and we be-
lieve that in order that those interested in this work
may judge the importance and the value that will be
forthcoming, it will be well to announce the personnel
engaged upon it.

The following men were appointed by the central
committee, and have signified their willingness to under-
take the work. At the time of writing many commit-
tees have already made preliminary reports, and con-
siderable data is in hand, which indicates very real prog-
ress. The first name under each sub-committee given
is chairman thereof.

Through an error in our former report, Dr. Will W.
Tracy's name was mentioned as a guest. In reality, he
was officially appointed on the Vegetable Growers'
branch of the committee by President E. A. Dunbar,
and. at the time of the last Washington meeting, was
made member ex-officio of all of the sub-committees
mentioned ; this appointment being made in view of his
vast knowledge of American varieties of vegetables. It
is a matter of great satisfaction that Dr. Tracy's health
is so greatly improved.

The plan of work for these committees has been as follows:

1. To assemble all the variety names for the kinds in question.

2. To group the names which are used for the same kind or kinds so
nearly identical that they cannot be recognized as different.

3. To recommend the name for the group which best characterizes
the variety which represents the group and is most universally known.

4. To designate the best ways and means of elimination of dupUcate
names and elimination of unimportant varieties.

It is hoped that out of the recommendations of these
conunittees can come suggestions for a working plan
which will make it possible to so standardize and desig-
nate standard types that both the seedsman and the com-
mercial grower will have in mind the same type for the
same variety, at least over a large section of the country.
More important than this, such procedure would make
it possible for plant breeders to more clearly see the
problem for improvement and eliminate a tremendous
amount of wasted time in attempting to develop types
that are already in existence but not known.

The study that has already been given to this question
has made it clear that many field trials must be under-
taken in the Summer of 1931 to determine whether cer-
tain so-called varieties are really different, one from
the other. Already, several of the leading seed firms of
the United States have volunteered to carry on complete
trials of certain vegetables during the coming season
For the purpose of perfecting plans for special 1921
trials to clear up matters of uncertainty regarding old
vegetable types and also for the purpose of perfecting
arrangernents for the registration of new varieties as
offered, It is expected that a second meeting of this com-
mittee will be held the third or fourth week in Febru-
ary, the place and exact time to be announced later.

It has been definitely decided not to submit a list of
vegetable varieties for publication in the first edition
of •'>e variety Catalog which is being issued by the

American Joint Committee on Horticultural Nomen-
clature, of which J. Horace McFarland is chairman and
Harlan P. Kelsey is secretary. Our committee has
reached this decision at the urgent insistence of our sub-
committee chairmen who feel that, at best, their reports,
if finally submitted at this time, would have inaccura-
cies and a lack of completeness which will be avoided
after this Summer's trials have been completed. It is
hoped that a full and complete report may be submitted
for publication in the second edition which will, no
doubt, be issued about six months after the first.

It has been a great satisfaction to our committee to
note that in the 1921 seed catalogs so far received, there
is a vast decrease in the number of new "introductions."
This undoubtedly indicates that a different attitude is
being taken — a change which can only work for better
conditions in the seed trade.

The American Rose Society

A meeting of the executive committee of the Ameri-
can Rose Society was held in Washington, D. C, on
Nov. 29, 1930.

President Pyle occupied the chair — the members pres-
ent were Messrs. McFarland, Roland, Boyd, Peterson,
Currey, Atkins, Pennock and Wister. Invited guests
were Messrs. Gersdorff and Gude of Washington and
Profs. Corbett and Mulford, of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Professor White, who was
unable to be present, sent a letter to the committee
thanking them for their kindness to him during his
term as secretary.

The new secretary, John C. Wister, was introduced
by President Pyle and gave a report of the opening of
the new secretary's office in the office of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society, 606 Finance Building,
Philadelphia. It is to be hoped that the members of
the Amerian Rose Society and of the florist trade will
drop in at this new office when they are in Philadelphia,
which has been made possible through the courtesy of
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society.

Mr. Currey, of Portland, Ore., who was present at
the meeting, presented some beautiful pictures of Roses
grown in Portland, and showed plans of the new test
gardens. Mr. Pennock urged that an attempt be made
to have the American Rose Society visit the Portland
Rose Festival as a body, and he and Mr. Currey were
appointed a committee to arrange for a private excur-
sion train for the members of the American Rose So-
ciety and their friends, to visit' Portland in June 1921.
Mr. Currey promised that the hospitality of Portland
would be extended to all who took this trip and that a
special Rose program would be arranged for. He be-
lieved that a trip of this kind by the Rose Society would
prove a great boom to the society in the way of bring-
ing in new members.

The question of affiliation with local horticultural or-
ganizations came up once more, and the following ar-
rangement was made, that in 1921 no reduced rate of
membership would be accepted from affiliated members,
but that it be urged upon local societies to join the so-
ciety in a group, and in order to encourage them to do
this, the American Rose Society would for every group
of 10 to 50 members, return the sum of 50c. per mem-
ber to the local organization to be used for the purpose
of encouraging Rose growing in the community ; that
for every group of 50 to 100 members seventy-five
cents per member should be paid back to the organiza-
tion and for every group over one hundred $1 per
member. It was hoped that by this scheme, many small
organizations throughout the country would be encour-
aged to join the Rose society.

Professor Corbett brought up the subject of the Dis-
semination by the American Rose Society of the Dr.
Van Fleet Roses. As previously reported, the Depart-
ment of Agriculture is anxious that these Roses be
disseminated as quickly and as widely as possible, but
under present conditions, the Department cannot itself
do this, nor can it sell its Roses direct to nurserymen
who would propagate them. The matter of enlisting
the aid of the American Rose Society was brought up
some time ago. and at this meeting it was officially dis-
cussed from all its angles, and was finally turned over
to a committee with power to act. All Rose growers
will look forward with great interest to what can be
done, for the name Van Fleet attached to a Rose at once
guarantees its value.

The matter of the incorporation of the American
Rose Society was again discussed and it was decided
that it would be best for the interest of the society to
incorporate it as soon as possible.

An invitation from the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society to cooperate in the Rose Show to be held in
Boston in April 1921, was read and referred to a special
committee for definite action. In this connection, two
gold medals have already been ofifered by members of
the trade, in the name of the American Rose Society,
and it is to be hoped that other medals will be forth-
coming shortly.

The present membership of the Society is reported as
over 3500, and it is to be hoped the advance in mem-
bership dues from $3 to $3 will not materially affect this
membership ; indeed we hope for a large increase in
1921, for its popularity is growing with tremendous
leaps and bounds.

The demand for back copies of the Rose Annuals
continues great and the supply has become so dimin-
ished that the price has been advanced to $3 a copy for
the 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920 Annuals and $5 a copy for
the 1916 edition. On account of this limited quantity
all persons not now members who desire them should
apply at once. The 1921 Annual will be published in
March, and an edition of three thousand has been
authorized. John C. Wister, Sec'y.

Nursery Department

(Concluded from page 23)
the sake of profiteering, I feel sure would be endorsed
by our Government. It is in line with the best practice
in many other industries which have had to contend
with similar conditions, and it would thus make our
industry thoroughly respected and put it on a firm busi-
ness basis.

Until I was assigned this subject, I was not aware
that it had been even suggested that the certifying of
nursery stock should be done by a State organization.
I cannot think of any argument in favor of a State or-
ganization undertaking this service and there are many
obvious reasons why it could not handle this service as
well as a national organization. The object desired is /
to enforce square dealing and to assure to the public ^
that it will receive a square deal. In other words, we
wish to reinstate all nurserymen into the good opinion
of the public; and it is no advantage to us to have
all Illinois nurserymen on the square if crooks from
other States come in and, through bad practices, bring
discredit upon the industry. We wish to accomplish
a nationwide reform and in order to do so it must be
done by a national association.

Fight Mice Among Fruit Trees Now

Anyone who recalls the damage done by mice — and
partly perhaps, by rabbits — ^to young fruit trees during
the Winter of 1919-20, will be interested in the sugges-
tion made by the New York State College of Agricul-
ture that now, in Midwinter, is the time to combat such
pests and prevent a repetition of the injury. In the
past the chief reliance has been placed in preventive
cleanup methods in the Fall, and in bridge grafting
and other curative measures to be pursued in the Spring
after the damage has been done. "The Cornell method —
on the contrary, contemplates carrying an active war-
fare into the enemy's country while that enemy is at
work and thereby preventing further damage by dis-
posing of the culprit.

The plan is simply the use of poisoned bait. A stand-
ard formula is : one ounce powdered strychnine (alka-
loid), one ounce powdered bicarbonate of soda, and
one-eighth ounce or less of saccharin, thoroughly mixed
and then sifted with a pepperbox over 50 pounds of
crushed wheat, or 40 pounds of crushed oats, or 30
pounds of oatmeal, the grain to be constantly stirred
in a metal vessel meanwhile, so that the poison will be
uniformly distributed through it.

In view of the dangerous nature of such material and
its possible effects on poultry, pets and desirable bird
neighbors, it is recommended that portions of the bait
be placed in old tin cans of which the covers are partly
pushed to. These cans should then be placed under
boards, in brush piles or at the base of trees through-
out the orchard, nursery or wherever tree injury may
be anticipated.

Such containers will not only keep the poison out
of reach of animals that it is pot meant for, but also
provide attractive haunts and shelters for the maraud-
ing mice, which once lured inside will soon devour the
bait and suffer the inevitable consequences.

Of course, as in fighting cutw^orms, borers or any
other pest, no one method will prove all sufficient in
preventing Winter injury to trees by rodents. However,
the method outlined above is well worth being included
as one of the ways of saving our fruit and ornamental
stocks from unnecessary injury.

Ornamental Nursery Progress in the Far West

There is manifest considerable activity in California
looking forward to some of the stocks hitherto imported.
The consideration of this matter was a live topic at the
recent convention of the California Ass'n of Nursery-
men. From all accounts capital Is finding its way In the
exploitation of horticulture along commercial lines, not
only in that State but as well In Oregon and Washington.
The late C. W. Ward may have hit the Idea too soon with
his extensive nurseries at Eureka, Calif.; possibly, too,
he may have made grave mistakes in going Into business
too heavily In advance of the demand at that time. But
the germ Is In the air and the bacteria of possible profits
is a likely resultant.

Death of Jeseph Meehan

(Concluded from page 7)
in turn was planted and germinated in tlie nursery under
iiis direction.

As a writer on nursery subjects he had no equal. The
best nurserymen and gardeners are almost invariably,
either not fitted or not inclined to write, and many
writers are more skilled with the pen than in the prac-
tice of their subject; "Uncle" Joe embodied a happy
combination of both of these types; practical first, a
writer second.

For the past six years Mr. Meehan has been confined
to his home, gradually failing in hearing and eyesight,
but through the patient ministrations of his loving and
faithful daughter, his life was made pleasant to the end.
Stanley V. Wilcox, one of the old office boys of whom
"Uncle" Joe was fond, and who has since entered the
ministry, conducted the funeral services.^ Stanley is
another of those who will never forget "Uncle" Joe's
friendship and his final words over his body embodied
a touching tribute. I hope it may reach the ears of
some of those who have forgotten to cheer "Uncle"
Joe in his declining years.

Ah, the desolation of reaching four score years with
sight and hearing gone, and how consoling to be re-
membered by those whom you helped and befriended,
but how sad to think that even one would forget that
friendship. But times, though bringing changes, are yet
the same in human nature today as of yore, for we
read in the Scriptures "were there not ten healed ; where
are the other nine?"

Farewell, "Uncle" Joe, you have fought a good fight
and your helpful deeds, your kindnesses, will always be
remembered. And to you, Emily, and your husband,
whose faithful and loving attention never faltered to
the end, and to your brothers, Rothwell and Charles, let
me express my sympathy. Well may you be proud of
the record of your dear old dad.

Samuel Newman Baxter.

Philadelphia, Dec. 25, 1930.

To the Editor of The Florists' Exchange:

With the wane of the old year went out a life which,
as it related to the profession of horticulture, was of
inestimable value.

In the death of Joseph Meehan we have lost one of
those peculiarly useful men who, as they gather knowl-
edge, immediately impart it to others. For several years
it was the writer's privilege to be closely associated with
Mr. Meehan and, like a standard work on our book-
shelf, one could immediately turn to him for informa-
tion on any question pertaining to trees and plants. In
fact so much faith did we have in his intimate knowl-
edge of hardy plants that it was quite a proverbial
thought in our mind to say, "When in doubt consult
Uncle Joe," as he was affectionately called by us of a
younger generation.

As it is only by continued and intimate association
with a person, that we are able to test friendships and
discover their inherent traits, so personal contact with
Mr. Meehan revealed many sterling qualities of char-
acter which all must admire. Even to the point of se-
verity, he had a keen sense of justice, and not in one
iota could he be swerved from any principle which in
his heart he knew to be right.

Is it not somewhat fitting that Mr. Meehan's life
should go out in the last days of the old year for, like
the year, he had reached his December and had well
completed his cycle ; after a life full of useful work he
has gone to rest and sleeps in the bosom of Mother
Earth which in his life he loved so well.

Edwin Matthews.

The Christmas Closing Hour

Noon closing the day before Christmas was quite
common among the New York City retail seed houses
this year, except, of course, those which made a special
feature of Christmas greens. It is not to be expected
or denied that florists should follow this lead ; indeed
the twenty-four hours ending with going-to-church time
on Christmas morning are among the busiest of the
entire year. But after that, say from twelve o'clock on,
it is doubtful whether the average shop does enough
counter trade to justify keeping open. Assuming that
the delivery schedule has worked out well, that the cut
flower purchases have been adequate without being ex-
cessive, and that in consequence there is very little left
on hand by Christmas noon, why shouldn't every florist
try to close down then and give all hands a chance to
enjoy a bit of the real holiday festivities, at home with
the kiddies? It is by no means impossible; a number
of the New York shops do it now and don't regret it:
how about it. as the basis of a resolution for 1921?

Chicago Wholesale Flower Market

Under the caption "Say it with Flowers" '*The
Express Gazette" publishes the following inter-
esting article written by its Chicago representa-
tive, W. N. Crosby. It is made clear that the
development of the cut flower industry of
Chicago has been materially assisted by the
express companies

One Hope heft. — Stage-struck maiden (after trying her voice)
■*Do you think I can ever do anything with my voice?" Stage
Manager: "Well, it may come in handy in case of fire." —
Sydney Bulletin. — P.

If you stand on the corner of Wabash ave. and Ran-
dolph St. in Chicago and look north, you will little real-
ize, unless you are told, that between Randolph and
Lake st., the first street north, there are stored in the
buildings on either sides of the street, packed away in
ice boxes as large as ordinary living rooms, the means
of expressing the joy and sorrows of the millions of
people living within one thousand miles of this, the
second largest city in the United States.

For here is located the largest cut flower market in
the world. In the basements and on the first and second
floors, men are working all day, and sometimes all night
also, sorting, grading, packing and shipping these mes-
sengers of love and sorrow, sending them North, South,
East and West, later to carry their silent but eloquent
message to both rich and poor. What surer message
of happiness can be sent to the bride than the bridal
bouquet furnished by the groom, what sweeter message
to the new born baby, than the flowers sent to the young
mother, and what better way to express our condolence
to the sorrowing relatives of the dead than by sending
a floral message to lay beside our departed friend or
relative? How this is appreciated we can tell by our
own experience in these matters.

Yet it is not many years ago that it was only possible
to secure cut flowers for any of these occasions from
the local nurseryman, who only raised a limited stock,
and each flower had its own season. Now it is just as
easy to get Roses at Christmas (if you have the price)
as it is to get them in June. This change was brought
about by the foresight, hard work and perseverance of
some of the pioneer land owners located around Chi-
cago. Years ago they realized that there would be
more money in raising Roses than in raising Potatoes
and Cabbages, providing they could find a safe and
speedy outlet for the stock they might raise. They built
greenhouses, piped them for steam and started to raise
what greenhouse flowers were popular at that time.
These they sent in to three or four wholesalers who
comprised the cut flower market of that day.

Now the industry has expanded until Chicago alone
supports thirty wholesale cut flower shippers and nearly
five hundred retail flower stores. The retail stores are
located in all parts of the city and all do a flourishing
business.

Success could never have been possible without the
willing cooperation furnished by the express companies
in operation at that time. To make the venture a suc-
cess, it was necessary to get the flowers into the hands
of the retailer in perfect shape, rapidly. This made it
necessary to give the shipments special attention en
route, not so much on account of the value involved,
which is considerable, but on account of the sentiment
the shipments carried.

Cooperation has developed between the cut flower
trade and the express company, and that the express
company appreciates the value of this business, which
is convenient, involving only neat, clean, well balanced
packages, is shown by the fact that it has special facili-
ties in the flower market for handling shipments in regu-
lar routine, meeting trains by schedule pick-up routes.

When the express strike struck Chicago the early
part of 1920, tying up all local shipments for a time,
the only shipments the express company could accept
for a few days (outside the local transfer passing
through the city) were funeral supplies, cut flowers and
moving picture films.

In order to handle this business properly, the Ameri-
can Railway Express Company maintains at Chicago a
special detail of men and wagons, who attend to this
business exclusively. No other class of business is
allowed to interfere with the work. They are there
to haul flower shipments to and from the depots, and
nothing else. Early in the morning they report to the
different depots (and Chicago is blessed with a great
many railroad terminals) and load up with the ship-
ments that have arrived on the night trains. These they
deliver to the dififerent wholesale cut flower houses. They
then pick up the earlv morning shipments which are
taken direct to the different depots in time to go for-
ward on trains leaving as early as 9 am. Any ship-
ments arriving since the last delivery are then picked
up and delivered as before and the routine goes on until
5 pm. In all. they make about five pickups and de-
liveries daily. This goes on every day in the year ex-
cept Sundays and holidays. Any shipments made after
5 p.m. are taken to the depots by the shippers. When
the consolidation of the express companies took effect.
it was found that all the wagons furnished by the dif-
ferent companies previously were used to their full

capacity, so the same number of wagons were left in
service on the market as before.

One feature, introduced recently, has been found to
work out to great advantage in expediting the move-
ment of these perishable shipments. That is the new
form of waybill known as form 11 and 12. This method
gives the shipper the benefit of making out the waybills
themselves at the same time as making the receipt. It
has now been in operation about four months and has
been proven not only to expedite the handling of the
shipments but has resulted in making returns on C. O.
D.'s more prompt and safe. Credit is due the packers
and shipping clerks of these establishments who are
highly trained men and it is seldom that the express
company is presented with any claim on account of
poorly packed or wrongly addressed shipments.

The wholesale houses ship everywhere — North, South,
East and West — within one thousand miles of Chicago-
New Orleans, La., is a big customer at all times. Dur-
ing the Mardi Gras held there, Chicago sends wagon
loads to be used at the great festival. Houston, Texas,
is also a large buyer. Pennsylvania and Ohio draw
heavily on the supply raised here. Going West, Denver,
Colo., is about as far as they care to ship, but a great
many Chrysanthemums come from as far West as Cali-
fornia. Regular shipments of Roses are forwarded from
the Chicago market to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Brandon,
B. C, and other far distant Canadian cities.

About Chicago, within a radius of twenty miles, there
are raised principally Roses, Carnations, Sweet Peas,
Calendulas, Lilies of the Valley, Larkspur and Snap-
dragon, shipments of which are sent here for distribu-
tion to other points. But all flowers cannot be raised in
this territory. A great deal depends on local condi-
tions, causing flower growers to locate in some pretty
remote centers. The culture of flowers is considerably
more than merely putting seeds in the ground and wait-
ing for them to grow. Consideration must be given to
size and shape of the greenhouses, methods and means
of ventilation, quality of water, proper humidity and
temperature, quality and analysis of the soil. Intelli-
gence, patience, capital, knowledge and experience are
all needed to make it a success and last but not least in
importance, are the facilities furnished by the express
company in handling them properly and getting them
to a safe and sure market. * * *

Peonies are shipped in long heavy wooden boxes, not
packed very tight. The flowers are wrapped thirteen in
a bunch, some of them with tissue paper. TThe greatest
difficulty in transporting Peonies is the fact that they
will heat up very rapidly and when the box reaches it!
destination, it must be immediately unpacked. It is
plain, therefore, that if a delay takes place in transit the
flowers will be ruined.

Practically all Peonies are brought directly to the
cold storage house and put in the temperature of about
35 deg. The boxes are immediately opened and the
buds placed into pails. They will remain in bud under
this condition for from four to six weeks, without any
bad effects. In this way, it is possible to buy Peonies,
which are May flowers, at any time during the Sum-
mer. They are very valuable in that they are large
bulky flowers and in making floral pieces for funeral
purposes, they make a splendid showing.

Gladioli are field-grown flowers and are also handled
by the express people in over night shipments to Chi-
cago from Southern Illinois and Eastern Indiana and
in smaller lots from practically every hamlet in the
territory. These are not handled so extensively for
cold storage purposes, however ; when the Summer sea- .
son is over, people welcome with glad hearts, the ap- ■
pearance of Fall flowers. |

For the very obvious reason that the greatest capi-
talists are in the greatest money center of the country-
New York City — orchids, the king of all flowers, are
grown in a territory convenient to New York City,

It was noted in our columns last week (page 1356)
that a larg:e department store aided Christmas shopperL
this year in identifying its floorwalkers by displaying
signs throughout the building reading: "Look for the
man with the white Carnation in his buttonhole; he
knows our store, our merchandise and our service."
Since then it has come to our attention that another
large department store in New York has made use of
the same idea. Perhaps the practice is followed in other
stores throughout the country — but, if not, what an op-
portunity for florists to make it general ! What a boon
to women shoppers if it were commonly known that a
white Carnation distinguishes a floorwalker in any de-
partment store in the country!

Trade Report

The Christmas business of 1920,
while not surpassing that of the preced-
ing years, was undoubtedly a very satis-
factory one for the local florists. Many
of them were enabled to sell out entirely
at prices which were a trifle less than
in other years, approximately five to ten
per cent. Reports from other merchants
indicated that business would show a
decided falling off, but the very fact that
people were curtailing, made them buy
more flowers for presents instead of other
wares. Most of the retail sales ranged
from $3 to $15 and comparatively few
were made over $25.

The supply of stock, both potted and
cut, was a most satisfactory one. Roses
retailed at $5 to $18 per doz., with the
exception of Am. Beauty, which brought
up to $36. Good Premier ran a close
second to Beauty, at $12 to $18 per doz.
Columbias at $9 to $15 per doz., and
Ophelias at $5 to $12 per doz. Carna-
tions suffered severely during the past
month on account of damp weather, and
the cut was altogether inferior and short
at $8 to $15 per 100 wholesale, and $3
to $4 per doz. retail. A few Laddie
brought $6 per doz. Eastern Violets
were surprisingly good, but the price of
course was high at $3 to $4 per 100
wholesale. The sale of all berried stock,

such as California Peppers, Holly and
Michigan red berried, was exceptionally
good, and the green goods dealers were
enabled to sell out early in the day. The
supply of Christmas trees was also just
what it should have been, and everybody
was enabled to sell at a fair figure. Well
made baskets of Poinsettias, Cyclamen,
Begonias and foliage plants, when ar-
ranged artistically, outsold tne specimen
plants themselves at $5 to $15. There
was some little demand for corsages, but
the social season is hardly as brisk this
December as in those preceding the war.

Among the firms who reported a most
excellent business were Greene's Flower
Shop, John Rieman, Pahud Floral Co.,
Henry Rieman, A. Wiegand's Sons Co.
and Thomas Hepler.

Among the choicer flowers noted in the
Indianapolis market were Gardenias at
$2 each, Cattleyas at $4 to $6 each,
Cypripediums at $1 each, California
Heather at 7oc. per spray and Bouvardia
at $4 per doz. sprays.

The F. T. D. is certainly a wonderful
contribution to the florist business and
this Christmas was no exception. There
were many incoming and outgoing or-
ders, all of them choice ones and to the
interest of the collective florists. Re-
spective florists throughout that organi-
zation should certainly be well taken
care of in the future, as the best customer
offers every possibility of becoming more
valuable each year. I. B.

The Market

Christmas, 1920^ came in with a
cold spell. Quite a little snow fell on
Wednesday and the temperature fell to
10 above zero. This caused retailers to
be very careful in delivering plants. The
wholesalers were kept busy Wednesday
and Thursday packing shipping orders.
Carnations were scarce and sold at $15
per 100, a few extra fine quality selling
for $20. Some growers sent in pickled
stock in Roses and, of course, the usual
consequences occurred ; Roses were
quoted from $10 to $30 per 100; some
fancy specials bringing good prices. What
'Mums came in sold well. There waa a
limited supply of Violets and Sweet Peas.
Stevia was in good supply and bulbous
stock moved well. There was also a good
supply of greens.

News Notes

The wholesalers report an increase
over last year's receipts.

Publicity worked well. Large, inviting
ads in the newspapers were divided
equally between the growers of cut flow-
ers and plants.

C. Young & Sons' display in Begonia
plants and Poinsettias was the main at-
traction in their beautiful show windows.

F. H. Weber had a splendid display
in all lines; business has increased con-
siderably over last year with them.

Grimm and Gorley had their windows
elaborately decorated with Christmas
novelties, plants, decorations and end-
less varieties in specials in cut flowers.
Their entire stock moved rapidly.

George Walbart, The Blossom Shop,
Ayres Floral Co., F. C. Weber and others
all report good business.

Christmas Business

Approximately 20 per cent below
the record of last year is our estimate
of the holiday business just closed. This
estimate is arrived at after interviewing
a score or more representative trades-
men, who are well known for the hon-
esty of their reports as well as for the
keenness of their analysis. This vol-
ume of trade does not give any surprise,
as it was commonly thought that the
splendid totals of last season would not
be reached.

The market was, as usual, short of
Carnations and the cheaper grades of
Roses. Of the longer grades, there were
plenty for all comers. The retailers
bought cautiously, forcing the wholesalers
to bear the burden of risk until the pub-
lic pulse could be more surely felt. Con-
sequently the last day purchasing was
brisk. The call for Hudson River Violets
was the lightest in years. The prevail-
ing prices were $35 to $40 per 1000,
which forced the retail florist to ask a
price prohibitive to the average buyer.
As a result, there was a surplus of Vio-
lets at the close of business December

24, which could not be moved. Even re-
tailers who bought very lightly, reported
that they had sustained loss in double
Violets. The high values forced upon
the trade by the Rhinebeck growers this
Christmas was a decided detriment to
the business in general and the loss of
popularity due to this will not be re-
covered in several years.

There was a slight superabundance of
Easter Lilies. At $25 per 100, the move-
ment of this item is always slow. While
the demand was normally good for the
Christmas market, a great many more or-
ders for them could have been filled. The
one long item on the market was Paper-
whites, the price of which descended to
$4 per 100. This is regrettable, as there
is no profit in them at less than 6c, Lib-
eral quantities were carried over Satur-
day and Sunday into the present week.
Asparagus, Adiantum and Smilax did not
move with the accustomed freedom, and
these items did not entirely clean up.
The stock was excellent. There was suf-
ficient Stevia to meet the demand, the
price being $3 per 100.

Such prepared stock as Ruscus, Statice,
Lycopodium, Oak and Adiantum sold well,
which indicates an increased use of these
staple items. Red Ruscus cleaned up
several days before Christmas and much
more of it could have been sold.

The Best Sellers

Retail florists report many pecu-
liar features of the holiday buying this
year. In one leading store, combination
plant baskets, which held first place for
several seasons, appeared to have sud-
denly lost their popularity and many of
them were left over. In this particular
store, long Roses had a better call than
previously. A leading Euclid ave. mer-
chant featured corsages of Violets — the
stock for which was purchased direct —
at reasonable prices, which resulted in
an unprecedentedly heavy sale for flow-
ers for personal adornment. Another
prominent florist featured a splendid as-
sortment of artificial table pieces, baskets,
wreaths, candles, etc., and developed a
remunerative business in them.

Plants did not move as freely as is us-
ual at Christmas time owing to the high
prices. Undoubtedly this is what de-
stroyed the popularity of the combina-
tion plant baskets reported by one of the
above quoted retailers. Small and me-
dium size Begonias, Cyclamens, Poinset-
tias and Primulas suffered because of the
high prices. This is not meant to imply
that the selling prices were heavily out
of proportion to the cost of production;
they looked large to the diminished size
of the average flower buyer's purse.

Enterprising retailers used an increased
amount of advertising space in the local
papers with the customary gratifying re-
sults. The co-operative advertising was
run for several days previous to the holi-
day and covered the field amply and well.
Florists in the outlying districts especial-
ly those located near shops working part
time only report business below its nor-
mal volume in their localities.

Club Meeting

The first meeting of the Florists
Club for the new year will be held in
the rooms at the HoUenden, Monday,
Jan. 3, 1921. A full and representative
turnout is requested. At this meeting,
the new publicity committee will un-
doubtedly be appointed to take the place
of the present one, whose term expires
with the closing year. J. McL,

Kalamazoo, Mich.

A hasty survey indicates a good sub-
stantial business has been done this week
and a lot of tired but satisfied florists
are at the present moment busy getting
out the belated orders to complete the
Christmas trade.

Weather conditions were unsettled, dis-
agreeable fogs and rains being prevalent
early in the week, but this was succeeded
by cold brisk weather with occasional
snows, making for the Christmasy feeling
the cheerful spenders like. With better
sunshine during the month, there would
have been more flowers on hand, but
there seems to have been sufficient for
the demand and no complaint is heard on
account of scarcity. The quality also
was good. Roses retailed at $4, $5 and
$6 per doz. ; Carnations, $3 ; Violets, $1
per bunch ; Paperwhites, $1.50 per doz. ;
Lilies, $3 and $4. Mixed boxes and
bunches averaged $2 upward.

Plenty of pot plants like Cyclamen,
Primrose, Begonias ; nicely bloomed and

they sold at $1 upward, the $1 size being
4in. and nicely in flower. A large num-
ber of Cleveland Cherries were sold and
these made a cheerful show and were
quite popular with buyers. Jackson was
particularly successful with these, and
sold a large number wholesale to the sur-
rounding towns, like Flint, Pontiac,
etc., early in the week.

There is always a steady demand for
those staples, palms and Boston ferns,
and this year was no exception. Holly
and Christmas greens looked to be fairly
good, and sold at 25c. per pound;
wreaths of good substance, $1. Christ-
mas trees sold clean with most florists,
who however, mostly sold on orders. The
made-up baskets and wreaths of artifi-
cial goods apparently maintained their
good standing, as they were in stock at
every store. AU in all, there is good
reason to be satisfied, indeed, even pleased
with the business of Christmas 1920.
Wishing The Exchange and its readers
a most happy and prosperous new year.

Christmas Trade

The big week is now over and re-
sults were surely a surprise in many
ways. The necessary early ordering kept
the wholesale prices up to and above last
year's records. The public shopped
earlier than ever before and, starting last
Monday, business was steady and fine
right through to the last day. Friday
was a disappointment, but the record of
the previous days made us too optimistic
for this day. The usual "passfe" Carna-
tions and Roses, that had been held for
days and which collapsed when sub-
jected to store and home atmosphere,
were the source of much loss and com-
plaint. Holding this stock from the
natural day of its sale, not only inflates
prices by the scarcity of the article at
the time, but deprives the retailer of the
opportunity to dispose of the stock in a
regular way. If stock was subjected to
careful examination and sent back, per-
haps our friends the dealers, would mend
their ways.

Retailers report business better than
last year in that the public seemed will-'
ing to pay the price. Wholesalers sold
out everything and could have handled a
great deal more. Reports of last minute
conditions are not available at this time.

Indiana Dahlia Farm

We have received the "Surplus List" of
Dahlias of the Indiana Dahlia Farm, E.
L. Kunzman, proprietor. New Albany,
Ind., consisting of an eight page leaflet,
listing some 350 varieties. Enclosed is a
special circular descriptive of Mr. Kunz-
man's The King of Commerce, which he
terms a "truly perfect Dahlia."

Report of the Federal Horticultural
Board

Much interesting matter is embodied in
this report of some 30 pages. The pink
Bollworm has apparently given the
Board plenty of work, but it is not shown
that the quarantines in force, or other
methods, have checked the depredations
of this pest.

The European Corn borer, too, seems to
defy the army of oflicials, and the only
record of progress is in the direction of
more quarantined areas.

Potato wart disease is apparently kept
within limits, a fact easily understood as
the disease is spread only by planting
affected seed on clean areas. By pre-
venting the shipment of Potatoes from
the affected areas in Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Maryland, this disease
should be stamped out.

In regard to Potatoes immune to the
"wart," 27 American varieties have been
proved to be immune out of the 78 tested.
Many English, Scotch and German va-
rieties immune to "wart" have also
been tested, some of them showing such
promise that stocks are to be worked
up for general distribution. Consider-
able details relating to plant imports and
inspection service are given, while four
pages are devoted to the list of domestic
and foreign quarantines and restrictive
orders.

Among Our Growers

rhe Blue Hill Nurseries, South
braintreo, Mass.

WitliiQ a sbont disiauce from South
tiriiiutree, on the maiu Hue of New
lOuglaud's ti-utfiu, is situated The Blue
bliU Nurseries. Julius iieurlin, the
)roprietor, knows of what he speaks
;vheu he emphasizes the hardiness of hia
itock. The location of the nurseries,
ipou n promontory of the Blue Hilt
Uiouuliain range, is such that it is ex-
)ose<l to the utmost rigors of the New
Onpland climate. Plants grown in such
I situation are sure to withstand the
iffects of the coldest northern blasts or
he prolongated periods of Summer
Irought ; for here they have to accom-
Qodate themselves to both conditions if
hey are to live. Whenever a cold snap
trikes New England itihe readings of the
51ue Hills observatory are sure to rec-
■rd the lowest mark and readings of 30
legrees or more under zero. Owners of
tnvate estates all over the country have
ong been aware of these facts, and the
ienown of the nurseries in this respedt
lias had much to do with its progress
ind popularity. Another valuable fea-
jure of tliis nursery is its large coUec-
|ion of rare and seldom seen species and
rarieties of all sorts of plants. The
Dver or collector of planjts is sure to
nd what he is after on tbig place, for
fr. Heurlin is an enthusiastic collector
imself, proof of which fact are his nu-
lerous exhibits of rare and meritorious
lants and flowers at every exhibition
1 Horticultural Hall, Bosltfon. and else-
where. Many gold and silver medals
ave been awarded his exhibits.

Of hardy evergreens there are about
25 varieties under cultivation ; grow-
3g perfect specimens for park and land-
,:ape work has long been made a spe-
lialty. The collection of evergreen
;lirubs and plants is complete and con-
iuns many choice, litjtle known varieties,
jipecially of Rhododendrons, Oallunas
ad Euonymus. The same can be
lid of the deciduous shrubs. Here may
i found many of the latest introduc-
ons from China, Japan and Korea.

Iorsythia spectabilis; F. ritellina and
. primulinus have proved' perfectly
ardy and they are destined to be grown
ostt extensively on account of their ele-
int growth, wealth of beautiful flowers
lid the habit of retaining their foliage
itil after Christmas. Diervilla florida
■nusta is also entirely hardy and is a
est beautiful tthing. The new Philadel-
luses ; introduced by E. H. Wilson, are
! wonderful collection, most of them
■e much more graceful than the older
Tts, while some have very large flow-
s, up to 2%in.. and include doubles,
thers have very small flowers but borne

such profusion as to completely cover
,e plan(t. The double flowers of the
rge flowered varieties compare well
ith Gardenias.
The deciduous trees are represented

all species and varieties and block
)on block of most symmetrically shaped
ecimens can be found in all sizes,
awthorns, flowering Crabs, Maples and
eeches embrace many rare varieties
hile herbaceous perennials, grasses,
TDs and rock plants for every purpose
e on hand in great numbers.
Mr. Heurlin, an ardent collector and
; traveller of wide experience, is al-
iiys bringing home novel, fancy or odd
lings. A visitor to the nurseries will

iid many interesting items, one among
em being a Tsuga canadensis which
s grown on the place for the last 26
Jars and is now but ten inches high
id ten inches in width. It is as healthy

id bright as any plant, bu't it has for-
tten how to grow.
i+er Pe^erzini of Medfield, Mass.
jFast coming to the front as a flower
(ower is Peter Pederzini. His home
Id place of business is situated about
j miles from Boston on a main road,
Tth 'the electric car passing the door.
JB started in business about three years
|o when he built a "fine modern green-
juse of iron and cement construction.
b has since added more houses of the

ime deKcrintion. so that there are now
out lO.OOOflt. of glass, and preparations
e now being made to much enlarge
l;a plant. He is associated with other
rties under the firm name of The Med-
ild Farms and Greenhouse Corpora-
Im. with a capital of $150,000. and
I 'US some 400 acres of exceptionally

WL'll located and fruitful land. As 'time
goes on. the land is to be brought under
intensive cultivation and nursery and
farm crops are to be grown in connec-
tion with the greenhouse establishment.
At presenfd the greenhouses are filled with
a general assortment of foliage and flow-
ering plants. One house is devoted to
Carnations and Snapdragons, both of
which crops are in fine condition.

Mr. Pederzini is well known and has
a host of friends among the trade. He
is of a genial, sunny disposition audi
gloom is absent where he is about.

R. H. S. Echoes

Anyone who has kept an eye on the do-
ings of Britain's premier horticultural so-
ciety cannot but have been impressed by
the extraordinary interest displayed in
its fortnightly exhibitions. At times the
attendance reached such proportions that
both visitors and exhibitors have groaned
in protest. All the more remarkable is
the fact that the shows in late November
and early December were so good that
one paper declared that never before had
such a display been seen at the end of
the season.

At both these meetings, leading Covent
Garden growers came out of their seclu-
sion and set up groups of Ericas such as
had never before been seen, each gain-
ing a gold medal. On Nov, 30, no less
than five gold medal displays were set
up. Sweet & Son, possibly the largest
growers of pot Ericas in the world, have
never made such an exhibit before, their
whole output being grown for commer-
cial purposes.

At the same show, Carl Engelmann and
Allwood Bros., both gained gold medals,
similar awards for the same groups being
given at the Carnation Society Show,
held the following day. Allwood's exhibit
filled the end of the hall, some 90ft. x 6ft.
The work on such an exhibit can be
gauged, when it is mentioned that every
flower was handled and properly set in
the vases or on the pyramids. Flowers
just dumped into vases carry no weight,
they must be properly set up to attract
attention. Carl Engelmann included a
few good flowers of Maine Sunshine in
his exhibit, but not sufficient to meet the
conditions for awards ; Stuart Low & Co.
covered 200 sq. ft. with orchids, while
Chrysanthemums were strongly shown
by Wells & Co., and several others. To
American growers it might seem strange
that a gold medal should be awarded to
a trade exhibit of Potatoes, but those
who have never seen Scottish grown
"spuds" washed and spruced up and dis-
played in baskets on a black velvet cov-
ered stand, can have no conception of
what beauty there is in the humble Po-
tato. Dobbie & Co., who staged the ex-
hibit, confined themselves to wart-proof
varieties only, some 40 baskets being
shown.

[It may be mentioned here that Sweet
& Son, above referred to, grow pot plants
of many kinds at their nurseries outside
London, but Ericas are a leading feature.
These, they usually have on sale con-
tinuously and without a letup from the
end of September to April or later. They
handle many species and varieties which
give them a range of colors and a con-
tinuity of bloom. Perhaps the most im-
portant of the series is the gracilis type
and its white form, nivalis. These can
be had in varying sizes from l%in. pots
up. There is surely room for these tiny
or miniature Ericas in our markets. They
can be used for all sorts of purposes, and
that they appeal to the public in London,
is proved by the fact that scores of thou-
sands are shipped to all parts of the coun-
try by the two or three concerns who
handle them.]

British Carnation Show

The annual exhibition held on Dec. 1
demonstrated that the enthusiasm for
this flower is rapidly recovering from the
setback caused by the war.

The amateurs, who for the past few
years, have been conspicuous by their ab-
sence at the British Carnation Society's
exhibitions, were again out in force.

The trade exhibitors, too. were more
numerous, and the competition through-
out the whole of the classes was de-
cidedly keen. Carl Engelmann made it
a field day, for apart from his huije non-
competitive exhibit which gained him a
larere gold medal he captured the 50
minea Monro cup for 12 varieties. 25
blooms of each ; the Brunton cup for
three British novelties ; the American

better vase of Carola, his own variety,
than he could himself stage. In each
class he scored over several competitors.

R. F. Felton, the well-known florist,
was beaten in the basket class by a lady
amateur, but he scored with the bouquet.
Novelties securing awards of merit were
White Pearl by Stuart Low & Co..
Jeannie, blush pink, by N. W. Vander-
weyden ; Cupid, salmon pink by Carl En-
pelmann ; Lady Inverforth. cerise by S.
Low & Co. ; Laddie, which scored SI
points shown by Low & Co. and Wivels-
field Apricot, by Allwood Bros. The
highest points were gained by White
Pearl. 85 out of a possible 100.

Laddie, shown by Carl Engelmann at
the R. H. S. on Nov. 30, received an
A. M. from that society also.

B\irther evidence of the increased in-
terest in Carnation in England is shown
by the fact that the British Carnation
Popiety has registered no less than ?■<
new seedlings during the year. Ameri-
can raisers will need to keep busy if
they are to hold their prestige as pro-
ducers of the best. The British grow-
ers are out to shake the popular Ameri-
ran varieties from their position and the
fact that men like Engelmann, Wallace,
Allwood and Low are directly aiming for
rommercial varieties is worthy of note.
Already, W. E. Wallace has several va-
rieties which are so fine for his purpose,
that he has scrapped old-time favorites,
but refuses to disseminate his seedlings.

Honors for Sir Harry J. Veitch,
V. M. H.

Sir Harry J. Veitch, formerly head
of the now extinct house of James Veitch
& Sons, London, has recently been the
recipient of the Cross of Chevalier of
the Legion of Honor from the French
government in recognition of the services
rendered to the devastated regions of
France.

In the early part of 1920 he also was
presented by the King of the Belgians
with the Cross of Officer de I'Orde de la
Couronne for similar services rendered to
Belgium.

Fake Insecticides

The enforcement of the insecticide act
has brought to light many weird and
wonderful remedies, says Dr. J. K. Hay-
wood of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture. One remedy for all liinds of tree
diseases, consisted of 80 per cent salt, the
balance made up of equally "powerful"
ingredients. It was sold by an itinerant
tree "specialist" at $3 a can.

Another remarkable remedy was that
offered to poultry keepers for the ex-
termination of vermin. A few drops of
the fluid in the drinking water was guar-
anteed to kill lice by its action through
the pores. The fact that chickens have
no pores at once demonstrated its useless-
ness. The treatment of diseased trees
by innoculation is also a favorite with
some tree "specialists." One of these
gentlemen ruined a number of orchards
through the uses of cyanide capsules be-
fore the Department got on his trail.

Making Pansies Bloom

I have a small house of 1300 Pansies
which are growing fairly well, but show
no bloom. Can I encourage them in
anyway? — A. R. W., Mass.

— There is nothing you can do to en-
courage flower. Presumably you sowed
late and perhaps you have a late flower-
ing stock. Generally speaking, Pansies
sown around August should be flowering
freely, indeed we saw thousands of them
in full flower in the open ground up to
a few days before Christmas. You must
let your' plants come along naturally:
heat will not help them.

Christmas Trade Among the
jPlorists

The exceptionally fine weather
preceding the holidays did much to stimu-
late business and our florists without ex-
ception, agree that the volume of busi-
ness came luUy up to their expectations.
While the business was of a different na-
ture to that of a year ago when people
spent money like drunken sailors without
regard to values, it was evident this year,
that flower giving as Christmas gifts has
become an established custom with our
people that will endure. S. H. Moore &
Co., J. N. Champion & Co., Coombs, The
Florist, Chas. Munro, Myers Flower
Shop, J. J. McQuiggau and Myer Wil-
son, all had attractive window displays,
which no doubt brought in a goodly num-
ber of customers, especially those who
were undecided as to what would be ac-
ceptable without question. As an illus-
tration, one man came into Champion &
Co.'s and ordered fifteen baskets of flow-
ers made up at $15 each. He thus avoided
shopping about to find suitable gifts for
as many friends ; all were treated alike
and the whole matter would be cleaned
up with one cheque. There is a sugges-
tion here that could be played up strong
in the advertisements of another year.
The newspaper advertisements this year
were particularly strong, notably those of
Coombs, The Florist, and Champion &
Co.

The class of business at the different
stores varied ; at those nearest the center.

a good many cut flowers were sold, prob-
ably transients, while those further out
found the demand strong for potted plants
and baskets. The Myers Flower Shop
sold a great quantity of novelties of
which they make a specialty.

Begonia Peterson, Chattelain and Cin-
cinnati at $1.50 to $5 were favorites;
Poinsettias $3 to $10, sold well, and Cher-
ries at $1 to $4 were entirely cleaned up.
Ardisias are becoming a popular seller
as the public begin to appreciate the
keeping qualities of this plant ; they easily
realized ?5 to $10. Peppers and ferns
sold weU. Combination baskets at $10 to
$15 were really a good proposition for
the florists ; the manner of making them
up and the cost is so flexible, that a great
deal of material not moving well, can be
worked into them. Taste displayed ^ in
arranging them counts more than high
priced material would if poorly arranged.
One dealer had 11 cases of flowers sent
from Philadelphia ; the freight charges
were $40 and packing $21 ; total, $61, an
expense that adds nothing to the value of
the goods. Bather puts a crimp in a
fellow's bank roll, doesn't it?
Odd Notes

There are about 31 florists and
growers in New Haven who would be
eligible to membership in a florists' club.
There is a great need of such an organi-
zation and we hope that this coming year
an active club will be realized.

Dahlias are keeping rather poorly
owing to the mild season and growers
are looking them over to prevent loss.

The annual meeting of the New Haven
County Horticultural Society occurs Jan.
14. Election of officers and other important
business to be transacted makes a full
attendance desirable. City Hall, 8 o'clock.

Cliristmas Trade

Good weather, with a good de-
mand for stock of all kinds made Christ-
mas, 1920, one of the most satisfactory
on record. Business conditions were
such that a smaller volume of trade than
usual was expected but, as it turned out,
everybody is happy.

Baskets of artificially treated material
were featured by Schultz and proved an
attraction ; in fact, these threaten to in-
terfere with the sale of growing plants.
However, the people must be given what
they want. Holly wreaths well berried,
also wreaths of boxwood were sold just
as quickly as they could be put together,
the holly being the best we remember
seeing. There was the usual run of pot
plants. Begonias Cincinnatia, Mrs. J. A.
Peterson and Melior, in small pots
brought from $2 to $4 each ; Heathers, $5
to $6 ; Cyclamen, $4 to $5 ; Orange trees,
$4 to $5. Jerusalem Cherries were also
sold in large numbers at satisfactory
prices.

Cut flower prices averaged as follows :
Hoses, $S to $10 a dozen ; Carnations,
$2 to $5 a doz.. Laddie being one of those
bringing the latter price. Only a few
Violets were sold, $5 being the price. Nar-
cissus, Paperwhites and Soleil d'Or made
$1.50 a doz. ; Pansies and Calendulas,
50c. a doz ; Poinsettias, $1 a bloom.

Never were so many Christmas trees
sold; trade in these being left to the

seed and hardware stores.

Mrs. Laura P. Sisson, widow of Win-
field Scott Sisson, was struck by an auto-
mobile on Broadway near her home, on.
Monday evening, and died at the Newport
Hospital a short time afterwards. _ Mr.
Sisson, who died a few years ago, will be*
remembered as a Dahlia specialist ; also
as a partner in the Newport Hardware
Co.

Mrs. Sisson's sister, Mrs. Parker Thurs-
ton, who was with her, also had a nar- ■
row escape and is now at the hospital se-
riously injured, but is expected to re-
cover. Mr. Thurston is one of the ac->
tive partners of the Newport Hardware '
Co. He alos takes much interest in the
work of the horticultural society, serv- '
ing on the entertainment committee. Sym- j
pathy goes out to them in their calamity,-',

Hoiyoke, Mass.

The Christmas rush is over and the
florists all report a record-breaking busi-
ness. Dark weather and short days for
the previous weeks checked and belated
much of the stock, resulting in a scarcity '
of cut flowers, and customers were urged
to purchase plants instead.

Boston ferns. Cherries and Begonias
were the heavy sellers.

The Hoiyoke and Northampton Gar-
deners and Florists Club will hold its
next meeting on Thursday evening, Jan. 4,
at the home of George _ H. Sinclair.
"Ladies' Night" will be observed.

Christmas Echoes

Dec. 27. — The Christmas rush is
now over, and everyone is glad to have
a rest after the busy week. We had
exceptionally flue weather for delivering
plants and cut flowers. The first snow
storm of the season reached here today, .
and everyone is thankful that it did not'(
come to this vicinity last week. While*
some florists report that the plant and
cut flower sales were about equal, the
consensus of opinion is that plants went
best. This was due to the high prices
of cut flowers and also to the fact that
thousands of- men are out of work in the
city. One of the members of the local
trade_ reports that he sold fewer corsage
bouquets than he has in years. Another
says that the orders usually received fromn
young fellows for boxes of cut flowers!
and corsages for their friends, were con-
spicuous by their absence,

' Cut flowers were plentiful. Carna-
tions brought $2 and $3 a doz. and $1.50
a doz. for smal er flowers. Sweet Peas
made $1.50 for a bunch containing two
dozen stems ; Violets sold for $4 a 100,
but very few were disposed of. Short
stemmed Koses realized $2 a dozen and

I better grades in proportion. Among the
other cut flowers to be had were Callas,
Easter Lilies, Paperwhites, Stevia, Pan-

] sies. Calendulas, Snapdragons, etc.
Some handsome baskets composed of
Crotons, ferns and flowering plants wercj
displayed ; these were disposed of in most*]
instances to the wealthier people, am
many customers were looking for some'^']
thing cheaper this year. Jerusalem Cher-
ries selling from $1.50 to $3 a pot were
popular. One florist reports that in many
cases where a person was in the habit of
spending $10 for a plant, this year only:
$2 or $3 was spent. On the other handfJ
many people gave plants for present'
as they felt that the plant made a betti
showing for the money than other lini
of merchandise. On the whole, plant sail
were highly satisfactory, and were equi
to those of last year in most cases.

Trees went very well. The local floi
ists were all completely cleaned out
trees. They did not stock up nearly
heavy as last year, because there was
oversupply at that time and many wei
left over. Holly was poor this year aril
did not go as well as usual ; greens wetf
well although some of the churches usei
less roping than in former years. ThL
fact tWat the department stores solo
wreaths as well as many small standi
about town, hurt the florist to some el
tent.

There is a good demand for funerl
flowers and these designs help to kei
cut flowers moving.

Various Notes

James Horan & Son report that
on the whole Christmas trade was not as
good as usual. The days immediately
before Christmas were splendid, but the
early part of Christmas week was quiet.
Plant trade was exceptionally good, al-
though the plants that remained unsold
were among the most expensive, as many
people were looking for smaller plants.
Christmas trees were all disposed of. On
Christmas Day and Sunday, an unusually
large number of funeral orders were
filled. These designs cleaned up all of
the cut flowers that were left over from
the Christmas trade ; thus the whole,
the week's trade including funeral work,
proved very satisfactory.

John Reck & Son say that there was a
falling off in the sale of cut flowers, due
to the fact that they were so high in
price. They persuaded a number of their
customers to purchase plants instead of
cut flowers. The Christmas prices in the
New York cut flower market in many in-
stances, were too high for local florists,
as they were higher than the local re-
tail prices. Less corsages were sold than
in a good many years. For the better-
ment of the trade, prices should be more
moderate. Greens went well and trees
were all sold out.

The Park Garden and Flower Shop re-
port a good week. Wreaths went very
well. Funeral work is good.

George Pflomm displayed some very at-
tractive combination baskets which went
well. He was also plentifully supplied
with cut flowers, but reports that gen-
eral trade was not up to that of last year.

The Arcade Florists report a satisfac-
tory Christmas trade, but sold more plants
than cut flowers.

James E. Beach had a plentiful supply
of cut flowers and plants on hand. He
was completely cleaned out of cut flowers.

Julius Reck says that both cut flowers
and potted plants were in big demand.
Assorted pots of Poinsettias, Begonias,
Ericas and ferns were the most popular
plants. Large numbers of Boston Ferns
were disposed of. They had a good crop
of Carnations on hand, also some fine
Stevia and Narcissi.

Robert Hawkins had an exceptionally
good Christmas trade. The prices were
so high on Carnations, Violets and Roses
that corsages did not move as well as
usual, but plant sales made up for this.
Jerusalem Cherries from $1.50 to $3 a
pot were in big demand, but the large
madeup baskets were all disposed of to
the wealthier customers. This firm had
a beautiful window display of Begonias
and ferns which completely sold out. They
have decorated for several small weddings
recently, and also had a number of large
funeral designs, among them a 6ft. stand-
ing wreath of Oak leaves, Gardenias and
Violets.— F. E. B.

Look for the Limequat Next
Spring

The Department of Agriculture an-
nounces that by next Spring it expects to
give to the country the "Limequat," a
new Citrus fruit, toward the production of
which it has been working for some
years.

This fruit, for which Walter T. Swin-
gle of the Bureau of Plant Industry is
primarily responsible, is described as
"twice the size of the ordinary Lime, with
the rind palatable in color resembling
the Grapefruit, and the juice contain-
ing a desirable acid flavor. From its
Kumquat ancestor it is said to derive a
remarkable degree of hardiness, the small
Kumquat being resistant to both Spring
frosts (on account of the slow appear-
ance of its flowers) and to long spells of
hot weather which sometimes stimulate
iu other Citrus trees the development of
succulent, tender growths which are
likely to be killed by subsequent cold
spells.

The Limequat will be looked for with
interest, both by horticulturists .and by
those who appreciate cooling beverages
that come within the law.

Christmas Conditions and Prices

The Market

It is a pretty difficult task to give
the range of prices of the different kinds
of cut flowers prevailing the day and
night before and up to midday on Christ-
mas. They are liable to such fluctuations
because of the development of pronounced
shortages or large surpluses, but we will
try to do the best we can in this mat-
ter. In the first place, we will say that
it seems to be the consensus of the whole-
salers of cut flowers that there was a
moderately good Christmas business, not
extremely disappointing or elating and,
by the way of comparison, apparently not
as large as last year.

As regards the general supply, that of
high grade itoses, ranging from fancies
to extra special, was much larger than
was expected, in fact, larger than the de-
mand absorbed. That of Gardenias was
far beyond the requirements. Of other
stocks there were for the most part a
medium supply, and in no case a marked
shortage, except of good Mignonette ;
there was a medium demand viewed from
a holiday standpoint.

Am. Beauty Roses, special grade
blooms, brought 75c. to $1.50 each in
general ; a few select blooms sold for §2 ;
top grade blooms of other Roses sold at
25c. to $1.50 each. We will give the
price of a few of the favorite varieties of
this grade. Columbia, 40c. to 75c. each ;
Hadley, 75c. to $1; Key, §1 to 31-50;
Madam Butterfly, 30c. to oOc. ; Pilgrim,
20c. to 2dc. ; Duulop, 30c. to 35c. ; Ward,
40c. to 50c. ; Ophelia, 35c. to 50c. ; Pre-
mier, 50c. t_o 75c. ; Russell, 50c. to 7oc. ;
Crusader, ioc. to $1.25. No. 2 grade
blooms, covering all varieties, from §S
to $12 a 100. The close of Christmas
sales found a large number of top grade
Roses still unsold which had to be dis-
posed of later at prices ranging from
25 per cent to oO per cent lower than
quoted above.

Carnations of select grades sold affrom
$10 to $20 per 100. Whites only reached
to $10 to $12, red $15 to $20, and Wards
$20. The lower grades sold at about $6
per 100. The demand was such as to
largely absorb the supply of the select
grades.

As regards Cattleyas, there was a
rather large supply of those of the less
preferred variety, PercivaUana, and of
those of inferior quality of other va-
rieties ; there was a very little demand
for these even at 25c. to 50c. each. Me-
dium to top grade blooms of the variety
C. Trianse and labiata brought $1 to $2
each. The extremely large supply of
Gardenias met with a disappointingly
small demand at prices ranging from $1
to §6 per doz.. and many of these were
unsold. The abundant supply of Lily of
the Valley met with only a moderate de-
mand at $5 to $15 per 100, and was not
all sold out at these flgures. White Lilies
sold at $25 to $35 per 100 ; pink at $10
to $15.

Paperwhite and Soleil d'Or Narcissus
moved out sluggishly at 40c. to 50e and
75c. to $1 per bunch respectively. The
small supply of single DafEodills Golden
Spur, sold at $2.50 per bunch. Callas
commanded a price of $3 to $5 per doz.

Antirrhinum brought, per bunch, $2 to
$3 ; Bouvardia. $1.00 to $1.50 ; Calendula,
50c. to $1 ; Myosotis, 50c. to $1 ; Stevia,
35c. ; Buddleia, $2. Daisies, per 100,
sold at $4 to $8; Pansies, $2 to $3;
Sweet Peas, $3 to SS; double Violets,
60c. to $2 ; Singles, Herricks, $1 to $1.50,
and California, $2. All of these bulbous

and miscellaneous flowers met with a
medium demand.

Indoor greens moved well as did also
hardy greens and the distinctively
Christmas greens and berried boughs.

Tuesday, Dec. 28. — The general
supply of cut flowers in the market to-
day is moderate and the demand light,
prices are much lower than those for
j Christmas.

j Am. Beauty Roses, special grade

I blooms, sell at 7oc. to $1.25 each ; other

I grades at corresponding prices. Top

grade blooms of other Roses are selling

at 12c. to 50c. each ; No. 2 grades at $4

to $8 per 100.

Carnations, select grade, are bringing
SS to $10 per 100 ; inferiors to ordi-
naries, $5 to $6.

There is an abundant supply of Cattle-
yas of inferior quality which cannot be
disposed of at prices ranging from 25c.
to 40c. each, and a moderate supply of
select blooms of the preferred varieties
which are selling at $1 to $2 each. A
large supply of Lily of the Valley is ac-
cumulating ; the asking price is from
$3 to $10, and occasionally $12 per 100.
White Lilies are bringing $20 to $25 ;
pink Lilies, $8 to $15 per 100. Gardenias
are in notably overlarge supply and can
be disposed of only in part at $1 to $6
per doz. ; there are large accumulations.
Narcissus Paperwhite, Soleil d'Or and
Golden Spur are selling respectively at
35c. to 40c., 75c. to $1, and $1.50 to $2
per bunch. Callas at $2 to $4 per doz.
Violets are moving out slowlv at 50c. to
$1.50 per 100 for double ; 50c. to 75c. for
the single variety Herrick, and $1.50 to
$2 for California. Sweet Peas at $4 to
$5 per 100. These bulbous and mis-
cellaneous flowers are meeting with a
moderate demand and the same is true
of other miscellaneous flowers not men-
tioned here, but quoted in our price list.
All kinds of greens, indoor grown and
hardy, are moving as a matter of course
more slowly than last week, but never-
theless are meeting with a fair demand.

News Kotes

Christmas Day, 1920, with its festivi-
ties and its exchange of presents and its
Santa Claus myth is past ; New Year's
Day is close at hand and 1921 will be
welcomed in this city, we will not say as
in the old days, but nevertheless probably
with a "glad hand." Of the wholesale
and retail florists business in this city at
Christmas time we think we may safely
say that although it has not made a
high record, it has fared mighty well con-
sidering that in these days prices in stocks
in many cases are tumbling down fast and
the list of the unemployed is rapidly
increasing. From what we can learn the
florists' trade this Christmas, in volume
of sales, compared very favorably with
other lines of business.

A. M. Henshaw, president of the New
York Florists' Club, and of the Henshaw
Floral Co., 43 W. 18th st., on Christmas
evening, was taken to the Overlook Hos-
pital at Summit, N. J., where he under-
went an operation for appendicitis. Mr.
Henshaw told some of his fellow whole-
salers in the ISth st. market on the pre-
vious Thursday that he was not feeling
at all well. Nevertheless, he was in his
place of business all day Friday and stuck
to his post with the rest of his staff
throughout Friday night, but on Satur-
day morning, Christmas Day, he tele-
phoned his manager that he would not
be able to come into the city. The opera-
tion was successful and we learn at this
writing, Wednesday, Dec. 29tb, that Mr.
Hei,shaw is making good progress toward
recovery.

Nearly or quite all of the wholesale
flower stores in this city closed at about
1 o'clock on Christmas Day.

F. A. Richmond & Co., Inc., 101 Park
pliace, are offering imported hothouse
grapes to the retail florists. These grapes
when arranged in shallow baskets in com-
bination with choice flowers make most
attractive offerings, not only for the holi-
days, but throughout the season. A con-
siderable number of the retail florists of
this city availed themselves of this op-
portunity and had on sale baskets of
Grapes and flowers in artistic arrange-
ments for the Christmas holiday trade.

When calling on Bonnet & Blake, 130
Livingston st., Brookyln, recently, we
found Mr. Bonnet busy as usual. We
noted there, choice blooms of the im-
proved Enchantress Carnations, of which
this firm is receiving a steady supply as
in past years from A. Demusey, whose
growing establishment is at Clarkson and
43d St., Brooklyn.

One day last week we dropped in at
28 Willoughby st., and found there both
Wm. H. Kuebler and his brother, Louis.
Both were busy, but for all of that they
were in the Christmas spirit and well
prepared with their stock of cut flowers
to help the retail florists enjoy a good
Christmas business and see the old year
out and the new year in.

We cannot help but make mention of
the splendid Roses which we saw on sale
for the Christmas holidays at J. S. Fen-
rich's, 43 W. ISth sr. These were largely
from the growing establishment of the
Duckham-Pierson Co., Madison, N. J.,
and included such uptodate varieties as
Madam Butterfly, Crusader, Hadley, Pre-
mier and Columbia, and also the older
varieties. Russell and Ophelia and Double
White Killarney.

Among the callers in town this week
were F. R. Austin, president of the Pea-
cock Dahlia Farm, Berlin, N. J., and
Thos. Roland, Nahant, Mass., president-
elect of the S. A. F.

Charles Henry Fox of Philadelphia
was a visitor at this office this week. His
insurance plan for the raising of a perma-
nent advertising fund is proving of much
interest to all who seek an ideal solution
to this important problem.

a heavy dark red, sold well, red Roses
being at a premium. Carnations, always
in demand at this festive season, made
record prices and sold well.

Sweet Peas, Snapdragons, Paper-
whites, Narcissus, Mignonette and Stevia
were in profusion, but Violets were con-
spicuous by their absence. The Montreal
Floral Exchange had a record week's
business and was able to take care of
both local and its shipping trade.

Ne-ws Notes

Chas. J. Hill, who was appointed I
florist to the Prince of Wales, while on-i
his tour of the Dominion, has recently
placed on his delivery car the Royal In-
signia, "The Prince of Wales Feathers."
Charles is naturally proud of the honor
conferred on him.

The Montreal Gardeners and Florists
Club had their annual Euchre party re-
cently, some being able to do the turkeyr
trot home, having been successful in wln-i*
ning a Christmas dinner.

Montreal Notes

Christmas Trade

Only before the war did one see such a
blaze of color in the stores as was seen
this year. The splendid Azalea was to be
seen in all its glory ; massive heads of bloom
seemed to eclipse all other plants. Prices
were satisfactory to the grower and seller
alike. Most of the plants were grown
locally, and were in fine shape. During
the war, Cyclamen took the place of the
Azalea, but now the buying public will
take an Azalea in preference. One local
grower had a large stock but was quickly
cleared out.

The Poinsettia is always a prime fa-
vorite. Its color makes it a good seller.
Those who were able to get good plants
found ready buyers. Without doubt the
Cyclamen is a good, useful plant when
well grown, and it meets with a ready
sale. Some very fine plants were seen
in the stores. In the cut flower mar-
ket American Beauty was of the million-
aire class this year ; a record in prices
was made. Among the everyday Roses
Columbia, Premier, Russell. Pilgrim and
Dunlop were in demand, while Crusader,

New York Botanical Garden

, The Journal for November contains ani
I interesting account of Dr. N. L. Britton's
I visit to the various botanical institutions
of England made between August and
October last. Dr. Brittbn, accompanied
by his wife, spent much time at Kew.
Dr. Eritton found many of the trees had,
in the nine years since his last visit,
made wonderful growth, and he was much
impressed by the neatness and order of
the gardens, so effectively secured by thflt
loft, brick wall which surrounds the 4
I 270 acres, and which is broken only byf
the sis entrances for pedestrians.

"The wealth of shrubbery at Kew,"
' says Dr. Britton, makes one envious o£
the climatic conditions which render it
possible.

The collection of Kniphofias especially;
attracted attention, whUe the Michael*"
mas Daisies and Goldenrods in tbeifl
many species and varieties apparently)
delighted Dr. Britton. The famous roclcl
garden, the Cacti collection and the or»^
chids also were a source of interestiL
Mrs. Britton devoted most of her timfl^
at Kew to studies of the moss collectiona^i
which are a special study with her.

Dr. and Mrs, Britton also spent some 4
time at the British National Museanw
and visited the botanical garden of Ox*
ford, now some 300 years old, and the
Cambridge University gardens which
have become notable in latter years,
through the work of Miss Saunders.

Dr. Britton concludes his narrative by
stating that the botanical institutions mm
England, like those at home, are undeM
manned scientifically.

Welcome News for the Carnation Grower

(THIS IS NOT FICTION)

Every Carnation grower knows that a Carnation that has all the good points and not one of the bad
ones of Pink Delight, is worth considering. How much more so if it has ALL THE GOOD POINTS, BET-
TER and MORE OF THEM.

WHITE DELIGHT

which is a sport of the Pink variety is away ahead of its parent and is, according to the judgment of expert
Carnation men

THE BEST WHITE CARNATION OF THE PRESENT DAY

Now here are the plain, unvarnished facts:

Something over two years ago, Mr. Chas. S. Strout, of
Biddeford, Me., came to Mr. Wm. Sim, of Cliftondale, and
told him he had a good thing in the new white sport of Pink
Delight, to which he had given the name of White Delight.
The two men (and others) gave the newcomer a thorough over-
hauling and many critical inspections. Mr. Sim looked it up
at Mr. Strout's place a number of times and finally planted a
number of beds with it. The new variety did more and better
than expected and nine-tenths of Mr. Sim's plantings for
white consist now of White Delight. It can be seen there in
all its glory any time. Mr. Strout also planted just as heavily
of it and both men and every other man who has followed it

DOLANSKY-McDONALD CO., are distributing agents for WHITE DELIGHT. They are pre-
pared to fill all orders for strong, healthy cuttings from now on. $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000.

DOLANSKY-McDONALD CO.

up pronounce WHITE DELIGHT THE BEST WHITE CAR-
NATION OF THE PRESENT DAY. Its growth is much
stronger and more free than that of its parent, with never a
"squizzly" looking flower. The flower is pure white, a dandy
shipper and keeper, even better than its parent and that is say-
ing a whole lot. WHITE DELIGHT roots about as easy as any
other standard sort, which fact does away with the main fault
of its parent. White Delight scored 90 points, when it was
exhibited before the New York Florists' Club on December 13.
DOLANSKY-McDONALD CO. have handled and sold
the flowers of WHITE DELIGHT for two years now and the
demand and repeat orders are increasing every day.

Tlie Market

Dec. 28. — Christmas trade turned
out very well, indeed. Because cut
flower buying did not develop until Fri-
day morning, there was a fear that the
prevailing depression in manufacturing
and store life would extend Into the
flower and plant trade. While, without
doubt, the above mentioned conditions
did to some extent affect the buying of
flowers and plants, it is also true
that notwithstanding this handicap,
a tremendous amount of trade was
Boston's share and wholesaler, retailer
and grower are well satisfied. In a gen-
eral way, business done was equal to last
year's; a number of stores consider it
better. Flowers, on the whole, were ob-
tainable in just about sufficient quantity,
the quality was good all through and only
Violets, white Lilies and Paperwhites suf-
fered for lack of demand. There ia a
complaint among retailers that corsage

bouquets were sadly neglected this year.
This gave a black eye to Violets and in
a less degree, to orchids, but as the sup-
ply of both was rather short, the grower
got rid of the goods to the retailer, who
bought on "spec" for a normal corsage
bouquet trade. The prices for flowers
were not much below last year's, ex-
cept in Carnations. Of these, the bulk
was disposed of in ihe market, for be-
tween 12c. and 15c. Special grades or
lots brought as high as 20c., especially
reds and Laddie. More Carnations could
have been used. Roses were, to a large
extent of more than medium length ; the
call for short lengths was insistent, but
fruitless. Am. Beauty brought good money,
up to ?2 each. Hadley made $1 and
Russell, Premier, Pilgrim, Crusader and
extra good Columbias and Ophelias 60c.
to 75c. All Roses sold out clean. Pansies
and Violets reached 4c. ; Sweet Peas, 6c. ;
all of these were short of the demand in
the market, selling out clean. Mignonette
did not fare so well, although the quality
was above medium. Stevia was too plen-
tiful and suffered in price. All the other
minor flowers were a little higher than
usual. Orchids and Lily of the Valley
sold about normal. Of Asparagus there
was enough at usual prices.

Coming to plants, we noticed that the
retail stores bad laid in good stocks of
Begonias, Cyclamens, Potnsettias,
Oranges, Cherries, etc. The plants were,
this year, of first class quality and the
sales good. Still, there are some lots of
plants left. These consist mainly of the
more costly specimens. Of Cyclamens
and Begonias, immense quantities were
sold at good prices. Baskets and jardi-
nieres filled with plants sold well. Of
Jerusalem Cherries, although they were
much better than usual, a good many
were left. The people either went back
on them, or the supply has been too large.
Primroses also hung back and Christmas
Peppers were very much out of the race.

The sale of wreaths, roping and decora-
tive greens of all sorts beat all former
records, the same can be said for baskets
made up of artificial goods. Poinsettias
in pots and pans probably never were bet-
ter than this time ; a great number passed
hands, but not all were sold.

The weather, up to Saturday morning,
was fine for trade and especially for
shipping, so that the shipping firms can
and do call this a very good Christmas.
The orders from mill and manufacturing
cities and towns showed a falling off, as
might have been expected under the cir-
cumstances, but the shipping concerns,
nevertheless did a grand business.

Monday, Dec. 27, brought about 4in, of
snow and, on top of it, a good rain ; stock
did not come in very fast nor today, Tues-
day, and consequently prices are holding
up. There is enough of everything to go
around. Roses and Carnations have re-
ceded somewhat in price and are ex-
pected to stay at today's quotations for
some time.

Here is where the market scribe wishes
his friends a round of happy and pros-
perous days In the new year.

Saturday, which necessitated his trans-

time of it this last week or two. Not
enough that he had to lug around a
beautiful black eye with a yard or two

to know where he got it (they didn't re-

maintained that he hadn't had any, they
just asked — how come you got pasted;
no jolly, George, tell it straight. The
veritable truth as George tells it is, that
in one of the Hub's celebrated crooked

around the corner and connected with
his optic. The proof is there, so why

Christmas Trade

It was a splendid Christmas as re-
ported from all angles of the trade. Some
even state that it was better than last
year. In face of the general depression
in other lines our business appears most
encouraging. The weather for Christmas
was ideal for the shopper and the stores
benefited thereby. Shipping trade was
extremely heavy, indicating good busi-
ness in other localities. The local market
was liberally supplied with flowers, but
there were few hangovers for Christmas
Day. The local buying commenced on
Wednesday, and grew in strength until
Christmas Eve. Practically every house

in the wholesale district was closed at
noon on Christmas Day. American
Beauty Roses were one of the strong
features of the market ; they were un-
equal to the demand at $18 per doz. on
specials, there being few under that
grade. Roses were the main support of
the market, the heaviest arrivals being
Columbia, Premier and Russell in order
named. The only objection to the Rose
question was that fully 70 per cent of
them were long grades ; never before were
so many long Roses in evidence at Christ-
mas to almost an exclusion of medium
and shorts. This reduced the average on
the long, as the demand was strongest on
the mediums. The supply of reds was
limited to few Hadley and some Rich-
mond. Some few Hadley made $12 per
doz. ; most of them going from 50c. to
75c. Richmond ranged from 25c. to 50c.
Top price on Russell was 75c, but the
majority of them ranged from 35c. to 60c.
Columbia made 30c. to 50c., Premier
from 30e. to 60c., Pilgrim 25c. to 50c.
There was only a limited supply of
Ophelia with the best at 40c. Killaruey
was rather weak in competition with the
newer and heavier varieties and sold at
15c. to 25c. White Killarney was slow,
as was to be expected, and did not realize
over 25c. There were a few Dunlop and
Crusader, very few Wards, scarcely any
Sunburst and Shawyer and a sprinkling
of Butterfly. There was a medium sup-
ply of Carnations with the colored va-
rieties selling up close at 12c. to 15c. on
the ordinary grades. Fancy Wards made
ISc. ; fancy reds and Laddie, 20c. to 25e.
White moved slowly at 12c, and a num-
ber were sold for less. Narcissus was the
poor sister of the market ; starting off
boldly at the beginning of the week at
6c., it finished up unsold at 4c. and some
for less. Orchids were good property at
$1.50 to $2, with an excellent supply.
There was a good supply of Cypripediums
at 25e. to 50c. Violets were shy and
rather inactive at $3 per 100. Some few
late 'Mums found a rather unresponsive
market. The few remaining Pompons took
lively. There was very little call for
Valley, but the few Sweet Peas sold on
sight. There was a good supply of Cal-
endula, somewhat slow, and a limited
amount of white Lilac at $2.50 per bunch.
Easter Lilies were slow at $25 per 100.
Double Stevia sold up well while the old
single tjrpe was slow. Poinsettias were
short of the demand at $3 to $6 per doz.
Asparagus and soft greens were abundant,
but good Holly was scarce and sold at a
premium; it was practically all sold out
by Wednesday. There was a scarcity of
Christmas trees ; these brought unheard
of prices on Christmas Eve. As to

end, the reports are highly gratifying.

largest turnover in the history of their

proximately 25 to 30 per cent.

orations for a large private ball, for that
evening, Monday. The side walls and
balcony were festooned with wild Smi-
lax, while large Bay trees and Firs stood
as sentinels in the background. The
leges and boxes on the balcony were
flanked with Cibotiums and baskets of
Columbia and Premier Roses were sus-
pended from the ceiling, as well as in
waU baskets hung on the marble pil-
lars around the wall. The stage was
hidden behind a bank of palms, ferns and
evergreens intermingled with Begonia
Lorraine. A painted backdrop half hid-
den with Fir trees and Begonias, softened
by skilfully arranged electric lights, made
it a complete fairyland. The Benedicts

The Market

Dec. 27. — ^A detailed report of the
Christmas market is not possible at this
writing, but from general observations
up to the closing of the market Friday
evening, the wholesalers all enjoyed a
good trade. Just now much better or if
as good as the past year is not yet de-
termined.

There are some features of the mar-
ket, however, that are worthy of note,
and that is that established prices for
the week remained firm to the end. There
may be some exceptions ; extra fancy
Hoses listed at $75 per 100 were finally
disposed of at $50. This was necessary
.from the fact that the bulk of the Kose
demand was for medium grade stock, the
high prices of the fancy grades being a
.barrier to sales. To meet the demand
for medium priced stock and fearing to
hold on to the maximum price with the
market drawing to a close there was a
relaxation in prices of fancy stock only.
Short and medium stock remained firm.

The prices obtained one year ago were
relatively higher than the prices of the
week's market just closed. A year ago
purchasers paid higher prices without
a murmur, this year, prices, while not as

high, were more freely complained of.
The volume of business was greater, how-
ever, and it is believed when the final
accounting is done, the market will com-
pare favorable with the previous year.
There was a general cleanup of aU good
stock in everything available, there was,
however, some stock growers had held on
too long that was not in condition to
move, only at slightly reduced prices to
local trade.

Carnations were notably scarce and
firm in price to the close of the market.
All late orders where the filling was op-
tional, Roses took the place of Carna-
tions. There was not much else to be
had excepting a few Pompon Chrysan-
themums and Lilies. Sweet Peas were
short as well as Violets. There were a
good many Paperwhite and Grand Soliel
d'Or Narcissus, all of which moved at
list prices.

All the wholesalers filled their Rose or-
ders in full, but some Carnation orders
went out short. The shipping trade was
heavier than usual, but the local buying
not quite as heavy ; smaller buyers were
afraid to buy in quantities owing to
prices. Valley and Cattleyas all cleared
at list prices. There were not so many
Poinsettias as in past years and, for this
reason, there was a general clearing of
all this stock.

By Wire to The Florists' Exchange
Dec. 29, 1920.

When the wholesalers computed
their Christmas business on Monday last,
after a full survey of the many incidents
that always transpire on such an occa-
sion, no one was dissatisfied. With some
the Christmas business showed an in-
crease ; with others it was just about as
good ; while with still others it did not quite
come up to expectations. To those who
compared the business of the present
Christmas with that of 1919, it was not
quite as good in many respects. How-
ever, the business of one year ago was
of such volume and transacted under con-
ditions not likely to be repeated for many
years ; there could be, in comparison, a
slight falling off, and stUl be highly sat-
isfactory. Conditions now and one year
ago are different ; hence comparisons
prove but little. There are those pessi-
mistic enough to say that there will
never again be another Christmas as good
as the Christmas of 1919, for which rea-
sons all comparisons should be eliminated.
Under the new conditions, now so gen-
erally accepted, the market was highly
satisfactory. The shipping business was
in volume as large as ever and prices in
the main held up well until the close of
i the shipping trade. There was a gen-
I eral cleanup, with the exception of some
stock in Roses held too long to be of real
value for Christmas shoppers. Complaints
; of pickled stock are quite general and

the loss occasioned thereby will naturally
go to where it properly belongs.

The local buying was not as active as
on former years, retailers stocking up
with plants as being more suitable for
holiday offerings and buying but spar-
ingly of cut fiowers. Snow and almost a
zero spell starting Friday interfered with
late shipping and gave the retailers much
trouble in making deliveries. On the
whole, retailers did well; the volume of
business was larger than a year ago with
many and could the same prices be real-
ized, profits would be greater. One
prominent retailer did the largest busi-
ness in the history of his house, but failed
to realize on same in proportion to the
profits of one year ago. Flowers were
more plentiful than plants, with some ex-
ceptions, the demand for both being about
equally divided.

News Notes

Ella Grant Wilson has begun publicity
work and was successful in getting an
excellent article in the Ewaminer Dec. 24.

The next meeting of the Chicago Flor-
ists Club will be held at the Randolph
Hotel Thursday evening, Jan. 6, when
the new officers for the ensuing year will
be duly installed.

Wm. Snjflier, assistant manager to
T. E. Waters in the supply department
of the Poehlmann Bros. Co., on the oc-
casion of his recent marriage, was pre-
sented with a handsome chest of silver
by the employees of the house as a
Christmas offering. Mr. and Mrs. Sny-
der fully appreciate the gift and the good
spirit in which it was presented.

According to Paul Klingsporn, the Chi-
cago Flower Growers had the best Christ-
mas trade on record. This institution
has assumed wonderful proportions dur-
ing the past five years, under his superior
management.

Allie Zech of Zech & Mann report an
entirely satisfactory Christmas; the
shipping trade in particular. Severe
weather interfered to some extent with
local buying on Friday and Saturday
morning, or more local business might
have been accomplished.

The Xmas Wholesale Market

AU the wholesale men report a most
satisfactory Christmas business, 'with a
general cleanup along all tines. With the
possible exceptions of American Beauty and
Violets, there was enough good stock to go
around. In fact, a few Carnations, mostly
white, were loft over, together with some
Narcissus Paperwhite. Aside .from these,
everything else was sold. All report a big
demand for Poinscttia both cut and in pans.
More double and single Violets could have
been sold; the New York doubles were ex-
ceptionally fine this year, but some of the
shipments missed connections, arriving by
post after the rush was over. Local singles
were also of fine quality, but not nearly
enough. Local orchids were in good supply,
with Trianae at the top, and in splendid
demand.

Blooming plants sold up clean, while foli-
age plants and medium and large ferns were
in good demand.

American Beauty Roses were stiff in price
and not too plentiful; the best at SIS per
doz. Fancy Premier and Columbia sold at
60c., while Ophelia, Richmond, Double
White Killarney, Shawj-er and Butterfly in
long and medium grades, found a ready mar-
ket^at 20c. to 40c. Sweetheart was in de-
mand too. Carnations were in good crop,
and some fancy long stock brought as high
as 18c. Some excellent grade flowers sold
as low as 12c.; some white were left over.
Valley was offered at 15c. but the demand
was not great. Probably more Cattleyas
were sold than ever before and the local
stock met all comers. Double and single
Violets were scarce; S3 per 100 was the price.
Gardenias were from out of town and fancy
Igrade flowers sold at S9 per doz. Cut Poin-
jsettia ranged in price from S3 to S6 per doz.
I We understand some extra fancy sold at
$7.50. Sweet Peas were on the short side;
itbe top price was So per 100, with the shorter
grades S3 and S4. Narcissus Paperwhite
lalmost at your own price, though some report
j4e., 6c. and 8c. in the early rush. Plenty of
Stevia and it was sold.

_ Asparagus, Smilax and all green goods were
m good supply with the exception of Holly.

A,inong the Retailers

The retail stores all agree to a great
week of business, and that it was a record
breaker in regard to volume of sales. Prices
Were sufficiently good, not too high, with a
generous supply along almost every line.
The Xmas stock was so well cleaned up that
most of the store buyers were on the lookout
for flowers to fill early funeral orders the
first thing Monday morning.

The satisfying point is, that all the stores
bad all the business they could possibly
pandle; there is no difference of opinion as to
chat. Some say it was a cut flower Christ-
inas, while others claim plants sold best.
'\part from the Violet shortage, there was
aot a word of complaint among the store
plks.

I Plant baskets, made up foliage pans, win-
low boxes and individual specim,en Poin-
iettias, Begonias, Cyclamen and Primulas
pd an unusually strong run this season and
uUy equal to former years. In F. T. D.
Jircles the volume of incoming business was
Teat, while the outgoing wires were far in
bccess of usual Xmas business.
, Roses were undoubtedly the real leader
^d it is acknowledged that American Beauty
a the Baltimore market, has, for many
ears been a fixture. This season Premier
las given this grand old favorite a rough
lush. Now don't understand me to say
aat there wasfeiot a goodly lot of Am. Beauty
bid, nevertheless, Premier is coming into
IS own.

I It is very noticeable the vast increase in
he dried flower work for the cemeteries this
lear; never before was so much Ruscus,
itatice. Immortelles, Oak foliage, MagnoUa
f&vea and the hke used in this city, and the
fiade up crosses and wreaths from the
apply houses were artistic and sold almost
a sight. Truly the anticipated rush of
■ade was fully up to expectations.
'ews Notes

I The window decorations of all the

ower stores were particularly well done this
Jason and some very beautiful combinations
fere noticed ; Robert L. Graham, Jr., featured
I woodland snow scene that was both real
pd artistic, with electric fight effects at
ight.

• Wm. F. Ekas, manager of The Baltimore
Wholesale Florists and Supply Co., reports
pe greatest volume of business ever enjoyed
iy the company at Xmas.

Isaac H. Mosa, Inc., at Goban's, staged a
Jft. Norway Spruce alongside the office as
Christmas offering to friends and customers.
Iwas wired with different colored electric
?hts. The effect of this tremendous tree at
ight was very beautiful.

Samuel Feast & Sons had some specimen
oinsettia and Cyclamen in perfect foliage

and flower. They report wonderful business.
Wm. F. Keys, Jr., enjoyed a splendid
business. Plants sales were about equal to
cut flowers.

John Cook's Heather plants were especi-
ally well grown this year, and his Begonias
were_ in fine shape. Miss Cook reports more
orchids and Gardenias sold this year than
usual.

Stevenson Bros. Roses were as usual just
right for the holidays. We cannot begin to
tell how many thousands cut, but it was
some cluster, when bunched at the Leo
Niessen Co.

J. A. Ritter & Son speak of a great nan on
Begonia Cincinnati and large Poinsettia
pans. A most satisfactory week and best
Xmas ever.

Mary Patterson Johnston reports the best
business ever entertained by the firm.
Plant baskets had a great call, while cut |
flowers sold right up to the "no more left"
sign.

Lehr Bros.' Premier Rosea handled by
Sieck & GUck were never better; the long
fancy grade almost equal to American
Beauty. Lehr'a had, too, a big cut of all the
other varieties.

Holly was very poor and very scarce about
town.

Judging from every report received so far,
we figure the greatest volume of trade ever
enjoyed by the retail stores. Good weather,
cut flower supply right except Violets, plant
sales never better, good firm prices and
everybody happy.

Come on New Year with your brightest,
happiest and moat prosperous outlook.

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you. I
think every seed germinated and the blooms were
the finest ever seen in this part of Canada. Only
about 8% of the plants could be classed as com-
mon. . I want more of the same quaUty each year."
Mr. Rudolf Nagel, LancMter, Pa., under date of

Heating a Greenhouse

I am just completing a greenhouse
SOft.xlOft., 10ft. high at gable with 5ft.
concrete walls. Will it be practical to
run one main overhead with two returns
under each bench. The latter will be
about 4ft. wide, I want to heat the
house with hot water at a temperature
of 55 to 60 deg. when outside is at zero.
—J. J. M., Scotia, N. T.

The greenhouse you describe would
have equivalent to about 835 sq. ft. of
exposed glass surface, and to maintain a
temperature of 55 to 60 deg. at night
when mercury outside is at zero, would
require about 278 sq. ft. of hot water
radiation. A 21^1". overhead main and
four lines of 2in. pipe under each side of
bench would give the radiation required
for the above temperature.

Calendars Received

Julius Reck, Bridgeport, Conn. — Il-
lustrated with a Winter view in colors;
in the foreground water and snow with
a tracked path leading to a village church
in the distance.

Quite out of the usual is the receipt of
a calendar from Baartman & Koning, Sas-
senheim, Holland, bulb growers and ex-
porters. Quite naturally the spare spaces
on the calendar are filled with the adver-
tising of the firm, but the remarkable
thing about it is that it takes note
throughout the various months of all of
our American holidays, even including
St. Patrick's Day, although it slips up on
Election Day. The calendar is 15^in,
wide and lOin. deep allowing for the use
of large figures.

One Way Motor Plows

"Commerce Reports" announce that a
one-way motor plow has appeared upon
the British market. It is said to be a
successful model and others are antici-
pated. As is well known, the one-way
plow is specially valuable on fairly small
areas where headland spaces have to be
curtailed. Further, it is easier to find
labor capable of following a one-way plow
as the operator works on one furrow
only. In England this form of horse-
plow has long been in use.

The one-way motor plow consists of
six breast plows, three being suspended
from each end of the carriage. The work-
ing of the machine is a succession of
forward and return movements without
turns, much on the lines of the steam
plowing as formerly worked by cables
from stationary engines.

Wide houses make big gables. To be good gables they must be held
rigid and not cast too much shade. Notice the steel posts— six in all, not
counting the corner posts.

All these posts go down below the frost line to a concrete base, then up
through the cement wall and are bolted to the steel and roof rafters.

Being held firmly top and bottom, the point that would spring is therefore
in the middle.

The middle line is just about over the top of the doors at the first gable
purlin.

At this point we put diagonal braces, extending from the intersection of
the first purlin and posts to the intersection of the roof purlins and rafters.

The gable, therefore, can neither blow in nor blow out, and is what we
started out to get — a rigid gable.

Be Big Enough To Build Small

I know of a fellow (I reckon you know
him, too), who, for several years wouldn't
buy a car, because he had a Packard appe-
tite and a Ford pocketbook.

One day, however, he suddenly woke up
and said: "What a fool am I. The thing
for me to do is cut my clothes according to
my cloth." Now he has his Packard, but
he still swears by his little old car.

Right now there are a lot of growers who
want to build iron frame houses. Big ones.
They haven't the money, nor can it be
easily borrowed right now. Still, they
couLO build a moderate-sized iron house.

But all the time they are thinking of that
big house of J. W. Davis, for instance,
which is so big he ploughs with horses.

Still, "J. W." started with little houses.
So little, in fact, that you could put all of
them inside of half of one of his big houses
and still Jiavg^room for a game of ball.

If you can't build a big Packard house,
build a Buick. If you can't build a Buick,
get a Ford, and be making money faster,
so you can the sooner have that big house
of ours you want.

When you want to talk building, say
when and where, and we'll be there.

usiness and Education in Partnership

Field in wliicli Cooperation offers Unlimited
Possibilities for the Good of All

Alter haviiis afforded our readers a little time in
Imh to reread and digest the proposal concerning the
se t.l tile S. A. F. Permanent Fund for educational
urposes, as presented in The Exchange of Dec. 11,
e have recently sent out a questionnaire asking for
lecific comments and criticisms of the plan. With the
c.ipt of anssvcrs to our letter we hope to have valuable
Ml. rial wherewith to start a vigorous, productive dis-
iis.sujn— a discussion that may, perchance, bring about
ome definite action in connection with this important
ubjcct.

Meantime it is interesting to note, in another column
if the present issue, reference to a plan whereby the
\merican Association of Nurserymen is to cooperate
vith certain educational institutions in providing train-
ng facilities and opportunities for young men who de-
,ire to learn the nursery business. The details of this
reoperation are not given, but may be obtained from
Secretary Watson, and it would seem an excellent thing
f members of the S. A. F. who incline toward some
.imilar solution of the problem of educating the florists
jf the future, were to find out all about the nursery-
men's scheme and see wherein it offers features that
hey. too, might adopt.

Insofar as the nursery and florist trades actually over-
lap as representative phases of the parent industry of
aorticulture, it is not far-fetched to conceive of some
possible combination of interests and efforts whereby
the ioint resources and council of the two businesses
could be used to institute and maintain even broader
and more effective training machinery. Indeed, we can
conceive, in these days of progressive cooperation, that
even the seed interests and possibly such commercial
lines as greenhouse and oiler concerns, farm and gar-
den implement makers, and the like, may eventually
realize the benefits of preparing the workers of to-
morrow so they can render the best possible account
of themselves and of their stewardship.

There is plenty of precedent pointing to the value of
education as viewed by industrial and commercial in-
terests. But few industries can be found that have not
organized on a larger or smaller scale departments of
education, of research, of popular information or of
all three combined, and placed in charge of them skilled,
experienced experts of national repute. Indeed, the
drafting of professors and investigators from our edu-
cational institutions into purely commercial activities
along similar lines has from time to time occasioned
much comment and emphasized the need of higher
salaries for the teaching profession.

I The real milk in the cocoanut, however, is the faqt

I that the future progress and success of every industry

■ depends upon the intelligence and training, as well as

the industry, of those who are to carry it on. This

means the adequate, systematic, practical training of

young men — and women — in all details of their business,

and the legitimate assistance of those deserving indi-

, viduals who desire such training but cannot, for the

time being, pay for it. Also it means that the very

trades that promote such measures and possibilities will

I benefit most from their existence and results.

It is gratifying to note that President Roland in his
greeting to the S. A. F. calls attention to the opportuni-
ties offered by the horticultural industry and mentions
the value of "scientific study and research" in this
field. We take this as a favorable augury in behalf
of some such movement as our article of Dec. 11 had
1 in mind. We sincerely hope that the idea will be given
] serious thought by every member of the trade who
1 really has the future of that trade at heart.

Bulb Growing in Holland Today

('Ihriiiic/li the cuurl,-sy of 1'. Rynvcld i'r Sous of
.Vi'tt' i'ork, ICC are enabled lo present the folhm'imj iii-
leresliny report on the siliialion eonfrontiny bulb yrow-
ers oj ilalUnid. zvritten by one of them at the request of
Mr. Rynvcld. )

"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden Daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees.
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

"Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line,
-Along the margin of a tiay.
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
■Tossing their heads in sprightly dance."

— Acknowledgments to W. Wordsworth.

If the poet could be inspired by the sight of a mere
ten thousand Narcissi, imagine his delight at seeing
the bulb gardens in Holland, where, in Springtime, his
eye would behold a hundred, nay, a thousand times ten
thousand blooms, in endless fields, clad with colors of
every possible description and variation.

Does the grower of these bulbs look at his flowers
with the same feeling, you ask. Being a practical, mat-
ter-of-fact struggler for existence, he certainly views
his stock with no less interest. During his entire life
he has been constantly in closest contact with Nature,
from which he has derived a taste and appreciation for
beauty. Nevertheless, the thought that dwells upper-
most in his mind is ; "How am I to make a Jiving out
of these beauties of Nature; how am I to meet the ever-
increasing expenses of my business"? The following
comparisons will plainly show that his difficulties are
not imaginary: In 1914, a laborer earned 12 guilders
a week, now he gets 27. In 1914, a cubic yard of ma-
nure cost 4 guilders, now it costs 12. In 1914, a bundle
of thatch (rushes), used to protect the bulbs against
frost, cost 9c., now the same amount costs 24c. And
so it goes.

On top of this, the Inevitable labor question adds its
quota to his troubles. This all important matter which,
at present, is setting by far the greater part of the
civihzed world in a turmoil, has not left little Holland
untouched. In fact, if the writer is not mistaken, the
government of The Netherlands was the first of all to
understand the feeling and views of the laboring classes
in general. A short time ago, an act was passed by
both the legislative chambers, calling for a forty-five
hour labor week.

To say that this measure entirely upsets the bulb
grower's program is putting it mildly. From time im-
memorial, the business has demanded his steady atten-
tion from morning until night. Although the cares and
worries of the bulb grower have for some time been
continually accumulating, since the first of October,
1930, his helpers have been putting aside their imple-
ments daily as soon as the legal number of work hours
has passed, allowing their employer during the rest of
the daylight hours to drink in the beauty of his fields by
himself, while, at the same time, he may figure out for
himself how his work is to be finished.

To be sure, the above-mentioned law does not affect
the man who is not in paid service; for which reason
there is nothing to hinder our bulb gr.ower from going
to his daily task as soon as he is awakened in the morn-
ing by An Early Crow-cuss.

Directory of Trade and Allied Organizations

Pages 20, 21 and a portion of page 30, issue of Jan. 1,
were devoted to a Directory of Trade and Allied Or-
ganizations, the publication of which illustrates far
more clearly than words could do it, the importance of
the industries we represent. In 1921, we list some 113
national societies, florist clubs and miscellaneous trade
organizations. This is 36 more than in 1920 when the
number we published was 77. So it will be seen that

' our present list is to be looked upon as fairly com-
plete. There were 11 new societies formed during the

'■ year, so far as our records go, six of which were
branches of the National Flower Growers Association.
While this list should be particularly valuable to all sec-

: retaries of the various societies, it should be equally
valuable to thousands of our readers who, through the

' presentation, are placed in a position to identify the
men at the head and front of all organized effort
throughout the country — the men tci whom we look for
guidance and who are expected to lead us in advancing
horticultural interests throughout the year 1921.

Used in a business way, this list again has a value
of its own.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society

The inaugural meeting of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society for the year 1921 will be held at Horti-
cultural Hall, Massachusetts ave., Boston, at 2 p.m. on
Saturday, Jan. 8. William Endicott, the retiring presi-
dent, will deliver a parting address and will make cer-
tain recommendations for the future work of the society.
Albert C. Burrage, the incoming president, will make a
brief plea for the exotic.

The annual reports of the board of trustees, the sec-
retary, the treasurer and the reports of the chairmen of
the various committees will be submitted. About 3
o'clock. Dr. Frank E. Bennett will give a half-hour talk
assisted with stereopticon pictures, descriptive of the re-
markably successful work of the Horticultural Society
of St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada, of which he is presi-
dent, and which has done so much to make this thrivinar
little city occupy a large space on the horticultural map
of North America.

He will be followed by a half-hour address by Ernest
K. 'Thomas of Kingston. R. I., secretary of the Rhode
Island Horticultural Society and the man who has had
charge of the extension work of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the Rhode Island State
Agricultural College. He has built up a State-wide
organization, embracing the school, men's clubs, Cham-
bers of Commerce, granges, agricultural and horticul-
tural associations etc., which is exerting a remarkable
influence upon the people and children of Rhode Island.

The meeting is free and members of the society and
all others interested are cordially invited to attend.

Boston's Flower Markets

The Sunday Herald of Boston recently gave a goodly
portion of a page to an article headed "Center of New
England Flower Industry in Heart of Boston," and of
market conditions generally, said ;

Tons of flowers move through Wiiithrop Sciuare every day,
and yet, curiously enough, but few Boston people know that
the center of the flower industry in New England is to be
found here in the heart of Boston. That is partly due, per-
haps, to the fact that the bulk of the business is done in the
early morning, long before the average commuter has reached
his place of business. The flowers come in by early trains or
by delivery wagons, and are ready for the buyers soon after
dawn.

There really are two markets in the si-iuare, both of which
cover a large amount of floor space. These markets are divided
into stalls, which are rented by the year, and here the growers
or their representatives receive the flowers each morning
and dicker with the buyers, who come from retail estabUsh-
ments throughout Greater Boston, and even from points 50
to 100 miles away. "Then in a few hours the flowers which
have come in take their departure again, so that by noon the
benches are pretty well cleared off.

All Sales Are at Wholesale

It must be remembered that all of this selling is strictly
wholesale. Big signs impart the information that no flowers
can be sold at retail on penalty of punishment for the salesman
who violates the rule. The Boston Flower Market does a
business of a million doUars a year. It has 50 stalls, which
are disposed of at auction, and a manager, W. J. Thurston,
keeps the business running smoothly every week-day from
January to December. A tremendous volume^ of flowers
has passed through these markets during the hoUday season.
Flowers seem to have been favorite gifts, and milUons of
blooms have found their way from the greenhouses through
the medium of the markets to offices and homes.

Besides the big markets already mentioned, Winthrop
Square is filled with private estabhshments (wholesale florists)
which handle flowers on commission, and which send Roses,
Carnations and other blossoms to places as far away as
Montreal and Buffalo, with consignments for the smaller
cities along the route. The business of the Square is not
confined to natural flowers, either, for thousands of artificial
blooms are also marketed there.

"Then there is a big business in wreaths, baskets and all
sorts of accessories such as florists use. Much of the material
used comes from distant points. Henry M. Robinson, who
probably knows more about this line of trade than anybody
else in Boston, says that thousands of pounds of red Ruscus
are imported every year from Italy, wfnle as much more red
roping comes from Japan. The Ruscus is a vegetable material
which is dyed to give it decorative value, and the roping is
made from fibre. According to Mr. Robinson, Cycas leaves,
which are used in immense quantities by florists for wreaths
and other articles, used to go to Germany from Japan, where
the palms grow, to be prepared for the market, but since the
war these leaves have been brought direct to this country.
Something hke three milUon come to Boston every year.

Further, the paper went into descriptions of several
of the noted greenhouse ranges aroundabout Boston,
mentioning among other things that Thomas Roland of
Nahant, Mass., has three of the largest houses in New
England, where tons of Roses are grown each season,
and also that Mr. Roland is now president of the S. A.
F. and O. H., which office had previously been held by
several Boston men, among them Michael H. Norton,
P. Welch, John K. M. L. Farquhar and William J.
Stewart.

The article mentions C. S. Strout of Biddeford, Me.,
who is a famous Carnation grower, saying that in
former years he was a school teacher, and notes many
other prominent florists and growers.

Articles of this caHbre are of decided benefit in help-
ing along the florist industry, inasmuch as this one con-
fined itself to facts, without the usual frills which the
majority of outside writers think it necessary to tack
on in order to make their material of interest to their
readers.

Does the Pioneer Alway Get^Itjn^the^^Neck?

Anent the recent encouraging articles on the economy
of heating by oil in recent issues of The Exchange,
we are reminded of the efforts put forth in that direc-
tion by the late Charles W. Ward when he was at
Queens, N. Y. That gentleman installed two large boil-
ers under which the oil flames played, presenting a pic-
ture which reminded one forcibly of some writers' imag-
inations of what Hades looks like. At that time there
was a spur of the Long Island road which passed
through Mr. Ward's place, just alongside the green-
houses, so the cost of transportation was economical in
the extreme. A contract was entered into for the oil,
but just as quickly as it was demonstrated that it was
a real economy over coal (both commodities much lower
than today) the price of the oil unaccountably went up
and up; went up so far, in fact, that Mr. Ward had to
abandon its consumption and revert back to coal fuel.

See America First. — This story may have appeared before.
At a convention of the S. A. F. a person stepped up to one
of the leading members of the society and said; "Excuse me,
but I am curious to know what those letters mean," (referring
to the S. A. F. button). He was told that they were used to
designate the Society American Florists. "O ! " he said, "I
though it meant See America first! "

Notes from Abroad

Christmas i^ now close upon us and
the harassed seedsman looks forward to a
few days' repose, snatched from the
period of his greatest activity. At the
same time he envies his more fortunate
contemporary in other callings who can
take a day or so extra, without feeling
tlie strain of subsequent overwork.

The tlorists as usual are doing their
share in the general festive decoration,
and as far as mistletoe is concerned, have
a plentiful stock to draw upon, as there
is an unparalleled glut in Covent Gar-
den of this article so indispensable for
Christmas amenities. Holly is much less
abundant, and not over well berried this
year. Chrysanthemums are on the wane
and the appearance of forced flowers —
Lilacs, Hyacinths, Tulips, Ranunculus and
Lily of the Valley — show that the Winter
is wearing on.

The wholesale houses are busy complet-
ing their general catalogues, in fact, one
or two have already appeared and, in
this matter, continental nouses are, as
customary, somewhat ahead in point of
time. Central Europe is coming once more
to the fore in something like pre-war
style, l3ut for general get up and effective-
ness, those of Great Britain will easily
hold their own on this side of the At-
lantic.

How will the new season turn out?
Opinions in general, do not seem to re-
flect a very roseate hue, but a note of
optimism was recently struck on your
side, so let us hope that this will go
on crescendo and herald in a further time
of prosperity for the seed trade the
world over.

I take this opportunity, Mr. Editor, of
wishing you and your readers a very
happy and prosperous New Year.

Transatlantic Seedsman.

Dec. 21, 1920.

many kinds of seeds indicates that the
beginning of seed selling season is not far
away.

Mr. Thomas, of Ralph M. Ward & Co.,
in a recent conversation with a represen-
tative of The Exchange, took an optimis-
tic view of the business outlook as far
as Lily bulbs are concerned and said that
his company was looking forward, to a
good year's business in hoth Lilies and
such other bulbs as it handles.

We note this week a large display of
rustic bird houses in different sizes and
shapes in the window of the spacious
store of Stumpp & Walter Co., 30-32 Bar-
clay St. This stimulating and encourag-
ing of bird life close to our homes and
gardens is certainly to be highly com-
mended and it is well within the province
and scope of the seedsmen to do what-
ever they can in so worthy a cause.

As we make the round of our calls at
the several seed stores this week we see
the members of the traveling force pacic-
ing their kits and making ready to go out
among those who use seeds, bulbs, etc., to
book orders; we hear also of a large num-
ber of the travelers who have already
taken to the ti'ail.

H. 0. Neubrand, well known travel-
ing salesman, has joined the force of
R. J. Irwin, 43 West 18th st. He has
been assigned to a section of the wide
territory covered by this firm.

Cooper, Taber & Co. Ltd., London, Eng.,
advise ns that F. B. Dawson, -who until
recentlj] acted as their representative in
the United States, is no longer in their"
employ, and request that all communica-
tions be mailed direct to the company in
London, 90-92 Southwark st., where same
will receive prompt and careful attention.

New York Seed Trade

Displays in seed store windows and the
labor now being expended throughout the
stores themselves this week both indicate
the passing of the Autumn and holiday
trade and the preparation for the seed ]
trade that usually opens up in early
Spring. The seedsmen's advertisements
in this paper also point in the same di-
rection, for flower and vegetable seeds for
early planting are being ofltered, and also
Summer flowering bulbs. Furthermore,
it will be noted in most of the wholesale
and trade advertisements appearing in
this paper, that the items of stock ap-
pear with prices attached. From some
trade journals advertisements with prices
attached are excluded for reasons which
these journals, we suppose, consider suffi-
cient. The columns of The Florists' Ex-
change, on the other hand, are always
available for advertisements with at-
tached prices.

Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers st., have
just off the press their list of 1921 seed
novelties. This is largely made up of
flower seeds, but there are several new
varieties of vegetable seeds also. The list
is too long to give entire, but it includes
Antirrhinums, Asters, Calceolarias, Ma-
lopes, Statice, Double Crested Cosmos,
Lobelias, Lupines, Poppies, Primulas,
Streptocarpus, Sweet Peas, Zinnias, etc.,
and a dozen vegetables.

Among the travelers for Vaughan's
Seed Store who have started out on the
trail this week for ordei's are Edward
Boylan and Allen Edminister. The dis-
play, in the windows of this store, of

Chicago Seed Trade

The full traveling forces of all the
seed houses who spent the holidays in
the city are leaving this week for their
respective territories on the road. It is
believed another good season for the trade
has opened, judging from advance orders
for seeds of various kinds for early plant-
ing.

The Association of Official Seed
Analysts of North America held its third
annual convention at the Congress Hotel
Dec. 27 to 29. Prominent seedsmen from
various parts of the country were present,
and a number of excellent papers were
read and discussed.

There was never a time when such
a large number of Holland bulb sales-
men were present in Chicago as now.
High prices in America for the past few
years Is a great incentive to their solici-
tation. Much difl'iculty is however found
by them in booking orders. A combina-
tion of about 33 well knoAvm Chicago
growers has recently been formed for
the avowed purpose of not placing their
orders for bulbs until after Easter. It
is believed the anxiety on the part of
the visitors to book Immediately may
bring back normal prices; the growers
are willing to take a chance, believing
the market will be more favorable to
buyers a few months later.

The American Bulb Company is pre-
paring for a big season. Guy W. French,
who is representing the company on the
Pacific Coast, is turning in some good
business. President Miller reports the
movement of several carloads 01 Cannas,
and believes it will be a good season for
sale of same.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports an early
demand for ^^arious lines of (lower seed
for immediate planting. M. K. Smith,
formerly with the W. W. Barnard Co.,
and more recently with the Madson Seed
Co., Manitowoc, Wis., has connected him-
self with this house in the sales promotion
department. Mr. Smith is a seedsman of
i-ipe experience and has many friends in
the trade.

sues ago, the following story clipped from
the Evening iSun (New York) is of inter-
est. We learn, furthermore, that one of
ihe Sunday jjupcis has requusted permis-
.sion to take jtliotographs uf the A\indow
with a view to running an illustrated
'fv-ature story. Incidentally tlie interest
of passersby continues and it is a dull
time when several cannot be found gaz-
ing at the pans and flats of seedlings
vigorously starting into growth under
the weird ravs of the bhied, uitiugun
bulb.

Beans Are Grown By Electricity

Store Window Garden Is

Warmed By Current.

They are now raising beans by the aid
of electricity. A seed store on Barclay st.
is making tlie experiment and it has at-
tracted considerable attention from pass-
ing commuters, who are more or less
amateur gardeners.

In the window of the store is a cold-
frame, probably three feet square. When
it was placed in position a short time ago
it was the cause of a bit of speculation,
especially the blue electric light burning
in front of the frame. A tliermometer
placed in the box later revealed the
secret. It was apparent that seeds had
been planted, for the coldframe contained
moistened soil.

Presently the earth showed signs of
cracking and soon the green stems and
small leaves poked their way through.
They are now about an inch high and
growing daily. The temperature is kept
at about 80 degrees and the light burns
day and night.

International Potato Conference

Further details regarding the proposed
Potato Exposition and Conference, to be
held in London on November 16, 17 and
lb, 1921, under the auspices of the Royal
Horticultural Society and the British
Ministry of Agriculture, are to hand. It
is felt that owing to the importance of
the Potato crop throughout the world,
the time has come when an inter-
national conference can usefully discuss
Potato problems.

The exhibition and conference will be
held at the R. H. S, hall, and it is ex-
pected that the National Potato Society
will take part. Invitations to delegates
from all countries are being sent out, and
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has already agreed to send dele-
gates and an exhibit of American varieties
of Potatoes.

In regard to the latter, it is to be hoped
that special attention will be given the
selection and the cleansing of the tubers.
Rough, unshapely, overlarge or dirty Po-
tatoes are little likely to create a favor-
able impression at British shows where
Potato exhibits are made a fine art.

WindowJlDisplay Wins Publicity

As an illustration of the success of the
electric lighted coldframe featured in the
ivindow display of J. C. Thorburn & Co.
of New York City and noted in the New
York Seed Trade coumns of a few is-

The "Right Way" Plan

Shippers in every industry using ex-
press service will be asked to cooperate
in the "Right Way" plan, a new educa-
tional movement about to be inaugurated
in the express business by the American
Railway Express Co.

Special emphasis is to be laid on what
is called "Starting express shipments
right," in which shippers will he asked
to give special attention to complete and
accurate addressing of shipments and to
the packing rules laid down in the ex-
press classification authorized by the In-
terstate Commerce Commission.

The carrier announces that having re-
ceived shipments turned over to it in
proper condition for shipping, it proposes
to see that while in its hands all business
will be carefully guarded and expeditious-
ly handled to destination. Numerous plac-
ards and pamphlets detailing correct
shipping methods will be distributed to ex-
press users.

Clover Seed Threshing

While the above subject has no special
bearing on horticulture, ingenuity dis-
played in regard to it is worth recording.
At Springfield, 111., a machine for thresh-
ing the seed as the plants stand in the
field has been invented, and a trial at
Blanchard, North Dakota, gave very good
results. The machine will thresh 15 acres
a day without cutting the plants, the tops
of which are bent over and beaten so
that the seed is removed and blown into
a conveyor as it proceeds. Four horses
are required to work the machine.

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. — Burpee's Annual.
1921. This distinctive and original seed catalog
compares favorably with its predecessors. Golden
Bantam Sweet Com is depicted in color on the
front cover, while the back cover shows a spray
of the striking, new early flowering Sweet Pea,
Glitters. Sixteen full page color plates are embodied
in the catalog, while most of the green vege-
tables are shown in color as are several of the
annual flowers. Novelties are not, perhaps,
so numerous as usual. Among vegetables,
Burpee's Half Long Beet is the only item put for-
ward as new. Among flowers. Sweet Peas lead the
way. Not only are the finest and latest British
introductions prominently described and illustrated
in color, but in proof that America is not entirely
neglecting the late or Summer flowering type, the
firm offers two novelties in this class, namely,
Rosalind, a rich rose-crimson, and Improved
Margaret Atlee. In addition four early flowering
novelties are offered, namely. Peach Blossom, pink;
Flamingo, orange-salmon; Lemon Beauty, deep
cream, and Glitters, orange scarlet. The Cactus
flowered Zinnia is another flower seed novelty.
Two Peony-flowered Dahlia novelties are featured,
namely. Coppersmith and Fordhook, maroon; both
attracted much attention last Fall. Jean Kerr, the
wonderful white for florists is also given due
prominence. Special seed collections at reduced
prices, appear to be given greater prominence than
usual. It is worthy of note, too, that pricesiof
many seeds have been considerably reduced.Jtl

number of vegetables and flowers, including many

Zinnias, Petunias, Verbenas and Dwarf Alyssum.
Flower seeds for florists are given prominence and
one's attention to things of importance is attracted
by the several pink insets. Among vegetables we
note hybridized Potato seed is offered. Plants for
florists' use, Summer flowering bulbs, including
Lilies and Dahlias, an sundries also receive much
attention.

M. G. Tyler, Denver ave., Portland, Ore. —
Mastick Dahlias have a reputation and the small

A New Hardy G)m

A news note from Calgary, Alberta
Canada, announces that a local plan
breeder has produced a new sort of ez
ceptionally early and hardy Corn. Th.
new variety or type is a cross betweei
sweet Corn and squaw Corn, and desir
able in that it retains the sweetness o
the former, matures from a week to tei
days earlier, and exhibits the character
istic hardness of the squaw Corn.

The Week at the Capital

Good business for 1921 is forecasted bj
Secretary of Commerce Joshua W. Alex*;
ander in a review of the present Bituatioi»
and the influences which will afEeCh
America's trade, both at home ancc
abroad, during the year.

"From my vantage point in the De-
partment of Commerce I have become B<t
thoroughly convinced that business is ali
last finding its permanent level that I d(u
not believe that I am running the slight
est risk in predicting that business wiii
be revived and that prosperity will smilr
upon American industry and trade befor*-
the new year has passed on," declared thtn
secretary in an interview with the Wash-
ington representative of The Flobibts'
Exchange.

*'I am not alone in my opinion. Some
of the very biggest men of business havf
been optimistic enough to announce ii
public that the next 30 days or six weeks
will bring relief from the general busi-
ness and industrial depression now being
experienced not only in the United States
but in practically all countries. The ex-
pressed beliefs of prominent men of this
type are not haphazard guesses ; they
represent honest conviction supplemented
by wide business experience and usually
follow a thorough investigation of condi-
tions.

"I feel that we are now past the period
of overnight trade upheavals, and that
future changes in commodity prices and
values will be much more gradual until
they finally settle down to an accepted
standard which will be recognized as fair
and reasonable by all. When this takes
place, and I think that it will take place
for most trades during 1921, the buyers
wUl again enter the markets and buy in
seasonable quantities, for they will not
be afraid of having a large supply left on
their hands which must be sold at a loss
if an immediate turnover is desired."
* * *

An investigation by the Federal Trade
Commission into the cost of fertilizers is
proposed by Representative Bland of
Virginia, in a resolution introduced in
Congress last week. "The prices of fer-
tilizers are entirely out of proportion to
the prices of other commodities and farm
products," the Congressman declared in
introducing his measure, "and as the
prices are practically prohibitive, they
will result in material reduction in
acrea,2;e planted."

The commission would be authorized,
under the resolution, to inquire into the
existing price of fertilizer, to ascertain
the cause and necessity for such prices;
to ascertain the manufacturers' cost price
and selling price, and the retailers' cost
price and selling price for the years 1918,
1919 and 1920, and report to the House
the result of the investigation, with a
view to adoption of proper measures to
reduce the cost of these articles to the
producers Qf food supplies.

Fuchsias

For early flowering, bushy Fuchsias,
veil established in 2 or 2i^in. pot plants
.hould have a shift now into 3^'s. While
lot ideal Easter plants, if you have a
i:ood batch in flower by that time, some
'.f them can always be disposed of
Again, you want some extra strong plants
lext May for the filing of window boxes
n shady places and the larger the plants
ire for that purpose, the better. For
)rdinary 4in. stock wanted during May,
cuttings may be rooted any time now up
0 March.

Lantanas

Lantanas usually being in full bloom
luring May and June, make desirable
ledding plants and should be carried by
jvery retail grower. If you have a good
,ot of plants on hand you are sure to
lispose of them, but don't let them be
5mall stock in 2%*s; you want heavy
plants in 4 or 5's. Small stock can be
purchased now, and if carried along in
a 50deg. house and kept shifted, will
5row into fine specimens. Rooted cut-
tings also will do. For the filling of hang-
ing baskets, the trailing Lantanas are
ideal. Plant five or six 2^in. plants in
a 12in. basket about March 15.

2's ; these, if shifted, will soon furnish
nice cuttings.

Pelargoniums

Achyranthes

The Achyranthes we use during the
bedding season the same as we do Coleus
and they require about the same treat-
ment. You can always recommend Achy-
ranthes as border plants or for formal
bedding and they will go well with other
plants in window boxes, vases and hang-
ing baskets. If you are short on stock
plants purchase small plants now out of

Strong 2i^iu. Pelargoniums of the
Easter Greeting type shifted now into
3^'s and kept moving, will make fine
flowering stock for early Spring. "You
will get some of them in for Easter, but
those which will flower later will come
in every bit as useful. These Pelargo-
niums don't want a house over 50deg.,
nor should they be allowed to become too
pot bound. Good soil and good drain-
age is what they want. Where your
bedding Geraniums do best is a good
house for them and constant spraying
with nicotine will keep the white fly in
check as well as anything you can use.

Poinsettias

There isn't much left of a Poinsettia
plant after the flowers or bracts have
been removed, hardly any sign of life and
yet the plants, if put below a Carnation
bench, kept perfectly dry and left there
until the middle or end of April, potted
up and watered and placed on a sunny
bench, will soon break aong the hard
wooded stem and furnish cuttings for the
following three months. If you have
cut down pot plants lean them in the
pot and lay on their sides.

Marguerites

The early rooted Marguerites are now
in 2^in. pots, and while it doesn't matter
a great deal just when you shift the
ones intended for the bedding season, let
those to be used for Easter have a little
extra care. Give them the last shift not
later than the early part of February, for
if you keep on shifting them, they will

keep on growing instead of setting buds
and flowers by the end of March. There
is nothing finer than Mrs. F. Sanders as
a flowering pot plant for Easter ; it is
away ahead of the others for that pur-
pose.

Polyanthus Primroses

What we know as Polyanthus Prim-
roses are favorites with almost every
lover of flowers, and every retail grower
should try to have at least a part of a
bench or solid bed devoted to them during
the Winter months. Like the Violets
and Mignonettes, they don't want a high
temperature, in fact, can get along if
necessary with 40deg. While they won't
flower much in such a temperature dur-
ing the next two months, you can't hold
them back after that, and you will surely
have a good crop coming in around
Easter, at which time the plants can be
lifted and potted up or used for made-
up pans. Nothing finer for Easter week.
If you have no plants of your own, pur-
chase now field gi-own clumps. If you
wish to grow some on from seed the
present is a good time to get started. Buy
the best strain and sow in flats, trans-
plant the seedlings into 2in. pots to be
planted outdoors next May. They will
make flowering stock for the following
Winter, but of course will not be as
large as two year old clumps.

Impatiens

For shady positions in places where
hardly anything else will flower during
the Summer months, the Impatiens will
be a mass of bloom until cut down by
frost. You will get along without them
during the bedding season if you haven't
any on hand, but every florist can find
good use for them. We are always hav-

ing patrons come in wanting something
for shady places. Impatiens grow as
easily as German Ivy and root as quickly,
so long as they have a house of 55deg,
They come in quite a variety of shades,
from a deep pink to salmon pink, and
white, but the salmon colored ones are
mostly in demand. Rooted cuttings potted
up even as late as April will grow into
salable stock by the midde of May, but
if you want heavv 4in. plants, root the
cuttings during February. If short on
stock plants buy a few well established
ai^in. plants now, and shift into 4'b;
they will soon give you great amounts
of cuttings. The shoots from the base
of the plants are best for cuttings, while
the tops of the plants often fail to make
side branches.

Bedding Begonias

It is not too early to sow seed of such
bedding Begonias as Luminosa, Erfordia,
Prima Donna and others. One can sow
later, but one heavy 4in. pot plant by
the middle of May is worth a dozen or
more small 2%in. ones. The seed of
these Begonias is very small and should
never be covered with soil, and great
care must be taken in watering the seed
pans while the seed is germinating. Soak
the pans thoroughly before you sow ; let
the surface dry off for a few minutes
before sowing and press the seeds down
gently, after that give another light
watering with a ScoUay rubber sprinkler
and place a pane of glass over the seed
pan. If you have no better place, put
the pans on the hot water returns, but
never allow them to dry out. Always
keep the surface moist. The little seed-
lings don't make much headway, but
transplant them as soon as they can be
handled and keep in a 55deg. house.

Xlieir Culture an Open and an ICn-

Titing Field — a Profitable One

to Soothsays Fritz Bahr

The writer has just been looking over
some of his old but still valuable F. E.'s
and came across your invitation at the
bottom of page 451, 1918, to ask Fritz
Bahr questions pertaining to his depart-
ment which he, our master, would try to
answer.

Now, if this invitation stUl holds good,
would like to ask Fritz Bahr the follow-
ing:

If he (a) had 200 3ft.x6ft. sash and
was able to procure 100 or so more if
needed, (b) and had 1% acres of good
land, (c) an active, healthy partner to
work along with, (d) and himself was
about 30, and (e) had no greenhouse
nor desire to have one, and wanted to
use his (their) time and present (as
well as additional) equipment in the most
intensive scheme of growing and of dis-
posing of growths, by mail mostly, what
would be the most intensive and most
promising financial arrangement that he
would practice ? In other words, how
would he arrange to utilize sash ana
land and own and partner's labor to
get successive crops, one following the
otlier (over the entire twelve months, if
possible) to get the maximum results? —
N. R., Delaware.

— I take it for granted that the in-
quirer is already established but wishes
to better himself and branch out further.
In order to offer suggestions one should
be better acquainted with the location,
climatic conditions, soil, available work-
ing capital and the inquirer's personal
experience, I shall nevertheless be glad
to answer the questions as well as I can.

If I was thirty years old, with a good
partner and established, and wished to
go into anything for which to my mind
there is an. ever increasing demand and
a fair profit, besides consisting of most
interesting work, it would be the grow-
ing on of hardy stock, especially bien-
nials and perennials for the florist as
well as retail trade.

While for a starter, 200 sashes would
be all right and one and one-half acres
of land sufficient to get busy with, five
or six acres would be better, at least to
have ready, when wanted. But this ma-
terial and land would not be sufficient to
keep two men busy, nor produce enough
to make it pay except they have some
other income besides. Again, to go into
the growing on of such hardy stock, a
greenhouse, if only 10ft. by 100ft. and
at that a sash house, is of importance ;
not to say that you can't do without it,
but for the propagation of such stock as
Phlox, Anemone and others, which is
easiest done through root cuttings and
growing on stock from seed sown during
the Winter months, for in this way, will
be produced salable plants in a much
shorter time than outdoor sown ones.

No one can expect to enter into this
line of business and be flooded with or-
ders from the start, but I am positive
success is bound to come to him who will
stick to it, who will grow good stock, es-
tablish a reputation for such, and can
be depended upon to act on the square.

At present the specialists in such
stock are but few compared with other
lines. The average florist doesn't appre-
ciate nearly enough the possibilities in
handling hardy stock, not only for cut
flowers but for plants to be sold to his
patrons during the Spring and Fall
months, and of forcing a number of va-
rieties under glass for early Spring flow-
ering. I don't believe there are at pres-
ent over flfty firms forcing hardy Del-
phiniums under glass where there are at
least over 5000 retail growers who could
do so and make it pay, besides offering
stock from the field for Spring and Fall
planting and for forcing under glass.
With the help of frames, plants may be
potted up during late Fall or early
Spring and sold during the Summer
months when field plants can't be lifted.

There are plants such as Peonies,
Phloxes, Irises, Chrysanthemums, Helian-
thus, Heleniums and others, which can
be planted in rows in the open field and
which will furnish right along divisions
to increase the stock. Others, such as
Delphiniums, Digitalis, Campanulas,
Gaillardia'-. Aquilegias, Anchusas, Pyre-

thrums, Shasta Daisies, Heucheras, Di-
anthus, Hollyhocks, and many more, are
best grown from seed. A few can be
propagated through soft-wooded cuttings,
among them, Phlox (Miss Lingard), of
which every florist in the United States
should have a good stock, but only a few
do.

I can't here go into detailed cultural di-
rections but might state that to get the
most out of growing on hardy stock it is
necessary to carry a large assortment and
yet, to begin with, making a specialty of
such as are easily grown on ^and for
which there is a ready demand, will do
nicely. The number of" biennials and
perennials you find in the average gar-
den hardly ever exceeds twelve and less
of those used for forcing. For the pres-
ent, four sorts of Peonies, four of Iris,
four of Phlox, and about fifteen or twenty
other varieties of biennials and peren-
nials, including such as, Delphiniums,
Columbines, Canterbury Bells, Gaillar-
dias, Coreopsis, Oriental Poppies and
early flowering outdoor Chrysanthemums,
will start things; after that keep on in-
creasing and adding more varieties from
year to year.

If you sell a man a couple hundred
two-year-old Delphiniums for forcing, or
that many heavy field-grown Canterbury
Bells, at a fair price, and they reach him
in good shape and consist of good stock,
he will come again for more and other
sorts.

The first thing is to work up a stock,
then advertise persistently, and back it
up with nothing but A No. 1 plants,
reaching the purchaser in good shape,
and it soon will take more than 200
sashes and one and one-half acres of
land to do business on.

Falling Coal Prices

Reports from the coal centers indicate
that mild weather and the reduction of
general manufactures, have brought about
a considerable fall in the prices of steam
coal. It is said that the supply is greater
than the demand, and that coal is being
piled up at the mines because of the lack
of purchasers.

The news is hardly calculated to cheer
those who purchased big stocks while
prices were high, but it must not be for-
gotten that prices have a way of sailing
up between the mines and the centers of
consumption. As one long suffering
householder put it to us, "Mine prices
may be down to $4, but I have to pay
$14.50."

Intensive Fruit Culture in England

Prof. L. C. Corbett of the Dept. of
Agriculture who has just returned from
a trip abroad, found near Cambridge,
England, a fruit farm of some 1400 acres
so intensively cultivated that horse or
high power cultivation and spraying as
adopted here, was impossible.

Before the war, the land was all
spaded by hand, but since labor became
scarce and expensive small American
made "wheelbarrow" tractors have taken
care of the work. The spraying is done
from a central power plant, pipe lines
being laid to enable men to attach hose
at any point for the purpose, applying
Bordeaux or other mixtures. The or-
chards, which are made up with Apples
and Plums, with bush fruits underneath,
all planted much closer than is cus-
tomary here, are controlled by a preserv-
ing company. Another large fruit and
Hop growing concern in Kent, also
sprays its crops from a central power
station.

Parks and Recreation

This, the quarterly official journal of
the American Association of Park Smier-
intendents is to hand. Well printed as
usual, it contains many interesting articles
and details of the annual convention held
at Louisville in September last.

Tour Christmas Number was a good
one. It is a decent looking, well ar-
ranged and well printed paper, and the
informative and literary part is excellent.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

The improvement of commercial Chrysanthemums
has long been our endeavor. The majority of those
grown today for this purpose originated with us.

Early and late planting as well as the state of cul-
tivation have marked effect upon the result. These
operations are influenced by conditions surrounding the
individual grower and in many instances are beyond con-
trol. The highest percentage of marketable blooms is the
cardinal point in determining commercial character.

Those desiring to improve qualities with the least
effort, will be furnished a list of the best kinds, both new
and old, upon request.

The Florists' Exchange

A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, G>nn.

{TJUs visit was made toward the close
of last Summer and the report written
at that time).

Let's run down to Cromwell and see
what is doing at Pierson's, my friend
suggested to me recently. Right, I
answered, when do we go? Be at Har-
vard Square tonight at 12 and if all
goes well we can make it before the sun
gets very high was my injunction, and
at midnight sharp we started our jour-
ney. Under the most beautiful moon
and over perfect roads we slid through
the silent night without one single mis-
- hap, landing at Cromwell on the stroke
of eight o'clock, after having had a wash
up and welcome breakfast in Hartford.
We found Wallace Pierson already busy,
engaged in directing the day's work, and
from there on were kept busy ourselves
following our guide and mentor all over
the immense place. Let no man imagine
it is a picnic to inspect one million feet
of glass and over one thousand acres of
land under cultivation, because, if done
conscientiously, it will develop into a
rather serious undertaking.

System and Cleanliness

What strikes the visitor first of all,
and very pleasantly at that, is the per-
fect system and absolute cleanliness
throughout the entire place. Everything,
of course, is on a large scale ; the houses
are all from 600ft. to 1000ft. in length,
while the crops grown axe mostly repre-
sented in great blocks. Almost every-
thing can be found on this place, either
in the greenhouses, in the frames, in the
nurseries or on the farm. When the
enormous size of the plant is considered,
and it is kept in mind that past labor
conditions have not been as good as
might have been desired, the excellent
condition of the crops bear witness of
superior management and system. Al-
though the war's general disturbance of
labor conditions naturally did affect the
Cromwell establishment as well as it did
every other one, yet this establishment
has been fortunate in retaining a large
part of its forces.

Help a Permanency

One reason is that a great many
women workers are employed, also a
great number of men were over the mili-
tary age. Most of these people live on
or near the place in dwellings owned by
their employer and most of them have
lived there for a long time, many even
been born on the place. It speaks well
for the firm that some of the best em-
ployees have been with A. N. Pierson
since he first started, and that ever their
children are working for the same firm
since they have left school. The firm
owns 67 dwellings and is at present pre-
paring to erect seven more, the material
for which is all ready on the place. Be-
fore the war, the firm employed about
400 hands ; this number has been re-
duced to about 270, but the list will soon
be filled up again. Wallace Piersoni
pointed out to your reporter the fine
large schoolhouse which stands right
next to the grounds, and alluded to the
fact that although this building had been
enlarged only a short while ago it would
have to be enlarged again at once. As
he remarked with a smile, race suicide
does not seem to be in vogue here.

Carnations and Roses

The firm grows plants and flowers for
the trade and for the market. One block
of Carnations, in a set of connected
houses, holds 50,000 plants of all the
standard varieties. The plants are in
fine condition, although many of the
benches contain last year's soil. This
has been done with a view of reducing
labor and gaining time in planting. A
strong coat of cow manure and a good
sprinkling of tankage has been incorpo-
rated with the old soil, and judging from
how the young plants have started off,
the result is sure to be satisfactory. A
number of benches are given over to
Hope Henshaw, the new seedling raised
on the place. This new variety was ex-
hibited in Boston and other places last
Winter and has been very favorably re-
ceived. It may best be described as a
much improved Ward. To look over
50,000 Carnations under one roof is alone
worth the trouble of going a 100-mile
journey.

Another block of connected houses
contains 20,000 Roses in one lot.
Premier, Russell, Columbia, Ophelia and

some of the other popular sorts are here
represented, together with a good num-
ber of the new Frank W. Dunlop. A
more thrifty, robust and healthy lot of
young Roses will be hard to find any-
where ; they are simply great. Planting
was finished by the first week in June,
and fine long stemmed flowers were be-
ing shipped in early September. A
number of other houses, from 600ft. to
900ft. long, planted with older Roses,
are also under way after a spell of rest.

Ontdoor Roses

Roses have always been one of the
main features with Pierson's. Outdoors,
there are 75,000 Roses, either planted
out or plunged in pots for next Win-
ter's forcing. In the nursery there are
all the varieties of hardy H. P., H. T.

A.- N. Pierson

and tea and other types by the thousand.
F, A. Grootendorst. a cross from Crim-
son Rambler and Rosa Rugosa, deserves
special mention on account of its adap-
tability as a hedge plant. It is of robust,
rampant habit and growth, making a
solid, impenetrable hedge in almost no
time, and for dog, cat or neighbor's
naughty boy to go through is an imi
possibility. The thorns are long, sharp
and extremely numerous. The flowers
are almost identical with Crimson
Rambler, while the general aspect of
the plant and the foliage is that of R.
Rugosa. This Rose is certain to become
popular as a hedge plant for town and
city lots.

A. N. Pierson's Hobby

While with the Roses, let us say a
word about the Rose garden and Rose
arbor which is one of the hobbies and
the delight of the elder Pierson. The
arbor is built in the shape of a cross
and is about 300ft. in length each way,
being made up of arches covered with
climbing Roses. The center of the cross
is in the form of a raised dome, all
overgrown with Roses. Large beds,
planted with all the best known varieties
of outdoor Roses, are set in beautiful,
close cropped turf. As everything is kept
scrupulously neat and clean, the whole
arrangement is a thing of beauty and a
joy to behold.

*Mnms by tbe Mile

Chrysanthemums are another strong
feature, and as may be expected are done
well. Wallace Pierson said that they
have not so many 'Mums this year as
usual, but it looks as if there might be
enough at that, when one walks through
house after house, all planted with
'Mums, and all looking fine. Between
two and three hundred thousand in all
are in the benches, about one-third of
the varieties being Pompons and singles.
Last season 100,000 seedlings of Chrys-
anthemums were raised, and from these
178 kinds have been selected and re-
tained for further observation.

Foliage and Pot Plants

As has been mentioned in the begin-
ning, everything in the line of plants
can be found here, and as it would take
too long to go into details, we will just
tell about a few of the outstanding facts.
Several 900ft. houses, some with eight
benches, are planted with Asparagus
plumosus and the now seldom seen
Smilax, making strings 12ft. to 15ft.
long. Swainsonia is also largely and
well grown. A few large houses, filled
with the beautiful new Glory Pern
Adiantum Farleyense Lemesksii and A.
Crowianum in all sizes, are wonderful
to behold ; 20,000 Ardisia crenulata,

well grown and extra well berried, is
another item ; palms, Ficus, Dracaenas,
orchids and other things are passed by ;
house after house of Poinsettias, Be-
gonias, Cyclamen, Bougainvilleas, Ericas
and so on until one really gets tired of
seeing more. Just when we stopped for
a little rest in one of the potting sheds,
we observed the men planting Freesias
into hoses. Of course, we ask how many
are needed and were told 350,000 each
year. We also found out that for three
years no new ones have been bought ;
the old ones are properly dried off and
replanted with great success.

Hardy Trees and Sbmbs

The nursery contains over 50 acres,
and is run on the same thorough prin-
ciple as are the greenhouses. It was
started four years ago and has been a
success from the very start. The soil is
well adapted for all kinds of trees and
shrubs ; the land is level as a floor and
is largely worked with tractors and power
cultivators. Immense blocks of ever-
greens and deciduous trees can be seen,
the plants being represented in all sizes
and varieties.

General Farming

A large farm is connected with the
establishment and here again is seen the
same order and perfect management.
One hundred and forty sleek thorough-
bred and highgrade Holstein and Jersey
cows furnish 700 quarts of milk per day,
which article is sold in the neighborhood.
Besides the manure from the cowstable,
over 2000 loads of manure from other
sources were used on the place last year.
Three hundred tons of hay were this
year s harvest.

Where All the Coal Goes

The greenhouses are heated from two
central stations where a modern, model
heating system is installed and where
every labor saving appliance can be
found. A total of 12,000 tons of coal is
required yearly to heat the greenhouses,
9000 tons of which was already on the
place at the time of our visit. The
coal comes by barge or steamer to the
firm's own dock on the Connecticut
River ; from the boat it is hoisted by
machinery, carried over a short trestle
and dumped on one pile which is en-

Wallace R. Pierson

closed by a solid cement wall, 12ft. high
and 250ft. long on each side, A tractor
levels the coal on the pile as it is
dumped. The coal used is one half of
screenings and, when building the pile,
the boat loads are manipulated so as to
have screenings and coal dumped alter-
nately on the pile, after which the neces-
sary handling will mix the two suffi-
ciently for use in the boilers. A boat
load consists of about 800 tons. Two
thousand four hundred tons of coal were
carried over from last year. The ship-
ping, packing and cooling departments
are, as may be imagined, on a large
scale and properly appointed in every
detail. The cooling rooms are served
by a special refrigerating system. The
large saw and lumber mill is a depart-
ment by itself. Twenty-four automobiles
and delivery trucks are in constant serv-
ice and to supply their needs 22,000
gallons of gasoline, 10,000 gallons of
kerosene and one carload of cylinder oil
are stored in big iron tanks.

The Executive Offices

The large, commodious offices are over
the shipping rooms ; they are equipped

with all the latest filing and other applii
ances, and being built and furnished ii
hardwood give one an impression of be
ing an extensive office building in thi
city. The den of Wallace Pierson is i
large, beautifully furnished room witt
an outlook toward the mountains. Somi .
monstrous deer, elk and moose heads anc
stuffed salmon and trout, on the wall
are silent reminders that the managei
of this great establishment knows ho^t
to intersperse seasons of rest and re
euperation, once in a while, when tht
daily grind of business becomes a burden
A. N. Pierson, the founder of this es-
tablishment, came to this country from
Sweden as a young man with two dollars
in his pocket, fifty years ago. He started
to work at ten dollars a month and fortj
years ago laid the foundation for what
is today one of the largest commercial
plant establishments in this country,
He is today, with seventy years, as lively
and as spry as the proverbial cricket,
and looking back upon what he ha*i
achieved, may well feel proud and please^*
with the result of his energy and perse'*
verence. G. Th. ■

Oyster Bay (N. Y.) Hort. SocietJ<

The regular monthly meeting of the'
above society was held on Wednesday,
Dec. 22, in the Parish Hall, with Presi-
dent Geo. H. Hale in the chair.

The names of Peter Morrison and
George Wood were accepted for the active
list.

One vase Mignonettee was exhibited
by James Duckham and the same re-
ceived honorable mention. M. C. Abel
was made honorary life member. The
secretary's report for the year was highly
satisfactory, as was that of the treas-
urer.

The following officers were elected for
1921: John McCuUock, president; John
Forbes, vice-president, re-elected to office;
Arthur Patton, secretary ; John Mcin-
tosh, financial secretary, Albert_ Dawson,
treasurer. The executive committee con-
sists of John Sorosick, James Duckham,

Geo. H. Hale was elected as trustee
for three years. After the election, the'
outgoing president installed the newly
elected officers into their respective chairs.
The outgoing president received a pleasing
token for the services he rendered the
society during the past two years. It
was agreed that we dispense with the
monthly exhibits during January, Febru-
ary and March.

After the meeting a smoker and re-
freshments followed.

Arthub Patton, Secretary.

financial condition. It was decided to hold ,
the annual dinner at the Florence Inn on
Jan. 18. The society's prizes for the
bigbest number of points gained for ex-
bibits at the monthly meetings during
1920 were won by William Jamieson,
first; Charles J. Wood, second.

Jas. T. Scott in a few well chosen
words, presented E. W. Newbrand with
a purse containing $50 in gold as a token
of high esteem for his untiring energiea
in the discharge of his duties as secre-
tary of the society, Mr. Newbrand having
been secretary of tbe society 20 years.

Due to the fact that a general de-
pression in all lines of business was in
evidence, it was not expected that the
florists' trade would be any exception. The
prediction was from all quarters that if
they held their own they were doing
well. Fine weather prevailed until Dec.
23, when we were treated to a Southern
shower. Anyone who has never ex-
perienced one, has no conception of what
a shower is. Just imagine being in the
open and a deluge overtaking you with
all the force of a hundred pound pressure
driving it, and you can form only_ a faint
idea. Under such conditions delivery of
plants was a difficult task, yet with a
grim determination to succeed, Rosemont
and Morning View proceeded aa if noth-
ing unusual had occurred and all during
Thursday worked like beavers keeping
their several trucks on the go. Friday
was fair and no further trouble occurred
except the difficulty of waiting on the
crowd of belated customers, which kept
the force 'way into the night and all fore-
noon of Christmas Day.

Plant sales were 70 per cent, and at
good prices. These included Cyclamen
from $1 to $10, but very few of the
cheaper ones were sold. Narcissus, $1
to $3 ; Begonia Cincinnati and Chatte-
laine, $1 to $7.50, but their best seller
was their new sport which is a great im-
provement upon Mrs. Patten. Palms
and ferns, $1 to $5. Poinsettias, of
which they had one entire house, brought
$2 to $10, the last, for large pans. Calla
Lilies and Cleveland Cherries each sold
well. A charge of 50e. was made for
packing when plants were shipped. Many
made up baskets and pans were disposed
of at good prices.

In cut flowers Roses had the call and
were sold clean ; particularly Mock, which
with Russell brought $15 per doz. tor ex-
tra selected stock; other grades, $10,
,$7.50 and $5. White and pink ran from
$7.50 for selects to $5 for ordinary stock.

Carnations, white and pink, were $4
per doz., with $5 for red; Sweet Peas,
$5 per hundred. Christmas wreaths,
principally Hollv, were disposed of as
fast as made, at $3 to $5 each. The vol-
ume of business done was 15 per cent
over last year's sales. "This firm ^ does a
large amount of advertising which, no
doubt, was an important factor in its
success.

Morning View Nurseries, under the new
management, made big strides over last
year's business. They are very much
encouraged. They do a large amount of
landscape work. All sales are made from
their greenhouses, which are some dis-
tance from the business center of the city.

C. B. Thompson & Co. had a very gootl
season, and also a good run of business
during the following week, as social
activity ran high.

Local flowers were in better supply this
season than last, due to the fact that
the big growers came back to flowers
with a vengeance this year. Some of the
growers who put many houses into Let-
tuce last year dropped them entirely this
year, as they figured that they would be
able to secure fuel, but not at a price
which would enable them to compete with
Lettuce growers of the South. This en-
abled them to take a better profit from
flowers.

Anders Rasmussen, New Albany, Ind.,
recently received two barges of West Vir-
ginia coal at one time, this being part
of an eight barge shipment which came
down the Ohio River in December, the
first river shipment in some months. Two
barges of coal figure around 1000 tons.

Leo J. Pontrich and Chester H. Pont-
rich have filed notice with the Jefferson
County Clerk, at Louisville, in which they
affirm ownership of the business of Simon
Pontrich, 1036 South 2Sth st. This
means that the Simon Pontrich business,
which has been successfully conducted by
the father and sons for some years, has
been turned over to the boys to operate.

Louisville Ky.

Holiday business in Louisville this year
was excellent as a whole, and most of the
florists were glad when the rush was
over and they had an opportunity to take
a much needed rest. Stocks as a whole
were in very fair shape, and wMle_ there
was a shortage of certain varieties of
flowers, the trade was able to take care of
demand.

Such houses as those operated by Miss
Edith Walker, Jacob Schulz Co., C. B.
Thompson & Co., Fred Haupt, August
Baumer, F. Walker Co., William Walker
Co., and Henry Fuchs, leaders in the
downtown trade, were rushed for days
before Christmas in getting things into
shape and taking orders. It is reported
that buyers anticipated their wants a
little better this year than formerly, which
helped materially in getting things lined
up in advance.

Telegraph delivery business, outbound
as well as inbound, was exceedingly good,
in fact, better than had been anticipated.
As a whole, few mistakes were made in
handling the 1920 business. The weather
man treated the florists well by serving
good weather- through Christmas, which
made it much easier in handling deliveries.

George Schulz of the Jacob Schulz Co.,
was of the opinion that it was about the
best year the florists have had, and ap-
peared very well satisfied with results.

Washington, D. C.

"The flower business in Washington
during the year just closed," said David
G. Grillbortzer, of the Washington ITloral
Co., vice-president of the American Car-
nation Society, which is soon to meet in
the National Capital, "will average up
well when compared with the business of
1919.

"We expected that with the retirement
from service here, of hundreds of officers
of the army and navy and their removal
from the city, and with the discharge of
thousands of Government employees and
workers in civilian organizations existing
during the war, that there would he a
marked falling off in our daily receipts.
Apparently, this has not diminished the
buying ability of the people, for when
our books are balanced I am sure the
showing will be satisfactory.

"When I speak of the year being a
successful one, I believe I voice the senti-
ments of other florists in this territory.
The Washington Floral Co. does both a
wholesale and retail business and, when
I say our wholesale business has been ex-
ceptionally good, it can readily be seen
that the business of our customers was
proportionately good, because of the
amount of stock they consumed.

"The future holds for all of us many
puzzling situations. This is the period
of reconstruction and naturally, with fall-
ing prices in all lines, the florists will
not be able to secure the prices that have
prevailed during the past few years. I
do believe, however, that when our books
are closed this time next year, the returns
for 1921 will not be disappointing.

"Surely, this is not the time for pessi-
mism. We may, perhaps, find that our
customers are not falling all over them-
selves trying to buy our flowers and pos-
sibly we will have to go out after busi-
ness. 'There is no use getting gloomy
over dark prospects, for we can consider
the little motto, 'Does a hen stop scratch-
ing because the worms are scarce?' and
keep plugging.

"As to prices for 1921, looking over
cost of production figures, it is evident
that there will be a materia! reduction as
compared with prices for 1919, hut they
will not approximate the prices charged
for flowers at wholesale prior to 1914.
When we in the flower business speak
about 'getting back to normal,' we can-
not mean conditions of 1914 for the rea-
son that the elements entering into pro-
duction are still moving upward. I refer
more particularly to coal, water and
power. Wages have not decreased, and in
Washington today there is considerable
labor agitation in the flower industry.

"There is one interesting feature of
the business — the fact that since the war
the growers of the country have been en-
abled to increase their productive stocks
to a point where they can meet business
demands. It will be recalled that during
the war, with the shortage of men, re-
strictions on fuel and about everything
else, the growers found their ranges badly
depleted. In the matter of stock, at least,
the growers have advanced beyond the
point called normal."

The Market

.Tan. 4. — Last week the market
was rather shy of stock, with prices well
up, and the demand a trifle above normal.
This week opened up with good bright
weather and stock promises to be more
plentiful. Roses, in short and medium
grades continue scarce ; Premier and Co-
lumbia run from 10c. to 35c., white
Ophelia, Killarney, Sunburst and Butter-
fly range from 10c. to 25c. The Carna-
tion supply is strong and some extra
fancy stock is to be seen ; they run from
Sc. to 12e. A few top grade fancy at
15c. Double Violets have been rather in-
active the past few days, but singles are
moving nicely and are more plentiful.
Price about $2 per 100. Easter Lilies
in fair demand this week at $3 per doz. ;
last week same stock at $4. Callas are
in fair supply and demand ; $2 and $2.50
is the price. Not many Sweet Peas avail-
able ; $3 to $4 per 100 for the best, but
orchids are in good supply and favor. C.
Trianea is to be had at $1.50, while C.
Percivaliana bring ,$1.00 to $1.25.

Cypripedium blooms are still around,
but the call is slow. In the bulb line, a
few real white Roman Hyacinths are
seen at 6c. to Sc. Very few Calendulas
about and Mignonette, Swainsona, Pan-
sies. Snapdragon seen on the short side.

Stevia is about over; Plumosus was
short for a day or so, but the situation
has been relieved.

Johnson's Greenhouses have had a dis-
agreeable experience, not at all their fault.
Cbheir friends will be glad to know that
while the damage and loss of trade was
not an appreciated holiday offering, the
store itself was not harmed. They write
us ;

"On Christmas Eve, at 3 p.m., a dan-
gerous fire started in a paint store next
to Johnson's Greenhouses new store. We
had to stop work at 3.30 and were or-
dered out of the building by the fire de-
partment. It looked for a time that the
whole block would be entirely destroyed,
due to the intensity of the fire caused by
the highly inflammable nature of the
paints, oils and varnishes.

"The fire was completely under con-
trol at about 7 p.m. and we were al-
lowed to go back into the store at about
9.30 and resume business. The material

Viburnum rhytidophyllum

Kvcry one who has ever written anything about this
rare plant is unanimous in his praise of it. It is really
the aristocrat of the genus and to see a well formed
plant, as is shown in the accompanying photograph,
unly stimulates our interest but creates a longing
more of this type of plant to use in our gardens,
lirst sight one would scarcely suppose it to be a
burnum, so distinct Is It from any of the others.

There Is a richness and character to the lustrous,
deeply furrowed leaves that remind one of some of the
Asiatic Rhododendrons, the soft downy underside of the
leaf, too, being so much like some of them.

While It is, some sixteen years since this Viburnum
was introduced to plant lovers it is rarely we
come across a specimen of It. There is hardly
a fair excuse for not raising more of it so
that it might have a wider circle of ac-
quaintances. Raising it from seed, cuttings
and layers can be accomplished so that in a
few years a fairly good stock of it would be
available.

Its hardiness is practically assured for all
points north to Massachusetts providing, of
course, that good judgment is exercised in
affording It a protected location and good,
deep soli to grow in. Being an evergreen, it
might also be well to shade it in the Winter
on the south side with corn stalks to prevent
sun scald.

At the time of taking the photograph of
this plant It had a few scattered red berried
on it but most of the fruit had fallen or had
been appropriated by the birds, who had evi-
dently gotten busy before they were fully
ripe. When ripe, the color of the fruit Is
almost black, similar to that of Viburnum
Sieboldianum. According to the writer's ex-
perience, it is a rather shy fruit bearer and its
berries are not persistent like Viburnum
Wrightianum and Viburnum opulus, the fruit
of which latter species remains on the plant
sometimes all Winter.

It Is not clearly noticeable in the picture,
but the corymbs of flower buds are all
formed for next year's flowering, just as we
would see in the case of Andromeda, Azalea
and Rhododendron. It might be of interest
to record the size of this particular plant,
which measures l.'ift. high with a breadth of
iil/ih. Coming through, uninjured, last Win-
ter's severe trial weather, surely places It In
the "hardy class" and gives us a welcome
addltinn to broad leaf evergreen shrubs.

Edwin Matthews.

horticultural and agricultural professor or investiga-
tor cannot carry on his work without remuneration,
nor should he be expected to continue on a salary that
the average commercial man — and today, not a few ar-
tisans— would scoff at.

The writer referred to touches upon this point, but
explains in detail other factors that bid fair to drive
out of the colleges the men who take up agricultural
and horticultural work because they love it. While he
has no personal grievance, having fared better than
some of his colleagues, he nevertheless admits that in
cornmercial life he might have done a great deal
better.

The drawbacks of horticultural and agricultural pro-
fessorship in colleges are, apart from remuneration,

Nursery Training in Colleges

As the result of activities on the part of
the American Association of Nurserymen, a
committee, consisting of Alvln E. Nelson,
Chicago, chairman, Theodore Borst, Boston,
Ralph Olcott, Rochester, N. Y., and Henry
Hicks, Westbury, N. Y., has arranged to cooperate with
various agricultural colleges for the establishment of
training courses. Full details regarding these courses
may be obtained on application from Secretary John
Watson, Princeton, N. J.

The above announcement will be of special Interest tf>
those who may have hitherto doubted the wisdom of at-
tending college for professional horticultural training,
and particularly in regard to nursery work. While the
State colleges may not have suffered so much through
the loss of tutors, it would appear that many educational
colleges featuring horticultural or agricultural courses
have in the past few years found it difficult to carry
on such courses, owing to depleted staffs.

Low salaries are a strong factor In driving horticul-
tural and agricultural professors from the colleges, but
there are other reasons, and in Tlie Country Gentleman
one of the fraternity lifts up his voice to tell us the why
and wherefore.

It is almost xmiversally agreed that teachers and pro-
fessors of agriculture and horticulture are rarely paid
to a degree commensurate with the importance of their
work, while scientific investigators are perhaps even
more sadly neglected. It goes without saying that the

colleges, it is stated, are among the leading bugbears.
The college is not a business institution, its traditions
belong to the Middle Ages, and hard is the lot of the
fool professor who tries to propose anything different.
While teachers of French ptulosophy begin their labors
at 9 a.m. and quit at 3 or 4 p.m., such a program does
not suit agriculture. The laws of the college allow no
change to fit the conditions, however. "If the aca-
demic gods should indulgently allow me to make up
my schedule on a genuinely practical basis, a majority
of the students would desert my course, because they
could not attend the football games and other college
functions. As a matter of principle, however, the aca-
demicians will not allow me any such freedom for
wrecking my classes. * * *

"They have arranged, for example, for a recitation
period of 50 minutes, which is four times as long as
any lecture ought to be, but not long enough to do any-
thing practical in the field. * * * Suppose the pro-
fessor of nomologry wants to inltlai-e his punils Into
the mysteries of spraying — the pupils must report at
a distant bam; change their clothes; get out the ma-
chinery and then, by the time they have slaked the

lime, it is necessary to hurry back to campus for a reci-
tation on the history of labor legislation. As no class
can be granted more than two laboratory periods in
a week, it will require a month for the class to pre-
pare a barrel of Bordeaux mixture which, by that time,
will have settled so that it cannot be used. * * *

"We agricultural college professors are at a disad-
vantage in the academic surroundings. Frankly, we
lack culture, we are weak on the social stuff, slow on
the literary paths, and we look fools in dress suits.
Few of us have seen London or Paris, and all this is
counted against us. We lack the academic degrees of
the linguists, polyconomists, professors of history,
geology and so forth; we are lucky if we can show a
B. S. now and then. * * *

"We appear at a constant disadvantage in
everyday college business. The dean calls a
committee meeting. The assistant professor
of Spanish shoves back his papers and ap-
pears at the appointed time as sweet as the
newblown Rose. The professor of husbandry
is dragged out of the barn, where he is try-
ing to get a sick cow Into a box stall, and he
comes to the committee late, with his cuffs
off, his collar soiled and his clothes smelling
of barnyard fertilizer. The committee dis-
cusses the momentous question as to whether
Andy Simpson, who has made a mark of 58J^
per cent in History 62, shall be allowed a
re-examlnation, or be required to repeat the
course next year. The discussion takes two
hours and then is referred to a special sub-
committee. Long before this the professor
o f husbandry has bolted or has expressed
simple but disgusting truths which make him
unpopular among the academic set. * * *

"Take a young chap who has had a good
groundwork of livestock keeping on the home
farm. He is willing to forego a large salary
but wants to devote his life to his specialty.
Is there any A. M. or Ph. D. for him?
Never ! If he wants to study the extinct ani-
mals of 50 million years ago, and write a
thesis based on two busted bones, discussing
in 20,000 words the genesis of Mcglaocepha-
lits pedantkus, he would get the Ph. D. with
extra seats, but any study of existing ani-
mals, especially those in the dairy barn, won't
oQ_ * * * There are about a dozen institu-
tions in the United States which advertise the
Ph. D. degree for agricultural studies and all
the managers of those graduate schools will
^oundly deny what is written here — but it is
the exact truth just the same. + * +

"One of the crying needs of today is a high
grade graduate school where rigid studies in
real practical work can be pursued and where
academic degrees, honestly carved, will be
cordially bestowed * * * It has often been
pointed out that the American university in-
stead of being a free democracy Is In fact the
most absolute monarchy known in modern
civilization. English and Germany universi-
ties retain the ancient and much more demo-
cratic form of organization, but an American university
Is ruled by an autocrat omnipotent as the owner and
msnager of any manufacturing corporation."

These and inany other things does our professor
dilate upon, and he finally draws up a number of con-
structive suggestions for the purpose of making the
agricultural departments of colleges of real worth.

If conditions such as described are applicable to any
college now cooperating with the A. A. N. we may
safely assume that the directors thereof will have to
mend their ways.

In accordance with our annual custom, we publish
in this issue the names, addresses and other data of the
officers and committees of the Society of American
Florists for the year 19:!!, together with the latest por-
traits of many of the leading lights. These pages might
well be extracted from the issue and filed for future
reference, together with the pages in our issue of last
week wherein we gave a Directory of Trade and Allied
Organizations. All this informative matter will un-
doubtedly come in handy for reference many a time
during the year 1931, and that is the reason why we
urge that subscribers save these pages now while the
idea is fresh in their minds. If this is done, later on
we will not be compelled to write inquirers — who de-
stroy their copies now and want this information later —
to the effect that we are entirely out of copies. In these
days of high paper cost, publishers make it a point not
to keep any undue quantity of back numbers.

A New Feature of Our Nursery Department

It gratifies us to announce that we have made arrange-
ments with Samuel Newman Baxter to furnish The Ex-
change one article each month, giving the work for that
month as it applies to the nursery industry.

January work for nurserjonen appears in this issue.

Mr. Baxter, himself a practical nurseryman, was for
years in close touch with the late Joseph Meehan, the
great exponent of nursery practice, and has therefore
had excellent opportunities to become acquainted with
all phases of the nursery business.

Tulips, Narcissus and Hyacinth bulbs, to the num-
ber of 335,000, sent out in the Congressional seed dis-
tribution in 1930, were grown at home (?), says a state-
ment from the Dept. of Agriculture. Let us hope, for the
sake of the reputation of American bulb growing, that
these bulbs gave greater satisfaction and won more
friends than the general run of garden seeds sent out
through the generosity (?) of our Congressmen and
Representatives.

Our Eastern representative is continuing his investi-
gations on the economy of oil vs. coal and further re-
ports may be looked for shortly. There are many grow-
ers interested in learning all the details which can be
ascertained and the evidence for and against is being
carefully sifted just so far as said evidence is obtain-
able. There are hundreds of consumers of oil in other
industries, especially in the East, but with the majority,
perhaps, of these the question of economy has been sub-
ordinate to that of obtaining any fuel for heat.

The National Publishers' Association, Inc., at a re-
cent deliberation concerning the advisability of estab-
lishing proper representation and consideration of the
publishers' interests in matters between the employers
and employees of the printing trade, hit on the excellent
phrase, "United we stick, divided we are stuck." This
aphorism, slightly modified, but with similar ideas in
view, has its bearing on our own industries as well. Our
trades may well put it: "Cooperating we go ahead; di-
vided, we stand still."

Because of the terrific increase in prices of making
halftones and photoengraving, it undoubtedly has been
noticed by our readers that for the past two and three
years we have not been using anything like the number
of illustrations that were used by us "befoh de war."
Not content with the present wage scale, which is far
and away in excess of what the printers were accorded
as a result of the October to December (1930) arbitra-
tion and of which we wrote last week, the photoen-
gravers have made another demand upon their employ-
ers for more money and, this being rejected, went out
on strike, Jan. 3. So it may be that for a time to come
The Exchange will have no illustrations whatsoever
in its columns.

As a general thing, just about this time, a host of
florists and growers are bemoaning the fate and care-
lessness that led them to leave the greenhouse repairs
unattended to until the coming of ice and snow made
such work extremely difficult if not impossible. And
this year! Here it is Jan. 4th, and many of us, even
as far north as New York, can work outdoors most all
day in our shirtsleeves and enjoy it. Therein lies an op-
portunity ; viz, let us pretend that it is bitterly cold, that
icicles hang from the eaves, that the wind howls pierc-
ingly in the corners ; then let us discover those over-
looked broken panes and leaky sashes and bemoan them
just as we would do if the temperature was below zero.
And then, let us go out and mend them forthwith, in the
balmy air and under the kindly rays of the Midwinter
sun.

In our issue of Jan. 1, we printed ex-President A. L.
Miller's valedictory to the members of the S. A. F.
and O. H. While Mr. Miller has vacated the administra-
tive chair, there is not the slightest doubt but that he
will continue his interest in the society all the years
of his Ife, and that during this present year, particularly,
being an officer ex-officio, he will keep himself in close
touch with all that goes on in the course of its execu-
tive control and direction. The benefit of his counsel
and advice will be eminently worth while.

This week, in another column, Thomas Roland of
Nahant, Mass., the incoming president, addresses a
splendid letter of appeal to the men of the national so-
ciety. Oftentimes, an editor tires of calling attention to
things which should be done, the men who write the
articles get tired as well; possibly, on the other hand,
the men to whom these appeals are written become
equally tired of the whole thing. Yet, we all admit that
unless the effort is made at personal sacrifice of time
and unless the labor is given freely, without remunera-
tion on the part of the officers, progress would be se-
verely interfered with — in fact, there would be none.
So then, if our officers are willing to sacrifice their
time and money and use all their efforts for the fur-
therance of the cause of floriculture, certainly the least
that can be done by the rank and file is, not only to lis-
ten attentively, but also to act upon the suggestion?
which are thrown out to them. These, when availed of
by those who take the matter to heart, lead on not to
fame and fortune only, but also to contentment and
happiness ; and after all, it is the possession of the lat-
ter two that is most to be envied.

American Carnation Society

Thirtieth Annual Convention, Washington,
D. C, Jan. 26 and 27, 1921. The exhibition and
the business sessions to be held in the New
Willard Hotel

In the foreword of the premium schedule, just re-
ceived, we find a paragraph of encouragement, which we
here reproduce :

"Trade conditions have now settled down to normal, with
good prospects for an abundance of stock, and there is every
reason to expect an unusually fine exhibition. The members
are urged to make exhibits of the standard sorts more freely
than was done the past two years. While the new varieties
are intensely interesting, it is only by comparison with the
leading standard varieties that it ia possible to form an in-
telligent opinion of their merits. The novelty raisers will
show their varieties, and it is up to you to set the pace for
them with the best of the standard sorts. Separate classes
are provided. Come to the meeting personally, to stage your
blooms and to make comparisons. However, should you be
unable to attend, ship your blooms, express prepaid, and
the exhibition committee will stage them for you. Notify
the secretary in advance. If you have a noteworthy plant
or bloom of any other kind of flower, space will be provided
for exhibition.

The request to show leading standard varieties so as
to obtain thereby a comparison with the newer kinds is
one that should be followed because only by having the
standard sorts face to face with the new varieties can
the carnationist judge absolutely which is the better.

Particulars of the business meeting were given in our
issue of Jan. 1, page 34, so they need not be repeated
here.

All exhibits for competition, except those for certifi-
cates of merit, must be in position by 1 p.m., Jan. 36,
at which time the judging is to begin. New varieties,
however, may be staged at any time during the exhibi-
tion, for certificates of merit.

A charge of $2 will be made for each and every
entry made later than Jan. 16, and when they are
brought on for competition, the variety must be cor-
rectly labeled by name or number, as the case may be.
The society provides a uniform card for labeling, and
varieties not so labeled with said card will not be con-
sidered by the judges. These cards will be delivered at
the exhibition hall on the morning of Jan. 26 to those
who have previously applied for them.

Readers who are interested in exhibiting and who by
reason of their being non-members of the A. C. S. have
not received a schedule of premiums, should apply with-
out loss of time to the secretary, A. F. J. Baur, Rock-
wood ave. and 38th St., Indianapolis, Ind., for a copy
thereof. *

The varieties eligible to compete for the Fred Dorner
Memorial Medal this year are as follows : Edna, by
Nic Zweifel; No. 167 (12), by F. Dorner & Sons Co.;
No. 119 (13), by F. Dorner & Sons Co.; Donald, by
"Strouts" Inc. ; No. 26.16 C, by Mt. Greenwood Ceme-
tery Association.

A Contest for Keeping Qualities

The Texas prize ($50 in cash) is oft'ered by the fol-
lowing Texas concerns : Baker Bros., Ft. Worth ;
Wolfe, The Florist, Waco; Otto Lang, Lang Floral
and Nursery Co., Dallas ; R, C. Kerr, Houston ; and
Griffing Nurseries, Port Arthur. This should insure a
vigorous competition. The conditions call for 100
blooms of one variety to be shown in one vase ; the
competition is open to any variety, seedling or standard
sort. These exhibits will be scored for quality in the
afternoon of the first day, using the regular schedule of
points. A second scoring will be made in the afternoon
of the second day for condition only, allowing 100 points
for perfect.

Now comes the interesting part : One point will be
allowed for each hour elapsed between the time when
the blooms were delivered to the express company and
the time set for staging. Express receipt, showing the
time of acceptance, must be deposited with the secretary.
The conditions call for a total shipping distance which
must be not less than 500 miles ; to enable competitors
at a shorter distance to enter this contest it has been
provided that blooms may be shipped and reshipped.
providing the original wrapping is sealed and left un-
disturbed, and an express receipt showing each reship-
ment is submitted. Not more than 110 blooms must
be packed in one box and the package must be turned
over to the secretary unopened, to be unpacked and
staged by the committee. Entries arriving too late to
be staged on the afternoon of the first day, will be de-
barred from competition.

The Judges

The gentlemen who are to act as judges are as fol-
lows: S. J. Goddard of Framingham, Mass.; Jos. H.
Hill of Richmond, Ind. ; Chas. W. Johnson of Rock-
ford, 111, ; David S. Ward of Queens, N. Y. ; E. Saun-
ders of Lewiston, Me. ; and John H. Dunlop of Rich-
mond Hill, Ont.

It Will Be Good to be There

The features of the business meetings will be those
wherein W. D. Howard of Milford, Mass., will give
his experience with using soil continuously for more
than one year, and that by Chas. P. Mueller, who will
give details of his plan for increasing his cut of Carna-
tions for Mother's Day.

It is not only hoped for but expected that this thir-
tieth annual exhibition at Washington will be up to the
old standards of lively competition. It must be so if the
Carnationists of the country intend to keep that flower
to the fore. Authorities seem inclined to the belief that
in recent years the prestige of the Carnation as a com-
mercial flower has suffered through the fact that it has
not been continuously given the attention necessary to
keep it where it belongs, this being accounted for the
past six years through the opening of the World War,
the depression which followed, our own entry into the
war and the consequent slackening of interest in every
kind of exhibition.

Any grower having what he considers good blooms
and the ambition to make that fact known, should
place an entry in one or more of the classes The
fact that it only takes from 50 to 100 blooms of a va-
riety to secure entry certainly should not strain any
grower's resources. We consider that the premium
schedule offers opportunities for all and we heartily
wish to see these opportunities taken advantage of to
the full.

In a New Year's Day announcement, Vice-President
David G. Grillbortzer, of the American Carnation So-
ciety, made public the names of the committee members
who will serve in connection with the forthcoming an-
nual convention in this city.

Mr. Grillbortzer has completed arrangements with
the manager of the New Willard Hotel for the use of
the ballroom on the tenth floor for the business meetings
of the convention. These arrangements had to be en-
tered into quickly, because bookings for these accom-
modations must be made well in advance of convention
dates. All other details will be made by the committees,
the personnel of which are as follows :

Executive Committee: David G. Grillbortzer, Chairman;
Adolph E. Gude, Vice Chairman; Otto Bauer, Treasurer;
Adolph Gude, Sr., William F. Gude, George W. Hess, J.
Harper Hetherington, R. Lloyd Jenkins, Fred H. Kramer,

I The Law of Hybridizing

;[ regret that it should even seem necessary for me to
' ite an answer to the reply made to my defense of
J chard Diener's proposition on the announced law of
Ibridizing, but it seems so clear from the reply of "W"
t It he has not grasped the fundamental principal under-
Ing the announced law that I am constrained to try,
;| least to state it. I have no doubt but that "W" could,
i a very short time, place himself in position to ob-
!ve much in the way of vegetation, but being a book
1 iewer he must devote his time to that, and this
1 ;essarily deprives him of that intimate study of the
\»s of Nature that is necessary in order to evolve a
s tement of those laws.

; There has been much accomplished beyond the con-
1 2S of the borough of Manhattan, even in little villages,
I it has been of lasting benefit to the world. Bur-
I ik has done wonders and he has accomplished it all
it in the field where his life has been spent. So has
'. inderd, who suffered privations in his early life be-
1 ise of his devotion to his work. Likewise on the
. ciiic Coast, Richard Diener has spent his life in an
1 ort to benefit humanity. Men who so live are entitled
I the respect and confidence of humanity. Their fame
• 11 rest upon their accomplisfiments but their lives are
irthy of emulation by men in every walk of life. Con-
I uctive work builds up humanity and has brought us
I't of a wilderness into a thriving nation so that now
: ; can devote a little of our time to the finer arts.
Not a single author can be found to controvert the
ct that much may be accomplished by hybridizing and
lit by carefully selecting parents, the offspring of such
osses will have increased vigor and size. In support of
;is I quote from "Plant Breeding," by L. H. Bailey
id A. W. Gilbert, because it is a rule of ethics that you
i e not permitted to impeach your own witnesses.
'"Crossing between different plants of the same va-
'';ty gives a stronger and more productive offspring than
(ises from self-fertilization." "Plant Breeding," page
13.

!0n the same page is shown Fig. 31 — "Imbred Corn
■;ints, showing lessened vigor of growth." He states on
jge 114 that "The average total gain in height of the
ossed over the uncrossed was as 100 to 77, or about
'• per cent in Darwin's experiments with Morning
ories." He states on page 116 : "The results (of cross-
;;) have been so marked as to admit of no doubt as to
ieir character." On page 117 he gives figure 33,
mowing the increased size of California Black Walnut
ought about by crossing California Black Walnut with
istern Black Walnut, and on page 119, he shows a hy-
id Walnut (Juglans California Nigra) reaching double
.e height of ordinary trees, so Bailey and Gilbert do
; t despise the increased vigor resulting in increased size
,iich "W" professes to regard as vulgar. On page
[3 these authors show variation in hybrid Pineapples,
me of them shown as of great size. In this connec-
>n they state : "We may remark again that, because of
e unequal and unknown powers of the parents, we can

never predict what characters will appear in the hybrids
although we are now beginning to underitand the rea-
sons and to have rather delinite expectations as to proba-
bilities. ' Lmdley said hfty years ago: "Hybridizing is
a game of chance played between man and plants." On
page 3'J7 we liiid Bailey says this: "Eventually, uf course,
we shall be able to formulate somewhat dehnite state-
ments as to how to proceed to secure desired results,
and then the literature of plant-breeding can be intelli-
gently rewritten."

It would seem, therefore, that Bailey, Gilbert and
Lindley were in the dark as to the result of their hy-
bridizing. Evidently none of them had established or
evolved a law governing hybridizing, in fact, they say
so in the' language quoted. They each were able to
make crosses but they did not know whether it would
be larger or smaller, refined or coarser than the par-
ents. It was a guess and so far it was a leap in the
dark because to tliat e.xlent tliey did not know what
they were doing. No rule of action guided them. Now
Diener, in his "Law of Hybridizing," gives us the
rule of action which if followed, will produce definite
results and we can forecast those results with reasonable
certainty. On page 9 of "The Law of Hybridizing,"
under the title "Modification of Color on Form of
Flowers," he states : "The pollen bearing parent is al-
ways the dominating factor in changes of form or
color — the pollen should be taken from the individual
which shows the desired feature. If a darker flower
is desired take the pollen from a darker or more pro-
nounced color. If a lighter shade is desired select pollen
from the plant of lighter shade. Size may be increased
or diminished in the same way and by following the
same law."

Figure 1 shows a small pollen parent, one-half the
size of the ovule parent B. Under such a condition the
resulting offspring C will be one-half the size of the
pollen-bearing parent. To increase the size, use parents
of the same size; see figure 3 on the same page. Bailey
and Gilbert show increases in size in figures 32 and 33,
noted in "Plant Breeding" and in figure 34 they show
the variation in hybrid Pineapples for which they
frankly say they cannot account. Diener says he can
account for it. They note results where they have made
crosses but have not gone farther. The farthest Bailey
goes is to say on page 123, "Although we are now be-
ginning to understand the reasons and to have rather
definite expectations as to probabilities." He states no
principle upon which such expectations are founded.
Diener states the principle of action upon which we
may base such expectations. There is no mistaking his
position, if he is right then the world owes him a pro-
found debt of gratitude.

"W" suggests that we overlook environment. What
has location to do with it? If the law is sound it
will apply with equal force to any location and soil
that will produce plant life.

Now as to varieties, "W" has only to interview flower
growers and read flower magazines and he will learn
much of which he seems now to be in ignorance. Charles
Zeestraten of Bemus Point, Long Island, can give him
information. We can name a dozen Eastern growers
who grow them. Look up the records of Gladioli ex-
hibitions and see what varieties have won prizes and
certificates of merit. It will be worth while. The writer
is not the originator of a single variety now on the
market, yet he is growing more than four hundred va-
rieties and plants annually, about fifty thousand bulbs;
he has tried to get every good variety grown and is
still in the market for anything good. He only wants
to be fair and despises pettish criticism that serves no
good purpose. There is but one question to be answered
— has Diener solved the problem of making crosses
with reasonable certainty of results? No one else has
stated any law so Diener is the man to whom we shall
pay honor if time shall prove him to be correct in his
deductions. We must earnestly trust he has lighted the
beacon that shall guide our way. William H. Phipps.

The American Rose Society

The contemplated trip of the members of the Ameri-
can Rose Society to Portland (Ore.) which was given
in our columns recently as to come off in June 19:21.
was an error. The intention of the society is to make
the trip in June 192:2. Those interested will please note
this correction.

Blue Hydrangeas

To the Editor of The Florist^ Exchange:

Under the above caption in your issue of Jan 1,
Mr. Barron asks who remembers the splendid Blue
Hydrangeas that used to be a feature around the
house of the late Samuel Thorne at Millbrook. New
York. Well do I remember them, for it was my duty
for a period of years, under Mr. Powell's direction,
to care for these particular plants ; a tablespoonf ul

cif aluni to the can of water used three times a week
according to how plants dried out, etc, during the
growing season, was the formula for watering and
the flowers produced the second year were a beauti-
ful even blue. I might mentipn that as plants grew
older they did not respond so readily to this treat-
ment, and when afterward treatments with alum were
given up, the flowers lost their beautiful blue color
entirely. F. G. Sealev.

A Tree Planting Pioneer

Adolf Muller, of the De Kalb Nurseries, Norristown,
Pa., may not have reached national notoriety, but he is
making progress along that, to the conscientious worker,
difficult road. Mr. Muller is not only a grower of trees
for ornamental purposes, but he has long been an
advocate for national afforestation. He believes in the
Danish system of planting at least one tree for every
one cut down, and as a proof of his earnestness, he has
planted no less than 400 acres at his own expense.

Mr. Muller is therefore gratified over the fact that
the State of Pennsylvania has voted $35,000,000 to be
expended on afforestation during the ne.xt ten years.

Apart from his interest in tree planting, Mr. Muller is
both a botanist and a geologist. During a recent hunt-
ing trip to the Yukon and Alaska, he gathered together
a collection of botanical and mineral specimens and
photographs such as has never before been known.
E.xamples of these are to be placed in several of the
leading museums in New York and Pennsylvania.

Samuel H. Cushing

Samuel H. Cushing, for many years a florist on Port-
land St., Rochester (N. Y.), died Dec. 21 at his home,
aged 86 years. He had been in poor health for a long
time. Mr. Cushing was a native of Tamworth, where
he received his education. He resided in Rochester 67
years and ranked well as a florist. He is survived by
his wife and a daughter, Mrs. Belle Chalmers.

Charles Janichen and Daughter

The wife of Charles Janichen, a well known horti-
culturist of Glen Cove, L. I., suffered a double bereave-
ment during the week ending Dec. 18.

Mr, Janichen was born in Germany 59 years ago,
coming to this country in 1893. He held several im-
portant positions during this period. His daughter,
Mrs. Lucille Garrett, being seriously ill in Wash-
ington, D. C, his wife had gone to tend her, but, in-
the meantime, her husband was taken to Brooklyn Hos-
pital where he underwent an operation which terminated
fatally. His death occurred three days before that
of his daughter, but his wife was not aware of the
fact tmtil she returnjed home after her daughter's
demise. Both bodies were buried at Glen Cove, Dec. 17.

In addition to his widow, two sons survive Mr.
Janichen.

John G. HeinI

John G. Heinl, prominent florist of Terre Haute, Ind.,
passed away at 1 a.m., Friday, Dec. 31. Funeral serv-
ices were held at his late residence, 204 N. Eighth St.,
Jan. 3, and the burial was in Highland Lawn Cemetery.
At the beside at the time of death, were his wife and
son, Fred G. Heinl. Another son, Robert D. Heinl, had
been hastily summoned from Washington, D. C, but
was not able to arrive until the afternoon.

Mr. Heinl was a member of the Society of American
Florists and was the surviving member of a well-known
family of florists, Joseph Heinl of Jacksonville, 111.,
George A. Heinl of Toledo, O., and Lawrence Heinl of
Terre Haute, all brothers.

Mr. Heinl's flowers were awarded prizes at Indian-
apolis and other exhibitions and for years he supplied
Chicago and Eastern markets. He built, and at one
time owned, the greenhouses of Cowan Bros, at 31st
and Spruce sts. He was extremely fond of travel and
at one time took the local agency for the more important
trans-Atlantic steamship companies.

He married Miss Mary Marguerite Debs and was a
member of the city council and more recently a member
of the park board. He was vice-president of Davis
gardens, and with his son Fred was instrumental in ob-
taining this plant for Terre Haute, one of the lareest
of its kind in the United States. Mr. Heinl was an E'k.
a Scottish Rite Mason and a member of Zorah Temple.

A New Year Address from President Roland

President Thomas Roland, under whose guidance the S. A. F. and O. H. is to "carry on" through-
out the year 1921, issues, his first presidential address, here reproduced. It deserves and should
have, not only a careful reading, but be accompanied by a mental promise on behalf of every
reader of real honest support. A society is just like an army; to achieve it must work together.

'*A11 for one and one for all"

As president of the Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists I extend hearty greetings
and best New Year wishes to all members of our great
society, and would extend these also to all interested in
horticulture. The profession and practice of horticul-
ture is the most delightful of all occupations, and lovers.
of plants and flowers who have the good fortune to be.
engaged in it have much for which to be thankful.

The science of horticulture offers unexcelled oppor-
tunities to the young men of our country. Not only are
interest and enthusiasm increasing, while they are too
well grounded upon human desire and welfare to be a

mere passing fad, but the possibilities of horticultural
improvement based upon scientific study and research
seem tremendous. The purely scientific side is scarcely
touched, and here is a wide area of possible expansion
into new forms, new uses, new methods, and new com-
mercial advantages- Here, therefore, business, science,
art, and beauty combine to afford great chances of a life
of pleasure and profit to the many who love Nature
and her ways in this form.

Outlook

The outlook for the coming year seems good, al-

though many readjustments are yet to be made in gen-
eral industry in our country before we may again go
on safely and without a danger of violent alternations
of "feast and famine." Readjustments will extend into
our own industry and we must be ever watchful to see
where reconstruction will be helpful,, not too conserva-
tively waiting and wishing for a return to "old condi-
tions," which we will ne\er see. and hold to step for-
ward when a forward step will help. There is more
lack of progress through inertia or fear than through
errors in seeking new ways. It is even nobler to make
new blunders than to perpetuate old ones.

The cost of production today is excessively high, but
is slowly decreasing, although it will not. apparently,
reach the low level of former years. High prices may
make a poor market, but, on the other hand, people love
plants and flowers and hardly need to be taught or urged
to use them. They only need to learn the many ways
in which they may be used and to be reminded of the
joys which come with them. The uncertain period of
general readjustment will require more careful sales-
manship than during the last two years, .^im for high
grade, healthy stock, care and economy in prodnclii»n.

and fair prices and efficient service. The deflation now
taking place will not be over quickly, and doubtless
troubles will come also to our industry, but study, care
and attention will carry us through to ever greater suc-
cesses.

National Flower Show

While the great National Flower Show to be held in
Cleveland does not come until the Spring of 1923, it is
already time to plan for it — both for the show and for
the exhibits. Let us all aim to make it the finest horti-
cultural exhibition ever known. The national shows
have hitherto been handicapped by small or unsuit-
ably arranged buildings and spaces, but the fine new
building at Cleveland is not only ample in size, but is
believed to be exceedingly well suited to the purpose. I
hope every grower of plants and flowers, wherever lo-
cated, will set about preparing something for Cleveland,
1922 — it pays as an advertising and publicity medium,
and a real responsibility for the success of the show
rests upon the shoulders of our members and those co-
operating with us, all of whom should be exliibitors.

Publicity

One of the valuable things accomplished by your so-
ciety was to draw the attention of producers and dis-
tributers to the value of advertising. The retailers have
spent for advertising — usually locally — large sums. This
backwardness of other branches of the profession was
doubtless due partly because their advertising could
rarely be local and individual, while many believed this
work properly belonged to the retailers. At the time
producers took up the question they were practically
the only great group of producers who were doing noth-
ing to improve the market for their product. Read the
advertising in any magazine and see how much is by
producers, and the proportion is steadily increasing.
Combination advertising, as laid out by your publicity
committee, has been well started, but the firm basis and
benefit will crumble away unless heartily supported
financially. I have recently attended committee meetings
in Cleveland and Indianapolis and I am sorry to sav
the committee are somewhat discouraged over the slow
response to their appeals. They are working heartily
for you — help them by quick action. (Here is one form
of advertising which surely has proven its worth — will
you forget about it and let it drop? Much more can
be done, great things are planned, your committee is
experienced and efficient — it should not be necessary to
say more in order to enlist further support and support
from new quarters.)

Affiliation

I find a fear expressed here and there that the in-
creasing number of special societies may weaken our
parent society''. I believe the S. A. F. and O. H. will in
time become the national clearing house for all of these
others, which must frequently work in cooperation with
each other, and that many things — like our national ad-
vertising campaign, for example — will naturally be han-
dled by the parent society. Men belong to more than
one of these special societies, and time and expense of
travel is saved when meetings and conventions are held
in the same week at the same place. Working separately
there would come an overlapping, or a duplication of
effort. Organizations would not know what others
were doing, and there would be the inability to profit
by mistakes and successes. Great shows are better than
little ones. In many ways affiliation is an advantage,
and the near future should develop some plan for this
already much discussed feature.

Advice Always Obtainable

Fellow members, always remember that the best ef-
forts of your officers and committees come to nothing
unless you all press forward with interest and assistance.
Write to your officers upon any matter which appeals
to you as interesting to the Society. Remember also
that any members may consult the following, free of
charge, upon any matters where advice is needed, and
where they or any of them can be helpful.

Botanist. — Dr. N. L. Britten, New York Botanical Garden,
Bronx Park, N. Y.

Entomologist. — Prof. H. C. Irish, Board of Education,
St. Louis, Mo.

Pathologist. — Dr. Wm. H. Martin, New Jersey Agricul-
tural Experiment Stations, New Brunswick, N. J.

I sometimes wonder if members realize what an
amount of work their committees do for them — often
dropping their own personal affairs, traveling long dis-
tances, generally at their own expense, and giving freely
of their time and strength with no other thought than
to be of service. Does this mean nothing to you? I do
not believe it. All they ask in return is for active
interest, support of what is proposed, and a willingness
to help the society. There are so many ways in which
associated effort is better than individual effort, and
so many ways in which the individual is benefited by the
experiences which associations aff^ord. that it seems
wholly unnecessary to point out again that your con-
nections with our active general society are vital to your

personal pleasure and interest, and to your business effi-
ciency. Much has been done for our industry. Much
more may be done with your help. I do not doubt that
you realize all these things, and that the men to whom
y-ou have entrusted the guidance of your organization
may feel full confidence that you will march forward in
full swing with them.

Japanese Beetle Quarantine

E. D. Ball, Acting Secretary of Agriculture, an-
nounces that Regulation 4, under notice of Quarantine
No. 48, which relates to the States of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, has been amended to read as follows :

(1) Farm, garden, and orchard products of all kinds,
including fresh or perishable crops, such as green Corn,
Tomatoes, Beans, Peas, Cantaloupes, Watermelons.
Grapes, Raspberries, Blackberries, Cherries, Peaches,
Apples, and all other fresh fruits and vegetables; (2)
grain and forage crops of all kinds; (3) nursery, orna-
mental, and greenhouse stock and all other plants, in-
cluding bulbs and cut flowers; and (4) soil, compost,
and manure other than fresh manure shall not be moved
or allowed to be moved interstate to any point outside
the infested area quarantined for the Japanese beetle
unless and until such articles have been inspected by
the United States Department of Agriculture and certi-
fied to be free from the Japanese beetle : Provided, That
in the case of nursery, ornamental, and greenhouse
stock, bulbs, and all other plants except cut flowers, this
quarantine and regulations shall apply throughout the
year; in the case of cut flowers and all other products,
for the period between June 15 and Nov. 1.

This amendment shall become effective on Dec. 1,
1920.

We leave it to our readers in the States mentioned to
decide whether they are better or worse off for the
amendment.

"Making Advertisements and Making Them
Pay"

Do We Measure Up to Its Dignity and Possibilities

At the risk of making our readers vain we are going
to ask them once more if they realize what a magnificent
foundation they have for an advertising campaign in
the commodities they handle and in their slogan, "Say
it with Flowers." This truth has just come home to
us with redoubled force after reading a review of a
new book on "Making Advertisements and Making
Them Pay," (Roy S. Durstine) and applying some prin-
ciples quoted therefrom to the publicity campaign being
carried on by the S. A. F..

There are four duties of an advertisement, says the
author. It should "Be seen, be read, be believed, be
convincing." How does the "Say it with Flowers" move-
ment measure up to that? Admirably, say we.

In the first place it certainly is seen in the magazines
and papers, on store windows, some billboards and de-
livery wagons, in terms of poetry, song and story. (This,
however, is not to say that there is not generous op-
portunity for an even wider, more general distribu-
tion.)

Secondly, people cannot help reading the slogan be-
cause it is so brief, so direct, so self-sufficient and to
the point — and, having read it they are inoculated with
the germ of the whole idea. Thirdly, a bare statement
can hardly be examined as to whether or not it is be-
lieved, yet, inasmuch as a moment's reflection shows
one how much can be said with flowers, the idea is, in-
deed, plausible and entirely acceptable. The same ar-
gument applies to the fourth quality — its ability to
convince. A direct command or exhortation is neces-
sarily more convincing than a question, a long phrase
open to modification, or any other form of slogan. And
it becomes effective in proportion to the number, fre-
quency and force of its repetition.

Herein lies the secret of the greatest success of the
campaign, namely the need of keeping it up, of mak-
ing the slogan a household phrase as well as a business
asset, of driving home the thought of flowers until
people do not have to be told or urged to buy them,
but just to be simply guided and assisted in the carrying
out of their intention.

So much for the campaign as a whole. The merit
and success of any individual advertisement, whether
prepared by the society or by a single florist, can be
measured by the same four-sided last and we suggest
that retailers really interested in employing "Publicity
that Pays" carefully study and analyze the advertise-
ments that they come across.

Although, as the author of the book mentioned points
out, no art, least of all that of advertising, can be
boiled down to a formula, we can ask in connection with
any ad, "Does it (a) focus the attention, (b) interest
the reader, (c) create a desire (d) show that you can
satisfy that desire, and (e) stimulate action"?

Sometimes, perhaps, all these results can be attained
at one and the same time. More often it may be best
to depend upon a coherent series of carefully prepared

advertisements to carry the reader from the fi.rst stage *
of arrested attention to that of actual purchase. In
the latter case, of course, the medium must be one of '
frequent appearance — a daily or weekly.

Since it is impracticable in the space at hand to at-
tempt to carry these suggestions to the point of show- '
ing just how to frame advertisements, the thought that
we are most anxious to emphasize is that of the size and
dignity of the subject of advertising. Here, for ex-
ample, we have a 264 page, $3 book on the subject, re-
viewed at length by one of America's foremost literary
authorities and college professors (Brander Matthews)
and called by him "mighty interesting reading."

In other words, advertising is a worthy subject for
the consideration of the Diggest minds; it is an aid
adaptable to the biggest business and no less to the
smallest; it has proved its worth and established its
possibilities in countless fields and instances. It is
nothing more nor less than a measure of your bigness
and ability to note how thoroughly our florists are
making the most of it — that is, by joining hands in sup-
port of the national campaign and by supplementing
that cooperative general activity with your own, local,
specific crusade.

Winter Flowers, West and East

We, of the North and East, read of the "thirty-second
annual tournament of Roses" at Pasadena, Calif., on
Jan. 1, at which "more than a million flowers are said
to have been used in decorating the 125 -floats," with
mingled emotions. Ordinarily just about this time
Snowdrops, Ice plants and "Freez-yers" are more in
keeping with our weather conditions than Roses, yet
such is the bountiful goodness of Nature in this year
of grace 1920-21, that our coal supplies are going far-
ther than we dared to hope for. Moreover and besides,
we note press reports from New England to the effect
that unsuspecting Dandelions and Pansies have been dis-
covered blooming gaily in sundry sheltered spots. But
frankly, now, is all this a bit more than sufficient to
make up for the Winter we enjoyed (?) last year?

"There Are Always the Flowers"

The Kansas City Star tells the story of a couple who,
married in 1877, started out from Chicago on their
honeymoon trip in a covered wagon in search of just
the right homestead site, and traveled all over the West
until, a few years ago, they "settled down" on the banks
of the Nemaha River in Kansas. Naturally, their quar-
ter century of trekking brought them many adventures,
most of which are mentioned but casually if at all in
the diary kept throughout all the years by "Aunt Hat."
Naturally, too, their simple, often isolated manner of f
life developed in them a keen appreciation of the little •
things that make life worth while. For instance, as the ■
now venerable lady says, "I just loved moving in a i
wagon, and so did Joe. There were always the flowers •
and the grand sights of Nature in the mountains, on i
the desert and on the plain."

There is a truth that we must always remember, al-
ways be thankful for, and always keep before the eyes *
of others who may not, themselves, have learned it,
namely — "There are always the flowers" — ■to comfort '
and congratulate with, to give and to receive, for the
celebration of victories and the observance of anniver-
saries, to make dull days less dull and bright days more ■
bright.

Yes, indeed, there are always the flowers — one of the ■
richest, sweetest, most wholesome gifts of God to man.

The Ladies' Society of American Florists

Mrs. B. Hammond Tracy, Retiring President, sends i
Greetings to the Members

I have today sent to Mrs. Asmus, your president-elect,
the little wooden mallet, symbol of my official power,
and while I sent with it my congratulations and very
sincere good wishes, I assure you it was not without
a keen regret that a year of pleasant association as your
president was at an end.

May I ask that you give to Mrs. Asmus the same
loyal support and cooperation as you gave to me? It
will help her to carry on the work of the society. .We
shall hope for, and undoubtedly gain, many advantages
from the State presidents which she will appoint in
accordance with your vote of last August. These will
help us greatly in keeping society interests continually
in mind, bringing to our notice the word and activities
of individual members.

Since the opening of the Cedar Acres Flower Shop. I
feel very much more a member of the L, S. A. F. and
the term has a broader meaning; wider interests open
before me, and I want so much to hear of the activities
of other women.

With repeated thanks for all your thoughtful kind-
nesses to me through a year filled with pleasant memo-
ries, and with most cordial New Year's Greetings.
Very sincerely yours,

Kathryn Beech Tracy.

ground in December is unusual, yet much of it was
K last month and is suggested for January so long

mild weather prevails. It means that much time
■cd in Spring to have the ground ready, aside from

beneficial action of frosts upon the exposed furrows,
e same conditions will also permit digging stock for
rage cellars, or shipment South — another Spring-time

otect Your Stock

Rut Winter is still ahead, so if you have not already
ne so, protect with straw, corn fodder, or manure, as
ly be necessary, those plants which need this treat-
■nt. Leaves or a light mulching of straw or manure
ly save your English Ivy, Box edging, etc., but do not
lOther your plants. Paulownia imperialis of one or
o years growth may be wrapped in newspaper to
rry them over this critical perfod of their career. The
-ne applies to similar plants subject to Winter killing
their early stages.

)utlne Work

Then to get down to the more general routine work,
ntinuc the making of evergreen cuttings, lining them
It in sand on benches or in trays under glass. . Experi-
enl with some unusual type you may have in mind,
on't wait for the other fellow to amass a large stock
fore he tells you how to do it. Hard wood cuttings
' trees and shrubs are also now in order; tie them in
indies and pack away in moist sand to callous to be
ady for planting out in Spring.

nnual and Perennial Seed

The advertising columns of The Florists' Exchange
low many dealers in such. If sown now, seed will be
ell on the way toward salable plants by Spring. Tree
id shrub seed to be in readiness for Spring planting,
lould be secure from drying out and away from rats
id mice. Now is the time for fruit stock and root
■a f ting indoors. Experiment with any stock you think
meritorious.

ake Stock and Hunt Insects

Unless Summer is your favorite time for stock taking,
3W is a good time to do it and prepare or revise your
ock book to date. Inspection of plants for insect pests
ay be combined with stock taking; many are more
:adily detected when plants are dormant. Dig out and
irn all stock hopelessly infested, and spray with con-
ct insecticides, plants slightly infested with scale or
: which you have suspicions. Better still, spray all va-
eties subject to infestation. Look for bag worms on
e ArborvitK or other favorite host plants ; collect and
irn them. Do the same with &^g clusters of tussock
oth : spraying now does not affect them, so they should
■ collected and destroyed.

Haul manure to piles where you will need it, or
■read it broadcast on the ground to be planted, unless
ni prefer to use it right in the furrows at time of
anting. If stock taking is completed, make a list of
3ur "shorts" ; also of surpluses. Advertise for what
3u want and what you may have to sell in The Ex-

JANGE.

nining and Trimming

If these essentials have received your attention, you
light devote time to pruning and trimming. Cut back
ips where they are crowding or going too high. Com-
eting leaders in trees — evergreen and deciduous — should
e discouraged; remove the less desirable one, staking
nd tying up the remaining one if necessary. Don't "put
ff till tomorrow that which should be done today."

Making Things Easy

By LESTER G. HERBERT

j.st of us arc willing to fxpuiid clTuil uin.iigli lo he
nably suctcsslul. In fact, wc arc rather ionti ol
[^, "1 am doing the licst 1 can." Many times wc
'>(■ it, too, and yet when we sit down in the cool
1 ht and give ourselves up to a reflective half hour
,-e often forced to acknowledge that we might have
[ more successful and have had an easier time of
:we had taken certain elementary and precautionary
f earlier in our career.

I'len the corporation reports called for by the Gov-
!ent were due during the past Spring, anyone who
reason to go occasionally to the ofticial rcvcnne
itments had a singularly tine opportunity to study
m nature. People came rushingjn out of brcatn.
and without their facts and figures, and put theni-
;s and the revenue men to all sorts of trouble he-
they hadn't started out to keep their records ri.^lu
the first of the year.
)ery few minutes of a certain day some one came in
I was pronounced a "delinquent" for the reason that
I people had failed to file applications for extension
jTie. In some cases they were exceedingly indignant
I classed in this manner, and more than one of them
[:ed that they had known nothing about the legal
lirements of filing for extension,
each and every case the officers told them cour-
.ly but patiently that it was unfortunate but the
would make no exceptions even on account of those
were ignorant of it. In some cases heavy penalties
I levied because there was no way out.
s everyday life, many of us are comtmitly painiig
[itics because of things we have not done which we
|it to have done weeks, months, or years previously!
\ useless to say that we would like to go back, and
:ng the benefit of our present experience, try all over
|n— for that is out of the question.
i,t — the case is not hopeless, for we miist all go on
\i the point witere ive are now, and there is no earthly
hn w-hy we should not benefit in the future by fast
i riences. That is to say, we will be wise if we sit
\n by ourselves and make up our minds what we
1:1 have done in previous times to have made our
[less life easier, smoother, and more resultful.
■any of us have come to hard places which could
; been avoided, as well as not, if we had kept the
t sort of records and employed the right sort of
less methods. Fortunately, however, we are only
d to live one day at a time, and so we are not con-
ted by the problems of the whole future to be met
solved instantly.

. we can and should determine just what we can
otw — this month, this week, today, this hour, to build
i stronger and safer future.

fter the income and corporation reports were in,
(' business men were heard to say, "I am going to
i my bookkeeping system put in shape by an expert
: untant. We are facing all sorts of new taxes, and
I ;ral instructors are liable to drop in at any time. It
p to us to have an ironclad system which will be
i egnable. The old system was good, but it isn't com-
I : enough for future requirements. We must begin
: to get ready for next year's accounting."
jfiey were right — absolutely right, and those who do
' see far enough ahead to do likewise are liable to
: trouble.

I man in the retail business has never quite nnder-
[d why he was always having business difficulties.
,;-n financial disaster faced him, he sought what he
'lid have had in the first place — sound advice. When
as pointed out to him that he should have planned
like his discounts, have set aside a budget for adver-
[ig, allowed a sinking fund for depreciations, and
Jmged for a surplus fund for improvement and ex-
iiion, to say nothing of taking an annual vacation
iself, and keeping in touch with his own trade organi-
bn. he was indignant, declaring that he didn't have
( money to do it !

he man whom he had consulted looked him ove-
; ly and said, "Mr. Smith, if you haven't the canita'
i'o business with, or haven't got the brains and push
);et some one else to capitalize your efforts, or can-
., borrow the money and give reasonable security —
1- it's up to you to go out of business, off the walk.
': make room for some one else. You will make more
Hey and have less anxiety as an employee than as
t employer. But I know better than this, for I know'
\ you have assets enough so that you can offer sc-
>ty for a five thousand dollar loan. Go to it, borrow
i money, pay a fair percentage. Clean up your debts
[| this as a working capital, so that you can take your
i;ounts, and you will find that in the course of the next
or five years you will get back on to your feet
'ly but surely. You can take things comfortably

then. You are not ha\ing them comlurtable now. It's
up to you to plan toda_\' tor sounder business in the
future. Do zvluit you need lo do to make thai day dazcn
Its early as possible.

There arc lots of people in business who simply drift,
not knowing just exactly where thoy are at. what re-
sults they want to attain, or how to achieve them. Ha\e
a twilight hour h\ yourself. Make up your mind what
you want to do or be five years hence, and then plan
accordingly. Oo not blunder ahead blindly. Have a
well-defined, definite, correlated plan made up of such
parts that all constitute a perfect growing whole. Tiien
do your best every day, never leaving undone anylhini/
which will make your work of tomorrow or the day
after, or the day after that, easier, or pleasanter, or
safer.

Making things easy consists of doing -nrliat you
onght to do NOW, and doing it in the right way.

1. .'\n idea which cannot be weighed, measured, or
touched, may be so great as to transcend equipment,
machinery, and armies themselves.

* * *

3. It is extremely significant that the men who are
most successful in business, are the ones who know^ the
most about their business. And knowing a lot about
one's business, includes an intimate knowledge of the
customers to whom our merchandise appeals, their
habits, and their buying capacity.

* * *

3. Almost any problem may be solved if sufficient con-
centration, earnestness, and purpose are focussed upon

it.

* * *

4. The man who is in business must never lose sight
of the fact that patrons will go where they receive the
goods and service which pleases them most. One store
w'hich catered to suburban trade won large popularity
because it fitted each package with a little wire and
wooden handle, by which the purchase could be carried
easily.

A firm doing business in export trade to Alaska, won
favor not only because of the excellence of the prod-
uct, but on account of the convenience of the package
or box which was prepared expressly to be carried on
the standard size dog train. The boxes were even pro-
vided with handles so that they could be lashed in place
Naturally, such goods would arrive in excellent condi-
tion.

Are you making it an agreeable thing for people to
be served by your establishment?

* * *

.5. We are accustomed to think of our South Ameri-
can neighbors as rather slow and less progressive than
ourselves, but we must not be too sure. Those who
are prepared to speak with authority, say that South
American merchants have a saying among themselves
which is something of a parody on one of our own
pro\'erhs- They render it. "You can tell a concern by
the package it sends out." What sort of ah idea do

patrons and mere casual observers get of the packages
which leave your place of business?

6. In a special newspaper edition carrying a large
amount of advertising, the cleverest line headed one
piece of publicity which was two columns wide and the
depth of the page. The line read : "Calendars to be had
at our store for the asking — large figures, moon phases,
and weather forecast." There had been a scarcity of
calendars that year on account of the price of paper and
the cost of labor. This firm shrewdly argued that it
was worth their while to buy some calendars and to
have their own ad placed thereon. People would come
gladly to get these and would give them place through-
out the year in their homes. The cost of delivery was
nothing, and there was always chance of selling the
caller something else as well.

* * *

7. An idea which contains constructive, practical sug-
gestion is a valuable thing. It may change a dead busi-
ness to a live one, or make a prosperous individual out
of a man on the verge of failure.

* * *

8. The only way to have our business in good condi-
tion tomorrow is to do what ought to be done today.

* * *

9. The individual who pities himself and thinks that
everybody and everything is against him usually has no
one but himself to thank. The world is too busy a
place for whiners. No one owes you or me anything
except as we merit it by our own effort and worth.

10. Ne\er forget that men will do for in-
terest and love what they could not be in-
duced to do for money.

11. If ideas are to bear fruit they must be
put to work. Many a splendid one which
might have made its originator rich has come
to naught because it ended in talk. Vision
plus action spells Success.

Time to Demand a Change

Not so long since, it was stated that tailors
were not providing suitable buttonholes in
the men's coats, and that it was therefore use-
less to try and encourage the boutonnierc
idea until the clothing manufacturers had
been made to see the error of their ways.
We are unaware as to whether a deputation
of florists waited upon the designers of men's
clothing for 19:21. but as it would entail no
radical change, we imagine it would be easy
to influence the artists of the cloth, espe-
cially if it were "Said with Flowers." Wc
note, too, that in Atlanta, Ga., there was re-
ported a marked falling off in the demand
for ladies' corsage bouquets at Christmas, the
reason given, being that the style of dress
Cor undress) of today does not permit the
w^earing of a corsage. Is it not time to get
after the fashion plate people? It is no use
advocating the wearing of flowers if modern
dress prohibits it. The Muser.

The Public Forgets

People will not buy what they don't
know. Flowers are advertised too little —
the public forgets ! If you can't afford
a large ad use a small one, but be per-
sistent in its use. In the long run, it
will keep your name and your business
before them, so that when the time for
purchasing does come, they automatically
will think of you in connection with flow-
ers. The successful advertiser is the
one who sticks to it continually. Spas-
modic advertising is not satisfactory.

Most florists are content to think that
good flowers and good window displays
are all that is necessary, but the third
link — ADVERTISING — brings people
who do not pass your shop and who do
not see your windows and remember, the
masses are the ones to cater to. This
also gives your shop added prestige that
helps considerably when you have the
other two mentioned factors.

Tale University made a canvass among
the leading advertisers in the following
industries in order to learn what per-
centage of their total sales was being
used for advertising, and this is what
they found: Automobiles, 3.3 per cent;
I automobile accessories, 42 per cent; food
j products, 4.G per cent ; fountain pens,
j 5.3 per cent ; building materials, 3.4 per
, cent ; office supplies, 5.1 per cent ; opti-
cal goods, 7.3 ; paints and varnishes, 4
j per cent; candies and chewing gum, 8.1
I per cent ;

I This last item appeals to us as a factor
in determining what we ought to expend.
If it takes S.l per cent appropriation to
sell candy, what should we spend to ad-
vertise flowers? Or, shall we call it mer-
chandising and marketing flowers?

The best kind of advertising is that
which tells the simplest story, and es-
pecially is our business adapted to the
radiation of things that make for good
cheer and pleasure to all concerned.
When words fail, "Say it with Flowers."
What an applicable slogan to our busi-
ness !

Poor Richard says, "Plow deep, while
sluggards sleep," and we may take heed
by going stronger into our campaign lo-
cally and nationally. Our national cam-
paign, while simple, has caught the whole
country as you well know, and at the
same time has added dignity to our busi-
ness generally. Our advertising campaign
has had the effect of uniting all the flo-
rists into one large family group, which in
itself is a great factor, for it has already
created another, the new National Grow-
ers Association, which will help the busi-
ness in many ways toward higher devel-
opment.

No one can succeed with advertising
who could not succeed without it, and
conditions today in all lines that are
falling back forty and fifty per cent, prove
the effort the florists have made has
helped a great deal in keeping our sales
at a better average than would have been
possible without the campaign. We must
acknowledge this.

John Wanamaker's first day's profits
were devoted to advertising, and through-
out his entire career be has been devoted
to it to a large degree. John N. Willys
started life as a bicycle repairer in a coun-
try town and has become one of the larg-
est automobile manufacturers in the world.
His great success is largely due to his
faith in advertising. As he has person-
ally said: "I may not have been quick to
see some things, but at least I saw very
early in life that the road to prosperity
was coated with printer's ink." When

Curtis bad an unshakable faith in the
power of advertising and today these two
papers are more profitable than a gold

Faith — Hope — Optimism. Babson, the
statistician, says : "We need to regard the
periods of depression and prosperity."
Sheldon says : "We need to inject more
religion into business, one of confidence,
the Grolden Rule kind." And particularly
in times like these should our efforts be
stronger along the lines of the printed
word.

We should tell the public that for gifts
of dignity and personality, nothing will
reflect the character of the giver or will
appeal to the sentiment of the recipient
so well as do flowers and plants, regard-
less of the amount expended, be it small
or large.

Why not appeal to this type?

Reports from our Seattle, Wash., and

show that the cut flower and pot plant
business was booming to an even greater
degree than last year. Writing on Dec.
30, H. Niklas expresses the situation
thus : "The way they are working us |
this week almost makes me wish that I
had never seen or heard of the flower
business. If there is a dull business
spell in progress it has not reached the

Newark to New York-via Europe!! ' | 92 West Main St. <^^ I

Flowers have been resDonsible for all = ^si-^ 5

Flowers have been responsible for all
kinds of happenings since this old world
began whirling through space, but prob-
ably never until recently was a box of
Carnations responsible for a month's trip
to four ports of Europe and a complete
reorganization of the lifework plans of an
American boy. The interesting and un-
usual story as told in the Newark (N. J.)
Evening News of Dec. 31, runs, very
briefly, like this:

Max Goldberg, age 13. of 518 South
Eighteenth St., Newark, N. J., has for
some time been delivery boy for H. Stein,
a florist of 80 Park place, in the same
city. On Nov. 29, 1920. he was given a
box of Carnations to deliver to a party
sailing from New York on the S. S.
Kroonland. Reaching the ship only a few
minutes before its sailing time (and not
realizing it) he took the long desired op-
portunity to look about the internal
mazes of the mighty craft. By the time
he found his way to the deck, prepara-
tory to making a reluctant departure, the
ship was well under way — the New York
skyline was fast fading into the dis-
tance.

Learning to his astonishment that the
next stop for the ship was not Coney
Island, but Cherbourg, France, his first
thought was of his mother and what she
would think if he didn't get home on
time. These fears were soon allayed by
the ship's officers who, attracted^ by the
spirits and independence of the involun-
tary stowaway, agreed to send her a
wireless, and to find work for the boy
so that he could pay his way and remain
aboard until the Kroonland*s return to
New York.

Thus began a truly wonderful experi-
ence for Max, an experience that sur-
passed anything he had ever read in books
about the sea. As ^^bell hop," pantry aid.
dishwasher, general utility boy, mascot
and crew's companion, he learned nearly
all there was to learn about life on a.
liner, spent vastly interesting hours in
Cherbourg, Southampton, Antwerp and
Brussels, saw war relics and quaint for-
eign sights and characters, and finally
won a promise from the Kroonland's offi-
cers to take him on in a permanent ca-
pacity as soon as he was old enough and
could secure his mother's permission.

It was a jolly day for those at home
when, a month after he started out from
the florist's. Max oame home full to over-
flowing with tales of what he had done
and seen. And it was a proud day for
him, even if it did seem somewhat like
a "come down" to go back to the prosaic
business of delivering flowers for awhile
at least. But we wonder whether Max
hasn't a sort of soft spot in his heart
for Carnations — which were really the
cause of his wonderful cruise.

Trade Notes

The New Year's Day business com-
ing so closely on the heels of the Christ-
mas rush, helps to keep a stable market
for that period. Prices showed little
change ; short Roses being sold at .$12
per 100 and on up to §45 per 100 for the
best. Carnations sold at an average of
•SIO per 100. Prices on all Roses and
Carnations are due to take a tumble if
the Springlike weather keeps on. Snap-
dragon is poor and over_ priced ; it is
used principally on shipping orders.
Stevia is extra fine and when put in
boxes gratis, helps to modify the _ high
prices. Valley is plentiful, being shipped
in from Detroit and Chicago. Most of
the stock is grown from poor pips and
not worth the price asked. Single Daffo-
dils have made their appearance. Roman
Hyacinths have come back and are in
better demand at §6 per 100 than Valley
at S12. Chrysanthemums are done, the few
coming in are not valued except "as
funeral work stock. Sweet Peas are more
plentiful, but not in sufficient quantity
to go around. Yellow Narcissus is scarce,
white also is shortening up. With the
T'ptailers. the New Year business was
about the same as last year's : especially
to those whose patrons demand high class
work in basket and corsage arrangements
floes this apply.

Some of the lesser lights found business
a little behind last year's returns. Bloom-
ing plants sold fairly well, but the pub-
lic were well fed up on them at Christ-
mas time.

E. G. Gillette is handling some fine
Sweet Peas, as well as good Roses from
the Zettlitz Co.

Louis Kyrk has the first Roman Hya-
cinths ; also Baby Primrose and good
Stevia.

C. E. Critchell has been a busy man
supplying wild Smilax and other greens
for the many decorations. California
Heather and Violets are also handled in
quantity here.

The Wm. Murphy Co. handled quanti-
ties of choice cut Poinsettias during the
holidays. Their Sweet Pea growers are
beginning to cut some fine blooms.

-Tulius Baer. Fourth st. retailer, re-
ports the season business as the best ever
and all the regular and extra helpers
could handle.

H. W. Sheppard's is always a busy
place. Not only do the debutantes know
where to go for their flowers, but also
those requiring floral tributes for the
dead. Two casket covers the past week
helped to keep things humming.

Ed. Foster of Fourth st. is more than
pleased with this year's holiday returns.
He is always ready to accommodate a
brother florist, in need of stock.

Clnb, at the Holy Kosary Academy. It
was a big social afEair, with the leading
society people of Louisville taking the
leading parts. The show was in three
one act plays, the final being "The Flor-
ist's Shop." Although purely amateur,
tickets were %X plus war tax.

There is probably no better method of
getting in with the right people, and mak-
ing friends of the high grade buyers, than
to show them right in their own circle
what the florist can do. People who at-
tended the show, and who took part in it,
will never forget the "Florist's Shop," or
that Miss Walker arranged the setting,
and could do as well or better in arrang-
ing decorations, etc., for a private affair.

Commenting on the show, a local writer
says: "The Florist's Shop was the most
entertaining of the three acts. It opened
upon a beautiful setting, a veritable
flower shop, and the illusion was perfect.
But no wonder, it was the creation of
Miss Edith Walker, whose bouquets have
stimulated probably as many romances
as did the system of the beautiful young
clerk in 'The Florist's Shop.' Miss Isa-
bel Haldeman, more beautiful and trim
than the orchids, was charming. No won-
der Slovsky's was a popular shop."

New Billboard Law in Massa-
chusetts

The Boston Post of Jan. 1 prints the
following :

"Billboards and all other forms of out-
door advertising on trees, rocks, fences or
poles bordering on highways or within
300ft. of any park, parkway, playground,
State reservation or public building, are
expressly prohibited under regulations is-
sued yesterday by the Division of the
State Department of Public Works.

"The regulations, which have the full
force of law, became effective yesterday
and they place every billboard and out-
door advertising sign in the State within
the control of the Division of Highways,
which is made up of John N. Cole of
Andover, Frank D. Kemp of Springfield
and James W. Synan of Pittsfield.

"Billboards now located within the
Commonwealth in any way conflicting
with the regulations issued yesterday
must be removed on or before July 1,
1921.

"Persons or firms wishing to engage
in the business of billboard advertising
are required by the new regulations to
secure a license at the annual fee of $50.
No billboard or other outdoor advertising
sign may be erected, except under a per-
mit granted by the Division of Highways
and for each such annual permit the ap-
plicant must pay an examination fee of
Si when the application is filed, and an
inspection fee of $1 when the permit is
granted."— G. T.

Britain Bars Out Dyestuffs

In view of the fact that some dyes
have a vegetable base, it is interesting to
note that the British parliament has
passed: a bill which bars out all foreign
dyes for a period of ten years. Britain,
like America, was almost wholly depend-
ent upon German dyes before the war, and
to cope with the situation, enormous sums
of money were expended for the purpose
of dye making. To safeguard the indus-
try thus created, the bill above mentioned
has been put into force.

NINETEEN "PLENTY" ONE
for RETAIL FLORISTS

JLHE biggest financial minds of the country prophesy
a banner business for this year. Better advertising is
being planned to cover the country than was ever put
out before by those who expect to get the big end
of the year's business. There will be a larger flower
business in every city where the florists increase their
advertising, and better profits will be realized. You can
do it if you have the right kind of advertising matter,
up-to-date cuts, and advertising talks that have sales
creating ideas in them. That is exactly what the
Florists' Exchange Advertising Service gives you.

Edward Sceery Park Commissioner

The Putcrsun, N. J., Morning Call for
Dec. 20, boi'u ou its fi'out page, an excel-
lent portrait of Edward Sceery, the well
known florist of Patersoii and Passaic,
N. J., surmuunted by the caption in large
type, *"lU'turns Sceery to Park Board."

For 20 ye«rs or more, Mr. Sceery has
done great service in connection with the
parks of Paterson, twelve as president
of the Park Board, but last year the
mayor of the city, for some reason, made
a change. That the chief executive fully
recognized the value of Mr. Sceery's serv-
ices is demonstrated by his re-appoint-
ment for 1921, which has given general
satisfaction. Mr. Sceery is eminently a
practical grower and nurseryman and^ at
the same time, controls a high class retail
florists' trade. He is a staunch supporter
of the F. T. D. and a strong advocate for
advertising.

Burlington^ Vt.

Our Christmas business, at about the
same prices as last year, was about 17
per cent better. Business here in town is
rather dull, as most of the factories are
closed or partially so, but the people
seemed to have plenty of money for
Christmas. There was a big call for
baskets and plants, and a much increased
demand for house and cemetery wreaths.
Could have sold a great many more if
we had had them. We have never before
sold many cemetery wreaths at Christ-
mas time. We couldn't make them fast
enough. Those of Magnolia witli ever-
greens, ruscus and cones on the side sell
the best. In plants, everything sold. In
cut flowers, Chrysanthemums sold best.
We had beautiful Seidewitz and Golden
Mistletoe and Mrs. Godfrey from our own
houses and these sold better than other
things, though most of the F. T. D. orders
called for Roses. The F. T. D. business,
both outgoing and incoming was much
greater than ever before. Anyone wlio
doesn't get into the F. T. D. is certainly
losing a good thing.

Gove the Florist.

Salem, Mass.

B. Hammond Tracy, whose reputation
as a Gladiolus grower and hybridizer is
nationwide, opened a few months ago a
retail florist store in the driving city of
Salem. The location of the new store
is on Essex st., and in the most promi-
nent part of this main thoroughfare. Mrs.
Tracy is the active and guiding spirit in
this new undertaking. Her genuine love
for the work, her devotion to details, lier
pleasant address and wide circle of ac-
quaintances and friends, alone are a
sure guaranty of success. But she is
bringing to the venture something else,
something not so often found in the aver-
age florist store and this is, a genuine
love for and deepgoing understanding and
appreciation of the beautiful. Moreover,
thanks to her womanly intuition and the
possession of that rare womanly tact and
touch, she is able to transfer her concep-
tion of harmony in color and form to all
arrangements of flowers coming under her
supervision. Dainty and artistic, without
being artificial, would best describe her
work. One glance at the glass and crock-
ery ware, at the baskets, jardinieres, etc.,
in the store is enough to tell that here is
something different. Seldom, if ever, do
we meet such exquisite, distinctive and
attractive samples of English etched and
cut glassware, such wonderfully shaped
and tinted vases, bowls and other recep-
tacles. The very best of American, Eng-
lish, Italian, Czecho-Slovak and Japanese
art work is here represented, and to dem-
onstrate how to arrange the appropriate
floral productions to greatest advantage,
there is no better teacher than the man-
ager of the store. Business, so far, has
been most satisfactory.

Proof That Advertising Pays

Several months ago, (issue of Sept. 11)
we printed in this department a repro-
duction of a steamship display made by
the Houghton-Gomey Flower Shop of
Boston. Our readers will probacy re-
member it, and also that on the bottom
of the easel, below the painting of the
S. S. Aquitania of the Cunard Line, was
placed the sailing dates from Boston and
New York of the various passenger
steamers.

From a recent letter received from our
Boston staff representative, we learn that
a passenger and an officer passing through

the Houghton-Gorney store took a copy
of The Exchange with them after they
had seen the reproduced display therein^
and now the same illustration appears re-
produced in the Cunard Magazine of a
recent issue.

This is a proof that advertising almost
invariably pays. The Houghton-Gomey
shop received a free writeup in the Cu-
nard Magazine, and the fact that this
notable publication in the travelers* inter-
est found this advertising matter worthy
of notice in its columns should prove a
good thing for the F. T. D., if this latter
association chooses to follow it up.

Atlanta, Ga.

Ghristnias Day Pire Destroys Store
of Atlanta Florist

On Christmas Day at about 10 o'clock,
while clerks were busy getting out Christ-
mas orders, fire was discovered in the
basement of the Dahl Floral Co..

The fire is supposed to have originated
through a fuse box burning out and ig-
niting quantities of supplies which were
stored in the basement. The fire gained
such rapid headway that some of the
employees on the third floor were forced
to leave by way of the rear windows to
the roof of an adjoining building. The
entire building was destroyed and the loss
will run into the thousands.

The Dahl Co. has arranged to occupy
half of a store at 72 N. Broad St., not
far from their old location, and it is nn-
derstood that after April it will be occu-
pied entirely by them.

This is the second Atlanta florist to
suffer fire loss in the past two weeks. On
December 15 Ralph Dean discovered a
fire among his Christmas suplies on the
second floor of his store at the corner of
Broad and Marietta sts., and he hero-
ically tried to extinguish the flames with
his overcoat, burning both hands in the
endeavor.

All of the Atlanta florists report a good
holiday trade with stock plentiful and of
a good quality. Some of them report a
decided increase over the Christmas of
1919 ; this was not expected, owing to
the slump in cotton and the subsequent
money shortage. There was a noticeable
decrease in corsage work and when a
reason was sought it was suggested that
the style of dress of today did not per-
mit the wearing of a corsage. — B. W. S.

"The Progressive Farmer," a much read agricul-
tural paper published at Birmingham. Ala., favors
ufl with a useful tear-off calender for the coming
year. The above journal circulates throughout
the South, having a circulation of some 200,000
weekly.

F. T. D. orders were very heavy. This
applied to both to in-coming and out-go-
ing. They were mostly for large amounts,
so that this year the profits were more
in keeping with the size of the business.
It is believed that the F. T. D. business
is only getting a start in Toronto. There
is one new member, S. A. Frost, so that
more are realizing the benefits of tue

j General Notes

Charles R. Tuson of Windsor, is one
of the candidates for Mayor of Wind-
sor. He served in this position for a
year, some time ago.

George Yavner, Arcade Florist, is ill
in the General Hospital with inflammatory
rhemnatism.

The regular meeting of the Toronto-
Retail Florists Club will be held on Jan.
10, when S. A. Frost will read a paper
on Store Management.

The regular meeting of the Gardeners
and Florists Association will be held
on Jan. 17. It will be an open meet-
ing and Alexander Simpson will deliver
an address giving a full explanation of
the aims and objects of the Botanical
Garden scheme, and will outline what
the present proposals are, regarding site
and maintenance.

Our correspondent sends us several
price lists as issued by the retail florists
at Christmas. Each emphasizes the use
of the F. T. D. service. It may be added
that residents of Toronto did not ap-
parently obtain their flowers and plants
for the mere asking. The dollar did not
go far for those who wanted to say it
with flowers. G. C. K.

Christmas Trade

All the Toronto florists are speaking of
the volume of the Christmas trade. It is
quite evident that the people appreciated
the return of the Azalea, for by Friday
practically none were available in Toronto.
In fact, they were removed from the
stores to fill orders received earlier in
the week. All the stores reported that
they were completely depleted of flower-
ing plants. It was quite eWdent too, that
had there been brighter weather in Decem-
ber and a more abundant supply of cut
stock, it could have been sold without
difficulty.

George M. Geraghty of Dunlops has
been confined to his apartments since
Christmas, being very ill. He is chair-
man of the publicity committee and many
of the members of the Retail Florists
Club attribute part of the successful
Christmas trade to the excellent adver-
tising done in large space in the papers
during the week previous to Christmas.
Coupled with this, was the removal of
the Luxury Tax by the Federal Govern-

ment. This greatly stimulated trade gen-
erally, which previously was almost dead
in other than floral stores, where the tax
did not apply. However, the last two
days, Thursday and Friday, the people
filled the stores with the result that all
the florists could hang up a notice, "Sold
Out."

Since Christmas, stores have been busy
but there has been a great shortage of
stock. The growers cut as close as pos-
sible to try and fill the orders showered
in upon them Christmas week with the re-
sult that there is now a shortage.

The men in the military hospitals were
remembered. One greenhouse at Bramp-
ton sent 600 Roses so that each man in
the Orthopedic Hospital might have a
fiower. Wreaths, sprays, plants and cut
flowers were ordered for delivery to the
hospitals by friends, with the result that
the floral trucks made many trips to
these institutions loaded with flowers.

Memorial wreaths sold in abundance.
Stores which made a regular feature of
these wreaths stocked heavily and others
also put in stocks which they sold on a
scale than ever.

Montreal, Que.

The week following Christmas proved
good for the florists. Weddings and
funeral work have used up all suitable
flowers. Our French florists who cater
for the East end trade were rather
gloomy at prospects of the New Year'a
trade the first part of the week. Stock
being so scarce and prices high, they were
afraid their patrons would buy slow, but
toward the end of the week things had
improved so that these florists were pre-
pared to buy almost anything in cut
flowers the wholesalers had to ofEer.
Among the East end florists who were
well satisfied with the trade done were
Ed. Gernaey, Cbas. de Lorimer, L, H.

Asselman is not a new hand, having had
a lifelong experience. His father, B.
Asselman, the Belgian florist, has been
many years a grower here. The new store
is well situated and should meet with
success.

The Market

Reports on Christmas show that
the business this year was much better
than ever before, the only thing that
handicapped growers and retailers was a
shortage of stock. Almost continual snow
four days before Christmas held the cut
down, and it was not as large as it
should have been, nevertheless it was
about the same as last year.

Wholesale prices were, in nearly all
cases, the same as last year. Roses
ranged from $10 to $45 per 100. The
supply of long and special was equal to
the demand, but many more shorts and
mediums could have been sold.

Carnations were in fair supply at $6
to $20 per 100 ; Sweet Peas were scarce
at $2 to $3 per 100. Paperwhites and
Violets were in good supply, and cleaned
up well.

Pot plants of excellent quality were in
large supply, but everything was sold ;
had more been available, they would have
been cleared, as many retailers were
forced to close their doors as early as
8 p.m. Christmas Eve on account of being
sold out. G. J. B.

Kalamazoo, Mich.

Further inquiries emphasize the satis-
factory nature of the holiday trade. Every
one I have talked to expresses his pleas-
ure regarding the business done. Some
there were who did not expect a rushing
trade and, of course, these were doubly
pleased. Those of us who have had long
experience in the business, know that no
matter how hard times are, or how
thriftily people are spending, there always
has been enough of those who buy flow-
ers to keep the trade from going broke
and if the flower business is still a going
concern in Europe with its financial diffi-
culties, and Russia still able to maintain
a few florists, there should be no reason
for the American florist to fear the fu-
ture.

It is true our methods of distribution
are out of date and costlv bevond reason,
for when it is conceded that it costs 70c.
to sell 30c. worth of flowers, it must be
admitted that either grower or consumer
IS not getting a fair deal and, sooner or
later, adjustments will have to be made
to equalize the matter more satisfactorily.
However, some day a genius will arise
who will solve this and maybe not so far
m the future either. The week's busi-
ness has been carried along nicely by the
holiday entertainments, a number of small
social affairs and the big annual New
Year's Ball, which always call for good
orders, so that the Christmas prices are
well maintained and likely to stay so
for the next week. There were plenty of
good flowers available all through the
holidays, and the present supply will be
maintained for some time, as the weather
conditions are improving and the days
getting longer, although sometimes rather
cold. We touched zero weather this week
for the first time this Winter but, on the
whole, the weather has caused but little
trouble for the shipper, up to now. — S. B.

Cleveland, 0.

The Market

The demand is sufficiently strong
to absorb everything reaching this market
except Paperwhites and Easter Lilies, the
former being in heavy supply and the
latter in slight excess. Receipts of Roses
and Carnations are normal and the cus-
tomary holiday values are prevailing.
The arrival of Daffodils, Freesias and
Pussy Willow lends a Spring-like touch
to the stock in the wholesale houses.
When the locally growTi Sweet Peas come
in, which will be very shortly, a nice as-
sortment of flowers will be available to
the purchaser.

Except a noticeable increase in the call
for corsage flowers, the New Year's busi-
ness was without sen.sation. Popular items
in the iirice list cleaned up as usual, but
the buying lacked the briskness suggestive
of a keen demand upon the part of the
fiower-loving public. Reports indicate that
the totals for the corresponding period
of last year were not quite approximated.

Clnb Meeting

The first meeting of the new year
was held in the rooms of the Hollenden
Monday, Jan. 3, 1921, with Ex-Pres. Carl
Hagenberger in the chair. Six new
members were added to the roster of the
club by Jas. A. McLaughlin, namely:

Harold Clapp, Wm. Lisy, William Heffer-
m, E. C. Keiisch, Otto Walter and A. J.
Kayville, all of whom were elected under
suspended rules. Mr. Knoble and Chair-
man Hagenberger discussed the progress
of the Ohio division of the Ajnerican
ilower Growers Association. Pres. W. E.
Cook telephoned liis inability to be pres-
ent, and because of the illness of his wife,
First Vice-President Robert Bryden could
not attend. A letter from the Tariff Com-
mission was read and turned over to the
executive committee for consideration.

Mrs. Ella Grant Wilson gave a detailed
report of the extent of her publicity
work throughout the past year. The
work accomplished was enormous and the
benefits reaped were well worth the
expense incurred.

Letters were read from Mayor Fitz-
gerald and Chief of Police fcsmith in
acknowledgment of the resolution of sup-
port of the administration s campaign to
clean up the city at the last meeting.

A resolution was passed for making
application for representation of the cluD
on the directorate under affiliation of the
E3. A. F., the necessary qualification of
100 members having been attained.

A lengthy and interesting discussion
upon the various conditions confronting
growers of flowers was indulged in by
tne numerous greenhouse men present.
This discussion developed many subjects
of vital importance.

Carl Hagenberger showed a specimen
plant of Cyclamen bearing 50 blooms,
which was favorably commented upon.

The treasurer's report showed the finan-
ces of the club to he in a healthy condi-
tion.

Itexus of Interest

A little daughter has arrived at the
home of A. S. Dehner, the hustling Wood-
land ave. florist.

Utto Walter, the Clark ave. retailer,
was an eye witness to a payroll robbery
that caused the death of two prominent
business men on Dec. 30. Nearby his
store, bandits held up the two men re-
turning from the bank with a $4200 pay-
roll, killing them outright and escaping
with the booty. Mr. Walter, who was
himself threatened by the robbers, hur-
ried the victims to the hospital in his
machine.

J?' rank Eitzenthaler, who has had poor
health of late, departed for Asheville,

The Market

The week following Christmas
showed a great change in the weather
and the day before New Year's the ther-
mometer registered over 50 degs. The
bright weather increased the supply in
Violets ; Sweet Peas, on the other hand,
were not over plentiful. The supply in
Roses increased- and demand showed it-
self for Ophelias, Russells, Milady, while
Columbias went lagging and were left
over. One street bargain counter was
selling long stem Roses at 10c. each, ?1
per doz., which caused considerable com-
ment. Columbias, despite their long
keeping qualities, lost color and many a
retailer was called a robber when he de-
manded $3 and $4 per doz. for them. Car-
nations were scarce and 12c. to 15c. was
the price asked for them ; many retailers
did without them, however, and pushed
Roses in their stead. Narcissi took a
tumble and bargain counters retailed
same at 50c. per doz., which meant a clear
loss to the grower. Now that the grow-
ers have organized, let them get together
and declare some means of getting rid of
surplus stock without ruining the busi-
ness. Greens sold well. Indications show
that Violets will fall considerably in price
if bright weather continues.

News Notes

A meeting of the Publicity Com-
mittee took place at headquarters last

week and New Year's advertising in
the newspapers was decided upon.

The next event in florist circles will be
the St. Louis Florist Club Tacky Party,
to be held Friday evening, Jan. 14, at
Westminster Hall. All arrangements
are in the hands of the trustees of the
club.

The opening of the Liberty Central
Trust Co. was the occasion for a large
supply in baskets and bunches of cut
flowers for Monday, Jan, 3. The decora-
tions were beautiful and over 10,000
Roses were given away.

Portland, Ore.

Trade Notes

Dec. 30, 1920.— Another Christmas
rush has been added to the annals of
the flower business and it can be added
that it was larger than ever. £lach year
it seems to become more of a rush as the
number of flower buyers increase. This
year saw earlier purchasers than ever
before, and it can be seen that some chose
flowers as their gifts and not as a last re-
sort. As usual, from $3 to $5 were the
bulk of the sales, and although there was
considerable call for basket arrangements
which sold away up in two figures, the
small sales were the ones that made the
total. Many shops cleaned up fairly
early, while some had stock to sell later
in the week. This was due, not to doing
less business, but rather to the extra large
supply on hand. Shops that had some
leftovers were none the worse off as the
after Christmas trade has been brisk,
Poinsettias headed the list in potted stock
with the Cyclamen giving them a run for
first place. Owing to tfie early buying,
many more baskets were sold than ever
before. In fact, small basket arrange-
ments sold a great deal better than the
old style conventional pan with the mat
covering. Mats were conspicuous by their
absence. Heathers, the one plant that if
watered faithfully, makes the most satis-
factory holiday plant, sold up clean at
fancy prices. The Begonia still has its
admirers, but there is not a run on them
as in former years. There were excellent
Azaleas to be seen in some shops, but the
most of the stock was of poor quality and
considering this, excellent prices were re-
ceived. Fern dishes and madeup three-
quarter pots of Cherries and ferns sold
like hot cakes.

Ferns and palms also were as usual
cleaned up and, from the looks of things,
ferns for dishes will be a hard thing to
locate as they were all used up.

The cut flower market was fairly well
supplied and the stock was of fair quality.
Everything in cut flowers was sold that
could be handled, but with the usual late
rush on the 24th, some of the stock could
not be offered until too late for most
customers. The usual anxiety about be-
ing oversold holds back the sale on some
stock. Poinsettias, when cut as they were
this year, held up splendidly and sold
well. Prices of cut flowers were about
the same as those of a year ago. Quan-
tities of Narcissus were sold as this was
about the only flower that did not ad-
vance much for the holidays. As usual,
there was an all night seige for the store
forces, filling cut flower orders, making
up basket arrangements and corsage
work. The weather favored the delivery
systems and most deliveries were made in
good time.

The general concensus of opinion is
that the trade has nothing to kick about
in the windup of Christmas business in
face of the socalled depression so many
are experiencing.

Clarke Bros, as usual sold up on their
Orange baskets and report a heavy de-
mand for all kinds of basket arrange-
ments. This firm had some very fine
Azaleas that were sold at excellent prices.

The pink Poinsettia, which looks so
out of place, and for which there is a
limited sale, has the best of it on one
point. It keeps much better both on the
plant and as a cut flower. The stems
seem much harder and it does not kink.
The hybridizers would do well to get after
this and give us an improvement on the
red one we have.

Martin & Forbes were swept clean by
the Christmas tide ; Sunday morning saw
them bare. This firm handled probably
the largest block of Roses ever disposed
of by one firm, namely 7000 of a quality
that was unsurpassed.

Smith's Flower Shop reports business
larger than ever. This firm had some
excellent Christmas windows.

Tonseths report a record business ; both
Lubliner shops made cleanups, while Nik-

las & Son had probably the largest and
average best stock that this firm has ever
had to offer. There was an increase in
their Christmas trade as usual.

Chappel's Flower Shop reports heavy
cut flower sales. H. N.

Seattlci Wash.

The Christmas Supply

The market this year was abund-
antly supplied with all kinds of good
stock, but there was a shortage of what
one might term choice stock.

'Mums were plentiful, especially Maud
Dean, Bonnaffon and Chadwick. The
wholesale price ranged from $3 to $5 per
doz., which was stiff, considering quality.

The Rose stock was not as complete as
it should have been. BusseU pre-
dominated. Ophelia came next, with
Hadley, Hoosier Beauty and Ward fol-
lowing. Russells were really the only
good Roses shipped in, coming from San
Francisco. Some Ophelia also were
shipped, but by the time they reached this
market, they were pretty well bleached
out. The local Roses were very good
in color and quality, but, as usual, short
in supply. There were fewer red Roses
on display in the stores than ever be-
fore. The Carnation supply was not
equal to the demand ; the general price
was $8 per 100, while the retail quota-
tions were $2.50 and $3 per doz. Quite
a contrast to last season's prices.

Cut Poinsettias were not so much in
evidence as usual, for the simple reason
that the trade is taking more to the plants
which always give so much better satis-
faction.

The call for corsage stock was exceed-
ingly heavy, especially on Violets, which
supply, by the way, always seems to be
unlimited, coming from California. Or-
chids, Valley, Gardenias, Cecils, Sweet
Peas and Freesia completed this class of
stock.

Among bulbous flowers, white and yel-
low Narcissus in the cut and Tulipsand
Hyacinths in pots were the offerings.
Holly and Mistletoe sales were brisk up
to the last minute, the demand heavier
and supply lighter than usual.

Cyclamen plants were much in evidence
everywhere this year, larger and choicer
plants were never seen than were
offered this season.

The Poinsettia (red) reigned supreme
and some elaborate plants and baskets
were on display in the various shop win-
dows. The pink and white varieties were
poor seconds, although some specimen
plants were on sale.

The Begonias, taking in the numerous
Lorraine types, seem to be deteriorating
and, unless a new or improved variety
makes its appearance shortly, it will be
a thing of the past on this market.

Some well fruited Orange plants were
offered the trade, but, for some reason,
they did not take as well as was expected.

Primula obconica was good and it was
the best seller in the popular priced class.
The sale of Artificial baskets was not as
heavy as in former years, giving way to
the artificial tree in the miniature formal
shapes.

All in all, the supply was good in
quality and quantity. While the Christ-
mas sales were heavy, the stock as a
rule was sold at a closer margin than
has been the case the past few years ; the
result was that this year's business was
not so profitable for many.

Some florists report business as bein^
better than last year, while others say it
was just as good. The majority, however,
were farsighted enough to know what
quantities to buy, anticipating a lighter
demand than in former years, and there is
no question about them using good judg-
ment. Very few of the stores had much
stock on hand after the rush was over.
O. O.

Applying Chloroform

One comforting feature in the business
situation — you don't hear the patient
scream. Modern methods have done for
financial operations what the discovry of
chloroform did for surgical operations.

In the old days, when a man could not
pay his creditors, they put him through
bankruptcy. His business stopped, em-
ployees were all discharged, there was a
smash. Now the gentleman who can't pay
is "reorganized." They push him out and
the creditors go in, all silently and quietly.

It is simply changing chauffeurs and the
machine goes along.

The impression that New Year makes
on the cut flower market of Lancaster
can truthfully be compared to the
impression that a drop of water would
make in the Atlantic Ocean ; even the balls
and dinners of New Year's Eve are most-
ly colorless affairs as far as flowers are
concerned. This, however, does not mean
that the business died with the passing
of Christmas, for the regular consumption
of flowers in this city uses up an equally
regular supply and, while there are some
dull days in the business, there are few
really dull weeks.

Lancaster is also more fortunate than
many cities in its readjustment of busi-
ness conditions, for while there are some
idle men here, they are few in comparison
to most places, and the buying power of
the city has not been heavily reduced.

H. A. Beyler of Reading made a trip
among the growers the past week, and
Dennis Connor used the telephone to
wish us a Happy New Year.

The New Year comes in with Spring
weather, the thermometer ranging be-
tween 40 and 50 degs. 24 hours at a
stretch ; I am looking out from my office
window over a lawn that is as green and
Spring-like as any day in April, wonder-
ing just when the weather is going to pay
its debts, for there is an old saying
around here, "the weather never leaves
any debts."

It may be a bit late, but I hope that
the New Year will be generous with good
gifts to all readers of these notes, and
not forget those who pass them over for
what is good for one is good for all; we
want to keep our business on the up-
ward trend year after year.

Cliristmas and New fear

The year 1920 is a thing of the
past, and while it had its ups and downs,
figures will show that it has been the
most prosperous year in the history of
the business, due to increased demand
and better prices. Production was in-
creased, not so much through new glass,
but in growers getting more and better
results out of what they have.

Advertising has helped a lot and, in
the coming year, we should all get to-
gether and support the national adver-
tising campaign to the limit; the home
city campaigns, also, for oni in this way
can we hope to equal or improve on last
year's figures.

New Tear's Day as a cut flower day,
does not amount to much in this mar-
ket, and as usual, it slipped away with-
out any undue excitement in the trade.
Stock was plentiful, especially in the
fancy Roses and Paperwhlte Narcissus,
with a short supply of short smd medium
Roses and Carnations. American Beauty
was in over supply, as there were many
that did not make it for Christmas, that
were on the market for New Year's. The
supply of Lilies is on the increase, and
they are realizing good prices. Violets
were in over supply and, for some rea-
son or other, this once popular flower is
losing its popularity. The supply of or-
chids and Valley was equal to all de-
mands. Sweet Peas are on the increase
and should be at their best from now until
after Easter.

The retail stores all report a very
satisfactory Christmas : in fact much bet-
ter than some of them erpected. Regard-
less of whether they were large or small,
they all fared alike and got their share.
In volume it equaled and, in some cases,
ran ahead of last year, and when you
take into consideration the condition of
business in general, the florist has noth-
ing to complain of.

Among the Fraternity

Randolph & McCIements had
charge of several large decorations for
receptions and dances during the week
from Christmas to New Tears.

Ross Adgate, Chas. Edgar, Henry
Blend and R. E. Gay, all salesmen for
the McCallum Co., spent last week at
headquarters, getting their new samples
ready for a new selling campaign. James
Riley of the Detroit branch, was also a
visitor to the Pittsburgh headquarters.

The impression that
. the cut flower markr:

Ev?> J-TX*

J.

can trutntully be comp.

impression that a drop of

make in the Atlantic Ocean ; e

and dinners of New Year's Evi

ly colorless affairs as far as flJ

concerned. This, however, does l,

that the business died with the New York

of Christmas, for the regular consu.

of flowers in this city uses up an eq

regular supply and, while there are
dull days in the business, there are
really dull weeks.

Lancaster is also more fortunate thi'
many cities in its readjustment of busi
ness conditions, for while there are some
idle men here, they are few in comparison "
to most places, and the buying power of
the city has not been heavily reduced.

H. A. Beyler of Reading made a trip
among the growers the past week, and
Dennis Connor used the telephone to
wish us a Happy New Tear.

The New Year comes in with Spring
weather, the thermometer ranging be-
tween 40 and 50 degs. 24 hours at a
stretch ; I am looking out from my office
window over a lawn that is as green and
Spring-like as any day in April, wonder-
ing just when the weather is going to pay
its debts, for there is an old saying
around here, "the weather never leaves
any debts."

It may be a bit late, but I hope that
the New Year will be generous with good
gifts to all readers of these notes, and
not forget those who pass them over for
what is good for one is good for all ; we
want to keep our business on the up-
ward trend year after year.

Christmas and Nenr Year

The year 1920 is a thing of the '
past, and while it had its ups and downs,
figures will show that it has been the
most prosperous year in the history of
the business, due to increased demand
and better prices. Production was in-
creased, not so much through new glass, \
but in growers getting more and better
results out of what they have.

Advertising has helped a lot and, in
the coming year, we should all get to-
gether and support the national adver-
tising campaign to the limit ; the home
city campaigns, also, for oni in this way
can we hope to equal or improve on last
year's figures.

New Year's Day as a cut flower day,
does not amount to much in this mar-
ket, and as usual, it slipped away with-
out any undue excitement in the trade.
Stock was plentiful, especially in the
fancy Roses and Paperwhite Narcissus,
with a short supply of short and medium
Roses and Carnations. American Beauty
was in over supply, as there were many
that did not make it for Christmas, that
were on the market for New Year's. The
supply of Lilies is on the increase, and
they are realizing good prices. Violets
were in over supply and, for some rea-
son or other, this once popular flower is
losing its pcipularity. The supply of or-
chids and Valley was equal to all de-
mands. Sweet Peas are on the increase
and should be at their best from now until
after Easter.

The retail stores all report a very
satisfactory Christmas: in fact much bet-
ter than some of them expected. Regard-
less of whether they were large or small,
they all fared alike and got their share.
In volume it equaled and. in some cases,
ran ahead of last year, and when you
take into consideration the condition of
business in general, the florist has noth-
ing to complain of.

Among the rraternity

Randolph & McClements had
charge of several large decorations for
receptions and dances during the week
from Christmas to New Years.

Ross Adgate, Chas. Edgar, Henry
Blend and R. E. Gay, all salesmen for
the McCallum Co., spent last week at
headquarters, getting their new samples
ready for a new selling campaign. James
Riley of the Detroit branch, was also a
visitor to the Pittsburgh headquarters.

The Market

Jan. 4. — A noticeable cliange has
come over the market within the last few
days. It cannot be said that any great
amount of stock is arriving, therefore a
pretty good cleanup occurs every day,
but since New Year's, the demand for all
kinds of flowers has fallen off, so that
prices had to give way on all lines. New
Year's Day is never much of an occasion
in Boston, but this year it was better
than usual and the retail stores call it a
very good day. Yesterday and today have
been dull for the salesmen. The weather
was fine as could be, most Springlike,
but vim has left the buyers. This week
will see the inauguration of the new gov-
ernor, which occasion promises, accord-
ing to present rumors, to be an outstand-
ing event, and will call for a good many
flowers. This, with the remembrance of
the excellent Christmas just experienced,
will keep everybody in the present com-
placent mood.

There are practically no Am. Beauty
Roses in the wholesale market. The prices
quoted are those the retailer is paying
when he has them shipped from a dis-
tance by the grower. The last few days
the demand for long stemmed Roses of
other kinds has fallen off very much.
Nine, twelve, or fifteen inch stock is sell-
ing quite readily ; above these lengths
there is trouble. -Roses in general are of
high quality.

The supply of Carnations is not what
might be called large, it is kept in cheek
by the fact that many growers are ship-
ping their flowers to New York, claiming
that the price obtainable is an inducement
to do this. This is i-ather fortunate for
the market here, for the least oversupply
would raise the dickens with prices. As
it is, these have come down to 8c. for
good flowers of the popular sorts. Ward, ,
Benora and Rosalia bring from 10c. to {
12e. and Laddie, loc. With the advent j
of increasing sunlight and production, I
the outlook for keeping Carnation prices
up is not any too bright unless a better I
demand develops. So far this season
credit must be given to the Carnation
men. Hardly any complaints about pickled
goods have been received, and the general
run of stock is satisfactory, if not better.
The reason for this is plainly seen when
visiting the greenhouses. These are kept
much cleaner than formerly, less crowd-
ing of plants is noticeable and only the
recognized best standard kinds are grown.
In the matter of shipping and packing
for market there is lots of room for im-
provement, however.

Callas are arriving in increased quan-
tities. The Godfrey has largely sup-
planted the old kind. The demand has
steadily improved and is now becoming
normal. The price has gone up to Si
per doz. White Lilies are hard to sell
at 16c. ; there are too many present. Pa-
perwhites have had a bad time of it. Just
now they have lost what little advance
they made during Christmas week ; 3c.
and 4c. is all they will bring. The flowers
are good, but the supply is evidently too
great. A few Freesias are observed in
some retailers' windows; none have come

to the market yet. Presently, there will
be plenty and then some.

Sweet Peas of fine appearance are now
offered, the supply is not great, neither
is the demand and the price has gone down
to 3c. Pansies, too, and Violets have lost
a cent. Mignonette and Calendulas are
very good. The former might sell more
freely ; the latter sells well at 3c. to 6c
Daisies are not over plentiful at 2c. and
3e. Few Forgetmenots are seen. Cattle-
ya Percivaliana is about gone and C,
Trianse is late in coming, so there is no
surplus of orchids. The latter bring $18
per doz. Lily of the Valley is plenti-
ful, selling freely at $8 to §10 per 100.
Plumosus and Sprengeri Asparagus sells
as well as ever at the same old price.

Spear & McManus, the florists, re-
cently moved into their new store at 242
Asylum st. Their old store at this num-
ber was razed and a new building put
up, which has just been completed. "While
the building was being erected, the firm
had temporary quarters around the
corner of Ann st. The new store was
especially designed for the florists' busi-
ness and a new icebox for cut Roses was
built. A large greenhouse is reached from
the mezzanine floor and varieties of potted
plants are kept there. Coming at a time
when Christmas baskets and holiday
decorations were being displayed, the store
was made to look especially attractive
for the opening.

Horticultural Society Meets

The regular meeting of the above
society was held on the 3d inst., President
Charles Philpot in the chair. Only a few
members were present. There was some
criticism of the topics selected for the
lectures last year, one in particular being
on '^Keeping Hens," or "Letting Hens
Keep You." It would appear as if some
— particularly the florists — are more in-
terested in Roses at one dollar per bloom,
or in Carnations at $5 per doz., than in

Business for New Year was rather
slow, and this week is oi)ening up quietly.
The supply of flowers is not overlarge.
The medium supply of Roses is mostly
running to the longer grades. The sup-
ply of shorts and mediums is insufficient
for the demand. The general scale of
Roses is from 10c to 50c, the latter figure
on top Russell and Hadley. American
Beauty clean up at $9 per doz. The supply
of Carnations is somewhat reduced and
opening up this week with a price scale
of from 6c to 10c; a few fancy Wards
at 12c and Laddie at 15c. Orchids are in
free supply at list figures. Paperwhite
Narcissus are going begging, quite a con-
trast from a year ago when they were
bringing 10c. The Gardenia supply is
ample for present requirements. Sweet
Peas are increasing, thanks to many
bright and sunny days. The first of the
Trumpet Major Daffodils are selling at
$10 per 100. The few Callas readily make
$3 to $4 per doz. The supply of Stevia
is growing less. There is a stronger sup-
ply of Easter Lilies without any price
changes. Violets are a trifle more free.
Pansies, Mignonette, Calendulas and white
Lilac are all available.

Notes from Aroand

M. J. Callahan suffered consider-
able damage to his store and dwelling by
fire on Jan. 2. The fire occurred early
Monday morning while the family was
asleep and was discovered by Mrs. CaHa-
han, who was awakened by the smoke.
The dwelling apartments are over the
store, which is one of the finest flower
shops in West Philadelphia. The fire
spread so rapidly that the family barely
got out in time. It was confined to
the apartment which was gutted. The
damage to the store is mostly in the
way of broken glass and by water. The
conservatory in the rear suffered slight
damages. The fire is believed to have
started by crossed electric wires.

Tulips at Bronx Park

The display of late Tulips next Spring
promises to be an even finer one than
that of last year, when John Schecpers,
Inc., presented a large collection. The
plantings for this season are due to the
generosity of the Holland Bulb Growers
Association. Of Darwins, there are 122
varieties, each represented by 100 bulbs,
while 66 varieties of breeders are repre-
sented. With close upon 20,000 bulbs
flowering at one time, Bronx Park should
be worth visiting in April or May.

Tlie Market

Jan. 4. — The week following Christinas
was remarkably quiet. There was a slight
increase in stock with no more than
normal demand; the shipping trade being
far more active than local buying. Prices
also came down to a point hardly justi-
fiable for the week following Christmas.
There were bargains in Roses, Violets
and Carnations offered; oO per cent less
than the week previous. Still, there was
considerable business done, and the prices
while lower, left a fair margin of profit to
the growers.

The New Year's demand while on the
whole satisfactory, showed nothing out of
the ordinary in flower buying. With
some of the houses, it was not
as good as one year ago. There is
no one who reports an improvement or
increase; the best that can be said, is
that the demand was about the same as
in former years. The elimination of the
hilarious celebrations incidental to New
Year's eve brought about by the early
closing of the cabarets, and prohibition
ia given by some as a cause for the fall-
ing off of the New Year's demand. With
less celebration, there was naturally a
decline in the demand for fiowers for
corsage work and decorations. Violets, for-
merly so much in demand for New Year's,
were in such large supply that whole-
salers were offering them to retailers at
bargain prices. Retailers were advertis-
ing flowers for New Year's at pre-war
prices. Cattleyas were offered in the ad-
vertisements of leading retailers $2 and
$2.50 each, considerably less than the
wholesale price of a few days previous.

The market for the present week opened
well, there was a noticeable increase in
demand ; the weather was Spring-like,
which brought shoppers out in large num-
bers, and that helped in a great way to
increase trade in all lines. It also aided
to a great extent to make stock more
plentiful. There is no fear of depression,
and all pessimists have passed out with
the old year. The grower, wholesaler, re-
tailer, and the supply men are starting
the New Year with a spirit of jubilation
seldom if ever before exemplified.

The supply of Roses is greater than
any other commodity offered; they are
the mainstay of the market. All stock
is moving at prices varying from $6 to
$35 '^er 100. Carnations -^ T-e increasing
in supply; all orders are filled and prices
are down to from $4 to $8 per 100 with
$20 for Laddie. Paperwhite Narcissus
is in large supply and prices are down
to about 50 per cent less than before
Christmas. Price ranges from 8-4 to $6
per 100^ bulb men say there is money
in growmg them at four cents.

The market has been heavily supplied
during the past week with California
grown Violets. There were more than
could be handled at a profit. Some were
sold as low as §1 for 300. The stock is
not desirable, as it has to spend the best
part of its existence in the shipping boxes
en route from the Coast.

There are plenty of Lilies at from $13
to $20 per 100 and there are enough of
Orchids. Good Cattleyas can be had at
from $12 to $18 per doz., Csrpripediums at
from $4 to $6 per doz. Sweet Peas are
becoming more plentiful at $2 to $4 per
100. Stevia is in good supply at $2 to
$3 per 100. There is more Valley than
there has been during the past few
months and prices are slightly reduced
from former quotations. Current prices
are from $8 to $10 per 100. White Roman
Hyacinths are at $6 to $8. The first
Freesias of the season have come in.
Calendulas are to be had in limited quan-
tities. There are odd lots of Ericas from
California; Pansies, Mignonette, Daisies
and Jonquils complete the offerings of
the market for the present week. In all
lines of greens there is an abundance, in-
cluding a supply of the large Woodwardia
fronds from California. Pussy Willows
are plentiful.

General Nevs

Paul E. Weiss has been appointed
j vice-president for Northern Illinois of the
S. A. F. President Roland made no mis-
take in the selection. Mr. Weiss will
make an excellent V. P.

Daniel Branch, an oldtime florist on
the South Side, died Sunday. He had
been identified with the trade of the city
for the past 30 years.

The annual celebration of traveling
salesmen connected with the florists and
allied trades of Chicago was held New
Year's eve at the home of Allan Humason.
There were games and refreshments
galore, the salesmen enjoying themselves
together with their wives and friends until
early dawn New Year's morning. Among
those present were Allan Humason, Edw.
Goldenstein, Geo. Mohn, T. E. Waters,
E. C. Prunpr, Ed. OUinger, Sam Read,
and many other friends of the travelers.

News have come to the supply men that
the milliners will this season specialize
on zephyr straw hats. These are to be
manufactured from Mediterranean wheat
straw same as the well known wheat
sheaves of the supply trade are. As there
is but a limited supply of this in the
country it is presumed its use in the mil-
linery business will soon use the supply up
immediately. This is usually imported
from Italy and takes considerable time
to get it across. This is a hint to those
who may be runing low on sheaves that
the present is a good time to stock np.
The increased demand means also an in-
crease in price.

There was an oyster feast at
Zech & Mann's store a few days the
past week. Allie Zech received from
Harry Papworth, New Orleans, a barrel
of the finest bivalves that ever came from
the Golf of Mexico as a Christmas pres-
ent. Mr. Zech was generous in the dis-
tribution of them to his friends and
visitors at his place of business.

The Allied Florists' Association had an
attractive ad in all the Chicago papers
on Thursday, suggesting fiowers as a
New Year's greeting, laying particular
stress on a dainty corsage bouquet for
personal adornment, or an abundant
bouquet for table decoration. Hilmer V.
Swenson Co., who get up these ads for
the association, is to be complimented on
its work.

Paulus Bros, are among the fiorists who
do not believe the use of artificial flowers
hurts the Christmas trade. These are to
be had in so many bright colors that they
will sell for weeks before to brighten up
stores and homes for Christmas. They
^ive an effect no natural stock could
furnish even at much more expense, and
the actual sales of cut flowers immediate-
ly before the holidays is in no way inter-
fered with by the previous sales of arti-
ficial stock. It is as much a part of the
business to sell same, as it is for fiorists
to sell goldfish and other lines not direct-
ly connected with the florist trade, is this
firm's view.

The Alpha Floral Co. reports a larger
Christmas and New Year's trade than
ever before. Andrew Chronis states the
F. T. D. business was unusually good.

could do to wait on the numerous cus-

be very good, showing an increase over

What Does It Cost You?
That's The Point

What does it cost you when
you have to tracsplant outside
when it's a bit too dry? What
does it cost you to hand water to
overcome it? What does it coat
your plants to get a poor start?
What does it cost you when you
get only half a crop? What does
It cost you to water in your green-
house?

What would you make and save
if all these costs were turned into

profit? How would you like to
have all that profit and more be-
sides, without its costing you a
cent to get it?

That is exactly what the Skin-
ner System of watering will do.
It more than pays for itself the
first year, and costs you nothing
the rest of the years.

Sold in complete lines, either
portable or for fixed use. Send

price per package, 50c. Catalogue will be sent

Mr. W. L. Ferguson, Smiths Falls, Ontario, un-
der date of Dec. 2d, 1919. writes us the following
in regard to our Petunias:

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you.
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about 8 per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quality each year."

Mr. Rudolf Nagel, Lancaster, Pa., under date
of Dec. 14, 1919, writes us:

"I had last year just a few of your Petunias,
but I am sure I could have sold thousands of them.
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of my expectation."

Memphis — Continued from page 75

damage to our store was not a great deal,
but we lost many a sale that we counted
on for Christmas Eve and, consequently
suffered a loss that cannot be estimated.
The basement of our store was flooded
with water and considerable damage was
done to stocks of boxes, paper and vari-
ous supplies which, however, were entirely
covered with insurance. The total loss
was between $700 and $1000.

"By extraordinary efEort on the part of
our employees we were able to make all
our deliveries, except about a half dozen,
and to date have only had three com-
plaints on the condition of flowers.

"We are thankful that the damage
was so slight and that we will not have
to move to a new location as this one is
well advertised now. We had just about
completed our new store about 30 days
ago at a heavy expense and if we had had
to go over the same thing again at this
time we would have been up against it,
sure enough.

"The building in which the fire started
was entirely destroyed."

Owing to the loss of the best hours of
Christmas Eve, we were just slightly be-
hind last year, but are confldent we
would have passed it easily but for the
fire," says W. C. Johnson. "We are look-
ing forward to a wonderful increase in
business this year," he continued.

Trade Notes

The Memphis flower business for
the holidays pushed its way to the fore-
front among other retail businesses in
Memphis, and was almost alone among
those trades which did a better business
this year than was done last year. Candy
sales came near being better than last
year along with the flower sales, which
are reported larger by a few dollars only.
"This can be credited partly," says
W. H. Euglehart, president of the Idle-
wild Greenhouses, "to the persistent and
aggressive advertising v?hich we carried
in the local newspapers for the tliree
weeks preceding the holidays. In fact,
we credit our increase to the many new
customers which were won by our adver-
tising during that period, inasmuch as
our unit order per customer was much
smaller in dollars and cents, than last
year.

"Why the unit order should be much
smaller than last year is easy to under-
stand because of the present conditions
which forced many buyers to spend less
for flowers this year and more for the
necessaries. Our holiday business was
not only a surprise, but a great delight
to us, and we enter the New Year with
full confidence in the future which ap-
pears to offer the biggest year Idlewild
has yet had in its 22 years of existence.
We are going after business aggressively
and with an increased appropriation for
advertising Idlewild flowers."

The Flower Shop will informally open
its new store in the new Loew's Palace
Theatre Building on Jan. 15, the same
day that the new theatre will open. Both
Miss Harris and Mrs. Irby report a
wonderful Christmas and New Year's
business which was handled with prompt-
ness_ and satisfaction, while they were
moving from their old location to the new.
The new store is one of the most beautiful
in the South. The color scheme is laven-
der and green and the equipment is of the
best. It is the work of the A. L. Randall
Co. of Chicago. Another Dodge delivery
car is of the same attractive color scheme.
The Flower Shop was started in 1909
by Mrs. M. E. Irby and Miss Kate L.
Harris of Memphis. A few years later
they moved to a new location on Madison
ave. to take care of their growing busi-
ness. From this last location they moved
into their beautiful new store at 81
Union ave. on New Year's Day and are
lireparing for their informal opjening
Jan. 15, when the new theatre opens.
Congratulations are due the two girls
who are making a success of the flower
business. Miss Harris made a business
trip to Chicago last week arranging for
the final details of the opening of the
Flower Shop.

Nell's Flower Shop reports a fine
Christmas business. Mrs. Morehead,
"Nell," as she is known to everyone, has
just purchased a new delivery car.

Memphis Floral Co. reports a good
Christmas business on plants especially.
They had all they could handle. All in-
dications point to a wonderful business
year for Memphis florists.

Auburn, Ala.

The College greenhouse connected to
the Experiment Station, sold everything
in the way of cut flowers and pot plants
that were salable. These houses are run
as a commercial plant, only to dispose of
surplus stock not used for experimental
purposes or beautifying the grounds. Be-
ing a college town, and during the holiday
season almost depleted by reason of the
students leaving, no great amount of busi-
ness was looked for, so that the volume
alone was somewhat of a surprise. This
College, unlike the University, has from
1100 to 1200 pupils, mostly children of
persons In moderate circumstances, and
some 250 vocational men, wounded sol-
diers seeking an education, and although
Alabama is conceded to be an agricultural
State, and its future depends on its
farms, still the allotment set aside by the
Legislature is barely enough to carry the
Institution along. Compared with other
States it is a travesty and there is no
end in sight..

The large agricultural buifding burned
down Oct. 17, compelled the seeking of
quarters for the professors, offices and
class room in the city. There is no pros-

pect of a rebuilding of the large College
until 1924, when the Legislature meets
to pass an appropriation for that pur-
pose, w. C. Cook.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

More QuarELntine

California has apparently put a bar
against Oregon grown Strawberry
plants to prevent the introduction into
the former State, of the Strawberry plant
weevil. As might be expected, the weevil
is already there. A grower at Florin re-
ported trouble among his plants two
years ago, and the State Department sent
an expert who, after examination of the
plants, said he would report later. The
report is still being awaited, but in the
meantime, the quarantine against the
weevil has been ordered. The grower
aforesaid is appealing to the "gods" and
the San Francisco Bulletin for a
remedy before the weevil destroys the
plants, which represent about 200 car-
loads of fruit annually.

There seem to be two pitiful aspects
about this matter. One is that the grower
referred to hoped for assistance inside
of two years, the other that he has ig-
nored the remedy which lay to hand, for
he says, "By reason of intensive cultiva-
tion during the first and second years
after planting, this parasite is unable to
do much damage. After the second year,
the plants have completely matted the
beds and cultivation becomes impossible."

To me this sounds queer. California
may call for different methods, but I
have always been an advocate of thor-
ough cultivation for Strawberries between
fruiting times. Moreover I have known
growers to make more money at growing
Strawberry plants one or two seasons
than others who hung on to get crops
from older plants.

The Jjavir of Hybridizing

Not so long since "The Law of Hy-
bridizing" was reviewed in these columns
in a manner that led interested p<irties to
declare that the writer of the review was
actuated by spiteful venom, and that he
did not even know the first principles of
plant breeding. I have just read a re-
view of the same book by Prof. L. J,
Cole of the Exp. Breeding Dept., Univ.
of Wisconsin, and I can only conclude
that the reviewer for The Exchange
was as a modest lamb is to a rampant
lion.

And Still "We Keep Going

According to the Smithsonian Institute,
there are upward of 300,000 known
species of insects. Consider this, and
then remember that some of these insects
can individually become the parents of
millions in one season. Isn't it enough
to make one become bald? Then calcu-
late there is about the same number of
diseases floating around on the off chance
of locating on somebody's window box
or cabbage patch. It is enough to drive
one into lunacy ; perhaps the only thing
that saves us is the humorous fact that
the powers that be are trying to bar out
foreign pests, heedless of the multitude
of our own home pests that seemingly
cannot be mastered.

Would You -Or Wouldn't You?

SUPPOSE you could buy a thousand bags of fertilizer for $5 a bag and
sell it again for $5.50, making $500.

Now, suppose you had such a chance and turned it down because you
thought you ought to make not less than a dollar a bag.

You would be out exactly $500, wouldn't you ? $500 is exactly $500
better than no dollars at all.

Following exactly the same reasoning; suppose you have your mind set
on one of our big iron frame houses, and won't build a thing till you can
build it. How about it? Wouldn't it be a good business to build a smaller

house, even of semi-iron, and make something out of it, than to build noth-
ing and so make no more than you are now making ?

If a man's really hungry, he doesn't refuse half a loaf when his appetite
calls for a whole one. He takes what he can get, and is happy.

Whether you build now as your money permits and make half a loaf, or
wait till you can build big and get all the loaf, depends on how hungry
you really are for more of a bank account.

Let's you and I talk it over together. Let's figure out what can be
built for what money you have to build with.

Tells About His
Heating System

Mr. Van Hoesen is owner of the Glenview Greenhouses
— built and heated by us. At the close of the heating season
last Spring, he wrote us a letter about his system, that have
a notion would be as interesting reading to you as it was
gratifying to us.

Here is what he wrote:

"After one of the most severe \/inters on record, when
the thermometer registered 30 degrees below for many
days at a time, with the houses buried almost to the eaves
in great drifts of snow, I am most happy to say that the
boiler installed by you has proved satisfactory in every re-
spect. At no time did we have to force it, and the care of it
was attended to by my good wife, the writer handling the
shovel. I am proud of the equipment, and can only thank
you for looking after me so nicely. I also believe some
credit is due the skillful workmen you sent to install it.
Many times my neighbors expected to find us frost-bitten,
but at no time were we in any way put to any extra trouble.
The entire job, after a rigid test, has proven highly satis-
factory, for which I thank you."

To which let us add, we go anywhere for heating. Or
to talk over heating.

The BIG TWO Start Their 1921 Program

New York Florists Club

In the absence of President A. M. Henshaw, Vice-
President C. W. Knight opened the proceedings with
the explanation that the indisposition of the "skipper"
compelled him to take charge of the ship that evening.
It was a pleasure to him to isc able to say that Presi-
dent Henshaw was doing well.

Finance

Without further delay, he asked Percy B. Rigby to
submit the board of trustees' report for the last half of
the year ; this, while showing that the finances of the club
were highly satisfactory, also disclosed the fact that
it had been living beyond its income during the past
half 3'ear. On the proposition of Joseph Manda, the
report was accepted with the recommendation from the
board of trustees that t"fie accounts be audited by a
certified public accountant every six months, the auditor
to be P. B. Rigby, member board of trustees and a
certified public accountant.

Installation of Officers

At the expressed wish of Chairman Knight, A. L.
Miller and F. Traendly conducted President-elect I. S.
Hendrickson to the platform where he was welcomed
by the chair. In handing over the gavel to Mr. Hen-
drickson, Mr. Knight expressed the hope that, as presi-
dent, he would be able to do even more than any of
his predecessors. President Hendrickson was welcomed
most heartily and briefly responded.

Vice-President-elect Roman J. Irwin was next called
to the platform, where he was greeted with enthusiasm.
Chairman Knight, in handing his office to his successor,
expressed his gratification at being able to do so to Mr.
Irwin. The kindness of that gentleman last year en-
abled him to occupy the office which he was now va-
cating. Vice-President Irwin expressed his thanks for
the reception accorded him and promised to do all in
his power during his year of office.

Secretary John Young needed no introduction, and
in response to the applause that greeted his name, he
reiterated his former statement that it was his intention
to do his part; he had every faith in the officers ap-
pointed for the coming year, which he anticipated would

be an active one. He touched upon the Allied Trades
Association and the Eighth International Flower Show,
which would give all of them a considerable amount
of work.

Unable to attend through absence from the citv.
Treasurer W. C. Rickards, Jr., sent a letter wherein
he expressed his thanks for his reappointment and
promised to do all that was possible for the benefit of
the club.

Percy B. Rigby, as one of the newly elected trustees,
stated that it was his intention to closely watch over
the funds of the club; he considered it its duty to keep
within its income. Joseph Manda, as a trustee, said that
he had anticipated being an onlooker only; he had dur-
ing the past 34 years or so held practically every office
in the club, but this year he willingly accepted the office
of trustee, because of his appreciation and friendship
for President Hendrickson. He had on many occasions
received many courtesies from their president in the
past, and it was his desire to help all he possibly could
during his year of office.

I. S. Hendrickson Takes the Chair

President Hendrickson, in taking charge of the meet-
ing, stated that he had had no special message to offer
them. He desired, however, that an expression of sym-
pathy coupled with gratification be sent to ex-President
A. M. Henshaw, who, as they had heard from the let-
ter read by Secretary Young, was doing exceptionally
well and looking forward to being on the active list
within a short time. It was agreed that Secretary
Young should send the message. A. Herrington stated
that he had seen Mr. Henshaw as recently as Jan. 8,
and he could assure all members that their e.x-president
was doing finely.

Some Suggestions

President Hendrickson made one or two suggestions
in regard to the future. Touching upon finances, he
urged that they adopt the budget system. He considered,
too, that a stronger life membership fund was advis-
able, the money so derived to be set aside in a special
manner. There was need, too, for a fund at the dis-
posal of the essay and lecture committee. Lectures
and similar attractions could not be arranged without
a certain amount of expenditure.

Emil Schloss begged to move that the president ap-
point a budget committee and also that a stipulated sum

be set aside for the essay and lecture committee.
Joseph Manda proposed as an amendment that the
question be referred to the board of trustees, which
body he considered was the proper people to deal with
this question. Secretary Young agreed on this point
and, when put to the vote, the amendment was carried.

Transportation to Wasliington, Jan. 25

C. Lowther explained that few reservations had as
yet been placed, but it was necessary that he should
know how many intended to make use of that service
within a week or so. He gave in detail the cost of the
trip to Washington as has already appeared in The
Florists' Exchange. Secretary Young mentioned that
the S. A. F. executive committee was meeting at Wash-
ington on the 24th and 25th; therefore, he had no
doubt but that many would be making the journey Sun-
day evening. Mr. Lowther said that, if desired, the
transportation committee could arrange for those who
were making the Sunday trip in the same way as for
those who were going later.

New York Flower Show Committee

In the absence of Chairman Charles H. Totty, A.
Herrington stated that the outlook of the show in
March was one hundred per cent better than it ap-
peared to be a month ago. All four garden spaces of
1000ft. as arranged for had been taken, and nearly all
available space was booked up. The show, he was con-
vinced, would be the finest ever held in the city. He
wanted the members to talk continuously about the
show— Our Show— and do their utmost with a view to
getting a large attendance. The committee had spent
several hours that day in connection with the schedule
which, in a few days, would be distributed. It was a
matter of surprise to him to learn from Mr. Payne
that there were florists in New York City who refused
to exhibit the flower show posters. To him it seemed
incredible and he hoped that none of those refusals had
come from members of the N. Y. F. C. There would
be a tea garden at the show, supported by the various
garden clubs and presided over by many influential
ladies who, needless to say, would bring a large followtr
ing. His remarks were greeted with much applause
Secretary Young stated that the whole 300,000 shovy
envelope posterettes had been sent out. As applicatioi5p

THE regular meeting was called to order at the
Randolph Hotel on Jan. 6, at 8.30 p.m., President
T. E. Waters presiding. It is a pleasure to re-
port that all officers and trustees were present. The
minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap-
proved.

Jas. B. Morton, chairman of the Garden Committee,
submitted its annual report, for which a vote of thanks
was tendered Mr. Morton and his committee.

Annual reports of the advertising and transportation
committees were presented by F. Lautenschlager and
Michael Barker, respectively.

Secretary Lautenschlager then submitted an annual
report in which he pointed out that the membership of
the organization has increased 27^ per cent during the
past year.

New Officers Installed

Before abdicating in favor of his successor President
T. E. Waters expressed his thanks to the committees
and all members for the support given him during his
administration, stating it had been a great pleasure to
"wield the gavel" in the past year.

Philip Foley, Jr., was requested to escort the presi-
dent-elect to the chair and Mr. Kohout accepted the
office in a brief speech, stating that his formal address
would be presented later in the evening.

President Waters next installed Vice-President re-
elect A. T, Pyfer, Treasurer-elect A. H. Schneider and
Secretary re-elect F. Lautenschlager. Owing to illness
Trustee-elect Poehlmann was unable to be present.

Treasurer Schneider, who needs no introduction to
the trade, stated that he joined the Florists Club during
its first year when the attendance was 15 or 16, so that
all could be seated at the so-called "Florists Club Round
Table." He told some interesting facts in regard to
days gone by which were of great interest to all present.

Applications for membership were received from
F. R. Kilner, managing editor of the Florist's Review
and A. F. Thai, advertising.

Chicago to Washington Plans

Chairman Barker of the transportation committee
announced that the Chicago party would leave on the

Manhattan Limited via the Pennsylvania Railroad from
the Union Depot, Canal and Adams sts., Tuesday, Jan.
25, 10.30 a.m. It should reach Washington the follow-
ing morning at 9.28 o'clock.

A Big Time in February

Mr. Waters reported that the committee deemed it
advisable to combine the February Novelty Show with
a Ladies' Night and Dance, to be held Thursday even-
ing, Feb. 3, at the Hotel Randolph. The entire second
floor of the hotel has been reserved for the event and
Mowshin's Bluebird Orchestra has been engaged for
the occasion. This affair will be tendered as a compli-
mentary event to all members of the trade and their
friends. Every one is invited and Chairman Waters
plans to make this the trade's biggest social event.
Every florist is requested to wear a boutonniere and
every florist's lady should have a corsage bouquet. Come
to the dance and flower show and say it with flowers.

President Kohout appointed the following gentlemen
to serve upon a permanent committee for the exhibit
and meeting of the Chrysanthemum Society of America
to be held in Chicago in November 1921: N. J. Wietor,
chairman ; F. Lautenschlager, W. N. Rudd, C. C. Poll-
worth, A. H. Schneider.

The following good of the club committee for 1921
was also appointed : T. E. Waters, Chairman ; Paul E.
Weiss, Wm. Wienhoeber, J. E. Pollworth. Chas. Erne,
Paul Klingsporn, Ed Goldenstein, E. A. OUinger.

The President's Inaugural Address

President Kohout next made his inaugural address,
in which he greeted the members and officers and then
took up important and fundamental matters in the fol-
lowing words :

To the officers of the specialized independent trade
branches — the retailers, growers, wholesalers and the
Allied Florists Association of Illinois — to them we are
indebted for keeping at heart the welfare of the trade,
for being ready to coopeirate and improve trade condi-
tions as a whole. It is these local, separate, specialized
trade branches that are uppermost in my mind and that
I want to speak about in this address in my endeavor
to inaugurate a new policy with which to guide and
keep in motion such business and social activities ^ as
will lead us, I hope, over a healthful and enterprising
administration.

We have four other individual specialized trade bodr
ies outside the jurisdiction of the Chicago Florists' Club,
organizations that would make spokes of great strength
in the wheel of that club. There are the retailers, the
growers, the wholesale distributer, and the miscellane-
ous allied tradesmen. In our own membership, all of
these trades are represented, but we fail to represent
them as trades in our business activities, hence the for-
mation of their so-called competitive trade organiza-
tions. „ .

Some deplore the number of separate florist organi-
zations here in Chicago believing that the time has come
for a centralization of energy and service, to prevent
the loss in time, energy, money and service due to the
duplication caused by so many independent meetings,
and the waste of so much money in the form of dues. ,
The Need of Cooperation ,

We cannot have too many trade orgEuiizations, pro-
vided their work is efficient, for efficient work eHmt-
nates waste and duplication. The formation of these
new local trade bodies hastens the necessity for, and
makes more certain, the reorganization of the Chicago
Florists Club, in order to expedite the movement toward
centralization of energy, time, service and money. The
new order of things must be recognized, but this was
possible only after these separate trade branches had
shown their need for separate organization. And now
is the time, in ray estimation for readjustment, the tirne
to invite these separate trade organizations, to come in
with us.

Our meetings in the future should be of the most
general interest for the wholesaler has learned to be-
come directly interested in the affairs of the grower
and the grower has become interested in the distributers,
both wholesale and retail. We all recognize, then, that
we must cooperate— retailers, wholesalers and growers
—must all work together to solve the problems, indi-
vidual and collective, of all our membership, which
represents all classes of the trade. Great as is the work
done by the local bodies, there is vastly more to be done
by a combination of all of them, within the Chicago
Florists Club. These separate local bodies wdl soon
find that such cooperation will be needed to perfect and
extend their own work.

Sometimes, I think the name club is not the proper
appellation for this broad, cosmopolitan, comprehensive

Council of the Elder Statesmen

Newly Elected President HendricksonJlN. Y. F. C.)l
Gives Dinner to Elders and Chairmen of New
^ York Florists' Club Committees

IN KEEl'lNG with what is now apiurently an estab-
lished annual custom, the president of the New York
Florists Club for 1931 gave a dinner on the night ol
the lith at the Hotel Pennsylvania. Mr. Hendrickson s
guests were: Past S. A. F. and O. H. President A. L,
iMiUer, Chas. H. Totty, Arthur Herrington, Joseph
Manda, C. W. Knight, A. T. Dc La Mare VV H^ i^'^'"
breeht, Jr., Roman J. Irwin, W. C. Rickards, Jr., 1 ercy'
B. Rigby, Peter Gerlaird, J. H. Pepper, I. Fight and C
Lowther,

After an enjoyable dinner had been disposed of, sug-
gestions were invited from each guest which would make
for the success of the host's administration. Secretary
Young's unavoidable absence having been explained by
President Hendrickson, W. C. Rickards, the re-elected
treasurer, was called upon. Mr. Rickards spoke of the
club's finances as being in a most satisfactory condition
and concluded with a plea for the club to own its own
home, a hope much in the hearts of many members for
some yters past. Roman J. Irwin, incoming vice-presi-
dent, endorsed the own home idea, pointing out the
many advantages which would accrue from same, both
from a business and social standpoint. Mr. Irwin be-
lieved that if the club possessed such a home the incon-
venience of the cut flower market being split up as now
would be eliminated. The proposed home was pictured
as a place which would be a center for all horticultural
activity in these parts.

A. L. Miller, whose interest m the welfare ot the
mother society is so well established, told the gathering
that undoubtedly his support of the N. Y. F. C. in the
past was the greatest contributing factor to the trade s
conferring upon him the highest office it had at its dis-
posal that of the presidency of the S. A. F. and O. H.
The New York Florists Club, said Mr. Miller, was un-
doubtedly the greatest florists' club in the country, a pre-
eminence which carried with it deep obligations. He
fully believed that {"resident Hendrickson's administra-
tion would be a success and thus the club's interest would
be advanced. ' .

At this point the newly elected president said that one
of the first thoughts that came to him after being elected
to the office was the amount of benefit to be derived
from the club possessing a larger life membership. He
had recently taken out such a membership for himself
and proposed to make a consistent effort in this direc-
tion during his entire administration. He invited those
present who were not life members to take such action
for themselves. .

C. W. Knight, introduced as the newly appointed
chairman of one of the most important committees of
the club, that of the committee of awards, promised
conscientious service in the judging of exhibits, reiterat-
ing a well-known fact that the awards given by the
New York Florists Club were always watched with in-
terest by the trade everywhere. The extent of the serv-
ice of the award committee, concluded Mr. Knight, was
dependent on the efforts of the exhibition committee, and
he asked that every effort be made to arouse a greater
interest in the staging of exhibits at forthcoming meet-

FIRST ANNUAL MEETING

National Flower Growers' Association

All Growers throughout the Country, whether

members or not, are given a hearty invitation

by Secretary J. F. Ammann to be present

THE time is fast approaching for the first annual
meeting of the National Flower Growers Asso-
ciation which is to be held in Washington, D. C ,
on Thursday, Jan. 37.

Much progress has been made toward further per-
fecting this association since the organization meeting
held at Cleveland last August. Several of the principal
communities have district organizations perfected and
working, which will send regularly elected delegates to
attend the Washington meeting. A few other communi-
ties have so far just temporarily organized. To the
latter, as well as to all growers who are interested in
the progress of this movement, we extend a hearty in-
vitation to be present at this first annual meeting. While
the actual voting power at this meeting is vested only
in the regularly elected delegates, we want it understood
that this is to be an open meeting for all growers and
the officers will be glad to welcome suggestions and dis-
cussions from any who wish to take part in the pro-
ceedings.

committee, promised the effort which tlie previous
speaker has asked for. Furt.ier, he explained that his
position with Mr. Irwin kept him in close touch w.tii
local growers and he was hoping that this advantage
could be turned to good account for the club.

Peter Gerlaird, the appointed chairman of the house
and entertainment committee, shed light on some of the
problems of providing the festive side of the activities
of the club.

Wm. H. Siebrecht, Jr., spoke on the work of the legis-
lative committee, telling of the amount of work involved
in making a small change in its charter so as to make
the club an acceptable tenant to the authorities of the
Engineering Building. From present indications, Mr.
Siebrecht jokingly remarked, a similar amount of work
would be involved in getting out of that building.

A. T. De La Mare, appointed as chairman of a new
committee, that of the good of the club committee, was
the next speaker. Mr. De La Mare advanced the idea
of a question box at all meetings whereby members
would be encouraged to contribute written questions at
all meetings. Mr. De La Mare believes that a good deal
of the success of the club depends upon a closer interest
in club matters on the part of each member and it is his
idea that the question box plan would do much to bring
about this individual interest. He also spoke again on
the importance of meetings commencing at 7.30 p.m.
sharp, giving it as his opinion that the late openings of
the past had tended to reduce the attendance of out-of-
town members, the majority of whom desired to catch
trains no later than 10,30 p.m.

J. H. Pepper, re-appointed chairman of the publicity

committee, suggested that the work of his committee
ciiuld be made much more effective if members would
pa>s along tn it any material affecting the club which
they came across, especially that of a harmful character
as printed from time to time in newspapers.

Roman J. Irwin was announced as the re-elected
chairman of the banquet committee. Follovying his re-
marks, a discussion took place, more of which will un-
dinibtedly be heard at coming meetings of the club.

Charles H. Totty spoke interestingly of flower show
matters and as well gave full endorsement to the club
home idea. Mr. Totty also paid great tribute to the fine
slogan of the club, "All One." In all important discus-
sions, with varying opinions from both sides, the , final
unity of the club was, said Mr. Totty, a marked feature
and one that truly exemplified its slogan. "May it al-
ways be with us," concluded Mr. Totty.

C. Lowther, the newly appointed chairman of the
transportation committee, expressed pleasure in serving
in that capacity and in accordance with the wish of
President Hendrickson gave details of the coming trip
til Washington in connection with the meetings of tne
American Carnation Society and the National Flower
Growers Association.

Arthur Herrington gave intimate details of the forth-
coming flower show, predicting a great success for the
forthcoming event. Mr. Herrington, however, expressed
it as his opinion that the .success hoped for could be in-
creased considerably by a greater effort on the part of
the club as a whole. There were innumerable ways
through which club members could assist and he ur-
gently asked that a greater effort in this direction be
made than in the past.

Joseph Manda in his opening remarks promised Presi-
dent Hendrickson fullest support in every possible way.
Continuing, he once more voiced his idea suggested on
former occasions of the club formulating a budget for
the year. The advisability of this froni a business
standpoint is beyond doubt and from the discussion that
followed the trustees will undoubtedly be going into the
matter and presenting it in proper form for con-
sideration at a regular meeting of the club. Mr. Manda
made the urgent plea, which met with much favor, that
every effort be made to secure exhibits for the forth-
coming flower show from the smaller growers of plant
and bedding stock. It was Mr. Manda's idea, endorsed
by others, that bedding growers in particular have a
wonderful opportunity in educating the public to a
greater use of their specialty through practical demon-
strations at. the flower show of how these plants can be
utilized in their own gardens.

Percy B. Rigby, a trustee, favored a closer inspection
of the club funds than hitherto. The figures placed be-
fore the trustees should be thoroughly exarnined and
an analysis of them presented to the club in simple and
convincing form. Mr. Rigby also advancd the sugges-
tion, which met with much approval, that a greater
show of cut flowers as seen and bought by the public
every day be exhibited at the flower show in addition to
the wonderful specimens that have been shown in the
past. The wholesalers, thought Mr. Rigby, might be
prevailed upon to furnish such fresh cut stock during
the week of the show.

All guests having been heard from. President Hen-
drickson closed the proceedings with thanks for the
suggestions advanced and extended the season's greet-
ings to all present.

On A. L. Miller's motion a standing vote of thanks
was accorded to the host, terminating a most enjoyable
dinner and an interesting meeting.

There is a vast amount of work ahead for a closer
cooperation of the producers in our trade. We should
strive first of all to create a more uniform marketable
condition for our stock, not by arbitrarily fixing prices.
for this no doubt is farthest from the minds of any of
those now connected with the organization; but as we
are living in an age of cooperative advertising and pub-
licity we need more and more to give this matter our
best thought from the standpoint of the producer.

Supply and demand is and always should be the prin-
cipal factor in establishing prices for any product. There
is a way, however (and it has been clearly proven by
statistics from other producers in cooperative advertis-
ing campaigns) of stimulating prices by creating an in-
creased demand for the product through judicious ad-
vertising. That should be one of the principal factors
in the work of this organization. Cooperative adver-
tising of various products has proven not only the cor-
rect agency to increase the demand for such, but it has
also proven to be the principal factor in bringing about
a uniform grading of those products, which we as grow-
ers must admit is essential to our business.

Another matter of great importance is finding the cost
of production of any article. The more systematically
this is done the better the foundation of that industry,
■phis has never yet been accomplished for our business
except among a few individual interests. By a closer
cooperation and through our organization we can dis-
seminate such information as will give the most hum-
ble among our trade a plan by which they can work
out an intelligent cost system and the same can also in-

clude a simplified system of bookkeeping for the grow-
ers. All this is needed, possibly not for all the individ-
uals, but truly so for the trade at large as well as for
most of the individuals, and we must not lose sight of
the fact that the individual greenhouse establishments
throughout the country will only measure up to what
the average of them sets forth as a standard. _ Hence,
the more we can improve each individual establishment,
the higher will we raise the standard, for we are, after
all (organized or unorganized) measured by the stand-
ard of the average. It is a proven fact, however, that
through organization and organization^ only that stand-
ard can be raised in any profession or industry.

As we get along further in this work we shall un-
doubtedly find new fields of endeavor, so it is with these
few thoughts that we again extend to the flower pro-
ducers of this country a hearty invitation to join with
us in this new organization with a view of a closer
affiliation with other branches of our trade, for the
betterment of our whole trade, and for the strengthen-
ing of the great parent body of all our trade associa-
tions : the grand old Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists.

A Good Florist But a Poor Politician. — The rise from poverty
to high position ot a man in the trade had been noted by
one of a group of florists, when another mentioned^ as a con-
trary instance a name with which many were familiar, telling
what a splendid, aU-around florist he had been, then of how
he had gone into politics and progressed for some years, but
finally landed in jail after being convicted tor endeavonng
to buy a judicial position.

Notes from Abroad

This weekend is given up, hei-e in
the British Isles, to family gatherings
and a brief respite from the toils and
anxieties of business life. In the seed
trade it is as a short period of calm
before the storm, which in a day or two
will burst on us with its oldtime fury.

During the last few days the weather
has grown warmer and warmer, until
^yi^ter clothing is a positive burden. The
air is so mild and Springlike that people
sit about in parks and open places almost
as if it were June instead of December.
But while this state of things prevails
north of the English Channel it has been
very different on the north coast of the
Mediterranean. After a prolonged period
of wet^ a sudden freeze set in and 15 deg.
of frost were registered in the French
Riviera. This has, of course, played
havoc with most of the plants being cul-
tivated for seed of such choice articles
as Cyclamen, Primulas and Coleus, and
the supply from this region next season
will probably be seriously reduced. It is
very nard lines for the many hard work-
ing and capable growers who thus see
the fruits of their time and labor dis-
appear at one fell stroke.

Howard U. Earl of the Jerome B. Eice
Seed Co., was recently again in London
calling on the leading seed houses, pre-
paratory, as we understand, to his de-
parture for his native shores. A hearty
^TDon voyage" goes with him.

New York Seed Trade

Business in the seed stores of this city
has crossed the starting line for 1921,
and is off on the season's race. The indi-
cations of this are seen in every store,
in the greater activity of the employees,
in the arrivals of seeds in bulk, in the
distribution of these seeds among the de-
partments, in the arrivals, too, of sun-
dries and of fertilizers, and in the dis-
play of seeds, and of requisites for the
orchard, and of garden books in the store
■windows. The increased advertisements
of flower seeds, vegetable seeds, and Sum-
mer flowering bulbs in The Florists*
Exchange are additional indications of
the fact that the seed business in 1921
is more progressive than ever, and is get-
ting into its stride for the season.

Robert MacNiff, proprietor of the Mac-
Niff Horticultural Co., left the city on
Friday, Jan. 7, for Miami, Fla., where
he will remain for a few weeks for a
much needed rest after the recent busy
holiday season.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports increased
activity in its flower and vegetable seed
departments since the distribution of its
preliminary seed list. This store is al-
ready in receipt of one ear of Gladiolus
bulbs from its Michigan farm ; it took
its usual precaution of having a man on
this car with heating apparatus which,
however, was not needed this year; the
car came through from Michigan in 68
hours.

S. D. Woodruff & Sons who, by the
way, offered last week in these columns
a large list of vegetable and flower seed
for immediate delivery, on very liberal
terms, are now well established in their
commodious, five story building at 197
Washington st. This well known flrm
of growers and wholesalers, with seed
growing farms in Orange, Conn., and
on the Pacific Coast, is certainly better
equipped now than ever before in its his-
tory to carry on its increasing business,
and everything- in its New York quar-
ters indicates progress and optimism.

Beginning at A and ending with Z the
progressive seed house of Stumpp &
Walter Co., is offering weekly in the col-
umns of The Exchange a comprehen-
sive list of new crop choice flower seeds
of such kind as florists need for early
planting; among these we note seeds of

the "Balcony Petunia," a strain well
adapted for use in window boxes and
baskets, and of Ireland's favorite little
plant, the Shamrock.

Among the callers on the seed trade
this week were Mr. Coe, represent-
ing D. M. Ferry & Co., of Detroit, and
Mr. Campbell, representing the Elm City
Nursery of New Haven.

ing some of the growers in the Delta
District reduce their acreage this year.
A large shipment of seed was made by
the University Farm at Davis, Calif., to
Stepoavac Pasavina, Serbia, last week.
It is reported to be a gift, and is in-
tended to help the Serbians out of the
difficulty that came in having their seed
stocks depleted and destroyed during the
war.— J. R. W.

Chicago Seed Trade

F. Rynveld of Lisse, Holland, arrived
in Chicago Saturday. He believes that
the present season will be the best in the
history of the bulb trade. There will
be some delay until American buyers can
adjust themselves to the conditions that
confront the Holland growers.

Chicago seed houses will be repre-
sented at the fourteenth annual conven-
tion of the National Canners' Associa-
tion to be held at Atlantic City, N. J.,
the week of Jan. 17.

The American Bulb Co. reports the sea-
son's trade opening well. Its salesmen
are already covering all sections of the
country. Business from the Pacific Coast
is well above the average.

Holland bulb growers who have at-
tempted the delivery of their goods to
dealers on the Pacific Coast by way of
the Panama Canal have discovered that
there is no saving of time by so doing.
Goods unloaded from ships at New York
and shipped in carload lots overland,
have reached customers on the coast in
less time than those sent by the Canal
route.

Vaughan's Seed Store is undergoing
many changes in preparation for the
coming Spring trade. Salesmen on the
road report good business in flower seed
and bulbs for both immediate and later
planting.

Creditors Seek to Buy Bolgiano
Firm

An announcement has been made by
Willis E. Myers, referee, of 10 E. Fay-
ette St., Baltimore, Md., to the effect
I that a meeting of the creditors of the
bankrupt seed firm of J. Bolgiano and
Sons will be held at 3 o'clock p.m. on
I Jan. 18, 1921, in the U. S. District Court
room at Baltimore, to consider a propo-
sition made by certain unsecured credit-
ors of that firm to purchase its assets,
with a view to continuing the business
and liquidating the same in the interests
j of those creditors who shall form a cor-
' poration to carry out the plan. Further
[ details may be secured from Mr. Myers.

California Seed Notes

The. L D. Waller Seed Co., Guadalupe,
Calif., favor us with the following in-
teresting note:

Apparently Mother Nature is trying to
compensate for our scanty rainfall during
the past three seasons. The wind-up of
our harvest has been interrupted by 3 in.
of rain to date which is twice the amount
received up to this time last year. Let
us hope this difference is maintained for
the balance of our rainy season.

Needless to say, these early rains have
greatly delayed our delivery of a few
items which were harvested late in the
season.

Sweet Pea planting for crop of 1921
is nearly completed and certain varieties
of flower seeds will soon follow. We are
planning on a normal acreage of all seed
crops; contract orders are coming in
rapidly and all signs indicate a, healthy
condition of the flower seed business.

San Francisco Seed Notes

Senator Rigdon of San Luis Obispo,
chairman of the Senate Committee of
Agriculture, whose Pure Seed Bill was
passed by both houses last season, but
was vetoed because it inadvertently car-
ried a double appropriation, has again
made an effort to put his bill through.
One of his recent published statements
contained the following: "Inasmuch as
other States have pure seed laws, schem-
ing seedsmen pour their polluted seeds
into California. For instance, in grain
seeds are found hay burs, san burs,
cockle burs, white mustard, iron weed,
and many varieties of milkweed, many
of which have been found to be poison-
ous to stock."

John Bodger of Los Angeles, Calif.,
dropped into town on the 6th inst., en
route for home.

Such a little thing as the recent in-
crease in freight rates, is quoted by some
as having been a deciding factor in mak-

Pages of Perfection

That's the only way to express the feel-
ing of one interested in the progress of
horticulture — after having looked over
the "Maule" catalogue for 1921. Every
one of its nearly two hundred pages is
a gem in itself, from whatever angle you
view it, whether as a horticulturist, a
business man, or an artist. Is it any
wonder they are doing the most wonder-
ful business all over the world ! The men
capable of producing such a gem of ra-
diance for the people who need the im-
petus to the glorious path of beautiful
gardens to which every cultivated human
aspires deserve every credit. Such a
book is not only a gem of business litera-
ture, it is a mouument to the genius of
William Henry Maule, the founder of the
house, to Edward C. Dungan, its pres-
ent directing genius, and to all his able
assistants.

All of us who are interested in the
progress of horticulture along high toned,
honorable and ambitious lines — we, every
one of us who aspires to higher things,
certainly have to take our hats off to this
modest, truthful, beautiful, charming
book that has so soothingly alighted on
our doorstep this fine January morning,
1921. By George C. Watson.

Catalogs Received

Charles H. Totty Co., Madison N. J. — Special
12 page list dealinc with vegetable and flower seeds.
Owing to repeated inqiiiriei?, the firm has decided
to handle these lines and has undertaken to supply
the Pakro seeds both loose and in seedtape form.

Maloney Bros, and Wells Co., Danesville.
N. Y. — Catalog for 1921. A comprehensive list of
hardy fruit and ornamental trees. Contains mary
suggestions for planting and describes all the lead
ing varieties. Roses are a strong feature, also
flowering shrubs and hardy perennials. As mem-
bers of the A. A. N. the firm guarantees all stock to
the value of its first cost, and also ensures safe de-
livery through careful packing.

Muller-Sealey Co., Inc., 145 West 45th st.,
New York, — Annual Spring catalog of seeds, bulbs
and plants. A neat list of pocket size, yet offering
a most extensive variety of garden requisites.

A number of flower seed novelties are given a
leading position. These include Sunbeam Poppies,
dwarf annual Delphiniums, and a number of Sweet
Peas. The general list of flower seeds embraces all
the best things in annuals, biennials, and peren-
nials. Vegetables are well represented, while
among roots and plants we note Gladioli, Lilies,
Dahlias, Cannas, Montbretias, Begonias and green-
house plants. Sundries and tools of all kinds, in-
cluding various imported lines, and fertilizers, etc.,
are an important feature of this catalog. This firm
specializes in landscape work.

Advance Dahlia Gardens, Compton, Cal, —
Special list of new and standard Dahlias raised in
California and elsewhere. The two leading novelties
are Zenobia and Dorothulia, priced at SIO and $25,
respectively. Cultural notes are also given.

Peter Henderson & Co., Cortlandt St., New
York. — ^Everything for the garden. The cheerful
faced gardener who graces the front cover page ie a
worthy contemporary of the famed Johnny Walker,
for although in his 75th year, he continues to trundle
his well filled barrow of garden produce. To com
memorate its Diamond Jubilee the firm has issued
a particuarly good catalog and, on the inside cover ,-
demonstrates by a pictorial "honor arch" the service
it has rendered in the way of introducing valuable
vegetable varieties during its years of trading.
Six full page colored plates depict a few of the lead-
ing seed specialties, while many of the vegetable
and flower illustrations are tinted. The 170 page
catalog is most profusely illustrated, and what the
home gardener or, for that matter, the florist, cannot
find in the way of seeds therein, is hardly worth
considering. All the illustrations, including the
color plates, are from actual photographs. A
novelty that will interest the farmer is the new
Golden Dent field corn Diamond Jubilee. No

other special novelties are featured but among
Summer flowering bulbs and roots the new Patrick
O'Mara Dahlia is given prominence. All in all, a
catalog worthy of one of our oldest seed houses.

Henry A. Dreer, Chestnut St., Philadelphia. —
Dreer's Garden Book, 1921. Always simple but
effective is the cover design of the Spring catalog
issued by this firm, now in its S3d year. Consisting
of 208 pages, this list, comprising as it does both
seeds and plants, is one of the largest and most
comprehensive issued in America. Without unduly
elaborate pictorial and descriptive details, the cat-
alog is made what it aims to be, a real garden help
to ever>-one. Illustrated on every page with half-
tone cuts, it carries in addition sis well executed
full page colored plates, depicting several important
vegetables, Dreer's Mammoth Helichrysum and
Smrley Poppies among seed specialties, and Dor-
nei-B fine H. T. Rose Marie, and Paul's Scarlet
Clmaber among Roses. Many pages are devoted
to specially good or new varieties of vegetables and
flowers, but no 1921 novelties are featured. The
plant section, which consists of nearly 100 pages,
features all the finest garden Roses, including sev-
eral 1920 novelties. Dahlias, a great specialty, are
beautifully illustrated, while among other lines,
GlMioU, Cannas, Hydrangeas, including a new
double variety, greenhouse plants of all kinds,
hardy perennials and garden requisites are given
special prominence,

Charles H. Totty Co., Madison, N. J.— Unques-
tionably one of the finest plant catalogs issued, and
fully upholds the reputation of this firm as special-
wts. Devoted largely to Chrj-santhemums, one
here finds no less than nine large flowered novelties
for 1921 . As usual, these are classed as the Pockett-
Totty set. In all, over 40 pages are devoted to
Mums, every serviceable type being represented.
Many varieties are beautifully illustrated in half-
tone and color. Roses follow nest in importance
and novelties for 1921 are Golden Ophelia, partially
distributed last season, Columbia Supreme, a fine
"Jeep break from Columbia, and White OpheUa.
All the most recent novelties recognized as com-
mercial varieties are described. Among Carna-
uons, the two giant MamieUi novelties, Merveille
Irancaise and Le Miracle are given a prominent
place. Mame Sunshine. Laddie and other varieties
of ment are featured. Tender bedding and green-
house plants, Cannas. Dahlias, many important
novelties among the latter. Gladioli, outdoor Rosea
including the new Pauls Scariet Climber, hardy
perennials of special merit, and the new Raspberry,
l-a Prance, are all given prominence. The several
color plates and the clear half-tone illustrations
are specially notable features of this catalog, which

Calendars Received

Whatever has been said as to the
prevalence of business depression (which
by the way, a splendid authority, no less
than W. P. G. Harding, Governor of the
Federal Reserve Board, tells us is now
rapidly passing away), the seedsmen
throughout the country in particular have
not relaxed their efforts in the way of
calendar announcements. Really, we be-
lieve more such are being given away this
year than for some years past; and,
among them, some remarkably good ones.
* * »

The Nebraska Seed Co., Omaha, Neb —
Mailing out quite an effective calendar
for 1921. The central figure is that of a
charming young lady, wearing a corsage
bouquet of Violets, the tout ensemble mak-
ing a handsome picture for any desirable
wall space. A calendar pad at the base
of the card includes the moon's phases.

Jeeome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambeidge,
N- Y.— Emphasize their most useful cata-
log through reproductions of various
^pes of one of the great specialties —
Cucumbers — including Rice's Early For-
tune Cuciunber, claimed by them to be
the most uniform and best colored Cucum-
ber of recent introduction, discovered by
them in 1906 in a field of Davis' Perfect.
So real is their representation that one
could almost eat them. The green of the
Cucumber is perfectly reproduced and even
the spines seem as though they would
stick to one's palm. "We mention the per-
fect coloring with the definite purpose of
impressing upon seedsmen generally that
in the majority of cases their color
work on Peas, Beans and Cucumbers is
altogether too anemic; an artist would
call the majority of them "impossible."
Admitted that it costs more money in
the printing to bring out the colors cor-
rectly, if this can not be afforded better to
leave the illustrations in plain black and
white. Rice's calendar also calls attention
to their specialty in selected types of
pickling Cucumbers. The calendar itself
is in large figures and for that reason
will be found most useful.

Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot
Works, Beacon, N. Y. — ^A useful acces-
sory for the office and work shop, the
date figures are large and bold and
printed in two colors, all the holidays

and birthdays of America's most famous
men being shown in red as are Sxindays
On the back is given the complete calen-
dars for the years 1920, 1921 and 1922,
which afford a ready reference for past
and future dates. Phases of the moon
are given together with other useful in-
formation. The calendar also serves as a
splendid ad of the Hammond specialties.

From the National Cash Register Co.,
Dayton, O., has been received a good,
business calendar, one carrying on each
of its Sin. X lOin. perpendicular leaves
the seven days of the week. The illus-
tration on the backbone of the calendar
is that of the dental dispensary in the
company's factory at Dayton and, from its
printed matter, we learn that all em-
ployees in the company's service are en-
titled to first aid treatment free for the
greater portion of the ills to which the
teeth are subject.

Callas Bros., 100 Sip ave. and 2S84
Boulevard, Journal Sq. Bldg., Jersey
City. — These enterprising florists are cer-
tainly doing themselves proud through
the distribution of a calendar, the equal
of which is seldom met with. The size
is unique, 41%in. wide by 31in. high. The
central picture is from a painting by
Yeend King, entitled "Playtime in the
Good Old Days," showing men engaged
in the then popular game of bowls, a
game that many would be pleased to see
revived. In the background is the old
village church and tenant bouses with
huge trees overshadowing them ; to the
left are shown two lawn mowers of a
primitive type. The central figures, nat-
urally, are the bowlers in their pictur-
esque attire. Perennials of various sorts
form the attractive framework for the
bowling grounds. At the top of the
calendar is the slogan in prominent let-
tering, "Say it with Flowers." The cal-
endar pad itself is a huge one, 20in. wide
by IS^in. high, with l%in. figures, the
moon's phases and the full calendar for
the preceding and following months. Ad-
ditionally, other figures show the progress
of the year as to number of days expired.
Recently Callas Bros, were awarded the .
first prize for the entire city of New I
Jersey for their window decoration, the [
judges being two out of town window |
dressing experts.

Special Delivery Mail

Hereafter this class of mail icill be left i
in regular mail receptacle if personal
delivery cannot be effected. \

Postmaster Patten of New York City 1
draws attention to that which evidently :
(the order being in accordance with ;
amended postal regulations) will be ob- '
served hereafter in all parts of the '
country. \

Business men in large cities particularly
have often found a special delivery letter
reached them at a later hour than had it
come through in the regular mails, for
the reason that having been offered after
business hours it was taken back to the
postoffice and not delivered until tne
second or third mail the next morning.
Under the new ruling the special delivery ;
mail will be delivered without receipt,
and will be left in regular mail receptacles |
when personal delivery cannot be effected.
In explanation, the postoffice states that
the special delivery mail system is de- j
signed to expedite and not to safeguard I
mail; if the latter is desired then the I
letter should be registered. Mail contain- [
ing currency or other articles of value
should be registered, but in all cases it |
is desirable to use postal money orders ,
instead of coin when making remittances, i

New Dahlia Patrick O'Mara '

In the Peter Henderson & Co. catalog
for 1921, "Everything for the Garden," ,
a goodly portion of a page is given over
to the ad of Richard Vincent & Sons Co.'s
new decorative Dahlia, Patrick O'Mara, in
which it is called a wonderful new
Dahlia now being offered for the first
time," and, by the way^ quoting what
The Exchange said of it when it was
shown at White Marsh last October. From
the originators, R. Vincent & Sons Co.,
White Marsh, Md., we learn that ad-
vance orders for this new aspirant for
Dahlia honors are being received in quite ;
satisfactory numbers. So far as we nave |
been able to note this Dahlia, we have ]
little doubt but that it is going to prove 1
a strong favorite everywhere the in- '
herent qualities of a good Dahlia are un-
derstood.

Bulb Stock for St. Valentine Day

Almost any of the early Tulips and
Narcissi cau be placed in heat now,
and bro\ight into flower for early
February. You will want a good supply
for St. Valentine Day, in fact, right
now your patrons begin to ask for some-
thing besides Roses and Carnations;
they want what they call Spring flowers.
The smaller grower often makes the mis-
take of placing the flats, as they are
brought in, on the hot water returns,
which, during severe firing, are apt to
get so hot as to dry up a lot of the roots,
even if the soil in the flats is kept moist.
This usually results in the plants
coming blind, or the buds dry up. l^ither
lay a 1x2 wood strip over the pipes, or
place the flats below the pipes if pos-
sible, and hang a bag or cloth on the
edge of the bench to keep the light away.
You need heat, moisture and darkness
in order to obtain results for the nest
few weeks to come, but you can't cook
the plants.

Tuberous Begonias for April ,

By starting bulbs or tubers of those
Begonias now, you will have flowering
plants by the end of March, and while
they may not be quite ready for Easter,
you will sell a lot of the plants during
April. Few plants are more sbowy and
those who for some reason don't find
them good bedders during the Summer
months, should nevertheless plant s6me
for indoor flowering. In a house of 55
deg., and just a little protected from the
sun, they will keep on flowering from
April until Fall and make beautiful pot-
plants. In order to start the tubers with
the least amount of loss, take flats, about
3 inches deep, place a layer of sandy
loam over the bottom followed by a
one-half inch, layer of sand, on which
place the tubers, allowing just a little
space between tbese. Barely cover them

with sand and place the flats either on
the propagatii g bench with about 70
degrees Dottom heat, or set on the hot
water returns, keepii.g them moderately
moist; later on put up into fours.

Gypsophila elegans

For early Spring flowering, seed of this
useful little annual can be sown now;
transplant them later on about 2 inches
apart into flats 3 inches deep and place
on a shelf in a Carnation house, where
they can remain until ready to cut. Tuis
is a better way than to either sow or
plant out on a bench which space you can
devote to something else. During April,
when these Gypsophilas are in bloom,
you will have use for the graceful stems
loaded with the small white flowers
Every day they will save you a lot of
expensive Asparagus or other greens to
go with Carnations or Roses.

Lobelias

If you grow Lobelias from seed, it
takes quite a while to obtain a busny
plant, and especially is this so veith
Lobelia speciosa, the trailing sort, so use-
ful for hanging baskets and window boxes.
In order to obtain such plants and have
them ready by the early part of May,
it is well to sow a little seed now. For
weeks the little seedlings are almost at
a standstill, and in order to obtain the
best results, you should pot up the plants
separately, instead of crowding sis or
nine in a 2 or 2^/^ inch wide pot.

Delphi]

[uniums

Before you forget it, order one or two
ounces of Delphinium seed, either a good
mixed strain or Belladonna hybrids. Sow
one-half of the seed now in flats in a
Carnation house temperature, transplant
the seedlings later on into other flats.

By the end of March, the i)lants can go
into 2^'8 to be planted out in early May
where they are to remain. You will get
quite a few flowers from these plants dur-
ing the Siunmer and Fall months and
the following year they will be at their
best, after which you cau lift a good
batch in Fall and Keep in a frame to oe
brought in about February for forcing
in a cool house. For the florist conduct-
ing a retail trade, these Delphiniums are
as valuable as anything he carries, but
only comparatively few are grown as yet
comparetf with other plants not bringing
nearly the returns. The florist with a
greenhouse has the advantage over those
who have to sow the seed during Spring
or Summer outdoors; by sowing now, he
gets flowering stock the first season, which
is not possible otherwise. Dephiniums
thrive in good soil, yet you are better
off not to have too much manure in it.
Rather pay more attention to cultivation
in order to keep your stock healthy. I
have talked a great deal about these splen-
did perennials and each year appreci-
ate them more. The present is the time
to get busy.

Columbines

But few florists realize, as yet, that
the Aquilegias or Columbines adapt
themselves nicely for late Spring forcing.
They can be planted out on a solid bed
or grown in pots. Field grown stock car-
ried over in a frame, lifted about March
1, and allowed to come along in a 40 or
50 degree house, will flower during the
end of April and early May. Their
flowers are very useful for table decora-
tions and their own foliage makes the
best green to go with them. You can't
have too much of an assortment of cut
flowers during Spring; for that matter
at any time of the year, and there is
nothing requiring less care, or is easier
to grow than these Coltmibines, nor will

you have any diflaculty in disposing of
the flowers. If you have no stock on
hand and wish to give them a fair trial,
seed can be sown now and the little
plants treated the same as the hardy
Delphiniums. Among desirable sorts, none
are finer than the long spurred hybrids
or you can purchase quite a few in sepa-
rate colors. For a good yellow select
Chrysantha; crerulea is blue and white
and nivea grandiflora pure white. Ail are
good, and in the hardy border, they are
among the first to flower in early Sum-
mer, while their adiantumlike foliage stays
until Fall.

Gailiardias

While Gailiardias produce best results
in a fairly rich soil, they will thrive and
do well in the stiffest of clay and can
get along without water better than al-
most any other perennial I know. During
a hot, dry Summer, when everything else
faded away and almost perished, I have
seen Gailiardias keep right on growing
and flowering, but of course, if you want
long stems and extra large flowers for
cutting treat them well; they will repay
you. The Gailiardias, like the Delphini-
ums and Columbines, are among the de-
sirable perennials for the florist to handle;
they flower all Summer until the snow
flies, and you cau always dispose of field
grown plants during Spring and Fall. If
you want flowering plants for the coming
Summer, sow out seed about the middle
of February, transplant the seedlings into
flats, allowing about 2 in. of space be-
tween them ; they can remain in these
flats until you are ready to plant them
in the field, which will be around the
middle of May. These plants will be good
for several years and while you can lift
them and divide in order to increase
your stock, an easier way is to grow
from seed. There seems to be more life
in such plants.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Holland Bulbs

One cannot help wondering whether
the writer of the Holland Notes, Dec.
25, had secured the facts regarding the
bulb supply of the season, 1920.

Granting that Germany did not buy its
normal supply, the fact that huge ship-
ments of bulbs at much reduced prices
were received here after the first deliv-
eries, did not suggest a great shortage.
Moreover, readers of The Exchange
were acquainted with the fact that
swarms of Holland travelers had flocked
into England in the late Fall, while bulbs
were dumped for auction sales in aU di-
rections. When supplies are short, such
things don't usually happen. Even as
late as Dec, 15, English bulb merchants
were offering Hyacinths, DafEodils and
Tulips at prices about half what one
could buy here, and goodness knows how
much below the Spring, 1920, figures.
I am particularly tickled by the naive
remark : "The fact that your florists and
seedsmen received such fine big bulbs,
shows that our growers delivered their
mother bulbs which should bring the
bulblets for following years."

Tut, tut I J. B., the sale of mother bulbs
can create no shortage next year and,
after all, there is something akin to "eye
wash" connected with socalled mother
bulbs. A big bumping Tulip often gives,
nay, invariably gives, an inferior flower,
and big pot-bellied Daffodils give no more
flowers and no more offsets than smaller
ones, unless they are double nosed. As
for Hyacinths, big bulbs are not planted
for offsets ; the latter can be "manufac-
tured'* on the greenhouse stage from any
average bulb. No, No, J. B., weep not
for the mother bulbs that have come to
these hospitable shores. Most recipients
paid all they were worth and maybe a bit

The good word J. B. puts in for Nar-
cissus -Firebrand is fully deserved. It
was introduced in England some years
ago and before the war retailed at less
than $1 a dozen. It is classed as a Bar-
ri bicolor. The perianth opens sulphur
and fades to pure white. The cup is ex-
ceptionally deep scarlet.

It may be mentioned here that the Hol-
land bulb salesmen are already arriving
in force. At least a score, independent of
those resident here, had arrived before
Christmas, and a score or more were
afloat en route. Calculate, too, that an-
other crowd is storming the Britishers
who don't even put a tariff on bulbs, and
we may estimate what the estimated bulb
shortage of Holland will be if they har-
vest only an average crop. Should the
harvest be above the average, Oh, my,
oh, my !

Delphiniums for Pots

Seeing how important the tall hardy
Delphinium has become as a forcing sub-
ject, why not consider the dwarf Blue
Butterfly type as a pot plant. It is many
years since Carter & Co. introduced this
striking form, which, as far as I can
recollect, was first shown as a pot plant.
The great Spring shows of the R. H. S.
have in the past done much to induce the
seed and plant concerns of Europe to
force annuals and perennials into flower
weeks before their natural period, but
for florists or cut flower purposes, such
subjects have never attracted attention ;
indeed, it is questionable whether Delphin-
iums would ever pay their way as a
late Winter or Spring flower for the
market.

Having in recent years, however, estab-
lished itself in our markets, there is every
reason for assuming that the dwarf form
would pay as a pot plant. While usually
treated as an annual, it can be grown
as a biennial by sowing in July, In
England, -so treated, it survives the Win-
ter, but carried along in pots and gently
forced, it should flower before the Win-
ter is through. As a Summer subject, I
have grown excellent plants in 4in. and

5in, pots. It may be mentioned that there
is a greatly improved form of Blue But-
terfly named Blue Gem, the color being as
clear as the Gentian. The pale blue
Azure Fairy is an excellent companion.
While on the subject, why not try out
the native red species cardinalis and
nudicaule? As outdoor subjects they
have never proved a success — possibly in
California they are good — but it is prob-
able that as pot plants they would prove
popular. By the way, why haven't some
of the plant wizards and miracle men
worked the red Delphiniums on to the
tall blue? I believe all efforts in Europe
have failed, so the field is open.

Holidays

There will be only 88 days, exclusive of
Sundays, during the years 1921, when a
holiday of some sort is not being cele-
brated. Now don't be alarmed ; this
statement relates to the entire world.
Turkey beats the crowd by devoting 26
days to holidays. Scotland, the land of
canny people, is satisfied with five. Judg-
ing by the way some concerns neglect to
answer inquiries, one might well assume
that they are always having a holiday. On
several occasions of late, seeing an ad re-
lating to garden or poultry materials, I
have applied for a list or other informa-
tion, but nothing doing. Perhaps they are
suspicious of the fellow who wants to
know more than en ad tells.

Kestricted Immigration

A hill to prohibit immigration for a
period of five years is being considered.
This bill exempts only Government of-
ficials, travelers for business or pleasure,
students and professional persons. One
assumes that the promoter of the bUl
is able to explain where the working per-
son ceases and the professional person be-
gins. We like to consider horticulture as
a profession, and we do not doubt but
that there are plenty of men skilled in
horticulture outside this country who,
from a professional point of view, are
more brainy than plenty of the folk that
come in under the professional class.

But while the latter might easily get
a passport, the skilled gardener would
probably be classed as a laborer unless
he happened to be a real bigwig. Such,
however, would probably have no desire
to come to America or at least he would
not be at all inclined to accept an ordi-
nary job. There are plenty of concerns,
and also private estates, who are con-
tinually hoping they may some time se-
cure some really reliable and efficient
workers with a knowledge that puts them
above the ordinary laboring class — men
skilled enough to know how to do things
without being watched, and interested
enough in their work to take a pride in
it without at once assuming that they,
and not the boss, are running the show.

Not so long since a big estate superin-
tendent remarked to me that if he could
only flnd them, he would start, he would
start right away a half dozen real work-
ers who possessed some knowledge and
the ability to speak and understand plain
English. In the meantime he. doubtless
like many others, has to be content with
hands who have no more interest in plants
than they have in concrete, less in fact,
for when the Spring comes such labor
can make more on concrete work, and
therefore becomes minus.

One may perhaps console himself with
the knowledge that the horticultural col-
leges are turning out home made (native)
workers, but are these students likdy
to be satisfied as just plain workers?
Likely as not they'll want to be foremen
or bosses. Certainly I have met but one
horticultural college pupil who was just
one of the plain staff in a garden for a
living, and this worker was a woman.
All the gardeners and nursery workers
that I have known, learned their busi-
ness either as apprentices, or through
just plain, practical everyday experience,
without the guidance of a college profes-
sor. Whatever becomes of the college
trained, they certainly don't enter the
craft as just staff workers, and when one
considers what a mixture is gathered to-
gether in some places, I don't blame
them.

Having a day free from the cares
of work and teaching, I ran down to this
city, 35 miles southeast of Auburn, to visit
the greenhouses of J. T. Keheley, and
found him just leaving for the hospital
with a very sick child. I perforce placed
myself under charge of the foreman and
proceeded to explore.

The establislunent consists of 28,500 feet
of glass, old style construction, except five
comparatively new houses devoted to
Roses, some 4,000 plants and Carnations,
about 7,000, on benches, mostly White En-
chantress and Enchantress Supreme and
C. W. Ward for a dark pink. Sweet Peas,
one small house, a general assortment oi
potted plants, and a number of Paper-
whites were in evidence. A good busi-
ness is done in filling local orders with a
large amount of funeral work, consisting
of about equal parts sprays and designs.
A good holiday trade was done, prices
ranging from $4.00 to §10.00 per doz. for
Poses, and $3.00 to §5.00 for Carnations.
He raises everything he sells, his supply
equaling the demand.

This city of 40,000 people now has the
one establishment, having absorbed the
greenhouses formerly owned by the Street
Railway Co. As it is some distance from
the business center it seemed to the

The nematode menace here, as in nearly
the entire South, is a source of much con-
cern and it seems to be spreading. Ex-
periments are being tried in the several
stations, but so far, have not achieved
any satisfactory results outside of using
steam, and it is not every florist that
has it available. W. C. Cook.

KB1SSUMING that the laml-
nW scape architect is governed
IfaMl hy liis client, the ftarden
owner, in the general selection
01 plants for his place, it is
safe to concede that the desire for
evergreens on the lioine grounds
will be most pronounced When-
ever one sees a new place in course
of development, there you will in-
variably find evergreens greatly
in evidence.

While first consideration is given (and
rightly so) to trees that will afford shade in
reasonable time, and so make the grounds a
pleasant retreat, softening also as soon as
possible the hard lines of the house yet. with-
out the presence of evergreens, the grounds
seem incomplete.

The popularity of these plants is but nat-
ural when we consider the many charms they
possess in form and color. How beautiful
ihey are and what rich tints they afford when
each is making the new growth in Spring 1
"While w'e acknowledge their beauty in the
Spring, it is in Winter that we appreciate
them most. when, in contrast with deciduous
trees, they stand out so prominently. Then
it is they render a cosy look to bleak situa-
tions and give life and cheer to an otherwise
apparently lifeless landscape.

It is hard in the matter of selection for
lawns of limited dimensions ,to choose any
one kind as better than another'. The first
consideration should be whether or not our
choice will be suited to the existing condi-
tions, as to soil, aspect, etc. There is no
greater or more common mistake made than
that of planting just the wrong things in the
wrong places.

One may be charmed with the Nordmann's
Fir or the Cedar of Lebanon, yet it would be
folly to plant either of them in a dry and
exposed position where they could not obtain
sufficient moisture and where they would be
whipped out of all recognition by blasting
winds. Selection, therefore, should be based
on the principle of having what you plant
thrive and prosper, rather than the common
error of indiscriminately selecting something
one has seen in splendid form under entirely
different conditions.

If favorably situated, and other conditions
are equally favorable, by all means let us
plant the choicest we can secure, but if con-
ditions are adverse, let us be content, at least
for awhile, to use kinds which though com-
mon, are much more hardy, and will eventu-
ally afford the desired shelter for the more
choice varieties.

In making a selection for solitaire planting
on lawns one should, we think, give prefer-
ence to those that retain their lower branches
with that sweeping grace to the ground leve'.
Nothing looks so bad as a single specimen
evergreen occupying a prominent position,
the lower branches of which are either
marred or entirely missing. Such a tree is
lacking one of its chief charms, the loss
of which cannot be redeemed.

The following list will chiefly comprise those that
have been thoroughly tested in this latitude and have
proven satisfactory.

The Firs

These are distinctly trees for specimen planting and
should always be given good space to develop their
proportions to the fullest extent.

The Nordmann's Fir (Abies Nordinauniaiia) will
ever remain a favorite with all. because of its striking
dark green foliage, and the beautiful proportions it as-
sumes at maturity. For lawns of large size it is indis-
pensable, but wise discretion should be used in selecting
a position that is naturally sheltered from high winds,
otherwise much damage is done to its foliage in Winter.

Abies cilicica is another Fir of real merit. It resem-
bles the Nordmann in general appearance, but is per-
little stiffer. The leaves are narrower and more

The Call for Evergreens for Specimen Planting

By EDWIN MATTHEWS

There are some bold enough to assert that deciduous trees and shrubs are in disfavor among
h( me planters, but while we cannot agree with th s class on that point, the fact remains that ever-
greens are the favorites for many landscape purposes. The accompanying comparative notes on some
of our most worthy conifers should prove helpful to those who are called upon to plant evergreens.

9c:

haps

Pseudotsuga Douglasii

This most satisfactory tree finds favor with everyone acquainted with it. It excels
finement and grace the majority of the Firs on account of its soft, pleasing foliage;
lifetime it becomes a tree of great stature.

harsh to the touch. It is, decidedly, a fine hardy kind.
Beautiful also are the wide glaucous needles of the
"Concolor Fir (Abies concolor). It is not so commonly
planted as others, chiefly because it is not so well known,
jet none of the Firs or even the Spruces have stood the
extremes of our Northern climate better than this West-
ern evergreen. A real specimen 25ft. to 30ft. high, as is
sometimes seen, is a delight to the eye. The Douglas
Fir (Pseudotsuga Douglasii) is a most satisfactory tree
and finds favor with everyone acquainted with it. It
excels in refinement and grace the preceding kinds men-
tioned on account of its soft, pleasing foliage. Of fairly
rapid growth, it makes a tree of good size in ten or fif-
teen years, and in a lifetime becomes a tree of great
stature.

The Spruces

Beautiful trees are the Spruces whether in the forest

or on the home grounds, and they
fill a most important position, in
furnishing luaterial for landscape
effects. From the several species
and varieties available, the follow-
mg are commendable and suitable
for either solitaire planting, or for
more extensive groups and masses.
Picea excelsa, or Norway
Spruce, will probably be placed in
the common class by many, yet the
fact that it is in common use will
prove its desirability. One of the hardiest
of evergreens, of rapid growth, and less ex-
acting in its requirements, it fills a place where
others would prove a failure. It makes a
noble looking tree under right good care, at-
taining a height of 50ft. and over, in very
much less than a lifetime. Its chief enemy,
red spider, does more to stunt its growth and
mar its beauty than anything else. There are
two weeping forms of it, Picea inverta and
Picea pendula, that suggest themselves for
some positions very nicely. As a contrast to
other evergreens of stiffer habit they are well
used.

Undoubtedly, the most popular of the
Spruces is the Colorado Blue Spruce (.Picea
pungens glauca). It is the picture of elegance
in June when it clothes itself with new
growth, which gives the plant a silvery sheen
not duplicated by any other evergreen. In
Winter it assumes a more subdued blue, but
it is, nevertheless, a conspicuous contrast to
the dark green kinds. Experience has proven
a Blue Spruce able to stand the heat of our
Summers better than most evergreens. This
fact is sustained no doubt by the theory that
light colors do not absorb heat like the darker
shades. We should, however, watch that the
red spider does not gain a foothold during
hot dry weather, for if not checked, it saps
the life of the tree, and it consequently loses
that bright color which it is natural for a
healthy tree to have. To eradicate this pest,
spray with whale oil soap in the proportion
of three ounces to one gallon of water. Three
applications two weeks apart will be effica-
cious. A strong force of water from the
garden hose, in hot weather is a great help
in keeping the plant free of this pest.

The Tiger-tail Spruce (Picea polita). a
Japanese species, has an individuality that
marks it distinct froin other Spruces. Its
leaves, which are very rigid, completely sur-
round the stem and have a yellow cast. It
is rather a slow grower and would be found
useful for small grounds.

For neatness of habit and beauty of form
none can surpass the Oriental Spruce (Picea
orientalis). Its glossy green foliage is very
persistent and, best of all, it retains its slender
branches to the ground level better than most
Spruces. Like P. polita it is not a rapid
grower and thus where a specimen is wanted
for a limited space, this striking tree can be
brought into good use.

Picea Engelmanni is perhaps the closest
rival to the Blue Spruce and hails from the
same region. Its color is not so pronounced
nor is the tree so well known. It has, however, the ad-
vantage of having more careless grace, its foliage and
general appearance being not so rigid.

While not a true Spruce, the Hemlock Spruce (Tsuga
canadensis), will, for convenience sake, be included here.
No other evergreen we think can outshine the Hemlock
for pleasing form and outline. In this tribute we include
both the common Hemlock. Tsuga canadensis, and the
less common one, Tsuga caroliniana. With what beauty
it clothes itself in tender, pale green, new growth in
Spring, which by Winter will have assumed a much
darker hue. It is then, whether we see them in groves
or as solitary specimens, that the true worth of the tree
is appreciated. How beautiful they appear after a
snowstorm when the sweeping branches hold in their
folds, the wreaths of snow, or when the pendant branch-
lets are tipped with icicles. A valuable point in its

Newport (R. I.) is preparing to create a war me-
morial, the plan calling for a public park upon the
highest point of which a monument is to be erected to
the memory of the men who made the supreme sacrifice
in the World War.

Encouraging reports are reaching us as to the practi-
cal adaptability of obtaining the American Legion's
choice of the red Poppy for Memorial Day — see article
elsewhere. Florists should not only grow the red Poppy
so as to be in line for Memorial Day business from the
veterans of the World War, but they must, as well,
make known the fact that they are preparing this stock.
with the reason why, bearing in mind always that people
at large don't know unless they are told and told over
and over again.

The erstwhile Florists Association of Boston has
taken a step that is justified by its present importance
and that opens the door to still greater growth and
achievement in changing its name to "The New England
Florist Association." There is a happy association of
ideas in the names Boston and New England, so while
the new title will tend to bring a great many more mem-
bers of the trade into the fold, it will in no way lessen
the interest or prestige or opportunity of those whose
activities are restricted to the city of the Sacred Cod-
fish. Good-luck to the new organization, that also is
old, and to its newly installed officers, and to its new
members already enrolled and still to come.

Referring to this latest crop of discussions and opin-
ions as to artificial flowers, isn't there, after all, one
commcn ground on which we all agree, a foundation of
definition, so to speak? We would express it this way:
The use of an object or a material is entirely legitimate
so long as the intention is not to deceive by making the
purchaser think it is something else. On this basis, tin
wreaths and velvet flowers are entirely permissible
when sold as hardware or drygoods in shops that han-
dle such goods. So presented, no buyer would be mis-
led into thinking them floral decorations, nor, do we
think, would many folks buy them as such. As far as
prepared natural foliage, dried immortelles and the like
are concerned, they are true plant materials, they grew
and were harvested; they are logically horticultural
products. For the cobbler, his last; for the tinsmith,
tin wreaths if he wants to handle them; for the sta-
tioner and the white goods trade, paper and cloth flowers
respectively; — and for the florist, God's own, living
flowers !

The Rise of the Cyclamen

One of the most valuable and interesting horticul-
tural books that could be written, would be one dealing
with the history and development of the various flowers
which are collectively known as florist's flowers.

These embrace hard and soft wooded plants, and in-
door and outdoor flowers. Glancing through the list
of plants propagated either from seeds or cuttings by
florists, one cannot but wonder who has been respon-
sible for their development. We know full well that
few were found in a state of nature equal to what they
are today. We know that many of them are the result
of hybridization, others the result of careful selection,
according to an ideal. Some no doubt have been the
result of one man's patient endeavor, others represent
the work of many.

The more knowledge we possess as growers, the more
we are able to realize that these various flowers are
not the outcome of a few years' work. We picture the
tiny single Chry^santhemum indicum, and realize that
ages must have passed before it came to be the wonder-
ful flower it is today. The China Aster, too — nearly
300 years have elapsed since it arrived in Europe.
Today we see only the result ; who knows what time
and labor were spent upon it to make it a flower worthy
of our attention. We take these various flowers today
and select seed from them and are apt to imagine we
have accomplished a great thing if a new variety re-
sults.

If we were believers in the existence of the spirit
world we should expect to hear the chuckles of the old
workers, long since gone, at the little conceits we mav
display when we raise something unusual, without giv-
ing a thought to what had been done in the past to make
possible the wonders of todai^

Every florist's flower is a monument to the work of
men or women who spent their years in doing some-
thing toward making the world more beautiful. A com-
plete record of such work may never be gathered under
one cover, the data would entail the searching of all
the great horticultural libraries of the world, and then.
perhaps, it would be incomplete, because some of the
work done in the past may never have been recorded.

We are pleased to be able to announce that we have
in hand an article written by one who knows his sub-
ject, recording some of the experiences of a grower who
for fifty years has lived among and largely for Cycla-
men. This interesting record will shortly appear in
these columns. It describes the patient work of one
man on the behalf of his firm; his triumphs and his
setbacks. Animated by high ideals, he has ignored
pomp and ceremony, content to work in modest seclu-
sion. To the world at large he is unknown, only a few
members of the trade being familiar with the patient
work he has put in among Cyclamen. Primulas, Schi-
zanthus and Calceolarias. Primulas, however, no longer
hold his attention. Aided by long experience, claiming
no scientific knowledge, he has worked on, the nestor
of the Cyclamen world.

Ladies' Society of American Florists

Mrs. George Asmus, president of the Ladies' Society
of American Florists, has appointed the following di-
rectors to serve for a period of two years: Mrs. Jos.
Manda. N. J.; Mrs. Theo. Wirth, Minn.; Mrs. Philip
Breitmeyer, Mich.

Mrs. Albert M. Herr. Sec'y.

Society of American Florists

President Thomas Roland authorizes the call for a
meeting of the executive board of this society, at the
New Willard Hotel, Washington, Jan. 24 and 25, 1921.

George Asmus. chairman of the National Flower
Show committee, has called a meeting of his committee,
to be held during the same week.

Henry Penn, chairman of the publicity committee,
has also summoned the members of his committee to
meet at the same time. As practically all of the mem-
bers of these committees would be in Washington dur-
ing the annual meeting and exhibition of the American
Carnation Society, it was considered advisable to hold
all of these meetings at the same time.

The true red Poppy of Europe must not be consid-
ered, its distribution being prohibited (because of its
obnoxious weedy character), but the red Shirley and
the species known as the Tulip Poppy, Papaver glati-
cum, afford a good substitute. The latter is perhaps
deeper in color than the Field Poppy, P. rhoeas, but it
has greater stamina than that species and its descen-
dants, the Shirley, being of the somnifera type with
large, smooth leaves and thick stems.

The flowers much resemble in color that wonderful
Tulip, gesneriana, and the height of the plant is not
above 2ft. There is always seed of this Poppy avail-
able; J. Bodger & Sons Co. of Los Angeles, Calif., raise
considerable quantities, and many seedsmen stock it.

We are of the belief that the American Legion's em-
blem might be accepted as embracing all Poppies, and
it is possible that many people who are familiar with
instability of the single flowers, would prefer the dou-
ble form. The variety Cardinal offers a rich deep red
and the habit of growth is similar to glaucum.

The question of handling the flowers is not a difficult
one. Cut just as the calyxes crack, lightly scorch the
stems where cut to seal the sap, and stand in water for
a few hours before shipping. Placed in a warm atmos-
phere later, the buds will fly open. Millions of Iceland
and perennial Poppies are handled by British florists in
May and June.

Why not make the most of the wonderful opportunity
now before us? The tremendous demand for Iceland
Poppies in Covent Garden has no sentiment behind it;
it is purely a flower for home decoration. Here we
have the strong voice of sentiment calling for Poppies
on Memorial Day. See to it that you are ready and,
in the meantime, keep the public aware of the fact that
May 30 is not only Memorial Day but Poppy Day also.

Inaugural Ceremonies Dropped

The tradesmen of Washington, D. C, have been hard
hit through the abandonment of the many spectacular
features which it was proposed to revive at the inaugu-
ration of President-elect Harding.

If the newspaper stories are to be believed, a certain
section of the business community of Washington is to
be held, in part, responsible for Mr. Harding's decision.
The daily press informs us that hotels charging ordi-
narily $4 per day for a room, were asking $40 per day;
that the price of meals was to be doubled, and it must
have been much on this account that oublic attention
was focused on the matter, fanned by opposition papers,
bringing about results announced.

That the inception of a president into oflice should be
accompanied by a certain amount of dignified display
is, we feel, endorsed by the great mass of our citizens.
To meet the criticism engendered by the talk of extrava-
gance the ceremonies are now to be reduced to the
least expensive form. That a sane middle course could
not have been pursued is indeed much to be regretted,
for all classes of trade in Washington will lose, and
among them, of course, the florists of that city, who
naturally looked for.ward with eagerness to what had
promised to be an occasion where flowers would form
one of the predominating features.

The Red Poppy for Memorial Day

AT this time it is fitting that we should again draw
attention to the fact that The American Legion
has adopted the red Poppy for its emblem, and
that the members and their friends, which means our
entire population, will be looking for red Poppy blooms
for Memorial Day.

It should not be at all difiicult for florists to provide
the ne^e^isary flowers ; one might hazard that the an-
nual Popny ran, in many sections, be flowered in the
open by the end of il y. ether from sowings m-ade last

A Floricultural Census

To Be Taken For and By the Trade

It is odd how ideas seem to coincide and every now
and then find themselves simultaneously striking the
same note or variations thereof. A few weeks ago we
commented on the request of an instructor in a Mid-
dle Western horticultural school for data as to the
scope of the florist industry here and abroad, explain-
ing that, much as we regretted it, we knew of no such
figures. Now comes a report of the meeting of the
New England (formerly the Boston) Florists Associa-
tion, as published in this week's Boston newsletter, at
which a proposal was made to secure from the local
growers and retailers just such facts, records and esti-
mates as would provide, for one small section, the sort
of information above referred to.

There, in brief, is the nucleus of a plan whereby the
floricultural facts and figures for the whole country may
gradually be accumulated, classified, and put in concise
form, to the immeasurable benefit and credit of the
industry. Let the country be divided into territorial
units of convenient size; give each division to some
recognized local florist organization; then let it be one
of the responsibilities of each organization to collect by
means of standardized questionnaires, the complete sta-
tistical information about the florist business in its dis-
trict. Let it, moreover, keep these data up to date and
submit to the S. A. F. or other central body a yearly
revision of the facts and figures. Individual returns,
secured by each secretary, could be treated confidentially
and only the totals for counties. States or other sub-
divisions given out.

By means of such a system not only the world in
general, but also the trade itself, would become apprised
of its size and importance. Dignity would be gained;
the respect and interest of all would be increased; and
facts would be at hand at all times upon which to base
claims as to taxation. Governmental regulation, etc.
Let's think about this.

An Appreciation — Henry F. C. Sander

The many American friends of Mr. Sander of St. Al-
bans, Herts., England, and Bruges, Belgium, will hear
with regret of his passing away, after an operation,
late in December at Bruges.

Mr. Sander was well known to the trade in America,
he having visited the States on a number of occasions.
His last visit was during the Winter of 1911..

Horticulture is indebted to Mr. Sander for many of
the good and valuable plants now in general commercial
use and which, under his able and enthusiastic direction,
were gathered by his collectors from all parts of the '
globe.

In the passing away of Mr. Sander, horticulture loses
another of its most noted workers whom it seems im-
possible to replace — a man of sterling character, mod-
est and kind-hearted, whom all who met felt happy to
know as a friend. J. D. Eisele

Tliu New York Flower Sliow will make its advciu
this year March 14 to 30. The latest reports from the
committees in charge are highly encouraging, the state-
ment having been made this week that the situation as
regards exhibits is lOO per cent better than it was at
this same period last year. Competitors have applied
for all four of the 1000 sq. ft. garden spaces— this of
itself means much. The applications for trade exhibi-
tion space continue to come in and, while there was
some depression noticeable a few weeks ago, today the
indications are that the sales of trade space will be
fully equal to those of previous years. The one thing
the trade at large is called upon to do, and that which
cxery member thereof should make it his personal en-
deavor to see done, is to promote the attendance
at the show through talking flower show, advertising
flower show, .and the sale of flower show tickets. A
combined effort on the part of the several thousatid
florists alone of the great city of New York would fill
to its uttermost capacity, day after day, the Grand
Central Palace. The flower show promotes business ;
no grower or retailer can evade that fact. If we want
success in the full, if we intend to merit it, we must
work for it. Let everyone take the pledge to boost the
show all in his power. The flower show will be su-
perior this year in quality of exhibits arid in arrange-
ment to that of former years, and this gives every one
of its friends a splendid talking point to work by.

Blue Hydrangeas

lidiliir The Florists' Exchange:

In Oak Hill Cemetery, Evansville, Ind., are a number
of Hydrangeas planted many years ago. They were
pink when planted, on the various lots.

It happens that at times the Winters are very mild,
and the buds that are set during the Summer season
are not injured during the following Winter.

When these plants flower, the blossoms are a beauti-
ful blue. The soil in which these plants are growing is
yellow clav, and has never had any special treatment.

If blue ' Hydrangeas can be produced by artificial
treatment, why is it that florists do not have them for
sale?

The writer does not remember such plants being of-
fered by the trade, but is often asked by amateurs how
to produce blue flowers. Wm. Halbrooks.

"Sunshine Makers"

Some things can be said only one way. But when
we read in an exchange that "When there is sunshine
in the soul, there will be fruit and flowers in the life,"
we are immediately impelled to assert that it is eqiially
true that "When there are fruit and flowers — especially
flowers — in life, there will be sunshine in the soul."
Sunshine makers, you florists, therefore, are nothing
more nor less than providers of spiritual sunshine with
all its healing and productive influences.

Sugar from Dahlias

Two bushels of Dahlia tubers were some time ago
sent to Prof. Richard F. Jackson. Associate Chemist,
Bureau of Fruit Products, Dept. of Agriculture, Wash-
ington, D. C, for experimental purposes. We are prom-
ised a report of the results later. It is said of the Dah-
lia that, like the Potato, it is filled with a starch which
may be converted chemically into a form of sugar; the
sugar extracted from the Potato is ordinary glucose
while that from the Dahlia tuber is called levulose or
fructose; this latter is said to be exceedingly sweet and
nutritious. Dahlia growers should keep an eye on the
prospects ahead for them. It is a well-known fact that
some varieties yield far larger and heavier tubers than
other varieties, but we daresay it will be up to the
chemist to experiment and ascertain just what kinds
will give the best results. A running study of the Dah-
lia fructose yield for some years will probably have
to be made in order to find the best varieties adapted —
just as had to be done in the case of the Sugar Beet.
Whether the Dahlia would yield a superior sugar (or
at less cost) to the Sugar Beet also remains to be
solved. Too, the relative cost of growing the Dahlia
as against the Beet would have to be figured out.

It is all quite interesting.

Chemistry of today offers greater openings for dis-
coveries in the economic world than perhaps any other
of the sciences ; who knows what may be in store for
the specialist?

Shipping Carnations Abroad

Is it possible to ship thoroughly established rooted
Carnations to Cairo, Egypt, either through parcels post
or by express? We use the words "thoroughly estab-
lished" because these young plants in order to stand
such a journey should be of a fairly good size. Vege-
tation, we are told, is at a standstill in Cairo from Nov.
15 to the end of February. This inquiry is sent us
through Albert Pochelon, secretary of the F. T. D. and
was received by him from an F. T. D. member in Cairo.
As we would like to have replies to this question for
publication in The Florists' Exchange we are with-
holding the name of the inquirer until we hear from a
Carnationist.

We are well aware that rooted Carnations have been
repeatedly sent to Great Britain with condition on re-
ceipt varying considerably; some shipments being opened
in a shriveled-up seven-eighths-dead condition, others
opening up perfectly fresh and healthy in every respect.
This affords proof that, granted the Carnations are of
equal quality when shipped, what follows their arrival
depends on the packing, always provided the cuttings
are not too long en route.

Carl Englemann of England informed us when here
last that quite a line with him was his shipment of
young Carnation plants to Brazil and South America —
a long journey. They survive the climate there but a
year or two, consequently shipments are being continu-
ally made.

F. S. Peterson

F. S. Peterson, well known in the seed trade, and
since 1913 connected with Alex. Forbes & Co., Newark,
N. J., died at his home at 310 Walnut st, Elizabeth,
n! J., on the afternoon of Jan. 11, after a brief illness.
He was 55 years old.

The late Henry F. C. Sander

From a photograph taken by Folk, New York, in 1900

Henry F. C. Sander

We regret to record the death of Henry F. C. San-
der on Dec. 33, 1930, at Bruges. Known the world over,
he was born in Bremen, in 1847. When quite a boy he
exhibited that love for plants which later found its out-
let in the famous nurseries he established at St. Albans,
England, and at Bruges, Belgium. In 1867 he entered
the nurseries of James Carter & Co., then at Forest
Hill, England, where he gained an insight into the var-
ied branches of their business. It was there that he
formed his first connection with orchids, for he met
Benedict RoezI, the famous explorer and plant collector.
Both had great love for all plants, and intense enthu-
siasm for the new, rare and beautiful in plant life. The
two collaborated: RoezI to collect and send orchids,
cacti, etc.. to Mr. Sander, who established himself soon
after in George St., St. Albans, as a seed merchant.
Here he received and disposed of them to their mutual
advantage. RoezI, with his consignments in the hands
of a trustworthy and shrewd business man, was en-
abled to send home huge consignments, so that Mr.
Sander soon realized he could no longer deal with or-
chids in the imported state alone. ' ,
In 1873, he built his first greenhouse, almost entirely

with his own hands. The business grew and when
Koezl retired his nephews continued the work of col-
lecting orchids. The George st. premises became too
small and in 1881 the orchids were removed to The
Camp, then just outside the town. There a most at-
tractive nursery, covering some 4;.i acres, was con-
structed, many of the greenhouses containing beautiful
rockwork full of orchids and other new and rare
plants.

Mr. Sander's tireless energy enabled him to employ
and guide a great number of collectors; at one time 23
were busy in different parts of the world. The demand
for orchids grew and for several years Mr. Sander had
regular orchid sales in London on four days in the
week. By sending his collectors to then unexplored
countries and districts, he was able to obtain a stream
of fine novelties, both orchids and general plants. Vanda
Sanderiana, ^Erides Sanderianum, Cattleya gigas San-
deriana, Cypripedium insigne Sanderse, Cymbidium San-
deri, Acalypha Sanderi, Dracaena Sanderiana and Nico-
tiana Sanderiana are commemorative of his enterprise.
These and the introduction in quantity of Dendrobium
phalsenopsis Schroderinum, Cattleya labiata vera, and
the discovery of Cattleya Schroder^, ■ gained him re-
nown in the horticultural world. He would not be dis-
heartened, and when the first consignment of the then
so valuable Dendrobium was burnt up in the sailing ves-
sel chartered for the purpose, he immediately cabled
the collector to go back and get more.

During those years, also, the hybridization of orchids
was begun and very successfully carried on at St. Al-
bans under his supervision.

In 1886 he published the Reichenbachia, a large de-
scriptive book on orchids in which life sized colored
illustrations were the main feature. The majority of
the paintings were made, and the lithographs super-
vised by the late H. G. Moon, his son-in-law, who first
met him in connection with this work. "Sander's Or-
chid Guide" and "Lists of Hybrid Orchids" are still
recognized as authoritative works.

Leaving the St. Albans business to some e.xtent in
charge of his manager, J. Godsefi, his abundant ener-
gies expressed themselves during the eighties in the
construction of an orchid nursery at Summit, N. J.
This was managed first by one of the collectors, Fos-
terman, and later by A. Dimmock, but eventually it
was found to be too far distant and the nursery was
acquired by Messrs. Lager & Hurrell, who carry it on
today.

In 1894, Mr. Sander started a new venture, founding
the nursery at St. Andre, just outside the ancient city
of Bruges in Belgium. This rapidly developed into an
extensive undertaking with over one hundred green-
houses devoted to the culture of palms, Azaleas and
other plants. Over thirty houses were devoted to or-
chids in which huge quantities of Cattleyas, Vandas,
and especially Phalasnopsis were grown while the breed-
ing of Odontoglossums was greatly extended. Some
30,000 Bay trees, from miniatures to giants of 25ft.
were also grown, and their quality was a keen delight
to Mr. Sander, who often pointed with pride to some
splendid examples trained by himself. It was he also
who devised the new shape which he called the Imperial
standard.

Enthusiastic in all his undertakings, and a constant
exhibitor at the leading horticultural shows in Europe
and America, his name obtained a worldwide reputation.
Mr. Sander was an original holder of the Victoria
Medal of Honor in horticulture and of several foreign
orders, including that of The Crown of Belgium. His
firm won the French President's Prix d'Honneur in
Paris, the Veitchian Cup in 1906, the Coronation Chal-
lenge Cup in 1906, and 41 gold medals, 24 silver, cups
and many hundreds of other medals and diplomas. In
the year 1900, at the S. A. F. convention in August,
Mr. Sander presented a beautifully engraved silver cup
which was won by Julius Roehrs of Rutherford, N. J.
"for the most creditable exhibits in the trade exhibi-
tion."

The war brought to Mr. Sander intense anxiety, not
only because of the members of his family out in
France, but because the nursery he had founded and
built with such infinite care and labor quickly passed
into the enemy's hands and he never knew for many
months whether it was destroyed or sequestered. He
had the satisfaction of returning there after the war, to
find a good deal saved, thanks to the efforts of his
manager, Mr. Mellstrom, who staved off the sequestra-
tion until just too late in September 1917 to carry it
through.

In order to be able to devote himself the more ener-
getically to the care of his sick wife, Mr. Sander at
last decided to undergo the operation long advised by
his doctor and specialists. Though successful, his iron
constitution could not stand the shock and he passed
away peacefully during a sudden relapse on Dec. 23,
1920. His death took place in a nursing home in
Bruges. His remains were taken to England and in-
terred in the cemetery at St. Albans on Dec. 30. He
leaves a widow, a daughter and three sons. The latter
have been active partners in the business since 1902,
and will continue to uphold the firm's reputation.

The Florists' Exchange

I

Notable Birthday Party

We wonder at times if the florists of the country take
a justifiable pride in the fact of their possessing at
Washington, D. C, a gentleman, one of themselves, a
selfmade man, who, on account of his unselfish devo-
tion to the industry in which they themselves are en-
gaged, has probably done more for their benefit than
any other one man whose name could be mentioned.

We refer to Wm. F. Gude who, first and foremost,
is the Washington representative of the S. A. F. and
O. H. but, beyond that, the one man at the Capital who
never hesitates in assisting to the utmost of his endeav-
ors any brother florist who comes to him in trouble.

Recently Mr. Gude had a birthday party and he should
be justifiably proud that it was probably attended by
more prominent nationally known gentlemen than any
other birthday party ever held by a florist. The guests
assembled at 1.15 p.m. and at 1.30 p.m. sat down to the
luncheon prepared for them. From all accounts we are
given to understand that they all enjoyed themselves to
the fullest. It was a red letter day for everyone who
attended, made all the more so through the social inti-
macy, tact and standing of the host himself.

Readers will know, especially members of the S. A. F.
and O. H., that its Washington representative is still on
the job and alert to the duties of his position. The
gathering here referred to evidences his standing among
many of the notables of our legislators as well as the
big public men of Washington and nearby.

Barnhart's California Observations

While the lover of nature is oftentimes
stirred to the depths by the scenes laid out
before him by Dame Nature, few are gifted
with the ability to convey in words the im-
pressions created on their minds. Our old
and esteemed friend, P. D. Barnhart, in
sending us and our readers cordial greetings
for the New Year, endeavors to picture the
beauties of Mountain View

I HAVE just gotten home from the Mountain View
ranch of J. M. Danziger, and shall at this time
give you some of the impressions made on my
mind during the week just closed.

The highway, most of the way, is as tortuous as the
letter S, indeed there is one stretch of the way which
is a double S, and that, too, within one mile length, and
ascending one hundred feet in that distance-
Mountain Vegetation

It may interest you to know of the vegetation grow-
ing along that road, which attains an elevation of 4200ft.
Up to about 3000ft., Wild Buckwheat-Eriogonum of
several species. Of the Sage family, the blue and the
white predominate; Audibertia was the original name
applied to the shrubby species, but now they are known
as Ramona. A crimson species, herbaceous, grows only
on the north side of hills, then there is the annual blue
sort, known as Salvia columbariae, at the 4000ft. level.

At this elevation is the sure enough Tree Poppy —
Dendi omicon rigid uiii — in the greatest abundance. I
have yet to meet a gardener who could sprout a seed
of this plant. When brought to near sea level it is more
luxuriant and more floriferous, but it is one plant which
is sure to die if given water during the rainless season
of the year. Yellow Bleeding Heart also flourishes at
this altitude, and the wonderful Manzanita, Arctosta-
phylos, in several species, yet so nearly alike in appear-
ance that only a keen botanist is able to distinguish one
from the other. Then, too, there are two yellow species
of the compositse, which make the mountains glow with
warmth of color during the last three months of the
year.

Assisting^Nature

For Mr. Danziger I am sowing both sides of that
highway with native flower seeds of such as are not yet
found growing there. One hundred pounds of Cali-
fornia Poppy seeds — I am glad that the correct botani-

cal name. E chscholtzia, is never used when this gem is
spoken of on this coast. I found an ideal location for
the queen of all annuals, Salvia cardtmcea. known as
Thistle Sage, and rightly so, because it is so well pro-
vided with prickles that no animal ventures to browse
upon it; seed collectors alwaj's use leather gloves.
True, the flowers are not as spectacular as the Poppy
and California Blue Bells, but a field of them is very
showy. The white fringed lips of the corolla, and the
orange colored anthers blend with the light lavender
color of the corolla most exquisitely. No use for an
Eastern gardener to try this plant. I sent the Dreer
people seeds three consecutive years for trial, and it
was a failure with them. This plant and its near rela-
tive, S. columbariae, are known to the aborigines as
"Chia" and it is from the seeds of both that meal is
made, also a mucilaginous beverage, wholesome and
nourishing, if these are steeped in water several hours.

Other Beauties of the Highway

Travelers along that highway should know the man
of large means, and a larger heart for flowers and for
trees, to whom they are indebted for the panorama of
beauty as it unfolds itself at every turn of the way.
Clarkia elegans, California Blue Bells, Phacclia whit-
lavia; Baby Blue E\'e5, Kemophila insignis; Innocence,
CoUiusia bicolor. I have often wondered who it was
that bestowed upon this latter plant its beautiful com-
mon name.

A perennial Snapdragon is also found occasionallv.
The foliage of this plant is very viscid, hence the speci-
fic name, glandulosum, and. while the flowers are small,
they are a pretty rose color. I shall see if this plant
will break away from the type and give us larger bloom
The foliage is the darkest colored of any perennial
evergreen plant growing wild in this part of the State.
The Prickly Poppy is another subject which flourishes
in the high altitudes ; Argemone spinosa is the proper
name. No one should be led to think that it is at all
comparable in beauty to the stately Matilija Poppy,
Romneya Coulteri. for that is the Queen of the Poppy
family and without a peer for loveliness and beauty.
Strange as it may seem, this subject is not found any-
where along that wonderful highway. I shall see tn
it that a goodly quantity of seed is strewn along the
way that coming generations will be able to see \\hat
the first gardener planted in the arid sections of this
State to enhance its beauty. Moreover, it is perennial,
while the prickly species is an annual.
Cherry Experiments

I have planted about a peck of seeds of our evergreen
Cherry. Pniniis iUcifoJia. the most beautiful of our
evergreen trees, the live Oak not excepted. This is tn

bt an experiment to determine whether it is possible to
use it as a stock for Plum and Cherry trees. No one
seems to have thought of trying it out If the standard
varieties of Plum and Cherry will unite with this sub-
ject, then we shall have a root system which is wonder-
fully resistant to drought. It may be the means of
growing these desirable fruits with much less water
than is now possible.
Beauty from Afar

The weather for the w^eek just ended was ideal for
comfort; clear, cool and crisp, without frost until last
night when there was a light one. The kaleidoscopic
scenes in these mountains were something wonderful.
We happen to be on the aerial mail route between this
old town and San Francisco, and about noon the air-
plane passes our way. To the north of the ranch, about
twenty miles, is a mountain about 6000ft. high and it
was covered with a white fog, appearing as if capped
with snow and that, too, for miles in every direction ;
\\hile where I was, the sky was clear as crystal, making
the plane easily visible.

To crown the enchanting scenes of this day the lov-
ing Heavenly Father, the Master Artist of the ages, put
those mountains and hills to sleep beneath a great blan-
ket which, to all appearances, was made of eiderdown
of ivory whiteness. Fogs have I seen aplentj', but
never before any that were so fleecy, while the peaks of
the mountains and the tops of the little hills appeared
like the heads of tired children above a covering so
ethereal, so beautiful, that the day and the year closed
in a scene of splendor indescribable.

Aphis Resistant Apple Stocks

John Watson of Princeton, N. J., writes entertainingly I
in the N.ational Nurseryman regarding "Aphis Resist- |
ant Apple Stocks." The importance of this class of *
stock, i. e.. Northern Spy is, he says, "so great that
eventually California will use nothing else." This stock
is wholly used in Australia and it is being taken up
largely in England. So positive are Australian grow-
ers regarding the immunity of Northern Spy that any
failure recorded is, they say "due to one cause only,
untrue stock."

were still coming in, an additional 130,000 were being
printed. The report of Mr, Herrington was warmly
accepted.

New Members

The nominations submitted at the December meeting
were, on the proposition of C. W. Knight, elected en
bloc. They were: Wm. Sullivan, George Sullivan,
Jack Bracker, Philip Decker, John H. Rodman, Bruno
Ehrman, Otto C. Krest, Hyman Spitz; Arthur Poulas,
Cornelius J. Spcelnian and Peter Mantgoras. Only J.
Bracker and Philip Decker were present to answer the
invitation for the call from the chair; each expressed
his pleasure in being elected.

Life Membership

Secretary Young announced that their president's de-
sire to see a large increase in life members was being
gratified that evening. In addition to the name of the
president, he was pleased to record that W. H. Sie-
brecht, Jr., and Roman J. Irwin had also given in their
names, while he had the promise of one other.

Nominations for Membership

The following were nominated for membership ; Ar-
thur R. Addy, 808 Leno.x rd., Flatbush, N. Y, ; Allen W.
Edminster, 174 Emerson place, Brooklyn; Wm. M. Mc-
Leod, Roslyn, N. Y. ; and Bernard Rynveld, 61 Vesey
St., New York.

Publicity Drive in Cliicago

Secretary Young read a letter received from the
Florists' Publicity Service Bureau of Chicago, and e.x-
hibited a broadside sheet which had been sent out to
some 5000 retail florists. This broadside described and
illustrated the various folders, posterettes, stamps, post-

ers and newspaper cuts which the bureau was offering
for the use of florists, with a view to boosting the trade
in flowers for St. Valentine's Day, The advantage of
group buying was pointed out, as the folders, etc., could
be oflfered at lower rates collectively than when bought
by indi\iduals.

The Annual Banquet

Following the recess, Vice-President Irwin stated
that he had that day made some inquiries regarding a
banquet. Assuming the members desired the function,
the cost of same would be much the same as last year;
but he himself considered that it should be self-support*
ing and not entail a large expenditure from the club
funds. He quoted some figures relating to the prob-
able cost, after which he moved that the banquet be
held during the show week. When put to the vote,
this was agreed to. Considerable discussion followed
regarding the best and most suitable day to hold this
banquet, but, in the end, it was decided that the details
should be left to the committee.

Committees for 1921

President Hendrickson announced that he had se-
lected the following members for the various com-
mittees during the coming year. He looked forward
to their doing the club as great a service as had any
committees in the past. One new committee he had
ventured to add, namely, "The Good of the Clnb." They
are as follows :

Awards. — Charles W. Knight, chairman; 'Wm. H. Siebreoht,
Peter Du£f, Joseph Manda, Arthur Herrington, Frank H.
Traendly, Charles H. Totty.

Exhibition. — I. Fight, chairman; Edw. A. Manda, Carl
Giessler, M. Matheron, A. Sohultheis, Jr.

Essay and Lecture. — Max Schling, chairman ; A. F. Faulk-
ner, C. Lowther.

Legislative. — Wm. A. Siebreoht, Jr., chairman; F. H. Pier-
son, A. L. Miller.

Publicity. — J. H. Pepper, chairman; Wm. A. Phillips, Leo
Klein.

House and Entertainment. — Peter Gerlaird, chairman:
Edw, A. Hanft, A. Radice, Leo Klein, Frank Golsner.

"Good of the Club" — A. T. De La Mare, chairman; Emil
Schloaa, J. H. Fiesser, Julius Roelirs, Charles Schwake.

Transportation. — C. Lowther, chairman.

Annual Banquet. — Roman J. Irwin, chairman: Phillip Kes-
sler, Joseph Fenrich, Robert Koehne, L. E. Dupuy, Percy B.
Rigby, Charles Schenck.

The 1920 Flower Show Committee, consisting of C. H.
Totty, Frank H. Traendly, Wallace R. Pierson, John Young,
Max Schling, A. L. Miller, W. D. Duckham and A. M. Hen-
shaw, will continue office until after the show.

Awards Committee

Only two exhibits were staged, as follows; Sweet Pea Miss
Jennie Mamitsch, shown by Herman Mamitsch, Rockville
Center, L. I. "This is a striking pink shading off to deepest
pink. Of peculiar formation and wonderfully ^'igorous, it
arose as a sport from Rose Queen some three years ago.
From the onset it has proved practically true and a fair stock
is being grown this season. The build of the flower is such ae
we have seen only on rare occasions among the late or Summer
flowering type, and sticklers for exhibition form might object
to its rugged outline which is neither true Spencer, Unwin or
grandiflora type. The standard is large and wav>', the winge
being almost as large. These, instead of partially covering
the keel, stand out practicaUy at right angles much after the
style of the old time Golden Gate. The keel is midway be-
tween the clamp and open type, suggesting it might be a good
seeder. All in all, a striking novelty, wonderfully strong,
yielding four flowers freely on stems 18in. and upward. It
scored 85 points and was awarded a preliminary certificate.
Carnation Arabella, shown by Roman J. Irwin for the
raisers, Boundbrook Nurseries, Boundbrook, N. J. A striking
color under artificial hght, being deep rosy salmon.k Of more
rugged form than many of the present day favorites; calyx
and stem very good. "W'hile it failed to score sufficient pointB
to gain a certificate one deduced that it might prove a greater
producer during the dull months than many possessing more
perfect form.

The meeting adjourned at 10 p.m.

Chicago Florists' Club

(Continued from page 119)

and central organization that comprises all of the trades
within the scope of floriculture. It seemingly indicates
a commercial organization whose purpose is often
amusement, w^hereas in reality this organization was
created mainly for business. It was to be the one or-
ganization for true and practical commercial coopera-
tion; it was designed by its founders to put into execu-
tion trade improvements. And now, we are faced with
the fact that we must either cooperate with the special-
ized trade organizations, or form a new organization
here within ourselves by the revision of our by-laws.

Our membership, with proper trade divisions, can
form a legislative body to enact trade laws for trade
betterment that should meet all problems as they ar-
rive. With a definite plan of organization, we can ac-
complish a definite work; and unless the Chicago Flo-
rists Club has a definite plan of action and can produce
results for the good of all its members, it has no right
to exist. Reorganization and centralization will enable
us to lay out a definite course, applicable to all our
particular desires. All that is needed is the revenue
represented by part of the fees of the other local trade
bodies, in other words a common fund for the .good
of all.

Let us revise our by-laws, reorganize our plan of ac-
tion, and with the funds at our disposal, we can assist
each trade group to obtain the objective for which it was
organized. The separate trade organizations in return,
as active units of the Chicago Florists Club, would mean
a handsome increase in our membership, an addition in
our treasurj-, increased attendance at our meetings, and
an increase in our accomplishments. Our influence
would spread throughout the nation and raise the Chi-
cago trade to a prestige in keeping with its importance.

Who can deny that when we create trade divisions
within the Chicago Florists Club, each of them will
first serve itself and then serve us, too? Just as has
been done in the case of the Allied Florists Association.
The Chicago Florists Club will respect the rights of
each of these so-called competitive organizations, just
as their rights are respected now when they stand alone
to improve themselves. Were the Chicago Florists
Club to receive only part of the money which is now
paid into the various organizations, we could increase
our revenues fourfold, and at the same time each dis-
tinct trade organization would get four times the re-
sults and four times its money's worth. As we are
running along now, each trade body is only as strong
as its membership and resources will allow. Under
a new plan of reorganization the Chicago Florists Club,
I believe, can give the membership in each trade divi-

sion all the advantages it now possesses and more and
give them at a cost of less money, less time and less
energy,

Mr. Kohout then stated that he had prepared a work-
ing plan embodying the application of his recommenda-
tions that he would shortly make public through the
trade press, "It will be," he concluded, "a plan where-
by all the good of this pioneer organization will be
preserved and all its weaknesses rejected; a plan to
initiate action at the opening of the next meeting; a
plan to win the support of the outside organizations and
thus let us again exemplify the spirit of T will' and
maintain the supremacy of Chicago and progressive
leadership."

Artificial Flowers Pro and Con

Peter Pierson exhibited a bouquet of wooden flow-
ers principally to bring up a discussion of the artificial
flower question. Otto Amiing stated that the S. A. F.
and O. H. should take some action discouraging the
use of such material.

T. E. Waters pointed out that both grower and re-
tailer should push natural flowers to the front; also
that there was a vast difference between artificial flow-
ers and natural prepared foliage. Hans Jepsen and
others also took part in this discussion.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society

The inaugural meeting of this body held at Horticul-
tural Hall, Boston, on Saturday, Jan, 8, was a notable
event. The attendance was larger, by far, than at any
similar meeting for many years back; the acceptance
speech by President-elect Albert C. Burrage was a mas-
terpiece of earnest eloquence which went right to the
hearts of all present; the lectures by Dr. Frank Bennett
and Ernest K. Thomas touched upon matters of vital
interest to the society and people at large ; and the num-
ber of exhibitors and exhibits was much larger than
usual. It was almost 6 o'clock in the evening when the
meeting came to an end and those that were fortunate
?nough to be present will long remember the occasion.

Wm. C. Endicott, the outgoing president, opened the
proceedings, reviewing the history of the society for the
past year and making many valuable recommendations
and suggestions for its future w'ork. He mentioned
the great success of the past year and the outlook for
a still brighter future. He stated in part that the so-
ciety has now 974 members, that two bulletins have
been published in the course of the year and that it may
be advisable to increase the fee for life and annual
membership. He then introduced Mr. Burrage as one
eminently suited to the exalted and responsible posi-
tion of president.

President Burrage's Address
Mr. Burrage spoke of the work and aims of the so-
ciety and of their importance in relation to horticultural
interests of Boston, Mass., and the whole country. His
words showed his extraordinary knowledge of horti-
cultural subjects and his great love for Nature's chil-
dren. He dwelt at length upon the status and actions of

the Federal Horticultural Board, gladly acknowledging
that a sensible quarantine, properly conceived and car-
ried through, is desirable and beneficial in many in-
stances but expressing his earnest and decided opposi-
tion to the system and rulings in force at the present
time.

Mr7 Burrage, who has probably the choicest and larg-
est private collection of orchids in this country, told
how, some 20 years ago, when he first became ac-
quainted with orchids, he made up his mind that he
would have some of his own if ever able to afford it.
The time came when he was able to indulge his wish
but this simply gave rise to another, namely, to give
others a chance to enjoy orchids too. As a result, dur-
ing 1920 he gave monthly public exhibitions of his very
choicest specimens in large numbers and, most effective-
ly displaved. without regard to cost. By actual count
over 50,000 people have come to admire these plants,
and the beneficial results of these shows will certainly
be lasting and far reaching, Mr, Burrage mentioned
the fact that the Massachusetts Horticultural Society is
older than the Royal Horticultural Society of England
and only 35 years younger than the Horticultural So-
ciety of London. He also stated that not one of his
innumerable orchids is a native of the United States.
For this reason, and, in view of the fact that no de-
structive pests or diseases are imported with orchids,
Mr, Burrage is in hopes that the present quarantine will
be modified and importation of orchids again be made
possible. ^

Miss Marion R. Case, whose interest in the society s
welfare is unlimited, stated that she would favor one
or two additional shows during the year and offered
to Snance the undertakings.

A Message from St. Thomas, Ont.

Dr. Frank E. Bennett, who for many years, has been
president of the Horticultural Society of St. Thomas,
Ontario, Canada, has a good many friends in Boston
and his lecture was a treat to all. He is a pleasant
speaker who takes great pride in his home city and in
the workings of its horticultural society, which has en-
abled it to win the honorary title of "Flower City."
Notwithstanding its small population of 30,000, there
are probably few other cities on the continent where the
cooperation of the citizens with their horticultural so-
ciety is as pronounced or its results so practical and
universal. The Horticultural Society of St. Thomas
has a membership of over 3500, its aim being to inspire
its members to do everything to make the city beautiful
by planting frontyards and backyards with flowers and
giving these the best of care. The society voluntarily
and at its own expense plants trees, shrubs and a large
number of flower beds in the parks and along the boule-
vards, erects rest shelters in suitable places ; gives its
members advice and encouragement in all matters con-
nected with gardening; buys seeds, bulbs, shrubs, trees
and plants and resells them to the citizens ; and dis-
tributes a great number of flowers among the sick at
home and in the hospitals, and to the churches. _ The
wearing of flowers in the coat lapel eiery day is re-
garded as a matter of course in St. Thomas, and in the
parks and other public plantings, new varieties are in-
troduced so that the people may judge and become ac-
quainted with them. Incidentally, St. Thomas has been
selected by the American Gladiolus Society as the site
for its convention this year.

The Florins* Exchange

Ernest K. Thomas of Kingston, R. I., secretary of
the Rhode Island Horticultural Societj' and in charge
of the extension work of the United States Department
of Agriculture and the Rhode Island State Agricultural
College, gave an interesting account of the work in con-
nection with his different undertakings. Both Dr. Ben-
nett's and Mr. Thomas's lectures were freely illustrated
with lantern slides.

Orchids Lead in the Exhibits

The exhibition tables were filled with unusually fine
specimens. Albert C. Burrage exhibited a wonderful
lot of orchids, including Lcelio-Cattleya Cardinal Mer-
cier, which has been imported since the present quaran-
tine rules went into effect. It is one of the rarest and
most valuable of varieties.

Duncan Finlayson showed Calanthe McWilliamsii,
George T. Butterworth had a fine piece of Dendrobium
Denisianum and a collection of Odontoglossums and
Cypripediums, and Peter Arnott e-xhibited Cymbidium
Doris and a half a dozen extra large Cyclamen. Wm.
H. Colby's Begonia Cincinnati were much admired on
account of their unusual size and perfection; also his
Chorizema ilicifolia. Wm. N. Craig, of Faulkner Farm,
showed Buddleia asiatica in bloom and James Wheeler
showed a pink sport of Carnation Matchless.

The Nursery Department

(Concluded from page 135)

favor and one borne out in many plantings we ha^^e
seen, is the fact of its being able to make good either
in shade or sunlight, and it is not at all particular
whether it occupies a northern or southern aspect, pro-
viding the soil is not impoverished and moisture is pres-
ent in moderate supply.

The Pines

For windswept gardens, we can always have recourse
to the Pines, as these are better adapted for such condi-
tions than are the more rigid wind-resisting evergreens.

As a tree for planting alone on the lawn the Hima-
layan Pine (Pinus excelsa) will take precedence over
all others for beauty and foliage. We say this with all
due respect for our native White Pine (Pitms sirobus),
which is a noble tree when well grown and kept free
from the ravages of the white aphis which in later
years it has been subject to. The Himalayan Pine, while
it greatly resembles The White, has much longer needles
or leaves : a perfect, healthy plant will have leaves 7in.
to Sin. in length, while the White Pine has leaves only
about half that length. The latter will, however, stand
a little rougher usage than the former.

A most hardy and rugged Pine is the Austrian (Pinus
atistriaca). One of the most rapid growers among ever-
greens, it soon forms a striking feature on the lawn.
It has the advantage of maintaining its lower branches
in good condition for a very much longer time than
some others.

The Scotch Pine (Pinus sylvestris) is a very hand-
some tree while young, and commands admiration for
its beautiful silvery appearance. In this country, how-
ever, it has a tendency to lose its lower branches, which
mars it for a single specimen planting.

For lawns of small size the Swiss Pine (Pinus cem-
bra), Limber Pine (Pinus ftexUis) and Pinus montana,
will commend themselves. They are slow of growth
but maintain good form and symmetry to a great age.

The Retinisporas (Japanese Cedars)

While all the Cedars, without exception, are used (and
rightly so) for grouping, there are a few that come
to mind which are excellent for specimen planting on
lawns, namely: Retinispora pisifera, R. pisifera aurea,
R. plumosa, R. plumosa aurea, R. obtusa, R. squarrosa,
R. ftlifera.

The species pisifera and obtusa are by far the best of
the group for standing out alone. All are quite hardy
in this latitude as far as the term "hardy" is commonly
accepted, and are distinctly attractive alike for large or
small gardens. The variety obtusa, seen in specimen
form, is truly beautiful. It maintains too a good green
color in Winter, a point greatly in its favor, as it must
be remembered there is quite a difference in Summer
and Winter coloration of evergreens. Some assume a
dull appearance not at all attractive.

It must be borne in mind when considering Retini-
sporas, of whatever variety, that they require a moist
soil and a position sheltered a little from sweeping
winds. Last Winter taxed the hardiness of these plants
and many occupying exposed positions were badly in-
jured and in some cases completely killed.

In comparison with other evergreens very few calls
are made on the .\rborvitaes (Thuja's) for single speci-
men planting, yet the few we have seen would lead us
to the conclusion that more often could they be resorted
to.

In some of our large parks and cemeteries may be
seen some beautiful old specimens of Thuja occidentalis.
Towering aloft amid the spires and shafts marking the

last resting places of departed friends, or growing un-
molested by lawn mower, in some ideal spot in our
parks, we are better able to form the right opinion or
their true value.

The golden foliage variety of our common Arbor-
vitae known in the trade as George Peabody makes a
splendid looking object when it reaches mature size.
Keeping the plant well nourished and plenty of moisture
at the roots are the essentials in maintaining a healthy
and robust appearance ; lacking this the plant becomes
thin and sparse of foliage, thus giving the impression
that it is fit only for grouping with other plants where
one hides the imperfections of the other.

Hardy Perennials as Nursery Stock

Peter Weller, general manager of the Weller Nur-
series Co. of Holland, Mich., is quite optimistic about
the future of the perennial grower. He believes there
has never been a better opportunity than now to make
the perennial what it should be to the flower lover. "I
have so much confidence in perennials," he says, "that
we are adding twenty more acres to our present outfit
and these will be filled with them this year, if I have
to use the trowel myself." Moreover, there is room
for many more perennial growers, for in his estimation,
nine-tenths of the people do not know what they are.

Many nurserymen, florists, seedsmen and even land-
scape gardeners are not using perennials or are dis-
couraging the sale of them because they do not know
them. They don't know what they are missing. Those
who have persistently handled perennials know it is the
easiest thing in the world to sell an "old-fashioned
fiower garden," or "flower border." It is flowers the
people want and especially those which require the lea.st
care. The perennial does not require much attention
and, when once planted, flourishes for many years.

For the nursery agent, the perennials are splendid
leaders and never failing starters of orders. A man
may be hard to sell to, but the lady will usually fall
for a fifty cent perennial and pave the way for the
agent to book more important orders later.

The Weller Nurseries Co. has done a little old-fash-
ioned gardening locally, for the reason that no land-
scape gardener or nurseryman around their district
seems to care about it. They have never failed yet to
sell interested customers from 500 to 2000 plants, if they
undertake to plan the garden and plant it.

If the perennial growers of America will grow the
quality, and give everybody who can put them before
the consumer, the service, it will not be long when
every agent, landscape gardener, florist and seedsmaii
will be talking perennials.

The fact that the Weller Nurseries Co. has had an
unusually heavy demand this past Fall, and is planning
to greatly enlarge its cultures is proof enough that
perennials are a most valuable and profitable asset to
a nursery business. B. P. A. W.

Why is a Florist the Most Scientific of Men ?

James Morton, our Western representative with head-
quarters at Chicago, was in a theatre one night when
one comedian asked another, "Why is a farmer the
most wonderful of men?" The answer was, "Because
he has to know the psychological time to plant; the bo-
tanical names of all he plants, and the entomological
names of all the insects that devour his plants." Acting
on this point Mr. Morton wrote the article above cap-
tioned and which has already appeared in a leaflet is-
sued by the Chicago Florists Club and has already been
highly spoken of. Our version (which was the first
edition) differs considerably from that published in
Chicago, and we will have to leave it to our readers'
judgment as to which of the two is the better one —
and which one would they sooner commit to memory ;

Because he ought to know the philosophical as well
as the psychological time to plant; the meteorological
conditions best suited for transplanting; the botanical
name of everything he plants, and because he ought to
have a clarified conception of the fundamental principles
of soil fertility, plant pathology, bacteriology and the
physiology of plants in connection with their uses to
man and the lower animals.

In the promulgating of his esoteric cogitations as to
how best to promote plant life, he should possess a coal-
escent consistency of ideas regarding the uses and abuses
of nitrogeneous, oxogeneous, hydrogeneous and carboni-
ferous bodies, whether obscure or apparent.

Plant development, he should know from germination
to fructification, including fertilization, pollenization,
hybridization, fecundation, and the alleviation of all ills
pertaining thereto, during the transitory period of ma-
turation of the beautiful objects of his care.

In the profundity of entomology a concentrated in-
telligence is absolutely essential. He should know at a
glance all plant-ivorous and pestiferous insects, their
habits and manner of attack, whether they cling, crawl,
chew, or use their proboscis as a means whereby to ex-
ist. He should study well the best forms of combat,
keep a clear head and should fight without profanation
the entire Summer long, to maintain his flowers free
from bugs and beetles, and his trees immune from
the gypsy moth and others.

In pharmaceutics he should be a graduate of con-
summate ability to know all the formulas and fungi-
cides best suited for the annihilation of the marauding
hordes of garden pests. He should know the approved
methods of handling all bug ammunition, whether to be
dusted, sprayed, sprinkled, shot, thrown or simply
handed to them.

In the articulation of the superficial sentimentalities
so dear to the heart of every florist he has to beware
of platitudinous ponderosity. He must eschew all flatu-
lent verbosity, sedulously avoid all polysyllabic pro-
fundity, grandiloquent vapidity, equivocal vacuity,
thrasonical bombast and prurient jocosity. In
other words in advertising, he has to talk plainly, sen-
sibly and truthfully; simply let him confine his extem-
poraneous descantings to our grand little slogan, "Say
it with Flowers."

Profit Sharing

At least one of our retail florists, Robert C. Kerr
Co. Inc., of Houston, Texas, has in operation a well-
defined plan of profit sharing. In this issue we give in
full the profit sharing plan of the National Cash Regis-
ter Co. of Dayton, O., sanctioned and put into effect by
its president, John H. Patterson, a gentleman who is
looked upon with high respect in all his endeavors to
promote human happiness. We give the plan in full be-
cause, as usual, with all Mr. Patterson's endeavors it
appears to us to have been worked out with great care
and looks thoroughly workable. — [See article in this
issue.']

A Real Peach

Some of us are apt to think that we can grow Peaches.
True enough, we can, but it's never been our good for-
tune to be favored by a reader, as was the editor of the
Gardener's Chronicle, London, recently, with a Peach -
weighing over 16 ounces. It would seem that a gardener '
is in the habit of sending our contemporary a big Peach
annually and, in 1911, the sample tipped the scale at
1814 ounces. The variety is the Salwey. In 1880, how-
ever, a record for England was set up with a Dr. Hogg
Peach, which weighed 23% ounces. The best we have
been able to do is about 4 ounces.

The Market

Jan. 10. — The market during the first
week of the new year was without special
feature. Receipts of stock were weak, but
the demand was not suflicicutly strong
to absorb much more tha n was avail-
able. Short Koses and Carnations for
executing funeral orders are in greatest
demand. Lilies^ tancy Roses and Violets
move with the sluggishness typical of a
feeble demand.

A very nice assortment of stock is to
be had, however, at usable prices. In
addition to the staple items, there are
now offered, Snapdragons, Freesias, Daf-
fodils, Hyacinths and Heather. Very few
Sweet Peas have as yet put in their ap-
pearance. Adiantum is scarce and good
Asparagus is short of the daily require-
ments.

Prevailing prices are practically the
same as those obtaining in January in
this market during the last several years.
While lower values are expected, they
will not arrive until new cuts _ are pro-
duced, following the heavy holiday har-
vest. This condition will not arrive
until February, although the present
bright, mild weather will hasten the ma-
turity of the Carnations, Sweet Peas and
bulbous stock. Retailers are proceed-
ing along conservative lines until the
period of greater abundance of seasonable
flowers arrives.

The Outlook

There is every reason to look for
a normal volume of business for the
present month and for the months im-
mediately following it. The slight de-
pression of the early Winter is now over,
and on all sides trade is gradually but
surely resuming its accustomed stride. In
florists' supplies and accessories, values
have reached rock bottom and further de-
clines are not anticipated. A spirit of
optimism in every member of the trade
is essential now to help hasten the re-
adjustment. Nothing helps more than
confidence, vrliich must begin with our-
selves. There is plenty of money in the
country, in the hands of the middle
classes, who, experience has taught us, are
potential flower buyers. Perhaps there
never was a time when the need of ju-
dicious publicity was more imperative
than under present conditions. When
business does not come of its own voli-
tion it is obvious that it should be
sought. Advertising will materially aid
in this search. Good times are ahead
for them that prepare for their enjoy-
ment and profit. This feeling is evidenced
in all other lines of activity, and the
florist's is no exception. J. McL.

St. Paul, Minn.

The general trend toward scarcity of
all kindfs of cut stock is keeping every-
thing at a fair price. The Rose supply,
through the excessive dull weather * in
December, was short at Christmas, but
coming in as they do now, they are good
property. The only abundance of any-
thing is Paperwhites, of which everyone
is overstocked and prices run very low.
Local grown Jonquils, Tulips and Hya-
cinths are coming in, but the supply
cannot keep up with the demand. A few
Chrysanthemums are noted here and
there.

In pot plants. Hyacinths and Tulips
are coming in. Cinerarias are attractive
and sell readily. The Luminosa Begonias
make attractive plants and are better
than the Chatelaine, which, during the
dark days, always drop the bloom quickly.

The Christmas and holiday trade in
general was splendid, with the exception
of Poinsettias, which failed to sell as
readily as in previous years. Many of
the retailers had much of this stock left
on their hands. While nothing can be
complained of in regard to the florists'
business, it is noted ^at people are buy-
ing more carefully than formerly. It is
questionable whether the 11,000 who are
out of work, were ever flower buyers, of
any account.

The Coal Proposition

While there is plenty to be ha , prices
rule high, $13 to ^17 per ton; there is no
prospect of easier prices this season,
Fortunately so far, the usual zero condi-
tions have not yet prevailed.

Odd Notes

Thos. Hall, for many ^ears florist on
Lynndale ave., has sold his business and
is retiring.

K. H. Mazey of Mazey Floral Co., on
8th St., filinneapolis, died last Frida,\ ,
utter three days of pneumonia. Thu
funeral took place Sunday. Mr. Miizuy
had been in business about eight yuuiH,
and had grown to be one of the largest
florists in iVIinneapolis. Only last year
lio extended his greenhouses with the
idea of supplying a more extensive retail
trade. He is survived by his widow.

Fur several years the State Fair gruiind-s
and Liikewood Cemetery Association has
been disposing of a great deal of stock
to the trade. A ruling has just been
[lassed that these institutions shall discon-
tinue same, because of unfair competition.
It is understood that Lakewood Cemetery
Vssociation has taken the matter to
higher courts. B. 0. T.

Indianapolis, Ind.

The Market

ytuplcs have been in suit'icient sup-
ply. Thuse tiowers, however, whicli are
outside the usual bounds, such as early
Jonquils, at $10 to $15 per 100, Lilacs at
50c per spray. Daises at $5 to $10 per
100 and fancy Sweet Peas at $2 to $4 per
100, are not always obtainable. The
Carnation market is much better supplied
at $5 to $8 per 100 wholesale and $1 to
^S per doz. retail. Callas are much more
plentiful at $15 to $20 per 100 and the
lirst Giganteimis are seen at the same
hgure. A few early Hyacinths are avail-
able, but the quality is poor at $10 to $12
per 100. A few Lilies of the Valley are
being forced locally; the quality is ex-
cellent. Several of the larger growers
report a quantity of bulbous stock which
will be ready for the market soon. Early
Pussywillow at $4 to $6 per 100 is very
acceptable.

Nearly all of the business at hand
right now is for funeral work. There
is a surprisinng lack of regular counter
trade for the more joyous occasions of
life, and it is certainly to this end that
we must all work in the future. The
whole trend of business is changing once
more to that class of people who have
retained their capital throughout and who
in the future will maintain regular flower
Ijuying accoxmts.

Indiana State Florists' Ass'n

Indiana florists and visitors from
surrounding States displayed considerable
interest in the annual meeting of the

The Market

The week after New Year found
quite a change in the supply. Koses,
which had been very plentiful, became
scarce and prices stifltened. Carnations
became more abundant, poor grades sell-
ing cheaply ; good stock, however,
brought $6 to $10 per 100. Some Carna-
tions arrived in a sleepy condition. Narcissi
are plentiful and prices are down; Jon-
quils are quoted at $10 to $12 per 100.
violets with bright weather, are selling
at $1 per .100, lots of 1,000 selling for
S7.50. Sweet Peas are quoted $1.50 to
$2 per 100, Stevias at 25c. a bunch,
Smilax at 25c., Plumosa 75c. to $1.50 per
bunch and Pussywillow at 5c. to 8c.

Market Report

Scarcity of stock has been the big
feature with the flower business the past
week. Funeral work has been heavy, and
this, along with cold, dark weather, which
has held the cut down, makes it extremely
hard to secure enough stock.

Short Roses are still high priced, but
mediiun and longer grades have dropped
some the past week, Ophelia, Colimibia,
Hoosier and Dunlop are the leaders in
price, at $12 to $40 per 100, while other
varieties range from $10 to $35 per 100.

Carnations have dropped considerably
in price since Christmas, the price being
$6 to $10 per 100, while Laddie is $15.
Paperwhites grown locally, are about over
for this season ; what few are to
be had sell readily at $8 per 100. Sweet
Peas are still scarce at $2 to $3 per 100.
Homegrown Lily of the Valley has made
its first appearance this season, at $10
per 100. G. J. B.

Trade Notes

Jan. 6. — The consensus of reports
from a number of retaU flower shops
throughout the city indicates that the
trade in general has been on a satisfac-
tory basis. None report that the current
week's sales exceed those of the cor-
responding week of last year, but general
satisfaction seems to prevail. This is in
sharp contrast to the reports we hear
from other lines of trade.

Wholesalers report that while Roses
have been scarce they have been of ex-
cellent quality. The same is true of or-
chids. Sweet Peas and Freesias are
coming in in increasing quantities and
look good. Violets are reported as sat-
isfactory, both in quality and demand.

Odd Notes

It is stated that the novel scheme
which the Pelicano Rossi Co. used in de-
livering its Christmas Day orders, namely,
that of using all the delivery automobiles
of the White House, 22 in number, proved
so successful that they plan to repeat it
next year.

The San Francisco Retail Florists As-
sociation announces that beginning Sun-
day, January 9, 1921, the flower shops
throughout the city will close all day
Sundays.

Increased business has made it neces-
sary for Julius Epstein to enlarge his
"stand in the lobby of the St. Francis
Hotel.

Portland, Ore.

Trade Notes

Since the first of the year there
has been a decided drop in the demand
for flowers which has hit the trade as
a whole. Stock of all kinds is plentiful,
which is a condition that has n'-t ex-
isted for the past three years at this time.
Carnations have taken their pre-Christmas
price and are moving better. Freesias are
somewhat in oversupply and rather on the
soft side as they are grown fairly warm.
Chrysanthemiuns are not so plentiful.
About the only thing in yellow to be had
at present are some very poor Daffodils
trumpet major, a few yellow 'Miuns and
some yellow Narcissus. There is still a
small quantity of Bouvardia coming in
and with the existing fair demand for
corsages, it comes in very handy.

The New Year fell somewhat short of
last year, but at that there was a good
cleanup made. A year ago after the re-
moval of the ban on dancing, etc., every
one came out with a bang and the New
Year was a hummer. This year the week
between New Year and Christmas saw
much better and steadier business. There
was a heavy demand for corsages and
there were not near enough orchids to
go around; there could at least have
been 100 more disposed of.

Pot Tulips are making their appearance
in earnest and are selling well. The
Hyacinths are also to be seen, but they
show the heavy forcing.

News Items

The next florists' round table will
be held Friday evening at the Hazelwood.
The topic of the day will be cooperative
advertising. Here's hoping for success.

The Holden Floral Co. has a nice batch
of Hyacinths coming in at this time. Tulips
are also in evidence at this establish-
ment.

The Kobinson Floral Co. is cutting some
excellent Freesias.

Clarke Bros, handled a large Jewish
wedding during the week. This firm is
the first to show Roman Hyacinths this
season.

The Martin & Forbes Co. are enjoy-
ing an excellent cut of Hadley Roses.
This firm also grows superb Columbia".
The last named Rose is making many
warm friends on aecount of its excellent
keeping qualities and its beauty when
open.

Smith's Flower Shop is still showing a
considerable display of 'Mums in various
colors. Some excellent Maude Dean are
to be found here.

The -Rahn & Herbert Co. are enjoying
an excellent cut of Carnations. The Lad-
die is seen at its best here.

Henry Kahn of Lents Junction is sup-
plying some excellent Sweet Peas.

O. E. Panzer reports a cleanup for
Christmas.

The growers committee have charge of
the program at the next meeting of the
Oregon Florists' Club and we are looking
for^vard to "some time." The growers
anticipate doing it up brown.

Christmas and New Year coming on
Saturday was welcome to all in the trade.
It gave at least most of the crew a
chance for a day of rest. This can be
greatly appreciated when we look back
on the many holidays that are so joyful
to all in the trade.

We see that San Francisco has joined
with the progressive forces in the trade
and is putting a stop on the always open
sign, and is closing up shop on Sunday.
Force of habit is so strong that many
will no doubt feel lost for the first few
weeks, but they will be happier after
they have again learned to partake of
the pleasures of life. H. N

Influence of Fruit Stock

Experiments made in France by Gug-
tave Riviere and Gabriel Bailhache af-
ford some interesting data regarding the
influence of the stock on the scion. The
tests made were with Williams' Bon
ChrStien, better known on this side of
the water as the Bartlett Pear.

The scions were all grafted on the Co-
quassier stock, and it was noted that some
trees were more vigorous than others. It
was found that the excess of vigor was
due to the fact that these, owing to deep
planting, had emitted roots above the
graft. A comparison of the fruits showed
that those produced on the trees which
had not rooted above the graft, were
larger, sweeter and of finer flavor than
those borne on trees which had developed
own roots.

In this respect, it may be said that
much difference of opinion has existed re-
garding the planting of grated or budded
trees, so that the union is below the sur-
face.

Years ago, the writer found that cordon
Pears on the Quince stock, grew more
rampantly and fruited less freely when
planted deeply.. As regard flavor, too, it
was particularly noted that some Pear«
were of much superior flavor and size
when grown on the Quince than when on
the Pear stock.

Lettuce for Dark Days

Charles Laper at the Ohio Experiment
Station, without any fanciful dreams of
making Lettuces grow in the dark, never-
theless had an idea that it might be pos-
sible to develope a strain of Grand Rapids
that would, more or less, ignore the dark
cloudy days of Winter.

He kept at it for twelve years, and now
has two distinct strains, one of which
yields heavily and grows well under con-
ditions unfavorable to Lettuce. Seed in
sufficient quantity to permit its dissemi-
nation among the various experiment
stations of the United States and Can-
ada, has been saved and comparative
trials will be made.

Your Advertising Budget

8 from Nelson Coon, a risii
the estimates given, is let
vn particular budget.

Some Al suggestions from Nelson Coon, a rising young florist, who,
we rather suspect, in the estimates given, is letting our readers have
an insight into his own particular budget.

Li IJ ITH most florists January is a month of planning
I'.'J — planning for Easter, for Spring, and for Me-
mi morial Day. In fact the wisest florist is he who
looks farthest ahead. In the midst of all this
planning one of the most important items of all is quite
apt to be and is too often generally forgotten. We speak
of the advertising appropriation.

Large stocks of plants and flowers are valueless un-
less a market is found for them and so we find the
largest department stores giving great attention to busi-
ness getting through advertising.

The average florist does more or less advertising in a
haphazard way, rarely realizing how much or how little
he is spending on it. The importance of a definite ap-
propriation shown by the
adequate report submitted

by a special committee at
the past F. T. D. A. con-
vention. Certainly there is
hardly anyone who would
deny the fact that the right
way of spending money is
under this budget or ap-
propriation plan.

"But," the florist says,
"How do I know how
much to lay aside for my
advertising?" This ques-
tion is one that must be
answered by each individ-
ual, but a consideration of
the factors involved may
be helpful.

Too often the determina-
tion of the amount to be
spent in a given year is
based on a wrong standard
— that of the past business
rather than of the prospec-
tive. The advertiser says.
"My sales for 1920 were
only so and so, and there-
fore I must curtail my ad-
vertising." This should
rather be all the more rea-
son for increasing the ex-
penditure. How can you
expect to reach the goal
of increased sales on the
strength of last year's ad-
vertising? It is just this
method of retroaction that
has caused so many to say
that advertising is a fail-
ure.

Another factor in deter-
mining the amount to be
spent is whether or not
you have a shop and, if
so, its nearness to the
shopping center of the

town. The farther you are located from this center the
greater should be your advertising efforts. Florists
who have a downtown shop have higher rents but greater
opportunities for advertising through their show win-
dow. So much for general considerations.

In the report submitted at the convention some inter-
esting facts were brought out as to the percentage of
gross sales to spend for advertising. According to that
report, Florist No. 3 spent 2 per cent of his gross sales
for advertising and realized a profit of 7 per cent. Flo-
rist No. 6 spent zyi per cent and realized profits of 8
per cent, while No. 1 spent 4 per cent and made gross
profits of 18 per cent. These facts certainly speak for
themselves and should be kept in mind in laying out the
budget. Probably you have read the stories of the
great advertising successes of the California fruit grow-
ers and others, but here is the proof right in our own
ranks that advertising pays.

For the florist who is not desirous of going too deeply
into all these factors it might be said that a safe and
profitable expenditure should be between 3 per cent and
i per cent of the expected sales. This amount is con-
sidered an average one by many agencies and authorities.

Having determined what the percentage of expendi-
ture will be, the next duty is to divide the money between
the different elements of the year's campaign. Below
we give a suggested outline for such a division. Of
course, in actual practice, the amount to be used for
each season must be governed by local conditions. To
make this outline more readable and understandable we

have taken the case of Mr. A. Florist, who expects
with reasonable increases to do a business in 19"il of
$50,000 and has decided to spend 4 per cent, or $3000
of this amount for his advertising. We will further
assume that he is in a town where there is one live daily
newspaper in which to advertise. His budget then will
look something like this :

ADVERTISING BUDGET — MR. A. FLORIST
1921 $2000.

Newspaper Advertising — 300 times at SI. 50 $450.00

S, A. F. National Campaign (H of 1% of sales) 250.00

Valentine's Dav — 1000 folders to men at 5c. each. . . . 50.00

of the Valley, showered with Violets and Lilies of the Valley, is not included in the view. All the pieces shown were supplied by the Idle

Fall Display — Announcements 50.00

Thanksgiving— Folders 100.00

Christmas — Folders and Newspaper 150.00

Reserve for extras 300.00

$2000.00
If the florist, having outlined such a budget, will en-
dea\'or to make each advertising effort come well within
the sums designated, he will find that he will be doing
more advertising, more persistently and more profitably.
This is something that doesn't cost anything but a little
time and will be sure to help you to put every dollar in

Why John Smith's Flower
Store Grew

By FRANK H. WILLIAMS

SOME few years ago, in a good-sized Middle West-
ern town, two new flower shops began business.
(Dne of them was owned by a man whom we will
call Homer Brown; the other was owned by a live-wire
named John Smith.

At the start of their careers the two stores seemed to

have equal chances of making good. Both were located
on the main street of the city, in the heart of the shop-
ping district, within a block of each other. .\nd both
Smith and Brown were well known and well liked. All
indications pointed to a real success for both of the
stores.

That was about five years ago. Today there is but
one of the shops in existence — the one owned by Mr.
Smith. The other closed its doors just a short time ago.
Why did Smith's shop succeed and Brown's shop fail?
It is for the purpose of answering this question that
this article has been written and it is hoped that from
this story the proprietors of other flower shops may gain
pointers which will be of aid to them in their business.
If they do secure such pointers then the writing of this
article will have been well worth while.

Perhaps the best way to demonstrate the reasons for
Smith's success and Brown's failure is by telling of the
things that Smith did, and by further making the simple
statement that Brown did none of the things that his
competitor did, and that he failed to do anything else
which would counteract the favorable impression made
l)y Smith.

In the beginning there wasn't much to choose between
the two shops. Each one was attractive and well stocked,
Ea;h one had courteous and attractive salespeople to
assist the proprietors. And
each shop had about the
same prices and was about
as good as the other in the
matter of deliveries and
other services.

But right at the start
Smith began doing un-
usual things to attract at-
tention to his establish-
ment and to make people
talk.

For instance, at the end
of his first month in busi-
ness he placed in his show
windows a number of
\ases of various sizes in
which he put bouquets of
various sizes. The biggest
bpuquet was of Roses.
The next largest was of
Carnations. With these
bouquets Smith placed, in
a prominent position, a
placard which read like
this:

"Do the proportionate
sizes of our sales indicate-
that the Rose is this city's
favorite flower?

"Look at these bouquets.
The size of each bouquet
is an indication of the
number of flowers of the
kind used in each bouquet
that we sold during our
first month in business.
We sold more Roses last
month than we did any
other flower. Next to
Roses came Carnations.
This seems to indicate that
the Rose is the favorite
flower of the city.

"What is your favorite
flower?
"If you will tell us, in a
letter of not over 100 words just what your favorite
flower is and why it is your favorite, you may win a
prize of two dozen of your favorites. Send in your
letter this week as this offer will close next Saturday.
The prize, of course, will be awarded to the letter which
is judged the best by a committee consisting of the
teacher of literature in the local high school, the editors
of the two local newspapers and the proprietor of this
store.

"Send in your letter now."

Of course this unusual slant on the selling of flowers,
attracted a lot of attention and created a lot of talk
and also brought in a great number of letters. Smith
kept track of all these letters and used the names of
the contestants as the foundation for a mailing list.

Right away he was demonstrating conclusively that
he was a live wire. While Brown was sitting back
waiting for the public to patronize him, Smith was going
after the trade strong.

In every possible way Smith added to his mailing list.
He put to it the names of all customers and the names
of the people to whom customers sent flowers. Every
now and then he planned some other feature which also
brought him additional names.

Finally, when Smith was pretty w-ell convinced that
he had on his mailing list a sufficient number of names
to make it worth while to circularize them, he began
sending out mail ads. In starting his mailing campaign
he determined to do this advertising regularly and with
a definite purpose behind it. So during his first year he

sent out an attractive circular each month.
He sent this circular near the close of
each month and for the first year it al-
ways contained the calendar for the com-
ing month and a lot of interesting read-
ing matter concerning the flower of the
month. It always ended up with a sug-
gestion that the ending of the flower of
the month to people whose birthdays and
marriage anniversaries occurred during
the month was always a happy thought.
Smith took pains to see to it that he al-
ways had a sufficient stock of the month's
flowers on hand to take care of orders
and he gave an added inerest to all orders
for flowers of the month by attaching
to them an attractively printed card upon
which appeared some of the interesting
things that had been said about the
month's flower.

This monthlj mailing of an ad to this
list of flower lovers made a lot of people
talk favorably about Smith and resulted
in nmnerous orders. And Smith's policy
of keeping everlastingly at it and not
missing a single mailing had a ciunulative
effect which in time resulted in making
the recipients of the advertising naturally
think only of Smith's store when they
were thinking of buying flowers at a
florist's.

From this it will be seen that even
as early as the first year he was in busi-
ness Smith was making great strides to-
ward firmly and permanently establishing
himself. And when it is realized that
Brown had conducted practically no pro-
motion work during the year it becomes
evident that Smith was already far on
the way toward success while Brown was
even then already slumping.

During Smith's second year he branched
out rather strongly in newspaper advertis-
ing. It wasn't that he used such large
I space ads, but that he made every single
I one carry a real message calculated to
I make people come to his shop to purchase
I flowers. In these ads Smitn every now
and then did something unusual — such as,
, for instance, suggesting to merchants that
■ the use of flowers purchased from the
Smith flower shop would add much at-
tractiveness to their window displays, or
he offered to supply homes with flowers
for their libraries and dining rooms at
a set price per month.
' At the end of Smith's second year his
business had grown so much that he could
afford to pay the increased rental his
landlord asked for remodeling the front
of the building in which he was located
in a way to make it much more attractive
and to allow him to display ferns, etc.,
all over the fi;ont of the structure.

All during his career Smith has been
consistently progressive and alert like this.
Brown had always done the conventional
thing and waited for folks to come and
purchase from him instead of going out
after trade.

Is it any wonder, then, that the in-
evitable has happened? Is it any wonder
that Smith now has the trade of the
city firmly in his grasp while Brown has
been forced to quit?
Think it over.

When Advertising Stops

The following article appeared recently
in the Abderdeen {S. D.) News, and its
story is obvious:

Do you remember Pearline ?

Once it was the most popular washing
powder in America.

In 1907 Pearline ceased advertising.

Its owners said that advertising was
no longer necessary, that Pearline was a
good product and everybody knew it.

E3i When Advertising Pays

{Continued from page 144)

In 1914, the Proctor Gamble Co. bought
Tearhne at their own figure to save it
from bankruptcy. They renamed the
tormula and have sold millions of dollars'
worth of It since, through advertising.
In seven years the public forgot Pearline,
and It dwindled from millions to nothing.

Pears Soap once tried the same experi-
ment, but noting the alarming slump in
sales in. six months, thev resumed their
advertising and did not bust.

If people did not die, if people did
not move, if new generations did not grow
up, if customs and habits did not change,
if competitors did not compete, if people
were not open to suggestions and re-
ceptive to new ideas, there would be no
need of advertising, and when a business
was once built up, it would stay put.
But until then, advertising is the surest
safeguard for the established product,
the most certain hope for the new idea.

The application of the above will be
just as true to our national publicity
campaign if we permit it to die out, as
will be the case if funds are not forth-
coming. Undoubtedly, those long headed,
loyal types of progressive florists who
have seen the light of advertising will
continue to give our campaign their moral
and financial support, but there are too
many who have not, as yet, absorbed the
merit of the above incident, and who,
when it is too late, will gather around
and say, "What's become of our national
campaign and our slogan: 'Say it with
flowers'?"

While it is true that "Say it with
flowers" is seen everywhere, the national
campaign is responsible for it, and should
be the central part of the plan whereby
we make our foundations solid and dignify
the florist industry to its proper pedestal.
Without continued national advertising,
we are losing the eflforts of the past two
or three years and any effort later on
will have to suffer if we discontinue for
too long a period.

We have one year more of voluntary
subscriptions to help the campaign fund
and those who have not subscribed in
the past, can feel that by sending their
portion now, they have at least made par-
tial payment for the success it may have
given them in the past three year's. The
fourth year should find many on the sub-
scription list who had not given before,
but who felt that the national campaign
had benefited them enough, so that we
could carry on our campaign for the fourth
year as originally outlined.

What say you? Henry Penn.

The National Cash Register Co.'s (Day-
ton Ohio J plan of sharing profits with
employees, which was in force during the
past year, will be continued in 1921. This
intention on the part of this great corpora-
tion to share half oi its profits during the
coming year is regarded as highly signifi-
cant. It shows that at least one large
manufacturing company is willing to do all
it can to help its people become happy and
prosperous.

The plan for 1921 states:

The profits of the firm will be deter-
mined by an outside disinterested firm of
accountants.

After the net profits have been deter-
mined, an amount equal to 6 per cent in-
terest on the company's investment will
be deducted.

The remaining profits will be divided
into two equal shares; one-half will go
to the company, the other half to the em-
ployees.

The company's share of the profits will
be used for erecting new buildings, buy-
ing new machinery, inventions and im-
provements, enlarging the business, etc.

The employees* share will be divided
into two parts, one-half or 25 per cent
of the profits going to the executives, the
other half or 25 per cent going to the
workers at Dayton.

I 92 West Main St.

The employees who make up the man-
agement, exclusive of the owners, are
"Class A," comprising the executives and
supervisors, consisting of 35 or more em-
ployees, who will receive 12 per cent;
"Class B," comprising foremen, consisting
of 85 or more employees, who will receive
5 per cent of the profits; "Class C," com-
prising job foremen and other employees
holding equal positions, consisting of 400 or
more employees, who will receive 8 per cent.
"Class D," comprises all other employees
at Dayton who have been in the employ
of the company for 30 days or longer,
who will receive the remaining 25 per
cent of the distributed profits.

"Class E" comprises employees who have
been with the company less than 30 days.
Class E members do not receive a share
of the distributed profits.

Profits in each class will be distributed
in cash among employees in proportion to
the wages or salaries received for the six
months period. Distribution of pronts
will be made semi-annually, and no one
will receive profits who has not been with
the company for six months at date of
distribution.

The company put this plan into effect
because they felt it ia right to share the
profits with those who have helped to
make them. The success of the plan is
evidenced by its continuance. It is the
desire of the company, at all times, in-
dependent of the profit sharing plan, to
pay all employees a salary or rate at least
equal to the high prevailing rate in this
section of the country for like lines of
work.

I. Kent, manager for W. H. Temblett,
Euclid ave., near 105th St., decorated his

terests many who love to study out the
various ideas conveyed in the arrange-
ment. In this case the investigator was
attracted by the lines of ribbons lead-
ing from the map of the United States,
placed slightly in the background, to some
box of flowers or basket or plant, among
all those shown in the window, or from
these back to the map, the idea being to
tiace them to their ultimate destination.
The packages and methods shown sug-
gested possibilities at a time when every-
body was debating, "What shall I send,"
and in this instance it helped materially
to solve their problems for them. The tout
ensemMe made a timely F. T. D. win-
dow and a suggestive one to boot ; if the
enterprise was worth the work and
thought bestowed upon it — and who can
question but what it was — this display
should have brought many satisfactory
orders in to Mr. Temblett. — E. G. W.

for the purchase of Miantonomi Hill, some
33 acres in extent, finely wooded, one and
three-quarter miles distant from the center
of the city, for a public park; the price,
$40,000, covers not only the cost of the
land, but also the erection of a suitable
fence around it. Upon the highest point
of the property a monument of suitable
design is to be erected in memory^ of the
men who made the supreme sacrifice in
the late war. To the wife of Rear Ad-
miral William Sims much credit is due
for the happy choice.

The committee on awards for the
year of the above society is to have the
added duty of training a class of pupils
selected from the schools. This class,

values, scale of points, etc., is to compete
in judging at the Kingston Fair with
similar classes trained in other sections
of the State. Prof. E. K. Thomas of

Carnation Night at tlie Beading
Florists Association

The monthly meeting of the Reading
Florists Association was held at A. W.
Masser's Seed House, 910 Penn st., with
all members in attendance. It was Car-
nation night.

Wm. Renninger, W. G. Kohout, and Geo.
A. King were elected to membership.

Harry C. Huesman was again elected
president for the second term, as was
Jacob C. Bander as vice-president, and
Wilbert N, Abel as secretary and treas-
urer.

A large collection of Carnations, eleven
of which were new varieties, was shown
for the first time. The new varieties
were the products of Strout's Carnation
range, Biddeford, Me. These new varie-
ties will be sent out in the year 1924. A
talk_ on Carnations was given by the
president, followed by a discussion on
the same. The association will visit the
large Rose and Carnation growers
around Philadelphia during the month of
February. A luncheon was served fol-
lowing the meeting.

W. N. Abel, Secretary.

Lancaster, Pa.

Jan. 8.— Some retail florists are inclined
to take it as a slur on their profession
when you say that their business depends
on funeral work. This is the correct atti-
tude, but none the less when one cuts out
this work there is a decided hole left in
the week's business.

Trade Rather Slow

This is what has happened in Lan-
caster the past week. As one florist put
it "no weddings and few fimerals." The
bulk of the trade is "Say it with Flowers,"
with rather a strong inclination to say
it with a plant. Trade cannot be called
really dull, but it is slow, consequently

right now is the time to increase the
advertising appropriation 50 to 100 pter
cent. The time to advertise most heavily
is when business is inclined to be dull;
when everything is booming space can be
reduced without hindrance to the busi-
ness.

The H. D. Rohrer establishment under
the supervision of Harry K. Rohrer is
fast becoming noted as one of the Primula
Forbesii centers of the United States. Our
Lancaster florists also have awakened up
to the fact that this is one of the best
things they can handle in the plant line,
so that it now represents about 50 per
cent of the plant sales of this city.
Don't Display Poor Stock

One of the shops here that is usually
noted for its fine collection of plants, has
on display a small lot of Christmas left-
overs in the shape of Cherries and Poin-
settas with hardly any foliage. The re-
sulting dilapidated appearance certainly
does not add to the appearance of the
store, nor contribute to the proper mental
attitude of the customer. In the language
of System: "If I were a store man, I
would never have anything but the best
of my plants and flowers on display; all
inferior stock would be moved at a price
fair to the customer no matter what loss
it represented to me, and if too far gone
it would be thrown out so as not to de-
tract from the flourishing appearance of
my store."

Down at Weaverland the world is com-
ing back fast and the thousands of Sweet
Peas picked here daily give evidence of
better days for 1921. This is the home
of Sweet Pea novelties, the establishment
of Chas. M. Weaver being visited by
Sweet Pea experts from all over this sec-
tion. Elmer Weaver has branched out
into Pilgrim Hoses and Mushrooms, but
has not given up his first love. Carna-
tions. A number of Carnation novelties
are being tried out and visitors interested
in this line come from all points along
the Lincoln Highway.

At the B. F. Barr Nurseries the work
of getting out the annual catalogue is just
about completed and Mr. De Hertoge is
busy with blue prints and estimates on
work for the coming Spring montlis. Busi-
ness is not as active as it was a year
ago but the establishment has every rea-
son to expect its full share of what is to
be had and is anticipating a good year.

J. H. Linkey, who is one of the main
sources of supply for the Columbia market,
is sporting a new International truck that
for beauty of design and capacity for
carrying stock is hard to beat. Along with
his greenhouse ornamental stock he grows
quantities of vegetables and finds the
combination a paying one for the man
who tends market Albeet M. Here.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Trade Conditions

The first week of the New Year
has passed without anything startling
having happened in the florist business.
The supply, with few exceptions, has been
equal to all demands, and the principal
demand has been for flowers suitable for
fimeral work.

American Beauty is in short supply and
no doubt will be that way for some
time to come. The supply of all Roses

runs mostly to the long fancy stock, with

the demand calling for short and medium.

Premier, Coliunbi a and Butterfly are

seen only in the longer grades and, while

i the quality is good, at times they are

I hard to move. One thing noticed this

I season has been the call of the trade for

I Pink Kallarney, but, with few exceptions,

^ the growers have discarded it for the new

varieties. Ophelia, Simburst, Hilda,

Maryland, Kichmond and Double Wliite

Killarney are arriving in limited quantity

and clean up daily.

The supply of Easter Lilies is on the
increase and finds a market waiting on
them; Carnations are still in short supply
and it looks as if this condition would
last all season; Jonquils made their first
appearance last week, and proved very
popular; they sold on sight. Sweet Peaa
are coming into their own — the bright
weather of the past two weeks causmg
them to improve greatly both in quantity
and (luality.

Violets are very good, but they drag
and are hard to move, and the least said
about Paperwhite Narcissus the better,
as they are selling at prices that cannot
possibly let the grower out with a whole
skin.

Baby Primrose and Calendula are in
oversupply and meet with an indifferent
demand, but Valley now coming in, the
finest seen in years, meets a demand that
absorbs it all.

The plumosa supply has been short since
Christmas, but is fast getting back to
normal.

Odd Notes

The Frederick Flower Shop of East
Pittsburgh was completely destroyed by
fire on Thursday night, Jan. 6, caused
by an overheated gas stove. The family
living over the store had a hard time
escaping with their lives, and from all
reports, so far as the store is concerned
everything is a total loss.

The McCallum Co. is again receiving
consignments of Primrose malacoides
plants from H. D. Rohrer of Lancaster,
Pa. They handle these plants every year
for Mr. Rohrer and have built up a large
demand for them.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Pittsburgh Retail Florists' Association was
postponed from Jan. 6 to Jan. 13, at which
time a big turnout is expected.

DeForest Ludwig, of the E. C. Ludwig
Floral Co., is again able to be about, after
a two weeks' illness. E. C. Tipto??.

Meeting and Banquet 3

The regular meeting of the club
was held on Thursday, Jan. 6, at the Cut
Flower Exchange, President Edward
Tracey in the chair. The newly elected
officers, Samuel Hansen, president ; H. B.
Eberhardt, vice-president ; Louis H.
Schaefer, secretary-treasurer, were duly
escorted to their stations. Fifty-six
members answered the roll call. The fol-
lowing names were handed in for nomi-
nation: A. Hillery, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
Clifford, F. Collier, Albany, N. Y. ; C. M.
Haskins, Watervliet, N. Y. On motion
made and carried, the by-laws were sus-
pended for this meeting and these appli-
cants were elected active members, to-
gether with Ethan A. Coon and Theo.
Kelliher. The secretary read his report
for the past year, which showed active
members in good standing, 90 ; new mem-
bers taken in, 23 ; honorary members, 5.
The financial statement was excellent.
The report was well received, it being the
best since the club started, 15 years ago.
The entertainment committee reported
that it bad made all arrangements for
the annual banquet. On adjournment
of the meeting, the members left and
proceeded in a body to the banquet hall
of the Hampton Hotel, which was decor-
ated with palms, ferns and Smilax. The
tables were decorated with Roses, Poin-
1 settias and plants of all kinds, furnished
I by members of the club. Thomas Tracey
j was appointed toastmaster by President
Hansen. James Kichrens of Henry A.
Dreer, Philadelphia, was requested to
make a few remarks. He complimented
Ex-president Edward Tracey for the
good work the club accomplished during
his term, and at the close, presented him
with a case containing a gold pen and
pencil, given by the members of the

Cutting Pussy Willow

Kindly say how long Pussy Willo-w
should be cut before sending to market.
What temperature is necessary to develop
the blooms? C. S. C, N. J.— It largely
depends upon the variety, the locality and
the temperature used. Some growers
commence cutting early in December. The
earlier it is cut, the longer it takes to
develop. At this time of the year, when
the trees are dormant, the shoots may
take several weeks to develop in a tem-
perature of 50 deg. or so; in March it
would be a matter of days. Cut the wood
and bunch, placing in cans of water and
keep in a fairly shaded position away
from draughts. An average temperature
of 50 deg. will be enough. Change the
water at frequent intervals. If you find
the buds developing too fast, drop the
temperature, or, increase it if too slow.
The buds should just be showing their
dovra when sent to market. If too far
expanded it is of less value, and is more
liable to damage when shipped. Es-
^rience will soon show you that the
Willow is a most tractable subject.

National Publicity Campaign

We are now entering the fourth year
of the national advertising campaign, and
the outlook for the year is most encourag-
ing.

We are confident that every subscriber
to this fund appreciates the value of na-
tional advertising, and it is difficult to
understand why any florist interested in
increasing his business has not identified
himself with this movement.

You must not get the impression that
the well disposed florists who have sub-
scribed so generously to this fund will
continue to do so year after year, unless
you do your part. Tne campaign is most
worthy of the serious consideration of all
in the trade.

tance. At the meeting of the committee
to be held in Washington, D. C, during
the week of Jan. 24, plans will be ar-
ranged for carrying on the work with
vigor during this year.

Toronto, Ont.

Jan. 8. — Since Christmas stock has
been very scarce. Orders are keeping up
remarkably well. George M. Geraghty,
who has been ill since Christmas and has
just returned to the store, states that his
staff has been very busy. There has been
considerable out-of-town business and a
great deal of design work, some of the
designs being very costly and beautiful.
It has been difficult to fill some of these
orders owing to shortage of stock.

W. H. Gray of Dundas says that now
that the myth about slack Christmas trade
has been disproved by the enormous sales
I which cleared out all the stock in the
retail stores, florists should lay their
plans for a big Easter trade.

In an interview, W. G. Peacock of the
Dale Estate, Brampton, states that the
hours of laborers have been reduced to
eight daily, for five days per week. Orchids
are increasing in favor and nearly 5,000
were sold for the Christmas trade. This
illustrates the growing popularity of a
fiower for which there was no demand a
few years ago. Violets are very scarce.

Mrs. Turp of Dunlop's Limited, who
has been ill for the past two months,
is again at the store.

G. W. Warren has issued a beautiful
calendar to his customers. A lady with
a bimch of Violets carries the message to
"Say it with flowers."

The nest meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Ass'n will be held on Jan. 17.
G. C. K.

the up-to-date
florist —

gives great thought
and consideration to
the way in which he
"dresses up" his plants
and flowers for delivery —

^ in the floral business
"impression" is of more
than ordinary impor-
tance.

^ that is why so many
florists who are keen to
keep abreast of the
times use these classic
jardinieres for their

cut flowers
potted plants
ferns
baskets

^ they cost so little
that any florist can use
them to^advantage

The Market

Jan. 11. — The general arrivals of
■cut flowers in the wholesale cut flower
market today are not above medium with
the exception perhaps of Gardenias, Lily
■of the Valley, Cattleyas and Sweet Peas.
The general tone of the market as re-
.gards demand is not very active ; it differs
little from that of last week and there
is little change in prices.

American Beauty Roses are in moder-
ate supply and are meeting with a mildly
active demand at about last week's prices,
certainly not higher, namely, 60c. to $1
each for special grade blooms and the
other grades at proportionate prices, j
Other Roses are in medium to light sup- '
ply ; top grade blooms are selling at 12c.
to 60c. each and No. 2 grade at 5c. to '
15e. each. The demand for the No. 2 ,
to extra grades continues to be altogether \
larger than for the higher grades.
There are now coming into the market
from some growers many heretofore un- I
heard of grades such as 2x, 3x, 4x, special,
exhibition special, and 2x exhibition
special, we are informed. These choice I
Roses, which are grown, of course, at .
great expense, suffer more as regards de- i
mand and sales than any other kind or j
variety of flower coming into the mar- i
ket and are frequently left unsold, be- |
cause retailers are satisfied with the ]
Roses of not so high a quality which are, j
nevertheless, good and can be purchased r
at much lower prices. The result is these I
very high grade Roses are, in many cases, |
finally sold at prices received for ex- '
tras and fancies. Blooms of such va- '
rieties as Columbia, Ophelia, Premier and I
Key are included in this category.

Carnations also are in moderate sup-
ply, but are not moving well and prices
are weaker. Select grade blooms are
averaging- $6 to $8, and culls to ordina-
ries, $4 to $5 per 100. The variety Lad-
die is selling for §12 to $15 per 100.

Cattleyas are in much larger supply
and, as there is no corresponding in-
crease in the demand, prices have taken
a great tumble, the range being today at
from 25c. to 75c., each in general, the
75c. being hard to get.

Cypripediums and Oncidiums are meet-
ing with a weak demand ; the former at
$3 to $4 per doz. and the latter at $8
to $10 per 100 flowers. Lily of the Val-
ley is in large supplv and moving at re-
duced prices, about $3 to $6 a 100 for
l)looms of excellent quality. There is a
steady supply of Gardenias coming in ;
these are selling at $1 to $6 per doz. The
medium supply of white and pink Lilies is
bringing respectively $20 to $25 and $10
to $15 per 100; they are not going out at

The array of bulbous flowers consid-
erably increased. The list comprises
Callas, a few Freesias, Iris, Paperwhites,
Trumpet Major and Golden Spur Daffo-
dils and Tulips ; all are meeting with a
moderate demand at quoted prices.

There are few additions to the miscella-
neous flowers. These comprise Antirrhi-
num, Buddleia. Calendula, white and yel-
low Daisies, Lilac, just beginning to ap-
pear in the market ; Mignonette in a
little larger supply ; Myosotis, Pansies,
Stevia, Sweet Peas and Violets, all of
which are meeting with a medium de-
mand.

Greens of all kinds are moving in gen-
eral sympathy with the demand for cut
flowers.

Flower Shoixr Notes

The opening schedule of the In-
ternational Flower Show has been com-
pleted and is being distributed. Anyone
not receiving a copy of this schedule can

obtain one upon application to Secretary
Young, 43 W. 18th st.

Secretary Young reports that there has ^
been a big call for the posterettes to be
used on letters, envelopes, etc., to ad-
vertise the International FJower Show.
The first supply of 250,000 of these poster-
ettes has been used up, and 150,000 more
have been ordered and will be ready in
about three weeks; a supply may then
be obtained upon application. .

In a recent conversation with Arthur
Herrington, manager of the In,ternationaI
Flower Show, about the prospects for the
show, we were glad to hear Mr. Herring-
ton express himself very optimisticallj'. ]
He told us that the outlook was excel-
lent for the largest and best International '
Flower Show ever held in this city, and
that the entries for the show, up to date,
in all classes, are far ahead of what they
have been previous years at this time.

There will be, Mr. Herrington says,
a tea garden as usual, and Miss Ruth Mor-
gan, Mrs. D. R. Draper and Mrs. Belmont
Tiffany, who have been interested in this
garden at the previous shows, will oe
in charge this ycu-r. The Garden dub
of America, Mr. Herrington informs us,
will cooperate and offer a gold medal for
the most meritorious exhibit in the show
:ind, furthermore, this club expects to have
a room where they will show stereopticon
views of the best examples of the dif-
ferent types of gardens and garden
planting.

Mr. Herrington says the New York
Backyard Garden Club, of which Mrs.
F. L. Metcalf is president, is arrang-
ing a large window box display in competi-
tion to form a decorative feature, also
of the balustrades at the main entrance
of the Grand Central Palace. i

President Hensliaw Convalescing |

A. N. Henshaw, president of the
N. Y. F. C. and of the Henshaw Floral i
Co., 43 W. ISth St., was taken home
from the Overlook Hospital at Summit,
N. J., on Friday of last week. On Tues- '
day morning. Secretary Yoimg tells us,
when he called up Mr. Henshaw's home
to convey to him the congratulations of the
X. Y. F. C. on his recovery. President
Henshaw, himself, answered the 'phone
iiving that he was pleased to receive the
message, and conversing in a cheerful
tone. I

Miss Agnes Anna Kessler, eldest daugh- !
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip P. Kessler
of Jackson ave. and Eighth St., Wood-
side, L. I., is on the road to recovery at
the Washington Square Hospital, New
York, following an operation for appen-
dicitis.

Heficlirysums (Straw Flowers) appear
to be coming into use with the florists
to a greater extent than heretofore. We
note that Badgely & Bishop, 43 W. 18th
St., are receiving regular shipments ot"
these flowers from, California growers for
whom they are acting as direct agents.

We were glad to note this week some
remarkably fine blooms of that favorite
old flower, the Gardenia, at John Young
& Co., 43 W. 18th St. This firm is re-
ceiving a steady supply of this flower
and also of Lily of the Valley and
Cattleyas.

We noted this week the first Lilac
of the season at W. P. Ford's, 107 W.
28th St. Mr. Ford is receiving a regular
supply of this beautiful flower from some
of the most successful and largest forcers
of Lilac in this coxmtry.

Freesias, both the white flowered and
the colored varieties, were seen at the
store of the United Cut Flower Co., Ill
W. 28 St.

Wm. Kessler, wholesale florist, 113 W.
28th St., and Mrs. Kessler, left on Fri-
day of this week oy rail for Miami, Fla.,
for a month or six weeks' Winter vaca-
tion and rest. The good wishes of all tlie
trade, it is safe to say, certainly go with
Mr. and Mrs. Kessler, and it is hoped

We noted for the first time this sea-
son, this week, Dutch Hyacinths, both in
the pot and cut. Both the plants and
blooms are of escellent quality and ap- |
parently come from what are called the
jtrepared Hyacinth bulbs for early flower-
ing, which the Holland growers offer each
Autumn. These plants and flowers were
seen at the store of S. C. Gilbert, tne
Traveling Wholesale Florist, 43 W. 18th st.

Secretary John Young was recently in
receipt of a souvenir postal card from
that oldtime wholesale florist, Chas. Mil-
lang. The postal was from San Diego,
Calif., where Mr. Millang is now located,
and it showed on its face a flowered
bordered entrance to the Mission Cliff
Gardens, at San Diego, Calif. We do not
mind saying that the sight of tuis picture
made us wish that we were there, too.
Mr. Millang's many friends in the trade

>lje that California climate and the
much needed rest that he may obtain there
will bring to him a complete restoration
of health.

At J. J. Coan's, 43 W. 18th st., Tulips
were noted in several colors, of the high-
est quality we have seen this season.
These were from the growing establish-
ment of A. Buchholz, Woodside, L. 1.,
where a specialty has been made for
many years of forcing bulbs into bloom.

The chairman of the New York F, C.
transportation committee requests im-
mediate reservations from those who are
planning to be in Washington for the
meetings of the American Carnation So-
ciety and the National Flower Growers'
Association on the 26th and 27th. Time
of leaving and rates have been an-
nounced in previous issues. Reservations
from those who leave with the New York
party at midnight, Tuesday, the 25th,
should reach him not later than the 20th.
Those who find it necessary to be in
Washington earlier in the week will
please have their reservations in not later
than the ISth. Address C. Lowther, Bos

The Market

Jan. 10. — The mild shortage of
stock which set in about ten days ago is
still with us at this writing and, accord-
ing to reports from many growers, is
likely to keep on for some time. The
Carnation growers in particular, do not
seem able to explain why crops are not
coming along better. Trade conditions in
the market have been about normal, the
retailers and the wholesale houses ab-
sorbing everything in sight early every
morning. The inauguration ceremonies
for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor
did not affect the flower trade as much
as other years. The time when rampant
political admirers would swamp the in-
coming officers with cartloads of mon-
ster floral horseshoes, horns of plenty and
similar devices, is no more. The offerings
nowadays are considerably less in num-
ber, and consist mostly of elegant, large
baskets fiUed with choicest Roses, orchids
and other flne flowers.

Prices in the market have advanced in
a number of lines, or at least held their
own, with the exception of Violets, which
flowers are now a little more plentiful.

In American Beauty Roses the trans-
actions are very limited in the market.
Prices are from 16c. for No. 2, to $1.50
for specials. All Roses are at present of
superior quality ; long stem grades pre-
dominating. With the exception of Kil-
larneys, most all varieties are making
15c. up, for 12in. to 15in. grades ; 30c. to
3oc. is the top flgure for such kinds as
Hadley, Columbia, Premier, etc. Dun-
lop is offered in very small lots and no-
body seems to get excited about it. Ma-
dame Butterfly is well received and grow-
ing in favor. Cecil Brunner has fallen
short of demand and is selling for 4c.

The Carnation men have no reason to
complain so far as returns are concerned.
The supply is just about meeting de-
mand, so that prices are easily kept on
a level ; 8c. to 10c. has been the rulinj^
price for ordinary good Carnations. This
includes such kinds as Matchless, Morn-
ing Glow, Beacon, etc. Benora and
Ward bring 12c. and Rosalia 15c. to 16c.,
Laddie also belongs in this class, although
extra good flowers of this variety are
often held for ISc. and make it in some
instances. Carnations are very good in
quality.

Callas are arriving more freely, meet-
ing with a good demand at $4 per doz.
Iris are also appearing in good sized lots;
they are quickly sold at $6 to $8 per
doz. Acacia Baileyana also is coming in
in increasing quantity. The askingr price
is $3 to $5 per bunch, according to size.

[BOSTON— Continued from page J54

Paperwhite Narcissus seem to have slack-
ened up in supply somewhat and the price
has gone up to 5c. and 6c. Golden Spur
Narcissus are arriving occasionally, sell-
ing for 16c. "White Lilies are scarce
again and have advanced to 30c. and 35c.
Pansies find a good demand at 3c. to
4c., while Violets have had a set-back bring-
ing now only l^^c. to 2. Xellow Daisies
and whites too are not abundant, and sell
for good money. There is a limited
amount of Mignonette, Wallflowers, Snap-
dragons, etc., at slightly higher prices.
The demand for these odds and ends is
normal. Among the rarer offerings, we
find a rather large supply of all the
oldfashioned sorts of Camellias which
are prominently featured in some of the
best stores. There are also small lots of
Daphne odorata and sprays of the beati-
tiful red Euphorbia jacqueimeflora, Sweet
Peas are beginning to make their pres-
ence felt ; those arriving now are well
grown, long stemmed flowers of fine
quality. TThey are much appreciated, the
best selling for 3c. to 5c.

In orchids, the supply is below normal.
Cattleyas offer only limited _ lots of
Trianje and some hybrids ; prices run-
ning all the way from $1 to $2, and over.
Cypripediums in variety are more plenti-
ful, and an increased demand holds the
price a little higher than last week, at
$3 to $4 per doz. Stevia, which has had
an enormous sale, is becoming ess con-
spicuous and commands as much as $1
per bunch if extra good and badly wanted.
There is the usual supply of both kinds
of Asparagus at normal prices. A few
pans of Hyacinths are seen here and
there. The weather has been remarkable
these last eight or ten days ; mild with

bright sunshine for days at a stretch
and just enough of a cold snap at night
to remind us mortals that the worst is
yet to come.

Florists Association Meets

The Florists Association of Boston
held its first meeting of the new year at
the City Club on Jan. 5 — a meeting that
proved one of the most practical and con-
structive in its history. A very good
attendance was recorded and, apparently,
the society has decided to make this year
one of progress and achievement. Un-
fortunately, for various reasons an un-
mistakable degree of stagnation has mani-
fested itself during the past few months
and has hampered the efforts of the as-
sociation's officers and members. Such a
I state of affairs was, of course, not to be
tolerated and the best minds of the asso-
ciation— which means the best minds of
Boston's florist world — got their dander up
and proposed to take nold anew. There
is every reason to believe that, with this
re-awakened spirit behind it, the associa-
tion will become, as it should, the most
important trade organization of florists
in New England.

j New OfiB.ceTS Installed

The meeting was opened by President
j Henry Penn who, with the assistance of
the other 1920 officers, introduced and in-
stalled the new incumbents as follows,
! each of whom made his own little speech:
\ President, B. Letson, Boston; vice-presi-
j dent, Frank Gibbs, Lynn; secretary, Wm.
\ J. Thurston, Belmont; financial secret ry,
' Frank Edgar, Waverly; treasurer, F. E.
Palmer, Brookline.

The main topic of the evening was
"How best to improve general trade con-

ditions and promote the welfare of the
association and each of its members." Af-
ter lively, good natured discussion it was
resolved to create three standing commit-
tees which shall report the results of
their investigations to the secretary, the
reports to be at the dispose! of any mem-
ber at any time. The first committee will
get in touch with the growers and will
list those who grow the different crops
of plants and flowers and in what quanti-
ties. This will enable the secretary to
answer prospective buyers' inquiries and
to direct them to the sellers; also to in-
form interested growers as to the extent
of the proposed or actual production of
any line of plants or flowers.

Another committee is to get in touch
with the retail storemen and learn what
plants or flowers may be required during
the season or for special events. This
information, too, shomd prove of immense
benefit to the grower, preventing him
from devoting space, time and labor to
growing stock which it is inopportune or ,
unprofitable to offer. i

Both of the above plans represent co- |
operation in its fullest sense; both are i
practical and beneficial and, once grasped
and understood by the members, they will
redound to the benefit and a future ;
growth of the association. Proper open i
discussion of the above subjects at the
monthly meetings will undoubtedly bring
good results to all concerned.

A third committee of live and willing |
workers has undertaken to bring in new j
members, to insure the success of the
movements and that the association may
gain in weight and power.

Change of Name and Meeting Date

One important feature of the meet-
ing was the change of the association's
name. It was felt that "The Boston
Florists Association" suggests to outsiders
a strictly local body and prevents it from
figuring much on members from a dis-
tance. To remedy this, it was voted that
the association, from this date on, will
exist under the name of "The New Eng-
land Florists' Association."

Because the former meeting time — the
first Tuesday in the month — conflicts with
that of many meetings of other prominent
societies, this also was changed to the
second Tuesday of the month.

During the bountiful and excellent sup-
per many appropriate toasts and cheery
words were delivered which, in conjunc-
tion with the beautiful decorations, con-
sisting of Euphorbia jacquiuEeflora sprays
and Primroses from^ Herman Bartsch,
manager of W. W. Edgar Co., contributed
much to an altogether pleasant evening.

City Notes

Philip Feinstein, the florist of near
the North Station, who is still under medi-
cal care at the hospital where he was
taken a number of days ago, was pleas-
antly surprised with a fine basket of
choice fruit and flowers from the salesmen
at the market. He seems to be gaining
and hopes are entertained for an early
full recovery.

Harry Ward, at the Exchange Flower
Market, was the first this season with
Freesias. They come from Frank F. Lloef-
fler of Holbrook, who also shipped in fine
Cyclamen and Begonias during Christ-
mas week.

Wm. Paterson of Wallaston has opened
a branch store in the neighboring city
of Quincy at li40 Hancock st. Mr. Pater-
son is greatly pleased with the business
done these last few weeks, both at the
new store and at the home place. He has
a considerable amoxmt of glass and is
one of the oldest and most respected
growers near Boston. As usual he is mak-
ing preparations for a humming Spring
trade in annuals and bedding plants.

Peter Hylen of Randolph has become
one of the mainstays of the market in the
line of Tulips, Hyacinths and Narcissi.
He has just shipped to his salesman, Moe
Leibman at the Exchange Flower Market,
the first Golden Spur of the season. Mr.
Hylen is a specialist and expert in the
growing of bi^bs, his houses being almost
entirely devoted to the forcing of these
flowers. His bulb storage house, built a
year or two ago, is a model in all respects.

Until last week Moe Leibman held the
record for punctuality. Ever since he
started as salesman in the Flower Ex-
change Market over eight years ago, 7
o'clock sbarp would find him awaiting
the opening of the portals, and no sales-
man ever put foot inside ahead of him.
But the mighty has fallen. No more will
the bovs set their watches by Moe's ar-
rival. For a full half hour, about a week
ago, the market had to go on without

him, and poor Moe has not heard the last
of it yet.

B. A. McGinty at the Co-operative Mar- *|
ket is again selling the whole output of the
Quidnick greenhouses, which concern,
about four years ago, undertook to do ita
own selling "to save expenses/' as it
thought. The greenhouses cover some 185,-
000 sq. ft., and produce a general as-
sortment of plants and flowers. Two nrw
consignors to Mr. McGinty are Frank J.
Carter of Natick and A. M. Beckwith
of South Sudbury. The latter is shipping
exceptionally fine Calendula and Carna-
tions.

There's no use talking, the Comborer
is about the best hated "animile" over
a great part of Massachusetts and neigh-
boring States. Its ravages are well
realized and the interference with the
shipping trade caused by the quarantine,
affecting flowers and plants, makes many
an otherwise peaceful florist swear. Only
the other day the writer had it explained
to him how a florist, whose place was de-
clared absolutely free of the pest, got
his field infected. Said florist oought a
lot of green manure nearby and found that
it was literally alive with the insects,
which had made their home in the corn-
stalks fed to the cattle. As everyone
knows, cows will always leave a lot of
waste when eating stalks and in this waste
fodder the pest is carried from place to
place.

Gardeners and Florists Dance in
February

The executive committee of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Boston
has announced Feb. 3 as the date for
its annual banquet and ball at Horticul-
tural Hall, for which a fine program has
been arranged. Tickets will cost $2 each.
On Jan. 18, the date of the monthly meet-
ing, the club will celebrate ladies' night.
Talented artists, both local and profes*
sional, are sure to give a fine entertain-
ment as always. A good orchestra haa '
been engaged for the dance which ia to •
follow and a bountiful collation will be i
served. Ladies' nights have always been i
well attended, pleasant affairs, and the •
coming one is expected to beat them all.
The Commonwealth Avenue Conserva-
tories, a new organization, proposes to >
locate in Newton Centre, Mass., where '
greenhouses, office and salesrooms are to >
be erected and a general florist trade i
and landscape gardening business are to
be carried on. Well kno-wn men of wide i
experience have charge of the enterprise.

B. S. Gorney, ex-sec'y of the Boston
Florist Association ( now the Florists'
Association of New England), has received
an appeal from the chairman of the Com-
mittee on Daylight Saving which is solicit-
ing the support of all commercial firms
willing to advocate Daylight Saving legis-
lation in the Eastern States. A bill has
just been introduced proposing the repeal
of this law. Greater activity is therefore
needed on the part of individuals and
organizations if Daylight Saving is to
be made a permanent institution,

Thomas F. Galvin had a good share
of the decorations and floral tributes in
connection with the inauguration of Gov.
Cox and Lieut. Gov. Fuller on Dec. 30.
The decorations consisted mostly of

palms, foliage plants and Begonias, but
a large nmnber of beautiful, large baskets
of American Beauty and Hadley Roses,
were also used. The store has a supply
of all the choice varieties of Camellias
for whicli the present demand is ex-
cellent. A large wreath, made entirely
of white Camellias made a most impres-
sive piece. The show windows this week
are very attractive. One contains a tall
vase or hamper filled with a loose ar-
rangement of Odontoglossums, Laelias and
Cymbidiums in choice varieties, enlivened
with long sprays of Acacias. Another dis-
plays low baskets with Camellias, Orchids,
Lily of the Valley and Cypripediums.
Orders for funeral work, including several
costly casket covers, have been numerous.

Fenn's F. T. B. Business in 1920

Henry Penn thinks that a Christ-
mas even better than that of 1919 is
"some Christmas." For a few moments
this last year he almost thought it would
not excel the one that went before, but
it did by a good margin. "Here are the
bills from the Western Union Telegraph
Co. Look them over and see what you can
see," said Mr. Penn, when the writer
dropped in the other day. There were noted
charges for 352 orders sent, through the
company in December and netting it
$211.72. They went to every State in the
Union, to Canada, to France and England;
to Vancouver, Wichita, Winnipeg, Miami,
Tacoma, Pasadena, Seattle, Phoenix,
Memphis and many places in between.
"And yet," said Mr. Penn, "there are men
who do not believe in the Florist Tele-
graph Delivery! Every one of those orders
was an F. T. D. order and Inmdreds of
others came in which were delivered from
the store. Since Christmas business has
been good, especially funeral trade. The
store is featuring a sale of Narcissus in
the show windows where the bulbs are
displayed in all sorts of containers. The
resulting trade is more than satisfactory.
J. J. O'Brien always has a good run
on oldfashioned bouquets; the other day
an order for 36 of the largest size had
to be filled in three hours. The store
makes a Fall and Winter specialty of
evergreens in pots, and this season dis-

posed of several carloads in a very short
time. These range from Gin. plants (for
window boxes) to 15 ft. specimens in big
urns, for porch decorations. Mr. O'Brien
makes several trips to the nurseries every
year to personally pick out this material.
Damage estimated at $3,500 was caused
by a fire late in the afternoon of Jan.
3, in the one and one-half story wood
and brick building at 179 Kenrick st., used
as a greenhouse by W. H. Elliott, a Rose
grower. The blaze started from some
hot ashes that came in contact with the
woodwork in the boiler room in the lower
part of the building.

The Market

The market has been somewhat
slow for the past week, the supply and
demand about even, with the exception
of Roses, on which tbe demand is con-
siderably in excess of the supply. Ap-
parently all tbe growers bit Christmas
with a full crop. Shorts and medium
are bringing top prices, with specials and
long a shade under Christmas prices.
Carnations sell up close at 6c. to lOe.
with a medium supply. Tbe increased
arrivals of Cattleyas have lowered their
returns considerably. The first of tbe
Freesia is bringing Sc, but Acacia pubes-
cens is tbe novelty of tbe week. There
is an ample supply of Easter Lilies ; these
are clearing well at list prices. The in-
creasing supply of Sweet Peas is in ac-
tive demand at 2c. to some very fine stock
at 4c. Trumpet major Dafliodils are sell-
ing up close at 8e. and 10c. ; Paperwhite
Narcissus continue slow. There is a
good sprinkling of Valley and an ample
supply of Gardenias. All greens are
abundant.

The news of the death of E. H. Mazey,
Minneapolis, Minn., was received on the
Chicago market Friday with much re-
gret. He was a frequent visitor and a
l3.rc6 buyer*

Arthur Schwerin of the Burlington
Willow Ware Shops, is in the city. Mc
is quite optimistic as to the business tor
the present year, and says that Burling-
ton WiUow Ware baskets are being used
in every State in the Union.

The "Say it with Flowers' stamps fo;
Valentine's Day have been put on sale by
Hilmer V. Swenson, director of the Flor-
ists' Publicity Service, 225 N. Michi-
gan ave. A strong campaign will be
made to boost the sale of these and also
folders, posters, movie slides, and cuts
for newspaper advertising. A handsome
circular of all these aids in advertis-
ing flowers for Valentine's Day is being
mailed to the trade at large.

The novelty exhibition and dance to be
given by the Florists' Club on Thursday
evening Feb. 3, is a matter of much in-
terest to the local trade. Two floors in
the Randolph Hotel have been secured,
one for the dance and the other for the
exhibition and business meeting. .

When W. H. Schneider was initiated
as treasurer of the club Thursday night
he said he had been waiting for the job
for a long time. He joined the club when
it was one year old and has been an active
member ever since. The club was 38
years old last installation night, and now
has 288 active members.

The use of artificial flowers is fast |
becoming an important topic with the lo- \
cal trade. Some lively discussions on
the subject may be expected in the near
future when the supply men and the
growers and wholesalers will be given
an opportunity to present their views for
or against the general use of such ma-
terials in retail stores. It is the prevail-
ing opinion that a distinction must be
made between artificial' flowers and the
natural material preserved for decora-
tive purposes. Cycas leaves. Magnolia
foliage. Oak sprays, etc., have become
such an important part of the trade ac-
cessories that they cannot be done with-
out. It is the paper Carnations, the wax
Eoses, the velvet orchids and the tin
wreaths against which opposition will
be directed.

In the orchid collection at Lincoln
Park conservatories that head gardener
W. .T. O'CarroU is developing into one
of the best in the country, there are at
present in full bloom some handsome
specimens of Lselia anceps, an old fa-
vorite of easy culture. In this group are
also some plants of Lselia anceps alba and
L. superbiens, all well flowered.

The Market

The reports all indicate a fair busi-
ness ; fair demand and fair supply. There
is an over supply of white Carnations
and Narcissus, but other stocks seem
about right. Roses are about the same
in price as last week ; a trifle more plen-
tiful in short and medium grades. Car-
nations are in good crop. Fancy Ward j
and Enchantress bold up in favor and ,
price. Violets, single, are steady and in |
fair supply, but Callas are still on the
short side. Orchids are in fair supply
and good demand ; Sweet Peas more
plentiful, the price ranging from $2 to
$3 per 100. Hyacinths are good and are
offered at oc. to 6c. Easter Lilies are
holding their price of last week. Smilax
is a trifle more plentiful and there is
plenty of Asparagus. i

Ne\(rs Notes |

Dennis Connor of Lord & Bur-
ham's, Phfladelphia office, was in town
lastweek.

Lower and lower comes the price of
coal. The dealers are hunting custom-
ers about the greenhouses now.

Lohr & Pritze are surely cutting fine
Double White Killarney Roses.

Philip B. Welsh of Glen Morris, is
sending to S. S. Pennock Co. some extra
fancy Enchantress Carnations.

August R. Tischinger has just started
to repot into 6's, his big batch of Cinera-
rias for Easter ; they look very promis-
ing.

Send your name in at once to Wm. F.
Ekas if you intend joining the big
party that will go over to Washington
for the Carnation show.

The social activity last week ran bigb

The Florists' Club Meetinp-

Tbe regular monthly meeting was
held on Monday evening, Jan, 10, at the
club rooms in the Royal Arcanum Build-
ing, and was called promptly to order at

5 o'clock by Pres. Robert L. Graham,
Jr. It is seldom, if ever, there was a
more congenial and happier gathering of
young and old members. More than 50
were present, all thankful and appre-
ciative of a good big holiday business, and
the prospect of a splendid business year
in 1921.

The minutes of the previous meeting
having been accepted. Secretary Bob Pat-
terson read the nominations for memlDer-
ship, and Clarence Ritter of J. A. Ritter

6 Son and C. F. Schwartz of Laura-
ville were duly elected. Unfinished busi-
ness was then called for by President

Graham. Bob once more arose, saying,
''We wlU sing one more hymn and then
pass the plate." Before calling the num-
ber, he explained that the "Say it with
Flowers" Week Committee had reported
some small late accounts unpaid. In a
jiffy he had enough volunteer contribu-
tions to cover, and cleaned the slate with-
out giving out the number of the hymn,
tinder the call for new business. Clay
Primrose presented a proposition that
was immediately given a careful hear-
ing. The suggestion was that the club
extend invitations to the various garden
clubs and amateur flower lovers in Mary-
land to become associate members of the
Florists Club of Baltimore, thereby add-
ing to the club's personnel and prestige,
for holding monthly flower shows and
lectures, ending up with a big "Say it
with Flowers" Week and Chrysanthe-
mum show in the Fall. Quite a lengthy
discussion followed, ended by Wm. F.
Ekas proposing the appointment of a
committee to confer upon the advisability
of the suggestion and to report at the
next meeting. Pres. Graham appointed
John J. Perry, Robert L. Graham, Wm.
Keir, Clay Primrose, George Morrison
and Robert Halliday to serve.

The proposed trip to Washington Jan.
26 to attend the Carnation meeting and
show was then discussed and a commit-
tee on transportation and arrangements
was called for. Wm. F. Ekas was made
chairman, with Charles M. Wagner, J.
De Groot and Robert W. Johnston as
committeemen. Mr. Ekas is rounding up
the members and he hopes for at least
100 members and friends.

Joseph S. Merritt as chairman of the
publicity committee was called upon for
a report. Joe made the speech of the
evening, with minute details of the work
and accomplishments of the committee.
The speech was enthusiastically received
by the members. The unquestioned ability
of this committee and the able coopera-
tion of the Deatel Advertising Service
deserves a place in the records of the
"Success Club." Joe is looking forward
to renewed efforts the coming year and is
planning lots of new business. Upon
motion of John Perry the meeting ad-
journed.— R. H.

Chrysanthemums for Pots

Kindly say what are the best early
midseason and late 'Mums for pots, in
white, pink, yellow and bronze.

—J. J., Philadelphia.

The best Chrysanthemums for grow-
ing in the greenhouses, are the kind
known as the Cap family, which covers
all colors and they are ideal in habit
and growth. The following list of a dozen
and a half varieties are all good and
desirable for pot plants, as they are all
dwarf, easily handled, and produce good
results: Source d'Or, Tints of Gold,
Brutus, Lady Lydia, Polly Rose, Glory
of Pacific, Lizzie Adcoek, Chieftain.
Many growers have excellent success
growing Pompons and Singles, as pot
plants. A few of the most reliable would be
as follows: Singles, Mrs. Buckingham, Ida
K. Skift, Charlotte Wait, Bronze Buck-
ingham, Lily Neville, Mensa. Pompons —
Mariana. White Doty, Rose Trevenna,
Lillian Doty, Zenobia, Little Gem.

In their respective colors, the varieties
would be as follows : White, White Cap,
Polly Rose. White Chieftain, Lady Lydia.
Pink, Pink Cap, Pacific, Chieftain, Lilac
Cap. Tellow, Lizzie Adcoek, Chrysolora,
Yellow Cap. Mrs. H. Pearson. Bronze,
Brutus. Source d"Or, Kathleen Thompson,

Passaic, N. J. — John T. Rutledge, son
of Police Ofiicer Thomas H. Rut-
ledge and Mrs. Rutledge of 40
Howe ave., died on Jan. 3 at 10.20
p.m. at St. Mary's Hospital where he had
been confined since New Year's Day, with
pneumonia, which developed from a cold.
Mr. Rutledge was only twenty years of
age and for the past five years had been
employed as assistant manager for Ed-
ward Sceery, by whom he was held in
the highest esteem.

A general depression in nearly all lines

call for cut flowers is not great, funeral

them busy.

Fulfilling

Expectations

CALLAHAN CUT-TO-FIT GREENHOUSES have a habit of more
than fulfilling expectations.

It is quite the usual thing for our customers to express frank
surprise when they receive their first shipment from us.

We don't know why it is. We claim certain exclusive advantages for
CALLAHAN GREENHOUSES, but naturally our customers are ex-
pecting those features.

Perhaps the most logical explanation is that every little detail has
been carefully thought out and provided for — from the design of the
smallest member of the greenhouse to the nailing together of the packing
cases.

Greenhouse buyers are critical, as a rule. And when they receive a
CALLAHAN CUT-TO-FIT GREENHOUSE ready to assemble, they
realize that it represents more than selected Cypress, iron work and glass.
They appreciate the fine points that a catalog can't describe, a picture
can't show — the ideals of the maker, in fact.

Let us figure on your next order. Now is the time to
prepare for Spring construction.

Make your greenhouse weather-tight with Aabestfalt

You can't get anything better no matter how much
more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest; weighs
but 10 lbs. to the gallon.

With the scarcity of coal and its high prices, the careful
application of Aabestfalt will more than pay for itself by
keeping your greenhouse air-tight.

Mr. W. L, Ferguson, Smiths Falls, Ontario, un-
der date of Dec. 2d, 1919. writes us the following
in regard to our Petunias;

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you.
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about 8 per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quality each year."

Mr. Rudolf Nagel, Lancaster, Pa., under date
of Dec. 14. 1919, writes ue:

"I had last year just a few of your Petunias,
but I am sure I could have sold thousands of them.
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of my expectation."

The Market ^

The past week has shown many
reductions in prices and, to all appear-
ances, the bottom has not, as yet, been
reached. Of all the offerings, Roses,
perhaps, have held fairly well; the very
best stock bringing §25 per 100. There
is a scarcity of short Roses, so essential
for made up work of all kinds. Carnations
are bringing around $6; some go a little
higher, others fall short of this price.
Snapdragon is still held at a high figure,
owing to lack of quantity, orcuids are
drifting in from other markets and are
quoted as low as $1 each.

To our ivay of thinking, were the
public not gouged for every nickel at the
holidays, they would not drop out of
sight until the bottom is out of the
market, to start buying again. Thus a
more uniform price might be sustained.
Same holds good with Valley. Sweet Peas
fell off slightly for a few days, but are
coming again; a little continued sunshine
will soon make the supply equal to the
demand. The first crop of early single
Daffodils will soon be at an end. The
later varieties are then due to arrive.
Home groi^Ti sweet single Violets can
now be had and they are a welcome ad-
dition. Sweetheart Roses are holding a
imiform quality and are good sellers at
53 per 100. With the retailers, things
have slacked up a bit, but their old
friend "funeral work" has made his ap-
pearance and helps to show a balance
on the right side. With some of the
storemen, plants sold well at New Year's
with others, results were not up to last
year's standard.

There has been a great demand for
prepared material this season — combina-
tion baskets of straw flowers being a
big help to satisfy careiul buyers during
the high prices. "Where florists confine
themselves to dried flowers and gra.sses
to produce baskets and even sprays for
outside use, there can be no claim made
for artificiality; on the contrary, all sorts
of unnatural appearing wax or cloth
flowers should be eliminated by everyone
with the slightest "taint" of the artist
in their nature. H. E. K.

lanu.n-v i:., l!i;l.

The Florists* Exchange

Here is a 60-foot wide King Steel Flat Rafter house. This is our standard
design of framing for houses from 50 to 65 feet in width. The distance between
interior posts varying with the width. We have another design for houses
68 to 76 feet wide. These standards we know are right. This house was built
for one of the largest growers in Pennsylvania.

Read What He Says

"It has more light than any house I ever saw — I cannot
supply the demand for these Roses — it is the best growing
house in the world."

Some Facts About Wide Houses

A house 20 feet wide has 6j^ cubic feet of air per square
foot of glass. A house 60 feet wide has 1 Oy^ cubic]^feet^of air
per square foot of glass.

Does this mean anything to you?

Think it over.

The Question of Power Houses

WHEN Thomas Roland, the President of the Society of American Florists,
built his first big Lord & Bumham house, the question of how to house
his power plant came up.
In a small way, we had frequently made workrooms on private greenhouses
of the same construction as the greenhouse itself, and so saw no real reason
why practically the same thing could not be carried out for a power house.

So, combining Mr. Roland's ideas with ours, we worked out one that filled
his needs admirably.

Since then, we have made many improvements. Such, for example, as re-
ducing the amount of glass to the row of ventilating sash which extends entirely
around the four sides.

Likewise, using sides of sheet steel pressed between two layers of asbestos.
The roofs, instead of being galvanized iron, are made of big, fiat pieces of tile.
The entire frame work, of course, is iron, designed on regular standard green-
house construction lines.

All absence of columns giving a clear space for the boilers and unhindered
space for coaling them are a point strongly in their favor.

Being as near fireproof as it is possible to build, it's worth all it costs. The
rapidity with which it can be erected it also a point.

Such a power house, equipped with a battery of Bumham Steel Tubuiars
makes an outfit as practical as it is dependable.

Let's talk it over, you and I. Say when eind we'll be there.

Headquarters for Novelty Roses and
Other Cut Flower Varieties

TWO NOVELTIES FOR 1921

White Ophelia

(BATE BROS.)

This is the sport of OPHELIA so favorably known to the
Cleveland trade; it produces a large flower, with a few more
petals than the parent, and has the same qualities of growth,
foliage and constitution.

In color it is ^vhite, often showing a Daybreak center on
opening; its narne is not misleading, for it can be used with
perfect satisfaction wherever a white Rose is needed.

Owing to stiff outer petals it has an improvement over
OPHELIA, in holding the bud form for a long time.

_ It^ is infinitely better than WHITE KILLARNEY for
florists' uses, and the trade is already showing a lively interest
in the "new white."

Early orders filled March ist.
Own Root: $35.00 per 100, $82.50 per 250, $300.00 per 1000.
Grafts: $42.50 per 100, $101.25 per 250, $375.00 per 1000.

Golden Ophelia

(B. CANT & SON)

This is not a sport but a seedling from the universal
favorite, OPHELIA.

It is a sturdy, stiff-stemmed grower, with beautiful foliage,
quite closely set and glossy.

The flower is of medium size, from a beautifully formed
bud of bright, golden yellow. Has excellent texture, will fill
the place of MRS. WARD, for it makes fine crops throughout
the year; profuse in bloom.

Unlike the average yellow Rose, it grafts readily and does
not part at the union. We are very enthusiastic over this
beautiful, true-yellow novelty, which will rank high in its
class, and is being favorably received.

Own Root: $25.00 per 100, $200.00 per 1000.
Grafts: $35.00 per 100, $300.00 per 1000.

Mme. Butterfly

Hill's Glorified Sport of
OPHELIA

The novelty of 1920 has found favor
wherever grown, and is now being
booked in quantity as a second year
fancy cut variety. All the color tones of
OPHELIA are intensified, bright pink,
apricot and gold.

The tight buds are a lovely shade of
Indian red, yellow at the base; they are
unique for corsages and for low table
decorations; the opening flowers are
perfect in form and texture, clear and
brilliant in color, and of delicious
fragrance.

The longer stemmed product is of a
size and texture not often seen, even in
OPHELIA.
Own Root: $25.00 per 100, $200.00

per 1000.

Grafts: $30.00 per 100, $250.00 per

1000.

Rose Premier

Has been a money maker for the past
two years for growers all over the coun-
try, who have planted it in 10,000 lots.
Own Root: $20.00 per 100, $175.00

per 1000.

Grafts: $30.00 per 100, $250.00 per

1000.

Crusader

Mr. Alex. Montgomery's new Red.
We have a large stock of this deep crim-
son scarlet. A fine grower and free pro-
ducer; does best grafted.
Own Root: $25.00 per 100, $200.00

per 1000.

Grafts: $30.00 per 100, $250.00 per

1000.

Columbia

Needs no words of description; you
have seen it in the "movies." It has
been awarded three gold medals this
year, two in the cut flower class, one as
a universal bedder.
Own Root: $15.00 per 100, $125.00

per 1000.

Grafts: $30.00 per 100, $250.00 per

1000.

Frank Dunlop

Enormous, dark pink flower of large
size.
Own Root: $15.00 per 100, $125.00

per 1000.

Disposition of the S. A. F. Permanent Fund

Prominent Members of the Trade Express Their Thoughts. The Question is
Now Open for Discussion. Wide Divergence of Opinion Shown.

WKLL. we've started something! Letters are roll-
ing in in answer to our intiuiry as to what the
trade thinks of the suggestion made in the issue
of Dec. 11, as to the use o( the S. A. F. Permanent
Fund for educational purposes. From the interest
shown it is sincerely to be hoped that the discussion will
bear sotne good fruit. It will be recalled that there
were three main parts to the proposal : First, that the
fund be used to help support worthy and needy stu-
dents while attending established schools of floricultural
science; second, that it be used to reimburse practical
florists and growers who agree to take "apprentices"
into their establishments and give them practical train-
ing; and, third, that it be understood that loans made
to students be paid back as soon as their improved cir-
cumstances permit.

There is, of course, the fundamental question as to
whether the Permanent Fund should be disturbed for
any purpose whatsoever, and upon this it will be ob-
ser\ed some of our correspondents have quite definite
ideas. The point is, however, that a thorough discus-
sion of the whole proposition is bound to accomplish
some good— and it is to this end that we publish the
following letters and urge other S. A. F. members to
send in their opinions.

Don't Touch the Permanent Fund — Start Another
for Educational Purposes

I have given this matter considerable thought for
some time past, and I agree with you, as well as many
others who are interested in the w'elfare of the Society,
that it does seem unnecessary to have $50,000 or more
tied up in some form, and not available.

You, of course, realize that the Permanent Fund was

established through payment of life memberships into

the Society; one of the features of the life memberships

I was to pay dues into the Society perpetually. In order

that the income to the Society be maintained from these

! life members, the sum which they pay, must, of course,

be kept intact, and the interest or income from this

amount paid to the Society for the maintenance of these

members. So you see that no matter what anybody

' suggests for the good of the Society in any way what-

; ever with reference to the use of the Permanent Fund,

J it is impossible to use it, and live up to the purpose for

which this fund was created. So, whatever you do,

bear in mind that the Permanent Fund is working; it

is paying the maintenance of the life members in the

Society.

I have always questioned the advisability of taking
in life members in any institution or organization. I
have always taken advantage of such memberships per-

sonally, simply because it was financially economical;
\et I have always been against them.

1 can see the need of giving some most serious con-
sideration to the matter of increasing the dues in the
National Society, so that the work can go on without
distributing any other funds, excepting its regular in-
come. With the Society receiving $35 for a life mem-
ber, and that invested at 6 per cent, giving an income
of only $1.50 per year, you can sec how little the So-
ciety gets in the way of compensation from its life mem-
bers. So please discourage any apparent eflfort on the
part of any one to try to do anything further with the
Permanent Fund, than probably find a place to invest
it safely at any rate higher than 6 per cent. [Since
Jan. 1, 1920, the life membership fee has been $50. — Ed.]

I have always felt the need of the suggestion beiiig
carried out along the lines of creating scholarships in
scientific courses for the furthering of our business. ^ I
maintain that not one single flower is grown scientifi-
cally. Everything that we get from the grower is pro-
duced on the basis of knowledge which he gets from day
to day without having any bearing on science. I am
satisfied that if some method were devised whereby
men interested in the business, would subscribe annually,
for a period of years, a sum of money sufficient to es-
tablish such an institution to go into research work, it
would be the greatest thing that has ever been done for
the industry. Persoimllv, I should be willing to guar-
antee a payment of $250 to $500 annually for a period
of ten years, and I herewith tender this offer to start it
agoing.

Cleveland, Ohio. Herman P. Knoble.

A Great and Good Movement

It has been obvious to all thinking florists that the
younger generation has not been taking to the florist
business as it should, particularly during the long war
period. This has been caused largely by the fact that
there were no such promises held out to them in our
industry as were to be found in hundreds of others.
Any step which will lead to encouragement and which
induces the younger generation to take more interest
in the florist profession will certainly be doing a won-
derful good. Any student who is helped by a perma-
nent fund will certainly be grateful and remember the
basic cause throughout life. The reward will be in the
act itself, and we are sure that interest, yes, compound
interest and more, will be added over a period of years.
This is certainlv a great and good movement and one
that should be" steered along intelligent lines by the
biggest men in florist circles.

Indianapolis, Ind. Irwin Bertermann.

What the Florist Trade Needs is More Advertising

1 have read the article which appeared in the issue
of Dec. 11 with reference to the Permanent Fund of
the S. A. F. My personal opinion is that the income
from the Permanent Fund should be used for publicity
purposes ; that the money should be invested and the
income used for the good of the trade. I do not be-
lieve that any scholarship system is necessary. What
the florist trade needs is more advertising that will
bring in more customers. So far as the future is con-
cerned, there is going to be enough labor and, if that
is the case, there will be enough skilled men to take
care of the requirements of the greenhouse industry.

Cromwell, Conn. W. R. Pierson.

Any Movement that Stands for Improvement Will
Be Recompensed Many Times its Cost

Your inquiry in reference to the use of income, or
even part of the Permanent Fund, is an excellent idea,
regardless of the fact that many think it should stand
intact, because any movement that stands for improve-
ment to the trade generally will be recompensed many
times its cost providing it has achieved a specific pur-
pose. Your suggestion relative to assisting the studerits
to help themselves, who eventually must help the trade,
thereby benefiting others, must of necessity be of vast
good in the long run.

We see every day certain developments which tend
to show that the young blood is turning away from the
industry in which we are interested, and some step
should be taken to encourage that element to become
acquainted with gardening, both indoor as well as out-
door. And if our Permanent Fund could be the means
of a beginning toward the establishment of such a fund
to do further good along the outlined plan as sug-
gested in your article in the issue of Dec. 11, 1920, by
all means, let us do it.

The suggestion of using the interest of this fund to
create scholarships for sons and daughters of men and
vvomcn who are affiliated with our craft is most excel-
lent, and it would be a most admirable way of putting
to good use the income of this fund; if found practical
it could be put to broader use by ways and means of
the fund growing still bigger from the amount of good
that this might do. At least it is a step worth trying.
Any attempt that stimulates for betterment is worth
trying and no worthier manner for the use of the in-
come of the Permanent Fund could be made than to
help those who are desirous of entering our agricultural
or horticultural classes to become florists or gardeners,
and who in the end would gladly pay back many times
the amount expended in their development.

Your editorial covering this point is an admirable
one and well serves as a subject worth discussing for
the furthering of our industry.

Trusting that your suggestion may bear fruit, and
appreciating your efiforts in always trying to do good
when the occasion presents itself, the undersigned feels
doubly pleased in saying, "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant"

Boston, Mass. Henry Penn.

1 Shipping Carnations Abroad
Below I outline my experience and what measures
were taken to make the process, a success

YEARS ago, a friend of mine, who had worked in
America for about ten years, went back to his home
in Italy where he established himself in the florist
business. He built greenhouses according to our pattern
and imported the boilers from America along with a
lot of other items which he could not obtain in Italy.
My friend is a Carnation enthusiast and started in at once
to grow the American varieties, about which he knew
a good deal, having grown them here for several years.
He made a success of his venture and sold his American
varieties on the Riviera and in Nice, Genoa, etc., at a
good profit. The war put an end to his growing, but he
is now thinking of starting again.

The first thing this man did when he was ready was
to ask me to send him a collection of the (then) best
American varieties of Carnations. Now it happened that
his father was a grower of plants on a large scale for
export, who sent shipments regularly to all parts of the
world, as far as Australia, China and India, and my friend
directed me to proceed with his order the same way as his
father did.

He told me to select strong, healthy young plants in 2in.,
2J4in. or 2^in. pots. These I was to put aside in one
lot and let them become well rooted (fairly rootbound).
Then I was to set these plants on a front bench near the
glass and to forget to water them until they absolutely
needed water to keep from shriveling. Then soak thor-
oughly and repeat the same process. Repeat this two or
three times until the plants were well hardened off. After
they had arrived at this condition, water in the pots for
the last time, knock out from the pots, and stand the balls
in water until soaked through. Wrap each ball in a

handful of fairly moist (not soaking wet) moss, and wrap
the whole ball, moss and all, in several thicknesses of wet
newspaper, tieing with string.

Now have ready a strong box. Make sure it is strong,
as it will probably not be handled any too gently on its
journey. The box must be high enough to allow the
plants to stand up. It should have nailed over each edge
on the outside a strip of strong wire netting, so that mice
and rats cannot gnaw through the edges or corners. At
the upper part of the box, on two sides, a strip of wood
should be taken out and the opening covered with wire
netting; this to give light and ventilation. On two sides
of the box provide some sort of a handle or hold, so
that the boxes can be easily handled. Otherwise they
will stand a good chance of being dropped more than
once and the plants may get dislocated. Now the box is
ready for packing. Put in the bottom several thick-
nesses of wet newspaper and let it reach up on the sides
for two or three inches. Cover the paper with lin. to
lJ4in. of wet moss. On this moss set the plants in rows
in such a way that you can push about one inch thick-
ness of moss around each plant to keep them apart. The
moss must not reach much above the ball, leaving the
stems free. Make sure that the plants are absolutely
tight, each way, and, between every third or fourth row
of plants nail a solid cleat from side to side. Make
this cleat wide enough to reach between the stems, with-
in a half inch or so on either side, and press it close onto
the balls.

Plants packed this way will not wiggle loose. The rats
will not get to them and they will travel for one or two
months without danger of drying out. The cover must be
nailed on securely ; if wire bands are run around each side
of the bo.x nothing much can happen to it. Write the
address plainly in indelible ink and have it on top and on
at least one side. It may be a good plan to have an extra
label on the box, cautioning the carrier to keep it away
from steam pipes.

One other important matter must not be forgotten and
that is, for the shipper to inform himself of all the rules
and regulations which govern plant shipments in the
country of destination in regard to quarantine, custom
duties, etc.

I have forwarded several shipments of Carnations to
Italy in the above described manner and have never lost
a plant in transit, nor has my friend ever lost one after
receiving the shipments. He has repeatedly mentioned
this fact and congratulated me upon the outcome. I have
also shipped large consignments of rooted cuttings to
Germany in this same way and, although some experienced
a delay of five weeks before being unpacked, the loss was
relatively trifling. Gustave Thommen.

Corn Borer Quarantine Modified

By virtue of an amendment that went into force Jan.
15, 1921. Quarantine No. 43, restricting the movement
of certain plant products from Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New York and Pennsylvania, has been
made a Summer and Fall measure instead of a year-
round regulation as far as it applies to certain products.

The amendment applies to Regulation 4, which pro-
vides that inspection and certification by an employee
of the Dept of Agriculture shall be a pre-requisite be-
fore stock shall be moved. It states that in the case
of "Corn and Broom Corn, cut flowers or entire plants
of Chrysanthemum, Aster, Cosmos, Zinnia, Hollyhock
and cut flowers or entire plants of Gladiolus and Dah-
lia, except the bulbs thereof, without stems," the quar-
antine regulations shall apply throughout the year; but
that in the case of "all other products" (Celery, Green
Beans in the pod, Beets with tops. Spinach, Rhubarb,
and Oat and Rye straw as such or when used as pack-
ing) the regulations shall apply only between June i
and Dec. 31.

Burpee*s
Sweet
peas

THERE is alwaj's a ready demand for good Sweet Peas. Well grown flowers
realize most remunerative prices, and it is doubtful if any other crop will
bring the florist greater profits, considering the outlay for stock and the
easejwith which the crop is handled.

f'TSTo ensure flowers of highest quality and at a time before the market is
glutted with ordinary stock, the seed should be sown during January or February
in pots. Start them in a cool house or even a coldframe, and so have first-class
sturdy plants tor setting out in the open field early in April. This method wUl
give j'ou flowers in late May, and much superior to those sown directly in the open.

When ordering ask for our leaflet on Sweet Pea culture.

The House of Burpee is recognized the world over as American headquarters
for Sweet Peas. Burpee's Sweet Peas are grown and developed on Floradale
Farms, our California seed ranch, and our strains are unsurpassed for b' 'b-nlass
quality and "trueness" to type and color.

Good Sweet Pea seed is scarce this season, due to short crops,fand as our
stocks of some varieties are limited, we suggest early ordering.

The following list includes only such varieties as we know to be of value
for market work. For fuller descriptions and classified list of all varieties, in-
cluding many novelties now offered for the first time, write for Burpee's Annual,

Fifty Years Among Cyclamen

Being in great part a sketch of the life work of Thomas Avery of Harlington, Mdsx., England,
who, since 1871, has devoted a large portion of his time to the improvement of the Cyclamen,
and who is responsible in great measure, for the perfection at which it has arrived and the esteem
in which it is held. The story is one of an endless endeavor to evolve new colors tmd types.

THE importanci; of the Cyclamen for commercial
purposes was never so great as now. Although
for some score of years it has, in this country,
been a favorite for Christmas and the succeeding three
months, it was not widely grown until Qu. 37 compelled
the florists of the United States to look around for some-
thing they could raise in quantity in a minimum of
time to fill the gap caused by the cutting off of the
Azalea and other flowering plants. No plant raised
from seed offered such possibilities as the Cyclamen
but the supply of seed was not equal to the demand.

Prior to the quarantine going into effect, the number
■of growers specializing in Cyclamen was limited ; very
few of these were producing seed, and those that were
did so more for their own use than for sale. Two
houses that had for some years devoted attention to
seed saving were those of J. A. Peterson & Sons, of
Cincinnati, O., and Lehnig & Winnefeld of Hacken-
sack, N. J. As growers of fine plants, both these con-
cerns have for years stood high among the fraternity,
but with the increased call for plants and seed, it was
impossible for them and their contemporaries to meet
the situation.

Hundreds of others all over the country desired or
were more or less compelled to take up Cyclamen, al-
though in 1919 the supply of seed was unusually limited.
Practically all seed requirements were imported from
Europe and, here again, producers were limited, espe-
cially those of high-class strains. The European supply
has this season been considerably increased because the
German growers have again come into the picture, but
it goes without saying that not all such seed will meas-
ure up to the ideals that many of our growers have
reached. Cyclamen seed, of whatever quality, all looks
alike and not until some 18 months later is it possible to
know what one has purchased.

A strain of Cyclamen is what its raiser makes it and
no more; the more inferior the type the more freely it
seeds. Many factors have to be considered. The big
free growing plant does not .necessarily produce big
high-class flowers. Some strains produce big coarse
foliage and elongated flower stems that refuse to stand
erect; others produce much foliage and few flowers;
others again refuse to make enough foliage to satisfy,
while still others again yield poorly formed and iDadly
colored flowers.

The failures that have been recorded by many of
those who have attempted to grow Cyclamen may there-

fore have been due more to inferiority of strain rather
than to defective culture alone. Good Cyclamen seed
cannot be produced cheaply. The seed does not come
for the asking, it has to be worked for, and it may fre-
quently happen that the pods, after careful hand fertili-
zation, will contain few or no seeds.

Under the circumstances, the reminiscences of a
grower who has spent 50 of his 66 years among Cycla-
men may afford much interest to those who are devot-
ing attention to this flower. This old grower may fairly
claim to have seen the evolution of the Cyclamen, and
it is doubtful whether any other man has done so much
for, or has handled so many Cyclamen as has Thomas
Avery. He is still engaged in raising and growing some
50,000 plants annually, and will probably continue to do
so to the end of the chapter, because it is inconceivable
that he could cease his activities while his energy per-
mits him to move about.

Tom Avery, at 66, is not what one expects of an
under glass worker. He is upward of 6ft. tall, erect as
a ramrod, slight of built, with a voice as soft as a
woman's. Born among farm workers in one of the so-
called home counties of England, he found his way to a
small market nursery near London at the age of 15, and
while the concern with which he started has changed
hands, and has migrated further away from London,
he has always been part and parcel of it and, from the
age of 22 or so, he has been foreman, wholly respon-
sible for the raising and development of Cyclamen.

It was in August 1871 that Mr. Avery applied for a
job at the nurseries of J. Stevens of Ealing who, at that
time, was probably the finest Cyclamen grower of his
day. His foreman was J. May, a pupil of A. Edmunds,
the first man to bring Cyclamen into prominence, while
engaged with Henderson, a noted florist of St. John's
Wood, London. The flowers at that time were very
small, and the range of color much confined, despite the
fact that Cyclamen persicum and its protot3T)es were
introduced into England in 1731.

The giant flowered section arose as a sport after Mr.
Avery began operations. This was nothing more than
an enlarged form of the old persicum. It was named
picturatum and, when exhibited at the R. H. S., was
described as the finest Cyclamen ever seen. Seed saved
from this sport produced several new colors, so that a
new race of giant-flowered varieties bearing massive
foliage and long flower stems came into being. These
colored giants were, a few years later, eclipsed by the

giant white grandiflora alba which, when exhibited,
caused a sensation. The Gardeners' Chronicle of the
time illustrated a flower alongside one of normal size to
show the advance that had been made. Strangely enough,
two or three other growers who were then featuring
Cyclanien, also had the same breaks but, through lack
of skill or interest, failed to make headway with them.

Apart from the giant strain, Avery's firm went ahead
with the ordinary type and at various times they intro-
duced such varieties as Mont Blanc, Dame Blanch,
Baroness Burdett-Coutts, Crimson King, Brilliant. Prin-
cess May, etc. These varieties, although still sold as
such, have been improved considerably in size and color,
and are giants compared with those of early times.
Among the giant-flowered forms that Mr. Avery de-
veloped are, Duke of Connaught, Duke of Fife, Excel-
sior, Mauve Queen, Prince of Wales, Princess of Wales,
Rosy Morn, and Sunray. Brilliant giganteum totally
eclipsed the old Brilliant and Crimson King and is now
largely sought after.

Like the true florist that he is, Mr. Avery has ever
been seeking to evolve new colors and types. All efforts
to unite the hardy Cyclamen ibericum and its com-
panions led to nowhere, and while at various times
scented forms were evolved they invariably went back
as regards size and quality. The lacinated species, too,
was of no service, although no doubt it was from this,
the Dutch Papilio type was developed.

Mr. Avery spent some years on these crested forms
but their potency to upset all other good qualities finally
induced him to discard them. The only one of the type
he is now interested in is Mrs. Buckston which, like
the Dutch type, is neither fixed in type nor color and
probably never will be. It was unfixed when introduced
and no amount of selection stabilizes it, although some
of the flowers are truly magnificent. For years Mr.
-Avery made efforts to work toward yellow and blue,
but his attempts at crossbreeding and hybridizing to
negative results or monstrosities. He naturally kept an
eye upon what others were doing and when a Swiss
grower introduced a small flowered variety with a dis-
tinct salmon tint he saw visions that drove away all
thoughts of yellows and blues. The outcome was Sal-
mon King, a variety that has done more to popularize
Cyclamen than any. It has many aliases and there are
man3' strains. One other English concern evolved a
similar variety and simultaneously introduced it as Sal-
mon King. 'There has been some difference of opinion
as to who had prior claim to the name, but it need only
be said that the first Salmon King, as evolved by Mr.
Avery, was a vastly different proposition to the type he
handles today.

Through selecting for over a score or so years, he
has developed a superior type and also several others
of a distinct tint. Salmon Queen is paler while the
newer Queen Mary is specially striking because of its
claret base. A decided break was Mrs. L. M. Graves,
which leaped forward to what may be termed deep sal-

New Jersey Association of Nurserymen

ANNUAL CONVENTION

UNDER the presidency of Lester C. Lovett of Little
Silver, N. J., nurserymen of New Jersey (with
several visitors from Pennsylvania) gathered in
annual convention in the board room of the Armory,
Trenton, N. J., on the last day of the State Agricultural
Show, Jan. 14.

Among those present were A. M. Van den Haete, Morris-
ville. Pa.; E. de Wilde, of Jackson & Perkina Co., Shiloh,
N. J.; Wm. F. Miller, Collingswood, N. J.; Wm. Flemer, Jr.,
Princeton, N. J.; 'R^alter Momm, Irvington, N. J.; C. J. W.

Forristel, Plainfield, N. J.; Dr. Thomas J. Headlee, Dr. M.
T. Cook and Erdman West, of N. J. State Dept. of Agricul-
ture, New Brunswick; P. M. Koster, Bridgeton, N. J.; and
K. M. Van Gelderen, secretary-treasurer of the Association,
Long Branch, N. J.

The proceedings opened at 11 a.m., and after the min-
utes of the previous meeting_had been read and accepted,
Sec'y-Treasurer Van Gelderen submitted his report which
was voted as satisfactory. Several names submitted for
membership were duly elected en bloc.

Employers' Liabilities

At the invitation of President Lovett Dr. Headlee
gave a formal talk on sundry subjects, after which
E. W. Walder urged that the association might well in-

quire into the matter of nurserymen's liabilities in re-
gard to employees. His firm was now paying 89c. on the
$100, a rate considerably higher than formerly ; the Penn-
sylvania rate was much lower. In the discussion that fol-
lowed, it transpired that the insurance companies of
Pennsylvania based their charges on experience. Firms
which had been light in their calls ppon the companies
were rated lower. Several present stated that they had
had a rebate at the end of the year. The treatment
meted out to various concerns indicated that there was no
set rate among the insurance companies, either in New
Jersey or Pennsylvania. It was up to each concern to in-
quire into matters if they were rated too high.
Duty on Propagating Stock

Touching upon the question of duty upon plants im-
ported for propagation purposes, Mr. Walder considered
that such plants should be allowed in free. P. M. Koster
related his experiences with certain plants. He was
strongly of the view that such plants, like mother bulbs,
should be duty free. When duty was paid, the importer
had a double loss if the plants died after arrival. Some
of the subjects he had secured from his Holland nur-
series last year had come through very badly so that he
not only lost the stock but the duty also. During the
afternoon session this subject was again brought for-
ward, and a motion to the effect that the association op-
pose duties on plants for propagation was carried.
The Summer Meeting

Prior to adjournment for lunch, the venue for the
Summer meeting was discussed, and it was finally decided
that the meeting assemble at Red Bank, N. J., and, after
the usual business was through, visits to the various nur-
series and private estates in the neighborhood
would be made. The date of meeting would be decided
by the executive.

The Afternoon Session

The deluge of rain that prevailed during the day made
the luncheon trip far from pleasant, but all duly returned
for the afternoon session which opened at 2 p.m. with

P. M. Koster's address on broad-leaved evergreens, fol-
lowing which. Dr. Cook asked whether it might not be
possible to collect young native Rhododendrons for grow-
ing on purposes. Mr. Koster explained that, apart from
the inferior rooting of such plants, there were other
troubles that beset the nurserymen who tried to grow on
young collected' plants. He had received 10,000 R.
carolinianum from the mountains, every one of which
was badly affected with disease. "This disease (Pestaloz-
zia) was exceedingly dangerous and it was hopeless to ex-
pect much from such plants as every affected leaf must
be removed. Moreover, the lacewing fly, a serious pest,
was present in great numbers. There could be no wis-
dom in bringing such stock into the nurseries. And
after all, the plants would be poor substitutes for the
hybrids.

Answering Dr. Cook's question as to improvement by
selection, Mr. Koster thought that it would take 50 years
to bring about improvements.
Prices of Nursery Stock

Robert Pyle next made an address largely extempore,
on the subject of prices, past, present, and future. He
emphasized that cooperation was essential if they were
to make any advance in the direction of stabilized prices.
He declared that too much attention was given to what
others in the trade were doing, actually, their real com-
petitors were outside trades. It was necessary to ex-
plain to customers what it cost to produce stock. The
purchaser of nursery stock got more for his money than
if he bought other luxuries. Money spent on the latter
was gone, or the value of such remained sta-
tionary; nursery stock improved in value, there-
fore the first cost represented but a fraction of the fu-
ture value. The idea of a nurseryman should be to make
good, and most of them have always had that object in
view, although they did not always announce it. Why
not make it known that they stood back of their products
and so convince customers of their sincerity? His firm
had for a long time guaranteed its stock, and he knew
that their business had benefited thereby.

Notes from Abroad

Some of us who may be of a re-
flective disposition ( "A liealtby man,"
once said Thomas Carlyle, "never re-
flects!"), have been wondering whether
much advance has been made during the
past year in matters concerning the best
interests of the seed industry. To the
writer, whose memory goes back more
years than lie would like to state, it
seems that better progress has been made
in, Great Britain than in any previous
recorded twelve-mouth period, that is,
the trade has made a more decided ad-
vance than ever before toward union
and cooperation. No trade can, in these
days, afford to neglect its vital interests
in this regard, and it is to be hoped
that seedsmen on this side will soon at-
tain the level already reached by their
trans-Atlantic contemporaries.

Offers of vegetable seeds continue to
come in thick and fast, so that, gen-
erally speaking, there is no lack in this
department. Flower seeds are, on the
other hand, in many cases in short sup-
ply, and deliveries from the growers, espe-
cially Southern Europe, none too prompt
or rapid, although there is certainly
some improvement in this respect over
last season. The weather continues most
unseasonably mild and in the public
parks Primroses and Polyanthuses are
coming freely into bloom. This will, of
course, be at the expense of the future
vigor of the plants, and is not of good
augury for the coming crop. It is to be
hoped that Wallflowers will not follow
suit or our fond hopes of a good yield
of seed in 1921 will suffer a very con-
siderable discount.

Catalogs continue to arrive from across
the Atlantic, the English Channel, and
the North Sea, retail already as well as
■wholesale. Apart from Central Europe,
which has considerable leeway to make
up, there is a certain tendency to dimin-
ish in bulk, but the style and get up
is as good or better than ever, as the
recipients of one or two of the London
catalogs will have observed already.
Transatlantic Seedsman.

New York Seed Trade

1921 Catalogs Outs

Most of the seedsmen in this city have
already sent out their annual catalogs
for 1921. Among these are Peter Hen-
derson Co., 35-37 Cortiandt St., Stumpp
& Walter Co., 30-32 Barclay St., Arthur
T. Boddington Co., Inc., 128 Chambers
St., Wm. Hunt & Co., 148 Chambers st.,
Burnett Bros., 114 Chambers St., W. B.
Marshall & Co., 166 W. 23d St., MuUer-
Sealey Co., Inc., 145 W. 45th st.

Flowrer Seeds

Those seed stores that make a specialty
of florists' flower seeds for early plant-
ing in the greenhouse report that these
seeds are meeting with a very large and
active demand. Orders for vegetable
seeds stimulated by large advertising in the
trade papers and on the sending out of the
1921 seed catalogs are also beginning to
come in. Many salesmen, too, already
on the road or just starting out are send-
ing in good orders to the several seed
houses which they represent. As re-
gards the wholesale end of the business,
"Three weeks ago," says a well known
traveler for a large wholesale seed house,
"we were doing nothing almost, recently
the wholesale business has increased
greatly."

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay
St., is now mailing out its market gar-
dener's catalog for 1921. Leonard
Vaughan of Vaughan's Seed Store, Chi-
cago, read a paper on "Retail Garden
Seed Service" at the Convention of the
Official Seed Analysts of North Ameri-
ca, on Dec. 28.

Komau J. Irwin, 43 W. ISth St., re-
ports that orders for florists' flower seeds,
which comprise one of his specialties, are
coming in very encouragingly. Mr. Irwin
recently received a letter from Herbert
& Fleiahhauer of Oregon, Aster Seed
Growers, to effect that their crop of
Aster seeds is practically a failure, the
past season having been entirely too
wet aud the worst for growing Aster seed
in years. Mr. Irwin further reports that
business in his line in general is reason-
ably good. He expects to attend the Car-
nation convention to be held at Washing-
ton, D. C, next week.

Walter Barnwell, store manager for
Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers st., left the
city this week on a business trip, Mr.
BiLinwell expects to visit Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, and other points further
West. Wm. Smith has joined the Bur-
nett store force of employees.

Among the recent callers on the seed
trade were Chas. Gulph of the Jerome B.
Kice Seed Co., Cambridge, N. Y., and B.
Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass.

Chicago Seed Trade

The W. W. Barnard Co. has issued its
wholesale price list of seeds, bulbs and
supplies for florists' use for the Spring,
1921. This comany also announces the
opening of its annual downtown Poul-
try Show in its large salesrooms, 281 to
235 West Madison st., Jan. 25 to 2S.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports much
activity in the wholesale flower seed de-
partment. The January weather up to the
past week has been favorable for the
movement of Cannas, Gadioli and other
Spring bulbs. Salesmen on the road re-
port good business ; the depression felt
in other lines being so far unknown to
the florists. Ed. Goldenstein is on his
annual trip to the Northwest, which will
be extended further this season, taking in
the Dakotas and others of the Northwest-
ern States.

A. Miller, president of the American
Bulb Co., believes there is a good season
ahead for the florist industry and that it
is not confined to any particular section,
but is widespread. Every portion of the
country is at present covered by the nu-
toerous representatives of this house from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from
Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Reports
from Cyclamen growers all over the coun-
try of their success with plants this sea-
son raised from seed supplied by this
house, are highly gratifying. The com-
any is making preparations for large im-
portations of Cyclamen seed for the com-
ing season's planting.

Woodruff Co. Wins Suit

On Jan. 12, 1921, the jury in the Suf-
folk Superior Court at Boston gave a ver-
dict of $2503 to the plaintiff, S. D.
Woodruff & Sons, seed merchants, of
Orange, Conn., against the defendant,
Jay G. Feldstein of Pittsburgh, in a
suit for damages for failure by Feldstein
to accept delivery of and pay for 60 tons
of dried Peas in Nov., 1917. Curtis Nye
Smith, attorney for the American Seed
Trade Association, was the plaintiff's trial
attorney.

Catalogs Received

Van Zanten & Co., Hillocom, Holland. — Bulbs
for 1921; 37th annual A mrrican edition. An im-
portant catalog, offering all kinds and varieties of
bulbs at wholesale only. Well printed, ^i-ith good
descriptive details throughout. One wonders, how-
ever, whether the firm has forgotten Qu. 37 is still
in force, and that it is not much use to urge the
purchase of large bulbs of Spanish Iris, etc., for
forcing or florists' use generally. We hope our
Dutch friends have inside information that prompts
them to list all the sundry and much to be desired
bulbs.

Peth & Uuggan, The Model Seed Store, Bar-
clay St., N. Y. — Descriptive catalog of vegetable
and flower seeds. Consists of 34 pages, is freely
illustrated, and deals with many of the most ser-
viceable varieties of seeds. Summer flowering
bulbs, insecticides and poultry supplies are also
eeatured.

Luther Burbank, Sitntii Ituna, Culif.— A modest
looking list of ;ili pages, but packed with details
and testimonials regarding the need wpecialtiea
grown and olfered for sale. Ineludes Tomutocs,
Sunflowers, Pop and Sweet Corn, Uiant Garlic,
hybrid Artichokes, hybrid Cucumbers, Beans,
Wheat. Barley, Shasta DalHicH, Dahliaa. Gladiolus
and other lines, mostly eluinied to be new creations,

W. W. Johnaon & Son, Ltd.. BostonT'Eng^
land. — Wholesale catalog of vegetable, farm and
flower seeds. An attractive list having a pictorial
supplement showing many specialties and novel-
ties, im.luding the Victor Pea, Intermediate oblong
Beet, Premier Carrot, Victory Union, Dianthus
Purity, Stocks, Agcratum, etc.. etc. Seed Potatoes
are a great specialty with this firm; a number of
varieties offered being immune to wart disease.

The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O. —
Livingston's Seed Annual, 1921. With brightly
colored covers, this catalog depicts and describes
the "True Blue Seeds" as oflered by this well
known firm. Tomatoes are a great specialty and
no variety has attained greater prominence than
Livingston's Store. No specially new vegetables or
flowers are quoted but tlie list of varieties is both
comprehensive and complete; nothing that is any-
thing is missing. lUuetrationa are numerous; all
from photographs. A complete line of sundries is
also a feature. Reference is made on page 1, to the
great fire which occurred in the firm's seed ware-
house in April, 1920, destroying over 3100,000
worth of seed, beside causing untold trouble. The
warehouse has been rebuilt and the firm is now in
fine shape for business.

Stark Bros., Louisiana, Mo. — A superbly gotten
up catalog of 64 pages with colored covers. In
many respects original in style, and freely illus-
trated, the pictures being large and in most in-
stances tinted red or green. Stark Bros, are great
btlievers in the power oi print, and one is compelled
to admit that they succeed in impressing the re-
cipient of their literature. Apart from the catalog,
the postal envelope contains a well illustrated list
ot ornamental trees and Roses with several garden
plans, a special pamphlet relating to the famous
Stark's Golden Delicious Apple, which was last
year awarded the Wilder medal, a landscape sketch
blank and sundry other leaflets.

J. J. H. Gregory & Son, Marblehead, Mass. —
I Entering its 65th year of business, this tirm may
; tairly claim to be well established; noted for honest
I seeds, it has done the world considerable service
through its many noteworthy introductions. The
Jtlubbard Squash, although introduced as far back
as ISoG, still continues to hold its place as one of
the essentials in every garden. For this year, the
hrm offers a number of selected stocks of vege-
tables and flowers, while in the general list of seeds,
the array of varieties is almost bewildering. Vege-
tables are a great specialty, about 60 ot the SO
pages being devoted to these and sundry field seeds.
N. A. Hallauer, Ontario, N. Y. — Select list of
Gladioli, Dahlias, Peonies and other hardy plants.
A useful and informative little catalog, quoting
most of the worth-while varieties. All stock is
guaianteed true to name.
I The F. E. Schifferti Nurseries, Fredonia,
N. Y. — Special postal card offering for immediate
shipment, in any quantity, numerous varieties of
Grape vines, Currants and Gooseberries.
j W. E. Marshall & Co., Inc., 166 West 23rd st.,
N. Y. — Consisting of nearly 100 pages bound in a
1 neatly embossed cover, this catalog is worthy ot
' being placed among the elect of seed lists. Not
I because it is abundantly illustrated; it is far less so
I than many, but it is rich in descriptive matter and
; quotes a most comprehensive list of vegetables and
I flower seeds. Two pages are devoted to novelties,
I among them the new pink Statice sinuata, red hy-
brid Primula obconica, Sweet Peas and Mignonette.
Summer flower bulbs of ail kinds, Roses, garden
sundries, tools and poultry supplies are also given
full attention. One may well say, if you want any-
thing in the garden line consult Marshall, Inc.
Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers St., N. Y. — Seed
catalog for 1921. The catalog of this old estabfished
concern, featuring a buff cover, embossed with
gold, fully describes the many lines it has
to offer. Lawn grasses of all kinds are a specialty
with Burnett Bros., but they also make a feature
of handling all the best and most reliable varieties
of seeds, including novelties. Two new Tomatoes
and several other new vegetables are described
and illustrated, while several pages are devoted to
specialties in flowers. The general list embraces
all the best known varieties and in the way of
Gladioli, Dahlias, Lilies and sundries, there is a
most extensive collection. A retail catalog that
should impress the recipients.

The Geo. H. Mellen Co., Springfield, O. — Seed
and plant list bearing attractively colored covers
showing the yellow Rose A. Hill Gray and a collec-
tion of Gladioli. Established in 1S77, this concern
controls considerable glass and outdoor nurseries.
Bedding plants, field grown Rosea, Chrysanthe-
mums, greenhouse plants of all kinds, flowering
roots and bulbs, hardy flowers, etc., etc., fill some
60 pages, the remaining space being given over to
general seeds and fruits.

D. W. Peckham, Middlefield, Conn.— Dahlias
and Gladioli. A small retail catalog giving brief
descriptions of a large number of Dahlias including
many of the much talked of CaUfornina varieties,
and about three dozen of the leading varieties of
Gladioli.

Special Delivery Mail

Issue of Jan. 15, page 128, we informed
our I'eadere of the fact that Special De-
livery mail would, in the future, be de-
livered without receipt and left in regu-
lar mail receptacles when personal deliv-
ery could not be effected. This, possibly,
requires a little further explanation to the
effect that no receipts will be taken in
future by the post office even when pei--
sonal delivery can be effected.

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

NO FLORIST—
least of all the
growers — can afford
to be pessimistic of
the future. To make
preparations for the
various successive
seasons throughout
the year requires
foresight, besides
the usual weeks of
toil, naturally all labor
is for hope of reward,
so all florists should
be bubbling over
with optimism. There
are good times ahead,
be prepared when
they get here; place
your order for com-
ing season now, but
buy judiciously.

in its issues of Jan. 29 and Feb. 5.

Everything to date points to the largest attendance
and the greatest interest, as well as the most satisfac-
tory exhibition that has been made in the past six
years or more.

To Our Advertisers

For these reasons, and because the Carnation is
again on the high road to its due recognition, we believe
these two issues of ours will be good media for not only
those handling Carnations, but as well for every other
line of endeavor.

Rail Demurrage Charges

No increases will be made in the
present demurrage rates, according to
information obtained at the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Owing to the
fact that the various railroads that were
parties to the application for increased
demurrage cannot agree upon tbe rates
to large shippers, the application, which
was filed some time ago, has been with-
drawn.

It was originally planned to increase
the demurrage rates from $2 to $o for
each of the first four days cars lay at
sidings ; from $5 to §6 for the next three
days, and from §5 to |10 for each suc-

The licensing of all dealers in coal
and the gathering of periodical statistics
regarding prices, stocks, etc., by the
Federal Trade Commission and the In-
terior Department, is provided for in a
bill which has been introduced in the
Senate by Senator Calder of New York.
The measure is designed "to promote the
general welfare by gathering information
respecting the ownership, production, dis-
tribution, costs, sales and profits in the
coal industry."

"Coal, its sufficient and economical
production and proper distribution ; in-
formation respecting ownership of coal,
and ownership, production, distribution,
costs, sales and profits in the coal in-
dustry, are necessary to the general wel-
fare of the people of the United States
and to Congress for the purpose of legis-
lating from time to time, respecting inter-
state and foreign commerce, public health,
taxation and other matters," declared
Senator Calder in introducing his biU.

Under Section 12 of the measure, when-
ever the Federal Trade Commission shall
determine that an emergency threatens to
result in a shortage or in highly un-
reasonable prices, the President is au-
thorized to declare the existence of an
emergency which threatens the public
health and may fix maximum coal prices
and dealers' commissions and margins,
and is authorized also to deal in coal
at reasonable prices and to control its
movement and distribution to such ex-
tent as he may deem necessary.

Geo. "W. Hess Receives
Commendation

High tribute was paid to George W.
Hess, director of the Botanic Garden,
last week, when members of the House
of Representatives discussed legislation
transferring two trucks from the War
Department to the Garden. An unusual
feature of the matter was the praise
given Mr. Hess by Representative Blan-
ton. of Texas, probaby the most out-
spoken critic of Government executives.

"I would like to call attention to tbe
fact that this director of the Botanic
Garden is one of the ablest and most
efficient and most industrial employees
I know of in the Government service,"
said Mr. Blanton. "He is on the job
continually, and is one of the most oblig-
ing iripn I ever saw. He is busy all
the time in and about the business of
the Garden. I dn not think that any-
thing we could turn over in his place
would be misspent."

"I know Mr. Hess verv well," replied
Representative Gard of " Ohio, "and I
agree with what the gentleman says;
he is a very fine gentleman and renders
an excellent service." E. A. D.

Daylona, Fla.

Jan. 14. — Business was very good
at Christmas down here, but stock none
too plentiful, as local outdoor stock
was limited to Peas, Violets and Gladi-
olus. Roses and other choice flowers
■were shipped in from Philadelphia.
These have to be first class, or they
will not stand the long journey, con-
sequently prices realized have to be
higher than in the North or the excessive
expressage eats up all the profits. We
tried out some select Killamey on a
shipment, but they were not able to stand
the journey and be salable after being
exposed to air for a few hours. The
Enchantress type Carnations are apt to

take a "Sleeper" down here, so are
not desirable to handle. A tenderfoot
from the North has to enter the infant
class when he comes down here to run
a cut flower shop, but the experience
gained is a great help for the future, if
one's money holds out.

Sweet Peas, Gladiolus, Calendulas,
Easter Lilies and Callas will soon be
coining in abundantly. Local Roses,
while fairly plentiful, are not good
enough in quality to offer. "The cracker
Rose" Louis Phillippe, falls to pieces
while you are showing it, and this va-
riety^ is mostly in evidence. Currey the
Florist of DeLand, was a welcome caller
last week. He has a snug little place,
a fine little office and show house, and
does a very nice business. His silent (?)
partner, Mrs. Currey, is his able as-
sistant _ and she has the happy faculty
of getting good prices when she serves
a customer.

There has been no killing frost so far
at this point, although most of the more
tender stock was killed 150 miles further
South just before Christmas. L. F. D.

The Market

It is acknowledged by all the
wholesale men this week that flowers of
all kinds and descriptions are extreme-
ly short. The sacrifice sales of ten days
ago are over, with even Paperwhite Nar-
cissus commanding a good price.

Generally speaking, the Rose is the
scarcest flower of all the staples. Carna-
tions are more plentiful, but the supply
is not over generous and arrivals are
bought up almost at sight. Cattleya
Percivaliana is still in good supply, with
Trianee not so plentiful. As to Lily of the
Valley, the extreme high price of this
dainty flower during war times and di-
rectly after made most of our retail
stores fight shy of it, but now, we are
happy to say, the local supply is assured
at a reasonable price. Charles Sieg^va^d,
growing for The Leo Niessen Co . , re-
cently received a direct importation in
splendid condition and is shipping in a
regular consignment each week. One may
talk of this Valley and that Valley, but
"the home grown, cut-the-night-before
kind"' holds the fragrance and the cus-
tomer.

Sweet Peas are in good demand and
bring a good price. Some miniature
Dutch Hyacinths are seen about, com-
manding good returns. Easter Lilies are
in fair supply and good call, while Callas
are not crowding the market this week.
Single Violets continue in light supply.

While there seems to be no special
advance in prices, the buyers are a liiT
anxious, but judging from other normal
years, conditions are about as usual for
the middle of January. The only really
plentiful stock in this market is Aspara-
gus, Smilax. ferns and green goods gen-
erally.

a meeting. Many years ago, retiring
from the greenhouse end of the business,
he was engaged in landscape work about
the city until the time of his death. Among
the members attending the services, and
acting as pallbearers were : Robert L.

Without the real snap of Winter to
stimulate the heart and quicken the
action of the blood, there lacks the vim
to trade that one naturally expects dur-
ing the Winter months. The_ stores,
however, report business as fair with
an occasional good day to keep up their
spirits and the week's average of sales.

There was a meeting at the B. F,
Barr store to arrange details for the
trip to the Carnation meeting in Wash-
ington, and we hope to have a fair dele-
gation to that city on the 26th and 27th,
though not as large as it should be from
this, a Carnation growing section. The
writer does not expect to be able to
attend on account of the serious illness
of his father whom many of the trade
will remember (namely D. K. Herr of
Geranium and Coleus fame).

In speaking of the lack of interest
shown by some of our florists in club
and other matters, one party remarked
that the most successful men of our
country were some who hardly ever came
to the club. and. if they did, never had
a word to say. What is success ; is it to
be measured entirely by dollars and cents?
If so, then the plugger who stays at
home attending to his own work will
often ( not always ) , be a little ahead
of the fellow who spends a good part of
his time in more pubHc affairs. If suc-
cess is measured by the amount of good
ynu have done for the world in your
cycle of years, then a little time spent at
meetings, etc.. that make for the better-
ment of your trade and business, is time
well spent, and is bound to eventually
be placed on the credit side of your
ledger. Albert M. Herr.

The Market

A visit to the wholesale houses last
week did not show anv change over the
previous week. Stock is scarce and when
it doe."! arrive it is immprliately sent out
on orders, and while the wholesalers claim
that .Tanuarv will sbovp a volume equal to
lict vear. the retailers are complaining
of clack business.

Tbe Rose supply has been the chief
sonvp of -worry since the holidays, as the
suprilv has run chiefly to the long fancy
prades with a decided shortase of the
chort and medium lengths, and it is true
thnt flip retailer does not like to pay 35c.
and 40c. for Roses and then cut them
down for funeral work, as some of them

have had to do. The supply of Carna-
tions is on the increase and with a few
more bright days the Carnation prob-
lem should be solved for the rest of the
season, for once they start coming right
they should continue through to the en3.
Easter Lilies have been good property
and have cleaned up daily at good prices,
while Callas are in short supply and sell
on sight. Sweet Peas are on the in-
crease, and while the supply is still
short of the demand, it should not be
long before both are equal.

The one bright spot in the market last
week was the advance in the price of
Paperwhite Narcissus, and it was a treat
to get away from the starvation prices
that have prevailed since Christmas. Vio-
lets also met with an increased demand
and realized better prices. The supply
of Valley and orchids was about equal
to the demand, and we want to say that
the Valley is the finest seen here for a
long time. Other seasonable flowers
arriving include Baby Primrose, Calen-
dula and Mignonette. The supply of
greens is again normal.

Pittslmrgli Retail Florists Ass'n

The regular monthly meeting of
the Retail Florists Association ot the
Pittsburgh district was held at the Sev-
enth ave. Hotel, Thursday evening, Jan.
13. The speaker of the evening was Dean
Walker of Duquesne University. He
gave a very interesting talk on organiza-
tion and what the members of the asso-
ciation would have to do in order to make
it a success. George Wessenauer of Se-
wickley. Pa., spoke on advertising and
brought home some facts that cannot be
ignored; tliat is, that an ad must be at-
tractive and in order to carry weight you
must keep at it all the time, not only
when flowers are plentiful, but also when
they are scarce. Mr. Wessenauer must
know of what he speaks, as he has built
his present large business through ad-
vertising and then doing as he advertises.
The question of the present Rose short-
age was also brought up, and what could
be done to prevent it in the future, but
the only remedy for that is increased pro-
duction and new building. The trouble
lies in the fact that in order to get
enough for Christmas, all the growers
plan their crops for that day, thus creat-
ing a shortage during January. Again,
the demand has increased more rapidly
than production and the newer varieties
of Roses do not run to quantity but to
quality, thus cutting down the supply,
and if we want to keep them with us,
they must realize higher prices than the
old timers.

As to the shortage of other flowers, this
market used to depend a great deal on
the small growers within a radius of 100
miles of Pittsburgh who used to ship their
surplus to the wholesale houses. Today
these growers find the demand for cut
flowers in their own district great enough
to use practically all they can produce,
thus leaving them nothing to ship to
the market, and even at times they have
to call on the market for stock to help
them out. This is the result of adver-
tising and the condition will be no bet-
ter until production is increased.

CARNATION GROWERS

Attention!

November 8, 1913, fire destroyed our place; 1914 we
rebuilt and started growing Carnation seedlings anew;
Spring and Fall, 1920, we thought we had something good.

To be sure, we distributed 14,650 Carnation 1 lants

among 16 growers in different parts of the United States,
with the understanding "your money back if they fail to
make good by January, 1921." Not a single plant has
been returned. They made good.

Club Meeting

The regular meeting of the Toronto
Retail Florists' Club was held on Mon-
day. Jan. 10, with S. A. McFadden,
president, in the chair. There was a
good attendance.

A paper by S. A. Frost on floral
designs and floral arrangements was well

received. He advocated system in mak-
ing floral designs and making them to
a certain plan. The public should be
taught art in flowers and the undertakers
at funerals should be taught how to ar-
range flowers. Florists themselves could
learn more about floral arrangement. It
is unfortunate that there is no place
for a florist to learn more except through
his own experience and through such
talks as are given before the club. At
the conclusion of the paper, Mr. Frost
gave a demonstration on arranging
wreaths and baskets. A hearty vote of
thanks was tendered him.

The annual dance will be held at the
Metropolitan clubrooms on Feb. 7. Full
arrangements are being made for a big
crowd. . . „

On Feb. 7, a St. Valentine s Box social
will be held at the club rooms. The

range for advertising for St. Valentine's

Market Conditions

Stock is reported to be very
scarce; the grower, wholesaler and re-
taller alike, find it hard to get sufficient
flowers for their regular patrons. The
absence of sunshine and the dull, mild
weather since Christmas had the effect
of retarding growth. As the prices vary
according to the law of supply and de-
mand, the retailer must charge stiff prices
to those who "say it with flowers."

The Merchants' Association of New
York is putting forth all its energies
toward the consummation of a permanent
Daylight Saving law in the Eastern Time
zone, to be in operation during the five
months May 1 to Sept. 30.

Appeals to all the mayors and con-
gressmen are being made as far West as
Cleveland. Newspapers are strongly
backing the campaign, which is highly
essential, because of the efforts by others
to bring about the total repeal of day-
light saving schemes.

Our National Taxes

That there must be a revision of the
present emergency tax law is in the minds
of all. Numerous recommendations have
been made to that effect in the past few
months. To a certain extent we must
rely upon our law makers as to the out-
i come. To expect unanimity in every di-
rection is out of the question, that is
why, we take it, we have a Senate and
Congress ; from the hundreds of sugges-
tions made the duty of these bodies
is to adopt the most feasible and
those which shall bear most evenly on
all classes of our population.

It is not our province nor our inten-
tion to suggest or recommend any one
particular form of taxation. We simply
mention the subject because of our strong
belief that it is most decidedly the duty
of every reader to watch carefully aU
methods suggested and in due time, when
the subject is brought up in the Con-
gress, to write their Congressman and
Senator fully, giving their own personal
endorsements to any proposition which
they believe for the good of the country,
and similarly opposing others >vhich they
are of the firm belief would act to the
contrary. Endorsements offered should
have the thorough consideration of the
writer before they are committed to
paper.

A Dead Morning Glor^'

Such a little while to stay —
Just a fragment of a day;
But what beauty to compress
In an hour; what loveliness
To be sacrificed so soon,
'To be gone before the noon.

Now the moth and butter6y,
Like the children, pass it by;
And the brown bee never sips
Honey from such shriveled lips.

Was there something else that fled
From the flower that hangs here dead,
Some ethereal, mystic thing.
That, unseen, has taken wing?

The Washington Carnation

Meeting

What About It?

Whether you make a specialty of Car-
nations, grow only a single bench of
them, or just handle the cut blooms — if
you are interested at all in the divine
flower and can make it possible, you are
bound to find it a good investment to
attend the convention to be held at
Washington, D. C, Jan. 36 and 37. Ev-
ery Carnation grower of note will cither
be there, or will show the best he has
to offer; on no other occasion is it pos-
sible to see such a display of the best
Carnations we have today as at these
shows. It will be a worthwhile trip,
no matter where you are located. Don't
say you would like to go but can't af-
ford it; if some of us waited until we
thought we could really aflord it, it
would be a thin crowd at the convention.

For the average florist and especially
the retail grower, the trip to Washing-
ton will pay for itself by the good he
gets out of it. Carnations for many
years have been, and are still, next to
the Rose in importance, and while there
are many hundreds of florists who have
given up growing their own require-
ments in Roses, they nearly all grow
Carnations, a crop which doesn't re-_
quire a hothouse.

In order to make it a success, you
must keep step with not only modern
methods of culture, but make use of the
best and most uptodate sorts. It isn't
said that a vase of beautiful flowers at
the show will prove that particular sort
to be a money maker for you, but it gives
you a chance to see them there at their
best and to compare them with others.

Meeting the men who specialize in
Carnations, getting their views, attend-
ing the meetings and taking part in
them will make any one feel well re-
paid. Besides these main features, you
are paying a visit to one of the most
interesting cities of our great land,
Washington should be visited at one time
or another by every good American ; it
is truly a wonderful place, and you will
have a much better chance to see all the
many points of interest while attending
the convention of the Carnation Societv
than were you to go there alone. Of all

the many places I have visited, none
made a deeper impression on me than
the three visits I paid to Mount Vernon,
the old home of George Washington.
A day spent there with your wife, son,
or daughter, t,'ou will ne\'er regret nor
forget.

The last thing i would suggest to any-
one, would be to trade a Liberty bond
for anything else as good or better, but
go to Washington, I say, by all means,
even if you have to cash one to take the
trip. Find out when the boys from your
section are leaving and join them.

Easter Roses

The Ramblers you have had in a 45
deg. house will need a few degrees more
from now on. If they consist of pot
grown stock, they are breaking now and
you should have no trouble in getting
them in for Easter. Give them 55 deg.
until well under way and increase a
little so as to have the buds show by the
end of February. A sudden change
from a high to a low temperature always
has a bad effect on Roses, whether
planted out in a bench or those you
have in pots for Easter flowering, and
yet, if you can grow these Roses on
and get them in by keeping the house
a little below the 60 deg. point, so much
the better. See to it that the plants
are tied up nicely into the shape you
want them. The time to do this is be-
fore they have made any new growth ;
and cut out all dead wood or such as
ia not wanted for flowering. Always
bear in mind that with tie Ramblers
it is last year's growth which will pro-
■ duce the flowers you want and you can't
afford to prune much on the canes.

Easter Lilies

If you are in doubt about your Lilies
coming in for Easter, you can form a
good idea by figuring out if they look
as if they would show bud, at the latest,
by Feb. 15. If you are in doubt about
it, apply heat enough to get them there,
but there is little use giving plants not
well rooted over 60 deg. at present.
Such plants are best to let alone, or
rather, keep in a 60 deg. house and in
two weeks from now, increase the tem-
perature to 65 deg. If by the middle
of February the plants show signs of
buds, nothing else on earth will get
them in on time than heat, and even if
you have to resort to 70 deg. or 75 deg.,
if the plants are in a healthy condition
they can stand it. But it is foolish to

Flowers for Memorial Day

Will Sweet Peas (Winter flowering)
started from seed March 1 under glass,
bloom by Decoration Day? Also should
2%in. stock of Snapdragon and Calen-
dulas bloom for that day if planted
March 1? Do Calendula seedlings need
pinching, the same as Snapdragon to
promote a more branching growth? —
C. G. R., N. T.

— The Sweet Peas should at this period
come into flower, but we would prefer
to sow a trifle earlier, as the earliest
flowers are not the best. The Calendulas
and Snapdragons will be safe if the
weather conditions encourage _ good
growth. The former may be pinched,
but flowers of this class usually branch
early. Exercise your own discretion and
pinch if thought desirable.

expect a sickly or stunted plant to re-
spond to such treatment. If you have
potted your smaller sized bulbs in fours,
don't allow them to become too pot-
bound ; the sooner they receive a shift
the better. The roots will get a hold
of the new soil at once while a pot-
bound plant will stand still for some
time. Pot deeply, provide good drainage
and use good soil ; that and firm potting
is what Lilies like.

Cannas

In another few weeks you will have to
get busy again with the Cannas, and if
you have roots stored away under the
Carnation bench, it may be well to ex-
amine them now and find out in what
shape they are. There is just as much
danger from having them dry out too
much as in rotting the eyes, due to too
much moisture. Look them over and if
there are some which were brought in
with but little or no soil around the
roots, and they are still sound, place
some sand or soil over them so they
won't dry up by the time you are ready
to cut them up for starting. If any
are starting into growth, due to too
much moisture, it is time to move them
to a drier spot. Under proper condi-
tions, Cannas keep over Winter perfectly
under a bench, . but they , need . just a
little moisture in order to have solid
eyes by the end of February when you
usually start the first lot. It is not too
early to- place- your order for what you
may want in new varieties ; the sooner
you get them and the earlier you can
start them, the better the chance to have
them show what they can do.

Calendulas

Sown now. Calendulas will give you
extra fine flowers on long stems during
April and May, and especially if you
can plant them on a solid bed. During
the Summer and Fall, your patrons get
tired of Calendulas, and usually the first
crop of flowers outdoors is the best one,
for they don't enjoy hot weather, but
during early Spring and especially if you
have large flowers on 15in. stems, there
is no trouble in disposing of them. If you
have 2in. or 2%in. pot plants on hand,
-so-much- the better: Plant them now in
good soil and allow fully a foot between
them, for in a cool house they will grow
into large specimens. The first flowers
are as well pinched out, for if you want
to get any kind o£ stems, it means to
sacrifice two or more buds. It is better
to remove them and wait for longer
stemmed blooms to follow. When they

are in flower, let them have an occasional
dose of cow manure ; it will help toward
large flowers and dark green foJiage.

Hydrangeas

A house of 50 deg. is not too warm for
starting the Hydrangeas into growth
such as you want for early flowermg.
If you have pot grown stock on band,
it won't take the plants long to get
busy and be full of leaves and, when
they are once under way, give them more
heat if you want to hustle things along.
It doesn't take the plants long to show
their buds and, after that, it is a matter
of heat, sun and plenty of water to
push them along, but plants which are
allowed to come along slowly,, always
are better than such as are subjected to
hard forcing. See to it that there is
good drainage in the pots and, when the
nlants are once making a new growta,
there is nothing beter than feeding them
every 10 or 12 days with a light dose
of liquid cow manure. With a pot luU
of roots there isn't much plant food
left in the soil and you have to supply
it one way or another. Hydrangeas are
great feeders, but perfect drainage has to
go with it.

Geraniums

A bushy 4in. or 5in. Poitevine Gerani-
um in bloom makes a good Easter plant.
Even -plants out of 3y2in. pots can be
used for made up pans ; it takes about
five for an 8in. bulbpan and every coun-
try florist can dispose of a good num-
ber If you have 2i/^in. pot plants on
hand, the present is a good time to
select some of the best, shift into SJ^ 8
and pay them a little extra attention.
Those you want to use as 354in- stock
can remain in the pots until Easter, tut

sueh as are to b^ g'^owP..?''*?;„,|f ?^'
plants will need another shift about tne
end of February. If you fill vases and
window boxes during the Spring months,
vou also have use for extra strong, bushy
plants of Geraniums. The heavier the
plants, the more of a show they make
and while you don't want them in larger
pots than 4's, you should give such
plants more room than the ordinary bed-
ding stock and feed them a little dur-
ing April. The idea is to obtain as
large a plant in as small a pot as possible,
for usually there isn't too much rooni in
either the ordinary lawn vase or window
box. From now on up to the middle of
February is also a good time to propagate
what Geraniums you can, but don t spoil
a good 2i/lin. plant in order to cut the
top out for a cutting. There is nothing
.sained by that.

Chrysanthemum Culture|j,^

Please let me know which is the most
profitable method of raising Chrysanthe-
mums. Is it best to raise them on a
single stem and if so, what distance
apart should they be planted? Could
they be planted with success and have
two or three to a stem? If so, what
distance should they be apart? I have
raised benches and solid benches in the
middle of the house. — J. F. M., N. T.

— The largest and best flowers are all
grown on single stemmed plants set out
about 10 or 12in. apart. As yours are
midseason varieties, it is advisable to
follow this system. The European
growers handle two and three stem plants,
but they propagate very early, and grow
in pots, the plants standing in the open
all Summer. To get such plants on
benches would probably entail earlier
planting, so that you would gain nothing
in the end. The small flowered sorts, of
course, are grown naturally, but with
these there is no question as bud tak-
ing, etc.

Carnations Splitting

During the past week or so there has
been an unusually large number of splits
among our Carnations ; standard sorts.
The night temperature has been as low
as 45, and the day not above 56 except

when the sun was shining. Plenty of
air at all times.

Some rust has appeared on a few
plants ; how do we use bordeaux powder?
— P. W. Z., Ohio.

— The climatic conditions are un-
doubtedly largely responsible. Possibly
your plants are soft, through over-sup-
plies of fertilizer. The appearance of
rust indicates too close an atmosphere at
some time and perhaps too much
moisture. Give all the air possible, espe-
cially side ventilation. Blow sulphatine
among the plants with a powder gun
or dust it on the affected parts if not
abundant.

Sulphatine is made with 2% pounds
of anhydrous sulphate of copper, mixed
with 15 pounds of fine sulphur, and
10 pounds of air-slaked lime.

Ailing Dracaenas

Kindly say what is the cause of the
discoloration of the foliage of Dracffiua
Massargeana and fragrans sent. — Sdb-

SCRIHER.

— The browning of the foliage is ap-
parently due to some mechanical injury.
Possibly too low a temperature at some
period, or gas fumes. The withering of
the young central growth is a further
indication of top injury. Please note
in future that we cannot undertake to
answer queries unless accompanied by
name and address.

The Small Tree and Its Right Use ^

EDWIN
MATTHEWS

nU THE ARTS one of the basic principles to be
observed is that of proportion. The painter, the
sculptor, the carver and engraver must all por-
tray their subjects in correct proportions or they draw
severe criticism upon themselves.
This same principle is no less important in all matters

Tliat tree of threefold beauty, the white and pink flow-
ered Dogwood, is scarcely ever out of place on the lawn,
whether near the house or as an adjunct to other groups
of evergreens or shrubs. In like manner may be used
the several forms and species of CratKgus (Hawthorn),
the merits of which are not yet appreciated nearly as

of planting. As one can easily discriminate
between the work of the master artist
and the crude attempt of the novice in paint-
ings, so in the work of right and wrong
planting does it show up to the advantage
or disadvantage of him who planted.

How often arc tlie home grounds of rnodest
dimensions spoiled by an unwise choice of
trees. One would suppose to see tree plant-
ing in some sections of the country that the
only one known or available was the Nor-
way Maple. Indiscriminately has it been
used on all occasions and for all purposes.
Now, not for a moment would we speak dis-
paragingly of this good old "standby" among
trees, but to plant it on a small lawn is but
to spoil (in after years) the good appear-
ance of that lawn. By and by, when the
tree has reached maturity it will, by reason
of its mass of surface roots and the dense
shade of its leafage, kill all grass within the
range of its influence, and consequently, in-
stead of a greensward right up to the tree
trunk, as it should be, we have nothing but
bare earth in Summer and mud in Winter.
Such an area as this tree covers, to be devoid
of green, mars completely the lawn of small
size and, however well other portions of the
grounds might be treated, it cannot redeem
this glaring error of planting the wrong tree.
Running our mind's finger along the list
of small trees we shall be surprised to see
what a number of truly splendid subjects
there are available for many a position now
wrongly occupied by Maple, Plane, Poplar,
Linden or other large trees, whose useful-
ness is better expressed in larger fields.

Suppose, for example, we had a suburban
or city lot, say 30ft. x 150ft., to plant. After
the primary consideration and work necessary
to the securing of a good lawn is accom-
plished, our client would be the rare ex-
ception did he not express the desire for a
representation of flowering shrubs, evergreens
and hardy perennials on his grounds.

Should we, by a wrong choice of shade tree
reduce the chances of success with these?
That it is repeatedly done is very evident as
seen on many places where the balance of
power lies with some great greedy tree which,
while dispensing grateful shade in super-
abundance, has impaired entirely the success of
everything else. Oftimes the garden owner
himself will decide on the kind of tree to be
planted and will overrule our good judgment
and advice. When, however, the matter is
left to us we should see to it that the tree
chosen is one that will be proportionate to the
area of the ground and of a kind that will
not eventually mar the effect for which the
various units in the scheme were planted.

It is necessary and desirable, sometimes, even
in the case of the small property, to have a tree
of the larger growing type so as to furnish
shade at a given point. Even so we can take
the kind like the Oak, whose roots penetrate
deeply, thus allowing the grass a chance to
grow; or we may plant that type of a tree
of which the Kentucky Coffee and Honey
Locust are examples. The leafage, while giv-
ing comfortable shade, allows sufficient sub-
dued light to filter through to enable the
grass and other things to thrive.

On all properties, whether large or small,
there will be found many places where the
small tree will fit into its proper sphere.

PINUS FLEXILIS

It will find its way ultimately into all collections where beautiful and rare
trees are desired.

I HE hardiness and desirability of the trees of the Rocky Mountains is
taking a long time to impress itself on the minds of our planters.

Here is one of the Pines of Colorado and New Mexico, desirable

in every way, yet which is largely unknown in the larger collections of trees
around us. The fault is mainly that of the nurserymen. Customers would
get it and would be glad to have it, but where are the nurseries from which
it can be obtained ?

In common with all the coniferous trees of the region named, the Pinus
flexilis is well adapted to the climate of the Northern States. It is used to
both cold in Winter and heat in Summer. Taking Santa Fe, New Mexico,
as an example, the temperature of the season averages nearly as they do in
Pennsylvania, and all the trees of that region and of Colorado grow well
here.

A Pinus flexilis tree would grace any grounds. Its appearance may be
judged of from the illustration presented of a tree, then about 10ft. high,
perhaps the largest one of its kind in Philadelphia.

Seeds of this Pine are easily had from where it grows wild, and no one
has an excuse for not growing it. In company with Pinus aristata, Ficea
pungens, P. Engelmannii and the Douglas Spruce of Colorado, it will find
its way ultimately into all collections where beautiful and rare trees are
desired

much as they will be when more general notice is taken, of' -
the Winter beauty of their fruits.

Possessing similar characteristics, the Crab Apples, in a
large and beautiful variety, will in the future be more
frequently given a place of honor on many home

'''™h" Hght airy foliage of the Cut-leaf Birch, Bettila
alba laciniata, is decidedly pleasing, even in the young
stage before it really gives us the added attraction of
its pure white bark which, in Winter, is so conspicuous.
Rather high and dry ground will suit this
tree better than where it is very moist.

This particular liking for the uplands it
shares with the Mountain Ash, Sorbus
Aucu/taria, and Sorbus americam, both of
which are trees of medium size and attractive
in leaf, flower and fruit.

We should not forget the red flowered
Horse Chestnut, Ae.iculus cantea, which few
people seem to know. Slow of growth and
usually high branched because of being grafted
high on the stock, it forms a tree of unusual
beauty on a lawn when eventually it reaches
the. flowering stage. Its leafage, too, is re-
tained clean right up to Fall, which fact can-
not be said of some of the Horse Chest-
nuts.

While on the line of flowering trees, not
often do we see the Silver Bell Tree, Hale-
sia tetraptera; Judas Tree, Cercis canadensis;
Styrax Tree, Styrax japonica; or the Smoke
Tree, Rhus Cotinus, planted out singly to
form specimen plants. It is in groups or
among other shrubs that we chiefly use them,
yet the full worth and beauty of these plants
are only realized when, as individual speci-
mens, they are able to develop their full size
and symmetry.

Once in a while we are surprised in the
possibilities of the Tamarisk as a small tree.
Usually classified in nursery catalogs as
shrubs, they will, however, often attain tree-
like proportions. Of the several kinds, Tama-
rix gallica are the best, the latter blooming
in the late Spring, while the former flowers
in August and September. Were the delicate
foliage their only attraction it would be suffi-
cient to warrant their frequent use in our
plantings.

For cleanliness of foliage as well as for its
peculiar petaloid flowers, the white Fringe
tree, Chionantlms virginka, will always stand
out a favorite in small trees, remembering
that it delights in a moist situation.

Coming to the small tree of strictly orna-
mental foliage we should more often bear in
mind the beauty and grace of the several
forms of Japanese Maples. For freeness of
growth there are none better than the species
Acer polymorphum. The delicately formed
leaves on its slender branches are decidedly
pleasing and for the small town its use as
an ornamental tree should be more freely ad-
vocated. The popular demand for its red-
leaved counterpart (Acer polymorphum atro-
sanguineum, has, of course, been one reason
for its background position. Most people like
color such as the blood leaf Japanese Maple
gives and, unless the merits of the less coii-
spicuous green-leafed kind are praised, it
will ever remain a back number.

Acer Ampelopsilobium, Ivy leaf Japan
Maple, Acer aconitifolium. Aconite leaf Japan
Maple, are two beautiful varieties, leafage
green, but coloring in the Autumn so bright
that the beauty of the red-leafed one for
the time being fades into insignificance.

Two trees of exceptional merit for specimen
planting on the small lawn or where a
tree of moderate size is desired are the Kat-
sura tree, Cercidiphyllum japonicum and the
Chinese Elm, Uhnus parvifolia. The latter
is one of those few trees whose leafage re-
mains a delicate green until a real hard frost
causes them to shrivel and fall. Probably
in a mild climate this tree, like the ever-,

Shipping Carnations Abroad

-In our issue of Jan, 15 appears an inquiry as to
whether it would be possible to ship rooted Carnations
to Cairo, Egypt, either by parcels post or express.

In the present issue will be found most minute direc-
tions for preparation and packing which, if fully fol-
lowed, practically guarantees shipping of Carnations to
any point that may be reached in from one to two
months without danger of drying out or otherwise ren-
dering unfit for planting.

The writer has seen shipments opened abroad, im-
properly packed, which arrived in the worst possible
condition, shriveled up and the great majority of the
young plants dead. The packing had so dried up that
when the box was opened it was found not a quarter
filled. This result was entirely due to improper pack-
ing. A consignment came in from another . American
house, carefully packed, the loss on the contents of
which did not exceed one or two to the hundred. Both
sets of plants had been about ten days in transit.

Tariff and Legislation Committee

A meeting of the' members of this (S. A. F.) Commit-
tee has been called by Chairman W. F. Gude, to convene
at the New Willard Hotel, Monday, Jan. 24, at 9.30 a.m.

What Can Be Done

The subject of advertising; is. to use an old-time ex-
pression, like the poor, always with us.

True, there are many who declare that there are no
poor in these days, but we sometimes have our doubts
when we mentally figure up where we shall land after
paying the taxes and other charges that pour in upon
us. However, what we desire to draw attention to is
the accomplishment of the Portland, Ore., florists' pub-
licity committee.

Beset with all sorts of opposition at first, the com-
mittee went ahead and drew up a scheme that would
suit the conditions prevailing. Having got the scheme,
the committee next went after the needful and, to the
honor of Portland florists, they came across 100 per
cent.

At this writing, we are not acquainted with the
method of collection, but we do know that a sum of
$3700 has been allocated for local and national advertis-
ing.

Our newsletter from Portland is worthy of attention ;
after reading it let every florists club go and do like-
wise.

The Trade's Real Competitors

Robert Pyle in his address before the New Jersey
nurserymen at Trenton, Jan. 14, struck an original but
perfectly true note when he stated that nurserymen paid
too much attention to other members of the trade as
competitors, and overlooked the fact that their real
competitors were the various luxury trades.

We, ourselves, might as well consider the small
printer in some garret or cellar as a competitor and a
danger to our interests when, as a matter of fact, he
might as well not exist so far as we and our business
are concerned.

It is rather to our interest to cooperate with such
and, in the same way, it will be to the benefit of the
nursery trade to cooperate with each other, so that all
benefit.

As is made apparent in our report of the New Eng-
land Florists Association, there are florists, it was al-
leged, who deliberately go out of their way to injure
each other's trade. Such conditions in these days are
deplorable, but they can only be overcome by unselfish
devotion to the cause of cooperation by those who al-
ready see the light.

The remarks of Wallace R. Pierson and others at
Boston, and those of Robert Pyle at Trenton, are
worthy of close study. Those who fail to realize the
benefits of cooperation will, sooner or later, have rea-
son to regret their narrowness of vision.

American Carnation Society

National Flower Growers Association
Executive Board and Committee Meetings of the S. A. F.

All interested are once more advised that the 30th
Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the American Car-
nation Societj' takes place at Washington, D, C, Jan.
26 and 27, Wednesday and Thursday next, the meeting
to be held in the New Willard Hotel.

The First Annual Meeting and Convention of the
National Flower Growers Association will be held in
the same city, same hotel, on Thursday afternoon, Jan.
27.

Additionally, interest will center in Washington the
same week on account of the meeting of the Executive
Board of the Society of American Florists; these ses-
sions will also be held at the New Willard Hotel and
will occupy the greater part of Jan. 34 and Jan. 35. The
executives of the National Flower Show Committee,
the Publicity Committee and the Tariff and Legislation
Committee have also been called.

All in all, it will be a busy week in Washington, and
from all these various meetings undoubtedly many good
results will accrue for the benefit of the trade at large.

done for the industry. Personally, I should be willing
to guarantee a payment of $350 to $500 annually for
a period of ten years, and I herewith tender this offer
to start it agoing."

There is a hand laid face down on the table, and
beside it the beginnings of a mighty valuable jack pot.
We believe that there are a good many members of the
trade who share the belief that education and scientific
training can do much for the future of floriculture,
especially at this time. If so, here is an opportunity
for them to prove the sincerity of their belief and their
desire to bring about better things and better times.
In fact two propositions await their consideration — the
original Exchange proposal and Mr. Knoble's broad-
minded plan.

What will be the reaction of the trade on either, or
both? Who will 6e the next one to put his name and
his pledge under that of the worthy member from
Cleveland ?

The ball is rolling. Let's push it along.

Cincinnati, 0., Seeks Carnation Show for 1922

This city is a great Carnation growing center and a
number of local growers will make the trip to Wash-
ington to attend the Carnation Society meeting. It is
some time since Cincinnati was honored with a convention
of any of the affiliated societies of the S. A. F. and
plans are on foot now to swing the next meeting of the
Carnation Society to this city. K. E. K.

Carnations at Washington

Practically, for the first time since 1914, the Ameri-
can Carnation Society will meet at Washington, Jan.
26 and 27 next, freed from the various causes which
have more or less impeded its welfare since the opening
of the World War.

We say this advisedly because we do not believe
that the so-called depression in business will have any
perceptible bearing on the progress of the Carnation-
ists. This really is the only one factor which might
mitigate against the success of the meeting and the
future of the Society, but as the market for that
staple flower has not been over exploited, as was the
case with so many of our manufactures, and again
because no one is. carrying great stocks of high priced Car-
nations on his shelves as still is the case with so many
of our retailer merchants, the prospects for the Car-
nation making immediate and gratifying progress have
never been better.

Washington, too, is such a central city that exhib-
its can readily reach it from all four sides of the
country.

If the exhibits do not far surpass any that have
been made the past six years, and if the people pres-
ent do not exceed in number and enthusiasm the at-
tendance of the past six years, we, indeed, shall be bit-
terly disappointed. We have reasonable ground for the
expression of our belief that the 30th annual meeting
and exhibition of the American Carnation Society as
scheduled will prove one of the most successful in the
Society's history.

A Fund for Floricultural Education

Discussion of S. A. F. Permanent Fund Plan Brings
Forth Real Fruit

We beg to call attention to the letter from Herman
P. Knoble, published elsewhere in this issue as part of
the open discussion of the S. A. F. Permanent Fund
disposition proposition, put forward by this journal
some weeks ago. We are inclined to feel that if the
whole discussion brought forth nothing but this letter
it would have been worth while. For Mr. Knoble sums
up the situation, states a definite condition and a need,
and makes a practical, generous offer, calling upon all
who believe as he does to step up and do likewise.

Here Is His Proposal

"I have always felt the need of the suggestion being
carried out along the lines of creating scholarships in
scientific courses for the furthering of our business.
* * * I am satisfied that if some method were devised
whereby men interested in the business would subscribe
annually, for a period of years, a sum of money suffi-
cient to establish such an institution to go into research
work, it would be the greatest thing that has ever been

Native Plants and Pests

We have long held to the belief that many pests and
diseases native to this continent are, and always have
been, equally as serious as any that came from over-
seas. Indeed, it is an open question whether pests and
diseases have ever been limited to any one particular
area. Those that hibernate in temperate zones havCj
without doubt, been migrating from one point to aii-
other since the world began, and all efforts to extermi-
nate them or prevent them shifting about or spreading,
are equally as hopeless as bidding the sea to cease ris-
ing and falling.

The statements made by P. M. Koster at the New
Jersey Nurserymen's meeting (see elsewhere), regarding
the diseased condition of native Rhododendrons from
Carolina tend to demonstrate the futility of barring ouIj
foreign Rhododendrons which, as a matter of fact, are
infinitely cleaner, because no Rhododendron grower
could hope to produce salable plants if the leaf spot
(Pestalossia) is allowed to make headway.

So far as is known, the only check on the disease is
collecting and burning the affected foliage, and con-
sidering the fact that the disease is also capable of at-
tacking the Orange, Magnolia, Almond, Camellia and
other plants, one wonders what efforts are being made
to stamp out the disease among the native wildings.
Presumably the disease does as it likes and, in due
course, may break out among cultivated trees^ in a
virulent form. The disease apparently is a native of
both North America and Europe. . '

The lacewing referred to by Mr. Koster is presum-
ably not the recognized lacewing fly, which preys upon
other insects, but specimens found upon the collected
plants were evidently recognized by Mr. Koster as a
pest.

"Coming Down off the High Perch"

How Will the Return to Lower Prices Affect
the Payroll ?

This is a comnninicaiion and not an editorial
expression. The editor's idea is that if there are
flower shops lohich harje been doing a distinetiy
profiteering business, the sooner they come "dozvn
to earth" the better it will be for them. Conserva-
tive me7v, in any direction of our industry, -who
have been content to charge in a square ratio to
cover increased expense, should apprehend no
difficulty in gradually reducing their prices as cir-
cumstances dictate. To right away make an im-
mediate and complete drop to normal of 1914-16
is not expected and should not he attempted.
There are too many costs which will not keep a
sudden drop company.

COMING down oflf the high perch" is often a more ■
serious matter and more dangerous than getting
on to it. Many a giddy young rooster or even an •
old hen has, after several upward flights, reached tlje :
topmost beam under the roof and has probably thought
it the ideal place after getting there. If it wasn't for
some well-known reasons the fool bird would climb
higher and higher until it got out of reach altogether, '.
but "No bird ever flew so high but what it had to come ,
down again," and the higher up it goes the ;more dan- .
gerous is the coming down in the end. Our little bird
might easily reach old Mother Earth again if it came
down the way it went up, by degrees. But let it try
the descent in one fell swoop ; either because it wishes
to do so on its own account, or because it has been
scared off its perch, and the landing will be a serious;
matter. A crash, and dislocated or broken bones are'
sure to result.

Business and salary conditions together have gone
through the antics of the above-mentioned rooster dur-
ing the last few years. Up, up and higher up yet, haS'

The Florists' Exchange

been the aim of Imsincss. and its companion, tlie salaried
or wage worker, lias always found a way to reach the
same roost at the same time. Some time ago business
found that the toiimost rung of the ladder had been
reached and, with its faithful companion, labor, is look-
ing about how best to come down to safer levels with-
out hurting itself or making trouble for its needed
helpers.

The transition from frenzied business to plain, every-
day transactions is taking place in every establishment
anil, thanks to the earnest cooperation between employer
and employee, no disruption is anticipated.

The florist business, during the past few years, has
participated in the upward swing, so that all florists
are able to sav tliey have been the best they have ever
had. The volume of business done and the prices and
profits received have been away ahead of any former
years in the case of the grower, wholesaler and retailer
alike. The store clerks, managers and the greenhouse
helpers have, of course, benetited also; mostly because
an increased demand for help and a serious shortage
of the same constituted good reasons for demanding
a raise of wages, which demand was freely complied
with.

At the present moment an observant man should not
be called a pessimist when he mentions the evident fact
that the florist business, in common with every other
line, is feeling a let-up. But, while all other business
concerns are doing their utmost to comply with the
public's demand 'for cheaper goods, the florists do not
seem to have swung into line. There is no reason that
can be seen why they will not. in the end, have to do so.
When that time comes, and it is probably now as near
as it ever will be, he must naturally look around for
means to meet the occasion. Of necessity this will affect
labor and the question of wages. Retrenchments and
adjustments in other directions will, of course, also be
considered.

The writer has of late given much attention to the
situation, making it his business to interview prominent
employers and also intelligent men of the working
class. Of the latter his impressions are that a reason-
able deduction is more or less expected and will not
meet very much resistance. The workingman, if he is
sensible, understands that, with the price of many com-
modities reduced and consequently the purchasing power
of the dollar increased, he will be just as well off with
a proportionate reduction of wages and a steady job.
An abundant and increasing supply of unemployed
labor has a tendency to make the assurance of steady
employment look good. The above remarks do not
touch, in a way, the experienced trustworthy grower of
good repute, because this sort of man has to be hunted
for and can command a premium. And this is no more
than right. A grower who can give full satisfaction,
who is burdened with great responsibilities, and who
has his employer's interests at heart, is entitled to due
consideration and ample reward. The same thing must
be said of the top grade men in the florist's shops. Here
also, the man who is an artist in his line, who is intelli-
gent enough to meet capricious or exacting customers,
be they cranky old gentlemen or supercilious or fussy
young or old ladies of wealth, deserves adequate pay.
This more so, because he must be well dressed, live
well and in a good neighborhood, so that he may be
well thought of by customers who come in touch with
him outside of the store. The producing of floral ar-
rangements and designs is not a mechanical process, but
a creative art. It depends much on experienced judg-
rnent, taste and craftsmanship. Men with the real crea-
tive genius and possessing all the many other require-
ments which go to make up the ideal decorator and
salesman are very rare, hard to find, and often hard
to hold.

The owners of the uptodate florist shops know this
and, to their credit it may be said, that in all of the
interviews which the writer has had with them, not
even one entertained the least idea of changing the
status of their best men's salaries or conditions. Yet
they all agree that something must be done to satisfy
the public's demand for a reduction in the price of
flowers and decorations.

How to arrive at the desired end proves a perplexing
question, upon the solving of which the brightest minds
have spent much thought and time. Two different
plans are most considered and favored. One plan is
to give the business a thorough overhauling; lieginning
at the bottom, cutting out all the little needless fan-
cies and trimmings which have crept in during the late
nigh pressure period, when such things were consid-
ered necessary and profitable. This means doing away
with all superfluous help, figuring closer in buying stock
and supplies, and using less costly methods in delivery
and less costly material in wrapping and packing. It
means that, if the customer expects a lower price in
flowers, he must also expect and accept less ultra-high
cost service. A weeding out of surplus and inefiicient
help, and a willingness on the part of the remaining
staff to do their utmost, will appreciably cut down the
running expenses of any establishment, without impair-

ing its effectiveness or prestige. The whole thing is
simply a "coming down off the high perch."

The other plan has in view a heart-to-heart talk
between the employer and his staff. The employer will
plainly explain why the trend of the time demands posi-
tively a reduction of the overhead expenses, and he will
ask his staff whether the members will agree to a re-
duction of so much in their salaries, with the assurance
of continuing in their present positions, or whether the
employer shall be forced to look for cheaper help. This
plan has very few advocates.

There arc some other plans but they are simply varia-
tions of the above two and each embodies some of their
features.

The question of being able to buy flowers and plants
at a lower price from the grower does not enter into
the above considerations. The retailer well understands
that he is powerless in this matter; he feels that it is,
more than anything else, a matter of supply and de-
mand and, although he knows that some other factors
are also present, which tend to keep the price of the
goods, needed by him, higher than what it should be,
he cannot help himself at present.

The florist trade and florist organizations, with the
aid of well-directed publicity work, have worked hard
for some years past to educate the public in the un-
derstanding and use of flowers, also to develop the
love for these beautiful creations of nature. They have
succeeded to a very large degree in the undertaking.
It would, therefore, be a dire calamity and a pity if
the public should, for one reason or another, find itseU
compelled to hold aloof from buying flowers because
their price is considered too high, or because it has
not come "off the high perch" when everything else is
doing so.

New [England Branch of National Flower
Growers Association

The regular meeting and election of officers took
place at the City Club, Boston, on Jan. IS, at 7.30 p.m.
President Wm. C. Stickel called the meeting to order
and without much delay, took up the cause and aims of
intelligent cooperation between the members themselves
and in their relation to their organization. Coopera-
tion, he explained, is the vital issue of these times in
all business life and, wherever it has been properly
worked out, its benefits have been immediate and large.
The president cited examples where the price of glass
bought under this plan by the carload, came down to $6.50,
where a discount of 25 per cent on Nicoticide, and of 35
per cent on wire was secured through combined buying.
Cooperative buying through the organized efforts of the
association is most feasible and most apt to put the bal-
ance on the right side of the ledger. Mr. Stickel also
reminded his hearers that their organization is always
ready and willing to give its help and advice in cases
touching upon the problems of plant diseases, insect
pests, legal difficulties or any other matter that may
trouble members. He admonished all present to do
their utmost toward making the association a powerful
body in every direction, by doing which, each individual
member is certain to reap his reward as a result of the
concerted actions of all as a body.

WallaceJR. Pierson's Speech

The president then introduced Wallace R. Pierson of
Cromwell, Conn., who was heartily welcomed. Mr. Pier-
son is a man of wide experience in many fields and a
close observer. He has, moreover, when talking, the
knack of sticking close to the point and, while he mixes
a little of the humorous with his words, he also knows
how to bring in well timed and powerful arguments
and examples. The speaker took up the theme of national
publicity. He pictured under what hardships and dis-
couragements the beginning was made some 15 years
ago. How in the end the National Publicity Committee
started actual work with $25,000 and how it never had
more than $60,000 at its disposal to carry on its grand
work.

With these restricted and almost pitiful means, it has
accomplished more than many of the more powerful pub-
licity organizations of other trades, and its influence has
been felt by every florist in this broad land. The slogan,
"Say it with Flowers" has proven one of the most pow-
erful advertising expressions. It is recognized by the
highest authorities in advertising matters, to be a mas-
'terpiece of appeal for patronage in its particular field,
and it has not yet been approached by any other trade
slogan. Mr. Pierson went on to explain how the allied
trades and seed trade associations have nobly extended
their help, together with all the voluntary contributors.
"But," he also said, "more is needed to carry on the work ;
voluntary contributions are not sufficient and not to be
depended on. Individual membership with yearly dues,
proportionate to the business done, is the only true sal-
vation of the problem."

Coming back to the matter of cooperation,
Mr. Pierson alluded to the phenomenal success
which attended the efforts of the discouraged and

downtrodden Citrus, Prune and Raisin growers after
they had perfected their own selling organizations with
the help of a suitable publicity program. All the world
is aware today that the growers of the above mentioned
fruits have shaken off the shackles of the middleman and
that the grower himself is now in a position where he
can, himself, say what the price of his goods should be.
It was not an easy proposition to bring to a successful
outcome but, thanks to intelligent cooperation of all
concerned, the thing has been done. Mr. Pierson is posi-
tive that the same thing can be done in a similar way,
with the help of the National Publicity organization, for
the benefit of every grower of flowers, and he expressed
the hope that the National Flower Growers Association
will tie up with the National Publicity Association as soon
as possible.

S. A. F. President's Views

Thomas Roland expressed the view that the retailer is
not to blame if he buys his flowers where he can pro-
cure them at the lowest figure, but he believes that if all
growers belonged to the growers association they should
be able to regulate, control or influence, to a large de-
gree, the output and sales price of flowers in such a
way, that the grower can at least exist. Mr. Roland
also had a word to say about artificial flowers. He
mentioned that there had been a lot of criticism regarding
the sale and use of artificial flowers, but he asked,

William Charles Eger

After an illness of three weeks, William Charles Eger,
the florist, died at his home, 1408 State St., Schenectady,
N. Y., Jan. 3. Mr. Eger was born in Berlin, Germany,
66 years ago. He was a resident of Schenectady about
57 years and had long been in the floral business prior
to his illness. Besides his wife, he leaves two sons,
Julius, who is also a florist, and Louis.

Frank R. Steinbach

Frank R. Steinbach died suddenly at his home in Hen-
rico County near Richmond, Va., Wednesday, Jan. 12,
at 7 a.m. Death was due to heart failure.

Mr. Steinbach was well known to the trade generally,
being a frequent attendant at the conventions of the So-
ciety of American Florists, and was, for one term, vice-
president for the State of Virginia.

Mr. Steinbach was in his 42d year, and is survived by
his wife and sister. The funeral services were held on
Sunday afternoon and were attended by many friends
and members of the trade. There were numerous beau-
tiful floral offerings. His sunny disposition and hos-
pitable manner will be missed by the large number of
trade friends to whom he had endeared himself.

Charles W. Crouch

Chas. W. Crouch, who passed away Saturday, January
8, at his home, Knoxville, Tenn., was the second son of
Chas. Crouch, who emigrated from England in 1859,
and took up his abode in New York City, working for
Peter Henderson & Co. for some years. He came to
Knoxville in 1866 at the close of the Civil War and
went into the growing of flowers, vegetables and fruits in
a commercial way, erecting the first greenhouses in East
Tennessee. The late Chas. W. Crouch, together with
his brother, the late John Crouch, who died in London,
England, in December last, marketed their product in bas-
kets, carrying it through the streets of Knoxville.

In early manhood, he took up the profession of music
and carried this on for several years, entering the florist
business in a commercial way for himself in 1885. He
built up a large business and became one of the repre-
sentative florists of the Southland. Mr. Crouch belonged
to the old school, getting his knowledge from trained
English growers, and passed through the most interest-
ing years of floricultural development. He traveled ex-
tensively, was an interesting conversationalist and was in-
formed on a variety of subjects. He built up a local
greenhouse plant which in its early years was perhaps
the largest in the South, employing 40 people. He re-
tired from active business about ten years ago, the busi-
ness passing into various hands, but now owned and
managed by his son, William H. Crouch, who is doing a
profitable business. Mr. Crouch had been a confirmed in-
valid for the last two years, caused by hardening of the
arteries, his disease having been hopeless from the first.
He is survived by his wife and one son, W. H. Crouch;
also four grandchildren, one of whom, H. Brockway
Crouch, is connected with the force of John Breitmeyer's
Sons of Detroit, Michigan. "Southro."

The Florists' Exchcinge

"What can we do about it?" In his opinion the only
way is to educate the public, and bring to bear on the
public's mind the sentimental side of the flower's value.
Mr. Roland has no fault to find with any man who sells
artificial flowers for what they are. The hardware
shop or a department store are the proper places where
those things can be sold; they are the places where tin
or cloth flowers might be expected to be on sale, but
surely nobody would wish to go to a tinshop if he
wanted to send flowers to a friend or to a sick person.
Tin or cloth flowers would hardly be appreciated as a
gift; so why not work on the public's mind by bring-
ing in the sentimental side of what a flower really is and
means.

A Vigorous Speaker

Wm. H. Elliott spoke at length in regard to better
attendance at the meetings of all florist societies. He
thinks more, if not all, florists should enlist in the dif-
ferent florists' organizations and they should make it a
point of honor to attend every meeting and to take a
lively part in all discussions. The habit of hanging
back and letting George do it, is too widespread. Unless
the florists get together more, and make it their business
to gain notice and have their just demands considered,
just so long will they be stepped on and "soaked." Mr.
Elliott also attacked artificial flowers and their use; he
even went so far as to suggest that the florist slogan
should read, "Say it with Live Flowers."

Coal and Other Things

Wallace Pierson was asked what he could tell about
the coal situation and he went into the subject from top
to bottom. His intimate knowledge pertaining to trad-
ing in coal, came in handy when he described the ins and
outs of buying coal by the florist. It all simmered down
to the statement that the individual florist must take his
chances with the rest of the population, and that if flo-
rists wish to be among the preferred buyers, they must
organize and make their weight felt as an organized
body. There is no other way. An organization of all
the florists of the country will certainly make an im-
pression in the council of the coal magnates.

Allan Peirce and others spoke on the relation of the
flower grower to the retailer and, here again, as in rela-
tion to coal, cooperation was declared the only way out
of the dilemma.

Geo. C. Moyse, secretary of the association, deplored
the condition he found existing in many places where
his tluties take him. He related how, in many towns,
the resident florists consider each other as enemies and
how they do their worst to kill each other's trade. As a
matter of course, his remarks also landed on the solid
rock of mutual understanding, help and cooperation.

Election of Officers

The election of officers resulted as follows : President,
Samuel J. Goddard, Framingham ; first vice-president,
Thomas Roland, Nahant; second vice-president, Wallace
R. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn. Executive Committee,
for two years, H. H. Bartsch, E. Allan Peirce, Wm.
Sim; for one year, Wm. C. Stickel, Geo. Butterworth,
Peter Fisher. Geo. C. Moyse, S. J. Goddard and Wm.
Sim were chosen as delegates to the meeting in Wash-
ington.

Upon motion from Wallace R. Pierson, it was voted
to have the executive committee take advice and study
the rules and regulations of the New York Florists Pro-
tective Association and to report at the next meeting.

On a motion by Mr. Roland, a rising vote of thanks
was given to Wm. C. Stickel, the retiring president.

There were about forty members present and the meet-
ing, which was a most pleasant and fruitful one, came
to a close long after 11 o'clock. G. Th.

First Hand Testimony as to a Fuel Saver

In The Exchange of Feb. 7, 1920. you published an
article in which we explained the fuel-saving burner
known commercially as the J. R. S. High and Low
Grade Fuel Burner manufactured by the Mechanicville
Specialty Supply Manufacturing Co. At that time we
received a great many inquiries regarding it and every
week or so still brings us a letter from some florist
asking us if we would still recommend it.

We are always glad to answer such inquiries but
thought it might again interest some of your readers to
know of our experience using it. To the florist nothing
need be said of the weather conditions during the Win-
ter of 1919-1930; we all hope never to see them re-
peated. Yet we went through it and maintained our
regular night temperature.

This past year we built another large house and the
sectional iron boiler we had was not of suflicient capac-
ity to heat our whole plant, so we installed a large tubu-
lar boiler with a low grade fuel burner and thermostat
control. Up to the present date we have had only a few
nights of zero weather, so our last coaling has been
about 11 o'clock at night. The fire goes through until

7 o'clock in the morning maintaining a temperature of
50 deg. to 55 deg. and when it reaches that temperature
the motor stops. It automatically begins again when
the temperature drops to that point.

To the florist the cost of production is one of the
greatest problems, and to keep this cost down with a
commercial coal ranging from $13 to $14 a ton is diffi-
cult. We think we have partly solved it with this
burner which has given us great satisfaction and our
coal (which is entirely unsifted screenings) costs only
$3.35 per ton. We are interested in this burner only be-
cause our city is its birthplace and because of our own
experience. It has been used here in many of the large
blocks and manufacturing plants for some years but for
sometime we stood in a "doubting Thomas" line about
installing it in our greenhouse. Now, after using this
apparatus with its great fuel-saving qualities, we would
not in any way do without it. In closing would say that
we will welcome any one to our plant who wishes to
see it operating.

With best wishes for a happy and prosperous year, I
remain. J. M. Collins.

Indiana State Florists Association

Meeting well Attended Includes Excellent Exhibits

.\n enthusiast'c meeting of the State Florists .'\ssocia-
tion of Indiana was held at Indianapolis on Thursday,
Jan. 13 ; approximately 100 members were in attendance.
The most important business transacted was the election
of members for the ensuing year whereby L. E. Hitz
of Madison was made president ; E. E. Temperly of
Indianapolis, \'ice-president ; Oscar Carlsted of Indian-
apolis, secretary; Arthur Heidenreich of Indianapolis,
treasurer.

Silver cups were awarded Frank & Sons of Portland.
Ind., for t!ie best vase of Carnations and a display of
Roses. Other exhibits of Carnations were provided by
Baur & Stf^inkamn. F. Dorner & Sons Co.. E. E. Tem-
perly and Itel & Son, Greencastle, Ind.

Noteworthy exhibits of Roses were made by Frank
& Sons and Bcrtermann Bros. Co. There was also an
e.x'elient display of potted plants. Honorable mention
was awarded to Henry Rieman. Bertermann Bros. Co..
A. Wiegand & Sons and E. E. Temperly. The new-
white Rose Angclus was shown b}' the Fred Lemon Co.
The jur^ges of t'le exhibit were John Hartje, Carl
Smith and L. E. Hitz. The business session was fol-
lowed by a banquet, a feature of which was an excellent
talk on Roses bv E. G. Hill, Richmond. Ind.

Inconsistency

The paper read by P. M. Koster at Trenton. Jan. 14.
(see elsewhere) prompts several lines of thought, -'\monu:
them is the seeming inconsistency of the F. H. B., which
body, it is claimed, refused to allow the importation of
Rhododendron ponticum stocks for grafting purposes.

Granting that Mr. Koster is not fully acquainted with
the many and varied climates and soils to be found in
this great land, one must fain believe that his great
knowledge as a propagator enables him to speak with
conviction when he declares that only Rhododendron
ponticum is suitable as a stock for grafting, and that it
takes three to five years to raise seedlings large enough
tor working upon. .A.dd to this the fact that hybrid
Rhododendrons, after grafting, require from five years
and upward to make plants suitable for landscape work
— we know this must be true, because the Rhododendron
is a slow grower — and we can realize that plants of
good size cannot be evolved much, inside a decade, from
the time of sowing R. ponticum seed.

In the meantime, would-be buyers of Rhododendrons
must accept substitutes that cannot hy any stretch of
imagination compare with the hybrid Rhododendrons.
From these conditions is it not possible that those who
are working up stocks, will eventually find it difficult
to create a demand for the plants they have raised?

green Oak, Quercus ilex, would retain its leaf until the
new ones force them off in April or May.

The Katsura tree, too, has little to offer in the way
of Autumn color, but its heart shaped leaves, in the
Spring, burst from their sealed segments in a lovely
pink shade quickly changing to light green, and remain
clean and untarnished until the cold nights of early Win-
ter retire them.

It is hardly necessary to make mention of the several
Chinese and Japanese Magnolias. These, by virtue of
their floral beauty, force attention.

There is always a demand, too, for what might be
termed the fancy tiee, as represented by Catalpa Bun-
gei, 'Tea's Weeping Mulberry, Camperdown Ehn, Weep-
ing Japanese Cherry and others. Restricted and formal

positions will always claim a good percentage of these.
Bearing in mind, then, the principle of proportion, we
shall use foresight and give each unit its rightful place
in all plantings we undertake.

Nursery Firm Extends Operations

Purchases New Jersey Tract for Growing Stocks
Excluded by Quarantine 37

The Jackson & Perkins Nursery Co. of Newark, N. Y.,
one of the strongest establishments of its kind in the coun-
try, has chosen Shiloh, Cumberland County, (N.J.) as
the site of a branch plant and new operations, because
of the adaptability of the soil and climate for its products,
which are to consist of ornamental shrubs and small fruits,
including especially materials excluded by Qu. Z7, such
as Rhododendrons, budded Roses, fancy evergreens, etc.
In order to facilitate shipping conditions, etc., the Cen-
tral Railroad of New Jersey will run a spur track to the
grounds with a station and siding at Shiloh. Right of
way has already been obtained and Mr. Perkins lias
granted land for the station and siding.

The executive of the company has recently been in
the neighboring town of Bridgeton (N.J.) for the pur-
pose of arranging activities for the development of this
business, which will employ at least 100 men. Mr. Per-
kins says he expects to employ local people as far as
possible.

The new superintendent of the development, Roland De
Wilde, described by the firm as one of the best plant
propagators of Holland, has just arrived from Boskoop,
Holland, with his family, Mrs. De Wilde, and their four
boys. Mr. De Wilde, who speaks English fluently, will
give his attention to the culture of stocks concerning the
profitable, commercial culture of which in this country,
there has been much discussion.

Plant Propagator Wanted

An open competitive examination for plant propaga-
tor, with a view to filling an $1800 a year vacancy in
the U. S. Dept. of .'Agriculture staff at Chico, Calif.,
will be held on Feb. 3.3, 1931, according to an announce-
ment of the U. S. Civil Service Commission. The ex-
amination will cover (a) practical questions on the han-
dling and propagation of new plant immigrants; (b) a
thesis on the conditions best adapted to the successful
propagation and aftercare of new plant introductions;
and (c) evidence of practical experience along these
lines. At least five years experience in such work must
have been had by every applicant for permission to take
this examination. Additional information may be se--
cured from the Commission at Washington, D. C, or
any of its local offices.

Broad-Leaved Evergreens
Notably Rhododendrons

The value of broad-leaved evergreens, particu-
larly Rhododendrons, for landscape work, has
long been recognized. No line of evergreen shrubs
has proved more beautiful than the hybrid Rho-
dodendron in its many varieties. With the insti-
tution of Quarantine 37, these were effectively
shut out and, to date, no one has shown that the
gap BO caused can or will be filled in the near
future.

The paper here given, expounds the views of
P. M. Koster, formerly one of Europe's most
skilled propagators, now of Bridgeton, N. J.
Presented as an address before the annual con-
vention of the New Jersey Association of Nur-
serymen, it makes it all too clear that many years
must elapse before Rhododendrons of serviceable
size can be raised in this country.

WHEN I received the announcement of this meet^
ing, I learned to my great surprise that I wais
expected to speak about "The propagation and
grow'ng of broad-leaved evergreens,''

Our president, when asking me to make a short in- (
forma! address said in his letter: "The subject of broad- j
leaved evergreens, and especially Rhododendrons, will,
I am sure, be interesting to all of us and especially your i
views relative to what the nurserymen in this country
can do toward supplying this stock, whicii until last [
year, was almost exclusively imported."

I have not considered this to be an invitation to speak
about propagating and gmwing of broad-leaved ever-
greens, which subject could not be covered in the short
time at my disposal, though naturally the subject of
growing and propagating is closely connected with this
short address. When I received the invitation of our
president, I hesitated to accept, as it is impossible toi
touch upon the subject of supplying broad-leaved ever- [
greens, without also touching on Qu. 37. and we all-

Fifty Years Among Cyclamen

iConclwted from page ill)
mon scarlet. The most startlinp break, however, was
the silver leaved St. George. This came about through
the appearance of a scedliiiK salmon showing an un-
usual \arieRation. Within a few years the silvering of
the foliage had been developed until it rivaled the mark-
ings of Begonia rex, and it added another to the long
list of awards and certificates which Mr. Avery had
seen granted to his varieties. In the days when the
Royal Botanic and other societies used to provide classes
for Cyclamen, Avery and his plants were regular fea-
tures, but in latter years, exhibitions have seen little of
them except when a novelty needed introduction.

With the appearance of St. George, Mr. Avery got
busy not only with a view to still further improving the
variegation, but for the purpose of getting new colors.
He soon found that the appearance of yellow and pink
in the foliage made for weakness, so he dropped them
and devoted what little time he could spare to keeping
up the quality of the foliage and working for flower
improvement. Just before the war broke out, he devel-
oped a crimson and it was first exhibited in 1917 as
Crimson St. George, the foliage possessing all the won-
derful beauty of the salmon St. George. Long experi-
ence has enabled him to estimate how long it will take
him to develop a t\pe he has in mind but, owing to the
many lines that call for his attention, he has never made
a point of handling a great number of crossbreds at one
time.

The war, carrying off, as it did, practically the whole
of his inside staff, caused an almost total cessation of
breeding and selection. Only the fact that his wife came
to his assistance saved him from despondency and, for
practically four years, this old couple, truly Darby and
Joan, kept the Cyclamen .sfoing, doing practically the
whole pricking off and potting later into Sin. pots. It
may be said here that Mrs. Avery has for years done
much of the fertilization and the whole of the seed
cleaning and, in this respect, she has a counterpart in
Mrs. J. A. Petersen, who has always taken upon herself
the task of seed cleaning.

With the close of the war and the influ.x of more
labor. Mr. Avery has given more attention to rai.sing
and the silver leaved white and pink flowered varieties
are on the way. From his latest report, he has made
wonderful strides with his salmon and pink shades, and
as it was the writer's pleasure to see some of these a
year or so ago, it is safe to say that no salmons equal
to them are yet in commerce.

In conclusion it may be mentioned that the original
employer of Mr. Avery sold his nursery a year or two
later to H. B, Smith who, in turn, gave up iti 1S«7, when
the concern came into the hands of the present owner's
uncle, Mr. Saunders. The latter, wishing to have a dis-
tinctive business title, adopted the name of The St.
George's Nursery Co. At a later date he purchased
some M) acres of ground and some property at Har-
bington, Midsex, where he erected several greenhouses.
Until his death, Mr. Avery was overseer for both nur-
series, the new place being largely devoted to cut flower
crops in the open.

When L. M. Graves succeeded to the business, he
realized that two places some miles apart could not be
worked economically and so transferred the greenhouses
from Ealing and erected additional glass and the vari-
ous buildings required for an uptodate market grower's
plant at Harbington.

Here, outside the radius of London smoke, 'Mr, Avery
has developed some of the varieties that have made the
St. George's Nursery Co. famous for Cj'clamen. It may
be added that Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri, Cal-
ceolaria and Schizanthus, are the only other indoor
crops, the two latter for seed only. Some acres of open
ground are devoted to Sweet Peas, Asters, Statice,
Stocks and Chrysanthemum for cut flowers, but Cycla-
men are the first consideration.

Touching upon the culture of this latter it need
scarcely be said that Mr. KvQxy has tried every possible
method. Sterilized soil is always used ' for sowing,
which takes place at the latter end of July. Pans, not
boxes, are used. Earlier sowing results in precocious
flowering while later sowings count for little, inasmuch
that there are always plants that are steady in growth
and which arc suitable for flowering in 3in. pots. Covent
Garden absorbs far more plants in 3in. and 4^4in. pots

than it does of larger sizes and, as a general rule, it is
not customary to exceed 6in. pots.

The greatest demand is for salmon, while the mauve
shades meet with little approval. In regard to small
pots, it may be said that the St. George's Nursery Co.
has at times shown plants in Sin. equal to those pro-
duced in iy,m. in other seasons. The Cyclamen is what
may be termed a seasonal plant. In some years it sulks
and cannot be coaxed to flower freely by Christmas. In
other years Mr. Avery has sent the first plants into
Covent Garden in October.

With the characteristic care of old hands, he does all
watering with the can ; the hose is used only among the
greens. .Ml the benches for Cyclamen are solid with
bricked fronts and have a thick covering of sifted
ashes. The houses are all low and some 12ft. in width.

Thrips and aphis are kept down by fumigation and
sprinkling, but the most fearsome pest the English
grower has to face is the weevil. This long snouted
beetle is, in reality, the vine weevil, a sore pest to Grape
growers under glass. It is, however, an omnivorous
pest, and few European growers of Cyclamen are un-
acquainted with it. Where it once establishes itself, it
is practically impossible to clear it. Constant watch for
nibbled flowers and foliage leads to the capture of the
weevil which is the color of the soil. Its cunning is
beyond belief; it is a night feeder and, having had its
fill, it hides in the crown of another plant, or even
under a pot, a yard away from the plant damaged.

It sometimes takes days to find a weevil after it first
makes its presence known. If not caught within a few
days, it commences laying eggs, usually singly at the
base of the corms, and if not caught may lay 100 or
more eggs. These in due course hatch into white grubs
which eat off the roots. The plants so eaten are, of
course, doomed, as are the maggots, for every sick plant
is turned out and the soil searched. Fifty years' experi-
ence with this pest have failed to devise a better plan
of circumventing the weevil, but, until the war years,
Mr. Avery had always kept the pest under control. What
those war years cost the St. George's Nursery Co.
through weevil damage and other setbacks cannot be
estimated, but Mr. Avery and L. M. Graves are stickers,
and will assuredly carry on with Cyclamen to uphold
the splendid reputation of the firm.

New Jersey Association of Nurserymen

(Concluded from page- 111)
Next Annual Meeting

The question of the next annual meeting was dis-
cussed and it was agreed that no better place than Trenton
could he chosen, especially as they were assured of sup-
port by the State Agricultural Department. Robert
Pyle, on behalf of the Pennsylvania Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation, extended thanks for the invitation to the meet-
ing. Henry T. Moon, secretary of the Pennsylvania As-
sociation gave a formal invitation to the members of the
New Jersey Association to the annual meeting of his
Association on Jan. 27 at Harrisburg, stating that
Adolf Mueller would there give a descriptive address
on his trip in the Yukon.

John Watson, secretary of the American Association of
Nurserymen, regretted that ill health had prevented him
from preparing an address. He was pleased to be pres-
ent among them, but begged to be excused from an ex-
tended talk.

Adolf Mueller, whose youthful appearance would sur-
prise many who had heard of his doings as a botanist
and geologist, made some remarks on the subject of
prices. He deplored the fact that some concerns were
supplying landscape artists with stock at extremely low
prices.

The Gypsy Moth

Dr. Headlee, State entomologist, gave a lengthy verbal
report regarding the gypsy moth. The area in which this
pest was prevalent was considerable and it was estimated
that in the Somerville colony alone $400,000 would be
needed to fight this pest for two years. He described the
methods used against it and was pleased to be able to
say that through donations and State appropriations,
they were sure of being able to tackle the problem for the
next two years. Eleven powerful spraying machines,
each of which would use 2^ tons of lead arsenate dur-
ing the season of activity, were on order ; these ma-
chines would throw a spray 130ft. high. To cope with
the moth and exterminate it in New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts, where it was established would cost
about $1,000,000. While they were safe for two years, the
third year might prove serious. Massachusetts, through
failing to carry on the work so well begun, had now a
greater infestation. Enormous as would be the cost of
exterminating the pest, it must not be forgotten that the
moth could, if left alone, do more damage in one season
than it would cost to exterminate it. Dr. Headlee's re-
marks were much applauded and President Lovett said
they in New Jersey had reason to be proud of the work
done by Dr. Headlee and his staff.

Dr. Cook, State pathologist, reported that no serious
diseases had been recorded during the past year. He ad-
vised against the planting of Chestnuts, as no means had
been found to cope with the blight. The Poplar disease
was less serious than thought formerly. He had no belief
in the extermination of the rust on Berberis vulgaris ;
blister rust on the White Pine was not serious in the
State ; crown-gall was fast decreasing owing to care ex-
ercised in nurseries. He urged watchfulness in regard to
canker among Roses, and in the propagation of Peaches
he considered it necessary to use wood only from trees
known to be free from yellows.

The election of officers for the ensuing year was car-
ried through without any nominations beyond those sub-
mitted by the nomination committee. The result of the
vote was as follows : President, Wm, Flemor, Princeton ;
vice-president, E. D. Walder, Eatonton; secretary-treas-
urer, K. M. Van Gelderen, Long Branch; membership
committee. Walter Momm, Irvington ; executive com-
mittee, W. Fort Miller, Collingswood.

No other business coming before the meeting. Presi-
dent Lovett declared the adjournment at 4.45 p.m.

National Association of Gardeners

tanical Garden, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; George H. Pring, hor-
ticulturist, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, Mo.;
H. Ernest Downer, horticulturist, Vassar College',
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.

Committee on Quarantine 37: The committee ap-
pointed by ex-President Jensen last year consisting of
W. N. Craig, Massachusetts, M. C. Ebel, New York,
will be continued.

President Craig in his annual message urges that co-
operation should be the association's watchword. It

should cooperate with similar organizations, either pri-
vate or commercial, as its interests run on very similar
lines, and many of the association's problems are those
of other organizations also. He feels that the associa.-
tion should cooperate in every legitimate way with other
bodies, aiming to advance horticulture, repressing ex-
isting injustices such as Qu. 37 has caused, and handling
other problems where individual efforts might be un-
availing, but where in union there would be strength.

President Craig refers to the Plant Quarantine com-
mittee which has been actively engaged in a quiet way
to bring about needed changes, and hopes in the very
near future to make an important announcement of
what has been accomplished. He states that the out-
look for modifications are certainly brighter than they
have been at any time..

There is every assurance that the present year will see
the movement to interest young men in the profession
of gardening well under way. Two of the foremost
estates in the 'Country are now preparing to receive a
number of young men where they will have opportuni-
ties for both practical and theoretical training, and if
plans now afoot materialize, the association will have
a school of gardening, started by one, of the largest
horticultural institutions of this country, where joung
men after two to three years training on an estate can
secure a year or two of scientific training to help round
out their work.

In the campaign inaugurated at the St. Louis conven-
tion against the Signboard nuisance, the committee has
been somewhat disappointed in the lack of interest
shown by several organizations which promised to co-
operate if the Gardeners' Association took the initiative.
The Garden Club of America has indorsed its action
and has voted its cooperative support. An active na-
tional campaign to bring about an abatement of this
national nuisance along our highways will be started
shortly.

The Service Bureau, Mr. Craig says, is becoming na-
tionally known, and that positions have been filled not
only in the East, but in the West, Middle West and
South. There is no doubt that country estate owners
are recognizing the association as the source from which
they may obtain their efiicient and trustworthy gardeners.

President Craig directs attention to the next conven-
tion, which is to be held in New York City in the Fall,
and asks members to make plans for their vacation at
that time, and come to the Empire City, which is sure
to extend a cordial welcome.

The Florists* Exchange

Broad Leaved Evergreens

(Concluded from page 194)

know what a dangerous subject that is nowadays. It
is a subject akin to discussing the war in Holland at
the time it was raging ; one hardly dared to refer to it
without first knowing the feelings of the one we were
talking to.

Still, the war in this respect also taught us a lesson ;
we all became efficient in picking out the subject on
W'hich all, or nearly all, agreed, or on which it was not
diiScult to agree, and it is in this spirit I accept the
invitation to address you.

Hardy Subjects for the East

Speaking of broad-leaved evergreens hardy in the
Eastern States, one need not touch on Aucuba, Laurus-
Cerasus, many varieties of Euonymus, English Holly,
Prunus lusitanica, Mahonia and others. We all know
that, when planted, they are only struggling for life and
are entirely unsatisfactory. It is exactly this material,
however, which gives color to European gardens, and
for which, in order to get evergreen effects, we must
use other material in this country. We partly can find
this material in Andromeda floribunda, Andromeda
Catesbjei, Gaultheria and Cotoneaster. The latter, how-
ever, is hardly a broad-leaved evergreen, but all can be
grown without too much difficulty.

In addition, this country is bountifullj^ provided with
evergreens which can be advantageously used, there
being an abundance of Ilex opaca. Ilex glabra, Kalmia
latifolia, and Rhododendron in many varieties, all of
which can be collected in the woods as small plants for
lining out and growing on in the nurseries although the
process is a long one; long enough to discourage the
average nurserj^man.

The HybridlRhododendron

Foremost between the broad-leaved evergreens, how-
ever, stands the hybrid Rhododendron; the skill of the
hybridist and the good-will of Nature has provided a
number of varieties which display a great wealth of
color. Through selection, the nurserymen have secured
a limited number of excellent varieties which will stand
the severe, changeable climate of the Eastern States.

In latter years the demand for such Rhododendron
increased enormously; the landscape architects insisted
on having these varieties, which, when planted intelli-
gently, were certain to bring about the desired effects.
The times have passed when Rhododendrons were or-
dered without stating the varieties, just red, white and
blue and, in some instances, yellow. Unbelievable as it
may seem, thousands of plants have been sold by tree
agents, which were promised to flower red, white and
blue on one plant.

The splendid work done by Edward S. Rand. Jr.,
who, in 1871, published his excellent book on Rhodo-
dendrons, was bearing fruit; the amateurs began to
understand that a plant, requiring much skill to grow,
was worth its price and they were found willing to
give the plants careful culture. As Mr. Rand says :
"The Rhododendron requires careful culture. To those
who are not willing to give it, we say, do not attempt
to grow Rhododendrons, yet by so doing, you give up
one of the most beautiful of plants, one of the most
glorious ornaments of the garden, which more richly
repays the care it requires than any plant we can men-
tion."

Qu. 37 suddenly barred this gem from our gardens;
during the wartime no plants, to speak of, had been
imported and the landscape architects were deprived of
material, with which they could accomplish so much.
Deprived like a jeweler would be if he suddenly were
without diamonds or pearls.

The Question of Substitutes

Can a landscape architect use substitutes, can he use
substitutes without discrediting his profession? Is it
wise for the nurseryman to encourage the use of sub-
stitutes? These are questions which must be very care-
fully considered by our nurseryman. Is it advisable to
check the enthusiasm for Rhododendron hybrids, to sub-
stitute them by Rhododendron maximum, catawbiense
or carolinianum, however beautiful some of them may
be? Is there no danger that the amateurs in the future
will stick to substitutes and leave the high-priced hy-
brids, when once produced, alone?

According to my idea, we must be able to continue
to build up the taste for beautiful things and not check
it, not even temporarily. If it only would be for a short
period the argument would not be so pressing, but for
how many years will the hybrid Rhododendrons be un-
obtainable under the present regulations? The stock is
already entirely exhausted, the few plants still on hand
are at a premium ; how many years will elapse before
the nurserymen will be able to offer their own grown
plants? Let us consider this question carefully.

Difficulties of Propagation

There are no young plants to speak of in this country,
there are no stocks to graft on; the Federal Horticul-
tural Board allows the importation of some Rhododen-

dron for r^roduction purposes but without stocks to
graft on the process of reproduction is uncertain and
lengthy.

I have received many letters asking me how to grow
hybrid Rhododendrons, how to grow Koster's Blue
Spruce and so on. One nurseryman asked me if Rhodo-
dendrons could be grown from cuttings in sand and,
if so. what kind of sand did I recommend? Such let-
ters make me smile; how can one expect me to answer
such letters seriously? Have any of you ever grown
Rhododendrons from layers, which was the good old
way to grow Rhododendrons in Europe when time and
labor was as plentiful as sand on the beach? I have
no experience in growing Rhododendrons by this method
in this countrj', but presume that the soil in this latitude
will prove too hot in Summer.

Can hybrid Rhododendrons be grown from seeds?
Did any of you ever observe how slow seedlings of
Charles Dickens, Kettledrum, Boule de Neige and sim-
ilar varieties grow? And the faster growing seedlings?
They will prove to be undependable as far as color and
hardiness are concerned.

No cuttings, no laj'ers, no seedlings ; there remains
grafting, grafting on seedlings of Rhododendron ponti-
cum. I will take this opportunity to say a good word
on behalf of Rhododendron ponticum as a stock. We
all know that this variety is not hardy, but if the plants
are grafted right, the grafts very soon will make roots
and thus become independent of the stock on which
they are grafted, in other words, a perfectly hardy
plant will be obtained, just as good as a plant grown
from layers.

No Stocks for Grafting

In Spring 1920 I had the pleasure to discuss with the
Federal Horticultural Board the importation under per-
mit of Rhododendron ponticum stock but, unfortunately,
the board refused to permit the importation of same,
. claiming that the stocks could be grown in this coun-
. try, and could be grown in a shoit time. A couple of
weeks later, a nurseryman told me that Rhododendron
ponticum stocks. hea\'y enough for grafting, could be
grown in 18 months. I have just said a good word
in behalf of Rhododendron ponticum as a stock, but I
take it all back if stocks not grown, but "steamed" in
one year and a half must be used ; in Holland it takes
three to five years to grow a stock fit for grafting.
Can it be done in a shorter time here? I doubt it, in
fact. I know it caimot be done.

Native Stocks Unsuitable

Can the native Rhododendron maximum, catawbiense
or carolinianum be used for stocks? Our experience in
Boskoop is that it cannot be done; the texture of these
and hybrids is so different, moreover the root system
of collected plants would be entirely too poor. It would
take just as long, if not longer, to grow suitable stocks
of maximum and catawbiense. But suppose the F. H.
B. should allow Rhododendron stocks to come into the
country, how long would it take before hybrid Rhodo-
dendrons could be offered for sale? If the suitable
growing conditions can be found, it will take three
years to grow a small plant, and considerably longer
to grow a plant which could be used by landscape archi-
tects.

Gentlemen, my conclusion is that American horticul-
ture will be greatly benefited if Rhododendrons can be
imported for commercial purposes for a number of
years, as originally suggested by Prof. Headlee, during
which time the trade can readjust itself; it will give
a chance to everybody, large and small.

Praise of Ou. 37 and its Operation by One who
has Profited Thereby

When I first read the now well-known letter issued
by the Committee on Horticultural Quarantines, J. H
McFarland, chairman. I was, to say the least, surprised'
I would not have imagined that so many men could
be mduced to sign a document dealing with a subject
they apparently knew nothing about; yet I was aware
that one of the signers had imported plants under
special permit and therefore should have known bet-
ter True enough, he had evidently asked permission
only for the importation of from six to a dozen of each
of some 10 or 12 varieties of plants in which he is com-
mercially and otherwise interested, but perhaps that is
all he wanted; if he had asked permission to import
100 or 1000 of each variety, I am sure permission would
have been granted, but I suppose he thought such a
liberal policy was impossible and therefore asked per-
mission for only a hatbox full, for which a permit was
promptly granted.

opportunity to more carefully consider the number of

sometimes pare down my order to possibly one-fourth
of the number for which I held permits.

The Empire State Income Tax

The ioUotcing essejitial facta, secured
from the New York State Inoome Tarn
Bureau and the New York City acoount-
iiKj firm of Matthews ISrown & Co., are
printed for the lenefit of our several
thousand subscribers icho are residents
of, or who do business in this State and
icho are, therefore, subject to its income
taw regulations. Note especiiMy the im-
portant changes ma4c since tost year.

Among the changes made in the New
Tork State Income Tax law by the 1920
Legislature, the following should be given
special attention ;

Date of Filing Extended

The latest date for the filing of re-
turns (and the payment of the tax which
must be done at the same time) has
been extended from March 16 to April
15. This has been done to afford relief
to those compelled to file a return and
make an initial heavy payment in con-
nection with their Federal Tax.

The definition of "resident" for pur-
poses of taxation has been changed ; the
present law providing that if an indi-
vidual was a resident of the State at
any time during the last six months of
the calendar year, he is considered a resi-
dent for the entire year and taxable
upon his entire net income from all
sources.

The tax on investments has been re-
pealed so that bonds and other nego-
tiable instruments are not taxed by both
the income tax law and the investment
tax law.

Interest on Indebtedness
Deductible

Under the original law only a cer-
tain proportion of interest on indebted-
ness was deductible. By amendment, all
interest on indebtedness is now deducti-
ble.

The original law limited deductions for
contributions made to religious, charitable
or scientific corporations organized and
existing under the laws of the State of
New York, alone. Under the present law,
residents may deduct contributions made
to the sources above mentioned to the
extent of 15 per cent of their net in-
come.

The same exemptions apply, except that
if a husband and wife desire to divide
the exemption of $2000 between them,
they must take it in equal parts of $1000
each.

Take Inventories at Lowest Values

In addition to these important
legislative amendments, a radical depart-
ure has just been made in respect to
the taking of inventories. Under the new
ruling announced by the Bureau, tax-
payers, in their 1920 New Tork personal
income tax returns, who used inven-
tories, may adopt the basis of "cost or
market, whichever is lower," regardless
of their past practice, provided that this
new basis is used on the entire inven-
tories and that no further change of
method shall be made except by permis-
sion of the State C!omptroller. Individuals
or partnerships which it affects are not
required to secure specific consent for the
change.

The new ruling is particularly wel-
come to taxpayers who, because of the
consistently high selling prices prevailing
in 1919, took their inventories under the
old regulations, at cost throughout.

"Withbolding Tax" Regulations

«Txr-^'uJ^?. '^^. provides that the term
Withholding Agent" includes all indi-
viduals, corporations and partnerships,
including lessees or mortgagors of real
or personal properties, fiduciaries, em-
ployers and all officers of any State or
political sub-division having the custody
of disposal or payment of interest, rents,
salaries, premiums, annuities, remunera-
tions; emoluments, or other fixed or de-
terminable annual or periodical gains or
profits and income.

Notice tbat every person or corpora-
tion answering to this definition does not
necessarily have to withhold the tax on
moneys passing through his hands.

The circumstances under which with-
holding agent will be required to with-
hold the tax IS as follows:

Every withholding agent is required to
deduct and withhold two per cent from
all salaries, wages and other fixed and
determinable annual or periodical com-
pensation of whatever kind and whatever
form paid or received, earned for personal
services and taxable under this law if

the amount received in any taxable year
by any individual equals or exceeds $1000
(whether the employee is married or
single), unless there should be filed with
the withholding agent before the time
when he is required to make payment
thereof a certificate in form to be pre-
scribed by the comptroller to the effect
that the person entitled to such salary,
wage, or compensation, is a resident and
setting forth his residence and address.

This section of the act requires the
taxpayer who' is a resident to file a cer-
tificate with his emploer, and it places
on the employer the alternative duty of
withholding the tax or of seeing that he
has the employee's certificate. Employ-
ers of non-residents should take im-
mediate steps to protect themselves by
withholding a sufficient amount from sal-
aries to cover same. Under an opinion
recently rendered by the Attorney Gen-
eral, a withholding agent does not have
to withhold more than one per cent of
a salary or other income which is less
than $10,000. It is left to the conven-
ience of the withholding agent to de-
termine when he will deduct the amount
required to be withheld.

The withholding agent must make re-
turn of such deductions on or before the
15th of April, in each and every year
and must at the same time pay the tax
to the comptroller.

Every withholding agent is made liable
for such tax and is indemnified against
the claims and demands of any indi-
vidual, corporation or partnership, for
the amount of any payments made in
accordance with this law.

Income upon which the tax is required
to be withheld at the source is to be
included in the return of the recipient
of such income, and the amount of the
tax so withheld will be credited against
the amount of income tax as computed
in this return.

If the taxpayer shall pay such tax,
it is not to be re-eoUeeted by the State
from the withholding agent.

Where the tax is so paid by the tax-
payer, no penalty is imposed upon the
withhoding agent for failure to return
or withhold the tax unless such failure
was fraudulent.

Some General Rulings

Non-residents must also make a
complete return of their income on or
before April 15, but they are not required
to pay a tax on any income derived out-
side of New Tork State. Special forms
are provided for non-residents.

The exemption in the case of both resi-
dents and non-residents remains $1000,
if single. If married and living with
wife or husband, the exemption is $2000,
and an additional $200 is allowed for
each dependent whose sole support is de-
rived from the taxpayer, and for each
dependent child under the age of 18 years.
If a husband and wife desire to divide
the exemption of $2000 between them,
they must take it in equal parts of $1000
each.

Interest on Liberty bonds is entirely
exempt from any tax.

All cash dividends received from
stocks are taxable.

Tax forms will be mailed to all per-
sons who filed a 1919 return. The failure
to receive a form does not, however,
exempt the person from making a
return for 1920. Individuals paying a
tax for the first time, can obtain blanks
from the following district oflBces : New
Tork, Albany, Brooklyn, Rochester,
Buffalo, Elmira, Binghamton, Kingston,
Utica, Syracuse, White Plains, Jamaica
and the Bronx.

A New Tree Band

Reference was recently made to the
danger of using grease direct on the
trunks of trees, for the purpose of catch-
ing the various grubs and caterpillars
that climb.

A new form of band for carrying the
sticky material has recently been intro-
duced by a Canton, O., chemical concern.
Made of waterproof corrugated paper, it
is fitted to the tree so that it stands
out umbrella fashion, the sticky sub-
stance being underneath and thus pro-
tected from the weather and dirt. It
is put up in rolls and is readily attached
to the tree. A strip of fluffy felt pre-
vents worms passing through any
crevices on the tree trunk. It has been
approved by various State forestry de-
partments.

Tbe Market

The market conditions prevalent
throughout the Middlewest at the present
time, find us lined up under the same
tent. Rose stock of all sorts is so un-
equal to the demand, that some of the
commission men are compelled to unpack
their stock in the basement and parcel
it out to avoid being stampeded. This
shortage sent the buyers after other
lines and so made everything take a
jump. This condition was due princi-
pally to the fact that some of our largest
producers were off crop ; the dark
weather not being so much to blame as,
with a few exceptions, the weather has
been good. A change for the better is due,
in the next 10 days or two weeks. Busi-
ness as a whole is not quite up to last
year, but flower buyers seem to hold on
remarkably well, considering the market
conditions in other lines of business. To
the credit of the commission men, may
it be said that the prices were not
jumped to the gouging point, a fact that
was most sincerely appreciated by the
retailers, who are not in business to
drive people away.

Market Conditions

"A tight January market" mirrors
the conditions here to a nicety. Arrivals
of stock are light in volume, but to off-
set this, the quality was never better.
This applies to Roses in particular,
which are unusually fine. The short and
medium grades are in greatest request,
and therefore the values are materially
higher than the long, fancy lengths, which
move with less freedom. The period of
acute shortage in Roses, customary at
this time of the year, will last until
February, when new crops will be ready
in the principal local sources of produc-
tion.

Carnations have increased in supply,
but the values have not fallen. This
popular item is not up to the standard
of quality expected at this time. There
are_ various reasons adduced for this con-
dition, any of which might be the cause.
Tbe flowers lack the crispness and keep-
i°? Qualities typical of Carnations in
Midwinter. Growers cutting liberally are
now realizing a handsome profit upon
their sales of Carnations.
^ Bulbous stock is daily becoming a more
important factor in the display in the
wholesale houses. The glut in Paper-
whites is now over and the prices have
ascended. Daffodils are steadily increas-
ing in supply, which, however, is yet
inadequate to take care of the demand.
A few Tulips have arrived and are
eagerly absorbed by the novelty hunting
purchasers. Freesias are selling well and
greater quantities of them might be mar-
keted.

Sweet Peas are in very light supply
and good prices prevail for the limited
consignments reaching the market. Easter
Lilies are available in moderate quanti-
ties, but are not so popular because the
blooms arrive in a closed state, requir-
ing a day or two to open. When ex-
panded the blooms are nice and un-
bruised. A choice assortment of mis-
cellaneous stock is now at the disposal
of the retailer. Forgetmenots, Calendulas,
Buddleia Asiatica, Stevias, Euphorbias,
Single Violets, Wallflowers and Pansies
now occupy places in the price lists.
Home grown Asparagus is in light supply
and the demand is brisk for that essential
Item as well as for Adiantum, which was
badly depleted for the holiday market.
String Smilax, Leucothoe, Galax and
Boxwood are moving with the slowness
characteristic of this season of the year

January Business

Although counter trade is reported
light by representative retailers, an abun-
dance of funeral orders, many of them
substantial, serves to keep the businesa
of the present month thus far, upon a par
with that for the corresponding period
of last year. The downtown stores are
unanimous in reporting demanj firm with
sales well sustained and profitable.
Florists located in shop districts com-
plain of dullness caused by the curtail-
ment of the incomes of their patrons due
to short time and unemployment. While
an advance in the totals for the month
IS not anticipated, it is expected that
the month's business will compare favor-
ably with that of last January. The
labor market has eased considerably and
the prices of accessories have materially
fallen. It is thought, however, that rock-
bottom values have now been reached in
florists' supplies. By Spring, a new era
of business will have begun which will
place the business of the florist upon a
firmer basis than ever before. Only an
unshaken belief in the stability and future
of the profession, is necessary.
Club Meeting

The next meeting of the florists'
club will be held in the assembly rooms
at the Hollenden, Monday, Feb. 1. Presi-
dent Cook desires the customary liberal
attendance. j. MoL

The Market

The market showed scarcity in all
lines. Roses have been completely off
crop and prices have been high In aU
grades. Owing to the scarcity in Roses,
Carnations are holding up. Roses are
quoted at 10c. to 40c., Carnations at
10c. to 12i.^c., extra fancy, 15c. Jonquils
sell at 12%c. to 15c., Narcissi 4c., to 5c
The weather has changed ; we had snow
this past week and there are prospects
of colder weather, although a long spell
of Wintry weather is not expected. At
the time of writing it is clear and cold.
Neivs Notes

The St. Louis Florists' Club held
its first meeting of the new year at Wm.
C. Smith's Wholesale Floral Co. The
first snow of the year probably was the
cause of the small attendance. About 35
members were present, including aU the
officers. There was one application for
membership. The next meeting will take
place at H. G. Berning's, the main feature
being a Carnation show. Local growers
and outsiders are requested to send blooms
for exhibition. The club, on motion,
decided to defray the expenses of W. A.
Rowe as delegate to Washington at the
S. A. F. meeting. The club was honored
by the presence of Joe Hill of Richmond,
Ind., who, when called upon, gave the
members an entertaining social talk and
predicted a good year for florists in gen-
eral. Fred Ammann spoke in his usual
eloquent style on publicity and co-
operative advertising, and said he looked
forward to the National Flower Growers'
Association to push the work and do its
share of publicity, in order to stimulate
an increased demand for flowers; also
to devise remedies to overcome gluts
when they arrive.

The members were also given an in-
structive talk on the federal tax by Geo.
W. See, tax specialist, in order to as-
sist those who had to prepare their in-
come tax reports.

The Florists' Tacky dance was a suc-
cess, about 150 persons attending. Oscar
Ruff appeared in a suit becoming his
business — he came mighty near looking
like the undertaker.

Julius Dilloff is with us en route to
Kansas City. On seeing the scarcity in
stock he remarked we were not alone —
the same situation existed at Chicago
last week.

The best grown Cyclamen plants in
pots were displayed by Wm. C. Smith
from his greenhouses at Kirkwood. The
size of blooms and foliage was remarkable
for one year's growth.

ness on Madison ave., for many years

IHE National City
Bank of Cleveland
moved into its new
Iniikling the first of the
year. This is the oldest
National bank in that city,
as it has just celebrated
its 75th birthday by buying
a new building and re-
modeling it completely for
its banking rooms. The occasion was made more memor-
able by the large number of congratulations accom-
panied by fiowers, received from all the sister banks, and
various friends of the institution,

Sixty-three baskets, many of them quite elaborate,
were among the floral gifts. One of the features was a
large "Liberty Bell," which was about Ayiit. high and
6ft. on the floor. The bell proper was formed of white
Carnations, with a Boxwood frame. Plants of Pandanus
Veitchii set off the corners. This was the work of Knob!e
Brothers, and was much admired. This floral offering em-
phasized the small savings bank that was given away to
anyone depositing fifty cents on the opening day, in a
new account, which account is to be credited by the bank
with $1.00 at the end of the year. This was the big
feature of the bank opening.

C. B. Gates is cashier of this bank. He was the presi-
dent of the Ohio Gladiolus Society for years, and also
owned and operated the Way-
side Gardens at Mentor, Ohio,
until it came under the manage-
ment of Mr. GruUeman, who
now handles it,

A second picture sent us by
Mrs. Ella Grant Wilson shows
the 63 baskets referred to in
article "Cleveland Bank Open-
ing," arranged on the counters,
on tables, and along the broad
corridor running the full length
of the bank, also covering the
first flight of steps leading up-
ward on which rests the Liberty
Bell shown in our picture. Cer-
tainly the bank was well favored
by its friends and all these vari-
ous presentations must have had
a good effect on retail florist
trade in Cleveland that week.

Help Along Publicity

With all the work which has

been done on their behalf — that

by the trade papers for years

past, that by the F. T. D. since

its inception — the rank and file

of retail florists do not realize

what publicity means. Or, if

they do, they don't seem to care

a button so far as giving public

evidence of their interest is con-
cerned.

Publicity of the correct brand,

if adopted by the retailers

throughout the country, could

use up every flower just as fast

as it was grown, but seem-
ingly the vast majority of re-
tailers are content to stand by and take such business as
comes to them. They do practically nothing to tide over
the days of dull trade, but just take things as they are —
good or bad.

To the comparatively few retail florists who are alive to
the situation the close observer must feel deeply grateful;
if it were not for their efforts business conditions in the
retail trade would speedily drop back into their old chan-
nels of "every man take care of himself and the de'il take
care of the hindmost." Many, we fear, in this, as in all
other undertakings, are apt to express the belief that those
few who keep themselves to the front and who really are
doing so foi the benefit of their fellows, are actuated by
sordid motives, whereas the truth of the matter is that
these progressive men obtain recognition in the trade press
and in the public press simply and solely because editors
realize the necessity for good copy; higher yet, they
recognize the urgent need for pressing the cause of up-
lift as it relates both to improving the standard of the
trade and its physical and financial betterment.

The man on the very lowest rung has the same op-
portunity as the man who is at the top provided he has
a due appreciation of the fitness of things, and will write
for the press or present before his club subjects, ideas or
thoughts which, while undoubtedly helping himself in that
it makes him better kno\vn, are intended as well to assist
his brother in the trade.

step. There should be no fear and no diffidence on
the part of anyone if they have a new thought to ofifer.
It is recognized that the average man has perhaps just
as many ideas as the man who has carved his way up.
It is just this (luiet. secretive class we arc endeavoring to
draw out of their shells. They should not allow com-
paratively few men to be the sole interpreters on be-
half of thousands. All who have anything of value to
say are heartily welcomed. Men in business seldom utter
suggestions which do not contain some grain or germ
worthy of further development, so don't be afraid. Don't
he indifferent. Shell out !

The Employer
Henry Penn of Boston is recognizedly a successful
business man, and it may truthfully be said that his
suce'^s comes bec/insp he strives, whi'e helning himself,
to help others. With a brief covering letter he sends
us a little booklet written by David i5. Lawlor of the

is warmth for the flowers
of human affections to
grow.

"An employer must
have a sense of fairness.
He has, in his relations
with his employees, a
giant's strength, and with-
out a sense of fairness he
has tlTe brute character of

Wlien I
employees.

This short sermon is intended to penetrate the minds
of many who would like to come forward and make
themselves known, but who are afraid to take the first

This artistic and well proportioned Liberty Bell was one of the principal pieces at a recent Cleveland bank
opening. The bell proper was formed of white Carnations and the frame of Boxwood. (See text)

Julius Matthews Special Agency, which has so im-
pressed him that he was prompted to let us see it. The
booklet relates to the relationship between employers and

employees, and was originally addressed to the pub-
lisher of the Waterbury (Conn.) Republican.

Several gems of thought occur in the book and, with-
out doubt, they can be equally applied to the florist busi-
ness.

"It is possible for an employer to hang up a sign
in his place of business directing the employees to love,

honor and respect him, but were he to believe his order
would be complied with, he would be entitled to a nice
padded room in an asylum.

"You can command the body of men, but the mind and
soul are free, and these three attributes of the soul above
mentioned must be won, and can only be won by the de-
serving. It follows, then, that you must have in you the
positive qualities of mind and soul which attract this
trinity from those who are in daily contact with you,
much as the flowers open their petals to the warm rays
of the morning sun, and close again as he bids them good-
night and sinks below the Western hills.

"What is there in an employer that these three attri-
butes demand before they will shower their graces on
him? Frankly. I can only tell you in a general way some
things that have come under my observation from a serv-
ice of more than forty years. I find these positive quali-
ties are possessed by the genial man — one who has
warmth and love for his fellow men. I notice how all the
beautiful flowers of the universe live and thrive in warm
places. It seems to me in the heart of a genial man there

the savage. He holds the scales and reads the measure,
and if he takes advantage of the employees, he kills af-
fections and the qualities that flow therefrom. He may
have spent years in training his men, but by one act of
injustice he divorces the latter more surely than any de-
cree of human court could do. This act of injustice will
have its reaction when he least expects it, and prob-
ably when he is least able to meet it.

"The fair employer takes all employees at their true
worth as nearly as he can appreciate it. He is free
from all traits of prejudice which come from race, re-
ligion or social standing. The man big enough in his sym-
pathies to look upon all men as brothers never favors
one of 'our own kind' at the expense of others. When
a fear that such is the case creeps into the hearts of
those who strive for advancement through merit, they
are very likely to look somewhere else for reward. Mean-
while their services have not the value that they had.

"The good employer is charit-
able— not only in the sense of
giving to the needy, but in over-
looking the frailties of human
nature which are ever coming
under his observation. A kindly-
talk, a little moral help, and
sometimes a little financial aid
may stop a man from going to
hell any day, while bitter re-
proaches only grease the way to
make him slide down more
quickly. One of the most suc-
cessful employers I ever knew
told me that his great secret
was never to see too much of the
little failings that seem common
in human nature men are heir
to.

"It seems to me that the rank
and file have been given greater
intuition than those who occupy
higher places such as you who
depend on the intellect for
reaching conclusions. The em-
ployer who has taken some dis-
like to an employee and nour-
ishes this dislike, though giv-
ing no expression to it, thinks it
is hidden safely in his heart, yet
he betrays it daily by his bear-
ing and even the tone of his
voice seems to shriek it to that
employee. We learn from this
that it is better to 'talk it over'
with the employee and have a
thorough understanding, thus
preventing what will otherwise
in the long run end in a breach
that cannot be healed."

Words of Advice to F. T. D. Non-Members

BY MAX SCHLING

had a small business and but two or three
if on a rainy day one of the men had to go
out and had no umbrella. I loaned him mine. I had in
the corner of the place my raincoat and my hat. No
matter who was short of one or the other article and
needed it. it did fit to a T when it was wanted. When
business grew and there were thirty employees and
more, it still happens once in a while that when one or
the other needs a raincoat I had mine on hand, or my
umbrella. My coat and my umbrella did service when
they were wanted and they fitted everybody. And so it
is with the F. T. D. When it is wanted it does the
service.

A lot of people still claim that they do not need the
F. T. D. They claim that they can live without it. and
all of a sudden something turns up and they are mighty
glad to have the F. T. D. A florist should not think
only of orders which he could receive, even thougli it is
very nice to get unexpected orders by mail or wire,
especially at a quiet time. The florist should think of
how nice it is to be able to send out an order to a dis-
tant point, and how important it is for us to know that
the man in the distant town will take care of it at least
as carefully as we ourselves, and how much more imp^r-

Orders for VermoDt and Northern N. Y. =
filled to your entire aatisfaction. |

tant it is that the man considers the ordci
more than he would his own order, and
that if he should make a mistake he will
make good just as we would make good.
How much educational work has been done
by the F. T. D. to bring it about that
so few mistakes are made? No one can
tell, because no record has been kept.
Did you, Mr. Non-member, ever consider
what it would be if you should get an or-
der to deliver at some place a thousand
miles away where you are not known? To
get that order filled immediately, you
would have to send money or references
by telegraph; you would have to worry
how that order will be filled should the
florist to whom you sent it not be an F.
T. D. member, as you are not. Why did
you not join before this?

What are the reasons some good florists
are not F. T. D. members? These rea-
sons vary. In my efforts to secure new
members I imearthed a few. How many
more there are we will try to find out, and
counteract, if possible.

One of my neighbors in New York, who
was extremely particular in his work, and
at whose place I called more than a dozen
times before I secured his application, ob-
jected to the uncertainty as to how his
orders would be filled. His words were,
"When I have a bunch for Philadelphia I
ship it from here. If a customer pays $12
for a dozen Roses, and wants two dozen at
$12 for a nice floral spray, how can I tell
that the order will not be filled with two
dozen short stenuned roses at $3
or $4; and how do I know that the spray
will be made the way it should be? And
if a customer buys a Cyclamen for $10
who will give me assurance that
the Cj^clamen will be as nice as mine?
When I have a basket for $35 or $40,
and there is $5 or $6 expense for de-
livery, what do I care so long as I know
that the basket is delivered right, and
the right kind of basket, the way the cus-
tomer wants it?" These questions were
nothing new to me. I had the same ideas
20 years ago. I remembered 15 yeanmo,
when we sent to Missouri $2500 wemQi of
funeral work, accompanied by a man* and
I remember 14 years ago when we
sent a man with $2000 worth of fimeral
work to a little town in Ohio. Now we
don't do these things any more. Work in
flowers is being standardized. We find in
little shops, in little hamlets, men able
to do good work the same as in the large
cities. Sometimes the men in the smaller
towns are better business men than those
in larger cities. The F. T. D. taught us
that we have to depend on each other and,
by putting responsibility on us the F. T.
D. made us able to carry that responsi-
bility. If we did not get a chance to
prove what we are we would not be nearly
as efficient.

With these larger orders for distant cities,
no matter if they run up to three, four
or five hundred dollars, or more, we need
make no deliveries — we do not have to de-
liver these orders any more. Our brother
florists deliver them for us. They make
them up for us. We have had, on sev-
eral occasions, to place large orders
for weddings and covers, and only once in
quite a number of years it happened we
had to make the delivery, because the
point was in the mountains where the
nearest florist was two hundred miles
away, and it was too late for him to secure
the stock in time to fill the order. In fact,
we get in trouble at times through our
willingness to transfer personal orders be-
cause some people want personal work
from us to be sent by messenger, and when
we do try to talk them into letting us
place the order with F. T. D. meinbers
they consider it a lack of goodwill on our
part, but sooner or later we convince

them that they are always better taken
care of when they have faith in the F.
T. D.

We have to use the same efforts to
conWnce our unbelieving brother florists
that thev are better on by being mem-
bers of the F. T, D,; that they not only
save work and worry and expense, but
tliat they make their business more profit-
able by giving to the other fellow who
gives back to them. The type of florist
who but needs to be convinced that the
other man does just as good work as he
himself, is the easiest type to convince.

There is another kind somewhat harder
to handle. In a little town with four
or five florists one of the younger es-
tablished firms has a friend in the F.
T. D., whom he believes, and who had told
liim what a cinch it is to be a member,
and how little it costs in proportion to
the benefits it gives. How much better
it is to buy ?15 worth of stock in the F.
T. D., and how much more dividends the
ii;lo brings than would $1000 in a suc-
cessful rubber tire company! He joins,
and the old established firms in his toyra,
not aware that they had received invita-
tions by mail from Mons. Push-a-long,
which they treated as advertising matter ;
and possibly threw in the waste bas-
ket, are sore that they were not the
ones asked first; this false pride, which
holds them back from joining a successful
undertaking, at the same time withholding
from us the cooperation of a successful
business man and prospective good mem- '
ber,is hard to overcome, and we have to
work the harder to convince tliese men i
that they do an injustice to us and to j
themselves by not joining. \

It is not who comes in first; it is who
comes in at all, because every member,
when acquainted with our clean and heal-
thy methods, becomes a booster for in- |
creased business.

Where we are up against the wall and ,
where we have real hard nuts to crack |
is when we come across a brother flo- i
rist who does not want to cooperate. There I
are different reasons why many do not ,
care to cooperate with others. One pos- ,
sibly has had unsatisfactory business deal- ■
ings" Avith a brother florist and measures
all others with the same measure and is
discouraged. One may have been progres-
sive, others failed to follow him, and he
was also discouraged. Another one may
have so large a business that it takes
all his time, and he, again, is willing to
cooperate and does cooperate without join-
ing, but he does not care to have the
out of town business because he feels he
has all he can justly take care of. Those
wlio do cooperate in deed if not in name
are welcome helpers. Those who have
one or the other reasons we can gradually
turn our way and make good members
of, but where we are up against a real
hard proposition is how to get a man into
the association who is all alone in a sec-
tion of the country without any competi-
tion, who fills the orders which are sent to
him the best he knows how (most of them
do fill them all right) , but who tries
to save the $o or $10 a year for mem-
bership because he has the opinion, "Why
should I spend that money for member-
ship when there is no one else here to
whom they can give the orders?" This
man forgets that there is a law of retri-
bution, that sooner or later some one,
aware of tlie increased business the F .
T. D. brings into these certain sections,
some young enterprising man, will start a
place of his own and become a member,
and that the moment an F. T. D. florist
starts he will draw the largest percent-
age of the incoming business, and that
then it will be too late for him to coun-
terbalance that bad impression he made
by not wanting to join an association
which does so much good for the florist
business.

There are a few of the old workers
in the F. T. D. who have been working
hard for years, not so much to get or-
ders from their brother florists, as to
broaden the territory where orders can
be placed, to find towns or sections of
the country where there is no florist es-
tablished. Our colleges are producing well
trained and enterprising young men who

are looking for such chances. F. T. busi-

ness is getting larger. This endeavor to
hnd men or places everjnvhere in sections
where there are none has to be generalized,
and every member's duty is, when coming
across sections which might give a florist
a good income and he cannot start tliere
liimself, to let it be known to others.

The time should not be far distant when
there will be an F. T. D. florist every-
where throughout tlie less populated sec-
tions, every fifty miles, so that we really
can say we can deliver everywhere on
short notice, within a few hours, and make
good. There still are innumerable sec-
tions with no florist around tor a hundred
miles or more. The population there is
willing to buy flowers but they do not get a
chance because there are none for sale.
The more new places created does not
n\ean less business for those already es-
tablished. The new man draws new peo-
ple. His immediate friends and acquaint-
ances, many of whom never thought of pur-
chasing anything in flowers, say, when oc-
casion arises, "Why not buy something
from our friend instead of buying some-
thing entirely different?" A new- man
may have new methods which create desire
for flowers.

A proof of that is the F. T. D. in New
York. Since last Spring we have man-
aged to secure sixteen new F. T. U. meru-
bers. Sixteen new members means a di-
vision of business, because these new mem-
bers do get some business which otherwise
we few old members would nave had from
houses which expect returns on their or-
ders. Sixteen new members out of thirty-
nine is a strong proportion. Do we get
less business from our brother florists from
out of town, or do we get less business
from the public to be sent out of town?
No. We are getting just as many orders
from our F. T. D. members to fill for
them in New York City; in fact, we
are getting a little more than we did get
last year and our orders from the pub-
lie to be telegraphed to our brother flo-
rists increased since last Spring about 35
per cent. That shows that there is room
for still more, because not only did our
business increase, but I am sure the busi-
ness of all the other members increased,
some more and some less, according to
their ability and according to their ef-
forts.

Nothing could be better than to have
every good florist in N. Y. City or else-
where be an F. T. D. member. You, Mr.
Florist, who are a non-member, make up
your mind to join our ranks, to be a
worker with us, to do what we are doing,
carving a better future for ourselves and
our children.

Give this a little thought, get an ap-
plication and get an F. T. D. member to
endorse it for you. Send it in immediately.
Help yourself, join the F. T. D., and the
F. T. D. will help you.

Bridgeport, Conn. — Under the head-
ing of "Pen Pictures of Prominent
Bridgeporters," the Bridgeport Telegram
recently published an amusing caricature
of Robert H. Hawkins, the "Tell it with
Flowers" man of Main st. It also gave
a few details about the florist, stating
that he started his career at Reek's, later
being connected with Horan and fourteen
years ago launched in business for him-
self.

Bainbridge, Ga. — W. A. Dole, owner
of Dole Florist Co., is enlarging and im-
proving bis place of business and green-
bouses. Mr. Dole came to Bainbridge
from Nebraska three years ago^ and
bought two acres of forest land in the
edge of the town. By appying his
knowledge of soils to his land, he has
produced both in and out of the green-
houses wonderful Roses, Chrysanthemums
and Carnations. He is now preparing
to make his greenhouses range among
the largest in the South.

The Westdiester and Fairfield
Horticultural Society

The regular meeting of the West-
chester and Fairfield Horticultural So-
ciety was held on Friday, Jan. 14. Some
of the finest specimens of flowering plants
were exhibited. For a grand vase of
euphorbias, Wm. Smith received first
prize; for a giant Cyclamen, J. Stuart
was awarded second prize ; for a fine
Buddleia, R. Williamson received third
prize. A most attractive display of
vegetables by Mr. Williamson captured
the first prize. The main topic was the
annual dinner of the society, to be held
at Lawrence's Inn, Mamaroneck (N. Y.)
Wednesday, Jan. 26, at 7.30 p.m. Tickets
for the dinner are $3, and can be secured
from Wm. J. Sealey, Port Chester, N. Y.,

The middle of January finds us still
enjoying the finest Winter weather ex-
perienced here in many years and, no
matter what the rest of the Winter
brings, we have already reaped the bene-
fit of bright sunshiny weather during
nearly three weeks of the worst of the
short days of the season. From now on,
the hours of daylight will tell the tale
on stock inside, and for the Spring bloom-
ing, plants near the time of their natural
blooming respond to forcing treatment
quickly.

All this is very much like velvet to
the grower, especially when we remember
that Easter will be moderately early
this year and, as prices are likely to
moderate also before the Spring sea-
son is nearly done, every fine week dur-
ing the present month counts for much,
and is welcomed.

Business, on the whole, has kept up
quite nicely since the holidays, some lit-
. tie entertaining going on, shipping- trade
I fair, and the old standby, funeral work,
; quite brisk the last week or so, so the
I stock is so closely used up as to be really
1 short some days.

; Prices are at the Midwinter level,
i Carnations selling for $1.50 to $2 per
I doz., Roses $2 to $5 per doz. By the way,
Columbia seems to be a popular variety
' with the growers here, giving a fine cut
j of first class flowers which again are
! good sellers. I understand the opinion
prevails it is the most profitable of all this
I season. Van Bochove's are having great
j success with it this year and will probably
[ plant more in this season. On the other
! hand. Carnations seem to be harder and
! harder to grow with profit and are truly
j a poor man's flower all round, for the
j poor man buys it, and it keeps a man
poor who tries to grow it extensively,
I which is too bad. as the Carnation is too
1 useful a flower to be put tn the discard
I entirely. The fact is, they yield too few

flowers in Midwinter to pay their way»
and the having to plant new stock yearly
makes them a costly plant by the time
they are benched. Adding to this their
susceptibility to so many diseases, alto-
gether they often become a liability rather
than an asset, so the wise are side-
stepping them as far as possible. Local
nurserymen tell me their business so far
is even better than that of last year,
but I think are a little more concerned
about bow the collections will average up.

Trade Notes

Jan. 13. — There has been a decided
improvement in the business activity for
the past week ; stock has been moving
briskly and cleaning up daily. Roses,
owing to the dark weather, have been
getting shorter in supply ; the few hours
of sunshine we had in the past few
months, did not help the bushes to break.
It will be at least another month be-
fore they are again in a growing con-
dition. Carnations are about equal to
the demand and, as they have dropped
to $1.50 and the select to $2, they are
again being purchased for home use.
Laddie is still bringing $3 per doz.
Freesias are moving better and the main
early crop being off, all feel better that
have Freesias to sell. Potted stock is com-
' ing in for its usual early Spring sale,
I but there are not enough bulbous stock
to go around, as the bulbs that arrived by
I express for early forcing have been sold.
Hyacinths are making their appearance
and are sold on sight. There are still
I a good many Cyclamen that were not
j ready for Christmas ; these are finding a
j good sale. Primula obconica is now much
I in evidence and when a cheap plant is
1 wanted, it fills the bill.

Portland's Advertising Campaign

Probably the one outstanding
news item of the week is the 100
per cent advertising program that has
been launched by the Oregon Florists'
Club. Every shop and grower came
through without a question. After two
preliminary meetings, one that has al-
ready been reported and the other held
at the Hazewood on Friday the 7th,
the speaker of the day was Guy French,
who delivered an address that had much
to do to make the program successful.
The meeting was called without the sub-
mission of a definite program and so
the proposition was pretty generally
argued. As the matter of assessment
was not settled and, as the first thought
of one-half of one per cent did not
meet with the proper support, the com-
mittee consisting of E. J. Steele, A. J.
Clarke, B. Tonseth, J. G. Bacher and
Fred Young, stayed unti midnight mak-
ing- out an assessment schedule. Con-
tracts were printed and everyone of the
trade responded, and so for the initial
trial, the sum of somewhat over $2700
will be available for the year. Twenty
per cent of this sum is to go to the
; S. A. F. national publicity campaign
and the rest will be given over to an
advertising agency to handle locally.
' The permanent committee who will super-
I vise the expenditures, etc., are J. Mar-
I tin, E. J. Steele, A. J. Clarke, R. B.
I Gehr. Much credit is due our presi-
dent, B. Tonseth, for the patient way
in which he handled the situation, as
' many a man would have been dis-
couraged with the opposition that wag
! at first met, but which was finally over-
i come. Much credit is also due E. J.
I Steele, who personally solicited all
parties concerned, and, as he stated it,
I it was a pleasure to see the way every-
j body came across and put the thing over
I at the 100 per cent mark.

I Payments have been or will be made
I on or before Jan. 15, and in some in-
stances, outsiders in the country towns
I and cities declared that they wished to
I do their share and help the fund along.
Relative to the parties having individual
subscriptions to the S. A. F. Fund, it is
understood that the local contract will
take care of that, although some will
keep up their personal subscriptions any-
way- This will net the S. A. F. Fund
better than $540, or more than twice
the sum that they are now receiving.

The success of this venture is as-
sured by the spirit in which it has been
started and we can look forward when
this annual fund will grow until it will
be many times as large as it now stands.
Gentlemen, it is good business.

Tlie Market

Jan. 18. — The general . arrivals of cut
flowers in the wholesale market during
the closing days of last week and the early
days of this, were rather limited and the
demand for these, for the most part, was
equally small, indeed, not quite large
enough to give a proper balance to the
market.

Am. Beauty Roses are in small sup-
ply; special grade blooms are bringing
7oc. to |1.2o each, other grades, propor-
tionate prices. Other Roses are in medium
.supply; the demand is not large. Top
grade bletoms are selling at r2c. to 60e.
each; Xo. 2 grade blooms, which continue
to meet with a far better demand than
the higher grades, bring §5 to §12 per
100.

The supply of Carnations is somewhat
larger, but not so with the demand; spe-
cial grade blooms are selling at §6 to §8
per 100, with occasional sales of choice
blooms at $10. Culls to ordinaries are
going at S4 to $5, and are disposed of with
difficulty.

The arrivals of Cattleyas are larger and
they are meeting with a medium demand
only at prices ranging at 25c. to 50c. and
in occasional sales of very choice blooms
at 75c. each. Lily of the Valley is in large
supply and moving out slowly at §2 to $6
per 100. There is a moderate supply of
white and a email supply of pink Lilies;
the former are bringing S20 to $25, and
the latter §10 to $15 per 100. Gardenias
continue to be in steady supply, and are
selling at $1 to §6 per doz., sales at the
$6 price being somewhat exceptional.

The market is moderately well supplied
with bulbous flowers. These include Callas,
Freesias, Paperwhites, Trmnpet Major and
Golden Spur Narcissus, and .Tulips, all of
which are meeting with a* medium de-
mand at quoted prices. This is true also
of the several kinds of miscellaneous flow-
ers in the market, namely. Antirrhinum,
Calendulas, Bouvardia, Buddleia, Lilac,
Jlignonette, Myosotis, Stevia, Stocks, '
Sweet Peas, Violets and Wallflowers. i

Of the several kinds of greens, Aspara- ;
gus and Smilas are both in larger supply ,
and prices have declined somewnat.
Hai'dy greens are meeting with a steady
demand at quoted prices.

New^s Notes

New York City this week has experi-
enced the coldest weather of the Winter,
the thermometer registering several mor -
ings as low as 7 to S degs. above zero.
The weather during this period has been
clear, but high winds have prevailed.
Such weather usually stimulatees social
functions and should be beneficial to the
retail florists' business.

Friday, Jan. 14, was the Greek New
Year Day. The Greek florists through-
out the city celebrated the day by many
social functions.

On Sunday, Jan. 16, Louis Demes, of
the D. D. Flower Shop, Lexington ave.
at 86th St., and Miss Helen Manoritz
were married, thus celebrating the be-
ginning of the Greek New Year by form-
ing a new partnership. Soteris Danas
is reported to have been the best man.

Secretary John Yotmg has received a
souvenir postal card from Mr. and Mrs.
A. Schultheis from Miami, Fla., where
they are stopping at Boyd Cottage. The
card says; "Mr. and Mrs. A. Schulthei.s
send greeting to you from the Sunny
South, 70 to 75 deg. day time. Weather
fine, no rains since we are down in
Miami."

Paul Rigo, manager of the Henshaw
Floral Co., on Tuesday of this week,
advises us that A. M. Henahaw, presi-
dent of that company, continues to make
favorable progress toward complete re-
covery.

We noted recently some unusually fine
Buddleia asiatica, and also equally fine
white Lilies and Sweet Peas and white
and colored Freesias at I. Goldstein's.
The Buddleia asiatica appears to be about
the only flower in the market which can
be used as a substitute for Lilac, which,
by the way, is arriving in but small
quantities so far this season. The
colored Freesia, sometimes spoken of as
;i Rainbow Freesia, can also be used by
the retail florists in many cases where
the pure white Freesias would not be
desirable.

We noted this week the first stocks of
the season at J. S. Fenrich*s.

The Carnation Laddie is said to be a
not very large producer, but its blooms
are certainly handsome. It is, without
question, the most beautiful pink Carna-
tion on the market. We noted recently
some fine blooms of this variety at Edw.
Brenner's, who is receiving a regular
supply of it, also white Freesias of ex-
cellent quality.

The Saturday Graphic of the New York
Evening Post of Jan. 8, gives nearly a
full page illustration of orchids now in
bloom at the N. Y. Botanical Gardens.
Among these were Cattleya triauip,
Cypripedium insigne, dendrobium hetero-
carpum. Vanda Sanderiana, and Vanda
tricolor. The illustrations were excel-
lent.

According to a statement in the daily
press, the school children of the United
States were voting on Monday, Jan. 17,
for a national tree. If this voting ex-
tends throughout the whole country it
will be quite interesting to learn the
result.

Among the recent callers in the city
were S. S. Pennock. of the S. S. Pennock
Co., Philadelphia, Pa., and Prof. E. A.
White, Ithaca, N. Y.

Westchester County, N. Y.

The Market

Trade conditions are at about
normal after the holidays, but the pros-
pects for an early Spring rush of busi-
ness is bright at this time, owing to
the mild weather. The florists in gen-
eral throughout this country are very
optimistically inclined and- at this time
are even more so. Telegrah orders are
very good from all reports- All are satis-
fied with the past few weeks' business
and are ready to handle any orders re-
gardless of when and where they come
from.

Yonkers

Charles S. Smith, one of the best
known young florists of this city, was
stricken very ill Monday, Jan. 3, and
after a week in the hospital, passed
away. Mr. Smith was 21 years of age.
He was employed as store man by tiie
Hollywood Florist for the past sis years,
having worked his way up with that
concern. He saw service during the late
war, having been on board the U. S. S.
"Orizabo" for two and a half years, trans-
porting troops to France. He was also
a member of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. A full military funeral was con-
ducted by the post of which he was a
member. Mr. Smith resided with his
parents at 117 Convent place. A brother,
Thomas Smith, is also employed by the
same company. Of an amiable dispo-
sition, Charles had many friends and
will be generally missed" by ell with
whom he has associated.

The Market

Jan. IS. — The tone of the market
has not improved during the last week
and this morning, "worse to come" is
predicted. Eain, cold and raw winds have
predominated these last seven days. The
amount of stock brought into the market
is not large, but the city retailers fight
I shy of buying the least bit more than
I what they need from order to order.
■ If the out-of-town trade of the shipping
houses were the least bit less than what
it is, a mild glut would quickly result. As
a resut of perfunctory trading, the prices
in almost all lines have perceptibly
shrunk since a week ago. The general
opinion, that the market is only passing
through one of its periodical short de-
pressions, may be well founded ; still, this
let-up in trade may continue until the
public is satisfied that flowers have come
down in the retail stores. There is no
use denying the fact that the public is
on its ear. The average man or woman
cannot understand why flowers do stay
up in price while every other commodity
is on the downward path.

Roses, on the whole, are moving well ;
the supply is not over large. The qual-
ity is fine, but lengths over 21in. are
neglected. Medium lengths seU best ; also
all the short grades are cleaned up, be-
cause there is not much to be had in
this line. One cent and a little over,
per inch, is the ruling price for best
flowers. Light Pinks and Ophelias have
the best call; 'Whites are not much
wanted. It is very widely discussed that,
for several weeks back, the number of
funerals seems to be way below the
usual average. Whether this supposition
is substantiated, the writer is not pre-
pared to say.

Carnations have gradually come down
in price. The supply is becoming more
than sufficient, with the quality steadily
improving. Sales of the best ordinary
grades seldom reach 10c. now ; 8c. is
considered a good price this morning and.
if needed, 7c. is not refused. Poorer
flowers go at 6c. and even at 5c. Laddie
brings 12c., but not always.

Callas at S3 to S4 and White Lilies at
20c. to 2oc. sell oot from day to day.
White and Yellow Daisies are rather
scarce yet. So is Snapdragon and what
little of it is offered hangs back. Pai)er-
white Narcissus has dropped to 4c. and
oc. Golden Spurs are becoming more
plentiful ; they now bring 10c. flat.
Campernelles come in small lots and sell
for Sc.

Freesias are beginning to arrive more
freely and are still at 10c. and 12cl More
could probably be used. Calendulas have
lost favor somewhat lately. Some very
good stock of it is to be had at 4c. to 6c.
Mignonette is not wanted at all. Blue
Iris take well ; there are not many to
be seen as yet and the price is 57 per doz.
In some of the best stores Wliite Lilac
is to be noticed — cut flowers and in pots.

Acacia is still rather scarce ; it is
held at from $3 to §5 per bunch. Stevia

is hanging on well, bat slowly letting
up on the supply. Sweet Peas of ex-
cellent quality are offered in good sized
lots. The price has come down to l%c.
to 4c. ; the latter price is the very top.
Pansies are holding up to 3c. and 4c;
there is no oversupply. Violets are in
the dumps, bringing only Ic. to l^c
The supply is not large, but the demand
is also restricted.

Orchids and inside and hardy greens
have not changed from last week. In
pot plants there is still a moderate sup-
py of leftover stock from Christmas,
m'ostly Begonias, Cyclamens, Ajdisias
and Oranges. It is slowly being disposed
of, as the plant trade is keeping up pretty
well.
New^s Notes

A. F. Faulkner of New York, r^*-
resenting The American Florist, has
spent a week in Boston and vicinity in
the interest of his publication.

The New England Florist Supply Co.
on Devonshire st., is doing a considerable
business in their bnlb department which
they have opened a few months ago.
One of the company's specialties ^ is
Paper white Narcissus bulbs for florists
which are giving universal satisfaction.
In the line of florist supplies, wax
flowers and florist greens, the trade is
also keeping the firm hustling.

Forbes Bros, of Wobum, are send-
ing a steady supply of superfine Princess
of Wales Violets to the Exchange
Flower Market, where Moe Leibman is
handling the sales end. The brothers
have been running three houses since
last year and are well satisfied with
their venture. In fact, all the output
is contracted for in advance.

Sam Dawson of Burlington, Ohio, has
"blown" into town and is kept busy
booking orders for the "Will-O-Ware"
goods of his company. Mr. Dawson is
staying at the Hotel Bellevue.

For close on 20 years, the Thomas
F. Galvin Co.. Inc.. has received from
the "All Around Dickens Club of the
United States," the order for a memorial
wreath which the above club places on
the tomb in Westminster Abbey of
Charles Dickens every year on the oc-
casion of his birthday, Feb. 7. The
wreath, this year, wtII be of twigs, cones,
etc., of sturdy New England evergreens
and the scarlet-berried sprays of black
Alder. Touches of Engli^ Boxwood
sprays will also be used, giving the
combination a visible sigrn of the spiritual
bond which cements the lovers of the
immortal writer in both countries to-
gether. On a wide silk ribbon, belong-
ing to the wreath, will be painted the
words "All Around Dickens Club." The
wreath is to _ be entrusted to the care

This party, a prominent florist on Regent
St., London, -will exhibit the wreath for
a few days in his show window before

Anton Leuthy, the well known plant
grower of Roslindale, is off on a little
trip to New York State, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, where he has scores of
friends who will be glad to give him a
good time.

Frank H. Traendly of New Tork, and
Eugene Dailledouze of FlatbusTi, L. I.,
have been welcome visitors to Boston i
this week. In company with and under |
the guidance of Allan Peirce of Wal- i
tham, they have made a lengthy tour !
of inspection among the many florist j
and greenhouse establishments of Boston i
and vicinity. )

The annual meeting of the New Eng-
land Nurserymen's Association will take j
place at the American House, Boston, ;
on Jan. 25 and 26. '

New England expects to be well rep- {
resented at the meetings in Washington,
D. C„ Jan. 26 and 27, of the American
Carnation Society and the National
Flower Growers' Association. The fol-
lowing parties have expressed their in-
tention of going : Henry Penn, Major j
O'Keefe, Samuel J. Goddard, Wm. C. |
Stickel, W. D. Howard and Mrs. Howard,
Edward Winkler and Mrs. Winkler, John
Nelson and Mrs. Nelson, Wm. R. Nichol-
son of Pramingham. Thomas Roland, Al-
lan Peirce, W. Sim, Wallace R. Pierson
of Cromwell ; Mr. Saunders of Lewiston,
Me., and Charles S. Strout of Bidde-
ford, Me.

Outside the Hub City

Milford^ Mass.

Among the crack growers who
supply the Boston market with fine
Carnations, W. D. Howard stands in the
front row. There is little going on in
the Carnation world but what W. D.
gets wind of it and any new wrinkle that
turns up is sure to get a thorough try-
out on his place. Not that he does
everything himself exactly, for in his son,
Roy, he has an earnest and enthusiastic
helper and intelligent co-worker. So it is
not surprising that the place always
looks spic and span, and that the prod-
ucts of the greenhouses have an enviable
reputation and quite readily sell at a
premium, in the Boston and New York
markets.

With the exception of one crosshouse,
which is devoted to Godfrey Callas, the
whole place is given over to Carnations
grown on raised benches. Mr. Howard
is a great believer in soil sterilization
and he has practiced the application of
this process for a number of years. His
system of using the steam differs from
others, for while some introduce the
steam into the soil through pipes which
penetrate it, Mr. Howard lays perforated
pipes on the soil. In both systems, the
same galvanized iron pans are employed
to keep the steam confined to the space
which is being sterilized. Mr. Howard
does not claim that his method is more
perfect, but he figures that his style of
apparatus is more simple, and, as in the
raised benches, the soil is of less depth
than in solid beds, the steam will pene-
trate the soil sufficiently from above. Al-
though Mr. Howard has had splendid re-

sults in his method of planting in soil
that is carried over and sterilized year
after year, he has nevertheess renewed
the soil in all his houses this year. This
is not to be taken as a sign that he
has gone back on sterilization, for he has
not, but he wants to find out for cer-
tainty whether new soil, from time to
time, may not be of some advantage.
As he says; "The only way to find
out is to find out," and that's just what
he has in mind,

Mr. Howard has been invited to give
his observations on soil sterilization be-
fore the American Carnation Society at
the coming meeting in Washington. What
he will say, then, and the ensuing dis-
cussions should give valuable food for
thought to all greenhouse men, for if
sterilization gives relief in the case of
Carnations, it may naturally be presumed
that it will do the same for other crops
where bacteria, etc., in the Isoil are
dangerous. There is, for instance, the
root rot of Sweet Peas which is becoming
a very bad thing in Sweet Pea growing
and which is entirely a bacterial disease.
Lettuce and Cucumber crops are also
badly affected by bacteria that live in
the soil.

Mr. Howard grows all the best stan-
dard varieties of Carnations. To men-
tion that all the benches are in the
best possible condition is only telling the
truth ; they could not well be better.
Pink Delight, Ward, Matchless, Benora,
etc., are simply great. Maybe the care-
ful feeding under the direction of Mr.
Howard's son, Roy, who makes a special
study of this particular department in
which he is always carrying on careful
experiments, has something to do with
the condition of the plants. Belle Wash-
burn is well thought of ; it was a trifle
late in coming into bloom, but has cer-
tainly made up for it. Fourteen, and
over, buds and stubs can be figured on an
average per plant now, Jan. 3. One house
is' completely filled with Benora; they
are wonderful. Eureka is also much
liked; the flower is not of the largest
type, but the stem, color and freedom
of bloom recommend it. Cottage Maid
and Morning Glow are two other good
kinds. Bernice, Mr. Howard's own seed-
ling, is fulfilling all the hopes and pre-
dictions entertained at its introduction
and dissemination last year. Of course,
Laddie is present in all its glory.

The cut of flowers has been heavy
and steady since early Fall, and regu-
lar shipments go to New York several
times a week while the Boston market
is also continually supplied.

Framingham, Mass.

The old proverb, "Like father,
like son," is well exemplified in the
case of J. A. Nelson and his son, John,
of Framingham. Framingham Carnations
have, since the beginning of Carnation
culture around Boston, been a mainstay
of the Boston flower market. One of
the earliest growers was Nelson, sr„
who started years ago with nothing and
whose large place is a landmark in Car-
nationdom. Old Mr. Nelson, wise man
that he is, has for the last few years,
found out that the divine flower will
grow on his place just as well under
the care of his son, John, in whose
charge he has given the concern. So
the old gentleman hies himself to the
Sunny South when the New England
climate starts to get "rampunctious,"
and there he stays until the balmy winds
of Spring reach again the shores of Bos-
ton Bay. Not until then does Framing-
ham see him again. In the meantime,
John, the younger, keeps right on grow-
ing Carnations and, make no mistake,
he knows how, too, as anyone may find
out by a visit to his place.

There are four long houses planted
with all the leading varieties. Some
are planted in solid beds, others in raised
benches, but it would take a sharp eye
and a lot of imagination to see any dif-
ference ; they are all about as good as
one would want them to be. Beacon
and Laddie are exceptionally fine. The
houses are 600 ft. long and it is a sight
to behold the expanse of buds and flowers.
When you ask John : "What do you do
to get them that way?" he says in an
offhand way, "Oh nothing, they grow."
Ward, Benora and Matchless take up a
lot of space and also Morning Glow and
Howard's Bernice; both of these doing
fine. A large new propagating house is
almost filled with rooted and potted cut-
tings.

National Sweet Pea Society
(British)

The society's popular publication, "The
Sweet Pea Annual" for 1921, is to Band.
High cost of printing and paper have
compelled the committee to not only
reduce its pages somewhat, but it also
lacks the large array of illustrations and
the cloth binding so long a feature.
Despite these curtailments, this book of
some 70 pages contains several interest-
ing features.

The frontispiece shows the president
of the society for 1921, Leonard G. Sut-
ton,_ C. B. E., J. P. Other illustrations
depict the retiring chairman of commit-
tees, J. M. Bridgeford, the well known
manager of Watkins & Simpson, whole-
sale seedsmen, the new chairman, Ohas.
H. Curtis, secretary of the British
Florists' Association, several vases of
Sweet Peas and the new challenge cup
donated by the great London newspaper,
Tlie Daily Mail. Perhaps the most in-
teresting picture is that of a bride and
her seven bridesmaids, all carrying
boquets of Sweet Peas as made up by
the Duluth Floral Co., Duluth, Minn.

The literary matter embraces "Some
Reminiscences," by Chas. H. Curtis, and
Sweet Peas for exhibition and garden by
Thos. Stevenson, two men who have been
intimately connected with the Sweet Pea
world for the past 20 years or more.

Notes from New Zealand and Manitoba,
the report of the Floral Committee, and
a detailed audit of the 1920 exhibition
are other subjects of interest.

Heating a Greenhouse

Kindly inform me how many li^^in.
pipes it would take to heat a house 55 to
60 deg. at zero weather with steam. This
house is 100ft. long, 25ft. wide, 13%ft.
high, 5ft. at the eaves. Four feet of the
sides wUl be glass and 1ft. of cement.
Both sides will be glazed, also both ends.

Would it be practical to come into the
house at one end with a large pipe direct
from the boiler and then run two 2in.
pipes from the feed pipe down to the
other end of the house to the coils of
1% pipes? What size pipe could be
used for a return to the boiler, or would
it be better to run one large feed pipe

down the length of the house direct to
the coils?— F. T. B., Mass.

— The house you describe, I figure, has
equivalent to about 4250 square feet of
exposed glass surface.

To heat this house with steam coils
to a temperature of from 55 to 60 deg.,
when the mercury outside is at zero, I
would use two 2in. overhead steam mains,
and twelve lines of l%in. returns. If
the end of the greenhouse nearest to
the boiler is not more than about 26 or
30ft. from same, I would carry a Sin.
steam main from boiler to gable end of
greenhouse and there connect it to the
two 2in. overhead steam main. The 2in.
mains should grade down from boiler, so
that the steam and condensation will
flow in the same direction, and air vents
should be placed at the ends of the over-
head mains.

Air vents must also be placed at the
lowest end of each of the coils, and both
steam and return ends of coils valved ;
a 2in. return from coils to boiler will
be large enough. The lowest ends of
return coils should be at least 2ft. above
the water line of the steam boiler, or
more if possible. J. N. MoAbthub.

The Market

The market remains tight, with a
light supply, and prices remain firm.
Roses and Carnations have advanced a
point or two over last week's report.
The supply of Roses is still short of
requirements as applied to the short and
medium grades ; most of the present sup-
ply is confined to the longer grades.
Carnations have advanced with a more
pressing demand at 8c. and lOc. fancy
at 12c. Cattleyas are in moderate sup-
ply and demand. Sweet Peas are in
heavier receipts and there is a quick ab-
sorbing demand at from 2c. to 4c. Easter
lilies are in free supply and going as
freely, but the same cannot be said of
Oallas. To get the CaUa — that_ is the
question. There are more Freesias and
Daffodils than a week ago. The situa-
tion on Paperwhites remains unchanged.
Mignonette and Snapdragon are to be
had on call. This week is opening up
with a markedly increased demand.

Notes

Henry F. Michell was threatened
by blackmail recently and turned the
letter, demanding $300, over to the police.
As advised, Mr. Michell followed the in-
structions in the letter by placing the
money in a package tied with red tape
and leaving it in the care of a cashier
of a restaurant. Detectives lay in wait-
ing for the caller of the package and fol-
lowed him to where he was joined by a
confederate, and then arrested the pair.

In speaking of Roses of recent intro-
duction, Clarence U. Liggit states that
fully 76 per cent of the present demand
for young stock is for Mme. Butterfly.

A recent caller on the trade was Earl
Mann of Richmond, Ind.

J. Otto Thilow and George A. Stroh-
lein sailed for Porto Rico on the 22nd
of this month, to be gone for 16 days.
Mr. Thilow has a lecture in Boston the
day following his return.

To what extent the Baker fern is used
may be gleaned from the fact that one
grower has shipped to William J. Baker
over 40,000 sprays in the last four
months.

Adams, Mass. — On Jan. 1, A. J. Booth-
man, owner of the Boothman greenhouses
at the corner of North Summer and
Wadron sts., turned over the greenhouses
to his sons, Harold and Thomas Booth-
man. Ten greenhouses with a total of
25,000ft. of glass, together with their
contents, were involved in the deal.

The business was started 25 years ago,
when Mr. Boothman began with two small
hotbeds, which he used for the raising
of Lettuce and Tomato plants. He
found that under present circumstances
he could not devote the time necessary to
the business and decided to turn it over
to younger hands and minds. The green-
houses will still be run in conjunction
with the Flower Shop in this city, Mr.
Boothman buying his flowers and plants
directly from the greenhouses, as needed.

The Market

Jan. 18. — Stock of all kinds was
extremely scarce the past week, every
item cleaning up daily. There was not
much improvement in the supply at the
opening of the market for the present
week ; it looks as if scarcity of stock
will continue another week or jmofe.
While the demand is not heavy, the
wholesalers are at their wits' end in mak-
ing an equitable distribution daily of
such stock as comes their way. Prices
are high, well up to the mark of Christ-
mas week and will continue so until the
growers are able to supply the trade
with vastly more stock than they are
doing at present. The scarcity is more
apparent in Roses than any other stock.
Short stems, so much in demand, are
only to be had in very small quantities ;
this forces purchasers to buy the better
grades at prices not compatible with the
purposes for which they are to be used,
causing an unsatisfactory market all
around. The very poorest stock is bring-
ing $10 per 100 and then up to $50 for
first class or fancy stock.

Carnations are increasing in supply,
but not to the extent to meet the de-
mand there is for them from buyers who
prefer Koses if they could get them at
less prices than now offered. Split Car-
nations have been sold the past week as
high as §6 per 100, with select and fancy
from $8 to $10 and $12 per 100.

It is to the growers of bulbous stock
the market is looking for relief ; this
is increasing in supply daily and, with
more of it, conditions will be much easier.
There is more Paperwhite Narcissus than
any other item of stock on the market,
all of which is moving well, purchasers
in need of stock having no other choice
when requiring a considerable quantity
of funeral or other flowers. Tulips are
so far short of stem and sparse in foliage ;
most of them are lifted from the flats,
bulbs intact, and marketed in that way.
For basket filling this is an advantage,
but for other work, there is no advantage
more than that their blooms will last
longer than when cut in the ordinary
manner.

Sweet Peas are improving in quality
and are in larger supply- There is more
Valley and orchids than there has been
in some time, but this supply doesn't help
muchto relieve the prevailing stringency.
Freesias are coming in well, which are said
to be the foreruimers of heavy crops to
follow.

There never was such a scarcity of stock
in January as at this writing, nor did it
ever sell at such high prices. It is likely

the shortage will continue for some time;
there are those that do not look for a
lieavy supply until early in February, al-
though every week may bring some slight
.iiiprovement with suitable weather con-
ditions.

Wews Notes

Allie Zech of Zech & Mann will go
to Toledo, 0., next weei: for a few days
where he will bowl in the tournament with
the team representing the local lodge, B.
P. O. B. from Toledo ; he will in all prob-
ability, go to Washington, D. C, to the
Carnation meeting and exhibition.

Ernest Kober, who is at present in Wil-
mett, rejDorts much improvement in the
liealth of his family which, some time
ago, moved to California for better cli-
matic conditions.

The death of Mrs. Cyrus H. McCormick
of Lake Forest, 111., is generally regretted
in trade circles. She was one of Chi-
cago's notable women, a lover of birds,
trees and flowers, and one of the founders
of the Garden Club of Illinois. A rare
patron of horticulture in all its phases,
having surrounded herself with a wonder-
ful collection of everything there was in
new and rare plants in her grounds and
conservatories at her home in Lake For-
est. Her familiarity with plants and
plant names was equal to that of an ex-
pert plantsman or professional gardener.

John A. Schmidt, florist, 2408 Went-
worth ave.j accidentally hanged himself
at his place of business Saturday, Jan.
15. He was going down to his basement
when it is presumed he slipped and uis
ueck became entangled in the clothes
lines in the cellar where he was found
some time afterward by his wife. The
funeral was held Monday with Interment
at Oakwood Cemetery.

N. J. Wietor of Wietor Bros, left a
week ago Monday night in company with
Peter Reinberg and wife for a well
earned vacation in Florida. They will
make their headquarters at the Tampa
Bay Hotel and will not be back in Chi-
cago before Feb. 1.

We have in Chicago the Gold Coast
florists and numerous other leading
tradesmen that spend much weekly in
local advertising ; but when Andy Giimp,
the^ felicitous character in the Chicago
Daily Tribune wants to get a corsage for
"Minn," he goes to — Winterson's!

Dealers are giving their attention to
Valentine's Day stock and figuring on
Carnations and dye for St. Patrick's Day,
both of which occasions, it is believed,
will surpass those of former seasons.
Price lists are being mailed of the ac-
cessories for these occasions and optimism
is the business slogan for 1921.

The American Greenhouse Mfg. Co. re-
ports more demand for greenhouse con-
struction since the first of the year than
ever before. Every mail brings inquiries

The Henry Wittbold Co. has opened a

the second floor of the Atlas Block in
which there are already located over
twenty wholesalers. There is an old say-
ing, "The more the merrier," and the
newcomers evidently fear no competition
from their newly made neighbors. Whole-
salers in this block have been notified of
an increase in rent amounting to nearly
100 per cent starting May 1, with aU
whose leases expire at that time. There
is a question now in the minds of the
wholesalers as to whether the present lo-
cation is not becoming too expensive.

Tarrytown Horticultural Society^
Annual Dinner

Tarrytown, N". Y., is a great horticul-
tural center. It is the home of F. R.
Pierson, which counts for a great deal, and
it is also the sphere of operations of a
most active horticultural society. That
the latter is influenced by the former
goes without saying; indeed, there are few
activities connected with the betterment
of Tarrytown that F. K. Pierson is not
intimately bound up in. Tarrytown is at-
tractive; even when the temperature is
around the zero mark it has its appeal.
How it came by its name I know not;
some one no doubt tarried when climbing
the hill now called Main st. and con-
sidered it good, and others in due course
followed his example. However, this is
not meant to be a eulogy of Tarrytown
on the Hudson; my visit there was to par-
take of the hospitality tendered me by
the Tarrytown Horticultural Society, of
which Ed. W. Neubrand is the secre-
tary. The members were celebrating the
20th year of the society's existence by
holding a dinner at the Florence Inn on
Broadway and thither I made my way

without tarrying on ttie evening of the
ISth.

Wm. Scott, a notable character and a
horticulturist to boot, of the district was
in the chair, and the amiable bearded
giant filled the office of toastmaster to
perfection.

Mine Host Parke had prepared a din-
ner with infinite care, and all did justice
to it. The lack of the time honored wine
caused no despondency; everyone was in a
cheery mood. The Rev. W. W. Reid, one
of the speakers, was truly what a
preacher of the Gospel should be. Both
light hearted and serioiis, his humorous
stories and sincere touches drew abund-
ance of laughter and applause. We do
not recall a more enjoyable half hour tnan
while listening to his delightful stories,
linked up as they were from time to time,
with references to horticultur. The Rev.
G. M. Whitemore, late of the U. S. Navy,
was another delightful speaker; not so hu-
morous, yet not dry nor tedious. His in-
terest in gardening was made e\-ident, and
he, like his brother of the cloth, re-
peatedly referred to the influence of Brit-
ish gardens and British gardeners upon
horticulture in this coimtry. He showed
the connection between religion and gar-
dening and pointed out that the two
were most intimately bound up, one with
the other. F. R. Pierson, as becomes a
horticultural man, talked of flowers and
gardeners. He declared that in all his
business connections he had never come
across a crowd more to be respected than
those engaged in gardening. He touched
upon the trials and tribulations of the
recent past, and, he considered that owing
to the F. H. B. ruling, there was a great
opening for the private gardener to de-
velope new plants suited to the condi-
tions of the country. In his whimsical way
he accused the weather man of always
turning loose a special brand of uncom-
fortable weather when the TarrytoiN-n so-
ciety held its dinner.

T. A. Weston, representing The Flo-
rist's Exchange, called upon to speak,
dryly accused Toastmaster Scott of trying
to spoil the enjoyment of the evening. He
touched upon several points and made it
clear that gardening, not speaking, was
more in his line, thus bearing out the ac-
cusation of Rev. Whitmore who had de-

clared that gardeners, as a rule, shut up
like a clam when a minister is around,
ilr. Weston ended his remarks by reciting
a few stanzas regarding the trials of the
under-gardener, which caused many a smile
from the old timers.

Interspersed with the speeches was mu-
sic provided by E. E. Carman and Albert
Seitz, while Charles A. Lineback entranced
the 60 members and guests with Ms hu-
morous stories and wonderful impersona-
tions of Dickens' and other characters.

All in all, it was a most delightful
evening. Several notable friends sent let-
ters of regret at their inability to be
present; that of Dan C. Nolan, who was
laid up with a severe attack of grip, prov-
ing an entertainment in itself.

price per package, 50c. Catalogue will be sent

Mr. W. L. Ferguson, Smiths Falls, Ontario, un-
der date of Dec. 2d, 1919, writes us the following
in regard to our Petunias;

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you.
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about 8 per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quality each year."

Mr. Rudolf Nagel, Lancaster, Pa., under date
of Dec. 14, 1919, writes us:

"I had last year just a few of your Petunias,
but I am sure I could have sold thousands of them.
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of my expectation."

"They All Sound Good When
They're Far Away"

The New York San prints a note
from Alberta, Canada, referring to the
achievement of one W. H. Snelson, who,
having raised 58 bushels of Peas per
acre, is said to have set a record for
yields of that crop. Just what this means
we don't know. Of garden Peas in the
pod, Bailey's Oarden and Farm Rule
Book, gives the average yield as 100 to
150 bushels; of field Peas, the average
yield for Manitoba is 45 bushels per
acre, and the "best yield," 65 bushels;
while the range of production for BritiBh |
Columbia is from 26 to 106 bushea,')
The question is, therefore, what records I
has Mr. Snelson broken?

This Talk Is To Grow^ers Who
Are Starting To Grow

HERE'S a man by the name of Newsome, who had a few acres that were
yielding a goodly living.

But a goodly living was not good enough for him. He wanted some-
thing besides a living. He woke up to the fact that you can never stand still.
You grow or you go — backward.

So, knowing about oustide growing, he determined to tackle a greenhouse
and do some growing on the inside.

He chose his location for the house, and then ordered his materials. He
had not gone into the proposition far enough to know that what applied to his
outside endeavor also did with the inside. He must grow or go.

So we planned years ahead for him. Planned just as if he was going to
have a range covering five acres. He thought we were rather big in our ideas
and a bit high in our ideals. However, he consented.

The next year the addition we hinted at, followed. We doubled the size of

his inside garden. He is the kind of a man who will keep on doubling.

Take The Stuppy Floral Company of St Joseph, Missouri, as an example
of looking ahead enough to plan ahead.

Look at the range below and see how compact and evenly balanced it is.

Mr. Stuppy, having his ear ever to the ground for better things, when he
last built, put up an iron frame house that covered more than twice the width
and length of any one of his other houses.

Figures pointed to its greater economy. Crop results, labor and heating
costs have more than proved his ideas to be right.

Newsome in his small way and Stuppy in a large, are pretty good sort of men
to follow when you want to plan ahead for the houses you are going to eventu-
ally build- But let's talk it over.

You say where and we'll be there.

L. A. Noe Remodels

The Heating On

His Rose Range

L. A. No=, himself, who is ably asgislsd in his
work, by his foreman. Allen Doty

THE name of Noe is synonymously identified with the
growing of Roses in the State of New Jersey. Mr. L. M.
Noe was one of the pioneer growers and practically
introduced the growing of American Beauties, and for many
years was noted for the exceedingly fine quality of the
flowers produced.

Mr. Noe started the business some 45 years ago, coni-
mencing with one house 20 ft. wide x zoo ft. long. As the busi-
ness increased, other houses were added, each house being
heated from a separate boiler. In the course of time, 34
houses were built, each heated as a separate unit.

You can imagine the problem which Mr. L. A. Noe (known
to his friends as Lou) had to face in obtaining anthracite
fuel of a size which he could burn in his small boilers, but
Lou Noe is a worthy son of his father, and took hold of
the problem in a big way. He saw the proper thing to do
was to put in a central heating plant, and heat all of his
36 houses from one central station.

On request of Mr. Noe, we furnished him with a proposal,
which on figuring the cost we were almost afraid to present,
as at this time, the cost seemed so much out of proportion
to pre-war days, that it seemed almost foolish to ask anyone
to see the reason for it. This matter, however, did not phase
L. A. Noe, as he saw it was the logical thing to do, and when
a wise business man decides what is logical, he goes ahead
and does it, irrespective of any and every obstacle.

When you consider that the former 34 boilers are now re-
placed by only 3, the numerous boiler cellars and chimneys
now replaced by one, and above all. that the cheapest grade
of fuel which is on the market can be burned under the new
boilers, it can readily be seen that Mr. Noe made no mistake.

Everyone knows the price and difficulty in obtaining anthra-
cite fuel from pea size to furnace. Mr. Noe has now no use for
fuel of this grade, as he is equipped to use No. i or No. 2
buckwheat, or soft coal, whichever is obtainable.

Now a word as to rebuilding.

As many of Mr. Noe's houses have been in use for over
20 years, it naturally follows that some of them have to be
rebuilt. He has, for some time, been laying his plans for
solving this problem. .As a start, where there were three 20
ft. houses, there is noiv one wide house.

The sensible and far-seeing business man would say that
this policy is the only practical policy to follow, if the name
of Noe is to remain as a leader in the production of Roses.

Right now, when the difficulty of obtaining fuel and the
scarcity of labor is so fresh in your minds, is the time for all
those in similar position to give consideration to these facts.

We are in a position to make surveys and submit plans at
any time requested. We go anywhere for business or to talk
business.

Five hundred thousand this year and half of them
sold! The old, worn-out section won't do for the days
that are to come — days when production will tell
the story of profit or loss. Labor is plenty. Dig in
and replant. We can still supply the best that can
be produced, before-the-war quality, better shipping
conditions, better deliveries than we have had in
the past few years. Get good soil under and good
oofs over our grafted Roses and watch things grow'

The Florists' Exchange

Burpee's

THERE is alwaj-s a ready demand for good Sweet Peas. Well grown flowers
realize most remunerative prices, and it is doubtful if any other crop will
bring the florist greater profits, considering the outlay for stock and the
ease with which the crop is handled.

To ensure flowers of highest quality and at a time before the market is
glutted with ordinary' stock, the seed should be sown during January or February
m pots. Start them in a cool house or even a coldframe, and so have first-class
sturdy plants for setting out in the open field early in April. This method will
give you flowers in late May, and much superior to those sown directly in the open.

Wien ordering ask for our leaflet on Sweet Pea culture.

The House of Burpee is recognized the world over as American headquarters
for Sweet Peas. Burpee's Sweet Peas are grown and developed on Floradale
Farms, our California seed ranch, and our strains are unsurpassed for high-class
quaUty and "trueness" to type and color.

Good Sweet Pea seed is scarce this season, due to short crops, and as our
stocks of some varieties are limited, we suggest early ordering.

The following list includes only such varieties as we know to be of value
for market work. For fuller descriptions and classified list of all varieties, in-
cluding many novelties now offered for the first time, write for Burpee's Annual,
which is sent free on appUcation.

CUTTING DOWN THE COST OF FUEL

More Light on the Fuel Saving Question

THK FLUKlS'l'S' KXCHANUli, as its readers must
have observed, is keenly and sincerely interested in
the problem ol" fuel saving, inasmuih as this con-
stitutes one of the main factors in the larger problems
of economically and clliciently heating and managing
greenliouses. It is, therefore, ready to print and de-
sirous of printing all possible contributions on the sub-
ject in which the results of first-hand experience or ob-
servation, and of sincere, broad-minded thought or
study, are set forth. Needless to say, we are neither
concerned with nor interested in the success of any par-
ticular method or apparatus for the saving of fuel, save
as it may prove a boon to florists and growers. Prob-
ably there are various devices offering various advan-
tages, each of special proven value in certain cases and
under certain conditions. The more clearly the relation-
ship of such devices to specific circumstances can be
brought out, the greater the assistance given to the
individual greenhouse man in finding his "best way out."

The following letter, from one of The Exchange's
oldest subscribers, though critical of testimony pre-
viously given, is simply a sincere expression of belief,
a summary of actual experiences, offered, in line with
our aims, to help others to learn the truth and the pos-
sibilities as they touch them. As such we welcome it
and hope that it will stimulate further discussion of
this important and always timely subject.
Editor The Florists' Exchange :

I have just read the article on a "Fuel Saver" in last
week's issue, and also re-read the other article by J. M.
Collins in the February 1920 issue. As an average
reader I found both lacking certain details, to secure
which I have made three trips to his establishment
where I inspected the patented apparatus about which
he writes.

For ray part, and on the basis of my own experience,
I consider the price pretty high and I think this would
be the case with the average small florist who has more
need of a blower than has the larger grower and who is
therefore likelj' to \>& already supplied with one.

I found that two firms in my own town were burning
coal dust and getting good results by using a blower
and a grate a little smaller than usual. This is the com-
bination that I, too. have been using successfully for
sometime except that I have not even changed my grate.

I use the same grate that came with my boiler for
burning egg coal, and experience no trouble with the
dust falling through. In the three months that I have
run a dust fire, there has always been body enough to
the fire to hold the fine fuel up. We burn the dust just
as it comes from the dealer, but we ordinarily start the
fire every day with about one bushel of stove coal. If
the temperature outside is falling at this time we use
two bushels of the stove coal. When the temperature
went below zero we used four or five bushels, then
toward evening put on the dust and at eleven o'clock
filled it up for the night. 'At three o'clock a.m. we shook
the fire down and put on more dust but, for that mat-
ter, Mr. Collins told me that he had to do the same when
the weather goes below zero.

Our boiler uses about 50 tons of coal dust We have
put in 51 tons and think it will carry us through, to-

A^ Horticultural Survey [

gether with about 10 tons of stove coal, which we keep
in a separate bin and use at the rate of about two tons
a month.

The expense of our equipment, as near as wc can fig-
ure, is as follows :

1 H.P. electric motor $109.00

1 No. I! Buffalo Blower 64.00

5 ft. of Tin. pipe with damper 5.50

Total $178.50

As against this the cost of the "fuel saver," according
to the manufacturer's quotations, would be more than
$500 for one boiler, and I have three. Financially, the
results of my system, as compared with my former
practice, work out about as follows :

Formerly, 50 tons of stove coal at $14.25 $71.2.30

No. 51 tons coal dust at $4.50 $229.50

Now, 10 tons stove coal at $14.25.. 142.50
Now, cost of electric power for

blower 100.00

472.00

Making a saving on coal of $240.50

The above figures are based on the kind of Winter
we have had thus far.

We have not installed a thermostat as we were a
month trying to buy one and, having gotten along thus
far without it, we decided that it was not necessary.
One of us is on hand all day and at night we regulate
the temperature by means of the slide damper in the
blower pipe. For fear that the electric power might
be shut off at night unbeknownst to us we bought a
temperature control thermometer that rings a bell in the
house if the mercury runs down too low. However this
has not rung as yet so you can see that under ordinary
conditions the temperature does not change any more
than it would if we were burning large coal.

We will be compelled to build a higher chimney as
we find that the gas from the dust will escape unless
we give the fire a straight draft. This is notwithstand-
ing the general statement that "if you use a blower the
height of your chimney does not matter." Ours is 36ft.
high and yet it is not high enough.

One other thing that we do not like about the patent
grate is that the ashes have to be taken out through the
feed door, when they fly all over the room and are
likely to find their way into the adjoining house through
cracks in the wall, etc., making the plants and every-
thing look dusty.

Glens Falls, N. Y. A. J. Binlev.

Further communications on Heating and Fuel Saving,
especially when accompanied by the actual figures, as
has been done by Mr. Binley will, we doubt not, be
read with the greatest of interest. At this time of the
year there is no factor of expense receiving more con-
sideration than the "dwindling coal pile."

In our report of the annual meeting of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society, held at Boston, Jan. 8, ref-
erence was made to the impressive inaugural address by
President Albert C. Burrage who, as our readers are
well aware, possesses one of the finest collections of
orchids in this country, and who achieved a remarkable
accomplishment last year by exhibiting a large number
of plants at each of the twelve monthly exhibitions of
the society.

Mr. Burrage is a true altruist ; not a flower from his
vast collection is ever sold. The blooms are regularly
cut and sent to the sick and to the hospitals. At times,
orchid flowers such as would have realized a thousand
dollars or more in the market, have been cut and dis-
tributed gratuitously in one day.

It gives us much pleasure to publish herewith the
major portion of President Burrage's address :

Tlie art of horticulture is so interlaced with science that it
would avail nothing for me to try to talk here in a learned way.
Neither could I adequately cover its romanric phases, about
which 80 much has been written since man first began, centu-
ries ago, to transcribe his thoughts upon parchment. But
your by-laws, very properly, require your president, upon
taking office, to deliver a formal address, and it is fitting that
anyone so honored,, whether scientist or layman, should call
attention to those phases of the society's work which partic-
ularly appeal to him. • 4 H

The "Burning Question" Now Paramount J

Ediliir 'i'hc Florists' Exchan<je :

The "Burning Question" for the florist at this, as at
all times, is the "Fuel" question. Thanks to the weather
man, this Winter has been in favor of the consumer —
nevertheless it is paramount and perpetual.

1 have noted J. M. Collins's letter in The Florists'
Exchange, issue of Jan. 22, and I have seen this blower
and patent grate in operation, burning the meanest kind
of soft coal (slack) and it seems to be a success — but
the Winter we have gone through so far is not the
average Winter the florist has to contend with. Other
florists are trying out this system of blowers and patent
grates with automatic and thermostatic attachments. To
my knowledge they are as follows : Julius Roehrs,
Rutherford, N. J.; F. A. Danker, Albany, N. Y. ; Jos.
Traudt, Canajoharie, N. Y.— and there are others. It
would be interesting to learn at the end of the firing
season what have been the results.

The claims are made that 50 per cent more coal is
used [presumably greater weight at less cost per ton? —
Ed.) the firemen (day and night), who used to do a few
chores between times, must now keep close watch on
their furnaces.

The coal being used is hard and soft slack, rice and
barley. Of course the price enters very largely into the
situation. Last Summer, soft coal was bringing in New
England, $17.50 per ton at the freight station. I know
recently that soft coal has been offered in five car lots
at $3.25 at the mine. This is getting back to normal.

Budlong's at Providence, R. I., and Timothy O'Con-
ner. Providence, R. I., are burning oil. The Mexican
Oil Co. has a fuel oil— which is more like an asphalt
and only "runs" at a temperature of 85 deg. F.— and
requires special installation. I understand the Mexican
people will meet the price of coal with their oil. One .
of their distributing points is at Providence, R. I., so
that delivery is at a minimum.

Many florists seem to overlook the importance of the
boiler room. It is here where your success starts — no
matter what kind or how poor or good your coal is, the
way the firing is done is the most important part. How ;
many florists know how to fire or have firemen that
know how to fire? Usually he is the poorest paid rnan :
on the place. Throwing coal in the furnace is not firing, j
.An ex-locomotive engineer is the best fireman you can
have, if you can get one.

Concentrate your heating. Keep your boiler room
clean. Keep your tubes (if you have tubular boilers)
clean and your grates clean, and keep a clean fire, and
you will find that you are saving coal. Your furnace :
should give steady, not intermittent heat.

A hard coal fire should not be more than 4in. thick; ,
a soft coal fire 6in. to Sin. Keep the fire alive and red
and then you are getting the best out of your coal ; the
.smoke won't "go up the chimney just the same." Don't
throw on a big lot of coal and just leave it to burn.
If you do you are burning money. Every florist has
his own special problem with his furnaces, because^ so
many have different systems and boilers for heating.
Think it out now and make your changes in the Sum-
mer— when the Fall comes, start right.

cessor, the Horticultural Society of London, has a record and
reputation excelled only by the Royal Society. During the
ninety years of its existence it has had many able technical
lectures and addresses by scientists and by others skilled in
horticulture. Those addresses have been of great service to
this community, and it were better for you that someone else
were speaking here now who could add one more to this his-
toric Hst. ...

In view of the appreciation which has been shown for my
special work it is not hkely that anyone will take exception to
my pointing out here the motive which has been behind this
work and the aims sought; and this, therefore, is the subject
of my appeal. „ . ,. , . > »

Years ago, on my first visit to Europe after a boyhood spent
among the wonderful wild flowers of CaUfornia, I first learned
to know orchids — exotic orchids — and to love them with an
admiration which has never lessened. Twenty years ago when
I first began to have them in a conservatory, they fascinated
me still more, and when, a few years later, I was fortunate
enough to be able to secure them in quantity and variety and
to give them the greenhouse care they deserved, they responded
nobly and gave me back a rich reward. Still I was not satis-
fied, because my jov was too much hke that of the miser over
his gold, and I resolved that others should sometime have a
chance to see them as I saw them and to know and appreciate
these most beautiful of the products of the vegetable kingdom.
But my real motive was that the people of this commumty
should get a clearer reahzation that this country does not and
cannot produce, except under glass, any of these wonderful
flowering plants so rich in form and color and in romance.

So, during the past year you have had, throughout the year,
as promised at the beginning, monthly exhibits of orchid plants
as they came into flower throughout the different seasons.
And nearly fifty thousand individuals have seen, studied and
enjoyed them. Slowly, unconsciously, but with ever increas-
ing force, a new Ufe has come into the attendance at our hall — •
a renaissance of the spirit of our forefathers who, in their love

Disposition of the S. A. F. Permanent Fund

Prominent Members of the Trade Express Their Thoughts. The Question is
Now Open for Discussion. Wide Divergence of Opinion Shown.

"The Best Florists Today Are, and Ever Will

Be, the Ones Who Have a General

Knowledge of All Branches of

Gardening"

Your letter received, also the issue of Dec. 11, 1920,
containing "A Plan for the Future of the Permanent
Fund of the S. A. F. and O. H." Our Permanent Fund
is a fraction over $49,000 and I consider it not any too
much on account of the immensity of the organization
today and the different problems facing us. The various
departments or links of the S. A. F., such as the Pub-
licity Campaign and the National Flower Shows are
all big undertakings, and the S. A. F. and O. H. is
responsible for both in case of a deficit. The income of
the S. A. F. and O. H. in dues and fees has increased
about 3i per cent and the expenses increased about 100
per cent since 1916, so you can see that we need a good
Permanent Fund to help defray the general expenses.

We could not exist without the nrofits derived from our
conventions and I am glad to say that in the last two
years we made enough to break even. Detroit and Cleve-
land are immense industrial centers, but just let us strike
some convention city where we do not make any money
such as we made in 1916, '17 and '18. Of course, we are
bound to meet some such cities. As you know the
S. A. F. and O. H. stands for afiiliation. and to keep up
that reputation we must meet in every corner of the
country. Indeed, I believe that meeting in every part
of the United States will do n-ore for the florists at large
than anything else.

The S. A. F. and 0. H. is not out to make money but we
must make our expenses.

In regard to using our Permanent Fund for educational
purpose I will say that I like your spirit in that respect,
but we cannot do it at present ; we might be able o in the
future. We need a school garden for the teaching of
growing marketable plants and cut flowers so our young
men and even our young women can acquire a one or two
years' training with no compensation except their board
and lodging. Such a place must be large enough to be
able to almost support itself. I have often thought about
this matter especially in connection with the betterment
of our noble profession. There is no nicer profession in
God's great world than ours, but it has a great many
shortcomings which must first be remedied; we must
bring our profession up to the standard of other busi-
nesses; we must have shorter hours, closed Sundays and
standard wages; and as soon as we bring it up to that
point, our sons, daughters and employees will like the
business and our sons especially will stay with us.

The best florists today are and ever will be the ones
who have a general knowledge of all branches of gar-
dening. Each young man after getting good schooling
should work in a greenhouse for two years, in a nur-
sery for one Summer or season, and at landscape gar-

dening for another season, and then go back to his
grcLMihousi' work. Of such type arc the successful busi-
ness men in our profession.

To obtain these results we could exchange our sons.
For instance, I could send my son t Wally Pierson and
Wally Pierson could send his son to me for one year
or more, and the same in the nursery and landscape lines.
It is a fact that it is almost necessary for any florist do-
ing a general business to know both the nursery trade and
landscape gardening.

Americans spend today 100 times as much for beauti-
fying their homes as they did 25 years ago. I can tell
as soon as I arrive at a city whether or not a landscape
gardener beautifies the homes. Just take a stroll through
Portland, Ore., or Seattle, Wash., and you can see that
the landscape gardener is on the job. Our good people
are waiting and willing to employ such men, regardless of
expense, to beautify their homes.

I am glad to say that business has been excellent this
past year and 1921 starts out fully as good as 1920 did.

"Permanent Fund Should be Thoroughly
Safeguarded and Invested, and the
Interest Used for Some Educa-
tional Purpose"

I have gone over conditions carefully and just at pres-
ent I have been very busy and would not be able to
give the proper thoughtfulness to the information you
desire.

This is a very broad question and I feel that the Per-
manent Fund of the Society of American Florists should
be thoroughly safeguarded and invested, and the interest
used for some educational purpose upon which, at pres-
ent, I would not like to commit myself. However, I will
try to go into this a little more seriously and will give
you more of my personal views later on.

A. L. Miller, Jamaica, N. Y.

"There are Few Openings in Our Business

Paying a Proper Remuneration at the

Start for Young Men with a

College Education"

Replying to your letter, I wish to say that your sug-
gestion in regard to the disposition of the Permanent
Fund of the S. A. F. will no doubt create considerable
discussion. My opinion is that, to use your own words,
"Once the cash is tapped, be the spigot ever so small,
the contents will gradually be drawn off and lost for-
ever."

From my observation I find that anything acquired
without any effort is very rarely appreciated. Besides,
there are few openings in our business paying a proper
remuneration at the start for young men with a college
education. I may be behind the times, but I prefer to

have young men who have worked up from the bottom and
received a good practical experience in a commercial
place where things are done with the object of paying a
profit. I believe that the majority of the members will
say with the young lady on the page devoted to this
subject, "Don't You Dare." Yours truly,

W. J. Keimel, Elmhurst, 111.

"Make the Fund $100,000 Before it is
Touched"

Replying to your request for my views on the question
of the Society of American Florists offering the whole
or part of its reserve fund to provide a scholarship in any
horticultural college in the United States for the mem-
bers of the society or their sons, I would say:

In the first place, our Permanent Fund is not sufficiently
large at present for the Society to make any disposition
of the whole or any part of it.

Before we take up the question of what use should be
made of the surplus, we ought to make every effort to
accumulate at least $100,000. When we reach that sum
it will then be in order to apply part of it for certain
useful purposes pertaining to the future welfare of hor-
ticulture in America.

In the meantime, while we are engaged in making
the $100,000, let us see to it that the proper protection be
given to the fund already existing. We should amend
the constitution of the Society so that no part of the
reserve fund can be withdrawn from the treasury for
any purpose, except by a two-thirds vote of the mem-
bers present at the annual convention.

Patrick Welch, Boston, Mass.

"It is as]Important to Educate Those Already

in^the Business as to Educate the

Coming Generation"

I have given the article on the Permanent Fund care-
ful consideration, and while it is an evident fact that
the trade at the present time is in grave need of new
blood, and while the idea that you have advanced re-
garding the employment fund of the S. A. F. is rather
a good one, still, there are so many sides to this ques-
tion that I doubt very much if I am qualified to ven-
ture an opinion as to whether it would be the best in-
\estraent for this fund.

It appears to me that it would be better to employ
competent practical men to go about through the coun-
try to the various floricultural districts and instruct
those who are already engaged in the business and to
disseminate this knowledge broadcast over the country.
In my opinion, it is of as vital importance to educate
those already engaged in the business as it is to attempt
to educate the coming generation.

The idea of the Permanent Fund of the S. A. F. be-
ing used for the advancement of the interests of the
business is a very good one, but any practical method
by which this work could be accomplished, involves so
man3' phases of work, that, to my mind, it would be a
wise move to lay this matter before the board of direc-
tors at their coming Washington meeting, and have
them appoint a committee to go further into the matter,
and report at the society's convention in August.

Baltimore, Md. William F. Ekas.

A Bouquet for the F. H. B.

In your edition of Jan. 22, 1921, I was interested in
the article, "A Bouquet for the F. H. B.", page 196, by
A. E. Wohlert, The Garden Nurseries, Narberth. Pa.,
quoting: "Quarantine 37 is becoming popular now. It
does not suit importers and I was one once. But I
have turned over a new leaf, and I am now a grower,
thanks to the F. H. B."

I think it would be most beneficial to the craft and
brother nurserymen at large to learn from Mr. Wohlert
what he has grown of these plants which he used to im-
port, [If Mr. Wohlert feels that it will not work an in-
jury to his business it would be gratifying to the trade
at large, especially that big majority who still feel sore
over the workings of Qu. 37 (and who are growers, not
importers) to have him tell us, through these columns,
definitely, just what stocks he has imported, and the
headway made with same, it being understood that only
three growing seasons have passed since the edict came
into effect, and that, at the most, the results accom-
plished cannot be expected to be as perceptible as though
more time had elapsed. — Ed.] and what method of prop-
agating he has applied to produce the same, as a number
of us are still in the dark in regard to how to procure
and produce the plants, which we were able to import
before Qu. 37 came into effect.

_ Without question, every one of us would be much
indebted to Mr. Wohlert, if he will give us an idea and
the necessary advice as to how to produce these plants,
so that we also may say, after a few years, like Mr.
Wohlert, "I am now a grower, thanks to the F. H. B."

What Peculiar Fertilizing Properties Are
Contained in Rich, Virgin Soil

An interesting letter comes to us from an esteemed
Far Western correspondent, who writes :

"I have not communicated with you for some time.
In the meantime. I have read much in your great paper
(which all florists can well be proud of) that has added
to the interest of my everyday work, to the enlighten-
ment of my mind, and to its contentment. To read The
Exchange is always an inspiring occupation, because it
gives me a larger view of things happening in our pro-
fession. The articles which have greatest attraction for
me are those covering features on Plant Breeding. A
book recently purchased from your office, "R. C. Punnet
on Mendelism," has been a source of great satisfaction,
for in its pages the inquisitive mind can discover what
plant breeders of note have accomplished. You should
advertise this book more thoroughly than vou do, be-
cause every progressive grower should have it in his
library.

"I would impress upon my brother florists that plant
breeding is a wonderful science with limitless possibili-
ties, but I do not believe that any florists of our day have
done as much research work as was done by the modest
monk, Mendel, in Austria, over 50 years ago. Claims
to the contrary are without foundation. To me, Men-
delism is the only startling discovery which paves the
way to future study in plant heredity."
* * *

Our friend draws attention to the fact that crops har-
vested from virgin and very rich soil show wonderful
results for a comparatively short period. This soil fer-
tility appears to be the key to success accomplished in

many instances, he notes, the virgin soil containing ele-
ments which produce an exuberant growth, but soon the
supply of these peculiar plant food elements vanishes
and no amount of fertilization seems able to restore just
the right equilibrium, at least for some plants. So then,
the question arises : What particular properties are con-
tained in this rich, virgin soil which, according to our
writer, is speedily exhausted and cannot be replaced?
Have our soil experts made any tests in this direction?
The study should prove an interesting one and to the
man who will manufacture a fertilizer that will prove to
have the same effect on the majority of plants as has
this virgin soil, there should come a great reward.

New York's Income Tax — A Correction

Referring to the article appearing on page 197 of last
week's Exchange explaining the essential requirements
of the New York State Income Tax law, our attention
has been called by the Income Tax Bureau to a slight
inaccuracy in the first column near the bottom. It is
there stated that "every withholding agent is required
to deduct and withhold two per cent from all salaries,
etc.", whereas, the amount that must by law be withheld
is actually onh "one per cent of salaries or other income
of less than $io,000."

This, it will be noted, corresponds with the judgment
of the Attorney General mentioned near the top of the
second column of the article. The error is explained
on the ground that hasty wording of the 1919 statute
and its amendments previous to the expression of the
Attorney General's decision, left the impression that a
two per cent withholding clause would be enforced.

For once, then, we have the pleasure to call attention
to a correction that involves a "revision downward."

Notes from Abroad

Mild weather still prevails in these lati-
tudes, iu fact, the tliermometer recently
touched the highest point recorded in Jan-
uary for over 80 years, and some days
were warmer than July 5 of last Summer.
Records are no doubt interesting enough
in their way, but normal seasons are much
more in the interest of the seed trade.

The accuracy of the American Commis-
sion's report last Spring that Europe
would be able to take care of itself this
season in the way of vegetable seeds con-
tinues to be amply proved, very few ar-
ticles indeed being in short supply. The
same, however, cannot be said of flower
seeds and California is being considerably
called on to help us out. Continental de-
liveries, especially from the South, are
unpleasantly slow, owing principally to the
still defective transport.

One of the largest retail concerns in
Xorth Britain, Austin & McAslan of Glas-
gow, has just been having some jubilee
celebrations, and is stated to have reached
the 203d year of its existence, a record in
the seed trade which it will be hard to
beat.

The Government department which has
been incubating the question of seed trade
insurance, has now evolved the decision
that all indoor employees of nurserymen,
florists and seedsmen come under the com-
pulsory scheme, whether they may be em-
ployed a large part of their time on the
land or not. So now we know.

On the Continent the demand for Beets
and Mangel Wurzels is not very active,
but the trade in the latter will develop
later. Carrot seed is not moving off very
rapidly; many lots are of defective ger-
mination and purchasers have become
wary in consequence. Ko very large
breadths are expected to be rut out for
next year. A fairly good demand for En-
dives is reported, though Chicories are
rather a drug. Lettuces are goinc well in
most sorts; there will not be much seed
left and all tbe large houses are anxious to
place contracts for which growers are ask-
ing high figures. Cabbage seed is being
asked for in limited quantities. Spinach
is an uncertain quantity as vet; in some
parts the Winter crop will be pulled
green, by which a better profit is some-
times made than by letting it stand for
seed. Central Europe is active with offers
and catalogs, but is not buying a great
deal. Transatlantic Seedsman.

New York Seed Trade

Fruit stocks, raffia and Bamboo stakes
are arriving from Europe and Japan,
and American grown bulbs and roots from
several sections of the counti-y where
these are grown. Flower and vegetable
seeds are coming in freely, both from
the growing districts of the United States
and from Europe. The sales of flower
seeds to florists are reported to be large,
and vegetable seeds on mail orders are
beginning to be sent out. Sales of seeds
to go to South America are reported. An
increase in the number of those who are
employed to put up seeds is noticed in
nearly all the stores of this city.

We may add to our previous list of
seedsmen who have mailed out catalogs :
Maurice Fuld, Inc., J. M. Thorburn &
Co., Peth & Duggan, the MuUer-Sealey
Co.

Frank C. Woodruff of the firm of S. D.
Woodruff & Sons, and Mrs. Woodruff, left
the city on Jan. 14 for Rock Ledge, Fla.,
for their usual Winter vacation.

Among the large exhibitors at the poul-
try show which was held at Madison
Square Garden in this city last week,
was the MacNiff Horticultural Co. This
company showed incubators and brood-
ers of several makes, also a full line of
requisites for the poultry house and yard,
and of poultry remedies and foods.

At Vaughan's Seed Store, the mail or-
der department reports that it is busily
working on florists' flower seed orders.
The bulb department reports that Tube-
roses and Caladium bulbs and Canna
roots have been shipped from the South
and are expected to arrive soon. J. C.
Vaughan of Chicago is expected in town
this week.

Stumpp & Walter Co. made a compre- '
hensive display at the poultry show at
Madison Square Garden last week of
poultry foods, remedies, books, poultry
house and poultry yard supplies, and of
the famous Prairie State incubators and
brooders.

Calling on James McHutchison & Co.
this week we did not find Mr. McHutchi-
son in, but we were glad to learn through
C. B. Knickman that he is in greatly
improved health and is now usually at his
desk on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
afternoons of each week, and that he
hopes, with recovered health in the near
future, to be there a larger part of the
time. This will certainly be welcome
news to Mr. McHutchison's many friends
in the trade. During this call Mr. Knick-
man told us that the firm was now receiv-
ing heavy shipments of French fruit
stocks from Europe and of colored and
natural Bamboo stakes from Japan, sev-
eral carloads of which have recently ar-
rived, and also of raflia, of which this
company is a large importer. Mr. Knick-
man intended to start out on his Western
trip right after the holidays, but the firm
has been so busy he was obliged to de-
lay his start, but expects to go soon. He
■will cross the continent to the Pacific
Coast via the South and back through
the Middlewest or Northwest.

S. S. Skidelsky of S. S. Skidelsky Co.
tells us that during his travels he at-
tended a meeting of the Hartford (Conn.)
Florists Club on .Tan. 11. during which
much enthusiasm developed around a plan
to form a State association of the florists
of Connecticut. John Coombs and N.
Osborne were among the leaders of tbis
plan.

Calling on Muller-Sealey Co., Inc., re-
cently we learned that Mr. Muller was
on a Western business trip, but found Mr.
Sealey busy in the office. Mr. Sealey re-
ports business as good, indeed, with or-
ders coming in freely for Spring delivery.
This company lias been recently ap-
pointed agent in the United States for
Sanders, St. Albans, Eng.

Chicago Seed Trade

Immediate orders from seed dealers all
over the country indicate that they are
preparing for a larger business than ever
before. Dealers who are known to the
trade as short buyers are, this season,
increasing orders to a notable extent.

Many items in flower seeds that come
from Germany are slow in arriving which
causes seedsmen considerable delay in the
filling of all orders completely. Tlie \m-
settled conditions that exist between this
country and Germany is given by some,
as a reason for the slow delivery of seed.

There are already some instances where
growers complain of portions of their Tu-
lip crops going blind. This is especially
true of growers whose bulbs are shipped in
very large cases. The heat generated by the
i>ulbs in transit cannot escape from the
large cases as quickly as it does from the
smaller ones, and is given as a reason for
overheating to a degree that spoils the
embryo bloom in the bulbs. As a natural
consequence the buds go blind when forced
for the cut flower market. There is a
general move on foot between the Holland
salesmen at present in the city and the
growers and importers, for the use of
smaller cases in all future shipments.

The Everette R. Peacock Co.'s store on
Milwaukee ave., suffered a loss estimated
at §10,000 by fire Jan. 15. The loss is
fully covered by insurance.

Chicat^o ttCM-dHUicn arc finding a little 1
consolation in the fact that the new ex- |
press rates do not include bulbs and seeds.
Tliose of the trade, however, that handle
plants, slirubs, etc., will have to stand the
increased rate of from 33 1-3 to 50 ijlm-
cent increase in the cost of transportation.

Manager R. B. Howe, of the W. W.
Barnard Co., reports the season's trade
<'pening well; in the retail and wholesale
llower seed departments, there is much
activity. Returns from the wholesale cat-
alogs are coming in satisfactorily.

The American Bulb Co. is moving 1
Gladioli for immediate planting in green-
liouses at a lively rate. Cannas are re-
ported to be selling well with King Hum-
bert still a leader in point of sales in its
class, 1 . Rosnosky will represent this
house at the Carnation meeting and ex-
hibition in Washington, D. C, this week.

Vaughan's Seed Store report much ac-
tivity in all departments; seeds, plants,
and bulbs, including Gladioli, Cannas, and
Caladiums being in particularly strong de-
mand. The representatives of the house
on the road are turning in good business
and report the trade as being quite opti-
mistic as to the future, in all sections cov-
ered.

Boston Seed Trade

The seed business, this Spring, bids fair
to be a lively one. Orders and inquiries
are coming in earlier and stronger than
ever and the demand for florists' seeds
is already way ahead of last year, so that
the clerks are kept busy filling orders.
The fact that tuberous Begonias are al-
most unobtainable, creates a lot of corre-
spondence with customers who have to be
told all about the intricacies and fol-de-
rols of the Federal Horticultural Board's
quarantine rules.

The distribution of the new catalogs is
well under way; some firms have already
finished the job.

Funeral services for Mrs. Sarah. E. Raw-
son, widow of Warren W. Rawson, who
was the founder of the old-time seed store
of the W. W. Rawson Co., Faneuil Hall
Square, Boston, were held on Jan. 15 at
the residence of her son, Herbert W.
Rawson, 295 Broadway, Arlington. Dr.
Frederick Gill, minister of the Arlington
First Parish Unitarian Church, officiated.

San Francisco Seed Trade

Guy French of the American Bulb Co.,
Chicago, called on the trade last week.

The California Seed Potato Growers
Association has issued a booklet on the
growing of Potatoes from certified seed.
It is the intention of the association to
produce Potatoes that are entirely free
from disease.

C. O. Morrison of Madera, Cal., has
been appointed farm advisor of Madera
County. Mr. Morrison was formerly As-

Dept. of Agriculture Appropriations

Nearly twenty million dollars is lopped
off the estimates of the Department of
Agriculture in the bill just reported to
the House of Representatives, covering
appropriations for the operation of the
department during the fiscal year begin-
ning July 1 next. The bill as reported by
the committee provides $33,517,459, a de-
crease of $19,511,925 from the estimates
of $53,029,384 submitted by the depart-
ment, but $1,804,675 more than the ap-
propriations for the current fiscal year.

"In considering the large increases in
current appropriations estimated for by
the Secretary of Agriculture it was im-
possible for the committee to lay down
any general rule which could be applied
to all the items of appropriation without
exception or modification," it is declared
in the report accompanying the bill as
submitted to the House. "It was in every
case a matter of the committee's best
judgment in the light of all the circum-
stances, taking into consideration, of
course, the necessity of exercising the
most rigid economy.

"In considering the items of appro-
priation it was the policy of the com-
mittee not to allow increased appro-
priations representing only increased in-
vestigational or extension work of the
same kind as was being carried on under
the appropriation. It was the belief of
the committee tbat the present financial
condition of the Government did not jus-
tify increased activities along lines which

"The President"

Chosen by an Orerwhelming Majority as the

GREATEST CANNA
IN COMMERCE

"I have been mucli impressed \vith some of the
new- Camias that I have tried this Smmner, and
cannot refrain from mentioning two. These are
The President and Snow Queen. President is by
all odds the best red Canna today, larger and
better than Firebird and a free bloomer; the
foliage is strong and does not bum, as does that
of Firebird. Those who have tried Firebird and
lamented that it would not do on account of
diseased foliage will rejoice to know that at last
we have a Canna that is 'right.' Snow Queen
is whiter than any other Canna on the market.
It is also one of the largest individual flowers
among Cannas of any color, is as tree as the
freest, and the trusses are of enormous size. It
has a better habit of growth and better foliage
than either Eureka or Flag of Truce, the best
two whites heretofore. Only in the best reds do
we find anything that approaches it in general
value." — Flotd Bkalliak.

— Extract from the Florist's Review, Septem-
ler 28. 1919.

Description. — We tliought so much of this
Canna we put it in color on our catalog. —
Height, 4 feet. In color, a rich, glowing scarlet,
and the immense, firm, rounded flowers, 7 inches across when open,
are produced on strong, erect stalks well above the large, rich green
foliage. "The President" is superior to any other red variety in the
quantitv and also quality of bloom, and the firm flowers resist
drought and heat to a remarkable degree. A large bed of this
varietv was planted last year on the grounds of the Washmgton
"Monument, Washington, D. C. Another "President" Canna bed was
on the Garden Pier at Atlantic City, while several more were to be
seen in the largest public parks in this country where these beauti-
ful flowers received the unqualified admiration of every Canna-
lover. Naturally, a tremendous demand has been created. Get your

presented no particular or unusual emer-
gency. The committee did allow in-
creases where increased appropriations
were necessary for the maintenance or
preservation of the Government's prop-
erty, for the full use of existing facilities
or personnel, where infestations or out-
breaks of animal or plant diseases pre-
sented emergencie.=; ^vhich necessitated in-
creased appropriations, and in cases where
new or increased appropriations seemed
desirable in aid of establishing new in-
dustries or finding new uses for existing
agricultural products."

Among the items estimated for. but
not allowed by the committee ( in the
activities covered by Thv: Exchange)
were S25.000 asked for the investigation
of purity and viability of vegetable seeds
by the Bureau of Plant Industry, and
$239,416 for the purchase and distribu-
tion of (Congressional) free seeds. The
forest service was refused S25.000 for in-
sect control, and SoO.OOO for the develop-
ment of recreational resources. * * •
An estimate of .SIOO.OOO for emergency
control of unexpected insect outbreaks
■was not included in the bill.

In a large number of other instances,
the amount included in the bill is the
same as that appropriated for the current
year, among these items being §62,020
for plant disease investigations by the
Bureau of Plant Industry ; ?39,820 for
■drug plant investigations ; .*?41.6S0 for
■seed testing: S27.200 for investi-
gations in economic and systematic
botany : S71.940 for horticultural in-
vestigations. §20.000 for nurserv stock in-
vestigations. $20,500 for Arlington ex-
perimental farm. $125,000 for foreign seed
and plant introduction, and S125.000 for
forage crop investigations and the pur-
chase, propagation and distribution of
new and rare seeds.

The Bureau of Chemistry is given $20,-

000 for insecticide and fungicide investi-
gations. The Bureau of Entomology is
given a total of §1.574,940 for its vari-
ous insect investigations and general ad-
ministrative expenses. A total of $146,-
910 is allowed for enforcement of the
Insecticide Act.

Salaries in the Federal Horticultural
Board are placed at .$46,600, an increase
of §13.300 over the current fiscal year ;
S113.410 is allowed for enforcement of
the plant quarantine act, a decrease of
$12,040 from the present appropriation ;
and $25,300 for extermination of the
Potato wart. An appropriation of .$390.-
160 is given the Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates for its market news serv-
ice on seeds, feeds, live stock, vegetables,
etc. This is $13,760 less than the ap-
propriation for the current year.

[It is to be understood that the al-
lowances under mention have now to be
acted upon by Congress. — ^Ed.]

vate seed dealers will immediately ad-
vance their prices 20 or 25 per cent, and
perhaps more, so that my amendment
is intended partly to prevent profiteering
at the expense of the farmers. I am aware
that the seed producers are opposed to
this congressional distribution of seeds,
and I think that one reason for it is
that the Government furnishes the highest
grade of seed that is obtainable, and
that, of course, compels the private deal-
ers to do the same thing. But, as a
matter of fact, this Congressional distri-
bution is, in my judgment, a real aid to
the private dealers in seeds, although they
may not realize it. because it stimulates
interest in farming and gardening, and
therebv increases the demand for seeds."
E. A. D.

Again, Free Seeds

After the usual debate upon the ques-
tion, the usual appropriation for free
seeds for Congressional distribution was
allowed Jan. 24 by the House of Repre-
sentatives. No provision was made for
the distribution in the bill, as reported
by the agricultural committee, but on an
amendment offered by Representative
Langley of Kentucky, §360,000 was pro-
vided for the purpose.

Charges of profiteering by seed dealers
were made during the debate by Repre-
sentative Blanton, but Congressman
Langley answered that by this distribu-
tion profiteering was prevented. "If we
discontinue the Congressional distribution
of seeds, as the committee has proposed,"
he said, '"it is my opinion that the pri-

Hearing on Tariff on Garden and
Vegetable Seeds

Arguments lor and against increases in
the rates of duty assessed by the Under-
wood Tariff Act on garden and vegetable
seeds were heard b.v the House Ways and
IMeans Committee, Jan. 25, when represen-
tatives of the seed industry appeared be-
fore it. A plea for higher rates was
made bv F. P. Lillv, of Chas. H. Lilly Co.,
Seattle, Wash.

'"Our industry, already feeling seriously
the effects of competition from the seed
growers of Germany, Holland, France,
England, Denmark, Sweden and Japan,"
said ^Ir. Lill.v, "is appealing to this com-
mittee for an increase in the tariff rates
on garden seeds over the rates carried in
the present law. We are facing active
competition from abroad, a comnetition
which has been increasing steadily since
the close of the war. Today .Japan is
reaching out for the seed trade of the

L'nited States and your attention is in-
Wted to an ad of a Japanese concern
which states it will grow under contract
'from your own stock any vegetable or
flower seeds,' adding that with the cheap
labor in Japan it can grow at a lower
cost than any other country in the world.

"There are many ads of foreign seed
growers, notably Danish, German and
English competitors, all striving through
the advertising mediums of our trade to
establish themselves in the American mar-
ket in competition with domestic growers.

"The State of Washington is a large
producer of Cabbage, Beet (garden and
ilangel varieties). Turnip, Rutabaga,
Spinach seed and of garden Peas. Our
farms to a large extent supply the Ameri-
can market with these varieties. The
farms of the State of Washington pro-
duce more Cabbage seed than all the other
States in the Union, and in 1919 produced
88 per cent of all the Cabbage seed grown
in the United States. Washington is one
of the largest producers of garden seed in
the L'nited States. During the war, we,
like other industries, needed no protective
duty, but since trade with Europe has
been resumed, our old competitors have
been making heavy inroads into the
American market, while Japanese compe-
tition has never abated. Importations of
garden seeds are increasing rapidly and
American production is correspondingly
declining."

Mr. Lilly then offered the committee a
schedule of rates intended to enable
American seed growers to stand up under
foreign competition in the belief this tariff
was necessary. The increased duties asked
would average 300 to 400 per cent higher
than at present.

Mr. Lilly further drew attention to the
cancellation of orders for vegetable seeds
gro\\-n in the West, the orders for which
were placed in 1919 to be delivered after
a har\^est of the 1920 crop. Much of this
seed, Mr. Lilly claims, was refused at des-
tination because the seed houses had found
they could buy foreign grown seeds at
lower prices. If contracts were entered
into at the present time with the Wash-
ington farmers the prices would be 60c. for
Cabbage, 18c. for Beet, loc. for Spinach,
I9c. for Turnip. The imported Cabbage
seed is being quoted as low as 38c., Spin-
ach as low as 7c., and other seeds in pro-
portion, "and these in markets where we
must compete with seed from Europe and
Japan."

J. C. Vaughan, of Vaughan's Seed Store,
Chicago and Xew York, protested against
^ny radical increase in the tariff on seeds.
'■It was true that during the war it was
impossible to grow seeds in Europe to any
considerable extent and there was a forced
production in the l'nited States," he said.
Spinach seed which we had formerly been
able to produce for 5c. a pound in Hol-
land we were obliged to pay 35c. a poimd
for in the State of Washington. The
duty was Ic. a pound. Obviously, in or-
der to keep the industry in Washington on
a war basis they would be obliged to be
protected by a duty many times larger
than was ever known before. The same
thing, in a measure, is true of Beet seed.
Beet had never been produced on the
Pacific Coast but imder the stress of the
WAV demand they were able to grow Beet
seed on a commercial basis. Now that the
war is over the trade is resuming its o^vn
channels and there is no longer a market
for the California and Washington Beet
seed.

"It is true, as has been said, tliat the
price of these seeds has declined. I do
not think that the decline is due to the
absence of a protective tariff. It is due
to the general decline of all farm products.
The price of Cabbage seed is determined
by the large supply of Cabbage seed on
hand. Washington was extremely fortu-
nate two years ago in having a buinper
crop. Every seedsman in the L^nited
States is supplied — there is no demand
from the grower, consequently the price
is low.

"I believe in a protective tariff as a
Republican," he said, 'Tjut I think it
would be folly to try and meet all the
extraordinarj" conditions of the present
^a tariff which would attempt to retain
war levels of prices. I think it is an
imnossibility."

''Would you be in favor of a duty that
would encourage the production of these
seeds in this country under normal con-
ditions?" inquired Chairman Fordney.

"The seed industry has always gone
where seed could be produced to the uest
advantage and where it could be produced
most cheaply. The tariff on seeds has been
simply a revenue producing device with-
out any element of protection in it."

"The King of Commerce"

THE GREATEST DAHLIA OF THE DAY

A triumph in the commercial Dahlia world —
something that florists have been looking for and
not found until now — a truly perfect Dahlia.

In shape, a true decorative; straight, strong
petals, attractively arranged.

Color, a rich tango, beautifully lighted old gold
and orange; irridiscent under both artificial and
sunlight.

Size, 5 to 6 inches in diameter, never gets small
under any circumstances!

Substance, exceedingly firm, yet not stiff or
formal; never wilts or drops petals; will dry up
with age.

Stem IS to 36 inches or more, clean, strong and
wiry, with bloom set squarely on top.

Growth, very vigorous and healthy, branching
freely; height 5 feet. Entirely free from all insect
ravages. Good, strong tuber growth.

Season, early to late; the entire season without
intermission!

Strong Divisions to the Trade, net, $40.00 per

doz.

Orujiiiated and for sale by

E. L. KUNZMAN, Prop., NEW ALBANY, IND.

Rosy Morn Petunias

Among the beddinff Petunias and, when
you want a bed or border of one solid
color. Rosy Morn is one of the best.
While the flowers are small, its beautiful
rose color and its being in bloom all the
time, makes it so desirable. With many
of us, the pink shades of bedding plants
have been all the go for the past five
-.years. We used to grow this Petunia
from cuttings in order to get them true,
but an excellent strain of seed can be had
now, coming almost true. Seed sowing
is an easier way if you have to have
thousands of plants. While this sort will
flower, even in small pots, from seed
sown by the middle of March, you should
have at least a good number of extra
heavy plants in 4's by the middle of May
and for such seed can be sown any time
now. Grow the little plants cool to
keep them stocky and pinch them once
and keep shifted. A good partner to Rosy
Morn is Snowball, the small single white.
Every once in a while, we have call for
free white flowering plants, and there is
nothing to beat this sort. Tou can also
use it to good advantage in vases and win-
dow boxes. The Rosy Morn is good for
that purpose, too.

Giant Ruffled Petunias

During the past five years, we have had
more or less a shortage of Geraniums, es-
pecially in the lighter shades, and many
florists who formerly grew just a few
Petunias, started to stock up with them
more and more, not only of the double
sorts, but the singles also, and they
found that to a great extent they sold
as well as Geraniums. What helped along
was the fact that constant improvements
were made, in the single forms, especially.

and today the giant rnffled monsters rank
among the moat desirable of plants to
carry during May and June. Everybody
seems to like them, and a well grown
plant, well branched and full of flowers,
which come in an endless variety of
shades, finds a ready sale at prices often
higher than we can get for Geraniums or
anything else in the bedding plant line.
When you consider that you can grow
such a plant in about ZV2 months from
seed, it is well to push them. Sow now
your first batch of seed, and make another
sowing in about a month from now. Grow
enough of them ; let the plants, when they
get large, have a thin stake and plenty
of room,

Freesias

Quite a few florists, while purchasing
each year fresh bulbs of the Freesias they
grow under glass, also save some of them
over. If you wish to do so, and have
plants from now on which either are
through flowering, or which failed to
bloom, if they are in a bench, lift them
with as much soil as you can possibly
get and place them under a bench in the
Carnation house. Here they can remain
for two or three months and slowly dry
off, after which they can be cleaned and
the largest bulbs only stored away for
next Fall's planting. Don't allow them
after being lifted to become too dry, but
rather keep the soil a little moist for
awhile. Freesia bulbs are cheap com-
pared with other things, and I believe it
is almost as cheap to purchase what you
want each year and yet, if you have the
proper facilities, the time, and good plants
with large bulbs, it doesn't seem quite
right not to save at least some of your
own stock. There are growers who do
this very successfully from year to year,

but don't dig the plants up with green

foliage and dry them off all at once.

Double Cornflowers

The double Cornflowers don't like heat ;
the first flowers we cut from the plants
outdoors in eaVly Summer are usually
the best, but even these are not to be com-
pared with plants from under glass. There
are few annuals we grow indoors which
will produce per plant as many flowers or
last over a longer period than they do
and, due to their rich color, long stems
and excellent keeping qualities, every re-
tail grower can make good use of them.
Seed can be sown now ; when large
enough, pot the seedlings into 2%'s and
carry them in a Carnation house. Later
on, if you don't wish to plant them on a
bench, shift into S'/o's and bench about
the first of April, allowing not less than
12 inches between them. They will start
to flower by early May and keep it up
until you are ready to cut the first
flowers from the plant outdoors. If you
need cut flowers at all during May by
all means try some of them ; there is also
a double pink now offered of which it
is well to have a few.

Salv'a America

Years ago Salvias were among the im-
portant bedding plants ; a garden or yard,
no matter how well filled with flowers,
was never complete without a bed or bor-
der of Salvias. Then gradually we got
away from it ; most of our patrons
thought Salvias made things look too
red, softer shades came into fashion and
for a number of years we usually sold
out of everything else but the Salvias,
even after cutting down on their number
each Spring. Of late, however, there
seems to be more demand again for them,

Notes from Overseas

Ericas by the Thousand

Reference was recently made to the
great Erica growers, J. Sweet & Sons,
who supply Covent Garden, London, with
some of the finest i)Ot plants. A recent
issue of The Gardeners Chronicle con-
tained some interesting notes concerning
this firm, which was founded by James
Sweet, V. M. H., at Whetstone, some 35
years ago. At the present time the
glass house area is twelve acres.

Many of the houses are 400ft. long and
the whole are almost entirely devoted to
pot plants and Grapes. The output of
the latter is about 50 tons annually.

Marguerites are grown on a vast scale
for flowering in December and after,
while Cineraries, Boronlas, Solannms,
Acacias, Rhododendrons, Azaleas and
Crassulas are all handled in tremendous
quantities. The Heaths are, however,
the leading line, and the sorts grown in-
clude gracilis, nivalis, hyemali, hyemalis
grandiflora, and melanthera for Christ-
mas and later. These are grown in all
sizes, the two first named being flowered
as one year olds and onward, up to the
five year old plants a yard or more high.
The normal stock of Ericas grown by this
firm consists of 30.000 gracilis in 4in.,
30.000 nivalis in 4in., 25,000 hyemalis,
5000 melanthera, 6000 persoluta, and 10,-
000 ventricosa and its varieties.. Of
smalls in all types, 200,000 is the yearly
output, In addition, the beautiful yellow
Cavendishiana. propendens and Wil-
morei are grown in large numbers. Prac-
tically the whole of the propagation is
done by girls who are peculiarly adept at
handling the miniature cuttings.

Apart from the plants mentioned, which
are nearly all brought into use for the
Christmas trade, the firm handles white
and colored stocks, Mignonette, Gera-
niums, including Ivy Leaved, Roses, Ver-
benas, and Hydrangeas. The Marguerite
output is 60,000.

It may be mentioned that the term
"smalls" as applied to Ericas, relates to
the miniatures which are sold in such

vast quantities in the London market.
Plants of E. gracilis and nivalis are flow-
ered at one year in Sin. pots and, at
shipping time, the roots are skilfully cut
down with a special knife until they fit
"thimbles," a special pot about l%in. in
width and depth. These tiny pots are
fitted into special trays, holding one
dozen, which wholesale in these days at
about $2 a tray. For decorative pur-
poses, especialljy for tables, they are
specially cute. The root trimming does
not apparently affect the plants.

Combination Flower Bed for
Continuous Display

We would like to have you tell us what
to use in an 8ft. circle planting (bed)
for maximum results in bloom through
the entire season, Spring to Pall, using
perennials or annuals. This bed is to be
laid out in a conspicuous position direct-
ly in front of the front door of the dwell-
ing. There will be very little shade.
— F. B., Penna.

The following combinations of annual
flowers for a circular bed 8ft. in diameter,
located in a conspicuous and sunny place
in front of a dwelling, to have a maxi-
mum of bloom the entire season, would
be beautiful and effective :

Combination I. — Plant the whole bed
with pink Verbena, except one row around
the outer edge which could be either the
golden Tagetes pumila, a dwarf golden
French Marigold, or a golden California
Poppy (Eschscholtzia). The whole bed
can be dotted over 2ft. apart with a half
dwarf yellow Snapdragon.

Combination II. — Retaining the pink
Verbena for a carpet, plant one row
around the edge of either blue Verbena
or Browallia elata or a dwarf blue Agera-
tum ; dot the bed over ten inches, or less,
apart with light and dark blue annual
Larkspur.

Combination III. — Carpet the bed all
over with Petunia Rosy Morn or other
good dwarf pink variety of Petunia. Edge
with a dwarf yellow French Marigold and
dot the whole bed over ten inches apart
with lavender, blue and white flowered
annual Scabiosa.

Combination IV. — Carpet the bed with
white Verbena and dot over it 18in. apart
dark red, salmon rose, bright scarlet and
orange colored dwarf Zinnias. Edge with
the dwarf Calliopsis Golden Ray, 9in.
high or similar variety.

Combination V. — Carpet the bed with
Alyssum Little Gem, edge with yellow
California Poppy and dot the bed over
with red Zinnia, Little Red Riding Hood,
one foot apart. A few Calliopsis Golden
Hay or Tiger Star planted at intervals
among the Zinnias would add to the
beauty of the bed.

Combination VI. — Alyssum Little Gem
for a carpet, dotted over 18in. apart with
the shrimp pink annual Malow, Lavatera
rosea. Edge with the yellow Tagetes
pumila.

Combination VII. — There are few
hardy perennials that give a display of
bloom throughout the entire season. Del-
phiniums are among the most beautiful
showery and effective. They are best
in July and early August, but by cutting
back some of the plants, thus preventing
the first blooming, and keeping the old
flower stalks cut off before they seed, and
planting some young plants each Spring,
a continuation of bloom may be obtained
throughout the whole season.

Plant the bed with Delphiniums in sev-
eral varieties, interspersed with the azure
blue Scabiosa caucasica. Among these
plant 200 Montbretia bulbs. Edged with
either the hardy perennial dwarf
white variegated grass, Arrhenathe-
rum hulbosum, annual dwarf French
yellow Marigold, white annual Stock, or
white Snapdragon. Some of the best Del-
phiniums for this purpose are Bella-
donna, sky-blue, 3ft. : Queen of the Bines,
gentian blue, 18in. ; Porcelain blue, ISin. ;
formosum, rich blue. 3ft. ; sulphureum,
yellow, 3ft.; coslestinum, 3 ft. and nndi-
caule, scarlet, 1ft. — W. G. G.

Forcing Gladioli

Information regarding varieties suit-
able, when to plant and when best prices
are obtained in the market, would be ap-
preciated. Also, kindly say whether it
would pay to buy bulblets to grow on
for stock for forcing next year. I pro-

and especially during the past two sea-
sons. There is no doubt but that if a
good stock is prepared for the coming
Spring and their sales pushed a little, you
will sell all you have on hand. The seed
of those wanted early should be sown now
and, if you want the best there is, by
all means grow America, which, to my
mind, is one of the showiest all Summer
bloomers. Seed of this sort will almost
come true, but if you use Salvias to any
extent, plant out a good number on your
own grounds, allowing plenty of space
between the plants. Next October lift a
few of the very best plants for stock ;
they may be worth while.

Sowing Seeds

This is the time when the florist us-
ually gets busy with the seed pans and
flats. There is hardly a week when there
is not something more to be sown and,
while seed such as Calendulas, Verbenas,
or Salvias can be covered quite heavy and
will still germinate, others such as Lo-
belia, Petunia or Begonia have very
small seeds, especially the last named
two. They cost considerable if you buy
the best, the only kind worth while. In
order to get the best results, the utmost
care has to he taken and especially in
watering. If you sow in seed pans, the
time to do you main watering is before
you sow; get the pan, as well as the
soil, as full of water as is possible. When
this is done, you can keep the surface
afterward lightly sprayed with a Seollav
sprayer, morning and evening. Tou won't,
then, wash the seeds from the center of
the pans toward the sides, which you are
bound to do when using a watering can.
You can't cover such seeds much ; in fact,
no covering is needed if you press the
seeds gently into the surface and apply
shade until germination starts.

pose planting a 32ft. x 200ft. house —
B. B., N. J.

America, Augusta, Chicago White, Mrs.
F. King, Schwaben, PrimuUnus hybrids,
white America and Brenchleyensis, are
good forcing sorts. Needless to say, Gla-
dioli pay best before the outside blooms
come in. If you plant now, and con-
tinue at intervals during February, yoa
can be sure of a market.

Regarding planting bulblets for grow-
ing on, don't, unless you have light soil.
The Gladiolusgrowshetter, multiplies more
rapidly and gives finer flowers on sandy
soil than any that is on the heavy side.
You may grow good Gladioli on sand,
but never find it profitable on heavy soil
if you are after bulbs.

Outdoor Chrysanthemums

Can you give me a list of 'Mums suit-
able for outdoor growing and Fall cutting.
— F. P. P., Ont., Can.

The following are in most seasons
around this section quite satisfactory and
hardy enough to stand the Winter in
the open with little protection ; Baldwin's
Scarlet, Etoile d'Or, yellow; Julia La-
gravere, garnet ; Lucifer, blood red ; Mrs.
Roberts, pink ; Soleil d'Or, yellow. White
Countess, White Doty, Autumn Glow,
crimson ; Ohi Homestead, pink ; Nor-
mandie, pink ; Lillian Doty, pink ; Iva,
bronze ; Doris, bronzy red ; Little Dot,
dark crimson.

A Desirable Raspberry

Would you please tell me through your
valued paper the name of a Raspberry
I have in mind, as I would like to get
some stock of it. This berry is a dark
red, but the plants do not throw suckers
as the red Raspberry does. It makes a
far better plant. — A. E. P., N. J.

Judging by your description we should
say the variety is Columbian. This has
unusually large purple red fruit which
holds on a long time, is a vigorous grower,
making canes 10ft. or more, drought re-
sistant, and can only be propagated from
the tips, as it never suckers.

Thursday. Jan. 20, was the day, and
the Hotel Wheatland the place where the
ever faithful dozen of our members met
and discussed the problems incidental to
our business and how to overcome the
unfavorable weather conditions.

Arthur Neissen was invited to attend
and give us a talk, but owing to a pre-
vious engagement, could not come.

The committee on arrangements for
the trip to Washington to attend the
meeting of the American Carnation So-
ciety made their report and the pros-
pects are for a good attendance from this
section. After tbe meeting refreshments
were served by Mrs. Elmer Weaver, Mrs.
Ira Landis and Mrs. A. M. Herr and the
social features of the meeting were so
pleasing that home bad no attractions for
those present.

B. F. Barr was unable to be present,
but had the secretary read a letter ad-
dressed to the members inviting one repre-
sentative of each firm having membership
in the association, to meet at the Bruns-
wick for the February meeting at 6.15
p.m.. Feb. 17, for a dinner meeting at
his expense. Others who wish to attend,
will be welcome. Dinner tickets may be
had at 75c. each, so that no one will
have an excuse to stay away.

It was decided to hold a flower show

The GroMnng and Prepararation of Evergreens and Their Uses

in Landscape Gardening

Address of C. L. Seybold, Wilkes-Barre, Pa,, before the American Association of Nurserymen at Chicago

We know, of course, that all conifers prefer a well-
drained, loamy soil that is moderately rich, but most of
them prefer a light soil that is open and porous.

If the more delicate and half hardy kinds cannot be
given such soil, don't plant them. Far North and in
exiposed positions we often find even comparatively
hardy kinds unable to winter through; because the
growing; season is shorter, the growth does not ripen
sufficiently to pull them through.

All evergreens that are not carefully burlapped and
kept moist during the period of transportation generally
arrive in a damaged condition. However, most of the
damage is done by careless handling on the part
of railroad employees. The trials and tribulations ol
the nurserj'-men have been very severe during the past
few years, but better times are coming we hope.

The general public seems to be afraid to order ever-
greens on account of the large percentage of losses.
It is true, there are some varieties, especially the Pines,
Cedars, some Spruces, Cj'press and others that are hard
to transplant in the larger sizes, but this difficulty
can be overcome by giving preference to stock that has
been root-pruned in the nurseries.

I have seen car lots of Pines killed by prolonged
trips and careless railroad handling. Upon examination,
I found that the resinous, turpentine-like sap had
almost petrified in the wood which shrivelled up and
choked them; they became a total loss.

I am sure the sale of evergreens could be doubled by
inaugurating an educational campaign in their behalf,
for there is nothing growing on Mother Earth that can
surpass them in beauty and stateliness. In the matter
of plant value for high class ornamental work, they
are, in my opinion, in a class b}' themselves.

Evergreens for Many Purposes

There are many kinds of small coniferous shrubs and
plants that should be grown in greater quantities,
some of which have become extremely scarce, such as
the upright Taxus baccata erecta, T. fastigiata or
Florence Court Yew, T. baccata fructu luteo, a
very handsome golden fruited form, T. canadensis va-
riegata and T. baccata variegata.

There are many Thuyas, Biotas, and Thuyopsis of
exceptional merit. Yuccas, Japan Holly, Mahonia and
American-grown Holly among others work in well for
the front lines of coniferous borders. Hollies should be
transplanted in early Fall with a ball of earth. They
will make fresh roots before Winter and will start out
good and strong in Spring with new fibrous roots.

The Jumpers show many forms — prostrate, upright,
globe, dwarf compact, white, golden and variegated.
They are extensively used in rock and Japanese gardens
and in well-drained coniferous borders with the Alpine
Forest Heath, evergreen perennials, and grasses to fill

Planting Methods

As to the proper time for planting, I have, under
certain conditions and very frequently advocated early
Fall planting, a semi-dormant period, with excellent re-
sults, and where new growth has ripened well, I have
given early Fall planting the preference.

In case of extreme dryness give a thorough watering
or puddling — ^this should not be overlooked. It will at
once stimulate renewed root action and the plant will
become well established before Winter sets in. When
the groimd is slightly frozen, a mulch of litter, leaf
mould, evergreen boughs or straw wrappings will pro-
tect your fine specimens against dry mnds and severe
cold.

Heavy, irregular, coniferous borders are often planted
very densely for protection and immediate effect with
the idea of thinning them out later. Unless such work
is done judiciously by a careful planter with the right
creative idea for permanent effect, the job may turn
out a failure. The various characteristics, sky-line and

general effect should be carefully studied beforehand.
For this reason, experienced nurserymen and land-
scapers make iti a point to keep on hand cross-section
sketches of previous successful plantings.

These planting sketches can be used over and over
ngain with some slight alterations co suit certain condi-
tions. They may show an artistic intermingling of the
pyramidal, pendulous, globe and prostrate forms, as
well as the glaucous, bronze, golden and variegated va-
rieties. All must be judiciously balanced with a. much
larger number of green tints.

The city or suburban home grounds may be orna-
mented in the same manner on a smaller scale by using
tlie many kinds of dwarf and other coniferous shrubs
and plants. It is always of interest to the nurseries to

more atrtentdon than it does now. Picea alba, P. excelsa,
the Norway Spruce and the Hemlock should be used
more for this purpose; even Cypress Cedars and Si-
berian Art>orvitaes lend themselves for windbreaks,
screens and hedges.

Long stretches of treeless country roads or con-
necting avenues between towns and cities that are now
planted to deciduous trees, may have evergreen trees,
such as Spruce, Pine, Piceas or Cypresses added so that
the deciduous and evergreen trees alternate.

Memorial Tree Planting

The idea of memorial tree planting is one of the
most fitting and inspiring that has yet been conceived
by a patriotic people. Sentimentally and from the
standpoint of practicability what finer monuments could
be reared in commemoration of the sacrifice and glory
of those who gave the last full measure of devotion for
their country?

The planting of window and balcony boxes containing
small coniferous plants should become more general.
There has been complaint on the part of some, how-
ever that many plants would have to be replaced sev-

The *'Monterey Pine" (Pinus insignis) in Cornwall, England

Sheltering from high winds, Holly, Viburnum, Tinus (Lauristinus), Veroncias, Phormiums (New

Zealand Flax), Dracaenas and other Australian and New Zealand Plants

note the evergreens that thrive best in city yards under
certain conditions such as soil and climate.

Buxus sempervirens used in bordering beds is quite
hardy when thoroughly established, but it must be pro-
tected from the wind and sun for two Winter seasons
after planting.

Evergreen privets (Ligustrum lucidum and L. japoni-
cum) thrive well under similar conditions. These two,
however, are not as hardy as the Box and Euonymus.
The American Holly (Ilex opaca) is the only true and
reliable Holly. When transplanting it, the roots should
be severely pruned; this is generally overlooked.

Rhododendron beds bordered vidth Pieris alba flori-
bunda, known also as Andromeda floribunda, should be
employed more extensively. This is a valuable plant for
bordering purposes. Another good variety is P.
japonica.

The hardy dwarf Azaleas with their deep green fol-
iage and bright flowers, the Kalmias and still others are
all good border plants for Rhododendron and small
evergreen beds.

Windbreaks, Roadsides and Window Boxes

The planting of evergreens as windbreaks should be ad-
vocated more than it is. In Colonial times it received

eral times a season to keep them looking presentable.
The remedy is readily found in proper selection^

Nursery Show Grounds

Every nursery should have show grounds conveniently
located near the main entrance exhibiting the different
varieties of evergreens that are catalogued and grown
in the nursery. No attempt need be made to show land-
scape effects as straight rows containing good speci-
mens are sufficient to permit convenient Inspection by
the customers. However, larger nurseries with plenty
of space may show samples of groups, beds or exten-
sive irregular borders with sufficient lawn space to make
a most attractive exhibit which will show off the speci-
mens to better advantage, giving the customer an idea
of how his borders will look when planted.

Group plantings for park and cemetery entrances;
the screening of unsightly and objectionable places; the
treatment of both small and extensive lawns showing
at all times an open lawn effect; intersections of drive-
ways and paths showing their proper treatment; suit-
able variations in skylines, hedges and wmdbreaks— ail
these features may be shown to good advantage by dif-
(Contbnicd on. page 2-19)

What We Owe to Other Countries

It is an undeniable truth tliat few people, even those
intimately connected with horticulture, stop to consider
just how many of our economic plants and trees were
at some period within the past 300 years brought here
from foreign countries. Not only are we indebted to
other continents for many of our most beautiful decora-
tive plants but a large number of our most important
food plants also were foreign to this country.

The address given by Albert C. Burrage, president of
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society (see elsewhere)
draws attention to this remarkable fact. The list quoted
is, by no means, complete, but it serves to focus atten-
tion on this important subject and, furthermore, serves
to make clear the need for every care and consideration
in regard to the importation of new plants.

We know that the earth is, even now, being scoured
for plants of economic value by Government officials,
but it is just possible that horticultural subjects will be
made subservient to those that come under the heading
of agriculture.

The International Flower Show, at New York, opens
March 14 Only six weeks off. What are you doing
to help along its success? Don't forget that as well as
being the largest flower show of the year it is as well
one of the biggest business producers we have.

Cutting 10,000 blooms of Carnations from a bench,
150ft.xoft., is what Chas. P. Mueller of Wichita, Kan.,
has done for Mother's Day. In another column we
give Mr. Mueller's story of how he brought this about.
It's worth reading.

New York State Nurserymen's Association

Secretary-Treasurer C. J. Maloy advises us that the
annual meeting and banquet of the New York State Nur-
serymen's Association will be held at the Powers Hotel,
Rochester, N. Y., Thursday, Feb. 17, 1921. The meet-
ing will be addressed by nurserymen of national promi-

Building Costs and Timber Tendencies

Steel construction is certainly one of the immensely
valuable developments of modern civilization and inven-
tive genius, but so long as wood is available it will offer
many advantages for certain kinds of buildings. How-
ever, the closely related elements of supply and cost
have a good deal to say, especially when such facts as
the following are emphasized (in this case by the N. Y.
State College of Agriculture) : "When New Yorkers
got their lumber from their own Pine forests, transpor-
tation costs were a dollar a 1000 feet, and upper grades
cost $20 or $30. Today New Yorkers must pay $9 a
thousand to transport lumber from the South, and $20
to get it from the Pacific Coast."

No wonder building costs have gone up, and rents,
and the cost of living generally. Meanwhile, one of the
solutions, at least, remains the same, namely, the more
careful and economic utilization of our remaining tim-
ber resources, and also their augmentation by a sound
forestry policy of increased tree planting and improved
wood lot management.

"Say it with Flowers" an Established Fact

When a slogan or other catch phrase comes into such
general use that it is printed in the daily press without
the formality of quotation marks, it can be truthfully
said to have "arrived." Likewise the practice to which
it refers can be considered to have become an accepted
phase of the average citizen's everyday life.

In the New York Tribune for Jan. 25, in an account
of the return to the New York stage of a popular
vaudeville star, we note this sentence: "Standing room
in the back of the theater was pre-empted by a caravan
of florists, who had been bidden to say it with flowers."
Nothing unusual or extraordinary about that, you see :
as the most natural way possible in which to express
their regard and admiration, the actress's friends fell
back on the flower method.

But we do like that unusual twist whereby the article
says that the florists "had been bidden to say it with
flowers." Truly, when the consumer begins to take the
initiative and use the trade's expressive dictum it means
that the florists have done their work well in populariz-
ing the phrase and the use of floral expressions for
which it stands.

But don't stop. Keep it up!

the majority of our New York readers would prefer to
see the ordinance repealed. What we do suggest is,
that all who are interested think the matter over, decide
where they stand, and then throw the weight of their
opinions and wishes into the balance by writing to the
lawmakers as suggested.

More Views on the Permanent Fund

On another page we continue our policy of publishing
expressions of opinion as to the suggested plan for the
use of the S. A. F. Permanent Fiuid. As before these
warrant careful consideration, not only on account of
the points they bring out in criticism, favorable cr
otherwise, but also because of the ideas to which they
may easily give rise in the minds of those who are sim-
ply waiting to have their mental machinery stirred up
into action.

There is much significance, for instance, in the state-
ment of Mr. Ekas that "It is of as vital importance to
educate those already engaged in the business as it is
to attempt to educate the coming generation." This is
undoubtedly just as true as the statement (which is
probably accepted by everyone) that the purchasing pub-
lic of the present day must be educated to buy flowers
now just as energetically as the youth of the land are
trained to love and appreciate them in the future when
they grow up.

Referring to Mr. Welch's recommendation that the
Fund should not be touched save on the authorization
of a two-thirds vote of the members present at any
annual convention, we beg to suggest that even this
proposal does not constitute a sufficiently sure safeguard
against the possible injudicious use of part or all of the
Fund. It is well known that, in the enthusiasm of a
great gathering, ideas may rise, suggestions may be
made and definite actions -may be taken on the spur of
the moment — with the best of intentions, of course, but
nevertheless with considerably less careful considera-
tion than matters of such urgency deserve. To make
such a misstep quite impossible we would be inclined to
recommend that the Permanent Fund be made inviolate
except by a three-quarters or two-thirds vote of all the
members of the Society, such a vote to be taken by
ballot through the mails, after sufficient notice had been
given and generous discussion of the subject had been
entertained through the columns of the trade press.

We are not discouraged that several of the letters
received on this subject are not at all in sympathy with
the idea as originally proposed. Indeed, we had no de-
sire to "steam roller" any idea through. Our one aim
was to bring out on the floor a proposition that could
justifiably be discussed with a view to ultimately bring-
ing about some definite, permanently beneficial action.

Nevertheless we consider it an excellent sign that so
many of the opinions generously expressed by our read-
ers strike this note i That there is a need of greater
educational facilities for the future of the florists of the
country and that to help provide these facilities would
be a worthy and an admirable task for the best minds
and worthiest efforts of the S. A. F. and O. H.

Daylight Saving in New York

Your Opportunity, Whatever You Think

We know b}' experience that there are two very de-
cided sides to the Daylight Saving question, but that is
all the more reason why those who feel most strongly
about it should be told of any opportunity to express
their views if they care to do so.

In New York State there is before the Legislature a
bill to repeal the measure as it stood last year; on Jan.
19, the Assembly Committee on Agriculture reached an
agreement to report it out as a committee bill, at the
next meeting. Meanwhile another sentiment is growing
in favor of an amendment that will restrict the Day-
light Saving period to five months instead of seven.
.\nd, in addition, the numerous firm friends of the orig-
inal plan are up in arms to prevent any change at all.
The Merchants' Association of New York, for instance,
is making an appeal to "the business men of the State
of New York" to send telegrams and letters to their
State senators and assemblymen, and to the Governor,
urging the defeat of the repeal bill.

We do not go that far ; we are not certain but that

Water Storage Reservoirs

Growers are asked as to whether it is advisable to
store water in quantity directly under the greenhouse

A Florists' Exch.\xge subscriber is erecting some
modern greenhouses on a tract of land near a city but
apparently not sufficiently near to allow of a city' water
supply. A pond has been constructed that will hold
many times the amount of water needed for the entire
year. This pond is located 800ft. below the top of the
"hill on which it is proposed to build the houses. The
advice of our readers is asked on the following idea:

"We propose to build shallow reservoirs, say 180x30x
6ft. deep under houses to cover an area of 200x40ft. In
other words, the greenhouses will stand over these 6ft.
reservoirs which may be filled from the pond as often
as necessary. The idea is to have sufficient water on
hand to carry over the coldest period of the Winter
when ice may prevent pumping. A small pumping en-
gine inside, connected with a pressure tank, would dis-
tribute the water."

So far, that all appears feasible. Now this question
comes up. Would this large amoimt of w-ater, open to
evaporation in the greenhouses, have a harmful effect on
the stock which might be in the houses at that timer
These will be used particularly for Chrysanthemums in
season, and for blooming plants for store sales and win-
dow display.

Forward or Backward for the Nurserymen

Judging by some informational material sent us by I
Robert Pyle, chairman of the Nurserymen's Committee
on Market Development, the American Association of ]
Nurserymen has come to a definite parting of the ways,
to its Rubicon, if we may make a historical comparison.
Two matters seem to be up for discussion and decision
by the members of Mr. Pyle's committee; and inasmuch
as they are, presumably, trying to carry out the wishes
of the majoritj', the association members are being urged
to say where they stand.

The first question is, shall the use of the association
"Trustworthy Trees" trade-mark be continued. This
would seem to indicate that some do not approve of it,
but we admit that we cannot conceive of any good
reason for such an attitude. As Mr. Pyle says, "To
drop it would invite an avalanche of condemnation from
all the powerful mediums that so pointedly welcomed
its adoption." But, more than this, the discontinuance
of the trade-mark would constitute practically a repu-
diation of the policy of emphasizing trustworthiness in
the nursery business. Such a step we would view as a
definite step backward, a move along the downward,
faltering path, a failure to cross the Rubicon to heights
of greater success and service.

Secondly, there is the matter of a proposed advertis-
ing campaign to develop more business for 1921. This
contemplates the expenditure of $10,000 for three con-
secutive insertions in 19 farm journals and two general
garden magazines, whereby it should be possible theoret-
ically to reach 17,491,350 readers — seventeen for every
cent spent. These advertisements would feature two
practical pamphlets on the advantages of fruit and orna-
mental plantings, already written by acknowledged au-
thorities and available for distribution at ten cents each.
The ultimate idea would be to stimulate inquiries and
expressions of interest, many of w-hich could in all
probability be turned into actual business — a highly de-
sirable and necessarj' consummation in this year of dis-
turbed business conditions.

Here again we feel that under existing conditions a
policy of continued or even increased advertising — such
as that outlined above — would represent a forward step,
whereas a decision not to advertise would be a distinct
falling back.

We believe, and think that most careful observers
believe, that the low point of business depression has
been passed. The thing for all of us to do, therefore,
whether florists or nurser\-men, is to valiantly scale the
heights ahead, heights that shall lead to the smooth
plateau of sustained, secure prosperity. For the nur-
serymen this means action and the continued emphatic
employment of all possible force in winning, holding
aHd justifying the confidence of the buying public, and
in stimulating it to greater .buying activities.

We are not, perhaps, entitled or asked to vote on the
proposition that Mr. Pyle submits to his committee and
the A. S. N. But if we were, our vote would be a
heart}- ".\ye," that the efforts thus far put forth shall be
sustained.

Ignorance — Goethe said: "Nothing is more terrible than
to see ignorance in action." True enough, and some of the
horticultural stuff I read makes me scratch.

Thirtieth Annual >leetingf and Exhibition

American Carnation Society

Washington, D. C.

January 26 and 27

The Exhibition

(.Sl>cfial imre to The Florists' Exchange)

ll is an excellent show, the quality of blooms being
tiipnotch. The entries, however, are not equal to pre-
war standards. There are about 100 vases shown. The
hall is good, but not so well lighted as could be desired.

The predominating feature is scarlet. The vases of
this color arc numerous and of especially fine quality.
Wonderful vases of Laddie are also a feature. There
are many new seedlings on view, and some of these will
prove strong factors.

There is a big crowd present, keen and enthusiastic,
and a strong meeting is anticipated. Hartford (Conn.)
and Cincinnati are both seeking the 1922 meeting, with
odds on the latter if buttons count.

Coal and Coal

It isn't what you pay but what you get, as one well-
known grower remarked when the subject of coal was
brought up.

And he is surely right. To the coal merchant of
today, anything that is black is coal, just as the gas
companies assume that anything that will go through a
pipe and make a smell is gas.

But it isn't. We know the gas companies are de-
naturing gas to such an extent that it hasn't the strength
to let its light shine before men. Only the other day
a party wrote to the papers stating that when she
sneezed, the gas went out, as it did when her husband
knocked nails in the wall.

But regarding coal, well it's a dead certainty that we
poor folk who buy in small lots have to take what the
magnates call coal, irrespective of how many B. T. U's
it is capable of putting forth. Unlike the grower before
mentioned, we can't all put up our backs. He ordered
1000 tons, and when the first truck came in, the boilers
gave it a try-out.

In quick time, the firemen found that steam pressure
was impossible with such coal and. without further ado.
a sample was run to the city analyst. That coal yielded
45 per cent ash after burning, which explained why it
refused to hold up steam. On the strength of this re-
port, the acceptance of the remainder was refused, and
presumably knowing it was "bum" the merchants offered
it for nothing, but it was refused even as a gift.

Such coal as this is dear, even as a gift, because of
the labor it entails and its lack of heating units.

Many a poor "homebird'' this Winter is wondering
what the "dickens"' is the matter with his furnace, that
it does little in the way of producing heat but a lot in
the shape of dust. As I said before there's coal and
coal, and what some of us are getting is not coal. No
sir! not by a long way. W.

A Forestry Hall of Fame

Is it generally known that many of our great men
are having trees nominated for them in the Forestry
Hall of Fame? In celebration of the birthday anniver-
sary of Daniel Webster, the tree on which he as a
youth hung his scythe when deciding to go to Dart-
mouth College, has received a place in the Hall of Fame
for trees with a history.

The Wesley Oak will be found on the island of St.
Simon, off the coast of Georgia. Here Charles and
John Wesley preached their first sermons on this con-
tinent beneath the Wesley Oak, which is still standing.
This Oak has been nominated for a place in the Hall of
Fame.

A great grandson of Dr. Samuel Johnson, the first
president, in 1754, of King's College, now Columbia
University, New York, once owned the land on which a
tree is situated in Connecticut, which is said to be about
500 years old.

The Bur Oak, nominated for the Hall of Fame, was
150 years old when the Lewis and Clarke expedition
camped beneath the Council Oak at Sioux City, Iowa.

Soil from every State in the Union and from each
of the allied countries has been placed about the roots
of a Maple tree planted by the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution at Arkadelphia, Ark., as a memorial to
the men who answered their country's call in the World
War.

What Would Be a Fair Price for This Wreath?

On Dec. 11, page 1247, we illustrated a red immor-
telle standing wreath with pedestal, as designed by Rob-
ert L. Graham of Baltimore.

Reference to that issue will show that the total cost
of this wreath, including actual time spent on it,
amounted to $24.10.

With a view to obtaining the opinions of others, our
Baltimore representative propounded the above query.
The following two letters are fairly in accord with each
other; proof that the writers figure on a regular and
even basis when estimating.

From Bertermann Bros. Co., Indianapolis

Robert Halliday certainly put forth a good idea when
he suggested computing the cost of made-up work.
This is undoubtedly one of the weakest elements in the
retail flower industry. It is strange that so many men
never stop to compute the cost of made-up work. There
is. throughout the whole trade, a laxity when it comes
to permit employees to compute the value of commodi-
ties. If the banking account were handled in the same
manner as the work behind the counter, there would
certainly never be a large surplus on hand.

According to Mr. Halliday's own computation of
$24.10, this wreath should sell in our shops for $50 to
$55 and, if the average that has been given us by a com-
mittee is made good, it should bring $75. As a luatter
of fact, however, we know that this wreath or its equiva-
lent, is often put forward at prices ranging from $30 to
$45. This small margin of course is not the advance
nece.-^sarv, and is midway between failure and success.
Any system which enables the shop owner to more
closely compute the value of made-up work and thereby
enable us to derive the proper profits, is of eminent
value to us all.

Frojcn The Knoble Bros. Co., Cleveland, O.

Regarding the wreath illustrated and the query re-
specting it. we would say that price should have .some
bearing on the looks of the finished article. The mini-
mum price we would dare charge for this piece would
be $50 and the maximum price $60, leaving it to the
eye to decide as to its value in its finished state. Such
designs cannot be faithfully reproduced by a photo-
graph.

However, the minimum price would have to be $50.

The Florists' Exchange

President Charles W. Johnson's Address

It is with the greatest of pleasure that I address 3^ou.
I am extremely proud of the honor conferred on me as
your president to welcome you to this, the thirtieth an-
nual meeting of the American Carnation Societ}'.

We meet at this time in Washington, the National
Capital of our country — the one city above all others
toward which the hope of humanity is now turned. We
are proud of this city and proud of our fellow crafts-
men who labor and make their homes within its bor-
ders. It is a great privilege for the members of our
society to meet again with our coworkers in this sec-
tion of the country. Washington is a city of historic
interest to every citizen of the country and there are
many things here to attract attention and draw the mem-
bers away from the meetings, but we ask that all make
an effort to be present at each session and take an ac-
tive part in the proceedings. We will be punctual in
opening the meetings and endeavor to conduct the busi-
ness as expeditiously as possible.

Retrospection

It will be well if we take a little time to reflect and
turn our thoughts to the good work accomplished by
the American Carnation Society during the years that
have followed since the society's organization. There is
not another trade organization connected with our busi-
ness that is as widely known at home and abroad or
whose members have been more loyal. The annual
meetings of the last four or five years have been held
during times of extreme stress and uncertainty, owing
to war conditions, shortage of coal, and poor transporta-
tion, but even tmder such unfavorable circumstances,
there have been many loyal members willing to sacrifice
time and give their support, so that the societj's annual
meetings and exhibitions could be successfully held. We
are thankful that the extremes of the past few years
are gradually passing away and that we can look to the
future full of hope and confidence.

The Workers of the Past

The men who have been most active in directing the
affairs of the American Carnation Society in the past
and who brought it to its highest success, are numbered
among thfe most successful men in the trade. Some of
these we have with us at this meeting and we are grate-
ful for their presence. Others have retired from the
active duties of business and are not able to be with
us ; we honor them for their work, well done, for the
benefit of this society and every man who grows Car-
nations.

Eight of our past presidents have passed to the great
be5'ond; let us pause a moment to cherish their mem-
ory.
Looking to the Future

But if the American Carnation Society is to accom-
plish the purpose which the early workers intended
it should, we must not rest on the record on the past
but push on for greater achievements and it is for the
younger men of the trade to be as ambitious as were
their fathers — to take hold of the helm of the societj^
and steer it on to greater success.

Varieties Past and Present

Referring to the Carnations of todaj-, the varieties
now grown, their productiveness, and last, but not least,
the prices obtained for the blooms — are the members
satisfied? The reports of the Christmas holiday season
of 1920 in one instance gave the prices obtained for the
variety Laddie as equal to first-class Roses. But are
the plants of today as productive as were those of
former years? Generally speaking, I do not think they
are. I believe there never was a more opportune time
■for the introduction of varieties possessing the qualities
of good, clear color and productiveness, and I would
suggest that those interested in the raising of new va-
rieties make these qualities the principal aim of their
efforts.

There have been prepared for this meeting, papers
that ought to be of great interest to every member, and
I trust that you will give them your closest attention.
If there is any member who has a question he would
like to bring before the meeting he has that privilege
and it will be given due consideration.

The'.Natioual Flower Show 1922

In the Spring of next year there is to be held at
Cleveland the National Flower Show of the Society of
American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists; in
this show the American Carnation Societj- is to take an
active part. Our secretary is the representative of this
society in the arrangement of the Carnation exhibits of
w-hich we have pledged our support, and, in performing
his duties, it may be necessarj' that he go to Cleveland
to attend to the preliminarj' work connected with the
show. If so, I would recommend that he be given the
same mileage as that allowed the president when at-
tending the directors' meeting of the S. A. F. and O. H.

Thanks Tendered

Two new judges will be elected at this meeting. These
are important offices and the men so selected should
have the confidence of the members of the society.

I wish to extend my thanks to the secretary for his
conscientious work during the past year and to the local
committee for their arrangements of the details for
this meeting.

Secretary A. F. J. Baur's Report

The Past Year and Suggestions

Our society has had a ver)- good year, just ended.
With a profitable market for their product, our mem-
bers have prospered and, naturally, our society has felt
the stimulus in various ways. Our meeting in Chicago
last Januarj^ was really a surprise in point of attendance,
but the abnormally high prices prevailing at the times
prevented a satisfactory entry in the exhibition. This
year, market conditions are more nearly normal and the
exhibit should be more complete, .\ttention should be
called to the Texas Special Prize class. Last year, ex-
hibits from Maine and from Colorado met at Chicago
and competed for this prize. The offer being repeated
this year, we have entries coming from as far as Colo-
rado to Washington to compete. This probably is a
record distance for shipping Carnation blooms. The
premiums in sections A and B have been raised again,
and it is to be hoped that the society's funds will permit
of them being kept up to where they now are. We
recommend the addition of a class for 50 assorted
blooms of standard sorts, with not less than six varie-
ties, nor more than ten blooms of one variety, to be
staged in one vase.

Membership

Our membership is now as high as it has ever been
and the delinquents last year were fewer than for many
years. With a view to increasing our membership, we
have this year distributed more than double the usual
number of premium schedules, sending more than 500 to
non-members. The results have as yet not been very
marked, but perseverance in this plan will no doubt
bring results in time. Our membership now stands at
3-t8, thirteen of whom are life members.

Obituary

During the past year, we have lost by death P. O'Mara
who died on May 25, C. W. Ward who died on June 24
and Jacob Schulz, who died on July 21. These three
men were among our oldest members and were known
to most all of you. Mention should also be made of the
passing away of Mrs. Dorner, widow of the late Fred-
erick Dorner, who died on June 25. and Mrs. Nicholson,
wife of our esteemed member, W^m. Nicholson, who
died on July 31. Many of you have enjoyed the hos-
pitality of their homes in years past.

S. A. F. Representatives

We now have 233 members on the S. A. F. and O. H.
roster and President Chas. W. Johnson has been named
as director for the year 1921.

Finance

A resolution was introduced in our meeting last Janu-
arj', to change our by-laws to permit the changing of
the annual dues to suit the exigencies of the times. "This
resolution was printed in the annual report and again
distributed with the premium schedule in December.
Provision must be made for more funds to meet the
expenses of the society which will probably not be much
less for some time to come. We should also not lose
sight of the fact that additional funds will enable the
society to expand its activities and to do some things
which had to go undone for lack of funds. The re-
ceipts of the secretary's office during the past year were :

Three life memberships $130.00

Annual dues 733.00

Advertising 461.00

Miscellaneous 108.25

Total $1452.25

This amount was turned over to the treasurer. The
books of the secretary and the treasurer were audited
by a public accountant and found correct.

Annual Literature and Reciprocation

The annual report was issued and distributed at the
regular time following the annual meeting. The pre-
mium schedule was delayed a few days on account of
delay in the transmitting of copy for the advertising sec-
tion. The advertising rates were ordered increased by
the board of directors and we are pleased to note that
all of our regular advertisers recognized the justice in
the increase, and responded cheerfully, so that this de-
partment will again show its usual profit to the society.
Our members should reciprocate this generous spirit.
Special announcements were printed free of charge by
the trade press, for which our thanks are due.

Registrations

During the past year, there have been offered for
registration six seedling and seven sport varieties. We
desire to impress upon our members the necessity of
submitting blooms of sport varieties for inspection, by

our judges before registration can be completed. We
now have on file a number of such varieties which can-
not be placed on the register for the above reason. Our
system is simple and practical.

National Flower Show

The fifth National Flower Show has been definitely
set for March 23 to April 1, 1922. The special com-
mittee will submit a premium schedule for your ap-
proval. The final drafting of all premium schedules
being under the control of the board of directors, sug-
gestions and recommendations from this meeting will be
in order. We suggest that our members underwrite a
portion of this schedule; due credit to be given each
contributor.

Your board of directors held its usual meetings; one
at Chicago immediately following the annual meeting
and the other in Cleveland in August.

Charles P. Mueller of Wichita, Kan., Gives ■
His Experience in Increasing the Cat of
Carnations for Mother's Day

Some years ago, when the idea of commemorating
Mother's Day by wearing a Carnation was originated
by Miss Jarvis, a great deal of publicity was obtained.
The ladies' clubs, churches, etc., catching the idea, took
it up and followed her lead with the result that the first
year found Wichita (Kan.) very short on the supply
of Carnations, and long on the demand for them. Being
some twentj'-four hours away from any large market
we had to place our order early to get Carnations. We
were unfortunate in receiving the first cut of Carnations
and by the time they reached us the poor things were so
tired that they went to sleep. To all florists, such an
occurrence is decidedly discouraging. I do not blame
the growers for holding their flowers as long as they
possibly can. nor do I blame the commission houses for
disposing of the first cut first. But what of the poor
florists who are 24 to 36 hours away from the market?
■Phey have to take the sleepy Carnations, pay for them,
smile, and try to make the best of a bad matter. Our
second and third years seemed equally bad, if not worse,
for the demand for Carnations had increased.

Seeking Ways and Means

I took up the matter of increasing our own cut with
my Carnation grower and told him that I thought we
could do it. By carefully watching the flowers at the
time of development we came to the conclusion that we
could increase the yield.

How It Is Done

Our method has been that on or about the first of
February we select a bench or two of Carnations which
are beginning to show lots of shoots coming on. By
Feb. 15 the buds begin to show. We remove the lower
two, as these tend to have a rather weak stem. Then
we watch the development of the remaining buds. If
the terminal bud is developing rapidly we leave it on as
it holds the next bud back somewhat. When the ter-
minal bud has opened, we take it off and use it in design
work. If the terminal bud is not developing rapidlj', we
remove it and leave the other three or fotu- good strong
buds to develop. The buds must be watched carefully
from now on so as to bring the crop at the proper time.
Should the buds come a little slow, we put more heat
under the bench (we grow all our Carnations on raised
benches) and open up the ventilators. If they seem to
be coming a little too fast we cut off the steam entirely
and lower the temperature in the house by giving plenty
of air. In this way we can hasten the flowers a week
to ten days, or we can hold them back. By treating
them in this manner the flowers all develop at the same
time.
Four to Six on a Stem

I have had as many as six perfect flowers on one
stem. Care should be taken in feeding, as the plants
require more nourishment when several flowers are
grown on one stem.

To be sure, the same treatment will not apply through-
out the United States and must be modified to suit local
requirements. In the first place, we must consider the
weather. Out here in Kansas we have from twelve to
twenty days of sunshine a month during the Winter
which causes the flowers to develop more quickly and
stronger than where there is a lot of cloudy weather
and artificial heat must be depended upon. It took us
nearly five years before we got a hold of the right
flowering stem, and learned how to handle the tempera-
ture in the houses so that we could depend on a big
crop. It is true that once in awhile, we miss it by two
or three days, but that is due to sudden, unexpected
changes in the weather.

Lower Priced Blooms

Instead of raising prices on Carnations for Moth-
er's Day we are able to lower the prices for individual

fluwers, iH'causc \vc gruw four to six perfect fluvvers on
a stalk. We .sell them for $2 per iloz. ; if we disbudded
we would have had to get at least $-1 per doz.. and I
have heard that some florists charge as high as $5. We
increase the number of flowers on the stalk and sell the
stalks for GOc. or TJc. each. You will readily see that
much more money may be realized by this method than
when disbudding is practiced, and only 35c. to 50c. a
.stalk is received. This does much to eliminate the
"profiteering" charges which were so prevalent last
May. Our customers seem to be well satisfied with
three and four flowers to a stalk and. to my notion,
such flowers have a much nicer appearance in a vase.
If they are to be worn individually, the stems must be
cut off any way.

The Varieties Grown

I have found the best varieties to grow in this man-
ner are Matchless, white, and Belle Washburn, red.
We used to grow Prosperity, which really did better
than Matchless for this purpose. Belle Washburn gives
good results as it is naturally a late bloomer and its
full crop comes in just about right for Mother's Day.
We have never tried any pink Carnations, but this year
1 think w-e shall try a few plants of Gloriosa, and see
what results we have with them, although few Gloriosa
are grown in our part of the country today.

Tlie Product of One Bench

I am sorry that it is not possible for me to be present
in person at this meeting, and take part in the discus-
sion. I realize that it would not be feasible to duplicate
my method of treatment of Carnations for the Mother's
Day trade in all parts of the United States, but I do
believe that my theory is sound and I know that I have
gotten results. On the benches treated, I have increased
the cut from three to four hundred times normal, and
I think that all will agree that that amounts to a con-
sideration at Mother's Day. On one bench 150ft.x5ft.,
holding one thousand plants, I cut 10,000 flowers for
Mother's Day last year.

I will be very glad to answer any inquiries you may
wish to send me.

W. D. Howard, Miiford, Mass., Explains His
Improved Method of Soil Sterilization

A new subject is attracting the florist's attention
today; the subject of soil sterilization. The principal
points to be brought out are its beneficial results and its
labor and money-saving advantages. We have tried
planting Carnations in the same soil, three or four times
in succession, and we are well pleased with the results.
In some instances, the soil has not been changed in the
bench for as long as four years, being left in the benches
and sterilized right there by means of a simple and in-
expensive apparatus; the method employed does not
require much labor or time.

Have the Soil Right

First of all, the soil must be in the right condition,
which would be about the same moisture as one would
like to plant in. This means, have it in a good mellow
condition clear through to the bottom of the bench.
We use four galvanized iron pans which are 12ft. long.
Sin. deep, and 2in. narrower than the width of the
bench; these pans also have two strap-iron handles on
each side, for carrying purposes when hot. You can
have your pans any size suitable for any number of
shifts which will cover the length of the house and not
leave any space unsterilized. The pans are set over the
bench, bottom side up, and connected by tmions.
Through the center of each pan runs a IJ^in. pipe with
holes drilled 1ft. apart, right through the pipe, hori-
zontal to the pipe, so the stream will flow freely into the
soil.

Does 50 Feet at One Time

The steam is taken from one of the main pipes into
the second union, thus having two pans on each side of
the intake, which allows good dry steam to go 25ft. each
way. In this way the steam will be even all the way
through the four pans. After the pans are connected,
we take some soil and bank it around between the pans
and the bench so the steam will not escape from the
sides. Steam is turned on and five pounds is registered
on the steam gauge. Less than five gives too much
moisture for the soil, and more than five is liable to
bake the soil. The main thing is to have good dry
steam work its way through the soil and come out
around the bottom of the bench. This usually takes
about one-half hour. Thus all injurious germs, insects,
etc., are destroyed, yet certain organisms needed for the
proper growth of the plants are not injured.

Need for Stirring the SoU Afterward

After the soil is steamed, it should be worked up as
soon as possible so that in case of a little too much

moisture, the fresh air will keep it sweet and friable.
The soil is thus kept from becoming water-logged or
burned, as is often the case when soil is steamed in a
large quantity inside a cement or similar tank, and
where continued heating is necessary, thereby destroying
the texture and, at the same time, killing the micro-
organisms which are so necessary for the development
of plant life.

Preserve the Useful Organisms

Although these beneficial organisms will stand more
heat than will the spores of fungi or various bacteria in
any stage of development, these beneficial organisms
will also be destroyed if the heat is too great or is kept
up too long. Meanwhile, four men have got 50ft. more
of soil worked up into a good loose condition ready
to shift the pans. In this way no time is lost save in
the actual time it takes to shift the pans. After the soil
is sterilized it is treated as new soil and the needed
fertilizers added to it.

Treat Afterward Like New Soil

We have found by actual experience that while steril-
ized soil is not as good as new, it is a great improve-
ment over the old, as we have proven it by using new
soil, sterilized old soil and oil soil not sterilized, in the
same bed, side by side.

The actual cost is about one-half of that of changing
the soil.

Fifty years ago our forefathers placed great reliance
on the use of herbs for all manner of diseases, and such
plants as Verveine, Dock, Hellebore, Hepatica, and
scores of others, were freely used. At that time, the
doctors and the people alike all had a firm belief in the
efficacy of herbs as medicine. Biologists in recent years,
because herbs contain no active alkaloid, such as mor-
phine, claimed they were devoid of real curative value
and, as a result, a great majority of them have practi-
cally vanished from the modem pharmacopoeia.

Professor Bourquelot has, by an elaborate series of
experiments,^ managed to isolate a non-alkaloid active
principle which he calls "glucoside" in more than twenty
plants. His experiments go to show that physicians
were too hasty in deciding that these herbs were use-
less in medical treatment. The future may see a return
to the old system of simples and decoctions, but with
these scientifically prepared and graded

ferent firms on their own grounds. In this connection
knowledge in tasty landscape gardening may be readily
imparteci to the prospective purchaser. Conspicuous
labels with both common and botanical names will help
familiarize the worker on the place as well as others
with whom the nurseryman has to deal, besides it will
prevent the waste of much valuable time in going
around making selections.

I notice with satisfaction that practical instruction
m gardening, especially in the growing of hardy trees
and shrubs (including perennials) is receiving more
attention. It also pleases us to hear that the I'^ederal
Board lor Vocational Training is assisting convalescent
soldiers and others who desire the course, in fitting
themselves for this profession. This course should in
time supply the growing demand for trained men.

To make farmsteads more attractive is another fea-
ture that is receiving more attention. The busy farmer
does not, of course, care for a formal garden and
trimmed hedges, but he wants a plain and sensible orna-
mental setting consisting of some larger growing trees
and evergreens for shade and as a windbreak. He may
plant hedges that do not require any trimming such
as Hemlock, Siberian and American Arbor Vitffis, Jap-
anese Barberry, Spiraja Vanhoutii, Mock Orange, Tar-
tarian Honeysuckle and Rosa Rugosa. Lilacs are also
desirable for hedges, provided they are sprayed
against the ever recurring scale that effects this plant.

The temporary Winter decoration of the public parks
with evergreen branches and trees has been attempted
by a few cities with great success. The public travers-
ing such places by the thousands each day approves of
it. In sections where there is plenty of evergreen ma-
terial close at hand, the starkness of Winter may
readily be eliminated and the beauty of a city square
park enhanced in this way.

General^^Problems of the Nursery Trade

In reference to governmental restriction on the im-
portation of certain foreign nursery stock, it is of vital
importance for all of us to back up the entomologists
and pathologists to safeguard the crops of farm, forest
and nursery. Certam restrictive legislation to which I
have previously referred may readily be eliminated es-
pecially when it is found that this step will help the
nurseryman and grower without increasing the danger
of introducing more foreign insect pests.

Aboretums are a great aid to nurserymen. State and
government arboretums and testing grounds are too few
and far between in this country.

Not nearly enough seedlings are raised, especially of
such things as Firs, Spruces, Pines and the native broad
leaf Rhododendron; all of these come true from seeds.
At the Arnold Arboretum there are to be seen many
varieties from 8 to 12 years old and from 5ft. to 20ft
liigh that were grown from seeds and which at half
their age were salable plants.

I cannot refrain from mentioning that it is reaUy most
profitable and interesting to discuss such important
matters as a National Service Bureau of real value to
nurserymen and users of nursery products and a Cham-
ber of Horticulture composed of able and representa-
tive men. The National Nurseryman has emphasized
the necessity of an apprentice system suited to our
American conditions for the framing and developing of
young men in this profession.

As to plant quarantine and insect pests of which
there has been so much said and written, I must say
that the article by P. Guerkerk of New Jersey in The
Floiusts' Exchange furnishes much thought and good
advice, and so does the article in the same paper by
Henry W. Kruckeburg on the California nurserymen's
endorsement of Quarantine No. 37.

In conclusion I wish to compliment this organiza/-
fion on its splendid work in disseminating knowledge in
arboriculture, general horticulture and forestry. The
great patriotic services rendered and the sacrifices made
through the most trying times in its history cannot be
overestimated.

Careful nomenclature has been adhered to by our
nurserymen. 'The splendidly gotten up and instructive
catalogs have done much to educate the public, both in
selectmg and along practical growing lines.

The Florists' Exchange

A Horticultural Survey

(Concluded from page 231)
of plant life, founded this society and within its home exhibited
the best they had.

How many visitors to these exhibits realized that every one
of these scores of genera and hundreds of species of plants came
from without the borders of this country and that not one was
native to the United States ? That all of these plants were
imported into this country — every one foreign, that is, exotic ?

Owing to the rocky nature of its surface, Massashusetts has
but little real agriculture and this is necessarily becoming each
year more intensive. But a large part of this surface is won-
derfully adapted to horticulture and this, too, should become
more intensive. Shall this be done only with our native plants
without exotics ? Shall we ignore the inspiration of our past ?
— the traditions of this society ? Shall we be content with
the mediocre ? Shall our exhibitions contain only average
plants and plant products? Or shall we do the best we can
to carry out the purpose of this society, improve horticulture
and aid in beaut5ying the Commonwealth in which we live ?

Few people in this country appreciate the fact that a very
large part of the fruits, flowers and plants which we most
admire and use, and which form so large a part of our hves,
come from without this vast and varied territory of the United
States, extending from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from
semi-tropical Mexico to chilly Canada. This coimtry is so
immense compared with most other civilized countries, and
its flora so rich, varied and beautiful, that we are apt to ignore
and forget how much we owe to other countries.

For example, few of us realize that Wheat, Barley, Oats,
Rye, Potatoes, Peas, Onions, Turnips, Tomatoes, Carrots,
Cucumbers and Celery are not native to this country.

We all know that Pineapples, Oranges, Lemons, Bananas,
Figs and Dates are not native to the United States, but not
many bear in mind that such common fruits as Apples, Cher-
ries, Peaches, Pears, Plums, Apricots, Quinces, Currants,
Raspberries, are not native, but originally came wholly from
abroad.

Nor do many realize that garden Roses, Carnations, Sweet
Peas, Tulips, Narcissi, Mignonette, Snowdrops, Dahlias,
Begonias and many other plants were brought here from other
countries. Many of our best known shrubs and trees, and
many of our so-called wildflowers are really foreign. . . .

Many consider this society an aggregation only of scientists
and specialists. This is not so. Most of us are amateurs,
many are cultivators, and some are artists in arranging Nature's
plants in artistic groups, but we all have one trait in common —
our love for the beautiful. We are all lovers, true lovers of
the beautiful in form and color; and in this we recognize no
nationality, no artificial boundary, no political demarcation.
We believe we have an indefeasible right to secure the finest
natural products of the whole world, provided our use of them
injures no one.

We believe the United States Government should protect,
so far as it can, the agricultinre and horticultiire of this country
against the introduction of injurious foreign insects and plant
diseases, and we favor a reasonable quarantine for this pur-
pose. But we protest against total embargoes and regulations
which are, in effect though not in terms, embargoes, and which
unnecessarily impede the progress of horticulture in this
country. Quarantine 37 provides that certain plants may
be imported only under a license from the Federal Horticul-
turaX Board and requires such plants, before deHvery to the
owner, to be sent to Washington for inspection and treatment.
This makes it difficult, on account of excessive and unnec-

essary cost and injury to the plants, to import such plants.
If this quarantine is allowed to stand as at present, compara-
tively few new or rare plants will in future be imported into
this country. Oxir society is earnestly engaged in the move-
ment to secure alterations to these arbitrary and drastic regu-
lations and we expect this year to make substantial progress
in this direction.

This society was formed with a lofty purpose: to aid horti-
culture by active and constructive work. Its founders were
men of refinement who loved natiual beauty and who wanted
for their homes the best that could be obtained and who were
willing to give to their friends and the community in which
they lived the benefit of their knowledge, experience and
acquisitions; the history of the society shows that it has never
lost sight of the aims of its founders. This inheritance has
come down from one generation to another until the society
has acquired a unique reputation in the horticultural world.
With its splendid equipment of money, building, library,
personnel and reputation, it is rich, strong and capable and,
in the future it can do even better creati^'e work that it has
done in the past.

We cannot make beautiful plants, but we can help nature
to make plants beautiful. We are neither painters nor mod-
elers, but we are all cultivators and we can give plants, flowers
and trees the space, light, heat, water, food and care which
wiU make them grow better and fairer than they woxild if left
alone to nature. This has been demonstrated again and
again with plants under cultivation, and horticulture — the
ciiltivation of the garden — is but another name for progress
and improvement in plant life.

To seciue the best results it is not enough to do what we
can do easily. We must do many things which can be done
only with difficulty. To progress we must, from time to time,
secure new species and varieties from which to hybridize and
make new creations. We must select, and select the best,
not only of this coimtry but of the entire world. We must
secmre not only species and natural hybrids but also artificial
hybrids, and this regardless of whether they come from Mad-
agascar, England, Belgium, Siberia, or elsewhere. We must
mate not only similar vnth similar, species with species, but
genera with genera.

This society, old to us, is yet young so far as Massachusetts
is concerned, whether considered in relation to the past or to
the future; Massachusetts can live without the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, as it did for more than two hundred
years prior to 1829, when the society was organized. But
Massachusetts can live better with the society than without
it, and it must be our work to improve and to pass on om-
heritage to the generations yet to come, for which they will
thank us as we thank our ancestry for what they have passed
to us. . . .

When our forefathers came here three himdred years ago
they brought with them many plants and fruits which they
had loved in their native country. Two hundred years fter-
ward people began to talk of estabUshing a horticultmal society,
because the need for organized concerted action was evident
and pressing.

If, in 1820, oiu- forefathers thought that in this country
with its virgin fields and forests and their own limited funds
and transportation facilities, it was necessary continually to
procxue exotic plants, what shall be said of us of the present,
now become the wealthiest and greatest of all civilized coun-
tries, the creditor nation of the world, the Mecca of all emi-
grants ? Shall it be said we are heedless of the morrow —
that we have no thought of the future or of our obhgations
to the millions of people we allow to come here ?

We are all curious to see the unusual, especially from foreign

lands and strange places, and that is why so many thousands
go annually to the Sequoia or Redwood trees of California,
the greatest of all plant growth. They wish to see these great
and wonderful products of natiue which can be seen nowhere
else. And that is why people show so much interest in the
Ginkgo tree, the oldest existing tj-pe of tree which alone comes
down to us from the dim geologic past, because it is the exotic
of exotics, since — although from the fossil rocks we know it
grew in the Triassic geologic period — no one knows where it
grows wild today.

Why is it that there are already over a hundred miUion
people in this country, with a practical certainty that before
many decades this niunber will be doubled ? The answer is
that people come here from other countries, young and old,
because they beheve they can be happier here and, on account
of what nature has done for us and what we have, secure more
for themselves than they could elsewhere. How are we going
to take care of these people, to satisfy them, to provide for
their higher wants? Will our civilization advance if we
simply give them their acres of ground or their crowded ten-
ements in which to five and work ? Will it be sufficient if
we build schools, hbraries, moving-picture theaters, hospitals?
Is there not one thing which this society can do which will be
of great value ? Can we not help surround them with the
beautiful works of nature as well as the beautiful handiworks
of man ? Can we not, perhaps, do as much for them in this
way as in any other ?

Is it enough to take, if we can, our ahen immigrants to our
libraries and ask them to look at the pictures and descriptions
of rare and beautiful exotic plants ? Is it enough to send
them a cut flower when they are ill in hospitals ? Is it not
better to show them the flowering plants in oiu* exhibitions
and in our gardens ?

Which makes for the greater refinement of the human
being; the brick walls of apartment houses and hospitals, or
beautiful grounds like our Common, our Public Gardens and
our suburban estates ? These foreigners come very largely
from the crowded and impoverished countries of Europe.
What will make them more content with their lot and better
citizens? Will it not be the building of cleaner and better
houses with attractive, natural surroundings of space, grass,
flowers, shrubs and trees — real, permanent homes?

This is the way to decrease Bolshevism. This is the way
to increase Americanism.

We have in om* midst the Arnold Arboretum, which, due
almost wholly to the devotion and direction of our beloved
and revered associate. Prof. Charles S. Sargent, stands out
pre-eminent as one of the greatest horticultural institutions
of the world and which has become the "Happy Hunting
Grounds" of all horticulturists, both within and without the
country. This great collection of trees has now become
priceless and the work it is doing in the distribution of its
plants is of inestimable value to the whole coimtry.

This society cannot equal or duplicate this work, but it
can do much to help beneficiate these treasures and to beautify
the homes of this Commonwealth. Our task this year is to
formulate definite plans for this and to begin to carry them for-
ward. As individuals we can do much in our different ways,
but together, in a society of this sort, we can do a hundred-fold
more; this society is a corporate body and, if it lawfully
conducts its affairs, may hve on forever.

Therefore my appeal to you is that we now determine and
hereafter provide that this country shall secure and grow every
known, useful, rare and beautiful exotic plant which wiU add
to the comfort, happiness and refinement of the people, so
that there shall be here with us now and, with our posterity
hereafter, not only the survival of the fittest but the improve-
ment of the best.

New Park Superintendent of Baltimore

Chas. R. Jones, former chief of the Druid Hill dis-
trict, has been appointed superintendent of parks and
placed in charge of the entire park system uf Baltimnre
city. The well deserved and popular promotion was
made public on Nov. 19, when the Park Board, of which
J. Cookman Boyd is president, sent in its annual budget
to the city fathers.

The position of general superintendent of park was
abolished some years ago by the board, but through the
splendid efforts of the president this office has been re-
vived with an able man at its head. Charlie Jones, as
he is affectionately known to thousands of Baltimoreans,
both young and old, has been connected with the local
park system nearly 25 years. Entering the city's serv-
ice as gardener, he has worked his way step by step
to his present position as directing manager of one of
the longest chains of municipal park systems on the
Eastern seaboard. It's a man's job, with 3408 acres and
over 400 employees under his personal supervision, and
a grateful but critical public to cater to.

Aside from Mr. Jones's genial personality and his
thorough training in park management, his even balance,
judgment, courage and friendliness, have commanded the
respect and admiration of the department and the thou-
sands of citizens, who knew him as superintendent of
Druid Hill Park — a friend of their children and their
children's children.

Reminiscent along the lines of past performances, but
apropos of Mr. Jones's splendid ability as an executive,
comes to mind a well executed bit of work accom-
plished in 1918 in connection with the Odd Fellow's
Convention in September of that year. Mr. Jones was
asked if he could more from Druid Hill Park, a grow-
ing Alternanthera design bed, emblematic of the Order,
to the plaza in front of the new court house, in the
center of the city, and still have the bed in shape and
a credit to the city's visitors. There wasn't a florist or
gardener about town but thought it was an impossible
task, one that could not be done.

The space was 100ft. x50ft. After removing the

wooden blocks, a curbing was placed and 13in. of soil
put down; 11,000 Alternanthera and other soft-wooded
bedding plants were moved and placed in exact position,
together with four corner beds of Crotons, sod laid and
rolled, without the wilting of a single plant or the turn-
ing of a bit of foliage. The work was accomplished in
six days. Upon being asked how he turned the trick,
his reply was : "Oh ! it put ray men on their mettle be-
cause everybody said we couldn't do it."

Some time ago, the department wanted 98 ornamental
trees planted along a certain new avenue; the order was
given to dig holes and plant — the trees were in position
before nightfall the same day. A phone call next morn-
ing, saying the city engineers department had changed
its mind and the sidewalks must not be torn up until
later on. President Boyd's only comment was short and
to the point :

"You had better have your plans correctly mapped out
before giving Charlie Jones an order; if you don't, he
will have the work finished before you can change your
mind.''

Mr. Jones is a member of the American Association
of Park Superintendents, Masonic and many other fra-
ternal organizations. R. H.

Selection for Improving Native
Rhododendrons

In our report, Jan. 22, of the New Jersey Nursery-
men's Association meeting an error in transcription
made P. M. Koster to say it would take 50 years to
bring about improvement on the lines suggested by Dr.
Cook.

Mr. Koster's expressed opinion, however, was that it
would take at least 20 years before anything could be
accomplished.

"What is celebrity?" and answered it by declaring it to be
"the advantage of being known to people who don't know '
you."

The Florists' Exchange

Knoxville, Tenn.

On behalf of the Knoxville Floriats
Society, R. E, Mapes, A. H. Dailey. G.
W. Ohesncy, committee on resolutions,
have drawn up the following touching:
resolution in relation to the death of
Chas. W. Crouch, which took place
Jan, 8 ;

"Whereas. It hath pleased Almighty
God in His kind providence to call to Him-
self one whose life was an example of all
kindly and good acts, whose aim was to
add to the life of others that which was
good and beautiful, whose very profes-
sions bespoke of those things which ajo-
pealed to the most noble senses of his
fellow creatures and whose goings out
were a source of inspiration and help-
fulness to all who came in contact with
him ; and while we would not murmur
or complain against this dispensation,
yet nevertheless, his departure has left a
vacancy in the ranks of our society which
mere words fail to express. Therefore,
be it

"Resolved, That the Knoxville Flo-
rists Society extend to the wife and family
of the late Chas. W. Grouch its sincere
sympathy in this dark hour of trial and
sorrow — assuring them that we Lave lost
not only a valued member and business
associate, but each a personal and loyal
friend. And while we mingle our tears
with theirs, and in the future would long
for the touch of a vanished band or the
sound of a voice now still, we can rejoice
that the Heavenly Father has called him
to receive the reward of his life's work,
and taken him to liis eternal resting place
after a long and useful life." — Southro.

Louisville Ky.

January 24. — The past week has been
a quiet one socially and mild weather re-
sulting in but little illness has created no
demand from the infirmaries. Funeral
work has, however, been very fair as a
whole. Demand for flowers, while not
rushing, has been as good as could be ex-
pected. Bright mild weather is resulting
in Roses and other stock being in excel-
lent shape, and with fair weather from
now until Easter the best flowers of the
year should be procurable.

Mild AVeather Favors Spring Crops

The mild weather of this Winter,
which has almost set a record in high
temperatures, zero not having been
touched, has meant a big saving in coal
bills for florists. However, most of the
florists have had coal on hand that was
bought on high markets, whereas today
screenings are quoted as low as $1.40 at
the mine for Western Kentucky, and
$1.60 for Eastern Kentucky. Mine run
coal is being quoted at from $2.25 to
$2.75 or $3 in carlots at mines, and good
lump coal is now being quoted at around
$4.50 to $5 a ton at the mines.

George Schulz of the Jacob Schulz Co.
reports a very fair volume of business,
with good prospects for Spring trade.
Mr. Schulz said : "The wealthy people
who were our former big customers sort
of slowed up in buying Roses and other
flowers on the high markets, but now that
prices are a little weaker they are com-
ing back again. During the big business
period of the past two years the volume
of business came largely from people who
previously had not been flower buyers,
and who, therefore, didn't notice, or at
least didn't mind, the difference in price."

Miss Nellie Able of G. B. Thompson &
Co., florists, reports that business had
been very good at that shop, and that
there is no cause for complaint on any
score.

J. S. Miller, head of the firm of Mar-
ret & Miller, has about completed his
new shop, which is one of the most at-
tractive suburban establishments in the
city.

A permit has been issued to Adam
Heitz, 1166 Barrett ave., to add another
greenhouse to his establishment at that
point.

Fred Haupt, Jr., who is with his father
in the florist business on Jefferson st.,
was certainly lucky in a recent auto acci-
dent in which his car went off the road
and knocked down a telephone post. The
machine was, nevertheless, able to come
on into town under its own power, while
none of the occupants was injured.

'*The Florist Shop," one of the Har-
vard "Workshop" plays, which has be-
come a big favorite with amateur theat-

rical companies, was put on by the Y.
M. H. A. of Louisville on January 25.

The Agricultural Department of the
University of Kentucky at Lexington baa
arranged for meetings of farmers on
Feb. 1 to 4 — the Kentucky Horticul-
tural Society to meet all day Wednes-
day. Several speakers will be heard,

W. H. Englehart of the Idlewild
Greenhouses and president of the Ten-
nessee State Florists Association, left
Friday to attend the directors' meeting
of the S. A. F. and O. H., to be held at
Washington, D. C, Jan. 27 and 28. Mrs.
Englehart accompanies Mr. Englehart and
both will go to New York where Mr,
Englehart will spend several days in the
flower_ shops searching for new ideas in
designing and retail management.

Mr. Englehart reports a splendid busi-
ness during the past two weeks. Idle-

A Soil Sterilizer Any Florist Can Make

Detail Directions and Dimensions for the Efficient Apparatus Described
in EXCHANGE of Dec. 25th

In my article published on page 1343
of the Dec. 25 ExcHANQE I described the
metliod employed by a vegetable grower
near Boston in sterilizing his soil and
obviating the need of constantly renew-
ing it, and also reported on the success
thereof. I am now able to supply a
rough sketch or plan of the apparatus
and the specific dimensions of the parts.
By intimating just how big a frame he
can use in his beds or benches, and order-
ing from any plumbing supply house the
correct number of pieces of pipe, tees
and elbows, any florist can make up
the device with no tools but a couple of
pipe wrenches and some white or red
lead to insure tight joints.

The cover or pan will also have to
be ordered from an iron worker as it
should be well, heavily and tightly made.

As will be seen from the sketch, the
frame is made of pieces of 1 y^ in. pipe
connected at the corners and sides by
1 'A in. elbows and tees. The pins are of
lin. pipe and screw into lin.sl^iin. tees
which connect the pipe sections of the
cross arms. The free end of each pin is

fitted with a screwed on pointed plug,
and the pins have %in. or 3-16in. holes
spaced around thera, the number depend-
ing upon the length of the pin, but aver-
aging 10 or 12.

The apparatus described consists of
five or SIX bars which, like the ping on
tliem, are spaced about 9in. apart. This
gives a frame just wide enough to cover
the bed leaving room at either side for
the metal box.

The latter is of galvanized iron, about
Sin. high and has on the narrow sides
handles by which it can be lifted and
moved about. Iron hooks are used so
long as the box is hot.

To repeat a few details of operation,
the steam, when first turned on, should
be at about 50 pounds pressure. It is
given 20 minutes in which to do its work,
then it is shut off while the apparatus
is moved along the bed. At the end of
this time the temperature of the soil
should be 220 deg. to 250. deg. F. After a
bed has been steamed, the soil must be
given a chance to dry out until in a
suitable condition to be worked. Q. Th.

opening of the new store in the local
newspapers. The opening to the public
was on January IS^all day Saturday the
new store of fairy green and lavender
was thronged with visitors. Nearly six
thousand people were greeted with a
flower token. Both Miss Harris and Mrs.
Irby were surprised and delighted with
the signal success that came to thera.
"Business immediately took a spurt and
has not let up since," states Miss Har-
ris. '*We believe a beautiful store is a
real asset in flower selling and while we
had some misapprehension about making
the outlay for a new store at this time,
we are confident that we have made no
mistake. The improvement of sales has
justified our move."

The new store is located in the new
Palace Theatre building, which is just off
Main st., but any disadvantage of loca-
tion is being overcome by local advertis-
ing of a unique kind.

"Business is better every day," says
Cleve W. Johnson of Johnson's Green-
houses. "We have completely recovered
from the fire which occurred next door on
Christmas Eve and caused us some
trouble in the cellar through flooding."

Tom Joy of the Joy Floral Co. ot
Nashville was a visitor in Memphis on

The "Wliolesale Market

The general tone of the market this
week is much more satisfactory than last;
stock is more plentiful, with good demand.
Koses are malting up for lost time, al-
though not in heavy supply; fancy grade
flowers bring 30c. Carnations are increas-
ing every day in supply. The very top
price for fancy is 12c.; many sold from
8c. to 10c.

Single Violets show a good supply, but
the demand is weak — $1.50 per 100 for
the best. Double Violets are also of fine
quality, but there is slow call for them.
Sweet Peas are fine and make a good
showing in orchid t3T)es, the top grades
bringing $3.

Easter Lilies are easing off a bit — just
between seasons. Cold storage Gigante-
urns are almost over and the Formosum
type is not quite ready, but there is no
advance in price. Callas are short. Bulb-
ous stock is receiving good support. Hya-
cinths, Dutch Roman White, is quoted at
12^c. per bloom. Narcissus Paperwhite
are over the short price stage; this stock
ranges from 6c. to 8c. Now . Trumpet
major and Golden Spur are fine.

There have been some excellent Calen-
dulas and Mignonette about. Freesia ia
coming strong and is of good quality.
Greens are in active demand. R. H.

Hearing on Tariff on Garden and
Vegetable Seeds

{Continued from page 238)

"Can we not produce as good seed in
this country as abroad?" asked Mr. Ford-
ney.

"In the main, I think that is the case,"
Mr. Vaughan replied. "We pay, for in-
stance, 50c. a pound for Cabbage seed in
the United States when we were growing
it abroad for 20c."

'TTes," continued Mr. Fordney, "and we
paid for sugar last year 30c. a pound when
we had produced it at home for less than
5c."

"The production of garden seeds in the
United States has developed with practi-
cally no protection," declared Mr.
Vaughan, "but the reason for that has
always been that the quality was such as
to raise it above the competition of the
foreign countries.

"All we ask for is that when you fix
the duties on the seeds you take into con-
sideration that under the high tariff laws
it was always a tax on everything that
was imported and afl:"orded no income to
the Government. If you want to increase
the revenues of the Government we sug-
gest that J'ou lower the rates of duty.
As a protective measure, we think the
proposed law will be an embargo."

Mr. Vaughan discussed seed production
with the members of the committee at
considerable length and in conclusion re-
quested that in writing the new tariff law
specific rates of duty be applied instead
of ad valorem rates. E. A. D.

Annual Dinner Morris County
Gardeners and Florists' Society

Aloiristuwii, N. J., Jan. I'J. — Two

Uiings ulonu iivcvent this iiuuuul I'uuc-
liuii from beiii^' tUu bij,'gest ot its kiiitl
in llie Eiist ; lirstly, only u. limited uum-
IttT oil people realize what a great set-to
it really is ; seeoudly, there is no room
or hall suitable for the purpose iu iMor-
ristowu that could aceommodate the
crowd it' the lirsl mentioned reservation
dill not exist. It is u sign of civic
pride that the residents of each und every
state consider their own the best ever; —
niilioual pride or jealousy as may exist
between distinct nations docs not oper-
ate. Pride iu one's own state or home
towu is permissible, aye, even worthy of
encouragement.

That's how the members ot the Morris
County G. & ff. Society feel about it.
They may be scraping up some sort of liv-
ing in New York City, or they may even
spend much of their time traveling
through other states, but down iu their
hearts, they have the notion that New
.Jersey, and particularly their own home-
center is the place. And when they tell
you that Morris County is it, so far as
horticultural development is concerned,
you are inclined to believe it. Through
that section, the D. L. & W. railroad op-
erates and that accounts for a lot. The
directors of that line must have a tender
feeling for gardeners and gardens; it is
evidenced by the distinctive and attractive
depots, so different to some we have seen.

Where there is a semblance of or-
namentation in the way of grass plots,
shrubs and flower beds, there one may
expect to find garden enthusiasts in
plenty. Morris County has them and
thus it came about that some 130 members
and friends gathered at the Mansion
House for the purpose of doing justice to
the big layout provided by Host Sweeny,
and, at the same time, demonstrate their
interest iu the society which has en-
tered upon its 25th year of existence. A
few present were not truly Jerseyites;
they came because they would not miss
the function on any account. Frank H.
Traendly, who served as toastmaster, as
he has done on many occasions before,
openly declared that he would get to
the Morris County Society dinner if he
had to be carried on a stretcher. Another,
a real Jerseyite, evidenced much the
same spirit, for not since Christmas eve
had he been seen in public. A. M. Hen-
shaw, late president of the N. Y. Florists
Club, having sufficiently recovered from
his serious operation, made it Ms business
to be on the spot. Among the crowd,
too, were others well known in and
around New York, including the omnipo-
tent Chas. H. Totty, Eugene Dailledouze,
Wm. Duckham, Wm. Turner, an old timer
who used to know a few things about
'Mums, and whose namesake in that line
is among the leaders, W. G. Badgley, A.
Rugiska, P. Cox, Arthur Herrington, and
others.

The subject of packing has oftentimes
been discussed ; we might say that the
way 130 odd men were stowed away
and the manner in which these 130 odd
in their turn, stowed away the good
things provided, were excellent object les-
sons in that art. It may here be said
that the tables, both round and long, were
beautifully decorated with Sweet Peas,
Carnations in several varieties, Buddleia
asiatica and Freesias, while some fine
samples of pot Primula malacoides were
dotted around.

The meal and the after dinner speeches
were interspersed with music and songs,
all provided by local talent, and incident-
ally members of the society.

H. Dournton, although of the order
*'ponica." and an ancient Briton to boot,
ought to be spending his time on the
boards as a comedian. His home brewed
sonf? on "Home Brew," to the tune of
"Home, Sweet Home," was great, as was
his impersonation of a hybrid between Sa-
lome and a girl from Honolulu and that
of a Bolshevik. .T. Gallagher, as a tenor,
and Messrs. Babbitt and Boniface, were
also distinctly high grade.

Having disposed of everything from
soup to nuts. President Wm. Brown in-
(roauoed Toastmaster Frank H. Traendly.
who, in his dry style, explained that he
was there merely to do as he was told,
which was not to talk himself, but to call

on others to do so. Casting his roving

A. M. HeiisUuw, in giving thanks lor
llie reception accorded him, sUiLeu tuuL
he was proud to say that Ue had luuKcd
upon New jersey as his home for the
past lis years. Although he hud traveled
a great deal, New Jersey, particularly
ihac section, served by the D. h. & W.,
Jiad always served as a magnet.

Wm. Turner spoke on the educational
lalue of horticultural societies, and he
particularly paid tribute to that of Morris
County. He regretted that his own sec-
tion showed no such vitality.

Charles H. Totty, after being subjected
to a continued fire of "So say all of us,"
catcalls and other voices from the boys
sitting at his table, got up and explained
to Toastmaster Traendly that neither
those at his table nor himself were eligi-
ble to be grouped with Mark Twain's In-
nocents. He briefly described some of the
scenes that had come under his notice
in France, and declared that no one
who had not seen these things could ever
imagine them. Dante's Inferno was alle-
gorical, the 100 miles of the battle line
he had viewed were real, and it was to
be remembered that other similar sections
had been held by the French and British
troops. He had centered his attention ou
that part of the line where the Dough-
boys had been, and he declared that could
all present see what he had seen they
would thank God they were Americans.
Assemblyman G. Downs, Chief of Po-
lice Morrison, Senator Thompson, Dr.
Curry, Sam Golding, W. G. Badge-
ley, C. P. Dudley and Wm. C. Duck-
ham, Jr., all more or less briefly re-
sponded to the toastmaster's dem^and,
some saying it with deeds rather than
words.

It all came about through Secretary
Ed. Keagan's talking about the past show
and what they wanted for their next,
their silver jubilee show. Just a cup or
two, as he explained ; he had the promise
of one from Dr. Curry, but maybe they
might get one from their legislators, and
so on and so forth. Much amusement was
created by the "wheedling" of old "Ed."
However, it worked beautifully, for Host
Sweeney and Chief Morrison nearly fell
over each other ; Assemblyman Down
guaranteed a cup. Senator Thompson did
likewise and, it was whispered after they
had gone, that Traendly & Schenck and
E. Dailledouze would also give cups. In-
deed, so thick were the offers that we lost
count, but the total was, we think, ten.

Arthur Herrington, who took the chair
when F. H. Traendly departed at 11 p.m.,
also announced that to help the funds of
the society, the Duckham-Pierson Co. had
refunded all the prizes they won at the
last show and would do likewise in the
future. They also would provide a cup
or cash for the silver jubilee show.

Earlier in the evening Toastmaster
Traendly called upon T. A. Weston of
The Florists' Exchange. T. A. W.
plaintively asked what crime he had com-
mitted that he should be punished ;he,
however, appeared able to stand up
pretty well and after the old timers had
dried their eyes, Toastmaster Traendly
remarked that they had just had the salt
of the evening, they were now entitled to
the pepper, j. H. Pepper, representing
The Florists^ Review, briefly referred to
the pleasure he had derived from past
Morris County G. and F. dinners ; they
were functions he would always fit into
his program.

It was nearing midnight when Arthur
Herrington called for *'Auld Lang Syne"
and one stanza of "America.'*

MncDonald judged the exhibits. President
Noonan presented thc Stumpp & Welter
cup to .James McCarthy ; the cup was
won at the 'Mum show with twelve va-
rieties of vegetables ; and Peter Smith
with the H. h. I*ratt cup he won at the
same show with table decoration.

Thc Society will hold its annual dinner
late in March and President Noonan ap-
pointed Ernest J. Brown, Ernest West-
lake and Thos. Twigg to make the neces-
sary arrangements. James McCarthy
and Joseph Adler were named to flll the
vacancies in the board of directors.

The Tulip Show will be held in May.

St. Louis District N.F.G. A.

FIRST ANNUAL MEETING

Nassau Co. (N. Y.) Hort. Society

Seven petitions for membership were
received at the monthly meeting of this
society Jan. 16. .T. D. Arantshorst of
Jersey and Peter Harrison of Oyster Bay,
N. Y., were elected to active membership.
Charles Parr. John Higton and Hector

As noted in our St. Louis newsletter the
growers of the St. Louis district met at
the Jefferwon' Hotel, St. Louis, Mo., on
Jan. 8.

J. F. Ammann of Edwardsville, III.,
opened the proceedings with a fine ad-
dress on cooperation. He touched the his-
tory of the past and expressed the view
that unless nations cooperate in the fu-
ture, humanity will again pay tlie price
as it paid so dearly during the late war.
He referred to the great benefit resulting
even from local organizations such as flo-
rists' clubs. Organization is not alto-
gether altruistic, he said; it does not mean
you are giving everything and receiving
nothing. He pointed out that organiza-
tion had not only helped the Citrus growers
to irapiove their market, but it had im-
proved their grading. The fruit today is
graded more uniformly than ever before,
because they found in order to sell intelli-
gently they must convince the public of
their intelligence.

He drew comparisons, and explained
that the florist's products are worthy of
similar attention. By enlightening the
public and improving the quality, the de-
mand for their products could be greatly
increased.

He referred to the wonderful Roses of
today which stimulated demand, and con-
cluded his remarks with the expressed
conviction that it is only a question of a
short time until almost every greenhouse
man will be a member of the N, F. G. A.

President AValter Amling, Puna, HI., in
his address touched upon the question of
production costs and also referred to
those growers who labor from, sunrise to
sundown, even calling in the assistance of
their families, without reckoning such on
the expense side.

The sore question of good and bad coal
all charged at one price, was also referred
to. He cited this as an example of waste
which could be overcome by organization.

By pooling their requirements and hav'
ing an inspector on tlie job they might
obviate these wrongs. He mentioned that
he connected up last year with many
houses using large quantities of coal and,
as a result, his coal did not cost him over
$3.25 a ton, and he had all he wanted.
He considered a similar scheme could be
applied to all the commodities they le-
quired.

From Secretary J. J. Beneke's report
it was shown that 38 members comprise
the St. Louis district branch. Treasurer
W, A. Rowe recorded a balance of close
upon ?350. Both reports were adopted.

The next meeting will be held at Spring-
field, in., on April 19.
* * «

The first annual meeting of the St.
Louis District of the N. F. G. A. was
held at the Jefferson Hotel. President
Walter Amling, Pana, 111., was in the
chair and introduced Fred Ammann as
the first speaker of the evening. Mr.
Ammann spoke on organization and the
great work it was doing and would do
when the N. F. G. A. got in full work-
ing order. Then followed the president's
address on the work of the National So-
fiety. The secretary and treasurer read
t:heir reports respectively as did all the
committees. Then came the adjournment
for lunch.

The afternoon session was largely at-
tended by local growers. After a special
meeting of the Executive Committee was
lield, the election of officers took place,
with the fuUowing results : Walter Am-
ling, Paua, 111.; president; N. J. Pilcher,
Kirkwood, Ind., first vice-president;
Henry Blixon, Edwardsville, 111., second
vice-president ; J. J. Beneke, St. Louis,
111., secretary; and W. A. Rowe, Kirk-
wo<id, treasurer.

E. G. Hill of Richmond. Ind., gave an
illustrated lecture on what he observed
of floriculture in England. Slides of
Roses, Carnations and Lavender beds
were shown. The lecture was well re-
ceived by the members. Before adjourn-
ment there was a general discussion for
the good of the association.

Among those attending were: Mr. and
Mrs. A. C. Brown, Springfield, 111. ; Lud-
wig Stapp, Rock Island, 111. ; C. G. De
Never, Olivette, Mo., and J. N. Hem-
breiker, Springfield, 111. J. N. Ross, Cen-
tralia, 111., and J. A. Cole, Peoria, 111,,
were unable to attend and sent their re-
gi'ets. C. W. W.

Trade Good but Stock Sliort

Jan. 22. — Business has been keep-
ing up wonderfully well and the only fly
in the ointment is the scarcity of stock.
The demand for flowers for teas and
weddings is considerable and there have
also been demands for design work.

Carl Grobba is cutting some very
choice Lily of the Valley,

J. J. Higgins reports business good and
stock scarce. Bulb stock is coming in
fairly well, but if there were more it
could all be used.

The People's Florists have been busy,
there being a great demand for funeral
work as well as decoration work for
teas. Stock here, too, however, is scarce.

Tidy & Son have had a great many
decorations for receptions.

Productive Retailers Meeting

President McFadden invited the
officers of the Retail Florists' Club to
meet at his home on Jan. 17. There was
a full attendance and a great deal of im-
portant business was done. Arrange-
ments for the dance to be held on Feb. 7
were completed. Tickets are selling fast
and there will be a big crowd. It looks
as if the Metropolitan Club rooms would
be taxed to their capacity.

Committees were appointed for the
coming F. T. D. convention and all are
active workers so that members may have
no hesitancy in arranging to take in the
convention at Toronto this year. Harry G,
Dillemuth is general chairman and his
helpers who are acting as chairmen of
sub-committees are as follows: Finance,
L. Waters ; Publicity, J. J. Higgins ; Ho-
tel, H. G. Dillemuth ; Entertainment, E.
Simmons ; Reception, J. A. Neal ; Ladies
Reception, Mrs. Waters and Mrs. Moore ;
Trade Exhibit, Harry James, S. A. Mc-
Fadden and H. G. Dillemuth ; Decora-
tion, S. A. Frost.

The headquarters will be the King Ed-
ward Hotel.

H. G. Dillemuth. chairman of the sign
committee, reported that 12 signs have
been sold.

On account of the next regular meet-
ing night falling on Feb. 14 it was de-
cided to hold the gathering on Tuesday,
Feb. 15. This will be a box social, which
has now become an annual affair; a good
time is assured.

Advertising plans for St. Valentine's
Day, Mother's Day and Easter will be
taken in hand at once. The program for
St. Valentine's Day includes the use of
window hangers and other effective mate-
rials. Similar systematic campaigns will
be carried out for the other two occa-
sions and Chairman Geraghty reports that
his Publicity Committee is receiving the
enthusiastic support of both growers and
retailers.

Retailers who have held aloof are find-
ing that the club's activities are helping
trade ; as a result, at the next meeting
many new applications for membership
will be dealt with.

The regular meeting of the Gardeners
and Florists Association was held on .Tan.
17. Alexander Simpson who has been
closely associated with Prof. R. B. Thom-
son in advocating a Botanical Garden,
gave a complete review of the steps
which have been taken so far for its es-
tablishment.

Miller Bros., London ave., are cutting
some very fine Carnations and in about

Supplement to The Florists' Exchangc

a fortnight -will be cutting Roses in
abundance — Ophelia, Butterfly, Rich-
mond, etc. Prices will be about the same
as at present. In a few days there will
be a big bulb crop ready. Thousands of
Lilies for Easter look fine and give prom-
ise of an excellent crop.

Dr. C. A. Zavitz, speaking at the 42d
convention of the Agricultural and Ex-
perimental Union, stated that many va-
rieties of seed were sold because the pur-
chaser was attracted by beautiful illus-
trations and by extravagant advertise-
ments. Although they are sold at com-
paratively bigh prices and it has been
proved that in some cases they are just
old varieties under new names, F. C.
Hart stated that seed growing in On-
tario was only o side line and always
would be.
Hort. Societies are Meeting

The annual meetings of the scores
of horticultural societies throughout the
country are now being held. As a gen-
eral thing these show great growth which
is to be welcomed because these societies
do a great deal to stimulate a love of
flowers among the people. In many cases
professional florists or gardeners are
found among the active members. In
Rt. Thomas, under direction of the local
horticultural society, the parks are to
be extended and trial gardens are to be
started at Pinafore Park, large numbers
of specimens having already been do-
nated by American florists. The twelfth
annual show of the American Gladiolus
Society will be held in St. Thomas in
August.

The Agincourt Society, of which John
Short is secretary, has been instrumental
in having 300 shade trees planted along
the streets of its village. R. L. Hemstreet
is secretary of the Milton Society ; B. O.
Britton of the Gananoque Society, and
Charles Bilbrough of Aurora. The Hast-
ings Club has stimulated or maintained
several flower plots in public places and
H. P. Howard is secretary of the High
Park (Toronto) Socieety.

The Toronto Horticultural Society has
decided to hold four flower shows this
year. James Smith, florist, of Smiths
Falls, has been re-elected secretary of
the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society.
O. B. Whitby is secretary of the Paris
Society, which is endeavoring, by means
of its decorations of the grounds of the
town, to win for it the title of the "Tulip
and Rose Town." — G. C. K.

Montreal, Que.

Notev^ortliy W^eddiug Decorations

One of the most brilliant events in
the history of Montreal's society realm
took place during the past week, when
Miss Marion Cook, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Cook of Montreal and Mor-
x'isburg, Ont., became the bride of Vic-
tor Gilbert, fifth Earl of Minto, and son
of Countess of Minto. Messrs Camp-
bells, Inc., had the decorations in the
Congress Hall adjoining St. Patrick's
Church. The long corridor leading to
the hall was festooned with Southern
Smilax and white Heather. The hall
was tastefully decorted with Lilium gi-
ganteum, banked with white Heather.
Lilies were used on the altar. The bride
did not carry tbe customary bouquet, but
instead a white satin prayer book which
her mother had carried on her wedding
day. This was showered with white
Violets and white Heather sent from the
Earl's Scottish home. The ushers wore
boutonnieres of Heather.

After the ceremony at the Congress
Hall, a reception was held at Juniper
House, the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. N.
Beardmore. The decorations here were
in the hands of Messrs. Ley Regd, who
made a trellis arch of Smilax and white
Roses. The Dowager Countess of Minto
and Mrs. Cook received about 350 guests.
The color scheme on the tables was car-
ried out in pink, pink Roses and Smilax
strings being used extensively. Lilies
formed the background.

Stock continues to be very scarce with
the exception of Carnations, bulbous
stock only just making its appearance.
Mount Royal.

The National Tree

The American Forestry Association, in
compiling a referendum as to what tree
best represents American aspirations,
sought the view of President Wilson.
"Speaking for myself," wrote the Presi-
dent, "I find I am quite unable to choose
among the infinite variety and richness
of Amnrirnn forests."

Catalogs Received

Hart & Hick, Inc., Rochester, N. Y.— Two cat-
alogs arrive simultaneously, one confined wholly to
wholesale offerings to planters and florists who grow
for profit. The descriptions therein are necessarily
brief, but full details regarding the varieties of seeds
quoted are to be found in the retail list, which is an
excellent one. Freely illustrated, it describes many
of the best known lines, including some Hart &
Vicfc specialties in vegetables and flowers. Dahlias,
hardy Perennials, Peonies, Delphiniums, Gladioli,
Cannas, Roses, fruit, and hardy shrubs are also
featured. Some excellent half-tone illustrations
of various subjects appear on the covers,

Charles Sharpe & Co., Sleaford, England. —
Wholesale general catalog of vegetable, flower and
farm seeds. A well printed list of all the leading
varieties in their respective lines. Six pages are
devoted to novelties and specialties, in.cluding three
new Peas, two new Tomatoes, a hothouse Melon
and, among flower seeds, several Sweet Peas and
new single and double Poppies.

Howard M. Gillet, Lebanon Springs, N. Y. —
A twelve-page pocket catalog of GladioH. In addi-
tion to cultural notes, it gives a list of many best
and most reasonably priced varieties, including the
well known Evelyn Kirtland,

The Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O.—
Spring catalog, 1921 . Bound in well colored covers
depicting Roses on the front and fruit on the back,
this list looks interesting. On the inside covers one
finds Sweet Peas and Zinnias depicted, also in color.
A full line of vegetable and flower seeds is de-
scribed and illustrated, photographic cuts being
used in all cases. The flower illustrations are par-
ticularly numerous. The plant department covers
more than half the IGO pages, and herewefind every-
thing, including bedding, greenhouse, and hardy
plants of all kinds, roots, such as Dahlias, Cannas
and Gladioli, Roses, ornamental shrubs and fruits
Certainly among the leaders iu the way of catalogs'

J, M. Thorburn & Co., Barclay st., N. Y. —
Thorburn's Seeds, 120th year. A space of time few
concerns, no matter what line, can equal. In size,
10 in. X GH in., this catalog appeals by its Quaker
grey cover and dark green lettering. Consisting of
130 pages of good stout paper, it can rank among
the laest. Not lavishly illustrated, but describes
clearly all the many varieties of vegetables and flow-
ers, including a number of new or little known forms.
Field seeds are a feature, while tree and shrub seeds,
not usually listed by retail seedsmen, and also fruit
seeds are given considerable apace. Gladioli,
Cannas, Dahlias, Peonies, Lilies, Japan Iris, and
sundries of all kinds, likewise, are given full con-
sideration. A complete list of varietal names, ■(vith
blank spaces for ordering, accompanies this catalog.

Sutton & Sons, Reading, England — Through
H. P. Winter & Co., 64 Wallst., N. Y.. this queen of
catalogs reaches us, accompanied by a special list of
pedigree seeds of Marigold and other farm roots,
and a special printed list and order form. Either of
these enclosures, printed as they are on fine paper,
rival many good class catalogs. Of the catalog
itself, words almost fail. The stiff, dull green cover,
grained like lizard skin, with its charming center
picture, marks it as among the elite. In size, it is
IIH in. x83'i> in., and consists of 168 pages, every
one carrying a photographic illustration of some
subject that represents the acme of perfection.
Mediocrity in any direction is outside this great
concern's line of thought. The illustration of the
stores and buildings at Reading, covering as they
do nearly six acres, give one an idea of the im-
mensity of this firm's standing. Vegetables, Peas
in particular, are intimately bound up -with the
name of Sutton, and the illustrations in green,
especially the new Pea, The V. C, literally make
one's mouth water. Of the other subjects, one
wonders how such models for reproduction were
ever obtained. The flower seeds listed, and the
beautiful illustrations accompanying the text, we
need not expatiate upon. Several of the latter are
in color; that of an exhibit of hardy annuals, as
shown in August last, is truly wonderful. That
the firm had added to its prestige in the Sweet Pea
world through adding a well known grower to its
staff, is shown by the fact that in 1920 no less than
14 gold medals and special awards, including the
Objet D'art at the Antwerp exhibition, were secured
for Sweet Peas alone.

A. W. Beebe, Maplewood, N. J. — Dahlias for
1921. A small vest-pocket list describing only the
moi e recent and most choice varieties. We are in-
terested to note that this grower offers green plants
only, which are stated to give finer results than roots
In this respect, Mr.Beebe islined up the witbEurop,
ean growers who make a specialty of exhibiting

Jerome B. Rice Seed Co., Cambridge. N. Y. —

Wholesale trade list, 1921. A valuable list for
seedsmen. Describes an enormous list of varieties
of vegetables and a few specialties in flowers.
Specialties for 1921 are, Early Fortune Cucumber,
Pollock's No. 25, Musk Melon, Perfection Pea and
Sparkler Radish. These and a few other lines are
illustrated. This catalog, consisting of 72 pages, is
well printed on good paper and is of handy pocket
size.

Moore Seed Co., Market st., Philadelphia. —
Wholesale price list for market gardeners and flo-
rists. A good, freely illustrated catalog, describing
seeds of every kind. Strawberries and other berries,
garden tools and thoroughbred poultry. "Thelatter
are a great specialty ^vith the firm, every important
breed of fowl, turkey and duck being handled at the
^Magnolia Poultry Farm.

Slocombe's Dahlia Gardens, New Haven,
Conn. — A list of new Dahlias raised by the late
John H. Slocombe, whose business is now carried
on by his daughter, Emily Slocombe. A full de-
scription of each variety is given, several being of
1920 and 1921 origin.

Aggeler & Musser Seed Co., Los Angeles. Cal.
— Twenty-eighth annual catalog showing in color
on the covers, Melons and vegetables, An im-
portant list packed with information valuable to
the home and conunercial planter. Vegetable and
flower seeds, farm and field seeds, tools of all kinds
and poultry supplies, are fully dealt with. Freely
illustrated, this 112-page lis represents progress.

Star Dahlia Gardens, San Francisco, Calif, —
Dahlias 1921, A small but neat list, describing
several novelties and a considerable number of
standard varieties of all types.

Elmer D. Smith & Co., Adrian. Mich, — Select
retail list of Chrysanthemums, featuring the 1921
novelty, Orange Queen in color on the front cover.
The term "select" is used in the true sense, for it
appears to us that this firm has considerably re-
duced the number of varieties. A decidedly useful
book of reference; containing much information
regarding the heights and bud selection of most
varieties. Among novelties, Rosanda is classed as
a wonderful exhibition variety, the color being old
rose. Among commercial varieties offered for the
first time are. Rose Delight, deep pink; Orange
Queen, deep orange; and White Surprise. .All four
have gained C. S. A. certificates. All the best of
the most recent novelties and a select list of stand-
ard sorts, are grouped under their respective
classes, numerous illustrations serving to add power
to the descriptions given. Pompon varieties are
weU featured, while Anemones and Singles also re-
ceive full attention; nor are the hardy varieties
overlooked. This firm is, we believe, the only one
iu the country devoted wholly to Chrysanthemums
and its position as raisers and introducers of worthy
novelties has never been challenged. Chrysaliue
a special food for Chrysanthemums and Smith's
Chrj'sauthemum Manual are the only item.s, other
than 'Mums, listed.

John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse. Wis — A
remarkably fine catalog with which to celebrate
the 53rd year of business. Containing 144 pages
with beautifully colored covers, this compilation
is certainly one of the best that has reached us
and demonstrates that the firms issuing high-da^s
catalogs are not confined to any one part of the
country. No less than 16 full pages color plates
are given, while in addition, many vegetable and
plant subjects are tinted green, a process that ap-
pears to be popular this season. Several vegetable
novelties are illustrated iu color, while many
special Salzer stocks are likewise depicted. The
color plates of flowers are good and varied, while
even farm specialties are favored with color illus-
trations. In addition to seeds, a full line of green-
house plants, and hardy flowers are given. Farm
seeds, of course, receive attention and one is able
to realize that all the finest types and varieties
do not necessarily hail from any one center.

W. W. Wilmore, Denver, Col. — Dahlias, 1921.
A well fruited and illustrated list of Dahlias. Fran-
cis Daniels is a novelty now introduced for the
first time, a soft pmk Peony variety of merit A
number of new and special varieties are described
and illustrated, while the general collection is kept
within bounds. This grower aims at the best and
has faith in his offerings. A special trade list of
Dahhas, Gladioli and hardy plants also reaches us
Practically all the DahUas grown are offered at
wholesale, while GladioU and perennials in limited
variety are also quoted.

The E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. — Whole-
sale price list of Roses and Chrysanthemums
On the first page, the statement is made that
''the outlook for high grade stock has never been
better." Novelties for the season are. Golden
Opheha and White OpheUa, full descriptions of
which are given, together with illustrations The
popular varieties, Mme. Butterfly, Premier
Crusader, Columbia and Frank W. Dunlop are the
only others featured. A fairly extensive Ust of
Ohrj'santhemums is quoted, embracing all types and
including the novelties; Pink Rosette, a recom-
mended commercial variety and Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, an exhibition white raised in the Govern-
ment gardens at Washington. It is said to rank
with the popular Turners and is an easy doer on a
mid-Auguist bud.

Stokes Seed Farms Co., Moorestown, N. J. —
A specially useful catalog, possessing several
features that are original. A feature that first
attracts notice is the inset attached to cover, an-
nouncing a reduction in the price of many seeds.
The suggestions as to varieties suitable for gardens
and commercial purposes are u.seful, while the plant-
ing tables and the notes on vegetable history are
assuredly helpful and interesting. The data sup-
plied regarding each variety of vegetable is such as
we have never found in any other catalog. The
interest that F. A. Stokes has displayed in regard to
nomenclature, ensures that this firm is listing no
dupUcates or useless varieties. The new Washing-
ton Asparagus, raised by the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry is given full prominence. It is entirely rust-
proof. The photographic illustrations throughout
the catalog are good and numerous, whilst fine
drawings of root forms add further interest. Flower
seeds are not neglected, and farm seeds are given
two or three pages. Wholesale prices for seeds,
fruit trees and Roses are given on separate insets.

James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y. — Vick's
Aster Book for Florists, 1921. A catalog largely
sought after by fiorists, as it represents all that is
good in Asters and may be accepted as giving the
last word in Aster development. No novelties for
1921 are. offered, but Heart of France and Peerless
Yellow are given special prominence. The last
named is without question one of the greatest
breaks ever recorded among Asters being as it is, a
color alien to the China Aster family, in the same
way that blue and purple is alien to the Chrysan-
themum family. All the famed Vick varieties of
Asters are described and, in many instances, illus-
trated. Every florist grower should keep a copy
of this catalog on hand.

should have been. The retailer is thor-
oughly disgusted and hnds all his efforts
to hold the flower buyerd together, tor a
better day, going tor naugnt. All far
sighted storemeu are holding to a con-
servative price and are doing business
at a loss, awaiting the change, which
will soon be with us.

SSupply and demand will always hx the
prices, but iu times of great scarcity a
little careful consideration of the wel-
fare of the industry by the agitators for
the consolidation, etc., of the produc-
ers will do more toward holding the con-
fidence of the flower buying public than
anything else we can think of. Those
who buy flowers, for the most part, do so
through a sort of necessity, brought about
by, perhaps, a friend's sickness, a social
obligation or a case of bereavement. At
the present time flowers in a poor man's
home are more of a myth than ever before.
Large Supplies liooked Por

Another week will see more Rose Stock
coming in ; Carnations will be in double
the present supply in about two weeks.

St. Valentine's Day will help to hold
up prices temporarily, then every one can
settle down to normal conditions. Sweet
Peas are coming in larger quantities and
are pushed by storemen in place of Roses.
Single Daffodils are coming along nicely
and clean up well. Freesia is extra
and fine, sells well. Paperwhites are not
moving very fast — too much white stock
always works to the disadvantage of this
otherwise popular flower. Homegrown
Violets are good stock and find ready
sale.

In green goods, stock is in good shape
and supplies are ample to meet the de-
mand. Coonty foilage, a recent intro-
duction to this market, bids fair to take
its place as a high class ornamental ma-
terial for work of all kinds.

Cincinnati and the Carnation Club
in 1922

The growers of this vicinity, es-
pecially those interested in Carnation cul-
ture, are anxiously awaiting the Wash-
ington verdict regarding the next meeting
place for the Carnation Society. Through
the personal efforts of H. W. Sheppard,
president of the Cincinnati Florists Club,
the Chamber of Commerce of this city has
undertaken to share the work with the lo-
cal interests and anyone at all skeptical
at the outcome will be most agreeably
surprised if they have occasion to make
the trip here next year. While tbe mat-
ter will be all settled by the time this
gets into print we do not hesitate to
predict that this city will be chosen. Lo-
cal interests are always more than will-
ing to do their sbare wben the occasion
requires, and from the many assurances
received by tbe Cincinnati delegation to
Washington, they ought to "bring home
the bacon." — H. E. K.

Short Stocks Bother the Trade

Jan. 23. — The vagaries of the
flower industry were never so manifest
as during the present month. The grower
bewails his misfortune in not being able
to send in enough stock ; the commission

tempted to charge enough for what he

Why I Because it's newspaper publicity !
That's the answer. It is simply the fact
that in every illustration of a bride, in
every newspaper, she is carrying or holding
Bowers, so that every girl thinks flowers are
as much a part of her costume as her
gown or veil. A wedding without flowers
would, to the average bride, be the same
as the play of Hamlet without Hamlet. It's
inconceivable ! Yet I can remember when
it was not considered indispensable. Only
wealthy brides indulged in flowers forty
years ago, but now no well regulated
bride is without them, and it's simply and
solely due to the newspapers. These found
a good combination in pretty girls, veils
and flow^ers, and so were always ready
to give them space in embellishing their
columns. But what is the result? The
publicity, and the suggestion conveyed to
the girl was, that flowers were a real neces-
sity, and the florist profited by all this
free publicity.

Why Not Use More Publicity?

Now, here is the lesson in a nutshell.
Why not use the same methods to create
other fashions? What's the matter with
our florists ? Why don't they wake up and
use publicity?

Publicity with advertising is the great-
est force in the world to create business.
You don't hear of any of the big advertisers failing. If
they do it's because of other factors and leaks in their
business ; 84 per cent of the failures in the United States
last year was among those who did not beheve in ad-

vertising. Does publicity pay? Watch the big adver-
tisers during dull times 1 They increase their space in-
stead of cutting it down, but a florist cuts down his
when it's hard times or poor business.

CORNERING THE WARY DOLLARS

A Valentine's Day Plan for Florists in Small Cities.
By NELSON COON

Valentine's Day comes as an oasis in a desert of small
trade. The florists in the big cities have for many years
made a big day of it, but it has been rather hard for the
small town florist to make it a holiday of any great
note. This is partially due to the lack of advertising
and partially to the attitude of the people in such places.
It has been thought that a greeting card was a quite suf-
ficient valentine greeting and, too, in the small towns,
the number of young men who might send valentines to
their ladies is limited. So, by the time the stationer and
the confectioner each gets his share, very little is left for
the florist. The scheme then is to find new fields for
sales. Following is one suggestive plan that works:

In a town of five to fifteen thousand, the florist is apt to
be personally acquainted with most of the married men of
the town. Very few of these men will give Valentine's
Day a thought, and right here the opportunity of the
florist lies.

The first thing to do is to jot down the names of all
these men if you haven't a regular mailing list handy. Then
prepare a letter somewhat on the following lines :

Mr. Jones, Anywhere, U. S. A.

My dear Mr. Jones. — Do you remember how much you
used to make of Valentine's Day when you were in your
courting days? Remember the little card or bunch of
posies that you sent to your sweetheart?

Ne-xt Monday, February Idth, will be Valentine's Day
and I would venture to suggest that your wife would be
]ust as pleased to have you remember her this year as .she
was in tiiose courtship days.

If you are in your office when you receive this letter
just 'phone me {Central 1234) and tell me how much yon
would like to spend and I will take care of the rest.

Very sincerely,

Wm. Eobinson, Florist.

In sending a letter of this kind it is the personal ap-
peal that counts most and therefore you should be most
particular to see that it at least appears personal. If you
have a stenographer at your command the letters could
be written in her spare time, or they could be multi-
graphed and then carefully filled in with the addresses.
In work of this kind it is well to take your printer into
your confidence. Don't, however, let him print this with
Roman type. One might rather sit down and write
it by hand, which, after all, is the sure way of making a
personal appeal. Use only the best of your stationery
and mail the letter as first class mail. If you post this
letter the Tuesday before Valentine's Day it will bring
the replies in plenty of time for you to make necessary
preparations and have the stock on hand.

If yon have never tried a plan similar to this, you will
be surprised at the number and the value of the replies.
The writer of this article used a similar plan last j'car
with wonderful results. One customer wanted a couple
of little bouquets put in for the kiddies. And even if
your friends don't order, or "Say it with Candy," they
will mentally thank you for reminding them of the day
and put you down as a wideawake fiorist. The cost of
this letter won't break you and you will be more than
pleased with the results. Try it.

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

I am reminded by your editorial on "arti-
ficial flowers," in the issue of Jan. 15, of
some observations on this subject — from
the user's standpoint — that I think are
really apt and beautifully expressed. They
are from a little book entitled "A Garden
Rosary," by Agnes Edwards, which, in the
form of a pathetic diary, includes some of
the cleverest, most original flower descrip-
tions and comments that I have ever come
across. Such expressions as "She has
come, the dear, good Clematis — with her
white mob cap and ample white apron and
her clean, wholesome mantle of fragrance ;"
and again, "Just like old ladies imtwisting
their curl papers in fidgety haste to get
off to a church sociable, so the Hyacinths
(as soon as Spring is fairly started) shake
out their corkscrew curls and hasten to ap-
pear upon the scene, spilling, in their agi-
tation, a whole bottle of strong perfume
down the front of their dresses," are per-
fect pictures to my mind and full of de-
light, I think, for the average true flower
lover.

But I was speaking of natural vs. arti-
ficial flowers, upon which subject Miss Ed-
wards says, with characteristic discern-
ment :

"I have been arranging flowers through
the house; in shallow glass bowls; in thin
vases; in wide mouthed pitchers; in rustic
brown willow baskets.
"Is it a waste of time to spend several hours in such
a fleeting task, which will have to be done over again
tomorrow? That is, perhaps, the idea of those people
who drape artificial Roses from their piano scarves and
set Japanese Cherry blossoms — cunningly made out of
linen— on their dining room tables. They think if the
touch of color which only a flower can give has been
obtained in a room, that the effect might as well be pre-
served. But the significance of cut flowers is not merely
that they brighten a dark corner or fill a void, but that
they bear mute and eloquent evidence of fond and con-
stant care. It is this sense of tender solicitude which per-
vades the room as much as the fragrance and grace of
the flower itself. An enameled face may be more per-
fect than a natural complexion, but to a person of refined
vision the charm of the human countenance is in its
mobility, its swiftly changing color, its expressions which
depend upon muscles too fine to be recognized, and a
million living pores too small to be seen. The enamel
masks all this; the spiritual meaning of the face is ob-
literated.

"So it is in a room decorated with artificial flowers."

E. L. D. S.

The average opinion of a railroad general manager is
likely to depend on whether or not the holder of said
opinion is a commuter, how often his evening train is
late and other such factors. But that some railroad
officials, at least, have real human feelings is indicaterl
by the letter given below as printed in the Cleveland
(O.) Plain Dealer, in which J. D. Brown, general" agent
of the passenger department of the Erie, tells what
flowers mean to him.

The circumstances under which it was written were
these : Miss Ida Prater, station master for the Erie at
Westminster, Allen Co., O., decided that her little box
of a station and its surroundings needed brightening up.
So she bought some lumber, some paint and some flower
seeds, built a portico around the building, painted it
inside and out, laid out the grounds, sowed her seeds

and cultivated her plants until the whole
place became a little garden spot. The
letter follows:

"My dear Miss Prater:

"On the editorial page of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. Dec. 7, 1920. writer had the pleasure of
reading an interesting article entitled 'Say it with
Flowers,' and was particularly interested because
no person, it seems to me, could be a more affec-
tionate lover of flowers than m^-self.

"The article informed me how you had com-
pletely rehabilitated little old Westminster station
and its surroundings, so this communication is
sent you convej-ing my sincere commendations
and congratulations on your unique and remark-
able achievement,

"There was a time when writer's duties took him
frequently over the Chicago diiiTsiou of the Erie,
and we retain a photo in our mind to this daj' of
that forlorn station as we then saw it. Some day
in the future we hope to enjoy the pleasurable op-
portunity of again -visiting "SVestminster station to
thank you and \-iew your splendid work; perhaps
in the Spring or early Summer when nature carpets
the earth with its paintings of the most beautiful
things in the World, flowers, which God has given
us and seemingly forgotten to give them a soul.

"You, as I do, love flowers; love them for their
own sake, for their beauty, their associations and
the joy and pleasure they give and alwaj-s will.

"They seem to be revelations of God's love of
beauty; pouring their life out in fragrance. Flowers
remind us of people with kind and noble hearts who
make us better by our associations with them.

"A beautiful sunset is but a blossoming of the
clouds; flowers are always silent, yet they seem to
and do speak through our eyes. They are really
lovelj' acquaintances, and they cannot be monopcH
lized; God never intended they should be, for the
poor can enjoy them as well as the wealthy.

"Flowers are messengers of affection and tokens
of remembrance; they are gifts of universal ac-
ceptance. This sunny Sabbath morning, just be-
fore writing you, I visited a sacred place, city of
the dead, to see if the flowers Mrs. Brown and I
place there often would greet us as they alwaj-s do;
silently thanking us for our \isit and perhaps looking
down from that land far above whose -n-indows are
the stars. Those near and dear to us in Sweet
Beulah Land may have watched and been thankful_

"How gloomy this world would be if it were not
for these lovely gifts of the Creator.

"As flowers carry beaded dewdrops. trembling
on the edges of thpir petals, ready to fall at the first
waft of wind or bush, or ^^ing of bird to thirsty-
roots below, so, my fair lover of flowers, in your
kind heart remember, please, that every employe of
the Erie commends and thanks you for the unusual
and splendid work you have seen fit to carr^' out.

"Oftentimes, in the evening hour, when shadows
creep from the west and the sun seems dipped in
liqmd gold, going to rest behind the distant hill
tops, leaving a golden stream of gorgeous splendors,
making the whole Western horizon seem as if the
most opulent dye pots in the Studio of the ^Vngels
had been upset and had trickled through upon the
clouds, giving them the tintings of celestial glories,
I cast a pebble into memorj-'s pool and lo! the
ripples widen out and through a teardrop in my
eye, which becomes a lens, the landscape of fond
memory reveals a picture of mj'self riding in the
cupola of an Erie caboose on the rear of a local
freight train with forlorn Westminster station
standing out vi\'idly like a ray from The Star in
the East.

"Perhaps, and we hope it will be. an example
for other agents of the Erie work.

"I thank you."

The School Nature League has exhibi-

only to love flowers, but to know them
also. For this purpose I make generally
a selection of one or two flowers of as
many varieties as possible and send them

session I get a wonderful little letter
from one of the scholars. The one en-

Dear Sir: — I have known of you since
I was a baby, for my mother and aunt
bought flowers from you for their wed-
dings. I suppose you are very well known
for you have a very big store. I have
often stopped to admire the flowers in
your windows when I pass. I greatly
appreciate your liberal contribution of
flowers, some of which were rare Lady
Slippers, Roses, Carnations and orchids.
Orchids are very rare. I have heard how
natives risk their lives in the junglew
around the Amazon River for the orchids
which grow and thrive in the marshes.
I have also heard they are very danger-
ous to get at. The flower show was a
veritable Garden of Paradise, If you
were here and had closed your eyes, you
would have rememberod your own shop

I used to tell when I was younger. You

I hope as you grow older your vision

Added beauty —
for a few cents.

Everyone concedes that flowers are a
thing of beauty — when the natural beauty
is intensified the feeling of appreciation is
much greater. The florist who aims to
create a better and lasting impression
upon those who buy from him is bound
to build a larger and more profitable
business.

These handsomely decorated wood-fiber,
waterproofed jardinieres for potted plants,
ferns, cut flowers, and general decorative
purposes are just the thing for that added
touch which makes for intensified beauty.
And they cost but a few cents each —
that is the reason so many florists use
them continuously.

The Market

Jan. 25. — There are medium ar-
rivals of ever^- kind of flower, we think,
which the season usually affords. Very
few items of stock are either in ex-
tremely large or small supply. The gen-
eral demand appears to be somewhat be-
low normal. Prices show few changes
from those of last week. Some flowers
arrived in a frosted condition in the
early days of this week, but, as far as we
could learn, not many, because, we pre-
sume, there is nothing in the weather
conditions to prevent speedy deliveries
either by automobile or through the ex-
press companies.

Am. Beauty Koses are in small sup-
ply which the demand absorbs fairly
well ; special grade blooms sell at 75e. to
$1.25 each, other grades at proportionate
prices. Other Roses are not in large sup-
ply, but the story is the same about these
as that of the last few weeks, namely
the No. 2 and No. 1 are in much greater
demand than the specials and extra
specials. These specials and extra
specials are selling at 12c. for the old
time pink and white Killarneys, up to
60c, for such varieties as Key and Had-
ley, but it should be noted that the un-
sold blooms of these grades ultimately
go at the price of lower grades. No, 2
grade blooms sell at $12 to $15 per 100
with the exception of the Killarneys
which are going for about $6; this, how-
ever, does not include the double white
Killarney.

Carnations are in moderate supply, but
in large variety and many blooms of ex-
cellent quality are noted. Select blooms
in general bring $6 to $8 per 100 ; choice
blooms of Wards and other preferred va-
rieties are bringing $10, and the asking
price in some cases is as high as $12.
The variety Laddie, which seems to be
in a little larger supply, is bringing $15.
The inferior to ordinary blooms are sell-
ing at $4 to $5 and are not much sought.

The arrivals of Cattleyas appear to^ be
larger and the demand is not active.
Prices are not firm ; they fetch 25c. to 50c.
each, a few extra choice blooms in oc-
casional sales bring 75c. Cypripediume
bring $2.50 to $4 per doz. Oncidlums go
slowly at $6 to $8 per 100 blooms. The
arrivals of Gardenias the last few days
have not been quite as large ; prices remain
unchanged, from $1 to $6 per doz. Lily
of the Valley is found in more wholesale
stores than we have ever before seen it
■offered ; the demand is slow ; prices
range from $1 to $6 per 100. Both white
and pink Lilies are in small supply, the
former are bringing $20 to $25, the latter
$10 to $15 per 100. Demand is moderate.

The varieties of bulbous flowers are now
quite complete ; the list comprises Callas,
which are moving well at $2 to $4 per
doz. Freesias, in abundant supply, aD
at once, at 35c. to 50c. per doz. sprays,
and accumulating at these prices ; a little
tlue Iris at $5 to $6 per doz; Narcissus
Paperwhite, at 40c. to 50c., Soleil d'Or,
$1 ; Trumpet Major, 50c. to 75e. ; Golden
Spur. 75c. to $1 ; King Alfred, $1.50 per
bunch. Tulips in large variety, but ap-
prently not yet at their best, go at 35c.
to $1 per bunch.

The list of miscellaneous flowers in-
cludes Acacia at $4 to $5, Antirrhinum
at $2 to $4. Bouvardia at $1 to $1.50,
Buddleia at the same price, Lilac at $3,
Calendula at 35c. to $1.50, Myosotis at
35c. to 50c., Primula obconica at 25c.,
Stevia at 35c., Wallflowers at 75c. to
$lut5 all per bunch; Daisies, yellow and
white, at $2 to $6, Pansies at $2 to $3,
Primula malacoides at $1 to $2, Sweet
Peas at $1 to $5, Violets, double and

single, at 50c. to $1, all per 100. Roman
Hyacinths are bringing $2 to $3 and
Dutch Hyacinths $10 to $12 per 100
sprays. Mignonette 75c, to $2 per doz.
These bulbous and miscellaneous flowers
are meeting with medium demand.

There is a sufficient supply of ell kinds
of indoor grown and hardy greens to
meet the present moderate demand. These
are selling at quoted prices.

News Notes

Secretary John Young left the city
Sunday last for Washington, D, C, to
attend an executive meeting of the S. A.
F. and other meetings scheduled for this
week. A. L. Miller, Jamaica, L. I., ac-
companied Secretary Young.

The party from New York City and vi-
cinity traveling to Washington, D. C, to
attend the Convention of the American
Carnation Society left this city early
AVednesday morning over the Pennsyl-
vania R. R, The members of the party
were Mr. and Mrs. Roman J. Irwin,
New York, annd Mrs. Wallace R. Pier-
son, Cromwell, Conn. ; J. W. Relmels,
Woodhaven, L. I.; Frank H. Traendly,
New York ; Mr, and Mrs. David Ward,
Queens. L. I.; T. A. Weston and C.
Lowther, New York.

From inquiries reaching Secretary
.Tohn Young's office and Manager Arthur
T. Herrington the interest in the Inter-
national Flower Show seems to have
become general. Copies of the final
schedule have been mailed to all previous
exhibitors of record. Others desiring a
copy can obtain one by applying to Sec-
retary Young.

Charles Millang returned from San
Diego, Calif., on Jan. 11 and was im-
mediately taken to the Flushing Hospital,
where he is now in a serious condition,
Mr. Millang several years ago suffered
severe injuries in an automobile accident,
and since then has been in poor health.

School graduations this week have in-
creased the sales of flowers somewhat,
but according to general report among the
retail florists there is great need of such
events as will stimulate the flower busi-
ness.

The first Acacia pubescens of the sea-
son was noted at Geo. C. Siebrecht's this
week. This is one pf the most beautiful
of all yellow flowers ; its fernlike foliage,
too, is very pretty. Here, also, we saw
some of the finest white Lilacs ever ob-
served in the market. The supply of this
so far this season has been quite limited.

Letters from Mr. and Mrs. William
Kessler and Louis Kessler, now at Miami,
Fla., report that they are enjoying them-
selves thoroughly at this Winter resort
in the Sunny South,

At Herman Weiss*s this week we noted
the most comprehensive list of high qual-
ity flowers which we have seen this sea-
son in any one store, both of staple stock
and the less seen flowers, sixteen kinds
altogether by actual count.

Harry Charles, Violet specialist, is on
a trip this week among the Violet grow-
ers in Rhinebeck and Red Hook, N. T.
Mr. Charles is also a large receiver of
Sweet Peas.

Inquiries often come to us from grow-
ers about desirable varieties of pink An-
tirrhinum. The blooms of the variety
Keystone as seen in the market, are most
attractive, and this variety apparently
has many good qualities. We noted some
excellent flowers of it at Sullivan Bros,
& Co,, this week, and also Sweet Peas
of excellent quality and double Violets.

Our attention was attracted this week
by a seasonable window display at Dards.
There were a half dozen Japanese decor-
ated baskets, artistically filled with Spring
flowers ; Narcissi. Freesias. Daisies, Tu-
lips, Calendula, Trachymene, Pansies and
Sweet Peas. These were shown on a
window floor covering of dark green and

Calling on A, T. Bunyard recently we
found him quite busy executing a num-
ber of orders covering the entire field
of retail florist's work, but Mr. Bunyard
tells us there are just now few calls for
large floral decorations. In his store win-
dow we noted a display of fine blooms of
Calanthe sprays and other orchids. Mr.
Bunyard is an orchid enthusiast, and a
large user of these flowers.

Alexander Scommodau reports that
though local business is not brisk he has
recently been filling many orders from
out of town.

Mrs. Kervan, Bayside, L. I., widow of
the late Lawrence Kervan, died at her
home on Sunday morning, Jan. 23, of
heart failure. Mrs. Kervan was 69
years old. She is survived by four sons,
Lawrence, Willard, Frederick and John
Kervan, members of the well known Ker-
van Co. The funeral services were at
her late residence on Tuesday night at
8 o'clock and the interment was in the
family plot in Montague, Mass.

Among- recent visitors in town was
.Tames Fox, of James Fox & Son, Inc.,
Milwaukee, Wis., and P. Welch of Bos-
ton, Mass. Mr. Welch left this city for
Washington, D. C, to attend the meet-
ing of the National Flower Show Com-
mittee.

The Market

The early part of last week found the '
most acute shortage of cut flowers this
season, with a gradual letting up, until
by Saturday there was plenty of stock
with the exception of medium and short
Roses.

There has been much talk about the
present shortage, but in comparing this
season with other years, it has been
found that the supply has been a little
better than normal,7and as all the retail
stores are complaining of poor business,
it may be a good thing that the supply
has been no greater. The supply should
be larger from now on, as Jonquils and
Tulips are becoming a factor, and
Freesias have put in an appearance,
which with a normal increase in other
flowers, should tend to ease the situation
considerably.

Roses are the one short item, and they
will remain that way for some time. The
quality of the ones arriving is fine and
they command high prices. Am. Beauty
are off the market altogether at present.
The supply of Carnations has increased
and it will not be long until there are
enough for all. Sweet Peas have im-
proved, both in quantity and quality, and
while the principal color has been pink,
other colors are fast coming in.

Easter Lilies and Cannashave commanded
good prices. Orchids and Valley are in
light supply, but at that they are slow
to move at times. The supply of Violets
has been too heavy, with the- result that i
some of them have had to be sacrificed.
Calendula, Baby Primrose and Migno-
nette have moved freely, and Paperwhite
Narcissus are in lighter supply, with the

WLen orderiDK, please mention The Exchange

result that they have advanced in price.
All kinds of greens have moved freely.

Preparing for Valentine's Day

The outlook for Valentine's Day
is bright. While Lent starts Feb. 9, that
will not have much effect on Valentine's
Day business. Last year at this time the
influenza was at its worst and the florists
had all they could do without going after
any extra business; this year it is dif-
ferent, and each locality should advertise
the day, as from all reports there will be
plenty of flowers, especially Violets, Sweet
Peas and all small flowers suitable for
corsage work, and there is no question
but what the corsage makes the most
popular valentine. The candy people in
this district are at it already, telling the
public to send candy valentines, so that
the florists will have to look out or they
will be losers.

Department heads were a scarce arti-
cle around the McCallum Co. during the
past week, they being out of town on
business, and scattered from Chicago to
Boston.

H. L. Thompson of Rochester, Pa., and
Mr. Barber of The Liberty Flower Store,
Steubenville, O., were Pittsburgh visitors
last week.

Jos. Thomas of Greensburg, Pa., and
Wm. Loew of this city are on their an-
nual Florida excursion ; they expect to
be gone for about four weeks.

James Ford, head of the landscape de-
partment of the A. W. Smith Flower
Store Co., has returned to work after a
four weeks' illness. E. 0. Tipton. J

Briquettes for Boilers

As the cost of coal is very high can
you say if briquettes are cheaper and, if
so, how are they made? Further, is oil
cheaper for a large Dixie boiler? — ^A. M.,
Va.

We can say little in regard to bri-
quettes; they are made with coal dust
bound together with pitch or other ma-
terial. Under some circumstances they
are serviceable, but we doubt their cheap-
ness, except on fires that are allowed to
run undisturbed. We know of no green-
house man using them, but you may ob-
tain all information regarding briquettes
from the Bureau of Mines and Mining,
Washington, D. C. Regarding the use of
oil for a Dixie boiler, this is a question
that no one can answer offhand, but in
comparing^ prices, one must take into
consideration the waste and labor con-
nected with coal. Further, there is coal
and coal and its value must be judged,
not by what you pay for it, but the
number of heat units it contains. The
question of oil versus coal will be further
discussed at an early date. — G. T.

The Market

Jan. 25. — The market was dull all
■week ; the supply was sufficient for a
short demand. The weather was fine
until Monday morning when it got cold
-and windy, going to 10 deg. below zero
in some neighborhoods of Boston ; in Bos-
ton it was about 4 deg. above. Tuesday
was very cold all day. Roses have lost
value on short lengths, longer stems about
the same as last week, quality fine ; seU
well. Carnations have dropped to 5c. for
poor stock : Sc. for the best. Callas sell,
as usual, at .S4 per doz. and there appears
to be a sufficient supply. There are plenty
of Paperwhites which sell at 4c, yeUow
at Sc. ; Golden Spurs at 8c. to lOc, with
more coming in. Freesias are in good lots
and have dropped to 4c. and 6e. There
appears to be no call for Mignonette.
Good Calendulas bring 4c. to 6c. Sweet
Peas sell well at 4c. for best. Violets
do not sell as well : there are too many
now, the best bringing 2c. Orchids and
Valley are about the same as last week.

Ne^ps froxn Around Boston

Louis Cohen, of the New England
Florist Supply Co., will be married to
Miss Josephina Friedman on Feb. 6. The
happy couple will spend their honeymoon
'•'way down South." While passing
through Alabama, Mr. Cohen will stop off
long enough to look after the supply of
fern leaves for Memorial Day, for which
leaves the firm has contracts for an im-
mense number.

S. S. Skidelsky is in Boston on one of

his periodical business trips. He finds the
business outlook much better than some
of the pessimists would have us believe it
to be, and the orders he is booking go far
to back up his claim.

E. A. Richards, the retired florist from
Greentield, Mass., on his annual pilgrim-
age to the Hub, always drops in on the
flower market and delights to swap sto-
ries with the boys about the olden time.

Frank Gibbs, managing partner of the
greenhouses of Gibbs Bros, in Lj-nn may
well and, from all appearances, does feel
jiroud of his new "Jordan" touring car. It
is a dandy of the latest design, aluminum
tliassis and body with every uptodate im-
Ijrovement, shock absorbers and all.

Banquet of tlie Gardeners and Flo-
rists Clnb

By xmauimous vote of the club it
was decided to hold the annual banquet
in Horticultural Hall on the evening of
I Feb. 3, at 6.30 o'clock. The price of tick-
I ots is $2. It is lower than for a number
of vears, so that the price need be no de-
terrent to anyone. An excellent orchestra
has been secured for dancing, and high-
class artists will furnish entertainment.
Albert C. Burrage, the new president of
the ilass. Hort. Society, has promised to
attend as one of our guests and nothing
will be left undone to make this banquet
thoroughly enjoyable. The menu will be
an excellent one, the decorations better
than ever, and the speaking and enter-
tainment of the highest standard.

Gardeners and Florists Club

Tuesday night, Jan. 18, was a busy
and lively time at Horticultural Hall
when the Gardeners and Florists Club of

Boston had the monthly meeting, combined
with installation of officers and the fes-
tivities belonging to Ladies Kight.

In spite of the arctic cold and, high
wind, a very large niunber of members,
accompanied by their lady friends, were
present. President Herman H. Bartsch
opened the meeting and the reports of the
various committees were read and ac-
cepted. Treasurer Samuel J. Goddard
submitted his report for the year which
proved that the club's finances are in a
verv prosperous conditions with all debts
paid and a fat balance in several banks,
including a good-sized flock of Liberty
bonds.

Secretarj' Wm. N. Craig's report was,
as might be expected, exact and concise.
It contained information about all of the
club's doings during the past year. It
showed that the present membership is
387 and that 30 of the members live out-
side the State of Massachusetts. Thirty-
one new members joined the club during
the vear, the losses through death being
two.' The total attendance at the meet-
ings was 951, the average attendance
98 2-10. The largest attendance at any
meeting was 214, the smallest 51. The
outgoing treasurer, S. .1. Goddard, and the
re-elected secretary, 'Wm. N. Craig, re-
ceived a well-deserved standing vote of
thanks.

A. K. Rogers reported on behalf of his
committee, that the club will be hand-
somely represented at the coming Union
■Agricultural Meeting in Horticultural
Hall, during the week of Feb. 7. The
club will, as usual, participate in these
gatherings, and all members and friends
are especially urged to attend the illus-
trated lecture on "A Trip to the South
Sea Islands and Australia," given by J.
Otto Thilow of Philadelphia, in the lec-
ture hall on Tuesday evening, Feb. 8. The
members of the club will make appropri-
ate displays of foliage and flowering
plants in the loggia of the liall.

Kesohitions, in memory of Augustus
Peabody Calder, who was a charter mem-
ber and a life-long friend of the club, were
adopted and spread upon the record. A
letter of thanks from the family of ilr.
Calder, to whom a copy of the resolutions
had been sent, was also read, A com-
munication from the Boston Chamber of
Commerce wherein the support of the club
in the matter of obtaining suitable, bene-
ficial legislation for the passage of a
"Daylight Saving" law is urged, was read
and "discussed. Some members were some-
what obstreperous but, upon a vote, the
sanction of the club was given. The ap-
plications for five new memberships were
favorably passed upon.

This was the first meeting when an en-
tire absence of exhibits was noted. The
fact must be blamed on the severity of
the weather, it being below zero outside
and a strong wind blowing.

The installation of the new officers was
gracefully performed by Arthur Brirey,
assisted by Wm. Downes. The new offi-
cers of the club are: President, Wm. H.
Judd: vice-president, Harold A. Ryan;
secretary, Wm. N. Craig: treasurer, James
Methven. Executive Committee: A. K.
Kogers, Geo. W. Hamer, Walter H. Golby,
J. L. Russell, Wm. R. Burke. Exhibition
Committee: Walter H. Golby, chairman:
Herman H. Bartsch, Robert Cameron. D.
Downs, R. J. Duly, Geo. T. Elliott, Ken-
neth Finlavson, S. J. Goddard, F. E.
Palmer, D. McKenzie, A. K. Rogers, Har-
old A. Ryan.

The hall was handsomely decorated with
American flags, and after a bountiful and
excellent collation, it was given over to
dancing to the strains of a fine orchestra.

Mass. Nurserymen's Ass'n

Massachusetts Nurserymen's Associa-
tion wiU hold its annual meeting at Hor-
ticultural Hall in Boston on Feb. 8 at 2
p.m. Following the regular business will
be papers and discussions by D. A. Clarke,
Fiskeville, E. I., on the "Propagation of
Deciduous Shrubs." and Christian van
der Voet, superintendent of the Arnold
Arboretum, on the "Propagation of
Evergreens." Both of these gentlemen
will speak from practical experience and
should be especially interesting at this
time. After the annual dinner the asso-
ciation will join with the State Depart-
ment of Agriculture in its union meet-
ings. J. Horace McFarland of Harris-
burgh. Pa., will deliver an illustrated lec-
ture on "Good Plants, old and New."

Worcester, Mass.

A great fire in this city last week
competely destroyed the flower shop of
Esterbrook & Luby. Mr. Luby says his
firm has lost everything in the way of
records, etc. Some insurance was car-
ried. At this writing another location
had not been found.

New Bedford, Mass.

Business is fair, but not at all rush-
ing. All are eagerly looking forward to
the opening of the cotton mill£ which
New Bedford depends upon to stir up
trade. Bulb stock is showing itself on
the market which helps to relieve the
scarcity of plants. Carnations retain
their high price, retailing at $2.50 per
doz. There is very little demand for "Vio-
lets this year and they are rarely worn
these days.

Notes

S. E. Shaw reports a good busi-
ness ; it looks it, too, as he has just poi-
chased a new Ford delivery. "Say_ it
with Flowers" gaily adorns the outside.

Wm. Davenport was a recent visitor in
Providence, looking around for Easter
stock.

Mr. McOoUom of Bayersdorfer & Co.
was in town booking orders for Easter
supplies.

Frank Reynolds, manager of the Taun-
ton Flower Shop, was in town buying
plants. He reports business as excellent.

Wm. P. Peirce has finished his work on
the Kelley estate. He contemplates erect-
ing greenhouses on his farm at Barney's
Joy in the near future, to do a wholesale
business.

Murray's greenhouses look tip top. He
is supplying the first of the season's bulb
stock. Feed Retnolds.

The Market

For the week commencing Jan. 23
business opened up quietly with some
slight price recessions, mainly on Car-
nations, of which the supply has been
steadily increasing. Prices run 4c. to 6c ;
top grade 8c. ; Laddie, 12c. Koses are
stiU on the short side; however, the ar-
rivals show a slight daily increase. The
most pronounced shortage is in the small-
er grades ; at present, prices for these
being little under 20c., and anything over
30c., they are rather hard to sell. There
are but few Am. Beauty Roses and they
bring $1 to $1.23. Sweet Peas are com-
ing in stronger and so far have been sell-
ing well. There is a generous supply of
Valley. Lilies show signs of weakening,
with a more abundant supply. Callas are
also somewhat easier with a steadier
supply. The supply o£ orchids is quite
liberal, on which the demand so far has
been even, at a top level of 75c. Lilac
is selling briskly. Golden Spur succeeds
Trumpet Major at Sc. and 10c. Paper-
whites are goin-; off ; they have had rough
sledding this Winter. Freesia is gain-
ing in receipts. Violets are slow. Migno-
nette and Snapdragon are not over
plentiful. Calendulas are up to require-
ments. The supply of all greens is in
keeping with the demand.

Neuvs of the City

The S. S. Pennock Co. has com-
pleted the new arrangement of its cold
storage plant ; it has been changed over
into a brine system, driven by electric
motors. It is automatic in operation so
that the different cold storage compart-
ments may be kept at any desired tem-
perature, each one being controlled by a
thermostat. The ribbon department has
been removed from the main floor to
the second.

In speaking of present business con-
ditions Sydney H. Bayersdorfer said :
"We are meeting the florists more than
half way by bringing the prices on sup-
plies and other staples in our line down
to rock bottom figures. As an instance
all merchandise purchased by us at the
high level of a year ago we have marked
down to a selling price that means a dis-
tinct loss to us." And he added further :
"Our new catalog, just off the press, tells
its story by its price list."

B. M. Eisenhardt & Son of Torresdale
are cutting some superb Sweety Peas
which command the top prices in this
market. Their Violets are in the same
class.

Clarence C. Watson of the Leo Niessen
Co. is highly pleased with the quality of

state of the Market

The arrival of Tulips and Daffodils
in greater quantities during the latter por-
tion of the week ending Jan. 22 helped
materially to relieve the protracted period
of scarcity and strain. Roses continue
in very short supply, the greater part of
the stock coming in consisting of the
medium and longer grades. Prevailing

values are, therefore, high. Carnations
have become more plentiful but there is
no surplus. It is claimed that the keep-
ing qualities of the Divine Flower are
beneath the standard of this season of
the year. Sweet Peas, now more abun-
dant, are figuring substantially in the
dav's sales.

When the staple fiowers are acutely
scarce, the small florist feels the pinch
more keenly than the downtown merchant
who has learned the use of other season-
able items in making Roses, Carnations,
Lilies, etc., go further in filling his or-
ders. Employing Heather, Crotons, Box-
wood, Mahonia, Leueothoe and the many
prepared foliages, the uptodate retailer
is verv little annoyed by the scarcity of
flower's. In addition to solving^ this all-
important Midwinter problem, his work is
given a peculiarly distinctive touch which
undeniably wins for him repeat orders.

Growers Meeting

Carl Hagenburger, president of the
Ohio District of the National Growers
Association, called a meeting at the Hol-
lenden, Jan. 19, for the purpose of se-
lecting delegates to the meeting in Wash-
I ington and to adopt plans for the en-
I largement of the local membership.
About a dozen growers were present, all
of whom were enthusiastic over the early
perfection of the organization. Secretary
George Bate read a number of letters
from members down state promising the
heartiest cooperation. John Scott of Lis-
bon has the record of having enrolled
every grower in his county, there being
approximately a dozen in all. Louis He-
cock of Elyria reported a full house for
Lorain County, except one grower who is
expected to fall into line later. It was
decided to employ a paid secretary _ to
take up in earnest the work of enrolling
the growers of the district, which em-
braces the entire state. M. A. Vinson of
flower show fame was recommended, and
to him a plan for assuming charge of
the promotion was submitted. An assess-
ment of $1 per sq. ft. of ground space
covered was adopted. Another meeting
is to be held, perhaps in Columbus, im-
mediately following the return of the
delegates from Washington. Carl Hagen-
burger. H. P. Knoble and F. C. W. Brown
were chosen as delegates. Out of town
visitors present at the meeting were Jim
Karln of Dreers and L. F. Neubrand and
Bernard Rynvcld of New York.

The Market

Jan. 25. — Signs of approaching re-
laxation in the stringent market condi-
tions that existed since the beginning of
the present year are at last apparent.
There are slightly more Carnations and
a gradual increase in bulbous stock that
makes conditions easier. There have been
less E-oses in January this year than in
many previous years. This is accounted
for by the fact that all growers were in
full crop for the holidays and cut so
closely there was nothing to follow for
weeks. There have been seasons in the
past when many growers failed to get
their crops in for Christmas and New
Year's, thus putting them on the market
a week or two later. There were none
of these belated crops for recent holidays;
previous warm weather brought all in
time, some too soon, so that there was a
halt in the production that is taking some
weeks to restore. Indications are that
there will be no full Rose crops before the
early part of February. The supply of
other stock will assume normal within the
next ten days.

The shipping trade called for more
stock the past week than could be sup-
plied; few of the orders were filled in
full. The local trade was light, with the
exception of funeral work that as a mat-
ter of fact consumed a lot of stock of one
kind or another. If a customer could not
find what he wanted, he generally took
whatever he could get. It is perhaps
well enough that the immediate demand
is light, for the supply would be inade-
quate for a brisk demand. The scarcity
that has existed, however, only means a
bigger supply later on, as there is as
much glass as ever in operation, as much
coal being burned, and as much labor em-

ployed as ever, the effects of_ which will
piecipitate on this market within a few
weeks the biggest supply that has ever
been known. The trade would do well
to make a note of this and boost the sale
of Mowers for St. Valentine's Day and
many following days as well.

Carnations are increasing in supply, but
not to the extent of any reduction in
in-ices. Ordinary stock is bringing $6, and
then up to $8 and $10 for fancy.

Bulbous stock is becoming more plenti-
ful and some improvement in the quality
of stock is noticeable, especially in Tulips
and Freesias. Jonquils are favorites^
some fine stock bringing as high as $15
per 100. Paperwhite Narcissus is in large
supply and even at the price of from $-1
to $S per 100, there is a large amount of
it used for fill-in stock, and for work.
Sweet Peas are in larger supply and fast
assuming better quality. Violets are quite
plentiful and sell at from 75c. to $1.50 per
100. There are more Cattleyas, and
enough of Valley for all demand.

Empress classification No. 27 has al-
ready shown its effect on this market in
regard to cut ferna and decorative ever-
greens. It is probable that 85 per cent of
all the ferns used in the Chicago market
during the year come from a iew points
in Massachusetts, by express. IMillions of
them are used here, especially during the
Fall and Winter months. This increased
cost of transportation on ferns has caused
dealers to advance the price from $4 to
§4.50 per 1000 — no better stock than is
offered in the wholesale markets of the
East for §2 and $2.50 per 1000. Still some
one occasionally asks, ^'Why the high price
of ferns in Chicago';"' Southern Sniilax,
a staple in decorative material, never sell-
ing for more than $6 per case wholesale,
has been advanced to $7.50 per case on
account of the new ruling. Its effect will
also be felt in the shipping of Asparagus
Sprengeri and plumosus from Florida and
the Gulf Coast, a large amount of which
is grown especially for this market. Galax
and Leucothoe sprays will, without doubt,
be advanced in price as soon as the next
crops are ready for shipping. Dealers who
have a supply of these in storage have not
taken advantage of the new conditions to
advance prices. The same applies to Box-
wood, Mexican Ivy and Woodwardia
fronds from California.

Ne-ws Notes

At a recent meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Illinois Nursery-
men's Association, held at the La Salle
Hotel, for the purpose of making arrange-
ments for the fourth annual convention
of this association, it was decided to hold
the next convention during the second
week in February. The exact time and
place will be announced later.

at Kiverside are moved to comment on
the wonderful beauty of the gardens there- j
in. They little know that this beauty i
comes from long years of experience in 1
tiie gardens of English and Scottish no- j
bility on the part of some of the distin- (
guished inmates of the home. One of the
directing minds of the gardens of the |
home is John Reid, one time gardener tu
the Duke of Bucoleuch and the Duke of \
Argj'le. Mr. Keid, who comes from a long :
line of gardeners to nobility, was born in
Banffshire, Scotland, and came to this
country in 1890. Another distinguished
gardener is John Bell, a former manager
of the estate of the Duchess of Athol. ilr.
Bell bears the distinction of once having
tea with the Duchess and Queen Victoria.
■Mr. Bell was born in Dumfries and knew
King Edward well when lie was a little
boy. The Chicago Tribune featured these
two veteran gardeners in special write-up
and illustration Monday, Jan. 24.

Seligman & Stein, of 116 West 28th
St., New York, have had a comprehensive
display of florists' specialties at the Palm-
er House during the past week. Both
members of this Arm have a legion of
friends in Chicago; as a consequence good
business is reported.

Hilmer V. Swenson, of the Florists'
Publicity Bui-eau, reports a good sale of
St. Valentine Day posters and posterettes.
The little stickers. Don't leave Cupid out
in the cold" are the best yet for this occa-
sion. The trade should use these exten-
sively for its own good; further, all profits
over the cost of production and handling
go into the national publicity fund.

Tickets for the novelty exhibition and
dance to be given by the Chicago Florists
Club on Feb. 3 are being distributed this
week. Chairman Waters of the good of
the club committee, is active in the prep-
aration of a good time for all.

J. J. Hess, Omaha, Neb., is in the city
on his way to Washington, D. C, for the
Carnation Show and meetings of the other
bodies of the S. A. F. He believes the
present year will be the best one in the
history of the florist's business.

The well-known establishment of C.
Frauenfelder on West Madison st., is
about to change hands. Since the death
of Mr. Frauenfelder about a year ago, the
business has been conducted by Mrs.

Frauenfelder and daughter, Ediia. Re-
cently Miss Edna became Mrs. Wni. Eeid,
and the management of the store became
too heavy for the mother, who offered the
place for sale. A corporation, headed by
Walter Adams, a well-known north side
retailer, has been formed for the purchase
of this desirable business and property.
The business hereafter will be under the
title of Frauenfelder, Inc.; transfer "ill
be made immediately.

The new express classification changing
items from second- to first-class and add-
ing from one-third to fifty per cent to
their cost of transportation, is a serious
blow to the trade. It is a matter of gen-
eral discussion among those interested.
Cut flowers remain at the old classihca-
tion. Plants, cuttings, cut ferns, nioss,
decorative greens, trees, shrubs, and scions
are all pushed up to first-class from sec-
ond, a privilege so long enjoyed. It will
now be up to the S. A. F. and the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen to bring
some relief to the trade against this seem-
ingly unjust classification.

Portland, Ore.

Trade Notes

At last, the supply of potted stock
has reached its stride, and the shortage
of cut flowers that would be acute, has
been auKmcnted by this very welcome sup-
ply of bulbous stock. Let it be said that
no doubt less bulbous stock would be used
if a little more attention were paid by
the growers to Cineraria and Primroses.
A great quantity of this kind of stock
goes begging each year for no other rea-
son than of its poor quality. A great deal
depends on the strain of seed, and no
doubt a goodly sum is spent for so-called
fancy strains that afterward prove a dis-
appointment. Primula obconica offers a
good example of this — fancy 6in. stock

Lest we completely overlook reporting
the entertainment of the Oregon Florists
Club at their last monthly meeting, let it
be said that with the aid of corn cob
pipes, etc., and the singing by Walter
Jenkins, the seemingly impossible was ac-
complished, namely getting the florists to
sing. The evening was a decided success.
It can be said right here that they did
sing; all the whiskey tenors, Apple cider
baritones and Italian red bassos, as Mr.
Jenkins termed them.

Wholesalers report that in addition
to stock being extremely scarce, prices
are correspondingly high. Eoses and Car-
nations have been short, which is also
true of Violets, Lily of the Valley and or-
chids. Freesias are in over supply for
the first time in several years. The con-
tinuous heavy rains we have had have
slowed down the retail trade.

The Japanese Barberry

One of the News Service leaflets from
Cornell University, N. T., puts in a
■stron" plea for the Japanese Barberry,
Berheris TTmntergii. Few houses, it B
said, are made as attrachve as might be
through the use of hedges and, for tUM
purpose, the Barberry is strongly, recom-
mended. Reference is made to its ea«
culture from seeds in addition to its rapW
growth, hardiness and beauty of foliage
and berry, late in the year.

Sash Operating Device and Greenhouse
- Fittings

Did you ever stop and notice this cut of
the big Advance Sash Operator 7 Just at
a glance you see a neatly constructed
operator. Then, starting to look, you see a
well built machine plate with worm and
gear, then you see a good heavy chain
made of the best steel. The hand wheel
shows mechanical construction in strong-
ness and appearance. Then, going to the
top of the machine, examine the roller
pipe bearing, the strong but neatly de-
signed sprocket wheel, the angle bracket
and other parts. Well, the arms and
hangers you notice are made for years' use.

Now that you have noticed each and
every part, just picture it in your new or
old house. Wouldn't it make a difference ?
Something that gives years of satisfactory
service. All up-to-date florists know the
importance of proper ventilation and,
therefore, select this unequaled device.
Sixteen years devoted to this line means
we have a device that is well worth in-
spection.

We caimot explain how much time and
trouble our greenhouse fittings will save
you, for there isn't enough space on this
page. You know our line, however, and
can see what they mean to you.

Our catalog gives further and more de-
tailed information. Just take one minute
of your valuable time and write us for

This Week's Money Making Wrinkles

Order your requirements in Cannas,
tuberous Begonias, Gloxinias and Ca-
ladiums. If you have to purchase Carna-
tions, get the rooted cuttings now, or
place your order for what you want.
Stock up with your accessories for St.
Valentine's Day. Almost anything in the
way of annuals for Spring flowering can
be sown now; a good time for the sowing
of perennials also. Fill up the empty
benches with Spring stock, Geraniums,
Fuchsias, Lantanas, Heliotrope and Sal-
vias._ Sow more Pansies and English
Daisies; Verbenas can also be sown.
Purchase small Begonias for growing on
and if you have room, use it for young
Boston ferns. Pot grown Hydrangeas
started slowly now, will prove a good in-
vestment for April and May flowering.
Dormant Roses should be potted up for

Spring sales ; keep them in a cold-
frame.

If you have plenty of stock plants of
bedding lines with a lot of cuttings on,
keep on propagating while you have bot-
tom heat and offer your surplus, if it is
good, in the "Florists' Exchange," that
ia, if you want best results.

NURSERY WRINKLES

Plant lovers are told to plan dxu-ing
Winter months. Are you doing the same ?
If your advertising ever stopped — though
it should not — now is the time to resume
it as a part of your planning for Spring
sales. Early orders are urged and ap-
preciated by all nurserymen, but you
cannot hope to receive them unless you
advertise early — and late. Use these
columns to sell what you have and buy
what you want to replenish your stock.

Mr. W. L. Ferguson, Smiths Falls, Ontario, un-
der date of Dec. 2d, 1919, writes us the following
in regard to our Petunias:

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you.
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about 8 per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quality each year."

Mr. Rudolf Nagel, Lancaster, Pa., under date
of Dec. 14, 1919, writes ua:

"I had last year just a few of your Petunias,
but I am sure I could have sold thousands of them.
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of my expectation."

tinue to wear a broad smile ; everything

scarce and Carnations are quoted at lOc.

is Springlike. The growers have no rea-
son to complain, although, of course, their
supply is limited, but as soon as stock in-
creases it is to be hoped that demand
comes with it, and that publicity will
avert the usual heavy slump in prices.
Roses are coming in in fine quality, es-
pecially Premier, Russell and Milady ; Co-
lumbia, however, is not arriving in as
good <iuality as the above named varie-
ties. Some good Valley and Cattleyas are
seen on the counters. Good specimens of
Cyclamen, Cinerarias and Begonias are
seen at the wholesalers' in order to boost
the plantsmen. The shipping trade is
keeping up well.

Worcester's (Mass.) Great Fire

Worcester's epidemic of fires, which
greatly alarmed that city Wednesday, Jan,
19, and seriously threatened to wipe out
the entire business district, caused dam-
age in excess of §2,000,000. Stores not
affected by actual fire loss suffered to a
considerable extent through a complete
stoppage of business due to the roping off
of a large area of Main st. for three days,
with all traffic suspended.

The original fire broke out in the seven-
story Knowles building, 51S Main st., com-
pletelj' destroying that structure; it then
leaped across the street to the Saiv^er
building, accomplishing its destruction
also. In this building was located the
establishment of Estabrook & Luby, flo-
rists, one of the larger florist shops of the
city. This shop is completely wiped out,
including all its records^ and was only par-
tially covered by insurance. Mr. Luby's
loss is a heavy one, he having spent a
great deal of time and morey in building
lip a substantial flower shop and business.
Harry I. Randall has tendered every fa-
cility of his store to Mr, Luby in the
emergency, a characteristic action.

The store of H. A. Littlefield was barely
out of the fire zone, and it was due in no
small measure to the heroic efforts of the
local fire department, assisted by appara-
tus from outside towns and from Boston,
that this and other shops were not de-
stroyed.

Although there were 26 fires raging in
this city at one time it has yet to be
proved that any were of incendiary origin;
all reports in the press of outside cities
that firebugs and Reds are operating in
Worcester are absolutely without founda-
tion. Worcester nas no Reds, no indus-
trial disturbances worthy of the name, and
is absolutely free of firebug gentry.

GREENHOUSES

Wide houses make big gables. To be good gables they must be held
rigid and not cast too much shade. Notice the steel posts — six in all, not
counting the corner posts.

All these posts go down below the frost line to a concrete base, then up
through the cement wall and are bolted to the steel and roof rafters.

Being held firmly top and bottom, the point that would spring is therefore
in the middle.

The middle line is just about over the top of the doors at the first gable
purlin.

At this point we put diagonal braces, extending from the intersection of
the first purlin and posts to the intersection of the roof purlins and rafters.

The gable, therefore, can neither blow in nor blow out, and is what we
started out to get — a rigid gable.

When you think of good greenhouses, think of King.

Strout^s Late Start and Early Winning

Whenever I think of Mr. Strout, of Biddeford, Maine,
I always think of a contradiction.

Let me explain. Mr. Strout was a school superinten-
dent for what most folks think is the best years of a man's
life. Seldom does a man at that age tackle anything new
and make much of a success.

Mr. Strout's innate love of flowers, backed by Mrs.
Strout's urge, prompted him to build "a little shack of a
greenhouse," as he called it. TTien followed one of our
small houses, and before you knew it, a flock of larger ones.

Today, when you mention Strout's name, at once every-
body knows it means "Strout of Maine," who has won
such a reputation as a grower and developer of Carnations.

You who have had the rare pleasure (and such it is)

to know this man, have no difficulty in figuring cut the
basic reason for his success. Determination is written all
over it.

Then if you could meet his wife, you would promptly
appreciate what her sunshine and counsel has meant.

Here, then, is a team. A man can tackle almost any-
thing at almost any time of life, if he is mated and part-
nered up right, like Mr. Strout.

So, if you think for a minute that you are, ma/hap, a
little too old to tackle bigger things, just take a leaf from
Strout's book.

When it comes to talking over the building end, say
when and where and we'll be there.

Thirtieth Annual Meeting and Exhibition

American Carnation Society

Washington. D. C.

January 26 and 27

raHE convention is over, and all who took part in it
have scattered to their respective homes to re-
sume the various duties they set aside for the
purpose of visiting Washington.

Comparisons are, it is said, odious, yet it is only by
comparison that vvc are able to decide whether we are
making progress.

It may be said right av\'ay tliat the convention just
closed compared favorably with any of its predecessors.
True, the extent of the e.xhibition was not equal to those
of the days before war laid its blighting hand upon all
industries in general, nor was the attendance at the busi-
ness meetings as large but, both as regards the quality
of the flowers exhibited, and the interest displayed at
:the meetings, the 1921 convention at Washington loses
nothing by comparison. The exhibition hall, while not
spacious, was sufliciently large, although more tables
would have permitted a
wider spacing of the vases.
The small amount of nat-
lural top light was not
greatly augmented by the
screened artificial illumi-
nation and at night the ef-
fect was somewhat
somber. The judges on
many occasions carried the
vases to the windows ;
and, in most instances,
they found it necessary to
stand the vases on the
floor, owing to the fact
that the flowers were rath-
er above their line of
vision. The difficulty of
securing tables sufficiently
low to permit one to look
down upon, rather than up
at the blooms, may never
'be overcome unless exhibi-
tion promoters provide
their own material, but the
desirability of it is recog-
inized by everyone when
jp 1 a i n, straightforward
:vases of bloom are under
survey. Decorative exhib-
its are not so much con-
cerned, for the purpose of
such is to show flowers at
every angle. Only one ex-
hibit at Washington came
under this heading; this
was made up by J. Harper
Hetherington, president of
the Washington Florists
Club, who, after the

judges had awarded the A. C. S. gold medal to the
wonderful vase of 100 blooms of Laddie (9354 points),
staged by S. J. Goddard, deftly worked them into a
basket, so that while every flower stood in water, no
evidence of that fact was apparent. This basket was
easily the most attractive feature of the show, and it
served to make many realize that the policy of vase
classes only is not calculated to educate one as to the
merits of Carnations for decorative purposes. True,
this would be less apparent if the blooms were really
set up instead of bundled into the vases so that every
flower is practically on the same plane.

With the wonderful stems that Carnations have, a
vase of 50 or 100 blooms could be set up so that each
would show its perfection or imperfections. This would
not hamper or mislead judges, rather otherwise, for
the flowers could be all the more readily examined. It
goes without saying that flowers so set up would call
for more space; it would not be possible to allocate a
vase of 50 blooms to less than 3ft. of table space, but
the effect would be pleasing, as it would remove the
impression that the flowers had been sheared over or

■ carefully patted into place.

The thought occurred to us, too, that the big growers
might better prove their abilities if they were given the
opportunity of putting up six or even twelve distinct
varieties in one class. Many groweVs handle a number

■ of varieties, and such classes would serve to bring for-

■ ward those that might never have a chance in the single
vase classes. Furthermore, such classes would give

, everyone an opportunity of exercismg their judgment in

■ color blending.

Effective color blending carries considerable weight,
for while engaged in pointing for quality, a good judge
1 always notes arrangement and blending, as this alone
may prove the deciding factor.

At the recent American Carnation Society Exhibition

Ancient and modem, a comparison showing the advance made in some 20 years. The varieties are "Laddie" and "Mra. Thomas W. Lawson.''

Comments on Varieties

The whites in the field were numerous, but as they
were not all opposing each other, close comparisons
were not possible. Strout's, Inc., would indeed have
required a lot of shifting in the 100 bloom class; White
Delight is truly a masterpiece and its appearance, late
on the second day, was not equaled by many other va-
rieties, whatever the color. Thos. C. Joy, from the
Joy Floral Co., Nashville, Tenn., is a bigger flower and
has some good points, but it had not traveled so well
as its Northern rival.

No words are needed to emphasize the beauties of
Laddie. Both S. J. Goddard and Wm. Sim, showed it
in great form. Denver, a new pale pink from Geo.
Brenkert, Denver, Col., had no chance against the great
Laddie, and it had to take second place in the 100.
Denver has merit ; it has form, stem and calyx, and
certainly has it on Enchantress, but in these days color
is an asset. Denver is just a little too pale for ordinary
tastes, although it gained the S. A. F. bronze medal
with 86 points. Its lasting qualities may be gauged from
the distance it had traveled.

Morning Glow is pleasing; just enough dainty color-
ing to offset the paler base. It appears to be distinct
from any and, as a shipper, it stands up in great shape.

Democracy, as shown by Gude Bros., was too good
for Morning Glow, it being the winner in the 100 class
for light pink. Democracy will be in the class of great
Carnations, as soon as it is shown with a greater stiff-
ness in stem. Mrs. C. W. Ward is still a challenger;
grown well it has only one real rival in its color, namely
Mrs. C. W. Ward Improved, as shown by Strout's, Inc.
Whether a seedling, sport, or a selection, the judges

fine to be shown against Mrs. C. W. Ward in the class
calling for that variety. Anyway, the new Mrs. Ward
has it on the old, although the latter can give plenty
present day varieties a lead when it comes to quality.

Lassie showed plenty of color, vivid cerise pink, al-
most scarlet, and size too, but alas, she hung her head
despondently. Rosalia, which also comes in the same
color class, certainly is wonderful in all respects, and
Lassie had no chance against this towering giantess.

Belle Washburn was variable but there were some
fine vases of it, although in the 100 class she was ousted
by Eureka and Happy Day. Both these scarlets are
wonderfully fine. The first named is perhaps stiffer in
petal and more fringed while, in many instances, it
shows the white stigma effectively. Dorner & Sons'
own blooms of Happy Day turned up late in the after-
noon of the second day, as did Baur & Steinkamp's
Edna. If the latter had
got through in time, there
would probably have been
a readjustment in some of
the awards. Cut on Sat-
urday, packed on Monday
morning, Edna became
stranded with her compan-
ions somewhere on the
road, arriving on Thurs-
day afternoon, yet she
came out smiling, most of
the flowers at 10 p.m.
looking as if just cut. It
has plenty of petalage and
stem. Harvester, the new
white from Indianapolis,
too, was in almost equal
shape. Two other new va-
rieties that traveled in the
same case were a clear
rosy pink sport of En-
chantress Supreme, and
Red Rosalia. The latter
was hardly in such good
shape.

Equally unfortunate was
No. 135, an exquisite sal-
mon pink which traveled
with Dorner's Happy Day
from Lafayette, Ind. In
artificial light, 135 seems
deeper than Laddie, but
not so large.

Another in the salmon
pink class was Siren,
shown by H. C. G.
Schwarz, Central Park,
N. Y. In build this re-
minded one of Lady

Northcliffe but the color is richer.

Maine Sunshine was represented by one vase only.
It was in great shape the first day, but the draught from
the doorway made some of the blooms curl a little on
the second day.

Fairy, shown by Wm. Sim, is paler than Benora, but
The Lark, shown by S. J. Goddard, is slightly paler, the
pencilling being finer. It appeared to have the imprint
of "class" and it needed no long consideration to decide
its superiority. Touching upon whites again, keep an
eye on white Benora. It has all the qualities of its
parent, and certainly has it on Matchless.

Crystal White, as shown by Strout's, was a shade too
good for Sim's White Benora, but there was not much
in it. Good old White Wonder, too, was in excellent
shape.

Edward Winkler's No. 4 is a rival to the Improved
Mrs. Ward. Smaller, perhaps, but good enough to win
a C. of M. No. 11, from the same raiser, is one of
those half and half colors, white with just a flushing
of pink in the petals.

Strout's Rosalind, which gained the S. A. F. silver
medal, with 89 points, is, after Morning Glow, but
deeper and larger; decidedly good.

The Herald, scarlet, and Doris, deep crimson, were
each represented in fair form, and the vases of seed-
lings shown by R. E. Wadsworth, Northboro, Mass.,
were decidedly interesting. These were not for compe-
tition. The small heavily splashed pink on white, is
after the style of some of the fancy colored sorts popu-
lar in England. A good salmon and a rich pink was
also noted.

Red Head, represented by one vase, was not in the
evidently thought Mrs. C. W. Ward Improved was toobest of condition. Its companion, Red Matchless, was

VICK QUALITY ASTER SEED

The Recognized Standard Wherever Asters Are Grown

James Vick's Sons has introduced practically all of the best commercial varieties of Asters now in use, including Vick's Branch-
ing Asters, all of the Rochesters, Mikados, Royals, Imperials, Kings and many others. Some of our most recent introductions are:
Heart of France, the new red Aster, Peerless Yellow and Silvery Pink. No other concern with which we are acquainted lavishes
so much effort, expense and time in keeping the quality of the stock unapproachable. Over three thousand individual plant selec-
tions were made this past season. Never before have our Asters in general been more satisfactory than this year. Of course, no one
can expect us to compete in price with the Asters from Europe, or sections of this country where Asters are grown cheaply in bulk.
Our reputation is built on QUALITY and not on quantity. Cheaper seed can be grown elsewhere, but better seed nowhere else.

declared by the jikIkcs to be wrongly named as, in their
opinii'ii. it is not a sport of Matcliless. As shown by
Glide Bros. Co., it is a j;ood-sized Hower. with the bnild
of ilatchless. Spring Glory, a deep cerise pink, may
be worth watchins and KcsoUite. a bis white with some
staying powers, is likely to be heard of again, althongh
this and Spri[ig Glory failed to score in the medal class.
Both were shown by H. C. G. Schwarz.

Donald, like all crimsons, needed something to lighten

and he assnred them that the .30 or more miles of
drives around the city would disclose much that would
interest.

Theodore Dorner briefly replied on behalf of the
.\merican Carnation Society.

At the recent American Carnation Society Exliibition

The Lark, the best vase of 100 blooms, white variegated, as shown by S. J. Goddard

Packed close in the vase, it was just a dark
. ith glints of scarlet where the light caught it.
If we may express an opinion, the Dorner medal would
assuredly have missed t)onald, had Edna appeared on
time,

Hartje & Elder of Indianapolis had a big pink, raised
by crossing a pink seedling with Mrs. Ward. Only a
few flowers were shown, but they pleased the judges.
Ruth Baur, evidently, has some relationship to Edna.
Plenty of body in the flower and staying power no end.
Coombs the Florist showed it in fine shape. Ethel
Fisher, shown by W. D. Howard, is certainly among
present day scarlets.

Poor old Beacon looked sad among the bevy of
newer scarlets, while Mrs. Thos. W. Lawson looked al-
most fuimy. The judges considered this vase as shown
by W. W. Thompson Co.. West Hartford, Conn., as
of special interest for comparison.

The Texas class brought only three entries. Two of
these were White Delight, the other the pale pink Den-
ver. White Delight, grown and shipped by Strout's. Inc.,
gained the prize and the flowers were decidedly good.

S. J. Goddarti showed a vase of blooms that had been
64 hours on the road, but the Baur & Steinkamp seed-
lings far exceeded this and came through smiling.

Anyone who considers Carnations are poor shippers
had better take a few lessons in packing. There is
nothing wrong with Carnations at all ; it's much a mat-
ter of growing and packing.

Sundry Exhibits

White Sunburst Rose, shown by White Bros., Medina,
N. Y., was in splendid shape. Not exactly pure but
still white. It will be in request by many.

J. A. Peterson & Sons, Cincinnati, brought along some
wonderfully fine salmon Cyclamen, decidedly superior to
the average. Several plants of Peerless Begonia also
were shown. These were a mass of flowers despite the
fact that they started to bloom in October.

A vase of Sweet Pea, Miss Jeanie Mamitsche, grown
by Herman Mamitsche, Rockville Center, N. Y., was
staged by Roman J. Ii tvin. This fine sport of Rose
Queen was described in uur re lort of the January meet-
ing of the New York Florists Club.

The Gasser Co., Cleveland, s aged a big vase of Bud-
dleia asiatica. It was overfiowmg with fragrance.

The Business Meetings

Vice-President Grillbortzer opened the proceedings at
8 p.m. on Wednesday by introducing Wm. F. Gude, who
made a brief address of welcome on behalf of the
Washington Florists Club and the Washington Chamber
of Commerce. He described some of the beauties of
Washington and urged all to make an effort to see the
city and its surroundings. Cars were at their disposal

secretary's and treasurer's re-
well received. The financial
statement showed the so-
ciety in a sound position.
The total receipts, includ-
ing balance from 1920 and
Dorner Memorial Fund,
amounted to $4231.38; the
disbursements, in all di-
rections, being $3175.37.

No further additions
were made to the report
on grading Carnations as
published in the last an-
nual report.

Plant Patents

C. S. Strout spoke on the
question of plant patents,
as follows: "After caret
fully studying the matter
as regards Carnation
growers, it is felt that at
present no necessi,ty exists
or is generally desired for
this action." This report
was unanimously adopted
after several expressions
of opinion regarding the
possibility of plant patents.
Wallace R. Pierson de-
scribed how Stark Bros,
of Louisiana, have safe-
guarded their interests in
regard to the Golden De-
licious Apple. Purchasers
of this ^■a^iety are under
bond not to propagate it,
nor sell buds or grafts.
The National Flower Shovp

S. J. Goddard submitted a proposed schedule for Car-
nations at the National Flower Show at Cleveland, 1932.
Secretary Baur referred to the fact that many felt that
their regular meeting e-xhibitions were too formal and
they were therefore proposing more decorative classes
for the Cleveland show.

Wm. Gude stated that one of the failings of the ordi-
nary shows was that the tables were too high.

Annual Dues Now S3

The question of annual dues was brought forward,
and it having been elicited from the secretary that the
present dues were only just sufilcicnt to meet expenses,
leaving nothing for progressive action, it was unani-
mously agreed that the dues be raised to $3. The secre-
tary explained that this rule could not well be instituted
this year as many had already paid, but it was resolved
that if found necessary, members be approached for
additional support.

Miscellaneous Business

A telegram from John H. Dunlop. Richmond Hill,
Ont., was read. Unexpected business calls had pre-
vented his coming to Washington.

A letter from Secretary John Young of the S. A. F.
was read. This related to the readiness of the S. A. F.
to cooperate with the A. C. S. in regard to giving
awards to miscellaneous exhibits staged at the A. C. S.
exhibitions. A resolution was passed that judges be
appointed to operate on such exhibits.

Next Meeting Place

.Almost before President C. W. Johnson had con-
cluded his remarks regarding the meeting place for i922,
Wallace R. Pierson leaped to his feet and put forward
such an eloquent plea on behalf of Hartford, Conn.,
that one instinctively felt that Hartford had it. Mr.
Pierson explained that a new hotel of great size was
being built in that citj', and the proprietor was prepared,
if necessary, to reserve 400 rooms, a hall for the show
and a meeting room. He read several letters and also
explained that the National Flower Growers .Associa-
tion would be similarly invited, and that the Commercial
Section of Rose Growers would, through the special
committee of the American Rose Society, which watches
the cut flower interests, stage exhibits, so that . real
big business could be assured. It was proposed that the
combined convention operate for three days.

W. H. Sheppard, on behalf of the Florists Club and
Chamber of Commerce of Cincinnati, O., earnestly in-
vited the society to hold its next convention at Cin-
cinnati, a city possessing every facility and attraction
for such a meeting. Both nominations were ably sec-
onded.

No further invitations being tendered, President John-
son announced that the selection for the 1922 meeting
place would be decided Thursday morning.
Nomination of Officers

Theodore Dorner, in a few words, nominated W. D.
Howard of Milford, Mass. No other names were sub-
mitted. The nomination of vice-president w-as held
over until after the next place had been decided. Secre-

WE are now beginning our forty-fifth year in the seed business and cannot help but feel gratified at the
large following of customers that our many years of faithful service have brought us. The fact that
our customers come to us year after year proves that our seeds have been satisfactory, and that
has always been our aim — to supply seeds of such high quality that those who buy them will be perfectly
satisfied with the results they produce and come back for more the next year.

Then, too, a satisfied customer tells his friends about the excellent results he has had with our seeds and
more buyers are added to our lists as a result. That is how our business has grown. We have striven to
always supply the best seeds — our customers have done our advertising. To our satisfied patrons we would
say that our service in the future will be of the same high class as it has been in the past, and to those who
have never purchased seeds from us we say, give us a trial — you will then join the ranks of those who have
bought from us for years, and to whose faithful advertising we owe the success of our business.

Burpee's
Sweet peas

THERE is always a readj; demand for good Sweet Peas. Well grown flowers
realize most remunerative prices, and it is doubtful if any other crop will
bring the florist greater profits, considering the outlay for stock and the
ease with which the crop is handled.

To ensure flowers of highest quality and at a time before the market is
glutted with ordinary stock, the seed should be sown during January or February
m pots. Start them in a cool house or even a coldframe, and so have first-class
sturdy plants for setting out in the open field early in April. This method will
give you flowers in late May, and much superior to those sown directly in the open.

When ordering ask for our leaflet on Sweet Pea culture.

The House of Burpee is recognized the world over as American headquarters
for Sweet Peas. Burpee's Sweet Peas are grown and developed on Floradale
Farms, our Cahfomia seed ranch, and our strains are unsurpassed for high-class
quality and "trueness" to type and color.

Good Sweet Pea seed is scarce this season, due to short crops, and as our
stocks of some varieties are limited, we suggest early ordering.

The following list includes only such varieties as we know to be of value
for market work. For fuller descriptions and classified list of all varieties, in-
cluding many novelties now offered for the first time, write for Burpee's Annual^
which is sent free on application.

Notes from Abroad

Al last ii little Wintry wcutluT c-an be
recorded which has, \ve hope, arrived just
iu time to check the mistaKou exuberance
of tlie Snowdrops, Violets, Primroses and
other vernal species, and to bring Winter
husbandry more into its normal groove.

The seed-selling season is advancing, but
>alei^ are, so far, hardly up to the hopes
and expectations of holders of heavy
Stocks. Ofi'ers of a kaleidoscopic character
continue to come in and quotations vary
sutficiently to allay any impression of dead
monotony. However, we shall soon be bet-
ter able to size up the situation.

Continental growers report only a small
deuumd for white Onion seed, but an ac-
tive one for the yellows and reds. As
the bulbs are fetching a good price, the

Elantations for next season are likely to
e somewhat restricted. Radish seed is
going well and fetching a good price, so
that growers feel encouraged to devote
considerable acreage to it the coming sea-
son. Dealings in ijeek seed are very quiet,
and the rush season for agricultural seeds
has hardly yet commenced.

The latest official appointment is that
of G. W. Leak, the highly capable man-
ager of Bath's, Ltd., Wisbech, to represent
the horticultural industry on the newly
constituted British Board of Agriculture.

New York Seed Trade

Nearly every seed store in this city
has issued its 1921 general seed catalog.
Among the most recent of these is that
of Dietz & Trivett Co., 86 Park Place.
Weeber & Don expect to send out theirs
next week. Orders for flower seeds for
florists' ilse are coming steadily and in
increasing numbers ; vegetable seeds for
sowing under glass are also meeting with
a steadily increasing demand. These
orders are coming mostly by mail, so far ;
there is little counter demand, but prepa-
ration for it is steadily going on in all
stores.

Vaughan's Seed Store will have ready
next week its several catalogs and lists,
namely, "Seed Trade List," "Florist's
Book," "Gardener's List," "General Cata-
log" ; J. C. Vaughan came into the city
from Chicago on Wednesday of last week
and is spending this week in town.

Robert MacNiff of the MacNiff Horti-
cultural Co., who has been spending a
few weeks in Miami, Fla., returned on
Saturday of last week.

The small surplus in cold storage
Lilium giganteum bulbs is a marked,
though not alarming, feature in the Lily
bulb market.

Dealers in plants of commercial size
and in rooted cuttings of the same sorts
report a pronounced shortage in the pre-
ferred varieties of rooted Carnation cut-
tings up to this date, but are in hopes
that a larger supply may be forthcoming
a little later.

Roman J. Irwin returned from Wash-
ington, D. C. on Saturady of last week.
During his stay there he, of course, at-
tended the Carnation convention, and re-
ports that in his opinion both the con-
vention doings and the exhibits were
interesting. While talking with Mr. Ir-
win we noted on the walls of his private
office some recently hung results of his
annual fishing and hunting trips, namely,
a four foot salmon, beautifully mounted
on an inlaid placque, and an 11-point
buck deer head.

We regret to learn, just as we are goint;
to press, of the death of A. C. NelUs, long
fonnected with the seed business, and at
the time of his death a salesman at Max
drilling's seed store.

Chicago Seed Trade

The W. W. Barnard Co. held a very
successful poultry exhibition in its store
rooms and baserment the past week.

Silver cups donated by the company were
offered as premiums in many of the
classes. There was a large attendance
every day and evening, and much interest
was manifested by the public in the ex-
hibition.

Geo. Ball, the well-known Aster and
Sweet Pea grower of Glen Ellyn, 111., has
this season placed on the market the seed
of his new Aster that he calls Ball's
White Aster. This is being disseminated
by the leading seed houses of the city.
It is a splendid Giant Aster of the late
branching type — the product of 12 years
selection, perfectly double, and of flaw-
less color.

John Elzinga, of the National Bulb
Farms, Benton Harbor, Mich., is in the
city, and reports a good demand for
Gladiolus bulbs. Several large plantings
of Narcissus bulblets that were put in
company's farms put in last Fall willbe
watched with much interest the coming
season.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports the ar-
rival in good condition of Tuberose and
Caladium bulbs from the South. The
weather during January has been ideal
for the movement of such stock. Ed.
Goldenstein has returned from a trip to
the Northwest reporting splendid busi-
ness. Florists' stock wherever seen was
looking well, and all are preparing for a
season of great business.

The annual Midwinter executive ses-
sion of the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers*
Ass'n was held at the Congress Hotel,
Jan. 24 and 25, with a large represen-
tation of the trade. Only members of
the association were admitted to the
meetings. The election of officers will
to be held at the annual convention in
St. Louis next June.

There are many Holland bulb salesmen
in the city, all of whom find it difficult
to book orders immediately. There is a
determination on the part of one large
house, however, to break the deadlock
and place orders promptly. Prices are
lower than a year ago and there is not
much to be gained by further delay.

A. Henderson & Co. are introducing
a new giant flowering, non-lateral Aster
this season. This is featured on the
front page of the retail catalog, and it is
said to possess real merit. It was se-
lected in California last Summer from
many other types grown in that country
by John Degnan, while on a visit there.
The flowers have been cut with stems
ranging from 18in. to 2ft. long.

M. Monblatt, of the American Bulb
Co.. has returned from a very successful
trip through Wisconsin and Michigan.
He says the trade is buying freely and
in all sections visited is looking for a
splendid year of business. Cannas are
moving well. The house has had so
many complimentary letters from cus-
tomers who bought Ferd Fischer's Cy-
clamen seed last year that a strong cam-
paign for the sale of the Fischer seed is
planned for this season, too.

The Seed Tariff Hearing

Furtlier Opinions Expressed Before
House Committee — A Correction

In the issue of The Florist's Ex-
change, due to a stenographic error
made in our Washington office, state-
ments made by Kirby B. White, vice-
president of D. M. Ferry & Co., of De-
troit were attributed to J. C. Vaughan,
of Vaughan's Seed Store, Chicago,. All
concerned regret the error which occurred
in the rush of endeavoring to get the
material in shape on the eve of going to
press.

The following is the request of the
American Seed Trade Ass'n, that present
specific method of assessing duties on
garden seeds and bulbs remain unchanged,
as presented by Mr. Vaughan before the
House Ways and Means Committee.

"Our Association, representing prac-
tically all the importing garden seedsmen.

is united in asking that the present spe-
cific method of assessing duties on garden
seeds and bulbs be retained. There are
divisions among us as to the exact rates
of duty, but none as to method. We ask
that this specific form be retained. It
was instituted under a Republican admin-
istration after careful consideration by
Senator Aldrich and two New York Cus-
tom House experts with lifelong experi-
ence ; the method has been and still is
continued by the Democrats under the
Underwood Tariff.

"We do not anticipate any intent to
return to the ad valorem method and have
brought this before you only because the
newspapers have suggested the possi-
bility of returning to the Dingley Tariff.
Now the ad valoi-em feature of that and
the preceding tariffs did not fit the seed
importations, as Senator Aldrich conceded
through the reports of his expert ap-
praisers.

"I am prepared to answer questions ex-
plaining this more fully, should the com-
mittee desire. If there should be any ef-
fort made to do away with specific duties,
I ask that our full committee be given a
hearing."

Following this formal statement, Mr,
Vaughan, continued the discussion as fol-
lows, this being the matter we were un-
able to report in detail last week.

"Take the biennial crops like Beet
seed, which must be bought two years
in advance in different parts of Europe ;
the buyer does not in the least know
what the selling price is going to
be, and if we have an ad valorem duty
the buyer does not know what he is going
to have to pay, as he does not know what
the price is going to be. The goods are
shipped to New York, and then some two
years after he has bought them he se-
cures his goods, and then he is told what
the duty is."

"Where do most of the bulbs imported
into the United States come from," in-
quired Congressman Timberlake of Colo-
rado."

"Large quantities come from Holland,"
the witness replied. "Quite a few of the
bulbs which are grown in water, and
which you see in vases sold at the de-
partment stores come from the South of
France. Quite a few LUies come from
Japan and some from Bermuda."

"The rates in the Underwood law as
compared with the rates in the Payne
tariff law are from 25 to 50 per cent
less," remarked Chairman Pordney. "For
instance, under the Payne Act, duty on
Beets ( except Sugar Beets ) , Carrots,
Corn Salad, Parsley, Parsnips, Radish,
Turnips, and Rutabagas was 4c. a pound ;
under the Underwood Act, 3c. per pound ;
Cabbage, CoUards, Kale, and Kohl-rabi
seed under the Payne law was 8c. per
pound ; under the Underwood law, 6c. per
pound. Eggplant and Pepper seed
under the Payne law was 20c. per
pound ; under the Underwood law, 10c.
per pound. Seeds of all kinds not es-
pecially provided for in this section, 10c.
per pound under the Payne law and 5e.
per pound under the Underwood law."

"I estimated it roughly at 25 per cent,"
said Mr. Vaughan.

"The minimum is 25 and the maximum
is 50 per cent reduction under the Under-
wood law," said Mr. Fordney. "The
rates provided for under the Payne law
were specific."

"The seedsmen were too glad to get
this relief in the method of computing
their costs, you understand, to stand
on a question of 2c. less," declared Mr.
Vaughan.

"Let me ask you about bulbs," said Mr.
Fordney. "Do we produce in this coun-
try the bulbs that are used, or many
kinds of bulbs ; do we produce them in
any quantities in this country?"

Mr. Vaughan : — *'We do not have at
present the skilled labor and are not
sure of our soil in that matter. An at-
tempt was made in California, which
was a failure, as near as I can find out.
The concern went into bankruptcy. It
was North of San Francisco."

Chairman Fordney: — "That was C. W.
Ward. The Industry did not fail so much
as it was the failure of the man. Under
the administrator's management, I
understand that that property is making
a much greater success than Mr. Ward
made, and that it is producing consider-
able quantities of bulbs. I do not know
how much success they are having, do
you ?"

Mr. Vaughan : — "I do not." Because
of the mix-up in the receivership we
have not felt safe in buying technical
things under technical names. We have
felt uncertain about it. We know

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

that the Hyacinths produced during Mr.
Ward's lifetime were not satisfactory, nor
were certain Tulip bulbs.

(That the bulb growing efforts upon
the C. W. Ward property at Eureka have
finally proved an entire failure is definite-
ly indicated by the recent sale of this
phase of the ward activities to a resident
of another state^ as already reported in
the columns of the Exchange. — Ed.)

"He attempted to raise tuberous Be-

gonias, which are under ban of the Fed-
eral Horticultural Board. These are not
allowed to come in here at all, and could
be sold very readily if Mr. Ward could
supply them. We can not use them be-
cause we are not certain .about them.
We cannot take chances where so much
depends upon colors and kinds."

"I would like to add this statement for
your consideration, if you are not familiar
with it," said Congressman Hadley of

Washington. "The Government owna a
farm, a bulb farm in my own county in
the State of Washington. And it grows
some of the best bulbs that we produce,
and grows those which the Government
here distributes, and which, I think, are
as good as are grown anywhere in the
world. That land has been especially
tested and there is no question about its
adaptability."

"I have heard that bulbs can be pro-
duced in the State of Washington," re-
plied Mr. Vaughan. "We have bought
some from there, mostly Gladioli bulbs,
which can be produced in the West, but
they are cheap and very heavy, and the
freight on them is very expensive, I be-
lieve that applies to aU the commoner
kinds of Tulips.

"If we can get skilled propagators and
the right prices, it is possible that this
country can grow them, but the prac-
ticability of this is not so much a ques-
tion of producing them as of the freight
rate encountered ip getting them across
to the East.

Mr. Vaughan then took up in detail
the Legislation Committee as reported in
bill, calling attention to an error al-
ready referred to by the S. A. F. TarilE
and legislation committee are reported in
The Exchange. E. a. D.

A $500,000 Boulevard for English
City

We read that Sir Jesse Boot, whose
great chain of cash drug stores was re-
cently purchased by the United Drug Co.,
I has presented his home city of Notting-
I ham with £100,000 for the purpose of
building a boulevard between that city
and Beeston. The boulevard is to be
about two miles long, 150ft. wide, and
heavily planted with trees and orna-
mental shrubs. The scheme includes a
pleasure park, bandstand and ornamental
lake.

There's many a good opportunity for
people of wealth to plan a similar gift
over here.

WORK.

Buddleias

If you had a few plants of Buddleia
asiatica to cut from during January you
bad a chance to appreciate this beautiful
little flower with its delightful odor.
No matter how many Stevias you grow,
you will always find good use for a few

Slants of these Buddleias if you retail
owers. Old plants, or such as have been
cut down can be placed in a cool home
by April ; there will be plenty of cuttings
on them which root as easily as_ Geran-
iums. You can grow them in pots
during Summer and plant out on a Car-
nation bench next Fall. They will have
to be pinched several times and will start
to flower toward the end of December.
Buddleia variabilis or Summer Lilac is a
splendid thing to grow for every retail
florist, and while not hardy everywhere,
it is easily grown on from cuttings. If
you are snort on stock, purchase rooted
cuttings or 2in. plants now; pinch once
and shift later on. Plant outdoors the
middle or end of May and yon will cut
flowers all Summer. Ideal for bouquets
and corsages.

The Propagating Bench

Keep the propagating bench full ; there
is every advantage now to root cuttings
of almost anything quickly, and without
loss. Some things of course need more
bottom heat than others, but practically
everything from a Carnation to Geran-
ium will root more freely and with a
smaller percentage of loss if given a little
bottom heat. If the propagating bench is
large enough, it_ can also be used to ad-
vantage for the forcing of a few Valley

pips, which with each succeeding week,
requires less attention in order to get them
into flower. Sufficient heat and moisture
are the main things to bring them on.
Some of the smaller seeds can also he
taken care of better when in flats or
pans on a warm propagating bench than
when placed underneath on the hot wa-
ter returns. If you have old Dracsena
terminalis and others with long canes,
cut the stems up into one inch long
pieces and place in sand with 70 degrees
bottom heat ; the top can also be rooted.
The old plants will break again from
below. Sideshoots on the variegated pan-
danus can also be removed now — placed
in the sand. Crotons, Ficus, in fact, al-
most anything cut off, will root now and
few will require shade.

Sweet Peas

If you should have an empty house on
band with solid beds and not less than
8ft. of head room above the beds. Sweet
Peas would form a good crop to grow.
Seed sown now would make flowering
plants for April and May, and they will
no doubt be the finest flower of all you
had during the season. For present and
later sowing, a solid bed is far better for
Sweet Peas than a bench when the soO
with heat below and above dries out too
much during the early Spring months.
The plants can withstand the hot days
better than the roots can go down into
the cool soil. For those who are not
ready to devote a bed to Sweet Peas now,
the seeds can be sown into 3%in. pots,
■from five to seven seeds to the pot,
thinning the plants later out to three.
Plants from seed sown the first week in

February, can remain in the pots until
the middle of March, but the sooner they
are planted out the better, for they start
to go back when once allowed to become
pot bound. Plant your rows North and
South wherever possible and, don't crowd
the plants ; this always is a bad mis-
take. Thickly sown Peas if not thinned
out, will often seed up first one shoot,
while a plant with plenty of room will
branch out from the base and do better
in every way.

Physostegias virginica

The Physostegias, both the light pink
and the white are desirable perennials for
the florist ; they last almost forever when
once established and the easiest way to
increase them is by division of the field
clumps. The flowers on 18in. long spikes
come in useful during the late Summer,
besides this, you can recommend them
as food subjects for the hardy border. If
you have no stock on hand, this is a good
time to sow seed ; the plants won't flower
this Summer, but next year will be at
their best.

Rudbeckia

While you are at ordering seeds for
some desirable perennials to be sown now,
you will do well to include Rudbeckia
Newmanni. While not a very showy, it
is a desirable cut flower. Another is Rud-
beckia purpurea ( Great Purple Cone
Flower). The flowers are almost 4in. in
diameter, come on long stiff stems and
adapt themselves spendidly for decoration
work during the end of August and Sep-
tember. They are also most showy in

the hardy border, due to their bright
coloring. If you have call for hardy
flowering plants, during the Spring
months, you can recommend both of these
Rudbeckias and grow on a good batch for
your own use.

Centaurea gymnocarpa

Centaurea gymnocarpa isn't used to the
great extent it was years ago as a border
for the Geranium beds, but it should still
be grown from now on by those who have
window boxes and vases to fill. Its femlike
silver gray foliage goes well with almost
any you make use of in a plant arrange-
ment. Especially with Geraniums. To ob-
tain plants of large enough size to be use-
ful for a window box, you should have at
least 3% or 4in. stock and such can not
be grown on in a few weeks. Sow some
seed now and grow the plants on in a
cool house.

Double Sweet Alyssum

While not a very important flower for
the florist, the double Sweet Alyssum is
still of value to many of us. Almost a
constant bloomer during Winter and
Summer, the flowers often come in useful
in design work and during the Summer
months few other plants will beat these
Alyssums as border plants. The present
is the time to start to propagate and work
up a good sized batch of 2%in. and 3%in.
pot. plant. You can also use them during
the Spring months in vases and window
boxes. Used in conjunction with other
trailing plants, such as Lobelia, Thun-
bergias or «Cupheas, they are just the
thing.

Catalogs Received

Currie Bros, Co., Milwaukee, Wis. — Farm and
garden annual recording 46 years of progress. An
excellent list which, while not startlingly novel,
compares well with many, A number of new
Sweet Peas, Chrysanthemmn max., Mayfield Giant,
Giant Salmon Scarlet Cyclamen, and double Pop-
pies from British raisers are among the novelties
offered. A full line of vegetable and flower eeeda

The D. Hill Nursery Co., Inc., Dundee, 111. —
Wholesale florists' catalog offering all kinds of ever-
greens and living out stock suitable for florists and
others who cater for a retail trade. A social slip
calls attention to the fact that substantial reduc-
tions have been made in the prices of specimen ever-
greens. The new silver Jumper, Junipenis scopu-
lorum, is one among the many good things offered.
This striking species carria the color of the blue
epruce and is thoroughly hardy. •

John A. Bruce & Co., Ltd., Hamilton, Can. —
The first Canadian seed catalog to reach us. With
colored covers and 128 pages, it embraces a mighty
array of seeds, plants, and sundries. This firm has
been established some 70 years, the founder, J._A.
Bruce, dying last year at the age of 91. Judging
by the list, the varieties of seeds favored by our
Northern friends are in keeping with what we are
familiar with. This concern does a large agricul-
tural seed trade. Shrubs, Roses, Gladioli, Dahlias
5nd an extensive collection of garden and truck-
farm tools are also described in detail. The catalog
is largely illustrated from photographs.

Woodlawn Nurseries, Rochester, N. Y.— For
45 years this concern has sought the attention of
garden lovers. Its long standing is proof of its
accomplishment. This catalog has a dainty appear-
ance, depicting as it does on the front cover, a gar-
den scene in colors. Peaches, Apples, Vegetables
and various flowers are shown on the back and
inside covers, all in color. Fruit trees are a spiec-
ialty, and a new Apple named Ohio Beauty is being
disseminated for the first time. All other fruits
including berries, are featured strongly. Nuts for
the North, ornamental trees of all kinds, flowering
flhrubs, Roses, hardy perennials. Dahlias, Gladioli,
snd a limited variety of seeds are described in the
64 pages. Illustrations are both good and
numerous.

E. E. Stewart, Brooklyn, Mich. — Wholesale
price list of Gladioli; a small folder listing with brief
aeacriptiona some three dozen varieties.

The DoW* Nurseries, North Epping, N. H. — A
small but comprehensive catalog of trees, small
fruits, shrubs, vines, plants and bulbs. This concern
in 1919 absorbed the Granite State Nurseries of
Durham, N. H., so that in its 80th year Dow'a
Nursery has materially increased its size and scope.
A guarantee as to trueness of stock is given with all
orders and, having been grown in the bleak uplands
of New Hampshire, all stock is reliably hardy.
Evergreens, ornamental shrubs and Roses are
■trongly featured.

Stumpp & Walter Co., Barclay St., N. Y. —

May truly be classed as one of the good things that
New York City produces. Some S in.xlO in., with
the front cover showing giant Zinnias, and the back
depicting Corn. Containing 144 pages, it is packed
with information regarding seeds and plants. Many
new and special varieties in vegetables and flowers
are offered, including Giant Bush Lima Beans,
Golden Plume Celery, Market Surprise Pea,
Autumn Glory Aster, Crested Cosmos, Hybrid
Delphiniums, Giant Nasturtium and Snowball
Dianthus. The general list is most complete and
special attention is given to farm seeds, while Glad-
ioli, Lilies, Dahlias, hardy perennials, Roses and
small fruits are all given prominence. The catalog
is finely illustrated throughout and is well printed.

George L. Stillman, Westerly, R. I. — Dahlias
of distinction for 1921. Consisting of 64 pages
with covers in natural color, this list is almost
wholly devoted to Dahlias, making it the most
comprehensive of its class. The only item offered
other than Dahlias is Sweet Corn, in which Mr.
Stillman takes a great interest, and he offers four
varieties. Much information regarding Dahlias
and their culture is given on the opening pages.
Among novelties. Cardinal Mercier, Commodore,
Biltmore, Murray Hill, Belmont and Ansonia are
noted. The latter five are offered as the New York
Group. Other groups of recent origin are the Sea
Lions, Fighting Ten and the Indian Family. It
is impossible here to mention all of even the most
recent; the general list runs into hundreds and
embraces every type and, when one realizes that
the bulk of them are Stillman seedlinga, one cannot
but admit but that this well known grower has
indeed a love for Dahlias.

G. Edward Schultz & Co., Tenth at., Wash-
ington, D. C. — An attractive seed catalog bearing
the imprint of "Class.". The front cover shows
Peas and Tomatoes, while the back represents
Zinnias. On a grey background these illustrations
stand out brilliantly. Vegetables and flowers in

with photo-cuts, and a plan for a home vegetable
garden is also given.

Frederick W. Eberle, Albany and Jamaica,
N. Y. — ^Eberle'e Seed Annual, 1921. In plain dark
blue cover with pages 8 in.xlO in., this catalog
induces more than a casual glance. Freely and
well illustrated, this list offers considerable variety
i n the way of vegetables and flower seeds. Peaa
are a specialty and many other special strains of
vegetables are offered. Flowers are well repre-
sented. Sweet Peas especially. Summer flowering
bulbs, bedding and vegetable plants, and sundries,

ket garden tools, are fully described.

list of 16 pages with stiff covers and devoted to
Dahlias. The West is fast becoming the home for
Dahlia specialists, and most of the varieties listed
in this booklet are by Californian raisers. Mr.
Lohrmann was awarded several gold, silver and
bronze medals for his seedlings at the Panama In-
ternational Exhibit, 1915.

F. C. Burns, San Rafael, Cal. — Another Dahlia
list from the West, but contains the names of but

{Continued from page 297)

James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y. — A com-
plete retail catalog showing on the front cover the
beautiful new Aster, Heart of France. An attrac-
tive vegetable garden is shown on the back cover,
while the inside covers depict a number of flowers
and vegetables. Many new and special varieties of
flowers and vegetables are given prominence on the
front pages, together with details concerning the
new La France Raspberry, Hailstorm Violet and
Amaryllis Peatree; the latter three are offered in
plants only. The reputation of Vick's seeds is well
known, but in addition to the seeds, a complete line
of hardy plants and bulbs is offered. Hardy shrubs,
vines, Roses and greenhouse plants are also offered.
Geo. Tait & Sons, Inc., Norfolk, Va. — A dis-
tinctive and tastefully gotten up catalog of some 130
pages, freely illustrated from actual photographs
and providing an unusually good description of all
varieties of vegetable and flower seeds offered.
While no really new things are listed, this catalog is
decidedly interesting and is worthy of the firm,
which is now in its 52d year.

Dietz & Trivett Co., New York City. — This
new concern is making a bid for some of the best
retail trade. The catalog before us, while not elab-
orate nor freely illustrated, contains a choice assort-
ment of vegetable and flower seeds, together with
farm and field seeds. Both members of this firm
are well known in the trade and while they e'^P"^^
the usual non-warranty, it is safe to say that ^■^.Y^^
goods they offer will have the stamp of reliability.
C. Louis Ailing, West Haven, Conn.— A usefu/
Dahlia catalog listing a large number of the most
recent introductions together with a good general
collectioo. All the varieties are well described.

Hurst & Son, Houndsditch, London, Eng.—
Trade catalog of vegetable and flower seeds. This
old, established wholesale house issues an excellent
descriptive list of all the leading varieties. Several
pages are devoted to novelties and specialties in-
cluding several new Peas. Cauliflowers and To-
matoes. Among flower seeds, special attention is
drawn to Chrysanthemum maximum, "Mayfield
Giant," Cyclamen Brilliant Salmon Scarlet, hybrid
Lupins, double hybrid Poppies, Giant Strep to-
carpus and several varieties of Sweet Peas. A
novelty of interest to florists is the new Wallflower
Golden ^lascott, a yellow replica of Vulcan.

Theodore Payne, Los Angeles, Calif. — A useful
garden guide of 64 pages, describing in detail a
large variety of vegetable and flower seeds. A new
variety of Tomato named Victory is given special
prominence, as is the Orange Marrow Pumpkin.
Numerous novelties and specialties in flower seeds
are described, including Bidens dahlioides; the
Blue Lace Flower under its true name, Didiscus
Coeruleus; Lupinus Paynei, a new species discovered
near Santa Susana, Calif.; double hybrid Poppy;
the Flanders Poppy; Tithonia Speciosa, the re-
markable so-called red Sunflower; and giant
picotee, DahUa flowered and several other special
types of Zinnias. California wild flower seeds are
mted in great variety together with tree and shrub
seeds. Eucalyptus in great variety, and palm seeds.
A comprehensive selection of nurserj' stock is of-
fered, including Roses, Dahlias, California riative
plants, including the rare Berberis Nevirdi and
ornamental trees and shrugs. New and standard
fruits are also described.

J. J. Broomall, Eagle Rock. Calif.— Dahlia
guide. A serviceable descriptive wholesale and re-
tail catalog of new and standard varieties of
Dahlias together with useful cultural hints. The
novelty Ambassador, a Cactus flowered salmon-pink
attracts our attention, because the selling price is
SuO. All types of Dahlias are described but Decora-
tive, Peony and hybrid Cactus appear to be the
most numerous.

Williams Seed Co., Norfolk, Va. — Featuring
colored covers, this "Information Book" describes
a large and varied collection of vegetable and
flower seeds suitable for the South and incidentally
other sections also. A number of special varieties
are given prominence and farm and grass seeds of
all descriptions are listed. Special attention should
be drawn to the new Lorraine Poppy, which ap-
pears to be a good strain of Shjxley. Summer
flowering bulbs including Lilies, Dahlias and
Gladioli, together with sundries of all descriptions,
are given space in this catalog.

Max Schling, Inc., New York City. — ^A Book
for Garden Lovers. An attractively illustrated
seed list of over 100 pages. As might be expected,
novelties and specialties are given due prominence
in the forepart of the catalog. Among them,
Snapdragons in many varieties, including the new
double pink, laoloma hirsuium midtifiorum hy-
bridum, Lilliput Poppy, Pter Pan Dahlia, Fringed
Moonpenny Daisy and numerous other interesting
flowers. A considerable number of vegetable
novelties are also described. The Garden Month
by Month affords a most xiaeful calendar of opera-
tions. The numerous illustrations, all from actual
photographs, are particularly bright and clear,
bummer flowering bulbs including Gladioli, Dahlias,
Cannas and Lilies are featured together with Irises
of various types. A complete line of garden tools
and other sundries including the ideal motor lawn
mower and bird boxes. Garden books of all
descriptions are also listed, making this a most
complete and attractive book for the amateur.

Beckert's Seed Store, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Composed of some 90 pages and bound in pleasingly
colored covers, the back one featuring some es-
pecially good representations of giant Zinnias.
Freely illustrated with half-tone cuts which are
bright and distinctive, this seed list is well worthy
of attention. While not featuring any novelties,
this firm makes a specialty of selected stocks and
devotes a great deal of attention to the work of se-
lection and testing. The policy of holding confi-
dence has been the main factor since 1877, when
Beckert's Seed Store first opened its doors. Apart
from a most complete selection of vegetable seeds,
the list before us describes and illustrates all that
is good in flower seeds, including those recognized
as florists' flowers. A choice selection of Dahlias,
Gladioli and Cannas is given, while garden tools of
all descriptions are illustrated and offered.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Market

From all appearances, witK the ex-
ception of RoseSj the extreme shortage
that has prevailed since the first of the
year is over. Clearances have been good
and it has been possible to fill orders,
something that has not been done for
some time. The demand has not been
extra heavy and with the exception of an
occasional funeral order there does not
seem to be much doing.

Am. Beauty Roses are still an off crop,
while there has been an increase in the
supply of the other varieties. Premier
and Columbia have the call with Butter-
fly and Ophelia close seconds. Double
White Killarney, Pink Killarney, My
Maryland, Hilda, Richmond, Sunburst and
Mrs. Aaron Ward are among the arrivals.

The Carnation supply is on the increase
and prices are somewhat easier. Easter
and Callas are in light supply and clean
up daily.

Bulbous stock is in heavy supply and
includes Narcisi, Paperwhites, Golden
Spurs and Tulips, both single and double.

Sweet Peas are now a factor and the
quality is of the best. It is to be hoped
that there will be a good supply for St.
Valentine's Day.

Freesias is in heavy supply and is hard
to move at times, but Lily of the Valley
is in good supply and moves freely. Vio-
lets are hard to move at any price. Or-
chids also move slowly and price conces-
sions have to be made at times to move
them at all.

Calendula, Mignonette and Baby Prim-
rose are hard to move, and the week-end
finds many of them carried over. Heather
finds a ready market, as something differ-
ent, and while at first glance the price
seems high, when you consider the uses
it can be put to and how it makes up in
basket work, the price is reasonable.

Meeetings an* Everything

The regular monthly meeting of the
Pittsburgh Florists and Gardeners Club
will be held Tuesday evening, Feb. 1. Car-
nations will be the subject for discussion
and a good display from the home grow-
ers is expected. J. S. Sheridan of the Mc-
Callimi Co. will tell ot his experiences in
France, Belgium and England during the
late war. The election of officers for 1921
will be in order and the largest attend-
ance of the season is looked for.

Pittsburgh District will hold its regular
monthly meeting Thursday evening, Feb.
3 at the Seventh ave. Hotel, at which time
advertising for St. Valentine's Day will
be taken up.

Both the McCallum Co. and the Pitts-
burgh Cut Flower Co. are featuring cut
Heather from California and have found
a ready market for it.

John C. Walley, greenhouse foreman for
the McCallum Co., and Ed. Blind of the
Blind Floral Co., were among those from
the Pittsburgh District who attended the
Carnation Convention at Washington. D

Nick Harris of Harris Bros, has jfst
returned from a 14 months' visit to hisi
old home in Greece. Mr. Harris says
while it was nice to renew old acquaint-
ances, conditions in Europe are terrible
and that the dissatisfied in this country
do not know when they are well off'.

Harrisburg, Pa., where he attended the
Pennsylvania Nurseryman's meeting as a
member of the Executive Committee and
was elected Vice-President for the en-
suing year.

As space will be an item with the
Exchange for the next few weeks, Lan-
caster will give way to the Carnation
Society and cut its news short.

Lancaster, Pa.

The first week of real weather since last
October brought out considerable busi-
ness in the way of plant and box sales
and demonstrated anew the fact that good
weather and good trade are analogous
terms.

H. A. Schroyer had the table decora-
tions of the Hay-Brown dinner, with
the largest center piece ever used in thia
city. J. Hay Brown is the retiring Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of Penn-
sylvania. The dinner was a reaUy elab-
orate affair and a good advertisement for
Schroyer among a lot of flower buyers.

The stores are all well stocked with
plants and ferns, and it is a common oc-
currence to have the cut flowers priced
and a plant sale made instead.

The delegation is back from Washing-
tion, but I have not an opportunity to get
in touch with any of them. B. F. Barr
is very enthusiastic over bis trip to the
Trial Gardens at Arlington, the Botanical
Gardens in Washington and the evening
session of the American Carnation So-
ciety, which he pronounced one of the
livest organizations in the country. He

Riverton, N. J.

Late last week the daily press of N. Y.
City gave considerable space to what they
reported as a most severe earthquake
shock occurring in the vicinity of River-
ton, N. J. As there is considerable glass
in that section we wrote to Henry A.
Dreer, Inc., located there, for information.
This firm assures us that there was no
question but that it was an earthquake
shock, but it has been imable to learn of
any actual damage done in its locality.

Holyoke, Mass.

The Holyoke and Northampton Gard-

The club will meet the first and third
Thursday of each month. The new of-
ficers elected were : President, Mrs. J. F.

S. Smith's Sons, Jamesto-nrn, 'Wins
Suit

Before Judge Banows of the Su-
perior Court on Monday, Jan, 31, the
case of K. Van Bourgandian & Sons,
Babylon, N. Y., against Samuel Smith's
Sons, Jamestown, to recover $79.52 for
case of 1800 Golden Narcissus bulbs
shipped by them to the defendants Oct.
27, 1919, was heard.

The two plaintiffs deposed. One said
be was a packer of bulbs, etc. The bulbs
when sent, were first class in every re-
spect, and properly packed. Being in
Jamestown the following February, he
was shown the plants by defendant who
claimed that they had not flowered prop-
erly, but said the bill would be paid. The
other brother plaintiff corroborated, and
said the growth of the plants showed they
were of good stock. Their catalog
states that the sellers are not responsible
for success. For the defence, the senior
partner, Samuel Smith, florist and post-
master, Jamestown, took the stand.

He stated that the bulbs in question
were rooted, sprouted and partly rotted,
when they arrived.

They found a quarter or a third of
them sound which they planted immGdiate-
ly. They showed they were diseased when
they grew and were no use, making only
4in. of growth. The case (original pack)
contained 2500 bulbs — not 1800 as claim-
ed by the plaintiffs — no repacking having
been done. The court charged briefly,
saying if the case is in doubt, the verdict
should be for defendant. The jury re-
turned in 26 minutes with a verdict for
the defendants. A. M. L.

due to no orders, etc., and to bring wages
down to a sensible basis. The larger
corporations that are still running, have
reduced wages from ten to twenty-five
per cent, and, as aU retail merchants have
been more or less dependent on the man
who made the big wages for the last few
years, business has fallen off. However,
we are all optimistic and with a "lifted
chin and a pleasant grin," are making
plans to grow more and better the com-
ing season.

Items of News

Estabrook and Luby, who were
completely burned out, have secured a
good location at 43 Pleasant St., and are
now doing business at that location. All
the florists on the street offered Mr. Luby
anything he asked to help him in his
misfortune, and he gratefully acknowl-
edged the same in a paid ad in the local
papers. So, you see old Philadelphia is
not the only city of Brotherly Love.

Lange is very busy and has the decora-
tions at Clark College for the inaugura-
tion ceremonies and the ball preceding.
He has been holding Saturday plant sales
at pre-war prices ; these have been suc-
cessful in starting up a flagging interest
in blooming plants. He is cutting fine
Tulips and Freesia,

Littlefield's window has been especially
attractive with suggestions for Valen-
tine's Day. ,

Herman Synder has been sending in
remarkably fine Violets.

Quarry's new venture — his greenhouses
at New Worcester are very attractive
now. His Sweet Peas are especially good.

Harry Randall keeps his windows at-
tractively decorated ; he is handling some
fine Sweet Peas just now. WoBCO.

Trade Conditions

The condition of trade today is
what we would call good, considering the
business of other retail lines, which, like
the florists, might be termed semi-luiury
lines. Worcester being a manufacturing
city, is, like others throughout the coun-
try, trying to adjust the falling market,

The Westchester and Fairfield
Horticultural Society

The topic of the moment among, >
gardeners is the annual dinner of the *■,
Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural .
Society, held in Lawrence's Inn, Mamaro*
neck on Wednesday, Jan, 26. It was far
more than an ordinary dinner ; it waa
one of those real old-fashioned gather-
ings like we used to have, where one
would meet old chums, and talk of old,'
times. It was a well attended affair, with',
practically all the "nobility" present;;
J. H. Troy was at his best as toaab^
master and was most generous in praises^
on introducing speakers. Arthur Hen^^
rington spoke of the coming New York
show, urging all gardeners to help make
it a success. M. C, Ebel, announced the
Gardeners' convention to be held in New
York City, hoping the gardening fratern-
ity in the East would outdo our Western
brethren, C. Smith of the "Farm Bu-
reau" spoke on farmers and farming. Joe.
Manda added a few more remarks on the
Flower Show, C. Baxter spoke of the
great opportunities gardeners have to
make this world more beautiful. Ab
usual the whole affair was well seasoned
with good snappy stories, and only the
fact that we all had to go home some-
time brought it to a close.

Brother Sealey deserved credit for mak-
ing the arrangements, brothers Stuart and
Williamson, for making the decoration%
and Mr. Mitchell for his well rendered
songs. OSCAE E. Addob, Secretary.

SPRINGTIME IN BOSTON

Marbles. Baseball, Robins and Bloomloft
Wild Flowers in Evidence

Boston, Jan. 29. — Spring waa in the j
air today. Small boys played marbles, e
baseball games were seen on several sand- '
lots, and robins chirruped overhead. In the i
woods of Plymouth the trailing arbutu^ '
New England's May flower, was picked i
by automobile parties. Dandelions were '
plucked on the North Shore.

It was the January thaw, with littie
to loosen. Overshoes, which ordinarily
are in big demand at this season, were
a drug on the market. Weather Bureau
reports of snowfall have yet to pasfl
hundredths of an inch. Oldest inhabi-
tants are conning their records to find
precedents.

|E never tire of Rhodo-
dendrons, and seeing

'these handsome plants in
bloom we could not resist tak-
ing a photograph. These ex-
amples serve a purpose, the
value of whicli is likely to be
overlooked, namelj', that of af-
fording privacy to the porch.
True, it took several years for
these plants to reach this ten-
foot bower, but now they ser\ e
tlie purpose so eflfectively, all
the year around, that it was
well worth waiting for them
to develop. Perhaps you are
fortunate enough to have some
hybrid Rhododendrons in large
sizes. If your client balked at
their price we venture to say
that he would "come across"
if shown this photograph as it
represents the possibilities in
wealth of bloom and leafage of
large specimens. If not hybrids,
why not offer Rhododendron
maximum or catawbiense in
large clumps, nursery grown or
collected?

It is well to note, too, that
had the quick growing shrubs,
commonly used for this pur-

Rhododendrons . . . are the very best advertisement for the nurserymen who handle them

pose, been selected in this case,
they would, unless pruned,
have outgrown the position and
become open at the base, fore-
ground planting of dwarf
shrubs being impossible in the
narrow space that this bed oc-
cupies.

Furthermore, we also pro-
pose Rhododendrons for that
difficult exposure where flow-
ering shrubs are rarelv success-
ful— the north or shady side of
a building.

Rhododendrons, by reason of
their all-the-year-around rich-
ness and characteristic of
growing old gracefully— even
improving with age— are the
very best advertisement for the
nurserymen who handle them.
Induce your customers to plant
them at every opportrmity, pur-
chasing in carload lots where
a belt plantation through a
shaded area is under considera-
tion. Growers and collectors
of native Rhododendrons
should use The Exchange
columns to reach the trade.

Are Nurserymen Profiteering ?

Editor of The Record:

One of the_ worst examples of profiteering before the
public today is that of the nurserymen. Peach trees in
1913-14 could be bought for 6c. to 9c. each. Apple trees
for 10c. to 12c^ Cherries for 12c. to 15e., Pears, Plums,
etc., 12c. to 15e. ; Grape vines, 1 year old, 2c. to 6e. ;
Blackberry and Raspberry plants, $8 to $10 per 1000.
Today's prices are : Peach trees, 80c. to $1 ; Apples,
85c. to $1.25 ; Cherries, 95c. to $1.50 ; Grape vines, 25c.
to 60c. ; Blackberry and Raspberry, $35 to $40 per 1000.
There might be some excuse in the liigher cost of all
plants on account of higher cost of production, but not
from 500 to 1000 per cent. Peach pits cost very little
more than before. Labor and other costs have not in-
creased over 300 per cent, while trees cost 1000 per cent
more. The increase in Apples on account of the scarcity
of French roots has more than been made np by the use
of American seedlings. They sucker a little more, but
otherwise are just as good. And, by the way, most
orchards sucker. I have my douhts if the nurserymen
have not been nsing seedlings for some time.

Grape plants cannot cost more than 300 per cent, aa
that would cover all costs, and also the berry plants.
Cherries should not be over 350 per cent more. But since
85 per cent of the nurseries have joined the Nurserymen's
Affin they have things all their own way, and prices are
very nearly identical under like conditions. With these
conditions staring the fruit grower in the face, how is he
going to keep on producing at the prices that a smaller
purchasing power should pay?

„ , „ , , . Fbutt Geoweb.

Newark, Del., Jan. 12, 1921.

The attached clipping from a Philadelphia daily paper,
mailed me a few days ago, may be of interest to many
in the trade as it bears upon a question that has been
recently discussed in the columns of The Exchange
namely— Profiteering.

_ With my friend's clipping came the direct question-
XT truth in the above indictment?"
Now, I don't propose to take up the cudgels for any-
one to whom this accusation may apply. I am merely
going to answer impartially my friend's question, "Is
there truth in the indictment?"

Thoughtfully reading and considering this published
.,K "' i™?', S"^ '^^° ='S"S himself "Fruit Grower" (but
Who should have had sufficient backbone on matters of

principle to proclaim his name and identity), I am con-
vinced that there is some truth in it. However, like
many present day doctrines in political, social and reli-
gious life, it is presented with a wrong setting.

Let's look at it squarely. First of all it is plain to
see that "Fruit Grower" has taken a cut price "whole-
sale" quotation of 1913-14 and contrasted it with the
highest retail figure in ca,talogs today. Is this a fair
comparison? Again, in giving reasons or making fair
allowances for rising prices, he merely mentions the
increased cost of production. This is but one of the
reasons, and perhaps not the chief one, which governs
the rise and fall of prices. He has entirely ignored the
important point of "supply and demand."

During the period covered by the war there was more
than the usual demand for fruit trees and small fruits
of all kinds, because people had gotten the desire to
raise economic products. Large quantities of fruit trees
were sold, but with the selling of the stock on hand
there should have naturally been an equal amount of
production so that the supply would always meet the
demand. This balance, as everyone knows, was not or
could not be maintained, owing to the many men who
either enlisted or were drafted for military service. The
result was a scarcity of fruit trees with the demand just
as great. So we find ourselves paying more than we
ordinarily should for them.

It's the old story of having a limited supply of a
certain thing and making those who most desire it pay
the highest price for it.

Take hybrid Rhododendrons as another example.
Before Qu. 37 came into force, these plants were sold
for $1.50 to $3 each. Today plants of the same size
(if they can be procured) fetch as high as $6 to $10.
Why? Not because they cost us any more to procure
but ^ because "Mr. Goldbank" desires them and Mr.
"Raise the Price" knows it.

I am wondering if "Fruit Grower" were the owner of
a picture by some old master, would he be willing to
sell it for what it was really worth to him ; would he
not hold on to it till he had found the millionaire who
would gladly plunk down the shekels to possess this
rarity? This perhaps is a far-fetched and strained
example, but the principle is there, nevertheless, and
while it is too true and regrettable that some nursery-
men and florists have become impregnated with the price

raise mania, it is but a trait of human nature cropping
up in some more than others.

^^ Relating to a "nurseryman's trust," as intimated by
Fruit Grower," I have nothing to say except that I do
not think it is true. Perhaps some one else in closer
touch with the phase of the matter will disprove the
indictment. Edwin Matthews.

February Work for Nurserymen

By SAMUEL NEWMAN BAXTER

The making of cuttings (evergreen and deciduous
trees and shrubs) should now be completed. Have you
made sufficient? "Enough is as good as a feast" so do
not overstock even on the best sellers. Many small
nurserymen in the past, have succumbed to the low
prices of imported stock and purchased in ten thousand
lots when their selling capacity -was in thousand lots.
The result was that a block of Oriental Plane, for in-
stance, all came into the market at once and not being
sold in sufficient quantity to even thin out the stock,
they grew their heads off and lost all the lower branches,
becoming too lanky to be salable. Cutting back tops of
such trees gave but temporary relief for they soon shot
up again.

In shrubs, the same thing can happen. I recently saw
a fine block of Spiraea Van Houttei 6ft. specimens, but
the nurseryman complained they were moving slowly.
Another case of too many plants (or was it failure to
advertise?) coming into the market at once. It is far
better to propagate or buy small quantities at regular
intervals and so always have stock coming on. than to
plunge heavily and later have to sacrifice the surplus
stock.

Assuming that you have completed stock taking and
propagating, look over your list now and note what
you are short on. Advertise for it in The Florists'
Exchange and reserve the stock that you may get it
early and thus not be held up for the want of it when
you are assembling orders for shipment. It is most
annoying, and expensive, both to you and your client,
when extra shipments are necessary to forward items
missing when the first shipment goes forward.

The printing of catalogs should be well under way

A fire in potting shed, above the boUer,
at 6 a. m. on the morning of Jan. 26
came very near putting August Tischinger
out of business. The timely arrival of
the Govan's Fire Department, soon had
it under control, with but slight damage
to the gable end of one house.

Daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Fred G.

There is a rumor about town that one
of our largest commercial establishments
has changed hands.

The new company incorporated will
take title, under entirely new director-
ship.

Joe Merritt and his wideawake com-
mittee have arranged "some surprise" for

body come.

Valentine Day bids fair to be a record
breaker. Our retail men are making
great plans. The wholesale folks say,
if the weather holds good, there will^ be
a big cut of flowers all along the line.

George McCallum of the McCaUum Co.,
Pittsburgh, is calling on the trade,

Our members left here on Special Car
W. B. & A. Thursday, Jan. 27 at 1 p. m.,
arriving in good time. The entire party
spent most of the time looking over the
exhibits and decorations, afterwards at-
tending the banquet.

Among Our Growers

BelmozLt Gardens Co., Boston

W. E. Lenk has good reason to be well
satisfied with the progress which his es-
tablishment has made since he started
operations late last Summer, when he
built the first of his Rose houses. Mr.
Lenk was lucky in the choice of his loca-
tion in a suburb of Boston, where he has
plenty of room and the very best of soil
for the growing of Roses of high quality.
This soil has just the right admixture of
clay in it; a combination which it is hard
to find in most localities. Besides this
fortunate circumstance, the property is
situated within twenty minutes auto drive
of the flower market. One house, 340ft.s
60ft., was put up last Summer; it is a
modern structure of steel and cement and
the material for two other similar houses
is on the place and will be erected first
thing nest Spring. The boiler house is
also built of iron and cement; the sides
and roof are all glass, making the struc-
ture a pleasant place to work in. A hand-
some office, finished in hardwood, and a
fine packing and cooling room also add
much to the appearances of the premises.
The boiler is situated on the level groimd
and the water is pumped back into it by
steam pumi)s, which are located in a sepa-
rate, well lighted compartment. There is
room for additional boilers, the massive
chimney providing conveniences for such
additions.

The house is planted mostly to Madame
Butterfly, about 9000 of these being pres-
ent. There are some beds of Premier and
Columbia also. The young plants were
planted in September and, considering the
lateness of the season, have made wonder-
ful growth, showing by this and by the
color and appearance of the wood and fo-
liage, that the soil and attendance are
just to their liking. Mr. Lenk is more
than satisfied with the behavior of
Madame Butterfly, also with the returns
for the flowers and with the demand for
the same, outrunning as it does, the pos-

sible supply. He predicts a good future
for this variety.

Its freedom of bloom, fine color and
foliage, as well as its resistance to mildew
and black spot and its rugged growth, will
make it a tayorite with the grower when
all these qualities become more ixniversally
known.

For the sorting and grading of his
Roses Mr. Lenk has evolved a scheme of
his own, which makes for simplicity and
expedition in grading and packing. For
grading the flowers no stick is used. The
grading bench is of good length, affording
room for several persons at one time. It
is well built, absolutely smooth, painted
white and slopes away from the operator,
so that the water can rxm off. Starting
from the edge nearest the operator, the
lengths of the different grades are marked
plainly throughout the whole length of the
bench by slight grooves cut in the wood.
When the flowers are picked they are
taken to this bench, sorted and graded.
They are then tied in bimches of 2o and
set in water imtil the time for packing
when each bunch is laid on paper ready
to put into the shipping cases.

Before Mr. Lenk started for himself
in business he was superintendent for the
Halifax harden Co.

Atlanta, Ga.

The convening of the Southern Tariff
Congress in Atlanta this week, and its
distinguished delegation, including Vice-
President elect and Mrs. Coolidge, has
brought the entertaining era back to its
pre-war status, and the florists have had
a busy time. Orchids and Valley were
seen in abundance and the national colors
were carried out in the floral decorations.

To make the Northern visitors feel
more at home, Atlanta had a miniature
snow storm ordered for the occasion, but
it was of short duration.

The demand for blooming plants in-
creases steadily, Primulas and Cyclamen
being the big sellers.

Judging from the way advance orders
are coming in, this Spring's business is
going to be a hummer in the plant and
shrub line. B. W. S.

Tenth Annual Meeting rich in interesting addresses, progressive reports and productive

discussions. Important situations reviewed, future prospects forecast and de&nite

forvpard looking action taken. J. K. M. L. Farquhar elected president

THE tenth annual meeting of the New England Nur-
serymen's Ass'n was held at the American House
in Boston on Jan. 25 and 26. Although the mer-
cury hung around the zero mark and the wind was
fierce and biting, over 60 members "stood by" until the
close of the convention late in the afternoon of the
second day.

The program was well thought out and touched upon
the vital issues of today; the speakers were prominent
men in their different lines ; the discussions that followed
the interesting papers were long, earnest and always
resulted in some constructive action ; and the entire meet-
ing was permeated with a pleasant spirit of wholehearted
cooperation that excluded every jarring note. Coopera-
tion, Quarantine 37, Standardization, and the Need of

public demand is nowadays for goods of a higher
standard, and it must be the nurseryman's aim and am-
bition to satisfy this demand in every instance. To this
end he must employ the latest and best means for the pro-
duction of the best stock; he must also employ good,
trustworthy help : and, because such is at present not to be
obtained in sufficient numbers, he must devise some means
or system whereby yotmg men can be taught the nur-
sery business from the ground up. In short, he must
grow on his assistants, foremen and superintendents.

The president also mentioned the fact that shipping
conditions are now much easier than they were six
months ago. Railroad officials are more affable and
easier of approach and the tracing of lost shipments
presents less difficulties. Railroad facilities are now

Better Preparation for young men who wish to become ^""^ *^' anything and everything can be handled with-
out trouble.

Secretary Sheldon A. Robinson presented his yearly

nurserymen, constituted the main themes for discussion.

Pres. Adams Sees Light Ahead

President Charles Adams opened the convention at
1.30 p.m. on Jan. 25. In his able address he brought
out how, in the last ten years, the national and state re-
strictions for the control of insect pests and plant dis-
eases have been steadily multiplied and become more se-
vere; also how the stringent quarantine rules of late
years have put an additional burden upon the nurseryman,
so that his business, at present, is in many respects not
exactly a bed of Roses. As to the present quarantine,
he believes it to be a good thing insofar as it encourages
the home production of such material as can be grown
in the United States, at a reasonable profit. Mr. Adams
was glad to note that the selling price of nursery
products has reached a more favorable and profitable
level and feels confident that if this level can be main-
tained and if the nurserymen do their utmost to promote
their own and their association's interests in an intelli-
gent and aggressive maimer, the nursery business will
surely flourish as never before. The country is ready
to absorb everything the nurseryman can ofiFer, but the

report, which showed that the association now numbers
83 members, 17 of these honorary. This was accepted.
Other Opinions on the Business Situation

C. R. Burr's address on "Business Conditions and the
Outlook," gave the impression that the nursery business
is fast improving and that the prospects for the im-
mediate future are very bright. He, too, maintained
that the demand for nursery stock of high standard never
was better and that it will increase from year to year.
The day of low grade stock is no more. The nursery-
man, to succeed, must adopt real business methods and
must try to make his relations with his help as cordial
as possible, so as to insure their hearty and full co-
operation. Mr. Burr thinks that in some instances a re-
duction of prices may be advisable, since other com-
modities have declined also, and because the farmer, who
is receiving less for his goods now, will reduce his or-
ders unless prices on nursery stock follow suit.

During the following discussion Paul Fortmiller of
the Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. J., said that
busmess was rather quiet up to a short while ago, but

that it has improved greatly during the last few weeks.
He mentioned that labor conditions have also improved
considerably, that plenty of men are now available and
that planting can go forward as soon as the weather
permits. A great deal of new planting is in view. He
thinks prices of nursery stock will staj' up a while, as
they were among the last to rise.

John K. M. L. Farquhar also thinks that common labor
will be plentiful from now on, but believes that prices
may drop in some lines, although the present shortage
of stock in many instances will preclude any great reduc-
tion. Mr. Farquhar advised nurserj'men to try more of
the many good new things which are introduced, be-
cause the public, tired of the old. is anxious and willing
to accept something new and good. The new crop of mil-
lionaires, especially, should prove good customers.

The report of Treasurer V. A. Vanicek, who is ab-
sent in Europe, was read and accepted. It shows the
finances of the association to be in a healthy condition.

E. F. Coe, chairman of the Publicity Committee, re-
ported that the association is deeply interested in every-
thiiig pertaining to publicity, as it means greater pros-
perity to all and a creation of wider markets.

The Com Borer a Native

John Farquhar's report for the legislative committee, ,
dealt with Quarantine No. 57 and Tariff Rule No. 211.
He is of the opinion that the quarantine question will '
be settled more or less satisfactorily in the near future.
He referred to a meeting held on account of the tariff
measure, which he thinks, will stand as it is, but will
not make much difference in a great many things such
as Roses, because none can be imported anyway. Re-
ferring to the Corn borer quarantine he said that the
F. H. B. has greatly modified its views in regard t this
pest and now considers it a much less serious pest. Mr.
Farquhar related how it had been discovered that this
ungodly borer is really a native American, who has long
dwelt here without attracting any attention. Some
time ago Mr. Com Borer was introduced into Europe
where he made short work of the Com plantings and
soon became notorious. In due time, with a bad repu-
tation clinging to him, he landed again in the land of
his fathers and when the F. H. B. got onto him, his name
was mud. His family records are now being looked up
in Washington, and when it is settled that he is just a
common American citizen, he will probably be ignored
and forgotten — like the rest of us.

Recollections of Chatsworth

While the following: notes from James Morton have no bearing upon commercial horticul-
ture as it exists today, they are of extreme interest and demonstrate that despite our vaunted
ideas of progress, the old, old timers, lacking as they did the sources of knowledge now available,
knew as much about plant culture, garden planning and greenhouse building, as is known today.

The appliances were more primitive it is true, but the results obtained were perhaps all the
more wonderful because of it.

ffom a recent issue of Tut; Florists' Exchange, it

I with regret the writer learned of the proposed de-

fitlon of the giant conservatory at the country seat

(the Duke of Devonshire, near Chesterfield, Derby-

e, Knjihmd. Since then, there has been mention of

I n our local papers, one as follows : "Because of

u^** wrecking crews wanting too much for the job,

-r of Devonshire used 300 pounds of dynamite

ii;; rid of the giant conservatory on his ances-

nc near I^ndon. The glass palace covers hun-

I ncres and contained more than 40,000 panes of

.. I'he estate was recently sold for $375,000." As

i statement is misleading;, a few rambling notes from

iiory from one who was a frequent visitor to Chats-

•th in its palmiest days may be of interest to our

ders.

iis distance is computed over there, Chatsworth is
[ near Ix>ndon, being situated in one of the Midland
nties of England probably a day's ride from Lon-
I. The "glass palace covering hundreds of acres and
taining mo"re than 40,000 panes of glass" is a con-
ligjeration of statements that needs revision. "While
I conservatory was a maimmoth one it did not cover
iidreds of acres, nor yet ten acres ; probably three or
IP acres might be measured off within the enclosure.
I to the 40,000 panes of glass this is probably more
^er estimated than the extent of land covered is over
timated. The glass used in the conservatory was quite
^oll and it would take many thousands of them to
!-er the sides and roof of this immense glass area,
: amount stated would be the minimum at least.

le Glass Range

There were many other greenhouses at Chatsworth
;.ides the conservatory; including orchard houses
;ere temperate and tropical fruits in many varieties
?re grown, some trees reaching the height of from
ft to 20ft.; extensive vineries for early, midseason
i-i late fruiting; a large Pineapple range; and leanto

ises for Peaches and Apricots which were trained on
; back walls. Glass coping extended all around the
;:den walls for the protection of similar trees.- There
|re plant houses where choice plants, orchids and bed-
:ig stock were grown for the decoration of the man-
ia and grounds in Summer, all of which covered a
;ge tract of land. A large circular house was de-
i ed exclusively to the culture of the Victoria regia,
[ giant water Lily. The center of this house con-
lied a large pool, probably 50ft. in diameter, with a
ilk all around. Under the walk where the water sup-
[ ■ entered there was a miniature water wheel worked by
I irauiic power which kept the water continually in .

tion.

le Great Conservatory

rhe conservatory was, however, the pride of the es-
I e and the cynosure of the eyes of the horticultural
I rid at that time. It was distinct and apart from
I; other greenhouses, being located a considerable dis-
lice from the fruit and ciUinary gardens. Everything
u Chatsworth was in the nature of a surprise; the great
; xton planned for surprises at every "turn. From the
l?at height and size of the conservatory one would
ippose it could be seen for miles away. This was not
\; the main ajpp roach was so ingeniously laid out
'*ough a winding rock garden which effectively con-
ide4 all distant views. On the rounding of a corner
'6 stood awe stricken before the great conservatory;
}obabIy within 50ft. of the entrance door.

I regret I .have forgotten the dimensions of this won-
irful house but remember the height from the ground
■or to the ridge of the house was 90ft. So large was

is house that sliding doors on each end and mid-

ly on the sides large enough for the duchess to drive
■rough the conservatory in her carriage on well kept
;avel walks, were provided.

hat It Contained

There was nothing in tropical plants, including palms
d tree ferns, known at that time," that was not to be
und in that conservatory. There were winding
dks and pathways through the various sections of the
use; pools for aquatic plants intervened; giving the
tire house the appearance of a tropical jungle. Plants
-re grown in prepared mounds and groups much after
e same fashion as we see them today in the park con-
rvatories and public gardens in this country.
The beauty of these immense plants would be lost
sight of visitors by simply walking through under-
.;ath. For this reason there was, at noth ends of the
jmBe, a broad flight of stairs that led up to' a bal-

cony probably 40ft. high and broad enough for three or
more people to walk abreast. It was from this bal-
cony the wonderful growth and rare beauty of all the
line specimen plants could be seen to the best effect.
This balcony also served as a suitable place for water-
ing; water pipes were laid all around with attachments
for hose at regular intervals so that the entire house
could be sprinkled . from overhead as often and freely
as the seasons and conditions might require.

Cacti a Predominant Feature

One of the predominant features of this conservatory
was its display of Epiphyllums. These were at their
best during January and February during which time
many visitors went to see the conservatory as it excelled
in beauty at that particular time, more so than at any
other season. The manner in which the Epiphyllums
were grown at Chatsworth is interesting. On the mam-
moth rafters that extended frpm the hip or eave of the
house to the ridge in curvilinear form probably 100ft.
long, several rapid growing varieties of Cereus were
grown or grafted one on the other until they reached
from the ground following the outline of the rafters
to the very apex of the house. J'hese Cereus were grown
for a purpose not their own, but to serve as stock or
a groundwork on which to bud and graft the pliant
Epiphyllums. In this manner, the lowly Cereus was ele-
vated from its squatty position to one of the sublimity
of the rainbow, as tier above tier, the perfectly curved
columns of Epiphyllums covered the heavy inner wood-
work of the conservatory, making a thing of beauty
of what was otherwise a non-ornamental part of the
structure. Men worked on these columns of Epi-
phyllums every day in the year, until they were as per-
fect in form and finish as the best exponents of garden
science could make them.

Likened Unto the Rainbow

At the base of these rainbow like columns, there were
large mounds that tapered gradually to the cave, then
followed the . outline of the house in unbroken form to
the top. The varieties used, gave a range of color from
the purple and white of superbum, to the rich scarlet
of coccineum, and the purple violet of ruckerianum. So
evenly and perfectly did these bloom, that to see those
rainbows in January was a sight never, to be forgotten.
It must be forty years ago since the writer saw them
and the vision is as clear in the mind's eye today as if
it were but a short time ago. Poets may sing of "Iris
time in Evanston," or "Tulip time in Holland," but
neither had anything on Epiphyllum time at Chats-
- worth when the conservatory was flaming with their
color; the majestic arches resplendent in creamy white,
flushed pink, rose, orange scarlet, deep scarlet and
violet purple. Oh boy ! you should have seen them.
" 'Twas next door to Heaven during Epiphyllum time at
Chatsworth.

The conservatory foreman had 24 trained assistants
who never worked anywhere on the estate but in the
conservatory. It took this quota of help, day in and
day out throughout the entire year, to keep this one
house in perfect growing condition. It is not to be
wondered at that in these days of scarcity of labon and
high taxation, the fine old ancestral homes like Chats-
worth, Dalkeith, Trentham, and others that fostered all
that was good in. garden craft, should pass away and
conform to new ideals a world war. has brought upon
them.

A Garden of Surprises

As before mentioned, there was a series of surprises
about the grounds at Chatsworth. The rock and alpine
gardens were wonderful; winding walks, rockwork tow-
.ering on either side, here Aubretias, Saxifragas, Auri-
culas, and hundreds of similar plants were to be seen
at their best. It would seem almost a disappointment
that the end of a pathway was reached abruptly as a
huge boulder left no visible hope of getting further
through the labyrinth of rockwork and flowers. A
knowing guide would, however, place his hand gently
against the huge boulder and it would slowly but surely
move out of the way and open up a passage to still
further and better displays that were confined behind
the apparently impregnable entrance. The rock was set
in a pivot and so well and accurately balanced, that a
child could move it in and out of place.

The Fountain Tree

Another surprise was the Fountain tree. This was a
large metallic affair resembling an Oak, painted and

trimmed to conform to thi: different seasons. To all
appearance it was a kind and genial looking tree, offer-
ing, as it did, its shade or shelter as the case may be.
to visitors. Under the .shade of its quivering foliage
were numerous seats. The tree was notlung more or
less than a hugh water reservoir connected with the
water system on the estate. There were tiny perfora-
tions on every leaf, bud and stem, so that by the simple
turning of a valve a gentle rain came rustling through
the leaves, much to the surprise and discomfort of un
suspecting visitors who afterward discovered it was
only a trick and another surprise of the gardens. There
were several waterfalls on the grounds tumbling over
rocks interspersed with native plants and ferns; these
were a prime attraction of the estate. The water in
all instances was forced to these height'! by battering
rams which kept up a du-ll monotonous sound all day
and night.-

A Mile High Chimney

The chimney at Chatsworth was quite a feature. A
great volume of smoke had to be consumed or disposed
of, one of the evils resulting from the heating by soft
coal of the greenhouses, mansion and all the outbuild-
ings connected with a large estate. To say that it took
a chimney three to four miles high to carry of this
smoke would naturally strike one as being a rather
smoky story, but it is nevertheless true. All the smoke
produced on the place was conveyed in flues a short
distance to the foot of a mountain peak. Old gardeners
who remember how well greenhouses were heated by flues
before boilers and hot water heating were in-
troduced can well understand this flue system. All flues
led to the foot of the mountain peak where the real
chimtiey began. This was built on a gradual slope up
the mountain peak until the top of the peak was reached.
The exact distance of this I cannot recall, but a mile or
two, probably more,- was within reason, as it had to be
conveyed a long way from the resident portion of the
estate. On the top of the mountain peak where the
smoke was discharged, there was no vegetation, every-
thing was black with soot for a long distance around.

Chatsw6rth*s Influence on Horticulture

So great was the name of Chatsworth aU over the
country and its reputation for working along the highest
known methods of horticulture so well established, that
young gardeners regarded it the height of their ambi-
tion to be able to get a position at Chatsworth. The
head gardener knew this fact well and as a consequence,
only small wages were paid. Young men desiring to
learn, would work at Chatsworth for several shillings a
week less than they woidd be willing to work for else-
where. For this reason there was always a long wait-
ing list to fill all vacancies. Employers wanting to em-
ploy a head gardener at that time, would give prefer-
ence to a Chatsworth man, knowing that a man who had
a training there would be well versed in the working
operations of everything and anything that could come
up inside the four walls of a garden or greenhouse.
'the sacrifice in working a few "years there at low wages
generally brought a final reward.

The Violin That Was Not

In the* entrance hall of the mansion at Chatsworth,
there was a painting of a violin as if hanging on the
wall. Visitors, if they were musicians, used to be in-
vited to play a tune before proceeding further and
there are hundreds of instances on record where the
would be violinist walked up to take the violin only to
find out it was a painting.

Alas, poor Paxton! The ruthless hand of time is ac-
tive in the demolition of his great life's work, which
brought both fame and fortune to the architect and
won him the admiration of the entire horticultural
world.

Details regarding the great conservatory were given
in our issue for Mar. 10, 1930. p. 713. The <^tructurc cov-
ered one acre and its dimensions were 276ft.xl93ft. The
central roof was 67ft. high and the transverse span 70ft.
The glass area was 75,000 sq. ft. The gardens at Chats-
worth as laid out by Paxton remain more or less intact.
The famous Crystal Palace designed by him is now a
National War Museum.

The Cup of Inducement

When to the spirit of competition is added the incitc-
ii^cnt of heavy cash, gold medal and other prize awards,
the cup of inducement to growers must be considered
well filled. In this category of bountiful offers arc
to be considered those made public in this issue for the
joint exhibition of the American Rose Society and the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society, for one, and the
new departure on the part of the American Carnation
Society, which is offering some most special induce-
ments to exhibitors at the Natiohal Flower Show in
Cleveland next year for another; both schedules are
published in this issue.

Christmas Hill

Up the long hill from foot to crest
Straight, tall young Spruce trees
marched.

A statelier pageant, fairer slope,
The heavens never arched.

Toda^ it stretches dumb and bare
With dark scars in its side ;

Snows must drift deep to cover them,
Spring flowers grow tall to hide !

Of all the goodly growing things

None fairer are than these
Still, changeless folk, the evergreens

We kill for Christmas trees.

— Isabel Valle in N. Y. Sun.

Christmas trees the world must have.

Ruthless slaughter — reckless cutting —
should be stopped.

Surely it would pay every grower,
every nurseryman to cover a few acres
himself — and to persuade neighbor farm-
ers to do likewise — with a planting of the
choicest evergreens, for which better
prices could undoubtedly be obtained.-

In due time this supply of Christmas
trees would have its effect in putting an
end to the present indiscriminate slaugh-
ter.

Business is still very good ; there
have been a large number of dinner and
reception deeorutious, while design work
has aliio been in demand. J. J. Uiggius
reports a big demand for design work.
Stock has been scarce, but bulb stock is
now coming in more plentifully.

Chas. Cooper has au assistant store-
keeper. A little sou came to his home
last week. Business has been excellent ;
one order alone, from Whitby, was for
fourteen pieces. Delivery was made by
motor truck.

G. N. Geraghty reports business brisk
at Duulop's. The telegraph orders have
been numerous and mostly for large
amounts.

Thomas Manton supplied the flowers

a euchre, concert and dance at the

; Foresters' Hall on Feb. 1.

The annual dance of the Toronto Retail
I Florists Club on Feb. 7 will be a big
success, as a large number of tickets have
been sold.

H. G. Dillemuth, vice-president of the
F. T. D., will attend the executive meet-
ing in Detroit, Feb. 21 and 22. He will
endeavor to have the convention in
, Toronto extended to three days. The
' King Edward Hotel Co. will have their
1000 room addition completed and the
new convention hall finished, so that a
big crowd may be accommodated. Mr.
I Dillemuth is general chairman of the
I Toronto Committee with Silas A. McFad-
; den, assistant chairman. The commit-
I tees are all at work and the Canadian
I florists will be disappointed if there are
i not several thousand visitors from the

United States.
! H. E. Dillemuth and L. Waters visited
Brampton recently and disposed of the
balance of the F. T. D. signs to growers
there,

Mr. Dillemuth reports business excel-
lent ; stock gives evidence of being more
plentiful soon. During January, as is
usual after close Christmas cutting, stock
was very scarce, but now, ^ with a little
sunshiny weather, there will be a good
supply shortly.

Tidy & Son have had a great many
wedding and dinner decorations. There
has been enough stock to go round, though
it has been by no means plentiful.^ Prices
are easing up a little, especially on
Violets.

F. K. Prouse Co., dealers in florists'
supplies, have closed their Brampton of-
fice. Their head office is now at 615-617
Yonge St., Toronto, where large quarters
have been secured.

Harry Brandt and Steven Green were
recent visitors to Toronto, where they
called on the trade. Mr. Brandt stated
that business was excellent. It was
evident that many florists helped to make
up for the shortage of flowers by a gen-
erous use of chiffons.

is producing some very fine plants.

Jenning's at Brampton have a fine lot
of Carnations. The flowers are good and
have stout stems. There is also promise
of a good cut of Roses.

Calverts at Brampton plan to erect
an addition to their greenhouse next
Spring.

Lisse in particular is strongly repre.

than seven agents representing various

States and Lisse and Sassenheim as their
home.

Cincinnati, 0.

The Market

Although a little late in making its
appearance, the break in the market is
decidedly here. The refusal of the public
to buy at the prices asked seems to be
the main reason ; a very serious one at
that. No doubt the end is not as yet
apparent ; only a siege of cloudy weather
can maintain the present prices. This is
not likely, however, since that period has
about passed.

Scarcity of stock has been of shorter
duration this year than last, which is
easily accounted for by slack times, and
a disinclination to buy on the part of the
public. Roses of good quality in all
grades are quoted at about one-half of
last week's prices. The best Carnations
are down to six cents, and a lot of good
ones go for a great deal less.

Bulb stock is plentiful now, and about
equal to demand. Narcissus, Tulips,
Daffodils, Freesia, and Hyacinths show-
ing excellent quality. Local Valley is
again in evidence, but the demand is not
brisk. Sweet Peas are forging to the
front and some of the stock seen in local
store windows is of unusual quality.
Easter Lilies are small of size and large
of price, stock not being satisfactory at
the figure asked — Callas are good and
always find ready sale on tbis market.

Blooming plants are holding their own ;
Cyclamen and Begonias of the Peterson
type are good sellers — Baby Primrose in
pots seems to be well liked by plant
buyers, also.

j Retailers and growers alike are keenly
disappointed at the loss of the conven-
tion of the Carnation Society for this
city ; Cincinnati is the gateway to the
I South and perhaps the largest of the
' most centrally located cities of the coun-
try. The interests of the industry could
best be served where the greatest at-
tendance could be drawn. Far be It
from us to criticize the lobbying tactics
of the chosen circle.

Odds and Ends

C. E. Critchell is basking in the

A New Strain of Early Tulips

At the meeting of the Tulip Commit-
tee, Haarlem Bulb Growers Society of
Jan. 10, Messrs. E. H. Krelage & Son
showed five varieties of forced Tulips in
pots. These Tulips are hybrids between
Due van ThoU and Darwin varieties and
combine the earliness of the former with
the colors and the longer stems of the
latter. The flowering period out-of-doors
is the same as that of the early single
Tulips and they can easily be forced in
the first week of January ; some varieties
were flowered in i>erfect condition, but
with shorter stems, on Dec. 20. The
colors of the varieties shown were bright
pink, salmon orange, maroon, cerise and
brown with sulpher edge, but ^Messrs,
Krelage possess a great many varieties in
other shades. The first crosses were
made in 1909 and have since been con-
tinued yearly.

These newcomers which, compered 'with
the existing varieties for early forcing,
showed great superiority, will doubtless
have a splendid futurCj for a combination
of early forcing qualities, new colors and
good stems would mean a decided advance
on all early forcing Tulips.

As we go to press it is "Ground Hog" Day (Candle-
mas Day). Here in New York it is snowing — cloudy
and overcast — so if when the ground hog comes out
today he does not see his shadow the popular supersti-
tion is that we are to e.xpect an early Spring. If this
comes to pass we will all be duly thankful; meanwhile
let us be thankful in anticipation.

If you have not received a copy of the final schedule
of the Eighth International Flower Show or have over-
looked it in your mail, now is the time to rectify the
matter. Don't put it off. Only some five weeks or so
separate us from the show date, March 14. No less
than 285 classes are open for entries, and provision is
made for every kind of stock. Closing date for entries
is March 10.

The ninth annual meeting of the Chamber of Corn-
merce of the United States of America will be held in
Atlantic City, N. J., April 27 to 29. Headquarters will
be located at the Trayraore Hotel. The sessions of the
atmual meeting will be held on Young's Million Dollar
Pier. The S. A. F. and O. H. has a membership, we
believe, in this body, which is the representative of the
united industries of the country and whose influence is
widespread.

Further discussion of the disposal of the Permanent
Fund of the S. A. F. and O. H. is continued in these
columns. When the wide interest (which is so evident
in this question) shows signs of flagging, we will then
give a review of the outcome. Certain it is that at this
time the feeling is made evident of the necessity of
making provision for the future education of our young
florists, nor is that question likely to cease being agi-
tated until some progress has been made to carry it into
effect.

Soil sterilization was brought much to the front at
the A. C. S. meeting. In its Dec. 25 issue The Ex-
change had previously given in full detail the method
adopted by a vegetable grower near Boston for steriliz-
ing his soil, and on page 251 (Jan. 29) was given a
diagram of the soil sterilizer. Read both articles in
sequence and give us an idea what you think of them.
If, for the majority of crops, both the removal of the
earth from the greenhouse and its replacement, can be
avoided or mitigated through soil sterilization results,
it will be all to the good, saving much money annually
to the grower.

Not only did the Dept. of Agriculture refrain from
asking for any funds for Congressional tree seed dis-
tribution, but also the Secretary of Agriculture has defi-
nitely come out in opposition to the practice. And.
as is well known, the Republican party is strong for
economy.

But what happened in Congress? Why, of course,
that appropriation for "personally distributed" seeds
had to go back P. D. Q. And not only go back, but
go back in augmented style — increased by $120,000, over
that of any previous year; $360,000 will be paid for
"free seed" this year. Looks as if Congress, in this
connection, just loves opposition. Perhaps if the coun-
try were to rise up and demand a million dollars for
free seeds, our generous legislators, after recovering
from the shock, would, just from contrariness, refuse a
cent for the purpose. But would it be safe to try that
method?

Committee on Tariff and Legislation

Under the chairmanship of William F. Gude, the
above committee met at Washington, D. C, on Jan. 25,
but as no further information had been submitted, either
by individuals or by any affiliated body, it was decided
that no further additions or modification of the recom-
mendations already published, could be made.

The Coontie

Reference is made in our Cincinnati newsletter to
Coontie leaves, a new foliage green. In the years recently
past, the present writer became fairly well acquainted
with the "cootie," but Coonties, which produced green
foliage appeared to be an animal of another kind. Search,
however, brought us right back to the last letter of the
alphabet, under which was discovered the Coontie, other-
wise Zamia florianda. The order Zamia embraces a
family of cycads having some resemblance to palms.
They produce conelike fruits and are of stocky growth,
the trunk sometimes being subterranean. The foliage is
frondlike, resembling the Cycas. Treated like all other
tropical plants under glass, they are propagated by
seeds, offsets, or division. Several species are native to
Florida, florianda being abundant on the East Coast.

The American Carnation Society

In this issue will be found quite full details of the
two meetings of this society at Washington last week,
the one on the Wednesday evening, the other on the
Thursday morning. This, coupled with the technical
review of the exhibition flowers furnished by our ex-
pert, should make solidly good informative reading.
The society has been fortunate in the election of its
president and vice-president, and can confidently look
forward to its future. Hartford will prove a most de-
sirable meeting place for 1922, and a wonderful exhibi-
tion of Carnations can confidently be looked forward
to at that time. In approving the schedule of the plant
awards for the 1923 National Flower Show at Cleve-
land, the A. C. S. has taken a long stride forward in
the direction of attracting popular attention to the
merits of the Carnation, and there is no doubt whatso-
ever but that the people at large will be enthused with
the artistic features provided for inasmuch as it will
enable them to realize, as never before, the wonderful
adantabilitv of that flower to such purposes.

All in all, the Washington meeting has been produc-
tive of the best results and has not belied the advanced
predictions we had made for it

The New York Flower Show

In another column is a communication from Secre-
tary John Young of the New York Florists Club which
certainly should have a careful reading. Attention is
called to additional classes which have been brought
into being since the final schedule was completed. There
are three of these: A birds' bath with planting arrange-
ment, a window box class and a backyard garden class.
These, together with the provision which has been made
for growers having novelties in the way of Roses, Car-
nations, Sweet Peas or any other flowers, should add
much to the picturesqueness and educational value of
the show.

Quite naturally, everybody will be looking forward
with keenness to the four great garden entries, each one
to cover 1000 sq. ft. and wherein is given unlimited
opportunitv to the entrant to do with it as he pleases.
The fact that there is $4000 in awards ($1000 to each
one of the four contestants) and a special sweep-
stake prize of $500 in addition to the rnost ^ meri-
torious one of the four is bound to prove a big stimulus
in this direction. There is no doubt these four gardens
will be the cynosure of all eyes, and while the expense
of staging may run considerably over any prize monev
to be received, there is no doubt but that if there are
any trade entrants among these four, it is bound to
benefit them in the way of extending their business.

majority of leaders ranging from $5 to $10. Amateurs
having it thus indicated to them that there are certain
varieties which are so much more highly thought of
than the great run of varieties will, in addition to pro-
viding themselves with the leading favorites of past
years, make it a point to buy one or more of these
higher priced sorts. This being so it is up to the pro-
ducer to see that these higher class varieties are really
worth the price being asked for them; if this is done
the demand for that grade will continue indefinitely,
but if they should prove no better than the favorites of
old (which can be purchased for far less money) there
will come a natural reaction against high priced plants.

Therefore, it is up to the specialist to see that these
higher priced novelties he is offering come fully up
to all that is said in their favor.

The call for the future will be more and more in the
direction of Dahlias having sufficient strength of stem
to support their blooms upright, more especially those
which are in favor as garden varieties. On the other
hand it is known that there are certain of the finer
varieties, notably among the exhibition Cactus, which
will never produce a heavy stem nor hold their blooms
upright. But these are so desirable for decorative
purposes in the house, especially when combined with
delicate fern foliage, that there can be no doubt as to
their future. Several exhibits of these latter were made
at the last Dahlia Show and, although they had to be
wired to produce the decorative result sought, the effect
was so pleasing that there can be no doubt of the de-
sirability of that class.

Apart from the mere usefulness of ordinary Dahlias
as cut flowers or even for garden decoration, we should
not overlook the possible value of the dwarf tvpes for
bedding purposes, and even pots. T^^pes including Sin-
gle, Cactus, and Anemone, ranging from Sin. to 18in.
in height are in actual being, and doubtless may be con-
siderably improved.

Eventually, the outlook for the Dahlia is that it will I
probably be the flower most uniformly grown through-
out the country on account of the fact of its cultural I
\vants being so easily provided for ; thus we look to see I
the commercial handling of the Dahlia made just as (
profitable as any other of our leading flowers, whether ,
field grown or under glass.

The Dahlia and Its Future

It is within the possibilities that but^ few indeed of
the most ardent adherents of the American Dahlia So-
ciety have had the opportunity to forecast the future
of the Dahlia cult as has recently been vouchsafed the
editors of The Exchange.

Scores of 1921 catalogs have lately been received in
this office and investigated. The future extension of
popular favor which we predict is to come for the
Dahlia is based not only on the number of concerns
specializing in its production, but more particularly in
the fact that many of the specialists sending forth these
catalogs have placed emphasis on one of two of their
very ijest productions, so we see bulbs and plants of
these listed all the way from $3.50 to $50 each, with the

Another DaMia Trial and Test Garden

As the result of a recent agreement with Richard I
Vincent. Jr.. president of the American Dahlia Society,
the University of Maryland Exp. Station will establish i
at College Park, Md., a trial and test ground for new i
varieties of Dahlias.

Announcement of the agreement with the American i
Dahlia Society has just been made by Dr. H. J. Patter-
son, director of the University of Maryland Exp. Sta- ■
tion. It is expected that several hundred seedlings and i
new Dahlias will be tested out on the grounds each year I
and that nearly two acres of land will be devoted to (
the cultivation of the newer varieties, which are being |
produced from time to time by growers throughout the (
country.

The experiments will be devoted almost entirely to i
varieties that have never been put on the market in a
commercial way and will be designed to bring out the
commercial possibilities of these new kinds. The Dah-
lias will be put through numerous tests to determine
their habits of growth, their reproductive dependability,
beauty and other desirable qualities.

The tests will start this Summer with plants which
will be forwarded by the American Dahlia Society and
will be in charge of Professor J. B. S. Norton and
Thomas H. White, of the Exp. Station staff. Professor
Norton is an expert in Dahlia culture and for a number
of years has been raising many of the choice varieties
at his home in Hj'attsville.

Mr. Vincent, who conducted the negotiations for the
.American Dahlia Society, is one of the best known
Dahlia growers in the United States and scores of
acres at his farm at White Marsh are devoted to the.
exclusive cultivation of all varieties of Dahlias. I

From France, via the New York Times, comes the
news that a French agriculturist is hard at work trying
to not, only make two plants grow where one grew
before, but to actually grow two plants in one. Thus
far, it is said, he has produced Potatoes on both roots
and stems of a single plant simultaneously. The "aerial"
ones, however, were hardly tisable (as we might have
guessed they would be). Now he is w^orking for a
combined Eggplant-Tomato. As this is simply a graft-
ing proposition we see no reason why he shouldn't suc-
ceed, but even supposing he does, will it mean anythinp
of practical value?

The Florists' ELxchange

309

Eighth International Flower Show,
Grand Central Palace, New York,

MARCH 14-20, 1921

WITH five weeks intervening between tlic present
and the opening date of the show, arrangements
as regards both competitive and trade exhibits
irc wonderfully complete in all the main details. The
jig private estates are, this year, taking more than ordi-
nary interest in the exhibition, and the group displays
promise to be finer than at any previous show. Among
those who are preparing e.xtensive exhibits are: Payne
Whitney, Manhasset, L. I.; Adolph Lewisohn, Ardsley,
N. Y. ; t)anicl Guggenheim. Sands Point, L. I.; W. B.
Thompson, Yonkers, N. Y., and Mrs. F. A. Constable,
Mamaroneck, N. Y.

Entries for every one of the larger classes are in
hand. There is always a doubt as to the possibility of
filling a class as big, for instance, as Class 175. which
:alls for an exhibit showing the best development of a
garden covering 1000 sq. ft. The display may include
lawns, flower beds. Rose gardens, shrubbery borders.
Rose beds, bulb beds, or anything else an artistic ex-
hibitor may suggest, keeping, of course, within the gar-
den idea. Four entries have already been received for
this class, and as competition is likely to be keen, some
magnificent displays, such as never seen at any previous
show, or, indeed, at any show in America, may be ex-
pected. The class carries an appropriation of $4000 for
awards, and a special sweepstakes prize of $500 in addi-
tion, for the exhibit judged to be the most meritorious
of all in the class. Staging of these exhibits will be
made on the first day of the show.

One or two novelty classes are featured this year.
There is a class for "a bird bath, with a planting ar-
rangement at base not to e.xceed 3ft. in diameter." This
class, which is open to all, does not appear in the official
final schedule. It is an extra, the prize for which is
offered by the Garden Club of America. Another extra
class is for window boxes ; this also is an open class,
and should particularly attract florists. The public gen-
erally should be interested in window boxes, especially
that portion of it having house fronts but no gardens.
It has been arranged that the window boxes staged in
this class be given the utmost prominence; in fact, it is
practically decided to place them upon the ledges about
the stairways of the principal entrance, thus insuring
that all visitors shall see them. A third extra feature
is one, which, for want of a better name just now, may
be called the "Backyard Garden." This display will be
of the "before and after" character, showing conditions
with and without a garden.

Specially painted backgrounds will be relied on for
effect in this case, one of them supplemented with a real
garden planting.

Florists having novelties in the way of Roses, Carna-
tions, Sweet Peas, or any other flowers are urged to
make stagings in the classes provided. Many hundreds
of florists from all sections of the country make a point
of visiting this show and will be interested in such e.x-
hibits.

The classes for decorated tables are confined to pri-
vate and amateur growers. This year, there is to be a
competition on each day of the show excepting the last.
The "Tea Garden" will again be a leading feature,
and in it various social functions have been planned to
take place. This garden will be located at the Western
end of the main floor.

With the tea garden location thus changed, a lot of
ver>^ desirable space becomes available for trade ex-
hibits on the second floor, Lexington ave. front. At
previous shows, many would-be exhibitors have ex-
pressed desires for locations in this section of the build-
ing, which is easily approached and in many respects
fully as desirable as some of the locations on the main
floor.

The trade section of the show will be quite as exten-
sive as that of any previous show, if not more so. Most
of the "regulars" are in the list of exhibitors, and there
are several newcomers. The American Dalilia Society
has taken quarters where Dahlia enthusiasts can gather;
the Women's National Farm and Garden Association
will similarly have quarters wherein to meet its mem-
bers and friends. Those who have taken space in the
trade exhibition are extremely optimistic as to the at-
tendance at the show, the drastic changes made in the
general layout of the exhibition being such as to insure
something different from what has gone before. The
following are among the exhibitors who have already
resented space in the trade section ;

Wallace R. Pierson, Chairman of the Committee on.
Commercial Cut Rose Interests, stated he would be glad
to add to the number of his committee, which was thor-
oughly approved, and is working toward getting prom-
ises of a good showing of Roses at the Massachusetts.
Horticultural Society show in Boston, April 6 to 10,.
and it is hoped that all growers within reach of Boston
will exhibit whatever they can in the way of Roses, and
so assist not only the Mass. Hort. Society but the
A. R. S. as well. It is planned at this show to have a
public meeting at which there will be speakers, and it
is hoped to have moving pictures illustrating some of
the uptodate establishments of the country.

It was decided to cooperate with the Missouri Bo-
tanical Gardens in the esablishment of a Rose Test
Garden in St. Louis.

The contemplated trip of the American Rose Society
to visit Portland, Ore., in June 1923. to dedicate the
Roseway, which is now being built in that city, was
brought up and a discussion of the itinerary was en-
tered into. The prospect is that it will be one of the
events, not only in Rose history but in the horticultural
world as well, and anyone who is able to should take
this trip. Full details will be given the trade in due
time as to the cost and contemplated stops on the way
out and return. S. S. Pennock, Sec'y pro tem.

Executive Committee Meeting

An interesting meeting was held at the City Club,
Philadelphia. Jan. 38, 1921, the members present being
Messrs. Pvle, Pennock, Boyd. McFarland. Mills, Simp-
son, and Pierson. In the absence of John C. Wister,
the secretary, Mr. Pennock. acted as secretary pro tem.

J. Horace McFarland, editor of the Rose Annual,
stated the book would go to press about Feb. 15, with
the idea of sending it out about March 10.

An admirable arrangement was entered into with the
Department of Agriculture for the dissemination of the
Dr. Van Fleet Roses, through the American Rose So-
ciety.

Charles Millang

Chas. Millang died at 11 o'clock Friday night, Jan. 28,.
at the Flushing Hospital, Flushing, N. Y., of a compli-
cation of diseases. Mr. Millang was 56 years of age.
He had been in poor health for several years, in fact
ever since he was severely injured in an automobile
accident, and had been a great sufferer. The death of
his only daughter, a few years ago, was also a shock
to him from which he never recovered. For the last
two or three months previous to his death he had been
in California, hoping to be benefited by the change and
there recover his health. From California he went to
Florida, remaining there but a short time. He came
North on Jan. 17, in a serious condition, and was taken
the next day to the Flushing hospital. He was buried
from his home at Bayside, L. I., after funeral services
in the Church of the Sacred Heart, on Monday,
Jan. 31, at 10 a.m. The interment was in St. Mary's
Cemetery at Bayside.

Mr. Millang, who was in business as a wholesale flo-
rist at 55 W. 26th St., New York City, was one of the
best known figures in the trade with which he had been
connected for the last 32 years. He was a Mason and
a member of the New York Florists Club. He is sur-
vived by a widow, Mrs. Antoinette Millang, and three
brothers, Frank, August and Joseph Millang, all well
known in the florist's business.

Harry N. Kelley

Harry N. Kelley, the Pemberton Hill florist of Cam^
bridge, Mass., died at his home, 63 Henry St., Cam-
bridge, on the night of Jan. 27. He had been confined
to his bed only a short time and his death came as a
great shock to his large circle of friends and relatives,
who will ever remember him for his sterling character
and many kindly acts. He was of a quiet disposition
and beloved by all who knew him.

Mr. Kelley was born in Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 8,
1877, and always lived in the city of his birth. Soon
after leaving school he entered the florist store of J.
Newman & Son, being associated with this store for ten
years. For the last 15 years he was associated in busi-
ness with his brother Frank P. Kelley in tlie florist busi-
ness at 15 Pemberton Square.

Mr. Kelley was a member of Cambridge Lodge of
Elks, Knight of Columbus, Mutual Realty Trust and
past president of the Holy Name Society of the Blessed
Sacrament Church of Cambridge. He is survi\ed by his
wife, Mary Curnane Kelley and one child. He also
leaves his mother, Mrs. Margaret Kelley, and five broth-
ers and two sisters.

The funeral took place from his late residence, on
Sunday, Jan. 30, at 1.30 p.m. Services at the Church of
the Blessed Sacrament at 2 o'clock. Solemn High Mass
was held at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament Mon-
day. Jan. 31, at 9 a.m.

Many florists of Boston, Cambridge and surrounding
towns, lodge brothers, friends and relatives honored
the beloved departed with a wealth of beautiful floral
tributes. G. Th.

The Florists' Exchange

First Annual Convention

National Flowrer Growers' Association

WASHINGTON, D. C, JANUARY 27, 1921

PRESIDENT W. J. KEIMEL opened the proceed-
ings promptly at 1 p.m., some two dozen members
and delegates being present, which number was
considerably increased later. Among those present
were : Secretary J. F. Ammann, Joseph Kohout, Earl
Mann, James Heacock, J. Denmead, Carl Hagenburger,
C. H. Plumb. Wallace R. Pierson, J. W. Pilcher, J. J.
Hess, Allan Pcirce, and Wm. Sim.

President W. J. Keimel's Address

Last August 3^ou conferred upon me the honor of
electing me president of this new organization. Since
that time I have tried to prove myself worthy of this
high honor. The work of organizing local districts in
the different sections of the country has fallen upon
our secretary, J. F. Ammann, and how well he suc-
ceeded you all know. There are now six local districts,
fully organized and represented at this our first meeting :
New England District, Buffalo District, Cleveland Dis-
trict, Chicago District, St. Louis District and Mid-West
District. At the time of calling this meeting our secre-
tary gave a pretty general outline of work before us
at this time, but I would like to draw your attention to
what I consider the main object of this society, and
that is to put our business on an equal plane with other
uptodate business organizations, and we can only ac-
complish this through thorough cooperation and na-
tional advertising, keeping our product continually in
the mind of the public.

In the last three years, through the Publicity Bureau
of the S. A. F. and O. H.. much has been accomplished,
and it is the duty of the men on the producing end to
carry this work on and put it on a solid footing.
Publicity Plan

To do this it will be necessary for us to set aside a
small part of our earnings for this purpose. There is
now a plan started in se\eral cities by which the grower
is assessed a small percentage of his gross receipts and
the retail florist a percentage on his purchases. In most
cases 75 per cent of -the amount so collected is used for
local advertising for the benefit of the retail florist and
25 per cent is used for national publicity for the benefit
of all. Up to date I believe this assessment to the
retail florist affects only the local people in the city
where such assessment is made, and as at least 50 per
cent to be turned over to the National Growers Associa-
houses of such cities is shipped out, it has been con-
sidered equivalent to assess the grower half the amount
of the retail florist. This is the plan now in effect in
Milwaukee and Chicago, and I believe expected to be
organized in some of the other large cities of the coun-
try. Now, I would recommend that this plan be started
wherever possible through the local districts of the
National Growers Association and that the plan be
changed so that the assessment will be levied on all
retail purchases, local and shipping, and the grower
be assessed the same percentage as the retailer on his
gross receipts; 75 per cent of the amount so collected
to be used locally for advertising and the other 25 per
cent be turned over to the National Growers Associa-
tion, which will use it in addition to such funds as will
be collected from growers not contributing through the
assessment plan and sums collected through other
sources in financing the National Publicity.

If this plan is worked out there is no doubt that in a
few years the Growers Association will be as strong
and do as much good for the growers as the Florists
Telegraph Delivery Association is doing at present for
the retail florists.

"Yale University made a canvass among the leading
advertisers in the following industries in order to learn
what percentage of their total sales was being used for
advertising, and this is what they found:

Automobiles 3.3 per cent

Automobile accessories 4.2 per cent

Food products 4.6 per cent

Fountain pens 5.3 per cent

Building materials 3.4 per cent

Office supplies 5.1 per cent

Optical goods 7.3 per cent

Paints and varnishes 4.0 per cent

Candies and chewing gum 8.1 per cent

"The last item appeals to us as a factor in determining
what we ought to spend. If it takes 8.1 per cent appro-
priation to sell candy, what should we do to advertise
flowers? Or, shall we call it merchandising and mar-
keting flowers?" — Henry Penn.

Such a plan will naturally induce the grower to pay
more attention to his accounts, and this opens another
field for this association by helping its members in
working up a uniform system of bookkeeping whereby

a cost system can be worked out to show if his business
is run at a profit or loss and in this way help to over-
come unfair competition.

Unfair Competition

Speaking of unfair competition, a district organi-
zation sent into the National Office the following :

"At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the
Western New York District of the National Flower
Growers Association, the matter of bulb auctions in
New York City was discussed.

"Many of our members, being assured that no bulbs
would be shipped to this country from Holland, except
such as were ordered in advance, bought their supplies
of Dutch bulbs and contracted to pay for them at the
high price quoted by the bulb salesmen in the Spring.

"Now, in spite of these assurances, millions of bulbs
which England refused to accept at the exorbitant
prices are being thrown on the American market. This
exposes our growers, who bought their goods early, to
big losses through the competition of these surplus
bulbs which are being sold far below the contract
prices.

"Our association wishes to register a protest against
this situation and urge the National Association to take
a drastic action to prevent the repetition of this situa-
tion. We would also request the National Association
to investigate and determine the source of these bulbs
which are being thrown upon the market and publish
this information through the membership so that they
may refuse to pay the high price in cases where there
has been misrepresentation."

Standardized System of Accounting

Another district organization sent the following:

"This association would welcome from you some sug-
gestions as to the correct methods for taking inventory
in greenhouses from the viewpoint of income tax.

"The question also arises as to the proper rate of
depreciation on iron, frame and wood construction and
the correct method of accounting for it.

"It is suggested that the National .Association make
a study of this problem with the idea of devising a
simple and standardized system of accounting adapted
to the needs of the small grower. If it should prove
feasible, a set of blanks might be prepared which would,
when filled in from day to day, give the grower the
information he needs regarding his own business. This
information is sadly lacking in most establishments and
its absence is the cause of many of our difficulties."

These are some things for your consideration at this
meeting. Besides this there are for your consideration
some suggestions of changes in the constitution and
bylaws which your officers thought advisable. The
question of dues on assessment is a very important one,
and the proper and just plan should be worked out at
this meeting; possibly Article 8 should be changed
so that all members contributing their share through
the assessment plan be relieved of any further dues.

Secretary J. F. Ammann's Report

The list of regularly elected delegates from the dis-
tricts permanently organized is as follows :
Chicago District — Joseph Kohout, August Poehlmann,

Henry Wehrmann, George Ball, Otto H. Amling.
New England District — Samuel J. Goddard, William

Sim, George G. Moyse.
St. Louis District — W. A. Amling, W. A. Rowe.
Western New York District— W. J. Palmer, H. B.

Brookins.
Mid-West District— Jas. S. Wilson.
Cleveland District — Carl Hagenburger.

Since the organization meeting at Cleveland, last
August, your secretary has visited the following cities
with a view of organizing district locals : Indianapolis,
Baltimore, New York, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, St.
Louis, Council Bluffs, Springfield (Ohio), Springfield
(111.), Milwaukee.

The following districts are now permanently organ-
ized, with membership as follows: Chicago, 110; New
England, 49; St. Louis, 36; Western New York, 27;
Cleveland, 10; and Mid- West, 18; making a total mem-
bership of 250. Districts that should yet be organized
are as follows : New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Pitts-
burgh, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Kansas City,
with probably two in the far West and two more in the
South, so, with what we now have, there is a possibility
of having about eighteen districts in all. '

With this data at hand we should readily be able to
decide whether or not there will be enough districts in
the whole country to make that form of organization
more practical than the plan of one large organization

maintained that the plan of organizing in units or dis-
with individual memoership. Your secretary has always
maintained that the plan of organizing in units or dis-
tricts is the better one. First of all, for the reason that,
through a district organization, the membership will be
more accessible and easier to get in touch with than
through one individual organization. Secondly, that the
data or census of our business can be more easily ac-
quired through district organizations than otherwise.
Thirdly, it brings the members into closer cooperation
so they may take up any matter pertaining to local
conditions.

As we are about to take final action at this meeting
on the adoption of a constitution and by-laws, we should
give the above much consideration. The question also
arises as to whether or not we should attempt in the
near future to undertake anything more than the work
of further completing more district organizations, gath-
ering the census from those districts already organized,
and national advertising. There are, no doubt, many
other important matters of vital interest to the members
of our organization and it will be well to take note of
any problems that the members feel this organization
should give attention to for further consideration.

I wish to state further that while the securing of
memberships to this organization and the perfecting of
district locals has been and is progressing rather slowly,
I do not feel at all discouraged for I realized from the
beginning that the task was not an easy one. It re-
quires a great deal of hard work and considerable
amount of patience. It is, however, far better to build
slowly and surely than to build so fast that it may not
be safe.

There is considerable expense incurred in organizing
a local district as it often requires several trips besides
a lot of time spent in correspondence, and even then
often organizations soon slumber for want of live lead-
ership and have to be revived again. I believe a good,
live, young man as a field worker, who could stay in a
given district, say for two weeks at a time, would be a'
great asset to the progress of our work. This, I am,
aware, all means additional expense. I feel, however,
that if we expect this movement to make the progress
it should we must put more cash into it. You cannot
build anything on wind. Each local district should bear
a portion of this initial expense with a fixed sum guar-
anteed before the field is entered by the national or-
ganizer.

You will note from the financial statement that no
monies have as yet been paid into the national associa-
tion by any of the districts. The cost of getting most
of these districts organized has been paid out of the
advanced loans from a few public-spirited men. This
money should be paid back as soon as possible and the
districts should be prompt in sending in the quarterly
payment of their pro rata dues to the national associa-
tion so these obligations may be met.

Your secretary has no further recommendations to
make at this time, except that the directors elected at
this meeting should immediately convene after its ad-
journment and formulate a plan for future work.

Publicity Committee's Report

This report contained the following recommenda-
tions :

First, that 35 per cent of all moneys collected by such
allied trade associations be paid into the National Grow-
ers Association.

Second, that the N. G. A. then become responsible
for financing the campaign for national advertising add-
ing to the amounts turned over to them by the allied
trade organizations, such additional sums as they can
acquire through their membership by an assessment on
glass area, from those growers who are not associated
with allied trade organizations, and from individual sub-
scriptions available from supply, material, bulb and
other firms benefitting from the progress of our trade.

Third, that the campaign of national advertising be
managed and carried on as heretofore by a publicity
committee, provided for by the constitution and by-law's
of the S. A. F. and O. H. with the recommendation that ■■
the presidents, in making appointments to said com-
mittee, always keep in mind the three branches of our
trade, so a fair representation of each will always be ■
on the committee. We also recommend that an advisory
board be created consisting of the president of each |
allied trade organization for cooperative advertising; i
it being the duty of this board to meet once a year in ;
joint session with the Publicity Committee of the S. A. i
F. and O. H., preferably during the national convention, i
for the purpose of considering and planning future cam- i
paigns for national advertising. |

We recommend an equitable assessment plan as fol- |
lows: The grower to pay 1 per cent on his receipts; the
retailer to pay 1 per cent on his purchases of plants,
cut flowers and greens; the wholesaler to pay 1 per
cent on his receipts from commissions ; all to be divided
as follows: 75 per cent of same to be used locally and
25 per cent nationally. To make this plan entirely equi-
table, an assessment of 1 per cent should be made on
all stock going through commission houses, whether
used locally or shipped out. All wholesale plant and ,
cut flower growers should apply this 1 per cent on all

February 5, 1921.

stcxrk sold by them direct, as well, to make it absolutely
uniform.

In the case of firowers not adjacent to a large market
or who sell their own product, either wholesale or re-
tail, they could allot their proportionate share on a
glass area basis by becoming members of some district
growers organization.

The N. G. A. committee appointed to deal with the
above report expressed the following views :

There is no doubt in the minds of any delegates
present but that the plan read is a just, fair and com-
prehensive one. We must not forget, however, that our
organization is yet in the making, and therefore must
go very slow in undertaking the part assigned to us
in this gigantic enterprise, and yet should support the
plan in every way we can. Therefore, we suggest that
the report and plan of The National Publicity Com-
mittee be approved as read, with the following amend-
ments :

1st, That this organization pledge one-half of the
receipts from the assessments based on glass area, along
with all individual subscriptions secured, to be appro-
priated to the publicity campaign, and that,

2d, Not to exceed ten per cent of the sums con-
tributed by the local allied florists associations be re-
served for e.xecutive expenses of the National Growers
Association, upon condition of the growers local assess-
ments being increased by all allied associations from
the present half of one per cent, to one per cent.

This report was unanimously adopted after consider-
able discussion had followed.

The Percentage Plan

James Heacock asked about the question of one per
cent as proposed. The proportion from a concern do-
ing a huge turnover would amount to an enormous sum.

President Keimel agreed the amount would be large,
but their experience in Chicago was that the weekly or
monthly amounts were not noticeable. Every one in the
scheme was agreed that it was the only equitable plan.

H. B. Brookins of Buffalo stated they had worked on
the percentage plan with success. G. Locker of Milwaukee
said that the percentage plan was efifective. They had
doubled their assessment and, if necessary, he thought
they could double it again.

Mr. Sim stated that in New England it was agreed
that the percentage plan was the only effective method.

Mr. Ammann expressed the belief that many held
back because they had not fully grasped the idea. The
fact that Poehlmann's of Chicago were in it proved that
it can be done in any city. He explained that all who
entered into the scheme automatically became members
of the N. F. G. A. without further dues, but those who

desired to be individual members could join the associa-
tion by paying $3 per 1000 sq. ft. He described a con-
versation he had had with J. S. Wilson, who readily
agreed to the assessment, although it practically doubled
the amount he had been giving to the fund.

Thomas Roland Speaks

Thns. K(.laiid expressed his gratification at the prog-
ress made. He believed there was now no active opposi-
tion. He had at first favored the square foot plan, but
he was now convinced that nothing less than one per
cent on total sales was the only practical method. The
movement was not merely to make money, but to con-
serve what they had and to build a strong position for
those who came after them. Regarding those who did
not or had not paid their share he urged all not to
worry.

Logic vs. Eloquence

During the progress of alteration of the bylaws, Wal-
lace R. Pierson and Secretary Ammann came into col-
lision regarding centers that were not submitting their
share under the recognized plan. Mr. Pierson urged
an amendment to the proposed alteration in the bylaws
and, in the end, he carried his point. Mr. Ammann
when he got the drift of Mr. Pierson's argument read-
ily agreed that he had overlooked it.

Exhibits at Annual Meetings

The question of certificates, medals and other awards
to be given at future meetings, when it was the inten-
tion to have trade exhibits, was brought up, and it was
agreed that a committee be appointed to deal with the
subject so that exhibits staged at future conventions
should receive recognition. Local meetings were to be
embodied in the scheme also.

Secretary Ammann read a letter on the coal question
that he had sent to one of his Senators, complaining of
the profiteering going on in recent years, and also the
reply thereto. Mr. Ammann was heartily thanked for
the service he had rendered, and it was agreed that the
letters be recorded on the minutes.

H. B. Brookins handed the secretary a cheque as first
contribution from Buffalo, and accompanied it with an
interesting record of the glass area in the Buffalo area.

Election of Officers

The announcement that all members present, delegates
or otherwise, could vote caused Mr. Plumb to sit up as
he had been under the impression that only fully recog-
nized delegates could vote. He admitted later he had
labored under a wrong impression. It was further ex-
plained, too, that by the alteration of bylaws, the asso-
ciation had now become a legal body so that all mem-

bers were entitled to vote at this, their first annual
meeting.

Next Meeting Place — Hartford, Conn.

Wallace R. Pierson explained what had been done in
connection with the American Carnation Society and
begged to tender the N. F. G. A. a similar invitation to
come to Hartford.

Joseph Kohout and Carl Hagenburger at once moved
and seconded that the invitation be accepted; it was
unanimously carried.

It was decided that Wallace R. Pierson. Earl Mann
and Carl Hagenburger form the committee to deal with
the awards proposition and, if not already available, tc^
draw up a scheme for judging plants. Their report is
to be submitted to the next director's meeting should
one be called before next Summer.

The meeting came to a conclusion about 6 p.m.

Nursery Department

(Concluded from page 303)
and Spring advertising campaigns perfected. Let both
be worked out intelligently along high-class lines. Re-
member, your catalog is your silent salesman. No, not
exactly silent, for if on poor paper, cheap worn-out type
and amateurishly arranged, it will fairly shout against
you. On the other hand, good, tasty advertising litera-
ture will speak volumes in your behalf by creating a
favorable impression of your business.

Buy, make, or repair your packing cases in readiness
for shipping. Look over your supplies — lumber, nails,
sheet-iron straps, paper, packing material, labels, flower
pots, tubs, raffia, stakes, poles, tools and machinery.
Have you a full supply of stationery, tags, etc.?

There is still work in the nursery, pruning and train-
ing trees, cutting out "culls" and saving the heavier
sticks for stakes and use in packing bales to protect the
contents from being broken off. Privet or shrubs which
you desire to make bushier may be cut back now, before
shipping season occupies all your time. Have you done
your Winter spraying? Don't neglect it till the last
horn blows.

Disposition of the S. A. F. Permanent Fund

Prominent Members of the Trade Express Their Thoughts, The Question is
Now Open for Discussion. Wide Divergence of Opinion Shown.

Your editorial on the use of the monies in the Permanent
Fund of the S. A. F. and O. H. was very interesting, as
it suggests a possible solution of a difficulty confronting
many young men interested in floriculture. There is no
doubt that more young men would take up the study
of floriculture in some college or university if they had
the necessary funds to help them through. While it is
true that it is possible for them to earn their living while
at college, it can only be done at the sacrifice of their
health or training. My own experience has shown that
at least 25 per cent of the floriculture students at Illinois
have found it necessary to earn all or part of their ex-
penses while carrying on their studies.

There is another difficulty confronting the florist. A
number of young men who are entering college and who
are naturally interested in floriculture take up other lines
of work because they can see no future in working for
another florist. When I speak of no future, I mean
m both position and salary. If they spend four and pos-
sibly five years in school they expect to be more than
just a superior workman. It is a well known fact that
the greater portion of the young men taking floriculture in
our colleges, today, expect to enter business for them-
selves as soon as possible after graduating.

Before considering the question of scholarships there
are several points that should be considered. The first
of these is the apprentice system. Why is it not a flour-
ishing institution in this country? Some say that our
ideas of democracy are against such a system. I will
grant that, but there is something else of more importance
in making the system obsolete with us. In my estimation
the apprentice method is too slow and too inadequate.
The young man of today is not content to know merely
how a thing is done but he wants to know why it is done.
He realizes, as the growing of plants under glass be-
comes more and more complex, that the florist must
know how to solve the new problems that confront him.

He also realizes that to be able to do this requires more
than an apprenticeship can give him.

If, then, the apprenticeship method is not a good one,
what kind of schools should we have? If it is merely
for the training of workmen, it is vocational schools that
are needed. If men are wanted who are capable of
handling a business, who are able to direct other men,
who are able to solve the problems confronting the
florist, then we want floriculture taught in our colleges
and universities.

If it is the college trained man that we want, then
what should our universities teach? We must concede
at the beginning that no educational institution can turn
out a finished florist. All that the college can do is
to help construct a foundation upon which the graduate
can build. This means that the graduate on leaving col-
lege should secure practical work in addition to what
he received at college, the amount depending upon his
previous experience.

If the college is a good one it will accept students who
have had a high school education or its equivalent and
give them considerable work in their chosen subject and
the fundamentals leading to it ; but it will also require
them to take other subjects that will broaden their view-
point and tend to make them greater florists, better citi-
zens, and more helpful neighbors.

This naturally leads to the question, what are our col-
leges doing for floriculture? This question may be
answered briefly by saying. Not as much as they should.
Why? Merely because the florists of the country have
not yet shown the educators and lawmakers that there is
a crying need for floricultural education. Several State
institutions are now offering good courses in floriculture
and others are ready to do their share as soon as funds
and instructors are available.

With these things in mind, the possibility of the S. A. F.
and O. H. opening a school may be considered. The

first thing to determine would be the kind of school.
If it is to be for the training of workmen, a greenhouse
range, a few buildings, a director and assistants are per-
haps all that would be necessary, provided the stock could
be sold to cover operating expenses. If the florists ob-
ject to the sale of these flowers, then there must be pro-
vision for an income sufficient to cover all expenses of
operation. If higher education is intended then there
would have to be classrooms and instructors for the fun-
damental and cultural subjects to be taught. This would
require several hundred thousand dollars for a plant and
equipment and an endowment sufficient to yield the funds
for proper maintenance.

It seems to me that the proper way to train our young
men is in our State institutions. The florists of the
States, with large greenhouse interests, should ask their
State institutions to add departments for teaching and re-
search in floriculture. I am of the opinion that the State
institutions would gladly offer such work if the funds
were available.

The S. A. F. and O. H. could then cooperate by offer-
ing scholarships to such young men as are worthy and
have insufficient funds to attend college. I am of the opin-
ion that such scholarships should only be offered with
the understanding that they be repaid within a specified
time after graduation. There should be no trouble along
this line if the recipient of the loan understands that as
soon as the loan is paid back it will be available for an-
other student.

I am not at all in favor of paying the florist for ac-
cepting a properly trained college graduate. I say this
because I do not believe that a student just out of college
should expect or be expected to take direct charge of a
range of glass unless he has had considerable greenhouse
practice previous to entering college. A florist hiring
a graduate can easily afford to pay him as much as any
good workman and train him into his work. If the grad-
uate has it in him, he will quickly show his worth and
can then be advanced.

I believe that the S. A. F. and O. H. could do nothing
better to advance floriculture to a higher level than to
help the young men to secure better training. If our na-
tional organization enters this field it should at the same
time start a campaign for better opportunities for the
men it is helping to train. H. B. Dorner,

Professor of Floriculture, University of Illinois.

The Florists' Exchange

The American Carnation Society

(Continued from page 289)
tary A. F. J. Baur and Treasurer F. E. Domer were
both nominated for re-election.

In expressing his tlianks Mr. Baur ventured the opin-
ion that as this would be his thirteenth year of oflTce,
■he considered that it was essential that a change should
be made. He desired to give the members the oppor-
■tunity of seeking a new candidate during the coming
j'ear. Theodore Dorner was unanimously nominated
for re-election as director, while S. J. Goddard and
Joseph Hill were nominated for re-election as judges.
Considerable amusement was created by the president's
■announcement that at least one more name must be sub-
mitted, as an actual election must take place. J. F.
Ammann ventured to express a word of pity for the
other fellow and, as no one evinced any desire to stand,
'Carl Hagenburger suggested that W. R. Pierson be
made the goat. Mr. Pierson forcibly stated that he
would readily play the goat if those present would sol-
emnly swear not to vote for him.

■George Asmusion^the Warpath

On behalf of the National Flower Show committee,
Mr, Asmus made a strong appeal to all to do their
utmost for the Cleveland Show in 1923. He expatiated
on the subject to some length; his remarks being per-
ihaps more forcible than was warranted. At the con-

W. D. Howard

President^elBct A. C S. See text, page 313

•elusion of his address C. S. Strout stated that there
-would be little room for criticism as regards the sup-
port given by the A. C. S. members.

AV. D. Howard .on Sterilization

Mr. Howard's address created considerable discus-
sion. Many members expressed their views and it was
•contended that the drying out of beds for several weeks
.had much the same effect as sterilization. Wm. Sim
•declared he had no time to steam his soil. He cleaned
his ground, removed the surface, added three inches of
-manure and well dug it in.

A. Campbell stated that they had tried using the soil
a second time but never again. Theodore Dorner de-
clared that both old soil and inside planting as adopted
ty Mr. Sim were impossible at Lafayette. Mr. Sim,
however, was not convinced; early planting inside was,
he believed, the main secret. Plenty of water, too, was
■essential ; his view was that many growers did not give
their plants enough water. Through the Summer, he
■always watered so that his plants remained wet all night.
Elmer J^ Weaver agreed that water in the evening was
good; they used the Skinner system with great suc-
cess. (Mr. Howard's paper will be found on page 249,
issue of Jan. 29.)

How Many Blooms per Square Foot

J. S. Wilson introduced the question of how many
Wooms per square foot was possible. He cited some
figures regarding several varieties, flowering from Octo-
ber to March. On old soil the average was 17 per
sq. ft.; on new soil the average was 18, but this was
•offset by the fact that on the new soil the plants were
■all good and planted early, while those on the old soil
were scrubs and planted three weeks later.

Mr. Goddard thought that average was decidedly
good. Mr. Sim agreed. Mr. Strout stated that Pink
Delight had given him 30 blooms to the square foot on
the entire season, while Joh-nson's White had yielded •tl.

In answer to a query from Mr. Wilson regarding the
length of time buds took to develop, Mr. Baur stated
that in Winter the average was six to eight weeks from
the time the buds first appeared; in the Spring a week
or ten days less, but varieties differed.

In the absence of C. P. Mueller, Secretary Baur read
the paper on "Increasing the Cut of Carnations for
Mother's Day," but as the hour was late it was decided
to adjourn the discussion until the following morning.

Thursday Morning Session

Promptly at 9 a.m. President Johnson called the meet-
ing to order. As on the previous evening between 40
and 50 members were present.

Hartford Wins

The first business was the selection of a meeting
place for next year. Hartford, Conn., and Cincinnati,
O., were competing for the event. W. R. Pierson had
on the previous day pointed out many worth-while in-
ducements on behalf of Hartford, chief of which was
the plan of holding a joint meeting with that of the
National Flower Growers Association, to which organi-
zation an invitation later on was offered and accepted.
On going to the vote Hartford was selected.

Immediately following this decision the name of N. C.
Osborn of Hartford was placed in nomination for the
office of vice-president, nominations for this office hav-
ing been held over the previous evening until the next
meeting place had been decided on.

A Class for 12 Blooms Suggested

Wm. Sim at this point suggested that a class for the
exhibition of twelve blooms be created in the belief that
such action would stimulate exhibiting both by the large
and small grower. The idea met with much approval
and it was decided to place the matter before the board
of directors. Mr. Sim later on offered to donate $25
as a first prize for the new class. Offers of $15 and
$10 from C. S. Strout and N. C. Osborn for second and
third prize respectively quickly followed. S. J. Goddard
also offered $25 for best vase of twelve of Laddie.

A good deal of interest was manifested in the sugges-
tion that exhibitors on all possible occasions bring their
exhibits along with them. At all previous meetings, and
this year as well, exhibits entrusted to the express com-
panies have arrived after the judging had taken place.
T. Dorner suggested that the S. A. F. and O. H. take
up this matter with the express companies. J. F. Am-
mann advised that such action by the mother society
had already been taken and that the Tariff and Legisla-
tion Committee had been granted a hearing before the
Interstate Commerce.
Mr. Mueller's Plan Not Feasible

The committee formed to report on the paper of C. ?■
Mueller with regard to increasing the cut of Carnations
for Mother's Day advised that in its opinion the plan
was not feasible. C. S. Strout added that to produce a
large quantity of cut blooms for Mother's Day would
entail a sacrifice of blooms, both before and after Moth-
er's Day, that in his belief would not be justified. (Mr,
Mueller's paper will be found on page 348, Jan. 29.)

At this point Wm. F. Gude announced that arrange-
ments had been made for the ladies present to see the
House and Senate in session that afternoon. All ladies
present were requested to join the party.
A Boutonniere Campaign

A member present noted that there were few men in
the meeting wearing a boutonniere. Robert Kift sug-
gested that the trade start a "Wear It" flower campaign.
Much interest was shown in this matter and it was be-
lieved that if all branches of the trade showed the
example to the public that so doing would constitute
one of the finest advertisements for flowers the trade
could put over.

Officers for 1921

The election of officers for the ensuing year then took
place.

All of the newly appointed officers who were present
thanked the members for the honors accorded them
and gave assurances of working to the best interests of
the society.

National Flower Show

The underwriting of the premium list for the Carna-
tion exhibits at the National Flo-vyer Show, Cleveland,
1923, was then in order, the following members losing
very little time in guaranteeing amounts recorded : C. B.
Strout, $50; Cottage Gardens, $50; H. W. Sheppard,
$50; W. D. Howard, $50; F. Dorner & Sons Co^, $50;
Baur & Steinkamp, $50; S. J. Goddard, $25; Coombs,
Florist, $25; E. Saunders, $25; Elmer J. Weaver, $33;
C. W. Johnson, $25; Wm. Sim, $25; Joy Floral Co.,
$25; S. S. Skidelsky, $35; E. Winkler, $10; H. Smith.
$10; J. C. Murphy, $15; G. Buxton, $25. The secre-
tary was instructed to continue the work of soliciting
subscriptions.

It was explained that an agreement had been reached
whereby the complete underwriting of all premium lists
for the National Flower Show was to be divided as
follows : S. A. F. and O. H., 75 per cent ; American
Rose Society, 15 per cent. ; American Carnation So-
ciety, 10 per cent. The participation of profits would
be at the same ratio.

The Hartford Show in 1922

Discussing the question of 'the Hartford Show in
1922, Fred Lautenschlager referred to a past exhibition
when, on the second day, the exhibits were given over
to the decorative florists who created some fine effects.
Mr. Strout expressed ithe view that exhibitors like
himself made use of the second day to examine the
exhibits, noting their standing qualities, etc. If the
blooms were re-arranged it was not possible to keep
track of their behavior. If decorative exhibits were
desired, he and others would readily bring along some
extra flowers for the purpose.

Carrying Over Plants for Two Years

Mr. Sim suggested that some of those present experi-
ment by carrying plants over two years. If they would
plant a bench of several varieties, they might, by inter-
course, learn a great deal. He believed it was possible.

Edward Winkler considered it would be necessary to
top the plants after Memorial Day in order to get them

N. C. Osborn

Vice-President-elect A. C. S., see text, page 313

into shape for the following season.

Mr. Baur said it was largely a matter of climatic
conditions. They were carrying over plants successfully
and would continue to do so. Regarding the suggestion
that growers should correspond on the subject, he
agreed; it would be more satisfactory than for anyone
to attempt to write details for publication.

No further business being up for discussion the mo-
tion for adjournment was carried at 11 a.m.

The Banquet on Thursday Night

Between 70 and 80 members, and friends, with a fail
proportion of ladies, partook of the feast provided ii
the exhibition hall of the new Willard Hotel. Th(
exhibits had been placed on tables right around thi
hall, a number of vases also being fixed to wall brackets
The wonderful basket of Laddie was given pride o
place on the platform behind the toastmaster's table.

The round dinner tables, some nine or ten in number
were disposed on the outside, the center of the nal
being left open. . . .

This displacement did not make for close mtimacy
one had the impression of being in the cold, which no
even the excellent music provided by a skillful trio en
tirely dispelled.

Adolph Gude, Jr.. was the first official speaker, ex
plaining that indisposition prevented President /
Harper Hetlierington of the W. F. C from tenderin
greetings. Mr. Gude heartily welcomed all present, coi
eluding by introducing Wm. F. Gude as toastmaster.

Toastmaster Gude briefly explained that it was n(
his intention to talk, others more able than he wei
present. He had hoped that their esteemed Secretai
of Agriculture would be present, but circumstances pr
vented it. He had pleasure, however, in introducii
the Hon. Dr. Ball, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture

Fcbruan 5, 10"? I.

The Florists' Exchange

313

Dr. Ball made an eloquent address, referriiiK to the
interest that the Department of AgricuUnrc had in hor-
ticulture, lie greatly impressed all present hy his ref-
erences to what he declared was fast becoming a crisis
It was becoming evident that the United States would,
if the growth of population and food production con-
tinued as it had done in latter years, cease to be an
exporter of foodstuflfs in about 15 years.

He referred to the mar\'elous growth of Chicago,
which in 50 years had become the fourth city in the
.vorld. If food exports ceased Chicago would cease to
grow also. He earnestly declared that what this coun-
try wanted was more money devoted to production and
lo.s on battleships.

.\lfred Schultheis, president of the Washington Cham-
ber of Commerce, touched upon many subjects and
described how Washington business men had bcnelUed
hy cooperation in recent years. The war, he said, had
taught them many lessons, and he was pleased to know
that the florists had realized the advantages of co-
operation.

C. W. Johnson, president of the A. C. S., answered
Toastmaster Gude's call by briefly comparing the Wash-
ington Show with those of the past. It was his opinion
that finer flowers were n^ver shown, and he had been
gratified by the attendance at the business sessions. He
also thanked members for the kindnesses shown him
during the past year. At his request. Secretary A. F. J.
Baur announced the winner of the Texas prize. Follow-
ing this, C. S. Strout read resolutions relating to the
deaths of Chas. W. Ward, P. O'Mara and Jacob Schulz.
On motion by J. F. Ammann these resolutions were
accepted by a standing vote.

Theodore Dorner, on behalf of the A. C. S., thanked
the florists of Washington for the attention given to
the society.

S. A. F. Vice-President Adolph Gude, in conimenting
upon Alfred Schultheis's speech, described the risks that
florists face from weather alone, and mentioned how
one great concern lost $250,000 in 15 minutes through
liail. In conclusion, he referred to the S. A. F. con-
vention in August and assured a hearty welcome to all
on that occasion.

J. F. Ammann made a brief speech followed by Mrs.
Ella Grant Wilson who emphasized the need of educat-
ing the public as to the cost of producing flowers. She
also touched upon the subject of publicity.

New England Nurserymen's Association

(Continued from page 306)
C. H. Greaton of Providence, R. I., recalled Mr. Far-
quhar's warning at last year's meeting about not raising
prices too much, but thinks that many wholesalers did not
heed the warning. He hopes that they will now let up
a little so as to help both retailer and consumer and
thereby help business a good deal in increasing sales,

I Some New Shrubs of Merit

I C. Van der Voet, who as superintendent of the Arnold
: Arboretum, keeps closely in touch with all the new in-
troductions into this country, made an eloquent appeal
. for the trying out of new shrubs and trees, of which, he
says, there were never offered so many useful and note-
worthy species and varieties. He especially called at-
: tention to the late introductions of E. H. Wilson and
greatly deplored the fact that the nurseryman takes so
: little interest in a matter which should receive his firm
support. He went at length into the merits of many new
shrubs, etc., recommending especially the following;
; Hamamelis mollis, Euonymus planites, Berberis
I Koreana, Rosa Arnoldeana, Cotoneaster racemaeflora,
Perpucilla Wilsoni and Prunus Sargentii. He also men-
tioned a number of beautiful new evergreens that have
I proved perfectly hardy here. Mr. Farquhar supple-
■ mented the list with Picea albertiana conica, introduced
. some years ago by Mr. Jack of the Arnold Arboretum,
' which he thinks has a great future, as it stands the
worst exposure and fiercest winds. Lonicera Mackii
podocarpa is another fine shrub which keeps its beau-
tiful green foliage and translucent fruit until after
; Christmas.

' Mr. Farquhar then introduced Albert C. Burrage,
1 newly elected president of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society, proclaiming that, just when the horticultural
! interests in Boston were most in need of a leader capable
of new thoughts and full of action, the very man had
been found and had come forward in the person of Mr.
Burrage, of whose deep appreciation of and love for
horticulture every man, woman and child in Boston has
: become aware.

Mr. Burrage is one of those rare speakers whose words

sink deep into the hearer's conscience ; words that stir

up thoughts and incite to action. His address is force-

:. ful, yet pleasant and soothing and the flow of his words

; shows a depth of sincere feeling and a perfect under-

' standing of the matter in hand. His sentences are well

I chosen and the points of his argument follow in perfect

I sequence until the speaker's whole tale is unfolded like

a picture before the listeners' eyes and minds.

Mr. Burrage explained how the nurseryman's life.

The proceedings came to a close shortly after 10 p.m..
with a dance, bringing to a conclusion the Both annual
convention of the American Carnation Society. The or-
der now is : "Prepare for Hartford."

W. D. Howard

President American Carnation Society

All agree that no better choice could have been made
for 1931.

Mr. Howard is a native of Milford, Mass., as was
his father. He was trained as a machinist, at which
trade he worked until he was about 35, when he gave
up the work to assist his father who had started a mar-
ket garden and florist's business. His father, however,
died within a few months and the younger Howard had
to carry on.

That he did so successfully, is proved by the manner
in which he developed his glass area, while his posi-
tion today as a Carnation grower is pre-eminent. De-
tails regarding his uptodateness were given in these col-
umns, Jan. 22, page 213.

''Morning Glow", as grown by Edward Winkler,
|!^ Walceiield, Mass.

This house was planted Aug. 14, 1920; photograph taken in Oct., 1920
after blooms had been cut.

contrary to that of so many other occupations destructive
of nature, is one that always deals with beauty and con-
structive plans, its purpose being to make this world
more beautiful. He showed how the interests of the nur-
seryman are those of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety and each is dependent upon the other. Ninety years
ago there were no nurserymen, so to speak, and since that
time, when the Mass. Hort. Society was started, its exist-
ence and work have greatly benefited the nursery trade.
With the help of the society's exhibitions the nursery-
man's products are brought before the public in a much
more effective way than through catalogs, etc. There-
fore, he claimed, the nurseryman should become an active
member of the M. H. S. and give it his hearty support.
At present, investigation has shown him only 16 mem-
bers of the New England Nurserymen's Association be-
long to the M. H. S., which, he thinks, reflects sadly on
the nurserymen's organization. The 974 members of the
M. H. S. are people — largely amateurs— who love plants
and who often own large estates; they need the nur-
seryman's products and from them the nurseryman can
derive a profit.

Mr. Burrage touched on many other important sub-
jects which lie close to the nurseryman's heart and
pocketbook and was given an enthusiastic vote of thanks.

The committee on amendments recommended several
changes and after a lively discussion it was voted to
change Article 4 of the bylaws, so that each firm shall
have only one vote in the association.

It was proposed to organize a vigilance committee
to look after infractions of the ethical and moral laws
of the nursery business. Under this head come dis-
honest advertising and the question of how the association
shall protect its members against the evils of fake ad-
vertisements. After a vigorous discussion the president
appointed a committee to investigate and report.

To'Protect Our National Parks

Harlan P. Kelsey brought to the attention of the asso-
ciation the fact that powerful commercial and industrial
interests are busily working to deprive the nation of the
water in its national parks. He admonished all members
to call upon their representatives in the Senate and Con-
gress for protective action. He also distributed litera-
ture explaining what is threatening and giving advice
as to how to combat the danger. It was promptly voted
that a resolution of protest be sent to the Senate and
to Congress at once.

Apprentice System Approved by Majority

Prof. Frank A. Waugh of the Mass. Agricultural Col-
lege at Amherst, opened the second day's sessions by
speaking on "Nursery Training in Schools and Colleges."
He went deeply into the subject, demonstrating how, al-

N. C. Osborn

Vice-President American Carnation Society

For sixteen years, N. C. Osborn has been responsible
for the output from the big plant controlled by Coombs,
Florist Hartford (Conn.). Carnations are his hobby
and that he knows how to grow them is proved by the
successes achieved at the A. C. S. exhibitions. They
grow about 30,000 Carnation plants, and have two
houses of Roses, about 13,000 plants. Mr. Osborn vyas
born in Hartford 46 years ago and has two promising
sons one seventeen and the other fourteen. He started
his Carnation career with the late James L. Fillow of
Westport Conn., considered one of the best Carnation
growers of his time. The Coombs range embraces two
Hitchings houses, each 54ft.x420ft. ; these were erected
under Mr. Osbom's supervision.

The fact that he is a keen Camationist and is located
right in Hartford, augurs well for the A C. S. con-
vention in 1923 and, as he will be backed by all the
florists of the East, a successful exhibition is assured.

though the colleges do all in their power to give the
student a technical and scientific schooling in all phases
of horticulture and agriculture, this can not alone turn
out perfect nurserymen. The real, practical part of the
nurseryman's business can only be acquired m the nur-
sery itself, so the ambitious young man should go through
an apprenticeship of two or three years in a good nur-
sery before entering the college and, after leavmg the
college, complete a year or so more of practical work.
The speaker thinks that this system is much better de-
veloped in Europe than in America, but he also thmks
that the agricultural colleges are far superior here.

The succeeding discussion brought out many speakers,
all of whom concurred more or less with Prof. Waugh s
remarks. The whole discourse turned upon the point
that young men should, or rather must be educated for
the nursery business. All agreed that young men to-
day will not enter the nursery business for one reason
or another, and that, for this reason, efficient foremen
and superintendents are becoming a thing of the past.
Consequently, the consensus was that some sort of an ap-
prenticeship system must be devised.

Walter Campbell stated that the Federal Board of
Vocational Training is anxious to place disabled young
men, who have returned from oversea service, with
nurserymen, so as to give them the chance to learn
a useful business. It will board and pay such young
men for two years.

^ Association Strong for National Botanic Garden

The idea of establishing in Washington, D. C, or
thereabouts, a National Botanic Garden, trial grounds
and museum, met enthusiastic support. It is clearly seen
that such an institution would be of great benefit to nur-
serymen, as it would be a place where new plants could
be observed and whence they could be distributed all over
the country. It was unanimously voted to send to VVash-
ington a committee of three, consisting of the president,
secretary and Geo. Thurlow, also a resolution favor-
ing the establishment of a botanic garden of at least 1000
acres, with branches in the South, in the mountain region,
on the Pacific slope and elsewhere.

Nursery Conditions Difficult in Europe

John K. M. L. Farquhar's formal address was on "Nur-
sery Conditions in Europe." He pictured how, after
undreamed-of delays and trouble, he at last arrived in
Paris, whence he made excursions to the nurseries of
France. Near Paris he visited the Rose garden of the pro-
prietor of one of the city's department stores. This
garden contains a collection of 770 varieties of Roses;
also a complete museum, filled with articles that have
to do with the use and care of Roses, including pictures,
statues, etc. Connected with this museum is a theater,

where Rose festivals are held. New and old varieties
are distributed from this establishment by giving them
to a small gardener who passes them on to his friends.

The celebrated Vilmorin nurseries, near Paris, will
probably be separated or disposed of, as they have
passed from the control of the family, which lost several
of its most important members in the \var. Air. Farqu-
har found the French nurserymen pretty sore at America
on account of the quarantine and with some reason. The
French nurseries have always grown for the American
trade an immense amount of stock which cannot be
sold in other countries. The Levavasseur nurseries and
many others are about ruined on this account. Hundreds
of thousands of the finest shrubs have grown out of
size during the last few years and must be thrown
away.

Variegated shrubs are largely used all over Europe.
Sunshine being less frequent than here, the landscape is
enlivened with colored shrubs which are often planted
in designs and beds, much as we plant flower beds. In
one of the parks Mr. Farquhar saw the rare Davidia
involucrata in bloom. In many of the parks, and also
on large or small estates, purple leaved Beeches are ex-
tensively used for large massed groups and along the
edges of woods. On the private estates planting is
going on as before the war.

In Belgium things are bad. Plenty of Azaleas but
very few Bay trees are left, and there is no inducement
to keep up a supply, since nothing can be exported to
America; the German and Russian markets are also
blocked. Still the people have hopes that America will
open her gates again.

The speaker was much surprised to see the inmiense
weeds which have grown on the soil that was plowed up
by shot and shell. He said, in some places it takes
four horses and a whole day to plow just one acre, on
account of the weeds and holes in the ground. He then
described the condition of the country where the furor
of the battles had raged and praised the indomitable
spirit and activity of the French women, without whose
help France would have been lost. They worked, with
the help of the old men and children, from four in the
morning until nine at night tending and bringing is
the crops.

In Holland much land has been turned over to the pro-
duction of vegetables since the war started, but the re-
maining nurseries are kept up. Denmark is becoming
more and more a competitor of Holland along horticul-
tural lines.

In England conditions are good. The only drawback is
the want of enough good nursery help. Wages of gar-
deners there have advanced considerably, being now i3
per week for common laborers and at least £500 per j'ear,
for head gardeners. But at that the nurseries are ex-
periencing a great lack of trained help. Some are there-
fore in bad condition. One nursery that employed 70
men before the war was allowed but six during the
period of hostilities. All the same, the horticultural
spirit in Etigland, as all over Europe, is as strong as
ever and things are coming around by degrees.

One grower was visited who had 2000 varieties of
Rhododendrons ; on another private estate was found
a wonderful collection of evergreens from all parts of
the world. Many fine private estates have been closed
up or are going to be, the fortunes of war and deaths
in the family having made themselves felt. One big
estate is, however, maintaining itself by selling off speci-
mens.

^ At the opening of the afternoon meeting the asso-
ciation voted to send a resolution pledging its hearty
cooperation and a cheque for $50 to the Allied Horti-
culturists Committee.

Supplies and Prospects Surveyed

"Supply and Demand" was the subject interestingly

discussed by A. E. Robinson, who finds that in New

England the growing of ornamental trees and plants

predominates over the raising of fruit stocks. Stock

Spencer Sweet Peas in California

Our two pictures show a large planting of Spencer
Sweet Peas, grown on Brown's Bulb Ranch, Capltola,
Santa Cruz, CaUf. Questioning Mr. Brown as to why
so many of the older varieties (grandifiora) were still
being grown in California, we were informed they yield
a much heavier crop and that there was still consider-
able demand for them.

of many kinds of trees and shrubs is short at present
on account of past war and labor conditions. Dwarf
evergreens are nearly exhausted, also Rhododendrons
and other broad-leaved evergreens. The supply for the
small growing sorts will probably not be adequate for
five years or more. There is a. large supply of the
larger evergreens available out West, but the stock
is not good enough for New England, or not suited
to our climate.

Deciduous shrubs are not plentiful just now, but in a
short while enough will be grown and when ten cent
shrubs may again be offered for sale. However, New
England will have to grow its own supply.

Roses are scarce and hard to find. The stocks of
Hybrid Perpetuals and Teas are controlled by 12 or 15
firms and as Roses need maximum skill, it may be some
time before enough are produced. Climbers are an
easy proposition, and it Is no trouble to make them.

In fruit trees we may look for lower prices in one
to two years, though Quinces will be short for some
years to come.

Hardy perennials are easy to propagate and therefore
no trouble is to be feared. So far the demand has kept
up to the supply.

Prices for nurserj' stock have risen to a fair level
during the last two years and the nurserymen should
cooperate in all matters so as to keep the prices within
reasonable bounds. To this end, much can be accom-
plished bv an intelligent regulation of plantings, etc.
Efforts should also be made, more than ever, to edu-
cate the public in the use of trees, shrubs and plants,
which work is a great inducement to larger sales. Co-
operation, standardization and the development of trade
opportunities are the greatest helps to the nursery busi-
ness and should be cultivated for all they are worth.

The discussion following Mr. Robinson's address
dealt mainly with standardization, there seeming to be
much difference of opinion as to what It really means.
The subject was given to a committee of three which
will investigate and report at the next meeting.

A. E. Robinson moved that the association approach
the American Rose Society in regard to establishing a
Rose Test Garden in or near Boston, pledging its sup-
port and assistance in behalf of such a project. A
resolution to this effect, to be forwarded to the Ameri-
can Rose Society, was adopted unanimously.

The matter of patent or copyright protection for new
creations of plants aroused considerable discussion, but
nothing of any importance resulted therefrom.

The banquet on the evening of January 25 was a
great success, 67 members and guests enjoying a splen-
did dinner, good music and brilliant entertainment

The Market

Feb. 1. — The first of February
brings only minor changes in the condi-
tion of the wholesale cut flower market.
The supply is about the same as that of
last week, but the demand has not
changed for the better, consequently
prices have a downward tendency, except
on the few items of stock which are m
short supply.

Am. Beauty Roses are in extremely
short supply; special grade blooms are
selling at 7flc. to $1.25 each, other grades
proportionately. Top grade blooms of
other Eoses are moving rather slowly at
12c. to 40c. each, but the small supply of
Key is realizing 75c. to $1 each. The
demand for No. 2 and No. 1 grade Eoses
is not as active as it has been for several
weeks; they are bringing somewhat lower
prices, namely $6, $8 and, in a few cases,
¥10 per 100.

Carnations are in considerably larger
supply, but there is no corresponding in-
crease in the demand. Prices are lower;
select grade blooms are bringing $6 to $8
per 100: other grades %i to $5. These
prices do not include Laddie which is
realizing $12 to $15 per 100.

Cattleyas are in larger supply and the
demand is rather weak; prices are lower,
ranging from 20c. to 50c. each, with occa-
sional small sales of extra choice blooms at
75c. A few Cypripediums and sprays of
Oncidium are seen, for which there is little
demand. The Gardenia situation remains
about the same as regards supply, demand
and price, the latter ranging from $1 to $6
per doz. Lily of the Valley appears to be
in smaller supply and the best blooms this
week have advanced in price to $8 per
100. The arrivals of white Lilies are much
larger; they are bringing $15 to $25 per
100. Pink Lilies are in short supply and
selling at $10 to $15 per 100.

There is a seasonably large supply of
bulbous stock. The demand for this is
less active; prices consequently are lower,
;is will be seen by referring to our price
list. The present arrivals include Callas,
Freesies, Roman and Dutch Hyacinths,
and all seasonable varieties of Narcissi
and of Tulips. A limited number of Dar
win Tulips is seen, which sell at about
!<1.60 per bunch.

The supply of miscellaneons flowers re-
mains about the same and is meeting with
a moderate demand at quoted prices. The
list includes Antirrhinum, Buddleia, Bou-
irdia. Calendula, white and yellow
Daisies, Lilac, Mignonette (the price of
which has taken a big drop) ; Pansies, Pri-
mula (perhaps the only new flower in the
market) ; Stevia, Sweet Peas, Violets and
Wallflowers.

To the usual list of indoor grown
greens, is added this week sprays of As-
paragus elongatus from Florida; otherwise
the list, the supply, the demand and the
iirices of both the indoor and hardy greens
■emain about the same.
Coming Events

Ash Wednesday this year falls on
Feb. 9. It has sometimes been thought that
the sale of flowers was curtailed somewhat
during the Lenten period, because many
people then refrain from social festivities.
On the other hand, this curtailment of the
use of flowers for such occasions seems in
late years to be in a large measure offset
by the increased use of these for sending
to the homes of those who are sick, or to
hospitals. Certainly, after the first week
of Lent, the flower business seems to
move along about as usual.

Monday, Feb. 14, will be Valentine's
Day. This day should stimulate the sales

I of flowers, and it is not too much, we
think, to say that it is the business of the

I retail florists to advertise and to do all
they can to make Valentine's Day one of

I the great events in the florists* business.
It certainly needs no elaborate argument
to prove that there is no more delicate and

1 appropriate Valentine's gift than a box

I or corsage of flowers.

, Ladies Night, Neir Tork Florists
Club

Ladies Night of the New York Flo-

I rists Club will be on Monday evening,
Feb. 14, at the Engineering Building,
25-3.3 W. 39th St. This promises, the
House Committee reports, to be a very
pleasant evening. Members should all be
on hand with their better halves. Pro-
posed members are especially invited; ex-
tra guest may be invited by members at
the cost of $1 each. Eefreshments will
be served; all should be out.

new Rose American Legion at M. C.

E. C. Hauser, 55 W. 26tli Ht., is quite
sick with pneumonia at his home on E.
10th St. Hie fellow wholesale florists on
the floor of the Cut Flower Exchange re-
cently sent hiiTi a basket of fruit and
flowers. Mr. Haueer has been connected
with the business for many years and, when
in health, is a well known figure every
morning on the floor of the Exchange.

On Thursday night, Jan. 28, at about
10 o'clock, the second and third, stories of
the building at 104 W. 28th st., the first
floor of which is occupied by Harry
Charles, wholesale florist, were completely
burned out. Mr. Charles' store was
flooded with water and left in a dangerous
condition overhead by the fire; he has
been obliged to vacate, at least for the
present, and has taken temporary quarters
with George C. Siebrecht, 109 W. 28th at. ,

When calling this week at the Henshaw
Floral Co., we noted among the many va-
rieties of Carnations which this company
is receiving, some fine blooms of the deep
pink Carnation, Hope Henshaw. This va-
riety is reported by the grower to be a
very proline bloomer and rooted cuttings
of it are in great demand. We also noted
at the same place some unusually fine
Freesia blooms on long stems, and a com-
prehensive supply of uptodate Roses and
Sweet Peas of excellent quality. Many
other items of stock at this store make
up the general supply. This company re-
ports that the hardy greens department
IS quite busy.

We note in the windows of many of
the wholesale and retail florists of this
city, colored posters sent out by the
Florists Publicity Service Bureau of Chi-
cago, 111. On this is shown Cupid in a
snow storm sitting on a bank of snow
and weeping. The legend is "Don't leave
Cupid in the Cold, 'Say it with Flow-
ers,' Saint Valentine's Day, Feb. 14."

C. A. Lalages, the well known retail
florist, is back from a three weeks' hunt-
ing trip along the Aroostic River, in
Maine. The spoils of the trip consisted
of two deer and a bear, the skin of the
latter, Mr. Lalages has had mounted in
the form of a mat.

ington ave., at 86th st., whose marriage we
recently noted, is just back from his
honeymoon in Atlantic City and he and
I Mrs. Denis have taken an apartment at

We noted this week at Sampson & Noe's,
sprays of Asparagus elongatus from Flori-
da. We have not hitherto seen these
sprays of Asparagus in the market; it is
quite different in appearance from either
plumosus or Sprengeri. The sprays are
arge and are carried on long stems. We

The Oreat Chicago Flower Market is
so large that it is almost impossible for .
those not directly connected with it to j
realize its size and importance. Can you •
imagine more than 200 greenhouse estab-
lishments, making a total of from 12 to
15 million square feet of glass, shipping
their products into the Chicago market!
Every greenhouse establishment aver-
ages over 10,000 sq. ft. of glass, many
over 30,000, most of them over 50,000,
quite a number over 100,000, a few from
500,000 to 1,000,000 sq. ft. each, with one
of 2,000,000, making in all a total of
nearly 15,000,000ft. of glass producing
cut flowers for the Chicago market, the
growth of which has practically taken
place within the past 25 years. This
growth has been accelerated largely by
the superior shipping facilities the city en-
joys, which enable the delivery of flowers
in first class condition to all points within
a radius of over 1000 miles.

The demand from such a vast area has
stabilized the sale of flowers to such an
extent as to encourage the growers to
extend their ranges and lias also caused
many new firms to start in tlie business,
so that in the last 20 years the output
has increased at least 1000 per cent.

Chicago

] Market

r3b. 1. — The long expected turn in
iket conditions has come at last. The
1 week saw a general breaking away
( ; the rigorous conditions brought
).t by the shortage that existed
L ughout the entire monthi of Janu-
r. The change though slow was,
j'rtheless, bound to come. Wiiile tlie
jiet is on an easy basis, it is as yet
ufrom normal for the season. Roses
a Carnations in supply are still slightly
j.ud the demand. It is the excellent
i crops coming in that are bringing
iif ; these are increasing in supply and
imin^ better quality from day to day,
>Jhat it is not unreasonable to expect
ill crop within the next ten days,
ithis time, the Rose and Carnation
Ss will again be in the fulness of
K- early Spring production, which
j combined with other stock, yield as
bidant a supply for Valentine's Day
saas ever been known on tlie local
Nket. The dealers are preparing this
'<.i their advance price lists for St.
itntine's shipping Feb. 11 to 13, and,
inating on a liberal supply, prices are
tenable to the purchasers and should
satisfactory to the growers. Shipping
i;'ness has been active the past week,
'U a tendency rather toward light
ujig on the part of city purchasers.
t3 the general impression that before
tt present week comes to an end all
t rs will be filled in full at a sharp
e;ction in prices. The millennium of
c;er selling has begun, and we will not
e rn to the stringent conditions of the
1, th just past for at least 100 years or

I he Rose supply at present is just
l it equivalent to tlie demand ; more
Q'd be used in short stock if to be
f\ but the general trend is to a fuller
U)ly in the very near future. The
V ity of the stock coming in is excel-
i\ and a wide range ot varieties is
eesented. Short stock is selling for
tper 100, then up to $25 and $30 for
E ial and select stock.

arnations like the Roses are im,-
■ling in point of supply, but still not
atroportion to the demand and prices
d inue firm. For medium and ortfinary
lies, the price is from $4 to $6 per
Ij with Laddie and other fancies bring-
ttfrom $10 to $15 per 100.

; ulbous stock is coming in increased
erne daily, and before long there will
;u large supply of everything in this
4 of stock. The Trumpet Majors are
'liing but the Golden Spurs more ac-
e ably take their place. These are

I ging good prices from $8 to $12 per
(' that should be pleasing to the grower
J encouraging to the Holland bulb
asmen who keep an eye on the whole-
a cut flower market to see how much
k growers are realizing on their pur-
heB of the past year. It gives them
i?er hopes for the future, and is an
;_S:t to many of them in their calcula-
i(s. The offering in Tulips is so far
i(; extensive, La Reine dominates the
rre supply. Then there are some Yel-

0 Prince, about the only one in its
■cr go far, in singles. Cramoisi Bril-
I't is the best red to date, some Cou-
cie d'Or of good quality is seen. These

II bringing from $8 to $12 per 100.
. erwhite Narcissi is plentiful at from
i^:o $6. Freesias are to be had all the
7 from $4 to $8 per 100, but there is

1 i-ide range in the quality for stock
ilving.

iweet peas are coming into full crop
iJ will be in big supply for Valentine
->'. There is enough of Valley; Orchids
ii: more plentiful. The Violet supply
B|ncreasing nicely to meet the big de-

mand that IB expected the end of the
coming week. The green situation re-
mains unchanged since the new express
rate advanced wild Smilnx to S7.50 per
case and fancy ferns to $5 per 1000.

Nexes Notes

Chicagoans who have to stay at home
and look out on the snow covered streets
or face the chilly breeze of Lake Michi-
gan, are occasionally reminded that there
are more sunny lands than ours. Postals
from several well known trade members
sojourning in more agreeable climates
than this have been frequent around the
market. Phil Folej', C. J. Michelsen,
Paul Weiss and their wives are enjoying
the beauties of California and basking in
its sunshine and flowers. N. J. Wietor,
Peter Reinberg, and their families and
H. B. Kennicott are seeing the sights in
Florida. Yes, the trade in general enjoy
life out this way. We have a capitalistic
contingent who can do better, and those
who can't do as well, do the best they
can.

J. J, Karins, representing Henry A.
Dreer, Philadelphia, Pa., is in the city ;
he reports business good. The depression
felt in other lines of trade is unknown
to the florists. They are buying well and
optimistic as to future business condi-
tions.

Geo. Blackman and wife, Evansville,
Ind., have been in the city several days
and have been highly entertained by the
representatives of the many wholesalers
with whom they have large business con-
nections.

The Chicago delegation to the exhibi-
tion and meeting of the American Carna-
tion Society and other related meetings
returned Saturday morning.

The members were unanimous in praise
of the exhibition and the large amount
of business transacted at the various
meetings.

Everything is in readiness for the La-
dies' Night and Novelty Exhibition of
the Chicago Florists Club, on Feb. 3.
Complimentary tickets are being freely
distributed by the committee. In the
novelty exhibition there will be a fine
display of all that is new in Roses, Carna-
tions, Sweet Peas, and many other lines
of plants and supplies.

The Illinois State Nurserymen's Ass^n
will hold its annual convention at the
Hotel La Salle, on Wednesday and
Thursday, Feb. 9 and 10. A large at-
tendance Is expected, as there are many
important papers to be discussed, and
other important business to be transacted.

A. Henderson & Co., are making rapid
progress in the extension of their trade,
having recently added some well known
salesman to their selling force. Wm.
Langhout, a most successful bulb man,
has been with the house for some time.
Recently G. M. Reburn, also a salesman
of reputation, known all over the West,
has connected himself with the sales de-
partment of the house. S. Dernison, an-
other capable bulb man, is sending in
some good business from the South. This
makes a trio in salesmanship whose
ability is hardly equalled by any other
on the road.

The Kennicott Bros. Co. is handling a
supply of Buddleia asiatica that is meet-
ing with much favor at the hands of the
house's customers. It is a distinct
novelty at this season, and grown by R.
J. Windier, a specialist in novelty cut
flowers. Joe. E. Pollworth is not only
secretary and treasurer, but principal
overseer as well during the absence in
Florida of H. B. Kennicott, who has ex-
tensive interests in Orange groves and
the production of green goods for the
Chicago market.

St. Louis, Mo.

The Maxket

The weather was considerably
cooler the first part of the week, but
indications point to a mild Winter. There
was a slight increase in supply, not suf-
ficient, though, to lower prices to any
extent. Graduation exercises produced
quite a demand for Carnations and Roses.
Roses were quoted at $15 to $40; Carna-
tions, $8 to $12; Roman Hyacinths and
Narcissi, $6; Jonquils, $12; Violets, $1
per 100: Sweet Peas, $2 to $4. Greens
of alt kinds were in demand. Valentine
novelties are being displayed by the
wholesalers and likewise by the _retailers.

Trade Conditions

Trade in general continues in fair-
ly good volume, notwithstanding the gen-
eral slack-up of manufacturing industries.
It may be, though, the apparent briskness
is due to a not over large amount of cut
flowers on the market just now ; these are
usually sold soon after arrival, resulting
in bare ice boxes after the shipping orders
are disposed of. The weather is also
favorable for transient business, and there
is always a little going on socially that
calls for a few flowers and so, with the
addition of a little funeral work, the pre-
vailing supplies clean up daily.

Sweet Peas will soon be on the market
in abundance, the weather being fine for
them, while Violets are beginning to re-
cover from the effects of the excessive
warm weather last Fall and now promise
big yields, although rather too late to
show much profit this season. — Saturday
is McKinley Day, but this does not, or
has not bad much effect on the trade in
recent years, so nothing is expected of it.

for Easter unless next month is very
bad ; also a lot of well grown Cyclamen
and Cineraries, that come in nicely for
present sales, and are specially popular
for hospitals and sick rooms as they make
a cheerful showing for the time they live,
which, as a rule, is not long in sick rooms.
Van Bochove's will soon pick heavy in
Sweet Peas ; they are very busy grafting
Roses for the coming season's planting
and are having remarkable success this
year with them. This concern favors
early planting and often have all done
by Memorial Day. Last year's practice
of growing Geraniums in 6in. pots seems
to be going to be repeated on a larger
scale this year and some growers have
nice batches ready for the last shift.
I Certainly a well grown plant in fall
' bloom gives the buyer something to look
at, and at a $1 or $1.50 it looks like
real money to the grower. Certainly bet-
ter than S3 per doz. for 3%in. stuff.

Britain Bars Diseased Stock

Under a ruling issued by the Ministry
of Agriculture through the Controller of
Horticulture, the introduction into Eng-
land of diseased stocks from abroad will
be prohibited on and after April 1. What
methods of checking will be adopted is
not stated, but we may assume no arbi-
trary holding up of stock will be adopted.
It is to be noted, too, that an anti-dump-
ing bill against bulbs and nursery stock
is also on the tapis, this bill being largely
directed against Holland grown stock as
usually shipped for auction.

^^^ ~ ^ ^^ great many Carnations coming to the

market ready; as some of the prominent
growers are getting a much better price
by shipping their flowers to New York
yet, in spite of the reduction in the local
supply, the divine flower has hard sled-
ding, and has landed at the bottom of the
hill, with poor or old flowers at 4c. ; 5c.
is readily taken for ordinary good stock,
while the very best of the fancy sorts
does not go over 8c. What may happen
to Carnations, when they really begin to
bloom, as will happen before long, and
when Lent puts the final damper on
trade, is awful to contemplate. But
cheer up, the sun has not gone out of
business yet.

White Lilies are hard to move at 16.,
although only the normal quantity is
coming into the market. Colored Lilies
have been absent from the market for
some time; Callas have come down to
$2.50 and $3 per doz. The supply is not
large.

Freesias are becoming tiresome ; there
are all sorts of grades, and the prices run
accordingly ; from almost nothing up to
10c. Paperwhites? well, sell them if you
can and be glad when you get 4c. Yellow
Narcissus of various kinds are more than
plentiful. They bring as high as 8c. for
the best ; Blue Iris, which showed up for
a short spell a while ago, have disap-
peared again. Some few Tulips are be-
ginning to arrive.

Pansies, in common with Violets, have
proved their modest, retiring character
by declining in price. Sweet Peas are
offered in quantity and consist of excel-
lent quality ; the turn-over in Peas is
quite large, yet, the price has gone down
to 3c. for the best.

The Maxket

Feb. 1. — For the greater part of
the past week the market has just drifted
along until it almost gave up the ghost
altogether. Outside of Sweet Peas and
bulbous stock, the supply of flowers is
only moderate or even less, and the least
little upward swing in the demand is
bound to bring prices up again. The re-
cent change to real Winter weather has
prohibited the wearing of flowers on the
street and the effect is easily felt on the
transactions in Violets and Sweet Peas.
But, when you come right down to it,
the market for flowers is poor ; much
more so than what it should really be
at this time of the year.

American Beauty Roses are arriving
in small lots of *'Extra" and "Fancy"
only. Shorter stock is not to be had.
The demand for the other sorts of Roses
has slackened up in general sympathy
with the existing let-up in buying. The
quality of all Roses on the whole is good
to very good. The quotations for Roses
other than Beauties, are for stock of
nine to 21in. in length. As will be
noticed, there is some reduction in price
in almost every variety. Clean-up sales
are the exception at present. The new
"Madame Butterfly" is finding much
favor ; it is a beautiful thing when well
done and commands a premium in sales.
The supply is still nominal.

Carnations are passing through one of
their well known antics, which make the
salei^man say things. There are not a

Orchids are to be had iii many varie-
ties, and the demand is fully normal.
Cattleyas are bringing up to $1 per bloom
and Cypripediums of choice sorts up to
$5 per doz. Lily of the Valley is in good
supply at 6c. to 8c. for best stock. The
demand is fair.

Within the last week or two Scotch
Heather, from California, has made its
appearance. It is largely featured in the
retail stores, and is finding much favor.
The cut sprays are of good size, many
are over three feet in length, they stand
transportation in great style and keep
well.

The demand for Mignonette is very
poor, the quality offered is not specially
good. The same may be said of Snap-
dragons. Daisies, white and yellow, are
in modest supply; they sell fairly well
and clean, bringing from 2c. to 5c. and
6c. Forgetmenots are few in number and
meet with little demand. Calendulas are
of ^1 degrees of perfection; supply suf-
ficient, and the demand normal. Price
according to quality up to 6c.

Indoor and outdoor greens are market-
ing as usual.

General Nenrs

A serious fire threatened the
Arnold Arboretum grounds in the night
of Jan. 25-26, when sparks from the
Nervine Hospital nearby set ablaze two
acres of the Arboretum woodland. The
tire was got under control before it had
reached tiie house where Jackson Daw-
son, the well remembered, late superin-
tendent had his home. How the fire
started in the hospital, which is not in
use, has not yet been explained.

A Great Wholesale House

Henry M. Robinson & Co., Inc.,
are doing a rushing business in their
many different departments, so that they
are justified in saying that, with them,
business is fully up to the level of former
years at this time, if not better. Their
out-of-town shipping trade has taken on
immense proportions and the demands of
the firm on the open market, on many
occasions, relieved the latter of a bother-
some surplus. In the Boston establish-
ment, as well as that of New York, the
Robinsons have worked hard to gain the
confidence and good will of a large num-
ber of growers who are sending their out-
put to the firm on consignment, and the
number of shippers of this class is in-
creasing steadily. Roses, which the firm
receives from the Budlong Rose Co. of
Auburn, Conn., are of the highest grade.
The new crops of hardy ferns and Galax
leaves which are taken from the firm's
large Quincy Market cool rooms are in
fine condition, giving great satisfaction
wherever they go.

Last Christmas, the firm rewarded each
one of its large staff of employees with
a substantial bonus or, as it might be
called, dividend ; which generous act is
well remembered by the workers. "The
boys deserved it, they worked faithfully
and hard," is what Henry M., the senior
member of the firm said at the time, and
he smiled one of his most genial smiles.
You all know Henry M. of the firm; he
is the rotund, jovial one who always
springs a new joke and, is rather careful
to let his serious, hustling brother Charles
do the work, while he, himself, is doing
the heavy looking on ; but, at that, the
business goes on hummingly.

Fenn Causes a Stir

Henry Penn believes in advertis-
ing. There are few men who have a
better or clearer understanding of the
principles, advantages and benefits of ad-
vertising in all lines of business and es-
pecially in the florist business. Mr.
Penn's knowledge of, and achievements
in advertising, have placed him in the
forefront of the advertising men in this
country. He not only knows what ad-
vertising should or does do, but he ever-
lastingly practices what he preaches. He
also knows what is good and what is
bad advertising, (as in everything else,
there are all sorts) so, of course, the
best is none too good for his store. The
aim of all advertising should be: first,
to attract attention; second, to represent
your goods in the most attractive and
simple way, and in such a manner that
their best points and qualities or uses
are brought out forcibly, interestingly
and, what is of greatest importance, con-
vincingly.

The latest bit of Penn advertising was
offered to the Boston public this week
in the Penn store windows. If crowds
are a criterion, then their presence before

The Market

The supply of flowers for the first
week in February is considerably larger
than that of last week. Carnations are
the leading feature, but while in
heavy supply prices are carrying
over as last week's list. Roses also
are showing an appreciable increase
and prices are coming down to a more
normal level. The shortage on the smaller
grades is relieved. Sweet Peas are in
good supply and of excellent quality ;
they are meeting with a brisk demand.
The supply of Lilies remains steady and
Callas are becoming plentiful. Orchids
are taking well with a good supply ; Mig-
nonette is slow. The supply of Snap-
dragon is not in keeping with the de-
mand. Freesia moves slowly, but the
limited supply of Lilac cleans up daily.
Gardenias are taking well, and have in-
creased in supply.

Neups Notes

The opening of the new Stanley
Theater on Saturday, Jan. 29, bought
out a wealth of flowers. William Wyatt
and Charles Grakelow had the largest
share of the work.

Trade Conditions

The inevitable reaction, predicted
by all wise students of economic condi-
tions, has arrived. The wild orgy of
spending which was responsible for the in-
flation has silently departed, not to return
for some time, let us hope. Most factories
here are either closed or are running part
time; all retail business is in a big slump;
it is estimated that 25,000 are out of work.
Naturally, buying power has decreased
while the dollar has increased in value.
How have these conditions affected the
sale of flowers? What can the florist ex-
pect in the future? These are interesting
questions and are now being given thought
even by florists who, while the money and
business was rolling in on the crest of the
tremendous war time wave of prosperity,
thought that running a flower shop profit-
ably, was a lead-pipe cinch.

That day, however, ia past. Conditions
today are entirely and radically different.
The almighty dollar has lost much of its
power simply because the employed have
no dollar and when they get one, they'll
be mighty careful how they spend it.
Those that are in a position to spend a
dollar for flowers now ask themselves:
"Where can I get the most for this dollar
in flowers, in service, in quality, in repu-
tation for business integrity, in salesman-
ship, and in satisfaction?" In plain words,
a stage has now arrived in which the flo-
rist who expects to survive will be forced
to go after business, be wide awake, adver-
tise, know his costs and be a real business
man, not merely an order taker for flow-
ers.

And if, in this reconstruction period,
any florist should fall by the wayside or
lose money, nothing but his own blind-
ness to opportunity will be responsible. It
is certainly lamentable the way so many
florists neglect real opportunities for ad-
vancing the plane of their business, in-
creasing its volume and lightening its bur-
dens. Successful commercial giants can
spend millions in advertising, yet some
florists will compare the paltry business
of some brother florist who does not adver-
tise with that of the former and argue
that advertising is not necessary. Or,
it's all right for the other fellow but not
for me. Cost systems, too, are great things
for factories, for printers, for other kinds
of business, but not for the florist. Sun-
day closing can be successfully accom-
plished in other lines but as long as the

Peanut venders sell their wares on Sunday,
florists, too, must stay open.

Here's a sample illustration taken from
fact. St. Valentine's Day is one week
off. In a mid-Western city of 250,000
population, thousands of young men and
men who never grow old, have dollars in
their pockets which they would gladly
spend for a love token of flowers for
sweetheart, wife or sister, and the simple
key that would unlock their hearts is a
suggestion. Yet, in this same city, 19 out
of 20 florists are blissfully sleeping while
the confectioner, the stationer and the five
and ten cent store man goes and gets the
dollars that should belong to the florist.
If the 19 florists do any business at all on
■It. Valentine's Day, they ascribe it to
the fact that people will think of flowers
themselves and must have them, instead of
to the fact that the twentieth florist has-
spent dollars to educate their customers
along with his, that the national publicity
campaign has helped attain the same ob-
ject.

B usiness during January was better
^-ith florists than in most other lines be-
cause there was a steady demand for
fimeral work. Stock, due to the cloudy
weather, was not any too plentiful and
prices were rather high. Short and
medium Roses have been scarce, but are in-
creasing rapidly in quantity and prices are
^aadually coming down. Carnations are in-
creasing daily in supply and are of fair
quality; Sweet Peaa are good stock and
enjoy a brisk sale; Jonquils and Tulips
are becoming quite a factor in the mar-
ket now, and Freesias are appearing. Cal-
endulas are of good quality. Potted Hya-
cinths are enjoying a lively demand.

Gathered Here and There

Florists say that it will be a nip
and tuck struggle to make February equal
the same month in 1920, which was helped
considerably by influenza. But it can be
done if they will advertise for St. Val-
entine's Day and give the public other con-
structive suggestions for the use of flowers.

Max Zaller has joined forces with Max
Spanner, Ohio Building florist, and has
been given an interest in the business.
Zaller has been on the road for the past
few years, but was formerly employed by
Spanner. Max ia preparing to make this
liis biggest year.

Schranmi Bros, have just received the
auditors' report revealing a substantial
gain in volimie over the preceding year.
They are making plans for a large Valen-
tine business and are advertising exten-
sively. They have a fine display of Hya-
cinths.

The Helmer Flower Shop is using an
attractive window display to create a
lively demand for floral valentines.

Henry Miller, Carnation specialist, has
been sending into this market some ex-
cellent specimens which are eagerly
snapped up.

Metz and Bateman have been favored
with a brisk demand for funeral work
during the past week and also report a
good F. T. D. business. _Mrs. Metz is
convalescing from a Bevere illness.

It has not yet been definitely decided
what will be done with the flower shop
of Sirs. J. B. Freeman, who died suddenly
some time ago, but the probability is that
it win be sold, as her husband, Walter
Crause, is not a florist and does not want
to keep business. F. M. S.

Portland, Ore.

The Market

Jan. 27. — The past week has brought little
out of the ordinary to break the monotony.
There has been considerable funeral work
of all kin(^, which, coming in spurts, used
up considerable stock. Daffodils hit a snag
this year at $2 per doz., and have taken a
graceful drop to §1.50. It can be said that
although they are not moving as fast as
we would like to see them, the drop in
prices has helped matters materially.

Carnations are of poor quality owing to
the continued cloudy weather. Whenever
we have one-half a day of sunshine, it
seems somehow as though we had to be
penalized for it, as it is invariably fol-
lowed with a week or more of cloudy
weather. Even though it has not been cold
this Winter so far, the wood pile looks
like a vanishing point.

Roses are hardly enough in evidence
to warrant their mention, the principal
supply coming up from California. This
feature of the Rose game is bad, as there
is little money to be made on the im-
ported stock; even when it is sold, the
customer is the goat. Potted stock of all
kinds is in excellent supply and consider-
ing the quantity a good showing is made,
with little going to waste. Ferns are
scarce and selling well.

liocal Goings On

Max. M. Smith is reported resting
easier at the hospital and is expecting
to be taken home shortly.

O. E. Panzer is bringing in some very
nice Cinerarias. He is also cutting some
fine Freesias.

Look Ahead
That's How To Get Ahead

Tlio grower who Koes at his year's

carefully. Make sure you are going
to get maximum crops off your land.

We can help you with our new
sectional portable irrigation lines.
Made to come apart and go to-

gether with amazing ease. One
Une can be shifted from one row of
posts to another, and thus take care
of a lot of ground.

This is your opportunity to get
started with the Skinner System at
a small expense. Don't take a
chance on the weather when you
can buy Skinner System insurance
for so little money.

This Week's Money Making Wrinkles

Plant more Gladioli and cold storage
Lilies, both giganteum as well as specio-
sum rubnim. Baby Primroses (Primula
malacoides) furnish excellent material
for corsage bouquets for St. Valentine
Day. If you are short on plants, stock
up now and have them on hand. While
this is a cut flower day, it doesn't hurt
to push plants; there are occasions when
they can be used. Don't delay the or-
dering of what you need in rooted cut-
tings of Carnations and Chrysanthe-
mxmis; the sooner you get what you need
in small bedding plants or rooted cut^
tings, the better. Why not let them grow
on in yoiir greenhouses ? Seed sowing
time is here, if you haven't already sown
Verbenas, Salvias, Lobelias and Be-
gonias, don't wait much longer. Large
plants of any of these sell best and you
have to start them early in order to get
them by the middle of May. There is
every reason to believe that we are going
to do the best Spring plant business ever,
and good stock, ready early, is bound to

bring fair prices. All those who ar®
short on small stock, should get busy
placing their orders now and those who
may be short on some things but have a
surplus on other items, can't do better
than to advertise in these columns if
they want results and quick action.

NURSERY WRINKLES

This is the last month to complete
your Winter's work, for details of which
see this week's nm-sery page. Make all
your preparations now, including your
Spring advertising campaign. Anything
put off until March which could be done
now, means taking just that much time
off the voliune of business done in your
shipping season. Let the opening of the
shipping season find you prepared to
have all hands fill orders and ship, ship!
ship!! The season is always too short
and the more you can speed up order fill-
ing, the larger should be your profits.

DAHLIAS

"THE KING OF COMMERCE"
The Greatest Dahlia of the Day.

A triumph in the commercial Dahlia world —
something that fiorists have been looking for and
not found until now — a truly perfect Dahlia.

In shape, a_ true decorative; straight, strong-
petals, attractively arranged.

Color, a rich tango, beautifully lighted old gold
and orange; irridescent under both artificial and
sunlight.

Size, 5 to 6 in. in diameter, never gets small'
under any circumstances !

Substance, exceedingly firm, yet not stiff or
formal; never wilts or drops petals; will dry up-
with age.

Stem 18 to 36 in. or more, clean, strong and

DAHLIA SEED
This seed is raised from the most up-to-date
Dahlias in existence. In no place in the world
have Dahlias been brought up to such perfection
aH_ they have been around San Francisco. This
mixture contains all colors and types of Peony,
Cactus and Decorative varieties. The seed we
sent out in previous years was highly praised by
all who raised Dahlias from it, but this seed is far
superior to what we have sent out in p revious years
The seedlings will commence to flower two monthe-
after sowing and almost a month earlier than plants
raised from bulbs.

Price 50c. per pkg.

Mr. W. L. Ferguson, Smiths Falls, Ontario, im-
der date of Dec. 2d, 1919, writes ua the following
in regard to our Petunias:

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you.
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about 8 per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quality each year."

Mr. Rudolf Nagel. Lancaster, Pa., under date
of Dec. 14, 1919, writes ua:

"I had last year just a few of your Petunias,
but I am sure I could have sold thousands of them.
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of my expectation."

VEGETABLE PLANTS AND SEEDS

THE DIENER TOMATO
Increase your Tomato yield one hundred per cent
by raising the new Diener Tomato; 30-40 tons of
ripe fruit to the acre.

This Tomato was raised last year all over the
United States and Canada with the greatest satis-
faction.

As smooth as an Apple and of a magnificent
dark red color. Single Tomatoes weigh up to 3 lbs.
each. The flesh is more solid than that of any other
Tomato- The fruit contains very little seed and is
solidly filled out. This Tomato is free of the acid
taste and for dehydrating, catsup and canning it
is the best Tomato in existence to-day.

The Diener Tomato is blight-resisting as well as
drought-resisting. It will not crack from the rain
and will not rot while lying on the ground in wet
Weather. This Tomato will grow in almost any
kind of soil and it commences to ripen the first part
of August.

It is the greatest novelty in the Tomato hne, and
it will soon crowd out the present varieties from the
market by its far superior qualities.

Price of the Diener Tomato Seed: Sample pkg.
25o.; one quarter of an acre, pkg. 50c., one acre,
pkg. S1.50.

Acacias for Naming

.Any information you can give regard
ing the enclosed samples of Acacias wil-
be esteemed. They were raised frou
seed.— J. S., N. J.

— The angular leaved spray bear
ing ±iowei-s is Acacia scapuliformi
syn. A. cultrifonnis. It gets its nam
from the knife-like foliage. It has beeX'
cultivated in California for many year^
and makes a good hedge plant whe:i
pruned.

The other sample, not being in flowej
cannot be named with any certainty, bu
it is probably a form of the Silver Watti
or Mimosa Acaoia dealhata. It makes
tree some 50ft. in height and is largel
grown in the South of France, for it
flowers which are shipped to English an
other markets. None of the Acacias ai
hardy.

Germinating Aconitum Seeds

Can you give any information regan
ing Aconitum napellus seeds. I hai
tried many times, but have failed t
germinate any? — Q. B., N. Y.

— We know of no particular reaac
why you fail with the seeds. The plai
is a native of England and other par
of Europe and seedlings appear
shaded places in great abundance.

TVe suspect that the seed is unusual
hard and requires a long time to germi
ate. We have never found it necessa
to raise seedlings ; being a perennial,
is easily propagated by root division, b
we suggest you soak the seed for a as
If it fails to swell, give it a long
period in warm water or, treat it wi
sulphuric acid for five minutes, aft*
ward washing in clear water. Sow
sandy soil in a cold frame and keep w
shaded. Remember this plant in all
parts is deadly poisonous.

To Build or Not to Build
That's The Question

Remember as if it was only yesterday^ the first day I landed in Paris,
and in order to get a comprehensive and definitely defined conception of the
outstanding points of the city. I climbed up on top of the Arch de Triomphe,
and looked over the city in a bird's-ej'e fashion.

Although I was privileged to spend but a week in that endlessly interest-
ing city, as a result of that climb, I never forgot the general location of its
points of importance.

Frequently, throughout the year, find myself feeling office-bound, quite
as plants get pot-bound. When that feeling comes over me, I jar myself
against the edge of my work bench, the desk, and pack my little old grip,
and hie for some distant point with the idea of getting a bird's-eye -saew of the
business. Like seeing Paris, the best way to see your business is to get far
enough away from it, or above it, so you can see it as a whole.

Believe it was Russell Sage who said: "If you want to see your own
business clearly, take a look at somebody elses."

The first man I saw was J. AV. Davis, of Terre Haute, the
Cucumber King. When I asked him whether he believed that
at the present price of glass and building materials, the liorists
were warranted in extending their ranges, his reply was: "Well,
I have just bought out my brother's interest in the old Thompson
range at Johet.

Just as soon as I get things cleared up a bit, am going to
give that layout some jolly good growing pains. Furthermore,
I'm right now looking towards the Fast, thinking some very
earnest thoughts about building one of our Cucumber plants
there. In fact, have had this in mind for several years.! ' ~

' As' far as the present price of materials is concerned, my
thought on the matter is, that, even if they are high, a paying

market is unquestionably there for greenhouse products, either
vegetables or flowers..

Those sharp figuring, far-seemg men in the florists' business
who bought and built when glass and materials were at their
highest peak, reaped a profit which indicates the soundness of
their foresight.

Every tune I hear a man hollering about increased costs and
saying nothing about the methods he is pursuing for decreasing
his overhead and proportionately multiplying his profits, I say
to myself: "There is a man who onlv figures on one side of the
business. He's so close to it, he can't see it."

"iou know, one of the basic principles of every man's success
IS to keep enlarging his plant, so he will have an" ever increasing
volume of business that wiU ever be decreasing his overhead.

To which let me add that at Terre Haute, Mr. Davis has ten houses. Every house
added has decreased the overhead to a surprising degree and added to his profits to ■!
very gratif^-ing e.\tent.

Admittedly building costs are higher now than they were before the war, but one
thing sure, they 11 never be that low agam. Therefore, let's face that fact and stop
sighmg for those good old days. Adjust our point of view accordinglv just as we
do now that gasolme costs us approxuuately thirty cents a gallon instead of twelve or
fifteen, although haven t noticed that any of us are driving our cars any less As a
matter of fact, more of us have cars than had them then.

But getting back to that overhead problem; suppose a man has, say three houses
and builds two more. 1 he reduction m his overhead comes pretty close to taking care
ot the increased buildmg costs, when spread over a period of five years or so.

What I can't see is why the growers persist in seeing so plainly the fact that their
houses are gomg to cost more and then seeing so poorly the fact that the gross produc-
tion of their plants wul decrease their running expenditure.

Now you are ready to talk hiulding, say where and we'll be there.

Keep Your Eye On Noe & Ruzicka

Noe and I had gone to Preparatory
School together, and of course we
started right where we left off so
many years ago, when we borrowed
everything from each other, from
books to dress suits.

Just to celebrate, we all had dinner
together and went to the theatre.

All this time I was sort of eyeing up
Joe. Wasn't long in coming to the
conclusion that if you had something
you wanted done, that everybody said
couldn't be done, he would do it for
you.

So several years later, when I heard
that Noe and Ruzicka had bought the
old Slaughter Rose range at Madison,
and that Joe was going to run it, just
naturally said: "Well, Joe will make it
go." But say — he sure was up against
a whale of a proposition. Old narrow
houses in bad repair, and a heating
plant having a boiler for practically
eyery house. His friends said, "You
didn't buy a Rose range, you bought
a burying ground."

That was THEN.
This is NOW.

One Winter's afternoon some five or more
years ago, I boarded the Boston train at Provi-
dence. Who should I bump into but Noe of
Madison, with his right hand man, Joe Ruzicka.

This photo of the old layout gives you an idea of what a proposition it was to heat
with each house having a separate boiler

They have two of our finest iron
frame houses, 467ft.x2Sft., loin., and a
new house, 243ftx5oft.

Instead of small boilers all over
the place, he now has a centralized
power plant with three big Hitch-
ings steel tubular boilers; and room
for another.

He is burning a low grade of fuel,
absolutely impossible to burn in the
old boilers. He has a uniform and
economical distribution of heat in his
houses, without any traps or pumps
such as our heating engineers fight
tooth and nail against using.

The closer you can follow Nature's
natural laws, and take every advan-
tage of these in your heating, the
more successful in every way it is
bound to be.

That's why we are such strong ad-
vocates of the gravity system.

Which is all very well, you say, but
how are their Roses, and what kind
of a cut are they making? If you had
no way of knowing, what kind would
you think, after all I've told you?

Well, that is exactly the top notch
kind Joe is shipping.

that are to come — days when production will tell
the story of profit or loss. Labor is plenty. Dig in
and replant. We can still supply the best that can
be produced, before-the-war quality, better shipping
conditions, better deliveries than we have had in
the past few years. Get good soil under and good

AGERATUM-Fraserii

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM Fraserii to our customers that we are offering
what will be one of the most vahiiibk- ai([uisition? to the bedding plant line in recent years — that
is a bhie, a decided blue, that will be continually in bloom. la our trial grounds last Summer
Fraserii attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It ouly grew about S to 10 in.
high and was covered the entire Summer with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as manv of them were over 2 '.-3 in. across, while the indiWdual flower would be seven-
eighths of an inch in diameter. The plant spread about 12 to 15 in. across. It can very easily be
used with Alternantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

Florists* Opportunities in Florida

THE loUowlng notes from an old time
florist, afford interesting reading at
tills time when our gardens are bare of
everything in the flowering line. That
Florida offers great possibilities for the
florist is unquestionably true and, con-
sidering that it is but half the distance
of California, the likelihood of Florida
becoming a great shipper of bulbs and
plants, formerly imported, is fairly
obvious. Our correspondent's reference
to the sandy soil makes one think
furiously. Sandy soil and propagation
are synonymous.

•r is tin- hist clay of Janu-
ary, and I have completed
• ten weeks of my secon<l
\nter in this State. Com-
i earlier, and spending my
tie in Central Florida in
1 at is known as the "city
liutiful." I have been able
I get a better perspective of
I floral conditions and pos-
! ilities than I did last year
I the Gulf Coast in a large
ly where less attention is
lid to ornamental planting
iin here.

'le Amazon Lily

One of the most beautiful flowers of the last two
iMiths is the Amazon Lily — commonly called the Altar
'y, as it is grown mostly in pots and used in decorat-
■; pulpits and other desks. It may have been grown
>rth but, in a long life devoted to floriculture in
wthern Ohio, I have never seen it north of Charles-
n, S. C., where it is apparently quite hardy. It is a
ae Lily, with a leaf six by sixteen inches, oval shaped
!th longitudinal ribs. The flower is of purest white
d the form of an Emperor Daffodil. The flower
.■ms are a foot high and several stems grow from one
own. It is largely grown in pots for the same reason
at many things are in Florida, because they can be
itered and fertilized without the waste of material
id moisture caused by a bottomless sandy soil. I judge
can be grown in pots at the North as easily as the
marj'llis or Calla.

Igoonla radicans (robusta?)

At this writing, Bignonia robusta is very much in
idence. It is perhaps the most robust and floriferous
ne in the world. It climbs to the eaves of the highest
)uses, and where .there are thickets or copses to act as
epladders, it scales the highest trees and spreads its
■ange-colored blanket with a wealth and abandon im-

posbible to describe. The
trumpets are two and one-
half inches long; and grow
in bunches of six or more
about four inches apart. 1
cannot see why the vines
could not be layered and
rooted for pot plants.

Where Azaleas Flourish

Last year in Tampa, I
looked in vain for Azalea
indica, but here they are just
coming into bloom and are
quite common in the older
part of the city. In one door-
yard is a row containing
crim.son, violet, pink and white. The bushes are thin
and straggling, but apparently healthy and perfectly at
home. There is no reason why this floriferous and
formerly quick selling florist's plant should not be
grown here by the million. The secret of growing the
compact crowded wealth of bloom of the imported
plants I am not competent to discuss, but there must
be florists of French or Belgian origin who know how-
it is done.

Poinsettia Hedges

About the middle of November, the hedges of Poin-
settia were wonderful to behold; eight feet high, with
nine to fifteen blooms per square yard, they were simply
gorgeous. This plant seems to grow readily from cut-
tings stuck in the ground; little sticks of terminal
branches make a bed as brilliant as one of Geraniums.
There are early and late varieties and recently, I dis-
covered a row against a house front just in full glory.
Strange .to say, the plants are what may be called a
double variety ; three large tufts of crimson bracts start
from the center in addition to the usual single row,
making a wonderful addition. I understand that by stick-
ing the base of a Poinsettia flower stem in boiling water,
that they will stand up for days ; I am going to try it.

Camellia japonica

Another very interesting subject here is Camellia
japonica. The largest I have seen is 7ft. high, but I
am told that they grow to be trees is South Carohna.
1 have seen three varieties; white, rose, and a bicolor
white and rose. The latter is a very striking flower,
as large as a big Rose. The color is in patches, unlike
Dahlias or other variegated flowers. It is said that the
white Camellia flowers cannot be shipped because they
turn brown soon after being touched by the hand or
anything. I am sending some to Ohio for a try-out.

A Chance for the Grower Florist

There is great need of what may be called a dirt flo-
rist here in Florida; a man who, instead of devoting
all his time to making wedding and funeral designs,
would study the habits of trees and vines and bushes
and their peculiar value for decorative and landscape
use. , .

As I believe the Poinsettia I have mentioned is un-
known in the North, I may state that .the row I have
seen stands close in front of a house on Lucerne Circle
a short distance east of Orange ave., Orlando, Fla.

Orange Co., Fla. L- B. Pierce.

The above notes are interesting as showing the won-
derful possibilities of Florida. Our correspondent, how-
ever is in error in classing the Amazon Lily as a true
Lily.

The plant referred to is, without doubt, Eucharis
amazonica; of the Amaryllis order and extremely popu-
lar among old-time gardeners of several decades back.
Its liability to mite caused many to drop it. We have
not heard of its being grown commercially for many

Bignonia robusta is presumably B. radicans. This
wonderful orange trumpet vine is well known to old
hands but its identity has almost been lost in late years
because botanists have grouped it either among the
Tecomas, or Campsis. In each instance it retains its
specific name radicans.

The stems emit aerial roots and, given the room,
plants will, as our correspondent states, run 30ft. or
more. . . . , ,,

The value of a double-flowered Pomsettia might well
be tried out ; we have never seen anything in this direc-
tion beyond a few miniature petalous stamens.

! Rhododendron ponticum
Azalea pontica

To be Allowed in for Limited Period

Seedlings

United States Department of Agriculture

Federal Horticultural Board

Washington, D. C.

February 3, 1931.
HE Florists' Exchange,
A. T. De La Mare Co., Inc., Prop.,
' Box 100, Times Square Station, N. Y. City,
lear Sirs:

To make sure of your getting it I am sending you the
nclosed statement prepared for the press service of
,iis Department. I hope you can give this matter
>ompt publicity so that all would-be importers can be
■ut on an equal basis.

Yours very truly,
, Chairman of Board. C. L. Marlatt,

, The Federal Horticultural Board held an important
onference today at the Department of Agriculture on
he subject of the importation of Rhododendron ponti-
um and Azalea pontica seedlings to be used as stocks
or grafting. It was represented that such seedlings
tfere not available in the United States and could not be
;rown from seed to a grafting size in this country
vitiiin a period of two or probably three years, and that
inless such seedlings could be imported these plants
vould be absolutely unavailable to the American mar-
cet for this period. In view of this situation, the Board
las indicated that it will issue special permits for the
mportation of seedlings of three years' growth or under
yf these two plants for the period terminating June 1,
1922. It is expected that after that time it will be pos-
liible to supply further needs from home-grown stock.
I This action was taken as a result of this conference
ilnd is supported by the unanimous request of the
!3rnaniental Growers' Association, representing the
Iprincipal growers of hardy ornamentals in the United
jStates and with the distinct understanding, which was
agreed to by this society, that this action would not be
taken as a precedent for demands of similar entry of
.-seedlings or lining-out stocks of other ornamentals.
i The entry of these plants under special permit will
ybe surrounded with the same safeguards which apply to
lother special permits issued under the quarantine.

Nurserymen and others who intend to import the
above stocks of Rhododendron ponticum and Azalea
pontica must first apply to the F. H. B. at Washington,
D. C. for form 207 on which it is necessary for them
to make their application for the special permit. On
this form importers must show the necessity for bring-
ing in the stock. The material is to be used solely for
propagation purposes by the importer or his duly ap-
pointed agents; the location of the premises where the
material is to be propagated and the name of the actual
grower must be given, also the proposed method of
propagation. A bond has to be furnished by the party
applying for the permit in amount of $5000, or in
amount twice the invoice value of the stock if such value
be less than $3500 (but in no case less than $100.) This
bond to continue from two to five years after importa-
tion. Then follow regulations having to do with the
control of the stock after it has been received and
planted. The plants are to be imported without soil
on the roots.

As we understand the situation these special permits
will be open to all reputable firms who apply for them.
This permission to import has not changed the situation
as regards greenhouse Azaleas as these positively can-
not be imported without soil.

From The National Nurseryman of February we
gather that the members representing the Ornamental
Growers Association at the recent conference at Wash-
ington consisted of : C. H. Perkins, 2d, chairman ; F. L.
Atkins; Wm. Flemer and Thomas B. Meehan.^ The
committee also made a request for the importation of
several varieties of Japanese Maples as stocks to form
the basis of homeground salable plants but evidently
did not meet with success on this particular item.

A Bouquet for the F. H. B.

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

A neighbor called my attention to Jacob C.
Heiningen's letter on page S33, Jan. 29 issue. Mr.
Heiningen is giving me a rather large contract as, of
aourse, he does not want to get too personal and ask
what particular thing I have special permit to import;
yet, perhaps later, I will decide to tell hirn, but for the
present I must forego this pleasure as six days' mail
has accumulated during my absence. But I may say
this much, that whether Qu. 37 is popular or not. it is
of little consequence as far as you and I are concerned.
This quarantine exists, and we all have more or less
idea how it works, and I may say that it is not a theory
but a condition that confronts us.

Qu. 37 is here to stay, of that we feel pretty sure,

whether we like it or not. It is up to us to take advan-
tage of this fact. The foreign stocks are now excluded
and admission made for propagation only and that only
in such varieties as are not available in the United
States in sufficient quantities to serve this pttrpose. Now
it is up to you and me to use our imagination and our
knowledge, and figure out where we can find some more
or less new variety of plants on the other side of the
big water that we can import to our own advantage
and, incidentally, to the advantage of the country for,
when we prosper, the country will prosper. Now please
remember I am not entering into a discussion as to
whether Qu. 37 is desirable or not. The Federal Horti-
cultural Board has full authority to enforce Qu. 37 and
incidentally it protects American growers. It is idle to
say that we cannot produce stock which was imported
from Europe formerly. It will take many years before
we produce Rhododendron hybrids ready to sell, and
ten or fifteen years before we can have Boxwood 5ft.
or 6ft. high, home grown.

It is foolish to say, on the other hand, tha.t Boxwood
of this kind cannot be grown here; but is Boxwood
absolutely necessary for landscape purposes?

As to Rhododendrons, it is very unpleasant to get
along without them, but we will have to. Personally,
I do not intend to grow any Rhododendrons but, if I
should, it will be from seed. I cannot, at the present
time, think of any foreign goods that we could not suc-
cessfully grow here and produce quickly, barring these
two exceptions. I regret that my other unfinished corre-
spondence prevents me from going into further detail
at this time, but I will be glad to take up this matter
later, if necessary. As the matter now stands, there
are himdreds of American nurserymen growing young
evergreens of varieties such as were imported from
Holland and they are doing very well. I have found
they can be grown here just as cheaply as when im-
ported from Holland, after paying packing charges and
other expenses.

The main difticulty is that we have just awakened, and
we do not have as yet a good start, but that is in a
sense an advantage as the stock will be scarce and
bring a good price, which we need while we are new
and inexperienced; particularly as we have been paying
war wages of $5.50 for ten hours to our laborers.

A. E. WOHLERT.

[We print Mr. Wohlert's letter as a matter of cour-
tesy to that gentleman and not because we agree with
him in his statements, which are too general to be con-
rlusive. The wisdom of .the restrictions covered by Qu.
37 will continue to be debatable just as long as .America
contains so large a majority who are not in accord with
its sweeping measures. — Ed.]

Nurserymen's Prices and Profits

Facts and Figures that Help Explain Why Retail Costs are Not Lower

I'AHE quoting and partial answering in The Ex-
chance of Feb. 5, by Edwin Matthews, of a
letter charging nurserymen with profiteering has
^itiptcd us to do a little independent, unbiased investi-
(ilon and tliinking on the subject. As someone has
if truly said, "The first requisite [toward a solution
ilprice and business complications] is a correct moral
ituie toward the problem and not the present wide-
pad attitude of 'Everyone for himself and the devil
i: the hindmost.' * * * Ignorance of mutual interests,
(course, causes most of the trouble."
;!vhat, then, are some of the features of the sitiiation
i: are not. apparently, understood by both parties in
li prospective nursery business transaction? As to
ij es, we agree with Mr. Matthews that those quoted
(his correspondent are hardly representative. Exam-
Ig catalogs for 1915 and 1931 of one large, well-
[j.wn nursery firm, we find the following contrasts in
■(lil fruit prices :

Not one of the average increases, it will be noticed,
comes anywhere near the 1000 per cent complained of
by "Fruit Grower" in the Feb. 5 Exchange; only one
or two of them reach 400 per cent. Now such increases,
compared with those of the prices of other commodities
over the same period, are not excessive. Nor are they,
relatively, as high as the increases in wholesale prices,
since the latter, though actually less, must bear the
same burden of increased labor and other costs.

Consider for a moment the factors upon which nur-
sery prices depend. For one thing there is the reduced
supply of foreign stocks and the tremendously increased
costs thereof. For another, there has been — during and
since the war years — not only a much higher scale of
wages, but an actual and serious shortage of labor at
any price to cover the actual, physical planting, handling,
digging and packing of nursery stock.

Observe how the table bears this out. Ordinarily it
is expected that quantity production makes possible
lower prices. In other words, any producer ought to
be able to offer 10, 100 or 1000 articles at much and

increasingly lower rates than a single item; indeed this
has always been done. However for the last year or
two this has not held true to the same e-xtent; note in
the table the ascending percentages of increase as we
go from the price of individual trees to those of 10
and 100 of the same sort. The average increase per
tree price is 155 per cent, that of the per 10 price is 301,
that of the per 100 price is 236.

What does this mean? Simply that labor and all
other overhead costs such as packing material, rents,
taxes, insurance, transportation, fuel, etc., have gone up
and stayed up, irrespective of tendencies toward in-
creased supply and apparent lowered production costs.
Thus it is no cheaper, per plant, to handle fifty plants
than five or ten, but, on the contrary is as hard and
costly, if not more so, because of the higher cost of the
various nursery operations. On this basis present nur-
sery prices, in general, do not seem to us to indicate
profiteering, but simply the inevitable result of unavoid-
able causes.

The National City Bank of New York in its February
review of business conditions calls attention to exactly
the same situation in other industries, as follows :

"The makers of farm implements are sensitive a^out
criticisms leveled at them for maintaining prices. They
say that the biggest single item in their costs is steel, and
point to the fact that it is higher than one year ago.
Another important factor is fuel, also higher, and an-
other freight charges, likewise higher, and finally labor,
upon which there has been little or no reduction. * * *
"When millions of wage-earners have already lost
their jobs, and many of the others are working only
part time, it is apparent that wages have been reduced.
The unfortunate thing is that they have been reduced m
a manner which accomplishes nothing. The ability of
wage-earners to buy for consumption has been reduced
without reducing cost in the industries and without cor-
responding reduction of their own living costs.
The baker cannot reduce the price of bread to corre-
spond with the reduction in flour, because flour is only
one item in his costs. His labor, delivery costs, ma-
chinery, coal, freight charges, supplies, etc., which main-
ly represent labor, have not come down to correspond
with wheat or flour."

So it is, we believe, with the nurserymen. It may not
take any more actual effort to produce a tree than it
ever did, but that effort costs more, employs tools that
cost more and is handicapped by overhead charges — all
these factors combining to hold the prices of nursery
stock up with no accompanying elevation of profits.

The Florists' Exchange shares Mr. Matthews' opin-
ion (read it over again, page 303), that nurserymen, as
a class, are not profiteering and that they are not or-
ganized into a trust to unduly hold prices up. It be-
lieves that the figures quoted above bear this out and
indicate that the nursery business is simply contending
against the same conditions that are hampering every
industry, but which, in the face of confidence, optimism
and faith, must and will give way to better times and
better things.

Eighth International Flower Show,
Grand Central Palace, New York,

MARCH 14-20, 1921

L LREADY entries in the competitive section of the
iV big show are coming along, and the committee
' are very optimistic as to the outcome. The only
i^ret coming from the preparations, and it is shared
II management and exhibitors alike, is that this is to be
«: last show of any kind to be held in the Grand Cen-
il Palace, as the building thereafter is to be given
fsv entirely to commercial purposes. The many ad-
\itages presented in the use of this building have con-
tbuted not a little to the success of the entire series of
twer shows held under its roof, and the committee
in to make the forthcoming show one such as will be
Wembered as the best of all. The matter of suitable
('■arters for subsequent shows is already a subject of
tive concern for all interested in the progress of flori-
(Iture in America.

If a little additional support by growers, both com-
1,'rcial and private, is forthcoming, it is believed that
li idea of the "biggest show ever" will be an accom-
: shed fact. Developments of the past week indicate
lit the support asked will materialize. Some exhibits
Mte unusual in character, yet commercially pointing
ii way to welcome innovations are promised, among
jem a display of standard trained specimens of the old
iarechal Niel and Gloire de Dijon Roses. These will
' wonderfully interesting to all visitors old enough to

member these favorites in the hey-day of their popu-
:rity, as well as to the younger among us who have

ver seen them. Other resurrected favorites in the

iwer world will also be seen.

It has been suggested that there are florists who

luld, at little or no expense, lay out beds of Pansies or

Geraniums, in sizes to prove attractive, and without any
loss in regard to the stock exhibited. In this connection
it is well to remember that meritorious exhibits not
provided for in the official schedule of prizes will be
suitably recognized.

Many of the smaller classes could be better filled than
they have been in former years. Carnation growers
particularly are reminded that better displays of Carna-
tions would serve not a little to create new interest in
these flowers, the popularity of which some are ready
to declare is waning. Let not the mere prospect of
winning a prize govern the preparation of an exhibit,
the pride of showing the best and adding to the glory
of the show should be sufficient, and surely, every
grower should be interested in having his especial line
well represented among the exhibits. Rose and Sweet
Pea growers should also give a thought to this sugges-
tion; growers of miscellaneous flowers, such as Mignon-
ette, Wallflowers, Myosotis, Antirrhinums and the like,
should also bear in mind that the more prominently the=e
subjects are kept in the public eye, the better for the
business.

Intending exhibitors should note the following changes
in and omissions from the staging days listed on page 28
of the final schedule: Carnations, commercial growers.
Nos. 360 to 268, Wednesday, March 16. Cut Roses,
private growers, Nos. 85 to 95, are to be staged Tues-
day, March 15 instead of Monday, March 14.

Orchid plants, private growers, classes should read
Nos. 73 to 78, instead of 33 to 78.

Cut Roses, commercial growers, Nos. 239 to 244. to
be staged Tuesday, March 15.

Display of cut Roses, commercial growers. Class No.
245, to be staged Thursday, March 17, instead of Tues-
day, March 15.

Add to the commercial Rose classes, to be staged
Tuesday March 15 : Class 328—50 Mrs. Frank W. Dun-
lop ; 1st prize, $30; 3d prize, $30. Class 228A— 50 Pil-
grim; 1st prize, $30; 3d prize, $20.
Interest in the trade section of the show seems to be

increasing with the approach of the opening date of the
exhibition. The opening of the large section on the
second floor, Lexington ave. front, made possible
through the transference of the tea garden quarters to
the other end of the building, has appealed to many
who were too late to secure space on the main floor and,
as the elevators are all in this section, direct approach
is to be had so that every aisle on the floor will have
throngs of visitors. There is every indication that the
limited remaining space available will be reserved many
days in advance of the opening day, consequently it \yill
be well for those who still have thoughts of exhibiting
to look over the lists of exhibitors published in the
trade papers and make immediate reservation.

The following additional exhibitors are announced:

American Seed Tape Co., Newark, N. J.

A. D. Granger & Co., garden tractors, New York.

Lewis & Valentine, Roslyn, N. Y.

Washington Wants Thistle Seed

.As announced on our seed page, quotations on thistle
seed are invited.

We are not aware as to the purpose for which this
»eed is required, but we have hitherto labored under the
impression that Thistles were things to keep clear of.
We have had some experience with the common Scotch
or British Thistle and have breathed malediction on the
peop'e that permitted this weed to flower and spread its
seed all around.

If the General Supplv Committee has a good use fo'r
the seed, it is to be hoped the bags containing it won't
burst and scatter in our neighborhood, especially on a
windv day.

Notes from Abroad

Weather here has become unseasonably
and unhealthily mild and^ if the high
present temperature continues for an-
other fortnight, we shall have Roses and
other shrubs in precociously full Spring
foliage. Bulbous plants predominate in
Convent Garden, both as cut flowers and
in pots, and as indicators that the Winter
is passing, here and there a batch of
Cinerarias or Primula malacoides catches
the eye. A few Chrysanthemums linger
superfluous on the stage, but their long
season is now approaching its termina-
tion.

The mild weather means of course an
earlier rush of orders for seeds, and a
larger modicum of disappointment at not
getting them as promptly as desired. But,
although the staSs 01 our seed houses do
all that is humanly possible, some amount
of delay cannot be avoided. Orders for
overseas are given preference, but even
they cannot be despatched with that
celerity which the seedsmen would fain
accord them.

The demand for vegetable seeds ia af-
fected by the reaction contingent on the
rise and decline of the allotment move-
I ment, but that for flower seeds is still
on the up grade. Shortages in various
articles are making themselves uncom-
fortably felt and, besides the Spring
flowering section and choice kinds of
Antirrhinums, a certain scarcity is ob-
servable in various kinds of Clarkia,
Grodetia, Dahlia, Hollyhocks, Viola, Can-
terbury Bells and other favorite outdoor
flowers, which must necessarily lead to a
shrinkage in the quantities exported.

Experience up to date with the new
government (British) , seed-testing sta-
tions is that the work is painstaking and
on the whole reliable, but that they em-
ploy a much larger staff for the work
than seed houses would think of doing.
This is an inveterate fault of all govern-
ment departments, and the present cabi-
net will soon be feeling the draught
rather severely, of a vigorous agitation,
which is now on foot for cutting down
all expenditures and dismissing all super-
fluous employees.

New York Seed Trade

All of the seed stores of this city are
becoming increasingly busy as the season
advances. In addition to the regular
force of employees many new helpers are
seen. The mail order departments are
busiest of all, but counter trade is begin-
ning to be a considerable feature. All of
the seed stores, it is reported, have larger
forces of travelers than usual out on the
road, calling on the private trade, the
conmnercial florists and the truck farmers.
All signs indicate that this is a seasonin
which all of the seed stores are reaching
out after all available business, and are
keeping their efforts up to concert pitch.

Calling recently at Max Schling's Seed
Store, 24 W. 59th st., we found the ener-
getic manager, Carl 0. Giessler, and his
force of experienced and able helpers ex-
tremely busy. This store has sent out its
1921 catalog, and as a consequence orders
are coming in in larger volume than in
any previous year; this is true of the
mail order specially. Wm. Atwood, of
the traveling force of this store^ says
that he finds business excellent in the
private trade, and that there is every indi-
cation of the increasing demand in this
branch of the business.

Yaughan's Seed Store, 41 to 43 Bar-
clay St., is now mailing out its mail
order catalog; this contains 63 pages, and
in the flower seed department ia an un-
usually large number of colored pictures.
This catalog should not be confused with

Vaughan's general annual catalog of about
134 pages, which will soon be out. J. C.
Vaughan who has been in the city for
several days, left on Sunday for Chicago
via Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

Walter Barnwell, store manager for
Burnett Bros., has just returned from a
very successful trip through Pennsylvania
and farther West, during which he called
upon the private trade and secured much
good business.

Among the callers in town this week
were P. M. Minsler, representing the
Landreth Seed Co., Bristol, Pa., and Geo.
L. Stillman, Westerly, R. I.

Chicago Seed Trade

A. Miller, of the American Bulb Co.,
spent a few days in Detroit, Mich., the
past week. He reports business condi-
tions improving there owing to the gradual
opening of the automobile industry. The
trade there are quite optimistic as to the
business of the present season.

Vaughan's Seed Store are moving quan-
tities of Gladiolus and Tuberoses from
their West Side warehouses. J. C
Vaughan, is expected to return this week
from a trip to New York and other
Eastern points. Ed. Goldenstein left on
another business trip Friday. Salesmen
from this house are at present covering
a wide section of the country, all report-
ing good business.

W. W. Barnard, who is spending the
Winter in California, is reported to be
in excellent health and enjoying the cli-
mate on the coast. Mr. Howe reports
the mail orders coming in well from cata-
logs, and believes that they are about to
start on one of the best seasons in the
history of the house.

The retail catalog of A. Henderson &
Co. will be ready for mailing the end of
the present week. Business from the
wholesale list recently mailed is coming
in satisfactorily. The house has a lar^e
supply of Cannas on hand, for which it
reports a strong demand.

The Seed Situation

In reviewing the present seed situation,
James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y.,
I write: Owing to a disastrous dry spell
I just about the time Asters were set in the
j field last Summer, the acreage of all early
flowering varieties was very greatly re-
duced. The stand was very irregular and
in many instances the fields were wiped
out completely, not more than seed stock
being saved. Seeds of the early Asters,
are very scarce. Mid-season and late
Asters, however, were put out a couple
of weeks .later, and did not have so long
to wait for favorable weather, so that
there is a very good supply of late and
main crop Asters.

Good crops of Candytuft, Larkspur,
Calliopsis, Calendula, Four O Clock, prac-
tically all of the hardy perennials. Early
Flowering Cosmos and Improved Bella-
donna Larkspur were harvested. Our
growers' reports are also favorable on
most other flower seeds with the excep-
tion of Petunias, various Dahlia seeds,
Coleus, some varieties of Antirrhinum,
Portulaca, Salpiglossis and Verbena, as
well as a munber of European varieties
of seeds conunonly used by American
seedsmen.

The present demand for flower seeds,
is considerably greater than usual, and
all seedsmen handling considerable
quantities, agree that there is bound to
be a shortage in this line. Both the
florists and seedsmen should secure their
supply of flower seeds from their usual
sources at the earliest opportunity.

Another Definition. — An optimist is a man
who expects to raise vegetables like those pictured

i

■n the seed catalogs.

Pushing Garden Tools in
the Spring

By ERNEST A. DENCH

SPRING is the time when large quan-
tities of garden tools can be sold with
comparatively little eSEort, But this
does not mean there should be any loaf-
ing on the job so far as your window dis-
plays are concerned. If you were the
only source of supply on an inaccessible
island you could afford to talie this atti-
tude. Not, however, when there are other
local stores which carry garden tools.
Even if you have a local monopoly, there
are still the mail order houses and the
big city stores to contend with. So,
whichever way you figure it out, you
must be up and doing in order to get your
full share of the garden tool business.
It is here where the attractive window
display proves its worth.

Among the South Sea Islands

Lazarus, Charleston, S. C, had an at-
tractiye display of all kinds of garden
tools in connection with which appeared
a large painted picture. The illustra-
tion, mounted on wallboard at the rear
center, lepicted charming South Seas
maidens, who wore beach grass skirts and
Horal wreaths for millinery, and danced
by moonlight on a tropical beach. The
caption the picture bore was as lollows:

"When young Mr. Lively saw this picture he
rushed oil to catch a ship bound for the South
Sea Islands.

He had no time to bother with luggage.

He just took a LAWiN MOWEH along. Of
course, he bought it of Lazurus."

Several unusual gardening windows
were arranged by Portland stores to
arouse mterest in the proposed local
Koseway. These displays can be util-
ized to push garden tools.

The Commnter's WTife in Her
Garden

The Powers Furniture Co., Portland,
Ore., introduced a life-size woman, cut
out at each rear side. The woman at
the left wore a sunbonnet and other ear-
den toggery and was posed in the atti-
tude of planting a Eose slip. The second
woman was equipped with a rake. The
rear center was occupied by a typical gar-
den fence. The setting behind these fig-
ures was that of a painted suburban
street, with gardens open to the street.
II iber grass covered the entire floor.
The Rose Garden

The Eastern Outfitting Co., Portland,
Ore, bedded their floor entirely with
thick, real moss, with strips of artificial
grass around the window's edge The
rear part of the trim was devoted 'to sev-
eral white arches, covered with trailing
Koses in full bloom. Under the arch was
a colored cut-out of a pretty girl in the
act of either picking or trailing the
flowers. On the fioor down in front were
several women dolls, each carrying a huge
armful of imitation American Beauty
Roses. In the midlle of the group of
dolls was a circle of white painted wood,
with fully fifty short stemmed Roses ai-
ranged around the circle.

The Snbnrban Setting

The Wonder Millinery, Portland, Ore
introduced a model miniature house at the
rear center. The door of the house was
open, so that a view of the interior, fur-
mshel with toy furniture, could be had
ihe porch of the house contained several
tmy jots filled with artificial Rose plants,
with chmbmg Roses trailed over the per-
gola. Ihe house stood in its own grounds
even complete to a tiny tree, with birds
perched on its branches. At the end
ot the garden came the street, made of
sravel, and with small sidewalks at each
side. A touring car stood on the street
m front of the house.

Macon, Ga.

Friends of Dan Horgan, of the Idle
Hour Nurseries, this city, are congratu-
lating him upon his election to the Bibb
County Road Board, he having been
chosen by the last Grand Jury for a po-
sition on that Board. Of him the Macon
News says: "Mr. Horgan is a live wire
and will be a valuable acquisition to the
Road Board."

Knoxville, Tenn.

The Mai^ket

Feb. 3. — Business for the month of
January surpassed the expectations of
even the most optimistic. Owing to the
closing down of a number of factories and
a general curtailment of business in other
lines, the florists did not anticipate a very
great increase in sales. In fact, they
would have been well pleased to break
even with last year. It is needless to
say that every one is well pleased to show
an increase of from 20 to 25 per cent in
sales.

Roses have been an off crop since after
the holidays, and it has been a hard mat-
ter to obtain enough to supply the retail
trade. _ There has been a good crop of
Carnations, but not a surplus, and the
retail price remains at $3 per doz. for
the ordinary varieties, and $4 and $5 per
doz. for Laddie. There has been a fair
supply of other stock, such as orchids.
Valley, Violets, Sweet Peas, Narcissi and
Hyacinths, and the demand has been good
at the usual price.

Nexirs Notes

The Knoxville Florists' Society held its
annual banquet on Jan. 20, at the Busi-
ness Men's Club with a large percentage
of the members present. The table was
arranged in the shape of the letter F and
the banquet hall was beautifully decorated
with cut flowers, blooming plants, palms
and ferns. Bruce Howell, vice-president
of the society presided as 'Toastmaster and
an enjoyable program was rendered.

After the banquet was over the tables
were removed, and the florists and their
friends danced until nearly midnight.

Brockway Crouch, for some time with
the firm of John Breitmeyer's Sons of
Detroit, has returned to Knoxville, and
is again connected with the firm of
Crouch-Florist, having assumed the man-
agement of the store.

A. H. Dailey is enjoying a full share
of the good business.

Baum's Home of Flowers is very busy
just now in grading and shipping Gladio-
lus bulbs. The demand for "Sunny
Tennesssee Brand Gladiolus Bulbs," is
heavT-

Mrs. Rosa Hall Ryno is busy in making
preparation for Spring bedding plant
business.

The firm heretofore known as Addison
J. McNutt, Florist, recently became the
McNutt Floral Co. This firm was re-
cently granted a charter for incorpora-
tion with Mr. McNutt as president and
general manager, and C. W. Henderson of
the C. W. Henderson Co., as secretary-
treasurer. Other prominent business men
signed the charter, including R. W. Perry,
cashier of the American National Bank,
and Fred C. Reep ot the C. W. Hender-
son Co. The new firm is composed of
some of Knoxville's best business men and
promises to become an important factor in
the florist business of this city.

The following traveling salesmen have
called on the florists during the last few
days: Jack Morichard, of the S. S. Pen-
nock Co., Philadelphia; Bob Shoch, of the
M. Rice Co., Philadelphia; J. Keur, of C.
Keur & vSons, Hillegom, Holland; Mr.
Olsen, of the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago,
and Howard Rover, of H. Bayersdorfer &
Co., Philadelphia. "Southro/'

Baltimore, Md.

Feb. 8. — Business has been moving
along nicely; the supply being about the
same as last week, with the excep-
tion of Carnations; the receipts of
these show a slight shortage. In other

stock, there has been no special change,
and prices have been fairly steady — short
and medium Eoses are not plentiful, but
the long fancy grades are in strong supply.

Easter Lilies are short on local stock;
Callas are in better supply and price has
dropped a little. The single Violet mar-
ket is a bit over-stocked, but the quality
is fine. Next Monday will be Violet
Growers Day for profit. Freesia are
pushing along to heavy receipts; prices
are on the down scale.

In bulbous stock, white Hyacinths have
eased up and the price is stronger.

Narcissus and Tulips are more plenti-
ful, moving at a good price.

Snapdragon is about the only real
scarce flower in this market; it commands
a good price whenever obtainable.

The first (local) white Lilac was seen
this week.

The (local) Cattleyas crop for St. Val-
entine Day will be just right; orchids
have been plentiful and cheap, but the
situation is now well in hand.

Sweet Peas are not crowding the mar-
ket and prices are about as last week.

The supply of miscellaneous flowers is
not great.

Very few Pansies about as yet, and the
supply of Asparagus has shortened up
with some of the houses. The general
list of greens is about as usual.

Personal and Field Notes

The rumor that the long established
business concerns of Charles E. Akehurst
& Sons, of Fullerton, Md., had been sold,
has been confirmed by Goldsborough &
Goldsborough, acting for a number of well-
knoAvn business men. The personnel and
the management of the new company will
be given in our next issue.

Wm. Feast, of Saml. Feast & Sons, who
is always on the lookout for good novel-
ties, is at present trying out a block of
Leptosyne. Stillmanii, a very free flower-
ing annual, with large, single yellow Daisy-
like flowers. Wm. Feast first saw this
novelty at the New York Show last
March. It looks very promising.

The splendid block of giganteum Lilies
for Easter show special care, and run
very even.

E. F. Schwartz, of Lauraville, has a
fine prospect in his Lilies, Cinerarias,
Primulas and bulbous stock.

James Glass, as usual, is in line with a
house of Hydrangeas, Avell set with buds
and fine foliage.

John P. Willheim is a busy man these
days; his Easter specialties are rounding
into shape. He has a notable batch of
Cinerarias, Callas, Geraniiuns and bulbous
stock.

Ed. Kress, Jr., is cutting some "wonder
size" Beacon Carnations, and his pot
Roses will bring big returns this year.

James Hamilton speaks very highly of
Madame Butterfiy, and is grafting large
quantities of this famous Rose.

M. Hilperts' new house is filled with
Easter promise. The Cinerarias here are
specimens, each and every one.

Robert L. Graham has been cutting
giganteum Lilies all season. The formo-
sum are in tip-top condition for Easter.

Arthur Richmond's stock of Geraniums
in 4, 5, and 6in. pots, for the store trade,
is practically all set with flowers and
buds.

W. L. Summers reports a splendid busi-
ness during January, and says the Lenten
season makes no apparent difference at
his store.

Charles Hochstedt had the misfortune
to cut his right hand, very severely, while
working a large electric saw recently. He
is now able to be about the greenhouses,
and is on the road to speedy recovery.

By the time this issue of The Florists'
Exchange is in the hands of our sub-
scribers. Ash Wednesday, will have come
and gone; there has been an impression
for many years, especially in Baltimore,
that during the Lenten season, the flower-
loving public refrain from all social fes-
tivities and the buying and sending of
flowers. In conversation with one of our
prominent retail men, the opinion was
voiced, that after the first week of
Lent, flowers move just the same.

Next meeting, Florist Club of Balti-
more, Feb. 14. Do not fail to attend.

Wm. E. Babikow & Sons, of Rossville,
report the finest lot of Pansy plants they
have ever gro'tvn. This firm has been sow-
ing one special strain of Pansy seed for
years — noted for extreme fancy coloring
and size.

Send your valentine orders early — so
you may get to the club in good time.

i The Week at the Capital j

Seed Bids Wanted

Bids for seed for the last quarter
of the present fiscal year will be opened
Feb. 17 by the General Supply Commit-
tee, in Washington. Among the seeds on
which quotations are desired are the fol-
lowing:

Alfalfa, purity, 98; germination, 90;
Alsike Clover, purity, 98; germination,
90; Red Clover, purity, 98; germination,
90; White Clover, purity, 98; germina-
tion, 90; Kentucky Blue Grass, purity, 80;
germination, 70 ; Red Top, purity, 85;
germination, 85; Rye, purity, 99; germina-
tion, 95; Timothy, purity, 98; germina-
tion, 90; Orchard Grass, purity, 90;
germination, 90; Perennial Rye Grasa,
purity, 95; germination, 90; Italian Rye
Grass, purity, 95; germination, 90.

It is probable that the committee will
not make purchases of all classes of seed
during the period covered by the quota-
tion, since in the corresponding period of
last year, purchases totaled only 428
pounds of White Clover; 2418 pounds of
Kentucky Blue Grass; 999 pounds of Red
Top; 1480 pounds of Rye; 150 pounds of
Timothy; 310 pounds of Orchard Grass,
and 70 pounds of Italian Rye Grass.

Quotations on the above seeds are de-
sired for lots of less than 50 pounds, lots ■
of from 50 to 99 pounds, and lota of
100 pounds or more.

In addition to the planting seeds, quo-
tations are desired on Canary, Hemp,
Maw, Millet, Rape, Thistle and Simflower.
Last year's purchases in the three month
period were 500 pounds each of Canary,
Hemp and Millet, 51 pounds of Rape and. '
1010 pounds of Sunflower.

Germany Out for Business

Germany is making determined ef-
forts to recover her markets in Latin-
Ajnerica, according to cabled rej)orts re-
ceived at the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce. Thus far, the com-
petition seems to be confined mostly to
hardware and metals, but with the an-
nouncement from Mexico that quotations
are being offered, it is believed that it
will be but a short time before Germany
is again in the field with the commodities
in which, before the war she was a strong
competitor of the United States. Among
the articles in which she formerly spe-
cialized were jewelry, certain seeds,
florists' supplies, dyes, etc. E. A. D.

Dahlia Society of California Bulletin il

This too is becoming a factor in Dahlia
literature. The issue just to hand is <
packed with interesting information, in-
cluding the reports of the several shows
at San Francisco and elsewhere last
Fall.

One feels inclined to question the state-
ment that "San Francisco is now inter-
nationally recognized as the greatest
Dahlia production area for new species
and types." The term "internationally"
embraces the entire world, but we have
not heard of anyone outside of California
making such claims. Further, it would,
we think, puzzle anyone to produce new
species. These were all discovered and
worked upon long before California be-
came a Dahlia raising center. When we
mentally figure the many hundreds of
varieties and types of Dahlias that have
been raised in various parts of the world
during the past fifty years or so, and
that the work is always going on, we may
be excused for doubting even Califorma*i
ability to stand ahead of the rest of the
country and Europe in the production
of new Dahlias.

An interesting note regarding J. J.
Broomall of Eagle Rock is given. Mr.
Broomall started Dahlia growing over a
score of years ago ; many of the varieties
he handled then were obtained from
Peter Henderson, and Henry Cannell, the
old time English florist who introduced ,
Juarezii. [

Mr. Broomall issued his first list in
1S99. but it was not until 1907 that he |
migrated to Southern California at the j
advice of his doctor. '

Several illustrations are included in the !
bulletin, that of receiving Dahlias by air- ■
plane for the big show being decidedly
unusual. Advertisements are numerous,
not a few Eastern specialists being rep-
resented. ,

Didiscus Coerulea

The Lace Flower
Quite a few of us bandied this little
plant for the first time last year. While
not of a very robust nature, and not likely
to become as popular as many other
things, it is pretty, and the out-of-town
florist, anxious to always have something
out of the ordinary to show his patrons,
should grow at least a few plants. Its
delicate little light blue flowers can't help
but attract attention when displayed in a
small basket or low dish with a setting
of Maidenhair fern. We sowed the seed
last year about the middle of February;
part of the plants were carried on in 2in.
pots and planted later on a Carnation
house bench, where they started to flower
in early May. Another lot were trans-
planted into Sin. drip flats, and grown still
cooler, which made them come in bloom
at the end of May. Still another lot
were grown on in pots, but the ones in
the Carnation house were by far the best.
Try a few this year.

Schizanthus

For a mass of Sowers on long graceful
stems, excellent for cuttings, sow seed of
Schizanthus now in a flat. Transplant
the seedlings later on into 2in. pots and
plant out on a solid bed about the end of
March. Ton will get a mass of flowers
all through May and have the bench
ready for another crop by the end of
that month. If you have plants on hand
now in 3 or 4in. pots, but would like to
grow them into larger specimens before
flowering, pinch them back and shift,
or pinch and plant in a cool house on a
solid bed.

Candytuft

You don't have to live near a ceme-
tery in order to make a crop of fine
Candytuft pay. Every florist retailing
his home grown stock, can do it and
should do it. For early Spring flower-
ing, sow now cither the Giant Empress
or Hyacinth flowered, transplant seed-
lings into 2111. pots, and, before they
become pot-bound, plant about lOin.
apart on a solid bed. Candytuft
delights in a rich soil and good drainage
and a cool house. You can't force it
and get results, nor crowd it if you want
large spikes.

Palms and Ferns

If there should happen to be a little
time to spare, you can't use it to better
advantage than going over things in the
palm house. The so-calZed palm house
with the smaller grower, usually contains
everything in the line of palms, ferns and
other foliage plants of decorative value,
and I have yet to find the establishment,
whether large or small, doing a lot of
business, where one couldn't go over the
plants used for decorating, and do some
good. No matter how careful you are
in handling the stock, they will get
abused one way or other, and palms to-
day are too expensive to be in any way
neglected. The time you spend in trim-
ming the leaves, washing them, shifting
the plants, or repotting, will more than
pay for itself. Look over your Bostons,
which have been in 5 or 6in. pots since
last Fall ; this is a good time to repot
them. If you give them plenty of room
afterward, they will develop into fine
specimens around Easter. If you have
Bostons with rather light foliage, apply
dry blood, which has no equal to obtain
a dark green color. About a tablespoon-
ful for a 6in. pot will do it; work into
the surface of the soil.

Ageratum

If you want Ageratum for bedding
purposes, you must have the plants true
to name and propagated from cuttings.
We have such sorts as Princess Pauline,
Blue Star and others, all good, and of
which the average florist can purchase
rooted cuttings cheaper than he can grow
them himself. For ordinary purposes,
however, such as using the plants in win-
dow boxes or, for cut flowers, plants
grown from seed will answer every bit as
well. To get the best results, one should
sow now ; allow at all times plenty of
space between the plants, grow them like
the Verbenas, cool, and make use of a
stiff heavy soil for the final shift. You
don't want plants one foot tall and in
need of a stake; you want short stocky
examples, full of flowers and bud by the
middle and end of May. If they have
been grown in heavy soil and cool, you
will get them. People wanting cut
flowers during Summer of blue shades,
can make no mistake in planting Ager-
atum grown from seed of such sorts as
Giant Blue or Blue Perfection ; every
retail grower can dispose of good num-
bers of them, but early sowing is neces-
sary if you want bushy plants in 4in. pots
and not such as have been grown in a
Rose house temperature in 2r/^in. pots.

Dollars and the Coming Spring

You are, or should be getting ready
for the great coming Spring business; no
matter how dull times may be and are
with many of the florists located in small
towns, as soon as the buds outdoors be-
gin _ to swell and the first Crocus push
their way through the covering, every
man with a little patch of lawn, a
flower bed, or a small garden, gets the
planting fever and, if he doesn't, the lady
of the house will. This means for you to
be ready with any and everything which

might be wanted to beautify the home
grounds. There isn't any good reason
why the country florist can't do this and
make as much, if not more money during
the months of April, May, June and
July, than all others combined. Don't
be contented with disposing of the stock
you grow under glass, for there is a
larger field awaiting you outdoors. Get
acquainted with trees, shrubs, ever-
greens, conifers, perennials and so-called
hardy flowering stock. Get interested in
landscape work; in laying out a shrub,
a perennial bed or making a lawn. Know
about handling seeds and fertilizers as
well as carrying them. There never was
a greater demand for all of these things,
and the country florist should supply them.

Hunnemannia

Giant Tulip Poppy

If you have the space, you might con-
sider sowing out a package or two of
Hunnemannia. Transplant the seedlings
as soon as large enough to handle into
2in. pots, and give a 45 to 48 degree house.
When ready for a shift, plant out either
on a solid bed or a bench ; say about
early April. The plants can stand a
Carnation house temperature. You will
have good use for the -flowers in early
May, and I don't know but what the
space devoted to them will pay you as
well if not better than other annuals
would. _ Your patrons are always ready
to admire the flowers not seen every day.
The Hunnemannia, while by no means
new, makes an ideal cut flower and can
be made to pay both in and outdoors.
Sow seed in a frame about the first of
April ; another sowing can be made in
the open by May 1. Let up during the
hot Summer months and sow again about
August 15 for a Fall crop. They will
flower as late as the Anemones and when
cut only partly open will last four to
five days in water.

{ Catalogs Received

I Green's Nursery Co., Rochester, N. Y.- — A
complete hardy fruit catalog listing all the leading
varieties in each section. A select list of shrubs,
trees. Rosea and hardy perennials is also given, the
entire compilation being freely illustrated with
photo cuts.

Pape & Bergmann, Quedlinburgh, Gennany. —
NovelW seed list for 1921, offering double Cosmos,
early ChryaanthemumB, Antirrhinums and Petu-
nias in several varieties. The dwarf violet Petunia
appears to be a useful addition to the bedding types.
Godetia Whitney's compacta Aurora, too, growing
as it does, only eight inches, offers a useful line for
pots. It is said to do well when lifted and potted,
and the illustration shows a wonderfully effective
pot plant.

Routledge Seed & Floral Co., Portland, Ore. —
Controlled by foTir brothers, this firm shows by its
catalog that it is a progressive one. A complete
line of vegetable, flower and farm seeds is enumer-
ated, the illustrations in connection with same being
numerous. The plant department is extensive and
' embraces pot plants, bedding stock, and hardy
I perennials. Gladioli, Cannas, Dahlias, Roses,
I shrubs, vines, trees, and fruits are also handled. A
new Strawberry named Wellington Marvel is spe-
cially featured. Garden sundries of all kinds and an
unusually full line of poultry goods also are listed.
Among the latter goods is the Wonder Egg Tester
' which enables one to tell whether an egg is fertile
and also the sex before it is hatched. Not only
this, it will disclose the sex of the animal which pro-
vided the leather or fur from which one's shoes or
clothes were made.

W. F. Brown, Norwich, Conn. — An up-to-date
Dahlia list describing many new and standard vari-
eties of all types. We are somewhat startled by the
headings Decoratus and Ponpons, but assume these
are errors that the proof-reader failed to observe.

Geo. _H. Walker, No. Dighton Mass, — A neat
pocket list of Dahlias describing a considerable num-
ber of the most select varieties in their respective
types; and also a general list of standard sorts ar-
ranged in alphabetical order. The class in which
they belong is noted against each variety. Several
good illustrations are given.

Mead-Suydam Co., Newark, N. J. — An illus-
trated descriptive, artistically gotten up booklet,
dealing with the Mead-Suydam system of concrete
benches for greenhouses. Several excellent phono-
graphic cuts show work as carried out at the green-
' hDUBes of Madsen & Chriatensen, Wood Ridge,
N. J. We had the pleasure of seeing these benches
last Fall and learned from Mr. Christensen that
every house was to be similarly fitted, owing to the
perpetual expense connected with wooden benches.
Several technical illustrations and a blue print are
included in the booklet under notice, while full de-

tails regarding the construction are given. The
models are supplied complete so that the grower
may make the blocks at odd times, ready for when
required. _ The molds may also be rented. The
company is prepared to give any information regard-
ing bench building desired.

Kelway & Son, Langport, England. — Wholesale
Seed Catalog, United States edition. An 8S-page
list that every seedsman should keep on his desk.
This well known house makes a point of selling seed
only to bona fide seedsmen; florists and market
growers requiring the Kelway seed lines, can only
obtain them through a seed house. The catalog
before us is particularly well printed on good paper
and, apart from the standard varieties of vegetables
and flowers, enumerates a large number of Kelway
specialties, which occupy more than one-half the
entire catalog. This section is beautifully illus-
trated with half-tone cuts, electros of which are
offered gratis. These illustrations show some ex-
ceedingly fine types of vegetables and flowers.
Specially interesting is the Clemataquila, or spurless
Aquilegia, a strain supposed to have originated as
a hybrid between a Clematis and Aquilegia. Thia
novel type is to be had in some 23 different shades
of color. Seed of the famous Kelway Delphiniums
which have an international reputation, is offered
in light, dark and mixed shades, and the new Ry-
burgh hybrid double Poppies which have apparently
taken the entire world by storm, are also offered.
The only subject other than seeds listed is the Glad-
iolus, of which a few standard sorts and the famed
Golden Measure are quoted. Copies of the firm's
retail hardy plant and Gladiolus catalogs may be
obtained on application.

The Fraser Nursery Co., Inc., Birmingham,
Ala. — Special surplus list for nurserymen and dealers
only. Offers deciduous shrubs, vines, perennials,
shade trees, broad leaved and coniferous evergreens
and Roses.

The McGregor Bros. Co., Springfield, O. —
Located in what is claimed to be the greatest Rose
producing center in the world, this firm issues a cat-
alog with colored covers, depicting Roses, Gera-
niums. Chrysanthemums and Carnations. Of the
latter, one must confess to a doubt as to whether J.
Whitcomb Riley, or any other true American type
of Carnation ever showed such a depth of color.
Roses are specially featured and all the leading vari-
eties are fully described. Greenhouse plants, Can-
nas, Gladioli, Chrysanthemums, hardy perennials,
Lilies, etc., are indiscriminately listed and illus-
trated throughout the catalog, while some 12 pages
are devoted to flower and vegetable seeds. The il-
lustrations are very numerous, most of them from
photographs.

John Scheepers Inc., 522 Fifth ave., N. Y. —
Like all the Scheepers literature, this DahUa catalog
stands in a class by itself. The term catalog is
scarcely applicable; it is an artistic brochure in
which varietal names and prices are grouped to-

gether for convenience. Consisting of 16 pages of
heavy art paper, size 12in. x lOHin. and bound in
stiff gray covers bearing a charming photographic
illustration on the front, one feels that the firm's
name is the only thing that relegates it among trade
lists. Several specially good photograph views of
Judge Marean's gardens at Green's Farms, Conn.,
show that flowers, other than Dahlias receive con-
sideration, but the most important illustrations
are the three full page color plates showing in-
dividual blooms of Mrs. I. de Ver Warner, pink,
Judge Marean, flame color, and Mcphistopheles,
cnmson. John Scheepers, Inc., as is well known,
has the sole distribution rights of the Marean
Dahlias and in the list before us, Mr, Scheepers
gives a brief resume of the work among Dahlias as
earned out by Judge Marean and his able gardener,
John Harding. A letter from Judge Marean ia
also given. The 50 odd varieties offered are divided
into two classes. No. 1 class embraces what Judge
Marean considers of superlative merit, and in-
cludes both Peony and Decorative types. The
other class consists of 17 varieties; all are offered
at a flat rate of S5 each. The super-set are for the
most part priced at SIO.

Peacock Dahlia Farms, Berlin, N. J. — The
World's Best Dahlias. A grandiloquent title for a
catalog perhaps, but nevertheless literally true,
as the list of varieties offered is the outcome of
rigid selection from all the most notable Dahlias
raised in Europe and our own country. The front
cover depicts the new Peony flowered Queen Eliza-
beth which, for color, rivals the famous Delice,
while of greater size. It has not the failings of
some Peony varieties, as its curling florets cover the
center disc. The back cover shows Golden West,
the Californian raised Cactus which is described as
in a class by itself. A considerable number of other
new and rare varieties are offered including Charles
Lawrence, crimson, and Mary Steffenson, citron
and white: a couple of florida productions, Patrick
O'Mara, Katherine De la Mare, yellow and pink,
Kitty dela Mare, primrose flushed pink, Seminole,
cardinal red, and Nancy Alden, pink. A full and
complete list of standard Cactus, Single, Decora-
tive, Peony varieties and Show varieties is em-
bodied in this catalog. Among these, almost
everything that is in commerce and worth while,
can be found and, it may be truly said, that some
of these older sorts lose nothing by comparison
with some of the newer varieties.

The J. Chas. McCuUough Seed Co., Cincin-
nati, O. — A comprehensive catalog offering practi-
cally everything required for the making of a per-
fect garden. Seeds of all kinds in the best varieties
are a specialty; over 60 pages being devoted to
them. Plants of all kinds and sundries take up
the remaining 30 pages and here one finds hardy
perennials, Vines, Roses, Summer flowering bulbs,
shade trees, evergreens, ornamental shrubs and

fruits, tools and poultry suppUes. The catalog is
freely illustrated with half tone cuts.

R. Vincent Jr. & Sons, White Marsh, Md. —
February wholesale price list of ferns, Ageratum,
Coleus, Geraniums and general bedding stock.

Knull Floral Co., Tampa, Florida. — Bound in
stiff brown covers, well illustrated, and printed on
good paper, this catalog is at once attractive.
The dehghtful views of Florida gardens with their
attractive palms and other trees make one sigh
with self pity. Pahns of all kinds in pots and tubs,
shade trees, flowering shrubs, greenhouse plants,
Roses, ferns and flowering bulbs are listed in great
variety. Seeds of specially selected flowers are
also offered together ■piith sundries of various kinds.

American Dahlia Society Bulletin

If the A. D. S. Bulletin coutinues to
grow, it will soon paas into tlie real book
class. Consisting of 32 pages, the Janu-
ary number is packed with information
interesting and serviceable to the Dahlia
lover.

The report of the 1920 Trials at the
Connecticut Agricultural College Gardens
Stores by G. W. Fraser, is both lengthy
and comprehensive. Four pages are de-
voted to the descriptions of varieties
tested. An interesting photograph of the
judges of the trials ia a feature.

A report of the California Dahlia So-
ciety show also makes interesting reading.

An excellent illustration of the new
Dahlia Patrick O'Mara, with a note
regarding it, appears on page six, while
spread over the other pages are many
short jottings and interesting letters.

The list of registrations is quite ex-
tensive, while considerable data regarding
the possibility of extracting sugar is given
in an article by J. J. Willman, of the
Minnesota University.

"The best lOff Dahlias," "Dahlia
Breeding," and "Dahlias for Northern
Breeding," and "Dahlias for Northern New
York," are three other important articles.

A particularly notable feature of the
bulletin is the large number of advertise-
ments it contains. The Western spe-
cialists are vieing with those of the
Bast ; proof that Dahlias are a source of
revenue because of the greatly developed
public interest, which is leading many to
join the A. M, S.

The Florists' Exchange

Pittsburgh, Pa.

There has been no marked change in
market conditions here during the past
week; no big increase in supply and no
decrease in demand; in fact, a happy
medium has prevailed that, with few ex-
ceptions, has kept the market pretty well
cleaned up all week, with no noticeable
surplus at any time. Bulb stock is more
plentiful with the result that prices have
declined somewhat on Roses and Carna-
tions, but at that, prices are high enough
80 that the grower can realize a profit.

The outlook for Valentine Day is
bright. The wholesale houses have sent
out their price lists which show no in-
crease, and with a little advertising the
day should break all records.

The supply of Roses remains about the
same as it has been for several weeks,
with hardly enough to go around, but the
growers all report that there should be
an increase in the cut from now on. What
looked like it might develop into a glut
of Carnations last week has turned out
this week to be a shortge. The supply of
Easter Lilies is on the increase, but they
are still short of the demand, and prices
remain firm, which also holds good of
Calla Lilies.

There are not nearly so many Paper-
whites seen, but it does not seem to make
any difference how many there are; it is
impossible to advance the price over $5
or ?6 per 100, for when you do, they begin
to stick and have to be carried over and
eventually sold for less to clean them up.
Jonquils and Tulips are in heavier supply
and meet with a good demand. Freesia
has been in over-supply, and at times hard
to move, but the week-end found a let-up,
with the result that most of it was cleaned
up at good prices.

The supply of Sweet Peas remains about
the same, with daily clearances. The
quality is good and prices average from
$2 to ?4 per 100, wholesale.

Some of the best Valley seen here in
years is coming in daily, but the public
seems to have been weaned away from
Valley during the period of shortage and
high prices. Violets have been in better
demand than for some time, and with
most of the stores featuring them, it
should not be long until they are as pop-
ular as they used to be. The supply of
orchids is equal to all demands.

Scotch Heather has become quite a fac-
tor and in most of the stores you will
find them featuring it in one way or an-
other; there are many ways in which it
can be used.

News Notes

The Pittsburgh Florists & Gard-
eners Club held its regular monthly meet-
ing Tuesday evening, Feb. 1. Mr. Sheri-
dan of The McCallum Co. entertained
with some of his experiences in France,
Belgium, and England. A lunch was
served, and the largest attendance of the
season turned out. After the regular
meeting, the election of officers for the
coming year was held with the following
results: President, John C. Barnett;
Vice-President, John C. Walley; Secretary
and Treasurer, Carl Becherer; Ass't Sec-
retary, J. J. Costof.

Executive Committee : John Rheine-
man, Augustus Frishkorn, Julius W. Lud-
wig.

Cornelius Colyn, Jr., of C. Colyn &
Sons, Coorhout, Holland, was the guest
of the club. This is Mr. Colyn's first trip
to America, and while everything is
strange, he says that from the way he
has been received, and the hospitality
sho^vn him wherever he has been, he is
sure he is going to like America. So far,
the trade will not let him get homesick.
He predicts lower prices on all bulbs for
next season.

The Retail Florists Ass'n. of the Pitts-
burgh district held their regular monthly
ipeeting and dinner at the Seventh ave.
Hotel Thursday evening, Feb. 3 at 7 p. m.
A good crowd was in attendance, and dur-
ing the absence of President Harper, Vice-
President Scheaff was in the chair.

An appropriation of $1500 was made
to carry on newspaper advertising for 1921,
and it was also voted to incorporate the
association.

The McCallimi Co. have re-leased the
building they now occupy at 137 Seventh
St. for a long term of years, and in addi-
tion have also leased the three story build-
ing next door at 139-141 Seventh st.,
which, will be used for additional work
rooms for the decorative department.

The force of E. A. Williams, Inc., was
forced to work all Friday night in order
to get out the large number of orders

they had for the W. A. Snyder funeral.
The orders included a blanket of Violets
and orchids.

The A. W. Smith Flower Stores Co.,
are again featuring the week-end dollar
box.

Paul Klingsporn, of The Chicago Flower
Growers Ass'n was a Pittsburgh visitor
on his way home from the Carnation con-
vention.

Other out-of-town visitors included
Frank Adgate of Warren, Ohio; Wm. G.
Jones, Dubois, Pa.; H. W. Girton, Ridg-
way. Pa.; Wm. N. Graham and C. E.
Gunton, Bradford, Pa. E. C. Tipton.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

With us, in the anthracite coal region,
there has not been any sign of stringency
in the cut flower and plant business. We
are not hit as hard as other sections of
the country. The Penn Floral Co., of
Dorranceton and Wilkes-Barre is the
main local supply station for our local
trade, and it is doing well. The florist
stores are reporting good business — supply
inadequate, especially in Carnations.

J. Dooley the Florist is erecting several
new greenhouses at Dorranceton, as is J.
Weaver of Kingston, Pa. Mr. Weaver
purchased the eight houses from the H.
Cornell estate; Mrs. Cornell having sold
them to Mr. Weaver, who is now dis-
mantling them and erecting a new plant
across the river near Kingston, Pa. The
property is being sold for building lots.

The Park Department of Wilkes-Barre
has received a cheque for $250,000 for
Kirby Park improvements from Mr. F. M.
Kirby of the Woolworth Co. Mr. Kirby
has appointed a commission of three gen-
tlemen to act as a special Park Commis-
sion, namely, Gilbert McClintoek, J. Nor-
ris and Major Dorrance Reynolds. We
have begun the work of filling in low
land in Kirby Park, which will be made
into a great community recreation field
and park and which will comprise all
modern features and facilities for out-
door recreation. Chas. L. Seybold.

Lancaster, Pa.

Feb. 5. — Without either a boom or a
slump, there is little to report on retail
trade in this city, except to say that
it is about normal, with perhaps a little
less display at funerals and a slight in-
crease in the nimiber of flowers used at
social functions. This latter feature con-
tinues, however, woefully lacking from a
florist's point of view and every means
possible should be used to stimulate it.

The B. F. Barr Co. the past week has
been working along these lines. Mrs.
Spera, the store manager, as a member
of the Quota Club, had every member wear
a red, white and blue corsage at a lec-
ture given under its auspices on "Music
and its Relation to Americanization," and
afterward presenting the lecturer with an
immense bouquet of red, white and blue
flowers. The same flrm made up 100
corsage bouquets for a ladies' affair, held
by the Kiwanis Club, of which Mr. Barr
is a member.

The growers are having some reasonable
weather and are looking forward to re-
covering a small portion of the proflts
they lost during the past three months.

The weather continues unusually warm;
frost has been practically out of the
ground all Winter. Up to this time it
has not stayed at freezing long enough
to really solidify the ground, and growers
of perennials are just a little bit wor-
ried as to how their stock will come out
in the Spring.

The coal situation has reversed; coal
buyers are being sought as customers by
the mines, instead of their having to beg
for their supply. Coal can be bought at
various prices, between $2.60 and $4.25 at
the mines, with $3.75 as the average price
for good coal.

Harrisburg had a real old-time wedding
decoration the past week, the pro-
prietors of the Utley Flower Shop
recei^'^ng the order on account of their
having proved themselves artists in this
line. It was a bit unusual, in the fact
that no limit was placed on the
price. Mr. and Mrs. Utley with their
corps of assistants were right on the job
and the work turned out, was certainly
a good advertisement for their house.
While the bill ran into four figures, the
work showed value for the money spent.
The dinner decorations at the Penn Har-
ris were the most elaborate used since
the war, and I want to say that they

were the most artistic that have ever
graced the Penn Harris. All this with
Mr. Utley carrying his arm in a sling
through a recent fracture.

The Washington echoes are still ring-
ing around the hills of Lancaster and the
latest to reach my ears was the report of
a new Carnation that is being tried out in
several localities this season, one of them
Washington, where it is not showing up
very well, and would not be an induce-
ment to the man looking for something
good. The other is a local man who is
so pleased with it that a good portion
of his place will be planted to it next
season. Whether it is soil, culture or
climate is problematic, but at least, what
is one man's meat is another man's
poison.

The Lancaster Florists' Club will have
a 75c. dinner at the Brunswick, Feb. 17,
at 6.30 p. m., and will be glad to have
any visitors who may send in their names
to the secretary, A. M. Herr, R. F. D.,
No. 8, Lancaster, Pa., to reach him the
15th. This will not be a closed door
-secret session, but it will be business from
the end of the coffee to the last car leav-
ing Lancaster. Albert M. Hebb.

Buffalo, N. Y.

The Market

Feb. 7. — The remarkably open Win-
ter this year has meant a great saving to
growers of this vicinity in the item of
coal, thus keeping the prices at a good
normal mark.

The supply of, Roses has increased some-
what and heavier arrivals are looked for
from now on. The range in Roses is $4
to $30 per 100 including all varieties; Co-
lumbia, Premier, Ophelia and Sunburst
running to the highest figures in special
grades. The Carnation supply is very
good and of fine uqality at $4 to $8. Lilies
are in small supply at $15 to $20. Jon-
quils and Tulips are coming in plentifully,
holding a good price at $o to $8. They
meet with very good demand. Sweet
Peas and Freesia are bringing a good de-
mand at $2 to $4 and $6 to $8 respectively.

The incoming Spring plants are being
displayed at a pretty fair price.

News Notes

The Bmffalo Retail Florists Associa
tion held its first meeting of the new
year at Hasting's wholesale house. The

on advertising. The main object of this
meeting was the installation of new of-
ficers for the ensuing year.

S. A. Anderson spoke in his usual inter-
esting way on publicity, which roused
everyone, both groivers and retailers, to

windows and the Florist Association is
planning a splendid advertising program
for the coming week. B. M. S.

Callas Bros., Jersey City, N. J.

Callas Bros., Jersey City's most popular
florists, have opened another branch store
at 750 Bergen ave. This is the third
store they have opened since the begin-
ning of their successful career in Jersey
City, seven years ago, the other two
stores being located at 100 Sip ave., their
main store, 2884 Hudson boulevard.

The opening display was the admiration
of thousands of Jersey City folk, the na-
tional slogan, "Say it with Flowers" be-
ing worked out in Carnations, Roses,
orchids and Violets. The interior of the
store is handsomely decorated, ferns and
Smilax hanging from the walls, on which
are large mirrors. In the window is a
fountain containing gold fish, some of
them quite rare specimens.

As an additional feature to "Callas
Service," a Hupmobile delivery car has
been furnished at an expense of S3000; it
is of a light blue, trimmed with gold.

Callas Bros., are noted for their fine
window displays, having won two first
prizes in recent contests. They also have
the reputation of being the best equipped
store in Hudson County.

Begonias and Primulas Injured !

Enclosed please find foliage of Begonia
and Primulas from plants which hav
been in our store from one to six days
The plants are apparently in perfect coi
dition when they arrive from our greei
houses, but quickly show damage in th
foliage. We are puzzled by this mala^
There are no gas connections in th
building.— W. R., N. J.

— The foliage received was somewha
withered, but we could find neither ii
sects nor disease. The shrivelling of tk
leaves appears to be due to some m«
chanical or outward injury.^ Are tli
plants sprayed with anything befoi
transference to the store? We are qui1
unable to diagnose the cause of the troub
which only becomes apparent after tl
plants leave the greenhouses.

The grower of theplants should be ab
to say something. Have you every <»>
fidence that gas is not permeating inl
your store from the mains?

"The Stuff That Counts"

Foreign Trade Opportunities

The Department of Commerce, Washington,
D. C, reports as follows;

34265. — A merchant in France desires to secure
an aRency and purchase fertilizers. Corre-
spondence should be in French.

"The test of a man is the fight he mak<

The grit that he daily shows ;
The way he stands on his feet and t&h

Fate's numerous bumps and blows,
A coward can smile when there's naug!
to fear,

When nothing his progress bars,
But it takes a man to stand up and chC'

While some otQier fellows stars.

"It isn't the victory after all,

But the fight that a brother makes;
The man who driven against the wall,

Still stands up erect and takes
The blows of fate with his head held hig

Bleeding, and bruised, and pale,
Is the man who'll win in the by and b!

For he isn't afraid to fail.

"It's the humps you get, and the jolts f
get, I

And the shocks that your coura
stands,
The hours of sorrow and vain regret,
The prize that escapes your hands,
That test your mettle and prove yo
worth ;
It isn't the blows you deal.
But the blows you take on the good (
earth
That shows if your stuff is real."

:a8 explained that many being gardeners,
; wasn't to be wondered at.

George Mills, who was treasurer of the
ssociation for a number of years, has
een uiade an lionorary member. He has
ented his greenhouse to Mr. Bullock.

The regular meeting of the association

'Europe. He will visit his father in Edin-
lurgh, and will then travel in England,
loliand and France. He hopes to spend
ome time in the famous gardens and
lower growing districts.

J. A. Neal states that business is good,
nd that stock is becoming more plentiful.
)afl[odils and Violets are abundant, Or-
hids sell well, but Violets were sold at
uch a high figure and for so long, that
leople consider them a luxury, and now,
ven at pre-war prices, they move slowly.

Wm. Hoath finds order are heavy for
esign work, and many beautiful and ex-
ensive pieces have been turned out.

The landscape gardening branch of the
lorticultuval Department, Ontario Agri-
altural College, Guelph, is being greatly

■ eveloped. Plans for school, home or
'immunity grounds are supplied free and

■ iveral experts are at the service of the
iral districts. All plans are made in

;ilor by J. E. Ramsdale, a graduate in

' lis class of work from South Kensington,
ondon. A. H. Tomlinson, B. S. A., who

'as charge of the work, states that par-
cular attention is being given at the
resent time to the development of at-
•active grounds. The department sends
sperts to visit any localities to make
irveys and offers help in planting.
harges are made only for expenses in

, mnection with the trips.

' Last week several Dutch travelers were
ere and sold several thousand bulbs to

; le florists. It is now learned from the
J^epartment of Botany at the University
t Toronto, that bulbs recently imported
ave a dangerous fungus disease.

\ The investigation came about as a re-

|ilt of protests on the part of a prominent
ealer that the bulbs with which the
luntry was being flooded, were largely
tifit for planting. He declared that some

if the Dutch fields are infested with
acteria, and the purposes of the recent
ying visits of the Dutch travelers in
ich numbers was to "unload" on the
anadian dealers.

Infected samples were submitted to the
otanical laboratories of the University
f Toronto for examination. Cultures of
le parasite made at the Forestry Build-
ig by Miss Currie showed that the dis-
ise was "Septoria Gladioli," commonly
illed, "hard rot." Dr. Fault, of the
orestry Department, confirmed Miss
urrie's diagnosis of the disease, and aaid
le infection had been rather prevalent
c late. The bulbs examined were rather
nail in size and their surfaces were
Jvered with hard brownish-black growths,
hese growths are characteristic of dia-
ised Gladioli, and if the bulbs are
:lanted, will often cause them to decay
;i the ground. When growth does occur,
le blooms are defective or small.
This matter is to be taken up at the
.invention of the Ontario Horticultural
ociety, which meets in Toronto this
tenths.

Overflows from Washington

Tkose who availed themselves of the
opportunity provided by Wm. F. Gude
and other Washingtonians, thoroughly en-
joyed the trip to Mount Vernon. On
Wednesday morning, two of the Gude
autos carried most of the Visiting ladies
to the home of "The Father of Our
Country."

The opportunity to see one of Amer-
ica's most sacred places of historical inter-
est was greatly appreciated. On the re-
turn journey, the wonderful Maine Me-
morial, consisting of an immense amphi-
theater constructed of white marble, was
inspected. From this amphitheater all
future presidential Memorial Day ad-
dresses will be delivered. This wonderful
structure took five years to build, cost
$800,000, and will accommodate many
thousands of people.

If Wallace R. Pierson were made con-
troller of the United States Treasury,
some of the would-be spenders would have
a hard time putting their plans over.

The weather during convention days
was brilliant, and a contrast to what
greeted the Chrysanthemum "boys" in
November last. Then it was a ease of
umbrellas; last week it was almost a case
of sunshades.

Corner & Sons did not have an entirely
happy day, because their scarlet had a
^'ni^t out" and no one knew where to
locate it.

Laddie, however, made up for it, indeed,
one has the notion that Laddie is so far
ahead of other varieties as an exhibition
fiower, and incidentally as a price maker
in the markets, that it has become the
standard by which all varieties are judged,
to their discomforture.

Secretary A. F. J. Baur appeared tobe
quite serious in his proposal that during
the coming year members should seek and
nominate a new candidate for the office
of secretary at the next annual meeting.

That the office is no sinecure for a
busy man goes without saying and,_ it is
not always easy to find one sufficiently
keen to take on such a job. Incidentally,
it is no easy task for a much esteemed
secretary to convince his colleagues that
he is serious when he talks of resigning.

T. A. Weston, late secretary of the
British Carnation Society, succeeded only
by crossing the ocean; the mere fact of
his being in the army for several years
was immaterial, indeed, the members were
quite proud of having a secretary who
could do little or nothing while so eu-

Minot, K. D.; P. J. Meyers, Bismarck,
N. D.; E. J. Rhodes, Jamestown, N. D.;

E. W. Schuster, Crookston, Minn.; Ben

F. Seibrecht, Aberdeen, S. D.; Wm. Isaac-
son, Fergus Falls, Minn.; E. H. Golden-
stein, representing Vaughan's Seed Store,
Chicago and New York; Matt Schilz of
the Ove Gnatt Co., La Porte, Ind., and
W. Topel of the 0. R. Eckhardt Co., of
St. Paul, Minn.

The morning was taken up in getting
acquainted, and a trip was taken to the
Shotwell greenhouses and also to the
Brigg's establishment, the latter in Moor-
head, following which limcheon was served
at the Comstock Hotel, as guests of the
Brigg's Floral Co. The dining room was
beautifully decorated with flowers, and
an electric sign with the slogan, "Say it
with Flowers," was not overlooked. Af-
ter the repast, the party inspected the
range of the Smedley Floral Co., follow-
ing which they returned to the Waldorf
Hotel, where the business meeting was
held. Geo. B. Valker was appointed
temporary chairman, and a discussion on
organization was called for and action
soon decided upon. Officers were then
elected as follows: W. B. Shotwell, pres-
ident; B. F. Seibrecht, vice-president;
Emory F. Gestie, secretary-treasurer.
Directors: Geo. E. Valker and P. J.
Meyer. It was decided to hold two meet-
ings each year, January and June, dates
to be decided upon by the president.

Brief addresses were made by E. J.
Goldenstein, W. B. Shotwell, Geo. E.
Valker, W. P. Lindberg, Ben Seibrecht,
and E. J. Schuster. The object of the new
organization will be to promote better co-
operation, keep prices on a living scale,
investigate railroad claims and coal prices
and if justified, buy commodities near
home.

J. W. Brigg's of Moorhead introduced
a folding easel which he has patented,
and which met with approval.

An enjoyable banquet was held at the
Waldorf Hotel with the Shotwell and
Smedley companies as hosts, marking the
close of a profitable and pleasant occasion.

Only those who made notes were likely
to realize what a large number of varie-
ties of Carnations were gotten together at
Washington. It was while so eMaged
that this scribe overheard the flower
fairies discussing things. Fairies^ are of
the female persuasion, hence their chat-
ter in the show related to personalities.
Not being able to locate them^ no de-
scription of these fairies is possible; one
could only judge their standard by their
thoueht expressions.

"Oh! indeed, yes," exclaimed one,
'TDonald, who comes all the way from
Denver, is truly Matchless. Although he
has a Red Head, which makes him rather
like a Beacon, he is the Laddie for Rosa-
lind, the Cottage Maid."

"He is always up with The Lark, trot-
ting his Lassie around in the Maine Sun-
shine.

"They do say, too, she is quite a Siren,
and that the approach of Spring Glory
will be The Herald for the Happy Day.
He will need to be Resolute with her, for
it's said that she's like Topsy, just
'growed,' but with her Fairy-like com-
plexion she will make an exquisite bride
in Crystal White.

"That she is able to Tiob-nob* with so-
ciety people like Ethel Fisher, Ruth Baur,
and Belle Washburn, proves she is some-
thing of an Enchantress Supreme, and I
can imagine her exclaiming 'Eureka!* over
the capture of the apostle of Democracy."

Tri-State Florists Association

The formation of the Tri-State Florists
Ass'n, embracing the members of the trade
from Western Minnesota, Northern South

Sea Shore Florists Association
of Monmouth County

The Sea Shore Florist Ass'n held its
second annual meeting at Asbury Park,
N. J., Wednesday, Feb. 2. The following
officers were nominated for the ensuing
year : John Kennedy, president ; Fred
Hanan, vice-president; Walter Lindhardt,
Long Branch, N. J., secretary; N. Butter-
bach, corresponding secretary; George
Gregory, treasurer. Executive Commit-
tee: G. Loedemann, Miss Ralstan, Frank
Erbe, Anton Natowsky and Lenis Cheat-
out. After the regular business was over,
a lively discussion followed as to how to
improve the organization and what the
society stands for.

The meetings of this association take
place every first Friday in the month.

A Golden Wedding Celebration

Our portrait is that of Peter D. Barn-
hart, of Los Angeles, Cal., a gentleman
who, for past years, has enlivened these
columns with truthful narratives of Cali-
fornia and its horticultural and florieul-
tural wonders.

Our readers will imdoubtedly be sur-
prised when they look upon Mr. Barn-
hart's youthful face to be informed that
this photograph was sent the editor, to-
gether with an invitation to the cele-
bration of his 50th wedding anniversary,
which is due Feb. 23 next. Mr. Barn-
hart has achieved considerable reputation
as a close observer, a practical worker
and a finished student in the several lines
of which he is a devoted student and,
from his present personal appearance, it
would look as though his 72 years of age
sits so lightly on him that he will roimd
out at least 100 years in full mental and
physical activity. It may be remembered
that Mr. Barnhart has a son, Harry
Barnhart, who is equally well known
throughout the country at large as a
commimity leader of singing.

We beg to assure Mr. Barnhart and his
family that our readers join whole-heart-
edly in congratulating him and his good
wife on this auspicious occasion. His in-

Rosa canina and hybrids have been
evolved, and are used for all Roses. The
special feature of the catalog under no-
tice, however, is that the whole of the
accepted terms, such as Tea H. T. Poly-
antha, etc., etc., have been swept away
and, in their place, three groups, namely.
Climbers, Bush, and Pompon, subdivided
into six classes, have been instituted.

The list, consisting of 1000 varieties, is
arranged in alphabetical order, the season
of flowering, color, name of raiser and date
of introduction being given.

This information is specially valuable,
and particularly so because the parentage
of many sorts is given also.

It is to us a surprising fact that Lady
Hillingdon gained its wonderful color
from Papa Gontier X ilme. Haste.

Apart from the complete catalog, sev-
eral lists of names are given, including
novelties for 1921-1922 (not yet in com-
merce), novelties of 1917-18-19 and 1920,
a list of the best 100 Roses, a complete
list of the N. R. S. gold medal Rosea,
lists of the best exhibition, decorative,
fragrant, pot, buttonhole and town Roses.

The House of Sanders

Under date of Jan. 27 we received
from Sanders, St. Albans, Eng., a letter
containing acknowledgement of the obitu-
ary notice recently published in these
columns, and further stating "The sym-
pathy extended to us from eo many
quarters, the many tokens of affectionate
esteem in which he was held, have been
a very real help to us in our sorrow at
loss of a deeply loved father and the head
of our establishment."

Further notes of the firm contained in
the same letter are to the effect that its
Bruges (Belgium), business has long been
a Societe Anonyme under the Belgian
laws and the same will be carried on as
before.

A. Dimmock, who represented Sanders
in New York for many years, and who
will be remembered by many, is no longer
connected with the house of Sanders, hav-
ing left it some years ago to take over
the European agency of the Yokohama
Nursery Co.

Ture Mellstrom, who followed Mr. Dim-
mock in this city, is now manager of the
Bruges Nurseries, and Walter Gott is at

S resent the grower at the St. Albane
furseries.

The writer of the letter, Fred K.
Sander, concludes, 'TVe are most anxious
to again send a representative to the
United States, but until (if ever), the
embargo on plant importations is removed,
we cannot do so.

Peter D. Barnhart

(See Text)

vitation says, in a modest little comer,
**No presents"; this debars us from send-
ing mm a gift, but it does not debar us
or any of his friends from paying him a
genuine compliment, one of great _ price,
when we express our enduring admiration
for the many wholesome and truthful
stories of California life, with which he
has provided us in the past. Mr. Barn-
hart has the reputation of being a Cali-
fornia booster supreme, but not at the
expense of the truth.

New Ideas in Catalogs

Every once in awhile a new concep-
tion in the way of a trade catalog makes
its appearance, and when such thrust
themselves before us, we feel it our duty
to make special note of them, becausenew
ideas in catalogs have an educational
value to all who receive them.

A list before us bears the title. "Burbage
Roses," and a quotation from "A Winter's
Tale."

You see, sweet maid, we marry,

A gentler scion to the wilder stock,

And make conceive a bark of baser kind^

By bud of nobler race; this is an art which
does mind nature, change it rather, but

The art itself is Nature.

The above quotation suggests something
more than a passing interest in the art
of Rose propagation

The Burbage Nurseries, Hinckley, Eng-
land, which date back to 1773, are some-
thing more than a place where plants are
grown for sale. Some years ago they
were a center of attraction because of the
fact that Major Hurst, a great exponent
of Mendelian breeding, was carrying out
many experiments there. It follows that
special attention should be given to the
question of stocks which play such a big
part in the growth of fruit trees, Roses
and other line^ as are propagated by
grafting or budding. , ^ -,

Since 1908, attention has been devoted
to Rose stocks, and pedigree forms of

Rain to Order

It would appear that at least one man
has mastered the elements by creating
rain or at least, inducing rain to fall
where needed. It is reported that the
United Agricultural Ass'n of Medicine ',
Hat, Alberta, has made a contract with
Chas. M. Hatfield to produce rain be* |
tween May and August next, and will pay
him $4000 an inch.

Hatfield has undertaken to provide thei
needed moisture, which will increase thei
value of the crops by some hundreds of
thousands of dollars.

The record of Mr. Hatfield seems to
bear out his claims. In 1904 when South-i
em California had a record draught, Hat^.
field offered to produce rain.

The Los Angeles City Council accepted
his offer, and promised to pay $1000 iij
18in. of rain fell within five months._ The)
offer was made in the Fall and within thv
stipulated period, IS^^in- of rain fell, and.
Hatfield collected his $1000. '

The following year the South Yuba WaJ
ter Co. reservoirs were almost dry, anc*
Hatfield was given a week to fill them*
He had them overflowing within thai)
period.

The farmers of Stanilaus County, Cal..
being parched, called in Hatfield and is
four months, ll%in. of rain fell. Sin*
above the normal for that period of th
year.

On the Yukon, he made the waters floTr
500 per cent over previous years, to th
delight of the sluice miners.

On this showing, the farmers of A)
berta look like getting all the rain tlie:^i
need.

The Perfect Lawn Fertilizer

Great interest will undoubtedly t
aroused throughout the country by th
announcement of the Rhode Island AjfT'
cultural Experiment Station, reprinted j
the daily press, in regard to _ the di
covery of a fertilizer which, while stimi
la ting the growth of lawn grass, tends t
gradually exterminate weeds.

This material is nothing more nor 1©
than ammonium sulphate, already we
known as a highly satisfactory source *
nitrogen, but one which has heretofpi
taken the second place in most lawn fe
tilizer mixtures, preference having 8
ways been given to nitrate of soda, i
the- result of some 20 years of reseam
according to the statement made by tl]
college, it is found that whereas nitra
of soda continuously used gradually ci
ates an alkaline condition in the s(
which is favorable to the growth of mc
weeds, the use of ammonium flulphai
tends to bring about an acid conditi'
which, although beneficial to various lai
grasses (especially the popular Rho ^
island Bent), is detrimental to the ir
jority of weeds that usually infest lawi

Until we secure first hand infonnati
from the college as to the details of tl
discovery, we are not prepared to CO ,
ment upon it. The first thought that ■ ,
curs to us, however, is whether or not t
result outlined above, while tending
prevent the growth of most weeds, fl
not also bring about the increased aov
of others which thrive in an acid flj
This problem and other features oi '
subject we will hope to discuss at leni
upon hearing from the Rhode Island B ■
tion.

Business this past week has been nor-
mal with a sliuht upward trend. Tulips,
Hyacinths and Narcissi are becoming plen-
tiful.

Lange has some wonderful Freesia, with
'20in. stems.

Kandall has a fine lot of Hippeastrum
tliat make a very attrae'.ive showing, and
c.xeelleut Sweet Peas.

Littlefield is featuring Cineraria at
salable prices.

Lange's two large windows are very
well done, one with specially good Flam-
ingo Tulips, White Lilacs and Pussy
Willows and the other with valentine sug-
gestions; namely, heart shaped boxes con-
taining Violets, colonial uouquets and
other artistic combinations,

Estabrook and Luby are very happy in
their new location and are taking ad-
vantage of their better facilities for
showing their goods.

Easter, of course, is now the main topic
of the growers' conversation. The larger
growers all seem to have Lilies timed
right, and with any kind of bright weather,
heavy forcing will not be necessary.

:irge blocks of Roses, Hydrangeas and

Feb. 7. — The market is very well
supplied with an excellent line of all
kinds of flowers. They meet with fair
demand, and are of excellent quality.
Prices are very much on the decline, which,

saler, but also for the retailer. Present
rates are: American Beauty, $12 to $18

$2 to $12 per 100; Premiers, $2 to $16
per 100; Sweethearts, $2 per 100; White

Edward Brooks, proprietor of T. J.
Johnston Co., Washington st., suffered a
loss of about $1000 in a severe fire which
ruined the building adjoining his, and
caused the death, of five of our local fire-
men.

Colonial Flower Shoppe still continues
being very busy with weddings and
funerals This week it had the large
Nightingale-Makepeace wedding. The
church was banked with palms, the walls
hung in Southern Smilax, while several
hundred Easter Lilies were used at inter-
vals about the altar. Pews were hung
with large bunches of Easter Lilies and
Acacia. The bride carried a large shower
bouquet of Lily-of-the-Valley; the at-
tendants, six in number, carried large
arm bunches of Acacia, Daffodils, Freesia,
Marguerites and lavender Pansies. The
entire house was decorated with palms,
ferns. Southern Smilax and Spring flow-
ers, most prominent among them being
the Acacia.

O'Connor is busy with funeral work.

John Macrae is bringing in some fine
bulb stock, and his Acacia is very fine
this year.

Joseph Koppleman is cutting some ex-
cellent Premier Roses.

Archie C. Akin, secretary of the

Waterbury.; Paul Hubbard and Alex
Ciumnings of Bristol, Conn.; Dawson of

The trade in this section has come in
bunches, while stock in general has been
coming along fair. Still, prices whole-
sale have been high, and it has meant
getting higher prices retail, which, at this
time, should not be. Hartford, in com-
parison, has charged less for flowers than
any other city of its size in New England.
We have had a better grade of stock,
and really, the public has not had any
reason to complain. But we have kickers,
nevertheless.

W. W. Thomson Co. of West Hartford,
Conn., is bringing in some fine Violets
and Sweet Peas.

Coombs the Florist, is showing Carna-
tions like those that made the American
Carnation Society take notice; also some
fine Roses.

deals in anything that sings, crawls, swims
or grows, is showing some fine windows.

Myself! Well, I'm here; will leave it to
the editor to say nice things about me.
I'm still on the job.

Cedar Hill Greenhouses are showing
some good bulbous stock, etc.

Chas. K. Swenson of Elmwood, Conn.,
has sold his establishment which is being
torn down. C. K. will take a much needed
rest, after thirty years.

B. Yannelli & Son of 31 Annawan st.

The writer of these notes always finds
it interesting to visit the florists' stores to
hear from the store folks the pleasures

Hill, the Koseary Florist, is on a visit
to New York. Any new ideas in floral
effect will be noted by this lady artist.

treal Floral Exchange, Ltd., is back from
his annual trip in the West, after mak-
ing a visit to most growers in and aroimd
Toronto. He reports stock has been very
scarce although m the near future it will
be more plentiful. As the demand for Eosea
far exceeds the local supply, we have to
bring them in. Montreal with it3_ 900,-

Lilacs— Old and New

Just as the Holly by reason of its scarlet

berries proclaims Cliristmastide, so the

Lilac, with its fragrant blossoms, tells us

Spring is here

EDWIN MATTHEWS

PERHAPS in all the long list of flowering shrubs
at our disposal there are none more intimately
known to the general public than the Lilacs. We
will go still further and say that of every one hundred
order lists for shrubs received by the nurserymen, Lilacs
will be included in 90 per cent of them.

; What is it about the Lilac that

[keeps it in the front rank of much

I used and hence quick selling shrubs ?
Is it not because of early associa-
tions when, in that old-fashioned
garden of our mother or grand-
mother, it was invariably found.
The wonderfully large sized clumps
and the prodigious quantities of

. liowers with their fragrance made

; a lasting impression imtil, like one's

■ religion, it became part and parcel

jof us.

Deutzia, Philadclphus and many other beautiful things.

Foremost in all forcing list of shrubs, are the hybrid
Lilacs, the loss of which would be keaily felt by all
florists.

Not so well known are some of the other species of
Lilacs. In fact, the general public as a whole knows
no Lilacs after Syringa vulgaris and its garden varie-
ties are through blooming. There are, however, quite
a number of good things which should be praised and
more often presented to the public. The free use of the
following kinds will lengthen out the Lilac blooming
period over months instead of weeks.

Just about a week later than the common Lilac, comes
into flower the Persian species, Persica, with its white
and darker flowered forms. Following these will ap-
pear the Hungarian Lilac, Syringa Josikcca with its

Apart from this, the plant's own

merits have undoubtedly secured
for it a permanent place in the
hearts of Western civilization. The
best landscape gardeners have not
■ been sparing in the use of them, nor
have the public parks and gardens
I in Europe and this country failed
.to give them prominence in all
\ plantings. In the public parks at
Rochester and the Arnold Arbore-
! turn at Boston we are shown the
, true value of Lilacs as single speci-
1 mens. Flanking main thorough-
fares, and planted far apart so that
i each one has an individuality of its
; own these wonderful flowering
1 plants are much admired.
i An effort is being made to carry
i out this thought in Fairmount Park,
: Philadelphia, and we predict a much
more intense interest on the part of
the public as a result of featuring
some favorite or otherwise beauti-
ful plant along the frequented road-
ways and paths.

Prominent among the members of
the Lilac family are the old-fashioned pvirple type.
Syringa vulgaris and its many named hybrids. Some
', nurserymen's catalogs list as many as two dozen named
! double and single flowered kinds, with colors from
: purest white to a crimson purple. Noteworthy amorig
[them are the following, which should be represented in
every extensive planting of Lilacs : Frau Bertha Dam-
imaiui, single, pure white; Madame Abel Chatenay,
.double, white; Mme. Lemoine, double, pure white;
I Marie Legraye, single, white; Princess Alexander, sin-
jgle, white; Charles X, single, reddish purple; Insignis
I rubra, single, purplish red ; Lamarck, double, pale lilac ;
Michael Buchner, double, pale lilac ; President Grevy,
double, blue ; President Loubet, double, bright crim-
son purple ; Rubra de Marley, purplish red ; Congo,
I single, wine red ; Souvenir Ludwig Spaeth, single, pur-
' plish red ; President Fallieres, pale lilac pink.

Some of the old well-known favorites are noted in
this list, such as Charles X, Marie Legraye, Ludwig
Spaeth, and Mme. Lemoine. 'The newer ones, like Presi-
dent Fallieres and President Poincare, may have larger
; inflorescence and individual flowers, yet they give no
' sweeter or as sweet perfume as those old favorites
i which, for years, have meted out beauty and fragrance
: in .Lilac time.

Viewing the above list it is quite apparent that a
5 number of them are of French origin. Lemoine, that
J peer among hybridists, has worked with skill among
? the Lilacs and other known shrubs as well, giving to
! the world many wonderful improved forms. The nur-
i seryman and the florist alike are indebted to his untir-
i ing efforts — both making good use of hybrid Lilac,

Syringa persica Persian Lilac

From 4 to 6 ft. high, with small foliage and bright purple flowers "Just about a week later than the Common Lilac
comes into flower this Persian species, with its white and darker flowered forms."

large panicles of pale lavender flowers held erect on its
upright growth, while Syringa mllosa, Himalayan Lilac,
Syringa villosa Emodi, and Syringa villosa Bret-
schneider, are three others of this class which bloom
during the month of June. Closing the season in July
comes along Syringa japonica, Tree Lilac, with its im-
mense panicles of creamy white flowers, which the aver-
age layman would not at all suppose to be a Lilac so
different is it from the old-fashioned one, both in habit
of growth, flowers and foliage.

Those of us who have seen the common hedge Privet
bloom will, however, readily see the resemblance to it
in the individual flower as well as in the strong and not
really agreeable perfume that it gives. Of similar habit,
but not so strong a grower, is Syringa pekinensis.
It flowers about the same time as japonica, bears large
trusses of white flowers and like it, has that strong
odor. Both of these last named Lilacs could well be
used for planting as single specimens, for they attain
considerable height and size at maturity.

Before plant importation was debarred, both florist
and nurseryman secured their quota of named Lilacs
from European growers, and there is no gainsaying the
fact that sturdy well budded plants were invariably
received. This prohibition should not, however, work
any hardship on us, for propagation is easily effected by
hardwood cuttings, or layering, or grafting on the conv-
mon Lilac. The California Privet has also been used
as a stock for grafting, but this is not to be recom-
mended, since suckering so readily occurs and before
one is aware of it the strength of the Lilac is diverted
to a strong growth of the stock.

Lilacs on their own roots are much more desirable,
we think, since it eliminates entirely that danger and
hence engenders the restful spirit which should be the
chief part of a garden.

This does not mean that Lilacs do not require watch-
ful care for along with the majority of plants they have
their peculiar ills and pests. Foremost of the insect
pests which Lilacs are addicted to, is the Oyster shell
scale. This enemy of plant health seems to delight in
many of the members of the order OleaceJe, for we
often find infestations on the Ash, Forsythia, Chionan-
thus. Privet, and Jasmine.

Spray with an oil solution in good strength during
the Winter, and again in June after the leaves are some-
what hardened. The formula for the latter spraying
should only be about half the strength of the dormant
spray, since it is the young brood
we are seeking to destroy without
unduly damaging the leafage of the
plant.

Another enemy is the woodborer
which insidiously works much dam-
age before we may be aware of its
presence. A sure sign of its activi-
ties is manifested in the weak ap-
pearance of the plant, the leaves
being only half the normal size and
the flower heads small and flaccid.
Cut out all badly infested growths
and treat others as one would the
Peach Borer, painting the woimds
with a paint having a proportion of
creosote in it. Where the growth
has become riddled it is best to cut
the plant down or dig it up and
burn it.

A transient ailment that invari-
ably affects all Lilacs in the Fall is
mildew. This varies in its persis-
tency according to weather condi-
tions and the location in which the
plants are growing. While it some-
what mars the good appearance of
the foliage for a few weeks it
works no material injury to the
plants.

Independent of where, as grow-
ers, we plant them on the nursery.
Lilacs delight in a rather open and
stony soil. Low and moist condi-
tions foster strong sterile growth,
while a situation that is well
drained, exposed to full sunlight
and a soil that is not too rich, will
produce the short jointed growth,
and a profusion of plump flower buds.
Keep the pruning knife away from Lilacs except to
relieve congested inner growth, or to shorten some
growth that has become lanky. Do a little of this kind
of pruning every year and the result will be well formed
bushes with the flowers well disposed over the entire
surface of the plant and well within the range of our
vision.

Notes on Nursery Grown Christmas Trees

Many nurserymen, and even some florists, are taking
up the planting of waste land to Christmas trees.

Relative to the value of nursery grown trees vs. forest
collected ones, H. S. Day, of Fremont, Ohio, said re-
cently in Columbus, that the florists of Fremont sold
approximately 300 trees at Christmas time a few years
ago, but that since he has been growing these trees in
his nursery it is almost impossible to sell the forest
trees. He sold 1200 trees this year.

Mr. Day says further that the forest tree, though
taller, does not have the quality nor the symmetry, its
needles do not hold as long, nor is it as bright a green.
For nursery purposes, the Norway Spruce is most used
as it is rapid in growth and makes a good-looking tree.
The Douglas and the Colorado Blue Spruces are also
used.

A prominent grower of Christmas trees has figured

that 4000 trees may be planted per acre and marketed

in about eight years to sell for $3000. Two thousand

trees can usually be marketed after five years, 1500 the

The Merchants Association of New York, of which
the firm publishing The Florists' Exchange is a mem-
ber, recently received a request asking it to take a vote
among its employees in regard to Daylight Saving. The
vote was as follows — For Daylight Saving, 77; against
it, 1. Total number of votes cast 78.

"Any business act which nets one friend and one
enerny is a bad proposition," says Fred C. Kelly in The
Nation's Btisincss for Feb. 1931. "For the enemy can
accomplish more harm as a knocker than the friend can
do good as a press agent or booster."

Moreover, we might add, much as we dislike to ac-
knowledge it, the enemy is usually much more ready to
knock than the friend is to boost. Why? — Ask us some-
thing easy.

A Redwood grove has recently been purchased by
Dr. J. C. Phillips of Wenham, Mass., and has been dedi-
cated as a memorial to Col. Raynal C. Boiling of the
U. S. Air Service, first American officer of high rank
to give his life in the World War. The deed will be
given to the "Save the Redwoods League," the grove to
be held by 'that association imtil it is made public prop-
erty and assured of being preserved for the generations
to come.

The grove is situated about 50 miles from Eureka,
Calif., and the new State highway passes through it.

"The world," they say. "stands aside for the man who
knows whither he is going." Good. But how can a
man know whither he is going without knowing where
he is starting from? And that means knowing whether
he is making money or losing week by week and month
by month, and why. And tlmt, in turn, requires a care-
ful system of records, of cost accounting, of business
transactions and so forth — in short, a modern, scientific
method of recording and analyzing a business. Have
you such a method in operation in your establishment —
or are you oneof the aimless wanderers who are con-
stantly being elbowed out of the way by men who see
their goals in the distance and who are "on their way?"

One Day's Work

How Iiong Does It Take Ton to Do It?

Here's another slant on the Sunday closing idea. It
is suggested by a paragraph in The Nation's Business
for Feb. 19S1 which says :

"I used to know a man who worked longer hours than any-
body else in town. All his friends thought he must be a wonder-
ful executive. He returned to his office every night after
dinner. But the reason he worked such long hours was not be-
cause he was a good executive, but rather because he was a
woefully poor one. He had to make up for lack of ability and
lack of system by putting in more hours. All day long he
hemmed, and hawed, and procrastinated, and frittered away
valuable time instead of flying at his tasks and getting them done.

"The reason he wasted so much time was because he knew
he was going to return to the office at night. He postponed
important decisions until night. Nothing seems to place a brake
on a man's capacity for quick judgment, like working unneces-
sarily long hours."

Now just put that on a weekly basis as it apnlies to
your business. Do you tend to dawdle along for six
days because you know you'll have a more or less quiet
Sunday — even though you do keep open — in which to
catch up with your work?

If so, wouldn't it be a lot more satisfactory if you
dug in a little harder and did that six days' work inside
of six days, and then shut your shop door and locked
it and kept it locked for a day while you freshened up
your body and spirit with other interests?
^ And don't you think you would gain dignity and pres-
tige in the eyes of your friends and business associates
if they saw that you were able to finish a day's work at
the end of a day, and a week's work at the end of a
week?

I do.

Eighth International Flower Show

Attention is drawn to the announcement in another
column. Secretary Young states that space is fast being
booked up ; intending exhibitors therefore should not
delay in making their entries.

Special note should be made of the corrections and
additions regarding classes and dates of staging. These
corrections should be added to the final schedule other-
wise exhibitors in such classes may find themselves out
of their reckoning. Write these corrections on your
schedule now.

From the date of this issue (Feb. 12) to the opening
date of the Great Show (March 14) is but thirty days.

Elsewhere in these columns we are told of progress
to date. Nowhere in this country, in 1921, will be staged
an exhibition at all equal to this particular New York
Flower Show.

The Florists' Exchange, because of its limitations
as a trade paper, cannot speak to the multitude at large
so it's needless to say what it would do on behalf of the
show were it able to reach the masses, but it can say a
word or two to the trade dependent on New York to a
great e.xtent for its daily flower sales.

This is your show, each and every one of you. Its
success means your success. So just in the measure in
which you assist will you be rewarded.

How can you help it to success?

None so poor but that he can make it known to his
customers and friends. Through his own enthusiasm
he can enthuse others and thus help swell the attendance
and the gate receipts.

He can buy trade tickets of admission, and both sell
and give them away.

Scores^ of growers can add to its success through
an exhibition of some foliage or flowering plants in the
growing of which he considers himself an expert. The
smaller growers are apt to believe that they are not
wanted as exhibitors. This is .a mistake; entries of
small exhibits have provision made for them. And hosts
of visitors will appreciate a particularly well grown
Geranium or other familiar plant they recognize in
preference to some rare stove plant which to them
means nothing special. "A little of this, and a little of
that," will leaven the entire show for them, and they
will come away satisfied to have seen something they
recognized and could talk about.

That's why the every day familiar flowers will be
welcomed. So screw up your courage and make an
entry — now.

The F. H. B. Concession

In another column is printed a letter from Dr. C. L.
Marlatt, chairman of the F. H. B., in which the an-
nouncement is made of the concession brought about
through a conference held with a committee from the
Ornamental Growers Association, by which, until June
1, 1922, permission is given under the terms of permit
form 207 to import Rhododendron ponticum and Azalea
pontica seedlings to be used as stocks for grafting.

This concession will meet with the commendation of
all. Just how much of these stocks is to be found in
Europe at this time, after growers there han^e been dis-
couraged for nearly three years, is problematical. We
hope, however, that sufficient material will be found to
supply American needs. This concession, too, should
have considerable influence in the market in the way of
perhaps reducing the high price at which Rhododen-
drons here are now being held. It certainly will have an
effect on the future of that supply provided always the
required hundreds of thousands of stocks for grafting
are to be obtained.

To embargo the finished product and the raw material
as well, has seldom hitherto been resorted to by any
nation, except possibly as a war measure or in retalia-
tion. We note with regret that Dr. Marlatt makes the
statement that this concession must not be taken as a
precedent for demands of similar entry of seedlings or
lining out stocks of other ornamentals, as nurserymen
tell us there are many other raw materials without
which they cannot even try to produce items in com-
merce formerly imported from foreign countries.

National Flower Growers' Association and the
Publicity Campaign

On page 310 of our issue, dated Feb. 5, we published
extracts from the report as submitted by the Publicitv
Committee to the S. A. F. and O. H. Board of D-rec-
tors in session at Washinsfton, and later, to the National
Flower Growers Association meeting in the same city.

Both bodies accepted the report and the recommenda-
tions therein as the most equitable plan for collecting of
funds to carry on the publicity campaign, although the
N. F. G. A. Committee suggested certain reservations

as recorded on page 311. Without repeating what has
already been published, we think this report may be
elaborated upon.

In presenting the suggested plan, the Publicity Com-
mittee emphasized the need for subscribers to the fund
to continue payment of all pledges promptly. Until the
new plan is more generally adopted, the committee must
largely rely upon individual subscriptions to carry on
the campaign.

It may be further added that before submitting the
repoTt at the meeting of the N. F. G. A., Secretary
J. F. Ammann, as one of the members of the Publicity
Committee, made a supplementary address, given in
part herewith.

We do not claim this plan will be perfect. Neither
do we want it understood that the work as started and
ca.rried on the past three years will cease unless the
above plan is adopted. What the committee is really
striving for is to rebuild on a new plan with a better
foundation so further additions may be added without
danger to the original structure.

The committee has, of course, made mistakes. Why
not? It is only those who do things who make mis-
takes, but as a whole, good judgm'ent has prevailed. We
have had much valuable advice from among the mem-
bership of the S. A. F. at large, and the able council of
the officers, besides having at all times at least some'
members on the committee who understood the game of
advertising thoroughly by reason of their own personal
activity in the same.

Personally, I have been in this work for two years;
first as ex-officio member of the committee by virtue
of my office as president of the society for one year,
and the last year a member of the committee by ap-
pointment. During this time, I believe I can frankly
state that I have made a careful study of the situation
as it exists in the various communities and I have come
to the firm conclusion that there is a prevailing senti-
ment most everywhere in favor of the allied trade plan
for cooperative advertising.

It is by far the most equitable plan that has yet been
tried not only in our own trade but in that of many
others, and based upon the percentage as recommended
in this report, a vast sum could be raised with very
little effort and no sacrifice on the part of anyone. For
after all, the total investment by all the combined
branches of our trade in advertising would be less than-
3 per cent on the volume of business done and this
would include both local and national cooperative ad-
vertising. This, gentlemen, I feel sure you will all
agree, is an insignificantly small sum as compared to
what other lines of business are investing in advertis-
ing; so therefore, the plan is equitable; it is reasonable,
and it is workable beyond any question of doubt. * * *
According to the latest report from Bradstreet 84
per cent of the commercial failures last year were firms
that did not advertise. We can no longer, gentlemen,
afford to stay out of the educational program for this
nation. Our wares are a part of the products that
make for better homes, better lives, better citizens, and
higher ideals, and so I feel that it is not only our duty
to_ continue our campaign for publicity, but we must
with all earnestness and determination strive to increase'
and multiply it. * * *

Be it little or much that you win on earth.
Let it have the stamp of your own good worth;
Be able to say of each treasure fine,
I have worked for this and the thing is mine.
Be willing to toil and be willing to give
And honor shall follow you while you live.
For there's none so mean on this globe as he
Who looks to another to pay his fee.
The opening passages of the Publicity Committee's
report, too. afford interesting reading, and we give them
herewith :

We have just closed the third year of the work of •
carrying on national advertising, and as you are aware,
are now entering upon the last year of our original I
four year subscription pledges, after which all of the
first year individual pledges will have to be renewed, or
some other plan devised for raising a fund to further
carry on this -work. There are yet, of course, quite a
number of individual subscriptions made later on this
same plan that will continue in effect at least tmtil some
other plan is devised and adopted. So far this plan has
served its purpose well, even though not so equitably
as it should; it has proved quite successful in spite of
precedents tp fte contrary.

Iri the fhree years just past, the total amount of
$131,056!68 has been collected and of this sum $113,-
361.91 has been paid out for advertising space in such
rr-"az'rtes as the

Saturday Evening Post, Collier's Weekly, American Maga-
zine, Century, Scribner's, Munsey's, Everybody's, Lifet
Hearst, Judge, Scientific American, Atlantic Monthly, Liter-
ary Digest, Review of Reviews, Outlook, Harper's, "World's
Work, Sunset^ Independent, Red Book, Metropolitan, Mc-
Lean's Magazine, Leslie's, Argosy,

and the balance, $17,694.77, has been expended for
office work and all other expense in carrying on the
campaign. These figures show that about S6'A per cent
of this entire sum has been spent in actual advertising

The Florists' Exchange

and about 13'. i per cent spent in the entire manaRiMUent
of the campaign, Tliese figures are not ^iven by tlie
committee for their own glorification but ratlier for tlie
subscribers' information and against unjust criticism.

We believe tliere is no longer a doubt in the minds of
any memlier of the S. A. F. and O. II. as to the value
of national advertising. There can be no doubt that
the effects of this campaign are being manifested, from
the way our wonderful slogan. "Say it with Flowers"
is beinn displayed everywhere and the great benefit it
has been to the trade.

Now, the question arises, "Are we to retrench or press
on for still greater achievements?"

Your committee has given the matter of a more equi-
table and just plan for collecting the funds for future
work much consideration and we must confess with a
great deal of apprehension. However, since the first
movement of organizing allied trade associations for
the purpose of carrying on local cooperative advertising,
We liave watched carefully its progress and while there
are as yet only a few cities working on this plan, it has
proven very successful in every instance. We have come
to the conclusion that it is the one equitable plan through
which each individual and every branch of the trade
justly bears its proportionate share of the expense.

We are not unmindful of the fact, also, that by all
the laws of merchandising and by many precedents al-
ready at hand, the producer is, and primarily should be,
the national advertiser of his product, which in our
case, it would be, of course, the growers. Now, since
the growers in every city where local cooperative adver-
tising is being carried out on the percentage plan
through the allied trade associations, are contributing
members of these associations, we deem it perfectly
right and proper that a certain per cent of such funds
collected be put into national advertising as is being al-
ready done by some of these allied trade associations.

The recommendations as published in our last issue
make up the balance of the report.

Plant Growing in California

The following extracts from a letter recently re-
ceived from a plant-loving friend now resident in Cali-
fornia, will, we think, paint an interesting picture for
the information of those in other sections who think
that they are struggling against all the worst problems
of horticulture. For ourselves, we find it far from un-
satisfactory— even if difficult at times — to "sit in the
editorial chair" here in New York, but perhaps that is
because our work deals with plants and all their sooth-
ing, inspiring influences. Again, we have our occa-
sional honors of real horticultural labor in the good
brown earth — and they, too, help, immeasurably.

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

It must be a difficult task, and often unsatisfactory to
sir in the editorial chair in New York, and direct the
issue of a number of a paper dealing with sights, sub-
jects, and territorial differences, all gathered from pic-
tures.

There is the same old story in the case of any East-
em man who comes here, even with a lifetime of
preparation to take up work. I have had 25 years of
gardening now, and believe me, this past one has kept
me busier asking questions and getting posted on
strange plants, than any one of the years past. Plants
are more fussy here, too, than in the East where it is
only a question if they are hardy. Here, apart from
the requisite moisture, there are alkaline conditions to
fight, even on the hilltops where the salts crop out by
seepage. Here, too, in Santa Barbara, the Rhododen-
drons, Azaleas, Ericas and allied genera are unavailable
owing to the lime in our mountain water supply. We
have also to consider shade ; and, while the trade winds
blow in off the Pacific for the six Summer months, so
that we are always cool (rarely up to 90 deg. and then
for an hour or so), nevertheless, the sun's rays will
readily burn many subjects; in fact, any plants if just
brought out from the lath shade.

However, taking it all in all, gardening here is as
nearly a pleasure as we will find on earth. There are
more kinds of gardeners here, too, than assemble in
any other locality. If you could sit — in place of the
writer — in the chair at any one of our meetings (the
privilege would willingly be given you), there would
not be an uninteresting minute for you.

It may be taken for granted that our address will
not be changed; henceforth our Autumn and Winter
will be spent here where are to be seen so many — one
might say all — the plants that can be grown, often so
luxuriant as to be unrecognizable, or perhaps coming
up out of many trials and much tribulation.

They have seen fit to give me charge of the Parks
here; this and the presidency of the Horticultural So-
ciety are honors enough for one man, for we have a
real live organization. E. O. Oepet.

Chicago Florists Club t

The meeting, novelty flower show and dance of the
Chicago Florists Club, held at the Randolph Hotel, Feb.
3, attracted a considerable number.

A short business session preceded the special program
provided for the evening. The meeting was called to
order by President Kohout, with the following officers
present: A. T. Pyfer, vice-president; A. H. Schneider,
treasurer ; F, Lau tens chl age r, secretary ; August F.
Poehlmann, trustee.

Upon motion duly seconded, the reading of the min-
utes was dispensed with.

The following candidates were elected to membership :
F. R. Kilner, managing editor, Florists' Review, 508 S.
Dearborn St., Chicago, 111. A. F. Thai, advertising,
Lakeside Building, Chicago, 111.

Garden Committee Discontinued

James Morton, chairman of 'the garden committee,
submitted a report stating that there appeared to be no
need of the committee for the coming year, in view of
the fact that this work is now being carried out on a
national scale by the National Garden Bureau, of which
Leonard Vaughan. a member of our club, is chairman.
Under the circumstances, a resolution was adopted that
the garden committee be discontinued, according to the
wishes of Mr. Morton.

Report of Gonunittee on Pres. Kohout's
Inaugural^Address

This committee approves President Kohout's desire to
bring the local trade organizations closer together so
that they may accomplish their various objects with
greater harmony and economy. The committee recom-
mends that the trustees of the Chicago Florists Club be
requested to confer with the executives of the other
trade bodies, and outline a plan of reorganization, such
plan then to be submitted to the members of the Chi-
cago Florists Club for their approval.

A. C. Nellis

A. C. Nellis, for several years past employed at Max
bohlings seed store, as a store salesman, died on
Wednesday, Jan. 26, of pneumonia which followed an
operation which he had undergone recently in the
Flower Hospital, New York City. The funeral services
were held on Saturday, Jan. 29, at St. Simon's Church,
Staten Island. Mr. Nellis was well known in the seed
trade, havmg been connected with it many years past,
and his knowledge of the business was extensive. He
filled the first two contracts for the free distribution of
seeds made by the United States Government. ; He is
survived by a widow, five sons and two daughters.

Max M. Smith

Ma.x M. Smith, a well-known retired florist of Port-
land, Ore., died at his home, 872 Sandy blvd.;''late
luesday night, Fet). 1. Mr. Smith had been in the
wholesale and retail flower business in Portland for
33 years and until his retirement last year, owned the
Smith Flower Shop (Tom Luke, mgr.) at 141^ Sixth
St., which IS still flourishing. He was a member of the
Rose City and Laurelhurst Clubs, and until his retire-
ment, a member of the Rotary Club.

Mr. Smith was bom in Robinsburg, Germany, in 1866,
and came to America when 17 years old. After remain-
ing in the East three years, he came to Portland.
Prior to the buying of a flower shop on Third St. eight
years ago, he had been in the wholesale floral business
with greenhouses at 28th st. and Sandy blvd. Six years
ago he moved his shop to its present location.

Mr. Smith is survived by his widow and a daughter,
Helen E. Smith. The funeral was held at the Finley
chapel. jj N.

Thomas Boothe de Forest

At the Dobbs Ferry Hospital, Dobbs Ferry, N Y
Thomas Boothe de Forest, secretary of the 'Lord &
Burnhara Co., Irvington. N. Y., died Feb. 6, after an
illness of about four weeks. Mr. deForest had always
enjoyed good health up to the time of his recent illness.
His death was due to blood poisoning resulting froni
ulcers of the stomach.

He finished his education at Stevens Institute and
about 15 years ago entered the employ of Lord & Burn-
ham Co. Starting as a draftsman, he worked his way
up by successive steps and at the time of' his death was
secretary of the company as well as sales manager.

He was widely known throughout the country by gar-
deners, growers, and many men of prominence in the
business world were his staunch friends and customers

About five years ago Mr. deForest married the daugh-
ter of W. A. Burnham, who survives him, together with
three children. He also leaves a mother and sister.

The funeral took place from the residence of Mr.
Bumham on Feb. 8 at 2.15. It was largely attended by
many of his wide circle of friends.

John P. Mallon

John P. Mallon died suddenly of heart disease at his
home, 125 St. Mark's ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., at 3.30
o'clock, Sunday morning, Feb. 6. He was in his six-
tieth year.

Mr. Mallon on Saturday, Feb. 5, went to the altar
with his daughter. Miss Marie Mallon, in St. Augus-
tine's Church, Brooklyn, at 10.30 a.m., when Miss Mal-
lon became Mrs. Alphonse Ring. After the ceremony
he received the guests at his home. Late in the after-
noon Mr. Mallon was persuaded to retire and rest; he
consented, but still received his guests in his room. At
2.30 a.m. Sunday morning he passed away because, as
his physician expressed it, "The engine had stopped."

John P. Mallon was the only surviving member of the
original firm of James Mallon & Sons, retail florists,
with stores at the comer of Fulton st. and Willoughby
ave., and at 20 Smith st., Brooklyn, a business estab-
lished by his father, James Mallon, at Fulton st. and
Willoughby awe., 64 years ago. After the death of his
father he and his brother Joseph, who died six years
ago, took over the business.

Mr. Mallon was for many years president of the
Juanita Club and an active member of the Pauraonok
Club; also of Fort Greene Council No. 1048, Royal
Arcanum.

The funeral was held on Wednesday, Feb. 9, at the
St. Augustine Church, with a requiem mass. The inter-
ment was at the Holy Cross Cemetery. Mr. Mallon is
survived by his wife, Mrs. Rose Feeley Mallon, a son,
Harry C. Mallon, a daughter, Mrs. Alphonse Ring, and
a sister, Mrs. W. A. Pigot.

John Michelson entertained the members at the meet-

which was of great interest to every one. There being
no further matters up for consideration, the members
adjourned to attend the dance.

The Dance

The dance was a great success. Over 200 were pres-
ent. The young folks were prominent, and it was the
sentiment of everyone that these affairs be repeated.
The music was furnished by Mowshine's Orchestra.

Along about the middle of the evening, Hartje &
Elder of Indianapolis, announced that they desired their
new Carnation distributed to the ladies. Poehlmann
Bros, distributed a number of their Carnations and
orchid blooms. R. J. Windier distributed a number of
corsage bouquets which were made up with some of his
famous sprays of White Buddleia and Sweet Peas. It
was gratifying to note the pleasure evinced by the re-
cipients of the exhibition blooms. Practically every
gentleman present wore a boutonniere, and some very
fine corsage bouquets were worn by the ladies.

Visitors included Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kuehne, Lake
Forest, III.; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Blackman, Evansville,
Ind. ; Mr. Elder and J. Rieman, Indianapolis, Ind.

Doing a Thing Well

The educational value of flower shows, even to the
commercial grower, is freely recognized but, as only a
small proportion of those handling plants commercially,
make a point of attending shows regularly, the remain-
der, if they desire to keep in the van of progress, are
almost wholly dependent upon what is published re-
garding exhibitions, new plants, and growers of such.

Next to seeing a show with one's own eyes, a report
by one who possesses both writing ability and horticul-
tural knowledge is the best alternative.

We may perhaps be pardoned for drawing attention
to our extensive report of the Carnation convention as
published in oiur last issue. By its perusal, those of
our readers who were not present at Washington can
conjure up a fairly accurate mental picture both of the
show and the business sessions. If you are a Carnation
grower you will have read and enjoyed it; if you are
a Rose or plant grower the report should nevertheless
interest you, as it relates to flowers and growers of
such.

There is nothing dry nor machine-like about it — it is
just the complete story as compiled by a reporter who
saw things with a practical man's eyes. Turn to it now
and read it ; its equal we know not of.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society

The Massachusetts Horticultural Society has arranged

In connection with the much talked of and highly
important subject of forest conservation, the raising of
Christmas trees by nurserymen is of considerable in-
terest. The annual harvesting of thousands of young
wild, forest trees with no provision for their replace-
ment is simply a phase of the destructive, wasteful pol-
icy that has put so many of our natural resources in
jeopardy.

If Christmas tree growing can be put on the basis
of constructive agriculture — whether by nurserymen, flo-
rists or others — ^it will be a big advance and a splendid
thing for American horticulture. The question is, can
it be made to pay imder such conditions? Assuming
plenty of rough, waste land, that can be planted in
eight or mort blocks, so that annual crops of trees can
be harvested in regular succession, and new plantings
made as soon as old ones are cut off, we can see the
possibility of excellent returns. But will a return of
$2000 per acre at the end of eight years (from the
planting of seedlings presumably) appeal to the average
man who must use land of average nursery quality and
location ?

This is an interesting field for discussion. What do
our readers think — both those who may have raised
Christmas trees, and those who have thought about it
but never tried it?

In the afternoon the following questions were dis-
cussed.

1. How can we guard against over production of easily and
quickly grown varieties? M. L. Cabs.

2. What is the best and cheapest material a nurseryman can
grow for baling purposes? Does the Sudan ^asa solve the
problem? Habby Kyli,

3. Does it pay to handle a long list of varieties?

J. S. BnsTov.

4. How to get the best co-operation with your foreman.

H. BOWDBH.

5. How is the best way to handle credits in the nursery
business? J. Jbhkins.

6. Will prices in the future justify paying wages for skilled
labor in our line as in other lines? A. R. Pickett.

7. Where is the future supply of our Norway Maple to come
from? Is there any successful way of producing them in this
country? Clahence Siebenthaleb.

8. Shall good price standard be maintained, or shall we get
right back to the old methods of throat cutting as soon as the
supply of stock is increased? T. J. DlNsuoBX.

9. Can prices be too high for the good of the trade ia
general? Robebt Geobgb.

The election of officers for the coming year resulted
in the selection of the following :

President — Charles Ernst, Eaton, O.

Vice-President— P. L. Byers, Clyde, O.

Secretary — Clarence Siebenthaler, Dayton.

Treasurer- A. R. Pickett, Clyde, O.

Executive Committee — ^W. F. Bohlender, Tippecanoe
City, O. ; Robert George, Painesville, O.; W. B. Cole,
Painesville, O.; H. S. Day, Fremont, O.; W. N. Scarff,
New Carlisle, O.

It was decided to raise the annual dues to $5 a year
to defray the expenses of the Farmers' Week exhibit
and any other educational work which the executive
committee deems worth while.

A Membership Committee will solicit all nurserymea
in the State for membership in the Association.

A theater party was held at Keith's in the evening,

Ohio Nurserymen's Association Meets

The Ohio Nurserymen's Association met in Columbus,
O., Feb. 3, at the New Southern Hotel. President W. F.
Bohlender was in the chair and called for the reading
of the minutes of the last meeting by Secretary W. N.
Scarff. The president's address was in the form of a
pleasant chat upon the status of the nursery business in
Ohio. Mr. Dayton, who next spoke, made a valuable
suggestion that the Association hold a rather extensive
exhibit at the next Farmers' Week at Ohio State Uni-
versity. At this point the question was discussed and it
was finally decided to leave plans for such an exhibit in
the hands of the executive committee. They were in-
structed to arrange a display that shall point out to
farmers the difference in the various grades, the char-
acteristics of the different varieties as seen in the nur-
sery row and the best varieties to grow. They were
further instructed to arrange for a farmers' week
speaker.

H. S. Day spoke on nursery grown Christmas trees
vs. forest grown trees. He brought out the fact that
nursery trees were more uniform and were in every
way better than those collected from the wild.

Some Nurserymen Appreciate The Exchange

"You are always giving us publicity, now what can
we do for you? Is there not something that a live
wire set of men can do to assist the men who are push.^
ing our business and who are keeping us posted on our
activities." This is the substance of a letter received I
from the secretary of one of the leading State Nur-
serymen's Associations of the country. Unnecessary
almost to add that it is extremely gratifying to the
publishers of The Exchange to feel that its services'
are so well appreciated in that quarter. Some of our
nurserymen readers may be interested to know the
nature of our reply to this most kindly letter — here it '
is, in part ;

"First of all you can all pray for a reduction to nor-
mal of the price of white paper as, when that time
comes, we can give the nurserymen of the coimtry far
better service. Years of planning to that end have
simply been swept by the beards because today we have
to raise $1000 for white paper where, up to 1916 even,
$330 would have bought the same quantity.

"The high price of labor we will have to put up with,
I fear, for a long time to come; still that labor is effi-
cient and has a right to live.

"Just as vital to our keeping above water is required
the hearty cpoperation of the nvirserymen in the way,
not only of subscribing for The Exchange, but of read-
ing it and using it as an advertising medium. If more
nurserymen patronized our advertising columns more
nurserymen would be doing more business than they are
today.

"Our great ambition in life is to make of the nursery-
men, florists and seedsmen a homogeneous whole, each
industry working together for the common good of all."

Disposition of the S. A. F. Permanent Fund

Prominent Members of the Trade Express Their Thoughts. The Question is
Now Open for Discussion. Wide Divergence of Opinion Shown.

^-^HAT we struck a really significant note, and one
close to the interests of the trade, in calling for
a discussion of The Exchange's suggested plan
i' the utilization of the Permanent Fund has been
pivcd by the many letters that have reached and are
rching us. Indeed, we have tapped a spring of ideas
al opinions that has supplied us with matter worth
r ding faster than we can publish it. However, as
ig as interest is shown in the subject, and as long as
1 re is a chance of bringing about some decisive ac-
tn, we will devote space to the discussion.

Kn exceptionally interesting feature is the response
fim educational sources, that is from members and
aociates of the S. A. F, who are instructors in the
a-icultural colleges of the country or in close touch
\[h their work.

rVhoever read the report, in a previous issue, of the
reting of the New England Nurserymen's Associa-
tn, will probably be struck by the close connection of
sne of the opinions there expressed with the possi-
tities that have been pointed out in some of the letters
c the S. A. F. matter. If, as seems generally accepted,
E apprentice system is the best means of learning the
rrsery business, certainly it is equally adapted to the
fining of fiorists; nor need it in any way lessen the
sf-respect of any one following it.

\ slightly different note is struck by Mr. McHutchi-
si in the letter published below, but here at least, are
<Snite, specific propositions and suggestions — and it is
fun just such "99 per cent viable" seed that plants
id fruits of real value are going to develop as the
c-cussion proceeds.

^>t One, But Several Schools Would Be
; Needed to Do the Work

I have laid aside for several days your letter referring
t the article in your issue of Dec. 11, entitled, "A Plan
I: the Future of the Permanent Fund," expecting that
;thought or suggestion might come to mind, but at
lesent I am still not in a position to suggest a purpose
r which this fund should be assigned.
.Your idea, to establish a horticultural school or col-
ire, does not altogether appeal to me, as it would re-
fire several of these institutions scattered throughout
!5 United States, if the entire territory were to be
Inefited along the lines suggested. Furthermore, it
)uld require considerably more money than the So-
i;ty has accumulated up to this time.
Unquestionably there will come a time when it will
necessary for the Society to utilize its reserve or a
rtion of it for a useful purpose. But I believe con-
ierable thought should be given to any intended proj-
't before making a start.

I hope that, through your article, many good sug-
stions will be forthcoming and that the Society's Per-
anent Fund will continue to increase to a sufficient
nount to enable it to do some big things.

Shake Off the Bureaucratic Restrictions
1 Which at Present Retard Horticulture,
( Then Increase Production, Then
Increase Consumption"

The plan outlined in the Dec. 11th issue of The Flo-
STs' Exchange to use part of the $50,000 S. A. F.
irmanent Fund to promote scholarships shows consider-
ile thought and study of the subject, but, in my opinion,
'ily the actual operation of the plan would decide its
»lue to horticulture. The following questions present
eraselves.

1. Who would decide upon the eligibility of candidates
ir the scholarships? Would not the acceptance of
me and the rejection of others create charges of fa-
iritism with resultant dissension?

2. Wouldn't such students on graduation swell the
inks of the employers rather than of the employees? Of
lurse this would increase S. A. F. revenue through mem-
:rships, but wouldn't it give some beginners an un-
nr advantage over others?

3. Assuming the students became employees, who would
;cide which firm was to have the advantage of their
:rvices until they were self-supporting?

1 j^ 'I's student on graduation became an employee, he
■ould hardly be self-supporting for some years, and if
e became an employer his capital would be fully em-
loyed for some years. What chance would the S. A. F.

That some such use should be made of the Perma-

nent Fund as suggested by the writer of your article is
evident, but I think the remedy for the present lack of
trained men lies with the trade. Let employers pay good
wages to their trained men and so attract apprentices
willing and anxious to learn the profession. Considering
the responsibility taken and the experience required,
trained growers should get as good wages as trained me-
chanics. Do they get it?

It seems to me that the Permanent Fund has grown
large because the S. A. F. has not always used the
funds necessary to protect the trade and its members
from inj ustices. I suggest the following uses as a contra-
proposition :

A. Use part of the fund for the employment of legal
talent to release the strangle hold which the Federal
Horticultural Board now has on United States horti-
culture. Insist that at least a majority of the Board be
practical horticulturists, then have S. A. F. committees
cooperate with the Board so that items necessary to the
future development of horticulture be let in without the
present burdensome and expensive restrictions.

B. Then (and not till then) use a substantial part of
the Perrnanent Fund to support the present publicity cam-
paign with the object of increasing the consumption of
flowers and plants and all products of S. A. F. members.

So long as five bureau chiefs in Washington have the
right and power and disposition to ignore combined trade
protests and to throttle the future development of hor-
ticulture as at present (even though they are well-
meaning, honest, elHcient men) I cannot see a secure
future for the employment of capital or labor in the
science of horticulture in the United States. Shake off the
bureaucratic restrictions which at present retard horticul-
ture, then increase production, then increase consump-
tion. J. McHuTCHisoN, New York, N. Y.

"The Right Idea, But By No Means Big
Enough"

I read with interest your plan for the future of the
Permanent Fund of the S. A. F. and O. H., and I
think your ideas run in the right direction, but are by
no means big enough.

In my opinion, not a cent of the Permanent Fimd
should be spent now. In the $50,000 now accumulated
the Society has the meatis of creating a National insti-
tution, which shall in the future become its greatest as-
set for the advancement of horticulture. Let the sum of
the fund increase and accumulate for a hundred years,
and dedicate it to the founding, at the end of that time,
of the William Robertson Smith Memorial Institution
for Horticultural Education in the District of Colimibia.
This institution should consist of a garden of ample
acreage (100 acres at least) with suitable . greenhouses
and buildings for instruction and study, and also for the
accommodation of students. Not over one-third of the
accrued fund should be expended on the garden and
buildings, the balance (two-thirds or more) being set
aside for an endowment fimd to carry on the work.

By adopting this plan I believe we shall best solve two
problems now confronting the Society, namely, a suitable
memorial for William Robertson Smith, and the worthy
use of the Permanent Fund.

It is Good to Know that We May Yet Have a
"Knoble Prize," as Well as a "Noble Prize"

Columbus, Jan. 28, 1921.

I was greatly interested in your editorial headed, "A
Fund for Floricultural Education." It is gratifying to
those who are connected with the teaching of floricul-
ture to know that the commercial interests are awaken-
ing to realize that education and investigation along
the lines of flower growing will be successful only when
backed by the florists. The value of such work de-
pends entirely upon their support. Mr. Knoble has made
a worth-while proposal and many other florists will do
likewise when this matter has been brought to their
attention.

We all know that most of the diseases which infest
our florist crops are without scientific methods for
control. There are too many guesses as to the proper
control. Yet ithe fruit grower now can find out exactly
what to do for his crop diseases. Why have the plant
disease specialists been partial to the fruit interests?
Because the fruit men agitated the question while the
florist has not manifested his wants to the experiment
stations. Of course, few experiment stations are at
present fitted to carry out long and conclusive experi-
ments, again because 6'hT big florist business has not

demanded that they should be. The best way to de-
mand that tliesc problems be solved is to place men
with scholarships for this work in the experiment sta-
tions. They will be the florists' men and the florists
will take a personal interest in furnishing them with the
best information and assistance.

The florist has criticized the experiment station re-
ports because they often contain elaborate descriptions
of diseases and insects, but fail to add a practical con-
trol. This is unfair, fur the florist has not made his
wants known nor demanded appropriations for a com-
plete solution of these problems.

My present remarks have mostly related to diseases
of plants, but the problems which need solution are
many— so numerous that the teaching of floriculture is
today largely the recounting of opinions of practical
men, and these opinions are diverse. The thread of
scientific facts that run through our trade papers is
very slender; this, however, is not the fault of the
trade papers, for they are giving the best uptodate in-
formation available. The trade paper is the Bible of
the young student of floriculture. Progressive florists
are more and more realizing the great lack of specific
knowledge as to their soil, fertilizer, cultural and pest
problems. Men such as Mr. Knoble, whose business is
to sell flowers, not to solve problems, want to place
the business on a fact basis.

The departments of floriculture of the various col-
leges in the United States are deeply interested in this
suggestion. It is gratifying to know that we may have
in prospect a "Knoble prize" as well as a "Nobel prize."

Floricultural Lectures at Cornell

Prof. E. A. White of Cornell is certainly deserving
of the highest encouragement in the work which he is
doing on behalf of his students in the Dept. of Floricul-
ture in both the regular and short courses of the various
semesters, it being ever his object to obtain men from
trade in the matter of making addresses before the stu-
dents and thus hewing the courses up to practical lines.

New York State florists should be only too glad to
assist Prof. White in his educational endeavors because
it is beyond question that the men who leave Cornell to
go out into the world of floricultural endeavor are doing
well their part, wherever they locate.

The lectures given by practical florists to the regular
and short course students in the Department of Flori-
culture during the past semester have been especially
valuable. The lecturers were E. G. Hill, Richmond,
Ind., on "Roses"; John E. Lager, Summit N. J., on
'Orchids"; S. S. Pennock, Philadelphia, Pa., "Whole-
saling Flowers and Plants"; H. P. Knoble, Cleveland,
O., "Retailing." The viewpoint Oi such practical men
gives the students an insight into the business of flori-
culture that they can get in no other way, and the splen-
did spirit of cooperation shown by the florists in the
educational work is appreciated by the college.

Farmers' Week is from Feb; 14 to 18 when the fol-
lowing lectures and demonstrations will be given by the
Department of Floriculture. There will also be an ex-
hibit of the students' work in arrangement of plant bas-
kets, corsages, bridal and other bouquets, and table
decorations, given on the 16th and 17th, tmder the direc-
tion of E. A. Slattery of W. J. Palmer & Son, Buffalo,
N. Y. Owing to the fact that Farmers' Week so nearly
approaches St. Valentine's Day, there will be no meeting
of the New York Federation of Horticultural Societies
and Floral Clubs, but a cordial invitation is extended
to all florists to come to Cornell and enjoy the lectures
given not alone by the Department pf Floriculture but
by all other departments in the college.

0 keep the flower business in the rank in which
t has been placed in the past few years.

It seems that many of us have been inclined to
hink that energy is no longer necessary and that
lie business will roll on just the same, withotit
in>- special effort. I say this because I admit
lucli to be the case with myself.

It is impossible to make a satisfactory recom-

ind growers to be more considerate with each
jther for their mutual benefit.

You are opening a way for them and I hope
;hat you will continue on in the same strain in
ivhich you have started.

Thanking you on behalf of the F. T. D. and

Progress

By MAX SCHLING

|3ur Dreams Becoming. Realities

WHOSOEVER thought a few years ago
that the florists would organize for the
betterment of the business was considered

.1 dreamer. In later years those dreams have
become a reality and every day brings us retail-
a-s further on the way to progress. Incidentally,
those who thought that, through the organization

■ Df retailers, the allied trades would suffer, were
wrong. The closer up the retailer organizes the
better off is the grower, the supply dealer, the
middle man, and everyone else. A sound organi-
zation should itake care of both supply and dis-
tribution of merchandise. On otu- way to prog-
ress there is bound to be more or less disagree-
ment or dissatisfaction with methods. An old
saying, "All roads lead to Rome," will justify the
different methods we will have to use if we try

fto be just and accomplish what we set out to do,
and the results will justify our action.

. Increase the Purchasing Wants of the Public

The general aim should be at all times to increase
the purchasing wants of the public. This would be a
gain to us florists as well as to the allied trades. If we

; seek to gain we must give something in return. If we
ivant the public to purchase liberally in larger quanti-
ties and more frequently we have to give them a fair
return for the money they pay us in addition to good

. service.

During the last two years business was brisk. Every-
body earned money easily and spent it accordingly.
Openings for earners were more than could be filled
and even incompetent people earned a good sajarj'.
There was no one without work and in consequence
everybody was a spender. Times are changing. What
was the case a year ago is no longer so. Our business
has to keep up. We cannot let it decrease. There is
no standing still in active life, we have to push ahead
always. When we stop we do not stand still but gradu-
allywe fall back. No one of us can afford that. We
retailers must go ahead as well as the growers. The
grower has to increase the value of his output, not only

I in quantity but also in quality, , either through efficiency
or by disposing of everything he can grojv ; neither the

A Sprinsr Basket

Made up with Murillo Tulips and double Von Sion Daffodils, this small,
brown basket decorated with pink ribbon is decidedly effective. A more free
use^of Daffodil foliage would, however, improve it.

Prices should be Based on Actual Cost of Production

In some cases in the past two years our channels of
supply were not what they should have been. The goods
we sell have to be worth the price we ask; this price
should always be based on the actual cost of produc-
tion. Unfortunately there have lately been instances in
which this was not the case with our supply. What
exists locally may exist everywhere. The location may
be different but conditions are the same. In one place
it might be one item and in another place another item.
Speaking on conditions in general I am -taking example
from our local market. If it is one flower here which
is sold at times at an imaginary value it may be an-
other flower in another city, but knowing the market,
knowing the cost of production of flowers, I believe I
can talk intelligently about the price it should obtain on
its disposal to customers.

We take for instance Jonquils — common ordinary
Trumpet Jonquils — of which the best quality bulbs cost
$32 to $36 a thousand, and which will produce approxi-
mately 1500 flowers. For Christmas it would have
given a good return to the growers if they sold for $1
or $1.25 per dozen, and it would have been a fair return
to a retailer to sell such material for, $2 to $3 . per

dozen, considering that he includes a
liberal amount of good green with
the flowers.

In New York the price was not
based on the cost of production when
a wholesaler who handled this par-

ticular stock assumed that he was the

only one who had Jonquils for sale.

A couple of florists were foolish
enough to pay $3, and to try to sell the Jonquils for
$4 per dozen. Customers were frightened away by
the price, and if they did buy them for sentiment's
sake they were not at all satisfied with their pur-
chase. Will they again willingly go into a flower
shop to purchase a novelty?

How many customers are frightened off from pur-
chasinjj flowers, or how many of them are decreas-
ing their purchases just on account of such unreason-
able and unfair price on the part of the producer or
dealer? W^e do not want to try to sell at retail at
higher than fair retail prices, and flowers should not
be sold to us at anything but wholesale prices. We want
to continue advising the people to "Say it with
Flowers," but if flowers are sold to us on a whole-
sale scale at retail prices we will be forced to
advertise not "Say it with Flowers," but "Say it
with Dollars," and the result will be a decrease
in business, which will also affect our allied
trades.

A'Clean and Healthy Market a Necessity

The retail florists are organizing all over the
country. The growers are teaching and assisting
them to organize, and they continue to do so
because only through the combined efforts of
growers and retailers can a clean and healthy
market be created which will be of help to both.
Fortunately there are but a few who apply the
old saying of "making hay while the sun shines,"
but they do this so greedily that they take roots
and all, thereby destroying the ground which pro-
duces the hay and killing the haymaking for the
future. These actions are becoming more and
more ancient history because every merchant is
aware that they cannot be applied in a successful
and growing business, that we have to have one
price for all, and that we have to give value for
what we receive; if we do not one or the other
article in our merchandise will suffer.

A proof of this is the Violet market in New
York City. The demand for Violets decreased
in the past few months because of the unreason-
able demands made for them during the Yale-
Princeton and Yale-Harvard games, when the
price asked for Violets at wholesale was $3.50, $4,
and $4.50. The retailer who had taken orders in
advance for corsages had to pay what he was
asked because he had to fill his orders. He could
not tell his customers that the Violets were driven
high up in price by speculation. . However, from
that time on, instead of supporting the man who
had Violets to sell he was forced to offer cor-
sages of other material which were a profit to
him instead of being a loss. Being in immediate
contact with the public he was in a position to
offer them something priceworthy that would do
the same service as Violets. How much effort
will it require to bring the Violets back where
they should be?

Who is it who tries to play with the future of
the retailer, grower and wholesaler? Perhaps a
speculator or two who has only the interest of
today at heart and does not care for tomorrow.
If we are not careful the same will happen with
other varieties of flowers. Quarantine 37 is an
excuse to some, but it is a fair excuse only in sections
of the country where it is difficult to secure flowers,
due to the expense of delivery, or where loss in ship-
ping warrants a high price; it is not an adequate ex-
cuse in markets accessible to growers as in the large
centers.

Adjustment In Grades and Prices is Necessary

New methods in business are necessary to strengthen
the confidence of the public in the man who supplies
them with their needs. Our biggest ciistomer, the F. T.
D., demands adjustment and equality in grades_ and
prices as closely as the difference in climatic conditions
of the many States of the Union and Canada will allow.

Grading Roses by Set Lengths

To date Roses are graded in some States as No. 1,
No. 2 and short. The No. 1 are the longest stems. No.
2 are the medium stems, and short are Roses generally
used for table decorations, etc. Other States class the
short stem grades No. 1 and No. 2, and long stem
grades they call extras, fancies, specials or extra spe-
cials. This should not be. Grades should be alike all

over the States and Canada. The growers
should have like measures and like names
or nimibers for the different lengths and
quality of flowers, and the grower should
not be tempted when in his part of the
country the weather is dark and Koses
open slowly, to believe himself justified
in mixing short Roses among the long
ones, or an inferior quality among good
ones. The time is not far away when we
will have a standard scale of grades.
Roses will run by numbers, such as Nos.
12, 18, 24 and 36, and the number will
signify the length of stem by inches. A
new grade will be created which will
combine all of the_ poor quality and weak
stemmed Roses, irrespective of length,
which will sell at a lower price than the
No. 12.

The time is near that when we buy red
Roses for $50 or $60 per 100 at Christmas
or any other time, we will be able to sell
them as they run and not have a loss of
25 to 35 per cent. We retailers will not
enforce this. The new growers' associa-
tion will see to it. They will establish
healthy commonsense rules which are so
necessary to a soimd business. They will
stabilize, not the price, but the grades of
flowers, and the stock of the grower who
adheres strictly to the rules will have
preference. The Growers' Association
will impart knowledge to tLose who don't
know, and will increase the efficiency of
those who have knowledge. The Growers
Association will conamercialize our busi-
ness and steady the market.

The Advantages of Cooperation

Some people aver we have too many
associations. We have really only one,
the Society of American Florists, tnat is
the mother. Out of the S. A. F. grew
the F. T. D., the first born. The second, the
National Growers Association, is young
blood, and because of that it is growing
fast enough to keep step with the F. T.
D. Both will work in unison and both
will appreciate that in union lies strength.
As it IS only a question of time when
every good florist will be a member of
the F. T. D., so it is only a question of
time when every grower will be a member
of the Growers Association. Our future
progress has an exemplar in the Fruit
Growers Association. It was thought
absolutely impossible that the fruit grow-
ers could organize, still they managed to
do so. It happened in the past, I do
not know where, when a barrel was filled
with fruit, to place a stove pipe of lib-
eral width in the middle of a barrel
which was filled with defective fruit.
After the sides had been all filled with
good fruit, the pipe was pulled out and
a layer of good fruit placed on top. This
cannot happen any more because the
Fruit Growers Association appreciates the
fact that clean good stock strengthens the
market and brings better returns, while
the retailer is willing to pay a fairer
price for fruit which is all of good quality
and all sellable. He can charge a fairer
price because he is not forced to pay for
.fruit which he could not sell to his cus-

Growers do not put a stovepipe in every

enough in grading their stock. Short or
weak stemmed Roses are foxmd among
the long stemmed perfect stock, more of-
ten than should be, and it will come to
pass with our growers the same as hap-
pened with the fruit dealers. After sta-

the quality, they will help us retailers to

increase their own, and closer cooperation

How Much Are You Worth?

By NELSON COON

Everywhere throughout the country to-
day the business minds of the coimtry are
interested in financial reports, inventories
and facts and figu>res relative to the in-
come tax. In studying the hard, cold
figures which represent the business of
1920 there is one item not on the books
which is apt to escape attention. It is
that intangible asset Imown as "Goodwill."

Unless you purchased your business
from some one, and were obliged to buy
his goodwill, there shoiild be no entries
on your books showing goodwill. And, in
fact, the best accoimting authorities ad-
vise the laying aside of a definite amount
yearly imtil the purchase price of good-
will has been duplicated in a reserve fund.
For, surely, we cannot pay ourselves profits
out of our estimated Goodwill, and one
bad move on our part will destroy this
item entirely.

But just because Goodwill does not or
should not appear on our books it does
not mean that we should ignore its value
or fail to consider its status. It is the
one most important thing that we cannot
be without. If you have had a poor year,
financially, it may yet be that you have
been successful in building up your clien-
tele and that the year of 1921 promises
well. If you feel downhearted, just ask
yourself how much you would sell your
Goodwill for, and you will quickly real-
ize that you are not as near bankrupt as
you thought yourself. Stores like the
Woolworth Co. place their Goodwill at
many millions of dollars, as do also the
Ivory Soap people and hundreds of others.

If, when you ask yourself the value of
your Goodwill, and your answer does not
satisfy you, then something is wrong, in-
deed, and you should consider plans for
^>uilding up your clientele and the market
ralue of yourself. Most corporations in-
sure their officers to protect themselves
against the loss of their valued execu-
tives. How, then, can you build up your
Goodwill? First, by Service. Every cus-
tomer that comes into your shop should
go out feeling that you have done a serv-
ice. You can create this feeling by putting
"pep" into your selling — selling yourself.
If a customer hag confidence in YOtj, it
doesn't make so much difference about
what you sell him. For instance, Mr.
Jones comes in and wants a bunch of Vio-
lets, which you haven't got. If you say

A Brand New Departure

Retail Florists' Advertising Service

Provides you with a well bound and hand-
somely printed Bulletin every two months,
containing striking cuts, especially drawn for
your own use by leading artists, accompanied
by appropriate text matter.

You make your own selection of any of the
cuts illustrated in the Bulletin, thus accom-
modating the use of the Service to your
own convenience, and advertising from time

to time any of the ideas fpresented in the
Service.

Our purpose in making this change is to
simplify the Service so that you will get just
what you want when you want it, and by keeping
the Bulletins in your letter file you can refer
to them at any time you are using the Service,
and order any cut that you may require from
any of the Bulletins.

To date the Advertising Service has I. sen most successful.
This change has been brought about because we want to
make it still more successful and convenient for our patrons.

One of the oldest of the subscribers for our Advertising Service is William C. Gloeckner ol Albany, N. Y. In a
recent letter Mr. Gloeckner says: "Our Rotary magazine, The Rolarian, arrived yesterday and I took it home last
night to look it over. After dinner I got out the old pipe and prepared to take things easy for the evening, I first
picked up the Albany Evening Journal, and on page two, right up in the corner, noticed the enclosed ad. (Mr. Gloeck-
ner's own). After the Journal was

disposed of, I picked up Tlie
Rotarian, and there was your ad.
again. I think it is quite a compli-
ment to your Service to have
Frank Jennings, the advertising
manager of The Rotarian, use your
cut above all that he has to pick
from, and I have no doubt but what
he would be willing to have you use
this in advertising your Service.''

Answering a Serious Question

A Partial Reply by "The Ex-
change*' to an Inquirer Who
Is Thinking of Opening a
Flo-wer Shop in One of Onr
Big Cities

After discussing the proposed location
and its possibilities, we said:

"It has always seemed to us that about
the first of October is the most favor-
able time to open a new retail flower
shop, the store equipments being installed
during the last part of September. If you
should open at that time you would have
the entire active business season, including
every holiday, before you, and would,
when July came, be better able to pull
through the dull Summer season.

"Finally, if you have only a limited
capital, you should consider the question
from all viewpoints before engaging in the
retail business at this time, though I
firmly believe that such a business, well
located, and wisely and energetically con-
ducted, has a reasonably good future.

"Why not sit do^vn at your desk and es-
timate what your expenses would be each
month, and how much business you will
have to do each month to have the gross

"We all have business dreams, but they
do not always materialize, simply because
they are ours and dear to us. We should
submit such dreams to a careful analysis
and subject them to the searchlight of
cold judgment. Under such a test we
often find that they cannot possibly come
true."

Oommercial Plant Propagation

An exposition of the art and science of increasing plants as practiced by the nurseryman, florist and gardener

By ALFRED C. HOTTES, Assistant Professor of Horticulture, Ohio State University
We appreciate the privilege which has been given us to be the publishers of COMMERCIAL PLANT PROPAGATION, than
which no more essential book for all who love plants has ever been produced. Its appeal to every one who has to do with seeds and
plants, and the broad information which it contains on the subject of propagation, should enable every owner of a copy to save time,
conserve energy and make money, all three desiderata of the highest potentiality in these days.

The fact that this book was prepared primarily for the trade establishes its standing and the authenticity of its teachings.
On the other hand it is so free from technicalities that the veriest beginner ■will have no difficulty in foUowng its instructions.

Herewith one page from the '*Index of Plant Names." To
obtain an idea of the number of subjects listed, we would
mention that this index occupies over six pages of closely
set type just like that which follows:

S. HANFLING CO,

131-133 W. 28th St., NEW YORK

San Francisco, Calif.

Feb. 3. — The February meeting of the
Pacific Coast Horticultural Society has
been postponed from Feb. 5 to Feb. 12
in order to make it possible for the mem-
bers to attend a banquet being given by
the San Francisco Retail Florists Ass'n.
This banquet is the first social gathering
of the newly formed florists' association,
whose ambitious activities at this moment
are the talk of the local trade.

At the meeting of the Pacific Coast
Horticultural Society on Feb. 12 Harry
Warburton is to speak on "Ericas." His
knowledge of the subject and the grow-
ing interest in Ericas, entitle the lec-
ture to a good attendance.

Reports were made in the daily papers
of a tew days ago that the Northern Cali-
fornia Hotel Men's Association, through
its attorney, Albert I. Loeb, had filed a
protest with the Board of Supervisors, op-
posing the action of the San Francisco Re-
tail Florists Ass'n in requesting its mem-
bers to close on Sundays. The action of
the Northern California Hotel Men's Ass'n
was directed toward the flower stands in
the hotels, which closing they opposed.
The report of this action, however, have
been strongly denied; as a matter of fact,
the records of the Board of Supervisors
show no such protest. The flower stands
of two of the three leading hotels of the
city have remained closed during the past
two weeks. J. R. W.

She Lunches With The Florists'
Exchange

Bessie Boston (Mrs. Elizabeth Wedg-
wood Lymbery) of the Bessie Boston
Dahlia Farm, San Mateo, Calif., in writ-
ing us of the story concerning her life,
published by us in our issue of Dec. 4
last, says something about The Exchange
which we feel we must share with our
readers; not but that lots of nice things
are said about our paper, but because this
testimonial of hers is so much out of the
ordinar,y.

This is one of the complimentary things
she writes: "The Exchange and 'I 'lunch
together' once a week. I prop you up
against the water pitcher (alas no" longer
a wine bottle ! ) and read you from cover to
cover. Of course my business in life is
that of growing Dahlias, but I have a
dream of a real garden of flowers some
day, so cram my head with your useful
information."

Heating Greenhouses

I have two greenhouses, 50ft.sl6ft., Oft
at ridge and 5ft. at sides, two of whicj:
are glass, the others of wood.

I have a Richardson hot water boilei

251-T., 30 lbs., open system, and 15 lbs.

closed. How shall I pipe these kouset

to keep a night temperature of 60 deg!

E. S. A., MasB.

— I figure that the two greenhouses yoi
describe have each equivalent to aboul
1170 sq. ft. of exposed glass surface, anc
to maintain a temperature of from 55 t(
60 degrees at night, when mercury outsidf
is at zero, would each require 390 sq. ft
of radiation. The No. 251 Eichardsor
hot-water boiler you have, I understand
is a round sectional boiler with a grat(
25in. in diameter. This boiler would b(
working to its full capacity to heat thest
two houses.

If your boiler is placed in a cellar deej
enough so that all pipes can be placet
under the benches, and you desire to us*
the li^in. pipe you have on hand, I woulc
carry a 2i/^in. flow and return from boilei
to the end of house nearest to boiler,
and connect to these mains 16 lines ol
li^in- pipe in each house; arranged eighl
flows and eight returns, distributed tc
suit the arrangement of the benches. '

Should you not be able to excavate th*
cellar deep enough so that all pipe coulc
be under the benches, carry the S^Ain
overhead flow main to end of each houst,
furthest from boiler and there connect tc
14 lines of l^in. pipe under the benches;
see that the highest point of the maim
or coils are air vented. i

Of course, you will require an expan '
eion tank, which should be placed at leas*!
2ft. above the highest point of the heat-
ing system, and a valve should be iplacec
on the flow connection to each coil foi
control of temperature.

The 30 lbs. open system means thai
the expansion tank has an open vent, or
in other words, no safety valve on tht
tank, and the expansion tank placed at t
height that would exert not more thai
30^ lbs. hydrostatic pressure on the
boiler. The 15 lbs. closed system meani
that when a safety valve is placed on tht
expansion tank, it must not be set at morr
than 15 lbs. J. N. McArthub.

under the name of "Bulis."
Not a man has been re-

Florist Boxes

While the firm name
has changed, the
name of our florist-
boxes remains the
sam£ — Bidis Florist-
Boxes. These boxes
come to you knocked
down flat and oc-
cupy little space.
They may be re-
shipped many times.
The comers of the
covers dasp like a
glove and hold tight.
The sides of the
boxes are held in
position by "fish-
hook " fasteners,
while being filled.
No glue or tools
needed. Write "Gay-
lord" for prices.

Well-filled warehouses con-
taining boxes in stock sizes,
and our location at the
Terminal Yards in St.
Louis, the commercial cen-
ter of the country, make
"Gaylord" the logical head-
quarters for corrugated
boxes. Let "Gaylord" fig-
ure on your requirements

Tie Market

Feb. 8. — The arrivals of almost all
staple and many miscellaneous flowers are
larger today than they were at this time
last week and to the miscellaneous class
Jnay be added a considerable supply of
blooming shrubs such as flowering Peach,
Forsj-thia, etc. The demand since our last
review of the market, according to unani-
mous report, has been slow and is so today,
'Tuesday.

American Beauty and in fact all variet-
ies of red Roses are in short supply. Spe-
cial^ grade Beauty are selling at SI to
§1.50 each and the other grades at cor-
responding prices. Other Roses, top
grade blooms, are selling at 8c. to 25c.
each in general, but Hadleys of this grade
are realizing 60c., Keys, 75c.; Russells,
35c..: Premier, 40c. ISTo. 2 grade blooms are
selling at $i to $S per 100.

Carnations are moving out slowly; select
.grade blooms go at S4 to §5 with occasional
sales at .?6, and the other grades at §2 to
S3 per 100. Cattleya orchids are going
slowly at 20c. to 35c. each with occasional
sales of some extra choice blooms at 40e.
to 50c. Gardenias are in much shorter
supply and are bringing S3 to S9 per doz.
Lily of the Valley, select grade blooms, is
meeting with a medium demand at .S6 to
SS per 100, the lower grades selling at
S2 to §3. The market is fairly deluged
-with white Lilies, which are with diffi-
culty realizing .SIO to §15 per 100; there
are large accumulations.

All of the large arrivals of bulbous stock
-are moving out in a painfully slow way.
(-alias at §2 to S3 per doz.; Freesias at
55c. to 35c. per doz.; extra choice at oOc;
1 aperwhite Xarcissus at 50c. to OOc per
bunch, Soleil d'Or at 75c., single Daffodils
.at 30c. to 40c., and Tulips at 35c. to 50c
per bunch, with occasional sales of some
extra choice at 75c.

The list of miscellaneous flowers in-
cludes Acacia at .S3 to S4, Antirrhinum at
M to S3, Bouvardia at SI to S1.50, Budd-
leia at 50c. to SI, Calendula at 35c. to 75c
Lilac at S2 to S2.50, Mignonette at 50c
■to SI, ilyosotis, 35c. to 50c., Primula at
2oc. to 35c., Stocks at 50c. and Wallflow-
ers at 2oc. to 35c., all per bunch. Also
Daisies at S2 to S4, Pansies at 82 to S3
Sweet Peas at SI to S3, double Violets at
SOe. to 7oc. and singles at 40c. to 60c
all per 100. The supply of these miscella-
neous flowers IS in large excess of the
present demand.

All greei^, both indoor grown and
hardy, are feeling the depression in the
cut flower market and are moving ac-
cordingly. *

The Florists Clnb

„ Thf regular monthly meeting of the
New York Florists Club will be held in
T?-^ Jj-ngineering Society's Building, 25-33
VV . 39th St., on Monday evening, Feb 14
at 7.30 pju. * '

Zxliibits

, ., . . Isidore Fight, chairman of the Ex-
hibition Committee, requests that the
members of the club assist the commit-
tee in making a laudable exhibition of
seasonable cut flowers and plants of both
novelties and standard varieties. Ex-
hibits should be addressed to I. Fight,
chairman, c/o Roman J. Irwin, 43 W
18th St., N. Y. City, and should be sent
in tune to reach him not later than 5 p.m.
the day of the meeting, so that arrange-
ments may be made to stage them prop-
erly in the meeting room.

Ladles' Night

Chairman Peter Gerlaird of the
House and Entertainment Committee says
that the committee has made complete ar-

rangements for the second annual recep-
tion and dance of the club. Members are
urged to be on hand with their ladies.
Proposed members are especially invited.
Extra guests may be invited by members
at the cost of SI each. There will be
plenty of music and an abundance of re-
freshments and certainly a most enjoy-
able evening for all; you should not miss
it; just send word at once on the postal
which you received, to the chairman of
the committee saying that you will be
present, and stating the number of ladies
whom you will have with you.

Annual Banquet or Dinner Dance

Roman J. Irwin, chairman, calls
your attention to the announcement mail-
ed to club members of the annual ban-
quet to be held March 16. The chairman
will give full particulars at the meeting
of the club on Feb. 14.

The Eighth International Flower
Sho^v

Final arrangements have been com-
pleted for the Eighth International Flow-
er Show, and the final schedule has been
sent out. Extra copies may be obtained
by application to the Secretary. The
management inquires as to whether you
are using the poster stamps. You cer-
tainly should do so, because through the
liberal use of these you will help to make
the show a success. A limited quantity
of these poster stamps can still be ob-
tained by 'phoning Vanlerbilt, 5850, or
writing to F. W. Payne, President Inter-
national Exposition Co., Grand Central
Palace, N". Y. City. All members of the
club in good standing will receive season
tickets for the show.

A. special form (or trade) ticket will
be issued through the ofiice of the Inter-
nation Exposition Co., upon the following
terms; Where no less than 20 up to
100 are purchased at one time, the price
per ticket will be 50c. For orders of 100
or more tickets, purchased at one time,
the rate is 40c. each, war tax included.
These trade tickets must be paid for when
received. Rebate will be made on all
tickets not used, which are bought in lots
of 100 or more. Send in your order for
tickets now.

Entertainment and Ball by Greek-
American Florists Association,
Inc.

The fourteenth annual entertainment
and ball of the Greek American Florists
Ass'n, Inc., -will be held at the Hotel Com-
modore; 42d St. and Lexington ave., on
Wednesday, March 2. A high class vaude-
ville show will commence at 8.30 pjn.,
after which will come the ball. Tickets
may be purchased from James Soteriades,
secretary of the association, whose office is
at 260 Third ave. Geo. Rondiris is chair-
man of the committee of arrangements.
The entertainment and ball of this asso-
ciation has always been one of the red
letter events of the season in the florists'
trade and, no doubt, the occasion will be
equally delightful this year.

While making one of our regular calls
recently on the Henshaw Floral Co., we
were greatly impressed with the amount
of business this company is doing with
retail florists in the adjuncts of the line.
The large variety of lustre ware that this
company is selling has evidently become
quite popular in a short time. 'This ware
has that artistic finish and beauty which
would make it not out of place in Tif-
fany's windows. The prices, however, are
so reasonable that the retail florists are
finding it a popular line to handle in ad-
dition to its value of adding attractiveness
to their stores.

We are informed that the owners of
the building in which the 18th st. whole-
sale florists are housed have, upon the
request of the Interchurch movement of
North America, allowed them to terminate
the lease of the quarters which they oc-
cupy therein. We are further informed

HARRY CHARLES, Wholesale Florist

i;nments Solicited

New York City

Volets a Specialty Consignments Solicited

Fhooe; Watkinfl 2260

104 West 28th Street

that the owners of the building would be
willing to lease the main floor, or a large
part of it between that portion occupied
by the wholesale florists and Sixth ave.,
to other wholesale florists, and also would
be willing to make an opening through
from the quarters now occupied by the
wholesale florists into this space, so as to
make one great Xew York City Flower
Market.

Edw, Brenner, who only ten years ago
entered the wholesale florists business as
an errand boy, but is now himself a suc-
cessful wholesale florist, with quarters at
43 W. 18th St., and Miss Ida Black, of
Rockaway Park, L. I., were married on
Sunday, Feb. 6, at the Rockaway Park
Temple. The wedding was a homelike af-
fair, something like 80 invited guests
being present, among these Mr. and Mrs.
Jos. Trepel, Mr. and Mrs Jack Trepel and
Mr. and Mrs. Adam Trepel of Brooklyn,
ilr. and Mrs. Brenner are now on their
honejTnoon trip, during which they will
^-isit some of the popular Winter resorts.

The directors of the Cut Flower Ex-
change, held their regular monthly meet-
ing on Saturday, Feb. 5, at 3 p.m., at
Queensboro Plaza, No. 1, L. I. City; rou-
tine business was transacted.

Harry Charles, the Violet specialist,
who was turned out of his quarters a week
or two ago by fire in the building in which
he was located, and took temporarj'
quarters at Geo. C. Siebrecht's, has now
moved back again into his former quarters
at 104 W. 28th st., temporary repairs of
the building having been made.

Frederick Donohue, an old time florist,
at one time in business at 14th st., later
on Sixth ave., died on Wednesday night,
Feb. 2 and was buried from St. Michael's
Church, at 34th st. and 9th ave., on Feb.
4. Mr. Donohue was a widower and is
survived by one son.

Though the wholesale flower market is
now flooded with Narcissi, there is one
variety, which is in a class by itself,
namely. King Alfred. Some splendid spe-
cimens of blooms of this variety were
noted this week at I. Goldstein's.

Gardenias are becoming somehat scarce,
but John Young & Co. continue to receive
a steady supply of this beautiful flower,
also of orchids and Lily of the Valley.

We noted at J. J. Coan's this week
Beasley's Pansies, which always means
some of the best Pansies that arrive in
the New York cut flower market: also
English Daisies, the first we have seen
this season, and Acacia, and in the
larger flowers. Carnations and Roses of
excellent quality.

Frank Golsner, after waiting fifteen
months from the time his application was
pxit in with the telephone company, is now
rejoicing in the fact hat it has been in-
stalled; his call is Chelsea, 1656.

We noted this week two attractive new
varieties of Narcissi of the Poeticus type
at J. S. Fenrich: also some of the largest
and finest Premier Poses, which we have
seen in the market this year and blooming
boughs of double flowered Peach.

The wholesale flower business of the
late Chas. Millang has been taken over
and will be continued by his widow, Mrs.
Antoinnette Millang.

Ex-President S. A. F. and O. H., A. L.
!Miller wrote us from Miami, Fla., Feb. 1,
that he was amazed at the wonderful
plants to he seen there, among them a
Ficus pandurata some 30ft. high and 30ft.
spread. Mr. Miller says, "This is a won-
derful place and T am enjoying myself
greatly: have good health.''

Allied Florists Trade Ass'n of
New York

On Friday of this week there is to be
held a further meeting to discuss the or-
ganization of all growers in connection
with the formation of the above associa-
tion, the advisabilitj" of advertising, and
other matters.

A. M. Henshaw, ex-president of the N.
Y. Florists Club, under whose auspices the
above movement was started, is now

practically fully restored to health and
most anixous to consummate the project
He finds the growers thoroughly interestec
in the movement and desires to see alj
branches of the trade cooperating and
contributing. Progress to date include;
an agreement on the part of grower;
representing over 3,000,000 sq. ft. ol
glass to contribute their percentage
while both the retail florists" association;
of New York have agree«-. upon the per
centage they are agreeable to pay, witt
quite a number of the members pledged tt
contribute. The plant growers, too, hav(
decided on the amoimt and form of theii
contributions. Then, again, there art
promises of liberal contributions from th(
wholesalers, supply dealers, greenhouse
builders and certain of the seedsmen, tc
contribute just as quickly as the grower
and retailers inaugurate their contribu
tions.

Taking everything into consideration i
does not look as though much more en
evgy will be required to give the bal
the final push that will start it rollini
steadily in the direction of gathering ii
the requisite money necessary to put int(
operation the projects the association i
intended to cover.

Valentme Day Preparations

While looking in at some of the retail
flower stores of New York on Friday o
last week to get a peep at some distinc
tively valentine offerings, either of tb
normal style or novel, we found that w
were a little early in our quest for sue!
display.

When, however, we reached Ma:
Schling's store, 785 Fifth ave., we fourn
an advance display of valentine speciaitie;
beautiful and attractive, but which, w
fear, our words will hardly picture ade
quateb'.

Boxes, mostly rectangular, but som
heart shaped, with lids and metal liners'
and beautifully covered with pure silk i:'
separate colors, red, yellow, pink, bro^t
blue, ombre and white, were filled wit
choice flowers, orchids, Violets, Freesiaf
Acacia, Roses, Primula, ferns, et cetera. ,

Other valentine specialties were Ken
pies, with lace dresses trimmed pre ,
fuseiy with red hearts, carrying red ba.'
] kets filled with flowers; standing liearti
on whose front were Dutch dolls wit i
j bright colored dresses and white caps!
carrying red hearts on their own heartjj
There were bows of red ribbons at thi
apex of the hearts and a small vase ij
the notch filled with flowers and ■wrappel
with red ribbons. Beautiful china war
carts, some drai^-n by horses, others b,
donkeys, were filled with orchids and othe,
choice flowers. i

Please note that this was only an ac
vance display, but it was certainly prettj'
and appropriate for St. Valentine's Da;,

The Market

Feb. 8. — The past week developed
nothing startling. Conditions were in a
transitory period of passing from one of
scarcity to one of great plenty. The sup-
ply in a general way is much improved,
mainly due to the better supply of bulbous
stock and a gradual increase in Carna-
tions. The Rose crops are still short; with
more of these, there would be a level mar-
ket. The wholesalers have attuned them-
selves to the new conditions of heavy de-
mand and full supply that will be realized
before the present week comes to an end.
Valentine's Day price lists are out, and
advance booking is heavy. Inquiries are
numerous, all of which foretell that a
great week of flower selling is at hand.

The situation with regard to Koses is
not satisfactory; there is not enough of
short stock to meet the demand. Those
who want fancy stock at fancy prices can
be supplied at a score or more of the
wholesale shops on the market. They
are just what the customers all are look-
ing for. It is the purchasers wanting a
few hundred shorts for fimeral work or
otherwise, who are up against it.

The Rose growers of the present run to
quality; they desire to realize the splen-
did returns that fancy stock in Premier,
Columbia, Russell and others have been
bringing. They pinch at intervals to bring
long stems and short stock, as a conse-

?uence, is declining in point of production.
n the good old days when KiUarney was
supreme, there was an abundance of short
stock at all seasons and Rose buyers gen-
erally could have their wants more satis-
factorily supplied.

There is a notable change in the quality
of stock coming in at the present time
compared to sis or eight years ago, just
how this change will be accei)ted by the
flower buyers of the present, is a matter
open for further discussion.

Carnations are gradually becoming more

Elentiful, and the quality has assumed the
eight of perfection for the season. They
are bringing from $4 to $6 per 100 with.
Laddie and other fancy varieties, §10 to
§12.

The supply of bulbous stock is more
complete timn anything else on the market.
In Tulips there are the singles, doubles
and Darwins. There are Jonquils, and
Freesia Purity; the colored for socalled
Rainbow varieties also are in. There are
plenty of Paperwhites and some Roman
Hyacinths. It is noted at some of the
stores, that these early Spring flowers
are not moving as well as they did on
their first appearance a year ago. Whether
this can be attributed to the general busi-
ness depression no one will venture a pre-
diction. It is the general understanding
that the present depression is among wage-
earners, not always patrons of the flower
shops, and that it has not yet reached
the ranks of the steady flower buying pub-
lic.

There are plenty of Violets; enough of
Valley; Sweet Peas are in good supply
and rapidly assuming fine quality. Or-
chids are reasonably plentiful and prices
are considerably reduced. There are
enough Easter Lilies and quite a few
Callas. Mignonette, Calendulas and Daisies
are in medium supply. The Stevia crops
are almost off. There is enough of greens
but all moving at a new schedule of prices
brought about by the new express classifi-
cation. Although Lent begins Wednesday
of the present week, it is not regarded
with any apprehension in trade circles.
It has never made much impression for or
against market conditions, and it is be-
lieved the period we are about to enter
into will not in any way affect the mar-
ket for the next forty days of its duration.

Ne^vs Notes and Jottings

H. B. Kennicott, returned Monday
from a visit to Florida, and found much
satisfaction in the way the business of the
home has been conducted by Manager
Pollworth during his absence.

C. Loveridge, Peoria, 111., was up Mon-
day buying Valentine Day supplies. He
Bays business is good in his town. All
the large warehouses and other property
formerly owned by the liquor mtereete
for which this city was noted, are all
hummiag in other lines of industry.

Frank Khehne, Lake Forest, 111., was in
the city Monday and passed out many
invitations to the gardeners smoker and
banquet, to be held in Lake Forest Mon-
day night, Feb 14.

Tom Rogers, who was reported seriously

ill, is back at his old job with the
Weiland-Risch Co., is well and in as
happy a mood as ever.

C. S. Clausen, the well known Gladioli
grower is preparing for a trip to CaU-
fomia. He is going chiefly for pleasure,
but will keep an eye for any novelties he
may find on the Coast that might be of
interest to Chicago growers.

The wholesale cut flower market of Los
Angeles, CaL, is, according to John Michel-
sen, of the E. C. Amling Co., who recently
returned from there, just about like what
it was in Chicago 20 years ago. In other
words, they are 20 years behind.

The growing of all outdoor stock for cut
flowers is mainly in the hands of Jap-
anese growers. The Japs control but
little glass. The prospect in the pahn
growing industry at Montebello and other
points is encouraging. Large quantities
are imder cultivation and promise well.

Allie Zech, of Zech & Man, is
spending several days in New Orleans,
where he went to mingle with the many
customers and friends of his house in that
city. He will remain for the Mardi Gras
celebration on Shrove Tuesday, before re-
turning to Chicago.

Jas. Wilson, Des Moines, la., spent sev-
eral days in the city the past week on
his way back from Washington, D. C.
At the Florists Club meeting on Thurs-
day night last, he acted as judge in the
cut flower section of the exhibition.

Fred Gullett, of Gullett & Sons., Lin-
coln, 111., spent a few days in the city
the past week. He reports business good
and a heavy demand for rooted Carnation
cuttings and Spring blooming plants.

Albert Erickson, supt., of Vaughan's
Greenhouses at Western Springs, states
the business in yoimg plants has opened
up well. Rambler Roses for Easter
blooming are in a promising condition.

C. J. Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling
Co., returned from a trip to California
last week. He reports business good with
much preparations for St. Valentine's Day
trade.

Geo. Hampton, representing Jos. G.
Neidinger Co., Philadelphia, Pa., is in the
city, having reached here Saturday from
Toledo, 0. He reports the trade in gen-
eral in good condition — far better than
in many other lines of industry. The sale
of St. Valentine's Day novelties has this
season been larger than on any 'former
occasion.

J. Hartje, of Hartje & Elder, Indian-
apolis, Ind., came up to the club meeting
Thursday night and brought along for
exhibition a vase of their new pink seed-
ling Carnation, which was highly admired
here as well as at the Carnation Show
at Washington, D. C.

The North Shore Horticiiltural Society
will hold a stag banquet and smoker at
Andersons Hall, Lake Forest, 111., on
Monday night, Feb. 14. A large number
of trade representatives from Chicago will
go up for the entertainment. The officers
of the Chicago Florists Club will attend
in a body. A lively time is promised all
who attend.

Ella Grant Wilson is having a series
of articles on the culture of Boston Ferns
in the home, published in the Chicago
Daily News. Mrs. Wilson does not ad-
vise cutting off of the runners as is fre-
quently done, but instead, advises the
pinning of them on the top of the pot with
a hairpin, so they will take root and
throw up new growths that will make a
thick plant and not look straggly when the
old fronds die.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. exhibition at
the Chicago Florists Club on Feb. 3 was
highly interesting. It is a collection of 100
flowers of Cattleya Trianse; there were 30
different shades of colors from almost
pure white to rich deep pink and purple.
Orchid grower Anderson showed, besides,
some interesting specimens of seedling
Cattleyas. One seedling in a 4in. pot rep-
resented six years of growth, another six
weeks so small it took microscopic obser-
vation to determine if it was a growing
plant or a mere speck of vegetation. The
plant in the 4in. pot representing six
years of growth will still take from two
to five years more before it will bloom.
Mr. Anderson states that while some seed-
lings bloom at eight years, it is more gen-
erally 10. In a batch of several thousand
seedling plants, some may bloom at six,
others at eight, and still others at 10
years, and there may be many in the
batch that will require even longer. From
this it will be seen that the raising of
orchids from seed is a slow process. Still
we find orchid growers who are satisfied
with this slow method of culture and
favor the continuance of plant Quarantine

Among the Growers

Fort Hamilton Ave., Brooklyn, N. "Y, I

To locate and get around the j
florists and growers of the Brooklyn dis-
trict is no mean task, ■while to accom-
plish the round in one day would neces-
sitate either the magic carpet, or the
equally magic seven league boots, or,
their nearest equivalent, a high power
auto without any mulelike failings.

Not having either, it followed that
when I landed from the 4th ave. sub-
way on 36th St., and found I had to
cross the Greenwood Cemetery to reach
the Fort Hamilton ave. growers, I had
little time to get beyond them. To say
that I, as a stranger, was impressed by
the size of the famous cemetery, is put-
ting it mildly.

Long before I had extricated myself
from the maze of pathways, and found
the exit I was seeking, I was considering
the advisability of agitating for the erec-
tion of a notice at the gateways to this
effect, "Abandon ho^e all ye who enter
here." In fancy I pictured the departed
spirits vainly seeking a way out, or
even a seat whereon they might rest
their weary forms.

As a poor mortal, I almost grew
despondent, even though the sun was
shining on this January day. Near the
entrance, I had seen the sign, "No Smok-
ing ;" elsewhere I observed "Keep
off the grass," while ever and anon I
spied khaki-clad figures meandering
around, presumably on the lookout for
individuals who might be tempted to
break one of the rules. The beauties
of the cemetery, bare though it appeared,
were not entirely lost upon me, but 1
could not but feel that I was wander-
ing into a place unsuited to my tempera-
ment, and I found my memories going
back to the short time I spent in a Ger-
man city^ just prior to the war. There,
many things were verboten and I was
not sorry to get away, more so as the
fireaters were then rattling their arms
and breathing defiance to all and sundry.

However, I eventually emerged from
the great city of the dead, striving to
instil into my laggard legs a semblance
of life in order that the two minions
of the law near the gate, should not
suspect me of being loaded down with
loot. The sight of greenhouses beyond
the railings cheered me no end and, with-
out loss of time, I drifted across to the
store of D, Shannon, behind which are
located about a dozen houses of moderate
dimensions. The proprietor of this con-
cern was not on the spot, but I had the
pleasure of looking around at the in-
vitation of the foreman.

Doing a large cemetery trade, this
firm handles a considerable amount of
bedding stock suitable for the purpose
and, in addition, Carnations, Sweet Peas
and Smilax were under way for cutting.
It need scarcely be said that flowers
have little chance to overdevelop ; the
call for wreaths, etc., causes everything
to suffer from "cutitis," a failing that
cheers, but, at the same time, grieves a
grower who loves to see his proteges
reach perfection.

Pot plants of many kinds are handled,
among them Boston Ferns in quantity.
The last of the Poinsettias and Cyclamen
is left over from the holidays, and
Primula obconica were among the
things that attracted my attention. Sev-
eral of the houses were going through
the repairer's hands in readiness for the
stocks required for the Spring trade.

Closelv adjoining is the great plant of
the .1. Ebb Weir Co. Here I found J.
Landsman, who had just disposed of hia
own business in Second st. and joined
the Weir Co. for the purpose of taking
charge of the growing end. The 100.000
ft. of glass controlled by this concern
is too large for a retail trade, and it
is Intended to make it more in the nature
of a wholesale growing concern. The

big stock of Paperwhite Narcissus i
flower, the many thousands of Lilies i
varying stages of growth, the Bosto:
ferns, the multitude of Geraniums an
other bedding stocks, and the big bate
of Erica cuttings, all gave the impressio
that this concern means business. Everj
thing appeared to be shipshape and it i
highly probable that under Mr. Landi
man's capable survey this old establishe
firm will more than keep up its reputf
tion.

Nearby, J. Condon has two blocks <
greenhouses, one standing back ofE ti
avenue. Catering largely for the Sprio
(bedding trade, these houses naturall
had little to show just now beyond Alte;
nantheras and similar stock. Seven
houses were being run cold for the pii
pose of bulb storage, etc. Sundry p
pairs were keeping the hands busy. Tfa
firm does a big trade in landscape woi
and one gained the impression^ that tl
greenhouses were the least Smportai
feature of the business. Opposite is i
be found the large conservatory of 1
Manker. Here palms, ferns and Prima
obconica were the features. Situated b
hind, is a considerable area of glass ai
I noted an excellent house of Carnatioi
and another of Callas, carrying go<
crops.

Something of everything appeared
be around but, as I could find no one :
authority, I crossed to the next blo)
where F. Wegner runs a small plai
and derives both pleasure and pro:
therefrom. With one helper, he w."
busy making Geranium cuttings and,
his opinion, there is no better Wint
crop than these. The stock plants d
mand bench space for no great length
time and, in the short period, he ci
manage some 30,000 cuttings. His fii
batch of 10,000 had been cleared throuj
an ad in The Exchange, indeed, it h:
been a problem to decide who shou
have them. Incidentally, Mr. Wegner_
no believer in too early a start wi
Geranium cuttings and the fact that
had had no losses, despite the di
weather, indicates that he adopts t
right system.

Of Carnations, he had a full^ house
Enchantress, the house having be
erected the past season by himself a
his assistant. He is proud of this hot
as well he may be, for it is an up--
date one. and the Carnations were doi
fine. The batch of Carnation cnttir
he had under way were, like the Gera
urns, top hole. Inserted on the ben
without . any special arrangements i
shading or keeping close, he had a stri
of close upon 100 per cent. As Mr. W
ner says, it's just a matter of uai
commonsense and, not being tied do"
to rule of thumb, that wins out. Bosi',
Ferns and Anthericums were among 1'
larger pot lines visible, while eeedli'
Begonias and sundry stock plants *
propagating to meet the call for Spriji
bedding plants demonstrated that mil
may be produced on a small place. B*
ding annuals, such as Asters, etc., i^
not started unduly early ; experience ^
ables this grower to fit in things so tl^
the space is available when wanted. ;

"Jay Em" Says This for Chicago

I "It is a well known fact that the

growers for the Great Chicago Wholesale

I Cut Flower Market are the largest pur-

I chasers of all new varieties in E-oses,

I Carnations or any other stock whenever

introduced. They take the lead, more so

1 than in any other district in the United

States, in the trying out and development

of novelties as they appear from time to

time.

"The large increase in capital invested
has been due to the superior class of
greenhouses which have been built. This
has been largely accomplished by the fact
that Chicago boasts of a number of expert
greenhouse construction companies "with
better facilities for this work than any
other city.

"The careful handling of stock, superior
packing, getting the orders delivered to
the trains making the best time, have been
a careful procedure by men who have made
this their life's work. That they have
succeeded well is attested by the wonder-
ful growth of Chicago's Great Cut Flower
Market.

"There are more cold storage plants
connected with the greenhouses in Chi-
cago than in any other district. There
are more auto trucks, more bos factories,
more coal consumed, more fertilizer used,
more help employed than there are con-
nected with any other wholesale cut flower
market in this country. It is headquarters
for more florists' facilities than any other
market."

GOOD CARNATIONS

We always said we had them, now let
us see — are we right?

At the Carnation Convention "SIM'S"
CARNATIONS took 6 Firsts and 3

Seconds with 9 entries. (Not so worse, what?)

All our CARNATIONS come from Wm. Sim of Clifton-
dale. He has only about 130,000 plants. We sell his whole
output.

This about tells the Carnation story but, we have good
ORCHIDS too — the best of all varieties. Frank Dolansky,
of Lynn, has over 70,000 plants and we sell every flower that
is cut from them.

Our ROSES have always given great satisfaction.

Miss Carolina E. Ball of Southboro is
sending to her salesagent, A. Aaronsoiif in
tlie Cooperative Flower Market, the first
supply of Myosotis, also Freesias of fine
quality and Ward and Belle Washburn
Carnations which rank with the best.

"Say it with Flowers" as a slogan and
a means for spreading the sentiment, love
and appreciation for fiowers, not to men-
tion its value as an advertising help, is
now known the world over. But some
wide awake fiorists in the wholesale line
are even accentuating and in a pleasing
personal appeal improving it. Welch Bros.
Co. is receiving from California large con-
signments for distribution of cut sprays
of Scotch Heather. The individual sprays
are of all sizes, many as long as three
Eeet and over, and each bunch has attached
to it a neat little card, bearing in fine
handwriting the following personally writ-
ten verse from Harry Lauder:

"Ye ken I*m sincere
When I send ye 'My Dear'

A wee bit of Heather

For Luck and Good Cheer."

This Scotch Heather has captured the
public's favor in great shape and is selling
rapidly at good prices. The firm is also
receiving large supplies of the beautiful
Acacia Baileyana.

Patrick Welch has returned from
Washington where he attended the meet-

News Notes

(Otoing io the illness of our Boston cor-
respondentj we are unable io present our
readers with a market report this weeh.)

The large circle of friends among
the florist fraternity are sympathizing
with Wm. C. Stickel of Lexington in the
loss of his sister and brother-in-law within
the last few weeks. Mr. Stickel's sister,
Mrs. Enuna Frances Mansfield of Cam-
bridge, died on Jan. 27, at her home in
Cambridge and was buried in Cambridge
Cemetery on Saturday, Jan. 29. She had
been under the doctor's care ever since
her husband, Fred. M. Mansfield died the
day before Christmas last. Both died at
the early age of 48 and 51 years,
respectively.

The Dolansky-McDonald Co., which has
again been obliged to enlarge its store
and storage capacity, had the operations
suddenly interrupted a little while ago,
when the building strike took hold of Bos-
ton. After a short delay, the work was car-
ried forward with the result that the firm
is now in first class condition to handle the
big Easter trade which is alreai^ assured
by advance orders. The firm is greatly
pleased with the fine display of Carna-
tions, made by William Sim at the late
Carnation convention in Washington,
where his exhibits captured an unueual
number of awards. As is well known, the
Dolansky-McDonald Co. sells the entire
output of the immense "Sim" Carnation
range.

matters have been favorably adjusted. Mr.
Welch cannot praise enough the fine spirit,
understanding and activity of Herman
Knoble, who is chairman and representa-
tive of the coromittee.

Peter Hylen of Randolph was the first
in the Flower Exchange Market with
fine flowers of Thomas Moore Tulips, of
which his salesman, Moe Leibman, daily
receives a consignment.

The Gardeners and Florists Club of
Boston has arranged for a great "Car-
nation Night" at the regular meeting in
Horticultural Hall, Feb. 15. According
to promises, made by a large number of
members, the exhibits of Carnations will
be worthwhile to come a long way to see.
A program of short talks by well known
Carnation growers should prove another
attraction. The principal speakers and
their topics are as follows: Sam. J. God-
dard, "At the Washington Convention;"
William Sim, "Varieties Tried Out at
Cliftondale;" W. D. Howard, "Steriliza-

It will also be application night; a rec-
ord number of new members is to be en-
rolled.

The club will hold a field day with
William Sim, Cliftondale, on Feb. 19.
Those members and their friends'who are
not going by auto, are expected to meet
at North Station for the 2.16 train.
Early_ or late comers intending to use the
electric care, may go by elevated to
Everett station, take a Lebanon street
car, change at Maplewood and from there
by jitney to Cliftondale. Another route
is from Kowe's wharf on Atlantic ave., by
boat and narrow gauge train to Lynn. In
Lynn take Cliftondale car and get off at
Morton ave., from where the greenhouses
can be seen.

Miss Stella Comley is confined to her
room with a bad attack of tonsilitis, ne-
cessitating an operation. Henry Comley,
at his store on Park st., is as full of pep
as ever, and has been kept pretty busy
these last few weeks. Funeral orders are
always a prominent feature and, among
those of last week, was a handsome cas-
ket cover for the funeral of Harry Ryan,
an ex-fiorist of North Cambridge. At Mr.
Comley's store can always be found choice
bits of oldfashioned, interesting flow-
ers of a bygone period, which attract the
attention of the passing public.

We noticed in Henry Penn's show
windows several large baskets and vases
filled with beautiful flowers of "Old Gold"
Chrysanthemums. The store has had a good
sale for a lot of well grown Azaleas.

Henry Penn and William Perm gave
prominent and active support during the
Elks' entertainment and festivities which
were given in the Mechanics Building, in
aid of the Children's Hospital.

Thomas F. Galvin Co., Inc., in its stores
on Park st., and Boylston St., Back Bay,
are making an exceptionally fine display
of choice orchids and banks of Camellias
in many varieties. There may also be seen
splendid flowers of several varieties of
the newer, improved Clivias or Imanto-
phyllums, which find great favor with
discriminating customers.

Willy Goldberg, assistant buyer at
Penn's, is scouting around the corners now
in a new "tin Lizzy," and a stroke of good
business has to be "pooty fast" if it wants
to get away from him.

John P. Robinson, son of Henry M.
Robinson, was married to Miss Helen
Tully last Saturday. The happy couple re-
ceived the congratulations of a host of
friends and have departed on a sev al
weeks' honeymoon.

Louis Cohen of the New England Flo-
rists' Supply Co. was given a splendid
bachelor's dinner by his many friends at
the Winterplace Hotel on Feb. 3. The
private dining rooms were festively deco-
rated and the music, singing and dancing
lasted far into the morning. Morris Ham-
bro filled the office of toastmaster and
chief mourner in fine style and was well
seconded and supported by Pansy Leib-
man, whose dozen or so of excruciatingly
funny stories lost nothing in the telling.
His friends presented Mr. Cohen with a
beautiful set of Community silver, while
the girls of the New England Florists
Supply Co. surprised their employer with
the gift of a handsome cut glass electric
lamp.

We are very much grieved to hear of
the serious illness of Mrs. R. C. Bridg-
ham, wife of the proprietor of the New-
ton Rose Conservatories of Newtonville,
Mass. The trade and her many friends

wish the good lady a speedy and happy re-
covery.

Gardeners and Florists Club of
Boston

The banquet and ball of the Gardeners
and Florists Club of Boston was a great
success in every way. The weather was
fine and the attendance larger than at any
similar affair formerly held. There were
325 covers laid in the large lecture hall,
which was beautifully decorated with bunt-
ing and the tables with plants and flowers
which were given for the occasion by
members of the club.

William H. Judd, the president, intro-
duced Albert C. Burrage as the first
speaker. Mr. Burrage gave one of his
interesting addresses, speaking of the
relation of the young gardener to the
present day business. He delivered a
message from the past in that he spoke
of the preservation of wild flowers in
general. In the course of his remarks
he made an offer to the Mass. Horticultur-
al Society, or to the G. F. C. B. of 100
acres of land which is suitable for the
raising of wild flowers, and on which
they would find a haven of protection.

The next speaker was Miss Marion
Roby Case of Hillcrest Farm, Weston,
Mass. She demonstrated the svstem of
introducing boys into the secrets of horti-
culture, floriculture and ^agriculture as used
on her home place, Hillcrest Farm. In
this institution the boys are given a
chance for a good home and good train-
ing in agricultural and floricultural lines
for three to five months in the year. At
the same time, they are given a chance to
actually perform all the operations about
which they are lectured. The course of
this plan of education is plentifully inter-
spersed with features of recreation. At
the close of Miss Case's address she was
presented with a large bouquet of orchids.

Thomas Roland, president of the S. A,
F., also gave a short address.

Vice-President Harold A. Ryan's ad«'
dress closed the speechmaking and the rest-
of the evening was given over to dancing
and a fine entertainment, in which some
of the more prominent members of the
club were either comically or tragically
alluded to by the darkey on the stage.

New England Florists Association

The dinner and monthly meeting of
the above association was held at the City
Club on the evening of Feb. 1. Thirty-
five members sat do^vn to a bountiful din-
ner, but it was observed that market
salesmen and retailers were prominent by
their absence.

B. Letson, the president, made a short
address in which he mentioned that the
association was now tiying to start on
an altogether new basis aa far as the
length of the meetings was concerned.
From now on the meetings will be closed
sharply at 10.30 p.m. so as to give the
memoers from out of town a chance to
catch their trains. The meeting them-
selves will also be held right close to
business at hand. They will be made short
and snappy. President Letson also men-
tioned among other things that the rate
of exchange between retail florists should
be 20 per cent. A committee consisting
of John Cook, F. E. Palmer and S. E
Schaff will investigate this matter and
make a report at the next meeting. Af
the close of the business session President
Letson introduced- Harry A. Pinkham oi
Lynn, who is a representative of th(
State Administration, and whose addresf
was on "God Save the Commonwealth ol
Massachusetts." Mr. Pinkham is a verj
able and well posted speaker and his ad
dress was exceedingly well liked. He was
given a standing vote of thanks.

Three new members were enrolled dur
ing the evening.

The Market

The market became firmer at the
end of the week, cleaning up Saturday's
supply nicely. This week is opening fair-
ly active with a medium supply. The
supply of Koses is growing stronger; while
the long grades still predominate, the
shorts are in better supply than they have
been for the past two months. There is
a fair supply of American Beauty. Car-
nations are in good supply and clearing
well; prices are holding up. Sweet Peas
are plentiful and show a slight decline in
price. Callas are now coming strongly to
the fore. Lilies are holding fairly even.
Cattleyas show little change in supply
and demand. Mignonette is slow. Valley
has dropped considerably in price. Lilac
is selling well. Golden Spurs have suf-
fered a sharp decline. Freesia moves
spasmodically.

Bluebirds Hail in Spring

Weymouth, Mass., Feb. 5. — One swallow
does not make a Summer, nor does a blue-
bird mark the happy fact of Spring, but
when a flock of the harbingers of happi-
ness flies in February, the vernal season
must be close at hand.

This was the opinion of the weather
sharps of this south shore town today
when ten bluebirds dropped in^ preened
themselves on the lawn of Miss Sarah
Brassill, and flew away again to carry
their message elsewhere.

The Market

The week before tlie beginning of
Lent found the market strong. Carna-
tions held up well in price, especially
well grown stock, which was quoted from
8c. to 10c. There was an increase in the
supply of Roses and prices consequently
were lower. Violets and Sweet Peas held
up well, the former being quoted at §1
per 100, S7.50 for lots of 1000; leftovers
were sold at $5 per 1000. Bulbous stock
prices are about the same as last week.

The Publicity Committee will be busy
this week and next week with advertise-
ments for St. Valentine's Day, and every-
thing gives promise of a record breaker
for that day s business. The retailers are
making great efforts to push business in
this direction by signs and stickers. With
the consequent slackening of social gath-
erings and theater parties during the first
few days of Lent, together with bright
weather, the supply of flowers will in-
crease, and the Growers' Ass'n will have
to get to work. Endeavors will be made
to prevent the market from taking a
slump and prices being forced down below
the cost of production.

News Notes

Ernst F. Hoehl, who was with us
last week, representing S. S. Skidelsky &
Co., spoke most encouragingly of the out-
look, and predicted good Easter business.

Wm. J. Bailey, owner of Greenwood
Wholesale Floral Co., Fort Worth, Texas,
spoke well of his output of Columbia
Roses and Butterfly, of which he makes
a specialty. He believes Roses can be
successfully grown in Texas.

H. G. Berning is home and recovering
from his illness. He is at the store daily,
coming down in his new touring car.

Geo. H. Angermuller is disposing of
large quantities of Carnations these days,
and also some well grown Roses.

Foster, the Florist, had a special sale
of Violets at 25c. per bunch, the same day
the street vendors sold them at 35c. per
bunch.

Walter Amling, of Pana, 111., was a visi-
tor, looking after his coal mines' interests.

ent State flower, the Carnation, to the
Tulip Tree, and protest the situation.
Much other important business was trans-
acted with the full indication that the
association will enjoy a prosperous year.

William F. Thomas, with Burlington
Willow Ware Co., was a recent visitor.

William Farley of the Rolph Zetlitz Co.
called on the trade last week.

Several changes in location are contem-
plated by the Illinois st. flower stores in
the near future,

Ir^\'in Bertermann is visiting the flo-
rists at Richmond, Ind.

Mr. Bender, Sr., visited the florists at
Anderson and New Castle last Sunday. He
is well acquainted and has many friends
at both places.

Geo. Weigand is leaving for the Ber-
mudas in the near future and he doesn't
drink a drop either. He wants to go to
.see the Lilies.

Bertermann Bros. Co. is putting in a
new front on its Delaware st. entrance.

Indianapolis, Ind.

A very large attendance characterized
the February meeting of the State Florists
Association of Indiana, held at the Circle
Flower Store, Feb. 2. L. E. Hitz of
Madison, Ind., the new president, occupied
the chair, and he promises to be one of
the best. The committee, which has the
Experimental Station at Purdue in hand
during the meeting of the State Legisla-
ture, reported that favorable bills are al-
most assured in both the House and Sen-
ate. These would not give the heavy funds
necessary for elaborate plans at Purdue,
but would certainly help the station, now
there is to be a very complete one. This
good work could then be carried forward
on a large scale two years hence.

Anders Rassmuiysen of New Albany ,_ Ind.,
and Adolph Baur related their experiences
while in attendance at the Carnation gath-
ering at Washington. Secretary Carlstedt

tor who planned a change from our pres-

Jas. A. McLaughlin, of the Cleveland-
McCallum Co., introduced a motion pro-
viding for the raising by individual sub-
scription of from ?5 to $25 each of $1000,
to apply to the guarantee fund of the big
1922 flower show, with the provision that
any profits accruing be placed in the
treasury of the club; the fund to be
known as the Cleveland Florists Club
Guarantee Fund.

A meeting of the Publicity Committee
was called for 4: p.m., Feb. 15, at the
Hollenden, to be followed by a general
meeting of the fund at 7.30 p.m.

The report of the treasury disclosed
the finances of the club to be in excellent
condition. J. M. L.

Cluli Meeting

Feb. 7. — ^An unusually good meet-
ing, called to order by Vice-President
Robt. Bryden, was held Monday night,
Feb. 7, at the Hollenden. Over 50 mem-
bers were present, practically all of whom
took part in the varied discussion, which
was lively and animated.

Four new members were added to the
roster, namely, Messrs. Schoen, Wester-
burg, Jackmau and Behl.

The regular order of business was dis-
pensed with to permit Paul Key to ad-
dress the club in the interests of the
National History Musexmi. The speaker's
talk showed him to be thoroughly con-
versant with the early history of scien-
tific plant breeding, and was very inter-
esting. The purpose of the National His-
tory Museum, to be soon instituted in this
city, is to promote interest and inspira-
tion in all living things, including plants
and flowers. It is to be a center about
which to congregate all those interested
in the history and development of plant,
animal and mineral life. The address
was enjoyed by all, and the speaker was
given a cordial vote of thanks.

Mr. KJQoble took the floor and spoke of
the necessary preparations for the coming
flower show in 1922. He emphasized the
magnitude of the show and exhorted all
members to make a special effort to at-
tain an unpredecented success.

The president appointed Messrs. Tem-
blett, Knoble, Smith, Barber and Brown,
for the new Publicity Committee. Mr.
Knoble gave a review of the co-operative
publicity of the past few years^ and Mr.
Temblett followed by a discussion of the
ways and means. Mr. Smith and Mr.
Barber also gave their views upon pub-
licity in general.

Carl Hagenberger, spoke interestingly
upon the national aspects of the publicity
situation.

A committee of judges consisting of
S. S. Skidelsky, Clarence Meyers, and Al.
Barber, reported on an exhibit of Primula
obconica, shown by the Daisy Hill Farm,
recommending a certificate of merit.

The Market

Feb. 5. — Market conditions are about
on a par with the previous week. The
best Roses bring $35 per 100, other prices
ranging down to short Butterfly at $8 per
100. Extra fancy Sweet Peas, shipped
in from nearby points, bring $3 per 100,
others of medium grade sell for $2.
Easter Lilies as well as Callas, about
equal to demand, are quoted at $20 per
100. The stock though, is the product of
poor bulbs.

Unusually fine single Daffodils brought
$8 per 100. By the time this goes to
press Daffs. will sell at $6. Freezia of
the Purity type, is quoted at $3 to $6

■ per 100. Some lavender Freezia is seen,
but the other shades have not, as yet,
made their appearance.

■ Tulips are short stemmed; Murillo is
perhaps the best at present. Calendulas
are varied in quantity, as well as quality
and prices range accordingly. Paper-
white are a drug on the market, being
little sought when other stock can be
had. Some good Mignonette is coming in
now and sells well at $6 per 100; Stevia

' is done. Cattleya orchids are being
' shipped in from various points, but do not
' find ready sales; prices around one dollar
! each prevail.

! Carnations are not any too good, and
the best bring around $6 per 100. Home
grown Valley is good stock at $8 per 100;
green goods about equal to demand.
Prospects for Valentine's Day are good;
the scarcity of "Hootch" has turned some
people toward flowers, but the principal
argument is the fact that the legions of
floral valentine senders who took part in
the late war, are now back to old condi-
tions, and business this year should be
better than last. Daffodils, Tulips and
Hyacinths in pans are good sellers at
present, and no doubt will be in big de-
mand for Valentine's Day.

Salt Lake City — Continued from 382

The dull weather has had its effect_ on
the Carnation cut, and while the prices
are the same as last week, many whole-
salers find it hard to fill all orders. Sweet
Peas are in fair supply at $2 and $3 per
100. These clean up well every day, and
more could be moved if available. Daffo-
dils are now plentiful, the best flowers
bringing 8c. Freesias are arriving in
large quantities, and move fairly well at
$3 to $6 per 100.

Pot plants are moving in fine shape;
bulbs such as Hyacinths, Tulips and Daffo-
dils are being offered in fair quantities
and clean up well at good prices. Some
excellent Cinerarias are also in evidence.

Ne-wa Notes

Guy French, traveling representa-
tive of the American Bulb Co., has spent
the past week visiting Salt Lake City and
vicinity. He spent Tuesday and Wed-
nesday as the guest of an old acquaintance,
Robert Miller, of the Miller Floral Co.
Mr. French made a big hit with florists.
His knowledge of the business and his
striking personality made him hosts of
friends in this State. Come again, Mr,
French.

Oskar Bjorkgren, who is connected with
the C. A. Peterson Nursery and Florist,
Inc., Tarrytown, New York, visited the
trade last week.

Elmer Evershed, who was connected
with the Salt Lake Nursery for about
eight years, has accepted a position with
the Miller Floral Co.'s retail store at 10
East Broadway. G. J. B.

Kansas City, Mo.

William Foith has one of the best
Carnation crops around here; he has 30,-
000 under way.

0. C. Longnickel, who has had two
greenhouses in Argentine for the past 20
years, has lately opened a retail store at
2117 Metropolitan ave. He is doing even
better than he expected.

Frank Stup^y of St. Joseph, Mo., vis-
ited some of his friends in the city a few
days ago on his way to Excelsior Springs,
i where he will play golf and rest after the
! holiday rush and prepare for Easter.
I Jacob Hepting is in charge of his green-
j house again. For a time he leased his
range to Edward Lewis, who had this in
' addition to his own houses. The work of
] rebuilding after the destructive hailstorm
last May and the preparation for Fall
I business was so heavy on Mr. Lewis that
Mr. Hepting decided to get back to grow-
ing. He has been very successful with his
Carnations this season and is cutting a
good crop.

Henry Kusik & Co. are far behind with
wire orders. The factory has not been
able to catch up for several months.

W. S. Dolan of the American Green-
house Manufacturing Co. is in Texas on
business for the company. B. S. B.

DAHLIA SEED
This seed is raised from the most up-to-date
Dahlias in existence. In no place in the world
have Dahlias been brought up to such perfection
as they have been around San Francisco. This
mixture contains all colors and types of Peony,
Cactus and Decorative varieties. The seed we
sent out in previous years was highly praised by
all who raised Dahlias from it. but this seed is far
superior to what we have sent out in p revious years
The seedlings will commence to flower two months
after sowing and almost a month earlier than plants
raised from bulbs. i

VEGETABLE PI,ANTS AND SEEDS

THE DIENER TOMATO
Increase your Tomato jield one hundred per cent
by raising the new Diener Tomato; 30-40 tons of
ripe fruit to the acre,

'This Tomato was raised last year all over the
United States and Canada with the greatest satis-
faction.

As smooth as an Apple and of a magnificent
dark red color. Single "Tomatoes weigh up to 3 lbs.
each. The flesh is more solid than that of any other
Tomato. The fruit contains very little seed and i?
solidly filled out. This Tomato is free of the arid
taste and for dehydrating, catsup and canning it
is the best Tomato in existence to-day.

The Diener Tomato is blight-resisting as well as
drought-resisting. It will not crack from the rain
and will not rot while lying on the ground in wet
weather. This Tomato will grow in almost any
kind of soil and it commences to ripen the first part
of August-
It is the greatest novelty in the Tomato line, and
it will soon crowd out the present varieties from the
market by its far superior qualities.

Price of the Diener Tomato Seed: Sample pkg.
25c.; one quarter of an acre, pkg. 50c. one acre,
pkg. $1.50.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Clieap Dinners

A dinner for 75c. and all tKe
pleasures of a joyous company throwTi in.
That's how they do things at Lancaster,
Pa. If you talk of a dinner in New-
York or Washington at less than $5, well,
nothing doin'!
Tlie Long Evenings

"A good, way to spend some of the
long evenings is to map out a great
Spring campaign," says Fritz Bahr. How
many florists, especially retailers -with a
grower's business, have long evenings go-
ing to waste? Seems to me that the days
are either too long or the evenings too
short to permit much planning or anything
else, especially for the fellow who does
his work in the city and lives in the sub-
urbs.
Penn^s Business

Did you read the note on page 157,
Jan. 15, relating to the Christmas F. T. D.
business of Henry Penn of Boston? West-
ern Union charges, 352 orders for Dec,
1920. The orders went to every state
as well as to Canada, France and England,
Everyone of these orders was an F. T. D.
and hundreds of others were received that
were filled from the store.

Another item of news following the
above, was that relating to J, J. O'Brien
of Boston who, in three hours, turned out
36 full size old fashioned bouquets. Going
some, eh?
That 260,000,000 Mile Star

Everyone has read of the mighty
star Betelgeuse which has a diameter of
260,000,000 miles, but few people can vis-
ualize what that immense figure means.
During the war years, we talked glibly
of millions and billions, but no ordinary
mind ever grasped their portent. Re-
garding the star, a writer recently made,
an effort to visualize its size by calculat-'

ing the size of its human inhabitants (if
it has any) if they are built on the same
liroportions as we are to our own sphere,
A man of Betelgeuse would be 37 miles
tall; liis foot would cover al) ilanhiittaii
and a bit over; his head would be iivc
railes in diameter; his thumb would cover
all downtoAvn New York; his tiand would .
be four miles long, and half as wide, and
his teeth would bo as big as the Wool-
worth Building. The deepest ocean would
f^carcely cover his ankles; his stride would
be IH miles, and he could jump 30 miles;
even the hairs on his head would be 16ft.
thick and — but no matter; it's what sort
of Carnation be would want for his lapel,
and the size of the Cabbage he would need
for a meal, that interests me. I haven't
figured it out but I imagine that Dorner.
Fisher, Strout, Baur and the rest would
be called upon to get busy to evolve the
needful in the w'ay of Carnations. As
for the edible lines, well, there surely
would be a chance for our wizards and
miracle men.

Horticultural Training

The subject of liorticuiltural train-
ing is being discussed; it is a question
we cannot get away from for, at the
present time, it is — and probably wilt be
more so in the future — of serious im-
port to the growers throughout the coim-
try. The days of slab-dab culture are
past; skill and business ability are the
factors that count. But while these may
animate the grower-owner himself, it is ar
undeniable fact that he cannot achieve
much without assistance. He may worli
20 hours a day, but his ability and powei :
to handle his business are wholly con
fined to what his hands and strength wil
permit. As his business grows, he must
call in assistance. Some are fortunatt
in finding men who are as able as them
selves in the art of growing plants am
flowers; not a few have even found helj
which possesses a greater knowledge thai
they themselves. But with the possi
bilities of prohibition against immigra
tion, and the knowledge that there an
few young men sufEciently interested ii
horticulture to go through the traininj
mill of haid practical experience, it give ,
one cause to think and think hard.

The fact that many young people ar
taking courses of training at the variou
colleges is satisfactory, so lar as it goes
but for what purpose and to what end ar
such students working? It is interestin
to note that the same question has fo
years — even before the war — exercised th
minds of commercial and even private gai
dening people in Great Britain.

The old time apprenticeship has, mor
or less, fallen into disuse, and it has bee
observed that the real brainy youth show
less inclination to enter gardens and nu'
series than in years past. Common labo
is there, as here, fairly easy to ootaii
but those who consider the future cai
not see where the skilled mau — the bor
gardeners — are coming from to carry c
in the next generation. Maybe those wt
so think are unduly pessimistic.

As to the training colleges, those i
England are not state affairs, and on
people with a fair amount of means; cr
take up courses, but an inquiry of tl
superintendent of one of the colleges whei
some SO students are always on han
elicited the fact that very few, after the
training, sought situations, but in tl
main, started in business on their ow
account, either as market gardeners or .
small general nurserymen. Large numbe
of ex-army ofl&cers, some of tliem phyt
cally affected, are, -nath the assistance
government grants, undergoing trainii
with the same object in view, and it
foreseen that within the nest tlirce ycai
there may be more proprietary estahli^
ments producing than the population w;
rants, particularly as there are heavy i
portations from other countries. So f
as this country is concerned the fear
too many producers is not worth cohsidi
ing at present, but the question of skill
labor to work these possible ne^v concen
and all the old ones, may ^oU exercise o
minds.

The Wise Spider

A superstitious man wrote to
editor saying that he had found a spit!
in his paper, and asked whether it was
sign of good or bad luck. The reply w.-
"Finding the spider was neither good i
bad luck for you; the spider was lo*
ing over the pajier to see which conoei
were not advertising, so that it could |
lect a quiet place, spin a web over "i
door . and live a life of undisturl i
peace." Readers of The Exchange she j
watch out for spiders when their pap 1
arrive and heed the warning.

The Price Of Glass
And A Word On Borrowing Money To Build

A week or so ago we told you some things that J. W.
Davis said about building greenhouses at present prices.

You were so interested in hearing it, that we thought
you would also like to learn what one of Chicago's big
men thinks. So here it is:

Mr. Paul E. Weiss, who is known in the West as
"the Secretary of Six " is the man we mean. He is con-
nected with various greenhouse companies, coal com-
panies and I don't know how many other live wire, grow-
ing enterprises. Six in all.

Right now, with one of his propositions, under the
name of Weiss and Myers, he has just completed one
of our big iron frame houses for growing Roses.

Just "two whoops and a holler, and a look-over," as
they say down in Virginia, Lord & Burnham are erecting
at Premier Gardens, two more big iron framers as compan-
ions for the two which they erected last year.

Mr. Weiss is one of those quiet, clean cut, penetrating
men who bases his business on figure facts, not on rosy
dreams about the Roses he is going to grow. Of many
encouraging things he said about the outlook for the
growers for the next few years to come, one stands out
strongest in my mind. He said: "Did you ever notice
that most growers, whenever they talk about building,
at once commence dwelling on the price of glass per box.
Take this house, 70 ft. wide by 400 ft. long. Suppose
I'd wait until the price of glass was reduced $1.00 per
box. What difference do you suppose it would make
in the total cost of a greenhouse of this size ? Only a
little over $700. The saving of course on a smaller
size house would be reduced in proportion to the size of
the house.

Now, what a fool a man would be to put off building
a Rose house a year for the sake of $700 cost. When a
man builds, he makes that $700 over and over again.
To my notion there are too many growers today, figuring
on what it is going to cost them to build, and too few of
them figuring on what it is going to cost them if they
don't build."

Following my interesting talk with Mr. Weiss, I spent
the evening with about the most hard-headed, sound
thinking man the greenhouse profession has.

J^fc^WhenjI asked him what he thought about the building
outlook for 192], he said: "The outlook is all right.
The only trouble is the growers are not looking out."

"You know the surprising thing to me is, that so many
growers get cold feet when they think about going to a
bank to borrow a little money to put up a house. Don't
know of a single line of business that can show, in so short
a time, so definite and juicy a bit of profit, as the florist
business."

"Any grower who has kept even half way figures, on the
cost of his house, the gross of his sales, his expense and the
net profit, can go to a bank, lay the figure facts before
them and get a substantial loan."

"The time is over, when banks thought greenhouses
were not a good property to advance money on. No doubt,
there are still a lot of uninformed, hide-bound bankers who
still feel the same way. However, there are enough of the
enlightened kind to furnish money to build more green-
houses than all the growers in this country would have
the nerve to tackle."

"If a grower falls down on certain methods of handling
some of his Roses, he don't let it go at that and crawl
away and lie down. He tries out another way. And
another. And another, till he hits the right way."

"Why then, in case one bank don't quite see their
way clear, as they say, to advance a loan, don't they
go to another bank ?"

"A bank's business is to loan money. It's the only
thing they have to sell. Money and service. If only
the growers would go to them with that attitude, the
bankers would have a lot more confidence. More
money is loaned on confidence than on mortgage or
security."

"If you are half way convinced, don't expect to
convince a banker all the Way."

Wc feel confident in offering AGERATUM Fraserii to our customers that we are offering |.
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years — that'
is a blue, a decided blue, that will be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
Fraserii attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about S to 10 in.
high and was covered the entire Summer with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 21'i in. across, while the individual flower would be seven-,
eighths of an inch in diameter. The plaiit spread about 12 to 15 in. across. It can very easily bo,
used with Alternantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

The Florists' Exchange

It will pay you to read the letters below from well-known authorities

Mr. Gladiolus Grower:

No doubt you know the Kunderd Gladiolus and that

never before have I had a surplus to offer to the trade.

These new Gladioli have grown so rapidly in popular

favor that even now, these "dull times," I can only spare

stock of a limited number of kinds to a few

growers. Last year I sold over $53,000.00

worth of bulbs and this year the sales will

probably nearly reach this amount, if not more,

and if not for the "dull times," would have

reached $80,000.00 to $100,000.00. All

t — -' this business has been built up in 10 years

and before Gladioli became as popular as now.

The Gladiolus is fast becoming by far the

most popular of all summer flowering bulbs (or plants),

and rightly so, both as a garden ornament and as a

cut flower. Too many growers are still growing the

more common kinds and not keeping up with the finer

new things, and are thus losing the best returns.

Mr. John Zeestraten, East Bridgewater, Mass., in a letter dated Janu-
ary 4» 1921, wrote me as follows:

Dear Sir:

Yours of December 31 received and I thank you for letting me have the
25 Marie Kunderd for $100.00. I am buying this to work up a stock from, and
don't care what a bulb costs as long as it is good. I sincerely think your Gladiolus
the finest in the world without any exception. And not only that but good money
makers for the grower. I grow many varieties originated by you, including all
your Glorys and have made money on all of them. I have Norton and Mary
Fennell which are hard to beat. Purple Glory is a "beaut."

On receipt of above, I wrote Mr. Zeestraten that I would like to use
his letter for this advertisement to show other growers what can be done.
He replied as follows:

East Bridgewater, Mass., Jan. 10, 1921.
Dear Sir:

Yours to hand and you can use anything out of my letter you may see fit.
Yes, Mr. Kunderd, I think your Gladiolus wonderful and as a grower know them
to be fine money makers. I have sold over 10,000 young bulbs of Norton alone
this year, besides its bulblets at $50.00 per quart.

Next year, after I have paid for my farm, I am going to get only new varieties
from you, and be one of the first to have something new for sale. You are right
in buying only the best because a plant or bulb is never expensive when it is good.
We always did this way in Holland and found it very profitable, and I am doing
the same now. Four years ago I started here without a cent and only a few bulbs
and now I own a little place in Mansfield and have a fine 50-acre farm here with
good buildings, and almost all paid. I made enough on "Norton," "Orange Glory"
and "Mary Fennell" to pay over one-half of this place. So you see what Kunderd's
varieties have done for me. I am sure I will make good in a few years on the
"Marie Kunderd." I must not forget "Lilywhite." Last Spring I bought bulblets
of it from Mr. Header for $150.00. This Fall I sold a fine lot of young bulbs from
it. but have a nice lot of young stock left for myself.

Respectfully yours,

(Signed) John Zeestraten.

Many of our best growers have built up in this way- Some growers
make the mistake not to buy new kinds of bulbs or plants when scarce,
because while yet scarce the prices are high. The large quantity which
can be grown from a new variety in a few years makes the first cost com-
paratively insignificant. The increase in stock is always far more rapid
than the decrease in price for years, and if you wait till the price is cheap,
you find you have something which is too cheap by then to grow profitably.
A Peony plant will double in quantity each year, an Iris will increase four
times a year and a not very rapidly increasing Gladiolus would under
favorable conditions multiply by ten each year. Now take your pencil
and a piece of paper and see what this means for a period of five or ten
years.

A prominent firm of bulb growers in Florida wrote me December 29
last:

"Your wonderful introductions need no praise from us — they are in a class
by themselves. We have tried many varieties of other growers, and have gone
as far West as California, thinking perhaps that bulbs from there would do well in
our climate, but most of these have found their way into our Mixture."

Another grower from Ann Arbor, Mich., January 4 (this year) in a
letter, writes:

"You certainly have marvelous varieties and I should like to see you take down
the bars and flood the whole world with their beauty, making them accessible to
the poorest, who really need them most, as well as to the more wealthy. Person-
ally, I should like nothing better than to run the most of my business into your
varieties."

More than a dozen testimonials like the above come in my mail weekly. Now Mr. Grower, would it not
be good business for you to grow Gladioli that bring such praise and such demand? There is always a surplus of
common kinds, but never enough to meet the demand for good varieties. If you are a grower, you need this stock
and if you are a beginner, you cannot afford to start without it. Take advantage of this opportunity, as I do not
expect to offer a surplus to the trade next season. Write me a list of what you can use and I will make you an
attractive inducement on wholesale lots.

Three Months of Opportunity-Make the Most of Them

Throughout the Qu. 37 discussion the aim of THE FLORISTS' EXCHANGE has been to as-
certain and bring to light the truth, to secure justice for all, and to create in all minds a clear
conception of the facts as they affect the trade and the nation's welfare. To this end we have
tried to present the following important information in the clearest light and greatest detail,
so that none shall overlook its significance.

The fact is simply this; The F. H. B. offers, apparently in all good faith, to cooperate with
the trade to the extent of considering, until June 1, applications for permits to import for propa-
gative purposes, stocks of plants for which definite need (on a basis of commercial scarcity)
can be shown. How far the Board will permit importers to go is yet to be seen. The point is
that it is now up to those importers to say out loud what they want, and why. If they can ad-
vance convincing arguments, permits to import can be expected. Without such arguments,
they can lay claim to little foundation for complaint against the regulations of Qu. 37. NOW
is their chance to ask for what they say they want and need, not six months from now, after
the subject has been closed. The message to the trade is therefore, in effect, that mandate of
long ago: "SPEAK— OR FOREVER HOLD THY PEACE! "

Liberal Provision Made for Plant Introductions |
Under Quarantine No. 37

The communicalioH zdiich follows was received from
,: C. I- Marhitt, Cliainnan of the Federal Hortkiillural
Mrd wider dole of ll'ashinylon, Feb. 9, in zvtiich lie
iid: "i transmit herezvith for your use a decision of
\; Board with respect to the issuance of special permits
'j nnv plant varieties or old plants for the purpose of
'.'.ablishing reproduction plantings in this country. It
II probably be of interest to all persons engaged in the
iopaijation of stock hitherto largely imported"

* * *
' N addition to the unlimited commercial entry which is
permitted under Quarantine 37 of certain classes of
> plants, it is perhaps now generally understood that pro-
sion is made under Regulation 14 of this quarantine
ir the importation of all other plants whatsoever in
lantities to meet any legitimate introduction needs.
In order to give a fair opportunity to secure necessary
ocks for such purposes, the Board will issue to all ap-
icants during the first two-year period of the quaran-
:ie special permits for any particular plant variety, new
;■ old, unavailable commercially in the United States.
;i other words, such permits will not be refused to late
imers because permits for perhaps adequate quantities
: the plant concerned have already been issued to oth-
s. A two-year period, however, would seem to be suf-
:ient to allow practically all plant propagators oppor-
jnity to stock up with unavailable plants. Thereafter the
suance of permits for such plants will be made abso-
[tely dependent on a showing of need and of commercial
!iavailability in the United States. It should go without
'ying that this provision will not restrict the issuance
;' special permits for the importation of new horti-
i'ltural creations or discoveries.

' This decision of the Board is to correct a situation
hich had arisen in the administration of the quarantine
here permits were being refused with respect to plants
)r which entry had previously been authorized, and it
.as felt that it was better to give all a fair opportunity
l)r a definite period to secure any of the plants which
iid once been authorized rather than to arbitrarily stop
le issuance of permits perhaps after only a few indi-
duals had secured the plants in question, under the
;lief that sufficient stocks of these plants had already
jien imported.

Importers and the public probably now fully understand
tat importations under special permits are only for re-
oduction purposes and the plants so imported must be
;.'pt for a period of one to five years, designated in the
i-'rmit, and employed for such reproduction purpose un-
'^r the control of the Board and subject to such in-
jJection from time to time as the Board may require.
In this connection it may be a matter of interest to
ate that special permits under Regulation 14 have been
jsued authorizing importation of approximately SOOO
ifferent varieties of plants ! Many of these varieties
iive been included in many different permits, and the
itiportation of some of them, notably in the case of bulbs
Ind bulblets, has been authorized in very large quan-
ties.^ Since the quarantine was promulgated some 650
ermits have been issued for the entry for this purpose
if the so-called "prohibited plants." These permits
uthorize the importation, if they can be found for pur-
pase abroad, of upward of 16,000,000 plants, including
.ulbs and bulblets, and also several hundred thousand
fnamentals and other plants! Importations made under
.lese permits are now being successfully propagated and
;produced in hundreds of establishments in some twenty-
■ve different States.

The policy of the Board and Department has been lib-
ra! as to the amount of plants which may be imported
nder these permits with the intention of giving ample
pportunity to establish reproduction enterprises on as

large a commercial scale as the market demands of this
country warrant, and with the object of eliminating as
rapidly as possible the dependency on foreign supplies
and thus attaining the main purpose of the quarantine in
greatly lessening the risk of entry of new plant pests.

What We Want to Know

In the endeavor to make this communication as easily
understood as possible to those of our readers particularly
who have not been following up the workings of Qu.
27 closely, we wrote Dr. Marlatt, asking him among other
questions : "Does this new proviso mean that only those
applicants who were refused permits during the first two
year period of the Quarantine (June 1, 1919, to June 1,
1921) are to be now allowed to bring in the products
for which they made application at that time, provided, of
course, that these come under the prescribed term 'new or
old, unavailable commercially in the United States' ?"

Further, we asked for specific information in con-
nection with the statement of the F. H. B. that "impor-
tations made under these permits are now being suc-
cessfully propagated and reproduced in hundreds of es-
tablishments in some 25 States."

"Would it not be good publicity," we asked "to make
known in a more general way than has hitherto been
done at least the more important plants which have been
brought in, new or old, (commercially) unavailable in the
United States."

This question was asked for the reason that those
among us who have obtained permits to import have been
extremely reticent so far as publicity was concerned.

We further asked Dr. Marlatt as to what authority in
this country was satisfactorily posted in this matter
to inform the F. H. B. authoritatively whether there was
sufficient in this country or not (of any special variety
that a permit might call for) to serve for a commercial
purpose. To practically all these questions Dr. Marlatt
has made a full reply.

What Dr. Marlatt Tells Us

Your letter of Feb. 11 duly received. I regret that
the statement transmitted with my letter of Feb. 9 seems
not to have been fully informing as to the purpose of the
Board. The statement announces the policy which the
Board has actually been following for several months,
gives the reason for that policy, and indicates the future
policy of the Board with respect to importations under
special permits.

The main point in the notice is that the Board will,
irrespective of the actual existing stocks in this country
or of the recommendations of experts as to abundant
availability of such stocks, continue to issue permits for
any stocks which at any time have been authorized entry
under the quarantine up to a certain period, namely, the
end of the first two years of the enforcement of the
quarantine. That period terminates May 31, 1921. It is
plain, therefore, that there are only a few months more
during which this particular provision will apply but, as
just stated, this policy has been the basis of action of
the Board for some time past.

Permits Harder to Get After June 1

The decision does not mean that at the end of this
period it will be no longer possible for anyone to get
plants for which permits have been issued during this
two-year period, but that the Board will thereafter de-
mand a full showing of inadequacy, and permits will not
be issued pro forma simply because other permits for
the same plants have been previously issued.

This provision applies to all, and is not limited to per-
sons who were refused permits for any of these plants
at any time. The Board's idea was that a good many im-
porters might be slow in determining whether to import
stocks or not,^ and that such persons should not be de-
nied the possibility of importing stocks simply because
others had gotten ahead of them, but naturally there
must come a time when the determination should be
made as to the adequacy of importations and, therefore,
as to availability of sufficient stocks in the United States
to meet essential needs. The Board has felt, therefore,

tliat a two-year period sliould be afforded, after which
special permits as to any particular plants once deter-
mined as commercially unavailable should be refused.

To make the matter still more plain, it may be stated
that subsequent to May 31, 1921, the Department will
not necessarily have an absolute embargo against any
siiecific list of plants, but after that period a showing of
need nuist be made which will overcome the facts as to
availability due to what the experts of the Department
may believe to have been adequate importations during
tile first two years of the quarantine.

Policy of F. H. B. to be Liberal

With respect to your inquiry as to the more important
plants which have been authorized entry under special
permits, the giving of this information will involve a lot
of work, as will be appreciated from the fact noted in the
statement that such authorizations extend to some 5000
different varieties of plants, and very possibly it would
not serve any useful purpose. In other words, the plant
propagators of this country are, or at least should be,
fairly well advised as to availability of any plant or plant
varieties.

The Board, however, will be glad to have anyone sub-
mit, in accordance witli the regulations and on the proper
application form, a list of plants which they believe to
be unavailable commercially and which they wish to im-
port. This list will be canvassed by the experts in the
different classes of plants in the Bureau of Plant In-
dustry of this Department and the Board will issue the
permits on the recommendations of these experts. In
a general way, the policy of the Board and of the
Bureau of Plant Industry is to be liberal with the full
realization that plants may be very widely distributed and
abundant in private grounds and gardens throughout the
country and yet not commercially available, and this fact
is always taken into consideration. In other words, as
stated in the announcement, the Board is anxious to
make actual provision for the development of plant pro-
duction in this country so as, as soon as possible, to
eliminate dependency on foreign supplies.

Facts Sought From All Sources

In respect to the determination of the legitimacy of the
requests for importation — in other words, on the basis
of availibility of the plants in this country— the Board
realizes that there is ample room for differences of opin-
ion." All such requests are referred to a committee of
experts appointed by the Chief of the Bureau of Plant
Industry of the Department of Agriculture. This com-
mittee embodies men who are experts in different phases
of plant production. Back of this committee stand the hun-
dreds of experts of the Department who are specialists in
plant production of alli sorts, both as to to fruits and orna-
mentals. In addition to this, the Board is perfectly willing
and glad to receiveargumentsor information from the ap-
plicants, and in many cases the information thus received,
when submitted to the Department experts, has led to a
change of decision. All the Department wants is an
authoritative determination, and is glad to get aid in
such determination from any reliable source
* * *

From the text of Dr. Marlatt's letter it would appear
that permits will be obtainable up to May 31 next by
all, whether or not the applicant has hitherto applied
for such a permit. It is always understood, however,
that the particular plant variety applied for, whether new
or old, must be unavailable commercially in the United
States, that is, be here in sufficient quantities to meet
our needs.

Bignonia or Pyrostegia

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

Referring to your correspondent's letter concerning
Florida on page 339 and your comments thereon, I think
you will find that Bignonia robusta should read Bignonia
venusta, a plant they seem to be much excited about in
Florida, but which I have not seen blooming. This
plant is listed in Reasoner Brother's catalogue as Pyros-
tegia venusta, which I imagine is its proper name, as Mr.
Reasoner seems to be very careful in such matters. I
enclose a page of the price list showing this, and you
may care to notice that a double Poinsettia is offered on
the other side of the sheet. Geo. A. Bates,

Highwood, N. J.

—Bailey quotes Pyrostegia as being formerly grouped
with Bignonias. P. venusta is apparently the only species.
Its resemblance to the Bignonia is strong, but, like many
other similar plants, it has characters that make it
distinct from true Bignonias, which family has, in latter
years, been much shrunken through the transference of
some of its members to other genus. As our corres-
pondent states, Reasoner Bros, offer the Double Poin-
settia, describing it as very fine, but later than the Single.
As the Poinsettia is essentially a Christmas plant, the
late flowering of the double form probably accounts for
its rarity or even total exclusion among florists' flowers.

Just About. — "A church fight," said Jones, "is just like a
dog fight in a garden." "How'a that ?" asked Smith. "Why,"
answered Jones, "nothing is settled but the garden." — Ladies'

New York Growers Association

A NEW ORGANIZATION

President: F. R. Plerson
Vice-President: Frank H. Traendly
Secretary-Treasurer: A. M. Henahaw
Executive Committee: Eugene Dailledouze,

William H. Duckham, Charloa H. Totty,

F. B. Abrahams.

I Past experience having demonstrated the futility of
Circulars as a means of attracting more than the known
iicn who have the interests of the trade at heart to open
meetings, A. M. Henshaw, supported by F. R. Pierson,
■"iigene Dailledouze, Robt, Simpson, W. H. Duckham, M.
ilatheron, F. B. Abrahams, Harry O. May, Jr., C. H.
i'otty, L. B. Coddington, Joseph Manda and F. L.
\tkins, arranged tlirough the medium of telephone calls,
•criial invitations and small printed notices, a meeting of
•lit flower growers at the Engineers' Building, W. 39th
;.t., on Friday, Feb. 11. The purpose of tlie meeting was
,0 discuss the organization of all growers, local advertis-
ng, and other matters of importance. Considering the un-
pleasant weather conditions and the short notice call,
ihc gathering of some forty growers was decidedly sat-
isfactory.

iV. M. Henshaw Opens Meeting

! A. M. Henshaw took the chair at 3 p.m. and opened
[lie proceedings with a brief explanation as to the ob-
ject of the meeting. Growers only had been invited be-
iausc it was felt that if any action was to be started, it
nust begin with the growers, who constitute the source of
'upply. The need of local advertising at the present
lime was painfully evident. There were in the whole-
jalers' ice boxes, large quantities of flowers which ought
0 have been sold, and would have been sold had the pub-
lic been made aware that flowers were plentiful. He
Selieved if they once got a local advertising campaign
barted. it would in eifect be national publicity. The
;-'ntire country keeps an eye on New York. Touching
tpon the plan of gathering funds, he stated that the
rrowers were practically united on the proposition. The
■A'holesalers, of which he was one, could only go as far
,<s agreeing to putting up $50 to $150, individually; the
retailers were not as yet in full agreement, although
:-xecutives of the N. Y. Retail Florists Association and
he Greek- American Florists Association had practically
bromised to contribute at the rate of half of one per
;ent. The wholesalers, however, were averse to collect-
ing the funds from these various sources. They were
present as growers and he hoped they would agree to a
plan of action; such other sections of the trade as were
iigreeable to assist would formulate their plans when once
(t was seen that the growers were really moving.

)?. R. Pierson Takes Charge

' He then asked F. R. Pierson, chairman of the growers'
i:ommittee, to take the chair and explain what plans the
nommittee had formulated. Mr. Pierson stated that, at
jhis time, they had over two million feet of glass repre-
iented, and the owners of such had agreed to contrib-
iite on the basis of $2 per 1000ft. This related to the
!:ut flower growers. All would agree as to the merits
ind necessity of advertising, and it was proposed to de-
rote 75 per cent of the fund derived to local work,
'he remainder going to the national fund. The figures

were tentative and could be more fully discussed when
they really got going. Their market certainly could be
widened for, independent of others who had not en-
rolled in the scheme, the capital represented in the glass
mentioned, was close on five million dollars. He read out
the names of those who had enrolled, and then asked
that others who were agreeable to enroll, give in their
names. i\ dozen or more growers gave details as to their
glass area, and while not all were prepared to contribute
jii the $2 basis at the moment, they were in sympathy
with the movement.

Nearly 3,000,000 Feet of Glass

By the accession of these growers the amount of glass
was increased to 2,7OO,00Oft. Mr. Pierson said that this
amount of glass represented, but a small percentage of
what was to be found in the New York district, and he
believed all could greatly assist in increasing member-
ship by doing personal missionary work, either by visit-
ing their neighbors or by telephone. H they could start
advertising he believed others would quickly realize the
benefits and join up. In Chicago and other cities the
effect of advertising was readily visible. All they wanted
was some live educational ads in the New York news-
papers.

Chicago Talks of Doubling

Frank Traendly explained that he was the first to ad-
vocate the $2 a lOOOft., but he realized its smallness.
The amount derived from two million odd feet of glass
would not be sufficient to do much, but it was a start.
In Chicago, $50,000 was the sum available. He men-
tioned that Poehlmann Bros., when once they grasped
the possibilities of the scheme, were among the most
keen. When he was in Chicago recently, the chief talk
was not regarding the effects of the local advertising,
but whether it would be advisable to double the contri-
butions. In Chicago, the amount contributed by the
growers w-as one per cent on total sales. This was
at least five times as much as New York would be giv-
ing on the $2 a lOOOft. basis ; if Chicago growers doubled
their contributions they would be giving ten times as
much as New York growers were being asked to con-
tribute. Regarding the retailers' argument as to the
results of advertising bringing about a greater cost
of flowers, it was perhaps true, but he agreed with Mr.
Henshaw that many retailers preferred small sales and
large profits. He was well aware that many of them
were boosters of artificial goods rather than of flowers.

Roman J. Irwin stated that he had been able to get
the promise of about $2000 from the seedsmen. Two
Holland importers were prepared to give $250 each to the
fund, and he thought that growers who bought of bulb
importers should be able to influence them into sub-
scribing.

Buffalo and St. Valentine's Day

Chairman Pierson referred to the fact that, through
advertising, St. Valentine's Day trade in Buffalo was
equal to that of Easter. The trouble in New York was
lack of distribution. He mentioned that several years ago
visitors from San Francisco asked where the florists
kept their stock and he had to confess that most of it
was to be found in the wholesalers' ice boxes.
A. M. Henshaw Calls for Action

A. M. Henshaw asked whether they couldn't start that
evening by pledging quarterly instalments. They had
been meeting and talking since October. The question
of whether advertising boosted prices to the retailer was
of no consequence. If the retailer could sell, price was
no object. He mentioned the fact that retailers were

much more keen to buy Freesia than Paperwhites, the
latter being too cheap, yet by advertising, Paperwhites
eould undoubtedly be made to sell. It was a question of
how much profit that influenced many retailers rather than
the quantity they could sell. F. Traendly proposed that one-
third of the year's contribution be at once collected ; it
would be a start.

S. Kahn Starts Action

S. Kahn made an eloquent appeal to all to cut talking.
He pointed out that on the suggested basis a grower
would only contribute about one cent on 1000 Carnations.
He wound up his peroration by handing the chairman
a cheque for his full year's contribution, an act that
jroused the first real show of enthusiasm. A. M.
Dauernheim, speaking for the plant growers, explained
why they, at present, only agreed to $1 per lOOOft.
Some growers were fully ready to double that amount.
Regarding the value of advertising he mentioned that
they once had a big stock of Lilies which looked like
hanging up, but a party, seeing a chance, bought the lot
at a lower price than was generally prevailing and, by
advertising, he cleared some 3000 pots in quick time.
His profit was small, but the big turnover paid.

W. H. Duckham urged caution ; he thought they should
get more growers in before starting. L. B. Coddington
expressed similar views. He thought they might send one
or two missionaries around to the growers.

Chairman Pierson and A. M. Henshaw declared it
was hopeless to think they would get all growers in. If
they further delayed action the scheme would simply
stand where it was. They had talked since October
and it was time to do something.

New York Growers Association Formed

Harry O. May aroused action by proposing they form
a plant growers' association right away. Chairman Pier-
son agreed that a growers organization was really needed.
W. Badgely seconded the proposal of Mr. May and,
after spirited discussion, it was agreed the New York
Growers' Association be formed. Chas. H. Totty and
-A. M. Henshaw asked if this was to be a local of the
N. F. G. A. or a section of the New York Allied Florists
Trades Association. Mr. Henshaw pointed out that the
A. F. T. A. of New York was an actual fact and he
was chairman of it.

A Word from W. R. Pierson

Things at this point seemingly being a bit mixed,
Wallace R. Pierson explained that by contributing 25
per cent to the National Publicity Fund, this proposed
organization would automatically become a local of the
N. F. G. A. Questions arose as to whether the new
N. Y. G. A. was for cut flower growers only and it was
agreed that all classes of growers should be recognized.
Having straightened out matters. Chairman Pierson
said it was for them to elect officers.

Election of Officers

Nominations were immediately put forward and officers
were elected as given at the head of this article.

On the suggestion of Wallace R. Pierson, Harry O.
May proposed that it was the sense of the meeting
that the officers do their utmost to assist in the develop-
ment of the Allied Florists Trade Association of New
York. This was in answer to A. M. Henshaw's reser-
vation in regard to his acting as secretary for the
Growers Association. On the motion of F. Traendly
it was unanimously agreed that the secretary be author-
ized to send out bills to cover January to June at once
to all members of the association.

The meeting came to a close at 5 p.m.

THE regular monthly meeting was held at the En-
gineers' Building, West 39th St., Feb. 14. Presi-
; dent I. S. Hendrickson called the meeting to

order promptly, about 40 members then being present.
Budget for 1921

jl Roman J. Irwin, for the board of trustees, submitted
'' J J ^^' report as drawn up; the amount to be ex-
pended during the coming year is by this budget lim-
■ted to some $3300. This budget, he stated, had been
ipproved by the full committee. President Hendrick-
son asked whether it was the wish of the meeting to
'?°°Pt "ts budget report. Percy B. Rigby urged that
t he left over until the ne.xt meeting, on account of the
•mall attendance. Joseph Manda agreed that the sug-
gestion was a good one, as it was not desirable to force
|this proposition through at that moment. He pointed
:tiut that the committee had expressed the view that,
jin future, no further monies were to be expended
jWithout first being submitted to the board of trustees
pomting out that this reservation related to monies out-
I'lae of the proposed budget. Treasurer W. C. Rick-

ards explained that such a motion was unnecessary, as
the by-laws stipulated that 30 days had to elapse be-
fore any sum above $50 could be expended.

In reply to Secretary John Young, Mr. Rigby stated
that the question of salaries to the officers and other
such sums referred to in the budget did not come under
the stipulation which the committee had made. Such
salaries, etc., would in any case have to be spent.
Joseph Manda formally moved that the report be de-
ferred to the next meeting. Percy B. Rigby seconded
the motion.

Charles W. Knight asked what prospects there would
l)e to discuss the report at the next meeting, which
would take place the night before the opening of the
Spring show. A. L. Miller suggested that there were
sufficient present to settle the budget discussion with-
out further delaj'. President Hendrickson expressed
the view that the matter could be settled only by a vote
and he asked those in favor of the motion to rise.
Strangely enough those in favor and those in opposi-
tion tied and, to settle the matter, the president cast
his vote in favor of the report being deferred until the
next meeting.

The Annual Banquet

Roman J. Irwin, as chairman of the Banquet Com-
mittee, explained what prospects there were for the

banquet which was to be held during the show. It was
necessary that they have a guarantee of 300 tickets,
that being the minimum number which the Biltmore
Hotel would undertake. He asked all who intended to
be present to make their applications at the earliest
possible date.

The Allied Trade Association

A. M. Henshaw, at the invitation of tlie president,
expressed his pleasure in being among his friends
again, and at the same time extended his thanks to
those who had sent him flowers and shown other kind-
nesses during his recent illness. Referring to the
A. F. T. A., he briefly explained what had been done
at the meeting held last Friday. It was estimated that
the growers would be contributing something lilce
$3000 toward the fund and it was hoped that before
long they would be able to start some local advertising
in the newspapers.

The Spring Show

C. H. Totty stated that he had nothing new to report
regarding the coming show, save to say that prospects
were excellent. He firmly believed that they would
have a better exhibition than any previously held.

Burpee's New Dahlia for 1921

COPPERSMITH Dahlia is an ideal garden variety which is unsur-
passed for cutting or general decorative work. The habit of the plant is
perfect, the growth sturdy and upright and only of medium height.

COPPERSMITH blooms early and continuously and is most florif-
erous. The plants are literally smothered with flowers, which are borne
clear above the foliage on stiff, wiry stems. In type it is midway between
Peony-flowered and Duplex.

One of the outstanding features of COPPERSMITH is its glorious
Autumn color, which may be described as a pleasing shade of light copper
or bronze with a glistening-like suffusion of salmon-yellow. The reverse
side of the petals is reddish bronze.

For the past three seasons COPPERSMITH has been one of the
most admired varieties in our Dahlia fields at Fordhook. Although
brilliant in daytime, the unique color of COPPERSMITH is intensified
under artificial light. Awarded Certificate of Merit at the Dahlia Show
of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, September, 1920.

Strong Roots, $2.00 each; 3 for $5.00; $20.00 per doz, postpaid.

WE are now beginning our forty-fifth year in the seed business and cannot help but feel gratified at the
large following of customers that our many years of faithful service have brought us. The fact that
our customers come to us year after year proves that our seeds have been satisfactory, and that
has always been our aim — to supply seeds of such high quality that those who buy them will be perfectly
satisfied with the results they produce and come back for more the next year.

Then, too, a satisfied customer tells his friends about the excellent results he has had with our seeds and
more buyers are added to our lists as a result. That is how our business has grown. We have striven to
always supply the best seeds — our customers have done our advertising. To our satisfied patrons we would
say that our service in the future will be of the same high class as it has been in the past, and to those who
have never purchased seeds from us we say, give us a trial — ^you will then join the ranks of those who have
bought from us for years, and to whose faithful advertising we owe the success of our business.

New York Seed Trade

There is a tenae look on the faces of
the proprietors and employees in ail of
the seed stores in this city this week.
All of the employees are hustling, in fact
any employee in a seed store who is un-
willing to hustle at this time of the year
soon hnds that he is not wanted. In the
seed packeting departments the girls are
blowing open the paper packets and bags,
measuring out and putting in the seeds
and plying the paste brush. There is not
much counter trade yet, but, as we stated
last week, it is beginning and there is a
little more of it now than there was ten
days ago. The mailing departments, how-
ever, are very busy tilling orders stimu-
lated by the distribution of the catalogs,
nearly all of which have been sent out,
and also in filling the orders which the
many travelers on the road are sending
in. We would not be willing to assert
or guess or bet that the seed business
at this time in general is larger than it
was last year, but everybody is optimistic,
and according to all htmian experience
optimism brings a great deal more busi-
ness than pessimism.

Frank C. Woodruff, of S. D. Woodruff
& Sons, 187 Washington st., accompanied
by Mrs. Woodruff, have returned from
Florida, where they have been taking a
Winter vacation of several weeks. They
spent the first week at Rockledge, another
at Interlachen, and a third at Palm Beach.
They left the last named resort on Friday,
Feb. H and reached this city on Sunday
evening, Feb. 13.

Mr. Woodruff reports that he is much
rested and benefited by his vacation, and
his looks certainly corroborate his state-
ments. He reports that they found it
quite warm in Florida, and that he was
glad in coming back, to find the weather
so moderate in New York. Mr. Wood-
ruff says he finds on his return business
going as usual and that his firm is very
busy putting up orders, and that the out-
look is, that it will be so until the end
of the season. He called upon a number
of Southern seedsmen and says that he
found them in optimistic mood and look-
ing forward to a season of large sales.

J. M. Thorburn & Co., are unusually
busy with their mail and travelers' orders.
They say the outlook is good for at least
a normally large season's business.

The Stumpp & Walter Co. reports that
orders are coming in very freely and are
ahead of last season at this time. The
firm is looking forward to a good Spring.

E. HoUberg, who has been connected
with the seed business in this city for
many years, both as a traveler and store
salesman, but who left the business tempo-
rarily during the war to take a position
with the Western Electric Co., will leave
this company about March 1 and will
enter again the seed selling field.

M. Aronowitz, proprietor of the Barclay
Nursery, who for several months has been
suffering from a severe attack of rheu-
matism and undergoing hospital treat-
ment, is now sufficiently recovered to be
home again, and it is hoped that after a
little he will be able to return to busi-
ness. During Mr. Aronowitz's illness the
business has been carried on in a very
efficient manner by Mrs. Aronowitz.

Chicago Seed Trade

Several Holland bulb salesmen signify
their intention of returning home immedi-
ately, and will not wait for whatever de-
velopments the Chicago bulb forces associa-
tion may bring fortli later in the season.

Guy W. French, who has been repre-
senting the American Bulb Co. on the
Pacific Coast, is on his homeward trip,
and reports business good with the trade
in the Far West.

Henderson's Seed Store is undergoing a
thorough pi'ocess of decoration and orna-
mentation. Workmen have had possession

all the past week. It will be an attrac-
tive store in which to display Spring stock
when improvements are complete.

Vaughan's Seed Store mailed the past
week the greatest portion of its 1921 re-
tail catalog. J. C. Vaughan has returned
from a trip to New York and other im-
portant centers in the East.

Some Notable Cannas

The introduction of the variety
King Humbert has probably done more
to popularize the Canna than the intro-
duction of any other sort cultivated, ex-
cepting possibly Florence Vaughan secured
from a noted French grower by Miss
Florence "Vaughan (now Mrs. Carl Cropp)
while on a visit to France.

Yellow King Himibert, a sport with
green foliage> however, found a welcome
with that part of the public that had ob-
tained a surfeit of the bright orange red
flower of King Humbert. There has been
recently noted a desire on the part of the
public for a green foliage Canna with all
of the attributes of the Humbert family
and of flaming color, a condition possibly
brought about because of the late war.
Firebird introduced by Vaughan's Seed
Store found a wonderful sale.

Now comes the President, a variety of
American origin, a most brilliant red with
clean "emerald green" foliage and a won-
derful free flowering habit.

The dormant roots of this variety are
offered by several prominent flrms but
are, as yet, probably too expensive to
grow for general plant sales. Still, every
florist should plant a limited number of
this variety in their show grounds or
better still, line out a few hundred plants
for stock. It is predicted to be a

The Dutch Bulb Situation

Many growers throughout the I
country are experiencing the sad fact that
a large part of their bulb stock is coming
blind and deformed and are wondering,
considering the high prices which they
paid for bulbs the past season, whether
they will come out even for the cost of
bulbs. This is particularly so among the '
growers who supply the Chicago whole- |
sale market on a commission basis. The
situation in some of the larger mid-West-
ern cities has become so tense, that organ- !
izations have been formed In some of the
large centers, particularly Chicago, to
consider the issue at large. At a recent
meeting of the bulb forces of Chicago,
several members of Holland flrms were
asked to explain the why and wherefore
of the situation. Expressions were passed,
but as one Dutch grower and exporter
to America of many years' experience re-
marked "Consider gentlemen, while Hol-
land has not literally been at war, her
geographical surroundings were such, that
a large army was maintained, and in eon-
sequence many bulb caretakers were taken
from the bulb friends." There are many
theories advanced, but this is the most
feasible. From the determination of the
bulb growers, it is an assured fact that
the Hollanders will have to wait until
after Easter or probably until the entire
crop of bulbs under cultivation at present
have developed before buying for another
year.

The seed houses, jobbers and importers
other than growers have not joined the
association and are free to buy under
present conditions and prices if they so
wish, but with many of them, the im-
pression is there is nothing to be gained
by immediate buying; conditions may im- \
prove later on, and it will be interesting
to await the development of the action ,
of the bulb forces.

Holland salesmen in the city will not !
discuss the situation, saying they prefer I
the American growers to figure it out for j
themselves. It is the general impression,
however, that the Dutch growers will meet '
the si tuation in a satisfactory manner I
whenever they are given an opportunity I
1 to do so. '

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

Much j ustified dis-
satisfaction against the
Dutchmen is the general
prevaiHng sentiment here.
Notwithstanding their
broadcast statements of
crop shortage, an enor-
mous quantity of Dutch
Bulbs was dumped on
our market last Fall, part
of which was offered at
often half the prices or-
ders had been booked at,
and part sold by auction
at any old price. So long
as the florists here con-
tinue placing orders with
the Dutchmen, they risk
a recurrence. It is to
the advantage of the flo-
rist trade to place their
orders only with reliable
importers. Through the
Dutchmen booking or-
ders from the florists here,
a demand is created from
the growers which is an
incentive in maintaining
prices. Were the buying
of Dutch Bulbs concen-
trated and in the control
of a limited number of
experienced buyers, with-
out a shadow of doubt,
the prices would be ad-
justed to meet conditions.
We can take care of your
order and supply you
with reliable Dutch Bulbs
— along with French and
Lily Bulbs.

The Florists* Exchange

!

SeedTrade — (Continued from page 405
Canadian Seed Notes

John Stammes, of Stammes & Co., bulb
growers and exporters, Hillegom, Hol-
land, is calling on the trade in Toronto.
When seen by The Exchange representa-
tive he was quite enthusiastic about the
trade outlook. He laughed at the story
in the local papers about the "Flying
Dutchman" and said trade was so good,
it took him longer than he had planned,
so he could not be included in that class.
He found the florists and seedsmen in
Toronto very cordial, and he was evident-
ly enjoying himself. He left on Wednes-
day for Ottawa and Montreal where he
will call on the trade before returning
to New York. His headquarters there
are: care of E.. F. Lang, 82 and 84 B'way.

Dutch bulb travelers have visited Brit-
ish Columbia and have given the bulb
industry there another impetus. One
bulb grower from Holland stated that con-
ditions in parts of the province are ideal
for bulb growing. At the present time,
bulbs are grown at Hammond, B. C, and
Victoria, B. C, and other places, but the
grower referred to stated that there is
no reason why the industry could not be
developed and become one of the staple
industries of the Province.

A dispatch from a Rhode Island State
College this week told of the discovery
of a fertilizer which would kill weeds
and not vegetation. In the opinion of
H. T. Swain of Carters Tested Seeds, Inc.,
the claims are doubtful. J. G. Purvis,
manager of the Wm. Rennie Co., thought
that the qualities of the fertilizer are
being exaggerated; most fertilizers have
certain chemical properties that will help
kill weeds.

Mr. Hardacre of Geo. Keith & Son, seed
merchants, has gone into another line of
business and has been succeeded by H.
Milloy, who has been connected with Geo.
Keith & Son for many years.

Hopkins-Hamilton Seed Co., Ltd., Man-
dimo, B. C, have been incorporated with
a capital of $25,000, and have acquired
the greenhouse, seed and nurserymen busi-
ness formerly carried on by Chas. H.
Hopkins.

Tariff Hearing at Washington

Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers Ass'n and
American Seed Trade Ass'n seek to pre-
vent upward revision of seed tariff.

Opposition to the removal of seeds from
the free list, and the imposition of duty
upon imports was expressed before the
House Committee on Ways and Means on
Feb. 12 by William G. Scarlett, of Balti-
more, president of the Wholesale Grass
Seed Dealers' Ass'n; Curtis Nye Smith,
of Boston, for the American Seed Trade
Ass'n; F. W. Bolgiauo, of Washington,
and Marshall H. Duryea, president of the
Nungesser Dickinson Seed Co., New York.

Speaking for the seed men, Mr. Scarlett
declared that the placing of a duty on
seed imports would materially handicap
the domestic seed trade. "Measured in
terms of dollars, the fields seed business
of this country may not represent an im-
posing total," he told the committee, ^'but
when we come to figure the effect, we find
totals which challenge our attention. Take
the annual hay crop of America, for ex-
ample : we find its average value from
1914 to 1918 to be $1,309,167,000, a sum
greater than the pre-war cost of our
National Government. Our annual hay
crop, vast as it is, does not begin to ade-
quately measure the extensive use of grass
and legume seed in American agriculture,
for you must remember that a large per-
centage of seed sold is used to raise crops
for green manuring. Thus, we may read-
ily see that this industry is no trivial
side-issue, but indeed is one which lies
at the very basis of our American agri-
culture.

"I shall be very brief in my remarks,
and shall confine them entirely to the
grass and field seed side of our trade. I
shall endeavor to show good and sufficient
reason why clover, grass and field seeds
should be left upon the free list. As you
doubtless know, our country produces an
over-supply of certain kinds of seed, which
it cannot consume, but must export, while
it does not produce sufficient of other
kinds to supply our home demand. Amer-
ica is normally in a position to export
large quantities of Timothy, Kentucky
Blue Grass, Meadow Fescue and Red Top;
the average exports of Timothy seed from
1909 to 1920 were 14,281,755 pounds;
while at the same time she is under the
necessity of importing large supplies of

Clovers, such as Red, Crimson, Alsike,
Alfalfa and White Clover, Canada Blue
Grass, Orchard and Rye Grass, Rape and
Vetches. The voliune is small in tonnage
and value, but the results are great. An
import tax would produce a very small
revenue. The bad influence on the Amer-
ican farmer would far outweigh the small
gain from revenue collected.

"If America places import duties upon
seeds now on the free list, it is reason-
able to expect that foreign coxmtries will
promptly retaliate with duties aimed
against our export trade in seeds. This
Congress has just recently passed legisla-
tion designed to encourage foreign trade,
and here surely is a specific instance
where foreign trade can be furthered by
simply allowing existing conditions to
continue unmodified.

"Inasmuch as we already have a care-
fully enacted and rigidly enforced Federal
Seed Import Act, which effectually pre-
vents seed of inferior and unknown qual-
ity from gaining entrance into America,
import duties are not needed as protec-
tion against the 'dumping' of low-grade
European seeds in this country. Import
duties on field seeds would tend too arti-
ficially restrict stocks, and thus hold up
American seed prices and increase the
cost to the ultimate consmner, the
farmer.

"As I have intimated before, America
is largely dependent upon foreign pro-
duction. We depend on Canada for our
supplies of Canada Blue Grass and Alsike,
and upon foreign countries for our Red,
White, Crimson and Alfalfa Clover, Or-
chard Grass, Rye grasses, and majority of
natural grasses, Rape Seed and vetches.
It is estimated that the United States'
annual requirements of all Clover seed is
115,000,000 pounds. The United States'
annual production is estimated at 80,000,-
000 pounds, leaving a deficit of 35,000,000
pounds to be made up by importations.

"Under the compelling force of supply
and demand, the seed business today is in
the throes of deflation to pre-war levels
of prices, and if it is left to itself, and not
hedged about by artificial import ob-
stacles, it may be reasonably expected to
adjust itself to a normal basis which will
will be of lasting and immense benefit to
American agriculture." E. A. D.

The Week at the Capital

C. 0. D. parcels which cannot, for any
reason, be delivered within 30 days, are
hereafter to be returned by postmasters,
xmder orders, which have just been issued
by the Post Office Department.

Parcels which bear the return postage
guaranty of the senders, will be returned
at the expiration of that time, postage
collect; where no such guaranty appears
upon the package, the sender will be noti-
fied to furnish return postage.

The grounds about the White House
are to be made a real garden spot, accord-
ing to plans which have been completed
by the office of public buildings and
grounds. When Mr. Harding takes pos-
session, the work will be well along to-
ward completion, and this Summer will
find 1600 Pennsylvania ave. a veritable
bower of flowers.

Workmen already have started to beau-
tify the grounds along elaborate ideas
worked out by government landscape gard-
eners. All the plans were submitted to
Mrs. Harding, who gave them her ap-
proval before they were put into effect.

Within the past few days, more than
5000 Pansy plants of various colors have
been planted in the North and South
grounds. Besides these, many Tulips have
been planted. The Rose gardens are to
be increased in size, and some new varie-
ties planted. When the gardens are com-
pleted, it is expected that the White
House collection of Roses will be one of
the best in the country. E. A. D.

Louisville Ky,

A goodly crowd was present at the
meeting of the Kentucky Society of
Florists at the Watterson Hotel, on the
evening of Feb 9, at which newly elected
officers were installed as follows: Presi-
dent, Louis Pleiss; vice-president, Milton
Reimers; corresponding secretary, Joseph
L. Able; financial secretary, George
Nantz; treasurer, Louis Kirch; sergeant-
at-arms, Herbert G. Walker.

Valentine's Business Good, Easter
Promising:

Valentine's Day business in Louis-
ville this year was good, a large volume of
orders having been placed with the re-
tailers on the Friday and Saturday prior
to the event, while orders started coming
in several days before that. Plants were
in especially good demand.

George Schulz of the Jacob Schulz Co.,
reports a very fair voliune of business and
excellent prospects for Easter. The com-
pany is planning shortly to redecorate
the interior of the store, the walls and
ceilings having been discolored as a result
of a fire in rooms overhead.

Joe Able, of C. B. Thompson & Co.,
reports that business has been good with
that concern, although there hasn't been
any especially large volume from any one
direction. Social activity this year has
created more business than at any time
since before the war.

Local growers have had a very easy
season insofar as coal is concerned, the
thermometer never having gone as low as
zero. Some fiorists will in consequence,
carry over a good deal of high priced coal
this year; others who were not so heavily
stocked are now getting much cheaper
fuel than had been anticipated, as good
mine run is selling at the mines at $2.50
a ton, and screenings as low as $1.25 a
ton.

Seed Market Good, Onion Sets Low

The seed market has been fairly ac-
tive and packet seeds of garden and flower
varieties are now moving. Field seed
business is also good. Truckers are buy-
ing stock for planting in coldframes, hot-
beds, etc. Onion sets have gone to pieces,
the market dropping fast and much con-
signment stock being offered. Ten cars
of consignment sets from the Chicago dis-
trict came on the local market during the
week, and are offered at prices ranging
from 65c. a bushel for yellows, to $1 a
bushel for the best whites.

It is claimed by some of the florists
that small growers of Narcissi and some
of the other stocks, have been hard hit
this year, running into a sliunp in fimeral
work, and a dull market. This resulted
in their being imable to hold back the
stuff and forced to take some losses.

Violets are not being grown much in
this section today, nor are they shown
to any extent. They wilt so rapidly that
consumers have turned to Sweet Peas and
other flowers which hold up longer.

Roses are in good supply and in good
shape. Carnations are a little scarce.
There is no real shortage of anything
right now, however. O.V. N. S.

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

This year St. Valentine Day's business
was different in many ways from 1920.
The plant end last year cut quite a figure,
but it was owing to the great shortage
of cut flowers. It was just the reverse
this season. While all the retail stores
did a bang up business, the bright weather
had a tendency to produce more of some
lines than could be profitably handled. This
seemed true of orchids, single and double
Violets, Freesia, and short stemed Sweet
Peas. Roses held their own and were
good sellers; Carnations were fairly well
cleaned up.

There was no advance in prices, and
some Violets were offered at your own
price. Freesia was in the same boat.

Some very good Mignonette was sold at
6c. ; Cattleyas were slow, some of the
very best at $1 per bloom.

The S. S. Pennock Co. were featuring
fine California Heather, some of it on
36in. stems. This stock is beautiful.

Sweet Peas, fancy long stem stock, sold
at $3 per 100, the short at $1 and hard
to move at that.

One prominent wholesale man said **he
had tons of Freesia left over" but most
of this was very short. Both Easter
Lilies and Callas sold well.

Of other stock there was a good clean
up, but while it was a busy day in this
market, it did not quite carry the snap
and swing of former years.

AkehuTst & Sons Inc., Changes Hands

The name of Akehurst has been
identified with the growing of Carnations
in Maryland for many years. Not
merely an enviable local reputation, but
nation-wide, through the growing and
shipping of field grown stock and rooted
cuttings of the divine flower. The splen-

did business ability, and carefifl manage- i
ment of the senior member of the firm i
has built up and carried this modern, up- i
to-date concern into keen competition with ■
some of the largest Carnation growing j
establishments of the East. For the past i
year or so, Mr. Akehurst has contem-
plated a well earned rest from the stren-
uous labors of the business by retiring ,
after 44 years of activity.

The deal went through last week, and ,
the new corporation is now in charge.
In the bill of sale, Mr. Akehurst has con-
sented to manage the growing end for a i
few more months. The incorporators, and i
directors of the new company are:

President H. Clay Primrose, President '
of the London Nurseries.

Vice-President Wm. A, Gillespie, State i
Auditor of Maryland.

Secretary and Treasurer Geo. J. Golds- >
borough, of Goldsborough & Goldsborough,
Inc.

C. A. Mullinis, secretary and treasurer.
Woodbine Candy Co., Woodbine, Md.

A. J. Sheeler, of Ward & Sheeler, of I
Baltimore City.

Roy V. Tydings, president of the Con- »
solidated Remedy Corporation. '

We understand the small block of pre- '
f erred stock that remains unsold, will be i(
placed on the market in a few days.

Goldsborough & Goldsborough, Inc., are t
the fiscal agents of the company.

This property is situated within a few •
miles of the center of Baltimore City
upon a tract containing about 25 acres
of well watered, fertile land. Ten green-
houses, covering 150,000ft. of glass heated
by steam, with six large boilers, all the
stock, machinery, tools and material on
the place, were taken over by the com-
pany. R. H.

Personal and Field Notes

No words are necessary to emphasize
the beauty of Calanthe Regnieri as groivn
by George Morrison at Uplands. To see
this beautiful orchid in perfect form and
color, is indeed a glorious sight. There
were probably 100 pieces of this variety
in the block and all with the imprint of
real class and beauty. Phalaenopsis
Schilleriana, and Amabilis were also in
fine shape and flower. Mr. Morrison's
hobby is orchids, and he has a notable
collection.

But speaking of prize collections, the
Cinerarias, from seed of his own breed-
ing, are truly in the medal division. Par-
ticularly charming in color, shape and
size of flower are the Matador, Stellata,
and Cactus types, ranging from velvet
crimson maroon to a perfect sky blue that
defies description This high bred strain
of show Cinerarias has been improved
year by year, through skillful handling
and selection, until now there is not one
sad color in the entire group.

George J. Muhly, the well known
South Charles st. florist, has been ill with
a severe attack of rheiunatism for the
past two weeks. We are happy to report
his steady improvement.

Charles T. Siegwart has the largest
collection of conunercial orchids in Mary-
land and his Easter crop of Cattleyas
this yeai- — judging by the splendid condi-
tion of the plants and the number of
buds now showing — will be larger than
ever. Last year's cut totaled 5000 blooms
during Easter week. The local branch of
the Leo Nissen Co., will, as usual, handle
the entire crop.

Walter Gray, of Catonsville, is much
pleased with his new Lord & Burnham
boiler. He is also optimistic about Easter
business this year. He is surely in evi-
dence with a big batch of bulbous stock,
Calla Lilies, Cinerarias, Primulas, Geran-
iums and Pot Roses, all in the best con-
dition. 1

Charles W. Wagner, in charge of Capt.
Isaac E. Emerson's greenhouses, at Brook-
landwood, in the Green Spring Valley,
has mapped out a line of Spring planting |
of fancy evergreens, ornamental trees and*
shrubbery that will add beauty to thit'
stately old colonial estate, which is con-
sidered one of the finest in Maryland.

Fred C. Bauer, of Govan's has a good>^
ly number of seedling Lilies of thci
giganteum, and formosum type, and hat I
promised to give the readers of THB
Flokists' Exchange the benefit of his ex-
perience along this line. We hope t(
have his paper on seedling Lilies in the
near future.

The window decorations for Valentine'*
Day were quite unique, beautiful and ii
keeping with this particular flower day
At this writing reports are not all in
but all the stores had the busy look ant
plenty of action to back it up. R. H.

Perennials

Mai'be in the rush of things, you
noKlectcd to sow peronuials, but there is
gtill plenty of time for doing it. There
arc quite a number of desirable things
which can be started now to good advan-
tajje and most of them will flower this
Summer, while the others will be at the
very best the second year. I keep on
talking perennials and so-called hardy
stock, because I am so convinced of the
fact that it pays every florist who does
a retail business, to handle such stock;
there is an ever increasing demand for it.
Delphiniums, Achillea, Shasta Daisies and
Gaillardias sown now, will all flower
this Summer or Fall. Anchusa italica
Dropmore variety, Aquilegia and Pyre-
thrums, will all make heavy plants for
next Fall, but won't flower until the
second year. Plant and keep on planting
more perennials; stock up with the best
there is to be had. Plant Phlox, Iris,
Peonias, hardy Asters, Rudbeckias and
Boltonias: anything and everything that
is of value in the hardy border. Your
customers during Spring, will want them
and they will keep on wanting more each
year.

Pansies

If you have Pansies out in a frame
and they are of good size, a few plants
can be lifted now and, if possible, with
a little soil clinging to the roots. Planted
on a bench in a 45 deg. house, they will
be in full bloom by Easter, w'lien you can
make up some pans with them, for which
there is a ready sale. If you sowed out
seed during January, transplant the seed-
lings as soon as you can get ahold of
them; allow 2in. of space between them
and set the flats on a sunny bench in a
cool house, or on a shelf. With fair

weather, tlie plants can go to a frame
during the latter part of March. Have
you taken a look at the plants outdoors,
sucli as had a covering put on last Decem-
ber':' In many sections of the country, it
has been a mild Winter thus far and
Pansies can't stand a heavy covering, and
are liable to rot or damp off if not
looked after. A good way would be to
just raise the covering a Uttle to let air
reach the plants. The same holds good
with Bellis or Forget-me-nots and even
some of the heeled in hardy stock. At
least it doesn't hurt to look them over
now.

Tomatoes

It seems a little early to talk about
starting vegetable plants for Spring sales,
but this may interest you. During May
and June every retail grower usually has
calls for such plants, and among your
customers, you have no doubt some who
think 25c. a doz. for Tomatoes the limit.
They may buy six doz. at that price, al-
though only seedlings, no matter how
small, when they would be much better
off to buy two doz. good plants at 75c,
They would get more Tomatoes off such.
Again we have people who are willing to
spend a dollar and over for well estab-
lished pot grown plants, and there are
still others who don't mind paying 50c.
apiece for just a few plants if you can
show them stock in 5in. pots, neatly tied
up on a 2ft. stake with two or three green
fruits and full of flowers. To have such,
sow John Baer now and grow the plants
in a 52 deg. house in full sunlight. This
will in a way stunt their growth some-
what; they will remain short and stocky.
Keep them shifted and by the middle of
May they will all have Tomatoes on. Try
a few.

Chrysanthemums

With mild weather prevailing, even in
a cold house, the stock plants of the Chry-
santhemums will start into growth. For
all of that, they should be brought to a
48 or 50 deg, house now and planted on a
sunny bench. If you have a batch of
plants which are beginning to make a
rapid growth, and you don't want to start
propagating yet, pinch their tops out and
get a good crop of cuttings in about three
weeks from now. From March on, up
to the middle of April, is a good time
to root all of your early sorts and if you
can, make all the cuttings you want of
any one sort at the same time. You will
obtain a more even lot of plants in your
bench later on. If you intend, growing
on some extra heavy pot plants for your
retail trade, the cuttings of such should
be rooted anytime now, and, after they
are established in small pots, it is a mat-
ter of keeping them pinched and shifted
in order to obtain short, bushy specimens.
The Cap family is still one of the very
best. For pot culture and cuttings rooted
as late as April, will develop into nice
plants.

Hotbeds and Frames

These are times when the retail grower
who needs space during the Spring months,
will appreciate hotbeds and frames more
than ever, and the sooner we get things
in shape, the better. Before we know it,
it will be time to get the first framei
ready to give us relief inside. If you
have repairing to do, get at it without
delay. A tight sash means keeping the
heat in and the cold out, also less drip
on the plants inside. If you are ready
to put manure in a frame and you have
to shovel 2ft. of snow off first to get into

the frame, that isn't very pleasant. Frames
intended to be used in a month from now
are best covered with sashes to keep
off snow or heavy rains; it means a great
saving of time later on and less manure
to get things warmed up. It may also
be well to consider investing in a few
new sashes and thereby increase your

flass area. I consider hotbeds or cold-
rames every bit as much value to the
florist who grows Spring stock as green-
house space, and they usually will pay
for themselves in a very short time. They
can be stored away when through the
Spring rush.

Vincas

Your varigated and green Vincas should
now get their final shift or, if you have
large plants on hand, divide them now
and pot up into 3%'s. Place on a sunny
bench in a Carnation house. For the
present, they won't make much growth,
but the roots will be active and toward
the middle of March, the plants will start
to get busy. On the other hand, if you
stunt them now, or allow the plants to
remain under some bench, you can't ex-
pect much from the plants later on. A
Vinca likes a moist atmosphere, and
rather more than a Carnation tempera-
ture during March and April, that is the
reason some men have them in a Rose
house during that time. Along the edge
of the benches, they produce wonderful
plants in small sized pots, and that is
the kind that counts. When you have
window boxes to fill, they give you im-
mediate effect, one good one is worth
three poor ones, and won't take up as
much space in a box. Koot some cuttings
whenever you have them and with a
little bottom heat, you get 100 per cent
to root and do it quick.

Carnation Laddie

In illustrating the above variety, the
Gardener's Chronicle, London, makes some
flattering references to its quality as
shown at the R. H. S., and British Car-
nation Society shows in December last.

It may be said that the B. C. S. stand-
ard of judging new varieties is excep-
tionally severe; at least three flowering
plants in pots together with at least 12
flowers have to be shown, and no matter
how fine the flowers may be, if the plants
fall down on points as regards future pro-
duction, no award is possible. At least 75
points must be scored for an A. M.

Laddie under the test scored 81 points.
It is worth noting too, that a red sport
of Laddie is reported, but where it origi-
nated is not stated. Take 'em all together.
Laddie^ seems to have impressed British
Carnation growers immensely.

Dahlia Trials in England

The Royal Horticultural Society in
conjunction with the National Dahlia So-
ciety of England is planning to conduct
a big series of trials at the famous Wisley
gardens. The primary object is to dis-
cover the really good things for garden
decoration, but all types may be sent in.

The official grouping of classes by the
R. H. S. and N. D. S. Committees is:
Cactus, Dwarf Bedding Cactus, Decora-
tive, Small Decorative, Peony large.
Peony small. Single, Collarette, Star, Pom-
pon, Show and Fancy. It is worth noting
that no Hybrid Cactus class is recognized;
here is a chance for our raisers to put
one over.

Six plants are asked for, same to be
sent to the R. H. S. gardens, Wisley, Rip-
ley, Surrey, Eng,, by April 30. Failing
plants, we assume, roots will be accepted.

Indiana Horticultural Society

The January bulletin of the above so-
ciety contains some useful hints regarding
Peach culture by Prof. B. S. Pickett, of
the University of Illinois. His conclu-
sions are, that no one should undertake
to grow Peaches unless willing to cultivate
and fertilize thoroughly.

We may add that the same reservation
applies to practically every plant. If one
desires success, it must be thoroughly
worked for.

Missouri Botanical Garden

The bulletin for January is almost en-
tirely given over to the 32nd aimual re-
port of Director George T. Moore. Of
special interest is the series of portraits
of Henry Shaw, the founder of the famous
St. Louis gardens, showing him as he was
between the years 1835 and 1888. We
see him as a young man with the inevit-
able sideboards and high collar in 1835,
and note the changes as recorded by the
camera and artist in 1850, 1865, 1870,
1873, 1884, 1885, 1887 and 1888.

Throughout the series, it is plainly evi-
dent that Henry Shaw through life pos-
sessed a kindly eye and a benevolent
spirit.

New Jersey State Agricultural
Experiment Station

The fortieth annual report, before ua,
overwhelms us with its immensity. Its
stiff covers embrace some 600 pages,
which are given up to a multitude of sub-
jects relating to agricultural and horti-
cultural tests and experiments.

We are held up by the references to
Carnation breeding, wherein it is stated
that White Perfection and Matchless lose
the male sexual quality at certain periods
and, that this character can be earned
along until the male influence no longer
exists, in other words, there is no pollen,
or it is unfertile.

Vegetable seed experiments and reports
on plant diseases are also recorded,
while fruit, poultry, and cattle naturally
receive a large measure of attention.

Shade Trees vs. Awnings

Note Man's and Nature's Methods of Shading. Nurserymen may well say, "Make it with Trees"

Surely the nurseryman needs
no better advertisement for the
value and use of trees for street
planting to beautify and give
shade than is indicated in this
scene. Real estate operators
should not be permitted to over-
look planting trees on the side-
walk. Trees add to the value
of a property and that they are
looked for by the purchaser of
a new home is evidenced from
the builder's excuse for planting
trees too close (16ft. to 20ft
ipart) — everybody wants one. It
is really difficult to enforce the
rule for better spacing which
would allow one tree for every
two houses.

Where a good, generous por-
tion of refreshing shade is
wanted, the upholsterer cannot
compete successfully with Na-
ture; nurserymen may well say
"Make it with Trees."

College Training in Nursery Processes

^e Permanent Fund Idea Applied to the Needs of
the Nursery Business by One Who Knows It —
An Interesting Proposal for All Employers
to Consider

IThose two articles in The Exchange — that of Dec. 11,
20, and that of Jan. 7, 1921 — are most interesting.
One suggestion was that the interest on the S. A. F.'s
srmanent Fund of $50,000 be used to assist worthy
lung men to obtain a course in college to fit them better
r work as florists. That is a very practical suggestion
Id yet it is leavened with the sentiment of helpfulness,
lould that suggestion bear fruit it will be of rare color
Id quality.

Now, if the nurserymen could take up that idea and
tig some of the trade's ambitious and promising young
en in the same way, it would be a fine thing; and
lactical, too. In both departments of the trade, some-
ling like that seems to be really necessary. The best raa-
rial could be selected and assisted. Then, the young
en- who have already become somewhat acquainted with
irsery processes through actual contact, would be the
les likely to derive most benefit from a college course,
believe that the boy who has to work his way through
Mlege is more apt to succeed in whatever he undertakes
^an the one who does not have to make that effort. On
le other hand, the apprentice seldom draws wages that
irmit the saving of the cost of a college course; how-
rer, if helped to it, he could earn enough- more
;-cause of his better equipment, to repay such advance.
;.s none of the nursery associations have a permanent
ijnd, might not the suggestion be considered by each
lidividual nurseryman as something in the interest of
is own production department?
Surely', the nurserymen need more trained men. In
le European nurseries, practically all the nursery work
.- done by trained men. They grow up in the business ;
Jiey are fixtures and their sons follow them. That is
tEcause of the more stable conditions in the older coun-
"ies with their well understood class distinctions. In
•ngland the village smithy is the son of yesterday's
nithy and he expects his son to follow him at the same
orge. Over here, he would probably try to send the
oy off to college and plan to have him study law or
.omething else equally useless and profitable. Today's
'-impers are often the tailored togs of tomorrow. The
'ansformation is often an economic loss, too. Here,
'oung men are always seeking to "better" themselves,
I'hatever that may mean. At any rate, few young men

who start at tying buds in the nursery are content to re-
main with their jobs long. They want to get into the
"white collar" class. It is characteristic of us that we
regard too highly the professions and put too low an es-
timate on the status of the artisan and the skilled work-
man. We present the paradox of the greatest democracy
being the most snobbish of nations.

Our young men have seen, particularly of late,
factories paying better wages with shorter hours. The
outside men see those in the office who run sales depart-
ments, under pleasanter working conditions and, to them,
with less effort, making more money than they make.
To grow trees and to grow them properly and to turn
out a block that means a profit, requires skill. There
is always one right time to do anything that requires to
be done in the nursery. The time to bud and the time
to make up cuttings wait on no man. Profitable results
earn profitable pay. Labor — I mean manual labor —
should never be regarded as a commodity to be bought on
the basis of supply and demand. There is nothing in the
present industrial situation that stands out so prominently
as the employers' recognition of the principle of equity
in the distribution of profits to labor and to capital.

In the nursery industry, instead of making prices and
then finding out what those prices will warrant paying
for the production of the goods, why not include, at the
very start, adequate and generous provision for the labor
producing the goods and then base selling prices on that?
Naturally, the immediate reply is that we cannot know
what our goods are going to bring until they have been
sold. The "market" is appealed to as the arbiter. The
"law of supply and demand" has been worked overtime.
It applies to coal and ice and food and all living necessi-
ties but that "law" does not and should not apply to
trees and plants and flowers.

Let us admit that labor is well paid. Right now much
of it is grossly overpaid because of the way things
had to be done under war conditions. Wages are going
down every day. Yet I will risk being set down for a
radical or a heretic or even worse, by saying this : "We
need more trained men, but if we would have them,
we are going to be obliged to pay them, not exactly the
same wages that other industries would pay them, but
more. We shall be obliged to compete with other indus-
tries, and go them one better."

That does not apply to unskilled labor, but it does apply
to the skilled men. Budders and those responsible for
results — responsible for profits — should be considered in
a separate class from ordinary labor. The unskilled
must get less and the skilled labor more. The careless

or the unskilled worker whose rows turn out badly,
or the ignorant worker whose mistake costs you a law-
suit with some planter, is a poor investment at any
price. The man who can improve the quality of your
stock and increase your output is worth the same consid-
eration as the man who increases your sales. It is an
altogether practical matter ; it is just a question of lay-
ing out the money invested in the way to make it brmg
the most profit. If we educate young men for outdoor
work, we must give them assurance of permanency and
advancement. As in other industries, we must put into
our goods every value and advantage possible and the
public will pay for what it wants.

Labor now gets a very large share— the major share,
indeed — of the gross nursery income, only this share has
not always been distributed equitably. There is not
enough difference between the pay of the unskilled and
the skilled workers, nor a just balance between the re-
turns to those who produce the goods and those who sell
them. The proof of that is the history of the nursery
business. Where 25 years ago there was a nursery here
and there, those places have become nursery centers. The
old concerns, like Strawberry plants, have thrown out
runners that have taken root, insecure root, perhaps, but
enough to sap the strength of the parent with inefficiency.
With no assured outlet for these upstart concerns, prices
have always been cut below those of established firms
to the loss of all. Withdrawals from selling forces have,
as a rule, meant only transfers to other selling forces;
but a withdrawal from the production department has
always meant more production begun in a small way, and
because of the necessity for price-cutting in order to
get business, a loss to the parent concern without ma-
terial gain to the new venture.

Is there not some way to hold the propagators in
permanent employment? They have not been so held in
the past. I feel that I am within the facts when I say
that their setting up in business for themselves has not
greatly benefited them as a class, but, on the contrary,
has destroyed untold profits because of the kind of com-
petition it has meant. It would be a great gain if the
propagators could be retained in the established businesses.

This can be done, but only by making their employ-
ment more attractive than the uncertainties of independ-
ent ventures. It can be done by considering them as in
a special class, as very important elements in the success
of the nursery, and then paying them — not on the basis
of supply and demand — but on the basis of the loss
that would result from their withdrawal to grow blocks

Is All Massachusetts Boston

Our contemporary, Horticulture, claims for Boston the
honor of five presidents "in being" in the horticultural
world. This naturally raises the question: Is all Massa-
chusetts Boston? Because Thos. Roland hails from Na-
hant; W. D. Howard from Milford; W. N. Craig from
Brookline (which refuses to be part of Boston although
alongside of it), John Farquhar's business is in Boston,
'tis true; Samuel Goddard hails from Framingham.

This is the way Horticulture puts it :

Five Presidents

Honors continue to come to Boston. If the ball keeps
rolling this way this section can soon organize a society of
presidents. The list as it now stands is as follows:

Thomas Eoland, president of the Society of American
Florists.

W. D. Howard, president of the American Carnation
Society.

W. N. Craig, president of the National Gardeners Asso-
ciation.

John Farquhar, president of the New England Nursery-
men's Association.

Samuel Groddard, president of the New England Growers
Association.

Here is a coincidence such as probably will not come
.again in Boston or any other city for a hundred years.
Is the trade to miss the opportunity? Why not a joint
reception and banquet — a monster combination of aiiairs?
It would be one of the biggest events in the horticultural
history of New England. The Rose Show in April offers
a fitting date. Is it a go?

Responsibility on Both Sides

The recent announcement of the F. H. B., reinforced
by facts secured elsewhere, as to the infestation of a
number of shipments of French nursery (fruit) stocks
with browntail moth, emphasizes the importance of
care and caution on the part of both importer and ex-
porter, if international trade is to be safeguarded
against hampering provisions of excessively strict
quarantine measures.

It is largely within the power of American importers
to compel foreign governments to give the most care-
ful, expert attention to the inspection of shipments — by
simply refusing to buy the moment such inspection
methods begin to appear careless or insufficient. Of
course, it is to their advantage to secure clean ma-
terials, not only to protect their plantations from intro-
duced insect pests, but also to prevent costly delays
and risks attendant upon enforced quarantine and fumi-
gation on this side. Similarly, it is to the advantage of
foreign dealers to see that only clean shipments leave
their countries, since standards of quality mean more
today, in all lines, than ever before.

The F. H. B. announcement calls for especially great
care on the part of State inspectors who, presumably,
are able to give more time to each shipment than are
the Federal agents at the few ports of entry. It also
announces that experiments are being conducted to
ascertain the efficiency of certain fumigation methods.
The fact remains, however, that simultaneously warn-
ings have been issued to French exporters and Ameri-
can importers regarding the numerous browntail infes-
tations of late, which means that if they continue to be
found, all shipments of fruit seedlings from France
will be refused entry, and existing permits will be can-
celed.

It is, actually and strictly, up to the members of the
trade to prevent such a contingency. Let them get
together, importers and exporters, and do it.

Valentines from the Federal
Horticultural Board

Within a fortnight, the trade has received from the
F. H. B. two exceedingly welcome grants or conces-
sions. The first had to do with the importation for a
time of Rhododendron stocks. The second (appearing
elsewhere in this issue) deals with the Board's policy
as to the importation of general stocks for propagation
purposes for the two-year period ending next May 31.
The latter, although referred to as having been adhered
to "for some time past," seems to indicate a recogni-
tion of the fact that opportunities and privileges have
not always been afforded to all on a basis of full equal-
ity, and that to make things right all should now be
treated alike. This is indeed gratifying — even if the
announcement as to the ending of the two-year period
is rather late in appearing.

A policy such as is now avowed by the Board, of
"giving ample opportunity to establish reproduction
enterprises on as large a commercial scale as the mar-
ket demands of this country warrant," if strictly lived
up to, is fair enough to suit anybody. Had such atti-
tude and purpose been frankly set forth from the start,
and had the words and actions of the Board coincided
with such an attitude at all times as closely as it tends
to at present, we believe that much of the controversy
over and opposition to Qu. 37 would never have arisen.
But, as always, "better late than never."

It is gratifying also to read Dr. Marlatt's explana-
tion of the way in which the question of the availability
of any plant is settled in each case by a large com-
mittee, reinforced by many experts and open to con-
viction by any outside accurate information. It is de-
cidedly encouraging to know that the Board itself,
despite its many sources of information, "is perfectly
willing and glad to receive arguments or information
from the applicants" for permits, and that such testi-
mony is likely to lead, as it has led in the past, to a
change of decision.

In this connection we hope that if any growers have
actual facts at hand as to the time necessary for the
production of marketable Rhododendron plants, they
will promptly lay such information before the Board.
Such facts as we have been able to locate do not seem
to indicate that "after June 1, 1932, it will be possible
to supply further needs [of Rhododendron seedling
stocks for example] from home-grown stock," as a
recent statement from the Board affirms will be the case.
Only the other day a practical and experienced grower
repeated an oft-expressed opinion that "neither ought
the prospective buyer feel that in the 'near future' he
will be able to plant his Rhododendron beds. It will
be many years before he will be able to buy plants, say
3ft. high, plants which will really make a show."

Nevertheless, the situation as regards foreign plant
supplies, like the business situation, seems to be easing
up considerably. Between this date and May 31, now
that the F. H. B. has come forward and made its offer
of cooperation in fact as well as name, much can be
done to further relieve the pressure and to provide
for future prosperity. Moreover, in the extent to which
and the spirit in which, the present opportunity is
taken advantage of, are offered valuable chances to
bring all the facts to light, to clear the air still further,
and. to pave the way to additional, legitimate and mu-
tually beneficial concessions and interpretations.

Florida versus California

Why the Difference in Horticultural Activity ?
Is it Soil, Climate, People or What ?

Exchange readers frequently comment on the in-
terest and informational value of its occasional ar-
ticles on the horticultural possibilities of Florida and
California. We wonder whether there also comes to
their minds a question that has often come to ours,
namely. Why the difference in horticultural develop-
ment and progress between these two great empires that
are in some ways so similar?

As a correspondent pointed out in our issue of Feb.
12, Florida is 1500 miles from the great Eastern flower
markets, while California is easily twice as far. In the
mind of the average man the difference is even greater,
for a holiday jaunt to Florida is as nothing to a New
Yorker compared with a round trip to the Pacific
Coast.

Again, Florida has that boon of a humid climate-
ample rainfall the year 'round — as compared with the
aridity of some parts of California and its sharply de-
fined wet and dry seasons in other sections. As to
soils, the crops that have been grown in the Gulf
States prove their fertility under proper management,
and certainly the abundant and varied vegetation men-
tioned in our several articles testifies to the possibili-
ties of the State as far as plant materials is conqerned.

Why. then, do we hear so much of California's
plant wizards, of its horticultural advance and achieve-
ments, of its plant industries, and of the marvellous

wealth thereof and, on the other hand, so little of thf
same activities in Florida? Is it that the facts i ■
whispered from the Southern country, instead
shouted a la California? Or is it that there is mc
truth than poetry in the frequent assertion that t
climate of the Gulf Country brings about a lassitui
a dolce far niente, in short a downright laziness, in a .
newcomer, no matter how great his former ambiti
and energy?

This is not an indictment of Florida. In the fi:
place we don't know that there is any ground for su
and, if there were, we would want to hear a defer
or an explanation before making it. Rather is this
request for information, for facts, for an expressi
of opinion backed up by actual experience.

For one thing, we believe that transportation faci
ties are poorer between Florida and its potential m;
kets than between California and its actual marke
But is this a cause of lessened crop production or
effect of a lack of demand on the part of the growf
for better accommodations?

Again, we understand that Florida exhibits gri
soil variations over relatively small areas — ferti
profitable acres lying right alongside undrained, so
or otherwise worthless property. But, then, Califori
is similarly afflicted, as witness its patches of alkali i
pregnated soil. Moreover, science and experimen'
tion have shown how to correct such soil deficienc
wherever they occur and problems that have b«
solved in the West can just as well be solved in 1
South.

Then there comes the thought, is lack of coope:
tion the explanation? That is, cooperation not oi
in growing and marketing, but also in boosting a
shouting the praises of one's own section, and there
attracting newcomers and the attention of the Ian
But, if so, what element is there in the air of C:
fomia but lacking in that of Florida upon which i
operation thrives?

It has been hinted that Florida is a land of opp
tunity — but not for the man with limited means. Ho
ever, in this respect, too, the dangers of the far W
have often been pointed out and the moral drawn t
where the biggest prizes hide, there is the need of
largest capital with which to seek for them. And,
the other hand, there have come tales of success :
satisfaction on both large and small scales from bi
Florida and California.

Yet the fact remains that, horticulturally, Califor
occupies a far more important position than Florid;
a position that is not explained solely by its larger t -
ritory. Why? 'J I

Who will come forward with answers to some ofV|
question marks of which this article is so largely cc
posed? The subject is an interesting one; it holds
opportunities for Florida, for the South, for the wh
country. As horticulturists we ought to thresh itic

I The Legion Flower

Editor The Florists Exchange:

The Exchange has, from time to time, pririted I
tides telling about the various kinds of Poppies t
might be grown for use of our World War soldiers
Memorial Day and Armistice Day. This article is
tended simply as a reminder that NOW is the time
get busy on this proposition and get your seed order
if you haven' already done so, for Memoria.1 Day \

flowers.

In fact, NOW is the time to actually sell the flow -
or at least to tell the boys that you are going to h ■■
them ready for them to wear. In the American Leg
Weekly there have been appearing advertisements
some manufacturer of artificial Poppies who is soli •
ing trade now for Memorial Day.

In'view of this it would not be amiss for the progi ■
sive florist to sit down and write a little personal r !
to the head of the local Legion post, calling his att ■
tion to the fact that you would have the Poppies
his post on the different holidays. Particular po:l
which might be stressed are that the official flower I
the "Red Poppy" not the "Red Silk Poppy," and tt
trying to express the underlying motive of a Leg i
flower with an artificial substitute would be like t-
ing to express your love of a girl with paper Roses, t
can't be done. Then, too, probably the real flowers '
be sold cheaper than the manufactured article. Price 3

Eighth International Flower Show,
Grand Central Palace, New York,

MARCH 14-20, 1921

With the various promises of support in the way of
interesting exhibits taking material form, all doubt is
removed as to the success of the Eighth International
Flower Show as far as the larger exhibits are con-
cerned. In addition to the big exhibits already re-
ported, our committee is pleased to announce an ex-
hibit by W. R. Coe of Oyster Bay, L. I., of what will
most assuredly be regarded as the most comprehensive
collection of Camellias ever staged in this country, or
perhaps in any other. Plants in tubs, in profusion of
bloom, will be exhibited, and it is expected the number
of varieties will be large, as the collection now pos-
sessed by Mr. Coe numbers 57 varieties. The collec-
tion of cut Camellia blooms Staged by Mr. Coe at the
last show was most interesting and attracted a large
amount of attention. It was especially pleasing to the
older among the public, inasmuch as they saw the
blooms, which, years ago, took the place of the or-
chids and Gardenias of today, and the procuration of
which was always a matter of concern to the florists
of those days.

Another exhibit e-xpected to attract considerable at-
tention will be one composed of cut material from the
greenhouse of Joseph Widener of Elkins, Philadelphia.

The plan of the show, as laid out months ago, is
now practically complete. Competition in the largest
group class is likely to be very keen; entries already
received assuring this. All the other group classes are
well filled, and this year there is an increase in the
entries for the class covering the 500ft. group of flow-
ering plants arranged for effect, orchids excluded, but
suitable accessories allowed. It was difficult in previous
years to secure two entries, but this year there are
three. The prizes in this class amount to $1000.

It has been necessary this season to allot much more
space than customarily for the competitive exhibits,
and the committee is greatly elated over this condition.
It seems more than likely that the final show in the
Grand Central Palace will be the largest and best ever
staged on its floors.

The committee is most earnest in the request made
for small exhibits. Very many florists, and private
growers as well, could stage a vase or two of some
flower or other. Subjects such as Antirrhinum, Wall-
flowers, Iris, Myosotis, or Stocks, for instance, are in-
teresting to everybody, and the more they are seen, the
better for the florists' business.

The official catalog of the show is well under way —
it really should be called a handbook, for it is full of
valuable information on horticultural matters, and is
to be preserved as a book of reference.

Available space in the trade section is growing less
almost daily. Exhibitors in this section evidently ap-
preciate fully the advantages presented by a class ex-
hibition of this kind, which brings prospective cus-
tomer and nurseryman or merchant into personal con-
tact, resulting to the good of each.

Additional exhibitors not previously reported are :
Burlington Willow Ware Shop, Burlington, la. ; Flow-
erfield Co., Bemus Point, N. Y.; W. H. Lutton Co.,
New York; Associated Motors Co., New York; S. A.
Dawson, New York.

The window poster cards, and the large billboard
three sheets are ready; many of the former are already
displayed in florist's windows. The management will
be grateful for the courtesy of proffered assistance in
window display of the poster, and will forward cards
to all who can find a place for them in their establish-
ments. John Young, Sec'y.

garden, but in the grounds surrounding the palace home,
as a bordering for shrubbery and as a background.

Gnu of the great attractions in the Bronx Park, New
York, llie past season was the Dahlia border ; they were
there in full variety, carefully grown, staked and plainly
labeled, and were well looked after by the curator.
The constant stream of visitors, with book and pencil,
taking down names and notes of color and variety,
showed how interesting the Dahlia was to the thousands
visiting the grounds, many having come miles to see the
wonderful show of blooms, and many a list was carried
away to be heard from by some one in the near fu-
ture, as anyone with ordinary intelligence can grow
Dahlias as they saw them growing there. It was virtually
a trial ground, with good results under fair culture, and
any variety doing well there will, with the same treat-
ment, be 99 per cent good anywhere else.

The writer of this recently replied to a published article in
one of the trade papers written by a commission
dealer who wanted dealers to cut the Dahlia out of
the market at a certain period so that other flowers
could have full swing of the market. He will find,
upon examination, that the majority of dealers are
gladly handling good Dahlia blooms whenever they can
procure them, and are requesting the grower to grow
such types as will stand carriage, etc., with good keep-
ing qualities. One or two types of such were shown at
the last New York show and the aim of some of our
best breeders is to produce this class of bloom.

One of the largest wholesale houses handling Dahlias
in quantity, possibly more than any other firm in the
country, writes as follows : "I do not know of anything
that promotes the growing and love of flowers in the
gardens, especially Dahlias by the amateur, more than
the shows and the distribution of well grown flowers
arnong the people." You and others are aware that
this firm has done a great deal in the past ten years to
promote the use of Dahlias as cut flower. The success
we have met with has been gratifying and we feel our-
selves well rewarded for our efforts. When we consider
the Dahlias that we sold eight or ten years ago, and com-
pare them with what we are doing now, both in quality
and volume, we do not think the progress has been ex-
ceeded by any floricultural endeavors. It must be grati-
fying to the American Dahlia Society that the show the
past year was such an enormous success and, if con-
tinued along the lines started, greater success can be
looked for both in the production of better commercial and
all around flowers and of the types that can be used
commercially as wll as give greater satisfaction to the
amateur. Richard Vincent, Jr.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society

SCHEDULE OF 1921 EXHIBITIONS

The Mass. Hort. Society has a notable list of ex-
hibitions scheduled for 1931. First and foremost is
the great exhibition, specializing in Roses, which has
the cooperation of the American Rose Society. This is
from Wednesday to Sunday inclusive, April 6 to 10.
This is to be the greatest Rose show ever staged in this
country, with a prize list larger than offered before —
starting off with a $1000 first prize. Those who know
the methods and aims of this society realize that this
Spring show will be a notable event in horticulure.
There will be orchids also, and the prize list contains
much of interest to growers and exhibitors of other
things. Those who remember the wonderful orchid
show of last Spring will know that something is on
foot when the rosarians are on tiptoe to beat it.

The full list of shows fallows;

April 6-10. Great exhibition of Roses, orchids and
other plants and flowers.

May 38-39. Rock garden and other plants.

June 4-5. Rhododendron exhibition.

June 18-19. Peony exhibition.

June 35-36. Rose and Strawberry exhibition.

July 9-10. Sweet Pea exhibition.

Aug. 13-14. Gladiolus exhibition.

Aug. 27-38. Products of children's gardens.

Sept. 10-11. Dahlia and fruit exhibition.

Nov. 3-6. Great Autumn exhibition of Chrysanthe-
mimis and other plants, flowers, fruits and vegetables.

THERE are lots of people who hardly realize the
march of progress the Dahlia is making with the

Considerable space is occupied in these columns, this
issue, with reports of the meetings of various State
Nurserymen's Associations throughout the country.
Florists and seedsmen both will derive profit through
the careful reading of these reports for the reason that
all three branches of the trade are so closely woven
together that that which affects one must inevitably
affect the others.

New York and New Jersey Plant Growers
Association

At the meeting of the above association, held in New
York on Monday, Feb. 14, it was decided that the or-
ganization shall remain distinct from the newly formed
New York Growers Association. In other words, the
two organizations will form units of the Allied Florist
Trade Association of New York and as such, will collabor-
ate and work together. It was agreed to at once remit part
of the assessment dues, on similar lines as was decided
upon at the recent meeting of the cut flower growers.
The annual dinner of the association is fixed for Feb.
23 and will be held in the Green Room, Hotel McAlpin,
at 7 p.m. The usual early Spring visits to the growers
of New Jersey and New York States will, weather
permitting, be made on March 1 and March 8, each
State being given one day.

Albert S. McDonald

Albert Saul McDonald, a veteran of the Civil War,
and for years a resident of Lexington, Mass., died Sun-
day, Feb. 6, in the Massachusetts General Hospital, after
an operation. For the last thirty years, Mr. McDonald
had been in the florist business with a place of business
in Boston. He was born in Plymouth, Feb. 29, 1840. He
enlisted in the N. Y. Volunteer Infantry in 1862 and
was honorably discharged in 1865, a second lieutenant,
having been taken prisoner during the war. In 1867
he was married to Chastine Simmer ; they celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary three years ago last July.
Besides his wife, Mr. McDonald leaves a son and a
grandson. The funeral took place Wednesday from
his late home, at 568 Massachusetts ave., Lexington.

Louis H. Schaefer

After -an illness of two weeks, Louis H. Schaefer,
seedsman, died at the Homeopathic Hospital, Albany,
N. Y., Feb. 5. He was born in Brooklyn 56 years ago
and had lived in Albany about 27 years.

Mr. Schaefer's

first employment in
the seed trade virus
with the F. E. Mc-
Allister Co., Dey
St., New York, to
whom he went in
1883, when he was
about 18 years of
age,. and with
whom he stayed
until 1894, From
that year until 1896
he was with
Charles Schwake &
Co., later repre-
senting the then
firm of A. &
George Hermann.
Shortly after this
he went to Albany
and started busi-
ness under the firm
name of Louis
Schaefer & Sons.

Mr. Schiaefer
was secretary and treasurer of the Albany Florists Club
the following members of which acted as bearers:
F. A. Danker and E. P. Tracey of Albany, and Samuel
Hansen and Fred Henkes of Troy. The funeral took
place Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 8, from his late home,
377 Hudson ave., and burial was in Graceland Ceme-
tery. Besides his wife, Mr. Schaefer leaves two sons,
Louis F. and Henry P. Schaefer of this city, and two
brothers in Brooklyn.

Mr. Schaefer had been for many years secretary-
treasurer of the Albany Florists Club, members of
which state that he made a splendid official and left the
club in the very best condition it had been in during
its existence. "We will miss him very much and his
place will be hard to fill," they say.

[Mr. Schaefer had represented The Exchange in
Albany for many years. Our acquaintance with him
began when he was employed by McAllister & Co. of
Dey St., N. Y., a house long since out of business. By
his friends in the trade here in those bygone days, Mr.
Schaefer was greatly esteemed and well thought of.
He was a good friend to The Exchange in its early
years and his demise is regretted by none more so (out-
side of his family and relatives) than by the writer
of this note.— A. T. D.]

The Florists' Exchange

I

Disposition of the S. A. F. Permanent Fund

Prominent Members of the Trade Express Their Thoughts. The Question is
Now Open for Discussion. Wide Divergence of Opinion Shown.

If Young Men Are to be Interested in the

Florist Business It Must be Made

Interesting to Them

Naturally the writer is interested in everything which
pertains to the education and training of florists. As
one surveys the men engaged in the business today one
is impressed with the fact that comparatively few sons
of the present day leading growers are following the
business. Where then are our future florists and nur-
serymen coming from ?

There is no doubt but the business \vill continue. The
men who will carry it on. however, do not promise to
be the equal of our present day growers. As the writer
in_THE Florists' Exchange, issue of Dec. 11, pointed
out ; "There is a shortage, not only of skilled labor, but
also of young, unskilled men and boys who desire to
learn the business from the bottom up, with a view to
succeeding the present leaders and filling their places
with efficiency and honor as well as profit."

If young men are to be interested in the florist busi-
ness it must be made attractive to them. As the writer
has come intimately in touch with many young men he
has had an opportunity^ to get their viewpoint on the
situation. From the sons of present day successful flo-
rists comes the complaint, "Dad does not want to shift
any of the responsibility on to me and I have no inde-
pendence." There may be a certain amount of truth in
the statement because it is difficult for a man who has
built up a strong business to give up his control of it,
even to his son. Young men, however, cannot be ex-
pected to be deeply interested in the business unless they
are brought into close touch with the management. Oc-
casionally, also, 'there is a young man to whom the

money for social pleasures is coming so easily that there
is no incentive for progressive effort on his part.

The education and training of young men who ha.ve
had little experience in floricultural work is our chief
interest; the training of a new race of florists. Many
young men have come to the writer to ask regarding
the opportunities along floricultural lines. Unfortunately,
in the past, one could not conscientiously picture the
future to them in rosy hues. If the young men had
capital sufficient to build greenhouses and engage in
business for themselves, well and good; their successful
future was assured — for we all have faith in the future
of the flower producing business. If they were to anti-
cipate only a position as a day laborer, after graduation,
in some greenhouse establishment where men were
looked on only as a part of a machine, which must grind
out a certain amount of work in a given time, there
could he little incentive for an educated young man to
interest himself in preparation for work such as this.

Fortunately, within the last few years, there has been
a decided change in the attitude of successful practical
florists and they have shown a sincere desire to co-
operate with the colleges giving floricultural training,
and have been willing to take the men into their ranges,
either before or after graduation, and to interest them-
selves in them to a greater extent than they do in their
foreign day laborers, and to give them the opportunities
for advancement which are so much desired and appre-
ciated by progressive young men. It is believed by the
writer that those men who have had college students
working for them have found that these men really
were anxious to learn everything possible about the
business and that they have not tried to give the impres-
sion that they "knew It all." Reports from the ranges
w^hich have come to the writer have said th:s.

Chicaso Bulb Forcers' Association

We are in receipt of a communication from Peter
Pearson, Chairman, 5734 Gunnison ave., Chicago, 111.,
Feb. 8, 1921, to the following effect :

A meeting of the principal forcers of Dutch bulbs in
and around Chicago was held at the Randolph Hotel
on the afternoon of Feb. 3, 1921, this meeting resulting
in the formation of the Chicago Bulb Forcers Associa-
tion. After a lengthy discussion of the problems that
now confront the florists engaged in this particular
branch of the floral industry, the opinion prevailed that
it was unwise to place orders at this time for the next
year's, crpp of bulbs, due to the unsettled conditions gen-
erally and the apparent unprofitableness of growing and
forcing this commodity, comparing prices now asked for
the bulbs and the possible returns a year hence, judg-
ing by present market conditions.

The general belief was that it was not wise to place
orders under the present terms of the Dutch houses. It
was stated that some bulb salesmen had quoted prices
SO per cent less than a year ago, but even this figure
was not believed to be low enough to warrant the
placing of orders, at least not if the purchaser has to
assume all the responsibility.-

Everyone present expressed himself as thoroughly dis-
satisfied with the present situation, both as to returns for
those flowers that are marketable and the large percentage
of blinds from which nothing is realized.

The unjust method of using America as a dumping
ground for surpluses, after Dutch representatives have
filled their order books with American orders given at
high prices, was severely condemned.

The meeting was addressed by H. Langeler, repre-
senting Van Waveren & Sons of Holland, whose re-
marks were greatly appreciated. He gave some inter-
esting information as to the possibilities of saving on
freight and forwarding charges. Many questions were
asked Mr. Langeler, particularly pertaining to the cause
of Tulips coming blind. No definite reason could be
assigned that would account for this trouble, but sev-
eral theories were advanced. This brought on a dis-
cussion as to the advisability of rerouting shipments.

The consensus of opinion was that the bulb situation
is at present so serious that unless the Dutch houses
see the necessity of getting the bulbs to the forcer in
good condition, the forcers for self preservation will
have to petition the powers that be to place the few re-
maining bulbs that are now admitted in the same class
as those prohibited.

This, the first meeting, was well attended by an en-
thusiastic body of men who firmly believe we can devise

means of relieving some of the disagreeable features
of the bulb forcing business.
Yours truly,

H. D. Schiller, Secretary.

A Dutch Producer's Views

In commenting upon the meeting of bulb forcers at
Chicago recently, and their published proceedings here-
with, a Dutch bulb grower of considerable standing,
both here and in his own country, makes the following
statement :

"So far as prices for next season are concerned we
feel satisfied that the majority of the men who attended
the Chicago meeting have absolutely no idea of what
prices for 1921 will be. If they do, they know more
than we do, although we dare say we make as close
a study of prices as anybody in the business. To date
very few of the large bulb exporters have come out
with definite prices ; as yet, no one has any exact idea as
to how the market is going to be. We are passing
through a reconstruction period in the bulb business,
just the same as in almost any other line, and it will
simply resolve itself down to a question as to how
large the supply and demand is going to be before defi-
nite prices can be established.

"If those who attended the Chicago meeting had
under consideration only the prices that have been made
to them, mostly by the newer houses, we feel sure
they have received figures which must appear ridiculously
low to them; in fact, we are positive that a great many
varieties of Tulips, as well as Hyacinths, have been
offered to florists and seedsmen away below the cost of
production. The trouble with most of the people is that
they are comparing the present prices with those pre-
vailing during the war instead of before the war. Take
for instance, the prices prevailing for five years previous
to the uar and compare them with the prices which are
being made now for 1921 ; then compare the cost of pro-
duction before the war with present costs and I am sure
investigators will be convinced that bulb growing was
more profitable, say during 1910, than it will most
likely be during 1921.

"War period prices cannot be used as a basis at all.
Take, for instance, the years of 1916 and 1917 ; the
supply was larger those years than at any other time
in the bulb industry, while the demand was at its low-
est. England had prohibited the importation of bulbs
altogether; Russia could not be shipped to and there
was so much difficult^' in getting bulbs into Germany
and Scandinavia that those countries did not use many
bulbs either, so it came to pass that America bought
probably 60 or 70 per cent of all the Holland output.
Naturally, all those having large stocks had to dispose
of them, so it came to pass that bulbs could be bought

The plan for the use of the Permanent Fund of the
S. A. F. and O. H., suggested by The Florists' Ex-
CHAXGE. seems a workable one. The plan adopted by
the .American Association of Nurserymen is to aid in
every way the development of courses in all branches
of nursery work in three or four agricultural colleges,
where strong departments are already established ; one
in the East, one in the Middle West, and one in Cali-
fornia, and to encourage young men to go to these in-
stitutions for scientific training. It would be perfectly
easy for the S. A. F. and O. H. to adopt a similar plan
and to set aside the interest from the permanent fund to
form scholarships in two or three of the best equipped
agricultural colleges, or to establish a loan fund to help
worthy young men to get a scientific and practical train-
ing where they may desire. As a general thing young
people like to feel that they are self-supporting, and if
the Permanent Fund was set aside as a loan fund it
would be a wonderful help to worthy yoimg men.

The writer cannot do more than express his hearty
accord with all the ideas expressed in your issue of
Dec. 11, 1920. E. A. White.

Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y.

The Idea of Spending Money for a Few is

not Right— Use it for Advertising —

All will get Elqual Results

If there is any surplus money in the treasurj' of the
S. A. F., use it for advertising; educate the public to
use more flowers.

We have good growers and we have men in the retail
end that are geniuses — the best of both, but specially the
latter, who have become what they are not from money
spent on them, but from an inherent love of flowers.
These men you simply could not keep down if you
tried, and there always will be enough of them to bring
the business to the front.

The idea of spending money for a few is not right
I say again, use it for advertising, so that we all will ■
get equal results. Gustave Koethe,

Roxborough, Pa.

practically at whatever a buyer was willing to pay for
them. One can readily understand how large forcers of
bulbs can get together in the endeavor to protect them-
selves; in fact, I think it is a wise move, but these
same men should not endeavor to do this at the ex-
pense of the bulb producers.

"There is one thing this meeting overlooked, which
is, that prohibited nursery stock and bulbs are kept out
not for the protection of a home industry, but on ac-
count of diseases and insects; thus it seems ridiculous
that these forcers should make a threat of petitioning
the powers that be to place the few remaining bulbs that
are now admitted in the same category with those pro-
hibited We do not believe the United States Government
would pay any attention to a threat of this character. We
bulb growers have always endeavored to conduct our
business in a fair and square way. Why, then, should
a few Chicago growers try to protect themselves —
not really doing so — by threatening to take measures
to injure a foreign industry? The Chicago men seem
to be afraid to take the responsibility of growing bulbs.
I hope they do not e-xpect the Dutch grower to guaran-
tee his bulbs to flower, for that is entirely impossible.
Bulb growing has reached a stage where it is done on a
scientific basis; we are doing all in our power to make
the flowering satisfactor}', but the fact that there still
are bulbs that come blind and green-tipped is practically
due to causes beyond our control. We think it especially
due to heating in transportation ; sometimes, possibly,
through unfavorable weather conditions in Holland, and
sometimes to the way the florists here grow them. Pur-
chasers on this side can hardly expect us to sell bulbs
on a close margin of profit and additionally take the
responsibility of guaranteeing their flowering.

"The Chicago Bulb Forcers Association mentions prices
50 per cent less than those of a year ago. Possibly
there are varieties which can be sold at such a reduction,
but take for instance the case of Hyacinths, reduce last
year's price 50 per cent and it gives a figure which would
be far below the cost of growing. In order to grow Hya-
cinths right it takes much scientific attention ; if a man ■
does not understand thoroughly their culture he will never
make money, regardless of what price he gets for them.
Furthermore, good Hyacinth land in Holland is worth ,
about $2000 per acre, and it takes at least four years ;
to grow a good first or second class Hyacinth. If any-
one can show us where we can make money growing
Hyacinths on a basis of 50 per cent of last year's prices, ^
we would like him to do so. ^ '

"It would put a much better aspect on the question
if, instead of threatening us, the Chicago Bulb Forcers
.Association would request the cooperation of the larger
Holland bulb growers; I am sure these would all be
glad to cooperate with the forcers in that way. Surely
better and more amicable trade conditions could be
reached."

Secretary's Report

Secretary Young asked tliat he might defer his yearly
report until the next meeting; being ladies' night, it
was not desirable to take up a lot of time with figures
sueh as his rept>rt would contain.

Election of New Member*

The following, who had been nominated for member-
ship at the previous meeting, were duly elected : Arthur
R. Addy, ms Lenox road, Flatbush, Brooklyn, N. Y. ;
Allen W. Edminster, 43 Barclay St., New York, N. Y. ;
Wm. McLeod, Roslyn, N. Y., and Bernard Rynveld,
61 Vesey st., New York.

Nominations for Membership

Nominations for membership were as follows : Nicho-
las Grakas. 4215 Third ave., New York; Wm. A.
Frankerbach, Southampton, L. I. ; James F. Baird, 33
West 8th St., New York. Carl Oscar Carlson, Fairfield,
Conn., made application for life membership and en-
closed his cheque for same. His application was backed
by several members.

New Business

Roman J. Irwin, referring to the meeting for March,
asked whether it would be possible to have it earlier.
If not could it be held at the Palace during the show?
Secretary Young explained that the by-laws would not
permit them to change the date of the meeting and it
would be impossible to find room at the Palace, there
being no suitable space for the purpose.

The Grim Harvester

President Hendrickson referred to the losses the
club had sustained through the death of Charles Mil-
lang and Thomas Boothe de Forest, and he appointed
committees to draw up resolutions regarding same.

Exhibits

These were extremely limited. Roman J. Irwin sub-
mitted two magnificent plants of Cyclamen, grown by
Lehnig & Winnefeld, Hackensack. These plants were
wonderfully well flowered and, under the artificial
light, showed up most brilliantly.

Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis, submitted a vase
of their new scarlet Carnation, Edna ; this was in excel-
lent form.

Leona, a sport of Enchantress Supreme, was an-
other Carnation submitted by John Eitel & Sons,
Greencastle, Ind. This appeared to be somewhat deeper
than the old rose pink Enchantress, but did not appear
to have any special pomts of excellence. The Awards
Committee decided to defer its report on the above
until the next meeting.

Secretary-Treasurer A. M. Henshaw informs us that
the members of the New York Growers Association
are coming across freely with their cheques for the
current six months assessment dues. Mr. Henshaw is
highly gratified by the response since the bills were
issued.

Entertainment Committee Takes Charge

As a considerable number of members and their
ladies had now arrived, it was decided to adjourn the
meeting for the dance arranged by the entertainment
committee. This was most excellently carried out. By
10 p.m. fully 250 were present and things were going
strong. An excellent negro jazz band provided music
and also afforded variety by singing coon songs. Parr
ticularly good was the dancing of little Miss Florence
Booth, who, while only nine years of age, showed an
aptitude for toe dancing which bordered on the re-
markable ; the several dances that she gave at inter-
vals, winning much applause. It was interesting to
note that the little girl appeared quite unconcerned
during her dancing; it seemed to be perfectly natural
for her to dance and skip around the large hall as she
did. Truly a dancing fairy !

Excellent refreshments were provided and everyone
thoroughly enjoyed the evening's entertainment.

Peter Gerlaird and the entire entertainment com-
mittee of the New York Florists Club deserve hearty
commendations for the way they planned the second
annual reception and dance on Monday last.

Some of the visitors stayed so late, that by the time
they reached home, the morning's milk was on the
doorstep.

What Can Laddie Do?

A reader wants to know just how many flowers Laddie
can produce in a season compared with Mrs. C. W.
Ward. Oflhand we should hazard one-fourth less,
but this is more than counterbalanced by the higher price
made. What have others to say on the subject?

Baltimore Florists' Club

The regular monthly meeting of the club was held
on Monday evening, Feb. 14, at 8 p.m. The entertain-
ment committee arranged a most elaborate program,
with Max Schling of New York the honored guest,
coming all the way from the hub of the universe,
loaded with flowers and new ideas, to deliver a talk
on "The Arrangement of Flowers," showing at the
same time stereopticon views of individual work made
up under his own personal instructions. Mr. Schling
was met at Union Station by Robert W. Johnston and
motored to the home of Mary Patterson Johnston,
where an elaborate dinner was in waiting. Mrs. John-
ston's other guests were : Isaac H. Moss, Thomas
Stevenson, Wm. F. Ekas, H. Clay Primrose, Robert
W. Johnston, Joseph S. Merritt, Wm. J. Johnston and
President Robert L. Graham, Jr. Immediately after
the dinner Mr. Schling was escorted to the club rooms
in the Royal Arcanum Building.

President Robert L. Graham, Jr., called the meeting
to order promptly at 8 p.m. and the regular routine
business was hurried through.

Under candidates for membership, the following
names were proposed: Charles R. Jones, Elmer H.
Beard and Charles Williams.

The next call was for reports of committees. Wm.
F. Ekas, chairman of the transportation committee of
the Washington trip, reported one of the most enjoy-
able excursions ever experienced by the members. H.
Clay Primrose spoke for the amateur membership com-
mittee and reported good progress and asked to con-
tinue. The "Say it with Flowers" Week committee
was then called. This "go at it" crowd of young men
are rapidly whipping into shape all the arrangements
and detail, and the consent of the club has been given
to hold the week at the proper time and place, which
will be determined upon by the committee. With this
carte blanche order from the club in their pockets,
look out for rapid work.

At 9 o'clock President Graham introduced Max
Schling, and our friend from New York was greeted
with a perfect riot of applause. The stereopticon
views of madeup flower work, baskets, clusters and
bouquets were splendid reproductions of all ithat is beau-
tiful in floral arrangement, but the treat, and the long
to be remembered privilege, was to see Mr. Schling
handle the real flowers. The quick, skillful arrange-
ment of old- and new-fashioned blooms, like Acacia,
Euphorbia jacquiniseflora, long stemmed Pansies and
Roses, was a revelation to his audience. The demon-
strations in bouquet making were very instructive. The
miniature centerpiece was well executed, with a free
range of color and arrangement, not the set, patted-into-
place style so often noticed in table decorations. Mr.
Schling's many novel ideas and constructions, together
with his easy marmer and simplicity of style, brings
out the individuality of each flower and stamps him

a past and present master of form and technique.

It was after 11 o'clock when a standing vote of
thanks was tendered our guest, and Joe Merritt or-
dered the band to play "Home Sweet Home."

Have the Coleus Deteriorated?

As I have been a reader of your valuable paper for
many years and have often found articles in its columns
which have lieen helpful to me in the business of rais-
ing plants and flowers for pleasure as well as profit,
I turn to you now for a solution of my trouble. For
20 years or more, my pet hobby has been the raising of
Coleus from seed just for the pure joy of the thing,
although I have had no difficulty in selling every fancy
specimen I could raise at a good price. In past years,
I have raised many fine specimen plants, but I have
not been able in recent years to procure seed which pro-
duced any but common, worthless stuff, although I pur-
chase seed annually from the best sources I know of.
Even by importing from some of the foremost grow-
ers in Europe, I have been unable to raise really choice
varieties. Now what is the reason for this ; has the
raising of fancy Coleus become a thing of the past?
Are these choice fancy varieties becoming extinct ? Who
can tell me? I have in mind some beautiful specimens
raised from seed about 20 years ago; mammoth plants
with waxy white stalks, thick heavy leaves, often 6in. by
lOin. ; white edges, blending into yellow, pink and crim-
son, beautifully ruffled and fringed, crisp, waxy and
glossy. Others with stalks of ebony black; large leaves
of richest velvet black, with small white wedge and crim-
son veinings, wonderfully beaded and fringed; also
large white leaves with fancy green borders and heavily
ruffled, some being streaked and splashed with blood red.
I have seen no such Coleus as these in years, nor have
I been able to procure seed of such varieties. To me,
they seem more beautiful than the rarest flowers. I
would be pleased to hear from others on this subject.

G. E. Daniels,
Rock, Co., Beloit, Wis.

The above affords old time growers the opportunity
to substantiate or dispirove the suggestion that the
Coleus of today is inferior to what it was 20 years ago.
We have not raised Coleus from seed for many years,
but we believe it to be true that in England at least,
the Coleus no longer holds the sway that it did years
igo when giant specimens were raised from cuttings and
staged at all exhibitions. We are under the impression
however, that there are still many specialists both here
and in Europe who produce good Coleus seed but if
the demand is such as will not warrant ultra high
grading, it is not to be expected that specially choice
seed can be obtained. For bedding purposes, Coleuses
are propagated from cuttings ; can it be said that Coleuses
from seed are popular? If not, the would-be raiser has
but one prospect of specially choice seed; he must raise
it himself.

National Association of Gardeners

This association has engaged space at the Newf
York Spring Flower Show, to be held at Grand Cen-
tral Palace, March 14 to 20, for a reception room
and information bureau for the convenience of coun-
try estate owners. The secretary will be in attend-
ance throughout the show to discuss any subject that
may relate to the gardener or his profession, and the
engaging of efficient gardeners for country estates.

A gardeners' conference under the auspices of the
New England members of the association will be
held at Horticultural Hall, Boston, Mass., on Thurs-
day afternoon, April 7. This will be during the week
of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society Spring
Show, and that of the American Rose Society. As
rnany out of town gardeners will attend this exhibi-
tion— a large attendance is looked for at the gard-
eners' conference.

The 1921 Convention Committee appointed by
President Craig, will meet at the association's office
in New York, Feb. 18, to organize and to discuss the
plans for the 1921 convention, which will be held in
New York City this Fall. The committee is in re-
ceipt of an invitation to have the attendants at the
convention visit some of the fine gardens on Long
Island, with luncheon at one of the country clubs.

A movement is on foot to organize a local branch
of the National Association of Gardeners in Nassau
County (Long Island), N. Y., to promote the inter-
est and the welfare of the profession and its mem-
bers in that community, and to inform country estate
owners of the aims and purposes of the association.
By keeping them advised on the activities it is en-
gaged in, it will establish a more confident relation
between the gardener and his employer.

on contract or to sell at prices always below the prices
of established nurserymen no matter what those prices
might be. One firm alone might not feel warranted in
adding greatly to its production cost with other firms
following a different plan. I simply offer the suggestion
for consideration as an idea.

As to whether it is practical and likely to brmg de-
sired results, let me point to the history of the nursery
business and the source of the overproduction we have
often experienced and the kind of competition nursery-
men have been up against at the hands of their former
employees. What has caused that competition? How
can it be avoided? May not the answer possibly lie in
my suggestion? Let us consider what a good field
foreman gets now and what the manager of a sales de-
partment gets. Each is a vital factor. The young men
we train are going to be the very first to set up in busi-
ness for themselves unless the industry holds greater
attractions for them in the established concerns.

And there is another condition that affects both florists
and nurserymen : We are going to have to compete with
others for these young men that the colleges are to turn
out. Already the great estates and the private country
places of the rich are drawing heavily upon our supply
of good workmen. That competition is something to be
reckoned mth. Those estates are not commercial places;
they do not have to figure on the profit and loss account ;
wages are better there and the work is often lighter.

Rhode Island Nurserymen's Association

Charles W. Morey of Woonsocket, R. I., was re-elected
president of the above association at the third annual
meeting held at the Andrews Assembly Hall, Feb. 3.
There was a large attendance and numerous matters
pertaining to the nursery industry of New England
were discussed. It was voted to continue the commit-
tee appointed to obtain legislation amending the agri-
-cultural laws of the State so as to provide for the
appointment of a permanent entomologist. Christian
van der Voet of the Arnold Arboretum of Cambridge,
Mass., gave a description of that institution. Paul V.
Fortmiller spoke on the "Present and Future Demand
for Nursery Stock."

The election of officers resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, Charles W. Morey, Woonsocket; Vice-president,
Walter Earth, Newport; Secretary, S. A. Clarke, Fiske-
ville; Treasurer, V. A. Vanicek, Newport Executive
Committee: C. M. Holland, Woonsocket; Charles H.
Greaton, Providence; B. A. Bohuslav, Newport Sick

Connecticut Nurserymen's Association

The 14th annual meeting of the above association was
held at the City Club in Hartford, Conn., on Feb. 10.
President Chester F. Brainard of Thompsonville, pre-
sided at a lively business session in the morning. A
splendid dinner at which the wives and sweethearts of
the nurserymen were present followed.

In the afternoon the ladies attended a theatre party
at the Capitol Theatre while the men listened to several
very interesting addresses. The advent of the Apple
thorn skeletonizer and the European mite are new pests
added to the trials of the nursery business, said Dr.
William E. Britton, State Entomologist. Kennety Gillett
of Southwick, Mass., spoke on "Native Plants and Their
Uses." John Barnes of Yalesville spoke on the "Duty of
the Nurseryman to His Customers." State Forester
Walter O. Filley of New Haven gave some interesting
information in his talk entitled "Thoughts of Interest
to Nurserymen," and Dr. G. B. Clinton of New Haven
enlightened the Nurserymen on "Fungi."

The following officers were elected to serve during
the ensuing year:

Prsident — Henry W. Gottschalk, Manchester.

Vice-President — William W. McGartney, New Haven.

Brainard, Thompsonville; Mrs. John W. Barnes, Yales-
ville; Mrs. W. W. McCartney, New Haven.

E^choes

W. E. Campbell was responsible for the presence of
the ladies. He made an eloquent plea at the Summer
meeting in behalf of the ladies. Wanted us all to bring
our wives and sweethearts — give them a good time, he
said. So, "Old Man" Burr over in Manchester closed
up his office and sent all the girls in for good measure.

George H. Harris, late of Greenbrier, Tennessee,
now with C. R. Burr & Co., of Manchester, attended the
meeting.

Massachusetts Nurserymen's Association

The annual meeting of this association took place at
Horticultural Hall, Boston, Feb. 8, in connection with
the series of union agricultural and horticultural meet-
ings held there Feb. 8 to 12. There was a good atten-
dance of members when the meeting was called to order
by President Walter G. Ayman of No. Abington. The
reports of the secretary and treasurer were read and ap-
proved. George A. Page and the Bay State Nurseries
were elected active members, and W. N. Craig to hon-
orary membership. Christian Van der Voet of the Ar-
nold Arboretum read an exhaustive paper on the pro-
pagation of evergreens, principally from cuttings, but
he also dealt with propagation from seeds and grafts.
He considered a compost of sod, sand and cow manure,
well decomposed, an ideal one for cuttings; it was best
to put small lots of rare sorts in boxes to exercise better
care. He advocated the use of large cuttings in prefer-
ence to small ones and warned against the use of inside
cuttings of such varieties as Taxus cuspidata and Juni-
perus ; good sized terminal shoots were the best ; Novem-
ber was a good time to propagate; oblique cuttings or
those with a heel were the best. Sudden changes in
temperature for cuttings must be guarded against as they
were apt to prove disastrous, as also allowing cuttings
to become dry and then soaking with water. February,
when sap was starting to flow, was a good time to
graft ; keep grafts cool and dark for two weeks ; later
give a soft, moist heat. Propagation of Rhododen-
drons by grafting was spoken of at length.

A long discussion, participated in by all present, fol-
lowed Mr. Van der Voet's paper, which was ordered
printed and sent to members. The lecturer read a long
list of new and unique plants nurserymen should grow
and list, and upbraided them for neglecting the newer
things. He surprised his audience when he strongly
commended Qu. 37, and said it would be a grand thing
for the nurserymen's business. W. N. Craig criticized
the lecturer strongly and said the fact that a large pro-
portion of the plants he had urged nurserymen to grow
were not of American origin was in itself sufficient con-
demnation of his argimient on behalf qf Quarantine.

Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows :
President, Julius Heurlin, South Braintree; Vice-presi-
dent, Sheldon Robinson, Lexington; Sec'y-Treas., Win-
throp Thurlow, West Newbury. Executive Committee,
James Brandley, Donald W. Wyman, J. J. McManmoen,
G. Howard Frost. Legislative Committee, George C.
Thurlow, Julius Heurlin and Sheldon Robinson.

Following the meeting the members had their annual
dinner at the Oriental Restaurant and later at Horticul-
tural Hall listened to a splendid illustrated lecture by
J. Horace McFarland on "Good Plants, Old and New."
The lecturer showed many beautiful shrubs and species
of Roses, many of Chinese origin, all of which were
growing in his own garden at Harrisburg, and which
were therefore well adapted to New England gardens.
He scored the F. H. B. and Qu. 37 during his lecture
for excluding many beautiful novelties we should now
be trying out.

In connection with the union meeting of nurserymen
put up a fine group of evergreens in pots and tubs
and furnished additional material to assist in the decor-
ating of the halls. C. N. W.

Illinois State Nurserymen's Association

ANNUAL CONVENTION

President, A. M. Augustine, Normal, 111.
Vice-President, Arthur H. Hill, Dundee, 111.
Secretary, James A. Young, Aurora, 111.
Treasurer, Miles Bryant, Princeton, III.

The Illinois State Nurserymen's Association had
two busy days Feb. g and lo at the La Salle Hotel,
Chicago, 111. The full membership was represented,
and the proceedings were of great interest to all in
attendance. For a young organization, it is fast
attracting attention from outside, there being many
distinguished nurserymen present from other states.
The Federal Horticultural Board at Washington sent
an able representative in Dr. Kellerman. The Uni-

versity of Illinois too sent eminent men in the per-
sons of Professors Glenn and Brock of the Horti- ■
cultural Department, while the State Department of I
Agriculture at Springfield, and the Internal Revenue*
Department of the U. S. A. were represented byi
able men. In the membership of the Illinois State t
Ass'n, there are some brilliant men and able debaters i
as well as essayists of distinction, judging from thet
papers read. With all this latent talent, two shortt
sessions daily was inadequate for the discussion ofil
the various topics that came up for the adjudication.!,
It was only by the watchfulness of President Augus-o
tine in holding speakers to time that the greatil
amount of work to be handled, could have attention.v
Indeed, the time was too scant for all that had to<
be said and done; some important matters were)
passed altogether and other important ones war-n
ranted a more complete discussion. The association^
should, in the future, either have a three-day conven-i
tion, or at least hold three business meetings daily.*

The putting over of the cost and accounting sys-i
tern was a notable feature of the meeting; the mat-li
ter has been before the association since its forma-t
tion. The readjustment of prices and businessil
methods that the nurserymen are, like many otheri
industries called upon to set aright and conform toi
present conditions, were matters that were ably]
handled. Ideas for business expansion was para'-*
mount in all discussions as well as in papers read,'
A notable feature was the energy and aggressiveness
of the members to spread out and use their best
efforts to increase their usefulness to society, andi
elevate the business standards of the industry.

The business meeting opened Feb. g with Secre-j
tary J. A. Young reading the minutes of the pasb
meeting, after which President A. M. Augustine de^
livered an address which was brimful of timely sug^
gestions.

Prof. P. A. Glenn, of the Bureau of Plant Industry,)
University of Illinois, delivered an address on the
"Activities of the Bureau of Plant Industry." He
told in detail what they were doing to starnp outi
plant diseases in every form and of the eradicatioDi
of the common Barberry and Red Cedar which dis-s
seminated rust so fatal to many crops. He madd
a plea for the better cooperation of the nurserymen
and the horticulturists of the state with his depart-1
ment in the work it was doing. There was a lively;
discussion after the address, and the professor was
asked many questions pertaining thereto. The rusli
germs he said, will travel as far as the wind cam
blow dust; the Red Cedar rust was destructive to
Apple orchards. He told of efforts to kill insects
with poisoned gas that were unsuccessful, as suf-
ficient gas to kill the insects would kill the plant!
also. The public parks and forest preserves held
many trees that are infested with scale; efforts
should be brought to bear on these, and all sucli
other institutions where plant life was fostered, sc
that they, as well as private and commercial growers
should clean up.

Wednesday Afternoon Session

The afternoon session opened with the reading o:
an excellent paper by Miles Bryant, Princeton, 111.
on "Readjustment and the Nurseries." He pointec
out that readjustment, so far as it pertained tc
prices, would have to come slower in the nurser;
business than in many other hues of industry. L
takes from one to three years to produce young stocl
for lining out and transplanting, and from three t(
five years to produce finished stock from a nursery
man's viewpoint. As much of this stock in thi
■ course of production had been cared for during ;
period of scarcity of labor and high price 0
material, the reduction must come gradually.

J. A. Young and F. W. Von Oven, took part ii
the discussion and urged against over production
Some nurserymen grew far more stock in some line
than there is a market for. Manufacturers in othe
lines were more careful than nurserymen, neve
producing more goods than the demand required,
Lower prices were urged as soon as possible
Farmers could before the war, buy Apple trees fo |
50C., which they are now called on to pay from $1.5' |
to $2; that was forcing them to buy root-grafts aiv,
raise their own stock, to the detriment of estab
lished nurserymen.

President Lloyd Stark, of the A. A. N., who wa,
scheduled for a paper on the "Selhng of Under,
stocks to Farmers and Fruit Growers" was unabl
to be present, and the time alloted for this was take:
up by J. F. Jacobs of the J. F. Jacobs Co., Chicagc
111. an expert on business engineermg and cost ac,
counting. Mr. Jacobs spoke at length on the subject
a long discussion followed. It appeared doubtfi!
whether the association as a whole wanted to g
into the working plans as set forth by Mr. Jacob:
After much discussion, a committee was appointe
to confer fully on the matter and report at the cloi^
ing session Thursday. !

Frank Ridgcway, the Chicai/o rrihiine writer on
.latters ni ajiriciiltiire, addressed the meeting. He
irgcd tile associatidn to pet a Press Committee to
?t thL- general public kn<nv wliat the Illinois Slate
Nurserymen's Ass'n was doing.

fhursday Morning Session

This session opened with the reading of a pajtcr
)y iM. Mieriscb. Glenview, 111., on "Not Readjust-
ncnt, but E.xpansion." This was perhaps the best
hal came before the convention. It showed much
orotiioUKht, and pointed out in a practical way to
treat oppi^rtunities there is for e.xpansion in the
mrsery business of the future. President Augustine
;ommendcd the association on the latent talent in
he ranks of its membership. He spoke of the great
ipportunity for the use of millions of trees in high-
vay planting and, with the probability of a larger
ippropriation for reforestation by the government,
nillions of other trees would be required for the
iroduction of which preparations should be made,
n the discussion which followed, A. H. Hill urged
he nurserymen to keep in touch with the American
.forestry Ass'n and help it whenever possible. Con-
rete men it was stated, had done much to push the
,uilding of highways throughout the country. Nur-
.erymen should take a step to see that all such high-
vays were planted with shade and ornamental trees
rom one end of the country to the other.

A. C. Wilson, of the State Department of Agri-
■ulture, Springfield, 111., was present, and told what
he department was doing to aid in the production of
)ure seeds.

Ed. J. Forrest, of the Internal Revenue Depart-
nent, gave an address on "Making an Income Re-
)ort." He said expert accounting began where
jood bookkeeping left ofif. Many people, not know-
ng what to deduct from their income report, gen-
■rally deducted everything: he was there to help
hem, and answer any questions. The discourse was
lighly enjoyed as well as being instructive; the
.peak'er was plied with many questions from various
ingles as it applied to the nursery trade, all of which
vas explained satisfactorily. He was highly ap-
>Iauded.

Thursday Afternoon Session

The closing session was opened by Dr. K. F.
vellerman, of the Federal Horticultural Board, Wash-
ngton, D. C, on the "Value of the U. S. A. Bureau
if Plant Industry to Nurserymen." He opened his
alk by telling of an American doughboy in France
vho stood by the statue of Lafayette and said "La-
.'ayette, we've paid our debt to you. Who do we
,)we now?" He dealt exhaustively with the work the
ijureau had done in combating the ravages of insect
nests. He told of how the Peach yellows had ruined
he Peach orchards of Maryland, and what the
'bureau was doing for citrus canker in Florida. He
■aid that going into new countries in quest of new
jlants might also bring new insect pests and dis-
'ases. If anyone did not like the progress the bu-
I'eau was making, it was up to them to say so; if

ihcrc arc no suggestions they, of the bureau must
simph' continue to do tile best they can. He said
the department was keenly responsive to all en-
quiries. He urged his hearers to work the way they
thought, and not tell the department one thing and
then go another way. He hoped that within a few
years, with good judgment and better cooperation
on the part of all connected with the plant industry,
many of the evils at present existing would be en-
tirely eliminated. The speaker was warmly applauded.

As a matter of fact, the Illinois State Nurserymen's
Ass'n went on record two years ago as being in
favor of plant quar. ,37, with the exception of one
dissenting vote. President Augustine said, as that
was two years ago, it was possible that this one
member might in the meantime have changed his
opinion. This member, L. F. Dintleman, Belleville,
111., said he was still of the same opinion. The pres-
ident complimented him on his firmness in asserting
himself as one, against about seventy members of
the association. Mr. Dintleman is a Peony grower.

Chas. Perkins, of Jackson & Perkins, Newark,
N. Y., was present and invited all who could attend
to come to Rochester, N. Y., next week and attend
the meeting of the New York State Nurserymen's
Ass'n, to be held in that city at that time.

Ed. S. Welch, Mount Arbor Nurseries, Shenan-
doah, la., was present and, on request, gave a talk
on his trip to Europe last year with several other
nurserymen to look into the conditions of the
nursery business over there. He told of the great
nursery centers in Orleans, France, in Holland, Bel-
gium and England, and gave many interesting ac-
counts of how many of the working operations of
the nurserymen was carried out over there. He said
some of the streets in the towns in Holland were
too narrow for even a Ford car to go through. He
noted some disappointment among foreign growers
because quarantine 37 had cut them off from the fine
American trade they formerly enjoyed. He said the
American cemeteries were better cared for than
either the French or British.

In England nurserymen planted much closer than
was done in this country; it was necessary to do so
to get suflScient quantity from smaller acreage.

A. A. N. Trade Mark Discussed

J. A. Young called attention to the dissatisfaction
that exists in the ranks of the American Ass'n of
Nurserymen. He called attention to an editorial in
the February issue of the National Nurseryman
the official organ of the association. The new
schedule of payment to the Market Development
Committee is the cause of dissatisfaction on the
part of many members. There is also a feeling ex-
pressed that the trade mark of the A. A. N. was not
the best from the point of business development
and expansion. It was ably argued, however, this
should not be pulled down until something better
was put in its place. It was like taking the roof ofT
a house and putting nothing to replace it. It was
thought best by some to leave it there and put a
solid foundation under it. On motion of J. A. Young

to approve oi the trade mark of the association,
.Mvin E. Nelson opposed it. He was heartily in
favor of it. but for reasons, he thought the present
not the best time for the association tn go on record
to this effect. The motion was tabled.

The Market Development Committee sent a tele-
gram of greetings; Prof. Blair, of the Department
of Horticultural University of Illinois, sent also a
telegram of greetings.

Prof. W. S. Brock, of the State University read
an interesting paper on "Insects and Fungi."

The committee appointed to consider the desir-
ability of the association to take up the work of busi-
ness engineering and cost accounting as set forth
by J. F. Jacobs, made report through Alvin E. Nel-
son, chairman. It was decided to retain J. F. Jacobs
to aid in this work, and all members of the associa-
tion will be communicated with. Contracts were
distributed for all who desired to sign and return to
the committee.

A. H. Hill, chairman of committee of final resolu-
tions, urged the use of the slogan of the A. A. N.,
and opposed the Smith bill, designed to use portions
of our National Parks for commercial purposes.

A bulletin of unsold stock on hand by the various
members of the association was distributed. A ques-
tion sheet with nearly a score of questions of im-
portance to the trade was distributed to be answered
by those present. Owing, however, to lack of time,
these questions were not taken up.

Illinois Narserjrmen's Questionnaire

One or more members of the Illinois State Nursery-
men's Association has, or have a great penchant for ask-
ing questions. Those here quoted form part of the
list submitted at the recent convention of the association,
but owing to lack of time, none of them were actually
liscussed. These questions might be made to apply to
every State. If any one of them prompts a thought, we
shall be pleased to have your views.

Should an order for 3-4ft. stock be filled with 4-Sft.
stock without asking the purchaser?

Shall Illinois compel private individuals to spray?

Why should the tree planters and socalled "Land-
scape Gardeners" be allowed wholesale prices?

Why should florists be allowed the same prices as nur-
serymen ?

When can fruit stocks be excluded?

When can Rose stocks be excluded?

Shall Illinois nurserymen adopt a simple uniform
cost ccounting system?

Why is it necessary for a nurseryman to keep accu-
rate record of articles he sells?

Do nurseries grow too many varieties?

Should nurserymen make a specialty of some one line?

When one nursryman in Illinois is injured does it in-
jure all the nurserymen?

Shall the State of Illinois pass a law to protect plant-
ers of nursery stock against the fraudulent practices of
some tree dealers?

Shall Illinois nurserymen adopt a uniform standard of
grades ?

What America Needs

A Glimpse at Wider Fields for Plant Sales
By NELSON COON

■ "As things stand, I, for one, am torn between a
lesire to take my walks in England and do my house-
:.<eeping in America." Thus writes an English woman
n the current issue of the Woman's Hofite Companion.
In so saying she very pertinently places her finger on one
of America's weakest spots.

City Growth vs. Horticulture

For the past century, city development has been on a
purely commercial plane and no opportunity has been
jiven for the aesthetic side of city life. No one who
las ever been in England can deny that the <:harm of
:he English cities and towns lies in their horticultural
levelopraent, and this in spite of high brick walls along
the streets, too often excluding the view. When the
Pilgrim Fathers came to this country, they brought with
them a few seeds of the simpler flowers and laid the
foundation of wonderful gardens which we now so
Tiuch attempt to imitate. But the supernormal growth
of the whole country has left this flower instinct at
some distance in the rear and, only now, are we begin-
ning to see that we must, as a nation, consider other
things beside the

A Sign of the Times

' That this fact of a need for iriore planting is gen-
erally recognized, is shown by the widespread atten-
tion given to such subjects by the various national

magazines. The florist should be alive to these things
and turn them to his own benefit as well as being of real
service to his customers. The right kind of people are
constantly reading these articles and need but the guid-
ance of experienced hands to put the precepts into practice.
It behooves every florist to become, if need be, a hor-
ticultural adviser as well as just a seller of flowers.

As often pointed out in the columns of The Ex-
change, there are in such developments, a wide field
for the sale of perennials and other easily handled stock.
Any florist who has a small greenhouse, can soon work
up a stock of the commoner hardy plants including many
of the popular vines and Roses which are so much in
demand.
New Ideas in Planning

Apropos of new and better ideas in gardening, some
very remarkable suggestions appeared in a recent ar-
ticle on gardening by the well known horticultural
writer, Grace Tabor. Perhaps the most unusual of her
suggestions was contained in her scheme for home plan-
ning, whereby the kitchen be placed at the front of the
house rather than at the rear. At first this idea may
seem illogical, but this is only so because of a century
old custom of our present arrangement. Certainly it
is more desirable to have the workroom of our wives
look out upon a busy street and thus relieve an otherwise
monotonous day. Then, too, by arranging a service door
out of the kitchen toward the front of the house deliveries
may be made more quickly and garbage and ashes may
be more easily taken to the street. And, after all, it is
simply going back to that colonial plan whereby the
kitchen was an addition whose windows faced the road.

In accordance with this reversed scheme of build-
ing the living room and dining room will face the rear
of the property as will also the porch. This would give

a very pleasant outlook upon a garden at the rear, how-
ever small it might be. This arrangement would tend to
invite one into the garden and perhaps make the garden
more of a "home" than it is today. Under the existing
plan of house and garden architecture, one must come
down off a porch and circle around the house until the
garden is reached, which is obviously not a plan tending
to invite one into the garden. Certainly the secret of
enjoyment of the garden lies in its accessibility.

An English Cottage Garden

The writer very vividly recalls a little English cottage
garden which it was his privilege to enjoy. The stone
house stood back about 75ft. from the road with the
front door almost at a level with the yard. Directly
in front of the house and down both sides of the walk
were wide beds of many colored flowers. They weren't
"landscaped," it is true, but they were well taken care
of and thoroughly enjoyed and, undoubtedly the pleasure
of this little garden which was always within view,
served to brighten some of the darker days of the war.

Grasp the Opportunity

We, the horticulturists of America, must take the
lead in promoting this real type of garden. We must
show the public that a garden for enjoyment isn't al-
ways a formal one of many beds and much expenditure,
but a place to be loved and enjoyed, and where one can
work, play and live. Florists as a body love their flow-
ers and can easily make this apparent to their patrons,
but if there be some few who haven't perhaps the soul
for gardening, let them remember that not only is this
movement good from the esthetic standpoint, but from a
financial one as well. The more gardens we have in this
country the greater apperciation will there be for flowers
and hence more business for those who sell them.

Feb, 12. — Business remains rather quiet;
there is, however, a general improvement
in the appearance of the flower shop win-

in the market.

Flowers are plentiful and of good va-
riety, including Roses, Carnations, Sweet
Peas, Calendulas, Daffodils and Paper-
whites.

Notes of Interest

Ed. Shaw, wholesaler, is again cutting
some good Sweet Peas.

Ned Peirce is contemplating opening a
store at the South end of the city. Dur-
ing holiday times, he has opened a tempo-
rary store with good results, and feels
"much encouraged. Several of his green-
houses have fallen down, but he is gradu-
ally re-erecting them.

Mrs. Wm. Davenport, who has been
under the weather, is now back on the
job again.

Wooler, the Florist, reports a good
business; he has a remarkable bat(£ of
Boston ferns, which are selling rapidly.

Ed. Davis is fitting up his greenhouses,
which have been closed all Winter, in
preparation for a big Spring business.

Worcester, Mass.

A well prepared campaign of advertis-
ing reaped its reward on St. Valentine's
Day, bringing about the best volume of
trade on this day, since before the war.
Folders, stickers, posters, newspaper ads
and elaborate window displays did the
trick, and everyone was ready with a
fine line of stock to meet the demand.

As in former years, Violets were the
leaders, as silent messengers of love and
affection, and the single variety was
given the preference.

Lange had a fine stock of these; hand-
ling over 10,000, all grown in Worcester.

Narcissus, Tulips, Freesias and Sweet
Peas cleaned up well and, next in volume
of sales, were Roses and Carnations.

The suggestions of Spring, seemed to
hit the popular fancy and combinations
of Spring flowers and Pussy Willows were
quick sellers, keeping the make-up men
on the jump.

Gilt baskets of Helichrysum and Gypso-
phila, made an ideal valentine for long
parcel post shipments. Randal featured
a nice combimition of Sweet Peas and cut
Primula malacoides that sold readily.
Littlefield had a fine lot of especially well
grown Hyacinths of the prepared variety:
they make beautiful pans, well colored ana
even. ■

A new flower stand will open in town
this week, the Warren Hotel Flower Shop.
A. Lipman is proprietor, and the shop
■will be managed by Miss Anna Marks. A
full line of cut flowers and baskets will
be carried. WOECO.

Hartford, Conn.

The Proposed State Club

Just what the compositor had to
drink when he set up last weeks news
letter, I do not know, but it looks as if he
had a 'TVee Nip" and got excited be-
cause Hartford was trying to form a
States Florists Association. Our Sec-
retary George M. Marchant, 13 Hunt-
ington St., this city, would like to hear
just what some of the other florists who
were not at that meeting think of such
an organization. At the club's February
meeting, which was held at the Ci^ Club,
the committee apxwinted at the previous
meeting, was very much enthused with the
way other florists were taking hold of the
idea. No doubt those of you who have not
given the idea a thought, would like to

be enlightened on the subject; it is this:
to show more cooperation between each
other, both social and commercially, also
to become acquainted with the other fel-
low. As often is the case in towns or
cities, the old ''Potting Shed Bunch"' will
get together and knock. Some of the re-
marks will run like this, 'Tfou know Bill,
well, he is a "poor simp," stuck me for a
pound of tinfoil, know darned well I will
never get it back, or so-and-so is too
crooked to hide behind a cork screw
(the latter is only a memorj' now). Well
Hartford maybe, was like others once,
but that was before the club got
agoing, and believe me fellows, there is
not any of that talking in these dry times.
A state association or club would be a
fine thing; not but what Connecticut is on
the map, but we want to make the "Say
it with Flowers" bunch known far and
wide as fellows who can always say a
good word for the other fellow. That can-
not be done unless we meet and get ac-
quainted. Some of you fellows do not
know what the correspondent from this
city looks like. He is a ''joint" who
would like to see his brother florists in
the State of Connecticut get agoing and
do it. Mr. Ryan, of Ryan & Powers, Wa-
terburj'. Conn., is chairman of the com-
mittee now getting started. All you
young men with or without pep should
get next to Mr. Rvan or Mr. Dawson
(not the 'TVee Bird Man"), of
Willimantic, or Greenbacker of Meriden.
They are the committee, all live wires,
every one. So get busy and we will put
good old Connecticut on the map as hav-
ing a biuich of men that believe in the
Golden Rule; so be it.

The call for potted plants on St. Valen-
tine's Day was decidedly good, while
Violets, Sweet Peas, Daffodils and other
cut stock were more in demand than last
year. Valley and other higher priced
stock seemed to go begging; all in all St.
Valentine's Day trade was very satis-
factory. I

Carnations, Daffodils, Violets and other '
stock is coming in good shape; the supply ■
has been bigger than the demand for the '
past week. There does not seem to be |
the quantity of poor stock visible in
years gone by. We generally could get
lower grade stock to put into design
work and make enough to pay your bills
with. The fellow that can do all of these
things nowadays, is a wonder.

small, ajid makes no impression on the
market.

Supply and demand in Sweet Peas re-
main about equal, with heavy arrivals
daily.

Violets move slowly, and while '\ alen-
tine's Day caused an increased demand, it
was nothing compared to that of former
years.

Freesia, Mignonette, Calendula and
Baby Primrose move slowly. Orchids and
Valley are in heavier supply, and are good
property.

Easter Advertising Needed

It will not be long till we have Easter
with us and as present conditions are
none too good, it is up to all of us to
boost and advertise the business in every
way possible in order to move the stock
that is bound to come between now and
then. It is our humble opinion that the
growers who let their stock come regular-
ly and do not try to crop to any great
extent for Easter, are the ones that are
going to benefit in the end.

Morris Stein, formerly of the A. W.
Smith Flower Stores Co., but of late
years located in St. Paul, is visiting
friends and relatives in and around Pitts-
burgh. Mr. Stein is thinking of locating
in Chicago after his visit ends.

Jake Gerwig of the Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co., has acquired local fame by
figuring in the big money in a local Ten

ing carried off first place in the two man
event, and his team having captured sec-
ond place in the five man event.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

Valentine's Day did not cause much
excitement in the local market. While
there was an extra demand for small
flowers suitable for corsage work, all
other lines moved slowly, and with the
exception of short Roses, there was plenty
of stock for every need. While this is
written on Sunday where, Valentine's
Day being Monday, it is hard to tell what
last minute orders will amount to, it is
certain that there will be sufficient for
all needs.

At the present writing there is an over-
supply of bulbous stock, which keeps
things in an imsettled condition. Golden
Spurs, Paperwhites and Tulips are com-
ing in faster than they can be moved to
advantage.

The Rose situation remains about the
same with a daily clean-up on all ar-
rivals; still, prices have dropped on all
grades. On some varieties the quality is
not as good as it might be, due no doubt
to the mild Springlike weather we have
been having.

The supply of Carnations is on the in-
crease, but in most cases the quality is
not first class. This has been the case all
season, and it is not likely that they will
improve much from now on.

Easter Lilies are moving freely, and
make up the one item that is holding up
in price. The supply of Calla Lilies is

Lancaster, Pa.

Feb. 12. — For the past ten days the
growers have been trying to get a few
extra flowers from their plants for valen-
tine week, and the retail florists have
been arranging for a little increase in
business, all of which will be over by the
time this appears in print, and let us
hope that both will have profited much by
their efforts.

Plants particularly continue to be in
evidence at the retail stores, and if the
buyer can be taught to look upon a five
dollar bill invested in a plant the same as
he would a like amount invested in cut
flowers, both would benefit. I think I
have said it before but repetition some-
times helps; I woifld like to see the re-
tailer convince the buyer of a plant with
the fact, that as soon as it loses its beauty
it should be thrown out the same as would
be done with a bunch of cut flowers.
It seems to me that this i>oint impressed
on the buyer of plants would help the
plant trade and do away with that dis-
appointment one so often hears expressed
that in a few weeks the plant begins to
wither and die.

The sun does not shine very often, but
when it does show its face, both flowers
and plants take on a new lease of life and
the past few weeks have seen much im-
provement along this line; but, imless it
is a little more generous with its light
and heat, there is not much danger of a
glut over the Lenten season.

All sorts of vegetation is pushing into
growth; the Spring birds are with us in
quantity, and we are wondering with a
big interrogation point, what next?

lorists Clnb Banquet

The first annual banquest of the Scran-
ton Florists' Club was held in the Elks* Club
North Washington ave., Feb. 10. The
dinner was attended by more than 102
florists, coming from the larger towns and
cities in Northeastern Pennsylvania. 0.
W. Baldwin presided as toastmaster.

The principal speaker of the evening
was Charles H. Grakelow, past president
of the Retail Florists Ass'n of Philadel-
phia, who told of his having gained suc-
cess in the floral business from beginning
in a basement in an out-of-the-way section
of Philadelphia, through education and
advertising.

As a result of Mr. Grakelow's talk, 50
applications were made for membership
in the club.

The decorations in the banquet hall
were delightful; Southern Smilax, palms
and ferns predominated. On the tables.
Daffodils were arranged in valentine
favors. Each guest received a Columbia
Rose. The decorations were made by
Miss A. L. Besancon, Mrs. Schultheis and
Anton Schultheis. Francis J. Moran was

chairman of the Arrangement Commit-
tee. E. J. Le Due of Danville displayed
some very fine pink and white Sweet Peas
At the next meeting of the club, whicl
will be held March 7, it will be decided
where the club will meet each month. A
committee was named to select a perma-
nent hall for the meetings and social en-
tertainments of the club. Prof. Rhyg
Powell, of the Technical High School, hag
agreed to give a lecture vrith slides on the
Scientific Way of Growing and Treating,
Flowers. This lecture will be very inter-
esting, as Prof. Powell is a noted botani-
cal authority. The date of the lecture
will be given later. E. J. M.

The history of the day's business

Every time a sale is recorded on an up-to-date National Cash
Register, a complete record of the sale is printed on a strip of
paper inside of the register.

This strip of paper is called the detail-strip.

It shows how much business is done during certain hours, or

during the proprietor's absence.

It cannot be removed or changed w^ithout the proprietor's

know^ledge.

It prevents the cash drav\rer being opened w^ithout a permanent
record being made.

At the end of the day, the proprietor takes the detail-strip out of
the register and files it aw^ay.

It gives him a permanent, unchangeable history of each day's

business.

The detail-strip is only one of the many features w:hich make

up-to-date National Cash Registers a business necessity.

THE QUEST FOR A SUITABLE SLOGAN-By Ernest A. Bench
A POINTED QUESTION— 5i/ Henry Penn

The Quest for a Suitable Slogan

By ERNEST A. DENCH

THE slogan is an endeavor to express the policy
of your store in a nutshell. Make sure, there-
fore, before deciding upon a catch phrase, that
it does your business full justice. If it fails to do so, it
is best to continue to jog along without such a handicap
—for such the slogan will prove if an error in judgment
IS made.

What is another man's meat may prove to be your
poison, so the following batch of American slogans are
enumerated under several classifications in order to fa-
dlitate the all important matter of selection.

Summing Up a Store's Policy

There are many ways of summing up a store's policy,
^ la slogan, and you are welcome to take your pick :
! "The Store that is Steadily Growing," (Kennedy's,
Harrisburg, Pa.)
! "The Best Advertised Store
in Washington," (Hooper Bros.,
Washington, D. C)
' "Reading's Representative
'Store," (Whitners, Reading,
Pa.)

"A Good Place to Trade,"
(Edwards Co., Portland, Ore.)

"This is a Van Dyke Store,"
;(Van Dyke, Brooklyn, N. Y.)

"We Do as We Advertise,"
(Menters, Minneapolis, Minn.)

"A Good Store to Know
About," (F. W. Nash Co.,
Springfield, Mass.)

"Where Big Things in Mer-
[chandising Occur," ( Savings
iBank Store, Aberdeen, S. D.)

"The Brightest Spot in
Town," (Livingston, ' Bloom-
ington, 111.)

"You Can Always Do Better
at Seitner's," (Seitners, Canton,
Ohio.)

"The Always Busy Store,"
(Sivens, Buffalo, N. Y.)

"What We Say It Is— It Is,"
(Buchanan's, Richmond, Va.)

"The Best Place to Shop,
After All," Franks, Fort Wayne, Ind.)

"Deal with Watkins— It Pays," (Watkins, Wheeling,
W. Va.)

"The Store That Grows and Keeps Growing," (Munn
Co., Houston, Tex.)

"It Pays — Try the Annex First — It Pays," (Annex
Store, Beatrice, Neb.)

"Buffalo's Fastest Growing Store/', (Hens and Kelly
Co., Buffalo, N. Y.)

"Where Shopping Is a Pleasure," (Best Co., Buffalo,

""The Standard Store of the Northwest, Reliable Mer-
diandise. Reliable Methods," (Olds, Wortman and King,
Portland, Ore.)

"We Lead, Let Those AVho Can, Follow," (At-
lantic Tea Store, Wheeling, W. Va.)

"The Store for all the People," Nugents, St. Louis,
Mo.)

"The Best Shop in Town," (Stevens, Fort Wayne,
Ind).

"The Live Store. Always Reliable. Be Sure of Your
Store," (Doutrichs, Harrisburg, Pa.)

Slogans in the First Person

The slogan is just like a piece of advertising matter,
with the exception that it becomes permanent in charac-
ter instead of temporary. But the same principles apply
to both in striking a personal note, so here follows a
few slogans addressed in the first person.

'A Store Where You Will Like to Trade," (Bells,
Tacoma, Wash.)

'.'■?r° '° Mann's." (P- J. Mann Co., Worcester, Mass.)
You Will Always Do Better at the Home Store,"
(Home Store, Dayton, Ohio.)

A Store You Ought to Know," (Interstate Electric
i>nop, Sprmgfietd, 'Mass.)

"A Store Where You Will Eventually Buy," (White's,

Washington, D. C.)

"The Store You've Heard so Much About," (Levy's,
Houston, Tex.)

"The Store That Serves You Best," (Butlers, Har-
risburg, Pa.)

"Always Be Sure You Are at Zindler's Before You
Buy," (Zindlers, Houston, Tex.)

The Location Slogan

Some slogans that have come before my notice capital-
ize some peculiarity of the store's location. Yours may
be up a back street or a few streets from the logical
shopping center of the town, so you may need a good
slogan to bolster up your business with. Choose from
these :

"The Store of Small Expense," (Women's Wear Shop,
Seattle, Wash.)

"The Big Store on the Hill," (Helmes Bros., Inc.,
Albany, N. Y.)

"A Little Out of the Way, but It Pays to Walk,"
(Pohorsky Co., Cedar Rapids, la.)

"It Will Pay You to Cross Over," (Wadsworth Co.,
Akron, Ohio.)

A Pleasing Combination

A plain cut glass bowl, with handle, fiUed with an artistic display of Carnations in a variety of colors
Nephrolepsis foliage is used in conjunction.

"Why We Sell Cheaper — Location," (Levy and Sons,
Philadelphia, Pa.)

"A Few Blocks Out of the Way, but it Means Many
Dollars to You," (Girber, Birmingham, Ala.)

"Just Twenty Feet Above High Rent District — You
Save the Difference" (Sterling Co., Dayton, Ohio.)

"The New Shop in the Old Saks Store," (Smart
Wear Store, Norfolk, Va.)

"The Busy Corner," (Robinson Co., Colorado
Springs, Colo.)

"The Big Store on the Corner Where the Cars Stop,
and the Crowds Shop," (Watt and Shand, Lancaster,
Pa.)

"Just One Store in Richmond Now — 10 East Broad
Street," (G. R. Kinney Co., Inc., Rochmond, Va.)

A Slogan to Express Service

If service is your predominating feature, your slogan
should express the particular phase of it in which you
excel. A few suggestions ;

"The House of Courtesy," (Philipsborn Co., Balti-
more, Md.)

"The House of Pleasant Dealing," (Will Co., Bloom-
ington. 111.)

"He Profits Most Who Serves Best," (Foster Co.,
Fort Wayne, Ind.)

"Service First, Satisfaction Always," (Cohen Co.,
Richmond, Va.)

"Satisfaction First," (King's Palace, Washington,

"Always Reliable," (Haynes and Co., Inc., Springfield,
Mass.)
"The Store That Satisfies," (Wesleys, Adrian, Mich.)
"Shaw Service Satisfis," (Shaw Co., Tacoma, Wash.)
"Yours for Service," (Halletts, Cedar Rapids, la.)
"The Store of Greater Service," (Landsburgs, Wash-
ington, D. C.)

Quality Calls for a Slogan

Quality and service always go hand in hand, so if you
are catering to a clientile with whom the price appeal
is secondary consideration, you may find what you want
from out of the following examples :

"Always the Best at Lahman's," (Lahman's, Tren-
ton, N. J.)

"Kaufman Quality Stands Alone," (Kaufman, Rich-
mond, Va.)

"Where You Would Naturally Expect to Find the
Best," (Sampson, Boise, Idaho.)

"Where Quality Is as Represented," (White and Mac-
Naught, Minneapolis, Minn.)

"The Quality Store of Portland," (Meur and Frank
Co., Portland, Ore.)

"Merchandise of Merit Only," (Lipman Wolke and Co..
Portland, Ore.)

"Since 1828— Quality," (Lemon and Co., Louisville,

Ky.)

"Glaster on the Package Is the Stamp of Quality,"
(Glaster, Harrisburg, Pa.)

"Always Look for the H. H. Quality Mark," (Hays.
Portland, Ore.) - «. J' .

"Goldheim's Pledged to Qual-
ity," (Goldheim's, Washington.
D. C.)

"It Pays to Pay for Quality,"
(Stieffs, Lancaster, Pa.)

"Quality Is Economy," (Arm-
strong, McClenahan Co., Cedar
Rapids, la.)

"Quality Without Extrava-
gance," (Grand Leader (Jo.,
Houston, Texas).

"A Fifth Avenue Store of
Character," (Curry Lehman,
Kansas City, Mo.)

"The Shop of Courtesy and
Refinement," (Friedmans, Bir-
mingham, Ala.)

The Price Appeal Slogan

This would be a fimny world
if we all could get along in busi-
ness without that very important
factor — the price appeal. But
the fact remains that the price
appeal is absolutely indispensible
to some businesses and possibly
yours is included in this bunch.
If so, here is a further selec-
, ^, , , tion of slogans that are bringing

home the bacon for their owners and will do the same
for you:

"Where Thrift Meets Quality," (Louis Blummel Co.,
Houston, Texas.) ;

"The Shop of Sensible Prices," (Millard's, Readiiig,
Pa.)

„'r'^ ■ ^^y^ '° ^^' a' Goldenberg's," ((Joldenberg's
Washmgton, D. C.)

"Where Every Day Is Bargain Day," (Soutter's, Har-
risburg, Pa.)

"King of Values," (Kingsbacher, Pittsburgh, Pa.)
Where Bargains Reign," (Colyers, Los Angeles,
Cahf.) ■

"The Store with the Reputation for Good Values,"
(Army and Navy Store, Los Angeles, Calif.)

"Big Stocks— Small Prices," (Ferdinands, Worcester,
Mass.)

"The Big Home Store with the Little Prices," (Bem-
heimer's, Baltimore, Md.)

''No Matter What's Advertised It's Cheaper Here,"
(Harold Grut Shop, Richmond, Va.)

"The Store that Knows no Competition. You Save
at the U. S. Store," (U. S. Store, New York, N. Y.)

'Lowest Prices our Chief Attraction," (Troy Dry
Goods Co., Troy, N. Y.)

"Everything Costs less at Weisberger's," (Weisberger's,
Richmond, Va.)

"With the Old Price Way— Just as Good, but So
Much Less," (The New York Store, Boise, Idaho.)
" Frailey's Cheaper Every Day," (Frailey's, Lancaster,
Pa.)

"Where Your Dollar Counts Most," (Fingers, Inc.,
Richmond, Va.)

"Save Money. Shop First at Stearns," (Stearns,
Cleveland, Ohio.)

"Where Your Dollar Does Its Duty," (White House,
Los Angeles, Calif.)

A Pointed Question

Has the Publicity Campaign Helped to
Sell More Flowers ?

This was a query we used to get in the
early stages of our advertising. Then
came the period when our campaign sank
in a bit and was followed by retailers
doing more advertising on their own initi-
ative, or through encouragement from our
national campaign results. Then came the
co-operative advertising in many of the
cities, and which has kept increasing in
some centers, due to the efficient manner
in which they are receiving local sub-
scriptions. All are paying in like pro-
portions, which of course, is the healthful
way.

We note a tendency in localities where
the plan is not equitable, to fall off in
the co-operative advertising as well as in
retail florists personal advertising, due to
enthusiasm being on the wane, caused by
the relaxation of the co-operative adver-
tising, which of course, is the natural
trend of action, one depending on the
other.

Have you noticed in the districts where
advertising is being carried on, the in-
creased demand for flowers, also the con-
trary conditions where advertising is not
carried on? Success will come_ only by
continued and persistent advertising.

A new query comes to me every now
and then; this is a healthy sign, and
should ordinarily be a regular thing,
namely — ^what has become of national ad-
vertising in the magazines? How many
have missed it lately, and why has it not
appeared the past few months? Well,
the answer is simple. Your Publicity
Committee cannot function unless it haa
the money to carry on, and prefers to
wait until the needed funds are in the
treasurer's exchequer, before _ they can
contract for magazine advertising. We

{Continued from page 428)

will soon feel the need of its continuance,
and we will have to use tvoce the effort
to get back where we were a year ago.

Phillips Brooks once said: "Be courage-
ous. Be independent. Only remember
where the true courage and independence
came from." How well this reminds ub
of our national campaign. Let's see: — ^be
courageous — we were, particularly as we
entered into our campaign when the ma-
jority felt it was not the proper time.
Be independent; we took a decided stand
and went ahead. Only remember where
the true courage and independence came
from. In the midst of co-operative and
other forma of publicity, don't forget your
national campaign which gave the support
and lent enthusiasm for still greater ad-
vertising among florists than ever before.
Support the fund and keep the ball roll-
ing, so that all will benefit as well as
yourself. We must all be ready to prove
the worth of our campaign by sending in
our contribution. Henry Penn,

Chairman Nat. Pub. Campaign.

! A Valentine Reminder

Realizing an editor is apt to be forget-
ful, Mas Schling, of Fifth ave., sent us a
reminder that St. Valentine's Day was
at hand through the medium a novel
shaped postal card which, when opened
out, formed a heart of the deepest red.
The wording inside was short and sweet,
I just an invitation to all recipients to send
their friends a greeting, through Max
I Schling. We do not doubt but that the
I red heart served as a prompter to many.

Chas. H. Grakelow Honored

An informal dinner in honor of
Charles H. Grakelow, who is exalted ruler
of the Philadelphia Lodge of Elks, was
given recently by the officers of the Seran-
ton Lodge of Elks. A large number of
influential business men were present.

Was the Char£[e Too High?'

I received an F. T. D. order to make
a spray of sis and a half dozen (78)
Carnations, white, for which I charged the
F. T. D. customer $17, less 20 per cent.
The spray was made with three bimches
of Asparagus ferns and good silk chiffon.
The man is highly offended, writing me

i that he thinks $10 would have been a
fair price. White Carnations we sold at

I $1.50 per doz., because we had so many at
the time, while pink we sold for $2 per

I doz. Our price to our customers would

j have been $20, but thinking that probably
further out in the country they work for
a little less, I made his charge less than

I what it would have been if one of our
customers.

j Will you please place this before the
trade and let them decide, because I do
want to be fair. G. K., Pa.

The Sign of the Rose

George Beban, motion actor and pro-
ducer, was at Louisville in the closing days
of January past, where his sketch, "The
Sign of the Rose," was put on in that
city's leading motion picture house, the
Strand. The manager of the Strand came
to the F. Walker Co., florists, 312 West
Chestnut st., asking it to arrange a set-
ting of a flower shop on the Strand stage,
behind the screen, for Mr. Beban's use.
This, they were quite satisfied to do,
receiving in exchange an advertisement on
the screen for 10 days.

Our illustration is of the stage setting

arranged by the F. Walker Co., Mr. Be-
ban paying the company a hign compli-
ment for its arrangement of this flower
shop setting, and asking to have a photo-
graph made so he could carry it on his
transcontinental tour, as no other house
visited by him had been able to give him
what he wanted in the way of a setting
until he reached Louisville. He asked for
a photograph, so as to be able to send
it ahead, so other houses would be able
to arrange a similar setting for him. The
Roses were supplied by Gebhart & Co.;
these were all artificial and yet so nearly
perfect that when they were finished with
them on the stage, the F. Walker Co.,

result that they sold so rapidly the com-

order. The American Beauty Roses shown
in the vase on the floor were supplied
by the A. L. Randall Co., of Chicago and
Mr. Beban, declaring they were the near-
est thing to perfection he had ever seen,
was so pleased with them that he asked
us to let him have them to carry on his
tour, as he was afraid he could not dupli-

State Flower of Indiana

Since 1913 the Carnation has been the
State flower of Indiana. A bill baa re-
cently been introduced into the Senate of
that state, the effect of which, if passed,
will be to change the Carnation bloom
for the flower of the Tulip tree, Lirioden-
dron tulipifera. The would-be-witty daily
press has recently been trying to ridicule
this change. Possibly they would not at-
tempt to do this if they had ever beheld
a fine speciment of our native Tulip tree,
which, when full grown, often reaches up
toward the heavens, 100ft. or more, and
whose blue green foliage, both by reason
of its form and color is extremely hand-
some. 'The flowers, too, of this tree are
worthy of more than a passing glance, for
they are unique and attractive.

In addition to all of these substantial
qualities which the bloom of the Tulip
tree has in its favor as a state flower
we should give attention also to the senti-
mental side of this displacement of the
Carnation for the flower of the Tulip
tree. Any Hoosier lad can enter a retail
flower store and, by putting down a few
bills on the counter, carry away a bunch
of Carnations to his "Columbine"; that's
easy, a mere carpet knight can do that,
but when a brave Hoosier lad climbs a
Tulip tree and at the risk of life and liinb
gathers a bunch of flowers to carry to his
lady, that's something heroic, an act
worthy of a man from Indiana.

Rival Steamers Showered with
Flowers

The Pacific Mail Ship Golden State
and the Matson Liner Hawkeye State, two
of the latest examples of American ship-
building art, sailed from Baltimore on
Feb. 15, at the same hour (1 pjn.) on
their maiden voyages, both bound for San
Francisco. Of course, they will not race,
they will merely see which will get there
first. As the two steamships straightened
out on their course down the Patapsco
River amid the din of steam whistles and
the cheers of thousands of spectators, an
airplane circled overhead, dropping enow-
ere of flowers on both crafts.

San Francisco, Calif.

The Sonoma Seed and Nursery Co., has
moved its nursery and trial grounds from
Sebastopol, Cal., to Santa Rosa, Cal.,
where it is planned to grow seed on a
large scale. „ , „

R. C. McGill of the McGiU Seed Grow-
ers Co., has just returned from an ex-
tended Eastern trip.

William O. Ward of Sacramento has
taken over the wholesale seed growing de-
partment of the Valley Seed Co., of that
city._ The Valley Seed Co., as such, will
continue only as a retail business.

Bakersfield is to have a new flower
shop, namely The Art Floral Shop, at
1818 Chester ave. It was opened on Feb.
1 by Roy Benner, who is well known to
the trade, particularly in Los Angeles,
where he made his home for several years.

Raleigh, N. C. — J. L. O'Quinn & Co.,
florists, have purchased the building on
North Exchange St., which was occupied
by Smith's Cafe, for over 30 years. The
structure is now being remodeled to serve
as the uptown offices and store of this
firm. The floral concern will occupy the
entire building, two floors and basement,
which is expected to be ready for oc-
cupancy some time in March. Attractive
display windows are included in the plans
for the interior, which will be up-to-date
in every way. The remodeling work will
entail an expenditure of several thousand
dollars.

Toronto, Ont.

Tbe Market

The shortage of flowers which has
existed in Toronto since the first of the
year ia now over. Bulbous stock is in
heavy supply, such as Tulips, Narcissi,
Paperwhite, Daffodils, etc. There are
also quantities of Lilies of the Valley, or-
chids. Mignonette and Violets. Good
Roses are now coming in.

Business has been spasmodic, but aver-
ages up well. Prices are about the same
as at Christmas, except Carnations, which
have shown a slight drop. They have
beefl moving very slowly. St. Valentine's
is giving the demand for Violets an im-
petms.

News Notes

F. Saunders has had a lot of ont-of-
town work. There is a good demand for

flowers for St. Valentine's Day and stock
is coming in- freely.

G. W. Warren has had some beautiful
window displays of Spring flowers in
fancy baskets. He thinks when growers
start cutting prices, all the retailers
should be given fair and even treatment.

T. Emery, manager of Alhambra Florist,
reports numerous orders for presentation
baskets and a good demand for pans of
Hyacinths of which he had some very fine
specimens.

Dunlops, Ltd., have been busy and have
been able to secure an abundance of
stock. Fine quality Koses are now being
received, so that there is a wide choice.

Tidy & Son have found trade firm with
a good demand for design work. First
quality Rosea are scarce, but the growers
promise lots of these soon.

Simmons & Son find business varies
daily. Some days are exceedingly busy,
giving a high average. There is a good
supply of the general rxm of flowers and
orders have been filled promptly. This
is a welcome change from the shortage
which has existed since the first of the
year.

Florist Club Dance

One of the prettiest dances of the
season was the "Say it with Flowers"
dance, held at the Metropolitan Assembly
Parlors, on Feb. 7. The guests, who nimi-
bered over 200, were received by the Pres-
ident and Mrs. McFadden, Mrs. Moore,
Mrs. Waters, Miss Gafiikin, Mrs. Harris-
son and the two past presidents, G. M.
Geraghty and H. G. Dillemuth.

The beautiful decorations of Daffodils
in wall baskets with streamers of "Say it
with Flowers," bluebirds, palms^tc, were
arranged by S. A. Frost, W. Hoath, W.
Bowers and E. Sanderson. Dancing was
in charge of E. Simmons, J. Plmnbtree
and L. Waters. The local papers paid
tribute to the work of this committee be-
cause, during the whole evening all had
partners, the cards were- fUled and miss-
ing partners were brought together. G. M.
Geraghty led the grand march, the finest
pageant the club his yet staged.

For those who did not dance there was
a progressive euchre, presided over by
George Gard and J. E. Carter. The prize
winners were .Mrs. Griffith and W.
Mearns; Mrs. Litton and Mr. Griffith;
Mrs. McBride and Mr. Holman.

The prizes were all in keeping with the
occasion and were donated by members:
Azaleas by Geo. Gard and J. A. Neal;
vase by Mrs. Waters; Roses by L. Waters
and Tidy & Son; jardiniere by G. M.
Geraghty; flower retainer by J. J. Hig-
gins, and pan of Hyacinths by Mrs. Bar-
i ber.

Ontario Hortlcultuiists Meet

The Ontario Horticultural Society
met in Toronto Feb. 11. Many commer-
cial florists and growers were in atten-
dance in addition to amateurs. Que.«tions
of interest to the floral trade were dis-
cussed.

Diseased bulbs came up for lengthy dis-
cussion. Several growers stated that they
had sent specimens of imported bulbs to
the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and to
Cornell University. Experts from these
institutes had reported that the bulbs car-
ried a dangerous fungus disease. A com-
mittee was then appointed to investigate
the extent of the disease and to draft a
resolution as to what steps are to be taken
against the importation of these bulbs.
The committee at a later session recom-
mended that government inspection be
made of all bulbs. It also recommended
examination of domestic bulbs offered for
sale.

A resolution was passed favoring the
establishment of a botanical garden near
the University of Toronto and commend-
ing Prof. R. B. Thomson for his work in
this connection.

Another resolution requested legisla-
tion providing punishments for anyone
guilty of misrepresentation and deception
m connection with the sale of shrubs,
etc.

Among the speakers were H. J. Moore
who gave an illustrated lecture on the
culture of Roses; Dr. A. Rolph, president
of the Rose society; Prof. Tomlinson of
the O. A. C, Guelph; W. Macoun, Central
Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Many valu-
able papers were read.

Outside Notes

Charles F. Guthrie, florist of Strat-
ford has disposed of his business to K
Harmer.

The Gardeners and Florists Ass'n of
Hamilton, held its regular meeting on
Feb. 7 with President Clarence Price in the
chair. Prof. Crow of Guelph spoke on
Greenhouse Plant Culture. There was a
good crowd and much discussion followed
the address. On Jan. 19 the association's
annual dance was held at the Alexandria
Dancing Academy, with an attendance of
over 250. On Feb. 10, the florists gath-
ered at the store of the John Connor Co
and discussed the sales tax.

Edward Gale, of the John Connor Co.,
Hamilton, says that business has been
average, and is improving rapidly. Their
window was beautifully decorated with
red hearts, gold arrows and Spring flowers
for St. Valentine's Day.

The Arcade Florist, Hamilton, sent out
corsage orders on St. Valentine's day in
large red heart-shaped boxes. G. C. K

j New York City

Tlie Market

Feb. 15. — Had the wholesale cut flow-
er market been fairly sold out prior to Fri-
day morning of last week and the in-
coming supply of that morning been the
only feature, it would have been com-
pratively easy to have noted whether the
sales of flowers for Lincoln's Day, Feb.
12, had any effect on the market or not,
and furthermore, if the market had been
sold out on Saturday morning it would
have been easy to determine whether the
sales for Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, in-
creased the ordinary demand. The facts
in the case, however, are something like
this: A large supply which had been
accumulating during the week of all kinds
of staple and miscellaneous flowers had
to be disposed of on Saturday, very large-
ly at buyers' price; however, even this
selling at sacrifice prices put the market
in little better condition than it had been
through last week. Monday of this week
brought a moderate demand, stimulated
a little by fact that this was Valentine's
Day. Today (Tuesday), the market is in
full supply and the demand is light.

American Beauty Roses, and all other
red Hoses continue to be in short supply",
special grade blooms of the former are
selling at SI to SI. 50 each, other grades
are bringing proportionate prices. Top
grade blooms of other Roses show a range
of price from 6c. to 20c., Hadley of that
grade is realizing 60c., Key 75c., Crusader

35c., and Premier 40c. Xo. 2 grade blooms
are now touching the lowest price for the
season, namely §2 to §6 per 100. The
general supply is more than adequate to
meet the present demand.

There are medium heavy arrivals of
Carnations, which are moving out slowly;
select grade blooms in general are going
at §■! to $5 per 100, with occasional sales
of extra choice blooms of the preferred
varieties at $6. Other grades are bring-
I ing $2 to $3.

I There are ample arrivals of Cattleyas
! which are being disposed of rather slowly
j at 20c. to oOc. each with occasional sales
of extra choice blooms at 60c. to 75c., but
I such sales are exceptional. There are a
i few Cypripedium still in the market sell-
j ing at $2 to S3 per doz., and Oncidium at
8c. to 10c. per flower. Gardenias are in
I extremely short supply, and consequently
1 are selling at from $8 to §12 per doz.
Lily of the Valley is not moving out as
well as it did a week ago and prices have
taken a tumble from §3 to $5, and occa-
sionally $6 per 100. There is a large
supply of white Lilies, the inferiors sell-
ing at §8 to $10, and the better blooms
at §15 and occasionally $20 per 100, but
the latter figure is hard to capture.

The market has a large supply of all
kinds of bulbous blooms, which the sea-
son affords; the list comprises Callas in
rather large quantity at §2 to S3 per doz.
with occasional sales of some extra large
blooms on long stems at S4; Freesias of
all varieties and in all lengths of stem,
moving out slowly at about 15c to 35c. per
bunch of a doz., Narcissus, Paperwhitea at
30c. to 50c., Soleil d'Or at 50c. to 75c.,
and Golden Spur at 25c. to 35e., all per

bunch. There are now in the market
splendid blooms of Narcissus Van Wav-
eren's Giant and King Alfred, which are
in a class by themselves and on which it
is difficult to quote prices, though the
former is bringing, as far as we can
learn, from §1 upward, and the latter 75c.
to $1 per bunch, and they look to be
worth the money. The Tulip supply ia
abundant, and includes not only the Lor-
raine varieties and those of the Lor-
raine type, but the double Oouronne d'Or
and some Darwins. The prices outside
of the Darwins range from 25c. to 50c. per
bunch, the Darwin's from $1 to §1.50.

The supply of miscellaneous flowers ia
more than adequate for the demand and
comprises Acacia at §2 to §4. Antirrhi-
num at 75c. to $2,50, Buddleia at 50c. to
SI, Calendula at 15c. to 75c., Lilac at §2,
Mignonette at 50c. to 75c., Myosotis at
25c. to 35c., Primula at 15c. to 25c., Wall-
flowers, which is meeting with very slow
sale at 15c to 3oc., all per bunch. Daisies
at S2 to S3, Pansies at §1 to S2, Sweet
Peas at §1 to §3, all per 100. The story
of the Violets is a rather sad one all
around. The arrivals in the market for
Valentine's Day sales were extremely
hea^-y and the demand, as compared with
this supply, was pitifully light. Both
doubles and singles for that day sold at
about 50c. to 60c. and perhaps occasionally
75c. per 100, but the extremely large num-
ber of left overs are begging for buyers
today at about 25c. per 100.

As regards greens, the present supply
is abundant both of indoor grown and
hardy.

Growers Association

In connection ^rith the meeting of
growers on Friday of last week, and the
association formed thereat, A. M. Hen-
shaw, chairman of the projected Allied
Florists Trade Ass'n of New York, asks
that all growers who consign their prod-
ucts to New York City market, send their
names to him as secretary and treasurer
of the Growers unit of the association.
Mr. Henshaw says that he is receiving
checks for six months account on the
basis of S2 per 1000 sq. ft., of ground sur-
face under glass and all growers are asked
to send in their checks as above.

The International Flower Show Com-
mittee held a meeting on Monday after-
noon of this week with all members pres-
ent and much encouraged by the outlook.
Final arrangements for the show have
been completed and the committee desires
to inform intending exhibitors in the com-
petitive class of the necessity of making
their entries not later than March 10.
Great interest is being manifested in the
window box exhibit, which will be con-
ducted under the auspices of "The City
Gardens Club" of which the president is
Mrs. James M. Metcalfe, who is also pres-
ident of the Bedford Hills (N.\".) Garden
Club. It is reported that seven or eight
entries have already been made in the
window boxes class.

Have you received a copy of the final
schedule ? If not, apply to Secretary
John Yoimg, and a copy will be sent to
you immediately. But little space remains
available in the trade section, therefore,
intending exhibitors desiring to show in
that section should make prompt appli-
cation for space.

We noted this week some unusually
fine, well grown Primula obconica and
Forbesii, English Ivy, and Nephrolepia
ferns at the place of J. K. Allen, zhe
wholesale florist. While this potted stock
was all good, the English 1%-y was es-
pecially excellent.

On Monday night of this week there
was held at the Plaza Hotel under the
auspices of the American Legion and for
the benefit of the children of the liberated
regions of France, a Poppy Ball, which
was a picturesque and largely attended
afi'air. The ballroom was transformed
into a veritable French garden of the old-
fashioned sort and thousands of red and
yellow Poppies were used in the decora-
tions. The unique feature was the danc-
ing of 20 girls from the Pall Mall dancers
who formed a Poppy circle, and finally
emerged into an old-fashioned bouquet of
Poppies.

Miss Eva Bumside, grandniece of the
famous General Bumside, appeared as
the Poppy Queen. The girls wore dresses
of the shades of the Poppies that grow on
"Flanders Fields." The members of the
American Legion have subscribed for a
million imitation Poppies, to be made by
French war orphans and sold on Decora-
tion Day all over the country. All funds
are to be sent to Mme. Millerand who
heads the French, Committee.

We note this week, at the United Cut
Flower Co., some of the most beautiful
Darwin Tulips we ever have seen in the
cut flower market; the colors were red,
and deep lavender; we regret that we
could not learn the varieties. At this
same store we saw splendid blooms of that
new Narcissus, Van Waveren's Giant,
whose extraordinary beauty puts it in a
class by itself.

As we are going to press we regret to
learn of the death of John S. Nicholas,
proprietor of the flower and fruit store at
the Grand Central Terminal Station, at
2.30 o'clock this (WednesdayJ morning in
his home at 270 Riverside Drive.

Cleaning Glass

We are unfortunate in regard to
the fact that our greenhouses are situated
on the North side of a railroad shifting
yard, the prevailing winds are from the
South, and our houses are covered with
smoke and coal dust from the shifting
engines. Rain does not clean the glaaa.
Can you tell us any preparatii n that will
be of service to us in cleaning this glass?
—V. L. Co., N. C.

— ^This is a subject that causes many
greenhouse men a lot of worry. Nothing
simple, so far as we know, has ever been
evolved to remove smoke which appears
to embed itself into the surface.

The best we can recommend is to use
one quart of hydrofluoric acid, mis
thoroughly with five gallons of water.

The mixture must be made in an acid
proof tank, one covered with wax will
serve. Tests should be made on the glass
before proceeding with the whole. If the
acid is too strong, it will frost the glass
when it dries. Apply with a small moj
very carefully and use rubber gloves.

If any grower has discovered a safer
quick acting glass cleaner, we shall b(
pleased to know of it.

Tbe Market

Feb. 15.— The year 1920 made
such a splendid record in the selling of
cut flowers on the Chicago wholesale
market that comparisons since then, on
all occasions when flowers are in special
demand, does not compare favorably. It
was the same at Christmas also for the
New Year celebrations. Wholesalers and
retailers did a satisfactory business, but
in comparison with the year previous the
volume of business done was less. It is
practically the same for Valentine's Day
just passed. There was a good business,
but it did not come up to the fullest an-
ticipations from the vieivpoint of the
wholesalers. Nevertheless, there was a
large amount of stock moved and, while
no new record was made for the occasion,
everyone is apparently satisfied. Sunday
is always a bad day to precede St. Valen-
tine's Day; any other day in the week it
is argued would be better than a Monday,
as the day before, most of the business
is placed, and people are not out on
busmess pursuits on Sunday. The whole-
salers remained open Sunday until early
in the afternoon giving local retailers a
chance to buy. The retailers also were
open. At this writing, a full report of
the business for the day from a retailers
standpoint is not available.

There has been a big improvement in
the supply of Eoses during the past week,
but as yet, there are no more than can be
used to advantage. Roses are slower in
coming into full supply than any other
product on the market.. Present weather
conditions, providing no change occurs,
will bring the supply to probably the
highest point of the season within the next
10 days.

The supply of Carnations is the largest
of the season so far, and quality is excel-
lent. Prices are gradually coming down;
offers were made and accepted the past
week to large buyers at $25 per 1000.
, Bulbous stock is in full supply. Tulips
m many varieties are abundant and the
supply of Narcissus is very large. Golden
bpur predominates at present, though
some Emperor, Princeps and Mrs. Langtry
have been seen in small lots. In Tulips,
there are the single and early doubles
and a few Darwins, notably the variety
Wm. Copeland pale violet, the earliest
and first on the market in its class.
Jiurillo and Coronne d'Or in doubles and
^a Heme, Tom Moore, Proserpine, White
Hawk, Yellow Prince, Flamingo, and Mon.
Tresor, singles, are the predominant va-
rieties at present. To a casual observer
of the market at the present tune, the
complaint of the bulb forces that much
of the stock is going blind would be the
most remote of all their considerations
Whatever portion of the present crop that
may fail in blooming, has not mad^ any
apparent dent in the present supply.

Violets are plentiful, the stock from the
New York growers came through in poor
condition and brought very low prices.
■Ijiere IS plenty of Sweet Peas and enough
of Valley. Cattleyas are more plentiful,
they figured to a large extent in the show
windows of the retailers for St. Valen-
tine's Day. Some Oncidiums are to be
had, and still a few Cypripediums. Ericas
from California are to be had at many of
the wholesale houses. There is enough of
peen goods at the advanced price, caused
by higher express rates.

News Notes

John Michelsen, of the E. C. Am-
ing Co., says they had' a good trade for
St. Valentine's Day, but it did not come
up to the trade incidental to the same
day in 1920, in point of quantity of stock
sold, or prices realized.

Phil Schupp, of the J. A. Budlong Co.,
is satisfied with the trade of the past
week. It is the opinion of Mr. Schupp
that there was more demand more potted
plants than cut, flowers. The business of
this company has shown a large increase
in the past year over that of 1919.

Thos. Conlon, of the Illinois Plant Co.,
Batavia, is sending to A. Henderson &
Co., some well grown Cyclamen plants.
Mr. Conlon is an expert grower of Cycla-
mens and other pot plants. We may ex-
pect many good things from him in the
near future.

The duty of Kennicott Bros. Co., as set
forth by Secretary Pollworth. "Is to make
sales prices so inviting as to stimulate the
retail dealers to buy more. .To satisfy the

grower to produce more, and facilitate

such distribution at a maximum of satis-
faction." These are business ethics worthy
of emulation by all connected with the
trade.

J. W. Koning, of Baartman & Koning,
Sassemheim, Holland, is in the city. He
says all present theories of bulbs not
blooming is wrong, but fails to give his
personal views of the causes complained
of. He states he is booking some orders
and is assured of the full orders from old
customers as soon as they feel at liberty
to buy. Many would buy now under ex-
isting conditions, but feel under obliga-
tions to abide by the ruling of the asso-
ciation.

Bassett & Washburn have renewed their
lease on their store, 178 N. Wabash ave.,
for three years, beginning May 1. 'The
worries of moving or unrest is therefore,
not a matter of immediate consideration.

The Woman's National Farm and Gar-
den Ass'n will hold in the Art Institute,
March 8 to April 5, a combined exhibi-
tion of agriculture, applied arts, and
landscape garden designs. This is the
first time in the history of the Art Insti-
tute that it has combined with the archi-
tectural exhibit, that of landscape and
garden design.

A number of prizes are being offered;
Van Doren Shaw has given a problem for
the construction of a garden the correct
solution to be awarded $100. Prizes for
garden benches, bird houses, bird baths,
fountains, and sun dials. The public
schools and private schools have been
asked to compete with the art students
for the various awards.

The retail stores made a fine showing
for St. Valentine's Day. Besides the fine
assortment of cut flowers, there was much
fine stock in pots, baskets, and boxes
mainly Dutch Hyacinths, Cyclamen, Cin-
erarias, and Primula obconica. This is
about all that was offered in blooming
plants. Orchids, Valley, and Sweet Peas,
were leaders in cut flowers for the day.
One loop store featured a large heart as
a centerpiece for its window display: this
was filled exclusively with Cattleyas.
There were red hearts everywhere with
little Cupids and, in one window display,
there was a. number of silvered heart
shaped designs wrapped with glistening
tinsel. There was more novelty in boxes,
vases, other containers and accessories for
the occasion than there was in cut flowers
themselves.

Mrs. J. C. Eennison, Sioux City, la..
Miss Lillian Toms, Colonial Flower Shop,
Goshen, Ind. Arthur Peterson and wife,
Escanaba, Mich., were visitors the past
week.

A Stag Banquet

The stag banquet and smoker, given
by the North Shore Horticultural Society
at Lake Forest, Monday night was an en-
jo.vable affair. About 300 were present.
Jos. Kohant, president of Chicago Florists
Club was one of the speakers. Fred
Lautenschlager, T. E. Waters also repre-
sented the club and addressed the gather-
ing. Professional entertainers from Chi-
cago were on hand and gave a spicy en-
tertainment. Geo. B. Wilson presided.

St. Louis, Mo.

The Market

Feb. 12. — The market the past week
has held up strongly. Continuous dark
and cloudy weather has kept Violets and
Sweet Peas from blooming; at the time
of writing, the outlook for a good supply
of Violets for St. Valentine's Day is not
very encouraging. Today Violets are
quoted at .$2 per 100 and Sweet Peas, ?2
to %i per 100. Roses and Carnations are
holding stiff prices. Split Carnations are
selling at $6 to $8 per 100, while others
are realizing $10 to 812. Roses, selling
from 15g. and up are being cleaned; some
Beauty of poor foliage and color were
seen here the past week. The best were
quoted at $3 per doz., while the poorest
were sold at $15 per 100. Bulbous stock
is selling well. Ferns are now quoted at
$4..50 to $.5 per 1000.

Feb. 14. — At the time of writing,
weather is clear and warm. Valentine
business is being well advertised.

Club Meeting

The St. Louis Florists' Club held its
regular monthly meeting at the store-
room of H. G. Eeming, about 60 members
attending, with President W. A. Rowe in
the chair. Among the visitors were A. N.

dianapolis, Ind., and Geo. Hampton, of
Jos. G. Neidinger Co., Philadelphia, Pa.
After reading the minutes, Jules Bourdet
spoke on publicity and what they pro-
posed to do in advertising St. Valentine's
Day in the local papers. It was decided
to spend $1000 for Easter in newspaper
advertising. Mrs. Bettie Boyd caused
quite a controversy in regard to the selec-
tion of a State flower for Missouri. She
wanted to obtain the endorsement of the
St. Louis Florists Club for the Daisy as
against Red Haw. After a great discus-
sion the wild Rose was the choice.

The feature of the meeting was the
staging of Carnations and other flowers.
F. J. Fillmore & Son showed plants of
Primula obconica. Primula sinensis gigan-
teum and Primula malacoides Schilleri.
A. Jablonsky, Olivette, Mo., showed a
variegated Carnation seedling and the
pink Ruth Baur, together with White
Wonder and Merry Xmas. Baur & Stein-
kamp showed Edna Red, a vase of White
Harvester and Maine Sunshine. W. A.
Rowe exhibited Calendulas, yellow Nar-
cissi and Tulips. W. J. Pilcher displayed
two vases of Premier and Columbia Roses;
Joe Hanser a vase of California Violets,
and Wm. C. Smith, an exhibit of Cineraria
plants.

A rather pathetic incident occurred at
the club, old Tom Carroll, a Carnation
grower of the old school, who for many
years has made a living playing the gui-
tar and singing songs on the streets of
St. Louis, was offered a home in the
mountains by his daughter in California.
As he lacked a few dollars to make the
trip, a collection was taken up and quite
a few dollars were pressed into his hands
by H. G. Berning from his brother florists,
rhe poor old blind man, shedding tears
of joy and gratitude, was indeed a sad
sight for all present.

C. E. De Weber, of Olivette, Mo., E. W
Gay, Belleville, 111., and Geo. Pring, of the
Missouri Botanical Gardens were the
judges of the exhibits of cut flowers and
plants.

H G. Berning was given a vote of
thanks for the entertainment afforded the
members of the club.

Valentine Day Business

Approximately 20 per cent below
the totals of last year is a conservative
estimate of the St. Valentine*s Day bua-
ness, closed today, Feb. 14. Falling this
year on Monday, and hence creating two
good sales days, Saturday and Monday,
conditions were, more or less advantage-
ously different. There was plenty of stock
of all kinds except good Sweet Peaa and
short Roses, and at the close of business,
a generous surplus was in evidence in the
wholesale houses. Violets in particular,
were in superabtmdance, even much lower-
ed prices failing to move them.

There are two cogent reasons for this
substantial decline: first, reduced general
prosperity, and second, the absence of ap
gressive publicity. The former is un-
doubtedly the most potent, as it means
less money in the hands of the great mid-
dle class from whom came the increased
business in the heyday of our recent pros-
perity. Business does not stand still; it
either advances or declines. To preserve
the high levels of the past few years, will '
require improved methods of merchandis-
ing, and the use of persistent publicity.
Flowers have been given a place in the
everyday life of the public; its preserva-
tion is entirely in the hands of the florista. i
J. McL.

Feb. 12.— Thus far this month the
weather man has not been too kind to the
grower, aa we have not yet had one bright
day, although we are now nearly half
through the month. The continued cloudy
weather makes it hard on the Sweet Peas,
which we fully expected would be well in
for St. valentine*s Day, but this time we
guessed wrong, and we shall miss this
particular flower next week, as it is al-
ways a popular one among the valentine
flowers. True, there will be plenty of
Violets, Carnations and Roses, as well as
bulbous stock, so doubtless, we shall get
by all right. Besides, there will be ample
supplies of pot plants in bloom, chief
among which will be Cyclamen, Begonias
and Cinerarias and some Primulas of fine
quality. Prices will not advance any this
year as the state of the market and other
conditions would not justify it; indeed we
shall be glad to clean up and get ready
for another start. Lent is here and the
first week always sees a slack demand,
after which business seems to go on as
usual. Easter comes early this year, and
the growers of Lilies will be glad to see
a little more simshine from now on, and
perhaps we shall set it as the old saying r
goes, "an early Easter brings an early
Spring." Let us hope this year the rule
will be proved. |

Carnations are now selling at $5 and S6 i
per 100: wholesale Roses S12 to $25; I
Callas 8.3 to $4 per doz.; Violets $1 per \
100. Retail prices on Roses runs from S2 I
to S5 per doz.; Carnations ?1.50 to 82: I
Callas and Easter Lilies $4 to $6 per doz.; i
Violets and Sweet Peas 50e. per bunch
and up. There is plenty of bulb stock I
on hand, which usually fetches $1 to SI. 25 i
per doz. The stores are handsomely deco- ■
rated in anticipation of St. Valentine's I

Montreal, Que.

The monthly meeting of the Montreal <
Gardeners and Florists Club was held on <
Feb 7. President R. Burrows was in tb» •
chair and several new members were ^ -■
mitted by ballot. The Executive Cotb- ■
mittee had a lot of business to place be-
fore the meeting. The revision of the "
rules for the proposed Spring Show had *
been worked out in committee and were ■
adopted.

One of the rules governing the election t
of members was altered to read that the ••
candidate for membership could be bal- '
loted for on the same night as proposed. At '
ter a good deal of discussion this was car- '
ried. The Spring Show is to be held on ■
March 7, will consist of 67 sections in-
cluding bulbous and flowering plants, as
well as cut blooms, which will be shown
by both private gardeners and commercial
members.

The St. Lambert Horticultural Society's
Executive Committee recently met to re-
port progress. A two-day's show was
agreed upon and a committee was formed
to prepare the program for it. Mr. H. H,
Craig was in the chair. Mr. George Bale
was asked to be secretary-treasurer for
this season, to which he agreed.

Rud florist. 58 years old, died at his resi* ,
dence, at Lachine on Friday last. He is
survived by his mother, his wife, and four *
sons. A lover of flowers, a friend of
Mother Earth, he had, during his lifetime
wo'-ked among many flowers and fruits.
A large number of friends attended the
funeral which took place at Mount Royal
Cemetery on Saturday. The floral tributes
were larce in number, many old friends
placing their offerings on the casket.

"Jay Em" Says;

The selling of flowers in the Chicago
market has been kept abreast of the pro-
duction. Every Rose that is grown, every
Carnation that is produced has a definite
value.

The ambition of Chicago Wholesale
Houses is to sell those highly perishable
products within the shortest time at such
variation of prices as are created by the
inflexible law of supply and demand.

Eoses and Carnations must be sold each
day of the year, so as to equal in the
end a general average sales price to allow
for the grower a reasonable margin of
profit above the cost of production.

The competition among the growers for
the Chicago market is so keen that it has
resulted in QUALITY being every firm's
chief ambition.

The advertisements on this page of
Wholesalers are the leaders in this mar-
ket.

GOOD CARNATIONS

We always said we had them, now let
us see — are we right?

At the Carnation Convention "SIM'S"
CARNATIONS took 6 Firsts and 3

Seconds with 9 entries. (Not so worse, what?)

All our CARNATIONS come from Wm. Sim of Clifton-
dale. He has only about 130,000 plants. We sell his whole
output.

This about tells the Carnation story but, we have good
ORCHIDS too — the best of all varieties. Frank Dolansky,
of Lynn, has over 70,000 plants and we sell every flower that
is cut from them.

Our ROSES have always given great satisfaction.
LILIES, VIOLETS, MIGNONETTE, FREESIAS, NAR-
CISSUS, TULIPS, and all other sorts of flowers ready to
ship at all times, in any variety and in an quantity. Also
all sorts of Greens and Florists' Supplies.

Our reputation for reliability and prompt ship-
ments is O. K.

Only seven weeks to Easter. We are ready to make
contracts now.

Market Conditions

The first half of last weeks business
was very dull and drifted along in a more or j
less aimless manner, but on Feb. 10, a
decided and welcome change set in, which
was somewhat surprising, coming as it I
did with the opening of Lent. Trade was
good on Feb. 12, and there was little j
surplus to be carried over. St. Valen- j
tine's Day saw the market well supplied,
but there was quite an active demand and |
prices were well maintained. Flowers '
are coming in much more abimdantly for, i
while we have had one or two wintry
days, the sun is now at so high an angle '
that greenhouses are well warmed up
quite early in the day.

American Beauty Koses are a little '
more plentiful, but are almost entirely i
of the fancy grades; this Rose is scarcely |
grown in New England at all, and few
of the medium or short grades are ship-
ped here. Valentine's Day brought out
good demand for hybrid teas and prices
improved a little; specially popular were
Ophelia, Madame Butterfly, Hadley, Pre-
mier, Colimibia and Russell, while the
single Irish varieties and Madame Cecil
Brunner sold well. The Killameys con-
tinued to sell considerably lower than
other varieties.

Carnations are holding their own con-
sidering the rapidly increasing numbers
which are coming in. Matchess easily
overdiadows all others in number, it is.

in fact, over-plentiful; no other varieties
are at present in the rimning with it.
The prices on good Carnations nm from
$4 to $6 per 100 with Laddie realizing §8.
Quality just now is of the very best.

Sweet Peas are arriving in increasing
niunbers and no fault can be found with
the quality. Pink Spencers are most in
demand and values run all the way from
p to $3 per 100; Feb. 14 saw an excel-
lent demand for these. Violets, which
had been in the doldrums, stiffened to $2
per 100, seeming to temporarily regain
some of their old time popularity.

There is a largely increased supply of
bulbous flowers; among jSTarcissi, Golden
Spur, double Van Sion, Mrs. A. T. Ware,
and Silver Spur are prominent; prices on
these average $6 per 100; some fancies a
little more. Tulips include some good
long stemmed Darwins, which are eagerly
snapped up Freesias are now an uncer-
tain trade ; the quality for one thing
leaves much to be desired. Paperwhites
are on their last legs. At present no
Irises are coming in.

Callas average §16 per 100 and Liliums
are a slow trade at §20. Snapdragons are
rather more plentiful and some nice pink
varieties are to be seen; this is the only
color in demand; there is little call for
white, yellow or red. Yellow Marguerites,
with clearer skies and more genial
weather, are of better quality; the best
bring S3 to §4. Wall flowers, Myosotis
and ilignonette all go slowly. Pansies are
of improved quality and stems are larger,
they sell well, now made up in large
bunches.

Calendulas have increased in nxmiber
and declined in favor. The same is par-
tially true of Bachelor's Buttons. Some

good cut Acacias are arriving, mostly of
A. Baileyana, smaller lots of A. pubes-
cens are also seen.

Cattleyas are in ample supply, and
there is a very good supply of Cymbidi-
ums, Cypripediums, Odoutoglossums and
other seasonable orchids. Lily of the
Valley is not in much demand as Lent is
not a season for weddings. Some good
Gardenias are arriving and prices of these
are a little lower. Stevia has passed and,
as a consequence. Asparagus is in better
request.

Gardeners and Florists Club

The club, as one of the cooperative
bodies at the Horticultural Hall, Feb. 8
to 12, staged a group of palms and mis-
cellaneous flowering plants. The lecture
on the evening of Feb. 8, by J. Otto Thi-
low, of Philadelphia, in conjimction with
that of J. Horace McFarland, attracted
an audience of over 300. Mr. Thilow had
just arrived back from a Porto Rican trip
and his lecture on "A Trip to the South
Sea Islands and Australia" delighted his
audience.

He showed many beautiful views of the
vegetation in the Hawaiian Islands and
some of the old time craftsmen sighed
as they saw views of the wonderful Cro-
tous, Bougainvilleas, Allamandas, Hibis-
cus, etc., and the grand avenues of palms!
Mr. Thilow graphically described the
Pineapple industry near Honolulu and its
wonderful development. He said what
Porto Rico needed badly was a few thou-
sand Chinese and Japanese to improve its
methods of culture, which at present were
far behind the times. After a short stop
at Samoa, Mr. Thilow took his audience
to Australia and showed numerous beau-
tiful views in and around Sydney and
Melbourne, which has populations now of
800,000 and 700,000 respectively. Scenes
of wonderful tropical verdure, magnificent
tree ferns, great ponds of aquatics which
bloomed practically the whole year, im-
mense sheep corrals, street views depict-
ing the substantial character of Austral-
ian architecture, and beautiful scenes in
the noted Melbourne Botanical Gardens
rendered the lecture a rare treat to
everyone.

Carnation night, Feb. 15, promises to be
the biggest affair of the kind the club has
yet held. Mention of this must hold over
until next issue of The Exchange. Don't
forget the big field day on Saturday at
William Sim's, Cliftondale; everyone is
asked to be at Cliftondale as near 3 pjn.
as possible, to view the biggest planting
of high grade Carnations in New Eng-
land.

Massachusetts HortJcultural Society

Professor Osterhart of Harvard Uni-
versity gave the opening lecture in the
Winter course of this Society on Feb.
12 before a fair audience. These lec-
tures may be interesting but are too tech-
nical to be of much value to the average
amateur gardener for whom they are
primarily intended.

The annual premium list of the Society
for 1921 has been issued. There will be
]0 exhibitions, as follows: Grand Spring
Show, April 6 to 10; May Exhibition,
May 28 and 29; Rhododendron Show,
June 4 and 5; Peony exhibition with co-
operation of American Peony Society,
June 18 and 19; Rose and Strawberry
exhibition, June 25 and 26; Sweet Pea
exhibition, July 9 and 10; Gladiolus ex-
hibition with cooperation of New Eng-
land Gladiolus Society, Aug. 13 and 14;
Children's Garden exhibition, Aug. 27 and
28; Dahlia and Fruit exhibition, Sept.
10 and 11; Grand Autumn exhibition,
Nov. 2 to 6. The May and July shows
have been made possible by the gener-
osity of Miss M. R. Case and other friends
of the society.

Arrangements for the big April show
were practically completed at a meeting
of the trustees on Feb. 9. Among the
interesting exhibits will be a group of
100 Rhododendrons and Azalea Kurnme
from John S. Ames of No. Easton, grown
in natural form, and one of the beautiful
yellow Rosa Hugonis from R. and J.
Farquhar & Co.

Albert C. Burrage, president of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society, has
left, this city for a few weeks' visit to
his California estate, but will be back for
the big Spring show, which promises to
be larger and better than that of 1920.

Varions Xotes

Considerable interest is being taken
here in the Grand Central Palace Show,
New York and Boston and vicinty will.

as usual, send a good delegation and some
exhibitors.

Natick, Mass., is to hold a Merchants
and Manufacturers exposition, commenc-
ing March 1. James Wheeler, the well
known Natick florist, is general chairman
of the exposition, and his energy has al-
ready secured the cooperation and active
support of a number of leading florists.

Peter Hylen, of Randolph, furnishes as
fine a lot of bulbous flowers as comes into
the Boston market. His Gulden Spur and
Silver Spur Daffodils and Tulips in va-
riety are now unusually fine.

Thomas Roland is cutting a grand crop
of Acacia Baileyana from the large
planted out standards in his big hard
wooded plant house at Nahant.

Janiten & Kunan, of Arlington, have
over 2000 Cinerarias in very fine shape at
present, and their big stock of Easter
plants is coming along in fine style.

A meeting for the election of permanent
officers, the adoption of a constitution and
by-laws, and the transaction of other
business of the new American Orchid So-
ciety, will take place at Horticultural
Hall on April 7, the second day of the
big Spring show. A number of local life
members at $100 each have already been
secured locally.

Fred Palmer is having numerous visi-
tors to his Newton st. greeifliouses in
Brookline this week to see his veteran
and mammoth plant of Acacia pubescens,
now_ in magnificent bloom. All visitors
receive a "sprig of Acacia."

W. W. Edgar Co. is marketing a lot
of splendid Darwin Tulips in pans; they
average two feet in height and prove
great sellers.

Prof. J. G. Jack, of the Arnold Arbore-
tum gave a lecture in that institution in i
Toronto, on Thursday, Feb. 10. E. I.
Farrington lectured on the same subject
and on the same date before the Wor-
cester Horticultural Society, at Wor^
cester, Mass.

Among the speakers at the union meet-
ings in Horticultural Hall, Boston, last
week, was J. Horace McFarland, of Har-
risburg. Pa., editor of the Rose Annual.
He showed a picture of a new unnamed i
Rose originated by Dr. Van Fleet, which i
promises to be one of the most remark-
able ever produced.

Palmer, the Florist, of Brookline is in-
viting the public to view a remarkable ■
plant of Acacia pubescens at his conserva-
tory which he considers the largest in t
New England. Each visitor is promised j
an Acacia spray. (We have a picture be-|
fore us as we write; it certainly is
grand specimen.)

The Arnold Arboretum has completed i
the distribution in California, Louisiana i
and Florida of well started little Twai-
wania trees. _ This is one of the most J
beautiful conifers in the world and grows (
only on the slopes of Mt. Morrison in 1
Formosa. The seeds will not germinate,*
but E. H. Wilson, of the Arboretum staff, '
brought home a small tree which is grow- ■
ing well under glass and which has pro- -
vided cuttings, the latter being grown to i
shipping size in the nursery. Some of the t
young plants have also been shipped I
abroad. Unfortunately the Twaiwania is •
not hardy in New England.

The many friends in the trade of Gus- ►■
tave Thommen. the genial representative •
of The Exchange, will leam with regret I
of his serious illness and join with his *
friend, the writer, in wishing him a i
speedy recovery. C. N. W.

Gander Guides Blind Ox

Quacks licad the Way to the Fondi
for a Daily Drink

Greensboro, Ala., Feb. 2. — A queer tale ■*
of the extraordinary friendship existing
between a gander and a blind ox on the
farm of Braxton Holcroft, in the southern"
end of the county, was brought here to-
day.

Each day, so the story goes, a stately
gander, with his breast full of sympathy
and his head full of responsibility, leads
an aged and totally blind ox to a nearby
pond for water. The gander, walking just
in front, quacks now and then in order
that the sightless ox may follow, and [
when the pond is reached the gander
stands guard while his protege drii^ his
fill. When the ox has finished drinking ■
the gander leads him back to the field. '

The Market

There is no great activity apparent in
the cut flower market outside of a slight
spurt for St. Valentine's Day. The sup-
ply of all the staples is liberal. Roses
are in good supply, showing a price range
of from 5c. to 25c.; it's mightly hard to
get over 25c. for anything outside of
American Beauty, on which the supply
is rather limited. Carnations continue to
arrive in quantity; prices are from 3c. to
8c. Laddie is holding up at 12c. There is
a regular influx of Daffodils; more than
the market can assimilate.

Sweet Peas are plentiful and are taking
well. Freesia is showing more freely and
prices have declined. There is a consid-
erable increase in Tulips and they are not
selling to any great extent. Callas have
declined with increased arrivals. Easter
Lilies are rather slow with a reduced
supply. Snapdragon is increasing and
selling up close. Cattleyas are moving
evenly with a falling supply and demand.
There are few Gardenias and a good sup-
ply of Lilac. Violets are dull and did
not show any activity for St. Valentine's
Day.

Monmouth Co. (N. J.) Hort. Soc

The regular monthly meeting of the
Monmouth County Horticultural Society,
was held in Red Men's Hall, Rumson,
N. J., Feb. 10, with President Hicks in
the chair. There was an excellent at-
tendance. Three new members were add-
ed to our membership. Splendid Sweet
Peas were on exhibition from Geo. Mas-
son, Oakhurst, N. J. One variety par-
ticularly fine was Daybreak, an Austral-
ian Concord variety. Other exhibits
were composed of Narcissi, Pansies and
various other flowers. During 1920, each
exhibit was scored and totaled at the
end of the season, when three prizes were
given to those gaining the highest num-
ber of points; the successful members for
1920 were James Kennedy, Percy Hicks
and W. H. Waite. This method proved
successful in keeping up the interest in
monthly exhibits with the result that the
same method will be carried out this
year.

After the business meeting was dis-
pensed with, W. H. Waite gave us a rare
treat with the lantern slides, showing 200
pictures, the work of many years' collect-
ing. The majority of these pictures were
color plates, bringing out the true colors
of each individual subject. Darwin and
Breeder Tulips, and a grand collection
of Lilies were the predominating features,
although there were many other interest-
ing subjects shown. Needless to say, it
proved a very pleasant entertainment to
all the members present, aside from its
educational value.

Carnation Slips

Will you kindly state in your next
issue what is the latest time to put slips
of Carnations in the sand? — P. J. V.,Pa.

— If you want good stock for early
blooming next Winter, you can't afford
to lose any time. Tou may, however,
root cuttings almost at any time. We
have even rooted them in a shaded bed
outdoors in July and August. This is a
common policy in England, where the
plants survive the Winter in the open
ground and make splendid bedding sub-
jects the following season.

Trade Notes.

Feb. 10. — The demand for flowers in
February so far has been heavy and, from
the looks of things, will probably con-
tinue so for some time. Should we equal
last years record, which, is the largest
February record for this locality, we shall
not have anything to complain about. The
heavj- demand has shortened up the supply
considerably and, unless the weather
changes, flowers will be less plentiful than
they were in January; this is the reverse
of last year. This applies to cut flowers
only, as potted stock is ample. Roses are
very short in supply, and there is no re-
lief in sight. Carnations also show the
effects of the long dark spell and will be
decidedly off crop before many moons;
in fact, some will be finished inso-
far as a Spring crop is concerned. The
longer days are appreciated by the Sweet
Pea crop and they are in better supply.
Oregon Violets are also making there ap-
pearance in visible quantities. For the
present, the supply of Easter Lilies is off.
Easter comes early, and as many growers
are using their formosmn for Easter
blooming, there will probably be few
available before them. Most growers are
now finished with their Paperwhites.
Freesias are still plentiful, but the de-
mand is good.

News Notes

The Martin & Forbes Co., is cut-
ting some very fine Spencer Sweet Peas.
This firm is contemplating erecting some
new glass to give them a larger supply
of stock. The new houses will be planted
to Hoses and some of the older ones in
Hoses at present, will be turned over to
Carnations.

A recent visitor to the city was John
Foley, the greenhouse builder. He made
rather a flying trip out of it, but he is
one of those men that make the most out
of the time they have. He was guest of
honor at the growers' dinner at the Hazel-
wood, to which he set up the crowd on
account of his birthday. He is on his
way South with his family.

C. A. Johnson is also visiting the city
on his way South. He is the proprietor
of the Boise Floral Co., of Boise, Idaho.

Another retail shop is scheduled to be
opened in the near future. Fred Young
will open up in part of the store now
occupied by the Swetlands Candy Shop.
Mr. Dimlap, at present with the Holly-
w-ood Shop in Seattle, will manage the
place.

Herbert & Fleishauer report that their
entire Aster seted crop was a failure, al-
though the seed looked nice and plump
when harvested and a great many whole-
sale orders had been filled- Every seed
has been recalled, as the test showed too
poor a germination quality for this firm
to stand behind, and the firm is returning
money at the rate of S30 a day as the
mail orders arrive. Although, this will .
mean a serious financial loss to them, they
feel that this is the right way to handle
the situation. The rainy season started
in September this year, and it is probable
that the early rains spoiled the seed w^th-
ont the visible signs thereof showing it-
self on the seeds.

Club Meeting High Jinks

The retailers night at the regular
meeting of the Oregon Florists Club was
a howling success. More than 300 mem-
bers, families and friends were present.
The crowd was alive from top to oottom,
and every one had a good time. A five
piece orchestra furnished the music. The
affair was advertised to the members as a
wedding and a dance. Who the bridal
couple were was kept secret, and it can be
said that curiosity sure did arouse inter-
est and brought the crowd. The wedding
was a mock affair. Maggie and Jiggs,
Andy Gump and Minn, as every one
knows, don't get along very well in their
wedded life, so they had an exchange of
wives. Chester Bim Gump was ring
bearer. The boy called. The Oregon
Florists Club was there, and Jeff was
there to adopt Chester, as neither of the
new grooms and brides wanted any kids
snooping around. James Forbes stepped
right out of the funny papers as Jiggs,
Sealy Pomeroy of Clarkes, was Mrs. Jiggs,
and although his waist line was some-
what extended, he made a good Maggie.
H. Niklas was Andy Gump and Wallace
Garside was Mrs. Gump the vamp. Little
Chester's part was admirably taken by
Wendell of Clarke's, and the Oregon
Florists Club was taken by Julius Dossche.

We Will Help You Make Money This Year

Suppose you have a piece of
ground 200 ft. square, which is al-
most a square acre. On it you can
erect 4 rows of posts, 50 ft. apart.
Now buy one of the Skinner System
sectional portable irrigation lines. It
will come to you cut in 18-ft. lengths.
Between each pipe section are our
patented quick-acting couplings. You
can put up a 200-ft. line all by your-
self in an hour's time.

A 200-ft. line waters a strip 50x200
feet. After watering the first strip,
get one of the boys to help you take
the line apart at every joint, carry it
to the next row of posts, couple it
together and ttirn on the • water.
The only tool you need is a monkey
wrench.

\\\e dkinnor
225 Water Street

That's how to make a single line
water an acre of ground.

Get your crops insured against
dry weather, by putting in at least
one line this Spring.

Fill out the coupon, mail it to us,
and we will tell you exactly how to
water yoiur ground at the lowest cost.

We suggest one Une as a starter,
because we believe that most grow-
ers will want to make their money go
the limit this year, a policy T\ath
which we thoroughly agree. At the
same time, no grower can afford to
take a chance, on losing the result
of his season's work because of dry
weather.

Hail brother scribe, in far off West,
On this, your Golden Wedding day;

Heaven's joy be thine and all that's best.
While we respectful homage pay.

This noted day, not stopping place
Just a halt at milestone by the way,

A resting spot, a breathing space,
A backward look at other day.

May marriage rite, again performed.
With friends and everything at tune.

Anew, start on a honeymoon.

To set of sun by Western sea.

DAHLIA SEED
This seed is raised from the most up-to-date
Dahlias in existence. In no place in the world
have Dahlias been brought up to such perfection
as they have been around San Francisco. This
mixture contains all colors and types of Peony,
Cactus and Decorative varieties. The seed we
sent out in previous years was highly praised by
all who raised Dahlias from it, but this seed is far
superior to what we have sent out in previous years
The seedlings will commence to flower two months
after sowing and almost a month earlier than plants
raised from bulbs.

The following somewhat smaller than the
Ruffled Monsters; Pearl of Kentfield, flesh pink

Mr. W. L. Ferguson, Smiths Falls. Ontario, un-
der date of Dec. 2d, 1919. writes us the following
in regard to our Petunias:

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you.
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about 8 per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quality each year."

Mr. Rudolf Nagel, Lancaster. Pa., under date
of Dec. 14. 1919, writes us:

"I had last year just a few of your Petunias,
but I am sure I could have sold thousands of them.
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of my expectation."

VEGETABLE PLANTS AND SEEDS

THE DIENER TOMATO
Increase your Tomato jield one hundred per cent
by raising the new Diener Tomato; 30-40 tons of
ripe fruit to the acre.

This Tomato was raised last year all over the
United States and Canada with the greatest satis-
faction.

As smooth as an Apple and of a magnificent
dark red color. Single Tomatoes weigh up to 3 lbs.
each. The flesh is more solid than that of any other
Tomato. The fruit contains very little seed and is
solidly filled out. This Tomato is free of the acid
taste and for dehydrating, catsup and canning it
is the best Tomato in existence to-day.

The Diener Tomato is blight-resisting as well as
drought-resisting. It will not crack from the rain
and will not rot while lying on the ground in wet
weather. This Tomato will grow in almost any
kind of soil and it commences to ripen the first part
of August.

It is the greatest novelty in the Tomato line, and
it will soon crowd out the present varieties from the
market by its far superior qualities.

Price of the Diener Tomato Seed: Sample pkg.
2.'ic.: one quarter of an acre, pkg. 50c.. one acre,
pkg. SI. 50.

The Market

Feb. 12. — Ideal weather conditions
made shopping an easy and pleasant task
and with St. Valentine's Day still to be
heard fronij the outlook was up to local
expectations. Sunday intervening, there
is a tendency to divide up the business,
but the final results \vould be practically
the same in volume. Nearly normal con-
ditions are now existing; as to price of
stock in general, the trade had little to
complain about in this direction. A won
derful assortment of greenhouse-grown
garden flowers can now be had and such
items as Marguerites, Mrs. Sanders, For-
get-me-nots, Pansies, Baby Primrose and
Wall flowers make attractive windows for
the retailers.

The more expensive offerings, such as
orchids. Valley and ffiveet Violets, held
their own as corsage material and Sweet
Peas of every conceivable shade and
quality were good sellers; the supply being
about equal to the enormous demand for
this favorite flower. Callas are more plen-
tiful and about equal to the demand at
$20 per 100. Roses of all varieties and

grades are about equal to demand,
the exception of short stock. The
trade is in need of something novel i i
way of Valentine's Day accessories i l
ranging flowers; the paper doll h( .
and containers are popular and attra .
but do not fill the need of somethi ,
better quality.

The buying public seems to be a
more conservative but still willing
able to produce the necessary amou
purchase the article selected. Floris
not feel the slump so much as the my
of shoe and furnishing stores, whic)
loaded to the roof with war-time-
goods. It's a good thing in this ins
that flowers are not afflicted or bl
with longevity.

Speaking of Robberies
Here's A Hold-Up Argument

Speaking of robberies, let's first speak of
car gears. Cars have gears to give a range of
speeds and power. You can have your highest
speed with your highest gear, but you also
have the lowest power. Low gear gives the
GREATEST power but the least speed. You
simply can't have both the greatest speed
and greatest power at one and the same time.

With greenhouse construction it's exactly
the same way. You can have some things, if
you have others. Or you can have others, if
you have some.

For example, take columns. If you take
out columns, you must put in trusses that will
do what the columns did. You can't rob Peter
to pay Paul. It takes just so much support-
ing to support any roof. Reduce the size of
those hold-up supports and some fine morn-
ing you will look out the window and find

your house lying down for a nice long nap.
Putting columns in a house is so simple in its
principle that you can't go very far wrong.

But when it comes to trussing a house you
get into stresses and strains. Which in turn
gets you into engineering complications, with
figures, and figures, and more figures. Our
engineers first figured out the weights and
strains, etc., which determined the size and
design of the various members of our trusses.
We proved up the figures by building the
trusses in the factory and testing them.
Every truss we put in a house has a surplus
of strength for emergencies, such as a heavy
snow, or a twister of a wind.

That's why you never heard of one of our
big houses going down. If these hold-up-
facts interest you, and you want more, we
have a lot more to give you.

The Cedars of Lebanon, as you may know, grow
on the sides of^a Syrian mountain range by thai
name. In Bible days, they were thickly wooded.
From here, Egypt got her wood alike for building
and to make the caskets in which to lay their em-
balmed kings — the mummies of today.

Under The Protection

of a Cedar of Lebanon,

Wilmington Cemetery

Builds Two Houses

HERE is the finest Cedar of Lebanon north of the Mason-
Dixon line. In fact, it's acknowledged to be the finest
in the country, excepting only that majestic patriarch at
Flushing, Long Island, with its age running into centuries.

The houses replace in part some old ones. They are the re-
sult of the untiring energy and foresight of Mr. Sellers, manager
of the cemetery.

The houses being our standard iron frame, are the finest we
make, and constructed in every detail to give the longest possible
life. They are a decided departure from the former wooden
houses, and far in advance of those customarily built by ceme-
teries in general.

When that old tree is a hundred years older, those houses,
if kept painted, will still be growing flowers under its friendly
protection.

Mr. Sellers, the day we took the photographs, mentioned his
great satisfaction; first in the way our representative worked with
him in the development of his ideas. And second in the high class
of industrious workmen that came to do the job. He mentioned
both facts more than once, and finally said: "When you show
these houses in the florist papers, be sure to say what I have told
you, so other cemeteries can read it and get wise."

To which let us add, that we tried all kinds of games to get
Mr. Seller's own picture to show you, but he sure was gun-shy.

Let us remind you that we go anywhere for business. Or to

talk business.

AGERATUM-Fraserii

We feel confidpnt in offering AGERAJUM Fraserii to our cuatomerathat we are offering
what will be one of the mo3t .valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years — that
is a blue, a decided blue, that will be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
Fraserii attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10 in,
'high and was covered the entire Summer with what cap easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2^/0 iii- across, while the indi^ndual flower would be seven-
eighths of an inch in diameter. The plant spread about 12 to 15 in. across. It can very easily be
used with Alternantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an. excellent pot plant.

JEAN KERR

Afrow of JEAN KERR, in Burpee's Trial Ground on Fordhook Farms.
First Dahlia to bloom, flowering until killed by frost.

Burpee's Sensational Decorative Dahlia

The most valuable of all white Decorative Dahlias.
Let the weather be as it may, and no other Dahlia bloom-
ing, JEAN KERR will be a mass of flowers. It is one
of the first to flower and. blooms continuously until
killed by frost.

In type it is a short-petaled Decorative and by
some classed as a Show or Ball Dahlia. It is an out-
standing variety because it never fails to bloom freely.
The pure white blooms are carried gracefully on long and
strong stems. The illustration, reproduced from a
Fordhook photograph, shows the compact growth and
free flowering habit. JEAN KERR is a foremost va-
riety for cut flowers, and equally as important for gar-
den use. JEAN KERR was awarded a Certificate of
Merit by the American Dahlia Society when first ex-
hibited in September, 1916. After it was tested in the
trial grounds of the American Dahlia Society it received
a second Certificate of Merit on September 24, 1 920.

Foreign Bulb Troubles and their Prevention by Culture

The following article, stimulated by the general agitation re. the Holland bulb situation, and by
certain actioni* and statements of Western bulb forcers, is a notable contribution to_ our knowledge
on the important subject of how to get the best results from imported material. It is not a defence
of Dutch exporters; indeed the writer, though a Hollander by birth mow an American *'by adoption' )
does not deny or hesitate to condemn the business methods of some of the dealers in his former father-
land. It is rather an explanation, based on expert knowledge, long experience and careful investiga-
tion of the several possible causes of serious, costly bulb troubles and of methods that the purchaser
of bulbs can employ to good effect in attempting to prevent or mitigate these troubles.

Obviously, weather changes, the delay of steamers by storms and various other "acts of Provi-
dence," cannot be wholly circumvented; nor is it fair to expect either party in a transaction to bear all
the losses caused by them. Normally, however, the results secured from imported bulbs depend upon
^a' how they are grown abroad, and ^b) how they are stored, handled and forced over here. Naturally
it is to the advantage of the Dutch growers to enhance their reputations by supplying the best stock
possible; they are too astute as business men to do otherwise. Similarly, it is good business for Ameri-
can forcers to practice the best methods. This article tells him some things he should know.

! Blind, Crippled and Greentipped Bulbs

riicsc conditions in bulbous stocks call for no further
(^ging, but for a frank open discussion for an exchange
oiviows and experiences so that its elimination may be
cl-ctcd or the damage reduced to a minimum. I hope
ti following article will initiate such an exchange of
i«as.

No Special Line to Blame

n the first place, it is an established fact that bulbs,
c Bcially Tulips, do sometimes arrive at their destinations
i i condition called "blind." That is, upon cutting the
b bs open we find that the embryo flower has turned
Swn or black. Whether this damage occurs in the hold
d the steamer or on the docks at the seaboard or in
ttisit in this country, has not been definitely established.
I^r some years certain Holland-America Line steamers
are avoided by Dutch shippers because of their belief
tit these steainers were not properly ventilated and
tireby caused the damage: the Holland- America Line
e:n paid claims for damages based on this theory. But
see other lines have begun to carry Dutch bulbs, the
samers of such lines have not proven to be any better
c safer carriers than the suspected ones. Moreover, the
hlland- America Line and other lines, upon request and
iient appeals from the Associated Dutch Bulb Growers,
iitalled ^•entilating systems for bulb cargoes last year,
cd the trouble seems to be worse than ever. This de-
ste the fact that the various cargo carriers were no more
l^vily loaded with bulbs than in previous years, the
rpply for the L'. S. A. having been divided the past
jar among' at least double the number of steamers em-
pyed in other years. As Dutch bulbs in some years travel
Uter than others while the steamers remain the same
;ir after year, and as the question of ventilation appears
1 play no part or very little part in the drama, I am
irced to assume that other conditions are the chief agents
( destruction.

Conditions Aboard Ship

It was my good fortune to travel on one of these
lib steamers, arriving at New York on Sept. IS, 1920. I
I'ticed that the weather was cool when we left Hol-
l;d, that it was cold on the ocean, and that the temperature
: the holds of the steamer during the trip was not high.
!Pon reaching a point within a day or so from the Amer-
jm Coast we steamed into the most beautiful sunshine
■ id halmy air, landing on the evening of a real hot
I'y. The bulb cases were unloaded the ne.xt day dur-
g quite warm weather which continued for many days.

ithin two weeks after my arrival a customer showed
e some Tulips which were blind, and which had come

on the very steamer that brought my family and my-
|lf back to the United States. These Tulips were truly
|ind, the flowers having turned brown and black. This
las a clear case of heating in transit and I was greatly
hzzled. This steamer did not arrive in the early season.

had noticed no unfavorable circumstances ; in fact, I
lought it was an ideal trip for the bulb cargo under
y feet. Yet, here was this undoubted evidence of
image.

Explaining Blindness

' '^lEWS the problem over in my mind for many days
constructed the theory that the temperature in the bulb
ises upon unloading from the steamer probably ranges
itween 60 to 70 deg. ; that during the time the goods lay
1 the docks or traveled in closed railway cars in hot
eather it might have easily risen to 85 to 90 deg., per-
aps higher, and stayed there more or less or there-
3outs, for several days. The result of this condition
ould be :

I. All bulbs — Hyacinths, Tulips and Narcissus alike —
;come retarded.

Il-^In extreme cases the flowers of the weak varieties
ke "La Reine," its relatives, William Copeland, and
thers, will give up the ghost and turn brown. This
ist process seems to take place in a very short time and
- not progressive after the unfavorable condition is re-
ioved. I have helped mtpzck a case immediately upon
irrival in which blind Tulips were found and the per-

centage so affected was ascertained. Upon re-
examination three days later by Lloyds' agents no in-
crease in the percentage of blind bulbs could be detected.
Later on, when this stock flowered in the greenhouse,
I noticed that the percentage of blind plants was the
same as claimed upon arrival, the rest bloomed very nicely
and showed no effect of the heating so far as I could
ascertain. The florist, however, had been quite careful
with the stock, saving what he could, which indicated
that a stock may contain blind bulbs which do not flower,
while all the others bloom perfectly. However, no
amount of care will bring back to life flowers which
have turned brown. This damage is irreparable.

Temperature and Bulb Growth

Fortunately the quantity of Tulips in which the flow-
ers are destroyed due to heating in transit except in the
case of a very few specific varieties is almost negligible
compared with the far greater damage caused by the
flowers coming greentipped and crippled. Besides, losses
due to "blindness" can be greatly restricted by careful
examination (by cutting open a few bulbs) upon receipt
and notifying the proper agent at once.

I have said that all bulbs exposed to a high tempera-
ture for several days (after time of shipment) become
retarded. This is not a theory, it is an absolute fact.
And another fact is that before bulbs will force well
and develop perfect flowers they must first overcome
this retarding influence. K they do not overcome it be-
fore they are brought into the greenhouse, they will show
their unreadiness by having "no go in them," the buds
remaining stationary and finally withering while the
leaves draw up. This frequently happens to Narcissi ;
they also show weak stems, and crippled, greentipped
flowers, of poor keeping quality. Occasionally a lot of
Tulips will just stand still 2in. above the flats, harden
and become totally worthless. All these symptoms, ex-
cept where downright negligence or abuse enters into the
case, are indications and results of the stocks not yet
being in condition to be forced when they are brought
into the houses.

How to Keep Bulbs at Their Best

I can prove this quite conclusively by pointing out
that the ideal place for bulbs to overcome their tempo-
rary disadvantage is in the open ground if planted in good
time. What do we see there? Never a greentipped
Tulip, seldom if ever a crippled one and
very rarely a Narcissus or Hyacinth that fails to bloom.
I have grown Tulips and Narcissi by the 10,000 on my
place on Staten Island without seeing a bad flower, dur-
ing the same years in which the florists reported more
or less loss due to greentipped or crippled flowers. If
the plants develop properly outdoors and poorly indoors,
it must be accepted that the cause of the trouble lies in
the treatment of the greenhouse stocks before or after
they get into the greenhouses. It is hardly possible that
the fault lies with the usual treatment applied after the
flats and pans are brought in, except in Isolated cases
where blunders are committed, for most florists treat
their bulbs the same year after year (at least they
often tell me so) getting good results one or two, perhaps
three years, and failing the next year. The cause, there-
fore, must lie between time of arrival at the nursery and
the time of bringing the bulbs into the houses.

I have noticed that bulbs planted in September outdoors
and which I transplanted for some reason or other In
October had made comparatively little root growth, while
those planted late in October and lifted some time after-
ward were firmly rooted in the soil. This condition is
not so much due to the fact that time for rooting is
further advanced as to the greater availability of
moisture and a iiiuch lozver temperature late in the Fall.
Low soil temperature, together with moisture,
stimulates root growth. A high temperature causes
t^reater dormancy when the bulbs are dry and above
ground ; It stimulates top growth when the bulbs are In
the soil and at the same time It retards or stops root
growth.

Deep Trenches for Storing

To be able to stand early forcing, bulbs must have a

strong root system and in case a retarding influence has
afi'ected the bulbs before planting time, that root system
must have time to restore the plant's balance. Where
is the best place to give the bulbs a chance to perform
this function? In deep trenches in the soil, not in the
liulb shed, cellar, shallow trenches or on top of the
■jround covered with dirt and straw. For deep tranches,
IK'ft. to 2ft. deep, dug in a cool shady place with good
drainage and an occasional soaking applied when the
weather is dry for a long spell. There is the place
where we can provide a reasonably low temperature to
stimulate early, strong root growth and where the bulbs
find conditions as nearly right as possible for further de-
velopment. It is remarkable how little trouble those
bulb forcers have who dig their flats and pans in
early and deeply. Even this year, when so many florists
are having trouble with bulbs, there can be found many
who are having no trouble at all and they are usually
florists who stick to the old fashioned method of putting
the bulbs in deep trenches as is done almost e.xclusively in
old England, Holland, Germany and Sweden.

No other method of preparing stocks for early forc-
ing should ever be used ; for later forcing a little liberty
might perhaps be taken without bad results because the
plants have then had more time to overcome the re-
tarding influence. This explains why "greentipped"
and "crippled" chiefly appear during the early forcing
period.

Perhaps most florists do not know that this condition
can be produced artificially. Just plant some early forcing
Tulips, which have been kept unplanted in a warm
place until December, allow them to root for a few weeks
and bring them In the greenhouse for forcing!

Freezing as Bad as Overheating

"Greentipped" probably also is brought about by uii-
tlmely freezing of the flats while in the ground. This
suspends the plant's activity almost entirely before they
are ready to develop perfect topgrowth. "Trenches must
be covered with straw or litter to prevent early, severe
frosts from penetrating too deeply.

Fairly conclusive evidence that blindness, greentipped
and crippled flowers are caused or very much aggra-
vated by conditions peculiar to the United States, Is
furnished by the fact that the Dutch bulbs forced very
easily in Europe this year without loss, while we have
considerable trouble here.

Dutch Bulb Men and Their Methods

I know that attempts are made to saddle the Dutch
houses with all or part of the responsibility for losses
Incurred by some growers. That is an absolute injustice,
because unless the supplier has agreed to assume the
risk of travel, that risk Is the buyer's. I know that one
of the theories advanced is that the bulbs were unripe,
that is, dug too early when they were shipped. That
Is ridiculous because bulbs increase fastest in size during
the last few weeks of the plants' life above ground and
no Dutch grower would' dare to take up his stock be-
fore the proper time because he would not have a sale;
able crop. Moreover, the bulbs would show It at first
glance. I know that irresponsible Hollanders see no evil
In telling a man that the stock which he bought from a
competitor and which shows up poorly, was unfit to send
out or defective in one way or another. Such Dutch-
men are liars by intention, because generally they know
better and probably were defending their own goods the
day before at some one else's place. Some Hollanders
claim that they shipped their goods late and have had
no trouble. That is possible but, not altogether true In
all cases, for I know many cases where goods came in
early and turned out fine, and several other cases where
goods arrived Sept. 15, but which proved to contain
heated bulbs. Few bulb shipments came in after Sept.
15 last year, anyway.

Early vs. Late Arrivals

That late shipments arriving at New York the end of
September or the beginning of October run less risk of
heating than earlier ones seems plausible enough, but
if large growers want to get their bulbs In the ground on
time, they cannot afford to have the shipments arrive
so late at New York. At any rate not those whose goods
must travel to far, inland points.

Personally, I do not consider early shipments aiiy
greater risk than late shipment. However, opinions on
that point, as on many others, vary.

I trust I have made myself clear. If not I atll willing
and an.xious to examine and answer all questions or
counter arguments as well as I can.

Florida versus California

Disinterested Observer Gives His Tlieorles of
California's Horticultural Supremacy

fdilor The Florists' Exchange :

As an entirely disinterested person fairly familiar with
jth Florida and California, permit me to make par-
al answer to the questions you propound in your
iJitorial of Feb. 19, 1921.

i What Size and Location Do for California

I Safe commercial Orange culture, so Federal bulletins
ly, begins at the latitude of New Smyrna, Fla., and ex-
^nds to below Miami, or from below 26 deg. to 29
;g. North latitude. All Europe is above 35 deg. North

titude. whereas Florida is farther south than Shanghai,
nd Miami as nearly as far south as Calcutta. Thus
lorida lies opposite the Persian Gulf and Arabia, even
[ew Smyrna being farther south than Cairo. Now
lie plants and flowers demanded in the large markets of
iie world do not grow naturally in the latitude of
lorida, and it requires great labor to make them grow
!iere. Some exotics, palms, etc., grow well and are a
immercial possibility in Florida, but the majority of
•m popular plants and flowers are growii with great dif-
iculty so far south. The sun is inexorable there and
to amount of exploitation will rub out that fact.

Southern California lies between 32!^ and 35 deg.
Jorth latitude or, compared with the Atlantic Coast,
ies opposite Charleston and Spartanburg, South Carolina,
i'hus Southern California is opposite the northern part
■f Palestine and farther north than Shanghai ; yet there
re commercial florists' plants that Southern California
oes not, and probably never will, produce economically,
ilot so California farther north, for the State extends
j) 42 deg. North latitude, about that of Northern
i'ennsylvania.
[ So, then, it is not fair to expect of Florida that she

produce the range of plants that California can grow,
for the latter State extends as far as from Charleston,
S. C, to Boston, Mass.

Tlie Questions of Humidity and Climate

A humid climate is a boon inside a warm greenhouse
producing a certain type of plants, but it is far from
a boon to other plants in a cool house. And humidity
is not a boon in the case of a great range of outside
plants. One can find a great variation as- to hu-
midity and aridity in so large a State as California,
whereas all Florida is relatively humid., California
grows figs that keep and ship well, while figs in Florida
are apt to sour on the trees. A rainless Summer, and
the practice of irrigation, makes possible in California
several industries that are impossible in Florida. An
arid climate can, to quite a degree, be corrected by
irrigation and culture, but constant humidity cannot
be fought successfully; it limits one to the culture of
crops adapted to humid conditions — inexorably limits
one.

As a matter of fact, Florida produces little grain,
very poor hay, and deciduous fruits are raised with
great difficulty. Few Northern people, who have ex-
perienced a Florida Summer do not know that the things
that grow well in Florida at that season are very limited.
Except where irrigation is practiced, even California is
not nearly so productive in Summer as in Winter. Left
to Nature neither State will grow many flowers during
the hot months.

.-\s to boosting, one hears everywhere in Florida, "We
have California beat a hundred ways; "in California one
rarely hears Florida mentioned. Nevertheless, one sees
in Florida grocery stores, dried and canned fruits, nuts,
raisins, etc.. from California, while California sells only
a few Florida Tomatoes in the Winter. Both States
do too much boosting, especially of their poor counties,
for in both States there are very poor and poverty-
stricken sections in which worthless land is exploited for
sale to suckers.

Laziness and Land Values

Laziness is a relative matter. Los Angeles people
spend more time loafing than do San Francisco people,
but Florida people, living farther South, are less enter-
prising than are the residents of Los Angeles.

The land in Florida averages poor compared with that
of California; but poor land can be corrected i/— and
this is a big if — general farming and stock raising are
practiced. California tells mostly of its specialty crops,
but as a matter of fact general farming is the main
agricultural industry there and hogs and cattle are raised
nearly as freely as in the East, though somewhat handi-
capped by the fact that California is a poor Corn
country. Florida ought to go in more for general farm-
ing and stock raising, and the land on the average will
run poor until she does so.

California, especially its coast section, offers a far
better all-the-year residence section than does Florida,
and therefore attracts more Eastern people and capital.

In conclusion, I want to say that both States are good,
one man preferring Florida and the other California;
but so far as horticultural activity is concerned one needs
but to study the geographical and elevation ranges of
the two States to see that it is impossible for Florida
to grow profitably the range of ornamentals, florists'
stock, nursery material, etc., that California can pro-
duce.

I have visited many establishments in these States,
and creditable work is being done in both; but if one
wants to make money — as most men do — California offers,
on the whole, the greater opportunities. On the other
hand, the inexperienced man or the one who insists on
following Eastern procedures and methods, can drop a
small fortune in California in short order. Horticul-
ture is a highly developed business in California, requir-
ing special methods to succeed, and the settled and con-
servative Eastern florist had better stay where he knows
the game. Thos. S. Blair.

Society of American Florists and Ornamental
Horticulturists

Meeting of the Execntive Board, New Willard

Hotel, Washington, D. C, Jan. 24 and 25,

1921

President Roland called the annual meeting of the
Executive Board of the Society to order at 9.30 a.m.
n Jan. 24, and appointed A. L. Miller, who volunteered
jr tile office of sergeant-at-arms.

Roll call showed the following directors to be present :
'resident Thomas Roland, Vice-President Adolph Gude,
ecretary John Young, Treasurer J. J. Hess, Joseph H.
iill, C. C. PoUworth, Herman P. Knoble, Paul R.

lingsporn. Thomas H. Joy, Carl Hagenburger, Ex-
■'resident A. L. Miller, W. F. Gude, George Asmus,

atim'ann. I. S. Hendrickson, Joseph Kohout, W. A.
;owe, A. Rasmussen, Robert L. Graham, Jr., W. H. En-
lehart and A. M. Campbell.

After the credentials of the new members of the
ioard had been passed upon, the minutes of the last meet-
ng, as published, were, on motion, formally approved.

Secretary's Report

The secretary presented his financial report for the
■ear ending Dec. 31, 1920, showing as summarized
n the auditors' report attached, receipts from all sources
lor the year to have been $22,511.85. This amount was
jhown to be about one-half the amount collected for the
j'ear 1919, but this was largely accounted for by the
'act of the reduction in receipts for life membership,
|)nly $745 being received during 1920, as against $24,550
n 1919. In the report of the auditors was a compli-
'nentary comment upon the completeness of the secre-
,ary's records. Disbursements by voucher totaled $25,-
575.46. A special statement was presented showing cost
md income connected with the publication of the society's
lournal. A separate report made by the secretary, as
superintendent of the trade exhibition at Cleveland,
.howed a balance or profit amounting to $6,354.60. The
■eports were, on motion, accepted and approved. In the
ourse of a discussion on financial matters, it was brought
)ut that a seemingly large increase in the expenses of
he administration headquarters in the last two years
pad been due very largely to the drive for life members.
She expenses covering which, including the engraving
md framing of certificates, and incidentals, had all to
:ome from the general fund, while life membership fees
ill went into the permanent fund intact. The new life
nembers numbered 1032, yielding over $25,000 to the
Jermanent fund, but taking from the annual list a
iarge number of members whose dues were thus lost to

he general fund. Mr. Asmus expressed the opinion

that it could now be realized that the only way to in-
crease the society's revenue would be to make a drive
for new members.

Treasurer's Report

Treasurer Hess presented his report covering receipts
and disbursements for the year 1920. with credit certifi-
cates from the different banks as to the amounts on
deposit. The report showed a balance on hand for the
general fund of $651.53, and in the permanent fund, in-
cluding investments, of $49,443.47. Mr. Hess pointed out
that there was the sum of $10,772.91 in the permaneht
fund to be invested.

It being understood that all the financial reports should
be turned over to the chairman of the Finance and
Audit Committee, Mr. Asmus moved that the Finance
and Audit Committee be given power to call a meet-
ing, with the sanction of the secretary and president at
a date to be determined upon later, and at that time to
make the annual audit, and copies of that audit to be
sent to each member of the Executive Board, and that
the audit be reported upon at the convention in August.
Mr. Campbell seconded the motion, which was carried.

Secretary Young referred to the installation of the
new bookkeeping system authorized and directed by the
Finance and Audit Committee, and to a request for the
services of a certified public accoimtant to audit the
accounts of the different funds. The work was as yet
incomplete, so there was only a partial report to make,
but he would like, he said, to have the whole matter re-
ferred to the Finance and Audit Committee. He then in-
troduced Mr. Joyce of Joyce & Mattis, New York, Cer-
tified Public Accountants who, he said, would explain
the new system to the board.

Mr. Joyce then produced the proposed new books and
other material, and proceeded to exriain the system
being installed, showing how a record could be kept of
all transactions of the society on the books at the secre-
tary's office, including a record of daily balances of the
different funds in banks.

Report of Committee on Tariff and Legislation

W. F. Gude, chairman of the Committee on Tariff
and Legislation made a verbal report for his commit-
tee, in which he stated that their work was now largely
as regard tariff matters. Tariff matters in general
had, he said, been fully considered at a meeting of the
committee in New York last December, at which it
was decided to let well enough alone, and only seek
rectification of a few ambiguities existing in the present
tariff. The result of the meeting and the letter dispatched
to the officials at Washington was published fully in
all the trade papers. Since that meeting, however, the
Gladioli growers were clamoring for the committee's help
in their effort to have the duty on Gladioli $10 per 1000,
instead of 50c. as at present. There was to be a hearing
next day, Jan. 25, before the Committee on Ways and
Means, at which the Gladiolus duty was to be discussed,
and he asked for a volunteer committee from the board
to accompany him to the hearing.

This precipitated a long drawn out discussion as to
whether or not a high tariff should be asked on Dutch
bulbs as well as Gladioli. Mr. Asmus led the discussion,
insisting that a high tariff .would stabilize the bulb busi-
ness for American growers and prevent the dumping
of surpluses from Holland^ growers into the United
States at prices vastly^ lower than the prices obtained
bv the sairte growers for their earlier shipments. This
sort of competition, he said, was ruinous to florists who
had bought their biJlbs at the high prices. Messrs.
Hagenberger, Campbell, Rasmussen, Klingsporn, Knoble,
.\mmaiin. Miller, Rowe, Kohout, Penn, Hill and Hen-
drickson took part in the discussion, some on the nega-
tive side. Finally a motion was made by Mr. Ammann
"That this board go on record as recommending to the
Committee on Tariff and Legislation that it was advisable
that a tariff not to exceed $10 per thousand be placed on
all Dutch bulbs, and include Gladiolus for importation."
. Mr. Asmus seconded the motion, and a polled vote was
called for the same, resulting in eleven votes in favor
of the motion and ten opposing, two members not vot-
ing. The motion was declared by the chair to be adopted.

The discussion being resumed, there seemed to be
a misunderstanding as to the scope of Mr. Ammann's
motion. Mr. Hendrickson pointed out that Mr. Gude
wanted the board's action as to Gladiolus bulbs alone, and
moved reconsideration of the motion, the motion being
seconded by Mr. Ammann. This motion was duly passed.
Then Mr. Ammann offered to withdraw his motion en-
tirely, his offer being also acceptable to the seconder. The
chair declaring the question again before the house,
Mr. Hendrickson moved that a duty of $10 per thousand
be asked on Gladiolus bulbs. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Hess. Some speakers expressed opiiiion that
the matter had not been given sufficient consideration.
The motion being finally put to the meeting was adopted
unanimously. The matter of the Dutch bulbs was al-
lowed to rest.

The board then adjourned for lunch, as the guests
of the Washington Chamber of Commerce.

Second Session

Monday Afternoon

Reconvening, the chair announced that the discussion of
the desirability of a tariff on Diitch bulbs would be con-
tinued. Without speaking ftirther on the subject, Mr.
Asmus moved that a committee of five be appointed
to gather data as to the feasibility of regulating the
importation of bulbs, or to ascertain if there was a
necessity for such regulation, and to report at the con-
vention next August. Mr. Knoble seconded the motion,
and it was carried. The chair remarked that he would
appoint the committee from the board later.

Washington Convention Arrangements

W. F. Gude reported on the possibilities for hous-
ing the convention. Wardman's Park Inn, he said, was a

"The President"

Chosen by an Overwhelming Majority as the

GREATEST CANNA
IN COMMERCE

"I have been much impressed with some of
the new Cannas that I have tried this Sum-
mer, and cannot refrain from mentioning two.
These are The President and Snow Queen.
President is by all odds the best red Canna
today, larger and better than Firebird and a
free bloomer; the foliage is strong and does
not burn, as does that of Firebird. Those
who have tried Firebird and lamented that it
would not do on account of diseased foliage
will rejoice to know that at last we have
a Canna that is 'right.' Snow Queen is
whiter than any other Canna on the market.
It is also one of the largest individual flow-
ers among Cannas of any color, is as free as
the freest, and the trusses are of enormous
size. It has a better habit of growth and
better foliage than either Eureka or Flag
of Truce, the best two whites heretofore.
Only in the best reds do we find anything
that approaches it in general value."

— Floyd Bralliar.
— Extract from the Florists' Hevieiv, Sep-
temher 28, 1919.

Description. — We thought so much of this
Canna we put it in color on our catalog —
Height, 4 feet. In color, a rich, glowing scar-
let, and the immense, firm, roiinded flowers, 7 inches across when
open, are produced on strong, erect stalks well above the large,
rich green foliage. "The President" is superior to any other red
variety in the quantity and also quality of bloom, and the firm
flowers resist drought and heat to a remarkable degree. A
large bed of this variety was planted last year on the grounds
of the "Washington ^Moniunent Washin,gton, D. C. Another
'Tresident" Canna bed was on the Garden Pier at Atlantic
City, while several more were to be seen in the largest public
parks in this country where these beautiful flowers received the un-
demand has been created. Get your ordee placed now for de-
qualified admiration of every Canna lover. Xaturally, a tremendous
livery at planting time. Price, 10 for $2.25, 100 for $15.00,

Notes from Abroad

February has come in with hoar-frost
and a fuliginous atmosphere, so that the
Winter appears now to be hastening to
make up for lost time, an event which
would be highly desirable from all points
of view on account of the early date on
which Easter falls this year.

All the seed houses are now working
at top pressure in order to keep abreast
of the demands for seeds, which the
hitherto mild season has notably accentu-
ated and, notwithstanding long hours and
increased staffs, find it impossible to get
consignments away with that punctuality
they would fain exercise. We trust pur-
chasers on your side will exercise a little
clemency if they have to wait for de-
liveries a little longer than they had ex-
pected to do.

The latest news from Italy is not very re-
assuring as to the present condition and
future prospects of the Onion, Leek and
Cauliflower crops, which are stated to
be looking very unpromising. This is said
to be partly due to the unsettled political
conditions and discontented state of the

Peasantry, who, for some illogical reason,
ave been neglecting the projier prepara-
tion of the land and attention thereto.
It is hard, however, to believe that they
would deliberately adopt the principle of
cutting off their nose to spite their face,
so we may hope that the news is prema-
turely pessimistic, and disseminated chiefly
for their own purposes by the holders of
large stocks of the past Summer*s harvest.
From North Africa, on the other hand,
growers report a favorable outlook at
the present time for Cauliflower and other
crops, of which a full yield is anticipated.
This will, however, depend on a good
average amount of rain falling during
the coming Spring, and this is always
an uncertain quantity in Mediterranean
regions. Transatlantic Seedsman.

It is reported that a large consign-
ment of Japanese Lilies, chiefly auratums
and speciosmns, owing to improper stor-
age, arrived in a ruined condition. Such
a loss of Lily bulbs has no parallel for
many years.

Snowstorm Checks Counter Trade

The snow which began falling early
Sunday morning of this week, and which
did not cease until it had covered the
ground to the depth of a foot and a half
on the level (and several feet in drifts) ,
is a severe check on counter trade which
was just getting under headway in the
seed stores of this city. Furthermore,
this storm retarded the arrival, by express
or freight, of incoming seeds and other
merchandise, and also the shipping out
of the same by like transportation. The
chief retarding factor in both cases is not
so much the poor transportation by rail
as the traffic blockade caused by the storm
in this city. The traveling salesmen from
the several seed houses are also much hin-
dered in their work through the country
districts. About the only part of the seed
trade business which is little affected by
this storm is the mdil order trade.

Burnett Bros., report the arrival of
Tuberose, Caladium and Canna bulbs from
Southern points; also that heavy orders
for lawn grass seed are coming in freely.
There is an extraordinary demand for
their novelties, consequent upon the list
of these which they have recently sent
out.

S. S. Skidelsky of S. S. Skidelsky &
Co., is now on a business trip through the
Western territory. He writes that the
outlook has improved considerably, and
the home office reports that mail orders
are coming in more freely.

Vaughan's Seed Store is experiencing a
big demand for Gladiolus bulbs. This
store says that its Michigan grown bulbs
have quite got the fancy of Eastern grow-
ers in the last few years. The vegetable
and flower seed departments of this store
are now feeling tiae pressure of a large
volume of mad orders since both the
wholesale and retail catalogs have been
sent out.

Most of the seed stores of this city on
Washington's birthday closed at noon.

Weeber t& Don are now mailing out
their 1921 catalog and are very busy in
every department of the store.

Wm. M. Hunt & Co., report that they
find it necessary to work nights aa well as
days in order to keep up with their mail
and travelers orders.

Chicago Seed Trade

J. C. Vaughan left the past week to
join Mrs. Vaughan, who is spending the
Winter at Miami, Fla.

The retail catalog of A. Henderson &
Co., is being mailed this week. The new
non-lateral giant Aster and the new Rose,
Los Angeles is featured in colors on the
front page.

A. Miller, of the American Bulb Co., is
back from a trip to the Northwest. There
is a good demand reported for Cannas and
Gladioli as well as hardy Lilies. Guy W.
French, who has been representing the
company on the Pacific Coast is expected
in the city this week.

Jas. Spence and Robt. Sharp repre-
sented the W. W. Barnard Co., at the
Lake Forest banquet given by the North
Shore Horticultural Society last Monday
night.

There were a few days of Spring-like
weather the past week, which caused a
demand for Onion sets at several of the
seed stores. The demand for flower and
vegetable seed from the South is reported
good.

The Holland bulb salesmen are leaving
the city one by one. While they have
not booked their usual quota of orders on
account of the bulb growers' organization,
they are assured of the orders later on
as soon as the members of the association
will decide to place their orders.

C. 0. Wilcox representing the Madison
Seed Co., Manitowoc, Wis., is in the city.
He reports the contract order business
good. He says the warm weather of the
past week has brought bulb stock into
bloom in large quantities all over the
country.

Canadian Seed Notes

The Department of Customs is drawing
attention to the fact that samples are
to be taken and forwarded to the labora-
tory from all importations of seeds in lots
of ten pounds or more. The quantity of
seed from which samples are taken is to
be carefully entered in pounds or bushels.

The annual seed fair at Richmond Hill
was held on Feb. 13. The feature was an
address by A. W. Mason of the Ontario
Agricultural College, Guelph, on various
methods of seed production.

In response to requests from forestry
authorities in the United Kingdom, tree
seeds have been collected in British Co-
lumbia by officers of the Canadian Forestry
Branch and forwarded to the Forestry Com-
missioners for Great Britain to be used in
the carrying out of reforestration plans
now under way. The seeds included those
of Douglas Spruce, Sitka Spruce, Alpine
Fir and other species which the British
authorities desire to test.

Seed Pricing

Some discussion regarding the pricing
of seeds at wholesale in trade papers has
been going on in the colums of the Horti-
cultural Advertiser (British).

New Giant Non-Lateral

New Introductions of Exceptional Merit

By crossing the tall growing non-lateral American
Beauty with some of the finer types of the Crcgo
class, an Aster with the iy|)c of Crego and I'eony
flowers and with a non-lateral branching stem was
secured. Tliese Asters attain a height of some
3 feet and the long stems are surmounted by llowers
of ultra-refined Crego and Peony llowered types.
The size of the flowers is phenomenal. The fact
that these Asters are without laterals causes an
unbroken sap flow from the base to the one flower
at the terminal, thereby accounting for their im-
mense size.

CREGO TYPE

Peach Blossom Pink. .A superb .Aster with blos-
soms of the most ultra-retined Crego type, the

petals being beautifully twisted and interlaced,

borne singly on rigid, upright stems. The plants

attain a height of 2}-i to 3 feet.
Dark Rose. A tall growing variety, in color a deep

rich rose. Flowers of enormous size, wavy in

outline.
Light Blue. An exact replica of Peach Blossom as

regards form, size and character of growth, with an

exquisite tone of color.
Purple.

Price, any of above:
Trade pkt. $2.00, 14 oz. $2.50.

PEONY-FLOWERED TYPE

Peach Blossom Pink. This new Aster differs from the
Crego type in the fact that the petals instead of being
curled and wavy-like are regular in their outline.

Seed Pricing (C^*'^**"*"^'^ from page 469)

E. Horton, the well known manager of
Bees, Ltd., Liverpool, succinctly sums up
the situation thusly:

It is intensely amusing to read the re-
marks of the various "Seed Growers."
They would have us believe that if prices
were kept out of ads. all would be well,
since their iniquities would not then be
open to the public gaze. In other words
they give no evidence of real concern at
the principles (or lack of them) in com-
mon practice, but are dreadfully worried
if they see the light of print.

One correspondent refers to "the com-
paratively few persons who may find
themselves overstocked." I think that
seedsmen who keep an eye on the "Special
Offers," which come in by almost every
post, will know better than he how "few"
or otherwise are these overstocks.

The problem is again one of price reg-
ulation on a fair basis. So long as
"growers" and wholesale contractors con-
tinue to shout their contradictory cry
"Great Shortage" at the beginning of the
season, to justify ridiculously high prices,
so long will there continue to appear later
in the season, when everyone has bought,
"Special Offers" of surplus stocks at ridic-
ulousy low prices.

The remedy, as I suggested in London
in December, 1919, is the establishment,
not only here, but in the United States
and other seed producing countries, of
Seed Clearing Houses, and the sooner the
trade seta about their establishment, the
sooner will price cutting cease.

^ng Seed G). Asks for Receiver

Another echo of the troublous times
through which the seed trade has been
and is passing, is the news that D. J.
Burnham of Mechanicsburg, O., has been
appointed receiver for the Wing Seed Co.,
of that place. This has been done at the
request of Charles B. Wing, president and
general manager of the firm, who states
that while the company is a going concern,
and not bankrupt, it is handicapped by
inability to raise at short notice sufficient
funds to cover certain indebtedness. If,
under the management of a receiver, the
present storm can be weathered, and the
time for the settlement of accounts be ex-
tended, he is confident that the situation
with his company will be relieved.

Pushing Garden Tools in
the Spring

By ERNEST A. DENCH

{Continued from page 348 — Issue of Fel).
12, 1921)

The Flower Garden

Abraham and Strauss, Brooklyn, N. X.,
covered their latticework at the rear cen-
ter with rambling pink Roses. Reaching
to the ceiling at each side were Morning
Glory Vines trailed around cream colored
pillars of imitation stone. Directly in
front of the pillars at each side and cen-
ter was a garden bench, occupied by
different small garden tools and several
kinds of flowering plants in pots. A di-
minutive flower bed planted with real
Pansies and Geraniums was laid on the
floor, in the middle. At each side of the
flower bed was a coil of garden hose and
other equipment. Down in front, at each
side, appeared a large cream colored Jar-
diniere, filled with purple and blue Irises.
In the center near the glass the fol-
lowing sign was laid :

"When you work in the garden some tools
you may need."

The border around the floor was of
artificial grass, while mouse brown plush
covered the remainder of the floor.

KoTcl Use of Bird Houses

Gimbel's, New York City, found a
unique location in which to display
packets of garden seeds. This was on a
ledge of a bird house at the right rear.
Birds were peeking out at the various
entrances to the house, which rested on
a tall rustic pole. The remainder of
the rear was taken up by green lattice-
work, covered with trailing Wistaria
vines. Leaning against the latticework
were such tools as a rake, spade and
hand plow. The rear half of the floor
was covered with artificial grass while
such garden implements as hoe, garden
hose and fork were scattered on the
grass. The other half of the floor was
laid with a grey carpet, occupied by
packets of garden se&ds with papiere
mache vegetables to correspond. A card
door in front announced:

"Everything for the Spring Planting."
It*s the Taste tliat Connt'

Bannister and Pollard, Newark, N. J.,
displayed garden plows and hand cultiva-
tors over the green grained paper cov-

ered floor. On a framed card hung at
the back appeared the following an-
nouncement :

"Do you know the delicious taste of fresh
picked vegetables, the profit of a garden?"

No FroMbition for the Iiawn

Ludlow and Squier, Newark, N. _ J.,
rested a large beaver board sign against
a green covered pillar at the rear cen-
ter. The sign was bordered in red with
script in pale blue against a white back- i
ground. On it was inscribed :

"There must be no ISth Amendment for
your lawn.

The U. S. A. may be dry, but your grass miist
be wet, occasionally, to produce a lawn you
like to see.

When J. Plavius fails to act, it's up to you
to do the sprinkling. We can help you. 0»ir
line of garden hose, hose reels, nozzles, lawn
Bprinklers and watering cans is now complete.
The prices are right and the quality the best,
as becomes all merchandise found in the

"Home op Good Haedwabe."
The garden appliances mentioned on
the sign were neatly displayed on the
green paper shavings strewn floor.

An Effective Tool Setting

Another display arranged by Ludlow and
Squier contained a genuine white painted
garden fence around the sides and rear.
Hoes and rakes were leaned against the
fence here and there. On the floor^ was
the representation of a garden, achieved
with a covering of grass green paper
shavings, studded with small white Dais-
ies. The lawn was occupied by a lawn
mower, garden hose and other appro-
priate equipment,

A Hint of Spring

Hull's Danbury, Conn., freely sprinkled
the window floor with a powdery materia,!
that looked like grass. At the right rear
corner was a branch of a real tree stand-
ing in an upright position and with
Spring foliage on its branches. Extend-
ing under a branch of the tree was a
lawn mower, with other garden tools
scattered around the window.

The Feaoefnl VaUey

Wright, Carrolton, Ohio, had a setting
that represented a peaceful valley. Down
in the slopes toy sheep and cows were
grazing, while the miniature lake (a
piece of glass) was populated by cellu-
loid toy ducks. A toy crane stood on
one leg at the edge of the lake. Trees
were represented on the hillside with
twigs, with tiny stuffed birds and butter-
flies fluttering around to lend atmosphere
to the scene. There was a group of
houses at the top of the hills, with toy
men and women working in their gar-
dens, with miniature rakes, hoes, wheel-
barrows, etc.

'WindoTT Card Snggestions

Now for two window card suggestions
— Morehouse and Wells Co., Decatur, 111.,
employed the following placard :

"Prepare for that Garden now.
Garden Tools for Every Purpose."

Linn .and Scruggs, Decatur, Til., in-
quired :

"Have you Planted your Garden ?
"Our large basement section is ready to
supply you with tools and seeds."

The Week at the Capital t

$5,000,000 For Seed

Washington, Feb. 21. — A bill appro-
priating $5,000,000 to buy seed grain for
farmers in drought stricken areas of the
West passed the Senate today without a
record vote. It now goes to the House.

New Jersey Passes Daylight Saving
Bill

The Elbridge Daylight Saving Bill was
passed bv the House of Representatives
on Feb. 22 by a vote of 33 to 16. The
bill provides for .setting forward the clock
one hour on April 1, and putting it back
on the last day of September.

Scientific Assistant Wanted

The United States Civil Service Com-
mission, Washington, D. C, announces an
open competitive examination for the
post of scientific assistant.

Citizens of either sex may enter the
examination, which takes place on April
13 and 14. The position carries a salary
ranging as high as $1860 a year.

Application should be made for form
No 131B, which provides full details re-
garding the examination.

Business is Better, Thank Tou

A steady improvement in business con-
ditions is reported by traveling salesmen
from all sections of the country^ accord-
ing to Archer Wall Douglas, chairman of
the Committee on Statistics and Stand-
ards of the U. S. Chamber of Conunerce,
in his monthly review of business condi*
tions. This, he declares, is the most con-
vincing evidence that we are on the high
road to recovery.

Business men throughout the country, it is
found, are leas concerned about the prob-
lems of labor, material, prices, transporta-
tion and collections, than about the ques-
tion of sales. When demand does start
up, the whole tangled economic skein will
begin to unwind, like the nursery rhyme
in which "the butcher began to kill the
ox, the ox began to drink the water,"
and the pig at the other end of the rhyiae
began to get over the fence, and "so the i
old woman got home that night."

While unemployment is still large, there i
is more work and less idleness on the I
whole in industrial sections, and all in- i
dications point to a rapid recovery in the I
near future.

The report decries the practice, that <
has sprung up among so many business i
men and organizations, of prophesying the I
coming of a new prosperity at any sped- (
fied date. It is perfectly obvious, it says, i
that prices have not reached bottom in
all lines, and that the general thought in-
clines to early Spring, as the time when •
distinctly definite improvement will set «
in. All are agreed that the only way to
hasten matters is by the general exercise \
of the homely virtues of hard work and
ecenomy.

Terminal Inspection of Plants in Hawal <

The Post Office Department announces
that the territory of Hawaii has estab- <
lished Hilo as the place for the terminal
inspection of plant and plant products
under the provisions of the existing law,
and has notified all postmasters that pack-
ages containing plants or plant products
addressed to places in the Hawaiian
Islands may be accepted for mailing only
when plainly marked so that the contents
may be readily ascertained by an inspec-
tion of the outside thereof. Failure^ to
mark such parcels made an offence punish-
able by a fine of not more than $100.

The plants and plant products subject'
to this terminal inspection are: 'All *
florists' stock, trees, shrubs, vines, cut- -'
tings, grafts, scions, buds, fruit pits and i
other seeds of fruit and ornamental trees '
and shrubs, and other plants and plant
products in the raw or unmanufactured
state, except vegetable and flower seeds;
provided, that this list shall not apply to
plants and plant products shipped under
the certiflcation of the Federal Horti-
cultural Board of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture."

Italy Askes Duty Free Seeds

The Italian Chamber of Commerce of
New York, through its president, Louis
J. Scaramelli, has urged the House WayS"
and Means Committee to continue grass™ i
and garden seeds on the free list. It says I
"Seeds are too important a commodity,
considering the purpose which they serve,
namely, the reproduction of crops, and
their required qualifications as to true-
ness and viability are too significant to
be viewed merely from a fiscal stand-
point. Since the privilege of producing
I good seed, the first essential for good
j crops, depends upon a number of factors,
. of which climate, season, soil, location,
j diversification and specialization of crops,
j methods of cultivation, market conditions,
: etc., are some of the most obvious, imp*
portation of seeds from countries enjoying
almost a national monopoly of quality foi
certain seeds must follow as a logical re- ,
suit.
; "If a crop fails in this country, a not
j uncommon event, the natural sequence if
, that the farmer must for his next plant
I ing procure seed from another country ;
where the crop has been successful. T(
I renew seed, once in a while, is also ar
established tenet of good farming. Whei
■ demand is made upon another country foi
I good seed, there is something more thai
' mere buying and selling; it implies a co
I operation for the common good. Tbj
farmer who has to go abroad for l^ia fCfJ
as it is often the case with Clover, Alfaltj
and other grasses and garden seeds, i

Shirley Poppies Under Glass

If you want to cut some long stem
Poppies diirinK May in beautiful shades
of light and deep pink, rose and white,
WW seed now of Shirley Poppies. There
is little lasting quality in the single Pop-
pies you cut on a hot Summer day, but
those grown under glass and cut in bud,
will stay good for four to five days.

Every retail grower can sell a good
many of them during May. The seed is
very small and scarcely needs to be cov-
ered. As soon as you can get hold of
tlio seedlings, pot them up in 2's. Pop-
pies don't like transplanting, but when
once established in a pot, you can do al-
most anything with them as long as you
don't disturb the roots. A good way is to
bench them in April or' plant out on a
solid bed, but just as good results can
be had by growing the plants in pots, that
is for those who only grow a few of them.
Another way is to sow the seeds in rows
across the bench and thin out afterward.

Dimorphotheca

Orange African Daisy

Among the hybrids of D. Aurantiaca,
are some fine sorts, not only orange but
lighter shades. While they don't interest
the florist much as outdoor Summer flow-
ering plants to cut from, if you have them
ready during May you will find no trouble
in selling them. If you have a solid bed,
seed can be sown now in rows about one
foot apart. The plants will be a mass
of flowers with good etems by the middle
of May.

Stocks

If you want stocks in flower for Me-
morial Day, seed can still be sown now;
carry the seedlings in pot up to the end
of March, then plant out either on a
bench or bed, allowing about lOin. of space
between the plants. Stocks are cool house
plants and don't like a hot, dry tempera-
ture. Among the desirable sorts to sow
now, we have Queen Alexandra, soft lilac,
a beautiful color, the well kno\vn beauty
of Nice for pink and Mt. Blanc. If you
have only space for a few, just grow the
pink sort.

Iceland Poppies

Papaver Xudicaule

Among the earliest to flower in Spring
in the hardy border are the Iceland Pop-
pies and among the newer hybrids you
will find some excellent large sized flowers
on good stems, which make fine cut flow-
ers, if you cut them just before the buds
are ready to open. The time to sow Ice-
land Poppies is now and the plant, or
most of them will flower next June but,
of course, will be better another year.
Any of your patrons with a perennial
lavender border will be glad to have a
few clumps of this Poppy planted along
the edge; they usually are in flower long
before the Cohunbines or other Poppies,
but you need from sis to eight plants in
a clump in order to make a good showing.
It is also well to keep on sowing a little
seed each year and replant every second
year. When you order the seed, it may
be well to get a package of each of the
Oriental sorts, such as Princess Victoria,
a beautiful pink, Perry's White and the

crimson Papaver orientale. Seed sown
now, will give you flowering plants by the
Spring of 1922.

Gladioli for June

If you want Gladioli in flower by June
outdoors, a time when there are but few
in the market compared with what we
have in August and September, plant
bulbs now in pots. You can plant two
first sized bulbs into a 4in. pot and place
below a cold house bench. It will take
fully a month before growth makes it
necessary to bring the pots on a bench;
that would be about early April. By the
15th of that month you can plant them
outdoors. Take out of the pots and plant
in a coldfrarae; as long as you have about
one foot of headroom, that is all that is
necessary. Place sashes over the plants
and, if you need the sashes for your hot-
beds, protect the plants during frosty
weather or cold nights with shade frames
or boards; a little frost won't hurt them,
but they can't stand much. With half-
way decent weather conditions, these
plants will set buds by the flrst part of
June. Of course, if you have a deep
frame, and can place sashes over them, so
much the better; they will flower earlier,
but if hardened off, you can plant them
even in the open and cut long before July
fourth.

Feverfew for Memorial Day

While Feverfew is a desirable flower
for Memorial Day, it usually sells as well
before or after, and even those not much
affected by ]\Iemorial Day should grow a
batch of plants. Good, strong 3in. pot
plants benched or planted on a bed now.

and given a 48 or 50 deg. house, will give
a fine crop from the middle of May on.
You want plants just coming into flower
by the ena of May for window boxea
and vases. Root cuttings now, and keep
them shifted on. You can also grow them
from seed, but usually there are so many
single and semi-double among seedlings
that it doesn't pay. If you do grow from
seed, select a few of the most double
and keep those for stock to furnish cut-
tings for another year.

Cobsa scandens

By the first of March, you can make
a sowing of Cob sea scandens, the most
popular of annual climbers. While the
plants grow rapidly toward the end of
April and early May, in fact, so rapidly
that we find it hard to attend to them
properly with so much other work to do,
yet you want heavy plants to start out
with. Stock in 5in. pots, tied up neatly
to a three to four foot stake, is
what appeals to your customer. Such
plants will in one month after being
planted out, grow up 8 to 10ft. They
don't take all Summer to make a showing.
Smaller stock in 4in. pots for which you
can't charge much more than 35c., it is
time enough to sow about March 25.
Plant the seed edgeways in the pans or
flats and let them have a little bottom
heat. When large enough to handle, pot
them up into 3^'s; it is a waste of time
to use 2^'s. Pinch the young growth back
several times to obtain bushy plants; they
usually don't need staking until they get
their final shift, but when once staked,
you will have to go over them at leallt
once a week, that is if you want results.

Heating Frames

Would it be practical to run a steam
line around frames to keep out frost on
cold nights instead of using mats, which
are costly to build and hard to handle?
Following ia the proposition imder consid-
eration. Seven frames 225ft. long and
10ft. wide, side boards rising one foot
above the surface inside and banked with
earth on the outside. Ridge 4ft. above
soil inside. Board ends, roof of 6ft.
single light sash. Frames are situated
side by side with a four foot path be-
tween. The first frame is situated 20ft.
from the boiler-room, and the last 120ft.,
the other five range in between these two.
Thus, the distance from the boiler-room
to the farthest end of the seventh is
345ft.

These frames are used during the
months of March, April and May for
growing vegetable plants. The outside
temperature rarely falls below 20 deg.
during this period. What size steam line
would it require to maintain a tempera-
ture of 45 aeg. to 50 deg. at night with
temperature outside at 20 deg?

As these frames are used as a whole,
could they all be supplied from the same
main. The boiler pit being 10ft. below
the surface, could the condensation be re-
turned by gravity? What size boiler
would be required for the job? — ^M. P. Co.,
N". J.

— ^The seven frames, each 225ft. by 10ft.,
can be heated by steam, and the water
from condensation can be returned to the
boiler by gravity, if placed in a cellar
10ft. below the level of the soil inside
the frames.

It is difficult to figure the exact amount
of radiation required on houses where 3ft.
by Oft. sash are used on the roof, as
there is quite a leaking of air from be-
tween the sash, unless they are thoroughly
battened together.

If the roof sash are so arranged that
they are practically tight, I would use
two lines of l%in. pipe in each frame,
which should give a temperature of about
45 deg. at night when the mercury outside
ifl 20 deg. above zero. I would carry a
3%in. steam main from the boiler across
the ends of the frames and connect one
of the l%in. pipes in each frame to this
steam main, the other l%in. pipe to

connect to the return main, which should
be 2in. The steam and return end of
each coil should be valved, and an auto-
matic air valve placed on the low end of
each coil. Arrange the coils with a down
grade, so that the water from condensa-
tion will flow in the same direction as
the steam.

As to the size of boiler for above^ work,
if a cast iron sectional steam boiler Is
used, I would advise using a nine sec-
tional boiler with a grate 36in. wide by
62in. long. The height of water line of a
boiler of this size would be about 59in.
J. N. MoAethue.

A Heating Problem

I contemplate building a greenhouse in
the Spring— 200ft. long and 22ft. wide,
6ft. high on sides, 2ft. glass, 4ft. concrete,
running East and West, glass on West
end. East end to shed. Boiler will be
40ft. away from this house, running
through present potting shed to future
house and shed, making 240ft. of piping
to end of house. I will use Sin. pipe in
trench to supply pipes in^ greenhouse.
Now what I want to know is, can I use
2in. pipe for heating with hot water? 1
have these and would like to use them if
they will work in a house of that length.
When boiler is singing, what temperature
is it and what should the temperature be
at boiler return in a 100ft. house? Also,
what in a house of 200ft? Would 4in.
pipe give better circulation?

I have a city water pressure of 40 lbs.
which I thought I might hitch to the
boiler at the returns to speed up circu-
lation. How would this work?— C.F. W.,
Conn.

— I figure the greenhouse you describe
has equivalent to about 6490 sq. ft. of ex-
posed glass surface.

Two inch pipes can be used to heat a
greenhouse 200ft. long and 22ft. wide,
with the boiler situated 40ft. from end
of greenhouse, providing you have suffi-
cient boiler power and the pipes properly
installed. You do not state the tempera-
ture you require, but, assuming that the
house is tightly glazed with double thick
glass and a night temperature of 55 to
60 deg. is required when the mercury
outside is at zero, I figure the house
would require about 3460 lineal ft. of 2in.

pipe, which is equivalent to about 2163 sq.
ft. of radiation.

Greenhouse manufacturers, who make a
specialty of building and heating green-
houses, use either 2in. or S^/^in. pipe for
hot water heating in houses of this length,
and either will give good results when
properly proportioned and properly in-
stalled.

As to the temperature of the water
leaving the boiler when boiler is "sing-
ing" can only be determined by using a
thermometer tapped into the boiler or flow-
outlet. The temperature of the water in
the return can be gotten by placing a
thermometer in the return also, but in
houses from one to two hundred feet long
with a gravity circulation you may expect
a temperature difference of the water in
flow and return or from 15 to 35 deg. de-
pending, of course, on the rapidity of the
circujation.

The temperature of the water in the
system can be raised by putting the sys-
tem under pressure, but I would not ad-
vise expanding against the city water
pressure of 40 lbs. J. N". McAkthur.

fumigate during sunshine. You will, of
course, know that plants and house should
be dry as possible. No watering should
be done beforehand.

Cyaniding Lilies

Will you kindly say if cyanide fumiga-
tion will injure Easter Lilies? I have a
bunch of Easter Lilies in a house in which
I am raising Tomato plants for Spring
crop, and they have considerable White
Fly. I want to give them a light fumiga-
tion with cyanide, but do not know what
effect it will have on the Lilies, which are
showing bud now? — J. M. S., N. J.

— Experiments have proven that cyanide
is safe for Lilies, but as it is White Fly
that is troubling you, it will be necessary
for you to give three doses at intervals
of seven or eight days, using %oz. of
sodium cyanide for each 1000 cu. ft. Make
sure you have pure sodium. Expose house
to gas one hour each time and have
temperature at 60 deg.

Be sure you have correct weights for
the space to be covered, and do not over-
look the fact that the water is in the
dishes first. For each ounce of sodium,
l^oz. of sulphuric acid is needed and 2oz.
of water.

The cyanide should be in blotting paper
or bought specially put up. Open house
after an hour or so and on no account

Standard Heliotrope

E- L. Conn. — It would have been better
to have partly rested the plants during
the Winter, nothing is gained by keeping
them in full growth, as the wood made, is
soft and of little service. Cut away the
weakly shoots and head back others that
are straggly. If possible, shift into
larger pots or, at least, remove some of
the top soil and replace with good, rich
loam and rotted manure.

Do not run the temperature too high;
55 at night is ample, as you want hard
sturdy growth when bedding out time
comes. Feed freely with weak cow
manure and soot water when in full
growth.

John Burroughs in Hospital

John Burroughs, the naturalist and
poet, is in the Pasadena (Calif.) hospital.
It is stated that Mr. Burroughs, who is
approaching his eighty-fourth birthday,
went there for a rest and that his con-
dition is satisfactory.

It is reported that after his rest he
will be able to go back to his bungalow
in the foothills near Sierra Madre to en-
joy the remainder of his visit.

A Million Dollar Garden

The gardens of Samuel Untermyer of
Graystone, Hastings, N. Y., are known far
and wide, as being among the finest in
the country, but it may not be generally
known that more than $1,000,000 have
been spent upon them.

This fact was mentioned at the recent
suit between Mr. Untermyer and F. W.
Smythe, a landscape artist of New Eo-
chelle.

The latter claimed $7,800 as commis-
sions on certain plantings, but the matter
was settled at $5,000.

The total commissions received by Mr.
Smythe for his work at Graystone are
reported to be $135,200.

already under some disadvantage without
adding to the responsibility of his call as
a producer the burden of fiscal dues. It
ia essential that he should have the bene-
fit of an unhampered market.

"The importation of seeds is subject to
Government control under the Seed Im-
portation Act. This is, by itself, a pro-
tection to any domestic industry of the
kind, as it only permits entry of seed of
good quality, which means seed at such
a price that it cannot be of a competitive
character.

"This traffic operates almost automatic-
ally. When the seed crop is plentiful here,
importation remains in abeyance. It is
only when crops fail in this country that
resort is made to the foreign supply."
**Business as Usual" Mar. 4

The proprietors of Washington's retail
flower stores have been wondering what
would be the desire of President-elect
Harding's desires as to the closing of all
business establishments in Washington on
Inauguration Day.

His wishes have now been made known
in a telegram received by the Merchants'
and Manufacturers' Aas'n, which reads as
follows:

"Mr. Christian has brought to my atten-
tion your telegram to him of Feb. 17.

President Wilson has, however, si^ed
an executive order making March 4 a full
holiday for the employees of the Govern-
ment in the District of Columbia. This
and the fact that thousands of people
who have planned to make the trip to
Washington and will do so even in the
absence of ceremonies, give rise to many
social events demanding flowers m decora-
tions and for personal adornment.

For St. Valentine's Day there were
some fine windows. J. J. Higgins had a
large heart planted with Lily of the
Valley in the center of his window.
Through the heart was a red Tulip arrow.

Simmons & Son had a heart that filled
the whole of one of their large windows
and formed the background for a collec-
tion of beautiful Spring flowers, ar-
ranged in baskets of varying heights. _ ^

Dimlop's was very busy on Valentine s
Day and required extra trucks for de-
livery. Mr. Geraghty stated that busi-
ness has been good. Flowers are coming
in more plentifully and fine quality Roses
are being received. The Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition Board meets on Feb.
23, when the Fall flower show will be
discussed. George M. Geraghty repre-

H. G. Dillemuth reports that business
is good. There is lots of design work and'
many decorations even if it is the Lenten
season. Stock is more plentiful. There
are lots of choice Roses and Carnations
and the supply of bulb stock is heavy.
Prices are on the downward trend, the re-
duction being as much as 20 per cent
for next week. A visit to the greenhouses
shows that Easter Lilies give great prom-
ise. There will also be for Easter quan-
tities of Spirea, Azaleas and Rhododen-
drons. Many bulbs are being held back
so there will be no shortage of this class
of stock at Easter.

Canadian florists are "at sea" as far as
the luxury tax on flowers is concerned.
Many different rulings have been made
and as it stands now, florists are required
to collect 2 per cent on made up designs,
wreaths, bouquets, etc., but cut flowers as
such and potted plants grown in Canada
are free from the tax. Here is a quota-
tion from the assistant Deputy Minister
of Inland Revenue: "A retail florist must
collect sales tax of 2 per cent if he pro-
duces bouquets, wreaths or other floral de-
signs which are sold to another retailer or
consumer." In any case the retail florist

Among the Sweet Peas and Carnations

Thursday, Feb. 17 brought us the fol-
lowing visitors from Philadelphia, Messrs.
S. S. Pennock, Ed. Fancourt, Geo. W. Kerr,
W. K. Harris, M. P. Mills and Robert
Kift. From Waynesboro Henry Eichholz
and from Kennet Square, J. H. Thomp-
son and E. Marshall.

These gentlemen and a few of our Lan-
caster growers first visited the establish-
ments of Chas. M. & Elmer Weaver. The
lack of numbers among our o%vn people
was explained by the fact that ever since
the first of the year, a number of our
local growers have been visiting here to
watch the new Peas and Carnations and
these visits were too recent to expect an-
other one at this time.

At. Chas. M. Weaver's we found Sweet
Peas by the million, and in almost every
known variety, including all of the new
ones of the W. Atlee Burpee Co., and with
Mr. Kerr the originator of these new
varieties as our guide, it was an educa-
tional and intellectual treat to walk down
the 300 foot rows and compare the dif-
ferent varieties. The cut from this place
is enormous and almost continuous. A
house of Mignonette that the writer was
enthusiastic over on a former visit having
passed it's zenith, was torn out to make
way for Gladioli, of which he has the
second largest lot of bulbs in the county.
At Elmer Weaver's, one house is given
half to Sweet Peas and the other half to
Carnations; the house is a mile or less
high and the Sweet Peas are hunting the
roof, double tier walks being necessary to
pick the flowers. In Carnations, White
Bonora carries the honors in the white
class, and it will take something phe-
nomenal to beat it, as it is done at this
establishment. Aviator is the standard
scarlet, showing better quality than in
most places. Laddie is, of course the cream
of them all with some seedlings not so
far behind in quality. Ruth Baur is also
showing up in pretty good shape, but the
main attraction was the Eichholz varieties;
these all showed up in good shape. Lassie
especially was a mass of buds and blooms,
the color even and pleasing, and the stems
were reasonably strong, carrying the flow-
er in good shape. Mr. Eichholz said that
it was an all year Carnation, the color in
the Summer being as good as it was now.
Red Matchless has extra fine growth, a
real Matchless fiower as to stem and form,
but not as bright a red as Redhead, which
has that orange red shading in its petals
that makes it ideal for use under artificial
light. Redhead is not quite as strong a
grower as Red Matchless, but^ is a free
bloomer and has many good points.

The immense house of Pilgrim Roses
here was an eye opener to our Philadel-
phia visitors as to what Lancaster County
can do in Roses; they are ideal in growth,
in quality and number of blooms showing.
Mushrooms are also a specialty of this
establishment, and the mushroom houses
came in for their share of appreciation.
On the way back to Lancaster we
stopped at the establishment of the H. K.
& A. K. Rohrers the home of Primroses
and found it well named, for Primula
obconica and P. Forbseii were there by the
thousand, and as good as it is possible to
grow them. They also run Cineraria and
Cyclamen (several houses of them) as a pot
plants, and are not very far behind
the crack growers of the country in these.
In cut flowers, Carnations and Callas are
the product.
The Business Meeting

Robert Kift brought with him a
box of exceptionally large Freesia for ex-
hibition purposes. He said the box was
having a varied experience; first being
left on the train, seen by eomeone and

thrown off int the depot; picked up by
someone who knew something of the party,
and who telephoned to Elmer Weaver's
about it, and was told to deliver it there
before the party left. Just as we were
getting on the car, it was rushed to Mr.
Kift by Lloyd Weaver and its wanderings
finally ended on the exhibition table in
the Brunswick where it was much admired
by all the members.

The meeting opened at 6.30 in the
Brunswick with a dinner, at which 59 of
us sat do^vn and indulged in a menu of
grape fruit, vegetable soup, chicken cro-
quets, green peas, ice cream, coffee and
cigars with the regular side subsidiaries.
After the preliminaries of the meeting
B. F. Barr took charge as host of the
occasion, and the first event was a self
introduction where each one stood up and
announced his name. The next was a
drawing of place cards with the ladies
names thereon for prizes when the fol-
lowing ladies drew prizes, Mrs. Rudolph
Nagle, Mrs. Elmer Weaver, Mrs. P. De-
Hertogh, Mrs. Lemon Landis and Mrs.
Rutter Hess.

Cards were given each member for the
purpose of writing his opinion on our
giving a flower show this Fall and, it be-
ing universally agreed upon, Mr. Barr
called for remarks from some of the visi-
tors, all of whom boosted the idea.

The meeting broke up about 8.30 with
every one happy and satisfied. On ac-
count of Easter coming so close to our
next regular meeting night, it was agreed
to drop the March meeting and have the
next one April 21, again at the Bruns-
wick with a dollar dinner, which will
more nearly conform to our New Yorker's
ideas, although a look at the above menu
isn't so bad, is it?
A Tallc on Carnations

Mr. Eichholz spoke on his new Car-
nations. He said that raising Carnation
seedlings is an easy proposition, that he
had raised over $100,000 in his time, but
the raising of- sensational varieties was
quite another thing.

The Maker of the universe is in these
new creations as He is in everything, man
being only his tool and, the man who
thinks he is the creator of a new Carna-
tion, has too large an opinion of himself.
If science and experience were the whole
cause of sensational varieties, then Mr.
Fisher and Mr. Dorner would give us
varieties in all colors equal to Laddie
and Enchantress.

"Realizing this fact after a disastrous fire
eight years ago, and having laid all plans
for the growing of seedlings, we went at
it scientifically, but every morning with a
prayer on our lips" said Mr. Eichholz.
"After being sure of certain varieties, we
began to look around for assistance as a
small grower with a small place cannot
handle a ^ new Carnation on the proper
scale for introducing it to the trade.

"Red Matchless is a seedling from a na-
turally fertilised pod of Matchless. We
attempted to introduce it through some of
the larger growers, but with discouraging
results, but finally it was tried out by a
■*on the money back if the variety failed to
make good" basis. In our efforts to intro-
duce it, we called it a sport from Matchless
which in a measure it was, but Elmer
Weaver and Mr. Jurgens, both of whom
are growing it, were distinctly told that it
was a seedling of Matchless."

"We especially worked on Red Match-
less because it had all the good qualities
of ^Matchless in growth, stem and size with
the added attraction of color.

'Xassie, we consider a good running mate
to Laddie; originally it was named Mary
Pickford, but our Mary, not wishing to
have her name commercialized and remem-
bering her in one of her pictures as a
Scotch lassie, we renamed it Lassie, con-
sidering it a good running mate to Laddie
as the best commercial Carnation of its
color.

"Redhead is also making friends where
it is being tried out. I hope to see the
day when the Carnation Society will show
you the new varieties growing side by
side in a greenhouse establishment where
the Society meets and, may the day soon
come when every grower (large or small)
of new Carnations will guarantee his
varieties to prove satisfactory or your
money back."

Mr. Eichholz was given a vote of thanks
for his remarks. Albert M. Herb.

in every seasonable flower on the list, wit
a drop in prices. The demand is not larg i
enough to absorb it all, and it takes pus) !
ing and price concessions to move the su:
plus.

St. Valentine Day's business was sati
factory to everyone concerned; while tob
volume was not as large as 1920, it W8 i
larger than 1919, which is the year that : .■
should be compared with. Stock we ;
plentiful and with no increase in prices
in some cases lowered prices. Vast quai
titles were moved. oIFlo^Wng Valentir
day, large quantities of bulbous stock wj ;
dumped on the market, which caused a
xmsettled condition, and for the first tin
in weeks, the wholesaler foxmd his i(
boxes full at the end of the day's busines ,
but by Saturday night, everything wj i
pretty well cleaned up.

The Rose cut is on the increase, and tl ; '
quality is of the best. The varieties ii
elude Premier, Colvunbia, Butterfly, Pi .
grim, Ophelia, Sunburst, Hilda, Mr .
Aaron Ward, Maryland, Milady, Rid ,
mond, and Double White Killarney. ^
few Pink Killarney are seen but ni :
enough to amount to anything. The Ca
nation supply has nearly doubled in t! i
last two weeks, with a noticeable drc
in price. The supply of Easter Lilies hi -
also increased, but not enough to caui .
any big eduction in price. Calk j
are still in short supply and clean \
daily. '

Sweet Peas are arriving in larger qua
tities with a light demand; this also holi ■
true of Violets, Valley and orchids;
fact, the demand for corsage flowers is ve;
light during Lent. Last year it was n i
noticed, as every item could be used
funeral work.

Jonquils, Daffodils, Paperwhite Narc: '
sus, and Tulips are coming in large qua ■
tities, and are hardly bringing enough
let the grower break even. The trout
is there is entirely too much bulb sto-
brought in at this time, and with 1 1
present high price of bulbs the grow ;
is going to be the loser.

The Market

The long expected and overdue
break in the market has arrived at last;
not a serious glut, but a decided increase

Feb. 19. — Valentine business in Li ^
caster showed an increase over last 8
son, but the increase was almost who
in the plant end of the business, due
several reasons. It is claimed that h
prices of cut flowers wholesale and ' i
fact that Valentine Day came on a Mond
which is not a flower buying day cam
this change. With the noise made by
creasing prices along all retail lines, it
a surprise that the flower buying pul
did increase the day's trade over that
a year ago when every one was flush w
money.

Following these special flower days,
often experience a rather dull week, 1 1
the past one was an exception, as all
stores seemed busy with email trade, nu
of which was plants and bunches .
Spring flowers. These have caught \
popular fancy and constitute the bulk ;
the cut flower trade.

Summer weather has brought
both vegetation and Springs birds, i '
greenhouse products have flourished ,
cordingly, but today we are in the g
of a cold Northeaster accompanied \ '
tunately by a heavy fall of snow wd ■
will take care of the vegetation if '
cold does not keep up too long. |

The Market

Ftb. 22. — "The sun do shine," and when
it .mIiows its face, flowers will bloom. It
wuH jvist that way the past week, and thn
local markft huH been alightly overloaded
witli really a fine grade of stock. On
Saturday, the street boyw had their turn
at tlie bat and Lexington Ht. was working
i)ff the BiirnhiH. The blizzard struck us
Sunday and Monday of this week, and
made arrivals somewhat later, but there is
plenty to go around.

Short and medium Roses have not
dropped much in price, 8c. to 12c. The
long fancy grades are getting the worst of
it; the top price is 20c. and they hang at
that.

Some fancy Carnations bring 12e,, but
not many; tliey average from 6c. to 8c.
The Violet situation is about at its worst;
they are hard to move at any price.

I Freesia hold the record for heavy ar-
rivals and slow sales. Hyacinths and

I Tulips are not top heavy as yet, but the
market is weak,

I Sweet Peas are plentiful and beautiful,

I but no pep in the sales.

Lots of orchids about, but slow of

' movement; prices very low, Callas too are
much heavier in arrivals, and the top

[ price is S2.50 per doz., with a big lot at
cheaper rates.

I Camellias are still to be had, but the
demand is limited; there was a good call
for this old-fashioned flower last week and
at a fair price.

There is some fine Acacia pubescens
about, and Snapdragon is in better aup-

piy-^

Of Mignonette, Pansies, Myosotis, Wall-
flowers and Daisies, there is but a limited
supply. Green goods are holding their own
in supply and demand.

Xevs Notes

H. Clay Primrose, president ef London
iS^urseries, Inc., has ordered material from
Lord and Burnham Co., for a new show
house and conservatorv, connecting up
with the office at 3906 Frederick ave.
Situated upon a much traveled road and
within but a short distance of the green-
house plant and nursery, it will serve a
great convenience to the retail customers,
in the purchase of cut flowers and pot
plants. Mr. Primrose hopes to have the
improvement complete, and ready for busi-
ness the week before Easter.

There is an erroneous impression made
by the circular letter sent out by the new
corporation, trading as Akehurst & Sons,
Inc. At a subsequent meeting held by
the directors on Monday, it was declared,
that the company did not intend to open
retail stores in the future. The business
is to be conducted entirely upon whole-
sale lines.

St. Valentine's Day did not cause much
of a rush for flowers among the retailers.
Of course the stores were busy with a
goodly amount of floral valentine work,
and the F. T. D. business, was most satis-
factory, but the day did not very ma-
terially increase the demand which did
not quite take up all the stock that was
offered in the market.

Isaac H. Moss, Inc., are in the best of
shape for Easter business. Noticeable
among the large bunch of other salable
and well grown stock are some extra fancy
Hydrangea otaska, in Sin. pots. The
plants show exceeding merit. There is no
"lick and a promise" about this lot; prac-
tically every plant is perfect. We counted
as many as 17 heads on well rounded
hea^-j^ foliaged plants. Harry Beard says
the favorable growing conditions last
Summer put weight into the gro%vth, and
they surely look it. The genial superin-
tendent of the York Road plant has every
right to feel proud of his blocks of Lilies,
Bougainvilleas, Primulas, Begonias, pot
Roses, ferns. His Cattleyas, too, are
heavy with buds and bloom. Mr, Moss
is trying out a new Bougainvillea, {we
were unfortunate to miss the name) , It
is a vivid scarlet in color, and has all
the promise of being a valuable Xmas
plant. Mr. Moss hopes to be able to flower
it at that season. We found in the small
house of the Rose range, a table filled
with the superb new sport of Pink Radi-
ance, which the firm has been growing
along for a year or so. This sport has
the habit and heavy growth of the parent
and is of a pleasing silver pink shade,
entirely different from the old variety.

Mrs. I. J. Christie has repainted the
inside and outside of the store on Green-
mount ave., and on Saturday, we noticed
a beautiful window of Spring flowers.

plants of little value in any sense.
le wild garden we might admit Poly-

more well known species Polygonum

our plant in the picture has done this and
mounted to the roof.

A goodly season of bloom is afforded by
this plant because long after the first flowers
appear it keeps on growing and producing
flowers indefinitely until the cold nights stop
its growth.

The plant can be increased either from
seed or by cutting, the latter method being
the best for quick results.

Arbor Day and Nurserymen

To stimulate the planting of ornamental
trees and increased interest generally in Ar-
bor Day and what it stands for the, Cloquet
Forest Experiment Station of Minnesota of-
fers aJl schools of that State an opportuntiy
to secure 25 evergreens free of cost save
for a charge of 3Sc. for digging, packing and
mailing. Only one shipment can be made to
any school, and all requests, which must be
accompanied by remittances, must be re-
ceived by April 1.

Why would not such an offer prove a val-
uable bit of advertising for a nursery firm —
especially if it also provided an easy way to
dispose of an unmarketable surplus of some
special stock? It could easily and legitimately
be reduced to ten or half a dozen trees — or
even one tree if of good size — and still re-
main an attractive proposition to any pro-
gressive school with real ambition and desire
to improve its surroundings.

Only a moderate remittance would be neces-
sary to cover the transportation charges, and
every shipment could include a card of in-
structions on how to plant and care for trees,
that could carry the name of the nursery as a
prominent feature. In addition, a little judi-
cious publicity in the form of news notes
about the offer and the response of different
schools in different communities, distributed
among the local papers would certainly bring
in some inquiries and probably some business
from new customers. Finally the restriction
of the offer to schools, or if desired to parks,
libraries or other public buildings or_ insti-
tutions would tend to remove any objection
to the plan such as is usually and rightly as-
sociated with the "giving of something for
nothing."

your experience will tell you to use a stomach poison —
arsenate of lead, Paris green. Hellebore, etc. IJut this
is only "first aid." Don't let it go at that. Take the
trouble to study your pest ; have it identified ; know
its life cycle and you may discover a season when it
is most vulnerable.

The Tussock Moth

If you are troubled with the tussock moth caterpillar,
a knowledge of its life cycle will inform you that after
passing two, three or more, further South- — broods dur-
ing the Summer, the female lays her frothy white egg
cluster on top of her cocoon from which she has just
emerged and forthwith gives up the ghost. These eggs
remain conspicuous over Winter. Every cluster col-
lected and destroyed deals the solar plexus to two or three
hundred caterpillars. And, if you get all the clusters
there's no need to spray. Likewise the removal of the

"bags," the female of which contain
and winter the eggs for next year
may keep the bag worm from de-
vouring their favorite host plants
your choice arborvitses.
host plant — your choice arborvitaes.

Reasoning along the same line with scale insects, you
naturally turn to the contact insecticides like kerosene
emulsion, whale or fish oil soap, lime-sulphur-salt, to-
bacco preparations, or crude and miscible oils for first
aid. But identification and study of our old friend, San
Jose scale, Aspidiotus perniciosus, shows it to be a pro-
lific breeder; viviparous, that is, producing no eggs, but
giving direct birth to living young, which appear when
days become warm in late Spring and continue throughout
Summer. Experts have figured that Mr. and Mrs.
San Jose will produce a family of 3,216,080,400 in one
season. No wonder birth control efforts are essential in
the form of systematic spraying!

Incidentally, botanists are no more thorough in their
research work of recognizing and identifying species
than are entomologists, as the layman who first sees
and then thinks he knows San Jose scale, will testify
after being fooled on a few of the many other species
of Aspidiotus. There is A. ancylus or Putnam's scale
found on Beech, Oak, Red Maple and Sweet Gum; A.
liedera, the white scale of I\'y, palms, etc.; A. obscttrus,
on Red Oak; A. fenebricosus, the gloomy scale of Silver
Maple; A. forbesi, the Cherry scale and many more
species whose acquaintance the writer has not made.

How much do we know about our own country any-
way? Take Florida, for instance. There are a lot of
interesting things in Dr. Blair's article on page 465
this issue, that we never knew, or at least never realized.
But still we don't fully understand the workings of a
local, community pride that sings the praises of Florida
as a fruit growing Paradise while, all the time, there
are found on sale in the local stores all kinds of Cali-
fornia canned fruits ! We are hoping that more light
will be thrown on this matter in future contributions
to the discussion we have started on "Florida vs. Cali-
fornia."

There are but two weeks remaining — come Monday,
Feb. 28 — before the opening of the New York Flower
Show at the Grand Central Palace, unfortunately the
last to be held in that building of flower show suc-
cesses, owing to its being turned over to other more
prosaic uses.

All the arrangements being now practically completed,
it remains for the trade at large to concentrate its
endeavors on the purchase of trade tickets, this being
its privilege and as well its duty, in order to promote
a large and enthusiastic attendance.

Clearing the Air for the Bulb Forcer

It is a good sign in any controversy when one side
or the other begins to concede certain things and to
dig for the underlying facts instead of merely "sling-
ing criticism." Perhaps this stage has not exactly been
reached in the Dutch bulb situation, which at times
threatens to create a deadlock, with resulting loss of
business, but a similar effect may well be looked for
as a result of the valuable paper, published elsewhere
'•in this issue, on some common bulb troubles and their
"prevention. That, of course, assumes that American
bulb forcers will read the article and seriously note its
recommendations.

For while the author is not a party to the contro-
versy, he is in close touch with both aspects of it and
can — and <loes — speak frankly as to the mistakes and
opportunities of all concerned.

■Two matters strike us as of particular significance^
though all of the article is practical, helpful and de-
serving of most careful attention. The first is the fact
that blindness in bulbs can be detected by the simple
method of cutting them in two and examining the flower
bud within : if brown or black, it is dead. By thus test-
ing a few bulbs in every lot, any buyer can quickly
ascertain their general condition instead of waiting
until they bloom.

The second feature of special interest consists of the
detailed diiections as to how to keep bulbs up to forc-
ing time so that, if healthy to begin with, they will
continue so and bring maximum returns. The "cold
storage" in deep trenches recommended by Mr. Lange-
ler is as practicable as it is logical. With this guiding
information available there is no reason why the losses
from poorly flowering bulbs, to which many forcers
■ seem to be reconciled, should not be considerably les-
sened, the results being increased profits for those
forcers, greater prosperity for the florist business in
general, and more friendly, sympathetic and mutually
advantageous relations bet\veen plantsmen of Holland
and the United States.

Well, well, well. We did get some snow after all;
some snow, indeed. About a minute after midnight,
Sunday morning, the flakes began to fall — then some-
body ripped the heavenly feather bed open all at once,
and within 13 hours more than 13 inches had fallen
and drifted. For a while the city and suburbs looked
like old times — those jolly (?) old times of Feb. 1931.
However, it cleared off mild instead of cold, the street
cleaning department got busy and had all of Sunday
in which to work unhindered by much traffic, and, in
addition, there was on hand a swarm of some 150
little caterpillar tractor snow plows that did yeoman
service. True, the Monday suburbanite train service
was somewhat demoralized and not a few business
people found themselves forced into a vacation lasting
from Saturday until Wednesday. But on the whole
thanks may still be given for a Winter of comparative,
yes superlative mildness.

Who'Desires Penn's Lantern Slides ?

During the St. Valentine's Day rush, Penn the Florist
of Boston received applications from two florists' asso-
ciations for the loan of the lantern slides as advertised in
our issue of Feb. 12. These letters, unfortunately be-
came mislaid; no record of their senders being made. If
the applicant referred to will write Mr. Penn, he
will be pleased to arrange delivery of the slides at an
early date.

Spraying in the Nursery

The importance of having a clean bill of health in a
nursery is recognized by many, especially those who
conduct an inter-State trade. Not only is it of utmost
importance to avoid supplying retail customers with
stock even slightly infested with insects or disease, but
it is equally important — perhaps more so — to keep a
nursery pest free, if a wholesale or landscape artist
business is sought. One order filled with infested stock
may be the means of giving a nursery an evil name that
will cling for all time.

The article on the nursery page deals exhaustively
with this highly important subject. Mr. Baxter shows
an intimate? knowledge of insect pests and diseases and
graphically describes many that a nurseryman should
beware of. We commend his remarks to all growers
of trees and shrubs.

The Classification of the Dahlia

This may apparently seem an easy task to, some, but
to those on the inner circle it has proven not to be so
easy. Dahlia variabilis, the forerunner of the common
or Show Dahlia, in the first breeding of its type, if
history of the Dahlia is correct, did not vary so much
in shape and form, but later, when Dahlia Juarezi was
introduced and grown, it soon broke into various col-
ors and shapes. By close study and selection we got
those beautiful forms of the so-called Cactus type.
Within more recent years other forms and shapes have
been produced, among them what are termed the Peony
and hybrid Cactus classes.

There is at the present time probably more discussion
regarding the classification of the different types of the
Dahlia than possibly any other flower in cultivation.
Some of the best authorities, growers and breeders, in-
cluding Prof. Safford of the Agricultural Department,
Washington, D. C, Prof. Fraser, Connecticut AgricuU
ural College, Storrs, and Prof. Norton of the Univer-
sitj' of Maryland have worked hard to devise a classi-
fication that would pass anywhere, but their work is not
finished, nor will it be possible to complete it for years
to come, as newer and strange forms are constantly
being produced and doubtless will be as long as the
interest in the Dahlias continues.

The term "hybrid" is rather a misnomer, but it has
gotten into common use in various catalogs, and a
number of advertisers use the term to distinguish the
diiferent varieties and we assume it will have to so
continue.

It has been suggested that the different types be
classified as follows : Cactus, true fluted type ; Cactus,
decorative type; Decorative, colossal or mammoth type;
Peonjs decorative ; Peony, Cactus shape ; Show or Ball
type ; Pompon ; Anemone ; Single ; Collarette, etc.

There is also a dwarf class and several other favor-
ites on the other side of the Atlantic. These are, at
present, in the minority, but no doubt as the interest
increases, they will come to the front.

The Nomenclature Committee of the American Dah-
lia Society, working on these problems, has been called
to meet at the Grand Central Palace, New York, March
16, and it is hoped they will be able to come to a de-
cision on certain of the points involved.

Richard Vincent, Jr.

is familiar with ordinary tanks as constructed for j
storage of rainwater. These tanks are an import i
asset to European growers, both commercial and i i
vate, who handle pot lines, but the tanks are not usui i
more than 6 ft. to 8ft. wide, running across the hou ;
and, if there is a series of houses, the tanks run throi ;
the lot. Houses of 150ft. usually contain three tai (
and, except in abnormal seasons, sufficient rains ; ij
to keep the tanks full. It may be said here that in i
such houses the watering is done by hand, being dip -
from the tanks by lads who keep the watering ha
supplied, and let us say that pot plant watering
can is infinitely safer than by hose. The value of n ■
water is of course an asset, while the temperature
water so stored is more suited to plants in the ho
than when drawn from outside tanks or from ws
mains. Rainwater or water exposed to the air
specially valuable for Ericas and such plants that
sensitive at the root, including Cyclamen and all fei
Under the circumstances, the grower who p
poses to store his water need have no apprehensioni.;
far as pot plants are concerned. Chrysanthemums, f
sumably grown on benches, would also appreciate
tanks, indeed, one might hazard that they will m
better growth during the Summer because of the atir
pheric moisture and the lower temperature, which wc
average at least five degrees below that in houses w
out tanks. The heat in the Winter would not be
fected to any extent. It would of course be a sin
matter to pump water through hose from the tanks.
Roses, on the other hand, may resent tanks in
houses and would probably develop an unusual amc
of mildew and black spot. Carnations, too, would pi
ably be in trouble during the dull Winter days, altho'
in the Summer, they would doubtless revel in the co{
conditions. All in all, storage tanks inside, offer
serious drawback, but considering the enormous amc:
of work the making of such tanks would entail, ii
just a question whether it would not be less co i,
to arrange for the non-freezing of the elevated ts j
unless it is feared that the supply pond may also In ^
solid or run dry at some time. The source of ;
pond supply is presumably a stream and therefore )
manent.

Water Storage in Greenhouses

On page 246 Jan. 29 reference was made to the pos-
sibility or otherwise of storing water in tanks inside
the houses. Owing to difficulty of water installation, it
was proposed to build concrete tanks covering almost
the entire floor space of the houses. These tanks were
to be filled from a pond. The writer has never
encountered houses fitted with tanks of such a size, but

The Concession of the F. H. B.

Views of a Practical Grower Who Knows Conditlil'
Here and Abroad

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

With a great deal of interest I read your editc i
(Feb. 12, page 358) on "The F. H. B. Concession.'

As soon as I received the notice of the F. H. 1
cabled to Boskoop in order to find out about the quant i
available of Azalea pontica and Rhododendron p< •
cum seedlings. A couple of days ago I received i
answer stating that Rhododendron seedlings are c i;
limited and that Azalea ponticas are extremely sc! .
I do not know the situation in other countries.

Undoubtedly, as you state, there will be a great i-
mand for stocks notwithstanding the fact that the bu J
will have to assume full responsibility for their an I
and their growing. The fact that they must be shi| 1
without soil is an unfortunate condition ; howeve ,1
do not think this will prevent the growers from or •
ing. They all will seize this opportunity to gain tiir i
producing an article for which there will be a very e r
market.

I do not think the concession of the F. H. B. I
reduce the price of the few Rhododendrons which e
in the market; in fact, there are practically none I :•
Neither ought the prospective buyer feel that in e
"near future" he will be able to plant his Rhododen «
beds. It will be many years before he will be abl o
buy plants, say 3ft. high ; plants which will make i t
show.

Are there sufficient grafts in this country? Th S
another question yet to be answered. Of course t e
are several plants on private estates which could si J
scions, but will others than favorites be able to cul *
grafts and how many are sufficiently familiar with thi i-
rieties of Rhododendron to know what they are cul I,
when there is no label attached to the plant?

I notice that the F. H. B. does not allow in .\ K
mollis stocks, the concession being restricted to A a
pontica; this means that we will not be able to |W
certain varieties of Azalea at all, or at least nc X
able to grow them right. P. M. KoST

Bridgeton, N. J.

As we understand the situation, Mr. Koster's last "o-
fence puts it mildly, to say the least. Azalea poi »i
if we are correctly informed, is not a stock for '■
ing Azaleas at all, but is used (except to a lii -'^
extent in Germany) only in propagating other <~
of Rhododendrons — it being, strictly speaking, R. lul |i>
In these circumstances the "concession" accompl jM
nothing as far as relieving the shortage of fi f^
Azaleas (A. mollis) which have been and are so po "T
but which are becoming so painfully rare.

/-greater insistence is this year to be placed on the
brvance of Rule 14, which directs that all plants ex-
ib;d for prizes or other awards must be plainly and
or'^y named, on cards to be supplied by the Bian-
gfient. Such labeling is considered to be most im-
oimt as furnishing one of the educational features
f he exhibition.

'lere is not now the slightest room for doubt as
5 :ie sirccess of the show, at least from an exhibition
tailpoint Unless something unforeseen happens, it
(i'be the largest and most handsome flower show yet
ta>d in the Palace, and this is what the committee
a:ill along been striving for. Conditions which had
0 e met last year were responsible for a seeming
mlness of the competitive section, but this year the
oinittee has not been called upon to face any difiicul-
ie not easily surmounted, and the various large ex-
its planned to form the bulk of the show are all
5 iiaterialize.

.wording to reports, there will be in attendance at
nfshow an unusually large number of out-of-town
ifibers of the trade, particularly from the Middle
Vt and West, among them some who will bring
xbits long distances.

'■ade tickets are ready for distribution, and will be
u ilied as follows : Where no less than 20 up to 100

$1,000,000 for a Garden!

Who s.iys the flori.st of today isn't a "big business"
man? Frederick W. Smythc, of the New York firm
of Wadlcy & Smythe, was recently awarded $5000 in
his action against Samuel Untcrmyer for the balance of
his commission in laying out Mr. Untermyer's gardens
in Yonkcrs, The total amount of the commission was
given as $lo8,000, the balance sought being $7800.

.•\ltogcther, according to Mr. Smythe's testimony, Mr.
Untcrmyer spent about a million dollars in his attempt
to create the "finest floral gardens in America." Twenty
thousand dollars were spent in England for Rhododen-
drons alone (this was before Qu. 37, of course), for
which Mr. Smythe, who went abroad to select them,
was to receive a 10 per cent commission. This sounds
like a lot to spend for one type of garden plant, but
of course, even in 1915, the cost of specimens might
range from $2.50 to $35 or $50 each, depending upon
the size and rarity. Nevertheless a million dollars is
a goodly sum to go into one garden full of plant prod-
ucts, vvhrefore may we florists take unto ourselves still
a little more pride in our profession and the material,
with which it deals.

John M. Good

We regret to learn of the death of John M. Good,
former mayor of Springfield, O., who died at his home
there, the morning of Feb. 16, at the age of 67. He
was widely known as a grower of Roses and was
president of the United States Nursery Co., of Rose-
acres, Miss., a concern handling Roses and Peonies on
a vast scale. We understand, too, that he was inti-
mately connected with the Good & Reese Co., of Spring-
field, O. He was a life member of the American Rose
Society.

John S. Nicholas

John S. Nicholas died at his home, 270 Riverside
Drive, New York City, on Wednesday morning, Feb.
16, at 3.30 o'clock. Mr. Nicholas had been in poor
health for several years but had, nevertheless, continued
to give attention to his large business interests as a
florist and fruiterer, and his death was unexpected.
He was born in Crete in 1854 and came to this country
in 1885. Tlirough his industry and business acumen
he became a prosperous retail florist, occupying for
many years the store at No. 37 E. 42d St. When the
Grand Central Terminal Station was finished he leased
the large main floor store in that building near its en-
trance on 42d St. and built up there a prosperous busi-
ness as florist and fruiterer, in which his sons were
associated with him.

■The funeral services were at his late residence on
Friday, Feb. 18, the interment being in Woodlawn
Cemetery. Mr. Nicholas is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Anna V. Nicholas, and two sons, Minoa, jf. and
."Kpollon Nicholas.

James C. Scargie

James Cruickshank Scargie, for over 40 years con-
nected with Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Mass.,
and for 25 years of that time superintendent, died Feb.
16, at St. Elizabeth Hospital, Brighton, where he re-
cently underwent an operation.

Born in Aberdeen, Scotland, in 1850, Mr. Scargie
came to Cambridge in 1873 and for some time filled a
position as draughtsman at Mount Auburn Cemetery
before becoming one of the foremen and later super-
intendent. This beautiful cemetery, the finest in New
England and with few equals or superiors in America,
was greatly enlarged and immensely improved under
Mr. Scargie's management.

The deceased gentleman was a keen horticulturist and
was one of those who challenged B. T. Galloway's state-
ment made in a lecture at Horticultural Hall over a year
ago that Quarantine 37 was going into force to stay in
force forever. He was a member of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, Horticultural Club of Boston,
Boston Scottish Society, Scottish Charitable Society,
American Society of Civil Engineers, Boston Society of
Civil Engineers, Massachusetts State Highway Associa-
tion, New England Association of Cemetery Superin-
tendents, American Association of Cemetery Superin-
tendents; also of the Masonic Grange and other orders,
also being much interested in the Unitarian Laymen's
League.

The deceased gentleman was highly esteemed and
will be much missed. He leaves a widow and three
daughters to mourn his loss. Ftmeral services were
held Feb. 18 and there was a large attendance of mourn-
ing friends and a wealth of floral tributes. Interment
was in Mount Auburn Cemetery. ' C. N. W.

Peter Reinberg

It is with regret that we announce the death of
Peter Reinberg, one of the pioneers of the florist in-
dustry in Chicago and the Middle West, the name of
Reinberg being associated with all that is good in flori-
culture from one end of this country to the other. The
deceased was in splendid health up to a few days ago,
having returned from a pleasure trip to Florida about
ten days previously. His friends were therefore ill
prepared to learn of his sudden death of cerebral
hemorrhage, on Monday morning, Feb. 31, at his home,
5643 Sheridan rd. The body lay in state in the city
hall on Wednesday.

Mr. Reinberg was looked upon by friends and poli-
ticians alike as a man who worked hard for every
dollar he ever possessed. In public ofike as well as in
business he was faithful to his duty. There was rarely
a day when, during working hours, he could not be
found at his desk in the county board rooms; yet be-
fore arriving there, he had started off his day's business
at his greenhouses and wholesale cut flower shop, 30
E. Randolph st.

Mr. Reinberg was born in 1858 and as a boy worked
on his father's truck farm and hauled his vegetables to
market.

Later the truck garden was turned over to the floral
business and 25 acres of the farm were covered with
greenhouses. Mr. Reinberg followed the floral business
for several years, specializing in Roses and Carnations,
but handling all kinds of stock. As a wholesaler he
amassed a fortune. He had been active dn politics for
many years, was first elected to the city council in 1894,
and was re-elected in 1904 serving until 1912. He was
appointed president of the board of education in 1913
and served for two years, and had been president of the
county board since 1914. He was also Chief of the
Forest Preserve of Cook County.

He was director of the Rav nswood National Bank
and of the Lincoln Trust Company. He was a member
of the Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Order of
Foresters, the Chicago Florists Club and the S. A. F.

He leaves a widow, Mary Reinberg, and an adopted
son, Charles, 15 years old.

Report Meeting S. A. F. and 0. H. Ex. Board

{Concluded from page 465)
first class hotel, about fifteen minutes away from the
Willard, which could house the trade exhibition, the
meetings, and the president's reception all under one
roof, and there was a large lawn in front upon which
tents could be erected to cover any exhibit which could
not be taken into the building. There were about 5000
rooms in the hotel, each an outside room, and probably
600 to 1000 convention visitors could be accommodated.
The hall in which the exhibition could be held was 60ft.
■wide and 400ft. long. Another building available was
the Emery Building, known as the Census Office; and a
third was Convention Hall, at 5th and Case sts. ; he
would like a committee to visit all three. Mr. Ammann
moved that a committee of three be appointed to inves-
tigate the different propositions to report back to the
board next morning.

The motion was seconded and carried, and Messrs.
Ammann, Asmus and Young were appointed the com-
mittee. Messrs. Asmus and Ammann were also ap-
pointed a committee to appear with Mr. Gude before
the Ways and Means Committee.

On motion, a committee of three was ordered to be
appointed to consider rates of space, program, etc. The
board then went into a discussion as to what the pro-
gram should cover. Although objection had been raised
to long addresses, President Roland declared that the
convention in Cleveland had been made interesting very
largely by the speakers, whose topics were of interest to
all. In this opinion he was joined by others, although
it was suggested that speaking on business topics be
restricted to daytime sessions.

Mr. Kohout said that at the last meeting of the
Flower Growers Association of Chicago, it was re-
solved to request that the S. A. F. and O. H. bar arti-
ficial flowers from its trade exhibitions — artificial flowers
of paper, wa.x or wood, not prepared foliage. Secretary
Young stated that the same question was brought before
the Minneapolis Convention where it was beaten. It
was a matter which had to come before the convention
for ruling. Such flowers are barred from National
flower shows, but it was considered that they were quite
in order in a trade exhibition.

National Flower Growers' Association

The chair called for a report from Mr. Ammann as
secretary of this association, but he had no written
report, and simply reported progress. He hoped that in
the near future the organization might prove to be of
great benefit to the society.

Cooperation with the Ladies' S. A. F.

The secretary read a courteous letter from Mrs.
George Asmus, president of the Ladies S. A. F., re-
questing closer cooperation at the conventions. She
pointed out the fact that her organization made it their
aim to take care of all lady visitors at the annual gath-
erings, which was considered to be quite an imder-
taking. The organization, the letter stated, would not
ask for any unreasonable expense, but would suggest
that a little be said about it and its objects in the mail
that so often goes to S. A. F. members. After a short
discussion, which was quite complimentary to the ladies,
the letter, with a recommendation covering an appropria-
tion to the Ladies S. A. F., was, on motion of Secre-
tary Young, referred to the Finance and Audit Com-
mittee.

The plan in regard to collections presented at the
Cleveland Convention by the United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Co., and referred to the Executive Board was
presented by the secretary and, on motion of Mr. Hill,
was referred to the Finance and Audit Committee.

Secretary Yoimg presented a plan for florists' en-
dowment insurance which Charles Henry Fox of Phila-
delphia had prepared for submission to the Publicity
Committee, and which he had laid before them at their
meeting. The plan was an elaboration of the plan
which Mr. Fox had previously presented, a synopsis of
which appeared in the trade papers. The matter was,
on motion of Mr. Joy, ordered to be laid over until a
more favorable date.

A communication to the secretary from A. T. De La
Mare of New York, was submitted, suggesting the
adoption, at the next convntion, of a system of regis-
tration of visitors which he described. On motion of
W. F. Gude, the communication was referred to the
Program Committee.

The secretary referred to correspondence had some
time ago with the Leo Niessen Co. of Philadelphia in
regard to certain shortcomings in express service, and
which led to W. F. Gude as Washington representative,
taking up the matter with the vice-president of the
-American Railway E.xpress Co., who attributed the
troubles complained of to conditions of congestion
which was largely due to the lack of express cars, and
expressed the view that the society might expect to
hear further in the matter. The Niessen Co. had re-
cently complained that the same or worse conditions

still existed ; the express service was now equivalent
only to the fast freight service of a few years ago.
In a short discussion wherein several members of the
board gave experiences in regard to express service,
Mr. Gude stated that a new ruling was to go into effect
on Feb. 4, putting in the first class all express ship-
ments of nursery stock. No relief in express condi-
tions could be e.xpected, he said, until the Interstate
Commerce Commission had fully readjusted the service.

A letter from A. F. J. Baur, secretary of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society, was read in regard to a request
made by him that the board appoint a committee to
make awards to meritorious new varieties of various
plants, such awards not being provided for in the by-
laws specifically. Mr. Johnson made a verbal state-
ment in support of the request, and the board seemed
in favor of the suggestion. Mr. Asmus explained that
the awarding of merits was, under the by-laws, in the
hands of the National Flower Show Committee, and
that committee could recommend the medals if it were
possible to have some committee pass upon the sub-
jects. If the matter were referred to that committee,
he said, some plan might be worked out Avhereby plants
offered could be judged. Mr, Johnson then moved, sec-
onded by -Mr. Hagenburger, that the matter be referred
to the National Flower Show Committee with power
to act, and the motion was carried.

The meeting then went into a discussion which was
largely confined to the bringing out of the views of
members of the board present through the affiliation
with the society of the organizations they represented.
A good deal of information was evolved from the dis-
cussion, and the speakers were most earnest in their
sentiments respecting the value of cooperation.

A Membership Drive

There was an extended discussion of the membership
problem. It was the opinion of all present that some
special effort should be , made to increase the member-
ship and many suggestions were made. President Ro-
land suggested an effort on the part of the present
membership, and instanced how such an effort had been
made a success in a business organization he wai coii-
nected with. "It would be very simple," he said, "if
you do your part. No campaign, no drive, no big meet-
ings; none of the methods you are all so tired of. Just
one big push on the part of the whole membership
directed by a membership committee. You surely know
just one business man who is not a member and who
ought to be a member. It is a personal direct appeal,
and I believe we could double our membership by ne.xt
August."

Mr. Asmus suggested that by way of a start, that
every director, both elected and affiliated, assume the
responsibility of bringing in at least ten new members.

The suggestion was adopted, and, immediately 343
new annual members and five life iriembers were
pledged. Mr. Hill then moved that a membership
committee of five be appointed, with power to add to
their number, to induce each member of the society to
get one new member by next August. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Klingsporn and carried unanimously.

Report of National Flower Show Committee

Chairman George Asmus of the National Flower
Show Committee presented a report from his com-
mittee. This will be printed later.

Special S. A. F, Meeting (or Cleveland

The report was, on motion of W. F. Gude, accepted
and approved. In the course of a discussion which
folowed, Mr. Knoble reported that the building in
Cleveland which was to house the show would be com-
pleted by Oct. 1 next, and its use for the purpose was
assured, as far as anything could be assured. He
urged that everybody cooperate to make the show a
success, and promised whole-souled cooperation on the
part of the Cleveland interests. Wallace R. Pierson.
Cromwell, Conn,, who by unanimous consent of the
board was seated as taking the place of Mr. Pyle, who
was called away, and representing the American Rose
Society said that he personally, and as chairman of the
Committee on Commercial Cut Flower Interests of the
A. R. S., was going to work his head off to put a Rose
Show in Cleveland that no member of the society could
be ashamed of.

Mr. Ammann moved, seconded by W. F. Gude, that
the board recommend to the August convention that a
special meeting of the society be held in connection
with the National Flower Show in Cleveland in the
Spring of 1933, and the motion was carried unani-
mously.

.Adjournment was then taken until 7.30 p.m.

THIRD SESSION— Monday Evening

A letter from Roy F. Wilcox & Co,, Monticello,
Calif., was read, in which the question was asked
whether the society was represented at any of the hear-
ings held by the Interstate Commerce Commission, in
regard to a proposed increase in the express classifica-

tion rates on nursery stock. On motion of Mr. '
mann, who said that he believed W. F. Gude ha
matter well in hand, the letter was referred t(
Committee on Tariff and Legislation.

Report of Publicity Committee

Chairman Henry Penn of the Publicity Comr ;
made a report which will be printed later.

Mr, Ammann's report of the Publicity Comi ,
has already been published in the trade papers.

The report and plan was, on motion of Mr. Ki
seconded by Mr. Hendrickson, adopted as read ai
discussion which lasted over three hours and was
ticipated in by practically everyone present. Cons'i
tion of details was augmented by experience. J
O'Keefe, of the P. F. O'Keefe Advertising Agencm
was present by invitation, made the closing am
and in summing up the discussion declared that I
opinion that night was epoch-making. "There
question," he said, "but what the 36 or more men 9
room are going out to different sections of the cq
spreading this propaganda."

Committee on Final Resolutions e

Secretary Young announced the appointmencj
committee on final resolutions, as follows : J. KJ
mann, Carl Hagenburger, A, Rasmussen, Henry «
and I. S. Hendrickson. J

FOURTH SESSION — Tuesday, Jan. 25

The fourth session opened promptly at 10.30 ,;
and President Roland called for the report c l
committee on convention hall. W. F. Gude, ft h
committee reported that the Wardman Park In n
Convention Hall had been visited, and it was r i
mended that Convention Hall was best suited fo' !i
poses of the trade exhibition. It was well lighte a
practically the same si^e as the Coliseum in Ct ,i
so should be ample for the purpose. The lo- )i

Secretary Young said that while Wardman Par a
was a wonderful place, certain conditions, whi i
mentioned, would make it undesirable for conv o
and trade exhibition purposes. The Emerj' Bi a
could not be examined. The committee could n ,1
terms for rental of Convention Hall, but expected Ji
them later in the day.

For the Tariff and Legislative Committee, Ch< i
Gude reported the appearance of the special com a
before the Ways and Means Committee that mc a(
but foimd that owing to conditions, they woulc \'^
to face, it was feasible to carry out the instruct]'

j Florists' Opportunities in Florida

(the letter of Mr. Pierce on page 339 of The Ex-
JNGE for Feb. 12 about "Florists' Opportunities in
fl'ida," has been read by us with much interest as
VI as the editorial criticisms appended thereto. As
h^ largest grower of ornamental nursery stock in the
5i e and one of the largest in the entire South, we
e justified in calling your attention to several points
nhe letter needing clarification.

r| Flame Flower

irst, as to Bignonia radicans — this is a deciduous
'i:, dormant in January and not in bloom at this
a on. The only vine answering to any such descrip-
i^ as Mr. Pierce gives is the Pyrostegia venusta (old
i^ce Bignonia venusta), an evergreen, tropical vine
k1 at all resembling the old Trumpet Creeper. The
jtlular name for the Pyrostegia is Flame Vine and
ny does it deserve this emphatic comparison, for the
lilit of a porch or large area on a building covered
VI an almost solid mass of flaring orange color is
ii'gestive of a building in flames. As to its running
iC:. — it will run three times that easily, and not be
Jijof breath either. To give you an idea of the flowers,
ff' are sending you a little bunch of them. It seems
il: a little odd to us — perhaps because we are so fa-
iiiar with conditions here ourselves — but anyway it
iens a little odd that a florist could spend two Winters
nshe State and not know something of the cultural
pcsibilities of so common a vine as the Pyrostegia.
W grow it in quantity, selling several thousand strong
p' plants annually.

Vitill Greater Marvel

■■ut Pyrostegia venusta is not by any means the most
r(ust and floriferous vine in the world, though we
S e it all the credit it deserves. Mr. Pierce should
vlt this place about this season of the year and see
iiine that makes all who see it go into ecstatic rap-
tVes (This is not overstated!) when they see it — a huge
V|2 of the Bougainvillea rosa catalina. This is not
P pie, but deep rose pink, and a solid mass of bloom,

resembling more a marvelous bouquet than anything we
can think of. B. lateritia, brick red; Crimson Lake,
crimson, and the other wonderful shades, are also grown
here. One who knows only the coiranon purple B. glabra
Sanderiana knows little of Bougainvilleas.

Azaleas and Poinsettiat

Azaleas do wonderfully well here in Florida on the
right soil, perhaps we might better say if not on the
wrong soil. They want soil well supplied with humus,
plenty of available moisture, and, of course, of rather
acid nature. On such soils with a little shade, as
throughout the hummocks along our central Florida
lakes and other sections where similar conditions are
available, they are a dream of beauty when in full
flower.

The double Poinsettia to which Mr. Pierce refers is
indeed a reality and a very striking one at that. It
is as Mr. Pierce describes it, and well worth extended
growing. We have been handling it for very many
years, having sold some to the trade — just why it has
not been pushed more is a matter for conjecture, as it
grows easily with us here and makes a wonderful dis-
play.

One of the D!rt FloriaU

If we understand the next to the last paragraph of Mr.
Pierce's letter, we are astonished that he is apparently
not familiar with this establishment, after spending
two Winters in Florida. For some one who would study
the habits of trees and vines and bushes and their pecu-
liar value for decorative and landscape use we thought
this firm filled that need — if it fails to do so, we are
frankly discouraged. In business since 1883, right here
in South Florida, we have developed not only a large
establishment, considering the comparatively limited field
in this country for strictly tropical and sub-tropical
plants and the comparatively recent development of the
State, but have been importing large numbers of rare
and valuable plants, bringing them from the nooks and
crannies of all quarters of the tropical and sub-tropical
world. Comparatively few people realize the extent of
our work of introduction of exotic material but if all
the subjects we first brought into this country were wiped
out of the State, Florida would be very different looking
from what it is now.

We have an international reputation and ship to all
quarters of the globe with negligible loss in plants.
While the development of landscape art in the State is
naturally slow, it is increasing rapidly, perhaps due to
the influence of this business and its landscape depart-
ment. This is in no sense an effort to over-rate
the value of our business, but we are a little nonplussed
to think that the work we have done for the horticulture
of the State is still so little understood that an old time
florist should not have dug us out after two seasons in
the State ; probably the fault is our own.

A Word of Advice

However, we do not wish to discourage anyone com-
ing to Florida to try their hand — the more the merrier.
We want all tlie good growers to come that the business
of the State will warrant. But we wish to say just this —
GO SLOW 1 There is a lot to learn about this tropical
game — the fellow who thinks he is coming in to make
a big sweepstakes event has it to learn, too. We know
from nearly 40 years' experience here and we have
grown right up with it. For a newcomer to attempt it
on any considerable scale — well, our advice is, GO
SLOW. He can speed up a little after he has gained
some of the good hard lessons that are bound to be
coming his way. There have been some good men in
this Florida ornamental game, and if they are not ex-
actly "conspicuous by their absence," they are still most
of them going it a little slow. A mighty good maxiin
to remember is ; "All is hot gold that glitters" !

Having relieved our chest to this extent, we wish
to extend our heartiest greetings and good wishes to
any and all members of the trade — or those out of it —
who may be coming this way. We want to meet them,
to encourage the idea of their coming to this wonderful
State, to show them our little old outfit here, and pos-
sibly to offer a suggestion or two that may or may not
be worth much. Wm. A. Cook.

Oneco, Fla. For Reasoner Bros.

these resolulioii.s had the approval of E. H. Wilson, who
was also in London at that time.

The ruling of the Board at Washington practically ex-
cludes the entry of soft wooded plants by insisting that
no soil can be allowed on the roots of incoming stock,
which absolutely shuts out Heliotropes, Geraniums and
other plants of like character into our country alive. A
modification of this rule should be granted.

The insistence of the Bureau in demanding the name
and every minute particular regarding a new Rose ; for
instance, its origin, where and when, name of originator
and disseminator, exactly why the would be importer
wants it, looks like a lot of red tape, and, to most people,
unnecessary from any point of view.

Arbitrary decisions as to fumigating incoming ship-
ments of Manetti when everything points to a clean bill
of health, causing delay and expense which might be
avoided, are not taken kindly by importers.

However, if you will refer to my remarks made at
the S. A. F. meeting, as reported on page 462, Aug. 28, I
think you will decide that I have not radically changed
my mind on Qu. 37

The resolutions referred to by Mr. Hill follow :

No. 1. — That restrictions regarding the importation of new
plants, and plants imported for the purpose of propa-
gation only, be permitted to be examined at port of entry,
so that they may be handled immediately by the im-
porter while they are still alive, in order that American
hortieulture may be kept abreast of other nations. Since
the importer signs a 'bond guaranteeing hia eompliance
with any regulation the F. H. B. may suggest, it would
be only fair that in the case of soft wooded and delicate
plants a reasonable amount of soil be permitted on the
roots, as otherwise it is no use attempting to keep
America uptodate, and many valuable and rare plants will
be lost to American horticulture.

No. 2. — We further suggest that extreme care be take'n
regarding fumigation in the case of soft wooded plants
so that their life may not be endangered.

No. 3. — We further suggest that if these suggestions
be carried out entry of new plants shall be made at the
following ports: New York, Boston, - Seattle and San
Franeiseo, so that East and West may be equally pro-
vided for.

At the S. A. F. Convention held at Cleveland, Aug.
17 to 19, 1920, Mr. Hill, as one of the committee on "The
Development of American Products," was reported as
follows: "Acknowledging its failure (that of Qu. 37)
in some respects, he nevertheless called attention to its
stimulating effect upon the profession in this country
and emphasized the fact that the oldtime conditions of
cheap labor abroad as well as here have gone never to
return, so that it is useless to think of importing bulbs
or anything else at the low prices of a dozen years ago.

"Recalling his opposition to a rather general senti-
ment against the quarantine order last year — for which
he remarked he had received 'a good many combings down
in various sections of the country,' he reiterated the
thought that so long as the ruling stands as an expression
of the wishes of the majority, the florists and nurserymen
as the minority of the agricultural interests, will graci-
ously yield a point."

[Mr. Hill, it will be noted, used the term "agricultural"
interests, thereby inferring his disposition to put up
with Qu. 37 on behalf of the interests of the agricultur-
ist, they being apparently in his estimation the most likely
to be benefited through the operations of this quarantine.

E. G. Hill on Quarantine No. 37

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

It appears that the impression has gotten abroad that
I have had a radical change of mind in regard to the
enforcement of Qu. 73. In the main, I think Qu. 37
has had a most stimulating effect upon the plantsmen
in the United States, for we find determined effort now
being made to grow and produce varieties of plants
which have hitherto been groAvn only in foreign lands.

I enclose resolutions passed by the Society of Ameri-
can Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists at the
August (1920) meeting, and which were drawn by C. H.
Totty and myself while in in London ; the substance of

In Case of a Shortage, What Then ?

The question is asked us : Should it be proved on in-
vestigation that seedlings of Rhododendron ponticum
and Azalea pontica, permission to import which has just
been granted by the F. H. B. until June 1, 1922, are
not obtainable to the extent of the demand made for
them on this side, will the F. H. B. make due allowance
for this condition of scarcity and extend the period in
which they may be imported? There is strong likelihood
of their being a shortage as the Holland growers had
undoubtedly understood that no more sales were to be
looked for on this side, hence, without much doubt have
grown but sufficient stocks for their own immediate
use and to fill those orders which may come to them from
outside of this country.

To this inquiry we advise patience at least until the
fact of a shortage has been demonstrated.

Pyrostegia Venusta

From Reasoner Bros., Oneco., Fla., comes a spray of the
gorgeous "Flameflower," regarding which a note ap-
peared on page 399, Feb. 19. and also in the preceding
issue. The truss contains no less than 40 pendulous tubu-
lar flowers, and one may readily imagine that a vine
some 70ft. or more in height, rambling over trees or
houses, is a most wonderful sight. The form of the
flower makes it readily distinguishable from Bignonia
radicans. Florida is indeed favored in having such
flowers in mid-Winter,

Lilies from Seed

Seeing is Believing

Commercial growers are naturally conservative; any-
thing savoring of the unorthodox is apt to make them
express scepticism. When it first became known that
experiments in Lily raising from seed were being car-
ried out at Washington, few in the trade were pre-
pared to believe that it possessed any commercial value
beyond the possibilities of producing new hybrids. Even
details and illustrations provided by Prof. E. A. White
as published in The Exchange July 12, 1919, did not
arouse any great desire among florists to experiment.
Dr. David Griffiths of the Bureau of Plant Industry,
Washington, is largely responsible for the work that has
been carried on at Washington and, in our issue March
20, 1920, he explained the method of raising and cul-
tivating, supplementing his remarks with an illustration
of plants in bud which were raised from seed sown
Jan. 1919; planted in the field in May; lifted in Nov.
and photographed March 10, 1920 ; exactly fifteen months
after sowing. We are in receipt from Dr. Griffiths of
three full length stems of Lilies, accompanied by the
following letter:

We are sending you today a box of three cut Lilies.
These are the tail end of a batch taken out of the field
in October with stems a foot high. I say "tail end"
because it is the last of this batch and from now on,
for the next two weeks, we will have little or no blossom
because the next batch were rosettes when they were
taken out of the field and they will not open for a couple
of weeks. The plants sent you are small-flowered forms,
but the number of flowers is very satisfactory. I am not
altogether certain but a large number of smaller flowers
would make even a more desirable Easter Lily.

These plants are from our 1920-21 progeny. The
seed was sown Nov., 1919; transferred to the fiield the
first of May 1930, repotted from the field in Oct. 1920,
and are now in blossom. The first plants began to

Spraying in the Nursery

(Continued from page 481)
The Oyster Scale and Others

In the oyster shell scale (Lepidasaphes ulmi) we have
another familiar pest in the nursery which makes short
work of Lilacs. Poplar, Elm, fruit trees, Box bush.
Willows, Ash and numerous other host plants. Un-
like the San Jose scale, it does not give birth con-
tinuously, nor to the living young, but if you will
raise the oyster shell like covering now, you will find
many pearly white eggs, too numerous to be clearly dis-
cernable to the naked eye. These eggs hatch about the
middle of May, there being one brood, except in the
South. To watch for this hatching and spray before
the young have an opportunity to assimie their protective
wax like shell covering gives best results in spraying.
Although not generally regarded as vicious as the San
Jose scale, oyster shell scale has been observed by the
. writer to kill plants ia less time, so voraciously do the
minute young go about covering the stems and sucking
the sap. Beware of it ! We might here insert that the
scurfy scale chionaspis furfitrus of fruit trees, Crataegus,
etc., although not so troublesome, has a similar life cycle,
but the eggs are a beautiful red-purple. Examine it under
a glass if you have an opportunity. So much, then, for
the need and value of knowing your pest for, aside
from giving you a knowledge to better combat it, the
study is indeed fascinating and leads to pleasant diver-
sions in insect lore. When in doubt, consult local en-
tomologists ; your State experiment station or the United
States Department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C.
The latter can usually provide instructive bulletins and
give helpful advice. New York State has issued some
splendid bulletins with colored plates of insects.

Exclusive of those above referred to, let us dwell
briefly on the common pests that we are likely to en-
counter in the nursery and methods of controlling them.
While the scales — so named because of the armor like
covering which protects their body — are still in mind,
we might add the Rose scale Aulacaspis rosa, which
infests Rose bushes and resembled the scurfy scale.

A Menace to the Golden Oak

The Golden Oak or pit making scale Asterolecanium
variolosum, is a troublesorrie enemy of late and while
formerly content on destroying the English Oak, es-
pecially the golden leaved variety, Quercus robur Con-
cordia, it now is taking a liking to our native Oaks. Look
for it on old White Oaks which show signs of failing.
This scale is less than the size of a pin head, waxy,
golden yellow and slightly imbedded in the yoimg
growth. Kermes is another genus of scale found on
Oak, K. andreii and K. pubescens, being especially in-
jurious to White Oak; K. galliformis favors the Red
Oak. Little has been written of Kermes for circulating
purposes, but nurserymen will do well to look for it on

Red Oak. Its gall-like glazed, reddish brown, brittle
shelled, about one-eighth to one-quarter inch, attached to
new growth around or near the buds are easily dis-
cernable at this season and are evidence of the presence
of this pest. Government authorities recommend a 7
per cent solution of a standard miscible oil, sprayed
just before buds begin to open. Lime-sulphur now
would doubtless give results.
You Find It on the EuonyBaus

The familiar Euonymus scale, Chionaspis Euonymi,
is a close relative of the scurfy scale, C. furfurus, al-
ready referred to and it is almost impossible to grow
Euonymus, either deciduous or evergreen, without it,
unless plants are sprayed. The Staff Vine, Celastris
scandens, is also a favorite host plant of this pest, which,
by the way, starts to hatch about the end of May. In
Lecanium tulipiferce or Tulip tree scale, we have a
very conspicuous pest — the females being the size of shoe
buttons — of the Tulip tree. Poplar and, less severely
attacked. Magnolias. A smaller relative is L. nigrofas-
ciatum or terrapin scale, which is partial to Silver and
Red Maples; lately I have seen much of it on Oriental
Planes. Not unlike in outward appearance of these
shell coverings, is the Cottony Maple scales, Pulvinaria
intimerabilis and acericola, tiie covering of which at
hatching time raises at one end exuding a marshmallow-
like, waxy mass from which the young step out and
proceed to attach themselves to Maple leaves. A
troublesome pest of the Sugar Maple is the woolly Maple
bark louse, Phenococcus aceris, the flocculent white waxy
particles of which, collecting in the crevices of the trunk,
give, in severe cases, the appearance of streaked white-
wash. They also cover the imder side of the leaves.
A Common Elm Pest

As a common Elm pest, we have the Elm scale Grossy-
paria ulmi, which resembles small flakes of oatmeal with
a white margin and that defoliator, the Elm leaf beetle,
Galerucella luteola, and also a form of woolly aphis that
congregates in crotches of young growth and on wounds,
there to cause a cancerous growth which, in time, as-
sumes the size of galls. A similar woolly aphid, Schiso-
neura imbricator, though leaving less signs of disfigure-
ment, infests Beech leaves and growing shoots. Spray-
ing with any of the contact insecticides is recommended.

Some of the Worms

The Catalpas have a ravenous enemy in the Catalpa
sphinx, Ceratomia catalpa, which come along about the
latter part of June and, in a few days, gorge themselves
with all the luxuriant foliage of a nice block of
Catalpa Bungei or speciosa and then disappear as if by
magic. Their hiding place is the ground where they
go to pupate. If you see them start on their feast
use Paris green, adding lime to prevent burning, or Helle-
bore on tihe foliage and they'll writhe and fall in pain
after partaking of the spread. If you caimot watch for

them and must prepare the meal in advance, arse
of lead (about 3 to 5 lbs. to SO gals, of water
better, in that it adheres to foliage longer. From Jun
to July 6 is feeding time around Philadelphia for
black and yellow worm over two inches long, accor
to the writer's experience.

If you see a white worm, about one and a
inches long, with a row of lavender spots on each
and a black stripe down the back, headiag for ;
Willows about July 10, you can probably
dress it as the Willow sawfly, Cimbex an
cana. One ounce of white Hellebore to a gallon of w.
or dusting with undiluted powder, will save your Wi
foliage. {To be continued)

Fruit and Vegetable Quarantine No. 49 1

E. T. Meredith, Secretary of Agricultm-e, has is:
Quarantine No. 49 with regulations, effective on
after April 1, 1921, which regulations it is decl;
have become necessary in order to prevent the it
duction of the citrus black fly (Alourocanthus i
lumi Ashby) into the United States. In effect,
importation or entry into the United States from C
the Bahamas, Jamaica, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, Ii
Philippine Islands, Ceylon and Jarva, of fruits and v
tables in the raw or unprocessed state, and of pi
or portions of plants used as packing material in
nection with shipments of such fruits and vegeta
or otherwise except as provided in the rules and n
lations supplemental to Qu. 49 is prohibited,
quarantine will cover fruits and v^etables, particul '
the edible, more or less succulent portions of I
plants in the raw or unprocessed state ; such as Bana
Oranges, Grapefruits, Pineapples, Tomatoes, Pep i
or Lettuce.

Leaves, twigs or other portions of plants or p
litter or rubbish, as distinguished from clean fruits I
vegetables or other commercial articles, is absoli* '
prohibited entry. Qean fruits and vegetables o '
than those subject to special quarantines, may be •
ported from the countries and localities named in i
quarantine under permit upon compliance with t :
regulations. The importation of processed fruits I
vegetables remains unrestricted.

The industries we cover will not, we take it, be '
ticularly interested in Qu. 49 except as to note that •
department is pursuing its aims of restricting '
more carefully examining imports of fruits and v ■
tables as well as plants, liable to bring insect disc s
into the United States.

The new quarantine will, in all likelihood, howe '■
increase the price particularly of Bananas, hitherto J
poor man's luxury; quite likely, also. Pineapples »
possibly Grapefruits. Tomatoes, Peppers and Let '
we should certainly be able to raise here without t «
being any necessity for their importation.

Boston Gardeners and
Floriste' Club

Carnation Night

There waa a larpie and enthusiastic at-
tendance at the club meeting, Feb. 15,
about 125 members being present. Car-
nation night never fails to draw a crowd
at Boston club gatherings, and the ex-
hibits of the divine flower are probably
not equalled at any other club gathering
in the oountr.v.

The Banquet Committee reported all
bills paid and a small balance on hand,
which was voted placed in the entertain-
ment fund and the cormnittee received a
vote of thanks for the efficient manner
in which it performed its duties. An-
nouncement was made of the field day to
be held with William Sim. Cliftondale,
on Feb 18 and a large attendance was
urged. The club voted enthusiastically in
favor of a bill soon to come before the
legislature. _ which will impose heavy
fines and prison sentences on auto thieves
stealing fruits, vegetables and other prod-
ucts, with forfeiting of auto licenses and
an impossibility of getting renewals for
five years.

No less than 17 new members were
voted in; the largest addition for some
years. A. K. Reger spoke on the late
series of agricultural meetings held in
which the club was a participant, and
stated that the success of the gatherings
would probably necessitate hiring Me-
chanics Building another year. The mem-
bers voted in favor of continued cooper-
ation.

Tlie Presidential Epidemic

President Judd spoke of the fact
that Boston now had several presidents
of national and New England horticul-
tural bodies, and suggested that some big
get-together meeting might be held in
their honor. After some remarks of E
J. Farrington, W. J. Kennedy and others.
It was voted to have the secretary take
the matter up with various other organ-
izations in Boston and see if some con-
certed action could not be arranged for,
during the Spring show week.

The Exhibits

There was a splendid lot of exhibits on
the tables reaching across the hall; they
were as follows;

From W. D. Howard, Milford, Mass.,
superb vases of Ethel Fisher, Eureka,
Cottage Maid, Mrs. C. W. Ward, Bemice,
Pmk Delight and Ruth Baur; awarded
a cultural report of merit.

Patten & Co., had a grand vase of
Thomas C. Joy, awarded a report of merit.
S. J. Goddard said if such flowers had
been shown at Washington, White Delight
would have been beaten. Mr. Patten said
•Toy was a very free bloomer; everyone
present admired this variety.

James Donald had a fine vase of Laddie
and James Methven received honorable
mention for Matchless from two year old
cut back plants.

Wallace Bagshaw had excellent vases
of Alice and Enchantress Supreme. Ed-
ward Winkler showed fine vases of Mom-
mg Glow and Peter Ball, the latter re-
ceiving honorable mention.

S. J. Goddard had a magnificent high
vase of Laddie, artistically arranged,
which adorned the president's table. He
also had The Lark and Happy Day, each
awarded reports of merit. Seedling 141
was given honorable mention, the same
award going to a fine vase of new Domer
seedlings. Rosalia was also shown in fine
form.

Paul F. Brigham of Westboro, showed
Barbara in excellent condition, and was
awarded honorable mention. Mrs. Betty
K. Fair had a table of her new seedling
Begonia; the plants were from December
cuttings for Christmas and bedding pur-
poses. They should prove a very useful
variety.

Robert Dougherty had two fine vases of
Sweet Peas; W. N. Craig, fine Silver Spur
Narcissi and Flamingo Tulips and Thomas
W. Little, Schizanthus.

W. D. Howard on Sterilization

W. D. Howard, the first speaker of
the evening, received a warm welcome as
president of the American Carnation So-
ciety. He spoke on Sterilization of the
Soil, and claimed that while this would
not make old soil as good as new, it would
decidedly improve it. The soil, before
steam was turned on, should be in a

proper condition us rogaids moisture.
What would bo right for planting stock
was ideal and must be well loosened up.
Pans on raised benches were much super-
ior to pipes, and 25 to :iO minutes was
long enoiigh to treat the soil. He used
pans a little narrower than the benches.
A prominent Tomato specialist of his ac-
quaintance said if he could not sterilize,
he would need to drop Tomato culture
entirely. He could note a striking dif-
ference in the quality of the Carnations
in old soil, whore part had been sterilized
and part not treated at all. Mr. Howard
urged everyone to support the Hartford
convention and make it a grand success.
Impressions ot Washington

S. J. Goddard, scheduled to speak
on Impressions of the Washington Con-
vention, said his best impression was of
a party of nineteen, who left Boston on
a certain train for said convention and
things generally had come their way.

He said there had been a great advance
in varieties and thought New England
was supreme when it came to Carnation
culture. He referred incidentally to some
criticism made of the way flowers had
been staged at Washington, and said that
the Carnation society, as a purely trade
body, preferred to stage the flowers as
seen at Washington; all they cared for
was the opinion of the growers and men
in the trade. At regular flower shows,
he agreed artistic arrangement should be
made more of. He also urged a large
attendance at the Hartford Convention
and support for the New England Flower
Growers' Ass'n.

The Favorites at Cliftondale

William Sim, the third speaker,
discussed varieties as he had proved them
at Cliftondale. He grew three white.
Matchless, White Benora and White De-
light, but prferred the last named as be-
ing an early and constant Winter bloomer
and better than Matchless. White Benora
was fine but not free enough. In pinks.
Laddie, of which he grew 15,000, was un-
beatable and gave few splits; he found
it very free. Pink Delight was a steady
Winter bloomer. Ruth Baur and Supreme
would both be dropped. Morning Glow,
he considered the most profitable variety
ever introduced.

^ Ward was _ the best among medium
pinks but splits were many, and it was
not free. Rosette with him was far su-
perior to Rosalia among dark pinks.
Coming to scarlets, he had four varieties.
Aviator was the best and very free.
Belle Washburn was a more fancy flower
but was slow and did not bloom as freely
as Laddie. Ethel Fisher was fair with
him and the Herald, while a steady
bloomer, was too single. He would much
reduce his planting of scarlets next season.
Crimsons he would cut out entirely. Next
season he would plant Maine Sunshine as
a yellow. Benora was still the best varie-
gated, although he had some good seed-
lings of his own under trial.

Asked whether White Delight was diffi-
cult of propagation, Mr. Sim said that
out of 35,000 cuttings in one batch, not
over 500 failed to root. Laddie pro-
duced as much to the square foot as any
variety. Some plants gave 13 flowers
each. With some varieties like Laddie
and Matchless, late pinching must not be
done if a good early Winter crop ia
wanted.

S. J. Goddard*s Chosen Four

Asked as to what he considered the
best four varieties in their colors, Mr.
Goddard replied that he considered Lad-
die, Rosalia, Ward and White Delight
the winners. Maine Sunshine was the

Kalamazoo, Mich.

Feb. 19. — The retailers sum up the St.
Valentine's Day trade as quite good, tak-
ing in the conditions of business gener-
ally. This means that while things were
by no means as rushing as that of a year
ago, our business has not yet slumped as
badly as many others. It also indicates
that the peak of high prices has passed
and we must also adjust our prices, in-
deed, this has already occurred, as the
present retail quotations are moderate in-
deed as compared with those of a year
ago, when Carnations and Rosea sold

around $3 per doz., while now, the former
starts at $1 and rises to $1.50, while
Roses are as low as $1.50 to start. Vio-
lets were 75c. and $1 a bunch then, 60c.
now; Paperwhites $1.50 and $1.75 last
year, now $1 and 80c. on all doivn the
line, and the prospects are for further re-
ductions rather than otherwise. It will
be_ seen then that the prevailing prices
quite closely approximate the pre-war
ones, even though we are still burning
high priced coal and still paying high
labor cost, so that the profit margins must
be narrower this year than ever. The
prevailing opinions here are that freight
and express rates are too high and also
that the high overhead costs must be re-
duced before real progress can be effected
for, while undoubtedly the country is
sound financially, business will regain
gradually, and values will be in accord-
ance with worth of articles produced. Of
course, both growers and retailers will
have to fall in line or get out.

Business just now is fair, most likely
as good as that of any other lines, and
the prospects are this will be normal till
Easter and the Spring trade develops.
There is plenty of money when flowers
are really wanted, but the abundance of
funeral work we had last year ia lacking,
and so is what is known here as factory
orders. Last year it was an easy matter
to collect $40 or $50 in a factory for
flowers, but not so this year. The trade
here has received picture cards from E. G.
Gillett, now visiting in Florida, and hope
the visit there will do him good. Mr.
Gillett is well known here and has many
friends in Kalamazoo and other points in
Michigan. S. B.

St. Louis, Mo.

The Market

Feb. 21.— The first week of Lent
found the_ St. Louis market in fair condi-
tion. Prices, owing to increased supply
were lower, but at no time was there an
actual glut. The first part of the week
the weather was warm, but towards the
middle of the week it was below freezing.
At the time of writing, it ia cool and clear
with proapecta of temperature above freez-
ing.

Carnations are quoted at $8 per 100
splits at $4 and some few, very poor stock
was offered at $3. Roses are quoted from
$5 to $25; Violets at 40c. and 50c. per
100; Sweet Peas, 50c. to $2 per 100; Nar-
cissi, $4; Tulips, $4 to $10; Jonquils, $3
to S4; Smilax 25c. per string; fancy ferns
$4 to $5 per 1000. The growers of plants
are busy preparing their stock for Easter
and with bright weather, everything ap-
pears to be safe for a good supply. A
publicity meeting will be held and ar-
rangements concluded for Easter advertis-
ing. The retailers are having advance
fern sales and business appears to be
fairly good for the Lenten season.

News Notes

President Theodore Miller and Sec-
retary F. C. Weber, mean to get down
to business and put the Retail Floriata
Ass'n where it belongs. In Secretary F.
C. Weber we have a hustler and he should
get retailers to organize and see whether
when stock is plentiful they could not
find some way of getting together and
devising means of ridding the market of
oversupply and preventing the slaughter
of flowers.

The bowlers are hard at it and the
Sweet Pea team has a big head, but the
Carnations say they are stalling and will
take the lead.

Joe Hauaer has some very choice Vio-
lets.

Charles Connon has been a busy man all
week. He is doing a nice business at
Webster, Mo.

C. Cisoski, Cass ave., florist, has several
weddings for the coming week.

St. Paul, Minn.

Trade Conditions

All through January, buainess con-
ditions equalled that of last year; prices
ruled high, stock was scarce, and the de-
mand could not be met. Ordinary Roses
wholesaled as high as 40c. a piece. Car-
nations 16c. to 18c., and all other stock
in proportion, but since Feb. 1, a marked
difference has been noted. Several grow-
ers overstocked themselves with single
Daffodils and practically flooded the
market. Many were sold as low as 2%c.;
the double Daffodils and bicolors are not
so plentiful, and realize better prices;
Tulips remain steady at 6c and 8c. 1116
first two weeks in February were quiet.

but St. \ alentine's Day gave a little spurt
to business, though nothing exceptional.
Spring flowers seemed to predominate and
home grown Violets were in demand. The
weather continues warmer than usual for
this section, and sunny days have per-
vailed lately, which will be a big factor
in fimshing off the Easter stock. Lilies
look promising, also the Roses, both baby
and ramblers, but the Hydrangeas look
doubtful.

Odd Notes

The Merriam Park Floral Co. have
an exceptionally good lot of Lilies and
Roses.

Hermes has his usual anpply of Lilies
— he has discontinued growing the usual
amount of Carnations; growing more
Roses and will have a good cut from now
on.

The Lakewood Greenhouses have had
a large supply of bulb stock of gooil
quality. The disposal of same proved a
little difficult at times.

The Minnesota State Florists Asa'n.
held their annual meeting and banquet at
St. Paul Athletic Club, Feb. 17; there
was a large crowd with a number of good
speakers.

Holland bulb travelers do not seem very
well pleased with the volume of orders
so far. This season's bulbs have not been
as good as usual, coming very uneven,
due probably to the unripe condition of
bulbs when harvested. E. C.T

John J. B. Hatfield, who came to
Indianapolis in 1861, and whose love of
flowers was so noted that he had made
himself well linown in local floral circles,
died last week at his home, 5903 College

The florists generally have h a busy
time during the past week, several promi-
nent persons having passed away. C. J.
Hill, who is a high Mason, also a floral
artist, had several pieces to make for the
Masons who wished to show the esteem
m which they held the late Ex.-Ald.
Isaac H. Stearns, who for 50 years
had not missed one annual meeting of the
Order. He was very high in the order
and over 1500 members of the craft at-
tended the funeral.

The removal of the one iier cent sales
tax on cut flowers which the growers
have been charging for the jiast twelve
months and which the retailers say they
did_ not charge up to their customers ia
satisfactory, but they must now collect on
all floral designs, sprays or bouquets of
flowers for any purpose whatsoever, two
per cent. This will necessitate the keep-
ing of books by the small retailer who
does a certain amount of floral work.
They are to charge it up to their cus-
tomers, a record must be kept and tax
payable made to the Dept.

Messrs. E. J. Hayward and H. Eddy
left on Sunday night to attend the execu-
tive meeting of the C. H. A., which is
in session at Peterboro, Ont. Among
other business, it will be decided where
the annual convention is to be held. I
am told Peterboro is a favorite place.
Mr. Eddy is the society's worthy secre-
tary-treasurer; Earnest Hayward "is chief
of publicity. MoDKT Royal.

A Few Ideas on Starting a Retail Flower Shop— Be Sure You Are Right—
Which Means. Consider Well Your Obiectives— Then Go Ahead.

Getting the Flower Shop Started

THK h,irdest thing in the world is to "get started"
in business, to make customers and attract trade.
This is particularly true of the small tradesman
whose location is not particularly prominent, anti who
cannot afford to buy space in the newspapers. Tlie
very idea of "customers" suggests people who are "ac-
customed" to buy of the dealer, and for the newcomer
to win patrons away from other well-established con-
cerns is no easy task.

A florist in a city of the Middle West started a small
store on one of the principal streets. It was not the
chief retail thoroughfare, s '11, there was a good volume
of traffic in that direction and the location was better
than the average. The florist reasoned in this way :
"I can advertise myself by putting an ad in the papers,
which will cost some money; or I can take the same
amount of money and put it into flowers and use them
for advertising purposes."

And that is just what
was done. He bought 2000
Roses, stationed a man in
front of the store, and
everybody who passed, if
they were of good appear-
ance, was given a flower.
Nobody refused, and that
the gift was appreciated
■was shown by the fact
that before the end of the
month the florist vras bet-
ter than "breaking even."
People who had received
the Roses came back vrith
their regular trade.

It is the unusual combination that attracts attention, and it
is probable tha the same stunt, if it has not been used
before in your community, would make an excellent
ad.

Experience Beats "Dope"
It its always well to remember that actual experience
is much better than "dope," however logical the reason-
ing used may be. An instance of this is given in the
plans used by two rival florists in a large city of the
Ohio Valley. When the parcel post went into effect,
one of these florists decided that here was a chance to
get business which he had not been handling ; conse-
quently he began soliciting trade both by circular let-
ters and through newspaper advertising. The novelty
of delivery "via parcel post" appealed to a large num-
ber of people, and he built up a big trade in a zone
containing several hundred square miles. The matter of
packing his flowers so as to enable them to withstand

Don't OversoUcitjYour
Customers

Florists ill cities where
there are many society
events naturally find that it
pays to keep in touch with
these, and to go after the
business of providing flow-
ers and decorations for the
leading functions. It is cus-
tomary to keep a calendar
of club affairs, which can
usually be secured without
trouble, even if it is not
published in the daily pa-
pers.

As suggested, it is good
business policy to watch
this trade and cultivate it
as carefully as possible; but there is such a thing as
overdoing it. Society people as a rule are easily offended,
and cases have been recorded of overzealous florists rul-
ing themselves out of the situation by too frequent or
too aggressive methods in this respect.

"I am going to give you this order," a society woman
told a florist not long ago, "because you have not wor-
ried me to death about it. Some of the others have
been after me so hard that I just decided I wouldn't
buy from them."

The happy medium between absolute inactivity and
too great a display of eagerness is the ideal system.

Novel Advertising Helps

Anything out of the ordinary will attract public at-
tention. People will stop to watch a man demonstrating
a safety razor in the window of a cut-rate drug store
just as they will to see a sandwich man dressed as a
clown and leading a donkey, passing along the street.
The unusual and the extraordinary arouse curiosity,
and in satisfying it some good advertising can be ac-
complished.

One of the best stunts ever used by the florist who
related it consisted of having some American Beauty
Roses frozen in a block of solid ice. The plan was
simple enough, and an arrangement with a friendly
ice manufacturer resulted in the combination of ice
and flowers being furnished. The blocks were placed in
the windows, with drains underneath to catch the water
as the ice melted, and it is sufficient to say that the crowds
which looked at the display were greater than had ever
before studied a window exhibit of a florist shop in that
town. Everybody is familiar with the fact that a lead-
ing watch manufacturer has adopted the same idea.

Penn's Valentine's Day Window

Thf combination of a pretty girl, clever acting and attractive surroundings drew sucii crowds that a
policeman had to "keep them movingl" — See text.

the unusual shocks of handling and the increased period
in transit was given attention, and the florist got all of
his shipments to his customers in good shape.

Florist No. 2 decided that the parcel post wouldn't do
him any good. "No," he said, after cogitating over the
matter, "using the mails to sell flowers isn't a practicable
idea. The florists' packages would get on the bottom
and be mashed, whereas in being expressed they are
usually lighter than the rest and stay on top. Besides,
they're likely to be left on station platforms to freeze or
wither." Having convinced himself of the correctness of
his line of argument, he calmly sat back and let the other
fellow "get the Grapes."

Are you sure that all of your own methods are
based on actual tests, instead of plain guesswork ?

Do It Yourself

Even though the distance between the florist and the
'customer may be so great that he feels like delegating
the work to some brother florist nearer at hand, it is
really better to stand the increased expense in order to
make certain that the work is done right, likewise to
obtain the benefit of the publicity and prestige naturally
attendant upon making an exceptionally long trip to take
care of a big order. This is not speaking of the delivery
of plants, cut flowers, or an ordinary piece, the order for
the execution of which can readily be entrusted these days
to a brother florist over the 'phone, but applies to a house
or church decoration, or other decorative work on a
large scale. On a contract of this character a good idea
is to execute the work yourself.

A Good Way to Lose Trade

slogan on which some of the greatest commercial suc-
"Give your customers what they want," is a business

cesses of the country have been established. It works
out as well in the flower business as in the dry goods.
The customer usually wants his orders executed quickly
and the florist who can't supply that order ought to make
an earnest effort to get the goods somehow, somewhere,
rather than admit that he has fallen down on his job.
This applies particularly, of course, to orders taken in
advance.

A florist in a college town received a large number of
orders for red Roses to be used in connection with a
gala football game. Only red Roses would do, it
seemed, as the colors of the school included crimson.
On the day of the game the florist found that business
had run ahead of expectations, and that he was short
of red Roses. He therefore decided that white or yel-
low Roses would do equally well, and proceeded to fill his
orders, which had been given him some time before, with
flowers of the colors he happened to have in stock.
They didn't answer the
pose, of course, and many
were sent back. Most of
the people on whom he
used substitutes decided
not to do business with him
again. And , they were
really justified in their de-
termination.

The action of this florist
was exceptional and the
probabilities are that he
had never before had such
an opportunity to dis-
tinguish himself, and as
well that he. had not ap-
preciated tlie magnitude of
it. Most florists in his fix,
unable to reach a wholesale
florist, would have gone to
their competitors and pur-
chased the necessary Roses,
even had it been necessary
to pay the regular retail
price. This instance is
quoted here because we are
all of us, even to the most
careful and forward look-
ing, apt to trip up at some
time of the game one day
or the other, and it be-
hooves us to have our wits
about us at all times. In
this instance it is bad
enough simply to lose busi-
ness of a transient nature
by reason of not having the

right stock; but it is worse to alienate custom by trying
to work off undesirable material on people who speci-
fically asked for something else.
Give your customers what they want.

Penn's Valentine Day Window

Unique Display Brings Best Day's Business
on Record

Successful window displays are nothing new in the
history of Penn the Florist of Boston, but his 1921
St. Valentine's Day effort seems to have hit the bulls-
eye and rung the gong louder than any previous tri-
umph. The accompanying illustration suggests how
effective it was, and this Mr. Penn supplements in a
letter, saying: "It was necessary at one time to have a
police officer keep the crowds moving as the sidewalks
were rendered impassable. It was considered one of
the best windows we ever had to attract the public and
the result was one of the best St. Valentine Day's busi-
nesses we have ever known."

What Did It

The feature of this remarkable window — which even
the photographer was prevented by the crowd from
bringing out — was a young lady — an actress in a local
theater in fact — who, dressed in a doll's costume
trilmmed with small hearts and red flowers suited to
the day, acted the part of a mechanical doll.

She made her entrance through a backgrotmd painted
to represent the interior of a home and, advancing to
tlie center of the window, went through motions with
the studied stiffness and awkwardness of a huge,
mechanical toy. Her clever make-up, her perfectly

controlled facial expression, and the won-
derful skill with which she went through
the pantomime led many of those who
crowded around the window to think that
it was indeed a remarkable piece of me-
chaniam and not fleah and blood that gave
the performance.

As always, this stimulation of curiosity
and conjecture on the part of the observer
drew and held the attention of everyone

Excellent Trade Promotion Effort

I A four-page leaflet comes to hand from
! the Ehinebeck Floral Co^ whose head-
I quarters are Rhinebeck, N. Y. It is is-
sued monthly, primarily for the benefit of
its present ana prosjjective customers, and
covers most interesting material for that
class, such as: "The Month in the
Garden," 'TSow to Say it with Flowers,"
"Some Plants for Your Winter Window,"
"Some Leaves from the Editor*s Note-
book," a talk on 1921 prices for fniit '
trees, small fruits, perennials, etc., and
an article on 'TVinter Beauty of Trees,"
which draws attention to those which are
common in that locality and points out
the Winter beauty of each one.

All this is educational matter of a high
order because so entertainingly written that
the recipients, if at ail interested in Na-
ture and their surroundings, will be sure
to appreciate it.

In the article on *TSow to Say it with
Flowers" is a "partial list of times when
flowers are the one gift which are sure
to please everyone, and are absolutely
appropriate,'* That item in the list which
strikes us is that of "Every Meal." It
has often been said that if every adult
man in the country would wear a bouton-
ni&re every day in the year it would
create an immense call for cut flowers.
We cannot well say we esrpect to live to
see the time when this will become uni-
versal, but we believe an active propa-
ganda will make it much more general
than it is today. At present it is a rare
exception to see any man wearing a
boutonni&re except during the months of
plenty in the commuters gardens when,
on the trains and in the ferryboats, you
will see quite a nimiber wearing some
flower plucked from the garden, other-
wise the boutonnifere habit could hardly
be said to exist.

If it became the common usage for
every family to have a few cut flowers
or a plant in bloom on the table at meal
times (than which nothing could be more
humanizing and refining) this, too, would
certainly make a big call for the prod-
ucts for our greenhouses.

Boutonnifere wearing and flowers at
"every meal" can be advocated by every

Its Possible Portent for Retailers

Another organization has been added
to the already long list, but while pos-
sessing its own officers, it is in reality,
merely one organized section of the
Allied Florists Trade Ass'n of New York,

Its purpose is to boost the sales of
flowers and plants and work for the bene-
fit of the trade generally.

Wholesalers, retailers, greenhouse build-
ers and others who desire to help, will
work with the growers until the Allied
Association becomes a solid body, made
up of the several sections.

Until then, the growers' organization
will carry on a local advertising cam-
paign as far as able, and donate 25 per
cent of its income to the national fimd.

For the present, the new growers* as-
sociation is made up of cut flower growers
and the few plant growers who, at the
meeting on Friday last, expressed a de-
sire to join. The New York and New Jer-
sey Plant Growers' Aas'n, which has been
in existence for some years, _ may join
forces with the new organization and so
form one strong body. If not, it will
presumably continue as a second complete
unit of the allied association, which at
present, lacks power of full action, be-
cause the other sections of the trade have
not as yet come to a definite agreement.

The decision of the growers _ is, we
thinkj a commendable one;_ action was
certainly needed, and we believe that the
growers will materially benefit by it. The
retailers, as a whole, cannot long stand
by and look on, for, by increasing the
demand through advertiisng, the growers
will be in a position to influence prices
either up or doA\'n, according to the sup-
plies.

Their purpose is to avoid wastage of
stock, even when the supply is super-
abundant, and the retailers must as-
suredly stand in and assist to bring about
this desideratum.

If they do not, it is not difficult to
foresee that the growers could, in times
of glut, break down any attempt to keep
up prices at such a level as would pre-
vent a clearance of the markets.

Some wise man once declared that "it
IS only children who enjoy the present;
their elders either live on the memory of
the past or the hope of the future."
Those retailers who are living on past
memories and who imagine the future
holds forth the same prospects, will do
well to survey the outlook. Grievances
they may have, but such cannot be recti-
fied or leveled up by taking advantage of

the grower or the wholesaler. Both the
latter have risks to face, and leaving them
in the "cart" in times^ of glut, only en-
genders a sense or desire for retaliation
in times of shortage.

The wholesaler is responsible to the
grower and, if he is forced to keep stock
in the icebox because the retailers are
not willing to speculate, both the whole-
saler and the grower get the notion that
they are being made something of a con-
venience.

Such a state of affairs is, too say the
least, not calculated to benefit the trade
as a whole.

Comparing the fiower business of New
York and London, one is impressed by the
fact that in the latter, the bulk of the
wholesle trade is done between the hours
of five a.m. and nine a.m. A few outside
dealers do business at a later hour, but
the market itself is ended at nine a.m.
and retailers have to buy accordingly.

If the retailers do not rise to the occa-
sion in times of glut, the wholesalers, who
have practically no storage facilities, have
but one method of clearing. London can-
not compare with New York in the way

of retail stores, either in niunbers or
size, but London possesses a second line
of retailers — the hawker or, as we choose
to term them, the street fakir.

Many hundreds of the London hawkers
buy good stock and many of them, too,
on a scale that storekeepers never ven-
ture upon.

The London hawker is no learner; he is
out for bargains all the time and, because
of his readiness to take a chance on cut
flowers or pot plants, he is always a strong
competitor of the storekeeper.

In a word, it may be said that more
loose flowers and plants reach the public
through the hawker than through the Lon-
don storekeeper, the latter alone has the
pull on made up or decorative work.

Far be it for this writer to see the up-
rising of an army of street sellers m
New York, but it is nevertheless a fact
that there are growers who find the
itinerant vendor a more reliable outlet for
their wares than the ordinary store-
keeper.

Those retailers who have more or less
used the growers and wholesalers as mere
props, may well pay heed to the signs,
otherwise the props may get tired of the
burden.

It is an old saying that there is more
than one way to kill a cat, and there
surely are other ways of reaching the

The various growers' associations

the purpose of increasing the demand for
their wares, and those retailers who stand
aloof and boost artificial goods will as-
suredly be up against it if the growers
are left to work out their own salvation.

Feb. 21. — Although Lent has slowed up
business, as a whole, trade last week held
up well, with considerable funeral work.
Bulbous stock is coming in more freely,
and is still bringing good returns. Some
very fine King Alfred USTarcissi were
brought in in 8-in. pans, containing five
bulbs; they carried 12 to 14 flowers. With
the price of bulbs much lower this year,
it looks profitable to grow.

The decorations at the 25th aniver-
sarv of the Worcester Art Museum were
very effective. As a rule, these institu-
tions are rather difficult to decorate, but
Lange was very successful and received
many compliments on his. treatment.
Quantities of Narcissus were use I in the
upper galleries, and Flamingo Tulips in

the gallery used for the reception party.
Tall Kentias and pyramidal evergreens
were used effectively. Lange also had the
decorations for the Junior Prom at Clark
CoUege.

Frank Sokol is growing some fine bulb
stock, all in pans, which are handled ex-
clusively by Randall.

The sixth lecture in the mid-Winter
course of the Worcester County Horticxd-
tural Society, Feb. 17, was highly interest-
ing. Dr. G. M. Twitchell of Auburn, Me.,
was the speaker. He gave an illustrated
talk. The Story of the Nine-Acre Farm.

The ilass. Fruit Growers Association
held its annual election and meeting in
Horticultural Hall Feb. 23.

Sunday saw the first real storm of the
Winter, two feet of snow on the level. A
high wind and ten above zero made us
think of last Winter; no losses reported
as yet. Wobco.

Ore Gnatt Returns Home

Ove Gnatt of La Porte, Ind., with his
family reached New York last week, after
a three months' stay in Europe, visiting
Denmark, Sweden, France and Germany.
The visit to Denmark, their former home,
was the family's first after an absence of
eight years.

Mr. Gnatt's observations abroad com-
pelled him to the belief, emphasized by
the after the war conditions prevailing in
Europe just now, that "There's no place
like America." "Business or Pleasure?"
queried we of Mr. Gnatt. "Both," was
his emphatic reply.

Moreover, he spoke decidedly in favo
of the purcnase of domestic goods on al
possible occasions. He had not come ii
contact on the other side with that bette
quality in florists' supplies which wouli
warrant a preference for the foreig;
product over the domestic.

Ert., is shown on an enlarged scale, the li
cation of_ the Heermance Cold Storag
being indicated.

The various elevated and subway r»i
roads are shown in color, while on tl
reverse side, is a complete index, whic
enables one to quickly locate any poll

The Market

Feb. 21. — On Monday of this week
the wholesale flower market was in a
peculiar condition. The snowstorm of
Sunday largely prevented the arrival of
flowers and the offerings of cut flowers
■consisted in a large measure throughout
the morning and well into the afternoon
of what had been left over from Sat-
urday. Later in the day shipments be-
gan to arrive. With a brisk market this
would have been a calamity, but, although
this was the day before Washington's
Birthday, in the morning hours very few
byers, indeed, were seen in the market
and the demand, consequently for flowers
was light. Tuesday morning the unsold
shipments which arrived late on Mon-
day and the shipments of that day were
hoth thrown on the market. Again the
demand was light, the extra demand
which might have been stimulated by
Washington's Birthday being more than
offset by the unfavorable weather and
traffic conditions in the city. Under
these conditions, of course, prices of last
w^eek were with difficulty maintained.

Again this week, American Beauty and
other red Eoses are in short supply. Spe-
cial grade blooms of Beauty are bring-
ing $1 to $1.50 each and other grades are
selling at proportionate prices ; top
grade blooms of other Roses are selling at
$6 to $20 per 100; Hadley, however, is
realizing 60c. each; Key, 75c.; Crusader,
35c.; and Premier, 40c. No. 2 grade

blooms are selling at $2 for the old time
white and pink Killarney, up to $6 per
100 for the preferred varieties.

Carnations are in medimn heavy supply.
Select grade blooms are selling at $4 to
$6 per 100, and the others at S2 to §3.

The rather large supply of Cattleyas is
moving slowly at 20c. to 50c. each. Gar-
denias are still in short supply and are
bringing $6 to $12 per doz. Lily of the
Valley is moving out slowly at $2 to $6
per 100; white Lilies at $S to $20.

The supply of bulbous stock in general
is large and the demand weak. Callas
are selling at $1 to $2.50 per doz.,
Freesia at 15c. to 50c. per doz. Nar-
cissus Paperwhite at 40c. to 60c. Golden
Spur, in general, 25c. to 35c. per bunch,
Soleil d'Or, 50c. to 75c. There are some
of the newer and preferred varieties of
Narcissus such aa King Alfred and Van
Waveren's Giant, which are selling at
75c. to $1 and upward per bunch. Tulips,
outside of Darwins, are selling at 25c. to
60c. a bunch; Darwins at $1 and up.

There is the usual supply of miscella-
neous flowers in the market, all of which
are meeting with a moderate demand at
quoted prices.

The supply of greens of all kinds is
abundant and the demand for these and
the prices remain about the same as last
week.

Wasbington's Birthday

From what we can learn from the
daily press, the observation of Washing-
ton's Birthday in this city was not very
general. A historical pageant was given

History, depicting the inauguration of the
first president. The cast was from the
members of the City History Club, John
Walker depicting George Washington; it
was under the direction of the N. Y.
Conmiunity Service. There were also
services in honor of Washington at St.
Patrick's Cathedral and at the Cathedral
of St. John the Divine.

In a recent conversation with A. M.
Henshaw, secretary-treasurer of the New
York Growers' A^s'n, and chairman of
the Allied Florists Trade Ass'n of New
York, Mr. Henshaw said that the cheques
from the growers who had offered to pay
the six months' assessment, were coming
in satisfactorily.

A meeting of the different branch com-
mittees is to be held at Secretary John
Young's office, 43 W. 18th st., on Thurs-
day, Feb. 24, at 2.30 p.m., at which men
in the trade who were interested and
seeking information will be made wel-
come.

New York wholesalers, Mr. Henshaw
says, have forwarded to all other growers,
information of progress to date, and have
appealed to them to join the ranks of
those already contributing. This notice
has an attached form for growers to fill
out, giving information and answering
questions as to their willingness to con-
tribute.

It is hoped that the retailers will soon
be ready with their own scheme for as-
sessments. The chairmen, Mr. Henshaw
reports, in charge of other branches, such
as Plant Growers, Supply Dealers, Green-
house Builders and Seedsmen, are proceed-
ing with the work of collecting contribu-
tions. The necessity for advertising,

Chairman Henshaw says, iDecomes more
and more apparent. The candy man ad-
vertises "Say it with Candies; it is
Cheaper/' and the jeweler^ "Say it with
Jewelry; it Lasts Longer." Many other
lines of business are advertising to the
disadvantage of the florist, who is the
only merchant who has considered it un-
necessary to talk to the public about his
wares through the medium of the daily
press. This is true of New York at least;
other cities have found out the benefits to
be derived from local advertising and
are spending more and more money in that
way.

Mr. Henshaw, as chairman of the Allied
Florists Ass'n, places himself at the dis-
posal of any member of the trade desiring
information or other help.

Florists' Club Banquet

Roman J. Irwin, chairman of the
Banquet Committee of the New York
Florists Club, desires to remind the mem-
bers of _ the club that they should obtain
their tickets and send in their reserva-
tions for tables to him at as early a date
as possible. The date of the banquet
which is expected to be, as usual, one of
the most delightful events of the year in
the florists' trade, is JIarch 16, the place,
the Biltmore Hotel. It will be a great
help both to the chairman and other mem-
bers of the Banquet Committee in their
efforts to make this banquet of 1921 a
great success, if they will, as before re-
quested, make their reservations as early
as possible. Chairman Irwin's address is
43 W. 18th St., N. Y. City.

The effect of the snowfall of Sunday,
was to delay greatly or prevent altogether
the arrival of shipments of flowers from
the growers to the wholesale florists of
this city. Both the Summit (N. J.), and
the Scott Automobile Express Companies,
which bring large shipments of flowers
daily to this city, were unable to make
their usual trips on Monday. Some of
the large shipments came in late on Mon-
day by rail, and some small shipments
were brought in by hand.

Greek- American Florists' Association
BaU

The 14th annual entertainment and
ball of the Greek- American Florists Ass'n,
Inc., will, as in past years, without a
doubt be one of the most delightful occa-
sions in florist circles taking place this
season. The ballroom decorations at the
great Hotel Commodore, will, we are told,
be unusually elaborate and beautiful The
orche.^tra of 50 pieces will furnish music
for the high class vaudeville entertain-
naent which begins at 8.30 on the evening
of March 2, and also for the dancin<*
which will follow. Tickets can be pur-
chased m advance at the N. Y. Florists
Supply Co., 103 W. 2Sth St., N Y City
or m the evening of the ball at the box
otnce at the Commodore.

The wholesale flower stores of this city
were closed at noon on Tuesday, Wash-
ington's Birthday.

We noted this week some remarkably
beautiful sprays of Cymbidiums, as well
as a full Ime of other orchid blooms, at
the store of James -\rcManus.

Mathew Sampson, Jr., of Noe & Samp-
son received notice on Saturday of last
week of the death of his father in Canada

At the Henshaw Floral Co., recently
we observed a line of bulbous flowers
some comparative novelties of unusual ex-
cellence, among these were some splendid
blooms of the old time Amarvllis John-
sonii and several of the newer varieties of
Narcissi, including Van Waveren's Ciant,
Olympia, King Alfred, Minnistav Talma,
an improvement on Golden Spur, and of
the Narcissus poeticus, Mignon and Ja-
conde. These Narcissi were from the
growing establishment of E. W. Fengar
Irvington, N. J. '

Among the recent callers in town were
Wm. Swayne, Kennett Square, Pa., David
Rust, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Hor-
ticulture Society, Philadelphia, Pa.,
Thomas Roland, Nahant, Mass., F. Fallon,
Roanoke, Va., and Ove Gnatt of the Ove
Gnatt Co., La Porte, Ind. Mr. Gnatt
has just returned from a three months'
trip to Denmark and other parts of
Europe.

We regret to learn of the death of Mrs.
Agnes M. Langjahr, wife of Alfred Lang-
jahr, on Friday, Feb. 18. The funeral was
from her late residence, Croydon rd. Ja-
maica Estates, Simday afternoon, Feb. 20,
at 2 o'clock. Interment private. Mr.
Langjahr, who has been engaged in the
wholesale florists business in this city for
many years, will certairJy have the sym-

pathy of the entire trade in his great be-
reavement.

Some four years ago, the Hermance
Storage and Refrigerating Co. set aside
special rooms for the storage of Lily bulbs
giving this then new department close
study and careful attention. The result
was that after a year or two nearly all
the Lilies reaching this city from Japan
went into these cold storage rooms. This
success led the same company recently to
set aside similar rooms for the storage of
Lily of the Valley pips and to give this
department additional attention. In con-
sequence, nearly all the Lily of the Val-
ley pips coining into this city are also
stored in this company's rooms, both ma-
terials coming under the personal charge
of R. H. Diedrich. He attributes the suc-
cess of the enterprise to the close attention
given to details and the fact that someone
continually watches the temperature of
these bulb and pip storing rooms night
and day. . Mr. Diedrich, by the way, has
recently been made secretary of this com-
pany.

Tarrytown, (N,Y.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of the
above society was held in the Masonic
buildings on Feb. 16; President John
Mair in the chair; a large attendance
of members being present. A friendly
and instructive discussion arose on the
question of the best ways and means of
making the monthly exhibits more inter-
esting to every member. This society has
reason to be proud of the fine quality of
the exhibits shown at its meetings and is
endeavoring to still go one better by mak-
ing two classes, one for the members with
greenhouses, and one for the members with
no greenhouses. Prizes in each class will
be: First, §20; second, SlO; third. S5,
each exhibit to be judged on its merits
and awarded points accordingly.

Vice-President Chas. J. Wood offered
a special prize for the best 12 Carnations
assorted, which was won by Wm. Jami-
son, Thos. A. Lee, taking second place.

Wm. Jamison also staged a fine vase of
Carnation Laddie for which he was award-
ed a cultural certificate. Other exhibits
from Jamison were a vase of Acacia and
vase of colored Freesias. Alexander
Anderson showed Sweet Peas, Buddleias
and Dimorphotheca ; Chas. Wood staging
a vase of wallflowers. The judges were
Jolm Featherston, John Grant and Thos.
Wilson.

The society has arranged to hold a La-
dies' evening at the March meeting. The
Entertainment Committee assures us a
pleasant time.

The special competition for the March
meeting will be for flowering bulbs.

Rep. Sec'y.

The Market

Feb. 22. — Within a period of less
than 30 days, the wholesale cut flower
market has passed from one extreme to
the other. The middle of January found
the market so bare of stock that it was
with some difficulty the wholesalers ap-
portioned it to steady customers in an
endeavor to keep them satisfied. Other
than steady customers had but little con-
sideration. Before the month of February
had turned on its last lap, the market was
filled to overflowing. The difiieulties of
the wholesalers in January had passed,
but new difficulties arose ; the need of
getting buyers to move the large amount
of stock that comes in daily Thus, it is
the wholesaler never is — but always to be
blest.

The mild Spring-like weather of the
past ten days has brought all stock out
in quantities. Roses are plentiful again,
and Carnations are in full crop, but this
is not all; the amount of bulbous stock
is probably as large as either one, making
a combination of splendid quality that
should appeal to the most critical of
buyers, and at prices that should make
their selling easy and swell the profits of
the retailers.

The shipping business is about normal,
although the Lenten period is said to have
reduced the consumption in some of the
large centers that get their supply from
this market. This is, however, stimulated
by special offers on many lines of stock
that are sent out daily by wire to large
buyers.

In the supply of bulbous stock, there is
a large variety offered; in Tulips there
are the single earlies, doubles, and Dar-
wins. These are in many varieties, and
the past week have been augmented by
shipments of outdoor Southern grown
stock. There are still lots of Paperwhite
Narcissus and some Campernelles. In
Freesias there are the old refracta alba as
well -as Purity - and then the -Rainbow
varieties; the latter have been grown on
a larger scale than ever for this market
this season. These have not been selling
as well as the growers had hoped, the
price not being commensurate with the
higher price of the bulbs.

There is an abundance of Valley, and
Violets are arriving in better condition
than they did for St. Valentine's Day.
In orchids the supply is mainly Cattleyas,
although some Oncidiums are on the mar-
ket in lesser quantities.

Sweet Peas are in fair supply and im-
pro\nng in quality with the longer days
and increased sujishine. Callas are in
good supply at from $1.50 to §3 per doz.

California grown Heather has been a
feature on the market this year to an
extent not seen before. Last year there
was a lot of it sent here pot-grown for
plant sales that was a disappointment to
all interested. This year in cut form, it
is meeting with more favor. It is put up
in bunches of about one dozen good sized
sprays and sells for about $1.50 per bunch.
_ Of Calenduals, Pansies, Myosotis, Dai-
sies, etc., there is a good supply. There
is enough ol greens, fancy ferns bringing
95 per 1000 as a standard price all over
the market.

Wholesalers are already figuring on
Easter prospects, which is less than one
month away.

Cfity News

The sad news of the death of Peter
Reinberg reached the market early Mon-
day morning. His short illness was known
only to a few immediate friends, and the
announcement came as quite a shock. It
is not over two weeks ago when he re-
turned from a trip to Florida in company
with Nick Wietor and their wives, all in
excellent health. Fred Lautenschlager,
secretary of the Chicago Florists Club, is
sending out a special notice of the death
to all members. It was the desire of the
officers and trustees of the club that as
large a representation of the club as pos-
sible be in attendance at the funeral serv-
ices on Thursday morning.

Decoration Day brings to the minds of
the florists, especially those associated
with cemetery connections, that pot plants
in bloom find a ready sale. Previous to
the embargo brought about by quarantine
37, and presumably to continue, one of
the most profitable of such pot plants
were P.oses. The .=aid embargo has made
it impossible for the grower to buy, and
grow at a profit, such as were imported
and formed a large portion of "the plant
commerce in the past. There is a good
substitute, however, in what is known as
"bench plants" of many of the prominent
varieties, such as American Beautj^, Rus-
sell, Jliiady, Premier, etc. These are of-
fered by many in The Exchange adver-
tising columns and if potted up now, will
make saleable plants for Decoration Day.
Apart from cemetery work, if there is a
demand for plants for garden or home I
planting, these plants when turned out of i
the pots will continue to grow and bloom '
without a check, and will cause a realiza-
tion of early Spring dreams in the Rose
garden. When pot grown, these plants
can be set out much later in the season
than any other stock not so grown, there-
by giving a longer season for plant sales
than might otherwise be the case. \

Cliff Pruner, representing the Poehl- ,
mann Bros. Co., reached the city Saturday I
from a trip to the Southwest. With him
came Sam Murray, and E. F. Barbee of ■
Kansas City, Mo., and Frank Stuppy of !
St. Joseph, Mo., and J. J. Frey, of Lin- [
coin, Neb. The party are on a pleasure
and business trip combined, and will visit
all the leading growing eatablishmenta in
the city while here. The party spent

Sunday at the Frank Oechslin establish-
ment. Other trips are planned for the
greater part of the week.

jM. C. Gunterberg reports an unusually
good demand for bench grown Rose plants.
The trade are buying and potting them
up for Decoration Day sales. The de-
mand- for field grown plants of the Ram-
bler varieties is as strong as ever.

Joe E. PoUworth, of the Kennicott
Bros. Co., has been on a trip through
Indiana and Missouri the past week.

Weiland-Risch Co., is the only Chicago
concern to pin its faith to the Mrs. Bay-
ard Thayer Rose. At present, the com-
pany are cutting some handsome blooms,
and it is a decided acquisition to all other
market varieties.

John Risch also likes Mrs. Russell; he >
did not plant Premier when many of the ■
other Chicago growers were doing so. He -
says Russell is the Rose for all kind of '
weather. It is good 365 days in the year.

Alex Ringler, of the Ringler Rose Co., ,
notes with emphasis the change in the <
Rose plant business within the last five <
years. Ten large cases of dormant Roses i
from Eastern growers represents an out-
lay of S3000 just received. In the old "
days when bench stock was available for
$20 per 1000 and less, it would require
many bos cars to move in such stock the '
equivalent of the amount now paid for i
ten eases.

John T- Buckbee, the well known seeds-
man and florist of Rockford, 111., was in >
Chicago a short time ago. He had two ■
distance missions to fill. One was to sell
Oats, the other to buy Roses. During
this period, stock was scarce and prices -
high. The price at that time for fancy i
Roses was equivalent in value at the ratio
of one Rose for a bushel of Oats. The
seedsman-florist exclaimed, "A bushel of
Oats for a single Rose!" He did not buy.
Rose prices do not seem so high unless ■
when mentioned in such comparison as
this. Then we hear some one remark the
growers do not get enough, and the farm-
ers have come into their own!

There is at all times an interesting
display of orchids in bloom in the Gar-
field Park Conservatories. A splendid lot
of Ccelop:^'ne cristata is at present being
highly admired. There is also Phalfenop-
sis Schilleriana, P. amabilis, Calantne
vestita, and several varieties of Odonto-
glossum, hybrid Cattleyas and Cypripe-
diums.

No Longer an Experiment

I have observed the experiments
along the new lines of commission whole-
saling that Kennicott Bros. Co. were
making, and recall the address made by
Joe E. Pollworth on the "Wholesale
House of the Future," August of 1918.

The suggestions in that paper are the
actual practices of Kennicott Bros. Co.
Growers are able to receive the report
on their consignments at 4 p.m. the same '
day consignments are made. Rose grow-
ers can determine with accuracy the
price per foot of stem received for every
variety of Roses sold. The "Report oi
Sales" indicates their daily sales, with
niunber carried over each day, on the
same principle just as plain as the month-
ly voucher returns made to depositors
having a cheching account at a bank.

When the meetings of Kennicott Bros
Co. are called they largely represent theii
consignors. At their annual meeting ol
stockholders for the election of diree ,
tors and officers, their growers learn U
know some of the "inside workings" tha* ,

"JAY EM" Says:

The lowly Geranium came into much
prominence in Chicago the past week, in
connection with the grisly mysteries of
spirit control, which caused Ruth and
Marian To\%-nsend, daughter and grand-
daughter, to bury their mother, Nancy M.
Chamberlain, in a flower bed in their back
yard on 57th st. last June.

It was for love, not for want, accord-
ing to the nature of the divinity wor-
shipped; whether the ancient philosophies
of the sun worshippers, or the single faith
of the American Indians, they placed their
mother's remains coffinless in their back
yard and planted a bed of Geraniums on
the burial mound. The mystery has just
come to light. Local papers are giving
the strange burial much publicity. No
mention is made of the variety of Geran-
iums used. It would be a safe guess, how-
ever, that only "Nutt's" would be appro-
priate in such atmosphere and surround-
ings- fcj _J

We always said we had them, now let
us see — are we right?

At the Carnation Convention "SIM'S"
CARNATIONS took 6 Firsts and 3

Seconds with 9 entries. (Not so worse, what?)

All our CARNATIONS come from Wm. Sim of Clifton-
dale. He has only about 130,000 plants. We sell his whole
output.

This about tells the Carnation story but, we have good
ORCHIDS too — the best of all varieties. Frank Dolansky,
of Lynn, has over 70,000 plants and we sell every flower that
is cut from them.

Our ROSES have always given great satisfaction.
LILIES, VIOLETS, MIGNONETTE, FREESL^S, NAR-
CISSUS, TULIPS, and all other sorts of flowers ready to
ship at all times, in any variety and in an quantity. Also
all sorts of Greens and Florists' Supplies.

Our reputation for reliability and prompt ship-
ments is O. K.

Only seven weeks to Easter. We are ready to make
contracts now.

the wholesale commission dealers have to
contend with. With a report of the busi-
ness conditions, iigures presented of the
sales made for their consignors and the
general management concerning the side
of cut flower buyers, the growers are well
prepared to discuss intelligently the many
problems of wholesaling, and to make
such recommendations as they desire to
better conditions all around. Their meth-
ods are worthy of emulation.

The company's sales of 1920 showed an
increase of $112,919.22 over the preceed-
ing year. January of 1921 had 5iown a
20.2 per cent increase over that of last
year m the same period.

The election of officers for the present
year resulted in H. B. Kennicott for
president; J. E. Pollworth, secretary;
B. F. Ellis, treasurer and omce manager.
Joseph Kohout succeeded himself as chair-
man of the governing board of all the
consignors, and J. R. Windier and Edward
Assa, also Rose growers, were elected on
the executive board as representatives of
the interest of the grower-stockholders,
with J. E. Pollworth as secretary and
manager. J. M.

Brattleboro, Vt.

C. N. Bond of this city has bought
the florist business of C. E. Allen, and will
combine his present property with that of
Mr. Allen's. He wilt then have 17,000 sq.
ft. of glass. His purchase of the Allen
property was the largest florist transac-
tion which has ever taken place in South-
em Vermont.

Market Conditions

Last week in the warm weather
stocks accumulated, prices declined, and
considerable stock had to be carried over
from day to day. Conditions were rather
poor on Feb. 18 and 19. On Feb. 20 a
great blizzard came and business was
demoralized the following day; many ship-
ments did not arrive at all or were much
delayed. Retail buying was in light vol-
ume, particularly with a holiday coming
a day later.

Roses hold up better than any of the
other flowers. They are not yet over
abundant and while the white Killameys
are somewhat of a drug on the market,
colored sorts have continued to sell well.

While short whites have to be cleared
at $3 and $4, colored stock of the newer
sorts brings $8 to $10, Butterfly, Premier,
Columbia and Pilgrim reaching the best
figures. Top price on hybrid Teas is $25,
while American Beauty is lower.

Carnations are in very heavy supply
and the quality is splendid. Matchless is
much overdone, but Pink Delight, Ward,
Rosette, Good Cheer, Rosalia and Laddie
sell quite well. Enchantress Supreme is
a poor seller; so is Alice. There is also
a light call for scarlet, variegated and
crimson. Values have dropped to $3, with
some of the best flowers njaking $4 and
$5 and Laddie, $8.

Sweet Peas are in tremendous supply,
and short stemmed flowers can be bought
as low as 25c. per 100, while long stemmed
stock makes $2 and $4; the quality is of

the best. Violets are quite cheap, so are
Pansies. Increased supply of yellow
Marguerites has caused prices on these to
drop; the same is true of Calendulas.
Freesias are very hard to sell. Golden
Spur Narcissus brings from $4 to $6, and
sells fairly well. There is a surplus of
other Narcissi, especially double Von
Sions and Tulips. Callas and Lillies are
equally hard to sell. Polyanthus and
Primroses sell quite well; Wallflowers
and Myosotis fairly; Bachelor's Buttons
moderately, and Mignonette not at all un-
less of best quality. The demand for
Cattleya Trianae is weak and prices have
dropped to $40 and $30, with some fan-
cies a little higher. Some very good
Cymbidiums are coming in, also Dendro-
bium nobile, Laelia anceps and Cypripe-
diums. There is a good supply of cut
Acacia, chiefly Baileyana, and it is freely
used in window decorations. Lily of the
Valley is not in much demand at $6 to
$8. Small supplies of Bouvardia still
filter in. For Asparagus and Adiantum,
there is a moderate call.

The supply of flowering plants is now
more varied and includes a few Tausend-
schoen Roses and Hydrangeas, also Genis-
tas, Acacias, Cinerarias, Cyclamen, Aza-
leas (including Kampferi), Primulas and
an abundance of bulbous material, among
which Darwin Tulips stand out pre-
eminent.

Field Day at CUftondale

The Gardeners and Florists Club
was favored with ideal weather for its
field day at CUftondale on Feb. 19. A few
hours later this part of New England had
a howling blizzard and the deepest snow-
fall of the Winter. There were 60 in the
party, the majority making the journey in
autos; one came from as far away as Bel-
lows Falls, Vermont.

Cliftondale, in former years, has been
noted for its Violets, Sweet Peas, Toma-
toes, Polyanthus, Pansies, Gladioli and
Auriculas; none of these plants are now
to be seen. All houses are filled with Car-
nations of topnotch quality. All plants
are grown in groimd beds, which contain
deep soil. None of this has been changed
since the houses were built over 20 years
ago, but beds are deeply spaded and lib-
erally manured before crops are planted.
Early planting is believed in, and some
houses are filled before Memorial Day;
the last are planted in July. The stock
goes from the cutting benches into ground
beds; from there to the houses or for the
later plantings, outdoors for a short
period, where the plants can be irrigated
when needed. No sterilization of the soil
has ever been done here, yet in all houses,
from the old narrow ones to the big roomy
60ft. wide modem ones, plants are in
grand condition — ^just as fine in the old as
ia the new houses.

White Delight is well liked here. It
seems more vigorous than Pink Delight,
IS very free and an early continuous Win-
ter bloomer. It will largely displace
Matchless, while Benora will be dropped.
Laddie shows up grandly; here are to be
seen 1500 plants. In the Fall, it bursts
badly, but later, there are few splits and
It IS a profuse bloomer. Pink Delight is
being grown and is well liked. Enchant-
ress Supreme looks sleepy and will be
dropped. Morning Glow is small but a
wonderful bloomer and proves very profit-
able. Ruth Baur will not be grown
again; too shy a bloomer. No variety has
yet displaced Ward as a medium pink. It
bursts badly and is not free, but sells
well and helps to sell other sorts. Ro-
sette and Rosalia are being grown. Mr.
Sim favors the former, but next season
will try Hope Henshaw as a medium pink.

Crimson he will drop; of the four
scarlets. Aviator leads. Belle Washburn
too slow although a fine flower. Ethel
Fisher not satisfactory. The Harold, too
single. Far fewer scarlets will be grown
next season. They don't pay well as there
IS never much call for them except for
Christmas. Most of those grown would
be pulled out after the holidays and the
space used for young stock. Fairy and
Gay Gordon are two fine variegated seed-
lings raised here of which there are consid-
erable batches. The first named has a
flower of very fine symmetry and the pen-
ciling, while lighter than that of Benora,
IS very pleasing. Benora is the standard
variegated groivn. There are long beds
of seedlings under trial and the best
of these are being carefully selected and
propagated for future trials.

After the various greenhouses had
been carefully inspected the company was
invited to the packing room where a col-
lation was served and after cigars had
been passed short speeches were made by

New England Flower Growers* Ass'n

There was a splendid attendance at the
regular meeting of this association held
at the City Club, Boston, on Feb. 19, A
fine dinner preceded the business session
and every seat at the tables was taken.
President S. J. Goddard welcomed all
present and briefly spoke on the aims and
aspirations of the association. After Sec-
retary George C. Noyes had read his re-
port of the January meeting, he gave
an excellent account of the convention
of the national body lately held in Wash-
ington, and said he was much impressed
by the earnestness and depth of vision of
the members present. He predicted a
great era of prosperity and usefulness
of the New England branch.

William Sim gave bis impressions of
the Washington convention, after which
Prof. J. F. De Chant of the Sheldon Busi-
ness College, Boston, gave an eloquent
and convincing talk on the fundamentals
of successful business, using the black-
board to make his lecture more under-
standable. He considered information of
association valuable and commended the
trite saying "Question much of the skilled,
it pleases him and helps you." The five
great clauses of law were fundamental,
statute, conventional, personal and organi-
zation. Too many forgot that honesty
was one of the great fundamentals and
lack of it yearly caused many failures. A
good saying was one he often q^uotcd, viz.:
"Know little about many things; know
much about a few things; but know all
you can about one thing." 'This was an
age of specialists; with florists just as
much as any other calling. Everyone sold
one of three things: Ideas, merchandise
or service. The greatest competition now
was in the giving of service. Decision and
action build business satisfaction. The
lecturer held ^ the attention of the audi-
ence and received a rising vote of thanks.

A representative of the Boston Heratd
who was present, spoke of the big Easter

February 26, 1921.

propaganda that paper was planning for
its Sunday edition of March 20. One
page of the rotogravure section would be
devoted to scenes in growing establish-
ments. Many of those present signed up
for advertisements to appear in this spe-
cial issue in which retailers and whole-
salers had already given their support.

Guests included E. I. Farringtou, W. H.
Judd and W. N. Craig, who spoke a few
words of felicitation. Secretary* Moyse
said he had received prices from a num-
ber of manufacturers and dealers in com-
modities handled largely by florists includ-
ing coalj glass, sheep manuire, paint, white
lead, hose, lumber, etc. These prices show
substantial reductions from jobbers' fig-
ures and cooperative buying of these and
other articles in quantity was discussed at
considerable length. Some of those par-
ticipating being James Wheeler, Andrew
Christensen, W. H. Elliott, S. J. God-
dard, W. C. Stickel, Gordon Fisher, H. H.
Bartsch, J. K. Chandler and others. Coal
prices paid the past season varied all
the way from $10.50 to $20 per ton de-
livered, according to testimony of members
present, the bulk paying $14 to $15.

It was voted to hold another meeting,
preceded by a dinner at an early date.
Carnations from William Sim, Littlefield
and Wyman graced the tables.

John Eisemann, the wide awake and
iterary Beacon st. florist, has had a steady
run of funeral work of late. For Wash-
ington's Birthday he arranged a special
window of rare old books; in the center
was an original letter of Geoi-ge Washing- |
ton's, flanked and backed by Cherry trees
and hatchets. Mr. Eisemann frequently
displays rare and valuable old books and '
letters in his windows and has earned the j
title of the "literary florist." !

The worst blizzard of the Winter hit \
us on Feb. 20, and blocked roads and de- i
moralized taffic. The Winter prior to this
had been of unusual mildness with very
scant snowfall. "February fill dyke" is
going to hold good this year, as many of
its predecessors.

The New England Florists Association
will give a complimentary dinner to
Thomas Roland, president of the S. A. F.,
at the Parker House, March 1.

Thomas F. Galvin, Jr., on Devonshire
St., had a very pleasing window arrange-
ment on Feb. 19. Masses of bulbs, Aca-
cias, Genistas, Cinerarias and Cyclamen
were effectively used.

A. J. Lake of Wellesley Hills had a
new house, 50ft. by 100ft., planted with
Asparagus plomosus nanus last Spring
which is yielding a fine crop. Asparagus
is Mr. Lake's specialty.

W. W. Edgar Co., Waverly, Mass., is
marketing some excellent Tausendschoen
Roses and French Hydrangeas.

Prof. W. J. V. Osterhaut of Harvard,
lectured before a good audience at Hor-
ticultural Hall, Feb. 19 on the Effects
of Light, Heat, Electricity, Radium,
Gra'\ntation, Contact, Mechanical Strain,
Wind and Evaporation.

J. P. Butterworth of South Framing-
ham has a splendid show of hybrid Cym-
bidiums in his orchid houses at present.
Cattleya Trianas also makes a good show-
ing as well as Dendrobiums.

The Market

The first real snowstorm of the
season started here on Saturday night
Feb. 19, and continued for 24 hours. It
handicapped trafiic considerably and in-
cidentally slowed up the cut flower mar-
ket. Business is dull. Roses have de-
clined with increased receipts. They range
from 4c. to 25c. and they have to be
mighty fine to bring the latter figure.
Carnations are dull with a preponderance
of white. A few fancy Ward touch 8c.,
the general scale is from 3c. to 6c.

Daffodils and Tulips have had a hard
time of it the past week, with sales as
low as $10 per 1000. Freesia is not en-
joying a very prosperous market. Acacia
pubescens is in daily supply. Sweet Peas
are moving moderately well with a good
supply; prices are low. Callas are in
over supply with prices from 8c. to 15c.
Easter Lilies are not cutting much of a
figure, as the demand is limited as well as
the supply. Cattleyas are in a moderate
supply and demand. Calendulas, Migno-
nette and Myosotis are going slowly.

Notes from Around

The regular monthly meeting of the
Florists Club will be held next Tuesday
evening, March 1 at the City Club.

made' of white Pinks and ferns, the happy
young couple just turning away, the nup-
tial knot well tied, with all the beauty of
the scene reinforced by the use of floral
decorations.

The Market

Feb. 21. — ^A seriously congested con-
dition existed in this market during the
latter part of the week ending Feb. 19.
The bright, mild Tveather heavily in-
creased the supply of Carnations and bulb-
ous stock, and the tremendously increased

receipts forced the bottom out of the mar-
ket. Values descended substantially and
at the close of the week's business there
was a considerable surplus on hand. In
Carnations, there appeared to be more
white than any other color, and these
owing to the absence of funeral orders,
failed to move. Daffodils found an outlet
at reduced prices for special sales.

Since the beginning of Lent, there has
been practically no call for white Eoses
because of the infrequency of weddings.
Receipts have been light, but the de-
creased demand has failed to absorb them,
a fact that bears out their greatly
abridged use in the execution of funeral
orders. Plenty of the good commercial
varieties of Eoses are available, excepting
Ophelia and Ward, the supply of which
is short.

The present plentitude of stock in gen-
eral, including Lilies, short American
Beauty, Carnations, "Violets, bulbous stock
and a goodly assortment of miscellaneous
items, has had the customary effect of
shifting the situation into the hands of
the retailers, many of whom have taken
advantage of the increased supply to con-
duct special sales. This is the first sem-
blance of a glut since last October, and
the change to colder weather on Feb. 19,
will, we hope, operate to restore the
proper market equilibrium.

Sweet Peas are as yet in light supply
and locally grown Asparagus and Adian-
tum are short of daily requirements. The
change in the classification of New Eng-
land ferns from second to first class ex-
press has caused a slight advance in the
selling price of that most essential item.

In Publicity Circles

A meeting of the local publicity sec-
tion of the Florists Club was held at the
Hollenden, Tuesday, Feb. 15, with Al
Barber, chaimian of the new committee,
presiding. The Publicity Committee,
which met previously, recommended the
formation of a retailers association to
work in harmony with a like body of the
wholesalers, and the already organized
local of the American Flower Growers'
Ass'n. This plan was adopted by the
meeting, and committees were appointed
to effect the necessary organization.

In the meantime, the local coonerative
advertising is inoperative. Retailers are
pretty nearly a unit in favor of the one
per cent plan, with the wholesalers as yet
unheard from. The growers have as-
sessed an additional 50c. per 1000ft. of
ground covered for publicity, 25 per cent
of which is to be diverted to the national
fund. This is a step in the right direc-
tion, but the amount is obviously inade-
quate for both local and national require-
ments.

Tlie Present Situation

Present business conditions are de-
cidedly different from those prevailing at
the corresponding periods of 1919 and
1920, and the local trade is confronted
with the necessity of adjusting itself to
the change. The cost of production has
not decreased a particle but growers have
now reached a point when their ranges
will_ have to be operated with increased
efficiency assisted by augmented output,
both in quantity and quality. The mar-
ket must be studied and waste eliminated.
Eetailers will undoubtedly have to reduce
their- margin of gross profit, making up
the same through increased sales at lower
prices. At all hazards, the highest qual-
ity in stock and service must be main-
tained and appropriations for advertising
increased.

The recent wave of unprecedented pros-
perity has enabled florists of mediocre
ability and commonplace methods to trans-
act larger volumes of business with more
or less profit. During this time weak
salesmen garnered big business by having
orders actually thrust upon them, and
many growers with an output of half as
much as their places are capable of pro-
ducing, both as regards quality and quan-
tity, have gotten by through dint of the
high prices. N'ow that conditions have re-
turned to normal, the efficiency of re-
tailers and growers and the ability of
salesmen, both inside and on the road,
will be put to a closer test. Mediocrity
will be forced out of positions of respon-
sibility and efficiency, like large Potatoes,
will come to the top.

Items of Interest

The next meeting of the Florists
Club, will be held in the assembly rooms
at the Hollenden, Monday, March 7.

Charles Felton, manager of the Felton
chain of retail stores, is recuperating at
Denver. Col.

Frank J. Kitzenthaler of Knoble Bros.
Co., who has been ill for some time, ia
reported improving.

J. W. Wilson, of the Wilson Florist Co.,
and family, and Charles Schmidt, retired
florist, are at present sojourning in Cab-
fornia.

Trade visitors last week were Robert
Groves, Adams, ilass.; Harold Lion, ^ew
York, and Ross Adgate, of The McCallum
Co., Pittsburgh. J. McL.

Cmcmnati, 0.

Ideal weather, of nearly Summer qual-
ity, was a great factor, the past week in
bringing down the prices of bulb stock.
Previous to this, the growers were mak-
ing a fair profit, but at present rates,
most of the stock brought to the market
does not realize the cost. Roses and
Carnations are holding their own at the
new range of prices and clean up well.
Novelty stock, such as Forget-me-not,
Wallflower, Daisies and the like, oiJy
serve their purpose in part and do not
have much call; Rainbow and Purity
Freesia are good sellers at §3 to 54 per
100. All other seasonable stock moves
slowly.

At this writing, the weather has taken
a bad turn and whether it will benefit
the grower in shortening up stock, or the
retailer, remains to be seen.

With the retailers, there seems to be
nothing of note going on; the usual spurts
of fvmeral work and flowers for the sick,
being the outstanding features. Blooming
plants are good property and an unusually
large assortment may now be had. Fancy
Cyclamen, Genistas, Cinerarias, Primula
malacoides in lavender and white, and
pans of Daffodils and Hyacinths may be
found in all the first class shops. The out-
look for Easter is good and, if the prices
are not held too far away from reason,
everyone should do well. We are face
to face with the fact that gou^ng will
wreck the industry and the coming holi-
day will give an opportimity to the real
business men to show their worth.

Odd Notes

JMr. and ilrs. J. A. Peterson, West-
wood, have returned from their trip to the
Southland. En route home, Mr. Peterson
bought a new "Cole 8" which was shipped
on by express. Cyclamen at the Westwood
range are the finest we have ever seen.

C. E. Critchell pidled a "Kroger" on ub
by getting married in Honolulu. We did
not think that anyone would keep him
from it nearer home. However, Critch
has a world of friends who wish him all
the best that goes with a performance of
this kind.

Harry Gray, brother of Walter Gray,
local florist, is on the road to recovery,
after a serious auto accident.

Roy Brunton, one of Joe Hill's skilled
helpers gave us a call this week.

Louis Wittbold, of Chicago, took in the
sights of the city with J. A. Peterson.
Mr. Wittbold's genial nature makes
friends for him, everATrhere.

H. W. Sheppard's store is headquarters
for all visiting florists. Here anyone is
gladly shown how it is done in an artist's
way. A large wedding for March 28 was
recently booked.

Brisk Business for Valentine Day

The demand for flowers, plants and
novelties to be used as valentines wa?
surprisingly good and the volume of sales
nearly reached the wonderful total of last ■
year when conditions were much better.
Considering the fact that very little ad-
vertising and pushing was done by the |
florists here, business was really remark-
able and very satisfactory from every
standpoint. The St. Valentine's Day de* ;
mand for flowers can be increasd to '
great proportions because there is a vast |
field here for constructive suggestion. ,
There are thousands of married men who
would respond at once to the suggestion
of sending their wives a Valentine if j
they could be shown how appropriate a j
plant with arrow, etc., would be and how '
it would be appreciated by the wife.

There was a plentiful supply of stock
on hand and most of it cleaned up nicely.
Violets, both single and double, were
plentiful and brought good prices. Sweet
Peas were rather scarce. Tulips, Jonouile,
Paperwhite Narcissi, Freesia, Calendulas

and and other miscellaneous stock were
in. good supply and the quality was excel-
lent. Koses, as usual, were popular. Most
florists featured blooming plants quite ex-
tensively this year and tuere was a splen-
did display of potted Hyacinths, Tulips,
Cyclamen, Cineraria and Primroses. Tele-
graph orders, both incoming and outgoing,
were fairly munerous and helped out con-
siderably. On the whole, florists here
were well satisfied. Business hag been
very good in view of the fact that these
are times that used to be described
as panicky.

Gathered Here and There

The passing awaj- of lirs. J. B.
Freeman and the subsequent purchasing
of her Superior st. flower shop by William
Feniger, Adams st. florist, marks the end
of one of this city's most interesting and
high class flower shops. The policy of
the store will be changed, for Mr. Feniger
plans to develop it into a headquarters
for seeds and bulbs of all kinds. Miss
Lucille Rice has been placed in charge
of the store, which will be known as the
Central Flower Store.

Helen Patten is quite enthused over
her St. Valentine Day business which
she reports was very lively. Violets were
in great demand at her shop. Miss Pat-
ten's latest hobby is applied psychologj*.

Schramm Brothers used the newspapers
and direct mail advertising to stir up
business and noted splendid results. They
had a fine display of potted plants which
they featured and which enjoyed a brisk
demand.

Tom Magee of the Scottwood Green-
house reports a fine demand for Valen-
tine flowers and had a wonderful stock of
high grade Roses and Carnations to
please his patrons. Tom reports business
as satisfactory under the conditions.

John Barrow and son have a fine showing
of Hyacinths, Daffodils and other bulbous
stock which are eagerly snapped up by
buyers in this market.

Frank Schramm has taken up bowling,
and is captain of a team in the Kiwanis
League. In his first game he smashed all

Possible Spring Visitors

W. E. Wallace, the well known British
Carnation Grower, is hoping he may get
across to see us once again shortly. The
difficulties of transport during last Spring
and that of 1919 compelled him to forego
the pleasure at that time.

From news just to hand, however, it
would appear that his trip is likely to
be further delayed, owing to the unfor-
tunate illness of his wife.

It was our pleasure to meet Mr. and
Mrs. Wallace at their home a year ago
and we sincerely trust Mrs, Wallace may,
'ere this be on the road to recovery. Like
the wives of many successful florists, Mrs.
Wallace has done much toward develop-
ing the business.

J. M. Bridgelord, the genial n^nager
of Watkins & Simpson, the wholesale seed
house, ia also planning for a visit, and
hopes he may make the voyage after the
rush of business ia over.

This Week's Money Making Wrinkles

FRITZ BAHR'

Time to 'phiee your order for Cannas.
To have plants of good size by the
middle of May, they should be started
during early ilareh. Still time to
plant Gladioli under glass and you
will want bulbs for outdoor planting
later on. Spencer Sweet Peas so^tq
now in pots, can be planted out and
had in flower weeks before those sown
outdoors. Order your seeds of an-
nuals you want for early sowing under
glass to be transplanted into frames
for Spring sales. For Easter, you will

S WRINKLES

need all kinds of supplies and maybe
pots and bulb-pans ; order in time.
How about the pots you need during
April for your bedding stock? This is
the time to purchase rooted cuttings
of bedding plants, or 2in, stock; there
is always something you are bound to
be short of.

If it is bedding stock plants you are
strong on, propagate and advertise in
The Exchange and sell your surplus.
Also consult its pages for anything you
are in want of yourself.

BAXTER'S NURSERY WRINKLES

Look over the nursei-y, noting the
blocks you desire to clean up and i-e-
plant this Spring. Make up a list of
this stock; also of plants you have
in big quantities. These are the plants
you should dispose of to get maximum
returns from your ground. Avoid having
a surplus of overgrown odds and ends
and that take up too much space and
prevent a systematic rotation of re-

stocking. Prepare a special circular
of thes*> item'^ and send to your tr^de.
Advertise this stock now in The
Florists' EscHA^'GE, you need not cut
the price if the stock is good. An ad
now may sell the plants at good
prices. Neglect this special early ef-
fort and the stock may be with you
at the close of the Spring shipping
season to be disposed of at sacrifice
prices on a "surplus" list.

DAHLIA SEED
This seed is raised from the most up-to-date
Dahlias in existence. In no place in the world
have Dahlias been brought up to such perfection
as they have been around San Francisco. This
mixture contains all colors and types of Peony,
Cactus and Decorative varieties. The seed we
sent out in previous years was highly praised by
all who raised Dahlias from it, but this seed is far
superior to what we have sent out in p revious years
The seedlings will commence to flower two months
after sowing and almost a month earlier than plants
raised from bulbs.

Mr. W. L. Ferguson, Smiths Falls, Ontario, un-
der date of Dec. 2d, 1919, writes us the following
in regard to our Petunias:

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you-
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about 8 per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quality each year."

Mr. Rudolf Nagel, Lancaster, Pa., under date
of Dec. 14. 1919, writes us:

"I had last year just a few of your Petunias,
but I am sure I could have sold thousands of them.
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of my expectation."

VEGETABLE PIiANTS AND SEEDS

THE DEENER TOMATO
■ Increase your Tomato yield one hundred per cent
by raising the new Diener Tomato; 30-40 tons of
ripe fruit to the acre. ,

This Tomato was raised last year all over the
United States and Canada with the greatest satis-
faction.

As smooth as an Apple and of a magnificent
dark red color. Single Tomatoes weigh up to 3 lbs.
each. The flesh is more solid than that of any other
Tomato. The fruit contains very little seed and ia
solidly filled out. This Tomato is free of the acid
taste and for dehydrating, catsup and canning it
is the best Tomato in existence to-day.

The Diener Tomato is blight-resisting as well as
drought-resisting. It will not crack from the rain
and will not rot while lying on the ground in wet
weather. This Tomato will grow in almost any
kind of soil and it commences to ripen the first part
of August.

It ia the greatest novelty in the Tomato line, and
it will soon crowd out the present varieties from the
market by its far superior qualities.

Price of the Diener Tomato Seed: Sample pkg.
25c.; one quari:er of an acre, pkg. 50c., one acre,
pkg. 51.50.

The sympathy of the entire trade abt
Baltimore, goes out to August R. Till
inger, in the loss of his beloved motit
Mrs. Jane Tischinger, who died of pi*
monia, after a brief illness on Feb i
aged 76 years. Mr. Tischinger's fi
great sorrow was in the demise of
younger brother, Julius J., who died
Dec. 29, after a fatal accident. 1
Tischinger's funeral was held on Tuead
Feb. 15, and attended by many relati i
and friends. Among the many flo ,
tributes was a beautiful pall, made '
Roses and orchids, from members of ■
family. ' |

S. P. Dernison, represenitng A. Hend
son & Co. of Chicago, III., was in to
Wednesday.

A large electric sign has just bi
erected on the North ave. side of ]
Herrmann's Jr. store. "Say it w
Flowers" is the lettering, and it but
brightens up the corner of this up-
date flower shop.

Wm. Keir has a large nursery of fai
evergreens, ornamental trees and flow -

on the Reisterstown road.

His big stock rooted Retinisporas, He ;

Robert L. Graham handled the deco:;
tions at the Hotel Belvedere, for The R
Estate Board at their annual banquet
Saturday evening. The floral effects w( ■
in true Graham style and Maryland col(
predominated throughout.

Palms and wild Smilas were lu
lavishly in artistic stage and side w
backgrounds, while the tables were &
tered with low black and gold baskn
filled with Calendulas, Jonquils, gold'
Narcissus and Pussy Willow, superl
carrying out the color scheme.

A miniature in flowers of the histoii
old Shot Tower — a landmark for genein

hall. This floral Shot Tower was receiv:
by all present with a rising vote, and"
was decided that the model be preserve!

Harry M. Cooke The Indomitable

Whenever I hear anyone use that word "indomit-
able," do you know what it reminds me of ? My dad's
description of Lincohi. "A man of great vision, vast
tenderness and indomitable will." Look at Mr. Cooke
and see how surely indomitable applies. No one but
Cooke himself will ever stop Cooke.

Ever been to Plattsburgh in the Winter ? If you
have, you know what Mr. Cooke means when he says
"that last year, 6 to 8 feet of snow drifted on one of
his houses." To which he added "that all that hap-
pened was two lights of glass were cracked."

This is a strong recommend for Lord & Burnham

built greenhouses and again confirms what we have
heard from many other customers, that a Lord &
Burnham greenhouse is the kind that stay built under
all normal conditions and many times have withstood
conditions abnormal.

You can come pretty close to guessing the coal it
takes to overcome the fierce winds that come skooting
down Lake Cham plain from Canada.

But with a couple of Lord & Burnham Company's
36-in. grate "Burnham" boilers, he has no trouble or
fears about keeping up the required temperature in
the greenhouses.

His friends know him as "Happy
Harry." which you and I know is
a mighty 6ne thing to be known as.

AGERATUM-FRASERII

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to our customers that we are oflerine
wnat will be one of the most vahiable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
■s a blue. ^a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
frraserii attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
n. high and was covered the entire Summer with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2l'-2 in. across, while the individual flower would be ^ of an
mch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

RDHOOK HYBRIDS have created a sensa-

Gladiolus world talking and marveling at their
unequaled beauty. Amateur and professional
alike agree that this distinct new race is unique in
habit, size of flowers, rare colors, shading, and marking.
The flowers frequently measure from 4 to 5 inches in
diameter and range in color from cream-white, lemon,
clear yellow, soft salmon-pink, to bright red and deep-
est crimson, and there are also light lavender and sky-
blue shades, and most charming, rare "pastel" and
art shades in wonderful combinations of rose, pink,
salmon and amber.

On the Threshold

lany discoveries have been made by acci-
i(t or through force of circumstances. Per-
\U'i the difficulties which beset the bulb forcer
nri/ be readily smoothed away through prepa-
rton of bulbs in cold storage, prior to plant-
in As is pointed out by Mr. Langeler in this
ucle, forcers residing in cool climates get
M:cr results than those in warmer centers. If
;il Northern European forcers, including the
Stttish (renowned for their forced Dutch
* and even English and Canadian growers
.■duce finer Tulips and Daffodils from

ii[ bulbs than can others less favorably
liatcd as to climate — there must be a reason.

1 previous article entitled "Blind, Crippled and
•■ I ipped" in the issue of The Florists' Ex-
Keb. 36, I laid considerable emphasis on the
iiilbs intended for forcing should be exposed
i:li>\\ ;l temperature as possible in the Fall to in-
e igi rous root growth. This point contains inter-
na possibilities which, it properly tried out and the
il applied, may well revolutionize the methods of
Kiim bulbs for early forcing.

1 II >,ime article I said that "crippled" and "green
c i"uld be caused by untimely freezing. These

.atiments seem contradictory, but I hope that
Its !ia\'e understood what I meant, namely, that
iicli frost early in the season will arrest the pro-

i development and, if the frost stays in the flats,
tibs mil sometimes not be really ready for forcing
1 it Easter time. The plants are retarded (root
.' iinuMit is stopped) by extreme cold shortly after
ila;, lUSt as well as they are retarded in another
■ > extreme heat before planting. At the same
;.a good freezing early in the season, as long as
0 nut stop root development, is of great benefit.

sychology of Bulbs

;. a \vell-kno\vn fact that Hyacinths will develop
pily in a glass filled with water. It is not so well
\|, liowever, that the bulbs should be started late,
i^Dec. 1, in a cool place, otherwise the results will

be poor. The HyaciiUh bulb appears to contain all the
physical elements necessary to perfect development into
the floweriiiK stage, reriuirins only water, air, and light,
to succeed in its purpose of producing a perfect flower.
But what has the late cool start to do witli this? Is it
because the flower within the bulb has been developed
more by Dec. 1, or because, generally, temperatures are
much lower by that time than earlier in the year?

Freezing Valley to Make It Crow

We all know that Lily of the \'alley pips of the new
crop will not force well before they have been thor-
oughly frozen, the flowers come fairly well although
slowly, but it is only after some weeks of low tempera-
ture that leaf growth develops properly together with
the flowers. Evidently the cold stimulates certain
chemical changes in the plant which bring about the
growth of leaves as well as the faster development of
the flowers. I am beginning to believe that putting
bulbs and plants in cold storage does not simply mean
"preserving them for later use." or "retarding growth,"
but that cold is a powerful stimulant to advance the
development and growth of plants and bulbs if properly
applied at the right time. Lily bulbs which have been
"on ice" (they really never have been "on ice") seem
to sprout much quicker than those not treated this
wa\ ; I do not know whether they also grow faster.

The Crocus Likes Freezing

Many florists, especially those from the old school,
like their flats and pans of bulbs to get a good touch
of frost before they are brought into the greenhouses.
These florists say that the bulbs force better after a
little freezing. Only just recently I learned from an
experienced private gardener that Crocus can be forced
to perfection as soon as they have once been frozen.
He told me that the reason for my repeated failures
with Crocus was that the bulbs had not been cold
enough. The pans must be exposed to the early frosts,
after that they can be brought into the room and will
flower quickly and perfectly. He said, he could flower
Crocus in December provided there had been some
good freezing weather early in the month.

The Cold Storing of Lilacs

Some years ago the florists of Aalsmeer, Holland,
surprised the European flower markets with astonish-
ingly early Lilacs. Before that time, some florists, to
get early flowers of Lilacs, treated the buds with ether
which temporarily creates a low temperature. The

r[iucing Our New Secretary of Agriculture

I Henry G. Wallace

Editor Wallaces' Farmer, Des Moines, Iowa

[|ry C. Wallace was born in Rock Island, 111., May
l66, the son of Henry Wallace and Nannie Cant-
I'Vallace. His mother was the daughter of Colonel
II Cantwell of Mansfield, O., who raised one of
lirly Ohio regiments in the Civil War and who
ililled at the second battle of Bull Run. His father
ilhe son of John Wallace, Westmoreland County,
ijylvania, and was born on a farm near West New-
jiid worked on the farm until a young man, when
<s educated for the ministry of the United Pres-
hn Church. In 1876 Henry Wallace was obliged
;'e up the ministry because of threatened tuberculosis,
rom that time on devoted himself to farming and
ifiltural journalism. He moved with his family to
ij:rset, Iowa, and looked after a number of farms
i he owned in Adair County.

nry C. Wallace was educated in the Winterset
I schools, spending his Summer vacations on the
5 In 1885 he entered the Iowa Agricultural Col-
! In the Spring of 1887, because of an emergency
«e of the farms, he withdrew from the college and
(charge of a large farm in Adair County, re-
ilng on this farm until 1892, growing grain and
ired livestock. He was married to May Broadhead
J 24, 1887. In 1892, at the insistence of Professor
i/ Wilson, who afterward became Secretary of Agri-
je and continued in that position for sixteen years,
r: Wallace returned to the college and completed his
i;, graduating in the Winter of 1892. The next
Ig he was chosen assistant professor of agriculture
j: college and continued in that work until the Fall
194.

^February, 1895, with his father, Henry Wallace,
iiis brother, John P. Wallace, he started Wallaces'
]er, acting as general manager and associate editor.
;ie death of his father, Feb. 22, 1916, he became
f-in-chief.

I 25 years he has taken an active interest, not alone
[iter methods of farming, but in securing improved
ess conditions for the farmers of the West. He
cted as secretary of the Corn Belt Meat Producers
jation for the past 17 years. He has owned and
ted one or more farms for 25 years, and in several
ent States, and now owns 280 acres eight miles
Des Moines.
. Wallace was a member of the Livestock Ad-

Aalsmeer florists had discovered that by putting their
Lilac bushes in an Amsterdam cold storage house for a
short period the plaiits would start the new cycle much
earlier than if kept in the ordinary way and, since this
discovery, thousands of cases of Lilacs have moved
back and forth to the cold storage houses in Holland.

Why Not Treat Tulips and Daffodils?

Now if dormant plants and bulbs like Lily of the
Valley, Lilacs, Crocus and Lilies can be stimulated into
vigorous development by the application of low tem-
perature, is this not an indication, yea, even a promise,
that a similar treatment would greatly stimulate other
plants and bulbs, especially Tulips and Daffodils, into
early vigorous activity? There must be something to
it, for the forcing results in Petrograd and Stockholm,
with their early' Winters, average better than in more
Southern exposures. On our own continent, it has been
known for a long time that Montreal florists produce
bulbous flowers earlier than those of Boston, and Bos-
ton often has them earlier and certainly better than
New York and Chicago.

A Chance to Experiment

Careful experiments along this Ime should be made
next Fall b\' florists in different cities. I should not be
at all surprised, if it were discovered before long that
with proper cold storage treatment, bulbs could be
brought into bloom much earlier and much more per-
fectly than is now the rule. Better than that, a way
may be found to eliminate the expensive digging in and
digging out of flats and pans, which, until now, is the
only proper treatment for early forcing stocks of Dutch
bulbs, and which is still the best known treatment for
later forcing as well.

Much more might be said on this subject, but I hope
that the above remarks will induce many interested flo-
rists to give some study to the subject along the lines
pointed out. I think some special packing for this
treatment will be necessary, to the design of which I
will gladly lend my attention if interested parties wish
to discuss this point or to correspond with me about it.

I think the excellent article written by Max Schling
and recently published in your journal with reference
to organization work and better standards for our busi-
ness is worthy of commiendation, and I beg herewith
to offer a few brief remarks with emphasis especially
on the matter of standardizing the grading of both cut
flowers and plants throughout the United States and
Canada.

No doubt many of us can recall the turmoil that was
caused when the matter of standardizing flower pots
was brought before a S. A. F. and O. H. meeting many
years ago. It was argued at that time by many of the
conservative men among the trade that it would be
utterly impossible to standardize the flower pots
throughout the country, for we well remember in those
good old days we had the straight side pot in almost
all dimensions and sizes, and only a few standards.
The standard flower pot, however, was adopted in uni-
form sizes and it certainly has been a boom to the
trade ever since.

There is no reason on earth why the same thing can-
not be done with reference to the grading of flowers
and plants. This matter of one grower having one
size for specials and another having another size for
specials, or one calling his best Roses "specials" and
another one his best Roses "select," no measurements
given nor adhered to, how can we tell where we are?
Why not grade them as numbers Is, 2s, 3s, or 4s, spe-
cials and selects of whatever we are a mind to call
them and adopt a standard for what these named grades
shall be; 6 inch, 9 inch, 13 inch, 15 inch, or what not?
Boston has the best system for grading Roses I have
yet seen in the cotmtry. If that, is the best for a stand-

<* a space of 3ft. in diameter. This was later cor-
:ti to read 50 sq. ft. of floor space, or 7x7ft. The
petition is open only to member clubs of the Gar-
^riub of America, and the prizes are offered by the

Very little more space is available for trade exhibit
purposes, the trade section being now almost completely

trade space will be reserved before the opening. Ex-
hibitors not previously announced are: Hanfling &
Son, New York; Markle & Co., Chatham, N. J.; S. H.

The Oificial Catalog is now being prepared for press,
and carries the usual support of trade interests. Any-
one desiring space in this publication would do well to
make immediate application for same, as the forms
cajmot be kept open beyond a certain date.

Trade tickets are now in good demand, and are fur-
nished promptly upon receipt of application for them.
.\ rebate will be made on all tickets not used, provided
the purchase covered a block of 100 or more.

Considerable optimism prevails as to the success of
the show, on the part of the management, every mem-
ber of which is enthusiastically confident that the show
of 1921 will eclipse all its predecessors in point of mag-
.jificence and attendance. John Young, Secretary.

Florists of America— Wake Up !

We have been having during the past few years a suc-
cess in the floral kingdom causing us to act as though
it were a natural condition in spite of the fact that not
many years ago florists throughout this broad land of
ours had to plough hard to get by. It isn't so very long
ago that with the rank and file in our business it was
some task to meet the coal bills when even long over-
due, let alone pay promptly, as is now the case. It
isn't very long ago that with the grower it was early
and late in the greenhouse, and not eight or nine hours
a day as at present. Nor was it* so very long ago that
a majority of the growers could tell whether they were
on the profit or loss side of the ledger. But at present
conditions are different.

Most everybody these days comes to town in their auto-
mobiles (plural) and also have their business in such
shape as to enable them to know what crops and varie-
ties pay them the best; which to eliminate, and which
to develop, and in the main are enjoying much de-
served success. Some change from former years as we
look back! Thank God for that. We all appreciate
that nothing succeeds like success, but we must also plan
for the rainy day. Many lines of business that were
very successful during and after the war period have
lately felt the reverse condition to the extent that they
have almost been wiped out, such as wool, leather, cotton,
shoes, etc., but the florists have not realized that they
stand on the crest at this time and that we have passed
the pivotal point of our unusual progress. We must
now check up and find out what the future holds for
us.

To the man who is planning ahead, whether he be a
grower or retailer, there is a desire to help continue to
progress and he knows that in order to continue his
prosperity he must make allowance for continued ad-
vertising to help create sales and build goodwill, and
that the essential means to bring this about is to ex-
pend a part of his annual sales to help keep the ball roll-
ing.

Many of the florists who were alert to the needs of
advertising and felt the effects of good times were glad
to put a part of their earnings into a national campaign
fund, just to help it along. Much like dropping a nickel
into a blind man's hat — it might do some good and if it
didn't it didn't cost much, anyway. That is the way
some entered into the spirit of our national campaign;
others, however, took a more serious attitude and gave
liberally, were interested in its work, and undoubtedly
reaped the benefits by tying up to the campaign locally
or otherwise.

Now we come to the point : The advertising that
the florists have been doing, whether local or national,
has helped materially in point of sales and also aroused
many to the needs of advertising. Many have overlooked
the fact that advertising must be carried on continually
to be of real benefit, and that if we lie down at this
time it means getting back to the old conditions of
years ago.

There are, however, too many men in the craft who
have felt its pulse and who wish to further continue the
work laid out by the National Publicity Committee who
are seriously and intensely interested, referring, of course,
to the men behind the National Growers Association
and those interested in the Allied Florists Trade Asso-
ciations. These men have seen the light and are doing a
big and unselfish job tryinp- to make others see the need
of a continuance of the work, and unless we all follow
in line we will fall back to former conditions. We have
made progress ; let us continue.

■The growers are realizing the good of national pub-
licity as well as local advertising, but the craft generally
have not awakened to the fact that business is slipping
back, and unless we fill up the coffers of the campaign
fund the florists' business is going to go back as well
as all other lines. In many sections it is very noticeable
already and many are asking HOW can we increase our
volume? One of the answers is advertise locally; the
other is to see that the national campaign gets agoing
before we lose the advantages of our previous ads in the
national magazines.

Advertising is a sales insurance. It helps speed up.
It makes us speed up and helps us to climb higher. As
Albert E. Lyons so well expressed it: "The higher you
go the more room you will find. The space below is
crowded and many a man is mistaking lack of ability
for lack of opportunity. You will be sure to find the
opportunity when you are able to grasp it. Nobody is
monopolizing that vast field of opportunity just over the
heads of the crowd — it is open to all comers — it is wait-
ing tc be occupied. The way is clear ; climb high."

Doesn't it make you think that after all we started
something toward the higher up idea and that we should
continue? Well, the growers have begun to do things.
May they succeed to the fullest extent. The cooperative
movements have also started. May they, too, continue
to further success, to the end that all may see the needs
and the good that applied advertising will do to help
more people enjoy more flowers. And those directly
interested will get better results generally.

Henry O. Havemeyer once said: "Business men fail
because there are a lot of them who are fools. We are
all born fools, but some of us educate ourselves
out of it." Let us take example by looking at other lines
of business and why they have succeeded, then ask our-
selves, "What have we omitted that they have con-
tinued." Your answer will explain the problem.

WE are now beginning our forty-fifth year in the seed business and cannot help but feel gratified at the
large following of customers that our many years of faithful service have brought us. The fact that
our customers come to us year after year proves that our seeds have been satisfactory, and that
has always been our aim — to supply seeds of such high quality that those who buy them will be perfectly
satisfied with the results they produce and come back for more the next year.

Then, too, a satisfied customer tells his friends about the excellent results he has had with our seeds and
more buyers are added to our lists as a result. That is how our business has grown. We have striven to
always supply the best seeds — our customers have done our advertising. To our satisfied patrons we would
say that our service in the future will be of the same high class as it has been in the past, and to those who
have never purchased seeds from us we say, give us a trial — ^you will then join the ranks of those who have
bought from us for years, and to whose faithful advertising we owe the success of our business.

Notes from Abroad

According to the calendar the Winter
is nearing its tennination, but little really-
Wintry weather has been experienced in
Western Europe. It may, however, come
yet and as Easter falls early there is quite
a probability of its being a "white" one.
From Italy comes news of heavy falls of
snow and great suffering among a popula-
tion little used to and less prepared for
such a visitation, but this does not appear
to have affected the seed-growing districts
of that country. Australia reports a
period of excessive heat, but how far this
may have affected the crops has not trans-
pired. In New Zealand, on the contrary, '
a cool Summer with copious rains has been
experienced.

All the wholesale European seed houses,
both in capital and provinces, are still
working at full blast, all the various de-
partments striving hard to satisfy the in-
sistent demand for seed from the retail-
ers. The office staffs are straining every
nerve to keep invoicing and necessary
clerical work uptodate.

In the midst of all this another of the
leading wholesale concerns of Great
Britain has joined the noble army of
limited companies, viz., the firm of David
Bell of Leith, Scotland. In this case sub-
scriptions from the public have not been
invited, but had such been the case no
doubt as ready a response would have been
met as has been experienced by other
well known houses further south.

Transatlantic Seedsman.
Feb. 14, 1921.

Storms have swept across Europe since
last writing. Rather severe cold reigns in
the North; a tendency to thaw and rain
is evident in the central districts, while
quite favorable weather prevails in the
South. Prospects in the Mediterranean
region continue good, and hopes are en-
tertained of harvests above the average.

In the Western growing districts, the
frosts in the earlier part of the Win-
ter are thought to have done some damage
to the standing crops, but it is impossible
as yet to make any estimate of the ex-
tent to which they have been affected.

The demand for vegetable seeds gener-
ally, is not so vigorous as could be
wished, though France reports Carrots
and Beets selling a little better. Contracts
are being busily placed for Lettuce, Spin-
ach, Cucumbers and Chicory. Also for
flower seeds, for which the growers are
now showing a much greater predilection.
Lucerne is in good demand, especially the
better Provence qualities, but other field
seeds are not going off well. It is said
that not very large breadths of Leek will
be in evidence this coming Summer.

Business relations between Central and
Western Europe have been to some extent
resumed, but the ^reat disparity and fre-
quent variations in the exchange make
anything like mutual transactions very
difficult. Transatlantic Seedsman.

Feb. 18, 1921.

South, which are arriving in pre-war pro-
portions, there is only a fair demand.
French fruit stocks are arriving. Prices
on Manetti Rose stocks for next season's
delivery are reported to be much below
those quoted the past two or three years
by French, Dutch and English producers.

MacNlfl Horticultural Co. Inc., WUI
Soon Move

In a conversation recently with Robt.
W. MacNiff, president of the MacNiff
Horticultural Co. Inc., who returned not
long ago from Miami, Fla., Mr. MacNiff
says, "I have a good word to say for
Florida and its Winter climate. I went
down to Miami, not for pleasure, but at
my doctor's command, and, though I was
in Miami a relatively short time, I got
rid of a cold and a cough which had been
hanging on since last March and came
back in good health and fit to face the
difficult problems of both opening up my
auction department for Spring sales and
of moving my business, which confronted
me on my return." Owing to the fact
that the lease of the present store of Mac-
Niff Horticultural Co. expires in May and
the store is to be dismantled and entirely
remodeled, this company will move about
May 1 into the five-story building at 196
Greenwich St., about one-half block from
its present store. In the new store of
this company Edward Holberg, who was
for 16 years with Vaughan's Seed Store
and is well known to the seed trade, will
have entire charge of the seed department,
to the development of which especial at-
tention will be given under increased con-
veniences.

Some 10 to 15 Holland bulb growers
and salesmen were on board the S. S.
Rotterdam, which sailed for Holland on
Tuesday of this week.

A considerable number of the seedsmen
of the seed stores of this city will make
trade exhibits at the International Flower
Show, to be held in the Grand Central
Palace of this city, March 14 to 20.
Among these are: The Atlantic Grass
Seed Co., J. M. Thorburn & Co., Maurice
Fuld, Inc., Wm. M. Hunt & Co., Roman
J. Irwin, Vaughan's Seed Store, Max
Schling, Inc., and the Muller-Sealy Co.

New York Seed Trade

Counter trade in the seed stores of this
city does not seem to be as active as that
of other years at this time, but according
to general reports, this sluggishness of the
counter demand is partly offset by the
large number of mail and travelers'
orders. Delayed shipments of European
flower seeds, now much needed to fill
orders, are causing much perplexity.
Furthermore, there are many shortages in
the domestic supply of flower seeds, which
cannot be made good with substitutes.
Gladiolus bulbs, which the first of the
season looked to be in oversupply, are
cleaning up well; the commercial white
A'^arieties are almost out of the market.
The demand for Canna roots is moderate.
For Tuberoses and Caladiums from the

Chicago Seed Trade

Albert Koehler of the American Bulb 1
Co. is now driving a new Buick car to '
and from his place of business daily. ' |

A. Henderson & Co. report a good de- i
mand for the seed of the new Giant Non- :
Lateral Aster. There is also a good de-
mand for Helichrysum seed in the sepa-
rate colors. The trade has gotten into ,
the habit of planting these _ on a larger
scale than ever and preserving them for
Winter use.

Chicago bulb forces believe there is
some underlying cause for the non-flower-
ing and semi-developed blooms of Nar-
cissus, Tulips, and Hyacinths so generally
complained of this year, other than that
of heating in transit.

Representatives of Holland hoiises all
strenuously deny theories advanced by the
bulb forcers but offer in return no plau-
sible explanation for the conditions com-
plained of.

R. B. Howe, of the W. W. Barnard Co.,
states that if the wholesale trade is any
criterion, the retail trade will also enjoy
a banner year. Flower seed is in _ es-
pecially good demand. Last year prices
went down about 25 per cent. This sea-
son there has not been a great change
but an additional reduction of about 10
per cent has been made in a good many
lines.

The American Bulb Co. reports the
movement of two car loads of Cannas the
past week. A constant demand is also
noted for cold storage Valley and L. gi-
ganteum.

New Giant Non-Lateral

New Introductions of Exceptional Merit

By crossing the tall growing non-lateral American
Beauty with some of the finer types of the Crego
-lass, an Aster with the type of Crego and Peony
tlowcrs and with a non-lateral branching stem was
iccured. These Asters attain a height of some
i feet and the long stems are surmounted by flowers
jf ultra-refined Crego and Peony flowered types.
The size of the flowers is phenomenal. The fact
that these Asters are without laterals causes an
.unbroken sap flow from the base to the one flower
It the terminal, thereby accounting for their im-
nense size.

CREGO TYPE

Peach Blossom Pink. A superb Aster with bios- '
soms of the most ultra-refined Crego type, the
petals being beautifully twisted and interlaced,

; borne singly on rigid, upright stems. The plants
attain a height of 2}4 to 3 feet.

bark Rose. A tall growing variety, in color a deep

; rich rose. Flowers of enormous size, wavy in -■
outline.

Light Blue. An exact replica of Peach Blossom as
regards form, size and character of growth, with an
exquisite tone of color.

Purple.

Price, any of above:
Trade pkt. $2.00, i4 oz. $2.50.

PEONY-FLOWERED TYPE

Peach Blossom Pink. This new Aster diflPers from the
Crego type in the fact that the petals instead of being
curled and wavy-like are regular in their outline.

A. B. C. Activities on the Coast

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co., left
Sunday, Feb. 20, to attend to the numer-
ous interests of the concern along the
Pacific Coast. Its bulb business and large
growing interests in this territory have
made it advisable to establish an office in
San Francisco. This arrangement will
enable the firm to keep in constant touch
with the trade west of the Rockies, and
will better enable it to supervise its ex-
tensive planting of Sunset, Rainbow and
Purity Freesias.

During the past season the company has
imported under Federal permits, a large
quantity of Iris Tingitana, which is now-
being grown on the Coast. A number of
the new varieties of Baby Gladiolus were
also imported, and are now being grown
under careful supervision. The company's
Freesia acreage is unusually large, it be-
ing the intention to grow these plants in
sufficiently large quantities to reduce the
price and warrant florists in purchasing
and growing them in increased quantities.
Iris Tingitana and Freesias are now in
full bloom making it easy to determine the
trueness of all varieties.

During the past season the American
Bulb Co., shipped three cars of Dutch
bulbs to the Coast, one each to San Fran-
cisco, Portland and Seattle. Lilies were
shipped in large quantities from Japan to
Seattle and San Francisco. Next season
the company will ship Lilies in solid car-
loads to the additional cities of Denver,
Minneapolis, Detroit and Cincinnati. This
method of shipping will prove a great ad-
vantage to their customers, who will then
receive their Lilies from the city nearest
them. As during the past year, solid car-
loads of Dutch bulbs will be shipped this
coming Fall to the various coast cities and
arrangements are'now being made for the
'dispatch of several carloads of Paper-
whites to those places.

G. M. French, who for 23 years maH'
aged the plant department of Pochhnann
Bros., Morton Grove, 111., has spent the
past three months visiting western coast
cities for the American Bulb Co.

It is the intention of the company in
cases where growing is not done under
its direct supervision, to negotiate for di-
rect representation by some of the best
European powers, including one of the
most prominent growers of Lily of the
Valley and Cyclamen seed in Germany, of
Lilies in Japan, and of French bulbs in
France.

The Bulb Trade

Commenting on the fav.t that the Hol-
land bulb growers are devoting much at-
tention to the American trade owing to
the falling off in the European demand,
a big London wholesale bulb merchant
writes to the Horticultural advertiser
thus :

We cannotagree, from our experience and knowl-
edge, that the cutting down of the European trade
is entirely due to the war and revolvition. We have
proved it as an absolute fact that the reduction of
orders to the Dutch trade is entirely through the
very high fictitious prices ruling at the commence-
ment of the season, and the cry of "shortage of
crop" that existed in May and June, 1920.

The sole reason of the cutting down of orders and
the small demand for Dutch bulbs, as far as the
English market is concerned, is through the Dutch
growers fixing their prices far beyond the value of
the varieties priced.

If the Dutch growers will only make reasonable
prices, and make it within the scope that a Tulip is
worth so much and no more; that a Crocus is
worth so much and no more, then there will be no
cutting down of orders, but entirely the reverse.
Bulb prices have gone far beyond the public opinion
of value, and are seventy per cent, over cost of pro-
duction today.

The italicized words at the end of the
above paragraph cause one to think.

Cooperative Seed Buying

A writer in The Seed World scei i
danger in the development of cooperati (
buying by farmers' organizations and, i
the authorities are apparently encoun ■
ing the system, it is feared that the se 1
trade as a whole may be severely affecti I

The writer referred to calls upon t .
wholesale and retail dealers to take ct !
nizance of the situation, as there ia j
possibility that seedsmen will eventua ■
find it possible to secure the farme '
trade only on a bidding basis.

While it is a fact that cooperati
buying organizations are already a I
factor, it is worth mentioning that t
effort to develop such a project in Gre
Britain was not attended with any gre
success.

The Agricultural Organization Socie .
supported by government grants, ma
considerable headway during the war, a .
a vast number of small holder associatio i
were linked up with the project.

When, owing to powerful oppositi
and need for economy, the govemme i
grant was largely withdra-\vn, the A. 0. •
and its protege, the Wholesale Tradi
Ass'n, found it impossible to compete wi
the trade on an even footing.

It goes without saying that cooperati
buying organizations can only exist if t
producers of the goods these organizatic i
handle, favor them at the expense of t >
legitimate dealers.

It may be mentioned here, too, that
determined effort is being made to cj
ture the school children's trade in see
We have before us a list of seeds
flowers and vegetables issued by The CI
dren's Flower Mission of Cleveland,
The seeds, which are claimed to be of 1 1
highest quality, are put up in one _«
packets and embrace many standard lin ;
The number of seeds in each packet i
given, and we note Prizetaker Onion, * •
seeds, Rockyford Melon, 40 seeds, and :
on.

This seed list is apparently being d:
tributed at the public schools {where\ i
countenanced by the authorities) , and t -
teachers collect the orders and distnbi
the seed which is shipped in one parc^
each child's order separate.

It is safe to assume that not a i
parents will be participating in t
scheme of cheap seed.

Stock for the Spring Months

Whether tlie coining Spring will be the
biggest we have ever had or not, we may
be sure if we want to do business, we
must have the stock to do it with. It is
during the next four montha that things
will be booming with the average retail
grower. People will want to fix up their
yards and grounds, plant seeds, shrubs,
vines, evergreens, perennials and other eo-
called hardy stock. They will fertilize
their lawns and gardens; someone wants
a hedpo planted, or may be just a half-
dozen Hydrangeas or a few Japanese Bar-
berries. One wants a few hardy Roses
or some climbers for the porch, the other
a dozen pots of hardy Lilies. All this
comes before the bedding season proper
starts, and means profitable side lines for
the retail grower in the smaller cities and
towns. Now is the time to place your
order with your nurseryman for what-
ever you may need in the way of nursery
stock. What you don't sell, won't spoil.
If you plant it out and cut back a little,
it will come in handy for another year,
and such shrubs as Lilacs, Honeysuckle,
Spiraea or Philadelphus will improve and
be worth more money. Stock up; be pre-
pared; advertise if you want to get the
most out of the coming Spring months;
cater to what people are in want of.
Everybody with a little garden or small
home ground plants something each Spring;
it is the time of the year to do business
and just how much depends on you. There
is still a good opening in most sections of
the country for florists taking up these
side lines.

Growing Large Bedding Plants

Almost anything you purchase now in
the way of bedding stock out of 2in. pots
will grow into heavy 4in. plants by early
May. Geraniums, Salvias, Ageratum,
Lantanas and Fuchsias are among them.
While you hot only gain a whole lot of

time in filling in your want.s, there is
another advantage in placing your orders
now for having tiiem filled after
Easter isn't always possible. There is
nothing like going over the contents of
your houses abovit this time of the year
to find out what you are short of in
plants wanted for bedding out next May
and June. There is hardly ever any one
who isn't short of one thing or other.
You should carry a complete stock and
nothing is gained by waiting with order-
ing. By the middle of March a 2in. or
21/^in. Geranium, Salvia or Fuchsia can be
shifted into a 4in. pot, making use of a
liberal amount of bone meal in the potting
soil. This will enable the plants to re-
main in these pots until wanted for plant-
ing out. Each day from now on counts,
and most of us are better off trying to
grow larger plants and less in number
than going in for a quantity of small stock
which has to be sold cheap.

Neglecting Small Bedding Stock

A large sized plant is what your cus-
tomers want when it comes to bedding
stock; there may be a few who are willing
to wait for a 2^ in. Geranium to grow
into a large plant, but most of them pre-
fer an extra heavy 4in. pot plant in full
bloom before Memorial Day. The same
holds good with other plants; size is what
counts and will bring the price. The man
who lets a nice lot of 2in. Geraniums
suffer for the want of a shift for six
weeks or until Easter is out of the way,
usually loses far more on such plants than
he profits by the sale of the Easter stock.
It's a poor policy at its best. If you
want to make money in bedding stock, it
should be gro^vn with just as much care
and attention as anything else and, the
man who can bring to the market the big
stock and early enough, stands the best
chance in disposing of it at the highest
price, while those who come in with their

plants long after Memorial Day, when
everybody is through with planting out,
stand the best chance of getting nothing
for their stock. The greatest demand is
always early in the season and the more
stock there is offered with not a very
brisk demand, the more apt late stock is
to suffer. Grow good Easter plants, but
don't make the mistake of neglecting your
small bedding stock.

Lilium speciosum rubrum

Usually, these Lilies arrive too late in
Fall to allow planting them into the open,
for they should, after being planted out,
have a few weeks to make roots before
the Winter season sets in. Planted out
by the middle or end of November, if
the ground isn't frozen, it usually will be
a few days later, and if the bulbs are
not rooted and well established, they are
bound to suffer. There is nothing finer
than a large group or clump of these
Lilies or L. auratum for the hardy border
and, if you like> you can now pui chase
some cold storage bulbs and pot them up
into 5's. Let them remain in the cold
house below a bench and, by next May,
most of the plants will be about lOin. or
so in height; just right for planting out,
and they will start to flower by the mid-
dle or end of July, keeping on perhaps
up to the middle of September. It will
prove a good investment; the plants you
don't sell during Spring, plant out your-
self, either in a bench or outdoors; you
will have plenty of use for the flowers.

Early Asters

If you want to grow a bench of Asters
under glass, it's time to sow seed now,
transplant the seedlings several times, so
they don't become stunted and plant them
out on a solid bed or bench by the end
of April. The average florist usually
hasn't much space under glass at that time
however to give up to Asters and, for

him it may be better to sow a little later
and plant out by the end of May. For
extra early bloom, with a good strain of
Queen of the Market, you can grow better
flowers and longer stems under glass than
outdoors. Another way to obtain early
flowers, is to sow about the middle of
March, transplant the seedlings into flats
and later on, pot up into 2^/4 's. By the
end of April, place the pots into a cold-
frame outdoors with glass protection and
plant into the field by the middle of
May. To grow good Asters, you want
good soil and a fair amount of manure in
it; you can never expect large flowers
and long stems in a poor soil. In order
to make Asters pay, you must produce
flowers better than the average and if
possible, a little out of season.

Easter Lilies

Three weeks before Easter the Lilies
should be far enough advanced that the
largest buds begin to show color; this will
allow a few days to harden them off a
little. Some growers by keeping their
plants at 85 deg. and even over, will
force them into flower, but such stock is
poor at its best and never satisfactory to
handle. The plants are weak, and the
flowers soft. A Lily to be sold in a pot,
should have a week before Easter in a
50 or 55 deg. house with plenty of venti-
lation and just a little shade on the glass.
The grower who finds that his plants are
not in time, will do by far better to let
them come along in a 60 deg. house and
do the best he can with them after Easter,
than to risk spoiling nice plants with
hard forcing and then run a chance of not
getting them in. Lilies won't be so
scarce that the market will demand poor
stock. A good many fine plants are, each
year, overforced and plants not in the
best of shape but that would have pro-
duced fair flowers, are made worthless in
too hot a house.

Beating the Sow Bug

Will you please inform me how to get
rid of an insect which has a hard shell
back and rolls up like a ball when we try
to kill it. I have tried everything I
know, but I have sowed some of my early
vegetable seeds twice already. They seem
to gnaw the seeds. — H. E. E., Pa.

— The pest we imagine is the Wood
Louse or Sow Bug; this is the only armor-
plated insect that becomes a ball when
disturbed.

It is not difficult to cope with if per-
sistently attacked. Where numerous, the
pest is troublesome among seedlings and
young ferns. You doubtless imported it
in some flats of bedding stock, or with
some pot plants, as the bug likes to hide
among the drainage of pots or at the
sides of boxes.

Being nocturnal, you can easily trap
great numbers by laying pieces of board
or inverted flower pots on the benches
and scalding the colonies found during the
day. As you are greatly troubled by
them, you will need to adopt various
methods of beating them out quickly. Ab-
solute cleanliness is essentia! ; allow no
vegetable matter to lie about in the
houses, and avoid having any kind of
lumber lying under the benches or where
the pests can hide during the daytime.
Drench the benches, and especially arouiid
woodwork, not forgetting the cracks with
kerosene soap emulsion, scalding water,
or diluted carbolic acid. Dust Bug Death
around freely. Lay hollowed out potatoes
about as traps and dip others in arsenate
of lead diluted with about 25 parts wa-
ter.

Phosphorus paste as used for mice will
also poison many, but chief reliance
should be placed on traps and scouring out
every crevice or hole where the pests can
hide. If you can do a little hunting at
night with a lantern, lay bread, bones,
etc. about and, after dark, gather up the
feasters and shake them into kerosene.

More Light on That Lawn Fertilizer

In reply to our request for more in-
formation as to his reported discovery
that the use of ammoniujn sulphate makes
possible a "weedless lavtn," Dr. Burt G.
Hartwell of the Rhode Island Experi-
ment Station sends us a copy of Bulletin
170, which reviews some of the work done
in this connection, and answers our ques-
tions as follows:

"I recognize the reasonableness of your
inquiry, especially about Sorrel. (We
asked whether, if the acid condition
created by the use of ammonium sulphate
were favorable for certain grasses, it
would not also favor the growth of some
acid tolerant weeds no less undesirable
than those which thrive on a neutral or
alkaline soil. — Ed.) It has not been our
experience with this nor other weeds that
they have been able to get a foothold on
the acid plats, whether seeded to Bent
Grass or Fescues. It was also of interest
to know that troublesome Barnyard Grass
was also excluded. Experiments have now
shown us that Sorrel does not really pre-
fer a strongly acid soil but rather that it
can compete under such conditions much
more successfully than most crops."

After studying the bulletin,_ which
covers the results of many years, it seems
clear to us that the discovery that the
daily papers made so much of, is not so
much in favor of sulphate of ammonia as
a heavy fertilizer, but rather proves the
resistance of various bent grasses and red
top to acid soil conditions. This is proved
by these facts:

On soil in which the acidity has been
increased by the methods of fertilizing,
the proportions of those two grasses have
also increased. On soil in which the
acidity has been decreased, the propor-
tionate amounts of Kentucky blue grass,
white clover and other more desirable
lawn plants have increased. Also the
total green growth on such a soil shows
an increase, which indicates that the less
acid soil is, on the whole, the more fertile.

It is not surprising, therefore, to fi.nd an
increased growth of weeds, as well as of
desirable grasses, on such a soil.

It may be, that in certain locations the
bent grasses are better lawn materials
than Blue Grass, etc. Ordinarily, how-
ever, this is not the case, so that we can-
not see any advantage in substituting am-
monimum sulphate for nitrate of soda or
even dried blood. Of course, with an ap-
parently incurable case of soil acidity (if
such there be), the logical course would
be to plant R. I. Bent and Red Top and
perhaps Alsike Clover, in the first place.

Cotton Seed Meal as Manure for

Gladioli

Is Cotton seed meal a good fertilizer
for Gladioli; if so, how much would it
be safe to use? Would it be benefited by
the use of acid phosphate? — C. A.

— Cotton seed meal no doubt is ex-
tremely rich in nitrogen but, owing to its
oily nature, we should hesitate to use It
as a general fertilizer unless the oil had
been extracted. We have never used the
meal and, for preference would rather
rely on bone meal, which is unsurpassed
for Gladioli, Dahlias, etc. Manures rich
in nitrogen are not good for and may
cause disease among bulbs.

If the Cotton seed meal is used, phos-
phate should certainly be applied also.

Perhaps a reader has experimented
with Cotton seed meal and can help out
on this proposition.

Camellias in Fashion

Reference has been made to the use
of Camellias in the old days by florists,
and to the fact that scarcely anyone grows
them for commercial purposes in these
days.

It is interesting to note that the
Camellia is greatly favored for table and
other decorations in the Royal household

of King George V, and that the flowers
are again becoming popular among florists.
Fifty years ago. Camellias were indis-
pensable to the fashionable London sO'
ciety but, in recent years, few outside of
private gardens have handled them. It
may prove that Camellias will, ere long,
be wanted in our markets as in Covent
Garden; how many Northern growers have
stock to meet the possible demand?

Hot Water Heating

Kindly advise me what size hot water
boiler it would require to heat three
greenhouses the following dimensions:
two 20ft.x50ft. 5ft. to the eaves, lift, to
ridge, 2ft. of glass on sides and one gable
end and the other house 12ft.x50ft. 5ft.
to eaves and lift, to ridge, 2ft. of glass
on sides and one gable end. These houses
stand side by side 3ft. 6in. apart. Also
how many lines of l^in. pipe is required
for each house for 50 deg. when it is zero
outside; Ij^in- pipe on hand. Also what
size feed pipe and how many for each
house.— T. N. F., N. J.

— If the boiler can be set in a cellar
deep enough so that all pipes can be
placed under the benches, each of the
20ft. wide houses would require 21 lines
of li^in. pipe, and the lift, houses 15
lines of l^^i^- pipe, which would give a
night temperature of 50 to 55 deg. when
mercury outside is at zero. The flow and
return connections to each house should
be 2y3in. , ^

If the boiler pit cannot be made deep
enough for all pipes to go under the
benches, you could carry a 2l4in. over-
head main through each house. Each
20ft. wide house would require 19 lines
of I3<iin. pipe, in addition to the 2%in.
overhead main, and the lift, wide house,
one 2i/^in. overhead main and 13 lines of
iT^in. pipe.

A 6 section boiler with a 24in. wide
grate would be amply large for this work.
— J. N. McArthur.

{Continued from page 532)

Conard & Jones Co., West Grove, Pa. — Trade
list offering giant hybrid Amaryllis, Cannas, in-
cluding the new "The President" and various
hardy flowering shrubs and vines. An abbreviated
list of Roses of several types is also included.

Jessie L. Seal. San Francisco, Calif. — An ex-
tensive list of new Dahlias, embracing many of
the most recent novelties. A large number of
those listed are of Californian origin and it is in-
teresting to note that a number of them are al-
ready marked "sold out," A novelty for 1922 is
announced on page 4, this being Amun Ra — The
Sun God, which last year was considered the best
seedling exhibited at the California Dahlia show,

Randall-McLoughlin, Seattle. Wash. — A cata-
log of decided merit, the paper used being distinctly
high-class and the illustrations as fine as any we
have yet seen. The subjects shown, literally stand
out. A full list of all the leading vegetables is
given, while flowers are given considerable space.
Gladioli, Dahlias. Roses, the latter embracing some
of the most recent novelties, hardy deciduous and
evergreen shrubs (even the now rare Rhododen-
dron) and fruit trees are listed. Farm seeds and
sundries of all descriptions are described, special
attention being given to Mag-o-Tite, the new soil
insect destroyer introduced by this firm.

N. A. Miller, Portland, Ore. — Wholesale and
retail trade list of Dahlias, including a number of
novelties of recent origin. The list is very exten-
sive and the descriptions are necessarily brief. All
types are handled, including the new Star Dahlia.
Gladioli are also featured and specially useful cul-
tural notes are given on the back cover of this
catalog.

Mills & Co., Mamaroneck, N. Y. — An abbre-
viated list of Dahlias, Gladioli and flower and
vegetable seeds. A considerable number of Dahlias
are listed -with brief descriptions.

Harrisons* Nurseries, Berlin. Md. — A com-
plete, though small, list of nursery stock including
fruits of all descriptions, shade and ornamental
trees and shrubs, Roses, vines and hardy plants;
Peonies are also featured.

Royal Palm Nurseries, Oneco, Fla. — Tropical
Grounds Book. Without doubt, one of the most
unique catalogs published. Deals exclusively -with
stock as can be grown in Florida in the open.
Reasoner Bros, have, since 1883. devoted much at-
tention to the raising of tropical subjects and are
responsible for the introduction into America of
many plants of economic value. In this catalog
one may find palms, shade trees, flowering shrubs,
bamboos, vines, etc., such can only be grown under
glass in northern latitudes, together with other
more hardy subjects. The catalog is well illustrated
and graphically depicts the effects one may obtain
by careful planting in the salubrious Southern
climate. Landscape work is a specialty with the
firm.

Harlan P. Kelsey, Salem, Mass. — Pocket cata-
log of hardy American plants, .\zaleas. Rhododen-
drons and general nursery stock. The list of ever-
greens and shrubs is very extensive but, with few
exceptions, descriptions are not given. Deciduous
trees and shrubs together with vines, herbaceous
perennials, hardy ferns and bulbous plants are also
featured strongly. Collected Rhododendrons and
Kalmias are a specialty and can be shipped in car-
load lots from the Carolina nursery of the firm.

Ulmus chinensis"An

vhich grow into trees of enormous size,
:.vhile the Chinese Elm, even at maturity,
•s but a tree 25ft. to 30ft. high with a
proportionate breadth. It does not,
qowever, suffer by the contrast in size,
rather, because it is so different from
Dur oxvn native type, that we esteem it
more highly.

Almost a parallel case is presented
between the Japanese Maples and the
large growing Maples of our woods
land fields. The oriental forms are
mere pigmies in comparison to them, yet
are they in almost as great demand as
the giants of the forest. The reason
for this is provided in the fact that
there are always more places and occa-
jsions for the small tree as against those
'of the large.

Our tree of the photograph here-
Iwith presented, stands quite alone, yet
is in close proximity to groups of other
plants which, however, do not have to
struggle for existence because of this
tree being nearby. The shade it gives
and the presence of its roots are not
of the overbearing kind, and so it just
complements its neighbors.

That it is a handsome specimen is
shown in the graceful symmetry of the
tree. It was in fiower at the time it
' was photographed, Sept. 18. Of course
the flowers are not discernible in the
picture, nor indeed are they readily seen

Ulmus chinensis — ^An Oriental Elm

The quality of cleanliness and the apparent immunity from attack of insect pests which the
Elms are heir to makes it an excellent tree for lawns of small size.

on the tree, except to the close observer,
for the myriads of little purple green
segments are situated in close forma-
tion right among the leaves and quite
close to the young wood. A few weeks
later these are transformed into little
bunches of small, rather flat seed ves-
sels of a pale green color, the seed be-
ing situated right in the center of the
little flat envelope.

So late in the season does it form its
seed that frost often arrives before they
can ripen. Because of this we are not
always able to secure fully developed
seed for propagating purposes. Some
good seed is obtained, however, when
the season is favorable, and if sown as
soon as ripe a good stock of this tree
can soon be raised.

It is rather slow of growth and to
secure well-shaped trees the young
plants will need training and yearly
pruning to promote the right balance
of growth. The quality of cleanliness
and its apparent immunity from the at-
tack of insect pests which the Elms
are heir to makes it an excellent tree
for lawns of small size.

As a tree for ornamentation, and to
afford moderate shade in the formal
garden of large size, it is quite the
thing. Most of all we think of it as
one of the best deciduous trees for the
cemietery.

Those desiring a tree of moderate di-
mensions for the burial lot can choose
no better tree than this, for its pretty,
small and crenated leaf keeps beauti-
fully clean and maintain a lustrous
jreen through seasons of drought as
well as in seasons of rain. Almost like
an evergreen is it till a near killing
frost comes when, in a very short while,
the leafage falls exposing the pretty
tracery of its delicately branched head.

The Aphis Army

There's no end to aphides we
might mention, but their depreda-
tions are less severe in trees and
shrubs than in herbaceous and green-
house plants. No doubt the latter
plants for more species. Suffice to
Chaitophorus or Norway Maple aphid which seems
to pick out the hottest day in June to pump sap from
the underside of the Maple leaves, exuding the honey
dew in a veritable shower. Then toward Fall we often
have that big burly fellow, Lachnus platanuda, the gray
aphis. You are sure to find them on all Plane trees,
be they on the street, in the nursery or on the lawn,
and they're so wise that when you spray a batch on the
undeside of a branch they sluggishly move to the upper
side where the force of your nozzle is less annoying.
Fortunately they rarely are fatal to trees. As with most
aphids, the force of syringing or spraying with water,
if done regularly, will do much to keep them under
control. The pesky sort that get on the roots require
tnore intensive fighting with the use of nicotine prepara-
tions. The application of a fertilizer such as nitrate of
soda is regarded as prejudicial to the life of these root-
sucking aphids.

This prompts mention of carbon bisulphid, the deadly
effects of which to underground vermin is well to be
posted on, but there is an element of danger to vege-

tation in its employment, yes, and to the person careless
enough to use it near an open flame. But it's fine to in-
ject into ant hills to destroy them and into holes of
borers in trees where the galleries of the invader are
too angular to be reached by the hat pin or wire. Borers,
as a rule, do not trouble the nurseryman who sells young
plants, but where old specimen plants are allowed to
remain, you must watch for them or some favorite
Birch may go suddenly. Pussy Willows invariably in-
vite this invader whose presence is not noticed until
the damage has been done and the top withers and
dies. Look for borers when other evidences are lacking !

The Azalea Lace Wing Fly

The Azalea lace wing fly is a pest
which made its appearance in this
vicinity a few years ago on Azalea
amoena. It infests the underside of
the foliage where its presence remains undetected
until it has punctured the leaves so completely that
they change from a glossy green to a dull brown, much
to the disfigurement of the garden graced by these
plants. Now infestation has extended to other Azaleas,
and even Rhododendrons. The lace wing fly will hop off
when you turn up a branch to examine it, which adds to
the layman's delay in discovering the cause of this trouble.
Syringe or spray the plants thoroughly and frequently
at the first signs of this pest, but direct the spray up-
ward to catch the underside of the leaves. Use a long
arm with upturned nozzle. The writer has found
Black Leaf and Imp soap most effective in suppressing
this pest. Frequent spraying is essential. The makers
of Black Leaf 40, by the way, have issued a colored
spray chart of insect pests telling when and what to
spray which is well worth having hung up for refer-
,ence.

The same treatment is suggested for red spider,
though, as with aphids, water alone will keep him from
making headway. Sometime ago in these colimins refer-
ence was made to leaves of Hercules Club, Aralia

The Florists' Exchange

An Artistic Nursery Office

Starting in a small way, some 20 years
ago, Samuel J. Clark is the oldest estab-
lished florist in Mount Vernon, N. Y.

The rapid expansion of his business soon
quickly compelled him to move to larger
premises and a few years later it became
necessary to purchase the entire building;
it is located on a corner lot in the most
important business center of the city.

Some 10 years ago, it occurred to Mr.
Clark that there was a good future in the
nursery business, and he, therefore, em-
barked in that line, in addition to his
flower shop, establishing his first planting
stock on a small lot that he owned. This
proved inadequate to the wants of his
fast growing business, so he purchased a
tract of land on Gramatan ave., between
Mount Vernon and Brdnxville, N. Y., nam-
ing it "Gramatan Gardens of Clark the
Florist."

Many years' experience in landscape
work has taught him that it is not politic
to display nursery stock in rows of per-
haps fifty or more of the same variety,
becuse this entails conducting a prospec-
tive customer on a long and inconvenient
walk; a waste of time for both salesman
and customer.

To overcome these drawbacks Mr. Clark
conceived and built last season a new of-
fice which, with its surroundings, will
afford the utmost facility for catering to
the needs of his trade.

This structure is suggestive of the Ital-
ian architecture. It is low and roofed
with red tiles, the inside overhanging
eaves forming deep shadows on the buff
colored stucco walls, giving a warm ef-
fect, suggesting Southern California. The
claasicat entrance, set off slightly from
the main wall, is decorated in two tones
of green which, together with the red
tiles and the buff walls, makes the whole
a harmonious study in color.

_ The main approach to the building con-
sists of a tapestry brick walk leading to
a terrace also covered ffith tapestry brick,
and extending the entire length of the
building. A flower box, forming part of
the stucco covered walls, is placed on
either side of the main entrance; and the
plants therein give further touch of color
to the whole. Decorative tiles have been
used in the study of the main entrance
to further accentuate this motif.

This office building is entered through
French casement doors and, the interior,
exposed on all four sides by groups of
casement Avindows extending to the floor,
is flooded with sunshine. Extending the
depth of the building and symmetrical
about its main axis, is the square recep-
tion room. It is flanked on one side by
Mr. Clark's private office and, on the
other with a balustrade separating the
general offices. This balustrade with its
balusters carved to represent potted
plants, together with the color scheme of
grays and buffs and lighting fixtures to
match, makes the whole interior unique.
You cannot help but feel that this struc-
ture could serve no other purpose, even
though its exterior walls are entirely de-
void of advertising matter.

Mr. Clark's suggestions for this de-
velopment, were carried out by Louis P.
Laskin, an architect of this city. In the
early Spring, it is Mr. Clark's intention
to reconstruct the nursery on the Grama-
tan ave. side, with a layout that will be
in keeping with his ideas of having sam-
ples of all kinds of stock right where
prospective customers may see them: this,
without covering large areas. Other
trades conduct their businesses largely
with samples and he considers his nursery
lines may also be worked on similar
principles.

l^ade Notes

Feb. 26.— There is a slight hint of
the Lenten season noticeable in the retail
trade, just enough to let us know that it
is there. This, together with the weather
we are now having, is beginning to pile
up stock a bit and causing a slight reduc-
tion in prices.

There is no getting away from the un-
changable law of supply and demand in
the establishment of prices but, it is up
to the retailer to see that they do not
drop beyond the slight margin of profit
allowed the grower for producing them.
Put yourself in the growers place and
allow him a reasonable price for produc-
ing your stock, even if the market is a
bit overloaded. ^ One of our prominent
retailers complained early in tne season
when stock was short, of the fact that a

Mr. Clark's private office — Note the French windows and carved balusters
to represent potted plants.

number of growers had gone out of busi-
ness and that if there was not a change
on the production end, the market de-
mand would not be met. With the pres-
ent cost of production, a decided reduc-
tion of prices in the wholesale market
will soon put others out of business. Un-
fortunately, the things a grower needs
most are not coming down in proportion
to some other lines, and we owe it to
those of our employees who stuck to us
the past four years to make no reduction
there. Putting on one's thinking cap and
thinking hard is good advice but, it will
take some very (I'd like to use a stronger
word), hard thinking to produce stock
much lower than we are now doing. Of
course, the man who stocked up on §16
coal will not likely have more than half
of that to pay next season but the $16
coal has, in many instances, meant run-
ning without profit if not at a loss. If
M-e all pull together this business will, I
fully believe come out of this readjust-
ment period in better shape than it ever
was, but if the retailer, the wholesaler and
the grower are all going to pull in oppo-
site directions, each looking out for him-
self only (in that dollar selfish style that
some unfortunate beings have) then we
are going to lose out in the readjustment.

News Items

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ritchy have
both been laid up with severe influenza
colds, but out in the greenhouses the
plants and cuttings are growing right
along and the sand beds are kept filled
up as fast as there is room.

Peter Bro^vn has every inch of space
filled up with his Geraniimi cuttings also
and, in addition, is now working on hia

two Spring specialties. Begonia Luminosa
and Salvia Bonfire of which he grows sev-
eral houses for the wholesale trade.

At Herr's, complaining about the
weather has stopped, as we are too busy
with cuttings and getting our stock into
shape for the production of Summer ciit-
tings, to even look up and see if the sun
is shining or not.

Mrs. Albert M. Herr, head of the Hor-
ticultural Department of the Iris Club,
held a successful meeting, with Mrs. Cle-
ment C. Kite of Philadelphia, as the
principal speaker. Mrs. Kite is a gradu-
ate of the School of Horticulture at
Ambler, and is an authority on landscape
design, garden consultation, garden man-
agement and garden lectures. Her lec-
ture_ was well illustrated with slides and
an incentive to good planting. It is at
such meetings as this that real publicity
is given, for most of this audience were
estate owners who have both the space
and the money to follow out suggestions
offered by this "word of mouth advertis-
ing." Mrs. Kite is thoroughly in love with
her work and her litte booklet entitled,
"Your Garden," while an advertising
proposition, should be in the hands of
every one with a flower garden.

Tbe Market

Feb. 28.— There was but little
change in market conditions last week as
compared with those of the previous week.
Vast quantities of stock of all kinds ar-
rived and by Wednesday the market was
more congested than at any time this

season, since the last of the 'Mums. But
by the wholesale houses making price con
cessions and most of the retail stores hold-
ing week-end specials, the bulk of the
surplus was moved, and by Saturday
night there was very little to be carried
over.

As usual at a time of big supply, there
was a lot of poor stock dumped on the
market that should never have been sent
in, and on which it was hard to realize
even enough to pay express charges
While at times it looked as if the situa-
tion might develop into a serious glut
at this writing the worst seems to be
over, and while prices were low every-
thing was moved out and nothing lost.

The Rose supply has been large and
with plenty of the short and medium
lengths to be had, it was hard to move ■
the fancy ones; in the end they did nofc
bring any more than good medium- lengtha
were selling for.

The long expected Carnation crop is on
in full blast with the big majority of the
blossoms of the white varieties. These at
times are hard to dispose of and will
bring the average price to the grower
down considerably.

Easter and Cala Lilies are more plenti-
ful and with the absence of funeral work,
do not move very fast.

The Sweet Pea shipments are smaller
than they were a week ago, which causes
them to clean up daily.

Bulbous stock is in heavy supply and it
has been hard for the grower to realize
enough on it to pay for his bulbs, let
alone his expense of growing them.

Snapdragon and Iris are arriving in
small quantities and sell readily, as they
are something different. Mignonette,
Calendula, Baby Primrose and Freesia
are hard to move at any price.

The price of cut ferns has advanced on
account of the increase in express rates.
Asparagus has been in heavy supply, but
to date there has been no surplus.

Among those who held week end sales
were McClements, The A. W. Smith
Flower Stores Co., Randolph and McCle-
ments and The Alpha Floral Co. The ,
street boys have been in their glory for
the past two weeks, but it has been a long
time since they have been heard from.

To Discuss Easter Advertising;

The Retail Florists Ass'n of the Pitta-
burgh district will hold its regular month-
ly meeting Thursday evening, March 3.
The McCallum Co. Jazz Orchestra will
entertain. As this is the last meeting be-
fore Easter, and Easter advertising will
be the subject before the meeting, a large
attendance is looked for.

Randolph and McClements were the
decorators for the Elks banquet at the
Wfa Penn Hotel Thursday evening, Feb.
24.

The E. A. Williams, Inc. windows are
things of beauty these days, with their
combinations of Spring flowers and bloom-
ing plants.

A. W. Smith, Jr. has returned from a
three weeks' trip to Porto Rico. Mr.
Smith sure looks fit and in good shape to
tackle the largest landscape season ever
booked by the firm. E. C. Tipton.

Albany Florists Club

William McGinn, of the Eosery Flower
Shop, was elected secretary to suceed
Louis H. Schaefer, who died recently,
further arrangements were made at this '
meeting for the annual flower show, which
will take place in the Albany Cut Flower
Exchange, March 17.

George Chisholm Returns Home

Geo. Chisholm, manager and landscape
architect of the Detmar Nurseries, Tarry-
town, N. Y., and his family returned
home after a three months' stay in
Europe, having visited some of the im-
portant nurseries in England, Scotland, ■
Ireland and France. Mr. Chisholm being
a specialist in perennials and rock plants,
found many things of real interest to him
while visiting the European nurseries. No
doubt he derived inspirations on his visit
and we may look for new ideas in the way
of rock gardens in the future.

Mr. Chisholm feels very much refreshed
by his trip and says, now that the good
weather cannot come any too soon, _ flo
that he can throw himself into the Spring
rush wholeheartedly. He has several big
orders for perennials and nursery stock
to be shipped early. T. W.

city wlio turned ^ neat trick which great-
ly pleaseif his employer, and showed that
he nad the proper sense of initiative and
had the welfare of the Institution with
which he was connected at heart. He
met on the street a friend whom he knew
had not purchased any flowers at the
store for a long time, although prior to
that he had been a good customer. While
many salesmen would have thought to
themselves, "That's the boss' lookout; it's
none of my business whether he buys of
us or not," this salesman had a different
view of things.

"Say, Jim," he said in a friendly fash-
ion, after greetings had been exchanged,
"why don't you come around to the store
any longer. You know we appreciate hav-
ing your business, and can give you the
right flowers at the right price." His
friend took advantage of the opportunity
to explain that be had not been satisfied
with the last lot of flowers ordered and
had discontinued buying there on that ac-
count. The salesman promptly explained
that the head of the store would have
been more than glad to replace any stock
that was not satisfactory, and that the
matter would be made good without delay.

"Come in and see us on your next or-
der," he said, "and you'll find us more
than ready to make amends."

The explanation and the promise satis-
fied the customer, and it wasn't long be-
fore he came into the store, asked for the
salesman who had spoken to him, and
gave him a substantial order. It was
filled, it is needless to say, "pressed down
and running over," , and the customer
promptly forgot that he had ever "had a
kick coming." Incidentally, the head of
the store expressed his appreciation of
the aggressive spirit which had prompted
his salesman to go out of his way to win
back the customer.

Keep Everlastingly at It

Here is an incident which may be re-
garded as a contribution to the psychol-
ogy of advertising. At all events, it
shows that the successful merchant in any
line must advertise continuously in order
to hold his own.

Several years ago a street clock which
had been at an important intersection of
a large Ohio Valley city was taken down
by the jeweler who had maintained it. It
had borne his name and address, and had
served not merely as a piece of good-will
advertising, through the service rendered
by the timepiece, but also to keep his

wtore fresh in the minds of hundreds and
thousands of passereby. When the clock
came down the newspapers thought it
enough of an item to chronicle the event,
one of them interviewing the jeweler and
learning tl^at his reason for discontinuing
the use of the clock was tliat, as it had
served its purpose of advertising his store,
it had no further publicity value.

The writer recalls the clock, the loca-
tion and the 'news item perfectly; but
he cannot remember the name of the
jeweler! This merely proves that the
clock was a,n advertisement just so long
as it remained where people could see
it; when it was taken down, the adver-
tising immediately lost its value, and by
this time has been completely effaced from
the minds of most people.

If you want the public to think of
you now, you must advertise now. Last
year's ad seldom brings business today.
G. D. C.

British Florists and F, T, D,

The following taken from the Horticul-
tural Trade Journal report of the annual
meeting of the British Florists' Federa-
tion is of interest. Carl Engelmann is
one of the few British members of the
F. T. D.

Mr. Engelmann brought up the ques-
tion of closer cooperation with American
florists, and an interesting discussion fol-
lowed. The attention of the committee
was drawn to the fact that boats leavmg
New York for English ports were always
exceedingly well supplied with cut flowers,
due in great measure to the Florists'
Telegraph Delivery Ass'n formed to link
up the florists in all towns in America,
bj'^ which means, urgent cut flower orders
could be telegraphed to florists in port
towns and subject to trade discounts. If
this idea could be initiated in England
a nd a register of florists in each to^vn
made a great amount of business could be (
developed, as at the present moment,
Americans do not know to whom to tele-
graph on this side of the water. It was
proposed to form a sub-committee to go
into this matter to give it their urgent
attention. This was carried unanimously.

How Does He Get Away With It ?

Editor^ The Florists' £lxchange:

I n.ote in this week's issue (page 489),
an article about Brother Penn's latest
window triumph and a photograph of same
— or at least as much of it as can be seen
over the heads of the bustling Bostonian
throng. The thing I want to know is,
why isn't Henry arrested on charges of
"obstructing traffic," instead of being sup-
plied with a policeman to break up the
crowds around his windows as fast as he
attracts them? If a Sinn Feiner, or' a
Bolshevist or a patent medicine fakir
were to create such a disturbance by
means of soap box oratory, would he be per-
mitted to keep it up? I doubt it. Yet
here is Hen Penn not only doing it, but
actually boasting of it afterwards

Boston streets and sidewalks are nar-
row enough, goodness knows, without hav-
ing shops along them cause any stoppage
of the current of passersby. Why, it is
awful to think of the number of fatal ac-
cidents that might have been caused by
"people bei£ig forced to walk in the street,
to get by the Penn store, where they
might have been hit by autos, etc., etc.

Fact is, any man with such a genius for
attracting crowds ought to be obliged to
set up shop facing an open place like
Copley Square, or the Plaza in New York
or somewhere. But, gosh, he makes a
feller sort of envious, doesn't he?

Birthdays vs. Funerals

The well known fact that each of us
is entitled to a considerable number oi
birthdays, but only one funeral, is some-
times overlooked by the florist We hear,
time and time again, of the "splendid local
funeral business" and how much it means
to the success of the local trade. It
should not be forgotten, however, that
a funeral wreath represents practically the
last possible opportunity to purchase
flowers for the individual for whom it i;
meant, whereas every day brings an op-
portunity to send flowers (even though in
smaller numbers at any one time), to the
same person, while he or she is a living
member of the community. These senti-
ments are brought out in the following
verses, republished in a recent issue oi
the New York Times, at the request of a
reader. It might pay to stick them ur
on the wall and glance at them now and
then, when making up local advertising
copy.

ROSES IN YOUR GARDEN
-You have'RoacB in your garden,

Some are white and some are red;
Really — I am very fond of Rosee— -

And I want them now, not when I'm dead.
Don't wait to show me your affection

When the earth is piled above my head.
In your garden there are Roses,

But I want them now, not when I'm dead.
Why wait until my labor's ended;

Don't you think it better if you said.
"Please accept my bunch of Rosea —

You want them now, not when you re dead 7
In your garden there are many Roses, .

And their blossoms -like our years are sped:—
Really, I am fond of Roses r, _. j

But I want them now, not when I m dend.
*****

M. T. Henry, Mamaroneek, N. Y., sends in ai
anonymous verse that reads:

If you have pny flowers worth giving,
Stick them under my nostrils today.

The smell of one bud, while I'm living.
Knocks spots off the finest bouquet.

That you at my corpse may be flinging,
When you findj have passed on my way.

Was the Charge Too High ?

Questions such as those related by G. K.
Pa., in Ms recent communication on pag'
430, issue Feb. 19, should arouse mor
interest among the trade than was raani
fested by the few replies in answer to :
previous question as to "What Would be i
Fair Price for this Wreath':" Page 2ii
issue Jan. 20. -,

E. B. G., Conn,- in reply to "Was th'
Charge too High?" writes us:

My price for the same amount of Cai
nations would be similar to that charge-
by G. K., namely:
6% doz. Carnations at $2 per doz. $13.0

3 bunches of Asparagus at $1 3,0

Chiffon Bow ■ 1-°

Total *17"

If the florist sendinE in the tolegrav
delivery order to G. IC, had desired I
pay but $10 why did be not give his ordf
to that effect? Then he would have gotlf
what he asked for and have had no re»»o
to be offended.

P. S. — We are paying 8c plus bo
(large) 50c., and carfare 40c. and reoett'
but %i per doz, for the Carnations wo eel

appear that the company was incorpo-

The Zetlitz Floral I'roducts Co. is not

Trade Notes

Feb. 26. — The past week finds lit-
tle change for the better; prices have now
reached a level that is -within the reach
of all. At times, we even run across the
fakir that sells Carnations at three for a
dime, and Freesia 25c. per bunch. Roses
at three for a quarter are also plenti-
fully hawked at passersby. We have ab-
solutely no respect for any wholesaler or
commission man who will drag his indus-
trial pursuit to such depths as this; its
the old gag of everybody for himself.

Roses are very good and sell readily.
■Three dollars, will really buy a dozen
decent Roses at retail now.

Carnations range anywhere from nothing,
up to $6 per 100. Snapdragon is on the
job again, and some excellent stock is
seen. Sweet Peas have taken rapid
strides and now some stock of unusual
quality can be had for $2 per 100. Callas
are more plentiful and the best stock
brings $20 per ,100. Bulb stock moves
slowly and most sales are made at a
heavy loss to the growers; if we are to
have bulb growers with us in the future
it would seem that prices paid for stock
on the other side should be contingent on
the returns.

The Lenten season is now well upon
ns, and regular routine business is the

tiou is indulged in, as to \v)\at the out-
come of the Easter business will be — our
prediction is tliat business will be satis-
factory to everyone interested providing
good weather prevails and advance prices
and quotations are normal. Many a holi-
day has lost its profits for everyone, by
viciously liigli advance pricfes being asked
and then an eleventh hour break that
brings the. grower nothing. Cooperation
of grower and retailer, aa to what would
constitute a fair pric'Cj as a starter, would
be a good idea, with later conditions gov-
erned by supply and demand.

The Market

Feb. 17. — ^AU reports are that busi-
ness has been good. Valentine's Day
cleaned up a quantity of potted stock of
all kinds and every one is pleased. The
consensus of opinion is that, even tbe lit-
tle advertising that was done gave the
day a good boost.

One paper had an editorial, reminding
husbands, sweethearts and others to re-
member their friends with flowers or
candy. The holiday was really spread
three days, as the 14th fell on Monday.
This gave us a rip-snorting Saturday and
a Sunday to prepare for Monday, and Sun-
day turned a cold rain into snow, which
fortunately was gone by Monday.

Cut flowers of all kinds are fairly scarce
and from the looks of things, a Spring
glut is not due for some time unless busi-
ness takes a slump.

News

Dave Lechtner is in the city in quest
of palms, etc., for Kenny's home of
flowers in Seattle. He reports good busi-
ness in his home town.

Henry Hette took the long leap to
married life a few days ago when he and
Miss Adeline Christensen were united in
wedlock. It came as a surprise to most
of the trade, as he took but a day off and
came back married. He says that if he
follows all the advice that everyone is so
willing to volunteer, married life will be
some success.

Lubliner's has a telegraph window
which " ought to be a good ad for tele-
graph orders. The decorations, includ-
ing an electric railroad, draw quite a
lot of attention.

Lawrence Doving and wife will leave
shortly for Fort Worth, Texas. His place
at Smith's Flower Shop has been filled
by Mr. Clark, formerly with Clarke Bros,

H. N.

St. Paul, Minn.

Easter stock is coming alojQg nicely.
Pot Roses and Lilies look fine and will
be in good condition for Easter if we
have sunshine. Hydrangeas are also com-
ing on well. Bulbs are somewhat of a
drug on the market at present; many are
coming blind and prices of $4 and §5 per
hundred are received for even the best.

Merriam Park Floral Co., has sOme nice
Forget-me-nots and fine Tulips.

Seed sowing, making cuttings and pick-
ing out seedlings, is the main job now-
adays

Holm & Olson have some mammoth
Pansies potted for Easter trade.

Two good catalogs reaching our desk
this week, are a well illustrated vegetable
catalog from the Wedge Nursery at Albert
Lea, and an ornamental catalog from
Holm & Olson, St. Paul.
Cojinty Club Meeting

A. M. Brand, of the Brand Nursery,
Faribault, gave an interesting talk on
Peonies before 100 members of the Ram-
sey Coimty Garden Club, Feb. 24.

Mr. Brand's father, 0. F. Brand, who
recently died iii California, began his
Peony work about 50 years ago.

Twenty-five years ago he had one of
the best collections of Peonies in this
country. A. M. Brand worked with him
and lb or 12 years ago took over the
Ppfiny work.

Some 800,000 to 1,000,000 seedlings have
been raised in this nursery to get the 50
or so good sorts which they have put on
the market; Mr. Brand has probably

Minnesota State Florist Association

Annual Banquet

This association had a number of nice
trips and gatherings the past year, but
none were more enjoyable than the ban-
quet on Thursday evening, Feb. 17. It
was held in the St. Paul Athletic Club
and a more pleasant place would be hard
to findi The tables were nicely deco-
rated, the service was excellent, the music
good and every one of the 125 florists and
ladies present, seemed to have a good
time. Practically every firm in the Twin
Cities was represented and, members of
the trade were present from Fargo, N. D.,
Aberdeen, S. D., and several Western
towns. Many florists who have not at-
tended gatherings of this sort for years
were present. .

After a fine dinner and some good vocal
selections, President Max Kaiser called
the meeting to order* and, after a few
brief words of welcome, introduced Supt.
Wirth of Minneapolis aa toastmaster.

Mr. Wirth gave a brief history of the
club and introduced J. F. Ammann, secre-
tary of the National Flower Growers'
Ass'n, who gave a splendid address on
organization.

He used as examples, the National
Flower Growers' Ass'n, F. T. D. and S.
A. P.

He called attention to strong organisa-
tions in other lines of work and applied
the lessor^. to the florist business.

Florists must maintain strong organi-
zations for publicity and other purposes.

It is cheaper and more effective to
advertise cooperatively, than every man
for himself.

Geo. Asmus, of Chicago, gave a good
talk on publicity and flower shows. He
also showed some good slides, illustrating
publicity methods used in Chicago. He
emphasized the fact that something was
wrong when flowers were high priced one
day, low the next. Sudden changes were
not good for any trade. He thought the
public would use more flowers if they
heard more about them and he advocated
.systematic publicity not only on special
days, but at other times, especially
when flowers were plentiful. Those pres-
ent:

Michael Barker, of Chicago;- W. B.
Shotwell, Fargo. N. D.; B. F. Siebrecht,
Aberdeen, S. D.; E. F. Gertie, Fargo,
N. D.; C. D. Kinsman, Austin, Minn.; J.
J. Le Borins, Duluth, Minn.;, Hugh Will,
Minneapolis, Minn.; Hans Rosacker,
Minneapolis, Minn.; Paul KHngspom,
Chicago, 111., and Le Roy Cady, St. Paul,
Minn. O. J. Olson read letters and
messages from out of town friends unable
to be present.

Baur and Steinkamp, of Indianapolis,
Ind., sent sopae fine Carnations; among
them Edna, Red Rosalia and Harvester.
The Chicago Flower Growers' Ass'n sent
a fine lot of Premier and Melody Roses.

Much of the success of this meeting
was due to 0. J. Olson (who handled the
St. Paul arrangements). Max Kdiser,
Theodore Wirth,- Hans Rosacker and
Hugh Will.

The association is in fine condition; it
has nearly doubled its membership this
year and has had some fine meetings.
Every Minnesota florist should be a mem-

Fte Seed Ttissle

Efforts on the part of the Senate
t^knock out the appropriation of $360,-
01 for the annual Congressional seed dis-
tiiution were responsible for consider-
ae delay in the movement of the agri-
c;:nral appropriation bill for the fiscal
y r, beginning July 1, next. Conferees
r resenting the House of Representatives
raised to permit the elimination of the
itn, while the Senate was equally deter-
nlied that it should not be included. As
Bicsult, it was one of the points in the
nisure on which the conferees could not
a ee and, the House voting to insist
uj'Q the retention of the item, it was
Djessary to send the bill back for further
cjferences.

ivs reported upon by the Conference
(^nmittee, the measure contained a num-
h; of changes agreed upon by both
Buses. Among these changes were sev-
e;l increases in appropriations, and pro-
vons for some new work, one of the
kjer being a fund of $9,000 for the use
o.the weather bureau in conducting ob-
si rations, and investigations, and sending
Q reports, forecasts, warnings and ad-
y^is for the protection of horticultural
ilirests from frost damage.

"he committee agreed to retain the in-
Case provided by the Senate for the
Ireau of Plant Industry's investigations
0 plant diseases and pathological collec-
tis, and $72,000 is provided for that
rpose, instead of the $62,020 x>rovided
t the House, but with, the provision that
S ,000 of the fund is to be used for re-
E,rch in bro\vn-rot and kindred diseases
Q,Peach trees.

i^he fund for the investigation of dis-
ees of Cotton, Potatoes, truck and for-
&: crops, and drug and related plants,
^5 increased by the committee from $95,-

^e appropriation for the investigation

t'lmised, $56,860 being provided instead
o $51,860, as passed by the House, or

Jrhe Senate conferees were unable to
i'!uce the House to accept their cut of
%>,000 in the fund for soil-bacteriology
al plant-nutrition investigations, and the
cjginal House appropriation of $50,000
T^s retained. The fund for the investi-
g;ion and improvements of cereals and
t: investigation of the cultivation and
beding of flax for seed purposes, includ-
i; a study of flax diseases, was com-
r>mised, $379,705 being agreed upon in-
£ ad of $359,705 as set by the House and
^)1,705 as amended by the Senate.

jChe House agreed to the cut of $5000
flde by the Senate in the fund for th,e
^tivation and care of the Washington
^umds and gardens of the Department
^i Agriculture, and only $15,000 will be
^lilable for that purpose next year.

i^d by the Bureau of Entomology in an
3 '■estigation of insects affecting green-

iLise florists* stock and other ornamental

plants \va.H refimt-d by the House, and was
withdrawn.

The elimination by the Senate of the
provision for Congrossional Hced wad tlie
signal for the iihuuI outburst of oratory
in the House of RopreHentativcs, mem-
berH of that body telling how many re-
quests they wore receiving for seeds, from
both city and farming districtn and liow
important it was that tlie distribution be
continued. •

Two or three members, notably Repre-
sontativew Begg of Ohio, Anderson of
Minnesota, and McLaughlin of Nebraska,
spoke against the continuation of this
appropriation. Mr. Begg declared that
the whole thing was a "hoax." "The
seeds are not govt-rnmontally tested as
pure seeds," he said. "It is a fake to say
tliat they are sent out for test purposes,
because no test or report is required. Not
a single bit of advancement ever came
from the sending out of governmental
free seeds to either the Department of
Agriculture or agriculture generally in
this country. The production of this
country has not been increased one dollar
by sending out these free seeds."

Efforts on the part of Representative
Anderson to have the appropriation re-
duced to $250,000 were unsuccessful, and
by a vote of 198 to 134 the House deter-
mined to insist upon the inclusion of the
full appropriation of $360,000 in the bill.

The House also voted to agree to the
Senate amendment, providing for loans
for farmers in drought-stricken areas, for
the purchase of Wheat, Oats and Barley
for seed purposes, but qualified its agree-
ment by an amendment reducing the fund
from $5,000,000 to $2,000,000 and provid-
ing that flaxseed should be included among
the commodities for which loans could be
secured. E. A. D,

Representative Gudes'sEflortsNegatived

Just a word to advise you that the
S. A. F. and O. H. Washington repre-
sentative is still on the job.

In reference to the $15,000 asked for
last November, through the Secretary of
Agriculture, for the purpose of fighting
the Strawberry Beetle, Rose Midge and
other indoor greenhouse pests, it should
be borne in mind that no appropriation
whatsoever, has been made for these
items.

On calling on the Secretary in Novem-
ber, I learned that his estimates had al-
ready gone in, but he said that he would
not oppose an appropriation of $15,000
if the heads of the different departments
saw fit to recommend it. Whereupon I
went to the chairman of the sub-commit-
tee on appropriations for the Agriculture
Department, Sidney Anderson, of Minne-
sota. After talking with him for quite
a while, he said that they were about to
cut down appropriations and not raise
them. He left me, however, with some
encouragement, and I thought the $15,000
would be put into the bill instead of the
$3000. Not only did he cut out the $15,-
000, but the $3000 also. So the bill went
to the Senate committee with no appropri-
ation at all to fight the insects with.

I then got busy with Senator Gronna
and under date of Feb. 10, I called on the
Senator by appointment and stated the
case. He said the bill had about been
finished and was about to go to con-
ference, but if we could show how the
money should be spent, there was a pos-
sibility of getting it in as a Senate amend-
ment. I immediately went to see Prof.
Howard to see how the money was to be
spent. He gave me an itemized state-
ment of it and for the first time I could
see that $15,000 was not enough, but that
$20,000 could be spent to very good ad-
vantage. I therefore, recommended the
$20,000 as an amendment to the Senate
bill.

Senator Gronna left me with the im-
pression that something would be done.
Working through the kind offices of his
secretary, I was informed by telephone
that the bill passed the Senate with an
amendment of $20,000 to fight the in-
sects. I am now working hard on the
House members to see that the appropria-
tion stays in the conference and that it
will pass the House and become a law.

The Market

Mar. 1. — Every year there are "up
and dovm. weeks" in the local market dur-
ing Lent. The past one was a "down"
week, along certain lines; viz., Violets,
Freesias, and short stemmed Sweet Peas,
and much of this stock found its way to
the street. There was a lot of other
stock there, too, but that was not local;
Roses and Carnations were handled by the
street vendor, but where the stock came
from I do not know. There was, however,
no surplus of Roses and Carnations to
speak of in the local market.

This week some lines have shortened up,
and the wholesale houses are not quite so
crowded. Business is fair, and with a
trend to steady prices. Roses and Car-
nations are holding to the prices of last
week; the supply is fair, but if there was
a busy day among the retailers this Rose
and Carnation line would be scarce. Lilies
are holding up well. Bulbous stock has
tightened up somewhat. Hyacinths, Tu-
lips and Narcissus have advanced slightly
in price. There is an oversupply of
Southern greens; Asparagus shipments are
very heavy and stock is hard to move.
Taking it all in all, the market is fairly
good, with easy prices.

Sweet Pea Bud Drop

The Purdue Experimental Station, La
I* ayette, Ind., has in recent years devoted
considerable attention to Sweet Pea stud-
ies, and H. D. Brown in discussing %ud
drop states that the studies this Winter
indicate that lack of light causes most of
the drop. It was found that artificial
light during periods of cloudy weather
will greatly increase the supply of
flowers.

Buds began to drop on Jan. 24 and
eontmued to do so during the dull
weather, until Feb. 8, when a 100-watt
Mazda light was installed above 12 plants;
within four days, 20 flowers were gather-
ed from these plants, although the weather
continued dull. Twelve other plants of
the same variety without light, in the
same period, failed to develop any color
in the buds, which serves to suggest that
artificial light hastens the development of
the buds, and thereby checks the tendency
to drop.

Mr. Brown states that the evidence is
not entirely conclusive but, it is worth
following up, and he thinks commercial
growers might well experiment along this
line.

Certainly the escperiments at LaFayette
opens up a new vista regarding the annoy-
ing "bud drop" which, in a Winter like
the present, causes considerable loss.

The grower who is able to cut plenty
of flowers during continuous dull weather
is a rarity and, the fact that bud drop
is most prevalent in dull weather, has
long convinced everyone that the two go
together, inasmuch as neither increased
heat nor ventilation will check the trouble.

Many theories have, in the past, been
advanced_ regarding 'Tiud drop"; tempera-
ture variation has been the considered
cause, and this certainly is the case with
outdoor grown plants.

The writer has observed such occur-
rences: a drop of 15 deg. or more, fol-
lowed by heavy rains, has caused plants
to cast off every bud so that no flx>wera
were again available for about 10 days.
When forming their first buds, too. Sweet
Peas plants are apt to start casting ofi
but, this has usually been attributed to
excess of vigor, the plants being grown on
exhibition lines. In such cases, a little
dusting of muriate of potash and super-
phosphate of lime has invariably checked
this tendency.

It must not be overlooked that anthra-
nose disease can cause bud drop on a large
scale, while too much nitrogen may bring
about a like result.

Happiness, some one has said, is a good deal like
honey: you can't hand it to others without having at
least a little of it stick to yourself. So it is, it seems
to us, with flowers. Whosoever receives them is made
the happier thereby; yet who can deny — if he has ever
stopped to think of it — that he who raises, handles and
sells those flowers is equally the richer, the better and
the happier for having inhaled their fragrance, beheld
their glorious colorings and touched their exquisite
texture. Another good reason for us to be joyful and
proud of our trade.

Somehow, spraying is usually overlooked as a fac-
tor in the success of the nurseryman. The planting of
seeds, budding, grafting, pruning, tree digging, selling,
advertising — all these are common subjects for discus-
sion. Yet spraying may make all the difference be-
tween poor stock and — the opposite. Realizing this,
Mr. Baxter has set down some valuable facts and prac-
tical hints on this significant subject — which we have
been presenting in our Nursery Department of this and
the previous issue. Have you read the articles? If
not it may be worth your while to give them the
"once over."

We commend to the notice of our readers, the letter
on another page wherein J. F. Ammann ably discusses
the question of standardizing grades of cut flowers
and plants. The latter perhaps, more than the former,
requires the greatest attention, for it must be confessed,
that size of pot is no criterion of the size or quality of
the plant. The mere shifting of a plant from a 4in. to
a 6in. pot does not make it worth twice as much, yet
the impression gained from the statement that plants
are in 6in. pots is that they are about double the sfze
of 4in. stock. Actually, stock for sale in pots should
be fairly well established, with roots well permeating
the soil and with a top proportionately large.

The skill of the grower, of course, plays a big part
and, if a grower can produce as good a plant in a 4in.
pot as another can in a Sin. it must not be assumed
that the Sin. stock will make more money when it meets
the 4in. Likely as not, it would make less, because big
pots cut no ice mth the florist. We have seen Cycla-
men flowering in Sin. pots as finely as others in 4in.;
and Marguerites and Geraniums in 4in. that equaled
others in pots two sizes larger.

There certainly should be, however, a recognized
standard, so that when a florist orders 4in. Geraniums,
he knows he will get at least so many growths and
flowers and a plant of average width and height.

The question of cut flowers is perhaps not so com-
plicated. There is some fairly well recognized stand-
ard of grading Roses, although we must own to a
doubt as to stem length being a definite factor of qual-
ity and size. In Carnations both stems and size count
but, as in Roses, we need a recognized standard for
different varieties. The extra select Pink Delight for
instance can never measure up to Laddie for size. The
question of bunched flowers, too, affords an interesting
problem. We know what to expect in some lines but
in others the bunch may be gauged by the eye or span
of one's fingers. There should be some recognized
standard for all lines, then buying and selling of plants
and flowers will cease to be as haphazard as it is now.

The New York Flower Show opens at the Grand
Central Palace a week from this Monday, viz. March
14. We cannot well conceive how any seedsman, nur-
seryman or florist, whether employer or employee,
within a hundred miles of the Grand Central Palace,
can be satisfied without a good, satisfactory look in.
The conunittee in charge has certainly done all in its
power to make this, the final show in the Palace, su-
perior to any of its predecessors, so it is good to note
that every indicator points to one grand success. As
we noted last week it is now the turn of the trade at
large to show its appreciation of the work done on its
behalf by influencing all its friends to visit the show —
as well as through their own personal attendance.

Just think how Fate works out its compensations,
and be thankful ! March 15 is the final date upon which
to make your income tax returns and your initial pay-
ment thereon. But, look! If you speed up a bit and
mail your report and your check on Sunday, the 13th,
you can set out for the Grand Central Palace and the
New York Flower Show, early on the morning of the
14th. And, once there, you will forget all about income
taxes and other unpleasant things, and will revel in the
instructive, enjoyable, delightful features of a veritable
flowery kingdom. Moreover, if you make the most of
the opportunities offered and take to heart what you
can learn there, and then put it into practice later on,
be assured you will so increase your business and aug-
ment your profits that a little thing like an income tax
will be a mere bagatelle in your expense accoimt.

Cooperative and Standard Practice
Service

The Illinois State Nurserymens Association, all honor
and credit to it, has made a start in the direction of
cost accounting and standardizing the business methods
and practices of the nurserymen, looking toward a stabili-
zation of conditions in that industry and starting pro-
cedure on a cooperative program on well thought out and
defined lines.

It will be the great pleasure of The Exchange to
give full particulars of this much to be desired innova-
tion shortly. It marks a step forward that, if carried into
effect, will mean more for nurserymen at large than
possibly any other business detail which has to date
been taken up either by the National Association or
any of the State Associations, nor, in point of fact, by
the National Society of American Florists. There
is no doubt whatsoever in our minds but that parallel
systems would be of equal value to the florists, and that
while seedsmen have probably more system in their
business than either of the two heretofore mentioned in-
dustries, they would probably be much interested in this
new department which could readily be absorbed by their
industry, always granting the changes necessary to make
it apply.

Don't Forget to Visit Us

We do not claim for The Florists' Exchange that
it is published in the largest printing office in New York
City, but we do claim that the printing office from whence
it emanates is uptodate in every respect, and that it
would be difficult, indeed, to find throughout the country
a printing office more completely equipped than this one
of ours with its modern machinery and labor-saving de-
vices in every department. * * *

This is to extend our hearty invitation to visit our
oflices during New York's big flower show week, March
14 to 21. Trade visitors from the country over will be
heartily welcomed and shown every attention. The
best days to call will be on the Monday, Tuesday to
noon time, and from Thursday morning on — Wednesday
is our busiest day.

No N. Y. State Daylight Saving

Latest reports from Albany are to the effect that the
final opposition to the repeal of the State Daylight Sav-
ing law has been withdrawn and that the Senate will
shortly follow the lead of the House in taking this
action. While this will be a disappointment to many
commuters and small town inhabitants, there is still the
possibility of their enjoying the extra daylight hour as
a result of local action, which is provided for in the
repeal measure. Provided enough cities and towns take
advantage of this and vote harmoniously for the same
sort of local legislation, conditions this coming Sum-
mer will not differ greatly from those of 1920.

Daylight Saving in Massachusetts

Word comes from Boston that the prospects are
bright for State legislation in favor of the extra day-
light hour. Of course Massachusetts is more of a
manufacturing than an agricultural commonwealth, and
it is to be expected that millworkers, factory hands and
members of the industrial army generally would be
strongly behind it. Moreover, the former element of
the Bay State population seems to have taken the broad-
minded view that even if the daylight saving system is
made a State law they will, by means of some slight
readjustments of their programs, be able to work in
harmony with the rest of the citizens and without in-
convenience to themselves.

Is

It is reported that a Montana nursery has discovered
a method of keeping down weeds in the beds of seed-
ling conifers. As is well known, such seedlings are
subject to certain fungus gro%vths which destroy them
in large numbers. In experimenting with chemical;
with a view to fighting off this fungus it was fount
that zinc sulphate, used at the rate of eight grams in
o,ne quart of water to each square foot, not onlj
checked the fungus but appeared to check weed growtl:
also. The experiments are not as yet considered con-
clusive, for it has yet to be proved that the seedlings
are unaffected by the chemical. If tree seedlings car
resist the action of the chemical, the treatment wil
prove highly valuable, as the most costly feature ir
connection with tree raising from seeds is the labor oi
hand weeding.

In the great German nurseries, armies of women ar£
employed for this work. One concern before the war,
employed several hundred, during the growing season,
providing them with accommodation in a great hotel-
like structure on the nurseries.

In last week's paper we published an article under
the heading of "Foreign Bulb Troubles and Their Pre-
vention by Culture," emanating from the pen of H.
Langeler, a gentleman whose knowledge and experience
in the line of bulbs is incontestable. This week Mr.
Langeler follows up the subject with another article
which is equally deserving of attention, if not really
more important than its predecessors, pointing the way,
as it does, to methods of bulb culture which, seemingly,
when it is possible to follow, cannot but give the most
satisfactory results. One grower here in New York
who has raised millions of bulbs, called Mr. Langeler
up after reading his first article to tell him he fully
agreed with what he had written. This gentleman has
had his full share of bulb troubles, as have many
others, but was open minded enough to realize that
much of the "bad luck" coming to bulb growers from
time to time could be prevented by proper treatment.
It is to be hoped from Mr. Langeler's article a better
understanding of the bulb situation will come about.
The subject in this issue is more sensational than its
predecessors; point of fact many interested in the ex-
port of Holland bulbs might have been of a mind to
try out the suggestions here given privately and to use
the results for the advancement of their personal in-
terest. It is true that there might have been a benefit
to a few by withholding this information — the secret of
cold storage treatment — but, on the other hand, public-
ity will make for a realization of the benefits much
more quickly if the advantages are shared by all alike,
both those who sell and those who grow Dutch bulbs.
It is a known fact by well posted growers that a cold
treatment has proven in the past of advantage to bulb-
ous stock and to other stocks as well; Spiraea clumps,
for instance, growing much better after the "frost has
gone over them," while lying outside than when they
are covered up without this "frost shock."

Allied Florists Association of
Illinois

Celebrates its First Anniversary

The Allied Florists Association of Illinois celebrated
s tirst anniversary at the Hotel Randolph Monday
ight with a banquet which was followed by a lively
usiness meeting. The tables were profusely decorated
■ith handsome vases of Roses contributed by Paul
iJeiss of the Premier Rose Gardens for this auspicious
ccasion. There was about 130 present at the banquet
nd business meeting, many growers from various sec-
ons of the State being present.

Chairman Geo. Asmus opened the meetmg by telling
f the good work accomplished by the association within
le one short year of its existence. He said the entire
ountry is keeping in touch with the Chicago market
nd is copying and adopting the same principles of co-
perative advertising as their association have con-
jcted so successfully during the past year. New York
;ity is asking for copies of their advertising, numerous
irge cities from coast to coast are now arranging for
le organization of allied associations for the general

■etterment of the florist's industry.

, At the first meeting of the association held just one
ear ago among the directors elected were Aug. Lange
epresenting the retailers, Eric Johnson, of the A. L.
Vmling Co., representing the wholesalers, and Peter
'earson representing the growers. Elected for one
■ear, the term now expiring, these were re-elected for
, term of three years.

iecretary Swenson Talks

Secretary Swenson read his annual report giving in
letail the amount of money received and spent for ad-
ertising, which was so highly interesting, that it was
noved that a separate copy of the report be sent to

i;very member of the association. It was further
imended to the effect that all florists in Cook County
hould receive a copy also, to let them see the wonder-
ul work the association was doing and that it might
je an incentive to those at present outside of the or-

ijanization to become members.
Among Mr. Swenson's impressive statements were:

That the membership of wholesalers, retailers and
jrowers now totals 450, showing an increase of 90 mem-

jjers since they began a year ago. No resignations have

ijeen reported from the wholesaler or grower members,
)ut 17 have been received from the retailers. The total
•eoeipts, including a loan of $5000, amounted to $34,-
155.99 from which they had a balance in hand of

(■;632.23. Twenty-five thousand, six hundred and eighty-
wo dollars and eighty-seven cents had been paid for

: idvertising. Forty-two different newspaper ads were
un by the association during the year and as these
ids appeared in from two to six papers that meant 155
listinct ads had appeared during the year. It was
•stimated that the total circulation of the ads run by
iie association had reached a number of people equal
o almost one-half the population of the United States.
The association has recently purchased illuminated
jillboard sites, one of which is already showing on
Michigan boulevard and another will appear shortly on
lackson boulevard. In spite of business depression in
jther lines, the opporttme advertising for New Year's
Day and St. Valentine's Day had made business for the

.florists exceptionally good. Every retailer interviewed

,by the secretary reported a gain over* last year, one an
increase of $1100 on his St. Valentine's Day sales.
Mr. Swenson stated that the Allied Florists Associa-

'tion had received more reading matter writeups in the
papers than any other industry in Chicago. Another
example of good free publicity was when the Allied
Association joined hands with the Tribune Memorial
Day Fund for decorating the graves of soldiers in
France. The "Say it with Flowers" week provided a
record in free publicity ; 65 distinct newspaper clip-
pings were received in the office during that week. He
believed that every firm interested in the sale of flow-
ers had gotten back $3 or more for every dollar they
had been assessed. "The results of the first year's ac-

'•tivity, despite imperfect organization, warranted greater

I 'action in the future.

I I The secretary was given a vote of thanks for the ex-

I I cellent services rendered.

' i A pleasing feature of the meeting was the showing
'by lantern slides on a screen, reproductions of all the
! advertisements used during the past year beginning
; with the first and leading on to the one used the past
' week. These were highly interesting to many present
j who did not see them in the Chicago papers as they
} appeared. In addition to the regular advertising copy,
1 all the cartoons appearing in the local papers where

reference was made to our slogan was reproduced;

some highly amusing. In addition, the colored copies

Forest Planting

The exhaustion of the stand of Southern Pine, says
the N. Y. State College of Agriculture, is actually in
sight. Within ten years the South will be producing
only enough lumber to satisfy its own demands. The
only remaining large supply of soft wood timber in the
country is that of the Pacific Coast— three thousand
miles from the Eastern markets. Why not, concludes
the college, let some of New York's untillable land
help out this situation and at the same time enrich its
owners?

Why not, indeed? What excuse can we plead for
our deplorable negligence and prodigality in the face
of such facts and such prospects? Just think of the
possibilities ! In Sweden, we are told is a town, in
which no one pays any taxes and in which light, sewage,
local transportation, all such civic services, are under
municipal control and free to the citizens. How is
this possible? Simply because, years ago, the farsighted
city fathers bought up outlying land and planted mu-
nicipal forests. Given constant care and protection
these woodlands are now so productive that every year
enough timber is cut and sold to pay all the expenses
of the town government and operation, making pos-
sible the almost Arcadian state of affairs described
above.

If they could do it in Sweden, why cannot we do it
here?

Orland P. Bassett

Orland P. Bassett, a personal friend of Abraham
Lincoln, died last Saturday at Pasadena, Calif., aged
86. Mr. Bassett was the first horticulttu-ist to commer-
cialize the "American Beauty'' Rose. He had lived in
Pasadena since 1907. The body will be brought here
for burial at Hinsdale. Mr. Bassett came from western
Pennsylvania to Sycamore, 111., in the late fifties, and
started a newspaper there. In 1868 he came to Chicago
and organized the Pictorial Printing Co., of which he
was president until 1916, when he founded the florists'
firm of Bassett & Washburn. Mr. Bassett was father-
in-law of the present C. W. Washburn, the active mem-
ber and head of firm now bearing this name.

Mrs. Mary Cunningham

The widow of the late William Cunningham, pioneer
Cincinnati florist, died early Thursday mprning, Feb.
24.

Mrs. Cunningham was suffering from a bad cold
which turned to pneumonia. Her husband died about
thirteen years ago. Mr. Cunningham was an intensive
grower of flowers and pot plants.

Three daughters, Mrs. Martin, Abina and Julia, as
well as two sons, Richard and John, survive.

Requiem high mass was said at St. Patrick's Church,
Cummingsville, Cincinnati, four grandsons acting as
pallbearers. 'The numerous beautiful floral tributes
gave mute evidence of many friends and of the esteem,
in which the deceased was held. H. C. K.

David W. Brooks

. We regret to learn that David W. Brooks of the
Standard Hill Greenhouses, Westbrook, Conn., was
killed by an automobile, Thursday, Feb. 17. He was
born in Canning, New Brunswick, Canada, in 1843, and
in the early '70s, came to East Hartford, where he was
etoiployed at the Ranney Greenhouses. Here he re-
mained until in 1874 he purchased the greenhouse of
U. T. Smith (now known as the Cedar Hill Green-
houses). After 35 years, he and his sons established
the Standard Hill Greenhouses, where he had been
located for the last thirteen years.

Mr. Brooks was of a sociable nature and was well
liked among the trade. Surviving are three sons and
one daughter, his wife having died within the past
year. The funeral was held in Westbrook, Conn., Sat-
urday, Feb. 19, with burial at Cedar Hill Cemetery,
which is located within an eighth of a mile of where he
had been in business so long. There was a profusion
of the flowers which he so dearly loved. — G. G. McC.

John M. Good

Reference was made to the death of Mr. Good in
our issue of Feb. 26, but we have since received the
following details of the deceased.

Though born in Johnstown, Pa., 67 years ago, Mr.
Good spent the greater part of his life in Springfield,
O., where he was mayor about 20 years ago. Here he
became coimected with the old C. A. Reese Floral Co.,
now the George H. Mellen Co., shortly after moving
to Springfield, in 1877. Some years later he organized
the Good & Reese Co., finally acquiring Reese's interests
in the firm and retaining the old firm name. At the
time of his death, he was president of the United States
Nurseries Co., at Roseacres, Miss., and also of the
Perennial Gardens Co. at Springfield, O., which is
reputed to have a larger acreage of Peonies than any
other floral company in the United States.

Mr. Good had not been in good health since last
Winter, when he fell while on the way to his office dur-
ing one of the heavy snowstorms. His health gradu-
ally failed and he went to Florida the first of the year,
but was forced to return home about three weeks ago.
He died Wednesday morning, Feb. 16, at his home,
1355 S. Fountain ave., Springfield.

He leaves his wife, a daughter, Helen Good; a son,
John M. Good, Jr., a sister, and two brothers.

The funeral services were held Friday afternoon,
Feb. 18, at his late home and many florists were present.
The room was banked with many beautiful floral offer-
ings.

Frank E. Good and Harry F. Good, brothers of the
deceased, will carry on the business the same as it has
been in the past.

The Florists' Exchange

Society of American Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists

Report of the Washington (D. C.) Meetings on Feb. 24-26, 1921 — Continued

It will be noted that THE EXCHANGE is printing at length and in full the proceedings of
the important Washington meetings (see also last week's issue). This is done first, so that the
entire trade of the country may keep in touch with the progress made by its central organiza-
tions and committees, including the complete plans for forthcoming National Flower Show; and,
second, in order that EXCHANGE readers may get a clear idea of how faithfully, how industri-
ously and how effectively the national body is w^orking in behalf of the trade and its interests and
prosperity. Needless to say the way to show appreciation of this work, is by supporting our
National Association with active, wholehearted encouragement and cooperation.

Report of National
Flower Show Committee

Chairman George Asmus of the National Flower Show
Committee presented a report from his committee, as
follows:

"To the Members of the Board of Directors, assembled:

"I hereby submit to your attention my report which wilj
inchide the piesent working conditions of the National
Flower Show Committee, which is a body composed of sis,
one of whom retires each year; his successor being ap-
pointed by the oresident who takes the office on Jan. 1.

"Thus there will be on this important commit ee, men
who will have had experience from previous exhibitions
if they are held once in every two years. It has been
the thought of our committee that at some time in the
near future, the shows could be held every Spring, as
there are a number of cities where such exhibitions could
be held. The lack of suitable buildings to stage our enor-
mous exhibition has been a drawback, but a number of
cities have, or are making plans to build large municipal
buildings, such as the one we are going to hold our next
exhibition in in the city of Cleveland.

"As described on page 217 of the 1917 proceedings, by
order of the convention in session at Baltimore, your body
was authorized and directed to vest power in the Na-
tional Flower Show Committee for the conduct of all
National Flower Shows and such duties as your body felt
were for the best interests of the society. This was done
and, under these rules, our committee has absolute power
to conduct these enormous exhibitions, the legality of
this being confirmed in opinion handed down by Jolm B.
Dove of Boston, Mass., at the solicitation of past-Presi-
dent Welch, now a member of our committee.

"Four of these exhibitions have gone down in his-
tory. All being self-sustaining and sufficiently profitable
to give us our first nucleus for a permanent flower show
fund. This, with the results from the last exhibition,
gave to us a large and formidable fund for protection.

"This fund, • unfortunately, was depleted somewhat
when we were forced to call off the contemplated show
which was scheduled for the city of St. Louis, owing to
conditions caused by the war, after a large sum of money
had been spent for promotion.

The Objects of National Shows

"Those of you that are on the inside, or who may
have had experience, are somewhat acquainted with the
many obstacles that are continually confronting the work-
ers, and it must be remembered that the object for which
the exhibitions were first thought of, have not been
changed: That of advancing every branch of horticulture
and to put before the public the product of ou^r indus-
try in the best and most efficient way; that will help pro-
mote the love and sale of all flowers, i)lants, etc.; and to
do such as often as feasible and in sections where same is
most needed. Thus cities have not always been selected
where profits were assured, or where conditions were best
for securing the greatest exhibit as was the case when the
city of St. Louis was selected.

"Therefore, our committee has given great thought as to
not how much profit could be made, but as to how we could
best advance the horticultural interest in the city and vi-
cinity where the exhibition was being held. We are con-
sidering placing the price of admission at 50c.; this
price, everything considered, is a very low price of ad-
mission, but it i? the quantity of people we desire, and
the greater the quantity the greater the siiccess.

Covering the Expenses

In our first shows, where the expense was not so large,
35,000 to 40,000 paid admissions were sufficient, but at our
last show at Philadelphia, it was necessary to more than
double the paid attendance. Now to make as safe as pos-
sible the financial success, we aim to accomplish the fol-
lowing: To sell in advance the trade ticket and bulk
sale ticket, to an amount not less than S12,000; to sell
trade space to allied interests that will net $15,000; then
there is the possibility of an income of between $3000
and S4000 from the various concessions, and about this
same amount from the special premiums offered, making
a total of $35,000. This with a guarantee fund of $20 -
000 makes a total of S55,000; thus you will see that the
society is protected absolutely from any financial loss.
You might say, too, that this also applies to the guaran-
tors, as there is very remote chance of an exhibition
bemg starred by the well trained men on our committee,
but what it is safe to depena upon at least 40,000 paid ad-
missions.

"The results from our last shows are such as to con-
vince us we are right in our method. The utmost care
must always be given to the material of the National
Flower Show Committee; capable men with experience,
wisdom and ability, and no thought of personal friendship'

must enter into the selection of those who can best
serve on this important committee.

"If you will but look in the proceedings and see the
gross expenditures of the last show — over $50,000 — prac-
tically all placed before the gates opened to the public,
you will realize the enormous responsibility this commit-
tee shoulders. This amount of money represents a sum
more than equal to that which the society has in its
treasury, and which it has been over 35 years in accumu-
lating. Thus you will see that you ask and expect of this
committee to be the advance guard of horticulture in this
country. To them has to be entrusted the correct and
best method of displaying to the public the rarest, choicest
and best grown of our product, to be staged on a plane
that has no superior, to place the exhibition so that every
branch of horticulture receives some benefit, that, there
can be no critieism on our great organization for the work
done, and so that the people will know ua and our work
the better.

Problems That Have To Be Met

"Therefore, to this committee is left to figure
out protection as much as possible from bad
weather or any calamity that would mean dis-
aster or ruin to the exhibition ; also we must
guard carefully against liability to the public, should a
catastrophe occur or an accident of any kind during
the progress or installing of the show. These are a few
of the perplexing problems of importance that arise.

"In the past we have been working with the assistance
of the various horticulture organizations; such organiza-
tions as the American Rose and Carnation Societies have
always cooperated, but did not have any financial re-
sponsibilities as far as sharing in profits or losses were
concerned. The present working condition is different.
Prior to the contemplated show in St. Louis, we entered
into an agreement with the American Rose Society to
have them act as copartners with the Society of Ameri-
can Florists in promoting that show. As I stated be-
fore, the calling off of the St. Louis exhibition left us
with a loss of about $7000. We did not ask the guar-
antors of the two above mentioned societies to pay any
part of this loss, but rather charged it up against the
expense of the next exhibition, inasmuch as we had a
flower show fund that the money was charged against.
The basis of the proportion to which the Rose and Car-
nation Societies participate is the amount of premiums
earned. That is to say, the present premium list is
written on a $20,000 basis. The possibilities are that
the amount awarded will not be over $13,000 or S14,-
000. Now it will merely be a matter of figures as to
what proportion was underwritten by the Rose Society,
and what proportion was underwritten by the Carnation
Society, and, basing the matter on results from the last
National Flower Show in Philadelphia, the American
Rose Society would have been entitled to about 13 per
cent of the profits and the American Carnation Society
to about 8 per cent. These are figures merely in the
rough. Thus we have two ^arantors not mentioned be-
fore; both of these organizations are responsible for
losses in proportion to the amounts of money they
are to participate in the profits of.

The Show to Pay Its Way

"1 wish also to have your body know that every item
of expense such as mileage to the meetings, clerical hire,
stationery, and all kinds, has been paid for as an ex-
pense to the exhibition. I point this out to you as I
wish you to know that there is no expense whatsoever in
connection with the National Flower Shows, that is not
defrayed from the receipts of the exhibitions. I believe
too, we can point back with pride to the results obtained
by the exhibitions in the cities where the same has been
held. We also feel proud that all of our exhibitions
have been successful and that all purchasers of space
in the trade section have reported very profitable busi-
ness.

"Just a little about how we organize to promote these
enormous affairs. It is our aim to work not with anv
particular local organization, but with all of them. All
of the allied interests of the section where the exhibition
is being held are called upon as workers in forming the
twenty committees that we have to have. The chairmen of
each of these committees form what we have called an
executive committee; this body to meet not less than once
a month, and there to discuss the reports worked out
by each individual committee, and to pass upon the en-
dorsement of such rcommendations. Also, this executive
committee is to endorse any appropriations asked for.
After such endorsement, same are submitted to the Na-
tional Flower Show Committee for final appropriations.
Thus yon will see that all the time your committee of
experienced workers stand back of every action that per-
tains to the spending of moneys. The chairman of the
National Flower Show Committee presides at the meeting
of the executive committee, and in his absence, the vice-

chairman, who is also a member of the National Flower
Show Committee. In this instance, Herman Knoble, &
member of our committee, has been elected to serve as
vice-chairman, Cleveland being his home.
Must Have High Grade Exhibits

"You all know of the wonderful building we were for-
tunate in securing in Cleveland; present indications are
that our show will be the first that will be staged in this
wonderful building and we believe that we have a rare
opportunity before us. But I wish to point out to each
member of the board present, the urgent necessity of
helping our committee m the success of the coming ex-
hibition. We positively must have high grade exhibits.
We must have donations to the premium list. We want
your members to talk about the National Flower Show
at all of your meetings, as we believe that the exhibition
is of so much importance that no florist ought to miss
it, as undoubtedly it will be an inspiration to him and
will be of wonderful educational value to know he is part
of so enormous an institution.

"I sincerely hope that the Board of Directors assembled
here will not forget to help endorse the resolutions that
will provide for the meeting of the S. A. F. and 0. H. at ,
the time of the show, as with this aetion, we can se-
cure the rate and a half from the railroads which will
be a saving of 25 per cent on railroad fares.

"Should there be other information desired, I will be
more than pleased to have you command me." i

Report of
Publicity Committee

Chairman Henry Penn reported for this committee as ;
follows :

"Our campaign has accomplished so much for our
business that it is hardly necessary for me to go into
much detail. Your committee to a man feels its impor-
tance and have evidenced it by their attendance at every
meeting. "Say it with Flowers" as a keystone for every
advertisement, is favorably known to everybody, both
here and we may say abroad. Every now and then we i
are in receipt of advertisements containing the phrase,
'Say it with Flowers,' but it is only in its infancy yet
and the fruits of the campaign are yet before us.

"If our campaign has done nothing else it has made
our retail florists see the light of advertising, and baa
helped create new as well as making more sales for our J
products, which have kept up even unto now; this is a i
tribute to our craft. How many lines can say their vol- I
ume of business in 1920 has been equal to that of 1919?
Yet, our general volume of trade in the country shows
a decided increase. Another tribute, perhaps, to the fact
of more energy in the printed word as well as a desire
to do bigger things. Just a few examples of advertising
and, incidentally, the adverse side by not advertising by
some of the following examples:

Stories Worth Attention

"Did you ever hear of St. Jacob's Oil? Not so many
years ago, as time goes, it was a nationally known pro-
prietary, it was the biggest selling product in a day
when national distribution of a commodity was the ex-
ception. St. Jacob's Oil was advertised well. And by
advertising was the business built. Then Charles VogeleV
died, his widow called in a banker to straighten out af-
fairs. Patiently, microscopically, he toiled through the
books, noting with increasing outrage, the tremendoua
sums spent for advertising. Such extravagance, such fool-
hardiness would never do.

"Now, the widow had had faith in her husband; she ,
had seen millions of bottles shipped to uncounted buy-
ers, but the sums spent for space in magazines, on hill- '
boards, etc., were awful; a banker is surely an all-wise
business man. So when the contracts ran out, they were
not renewed. St. Jacob's Oil, which was known to every
man, woman and child in America through the enormous
force of advertising, began to quietly efface itself from
public view. Within a year the advertising had prac-
tically ceased. •

"St. Jacob's Oil had a wonderful distribution. It
could be purchased anywhere. It was known throughout
the length and breadth of the land; yes, even the world.
The banker said people would buy it anyhow. Com-
plaints, however, began to reach headquarters. St. Jacob's
Oil was not selling as it had * • * Why continue the
story? It is only with an effort that old timers recall
the product. St. Jacob's Oil is practically no more.

"Take^ another case, more recent, yet it is doubtful if
many will remember James Pyle's Pearline. A splendid
product with a splendid distribution. It was advertised
persistently and constantly since 1877; and in 1904 the
appropriation reached half a million. Pearline was well
and favorably known. Then in 1907 the last of the
Pyle family died. The estate felt that Pearline was so
well known that it needed little further advertising. The
Proctor and Gamble Co. bought the business in 1914 to
save it from actual bankruptcy.

"Spasmodic, sporadic advertising accomplishes nothing.
Advertising must have a unity of purpose, and above all
a continuity. Repetition is to the memory as the drop,
drop, drop of water on a stone. The public must be
constantly reminded. A year of silence will undo the work
of five years of advertising. If perserverance is a
characteristic of good salesmanship, it is an essential of
advertising also.

Who Pays for the Advertising?

"Who pays for the advertising? List to this tale:
"Twenty-eight years ago the makers of a watch pro-
duced a large machine-made article, priced at $1.50. The
first year without advertising they sold 12,000. Next
year with some advertising 87,000 were sold. Then in-

larch 5, lOil.

easing the factory and the distribution by havinj^ cre-
ed a market and ntablized it, they red\iced the size of
e watch and the price to $1 and, by advertising sold
5^00 the third year.

"The makers of a fainoua camera, when they began
ivcrtiwiiig over 30 yeara ago, made a camera which took
2^in. picture and which sold at $25. In 1917 (at a

■Tie of tne violent riwo in cost of material) they made
far better camera which sold for $10.

111 larger, and sola for lOe.

"In 1008, a magneto aold for $150. Ten years later a

' $81.

National Flower Show
Committee Meeting

I'A meeting of the National Flower Show Committee was
lid at the New Willard Hotel, Washington, D. C, on

■ ednesday, Jan. 26, 1921. The following were in at-
)adance at the first session, which opened at 11 a.m.:

? Chairman, George Asmus, Chicago, 111; President, Thomas Roland
I hant, Mass.; Secretary. John Young, New York; Treasurer, J. J.
i ss, Omaha, Nebr.; Patrick Welch. Boston, Mass.; Frank H. Traendly,
;w York; Wm. H. Duckham, Madison, N. J.; Herman P. Knoble,
leveland. O.; Joseph H. Hill, Richmond, Ind.; and S. S. Pennock,
:iladelphia. Pa.; representing the American Rose Society. There
. re also present: C. H. Totty. Madison. N. J., W. R. Pierson, Crom-
'11, Conn.; F. C. W. Brown and Carl Hagenburger, Cleveland, Ohio.

■ ee Space for Retailers

The meeting was called to order by Chairman Asmus.

cretary Young read the minutes of the last meeting,

lich were approved with the exception, of the part re-
,'rring to a motion made by Mr. Roland and seconded
} * Mr. Duckham, that retail florists who would agree
I make exhibits at the Cleveland National Flower Show

ould each be given free of charge a space loft, by 15ft.,

■ being understood that if they should require further
;ace, they could purchase it in the trade section. Mr.
inland stated that although it was on record that he
'ade the motion, it was not his intention to limit

ly retailer to a space of the size mentioned, and that
■ believed that anyone should be privileged to purchase
tra space adjoining the free space in order to make
larger exhibit. Mr. Knoble said, that the retail florists
Cleveland were perfectly satisfied with the ruling,
nsidering the same both fair and equitable. Mr.
?land, insisting that the ruling as recorded was against
s views, asked that the motion be stricken from the
cord, but stated that he would not oppose a motion
vering a ruling that would best suit the desires of a
ajority of the local people, and he so moved. Mr. Duck-
.m, as seconder, consented to the withdrawal, and Mr.
Dland's motion, duly seconded, was carried.
After some discussion Mr. Knoble offered the original
lotion in his own name, seconded by Mr. Duckham,
;id the motion was passed. A slight alteration was made
. the minutes referring to the publication of the Official
i'ogram, striking from it the direction that this pro-
am should be gotten out on the same lines as the
ailadelphia Show Program, and adding that no contract
; ould be made or expense incurred in connection with
without first submitting such matters to the National
''ower Show Committee.

(.Chairman Asmus, for the sub-committee then reported
e preparation of a set of rules and regulations to gov-
n the Executive Committee of the Cleveland National
ower Show. These rules and regulations were offered
r discussion, and Secretary Young read them ad-

Heriatini, eaeli hoing discnsscd or passed. Finally, the set
as u wiiole wuh, on motion of Mr. Welcli, neconded by
Mr. Pennock, adopted uh follows:

4. At its meetings the chairmen of various committees
shall bring in reports of the work done, with suggestions
and recommendations for the full discussion and approval
of the majority of members of the Board.

5. Where there is an appropriation necessary or desired,
the individual committee will first discuss and work out
plans that will give efficiency without too great expendi-
ture.

6. When the conunittee has passed such actions, the
chairman shall go to the meeting of the Executive Board
with such a report and recommendations for the dis-
cussion of the Executive Board, who then will pass upon
tlie wisdom of the appropriation. Such recommendation
will then be made to the National Flower Show Commit-
tee, who will give the authority for the final appropria-
tion.

7. The Executive Board shall have full power to elect
its own secretary to take the minutes of the meeting and
"to exercise control over the office, which will be opened
at the proper time to promote the exhibition and for the
use of the committees and also for the proper filing of all
records. There also shall be a treasurer elected, he to
be a member of the Admissions Committee, as this com-
mittee through its sale of trade tickets will have the
greatest need for a treasurer.

8. This committee shall have full power to regulate
the cond.uct of the show, but always subject to the super-
vision or revision of the National Flower Show Committee.

9. The following is a list of the committees whose chair-
man shall have representation on the Board of Directors:
Printing Securing nurserymen's exhibits
Admissions Publicity

Exterior Decorations Transportation

Interior Decorations g „ ^^ information

Music r, ■ ■, e ,

Lectures and school gardens &epcial features

Securing out of town exhibits Concessions

Securing retail exhibits Aquarium

Securing local exhibits other than Securing special premiums in
that of retail florists Cleveland and vicinity

Duties of Sub Committees

The duties of the various committees then came under
discussion. At the Philadelphia National Flower Show,
a system covering directions to the chairmen and mem-
bers of the local committees was devised, and the results
were wonderfully good. Every member of a committee
knew exactly what was expected of him and of his
committee, and there was no interlapping of functions
and absolutely no friction. The work of each committee
dovetailed into the work of the Executive Committee and
the management. With the experience gained at the last
the management. With the experience gained at the last
rections were suggested by Chairman Asmus, and as pre-
sented to the Committee entailed considerable discussion.
The following is an abstract of the principal duties of
these committees:

Commiitee on Retail Exhibits — This Committee will se-
cure exhibits from retailers in Cleveland and throughout
the country, making no charge for space excepting when
space beyond that allotted to all is reserved. The Com-
mittee will explain to these exhibitors certain rules gov-
erning the care and conduct of the exhibits.

Committee o)i Special Features — This is, in importance,
second to none, and is responsible for the conception and
carrying out of features calculated to please and educate
the public in the use of flowers and plants. Hardly any
limit is placed upon the services of the members of this
committee, although their reports must be presented to
the general committee for approval.

Committee on Securing Pi-emiums outside of Cleveland
— It is the duty of this committee to solicit special pre-
miums from horticultural clubs, societies and similar or-
ganizations, from wholesale and supply houses in all
allied lines, all donors being entitled to special mention
in the final premium list as well as in the official pro-
gram. All such premiums are required to be in the hands
of this committee 30 days in advance of the opening date
of the show.

Committee on Concessions — To work in conjunction with
Secretary Young, who has charge of the subletting of all
space; it will pass upon the desirability of accepting
concessionaires for the sale of soft drinks, candies, res-
taurant and check room pri\nleges, etc.

Committee at Large — The duties of this Committee are
various, and include the work of obtaining privileges and
concessions from the municipal authorities likely to swell
the attendance and insure its safety. They also include
such work as making announcements regarding the show
at large meetings and gatherings, and assisting the Pub-
licity Committee in different ways.

Committee on Aquarium — It is the work of this com-
moittee to arrange for the staging, if at all possible, of
an exhibit of fancy fish and water plants, such as were
staged at the Philadelphia Show.

Committee on Securing Special Premiums in Cleveland
and Viriiiitu — The duties of this committee are similar

to those of tlio committee doing the same work outside of
Cleveland.

Lecture and School Gardens (.'o»«mtfk'c— Will have
charge of the important educational features of the
show. At tile coming nhow this committee in expected
to provide enough lecturers or aids, to make repetitions
of a lecture jiosHible at various timcH during the day
for which it is scheduled. 'J"he school gardens and ex-
hibits of children's drawings of flowers tor prizes to be
offered, will bo in charge of this committee.

Committee on Local and Oiit-of-Toton Exhihits other
than Retailers — This committee is expected to assist ma-
terially in drawing the attention of prospective exhibitors
to the many classes for which exhibits may be prepared,
and to interest all the private gardeners and amateurs
it can reach.

Bureau of Information Committee — The work of this
committee is very important and includes the engaging
of competent persons to disseminate knowledge on botani-
cal matters as well as information tending to the com-
fort and convenience of visitors to the show; also to see
that plants are properly described and labeled according
to the rules. A sign writer will, in consequence, be placed
at the service of this committee.

Admissions Committee — Will have charge of the dis-
posal of trade tickets, the advance sale of which also
promotes a great deal of publicity. It will also have
charge of the sale of all other tickets, receive moneys
for same, and turn them over to the treasurer each day.
The National Flower Show Committee discussed at length
the subject of passes, and, by motion, decided that only
a member of the S. A. F. in good standing would be
entitled to a season pass.

Committee on Printing — To have charge of all print-
ing, including stationery, posters and form letters. Es-
timates will be obtained for all W9rk, and submitted in
due course to the Executive Committee.

Exterior and Interior Decorating Committees — These
will take care of outside and inside decorations of all
kinds. Both are expected to work in conjunction, as far
as possible, with the committees on special features and
publicity.

Music Committee — This conunittee will make suggestions
and obtain bids covering musical programs or similar
features.

Committee on Nurserymen's Exhibits — This committee
will promulgate its own ideas, and is expected to work
in conjunction with the committees on decorations.

Committee on Advertising — ^All matters of advertising
and publicity will be in charge of this committee. After
a long discussion in regard to aggregate and preliminary
advertising and publicity, on motion of Mr. Roland,
$1000 was appropriated for preliminary work.

Committee on Transportation — The duties of this com-
mittee will be to disseminate to exhibitors information as
to the best means and time for shipping material, to
secure freight rates and rates for trucking, and gen-
erally to see that arrivals are moved without delay.

On motion of Mr. Welch, seconded by Mr. Hess, the di-
rections to the committees as amended were adopted unan-
imously.

There was a long discussion as to the personnel of the
committees, and it was decided that Chairman Asmus meet
the Cleveland interests and appoint the chairmen with
a view to having the committees completed in time to make
a report at a meeting of the National Flower Show
Committee to be held in New York in March, during
the International Flower Show.
Poster Design Accepted

The poster design or sketch secured for the projected
St. Louis Show was exhibited, and, on motion of Mr.
Duckham, adopted for use in Cleveland. Estimates for
poster stamps, or stickers, were presented and there was
some discussion, but the matter was eventually referred
to the Committee on Advertising to be appointed.

The matter of appointing a committee to judge any
novelty that may be originated, with the idea of recom-
mending an award to be made by the National Flower
Show Committee, under its powers, was discussed at
length, and, on motion of ]Mr. Roland, it was resolved that
any member of the S. A. F. and 0. H. wishing the com-
mittee to pass upon a novelty of his own introduction,
could present it for such purpose to a special committee
by arrangement with the National Flower Show Commit-
tee.

Secretary Young presented for inspection the vS, A. F.
medals in silver and bronze. As it was found there was
no wording on the medals to connect the National Flower
Show with the Society, the Secretary was requested to as-
certain from the engravers whether it would be pos-
sible to have this addition made to the die, and report
on the matter at the March meeting of the Committee.

The question of uniform background and decoration of
exhibits at the show was discussed at length. At many
shows deficiency in this respect has marred the general
effect, and a flower show should not be open to criticism
in this respect. On motion of ]Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr.
Knoble, the chairman was instructed to appoint a com-
mittee to present at the March meeting data concerning
decorative materials and prices of same, with a plan, if
possible. The appointed are Mr. Young, Mr. Knoble and
himself as such committee.

Mr. Roland pointed out the necessity for a budget
committee to consider finances and expenses covering
the Cleveland Show, and moved that the chair appoint
such a committee, to report at the March meeting. The
motion, seconded by Mr. Ivnoble, was carried. The chair
announced the following as the committee : Messrs.
Traendly, Young, Duckham, Knoble and Roland.

There being no further business, the committee ad-
journed to meet in New York during the week of the
International Flower Show.

John Young, Secretary.

Spraying in the Nursery

(Concluded from page 543)
spinosa, turning yellow in mid-Summer and falling off
without an apparent reason. The writer has seen this
happen, caused of red spider. Hydrangea and Sam-
bticus. Elder leaves will do the same. Junipers, too,
often succumb to red spider.
Fungi to Beware Of

Wliile insects may be the chief reason for spraying,
injurious fungi also necessitate this practice so w-e will
touch on same in passing. Insects will defy us as a
rule in the open, but fungi always seems like a
inysterious, hidden foe, inaccessible when once estab-
lished in a plant, and so the use of fungicides be-
comes more a preventative than a remedial operation.
The Chestnut blight, Endothia parasitica, for instance,
once established, cannot be cured on a tree by spray-
mg with a fungicide. Theoretically, a healthy Chest-
nut tree, if sprayed, is immune to the blight, but the
frequency of spraying necessary to prove this immunity
would, even if successful, be too expensive to have
the practice adopted. Bad as all blights are, fortu-
nately the knowledge of remedial measures for their
suppression is not so hopeless as the Chestnut blight has
proven, but even if unable to prescribe a remedy in this
case, scientists have identified the foe and dispelled the
many plausible though fallacious reasons for the dying
of our Chestnut trees— another illustration of the value
of studying your foe ; going about it systematically.
Standard Fungicides

Spraying in advance with Bordeau mixture (blue
stone, hme and water) places a barrier against the
germination of harmful spores ly the formation of a
fiUn of copper sulfate deposited on the plant in spray-
ing. Although Bordeau mLxture is the most popular
fungicide, lirae-sulphur also serves this purpose and com-
bines a splendid insecticide. Then, where a spray that
will not stain is wanted, ammoniacal copper carbonate
( Joz. copper carbonate : 5 pints ammonia and 50 gals, of
water) is recommended. Thus for rusts, leaf spots, can-
kers mildew, wilts, scab, etc., w-e use fungicides, but ap-
plied, if possible, before the outbreak of these diseases.
Fumigation of Dormant Trees

, Chemistry has given nurserymen and florists another
tormidable weapon, dealing death to bugs, in hydrocyanic
acid gas as a fumigating agent. In recent years nur-
serymen have been required to provide airtight boxes
or houses therein to fumigate all or certain prescribed
plants susceptible to insect infestation before shipment
of same could be made into the States exacting this
requirement. For dormant nursery stock, one ounce of
potassium cyanide ; one and one-half fluid ounces of sul-
phuric acid and two fluid ounces of of water is
used to every 100 cubic feet in the box or room contain-
ing the plants. The sulphuric acid and water are placed
m an earthen pot, so arranged that when the cyanide
IS dropped in, the operator may make a quick get away,
tor the fumes which immediately result from the com-
bination of these parts are most deadly. About an
i?''^j'^ allowed for the vapor to do its work. Plants
should not be wet. For greenhouse use these propor-
tions are about four times too much. Even this is not
a definite formula, as plants vary in their susceptibility

to the fumes and caution must be observed lest they
be destroyed along with the bugs.
Types of Spraying Machines

A brief reference to the types of sprayers may be of
interest. If j-ou are not abreast of the times in this
respect, it is worth your while to visit any of the large
seed supply houses or pump manufacturers who adver-
tise in The Exch.^xge and examine their array of spray-
ing equipment, designed for every need and purpose;
varying from a pint can container on the compressed
air sprayer to the 50 gallon barrel and hand pump.
The four gallon knapsack sprayers which can be pumped
up and slung over the shoulder with both hands free
to operate it, is a good pump for greenhouse use or in
the nursery on low plants. Incidentally, this type is
used by paperhangers to spray walls for the easy re-
mo\-al of old paper so if you have a job like this to
do, you will find it a time saver. For a limited amount
of spraying in a nursery of medium size, the 50 gal.
barrel and hand pump will meet most needs, though
the agitating paddles require a little extra agitating
to keep arsenate of lead in suspension.
The Power Sprayer and Its Uses

For a large nursery where considerable spraying is
done, the socalled "fruit or orchard sprayer" with gaso-
line engine and 200 gal. tank with two lines of hose
will give splendid results. If there is not enough work
in the nursery to justify the cost of such a sprayer,
the financing may be made possible by doing spraying
as a sideline for neighboring nurserymen or orchardists.
In fact, many nurseries find it profitable to maintain a
spraying department for serving their customers. Such
an outfit will spray about 800 street trees in a day,
though the number naturally varies with distance apart,
size of tree and location of water supply for refilling
tank. This outfit is available as motor drawTi, but horses
will be found better for nursery work. A still more
elaborate outfit, higher powered, solid stream type, is
made by a New England concern, but it is intended for
woodland or tall tree spraying and would be out of place
in the nurserj-.
Spraying by Wattfr Pressure

An innovation in spraying without the use of a pump
and adaptable for certain purposes, is the garden
hose attachment for holding cartridges of various sub-
stances which dilute in the action of the water passing
over them, the spray being impregnated with nicotine,
salt, angle worm killer, arsenate of lead, Bordeau or
fertilizer, according to the cartridge used.
When to Spray

As to the best time to spray, a study of your pest
w'ill tell you when you may strike it with best results,
but frequently this may be a time when you are busy
with other, perhaps even more important work. Favor-
able days in Winter offer a good time for scale insects,
especially, and stronger solutions may be used than
when plants are in leaf. Remember, too, that pruning
is often advisable before spraying, thereby removing
much infested wood and permitting more thorough cov-
ering of the remaining parts when sprayed. Hopeless
cases in the nursery should be dug out and burned. Don't
expect spraying to accomplish the impossible, but prac-
tice it judiciously, thoroughly and persistently, and your
plants will respond in a manner that will attest to your
reputation as a grower.

March Work in the Nursery

Be Prepared for your
Spring Rush

By SAMUEL NEWMAN BAXTER

Nature dominates the nurserymen's calendar of work
and acts as starter in the Spring shipping race. January
she bids us "ready" ; February, "get set" and, when the
frost leaves the ground in March, "go!" sends us for-
word to dig and ship orders with maximum speed and
output ere advancing foliage ends the shipping season.
If you have overlooked preparations in January and
February, your "getaway-" in March will not be a
speedy one. The shipping season is always too short;
make the best of it and do not permit failure to make
preparations, retard the shipping output While waiting
for frost to leave the ground, look over your supplies
again and make sure that j'ou have enough. (Dealers
in nursery stock will find this a good time to use The
ExcH.\XGE columns with a "last call" to reach the
tardy ones.)

This is the last call for pruning those young trees
into shape; cutting down shrubs you desire to make
bushier, unless you think they may be sold this Spring.
Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora, and flowering shrubs
— ^}^es. Privet, too — are often desired as standards. Cut
them down now to get a good strong growth, confining
it to a single stem; this will provide you with the
makings of good standards by the end of the season.
Cut scions now before the buds swell and put them
away for grafting later, when the sap starts.

If you contemplate sowing tree or shrub seed out of
doors, order it at once and prepare the ground for
sowing at the earliest possible moment. Do not neglect
it untU you are through shipping. It represents your
future supply and is just as important as shipping
orders. The same applies to your general replanting,
lining out small stock you have ordered, or the cuttings
that w^ere made early in Winter which are now cal-
loused and ready to put out. If possible have a sepa-
rate gang for planting. Have the ground plowed and
ready. Get manure; you cannot expect a thrifty growth
without some fertilizer.

Above all, do not neglect to advertise! Of course,
you will do a lot of business in Spring without it, but
you will do more with it; to wait until sales lag, is a
little late to put on your thinking cap. In this brief
period before the rush of shipping starts, be sure that
your advertising is worked up well in advance. Don't
be satisfied with a "card." Work up something snappy
or let the ad man do it for you. You feel your stock
is better than the other fellow's; aspire to have your
ads likew-ise in putting your story across. Your Spring
oatalog should now be out. If not you are losing
orders and by all means stir up the printer. It should
be in the hands of your customers. Are you ready and
set to "go"?

Disposition of the S. A. F. Permanent Fund

The discussion, originally started with the purpose of protecting the Permanent Fund
through giving its use an objective in the practical education of young men for the florist*s
trade. It has now resolved itself more into the consideration of ^vays and means w^hereby this
education and technical training may be obtained. The fact is that we, as florists, while recog-
nizing the necessity for this training, are not taking steps nationally to provide it. Other lines
of industry have outstripped us and left us well to the rear. How long shall we remain passive
in the face of this great need for trained workers?

Engineers Send Their Sons to a Techmcal

School— Why Do Not Florists Send Their

Sons Through Agricultural College ?

There has been much comment and expression of
ideas on the disposition of the S. A. F. Permanent
Fund, for and against, the project of encouraging edu-
cation.

The writer of this letter is different from others that
have had something to say, inasmuch, as he is neither
an employer or teacher but rather an employee and a
graduate of an agricultural college who spent four
hard years specializing in floriculture.

No one knows so well as the 3'oung man who gradu-
ates, what the general attitude of the trade has been in
the past toward education. When he gets through col-
lege he has been told over and over again by his teach-
ers that he has only acquired a foundation for his life
work, and, in nearly every case, he goes out looking

for a job not with the idea of "knowing it all," but
with the hope of securing a position of relative unim-
portance where he can work up to something better.

Yet he finds almost no openings ready for him be-
cause of prejudice; the florists of the country- continu-
ing to think that the apprentice S3\^em is still function-
ing and thus overlooking the young graduate.

The apprentice system is surely dead and cannot be
revived in this or any other business. The slavery of
low wages from an early age along the lines of any
specialty, without also absorbing a broadening educa-
tion, is not attractive to young men to day.

The mill man, realizing this, and that his son should
have an education, sends him to college — naturally to
a textile school, because there they train the boy mill
management but do not neglect the humanities, mathe-
matics and, yes — athletics. And, again, mill men en-
courage these schools by aiding the schools themselves
and absorbing the men as they graduate year by year.

Thus the textile business admits that they must look
to education for the younger help and beginners.

The manufacturers of gunpowder, medicine, chemi-
cals, etc., for the same reason, send their sons to tech-
nical schools where they may be broadened mentally
and at the same time in their specialty. The bridge
builder does likewise, his son going to college and
specializing in engineering. The la\y}'er and doctor
send their sons to colleges adapted for the studj- of
law and medicine. And so it goes — in every profes-
sion and industry we find the present generation endow-
ing their heirs with education, which is surely the key
to progress in the future.

This being true, how can the florist ignore the sub-
ject as related to his own trade?

He has well equipped colleges in ever>^ State in the
Union where his son can be educated with a view to 4
career in floriculture. These same colleges will fur-
nish him young graduates year by year if he sends to
them for his new help. And these i,^ung men do not
require high salaries — just out of colleges, they are
eager to learn and know how to carrj'- out orders. One ,
trial of these men will be convincing.

Can the florists admit that theirs is the onl\' impor-
tant business in the country- that needs no educated men
in the future? If the].^ are not ready to admit this wtiy
do they not encourage j-oung men to go to agricultural
colleges instead of law schools and engineering colleges?
Every young man that goes to the latter is lost to the
trade forever; also ever>- young graduate of an agri-
cultural college who is discouraged and turns to some
other vocation because of the attitude of the men in
the florist's business is another man lost.

i.e foregoing is the writer's opinion of the matter of
ed'^tion of young florists in general. In regard to
us: funds of the S. A. F. for scholarships; I feel
th; the money could be better used to promote a cam-
pa 1 to further the use of graduated men and to carry
lefiiative measures through State governments where-
by ic floriculture departments at the colleges can be

men or professionals. How many of our present day
florists are being envied for their standing or occupa-
tion? Is not the greater portion of us slaving awa\-
with very little to show for it in many instances? Will
it pay or indicate success if we try to induce young
America to follow in our footsteps?

Some now in the florist trade are endowed with a
strong will and perseverance and those supplied with
such characteristics wmII win ; that's sure. But those
who have to be lured into our game and assisted in
various ways will always lack that tenacity of will to

sun ei-d. Funds useil in such endeavors would be better
iTupliiycd in raising the standard of our business, and
lliere is hardly another agency in this country that does
more to encourage us to better business ethics than The
Florists' Exchange. The old style apprenticeship is
still the one that gives a young man the best insight into
the workings of our business, plus better schooling or a
short course at some college. Of course only our broad-
est minded employers will take enough interest in the
apprentice and see to it that he is given every possible
chance to observe Nature and her laws. Nearly every
city of any consequence has a library where practical
books on our subjects may be found and studied by
those who ha\e the will to study and those are the only
boys that ought to be given the opportunity to serve as
apprentice.

Let's he broadminded and pay a willing and indus-
trious apprentice all he earns. Then we will soon have
an enthusiastic booster for our business and one that
will outstrip the college graduate at once in the practi-
cal field. Selecting the right boy and the right estab-
lishment and bringing them together are the principal
tasks f"r our industry. By all means support The Flo-
rists' Exchange in its endeavor to educate all of us
to broader minded business policies and see that every
apprentice becomes a regular reader of our greatest

"I am Unalterably Opposed to Ever Con-
sidering, for Many Years to Come, the
Distributing or Diminishing of the
Permanent Fund"

In answer to yours of the 10th, with reference to an
article appearing in The Florists' Exchange, issue of
December 11th, with reference to a plan for the future of
the Permanent Fund, I wish to say that in my opinion
the article contained some points of merit, but on the
whole I am opposed to making the matter of acquiring
educational training too easy, as it seems quite natural
in life that things which come to us in the easiest way
are the ones we least appreciate. I think the same holds
true with the scholarship. Many restrictions and provi-
sions would have to be written into it before, in my opin-
ion, it could be made worthwhile.

I am giving the above expression only providing the
matter of disseminating the Permanent Fund was under
consideration. I want to state frankly that I am unalter-
ably opposed to even considering for many-years to come
the distribution or diminishing of the Permanent Fund. I
feel the fund should be made large enough so that the
interest accrued therefrom would cover the operating ex-
penses of the Society.

FLORIDA vs. CALIFORNIA

When this Discussion ends — most probably before it does end — our readers generally will
know much about Florida as a horticultural field. To the many who write in its favor it must have
seemed as though it was high time that State had its inning.

i 1885-FIorida— 1921

rr^ual trend after many years, the way in which it
Tia^s the most of its advantages and rises above the
iifulties that Nature sets in its way, that counts,

:oi'ibution to our friendly controversy, in the form

:3rida, he says, or. at least all that was dry enough
0 ve on, was originally densely wooded, requiring
reendous labor to clear it in readiness for any crop.
3e re the Civil War there were slaves to do this, but

Tampa's (Fla.) Warning to Violators. (See text)

Now consider California. It offered great open mesas
or prairies requiring but slight exertion to get them
ready for cultivation. It was settled by real white men,
ambitious, energetic, well trained and experienced, many
of them called out during the gold rush, and whose
descendants are by inheritance enterprising and progres-
sive. They were soon raising grains, wine grapes,
raisins — many profitable crops made all the more profit-
able when handled through the efficient organizations
that early came into being. The very fact that it was
difficult to get a living because of great distances,
droughts, etc., brought out the most ingenious schemes
and all kinds of machinery for working large areas and
multiplying the power of individual men. It is not
strange that California grew so fast and waxed so
great.

Yet today, we, in Florida, think the State has just
as good railroad facilities and service as California.
■We believe that the tide of travel and of settlers is
rapidly rising in Florida's favor. And the backward
element in the old-time population is being educated
and made progressive by means of many agents, such
as the county advisors, etc.

In short, our correspondent would have it that the
dawn of Florida's greatness is but just breaking. That
the past has been a long, dim period of struggle against
many difficulties, that a bright and glorious future
awaits those who put their faith in the land and rein-
force it with their works. And who knows but what he
may be entirely right?

No Billboards on Tampa's [Memorial Highway

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

I am sending you a photo which I think will be of
interest to you, a souvenir of our recent tour in Florida.
I can assure you it is a source of great satisfaction to
me to find there is one city in the Union not afraid
to express its opinion in regard to the "billboard" nui-
sance— those hideous scars upon the face of Nature.

I hope you will publish this picture of Tampa's warn-
ing to violators. It stands at the beginning of Tampa's
beautiful Memorial Highway, or "Road of Remem-
brance," running from Tampa nearly to Oldsmar, which
is about 16 miles distant, and is a part of the public
highway from Tampa to St. Petersburg. It is a fine,
hard surfaced road, grass bordered, and has alternate
plantings of Oleander and "Water Oak," as I believe
it is called. When these plantings have had a few years'
growth it will be a marvelously beautiful road. I wish
other cities would follow Tampa's lead; it makes me
heartsick when I see the hundreds upon hundreds of
these billboard abominations that are ^ distributed all
through our own city of Cincinnati, which could easily
be one of the most beautiful of our country if only her
people would be more wideawake to the Idea of con-
serving beauty. With kindest regards, I am
Yours very sincerely,

of advertising matter used by the national publicity
committee in the leading magazines were shown.

The Bankers Notice Things

The wonderful prosperity of the past year was at-
tributed by the secretary to the influence of the adver-
tising. A certain banker in Chicago had recently asked
one of the florists how it was that the deposits of the
florists in the Chicago banks was larger in proportion
this year than that of any other industry. While other
industries showed decrease in their bank deposits, the
florists showed a gain. It was also noted that Dr. Dill
Robertson, the city health commissioner, reported the
death rate in January and February 58 per cent less
than in these two months one year ago. Yet with all
this decrease in the death rate, the florist's industry is
on a better plane than ever. All this, it was argued,
is due to the fight the trade is making, through the
association, for its share of the business.

What Advertising Does

Aug. Poehlmann recited manv instances where small
mdustries grew large by advertising, notably the Kraft
Bros, in Cheese, and Kitchen Klenser. Sapolio and
other highly advertised commodities. He said adver-
tising shoiild be continuous ; some one f otmd fault with
the association because they advertised flowers at
Christmas and Easter when there was more demand
than stock. He defended the association in this saying
the advertising should go on, stock or no stock, as it
was educating the people to buy when stock was plenti-

Guides for New York State Income
Tax Payers

Compiled for "The Florists' Exchange," by

Mark Graves, Director New York State

Income Tax Bureau

{New York subscribers can obtain any further

information desired in regard to their income

tax returns by furnishing Mr. Graves,

State Income Tax Bureau, Conip-

trcller's Office, Albany, N. ¥.,

their problems.)

Florists will be interested to know that the New York
State Income Tax returns for 1920 are due by April 15,
1921, mstead of March 15 as in 1920. This change wili
allow a breathing spell after payment of the Federal tax
on March 15.

Audit of the 1919 returns shows that many florists
charged off losses on cut flowers and potted plants,
caused by wilting and frost. This is not a proper de-
duction under the provisions of the law. If inventories
are kept, this loss will be reflected in cost of goods sold,
by reason of a low inventory at the end of the year;
or if no inventories are kept and the business is con-
ducted on a cash basis, i. e. the books showing actual
receipts and disbursements, these losses will be re-
flected by a reduced profit. Suppose a florist paid
$2000 for cut flowers which would have sold for $4000
yielding a profit of $2000; $500 worth of flowers were
destroyed by frost, and the gross income was $3000.
Ihus It will be seen that the loss is reflected in the cost
of goods sold and in the reduction of profit from $2000
to $1500. ^

A large number of additional assessments were levied
against taxpayers because they misunderstood this pro-
vision of the law. and this detailed explanation is fur-
nished in the belief that it will avoid interest penalties
and continued correspondence which delays completion
of the audit of the return.

These losses of merchandise should not be confused
with losses of assets destroyed by fire, frost, wind, or
other casualties, or theft. Many florists keep on hand
a number of palms and ferns which are rented for
decorative purposes on festive and mourning occasions,
and are not always offered for sale. Included in the
term "assets" are palms, ferns, decorative plants, bas-
kets, stands, glassware, pottery, brackets and shelving.
As these do not constitute merchandise ordinarily of-
fered for sale by florists, any loss sustained from such
articles is properly deductible; this, of course, if not
compensated by insurance.

Assets lasting more than one year are subject to de-
preciation charges, illustrated as follows: Suppose 10
Kentias, or wooden (plant) stands, cost $250, and were
assumed to last five years; each year $50 could be de-
ducted, so that at the end of the serviceability of the
asset enough will have been set aside to replace it.

At this point it may be well to explain the meaning
of the phrase "cost or fair market value if acquired

ful. He deprecated the fact that there were some
kickers against the association, but some one had to
be the pioneers in all such movements and the others
would soon fall in line. He said that the florists cannot
get rich off each other; all the increased business must
come from the public. It is them we have to educate
to buy more flowers. Since the florists' advertising
began, they had succeeded in getting $500,000 out of the
public they were not getting before.

The proposed organization of a cooperative campaign
in Detroit. Cleveland, and other large surrounding cities
meant only the use of more flowers, and the Chicago
wholesale market would benefit more than any other
part of the country by these organizations. It was
therefore up to Chicago to boost its own organization
and blaze the trail for all other cities who want to do
likewise.

Everyone Says It

Peter Pearson told of the recent banquet where
preparations were put under way for the Pageant of
Progress. Out of sixteen of the most prominent indus-
tries in Chicago, the florists formed an important part.
At the banquet when the florists were called on, a gen-
eral cry went up of "Say it with Flowers" from over
660 business men present showing how far-reaching our
slogan is. This, it was said, would not have happened
five years ago. He also told of the work the florists of
the city had some time ago in stopping the peddling of
cheap flowers on the streets by fakirs. As soon as this
was stopped the department stores used surplus stock
in advertising other lines. He did not want flowers to
be used as a side line to anything, and it was up to the
florists tO' handle their own products to the best advan-
tage that can and will be made profitable by an aggres-

sive campaign of cooperative advertising such as ' i
association is doing.

Candy Trade Falls

On large florist who. by the way, also conducts
candy store in connection, was asked about St. Vali ■
tine's Day business. He said the sale of candy for ■ ■
past St. Valentine's Day had dropped fully 50 per o i
compared with a year ago, but the sale of flowers h i
gone away over all former records.

It was moved and carried that the trustees of y
association be empowered to start at once a campai|
to increase the membership of the association, especia
among the retailers, among which there are more i
members than any branch of the organization.

Secretary Swenson called attention to the fact {
Carnations were selling on the Chicago wholesale \
ket two weeks ago for $2 per 100. Their recent adii
tisement in the Chicago papers telling of the gE
quantity of flowers and reasonable prices created
a demand that prices had arisen from $2 to $4 per \

A Non-Member*s Excuse

A call was made for all members of the associg
to rise to their feet and, all not so arising, were i
for reasons why they were not members. One
tried to explain the cause of non-membership by'1|
fact that the Roses were so poor when he bought:!
special. Half of them were not up to grade. He,|"
told if he joined the association and ordered good s
he would have no cause for complaint. W. J. Ko
told him the Roses were better grown today than^
before. It provoked a rather amusing discussion.-

A vote of thanks was given Paul Weiss, fod
handsome vases of Roses contributed to decoratg
banquet tables.

prior to Jan. 1, 1919," which appears on the return.
The inception of the New York State Income Tax law
was Jan. 1. 1919, and the statute contemplated a fresh
start on that date. Every asset and accrued income was
declared total capital, and every liability and incurred
liability declared total liabilities. Each item was re-
valued at that time, regardless of the cost price, and
was inventoried at the fair market value, or what it
would be necessary to pay to obtain that item in open
market on Dec. 31, 1918. Therefore, upon sale or other
disposition of an asset acquired prior to Jan. 1, 1919,
the gain or loss is to be determined by the difference
between the sale price and the fair market value on
Jan. 1, 1919. Of course, the ruling in relation to dis-
position of property acquired after that date is the dif-
ference between the sales price and the cost.

Some nurserymen misconstrued the law when they
deduclted losses for destruction of a growing set of
trees or shrubs. One taxpayer claimed a loss of $5000
for destruction of a prospective crop of trees by blight.
It was necessary to disallow this item under the provi-
sions of the law. However, he was entitled to charge
off the cost of the seeds, labor, and spraying materials.
A case where a loss was allowed was in the destruction
by fire of 3000 shrubs actually sold several days prior
to the casualty. This was allowed because the profit
was added to income, and the loss, sustained later, re-
duced the income by the same amount previously added
to it.

Employers should remember that information cards
(Form 105) must be filed by them, giving the name,
address and amount paid to every employee earning
$1000 or more during the calendar year.

Blanks have been mailed to those who filed returns
last year, and auditors are again traveling throughout
the State to assist taxpayers in making up their returns.

Two More Florida Enthusiasts

Dear Mr. De La Mare :

Miami — I don't know where the city derived its nan
but such a name as Magic City or Queen City of t
Southland would be much more appropriate, judgi
by the wonderful progress being made here along Ian
scape development lines.

It must be a great comfort to my dear old frier
Alex. MacConnell, to know that two of his pupi
James Donn and William Sturrock, are taking a lea
ing active part in the development and beautifying
this tropical, man made wonderland of the South.

The remarkable energy and executive ability alo
landscape lines displayed by these two men is simp
marvelous. They come of pure old Scotch stock tl
had remained dormant for generations, only to bu!
forth in the country of their adoption.

We have had a most enjoyable time with Mr. a
Mrs. Donn. Met J. C. Vaughan, and heard abc
A. Schultheis, Eugene Dailledouze and J. A. Peters
being here.

We are on our way to Key West, then St. Petei

In the death of David W. Brooks, this
city has lost one of its pioneer florists.
There are but a few left of his day, but
all these surviving old timers are actively
engaged in business and would not be
content to stop working.

The florists of this city were all busy
for the funeral of Edward B. Hatch, pres-
ident of the Jons Pratt Co. There were
several P. T. D. orders and flowers were
received from New York, Boston and
Cromwell. Mr. Hatch was a great lover
of flowers, and although the obituary
said, "Kindly omit flowers," there was a
profusion of them.

Pendleton, of South Manchester, Conn.,
has moved into his new store, which is
one of the finest equipped floral estab-
lishments in that section of the State.
Brother Pendleton is a hustler and we all
wish him luck in his new venture.

plentiful and if the present outlook in
flowers is to be depended upon, we all
ought to have our share of good business.

Growers Association

' I Take a Review of Easter Plants

About a score of members met on Tues-
day morning, March 1, at the 42nd st,
ferry, Now Jersey side, for the purpose
<1|' embaiUing on the usual pre-Easter auto
tour aroimd adjacent plant growm^ es-
tablishments.

Among the party were R. J. Maenner.
W. Scott, A. Schultheis, Jr., F. Muu?., of
A. L. Miller, J. Landsman, A. Daiiern-
heim, Geo. Burgevin, C. Niemann and F.
R. Pierson, representing New Yoric, and
J. H. Fiesser, Henry Schmidt, J. Bau-
mann, H. Baumann, H. Schoelzel, H. S.
Mabie and John Burnie of New Jersey.

Spreading ourselves out in five cars, it
came "to my lot to be allocated to the
great 12-cylinder Packard, driven by A.
Schultheis "Spike." Let it be said that
with all the power in hand, our chauffeur
never once sought to put it over on the
rest.

A brief call at Of. H. Fiesser's place
disclosed great packing activity, and gee
whiz! the stag will need to do some pack-
ing between now and Easter to clear the
multitude of bulbs. Lilies, Spiraeas, Hy-
drangeas, Primula obconica. Genista and

Most of the stock was in great shape
and will fit in well for Easter trade. Not
long since, much was said in these columns
regarding blue Hydrangeas, and one read-
er ventured to ask why, if blue Hy-
drangeas were easy to produce, florists
did not offer them.

Mr. Fiesser's trouble is that he cannot
grow pink ones, unless he imports soil.
Every pink variety with him comes blue.

At Henry Schmidt's place nearby, we
found more blue Hydrangeas, plenty of
Primulas, and bulbs that will be available
around Easter time. Opposite, we found
A. Nienne with a fine batch of Lilies. An-
other short run, and we dropped into
the neat outfit of F. Engelin, where Ge-
raniums, Baby Rambler Eoses and bulbs
were a feature.

Thence to the well kept plant of J.
Baumann & Son is but a step, and here
we found stock looking fine. It may be
mentioned that Mr. Baumann, Sr., has
made a study of the Elderberry and the
Prune, and he gave a brief, illustrated
lecture on the same. Even F. R. Pierson
was interested.

H. Schoelzel, too, was ahle to show
Roses and Primulas. Baby Ramblers are
surely favorites these days.

By this time, everyone's dinner bell was
ringing and we invaded the sacred pre-
cincts of Dick Diederich's excellent restau-
rant facing the great amusement park.
What we got through there need not be
discussed, but when the writer viewed the
chicken bones on his own plate and com-
pared them with those on ^'Spike's" plat-
ter, he was convinced that more hard
training would be essential if he hoped to
emulate the College Point boy.

During the meal, we were favored with
music rendered by an electric piano with
violin attachment, an inspection of its
works allowed one to realize just how this
violin orchestra operated with such re-
markable effect.

Hiking away again, we left the Ho-
boken district and reached out to J. Savoy
of Secaucus, where Bougainvilleas galore
were rapidly showing color. Slipping over
his garden wall, we entered the exotic
nurseries, where Hydrangeas, Genistas,
Marguerites and Roses were shaping up in
great form. The Blue Rambler Rose,
Veilehenblau looked highly promising.

Getting aboard again, we sedately
meandered along the beautiful road to
Rutherford. It might be said here, that
Hoboken can show some good roads and
some bad. Many that we passed over to
reach the points of interest, surely rival
the "Slongh of Despond" recorded in the
"Pigrims Progress." We reached Ruther-
ford in due course, but it was only a
kind fairy watching over the 12-cyIinder
Packard that enabled "Spike" and his
party to arrive whole. A pesky pin hold-
ing the steering rod to the front wheels,
saw fit to break and, in a twinkling, we
were charging a specially big pole, which
we just clipped with the mud guard be-
fore our driver got on his brakes. Hap-
pily, we were only doing some 15 per hour.

otherwise this tale might never have been
told.

Julius Rochrs Co. was all a blowing in
the Lily line; plenty of open bloom and
heaps to follow. As for Genistas, Spirajas,
Hydrangeas, Marguerites and Roses, they
were past counting.

The moat interesting feature perhaps
was the orchid seedling house. We stewed
in a temperature of about 100 deg. plus,
in order to see the seedlings from the
commencement up to plants about two
years old. Every pot labeled scores of
thousands of them. In a box compart-
ment sat a youth transplanting seedlings
with a pair of tweezers. He only needed
a glass in his eye and he would have pass-
ed for a working watch repairer. An-
other interesting worker was the propa-
gator Gypsophila paniculata fl. pi. We
watched him grafting for a bit and then
discovered suddenly that he was one
Davies, a skillful hardy plantsman known
to us before the war split up family par-
ties. Right glad we were to talk old
times.

At Bobbink & Atkins, much the same
stock was visible, but there were more
Lilies. In place of orchids were Arau-
cariaa, and Ficus cuttings galore. Genistas,
Conifers, etc. There are still some Azaleas
here, too; thousands of them in all stages.
Leaving Rutherford we next landed at
Madsen & Christensen's, at Woodridge.
Here were more Genistas than we saw
anywhere, and the quality. Oh, my! This
firm surely can grow Genistas. Roses and
Marguerites, too, were fine indeed, the
latter as standards were wonderful.

At Lehnig & Winnefeld's, Hackensack,
there are some of the best grown Lilies
just right for Easter, and the Roses, both
baby type and trained Dorothy Perkins,
too, were superb.

The myriads of seedling Cyclamen in
flats were wonderful; Mr. Lehnig stated
they had never seen them so fine at this
date. One house devoted to plants for
seed, was a blaze of color, Salmon pre-
dominating, a great sight.

A brief look over H. S. Mabie's great
stock of Geranium plants, reached only
after further mud larking, ended the
tour, and we then piled into the Roman
gardens at Hackensack where a feast fit
for the "gods" awaited us. Truly, the
plant growers do enjoy an occasional day
off.

Propagating Birch Trees

Please say whether the cut leaved white
Birch can be grown from cuttings? —
E. M. S., Pa.

— Varietal forms of such trees are
usually propagated from stools, i.e., trees
are cut back when young and never al-
lowed to make a big stem. The numer-
ous growths made each year are layered,
and severed after rooting. Much grafting
and budding too, is done; the weeping
forms can only be made serviceable by
budding or grafting on ordinary tall
stems.

No doubt it is possible to root cuttings
also. Soft or semi-mature cuttings in
early Summer would doubtless root in
shaded frames, or in early Spring in
gentle heat if cuttings were available.
Ripe cuttings laid in in the Fall could
also be set out in the Spring. Cuttings
would not make such rapid headway as
grafts or layers. Try all methods as your
location may not suit cuttings to any
great extent.

Owing to the enormous crowds attend-
ing the fortnightly meetings at the R.
H. S. Hall, London, it has been arranged
to keep the exhibitions open for two days,
instead of one as hitherto.

It is assumed that the attendance will be
more distributed, as those desiring a
closer view of the exhibits without being
subjected to the crush, will doubtless visit
the shows on the second day.

That some means of coping with the
situation had to be arranged, was made
still more apparent through the accession
of about 1500 new members in 1920. If
this rate of progress continues, the mem-
bership of the society will overtop 20,000
with tne next three years.

The Market

March 1. — The sudden arrival of
cold, stormy weather on Feb. 21 had the
customary shortening effect upon this mar-
ket. Just a few days without sunshine was
sufficient to change conditions from those
of superabundance to those of decided
scarcity by the end of the week. At the
close of business, Feb. 26, practically
everything saleable was cleaned up. While
prices did not materially advance, much
stock of ordinary quality, that has been
going to the street venders of late, found
an outlet through legitimate channels.

Washington's Birthday did not appear
to create a ripple in the current of busi-
ness. This was undoubtedly caused by the
absence of sentiment-creating advertising
for the occasion. Perhaps the modest
sum of $300 used for the purpose might
have produced an increase of approximate-
ly $10,000 in the general business of the
florists of the city. Here, indeed, is salu-
tary food for thought.

The market affords a liberal assortment
of stock in its normal state, to supply all
needs and to provide the means for the
conducting of profitable special sales by
wide awake retailers. Prevailing prices
are substantially lower than at this time
last year.

Retailers Organize

Sixty-five retail florists assembled
at the HoUenden Hotel on Feb. 22 and
formed a retailers' association for the
handling of questions peculiar to that
branch of the trade. Timothy Smith was
elected president, Charles Bastian, vice-
president and Miss Ruth Mercer, treas-
urer; the secretary is to be chosen by the
board of directors, which consists of eight
members, who were also elected at the
meeting.

This is a step in the direction of the
specialization now so evident in the course
of business evolution. There are many
pressing problems confronting the retailers
who themselves can best solve them; for
this reason it is hoped that the organiza-
tion may enjoy a long and fruitful career.

Perhaps the most vital matter for its
immediate consideration is publicity which
must needs be generously employed to in-
sure business progress. There are some
that prefer strictly retail advertising, car-
ried on by retailers alone. This undoubt-
edly would produce results of a more or
less tangible nature. Others maintain,
however, that the best results would at-
tend the handling of the publicity upon
the allied trade basis, which plan works
well in other prosperous trade centers and
is sanctioned by the National Publicity
Committee.

With funds gathered upon the one per
cent plan, this should provide an annual
amount of approximately ?10,000, for use
upon the accepted basis of 75 and 25 per
cent for local and national publicity. It
is agreed that the former expenditure of
$2000 per year, collected on the per-
sonal suDscription plan, materially boosted
local business. What then should be the
result of the use of treble that amount
managed by an advertising concern of
proven ability.

Under prevailing business conditions,
the problem of publicity completely domi-
nates all others. It is a question in which
every member of the trade should be in-
tensely interested. Funds for the purpose
are most equitably raised upon the assess-
ment plan, the amount of which should
be satisfactory to all concerned, so that
the plan once adopted shall be abiding.
Eventually, this plan will be adopted by
Cleveland florists; why not now?

Tarions Notes

The March meeting of the Florists
Club will be held in the assembly rooms
at the Hollenden Monday, March 7, 1921.

Lloyd Charlesworth, who has been in-
disposed for several days, is again able to
attend to business.

Out of town visitors last week were;
Mrs. Charles Woodman, Alliance, 0.;
Harry Walther, Youngstown, 0.; Louis
Hecock, Elyria, 0.; Ed. Heepe and Joe
Cannon, Akron, 0.

The palatial new home of the Jones-
Russell Co. at 1430 Euclid ave. was
formally opened to the public Saturday,
Feb. 26. The opening was attended by a
multitude of the flower loving public of
the Fifth City, who came to inspect what
is justly termed the "most beautiful store
in America." J. M.

Tbe Market

The market the past week has held
up well. Prices stiffened and at no time
has there appeared a glut. Cloudy and
cool weather shortened up the supply in
Violets considerably, and they were quot-
ed at $1 per 100. Cold weather extend-
ing South, cut off the supply in Southern
Jonquils and thus helped push the local
product which brought from $5 to $6 per
100. At no time has there been an over-
supply in Carnations, which sold for 8c.;
poor grades moved at 4c. to 6e. Sweet
Peas are quoted at SI to §2 per 100;
Roses, $5 to $25. Greens are selling well;
Plmnosa is now more plentiful and has
lowered in price. The plantsmen, with
Easter but three weeks off, are kept busy
getting their stock in shape.

News Notes

The fact that the 10c. store is
disposing of plants at cut rate prices and
also cut flowers at a very low margin of
profit, is becoming quite a problem for the
retailers to overcome. Narcissus was
bought at $4 per 100 and at special retail
sales, made $5 per 100. This profit is en-
tirely too small for the average retailer
to work with.

Mullanphy, florists, are making things
move in their new store at 8th st. and
St. Charles. Their North end store is
well stocked with plants and florists'
novelties.

W. A. Rowe and Oscar May are bring-
ing large quantities of flowers into the
St. Louis market.

F. H. Weber's store on Olive and Taylor
is getting ready for Easter; some beauti-
ful specimen plants are seen with a well
arranged supply of all varieties in cut
flowers and novelties.

A visit to Ales Waldbart & Sons on
Hamilton ave ., found them very busy.
They have a large nursery trade and also
do a splendid plant and cut flower busi-
ness.

Theodore Miller's store is one of the
prettiest and neatest in the city. We
found the boss busy and, as president of
the Retail Association, anxious to advance
its work among all the retailers.

George H. Angermueler's store is well
stock with Easter novelties. The cut
flower department, which is managed by
Fred Alves, is doing a lively business.
This gentleman has a hobby of selling out
and having no leftovers.

The counters of Wm. C. Smith, Whole-
sale Floral Co., are well stocked daily
with Violets, Sweet Peas, plants, Roses
and Carnations.

The St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower
Co. is receiving large consignments, and
is cleaning out nicely in all lines.

The Carnation and Rose teams of the
"Say it with Flowers Bowling League"
are tied for first place this week.

Dayton, 0.

Feb. 21. — ^Valentine's Day brought good
business, although not equal to last year.
Then Carnations retailed from $3.50 to
$5 a doz. and Roses $5 up. This year
some stores sold Carnations as low as
$1.50, but mostly $2 and $2.50, and Roses
S3 up. There were more Violets and
Sweet Peas and Freesias; also pot plants
such as Primula Cyclamen and bulb stock
which sold well.

Much of the business was attributed
to the cooperative ads running in the local
papers.

Carnations are off crop a little,
while Roses are more plentiful, as is bulb
stock and green goods.

Freesia, Calendula, Buddleia, Sweet
Peas, and baby Primroses, are to be seen
in small quantities.

Funeral work seems to be the only thing
that keeps us going.
Odd Notes

J. W. Ritter's store has been
brightened up with a new coat of paint.

The Zetlitz Floral Co. ireports big
business; also J. W. Rodgers, the Heiss
Co. and J. T. Young.

Westwood Floral Co. is doing a fine
shipping business in Geraniums.

The Furst Floral Co. has opened up a
new stand in the Central Market.

The Arcade Market now has four flower
stands.

One of our department stores has put m
a floral department. This is to be de-
plored on account of the small margin
plants are being sold at.

John Foendenbuger and H. E. Survey
report a good business as soon as the

weather opens; they are landscape gar-
deners.

Gus Reiniger has a fine lot of Crimson,
Cineraria and other E'asi er greetings
plants.

S. G. Snyder reports having more
orders than he can fill for Pansies and
Vinca.

Rolf Zetlitz says his 150,000 seedling
Cyclamen are coming fine, mostly 8 to 10
leaves now.

The Heiss Co. report good business for
last week.

One of the interesting things seen last
week was a Buddleia asiatica which oc-
cupies the north end of a Sweet Pea
house at the Abbey a\e. greenhouse. It is
18ft. high and 10ft. across, and had thou-
sands of racemes of flowers, some a foot
long.

J. W. Rodgers has been appointed to
chase caterpillars by the new city man-
ager next Summer.

Election of officers for the ensuing year
takes place at The Dayton Florists Club
meeting Tuesday, March 8, at the Y. M.
C. A. This is practically the only thing
of interest to florists outside of business,
which, like the weather has been very
erratic last week, some days cold, near
blizzards and warm sunshine, sometimes
all in one day.

The florists will probably all take the
new aerial highway from here to Wash-
ington next Summer to the convention.
This is not only the first of its kind in
the U. S., but also in the world and we
feel proud of it.

San Francisco, Calif.

Visitors in town this week included
Phillip J. Foley, of the Foley Greenhouse
Manufacturing Co., Chicago, 111.

Kenneth S. Murray has introduced a
new Rose, which has not yet been named.
It is a sport of Columbia, pale pink in
color. It was very well received by the
leading retailers, who claim that on ac-
count of its splendid color it will be a
great success.

The Conservatory Flower Shop on Lar-
kin St., has been taken over by the Thomas
Floral Co., of Polk st. Michael Thomas
will be in charge of the new acquisition,
while his brother will manage the Thomas
Floral Co. on Polk st.
California Seed Notes

Mr. Waldo Rohnert, of Gilroy, Cal.,
is now making an extended Eastern trip
in the interest of his business.

The matter of having pure seed bills
pending in the State Legislature has been
so continuous that the seed trade has
settled down to take the situation in a
matter of fact way, always hoping for the
best. Usually, it has had to contend with
only one seed bill at a time. At the
present moment, however, there are two
bills pending; S. B. No. 6, introduced by
State Senator Rigdon, and A. B. No. 81,
by Assemblyman Cummings. They closely
resemble one another in substance, and
provide that all agricultural seed mix-
tures shall be labeled to show the kind of
seed, bushel weight, percentage of purity
and of weed seeds, and the names of the
noxious weeds contained therein. En-
forcement of the proposed law would be
vested in the director of agriculture, who
will be required to maintain a free testing
laboratory. Senator Rigdon's bill would
appropriate $38,000 to carry out its pro-
vision.

Another bill of importance is one by
State Senator Boggs, designed to prevent
the propagation of noxious weeds, by mak-
ing it a misdemeanor to ship into any un-
infected area any one of 16 varieties
which it names.

Assemblyman Cleveland introduced a
bill which would make it compulsory to
label any stock grown on land infested
with Wild Morning Glory, and prohibit-
ing the planting of any seed grown on
such land. J. R. W.

The application is printed as a four-pa(

The Market

Feb. 24. — Reports from all shops
give us the pleasurable opportunity of
saying that _ business is good and that

in heavy supply — is finding a better mar-
ket, and in all shops, with one or two
exceptions in the case of so called "sales,"
is still bringing from $1 to $2 per doz.
The new varieties. Van Waveren's Giant

The Market

March 1. — Perhaps about the best
we can say of the conditions in the whole-
sale cut flower market this week, is that
the ^'Patient" is no worse than last week
and perhaps a little better. Arrivals in
general are medium, and the general de-
mand continues to be light.

American Beauty Poses are in extremely
small supply and the price of last week
stands, namely $1 to $1.50 for special
grade blooms and corresponding prices for
the other grades. In other Hoses, top
grade blooms in general are selling at 6c.
each for the old time Elillarney, up
to 30c., but Hadley of that grade
is realizing 50c., Key $1 and Pre-
mier 40c. No. 2 grade blooms are selling
at |2 to $3 per 100. For the ordinary
Killarneys up to $5 to §6 for the pre-
ferred yarieties.

Carnations continue to be in rather
large supply and they are meeting with
a continued weak demand. Select grade
blooms are selling at -54 to §5 per 100 and
the other grades at $2 to 53.

Cattleyas are in rather large supply;
the demand is about the same and the
range of price is 25c. to 50c. each in gen-
■eral, but a few extra choice blooms are
realizing 75c. There are some Cypripe-
•diums of the ordinary varieties still in
the market; these are selling at $2 to $i
per doz., with a few Oncidiums selling
at §8 to $10 per 100 flowers. Gardenias
are in even smaller supply than last week
and are selling at $12 per doz. flat. The
arrivals of Lily of the Valley have in-
creased and the demand has fallen off, con-
sequently the price of $2 to $6 per 100 is
hard to maintain. Longiflorum Lilies ap-
pear to be in smaller supply; they are
moving sluggishly at $15 to $20 per 100. I

The present supply of bulbous flowers
not previously mentioned includes Callas
which are meeting with a weak demand
at $1 to $3 per doz.; a small supply of
Freesias at 15c. to 35c. per doz. sprays; a
below medium supply of Paperwhite Nar-
cissi at 40c. to 60c. per bimch; a fairly
large supply of Daffodils which in general
are selling at 35c. to 50c. per bunch, the
exception being for splendid blooms of
some of the newer large flowered varieties
which are selling at 75c. to $1; Tulips at
25e. to 60c. in general, the exception be-
ing for the Darwin varieties which are
selling at 75c. to $1.25.

The medium supply of miscellaneous
"flowers includes Antirrhinum at 75c to
$2, Buddleia at 50c. to $1, Calendula at
25c. to 50c., Lilac at $1.50 to $2, Migno-
nette at 25c. to 75c.; Myosotis at 15e. to
35c., Primula obconica 15c. to 25c.; Wall-
flowers at 15c. to 2oc, all per bunch of
A dozen; Daisies, si to $2.50; Pansies SI
to $3; Sweet Peas, 50c. to $3; Violets,
double, 25c. to 50c; singles, 35c. to 40e
all per 100. The demand for this mis-
cellaneous stock is extremely light.

The supply of all kinds of greens aji-
pears to be ample and the demand for
these medium at quoted prices.

norists CInb Exhibits

The exhibition committee of the New
York Florists Club requests all growers,
-especially local growers, to send in any-
thing they can in the way of novelties or
-well grown cut flowers or pot plants for
its next meeting, to be held Monday.
March 14.

A certificate of award is given by
-the club for an exhibit after it is judged
worthy of it by its committee on awards.
This should be considered an asset for
.any grower and is worth trying for. Club
members should make an effort to keep
up these monthly exhibits which are a
benefit not only to the club and the
-trade, but as well to the exhibitors. All
exhibitions to be judged at this next meet-
ing should be addressed to the chair-

man of the committee, I. A. Fight, c/o
Koman J. Irwin, 43 W. 18th St., city, and
sent in time to reach him on Monday,
;Mar. 14, not later than 5 p.m.
Flo-wer Show Notes

There was a final meeting of the
Flower Show committee held on Monday
of this week. All arrangements were
completed and the outlook is that it will
be an overwhelming success. Practically
all the space has been reserved. The
Flower Show program goes to the press
March 8. Anyone desiring to be repre-
sented therein must have his copy in
before that date. Great interest is being
manifested by the ladies of the Garden
Clubs regarding the part they are to take
in the exhibition. Several entrances have
been made in the Bird Bath competition.
There is also great interest being shown by
the ladies of the Cities Garden Club in
arranging for the window bos competition
which is open only to members of garden
clubs and amateurs; no doubt, this will
be an extremely attractive feature of the
show. Special attention is called by the
management to the rule requiring entries
in competition to be in the secretary's of-
fice by Monday, Mar. 10. If entries have
not been made, intending exhibitors should
hasten' to do so. There is a great demand
for trade tickets which can be procured
only from F. W. Payne, president of the
International Exhibition Co., 7th floor.
Grand Central Palace, city. All members
of the Horticultural Society of New York
and of the New York Florists Club who
are in good standing -will receive a sea-
son ticket.

Harry Charles, 104 W. 28th st., has be-
come a member of the Wholesale Florists
Protective Association.

Frank H. Traendly, president of the
Wholesale Florists Protective Association,
reports that 100 per cent of the members
of this association have . paid in the 50
per cent of their subscriptions. This is
certainly an excellent showing, especially
when we consider that this association,
from its nature, is really under less obli-
gation to make subscriptions to the pub-
licity campaign than the several other
branches which make up the Allied Flo-
rists Trade Association of New York.

The variety of Sweet Peas now seen in
the wholesale market is large and many
of these are of excellent qualitv, but we
took pleasure in noting this week at J. S.
Fenrich's some fine blooms of a sport of
the Blanche Ferry type of Sweet Peas.
At this same place we noted some of the
finest stock, also, which we have seen in
the market this season.

Frank Dolausky of Dolansky-McDonald
Co., Boston, Mass., paid a visit to the
city this week, arriving on Tuesday night.

Arthur E. Miles, superintendent of the
orchid department Duke Farms, Somer-
ville, N. J., was in town on Tuesday of
this week. Mr. Miles reports that the
crop of Cattleya blooms has been most
satisfactory this season, both as regards
quantity and quality.

Chairman Roman J. Irwin of the Ban-
quet Committee of the N. Y. Florists Club
reports that the most careful preparation
is being made for the club s banquet,
which is to be held in the Biltmore Hotel
on .the evening of March 16. Reservations
of tables and applications for tickets are
already coming in. It will be a great
help to the chairman and his associates
on the committee if those who intend to
be at this most delightful event of the year
in florists' circles will communicate with
him as to reservations and tickets as soon
as possible. The members of the club
should, in all loyalty, get behind the mem-
bers of their own banquet committee, and
help them to make this one of 1921,
which occurs about the middle of the
period of the International Flower Show,
held in this city, March 14 to 20, one
overwhelming success.

We are pleased to learn that Thomas
Knight of the Julius Roehrs Co., is now
at home in Rutherford, convalescing after
being operated on for ulcers on the stom-
ach, at the Homeopathic Hospital, at

How many in the trade remember A.
Hulsebosch, a score or bo of years ago
quite a figure in New York in the im-
portation of Holland products? That
gentleman paid us a personal call last
week, the first time we had seen him in
over 20 years, so old time reminiscences
were indulged in. He tells us that he is
the man who brought P. Ouwerkerk to this

feeling that under Qu. 37 there was noth-

Mr. Hulsebosch has four sons and two

{Continued from page 55Q)
Feb. 24, a total sum of $3875.54 was found
to have been collected from sources as
follows :

Growers, $1438.04.

Supply Dealers, $237.50.

Wholesalers, $1175.

Bulb and Seedsmen, $700.

It was decided to insert an advertise-
ment in seven New York and Brooklyn
papers, not later than Wednesday or
Thursday, March 2 or 3. This advertising
not to coat more than $500. The adver-
tising committee met on Monday, Feb.
28, to carry out this plan.

There were present at the meeting of
Feb. 24, but two retailers, Nicholas
Lales, representing the Greek-American
Florists Ass'n, and Wm. A. Rodman of
Brooklyn. Both these gentlemen re-
gretted the non-attendance of other re-
tailers and of the present state of inac-
tion of retailers generally, but they
pledged themselves to solicit popular sub-
scriptions from retailers and to send in
such funds to the treasurer. Further
steps will be taken to assist the retailers
interested in enlisting the aid of the retail
trade generally.

At this meeting Aubrey S. Nash was
made secretary in place of John Young,
whose resignation was accepted, and F. H.
Traendly, treasurer. An executive com-
mittee was chosen consisting of F. R. Pier-
son, F. H. Traendly, Emil Schloss, William
A. Hodman, R. J. Irwin, A. Schultheis, A
Nash, A. M. Henshaw, Philip Cos and
L. Dupuy. Also ■ an advertising conmiit-
tee, consisting of A. M. Henshaw, F. H
Traendly, F. R. Pierson, Wm. A. Rodman,
Wm. Badgley, A. Nash and John Young.

The executive committee will meet at an
early date to consider the incorporation
of the association and the adoption of by-
laws, etc.

_ Ten of the growers present at the meet-
mg on Friday, Feb. 11, have failed to
send in their subscriptions to date. In
most cases this is on account of unfore-
seen circmnstances and their subscriptions
are expected to be received at an early
date.

It is hoped that the above action will
meet with the approval of all subscrib-
ers and that each subscriber will appoint
himself a "Committee of One" to get
other growers to take part in the move-
ment. I take this opportunity to thank
those who have been ready with their
money and their active interest, and am
hopeful that by all pulling together we
can accomplish great things in the future
for the good of our trade, not only in the
matter of the collection of funds for ad-
vertising, but later by sincere cooperation
and endeavor to correct many of the evils
existent in the trade.

^, . . A. M. Henshaw.

Chairman A. F. T. Ass'n, Sec'y and
Treas. N. Y. G. Ass'n.

— Since the above reached our hands
JMr. Henshaw reports additional receipts
amounting to $300.

New Jersey and New York Plant
Growers Association

An Occasion of Gaiety at the McAIpin

Whatever may be the faults of the
plant growers, they certainly do not take
their pleasures sadly.

For several years past, the annual din-
ner has been sidetracked but, on Feb.
23, some 30 or more members brought
along their ladies and friends to thb
Green Room of the McAlpin Hotel, New
York, with the avowed intention of mak-
ing up for lost time.

Between 50 and 60 were present and,
as is usually the case, the start of the
feast was carried well beyond the hour
originally specified, so that most of us
had an appetite that assured us of having
full value.

An excellent quartette of jazz instru-
mentalists occupied one corner of the
room and, when the music struck up after
the soup, a number of couples had suffi-
ciently appeased their hunger to allow
them to exercise their terpsichorean abili-
ties.

The menu was an excellent one and
with each succeeding course, others were
stimulated into tripping around the va-
cant half of the hall, which had evidently
been specially prepared for the occasion.
The slipperiness of the floor secretly made
one hope that the photographer and his
entire bag of tricks would afford us a
demonstration of flying, but nothing hap-

pened save the bang with its resultant
flattering portrait of all present, price,
$1.50 net.

However, we got through the dinner,
even trying to master the Salad Moderne,
but it beat most of us. Nevertheless, it
failed to take the pep out of the diners;
indeed, it may have been responsible for
the greater show of activity developed
later.

President A. M. Dauernheim briefly ex-
plained that long speeches were not per-
missible unless he was given one day's
notice, but he gave A. L. Miller, Julius
Roehrs, Secretary W. H. Siebrecht, C.
Schultheis and I. S. Hendrickson an op-
portunity to air their lungs.

All showed a decided shortness of
breath but, when the bandsmen suddenly
slid away to eat, A. L. Miller gave a
whoop and, with the four Schultheis boys,
took possession of the jazz instruments of
torture. Mrs. W. Schultheis, Jr., acted
as accompanist, A. L. Miller taking the
side drum, the others working the big
drum, sasaphone and other lines for all
they were worth. Tiring of discord, the
Schultheis boys took to singing and
William, who practices as a doctor, dem-
onstrated he was a soloist of no mean
order, his brothers aiding in the chorus of
Annie Laurie.

The genial "Spike," looking not unlike
Fatty Arbuckle, took an active part in
proving that College Point is a place
where something more than good plants
come from.

A. L. Miller, just back from Florida,
treated the crowd to a step dance S, la
Spanish, but he made a poor show at
kicking the tambourine above his head.
He did exercise the professional touch by
gathering up a collection.

Altogether it was a most enjoyable
function. Apart from those mentioned,
most of whom brought their wives and
lady friends, we noted Mr. and Mrs. H. S.
Mabie, Mr. and Mrs. H. Baumann, Mr.
and Mrs. R. J. Irwin, Mr. and Mrs. C.
Weber and daughters, Mr. and Mrs. W.
A. Phillips, Mr. and Mrs. Ankers, Mr.
and Mrs. J. Landsman, and J. H. Fiesser.

The Market

March 1. — Since the last report
there has been a gradual breaking away
from the lethargic conditions of the previ-
ous week. The middle of the week just
past was better than the first two days,
and the close of the week showed a de-
cided improvement over all recent condi-
tions. This was brought about by an in-
creased demand. The market for the pres-
ent week opened as near normal as it has
been in a long time. There is an abun-
dance of stock so that the improved con-
ditions has not been brought about by a
decline in supply, but by a healthy and
substantial increase in demand.

The bright Springlike weather of the
past few days has brought out quantities
of stock in all lines; the only fear now is
that all crops coming in full at this time
may result in lesser crops a few weeks
later when the big Easter demand will
need to be taken care of. There are those,
however, who say there will be abundant
crops for Easter, not only in cut flowers,
but in Lilies as well, always the stellar
product of the Easter market.

American Beauty Roses are in fair sup-
ply and meeting with a demand daily of
sufficient volume to keep all moving. The
supply of other varieties is good and qual-
ity excellent and while prices have
dropped from the January standard they
are still sufficiently remunerative to be
semi-satisfactory to the grower, at the
same time yielding the full measure of
satisfaction to the buyers. Short stock is
selling at $4 and up to $25 for the real
fancy article.

Carnations are in full crop and can be
bought in quantities for very little
money compared with what they were
bringing a month ago. There is a lot of
mediocre stock that can be bought for
$2 per 100 and then up to $8 for Laddie
and other fancies.

Sweet Peas are increasing in supply and
the quality is much better. The dropping
of the blooms during the recent period of
cloudy weather is regarded as over for
the season. The supply of Violets from the
Hudson River section is large. They are
arriving in better condition but still they
do not move only at low prices.

Bulbous stock is considered to have
reached the zenith of the season's produc-

All Chicago wholesale cut flower houses
closed on Thursday last from 9 o'clock
to il a.m. on account of the funeral of
the late Peter Reinberg, one of the larg-
est wholesale growers.

Elaborate Funeral tor Noted. Grower

The funeral of the late Peter Rein-
berg was one of the most impressive and
largely attended of any in Chicago for
many years. There were a thousand uni-
formed men in the funeral procession, 500
each of policemen and firemen. The
Knights of Columbus, the Catholic Order
of Foresters, the Cook County Commis-
sioners, the bailifs, sheriffs and City Hall
attendants were all in the line of march
wearing appropriate badges. There were
also companies of Boy Scouts and nurses'
organizations. The K. of C. band rendered
appropriate music. Traffic was stopped for
hours on Sheridan rd., the beauty thor-
oughfare of the city, to all but the funeral
attendants. There were press photograph-
ers by the dozen, and flowers by truck

ads.

A large representation of the trade was
present, the Chicago Florists Club sending
a handsome basket of flowers. All the
leading wholesale houses sent handsome
floral pieces. An urn 6ft. high made solid
in white Carnations and trimmed with
orchids was the offering of the county
agents. The commissioners of the Forest
Preserve sent a typically appropriate piece
resembling a tree stump made of bark that
was used as a receptacle for armfuls of
American Beauty Roses. In the center of
the Roses was a branch cut from the for-
est preserve holding a bird's nest. A chair
of full size made solid of white Carnations
and traced with orchids, with a large
cluster on the seat was possibly the most
striking piece among the many. Of pil-
lows, wreaths, crosses and sprays there
■ t have been several hundred pieces all
told.

The will of Mr. Reinberg, which was
filed in probate Saturday, bequeathed vir-
tually all of his large estate to his widow,

brother, five sisters and an adopted son.

n exact estimate of the estate runs it
;e to $1,000,000. During his lifetime
Mr. Reinberg contributed large sums to
Dublic and private charities and is known
to have aided hundreds of distressed per-
sons. One of the most important parts
of the estate is the greenhouse property
comprising 2,000,000 sq. ft. of glass, all in
cut flowers. It is stated that the business
will be continued under the direction of
Adam Zenter, a brother-in-law of the de-
ceased.

Exhibits Wanted for State Ass*n
Meeting

A. T. Hey, secretary of the Illi-
nois State Florists Ass'n has been in the
city for a few days boosting for the an-
nual meeting of the association at Urbana
March 8 and 9 (see program elsewhere
in this issue). He is urging florists that
have anything new or praiseworthy in
plants or cut flowers to send them for ex-
hibition. All such should be addressed to
Prof. H. B. Dorner at the Floricultural
Experiment Station, Urbana, 111. It is
the purpose of the association to hold a
Fall flower show and exhibition in one of
the leading cities of the State next No-
vember. The particulars will be decided
at the forthcoming meeting.

Paul R. Klingsporn of the Chicago
Flower Growers attended the meeting of
the Minnesota State Florists Ass'n at St.
Paul, Minn., on Feb. 17. He had on ex-
hibition there some vases of Premier, Rus-
sell and Milady Roses that attracted con-
siderable attention.

Allie Zech of Zech & Mann made a trip
to the greenhouses* of the principal Lily
growers for the purpose of getting a line
of the stock for Kaster. He reports a good
supply in sight, but not as many blooms
to the plants as a year ago.

The Allied Florists Ass'n had an attrac-
tive ad in the daily papers last week for
the purpose of creating a demand at an
off time when the market is heavily sup-
plied. They state that the continued mild
weather and sunshine has literally forced
thousands of plants into bloom and the
supply is nearer normal than it has been
in months and that accordingly prices are
more reasonable.

The Chicago Daily Trihune has been
promoting a beauty contest to be held in
the Coliseum Feb. 28 to March 6, and to
be known as The Beauty Mart, in which
over $20,000 is to be divided as prizes
among 60 of the prettiest girls in various
sections of Chicago and the five surround-
ing States. The Fleischman Floral Co.
has offered, in the Sunday Tribwie, to
present free to each of the 60 winners in
the contest a wonderful bouquet of Chi-
cago's choicest flowers..

John A. Ebbers will leave this week for
Tokio, Japan, where he maintains head-
quarters, to purchase for the American
trade novelties in baskets, ribbons, plant
foliage for decorative and preservative
purposes as well as many lines of manu-
factured articles for use in connection with
the florists' trade.

Allie Zech, of Zech & Mann, who haa
recently returned from a trip to New
Orleans, witnessed the funeral of a Fren{i
officer who died aboard of a warship in
the harbor that is sent annually by the
French Government to take part in the
celebration of the mardigras festival.
A notable feature of the funeral was the
large number of floral pieces, and the way
they were handled. Following the re-
mains, were a large number of the sailors,
each one carrying a floral piece of one
kind or another. Large wreaths and
other pieces took two or more to carry.

In the movies, we see funerals of promi-
nent people in England, Ireland and
France, where this same custom is car*
ried out of the mourners following in pro-
cession carrying all the floral offerings.
It is not a bad custom, as it gives the
flowers all the prominence they deserve.
I It is a far better custom than we have in
America, of piling them one on top of
the other into autos and other convey-
ances and get them to the final resting
place the most convenient way, regardJeas
of rough handling and material damage
to the pieces. We have learned much
from the old country in our industry and
such a custom here, if it could be brought
into general observance, could be a big
improvement over the present system of
handling funeral flowers.

Tbe Market

March 1. — Conditions in the whole-
sale markets are about the same as they
were a week ago. The weather has been
rather mild and, consequently, the arrivals
of flowers are continuing heavy. Prices
in general, have come down more or less
on all kinds of stock as against last week.
The out of town shipping trade is brisk
and takes care of an immense amount of
stock. The fact that the shipping houses
manage to dispose of the surplus from day
to day, keeps the market from collapsing
at this time. As it is, the flowers find an
outlet at some price and little stock is
carried over from day to day. Buyers
from factory cities and towns, up to 60
miles distant, are to be found in the mar-

"JAY EM" Says:

The Great Chicago Wholesale Cut Flower Mar-
ket is supplying in over night service the following
cities and points between, in opposite directions,
covering a radius of nearly one thousand miles.
From Memphis, Tenn., to St. Paul, Minn. From
Cleveland, O., to Ohama. Neb. From Kansas
City, Mo., to Toronto. Canada. From Nashville.
Tenn., to Sioux City, Iowa. Shipments are freely
made to points ia New York State and Washington
on the Pacific coast. One wholesale house puts it
from Sunrise to Sunset. It keeps 23 wholesale
houses busy in disposing of the cut flowers that are
received daily. The stock comes in daily from over
200 greenhouse establishments. In the Summer
time when outdoor stock is being cut, this number
of consignors is increased considerably. From
nearlay growers evening shipments are received
the follow-ing morning. From those in the imme-
diate vicinity of Chicago morning shipments are
received by noon or early afternoon. Many of
the large growers who send their stock by auto
trucks make at least two trips daily. Stock is
coming in all hours of the day through the side
and back doors and going out the front. A score
or more of retailers' autos can be counted any
morning in the vicinity of the wholesale cut flower
market. Then there are, besides, scores of smaller
buyers who carry their purchases, using the street
cars or elevated railways. This ia mostly morning
trade. The shipping goes on uninterruptedly,
much stock going out on the early afternoon trains
for nearby points, that will get the stock to desti-
nation the same night. This is a large portion of
the day's business.

It is not surprising that each year there are more
cut flower buyers purchasing stock from this mar-
ket. Many of them buy all their stock from this
center, and have shipments every day or every
other day. Such service can easily be arranged
with any of the Wholesale Houses represented on
this page.

We always said we had them, now let
us see — are we right?

At the Carnation Convention "SIM'S"
CARNATIONS took 6 Firsts and 3

Seconds with 9 entries. (Not so worse, what?)

All our CARNATIONS come from Wm. Sim of Clffton-
dale. He has only about 130,000 plants. We sell his whole
output.

This about tells the Carnation story but, we have good
ORCHIDS too — the best of all varieties. Frank Dolansky,
of Lynn, has over 70,000 plants and we sell every flower that
is cut from them.

Our ROSES have always given great satisfaction.
LILIES, VIOLETS, MIGNONETTE, FREESIAS, NAR-
CISSUS, TULIPS, and all other sorts of flowers ready to
ship at all times, in any variety and in an quantity. Also
all sorts of Greens and Florists' Supplies.

Our reputation for reliability and prompt ship-
ments is O. E.

Only seven weeks to Easter. We are ready to make
contracts now.

ket every day picking up bargains, and
incidentally, relieving the pressure.

Roses are selling out clean every day
at about the same figures as last week, the
supply, in nearly all varieties and grades
being just about up to the demand. For
White Killarney, the demand is almost nil,
making this sort hard to move.

Carnations are arriving in large lots
and manage to get sold out fairly clean
every day. The greatest bulk of these
flowers is shipped out of to-^vn. The qual-
ity is good all through; 4c. being con-
sidered a good price for ordinary sorts,
but many sales are made below this figure
although Sc. is probably the lowest price
taken so far. Some fancy flowers have
registered 5c. or even 6c., but these are
few and far between. It is a 4c. market.

Callas are in fair supply, selling mod-
erately fast at $1.50 to $2 i)er doz. Easter
Lilies also sell slow, bringing 16c. Free-
sias are much too plentiful, everybody
seems to bring in Freesias. One and a
half to two and a half cents is the best
Freesias will bring now.

Bulbous stock of all sorts is becoming
a nuisance ; Paperwhites and Golden
Spurs are to be seen in almost every stall.

Paperwhites are hard to move at almost
any price. Yellow Narcissus sell fairly
well, common sorts go cheap, while Vic-
torias, Giants and King Alfred bring as
much as 4c. to 6c. Golden Spur go at
3c. and 4c. The stock offered is really
very good.

Sweet Peas are arriving in unwieldy
quantities. They are for the most part
of excellent quality, fine sorts with plenty
of stem and they are cleaned up at some
price from day to day. Large numbers
go out of town, and some go to sellers on

the street. The price, of course, is not
quotable for some of the transactions.
From 25c. to $2.50 per 100 about indicates
the extremes.

Violets too, have had a setback; with
the exception of the very choicest, which
bring up to ?1 per 100, the ruling price
is from 40c. to 75c. per 100, and the de-
mand is not what it might or should be.
Pansies are becoming plentiful and of
superior quality, they sell freely.

Other items in the market are English
Daisies, Agathea Eerulea, Wallflowers,
Myosotis, Calendulas, Mignonette and
Buttons. All of these flowers are in suf-
ficient supply and sell more or less free
as always.

There are a number of different orchids
offered. The demand is not sufficient to
give the present low prices a boost.

Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri
meets the usual demand at the normal
prices.

Various Notes

The well known Woburn Rose Con-
servatories, Natick, for many years while
under the able management of Alexander
Montgomery, with a National reputation
and from which emanated such noted
Roses as White Killarney, Mrs. Russell,
Mrs. Moorfield Storey and Hadley, passed
into the hands of receivers Feb. 18. It
is sincerely to be hoped that this well
known plant, which has had a somewhat
checkered career of late years, may again
pass into competent management. There
are over 300,000 feet of glass. Of late
I years Roses have been grown almost ex-
I clusively, but very fine Chrysanthemums
j have also come from there, and in the
days when Dailledouze, Bonaffon, Golden
I Wedding, Mrs. Jerome Jones, Chadwick,
Maud Dean and other old times were

comparatively new, the annual 'Mum pil-
grimage to Natick was one of the events
of the season.

Fred E. Palmer and Miss Florence
Palmer of Brookline have just returned
from a fortnight's enjoyment of Winter
sports in the New Hampshire mountains.

The many commendatory reports on
Carnation Morning Glow, one of Edward
Winkler's introductions heard of late,
have created a great demand for this
■bread and butter" variety. William
Sims' only criticism of this is that it pro-
duces too many cuttings, and will there-
fore, become overabundant.

W. N. Craig was one of the leading
speakers at a crowded hearing in favor
of daylight saving at the Boston State
House on Feb. 23. George N. Smith, the
Wellesley Peony and Iris specialist and
prominent in the Pomona and subordinate
granges also endorsed it strongly as did
James B. Shea, Commissioner of Parks,
and a host of others. It looks like a win
for daylight saving again, so far as this
State is concerned, particularly as a good
many agriculturists are now favoring it,
finding that with a little readjustment it
works out quite satisfactorily.

Out at W. A. Edgar Go's., are 14,000
giganteum Lilies in prime shape for
Easter, also a magnificent lot of Roses.
Herman Bartsch, as usual, has his plants
right on time.

_ A. Leuthy Co., of Roslindale are grow-
mg Lily of the Valley in quantity very
successfully; they also have a splendid lot
of Lilies and Hydrangeas for Easter.

The writer asked one or two growers
of Laddie Carnation what their plants
averaged in the season, number of &>wers
given varied from 8 to 12; personally my
largest number of blooms per plant has
been 13, but even if it produces but half
the flowers of other sorts, its size, color,
splendid stem and grand keeping qualities,
make it worth double any other sort now
in commerce. Rosalia would probably
come next in favor as a fancy variety.

There was a large audience at Horti-
cultural Hall on Feb. 26 to hear Prof.
W. J. V. Osterhout's lecture on "The Or-
ganization of the Plant." The mutual in-
fluence of various parts, the effects of
pruning and grafting, graft hybrids, the
heredity constitution of the plant. Men-
del's laws and problems suggested by them
will be taken up on March 5.

Sztobbe & Karasiewicz have acquired
the greenhouses of George J. Duncan of
Arlington, and will grow a general line of
florist stock.

There is a marked scarcity of small
ferns for dishes among Boston growers
at present; one or two growers who have
specialized in them have taken up other
subjects and here is a good opening for a
wideawake fern specialist.

While nearly all local Violet specialists
swear by Princess of Wales as a single
Violet, Harold A. Regan of Cambridge, a
wideawake grower finds Gov. Herrick, a
much more prolific bloomer. It needs
rather more heat; lacks stem and odor,
but proves grand for design work in which
he specializes. His greenhouses are stra-
tegically located opposite the main en-
trance of Mt. Auburn Cemetery.

The Market

March 1. — The market for last week
was rather quiet. Bulbous stock was
in oversupply. Daffodils suffering the
heaviest. _ Tulips were also hard hit and,
in many instances, sold for less than what
the bulbs cost.

The sale on Freesia was very limited.
Roses remain in moderate supply close
to list figures. Carnations are plentiful
and cheap. Sweet peas are somewhat in
oversupply. There are too many orchids
for the present demand, and the top level
is 50c. There is more Snapdragon and it
is selling at reduced figures. There are
more Easter Lilies than a week ago and
they are slow. Callas are plentiful and
comparatively cheap. Violets find an out-
let in the hands of the street men. Valley
and Gardenias are in moderate supply.
There is a liberal supply of Lilac.

Odd Notea

With Easter but a few weeks off,
it was of special interest to visit the big

Slant factory of the Robert Craig Co., at
Torwood, to see what they had in line of
Easter specialties. The impression is that
their pot Roses this year surpass all their
pre^nous efforts. They have one of the

finest lot of Roses we have ever seen;
trained specimens are beautifully fini
and in the forms of airplanes, umbrf
globes, fans, and bird cages. The vari«
are Tausendschoen, Lady Gay, Exc
the new Paul's Scarlet Climber, OpI
and Dunlop. The 20,000 Easter Lilies
fine, heavily budded at the right a
with foliage clean to the pot. Tlie Fr
Hydrangeas are splendid symmetrical plj

Sunday. Among the other Easter pli
are Genistas, Primulas, Cinerarias, ■
denias and Heather. Their regular

have a wonderfully fine collection

ly, Robert A. Craig said it was the lai

in America.

We regret having to rejiort the d
of Joseph B. Muldoon, son-in-law of J
J. Michell. He was with the Henr:

really more of a miniature flower show
than a meeting. The exhibits were ex-

Peas; over 60 varieties and Robert Craig
Co., had a splendid exhibit of their many
Easter specialties in the plant line.

This Week's Money Making Wrinkles

FRITZ BAHR'

With the approach of Spring the
demand for small stock increases from
day to day. The surplus of one grower
is just what the other is short of. Al-
most every grower has something he is
long on, and is short of other items.
At present rooted cuttings of Carna-
tions and Chrysanthemums have per-
haps the greatest call, next comes the
bedding stock. Rooted cuttings of
Geraniums, Fuchias, Salvias, Petunias,
Lantanas, Ageratura, Coleus Feverfew,

S WRINKLES

Alyssum, Cupheas, double Lobelia,
Heliotrope and other lines are wanted
by many. The same with Gladioli,
Cannas, Dahlias, Tuberoses, Cala-
diums and other so-called bulb stock.
All should be purchased now. If you
are short on any of these items, The
Florist's Exchaxge will quickly let
you know where to get them, and if
you have a surplus of anything that is
good and worth while to the other
fellow, an ad in the P. E. will find the
buyer.

as they have been around San Francisco. This
mixture contains all colors and types of Peony,

Bent out in previous years was highly praised by
all who raised Dahlias from it, but this seed is far
superior to what we have sent out in p reviouB years
The seedUngs will commence to flower two months
after sowing and almost a month earlier than plants
raised from bulbs.

Mr. W. L. Ferguson, Smiths Falls. Ontario, un-
der date of Dec. 2d, 1919, writes us the following
in regard to our Petunias:

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you.
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about 8 per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quality each year."

Mr. Rudolf Niigel, Lancaster, Pa,, under date
of Dec. 14, 1919, writes us:

"I had last year just a few of your Petunias,
•^ut I am sure I could have sold thousands of them .
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of mv expectation."

VEGETABLE PLANTS AND SEEDS

THE DIENER TOMATO
Increase your Tomato yield one hundred per cent
by raising the new Diener Tomato; 30-40 tons of
ripe fruit to the acre.

This Tomato was raised last year all over the
United States and Canada with the greatest satis-
faction.

As smooth as an Apple and of a magnificent
dark red color. Single Tomatoes weigh up to 3 lbs.
each. The flesh is more solid than that of any other
Tomato. The fruit contains very little seed and is
solidly filled out. This Tomato is free of the acid
taste and for dehydrating, catsup and canning it
is the best Tomato in existence to-day.

The Diener Tomato is blight-resisting as well as
drought-resisting. It will not crack from the rain
and will not rot while lying on the ground in wet
weather. This Tomato will grow in almost any
kind of soil and it commences to ripen the first part
of August,

It is the greatest novelty in the Tomato line, and
it will soon crowd out the present varieties from the
market by its far superior qualities.

Price of the Diener Tomato Seed: Sample pkg.
25c.; one quarter of an acre, pkg. 50c.. one acre,
pkg. $1.50.

Six^Men

Put Up 400-Foot Roof

In a Day and a Half

When we say, six men did it, we don't mean six men and a half dozen
boys. We mean six men did the whole thing from start to finish. How-
ever, don't think for a minute, that we claim that these six men put up
the entire frame in l'/2 days.

The posts were set, and the eave plate and side sill all in place when
they started putting up the roof frame and both gables. But mind you,
the entire iron frame and all trussing was entirely in place, right down
to the last bolt in 2'/2 days.

In five days, both houses, each about 70x400 ft., were framed up.

All this happened at Premier Gardens, Maywood, Illinois. Mr. Weiss,
the manager of the Company, said he never saw anything like it.

It's quite the usual thing, you know, to show a whole flock of men
standing on every available inch and then make a noise about how the
frame jumped into place, like a Mushroom grows over night.

You know as well as we do that six men could never put up what
these six did, if all parts were not accurately cut and fitted at our factory.
Neither could they do it, if portions of the rafter and truss were not as-
sembled at the factory. But they are. That's the way we do things.
Just as little as possible is left for the men to do on the job.

That's why we get the job done so soon.

When you are ready to talk building to us, we are ready to talk
building to you.

We are going to have our usual attracrive Exhibit at the Flower Show.

As you know a call from you will be most welcome; and that we will

be glad to have you avail yourself of any service we can render.

There was a time when a propagating house
wasn't considered inii>ortant enough to build
iron-frame way. But that was then. Thin is
now. Growers have found out that whatever
they build, should be built the best that can
be built

While the ice clings to one eave, the other on

the new iron frame house is entirely free, which

ia only one of the advantages of having an

up-to-date house

Don't you imagine, for a minute, that all the Mays get out of this house is what they

grow. They get a big bundle of satisfaction. The kind that comes from knowing you

have the best that's built

"The May Boys"

A Propagating House

SOMETIMES we fellows who are here and now,
sort of lose sight of our sturdy, trail blazing parents
who lived in the then and there.

Last Summer, 1 took a pilgrimage with my 83-year-
old Dad to his old home, way back in the hills, far
from any railroad. We went miles up a well-nigh im-
possible road, which my Grandad cut through the
forest, when the war of 1812 was being fought. We
located the old family burying ground where, after cut-
ting away the wild roses, we found lichen-covered
stones, marking the graves of those sturdy pioneers.

That night we made camp down by the brook, and
as we sat in the tent door looking out at the stars, our
admiration for those sturdy characters who had
wrested their living from that wild country, became
profound. A new appreciation grew within us, for
those who had pioneered.

Yesterday, Mr. Sef ton and 1 called on the May boys
in Madison, N. J., to see the new iron frame propagat-
ing house we recently completed for them.

As one of the boys spoke of the decisiveness of his
father and his untiring energy, John May seemed
with us, in his sons. John May, that vigorous
character who was one of New Jersey's pioneers in
Rose growing. John May, whose advice has meant so
much, and whose example so many followed.

Today, the boys are working out their plans far
in advance, as did their father. The new propagating
house is but the seed germ of what is to follow.

With the present quality and price of coal, a cen-
tralized heating plant is one of the things they are
mulling over, which is an undertaking requiring the
true May characteristics.

And so the work of John May, the pioneer, who is
still hale and hearty, is being carried on by his sons.

'W'e feel confident m offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to out customers that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
.3 a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
Fraserii' attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about S to 10
n. high and was covered the entire Summer with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2J-3 in. across, while the individual flower would be % of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

The Value of Scientific Training in Floriculture from the
= Student's Viewpoint =

Address oJJ. D. Smith, University of Illinois, Before the Meeting oj the Illtnois Siate Florists
Association, Urbana, Illinois, MarchlS, i92i

THKKIJ lias been expressed lately a great variety
of opinions on the subject of tlie value of a scien-
tific training in floriculture, but these have all
been those of practical florists and teachers of floriculture
in various colleges and universities. I desire to present
:thc floricultural student's point of view.
{ First, allow ine to e-xplain that "Scientific Training"
] in this connection signifies a college education with a
I sufficient mastering of a subject to warrant the granting
i of a degree from the college or university.
I A student usually decides what business or profes-
! sion he wishes to make his lifework before he completes
I his high school education. Some students even reach
the high school age with the question already settled.
I Next comes the thought of how to obtain this desired
I end by the most efficient method. We floricultural
students have selected the florist's profession. Some of
us come from our fathers' greenhouses, some from farm
I lands, and some from business circles of large cities.
We have all come to college for the purpose of learn-
ing, in the shortest length of time, as much as possible
of the scientific and practical sides of floriculture and
its related sciences. In college this shortest length of
time is four years.

We believe that by taking the four-year college course
in floriculture, we accomplish two things: First, we
gain the same results as those of the apprentice sys-
tem in a shorter time ; second, we become better equipped
as men and women for citizenship and for community
activities than we could by the apprentice system. You
ask how we think this end is effected. To answer I
must briefly outline the average four-year college course
in floriculture as offered at our colleges and universities.

What a College Course Offers

The first two years are spent in getting a ground-
i work or foundation for the studies of the next

years, when the real specialization in floriculture comes.

Botany is one of the fundamental or ground courses.
; In botany we study the structures and functions of plant

parts with a view to ascertaining facts and applying
. them in reasoning and in experimental work. Under
t the head of botany comes plant diseases, in which at-
! tention is directed to casual agents, such as fungi, bac-
I teria and such; to symptoms; to diagnoses, and to the
i treatment of these diseases. The floricultural student

may elect to study the diseases found in the greenhouse,

if he so desires.
Chemistry is another fundamental course, designed to
'■ give the student a working basis for a good understand-
i ing of the important soil actions which often mean dol-

lars and cents saved or lost to the florist. Another pos-
sible cause of loss is insect troubles in the greenhouses.
The student studies the life history of these insects as
often the method of control lies in the determination
of the weakest point in the life cycle and the attack-
ing of the insect at that weak spot. A floricultural
student may select special courses in entomology which
deal with the insect pests of the greenhouse.

The landscape gardening end of floriculture is not for-
gotten. Instruction is given in the identification of trees,
shrubs, vines and flowers, with special emphasis upon
their various uses, including the designing of plantings
for homes and other buildings. Instruction as well as
practical work is given in the various methods of plant
propagation and the student is made familiar with the
construction, cost, maintenance, heating and ventilation
of greenhouses.

In all the above courses the student is taught facts
and their application, but the college education does not
stop there, for the student must also know how to express
what he learns. He must know how to spea,k or talk.
To this end rhetoric and English are made requirements
for graduation and public speaking may be added by the
student as an elective. While at college the boy or girl
is still developing physically as well as mentally. Gym-
nasium work and military drill are, therefore, required
to keep the body in trim.

During the last two years of the college course
the floricultural student spends most of his time at the
greenhouses until he begins to feel that he really lives
there. He works with the major and minor commercial
crops, carrying them through from blooming season to
blooming season. He learns the best methods of culti-
vating these crops as well as tender bedding plants
which are started under glass, and as warm weather
comes uses plants in designing and planting the outdoor
beds. Courses are given in soils, fertilizers, plant foods
and the water requirements of greenhouse crops and
their relation to temperature, light, humidity, and the
carbon-dioxide content of the air.

Vegetable gardening is not overlooked and floral
decoration is taught. Plants for conservatory decora-
tion are studied, cut flowers and decorative plants are
handled and much laboratory work is given in the ar-
rangement of flowers in baskets, designs, bouquets and
table and home decoration. Great emphasis is placed on
this phase of floriculture because of its importance and
because so few florists know how to use flowers to the
best advantage. Instruction is given in economics, ac-
counting and bookkeeping or the student may also study
business writing and thus fit himself to take care of the

clerical part of his business. For broadening the student,
such courses as philosophy, psychology, sociology and
foreign languages are offered.

College Associations and Their Work

During the four years of college training the student
is in close contact with hundreds and often thousands of
students of his own age, and is influenced more or less
by them. The extent or degree of this influence de-
pends greatly upon the home training the student re-
ceived before entering upon his college career. He is
also in close touch with the instructional stafl of the
college or university, thereby coming to know some of
the prominent thinkers and better informed men of the
day. The association with the instructors and fellow-
students does much to stabilize his character. Through
these associations the floriculture student becomes in-
terested in the work of other college departments as
those of engineering, animal husbandry, music, etc. The
advanced experimental and research work of his own
department and also of other departments interest him.
He realizes that only the best methods now known are
taught at college and that in the greenhouse only the
best conditions for plant growth are provided. Yet,
these may not be the methods and conditions found in
commercial establishments.

Since 1913 25 sutdents have graduated from the Uni-
versity of Illinois after having studied floriculture. To-
day 21 of these graduates are in some kind of floricultural
work and are making good. They realize that they do
not know all there is to know about floriculture, but they
have the training to analyze their difficulties and devise
remedies.

What the Apprentice Learns

What has the apprentice done during the four years
the graduate has spent in college? He has, perhaps,
worked in two or three different establishments and
thereby learned the methods of growing a limited va-
riety of plants employed by two or three different grow-
ers. He has had practical experience and much of
it. He has come in contact with a few men. Per-
haps he has wanted to study floriculture in the evening
after work, but he has been tired and physically unfit
for study, and literature on floriculture may have been
difficult to obtain and as difficult to understand.

Now, gentlemen, I have endeavored to contrast the
training of the student with the training of the appren-
tice. When you return home from this convention, I
want you to think about the question I am going to
put to you and I want you to try to grasp the student's
point of view. Take two men, both high school grad-
uates, ambitious and equal in mental and physical pow-
ers. Send one to college for the four-year floricultural
course and start the other at the same time, say this
Fall, as an apprentice. Let both men follow floriculture
for ten years and in 1931, compare the two men. The
comparison shall be based upon; first, their success as a
florist, judged by any standard you may believe true
and fair; second, their value to the community as busi-
ness men and townsmen; and third, their value to the
country as citizens. This is the question I leave with
you. Which of the two men will grade up the higher
on your score card

Holland Nurserymen Misin-
formed, Says F. H. B.

Quarantine Regulations Still in Force — Pur-
chases Without Permit and Plants with Earth
Still Prohibited.

The Exchange is in receipt of a telegram from
Chairman C. L. Marlatt of the Federal Horticultural
Board, Washington, D. C, urging the publication of
the facts as to existing plant quarantine regulations in
contradiction of statements with which, he is informed,
Holland nurserymen are flooding this country. His mes-
5^1?. in abbreviated telegraphic language, is as follows :

_ Board learns Holland nurserymen flooding country
with telegrams indicating that anybody can import or-
namentals in any quantity up to June 1 next and urging
cabling of orders. Should publish advise that importa-
tions are not permitted except in accordance with the
regulations and under special permit for specific repro-
duction purposes as formerly; and that any purchases
made under the belief that freedom of purchase is now
allowed will result in the rejection of the material at
port of entry and a loss to the purchaser. Furthermore
importations under existing special permits from Hol-
land, are coming in with much earth on the roots neces-
sitatmg rejection of such shipments. Urge purchasers
irom aolland to condition payment on delivery in
compliance with regulations to safeguard against loss."
(.bigned) C. L. Marlatt, Chairman F. H. B.
* * * » *

It IS unfortunate that any such misconception of the

Board's recent announcement has arisen in Holland and
been made the basis for a campaign for business which,
if successful, is likely to result in much financial loss
to American buyers and probable hard feeling between
the two countries. It is difficult to explain any such
misunderstanding, unless a wrong version of the Board's
stated policy has been intentionally, or through ignorance,
circulated among the Dutch growers and exporters.

Certainly, as pointed out in The Exchange, the
F. H. B. concessions have to do merely with the con-
sideration of applications for special permits and in no
respect indicate the lifting of the barriers against any
hitherto excluded material as far as commercial needs
are concerned. Applications for permits must still re-
late only to stock for reproduction purposes (or to
acknowledged novelties) and, in the former case, must
be accompanied by sufficient proof that the stock is
practically unavailable in this country.

Apparently the Dutch nurserymen have overlooked
_ these facts, and it is possible that certain American buy-
ers being urged to purchase at once may do so without
taking the trouble to look into the situation and verify
the statements of the foreigners. Ignorance is no ex-
cuse, however, here as in other cases, so we urgently
endorse Dr. Marlatt's suggestion that American dealers
(a) secure permits before ordering prohibited stock,
or (b) condition their orders for such materials with
the understanding that the contract shall be binding only
if the plants are permitted entry. This puts the responsi-
bility on the foreigner who, if he makes definite state-
ments as to the acceptability of his plants, should be pre-
pared and willing to back them up. To sum up the sit-
uation. Quarantine 37, with its two initial amendments
stands unchanged.

With the well known exceptions of (1) plant products
for food purposes; (2) field, vegetable and flower seeds;

(3) Lily, Lily of the Valley, Narcissus, Hyacinth, Tulip
and Crocus bulbs, fruit stocks and scions. Rose stocks,
nuts and seeds of fruit and ornamental trees and plants,
all plant products are prohibited except that limited
quantities of excluded stocks may be obtained on special
permit as novelties, or for propogation purposes provided
adequate supplies are not available in the United States.
^ Until June 1, considerable leniency will be shown
in the consideration of applications for permits. After
that the lines will be drawn tighter. There are the facts ■
importers should keep them in mind. '

Dope for the Sow Bug

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

I notice an inquiry from H. E. E. of Pa., on how to
get rid of sow bugs. While we are all more or less
troubled with these pests, I believe it is from neglect
mostly that they at times get the upper hand. The
method I used to get rid of these bugs about a month
ago is simple and practically a sure cure.

Take two or three spoonfuls of Paris green to a half
pound of sugar and mix thoroughly. Run this mixture
from a spoon along the edge of the beds or benches.
If inconvenient to do this, the mixture may be put on
thin strips of wood laid down on edge of the b«ich.
Care should of course be taken not to get the mixture
wet or the sugar will all dissolve. I had a very bad
dose of these bugs, but found that one application of
the Paris green and sugar did the work. After the mix-
ture has been on tap for a day or so, one may see dead
sow bugs lying all over the beds. The best time of
course to apply the mixture, is late in the afternoon or
in the evemng. This is the best remedy I know of and
gladly recommend it to the trade I

Burpee's Primulinus Hybrid
GLADIOLI

The most graceful in form, artistic in color, and profuse in
bloom of all Gladioli. They have made a sensation wherever they
have been exhibited and will be in tremendous demand for cut
flowers. Although the individual flowers are not large, they carry
an air of grace altogether different from the more or less stiff effect
of all other Gladioli. Furthermore, these hybrids produce three or
sometimes four fully developed flower spikes from a single bulb
planted in the spring. In color they range through the usual Glad-
ioli shades, with the addition of rich golden yellow and orange.

Lily Raising as an Industry

■ le following interesting communication from Dr.
David Griffiths is a valuable addition to the infor-
mation we have already published:

Your comments in The Florists' Exchange, page 484,
■b. 26, are interesting and to the point. The phase of
■; Lily work on which you touch is well put. It is the
ase which has been emphasized most in recent years,
,d the one to which the plants sent you apply.
I am now of the opinion, however, that still more is

be gained from vegetative production from seedling
)cks on an entirely out of door basis, at least, after
■; initial production. Our recent statements that Lilium
igiflorum is hardy have, as you intimate, been inter-
cted as somewhat heterodoxical, but they should not

so considered. That the Lily is hardy should be ac-
pted without question on a priori grounds. It is a
;tivc of eastern Asia, a region quite comparable with
Is Atlantic Coastal Plain. Some of our imported stocks
:e now produced in. Japan where snow obtains the
eater part of the Winter, we are informed. The at-
npted culture of the Lily in this region is, therefore,
riectly logical. The mistake, if mistake it was, was to
.empt to take the commercial culture to the tropics,
icre the plant is more likely to succumb to diseases,
:dcr the impression that it is tender. It is not at all
[possible that the near future will show that we in
ashington, are still in too mild a climate for its best
Iture. It is possible that the climate of Philadelphia
ly prove to be even better adapted than this one. It

very pertinent to call attention to the fact that the
iy has been flowered out of doors at both Toronto and
inneapolis with, of course, a heav>^ mulch. I was in-
rmed a short time ago by a Swiss nurseryman that
is Lily was one of the commonest of garden decora-
ms in his home region in Switzerland where snow
ually remains on the ground all Winter.
However, since we have succeeded in carrying stocks
■rough the past six Winters without apparent injury,
is should be ample proof of a reasonable adapabtiliy to
;is region. I have a feeling, however, that a more cer-
;in and continuous cold than we have here would be
!en better suited to this Lily. At the present time
vlarch 1) our out of door plantings are just starting

poke their noses through the soil. This is too early
k safety, but we have no particular anxiety regarding
em for our past experience shows that the Lily is
tnarkably hardy even in vegetative condition. If the
■nperatures go very low before Spring the leaves will

frozen no doubt, but it will take a temperature of

deg. F. to do any great injury to these stocks while
' a rosette stage before a stem has been formed, but
lien a few inches to a foot of stem is above ground
'; deg. would probably be fatal.

It is pretty well understood among florists that we
iw sow seed Jan. 1, transfer the seedlings to the field
^': of 2in. pots May 1, and repot from the field for Win-
'■ forcing in October. This, however, is but one good
" y to handle these stocks.

The grower who, instead of forcing these seedlings
■,o flower during the Winter, wishes to get up stocks to

■ handled vegetatively, i.e, wishes to grow bulbs under
': of door conditions, has his choice of at least two
ithods of procedure. He can mulch (about Nov. 1,
ithe climate of Washington, D. C.,) heavily with some
arse litter such as marsh hay or cornstalks, which
jto be gradually removed in the Spring. The plants

will lose their tops, but this docs not seem to matter.
The other method is to dig all the seedlings Nov. 1, cut
the tups oft', and the roots might as well be cut oti
loo. The stocks may then be reset immediately 4in. to the
top of the bulb and mulched lightly with strawy or
line decomposed manure, which is to be left on the
beds.

One of these two handlings seems to be necessary with
the seedlings the hrst year because of two reasons. In
the first place they are in full vegetative vigor when
Winter comes on, and in the second place they are set
.shallow, being out of 2in. pots in May. It is absolutely
necessary to either mulch heavily or to dig and reset
such seedlings about Nov. 1.

.\fter the first J'car, the stocks are dug, the mer-
chantable bulbs disposed of, and the planting stock put
back for next year's crop.

I am of the opinion that the vegetative production of
bulbs from these seedling stocks is to be the big game.
It is the exceptional florist that will grow seedlings
each year, but some of them are going at it now and
others, who are nurserymen rather than florists, are
going at the job from the bulb production end. We are
having excellent results here in bulb production, and
good reports are coming in from the Middlewest and
the extreme West, all you will note, in middle latitudes.
The adaptability of these seedlings to the conditions
along the Potomac is well proven by the photograph
which I am enclosing of a portion of our 1920 crop
on Arlington Farm, Va. David Griffiths.

Horticulturist, Dept. of Agriculture, Bureau of
Plant Industry, Washington, D. C.

— We are inclined to believe that the Swiss gardens
referred to are devoted to the Madonna or candidum
Lily rather than the longiflorum type. The candidum
Lily flourishes throughout Europe and, as it is resentful
of deep planting, it follows that it is of unusual hardi-
ness. The longiflorum Lily, being a stem rooter, demands
deeper planting, but we question whether many of this
type are planted in the open ground for garden decora-
tion. In England, where garden planting of Lilies is
extensively done, we have never seen an established plant-
ing of the longiflorum Lily, although the auratum and
speciosum types flourish, especially when given a chance
to recover from the rough treatment they receive prior
to shipment from Japan. The imported longiflorum, in
its several forms, flowers well in the open ground the
first season, but so far as our experience goes, nothing
but a mass of bulblets remains and these left in po-
sition, make poor development.

We are interested in Dr. Grifiitfe's remarks regarding
the lifting and replanting of seedling Lilies, if it is
intended to Winter them in the open without heavy
mulching. We have hitherto been under the impression
that the main reason why stem rooting Lilies are in-
variably exhausted after flowering is that the bulbs are
largely deprived of their basal roots before shipment
from abroad. It would appear, however, that seed-
ling bulbs do not suffer from such treatment. While
Dr. Griffiths does not specifically say so, we assume
that seedlings carried over in the open and also bulbs
raised vegetatively from bulblets, are not allowed to
develop flowers in the field if the bulbs are required for
sale or future forcing. — Ed.

Easter Lily seedlings in blossom on Arlington Farm, Va., July 7, 1920. These stocks have been vegetatively propagated

from seedlings and have been grown outside continuously. The seedlings were produced originally as outlined by

Dr. Griifiths in our issue of March 20, 1920.

1 The Bulb Mite

lyrom the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Sta-
Vn, New Haven, comes an important bulletin on the
pve subject. Considering the difficulties that have
ts season, occurred with bulbs, this bulletin is oppor-
ilie for it is not improbable that the pest above men-
l.^ned is, to some extent, responsible for losses, par-
tularly among Daffodils.

\Ve have ourselves observed among a few pots of
l.ffodils planted last November, that at least 10 per
tit of the bulbs axe diseased ; this is plainly evident by
t; distorted foliage and putrid condition of some of
t: bulbs themselves. The latter clearly showed pres-
!:e of the mite even without the aid of a glass, but
\ were under the impression that the mites were a
s:ondary factor, following damage done by eelworm.
investigations in England during the last three or
*ar years and also in Holland, have led scientists to
tieve that the major portion of the losses among
J.ffodils was due to eelworm, Tylenchus devastatrix.
^e tremendous losses of valuable bulbs by some of the
..flodil breeders led the R. H. S. to place its labora-
•■les at the disposal of J. K. Ramsbottom who finally
Olved a systeni of control by means of the hot water
Hh.

Philip Garman, who has been investigating bulb trou-
hs at the Connecticut Experiment Station, has not
iparently found eelworm to any extent, and he is con-
Meed that the mite Rhizoglyphus hvacinthi Banks, is
iinost entirely responsible for rot atnong Daffodil and

Lily bulbs. The mite is capable of attacking all kinds
of bulbs and tubers, but it works more freely among
scaly bulbs, and is not averse to the Onion.

Mite infested bulbs come mostly from France, Bel-
gium, Holland and Japan, and it is interesting to note
that breeding and development of the mite through the
several moults goes on most freely in a tempera-
ture of 60 deg. to 75 deg F. At 50 deg. the mites are
torpid and also when the temperature rises near 100 deg.
This fact tends to confirm the impression that bulbs
should be kept cold during the shipping period.

The mite passes through several cycles between the
egg and the adult stage, moulting three times during
the period of about a month. In the third or hypopus
stage, they are most dangerous, owing to their greater
resistance to treatment and their mobility. They readily
pass from damaged bulbs to healthy ones and, when
conditions are favorable, they rapidly break down the
tissue of the scales and so completely destroy or at
least prevent the bulb from developing its growth the
following season. Judging by the illustrations and
details given by Mr. Garman, the work of the mite is
identical to what we have credited to the eelworm
which, to those who have studied the subject in even
a modest way, is quite apart from the damage caused
by the larvae of the Daffodil flies. The latter are not
nearly so difficult to detect.

It would seem, however, that the treatment of sus-
pected bulbs as recommended for eelworm is applicable
to the mite. Water heated to 131 Fahr. will destroy

great numbers of the mite if the bulbs are immersed
for ten minutes, but nicotine sulphate 1 in 400 heated
to 122 deg. is even more successful.

Mr. Garman urges careful selection of bulbs when
planting, discarding all soft and rotten bulbs and stor-
age after lifting, at 33 deg. to 35 deg. to prevent multi-
plication of mites that may exist in the bulbs. It should
be mentioned that no bulb lacking hardness should be
planted without treatment. The presence of the mero-
deon fly larvEe in Daffodil bulbs is usually indicated by
softness around the neck and this fact enabled us when
planting our garden plot, to discover three infested
bulbs in as many hundred. But, it should be noted,
not even the thumb and fingers brought to light the
presence of the mite now apparent in several instances
and, under the circumstances one is inclined to the
belief that all Daffodils at least, should be subjected to
the hot water treatment.

Assuming heat in storage has the effect of retarding
growth, however, what may be the effect of the violent
hot water treatment? So far as we are aware, all the
tons of Daffodils being treated by the British growers
are planted in the fields and are not forced. Certain it
is that no form of fumigation or steeping in cold
fluids will kill mite or eelworm in bulbs ; hot liquid
alone is effective, the Dutch, British and American in-
vestigators agree on this point. It may be mentioned
that there are one or two enemies of the bulb mite, but
the amount of assistance, they may render is negligible.

All who are interested in bulbs should give the bulle-
tin under notice, the closest attention.

Notes from Abroad

Brilliant weather now prevails over
the greater part of Europe, the storm
centers having migrated, according to cer-
tain meteorological authorities, to the
Western Pacific, and we haven't the least
objection if they make a prolonged stay
there.

Some of the leading Italian seed-
growers are now traversing Europe on
contract business intent, and report that
there will not be a great deal of 1920
Onion seed to dispose of, although seed
which can boast of a greater or lesser
seniority, is stiil available in considerable
quantities. Generally speaking, the
weather conditions in the Southern grow-
ing districts have been and are still favor-
able, but as much cannot be said of the
economic outlook; strikes being prevalent
and much cultural neglect the conse-
quences Cauliflower plantations are look-
ing well, and the quality, which had gone
back during the war is now said to be
much improved.

In France, business is reported as being
rather slack, with no venturesome spirits
about to liven up tbe market. However,
contracts have been very extensively |
placed for most of the leading articles, i
Lettuces, Endives, Cucimibers, Vegetables !
Harrows and flower seeds generally, are be-
ing well cared for tbis year. Plantations |
of Cabbage are somewhat less than last .
season; the same appears to be the case
with Onions, as the bulbs are fetching |
good prices and the growers consider that i
a bird in tbe hand is wortb two in the 1
bush. '

Sugar Beet is in faily good demand
from various quarters. A good deal of
1919 seed is still on hand, but contracts
for next season are being made at fairly [
liigh prices. Central Europe seems in- i
clined to purchase; also garden Beets and
Carrots, among other articles.

The army of Government inspectors is
now apparently about to undertake an
offensive against the large number of ad-
ventitious sellers of seeds; greengrocers,
chemists, ironmongers, etc., who assist
the qualified seedsman to supply tbe pub-
lic need. These are mostly exposed for
sale in small packets with glaring colored
illustrations to catch the untutored eye,
but the contents thereof, are not always
of first rate quality nor guaranteed ger-
mination.

If the new authority can do something
to curb the enterprise of these outsiders
without harassing the already overbur-
dened, legitimate trade with further re-
strictions, it may prove itself after all
a blessing in disguise.

Transatlantic SsEDSirAN.
i Feb. 22, 1921.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co., 52-54
Vesey st., will open its auction season by
holding sales at noon on March 22, 23, 24
and 25, when there will be offered a full
Hue of flowering and foliage plants for
Easter use.

At Vaughan's Seed Store the window
display this week is quite notable. It is
made up chiefly of Summer flowering
bulbs, namely, Tuberoses, Caladiums, Glad-
ioli, and hardy Lilies.

Among the callers in town this week
were Fred A. Tapperson, representing the
Everett B. Clark Seed Co., Milford, Conn.,
and Arnold Kirkeby, representing M.
Kirkeby & Co., Chicago, 111.

New York Seed House Fails

The field seed trade of New York and
of the whole country was considerably
disturbed by the announcement in the
Journal of Commerce of Feb. 24, that a
petition in bankruptcy had been applied
for against the H. W. Doughten Co., of
59 Pearl st. Liabilities were given as
more than $700,000 and visible assets at
approximately ?5000: the petition was
made by the Agros Corporation, also of
New York City, a creditor to the extent
of some S7000.

As a prominent figure in the extensive
seed transactions of the years immediate-
ly following the war, the Doughten Co.
did a large volume of import and export
business; its failure is another of the re-
grettable but almost inevitable conse-
quences of boom times and a lack of pre-
paredness for the deflation period that
was sure to follow, but that by many was
not looked for so soon.

New York Seed Trade

This week, for the first time this sea-
son, counter trade in the seed stores is
really becoming active, though as yet
there is nothing like a waiting line of cus-
tomers. The window and salesroom dis-
, plays too are notably of garden and field
I seeds. Summer flowering bulbs and roots,
' and horticultural sundries, and these dis-
plays serve to remind passersby to stop
in and buy or to leave orders. Thus they
stimulate trade. Many of these window
displays are right up to date in compre-
hensiveness and in attractiveness of ar-
rangement, and compare quite favorably
with the window displays of merchants in
other lines of business.

The progressive firm of Wm. M. Hunt
& Co. has mailed to their customers and
friends upwards of 1000 tickets of ad-
mission to the great International Flower
Show, which is to be held March 14 to
20 in the Grand Central Palace in this
city. It would appear that this shows
both the proper spirit toward the Flower
Show and also business acumen.

Boston Seed Trade

The season has started in early and
remarkably strong in all the seed stores
of Boston. The demand for vegetable and
flower seeds is already way above normal,
and the office and warehouse staffs have
been greatly enlarged. Inquiries for the
bulbs, roots and plants are also coming in
apace. Potatoes have a good call, better
than last year when five and six dollars
per bushel looked pretty big to a number
of intending planters.

At Farquhar's store, there is a fine dis-
play of greenhouse plants from the firms
greenhouses at Dedham. The landscape
department, which is one of the firm's
large features, is kept busy with new
plans for private estates, which are to be
developed this Spring.

Thomas Grey Co., in their well appoint-
ed store, have been as busy as can be for
quite a while back. The store force has
been much enlarged but, in spite of this,
night and Sunday work often is the rule
rather than the exception.

Fottler, Fiske & Eawson's three show
windows are receiving unusual attention
these days. Not a minute pf the day
passes without a crowd inspecting the com-
plete collection of noxious and injurious
insects, fungi, etc. on exhibition in the
windows. These pests and samples of
their work are shown, together with the
different phases of their life cycle, in
glass cases and, from the remarks made
by the observers it can be assmned that
many of the pests are here recognized for
the first time. Just to mention a few
of the pests on exhibition: Pear leaf
blister mite, Oakloaf blotch miner. Spruce
gall aphis. Poplar borer, codling and
gypsy moths. Ash bark borer. Birch bark
borer, tent caterpillar, bitter rot on plum,
fire blight on pear, all sorts of scales,
scabs and cankers. Of course, all the
appropriate remedies for each pest or
malady are also displayed, together with
all the appliances needed for putting on
the poisons, etc.

A fine display of books on pruning,
planting, and spraying completes the
show.

SEED TRADE

{Continued from page 585)

Chicago Seed Trade

'"Do Your Garden Shopping Early" is
the slogan of the daily advertising of
Vaughan's Seed Store in the local press.
Fourteen plans for planting home grounds
by C. L. Burkholder of the Purdue Uni-
versity, are published in the home edition
of Vaughan's Gardening Illustrated for
1921. Fifty colored plates are also in-
cluded in the handbookj which is free for
the asking. There is a widespread de-
mand for this publication.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co., is
at present on the Pacific Coast making
arrangements for a still more extensive
business in that section for the coming
season. I. Rosnosky has returned from a
trip through the Eastern states with a
well filled order book. The movement of
Cannae and Gladioli bulbs continues sat-
isfactory, several varieties in both being
already sold out.

Announcement of the death of John
Lewis Childs of Floral Park, Long Island,
on a train from Albany to New York City
on March 5, was noted in the Chicago
Sunday papers with much regret by the
trade at large. The deceased was on his
way home from this city, where he spent
a few days in the interest of his business.

Florists who cater to the public in the
way of flowering shrubs, perennials, etc.,
should not lose sight of the so-called
Giant Marsh Mallows. This is an im-
proved form of the well known common
Mallow which abounds in the marshes of
New Jersey. A Chicago seed house has
made this one of their leaders for some
years, roots of which can be obtained at
a moderate price. Henderson's Seed Store
illustrates this plant in colors in its 1921
catalog.

Cleveland, 0.

Johnson's Seed Store, on Dec. 1 last,
to6k a 99-year lease on the quarters it is
now occupying at 2158 Bast 9th St., well
do-iTOtown, the building occupying 60£t.x
130ft. The building required considerable
remodeling and as now arranged the front
half is divided into three store rooms,
each 20ft.x65ft. Johnson's Seed Store re-
serving one for itself and renting out the
other two. The large space in the rear,
60ft.i65£t. the firm has reserved for its
own storage.

Michell Co. Enlarges Business
Facilities

It is a good augury for the seed busi-
ness and horticulture generally that a
leading and long established house like the
H. F. Michell Co. of Philadelphia should
find it necessary to largely increase its
store and warehouse space. It is good
news, too, that it his been able to do so,
so successfully as is reported. Four floors
in an adjoining building, totalling 20,700
sq ft. will add tremendously to the store
possibilities; and the four-story brick
warehouse, 75ft.xl50ft. in size, with rail-
road siding and adequate provision for
motor truck service will augment the
storage and shipping facilities in propor-
tion to the growth of the business.

The Michell Co. can well be proud of
these new developments, and has good
reason to extend its invitation to the
trade to visit and inspect its new quarters.
Those who can accept will undoubtedly
find much of interest and inspiration along
sound business lines, awaiting them.

Free Seeds

Notwithstanding the demand for economy in
Governmental expenditures many rural Congress-
men are unwilling to dispense with the free seeds
pull with their constituents. The AgriculturalAp-

gropriation bill was reported without this time-
onored provision attached but before the measure
passed the House an amendment was adopted add-
ing S360.000 for the purchase of seeds to be dis-
tributed free as the members may desire. It may
please some constituents to be remembered by
their representatives in Congress with a package of
seeds, but if there is a desire to get the best results
-from the seeds one plants, the free seeds will be
thrown in the garbage can and seeds that are guar-
anteed to be good will be purchased from a reUable
dealer. This statement is made from experience.
In its inception the free seed distribution may
have had a laudable purpose in introducing new
and valuable plants, but, if so, the original design
has been lost sight of long since. While the sum
appropriated for seeds is small in comparison with
the total of Government appropriations, its chief
benefit will accrue to seed growers who may thus

appropriation will accrue to members of CongreEa
who by this means will advise constituents that
their names are of sufficient importance to be
placed on the member's mailing list. Even were
the seeds of value, though the same varieties can
be procured at many classes of stores, why should
the Government provide free to some what others
not so favored are compelled to buy? If the
distribution of seeds free is commendable they ■
should be made available for everyone and not be '
a political favor. The best that can be said for ■

American Nurseries, Singer Building, Xep;
York City. — With 800 acres of nursery lands, lo- i
cated at Flushing, Searingtown, and Albertson ■
L. I., and Springfield. N. J., this concern is in a
good position to cater to the needs of the home ■
planter. Landscape work of all kinds is a specialty '
with the firm. The catalog before us is well '■
printed and illustrated, and embraces a most com- j
prebensive collection of trees of all kinds, shrubs,
evergreens, vines, hardy herbaceous plants and
fruit. The letterpress is of the best. I

Norton Gardens, Hyattsville, Md. — ^A select \
list of Dahlias embracing all sections, specialls ;
recommended for amateurs. \

East Lawn Nursery, Sacramento, Calif. — ^A
dainty, eight-page booklet devoted to the beat
shade tree. Possibly, in the East, few would de-
clare the Oriental Plane the finest of all shade ■
trees, but for his section perhaps, A. Cruikshanks, i
manager of this concern is entirely correct. Any-
way, a good case for the Plane is made, indeed, ,
the historj' and culture of this Plane is fairly ex-
tensively gone into.

Brainard Nursery and Seed Co., Thomson- ,
ville. Conn. — Spring catalog of seeds, bulbs and
garden stock. Neatly arranged, it contains a liet
of the most approved varieties of vegetables and
flowers, together with a selection of Summer flow-

is extensive, and an excellent selection of treea,!
shrubs, fruits and hardy flowers is offered.

Ross Bros. Co., Worcester, Mass. — Decked in '
brightly colored covers, this seed list of 120 pages
is by no means among the back markers. Freely
illustrated, it is evidence of the firm's interest in
farm seeds. Corn is a great specialty. A full line
of vegetable seeds is nest in importance, with
flower seeds, Summer flowering bulbs, and ma-
chinery of all kinds following in succession. Poultry
and farm supplies are strongly featured.

W. E. Barrett Co., Providence, R. I.— A welV '
printed and illustrated seed list, offering a com-
prehensive collection of vegetable, flower and fielc

machinery are a great specialty, while practicallj

The Propagating Bench

Ket'p it busy — now is the time, fill it
p and keep it full. After Easter is the
!me to replace the Easter stock with bed-
ing plants and right now, almost every-
uing we ^!,yow from cuttings, will root
nd grow faster in the next three months
ban at any other time of the year. Not
oly that, you sell more; the average re-
lil ((rowei- does business every day of
he yeor, but he usually makes money
iiring the Spring months. That is why

keep on talking about the Spring so
\ich. Propagate from cuttings and sow
eed; a lot of it and be foimd ready for
■le Spring rush, which will soon be here
nee more. Billy says, "there ain't no
ard times coming, the soft ones are just
oing, that is all." Press on, make every
ach of such space comit, propagate and
row on a lot of seasonable stock and
hen let everybody know that you have
c. It isn't enough to fill the houses, the
ime is almost here again when we have to
lUsh it. Some of us got almost out of
he habit of doing this. A whole lot can be
lone from now on up to May 20 to work
ip a large bedding stock, but every day
jounts, and counts more with each suc-
essive day.

Late Bulb Stock

■ With a mild Winter, practically all
i'ver the country, the Dutch bulb stock
'Utdoors in flats and pans not only had
•he best chance to root but practically
'very plant is from 5-6in. tall at this
writing and is liable to become too tall
f left with a heavy covering much longer.
Pulips left with a one foot thick cover-
ng, will in time, grow right through it
ind will not only make it difficult to
■emove the soil between the plants, but
; if ten render them useless.

Bulb stock, if yet in frames or out-
loors should be attended to; if a heavy

layer of soil is on top, remove it down to
say not over 4in. or so of the surface of
the flats or pans. If you wish, a light
layer of leaves or straw can be placed
afterward on the remaining covering in
case a cold spell does set in. Some stock,
especially Darwin Tulips, are better off
without covering after the end of this
month. Clean the flats off and place them
into coldframes, where you can protect
them with sashes or place boards or shade
frames over them. These Tulips usually
will grow long enough without soil on top
of them after this date and, if you think
they are too short by the time you bring
thera in, place them a few days in a warm,
dark place, that will give you all the stem
you want.

Easter Bulb Stock

We never experienced a time when the
bulb stock brought in about 21 days be-
fore Easter, was further advanced than
it is this year and, with warm weather
iupvailinGT. sinde Tulips and Narcissi will
need holding back if they are to be in
good condition for Easter Sunday. The
same is true of the Hyacinths. You want
some pans of Hyacinths in full bloom for
display fully a week or more before
Easter, but orders you take for delivery
on Saturday before Easter should be filled
with plants where the flowers are only
partly open. To time your stock under
present weather conditions, is a thing to
keep any man busy; it is only by daily
going over your stock and watching close-
ly, that you can hope to avoid losing a
lot of money through either being too
early or too late. You should have a
place where you can force the stock as
well as one where you can put it to hold
it back. Try to have it just right and I
don't believe there ever was a Spring
when one was more puzzled as to what
the weather will be tomorrow than right
now. A sudden change and a cold week,
will mean to fire up in order to be on

time with the pans of Daffodils and the
double Tulips. More hot weather will
call for cool and dark <iuartci'S in order
to liave the single Tulips and the Hya-
cinths hold out.

Vegetable Plants for Spring Sales

You are not likely to have customers
who depend on you for supplying Toma-
toes, Peppers, Egg Plants and other vege-
table plants by the thousands, but no
doubt you have many who will want just
a few of such plants; large ones in pots
for their little gardens. Whether you
grow Asters and Zinnias in small pots,
or some of these vegetable plants doesn't
matter much as long as it pays. The
handling is about the same. Variety is
what counts; one customer wants the
Zinnias, the other calls for Tomatoes and
so on You should be well prepared for
all who come.

Sow seed of several varieties of Toma-
toes now; the same of Peppers and Egg
Plants. AH want a. warm house, grow on
nice stock in 2^4 's and a few in 3^'s and
■i's. They will pay as well as anything
you can grow. A little later, sow
out some Celery of the self -blanching sorts
and early Cabbage. If you sell bedding
plants, you want all these things, even
raise Parsley and grow a few plants on
in 21/^in. pots, for there is bound to be
some who are willing to pay the price
for a dozen well established plants, rather
than wait for the seed to come along out-
doors.

Early Annuals

It always pays to have well established
2^in. pot plants of Summer flowering
annuals, such as Asters, Snapdragons,
Freesias, Phlox, Larkspur, Marigolds,
Mignonette, Strawflowers, Salpiglossis,
Scabiosa and others during May. More
annuals than ever are planted for cut
flowers. A lot of people forget to sow
them in time, others have no facilities.

and still otliers don't want to be bothered
with sowing and would rather purchase
the eHtablinlied plants. Almost any of
them by being sown early and grown in
pots, will flower earlier and are well
worth tlie difl'crcnce in price over such as
are sown in a hotbed later on. If you
have more plants on hand than you can
sell later on, plant them out yourself.
Another way is to sow now and later on,
transplant the seedlings into frames and
sol! them from there. If some of the an-
nuals don't pay you as cut flowers during
the Sununer months, grow on a lot of
them during Spring. Advertise and push
them, that's just another way to make
annuals pay.

For Easter

There are always quite a number of
plants in the houses of the florist who
grows bedding stock, which can be used
to advantage Easter week. Poitevine
Geraniimis out of 2% or Syoin. pots when
in bloom, make good material to fill 6
and Sin. pans. If you do this with a
little care, any unsold can be lifted again
and shifted into a size larger pot than
they came out of. Small Marguerites in
flower, will also make nice pans, in fact,
many people would prefer them to taller
plants, such as we grow in 6in. pots for
Easter. Pansies which are in benches,
can be lifted and used for dishes or pans,
and the same is true of Polyanthus Prim-
roses. Your little Begonias, such as
Chatelaine or Prima Donna, usually are
in full flower by the middle of March and
are just the thing for Easter when five
or seven are used in a pan. Frequently
a customer will pass a beautiful Rambler
Kose, a Hydrangea or a Bougainvillea,
and select such madeup pans in prefer-
ence to anything else. Look about the
houses, and use some of the material on
hand; make up a few attractive pans a
few days before Easter and put them in
the show house and tui-n into money.

Flower Fanning

Is there any reason why a farm well
loping to the North is unsuitable for a
vayside garden where flowers can be
:rown for sale to auto people as they pass

i'y.

• In England I understand. Wallflowers
, ire grown by the acre to sell to passers-
5y; can you say how these gardens are
.perated?— H. S. M., N. Y.

— Ground sloping to the North is not
ikely to be so warm as ground facing
he other way, but it would perhaps be
;afer for some crops, as it would not catch
"he early sunshine on frosty mornings.
\We assume the ground is open, not shut
I m by trees, etc. The soil, if not too
:layey, will' produce almost any kind of
flower, but, if you want early bloom, you
ivill need to handle some perennials.
I There is, we fear, little hopes of your
imitating the English Wallflower growers.
The climate there most years, is mild
!enoiii;h to allow the plants to pass through
'the Winter without hurt. The Wallflower
can stand 15 deg. or so of frost without
the least injury but, in your location, one
snap at zero would end your chances of
a crop. The English method is to sow
in the open in May or June, prick out
early and plant 12in. apart in the early
Fall. The earlier the sowing, the big-
ger the plants; we have had them a foot
tall and well branched by October or
November. Given good weather, the
plants show buds as early as February,
but usually the main show of bloom is in
April along with Hyacinths and Daffo-
dils.

Your only chance, we think, is to carry
: over the plants in frames, sowing in July,
I BO that the plants will not be too large.
If weather permits, lift in March with a
pood ball and plant out, but you will
understand that late sowings cannot result
in big plants and long stems.

You might try the French early type
^ for Fall flowering. Sown now, and treated
j like Asters, they will flower freely in the

Diseased Geraniums

Kindly say what caused the enclosed
Geranium leaves to go wrong. They first
turned bro%vn and then shriveled up.
Many plants are behaving in this way as
fast as the foliage develops? — H. B. H.,
N. Y.

— Judging by the dried up examples re-
ceived, the plants are affected with leaf
spot. There are two diseases bearing this
name; one, which causes the foliage to
dry and shrivel, not hitherto being
reported in this country.

The common leaf spot causes the foli-
age to become pale and drop off. Gray
mold may also be ravaging your plants.
In any case, the cause of the trouble is
too much moisture around the plants dur-
ing the dull months and insufficient light
and air.

Eemove badly affected foliage and im-
prove the atmospheric conditions of the
house, and you will have little trouble.

As a rule. Geraniums are easily handled
but, when abused by too much heat and
moisture, and poor ventilation, -trouble
may be expected.

Fall.

Soil for Benches

I have signed contracts to build a
green house 30ft.xl50ft. with 4 benches.
I have no rotted sod soil this year, but
will have any amount next year. I am
unable to buy any at any price to fill
these benches. Will you inform me what
kind of soil I can use and how to prepare
same, so I can get good results with
growing Carnations, 'Mums, Gladiolus and
a few Sweet Peas in these beds? — ^A. C.
F. B., N. Y.

— You do not say what sort of soil you
have around, but assume you have grass
land from which you are cutting the turf
which is being stacked for use next year.
If such is the case, and there is any body

in the soil at all, go ahead and fill your
benches. There is far more talk about
soils for benches, etc. than is really es-
sential.

If the land is fairly good, spread a
moderate amount of manure and a little
lime and then plow it. Grass or no grass,
get it into the houses right away. If
wireworms are present, you will need to
watch out, as it will be all up if this
yellow pest gets among your Carnations
and Gladioli.

If the land is clayey, you will need
to burn sqme to lighten it, or work in
some fine coal dust, sand or mortar rub-
bish.

Assuming the soil you have on hand
■will grow Corn or any kind of vegetables,
don't worry about rotted turf.

Snails and Sow Bugs

We are overrun with snails and sow
bugs, and we have tried many ways to
clean them out, but with little success.

Can you give us a positive remedy, we
will certainly appreciate your help? — W.
B. C, Pa.

— Reference to sow bugs or wood lice
will be found on page 535 of our last
issue. AVe are not certain whether you
mean shell snails or the common soft slug;
the former are not usually so troublesome
nor so numerous as the latter. If the
pests are on the benches in your houses,
the treatment accorded to sow bugs will
largely result in clearing the snails also.

Being night feeders, they always seek
cover in the daytime under wood or other
material.

If you can do a little night hunting, lay
small heaps of bran about; the snails will
quickly answer to the call, and you can
gather them up wholesale. Powdered
alum will kill every slug or snail it
touches, and you can upset the digestion of
many by mixing a little arsenic and sugar
w'ith bran.

Watch out for any eggs, you can recog-
nize the small transparent globules read-
ily; they are to be found in odd corners
or in the soil. Dust them with hot lime
of alum. Lettuce leaves smeared with
grease, laid grease downward, will attract
many, and you can gather them up in the
morning.

By persistent hunting and clearing away
of all oddments, you can beat these pests
out. Avoid weeds and rubbish around
your houses outside; such material encour-
ages pests and diseases.

Domestic Tuberous Begonias

European gardeners, especially men who
have visited Belgium at some time or
other, realize the possibilities of Tuberous
Begonias as bedding plants.

Some of these gardeners have now mi-
grated to this country and utilized their
knowledge of this most wonderful of bed-
ding plants, examples of which were fre-
quently seen in public parks and private
estates where something especially strik-
ing was required for a shady location.
However, when the Federal Horticultural
Board through its Quarantine 37 sa.id,
"hands off" it became impossible to im-
port the bulbs of this important flowering
and bedding plant. It was generally con-
ceded at that time that no substitute
could be had, especially for semi-shaded
situations in the Middle West.

It remained however, for Fritz Bahr
the well known writer for The Flokist's
Exchange to introduce an American crop
of these bulbs from Eureka, Cal. He
finds a ready sale in his home town of
Highland Park, 111., for several hundred
plants each season. The bulbs are now
being offered by American seedsmen and
should meet with a leady sale if for no
other purpose than to further American
production.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Market

Market conditions are much im-
proved over the previous two weeks.
While prices have not advanced, the sup-
ply has diminished until it is practically
all absorbed daily, and there is very little
left for the wholesale houses to carry
over.

The retail stores all complain that busi-
ness is slow, but that is usually the case
just before Easter; this year is no ex-
ception.

The big question before the trade now
is what will Easter bring forth, but there
is no doubt but what it will be the same
as in 3'ears gone by — more business than
can be properly handled and taken care

I of. Even in times of depression and, no
I matter if other business is poor, past rec-
I ords show that the big flower buying days
were always good.

Eoses are in somewhat smaller supply
than last week and, with few exceptions,
clean up daily. Premier seems to be the
best both in quantity and quality. Co-
lumbia is good and as popular as ever.
Butterfly and Ophelia sell readily and, in
this section. Butterfly has not been able
to supplant Ophelia in popularity. Other
arrivals include Pink and White Killar-
ney, Maryland, Hilda, Pilgrim, Simburst,
Ward, Milady and Richmond.

The Carnation arrivals are smaller
than they were for two weeks past, it
looks as if the big crop is over for the
present.

The price of Easter Lilies and Callas is

more steady than it has been, and most
of them are sold at list prices.

Jonquils, Tulips and Paperwhite Nar-
cissiis are still plentiful; in fact, too plen-
tiful to realize any decent returns.

Sweet Peas, Snapdragon and Iris are
good property and clear daily at fair
prices.

The demand for Valley, orchids and
Violets is light, and at times they are
hard to move at any price.

There is a surplus of Southern greens
on the market at present; some of it finds
its way to the dump.
Retail Florists Meeting

Thursday evening, March 3, The
Retail Florists' Ass'n of the Pittsburgh
district met at the Seventh ave. Hotel for
their regular monthly meeting. Many out-
of-town members were present, and one of
the best meetings ever held was the re-
sult. The McCallum Co. orchestra fur-
nished the entertainment, which was en-
joyed by everyone present. One of the
questions up for discussion, brought up
by some of the retailers was that some of
the wholesale houses were selling stocks
to the street boys for a fraction of what
it was offered to them at. E. J. McCal-
lum, of The McCallum Co. in answering,
said "that it was foolish to think that any
business man would dispose of his stock
to the street boys for a smaller price than
could be realized on it from the regular
trade; a business could not exist that did
business that way." He also stated that
the retail stores would not handle the
stock sold the street boys at any price;
that stock sold them is simply get what
vou can for it or throw it away. It mat-
ters not to the street boy if the Carna-
tions are all white — A Carnation is a
Carnation to him regardless of color, and
flowers are flowers no matter what they
are; he will take everything left that
looks like a flower. It is a question long
discussed and, more than likely, it will
never be settled to everyone's satisfaction.
In our opinion the street boy helps and
does not hurt the business. The whole-
saler is not doing justice to his growers,
who throws stock away that will sell for
anything at all. E. C. Tipton.

Lancaster, Pa.

:March 5. — Retail trade has not been
bad the past week and, with the military
funeral of Lieut. Jacob P. Wolfer, who
was killed in an airplane accident m
Cuba on Sunday the sixth of Februaiy,
everv florist in the city had their hands
full "with work. It was perhaps the big-
gest display of flowers ever seen at a
funeral in this city.

The stores all have that Spring-like
appearance that brings an immense trade
in plants on a favorable day. The B. F.
Barr establishment ran a one cent sale
again with Primroses and Cyclamen, that
is, you buy one plant for say Sl.oO, and
for Si. 51 vou get two of them, this is the
third or 'fourth sale of this kind they
have run, so it goes without saying that
they are a satisfactory proposition when-
ever sales slow up or stock piles up.

iVriss Carrie Steckmen of the H. A.
Schroyer establishment spent a day in
Philadelphia looking over stock and en-
joving a bit of hospitality on the side.
By the way, Mr. Schroyer has made
enough money to have the gout, and is
under treatment for it.

Mrs. G^o. Goldbach with a good pro-
portion of her stock fresh from county-
growers, gets her full share of the busi-
ness going.

Walter Hammond, without any ostenta-
tion, is piling up the coin about as fast
and as steady as a florist could expect in
a city of this size.

The Rosary have a good portion of their
stock of seeds in the cases, and the trade
is beginning to open up with prospects
of big business. Their stock of cut
flowers and plants is second to none in
the city and this, coupled with sound
business principles, is building up a busi-
ness that blooms like a Rose.

Harry K. Rohrer, Elmer Weaver, Lloyd
Weaver, Phares Hostetter and B. F. Barr
made up the party to attend the Philadel-
phia club meeting last Tuesday. Mr.
Rohrer attended to some business and re-
turned home in the afternoon suffering
from a verj" bad cold. B. F. Barr went
down in the afternoon for the meeting,
the others spent the day in visiting some
of the Philadelphia growers.

Flowers are coming into market more
freely every day and, if the weather does
not force things too fast, this Easter will
see the greatest lot of plants and flowers
Lancaster County has ever produced.

P^ Graaff Bros., Ltd., Noordwijk. Holland.—
Wholesale catalog of bulbs, .\meriean edition. A
most extensive list consisting of 64 pages and
pleasing blue covers. Hyacinths for forcing are a
specialtj', while the list of standard varieties is of
great length. Tulips of every class, including the
new late hybrids, the Lily Tuhp and bunch-
fiowered type are so numerous, that over 25 pages
are devoted to them, although the descriptions in
every instance are exceedingly brief. Sixteen
pages are required for Daffodils and Narcissi, the
fill remammg pages being devoted to Crocus,
anghsh. Spanish, and Dutch Iris. Gladioli and
Montbretia. Unquestionably one of the most im-
portant bulb catalogs to reach us.

Dahlia Patrick O'Mara

A sin^larly handsome and life-size re-
production m colors of this new Dahlia
which won the gold medal of the WH-
X g\^\^^ Society at its recent show iL
the Hotel Pennsylvania, September, 1920
IS being sent out by its originators, r!
Vincent Jr. & Sons Co., of White

Y,f''}-' ^\ ™^ ^^^'^^ ^^^ attracted
attention wherever shown, not only on ac-
count of its extremely attractive color and
great size, but because of the fact that
tne flowers are borne on such long, strong
erect stems. The flowers are firmlv set at
right angles close to the stem. The color
IS an unusually soft and pleasing shade
of orange buff, slightly tinged with Neyron
rose, an effective and rare Autumn shade
which should meet with considerable de-
mand. It is described as being a splendid
shipping and long keeping Dahlia.

Common carriers are responsible for
the full value of property entrusted to
their care where shippers are not given
the benefit of lower transportation rates
for released over non-released shipments.
A decision embodying the above has been
handed down by the United States Su-
preme Court in a case involving the move-
ment of 56 cases of merchandise shipped
via the Pacific Mail S. S. Co. from Toka-
hama, Japan^ by S. Ontra & Bro., to their
own order in New York.

The shipment was turned over at San
Francisco to the Southern Pacific Co. to
complete the journey. The merchandise
was completely destroyed in a collision,
and, while the railroad admitted liability,
it held that its liability was limited to
SlOO per case. The Appellate Division of
the New York Supreme Court upheld this
contention, but the Court of Appeals re-
versed that decision, ordering a verdict
of $17,449.01, the value of the merchan-
dise, and the latter was upheld by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
File Tour Incone Tax Returns

With the approach of March 15,
taxpayers are advised by the Internal
Revenue Bureau, not to delay in the
preparation and filing of their income
tax returns for the year 1920. To avoid
penalties, the returns must be in the
hands of a collector or a deputy collector
of internal revenue on or before midnight
of that date. Revenue officers have been
assigned to assist taxpayers in correctly
making out the forms, and are located in
aU large cities. This service is offered
without cost to the public.

Questions that can be answered with-
out assistance should be filled in on the
forms before the help of revenue agents
is sought.

Returns are required of every married
couple whose net income and that of de-
pendent children for the year was §2000
or more, and from every single person — or
married person not living with wife or
husband — whose net income was $1000 or
more. The exemptions are $2000 for mar-
ried persons and head of families, to-
gether with $200 additional for each
child under 18 or dependent upon them
for support, and SIOOO for single persons
or married persons not living with wife
or husband, and are determined by the
taxpayer's status on Dec. 31, 1920. Hus-
band and wife may make a combined re-
turn of their joint income if less than
$5000, but if the income of either ex-
ceeded that sum, separate returns must
be made for the purpose of computing
surtax.

The tax may be paid in full at the time
of filing the return, or in quarterly in-
stalments on March 15, June 15, Sept. 15
and Dec. 15.

Reducing Taxes, Increasing Tarifls

The repeal of the war and excess
profits, transportation and soft drink
taxes and the reduction of the income
surtaxes are proposed in a bill to amend
the revenue law introduced in Congress
Feb. 23 by Representative Longworth of
Ohio. Included in the transportation
taxes to be repealed are the levies on
freight, personal transportation and seats,
berths and staterooms.

The changes proposed by Congressman
Longworth would reduce the revenue by
nearly $900,000,000 a year, which would
be offset by a protective tariff law, the
repeal of the present $2000 exemption for
the income of corporations and the plac-
ing of an additional tax of five per cent
upon corporation income. Many other
provisions of the bill are directed toward
the simplification of the tax system and
bringing it up to date. E. A. D.

Trade Canditions

Business with the Louisville floral
trade is good and, according to a number
of the local retailers, there isn't a cloud
in the sk>- just now; not a single cause
for complaint. Demand has been good
and prices are being well maintained.
Easter is close at hand and promises to
bring a tremendous volume of business
this year.

It is interesting to note that local stocks
are in fine shape; a number of houses are
not having to go to outside markets.
Roses are specially good, while Carna-

tions are large and strong. Lilies are in
good supply and of fine quality, while
Sweet Peas, Violets, Orchids, and pot
plants, are all in good shape and fair
supply.

Prices quoted at retail show Roses sell-
ing at $2 to $8 a doz.; Carnations, $1.50
to $2; Lilies, $5, also Callas, Sweet Peas,
S3 to $4 a 100; Violets, $2 to S3 a 100;
orchids, $24 to $36 a doz. Orchids were
selling up to $50 and $60 a doz., not so
long ago.

Plants have been in unusually good con-
dition this year. Cyclamen and Begonias
being in big supply. The shops are loaded
with blooming bulb stock.

News Gatherings

Dave Weller, of the William Walker
Co., said: "Our plant stock was so good
this year, that we have made a couple of
grave covers of White Cyclamen, using
orchid centers, for wealthy persons who
wanted something out of the ordinary."

August R. Baumer reported that busi-
ness had been coming in nicely; he felt
that Easter business would be especially
good.

George Schulz, of the Jacob Schulz Co.,
remarked that he had been so busy in the
store that he hadn't seen or heard any-
thing of any special interest in the trade.

Henry Fuchs said: "The florists haven't
any cause for complaint this year. I hear
that some of them are complaining a
little, but there are some who are never
satisfied. If business was never any
worse than it is right now, we should all
be satisfied."

Discussing the location of florists' shops
in Louisville, it is interesting to note that
whereas there were a number of shops
North of Chestnut st. on Fourth ave.,
when the Louisville correspondent started
writing for The Exchange, in 1913, there
is today, but one shop North of Chestnut
on Fourth, that being the Jacob Schulz
shop. There are two shops on Chestnut
just East of Fourth ave., but on the
South side of the street. Fred Haupt and
the Miller Floral Co., are on Jefferson,
between Second and Third, these being
the only two downtown shops North of
Chestnut other than the Schulz shop,
showing how business has been working
South toward Broadway.

Miss Anna Brooks, office manager of the
William Walker Co., has been away from
the shop for several days on account of
illness, but is es^sected back shortly.

The Kentucky Society of florists will
hold its next monthly meeting within a
few days at the headquarters of the Kunz-
man Floral Co., in the West End.

It is reported that two negroes, for-
merly employed by the F. Walker Co., have
since gone into the floral business for
themselves in the colored district, one of
these being Robert Pulliam, who de-
veloped into a very good designer.

August R. Baumer, was elected treasurer
of the Louisville Lodge of Moose, at the
annual meeting a few days ago.

Louisville seedsmen report that business
is picking up nicely, and the florists report
that flower and garden seeds are now mov-
ing much better.

The Louisville Garden Club, formed by
leading local women during the war, has
been dissolved, it being found that after
the war period, there was little interest
shown.

Boone Gardner, president of the Keu
tucky Nursery Co., has been having con-
siderable trouble in the courts over a suit
in which he received a judgment of $918
against Ben. H. Wilson, one William
Russell, testified to a contract having been
made, but later, Russell in an affidavit,
stated that he had been coerced into mak-
ing the statement on the stand. As the
case now stands it is a hard matter to
figure out just who is at fault.

Baltimore, Md.

March 8. — Taken all in all, the market
this week- has a fairly good tone and,
considering the great quantities of stock
arriving, the prices have been steady.
Only the Violet, Sweet Pea and Calla
Lily corner in the wholesale houses a
trifle crowded. Other stock is coming and
going along normal lines.

In Roses, the top giades hold to 20c.
medium, and shorts range in price from
10c. to 12c. Carnations are in fair supply,
a few fancy at lOc, but most of the stock
selling at 6c. to 8c. Bulbous stock is hold-
ing back just a bit; Hyacinths at 10c. to
12c., Tulips and Daffodils about 6c.; some
fine Emperors are seen. Callas are in
hea^T supply and the prices have tumbled.

Local stock of giganteum and formosum
Lilies keeps up to 25c. with a good de-

mand. The orchid situation is tighten: r
up, and prices on Cattleyeas are gradua ,
advancing.

Last week, extra fancy blooms were &
ing from $9 to $10 per doz. Snapdrai .
is showing much better in arrivals, a i
some fancy stock is quoted at $4 per d

Local Gardenias are among the new ■
rivals, with a fair demand; Camellias j i
still on the market, but prices low.

Sweet Peas were never finer; this k ;
fancy stock is worthy of mention. Viol ■
about as last week in price, with a si
demand.

Greens are still very plentiful.

A meeting of the Publicity Committee
was held at the New Willard Hotel,
Washington, D. C, on Jan. 23.

Chairman Henry Penn of Boston, pre-
sided.

There were also present : Secretary
John Yoxmg, New York; Treasurer J. J.
Hess, Omaha, Neb.; S. A. F. President
Thomas Eoland, Nahant, Mass.; Wallace
E,. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.; George As-
mus, Chicago, 111.; J. F. Ammann, Ed-
wardsville. 111.; C. C. Pollworth, Mil-
waukee, Wis., and ex-President A. L.
Miller, Jamaica, N. Y.; E. Allan Peirce
and George Moyse, Boston, Mass., were
present as visitors. The meeting opened
at 7.30 p.m.

After reading the minutes of the last
meeting, the secretary presented hia
financial report, which was very lengthy,
and was, on motion of Mr. Hesa, adopted
as read. The secretary also read the re-
port in detail of Joyce & Mattis, New
York, public auditors, which showed the
accounts as kept by the secretary to be in
excellent shape.

On motion, the auditors' report was
turned over to the Auditing Comm,ittee.

The Publicity Service Bureau

The report of H. V. Swenson as man-
ager of the Florists' Publicity Service Bu-
reau was, in the absence of Mr. Swenson,
presented by Mr. Asmus. The report
covered sales of supplies and billboards,
and showed a profit to the campaign fund
of about $3000, produced in the period be-
tween the Spring of 1920 and the date of
the present meeting. Mr. Swenson, in the
report, stated that it seemed impossible
under the conditions existing, to meet out-
side competition in similar lines to main-
tain the prices necessary to turn over a
profit from the Bureau, and asked to be
relieved from his proposition not later
than June 1. After a lengthy discussion,
Mr. Pierson moved, seconded by Mr. Hess
that the present agreement with Mr.
Swenson continue on the same terms, and
the motion was carried.

The meeting then went into a long dis-
cussion upon the relations of the different
organizations formed for publicity pur-
poses with the campaign, to get, if pos-
sible, an idea as to the amoimt of sub-
scriptions likely to be obtained under plans
adopted for division of collections. While
an approximation Tyas arrived at, it was
not found that any action on the_ part of
the committee was required at this time.

Billboards Still Available

Mr. Asmus reported that arrangements
had been completed with the Brinkman
Co., for the storage of the billboards on
hand, and for shipments from storage

upon orders coming in from now on. About
157 boards were found to be on hand,

Mr. Ammann for the sub-committee
having in charge the preparation of a
plan to be offered to the S. A. _F. Execu-
tive Board covering a more equitable and
just system for collecting funds for future
publicity work, reported a plan in accord-
ance with their instructions, and which
has already been published in full in the
trade papers. Mr. Asmus moved the
adoption of the report by the committee
as a whole, which step precipitated a dis-
cussion that occupied considerable time.
Finally the motion was seconded by Mr.
Hess, and Mr. Asmus called for a poll
vote.

Further discussion was necessary before
the vote could be completed, but ultimate-
ly, all voted in the affirmative, and Mr.
Ammann was deputed to present the re-
port to the board in behalf of the commit- |
tee.

The matter of appropriations for 1921
then came up, and finances were fully
discussed. While the estimated funds to
be available during the year approached
a satisfactory total, it was not found de-
sirable to make definite appropriations at
that meeting, excepting as applying to ad-
ministration and promotion expenses,
which were made the same as previously.

The meeting then adjourned subject to
the call of the chair.

John Young, Secretary.

Production Costs in Nurseries

Speaking on the above subject at the
annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Nurs-
eryman's Ass'n, Charles T. Trotter of
Sard is, B. C, said: "The cost of your
trees is the amount of money you have
actually spent and, until that has been
covered you have made no iJrofit for,
until you have replaced and paid for the
replacement of the trees you shipped, not
forgetting the culls and and the ones that
never grow, you have accomplished noth-
ing."

On the same subject, a writer to the
Horticultural Advertiser says: The cost
of production can be arrived at approxi-
mately by taking the wholesale value and
deducting the average gross profits. Car-
ried out over a series of years, this should
give, approximately, the cost of production
of the whole of the stock.

STANDARD TREE BANDS

Protects Trees and Large Shrubbery

Against All Clinibing Worms,

Caterpillars, Moths and

Insects

Lasts a Seeison — Fully Guaranteed

Made of heavy waterproof paper, with
a sticky material under the umbrella-like
canopy. This canopy protects the "gum
stickum" from the weather, as well as
from dirt, dust and falling leaves.

No climbing caterpillar or insect can
pass this sticky material. It catches them
and holds them if they set foot upon it.

Attached to the band on the inside, is a
strip of fluffy felt. This felt fills up the
depressions in the bark and prevents pas-
sage under the band. No cutting away of
bark is necessary. The felt fills it up.

Guaranteed to be effective for the sea-
son, in all weathers and all temperatures
in which worms or insects are active
(about 40 deg. Fahr. to highest Summer
heat).

Put up in rolls, 25 and 100 feet lengths,
flat when boxed, mushrooms when tacked
on tree.

Easily applied. Simply cut length to en-
circle tree. Tack, then raise the outer
band imtil it stands out like an umbrella.
It will mushroom as shown in cut and so
remain. It only takes a moment.

Cheaper and better than the usual sticky
materials applied direct to bark. Posi-
tively cannot injure tree. Bark colored
and not unsightly. Can be taken down and
discarded at end of season.

The most effective and practical method
of banding trees yet devised — also the
cheapest. Has the endorsement of for-
esters and fruit growers everywhere.

A powerful, highly concen-
trated and soluble plant food
for flowers, house plants,
shrubbery, trees, gardens, truck
lands and lawns.

Promotes luxurious grovfth;
increases the yield; imparts
a deep green color to foliage
and brilliancy to flowers.

The most highly concen-
trated and properly balanced
fertilizer ever compounded.

Many times the strength of
ordinary fertilizers. Never be-
fore has such a high analysis
been attained.

A pinch will intensely ferti-
lize a house plant, a one-pound
package 200 square feet.

Standard Flower and Gar-
den Fertilizer will revive those
puny, pale, sickly plants, flow-
ers, trees, shrubs, etc. A trial
will convince.

The Market

Feb. 26. — Stock has been very plen-
tiful and as a result there have been
many sales of flowers at low prices. Un-
fortunately the growers' prices have
varied considerably. At one store we saw
Daffodils bringing 8c. and at others only
3c. The latter appeared to be better
stock, too. Dealers claim that there
should not be such a wide difference in
charges. There should also be closer co-
operation between the growers and the re-
tailers. The latter claim that the whole-
salers should consult them whenever
there is an oversupply of any line instead
of peddling the flowers to the fruit and
drug stores.

Bulb stock has been abundant. Sales
have been interfered with, however, by the
cold weather. Lent has also had some in-
fluence, as there are fewer decorations.

S. Tidy & Son, one of the oldest retail
flower stores in Toronto, have decided to
apply for membership in the F. T. D.

Retailers EzeontiTe Meets

The annual convention of the Ca-
nadian Florists and Gardeners Associa-
tion will be held at Peterborough on
August 9, 10. and. 11. The Canadian-.Re-

tail Florists Ass'n, which is now officially
a branch of the C. F. G. A. will meet at
the same time and place. On Feb. 21 a
meeting of the executive was held at
Peterborough, when the following were
present; W. E. Groves, president, Ham-
ilton; H. J. Eddy, secretary, Montreal;
W. W. Gammage and B. B. Hamilton,
London; W. 0. Hall, E. J. Hayward and
Mr. Wiltshire, Montreal; C. J. Hay,
Brockville; S. A. McFadden, F. D. Clark,
A. Simpson, T. Manton, Geo. Douglas and
H. J. Moore, Toronto; S. Jordon, Mr.
Thompson and Mr. Williamson, Peterbor-
ough.

It was decided to hold the usual exhibi-
tion which will be in charge of the C. F.
G. A. executive. Mr. Thompson was ap-
pointed assistant secretary.

Mr. Tirrell of Calgary will be asked
to give a paper on Retail Store Man-
agement; a representative of the Toronto
Ketail Florists Club will speak on "Arts and
Floral Arrangement," and give a practical
demonstration, and Prof. Arthur Gibson,
Ottawa, will be asked to give a paper on
Insect Pests. Other papers will be an-
nounced later.

Resolutions were passed supporting the
Botanical Garden at Toronto, and urg-
ing that all F. T. D. international bills
should go through the clearing house at
Detroit.

Announcement

AFTER more than twenty-five years in the general nur-
sery business at Waxahachie, Texas, we are now adding
a Florist Department to our business, having just com-
pleted one propagating house and one concrete-steel structure
30x100 ft. It is our plan to add houses as needed until our
plant is second to none in the country.

We have secured the services of Mr. C. Cantu and Mr.
W. P. Herring, two of the best greenhouse propagators, de-
signers, etc. in the south and under whose management this
new department will be placed. From the time we announce
Iready for business, our aim shall be to render the same depeiid-
lable service in the florist end of the business as has character-
lized our dealings in nursery products during a quarter of a
fcentury.

We shall be glad to be placed upon the mailing lists of
florists, for in beginning our operations very naturally there
are many items we shall want to buy. All mail for this de-
partment should be addressed Waxahachie Nursery Com-
pany, Greenhouse Department, Waxahachie, Texas. Those
florists who are also nurserymen are acquainted with our finan-
cial rating through American Protective Association and years
of dealings, and to those who do not know us we are glad to
refer to commercial agencies and to nurserymen generally.

Raspberries and
Currants

The article which follows is
somewhat of a departure from
the class of material generally
covered on this page, but small
fruits have a place in many of
our nurseries, and if we can
interest the florist to the point
where he will make it a part
of his business to urge upon
hia customers the purchase of
these small fruits, and go to
the nurserymen for his stock,
we will have accomplished our
purpose in enlarging the mar-
ket for some of the most de-
sirable • and easily cared for
family fruits which should be
found in the gardens of every
suburban home. The article is
furnished us by Howard N.
Scarff, New Carlisle, O., who
is an authority in the small
fruit line, and whose statements l
therefore are unquestionable, k

perhaps their worst weed if in a fruit-
ing patch. In the nursery, where num-
ber of plants is the object, the reds are
cultivated clean the first year, while the
second and succeeding years the suck-
ers are allowed to grow and are dug
as plants in the Fall or in the following
Spring.

Pruning is essential. During the
Spring, or wet season in the West, the
canes of the black and purple caps must
be pinched off at the top when two and
a half or three feet in height. This en-
courages strong lateral wood for the fol-
lowing season. After fruiting, the old
canes of all varieties are removed and

j Quite often a customer wants some
■kind of small fruit for his garden and
jwill include this in with his order for
I plants and will invariably leave the
[choice of vairieties to the florist. The
average florist, having so many prob-
lems in his own line of work that re-
' quire most of his time, and not having
I studied these fruits very closely, finds
: himself at a loss to know what to rec-
; ommend.

i This is an age of specialization and
} many florists have arranged with re-
I hable nurserymen to handle this class
1 of orders for them. That the florist
. may know what to safely recommend
1 to his customers I will in brief de-
' scribe a few of the reliable varieties of
j Raspberries and Currants, including

■ their methods of propagation and gen-
i eral care.

j Raspberries

I Cultural Requirements and Planting

Generally speaking, Raspberries are a
I cool climate plant, thriving best in the
I Northern and Pacific Coast States.
{ When grown for either propagating or
for their fruits they require a rich well-
j drained loam with plenty of humus or
I organic matter, not too heavy in tex-
j ture. The red varieties will stand more
of a sandy loam than either the black
; or purple. A soil too ricli in nitrogen
. results in a rank but tender growth.
i Good drainage is essential to suc-
cess so, in all cases, avoid especially low
I ground or pockets.

' The blackcap and purple Raspberries
' are propagated from the tips of branches

HE mention of pockets in walls brings to mind the rock garden
where alpine plants revel and delight us with their blooms. But

styles change; why not pockets? Here we have something larger

in wall pocket construction, and the "tailor" did the job so well that he
preserved this clump of Ash trees and at the same time "broke" the monotony
that characterizes a high retaining wall.

"Where there's a will there's a way," and where those in charge of
construction desire to save obstructing trees or plants there is usually
a way if some thought is given the problem. In this instance it was not
a question of preserving a solitary tree of great value, for there are many
trees nearby, but it represents a spirit of "mason spare that tree" aiid
aside from preserving this tree, which screens objectionable buildings in
a natural park scene, it served as a lesson for every workman on the job
to have a higher regard for trees.

Nurserymen called in for consultation and advice can often make sug-
gestions and devise ways, unfamiliar to the contractor, to preserve existing
tree growth and the subsequent enjoyment of a prized tree reflects to the
credit of the nurseryman who gave advice for its preservation. Such a
nurseryman will sell more plants.

burned. This cleans up the patch and
aids in controlling infestations.

Principal Enemies

The principal enemies of the Rasp-
berry are the crowngall, anthracnose,
orange rust and cane blight. To prevent
these diseases try to avoid planting in-
fested stock. Cut out and destroy all
plants in the patch found to be diseased.
The presence of cane borers may be de-
tected by the wilting of the ends of the
new growths. If cut off low enough to
remove the egg further spread may be
prevented.

Best Commercial Varieties by Color

In order of their ripening the best
commercial varieties , of Raspberries
are, of the reds : June (a comparatively
new variety of merit). King, Herbert
(stands severe cold), Cuthbert and Per-
fection (has very strong cane growth).
The St. Regis (sometimes known as
Ranere), the standard everbearer, may
be strongly recommended for the home
garden, especially where water may be
applied during the hot dry Summer. A
luxuriant crop of fine fruit is borne
until frost.

The Erskine Park and La France are
promising everbearers recently placed oil
the market; both are quite productive
of good sized fruit, the former being
somewhat conical in shape, while the
introducer of the latter especially points
out the quality of the fruit and the
strong growth of the plant as distin-
guished from other everbearers. The
Syracuse Red is a new standard bearer
whose outstanding characteristics are
hardiness, exceptionally long fruiting
season and large size of fruit.

Blackcap varieties are : Kansas, Black
Diamond especially recommended for
evaporation and home consumption and
having comparatively few seeds ; Scarff,
similar in some respects to the^ Gregg
but excels that variety in productiveness,
reliability, size, and firmness of fruit,
the canes being especially resistant to
anthracnose and other cane diseases.
Cumberland and Gregg are old favor-
ites, well worthy of their reputation.

Of the purples Shaffer was at one
time quite popular, largely because of its
hardiness and productiveness, but the
fact that its fruit is quite soft EUid per-
ishable has gained it much disfavor.
Cardinal and Columbian are the staiid-
ard varieties safe to recommend, with
Royal perhaps the most promising of
all, having large fruit, deep red in color,
and a long, very productive fruiting sea-
son, and has been found exceptionally
hardy. I consider this a good variety
for either garden or commercial plant-
ings.

Golden Queen is the standard yellow
variety.

Currants

Cultural Requirements and Planting

Most of the old gardens as well as
those of the present day contain a few
Currant bushes. These are moisture-
loving plants and are found growing
most luxuriantly in our northern sec-
tions and Canada. They are mostly used
for culinary purposes although the
white and a few red varieties have a
pleasing flavor when eaten right off the
bush. There are three forms of com-
mercial importance in this country, dis-
tinguished by their color, the varieties
of the white, black and red, the blacks

Goyernment Expenditures— Essential
and Otherwise

There is something more than irony, something much
more painful to horticultural enthusiasts, in a compari-
son of the facts set down in last week's "Week at the
Capital" as to the details of the Agricultural Appro-
priation Bill as passed by the Senate. Think of it,
$360,000 for free seeds, $15,000 for the "cultivation and
care of the Washington grounds and gardens of the
Department of Agriculture," and yet $20,000 is refused
for an investigation of insects affecting florists' green-
house plants. Granted that these crops are not part of
the nation's food supply; nevertheless, the florists' in-
dustry in the aggregate represents a l^itimate invest-
ment of a good many millions of dollars — and $20,000
spent in its behalf might easily mean a great deal of
benefit for many an industrious, progressive plantsman.

Senate Trails House on Free Seed Vote

Timie honored custom, the appeal of the pork barrel
or something, proved all powerful during the last few
days of the Federal Legislature that ended its session
last Thursday, and the Senate, like the House, voted in
favor of Congressional free seeds — $360,000 worth. And
this in spite of the fact that the proposal was openly
denounced from the Senate floor as "cheap graft." The
final vote, taken after an hour of discussion during
which the naval appropriation bill was sidetracked, was
55 to 22, six Democrats and 16 Republicans voting
against the free seed provision. The type of argument
advanced in favor of it is illustrated by the statement
of Senator Heflin of Alabama, that "If there ever was
a time when we needed free seeds, that time is now."
Senator Smith of South Carolina announced that the
"sending of seeds tended to prove to the farmers that
they were not forgotten in Washington."

Better to be forgotten, we can imagine most farmers
saying, than to be remembered in such a matmer.

Technical Training for Future Florists W^'

The Illinois State Florists Association is to be con-
gratulated upon having turned to a source of first hand
information on the important question of The Value of
Scientific Training in Floriculture — namely the world
of the student himself. It is further to be congratulated
upon securing from that source such an effective address
as that of Julian D. Smith, printed elsewhere in this
issue. We may debate all we like as to what we think
is the best method of training young men but, after all,
the court of last decision and the proof of our wisdom
or the opposite consists of those young men themselves.

There is no doubt as to what Mr. Smith thinks on this
point. Yet he does not ask his hearers to accept his
opinion without proof. Rather he urges them to com-
pare two hypothetical cases and at the end of ten years
see whether the scientifically trained florist or the gradu-
ate of the apprentice system has attained the greater
success as measured by the larger meaning of the word.
Of course a single such comparison, even if it could be
carried through, would mean little; too much depends
upon the character of the individual and the details of
the situations in which he finds himself. Nevertheless
the vigor and assurance with which the suggestion is
made carries not a little conviction and lends weight to
the argument in favor of more adequate and more
generally available education along scientific lines for
all who would follow the fioricultural industry and
bring credit to it.

Upon one general premise advanced by Mr. Smith
we beg to differ, or at least to reserve judgment. This
is the statement that "a student usually decides what
business or profession he wishes to make his lifework
before he completes his high school education." We
doubt if a majority of youths do formulate their plans
at so early an age; and in the case of those who do,
we are inclined to believe that a definite waiting oppor-
tunity has a good deal to do with it. In other words,
if a boy sees a possible opening in his father's business,
or an attractive chance of working up in some other
established business with which he has become ac-
quainted, he is much more likely to plot his life course
and give the necessary time to a college career to help
him on his way.

All the more reason, then, why we should strive to
make floriculture a profitable and appealing industry so
that it \vill attract young men and enable Aem to early
formulate their plans and start on their roads to success.
.That is, let us make the florist trade worthy of the
best of our youths and in return, let us help those
youths in every possible way to become worthy of the
florist trade.

Pot Lilies

As will be seen from our Chicago newsletter, H. N.
Bruns, a well-known florist, foresees the time when pot-
grown Lilies for Easter and other dates will be done
away with. Such stock is a trouble and an expense,
he says, and he considers the growers themselves will
save considerably through not having to handle cum-
bersome pots.

Perhaps we are wrong, but we rather fancy that Mr.
Bruns would never be sure of his Easter Lilies if the
growers discarded pot culture. Anyway, we have never
seen a Lily forcer who aimed at regular supplies, grow-
ing his bulbs other than in pots.

In the first place they are out of the way after pot-
ting, as any odd corner suffices until they start ; secondly,
owing to their erratic character they have to be con-
stantly watched and shifted about to hasten or retard
them as required. Growing on a bench would probably
extend the season of blooming of a house of Lilies, but
it would doubtless result in loss rather than gain to the
grower. So far as the retailer is concerned, it is for
him to decide whether he wants the pots or not.

What is a government for? We are told that the
Emergency Tariff Bill that occupied so many of the
precious hours of the last Congress was never expected
to escape the President's veto and was merely prepared
and voted for simply as a sop to impressionable con-
stituents. Similarly the free seed proposal, ridiculed as
a "hoax," a "cheap graft" and a "fake" by Senators
and Congressmen, disapproved by the Department of
Agriculture and heartily condemned by agricultural
authorities everywhere, \vas given the usual attention
and, as usual, acted upon favorably by a comfortable
majority in both Senate and House. What is a govern-
ment for? Do we need to elect law makers to enact or
try to enact such futile, undesirable, pernicious meas-
ures as the above examples? Oh government, what
monstrous follies are committed in thy name!

Unreasonable Opposition to Advertising Flowers

One of the objections raised to both local and na-
tional advertising by the florists appears to emanate
from within the ranks of the industry itself, certain
ones alleging that the invitation to the public at large
to buy flowers is bound to result in higher prices there-
for to the retailer. To bring about such a result, we are
quite confident, was uever in the thoughts of the or-
ganizers of the National Publicity Campaign; had it
been there, the results would have been apt to give
them a painful shock. The aim and intent is to conserve
prices, not to unduly raise them.

Students of advertising on a large scale know, to the
contrary, that advertising is not undertaken with a
view to the raising of the price of an article, but is the
approved method of getting said article into general
use and maintaining an even and increasing demand
for it — it is never undertaken with a view to increasing
the price.

Even an apparent control of the market (without
having resort to extensive advertising) does not give
the controllers power to raise their prices permanently.
The Standard (311 Company is the example most quoted
in this respect. It cannot be called a large advertiser
(of oil), but the majority of us feel as though it does
control the market; yet this same company is com-
pelled to respond to market conditions, as witness the

C. R. Kimberlin

C. R. Kimberlin, for the past 13 years associated with
his brother, L. M. Kimberlin, and their two sons, under
the firm name of the Kimberlin Seed Co. at Santa Clara,
Calif., died on March 5. Both brothers were formerly
in the seed growing business with their father, J. M.
Kimberlin. who died in 1904.

C. R. Kimberlin was born in Santa Clara 56 years
ago and leaves a widow and one son. B. S. G.

J. H. Schoning

It is with sincere regret we are called upon to chronicle
the death of J. H. Schoning who, until quite recently,
had been a valued correspondent, representing Montreal,
for The Florists' Exchange. Mr. Schoning, for sev-
eral years was gardener to the late Honorable Robert
Mackay. He had long had the desire to go into com-
mercial business and it was only quite recently that his
ambition was gratified. He finally succeeded in mak-
ing a start at 6500 Western ave., Notre Dame de Grace,
with one greenhouse. On March 3, at 7.30 a.m., his
body was found by a neighbor in the stable at the rear
of his house. It was Mr. Schoning's habit, immediately
after rising, to feed his horse. According to the doctor
who was called in it was a case of heart failure, no
inquest being necessary. Mr. Schoning leaves a wife
and three young children. He was only 36 years old.

Mr. Schoning was growing both flowers and vege-
tables and the fact that his was not an instantaneous
success seemed to worry him, although he was told that
he would surely meet with success if he stuck to his
guns. Although we had never met the gentleman person-
ally, we have always had a strong liking for him,
for_ the reason that his every letter to us breathed a
desire to do to the best of his ability. We join with his
friends in expressing regret for his untimely end and
extend our sympathy to the widow and young children.

Edward C. Dungan

A prominent figure in the American seed trade passed
away March 4, 1921, when Edward C. Dungan died
after an operation in the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital in
Philadelphia. He had suffered for years from internal
troubles and in spite of the best the doctors could do
for him finally crossed to the Great Beyond at the
early age of 58. He was general manager of the William
Henry Maule Co., in which firm he had started as a boy,
remaining there all his life except for a brief interval in
Newark, N. J., where he and another prominent seeds-

man of Detroit formed a partn^.•^^hi|l and took over the

Noll concern. After a few years Mr. Dungan disposed of
his interest there and returned to his old friend. William
Henry Maule, who was glad to have him back again.
On the death of Mr. Maule, shortly after, more responsi-
bilities were thrown on Mr. Dungan and all of these ho
stood up under admirably. Probably he worked too hard,
as all enthusiasts do when they have a great mission in
life— and a great mission the continuance of the Manic
business truly was, in order to keep it up to the high
ideals of its founder. The name of Maule, Philadelphia,
was known to cultivators the world over, but Mr. Dun-
gan, while he had much to do in making the name famous,
was always content to stay in the modest background.
His confrin-es in the seed trade finally dragged him
out of his bashful security, however, and made him presi-
dent of the American Seed Trade Association, which high
honor he greatly appreciated and graced the position with
honor and distinction. The last catalog issued by his hrin
(1921) is largely his work and shows him at his very
best mentally— even to the last of his physical reserve.
We cannot say of him as the poet did, "Full many a
flower is born to blush unseen," for in his later years
he blushed in full publicity. Neither did he "waste his
fragrance on the desert air," for all his life he was
spreading his fragrance on the desert air by helping the
world to become more beautiful and fragrant by send-
ing Maule seeds to the farthest wildernesses the world
over. He combined the poet and the keen business man
to a remarkable degree. He could enthuse when he saw
a good thing, but he was hard to sting on a business deal,
even by the most cold-blooded Shylock. In his leisure
moments he was loving and lighthearted, and when family
and society events were satisfied he would go in for
a ball game or a cricket match with equal zest. Many is
the pleasant hour we have spent with him at the old
Horticultural Hall over billiard or pool game, a ten-pin
match or a whirl at the shuffleboards. A wonderful man
in all respects and one whose fine points we hardly be-
gin to fully realize when along comes the grim reaper
and wipes him off, just when we've begun to appreciate
the wonderful development of a fine genius to its full
flowering. I have been in the seed business myself in
Europe and America for the past 45 years and have met
most of the great men in that line on both sides of the
Atlantic during the period mentioned, in one way or an-
other, and I take my hat off to Edward C. Dungan as a
great credit and a true exponent of the highest ideals
of that ancient craft. And I am sure all who knew him
will say, Amen!

The funeral services were held at his late home, 3334
North 15th St., Philadelphia, at 11 a.m. on Tuesday,
March 8. The interment was at Woodlands Cemetery.

Mrs. Richard Vincent, Jr.

The sad news has just been received by us of the death
of Mrs. Richard Vincent, Jr., who passed away at her
home at White Marsh, Md., at 1.30 on the morning of
March 8. , . ,

For a longer period than is alloted the hfetune of-most
of us, to be exact nearly 54 years, Mr. and Mrs. Vin-
cent have gone through all life's vicissitudes and
pleasures literally hand in hand together, for their close
companionship has been a sacred tie, a wonderful exposi-
tion of the working out of a congenial, happy and har-
monious married life. From the time that Mr. Vincent
was in a position to travel around and become ac-
quainted with his fellow workers, beginning with the
meeting of the S. A. F. at Providence, R. I., in 1897,
at all national society meetings and journeyings here,
and on his four European trips (1908, 1912, 1914 and
1916) Mr. Vincent's companion was his wife, and this
comradeship persisted almost to the very last, when
failing strength compelled Mrs. Vincent to remain at
home, yet right up to the Cleveland convention of August
1920, Mr. and Mrs. Vincent were together, although
the latter then was noticeably failing fast. Through
her travels here and abroad Mrs. Vincent became one
of the best known women in commercial horticultural
circles and her amiable and motherly disposition endeared
her to all.

We believe we can say that nearly all Mrs. Vincent's
days were happy days, even in the early days when her
husband was struggling valiantly for a foothold and work-
ing as a market gardener 18 to 20 hours a day. But
one of the happiest of all days must have been the
celebration of the SOth anniversary of their wedding,
which took place at their home on Dec. 26, 1917, at
which time gifts and remembrances were showered thick-
ly on them, one of the most prized being a set of
Resolutions, splendidly embossed and mounted in a gold
frame, sent to her husband and herself by a group of
English horticulturists, old friends, who, despite the
World War then waging, found time to present this
token of their appreciation of the worthy couple, re-
joicing in that they had had the honor and privilege of
their companionship in both England and America.

Mrs. Vincent was known as a great religious worker.
She was a member of Ebenezer Church, Chase, Md. ;

The late John Lewis Childs

in this connection it may be remembered that a part of
the receipts from the local Dahlia shows given by the
Vincents go to the benefit of this church. She was
a member and a good worker in the Ladies S. A. F. and
O. H. and chairman of many of its committees, never
missing a convention. At her own home at White
Marsh she has entertained for twenty years or more
many distinguished visitors from all parts of the United
States and Europe.

Mrs. Vincent's maiden name was Anne E. Merntt.
She was born May 11, 1846, in Anne Arundel Co., Md.,
and married Dec. 26, 1867, in Maryland, which State Mr.
Vincent had determined to make his home. Three sons
and one daughter, all married, and numerous grand-
children will mourn for her. Invariably the successful
man owes much to the wife through her encouragement
and her care, and this rule certainly has prevailed in the
case of Mr. Vincent, now and for long past a leader in
horticultural circles. A. T. D.

John Lewis Childs

We regret to record the death of one of the foremost
horticulturists of the country, John Lewis Childs ot
Floral Park (L. I.) N. Y., who passed away early on
Saturday morning, March 5, in a Pullman stateroom
aboard a New York Central train between Albany and
New York, on his return from a visit to his experiment
grounds at South Pasadena, Calif., after an absence of
three weeks. A friend who accompanied him on the train
on the four day trip from Los Angeles to Chicago_ re-
ported that he never saw Mr. Childs in better spirits
than he appeared to be then. On the train, Friday even-
ing, traveling from Albany to New York, he met Lt.
George Kitts, a former Floral Park boy of whom he
was fond, and talked with him during the evening. His
death was not discovered until the porter went to arouse
him upon the arrival of the train in New York Mrs
Childs and his son Lionel were at the Grand Central
station to meet him when the sorrowful news was con-
veyed to them. ,„.,

Mr. Childs was born in Jay, Me.. May \o 1856,
and from his earliest youth was interested in flowers.
At the age of 17 he came to what was then East Hins-
dale, L. I., and worked for C. L. Allen, who was then
in a partnership with V. H. Hallock & Son. Here later,
he leased a few acres of ground and began business on
his own account. At first he lived in a small room over
a grocery store, and it was here he compiled his hrst
seed catalog, containing eight pages, and of which but
six hundred copies were run off. Mr. Childs worked by
candlelight in his spare evening hours to get it up, alter
much time spent in studying the catalogs which came his

way at the time. , , ■ j » i„„.

Following this first venture, he has issued catalogs
every year for the past 46 years ; he always issued two,
one in the Spring and one in the Fall, sending out as
high as a million copies in a year; the retail catalog was
issued in January, then a Fall catalog. Often, also, a
catalog of specialties was issued in February, it was
from this humble beginning that his present enormous
seed and flower business developed.

The Florists' Exchange

I

The name of the village in which Mr. Childs first lo-
cated was changed through him from East Hinsdale to
Floral Park, and after its incorporation he served as its
first president. He later served a second term in the
same capacity. He was New York State Senator for
a number of years, and had served as president on the
Board of Education of Floral Park for twenty years.

Some years ago Mr. Childs sold most of his property
in Floral Park and purchased 800 to 900 acres at Flower-
field, L. I. The growing of Summer flowering bulbs,
such as Gladioli and Cannas, is an important specialty
here. Grain crops, such as Corn, Rye and Oats, are also
a feature. Fifteen acres are devoted to Egyptian Tree
Onions. Mr. Childs had perhaps the finest collection
of Gladioli in the country, and the Childsi strain was
known the world over. The world famous variety,
America, the first of the present race of large flowered
Gladiolus, was introduced by him in 1906.

At the present time the Childs' retail department is
situated at Floral Park, with large fireproof build-
ings and blocks of greenhouses. Here also are exten-
sive trial grounds, show gardens and parks of maiiy
acres, a constant source of interest to all interested in
flowers. At Flowerfield, L. I., 35 miles east of Floral
Park, is situated the wholesale and growing department.
At Flowerfield there is a railroad station, telegraph,
telephone, express, freight and post office, and the largest
bulb house ever constructed, ten city lots under one roof.
The business was incorporated in 1915.

Mr. Childs was the founder of the Mayflower, a month-
h' magazine devoted to floriculture, horticulture and agri-
culture, which he started in 1887; it attained a large cir-
culation, but was disposed of some few years ago, and
has since been discontinued. At one time he also pub-
lished a horticultural trade paper, but discontinued same
after it had run but a short time.

About 15 years ago Mr. Childs purchased nine acres
of ground at Pasadena, Calif., partly as an investment
and partly as a trial groimds, and on which was raised
Geranium seed, Freesias and Amar3'llis bulbs. This
place is in charge of C. H. Hovey, a descendant of the
celebrated horticulturist.

Mr. Childs was a student of ornithology all his life
and spent more than $50,000 for his fine collections of
birds, eggs, minerals, insects, etc. He added a small
museum to his residence in which to keep these collec-
tions. His collection of North American birds' eggs is
probably the finest in the country. John Burroughs, the
naturalist, was a close friend of Mr. Childs and fre-
quently visited him. At his home he also had gathered
together a fine collection of books on natural history,
many of them rare. Mr. Childs was e-xceptionally fond
of children and almost weekly visited the Home for
Crippled Children at Port Jefferson, taking great in-
terest in their welfare. Children generally called him
Uncle John. His yearly lawn parties to children at
Floral Park often included 300 or more guests.

Mr. Childs was a member of the Board of Trade and
of the Jamaica Lodge of Free Masons. He was instru-
mental in starting the Floral Park M. E. Church, of
which he was a member. He was a member of the
Sphin.x Club of New York, to which also belonged many
of our leading seedsmen; Garden City Country Club, and
the old Union League Club of Brooklyn.

The funeral, which was private, was held from his
home on Tulip ave.. Floral Park, on Tuesday, March 8,
and interment was in Greenfield Cemetery, Hempstead,

Mr. Childs is survived by his widow, Caroline Gold-
Smith ; one daughter, Mrs. John Francis Schwieters ;
three sons, Vernon G.. J. Lionel and Carleton Hath-
away; and one sister, Mrs. Walter N. Pike of Blanton,
Fla. The oldest son served in the army. None of
the sons have been actively identified with the business,
but expect to be.

Kimball C. Atwood, a well known New York busi-
ness man, has often told the writer the story of his and
Mr. Childs' early life together in the Maine village of
which they were natives. Mr. Atwood, coming to New
York first and establishing himself in a way, Mr. Childs
became insistent upon also coming to the great city, and
finally arrived by steamer, Childs and Atwood between
them carrying the trunk of the former to a boarding
house. Roaming about the countrj' shortly before this,
Mr. Atwood had been attracted by some flowers being
grown at East Hinsdale, and knowing that Mr. Childs
was interested in that line, he interviewed C. L. Allen (the
veteran seedsman) and obtained a situation with that
gentleman for his friend. Naturally, Mr. Allen was full
of reminiscences of Childs's early life. A. T. D

Unreasonable Opposition to Advertising Flowers

{Concluded from page 600)
recent lowering of prices for oil. What compelled
this? Simply the demand and supply; there is apparently
no other reason. It seems unnecessary to touch on the
fact that, through the organization of this same com-
pany, the private purchaser obtains his oil at a far lower
figure than would have been possible were our oil supply
in the hands of a great number of independent com-
panies.

Coming back to our own concern, that of advertising
flowers and plants; If the objective was to increase
the prices of flowers to the consumer, it would fall
of its own accord.

As we look at it, the intention is to instill the love
of flowers into as many buyers as can be reached, to
create more uniformity in the daily demand for flow-
ers and, in this way, and through special seasonal local
advertising, to relieve our markets in seasons of glut
whenever they occur.

It would seem patent to any close reasoner that to
raise the price of flowers because the demand was in-
creasing, would at once have the effect of destroying
the benefit brought about through the advertising. So,
more and more, as local advertising unites with national
advertising, the reward in the final instance is going
to fall to those retailers who are willing to handle all the
flowers obtainable by releasing them at an average mod-
erate profit, and not to those who raise their price in
the endeavor to profit by the demand so created.

Publicity creates the demand. The demand created
and maintained will prove steady and continuous so long
as the flowers are kept at a price within reason. Grow-
ers can well understand that they will make more money
in the long run through (1) being able to dispose of
all their stock at the various seasonal prices (which
are always governed by supply and demand), and (2)
in that they will have none of their product going into
the ash barrel as of old. The retailer w-ill reap the
most profit through catering to this steady demand at
a price which again should be based closely on the selling
price which is allowable between wholesale cost and retail
sale.

Professor Nehrling Goes to Cornell

Prof. A. H. Nehrling, after successfully handling a
growing and retail business at Crawfordsville, Ind., has
accepted a position in the Dept. of Floriculture, N. Y.
State College of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y., as Assis-
tant Professor of Floriculture. After Easter Mr. Nehr-
ling will pay a visit to his parents in Florida and then
come to Ithaca where, on April 15. he will take charge
of the commercial courses in floriculture at Cornell Uni-
versity. Mr. Nehrling was born at Freistadt, Mo., July
25, 1886. His father, Henry Nehrling, was a well known
Caladium specialist. In 1905 Mr. Nehrling won a schol-
arship at the Missouri Botanical Gardens and the Shaw
School of Botany; graduating there in 1909 his first po-
sition- was in charge of the greenhouses at the Univer-
sity of Illinois (Urbana). In 1913 he became head of
the Department of Floriculture at the Mass. Agri. Col-
lege, Amherst, resigning in 1916 to engage in commercial
\vork. The authorities at Cornell are to be congratulated
on obtaining Prof. Nehrling's services, his previous
teaching experience and his later practical experience in
growing and retailing, giving him every desirable quali-
fication for the position he has now assiuned.

International Flower Show

Just one final word to remind all concerned that
unless they make plans to visit this show between March
14 and 20 they will miss their opportunity of seeing one
of the finest exhibitions that has ever been staged.

Florists Association of Boston

Thomas Roland, President S. A. P., Honored

The Florists Association of Boston tendered a dinner
and testimonial to Thomas Roland, president of the So-
ciety of American Florists, at the Parker House, on the
evening of March 1. A large assemblage sat down to
the festive board and enjoyed an especially well se-
lected dinner. The tables were lavishly decorated with
Daffodils, Darwin Tulips and sprays of Euphorbia
jacquinsefiora, contributed by W. W. Edgar and Har-
old A. Ryan.

A beautifully arranged large centerpiece of various
Spring fiowers from Henry Penn graced the center table.
At this table, to the right and left of the honored guest,
Thomas Roland, were seated the following gentlemen :
B. F. Letson, president; Frank Gibbs, vice-president;
Frank Edgar, treasurer; Wm. J. Thurston, secretarj';
Henry Penn, F. E. Palmer, John K. M. L. Farquhar,
E. J. Welch, Elijah Gorney.

President B. F. Letson introduced Thomas Roland,
president of the S. A. F., with a few courteous and grace-
ful words and in a short address Mr. Roland gave his
hearers a history of the start, aims and present doings
of the Society of American Florists. He also touched
upon the society's plans for the future and made it evi-
dent and sincere and active cooperation between the
horticultural and floricultural societies, clubs and other
organizations is of the utmost benefit to all.

Mr. Roland pointed out how fortunately the horticul-
tural fraternitj' of Boston is situated, in having at its
free disposal, the use of such grand institutions as the
Arnold Arboretum, Horticultural Hall with its fine
library. Harvard Botanical Gardens, the Agassiz Museum
with its incomparable collection of glass flowers and many
other helpful institutions and organizations. The speaker
also had a good word to say for each of the many hor-
ticultural and fioricultural societies, clubs and organiza-
tions in Boston, and he praised especially the good work
and activity of the Gardeners and Florists Club, upon
whose roll of members many prominent and excellent
names are to be fpund.

John K. M. L. Farquhar, president of the N. E. Nur-
was the next speaker. He gave a vivid word picture
of conditions in the Old World eardens of France and
England at the time of his visit there last Sxunmer.

F. E. Palmer made each one present proud of being
a florist when he dilated upon the physical and mental
benefits which are connected with the florists or garden-
ers profession.

President B. F. Letson later made a few general re-
marks upon impressions gained during his visits to green-
houses and florist stores.

A telegram of regret was received during the evening
from Albert C. Burrage, president of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society. Mr. Burrage is sojourning in
California at present.

The remainder of the evening was devoted to a musi-
cal program and cabaret performance ; these were of
a high order and greatly enjoyed by the audience.

Prior to the dinner the monthly meeting of the asso-
ciation was held, there being 52 members present when
President B. F. Letson opened the proceedings. The
meeting was of short duration.

It was voted to hold the meetings from now on every
second Tuesday' of the month. Two new members were
proposed.

A communipation from, the Gardeners and Florists
Club of Boston was read. The Club w-ishes to secure
the cooperation of the Boston Florists Association in
the matter of a joint banquet and testimonial in honor
of the tliree national presidents, Thomas Roland, W. J.
Howard and Wm. N. Craig. The chair appointed a
committee, consisting of Herman Bartsch, Frank Gibbs
and Harold A. Ryan, to take charge of the matter.

New England Gladiolus Show

Schedule Out for Big Event in August, 1921

The second annual exhibition of the New England
Gladiolus Society will be held, in conjunction with the
Gladiolus E.xhibition of the Mass. Hort. Society, at
Horticultural Hall, Boston, Mass., on Aug. 13 and 14,
1921. The schedule is now ready and copies may be
obtained from Secretary Robt. R. Walker, Mansfield,
Mass. This eight-page pamphlet, recalling the notable
success of last year's exhibition which, it says, "passed
into historj' as probably the greatest exhibition of Glad-
ioli ever staged anywhere," gives promise of an even
finer display this year. It lists 40 classes open to all
and 12 classes open only to amateurs growing less than
2000 bulbs. It also notes 28 open classes and six ama-
teur classes in which- prizes are offered by the Mass.
Hort. Societj', these appearing also in the schedule of
that organization.

As a special feature it is announced that H. E.
Meader, president of the American Gladiolus Society
will lecture on Gladiolus culture at three o'clock each
day of the exhibition.

The Grower's Corner

Chrysanthemums

The main batch of Chrj'santhemum cuttings of all
exhibition varieties should be inserted without delay.
Care should be taken not to use any stem cuttings if
possible, as they will often throw premature flower buds
and make very poor growth. In selecting the growths,
those that are starting from the roots, if taken when <
about four inches high will make the healthiest stock.
If they are then kept at about 60 deg. and well shaded
from the raj's of the sun they will root rapidly. Cut-
tings should not be left in the bed too long or they will
become hard and refuse to grow freely.

Below is a list of the leading exhibition varieties:
Red— Philip Ricci, Mrs. David Lloyd George, C. H. |

Totty and Mrs. G. G. Mason. j

White — Katherine Twigg, Joan of Arc, Louisa Pockett

and Wm. Turner. !

Yellow— Yellow Pockett, Corp. J. F. Piper, Bob Pull- ;

ing, Mrs. Pulling, Mrs. G. Lloyd Wigg, Yellow Turner '

and F. S. Vallis.
Bronze — Miss Ruth Twombly, Glenartney, Nagirroc,

Pres. John Everitt and Rose Pockett.
Pink— W. Waite, Mrs. J. Leslie Davis; Vermont, El-

beron. Lady Hopetoun, Meudon, Mrs. T. Gibson and

Cooperative and Standard Practice Service

Leading to the Unification of Nursery Interests
Nurserymen will consult their own beat and immediate interests by joining up with the I. S. N. A.
in the undertaking which this progressive association has just launched. Unanimity in this direc-
tion will put the nursery business on a wonderfully improved plane.

' The Illinois State Nurserymen's Association at its
^ meeting in February last received a report from its Com-
mittee on Cooperative and Standard Practice Service
which, after full discussion, was adopted.

The Proloftue Says This:

[ ' "Members of the Illinois State Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation, as individuals and bueiness men interested in the
nursery business, are alive to the importance of active
and constructive cooperation on problems affecting the
prosperity and service of tlie nursery industry, and the
Associatiun, recognizing the responsibility and opportunity
for constructive work in tlie definition of principles and
standardization of business methods and practices look-
ing toward improvements, stabilization and maintenance
of a high standard of service in the nursery business,
should undertake to develop such a service for its in-
dividual members and for the organization as a whole,
as will bring about the benefits which accrue to business
through the adoption of such constructive methods.

"The committee believes that there is a real oppor-
tunity for service to the individual nurseryman, as well
as the nm-sery business as a -whole, in the development
and establislmient of practical, standardized methods and
cooperative action, including such matters as the de-
velopment of uniform accounting practices, aiding the
individual nurseryman in obtaining costs of his product for
administrative and income tax purposes, for cost compari-
son and price analysis, the standardization of grades
of nursery stock, the development of close relationship
as to purchasing and marketing, comparison of produc-
tion and sales, and general standardization of business
practices in line with modern tendencies, all of which will
aid in stabilizing and in enlarging the service of the
nursery business."

C!osts of^the Service

Through the adoption of the committee's report, the
Illinois State Nurserymen's Association has arranged
that its members in good standing will receive, without
additional charge, copies of reports and plans on any
of the phases of the work undertaken, but they will not
be entitled to periodic reports and special consulting
service unless they voluntarily agree to contribute
to this work. The special consulting service to
be given any contributing member during any one
year, will not exceed one hour for each $4 contributed;
additional consulting service to be furnished at regu-
lar rates. Necessary traveling and other expenses will
have to be defrayed by each member.

The I. S. N. A. will pay a retainer of $300 to the
business engineers engaged, and will receive the an-
nual amounts collected from contributing members, but
the individual members will deal directly with the con-
cern selected to do the work. To carry on this serv-
ice, a contributing member agrees to pay annually for five
years a sum equal to one-tenth of one per cent of the total

annual sales of his concern, provided that the minimum'
contribution shall not be less than $20 and the maxi-
mum not greater than $80.

Scope of the Technical and Detail Work

To be covered by the business engineers is expressed
as follows:

1. Study of the general conditions and practices in the
nursery business among members of the Illinois State Nur-
serymen's Association.

2. Development of a uniform and simple plan of cost
accounting adapted to the needs of the nursery busi-
ness.

3. Development of a plan for periodic cost compari-
son, price analysis and comparison of production and
sales.

4. Development of a plan for the standardization of
grades of nursery stock.

5. Development of a plan for close relationship of nur-
sery concerns on purchasing and marketing.

6. Report on standardization of business methods and
practices in nursery business.

Procedure in the Collection of Statistics

1. Begin study on the development of standard meth-
ods and practices by the preparation of outline question-
naire covering organization, accounting, production, sales,
etc., in nursery business.

2. Send questionnaire to all members of the I. S. N. A.
and to other representative nursery concerns cooperating
in the work.

3. Make examination of organization, accounting plans,
and other practices in a number of leading nurseries by
personal visits or conferences in or near Chicago.

4. Make analysis of information obtained and compare
same with methods and best practices in other business
organizations.

5. Confer with the committee on the general account-
ing plan and detail to be covered,

6. Prepare draft of report on general conditions and
practices in the nursery business and develop a uniform
and simple plan of cost accounting adapted to the needs
of the nursery business.

7. Submit these to the committee for consideration and
action and send adopted rejjort with forms and procedure
to all members of the association.

S. Furnish special consulting service to contributing mem-
bers on the installation and use of the standard account-
ing plan.

9. Develop plan and forms and organize the practice of
having the members submit regular reports to J. L.
Jacobs & Co. of Chicago on costs, production, and sales.

10. Develop plan for periodic comparison of costs of
products and comparison of sales and production and
furnish contributing members with periodic reports in con-
nection with same.

11. Develop plana for the standardization of grades,
for close cooperation of nursery conccrn.s on purchasing
and marketing and on standardization of business meth-
ods and practices, proceeding in the installation of same
in the same nuiuner as for the standard cost accounting
plan.

General Review of the Project

The members of the I S. N. A. have agreed that the
service and experiences gathered by the engineering con-
cern with whom they have made the contract will be
open to all nurserymen wherever they may be in busi-
ness, the proviso being that they become members of
the I. S. N. A., the first year's dues being $10 and there-
after $5.

So far as our knowledge extends, this is the first prac-
tical step taken by any nursery or florists' organization
in the endeavor to ascertain costs and overhead and all
the other matters of detail which come under that classi-
fication. Much depends, of course, on the ability and per-
sistency of the firm of consulting engineers with whom
the contract has been made, but far more depends on
the attitude of the members themselves. Certain it is
that had the nurserymen of the country been maintain-
ing a system of cost finding the past twenty years, or
even he past few years through the World War dis-
arrangement, every one of its members would know
today just how and where he stood. The figures which
are sought, and which can be obtained only through the
active cooperation of quite a number of nurserymen
throughout the country, so that comparisons and averages
can be struck, will prove of inestimable value to every
cooperator. When the system is perfected it will enable
a nurseryman to sell his output at a profit because it will
give him his costs with absolute accuracy. Such a system
is a wonderful aid and stimulus to any business, and
should the nurserymen of the country realize its full
benefit, they will bless the day when the Illinois State
Nurserymen's Association inaugurated it. This system it
will not be possible to put over in a day, a month or
even a year. In a number of other lines it has taken
several years and much patient and persevering investi-
gation before the end was attained.

The writer understands full well the wonderful value
of the system which it is proposed to inaugurate among
the nurserymen, and advocates, with all his heart, its
general adoption. Failures may come and discourage-
ments ensue, but to those who stand to their guns, re-
sults will be worth every expense and setback incurred
on the way.

The adoption of this system, followed later by the
services of an expert accountant (the two things are
not synonymous, although they dovetail) will secure the
nurser3Tnan from every undue risk, help establish his
business firmly, and place him in good standing with
his bank, for he will always be in a position to make
an absolutely perfect financial statement — one that will
command respect, and give him bank credit when it is
needed.

J. A. Young, as secretary of the I. S. N. A., with
address at Aurora, III., will gladly furnish any further
information desired. For trade benefit we do hope to
hear of great interest in what is certainly one of the
best moves ever undertaken by associated nurserymen.

Kurume Azaleas

In these days anything in the nature of an Azalea at-
tracts attention. True, the botanical people are apt to
argue that "there ain't no such thing" being, as they are,
all Rhododendrons, but not being inclined to split hairs,
we were both pleased and interested to receive from
J. D. Eisele of Henry A. Dreer, a package containing a
number of small sprays of Kurume Azaleas.

Coming from its Riverton (N. J.) range, the pack-
age naturally bore the certificate relating to the Japanese
beetle, in addition to the usual San Jose scale im-
munity label. Consequently, we were able to open the
boxes without fear, either for ourselves or the safety
of the staff. We may say that Dreers' are adepts at
packing. In the past we have seen stock packed by
them turn out fresher after a nearly 3000 mile journey
than some that had spent less than two days in the
mails.

The examples of Kurume Azaleas were each in the
form of a small flowering shoot, legibly labeled, and
wrapped in damp moss and waxed paper. Considering
the shaking up they had received and the fragility of
the flowers, all came up in recognizable shape. A little
gum in the blooms, as is used by shippers of cut Azaleas
and Geraniums, would have prevented the dropping of the
flowers which, in some varieties, is apparently more
pronounced than in others.

Mr. Eisele sees great possibilities in this type of
Azalea because of the freedom and exquisite range of
colors. They require the same treatment as Hinodigiri
and, being distinct, do not conflict with the indica or
mollis types.

It is, of course, ow recognized that the Kurume

Azaleas are not strictly a new type, although not known
in this country until 1915. The Kurume Azalea belongs
to the obtusa group and embraces amoena and Hino-
digiri forms that have long been grown in Europe and,
to no little extent, for rock garden planting in the
south of England. Just how hardy they are is not fully
proved ; that they a,re as hardy as amoena is certain,
and we believe numbers of them are grown in the open
in Europe. It is said that there are even finer types
than those now grown in this country but, in the mean-
time, we can scarcely conceive anything more delightful
than these Kurumes of which there are many varieties.
The collection before us embraces the following:
Peach Blossoms, soft pink; Salmon Beauty, salmon
pink, semi-double; Apple Blossoms, true Apple blossom
color; Kurume Snow, pure white; Cherry Blossoms,
soft pink, extra large flower and holds well; Pink
Pearl, deep pink ; Daphne, palest blush ; Christmas
Cheer, rich rose approadiing crimson; and Flame, scar-
let tinged orange. AH, save the white, showed spots
of deeper color on the lower petal. The last named has
flowers nearly 2in. in diameter, the others ranging
slightly smaller. The flower trusses in each instance are
surrounded with small bright green foliage and, if like
Hinodigiri, these varieties will flower from rooted cut-
tings up to tree size. They should prove of great
value to the florist.

of Ohio in the N. F, G. Ass'n was held Thursday after-
noon, March 3, at the Hotel Deshler, Columbus, O.

The meeting was in charge of the temporary officers,
elected at the Cleveland meeting last November. Colum-
bus growers were well represented with a few from
various parts of the State. It was a 100 per cent meet-
ing from the standpoint that everyone present joined
the association, after hearing the plan for it thoroughly
explained to them by the men from Cleveland. All pres-
ent took application blanks with them and promised to
get some of their neighbors as members.

There will be several other meetings held in various
sections of the State, including Youngstown, Toledo,
Springfield, Dayton and Cincinnati soon after Easter.
All flower growers in each of these sections will be
invited to attend these meetings for the purpose of
learning what this new association of growers will mean
to them and why it is to their advantage to become
members of it as soon as possible.

The committee from Cleveland was composed of Carl
Hagenberger, Mentor, temporary president; F. C. W.
Brown, vice-president ; George Bate, temporary secre-
tary and treasurer; Lars Anderson, director, and M, A.
Vinson, who is assisting in the organization work.

T. J. Ludwig of Columbus made all the local arrange-
ments for the meeting.

having a peculiar flavor relished more in Canada than
in the United States, although the demand lor them
here in making jellies and jams is steadily mcreasmg

Currants are propagated by cuttmgs or layers, sal-
able plants resulting at the end of the first season,
although a two year growth is best for plantmg, as it
has the size and is still young enough for the roots to
take hold quickly. Spring planting may be followed it
early enough, but quite often the buds have begun to
swell and growth for the season is somewhat checked;
so in all cases Fall planting is to be recommended, plac-
ing the plant a little deeper than it stood in the nursery
row'.

In making cuttings the new wood should be taken
about Sept. 1, cut into lengths of seven or eight inches
tied in bunches and placed upside down and covered
with about three inches of sand ; or they may be planted
at once in the nursery row, this Fall planting usually
resulting in a better stand. A groove or furrow with
one straight side is made and the cuttings placed four
to si.x inches apart and to a depth of not less than three-
quarters the length of the cutting. One good eye or
bud is enough to leave above the ground. To prevent
pulling up bv action of the frost in Winter they should
be mulched heavilv with straw or strawy manure just
as soon as cold weather sets in. This covering is, of
course, removed in the Spring.

The Currant requires a cool, rich, moist, well drained
soil, quite often a good application of manure and com-
mercial fertilizer being necessarj' to furnish the required
food. We find the best distance for planting is about
five feet apart in si.x foot rows. This allows ample
room for cultivation which should be begun early in the
growing season, a good dust mulch to be maintained
to hold plenty of moisture throughout the Summer. As
the plants become older care must be taken not to in-
jure the roots, which grow ver>- near the surface. The
currant will respond to fertilizer perhaps more quickly
than any other fruit, and throughout the fruiting life
it will be well to make frequent applications of manure
with an addition of commercial phosphate and potash.

Pruning; The red and white Currants bear their
fruit on three- or four-year-old wood so, in pruning,
which is best done, during the dormant season, only
wood of over three years' growth should be removed.
However, the black varieties bear only on wood of the
previous 'season's growth, thus it is necessary to cut out
all old wood so as to throw all the vitality into the pro-
ducing canes.

Enemies

Occasionallv the new growth of Currants becomes
infected with' plant lice which may be very easily con-
trolled with a thorough application of kerosene emul-
sion, or Black Leaf 40. The two principal pests are the
currant worm and the oyster shell scale. The former
mav entirely defoliate the bush in a very short time,
but may be'controlled by a timely application of Helle-
bore or arsenate of lead. The oyster shell scale may be
completely eradicated with a Summer application of
miscible oil or a dormant spray of lime and sulphur.
Leaf spot or anthracnose, if troublesome, may be con-
trolled by repeated sprays of Bordeaux mi.xture.

Best Commercial Varieties

Red varieties that may safely be recommended to the
customer are: Red Cross; London Market, its mild,
large size berries and productiveness make it one of the
best for either the home garden or for larger plantings ;
Cherry is another commendable large fruited variety;
Perfection and Fay's Prolific are about the largest
fruited varieties of commercial importance, the former
being one of those varieties with a flavor mild enough
to be relished when eaten from the hand; North Star,
Pomona and Red Dutch are smaller berried varieties
worthy of mention.

Of the black varieties Black Naples and Booskoop
Giant are the most popular, the latter having a strong
cane growth.

White Grape is a universal favorite among the
whites and is quite suitable for eating in the raw state.

President W. J. Hembreiker's Address

Another prosperous year has passed since we met in
a body, but two years have elapsed since we gathered at
Urbana and looked over the Experimental Station of
Illinois. I fear we all do not realize nor appreciate the
work here as much as we ought to. How many of us
have in the past come to the station and heard the re-
ports on the different experiments? If we would give
this our careful consideration and work according to
the findings of the station, many of us perhaps would
be financially better able to take care of our obligations
and feel a little more independent

It is pleasing to know an addition is to be built, which
will give the managers better and larger facilities for
making further progress. A short time ago our com-
mittee was called to Urbana to meet with the committee
of different branches of the institution in order to dis-
cuss the question of more finance. Few are aware that
the University has existed on the same allowance dur-
ing and since the war, as in pre-war times. Can we ex-
pect this grand State institution here to exist on pre-
war allowances, let alone expect a forsvard step? I am
glad to report that the committee recommended a lib-
eral increase in the allowance and I have since seen it
stated that our Governor will back our institution in
order to make it the best in the country.

Urges a Fall Flower Show

It is almost four years since we have had a State
Flower Show. During the war period, there was a
scarcity of coal and flowers and it was not feasible to
hold a show, and last year I was advised by some of
the larger growers to lay off another year. My opinion
now is that we should not let another Fall pass away
without a good State flower show. Nothing keeps up
the pep and interest better than getting together and
exchanging ideas, but it takes a flower show to attract
our brother florists together in a large and representa-
tive body.
The BenefiU of Organization

In our industry, time is bringing rapid changes; ob-
serve the wonderful growth of the F. T, D. and the
work it is doing. The new Growers Association will
be the foundation of setting a real value on flowers; it
will get us away from the idea that flowers should be
held at a fabulous price today and offered at a dis-
couraging price a few weeks later. Organization will
bring it about and we cannot bring it about any too
soon. Are not the most successful men in business al-
ways in the first rank of organized bodies?

Appeals for Future Support

At our last meeting in Chicago, Fred Ammann was
elected secretary, but on account of having the secre-
taryship of the National Flower Growers' Association,
he was obliged to hand in his resignation. A. T. Hey
of Maywood was then appointed secretary to fill the
unexpired term and right well he has done. Regarding
dues, no organization can stand without proper finan-
cial support, so do not blame your secretary if he
handles delinquent members a little roughly. I ask all
brother florists to help the new ofiicers of the coming
vear and get new members to swell our ranks. In con-
clusion, I will again impress on you all to get together
and work for a good flower show for next Fall. We
are now at the doors of pre-war times, with every foot
of greenhouses again working to fullest capacity.

Illinois State Florists Association

The 16th Annual Convention of this body at Cham-
paign, 111., March 8 and 9, was a pronounced success,
with an attendance of one hundred, the best in years.

The officers elected were as follows : President, Joseph
Kohout, Libertyville, 111. ; vice-president, Geo. J. Jacobs ;
secretary, Albert T. Hey, Maywood, III. ; treasurer, F. L.
Washburn, Bloomington, 111.

Many important papers were read during the two
days and considerable satisfaction is manifest over re-
sults accomplished.

By Special Wire

Its sixteenth annual convention goes on record as hav-
ing been the best attended in its history. The delegates
from Chicago numbered about 35, without coymting the
ladies in the party, some thirty representatives from
other sections of the State together with attendants from
■s-arious other sections brought the entire number of vis-
itors close to the one hundred mark. The Chicago train
was met by Prof. H. B. Dorner and W. J. Hembreiker,
who had provided arrangements to hold them for two
days. Dinner was served in the restaurant of the Uni-
versity, after which the business meeting opened with
the usual preliminaries of receiving officers' reports, etc.,
which was followed by the address of J. F. Ammann
on "The Flower Growers' Association, Its Aims and
Objects." At the close of the address several mem-
bers were added to this national organization.

J. E. PoUworth of Chicago delivered an address on
"The Golden Rule of Wholesale Cut Flower Distribu-
tion," springing several surprises and new practices in
the commission wholesaling of cut flowers and the stand-
ardization of Roses by length of stem, giving plans for
complete statistics of value to the grower and whole-
saler as well. He made a strong plea for the support of
the State Florists' E.xperiment Station, and for the Chi-
cago growers to engage in more research work so as
to keep them in closer union with the work of the ex-
periment station.

One of the students read a well prepared essay on
the advantages of a scientific training in floriculture, and
impressed in his favor some of the "Old School ex-
perience" and its value in connection with a college
training in floriculture. (Printed on page 579.) Dr.
Lehnbaur gave report of practical solutions on what our
fertilizer studies have taught us. The questioning that
followed was evidence of the approval of his work. His
clear thought and plain description of fertilizer ex-
periments undoubtedly enlightened the skeptics of com-
mercial fertilizer value.

Jos. Kohout, on motion of J. F. Ammann, was unani-
mously chosen president, another distinction added for
the success of his work in connection with this meet-
ing and the construction attainments of other organiza-
tions.

The evening session opened promptly with the showing
of "A Wonderland Under Glass," by the .\merican
Greenhouse Mfg. Co. Penn the Florist of Boston ex-
hibited stereopticon view's of copies of his local publicity
work. A playlet by the students of the school, "The
Flower Shop," was a grand surprise and made a great
hit with the audience.

The Floriculture Glee Club, playing string instruments,
received their share of applause. The evening closed
with a Pop Com ball feast. A large stay-over party
was announced for the open forum to be held in the ex-
perimental greenhouse station Wednesday. Prof. J. C.
Blair gave a report on the work of the fioricultural de-
partment and of the difficulty encountered in obtaining
a sufficient appropriation to properly conduct the work.

A Sidelight on the Coal Question

How One Grower Was Squeezed

Two years ago we were advised bj" our coal dealer
and others not to lay in a large stock of coal, as later
on in the Fall and Winter, coal would be more plentiful
and much cheaper. Our coal dealer promised that he
would take care of us and see that we did not suffer,
but circumstances, including a strike and the inability' of
the railroad company to supply the cars, brought us near
perishing point, with only two days' supply of coal during
the cold spell of February. We were saved, only by the-
kindness of a brick company loaning us a few carloads of
coal.

Last Summer, we made up our minds to get in a partial
supply of 1000 tons and store same. We began in June
getting in a few carloads a week, as with labor shortage,
we could not handle it continuously.

During the months of June and July, we paid $11.50
per ton at the mines and $2.45 freight: after Aug. 1 we
paid $8.50 to $9.50 per ton and $3.42 freight. This coal
cost us $1 per ton to move from cars to our coal bins.
During Januarj' this year, we paid $3 per ton at the
mines and $3.42 freight. We have since been offered
coal, quality guaranteed, for $2 per ton, some could have
been bought for less.

We feel that through our stored coal, we were prac-
tically robbed by the profiteers of at least $7,000, yet
how could it be avoided? We did not know coal would
come down, and no one could foresee what has since
happened through the calling down of the coal barons.

A Worthy Amateur Activity

A tj'pe of amateur horticultural activity which de-
serves the interested consideration and support of trade
interests is the Western New York Fioricultural So-
ciety, organized in March 1920 at Rochester. This is
affiliated with the New York State Federation of Hor-
ticultural Societies and Floral Clubs and is cooperating
with the Department of Floriculture of the State Col-
lege of Agriculture and the Flower Citj- Committee
of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce. Its objects
are to foster, stimulate and increase in every possible
way the general interest in the cultivation of flowers
and plants in Western New York.

With noticeable energy and ambition the first meeting
of this organization, secured F. N. Pierson as its principal
speaker, and after hearing him deliver an address on hor-
ticultural advancement, the societj' adopted a resolution
calling for the modification of Qu. Z7 which it presented
to the Federal Horticultural Board. It is now proposed
to invite J. Lockie Wilson of the Horticul-
tural Society Division of the Ontario Depart-
ment of Horticulture to address the next meet-
ing on the subject of Canadian policies as to the support
of amateur societies. The officers of this society are
Pres. Henry W. Martens, Rochester, and Secretary
Schuyler Arnold, Coldwater. Its list of directors include
several names prominent in fioricultural circles, while its
patrons number such prominent individuals as Dr. L. H.
Bailey of Ithaca ; Dr. W. H. Jordan, Geneva ; T. A.
Havemeyer, Glen Head; the late John L. Childs, Floral
Park; Anton Schultheis, College Point; F. R, Pierson
of Tarrj'town, and others.

Tea Garden to Aid Social Service Bureau IHiS^^'^^

^^1

The Tea G:ir(lcn feature nl llic International Flower
Show which, in past years has so generously aided the
Red Cross, the .Mlied War Kelief ;uid other humani-
tarian movements, is to continue its good work this
season by raising money for the Social Service Bureau
to be used for convalescent relief work. .*\s an illustra-
tion of what this means it may be said that the Social
Service Bureau of Bellevue Hospital alone "handles
1000 cass of convalescent relief per month." Hundreds
of cases suffering from weak hearts are saved by its
care during the convalescent period. During the past
six months some 700 children's deformed mouths have
been reconstructed by dental care at critical stages ; and
border-line insanity cases have been successfully treated
in to the extent of 71 per per cent by the Service Bureau
workers. This year, in other words, the efforts of those
in charge of the Tea Garden are to be directed in behalf
of the needy and suffering right here at home.

In addition to special social features, tea, coffee, sand-
wiches and cake, donated by several of the leading
New York City hotels and by the New York Edison
Home Economic n<— "-tmprt — ;n be served each after-

It is reported that oil experts are
drilling for oil on the seed farms of J.
Badger & Sons Co., Los Angeles, Cal.
Assuming that oil is located, we are of
the opinion that J. Badger & Sons Co.
will make more money at drilling than
'plowing.

For the Buttonhole

One of the pleasing features at the
Morris County (N. J.) Gardenei-s Asso-
ciation dinner recently was that at each
plate lay a Carnation. No one required
telling why; moreover no one appeared to
hare a coat that lacked the necessary hole
to carry a flower.

. Roses Going Strong in England

At the annual mesting of the Na-
.tional Eo.se Society it was stated that
1092 new members were added during
1920, a record. Owing to the high cost
of printing and stationery, this society's
expenditure slightly exceeded its income
for the first time. It is not intended to
raise the diles, however.

Pntty Profiteering

The extension service of New Jer-
sey agriculture apparently hag it in for
manufacturers of putty. We read that a
saving of 3c. a pound on putty, by making
it at home, means a lot to farmers ( ? ) who
use hundreds of pounds on greenhouses.
The recipe given is supposed to work out
at 7c. a lb., against the commercial price
of lOc, 'and what is more important, the
latter is usually of poorer quality." The
latter statement is pretty sweeping, but
what tickles me is the reference to farm-

I-.rs. It would seem thrt i. j.ny people
iJ|nnot get it out of their heads that green-
i!l_ise workers are not farmers.

.'\t Washington recently Mr. Sim explained his sys-
tem of culture, and he made it apparent that he scrapes
off the surface soil, replacing it with three inches of
manure. Mr. Sim has, we think, been growing Carna-
tions on the solid beds bul two or three years, but if
he continues to handle them so, it will never be pos-
sible to say that the original soil is wholly removed.
We are ready to admit that Mr. Sim's methods, which
work well on his sandy soil, will not answer every
where, but as the note on page 135S was not meant to
be cultural, we do not see why it requires qualification.
Mr. Sim is so ready to tell any one all he knows that
it appears almost superfluous for us to attempt to add
anything further.

Fritz Bahr's Philosophy

Changed without consent or knowledge of Fritz Bahr
from the previous heading "These pointers are for the
benefit of the grower, with best wishes of Fritz Bahr."

Because these sayings of his have developed into real
philosophical expressions of great merit.

This, as will be noted, was put out by the Allied Florists Asso-
ciation of Illinois, and appeared 3 cols, wide, lOin. deep. It was
a noticeable ad, assisted considerably as to its effectiveness by
the greenhouses shown and its floral border; the wording was
such as to assure customers they would meet with fair prices
in the flower shops.

Carnations on Old Soil

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

We believe the purpose of The Florists' Exchange
is to help the average grower in successful pursuit of
his calling, whether he is growing Sweet Peas, Car-
nations, Roses or vegetables, but in the article on page
1355, Dec. 25, in reference to William Sim, Cliftondale,
Mass., you state that Mr. Sim has been growing Car-
nations successfully in the same soil or, in other words,
growing Carnations in solid beds and in soil that has
never been changed since the world was first made.

Any sensible grower of Carnations or anything else
kiiows that this is not practical. A farmer will not
think of growing the same crops in the same soil year
after year. There is evidently something back of Mr.
Sim's methods. He either replenishes again the top
soil or the bottom soil and uses plenty of stable manure.
or fertilizer of some kind. This explanation should
have been given to avoid leading the small grower of
Carnation plants to copy his method of growing in the
same soil year after year which you know would not be
successful.

Since reading the article referred to we have heard
something about the Sim method which is not according
to the article above mentioned.

We are not writing this in the spirit of criticism, as

Destructive Hailstorm Near
Chicago

Oae of the "u-orst hailstorms that has
ever been witnessed took place Monday
evening^ ilarch 7, causing damage to
greenhouse property in surburban towns
west of Chicago to the extent of $50,000.
Bassett & Washburnj who suffered the
biggest loss, report that approximately
100,000 sq. ft. of glass, or about one-fourth
of their entire acreage imder glass, has
been destroyed and estimated the loss at
about §40,000.

The greenhouses of Vaughan's Seed
-Store, at Western Springs suffered a loss
of about §500. Other growers in the vicin-
ity of Downer's Grove and Hinsdale also
report considerable loss of glass.

Mr. Washburn of Bassett & Washburn
states it was the worst hailstorm he has
ever witnessed, the hailstones varying in
r size from a walnut to an egg. After the
storm had subsided, the greenhouses look-
ed as if someone had thrown bricks
through them and every available ma-
terial, blankets, etc., were used to cover
the damaged houses so as to protect the
plants, etc., from the cold weather that is
reported to be on the way according to
the Weather Bureau.

Portland, Ore.

Crawfordsville, Ind.

The McDonald Floral Co.'s retail shop
at 126 West Main st. and the greenhouses
on West Wabash ave., have been pur-
chased by A. P. Morris and C. W. Jack,
owners of the Morris & Jack Lettuce farm.
Members of the new firm are well known
in Crawfordsville and both have a practi-
cal and scientific experience in plant
culture which will be of value in their
new enterprise. Mr. Jack is a graduate
of Indiana University; he was a teacher
of science and agriculture in the Craw-
fordsville High school, and had supervision
of garden work here imder the direction of
Purdue University. For the past three
years he has had charge of the seed,
fertilizer and insecticide department of
the Crabbs, Reynolds, Taylor Co. Mr.
Morris was recently chosen vice-president
of the Vegetable Growers Ass'n of In-
diana. Since 1907 he has been manager of
the Lettuce farm.

Trade Notes

March 3. — March so far has come
in like a lamb, and with Easter at the
end will doubtless, go out like a lion.
Business for the past week has been fairly
steady so that little stock is accumulating.
The bright weather is bringing the crop of
cut flowers on very rapidly and stock is
improving greatly. Koses especiallj', are
showing the effects of the longer days
which, we can say with pleasure, are some-
what brighter. We are getting a little
sunshine now and then. Violets are now
plentiful and, if the growers can be in-
duced to make a real bunch, they ought
to sell. Pansies are also on the regular
list. Daffodils are in full bloom outside
so that they are overlapping some of the
inside grown stock. Quality is still bring-
ing the price. Freesias still come in free-
' ly and the demand keeps up with the sup-
ply. Cut Tulips and Hyacinths are find-
ing their way into many a Spring basket
and table decoration. Prunus Pissardii is
in bloom outdoors, and lends itself well
to the above mentioned work.

The list of potted plants is complete
with the addition of the Hydrangea and
Rhododendron. Ferns are moving well
but the demand for palms in small sizes
for home use is hardly worth mentioning.
In fact, there is hardly enough demand for
this kind of stock to keep a supply on
hand. Even the Rubber tree, so popular
some years ago, is not enjoying the de-
mand it should. All kinds of blooming
plants on the other hand, sell at sight, and
each year sees an increase sale on this
kind of stock. The potted Daffodil has
come in for a good many complaints ow-
ing to its poor keeping quality; in some
cases being outlasted by cut stock. The
trouble lays with the grower or retailer
who allows the stock to get too ripe before
sending it out.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Till' |K'rmit for the importation of
Rhodixinulron stockn mtiy look good for
the next generation, but it doesn't help
tliost' wlio would like to plant flowering
size Khodos.

A few more years will have to roll by
before spceimens, worthy of the name,
will be available.

Then, again, it must not be assumed
that every would-bc propagator is going
to sucfi'fd; it is too mucli to expect, be-
cause tliL'se plants will not flourish on all
soils, espeeially in the young state. (Pres-
ent indications are that but few will avail
themselves of the permission to import;
the risk of failure being the apparent
cause) . As to those who can produce
them, will they feel inclined to sell small
stock for growing on? Maybe they will
prefer not to, while the going is good.

Oil

It is reported that oil experts are
drilling for oil on the seed farms of J.
Badger & Sons Co.j Los Angeles, Cal.
Assuming that oil is located, we are of
the opinion that J. Badger & Sons Co.
will make more money at drilling than
plowing.

Tor the Buttonhole

] One of the pleasing features at the

Morris County (N. J.) Gardeners Asso-
ciation dinner recently was that at each

, plate lay a Carnation. No one required
telling why; moreover no one appeared to

^ have a coat that lacked the necessary hole

■ to carry a flower.

[ , Roses Going; Strong in England

j I At the annual meating of the Na-

1 1 tional Kose Society it was stated that
I 1092 new members were added during
' 1920, a record. Owing to the high cost
of printing and stationery, this society's
i expenditure slightly exceeded its income
; for the first time. It is not intended to
I raise the diies, however.

I' Putty Profiteering

I The extension service of New Jer-

> sey agriculture apparently has it in for
manufacturers of putty. We read that a
saving of 3c. a pound on putty, by making
it at home, means a lot to farmers ( ?) who
use hundreds of pounds on greenhouses.
The recipe given is supposed to wOrk out
^r 1^' ^i}^' ^Sainst the commercial price
of lOc, and what is more important, the
latter is usually of poorer quality." The
latter statement is pretty sweeping, but
what tickles me is the reference to farm-
ers. It would seem thrt i. any people
cannot get it out of their heads that green-
' house workers are not farmers.

What is Your Name?

A New York paper refers to the fact
that on Sixth ave. there is a furrier
whose name is Furman, and on Park ave.
a glazier named G-lassman, which reminds
us that somewhere near Newark, N. J ,
we have observed a signboard bearing
the words. Cutter, Tree Expert.

The Effect of Music

. A Cedar Grove, N. J., poultryman hav-
ing heard that music made hens lay, en-
ga-ged a man to play a violin in the hen-
yard. Unfortunately the concert came to
a sudden end through a string breaking.
1 he hens, it is said, produced a greater
number of eggs than usual the following
day but, all of them were cracked, due.
It is assumed to shock caused by the
broken violin string.

The story reminds us of one we read
as a boy. It was to the effect that a
man. having learned that music hastened
plant growth, bought a basoon and sat
m his garden serenading his Beans.

It seemed that the neighbors grew mad
about the dirge of the basoon and started
shymg brickbats, and so brought about
a cessation of the experiment.

This writer has, however, a recollection
of music's effect on seeds. It was the
year W. A. Burpee & Co., sent out Navy
iilue Sweet Pea. I planted the seeds
with infinite care, but that night, all the
telinesof the town staged a "tomcatcuss"
band in my yard and next morning I
found all my seeds were well np.

So was I, right up the pole, and just
about that time, many cats were myster-
iously missing, including our own family
Moggy.

Packing Carnation*

Speaking at Philadelphia recently, C. S.
Strout, of Biddcford, referred to an im-
proved method of packing Carnations he
had observed in New York. The flowers
wore packed in layers in shallow card-
boaid boxes which, in turn, were packed
in wood cases. He noted that the flowers
80 packed commanded 20 per cent better
prices than the average stock.

When a practical man like Mr. Strout
speaks on such a subject, it is worthy of
notice, although the question of packing
has oftentimes been referred to in these
columns.

It is not saying too much that much of
the dr-clining interest in Carnations among
retailers is directly d.ie to poor packing.

Not so long since E. G. Hill referred to
the fact that the English growers pack
their Carnations in narrow shallow wood-
en cases, holding four dozen flowers, each
quartette of blooms being held in place
by a rolled paper wad. When it is stated
that concerns like W. E. Wallace cut over
a thousand dozen blooms a day in the full
season of flowers, and the whole are
packed as described, there is surely a rea-
son. It is not conservatism or slowness,
but real scientific handling of scientifically
gro\\Ti blooms.

The narrow boxes are tied in bundles
of six and are shipped as far as Aberdeen,
some 600 miles or more. The fact that
the cases are thrown about by the rail-
road people in a none too gentle fashion,
has no effect on Carnations packed in
single layers and, after all, a buyer at
some distant shipping point is fully en-
titled to well packed blooms. He pays
what is asked, and makes no kick if the
goods are right.

Short Weight

The New Jersey Agricultural Experi-
mental Station in Bulletin 343 records the
results of tests made with various insec-
ticides.

Of eight samples of arsenate of lead
^aste tested, two put up by New York
tirms were two ounces short of the one
pound claimed.

These analytical bulletins, by the way,
are of considerable interest, as all tlii-
regular commercial brands of insecticides,
fertilizers, etc., come under survey from
time to time.

What happens to those failing to meas-
ure up to published guarantees is not
recorded.

The Hybrid Begonia

Reference has been made to the pos-
sible usefulness of the large flowered hy-
brid Begonias for commercial purposes,
but the few who have tried them .have
found that they do not equal even the
Lorraine type for holding tneir flowers.

Under the circumstances, I was some-
what surprised to learn that varieties
such as Optima and Winter Glow are like-
ly to oust the smaller flowered tjrpe from
Covent Garden market.

Does this mean that the growers around
London have overcome the tendency of
these Begonias to drop their flowers?
Even the Lamps Say It

San Antonio, Texas, is to decorate its
lamp posts with flowers.

The Chamber of Commerce of that city
has sought the permission to install flow-
er containers on the electric light stand-
ards in the main thoroughfares.

The flower pots will stand 8ft. above the
footwalk, and project over the post some
8 or lOin.

They will be installed and kept in con-
dition at the expense of the merchants of
the city.

The idea is a pleasing one, but the task
of keeping the flower pots watered during
the Summer will, we imagine, prove no
light one.

What Is a Tender Plant?

We are pleased to consider this,
that and the other as too tender to with-
stand any frost, and, as a result, we are
apt to keep greenhouses well above the
freezing point, even when we do not re-
quire the plants to keep moving. I have
been interested in a note appearing in The
Gardeners' Chronicle (London) . A Midland
gardener records the fact that on Dec. 12
and 13 the temperature fell to 5 above
zero, 3ft. above the ground. Other days
in the same week it stood between 8 and
14 above. Owing to boiler breakdown
nearly all his houses were without heat.
Despite the fact that the temperature in
these houses stood around 12deg., and that

HOW TO IMPORT PLANT PRODUCTS

Simplified Rules for Those Who Would Bring in
Foreign Horticultural Materials

All field, vegetable and flower seeds may be imported in any quan-
tity without permit or other restriction.

Fruits, vegetables, cereals and other plant products for medicinal
food or manufacturing purposes, may be imported in any quantity
without restriction, except for a few plants prohibited by special and
local quarantines.

RULE 1. Write to the Federal Horticultural Board, Washington,
D. C, for a list of specially quarantined articles and keep it for refer-
ence.

Fruit stocks, cuttings, scions and buds may be imported unreservedly
except as just noted.

Rose stocks may be imported unreservedly.

Nuts and seeds of fruit and ornamental trees, shrubs and plants may
be imported unreservedly.

Bulbs of Lily, Lily of the Valley, Narcissus, Hyacinth, Tulip and
Crocus may be imported in any quantity provided (a) that they are
free from soil or (b) that the soil in which they are packed has been
sterilized in accordance with the inspection laws of the exportine
country. ''

RULE 2. In importing these bulbs, insist that the sand or soil be
sterilized and that a certificate to that effect accompany the shipping
papers. "^ ^

No other plant products may be imported in quantity for immediate
commercial purposes. Application may, however, be made for permits
to import any plant in hmited amounts (a) as a novelty for introduction
purposes, or (b) for propagation purposes, provided the supply avail
able in this country can be shown to be insufficient for legitimate needs.

RULE 3. If you desire to import any novelty or stock for propa-
gating, write to the Federal Horticultural Board for a copy of Apnlica.
tion Form 207.

Upon this you will be asked to state the number of plants desired
the necessity for importing them, the purpose for which they will be
used, and where and how they will be grown. If the application is
approved a bond will be required, based upon the value of the plants
after which the permit will be forthcoming. '

RULE 4. Make any desired applications as promptly as possible
since after May 31, 1921 they will be subjected to much closer ^c^tinv
and the number of permits issued will probably be greatly reduced

all the stock was frozen and laying over,
by shading and slow thawing, his Schizan-
thus, Clarkias, Camellias, Heliotropes,
Fuchsias, Maidenhair and Pteris ferns,
Selaginella, 'Mums, Smilas, Pelargoniums,
etc, came through without much hurt.
A conservatory containing palms, tree
ferns, Ficus, Pelargoniums, Genistas,
Bamboos, etc., has not been heated since
1914, yet all the plants have won through
each season. Strangely, the recent freeze
destroyed most of the hardy vegetables in
the same garden; Broccoli, Cabbage,
Sprouts, etc., being either killed out-
right or severely injured. Wallflowers
and Brompton Stocks, too, were ruined in
large numbers, while the Echeveria, so of-
ten coddled in a frame, was unhurt.

The Vegetable Kicker

A Chicago report states that Carl
Peowaty, the "Onion King," has declared
that during the past two years, the de-
mand for Onions has almos"; doubled. He
attributes the demand to the faet that
since prohibition, Americans have devel-
oped a greater taste for vegetables with
a "kick"^ in them. On this point it de-
pends whether the Onion is eaten raw or
cooked. My experience is that when eaten
raw the "kick" invariably comes from the
parties who haven't partaken!

The Royal Horticultural Society

This famous society recently held its
117th annua] general meeting in London.
Wars and other troubles appear to worry
it not. Its membership is 15,280 and on
the year's working, it was able to
show a balance of nearly $50,000. Of this
suin some $38,000 is being devoted to the
maintenance of the Wisley gardens and
science laboratories.

The reserve fund of the society is of
course enormous, much of it being in-
vested in war loan stock.

It may be mentioned that this meeting
scarcely coincides with the claim recently
made for the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society that it was older than the R. H.S.

Startling Figures

Professor T. B. Wood, the author of
a small book on "The Chemistry of Crop

Production enables The Gardeners Chron-
fe, London, to quote some remarkabfe
figures. Wheat removes from the soil dur^
mg Its season s growth, 1000 tons of water
per acre, equivalent to lOin. of rain. Soil
mulching through constant cultivation in
dp- weather may conserve in the course

wate?" ' °° '^'' ''''"' "^ '""^ °f

Fall plowing has the same effect; testa
have proved that 100 tons more water are
held m. plowed land than in land not
plowed in the Fall.

Some Potato Exhibition

• ^A*i ^°.. exhibition of field produce held
m Aberdeen, Scotland, the authorities of
the demonstration farm staged 520 varie-
ties of Potatoes and 220 varieties of
lurnips. The first named were set up in
plates of five tubers, each bearing a label
giving name and all particulars as to its
cropping powers per acre, immunity to
wart, niosaic, curl, blight, and whether the
pJants bore seed balls.

The seriousness of mosaic disease was
shoTi-n by the statement that eight plants
of Langworthy yielded 10% lbs. when af-
fected by mosaic, while eight plants free
from the disease gave 20% lbs.

Mosaic and curl cause great losses and
scientists, both in Europe and in this
country, are seeking to develop immune
stocks through selection.

Germination of Orchids

The young English scientist, J. K.
Ramsbottom, who investigated the Daffo-
dil disease, was recently lecturing before
the British Mycological Society on orchid
germination, using many slides to illus-
trate his text.

The fungus which enables orchid seed-
lings to grow was illustrated, and it was
stated that pure cultures of it are now
used at the great orchid establishment of
Charlesworth & Co.

We might say that we had wondered
at the ads of this firm, wherein it is
stated that orchids are raised hj the pure
culture system. The secret is out, another
British concern has a scientist at work on
its plant.

HENRY PENN'S MESSAGE

Everybody Sells Something or Loafs

Mystery or Mastery

Have you ever stopped to think that there is no MYSTERY in
Success. It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It is based on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that imderlie business activity and human life! It
comes from MASTERY of these laws, and their application to one's
work! To know these laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligently is sure to bring success whatever one's undertaking.
MASTERY is the key-word, not MYSTERY! The change of one let-
ter makes all the difference in the world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Business conditions are
rapidly changing. Just a short time ago there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more goods
than buyers. Instead of a seller's market, we have a buyer's market.
AH business, or in other words, all human activity, in its last analysis
is dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill: the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant his merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice; Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your sales-
manship.
This message is taken from the Sheldon Science of Business of which

I am a class member at Boston, and I think it contains meat for all

Among' New YorK Retailers

By

Woolgatherer

• T OT having received an invitation to participate
U in the inauguration ceremony at Washington on

• March ^, and. feeling slighted thereat, I decided
i was up to me to inaugui^ate something uf my own.
'htle the wind was a triHe "bosky," the sun shone bril-
Iitly so tliat 1 ahuost imagined that Spring was on
hd with all its attendant delights. Even in New York
(:y, a bright day in March has a strong call upon one,
id when from my office window I saw a flock of
pieons circling around, the temptation to have a flap
( my own was too strong.

True, the day was Friday, not the day that the super-
ilious would venture to choose for embarking on a
) lise of exploration, but the inclination was on and the

lie available, so without further argument with myself
I anyone else, I seized my hat, slid down the elevator
iJ quickly found my way into Eighth avenue, men-
' ly hoping that I might light upon a few retail florists

10 would provide me with some copy, or dope that I

uld turn into copy.

Wandering into 34th St., going East. I soon came
th? conclusion that some of the stores catering to

lies, know more about artistic window dressing than
"ne florists. True, some
^ the peacock green flow-
's and foliage that I saw
. one store never had

nr like in Nature, but
^^y were no more impos-

ile than the gaily decked
'ures standing in impos-

ile positions, or sitting

■ uncomfortable attitudes

■ ;Order that they might
; better display the
inty apparel some cun-
ig hand had devised for
,t purpose of attracting
\i modern Eve, who, in
Irn, would beguile some
'^dern Adam into paying
■! bargain(?) prices de-
luded. The fellow who
I'ote that immortal poem,
"he Man With the Hoe,"
ght to get busy again

id write another entitled
'he Girl With the Hose."
irtainly, the most care-
s man with the hoe could
t cause more devastation
'■ a garden than a modern
lid does among the boys
th her hose.

I am, however, wander-
J, but somehow ladies
d flowers are everlast-
;ly coupled together, at
ist that's as I notice
ngs. Even the theatrical
' opie couple the two at
ery opportunity, and
|ht now at the Ambas-
dor. The Rose Girl holds

rth. What she's doing I don't know; maybe she takes
hand in staging the Gilded Lily at the Rivoli.
] It will be admitted that I have said quite a lot about
! parade up 34th St., but before leaving it, I dropped
ito the smart store of the Boston Florist. Business?
'ell just something to go on with, but nothing to shout
lout. Still, things might be worse. It may be men-
5ned that the former partners of this concern dis-
Ived some time since, Mr. Caparell carrying on the
isiness. S. H. Calamanas, it would sjem, has a fond-
:ss for E. 34th St., and will shortly open an uptodate
ore under the title of The Park Florist. Wandering
ick, I reached Fifth ave. at 42d St., and spotting Fleisch-
an's store, I dutifully did as the "cop" ordered, held
e line until the signal box said "go," then I went
ill out." Fleischman's window display nearly took away
iy remaining breath. Acacia, Forsythia and Sweet
ieas in vases, a pot of Tausendchoen Roses, a basket
J: yellow Pansies, bronze Antirrhinum and Acacia, an-
her of red Tulips opened flat. Calendula, Daffodils
id a sprig- of Mignonette all served to make a delight-
il show. Business? No, not booming, but living in
Jpes. Easter trade expected to be up to the usual, if
) better.

McKenney, close enough to Fifth ave. to be almost
i it, next attracted me and, as the man himself was
I ght on the spot, I spent a pleasant ten minutes talk-
ig about flower prices and foreign deliveries. Mr.

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

McKenney has a notion that some of the French flo-
rists have such an inflated idea as to what the good
old U. S. dollar is worth, that they think ordinary Car-
nations at $5 a dozen are the right thing. When one
considers how the exchange stands, the French florist
who delivered two dozen Carnations (not Malmaisons)
for $10, surely needs no teaching in the art of profiteer-
ing. Likely as not those Carnations were bought in the
Paris market for 20 francs, which in U. S. coin would
be amere song. Discussing London flower prices Mr.
McKenney owned that New York had nothing on Covent
Garden, where Lilies had been making 36c. Richmond
Roses the same. Arums ditto. Pheasant's Eye Narcissus
and Princeps Daffs still ditto, while Emperor Daffs

touched 50c. per doz. As for Tulips, a dollar marked
top grade. I came away with the impression that the
little flower shop on 42d St. is by no means as small as it
looks. It is not always the big place that does most
business.

Passing into Madison ave. I glimpsed the windows of
Dards. The baskets here were a feature, even when not
filled with flowers. One decorated basket looked
specially fine. It was made up with Tulips, Antirrhi-
nums and Sweet Peas. Forsythia, too, was a strong fea-
ture in one window. He was truly a wise bird who
discovered that this dainty shrub could be forced into
flower, after cutting, in a dormant condition.

My luck was with me when I drifted along to A. T.
Bunyard's depot, for the man himself was waiting to re-
ceive me and in my honor he switched on the light in
the icebox and gave me carte blanche to look around.
This flower shop goes in for variety and especially pot
lines. Azaleas, Chorizema and Paul's Scarlet Climber
Rose were three specially good items. Some of the
finest pink Snapdragons I have ever seen were on show
here, while pink Bouvardia, African Daisy, Dimorpho-
theca, and Shirley Poppies, hobnobbed in the window with
pans of Crocus, miniature Cacti and other uncommon
lines. If there is any business doing at all A. T. B.
always gets his share, consequently he has no fears as
to the Easter outlook.

There are not a few florists located in this district.

and when I looked at Ramm's window I noted a big show
of bulbous and other flowers, but as the shop was in
the throes of a business rush, I passed on to Kott-
millcr. who was displaying Camellias in good shape.
No rush on them at all, I was told ; people would sooner
pay more for Gardenias. Apparently, the elite of Madi-
son ave. aren't following the lead of Buckingham Pal-
ace. Mr. Kottmiller, like many others, was wondering
why King Alfred Daffodil has no subsbtance in its peri-
anth this season. Beautiful pans in a couple of days be-
gin to show signs of wear, which is not in keeping with
this variety's reputation. Truly, bulbs are causing some
trouble this season.

J. D. Small, Inc., were having a breather; they had,
a day or two before, sent half the staff and a lot of
stock to Washington, D. C, where certain functions
in connection with the inaugural were taking place just
about the time I dropped into this big store. "When decked
up, this shop is truly some shop: it is big enough for a
reception. Seated by the fish pond, 'neath the shade of
the sheltering palms and Cibotium ferns, I just dreamed
I was down in Florida where all the millionaire plant
growers have been disporting themselves lately. In the
window was a big batch
of bulbous flowers and a
:ollection of Cinerarias, in-
cluding the first double I
have seen for many years..
For variety and color,
the small shop run by Burns
the Florist, wants a bit of
beating. Bulb stock galore
and good at that, pots and
pans filled every corner,
but there were also plenty
of cut flowers, including
some of the famous Burns
grown Roses. A neat line
noted here was Ivies in
small pots. Only a few
inches tall and full of foli-
age, these little pots make
excellent room ornaments.
Before leaving, I exam-
ined Mr. Burns' collection^
of pictures taken at the va-
rious New York horse
shows which he had had
the honor of decorating.

Time being on the wing,
I slid across to Fifth avd
again and found myself
outside Max Schling's
shop. Max himself was on
the spot, and being a man
of many minds, it was easy
enough for him to discuss
a hundred and one things
in as many seconds. He
was just tickled to show
me a blue print depicting
flower beds, but I was still
more interested when he
told me that the work go-
ing on in the roadway outside his shop, was the location
of these same flower beds. Mr. Schling is chairman of
the Fifth Avenue Association, and through this asso-
ciation's influence, some $70,000 is being spent in mak-
ing a delightful garden in the wide open space around
the Sherman monument and in front of the great Plaza
Hotel. When complete, this garden will be one of the
show places of Fifth ave. The fact that it happens to
be right outside Mr. Schling's flower shop, does not
cause him a tremor of fear. Indeed, Mr. Schling is
just a trifle pleased, but just how much he had to do
with the bringing about of this addition to New York's
show places I cannot say. Truth to tell, I believe he
is game enough to do the job himself if he were allowed
to. In the window of this shop was the finest example
of pot Wistaria I have ever seen. Pure white and
standing some 4ft. tall, it was covered from peak to
base with blooms. The blue bow of ribbon fave the
finishing touch. Paul's Scarlet Climber Rose, boxes of
cut bloom, a vase of scarlet Nasturtiums, a spike of
Clivia and some pots of dainty pale blue Nemesia, were
a few other things that caught my eye.

Being a, born grower and a plant lover, Mr. Schling
makes a hobby of growing a few things at his home
and it is in a small greenhouse there that he grows a
quantity of Clivia (Imantophyllum). Because the flowers.

A Departure in Flower Shops

What has been called the "most beau-
tiful flower store in America" was opened
on Feb. 26 by The Jones-Eussell Co., at
1430 Euclid ave., Cleveland, O., in the new
and moniunental Hanna building. As the
photograph shows, the interior of the new
store is a decided departure from con-
Tentional treatment. However, with all
of the emphasis upon artistic beauty, the
practical necessities of display space, re-
frigerator show cases, cashier's desk and
office have not been sacrificed.

Nearly two thousand people visited the
new store on opening day, and over a
thousand of them received a bunch of
Violets.

{Continued on page 613)

are charming in color and not at all
common, the demand has been greater
than the supply.

G. E. M. Stumpp's store window was
gay with the usual 35 bos, pans of
Primula obconica, Azalea amcena and
rambler Roses. The many fancy china
bowls and candlesticks in this shop would
do credit to a Wanamaker collection.
Perennial roots of all kinds are among the
offerings at this store, too, and on an
easel, right where people could not miss
seeing it, was a list of the many plants
available. Another feature was the
masses of brightly colored Pampas Grass
plumes. As they were real, one could
forgive the fact that some of the plinnes
were of a color not seen among natural
flowers.

Bidding Fifth ave. adieu, I meandered
into Sixth ave., convinced that I had seen
enough of florists' shops, but bless you,
all the florists are not located in the upper
ten circles.

Away up at 940 Sixth ave. F. Stewig
controls a really good store and here I
found white and mauve stocks, Buddleia
asiatica. Azaleas and lots of other good
things.

Mr. Stewig has had some 40 years ex-
perience in the florist business, but he is
not by any means old-fashioned, although
he awaits conviction that newspaper ad-
vertising can do what is claimed for it.
The business that has come his way is,
he considers, due to hard work and square
dealing.

Kuhn, the florist, a block or so away,
too, has an attractive shop and, judging
by the beautiful wreath just completed,
floral art is not an unknown quantity here.
Our chat was brief, bright and brotherly,
then I pas.sed on, marveling at the fact
that the florists of New York are not
apparently suffering from the jumps as is
so evident in other lines.

Not once did I observe a "tout" outside
a store, no glaring signs of sales at 50 per
cent oil cost, no electric window tappers,
nor any straining to attract attention in
a loud way, which goes to prove that the
florists are pretty well satisfied with con-
ditions as they are. Incidentally, too,
not one of the stores I inspected dis-
played artificial flowers.

When Harry B. Jones and Chares E.
Eussell decided a year ago to move to
the new location, they decided also to cre-
ate a flower shopj which in point of
beauty, would be beyond any other flo-
rists' establishment that they knew of.
Instead of engaging an architect of the
ordinary type, Mr. Jones and Mr. Russell
called in an artist who has specialized in
interior decoration.

It was agreed that the store interior
should be both artistically beautiful and
in some degree suggestive of the kind of
business to be conducted. As flowers
normally grow out of doors, it was felt
that a tile floor, antique plaster walls,
wrought iron banisters and lamps, and
rough hewn oak woodwork carried the
proper suggestion of outdoors. At the
same time every detail of the store is con-
sistent; there are no smooth, glossy sur-
faces, no severely straight lines.

The walls are finished in genuine fresco,
color applied to the wet plaster, exactly
as it was done in medieval Italy. The
side walls are of light sienna with an
undertone of lavender. The ceiling is blue
with an undertone of green and brown.
The tile floor is deep brown with spots
of bright blue, cerise, vivid green and here
and there a moulded pattern tile. The
effect is subdued yet colorful as a beauti-
ful rug. The hanging lamps and the wall
lamps are of wrought iron, with mica
instead of glass. The writing desk of
carved oak and the cashier's desk of
carved oak and plaster with decorative

units. The wall surfaces are broken up
by hewn oak brackets and shelves. The
refrigerator door frames and the frame
of the large mirror are of wrought iron.
So also are the banister and mezzanine
rail. Through the carved oak arch at the
rear there is access to an upstairs work
table and to basement work and store-
room.

An invitation is extended to florists
visiting Cleveland to stop in at the new
shop and see for themselves what an
artistically beautiful place it is.

Leominster, Mass.

The Leominster Floral Co., reports an
exceedingly fine crop of Roses, Hydran-
geas and Lilies this year. Although Easter
is a full three weeks off, orders are stead-
ily coming in. From the present outlook
this Easter will prove itself a good deal
more creditable than was previously pre-
dicted. This only shows that our Na-
tional slogan "Say it with Flowers" is still
doing the work for us, although unsup-
ported by all too many members of the
trade. L. C. Hollingsworth.

Cooperative Advertising

"It is in the air"

We are all thinking about it, we

are all talking about it, and many

of us are applying it with greater

or lesa success.

Paying Something for Nothing

By Nelson Coon.

Rarely is it wise to pay good money
for notUiufi, yet there ia at least one case
where wliat ia apparently "nothing" is
valuable. It ia the white or blank space
used in advertisements. Did you over notiee
the advertisements of tlic Ilupmobile.
They are usually full page ada, but the
story told ia rarely longer than this para-
graph. But they are ada that are read
and are most effective in getting the story
"iicroas," which is the real aim of any
ud.

The secret of the success of the Hup-
mobie ada, and of many other similar
ones, is in the use of white space. It is
only natural, because of the high cost of
new.spaper and magazine space, that the
advertiser should wish to crowd into that
space all the material possible with no
waste of room. But experience has proven
that there are certain laws covering these
points that it is well not to forget.

Here is a paragraph set
solid with reading matter
of a heavy style type. It
is hard to read and harder
yet to grasp the idea at a
glance. The general shape
of the ad, too, is not pleas-
ing to the eye. If this were
really an ad it is doubtful
if most folks would do
more than give it a slight
glance and perhaps

See THE NAME

And yet how many advertisements we
see that are set in just this fashion: lots
of perfectly good ideas in the ads them-
selves but nothing particular stands out
with prominence and there is no invita-
tion to read. It is a list of stock, per-
haps, and nothing more. If the reader
wants to fi.r"! ■^nmo+'hine:. he looks for it —

This article is written as a brief review
in order that we might better be able to
cope with the situation. Cooperative ad-
vertising, if done judiciously and under
proper supervision, is beyond question a
success. The raising of funds for cooper-
ative advertising, if done judiciously and
under proper supervision, is also undoubt-
edly a success. To the latter, however,
must be in a large measure credited the
greater amount of failures. Speaking for
the florists' business itself, after careful
observation for a decade or more in which
this has been tried and carried on, we
must admit, and we have data to prove
it, that the only plan and the most equit-
able plan for creating a fund for this
proposition is the percentage plan. The
contribution plan has been tried in dozens
of different ways; invariably, after the
first year, it began to wane and, about
the second year, dwindled out in every
locality where it has been tried, with just
one exception, and that one cannot hold
out much longer; it is now two years old.
While to the contrary, on the percent-
age plan, the conamunities adopting it and
applying it forcefully and judiciously have
not only continued on that plan, but they
have in each instance increased, and in
one case doubled their percentage. This
being the case, there should be no doubt
in the minds of the florists of any com-
munity that the percentage plan is the
only plan under which funds can be col-
lected and the movement kept alive.

We know of many communities which ,
started under the most auspicious condi-
tions on the lump sum contributing plan ii r
and each and everyone has failed sooneillt tO tcll VOU Ol
or later. Even the cities of Milwaukee
Chicago and St. Louis, that are now work-y-
ing so successfully on the percentage plar'-^ '
had for years previously tried various ways f -.^
on a contributing plan, and everyone had lOr
failed. , ^ •^

Hence, this article is written for those cHlCl WllliC
contemplating cooperative advertising as

a warning against making the mistakes^fg We SUffSCSt
that so many others have made. Wh'at ' ^

ever you do, get thoroughly acquainted-^ ^^l ,,« ^^ rwAe^x
with the percentage plan. If you are nc i^"^* "^ "-^^ ^-iiuci,
so acquainted, write the undersigned o A OH
any member of the National Publicit ^L\jj OX ITlOre,
Committee, and information will cheei _ . -

fully be given you This is of vital im-^rictn CiT If^nortn^
portance to the whole trade. We have » itiigtiio

now an opportunity to benefit by our past £
mistakpp and by our present achievements, I
So let us not w^a'^te time and energy on
'■ a non-workable plan, but let us unite on a

■ plan that spells "Success," not only now,
but for future time to cnme. No com-

I niunity where there are two or more flo-
! rists is too email, nor none is too large to

■ make this plan workable.
I Don't stand in your own light. Get into
I the Big League.

Denver Carnations for Pres.
Harding

The Denver, Col., Society of Ornamental
Horticulture, desiring to show its esteem,
shipped 100 blooms of George Brenker's
new light pink Carnation. Denver, on
Feb. 28, convinced that the flowers would
arrive at Washington, D. C, in good shape
for the inauguration ceremonies.

The flowers were addressed to Congress-
man W. N. Vaile who had undertaken
to see them delivered to the right quarter.

It may be mentioned here that Denver
was one of the varieties entered in the
Texas prize competition at Washington
Carnation Show, Jan. 26, wh#n it was
only just beaten by White Delight.

fecSve il^cjf?^i,S-. ^i5a??is ail the
result of a little white space.

Normally, it is considered that at least
one-fifth of an ad should be white space.
The ways in which this space may be used
are many, only keeping in mind that the
widest margins should be at the top, next
widest at the bottom, and narrowest at
the sides. There are besides this white
space principle many others that go to-
ward the success of newspaper ads, in-
eluding the careful choice of the point of
appeal, ease of reading, etc., but these
we shall take up in later articles. And it
would be too tedious to* go at length into
the psychology of these principles of ad-
vertising. I shall try to show by common
sense that "thus" and "such" is so. For,
after all, psychology is simply common-
sense in a scientific garb, and its name

Randall's
Flower Shop |

* Quality and Senice " <^^> |

drives many away in fear.

Mr. Edward Bok, former editor of the
Ladies' Home Journal, says in hia re-
markable book "The Americanization of
Edward Bok," that "white space is some-
thing to cherish for its effectiveness."
Surely, no better word or one from a bet-
ter authority can be left with the reader.
Perhaps I should have called it a text and
put it at the beginning of this article, but
then it might not have been remembered.

"White space is something to cherish
for its effectiveness."

The Ever-Ready or Lightning Change
Plant Basket

Robert L. Graham, Jr., says this basket
is not quite as old as the Natural Bridge
in Virginia but, like the Bridge, it is
moss-covered and meant to convey the
natural look, without frills, ribbons or
covers. The two photos herewith repro-
duced are studies in the old time moss-
covered arrangements, used sometime after
Adam left the Garden of Eden.

Spur, there are many other pans made up
and ready to drop into place.

The possibilities of the idea are num-
erous; this particular shape is only one;
round oval, and diamond effects, with part
bark combined with moss, or all bark,
as an outside covering of the wire may
be offered.

(the size of which is twelve inches square

and six inches deep; height of handle

tTventy-four inches), the wire handle and
all is entirely covered with green sheet moss
using thin copper wire to hold it in place,
a lOin. empty bulb pan is placed in the
center and plants of long English Ivy are
placed in the four corners, and to be ex-
act, the soil is then packed firmly around
the plants and outside the empty pan.
The Ivy is allowed a month or so to
shape up and grow. All the while the
empty pan remains in the center. Fig. 2
shows the finished basket ready for sale.

Miss Graham does not favor the using
of ribbons on this natural effect basket.
However, that rests with the customer.

As a permanent show window basket,
would this not be a good investment too:

The moss naturally must be kept damp
to maintain it alive and green, so the
square tin (^in. deep, painted green) is
used under the basket.

$2000 for Flowers in "little Italy"
Funeral

That one does not have to look to the
broad avenues and socially prominent
boulevards for all the most effective dis-
plays of flowers, is proved again by a re-
cent news story of a f xmeral in New York's
Italian quarter.

Eocco Franko, 27 years old, son of a
shoe dealer of 205 Mott St., was found
shot in a hallway after a mysterious
double shooting affair. He died at a hos-
pital without being able to identify his
assailant and was bui'ied with ceremonies
that are reputed to have cost more than
$15,000. The room in which the body lay
in state in his father's house "was banked
with flower pieces, some eight feet high,
that cost a total of $2000. Two brass
bands, 150 carriages, and a six-horse
hearse took part in the fimeral procession.

SCRANTON, PA.

Worcester, Mass.

March. 7. — "Fair," "quiet/* "poor," "not
so bad," were the answers to our inquiry
as to last week's business.

Fair would be about the proper adjec-
tive to use. Stock is piling up a bit but
that is to be expected during the Lenten
season.

Lange has the first St. Patrick's win-
dow on display, showing a nice lot of Sham-
rocks in various baskets and pottery con-
ceits, small and large trained Ivies and
the Irish and American flags used as a
background with hardy evergreens.

Three of the larger plant growers have
their Easter plants rea<^ for the cooling
off process and are all busy shifting Lilies
into cooler quarters. The weather man
has been good to the growers — tempera-
ture not very low and better than the
average on sunshine.

Newport, R. I,

The main house in the range of green-
houses at the Rhole Island State College,
Kingston, is to be rebuilt. The State
Legislature has made an appropriation of
$7024 to defray the expense.

At the Newport Horticultural Society's
meeting to be held on March 22, Montague
Free, N. Y., is to give an illustrated lec-
ture on "native plants and their adaptabil-
ity for gardens" free to the public.

So confident were the dentists that they
could whip the Daily iVeios basketball team
last Saturday, that they concluded to use
only tlieir own players — thus dispensing
with the "golfers" which team was, ac-
cording to original plans, to furnish Carl
Jurgens as center. The result was that
the Daily Neics men won; score, 28 to 17»
in what was said to be the roughest
game ever seen here; in fact, a slugging
match.

Had our friend, Carl Jurgens got into
the game, the result might have been dif-
ferent. Alexander McLellan

same to become operative on March 15. A com-
mittee of wholesalers has been appointed to formu-
late necessary details which will include the filUng
of a SIOOO bond as a forfeit of good faith, we shall
have at least S75.000 to spend in Chicago for ad-
vertising this coming year.

To Which Mr. Henshaw Added

This is how advertising pays in Chicago.

It will do the same in New York.

If Chicago can raise $75,000, what can
we do if we all pull together?

Are you, Mr. Grower, satisfied to have
stock sold for 2c. when, by means o£ ad-

vertising, it can be &jld for from 4c. to
6c? and are you, Mr. Retailer, not glad
to have your sales increased by the same
medium. Low prices and a glutted market
means a loss to grower, wholesaler and
retailer.

We have made our first start in New
York and the ads of March 3 and 4 have
sho-vvn good results. Our fund of over
$4000, so far in hand, comes from less
than one hundred members of the Flo-
rists' and Allied trades. Are you doing
your bit? If not, get busy. Growers
should send in their name, amount of
ground space covered by glass and a check,
covering six months assessment, at the
rate of $2 per 1000 sq. ft. of such ground
space, to A. M. Henshaw, secretary and
treasurer. New York Growers* Ass'n, 35
West 18th St., N. Y.

Wholesalers are 100 per cent in the
movement. Their subscriptions have been
received. Bulb dealers and seedsmen,
siipply dealers and greenhouse builders
likewise. The plant growers are prepar-
ing to send in their assessment. The As-
sociated Retail Florists of New York and
the Greek-American Florists' Ass'n will
undoubtedly join the movement. A feasi-
ble method of assessment and collection is
so far their stumbling block. Don't delay.
Send in your assessment. Talk to your
friends and neighbors in the trade. Co-
operation is what we need. A 100 per
cent allied organization will find many
helpful things to do in addition to this
most important matter of local advertis-
ing. Y"our ideas and helpful suggestions
are welcome. A. M. Hensham,

A. F.T.A., N.Y.

Amount collected to March 8: Growers,
$1952.04; wholesalers, $1225; supply deal-
ers, $237.50; seed and bulb men, $850;
"a retailer," $25; total $4552.04.

Greek-American Florists Association
Entertainment and Ball

One of the most delightful festive occa-
sions in florists' circles this season was
the entertainment and ball given by this
association on Wednewiay evening, March
2, in the grand ballroom of the Hotel
Commodore.

The Decorations

While the "out-of-reach" decora-
tions of the ballroom were, as a matter
of course, made with garlands of Southern
Smilax and boughs of Pine and other ever-
greens, lighted up by the free use of
artificial Dahlias of a deep Rose color, a,ll
of the "in reach" decorations were made
with Smilax and natural flowers, the
floral part being done in beautiful Dar-
win Tulips and giant Narcissi. Credit
for the designing of the decorative scheme
and for its execution should be given to
Geo. Hanges.
Music and Entertainment

The orchestra of 50 pieces fur-
nished choice music throughout the eve-
ning The entertainers for the evening
were many and well chosen, the Bingers
being the most popular. The odd and
attractive feature of the entertainment
was shadow dancing in the dark, colored
lights playing from the four_ corners ot
the ballroom continually beaming the way
tor the dancers.

The Ball

This was a full dress occasion and pro-
nounced by those present to be the finest
that the association has ever given. About
1500 were present. The spacious floor ot
the ballroom was well filled m the grand
march and if it had not been for the skill
of the floor manager, it would have been
quite difficult to keep the splendid order
that prevailed on the floor. A flashlight
picture of the ball was taken. _ The well
known president of the association, James
Caparell ot the Boston Florists' Co. with
Mrs Caparell, led in the grand march.
Spiros D. Sakas and lady coming second.
While there were many strange faces on
the floor, old friends and well wishers of
the association were present in large num-
bers The wholesale flower buaineea was
well represented, among those present be-
ing A M. Henshaw, Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Rigo of the Henshaw Floral Co., Aubrey
Nash ot Hentz & Nash, Jos. Levy, Fred-
erick Scherer, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C.
Gilbert, also Miss Durkin, Miss Brophy
and James Rutig from Jos H Fenrich,
D J. Pappas, and Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Carvel of the United Cut Flower Co., and
Mr. Francke of the Julius Roehrs Co.

to this city on Saturday, March 5, and
in an interesting conversation with them
this week they said: "We both like Miami
and what we have seen of Florida very
much; wonderful landscape work is being
done there, both in the city of Miami
itself and along the beach boulevard,
making it a veritable fairyland. ^ We
had six weeks of solid sunshine while_ in
Miami; the city is crowded with tourists
from all parts ot the country, but es-
pecially from the Middle West and from
Canada. "This is our second Winter visit
to Miami and we like it better each year."
Mrs. Kessler added that, if it were feasi-
ble, she would like to go to Miami and
make her home there. The water temper-
ature is 74 deg. and there is bathing every
day in the year. The streets and the
boulevard are lined on either side with
Australian Pines and palms. There _ is
said to be 70 varieties ot palms growing
at Miami. The boulevard along the beach
is 70ft. wide. While there, Mr. and Mrs.
Kessler met Mr. and Mrs. Anton Schul-
theis and daughter, who have planned to
remain South until after Easter.

A. Le Moult, 202 Bowery, will occupy
the store at 51 West 28th st. as soon as
the needed change and improvements are
made, for the purpose of carrying on a
flower business.

A. M. Henshaw, chairman of the Allied
Florists' Trade Ass'n, says that there is
every indication that the raise in price
in the market of Friday and Saturday of
last week was a direct result of the
Allied Florists' Trade Ass'n newspaper
advertisements on Thursday and_ Friday
of last week. Some of the retailers say
as soon as advertising increases business,
the prices of stock goes up. The answer
to this is never mind what the cost is, if
the demand of the retailer is increased,
a condition no retailer will be inclined
to complain about.

St. Patrick's Day, which falls on Thurs-
da.v, March 17, is already bringing out
samples of green Carnations and Sham-
rocks. We noted a neat display of such
samples this week at Wm. Kessler, 113
West 28th St.

Among the recent visitors in town were
James Karins, of H. A. Dreer, Inc., Phila-
delphia, Pa., Frank M. Johnson, of A. F.
Randall Co., Chicago, 111., Frank Dolan-
sky and Frank McDonald, of Boston,
Mass.

Tbe Market

The wholesale cut flower market is
moving along on an easy basis, brought
about by the fact that the supply and
demand is more equal than it has been
in a long time. In Roses, there is a slight
falling off in the supply, but in other
stock there is an abundance. It is said
the Rose growers are holding their crops
tor Easter. Be this as it may, the market
is fairly well balanced, a larger demand
would mean a shortage in some lines, and
vise-versa, a larger supply would over-
stock the wholesalers to a point where it
could not be moved at a profit.

The shipping trade is steady though
which the heaviest portion of the stock is
moved. Local buying is spasmodic, being
mainly for funeral work and, with low
death rate, there is no heavy buying, re-
tailers tailing to stock up for more than
their daily requirements. . .

It is the Easter prospect that is giving
the wholesalers most anxiety; what the
probable supply will be is the prevailing
topic ot the market. It is a foregone con-
clusion that the demand will be large but,
as all the great days of flower selling this
year have fallen behind in proportion
when compared with the year 1920, no
one is looking for a record breaker; still
a substantial business will be done trom
all indications. , . ^ tti ^

It is believed the supply of most Easter
stock will be normal with possibly the ex-
ception of Lilies. While there are as

E. G. HILL CO.I

Wholesale Florists
Richmond, Indiana <

Wlier orderlne- nlease mention The Bxchanxe 4

many ot these grown as ever, the flower- ^
ing properties of the bulbs is falling far
short of what was produced one year ago,
wherein lies the reason for a less plenti-
ful supply. In Roses, Carnations, and j
bulbous stock, it is believed there will be 1
a flne supply. One or two ot the leading ij
houses are booking Easter orders for *1
Lilies at 25c. per bud and urge shipment^
three or four days in advance, so as the J
blooms can develop on the premises of theil
retailers.

There is no falling off in the supply of
bulbous stock; one would never know of
bulbs going blind if his observation wa8^
confined to the wholesale cut flower. There
I is an abundance ot everything; it prop- ,
) erly displayed, the flowers would rival the ij
I fields of Boskoop and Sassenheim in the [
heyday of their glory. |

I There are Daffodils running the entire
i gamut from yellow to white with trumpets [
I flanged, lobed, serrated and recurved.
I These are coming from Southern fields as il
well as from nearby growers. The stock ||
is all of excellent quality, much of thatuj
which is naturally grown without much i
I if any forcing, shows great improvement"
! over the forced stock of a tew weeks ago. t
I Sweet Peas are plentiful and ot better i
quality. There is enough of Cattleyss, i
and the supply of Valley is ample for all '
existing demand. There are more Violets i
than can be moved at a profit while Uie.j
supply of all green stock is sufficient forii
present demand.

"JAY EM" Says:

The Pussy Willow

A Chicago florist with many years of
experience in the handling of cut flowers
and everything that pertained thereto,
made the boast that he could tell any
flower, or part of a flower, or any item
of stock used in connection with the cut
flower trade, by the smell.

A wager was made, and he was securely
blindfolded when his contestant held a
Rose stem in front of him. He immedi-
ately exclaimed, a Rose!

Next a bunch of Carnation stems was
held before him when, with the true in-
stinct, he claimed to possess, he said. Car-
nations!

In an endeavor to get something more
difiicult, a bunch of Galax leaves was
next held before him, when to the amaze-
ment of all he shouted, Galax!

At this point his challenger had about
decided he had lost, so unerring was the
florists' sense of smell when, on the im-
pulse of the moment, he picked up a pet
kitten that was playing on a bench nearby
and held it right before his nose. Here
he paused for a while, and a laugh went
up, all present feeling that he had lost
his bet. After some deliberation, to the
surprise of all he exclaimed, "Hold on,
I've got it. Pussy Willow!"

GOOD CARNATIONS

We always said we had them, now let
us see — are we right?

At the Carnation Convention "SIM'S"
CARNATIONS took 6 Firsts and 3

Seconds with 9 entries. (Not so worse, what?)

All our CARNATIONS come from Wm. Sim of Clifton-
dale. He has only about 130,000 plants. We sell his whole
output.

This about tells the Carnation story but, we have good
ORCHIDS too — the best of all varieties. Frank Dolansky,
of Lynn, has over 70,000 plants and we sell every flower that
is cut from th»m.

Our ROSES have always given great satisfaction.
LILIES, VIOLETS, MIGNONETTE, FREESIAS, NAR-
CISSUS, TULIPS, and all other sorts of flowers ready to
ship at all times, in any variety and in an quantity. Also
all sorts of Greens and Florists' Supplies.

Our reputation for reliability and prompt ship-
ments is O. K.

Only seven weeks to Easter. We are ready to make
contracts now.

The Market

March 8. — It is pleasant to note
that the market has jpereeptibly improved
since a week ago. Not only have the prices
stiffened in several lines, but the general
tone of the market is more cheerful and,
within the last two or three days, trading
has shown a little of the old time vim.
Keceipts of flowers are still heavy enough
for all purposes, athough a daily clean-
up is always possible.

Roses in general have done well, and
have held about the same price as a week
ago. White Roses are extremely hard to
dispose of; there is no demand for them
whatever. The quality of all Roses is of
the best, 24in. is about the limit in length
for most varieties. There is a complaint
from some growers of Hadley that this
variety is not holding its own any more.
Among the faults which are most notice-
able, is a tendency to throw a number of
blind shoots and a. great susceptibility for
black spot. The growers who are com-
plaining, find Hadley a poor proposition
as far as returns are concerned and they
are wishing for a better variety of the
same color.

Carnations seem to have done with the
great rush; plenty are still coming to the
market but the supply is now more easily
managed and prices have advanced a little.
Best flowers bring easily 5c. to 6c. while
ordinary stock sells at 3c. to 4c.

White Lilies are poor property at pres-
ent : Callas are selling freely, being in
just about the right supply. Freesias do
not sell well, neither do Paperwhites;

both are hard to move at almost any low
price.

Daffodils are more than plentiful; the

better sorts like Victoria bicolor or King

Alfred are picked up at once, bringing

i from 6c. to 10c. ; Golden Spurs are over-

I done and have a hard time to find buyers

'. at 3c. to 4c. There are quantities of

Daffodils changing hands.

Sweet Peas of superior quality are be-
ing ofilered in a number of fine varieties.
1 Immense quantities are sold every day,
the best bringing up to 3c, Violets, too,
are plentiful and sell more freely than a
week or more ago. The same holds good
for Pansiea which latter bring now up to
3c. for selected flowers and shades.

There are some Tulips of various sorts
to be had. The supply is not large nor
is the demand worth mentioning. Hya-
cinths also go very slow.

Lily of the Valley is too plentiful, and
the price too low to be quoted. Cattleyas
have sold well at advanced figures; Cypri-
pediums are scarce as are Gardenias.

Shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day are
already being ordered from samples dis-
played in several stalls. One grower of-
fers his Shamrocks in tiny Boston Bean
pots.

All the usual minor sorts of flowers
and also indoor greens are to be had at
usual prices in sufficient quantities to
meet all demands.
General News

The Boston Horticultural Club held
its monthly meeting at the Parker House
on the evening of March 2. John K. L. M.
Farquhar presided.

Fred. A. Wilson, the speaker of the
evening, gave a very able and scientific
address on the trend or direction of the
advance of horticulture in the future. B.

F. Letson, president of the Boston Flo-
rists' Ass'n, and Albert R. Jenks, field
secretary of the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society were the guests of the
evening. The chair appointed Judge Hoyt,
Allan Peirce and Patrick Welch a com-
mittee to cooperate ^vith the other horti-
cultural organizations in Boston in the
matter of a joint banquet to be given in
honor of the three National presidents,
Thomas Roland, W. J. Howard and Wm.
N. Ciaig.

^Vm. N. Craig, superintendent of Faulk-
ner Farm, who was much indisposed
some two weeks ago, has had a relapse
and is confined to his bed again. Upon
recovery from his first attack, Mr. Craig
on March 1 spoke before the Woman's
Garden Club of Lexington, on matters of
horticultural interest. If possible, he will
address the members of the Worcester
Woman's Club on March 14.

The lecture in Horticultural Hall by
W. J. V. Osterhout, Professor of Botany,
Harvard University, on Saturday, March
o, was attended Ijy a record breaking
audience. The lecture hall was filled to
the utmost limits with men and women
wlio greatly enjoyed the professor's able
dissertation and explanations. Principles
involved in the production of hybrids and
the principles of Mendel's Law were the
subjects of the lecture which was also
fully illustrated with lantern slides and
direct diagrams on the blackboard.

The next lecture, which will be the last,
takes place on March 12 at the same place.
It will deal with plant breeding and the
practical applications of the laws of
heredity to the impiovement of plants.

P. Murphy, grower for J. J. Fee, Ja-
maica Plain, had the misfortune to fall on
the ice and is laid up with a broken rib.

Mrs. R. C. Bridgham, wife of the pro-
prietor of ''Newton Rose Conservatories'*
is reported on the road to recovery. Mrs.
Bridgham has been in the hospital for
.several weeks, having undergone an oper-
ation.

Thomas Pegler, who is grower for
Ernest Saunders of Lewiston, Me., paid a
visit to Boston a week ago and was joy-
fully greeted by his many old friends in
the market and stores. Tom is looking
well and, from what he says, lie never felt
better in his life.

Other visitors in to^\Ti were Juhn Buck-
man, representing Henry F. Michell Co.,
of Philadelphia, Pa., and Jim Clark of
the Ingram Floral Co., Manchester, N. H.

There is a real inundation of Dutch
bulb salesmen in Boston at present.
Never before have so many been noticed
at one time in this city.

LeRoy Parsons, salesman in the Flower
Exchange Market for the Mann Co., has
been under the weather for over a week,
but is now able to be at his post again,
although looking rather seedy.

A. H. Glick, Jack Glick and Louis
Bornstein have opened a store at 8 Cam-
bridge St., Boston. The firm's name is
the "Florence Specialty Mfg. Co." The
firm manufactures and imports a full line
of artificial and wax flowers; especial at-
tention will be paid to all demands for
^Memorial Day wreaths, sprays, etc.

H. M. Robinson & Co., Inc., have re-
modeled and spruced up their several
stalls on the floor of the Flower Exchange
Market. The salesman who has charge of
the supplies department is kept pretty
busy early in the morning when the flo-
rists come to the market. Before depart-
ing for home, they replenish their sup-
plies of baskets, boxes, ribbons, tinfoil,
insecticides, etc.

F. J. McNamara, salesman at the Ex-
change Flower Market for tlie JMontrose
Greenhouses, had to be taken to tlie Fen-
way Hospital very suddenly on the eve-
ning of March 1 where he was operated
upon for appendicitis early next morning.
From latest reports, the patient is doing
as well as can be expected, so that an
early recovery is hoped for by his many
friends.

Yaffe Bros, of Haverhill, Mass., have
built up a fine reputation in the last few
years for the manufacture of artificial and
wax flowers. The firm's factory space is
now over 5000 sq. ft., and the help is
kept busy almost day and night. The
firm also manufacture made-up wreaths,
sprays, etc. for Memorial Day use.

The arrangements for the big Rose
show in Horticultural Hall, April 6-10
are developing in fine shape. From what
may be gathered at present, this show will
eclipse any similar affair ever held in this
hall; this is saying a lot. The price of
admission has been fixed at $1. So-called
trade tickets, in lots of not less than 25,
can be had at 2oc. per ticket.

Arnold Arboretum, is scheduled to lecture
before tlie National Gardeners' A^'n in
Wilmington, Del., on March 7. Mr. Van
der Voet will visit, on his return journey,
the nurseries in Delaware, Philadelphia
and Eochester, N. Y. He expects to put
in a few days at the International Show
in New York.

J. & R. Farquhar & Co. intend to make
a good show at the coming exhibition in
New York. The main features of their
exhibits will consist of Azalea Kaempteri,
Lihum regale and Rosa Hugonis. A car-
load of these plants will be used.

Louis Reuter, our ever busy plant
broker, reports business in his line as
wonderfully good, much better than for
some years at this time. The demand in
plants and cuttings is for much larger
quantities and also for a much larger
variety of sorts. Mr. Reuter has recently
returned from an extended trip to Can-
ada and the Northern New England states.
He reports business in those sections as
booming, not only in the bigger cities and
towns, but to an astonishing degree in
little towns of not more than four to five
thousand inhabitants. These people find
the times good and are making money.

Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., as reported in
The Florists' Exchange a few weeks
ago, sent to London, Eng., a very large
and handsome wreath which had been
ordered by the "All Around Dickens Club"
of Boston and which was deposited upon
the tomb, in Westminister Abbey, of
Charles Dickens, on the occasion of the
great man's anniversary of birth. The
firm of Thomas Galvin, Inc., has been
greatly pleased upon receiving information
how well the wreath stood the transporta-
tion across the Atlantic, and how it con-
stituted one of the outstanding features
among the birthday offerings. The Lon-
don Daily Telegraph, one of the world's
greatest newspapers, devoted an unusually
large amount of space to a description of
the wreath, its donors, makers, etc.

Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., will make es-
pecial efforts and will introduce several
novel effects in decorating 25 booths at
the Automobile Exhibition at Mechanics
Hall, March 12-19. Besides the above
booths, the firm will decorate fifteen
automobile salesrooms in the city.

Harry Quint has opened a new store on
the ground floor of the Victoria Hotel,

The Market

The Summery weather of the past
week has ushered in a large supply of
flowers, on which the demand has been
good. While the price range is not high,
nevertheless it is good for this period of
the year in face of general conditions.
Roses are clearing up nicely with a fairly
large supply; prices remain steady. Car-
nations are steady with a full .supply at
4c. to 6c. Snapdragon is now becoming
quite plentiful. Cattleyas remain dull,
with heavy receipts. Violets are in free
supply at a top price of SOc. per 100.
The supply of Callas is large and Lilac
is plentiful. Tulips and Daffodils are
quiet, as are Easter Lilies which are in
good supply. There are quantities of
Sweet Peas with the highest top level of
$2 per 100. Freesia is hard to move.
There is a good supply of Southern greens.

A FULL WIDTH OPENING AND
A TIGHT CLOSE-DOWN

Wolf Ventilating Machines will open a series of sash up to
350 feet in length — from one operating station — using only 1-inch
single strength pipe shafting — without variation in width of
opening anywhere along the line. And it will pull every sash
down snug and tight on the close-down.

— this enables you to put your
operating stations at the most
convenient points.

— it gives uniform ventilation
and makes a neat-appearing
greenhouse.

— it effects a material saving in
the cost of pipe for shafting.

it fine for those growing bedding stock.
Order the 'Mums you need, and the
2 or 2^/^in. Roses for i-eplanting the
houses. No time better than the pres-
ent to start Cannas, plant more Gladi-
oli and Lilies. Sow more Salvia, Ver-

benas, Snapdragons, Calendulas and
double Cornflower. How about the
early annuals? Don't overlook to sow
some Spencer Sweet Peas in pots for
outdoor planting.

Not all florists, need large numbers
of certain plants in bedding stock and
would just as soon buy the surplus of
a small grower, as long as it is good,
well packed and shipped the day the
order is received. If you have such
stock and can deliver it, let the readers
of The Florists' Exchange know
about it.

BAXTER'S NURSERY WRINKLES

Sending out "surplus" lists to the
trade is good, but inserting that list in
these columns is better; I'll tell you
why. If your mailing list is worked
frequently, as it should be, the names
thereon get to know what stock you
have. You can only interest them with
a new (lower) price. When you pub-
ish that list in these columns it is seen
by — NEW (that's what you want) —
prospective buyers. Your nursery to

them opens up a new source of supply.
Perhaps what you have been trying to
dispose of as a surplus is the very
stock they have been looking for. You
need not at first quote a profitless
price, just because you are about to
consign it to the brush pile. Try these
columns! Furthermore, these ads will
let the trade know that you are still
in business, and if you have a reputa-
tion for good stock, surplus lines will
not go begging.

VEGETABLE PIiAJTTS AND SEEDS

THE DIENER TOMATO
Increase your Tomato yield one hundred per'cent
by raising the new Diener Tomato; 30-40 tons of
ripe fruit to the acre.

This Tomato was raised last year all over the
United States and Canada with the greatest satis-
faction.

As smooth as an Apple and of a magnificent
dark red color. Single Tomatoes weigh up to 3 lbs.
each. The flesh is more solid than that of any other
Tomato. The fruit contains very little seed and is
solidly filled out. This Tomato is free of the acid
taste and for dehydrating, catsup and canning it
is the best Tomato in existence to-day.

The Diener Tomato is blight-resisting as well as
drought-resisting. It will not crack from the rain
and will not rot while lying on the ground in wet
weather. This Tomato will grow in almost any
kind of soil and it commences to ripen the first part
of August.

It is the greatest novelty in the Tomato line, and
it wil 1 soon crowd out the present varieties from the
market by its far superior qualities.

Price of the Diener Tomato Seed: Sample pkg.
25o.; one quarter of an acre, pkg. 50c., one acre,
pkg. $1.50.

the Crane estates, at Ipswich, will give
a talk on "Annuals and their use."

On April 7, the first day of the big Rose
show, the American Orchid Society, which
was formed last year, will hold its first
regular meeting in Horticultural Hall.
The election of officers and the adoption
of by-laws will be matters of major
importance.

Next day, April 8, the New England
branch of the National Ass'n of Gar-
deners will hold a conference in the same
building.

On March 5, in Horticultural Hall,
Douglas Eccleston, superintendent at Al-
bert C. Burrage's estate at Orchidvale,
Beverly Farms, made a wonderfully choice
exhibit of some of the gems of Mr. Bur-
rage's unrivalled collection. Mr. Eccles-
ton showed also blooms frome some of the
Orchidvale latest hybrids, which had been
produced with a view of obtaining a blue
Cattleya. From the blooms shown, it is
fair to predict that a true blue Cattleya
may be a thing of the near future.

The following awards were made to Al-
bert C. Burrage:

Lgelio-Cattleya, Sunrise, first class
cerificate of merit.

Odontioda Eosefieldense, F. C. C. M.

Odontioda Burrageii, silver medal.

Sophro-Lfelio- Cattleya Brilliant, S. M.

Cattleya Enid-alba, Silver Queen, S. M.

To Douglas Eccleston, for Cattleya
Trian?B with 69 flowers. Cultural certifi-
cate.

Other noteworthy specimens exhibited
were Odontoglossum triumphosum. 0.

Business Troubles

Stephen V. Yonic, florist of 30 Chestnut
St., Worcester, Mass., recently filed a vol-
untary petition in bankruptcy. His lia-
bilities were $4595, and assets $1294, with
E. F. Whitten his largest imsecured
creditor, who has claims of §2300.

The Market

March 5. — ^Little, if any change has
taken place in market conditions the past
week. Spring-like weather and stock of
excellent quality were not sufficient in-
ducement to the public to buy, despite the
low scale of prices now prevalent. How-
ever, the flower buying public is gradually
finding out that a dollar will buy some-
thing and, by the time Easter has roUed
by, we may look for lots of business of the
cash and carry variety. Florists, every-
where must realize that the day of "a
dollar's worth" is near at hand.

All Rose stock is of excellent quality
and is giving general satisfaction.

Carnations are a little weak stemmed
and seem to have lost some of their keep-
ing qualities. Choice home grown Valley
is now being offered; also single Violets.

Snapdragon is fairly good and a full
crop is looked for at Easter. Sweet Peas
never were better and, are really in over-
supply. Callas are good and, at present,
are in better demand than Easter Lilies.
There is a great diversity of opinion as
to whether the price of 25c. per bloom
can be maintained on Lilies for Easter.

Price boosters claim they will run short
but, recent investigations show that there
will be planety of stock for everyone.
Some extra fine Genistas will be available
here.

Odd Notes

Julius Baer is showing some fine Cin-
erarias in his Fourth st. show windows.

Irwin Bertermann, Indianapolis was a
recent visitor.

Mr. Bertermann is always welcome, since
his soxuid business ideas are thoroughly
appreciated.

H. W. Sheppard's Flower Shop will
have a novel window decoration for
Easter. Small blue birds with their
little houses (3x3) will be used in pro-
fusion throughout the entire decorative
scheme. H. E. K,.

Narcissus and Tulips as well as Hj .
cinths look fine in the pans, well color ]
and even in growth; all that can be { •
sired. However, they are pretty hi •
priced and ticklish stock to handle •
these times. Buying a year ahead of t i
market calls for good judgment and c< ■
rect handling, in fact, there are so ma i
items in this connection. The safest pL i
for the smaller growers is to buy
dealers at home.

People you know and who regard the ■
reputation as well as profits and, fc ■
tunately, they are nmnerous enough :
reach us all, so why buy of strange trav'
ere of whom you koow nothing, when y.
can deal with houses of high reputati< ;
at home and who, in many cases, are mo .
reasonable in price after all delivery ai
transport charges are paid?

If I were asked to name the chief ass
of a business house in one word, I shou
say "reliability," and this is the ma .
thing, especially in a trade that depen
on, for its profits, high grade flowers ai
plants as we do.

Weather conditions are not so favoral
for the Easter stock as it might be, b
there will no doubt, be enough for {
purposes. Washington's birthday call
for a little extra business and St. Pi
rick's Day will probably help some alj
Just now we are glad to get all the litl
things that come our way. S. B.

Club Meeting

The March meeting of the Florists'
Club was held in the assembly rooms at
the HoUenden, Monday night, March 7,
with President W. E. Cook in the chair.
It was a very interesting meeting, 35 mem-
bers being present, all of whom took part
in the discussion of timely trade topics.

It is generally felt that since the re-
tailers formed a separate organization,
less importance will be lent to the sessions
of the parent club. There is, however,
much work to be done, particularly along
social lines, which no doubt will occupy
the attention of the club in the future.

The usual routine of business was
altered to permit Judge Stevens, of the
Municipal Court, to acquaint the members
of the club with the immensely interesting
work of his court. The talk was informa-
tive and lightened with bits of wisdom
and humor. A rising vote of thanks was
tendered the speaker by the members.

H. P. Knoble read a list of committees
for the National Flower Show, to be held
here next March, which have been tenta-
tively chosen for ratification at the con-
ference, with Chairman George Asmus, of
the National Flower Show Committee,
here Sunday, March 13, at 2 p.m. Twenty
committees have been formed, each to
have specific duties to perform in the
staging of the big show, which, according
to all indications, will be a record breaker.

The finances of the club, as shown by
the report of the treasurer, are in a
healthy condition. The question box con-
tained several items of timely interest.
Two new members were elected to the
club. J. N. H.

The Market

Business has slackened up consider-
ably since Lent began, although in one or
two places, a few well timed funeral
orders have balanced things nicely but, on
the whole, the truth compels us to say
the volume of trade is now lighter than it
has been at this season for several years,
and this, notwithstanding the retail prices
are now as reasonable as can be expected
for first class stock.

Roses and Carnations are in fine shape,
and the quality probably explains wny
the shipping trade holds up. All the bulb
stuff is in ample supplies and I do not
hear any complaint regarding the bloom-
ing qualities of the bulbs*

Crawfordsville, Ind.

The McDonald Floral Co., of 126 Wt
Main st., and the greenhouses on We
Wabash ave., have been purchased by
P. Morris and C. W. Jack, owners of t
Morris & Jack Lettuce farm. The de
was closed through the company's pre
dent, A. H. Nehrling, possession bei
given to the new owners at the close
transaction.

The members of the new firm are wi
known in Crawfordsville, and both have
practical and scientific experience in pla
culture which will be of value in the
new enterprise.

Mr. Jack is a graduate of Indiana XJi
versity and holds a life license as
teacher in public schools. At one tii
he was a teacher of science and agrici
ture in the Crawfordsville high scho*
and had supervision of war garden wo
here under the direction of Purdue Ui
versitv. For the past three years he h
had charge of the seed, fertilizer ai
in&ecticide department of the Crabbs, Re
nolds, Taylor Co.

;Mr. Morris was recently chosen vi(
president of the Vegetable Growers' Asf
of Indiana. Since 1907 he has been ma ■
agei of the Lettuce farm.

Miss Jesse Campbell will be retam ■
bv the new firm as store manager. S
has been associated with the McDona
Co. for 12 years.

Mr. Nehrling, who retires from t
floral business here, is one of the b(
known yoimg men in the city. Duri
his association with the company he b
enjoyed an excellent business and h
attained a large amount of success. 1
possesses a high degree of knowledge alo
floriculture and horticultural lines and e
plied scientific methods in the devel(
ment. of the company's greenhouse, whi
resulted in giving the city a flower eh
second to none.

He passed a competitive examinati
for a scholarship at Missouri Botami
Gardens and the Shaw School of Botai
and was graduated in 1909. In Septe
ber, 1909, he was made assistant in flo
culture and took charge of the greenhoi
at the University of Illinois.

The following year he assmned his t
ties as instructor in floriculture and
sistant in the agricultural experunt
station at the xmiversity.

From 1913 to 1917 he was Professor
Floriculture, Massachusetts Agriculti >
College, Amherst, Mass.

About April 1 Mr. Nehrling will lei
for Florida to visit his parents and fr
there will go to Ithaca, N. T., where
will have charge of the commercial cou
in floriculture at Cornell University.

Columbia, S. C— The Wales Gard
greenhouses have opened an attract
floral shop in the lobby of the Draught '
Business College building. Mrs. K. ■
Feagan is in charge of this shop.

The Things Up In The Air
That Keep It Up In The Air

Sleight-of-hand performers seemingly
have a way of keeping things up in the
air, without anything but the air to keep
them up. When it comes to green-
house building, however, we are frank
to admit, that we have to put up a lot
of things to keep it put up.

Columns and trusses, for example.
They are designed on scientific lines modi-
fled by years of experience. Go into
one of our houses if possible and see how
the sunlight streams in. You will marvel
at the construction and almost believe
that some sleight-of-hand is being used to
hold the house up. A glance at the illus-

tration will convey to you what we mean.
Lord & Burnham houses are prize
winners, both as to longevity, growing qual-
ities and minimum of up-keep. Lord &
Burnham houses are the pride of all who
have them. A Lord & Burnham green-
house is the goal for which every grower
who already hasn't one, aims. Business
all over the country is improving. Im-
prove with it. If you haven't a Lord &
Burnham house, get one. If you already
have one, get another.

If you want to know more; we have
a lot more to tell. Say when and where,
and we'll be there.

We are going to have our usual attractive Exhibit at the Flower Show.
As you know, a call from you will be most welcome, and that we will
be glad to have you avail yourself of any service that we can render.

AGERATUM— FRASERII

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to our customers that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
in. high and was covered the entire season with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2'-2 in. across, while the individual flower would be % of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an escellcnt pot plant.

WE are now beginning our forty-fifth year in the seed business and cannot help but feel gratified at the
large following of customers that our many years of faithful service have brought us. The fact that
our customers come to us year after year proves that our seeds have been satisfactory, and that
has always been our aim — to supply seeds of such high quality that those who buy them will be perfectly
satisfied with the results they produce and come back for more the next year.

Then, too, a satisfied customer tells his friends about the excellent results he has had with our seeds and
more buyers are added to our lists as a result. That is how our business has grown. We have striven to
always supply the best seeds — our customers have done our advertising. To our satisfied patrons we would
say that our service in the future will be of the same high class as it has been in the past, and to those who
have never purchased seeds from us we say, give us a trial — ^you will then join the ranks of those who have
bought from us for years, and to whose faithful advertising we owe the success of our business.

Liighth International Flower Show

MARCH 14th to 20th, 1921

New York Scores Another Triumph

Aided by a Mild Winter and an Early Springf, Growers of Plants and Cut Flowers Surpass all Previous Records for
Quality and Quantity— General Report and Survey of Entire Exhibition for First Three Days — Complete List of

Trade Exhibits and All Awards Up to Wednesday Night.

Opening Day, Monday, March 14

9IKST IMPRESSIOXS count and without dis-
cussing the main entrance stairway, which is too
austere to be attractive even when furnished
ith ornamental Bay and other decoratives. the first
'.impsc as one reaches the main hall is that the show
all its promoters claimed it would be. It may be
.-arlessly stated that it is the best laid out exhibition
.or held in the Grand Central Palace. Further, many
f the exhibitors have taken a leap forw^ard in the
■ience of artistic staging and, in several instances, it
safe to say that no finer examples have ever been
'aged anywhere. The garden groups on the main
:ior show evidence of careful thought in the manner
i arrangement, while in the direction of variety and
lality the exhibitors have shown wonderful skill.
It is not our desire to revel in superlatives ; neverthe-
iss ,it would be remiss on our part not to give credit
't the many growers who have put their best effort
' the production of plants and flowers for this exhibi-
m. It is fully realizable that without the exhibitors,
j) effort on the part of the Flower Show Committee,
j)r the planning of Manager Arthur Herrington could
i:complish results anywhere approaching the present
Vtis factory outcome.

That the committee has worked effectively is self-evi-

'■nt, and that its system of organization is right up

the mark is proved by the rapidity with which the

vards were put through. Time was when a show of any

etensions was a long drawn out agony, both for the

dges and also the suffering pressman who desired

get through with his reporting.

A great change for the better was instituted after the
J International show held in London in 1912. Charles
)tty, among other American visitors, noted the celerity
ith which the great army of jurymen got through
e task of judging at that great show, several acres
extent. The fact that a full list of awards was in
e hands of the press within a few hours was an im-
essive lesson on the art of show organization and
I th natural aptitude, Mr. Totty, Harry Bunyard and
hers interested in exhibition work, made it their busi-
ss to learn all there was to learn in the art of flower
o\v organization. It may even be stated that, with
ntinued experience, the committee in New York has
iproved things from year to year, so that while it
tails considerable work, the whole runs so smoothly
:at the onlooker might easily imagine that staging a
? flower show presents no difficulties whatever.
When the writer put his foot inside the hall at 11
"n. on Monday, March 14, the amount of work still to
■ done did not lead one to imagine that the judges
3uld be in request until after opening time. They were,
owever, all on the job by 12.30, and when the public
I'und the doors open at 2 p.m. the only evidence of
orkers was a man here and there sweeping up odd
raps and, within an hour or so, all the exhibits bore
eir prize slips.

The writer has done his share of show promoting and
:hibiting and has doubtless vi'ritten more flower show
ports than the average man, but he has never had the
easure of getting around with greater ease than on this
■casion. Four hours after the judges started sufSced
I the opening day, to provide him with all the "dope"
i-eded for this report of Monday's exhibition, including
e ofiScial list of awards.

At the end of this period the inner man called for

tention and, in company with others, a visit was made

the Commodore Hotel, where a great spread had been

i'epared for the judges and other officials.

The Dinner to the Judges

; Fully sixty sat down to a feast commencing with
bster mayonnaise and ending with ices ; everyone thor-

oughly enjoyed it. T. A. Havemeyer was in the chair,
and he, with commendable spirit, ruled out all speeches
with one exception. Thomas Roland, President of the
S. A. F. and O. H.. at the chairman's invitation, ex-
pressed his opinion of the show in a few words ; it was
well worth traveling across the country to see. The
gardens, he thought, were the finest and most original
ever attempted in this country. He referred to the
coming National Show at Cleveland in 1922, and he
urged all to do their utmost toward making it a success.
It was to be the New Yorker's show as much as anyone
else's and, as the committee were figuring on an ex-
penditure of $75,000. it deserved the attention of every
man who had the interest of horticulture at heart.

Flowering Plants

From the top of the staircase one gets a straightaway
view down the central walk arched at intervals with
Roses and other vines. Two private growers' exhibits
flank the approach on either side and, truly, these
exhibits are masterpieces in their way. The schedule
called for flowering plants to cover 500 sq. ft. and
Adolph Lewisohn of Ardsley, N. Y., John Canning, su-
perintendent, made one of the most delightful displays
imaginable. Backed by shrubs and tall Cedars one saw
just a hazy mass of color skillfully blended. The fact
that the greater proportion of the flowers were annuals
makes the exhibit all the more remarkable. Truly,
annuals deserve more attention. Here were Gypsophila
elegans, Sweet Peas, Stocks, Primroses, Cornflowers,
Clarkias, Shirley Poppies, Lupins, Anemones, Dahlias,
Aquilegias, annual Chrysanthemums, Gerberas, Freesias,

Pansies, etc., in glorious profusion, with only a narrow
path and a raised bird bath to divide it. Tall Genistas,
Streptosolen Jarriesonii, American Pillar Roses, Azalea
mollis, Buddleia asiatica and Primula malacoides were
a few other lines that serve to make up this charming
group.

Mrs. Payne Whitney, Manhasset, L. L, Geo. Fergu-
son, gardener, also had a delightful garden, with a
central bed of Primula malacoides surrounded by a
pathway. On the outside was a border of white Roman
Hyacinths, Dicentra spectabilis, Spirseas, Daffodils and
Tulips, backed by masses of Rhododendrons, Azaleas
and other taller growing plants. It must be owned that
the private growers have done wonderful things in the
way of showing plants. They deserve far more credit
than we can give them in a report of this kind. Not
one brought a plant that he need be ashamed of and
some of their specimens were such as many a commer-
cial grower would give his eyes to handle.

The several collections of Amaryllis (strictly Hippeas-
trums) are truly fine, although one must own that the
displays are lacking in variety. Red shades predomi-
nate, indeed, very few other than rich crimsons are
to be seen, but for all that they are fine. In Azaleas of
the indica type, the private growers have for a certainty
the lead. The three plants in class 6 are truly grand.
The Cinerarias, both stellata and grandiflora types, too,
are remarkable for" their size and floriferousness. One
of these plants would fill many a florist's window.

We were pleased to note some specimen Heliotropes,
but they were not as good as we should have liked to
have seen them.

Primulas were simply great; finer examples of mala-
coides and obconica we have never seen, and the winner
of class 29 certainly had a strong pull with superb white
and mauve malacoides, red and pink obconica, and the
yellow Kewensis. Schizanthus, too, are superb ; mon-
ster plants and in good color, but we own to a prefer-

ce for the erect growing plants rather than those
: lined on low wire frames. We miglit add, too, that
i: would have liked to have seen a collection of modern
' brids grown in 4in. or 5in. pots. The colors to be
and in this bcautii'ul Butterfly Flower merits such a
llcclion, so that the public can realize that Schizan-
us is not necessarily a large growing plant with a
flited range of colors.

The display put up by the Department of Parks, N. Y.,
inimissioner Francis Gallatin, is one of the features
• the show. Tall palms and ferns including the weird
atjcerum. mounted on a pillar, serve as a foil for
,' masses of .Azaleas, Lilies and Cinerarias. Daffodils
d Hyacinths serve to (Inish off the group, which is of
nsiderable dimensions. .Another specially good exhibit
e the beautifully massed Crotons, Dracaenas, Cala-
jms and other semi-tropical plants from the gardens
' Wm. B. Thompson. Yonkers, N. Y. Some of the
icst Crotons ever seen in New York are staged in
is group. The variety of color is magnificent.

Plant Exhibit of the Commercial Growers

The comniercial growers were not called upon to bring
rward so great a \'ariety, tint what they did show was
l^p hole." The new hybrid .Acacia Sydney, shown by
>uis Dupu\-, W'hitestone. N. Y., is truly a golden
-iwcr. Madsen & Christensen of Woodridge, N. J.,
lother everything with their giant Marguerites. Bob-
ik & .Atkins of Rutherford, N. J., stage superb Lilacs,
they do .Astilbes, although the latter were scarcely at
l?ir full. Cyclamen, at this date, apparently are beyond
; commercial man, for the class was not filled. Pre-
mably. these plants have been such good sellers that
ne remain.

I Palms and Foliage Plants

■These are well represented. In the commercial classes
)bbink & Atkins have matters largely their own

'ly. It may be mentioned liere that this firm brought no

Jis than 35 loads of plants to the show.

(The private growers more keenly contested their

'isses, and some elegant examples of palms, Crotons and

jracasnas are to be seen. The group of foliage plants
iged by .Adolph Lewishon is superb, embracing as it
es Caladiums, Crotons, Dracaenas, Pandanus, etc. The

ily fault we have to find with this exhibit is that

I thing is named.

I Ferns

'"Magnificent" may be the word applied to the
^amples staged by the private growers in the competi-
,>ns. So far as we could trace, the commercial men
,iored showing specimens.

:,\. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., certainly make
i^reat effort with their collection, which embraces won-
'rful examples of Nephrolepis superbissima, Smithii,
.rrowsii, Verona, and elegantissima ; Polypodiums in
iriety, Adiantums, Cyrtomiums and Cibotiums.

! Bulboos Flowers

' Relegated to the upper floor, these bring out the
ifcest competition among private growers, so much
, that the plants had to be more closely packed than
I desirable. Whatever may be the matter with the
libs by the commercial forcers, there is no evidence
I trouble among the private growers' exhibits at the
Dw. Finer Hyacinths than these we have never seen —
d we have seen a few. Not a poor pan among a
ghty host, and yet many a man had to go away empty
[nded as to a prize. The whites, pinks, blues and
illows are truly tiptop. Particularly notable were the
\ rieties Correggio, white, Lady Derby and La Victoire,
ik, King of the Blues and Grand Maitre, blue, and
;tyof Haarlem, yellow.

The Tulips, both earlies and Darwins, were as fine as
[e could wish for at this date, while some of the
uffodils were real "corkers."

jit must be gratifying to any one interested in Daffo-
) s to know that certain growers are handling some of
i; newer sorts, although only trumpet varieties are to
noted. The monster flowers of Treasure, Herbert
nith, and Robt. Sydenham, are such as prove that
nperor and his ilk are left far behind. If one of these
hibitors could see fit to import a collection of real
todate sorts, embracing all the red cup Poets, the
t cup Engelheartii's, the Barrii's, as well as the Trian-
lus and trumpet sorts, a greater interest in these flow-
' ! would surely develop.

Freesias as shown, are superb, especially the white
irity, but the limit in competition is reached in the
'iss for twelve Lilies in pots. Fully a score of com-
: titers are chasing around for first place. Surely the
jdges had a task in the bulb classes. The tradesmen
I ire slack in showing bulbous plants.

' Orchids

; These provided a telling feature, yet not so good but
liat it might be improved. Julius Roehrs Co., Ruther-
trd, N. J., certainly make a striking display in class
1. Nicely set up, one notes Cymbidituns in great
riety, Brasso-Cattleya Langleyensis, Cattleya Empress

l*"rederick, Odontiodas Bictonensis and Piscatorii,
Ladio-Cattleyas in variety, Dendrobiums, .Angra;cuni
scsquipedale, etc. Joseph Manda Co., South Orange,
-N. J., alsr) makes a fine show with Cattleyas. Cypripe-
diiim.s. Odontiodas, Cymbidiimis and (Jncidiums.

In the smaller Kroups, the same firms are also ni>tal)le,
with excellent plants; Miltonias, Ccclogynes, Cattleyas
and Cypripediunis being prominent in the Knehrs dis-
play.

Tile well-known Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J., and
James B. Duke. Somerville, N. J., stage some beautiful
plants m smaller classes, l)ut specially interesting are
the new seedlings shijwn by the latter, several of which
gained special awards namely; Cymbidium Presidetit
\\'ilson, yellow and ])ink, silver medal; Odontioda
Brockenhurst Duke's Parte, orange red, S. M.; Odon-
tioda Brewii var. Pres. Harding, deep crimson, gold
medal; Odontioda Dulcies var. ilrs. J. B. Duke. S. M.
Julius Roehrs Co. show some pleasing Cattleya and
Lslio-Cattleya liybrids in class 220.

.A special award of a gold medal was given to an
enormous Cattleya seedling, named Clothe, var. General
Pershing. sln>wn by -A. N. Cooley of Pittsfield, Mass.
It bears one of the largest fluwers we have ever seen.

Roses in Pots and Tubs

These are not numerous and there are none new
other than Paul's Scarlet Climber. Louis Dupuy shows
this in good form but it seems shy of opening more than
one flower in each truss at one time. For color it cer-
tainly is striking. Bobbink & Atkins show this variety
strongly in their trade group. Tausendschoen and
Dorothy Perkins are still the popular favorites for
forcing.

The private groups of Roses on the upper floor are
decidedly good, especially the standard "Tausendschoen
and Dorothy Perkins.

Cut Flowers

These were not numerous on the opening day, but
special mention should be made of the cut orchids.
Joseph Manda Co. has on view an excellent collection
of Cattleyas, Cypripediums, Ccelogyne cristata and Cym-
bidiums, while A. N. Cooley has a delightful little ex-
hibit, mostly Cattleyas.

The private growers came out strongly with miscel-
laneous flowers and the Antirrhinums are truly a sight
for ennuyed eyes, as are the Callas and Stocks. Finer
spikes of Beauty of Nice, Queen .Alexandra and Mauve
Queen Stocks it would be impossible to conceive. As
for Mignonette, this rivals the Delphinium for length of
.spike ; the stems are like telegraph poles.

Amaryllis, also, are well shown, while a vase or two
of Anthuriums lend quaintness to the display.

Freesias and Violets are well represented and some
good Tulips are shown, while among shrubs, one notes
grand vases of Forsythia.

Wallflowers, double as Roses are splendidly shown.

Interesting is the new Freesia General Pershing shown

by S. S. Skidelsky & Co., rich lemon and pink, it is
most attractive, while it possesses a powerful perfume.
.A new Snapdragon shown by Ma.x Schling is de-
cidedly good. We have seen this shade of terra cotta
pink in the hall dwarf type but not in the tall .section
to which this ntjveUy belongs. The same exhibitor
shows a bowl of De Wet Tulips growing in water.
For color, size and general well being, no Tulips in the
show surpass these.

The Gardens Feature

It the committee had achieved absolutely nothing else
than the instituiton of this class, at that it would more
than repay for the labor put into the show. In them-
selves, these gardens and the various trade displays that
help fill the main hall, are more than worth the en-
trance fee asked. Anyone desiring to gain a few
pointers on the art of garden making, can gather them
here.

No two are alike and. of course, it is for each indi-
vidual to decide what most closely follows the schedule
which calls fur the development of a garden, covering
1000 sq. ft. It goes without saying that the judges of
this class had a task and, it is likewise readily under-
stood that their decision does not agree with all others
but the fact remains that when put to the vote the
judges decided by seven to one in favor of the bulb
garden, staged by John Scheepers, Inc., New York, does
not give one much reason for doubt as to its merit.

John Scheepers, Inc. Garden

-A garden it is, complete in itself, although not ap-
plicable to the ordinary garden plot that the average
commuter has under his control. Strictly formal in
design, it may be classed as one of a series, such as one
may find on a large estate. Tall Cedars form the back-
ground on two sides, while those bordering on the ave-
nues are finished oflf with a low Yew hedge, which
permits spectators to obtain a full view. One gentle-
man, in his desire to point out the effectiveness of this
garden, urged that I should view it from the balcony
but, I explained, such a view was a false one, as when
viewing gardens proper, I did not hire an airplane for
the purpose. From my point of vantage the exhibit
looked good and I was content to view it from this
angle. Actually, the garden is a bulb garden, set ofif by
banks of evergreens, flowering white Cherries, Lilacs,
Wistarias, Forsythias and Thorns. Fronting these is
one continuous array of Darwin Tulips of every shade.

A white chip path separates the borders from the
central la\yn with its sprinkling fountain and numeroiis
Ijeds of blue Hyacinths, blue Pansies and Daffodils.
Very dwarf golden Privet serves as an edging for the
borders, while small specimen Box are stationed at
prominent points. The effect is decidedly good and the
stone seat and statue are quite in keeping with the
quietude one would expect to find in such a garden.

inches across and frequently over 5 inches. The color is rich shell-pink, similar in shade but more
decided than the late-branching. The center petals are prettily incurved, while the wide outer petals

New Red Aster "Sensation

This is the reddest of all Red Asters, the color being a rich garnet or ox blood red which gli teas

double flowers, averaging 3,'-2 inches across, are borne freely on stems a foot long from early in August
till the close of September. The intense color shows up well when cut, and makes a very brilliant bit
of color in a bed or border. 50c. per tr. pkt., S2.50 per oz.

New York Seed Trade

Counter Trade

Counter sales in the seed stores of
this city are coining into full swing this
week. The customers in large numbers are
lined up along the counters, some with
orders to be filled on the spot, others
leaving long "to be called for" or "to be
shipped" lists. The demand for Pea,
Beet, Spinach, Lettuce, Cabbage, Cauli-
tiower. Chard, Radish and even for the
early hardier varieties of Snap Bean seed,
and for Onion sets is quite heavy. Seed
Potatoes, too, are moving well.

Mail Orders

The mail order business is still go-
ing strong. These orders usually com-
prise the full needs for the season of both
vegetable and flower seeds. As there are
few shortages this year, except those
caused by delayed arrivals of flower seed
from Europe, seedsmen are able to fill
most of these mail orders and also their
travelers' orders in full.

Bulbs and Roots

The supply of bulbs and roots on
sale is quite comprehensive, including in
the flower section Gladioli, Tuberose,
Calediimi, Canna, Peony and Dahlia; in
the vegetable section Rhubarb and As-
paragus.

Nursery Stock

In this branch of the business little
is offered so far, except Pose bushes.
Privet and evergreen trees. The old time
pre-Quarantine shrubs and trees, such as
Rhododendrons, tender and hardy Azaleas,
Magnolias, etc., are entirely missing.
Easter plants are not yet in evidence
either in seed stores or auction rooms,
but a supply of these will be on sale
next week.

Max Schling

Calling at Max Schling's seed store
recently we found Carl Geissler, the ener-
getic manager of this store and his force
of helpers filling a veritable deluge of
mail orders, and attending to an active
counter demand. The arrival of three
large shipments of flower seed by parcel
post from Europe last week completed,
Mr. Giessler said, the list of flower seeds
for the season's requirements. The vol-
ume of business so far is reported to be
much ahead of last year's at this time.
This store has advertised freely the "Blue
Lace Flower" and as a result, its average
daily calls for this flower are about 500
packets.

M. Aronowitz, proprietor of the Bar-
clay Nursery, 60 Barclay st., who has been
severely afflicted with rheumatism for sev-
eral months past, being much of this time
in the hospital for special treatment, has
sufficiently recovered so that he is able
to be part of each day at his place of
business again.

Burnett Bros.' store at 92 Chambers st.
as in past years during the flower show
week, has been the rendevous for garden-
ers in the city attending the great Inter-
national Flower Show at the Grand Cen-
tral Palace.

Dean and Campkin is the title of a new
firm which started in the seed trade line
this city, this week, with offices on the
sixth floor (elevator) of the Nelson build-
ing, at 19 Park pi. David A. Dean was
the first man to travel for the A. T. Bod-
dington Co., of New York, and had been
connected with that house until a few
days ago, on and off for the past 10 years.
Alfred G. Campkin had also been con-
nected with A. T. Boddington Co., for
practically the sam.e length of time. The
new firm will deal exclusively in seeds
and bulbs.

Chicago Seed Trade

It was with much regret that the seed
trade and other friends learned of the
death of W. W. Barnard on Thursday
morning at Los Angeles, Cal., where he
was spending the Winter. While Mr.
Barnard had been in poor health for
some time his death came entirely un-
expected. It was only on the Tuesday
previous that his sister, Mrs. E. G. Howe,
and her son, Ralph B., started for Los
Angeles to visit Mr. Barnard when tid-
ings of his death were received in Chi-
cago. Mr. Howe was reached by wire at
Argentia, Kansas, and returned immedi-
ately to Chicago, reaching here Saturday
morning.

At Henderson's Seed Store the few
warm days have caused a material im-
provement in business. There is a large
improvement ovet this time one year ago.
The present tendency to buy is regarded
as the forerunner of a good season. In-
deed, many things point to the fact that
this will be a banner season. People in
good circumstances who are willing to em-
ploy garden labor can now get all they
want at reasonable rates. A few years
ago it was impossible to secure this labor
at a price that would justify for suCh
work.

Lilium regale, otherwise known as the
Regal Lily is coming into much promi-
nence in the Northwest. It is ^stated that
a firm in St. Paul has gro^vn this plant
in its nursery for a few seasons with such
success that it has sufficient bulbs of its
o^vn raising to provide several hundred
plants coming into bloom for Easter in its
greenhouses. A large stock of this variety
was formerly controlled by a Bo.ston
firm, but is now getting into wider dissemi-
nation. It is to the interest of Lily
growers to keep their eyes on this va-
riety.

Vaughan's Seed Store continues to re-
ceive new arrivals of flower seeds from tho
world's best growers. All the difficulties
in getting seeds from abroad of the past
few years have been removed, making all
lines complete and up to date. Lawn
grass seed is featured as a specialty in
the advertising of this house in the daily
papers. "Chicago Parks' Lawn Seed" is
the brand offered and the public is advised
to plant now and let the Spring rains
wash the seed in.

It will be noted that three prominent
seedsmen passed away in the first two
weeks of the present month; namely. Ed. C.
Dungan of Philadelphia, John Lewis
Childs of Floral Park, N. Y., and W. W.
Barnard of Chicago.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co.,
who is now in California, is sending
home good reports of the progress being
made out there in the growing of Iris
tingitana for American trade. Previous
to the rulings of Quarantine 37 this stock
was imported freely and when forced met
with much favor with the buyers on the
Chicago wholesale market. From present
prospects, in another season, the market
will again be well supplied, but with
American grown stock.

Louisville Seed Trade

Seedsmen report that demand for
flower, vegetfible and field seeds is pick-
ing up, and that many retailers are now
reordering in larger lots. Mild weather
is all that is needed to make things hiun.

Blue grass has been firm throughout
.the season, the jobbing prices being
around $25 to $26 per 100 for 211b. seed,
with 191b. seed at a little under that
figure. Orchard grass has been in only
fair demand, and is quoted at around $2
a bushel.

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

The Old World must
have an idea that money
is found on the streets
here in America. Our
good natured, genial
Uncle Samuel is now even
being asked to cancel the
enormous debts owed him
by some European pow-
ers, when we, ourselves,
are at our wit*s ends how
to meet the obligations,
running into the billions,
facing us. The Dutch-
men evidently share the
same view j udging the
prices they charged us
for bulbs last year, which
they blandly admit doing
so to recoup their losses.
All seem to expect that
America is to bear the
world's burdens. The
sooner we proclaim to all
that every debt owing us
must be paid dollar for
dollar, the better it will
be in helping to revive
the Elastic Dollar so
much in evidence years
ago but which of late
seems to have shrunken.
But everything is going
to come out right, so be
prepared. Place your
orders for the dependable
Horseshoe Brand Dutch,
French and particularly
Lily Bulbs with us now
for coming season.

Flower Seeds for Tibet

The British, who have succeeded in
gaining recognition in that hitherto inac-
cessible country, Tibet, are apparently
carrying their love of flowers with them.
Reports state that the holy Dalai Lama of
Lhassa, has expressed a desire to become
acquainted with the flowers as grown in
British gardens and, the British officer on
duty in Tibet, has sent an order to Sutton
& Sons, for a collection of their famous
seeds in order that his holiness may grati-
fy his wishes.

^lew Giant Non-Lateral

New Introductions of Exceptional Merit

I By crossing the tall growing non-lateral American
''Beauty with some of the finer types of the Crego

:lass, an Aster with the type of Crego and Peony

flowers and with a non-lateral branching stem was

iccured. These Asters attain a height of some

3 feet and the long stems are surmounted by flowers

jf ultra-refined Crego and Peony flowered types.

The size of the flowers is phenomenal. The fact

that these Asters are without laterals causes an

unbroken sap flow from the base to the one flower

it the terminal, thereby accounting for their im-
imense size.

CREGO TYPE

Peach Blossom Pink. A superb Aster with blos-
soms of the most ultra-refined Crego type, the
petals being beautifully twisted and interlaced,

. borne singly on rigid, upright stems. The plants

i attain a height of 23^ to 3 feet.

rOark Rose. A tall growing variety, in color a deep
rich rose. Flowers of enormous size, wavy in

i outline.

i Light Blue. An exact replica of Peach Blossom as
regards form, size and character of growth, with an
exquisite tone of color.
Purple.

) Price, any of above:

I Trade pkt. $2.00, M oz. $2.50.

! PEONY-FLOWERED TYPE

|Peach Blossom Pink. This new Aster differs from the
j Crego type in the fact that the petals instead of being
1 curled and wavy-like are regular in their outline.

Easter Suggestions

It's going to be a busy week, the one
joming; be aure to provide a eliady place
of the rambler Roses^ Liliea and Hy-
Irangeas. Shade and coolness will keep
nost plants sufficiently advanced in best
edition. In a hot sunny house, things
lOOD go to pieces. When you sell a plant
n the store or show house for later de-
ivery, don't let it remain among the other
itoek, label it properly atid remove it.
4ere again a cool place is wanted; the
ilant has to be at it's best for Easter
Sunday. Don't overlook the staking of
arpe Hyacinths when they just start into
[)loom it doesn't look as if they ever would
•e in need of stakes but, in a hot residence,
:lio spikes soon become long and weak,
in J are unable to hold up the flowers.
The same with Liliea and Hydrangeas;
take time to stake them. Be sure you
lui\e a tag on the Hydrangeas on. which
ire printed directions in regard to water-
ing the plants every day. See to it your-
self that they don't suffer while in your
hands; a wilted Hydrangea makes a poor
3how plant.

Late Petonias

The main rush for bedding stock is
around Memorial Day; it is the time when
everybody buys and, the quicker we get
rid of everything the better, yet with the
local florist, the late comers have to be
considered. Some will keep on sowing
away into July for plants, to be used in
beds or porch boxes and nothing you can
grow is easier or, for which there is a
better demand than Petunias. Any of
them, single or double. The large single
fringed or ruffled ones of course are to be
preferred for bos planting. The first
sown or propagated stock by this time is

wt'll established in 2\-j'ii and, with a shift
right after Eastor, will make fine plants
in 4*8 by the middle of May. Right now
is n good time to sow another batch of
seed for plants to flower and be at their
best during June. You want a bushy,
well branched plant in a 4in. pot in full
bloom; such as will make a show with-
out having to wait any length of time.
Don't grow your plants too warm; a 60
deg. house for stock in pots is sujfticient
and will help to make for stocky plants.
They will get tall enough during a week
or two of hot weather in early May.

Scabiosas

Among the annuals you can always
recommend Scabiosa as one of the beat
for cutting. It flowers all Summer
long and keeps well when cut. Scabiosas
come in beautiful shades and with their
long stems, can even be used to advantage
by the florist. In order to obtain large
plants by the middle of May, sow seed
now, and pot the seedlings up into 2^'s
later on. By the end of May, plant out a
good batch about 12in. apart and provide
each plant with a good stake.

Salpiglossis

This is another popular cut flower dur-
ing Summer and you are bound to have
calls for plants next May. While you can
sow seed right outdoors the same as with
practically all other annuals, by planting
out 2%in. stock the end of May, you will
cut flowers so much earlier. As people
get more acquainted with some of these
annuals, they will look to the florist to
supply the plants in Spring and there is
every bit as much of a margin of profit
in growing them as anything else, but
you should try and have heavy plants,
better than those from a hotbed.

Outdoor Roses

From now on, dormant bench grown
Roses are offered which, if cut back to
about lOin. potted up into 5'b and placed
in a coldframe, will make fine stock for
planting out. Almost any of the hybrid
Teas make good Summer bloomers, start
early and keep it up imtil killed by frost.
Plants which, by the end of May, have
made 3in. of new growth, will flower from
the middle of June on. Don't be afraid
to tell your customers that these Roses
are not very hardy and only with care-
ful protection will out-Winter when the
thermometer goes down near zero or under,
but that with just a little care, they will
more than pay for themselves the first
Summer. When you pot the dormant
stock, cut the small weak growth out clean
and pack the soil around the roots as
firmly as the pot will stand for. Don't
make the mistake in starting them inside
for that would produce a soft growth,
right the opposite from what you want.
In a coldframe, they will root first, which
is the proper thing, before they start to
break.

Hydrangeas

This is a good time to root cuttings of
Hydrangeas, with them, as so many
other plants, a little bottom heat will do
wonders. On most plants you will find
breaks from the base which make the best
cuttings. You can either grow the plants
on in pots, or plant them into the field
to be lifted nest Fall There is an ever
increasing demand for Hydrangeas and es-
pecially for the many beautiful French
sorts which come in all colors and shades.

Genistas

The Ocnietas, while beautiful plants
when in flower at this time of the year,
are not very satisfactory house plants,
but for all that, one should still grow
them; we can dispose of great nun^ers
around Easter. If you have plants left
on hand not sold, don't throw them away;
all they need is to be carried along in a
cool house till May, after that they should
have a good shearing, be shifted into
larger pots and, during Summer, plunge
the pots up to their rims outdoors in a
coldframe, but don't neglect watering.

Vincas

From now on, is the time the Viucaa
will make their main growth; give them
all the encouragement you can, let them
have a fair sized i)ot and good soil; they
need food and plenty of water. Plants
which have stood still all Winter, will
from now on, move no matter in what
house you have them, but in order to have
them do their beat, a houae of 55 deg. is
not too high. Still time to make cuttings
and the same holds good with English
Ivies.

Cannas

Don't put the starting of Cannas off
any longer, for you want good sized stock
by the middle to end of May. Always
make use of buttom heat if you want good
results with the eyes. If left in pots or flats
without heat from below, they will lay for
weeks before starting into growth and
many will rot. With 70 deg. or so, new
growth will appear in a couple of weeks.
Another mistake to be avoided is not pot-
ting the plants up when ready; the sooner
this is done the better and quicker they
become established. A crowded condition
in flats does the plants no good.

Purple Carnation Seedling

I have a seedling Carnation which I
raised two years ago from a cross between
Matchless and Princess Dagmar. When
it opens, it is the same color as Dagmar,
but in a day or so, it begins to change
color to a pretty tint of purple and re-
mains so. What do you think is the cause
of it acting that way, and do you think
this would take on the market? It has
the same habit as Princess Dagmar but
has the form of Matchless.

Last season I crossed it with Matchless
and the result is, white backgroimd with
blotches of purple evenly marked on all
petals? — E. L., Conn.

— It is scarcely possible to form judg-
ment on a flower one has never seen. We
have our doubts about a Carnation that
opens crimson and changes to purple. Such
a color in Carnation will certainly never
become a commercial favorite. As to the
reason; it merely shows that either
Matchless or Princess Dagmar or both
have factors for purple so that when the
two were brought together it came out.
What other colors did you get? The sec-
ond cross may be interesting, but flakes
are not in great demand. Maybe, if you
keep inter-crossing these seedlings the
crimson tint will slip away and leave you
with a beautiful blue. When that hap-
pens, give us the option of purchase.

Easter Prospects Good

Mrs. Moore, (The People's Florist)
reports that business has been good and
that the prospects are fine for Easter. On
Mar. 1 Mrs. Moore entertained the mem-
bers of the F. T. D., acting as chairman
of convention committee to dinner. Fol-
lowing the dinner a meeting was held to
discuss, the organization of the members
outside of Toronto. In order to facilitate
this organization and because the mem-
bers could not be very well brought to-
gether, W. W. Gammage of London was
asked to take the chairmanship of t!he
Canadian members outside Toronto. Mem-
bers in each district were asked to act

as local chairmen and all florists will be ^
interested in the coming Canadian conven-
tion of the F. T. D. Committees are wait-
ing for the F. T. D. executive to have
their meeting and decide on a three days*
session in Toronto. Messrs. Dillemuth,
Geraghty, Higgins, Waters and Simmons
will attend the meeting to urge a three-
days' convention. There will also be repre-
sentatives from other cities.

Toronto members are running adver-
tisements in the F. T. D. paper, stating
that "Canada and Toronto Expect You."

Dunlops, Ltd., have bdcn busy. G. M.
Geraghty states that stock is coming in
finely and that there will be lots for
Eaater which promises to surpass pre-
vious years. This week they have a very
beautifully decorated window. In the fore-
ground and back for about 6ft. are ar-
ranged orchids, Lily of the Valley, Vio-
lets, etc. Back of them were yellow Tu-
lips and Daffodils. The background was
of inmaense Azaleas from the conserva-
tories at Richmond Hill. All were ar-
ranged on a ground of green velvet.

J. J. Higgins is showing some excep-
tionally fine Fire Flame Azaleas and some
large Rhododendrons. A little baby girl
has come to stay at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Higgins.

Grobba is delivering some exceptionally

food stock in the city consisting of
^aleas, white and colored Freesia, Spirsea,
etc. He is shipping Freeaia and Lily of
the Valley to New York. He haa also
arranged to have three regular trips made
to Hamilton. One day last week he sent a
whole truckload to London with flowers
for the West Floral Co. (Emery B.
Hamilton.)
Good Tear for Shamrocks

F. Saunders has a fine window dis-
play of Shamrock for which there is an
excellent demand this year.

Simmons & Son have a large number of
decoration jobs for March 17, among them
being the store of Ryrie Bros., Toronto's
Tiffany. For this week they have a very
large green harp, the full size of one of
the windows and are showing some fine
Carnations and Sweet Peas from their
own greenhouses at Brampton.

G. W. Warren has a large harp in the
window. Mounted on it are birds hold-

ing in their bills cards inscribed "Say it
with Flowers." The window display con-
tains some Pansies as large as the largest
tea cup. Sweet Alyssum, Rosea and the
usual Spring flowers.

Canada at Large

E. B. Hamilton of the West Floral
Co. entertained his staff at dinner and
a theatre party recently.

Herman Choning, 6500 Western ave.,
Notre Dame de Grace, Montreal, florist,
was found dead in his stable on the morn-
ing of March 3 by a neighbor. He leaves
a widow and four children.

The greenhouses near Hamilton such as
those of Marshall Bros., Sones & Sons,
G. T. Sones, J. W. Beaumont, W. H.
Gray, W. Holden and Sawell are all looking
fine and will have a g6od stock for Easter,
including Spireeas, Azaleas, Cyclamen, Be-
gonias, Primulas, etc.

Mr. Asselmann of Montreal has been
confined to the hospital for some time.

The Montreal Floral Exchange is now
handling in the neighborhood of 10,000
Sweet Peas daily. G. C. K.

Montreal, Que.

The Market

Business continues to be fairly good.
The absence of wedding orders has some-
what been relieved by funeral orders.
Stock, especially Roses, is more plentiful.
The growers from now on will try to
hold back all the stock possible for Easter
trade. Reports from the various growers
indicate that Easter Lilies will not be a
glut on the market. Hopes are entertained
that we have a continuance of bright
weather to help the stock along.

Xews Notes

The Montreal Gardeners ?nd Flo-
rists Club on Monday, March 7, staged a
successful Spring show. In the bulb sec-
tion the new varieties of Daffodils were
highly conunended; in fact, a Dutch
grower who was at the show said he had
never seen better grown Daffodils even
in Holland. Some of the successful ex-
hibitors included: McKenna, Ltd.; Wil-
shire Bros., Hall & Robinson, R. Scottj
Mr. Jones of MacDonald College, St.
Anns; J. Luck, John Eddy & Son, B,
Scott, Joseph Bennett and Mr. Neilson.
Several short speeches were made by
members of the club, all regretting the
limited space available for the exhibi-
tion. It was suggested that an appeal be
made to one of the large department
stores for space to exhibit in future shows
like the one staged.

A vote of sympathy to the wife and
family of our late member, H. J. Sehoning,
was proposed by John Walsh and taken
standing by those present. On Tuesday,
March 8, a large number of members of
the club attended the funeral of the de-
ceased and much sympathy was expressed
to the wife and four young children who
are left to fight life's battle alone. The
funeral took place from the home of the
deceased, Notre Dame de Grace to Cfites
dea Neiges Cemetery, a number of floral
tributes being placed on the casket.

Miss Amy Campbell of Campbells, Ltd.,
is reported very sick. Hopes are enter-
tained for a speedy recovery.

Southeastern Express Co.

Inauguration of service over the lines
of the Southern Eailway Sj-stem by the
Southeastern Express Co., which ivas an-
nounced for March 15, has been postponed
imtil May I, this additional time being re-
quired for the procurement of equipment,
ment.

Improvement in Postal Service
Promised

Every effort vrill be made to improve
the postal service, according to Postmaster
General Will H. Hays. No attempt will
be made to run the postal service for

E refit, but neither will he permit it to
e used for politics. His ami will be to
attain the maximum of service with the
least cost to the public and the best pos-
sible working conditions for the employees.
One of the problems to be taken up by the
new administration is that of furnishing
the business men of the country with
better service. It is planned materially
to improve and expand the parcel post
service, and efforts will also be made to
bring the handling of first class mail to
the maximum of efficiency.

Agricultural Dept. Grounds to be
Parldike

A number of changes have been made
in the grounds of the Agricultural De-
partment, as a result of which the park
will, in the near future, become one of
the show places of Washington, Sixtv-
five large arc lights have been installed
and about 100 new benches will be placed
along the walks. The flooding of the
grounds with light each night has already
attracted large numbers of persons. The
work of getting the grounds in shape for
the Spring and Summer has been started
and_ the customary formal and old-
fashioned gardens are now being arranged
Many shrubs on the grounds are already
in bloom, and the large beds of Spring
bulbs — Tulips, Hyacinths and Narcissi —
the Pansies and other early blooming
plants are beginning to flower out.

The annual Amaryllis show has been
opened, and is declared to be the biggest
show of its sort ever given in the country.
Plans of the department called for the
official opening of the show by the new
Secretary of Agriculture, Henry C. Wal-

bers and their wive.s, was invited to be

There are 1050 Amaryllis plants in the
show this year, with between 4000 and
5000 blooms, about twice as large a num-

The Daily Market Report

The daily market report prepared by
the Bureau of Markets of the Department
cit Agriculture is now being sent out by
wireless telegraph from the laboratory of
the Bureau of Standards of the Depart-
ment of Commerce. The report is sent
out at 5 o'clock every afternoon, except
Sundays and holidays. It gives prices
and market conditions of seeds, fruit
vegetables, meats, etc., of the principal
markets in the country. This service was
started as an experiment to determine
whether the distribution of market news
by radio could be conducted in a satis-
factory manner. If successful, it is prob-
able that this experimental service will
be extended by the transmission of mar-
ket news by radio from several other sta-
tions, including some in the mid-Western
states. Eventually, it is planned to have
the entire country receive these reports
by wireless. E. A D

The Market

March 15. — The wholesale market
has the "two weeks before" look and is just
about normal. Very few flowers went to
The Street last week: iu fact stock cleaned
up fairly well on Saturdaj-. There were
plenty of .Southern Narcissi and Jonquils on
the throughfares, and some other stock, too,
but as a rule, very little from the wholesale
folks.

This week there are plenty of flowers and
a weak market, but prices are holding up
well considering. Men who watch the mar-
ket, are predicting plent\- of cut flowe" stock.
Plants in some lines will be shy, but the
bulbous stocks will be about right.' Many are
hoping that the Southern Jonquil will
have spent its income before Easter week.
Roses and Carnations will be in heavj- supply,

judging from present indications. Sweet
Peas are holding their own and the stock
will be fine and plentiful. O-chids, Valley
and Gardenias will be in the best of shape.
The local Cattleya supply will be heavy.
Mr. Siegwart for one has many thousands of
blooms in sight.

Violets will be the problem. Some of the
houses will not handle doubles at all, and
some of the retailers, too, are keeping off
this stock. In single Violets the outlook
is also discouraging. This warm spell is
affecting the size and color, even now. In
. the small flower section there will be the
usual supply of Calendulas, Mignonette,
Pansies, Daisies and Primulas, while a good
offering of Snapdragon may be expected.
Smilas is reported scarce this week. As-
paragus and ail other greens are plentiful.
Florists* Club of Baltizaore

There was a large and enthusiastic
attendance at the regular monthly meeting
of the Club at the Rooms in the Royal
Arcanum Bldg., last Monday evening. Mar.
14. Pres. Robert L. Graham, Jr. called the
members to order promptly' and the usual
early routine was put through. Under the
head of Election of New Members three
candidates were put over, and Charles F.
Jones, Supt. of Parks, P. H. "Williams, and
Harry Beard are now our brethren. Con-
siderable time and much discussion was given
to the proposed assistance to be given by the
Club to the coming great Flower Mart,
which is staged each year about the Washing-
ton monument. Pres. Graham and H. Clay
Primrose spoke most earnestly in behalf of
this wonderful flower fete. At 9 o'clock the
ladies of the ^\'oman's Ci\'ic League were
announced and given a most attentive hear-
ing while Miss Turnbull and Airs. AVorthing-
ton asked for cooperation and support. The
matter was then tabled and will be given
special attention at the next regular meeting.
Under reports of outstanding Committees
the "Say it with Flowers" week chairman
gave a glowing report on good progress.
Joseph S. Merritt, then read E. G. Hill's
letter of acceptance, in which the great
rosarian promised to speak before the Club's
next regular meeting. Joe says look out for
the largest and most enthusiastic meeting
of the Clans, in the history of the Club. Un-
doubtedlj', the entertainment committee has
achieved great successes during the past
year, and once more unlimited credit must
be given these boys for obtaining Mr. Hill's
consent to be with us and speak on Roses.
Immediately after adjoiornment the mem-
bers slated for The International Flower
Show in New York make tracks for the sta-
tion and were aU aboard the "Say it with
Flowers" special in short order. Among
them were Pres. Robt. L. Graham, Jr.,
John M. Rider, Wm. G. Lehr, James Glass,
Chas. M. AVagner, Fied C. Bauer and Will
Baeur. Robert AA . Johnston could not go
with the bunch but left on an early train
Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Johnston
and Miss Margaret Graham went over on
Wednesday morning. A\ m. and Charles F.
Feast planned to go Thursday and George
Morrisson, George Black and many other
members will attend before Sunday.

P- S. — Telegram just received from Presi-
dent Graham in New York says "Finest
ever."

Mostly About Easter

At Sam'l Feast and Sons the Easter
stock was never more complete or of bet-
ter quality. Probably the Azaleas this
year are the most highly prized stock on
the place. In the Indica types there is a
hea\T supply in numerous varieties. The
Hinodigiri and amcena types are wonder-
fully well set. The stock of Spirsea
Gladstone and Queen Alexandra is
equally well done. Mr. Feast is fortunate
in having such a large number of the two
mo.st valuable Easter plants, for Azaleas
and Spirseas are almost unknown quanti-
ties in the states this year. Lilies here
are timed almost to the minute and in
pot Hoses, the Rambler types are perfect
specimens as are Lilacs, pan Lilies of the
A'alley, and a full line of bulbous stock in
pans. Speaking of Leptosyne Stillmanii
Mr. Feast said the tryout had been most
satisfactory, and that it was of very free
habit and a splendid keeper. As a Win-
ter cut flower, he thinks it has come to
stay.

George Black, whose well known skill
and artistry has been the cause and effect
of many large society decorations this past
Winter, is looking forward to Easter in
the true optimistic vein.

His Formosum Lilies were never better
and his heavy crop of Callas is just right.

ilauy church decorations make up the
heavy end of the Easter business with this
long estaljlished firm.

J. J. Cummings, Jif., reports a heavy
crop of Columbia and Ophelia Roses right

and ready for Easter. Carnations, too,
are in the best of shape. Only white and
Enchantress Supreme are gro^^-n here, but
they are fine. About 2000 Cineraria plants
are in prime condition. Joe says the ad-
vance orders at the store are very gratify-
ing.

Frank J. Riha of Overlea, Md., who re-
cently bought the Wm. F. Keys, Sr.,
greenhouses has been shipping to 'The Leo
Niessen Co. some extra fancy Sweet Peas.
His Calendula Orange King and Lemon
Queen have also been top grade.

Mary Patterson Johnston has the usual
heavy bookings of Easter church decora-
tions and reports many advance orders on
plants and cut flowers.

L. H. A. Klein of Towson has his
Easter stock moving along nicely. His
large stocks of Cinerarias, Geraniums,
Lilies, Daisies, Primulas and Hyacinths
are all in excellent condition.

The greenhouses of John Cook are filled
to overflowing with beautifully grown
and well timed Easter stock. The French
Hydrangeas this year are especially
worthy of note, with their perfect colors
and graceful shapes. In Lilies Mr. Cook
la partial to formosum this season, and
the single plants and made up pans were
never finer. Rambler Roses, Genistas,
Primulas, large Azaleas flowered each
year for special church decorations and
an immense stock of bulbous flowers form
the bulk of the plants that will adorn
the store during the Easter rush. But
plant baskets will also this year be a tell-
ing feature.

We asked Herman about the Violet out-
look. He thinks if this soft, warm weather
continues, Violets will be hard to handle.
He is booking most of the corsage orders
with Orchids, and Gardenias.
Matters Soxnewbat Personal

Ward Perry's crownless old straw
hat, so familar about the S. S. Pennock
Co. establishment, has been replaced by
a new one, bedecked with flowers.

Wm. Patterson, Sr., of Ready ave., has
been indoors for some time suffering from
an attack of grippe. He is, however, im-
proving each day.

The members of the Florist Club of
Baltimore are looking forward to a most
delightful and instructive lecture, inas-
much as E. Gumey Hill has promised to
be with us nest meeting night, and to
speak on '"Roses I Have Met At Home
and Abroad." This will be "an occasion"
in florist circles, as well as a great treat
to our amateur Rose loving friends.

Robert W. Johnston was on the sick
list Simday with a severe cold.

John W. Wagner & Sons say they are
very busy with landscape work.

George A. Eberle sure made a big hit
with the Executive Committee of last
year's Flower Mart. The ladies insist
upon his being on the Club's staff of
workers this season. George is rushed
getting his plant and cut flower reserva-
tions booked for the holidays. He is
handling more plants at the store than
ever.

Dennis Connor, of The Lord and Burn-
ham Co., was in town Saturday.

Charles L. Seybold, former superinten-
dent of Carroll Park, Baltimore, but now
director and superintendent of the Park
system at Wikes-Barre, Pa., and Mrs.
Seybold, were in town on Saturday, on
their honeymoon.

We understand that the wedding took
place in Washington on Thursday, March
10. Mr. and Mrs. Seybold will make an
extended tour of the East before going
home. Best wishes and con^atulations
from all their old Baltimore friends.

More Schools — More Flowers

It will be of interest to the trade
to know that the citizens of Atlanta have
voted overwhelmingly for a bond issue of
eight and a half million dollars, the major
portion of which is to be used in building
new schools. The love and care of flow-
ers is taught in practically all of the
grades, and nearly all the rooms have
flower boxes, many of which are a credit
to both teacher and pupils. It is difficult
to estimate the benefit that the florist
trade thus derives directly and indirectly
from the public schools.

Mr. Ralph Deans has moved to his new
quarters in the Howard Theatre building
on Peachtree st., where he is much better
equipped to handle his growing trade.

The building, which has lately been [.
pleted, is one of the most beautiful in ;
country, and is situated in the biu ij
part of the city. We believe that :-.
Deans' new stand will be a great asse j
the development of his business.

Atlanta now boasts possession of a \f
florist, for Mrs. Anschutz, who for sev ,\
years has conducted a flower departu I't
in the McClure store, has opened a ni f
equipped store in The Arcade, imder tg
name of The Anschutz Nurseries. f
greenhouses are at Decatur, Ga., and ■*
has been successful in the growing as ■ •}
as the selling end of the business. V i
her reputation as a hustler we have e\ .-
reason to anticipate for her a succes 1
career. B. W. t

Louisville and Southern Indiana flori
were present at the monthly meeting
the Kentucky Society at the Kunzma

lished a clearing house for the growe*
with August R. Baumer of Louiavi
to look after the Kentucky side, and K.:
Gueltig, the New Albany side. Growi
who are long on any one line of plan
cut flowers, etc., will list with these t
men, who will compare notes. Whene^
a retailer wants something, and does^
know where to locate it, he will be al
to call on one of these two men for
formation. This will aid both the :
tailer and grower.

The April meeting of the Kentucky f
ciety will be held at the Watrerson E
tel, along with a light luncheon, serv
about 7 p.m.

G. B. Thompson & Co. furnished
quantity of cut flowers this week f
aviators at Camp Knox, 40 miles frc
Louis\ille, for iise in connection with t
funeral of two fliers, who were killed
a falling plane. The flowers were droppi
by members of the aerial detachment, wl
flew about over the line of march. Ti
funeral procession was composed of co!
panics of the artillery and aerial units,
firing squad and field artillery band. Ril
volleys were fired for each qf the dec
aviators, and as the train, which was '
take the bodies to the homes of the fliei
pulled out of the station, the bugle:
sounded "taps."

Kentucky florists in the years to con
will probably have a real place to exhibi
as the Kentucky State Fair Associatic
has broken ground for a $300,000 built
ing, 200ft. X 400ft., with a balcony f<
merchants,' manufacturers' and agricu
tural displays. H. M. Froman, in charE
of flowers and plants at the fair ground
states that the interior of this buildin
will be especially attractive and, in fac
the prettiest around the grounds.

jilnjoyable Tour of Interesting Places

The Florists and Gardeners Club
leld another successful field day on Wed-

■^f^ay -March 9, making a tour of some
3t the leading commercial places around
the city. The starting point was the store
;if the E. C. Ludwig Floral Co., N-orth
■Mde. -n-here each member of the party in
all mimbering about 50, was presented bv
t C. Ludwig with a white Carnation.
1 hence they went to the Blind Floral Co
ranae at West View. Ed. Blind himself
conducted the party through the houses.
which look as though Easter would find
them all ready. All the stock looked good.
the bulbs being exceptionally so, and well
hmed. The facilities for handling same
tt-ere up to date, the cellar being large
enough to permit the tractor to haul

•^'tock in large quantities right into the
;touses. Deutzia gracilis, which is coming
r^° ^V'^'^ again, was in goo^ shape, and

;]'.d._ who has already established a repu-

jtation for Cyclamen, has the young stock

nn A-1 shape.

I Another one of Ed's good cigars, and
tlien on to the John Bader Cnmnanv's
establishment at Troy Hill. Ben L. Elliott,
the proprietor, led the procession through

'houses of palms and ferns, pot Roses
Lilies, etc., all in fine shape. The bovs

took a great interest in hi.s oil-burning
furnace, no detail being overlooked in its
inspection.

Another Hmoko and we went tooting on
to Ziegcr Co., Ine., florists of Baum boule-
vard. They reported that business was
good, and much interest was taken in the
collection of foreign birds.

A look through Randolph & McCIem-
ents of Penn ave. was interesting, after
\vhich the travelers were the guests of
this company at the Rittenhou«e at a
luncheon, and a good one at that. Presi-
dent J. Barnet reminded us that there was
no time for specchmaking, but he called
unon^ E. C. Reineman, who expreaaed the
Club s gratitude and appreciation of Mr.
Sara McCIements' hospitality, regretting
that gentleman's absence through sick-
ness.

Good Plants and Progress Everywhere

Carl Lindroth now took charge of
the party and headed a parade toward
the extensive range of greenhouses off
btanton ave. Carl ia a hustler and has
management down to a science, while his
ability as a grower was evinced in every
section. Pot Roses, Lilies, Hydrangeas
and bulbs were all fine, and cleanliness
and order were apparent everywhere
\ erona was next on the program and a
brief stop was made at H. B. Zie^er's
place there, where H. B. demonstrated
that he is some engineer, as well as a
grower. Although the establishment is
small, he has installed the Delco Light
System, modern pumping, etc.. Begonias
were m A-1 shape.

The last stop was at Paul S. Randolph
and Sons, Verona, Pa. This concern has
a splendid layout. Crotons and other
foliage plants were good, Pot Roses were
fine, the Hydrangeas were exceptional,
and the old-time Coronilla glauca was
thriving well. Paul himself was on the
30b, active as ever in spite of his advanc-
ing years. Refreshments again! And the
boj-s did justice to the inviting layout, in-
cluding the lemonade. Yes, we're getting
used to prohibition, but it takes time

It was an enjoyable outing and although
t'^e. T.eather was anything but pleasant,
It Jailed to dampen the spirits and en-
thusiasm of those present. Both com-
mercial men and private gardeners alike
felt indebted to J. C, Walley of the Mc-
Oallum Co., Evans City, and Carl Lind-
roth, who were the committee in charge
or arrangements.

Rochester, N. Y.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Rochester Florists Ass'n took place at the
Usburn House on Friday evening, March
ii. About 100 members and their friends
were m attendance. President James F
teproat m the chair. After the usual
routine of business had been disposed Mr
•bproat introduced as the speaker of the
evening David J. Scott, of Corfu, N. Y,
who had very kindly consented to o-ive a'
talk on

The Cultivation of the Winter-flower-
ing Sweet Pea

Mr. Scott has devoted many years to
the growing of Sweet Peas under glass
and IS considered one of the most suc-
cessful growers of Sweet Peas in this sec-
tion; his remarks were therefore listened
to with interest and profit by all present
as from one speaking with authority.

To illustrate his talk, Mr. Scott had on
exhibition a choice collection of Sweet
Peas, including varieties of Rose Queen,
Pmk, Venus, white. Miss Burke, Christ-
mas Pink, Christmas Pink Orchid, and
Mrs. Joseph Manda; in addition to these
he also had on display a vase of Snap-
dragon Enchantress, and one of Calendula,
both of which plants he has specialized
in for some time, and of which he is a
successful grower.

Mr. Scott prefaced his talk on Sweet
Peas with a brief history of the develop-
ment of tbe Winter flowering type as dis-
tinct from the outdoor varietj', passing on
to the cultural methods as practiced at
his establishment, first explaining the
various methods of sowing the seed, which
are three, namely; sowing in pots, sowing
directly in the beds where they are to
flower, and sowing in sand. The first
method of sowing in pots had the advan-
tage of producing the crop two or three
weeks earlier, but was not practiced, ow-
ing to the fact that all the seeds did not
germinate at the same time, consequently
producing vines that were irregular in
height, which was to be guarded against
as it ^vas essential to have a uniform

growth in order that the vines would re-
ceive an euual amount of light. The sec-
ond method of sou-ing in the bed was not
priK'ticcd for the reuHoii llu- .sneaker pre-
ferred the method of sowing nis seed in
Hautl which, when sprouted, were potted
u|) according to size, thereby getting from
tile Htart a uniform vine.

September or November was considered
the best time to plant for the Spring
crop wlien the flower.s were most needed
and brought the best returns; nothing
was to be gained, he thought, by planting
earlier, as the warm Fall days seem to
have fi bad effect on the growth of the
plants, and was the cause he suggested,
of bud dropping.

Planting is done on solid beds built up
from the ground with a 10- or r2-in.
board, and the soil renewed each year;
this latter proceeding, the speaker thought,
was essential, at least he had found it so
in his locality, and was the only eflective
means he had found of keeping under
control the sow bugs and wire worms
which were so injurious to the crop and
extremely troublesome. A temperature of
48 deg. was ideal for the production of
high grade flowers. Insect pests were the
common green aphis and red spider; the
former attacking the vine when in the
young stage, or about when they had
reached a height of 2ft.; these pests were
ciuickly eradicated by the use of Nico-
Fume liquid, after which they were the
occasion of very little trouble, but it was
most essential to get rid of them at once.
Red Spider made its appearance in the
early part of the season, but usually dis-
appeared later on as the conditions favor-
able to the growth of Sweet Peas were
not so to red spider.

Mildew was considered the most diffi-
cult and troublesome problem that con-
fronted the grower of Sweet Peas, and the
practical method of combating it was by
carefully dusting the vines with sulphur.
Placing sulphur on the steam pipes, as for
Roses, was not to be practiced under any
consideration, as the fumes therefrom
would spoil all the flowers. Watering was
carefully done until about March, when
the quantity was increased, and mulchings
of sheep manure were applied which kept
the soil in good mechanical condition.

The speaker called the attention of his
hearers to the erroneous impression which
was going around to the effect that it did
not co-st much to produce Sweet Peas
under glass, and firoceeded to explain that
it was about the most expensive crop to
grow in a greenhouse, considering that the
season was so short, and also that in order
to obtain and insure getting the right
kind of seed it was necessary for the
grower to save his own seed, which re-
quired the sacrifice of many salable flow-
ers. As it was not practical to save seed
from poor quality flowers, consequently it
must be saved from the best flowers at
a time when they are bringing the best
prices.

The speaker claimed it was almost im-
possible to buy seed that would come
true. To illustrate his remark he had on
exhibition a vase of flowers, the seed of
which was saved from ^oz. of seed pur-
chased the year previous, and which con-
tained all colors from pink to purple,
named varieties, no doubt, but which ow-
ing to the conditions under which they
were grown in large quantities, _ had be-
come mixed. The point he wished to
emphasize being that under present con-
ditions of producing seed in sufficient
quantities to make it profitable for the
grower at the market prices obtaining,
quality had to be sacrificed for quantity.
The same conclusions applied to Calen-
dula, the seed of which had to be saved
from year to year, and that it was a very
difficult matter even then to keep the
strain true to form and color, and the
production of seed was very light, some
flowers not producing any.

In addition to Sweet Peas there were
on exhibiton a superb vase of Carnation
Laddie, exhibited by Mrs. F. F. Thomp-
son, Canandaigua, N. Y., Weldon Kirchoff,
gardener, who I might add, made a special
trip for the express purpose of showing
these excellent blooms. Mr. Kirchoff be-
lieves that Laddie is the finest Carnation
extant and is planning to grow it ex-
clusively next year. Hugo Teute of
Rochester also had on yiew some fine
blooms of this variety, and contemplates
using it to supplant Enchantress Supreme
next season, W. E Winkler of Wakefield,
Mass., exhibited some new varieties he is
at present working on. Mr. Winkler was
not quite satisfied with the varieties him-
self in their present stage, but all x>resent

certainly appreciated his interest in send-
ing them along.

Charles White of Medina, N". Y., was
a visitor at the meeting; he is a grower
on an extensive scale of Lilies and Roses.

Visitors for the week were S. W. Mor-
gan, Le Roy, N. Y.; Miss Mary Ziramer,
Uansville, N. Y., and Mrs. Anna Dietsche,
Geneseo, X. Y, Mrs. Dietsche has re-
cently opened a flower store in Geneseo.

New Rochelle, N. Y.

Heni-y A. Siebrecht of North ave. is
probably the only living New Rochellean
who attended the inauguration of Presi-
dent Grant 52 years ago. Mr. Siebrecht
was a sergeant in the army, having served
through the Civil War. During the cere-
monies he stood within 15ft. of the gen-
eral. He knew General Grant well and
was one of the first to grasp the new
President's hand after the inauguration
ceremonies. He says the weather that
inauguration day was just such a day as
this present March 4.

Beacon, N. Y.

Benjamin Hammond, of Slug Shot fame
devotes much of his time to the interests
of school children and, as President of
the Board of Education at Albany, N. Y.,
he has launched a whole series of objec-
tions against the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Fearon.

This bill has aroused a protest from
all parts of the State and, when a hear-
ing on the bill was instituted recently at
Albany, a great crowd took possession of
the Chamber. Mr. Hammond was present
at the hearing, which lasted three and one-
half hours and, according to reports, the
Fearon bill, which would greatly hamper
educational boards, found no sympathizers
outside its promotors and lawj'ers called
in to boost it.

Lancaster, Pa.

The retail florists' report almost as
many funerals the past week as during
an epidemic, and everyone has been busy
handling the work connected therewith.

Miss Steckmen reports that her one-day
trip to the city was a three-day trip, and
that there is some wonderful stock in
Philadelphia for Easter business. H. A.
Schroyer went down to see some of it for
himself, and nearly all of our Lancaster
retailers are busy looking up stock for
what they anticipate being the biggest
Easter this city ever saw.

One thing is certain: If the weather
would be as balmy as it has been the
past week, there would not be enough
stock to handle the trade. With the
grower the big proposition is to hold
stock back enough to have it for March
27.

Outdoors the Crocuses are in full
bloom: Hyacinths are showing color and
everything is just about a month ahead
of its normal time.

Chas. Johnson of Marietta, who has
devoted his life to the study and sale of
seeds and is author of the Seedsmans
Assistant and other books, will visit
Denaiffe & Son, of Northern France, hav-
ing been their agent in the United States
and Canada for a number of years. Dur-
ing the war their land was badly damaged
but they are getting back into shape, and
Mr. Johnson will no doubt take up his
work again in spite of the fact that he ia
about SO years of age, a fair specimen of
the manhood Lancaster County produces.

"At it 45 Years and Still Learning"

F. S. W. of New York writes us. "En-
closed please find money order of $2.50
for renewal of subscription which it gives
me pleasure to send. Yes, I have been at
it 45 years and still learning^ more
through every issue of your paper."

Is This the Way the Word Came
About?

An esteemed correspondent (a florist)
gave us this lately: "I am pleased to say
we are having better weather. The moss
has been growing on our backs for the
want of a little sunshine, and we had to
move fast iii order to keep it off at that.
Am sure the word "mossback" came about
in this way, as in the old days we had
much more rain than we have been hav-
ing of late."

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Some 20 or so years ago, this writer
ventured to discuss garden tools of the
futui'e in a gardening journal, and, among
the appliances of the past that he vented
his spleen upon, was the common garden
wheelbarrow which threw all the load-
weight on the arms of the user. To get
over the difficulty, it was suggested that
the wheel be carried underneath and that
the tipping be done from the front. A
barrow built on such lines was, some years
after, put upon the market, but what
happened to it I never heard.

Another garden task that this brainy ( ? )
being criticized, was digging with the
spade or fork which, while perfect in its
purpose, was both slow and hard. The
plow \yas ruled out as being only a make-
shift, its acting being a mere imitation of
digging.

It was suggested that a machine easily
controlled and of no great size with the
action of a rotary river bed dredger was
what the gardener wanted.

The advent of tractor has given some
inventor a chance to evolve a rotary dig-
ger. Instead of attaching a small plow
behind a hand tractor, revolving tines or
prongs have been fitted.

These tines, instead of just turning over
a strip of soil as does the plow, dig in,
lift and generally pulverize or cultivate in
one operation.

This small hand tractor, it is claimed,
will cut labor costs by one-half. We
imagine the machine is of British origin;
it is in use on one of the largest nurseries
in England.

Cold and Its Influence on Plants

An article on the above subject by F. V.
Coville, in the journal of Agricultural Re-
search, Washington, D. C, gives the Gar-
deners' Chronicle, London, an opportunity
to chidethe author for dilating on a sub-
ject as if it were a new discovery when,
actually, it has been familiar to practical
gardeners and botanists for ages.

The readiness with which plants grow
in heat after a freeze, is common knowl-
dege to most gardeners, and it has long
been the custom to subject Rhubarb, Lily
of the Valley, Spiraea and similar roots
to freezing before forcing. The old prac-
tice among gardeners of resting grape
vines and other pot fruits in the open,
makes it clear that practical men have
long known that growing such stock under
glass without chilling them while dormant
actually retards future growth, a fact Mr.
Coville appears to have only recently dis-
covered.

It would seem that Mr. Coville has been
astonished at his discoveries regarding the
behavior of plants after the influence of
cold, and it is not surprising that the
London critic points out that he is shed-
ding no new light upon a subject that
has been interesting countless races of
gardeners and more than one generation
of botanists.

Echoes of Old Times

David King, president of the Royal
Caledonian Horticultural Society which
was recently amalgamated with the Scot-
tish Horticultural Society, in reveiwing
the progress of Scottish horticulture since
the inception of the R. C. H. S. in 1809,
touched upon many interesting phases. In
the early part of the century, the Scot-
tish Oregon Ass'n formed by a number of
Scottish noblemen, introduced many fine
conifers discovered by Menzies and Doug-
las in Northwestern America.

In those days the old Scots were great
experts in the art of training fruit trees.
At Kinfauns Castle, the Peach trees were
grown on heated walls; on one of these no
less than seven fires were used.

Touching upon prices, Mr. King stated
that in those early days, fruiting size
currant bushes, etc., sold at 75c. to $1 a
doz., and Privet at $5 a 1000. Oh, for
those happy days.

A Cookery Inquiry

If it takes one hour to cook young
Beets, and twice as long to cook old
Beets, how long will it take to cook "dead
beats?"

A Pleasing Pot Cover

Ever since I ventured to take home a
couple of Boston ferns, the good lady has
worried me to "furrage" out some form
of pot cover that would improve their

appearance, but as all the spare cash was
required to meet the coal bills, tax bills,
gas bills and the needs of two growing
boys, I was warned against extravagance
in the form of silver of porcelain fern
bowls.

It so chanced that the Mono Fiber Pot
Covers came to my notice and happiness
now reigns in our household. They have
the color and appearance of Wedgwood
ware and, if the designs were embossed,
the resemblance would be complete.

Every florist ought to get acquainted
with these inexpensive pot covers; they
would help the sale oi plants tremen-
dously.

Strong, light, and waterproof, they are
the best imitation of earthenware I have
seen.

Potato Breeding

Nothing in the vegetable line is more
important nor has aroused more interest
in the past century than the humble Po-
tato. One might also add that no sub-
ject has induced a greater amount of "hot
air" talk. Wonder working Potatoes that
were to increase the world's production
tenfold or more have appeared and disap-
peared like meteors in the sky, and prob-
ably will continue to do so while people
are willing to accept all the claims made
by raisers who work without any partic-
ularly scientific methods.

It may be truly said that few people
can dare to set out as scientific Potato
breeders, because of the enormous area
of ground and cost it would entail to
grow on and test seedlings to their full
limit.

One gains an insight into the complexity
of the subject from a paper read by Dr.
Salaman of the Cambridge University at
the conference in connection with the
government trials at Ormskirk, Eng., re-
cently

Dr. Salaman declared that Potato rais-
ing in the past had been conducted in a
barbaric fashion, as 95 per cent of the
seedlings were discarded without any
definite tests. The raiser, he says, is al-
ways looking for definite characters; for
something he could not find.

Touching upon shape, Dr. _^ Salaman
stated that pure round, kidney and pebble
shaped tubers, if their flowers are selfed,
yield or breed true to type, but when a
true round is crossed with a true kidney
the result is a kidney that does not breed
true to shape.

The deep and the shallow eyes, too, are
definite Mendelian characters. Dr. Sala-
man declared that the deterioration of
Potatoes has nothing to do with constitu-
tion. _ Potatoes that ■ die out, do so through
mosaic or leaf curl. A view long held by
this writer.

_ It would be interesting to know the
lineage of some of our leading Potatoes;
the probability is they never had any.

The Man with the Buttonhole

The Garden (British) dedicates its 84th
volume to the Right Hon. The Lord Lam-
bourne, president of the Royal Horticul-
tural Society, a great parliamentarian and
formery known as Colonel Lockwood, Lord
Lamboume is one of England's leading
horticulturists. He has been an ardent
gardener from boyhood and is familiar
with all the operations, having done Ms
share at digging, budding, and even stok-
ing the greenhouse boiler.

His great forte is Carnations, and it is
possible for anyone to recognize him, for
he invariably wears a huge Carnation,
usually of the perpetual Malmaison type
— the bigger the better.

The portrait of Lord Lambourne ap-
pearing in_ The Garden shows him as he
is, a rollicking, sporting gentleman on
whom three score or so years sit lightly.

British 'Mum Raisers Going Strong

The National Chrysanthemum Society
evidently had a busy season last Fall, for
no less than 34 novelties were granted
awards or certificates. One may assume
that fully twice as many were shown.

One variety named Perpetual White
interests us greatly, for it commences to
flower in May, and continues until Sep-
tember.

This seems to substantiate the declara-
tion of the late Wm. Wells, who once
declared 'Mums could be made to flower
all the year around.

It is worth noting, too, that Autocrat,
which for several years has been the
leading late white in Covent Garden mar-
ket, is now to be had in both reflexed and
incurved forms.

Both types gained R. H. S. awards when
shown on Jan. 11.

Enthusiasts

The old school nursery or florist hand
is recognizedly an enthusiast; whether the
breed is becoming extinct is an open ques-
tion. The writer has known old gar-
deners who never took a holiday, unless
in the form of a day off to visit some
other garden. It is said that the old time
London horse bus driver used to have one
day off a year, and that he spent along-
side of the driver of another bus.

This reminds one of the story of a
Chrysanthemum grower who was taken to
task by his employer for not attending
church on Sundays. "Well," he exclaimed,
"It wouldn't do me any good, as I should
all the time be wondering if the wind
would damage my Chrysanthemums."

Carnations in Europe

Montague C. AUwood, one of the most
progressive Carnation growers in England,
has again been exercising his pen with
which, as with his voice, he is an adept.
In the H. T. J. he declares "England is
today the mecca of the Carnation world.
America is falling far behind in the pro-
duction, not so much in the quantity as
in the quality of their novelties."

He goes on to say that "the mainspring
of the Carnation novelty business is the
amateur and private gardener; they buy
and insist upon new shades of color." He
also declares that American market grow-
ers are giving up Carnations because they
lack lasting qualities.

Seems to me friend Monty exaggerates
a bit, and yet A. F. J. Baur has said that
we need to encourage new colors among
Carnations.

An Elarly Advertiser

A recent issue of The Gardeners' Chron-
icle, London, contained an interesting ac-
count of the introduction and the first
cultures of the Pineapple in England.
We learn that Henry Scott of Waybridge
was among the first successful commercial
growers of this fruit, and in 1758 he was
advertising in the London newspapers,
that he had about 600 Pineapples ready
to cut.

Even in those days, advertising was
recognized as the best method of finding
customers.

A Gardener's War Memorial

What is doubtless unique in the way
of war memorials is the statue of a sol-
dier in full marching order with rifle,
erected in the gardens of C. A. Cain, Wel-
wyn, Herts, England.

From these gardens, 23 men joined the
British forces, seven of whom fell in
battle. To commemorate their sacrifice,
their employer has had erected in a prom-
inent position a life size marble statue
mounted upon a plinth bearing the names
of the fallen.

Insects and Pollination

It is an accepted theory that insects
play a great part in the pollination of
fruit trees, but an orchardist, writing to
the Gardeners Chronicle, London, conclu-
sively proves that wind is a far more
important agency. By careful watching,
he has learned that it pays to plant go<ra
pollinizing varieties to the westward, that
being the quarter from which most winds
come.

An old Crab apple to westward of an
orchard nearly a mile distant, so affected
the fruiting of the orchard, that the latter
when the Crab was cut down, never again
gave a good crop.

Thirty years' observation and experi-
ence convinces this grower that climatic
conditions are the main factors in pollin-
ization of fruit. Should the season be
damp when the trees are flowering, little
fruit may be expected.

A Rabid Prohibitionist

As a general rule, the practical cultiva-
tor looks with a lenient eye upon all prod-
ucts of the soil, for he is willing to allow
that every plant has its place in Nature's
scheme of economic development.

The editorial writer of the Farm Jour-
nal which, by the way, claims it has five
million readers, is so biased however, that
he says "we deplore and denounce any
attempt to weaken the existing laws that
prohibit the making, selling and using of
intoxicating liquors.

"We are also opposed to the use of tobac-
co in any form and hope for the day
when it will be prohibited by law."

Doubtless this dear, lovable gentleman
will have us destroy all our grape vines,
so that we may make no wine; all our
apples that we may not make cider; pro-
hibit the cultivation of hops and barley,

that we be not tempted to make hoi (
brew. Dried Raisins and Currants wi [
of course, come under a ban indeed,
this delightful Philadelphia man can ha i
his way, we will be forbidden to grow ai j
fruit, not forgetting the h-umble Rhubar .
which can put to shame many subjec i
used for wine making. Even the Dand ■
lion, the base of one of the best ton ^
wines for pulmonary troubles, will have ;
be eradicated.

As for the ban on tobacco, how tl :
bugs will laugh when the use of it in ai ,
form is prohibited. If it were possibl
the whole tribe would readily support ■
resolution to prohibit tobacco in ai .
form.

Bine Hydrangeas

We have heard much of late r
garding these but even now there ai
some who doubt the possibility of ma
ing plants produce blue flowers by artil
cial means. Personally, I do not doubt
at all for there are growers who featm
blue flowered plants. That well knoTT
English firm, Stuart Law & Co., befoi
the war upset things, used to annually o
fer blue flowered plants — ^maybe they <]
it now — ^but how they obtained them an
the variety used I cannot say. Blu
flowered Hydrangeas are uncommon, an
where they appear naturally, always evoli
interest and admiration. The Gardener.
Chronicle (London) recently published a
illustration of a woodland border, some 10
yards long, as growing at Fota, Cork, In
land. All of the plants growing therei
yield blue flowers which, owing to th
mild climate, remain in good shape unt:
December.

Tlie Bine Iiace Flower

Few seedsmen who list this daint,
annual appear to have the nerve to giv
it its botanical name. Trachymene coBruHe
— for what reason it is difficult to saj
That it will become more and more popi^
lar as a cut flower seems certain, for it i
easy to grow and may be flowered, lik
many other annuals, during the late Wir ■
ter and Spring months under glass. A sow
ing now and a temperature of about 50deg
at night will bring it into bloom for th
Spring. Pinching out the leading bui
will make it branch, but when once i
comes into flower it must be cut ove
regularly. If allowed to set seed, it wil'
quickly run off blooming.

Slug Shot for Sow Bugs

It is with great pleasure each week ]
read your valued paper. The Flobists
Exchange, and I like to give a helpinf
hand when I can. I do not wish to saj-
anything against the use of Paris greei'
and sugar, or bran, or any other material
for I know these are all good to kill bugs,
such as wood lice (sow bugs,) etc. But 1
would like to state, as I have done for
merly, for the benefit of any one botherec
with sow bugs that I have thoroughlj
cleared my greenhouses of this pest bj
dusting freely with Hammond's Slug Shot
spreading it well in the walks, under tbt i
benches, along the side walls and betweei
the plants, using about 20lbs. to a 20ft. 3
100ft house. This Slug Shot will not injur*
Carnation plants. I hope that this recital ol
my experience will be of help to otherf
in trouble and specially recommend itt
nse as it is not dangerous to human life
as is Paris green.

Business conditions in general are good
for the Lenten season. T. O'Connor has
been kept exceedingly busy with funeral
work during the past month. He recent-
ly turned out a beautiful casket cover of
Orchids and Freesia. Everyone is look-
ing forward to a banner Easter business
and the shops are becoming more attrac-

The T. J. Johnston Co. has been given
notice to vacate its store on Washington

Successful Spring Show

The Spring Flower Show of the
Worcester County Horticultural Society,
on Mar. 10 and 11, was well staged and
very attractive, the arrangement being
under the supervision of Secretary Kin-
ney and A. H. Lange of the Committee
of Exhibitors. W. D. Howard, president
of the American Carnation Society, was
awarded a silver medal for a splendid
display of Carnations featuring Ruth Baur
and Ethel Fisher.

Wm. E. Morey of Shrewsbury was
awarded a medal for a vase of extra
good Carnation Doris, and H. F. A. Lange
received a silver medal for a fine display
of King Alfred Narcissus. Other attrac-
tive exhibits were made by Harry Ran-
dall—Columbia Roses; Allen Jenkins-
Azalea mollis and Genistas; Chas, Pot-
ter- Nemesia Suttoni; Sunnyside Green-
houses— well grown Genistas and Tulips;
Lange — garden effect of white Lilacs, Cou-
ronne d'Or Tulips, "really truly grass,
and evergreens for a background.
Market and Prospects ,, , ^

Trade is holding up fairly well, but
there are no special features worthy of
mention. Prices have no stability. For
Easter there are prospects of a good sup-
ply of Lilies, Hydrangeas, pot Roses and
all kinds of bulbous plants and Genistas.

Allen Jenkins, superintendent for Dr.
and Mrs. Homer Gage's Iristhorpe Gar-
dens, was on the committee of judges for
the Open Special Class at the New York

The Market

ilar. 14. — The weather was warm
last week and stock became more abxin-
dant outside of Carnations. Roses, Peas
and bulb stock are especially plentiful.
Lilies are on the scarce side and will be
especially so for Easter. Pot plants will
be more plentiful.

Florist Club Meets

The Dayton Florists Club held its
regular meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Mar.
S. The weather being very wet a poor
attendance was reported, though there
were enough present to transact business.

Reports of the Advertising Committee
were received. It was decided to run a co-
operative ad for Easter and make assess-
ments accordingly. The repoi't on outdoor
advertising was laid on the table. Elec-
tions being in order, the following were
elected: Horace Frank, president; J. 0.

Schaefer and George Frisch were ap-
pointed a Banquet Committee to arrange
a dinner to be held the first week in
April. Business was reported fairly good
and good business for Easter is expected
though prices are less than they were a
year ago.

The Furst Floral Co. will tear down its
greenhouses this coming Sxmmier and will
rebuild same into a modem range. Stock
for Easter and Spring plants at this
place are in fine condition.

H. H. Ritter was on the sick list for
a few days but is up and around again.
He also will tear down his greenhouses
and build a new range worthy of the
city.

E. W. Jenkins reports good business
in Gladioli, being almost sold out. F. W,
Ritter's flower shop is all set for the
Easter trade with a new coat of paint
and a fine stock of plants.

The Catholic churches made a large
call for Lilies and decorative plants on
Saturday for which we were all thank-
ful.

Abby ave. greenhouses have 50,000 Holly-
berry Cherry seedlings which will be
ready for shipment in April.

Visitors last week were: Otis Bullock
from Vaughan's Seed Store; I. Bayers-
dorfer, Philadelphia; J. N. LeFebre, Hol-
land; I. "Waters, Eaton, O.

St. Louis, Mo.

March 8. — The market holds up well;
there is an increased supply but publicity
seems to be working. Prices are easier.

The supply of blooming plants is in-
creasing and a full supply for Eaater is
expected. Ferns are getting scarce and
S5 per 1000 is the price. Some extra fine
Smilax is in and selling well. Asparagus
plumosus is plentiful, three and four
bunches for §1.

The retailers are getting ready for a
big Easter and are doing some local ad-
vertising in the newspapers. Violets are
poor, the warm weather hurt them. Ship-
ping trade in cut flowers and supplies is
good.

News Xotes

F. C. Weber has been giving a real
flower show at his spacious store. Speci-
mens of the florist art were displayed,
including corsages, wedding bouquets,
floral emblems, house and table decora-
tions. Large crowds visited the store and
it took a patrolman at the door to handle
the crowd.

H. G. Beming and wife are touring in
the South ; they expect to return next
week. The business goes on smoothly under
the management of George Kuchner and
his staff.

The St. Louis "Say it with Flowers"
Bowling League is getting exciting. Now
the Roses are leading the Carnations.
Poor Oscar Ruff is down in the heart.
Carnation team was his and he thought he
had all the other teams scared to death.
His wonderful voice oftentimes completely
demoralized the opposing team, but since
the Carnations have received some beat-
ings, they are acting in a quite reserved
manner.

John Burke has sold his fixtures on
Juanita st. and will go to California to
work in the florist business. His friends
wish him good luck.

Florists' Retail Assn.

At the meeting of this association, March
14, F. H. Weber spoke on the "Purposes for

Wliich We Retailers Have Formed This
Association." In his talk, Mr. Weber im-
pressed upon his hearers the necessity for
harmony and unity in their ranks and a
search for the best methods wheieby to con-
duct their business, which, to be successful,
must be run in full agreement with the
growers and wholesalers.

"It is up to the retailers to let the growers
and wholesalers know their needs and these
latter should not fear to confer v,-ith them
over any existing grievances. The retailer is
the last one to handle the output before the
consiimer gets it and therefore is in the best
position to know the situation. Due in a
measure to publicity, the ."tjt. Louis flower
markel has no* shown a real glut in one va-
riety of flowers, but gluts will come and ef-
forts must be made to prevent stock being
sold at prices which tend to demoralize and
ruin business. On the other hand, excessive
profits should be guarded against. 'A fair
price for a good article' should be the re-
tailers' motto.

"Quite recently in this city, fresh Narcissi
and Jonquils were bought at wholesale for
4c. and retailed at 5c. . a profit of 12c. on the
dozen. While it may be true that the par-
ties who sold them at tha. price made a good
profit in bulk, how can the retailer compete
and make a profit on such a margin, after
aying for rent, labor, and dehvery expenses ?
The remedy is cooperation. The recently
formed Growers' Association contemplates
cooperative buying. Can we not also devise
some method of purchasing this surplus
stock, distributing is for advertising purposes
among our customers, thus avoiding con-
gestion ? Gluts come only now and then and
occur only in distinct varieties. The average
buyer of flowers cannot tmderstand fluctua-
tions in prices, although quite naturally
when Summer comes, he does no expect to
pay the price he paid in Midwintei.

In conclusion, Mr. \Veber urged coopera-
tion, improvement of business methods and
xinderstanding between wholesaler, grower
and retailer. As to these latter, let us con-
fide in them and talk over conditions. We
need their confidence. Let us make this
Retailers' Association worthy of the trade
we represent. Let us not only talk, but act.
Let us make our association 100 per cent
effective. There is lots of work to be done.
We can help each other devise methods to
increase our business and make oxjr slogan
"Say it with Flowers" acceptable to our
patrons.

The Market

Mar. 12. — Were it not for fimeral
work the market would indeed be a dull
one. Ideal weather has brought everything
up to the point of perfection and prices
are normal. A great deal of bulb stock
is proving a poor investment for the
growers, Freesia being one of the poorest.
A nmnber of Lily growers figured on
being too late for Easter delivery, but
with the present weather conditions pre-
vailing, every one, no doubt, will be thor-
oughly satisfied when the excitement is
over.

Rose bushes are not going to be heavily
laden with blossoms, but those we have
seen seemed in excellent condition and
will prove good property. The advanced
season has brought the outdoor bulbs into
bloom and Daffodils are being peddled at
2oc. per doz. This condition will have a
tendency to keep the price of the indoor
stock down a trifle, but good bi-eolor
stock will probably hold its own. Sweet
Peas have taken a big drop and good
stock can be had for less than $2 per
100. The warm weather is getting the
best of the Calendulas, some very good
stock for mixed seed being quite a fea-
ture up to the present time. Business with
the retailers consists principally of fimeral
work with an occasional spurt of other
work. The great nmnber of deaths gave
opportunity for much choice design work,
a number of casket covers being turned
out during the past few days.
News Notes

The Sixth st. flower market records
this as one of its poorest days.

Post cards from Honolulu report C. E.
Critchell as having a fine time.

H. W. Sheppard has booked several
decorations for Spring store openings for
this coming week. H. E. K.

One representative of whom inquiry
was made as to how he was so suceessfiU
in obtaining new subscriptions for The
Exchange replies as follows: "It's the
paper, not me. It just naturally sells it-
self. I did tell a fellow one time, when he
told me he hadn't time to read the papers,
that he looked the part and his green-
houses and stock sure talked that way.
But that was rough stuff.'*

Catalogs Received

Sunnybrook Iris Garden, Eatontown. X. J. —
Mrs. Francis E. Cleveland, who conducts ihese
nurseries, is distinctive, for only by turning to the
back cover of this little catalog, can one find where
it emanates from. ,\ number of new seedling Iris
are listed, together with a complete collection of
the most notable new and old bearded forms.

J. W. Adams Nursery Co., Springfield, Mass. —
A usefal little list of trees and other ornamental
stock. Consisting of 40 pages, it is replete with
names and brief descriptions of practically all the
worth while trees, shrubs, hedge plants, vines,
Roses, herbaceous flowers and fruits. All the
Roses offered are two-year, field grown stock.

Willy Van Esmond, Oegstgeest by Leiden.
Uolland. — bpecial trade offer of Alpine and her-
baceous plants. The sender appears to overlook
the fact thai such stock, unless of new or rare va-
rieties. IS not permitted to enter this countiy.

Job P. Wyatt & Sons Co., Raleigh, X. C—
With Its well executed colored covers, this seed
catalog compares favorably with manv issued by
Jiastern concerns. Farmer's lines are a great
feature and from the illastration of the machinery
store, we gather that this concern caters for a large
and far-reachmg trade. Vegetable, flower and
larm seeds are listed and illustrated in great va-
riety, whiie sundries and tools of everj' description
find a place.

Seed Catalogs

Those harbingers of Spring, the annual
seed catalogs, are here again, gladdening
the heart and stirring the red blood with-
m us. Their gorgeous pictures of colossal
Zinnias, pole Beans, Asters, scarlet Rad-
ishes and buiteriiy Sweet Peas breed rain-
bow hopes.

We seem to hear the call of ilother
±>arth. W e, who rejoice in the smell of
new-turned sod will become children of
nature. Out will come the garden tools,
and Eobm Redbreast will hop merrily
around us as we spade up juicy angle-
worms tor Robins delectation. And soon
the little plots will be laid out, marked
'^'^^ ij'^'^^'^'^"® ^^^'^ packages on sticks,
and holding, ahl what rosy promise— until
^ido suddenly remembers that long-buried
bone, or the neighbors' chickens—

But why court Tragedy? You cannot
keep a good seed dovm, and imder smiling
April skies the tiny shoots, the youngest
ot young things, poke their green heads
above the earth.

Here come the Little Marvel Peas— a
miracle of nature. In this pot the dull,
red Tomatoes; here the giant Cauliflower;
the white Asparagus. They look so noble
— in the seed catalog — don't they?

Alidsummer and vacation time. It is
a shame to leave the garden just as every-
thing is getting ripe. . . . You return
trom the mountains and seaside. Alas!
It is a garden of weeds now. The neigh-
bors have gathered the few vegetables
that materialized. The rest have gone to
seed or hang their heads withered and
strangled. Only the Morning Glories riot
over the back fence.

But nest year — when the seed catalogs
arrive — you will have a real garden.

Chicago Evening Post.

Crindonna Memoria Corsii

It has long been known that the great
family of Amaryllidaceous plants offered
wonderful possibilities in the way of hy-
brids but, save in a few directions, no
great amount of work has been done.
Particularly in the direction of hardy
forms is there room for development.

Dr. A. Eogionieri, of Italy, well known
for his work on colored Freesias and other
hybridization work, affords the Gard-
eners Chronicle^ London, the opportunity
of illustrating a new bigeneric hybrid
under the above name. It is the result
of crossing Crinum Mooreanum with
Amaryllis belladonna.

It apparently partakes of both parents,
carrying its flowers in numbers of eight
to twelve, the color being dark rose pink.

Some years ago. Van Tubergen of Hol-
land, raised a hybrid from Amaryllis
belladonna and Brunsvigia, which was
named Brunsdonna.

Considering how many Crinuma — some
of them hardy in most sections with little
protection — many readily cross with
Amaryllis or other members of the family,
it seems there is a great opportunity for
would-be hybridists to get to work.

There is far more credit attached to
developing a neglected race of plants than
there is in collecting the best forms raised
by others and working from that point
on.

But, he who seeks cheap notoriety had
best leave the work to those who have
patience. Valuable breaks from hitherto
neglected plants are not developed in one
or two seasons, especially when true bulbs
are concerned.

While this plant has been in existen >
in this country for some years, havii j
been introduced from China by a coUectc '
of plants for the Department of Agi -
culture at Washington, D. C, and by tl ^
Harvard Botanical Gardens, little hi ;'
been known of its value as a cut flow* ■'
until recently when it was offered in tl ■
wholesale markets in the East and ilidd -
West. The popularity which it imme<Uat -■
ly obtained is an indication of a gres .
future for its sweet scented "Lilac like
blooms. There are, however, numeroi
types and those contemplating planting 5
should obtain cultural directions from th
growers offering these plants. . Veitchian
is of the Lilac flowered type, but ther
is also a white flowered sort that shoul
not be overlooked by those florists havin
a trade for "something different."

Some years ago a well knowTi Eocheste
(N. Y.) nursery firm introduced a sc
called hardy plant under the name 0
"Summer Lilac" mentioning it by th
name of Buddelia. Through the medium 0
advertising this plant has had a wondei
fill sale. The variety of this plant, origin
ally obtained by a government collectoi
was found not to be hardy north of Wash
ington, D. C. Upon investigation many dil
ferent varieties of the plant were fount
to be under experimental cultivation a
the Harvard Botanical Gardens at BostoD
Mass. Finally the variety Buddleii
Veitchiana magnifica was offered to tb
northern gardening public as a hard*
plant shrubby in form, but perennial ii
nature. With a few exceptions due to tb
varying conditions of early Spring in th.
northern sections, especially around Chi
eago, '-magnifica" has proved perfecth
hardy. In the perennial gardens of Chi
cago in Lincoln Park, of which Mr. Hig
gins is caretaker, he takes pride eacl
Summer in showing visitors Buddleis
magnifica which has stood the rigors oJ
lake winds and the alternate thawing anc
freezing of a Chicago Spring. Mr. Hig
gi^ fays, protect Buddleia as you woulc
a Hybrid Perpetual Pose; in other wordf
'bank with soil 12in. above the ground
Cut back rather severely in Spring, say
about the middle of April, as it is the
?ew wood that produces the blooms as
in the Rose." Blue flowers are a compara-
tive rarity in Summer. Florists should
not fail to get a supply of this Buddleia
and plant it for Summer use as well a^
work up a good supply for another sea-
son s trade. 1

Greenhouses with Movable Roofsi

V -f^ invention fraught with great possi-
bilities for the grower has been patented
in Great Britain and the United States.
It IS nothing less than a traveling green-
house with a movable roof.

Some years ago we published details of
traveling greenhouses in England and at
a later date, recorded an improved
traveling structure as used in the great
market growing district of Worthing by
a Mr. PuUen-Berry.

The failing of the earlier structures
which we saw in use some 20 or more
years ago was, its tendency to spread,
due to lack of scientific trussing.

The invention of Mr. Pullen-Berry over- ,
came many of the failings of the earlier
pattern but, even in this, the tendency of
one wheel to slip tmder certain con(h-
tions, made the running of the house
somewhat imeven.

The latest invention is the work of S. J.
Gfooch, of London, and Mr. De Jong, of
Worthing. Not only have they mastered ,
the difficulty of even running by the use I
of a worm drive, but they have intro-
duced a new feature which enables the i
grower to use the structure as a frame
for dwarf crops, or while the plants are ,
small, and later, to raise the roof and ;
make a real greenhouse by the mere
turning of a wheel.

By means of supports running on roll-
ers, the roof is lifted from a few inches
to 7ft. or niore, the supports being locked
in all positions, so that slipping is impos-
sible.

The sides are composed of sashes slid-
ing one on the other, so that whatever
height the roof is set, they automatically
adjust themselves.

For certain market crops, great advan-
tages are claimed for the invention and
we understand that the cost is little more
than that of a fixed house.

Mr. Gooch contemjilates making a trip
to this country in the near future and
will doubtless bring a working model with
him.

id these examples, though modest
impared with the flower clad bill-
ies in China and Japan, prove be-
ind doubt the high ornamental
ilue they possess in our own land-

No better example is afforded the

eties and garden hybrids have been
isembled and where each one is

f this same thing were done in all

jnain requirement is that they shall

he afforded at planting time sufii-

;;ient soil to give them a good start,
'ifter which they will shift for
ihemselves.

The honors for the greatest num-
ber of flowering Crabs are fairly
equally divided between China and

Japan. Some few hail from the

of the Himalayas, while this country contributes some

i two or three species and varieties of merit. Our native
I "Sweet Scented Crab," Pyrus coronarius, while per-
haps not so floriferous as the ornamental kinds, is
possessed of more fragrance than any of them. So
I fragrant is it that one can easily detect its presence
I from quite a distance. The fruit is much larger than
'the general run of flowering Crabs, excepting that of
: the "Siberian Crab," Pyrus baccata, the fruits of which
i are not only decorative, but of splendid culinary value.
The acme of perfection in ornamental Crab Apples
is reached in that splendid variety known as "Bechtel's
Double Flowered Crab." Authorities differ as to its

oarentage, some claiming that it is a form of Corona-
rius " while others place it with the Western species,
Pyrus Icensis. However that may be, it certainly pos-
sesses the fragrance of the former m a marked de-
gree In this and all other points of beauty, it equals
it it does not surpass any of the Crab Apples which
have come to us from distant lands. Indeed, we can
place it in the same class with the wonderful double
flowered Japanese Cherries. So rose like are the large
pink flowers which literally cover the tree, that one could
well imagine it to be a glorified Rose tree.

Occasionally a few fruits are borne as a result of some
fertile flowers, but it is a very shy fruit bearer, as nat-
urally it would be as a double flowered plant, and as it

is also doubtful about seedlings coming true,
the plant is increased by grafting or budding on
seeding stock of "Coronarius" or some other
species that is easily raised from seed.

Up to date all the stock raised has sold like
hot cakes, so that there has ever been a de-
cided shortage of it. If this be so in face
of the fact that it is but little known by the
general public what a future there is
for it and for those who raise it
when it becomes as well known as
Lilacs. It is a tree that will appeal
to the small property owner as well
as to those who possess many acres,
the only difference being the num-
ber required by the individual.

For a lawn tree of great beauty,
too much cannot be said in favor of
the several forms of the "Siberian
Crab," Pyrus baccata. Forming as
it does much more treelike propor-
tions than any of the others, it is of
sufficient height to supply shade and
it also produces a wonderful flower
and fruit effect. There are both red
and yellow fruited varieties of it,
while its hybrids and the "European
Crab," Pyrus Malus, have given us
a number of kinds that produce fruit
of larger size, and which are now
marketed as a profitable crop.

The European Crab, "Pyrus
Mains," while not considered very
ornamental, except for its sweet
smelling flowers, has some splendid
varieties which are well worth grow-
ing namely, coccinea, with abundant
scarlet fruits, and Neidzwetzkyanus
with pink flowers and purple tinted
leaves and fruit. If the latter had
only its name to recommend it, 1 am
afraid its popularity would have
quite a setback. Why not change
the name and give it a fair chance
to make up with the public f

Perhaps one of the best and most
known of the Japanese species is
Pyrus floribunda. Of a low and
spreading habit of growth similar to
our native white Dogwood it has
always appealed to everyone as a de-
lightfully unconventional plant for
growing and massing, and it has,
therefore, been used perhaps more
than any of the others in our "West-
ern gardens." Its innumerable
masses of pink flowers are pro-
duced all the length of the willowy
branches before the leaves expand,
and as the unfolding flower buds
are of a much deeper pink than the
open flower we have over several
weeks a beautiful gradation of color
from crimson to white. Atrosan-
guinea, a variety of the above has
a much deeper shade of color to the
flowers, which it maintains 'ongf
when exposed to sunlight. Park-
mani is another variety of flori-
bunda. with semi-double bright pink
flowers of a larger size than the

^^Some of the splendid hybrids of
note are; Schiedeckeri, Arnoldianum, Dawsonianum,
The former is of European origin, while the latter two
were raised from seed at the Arnold Arboretum,
Boston. Dawsonianum has large white flowers
with yellowish green fruits. Arnoldianum is said
to be a glorified floribunda. Schiedeckeri is much
later to flower than the others and is a much stronger
grower. Two others which are also late flowering
are Pyrus Sieboldii, commonly known as Toringo, with
oale blush flowers, and callicarpa, a newer variety of
ft with much larger flowers and fruits. Comments on

Waverley, Mass.

In "A Thousand and One Nights"Ave used
to read, when we were little boys, about
a fellow who just rubbed an old lamp
when he took a notion to want this or that
thing and, as it happened, he always
w^anted something a little nicer than what
the other fellow had. When the writer
visited the W. W. Edgar Co, greenhouses
in Waverly again the other day and when
he noticed how, since Christmas every
square foot in the houses held a new and
more wonderful display of plants, he
hunted up our old friend Herman Bartsch,
the manager. We found said H. B. in due
ime and wanted to know what sort of a
lamp he rubbed to get things just when
and how he wanted them. "No, sir! We
don't rub lamps here; we use common
sense — figure the time right and, when
everything is said and done, we do not
even need your old lamp to show the re-
sl^lts."

And Herman was right. The large
houses are chock-a-block full of Easter
plants, timed to the minute. About 15,-
000 Easter Lilies in one house are a sight
any grower may be proud of. They are
even, robust and healthy to a degree. An
extra rubbing of the lamp could not make
them better. A good sized lot of Madonna
Lilies is also fine. One whole house, is
occupied by Baby Rambler Roses and an-
other house holds French Hydrangeas,
grown in popular sizes and in large speci-
mens to perfection. Tausendschoen Roses,
trained as specimens, are in another
house; they are in several sizes, just
smothered with buds and right for Easter.
Hybrid perpetual and Hybrid Tea Roses,
of many varieties, are also coming along.
Then there are Genistas, Cinerarias, Pri-
mulas and a number of other things, too
numerous to mention. We might as well
say there is everything that is ever wanted
for Easter. Talk about bulbs in pots and
pans! Mr. Bartsch told the writer that
he never had a better lot of bulbs or less
trouble to force them than this year
and they are certainly grand. There are
all of the best and most brilliant and
sturdy Darwin Tulips, gro%vn in large or
small pans, the flowers standing up on
straight stems like soldiers. Tulips and
Hyacinths are grown in large quantities
and many varieties.

The firm has an enviable reputation for
the best grown Begonias and Cyclamen
for Christmas. The way it looks now,
considering the thousands anu thousands

of young stock eoruing along, the reputa-
tion is nut going to sull'ei' any in tlie near
future. Otaheite Orani^cs and Oleanders
uie always made specialties of in this
place. It is quite some job to go all over
this place and to note the innumerable
items wliieh turn up on evei-y side. Then
there is tlie outside department with its
bcitheds and coldframes, where stacks of
other plants are stored away, ready to
eome inside, I'ight after the i)resent
]*]aster stock is disposed of, for Memorial
iJay is not far off. Mr. Bartsch is very
well pleased with the way Easter trade
has set in and he is sure the season will
be a good one.

Frank Edgar

One of the recognized crack growers
near Boston is Frank Edgar, at whose
modern greenhouses one may always find
seasonable stock in the pink of perfec-
tion. Mr. Edgar is well prepared for the
coming holiday, having his dift'erent crops
just on time. Easter Lilies are ready, in
fine quality, entirely filling one large
house. There must be some 10,000. An
exceptionally well grown lot of French
Hydrangeas, consisting of the best sorts,
fills another large house. Baby Ramblers
of clean, dwarf growth and Genistas after
the same pattern are a pleasure to behold
in a third, big house. Then there are
trained Tausendschoen Roses, Hybrid per-
])etuals and Hybrid Teas, besides fine Cine-
rarias, Hyacinths and Tulips in pans.

MedfieM, Mass.

Peter Pedrizini, manager of the Med-
field Farms and Gardens Co., has already
started operations at his company's exten-
sive grounds. A number of acres of land
have been plowed and crops put in. This
year the company expects to enlarge its
plantings considerably. The erection of
additional greenhouses is also contem-
plated. A large, finely built and painted .
delivery truck has just been installed.

Waltham, Mass.

Peirce Bros.' Rose houses are sheltering
a fine lot of plants. The sixteen 300ft.
houses are planted with Columbia, Pre-
mier and Ophelia mostly. The plants, un-
der the careful management of Archie
Murray, are bearing an excellent crop
of first grade flowers. Just at present
Archie is rather busy with grafting young
stock. Madame Butterfly is to be planted
quite largely this season and a good deal
of the stock is already out of the grafting
frame and doing fine. One of the large
houses is being remodeled and will have
its roof and sides raised.

"Weedy New Lawns and the
Cause"

Reputable seedsmen are frequently con-
demned for selling Lawn Grass seed al-
leged to contain seeds of weeds; the same
is not a fact. Weed seeds exist naturally
in most all soils unless they are sterilized;
weeds are also introduced through the ap-
plication of animal manures; the wind
often carries them from place to jjlace;
a common means of introdurction is by
birds.

The best proof that most weeds are from
seed found in the soil (but which have not
grown before because they were below a.
depth that would allow germination) is
to take a plot in sod or that has pre-
viously been in cultivation, dig or plow
this up and do not sow or plant anything
thereon — iu a few weeks you have a rank
grow^th, usually all weeds. Nothing could
be more convincing than this.

Weeds will appear in lawns sown in
the Spring months in greater niunber than
in lawns sown in the late Summer and
Autumn. Most weeds are annuals, that
is, they will not reappear the following
season imless they are allowed to sow
their seed, therefore, their appearance
with the growth of young grass need
cause no alarm— the first or second mow-
ing usually disposes of them completely.
However, should some of them which are
hardier or longer rooted than others still
remain, they can easily be pulled out or
dug out before they mature.

A simple test of what is in a reliable
mixture of grass seed can be made by
taking a cigar box and enough soil to fill
it; heat the soil thoroughly so that any
plant life (in seed form) naturally there
will be destroyed, then sow some seed in
this box of soil and water it occasionally.
The result will be (should the grass seed
come from a reliable source) a clean
growth of young grass.

The first Crocuses of the season are reported from
various directions. This is practically one month ahead
of their appearance in 1930. No one can tell whether
Spring is really here or not, yet all indications point
that way and the inexperienced commuter is preparing
to plant, if he has not already done so. Experienced
men are not likely to be misled, however, into planting
outdoors much ahead of the average time which, in an
early season in this latitude, is somewhere in the neigh-
borhood of April 15, although for years past it has
been, on an average, much later than that.

New York City will inaugurate Daylight Saving on
Simday, April 24. The duration will be five months
instead of seven as last year — which is to be com-
mended. The probabilities are that the trunk lines will
not change from standard time; it is altogether prob-
able they will adjust their local service to meet this set-
ting forward of the clocks one hour as was done in
1920. The situation as to time will be somewhat awk-
ward to travelers and those from outside cities who
have business engagements in New York, but as these
days we adjust ourselves to everything, including income
tax problems, there is no fear but that all hands will
negotiate the coming-on time situation with equanimity.

"S}'nthetic milk,'" said an article in a New York City
newspaper the morning after the New York Flower
Show opened, "is still a thing of the future. But syn-
thetic Spring time has arrived with all the glorious
coloring and all the delicious fragrance that only a
flower show can create." After all, this is very largely
what the flow-er show in New York means to the
public; namely, that Spring is close at hand, when one
need not look beyond the confines of one's own garden
for at least some sort of floral display. But, of course,
the season for outdoor homegrown blooms is yet some
months off, and in the meantime the urge and the long-
ing for flowers created by the flower show has to be
satisfied by the offerings of the city florists. Moreover,
with the gratifying of this desire in the course of the
next few weeks, manj' a heretofore tepid flower lover
will become an ardent enthusiast and a regular buyer.
It is the truth that thousands of such transformations
take place every year, all unknown perhaps and un-
heralded, that makes the annual International Flower
Show the boon to the florist industry that it really is.

A Warning To Florists

Look Out for This Tali, Slender, Check-Passinif
Swindler

I would call your attention, and that of the trade
to another swindler, who is going the rounds — a young
man of about 35 years of age 6ft. lin. in height, weigh-
ing about 145 pounds : smooth face of raw boned type,
sallow complexion ; fairly well dressed, but with appear-
ance of a working man..

He passes himself off as a legitimate buyer by pur-
chasing a funeral piece for a deceased friend whom the
florist knows by name at least. He then presents in
payment a check which he says he received from his
mother in Elmira, N. Y. The check is drawn on the
Chemung Canal Trust Co. of that place, is for $30 and
is signed by Katharine A. Hackett. He takes in cash
the difference between the cost of the funeral piece and
the amount of the check which eventually is returned
to the florist marked "no good."

Three years ago we had another fellow in army uni-
form pass a check for $10 in much the same way. It
seems to me that a notice in an early issue of The
Florists' Exchange may be helpful in putting our
brother florists on guard.

Another Triumph for the Trade

There is something unsatisfactory about trying to
comment on a flower show when it is onlly half over —
it is like trying to tell how delicious a banquet was,
from which you had to depart after the second course.

Nevertheless, even today, Wednesday, as we g;o to
press, there is no shadow of doubt but that the Eighth
International Flower Show can be set down as a real
triumph to the credit of its creators and the trade as
a whole. We feel like congratulating — we do congratu-
late every person who has had a hand in it, or who
has been given an opportunity to enjoy and benefit by
it. This means everyone — exhibitors and visitors, ama-
teurs and professionals, dealers and the buying public,
the trade and society — all of whom are represented in
the throngs that mingle amid the ranks and masses of
perfect bloom and foliage.

After all, it is natural that the show should be the
event of the season. Spring is in the air and folks are
downright hungry for just such a glorious feast of
color and fragrance as the Palace is offering. The
four great gardens are in themselves a sight to be
treasured in the memory, a tribute to the perfection
of Nature and the skill of man. And each day, judg-
ing by the crowds, it seems as though the flower featured
for that particular session was the most powerful of
all floral magnets.

The Grand Central Palace, as the home of these ex-
hibits, is closing its history in a blaze of glorj'. The
International itself has set a new standard for future
shows to live up to, wherever they may be held.

every class in every school, even in elementary gr£ 1,
teaches the love of flowers and something of t r
practical care in the home. Moreover^ we are told l!
many of the school rooms have their window b( :;
which teachers and pupils find things of delight as .)
as objects upon which to lavish tender affection ;i
constant interest.

Of course the mere fact that they are found in sc i
rooms does not necessarily mean that flowers will n i
an appeal to childish minds ; some subjects encount i
in school rooms become all the more disliked for t
reason, since they become associated with unwelc e
tasks and boring discipline. In this instance we e
it that the teachers have learned how to make the fl -
ers do their own appealing — which is of course by -
ting the children take part in caring for thera i
sharing the joy of watching them grow and bios o
into beauty. Atlanta's plan is a splendid one and e
commend it to other communities, large and sraal: a
the knowledge that only good can come where e
younger generation is brought to a fuller knowledg i
the possibilities of flowers and a more complete e
for all they are and all they can offer.

Normal Prices to Boom Easter Sales

The New York Evening Post of March 8 carried a
half column article of the sort that is sure to do an
immense amount of good to the local trade. Similar
articles judiciously placed can do the same in other
cities and towns throughout the country.

The story referred to is built around an interview
with H. G. Perrj', general manager of Dards' well-
known fashionable retail shop. In it Mr. Perry points
out that flower prices, after soaring to unprecedented
heights during the war years and those immediately
following, are now approaching — and in some cases ar-
ri^-ing at — normal levels.

Actually, however, the reporter himself has empha-
sized the conditions as they affect the prospective con-
sumed even more strongly in his introductory para-
graphs than has Mr. Perry in his detailed comparisons
of past and present prices.

"Flowers are down," says the article. "You can buy
them again. * * * With the coming of Spring the shops
are places to which one may go again for joy and come
out with something other than bafflement in his button-
hole or in her belt or in a lovely long and twisted pack-
age. Flow-ers are down and Easter will be some fun
again this year.

"And no one is gladder about this than the men who
sell. Nothing is harder to do without than flowers when
one longs for them with the coming of Spring. It is
no less hard to see one's sales of flowers fall off and to
watch the stock, which comes in fresh every day or
every week as the case may be, go wasted and unused
on account of its high cost."

It will be noted throughout this article that no claim
is made that flowers are cheap. In other words, the
rights of the florists are upheld while at the same time
the opportunities open to the buyer are emphasized.
This is just the right note to strike and the more it is
struck through advertising in the newspapers and every
available a^'enue of publicity, the better will be the
results distributed among the retailers, wholesalers and
the growers as well.

" As the Twig is Bent "

We have been favored of late with various interest-
ing and valuable expressions of opinion on the subject
of how to educate the florists of tomorrow. This, of
course, is an important and timely subject always, but
an equally serious question, and one that is not often
discussed at length, is how to educate the flower lovers
and flower users of the future.

An interesting suggestion along this line is contained

The company was slow in assembling at (and af

A member: "This is the first club meeting I
attended for over ten years. Just felt like droppin
tonight."

Another member : "The very night, too, when
sandwiches and sarsaparilla have been provided."

The "faithful few" then trailed out with Sec. Yc

also occurred in Flower Show week.

Extracts from an address on tlic objects and aims
of the National floivcr Growers Association by
J. F. Anunann, before the Illinois State Florists
Association, at a meeting in Urbana on Mar. 8, 1921.
The objects of our Association are just as the coii-
stitution provides, the advancement of commercial flori-
culture under glass, devising ways and means for the
best and most economical way to that end, and these are
the aims :

Quarantine 37
mported Plants Must Be Inspected At Time of
I Packing and Washed Free From Earth

■ The Federal Horticultural Board has found it neces-
ary to cable the following instructions to foreign in-
pection oflicers :

Hereafter inspection must be made at time of pael;ing
nd raiist certify freedom from pests and that roots are
\asbcd free from earth.

The requirement of inspection at the time of pack-
ng has been necessitated by the abundant infestation
vith brovvntail moth and other insect pests found notably
n shipments of Rose and fruit stocks from France, indi-
ating perhaps that the inspection had been of a field
lature earlier in the season and did not necessarily ap-
)ly to the material at the time of packing. News state-
nents have already been issued relative to this situation,
rhe actual findings of browntail moth nests, for ex-
imple, up to this time, have amounted to 86 nests, sub-
stantially double the infestations found in the previous
:ight-year period under the quarantine. A radical im-
jrovement in the French inspection service and in the con-
lition of imported stocks must be made or the Depart-
nent will be compelled to place an embargo on French
mportations.

The requirement that roots of ornamentals and other
ilants shall be washed free from earth has been necessi-
ated by the various degrees of compliance by foreign
•xporters with this provision of the regulations. Many
mportations have come in with practically no effort at
freeing the plants from earth. In aggravated cases
.he earth came in cubes as lifted with the spade. All
ihipments which have shown radical failure of ob-
servance of this requirement of the regulations have
been and will be refused entry. To properly enforce this
requirement of the regulations and to leave no chance
for question, hereafter all rooted plants and plant roots,
other than clean bulbs, will be required to be washed
free from earth before shipment from the country of ex-
port, and to be so certified by the foreign inspector along
with the certification of freedom from insect pests and
plant diseases.

That such washing of plants is a perfectly possible
proceeding has been frequently demonstrated on the
part of shipments, notably from Japan. These shipments
have included such plants as Azaleas, for example, which
have a very dense, fibrous root system. Large ship-
ments of such plants have been received with the roots
thoroughly washed and rebound in btmches of moist
Sphagnum and thus prepared these plants have come
through in perfect condition ; in much better condition,
in other words, than where an effort has been made to
free the earth from the roots merely by shaking and
then protecting them with a scanty and often indifferent
packing of sphagntmi or other material.

These requirements as to inspection and certification
apply to all shipments from countries which have pro-
vided for inspection and certification in conformity with
the requirements of the plant quarantine act; in other
words, both to general and special permit material. The
requirement as to freeing the roots of plants from soil
by washing applies to all countries.

The authorizations which have been issued from time
to time for the use of subsoil, dune sand, coral sand (Ber-
muda) and gVound peat for the packing of bulbs is not
aiTected by this action. Such packing is, however, not
authorized for plants other than bulbs.

C. L. Marlatt,
Chairman Federal Horticultural Board.
Washington, D. C.

the public can be greatly benefited when they once
know Roses are uniformly graded, and they can buy
them more intelligently by getting acquainted with the
system. Folks as a rule are vitally interested in weights
and measures, grades and quality, and as a rule it does
not take them long to become ac(|uainted with a standard-
ized article, especially if an article is judiciously adver-
tised. Through our cooperative advertising we expect not
only to create a demand for our products but to also
teach folks so they can buy more intelligently, com-
pelling ourselves thereby to meet the standard which
such advertising represents, and thereby raising the
standard of our industry as well.

Third item : Credits and Collections need no expla-
nation. We know these can.be bettered by proper co-
operation and we know, too, that there is need for stabiliz-
ing both these items more uniformly.

The fourth item : Legislation : Here, too, we, no doubt,
arc beginning to realize the necessity for keeping in touch
with special state legislation where, as in some states,
laws are already being inaugurated that make the shipping
of live plants from one state into another prohibitive.
In many cases these laws arc arbitrary and unjust. What
assurance have we but that in the near future some master
mind may develop the idea that plant diseases are being
spread with the foliage on cut flowers, and that some
legislature will prohibit at once the shipping of cut
flowers from one State into another ? This sounds radi-
cal, but there are some quite radical people in this
world and a few are found among the deep thinking
students as well as in the politicians of this country.
Hence, we need to be on our guard.

The president of the National Association has ap-
pointed a standing committee to represent each of the
above mentioned subjects. These committees will pro-
ceed to acquire all the data possible with reference to
the various items they have up for consideration, call-
ing a meeting, if necessary, and inviting representative
growers and others interested from different parts of
the country to discuss and recommend for adoption such
{Continued on page 674)

The late Mrs. Richard Vincent, Jr.

First, Production : To combat insects and diseases,
studying elements entering into production, such as soil
analysis, commercial fertilizers, temperatures, methods
and cost of construction of greenhouses, growing lo-
cation with reference to marketing and disseminating
knowledge among members on various subjects of in-
terest to them.

Second, Marketing : Sales methods, methods of grad-
ing, storing, packing and delivery. To devise ways and
means of bettering selling conditions and eliminating
the present cause of waste in marketing plants and
flowers. To raise the standard of industry by national
advertising.

Third : Credits and Collections.

Fourth, Legislation: To keep generally informed on
legislation proposed affecting members of this asso-
ciation in either state or national legislation.

Now, then, what do we mean by the terms used
above? First, Production: We mean that by closer co-
operation of the growers, studying the diseases and in-
sects and elements entering into the production through
organization rather than through individuals, it cannot
only be done more rapidly but at a much less cost
to the individuals. The same holds true with the test-
ing of commercial fertilizers, methods and cost of con-
struction of greenhouses and production of plants.

So, with the second division, namely. Marketing : We
believe with closer cooperation of the growers them-
selves along with their representatives, the commission
men, better sales methods can be adopted, methods of
more uniform grading, the storing and keeping of
flowers, packing, and delivery, all can be worked out
so that it will prove a benefit to not only the whole-
saler and the grower, but to the retailer as well. Even

William W. Barnard

William Wilco.x Barnard, 65 years of age, president
of The W. W. Barnard Company, wholesale and retail
seed merchants, and a pioneer in the garden seed in-
dustry in Chicago, died at Los Angeles, Calif., March
10. He had been in failing health since 1915.

He was bom in Chicago in 1856. At the age of 18,
he entered the employ of D. S. Heffren Seed Co. In
1880 he entered the office of the Hiram Sibley Seed Co.
In 1888, under the firm name of W. W. Barnard & Co.,
he purchased the garden seed department of that busi-
ness, and in 1905 consolidated with the Goodwin-Harris
Co., incorporating as The W. W. Barnard Co. At the
time of his death it was one of the three largest garden
seed businesses in Chicago.

The funeral services were held on Thursday at
Bethany Union Church. The interment was at Mt.
Greenwood Cemetery. He , was unmarried and is sur-
vived by three sisters. Miss Alice S. Barnard, Mrs.
E. G. Howe, and Mrs. George Graham.

The Late Mrs. Richard Vincent, Jr.

The funeral services for Mrs. Vincent were held at
her home on Thursday, March 10, 1921, and the inter-
ment was in the cemetery at Chase, Md., of the Ebenezer
Church there, to which she had belonged for very many
years.

Numerous wreaths and funeral pieces were sent to
the funeral. We cannot give the full list but among
the donors were : American Dahlia Society, Mr. and
Mrs. A. L. Miller of New York, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac
H. Moss, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. F. Gude, Wm. F. Ekas,
Washington Floral Co., Lancaster Florists Club of
Pennsylvania, Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Graham, Leo
Niessen Co., A. T. De La Mare and Co. workers. Flo-
rists Club of Baltimore, employees of R. Vincent, Jr. &
Sons Co., Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Bauer, Louis Becker,
Thomas Vincent, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J, Johnston and
George Frasier. The pall covering the casket was of
white Roses and orchids.

Many members of the Baltimore Florists Club and
other florist friends called the day before the funeral.
Among the trade: Wm. F. Gude and Son, Otto Bauer
and A. Harper Hetherington, of Washington, D. C,
John Rider, James Glass, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac H. Moss,
Mrs. Mack Richmond, Fred C. Bauer, Joseph S. Mer-
ritt, Robert L. Graham, Jr., Wm. F. Ekas, and Charles
Patterson of Baltimore, attended the services. Mrs.
Vincent's six nephews were the pallbearers.

methods as can best be adapted to the entire country.
The names of these committeemen will be published in
the trade press, and any of them no doubt will be glad
to have suggestions with reference to the topics just men-
tioned from anyone interested therein.

We have provided in our bylaws for four classes of
memberships ; Class A are growers who belong to an
Allied Trades Association, carrying on cooperative ad-
vertising on the percentage plan, where 25 per cent of
their entire collections are turned over to this organiza-
tion for national advertising, these growers, by virtue of
such payments, automatically become members of this
Association ; 90 per cent of such funds are set aside for
national advertising.

Class B are growers who are members of some district
growers organization and they become members of this
Association by their district paying the sum of 50c. per
1000 sq. ft. of ground area covered with glass owned or
operated by them.

Class C are growers who are not members of either of
the above two named organizations, but who can be-
come members of the National Growers Association by
paying the sum of $3 per lOOO sq. ft. of ground covered
with glass, owned or operated by them, and paid into
this Association ; 75 per cent of such sum is set aside for
national advertising.

^ Class D are associate members. Firms who are not ac-
tive or voting members of this association, and who are
iiot florists, yet who are contributing to national pub-
licity through this organization, may become associate
members; 90 per cent of such sum is set aside for na-
tional advertising.

You will note from the foregoing that from three out
of the four classes a large percentage is set aside for
national advertising. This proves that national advertis-
ing will be one of the main factors in our work, which
is as it should be, and with such a program there is
no reason why every grower in the country should not
join this organization in one of the three classes for
growers, and thereby assist in the plan for the ad-
vancement and progress of our business.

All growers of flowers and flowering and ornamental
greenhouse plants, grown for commercial purposes, are
eligible to become members of this Association, and are
herewith kindly invited to join.

Ornamental Crab Apples

(Continued from page 669)

Bulletin state that it (callicarpa) is one of the best seed-
lings that has been raised there.

A very pretty shrublike tree, an introduction from the
colder parts of Japan, is Pyrus Sargentii, named in honor
of Professor Sargent. The stamens of the flower, sur-
mounted with its bright yellow anthers, show off to ad-
vantage along with the pure white petals. The fruits,
which are scarlet in color, are very persistent, and are
among the few not molested by the birds, so that quan-
tities of the fruit remain on the tree until Spring.

Of more treelike proportions than the other oriental
species is Pyrus spectabilis, known as the Chinese Crab,
and used considerably in European gardens; grown to a

single stem, in regular tree form, this makes one ;
prettiest trees imaginable for solitaire planting on
lawn. The flowers are quite large and semi-double, va >
ing in color from rose pink to white, the fruits are :
a reddish yellow color.

Now, as to the propagation of all of these wonder i
flowering trees. It would seem to most of us tli
since one and all of them are free seed bearers, the I>!
and natural method would be to just raise them ni
the thousand from seed, and so would it be were it r;
for the fact that, like many other plants, they eas:«
cross one with another when in flower, and hence the r':
suit would be an unknown mixture of hybrids, a grej
percentage of which would likely not be worth mut'
In addition we want to be sure of what we are offerii
our customers, otherwise, as in the selling of spurio
kinds of fruit trees, we make bad friends of those
whom we sell.

Of course where a species or variety is growing isi
lated from others it will be safe to assume the seedlini
would come true to type. To be assured, however, <
true perpetuation of all desirable kinds, the mode of pro]
agation is by grafting their scions on any of the stron
growing Crabs, a work that has mostly been done fc
us by European nurseries, but which will now be accon
plished by growers in this country. While assiduousl
increasing the stock, which at present is low, we shoul
also aim to increase public interest in them wheneve
we can, so that a more general knowledge of thei
qualities may be established and our Spring landscape!
and as well our Fall landscapes, be made still mor
beautiful and interesting.

Nursery Stock by Express

In a stirring letter from Lloyd C. Stark, presiden
of the A. A. of N., that gentleman draws attention t(
the present rates for carrying nursery stock by ex<
press which today almost doubles that of a year or st
ago. Mr. Stark draws attention to the fact that the
Federal Government through its Agricultural Depart-
ment, and the various state governments have fostered
and endeavored to build up the nursery business, especially
as it applies to the distribution of fruit bearing trees,
for decades past, in the endeavor to make America
productive and to reap a bountiful harvest of fruit and
grain, and that preferential express and freight rates have
always been recognized as desirable on these staples m
order to stimulate their production and propagation. The
express rates have now been raised to such a point that
it is going to materially reduce the planting of nursery
stock. Because it takes from eight to ten years to make
an orchard bear, Mr. Stark points out the fact that when
government officials realize the shortage of fruit, it will
be too late to remedy the fault.

All interested in the transportation as in the receipt
of nursery stock by express are requested by Mr.
Stark to make a strong protest against the prevailing
express rates through their Congressman or Senators,
Interstate Commerce Commission, the American Express
Co. Pres. Lloyd Stark with address at Louisiana, Mo.,
will, we are sure, be pleased to send copies of the circular
of which we are making mention to anyone interested,

F. R. Pierson's Garden

, a rcprcscntati\-c garden, llial ul !•'. Iv. Ticrson,
Fa town, N. Y., is a positive deliglit ; it fits the
,ch iile from A to Z. Criticism may be leveled at the
dCround painting, but it serves its purpose and
ea:i nothing to the imagination. No one can mentally
)ic c what a house fronted by flower beds, etc., really
oil like it the house is not visible. The background
:na.'s one to visualize the actual thing. True, it is in
nil turc, and one may well declare that in conceiving
hiu'ar^en, its makers were attempting a surprising
icnre, inasmuch that the whole is in miniature, yet no
nil ture plants are utilized. Anyone might copy it
ind lake a coanpletc garden, ten or fifty times as large
— it.'ould still be in proportion.

.A anged on a gradual slope, one sees the real lawn,
;he arious dot shrubs thereon, including Laburnum,
Ac*, and Magnolia. The base planting around the
1011 is perfect, wonderful pieces of Andromeda flori-
luri and Lilacs being shaded by charming silver
Jircs in tlieir Spring foliage. Here, near the house,

imoa. Phlox subulata, and other things. The outer
:dg('f the lawn is finished off with a beautiful border
eat'ng Tulips, Daffodils. Spiraeas, Heucheras, Del-
ihir ms, Deutzias, etc. Hydrangeas with Tulips may
,ppi- out of place, Delphiniums, too, but the idea is
0 s \v where such plants might stand.

N everything in this garden is at its full. Flowering
Ian are purposely shown in bud. In one corner is
he ater garden with its Njiuphaeas and Water
lyaiths. Irises and ferns surround it and flourish on
;s rk-bound circumference. Water trickles over the
ockinto the pool in a most natural manner. Leading
ronthe rockery on the other corner, one sees the
tepso the Rose garden where miniature beds of Mrs.
utbh and Baby Tausendschoen Roses rival other beds
t brid Teas. American Pillar, Tausendschoen,
Ion y Perkins, etc., rambling over the fences, make
;^pi(Jre that many a home gardener will dream about.

enthuse over it.

Other Exhibits

.Ml closely adjacent to the gardens and around the
outer walls arc the beautiful displays of cut blooms and
flowering plants staged by various trade exhibitors.
These, perforce, we must deal with separately. Here,
to», Ma.x Schling, the only retailer to make a display,
has his flower shop with its window filled with some
remarkable creations in the way of baskets and boxes.
Preserved Roses and Zinnias, treated in 1913, and still
looking comparatively fresh, are of interest, especially
the Zinnias, as they demonstrate what advances have
been made in these flowers during the past eight years.
Zinnias, today, are three times as large as those shown
by Mr. Schling. The evcrclianging electric sign inside
the shop is, too, a pleasing attraction.

We cannot, at this point, overlook the wonderful
plants of Philadelphus virginalis shown near the gar-
dens by A. L. Miller of Jamaica, L. I. One might almost
say that these are a great novelty, because the variety
has ne\er been shown in such condition before. With
flowers two inches across, they rival Silver Moon Roses.
Up aloft, too, Mr. Miller puts up a display of commer-
cial plants. Awards or glory affect him not — Mr.
Miller put this collection up to help the show. More of
it anon.

Nor must we neglect the magnificent grouping of
Camellias, Azaleas, Genistas, Tulips, Callas, Primulas,
Acacias, Cyclamen, etc., staged near the big gardens by
Wm. Coe, Planting Fields, Oyster Bay, N. Y. Mrs.
F. A. Constable's group of Clivias and Acacias, Cibo-
tium ferns and Cyclamen, is worthy of mention. Finer
Cyclamen than these are not to be found in the hall.

The Tea Garden

This was most elaborately decorated with evergreens,
the entire walls and pillars being covered. Subdued
lights gave it an eerie appearance. So far as we could
note during the first day, the garden was a source of
attraction. An excellent band of musicians discoursed
in this garden during the afternoon. There is every
reason to assume that Mrs. Joseph R. Truesdale and
her committee were gratified with the results of their
undertaking.

The Bird Baths

This was a special class instituted after the schedule
was issued and was solely open to members of the Gar-
den Clubs of America. As an exhibit it was decidedly
unique ; we had seen nothing like it before. Some eight
or nine clubs were competing and, apart from the Bird
Bath which was the feature in each instance, a more or
less attractive little garden was used in conjunction
with it. The silver cup was awarded to the club at
Somerset Hills, N. Y., the exhibit being a bird bath over
which hung a weeping Acacia; Iberis and Tulips grow-
ing in the^ grass were especially noticeable. The Short
Hills Clubs (N. J.) gained a silver medal. This ex-
hibit, to our mind was the most artistic. The kneeling
figure of a nude boy peering into the pool gave it a
touch of life ; small trees. Irises, ferns, etc., made this
a most attractive little piece of work. The other ex-
hibits w-ere all of considerable merit, showing original-
ity and distinctiveness. Each of these bird bath gardens
occupied a space covering about 6ft. square, and the
clever way in which the various subjects were arranged
gave evidence of considerable knowledge in the art of
garden designing.

City Gardens Club

An exhibit of considerable interest was that of the
City Gardens Club. This represents an average dwell-
ing such as one may see In any city; a dirty frontyard
with an ash can; various old tins, pieces of paper, etc..
lay around In confusion, while the clothesline, from
which is suspended various items of wearing apparel,
gave to this e.xhihit a most realistic slum street aspect.
Next door, and separated by a fence, is a similar house
in which is supposed to reside a garden lover. While
plants cannot be grown on such a stone yard, yet a
fountain in the center, with pots of clipped bo.x and
other evergreens, serve to give it a decidedly pleasing
appearance. Window boxes gay with red Geraniums
gave it color, while creepers rambling over the fence
serve to hide what might otherwise be a dreary aspect.
Taken as a whole these exhibits from the various gar-
den clubs are decidedly novel and interesting. The
window boxes, as well, should not be forgotten, al-
though owing to their limited size no great array of
flowers therein is possible. That the visitors were en-
thusiastic we have every reason to believe for we saw
several of the ladies at work, who between times seated
themselves on odd boxes or any other oddments that
offered them rest.

Cut Roses

When it comes to drawing rapturous exclamations
from the ordinary man and woman of the street, noth-
ing can equal the Rose as the flower to bring this about.
And it would seem that the man of the street and his
mate are determined to see these Roses.

As these notes are written (3 p.m.) the crowd is
pouring in at a great pace, reminding this writer of the
days before the war when a living stream of London's
elite poured into the Chelsea Hospital Show grounds in
such volume that it seemed, impossible that so great
a crowd could ever get a chance to see anything.

New York's show is undergoing a similar experience,
much to the delight of the promoters, although not
perhaps to the benefit of some of the exhibits, which,
when abutting on the walks, are apt to get brushed and
rubbed. Were it possible, these mighty vases of Roses
deserve to be roped off. They cannot be raised on to
the bench as are those set up by the private growers,
so they perforce flaunt their beauty right where the
public rubs them, touches them, smells them, and gener-
ally worries them.

JehosophatI Were ever such Roses shown before in
such quantities? True, they are just the favorites of the
commercial growers, so that one sees none of those
gorgeous Pernettiana varieties which delight the heart
of the home gardener but, for all that, they are well
calculated to arouse unbounded enthusiasm In the hearts
of the flower buyer, and the hopes of the home gar-
dener.

A lady asked whether It would be possible to grow
Roses any way approaching these in a garden: "Sure,"
we said, "if you cover the garden with glass and do all
the things these growers do." But to assuage her ap-
parent disappointment, I explained that even without
glass, she might get some really good Roses if she
worked hard and often to keep off the bugs and files
that were always looking out for Roses that are neg-
lected.

But to these show Roses ; all are fine, and some are
more wonderful than others. When eight growers
clash in the 100 Premier class : gee I some judging re-
quired. But Joseph Hill Co., Richmond, Ind., beat the
bunch. Not only are the flowers superb, but they are
staged, really staged, as flowers are meant to be staged.
Men may talk and say artistry is not necessary for
comrnercial classes. Stuff! I say. Roses do not grow
100 in a cluster ; even the ramblers grow artistically.
Flowers, as a rule, bloom so that each has a chance to
show Itself, and why not display the same artistry in
vases? If there Is any doubt about it, see the great
vase of Premier and listen to the voice of the people.

But Premier is not the only great Rose on view.
Crusader, as shown by Joseph Heacock Co. ; Hadley
frorn Duckham-Pierson Co. — what a wonderful Rose
is this; Hoosier Beauty looks dull beside it; Mrs. Aaron
Ward from Traendly & Schenck; Frank W. Dunlop,
truly wonderful as shown by the Heacock Co. ; Double
White Killarney by A. N. Pierson, Inc.,— one almost
hears ribald laughter when it is said to be played out. Seen
as set up, not dumped, it is great.

Ophelia from The Florex Gardens, wonderful in
color and so distinct that it would not be eligible were
it not that the schedule says : Ophelia or any of its
sports. Frances Scott Key is truly fine as representing
the old time form of the H. P. before the advent of
H. T.'s, but perhaps a trifle soft looking. That it has
merit is proven by the fact that F. R. Pierson shows it
in such form.

Pilgrim, too, is good as shown by F. R. Pierson; It
reminds one of some of those old bedding Roses such
as Lady Ashtown,

The Tarrytown pink seedling Is interesting; big and
hefty, like a giant La France, and Noe & Ruzicka's
seedling red is decidedly pleasing and sweet scented.
Columbia needs no prasie and the competition Is fierce.
Edward Towhill, Roslyn, Pa. shows a good vase of
.\merican Legion not for competition. In the private
growers' classes, there is a decided falling off. The same
varieties are scarcely recognizable in some Instances,
and yet none of them are poor; thev simply appear
dwarfed in comparison. J. E. Widener, Ogontz, Pa.
Wm. Kleinheinz, supt., is the only exhibitor that rivals
the commercial growers, and his several vases are de-
cidedly good. One positively glows to find the old
Magna Charta here in wonderful form.

The Tables

Nearly a dozen private growers fight for supremacy,
and Mrs. H. McK. Twombly, Madison, R. E. Tyson,
supt., wins by a short lead. The careful and effective
use of Farleyense fern and Selaginella in conjunction
with Lady Hilllngdon makes this table a delight. Sev-
eral others are very near it, Indeed, the entire lot are

676

The Florists' Exchange

decidedly pleasing. Ophelia, Mme. Collette Martinet,
and Mrs. Aaron Ward are among the varieties used,
and it must be admitted that Roses with a more or less
tinge of yellow are most effective. Under the artificial
light the pink shades do not show up with that warmth
so noticeable in the varieties mentioned.

The Only Vegetable Exhibit

Mrs. Chas. M. Schwab (N. Ireland, gdr.), Lorrette,
Pa., makes an interesting display with forced vegetables.
Spread out on the flat table, upon paper dishes, the
exhibit is not so effective as might be, but it neverthe-
less attracts an enormous amount of attention. Grow-
ing Tomato plants in fruit, and Lima and bush Beans
are a feature, while dishes of Beans, Beet, Tomatoes,
Potatoes, Onions, Mushrooms, Cauliflower, Radishes,
Spinach and Lettuce serve to add variety.

Tuesday Evening Impressions

The great building was assuredly alive with people
and, in some spots the traffic signal system of Fifth ave.
was badly needed.

The leading Rose exhibits had now been set among their
owners' plant collections where they were not only safe
but showed to greater advantage.

For some reason, the wide space near the orchid
groups was less crowded than any corner we touched,
and we fell to wondering whether the floral aristocrats
were a little over the heads of the crowd.

On the mezzanine floor, the crowd was both strong
and interested especially around the tables, and among
the sundry exhibits where things mechanical were on
view.

One may walk this show many times and keep findmg
fresh things. Some people may delude themselves into
believing they have seen the entire show in an hour or
so. We tried hard and long to find the blue Sweet Pea,
Mrs. Harding, which the newspapers had forecasted,
but, without success. We did, however, find

The White Amaryllis, shown by John Scheepers Co.
Although it bore a G. M. label, we confess to a feeling
of disappointment that it had passed its best before we
saw it.

Another novelty we discovered by accident was a pan
of the dainty soft pink dwarf Japan Lily, Lilium ru-
bellum which is known to few, although now 34 years
old. A delightful little flower, shown by H. H. Burns
of Madison ave.

We advocate that new and rare plants shown for the
first time, should be allocated to a special position where
one may find them easily. It may be good publicity for
the lay press to talk about this and that novelty, but
every exhibitor and pressman grows tired of answering

the eternal question where is . Ninety-nine out of

every hundred who read about plant wonders at a show,
pounce upon the man carrying pencil and note-book;
instinct leads them to him, and it matters not where he
goes. This writer humbly suggests that all novelties
staged for award be allocated to a certain prominent
position and that a ten horsepower lunged megaphone
operator stand on the stairway to direct the people so
that their own and the misery of others may at once be
alleviated.

The Carnation the Feature

The display of blooms set up by the various competi-
tors is sufficient to convince anyone that there is no
actual falling off in quality or popularity of the Carna-
tion. The public may be accepted as the chief arbiter
in matters of this kind, because when brought right
down to rock bottom. Carnations are grown for one
purpose only, public use.

The millions of plants that are grown throughout the
East are almost entirely handled by the commercial
man; few if any have ever made a claim that they are
garden flowers as are Roses, therefore, it follows that
these millions of plants are wholly and solely devoted
to bloom production to meet a public demand.

And for the purpose of showing the public just how
good Carnations are for every purpose, numerous grow-
ers are in the arena with their best samples. The coni-
petition is heavy, both among the commercial and pri-
vate growers. The latter have a better opportunity for
showing how effectively Carnations may be used, and
right well do they demonstrate their prowess on the
tables.

The Tables

The palm for Carnation table decoration is given to
Thomas Aitchinson of Mamaroneck, N. Y. It goes
without saying that a better qualified trio of judges than
Henry Penn, Max Schling and Edward Sceery could
not be chosen, therefore it would be almost idle to
analyze the why and wherefore of their decision. So

far as we can see, the winner scores on the tastefulness
of arrangement, light and airiness, and the fact that^ he
used a fancy variety with a tint of yellow. This writer
by no means claims to be a color artist, nor an expert
judge, but we do know that pink on yellow in a flower
makes it specially useful for tables under artificial light.
Mrs. Ridley Watts (A. Golding, gdr.), Morristown,
N. J., certainly has a great table, and for artificial light
a better pink variety than Laddie cannot be desired. A
trifle massive but the glow, due again to an underlay of
yellow, though faint, makes it a great decorative va-
riety. If this display does not increase a desire for
Carnations as table flowers, and especially for flakes on
yellow ground, then we are surely poor at gauging the
public taste.

The Vase Classes

In the vase classes, too, owing to the smaller number
of blooms required, the private growers were better
able to set up their vases and keep them free from
damage by the passing throng.

Generally speaking, the private growers are more
readily able to approach the commercial men for quality
than with Roses. Most of the flowers staged are of
specially fine quality and, in some instances, lacked noth-
ing in the way of stiffness and length of stem.

The popular Matchless, Enchantress Supreme, Belle
Washburn, Laddie, Benora, etc., are among the favored,
and it is interesting to note that while crimson is not a
great market color, among private growers it is strongly
favored. Pocohontas and others are superbly staged. ^

Here is a chance for studying psychology. Why is
deep crimson in Carnations little called for while red
Roses are in great favor?

In connection with these classes it might well be made
a regular order that all cut flowers staged in competi-
tion, be named. With Roses, the varieties are stipu-
lated in the schedule. With Carnations, however, the
color alone is called for, and thus we find everyone is
desirous of knowing what this, that or the other is.
Definite knowledge is better than guessing and, with
few exceptions, one is not even safe in guessing at
varietal names.

The decorative vase class calling for 100 or more
blooms with any foliage is a veritable triumph. Three
enter for it, and each competitor displays good taste.
Mrs. Henry Chubb (Peter Smith, gdr.), Glen Cove,
N. Y., wins with a fine mixture of Laddie, and Match-
less with Asparagus Sprengeri for folij^e. The vase
is a birch bark three-legged affair, and it would, indeed,
make a good room ornament as it stands on view.

Mrs. Wm. D. Guthrie (J. A. Winsock, gdr.), of
Locust Valley, has the same combination but uses As-
paragus plumosus and Maidenhair fern for the finish-
ing touch. Third place is given to Mr. T. E. Lewis
(J. W. Smith, gdr.), Ridgefield, Conn. Here the same
varieties are used, but some of the Laddie flowers are
sporting flakes of red. Truly a great class.

Commercial — Vaies of 100

The commercial classes are more or less well con-
tested. Specially warm is the competition for white.
The Springfield Floral Co. is in great form and in
several instances, either romps home first or second.
With white this concern leads M. Matheson of Baldwin,
N. Y., but with dark pink, positions are reversed. The
Springfield Co. also leads with light pink. S. J. God-
dard, Framingham, Mass., makes no mistake with Lad-
die; if anything his flowers are finer than ever.

Strouts, Inc., Biddeford, Me., have matters their own
way with crimson, yellow and white variegated. Maine
Sunshine, Donald and their rosy pink centered seedling
are shown. The Springfield Floral Co. leads with scar-
let. In the class for new varieties, Strouts, Inc., wins
the S. M. with Improved Mrs. C. W. Ward. The firm
also shows the pink and white referred to.

Among other competitors are Springfield Floral Co.
L. I., with a deep salmon pink; Herman Schwartz, Cen-
tral Park, L. I., with a fine pale pink; and Henry
Hession, Brooklyn, with a good crimson.

Decorated Baskets

With the presses eagerly awaiting these notes there
is little more we can say at this time. A number of
beautifully decorated vases and baskets are shown by the
various garden clubs, and it must be owned that some
of the exhibitors have little or nothing to learn in the
art of flower decoration. Some of the pieces are both
original and clever, but at the moment the official an-
nouncement of awards had not been made.

Taking the baskets, the combinations of the Greenwich
Garden Club, Conn., and that of the Somerset Hills
Club, N. J., are decidedly good. The former is made
up with pink, yellow and white Snapdragons, deep blue
Delphiniums Mimosa and Wm. Copeland Tulips, with ap-
propriate foliage ; the latter consists of pink Roses, white
Carnations, white Lilac, Lilies. Callas and Primula obcon-
ica. To our eyes, these look good enough for winning
first and second. The vases, bowls and table centers are
all highly pleasing.

The weather, though threatening this morning, ^
kept fine and a great crowd is in attendance. I
first and second days broke all previous records fo .
tendance and today the prospects are for another cli jf
past records. On Tuesday something like $1500 ir .-.
cess of last year's second day was taken; a good auj if.

HENRY PENN'S MESSAGE
Everybody Sells Something or Loafs

Mystery or Mastery

Have you ever stopped to think that there is no MYSTERY in
Success. It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It is based on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that underlie business activity and human life! It
comes from MASTERY of these laws, and their application to one's
work! To know these laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligently is sure to bring sxiccess whatever one's undertaking.
MASTERY is the key-word, not MYSTERY! The change of one let-
ter makes all the difference in the world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Business conditions are
rapidly changing. Just a short time ago there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more goods
than buyers. Instead of a seller's market, we have a buyer's market.
All business, or in other words, all human activity, in its last analysis
is dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill; the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant his merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice f Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your sales-
manship.
This message is taken from the Sheldon Science of Business of which

I am a class member at Boston, and I think it contains meat for all

florists.

EFFECTIVE • RETAIL • METHODS

THE ways ol our people arc clianging, going tor-
ward to greater and better things. The flower
business has not been overlool<cd and tlie great
striving, tlie intense energy displayed has caused search
for new material, and for a better way of doing things.
.\t intervals there appears an individual, a veritable
business Napoleon, better equipped, better trained, who
outshines bis fellow men and puts the retailing of flow-
ers on a higher plane than before. The crude methods
of twenty years ago are no longer adaptable to the dis-
position of flowers in the larger
centers. It takes modern ways,
modern thought and particularly the
young blood and zeal, plus the ad-
vantages offered in the larger univer-
iities of the country.

The Five Salient Points
The five salient points in the re-
tailing of flowers, indoor trimming,
mlesmanship, eonstructive arrange-
ment, delivery and advertising, when
organized harmoniously then proper-
ly generated, bring about the best re-
mits.

Window Trimming

Window space is valuable, and
must at all times be put to its highest
:arning capacity. In cities where
thousands pass a window daily, no
effort in tasteful windows is wasted.
Unlike other commodities, flowers
bring with them a refreshing change
at short intervals. The beautiful
Spring flowers as Jonquils, Hya-
cinths, Lilacs and Sweet Peas per-
mit one scheme of suggestive decora-
tion. Stately Lilies, Azaleas, Rho-
iodendrons and Acacias so closely
associated with Eastertide, then gor-
geous baskets of Pasonies, Daisies, or
perhaps a bank of Roses, are most
alable when sho^vn in the window.
Summer with its Hydrangeas,
Golden Glow, Asters and hardy per-
ennials offers an inviting field for
the window decorator and in the
northern cities he often obtains
wonderful results.

Chrysanthemums and Rubrum
Lilies or perhaps newer varieties of
Roses or Carnations prove an
.Autumn attraction.

At no other place is it possible
to see such beautiful and varied
stock as in a florist's window at
Christmas. Well finished wreaths
of berries and evergreens, elegant
flower plant baskets, cut flower
water baskets, artistic boxes of cut
flowers, old-fashioned bouquets, cor-
sages of orchids, varying in price
from $1 to $25, all give the success-
ful dealer cause for thought and an
inspiration for greater things.

The flower shop window adver-
tising in Fifth Avenue (New York
City) at holiday time is reflected
over the country by the many who
carry the scenes in word or memory
to far distant points.

: By IRWiN BERTERMANN, Indianapolis .

The writer, known to every retailer throughout
the country, discourses on the five salient points
of the retailing of flowers, which he defines as
indoor trimming, salesmanship, constructive ar-
rangement, delivery and advertising^ all of which,
when organized harmoniously and properly gen-
eraled, cannot fail but bring about the hest of
results. We commend this paper to every retailer,
whether he be an old hand at the business or just
coming into it.

Artistic Arrangement

Salesrnanship, the all important
factor in disposing of flowers, is
too many times underestimated. On it
very much the entire outcome financially,
salesman must be able to satisfy at all times,
^rade and maintain it under all sorts of circumstances
iemands bright, energetic thought and action. One
leeds be a shrewd judge of human character, be cour-
eous and find friends upon all occasions, be able to for-
nulate new ideas in the use of flowers, and outclass
:;ompetitors in the art of merchandising them.

Constructive arrangement, although taught in several
chools, is best acquired through years of experience and
l^iowledge of the exact needs at any one time. It takes
''•i*j''^u '° arrange a lovely spray of flowers, much de-
ailed thought for a large decoration, decided taste in
"akmg a funeral arrangement On patience in con-
tructring a Colonial nosegay and clever ability in de-
landmg praise for the flower scheme at a dinner party.

Fine specimen of Azalea indica in a rattan hoop-handled basket, set off with a ribbon bow.

The present supply of this plant is quite limited as compared with that of a few years ago.

A captain of industry and ingenuity may use his highest
ability in combining flowers in innumerable ways, for
they must always be novel and worthy of the minutest
inspection. It is a noble striving to furnish things beau-
tiful at the time of birth or death, or in sending them to
those we love or in whose grace we would stand higher.

Telegraphing Orders

The close relationship between the inhabitants of one
city with those of another, has caused a new channel for
the outlet of flowers. These are being used for the fur-
therance of business and social aSfairs at a distance.
Telegraphing of flowers, a principle greatly enlarged
during the past few years, is now administered by a
national bureau in Detroit. Several people are employed
to devote their entire attention to the thousands of de-
tails which pass through that office at short intervals.

Thus one of the greatest assets of the whole flower
business is and should always be under the direction of
,1 majority of the reputable firms of .America. Europe
is waking up to the wonderful opportunity of mer-
chandising at a distance, and F. T. D. organizations will
certainly become factors there when conditions are once
more permanently settled. A close estimate gained from
questionnaires of the amount of flower orders in- and
out-bound, places the same at $5,000,000 annually, an
enormous sum in the aggregate. The membership of
2000 florists or more in itself guar-
intees a large volume of business.
The amount of telegraph business
transacted by some of our larger
shops amounts to $25,000 annually,
and when it is considered that less
than one-fourth of the population is
acquainted with the telegraphic idea,
it is only logical to conclude that the
opportunity is a good one.

Prompt Delivery

Delivery and promptness should
be synonymous in the flower busi-
ness. It does not matter so much
what means are employed to do so,
as to have flowers at a specified
time. The automobile, with its great
convenience and adaptability to tem-
peratures, has, of course, outdis-
tanced all other means of delivery.
Messengers in the large cities are
1 combination necessity in bringing
the price per package to a reasonable
basis.

Two messengers should be re-
quired for every auto in service.
The average price of a package de-
livered by messenger in cities over
50,000 population is 2Sc.; that by
automobile 35c. to 60c. By the use
of both the cost is cut to a satis-
factory figure of 30c. to 40c. per
package.

Advertising

Advertising, the life of the flower
business, plays an enormous part in
each day's transactions. Beautiful
shop windows are an important ad-
I'ertising medium. The pulling prop-
erties of the same being readily
tested by displaying an attractive ar-
ticle for a certain number of days
and noting the amount of direct
sales from that particular depart-
ment. It is obvious that it is essen-
tial to select some article for daily
sale.

The auto, aside from its intended
purposes, is undoubtedly a fine ad-
vertising medium. What difference
if one pays a certain sum, say $500
annually, for a stationary ad or
a moving signboard, painted on
three sides and appearing before
thousands in the prominent thor-»
oughfares daily at indirect cost.

A conservative method of adver-
tising is that of depending upon ele-
gance in the arrangement of flowers
and particular service rendered. This
sometimes proves impracticable in
the face of aggressive opposi-
tion.
Newspaper advertising, the old favorite, has lost none
of its popularity, particularly where it is noted that one
Chicago retailer pays $20,000 per armum for space. He
advertises only specific articles and takes advantage of
market conditions, 3000 American Beauty Roses, then
130,000 Violets, or 8000 Roses are among his sales
recorded in day.

Influence of the National Flower Shows

The large national flower shows held at intervals
figure largely as an educational feature for the public
and fill the gap between producer and consumer, ac-
quainting them with the infinite ways of using beautiful
flowers in the home and garden. The next national
annual show at Cleveland, in the new building, is to be
a tremendous affair, and will occur at a most opportune

Historic Landmark Changes
Quarters

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

You will be surprised to hear we are
leaving the Bowery and no doubt will ask
why? The fact is we have contemplated
the move for some time.

We have for the past number of years
lone little or no trade in the neigh-
borhood, our business being conducted
over the telephone. It has been from
customers who always "left it to us/' as
^he saying is, having been well recom-
mended or knowing us from past per-
formances. These we expect to hold and
as we have always catered to a sort of
semi-wholesale business, ive will be ex-
cellently situated in the heart of the
wholesale district at 51 W. 28th st.

Yes, sentiment is bound to creep in and
make us feel lonely leaving the good old
Bowery, especially myself as I was born
there and have spent many happy days on
that famous thoroughfare of New York
city.

The F. T. D. A., I might say, has been
a big factor in our making the change for
while we felt and know that we are well
thought of among our out of town broth-
ers, the Bowery to them has always been
a drawback. Therefore, we want them to
I: now they will have a representative right
in the market who will at all times be
at their service.

Some one has asked me what my father

would think? I feel he would be pleased,

otherwise I would not make the change.

j I know it will bring me closer to my fellow

'i ovists, the friendship of whom we all

need, and if we can continue their well

wishes in the future as we have in the

oast T have no doubt of our success. I

hope the name LeMoult, as founded by

ray father, will always be a credit to the

i trade, and that through hard work we will

I help in that wonderful blessing of making

' every man, woman and child not only love

I flowers, but know that there is only one

i true happiness and that is, to make others

I hanpy, and no better way is there than to

I "Say it with Flowers."

I Adolph LeMoult & Son, Inc.

Trees in Snow

"Trees in Snow" appeared in the New
York Times Feb. 26. It's certainly worthy
of a place in these columns even though
we may not entirely agree with the writer
in all she says, especially in the matter of
the Spruces not holding much snow. All
who o%vn Spruces would be well pleased if
such were the fact. The Pine trees, it
is true, are apt to retain more snow than
is good for them. While the Hemlocks
have "no clutch" they are, to the writer's
mind, the handsomest of the evergreens
when snow reigns king.

You don't know Cedar trees unless
You've seen them in the snow —

I live among the trees
And so I know !

The Pine trees hold their arms too wide
And catch too much, W

The Hemlocks spread their fingers out
And have no clutch.

The Spruces all are built too close

And don't hold snow —
I live among the Winter trees

And so I know!

The Junipers are very low,

And there's a pointed Fir
That gathers Httle rings of snow

To lie 'round her.

So every tree it catches some

Of the white stuff,
But wise old Cedars, standing tall,
Hold just enough !

j The Logical Store for Telegraph Orders for Westchester County

This is a picture of our new retail flower store and is part of our recently erected building. A rep-
resentative of this paper wrote as follows concerning the extension of our business: "The building is
architecturally beautiful and built throughout of the finest materials. It has a depth of about 1 00ft. and
a frontage of about 40ft. and 48ft. high. The facade of the first story is entirely of plate glass and green
granite and is entered from the sidewalk by central double full glass doors." The main floor of the build-
ing is entirely devoted to our cut flower and plant business. The supporting pillars, ceiling, mirrors,
marble counters, etc., make for a most inviting store for the public. We have a beautiful conservatory
40ft. wide, 50ft. long and 20 ft. high in the rear of the store.

This brief description is presented so that fellow retailers in all sections of
the country will know that we are thoroughly equipped to take care of their
telegraph orders for Westchester County, and thereby be assured of service
equal to that given their local trade.

Our stock, comprising cut (lowers, plants, bulbs, seeds and nursery lines is in excellent condition this
Spring. We have an extensive landscape department, too, awaiting your favors.

Something New in After-Wedding
Receptions |

Here is a case where the bride's flow- '
ers were made use of to ornament a tea |
tray, the credit for the idea being due to !
a bridesmaid who caught the bouquet as ]
the bride threw it from the top of the [
stairs. The flowers therein were carefully i
dried and pressed and arranged on. a
background of panne velvet under the glass
top of the tray, the original bouquet being
a fluffy circular model composed of pink
Vanda Orchids and Valley Lilies edged
with real point lace and ostrich tips and
tied with transparent net. The price
charged for this creation was $150; it
was the work of Charles Uttley, The
House of Flowers, Harrisburg, Pa.

10,000 Tulips for Brooklyn's Park

More than 10,000 Darwin Tulips of the
Gretchen variety have recently been plant-
ed in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, ac-
cording to a newspaper item. The ar-
rangement, which has been carried out
under the direction of Dr. George M.
Reed, is along naturalistic lines, instead
of following the customary formal bed-
ding plan found in so many city parks. A
strikingly beautiful effect is anticipated by
flower lovers who have watched or learned
of the proceedings.

The Market

Mar. 10. — Business lias moved along '
on an even tenor and although there has
been nothing startling happening stock
ha8 cleaned up fairly well. Daffodils con- ■
tinue to be the long suit. The main crop j
of Golden Spurs is now coming in and j
the prevailing retail price is from 35c. to [
50. per doz. In the market, where Daffo- \
dils are sold by the thousand they sell j
as low as five dozen for $1. Since the
advent of the market the retail shops are
not nearly so popular with the amateur
florist.

Freesias continue to be in good demand
and the Darwins are making their first
appearance. Callas are plentiful now, but
at Easter it will be a job to find a dozen.
The Carnation crop is coming in somewhat
heavier, but still they are not enough to
create anywhere near an oversupply as
the outoftown trade is still a heavy factor
in the demand for this flower.

Spring blossoms of all kinds are much
in evidence in the shop windows and the
first green Carnations are shown. The
Rose situation is nicely taken care of for
the present and it is a pleasure to sell the
flowers. In small flowers there is a full
list, including Pansies, Forgetmenots,
Baby Primroses, Lily of the Valley, cut
Primula, Violets and Sweet Peas.

Potted stock is also plentiful, but with
the waning of the bulbous stock season
will be much depleted. Hydrangeas and
Ehododendrons have been added to the
list. Some potted Pansies and Daisies are
finding favor.
New Shop Opens Auspiciously

Saturday, the 5th, was the opening
day for Morrison's street's new flower
shop. This is called Swetland's Flower
Shop and its slogan is "Say it with Flow-
ers and Prove it with Candy," which we
vdW have to say hits the nail on the head.
An ad in the newspapers telling of the
event and that free nosegays were to be
given away, brought the crowds and up-
ward of 3000 bouquets were given away
when the supply ran out. After ten
o'clock in the evening music was furnished
which considerably enlivened the crowd.

The shop is very artistically arranged
with a large refrigerator, cooled by its
own ice machine, at the rear for all stock.
The office is in the balcony above, which in
turn leads upstairs to a large stock and
work room which also is equipped with a
refrigerator. This gives ample space for
handling the holiday rushes. The shop
looks very well with the candy and lunch
rooms which make the place look rather
festive, providing that touch of life that
is usually missing in a large shop of this
kind. The trade wishes Fred Young and
Mr. Hawkins the best of success in their
new enterprise.

The meeting of the Florists Club was,
under the head of "new business" given
up considerably to the coming Rose Festi-
val. It is the intention of the Club to
have the City or Rose Festival board pro-
vide suitable quarters and the members of
the Society put on a real show. It is in-
tended to stage an exhibit of both cut-
flowers and plants in a different order
than that followed in the Festivals that
have been so successful for the past five
years. There is a feeling among some
of the members that the Society does not
get the credit it deserves in the many
floral exhibits it has helped make a suc-
cess.

The Market

There was ii marked increase in
supply the paat week; trade wuh slow all
uiuiind. Sweet PeaB arrived in increased
.supply and prices dropped to 30c. to
Jjl.SO per 100. Carnations were much
more plentit'ul and priees fell to $1.50 to
$4 per 100, and fancy stock, $« to $8.
The weather, being fair and eool, prom-
ises an adequate supply of flowers. Lilies,
however, it is thought, will be scarce for
Easter. Plants arc being sold at low
figures by the department and ten cent
stores. White Carnations for dyeing pur-
poses for the 17th of March will boost
the price a little, although they have been
plentiful all week. Roses, also have been
in full supply and quotations are lower in
general, varying from $4 per 100 up.
Greens are plentiful and are selling wefi.
Funeral work has been getting a steady
run.

News Notes

F. H. Weber's store room has a
very artistic appearance. Sales were re-
ported good in plants and cut flowers.

The "Say it with Flowers" Bowling
League is getting excited. The Roses
are now leading the Carnations, but
Oscar Ruff says it is only a slrnnp and
they will show the Roses, Sweet Peas and
Gladioli how to bowl to the lead.

Geo. H. Angermueller has had a busy
week, both in the cut flower line and in
supplies. Many Easter orders are
booked.

W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. has
painted its store and everything is in
readiness for a big Easter business.

St. Louis Florist Club

The St. Louis Florist Club held its
regular monthly meeting over the store
room of the Wm. C. Smith Wholesale
Floral Co., Thursday afternoon. Mar. 10.
Fifty members, including all officers and
two ladies, Mrs. O'Neil and Mrs.
Peltcher were present with Presi-
dent Rowe in the chair. After the
reading of the minutes, Jules Bourdet,
chairman of the Publicity Committee, was
called upon and stated that all arrange-
ments had been made for local advertising
for Easter. A whole page ad would ap-
pear in the Post Dispatch; fourteen ads
were obtained from fourteen leading flo-
rists for advertising space on the page, at
a cost of $35 for each.

Application for membership was re-
ceived from W. Amling of Pana, 111.; A.
Jfielson of Pana, 111., was elected a mem-
ber. George Pring of the Missouri Botani-
cal Gardens spoke to the members con-
ceriiing the St. Louis Garden Club and its
Spring flower show to be held in May.

H. G. Berning reported on the sale of
the cut flowers at the last meeting, held
in February, and sent in a cheque for
$36.94 to the Publicity Fund. L. P.
Jensen and George Pring entertained the
members with lantern slides, illustrating
the work of a landscape gardener. The
club voted to purchase the lantern and
slides for its own use; hitherto they had
to borrow a machine.

After the question bos was answered
as to the supply of Lilies for Easter, by
Jules Bourdet, the meeting adjourned.

H. E. Humistouj vice-president and
sales manager of the Proto Feed & Guano
Co., Chicago, was present.

The Market

Mar. 14. — ^Normal conditions pre-
vailed in this market during the week
ending March 12, Receipts of stock in the
early portion of the week were some-
what reduced because of a fall in tem-
perature and cloudy weather. However,
a day or two of sunshine following re-
stored the supply. As there were no
special occasions requiring the increased
use of flowers, buying was without sen-
sation.

Indications point to an average supply
of local stock for Easter. Of course there
will be, as usual, a dearth of Sweet Peas
and the other popular small flowers for
corsage work. Plant growers report their
stock pretty well booked up. Because of
the absence of Azaleas and Spirffias such
stock as Hydrangeas, Hybrid and Ram-
bler Roses, Lilies, Cyclamens, Prim-
roses and bulbous stock should bring good
prices this Easter.

Business for the month thus far is of
reasonably good volume, below that of the
corresponding period of last year, but
comparing favorably with the first half

commensurate with their preparations.

Flower Show Meeting

Chairman George Asmus of the
National Flower Show Committee and J.
Fred Ammann of the American Flower
Growers Ass'n stopped off Mar. 13 en
route to the New York flower show to at-
tend a meeting of the local committees
having in hand the work of staging the big
national event here in the new auditorium
in March 1922. The local committeemen
were out in force and Chairman Asmus
detailed to each unit its specific duties.
Now that the committees are formally ac-
cepted, the preliminary Avork will be begun
in earnest.

Mr. Ammann, who had with him some
lantern slides of the advertising done by
the Allied Ass'n of Chicago the past few
months, favored the meeting by showing
them upon the screen, relating the while
the splendid results obtained from the
use of each advertisement. As is his
wont, the speaker waxed eloquent upon
the possibilities indicated by proven re-
sults of cooperative publicity and urged
the local trade to get busy.

Immediately following this instrucutive
and interesting meeting, the guests, ac-
companied by Herman Elnoble, boarded
the six o'clock train for New York.

Ne^vs Items

G. G. Stehu opened a new and nicely
appointed shop in the new market build-
ing at 65th st. and Detroit ave. on Mar.
13. Many floral tokens bearing the good
wishes of fellow tradesmen were received
and goodly numbers of the flower loving
public visited the new store. Mr. Stehn
will retain his old store on West 14th
St. and will operate his new place of
business as Stehn's Flower Shop, with
Mrs. Stehn in charge.

F. C. W. Brown and R. F. Emsley of
the J. M. Gasser Co. and Carl Hagen-
berger of West Mentor, O., departed for
New York Mar. 13 to attend the flower
show.

F. J. Ritzenthaler of Knoble Bros.
Co., who has been in poor health for
.some time, is reported as gradually im-
proving.

Letters from J. W. Wilson of the Wil-
son Florist Co., Hayden Square, state
that he and his family are enjoying to
the utmost their sojourn in California.

Effective Retail Methods

{^Continued from page 679)
time, when the flower business must be reincarnated as
to priee and also as to personnel of the purchaser. It
will also give incentive in an advertising way and, let us
all hope, add to the national publicity campaign which
runs a sharp race with the F. T. D. for attracting dol-
lars into the coffers of the flower industry.

Percentages of Operating Cost

The most accurate percentage obtainable as to the
cost of selHng flowers would leave a varying lot of
figures on the hands of the aspirant selling them but
a fair distribution as gained from innumerable conver-
sations comparisons, and experience, would be as fol-
lows: Material, 50 per cent; delivery, 7 per cent; adver-
tising, 4 per cent; rental, 4 per cent; light, heat, boxes,
telegrams, telephone, moss, wirework, accessories, 6 per
cent; wages, IS per cent; loss in flowers, 3 per cent;
miscellaneous. 3 per cent; leaving a much varying mar-
gin of profit of 5 per cent.

A retailer in one of our big cities depends upon send-
ing out, 35,000 attractive folders monthly, reasoning that
he reaches the best people at short intervals, so the
advice is plain : Advertise, Mr. Retailer, advertise.

Novelties

One of the particular needs in stimulating interest
and resultant sales is that of novelties. It takes thought
and care to produce something worthy and new, but as
we are appealing to the sense of the beautiful in the ply-
ing of our wares, it is highly essential that a prosperous
flower shop be made a composite of original and clever
combinations. The supply houses with their \yealth of
baskets, chiffons, vases and pins do much in aiding novel
flower arrangements. These form an essential link be-
tween flower producer and consumer. Mrs. Aaron Ward,
Ophelia and Killamey Brilliant Roses, also the orchid
type of Sweet Peas are among the various latter day
creations of the growers, but it will take many ideas in
presenting them to bring forth a proper buying response
from the public.

Salesmanship

The production of flowers has reached a high state
of efficiency. It has enabled the grower to offer ex-
quisite flowers in quantity and quality, so the problem is
no longer one of production. It is one of merchandizing
the article. The eyes of the whole body of florists are

searching for those who may dispose of quantities of
them, not only at a holiday period, when they are scarce
and self-selling to a dgree; they look for storemen who
have the capacity, the acutenessto place them before the
people in such a way of irresistibility that enormous
quantities may be disposed of at a definite period and at
the same stroke, making countless thousands love and
appreciate flowers, thus furthering not only their own
business and that of the wholesaler, but that of the
producer who employs from ten to four hundred men.

The intensive method of merchandizing flowers en-
acted in some of the larger cities of the country (like a
blower in the fire-box), is productive of quick results
if properly handled, but like all intensive methods must
be understood and put on a basis where there will be
no flareback.

It is possible, through the right kind of advertising
and salesmanship, to sell thousands of one kind of flower
at a remarkably low price by watching the markets close-
ly. This enables the grower and commission house to
rid themselves of a great weight at an opportune time
and the retailer to gain favor by offering a choice article
at a most reasonable figure. A well-known florist dur-
ing the last holiday period, disposed only of staples,
such as Violets, Lily of the Valley, orchids, a few kinds
of Roses, and one particular kind of made-up basket.
These he advertised profusely, and at a price remunera-
tive, but still below the usual market price He obtained
a low quotation by buying large quantities, and reported
a most satisfactory result of his venture.

The Cost and Profit

One of the most difficult features in the retail man-
agement is that of cost system. The perishable char-
acter of the commodity handled makes this a trouble-
some feature, but an essential one, nevertheless. We
have many proprietors of the retail shops throughout
the country who, in their artistic temperament, forget
that it is more important to keep up a certain standard
of profit than to receive the thanks of a satisfied patron.
A certain large proportion of retailers are also pro-
ducers, and it is with them that the knowledge of cost
is most essential, but is in a majority of instances sadly
neglected.

Specialization in the retailing of flowers akin to other
lines of business is being practised more each year. It
is, in fact, necessitated by the broad lines assumed in the
stocks carried. Unless there be unusual advantages,
it is much safer and entails less work, to operate a

flower shop noted for quality in a few kinds of work.
This enables the proprietor to keep a much closer cost
system, and to obtain the reductions coincident with
large purchases and outputs. The dealer who handles
all lines of the trade successfully, is the exception rather
than the rule.

The store dealer should figure at least 150 per cent
above cost in disposing of flowers. The grower should
also charge from 40 per cent to 75 per cent as his
margin. Rarely is it found, however, that the owner
of a range of houses charges 40 per cent to 75 per cent
gross profit for production, and then again 100 per cent
gross profit at retail. In many instances he charges less
than 100 per cent retail profit, and no growing profit at
the greenhouses. Why? Because he doesn't calculate
properly, and flowers seem to "just grow somehow."

Attention to Details

Has it occurred how well the large and permanently
successful firms look after details? Are they large be-
cause they deal only in great things, or have such firms
gained large results and had important business in-
trusted to them simply because prepared for the main
goals through their mastery of and close attendance to
smaller ones?

How faithfully an employee looks after the large
issues, but how everlastingly it falls to the watchful
manager to see that the key to the machine is not want-
ing. How pleasantly easy it is to put ten dollars' worth
of flowers in an eight dollar arrangement, to deliver
quickly when well prepared to do so at rush times, or
to have a fine trade after years of careful attention to
the lesser, but highly important tasks.

Stability of the Business

There is only a temporary reconditioning in the flower
business. He who is greatest of us all instilled the love
of Nature and the beautiful into man and has particu-
larly enhanced this love when surrounded by much that
is artificial and not resting to the eye or to the soul.
Our flower business did not suffer during the war.
Quite the contrary, it went apace. Even so that some
of our largest bankers maintained that they are won-
derfully surprised at the stability of an admittedly
perishable business.

Let us only apply some of the thoughts as outlined
above and use the ingenuitj' of the most favored nation
of the world, enacting thereby a larger volume of busi- ,
ness upon conditions of equality and beauty.

Overcomes High Cost of
Transportation

How a wideawake twentieth century flo-
rist overcomes the present high cost _ of
packing and transportation, and avoids
loss by rough handling in transit by rail,
was demonstrated on March 3 by Carl
Grobba of Toronto, the largest grower of
flowering and decorative plants in the
Dominion, who loaded his five-ton motor
van (which is heated from the exhaust),
with Easter Lily plants for the West
Floral Co. of London, Ont., a distance nt
140 miles; and delivered them, in their
original pots, in perfect condition, not
even one pot being broken.

Great credit is due the chauffeur, Mr.
Beckwith, for the skillful way in which
he handled his truck, as the roads in some
places were very bad, owing to the open
Winter and the construction of the new
highway; also the day turning out stormy.
He covered the distance from T ronto to
London in ten hours.

E. B. Hamilton, manager of the West
Floral Co., is quite proud of his firm
being the first in Canada to receive such a.
delivery in Midwinter. Mr. Grobba is
certainly worthy of the congratulations he
is receiving for being so enterprising.
(Carl, we admire your nerve!)

Wallinoford. Conn. — Irvin Mitchell
has purchased the sole interest of the
floral business on Academy st., formerly
under the proprietorship of himself and

New York City

The Maxhet

Mar. 15. — The arrivals of cut flow-
ers have increased considerably since last
week. The demand in the closing days of
last week and on Monday of this week was
a trifle heavier, but today, Tuesday,
though sales were fairly heavy for an
hour or two, they became very sluggish
before noon. As regards prices, there is
no marked change from those of last week.
One of the most disappointing features of
the market at present is the failure of
stock of any kind to approach anything
like a daily cleanup.

Am. Beauty Roses are in a little heavier
supply and as there is no corresponding
increase in the demand, special grade
blooms are selling today at 50c. to $1
each, and other grades at corresponding
prices. Arrivals of other Koses are
quite large and the demand is not over
active. Top grade blooms bring 6c. to 25c.
each, but Hadley of this grade is realizing

60c., Key 75c., Crusader 35c. and Premier
40c.

The supply of Carnations is large,
more than enough by far to satisfy pres-
ent requirements. Select grade blooms
are selling at ?4 to $6 per 100. Some ex-
tra choice (especially the whites) bring
$8 a 100, but buyers generally pass them
by when this price is demanded. Laddie,
which is in a class by itself, is selling at
?15; the lower grades are bringing S3 to
$4 per 100.

Cattleyas are in medium large supply
and meeting with a moderate demand at
25c. to 75c. each, sales at $1 being in small
numbers and occurring only for extra choice
blooms. The supply of Gardenias has
become quite heavy and as the demand
is sluggish the price has fallen to 50c. to
$4 per doz. Lily of the Valley is in large
supply and moving slowly at $2 to $5 per
100, with occasional sales at $6. The
rather large supply of Longiflorum Lilies
is meeting a limited demand at from $10
to $20 per 100.

Present arrivals of bulbous stock include
Callas, which are moving slowly at $1.50
to $3 per doz.; Paperwhite Narcissus, a

limited supply, at 35c. to 60c. per bunch;
Daffodils at 35c. to 50c per bunch except
the Giant varieties which are with diffi-
culty realizing 75c. to $1.; and Tulips in
large supply, some of excellent and some
of very poor quality, moving at prices
all the way from 15c. to 75c. per bunch,
excepting the Darwins which are realizing
U to $1.25.

The supply of miscellaneous flowers,
which is large, includes Antirrhinum in
great abimdance, moving out slowly at
50c. to $2; Bouvardia, a small supply at
20c. to 35c.; Calendula, a medium supply,
at 25c. to 50e.; Lilac, a small supply at
$1.50 to $2.50; Acacia at $2; Mignonette
at 50c. to $1; Myosotis, in great quantity,
moving very sluggishly at 10c. to 25c.;
Stocks at 35c.to $1.50, all per bunch; Dais-
ies $1 to $4; Pansies, $1 to $3; and Sweet
Peas, 50c. to $3. Violets, double, bring
50c. to 60c.; Violets, single (Governor
Herrick )sell for 40c. to 50c, or (Cali-
fornia) 75c. to $1. All foregoing prices
are per 100.

In greens, Smilax is in short supply
and meets with a medium large demand
which has caused the price to advance
to $4 per doz. strings flat. Other greens

are in fair supply and are moving moder-
ately well at quoted prices.

The Big Show

I The great International Flower

Show being held this week at the Grand

Central Palace, as a matter of course, is the

) event of all-absorbing interest to florists

and those engaged in associated lines of

! business. Visiting members of the craft

from all parts of the country, North,

South, East and West, are seen not only

at the show, but also calling on their

friends in the several branches of the

flower, seed and allied businesses. The

• annual banquet of the Florists Club, held

' this week at the Biltmore, has been an

' additional factor in bringing visitors to

the city. The great flower show which at

. this writing is well under way, is pro-

[ gressing under the most favorable auspices

I and weather conditions.

Around and About Town

I George Stumpp, Sr., the retail flo-

■ rist, sailed for Europe on the S. S. Potter- ,

dam on Mar. 1, and expects to be abroad

W. A. Bridgman and Rudolph, Goldstein
of J. H. Small & Sona were m Washing-
ton, D. C, during the week of the presi-
dential inauguration, assisting the Wash-
ington store of J. H. Small & Sons in
executing its floral orders and decora-
tions.

Charles H. Totty and Mrs. Totty went
to Canandiagua, N. Y., last week to at-
tend the funeral services of Mrs. Totty's
mother.

Anthony and Mrs. Ruzicka and son from
Madison, N. J., were in town on Monday
of this week, visiting the Eighteenth st.
Flower Market, where Mr. Ruzicka ships
the flowers from his large Rose houses to
the B. Jacobs Cut Flower Co., Inc.

We noted this week at Noe & Sampson's
the wholesale florists, beautiful Delphi-
niiim blooms in both light and dark blue
shades, the first of the season. We judge,
from seeing them, that there will be a
moderate supply of this finest of all blue
flowers in the market, perhaps in time for
Easter.

We saw this week at I. Goldstein's,
among his large supply of bulbous stock,
Formosum Lilies, Darwin Tulips and Giant
Daffodils, of notably fine quality.

Postmaster Patten notifies business men
that no one is authorized to solicit con-
tributions for a memorial building, etc.,
for post office employees; anyone doing
so in the name of the New York post
office clerks and carriers is acting with-
out permission of the postal authorities.

Talk about advertising not paying!
Even little out of town papers have noted
the advertising of the Allied Florists'
Trade Ass'n of New York, and are draw-
ing the attention of their readers to the
better opportunities of purchasing flowers
at reduced prices.

Among the callers in the wholesale cut
flower market this week were E. C.
Brucker of the Wm. F Kasting Co.., Buf-
falo, N. Y.; George Asmus, Chicago, 111.,
and W. D. Howard, Carnation specialist or
Milford, Mass.

The Market

March 15. — The weather has been
entirely Spring-like for the past week
and has helped in the production of stock
to an extent that at present the supply
exceeds the demand. There is an abun-
dance of everything. It would be Impos-
sible to name any item of stock that is
not in large supply. Buyers have mat-
ters their own way and dealers are glad
to keep stock moving at most reasonable
prices. There are not so many Lilies
which is taken as an indication that
growers are holding their crops back for
next week.

American Beauty Roses are to be had
in good form, and they clean up daily.
This results from the fact that they are
not available in anything like the propor-
tion of the other varieties. Premier, Rus-

sell and Coliimbia are the popular varie-
ties today. Milady is holding its place
as a red, but Ophelia is losing in popular
esteem. It is the general impression that
it will not be planted on as large a scale
this season as it has been. Some growers
believe it will in a short time be entirely
superceded by Madame Butterfly.

There is a marked improvement in the
supply of Carnations, and while there is
some fancy stock offered, there is much
that is of but mediocre quality. This
keeps the average price low. The warm
weather also has a tendency to keep
flowers soft, which detracts from their
shipping qualities.

The supply of bulbous stock is ex-
ceedingly large, all the leading varieties
of Tulips being offered in both Darwins
and mid-season varieties. All the leading
varieties of Narcissus are Offered as well
as a large supply of Jonquils that come
in daily from Mississippi and othei
Southern States. Freesias in both white
and colored varieties are in large supply.
There is enough Cattleyas and "Valley,
and Sweet Peas for corsage work and
A'iolets are offered in large numbers, all
of the best quality seen this season. There
is not as much miscellaneous stock as was
seen a few weeks ago. Myosotis, Calen-
dulas, and Pansies lead in the supply of
"other than staple" items of stock.

The Easter Supply

There is much speculation as.to the
Easter supply. If the present bright,
warm weather continues, many crops
timed for Easter will come in too early.
This weather has upset all calculations
and those of Rose and Carnation growers
especially. The Lily and bulb growers
can always devise means whereby to push
or retard their stock as occasion may
demand and while much of this stock will
need holding back, everyone has confidence
that the growers will master the situation
and be on hand with a good supply. Some
Hose growers now have full crops and re-
port that they will be partially off for
Easter. The same applies to Carnation
growers. From this it will be seen that
there will be no oversupply in these all
important lines.

Prices will surely be lower than a year
ago. There appears to be no justification
for anything else since advance orders are
now being booked at lesser figures. In
Roses the Easter price lists, now in the
mails, are from §5 to §10 per 100 lower
than those of last year. This applies only
to medium and special stock. Short stock,
for which there is always a demand ahead
of the supply since Chicago growers have
turned to quality instead of quantity, will
nearly approximate the prices of a year
ago.

The supply of Lilies will not be as large
as it was last Easter; still advance orders
are being booked daily at §25 per 100
buds and blooms. At this price a few of
the leading growers of pot Lilies report
that they are sold out. The supply cut
will be proportionately larger.

While there will be a fair supply of
blooming potted plants, it will show a
wonderful curtailment in variety com-
pared -ndth the Easter offerings of several
years ago before Uncle Sam raised hii;
hand against importations of foreign sorts
that played such an important part in
all displays for this occasion. The prin-
cipal offerings in plants will be Rambler
Roses, Cinerarias, Cyclamen, Primulas and
Lilies. There will of course be much bulb-
ous stock in pots and pans, porch and
window boxes and many other receptacles.
Dutch Hyacinths, Narcissi and Tulips are
grown more this season than ever to make
up for the shortage in other plants and
these will be a feature of the coming
Easter. Cut flower men are hoping the
shortage in plants will turn a large por-
tion of the trade to cut flowers.
_ A. T. Pyfer, of A. T. Pyfer & Co., be-
lieves there is a great Easter trade in
sight for all connected with the Chicago
wholesale cut flower market. He says
there will be enough stock.

The Wellworth Farm Greenhouses of
Downers Grove are sending some fine pot
grown Rambler Roses into the Flower
Growers Association.

M. Mierisch, nurseryman of Glenview,
111., was in the city Monday. He reports
much activity in his line and that he will
be exceedingly busy just as soon as the
groimd is sufficiently dry for planting.

The Commercial Flower Growers of
Chicago will hold their regular monthly
meeting at the Randolph Hotel, Thiisday
evening, March 17.

Bassett & Washburn have been for-
tunate in saving their plant stock since
the partial demoltion of a portion of their
greenhouses by the recent hailstorm. The
warm weather which followed prevented
a greater loss of stock. Gus Swanson,
River Forest, The Forest Park Floral Co.,
Luke Collins, Parkside Greenhouses, were
all sufferers from the hail to a greater
less extent.

Erne & Co. are supplying their trade
with a fine line of Roses, Carnations and
Sweet Peas. Service to its customers is
the first consideration of this house.

The E. C. Amling Co. is preparing for
a big Easter trade. Manager Michelsen
is of the opinion that there will be an
abundance of stock for all. The company
M'ill be long on Darwin Tulips, fancy
Roses, rainbow Freesias, Lilies and Lad-
die Carnations,

Harry Heinl, Toledo, O., was here a
few days; he visited several of the plant
growers around the city being especially
interested in the Easter Lily crops.

P. L. McKee, president of the Ameri-
can Greenhouse Mfg. Co., has left for
Santa Ana, Cal., where his company has
a contract for the erection of a range of
greenhouses for the Amling Bros, of Des

"JAY EM" Says:

Boston Outdone

Boston claims this record:

Prea. Rowland of the Society of American

Florists,
Pres. Howard of the American Carnation Society.
Pres. Craig of the National Gardeners' Associa-
tion.
Pres. Farquhar of the New England Nursery-
men's Association.
Pres. Goddard of the New England Growers'

Association.
Out this way trifles like these fall so thick and
fast they do not in the least disturb the equanimity
of Chicagoans. We have more presidents here
than any other city in the entire country. There
are in Chicago two men holding five presidencies in
important floricultural associations.
Here is Chicago's record:
Joseph Kohout, President of the Commercial

Flower Growers' Association.
Joseph Kohotrt, President of the Chicago Flo-
rists' Club.
Joseph Kohout, President of the Illinois State

Florists' Association.
George Asmus, President of the Allied Florists'

Association of Illinois.
George Asmus, President of the Retail Florists'

Association of Chicago.
August Poehlmann, President of the Wholesale

Cut Flower Growers' Association.
W. J. Keimel, President of the National Flower

Growers' Association.
Peter Pearson, President of the Chicago Bulb

Forcers' Association.
When it comes to ex-presidents we believe with
due diligence we could produce at least 37 different
varieties. Any fine morning as soon as the Morn-
ing Glories begin to twine you can see them in
large numbers around the corner of Wabash ave,
and Randolph st., going to the office of The Flo-
rists' Exchange, or elsewhere about the market
their business might necessitate.

the publicity work of the Allied Florists
Ass'n and to provide records by which
the work can be done successfully at the
close of each day's market business.

The Chicago Bulb Forcers Ass'n held
another meeting March 7 at the Randolph
Hotel. The members are still determined
not to buy any bulbs for the coming
season's business until the Dutch grow-
ers agree to stand the loss on blind bulbs.
It is figured out that the cost of freight
and duty plus the cost of planting total
more than the value of the blind bulbs. If
there was no other loss than the mere
failure of the bulbs to bloom it would be
so small a matter that it could easily be
adjusted.

Manager Klingsporn of the Chicago
Flower Growers Association reports a
good advance demand for Lilies for
Easter shipping. A new refrigerator is
being installed in the shipping basement
which is one of the most complete in the
city. Manager Klingsporn attended the
annual meeting of the Illinois State Flo-
rists Ass'n at Urbana last week and
C. L. Scherer has been calling on the trade
in Ohio and West Virginia.

The Market

Mar. 15. — It is only in exceptional
years like this one that in this section of
the country shrubs are bursting into leaf
and Crocus, Tulips and other bulbs are
showing buds early in March. The
weather has been remarkably mild and
sunny. So there is nothing strange in
having the market flooded with all kinds
of flowers. With the exception of Car-
nations prices have dropped in every line
more or less. The situation has started
to develop into a buyers' market, where
bargains are the rule rather than the ex-
ception. At the same time it must be said
that business is of good volume. The
out of town shipping trade is using a lot
of flowers and the retailers express them-
selves as pretty much satisfied with the
amount of business doing.

Am. Beauty are not in the market.
Other Roses are coming in increasing
quantities, so that within the last few
days clearings are becoming more difficult.
No fault can be found with the quality.
Long stemmed stock is hard to find.
Twenty-one inch, and from this down to
6in., are the grades considered in the
quotations. Prices on Roses started to
sag a few days ago and they are bound
to go still lower unless the increasing
supply receives a check.

Carnations have had a good week. The
demand has kept up with the supply so
that prices have stiffened perceptibly; 6c.
to 8c. is the ruling price for ordinary good
stock. The better grades of such varie-
ties is Ward, Laddie, Rosalia, etc., bring
8c. to 10c. A good part of the Carnation
crop from around Boston has been find-
ing its way to New York ever since last
Fall and, for this reason, the market here
has not experienced such voilent fluctua-
tions as has been the case in other years.
It is almost safe to predict a stiff price
for Carnations at Easter time.

Sweet Peas are becoming unmanageable
and are the sore spot of the market. The
stock is, on the whole, of good quality;
fine fancy sorts and extra length of stem
in many cases, but when it comes to price
it is often a case of "take what little
you can get." Two cents represents prob-
ably the very top price, while Ic. is the
common figure. Plenty of flowers are sold
for much less.

White Lilies are in good supply; the
demand is not large nor is the price, al-
though this latter is a shade better than
a week ago. Good to very good Lilies
bring 20c., sometimes more. Callas are
arriving more freely and have not changed
in price.

Freesias and Paperwhites do not seem
to attract the buyers. It is almost im-
possible to give them away, or at least it
looks that way at times.

Of Narcissus there is an excellent dis-
play of fine varieties and the fiowers are
well grown, but the supply is almost too
great for a really steady, good demand.
Prices on bulbous stock have taken a drop
and it is almost impossible to state what
is the price. Between 3c. and 6c. will
buy any grade or variety. Tulips bring
up to 6c.; Darwins 8c. to 10c.

Violets are plentiful and cheap, selling
freely at 50c. to $1. Pansies, too, are do-
ing their best to become overplentiful
and, in consequence, are selling for from
50c. to $1.50 per 100, with a good de-
mand.

Mignonette and Snapdragons have great-
ly improved in quality within the last few
weeks. Extra fine Wallflowers are offered.
Among the other minor flowers there is
the usual supply of Daisies, yellow and
white and English. Calendulas, Forgetme-
nots. Primroses, Agatheas, etc. Acacias
are becoming much less noticeable.

Cattleya trianse and Schroederee, also
some Dendroblums apd Odontoglossum, con-
stitute the offerings in orchids. The de-
mand for all of these is normal and the
supply about equal to it, so that prices
keep steady.

Lily of the Valley is still plentiful and
sells for little money. Hardy and green- '.
house greens are in ample supply at usual
figures. The wholesale and shipping I
houses are preparing for a record Easter I
trade. j

Tbe Outlook for Easter

Prospects for Easter do not differ much
this year from last. The usual amount of !
Easter stock is in view, in the usual i
varieties and sizes.

Lilies are a rather uncertain proposi- I
tion with a few growers. It will be a I
question of a day or two of getting some
lots in on time. The greater part of the '
Lilies, however, should be just about
right, even if a few have to be forced a
little hard. The plants are healthy as a
rule. The size in general is also satisfac-
tory, although a good many plants might
be a little taller. The average of blooms
per plant will probably run between three
and four well developed buds for the
greater lot of small sized bulbs, of which
class the major part of the plantings con-
sists, as the larger sizer bulbs were not
obtainable. As it is, the growers expect
to sell their flowers for 20c. to 2oc.
Easter being so early this year, it will
depend a great deal on the state of tho
weather for the last two weeks of growth
whether some of the lots will make it or
whether they will be a day or two behind
selling time.

Of Roses there may be somewhat lesa
on hand than in former years. Baby
Ramblers are well represented and well
grown. Of trained Tausendschoen Roses,
Dorothy Perkins, etc., there seems to be
only a limited quantity. Hybrid per-
petuals and Hybrid Teas are in fair num-
bers in a few establishments.

Hydrangeas will be plentiful and of
good quality. Four-fi'ths of the supply
consists of French Hydrangeas and these
are mostly represented by small sizes — 5-
to 6in. potSj with from three to seven
flower heads. The Hydrangeas should be
just right on time, and they promise to
make very satisfactory plants for the
buyer.

Genistas are in good supply in popular
sizes and well grown and flowered. Then
there will be quite a few nicely flowered
Cinerarias, the greater part being of the
stellata type, of good size.

Tulips, Narcissi and Hyacinths are in
good supply and of good quality. An
enormous amount of bulbous stock will,
of course, be disposed of as cut flowers.

Well grown white Daisies and pink and
white obconica and malacoides Primulas
will probably meet all demands.

The supply of cut flowers may not be
more than just enough from present indi-
cations. Roses promise to hold out bettei"
than Carnations, which latter have gone
beyond the height of the main crop, and
if the weather should be unfavorable for
a few days before Easter, they are sure
to be scarce. There will be no want of
cut Lilies and bulbous stock should turn
up plentiful enough to give all a show.

Trade Notes

Seymour Grose, buyer for Carbone,
was married two weeks ago. His co-
workers in the store presented him vnVa
a purse of gold on the occasion.

Leonard Cousins of Concord Junction is
again supplying the market with the
greater part of its Shamrocks. He has them
in several sizes, from the little thumbpots
up to i- and 5-in. pans; the demand for
the plants is better than usual this sea-
son.

E. A. Newman, the well kno^vn Violet
grower of Woburn, is at the Boston Re-
lief hospital with his wrist broken m two
places. He was cranking his car in front
of the hospital, w-hen the accident hap-
pened.

The finest "King Alfred" Narcissi are
brought to the flower exchange market by
Chester Payne Randolph, at present Ed.
J. Rogean is the salesman.

A very large number of florists _ and
gardeners are going to the International
Flower Show in New York. Among the
visitors will be found Henry Penn,
Charles Boyle, Patrick Welch, Thomas
Roland, Wm. Sim, Frank Edgar, S. J.
Goddard, W. R. Nicholson, Wm. C.
Stickel, C. B. Johnson, Andrew Christen-
sen and Wm. H. Golby.

Robert Greenlaw, representing S. S.
Pennock of Philadelphia, has spent a few
days in Boston and vicinity.

Earl Richwagen, second son of Paul
Richwagen, the well known grower of
Needham, has been taken to the Glover
Hospital in Needham, where he under-
went an operation for appendicitis, March
12. From latest reports the young man
is doing finely.

Wm. H. Elliott, the veteran Rose
grower of Brighton, who spent about 10
months last year in rambling all over the
wildest territory of the West and North-
west, is very much in demand as a lecturer
on the subject of "The High Sierras."
Mr. Elliott displays a large number of
interesting stereopticon slides during his
lecture. All of these pictures have been
made on the spot by himself. On Friday,
March 18 Mr. Elliott is to speak at the
Brightelmstone Clubhouse in Allston.

During the week of the National Rose
Show in Horticultural Hall, April 6 to
10, there will be four lectures under the
auspices of the National Rose Society.
The first one is dated for Thursday, April
7. The following well known gentlemen
are sure to find large audiences; J. H.
McFarland, Leonard Barron, Professor
Rogers of New Jersey and Wm. N. Craig.

The news of the recovery from illness
of Wm. N. Craig, the beloved and es-
teemed secretary of the Boston F. and G.
Club, and president of the National Ass'n
of GardenerSj is sure to please all of his
many friends. Mr. Craig suffered pain-
fully for over three weeks and, being an
active and always extremely busy man,
he felt his confinement most acutely.

Plant breeding and the practical appli-
cations of the laws of heredity to the
improvement of plants, was the subject
of the last lecture by Professor Osterhout
at Horticultural Hall on Saturday, March
12. The lecture hall was filled to the
farthest corner with an interested au-
dience. Mr. Osterhout's lectures, of which
this one was the last of a series of five,
have become quite a feature and were
looked forward to by scores of ladies and
gentlemen who take a more than super-
ficial interest in horticultural matters.
The last mentioned fact was plainly illus-
trated at the close of each lecture when
the professor was called on to answer any
number of questions, which duty Mr.
Osterhout always performed most graci-
ously. And it may be stated that most of
the questions were put by ladies and they
were not always so very easy to answer.

The Market

March 14. — The market for the past
week has been dull and uninteresting with
a large supply and a small demand. The
unseasonably warm weather is rushing
everything in ahead of time, and the
growers are hard put trying to time
their stock right. There is a splendid
supply of Koses coming into this market
in practically all available varieties.
American Beauties are on the increase.
Carnations are dull with a heavy supply.
There are plenty of Callas and a good
supply of Easter Lilies. There is a flood
of Sweet Peas that are being disposed of
at an extremely low margin. Tulips and

This Week's Money Making Wrinkles

FRITZ BAHR'S WRINKLES

Sow seed of annuals now, either in
hotbeds or inside; you want a lot your-
self for planting out and, if you have
well established plants on hand during
May and June, a lot of them will be
sold for your customers' garden. The
most popular lots we have are Asters,
Snapdragons, Freesias, Cosmos, Mari-
golds, Scabiosa, Salpiglossis, Verbena,
Larkspur, Stocks, Straw flower and
double Corn flower. Sow more Salvias,
Petunias and make cuttings of bedding
stock. With most florists, after Easter,
bedding stock is more important than
anything else. Have you all the Dah-
lias you need? No better time than

the present to place your order. Stock
up with enough Dracaenas and Vincas,
it is easier to obtain such plants now
than when you are ready to use them.
You can't very well overstock with
small Bostons; great quantities of them
are used during the bedding season.

What is needed today is, make every
inch of space on the benches bring
returns. Grow good stock and a lot of
it, and then advertise if you have any
surplus. More pushing than ever will
be required to do business, so when
your stock is ready, advertise in The
Exchange; charge, pack and ship right
and you will have no kick coming from
any quarter.

BAXTER'S NURSERY WRINKLES

The provident nurseryman will have
ordered his "shorts" from fellow nurs-
erymen to keep his assortment of stock
complete. But, in these busy days of
shipping, some lines are bound to be-
come exhausted, despite advance prepa-
rations to avoid same. Much exchange

purchasing is therefore now in order.
Are you getting your share of this
patronage? Do you anticipate pur-
chasing some "shorts?" In either case,
selling or buying; the use of these
columns will prove a profitable medium
to sell what you have and find what
you need.

DAHLIA SEED
This seed is raised from the most up-to-date
ihlias in existence. In no place in the world
ve Dahlias been brought up to such perfection
they have been around San Francisco. This
isture contains all colors and types of Peony,
ictus and Decorative varieties. The seed we
nt out in preWous years was highly praised by
! who raised DahUas from it, but this seed is far
periorto what we have sent out in previous years
le seedlings will commence to flower two months
;er sowing and almost a month earlier than planta
ised from bulbs.

VEGETABLE PLANTS AND SEEDS

THE DIENER TOMATO
Increase your Tomato yield one hundred per cent
by raising the new Diener Tomato; 30-40 tons of
ripe fruit to the acre.

This Tomato was raised last year all over the
United States and Canada with the greatest satis-
faction.

As smooth as an Apple and of a magnificent
dark red color. Single 'Pomatoes weigh up to 3 lbs.
each. The flesh is more solid than that of any other
Tomato. The fruit contains very little seed and is
solidly filled out. This Tomato is free of the acid
taste and for dehydrating, catsup and canning it
is the best Tomato in existence to-day.

The Diener Tomato is blight-resisting as well as
drought-resisting. It will not crack from the rain
and will not rot while lying on the ground in wet
weather. This Tomato will grow in almost any
kind of soil and it commences to ripen the first part
of August.

It is the greatest novelty in the Tomato line, and
it will soon crowd out the present varieties from the
market by its far superior qualities.

Price of the Diener Tomato Seed: Sample pkg.
25e.; one quarter of an acre, pkg. 50c.. one acre,
pkg. $1.50.

Notes Round About

John Stanley of Do^vningtown suf-
fered heaN"}' damage to one of his houses
by a windstorm that swent through
DowningtOK-n and adjacent sections the
early part of the month.

At Godfrey Aschmann's, where they
specialize in Easter plants, the houses
are filled with a complete line of Easter
specialties. The Lilies and Hydrangeas
show good culture. Several houses are
filled with Cinerarias well headed and
colored. The pot Eoses include American
Beauty, Eambler and Tausendschon. Small
bulbous stock, such as Hyacinths, Tulips
and Daffodils is grown in quantity.
Among the other miscellaneous plants at
this establishment are Primula obconica,
Geni.5tas and Begonias. The foliage
plants are represented by ferns, palms,
Dracenffis and Ficus elastica.

The prospects for Easter are that the
supply of plants and cut flowers about
Philadelphia will be larger and better
than it has been for the past few years.
The plant men all report excellent busi-
nes.s, and if their predictions hold good
it will be a fine Easter.

Alfred M. Campbell has at the Straf-
ford Flower Farm a superb lot of Lilies
and Hydrangeas. The Lilies — about 25,-
000 pots — could not be unproved on, and
the same may be said of the Hydrangeas.
They are all timed to the minute.

I Can Save Ton Money

In these days of high prices, economy is the watch-
word— economy of time, money and effort.

The V-Bar greenhouse, with its scientific system of
ventilation and its perfect heating plant, together
with the very low cost of maintenance, saves the flo-
rist many a dollar that would otherwise be wasted.

But you don't have to take our word for it. Satisfy
yourself by asking any florist who has one.

We shall be glad to talk it over with you and to send
you advance sheets of our catalogue.

Side Sash Hinged to Angle Eave

^/4-in. Galvanized Down Spout Drain

A 50-ft. King house with a larger detail of our angle eave and post connec-
tion— proof enough why our houses cast so much less shade than others.

3x2x'/4-in. angle. Galvanized after all fitting and drilling. Good, big, galvan-
ized drip pans, l'/4-in. wide, l'/4-in. deep. Drained every 25 feet with a ^/4-in. gal-
vanized pipe. Malleable casting eave connections used in pairs, specially designed
to hold rafter, post and eave together in one rigid joint.

Eave overhangs so that side sash are hinged directly to it with galvanized
hinges. A good strong, stiff job. Simple and practical.

When you think of Good Greenhouses, think of "KING."

Don't Let This Past Winter
Lull You To Sleep

Ever seen a real Southern darkey sit down on the sunny
side of a building the first warm day in the Spring? Well
sir, most darkeys are just plain children. They never seem
to realize that what has been, will be again. The fact that
that it's warm now is enough for them. They just plain forget
all about how cold they have been.

Every time we have a warmish Winter, that's free from
heavy snows and blows, we are flooded with inquiries for
our cheap constructions. There are always a lot of wise men
who every so often declare that: "We don't have the Win-
ters we used to. You ought to see the Winter we had when
I was a boy. "

Well, if Winter before last, and the Winter before that
weren't full grown Winters, then reckon our wise friends
must have spent their boyhood with the Eskimos.

When it comes to building a cheap house, what, let me
ask, does a man save by saving a few hundred dollars only
to lose them and a lot more when it goes down with the first
big snow? You may lull yourself to sleep by saying that
really big snowstorms happen only once in a lifetime. Well
isn't once enough, when in a night the savings of a lifetime
can be lost ?

It's to meet just those once-in-a-life-time storms that we
construct our houses. They cost more than some houses.
Cost more, because worth more. It's one of the things that
you pay less for, by paying more. Don't let this warm
Winter lull you to sleep. When ready to talk over building
a greenhouse, built to stand, say when and where and we'll
be there.

ige. The gables of

The Was, That Now Is

Remember how a couple of weeks or so ago we had a talk
together and showed you some pictures of the Noe and
Ruzicka range at Madison, N. J. ?

"Beings as how" you had to go before we were half
through, kind of thought you might like to hear a little more
about it. The really big point about this layout is that it
was originally laid out in a way that would put a man down
and out, to run these days of high coal costs.

Narrow houses — none too tight — each heated by a single
boiler, is no equipment to meet present day competition with.
To rip out the boilers was one thing. To replace the houses
quite another. They could replace gradually. But they
couldn't rip gradually. So they started first by replacing the
houses with our full iron framers.

Three were erected. They now have two iron frame
houses 467 ft. X 28 ft. 10 in., and a new house 243 ft. x 50 ft.
With these houses they needed additional boilers; so while
about it, they ripped out every one of the 14 or so small
boilers and put in three big Hitchings huskies, each one
125 horse power.

They didn't exactly need all three, but when you have
more boiler power than you need, you will never be in need.
Which is a mighty comfortable feeling to have, nights when
the mercury is bumping away at the bottom of the tube.

When more houses are replaced, there is ample room for
more boilers. In fact, right now Noe and Ruzicka know
exactly what their next move is to be. Yes, and the next,
and the next after that.

In short, they have carefully worked out a plan, so planned
that everything done from now on, fits right into the big
general plan.

They early found out that the best way to get ahead, was
to plan ahead.

If your range is heated by a number of small boilers,
reckon we can show you some figure facts that will make you
sit up and take notice. First you will sit up and rub your
eyes at what it costs. Then you will sil bacl^ and be contented
when you see the mDney it will save you in labor and fuel
saved.

Now is the time to work out a plan for such a remodelling
of your heating. Plan it now. Do it next Summer.

This fine, big radial bricic chimney tells you of the complete completeness cf This trio of modern coal save-s. looks like business, doesn't it5 What it looks

the power plant. like, is exactly what it /s like.

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to our customers that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
in. high and was covered the entire season with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2i4 in. across, while the individual flower would be % of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

Final Competitions

IL'K REPORT of last week dealt with the various
plant exliibits and cut flower competitions held

I on the first, second and third days. These, al-

loiigh numerous and the most important, were not the
.tire show. With farseeing wisdom, the committee
as all along realized that cut flowers, especially in a
ower show, are naturally fugacious, their beauty, to
more or less extent, being past after the first daj'.
Iii^ being so, a series of cut flower competitions
iTiiiighout the week are essential in a show of this
ind, in order that visitors attending during the latter
,ay.s may have at least fair value for the money they
xpcnd.

True, the late comers do not fare as well as those
ho visit such a show during the first two days, for
;w flowering plants can withstand the artificial con-
itions which they are subjected to in a building Uke
le Grand Central Palace, even with the splendid venti-
Ltion given its floors.

.\ stroll around the show on Saturday gave an oppor-
mity to study the effect within one week of transition
■cm greenhouse quarters to the Grand Central Palace
II flowering plants. The gorgeous Hippeastrums were
■ rgeous no longer ; Cytissuses, including the beautiful
ronze and j'ellow .'Kndreana, had cast most of their
)wers, as had the Wistarias, Laburnums and Schizan-
mses, while the Cinerarias, Cyclamen, Bougainvilleas,
horizemas and Lilacs w-ere all more or less in need
f renovation.

The orchids, perhaps, despite their apparent fragility,
on out to a greater degree than any plants. The Cym-
.idiums, Odontiodas and Cypripediums were clearly
ime for another week and not a few of the Cattleyas

The manner in which the vase of Cymbidium Pau-
ehii shown by the Muller-Sealy Co., after the flowers
id spent some ten days on the ocean, was an object
sson for many. One of the spikes carried twenty
iwers, a tribute to the good culture given by Sander &
>n at their Belgian nurseries. It may be mentioned
■re that the plant of this variety, shown by James B.
uke which gained a cultural certificate, bore a spike
31 flowers.

Thursday's Competitions

Dinner Table Decorations

'The private growers came out strongly in the table
iss. Miscellaneous flowers were used, and T. Aitchin-
Tn again proved himself a master hand, as on the pre-
jous day, when he used yellow variegated Carnations.
in this occasion, he used a combination of Genista,
jnantophyllum, Streptosolen, Calendula and Maiden-
Jiir fern, the prevailing tone being orange and yellow.
jW. R. Cross (A. Sailor, gdr.), Morristown, N. J.,
las a good second with St. Brigid Anemones; a de-
Ifhtful table. Third place was gained by Mrs. Ridley
i'atts with a mixture of Nemesias, blue Pansies, Aca-
1 and Trachymene caerulea (Blue Lace Flower). An-
her table of blush white and pale blue Lupins was
io decidedly effective although somewhat squat in
sign.

Display Cut Roses

The Rose display (commercial) brought out two coni-
titors, F. R. Fierson gaining the lead with a splendid
.splay of blooms set up in huge Japanese vases. Colum-
^, Francis Scott Key, Premier, Ophelia, Double White
iUarney, and Sylvia, were specially prominent. Cibo-
im Maindenhair and Nephrolepis ferns served to give
ect.

A. N. Pierson, Inc., used tall pillar vases, for setting
'• the excellent blooms of Ophelia, Mrs. Aaron Ward,
ilumbia, Double White Killarney, Evelyn, Hadley, etc.
utnerous ferns and Asparagus plumosus was used for
ditional greenery.

Friday's Contests |

Sweet Pea Tables

Considerable activity prevailed on this day for, apart
from the tables, the Sweet Pea, Rose, and Carnation
growers were all on the warpath.

The table decorations were confined to Sweet Peas,
and here T. Aitchinson had to back down into third
place. Mrs. Ridley Watts's wonderful flowers of
Zvolanek's Rose made the rest look weak. All the com-
petitors, save one, used pink, the exception being deep
orange, a tint a trifle too garish, unless carefully han-
dled.

Sweet Pea Vases

The vase competitions brought out a good sprinkling
of private growers and in the big display, Mrs. H. McK.
Twombly gained the lead through having several varie-
ties, including pink, blue, lavender, orange, and white.
Mrs. M. Taylor, Mt. Kisco, N. Y., had finer flowers,
but only white and pink were staged. The si.x vase
class brought out some grand flowers, and Mrs. W. R.
Cross had really wonderful examples of Zvolanek's
Rose, Snowstorm, Yarrawa, Mrs. Zvolanek, Moonstone,
and Zvolanek's Orange. The same exhibitor scored
with the mixed vase of 100 sprays.

The commercial growers were not numerous and
John Cook, Tarrytown, N. Y., had pretty much of a
walk over. He staged some excellent flowers of Pink and
White, Lavender King, and Pink Beauty, although the
latter was not true to color or type.

H. Mamitsch, Rockville Center, N. Y., showed a good
vase of his seedling Jennie Mamitsch; although not in
such fine form as he had showed it earlier in the season.

He also staged several sports from this variety and a
number of first year seedlings,

Display of Sweet Peas

W. Atlee Burpee & Co. alone showed in the big class
(100 sq. ft., arranged for effect) and in their well
lighted position the flowers looked even finer than those
in their trade exhibit on the main floor. Fireflame,
cerise; White Star; Flamingo, salmon orange; Mrs.
Warren G. Harding, deep cream pink bicolor; Silver
Blue; Exquisite, cream picotee; Improved Snowstorm,
white; Mrs. Geo. Kerr, salmon; Burpee's Orange; Apri-
cot, rich salmon orange; Early Aurora, pink flake; True
Blue ; Cheerful, deep rosy salmon, were among the
varieties shown. Five oi these gained certificates
namely, Fireflame, Silver Blue, White Star, Cheerful
and Burpee's Orange.

Carnation Exhibits

The Carnation display (commercial) brought out two
concerns and Henry Hession, Brooklyn, gained the
verdict with a central pillar and four corner vases, all
the pale pink Welcome, a variety not unlike Enchantress,
and one central vase of a crimson named Harvard. The
flowers were good but, to this writer's taste, the lack of
variety was a drawback.

The Springfield Floral Co. showed good flowers and
much more variety and, while a trifle lacking in green-
ery, the exhibit appeared more attractive.

The Rose Competitions

The Rose competitions were not so strongly contested
as on Tuesday, but some grand vases of Colijmbia, Cru-
sader, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Sunburst, Premier and Had-
ley were staged. Traendly & Siebrecht showed Pilgrim
in the special class. This is a fine Rose.

The Orchid Tables

Competition was slack in this class on Saturday, only
two staging, although six entries were booked. The
falling out, without warning, in the table classes during

At the Eighth International (New York) Flower Show

The Bobbink & Atkins (Rutherford, N. J.) Garden. A delightful display of Azaleas, arranged in garden form. The background
of Cedars and Rhododendrons served as an excellent foil for the brilliant coloring in the foreground.

tb wci'k was one of the l)ad features of the show and
thpromotors of future cxhihitions will need to come
d* n heavily on such delinquents. In some cases, it is
f( unatc when entries fail to materialize but, with table
d( .rations where special tables have to be set up and
fviislu'd at considerable cost, the result is both aimoy-
iiiand disastrous, as the space cannot be filled up.

rs. i'aync Whitney easily gained the verdict with
a steful arrangement of Oncidiums, Cymbidiums and
C Icyas. the prevailing tint being yellow.

Mitchell, N. Y., spent much time, and presumably
n( a little nione\-, in fitting up his table with mirror,
citric liglits aiui fountain, to say nothing of a wdiole
h( of varieties of orchids. The judges, however, ap-
pi-ntly thought the same as this writer; that the dis-
pl was more in the nature of Broadway at night than
arirtistic table decoration. The fancy bread rolls, and
thname cards on each plate alinost appeared ludicrous.
a.x Scliling considerately filled one of the vacant
ta-'S with a most oriental looking display in the form
Olm umbrella arrangement of almost every flower in
crtion. while Mrs. C. H. Stout. Short Hills, N. J.,
fill another with a pleasing arrangement of Sweet
P.i, for which she was highly commended.

Disjointed Comments on the Show

By WOOLGATHERER

Six days shalt thou labor aiid on the seventh do all
the odd jobs. (Old saying.) Six days did I perambu-
late the Grand Central Palace, making notes and other-
wise passing away the time. The seventh, I gave it a
miss, content to disentangle from the aforesaid notes a
few items that would serve to make up a column or
two to appease a hungi-y linotype machine.

The promoters of the show and all those who had
seen previous exhibitions in New York, agree that the
Eighth International was the best effort of the series.
I am not denying it and, I am ready to believe that
finer specimens of Cyclamen, Cinerarias, Schizanthuses,
Primula malacoides, etc., were never shown anywhere.

liut I am fain to confess that I have seen finer Azaleas
and Rhododendrons. That's one against the F. H. B.

Supt. John Canning talks like a braw Scot, but he
knows how to grow plants and stage them. I guess he
didn't study horticulture entirely at Ardsley, N. Y.

J. Stuart, who tends the gardens of Mrs. F. A. Cons-
table, is a crackcrjack at Cyclamen growing. Seemed
to me I recognized those giant whites and some of the
other colors too, although they were not nam«d, and,
if I sensed them right, the seed from which they were
grown didn't come from Germany.

If the Hippcastrums looked a trifle sick at the end
of the week, the Imantophyllums showed that the tribe
of Amaryllis does not consist wholly of early closers.
The plants shown by Mrs. F. A. Constable were great
all the time.

Tlic standard Wistaria shown by Adolph Lewisohn
was O. K. When well grown, the 'Wistaria wants a bit
of beating for an Easter plant, but it can't be done in a
4in. pot.

The bird bath exhibit were among the smartest of
new ideas in the show. True, I heard of quite a lot of
things that were the greatest attraction in the show, but
to me the bird baths were among the leading features.
The Short Hills Club exhibit, although gaining second
place in the competition, was awarded the Max Schling
gold medal. I liked this exhibit, and the gold medal
seemed to suggest that while the silver cup went to
Somerset Hills Club it was not exactly superior enough
to merit the special award also.

The "over the garden wall" exhibit by the City Gar-
dens Club was decidedly good. To give added effect,
all the sweepers appeared to dump their waste in the
neglected yard, so that by the end of the week the place
looked like some of the side streets of New York after
the recent snowfall, when many people were dumping
their refuse in the gutters.

In the class for one specimen plant not specified, I
noted Rincus spurnum jesminanda, a pretty white
Jasminum-like vine shown b}^ Miss A. De Lamar, Glen
Cove, N. Y. It was the first specimen of its kind I had
seen, and its origin I know nothing of.

I give credit to the big Mignonette growers, but I
prefer smaller spikes. With each individual pip spaced
out so that the stem is visible, the spikes reminded me
of overdone Sweet Peas with their flowers spreadeagled
at two or more inches apart.

Lily bulbs may have been scarce, but there was no evi-
dence of the fact in the class for twelve pot Lilies. I
guess not a few of the competitors wished they hadn't
entered. The cut Lilies, in class 134 were "hot stuff";
I counted one spike with eleven flowers on it.

The Darwin Tulips were, for the most part, pretty
good, but I didn't see any to compare with open ground
grown stock. To get Darwins under glass in as fine
trim as outdoor grown stock takes a bit of doing.

If the F. H. B. does prevent importation of palms,
there are still a few good ones around. Some of the

■*3 Superb Late Branching Aster

Dreer's Superb Late Branching Asters

The finest Asters for late August and September blooming.

The plants form strong, branching bushes, 2 to 2H feet high, bearing on long, strong stems their
haodsome Chrysanthemum-like flowers, which, under ordinary cultivation, averages 5 inches across.
The form of the flowers, together with the length of the stems, places them at the head of Asters for
cutting. They come into bloom from two to three weeks after the average type, usually being at their
best during September. We offer eight beautiful and distinct colors, viz.:

Jt has the same strong, sturdy habit of growth, bears freely almost globular flowers rarely under 4
inches across and frequently over 5 inches. The color is rich shell-pink, similar in shade but more
decided than the late-branching. The center petals are prettily incurved, while the wide outer petals
reflex, making a most artistic and finely finished flower, and stands cut longer than any other. 50c.

Notes from Abroad

The situation in the wholesale seed trade
has not greatly changed during the past
week. All the houaea are still pounding
away to make deliveries as promptly as
can be done under existing circumstances.
The retail trade is said to be opening
rather quietly, but the usual Spring rush
will uo doubt soon be strongly felt.

Contracts this season are in some cases
easier, and in others more difficult to
place. In Great Britain the farmers are
somewhat more moderate in their demands
and will generally come to terms at fixed
rates. On the Continent the growers" fig-
ures have an upward tendency, and while
preferring in some districts to operate on
open figures, in others they are beginning
to solicit definite prices in advance.

One or two enquiries for seeds have
come through from Riga and Finland, but
the prospects of resuming trade with
Russia as at present constituted seem very
remote. A recent commercial emissary
gives a most gloomy picture of the con-
ditions reigning there, which he describes
as utterly chaotic. Seeds might be sent
there and the people would be glad to get
them, but he does not see how payment
for them could be made, and it would
not even be possible to send goods in re-
turn. There is a little Corn (grains) in
the villages, but no means of effective
transport; and the peasants will not pro-
duce more than they absolutely need as
the surplus is only confiscated by corrupt
government officials, who offer them value-
less paper money in exchange. Of this
money there is an unlimited quantity in
circulation, but as it takes about a
bushel of it to buy a penny roll or a
doughnut it is really not worth stealing.
How is the once mighty rouble fallen!

As far as the present year has ad-
vanced, there has been in Western Europe
a remarkable similarity between the
weather conditions of 1920 and 1921. An
exceptionally mild Winter has developed
into an early Spring, with Almond trees
and Forsythias already in full flower and
Primroses as abundant as they generally
are in midApril. Whether we shall this
year again have the luck to avoid heavy,
late frosts remains to be seen. In the
more southerly districts Beets, Carrots,
Endives etc., are being actively planted
out in a sporting spirit of hope that dis-
appointments will not occur- The soil
generally is on the dry side, owing to the
absence of the usual February rains, but
no doubt this will soon be made up for,
probably about the time of the Easter
holidays. Rain has fallen heavily in
North Africa, greatly to the satisfaction
of the local agriculturists, so perhaps the
clouds may shortly veer northwards.

A visit to the growers of some of our
early greenhouse flowers reveals a fairly
satisfactory promise of seed of Primula
sinensis, all the varieties of which seem
healthy and strong, with the exception,
perhaps of one or two of the lighter
shades.

The Exchange columns have recently
reported prospects this year of a boom in
the nursery and seed lines in Canada.
This is conflrmed by J. W. Beaumont of
Stony Creek, Ont., and L. J. Hamilton of
Duncan, B. C., who are making a tour on
this side on behalf of their respective
firms and who have called on the London
trade with a view to securing good strains
of certain leading articles.

In the passing of John Seden, V. M. H,,
well known to the older generation of hor-
ticulturists, disappears one of the pioneers
of modern hybridizing. He was for the
greater part of his life connected with
the famous establishment of Veitch in
Chelsea, London. It was he who raised
the first tuberous-rooted Begonia and he
did brilliant work in hybridizing Caladi-

New York Seed Trade

These unprecedented warm March days
are filling the heads of all men — and
women, too, for that matter — who have a
garden, with thoughts of seed buying and
seed planting. The season at this writing
is a month ahead of that of 1920. With
no snow and no frost in the ground and
sunny skies and balmy air, the thermome-
ter on March 21 indicating a temperature
of SOdeg., what is there that should keep
agriculturists and horticulturists from
plowing and planting? Nothing, what-
ever. Some pessimists, to be sure, are al-
ways looking for bad weather and pro-
phe.sying evil in all phases of life, say
that we will get our part of foul weather
before the Spring is over. We do not
believe that the farmers and gardeners
will pay much attention to them.

When calling this week at practically
all the seed stores in the city we found
the seedsmen smiling and with a satisfied
look on their faces and very busy, for
counter trade is booming and shipments
— large, medium and small — are going out
rapidly, as transportation facilities are
good this season, by freight, express, or
mail. It looks now as if from this time
on for a couple of months at least, the
demand for seeds, fertilizers and garden
and farm requisites and sundries, would

I be rather large; let us hope so for this
is what the seed stores need. A feature
which_ we note in most all seed stores at
this time is the offerings and apparently
large sales of dormant Rose bushes.

1 S. S. Skidelsky & Co.'s new Preesia,
General Pershing, it is reported, received
many favorable comments at the recent
flower show and has created much interest
wherever it has been seen. The color of
this new Freesia is pink with just a touch
of yellow at the base of the flower.

The changes and improvements in the
new store of the MaeiN^^ Horticultural
Co. at 196 Greenwich St., about a half
block away from its present quarters, ia
fast approaching completion and about
May 1 it will move therein. Auction sales
of Easter plants every day at noon, from
Tuesday to Friday inclusive, have been
going on this week at its present Vesey st.
store.

Vaughan*s Seed Store has already opened
up its plant department for the season
and is offering this week small nursery
stock, such as Grape vines. Raspberry and
Rose bushes, also tubers, bulbs and roots,
such as Dahlias, Gladioli, Lilies and As-
paragus. This store reports that last
week was the busiest of the season so
far, and that this week sales are daily
increasing while the outlook for large
sales appears to be excellent.

P. Rynveld & Sons, 61 Vesey st., who
are now offering a comprehensive list of
bulbs, both Holland and domestic, report
sales as entirely satisfactory and an
outlook for a cleanup of all bulba in
which they deal before the season closes.

Chicago Seed Trade

Vaughan's Seed Store reports its mail
order business for March well ahead of

The counter trade of the past week was
particularly active owing to favorable

Chicago Seed Trade

I Continued from page 725)
weather conditions. In the wholesale
department there are liberal fill-in or-
ders for bulbs and the flower seed. There
are already in stock many new flower seeds
as well as all standard varieties for the
most critical trade. Aster seed in the
many varieties offered by this house is in
strong demand. Pansies, both separate col-
ors and mixtures, are in large supply.

The funeral of the late TV. W. Barnard
was held Wednesday afternoon from the
Bethany Union Church. The Kev. Clyde
McGee. who officiated, delivered an elo-
quent and appropriate eulogj'. The seed
trade of the city was fully represented,
and there were many handsome floral
offerings from friends and business asso-
ciates.

The American Bulb Co. reports an exceed-
ingly large demand for Cannas. The de-
mand has been so heavj- that many of
the leading varieties are getting scarce.
President >Iiner will not return from his
trip to the Pacific Coast until after
Easter.

Orders from the retail and wholesale
catalogs are coming in so fast to A. Hen-
der.^on & Co. that nighb work was resorted
to the past week to keep up with the
rush.

How long will Sweet Pea seed retain its
vitality? ■ If the following news item be
true it must be an indefinite and indeter-
minable period:

Cincinnati. March 19. — ^A unique honor, that of
havinp a flower named after her. has been accorded
iSlrs. Samuel H. Taft, according to an announce-
ment made by Miss !Mar\' Eva Keys, honorary
secretary- of the Egj-ptian Exploration Society.
Slrs. Taft has been nurturing with painetaking
care a special flower in the garden of her Clifton
home here, which is to be knov^Ti hereafter as the
"Mabel Taft Egyptian Pea."

The blossoms were grown by Mrs. Taft from a
single seed, which had been secured from plants
whose seeds were discovered together with dried
specimens of the flowers themselves in coffins con-
taining the munimified remains of Egyptians.

Catalogs Received

A Contract for Dutch Bulb Trade

We have received from the Chicago
Bulb Forcers Association copies of an
order form or memorandum of agreement
which it has adopted and plans to use
in its dealings with Holland bulb grow-
ers or exporters. We believe the trade
will watch with interest for the results of
this step. Undoubtedly it will prove a
real triumph for the Middle Western
forcers and a very powerful protection of
their interests if they can get foreign ex-
porters to accept and sign this type of
contract. The form reads as follows:

lORDER FOR BULBS
This memorandum of agreement, made in duplicate
this * * * day of * * *, 192 . , , wjtnesseth
that * * * representing * * * of * * *,
Holland, seller, hereby agrees to sell, and * * *
Qf * * * hereby agrees to purchase the bulbs
described below, subject to the following cond itions :

1. These stipulations, terms and conditions shall
be and at once become binding upon the parties
hereto, irrespective of any and all terms and con-
ditions submitted by the seller, which are in con-
flict herewith.

2. All goods are purchased f.o-b. shipboard,
Rotterdam or Amaterdam, Holland, plus actual
cost of containers and marine insurance on ship-
ment.

3. All bulbs are purchased for the purpose of
forcing in flower earlier than at their natural time
for blooming, when not forced. It is therefore
understood and agreed between the parties hereto
that all bulbs are sold for the flower they produce,
and further, that the purchaser will not be re-
quired to pay for any Tuhps or Narcissus bulbs
that fail to produce standard flowers under normal
forcing conditions.

4. The seller hereby agrees that all goods shipped
ixi excess of this order, or goods of the same variety,
but smaller in size than ordered, are not necessarily
a part hereof, but may be rejected by the recipient
at his option- In event such goods are tentatively
accepted and are planted, the question of fixing
the price on such goods shall be left entirely to
recipient and such goods shall not be subject to list
price as quoted.

5. Purchaser must notify shipper in writing with-
in reasonable time of any known defects in goods
received.

6. .\11 bolbs used to fill this order are guaranteed
to be free from disease and decay.

parties or their representatives.

Bessie Boston Dahlia Farm, San Mate9.
Calif ^While not ven." rich in illustrations, this
catalog is particularly attractive on account of the
beautifullv colored illustrations of new Dahlias on
the cover' i number of new varieties raised by
this concern are featured on the first page, among
them Shudow's Lavender; Rookwood. a new pink:
Richmond, crimson and La Mascotte. violet and
white A selected list, all trom the most notable
varieties of the present day. is also included. N9t

Boston The various t\-pes are each given their
own headings, including Decorative, Cactus.
Peonv, Collarette, Show and Pompon.

Edward T. Bromfield Seed Co., Garden City,
X Y — \ useful and well illustrated seed catalog,
featuring colored covers that are unusually well
executed. A full list of the leading vaneties of
vegetables and flowers is given, whilst specially
selected Usts of the same are given prominence.
DahUas and Gladioli are also listed. Lseful cul-
tural hints are embodied, while a novel idea is put
forward in the form of children's garden collection
of seeds,

John Scheepers, Inc., ^'^^ _>o^^ ,Ci*>':—
Special three-page folder concerned wholly with
the new Giant Everbearing Red Raspberry, La
France. Copies of several letters received in con-
nection with this fine variety, and duphcates of
several certificates awarded it are reproduced,
while a full description of this useful fruit is given.
It would appear that this novelty is making great
headway as a variety for the garden.

New England Nurseries Co., Bedford. Mass.—
\ neat and 5er%-iceable pocket list of hardy trees
shrubs and -^-ines. The various species are listed
under their respective headings of evergreens and
deciduous trees, ornamental shrubs, etc. Roses
are a specialty with this firm and a list of some of
the most reUable hardy varieties is given. Vines
and herbaceous perennials, hardy Lilies and Ins,
together with garden fruits, are like^nise given lull
attention. „ - , .

John H. Neeley, Paulding, O.— A small folder
listing Peonies. Gladioli and Ins. The names only-
are quoted. A catch phrase used on the front of
this folder reads: "Flowers Worth While Are
Flowers That Smile."

Perry's Hardy Plant Farm, Enfield. Middx.,
England. — While the plants in this list are for the
most part barred out, it3 annual appearance is
welcome, as it describes all that is new and good
in hardy plants. Alpine flowers are a specialty,
while Michaelmas Daisies. Delphiniums, Ins and
Phlos are all well known specialties of this concern.
This catalog is more notable for the wonderful va-
riety of stock offered rather than for illustrations
and elaborate letter press.

Palisades Nurseries, Inc., Sparkill, N. Y. —
An attractive list of hardy perenmals and one that
should prove sen.-iceable to everj-one m whose
hands it gets. The descriptive matter is concise
and the illustrations are good. The variety offered
is very extensive; ever>-thing worthwhile m the
hardy plant line is to be found here. Not a few of
the plants listed are either native species or im-
proved forms of such. A particularly interesting
feature is the explanation of each botamcal name.
D. HUl Nursery Co., Inc., Dundee, HI-—
Special trade offer of evergreen stock and deciduous
trees and shrubs for lining out purposes. The sizes
in all cases are given.

The White Grub Pest

Cornell University issues a warning
against planting Potatoes and Com on
newly turned turf land this season. The
white grub — assumedly not the June bug
grub — is said to be specially prevalent
every three years, and as it has been
quiet during the past two years, ia is
due to cause trouble this season. There
is no practical method of treating farm or
other lands affected with white grubs it is
said; an admission that does not reflect
specially well on the entomologists.

White grubs, whatever their identity,
Vire worms, millipedes, etc, are always
- with us and, if the new Magotite or any
one of the powder soil fumigants used in
other countries are a success why do the
powers tl^t be ignore them?

The Legislative Program

Antidumping legislation, and the
amendment of the tariff law by the addi-
tion of a provision that ad valorem duties
shall be based upon the value in American
currency at the port of entry of invoice
values in foreign money, will be the first
things to be taken up by Congress when
the e^ra session convenes on April 11.

A legislative program for the coming
session has been discussed not only at
the Capitol, but also at the White House.
The question of priority has not yet been
settled, but it is believed that if the legis-
lation above mentioned can be enacted
without delay, the tariff question can be
set aside for a time while Congress
wrestles with the revenue law. Should
it be found necessary, however, to enact
an emergency tariff law, similar to the
bill passed at the last session and vetoed
by President Wilson, that will be taken
up first, with revenues nest, and the per-
manent tariff bill following.

Not less than five billion dollars wiU
be required for the conduct of the Gov-
ernment during the coming fiscal year.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has told
the Congressional Ways and Means Com-
mittees. No extensive economies have
yet been put into effect, nor can they be
until the contemplated reorganization of
the Government service is accomplished
and some of the overlap and duplication
eliminated.

With such a budget in mind, even with
the increased customs receipt^ provided
by the proposed new tariff, it will be
necessary for the Grovemment to raise
four billion dollars through internal taxa-
tion. This will not permit of the elimina-
tion of any of the present taxes, unless
they are replaced by others. The excess
profits tax, however, will undoubtedly be
repealed, especially as there will be little
or nothing received from it this year, but
in its stead Congress will provide some
sort of a tax on the undistributed profits
of corporations. E, A. D.

in some greenhouses there wasn't a full
pane left, and that in some homes as
many as 20 windows were broken. Auto-
mobile windshields were smashed and
street cars damaged. It was rejwrted
that many of the stones were well over
two ounces in weight. The damage was
reported at aroimd §60,000, and the glast
houses had to wire the larger cities foi
supplies. Much Easter flower stock waj
reported damaged.

Louisville didn't feel the Paducal:
storm, which centered over an area of a
comparatively narrow radius. Locallj
stocks are in fine shape, and couldn't b(
better for a fine Easter business.

On March 18, Newport, Ky., reportec
that Mrs. Antoinette Beccard of Soutti

The Market

Mar. 19. — Business continues good
with the Louisville florists, there having
been a steady demand for cut flowers and
very fair plant sales. Bedding stock is
beginning to open up a little, and with the
turn into April there should be a very
fair demand for porch boxes, baskets, etc.,
which have been increasing in popularity
for the past few years.

The new method of listing long_ stocks
with one florist, and having all florists call
on this one man for their short stocks, is
resulting in much time saving for the
florists and a big reduction in interrup-
tions.

The Coal Situation

Considerable discussion is being
heard just now among florists as to
whether or not it is a good time to place
orders or contracts for coal. Investiga-
tion has shown that for contracts on an
annual basis operators are asking about
33 1/3 per cent over present spot prices,
which are around $2.50 to §2.75 a ton for
good mine run at the mine, with screen-
ings around $2 to S2.25 a ton for the
best, and cheap grades averaging around
S1.50. Figuring labor rates, which have
some time to rim under the contracts, and
freight rates, it is believed by well posted
florists who have studied the situation,
that coal will be higher later on instead
of cheaper, and that the florist who can
afford to would do well to stock up right
now on spot coal. In fact, operators are
so close to rock bottom on present prices
that many mines are closed down at the
present time, not being able to compete
on the present price basis. One mining
company went into bankruptcy at Louis-
ville during the week.

Hailstorm Causes Losses

Reports from Paducah, Ky., and
some of the surrounding Western Ken-
tucky towns are to the effect that heavy
hail was encountered there on March 16,
resulting in a loss of glass by every green-
house and gardener's hothouse or cold-
frame in the county. It was reported that

Memphis, Tenn.

Advertising and Easter

'T am looking for good Easter busi
ness," says W. H. Englehart, presiden
and general manager of the Idlewil.
Greenhouses here. "Every indicatio:
points that way, and I for one am goin
after business.

"Business will not be as great as i
was last year, which was exceptional, bis
our business so far this year has gone hi
yond the record of 1919, and I have D
doubt but that our 1921 Easter huaines
will go 'way beyond that of two yeai"
ago.

"Another thing; we are not expectiiic
big sales such as we had in 1920, but ai
basing our faith on the smaller unit snXt
and more of them. In other words, we ai
reaching out for a dozen new little en
tomers where we formerly had one larj
one. And with this aggregate trade p
are going ahead to have a greater yei
than any in the past except 1920.

'T^n regard to prices they are mm
lower, many being as much as 25 per ce:
lower than a year ago. This, too, is he!
ing business.

'TV'e switched our plans early last F(
and started strong intensive newspaper a
vertising using the daily neswpapers eve
day and every other resource at our co]
mand to assist in securing new customei
This plan was so successful that I ha
continued it throughout the year with c
cellent results. I also expect to do hea
special Easter advertising to help bo
ness along.

"Our stand of Lilies and bloomi
plants is in good shape for Easter tl
year and we have lots of this stock C(
ditions appear to be opening up a lit
more slowly than we expected, but wi
an improvement in collections we have
a single complaint to make. Our mol
for 1921 is 'Go get 'em.*"

"We expect an excellent Easter bn
ness," says Miss Kate L. Harris of i
Flower Shop. "Inasmuch as we have be
in our new shop only two months and i
doing regular newspaper advertising,
are doing a bigger business than a
other year except 1920.

"Our collections show a great impro
ment as we have put some extra effort
them; possibly this is because of the :
provement in business conditions genera
"We are going to do some additio
newspaper advertising the week bef
Easter as we find it a new customer ■«
ner for us. Business is good and
expect a good Easter business."

"Still another expression of opinion
cured locally is as follows; "With •
business running 'way ahead of 1
though slightly behind that of the
ceptional year of 1920, we are watcb
the cost sheet and expect a good Eaf
business. We have about 4000 pots
Easter Lilies ready for the holiday
wonderful stand of about 4000 Hyacin .
and a smaller stand of Hydrangeas ; i
Cinerarias.

"T. am conservative when I ^y t •
business is fair and that collectiona >
dragging, but showing an improvein •
We are living up to our own rendi' I
of good the old motto that runs— :

Selling Garden Furniture
in Seed Stores

By ERNEST A. DENCH

What has garden furniture to do with
the seed business you ask? Simply this
— what people want they buy, what they
become interested in they are likely to
want, and what they see in well arranged
shop windows they are quite likely to
become interested in. AVhy shouldn't
seedsmen take advantage of these facts?
The following brief notes are printed with
the idea of pointing ways in which they
can do so.

Two sidelines that many seed stores do
not push to the extent which they should
are wicker garden and porch furniture
and garden ornaments.

The following window display sugges-
tions from various types of stores may
assist in increasing the sales of these side-
lines.

The Great Outdoors

William Quimby, Rangeley, Me., ar-
ranged rustic furniture to represent a
porch setting against an outdoor back-
ground. A willow tea table was set with
a breakfast ser\'ice and artificial fems and
palms were arranged here and there. A
picture in the foreground bore the cap-
tion:

"Get Acquainted With the Great Out-
doors."

An All Blue Color Scheme

Wolf Bros., Brooklyn, N. Y., arranged
a wicker dining table and six chairs in
the middle of their trim. The furniture
was of white bordered with blue. At each
side a roll of a good grade of white wall-

paper, studded with blue birds was draped
over a display stand and trailed over the
floor toward the window. At the far left
was a white wicker stand, bearing a blue
wicker cage containing a canary.

Down on the Farm

Haverty's Furniture Co., Charleston,
S. C, introduced at the back of its win-
dow a painted drop scene portraying Sum-
mer on the farm, with a flower garden;
a girl and a young man leaning on the gate;
children playing with a dog; and a hay-
making scene in the distance. The floor
of the trim was covered with tissue paper
grass, while a showcard down in front
urged :

"Get Ready For the Good Old Summer
time — Haverty Shows You How."

The window displayed everything for
the hot weather, including porch furni-
ture in wicker and reed grass, grass mats
for the floor, Siminier cushions and lap
cloths, flower stands, hanging refrigerators
and an ice cream freezer.

Home, Sweet Home

The Prentiss Co., Charleston, S. C, ar-
ranged a window to represent a porch,
laid with green matting rugs and con-
taining wicker furniture, complete to the
tea wagon and a little table with Summer
cushions and potted plants. The back of
the trim looked like the back of a porch,
with its house ^vindows open showing
Summer curtains and window boxes full
of flowers. An electric light was fixed to
shine from behind these curtains, while a
card pointed out that —

'Trentiss can make your *Home, sweet
Home' a much sweeter and more attrac-
tive place."

Newlywed Porch Suggestions

Wanamaker, N. Y. City, had two at-
tractive displays of wicker furniture. The

first, as a card suggested, contained
'TPorch Suggestions for the Newlyweds."
The center position was occupied by _ a
bubbling fountain, presided over by Cupid.
In front were such pieces of furniture as
a wicker writing desk, lounge and a table
containing a dish of fruit. The floor was
covered with a clever imitation of brick
red tiles, with green and red rugs laid
here and there. The wicker furniture
was in blue and yellow designs.

The second display offered "Garden Sug-
gestions for the Newly Married." Here,
too, was a brick red tiled floor. A couch
hammock was to be noticed at the rear
center and some natural touches were
added by covering the hammock with a
plaid rug and placing a popular magazine
in the pocket of the hammock. To the
left was a green garden table containing
a tray of cold drinks, while a green
garden chair stood at the right. On the
floor was a green rag rug.

A Pretty Background effect

Abraham & Straus, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
introduced a mouse brown covered back-
ground and constructed narrow paned win-
dows in the middle of the paneling. The
windows were partially covered with case-
ment curtains, while at the upper part
was cretonne of a floral pattern. At the
sides of the windows electric blue satin
curtains were hung. Seen through the
windows were climbing Wistaria vines.
The wicker furniture was of grey and
green, bordered with purple, while the
rag rugs laid on the floor were of purple
and brown. Placed on the wicker table
were some of Dickens' works and a cut
glass set.

Two Examples from England

Waring & Gillows, of London, filled the
entire rear space of their window with
a green canopy, suspended from each side
of which were Chinese paper lanterns, j
Under the canopy at the rear was a j
wicker garden bench and two chairs, both i
being furnished with cretonne covered ;
cusliions. In the middle came a wicker ,
table set for tea, with a wicker rocker
at each side. Leaning against one of the
chairs was the following card: i

"You are in\"ited to visit our premises
opposite to see a unique display of Garden
Furniture and Ornaments."

A glimpse of the unique garden orna-
ments was offered down in the front cen-
ter, where there was laid a peculiarly
shaped stone. The window was floored
vrith. moss to represent grass, while the
sides and rear were enclosed with lattice
work. At the left front a large pot of
trailing Roses was leaned against the lat-
tice work, so as to supply the Summery
atmosphere.

J. Hide & Co., Kingston, Surrey, Eng.,
displayed white wicker benches at the
rear, with wicker chairs at the sides. In
the middle, laid on linoleum, were several
types of garden stone ornaments, while the
floor down in front was covered with
cretonne pillows.

Garden Fete Confusion

Sloane's, N". Y. City, display their
wicker furniture on the third floor. Xo
apologies are offered for the jumbled way
in which the furniture is exhibited; in
fact, visitors were recently warned, via
the newspaper, that the furniture is "as-
sembled in a sort of garden fete confu-
sion."

Couch. Hammock Copy

Bloomingdale's, N. Y. City, had an ad
framed to make couch hammock sales.
Here it is —
"COUCH HAMMOCKS—

Comfort on a Sweet Summer Day will
be attained in one of these Couch Ham-
mocks, where you can sit and swing and
dream to your heart's content. In fact,
practice the outdoor life, whether you're
in the city or country."

Wheeling, W. Va. — Definite plana were
discussed by the members of the Wheeling
Chamber of Commerce last Friday for the
construction of flower beds along the Na-
tional highway for a distance of about
2500ft. from Fourth st., Fulton, to Glen-
wood, between the street car tracks and
the road. A sub-committee was appointed
to raise the necessary finances, providing
that permission be secured from the Pub-
lic Service Co. and the commissioners.

After Easter

Tlu' ilayH won't be lung enough for tlioae
wlio linve to get a lot of bedding stock
read}' by May. With pot plants, tliere ia
always a lot of handling attached to the
growing end of it; far more so than to
plants benched for cut flowers, and while
I don't believe in taking a '2in, or 'iVjin.
fleraniiim by the end of January and shift
into a 4 to remain in that pot until May,
Jit this time of the year and with what it
co8t8 to do tilings today, it can and should
be done. Most of your IV-'m. stock of
bedding phints might as well go right into
a 4 now, or rather next week, and you
will be tlirough with it. Fill the benches
and when you are about through with
moat of the shifting and transplanting, go
over the contents of the houses and find
out exactly where you are at. It is so
easy to overlook things. Make notes and
get busy ordering what you are short of.
riier-* aie bound to be items which can. be
ioasier gotten hold of now than later on.
Vou linve fully six weeks before planting
nut starts; a lot can be accomplished dur-
ing that time, but get at it without delay.

Canterbury Bells

The seed of Canterbury Bells for plants
>'anted for early flowering under glass
should be sown now. Far too few florists
pay enough attention to these Campanulas
;'or forcing; if grown on in pots during
;;he Siunmer, given a rest during Novem-
jjer and up to the middle of January and
'hen placed in a 45deg. house and later on

(■ariied in a Cainalion liouse, they will
Ntart to flower in early April. By rest,
1 don't mean to let them dry up, keep
watered or always have a moist soil
around their roots, but don't try to carry
in a 50deg. house. A coldframe or a
cold house is what they want during mid-
Winter, and later on will only stand for
a Carnation house temperature. Plants
grown in ((in. pots and not planted out
during tlie Summer months, adapt them-
selves so much better for forcing than
such as have been grown in the field dur-
ing Summer and potted up in Fall. Can-
terbury Bells not only make Hue flower-
ing put plant.'!, but excellent cut flowers,
their beautiful shades of light pink, light
blue and white and the long stems covered
with the bell shaped flowers are excellent
for decorating.

Perennials and Biennials in Pots

With most of us the period during
which we can lift a Phlox, Gaillardia,
Foxglove, Coreopsis, Pyrethrum or other
hardy plants during Spring is a very short
one. Just a few warm days in April
makes everything jump and even with the
best care such plants will suffer when they
once have started to make growth and
hot weather follows the transplanting. If
we had all of the orders ready to go out
at a certain time, it wouldn't- be so bad,
but they keep on coming in up to June
and even later, and it is for that reason
every florist handling such stock should in
Spring pot up a good nmnber of the

nuist popular varieties and carry them in
a fiame, without glass protection. There is
hardly a home ground today where there
isn't a perennial or hardy border and
there is always room for a few more Lark-
spurs, Columbines or something else. If
you handle bedding stock you .sliould also
tarry what is wanted in hardy stock. If
you are short on certain items, the pres-
ent is the time to order what you need;
liot up and place in a frame.

Climbing Roses

Like many other climbing plants we
carry for the home grounds of our custom-
ers, so with these Roses. If you have plants
on hand in pots, they can be sold and
planted out almost any time from early
Spring to late Fall. Everybody likes
Roses, even in sections where they need
most careful protection to carry them
through the Winter. A climbing Rose ap-
peals to every lover of flowers and if they
are trained on wires which can easily be
taken do^^^l in late Fall and the canes of
the Roses can be covered with a heavy
layer of soil with a top covering of man-
ure or straw, 20deg. below zero won't hurt
them. It is foolish to try to grow such
Roses when they can't be properly covered
during Winter, and it takes more than
just a little straw or burlap to do it. Pot
Roses, when you get them from the nur-
sery and don't cut the canes back too
severely if they are in good shape. Tie
them up nicely and either carry in a
frame or cool house, the slower they start

the better. Don't overlook to label each
sort properly; if a customer wants a
Dorothy , Perkins and gets a Crimson
Rambler there is usually trouble.

Hardy Climbers

You are bound to have call for hardy
climbers during the Spring and Summer
months and a good way to do is to have
a nice lot potted up in Sin. and 6in. pots.
The Boston Ivy is one of the most de-
sirable and the plants you don't sell, can
be kept over for another year. The same
is true of Honeysuckles, Clematis, Ake-
bias and others; if you have them on
liand you are bound to find sale for them.
Order now from your nurseryman a good
supply, and when they reach you, pot
them up in large enough pots to accommo-
date the roots nicely, and provide a stake
for each. Tie up with raffia and place
either in a cold house or coldframe. You
don't want them to make growth right
away; let them get rooted a little first,
for the slower they are starting into
growth the better. A deep coldframe
where you can remove the sashes later on
in an ideal place for them. They can re-
main there all Summer if necessary; that
is, what isn't sold during Spring. The
retail grower often has call for Boston
Ivies and other climbers in the middle of
the Sununer, and having these plants in
pots, they can be planted out at any time
and go right ahead. Bear in mind that
they should be cut back well when you
plant them out.

I A. L. Miller's New Range

I A. L. Miller, ex-president of the So-
.■iety of American Forists, has just placed
un order with the Lord & Burnham Co.

or six greenhouses, each house to be
;;Oft. 4Jn. wide by 150ft. long. There will

le a 7ft. wide and 130ft. long corridor
,in the West end, connecting with potting

bed. These houses will oe built at Ja-
\ aaica. Long Island, where Mr. Miller al-
, eady has an extensive range of green-

ouses. Each house will be 5ft. Tin. from

he ground to the eave line. The ridges

rill be 12ft. in the clear.

The type of construction of the super-
' tructure will be Lord & Burnham Go's.
tandard steel frame. Heretofore Mr. Mil-
?r has built his greenhouses of pipe frame
: onstruction, but has come to the con-
lusion that the increase in cost of the
teel frame over the pipe frame is so
light that the florist is warranted in tak-
ng the steel rafter construction, which is
ar more durable. The houses will be
■ nrnished with Cypress plant benches sup-
lorted by pipe post legs. They will be
:lazed with double thick glass 16in.x24rin.

I Continuous ventilating sash on each side
I'f the ridges, operated by Lord & Burn-
ham Co*s. standard ventilating machinery
I rill furnish the necessary ventilation.
Concrete walls 4in. thick will be built
round the sides of the houses, extending
bout 2ft. 4in. above grade. This takes the
ilace of the usual double boarding, and
rill last indefinitely. The sides of the
louses above the concrete wall will be
I'onstructed of glass. Self closing slid-
ng doors on ball bearings will be in-
tailed.

The houses will be heated throughout
>y hot water, circulated through 2in.
teel pipes. A new Lord & Burnham Co.
ectional cast iron boiler will be added
0 the already extensive heating plant.
^Lord & Burnham Co. of Trvington, N.
r., have built all of Mr. Miller's previous
;Teenbouses and it is gratifying to
;iote the steady and healthy growth of
iJr. Miller's business. Starting with a
^ew houses, he has gradually added to them,
'nd today he has one of the largest, if not
he largest, range of greenhouses devoted
xclusively to the growing of plants, par-
leularly Easter and Christmas plants.

Constantly increasing numbers of visitors,
both purchasers and members of the trade,
testify as to Mr. Miller's reputation and
fame as a plant grower.

A visit to his establishment is well
worthwhile, especially just before Easter
and Christmas.

That Mr. Miller should place an order
at this time, when so many florists are
hanging back, pessimistic as to the future,
shows that he is still as optimistic as ever
about the future of the plant business.
Mr. Miller states that he has never yet
been able to grow enough plants to fill his
orders, that his business increases faster
than he can build, and thinks that any
florist who does not — or is afraid to go
forward, will surely go backward.

— We understand that L. & B. Co. are
already getting out the material in their
factory. Actual construction will start
right after Memorial Day and the range
will be completed by Oct. 1, ready for
the reception of Christmas plants. Every
improvement known to modern greenhouse
construction is planned to go into these
houses.

Chrysanthemum Midge

Some of our 'Mum stock plants have
midge in the leaves. If we pick off all
infected leaves and spray faithfully, do
you think we -will be safe in propagating
from these plants? Or would you advise
throwing all these away and buying cut-
tings? Some of the varieties do not show
any infection. If we must throw any
away should they go too?— W. S. G., N. C.

— By persistent watching and spraying
it is possible to fight the midge, but as
you want to propagate right away we
would suggest you use Tobacco dust. After
removing all affected leaves, smother the
stock plants with the dust, keeping every
new leaf and shoot constantly covered.
Treat the cuttings in the same way after
they are inserted. We know growers who
have totally eradicated midge through
using Tobacco dust alone. Treat your clean
stock the same; leave no place for the
midge to lay eggs and inside a month you
will be able to write it off. Use a powder
blower for applying the dust.

N. Y. Botanical Garden Journal

The February issue contains several
interesting articles, among them "Old
Trails and New Discoveries," a record
of exploration in Florida. The partici-
pants of the trip had some surprising ex-
periences, not the least of them being the
sight of the Istokpoga prairie fire which
has been burning for years. This article
is to be continued.

Cemetery Planting Possibilities

There is no city in the United States
where so much money is spent for Christ-
mas, Easter and Summer flowering and
decorative plants as Philadelphia. This
is amply demonstrated by a visit to some
of the leading cemeteries. The present
outlook for this business is very encour-
aging, as orders are coming in greatly in
excess of those of former years. This trade
has steadily grown to its present magni-
tude as a result of the business acumen
of the men in charge. G. M. Painter,
superintendent of Westminster Cemetery,
and Wm. Donaghy, superintendent of West
Laurel Hill Cemetery, are certainly ex-
perts in this line, devoting special atten-
tion to the growing of suitable and vigor-
ous plants that would give good results
when put out in exposed situations on the
lots. I have never seen as fine a lot of
plants of all sorts and of Easter Lilies as
at present available. The greenhouse de-
partment of the West Laurel Hill Ceme-
tery is extensive, uptodate, and in the
pink of perfection; the enormous number
of bedding and other plants grown here ia
a revelation and a sight well worth see-
ing. I consider that well kept and pro-
gressive cemeteries that specialize on good
horticultural effects are truly educational,
because they appeal to all of us at some
time or other.

Our neighbor, George Shafter, has the
best collection of Easter and bedding
plants he has ever grown; that George is
progressing and his girth expanding are
sources of rejoicing and merriment re-
spectively, to his many friends.

W. M. 0. Edwards.

Westchester (N. Y.) and Fairfield
(Conn.) Hort. Society

About 80 members of the society were
present when President Jones called the
meeting to order in Hubbard's Hall on
Friday evening, March 11. The gather-
ing was designated as "Secretary's
Night," Mr. Addor giving special prizes
for Roses, Carnations and pot plants, and
also featuring in an interesting address on
"The Responsibilities and Opportunities
of the Gardener."

One of the main points emphasized was
the opportunity of members to help the
small property owner in laying out and
beautifying his grounds. This brought
forth a good deal of discussion both for
and against, there being a wide range of
opinion on the subject.

The chair called on Henry Wild to re-
count a few of his experiences during hia
recent trip to England. He said he was
very agreeably surprised to see how much
conditions had improved since the war.
Although many of the large estates
had been allowed to run wild during
the years of hostility they are now com-
ing back rapidly. The worst obstacle they
are encountering is getting the lawns
and walks back in their former shape.

Mr. Beckett, who also recently returned
from the other side, spoke in much the
same manner as did Mr. Wild, saying that
the nurserymen seemed to be busy and,
although not shipping much to the U.
S., were doing a good business with South
America and the colonies.

A silver entre dish was presented to
Mr. Lenine for the highest nimiber of
points gained during the past year on ex-
hibits of vegetables.

A Dahlia show will be held by this
society in September at New Eochelle.
Judging by the progress already made by
the show committee, it should be an over-
whelming success. A silver cup will be
awarded to the best display covering 50
sq. ft., the contest being open to commer-
cial growers only.

James Stuart captured the secretary's
prizes for both Carnations and Roses. In
the pot plant class Robert Williamson was
honored for a fine specimen Chorizema.
The same exhibitor secured the first pre-
mium in the usual monthly prize list, Mr.
Smith of Portchester coming second.

A Clever Compilation

The weekly Kansas City Star^ which
caters to the large agricultural areaa of
Kansas and Missouri, sends ua a neat,
well printed loose-leaf book containing
maps which, with the adjoining letter
press, provides at a glance a complete cen-
sus of all the milking cows, beef cattle,
aheep, hogs, automobiles and trucks, silos,
horses and mules and farms in the two
States. In all instances, the figures show,
not merely the totals, but the actual
nimiber of trucks, farms, etc., in each city,
town or area.

March 16. — Having been away on rather
an extended vacation, we have been unable
to report lor jNasliville during the Win-
ter. A tour ot inspection provides news
indicating that the season has been one of
the most tsatisiactory the tlorists have had
in this city, llie imusual warm, open,
sunshmy Winter has cut fuel bills in two,
and has given an unusually large produc-
tion of line Mowers. VViiile the demand has
been excellent all of the season, it has
not been as insistent as last year. How-
ever, every Horist in the city reports
that they have kept sold up close on
everything practically all the time. Prices
have been about the same as last season,
and one florist remarked that it was
strange that while almost everything had
fallen in price, that the demand for
flowers had kept up steadily at the old
prices. Last Fail most of the growers re-
modeled their houses, putting them in the
pink of condition, as a means of conserv-
ing fuel. It looked at one time as though
it were going to be impossible to secure
enough coal at any price, but, thanks to
the open Winter no shortage developed.

The most outstanding feature of the
business this year has been the total ab-
sence of novelties. Koaes and Carnations
certainly have reigned supreme on the
Nashville market. The nearest a novelty
I have seen during the season, was some
very fine frinj;ed and frilled Cyclamen.

Valley is becoming fairly plentiful again.
The white Allium is being grown here to
some extent as an adjunct to Valley and
is proving very popular. Of course, it
doesn't, and never can take the place of
Valley; it provides a fair substitute when
Valley is scarce. Columbia, Premier, and
Mme. Butterfiy together with double white
Killarney and Ophelia, are practically the
only Roses grown here at present, al-
though a few Russells still remain. Of
course, a few Baby Kosea are still grown
for corsage work.

Owing to an accident of one of the larg-
est houses, orchids are not at all plentiful
in Nashville this year. The outlook is
for things to be more normal a little later.
Sweet Peas are just beginning to appear
on the market in quantities, and the qual-
ity is especially good.

Peach trees are in full bloom and there
is some concern, especially over the fact
that we had a heavy white frost.

Daffodils are at their best in the open
ground at present and one aeea small boys
hawking them at every corner. We have
never aeen them selling so low in the
twelve years we have watched the mar-
kets. This does not seem to affect the
florists' business, however. Things are in
good condition for the Eaater holidays and
if Christmas can be taken aa a criterion,
the business will be the best this section
has ever aeen. It is feared that there will
be a shortage other than Liliea. Theae are
more abundant than last year.

The Market

March 22. — The "happenings" that
we expect one week before Easter were along
normal lines. Some advance stock that
could not be held, was put upon the whole-
salers and considerable movement was
noticeable about the retail stores. There
was no special feature, aside from funeral
work. St. Patrick's day hardly created a
ripple, but the demand for white Carnations
was good.

The warm weather has pushed some stock,
especially bulbous flowers, and not a few
growers vn.\\ have their own troubles keeping
it back. "With all stock that had to be cut
and, it has been abundant, there has not
been any great evidence of glut; prices have
held fairly well.

Everybody is anxiously awaiting the
change to cooler temperature promised by
the weather man.

News Notes

Isaac H. Moss, Inc., had the big
Hibernian banquet at the Hotel Rennert
as usual.

Personal and Field Notes

It was regrettable that James Glass
did not send a vase of his seedling Snap-
dragon over to the New York Interna-
tional Show. At the last meeting of the
club, he staged a bunch of Antirrhinums
that were without question the finest ever
exhibited before the members.
Tom McCormick's stock of formosimi and

giganteum Lilies is the best he has ever
grown.

The Baltimore Wholesale Florist and
Supply Co. has sent cards inviting all
the store trade to inspect its exhibition
of Easter plants on Tuesday evening from
7.30 to 9.

The Park Board of Baltimore City, of
which J. Cookman Boyd is president, has
been doing commendable work along the
"Say it with Flowers" line.

We are quoting a high authority when
we say, "If the sick in the public wards
of the city hospitals cannot go to the
parks, then we will send the parks to
them." The Home for Insurables, K,er-
nan's Home for Crippled Children, the
U. S. Public Health Servics Hospital at
Fort McHenry, the Old Women's Home
and the Orphan Asylums have been the
grateful recipients of flowering plants.
These are not private sanitoria where
the patients receive gifts of flowers and
fruit every day, so you can imagine what
a pot of Hyacinths or a Cineraria means
to a shut in child or an incurable patient
whose friends cannot afiord to send flow-
ers at Easter. We do not know what the
park boards of other cities are doing, but
Tee Florists' Exchange wishes to com-
mend most highly this thoughtful remem-
brance of the sick on the part of the Bal-
timore officials.

James L. Towner of the Griffith, Tur-
ner & Co.'s. big force, says the unpre-
cedented rush of seed orders this season
has called every field salesman in off the
road to help take care of the store buyers.

Members of the club who attended the
International Flower Show, say it was
the finest ever staged in New York.

We could not help but notice the Nar-
cissus King Alfred at Robert L. Graham's
store. It is the largest we have ever aeen
and wonderfully grown.

Joe Merritt is running true to form, in
his "Good of the Club" ideaa. The mem-
bers are all anxious to know just what
he is going to stage after Mr. Hill's ar-
rival.

We are being congratulated all along
the line. For instance, in connection with
the annual Annual Spring Trade Num-
ber. We will not repeat all the compli-
mentary remarks heard hereabouts, as
brevity is the soul of good judgment, but
with a few exceptions local subscribers
want life memberships in The Florists'
Exchange fraternity.

The wholesale houses that are handling
plants this year say that the bookings in
this vicinity are the heaviest in the his-
tory of the business and most of the
stock is timed to the minute. Apparently
the warm, open weather is doing no harm.
The predictions are for the greatest of
all pot plant sales this Easter.

At this writing all the retail flower
stores have put on their advance indoor
trimmings. The semi-final window decora-
tions for the great week are mostly staged
or thought out.

Walter Gray will, indeed, be "occupied"
this week and it's going to take some
work to handle his vast stock of Easter
plants.

Wm. E. McKissick of the Leo Niessen
Co. is happy over the early booking
of cut flower orders. He is a bit
doubtful about Violets, but aH other
stocks will be plentiful.

They are traveling from afar to see
Chas. T. Siequarts' cut of Cattleyas.

Carroll B. Hoffman of Arlington, Md.,
will have a heavy cut of fancy Sweet Peas.
Liliea are just right, too.

August R. Tischinger has had a big
sale of Cinerarias and Hyacintha. He is
about sold out on this stock.

A Great Horticultural Family

It is not often that one finds a large family
of brothers engaged in commercial horticul-
ture, but the recent death of Thomas Page
of Hampton, England, reminds one of the
fact that he was one of seven brothers all
running large cut flower establishments in
the same locality. So strong is the Page
element in Hampton that the two are almost
synonymous.

Thomas Page was 59 years of age at his
death and his forte was Lilies, Carnations,
Chrysanthemums and Tulips. He raised
several good Carnations and Chrysanthe-
mums. His brothers handle similar lines
and , between them, they keep a large .
wholesale depot in Covent Garden pretty
well supplied. This depot is managed by
one of the brothers.

The glass area of the Page family covers

The FLOWERING CRABS

(MALUSES)

The Flowering Crabs have few rivals
among the gorgeous Spring flowering trees
and shrubs. At the Arnold Arboretum
one of the important events of the year is
the blooming of the Crabs followed by the
showy fruit.

Of easy culture, and planted singly or in
masses give remarkable and Quich results.
While beautiful on the small lawn flowering
Crabs are used to the greatest advantage
on a large scale in woodland and other mass
plantings, as are Dogwoods and Haw-
thorns. No group of plants have greater
value than the Maluaes for enlivening open
forest parks and country roadside; they
present striking effects when planted on
parking strips of boulevards or wide city
streets.

Boxford Nursery, East Boxford, Mas-
sachusetts offers eight of the finest va-
rieties. Flowering Crabs are quite scarce
and orders should be placed early.

"Hemlock Spruce"

Tsuga canadensis

OI-'TMN it i.s bei:ausc a plant or tree is
commim and plentiful that its good
(lualitics are not rightly valued.

We extol the praises of some beautiful
but less valuable tree native to another
country, and overlook the virtues of others
equally beautiful and more valuable that
grow right at our threshold.

Without diverting deserved attention
from the "true Spruces," the great
"Cedars," the Firs and Pines that clothe
mountain side and valley, nevertheless we
cannot be too generous in our praise of
our native Hemlock Spruce. I believe that
in an election for the best all-round ever-
green tree for landscape plantings, the win-
ning ballot would be cast for Tsuga cana-
densis.

There is a subtle charm in this plant's
habit of growth that captivates and when,
in Winter it stands forth in unchanging
green, it would be strange not to prize it
above all others. Let us go into any pine-
tum and while we may be attracted to for-
eign forms of evergreens because of some
unusual characteristics of color, form, etc..
yet in the final analysis, we are apt to
confess that our native Hemlock Spruce
is in line for first honors.

In the many and varied uses to which it
is put in plantings, it seldom looks out of
place. True, it is often used where the
real beauty of the plant will never be at-
tained and in positions Avhere, if allowed
to grow at will, its use would be nullified.
In small sizes with other slower growing
evergreens for base plantings and groups
it looks well for many years and does less
to spoil its close neighbors than any other,
kind of evergreen. As a foil or back-
ground to set off flowering plants like the
Dogwood, Rhododendron, Magnolia, etc.,
the Hemlock is well chosen. No more
graceful plant can be selected for an ever-
green hedge or boundary planting.

It is, however, when we view this won-
derful evergreen in its matured beauty that
we are most impressed. Towering aloft
and bearing its innumerable small cones,
we realize the tree's full worth.

Sometimes we find it doing well in what
appears to be a rich moist soil, then again
we will come across it growing, and ap-
parently well satisfied, in a dry and stony
position.

The magnificent grove of these trees on
Hemlock Hill (an adjunct to the Arnold

.Arbureluni in
of the Hl-iuIoc
.Mong the hi

Boston) is perhai)s one of the best illustrations of the possibilities

k left in its native state within the zone of cultivation.

gh slopes of Wissahickon Creek in Fairniount Park, Philadelphia, is

The Hemlock Spruce. Tsuga canadensis

In the iinal analysis we are apt to confess that our native Hemlock .Spruee is in line
for first honors

also seen a number of these trees in large
sizes growing among the deep fissures of
the rock. Their roots must descend very
deeply to reach the moisture that lies be-
neath the rocky surface as they must judg-
ing by the deep green and healthy appear-
ance of the foliage.

Of course they represent the seedling
growth of past generations and are, there-
fore, inured to conditions, with which
plants set out by the hand of man might
find it diiScult to compete. One important
point in the case of the Hemlock, which
should make both those for and those
against plant prohibition feel quite safe is
the fact that is it not only the evergreen
fiar crcelleiice, but that it can easily be
raised in bounteous supplies at a minimum
cost. In fact. Nature herself raises prac-
tically enough seedlings for our needs in
the natural haunts of the plant.

All we have to do is to carefully collect
the young stock and skillfully nurture and
cultivate the trees in our grounds, in order,
in a very few years, to have thousands of
plants that will please the most fastidious
customer. Edwix Matthews.

An Early Season for Nurserymen

After experiencing a Winter as note-
worthy for its mildness as was the previous
one for its severity, nurserymen have taken
advantage of the weather and started their
shipping activities a month earlier than is
usually possible. But, despite the earlier
start, "Arthur Mometer" persists in regis-
tering high notes and at this writing
SOdeg. is recorded, resulting in premature
opening of buds. Such conditions, if they
continue, will make the shipping season
short in spite of its earlier opening.

One week ago Jasminum nudiflorum,
Cornus mascula, Andromeda and Corylop-
sis were in bloom, which is two weeks
earlier than the writer's earliest record. In
1910, for instance, it was .A.pril 3 before
these plants bloomed. In 1916, frost did
not leave the ground until April 2 and no
flowers were yet in bloom when eight
inches of snow fell on .A.pril 9. Today
(March 19) Forsythia and Lonicera fra-
grantissima are in bloom and Japanese
Weeping Cherry and Magnolias are just
about to open. In fact, some twigs of the
Cherry cut last week and placed in water
are now in bloom, suggesting the possi-
bilities to nurserymen of offering sprays to
florists for forcing.

Not Reconstruction But Expansion Needed in
the Nursery Business

The following paper, presented by M. Mierisch of Glenview, 111., before the Illinois State
Nurserymen's Association, strikes us as exceedingly important and valuable for three reasons:
First, it contributes a sincere and carefully thought out expression of opinion to the existing con-
troversy as to the value of the trademark of the A, A. N. Second, it emphasizes in an exceed-
ingly lucid and convincing manner, a highly significant principle that is frequently overlooked;
this is the necessity of expanding any business uniformly in all directions. Let all the growth take
place in any one department — be it that of production, advertising salesmanship or what not —
while the other phases are neglected and a crash is inevitable. Third, it points out several prac-
tical ways in which American nurserymen can develop new opportunities for the sort of well
balanced expansion that can and will bring prosperity, if undertaken in a vigorous, hopeful, con-
fident spirit.

'N

OWADAYS we hear much about reconstruction
business. This implies the establishment of
new basis for operations, and the question

arises, Do we need reconstruction in the nursery busi-
ness? In my estimation the nursery business under the
leadership of the American Association of Nurserymen

has been passing through a period of reconstruction
during the last four years, and much has been accom-
plished in this period. Consequently there is no imme-
diate demand for reconstruction changes in the business,
not because everything at present is so excellent, so far
above the necessity of improvement, but because the
nursery business is already far advanced in reconstruction.

This work was started by the A. A. N. years ago
when it was felt that the nurserymen must do' some-
thing in order to keep up with the reconstruction efforts
in other important industries. Thus the Market De-
velopment Campaign came into existence in 1918 and
there is today a Market Development Committee that
has worked out a splendid program for publicity, my
time does not permit me to go into details ; besides all
members of the association are familiar with the work
done. Let it suffice to point out the effective way in
which the association has come before the public with
its trademark — "Trustworthy Trees and Plants."
What the Trademark Means

it means that the user is a member of this honorable

The Florists' Exchange

Lancaster, Pa.

In the retail trade, the general reply
is nothing new; business in plants is
exceptionally good, in cut flowers nothing
startling.
Record Breaking Easter Expected

Of course each and every one is
up on his or her toes working for the
great Eastertide, and the prospects are
for a record breaking production and an
equally record breaking sales day. -A- few
frosty mornings the past week helped
the growers a little in their efforts to hold
stock in shape for Easter. This does not
mean pickled Carnations — they are a thing
of the past with all intelligent growers;
but it has been some proposition with
the grower of plants to hold them back so
that they would be in fair condition for
the Easter trade.

Out at Harry K. and Abraham K.
Rohrer's there is the finest lot of bloom-
ing Easter stock that this city has ever
seen. Of course we have to go to the
larger centers for much of our stock but
when it comes to Calceolarias, Cyclamens,
Cinererias and Primulas, well, this Rohrer
stock fills the bill 100 per cent and with
Primula often run a premium on the
100 per cent.

For variety the B. E. Barr establish-
ment which grows only to supply its own
retail trade stands at the head of the list,
as there are few flowers known as Easter
flowers that cannot be foxmd in these
houses as well as some that are new, and
some that have been resurrected from
olden days. Taken altogether, Lancaster
will be well supplied with the stock that
makes for business and creates a love
for flowers. Albeet M. Heer.

The Market

Mar. 21. — Business has been excep-
tionally good the past week. Stock has
been plentiful and cheap and large quan-
tities have been moved daily. St. Pat-
rick's Day did not cause much of a stir;
it did create a demand for white Carna-
tions, but not enough to cause the price
to advance.

The demand for Pahn Simday seemed to
be smaller than usual without nearly so
many Lilies being used in the churches as
in other years.

Both Easter Lilies md Callas are com-
ing in in large quantities and prices had
to be cut in order to move them. At pres-
ent it looks as though there would be
plenty of both to take care of all Easter
orders.

The supply of Roses is on the increase
and the quality is the best of the sea-
son. If the Easter supply is as good as
that on hand at present there will be very
few complaints about Roses.

The supply of Carnations is the largest
■of the season and the quality is the best,
but it seems that this market can absorb
a vast quantity of Carnations and that
it takes an estra large cut to cause an
oversupply.

The warm Springlike days brought in
the Sweet Peas by the thousands and it
has been impossible to realize anywhere
near what they were worth. Only the
beat have been used to fill orders, the
balance usually finding its way to the
street boys.

The supply of Tulips has been small
and it looks as though the Easter supply
would not be very large.

Some fine Jonquils are arriving, among
them a few Eang Alfred, one of the larg-
est varieties ever seen in the market.

Violets have been very poor, and it
is to be hoped that the quality will im-
prove before Easter, otherwise there will
be a lot of dissatisfied customers.
Big Easter Business at Hand

All indications point to a big Easter
business. The wholesale houses report
advance orders away ahead of expecta-
tions, although the out of town florists
seem to be ordering heavier than the
local trade. The John Bader Co. and
The Blind Floral Co. report all their
Easter plants sold with the exception of
a few Rose bushes.

A grippe epidemic has struck the McCal-
lum Co. It has attacked at least one per-
son in each department, the office having
four confined at home at one time.

Geo. McCallum, sales manager for the
company, is in Detroit, where he will be
found until after the Easter rush. Mr.
Phillips, manager of the Decorative De-

partment, is in Chicago attending the
Marshall Field opening, which is the
event of the year for the decorators and
window trimmers. Mr. Phillips is the
treasurer of the local branch of decora-
tors and window trimmers organization.

Jacob Gerwig of the Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co., is in Buffalo attending the
National Bowling Tournament. He is
some bowler, having carried off first hon-
ors at a local tournament several weeks
ago..

The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is ar-
ranging for visit to its big range of glass
at Crystal Farm, Bakerstown, Pa., on
Thursday, March 3 1 . Invitations are
being sent out in large numbers and others
who may wish to attend are heartily wel-
come. Notification to T. P. Langhans of
the company will be appreciated, as he is
arranging for auto or trolley car transpor-
tation.

The range is located on the Three De-
gree Road, 22 miles from the city. The
party will leave the store, 116-118 Sev-
enth St., at 11 a.m. and lunch will be
served at Bakerstown at 1 p.m. A most
enjoyable outing is promised.

A. W. Smith of the A. W. Smith Flower
Stores Co. has just returned from Fair-
mount, W. Va., where he attended the
convention of Rotarians. Mrs. Smith
has a high standing in the local club.

Ed. Weaver of Randolph and McClem-
ents has just returned from a trip on
which he visited Cleveland and Detroit.
Due to the fact that its dates were so close
to Easter, there were very few from here
who attended the New York show.

Dyed Flowers -Knocked"

St. Patrick's Day proved a "fiizzle"
in the National Capital; people declined
to buy "green" Carnations or other em-
blems of the day. The florists had made
up large quantities of dyed flowers in an-
ticipation of good business; they had
based their anticipations on the trade of
last year when they found that every-
thing sold. Then the schools and semi-
naries used Carnations, Sweet Peas and
Roses in corsages and decorations for balls,
receptions and other social events. This
year, such orders were conspicuous by
their absence. On Friday, the vases in
the stores were still full of green Car-
nations. The retailers paid $10 and $12
per 100 for them and were asking 20c. and
25c. each for them. Prominent florists
believe that the spirit of the day has
waned and that nest year there will be
little or no effort to gain trade with dyed
flowers.

Easter Prospects

All of the greenhouses in this vi-
cinity are filled to capacity with Easter
stock and the growers say there will be
plenty of everything desirable. Some ex-
ceptionally fine Rambler Roses are being
offered and are selling well at high prices.
The unprecedented hot weather has
brought out stock in large quantities in.
advance of Easter but, with the exception,
perhaps, of Sweet Peas, this will not ma-
terially trouble the market.

"We have been fighting flowers," say
the wholesalers who, for several weeks,
have had to care for more stock than
they have had jars to place them in. They
were glad of the respite that came with
the cooler weather Tuesday. That also
helped Violets which have been "heat
struck" and poor.

Unlike in previous years, when most
of the retailers delayed placing their or-
ders until the last minute, the wholesalers
have _ been receiving heavy bookings for
all kinds of stock; particularly have they
received orders for Cattleyas, Valley and
American Beauty Roses. Pot Lilies were
quoted at 25c. per bloom, the same as last
year, but other flowers could be had in
any quantity at prices lower than those
of 1920.

Production this year is heavier than
ever before. A majority of the local grow-
ers have, within the past twelve months,
materially increased their glass and al-
most peak_ production has been obtained.
In Carnations, this is largely responsible
for prices of $12 to $15 per 100 as against
$15 to $20, the prices of 1920.

As a Florist Sees Things

"The florists of Washington should
find business better this Summer than
would otherwise be the case," said David

G. Grillbortzer, president of the Wash-
ington Floral Co., "for it is expected that
Congress will remain in session imtil late
in the Fall; that will keep thousands of
people here who would otherwise return
to their home towns. Business has been
pretty good and here again is something
unusual. In former years, when there has
been a change of administration, business
in Washington would be fiat for many
months. Political appointees would be re-
lieved of their offices in large numbers and
other employees would be afraid that they
were slated for dismissal and a condition
very much like the recent buyers' strike
would occur.

"The incoming of the Republican party
has had just the opposite effect and trade
has been quite satisfactory. Further,
there is every indication that the demand
for flowers will increase because it is ex-
pected that the social activity scheduled
for the White House, will have a general
influence throughout society locally."

Flowers Scarce at Opening of Senate

Speaking about the White House
brings to mind a very recent criticism
growing out of the inaugural exercises in
the Senate. Despite several himdred
women, many of them very prominent, in
the Senate galleries, flowers were conspicu-
ous by their absence. All told, there were
less than a score of corsages in evidence
and many of these looked as though they
were home-made.

The bulk of the flowers were worn by
women in the President's gallery. Mr.
Wilson, wife of the retiring president;
Mrs. Harding, wife of the incoming presi-
dent; Miss Abagail Harding, Mrs. Cool-
idge, wife of the vice-president, and one
or two others in that gallery
wore corsages. In another gallery,
Lillian Russell wore a corsage and
the writer counted exactly ten other cor-
sages in different parts of the galleries.
On the floor of the Senate, Miss Alice
Robertson, the new Congresswoman, car-
ried a bouquet, made corsage fashion, of
Violets, pink Roses and ferns. With the
exception of the ladies in the Presidential
gallery, with whom Ward Roses, orchids
and Violets were the favorites, none of
the corsages were particularly attractive.
One strange combination was Daffodils
and Carnations. Another corsage was of
Violets and Lily of the Valley, one was
of orchids, while the others were simply
bunches of Sweet Peas and fern leaves.
Two men in the galleries wore white Car-
nations.

With such a showing as that — on a gala
day — it would look as though flowers
were out of style. Washington is a big
flower city and to use an expression here,
"The florists have gotta' do better'n that
if they want to keep things a-humming."
More Work lor Wm. F. Gude

William P. Gude is being talked
of quite prominently as the forthcoming
member of the directors of the Fifth Fed-
eral Reserve District as successor to Cap-
tain James F. Oyster, the present incum-
bent. Class B directors must be engaged
in commercial business and Captain Oyster
has just been made a member of the
Board of Commissioners of the District
of Columbia. He thus becomes ineligible.

The office is a very important one and
friends of Mr. Gude believe he is just
the man to fill the job. The board of di-
rectors for the Fifth District consists of
one representative each from Maryland,
the District of Columbia, Virginia, West
Virginia, North Carolina and South Caro-
lina. The headquarters are in Richmond,
Va. Connection with this big banking
system will add much to Mr. Gude's pres-
tige and his selection would be an honor
to him. E. A. D.

Toronto, Ont.

Tbe Market

Mar. 18. — Business has been good
among Toronto stores. Advance orders
for Easter are reported heavy and it
looks as if Easter business would be equal
to or greater than that of last year.
These are lots of potted plants available
including some fine large Rhododendrons.
The St. Patrick's Day windows this
week are splendid, consisting chiefly of
Shamrock plants with flag and harp deco-
rations. Many other stores have their
windows decorated, evidencing the fact
that there have been many decorating
orders.

Several Easter retail lists have been
issued and a reduction in the price_ of
Roses and Spring flowers in compariBon
with those for Easter last year is noted.
Those interviewed on the condition of
trade all report that business is steady
and good with bright prospects for Easter
trade.

H. G. Dillemuth has booked a large
number of advance Easter orders, espec-
ially from out of town.

S. A. Frost has had a large number of
decorations. Though many of them are
small, the aggregate business is large.

Chas. Cooper has been doing a good
steady trade in all lines.

J. J. Higgins has been busy on design «
work.

J. A. Neal has been busy. Orders are «
good and he is preparing for a big Easter.

Retail Club Meeting

The Toronto Retail Florists Club
held its regular meeting in the club rooms
on March 14. Coupled with business waB
a box social which was much enjoyed. In
the absence of President S. A. McFadden, i,
who was ill, the chair was taken by Vice- *
President J. J. Higgins. It was decided i
that the club will attend the Royal Alex- »
andra Theatre in a body on the afternoon
of April 1. The downstairs boxes have
been taken in addition to a block of seats.
A committee consisting of Mrs. Moore,
Mrs. Waters and Miss Mearns was ap-
pointed to select club colors.

Following the business meeting Mra.
Moore was selected as auctioneer and
much fun was obtained from the disposing
of the boxes. Quite a sum of money was
added to the club's coffers as there were
a large number present. Dancing, Ted*
tations, etc. were then enjoyed, after
which the members seated at small tables,
enjoyed coffee and the contents of the
boxes. April 11 will be Growers' Night
when it is hoped all the growers will at-
tend. An excellent address will be given
by a prominent grower after which a sup-
per will be served.

Cooperative advertising will be carried
on for Easter. !■

Cooperative Easter Advertising "

J. J. Higgins, chairman of the To*
ronto Florists* Publicity Committee, is a
thorough believer in publicity. Flowers
are plentiful and he expects that the
Easter trade will be greatly stimulated by
the cooperative advertising. Prices are
lower for a number of flowers and this
will help considerably. This year florista
•will issue their own folders, but aga'
all will join in using large newspaper
space and all will reap the benefit of this
publicity.

S. Jordon of Peterborough, Fred Wal-
dron of Brantford, Mr. Cooper of Bramp-
ton, Mr. Armstrong of Kitchener, Mr. Or-
lowski, Harry Brandt were visitors to
Toronto during the past week.

D. Post of the F. K. Prouse Co. visited
Brantford, St. Thomas and London re-
cently and found business good at these
centers.

Geo. Hatcher does a good steady busi-
ness. He has experienced a good demand
with a plentiful supply of flowers.

Toronto florists and a few out of town
visitors motored out to the greenhouses of
John H. Dunlop & Son, Limited, Rich-
mond Hill, on March 16. The party was
in charge of Messrs. Geraghty and Spilli-
ter, cars being furnished by Mr. Dun-
lop. Everything at the greenhouses looked
fine, there being very choice Lilies and a
fair supply of Roses of good quality
though not enough to fill the demand.
After the party had toured the green-
houses, refreshments and cigars were
furnished.

Geo. Yavner, Arcade Florist, has a fine
display of Easter Lilies in his upstairs
show room. In addition he has a fine
lot of Azaleas. Business has been ex-
cellent, there being a big demand for flow-
ers for St. Patrick's Day as well as for
Shamrocks and design work.

The Market

.\Iur. ID. — The markut the puat week
showed heavy conHitjumenta in all lines
of flowers. White Carnations ebpecially
were plentiful; many thousnda were aold
for dyeing purposuB at $3 andd $4 per
100. There was quite a demand for flow-
ers on Alarch 17. Many white Sweet Peas
were colored green, aa were white Roaea.
If this warm weather continues, bulbous
stock will be scarce and will help stiffen
the prices of Kosea and Carnations. Ac-
cording to the present outlook, the sup-
ply in Lilies will be limited; they are
now <iuotod at $20 per 100. Carnationa
are quoted at $10 per 100; Sweet Peas at
$2 to $4; Jonquils at $8 per 100. Fancy
Roses are selling at 40c. and 50c. The

filantsmeu are getting ready for big de-
iveriea of plants early next week.

March 21. — Owing to warm weather,
stock luis become ' very plentiful. Car-
nations and Roses are in full supply, the
former selling from $2 to $6 per 100
and the latter, $6 to $25. For Easter, it
is expected that prices will advance. Car-
nations to be $10 per 100, Roses, $10
to $50 and Lilies, $20 per 100.

News Notes

H. C. Berning has a fine supply of
Carnations, Roses and Sweet Peas; the
warm weather is bringing in large quan-
tities of the latter, but with a tendency to
shorter stems.

The Windier Wholesale Floral Co. is
receiving some choice flowers from the

I local growers in Sweet Peas and bulbous

' stock.

George Waldbart is a daily visitor at

' the George Waldbart Floral Co's. store.
He is looking fine and has completely re-

1 covered from his illness.

; Special sales were made on March 17
of green Carnations at 10c. each.

': ness.

, The Market

' Mar. 21. — Considerably more stock

reached this market during the week end-
ing March 19 than could be moved through
regular trade channels; consequently, the
street venders were enabled to do a little
business. Unseasonably warm weather
, prevailing toward the end of the week
served to greatly stimulate production.
, St. Patrick's Day did not materially in-
, crease the demand for flowers. For the
', past several seasons, this occasion has
created a heavy demand for white Car-
nations, but this year little more than a
'.ripple was created in the normal current

■ of business. Nor was there an increased
demand for special accessories. Many re-

itailers assert that this Irish holiday has
totally lost its significance to florists.

Without doubt the present state of tur-
'moil in the old country together with our
[industrial depression is the cause of the

■ serious curtailment of the customary good
! St. Patrick's Day business. Perhaps un-
ider normal conditions, a little playing up
' of suitable sentiment through advertising

might restore, if not improve, the former
appreciable demand for the wares of the
: florist upon this occasion.

During the week's trading, a goodly
; share of the receipts was moved by special
i concession to retailers conducting week end
sales. In fact, particular effort was re-
; quired to move the vastly augmented ar-
rivals in Roses, Carnations and bulbous
stock. And while a noteworthy volume
of business was transacted daily,' the low-
ered values seriously affected the mone-
,tary totals.

Palm Sunday dawned with April show-
lers and a temperature typical of the
[month of May. The sun came out at noon
,and provided an ideal setting for the
; Flower Shows in progress at the establish-
iments of the J. M. Gasser Co., the Park
Floral Co. and G. W. Mercer. As the
sudden advent of Summer brought every-
body out of doors, these popular annual
events were unusually patronized.

Easter Prospects

The volume of advance orders al-
ready booked for Easter indicates a heavy
business for this greatest of plant and
ilower festivalH. Despite tlie mild weather
there is considerable tardy stock reported,
particularly in Roses and Lilies. There ia
also reported some premature bulbous
stock and Valley. The EaHter plant stock
is very good and as there is no surplus
good values will undoubtedly prevail.

Good crops of cut flowers are in sight
in the principal local ranges and a wide
and generous selection will be offered to
Easter purchasers. There is every reason
for retailers, wholesalers and growers
alike to anticipate a liberal and profit-
able business. Those that prepare ade-
quately and let the fact that they have
done so be known — are practically assured
of a gratifying volume of trade.

Organization Doings

The next meeting of the Florists
Club will be held at the HoUenden, Mon-
day, April 5. A feature of the club meet-
ings for the next several months will be
the 'Tlound Table" sessions of the Flower
Show Committees. All committeemen are
requested to be in attendance.

Secretary George Bate of the Ohio Dis-
trict of the American Flower Growers
Association is very optimistic as to the
future of the local organization. The pres-
sure of business necessarily makes the
work of organization slow, but it is stead-
ily making progress. Growers who have
not yet signed up should lose no time in
coming into the fold, as they have every-
thing to gain and nothing to lose in al-
lying themselves with the live wires of
their branch of the profession.

With such able men as Timothy Smith
and Walter Felton, assisted by an execu-
tive committee of equally distinguished
personnel, at the head of the newly
formed Retailers Association, there is
every reason to anticipate the early ac-
celeration, of the wheels of progress in
that section of our local trade. An exten-
sive advertising campaign will soon be
launched, which shall undoubtedly pro-
duce gratifying results. Our latest organi-
zation has the well wishes and is assured
of the heartiest cooperation of other
branches of the business.

Our Women Florists

The noteworthy success of the
women florists of the Fifth City and its
environs establishes the peculiar aptitude
of women for the work of our profession
and incidentally bears nut the dictum that
there is no sex in business. We doubt if
any_ community nossesses in any line of
business so creditable and successful a co-
terie of business women as Mrs. G. W
Mercer, Mrs. Christinp Cares, Mrs. L C
Cbntt, Mrs. H. B. Fearn, Miss Emilv
Dunn. Arias Hesfpr A. Getz. Miss Kathe-
rme O'Connor. l\Tiss Elvira Schmidt, Miss
M. M. Matprn. Mrs. Helen M. Schluraff
and :Mrs. Nellie Ziegler. In addition to
bearing the burdens of business these
women take an active interest in trade
organization work. J. McL

All StocV at Its Best

The continued warm weather has
brought the market to a midseason basis.
Roses and other stock are now at their
best, but with continued warm weather,
the quality of stock in general will soon
deteriorate. No marked changes have
taken place in the price of stock. Violets
and Freesia are done. Murillo and
Couronne d'Or Tulips are extra fine and
bicolor Victoria. Jonquils are excellent
stock, too. Snapdragon is fine and Sweet
Peas are going to be in big crop for
Easter. Pot Lilies are a trifle short, but
cut flower stock will be plentiful.

In blooming plants, Roses, Genistas,
Hydrangeas and Cinerarias look fine and
bulb stock will be timed just right. There
is a little uncertainty as to just how much
to order this year. Advance orders with
commission houses are up to expectations,
but there is no stampede. With the re-
tailors the same uncertainty exists, in fact,
everyone seems to be buying light in high
priced arrangements and confining them-
selves to moderate to medium priced
stock. No doubt business is going to be
good, indeed, as good as it was last year,
■with somewhat lower prices prevailing.

Kalamazoo, Mich.

Easter Prospects

Easter with its possibilities is just
now the chief concern of the local trade
and in so far as stock is concerned there
will be no cause for worry. A fine, bright
week is the one chief factor in creating
good business and we are hoping that we
will get it, for surely we need all the
good luck we can get this season.

Last year, Easter Sunday, was about
as rough a day as I ever saw in April, and
on the 28th day of March we were visited
with a damaging hailstorm. This date
will correspond with Easter this year, so
we are hoping hard for a normal season
with fine weather. Business during Lent
has been generally reported as dull to
fair and certainly not up to that of last
year, as I can personally testify, although
it is true that whenever flowers are really
needed there is the money ready to buy
them with. At the same time, what really
makes the business go is when people are
buying flowers for their own pleasure.

Probable Prices

As to Easter prices and flowers,
there will be plenty of good Roses, Car-
nations and Lilies on hand and moderate
prices will prevail at wholesale. Roses
will probably fetch from $6 to $25 per
100, Carnations, $6 to $10, and Lilies
a round 25c. j according to present prob-
abilities. Retail Roses will start around
S2.50 to $5 per doz.: Carnations, $1.50 to
$2.50 ; Lilies and Callas about $4 per
doz.; Violets and Peas, 50c. to 75c. per
bunch, and bulb stock around $1. Potted
plants will be mainly Hydrangeas, Be-
gonias, Lilies, Cyclamen and the like, at
prices ranging from $1 to $5. Possibly
still more modest potted plants may be
obtainable for 75c. or even 50c. Anyway,
there will be plenty, so there is certainly
no need to boom artificial flowers just
now. We expect to do a big trade along
these lines, make a good healthy clear-
ance of the houses and so be ready for
the Spring trade which promises to be
early this year. S. B.

The Market

Mar. 21. — Stock has been plentiful
the last week, consequently prices received
in many cases have fallen off. Carnations
seem to be the only thing that didn't go
to the bad and the green ones were in
good demand last week. Hyacinths have
been sell ing as low as 8c. for medium
sizes. Other bulb stock has been normal.

The weather has been abnormally warm
and most greenhouses have had no fire for
the last two weeks. This is unusual in
this section and it has put the growers
of bulb stock in hot water. Quite a few
who had their Easter stock in last Sat-
urday will not be able to hold it for
Easter, especially if the weather con-
tinues at 80deg. At the same time the
fellows with Lilies 'way late are con-
gratulating themselves on the extra Lilies
that will come in on time. These are
much in demand. Stock for Easter will
be normal. Outdoor single Daffodils will
probably be in by then.

And uow New York has come to Day-
ton. Harry Bunyard, better known as
Stumpp and Walters' man and also with
A. Boddington for some years, is now
manager of the Zetlitz Floral Products

Co,, Greenhouses. That's one more good
man in Dayton. So look out for some
fancy stock.

Mr. Block of the Flower shop of Hamil-
t'lu, U., Jos. Goldman of Middletown, O.,
Mrs. 1. Waters and 1. S. Anderson of
Hcnia, O., and a number of other florists
were doing their Easter stock buying last
week. E. E. SCHAEFEU.

The Market

Mar. 17. — March continues rather
moist and with little simshine. But the
longer days are showing their effect in
the better quality of the stock. Flowers
uf all kinds are fairly plentiful, but the
demand is equal to the supply. Roses are
holding their own in price and the quality
ia excellent. The Carnation is plentiful
in pink, but reds and whites are inclined
to be short. The red Carnation especially
has enjoyed a spurt in demand, while the
white was much sought for, for coloring
on St. Patrick's Day. These flowers sold
up to the limit of supply at $2 per doz.
Considerable quantities of Daffodils were
colored and sold faster than they would
take up the dye. The local Violet mar-
ket is finished for another season and the
California Violets are all that we have
to offer. Sweet Peas are coming along
and showing some "pep" by blooming in
appreciable quantities. These sell at sight
at from 50c. to 75c. per bunch.

Weddings and funerals have been fairly
numerous of late so that all hands are
fairly busy. With Easter at our door
little time is wasted as there are a hun-
dred and one things that require atten-
tion. The stock that will be offered will
all be tip top but there will be little ex-
cept the usual run of Easter plants. Prices
will probably hold last year's levels.

Speaking of business generally, although
not what it was last year, it is neverthe-
less fairly good. All hands are busy and
from the looks of things there will be no
wholesale discharges such as I hear Seattle
has had to contend with. Two weeks ago
Seattle had a 30 per cent decrease in
the week's bank clearings while those
in Portland fell off only 8 per cent; so
we still have a little edge on them there.

Notes, News and Novelties

The Robinson Floral Co. is adding
some glass to its range near Woodstock
District. At present this concern has lit-
tle to offer as it is devoting its entire
space to bedding stock.

Although all the growers did not suc-
ceed in getting all their Lilies to bloom
for Easter, there will nevertheless be
enough to go around. Should all grow-
ers have come in 100 per cent strong the
price question would certainly have loomed
up as there are always those that try to
buy and sell for less, holding up to the
grower large items of one purchase. For
the past 20 years there was but one year
when a surplus of Lilies was left in the
growers' hands.

Visitors of the week were Geo. Rosaia
of Rosaia Bros., Seattle.; Sam Roake, the
the green goods man from Castle Rock,
Wash.; and Geo. Hashlinger from Hood

What Constitutes a Garden ?

There may be readers who will disagree with Brother
McLellan's choice of Nymphsea odorata as "Queen of
Flora's realm," but we doubt if many will fail to be
impressed and charmed by his most recent venture onto
the sea of poesy in which he sets forth his choice and
the reasons therefor. We publish his little verse in
another column with real pleasure and appreciation of
the privilege.

One of the greatest advertising assets of the seeds-
man, nurseryman or florist, is the mailing list but, unless
this mailing list is kept right up to taw, it means disap-
pointment and loss. A recent experience of a defective
mailing list should drive this point home to everybody.
One day last week we received three envelopes from
the same concern all addressed to the editor or to
The Florists' Exchange. On the very next day we
received five more envelopes from the same firm and
similarly addressed. A two-cent stamp was on the ex-
pensive envelope, and the enclosures in all cases were
exactly the same.

This is, in all probability, an extreme case, but dupli-
cation, incorrect addresses or addressing, and the many
other complications in connection with keeping a mail-
ing list, should have as careful attention as your cash
receipts — ^for here your cash is certainly involved.

Easter 1921

Perhaps the feature of this Easter that first occurs
to anyone is the unusually early date on which it falls.
Some one with a liking for mathematical calculations
has figured out that not until 1933 will Easter again
fall as early as March 37. Looking still further ahead
in 1937 it will occur on March 28 and in 1940 on March
34. Needless to say growers need not begin to worry
about this right away. Over a large section of the
country another interesting feature this year is the really
remarkable weather. During the past two or three
seasons some of us have become so used to what might
truthfully be called Easter blizzards that the wonderful
Spring weather we are now enjoying, following the
delightfully mild Winter, is most truly welcome.

Of course this same weather has had its undesirable
effects in bringing large amounts of stock into perfect
condition sooner than was desired. However, reports
from all directions seem to indicate that stock prema-
turely matured has nevertheless met with a fairly con-
stant demand and been absorbed at satisfactory prices.
In consequence, the outlook for the actual Easter trade
seetns to be, first, that there will be ample but by no
means excessive supplies of all kinds of stock; second,
that the stage is set for a splendid demand; third, that
the prices, although lower, than those of the past year
or two, and quite satisfactory to the consumer, will
nevertheless enable all those engaged in growing and
selling cut flowers and plants to realize a profit.

Of course one could find the pessimist if one looks
hard enough— as Briggs says, "Some one is always tak-
ing the joy out of life" — if you give them the chance
to do so, but there is no doubt but that the optimists
are by far in the majority this year to the extent indeed
that Easter 1921 may truthfully be said to be approach-
ing on rosy wings of hope and confidence no less than
upon the snow-white pinions of peace with which every
Easter is so intimatel}^ associated.

"Early to bed, and early to rise;
Work like the dickens — and advertise."

This uptodate edition of an old jingle chosen as a
trade motto by a Memphis (Tenn.) retailer is "mighty
good stuff." There isn't a member of the craft, we don't
care how successful he already is, who wouldn't do well
to write it out, frame it, and hang it up in a prominent
place — and keep it there. Or, better still, learn it by
heart, teach it to all his staff and then, when business
temporarily looks dull, gather the force around him
and repeat it, loudly, cheerfully and convincingly in
chorus. Lived up to, the sentiment will have the same
bracing effect on the trade as fifteen minutes of vigor-
ous calisthenics, in front of an open window every
morning has on your physical well being.

By the way, the proof of the value of well planned
local advertising is, like that of the pudding, in its
after effects. Note what the Memphis folk think about
newspaper publicity. Then "go thou and do likewise."

The general trend of reports as to St. Patrick's Day
business seems to indicate a falling off in the general
interest in this former Red Letter Day. It is even stated
by certain retailers in one large eastern city that "March
17 has totally lost its significance for florists." It is
advanced as a possible explanation that the state of tur-
moil existing in Ireland is partly responsible, and there
is doubtless some truth in this. Where sympathy is so
distinctly divided, as in connection with the Irish ques-
tion it is difficult, if not impossible, to arouse the spirit
of enthusiasm that a few years ago made "the wearing
of the green" an almost universal custom throughout
this country. In those days one did not have to be of
Irish birth or even of Irish ancestry to join in the gen-
eral celebration. Today, whatever one feels on the
subject, he is liable to prefer to keep to himself, and
least of all to flaunt his feelings by means of distinctive
personal decorations. From our standpoint as florists,
this is simply an additional reason for hoping that the
Irish problem may soon be brought to a generally satis-
factory and harmonious solution.

our smaller towns. The wonder is that so little of this
is being done. If the New York Flower Show Com-
mittee would issue a booklet embodying its experiences
of the past years it would be helpful in the highest in
this connection as it would enable other cities to avoid
pitfalls and errors and furnish guidance to them in
formulating their own plans. We hope to see this done.
Imagine the cumulative effect in the national e.xten-
sion of floricultural interests if, instead of two or three
there were twenty large Spring flower shows held an-
nually throughout the country! The way has been
blazed. The New York methods may be followed,
adopting conditions to fit each locality, and Gee I as
our writer says, what a glorious increase in the seed,
florist and nursery business the annual institution of all
these shows would bring about.

The Eighth International Flower Show

Throughout the columns of this and of last week's
Florists' Exchange may be traced in fullest detail the
story of the Eighth International Flower Show. In
this connection why not plain "New York Flower Show"
— we confess we don't know.

Readers who viewed the display with their own eyes
have given us credit for the best and most intelligible
description of a flower show that has ever appeared in
the American press. Those who were unable to see it in
person can peruse our reports knowing that things
were as depicted, that our statements were not over-
drawn, that our word pictures were truthful, and that
this show was as eminently satisfactory to the general
public who paid their good money to view it as was its
outcome to the Flower Show Committee, its promoters
and backers generally.

The four Wonderland gardens, to create which great
sums of money were freely spent by their public-spirited
makers, undoubtedly served as the principal attraction;
this was fully evidenced by the attention which they
received. Undoubtedly the committee will enlarge on
this feature in flower shows to follow.

But these gardens were by no means the only feature.
Everywhere one moved were flowers and plants of a
quality to satisfy the most exacting expert. For this
reason one dare not single out this or that feature for
praise where practically all competitive exhibits were
equally commendable.

As to quality of stock, our growers can rest assured
they have nothing to fear in competition with the world.
Our expert writer, a keen observer of shows through-
out Great Britain and the Continent for twenty years,
freely concedes this.

The National Flower Show at Cleveland next Spring
will be hard pressed to beat the quality of the plants
and flowers New Yorkers w^re privileged to inspect.

New Yorkers appreciate changes and betterments to
the full and, while it is going to be a task to improve
on what has really proven (with some absences of cer-
tain classes of plants hitherto shown, due to Qu. 37
and other causes) to be the greatest of all our local
exhibitions to date, our Flower Show Committee for
1932 will early put their heads together in the endeavor
to create additional surprises for next year. If the same
structure is available in 1923 — and from present appear-
ances it will so be — this will be all to the good because
now we know the building and just what it will stand
in the way of innovations.

The strictly trade exhibits constituted a feature that
added to the enjoyment of visitors. In themselves they
were a real show.

These annual events undoubtedly stimulate floricul-
tural interests as no other one enterprise can and, in
this connection, it is to be pointed out that there exists
no reason why Spri"'i flower shows cannot be success-
fully instituted in all our cities — yes, even in some of

1921 Geranium Cutting Prices

Advance price lists issued by prominent Pennsylvania
Geranium specialists indicate that the prices of Gera-
nium cuttings for the 1931 season (up to Oct. 1) will
be approximately $20 per 1000 for S. A. Nutt and Buch-
ner, and $30 per 1000 for Ricard and Poitevine.
One grower suggests Summer cuttings as a par-
ticularly "good buy," urging his customers, if they have
the room and the time, to secure at least part of their
stock in May, June or July, and thereby protect them-
selves against a possible shortage later in the season.
The policy of buying about half their supply in the
Summer and the balance in the Fall and early Winter
is, he remarks, a popular one among a good many pro-
gressive florists.

Have you noted on another page of this issue the
splendid sentiment of the Baltimore Park Board, as
quoted in the field notes from that city? It is to the
effect that "if the sick in the public wards of the city
hospitals cannot go to the parks, then we will send the
parks to them" — that is, in the form of cut flowers and
growing plants taken from municipal gardens and green-
houses.

Not often does one come across a more frank ex-
pression of an appreciation of the paternal responsibility
that a city government should feel toward its poor; and
not often does the realization of this responsibility
lead to such a happy solution — even if only a partial
solution — such as that hit upon by the city fathers in
Baltimore. After all it is the "shut-ins" who are most
in need of the soothing, comforting, healing influence
that flowers can exert. The very ability to be outdoors,
to walk the streets, and visit the parks of a great city,
to breathe the fresh air and enjoy the scent of flowers,
the bare earth, the growing grass, and the spreading
foliage on every side, is a boon in itself and one that
is fully appreciated only when, as in the case of an
invalid, it is withdrawn. How much more, then, do
we owe those who through no fault of their own find
themselves confined in hospital wards, often without
friends to brighten their days and bring them extra
little comforts? And how much it can mean to such
unfortunates to have plants and flowers brought to
them from the outdoors to which so often their thoughts
must sadly turn?

Meehan Nurseries Offered for Sale

A Correction of a Statement Which Should Not HtTb
Been Made in the First Place

In The Florists' Exchange of March 12, page 606,'
under the above heading, appeared a statement to the
effect that under the terms of the will of the late
Thomas Meehan, the well-known nurseries of Thomas
Meehan & Sons, Dresher, Pa., were recently offered at
auction in Philadelphia; that no offers were made, and
that the property was withdrawn at the order of the
executors. This statement was absolutely incorrect and
we hasten to rectify same in order that no injury to an}
concerned may result from said statement.

The facts of the case are as follows:

Thomas Meehan & Sons own no nurseries at Dresher
Pa. Neither has the estate of Thomas Meehan any
interest whatever in the property at Dresher, said nur-
series at Dresher belonging exclusively to the hous(
of Thomas B. Meehan Co.

Merely for legal reasons, on account of the estate ol
Thomas Meehan still remaining unsettled, the property
of the estate on which the nursery stock of Thoroai
Meehan & Sons at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, is growing
was offered for sale without expectation of getting i
bidder and no bid was made. The nursery stock ol
Thomas Meehan & Sons being on the ground, saic
stock was included in the general oft'er of sale.

Thomas Meehan & Sons, Mt. .A.iry, Philadelphia, Pa.
are still in tlie nursery business there as heretofore, an(
expect to continue on indefinitely.

American Rose Society

Massachusetts Horticultural Society Combined
Shows

[ The 1921 anmi.-il Kose Sh.iw to lie hold in Boston,
April G to 10, in Horticultural Hall, under the auspices
o( the American Kose Society, and the Spring show of
the Mass. Hort. Society, now promises to be one of the
best shows ever staRcd. Ollicials of the two organiza-
tions, alter discussing jilans recently, report th.it there
is a great interest in the show on the part of Rose dis-
tributers, Kose breeders. Rose amateurs, and that al-
ready there has been evidenced a fine support and plans
for a heavy entry. Thousands of dollars are offered as
prizes ; also some valuable medals by both societies and
by interested growers.

In connection with the Rose show there will be held
lectures upon Rose culture at '•'•.'M each afternoon of the
exposition, and the Mass. Hort. Society will also stage
its annual Spring exhibition of orchids and Spring
blooming plants. This exhibition of orchids is the talk
of the trade all over the country. President Albert C.
Burrage, of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, is

: doing much to encourage interest in orchids, not only

, in Xew England but elsewhere.

All interested in exhibiting should write for premium
list, addressing the secretary of the Mass. Hort. Society,
Horticultural Hall, Boston, Mass.. and for the Rose
Schedule to Secretary John Wister, 606 Finance Bldg.,

No growers of Roses should neglect this coming show,
which promises to be of unusual importance. The
Massachusetts Horticultural Society is collaborating
with the American Rose Society and, an unusual list
of classes and valuable premiums are open to all comers.
The complete schedule of Rose premiums appeared in
our issue of Feb. 15, page 314.

j About three weeks ago a certain German applied at
:the New Orleans store of the Metairie Ridge Nursery
Co., Ltd.. for work. After hearing his hard luck story,
the writer promised to give him work until he could
straighten himself out again. He said he had had noth-
ing to eat for three days, and did not have a cent to his
name. He was given work on Monday. Monday even-
ing he wanted some money ; two or three days later he
wanted money again; Saturday he was given $18 with
which he bought a shirt and overalls.

During the next week he borrowed from almost all
the men on the place and several of the women. Satur-
day came and he was paid in full, when he promised
that he would pay all his debts the next week. How-
iever, he never showed up on Monday but was last seen
[beating his way toward Texas and California. If any
of our Texas and California florists meet up with him,
let them be on their guard, because he surely will "hand

The "Water Cure" for Sick Soils

"Drink more water" is a popular form of therapeutic
advice in the minds of many, both physicians and lay-
men. Wc do not recall, however, having heretofore
seen it applied in horticulture. Now, however, Mr.
White of the Maryland Experiment Station, in the in-
teresting letter appearing elsewhere in this issue, calls
attention to importance of supplying greenliouse soils
with sufiicieiit moisture to keep them in a healthy, crop
producing condition. Of course, there is the best of
logic at the l>asis of his advice which, in the last analy-
sis, urges simply that conditions as regards moisture
be maintained inside the greenhouse as much like those
outdoors as is possible. Nature is hardly uniform in
her application of moisture and of sunshine, at least
over the greater part of the country; consequently
periods of drought alternate with periods of excessive
rainfall and the supersaturation of the soil and occa-
sional spells when conditions approach "normalcy," as
President Harding puts it. Yet, as Mr. White points
out, the occasional drenching of soil is not in itself in-
jurious, but on the other hand may be absolutely bene-
ficial by distributing through the soil salts and other
materials which, concentrated in one stratum, are likely
to retard plant growth.

The importance of Mr. White's last statement must
not be overlooked, namely, that the principles he calls
attention to apply only so long as the soil remains free
of disease organisms. Whenever destructive fungous
or other pests become established, it is necessary to
destroy them, just as it is necessary tp destroy bacteria
that occasionally cause diseases in plant or animal bod-
ies. In other words, judicial control of moisture con-
ditions is a preventive rather than a curative measure.
Of course, too, its effectiveness varies with dififerent
crops and with different locations. Even now we know
little enough about the after effects of crop growth in
connection with the health of the soil and its ability
to produce future crops. Nevertheless, experiments
carried on in Rhode Island have shown up many inter-
esting things and hint at many important principles that
apparently underlie this phase of horticultural work
and that offer rich reward for those who in the future
are able to solve some of their problems.

Water as an Aid in Soil Management

Methods That Have Kept Greenhouse Soil Fertile for
23 Years Without Sterilization

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

Regarding the continued use of greenhouse soils, I
would like to say that we are growing plants on soil
that has been in the greenhouse for 23 years. For many
years the rotation was Chrysanthemums and Sweet Peas.
For the past three years Antirrhinum has been the crop
grown. The manuring has not been heavy ; in fact, com-
mercial fertilizers have been used in the main. The
continued use of stable manures, especially when used
in large amounts and combined with much litter, makes
the soil so light and chaffy that plants cannot grow well
in it. When this is the case, fermentation is excessive.
Also the plants cannot get sufficient water. Most of
our greenhouse plants require liberal feeding, but the
roots must be in soil and not a manure bed.

The main difference between the soils in the green-
house and outside, is in the quantity of water that falls
on them. The heavy rains of two or three inches that
fall on the land outside are as a rule not duplicated in
the greenhouse. The watering is usually sufficient for
the plants' needs but any excess is avoided. We have
found in the work here that a heavy soaking, especially
when the beds are vacant, has a very beneficial effect.
In a rich soil there is quite an accumulation of the
salts that are good for the plants when properly dis-
tributed. If the greenhouse beds are left vacant and
diy, these salts gather at or near the surface and, if the
bed is not subjected to a thorough soaking before any
crops are planted, this condition will prevent proper
root development and the plants will not grow.

We find the Skinner system of irrigation very useful
for soaking these salts back to where they should be.
In handling solid beds, where crop follows crop closely,
as in the case of Sweet Peas following 'Mums, the
plants will make a better start if some fresh soil is
used in which to set the stock or sow the seeds. Soil
is a very complex material and to know only a little
about it one must give it very close study. The phase
of the question discussed above seems to work well as
far as it goes. But when it comes to a. question of
destructive organisms either animal or fungus, then it
is best to sterilize or change soil. Thos. H. White.

Willis E. Hamilton

Willis E. Hamilton, florist, of Belfast, Me., a man
highly esteemed and liked by all, died Thursday morn-
ing, March 10, after a long illness, at his home on
Franklin St. Mr. Hamilton was born in Swanville, in
1857, coming to Belfast when a young man of 23. He is
survived by his widow, who was Miss Mary Hoag, by
one son, Everett Hamilton, and one daughter. He is
also survived by four brothers and two sisters. Funeral
services were held Saturday afternoon from his late
residence, and interment was made in Grove Cemetery.

John F. Hayes

John F. Hayes died at the Westbrook Hospital,
March 11, after a long illness. Mr. Hayes, who was 66
years of age, was a great lover of flowers and for many
years conducted a greenhouse on Rochester St., West-
brook, Me. He leaves a wife and one son, Charles D.
Hayes of Westbrook. The funeral was held Sunday
from tlie late residence, 78 Rochester St., burial taking
place at Woodlawn.

Max Aronson

The market and florist fraternity of Boston and
vicinity were much surprised to hear of the sudden end
of Ma.x Aronson, who died at his residence on Sunday
night, March 13. Mr. Aronson has been in poor health
for a long time, but he was at his post in the Coopera-
tive Flower Market every business day of the past year
and every hour of each day. He was even at work the
day before his death. He was of a quiet and pleasant
disposition, respected and well thought of by his friends
in the market, his customers and the growers for whom
he sold flowers.

Mr. Aronson was born in Russia 43 years ago. He
came to this country 28 years ago and soon engaged in
the selling of flowers. Before coming to the Market
he had, for a number of years, a flower stand at the
Crawford House in ScoIIay square, where he was well
known to many prominent men of his time who patron-
ized him for cut flowers and buttonhole bouquets. Mr.

The Florists' Exchange

A Study in Bulb Values

From Notes on the Bulbous Stocks Seen at the Eighth International (New York) Flower Show
Among the Amateur Classes on the Mezzanine Floor

These invaluable comments on bulbs from a recognized authority in their culture and values,
H. Langeler of New York, should be read and preserved for future reference by all growers, and
particularly those who contend for exhibition honors or who desire their customers to have the

best going.

Hyacinths

These were uniformly excellent. Seldom have I seen
flowers more perfect, foliage more sturdy than at this
show. The men who competed for prizes in this class
are sharpshooters.

The use of very deep Azalea pans justified itself
again this year. There was an entry of an excellent
collection of Hyacinths in shallow pans, the plants were
well grown, but not up to those grown in the deep pans.
In yellow the contest was between the varieties City
OF Haarlem and Yellow Hammer, and the latter lost.
The form and the deeper color of "City" got the points.
The plants also looked taller than those of the compet-
ing variety. It should not be overlooked, however, that
Yellow Hammer is an earlier variety, which at an early
flower show might easily defeat City of Haarlem.

In dark blue the old variety King of the Blues was
matched against Menelik, with the result of "King-
high." The Kings were not only superbly grown but
the form and the color of the flowers is much more
pleasing than that of Menelik.

Perle Brillante, Queen of the Blues and Grand
Maitre stood up before the jury on light blues; the last
named won, although it really is not a light blue. Its
use, however, in the light blue class is justified. The
color and habit of Queen of the Blues is splendid; it is
the "Queen" of the really light blues without a doubt,
but this variety is sometimes subject to decay in the top
of the flower which accounts for its failure to become
a general favorite. There are some growers, however,
who never have this trouble with it, so that it would
seem that it can be avoided by the proper culture. There
are, moreover, many other good light blues, and I would
have liked to see a good contest between Schotel, Czar
Peter, Dr. Lieber, Enchantress and Electra.

The entries for pink or red Hyacinths were La Vic-
ToiRE^ Queen of the Pinks, Moreno and Lady Derby.
First prize went to Lady Derby, second to La Victoire.
The latter is undoubtedly the best all-around red Hya-
cinth, while Lady Derby is the most favored light pink.

The strongest competition in Hyacinths took place
among the white varieties. Here were ITnnocence,
Arentine Arendsen, La Grandesse and Corregio up
against each other. La Grandesse did not win as usual,
it got second honors, with Correggio first. This rather
new variety presents a full flower thickly set with
bells on the top as well as on the sides of the stem, on
the order of the form of La Victoire. It is pure white.
I fully agree with the award, but felt regret at seeing
the old reliable often-tried-and-found-true ITnnocence
and La Grandesse beaten by a newcomer. Perhaps it
was a lucky shot, not soon to be repeated, but this time
they did get beaten.

A contest in the Hyacinth classes is really a simple
affair if one will stick to growing perfect pans of

City of Haarlem La Victoire

King of the Blues Lady Derby

Queen of the Blues La Grandesse

These varieties are unbeatable for show purposes and
the fact has become too well known around New York.
A grower who enters other varieties in competition de-
liberately places himself at a disadvantage, and for this
reason the schedules should either be changed in the
competitions on these specific varieties, or extra points
should be awarded to the entries of varieties different
from the above. By this inducement a broader range
of varieties would be invited to compete and the Hya-
cinth exhibits would become really more interesting and
highly instructive. For the last few years we have
witnessed a virtual deadlock in this class.

Early Tulips

The few entries were confined to sets of six varieties.
Notable among these were a grand butter yellow, Ris-
ing Sun, which easily surpassed any other yellow. It
is a sport of Duchesse de Parma, of elegant form,
sturdy plant and looked larger than its parent. The
flowers stood the show room atmosphere admirably
well. Another conspicuous variety was Ibis, a large
well formed carmine rose with light pink edge. It was
most beautiful when it was in its prime, but passed off
in a rather dull w'ine red toward the end of the show
week. The best white w'as White Beiauty, a variation
of Pink Beauty, same sturdy plant and large solid
flowers. This variety is, however, scarce and beyond
the purse of commercial exploiters. Pink Beauty was

also present, but had lost its characteristic white fields
on the petals; these had turned almost completely to
cherry rose due to the flowers being so far advanced
already when placed upon the tables.

Two exhibitors each showed a pan of De Wet, the
most brilliant pleasing orange Tulip of the show. One
pan showed a much deeper color than the other, but
both were superb. This variety was found thirty j^ears
ago in a stock of Prince of Austria, has all the good
points of the latter, including the delicious perfume. At
the other side of the mezzanine floor was a bowl of
the same Tulips grown in water. The public taste is
running more and more toward yellow, orange, brown
and bronze, and this variety certainly drew much atten-
tion.

A pan of Brilliant Star was a little too far gone to
do justice to its merits. It is a handsome very early
scarlet, with a yellow base starred black. It does not
keep as well as Vermilion Brilliant, but is two weeks
earlier, which is a great advantage.

A pan of Enchantress was also too far advanced to
show its true beauty and I have some doubt as to its
having been true to name. However, it was passing off
when I saw it and its farewell colors may have deceived
me. In its prime it is a large salmon red with broad
creamy white border, the inside petals much brighter
and showing a trace of yellow toward the edges, an
uncommonly attractive Tulip for pans or for outdoors.
It is rather dwarf outdoors.

The pans of La Reine Maximus, Prosperity and
White Hawk in this exhibit showed traces of "green-
tipped." There was a splendid pan of Couleur de Car-
dinal, that old American favorite, never defeated as a
late forcing variety. Easter is very late next year, when
it will once more prove its desirability. A pan of
Fred ]\Ioore had been forced so that its predominant
color was yellow instead of tei'ra cotta, the flowers,
however, were large and rested on long good stems.

May -Flowering Tulips

The collection of 13 varieties which gained the first
prize was in excellent form and entitled to its honor on
a quality basis, but a serious disqualifying point had
probably been overlooked, namely, that one variety
had been entered under two different names. This
caused considerable confusion to critical visitors who
could not understand that the variety William Cope-
land could be as large as and was so similar to the
new variety called Venus. As a matter of fact, both
pans were "Venus." It showed the same color as Cope-
land before the latter is hardened off, a very soft rosy

lavender. The flowers of Venus average twice as large
as Copeland, however, altogether it is an exquisite new

Darwin, but high priced.

In the winning set I also saw La Fiancee, a large
deep rose with silvery pink edges to the petals; Duchess
OF HoHENBERG, a long oval flower, dull slaty mauve,
the color tending toward greyish lilac later on. Very
fine. Mrs. Moon. The only Cottage Tulip in this col-
lection, all the others being Darwins. Very fine golden ■
yellow ; pointed petals, strong stems. Looks like an
excellent late yellow cut flower available at a reasonable
price. La Tulipe Noire. Glittering dark maroon, ex-
quisitely grown, large flower. Prince of the Nether-
lands. Very fine cerise scarlet with light rose edges,
tall, superb form, large flower. Sieraad Van Flora.
A now well-known rose forcing variety, fine color and
strong stem. Jubilee. Bright bluish purple, large
flower, tall; seen from a certain angle with the light
falling through the petals, this was the most pleasing
of all the blue purple colored Tulips. A majestic va-
riety in every way, Louise de la Valliere. An evenly
colored luminous rosy pink with blue and white base.
Lasted very well during the show week, petals very
firm, a strong plant apparently. William ^Pitt. Deep
scarlet with purple blue bloom, white and blue base, a
little dwarfer than the other varieties and, therefore,
probably better suited for pans. Excellent forcer, of
first class keeping quality.

In other sets I noticed a particularly fine pan of Dar-
win Eclipse, rich blood red, full flower of great form
and size, a true show variety. Psyche. Soft rose,
inside silvery rose, long oval flowers, which swayed a
little on the stems. The color is exquisite, but stems
possibly a little too weak for strong forcing, also too
tall for pans. Pride of Haarlem. The well-known
American Beauty rose color, one of the oldest varie-
ties, still the best in this color for every purpose. There
\\'2LS a vase of cut flowers of this variety- which was so
good to look at that I have no terms to express my
impressions sufficiently to do it justice. Centexaiee
Deep rose flushed scarlet, with lighter edge, perfectly
shaped large flowers. A good forcer, tall but strong
stemmed, undoubtedly a coming market variety. Prin-
cess Elizabeth, soft lilac rose with paler edges, white
base. Presents a pleasing subdued tone when forced,
which makes it a favorite with lovers of pastel shades.
Forces early and readily, size, stem, keeping and ship-
ping qualities are of the first order. La Tristesse and
Remembr-\nce are both slaty lilacs, ver>' nice outside
perhaps, but indoor culture takes whatever little life
there was in the color, out of it, and the effect is not
agreeable to the e3^e. Mauve Clair, a sweet variety
outdoors, loses too much of its lilac mauve color when
grown under glass, the lavender edges becoming a
broad band of greyish white. It would perhaps have
shown up much better if hardened off thoroughly.
Raphael. As it stood there it looked like a dull ma-
genta, but when a ray of light lit up the petals a laugh-
ing claret sparkled in the flower. Sturdy stem, big
flower, looking very attractive and unusual. Aphrodite.
The color, a fine salmon rose, was there, but the flowers
were undersized, probably the pan had been hurried too
much. It is really one of the largest Darwins, magnifi-
cent in its size, form and color. It is certain to come
to our notice at other shows in its true regal state.

At the Eighth International (New York) Flower Show

W. Atlee Burpee & Co.'b (Philadelphia. Pa.) first prize winning display of Swpet Peas. One of the great features of the exhibit
was the central mass of beautiful salmon colored Mrs. George Kerr. No lees than five novelties on this stand gained Certificates

of Merit.

March 26, 1921.

Faust. (ilisicnniK dark inirplc, ooiidensed to almost
black, dark blue base, larKu line llowcr, tall and very
strong. Altlioiinh this is not an "accepted" color for
decorative purposes, I imagine a few of these flowers in
a tall vase would create a mild sensation.

Breeder Tumps Dom Pedro. The flowers were
entirely undersized, the color so pale that many visitors
doubted ils genuineness. Tlic true color is cofTce brown
with faint edging of lighter brown ; a large flower,
delicately perfumed. One of the very finest breeders
in this color.

Breeder Pri.nce Albert. Too far advanced it was,
but the coloring of golden brown with yellow undertone
was enchanting. The wide open flowers showed a green
ba.<e which made the efl'cct all the prettier. In its prime
the flow'er petals are overlaid with a flush of purple
which disappears as the flower ages.

In cut flowers of Tulips I saw a vase of splendidly
grown Ariadne, a brilliant crimson scarlet Darwin of
great substance, also a tine vase of Centenaire, de-
scribed above. A vase of mi.xed Mav Flowering Tu-
lips held exquisite blooms of Darwin City of H.\arlem,
DucHE.ss OK HoHENBERu, Louis DE LA Valliere, May
Flowering Tulips Mrs. Moo.n, Breeder C.\rdin.-\l Man-
N-ixG. Bacchus and others.

Narcissus

The competition in this class was of a high order,
although running too much toward the huge trumpet
varieties. As in the Hyacinth class the battle has be-
come one-sided. One has but to show perfectly grown
deep pans of King Alfred, Van Waveren's Giant,
OL^■M^!A. Robert Stoenham, Weardale Perfection
and Duke of Bedford to carry away the honors with
pcriect ease. The contestant who enters small or me-
duim cup varieties places himself at a disadvantage.
Also in this class the schedule should be altered, so that
the Leedsii, Incomparabilis, Barrii and Poeticus varie-
ties are invited or included in the competition. Much
more delicate colorings obtain in these classes, more
skill IS required to show them to perfection. The glori-
ous Poeticus Cassandra was the only advanced Ttpre-
sentative of these groups, and truly glorious it was with
Its broad pure white overlapping perianth surrounding
a bright yellow cup with conspicuous edging of clear
terra cotta. This pan was an honor to its grower.
In the trumpets I saw in the order of their size :
Empress. Well-known bicolor.
Vanill-\. Creamy white perianth, yellow trumpet

vanilla perfume.
Spring Glorv. Clean cut looking bicolor, long petals,

with rather long light yellow trumpet.
Glory of Sassenheim. An enlarged form of Vic-
toria, with the serious defect that several petals
bend inward toward the trumpet, creating the im-
pression of folding up or passing over, otherwise
a fine flower.
Weardale Perfection. Fine faintly creamy white
perianth, bold pale yellow trumpet, lasting flower
of exquisite form.
Duke of Bedford. Pure white perianth, very large
broad trumpet of a pleasing pale sulphur vellow;
a truly attractive distinguished variety.
Olympia Bold yellow trumpet, perianth a little paler,
much the same color as Emperor, but twice its size-
trumpet heavily frilled at the brim.
Herbert Smith. Large straight yellow trumpet, a
little paler toward the base, straight perianth of
light yellows

^^V^i^T"^- , '^^^ aristocrat of the golden yellow
JJattodils, color every bit as good as Golden Spur
It not better, and such perfect proportions of peri-
anth to trumpet. The brim of the trumpet bends
outward gracefully and is elegantly frilled. Alto-
gether a King, appropriately named after Alfred
the Great.

Van Wavesen's Giant. Not a true bicolor, but
classed as such on account of its pale primrose
perianth, almost white when forced; bright yellow
trumpet curved and imbricated at the brim. Vigor-
ous grower and good forcing variety, very lono-
stem.

Treasure. A magnificent large yellow trumpet, wide
open at the mouth, sulphur yellow perianth, a huge
artistic looking flower although its appearance
would be much improved had the perianth been one-
half mch longer. While the trumpet is bigger and
of the same color as King Alfred, yet a comparison
of all points of the two varieties must favor King
Alfred decidedly.

Robert Sydenham. An improved form of Van
Waverens Giant from which it is a seedling
Larger and more perfect perianth. The largest
trumpet variety entered at this show.

pans or deep boxes and more space around the plants,
and provide more labor than the smaller trumpet va-
rieties like Golden Spur, Emperor and Victoria, and they
are consequently more expensive to handle as well as
in purchase.

The Lilium giganteum exhibits were perfect, giving
the judges a hard task. There was a fine pan of Lilium
UUDELLUM. a dwarf small-flowered pink Lily from
Japan, very pretty and interesting.

There was a wonderful vase of Anemones St. Bricid
and De Cae.x, which I looked upon as a gracious fare-
well message from this almost unobtainable class of
Inillis. These are among the most gorgeous flowers ex-
cluded by Quarantine :;T,

a little late, the colored varieties showed too few and
too pale tones.

"Nympbaea odorata"

Hail, fairy of the woodland pool.

So restful in thy sweet repose;
Carefree, so placid, calm and cool.

Outranking every flower that grows I

In mud and silt of river bed

Thy roots and creeping rhizomes grow.
Leaf pad and flower stems hang o'er head.

Thy matchless, pure white flowers to show,

We cannot trace thy pedigree.

Nor tell whenst thou wert chosen queen.
When up thou rose with dignity

On floating throne, calm and serene.

By gentle streams, close to the shore
A hush is felt beneath thy spell.

Afloat, yet wielding helm nor oar,
The secret of thy art, pray teU.

Humble of birth. With charms most rare
Making thee subject for renown,

There's none that can with thee compare.
In Flora's realm, to wear the crown.

In gold-filled chahcc, insects (ind

And sip sweet nectar at thy breast.

Thy fragrant odor caught by wind
Is borne afar at thy behest.

Emblem of peace and all things pure.

Yet somewhat of a mystery;
An influence that shall endure

Unbroken lines of harmony.

What Sterile Packing Really Is

On page 673 of the March 19 issue appeared an an-
nouncement from the F. H. B. as to the present interpre-
tation of the requirements as to the packing of plants
for importation under permit. The Board, in order to
prevent misunderstandings has now issued a further
statement defining the materials that may be used in
packing admitted bulbs, so as to come within the rulings
of the Board. The statement, which is referred to as
HB— 132, is as follows :

Amendment No. 1 to Quarantine No. 37 provides that
the requirement as to freedom from sand, soil, or earth
shall not apply to sand, soil, or earth used for packing
the articles enurnerated in item No. 1 of Regulation 3
vyhen such sand, soil, or earth has been previously
sterilized in accordance with methods prescribed by the
Federal Horticultural Board under the supervision of an
authorized inspector of the country of origin, such
sterilization to be certified to by the dulv authorized
nspector of such country of origin. With respect to
this amendment, the Board has authorized the use of
certain materials as fulfilling the requirement of sterili-
zation, such materia s, however, to be subject to cer-
tihca ion as to compliance with the required conditions,
by the duly authorized inspector of the country of
origin 1 he following substitutes for sterilized soil
nave been authorized :

(1) Subsoil from Japan.— The authorization of the
use of subsoil from Japan was based on the results of
an investigation made by the Bureau of Plant Industry
of this Department, which indicated- that unsterilized
subsoil contains less organisms than loam or top soil
even after the latter has been submitted to the standard
processes of sterilization. The conditions of the use of
such soil are indicated in the paragraphs quoted below
which were submitted for approval by Dr. S. I. Kuwana^
director of the imperial plant quarantine station, Yoko^
hama, Japan: ' ■'"'^"^

All soil used in packing bulbs to be shipped to the
United States to be collected and handled under the
supervision of the director of the imperial plant quar-
antine station at Yokohama, Japan.

■The director of the imperial plant quarantine station
will certify that the soil used in packing is subsoil taken
from two to three feet below the surface; that it has
been sieved, sifted, dried, and stored so as to prevent
contamination by insects and diseases, and that no dan-
gerous insects or diseases are known to occur in the
locality where the soil is secured.

Ci) Dune Sand from Holland.— On representations
made by Mr. N. Van Pocteren, chief of the plivto-
pathological service of Holland, the Board has author-
ized the use, when properly certified, of dune sand taken
from a depth of five feet or more from the surface.

(3) Coral Sand fko-m Bersiuda.— Similar arrange-
ments have been made for the use of unsterilized coral
sand uncontammated with surface soil for use in pack-
ing bulbs shipped from the Bermuda Islands when prop-
erly certified by the director of agriculture of those
islands.

(4) Ground Peat.— The use of ground peat for plant
packing has been authorized by the Board. Peat as
commercially mined can be considered as substantially
sterile with respect to infestation with plant diseases or
other plant pests. For packing and greenhouse use it is
dried, ground up, and powdered, and in this condition
can undoubtedly safely be used as packing for bulbs
and Its use in such condition for this purpose has been,
therefore, authorized. Q L. Marlatt

This potentate, as has ever been alleged, keeps a vast

work being to stir up trouble in all parts of the world

may not properly be accused of discrimination they show
a strong partiality toward printing offices and in our

The Florists' Exchange

Eighth International Flower Show

(Continued from page 721)
specimens, although veterans, were in the pink of con-
dition. Henrj' A. Dreer showed lots of smaller exam-
ples, too.

In softening down the harsh outlines of the building
through the use of archways of Roses and festoons of
greenery the committee accomplished really good work.

Rock gardens were not classable as a great feature,
but the placing of the rock boulders and the planting
in the Julius Roehrs's Co. Idle Hour garden was more
in keeping with Nature than some other efforts I have
seen from time to time.

The Bobbink & Atkins rock garden and pool was
to this writer's thinking more interesting in the way of
its furnishing than its actual layout. This was one of
B. & A.'s special exhibits — they had them all over the
place — and not a few people stopped to admire Phlox
ovata, Iris pumila. Daphne cneorum, Trillium grandi-
florum, Iberis sempervirens, etc. The small specimens
of Kalmia latifolia. Erica carnea, and Cotoneaster hori-
Eontalis, etc., all served to give effect In nature, how-
ever, a rock bound pool usually gives evidence of how
the water enters and passes out. Sure, the evidence
was here, but not as a part of the garden. I just stood
by for a bit and watched how many people kicked that
evidence as they meandered along tile pathway.

The Edward Gillett Hardy Flower Farm of South-
wich, Mass., had something in the nature of a rock
mound, too, but the exhibit was really more of a dis-
play of hardy native plants. During the first day,
people deficient in knowledge, never stopped to look at
this big exhibit because it seemed dull. A sign to the
effect that it was an exhibit of native plants, however,
woke folks up with a bang and, for the rest of the week,
E. Gillett, Jr. and Miss K. Fellows had plentj' to do
answering questions. Herbert Durand was on hand at
times and he waxed sarcastic about people who would
fain have seen an edging of Geraniums around the
exhibit. Quite a host of native plants were visible but
as few had been specially prepared for the show, flow-
ers were not numerous. On the next occasion, Mr.
Durand intends to show us just how well native plants
will respond to gentle forcing.

Acacia Sydney, a hybrid from A. pubescens, shown
by Louis Dupuy, was sufficiently distinct to attract even
the attention of the elderly ladies. It has deeper colored
and larger flowers; a veritable golden shower. If I
had been willing, those old ladies would have kept me
answering questions all the week. For some reason the
dear old souls assume that anyone who_ is not gasping
with astonishment at the sight of an exhibit must neces-
sarily be an expert, and as it takes something in the
nature of an earthquake to cause my countenance to
display interest, due perhaps to Zeppelin raid* and other
things, I was constantly besieged.

Speaking of ladies, it was amusing to observe how
diligently some of them tried to avoid handing over the
nimble dollar. One appeared quite astonished because
her Rose Society ticket was not an open sesame. An-
other, who had traveled from Washington, implored me
to tell her how she could reach the booth of the Garden
Clubs of America, so that she could get her ticket at
half price, she being a member of the organization.

Lord & Bumham's assistant doubtiess had all his
work cut out answering questions about the plants in
their greenhouse exhibit.

Hitchings & Co. ran quite an art gallery in their
greenhouse and, if the would-be greenhouse builder
couldn't get suited from that array of layouts, there is
no hopes for him this side of the Styx.

A. L. Miller's group of Philadelphus Virginalie was
one of the features during the first two or three days,
but the late comers also had a chance to see it, for on
Saturday one or two fresh plants were introduced.
While not strictly new, it was so strikingly good that
few recognized it I did not, for one, and I have seen a
few of Lemoine's varieties from time to time.

Mr. Miller's exhibit on the upper floor was one of
the features of the show. None of the plants were in
the class of exhibition lines only; everything shown is
handled for commercial purposes only. White Wis-
tarias, standard trained Genistas, Begonias in variety,
Chorizemas, Deutzias, Tausendschoen Roses, Lilacs,
Coleus, Acacias, Primulas, and Andromeda floribunda
were among the many lines shown, the whole being
staged in a pleasing and effective manner. The creeper
clad archway in the center gave the impression of a
garden layout The exhibit covered some 60ft.xlOft.,
and well deserved the gold medal accorded it

Muller-Sealey Co. got a lot of notoriety through their
vase of Belgian grown Cymbidium Pauwelsi, but they
had quite a restful looking booth in addition.^ A con-
siderable number of concerns made their visitors feel
comfortable by providing cosy armchairs, among them
John Scheepers, Inc., and Stumpp & WaJter Co. The
latter concern had by no means the least important bulb
display. Practically everything in the Spring bulb line
wsis on view.

F. R. Pierson's special booth was one of the tid-bits.
The ferns and fancy diinaware were a permanent fea-
ture but the Roses and Carnations were constantly re-
newed. The new La France like Rose, Florence Spen-
dipp, lacked nothing in size and seems to be a variety
that is better fully open than in the bud.

Chas Totty Co.'s assistants, including Fred Piper,
were busj^ ever\- day putting up fresh flowers and, for
etifective staging, no cut flower exhibit had anything on
this display. All the novelty Roses were on view, while
Laddie and Belle Washburn among the Carnations were
a strong feature.

Everyone running a trade stand, reported an imusual
amount of business. At the Burpee booth, seeing how
hard pressed were Geo. W. Kerr and his helpers, both
David Burpee and W. .\tlee, Jr., fell to and handed out
dollar bo-xes of Sweet Pea seed as if they had been at
it all their lives. Three shipments of seed were insuffi-
cient to meet the demand, and it is safe to say that W.
Atlee Burpee & Co. were highly pleased with the New
York show as a business booster. In fact, D. B., who
is rapidly developing the build of his famous father,
told this w-riter that he was more than surprised. The
exhibits of this firm were first-class.

Maurice Fuld, Inc., and R. & J. Farquhar & Co.,
who were also sho\\'ing special lines of seed, discovered
that a Spring show is the place to sell seeds ; particu-
larly novelties. This Boston house were also going
strong with Lilium regale.

W. C. Duckham, worthy son of his father, is evidently
gifted with strong business instinct. Mere commercial
growing of cut bloom is not enough for him, so he goes
in for retailing strong hardy Rose bushes such as the
amateur loves to plant. The stock he handles does one
season under glass and is then given a turn in the field.
The dormant plants he has to offer are just the thing
and evidently many people thought so, too, for he was
making big sales.

Bobbink & Atkins were here, there and everywhere,
but I must put in a word for the group of hardy Japa-
nese .\zaleas. The little A. ros^flora was one of many
and if A. indica becomes obsolete because of F. H. B.
rulings, the easy doing Japs will help to fill the gap. The
same firm showed a grand lot of A. Hexe as a setoff
to their climbing Rose display.

Daniel Guggenheim (T. A. Leyden, gdr.). Port Wash-
ington, L. I., put up an exhibit of purple 'Tulips, Daffo-
dils. Primula malacoides. Cinerarias, etc., in garden form
with mossy paths. It looked a trifle formal and un-
natural but. when fully lighted up, gee, it was some dis-
play, let me say! More than one truckload of plants
went into this exhibit, I am thinking.

Roman J. Irwin wasn't always on the spot but his
stand was, and I guess the way the public fussed over
those little plants of his made him consider the question
of starting a retail depot near one of the big railroad
depots. Apart from small stock, some good examples
of Spirceas were noted. What interested me particu-
larly w^as a well fruited Cleveland Cherry. Now, was
that plant three months late or nine months too early?

I passed A. N. Pierson's comer Rose display many

times, but never once was it easy to get near. It was
besieged all the time, for every Rose on view was
labeled as a garden varietj-. Backed by the ramblers
Newport Fair}-, Dorothy Perkins, Peerless, Tausend-
schoen and Paul's Scarlet Climber, were vases of Co-
lumbia, ilme. Collette Martinet Double White Kil-
larney, Columbia, Crusader, Evel^Ti, Mrs. Aaron Ward,
etc., all being renewed from day to day.

The vegetable exhibit from the gardens of Mrs. C. M.
Schwab interested me not a little more so when I found
the grower was brother to the well-known Andrew Ire-
land who, in the past 20 years or so, has been a strong
factor in the production of Sweet Pea novelties in
England and who, when in the services of the famous
Scotch house of Dobbie & Co., used to stagger everj'-
one with his wonderful exhibits of special flowers and
vegetables. The man "fra" Lorretto, Pa., hasn't lost
his Scotch accent, but he will have to work a bit longer
before he surpasses Andrew as a grower and stager
of exhibition produce.

Begonias were not numerous at the show, but Mrs.
Paul iloore. Convent, N. J., staged some beautifully
grown plants of Erfordii varieties. Dicentra specta-
bilis from the same exhibitor was also good. Much
more of this latter plant might be grown for early
bloom.

Geraniums were not a prominent feature; indeed, the
only example that caught my eye was the fine standard
shown by Mrs. F. E. Lewis, Ridgefield, Conn. A better
flowered Poitevine could not be desired, indeed the en-
tire head was a mass of pink.

At times, a policeman vras needed outside Max
Schling's shop. It is to be hoped the worthy Max
does not entice a similar crowd up in Fifth ave. — there
might be trouble.

Wm. Hunt & Co. were doing big business with Kevitfs
new California Strawberry. If the preserved plant with
its mass of fruit did not look appetizing, the color plate
did, and I imagine it was necessary to renew the stock
of catalogs frequently. It is to be hoped that the
people so busily engaged in gathering catalogs were not
just catalog fiends.

The waterfan garden sprinkler, shown by C. AUender,
surely did attract, and while the meter was doubtless
ticking merrily, it is a certainty that this exhibit meant
business for those who handle this novel "fitment."
The idea is simple and its work perfect, so much so
that if funds will allow, I'll have one myself. Nothing
gets my goat more than holding a hose.

Quite recently a French writer was holding New
York people up as models, inasmuch that they never
question the why or w-herefore of an authoritative
order. He ought to have seen the people ignoring the
exit notice on the little greenhouse which finished off
the Julius Roehrs Co. garden. With a 3ft. pathway, it
was some game for an obstreperous or unthinking per-
son to try and go against the tide. So it was for the
poor photographer who wanted to get a picture of an
exhibit. Likely as not, if one asked an old lady to keep
moving she would stand in front of the camera and ask
all the whys imaginable.

I tried liarj lo liiul lliat IjIir' Mrs. Harding Sweet Pea
but the only tiling in the Sweet Pea line bearing that
name, was the pink bicolor shown by Gurpec.

The lay press writers certainly can pnll off some
"stuff." 1 own to a little ability at pen pn.shing, my-
self, but the N. Y. I'osI writer left me standing still.

However, T. A. Havemeyer, chairman of the Flower
Show Committee, heartily thanked and congratulated
The Exchange for its report of last week.

Mr. Markle, of Markle & Co., Chatham N. J., looked
like a professor, behaved like a father, and talked like
a Dutch uncle to the ladies old and young, all "school
girls" to him who passed his stand. When it comes to
interesting ladies in flowers, hand it over to Markle.

The adjustable plant holder shown by the McCallum
Co. is certainly all that is claimed for it. It is so strong,
that I shall not be surprised if some troupe of balancing
artists start using it for pedestal purposes.

One of the features on Tuesday was the photographic
posing in the Scheepers garden. Two damsels, dressed
in a style that w^ould have sent Fifth ave. into hysterics,
posed gracefully and smilingly to order. The exhibi-
tion was appreciated by every one, and I wouldn't have
objected if they had invited me to take a seat beside
them.

Like the Geranium, the Fuchsia family was repre-
sented by only one plant. It was a good example of
standard training.

Thorbum & Co., were the only trade people to show
vegetables, but they had a lot of other things as well.

.■Vndrew Wilson of Springfield, N. J., skilled in the
art of "squirtology" was busy at times showing people
how to do it.

Small child passing the L. & B. boiler exhibit.— "Oh,
Daddy ; look at the engine without wheels !"

Rumor has it that Fred Lautenschlager was nearly
worried to death by inquirers who thought The Gil-
more Tube Scraper was a funnel, a telephone mouth-
piece or a deaf man's ear trumpet.

Tractor mowing_ machines are apparently now the
vogue, for a considerable number were on view. If
the miniatures will stand up to the work I can imagine
the day of the push mower is over, even in gardens of
modest dimensions. I have done my share at mower
pushing and know its delights. Ask Charlie Totty!

The Henshaw Floral Co., was featuring the smallest
flowers in the show. True, they were made of metal,
but they were wonderfully good and would just about
fit my watch chain if I were fortunate enough to have
one. The shiny satin finish chinaware on this stand, too,
was interesting.

Dawson's Weegee birds were looking extremely perky.
One of them was so fresh that its owner found it one
morning perched on the ashcan in the yard next door.

Harry Abrahamson held up many growers during the
week, but as his gun was only loaded with Evertite
glazing cement no one sought the aid of the police.

If a florist gave as much time to setting up a table
as did some of the competitors, the charges would be
sky high.

While the bird bath displays were both pleasing^ and
novel, I could not but wonder whether the birds would
suspect a trap around such elaborate settings. [They
surely would.]

Several times I was half scared by that model collie
dog outside the Hodgson portable house. It was there
guarding the chickens that were to be.
_ The Cymbidium is surely one of the coming commer-
cial orchids. A considerable number of varieties were
on view, among them Sybil, pink and cream ; Sybil alba,
white; Alexandra, deep pink; and President Wilson,
pink and buflt. This latter won a silver medal.

J. T. Colley, of Summit, N. J., as might be expected
from a Belgian, was looking for Azaleas such as he
is familiar with but was disappointed. He feels sure,
however, that Azaleas can be grown in New Jersey
as well as in Europe, but when the F. H. B. told him
there as ample stock in the country for propagative
purposes, his delight was unbounded.

Few people worked harder on display making than
Mr. Osternei of Bobbink & Atkins. He surely had his
hands full looking after those stacks of plants.

Did any grower of importance within a hundred miles
or so of New York miss the show? It scarcely seems
possible. Being modest, many of them refrained from
making themselves known, but in addition to those
already mentioned, we caught sight of H. Bickley, Wal-
hngford, Pa.; while from New Jersey, Thos. Phipps,
Chatham; L. B. Coddington, Murray Hill; J. Schwick-
ert, Irvington; W. A. Manda, South Orange; L. A. and
Mrs. Noe, Madison, and Frank L. Moore, Chatham,
^ were noted.

Floragrams

Boston started it. That city recently claimed a record
number of local men holding presidential offices. "Jay
Em came back in these columns last week claiming
honors galore for Chicago. New York now says that
whde all these things are, undoubtedly, true, it looks as
if all the "big men" knew what "village" to visit in the

linal showdown, as evidenced when Eugene Daille-
douze's car, journeying out to Tracndly & Schenck's
greenhouses, Rowaytun, Conn., during the International
b'lower Show last week, contained no less than five cx-
.S. A. F. and O. II. presidents in the persons uf Wm. F.
Gudc, Philip Breilnieyer, J. F. Ammann, George Asmus
and h'rank Traendly. Or, is it that they deem it best
to travel in "mass formation" when visiting the great-
est of American cities?

J. F. Ammann passed this one along at the Florists
Club Banquet :

Judge: "What's your name?"

Negro up on charge: "Joshua, your Honor."

Judge (feeling in good humor): "Not the Joshua
that made the sun stand still?"

Negro : "No, your Honor. I'se Joshua that made the
moon shine."

Wm. F. Gude substantiated his endorsement that the
flovyer show of last week was the greatest ever held by
telling those present at the local club banquet that two
of his family had returned to Washington with such
glowing accounts of the event that three more Gudes
would be leaving Washington that night for New York.

Our good iriend Uenjaniin Hammond, writes from
up the Hudson that, in his opinion, "The splendor of the
displays on the main floor (iii the Flower Show) was
like unto that of the Garden of Eden." On behalf of
the trade and the show management we thank you, Mr.
Hanimond, but we must confess that we never before
realized how far your travels have taken you and how
much yuu have seen.

There are all kinds of criticisms; also all kinds of
commendation. One visitor to the flower show expressed
mild regret that it was such an all-together sumptuous,
magnificent and successful event. Upon being asked
why, he replied that with such a standard established
this year it would be almost physically impossible to
create a finer show next year; and that in consequence
many people who simply live to see continuous im-
provement from season to season would then think back
to 1931 — and be disappointed 1

On Saturday several of the movie stars sold flowers
on the main floor. The profits from the Tea Garden,
which went to the Social Service Department of Belle-
vue Hospital, were estimated as close to $5000.

Among the new implements a new pruning shears was
one of several desirable tools shown. It is claimed for
it as being the only combined pruner and fruit gatherer
on the market, operating precisely the same way as ordi-
nary pruners. Its two recommendations are that it
grips the object to be cut automatically above the cut,
so that while the cut section drops ofl, the branch or
whatever is being pruned remains held by the shears.
Another feature is that with these shears it is abso-
lutely impossible for the operator to jam the fleshy part
of his hand.

General John J. Pershing was a visitor at the Flower
Show at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, March 19. After
visiting the tea room he was escorted over the floors
by members of the Flower Show Committee : Arthur
Herrington, F. R. Pierson, Joseph Manda. and John
Scheepers with John H. Pepper acting as "secret serv-
ice agent." The latter reports that the General was
quite chummy and got to calling him "Pep," which was
just as it should be as the first three letters of each
gentleman's name runs that way — Pep-Per.

Joseph Manda showed the general the "General Persh-
ing Cattleya," which made him remark that possibly
next year it might be named for some other person.
Mr. Manda informed the general, however, that it was
named for him while he was in France and that it would
always bear that name.

Some folks may have attended the International
Flower Show merely out of curiosity, but the great
mass of visitors were not only well aware of what they
wanted to see and learn but also were lynx-eyed in their
observational powers and critical attitude. To illus-
trate: The ladies in charge of the City Gardens Club
exhibit were rather nonplussed when a party, after
carefully scrutinizing the display contrasting unim-
proved and "gardenized" backyards, remarked that the
unattractive yard was hardly true to life in that the
empty tin cans scattered about bore labels of extremely
high-grade, expensive food products, such as no occu-
pants of a typical tenament would possibly be in the
habit of using! Mrs. Metcalfe apologetically explained
that the significance of this detail had entirely slipped
her mind and that in planning for the exhibit she had
simply enlisted the aid of the janitor of her apartment
house in gathering a collection of household rubbish.

-An exhibit of exceptional value was that staged by
Benjamin T. Fairchild of New York and Connecticut.
Tt was one of the very smallest exhibits of the show
so far as size went but, per contra, one of the most
interesting. The intention was to depict all the wild
flowers which grow or remain green throughout the
Winter in the State of Connecticut, and was all com-
prised within a space of approximately :;0in.x3ft. This
wild garden was in the making for six months and
was awarded a silver medal. It was studied by hun-
dreds of interested examiners, the intention being to
show people how their walks in the woods in Winter
may be quite as interesting as in the warmer seasons.
The garden was arranged with all the features of a
Winter landscape ; rocky hills and slopes, ponds with
natural bridges, and each plant growing in its accus-
tomer habitat.

Every high school throughout the country should have
one of these gardens in order that the pupils may be-
come familiar with Winter plant life in their State.
We hope, later, to give a more detailed account of this
subj ect.

LD KING COAL
has met a mighty
rival. Since the pos-

Y-^^

sibilities and advantages of
fuel oil have been discov-
ered and appreciated this
new heating agent is gain-
ing ground every day and
the control of existing oil
resources is one of the
most important questions

in international politics. When it is considered
that at the present time all warships and pas-
senger and freight steamers are being supplied
with oil burning apparatus and that, in cities
and towns, fuel oil is also replacing coal wher-
ever steam generation is contemplated, either
for power or heating purposes, we may feel as-
sured that strong material advantages must go
with fuel oil. The largest commercial, manufac-
turing, public and private institutions in many
States are now depending on fuel oil for heat
and power and contracts for new installations are
increasing every day. The application of oil
for fuel is away beyond its experimental stage.
The construction of oil equipment for the several
different systems existing is perfect and abso-
lutely reliable in all its details.

Gains New Converts Wherever Introduced

In every community where fuel oil has been
introduced its use is gaining new converts. Al-
though the use of fuel oil is a quite recent innovation, the
city of Providence (R.I.) has over two hundred iiistalla-
tions, taking in the largest manufacturing and public con-
cerns, beside a great number of business blocks, apart-
ment houses and private dwellings. A careful canvass by
the writer of this article has established the fact that not
one user experienced any difficulty, either in the manage-
ment of the apparatus or in obtaining a supply of the
oil. Every consumer was highly gratified and de-
clared that the substantial saving in fuel, the cleanli-
ness in using it, the absence of dust and smoke, etc.,
would never let him think of going back to coal. The
same reports were obtained in Boston, where there are
also about two hundred installations, and in the sur-
rounding towns and cities.

Some of Its Advantages

It was a pleasing and impressive experience for
the writer to step from one boiler room to another
and find the same identical conditions everywhere. In
some of these boiler rooms there were as many as
.eight to ten boilers of the largest size, with not more
than one, or at the most, two men in attendance. Not a
sign of coal, or dust, or ashes ; no shovels, pokers, wheel-
barrows or other things lying around. No fire door
ever opened and, in most places, the draft and oil sup-
ply controlled automatically. In business or apartment
houses, for instance, where the elevators are run by
steam, the load on the boiler varies constantly. Auto-
matic regulation in this case instantly increases or re-
duces the supply of fuel in proportion to the amount of
power used. In the cities the increasing absence of
coal carts and coal trucks is becoming a matter of
public notice and a pleasant one at that; the lessening
of the smoke evil is also noted. No more do big trucks
back up against the curb, making a dirty mess of the
whole neighborhood and holding up the traffic. In
their stead comes the narrow oil truck. It slides aloiig
the curb, close to it and, without noise or dust, a big
pipe runs the oil through an opening in the sidewalk
in less than no time.
Practical Demonstration of its Value to the Grower

Now all this is well and good, but what has it to do
with greenhouse heating? The writer has for almost
two years taken a lively interest in the question of heat-
ing greenhouse boilers with oil and he has visited a num-
ber of greenhouse establishments where the new way
of heating is in use. One of these establishments is the
immense Budlong Rose Co.'s place at Providence. This
firm is using fuel oil for the third season. The in-
stallation is of the high pressure steam atomizer type,
in which steam under a pressure of fifty pounds enters
the mixing chamber of the oil burner, meeting and mix-
ing with the oil and driving it in a vapor cloud into
the fire chamber where it burns like gas. There are
in the boiler room four horizontal return tubular boil-
ers, each of 150 H. P., two Babcock and Wilcox boil-
ers of 250 H. P. each, and two B. and W. boilers of
350 H. P. each. A total of 1800 horse power. These
boilers are all heated with fuel oil and are automatically
regulated, so that, as soon as any heating pipes in
the greenhouses are turned on or off, the supply of oil is
checked or increased to keep the steam pressure at
the proper mark.

Heating With Oil

In this paper we present the latest conclusions reached

by Gustave Thommen after a painstaking and personal

investigation extending over many months.

Growers outside the delivery systems of the great oil
companies may read the article herewith and be interested
in it, but that is just about as far as they can go — at present
at any rate. Growers so situated that oil supplies are
available have here demonstrated to them most clearly
the fact that of the two — coal and oil — the latter is in every
respect the superior unless coal may be had at a price so
far below oil as to pay for the added cost of handling it,
feeding it into the fires, removing the ashes, and all other
expenses incidental to handling the more bulky material.

THE FLORISTS' EXCHANGE'S representative at Bos-
ton, Gustave Thommen, is entitled to the thanks of the
entire florist grower fraternity for the intensive work he
has performed on its behalf. While much more may be
said on the subject he has now brought his investigations
to a close in that he has adduced the facts in the case.

Mr. Thommen's story deserves most careful reading,
and, if his previous articles have been neglected, these
sliould be read. The first will be found on page 505, issue of
Feb. 28, 1920; the second on page 1343, issue of Dec. 25, 1920.

Oil's Many Superiorities Over Coal

This is one point of importance as against the use
of coal. Under this system of firing the consumption
of fuel is reduced instantly when less steam is needed,
which process, to a great degree, is impossible with
coal. The boilers, as a rule, carry 50 pounds of pres-
sure, but this can be increased or reduced at a moment's
notice, by opening or closing the oil valves. When
steam is no more needed in the houses the oil burners
are stopped, and so is the waste of fuel which goes on
with coal when the fires have to be banked. Again,
when starting up toward evening or during the day,
a moment's work brings a perfect fire and full steam
pressure in the shortest time. The pumping and other
appliances are all in duplicate, thereby guarding against
all accidents. Mr. Budlong informed the writer that
four men are now employed in the boiler room where
formerly, when coal was burned, he employed fourteen.
The storage tank for the oil is built outdoors near the
boiler room. It is built of concrete and has a ca-
pacity of 250,000 gallons. A contract with the oil
company keeps the tank supplied with oil at all
times. Mr. Budlong is a man of few words. When
asked by the writer what he had to say about heating
with oil he said: "I am more than satisfied with ray
heating system; it is cheaper than burning coal; it is
reliable, less trouble and cleaner, and I would never
think of going back to coal."

Other Providence Growers Using Oil

In Providence there are seven other greenhouse
concerns where oil is used. These are of smaller dimen-
sions than Budlong's.

C. W. Patt has one horizontal tubular boiler in which
he burned 700 tons of coal per year. His oil
burning installment, of the air pressure type, com-
plete with tank of 5000 gallons, cost $3750.

At Porter's place, with 100 H. P. boiler, burn-
ing 275 tons of coal, the oil burning equipment (air
pressure) complete with tank of 3000 gallons cost $2800.

At Koppelman's, with 75,000ft. of glass, there are two
125 H. P. boilers which burned 1000 tons of coal
per year. The oil burning system is also of the air
pressure kind and cost $2727, with a tank holding 9530
gallons. Each boiler is provided with two separate
burners, so that the heat and the fuel can be regulated
most economically. From the fireroom record the writer
noted that on Jan. 20, 1920, when the thermometer regis-
tered 4deg. below zero, it took 1156 gallons of oil
during the 24 hours. During the week ending Dec.
31 the average per day was 899 gallons. Mr. Koppel-
man has installed a 2J^ H. P. gasoline engine in the
boiler room. This is to provide against the chance
of the electric wire breaking down during a storm.
The engine is used also for any kind of belt work and
comes in very handy. Mr. Koppelman is extremely
well pleased with his investment and does not wish to be
reminded of coal.

The O'Connor place consists of abotit ten large
houses which are heated by two boilers with air pres-
sure equipment. The curious part of the heating arrange-
ment on this place is that the boilers are situated
quite some distance from the greenhouses. Mr. O'Connor

owns a fine large apart- 1

ment house across theli

street, and a little wayij

down is where the boilers <

are placed and Avhere they^

also heat the apartment <|

house. The steam pipes <

supplying the greenhouses <\

are carried underground «

through a brick tunnel four •

feet wide each way. Mr. i

O'Connor, like all the rest, cannot refrain fronn

praise of the oil burning proposition. All of the (|

above mentioned men have had at least from*

one year to three years' experience with oil, <

and not one has experienced the least trouble;

of one thing each man is sure, and this is

that none would go back to coal. Another

grower whom the writer visited in Arlington, «

and who uses three large boilers, reiterates the ((

same story.

Two Leading Questions Answered

Fuel oil and its use for greenhouse heat- 1
ing is something new in a way and there- •
fore not yet found in many places. It is a
safe prediction that the advantages of the new
style of heating will be appreciated more and
more. There are many things about the oil i|
burning proposition which appeal to every flo- •
rist from the very first. There are also maiiy (
points upon which the average florist is . in K
doubt and which prevent his consideration of oil burn- 9
ing at all unless his questions are satisfactorily answered.
This is no more than proper and businesslike and the
writer wishes to touch upon the two points which are n
generally first mentioned.
One of these is: Is oil cheaper than coal?
The other one is: Can I get the oil, and can I al-
ways get it when I need it?

Let us consider question No. 1 first. As we all
know to our sorrow the price of coal has of late years
developed into a most uncertain factor. We all know
that coal has been sky high and often unobtainable at
any price. At the present moment coal is coming
down; how far down it will go is hard to tell, but
one thing is sure, which is that coal can now be had
in any quantity at short notice. On the other hand,
we have no guarantee when the price will soar again,
nor how high. Some trick or other of the coal com-
panies (and they are full of them) may change the
situation in a twinkling. The coal companies will know
how to manipulate things so that they won't be the losers.
The price of oil has never undergone the same violent
changes and is not likely to do so. Its extraction from
the •earth is not, as yet, depending upon the actions
of labor unions through which, by means of strikes,
production of coal can be stopped at a moment's no-
tice. Nor is there any danger that strikes ever will
affect the production of oil, because few men are needed
in the process and because the locations where oil is
produced are not easily controlled by the union's or-
ders. Production is therefore sure to keep step with the
demand.

The difference between the price of coal and oil is
greatly a matter of where the coal is to be bought. Its
price may be double in one locality as compared with
that of another. Then again, buying a ton of coal
does not say that you get your money's worth every time.
A ton of coal may cost $10, and not be worth $8 be-
cause it is poor in heat units or because it is one-fourth
to one-half slate, or of some other worthless rubbish. It
costs just as much for freight and local hauling
whether the coal is good or poor. Not so with oil. Oil
is bought and priced on the strength of invariable and
guaranteed heat units, and one barrel of oil is just
as good as another. You do not pay for hauling
worthless stuff. Then in the actual burning there is
an immense, big difference.

In the burning of coal a large amount of material
is absolutely and unavoidably wasted. There is no
help on this point. In opening the fire door every
time the fire has to be tended all the heat present in
the firebox goes up the chimney, the coal that made
that heat goes up the flue. Every time the fire has to
be stoked the same thing happens and, while doing the
job, the steam goes down — more coal wasted. Every
shovelful of coal that is put on the fire uses up a
large amount of heat before it is able to supply heat —
more coal wasted. And how much good is the half
burned coal and coke which is throvm out every day
with the ashes? At least one quarter of the ashes
consists of perfectly good little particles of perfectly
good coal that went through the grate — more coal
wasted. Not so with oil. The fire is started without

vcn opening the fire door. I-'rom then on every par-
Iclc of the oil does its lull duty and as long as the
re is going not one iota of heat is going to waste. I
irgot to mention the thousands of tons of coal used
' nd wasted in the process of banking the coal fires —
3 banking with oil. When no more steam is needed you
irn off the oil and that is all there is to it. Not one
rop has to be paid for but what is absolutely used
ar making steam.

I A Comparison of Costs

: Now to arrive at the actual figures for comparison
I regard to actual cost. Four barrels of 42 gallons
ich of oil represent one ton of good coal. It is, therefore,
1 easy matter to come to a conclusion as to the dif-
^rcnce between the cost of. coal and oil in any lo-
dity. But, and this is an important factor, always re-
ember the fact that in using oil you are not wasting one
op of material, in fact you would have hard work
iding a way to waste oil. To the original cost of
lal must always be added the cost of handling it and the
list of handling the ashes.

Certainty of Supply of Oil Fuel

The second question — Can I get the oil and can I
'ways get it when I need it, deserves the fullest and
jsest attention before a florist takes the first step toward
•.stalling oil burning. A conscientious and plain answer
ill at once show that a great many florists will
rvcr be able to use oil, no matter how much their
clination should run that way.

:Fucl oil can be had in a good many localities, and
lere such is the case a regular, dependable supply is
isolutely assured if the right steps are taken. Out
'est, in and near the oil region, for instance in many
-•alitics in Texas, Oklahoma, Nevada, California, and

Florida, oil can be had near the distributing points.
'.n Francisco is to a very large extent heated with oil.
jong the Atlantic Coast the facilities for procuring oil
;e restricted to the territories \/here the oil com-
inies have established their storage tanks from which
ie oil can be loaded on vessels or cars for distribu-
(■n to the interior. A florist situated beyond the haul-
ij distance of the oil company's delivery trucks or on
: road where these heavy trucks find it difficult of
ssage in bad weather, had better not think of oil
iless he can bring it to his place on a spur track of
i; railroad. The oil companies' trucks carry 1500
lllons and, on account of their weight, cannot go over
1)1 roads. In time, it is contemplated, the companies
\\\ extend their storage depots deeper into the in-
fior. The tank cars on the railroad carry from eight
( ten thousand gallons.

This is not the place to go into intimate details about
t, delivery of oil. Any company will gladly give all
t mformation needed. I will mention, though, that flor-
1 living within the delivery radius of any company
c make ironbound contracts with them and need not
y that they will ever get into trouble. Another thing,
i^e of the firms which build and install the oil bum-

inj;' «|uipments will undertake to put in an installation
without having s.itisfied themselves that there is not
the slightest doubt of its practicability in every detail.
.'\nd the matter of an oil supply and absolute certainty of
prompt delivery is the very first thing they will look
into. The florist, for whom a constructing firm un-
dertakes to install an oil burning equipment, may rest
absolutely safe. He will be taken care of under any
and all circumstances, but no florist will be able to per-
suatle a company to undertake what it thinks may be
a risk. The oil supply can be arranged with the oil
company direct or it can he procured through the build-
ers of the equipment.

Choice of Two Systems of Installation

As mentioned before there are several systems in
use for oil burning. Practically they resolve them-
selves into two. In one the oil is vaporized with the
help of steam and in this system electric power can
be dispensed with. The other system employs an air
current for vaporizing the oil. In this system, blow-
ers with a revolution of 3500 per minute, are driven by
an electric motor or other power can be used if suit-
able.

Object of this Article

This article is written with the intention of giving
a sotnewhat plain and concise account of the present
situation in regard to using fuel oil in place of coal

for the heating of greenhouses. It is the writer's can-
did opinion that oil burning is the coming thing, wher-
ever its possibilities and advantages are understood and

appreciated. It is cheaper, cleaner, more reliable and
more pleasant in every way than coal burning can ever
be. The idea of oil burning will have to fight its way
through like any other new thing, but it will come out
on top on account of its great merits. One who fol-
lows up this new development and who watches the
immense installations in the big cities quickly comes
to the conclusion that big capital knows what it is about.
Then think of it, the trade and safety of the biggest na-
tions are now absolutely depending on fuel oil. G. Th.

New York Florists Club Banquet

Presentation to Past-President Henshaw

The club's social "tid-bit" of the year was held at the
Hotel Biltmore March 16. There were nearly 300 in
attendance, including a number from out of town who
were "taking in" the International Flower Show held
in the Grand Central Palace, New York, last week.

While the banquet is generally regarded as a "night
out" for the "younger set" (a descriptive term favored
by society writers), there were present many of that
group known as the "elders"; not old folks, mind you,
as modern thought has gallantly obliterated that class.
Few will deny, however, that it takes a certain amount
of special energy, more associated with the "young
tloods," to circle a ballroom a number of times between
each course, all the way from soup to nuts. Neverthe-

less, it's a poor ruU- witlinut an exception, so we present
ex- .S. .\. I', and O. H. President A. L. Miller and two
or three others as men who, apparently, are unable to
resist a lively fo.xtrot or a dreamy, soulful waltz.

Now for a word about the ladies present. Probably
because of association with the beautiful in their pro-
fession the "florist boys" have become past masters in
the art of selecting many of the beautiful for sweet-
hearts and wives. At least, it looked that way for there
were blondes and brunettes, lights and heavies, in shim-
mering gowns (we nearly wrote shivering) sufficient
to gladden the eye of any theatrical magnate. And, oh I,
bow they wanted to dance! Naturally, President Hen-
drickson's promise that no speechmaking to any extent
would be indulged in "joyed" them beyond measure.
Of course, such out-of-town friends as Wm. Gude and
J. F. Ammann could not be passed up. These gentle-
men, however, were with the young folks in their desire
for a full evening, so a good story from each only added
to the fun of the night.

Then came the only pressing piece of business of the
evening, that of demonstrating to past President Hen-
shaw, in tangible form, the appreciation of the members
of the club of his work during his term of office last
year. Joseph Manda, in presenting a beautiful silver
tea set to Mr. Henshaw, delivered a happy speech, tell-
ing of his early acquaintanceship with the "skipper,"
when the latter, after working hours, acted as pin-boy
in a Summit (N. J.) bowling alley where many of the
trade formerly congregated. Mr. Manda paid high
tribute to the administration of the club's affairs while
the "skipper" was at the helm. It was only after long
applause that Mr. Henshaw was permitted to tender
his thanks for the gift. The former president, ad-
dressed his remarks principally to the ladies, requesting
that they charge themselves with the duty of seeing
that those whom they "controlled" at home attended
club meetings^ regularly, inasmuch as attendance was
always the chief factor in the success of an organiza-
tion. Moreover, concluded the "skipper," see that the
"boys" pay their dues promptly.

Before dancing was resumed. President Hendrickson
complimented the banquet committee, of which R. J.
Irwin is chairman, on the admirable manner in which
arrangeinents had been made for what was proving a
most enjoyable evening.

Ye reporter is not able to chronicle that the ballroom
was "tastefully decorated" because there were no floral
decorations. 'There was. however, a vase of cut flowers
at each table and, as well, many of the ladies wore choice
corsages.

Dancing continued until 1 a.m., at which hour the
orchestra played the most appropriate selection pos-
sible: "The End of a Perfect Day."

small dog under his arm. An Irishman was standing near

replied Pat, "he is kin to both of ua." — Ladies' Home Journal,

FLORIDA vs. CALIFORNIA

When this Discussion ends — most probably before it does end — our readers generally will
know much about Florida as a horticultural field. To the many who writes in its favor it must have
seemed as though it was high time that State had its inning.

Florida Horticulture

Aj'Jortherner's Impressions of Conditions Around

; Miami

B'tor The Florist^ Exchange:

|Iot having over much to do and having been used
a^ my life to employ all of my faculties toward the
ajancetaent of our trade I am sending a brief article
aut Florida. Perhaps some of my fellow brethren,
b' reading this, may possibly pick up items to the in-
t<:st of their business or get some points.

had to go South wiith my wife on Jan. 6, and if
nhing unforeseen happens, I will stay here until
fcrch 24. When Florida was first mentioned, the ques-
ti;i came up as to where we were going? My first
ttught was of my old friend S. S. Soar of Little
Rer and he finally located me at this address. Now
Frida is over 500 miles long. When we entered the
Ste, with the train going over the Georgia border, I
tijght to see something similar to California. Not
sc however. I was disappointed in every vray. Settle-
niit after settlement, and farm after farm — wild — for-
s^;n — scarcely occupied any more.

soon found out why. It had been a most beauti-
ftlaiidscape and a splendid fruit growing country be-
fc: the frost of four years ago, which killed every-
thg— Grapefruit, Oranges, Pineapples and some of
th more tender palms — everything except the stray
r\is and Palmetto or scrub palms and weeds. Here
^lil '^^''^' ■"^ could see some attempts at replanting
th groves with Pineapples and Grapefruit.

Coming farther down toward the subtropical line,
things changed. We began to see fine groves of
Oranges and Grapefruit, intermingled with Cocoanut
palms, which, in fact, make up most of the palms of
any account. Arriving at Palm Beach about 11 a.m.,
we found the most delightful weather — the sun shining,
and a temperature of 60 deg. to 70 deg. Reaching
Miami, we found it a real beauty spot — with 700 or
more land offices and the country around all laid out
in many sections with as many different names. The
area laid out must comprise at least 20 square miles.
Miami Beach (also about 20 square miles in extent)
lies across the Bay of Bisgaine, and oan be reached
only over a six mile causeway; one of the wonders of
America. The bay has an inlet from the ocean or
channel of 38ft. wide by 18ft. deep to enable the steam-
ers from Cuba, Bernini and Nassau to come in — they
say with whiskey. I have seen none, but you can see
plenty of evidence walking about.

Now consider a city with 40,000 all the year roimd
inhabitants, laid out about the size of New York with
700 land offices all wanting to sell you land, or Grape-
fruit orchards. Cheap? Oh, no! Flive hundred to
$15,000 a lot (50ft.xl50ft.) from the farthest back-
woods to Miami Beach ocean front. The only asset I
can see is the wonderful climate this time of the year.
I have been down here since Jan. 8 and up to Feb. 18
we have had the most delightful weather imaginable,
the temperature running from 60 deg. to 80 deg., with
a nice breeze and sunshine. Only twice, after high
winds from the Northwest, has the temperature fallen

to 50 deg. It was 42 deg. the first time, with some
rain for about an hour one night.

The rankest growing plants here, and in evidence all
over, are Rubbers, Pandanus Veitchii, Crotons in about
eight varieties, Hibiscus, in several colors, Washington
palms, Acalypha mosaica, Bougainvillea and Pines. The
Australian Pine can be cut to all shapes, hedge form,
pyramids, globes, columns, etc. It grows like Tamarix
and makes a green hedge like Privet. The Date palm
{Phosnix canariensis) does very nicely here — also
Phcenix Roebelenii, of which I saw several fine speci-
mens. Cocos plumosa is also fine here and Acrocomia
Totai and Latania borbonica. The surroundings of a
house can be made complete with Crotons, Hibiscus,
Acalypha, and a few Cocoanut and Royal palms {Oreo-
doxa regia).

The soil is not so good, mostly lime rock and sand.
In the everglades commencing outside Miami, marl,
humus, leaf mould, muck and black clay make up the
underlying strata. Interesting plants now coming into
bloom are the wild Plums, Grapefruit, Dombeya Wali-
chii (with a flower like the Hydrangea), Rose Apple,
Eugeriia Chambe, Kumquats and Bignonia venusta.

Besides the two Soars there are in business here
James Don, Exotic Plant Grower and Landscape Gar-
dener, and the Miami Floral Co. These are the most
important concerns in our line, though there are one or
two more concerns which I have not seen yet. If noth-
ing unexpected occurs, I most likely will send you an-
other article on my observations in the Grapefruit
groves and of the vegetable and Strawberry growing
activities. Also a little item on our sojourn through
the Deering Estates, and other private places, and up
the Miami River to the Everglades and the Alligator
Farm and Botanic Garden there. This trip was taken
through the kindness of Edward Simmonds, superin-
tendent of Plant Introduction Garden, U. S. Dept. of
Agriculture and Mr. Fairchild, also a Dr. Simson, who
has a 15-acre jungle and botanical collection of tropi-
cal plants and orchids. Anton Schultheis.

The Florists' Exchange

Not Reconstruction But Expansion Needed

(Continued from page 735)

body of men; secondly, that you have pledged yourself
to uphold certain definite standards and the policy of a
fair deal to planters.

The confidence of the public, the customers, in our
business is just as important then as it is in any other
line of business, if not more so. Confidence and hon-
esty are the foundations of every business and should be
those of ours also, because in many cases the planter is
not able, at the time of receiving the trees and plants,
to ascertain if he is really getting what his order called
for. This trademark is designed to inspire the required
confidence in our business. Thus it not only serves the
interests of the nurserymen but also is to the advantage
of the public, which it morally protects against unfair
dealings on the part of any member of the association.

That this trademark is the greatest achievement ever
accomplished in this line, has been proved by the fact
that with it the nursery business has gained the heartiest
approval and support of all the leading agricultural
and horticultural papers of the country; and the further
fact that it is not only recognized but accepted.

The Market Development Committee has provided
for some advertising the coming season which will be
bound to show results; it is only to be regretted that
more money cannot be spent for this purpose. Let's
hope, however, that this publicity campaign is only a
start, and that it will gain momentum. If you should
experience a rush in business the coming season, such
as you never experienced before, you can most likely
attribute it to this advertising.

But I was going to say a few words about Expansion.
In times when selling is good and it is an easy matter
to dispose of goods there is always a strong desire for
expansion. To tell you to raise more fruit trees, more
ornamentals, more evergreens, more this, that and the
other thing, would be cheap advice, because the result
would probably amount to about the same thing as
when the farmers were urged a year or two ago to raise
more Wheat, Corn, Oats and Potatoes only to find that
their tremendous crop had caused the "bottom to drop
out," simply because all their efforts had been made
toward production and practically none toward market-
ing. This very same thing would happen if the nur-
serymen paid heed to such advice as only took account
of production. If we plan to enlarge our plantings, we
must not neglect to look ahead and provide for adequate
sales by the time the increased product becomes market-
able.

Hovf to Make Expansion Bring Success

Prices are generally regulated by supply and demand.
You can't get away from that; and expanding, that is
increasing the production of your merchandise, must
necessarily be combined with increased efforts to create
a desire, a demand for your goods. Otherwise you are
inviting disaster, which in this case means the proverbial
fourth of July bonfire of brush piles. What I am try-
ing to impress on you is that the increased sales of late
years will naturally bring about considerably enlarged
plantings and that these will be welcomed only if at
the same time commensurate preparations are started
to dispose of the additional products in a profitable way.
If this is not feasible it would be better for all con-
cerned not to expand at all, that is, not to increase pro-
duction, but rather to make every possible effort to im-
prove the quality of their stock and thereby stabil-
ize its price.

New Openings in the Nursery Business

Extensive growing of fruit trees, ornamentals and
evergreens is not the only way to expand. Right now
there is a new industry developing within the nursery
business, and that is what we call the growing of lining
out stock, stock which, before Quarantine 37 happened,
was bought in Europe and imported to this country by
the million. At that time only easily grown stock was
propagated here, but now it is necessary to propagate
plants which require skill and certain facilities. 'That
these plants can be grown here has been sufficiently
demonstrated; doubtless they will be grown here in
quantity and probably better and stronger in quality
than those formerly received. This, at any rate if, as
Dr. Marlatt says, l3ie quarantine is here to stay.

There is another field, hardly touched as yet, and that
is the growing of flowering plants in pots for forcing.
The florists are badly in need of something different
than Cyclamen, Hydrangeas and Primulas. There is
really some variation needed. In the days before the
Quarantine any amount of this stock was imported
every year from Holland. I have in mind varieties
which already are grown in many a nursery, but which,
if intended for the florist trade must be potted up and
prepared for a year before being forced under glass.
I don't have to tell you how beautiful are plants such
as double flowering Lilacs, Pyrus floribunda, Prunus
triloba, and double flowering Almonds, Peaches and
Snowballs, when forced in greenhouses. I firmly believe
that those plants could be sold in considerable quanti-

ties every year. The growing of bulbs such as Gladioli,
Tulips, Narcissi, etc., is also increasing every year, and
it has been proved that Lily bulbs such as are now im-
ported from Japan by the millions, can be grown with
good success right here in this country.

How the American Forestry Association Can Help

I do not know if all of you are conscious of the fact
that you have a great friend and a promoter of your
interests in the American Forestry Association. _ This
is a povferful organization doing work of such impor-
tance that every nurseryman should be familiar with it.
This association has made it its business to work in the
interests of our forests, to preserve the existing wood-
lands and to work for the reforestation of the country.
* * * We all may live to see the day when there will
be laws passed compelling land owners to plant a new
tree for every one cut down. A National Forest Pro-
gram Bill has been introduced in the Senate and in the
House by this association.

Do you not want to take notice of these things? Are
you going to wait until the millions and millions of
those forest plants are actually needed before you get
busy. If so, the Federal or State Government will have
to grow all the stock that cannot be obtained from
nurserymen in sufficient quantities or in the desired
varieties. It is true enough that we have one of the
best and most uptodate tree growing establishments
right here in Illinois and that there are nurseries in the
East specializing in forest plants. Nevertheless, when
this country goes in for reforestation, there will be a
tremendous shortage of stock, even though Mr. Hill
should enlarge his business to ten times its present size.

Now would it not be worth while to investigate this
matter and, if there is possibility — ^as I believe there is —
of going after this business, to produce the plants and
then come to the front and say: Here we are; we are
citizens, we are business men, we are taxpayers; we
employ capital and labor ; we are entitled to this busi-
ness; the country needs our plants and no municipality
could grow them better nor cheaper.

The official magazine of the Forestry Association
stated in its January number that there is a plan under
way (which is receiving the hearty indorsement of the
highest authorities in the country) to systematically
plant forest shade trees along all the roadsides in the
United States.

Let us stop to think what that would mean to us.
To begin with, Illinois will build in the next few years
4000 miles of State highways; approximately 800 miles
are already built or nearly finished. Plantings along
both sides of the road at 50ft. intervals would require
over one million trees. This would look to be a simple
matter if it were not a fact that there is no space of
any kind provided for tree planting along our highways.
You cannot plant those trees in the road ditch, hence
the first thing to do would be to get in contact with the
proper authorities and try to effect a change in the con-
struction or at least in the layout of the roads, so as to
provide for the right kind of space for tree planting.

Now why should the Illinois State Nurserymen's
Association concern itself about this? In order that it
may sell that million of trees? No, sir. The nursery-
men would sell those trees anjrway, no matter who
planted them, provided they had that number on hand
of the right size and in desired varieties; though it
might be necessary to grow some trees especially fitted
for that purpose.

No, the nurserymen of the State should not only stand
behind this project but should take the lead in pushing
it, so as to give Illinois something that coming genera-
tions can be proud of. I have in mind something
aesthetic, something above the ordinary; a systematic
beautifying of the country; a work that will make it
healthier and more comfortable to travel those roads
and that at the same time will be a part in national
reforestation. This work deserves your most careful
study; if it is left to the indifferent, uncertain, unsyste-
matic and unconcerted action of different contractors,
it will become more or less of a hit or miss affair. To
my mind this would rather reflect on the nurserymen
of this State. The association should not let the oppor-
tunity pass by.

Wanted, Five Hundred Million Trees

I have spoken only of Illinois, but the article referred
to stated that the whole plan was systematically to plant
all the roadsides in the United States! Do you know
that there are 2,753,000 miles of highways in Uie United
States, which when all planted would require about
578,000,000 trees?

Gentlemen, there are immeasurable possibilities in
store for the nursery business. Some of them may not
materialize in the immediate future, but they will come
eventually. Sotae may need a little help on your part,
but in general it is up to you simply to take advantage
of the pending opportunities not only by producing the
right kind of stock, but also by coming before the pub-
lic with your aims in the proper way and at the right
time. Get the people interested in the goods you are

producing and selling, and you will find that you are
effecting the right kind of expansion.

I need not remind you, that here in Illinois you havi
the best soil, the best climate for growing hardy tree:
and plants and also the best transportation facilities.^ I:
Illinois is the logical business center of the Unite(
States, then let us all work together and strive to mak(
Illinois, also the center of the nursery business in the
United States.

Higher Education

In connection with the great Pageant of Progres:
to be held in Chicago during August next, the AUiec
Florists Association of Illinois proposes to use spaci
at a cost of $27,000 for the purpose of educating th(
public as to the many and costly phases of flower ant
plant production. The exhibition display will show
clearly, every step of culture, from the seed, cutting, oi
graft, to the finished product.

While the details regarding this proposed display an
meager, it must be admitted it is one of the greates
schemes for "Saying it with Flowers" yet put forward

The International Flower Show

An Old Stager Calls It a Splendid Exhibition

There is a word of commendation truthfully to b<
said of those who did the work and furnished the ex
hibits last week in connection with the Grand Centra
Palace, New York City. The splendor of the display:
on the main floor was like unto that of the Garden o:
Eden. Many flower shows have I visited but on mi
first visit I was surprised at the quality and quantit;
in every part of the building. The thousands of peopli
who visited the show carried away in memory the re
membrance of uncommon beauty, but a beauty that rep
resented much labor and intelligent cultivation extend-
ing over weeks and months.

The Roses surely were superb. The Carnations, Tu '
lips. Hyacinths, etc., also made visitors feel that the;-
simply must have some in their own gardens. For thi
New Yorkers who are penned up on Manhattan Island,
the beauty of the scene was superb. I have spoken t(
many visitors and the sentiment expressed was, withon
exception or reverse, one of gladness that they had gom
to the Flower Show.

The Official Flower Show Catalog

Judging by the number of people carrying this com
pilation, it serves a highly useful purpose. Of course
to the ordinary individual who is merely looking arouJK-
because it is fashionable, a catalog is of no service, bu
to the enthusiast who makes several visits and whos
bump of curiosity in the direction of horticultura :
knowledge is great, this catalog is both interesting am

useful. ... . .J J I

It tells who is runnmg the show, it provides a Jul
program of the musical numbers rendered by a mos
excellent orchestra, indeed, it is diflScult to find a su
periative good enough for Mr. Wolfsie's musical effort
and the delightful singing of Miss Gertrude J. Vai
Deinse. , , „ ,.

The catalog, too, gives the full list of jurors, tx
plains how they judge the various exhibits, provides
list of what additional exhibits are to be found fror
day to day, as well as a complete schedule. Articles o
considerable interest to the garden lover are numeroui
among them: "Best Hundred Garden Flowers," by Ceci
Davis; "A Guide to Sowing Seeds in Various Lati
tudes" by W. H. Waite; an interesting chat on Th
Dignity of the Rose"; "Spring Bulbs for Sumrae
Blooming," by I. S. Hendrickson ; "A Wild Garden s
the Flower Show," by H. Durand; various talks o
The Iris, Orchids, Chrysanthemum, Miniature Garden;
Wedding Decorations, Freesias, etc., by various wel
known authorities. In addition, it contains useful lislj
of the various botanical gardens and national parks cj
the United States. . , .■ ,

One little feature needed to complete it is an inde
right in front, whereby the various subjects discusse
in the book might be readily found.

The index of advertisers in the catalog is both essei
tial and valuable, but the other informational matter
equally deserving of similar attention.

HENRY PENN'S MESSAGE

Everybody Sells Something or Loafs

Mystery or Mastery

Have you ever stopped to think that there is no MYSTERY in
Success. It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It is based on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that underlie business activity and human life! It
comes from MASTERY of these laws, and their application to one s
work! To know these laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligently is sure to bring success whatever one's undertaking.
MASTERY is the key-word, not MYSTERY! The change of one let-
ter makes all the difference in the world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Business conditions are
rapidly changing. Just a short time ago there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more goods
than buyers. Instead of a seller's market, we have a buyer's market.
All business, or in other words, all human activity, in its last analysis
is dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill: the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant his merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice? Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your sales-
manship. ^ T* ■ e ^^• 1.

A Practical Primer For Retailers

\ Message for Retail
Merchants

Retailing principles to wliich
"'Very florist should give his at-
ention may be considered under
he following four heads: 1,
jiowledge and study of the busi-
less; 2, Its organization, and
ts relation to its surroundings;
1, Advertising and publicity
generally : and 4, Actual shop
Speration and management.

^at Every Retailer Should
Know

These are the things that
;very merchant should know
ibout for every day of his ac-
've business career : Cash sales :
:harge sales; money received
jn account; outstanding ac-
iounts; money paid out; total
^ales — both cash and charge ;
otal business done by each clerk ;
lumber of sales made by each
'■lerk; number of sales made by
ne store; total money receivea
rom all sources; who is re-
ponsible in case of error; that
Me has a check on all deliveries ;
hat the system employed pro-
'ects 'merchant, customers and
lerks; that the foundation of
"is system is a good one and
lot dependent on the weakness
i the human element.

Wn Open Mind, a Business
I Man's Best Asset

■ The merchant or clerk tliat

as reached the point where he

:iinks he cannot learn anything
'ew will do himself and the

rade a favor by getting out

f the business.

Get new ideas. Travel to oth-

r cities, visit successful stores,

'ok over, regularly, the lead-

'g trade papers. Read, investi-

ite and continually grow.

Blessed is the merchant or
lesman who gets enjoyment
It of his work and keeps his
ind ever open for improve-

; ent. Learn new ways of do-
g things ; and realize always
at mistakes are simply oppor-
;nities that lead to chances for greater learning.
The uptodate business man knows ; the outofdate dealer
Jesses. Many merchants guess how much money should
; in the cash drawer at night, having no system for se-
iring correct sales records when made. They guess at
^livery costs, they guess as to which is their best clerk,
ey guess at the condition of their credit business, at
e value of their stock and at a proper selling price.

; The habit of guessing is an important cause of

■ ousands of retail failures.

I Cost Items. Do you know just what it costs you to
ji business? Or do you overlook any of the following
■sential items? Rent, taxes, interest, repairs, salaries,

eakage, furniture, advertising, telephone, bad accounts,
•livery costs, ice, boxes, paper, heat, light, gifts, do-
itions, shrinkage painting, insurance collection costs, de-
eciation on building, fixtures and merchandise?

Beware of the Little Leaks

, Stock. Do you know the amount of stock on hand
I do you depend on a mere estimate instead of a care-
jl inventory? The purpose of an inventory is to give
merchant exact information as to how he stands. It
ust, therefore, tell the truth, and the whole truth. An
i.'entofy without a stock record affords no check against
•e goods which should show in the inventory; on the
jher hand, a stock record without an inventory will
i'/e no check against the theft of goods from stock.
Delivery Costs. Do you know what your delivery
it is? A poor delivery system may take as much as 5
jr cent of the gross sales; a good delivery system is

■ business builder, for attention and service given after
-sale is made adds to the satisfaction of a custoiner;
\^ service, on the other hand, constantly loses trade.
in ™i^ fegular time for making deliveries over care-
'ly planned routes. System in delivery saves money

In these days of business efficiency and competition the manufacturer of a com-
modity often knows more about the problems of those that use his goods and about
how to solve them than many of those users themselves. Aa an illustration, consider
I he National Cash Register Co., which, in bringing its products to their present state
of perfection, has probably made a more profound study and analysis of the principles
and practices of successful retailing than the great majority of retail merchants. Some
of the most important of these principles and practices it has set forth, in characteristic
convincing, graphic form, in a booklet "Getting the Most Out of Retailing." It is
so full of "pep," "punch," and profit that from it, with the kind permission of the
company, we have built up the following suggestive article, retaining wherever possible
the emphatic language of the booklet and merely condensing, rearranging and com-
bining to meet exigencies of space and setting. We regret the inability to reproduce
some of the telling illustrations but we sincerely believe that just as it stands, the ad-
vice can prove of permanent and immeasurable value to every florist and florists' em-
ployee who sees our paper. No matter whether it represents in his mind new light
on an old subject or merely reminders of well-known precepts, he will not be wasting
the time it takes to read it— nor the effort it requires to put those precepts into practice.

the merchant or manager
in buying, in watching credits,
in planning advertising and in
watching for leaks. The second
clerk may specialize on taking
orders over the , telephone,
checking outgoing orders and re-
porting on local competition. The
third clerk may, in his spare
minutes, keep track of the stock
arrangement, watch its condi-
tion, prevent stock shortage
and report no slow moving com-
modities. A fourth clerk might
be required to keep the window
displays in shape and study the
windows of competitors.

At the Eighth International (New York) Flower Show

First prize .Sweet Pea table. This exhibit was staged by Mrs. Ridley Watts, gdr., S. Golding, Morristown, N .T. While not
showing any particularly new ideas in design, this table was remarkably striking because of the magnificent quality of the flowers

used, the variety being Zvolanek's Rose.

for both customer and merchant. Every delivery man
should be an expert salesman a;nd should, as well, report
complaints and watch out for new customers.

It is often possible to lower delivery costs by increas-
ing the number of "take withs," or by joining with other
stores in the operation of a cooperative delivery system.

Credits. Do you ascertain your credit balance fre-
quently ? The merchant who "guesses" may make money
under favorable conditions, but when hard times come
he is the first man forced to the wall. Information is
protection and successful business is founded on the sys-
tematic securing of accurate information.

The TuRNoraR. Do you know how to figure turn-
over? Stock that does not turn eats up profits; whereas
the more frequent your turnovers, the greater your profits.

A simple rule for figuring turnover is to divide the
total business for the year by the average inventory at
selling price. For example, suppose your sales for
the year total $50,000 and you carry an average stock of
$5000. Your retail selling price, based on mark-up
of 50 per cent on cost, or 33 1/3 per cent, on selling, is
$7500. To find out how many times your goods were
turned over, you divide $50,000 by $7500, the answer
being 6 2/3.

Organization, No Less Essential in a Shop Than
in an Army

Plan your organization according to the number of
employees ; have each one do the work he is best flitted
for. Let your clerks carry a share of responsibility so
that you may be freed of the minor details and may
plan the larger features of the enterprise. Let each
clerk have a definite field and see that he fills it. This
will save your time and your energy for more important
problems.

As an example, the head clerk may be responsible for
the supervision of the other clerks and should also assist

Knockers versus Boosters

Don't knock competitors —
practice the golden rule. The
day of cutthroat competition is
past. Today cooperation rules.

The failure of your brother
merchant across the street reacts
to your disadvantage. But it is
helpful to you, to every other
merchant in your town and to
your entire community to have
the world know that all your
:ommunity's stores are uptodate,
progressive and successful.

Aside from promoting your
own business boost your city
and help build up your com-
munity. Keep up a lively inter-
est in the local movements for
a better business center and a
better home city; stand for the
best in schools, streets and all
civic improvements. Contribute
to a general fund to pay the
transportation out of town of
every merchant who stands in
the way of progress or who
growls about the town being
a poor one. If there is no such
fund, help to establish one.

Some Advertising Advice

Don't spend a few dollars on
advertising and then say "Ad-
vertising doesn't pay." It does
pay. Successful merchants
everywhere say so. Advertis-
ing is the artillery of business —
the long range selling attack;
and the right kind of newspaper advertising pays best of all.
Every uptodate store has news for the public. Let
your advertising supply that news. In doing so don't
try to copy after others ; never misrepresent your goods ;
avoid fancy designs ; put your personality into your
ads ; use simple words, short sentences and plain type.

Outside the Shop

An unattractive store front repels trade ; an attractive
front draws it like a magnet. It is just as wasteful
for a merchant to neglect the exterior of his estab-
lishment and his window displays as it is for a farmer
to permit his best land to grow up in weeds. Don't
use your show window to advertise other people's busi-
ness. If it is worth money to others it is worth even
more to you. Newspaper advertising aims to bring
potential customers from afar; the appearance of your
store from the street can exert the final pull on them
or it can turn them away before they have even seen
your stock.

Window Trimming

In arranging a window display don't crowd the space
with a variety of merchandise trusting that the passerby
will see something that he wants. Show one kind of
goods only or group different kinds distinctively and
harmoniously. In the main, keep window displays simple
and arrange them to fit the season. As a rule it is well
to show prices. Lighting is extremely important; have
it shine on the goods, not in the eyes of the passersby. Have
a central point to which all eyes will naturally be turned
and place right there the fact or article you are
especially anxious to get across.

Don't arrange a window and then forget all about it.
Watch the people as they pass; note whether they are
attracted to your window and then if they enter the store;
if they don't, find out why, and promptly remedy the
trouble.

Opportunities in Operating

Inside the Shop. Keep the interior of
tlie shop neat and clean. Even those people
who are not themselves tidy admire the
quality in others. Arrange your goods
so they will tempt the customer, placing
the most attractive toward the front
and the staples and bargain articles
toward the rear. Display all the goods
you can, but do not crowd shelves or floor
space. Let the goods offer themselves so
far as possible and toward this end em-
ploy uptodate fixtures and proper arrange-
ments.

Price Fixing. Establish your prices sys-
tematically, with due regard for produc-
tion costs, operating expenses and legiti-
mate profit. Profit must come out of sell-
ing price and not out of the cost.

Margin (which includes overhead and
profit) is a ways figured on the selling
price. When, for example, a man buys
something for $1 and sells it for $1.25 he
makes 25c. gross, but that is not 25 per
cent gross profit. It is 20 per cent, of
$1.25, the selling price. He makes, not
one-fourth of the cost, but one-firth of the
sale price.

When you know what the goods cost,
and the margin you wish to make, take
the desired margin from 100, divide the
cost by the remainder, and the answer
will be the sale price, including the mar-
gin. For example: Goods cost $1.50 and
you want to make 25 per cent. Take 25
from 100 and -the remainder is 75. Divide
$1.50 by 75 and you have the answer,
which is $2. Here the selling price being
100 per cent and the desired margin 25
per cent, the cost must be 75 per cent.
The cost, we find, is $1.50, and since this
is 75 per cent of the price we are seeking,
the latter must be $2.

To find the percentage on sales of the
cost of doing business, divide the gross
expense by gross sales for the year.

Figuring Profits. Do you know how to
figure a profit? This sounds like an ele-
mentary question, but many a retailer mis-
imderstands just what it means, or un-
derestimates its importance.

Experience has proved that many busi-
ness men have the wrong idea about figur-
ing profit. Remember that 20 per cent
added to the cost does not yield 20 per
cent profit. Profit is properly figured on
selling price and to make a 20 per, cent
profit you must add 25 per cent to cost.

Keep the following schedule before you,
and you will find it worth many dollars in
the course of a year:

5% added to cost is 4^;^% profit on selling price.

8H% added to cost is 7% profit on spiling price.

10% added to coat is 9% profit on selling price.

12H% added to cost is \V-s% profit on sellioE price,

15% added to cost is 13% profit on selling price.

16% added to cost is UH% profit on selling price.

WA% added to cost is 15% profit on selling price.

20% added to cost is 16%% profit on selling price.

25% added to cost is 20% profit on selling price.

30% added to cost is 23% profit on seliing price.
33^% added to cost is 25% profit on selling price.

35% added to cost is 26% profit on selling price.

37V^% added to cost is 27*4% profit on selling price.

40% added to cost is 28H% profit on selling price.

45% added to cost is 31% profit on selling price.

50% added to cost is 33V^% profit on selling price.

55% added to cost is 35^% profit on selling price.

60% added to cost is 37Vi2% profit on selling price.

65% added to cost is 39'/2% profit on selling price.
66^% added to cost is 40% profit on selling price.

70% added to cost is 41% profit on selling price.

75% added to cost is 422^% profit on selling price.

80% added to cost is 4412% profit on selling price.

85% added to cost is 46% profit on selling price.

90% added to cost is 47H% profit on selling price.

j Know How to Mark Your Goods

I HiiVing established a price it is equally
[ important that you mark each article so
I that no mistake will be made in selling
I it.

I Much loss is sustained by reason of
goods being carried in stock too long, or
new stock being moved ahead of old. Fol-
lowing is a suggestion for marking goods
so as to always know when they are
stocked.

Use the first twelve letters of the al-
phabet or any other combination to desig-
nate the month, and the last ones re-
versed to designate the year, as L — 1920;
X— 1921; Y— 1922, etc. For example, a
price tag reading, "Invoice Z — 11," would
mean that the goods were bought in Nov.
1920.

Many merchants use a key word for
marking the price on cost of goods. Fol-
lowing are suggested words:

RESUMPTION
1 2 3 4 5 6 7' 8 9 0
BRICK HOUSE
12.3 4 5 67890
A DISCOVERY
1234567890

Good Council for the Clerk

This does not mean that all the fore-
going suggestions cannot be just as valu-
able to the clerk as to the merchant him-
self, or for that matter, that the following
hints may not be profitably memorized by
the merchant himself as well as his sales-
men. It does mean, however, that the
suggestions which follow are specifically
designed to equip a man so that he may
render better service to the employer and
thereby promote his own prosperity and
advancement.

InDIFFEREISCE in a clerk is FATAL.

Don't be a "take it or leave it" sort of
salesman. Don't make customers feel that
you are doing them a favor by allowing
them to buy from you. Don't be crusty
if people are "just looking" and don't buy.
Take pains to explain important points
about the goods to the customer. Practice
suggestive selling.

Make your firm's interests your interest.

Remember that the customer is the
store's guest and that people will flock to
the store where clerks are always polite.
Don't throw package and change on the
counter or drop them, carelessly into the
customer's hand. Take time to hand them
to the customer courteously.

Personality. Neatness is an indis-
pensable asset from the store viewpoint
and a great factor in the success of the
individual. Dirty hands and soiled linen
will disgust and drive away a merchant's
best customers. The store and its policy
are judged very largely by the appear-
ance of the salespeople and the treatment
received at the counter.

Help yourself by mahing a fine art of
your work.

Kindness added to courtesy is especially
effective and productive of results in deal-
ing with children. The clerk who is kind
to children is giving the best service to
his employer. He is laying a good foun-
dation for his own success. Children soon
grow to be men and women . They re-
member the store where they were treated
as courteously as if they were grown-ups.

Success results largely from the sum of
little things well done.

Careful salesmanship leads to promotion
and carefulness is in no connection more
important than in wrapping up packages.
A neat package pleases the customer and
enhances the reputation of the shop; a
poorly wrapped package is a poor adver-
tisement.

Don't waste material. The material is
money and what belongs to the employer
is, temporarily at least, entrusted to you.
Don't waste samples; don't waste string
and wrapping paper. It is the hundreds
of little economies made without lessening
the store service which has made many es-
tablishments grow and prosper.

Personality is always an asset. The
grouchy clerk is just as distasteful to
the customer as the grouchy merchant is
to the clerk he employs. Answer tele-
phone orders with a smile in your voice
and always employ tact in meeting com-
plaints. The clerk with a smile has a big
start over the clerk with the perpetual
grouch, not only in winning the approval
of customers but also in winning the
good will of the boss and in thus enhanc-
ing the opportunities for his own advance-
ment. . .

Habits. Don't say that it is none of
the boss's business what you do out of
working hours. Bad habits during these
hours lower your efficiency and inevitably
interfere with your success. The world be-
longs to the energetic and the efficient,
and you cannot stay out late nights and
be either energetic or efficient. To para-
phrase the old nursery rhyme —
"Early to breakfast and early to work
Is the rule that produces a top-notch

Good health and good habits are inter-
dependent and each contributes to suc-
cess The five essentials of health are
(1) Fresh air; (2) Good light; (3) Pure
water; (4) Good food; (5) Exercise. All
of them contribute to energy, and energy
is the salesman's best asset.

Don't let the boss do all the think-
ing; keep your eyes open, read, study, take
an interest in the business and make the
most of every moment and every oppor-
tunity.

The Easter Flowers

Such is the title of a dainty little folder
issued by Anderson the florist of Buffalo,
N y. The color work frontispiece is well
executed and calculated to attract pros-
pective customers. Reminders of this kind
sent through the mails, are one of the
several methods of advertising that the
uptodate florist adopts.

Westchester County Doings

New Eochelle.— j. H. Troy of Web-
ster and Mayflower aves. has just returned
from a trip to Florida on which he com-
bined business with pleasure. He feela
much pleased with the results accom-
plished in both directions. Mr. Troy con-
templates starting a new nursery m the
vicinity of Greenwich, Conn., having ac-
quired' about 250 acres there. The busi-
ness at New Rochelle, under the manage-
ment of Wm. Whitton, is thriving.

Mt. Vernon. — The business at 25 So.
Fourth ave., formerly conducted by Arthur
Dunnett has changed hands and is now
owned by Oscar Ander.son, formerly of the
House of Flowers in the Proctor Bldg.
A. S. Mercer is still manager and that is
enough to insure its success in the fu-

Arthur Diumett of the Heathcote Sery.-
ice Corporation has returned from his
trip to the South and is now busily en-
gaged in landscape construction work.

The trade generally throughout the city
is good and the outlook for the Easter
trade is excellent.

YoNKEES.— The N. Y. Foral Co. is busy
preparing for the Easter rush.

Broderick is the possessor of a new car
and it surely is a beauty.

McHenry has a fine display of ferns in
his window and has been busy with sev-
eral funeral pieces.

The Hollywood, Florist, concern is re-
ceiving several of its plants now and Mr.
Smith is busy making trips to New Jer-
sey and Long Island, buying stock.

Mr. Peterson, who took over the green-
houses of F. Knapper, has a beautiful dis-
play of Cyclamens and Roses. This season
this concern has already sold out its en-
tire stock for the Easter trade. The local
dealers are using all that Mr. Peterson
grows There are now about 6000 sq. ft.
of glass and it will not be long before this
is greatly increased. J. M. Thomas.

Speaking of the scanty interest often
sho-ivn when readers have been asked to
express an opinion in these columns, a
correspondent pertinently remarks: "The
trouble with the great florist public to-
day (to my mind), is that they do not
encourage the horticultural press by actu-
ally demonstrating that they do read and
appreciate its contents. If I were a bank
president, and a florist came to me for
a loan, my first question, with a view to
his business capacity, would be, *Do you
read and digest The Florists' Ex-
change'?"

An Easter Calendar

From Baum's Home of Flowers, Inc.,
Knoxville, Term., comes a postal folder
bearing the well known F. T. D. sign and
the national slogan. Inside is an Easter
calendar giving the dates of Easter Sun-
day from the current year on to 1976.
If any florist of today figures on being in
business after this latter date which, by
the way is April 18, he will have to con-
sult the stars. We don't know and, what's
more, don't care a cent's worth.

New York City

The Market

Maxch 22. — There are few, if indeed
any, conditions in the wholesale cut flower
market at this writing to indicate that this
is the pre-Easter week. The general arrivals
are normally large for the season, the demand
not above medium, and last week's prices
difficult to maintain.

The demand for Am. Beauty Roses is not
keeping pace with the increase in the supply,
consequently there has been a drop in prices;
special grade blooms are selling at 35c. to 75c.
each; other grades as quoted. The supply
of other Roses has increased and on account
of the extremely warm weather of Monday,
when the thermometer marked 81 deg.,
many Roses arrived in a somewhat open con-
dition. Top grade blooms bring 6c. to 25c.
each, but Crusader is realizing 35c., Premier
40c., Hadley 50c., and Key 60c. No. 2 grade
blooms, S3 to S6 per 100.

The arrivals of Carnations are rather large
and they are not moving at all briskly; select
grade blooms with difficulty fetch 85 to SS;
culls to ordinary S2 to S4 per 100.

Cattleyas are in not over large supply, and
the demand for these appears to be a little
stronger. The variety Schroderas is selling
at from 40c. to 60c. each, and the varieties
trianse and mossiee at 75c. to SI. 50. The
small supply of Cypripediums go at S2.50 for
the common up to i6 for the choicer varieties.
Gardenias are in large supply and are moving
out slowly at 50c. to .S4 a doz. The demand
for the medium supply of Lily of the Valley
appears to be a trifle larger; it is realizing
from S2 to S6 per 100. Longiflorum Lilies are
in abundant supply and bring S15 t-o $25 a
100 cut, and about S30 in the pots.

In bulbous stock not previously mentioned
Callas are in extremely large supply, far in-
deed in excess of the medium demand, prices
ranging from SI to S3 and occasionally S4
per doz. There is an increase, apparently
temporary, in the supply of Freesia, which is
meeting with a moderate demand at 15c. to
75c. a bunch. There is very little Paper-
white Narcissi and that is of poor quality and
moving out slowly at 35c. to 50c. per bunch.
The local supply of Daffodils from the
greenhouses has been enlarged by consider-
able arrivals of these flowers of fair quality,
but without foliage, from the South; all are
meeting with a fair demand at 35c. to SI per
bunch. The arrivals of Tulips, both the
early flowering single and double of all va-
rieties, and also of Darwins, has fallen off
somewhat, especially in the case of the Dar-
wins. The quality in general is not such as
to commend them to buyers; prices range
from 15c. to 75c. per bunch, except for the
Darwins which are bringing SI to S1.25.

The general supply of miscellaneous flowers
is large. Antirrhinum, of excellent quality,
is the leader as regards quantity, bringing
50c. to SI. 50 and occasionally S2 per bunch.
Both the supply of Acacia and the demand
for it have fallen off, it is selling at S1.50 to

52 per bunch. The moderate supply of
Daisies is naoving out rather slowly at SI to

53 and occasionally S4 per 100. Calendula
is in medimn supply and is meeting with a
slow demand at 25c. to 50c. per bunch. The
supply of Lilac and Mignonette is not large,
the former is selling at SI. 50 to S2.50 per
bunch and the latter at 25c. to SI per doz.
sprays. Pansies are in oversupply; in general
they are selling at 50c. to SI per 100, with
occasional sales of extra choice blooms at
S2 to S3. Sweet Peas are in extremely large
supply and the range as regards varieties,
quality and price is wide; they are moving
moderately well at 50e. to S3 and occasion-
ally in case of extra choice blooms fetch S4
and S5 per 100 sprays. The warm weather
in the early part of the week was damaging
to the Violets; those that were cut at that
time and shipped into the market could
hardly be disposed of at any price. Later ar-
rivals, benefiting by the cooler weather, are
of better quality and are seUing none too fast
at 40c. to 75c. for doubles, and 40c. to 60c.
for the single variety Governor Herrick; SI
for California. The supply of Myosbtis,
mostly of inferior quaUty, is meeting with
very httle demand no matter how low the
price is made.

As regards greens, Asparagus is in suflScient
supply to meet requirements and the same
is true of Sniilax, which varies greatly in
quaUty and of Maidenhair ferns. There is
the usual supply of hardy greens. All of
these are meeting with a fair demand at
quoted prices.

this week, after a seven day and night
run, and will not appear again until 1922.
She left the stage amidst great applause,
after having drawn every day and night
from start to finish. Manager Arthur
Herrington tells us, a far larger attend-
ance than she drew in 1920. The fact, too,
that she was in just as good form in the
closing days of her appearance in most
respects as in the first has been the theme
of much favorable conmiendation.

On the All Important Matter of Allied
Trade Work

Mr. Henshaw remarks as follows: "I
wonder if florists generally read the daily
papers consistently enough to have noticed
the very advantageous articles which have
recently appeared in iQew York and subur-
ban papers."

Since the Allied Trade Association ad-
vertisements have appeared, the word
seems to have gone out through Newe-
paperdom that the florists have at last
awakened to the value of publicity. Special
writers have trailed such men as Perry
of Dards, Thorley, J. H. Small, The Bos-
ton Florist and M. Frank, getting good
copy from each and making very readable
and instructive articles for the flower-
loving and flower-buying public. One
long article, giving an interview
with Mr. Perry, was especially good.
A Newark daily comes out with a
front page article, large type heading,
with timely remarks by Bergerow. All
this is of value which could not be bought
in the advertising columns and there is
no shadow of doubt but that the Allied
Trade advertisements are the prime cause.
Easter business will get much benefit, but
don't croak if your sales are not doubled.
Think how much worse they would have
been without all this publicity.

Growers' cheques are still coming in
toward our fund and when the Easter rush
IS over activity will be resumed. Progress
so far, however, is ridiculously slow. The
retailers have not taken an active part
at all to date. They have undoubtedly
shared the benefits of the money spent
and should contribute equally. Wholesal-
ers are all in line and paid up; likewise
the seed and bulb men, supply men and
greenhouse builders; growers, it is esti-
mated have contributed to the extent of
20 per cent of the glass shipping to the
New York market. Our receipts for the
advertismg campaign have now reached
?5000 It will be readily seen what a
mapificent advertising fund New York
''"''set together when all are contributing

Wonderful success is the word in Chi-
cago, where retailers within fifty miles of
the city are charged one per cent for
publicity. Think of this, Mr. New York
Ketailer! How about requesting your
wholesaler to do this service for youf

A meeting of the Allied Trade Associa-
tion will be called soon after Easter.
Flobists' Exchange readers will all be
welcome Do not stand back and let the
other fellow do the work and foot the bill

Talking to the public by way of the daily
press pays and will put money in your
pocket. A. M. Henshaw, Chairman

Allied Trade Association.

{For list of contributors^ see page 762).

Thanks from A. M. Henshaw

I want to thank those members of
the New York Forists Club who were
not present at the annual banquet? on
Wednesday, March 16, for the magnificent
silver service presented to me on that oc-
casion. I feel that my services to the
club as its president during the past year
did not call for such a generous token of
reward and esteem. My interest in the
club is as great as ever and my services
are always available. May I ask that
our club members keep our motto in
mind: "All One."

Around and About Town

We noted this week for the Easter
trade choice blooms of Cattleya trian^
and mossiEB and of Brasso-eattleyas and
some beautiful Cypripediums of the less
seen kind at Dolansky-McDonald's.

Shamrocks, though the supply was nor-
mally large, were entirely out of the mar-
ket by the morning of St. Patrick's Day.
The demand for green Carnations, too, for
use on this day was unusually large, one
wholesaler alone selling about 3000 of
these.

At H. C. Froment's we noted this week
a large variety of uptodate Roses, in-
cluding Columbia, Premier, Hadley and
Ward. Sweet Peas, too, of unusual quality
were a supplement to the large supply of
Roses for Easter sales.
_ Although there is at present in this
city no wholesale establishment devoted
entirely to the handling of potted plants,
some of the wholesale cut flower merchants
are handling plants for Easter as a side
line. For example, we noted this week at
George Polykranas' Hydrangeas in sev-
eral varieties and Lilies in pots, both of
excellent quality; at J. K. Allen's a large
variety of bulbous stock, such as Hya-
cinths, Narcissi and Tulips in pots, at-
tracted our attention; at M. C. Ford's
well grown Tulips of the choicer varie-
ties in flats; at Wm. Kessler's Cyclamen,
Candytuft, Geraniums and Phlox and also
bubous stock in pots; at Jas. McManus'
Genistas and Roses.

There are several kinds of Violets
which will be offered for Easter. Among
these are the old favorite, Marie Louise,
also the nowadays very little seen Swan-
ley White, which we noted at Booth &
Doyle's, the well known single variety.
Gov. Herrick, and the sweet scented single
variety, California, which we noted this
week at W. T. Iler's.

The Market

Mar. 22. — Since the last report, the
market has been comparatively slow.
There was a large supply of everything;
hastened on by favorable weather condi-
tions, but with all this, there was no
heavy demand. Seemingly everybody was
buying as little as possible and only for
immediate needs. The week before Easter
as well as the week after, is generally
noted to be two poor weeks of business.
The week before the pent up desire to
buy is reserved for the week following
and the week after the buying spirit has
lost much of its former impetus. All this
precipitates three weeks* business into the
one, which opened Monday, but without
any unusual si^ificance.

No one is looking for a record breaker,
in fact, indicationo are that it will not
be as good aa one year ago; general con-
ditions throughout the country do not
warrant it. Aside from all comparisons
with former years, it is the general im-
pression that a good business will be
done and that there will be .enough of
most lines of stock with satisfactory prices
prevailing.

The Lily question ia the most psrplexing
at present; two weeks ago it was the gen-
eral opinion there would be enoug'h and
large growers of pot Lilies sold out at
from $17.50 to $20 per 100 blooms. At
this writing, there is not any to be iiad,
even at the price of $25 to $30 per JOO.
The Lily market has stiffened consider-
ably during the past week. In pot plants,
the growers are sold out, all stock is noT7
in the retailers' hands. In cut Lilies,
there will be a larger supply, but just to
what extent this will meet the demand
of the next few days is a matter of
speculation.

The supply of Roses for the week's trade
is a matter difficult to foresee. On such
occasions, one never knows just how much
the grower ia holding in his cooling rooms
until the closing days. No large supply
is, however, looked for, but enough for aU
reasonable demand.

There are plenty of Carnations, but the
warm weather has softened them to some
extent. It is believed there will be
enough. Sweet Peas are at the height
of the season's production. Some fiiie
long stems are to be seen and the variety
of color is all that can be desired.

Bulb stock may also be said to be at
the highest point of production. Darwin
Tulips in many striking varieties are of-
fered and Narcissus also in many varie-
ties. Von Sion is in and broadens still
further the many varieties already of-
fered. There is much miscellaneous bulb
stock coming from the South; not all of
it goes through the wholesale cut flower
market. Boxes of Jonquils from South-
em shippers were offered on South Water
street produce market the past week at
50c. per box.

The Rainbow Freesias are a feature
of the market. Warm weather has prac-
tically put an end to the season for Vio-
lets so far as the Eastern stock is con-
cerned. There will be plenty of orchids.
Valley and other flowers for corsage wort.

"JAY EM" Says:

Pageant of Progress Exposition

Cbicago expects that its usual throne of Summer
visitors will be increased by three million this Sum-
mer. The lure being the above great business show.

The exposition is to be held on the city's Munici-
pal Pier, stretching out into the lake 3000ft., and
affording ten times more exhibition space than the
Coliseum which has up to this time been the largest
exhibition building in the city in which National
political conventions have been held, and the
S. A. F. Convention in 1912. The Municipal Pier
will be an ideal place for a mid-Summer exposition.
The dates set are from July 30 to August 14.

The Allied Florists' Association of Illinois pro-
poses to use space at a cost of §27,000 to show each
step in the production of flowers from the seed,
cutting, scion or graft, to the development of the
perfect bloom, in this way the public would be
led to understand why prices seem high, and realize
how much it costs to produce flowers.

It is proposed to make this exposition 75% busi-
ness and 25% pleasure. Florists throughout the
country should bear this in mind and arrange
their vacation so as to be in Chicago on the dates
named. Besides the Exposition, they can visit
the Great Chicago Wholesale Cut Flower Market
and many of the large greenhouse estabUshments
surrounding the city that supply the market.

Make a note of this and come to Chicago, a city
of life, action and great institutions, for your vaca-
tion this Summer.

ads, artistically gotten up. One West Side
store advertises 10,000 Lilies for Easter;
another store notes on a mammoth sign
that it has 20,000 branch stores in the
U. S. A. from any of which prompt deliv-
ery can be made. While every member of
the F. T. D. has just as many stores
to draw from, this is, after all, a rather
catchy way of making the fact known
to the public.

Arthur Bauscher, president of Bauscher
Bros, of Freeport, 111., shot Mies Helen
Wilson, a former sweetheart, while alight-
ing from an interurban street car on
Slar. 17, and then turned the gun on him-
self. Both are in the Bockford City Hos-
pital where little hope is held for their
recovery. Mr. Bauscher was a recent
visitor to the Chicago market for the pur-
chase of stock for his business. Miss
Wilson had on several times accompanied
him and the sad outcome of their love
affair is a matter of general regret to
their many friends in Chicago.

The death of Bert L. Taylor, beat known
as "B. L. T.," humorous editor of the
"A Line o'Type or Two" column in the
Chicago Daily Trilnne is a cause of wide-
spread regret. He was a rare genius and
a man of distinction in American letters.
His many humorous references to the
florist business and those connected with
it wherever by any manner of means
he could connect a name with a business
were especially interesting. He fre-
quently used our slogan, "Say it with
Flowers," in his writings and although
in a jocular way, did much to popularize
it.

St. Patrick's Day business was slow;
there were, however, many ridiculous win-
dow displays where scooped Potatoes were
used to plant Shamrocks in, one would ^
hardly recognize the lowly spud doing duty ]
for a plant receptacle with bunches of |
green ribbon for a girdle and otherwise j
adorned in the colors of the day. j

At the Garfield Park Conservatories
there is a handsome Easter display, a
portion of which is 5000 Darwin Tulips !
in the newest and most attractive varie-
ties.

Miss Harris, of the Flower Shop, Mem-
phis, Tenn., was in the city last week do-
ing Easter shopping. While business is
slow in the South, the flower trade is
holding up better than any other line.
There is a steady business right along,
while other interests are complaining.

C. B. Knickman, representing McHut-
chison & Co., New york,_ is in the city.
He reports business good in most sections
of the country. There are sections, how-
ever, where the trade is buying sparingly.
He says the business depression has past
and there will be a good Spring and Sum-
mer trade in all lines of stock as soon as
Easter business is over.

A. F. Webber, formerly of Bowmanville,
who recently purchased the Chas. Abbott
greenhouses at Crown Point, Ind., was in
the city Monday. He is growing some
good Colmnbia and Ophelia Roses and has
greatly improved his place since taking
possession a year ago.
_ The fferald Examiner in its Sunday edi-
tion had a good article on Easter Lilies in

its magazine section. It went on to ex-
plain how it took five years to produce a
flowering bulb. Such articles as these
are helpful to the trade, inasmuch as
they give the public an idea of how long
it takes to develop the flnished plant
which in itself shows the reason for the
seemingly high price per bloom as it may
appear to some.

Robert Newcomb, representing the Bur-
lington Willow Ware Shops, Burlington,
la., is in the city. He says the florists
business is better than any other in many
sections he visited. A contemplated re-
duction of twenty per cent in the price
of baskets is retarding sales. There is no
heavy buying on a falling market; only
stock for immediate necessity is being pur-
chased.

Several Chicagoans journeyed to Crown
Point, Ind., the past ten days to see the
Alois Frey greenhouses where Rainbow
Freesias are grown to perfection. Sev-
eral houses of these just right for Easter
is a sight worth going to see. There are
lots of them cut with 30in. stems.

At 2 a.m. March 27, Easter Sunday
morning, daylight saving goes into effect
in Chicago and all clocks will be set ahead
one hour to remain so until nest October.
There was some opposition to this last
year, but a referendimi at the time of last
November's election, proved that a large
majority of the citizens of Chicago are in
favor of it. The railroads are planning to
operate their Summer schedules on cen-
tral standard time, but trains will be
scheduled approximately one hour earlier.

Chicago retailers are conducting a lively
campaign of Easter advertising in the
local papers. Lange, Mangel, the Alpha

Th.e Market

March 22. — Until yesterday (Mon-
day) the market behaved pretty much as it
did a week ago, that is to say, there were
efforts to dispose of an overabundant su^pply
at almost any price. This condition has
changed, however, and, while prices have
not advanced much in some lines, the tone
of the market is stiffer, the demand has im-
proved and, in a day or two, the Easter trade
will be in full swing. In general, there is a
feeling that this Easter will be at least as
good as the last. While it is conceded that
in several lines of flowers and plants the
supply may be on the short side, there is no
indication that prices are going to be boosted, l
The wonderful Spring-like weather of the '
last few weeks has forwarded flowers and 1
plants in great shape. Many a lot of pot ]
Lilies which were doubtful, have come in on
time ; the same can be said of Roses and bulbs,
etc. For the last two days, trucks loaded
with Lilies, have been met all over the city. [
A great part of the crop will be delivered be-
fore tonight. The price of pot Lilies varies
between 20c. and 25c. per bud. Pot Roses |
and other stock are in excellent condition, j
and many greenhouse concerns report being |
sold out.

American Beauty Roses are in short
supply; the prices ranging from, specials SI, i
fancy 75c., extra 50c., No. 1 25c., No. 2 12c. i
The demand is very poor. Other Roses
have taken quite a little jump since yester-
day morning. Hadley and Russell bring up
to 35c., wMIe Columbia, Ophelia, Premier
and Pilgrim have gone to 25c. for good
flowers. Six cents is the lowest for short
grades. At present, it is hard to tell whether
the supply for the holiday will be sufficient.
It probably will be.

Carnations have held, at 8c. for ANo.l
stock all through last week and today, the
indications are that the price will advance.
It is not expected that Carnations will be
driven to any extortionate figure however.
The supply is expected to come up to de-
mand, the warm weather with the ever-
lasting sunshine are doing their best to make
the buds come out.

Callas and cut Lilies have gone up a Httle;
Freesias are coming short in stem and in
lesser quantities. Some nice Snapdragon and
Mignonette are sometimes offered and bring
a fair price. The common run of these ;
flowers is way below medium and hard to
sell at any price.

Paperwhites are a drug on the market.
Other Narcissi are in abundant supply and
have not changed in price. The demaud is
good. Tulips are not much in e\'idence, nor
in demand. They bring from 4c. to 8c., and
10c. for the best Darwins.

Sweet Peas have sold well these last two
days; extra good flowers brought 4c. easy.
Pansies and Violets are same as last week,
Cattleyas are in fair demand and fair supply
at last week's price. There is, as always, a
good supply of indoor greens. The demand
is normal.

News Notes

Harold Patten of Patten & Co., Car-
nation growers of Tewksbury, has re-
turned from a visit to his parents^ who
have made their home in Lakeland, Fla.

F. J. McNamara, salesman for the
Montrose Greenhouses, is back again at
his post in the Flower Exchange Market
after undergoing an operation for appen-
dicitis three weeks ago. Upon hia re-
turn he found good reason to appreciate
and believe in the good will and friend-
ship of the boys in the market for they
presented him with a monstrous basket of
fruit, etc., decorated with flowers. Harry
Ward and Albert Strmnp delivered the
basket with the compliments of the donors
at Mr. McNamara's home. During Mr.
McNamara's absence m the hospital P. J.
Coogan substituted for him very ably.

Neil E. Boyle of Maiden has a lot of
about 5000 Easter Lilies which it would
be hard to beat for size and general excel-
lence. He has had every one engaged for '
delivery weeks before Easter. His sev-
eral Rose houses are also in the pink of
perfection.

At the next meeting of the Gardeners
and Florists Club of Boston on April 20,
B. F. Letson, manager of "CarboneV fine
store on Boylston St., will lecture on <
"Floral Arrangement," and will give suit-
able demonstrations. This lecture ahotdd ii
prove timely and valuable.

The meeting of the Florists and Gar^ i'
deners Club in April will take place on ^
Wednesday, the 20th, instead of on April I,
19, the regular date, because the latter is
"Patriot's Day," the anniversary of the <*
battle of Lexington, and is celebrated as a •
holiday in Boston and vicinity.

Wm. Miller and daughter of Lynn, who i'
sailed for Porto Rico on Feb. 2, arrived "
home again safely on Saturday, March 18. ■

A very creditable exhibit of bulbs in
flower was made by Miss Margaret A. \
Rand of Cambridge in Horticultural Hall i'
last Saturday. She was awarded both 'i
first and second prizes on her Tulips, Nar- ■
cissi and Hyacinths.

E. D. Kaulbach & Son, the most promi* t'
nent florists in Maiden, are building a
large garage in the rear of their stoie. ^
The building is 250ft. long and over lOOft. 'i
deep. It fronts on Exchange St., is two '
stories high and constructed, in the most '
modern style, of reinforced concrete. There ■
is room for between three and four hun- i'
dred cars. The greenhouses, imder the '
careful management of J. L. Lamb, are in •
excellent condition. The Rose and Car* ■-■'
nation houses have been producing better •
than ever. The firm does an immense ■•
business in bedding and other plants, of
all of which large blocks are coming on. •

A joint meeting of the Allied Florists "
Industries of Boston and New England ■
was held in the City Club on March 18,
6.30 p.m. for the purpose of forming defi-
nite plans for local and national pub-
licity. The attendance was not as lai^e
as might be or had been expected, in fact,
there were not thirty florists present and
of these the majority were growers. Re-'
tailers, wholesalers and commissiomnen, ,
for whom especially the meeting was ar-
ranged and planned, were the minority.

The speakers of the evening were J. F.
Ammann and George Asmus of the Na- ,
tional Publicity Committee of the S. A.

F. and 0. H.. The two gentlemen were
the guests of the meeting and incidentally
told what is being done in other sections
of the country for publicity and how it ;
is accoinplished.

G. and F. Club Meeting

About 100 members were present at
the monthly meeting of the Gardeners and

of the allied horticultural and agricultur-
al interests next year.

Lengthy discussion took place concern-
ing the proposed dinner to be given some-
time during the week of the National Rose
Show, by the combined horticultural in-
terests of Boston, to the following four
national society presidents hailing from
New England: Thomas Roland, president.
Society of American Florists; W. T>. How-
ard, president American Carnation So-
ciety; Albert C. Burrage, president Ameri-
can Orchid Society; and Wm. N. Craig,
president National Gardeners Ass'n. On
motion by Herman Bartsch it was voted
to leave the matter in the hands of the
following committee: W. J. Kennedy,
James Methven and A. K. Rogers, who
will do all in their power to secure the
cooperation of other clubs and societies in-
terested.

The officers and members of the club
congratulated Secretary Wm. N. Craig
upon his recovery from his recent illness;
all were sincerely glad to see their friend
at his post again. Seven new names were
proposed for membership and accepted.
At the conclusion of the official business.
President Judd introduced Robert Came-
ron, superintendent of the extensive and
celebrated "Crane Estate" at Ipswich,
Mass. Mr. Cameron is a most popular
club member of many years standing and
extremely well qualified to do justice to
the subject of his lecture, viz.: "Annuals in
the Flower Garden." There are probably

The Market

Mar. 21. — At this writing the mar-
ket is flooded with flowers and the tem-
perature is up in the eighties. Everybody
is waiting for the end of the week. The
heat is playing hob with the bulbous
stock. Most of it will be done for and
gone before Friday and Saturday. This
applies to Hyacinths, Tulips and Daffo-
dils. Lilies will hold. Roses are in full
supply. There is a medium supply, of
Carnations and at this date these are the
only items that have advanced. Sweet
Peas are everywhere. Practically every
other seasonable flower is plentiful.

The Newest Notes

S. S. Pennock sails on the Niuew
Amsterdam March 26. His purpose in
going to Europe is to take up relief work,
and he will be located in Berlin with the
American Friend's Relief Service until
some time in October. Mrs. Pennock and
his two younger daughters will join him
later in the Summer to return with him in
the Fall.

The Leo Niessen Co. is handling an im-
mense amount of shipping business this
week.

few gardeners who have such an intimate
knowledge of flowers for the garden and
who also know, from long experience, how
to make the most of their beauty charac-
teristics and peculiarities. There are few
points connected with the history, geo-
graphical distribution, homes, treatment,
use, arrangement and behavior of an-
nuals that the speaker did not take up
and explain in his own quiet and in-
structive way. He dwelt at length and
most thoroughly on the subject of color
harmonies and contrasts and on how to
provide for a succession of flowers in the
garden from the appearance of the first
bulbous flowers until the time when the
ground freezes in the late Fall. The
speaker was given a rising vote of thanks.

Mr. Cameron had to answer a good
many questions at the conclusion of his
talk. Being asked when to start the seed
of the red annual Poppy, so as to have it
in flower for Memorial Day, he said he
thought that early in March would do.
Another query was as to when to cut the
flowers and how to treat them so they
would keep some time. His advice is to
cut the flowers just before they open and
to remove the stamens so that self fertili-
zation cannot take place. Treated in this
way the flowers should keep for some time.

The exhibition table was well supplied
with cut flowers. The awards were as fol-
lows: Wm. N. Craig, Tropasolum Lobbia-
num "Spitfire ; " Tulip *Tje Reve; " Nar-
cissus poeticus ornatus and poetaz, "As-
pasia," also Narcissus, "Flag of Leyden,"
and "Silver Spur;" Verbena "Sutton's
Pink" — ^vote of thanks. James Meth-

ven a vase of Antirrhinum. 'Thelps*
White" — ^vote of thanks. James Donald, a
display of Carnation 'Xaddie"; Petunia
"Rosy Morn" ; Sweet Peas ; Marguerite
Carnations; Primula vulgaris: Narcissus
"Sir Watkin"; Reseda, "Parisian"; Snap-
dragons and Pansies — ^vote of thanks.

Mr. Craig mentioned that Narcissus

poetaz "Aspasia" has behaved very well

■ at Faulkner Farm, where, planted out-

I doors, it has never, since it was set out

seven years ago, failed to come up finely

in the Spring.

Holyoke, Mass.

Prospects are very bright for a busy
Easter with the florists. The few sunny
, days after so much dark weather did won-
1 ders toward developing backward Lilies;
I the mild spell al.so increased the cut flower
supply, as well as starting all outside trees,
I shrubs, and bulbs. From predictions now,
I a cold wave is on the way, to stay with
I us until after the holiday; this will
mean a lot of extra work wrapping plants.
Easter Lilies will be a bit scarce; they
are retailing at 50c. per bud. Pot Roses
will be very scarce. Bougainvilleas. Genis-
tas and Spiraeas are of exceptional qual-
ity. There will be an abundance of panned
bulbs.
) Sinclair, the florist, is more fortunate
than most of us, in the fact that he has
a quantity of well flowered Azaleas.

Cut flower prices have stiffened up con-
siderably. N. W. B.

Which Man Do You
Think Is Crazy?

^ Any fire insurance agent -will write
you a policy protecting you against
loss of fire, at a very low rate.
What really happens is that hia
company bets you about 200 to 1
that you won't have a fire.
ijAnd yet, knowing that the chances
are 200 to 1, or even greater, against
your having a fire, you think it's
mighty good business to take out a
poScy, and you sure are right!
' .jNow, along comes the Skinner

your crops against dry weather.

wishing for rain. It's so year after
year.

Occasionally, there are years
when too much rain falls. But there
are infinitely more "average" ye^s,
when there is too little. It is well to
remember that there are "dry"
years as well as wet ones.

You don't call a man who insures
his house against fire, crazy.
But what about the grower who
won't insure his crop against dry
weather ?

You'd be surprised to know how
Kttle your first ipolicy will cost.

FRITZ BAHR'S WRINKLES

Sow Asters now for the early and
midseason crop; light pink, blue and
white are the main colors for cut
flower piiirposes and it is better to have
them separate than to use mixed seed.
Sow Canterbury Bells and English
Wallflower seed. Still time for sowing
perennial seed and if you have a
frame with a little bottom heat, so
much the better. Seedlings and rooted
cuttings of double and single Petunias
potted up now, will make nice plants

by tlie end of May. You can also sow
seed of Petunias for the plants you
want to sell in June. Just a few more
days and the first Dahlia tubers and
IGadioli bulbs can be planted out. Have
you got enough of each? If you have
any to spare make use of the F. E.
There is nothing like reading every
issue from cover to cover if you want
to keep up with the times and be re-
minded of timely hints to help you do
your work and do it better.

BAXTER'S NURSERY WRINKLES

Stock purchased now for filling or-
ders should be for amounts in excess
of the quantity needed. If it is
"heeled in" where it may be seen by
customers who visit the nursery, you
may sell it promptly and save the ex-
pense of planting out when the shipping
season is over. In fact, even though
they purchase expecting to plant out,
many nurserymen are glad to "let

it go" if a customer wants it and
then order another lot for planting
out. Purchase these "shorts" now from
advertisers in The Exchange and if
you have some items you're "long"
on, an ad in these columns will find
buyers. NOW is the time to move
your stock; not when the shipping sea-
son draws to a close and demands fall
off.

THE DIENER TOMATO
Increase your Tomato yield one hundred per cent
by raising the new Diener Tomato; 30-40 tons of
ripe fruit to the acre.

This Tomato was raised last year all over the
United States and Canada with the greatest satis-
faction.

As smooth as an Apple and of a magnificent
dark red color. Single Tomatoes weigh up to 3 lbs.
each. The flesh is more solid than that of any other
Tomato. The fruit contains very little seed and is
solidly filled out. This Tomato is free of the acid
taste and for dehydrating, catsup and canning it
is the best Tomato in existence to-day.

The Diener Tomato is blight-resisting as well as
drought-resisting. It will not crack from the rain
and will not rot while lying on the ground in wet
weather. This Tomato will grow in almost any
kind of soil and it commences to ripen the first part
of August.

It is the greatest novelty in the Tomato line, and
it will soon crowd out the present varieties from the
market by its far superior qualities.

Price of the Diener Tomato Seed: Sample pkg.
25o.; one quarter of an acre, pkg. 50c., one acre,
pkg. $1.50.

GREENHOUSES

50-foot King Semi-Iron House

Some folks think that a good semi-iron house cannot be built
as wide as fifty feet.

This house is seven years old now and you see is just as good
as ever.

The way we build them they last a lifetime.

Not as much shade as some steel frame houses.

When you think of Good Greenhouses, think of "KING."

Points On This 25-Foot Private House
That Are Worth Considering

Bear this in mind when you think of the cost of a
greenhouse. Regardless of how wide or narrow it is,
the cost is the same for the sides and foundation.
That's why a house 1 1 ft. wide seems to cost all out of
proportion to one 18 ft. wide. So, when you compare
the 18 ft. wide house with one 25 ft. wide, you are not
surprised to see that it actually costs less in com-
parison to the 18 ft. one.

Furthermore, you get so much more for what you
pay. More height to the ridge, which means better
ventilation. More benches, which means more room.

Two center benches, instead of one, for tall plants.
Three walks, instead of two, making working the
benches easier.

Just to prove to you by looks, let us send you in-
terior photos of both 18- and 25-ft. wide houses.

If the house can be only 25 or 33 ft. long, the 18-ft.
width is in better proportion. But from 50 ft. in
length, up, the 25-footer is equally good looking.

Let us send you a booklet, telling all about the
three widths mentioned, and giving you some interest
points on our standard way of making our standard
houses.

AGERATUM FRASERII

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to our customers that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about S to 10
in. high and was covered the entire seaaon with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2^.2 in. across, while the individual flower would be K of a°
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in, across. It can easily be used with Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Beinc an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

Spring Show Massachusetts Horticultural Society
Annual Exhibition American Rose Society

Judging irom the cxti-iisive plans made tor this com-
lination exhibition which is to he held in Horticultural
lall, Boston, Mass., from .-Xpril G to 11). it has assumed
he importance of a reallv national show and is appar-
■iitly meeting with the interest which such an event
oreshadows.

Certainly, if the thousands of dollars which are of-
ered as awards to competitors, in addition to numer-
lUS medals and other trophies, are taken into considera-
ion, the combined e.shibitioii will perhaps equal in ex-
ensiveness and aUractive features that of the Inter-
lational Flower Show just concluded at New York.

Now that the stage is set and all plans completed
here is really nothing further to say until the event
tself occurs save and except to advise all who can
■ossibly make the pilgrimage to Boston during the five
ays the show is open to be there — for this much wc
an safely assert: it will be well worth any interested
:ian's time to be there and see for himself all that is
itest and best, not . only in' Roses and orcliids, but in
laiiy other lines of commercial and Spring blooming
owers and plants.

The officials certainly expect it to be a winner; the
lOecial committees of both societies are reporting re-
iponses and interest in the competitions as coming in
reely from various sections of the country. The Rose
xhibit is expected to prove the finest ever seen in New
England, possibly, too, ever seen in any other part of
le country. All the recent introductions will be shown
! ith prospects of new varieties not yet introduced.

Boston orchid shows are famous the country over
:id the display in connection with the Rose show will
's the equal of anything ever seen in Boston. Many
;w named and unnamed varieties will be on e.-chibition
■om the Cooley, Burrag;e and other orchid greenhouses.

One hundred plants of the Kurume Azaleas from the

)hn S. Ames estate. North Easton, will be one of the
j'ature displays in the main hall.

The lecture program, prepared and conducted under

le auspices of the American Rose Society is as fol-

ws: The lectures are at 3.30 p.m.

Wednesday, April 6. — "Roses and Rose Gardens," il-
I lustrated — Robert Pyle, president American Rose
I Society.

Thursday, April 7. — "The Rose in America," illus-
trated— J. Horace McFarland, editor American
Rose Annual.
I Friday, April 8. — "Roses in Europe and -America" —
j C. H. Totty, treasurer American Rose Society.
[Saturday, April 9. — "Suggestions on the Culture of
Hardy Roses"— Wm, N. Craig, Faulkner Farm,
' Brookline, Mass.

i Sunday, April 10. — "Rambler Roses in New England"
, — Prof. Frank A. Waugh, Mass. Agri. College.
'For schedules and further information apply to sec-
tary Mass. Hort. Society, Horticultural Hall, Boston,

ass.

llortieullural Hall, the noble building of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, has housed many grand
exhibitions. The great orchid show, which was staged
there last Spring, still lingers vividly in the memory of
all who were fortunate enough to take in its beauties.
It certainly is some undertaking to try and outdo last
year's effort, and, yet, from present indications, it ap-
pears that the .American Kose Society, which in con-
nection with the Mass. Hort. Society's Spring exhibi-
tion, is going to occupy the building, is doing its utmost
to accomplish just that. While at this moment all the
arrangements have not been finally settled one may
gather from the outlines of the plans that great sur-
prises are in store for the prospective visitors. From
the number and quality of the entries already booked
it can be believed that the big building will be ta.xed to
its utmost and, judging from the energy displayed in
advertising the event, it is reasonable to predict an un-
precedented attendance. Beautifully executed and col-
ored posters are displayed all over the city and sur-
rounding towns; the elevated and subway stations have
been thoroughly looked after, and newspaper notices
and advertisements are lavishly provided for.

The show is to be run from April 6 to 10 inclusive.
It will consist of the exhibition by the American Rose
Society and of the Annual Spring Show by the Mass.
Hort. Society. Beside these two events there will be
some most extensive and beautiful exhibits from the
finest collections of orchids in the country. A collection
of the rare and little known "Kurume" Azaleas from
Japan ; discovered within the last few years by our
celebrated plant explorer, E. H. Wilson of the Arnold
.Arboretum, will also be staged, beside an unusual num-
ber of other notable novelties.

The greatest feature of the show, undoubtedly, will
be the Rose gardens of which, so far, two have been
entered and made provisions for. The e-xhibitors are
Thomas Roland, the noted Rose grower of Nahant and
the Breck-Robinson Nursery Co. of Lexington. Need-
less to mention that these parties are extremely well
qualified to meet or surpass all expectations, and that
they will leave nothing undone that will crown their
efforts with the award of the first prize, consisting of
$1000 and a gold medal ; even the second prize of $500
and silver medal is worth striving for.

These Rose gardens will cover nearly 1000 sq. ft.
each. The Breck-Robinson exhibit is to occupy the
center of the large hall and will be set off against a
background of evergreens by a box border. The Rose
beds will be planted in green sod, and gravel walks will
provide passages for the visitors. On each of the two
longer sides are situated two beautifully constructed
pergolas which are to support climbing Roses.

Mr. Roland's exhibit will be situated at the end of
the hall, where it will cover a space 30ft. wide. Details
of its layout and construction cannot be given now but,
when an experienced exhibitor and crack grower like

Mr. Roland goes into a competition, the outcome and
effect are sure to be worth admiring.

.Other awards, well worth striving for are S200 for
a display of Rose plants, any or all classes, arranged
fur effect, not to exceed 250 sq. ft. Second prize, $100.
Two prizes of $100 and $50 are offered for an arbor
arrangement of climbing Roses. Then there are, be-
side a number of other valuable prizes, two awards for
$150 and $75 for twelve specimens climbing Roses, not
less than six varieties, and so on down the long list.

In the orchid exhibits will be held a friendly competi-
tion between such growers and amateurs of national
renown as Julius Roebrs of Rutherford, N. J.; Albert
C. Burrage, Orchidvale, Beverly Farms; Arthur N.
Cooley of Pittsfield, Mass., and Chas. J. McCormick,
Edge Hill, Pa., and others. A large number of prizes,
ranging from $200 down, together with gold and silver
medals, are provided, and a battle royal mav be looked
for.

Display of a collection of cut blooms to cover 30O
sq. ft. and to be staged on Friday, April 8, and for
which three prizes are offered, respectively $500, $30»
and $200, has been amplified to allow the use of decora-
tive green of any kind including plants. In making the
award the quality of bloom, artistic arrangement and
general effect will be considered.

The Walter Hunnewell estate, Wellesley. Mass.,
T. D. Hatfield, supt., exhibits a display of orchids, cov-
ering 50 sq. ft. and a display of trained Roses, cov-
ering 200 sq. ft. The same exhibitor will also show
again the wonderful .Azalea "Louise Humiewell," whic&
alone is worth going hundreds of miles to see.

The beautiful Kurume Azaleas, which were seen for
the first time in this country last year, will be showia
by John S. Ames of North Easton.

The above is only a partial and very incomplete list
of the exhibits to be staged. All the many products of
commercial and private gardeners will be encountered
in endless variety and arrangement.

The following gentlemen have been appointed as
judges, additional to the list of the plant and flower
committee of the Mass. Hort. Society ; Eber Holmes,
Chas. H. Totty, Wm, F. Gude, E. Allan Peirce. For
judging the orchid classes: Alfred J. Loveless, Edwin
Jenkins and John Mutch. The committee wishes to
announce that, in judging the large classes of 'Roses
special attention will be paid to the artistic arraiigement
of the exhibits.

A well-known ladies' orchestra will perform every-
afternoon and evening. A large bulletin, containing a
complete list of all the books on Roses which are to ber
found in the libraries of the Mass. Hort. Society asxE
in the Arnold Arboretum, also of all other Rose Ktera-
ture, has been printed and will be at the show for free
distribution.

The American Rose Society has provided handsome-
zinc vases, surrounded with white enameled wickerwork^
for the exhibition of the cut blooms.

Many of the foremost rosarians and horticuffurists
of the country will honor the show with their preseiKe.
Among these we will mention Robert Pyle, president of
the American Rose Society; Dr. Van Fleet, J. Horace
McFarland, Wallace Pierson, Chas. H. Totty, F. R. Pier-
son, Thomas Roland, J. K. M. L. Farquhar and others.

Secretary's report was read and ordered filed.

The editor reported that first copies of the Rose an-
^al would be ready March 21 and the Handbook early
ij April.

lit was moved seconded and carried that Benjamin
Iimmond be constituted secretary emeritus, and that

I be invited to attend all meetings of the executive
cnmittee and of the society.

'VIr. Pennock reported progress on the Portland ex-
(]-sion. To have a special train 125 persons are neces-
9y. For less than this number special cars can be

II for each unit of 24 persons. Trip of 35 days to
c;t about $700. There will be an opportunity to leave
t' party at Portland and return home independently.
I was recommended that a slip-in for envelopes be
Iinted, giving information about this trip and that this
f inserted in all mail leaving the society's offices.

fhe following arrangement was decided upon for the
Csemination of the Van Fleet Roses:

That the American Rose .Society arrange with the several
Psons or tirma agreeing to have distributed to them prepa-
ring stock or material of one of the new Van Fleet Roses,
mqual quantity, for propagating.

That opporttinity be offered to participate in such dis-
tribution to members of the American Rose Society who are
Rose growers, who issue a retail catalogue, who will agree to
the conditions as to naming, pricing, etc., as arranged, with
the Department of Agriculture; and who will further agree to
propagate from the material assigned, to offer prominently
in their catalogs, the resulting plants in two-year form, and
to pay to the American Rose Society at the end of one selling
year, as royalty, 25 per cent of the retail price as agreed
upon, making a deposit on account of such royalty of SoO as
a guarantee of good faith, not less than 30 days prior to the
distribution of such propagating material.

'That the Committee on New Roses arrange with the par-
ticipating persons or firms for uniform distribution and
offering of such Roses."

The appointment of judges for the Boston Show
was left to the Committee on Commercial Cut Flower
Interests, W. R. Pierson, chairman.

The silver medal offered by the Garden Club of
America was accepted with thanks and offered as a
sweepstakes for the best vase of 50 cut Roses in com-
petitive classes at Boston show.

National Flower Growers Association having indi-
cated its desire to adopt American Rose Society's stand-
ard of judging cut Roses, permission was gladly granted
them to do so.

A letter from Federation Nationale des Syndicats
Horticoles de France was read, and it was moved, sec-
onded and carried that the secretary write this organi-
zation asking whether the American Rose Society might
become affiliated with it.

John C. Wister, Secretary.

Where the Debt Lies. — "I observe," said the fiend, "that Mr.
Rockefeller says he owes much of his success to golf." "It
wae my opinion," said the low-brow, "that most men owe
much of their golf to success." — St, Louis Republic. — P.

The Dahlia Situation

Business appears to be favoring Dahlia growers gen-
erally, that is, those who sell at retail report most ets-
couragingly on sales to date. This we gather from iis-
quiries recently sent out from this office.

One large grower reports being over 200 per cenS
ahead of 1920 for February and up to March 18, its
comparison with his sales for the same period in 1920.
Another reports that he is sold out of all wholesale
stock and that his retail trade was never better. And
so on.

We repeat again what we have previously written
to the effect that it was (fully apparent that the people
of the country at large were taking to Dahlias as to no
other one outdoor flowering bulb or root, and that the
outlook of Dahlia sales was as bright as it could pos-
sibly be, cautioning the Dahlia growers, however to the
effect that they must see to it that their customers are
fully satisfied with the stocks sent to them. Carrying
out this precept it is safe to say that the Dahlia with alf
its variations of color, form and size, has the brightest
kind of a future before it. The Dahlia growers should'
lay much of this improved situation to the work of the
American Dahlia Society and in no other way coald
they show their good feeling toward the American Dah-
lia Society than by becoming members thereof.

Which Way Did She Mean It ? — Mrs. B. met Mary Smitb,.
whom she had recommended to a neighbor for a situation.
"How are you getting on at your new place?" asked Mrs-. B.
"Very well, thank you," was the reply. "I am glad to hear
it," remarked Mrs. B. "Your employer is a very nice lady,,
and you cannot do too much for her." "I don't mean toj.
ma'am," replied Maxy. — Answers- (London)). — P.-

satisfied with the results they produce and come back for more the next year.

Then, too, a satisfied customer tells his friends about the excellent results he has had with our seeds and
more buyers are added to our lists as a result. That is how our business has grown. We have striven to
always supply the best seeds— our customers have done our advertising. To our satisfied patrons we would
say that our service in the future will be of the same high class as it has been in the past, and to those who
have never purchased seeds from us we say, give us a trial— you will then join the ranks of those who have

LIGHT ^

— The subject of the employment of
ortiBcinl IiRht in the development of plant
life while by no meuns a new idea, has
not been given the experimental study
which its importance calls for. The writer of the article herewith, Mr. H. Lungelcr, who is becom-
ing well known to our readers on account of the value of his recent contributions to these columns,
makes a startling prediction when he asserts "ihttl within five years from now (1921) all modern
greenhouses will be provided with systems to produce artificial sunlight." * ♦ * ^^ ^i]| ^p.
preciutc hearing from others who have given attention to what may well be looked upon as a com-
ing factor in greenhouse work. For instance would artificial light solve the problem of bud drop in
Sweet Peas?

**=i

THE forcing of bulbous stocks in greenhouses in
the United States, fi - that matter in almost every
country, has not received that amount of inven-
:ive attention which has created such wonderful ad-
^•ancement in other lines of horticulture. It seems to
)e one of those issues which lie dormant — the usual
"ulcs are followed ; the usual results obtained. It is
rue that these results have generally been so satisfac-
ory that there was no specially pressing demand or
lesirc for impro\'ement, but when things go wrong, as
i:is happened in many cases this year, there is a decided
evival of interest noticeable, and so, through misfor-
iine, the way may be shown for some compensating
cature. Forcing bulbs is interesting; to many florists
t is fascinating, and quite profitable if it is done skil-
ully. The same is true, really, of all other green-
louse products. Insight into the habits, peculiarities
;nd requrements of bulbous stock, together with skill
in handling these stocks, makes of the forcing of bulbs
list as much of a profitable science as Rose growing
nd Carnation growing have become a science, in a
ense.

I In two articles in recent issues of The Florists' E.x-
H.VNGE I have indicated ceitain possibilities in the
reatment of bulbous stock before it is brought into
lie greenhouses, and in the present study I hope to
oint out something regarding indoor treatment which
lay welllead to profitable exploitation.
i When Springtime comes in Holland nearly all bulb-
jus stocks planted the Autumn before peep through
iie covering at about the same time. The difference in
me between the appearance of the first red or yellow
loints of early Tulips and those of Darwin Tulips is
jery little, if any at all. The early Tulips, in the course
:f a week or ten days, spread their leaves and in an-
'ther while they are in bloom. The Darwin Tulips,
'.Dwever, while they also unfurl their leaves, seem to
[ and still a considerable time or to advance only very
owly, with the result that they bloom from four to
X weeks later than their early relatives. Why is it
at the one class appearing at practically the same time
the other, develops so much more slowly? It can
'rdly be a question of temperature only, for Darwin
iilips indoors do not respond to increased temperature
the same degree as early Tulips do. It is most likely,
Tiost certainly the case, that the Darwin Tulips wait
r more light (longer days) before they can come to
e flowering stage. The construction of the leaves of
ints differs materially as to ability to absorb the light
lich is necessary for the growth of the plant. Some
ints "see" very well, others very poorly, with hun-
eds of grades and variations. When, years ago, I
mted to bloom some Darwin Tulips indoors, and pre-
red to treat them like I had previously treated early
Jlips, a friend said to me, "Look out, Darwins need
jch more light; put them very close to the window."
is now also well known that Darwin Tulips should
t be planted so closely together as early Tulips, for
other reason than that the leaves need more light
perfect the flowers. The same is true of Lilies,
lich quite frequently are planted too closely; Lilies
ed plenty of room (light) when they are developing
;ir flowers. Evidently, in nearly all bulbous stocks,
t leaves are, after the roots, the most powerful, per-
tent and the most necessary agents of the plant, while
; flowers are the weakest and the most sensitive — in
ntrast with many other plants of which the flowers
rsist in blooming against heavy odds, like annuals
lich reproduce themselves by seed only. Bulbous
mts can dispense with the service of the flowers if
cessary for, if the leaves remain intact, the plant is
isured of a new lease on life and can make offsets
jam the bulbs as well. Therefore, if anything goes
long with the forcing of bulbous stock, the flowers
i: generally the first to show it.

jThe growth of plants, as is well known, is influenced
1 temperature, moisture and soil conditions, but it is
U so fully appreciated, except in scientific circles, that
1; length of the day through which the plant passes in
jy stage also shares in the general health and be-
|vior of the plant. Especially the flowering stage of
Y- plant is sensitive to the supply of light received by
\- leaves. Certain important chemical processes can
I ly take place in the leaves if they receive sufficient
■ht, and the- availability of light governs, to a large ■

extent, perhaps much more largely than many florists
now suspect, the proper development of the flowers.
VVe know that Carnations and Roses are scarce at
Christmas time, especially after a period of dark days
;ind that they will come faster and better later on when
there is more light available. Bud drop in Sweet Peas
usually occurs during or after a period of dark days.
It is a "long day" plant, just as are Roses and Carna-
tions.

Most of us laughed when, some years ago, the news
got out that with the use of electric light hens had
been induced to shell out eggs twice a day. While this
was not exactly true, except in a few abnormal in-
stances, it is now common knowledge that by switching
on the light at 3 a.m. in Winter the chickens are in-
duced to scratch and feed five hours before they would
get busy if allowed to await daylight, with the result

At the Eighth International (N. Y.) Flower Show

Co., Richmond, Ind.

that the modern egg machine produces more eggs. In
fact, when properly taken care of this way hens will lay
in Winter as well as in the Spring and Summer. It
was very simple once we knew how it worked.

We all know how a plant or a flower turns to the
light, even to artificial light, how the flowers open up
under a lamp, how fast plants draw up in exhibition
rooms which are open until 11 p.m. This is not due
to the heat generated by lamps, but to the effect of
artificial light on plants and flowers.

Two gentlemen in England have recently made experi-
ments with Soya Beans. This plant blooms in England
in the Fall when the days are short but, by the manipu-
lation of shades, the experitnenters succeeded in making
the plant bloom months before its natural time. An-
other species of plant was induced by them to postpone
its flowering for a long time by withholding part of the
supply of daylight. These experiments proved beyond
a doubt that the length of day is a decided factor in the
flowering stage of plants.

There are many other indications to strengthen the
suggestion that all plants which we wish to advance in
greenhouses and which, in their natural state, bloom in
the open (not in the shade) during the Summer months,
require not only Summer temperature, soil, and mois-
ture, but also Summer daylight hours to develop quickly
and properly. Myself, I am so honestly convinced that
the addition of hours of light to our short Winter days
will have an appreciably favorable effect on the grow-
ing of most greenhouse stocks, besides bulbous stocks.

that I would stake a great deal on the statement that
within five years from now all modern greenhouses
\yill he provided with systems to produce artificial sun-
light, just as they are already provided witli artificial
ventilating and heating appliances, and that the plants
at stated days or periods will be fed artificia.1 sunlight
just as well as artificial fertilizer. There is no reason
why a plant should not accept artificial light as a sub-
stitute for sunlight just as it accepts artificial heat for
sun heat. It is all the one and same thing anyway.

Experiments will discover for us what the best light
will be for the purpose, as soon as the growers wake
u|i to the real importance of light, in addition to heat
and water. — The modern greenhouse is already sufficient
evidence of the realization that clear light is a big fac-
tor in Rose and Carnation growing.

The mere switching on of the lights at 5 p.m. and
turning them off at 7 a.m. will not likely result in any-
thing but failure. So doing could not be classed as a
sensible experiment. Plants appear to need darkness
just as human beings and animals need a time of rest.
Quite likely, in conformity with nature, the bulbous
plants need less light when they are small, increasing
the requirement of it as they grow; again, other plants
may grow faster and better if supplied from the begin-
ning with more light than nature normally would sup-
ply them with. Many are the growers who have brought
out the latent powers of development in plants, such as
size, color, increase of petals, earliness, lateness, etc.

A few small experiments made at home have already
shown me that bulbous stock grown in pots responds to
artificial light. For instance, I placed some pots of
Hyacinths (which were showing buds Sin. above the
pots), under a blue electric light (so-called sunlight
lamp) from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. and observed that these
Hyacinths advanced much more rapidly than some
Hyacinths of the same variety in the same state of
growth, but which were not given the extra seven hours
of artificial light. I kept both sets at a temperature of
about 5S deg. and allowed them all the natural light I
could provide during the day.

My facilities of investigation are rather primitive
and my time is taken up with other phases of the bulb
business, but I would ask American forcers of Dutch
bulbs to spend a little money installing a comer in a
greenhouse where the light can be switched on over
part of a bendi and there try out the idea of increas-
ing the supply of light on some stock which is forming
flowers. I think the light blue light will be found the
best, but other colors could be tried. It may be better to
lengthen the day by adding to the normal hours of light,
or it may be that the effect of the early Summer morn-
ing hours may be produced through the employment of
artificial light after the plants have had their normal
rest.

I would suggest Darwin Tulips as the stock to ex-
periment with as offering the best opportunity for com-
parison, because we can compare results not only with
Darwins grown the usual way, but with the fast grow-
ing early Tulips as well. Growers of other lines of
plants would naturally use their own favorites for these
trials.

Cold Storage Treatment of Dutch Bulbs

With regard to cold storage treatment of Dutch bulbs,
discussed in the article entitled "On the Threshold," in
The Florists' Exchange of March 5, I am pleased to
report that the Heermance Cold Storage Company of
New York voluntarily offers its cooperation to any who
wish to place cases of Dutch bulbs under different tem-
peratures. As these experiments can be made at slight
expense I hope that many bulb forcers will join nie in
testing out the possibilities of cold storage treatment
of Dutch bulbs before planting. H. Langeler.

Ohio District

George Bate, secretary of this district, with offices
at 231 High ave., Cleveland, tells us that the work of
organizing the Ohio district will be rushed now that
Easter work is over. The first organization meeting
was held at Youngstown, March 31. This is to be
followed by others at Toledo, on the evening of April
7 ; at Springfield on the afternoon of April 13 ; at Day-
ton that same night, and at Cincinnati on the night of
April 13.

Successful meetings have already been held at Cleve-
land and Columbus. The officers and temporary di-
rectors of the Ohio District will attend the various
meetings noted.

".^fter our most strenuous week in the year," writes
.\. L. Miller of Jamaica, N. Y., "I celebrated Easter
Sunday afternoon by resting up and found time to
glance over The Florists' Exchange. * * * I must
confess that to the support of the trade papers and The
ExcH.\NGE in particular, is partly due my success. Hop-
ing that you and your staff' had a most pleasant Easter,
an.d with my kindest regards, I remain, etc., etc."

Notes from Abroad

The retail aeed catalogs from the United
States are now mostly to hand. Speak-
ing generally, they are quite up to their
usual high standard as regards finish and
illustrations, indeed, in the latter there are
some very good developments, but there
is in many cases a noticeable shrinkage
in size. The paper shortage and increased
costs of printing would appear to be even
more sliontily felt un your side than on
this, and that, Mr. Editor, is saying a
good deal.

From the Southern regions it is re-
ported that plantations of Beet are re-
stricted and that Carrots have been
placed with difficulty at rather high fig-
ures. Endives, Lettuce, Cabbages and
Kadishes are much the same acreages as
last year, while Leeks and Swiss Chards
are on a very diminished scale. Onion
sowings have not succeeded very well, and
the acreage of the yellow kinds, on ac-
coimt of heavy sales of bulbs, are con-
siderably reduced. On the other hand,
plantations of flower seeds are numerous
and on quite an extended scale compared
with the last few seasons.

Agricultural seed circles are much per-
turbed over the slump which has taken j
place in the values of Red Clover, and
those who bought at the high prices pre-
vailing some time ago are feeling the
draught rather badly.

According to recent reports, labor con-
ditions in Italy do not seem to improve
much. Prom one of the leading Onion
and Cauliflower growers, we understand
that the workpeople there earn something
approaching a dollar an hour and refuse
to work more than five hours a day. Also,
that if by reason of pressure they can be
induced to continue in the fields imtil 7
p.m. it is necessary to provide them with
a free supper. It would seem that a race
of modem Sybarites is developing in those
climatically favored regions.

particular were the largest the company
has ever had during its 12 years of busi-
ness. Mr. MacNiff says that with his
company it was certainly a banner Easter
in plant sales.

Woolgatherer in looking over his notes
made at the recent show, finds this entry,
"Vaughans, get stilts," which reminds him
that on most occasions when he passed the 1
trade stand of this concern, he couldn't
"see for looking." He did, however, event-
ually use his elbows and get a sight of
the great collection of bulbous flowers and
pot plants they had set up for the pur-
pose of showing people they were no one
line specialists. Being something of a
Daffodil crank, the big Van Waverens
Giant, and the dainty Albatross pleased
our promenader greatly.

Jacques Courtine, representing Bremond
Freres, OUioules (var) France, who has
been spending a week in the city after
his Western trip, returned to Europe on
Saturday of last week, sailing for Mar-
seilles, France. Among the callers in
to^vn this week were Charles Guelf, repre-
senting the Jerome B . Rice Seed Co.,

New York Seed Trade

All the latter half of last week and
this week up to the time of our going
to press, business in the seed stores has
been booming. The demand for flower
and vegetable seeds has been extremely
large and insistent, and that for Summer
flowering bulbs, small nursery stock, seed
Potatoes, fertilizers and garden tools al-
most or quite equally large. The force
of employees has been largely increased
in nearly all of the stores and night as
well as day work is now required in
most of them in the endeavor to keep up
with the orders. In spite of this some
of the larger stores are two or three days
behind in the execution of their orders.
The better transportation facilities this
year help greatly in the delivery of the
goods into the hands of buyers, while
fill-in orders are also arriving more
promptly from growers and wholesalers.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports that the
sales last week were both the most numer-
ous and the largest in the aggregate of
the season; there was not only a continued
demand for the smaller seeds which have
been moving well for several weeks, but
the heavier stock also such as seed Pota-
toes and fertilizers were being shipped
out about as fast as they could be brought
into the store.

Robert W. MacNiff, president of the
MacNiff Horticulture Co., Inc., says that
the sales of flowering and foliage plants
in his auction department and at the coun-
ter during the pre-Easter week were ex-
tremely large and that Saturday's sales in

Chicago Seed Trade

That there is more activity in the
counter trade than ever before this early
in the season is the opinion of seedsmen
of many years experience.

According to J. H. Burdett of Vaughan's
Seed Store, Director of the National Gar-
den Bureau, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture officials vouch for the state-
ment that the interest in home gardens
aroused during the war is not subsiding
but growing. This is considered one of
the greatest indirect benefits of the war.

The American Bulb Co. had on exhi-
bition in its windows for Easter some
well grown plants of Lilium formosum
in 6in. pots carrying from 10 to 12 blooms
per plant. These were grown by Ernest
Oechslin, from bulbs supplied by the
A. B. C. With so much complaint as to
the shy blooming qualities of Lilies this
season, it was a treat to many to see
these fine plants.

At a recent meeting of the Commer-
cial Flower Growers of Chicago, R. J.
Windier suggested that the growers peti-
tion the authorities at Washington to
add Holland bulbs to the list of those
iteins of which importation is now pro-
hibited. Bulb stock, he says, has not
proved profitable to growers in the last
two years, being responsible for the
Spring gluts and competing with Ameri-
can-produced flowers to the detriment of
the latter. Peter Pearson, president of
the Chicago Bulb Forcers Association, con-
firmed the statement of Mr. Windier, but
no action was taken in the matter.

C. B. Knickman, representing McHutchi-
son & Co., New York, who is at present
in this city, says in regard to the Holland
bulb situation that there is no occasion
for the Holland growers to worry. They
have all the rest of the world to sell to
as well as all of the United States out-
side of Chicago. Chicago bulb growers,
on the contrary, can buy in no other place
than Holland. As to the importers he
says "They should worry."

Vaughan's Seed Store has an interesting
exhibit in the "Own Your Own Home
Exposition" at the Coliseum. It covers
everything that enters into the selection
of building site and the planning, con-
struction, landscaping and furnishing of
a modem home. Nurserymen are show-
ing some attractive landscape effects for
home gardens and grounds

Seed Trade (Continued from page 789)
Free Seeds and Good Faith

A writer in The Seed World recently-
ventured to express a doubt as to the
good faith of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. While the aeedsman is ex-
pected to furnish details as to purity, etc.,
of his seeds, the various congressmen are
enabled through the Department to dis-
tribute all kinds of seed without any guar-
antee whatever.

The point is a knotty one and, in re-
sponse to an inquiry from the Seed World,
several authoritative people have ex-
pressed their views and it would appear
that in some states the legality of distri-
buting unguaranteed seed is seriously ques-
tioned. Truly, it would be a pretty 'Tiettle
of fish" if some state analyst brought ac-
tion.

that they are ready to deliver at prices
prevailing after lifting. This, however,
is not good bait for the more buyers rush
to book at xmknown prices in the Spring,
the higher will be the invoice price in the
Fall.

Holland Bulbs

According to reports, the British bulb
buyers, like our own, are none too eager
to do their buying at this date. One
writer to the press waxes earcastic, and
declares that buyers have not forgotten
the early tales of great scarcity last year,
with the consequent inflation of prices.

It would seem, too, that some of the
bulb growers are so keen to book orders

California Crop Prospects

Freesia Crop Hardly Normal

From Brown Bulb Ranch, James A.
Brown, general manager, Capitola, Santa
Cruz Co ., comes news that the Freesia
crop will hardly be normal this year be-
cause of the fact that so many bulba had
been planted in low ground last year.
The growers had become accustomed to
dry seasons so did not figure on such a
wet year as has been experienced. Bulbs
from this low ground ■will not run first
class and may have to be put on the mar-
ket at a cut rate. Growers who planted
on high ground should secure about a nor-
mal crop.

Imported Irises Start Ofl WeU

Mr. Brown reports favorably on the
behavior of his Dutch, Spanish and tingi-

tana Irises, of which he made a large im-
portation last year. His plantings of these
covering a number of acres, are now be-
ginning to bloom and make a pretty sight.
There are about thirty varieties, in three
classes, and from present appearances it
looks as though Mr. Brown's venture was
going to have a successful outcome.

Foreign Postal Restrictions

The attention of business houses
throughout the country is being called to
the fact that parcels cannot be sent in-
sured or C. 0. D. to foreign countries.

Business men and concerns having par-
cels to ship to foreign coxmtries should con-
sult their local postmaster as to weight
limits, prohibited shipments, customs and
other information which may affect them
in the transaction of an international mail
business.

High Freight Rates Curtail Business

The relation of present freight rates
to business stagnation is to be taken up
within a few days by President Harding
and his cabinet, who have already dis-
cussed the matter at some length. Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover having sug-
gested the appointment of a committee to
investigate the situation. Unless some re-
lief is afforded in the near future, there
may be a tremendous change in the trans-
portation and manufacturing life of the
country. Unable to provide low cost
products as long as freights remain high,
many manufacturers are believed to be
considering the advisability of moving to
the seaboard or the Mississippi valley,
where they can take advantage of the
lower rates offered by the water carriers.
The present rates are not only pre-
venting the free exchange of commodities,
but are retarding building, affecting agri-
cultural operations and increasing unem-
ployment, it is stated. The railroads are
understood to appreciate fully the seri-
ousness of the situation and several have
already indicated their willingness to take
steps to assist in bringing about a return
to lower freight rates. As a result ship-
pers have been greatly encouraged, and it
has been suggested that a conference be
held between railway executives and mem-
bers of the cabinet. E. A. D.

LonisTilIe, Ky.

Business couldn't have been much better
over Easter than it was this year according
to a number of the local retailers, who claim
that the volume was a surprise and took them
off their feet, as they had not anticipated
anything like the business of last year,
whereas it ran above last year, if anything.

Business came in at about a normal Easter
pace for the earlier part of the week, but
Saturday morning it began coming so fast
that some of the retailers who didn't have
good checking facihties were quickly snowed
under, not knowing how much they had sold,
or how much they had to fill orders with,
resulting in a number of stores closing until
1 o'clock in the afternoon, or for intervals of
a few hours to enable checking up.

Plant sales were enormous, and it is re-
ported that most of the retailers were well
cleaned out, one house reporting that at the
lose it had virtually nothing to offer.

Growers reported that they cleaned up in
fine shape, and through the new plan of
listing long stocks through the clearing house,
it was found that the small grower-retailer
was better able to get rid of long stocks,
while retailers also foimd it much easier to
secure what they needed. Growers have
absolutely no complaint.

Outside stocks coming from Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and other markets
were in excellent shape, although a few Roses
were a little too full blown to send out, but
the percentage as a whole was fine; traffic
conditions were such that stock arrived on
time.

On corsages, several retailers had to quit
taking orders, as demand was so heavy that
although there was probably plenty of stock,
it was found impossible to supply the neces-
sary labor to make them up.

Prices varied somewhat, but the general
run of prices for first-class stock, as charged
by the leading stores, showed Rbses, S4 to
S12; Am. Beautv, S18 to $24; Carnations, $3;
Sweet Peas, S1.50 to S2 a bunch of 25; Cor-
sages, $3 to S5 and up to $20; Lilies, S6 a
doz. plants, SI to SIO and combination bas-
kets up to $26. Violets were scarce as the
season is almost over.

George Schulz, of the Jacob Schulz Co.,
stated that business was considerably larger
than he had expected, but that with the
system of keeping track of stock saleable
and stock sold, it was not necessary to close
the store at any time during the rush, al-
though he quit taking orders for corsages, as
he didn't have enough people to do the work
required. Mr. Schulz said: "I don't believe
that any of us expected the volume we had,
and some of us didn't have as much stock as
we could have sold."

The uptown shops were also very busy
E. G. Reimers & Son Co., and Marrett &
Miller having lights burning well past mid-
night. C. B. Thompson & Co., Fred Haupt,
WiUiam Walker Co., Edith V. Walker &
Brom, and several other downtown houses
had all they could handle.

Baltimore, Md.

The Wholesale Easter Market

Probably the heaviest business ever
handled in this city by the wholesale men
was transacted at Easter. In point of volume
it exceeded all expectations, and more, prices
were not boosted to any very great extent.
Naturally, with so many warm. Spring-like
days, and so much bright weather ten days '
preceding the great holiday, it played havoc
with some advanced stock, and some very
soft unsaleable flowers were shipped in and
sacrificed. This was true of Hyacinths,
Tulips, Sweet Peas, and Violets, and some
late shipments of fancy Emperor Narcissus
found slow sale. Never were so many local
Cattleyas sold, and fancy grade Valley had
a strong demand; some poor quality stock of
the latter was left over.

In Roses the supply and demand was .
steady and prices good. Carnations were
mostly of high-grade and the supply met all
comers. LiHes were in much better supply
than was expected; the local giganteum, and
formosum cut stock was firm and strong,
with hardly a soft flower to be found. Callas
were in good supply and quality was fine.

Gardenias commanded a good price and
received good call. About Violets the less
said, the better; there were some N. Y.
doubles that looked good, but the local singles
just curled up. The local growers could not
take care of the heavy bookings on Sweet
Peas; much stock was shipped in from out-
side. Strange, _ but Calendulas, white
Daisies and Pansies hardly had a call. Snap-
dragon was fine and sold well.

The green goods supply was only lacking
Smilax, which is cut out about here, the out
of town shipments arriving in poor condition.

News Notes

Joe Merritt, chairman of the Enter-
tainment Committee, has not perfected all
of his plans for the great Rose Night, with
the distinguished rosarian, E.Gm-ney Hill,
as the central attraction, speaking on "Roaea
I Have Met at Home and Abroad." The
Club rooms will seat but a few hundred, with
no chance at all for the overflow, so Mr.
Merritt has one of the largest ballrooms in
the city under observation and will likely
close with the management of this auditorium
this week. The present plan is to send six ,
admission cards to each member, in addition
to his own, for distribution to amateur Rose
friends. The Maryland members of the
American Rose Society will be invited, and
a commercial Rose display will be an added
featiure. The jurors in the Rose show will '
be prominent women identified with amateur
Rose circles. Sec'y Patterson will include
any revisions to the proposed plan in his
monthly notice to members.

Squire Hamilton says: "There was so
many bells on the Lily of the Valley, and
they kept ringing so all Friday and Saturday
nights, that they couldn't sleep, so they just
naturally worked both nights through."

In addition to a vast local supply of Easter
plants, the Wholesale Florist and Supply Co.
handled on March 22 three soUd carloads
from Frank E. Cremer, Hanover, Pa.

The following Committee has been ap-
pointed to cooperate and assist at the an-
nual society event, "The Flower Mart," to
be held on May 12. The advisory board of
the Florists' Club consists of Mrs. Isaac H.
Moss, chairwoman; Miss Margaret Graham, i
Miss Stevenson, Miss Grace Vincent, Miss ;

Left-overs from Easter

Leit over Ramblers can be cut back and
either planted out or grown on in pota.
It hardly pays to do this with the large

"R'us, they usually get too big and
, but the Baby Kamblers will de-

' into good stock. Do the same with
lilt licuistas and the Bougainvilleas. Hy-
drangeas if cut back and planted in the
tield, will give you tine stock for potting
up next Fall. If you forced shrubs for
cut flowers, the plants will do nicely for
planting out. You may not want them
for forcing again but, if cut down to
pithin six or eight inches from the ground
Spirieas, Forsythias, Lilacs and others will
.aake from three to four feet of growth
in the field by next Fall. It hardly ever
pays the smaller florist to try to carry
3ver Ericas and other stock requiring a
lot of care. Stock which takes up a lot
:>f space and will only amount to anything
when well attended to, is hard to make
pay on a small scale and it isn't worth
,-our while to bother with a few left over
plants, when the space is wanted for other
things.

About Bedding Stock

The retail grower after Easter, will
mter into three months of the busiest
.;ime of the year, and particularly those
■vho do outside work as a side line.
iVhether wages are going to stay where'

they are or not, to wait for anything to
develop would be wrong; the proper thing
to do is to get at the work and have it
over with. Small pot stuff and rooted cut-
tings when ready to be shifted or trans-
planted, suffer with each day they have to
wait and, whether you use five dollar a
day help or not, it will be money in your
pocket to get at the stock rather than to
wait for a rainy day to come when the men
can't work outdoors. A flat full of Ver-
benas or Salvias, ready to be potted up,
will spoil in a few days if not attended to,
and the only way you can make money
out of the plants is to keep them agoing.
Nothing is more important than to keep
your bedding stock moving; you have only
a few weeks more to get ready. If there
is a chance to get at the repotting and
transplanting, the more help you can put
on it the better the outcome. Don't wait;
get at it.

Geraniums

This is the time your bedding Gera-
niums will get their last or final shift.
Even if your soil is rich, it won't hurt to
mix into it, a generous dose of bone meal,
say a 7in. or Sin. pot-full to a barrow of
soil. The plants, most likely, will have to
remain in the 4in. pots up to June, some
even much later, and by that time they
are in need of additional food from what
there is in the soil. No better fertilizer
than bone for this purpose, and you can

hardly over give an overdose for Gera-
niums. A heavy soil, and firm potting
makes for a stocky growth and large flow-
ers, while a sandy or light soil means a
lot of leaves, soft growth and poor flowers.
For the final shift, you can use the stiff-
est clay as long as you provide enough
drainage. The plants will be all right
and, as they grow, don't overlook giving
them all the room they need. Good Ge-
raniums can't be grown pot on pot; they
have to be spaced by the middle of April
if you want good stock.

Carnations

With many of us, it has not only been
a mild Winter but a remarkable March;
it seems we are fully a month or more
ahead of other Springs, and it looks at
present, as if we were going to plant the
young Carnation stock out earlier than
ever before. However, it is well to go
slow; we have had them freeze before in
the field and that in early May. A light
frost don't do much harm to plants which
have been hardened off, but it can ruin
such as have been taken from the bench
where they were allowed to make a soft
growth. The smaller grower, this year,
can't do better than to bring his plants
to a coldframe with sash protection, re-
moving the sashes on warm days and, later
on, taking them off altogether. If you
have 2%in. pot plants on hand, they are
really better off in a frame for a few weeks

Musings and Moralizings

poUege Training

J. D. Smith, of lUinoia University
lakes out a good case for the student but,
ssiuning that a lad has not the where-
ithal to pei-mit him to take a four-year
3urse (and, there are lots of boys whose
aients cannot support them until they
i-e 20 or more), he must prepare to take
job that will earn him his upkeep. If
;? wants to be a horticulturist he must
lerefore take a job in a garden or a
ursery.

Actually, if every lad desiring to take
; p this class of work took a college course,
lere would be no labor of the ordinary
md.

The private garden, nursery, or florist
itablishment is not run by foremen alone,
lere must be plenty of ordinary labor,
id that is just what the college student
3es not seek to be grouped with. He

: ther wants to be a "boss" on his own

jlack Currants

} The remarks of Howard N. Scarff
I page 599 regarding the above are inter-
tmg, for he states they have a peculiar
tvor relished more in Canada than in

:e United States.

The question arises. Why? Is it because
the Black Currant has never been popu-
larized; does it refuse to grow well, or
is it affected with failings that make it
troublesome?

I cannot believe that the flavor of the
Black Currant as a pie or jam fruit is
objectionable, indeed, I will boldly say
that no anall berry fruit compares with
it either in flavor or medicinal value.

In Great Britain, it is the most sought
after of all fruits for preserving and
many tons of these Currants are shipped
from France and Holland into England.

At one time, England had thousands of
acres devoted to it, and no garden of any
pretensions was without a few bushes;
owing to the devastating mite, the acre-
age has been greaty reduced during the
past 10 years. New plantations, however,
are being made with one or two varieties
that are practically resistant to the mite.

If the people of this country do not
relish Black Currants, it is because they
either have never seen them or have never
tried a good sample. The dry, bony ex-
amples I have seen in some gardens are
certainly no advertisement for the Black
Currant which, compared with White or
Red, always brings 50 to 100 per cent
more in the markets.

Personally, I would willingly let any-
one have all the other jam fruits if I
could have Black Currants.

Regarding the pruning of Currants, Mr.
Scarff scarcely makes himself clear when
he says Reds and Whites fruit on three
and four-year wood. I have handled a
few bushes in my time and, having once
got the framework of the bushes, the
pruning consisted of cutting out all
growths springing from the base imless
wanted as fillers; spurring back all side
growths on main branches, and cutting
back all leaders. These Currants fruit on
spurs and, like the Apple and Pear, do
not require any new wood extension when
once of fair size. As for fruiting on three
and four-year wood only, it is quite a
regular thing for two-year wood to fruit.
As stated, they are strictly spur fruiters
and, when well handled, will yield at al-
most every joint.

The Black, while fruiting on the pre-
vious season's wood, makes most of that
wood in the form of branches from older
wood, and it is only necessary to cut
down old branches to the ground line to
make room for new ones.

Black Currants should never have any
of the branches or laterals partly cut back.

as spurring or tipping results in the plant
running out, i.e., the character of the
bushes is changed so that they bear small-
er foliage and no fruit whatever.

A run out Black Currant is fit for the
fire only, as it will never earn its keep
again.

Boskoop Giant by the way, like all
other varieties other than the French
Black and the newer Seabrook's Black,
are much prone to mite. Whether this
pest has a hold in this country I am not
aware but, in any case, I would warn
anyone planting Black Currant bushes
bearing large globular buds.

Dormant buds when healthy, are point-
ed; big fat buds denote mite and mite
means trouble, although it can be stamped
out by two months of persistent dusting
or spraying when the mite is migrating.

Dahlias for Cutting

Walter Darnell of East Moriches,
L. I., in talking with a writer for Horti-
culture, stated that he grows 1600 varie-
ties, each a distinct improvement upon
the parent stock from which it was de-
veloped.

Seedlings are raised annually from
cross-fertilized seed to the extent of
about 40,000. Of these, thousands are
thrown away the first season, only those
of real promise being kept.

The roots of these are split up and the
next season further elimination is made.
At the end of the third year, the final
selection results in about one dozen being
saved from the original 30,000 to 40,000
seedlings; indeed, if they get that num-
ber he considers himself lucky.

Of these dozen, not more than two or
three can be expected to make enough on
the market to pay for the work upon
them.

Dahlia varieties come and go like the
Winter snows. In 1840, there were some
1400 sorts listed in England; scarcely one
of them remains today.

When one considers the small fraction
of one per cent obtained from seedlings,
one wonders just how many of the novel-
ties offered can possess any real outstand-
ing merit.

One hears of small growers who are
raising seedling Dahlias and, of course,
such wonderful things as theirs never be-
fore existed. Yet, if the average number
of tiptoppers produced by a real expert
breeder is only three per 30,000 to 40,000,
what hope is there f o r the one acre

than in a hot house. Pinch out the tops and
get the plants in the open; they will be
better for it. Those who have strong stock
which is to be planted in May into
benches, will find it pays to give a shift
now into 3i/4in. pots. The plants can
stand it in the small pots but are much
benefited by a shift.

Hardy Flowering Plants

While getting ready to sow a lot of an-
nuals in the hotbeds, it will be a good
idea to look over the list of perenniala
which are easily grown from seed and
make a sowing now. This will give you
plants ready for transplanting when the
Spring rush is over, and you have room
in the frames. Delphiniums, Gaillardiaa,
Pyrethrums, Coreopsis, Dianthus and
others can be sown to advantage now,
and don't overlook the Columbines. Cam-
panulas or Canterbury Bells and Digitalia
sown now, in a mild hotbed, will give you
fine flowering stock for next Spring and
there is a long list of both biennials and
perennials every florist should grow. Al-
ways bear in mind none of these plants
need an expensive greenhouse during Win-
ter, and most of them are not only good
for cut flowers, but there is a great call
for the plants during Spring and Fall.
Everybody now_ wants so-called .hardy
stock but you will sell just as many bed-
ding plants for all that.

gardener? True, by shouting they can
gain a hearing from the innocent, but
the latter are not likely to keep buying
highly priced novelties which possess no
solid merit.

The real test of a good thing is the
readiness with which the trade as a whole
takes it up.
Putty at Seven Cents

My recent reference to the New
Jersey Extension Service Bureau's sug-
gestion that farmers make their own
putty because it means a saving of 3c.
and better quality, has prompted one well
knovm New Jersey greenhouse building
concern to state that they are selling spe-
cial greenhouse putty at 7c. in 100 lb. lots
and, what is more, they make it them-
selves and know it is far superior to any
putty that can be bought in the open
market.

They might have added "and better
than any home made mixture," for it goes
without saying, that firms with special
grinding facilities can make a better grade
putty than one can knock up at home.

Doutbless, the New Jersey Extension
Service Bureau will give our correspon-
dent the chance to prove their claim. I
don't think; officialdom is prone to refuse-
ing to admit errors.
Sealed Sweet Corn

A good tip reaches me through the med-
ium of South African Gardening.

It is universally recognized that Corn
loses its quality rapidly after cutting, and
it has been noted that this is due to the
fact that it loses much moisture from the
stalk end where broken off.

To obviate this, a grower makes a point
of hurrying his Corn, as gathered, to the
packing shed, where the stalks are cut
off square, and the ends immediately
dipped in melted red paraflin wax.

The wax sets at once and the cobs are
then packed into bags for market.

It would appear that the public quickly
discovered the improved quality of the
treated Corn and the storekeepers, finding
the red tipped Corn was a guarantee
against loss, readily pay 25c. more per
100 than for ordinary Corn. The cost
of treating is small; one lb. of wax will
seal many hundreds.

See to It

Making bricks without straw wasn't
any harder task for the children of Israel
than it is for a man to grow top hole Car-
nations in an ill ventilated house where
moisture is superabundant.

ments to a great extent. Had Sunday
been fair^ there would have been a short-

Notes

The wholesalers have been very
busy with large shipping orders, both in
cut flowers and supplies.

A. G. Berning's storeroom is a wonder-
ful sight. Lilies, Roses, Carnations, bulb-
ous stock and green goods cover the count-
ers daily and are cleaning up nicely. The
recent warm spell caused quite a surplus
which forced sales and caused prices to
fall considerably in order to move stock
and clean out. This was the real sign of
an oversupply this season.

Geo. H. Angermueller did a big busi-
ness in Easter novelties and supplies. Cut
flowers were cleaned out at modedrate
prices.

C. Young & Sons had a beautifxil Easter
display in their windows, showing all va-
rieties of blooming plants and bulbous
flowers.

Grimm & Gorley, Jlullanphy, Acme
Floral Co., and Riessen Floral Co. report
good Easter business with moderate prices.

F. C. "Weber, F. H. Weber, George
Waldbart, Ayres Floral Co. and Newman
Flower Shop all report heavy business.
C. W. W.

Cleveland, 0.

Easter week found the market in big
supply, the warm weather having pro-
duced large quantities of flowers in all
varieties. Carnations, in white and En-
chantress, were in large supply, while
dark pink and red were not so plentiful.

Bulbous stock has also been in full sup-
ply. Roses remain firm at 15c. to 35c.
The Lily supply is probably a little shy.
Some fairly good short stenuned frame Vio-
lets are in and are selling at 50c. a 100. Long
stemmed Sweet Peas, fancy stock, will
be scarce, but short stemmed stock will
be sold cheaply in order to unload. It is
e^ddent that flowers will be selling at
lower figures.

The street merchants are taking advan-
tage of the Carnation situation and
Thursday, March 24, two dozen Carna-
tions were sold for 50c. These, of course,
had a sleepy appearance, but there re-
mains the fact that they were retailed
below the cost of production. This is a
problem our National Society of Growers
will have to solve.

The plant situation is also a peculiar
problem. Blooming plants are being of-
fered at department stores, flower stands
and ten cent bargain counters at very low
figures. Weather conditions have, in a
great measure, caused this situation. The
weather is clear and slightly cooler at
this date, Friday, March 25.

Market Report on Easter Business

Saturday, March 26, the weather
was warm and Springlike, with an abun-
dant supply of flowers. Carnations were
heaviest in supply, especially in white
and Enchantress ; stock in this 1 ine
brought 4c. to 6c. and in large lots left-
overs were sold at S3 per 100. Roses
brought, for fresh stock, Ic. an inch, and
leftovers were sold at §50 per 1000. As
usual quite a few Roses were pickled.
Lilies were in fair supply and here com-
pletely sold out. Sweet Peas sold at §2
to §4 per 100; leftovers and short stems
were sold at 75c. per 100. Tulips were
sold cheaply in lots; Jonquils also. Nar-
cissus Poeticus went at $5 per 1000 for
outside stock. Greens sold well ; ferns
at So to $6 per 1000; Asparagus plumosua
at 60c. to §1 per bunch.

Plants sold Avell, the warrn weather
opening up the blooms. "Wholesalers re-
ported big shipping trade with prices
lower than last year. Retailers in gen-
eral reported good business.

Sunday was a great disappointment; a
cool rain prevailed all day, preventing the
usual parade of society folk and curtail-

Easter Business

March 29. — ^An imexpectedly heavy
voliune of business was transacted during
the Easter rush which closed at noon on
March 27. The much spoken of shortage
of money in the hands of the great middle-
class proved a myth, and the activity in
the retail flower shops on Friday and
Saturday preceding substantially suggested
the prosperity of two and three years ago.
Ideal weather conditions helped materially
and undoubtedly the lower prices of both
plants and cut flowers added increased
volimie to their sale. There was not suf-
ficient stock available to supply the de-
mand and there is not a florist in the
Fifth City who could not have done more
business had he more of such popular
small flowers as Sweet Peas, "Violets and
short and medium Roses. Many more
plants of the moderately priced grades
could have been moved also. Easter Lilies
were of exceptionally good quality and
sold well. Cut Lilies do not move with
the freedom of former years.

Unquestionably, the increased use of

I advertising by our more enterprising re-
tailers, together with the many individual

I flower shows, helped swell the volume

I of trade, and had the former co-operative
publicity work been in operation, the re-
sults would have been even greater.

I The early arrival of Spring made flow-

' ers for personal adornment particularly
popular this Easter. Unseasonably mild
weather prevailed on Friday and Satur-
day, and indications pointed to a beauti-
ful day on Sunday. Shortly after 9

j o'clock, however, rain began to fall in
torrents which hastened the public from

I the avenues, thus preventing the proper
enjoyment of the vast quantity of cor-

I sage bouquets purchased.

As usual, the small flowers were in-
adequate to meet the demand and, as was
expected, the supply of blooming plants
was insxifficient. In the cut flower lists,
there was an oversupply of bulbous stock,
vast numbers of Tulips and Daffodils being
disposed of by means of the street ven-
ders. Plant stock it seemed, was on sale
everjTvhere, in vacant rooms in the down-
town' district, in department stores, grocery
stores and butcher shops, the result being
that a greater quantity of plants and
flowers were noticed in the hands of the
public on the way to their homes than
upon any previous occasion. There was
plenty of help available to handle the
stock and get out the orders and deliveries
were made Sunday morning on schedule
time. The mild temperature aided much,
as little or no wrapping was really re-
quired.

Upon the whole, the business for Easter
proved very encouraging and was suf-
ficient to encourage growers hitherto in
doubt as to the future, to enlarge their
output. The day of high prices is over,
which is for the best, as they could not
be sustained. Business has again really
become normal, rich and poor alike buy-
ing the wares of the florist. Good values
were delivered this Easter, which means
repeat business, indeed, the future now
looks brighter than at any time in the
past year.

Lilies for Christmas

Please say what is the best variety of
Lily to force for Christmas, the time tc
plant and best way to handle them. Re-
garding raising Lilies from seed, caD you
say where seed may be obtained? — F. R
P., Ont.

L. longiflorum formosum is the type
mostly used for early blooming. Pot uj i
as -oon as obtainable and plunge in a
coldframe and shade. Shift under glass
before cold weather arrives and set on asl
covered bench in a cool house. It is_ 8
good plan to pot into small pots and shift
into larger ones as the stem roots develop
Some prefer to use flowering size pots
half filling with fo\\ for a start. As they'
grow, give the plants warmer quarters
raising the temperature to suit conditions
Roughly speaking it takes about thref
months to flower bulbs from the time thej
are brought into the house if you keep uy
an average of about 60deg. The hardei
you force the less substance the flowers
have. . ,

You may, perhaps, get a few trial seeoi
from the Bureau of Plant Industry, Wash
ington, D. C, but the writings of Dr
Griffiths are really for encouraging grow-
ers to produce their own seed.

ALL of us who are interested in
horticulture, anti especially
tlioso in tlie trade, arc as much
onccrned with the variations or
'sports" of a specie as with the
pecie itself. We hail and welcome
vith delight any striking form or
ariety that may arise, either as a
'Suit of the hybridist's efforts, or
}iat has come to us direct from Na-
dre's sportive zone.

is that has emanated from Euro-

-lolland. From its very first ap-
>earance it proved a winner and is
iow considered one of the best of
he Junipers for all general pur-
ioses. The unique habit of the
)lant, which is somewhat flat in
orm, makes it invaluable for base
ilanting, grouping and as well for
ock gardens and slopes. Like the
ither members of the genus, it
hrives quite well in rather dry and
!tony soil with plenty of sunlight.
Vhile rather a deep rooter it does

act, when digging it on the nur-
leries, its root system seems insuffi-

Juniperus chinensis Pfitzeriana

The unique habit of this plant makes it invaluable for base planting, grouping and for rock gardens and slopes.

be disturbed and dried out after planting in consequence
of it being blown and swayed by winds before it has
again taken hold of the soil. As a natural result of its
popularity, the demand for Pfitzeriana has been very
great, and now that the original source of supply is

cut off, it is much to be regretted
that the meager present supply in
the country can fill the wants of only
the few. Not so many years ago one
could visit nurseries in most any
part of the country and see large
blocks of this evergreen growing
along in all sizes from one foot to
five feet in height. The semi-hori-
zontal, plume-like, grey-green
branches moving in the breeze
seemed like the waves of the sea.
They were then all imported, mostly
in small sizes, and grown along
here, but sometimes large shipments
of sizes up to three and four feet
were brought in and found a ready
sale, either immediately or in about
two years after planting.

As regards the hope of raising
sufficient quantities here, it will be
many years before a supply equal
to the demand can be expected. Un-
fortunately, it is not an easy Juni-
per to propagate, and while good
efforts are being made by many to
strengthen the fast failing stock, it
is at the best rather slow work.
Raising it from cuttings, it takes al-
most two years to properly root
and another five to have the plants
ready for the retail trade. Layer-
ing would perhaps be the best
method (did we have the stock) to
secure salable plants in the shortest
time. We have never seen any seed
bearing plants of this Juniper (could
it be raised from seed) and the prob-
ability is the seedlings would be a
diverse lot of plants, and while quite absorbing to watch
the outcome of the seedlings, in this case, it is more
profitable to be sure of results and to inventory the cor-
rect plant.

ij Violators to Be Prosecuted

Nurserymen Asked to Cooperate in Preventing
Shipments of White Pines, Gooseberry and
Currant Plants into Western States in Violation
) of the Law

jMany illegal shipments of Currant and Gooseberry
[ishes and Five-Leaved Pines have been made in the
'st four years, a large majority of them by nursery-
l:n. An analysis of the violations of blister rust quar-
j tines which have been discovered shows that out of
jtotal of 133, 49 nurseries were responsible for 105 of
ese prohibited shipments.

White Pines were discovered, in a few shipments,
ider the name of "Jack Pine," or other yellow Pines,
iolations have occurred from Massachusetts, New
3rk, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wis-
nsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
)uisiana and Alabama. Some of the shipments were
ade from regions infected with blister rust, and a few
me from nurseries known to have diseased stock the
evious year.

All such violotors of this quarantine will be prose-
ted. A number of convictions have already been se-
red. A force of inspectors is in the field, and drastic
Ition will be taken to make the quarantine effective.
The cooperation of all nurserymen is requested in
holding the Federal and State blister rust quarantines,
■deral Quarantine No. 36, effective June 1, 1917, pro-
pits the shipment of Five-Leaved Pines, Currants,
Gooseberries (the host plants of the blister rust)
[om points east of and including Minnesota, Iowa,
fissouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana to points west of
Isse States. This quarantine also prohibits the ship-
jmt of Five-Leafed Pines and Black Currants from
t\v England and New York to any point outside of
;se States, and prohibits, further, the shipment of

Five-Leafed Pines and Black Currant plants from the
New England States into the State of New York. These
regulations are made to prevent the introduction of the
blister rust into uninfected regions by the transporta-
tion of diseased host plants from infected areas, and
especially to protect the valuable Western White Pine
forests. A single shipment of infected stock may cause
colossal loss.

In order that common carriers and nurserymen may
know the Federal blister rust quarantine laws, and the
regions to which they apply, a poster has been printed,
giving this information, and is being sent all nursery-
men in the East, as well as certain freight and express
agents and postmasters. Additional copies may be se-
cured from the F. H. B. at Washington, D. C. It is
realized that carelessness on the part of nursery em-
ployees frequently is responsible for illegal shipments.
It is desirable that this poster be placed in packing sheds
as a reminder of shipping restrictions.

Blister rust is widespread throughout New England,
New York, western Wisconsin, and northeastern Minne-
sota. Five-Leafed Pines, Currants and Gooseberries
shipped into the West prior to enactment of quarantine
have been inspected, and no trace of the disease has
been found west of the Great Plains. The Western
White and Sugar Pine forests comprise S5 billion feet
of timber, and young growth of these species has ex-
ceptional value in future forest management. The
safety of these forests depends upon keeping out the
blister rust. This can be done if the Federal regula-
tions are observed. Failure to do so jeopardizes one of
our most valuable forest resources. It is an act of good
citizenship to aid in protecting our Western forests by
making special efforts to comply with this quarantine
order.

the class in composition, ''you should not attempt any flights of

Black Fly Quarantine in Force

Notice is given by the Department of Agriculture
that Quarantine No. 49, designed to prevent the intro-
duction of the citrus black fly, goes into eft'ect April 1,
1931. This quarantine prohibits — except under special
permit — the entry into the United States from Cuba, the
Bahamas, Jamaica, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, India,
Philippine Islands, Ceylon and Java of "fruits and
vegetables in the raw or unprocessed state, and of
plants or portions of plants used as packing material in
connection with shipments of such fruits and vege-
tables, or .otherwise." This refers to Bananas, Pine-
apples, Oranges, etc., as well as plants from which those
fruits are obtained.

Prompt Notice Required of Permitted Imports

By a recent ruling of the F. H. B. importers of bulbs,
seeds and nursery stock permitted to enter under Regu-
lation 3 of Quarantine 37, must file with the Govern-
ment all required papers, including notice of arrival
and notice of shipment to the ultimate consumer, before
the material will be allowed to enter. This means that
such notices must either be lodged with the Collector
of Customs at ports where the F. H. B. maintains its
inspection service (New York, Boston. Philadelphia^
Baltimore, New Orleans, Portland, Seattle and San
Francisco) or mailed to the Secretary of Agriculture
and the proper State authority, as promptly as possible.
This tightening of the regulations is the result, it is
said, of the "growing; laxity on the part of importers
and brokers in submitting the notice of shipment re-
quired under Regulation 11." Such a tendency some-
times results in notification of the authorities for which
the material is finally destined only after it has been

HENRY PENN'S MESSAGE

Everybody Sells Something or Loafs

Mystery or Mastery

Have you ever stopped to think that there is no MYSTERY in
SiwcesB. It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It ia based on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that underlie btisiness activity and human life! It
comes from MASTERY of these laws, and their' application to one's
work! To know these laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligently ia sure to bring success whatever one's undertaking.
MASTERY is the key-word, not MYSTERY! The change of one let-
ter makes all the difference in the world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Busineas conditions are
rapidly changing. Juat a abort time ago there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more gooda
than buyers. Instead of a selfer'a market, we have a buyer's market.
All business, or in other words, all human activity, in its last analysis
is dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill; the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant his merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice; Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your aales-
manabip.

DEPARTMENT

NEW YORK'S EASTER FLOWER TRADE

EVERYBODY SATISFIED

ALL records wcro fxcccdcil !>y Now \'ork City in
its purcha.si' of Kaster Hdhlts. Reports from
Horists' sliops show that they were literally
jwaniped with orders, despite the fact tliat many of
these eslahlishitKMits had been keei)iiiy open until H)
oVIock all week tii haiKllo the Easter trade.

The extensive. e\en la\ish pitrciiasc of Easter flow-
ers inuloiihtedly was traceable to the railical reduction
in prices as compared with last year's. E^astcr Lilies,
orchids. Roses and the remainder of the list, were cut
.<o greatly that the puhlic could not resist the temptation
to huy.

In some instances tile florist sliops reported that their
business had increased as much as 50 per cent over
normal.

As a rule, there was no shortage in any flower. The
prices ran front 20 to ;iO per cent below those asked last
Easter for plants of all kinds. Cut flowers have been
plentiful and much lower in price. The prices for Easter
(lowers this year were reduced to almost normal or pre-
war levels.

The only flower of wliich there was anything ap-
proaching a shortage, as coiTipared with former years,
was the orchid.

Easter Lilies, which sold last year at $13 to $1S a
doz., cut. were offered this year at $6 and $7.50. For
the potted plants, which last year sold for $15 to $30
each, the florists asked $7.50 to $9. Baskets of three
dozen blooms were sold at prices ranging from $37' up.

Prices of Roses ran from $4 a doz. up. Violets were
$3, $5 and $6 a bunch, whereas last year they were sell-
ing for $7 and $10. American Beauty, which sold last
Easter for $30 to $36 a doz., were off^ered at $30 and $34.
Gardenias were disposed of at prices running from 75c.
to $1.50 each. Hydrangeas were placed on the market
for $5 and up. as compared with $7.50 and up a year
ago.

These were prices asked along l-'ifth ave. ; still lower
prices obtained in the uptown and downtown districts.

*****

The foregoing reflects with fair accuracy the condi-
tions prevailing among the New York retailers during
the latter end of the week.

In some fiuarters. the rush did not make itself felt
until Friday afternoon, while in others, the drive began
some hours earlier.

Our own inquirfes among some of the retailers of
Broadway and Madison avc. lead us tb believe that
trade as a whole was decidedly good. Some are in-
clined to think that a record trade was done but, others
more conservative, are satisfied to say that they did as
well as they anticipated.

All agree that they have no kick and, compared with
some other lines 'of business, they incline to the belief
that the flower trade was practically normal.

Generally speaking, all florists found there was a
lesser demand for big and expensive plants. The gen-
eral run of buyers, even among the best shops, ranged
their purchases between $10 and $35. Plants runnnig up
to $40 and above were not in great request, nor can it
be said that the' reduced prices influenced matters to any
e.Ktent. A considerable number of wealthy people were
out of town and their mail orders for deliveries of
plants were noticeably kept down to moderate figures,
nevertheless, florists were, owing to the lower costs,
able, to provide better stock than last year at the same
rates.

While Azaleas were fairly plentiful few samples were
up to old-time standards. Rhododendrons, too, were
suffering from the plant embargo, and prices for these
goods were, in the main, considerably higher than in
older days. The Spiraea, strictly Astilbe, is another
plant that is affected. Formerly, this plant was a line
the florist could handle at a profit as it was reason-
able in price and therefore in good demand. Last week,
good pink varieties, formerly retailed at $3.50, could

noi he sold for less than $7. "This," as one retailer
remarked, "is an illustration of what may happen when
competition is removed."

Lilies in pots certainly were plentiful; excellent cut
Iilooms were sold as low as $6 a doz. Not all the Lily
stock, however, was of the best. Hydrangeas sold well
but they did not replace the brilliant colored Azaleas.
The warm weather hit the Rambler Roses badly, and
few florists were able to make a total clearance because.
the plants had lost their freshness.

Genista elegans was good, and A. T. Bunyard found
no difficulty in clearing up all he had. IndeetJ very few
remnants of anything were left when the doors closed
on Saturday night.

Bums the Florist had a good line in his dwarf Japan
Lily, L. rubel,lum. He had several hundred pans of it
and all went. As at Christmas, he utilized the big
vacant shop next door and, although both shops were
packed with plants, little or nothing remained on Mon-
day.

J. H. Small & Sons, too, had their immense shop
filled on Friday morning but, before Sunday daylight
broke, it looked like the field of Badajoz. Historians
writing of this desperate battle between the British and
the French say, "When Wellington saw the havoc of
the night he wept." But — there was no weeping at
Small's when the Easter trade was over.

David Clarke's Sons were likewise satisfied with
things and like good business people they were grateful
for the fact that most lines were moderate compared
with last year. Malandre Bros., also did good^ business.

Cattleya orchids were about the most costly item
among cut flowers, but it cannot be wholly attributed
to the plant embargo. The season affected these, as it
did other flowers, and the supply was neither great nor
was the quality wholly tip-top. Good Cattleyas could
not be retailed at less than $4.

Other cut flowers were more reasonable and there
was no real shortage of anything.

A Pre-Eastertide Ramble

By WOOLGATHERER

Let it not be thought that this relates to a ramble
through country lanes or woodland scenery, far from
it. My peregrinations were confined to a few of the
highways of New York City and. as I set forth without
any pre-arranged program, it follows that my tour was
more in the nature of a ramble than anything else.

The inquisitive might be inclined to ask what is a
ramble and being one of that "ilk" I have sought the
definition which is to the effect that "to ramble" is "to
wander" or "to stray." It may perhaps be thought that
these notes emanate from a mind that is wandering, but
I trust that no one will -assume that I am straying from
the path of rectitude. Could such a thing occur in New
York City ? Perish the thought, and yet I must confess
that in starting out the evening before Good Friday, I
found the conditions were not such as to make me feel
pious.

* A drizzling rain, lots of puddles, .no rubbers, autos
squelching dirty water everywhere, innumerable um-
brellas that either sought to knock my hat off or my
eye out, and the usual footwalk obstructions in the form
of upstanding- cellar flaps or builders' boardwralks. The
purpose of my walk was to see the sights — the flower
sights, that is.

This qualification is necessary for the sights of New'
York are many. Some of them, not a few of them, in
fact are certain of the female persuasion, whose chief
occupation seems to be a consultation with an automatic
machine mirror or, failing this, a handbag which con-
tains space, for one handkerchief (small), and one pow-
der puff (large), and one mirror. It would seem that
'he climate of New York compels such a consultation
It. very frequent intervals. Moreover, the , aforesaid
:limate apparently brings about a desire among the
1 foresaid 'sights" to hide their identity with the genus
iomo by adopting a complexion 'which would make a
)Uic nosed chimpanzee turn green with envy.

It is easy to understand why these walking Talcum
ids find it necessary to adopt attire that begins late and
imishes early — they have to cut expenses somehow.
>ew of them appear to patronize the florist; they are
foment for floral adornment to wear a hat garnished
. vith more or less impossible flowers. In some instances,
■ hey favor fruit and foliage. I must admit that on no
liccasion have I seen the modern Eve following the lead
!nven by her illustrous ancestor. True, Figs are not

yet in season, but one never knows what Dame Fashion
may demand.

But where was I?

For no particular reason I started up 43d st. at Ninth
ave. and there discovered that Iberis . sempervirens
(perennial Candytuft) was one of the flowers in season
for florists. Blue Hydrangeas, too 1 Where is that fel-
low who asked why if blue Hydrangeas can be artifi-
cially produced, florists did not offer them? Either he
has, in the past, failed to observe them, or the growers
have all been using alum dope since the subject was
disctissed in The Exchange.

Among the cut flowers that caught my eye was a vase
of Callas. Somebody wrote: "Consider the Lilies of
the field, how they grow." Maybe that party had
the Calla in mind, although botanists tell us that it hails
from South Africa which is a long way from the Nil,e,
where the wise men lived. Anyway, whether the Calia
grew along the Nile as it nowadays does around Cape
Town, it surely never surpassed the samples produced
by somebody, somewhere, for florists' use.

Switching into Eighth ave. I peered into the window
of Richard Scolminodau's store. No sign of a scarcity
of Azaleas here, nor bulbs either. Almost seemed as if
he were trying to emulate both the gardens of John
Scheepers, Inc., and Bobbink & Atkins, as set up at the
show.

Flitting onward, I found another store where an ex-
cellent display of Tulips and Daffodils in pans and
boxes was on view. In reply to the query, "How's busi-
ness?" the one assistant shrugged and expressed his
view with the remark, "Rotten 1" Judging by- the fact
that four ladies came in and asked prices without get-
ting any further, it certainly was. Seemed to suggest
that while the ladies were credited with spending $400.-
000.000 on Easter clothes, and the men nearly as much,
making it the greatest buying Easter on record, they
were forgetting the florist.

However, I opined I had struck a snag and when a
young damsel pointed to some Calendulas ai)d asked
what they were called, and the would-be salesman glibly
said Gladiolias, I knew it for a certainty. The shock
was so great that I mentally exclaimed s'truth, and
passed on, only to find later that my watch, which had
stood by me in more troublous times, had been seized
with palpitation to such an extent that it was ticking
off ISO minutes to the hour, and the spasm is still on.

The sight of some Mint in a vegetable store calmed
me not a little and I found myself recalling the days
when this herb was in great demand. But those were
the times when this was a free country and the making
of mint julep was not a crime.

Still thinking, "I meandered into 34th st. where tlie
flowers that bloom are not the kind that the most ap-
proved fertilizer could produce. The purple Cattleyas,
pink Wistarias and peacock blue Roses, etc., that flour-
ish in the windows of Saks Co., Bedell's, Giinbel Bros.,
McCreery's and others, must cause Dame Nature many
a pang of anguish. What her better half thinks of these
wondrous creations we cannot imagine. If he is like his
"missus," he must assuredly wonder whether it is worth
while staying' in the nature business.- I will concede
that the made-up Forsythia bushes, good though they
were, were no advance on nature save that they kept
bright and inade no litter. The charming maiden sit-
ting in their shadow made a pretty picture but, alas,
like the flowers in her hat, she was too good to be real ;
a mere figment of a lurid imagination. * '* * As the
rain seemed determined to carry on, I decided to slide
down the subway and continue my exploration next day
which, the weather man had promised me, would be
good and bright, and sure enough he was right, for
long before I dropped from the elevated at 18th st. and
passed into the wholesale market there,' the sun was
shining and all the world seemed gay.

A. M. Henshaw himself was helping to meet the rush.
"To him the prospects looked good, and if all the Carna-
tions, Roses, Stocks, orchids, and greenery on view
were cleared before midday there would not be any
kick coming, I imagine.

Hanging in the central gangway between the various
stores I noted a blackboard announcing the progress of
the A. F. T. Association work, followed by the open
invitation, "If you want to chip in see A. M. Henshaw."

Other wholesalers were all more or less active. Del-
phiniums, Eschscholtzia and White Stars (Omitho-
galum) were three prominent features at J. J. Coan's.
DoIansky-McDonald Co. had many fine Cattleya plants
and not a few cut blooms of this and other orchids,
all, it would seem, in big demand at rising rates. M, C.
Ford was featuring Iberis and Hyacinths in pans. G. J.
Polykranas had lots of blue Hydrangeas and Easter
Lilies in pots. Joseph E. Fenrich was going strong as
usual on Roses. He had, too, some real nice sweet-
scented Mignonette, not the exaggerated kind. As a sort
of side line he was offering one party short Sweet Peas
at 4c., but it seemed the party was looking for something
cheaper. A good chance for some growers to meet a
certain demand.

A ten cent store nearby attracted my attention; more
evidence of Spring time here. All kinds of seeds in
bright packets and garden trowels to plant them. The
flowers on view, were not specially interesting to a mere
male, but I did bring away a sample of the so-called

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

I have a question to decide which, I
thought might be of general interest and
I am therefore writing you in regard to
it.

What plants would you advise, in the
way of pahns, etc.j to be used in the large
foyer of a hotel? They must, of course,
be the best heat and dust resistant pro-
curable, and possibly they would have
their greatest test in Winter, as the ho-
tel walls being heavy, the great heat of
Summer may not be felt so badly. They
are to be planted in large urns mostly,
running from 16in. to 20in. wide and
about 15in. deep, or even more. Do you
think it would be the best to set them
in soil that fills the urns or would it be
better to plant them in tubs or pots to
be set in the urns? I would like to know
of fifteen or twenty varieties, if possible.
G. G., Md.

Say it with Flowers

The florists have coined a trade phrase
with a punch:

"Say it with Flowers."

And the four words should have a
wider range than that provided by the
florist's shop.

If in all our relations of life we were
to say it with flowers, instead of with
brickbats, with a smile instead of a scowl,
with a laugh of good fellowship instead of
a sneer from a sour soul, how much hap-
pier a place this old mud puddle world
which yet reflects the stars would be!

Say it with flowers.

Act it after the same -fragrant fash-
ion.

Were a man to take that for hie motto,
the rush of happiness to his own heart,

plus the tidal wave of joy he would bring
to others, would be as intoxicating as a
quart of com likTser.

It is downright astonishing what a dif-
ference simple acts of courtesy, little
kindlinesses, little thoughtfulnesses, make
in folks' lives,

Some states have "blue sky" laws. Prob-
ably good statutes. But, if people were to
place on the statute books of their con-
sciences a blue sky law which meant bring-
ing to other people the serenity of cloud-
lessnesa instead of the chill of cloudiness,
if they had registered on their hearts the
high duty of being blue sky folks in re-
spect of their relations to others, then we
should indeed have a blue sky lawthatwould
do more to remove from hiunan lives bad
temper and unhappiness than all the laws
from the time of the Medes and Persians
down to the present gathering of the
Texas Legislature.

The Times Herald believes it is better
to grin than to grouch. It is natural for
pigs to grunt but the Times Herald hates
to see human beings pattern themselves
after porkers. The Times Herald has no
respect for monosyllabic surliness, for im-
politeness in little or impoliteness in big
things.

Therefore the Times Herald begs leave
to steal from the florists their trade
phrase and to draft it into the service of
larger things. If all of us folks said it
with flowers this old world would bloom
like a Kose garden. — Dallas Daily Times
Herald.

Prepared Natural Flowers

At the recent International Flower
Show, New York, the Everlasting Flower
and Plant Co,, made a last minute display,
due to late arrival of prepared natural
flowers. Roses, Chrysanthemums and
Zinnias were shown in well nigh perfect
form. Made up wreaths and baskets also
exhibited were both good and pleasingly
artistic.

He Loves Flowers

This man Harding, who has been, elected
president of the United States, is liable
to go far and make his. mark. He loves
flowers and has tact. ■

The other day Miss Helen Robertson,
the anti-suffragist who was elected to the
lower house of Congress from the state
of Oklahoma, called upon the President
to urge the appointment of a certain
person to the position of minister to
Venezuela.

The name of the man escapes us, and is
not important, and the news despatches
do not enlighten us -as to what encour-
agement the President gave his fair caller
in regard to the purpose for which she
called. But he gallantly gave her a Rose,
and took care to break off all the thorns.
^ William McKinley was a great lover of.
flowers, and was seldom seen without a
Carnation — his favorite fl,ower — in a lapel
of his coat. It was like a breath of
Spring to see him bound into the room,
the picture of health, smiling with a
spontaneity which could not be simulated,
and bearing in his hand most probably
a cluster of Carnations which he dis-
j tributed to the children and to the gentler
sex among the score who sought to pay
their respects to him.

There were office seekers among them
to be sure, for the pie counter was
crowded then as now. But the chances
are that the man who wanted to be con-
sul to Tamatave or minister to Cuba al-
most forgot the purpose of his visit in
the real joy he experienced in the pres-
ence of the President and his flowers.

And this man Harding seems to be the
same kind of a man. It will not be
possible for him to break all the thorns
from the pathway of those who seek him,
but his generous distribution of Roses
will go far to neutralize the disappoint-
ment which so many ofHce seekers are
bound to feel. — The Macon News.

Our Strange Language

I I lioui^lit some gloves one chilly night
' And, as there seemed a doubt
Of size and shape I tried them on
That I might try them out.

And when I found that by daylight
They did not match my gown

I had to call the shopman up
Tha,t I might call him down.

The floral displays in Toronto stores
Easter week were beautiful and elaborate.
Sales were large and generally all stocks,
more especially of Lilies, were sold out
early. Cut flowers sold well this year. The
prevailing retail price of Lily blooms was
50c., but prices ranged from 35c. to 75c.
The florists are well satisfied with their
Easter business.

Little Grey Flower Shoppe has been
registered.

Prof. Witte spent a few days in To-
ronto last week, and gave several lectures
on soils at 'Toronto University.

Edward Miller of Miller Bros., Lauder
ave., stated that there were not nearly
enough Lilies to meet the demand at
Easter. They could have sold about 25,-
000 more. Roses are looking fine and in
about two weeks' -time they will have an
excellent assortment in quantity.

F. K. Prouse has purchased a delivery
truck.

J. J. Higgins was busy at both stores.
Lilies filled the -v^indow, being banked up
for a background. The bank idea was
carried out along the walls of the store,
the Azaleas, Spiraeas, Rhododendrons, etc.,
being arranged in the center of the store.

Simmons & Son had a beautiful display
of baskets in their front window, the side
windows being filled with Lilies in pots.
Lilies, Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Spiraeas
and Hyacinths were arranged in the cen-;
ter of the store. They had a big rush on
Thursday and Saturday.

J. A. Neal^ Chas. Cooper, Tidy & Son,
Dtmlop's and H. O. Dillemuth all did a
rushing business. When The Exchange
interviewed them on Saturday, all were
exceedingly busy and felt sure ihat when
the returns were counte<^ this would be
the Toronto florists' best Easter.

F- Saunders had many advance orders
and was sold out of Lilies early.

W. G. Warren found a great demand for-
Azaleas and sold all he had by Thurs-
day night. By Saturday evening his
Lilies were sold out. There was also a
big demand for cut flowers.

Frank Adams, 1639 Yonge st., turned
the greenhouse fronting on Yonge st. and
adjacent to his ' store into an immense
Easter display room. The greenhouse,
27ft.x80ft., was one great bank rising
gradually from the front door until it
reached the roof at the back. In addi-
tion to Easter Lilies, Azaleas and Rhodo-
dendrons, he had in this beautiful dis-
play white and purple Lilac, Tulips, Prim-
roses, Hyacinths, Daffodils, Spireea in
several varieties, Japanese Maple, Labur-
num in bush and standard forms, Malus
floribunda, Roses, Wistaria sinensis, Be-
gonias, Genista Andreana, Cineraria stel-
lata. Primulas, etc. All pots were covered
with Japanese matting before being de-
livered.

Henry Cross hag purchased the Alham-
bra flower shop at 570 Bloor st., west
from C. Hemstead. Thomas Emery will
be retained as manager. At Easter each
customer was sent a greeting card thank-
ing him for his order.

The demand for flowers at the Arcade
Florist (Geo. Yavuer) was so great at
Easter that he was forced to keep the
door closed and admit customers in re-
lays. When the 'stock was sold and only
sufficient remained on hand to fill orders
no more cuatomters were admitted. His
large show rooms on the third floor were
used for shipping and for making up de-
sign work, for which there was a heavy
demand.

A Pre-Eastertide Ramble

(Coiithiiicd front page III)
Resurrection Plant, Anastatica hierochuntica, a freak-
ish Selaginella like plant from the Levant, which re-
tains the property of becoming green when thrown into
water after it has finished its life cycle. The "fakir"
would have us believe that the plant is alive, but as it
is an annual, its ability to grow after it* has traversed
the globe in *a dried up condition is denied by authorita-
tive people. However, the plant should be of assistance
to the prohibitionists as showing what plain water can
ilo. •

A boot store 'next attracted me: "We ne\'er use sub-
stitutes," I read. Not all florists can say that, I thought,
as I later on gazed upon some mysterious flowers in the
window of a supply house. Certainly I better liked the
great array of Snapdragons in the window of Henry M.
Robinson Co.

To Fifth ave. I wended my way, and viewed with awe
.the gorgeous vases of Roses used to show off the mighty
windows of B. Altman. The tive flowers displayed in
conjunction were .limited, and I fell to wondering
whether the psychology of women was influenced mostly
by the goods displayed or the flowers, artificial though
tlie latter were. '

I again must own that these gorgeous makeshifts as
used by the dry goods stores are too good for Nature
with, perhaps, a few exceptions. The real Liljr cer-
tainly is not outdone by the artificial and, where real
flower-S are used in any quantity, they can hold their
own, and more. 1 even concluded that the one pot of
Dorothy Perkins Rose with its pink bow, as staged in
Schrafft's candy store window, looked a whole lot better
ihan a window full of dummy flowers.

.\nother lf)c. store, with a most marvelous assortment
I'llinery blooms held my attention for a momem,

but I spent five minutes before Wadley & Smythe's, near
43d St., with its window of white Valley- in vases, and
a" host of pot Lilies and Hydrangeas, all decked up in
true Easter style. Inside of the shop I dared not ven-
ture; it was 'too full of plants and people.,

A further step or two brought me to the McKenney
flower shop. Small baskets of Ericas, Pansies and
Pussy Willow were a feature, but in the main, cut
bloom appeared to interest Mr. McKenney most. His
shop is small, and when plants have to be stowed away
on an upper floor people cannot see them. Apart from
this, the patronage at this point is largely transient and
not everyone is living sufficiently near to permit delivery.

At Fleischman's plant baskets were de rlgeur. Blue
Hyacinths, blue Hydrangeas, Ericas, Azaleas, Pussy
Willow and Acacia were in great force. The shop was
certainly prepared for a big demand but seemingly the
rush was 'to come. Thos. Galvin, Inc., were satisfied
with the outlook. Plants were going strong, and as they
had them both plain and dolled up in baskets, patrons
were easily accommodated. Ericas, Azaleas — where
have all the latter come from — Lilies and Roses were
in demand and, to satisfy the desire for something dif-
ferent, yellow Callas were on hand. Some good cut
Ranunculus were s^en here, 'too.

A trip around the houselike store of Thorley's was
educational. Roses and Azaleas galore here, and ap-
parently every one so concerned with their own affarrs
that they were neither interested nor even suspicious of
a "gink" like me.

I sauntered on and noted at 53d st. English Daisies
and Ivy window bo.xes were in order at one big mansion.

Japanese flowering Cherries interest me muchly, bu':
I had no use for the "fakes" in the Window of Yania-
naka & Co., nor the rockwork. What this concern deals
in I did not seek to inquire, for I was near Max

Schling's, and hastened thither to see what he had on
hand. Those half open boxes of his are good, and the
combinations of cut flowers gotten into them must as- ■
suredly please the buyers if they have taste. The bas-
kets, too, one containing yellow Callas, red Anthurium,
Acacia and blue Lupins, were delightful,

A brief prance around the store and down in the base-
ment showed that here plants were going strong. All
kinds and every kind, and there were enough labeled
sold, with the price tags, etc., on them to fill several big
trucks. Many had already gone, including every plant
of the big batch of blue Jackmanii Clematis which had
come in during the week. ,

Another great attraction, was the cut Ranunculus, of
which a big stock had been received. All were gone.
Certainly no kick coming from here.

Stumpp's were prepared for any kind of rush; the
plant stock was surely plentiful and varied, and it
was anticipated that by Saturday night only the remem-
brance would be left.

Passing to Sixth ave. via the Hyacinth decked Hotel
Plaza, I observed one perfumery display. The name
did not interest me, but I observed the statement, "Made
where the flowers grow." Ah, me! I don't think many
flowers grow around a scent factory. The synthetic
chemist is quite satisfied with a barrel of coal tar, or a
sack of peanuts ; he can make all the perfumes and
flavorings he wants from these.

N. Christatos and Orchid, Inc., close by 58th St., had
plenty of good plants, and the latter calculated that with
the easier prices, the demand would be better than last
year, even if it didn't turn in so much money.

Summing up at this point, I concluded I had had
enough, and when a peddling plantsman substantiated
the impression tha't plants were a pretty good line this
Easter, I hopped on to a trolley and "faded out."

From the Retail Florists' Advertising Service,

Here is an ad telling of
just one kind of flower, the
kind you have to sell now,
and therefore the kind you
can get folks to buy if you
advertise it.

Retail Florists'

FLORISTS

Toronto — (Continued from page IX)

At the market, H. Waters, T. Manton
and Dean Florist were all exceedingly
busy at their stores. All classes of flowers
sold well on Safurday. The Lilies being
practically disposed of on Thursday.

Edward Gale of the John Connon Co.,
Hamilton, stated that there were not
enough Lilies to fill the demand. Their
conservatory at the rear of the store pre-
sented a very attractive appearance
banked up with Lilies and Azaleas. Eoses
and Spring flowers in pots sold well. The
warm weather made delivery easy. Busi-
ness had been good- and a steady trade
may be looked for from now on.

Geo. Brown, the Arbor Florist, Hamil-
ton, has opened a branch store at the Ar-
cade Department store, a long lease hav-
ing been secured. Mr. Brown had the
basement salesroom at the King store
packi^d with Lilies and Azaleas. He stated
that he had ordered 300 Azaleas and 5000
Lilies. Business was better than ever this
Easter. He has had quite a number of
wedding decorations and also there has
been a big demand for funeral work.

the store. Clerks must be cheerful and
tactful and their dress should be in keep-
ing with the goods they are selling. A
good tone of voice should also be culti-
vated. If delivery of an order is prom-
ised for a certain hour, the flowers should
be delivered promptly. It is rather ex-
asperating if a customer wishes to have
her tea table decorated early.

At the Eighth International (New York) Flower Show

The Short Hills (N. .J.) Garden Club bird bath exhibit, a most attractive piece of work, featuring

small trees. Irises, ferns, etc. It was awarded a silver medal. An ideal along similar lines

could well be employed in a florist's show window, making a fetching display to catch the eyes

of the passersby.

Gardeners and Florists Ass*n Meeting;

A large attendance of the Gardeners
and Flbrists Association greeted Prof.
Aj H. Tomlinson of the Ontario Agricul-
tural College, who addressed their regular
meeting on March 21. The subject was
"Garden Arrangement." A complete set
of slides was shown illustrating Italian,
French and English design. The slides
were beautifully colored and illustrated
Japanese, rock and general gardens, formal
and otherwise, in several countries in
Europe, United States and Canada. It
was shown that the trend at th# present
time is for the open landscape garden
with more plants. A hearty vote of
thanks was tendered Prof. Tomlinson at
the conclusion of hia exceedingly instruc-
tive address. President F. D. Clark oc-
cupied the chair.

Under general business, it was decided
to assist the Winter Fair Association fi-
nancially. Thomas Manton represents this
association on the Winter Fair director-
ate. Alex Macauley and George Thomp-
son were each awarded nine points for a
Dracfena and an Anthurium respectively.

Canada at Large

At the March business meeting of the
Hamilton Gardeners and Florists Asso-
ciati.m. Major John Connon gave an ad-
dress on "Salesmanship." He referred to
the necessity of giving the prosp'ective
customer a good impression as he enters

Selling at one price and careful buying
are important parts of the business Books
should be carefully kept. Every owner
should vote himself a regular salary. He'
closed with stating the code of , ethics of
the Illinois State Kurserymens Associa-
tion and the motto of the Rotary Club:
"He profi,ts most who serves beat."

Mrs. Connon contributed several vocal
selections which were much appreciated.
At the April meeting, W. H. Gray ^ill
give an address.

On March 7 the Montreal Gardeners
and Florists Association held its annual
Spring exhibition. The show was the
finest yet held. It has been proposed that
next year the show be held at one of the
large stores in order that the general
public may see and enjoy the beautiful
plants.

F. Rynveld of Rynveld & Son, Holland,
was a recent visitor to Montreal.

The Utilities Commission has placed an
order with Lord & Burnham for a $7000
greenhouse. ,

On March 22 the Hamilton Gardeners
and Florists Association held a .social
evening. There was a large attendance.
A program was rendered, after which
there was dancing and then refreshments.

National Hospital Day

Hospitals are to observe the first Na-
tional Hospital Day on May 12, the 101st
anniversary of the birth of Florence
Nightingale, pioneer in modern hospital
and nursing methods. The main idea of
National Hospital Day is to make the
public better acquainted with its hospi-
tals. President Harding, governors of
states and officers of corresponding rank
in Canada are to be asked to proclaim
Naitonal Hospital Day, including in their
proclamation some references to the work
,that is being done in the institutions hous-
ing the thousands of sick and wounded ex-
service men.

The observance of this day furnishes
florists a splendid opportunity to inJ
<;rease their sales, since the thousan<Js of
people who will visit the sick in the hos-
pitals will make it a point to bring flowers
with them.

Paibmokt, W. Va. — ^Miss Elizabeth
Weber, just back from the big flower
show in New York city, has brought with
her many novelties for the Easter trade.
They include fancy baskets, imported
vases, Japanese flower holders. French bas-
kets Of unique designs, French lustre pot-
tery, Kewpie doll vases, etc. W. N. B.

Basket of Saintpaulia ionantha, or African Violets

A plant little known to the florists at large. It was an Easter feature with W.J. Palmer & Son.
Buffalo. N. Y. It makes a most satisfactory presentation used in this way, or as a small
table plant, blooming continuouBly and profusely. The flowers are deep violet in color with a
yellow eye, and both foliage and flowers arc of a waxy texture. The Saintpaulia is easy to
propagate and grows readily under glass.

Lancaster, Pa.

Miirch 'jr>.~-l(ital doL's not fully express

{he wpatlier comlitious thiit Lancaster has

been favored with for the Easter business,

but it docs express the business itself. In

Bpite of tlie warm weatlier previous to

tbis date, the bulbous stock was in very

d shape and in enormous quantity;

■ .'[■ has Lancaster seen Hyiicintlis and

I'-i in the profusion that tliey were

Kastor, and in spite of this fact, all

: stock sold readily at fair prices. Of

-'■, after G p.m., there was a scramble

... ,lispo8e of the seconds at reduced prices,

Ibut anything that was presentable was

sold.

Kastcr Lilies were not over plentiful
.and were sold at 45c. and 50c. per bloom
[and bud.

I Thomas Fries bad a store in an unus-
ttial locality, but by liberal advertising, be
'^ ■ ' his full share of the trade and was
pleased with the business done.
liter Hammond's regular clientele pat-
:u/.cd him for their Easter stock and
i.Mv was enough additional customers to
1 ke it a record breaking Easter.
\[rs. Geo. Goldbach had the best selec-
11 nf stock that she has had for years
' did a business correspondingly large
profitable.

10 Kosary, "The Flower Shop on the
i"^quarc," sent out a direct mail advertis-
ng proposition just prior to Easter in the
Oiape of a beautiful folder and a real
floral blotter, which brought them many
[lew customers. This they backed up with
quality stock and service, which after all
19 said and done, is the only real adver-
:i9ing.

The B. F. Barr establishment with its
ramense range of glass to draw from had,
)f course, an assortment that the other
jtores could not duplicate. More business
han even the optimistic B. F. Barr him-
ielf anticipated was done. Usually they
let the use of an empty storeroom to
landle their Easter trade, but this season
;here were none available and street
itands were used instead, with very grati-
ying results.

Fred Rouf, Joseph Clerico, Frank Su-
;er, A H. Wissler and last, but not least,
Rudolph Nagle, all had street stands and,
vith these and what was sold at the green-
louses, added a big item to the volume
business done in the city.
Eohrer's Cinerarias, Primulas and Dais-
es added much to the Easter appearance of
very store in the city and partly made
p for the lack of the brilliant Azaleas
een in previous years.
H. A. Schroyer, who stocked up heavily
n stock from Philadelpjiia, had, of course,
ome of the best Roses and Hydrangeas in
he city and the better class of buyers
ere not long in finding this out, judging
rom the clientele in the store when I
lade my visit in the afternoon.
In cut flowers, Violets had a larger rxm
han for some years past, closely followed
y Sweet Peas. All sorts of Spring flow-
rs were in good demand, but taken as a
■hole, it was a plant Easter.
There was little grumbling at prices as
hey were not boosted beyond reason, and
^here there was an inclination -to not
uy on account of price, we had the ever
resent Pansy in wonderful glory and un-
mited quantity to appeal to the buyer
''ho wanted something for little money.

aster, What a Day it Was 1

Easter, the greatest day in the year
5r the florist and the biggest day in
oint of business, is now a thing of the
ast; and what a day it was! Ideal
jeather conditions prevailed and brought
[verybody out; and if there is a florist —
e he grower, wholesaler, or retailer — who
lid not clean out all salable stock, I
;ave still to hear from him. Prices were
;?asonable, in some cases from one-third
f> one-half lower than last year, which
!>ay account for some of the dealers not
bing as great a volume of business as
i.st year with its high prices. However,
(i number of sales and amount of stock
jioved, it was without doubt the biggest
'ly the florists ever had. From the
ireet merchant with his stand outside
le City Market to the best shops in the
ty, all report the same story — sold out,
ad it was not one or two items that

cU-aned up, but everything, from potted
Tulips to tiie bcHt ctit American Beauty
Hoses. On Thursday morning before
Easter the wholesale houses refused to
book any more orders for any item on
the list with the exception of bulbous
stock, and before the rush was over that
was also cleaned uj). Tlie retailer who
delayed placing his order in the thought
that stock would be i>li>ntiful and cheap
at the last minute got h-ft and with diffi-
culty got any stock at all. Stock in gen-
eral was in first class condition, and
there have been very few complaints as
to nuality.

The supply of Am. Beauty Roses was
small and many more could have been
sold. They brought anywhere from 10c.
for the shorts up to $1 apiece for specials.

The Rose cut was large, but not nearly
large enough to supply the demand, and
while Premier, Columbia and Butterfly
were the favorites, it did not seem to
matter what variety was oft'ered as long
as it was a Rose.

Lilies were the one big disappointment.
Contrary to all expectations there were
not nearly enough to go around, and no
orders were filled in full; it was simply a
case of dividing them up and giving every-
one his share.

Due to the shortage of Easter Lilies,
Callas had their innings. On an ordinary
Easter there would have been too many;
this year they cleaned up early at good
prices.

in spite of that, tlio lioriwts have jubt had
the biggest business in their history, and
with advcrtiHing and reasonable prices
there is no limit to what the business
can do hereafter. E. C. Tipton.

Hudson, N. Y.

Easter trade was one-third better than
last year; both cut flowers and pot plants
were cleaned out completely.

The Forest Flower Shop (G. C. Nie-
bergall, proprietor) is about to put up
another greenhouse, 25ft. x 150ft. of King
construction, in connection with its other
houses.

Aug. C. F. Obermeyer, Jr., who was
for many years with the late R. W. Allen
of Hudson, and Barnard greenhouses of
Claverack, has accepted a position as

Members of the Pittsburgh Gardeners and Florists' Club at the establishment of
Randolph & McClements, Penn, Ave., Pittsburgh, on March 9

The club had another successful field day on that date, the members making a tour of some of the
leading commercial places around the city.

Carnations were in heavy supply and of
good quality, but when the business was
over there were none left.

The supply of Sweet Peas was a disap-
pointment, not coming anywhere near the
estimated cut because of the warm
weather which prevailed during the two
weeks preceding and brought them on
before Easter. But this was nothing new
as there has never been an Easter when
there were enough Sweet Peas.

Lily of the Valley was another item that
suddenly came into its own after having
lost favor for the past two years on ac-
count of high prices. From all reports
there was more Valley used this Easter
than ever before.

Violets as usual were poor. They were
sweet and fresh, but were falling to such
an extent that most of them could not
be used.

Bulbous stock was in heavy supply and
the stock was in fine condition. While
at times it seemed as if the quantity was
too great to move, when the end came
they were all gone, and very few, if any,
had to be sacrificed.

Other seasonable stock, including Snap-
dragon, Calendula, Mignonette, Freesia,
Myosotis, Daisies and Baby Primrose,
cleaned up early.

Orchids were scarce and in good de-
mand; after Thursday it was impossible
to obtain any at any price.

Asparagus plumosus from the South ar-
rived in poor condition, and the most of it
was unfit to send out.

The business this year goes to prove
that with reasonable prices and a little
publicity the public will buy flowers. As
we. all know, the business depression is
general all over the coimtry, and every
line is complaining of poor business; but

grower for this shop, and will commence
his new duties, taking full charge of the
growing end April 1.

An addition to the sales department
has also been made in the person of Ches-
ter Rowe, who has been with several of
the leading florists in the West. The
motto of the Forest Flower Shop is "Keep
Her Smiling, Send Some Flowers."

' Newport, R. I.

Easter Trade

I March 28. — The Easter trade was

satisfactory in every way — plenty of good
stock on hand and everything cleaned up.

I More Lilies and Violets could have been

sold had they been available.
Azaleas were seen.

Very few

At the time of my call at Schultz's on
Saturday the crowd inside was so great
that we got no further than the door.
Today (Monday) the chief decorator, Mias
Allan, was too tired to talk.

At Eitchie's, a large store across the
street was secured for the occasion, and
with extra help on hand, everything was
sold and delivered in good season.

Samuel SmitVs Sons, farther out on
Broadway, were highly pleased with the
amount of business done. They raise all
stock required at their own greenhouses
in Jamestown.

Prices in some instances were lower
than last year. In cut flowers. Hoses
brought $3 to §5 per dozen; Carnations,
$2 per doz.; Violets, $3 per 100; Narcissus
and Daffodils, $1 per doz.; Callas, $3 to $5
per doz. Plants: Easter Lilies, 35e. per
bud and blossom; pans of Narcissus and
Daffodils, ?2 to $3 each. Genistas, Roses
and Hydrangeas in pots were quickly
disposed of at satisfactory prices.

Newport Horticultural Society

Instead of a retjiilar Inisiness meet-
ing; on Tucsduy evening this society, with
others inlcrestod, spent an enjoyable
liour HI listening to a most instructive
and cntejtaininK leitiire on 'TSTative
Plants" by Mcntnt'iip Free of the Botani-
cal Gardens, Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Free is
an excellent speaker and the beautiful
colored slides thrown on the screen were
so true to nature that many in the audi-
ence at the close of the lecture expressed
a wish to possess some of the gems shoivn
and asked the question "Wliere can we
buy them?" As an evening's entertain-
ment this was beyond criticism.

Samuel Smith's Sons, Jamestown, who
besides having a retail store there, and
one on Broadway, New York, also do
wholesaling, claim that they have at their
new greenhouses stock superior to any
ever raised by them. They have juat
adopted as their slogan the following:

"Advertising pays. If your bueinees ia
not worth advertising, advertise it for
sale.

The Market

March 28.— Lilies were cleaned up
by Saturday noon; many more could have
been sold if they had been available Al-
though practically the same amount of
bulbs was grown, the number of flowers
to the bulb was much lower than last year
which perhaps accounted for the shortage'
Also, Lilies sold for 35c. per bud at re^
tail, and we tried to convince the public
that prices were low and that every one
could have flowers this year. We are
trying to do away -nilh the idea that
prices of flowers are exorbitant and may
possibly profit from this in the long run.

Other Easter plants were sold out by
Sunday noon, except Hydrangeas, of which
there was a small surplus. Violets were
in short supply and in consequence all
other flowers suitable to wear were sold
out by Saturday night at fair prices. The
same can be said of otner cut flowers.

Five of Worcester's enterprising retail-
ers employed a large cooperative news-
paper advertisement inviting the public to
view their Easter displays. The ad was
attractively illustrated with a spray of
Lilies. WoKCO.

Enclosed with these notes was the front
page of the magazine section of the Wor-
cester Sunday Telegram of March 20,
which was entirely given up to an article
on Eastertide, including elaborate decora-
tions and a large illustration of a flower
decorated church (the photograph, by the
way, having been supplied by The Ex-
change). The story treated the subject
from various points of view — historically
as to legend, religion and custom, and also
in its flower relations, our correspondent
having contributed the horticultural data
and helped work up the really striking
leature.

"Best Easter in History"

The best Easter trade in history is
the report from practically all the flo-
rists around this section. Business started
off briskly the early part of the week
and increased each day. Many late com-
ers were disappointed, as Saturday noon
found every available Easter Lily sold.
Panned Hyacinths, Tuilps and Daffodils
were also cleaned out early, as were pot
Eoses, Bougainvilleas, Genistas and
SpiriBas. After these had gone the cus-
tomers fell back on Cyclamen, Primulas,
Begonias and ferns.

Cut flowers also sold unusually well, and
brought high prices. The greatest de-
mand was for Violets and Sweet Peas,
but when the supply of these was ex-
hausted, Eoses, Carnations, Daffodils,
Snapdragons, and in fact every kind of
cut flower, was in demand.

Mild weather all the week made the
work much easier than usual as regards
wrapping plants and shipping goods.

Exclusiveness

Some people believe that the moment a club or other
organization becomes exclusive it becomes hide-bound
and selfish, and fails to serve mankind in general. But
they overlook the fact that there are different kinds of
exclusiveness. Ohio, for example, is unique In having
a club that none may join until he has raised at least
100 bushels of Corn per acre on ten acres or more.
Such a club represents aristocracy sure enough, but an
aristocracy of achievement, to which all are eligible
who have skill, gumption, determination and energy
enough to justify their election.

There is another kind of aristocracy, that comes even
closer to the ranks of the florists, namely, an aristocracy
of cooperative support of a good work, of joint pro-
motion of an ideal. And to this any of us is eligible who
contributes to the National Advertising Campaign Fund
— or to any similar fund for local "Say it with Flow-
ers" publicity. Membership in this cause is the sign of
a thoroughly desirable and useful exclusiveness. Are
you exclusive in that sense?

If somebody — a nincompoop, a fool or even a man of
standing — was to circulate a report in the daily press
that you, Mr. Retailer, or you Mr. Wholesaler, had
boosted the cost of your Easter Lilies and other flow-
ers from 200 per cent to 2000 per cent, and held you up
to scorn as a profiteer, what could you do about it?
What steps could you employ to bring about a general
contradiction in the same papers that made the asser-
tion unless you had full trade authority through co-
operation, and the necessary backing to enforce the
correction? Such a statement was made in Chicago a
day or two before Easter. The Allied Florists of that
city got busy and speedily had the falsity of the charge
exposed.

"Spring's Delights Are All Reviving"

Who Said So

Two beds of red Tulips were seen in full bloom at
City Hall Park, Borough of Manhattan, New York
City, on March 28.

In Northern New Jersey Daffodils commenced to
show blooms March 24 and, due to the warm weather
on ensuing days, by March 27 the plants were begin-
ning to bloom profusely. After the warm weather of
Saturday, March 26, the day following Magnolia stel-
lata sprang into full bloom, as did Forsythias. On Mon-
day, March 28 and up to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the
thermometer had reached 78 deg. in the vicinity of New
York, and numerous other Spring flowering shrubs
were on the point of bursting forth; in fact, some of
the Magnolias did so. Then at 4 p.m. a strong, cold
rain and windstorm (78-miles gale) set in and Tuesday
morning, at 7.30, the thermometer in Northern New
Jersey registered down to 26 deg. with the result that
the blooms of Magnolia stellata were utterly destroyed.

This cold snap seems to have been pretty universal
throughout the East and Middle West and considerable
destruction of fruit buds is reported.

Further reports of the windstorm and drop in tem-
perature, which started in New York City at 4 o'clock
Monday, March 28 (when the thermometer was at 78
deg. and fell 30 to 40 deg. within two hours thereafter,
going as low as 25 deg. by midnight, indicate that in the
country surrounding New York City and from many
outstanding States, as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary-
land and Delaware, serious injury has been done to the
peach crop, in many sections the loss of that fruit being
reported as between SO per cent and 100 per cent, and
to early Strawberry crops as well as Raspberries. In
Southern New Jersey the blossoms of Peach, Pear and
Plum orchards were reported as dying as a result of a
drop of 62 degrees within 30 hours. The Huckleberry
crop of Southern New Jersey is reported as ruined. In
Delaware and on the east shore of Maryland indications
were that hundreds of thousands of dollars loss had
been caused farmers and fruit growers. From the
Middle West, too, come reports that this same storm
has caused damage at many points, equaling that caused
in the East.

The Cleveland National Flower Show

Only those who have followed closely the plannings
of the National Flower Show Committee can realize
to any appreciable extent the amount of time and
thought which has been spent upon the schedule and
upon attention to the many other requirements of a great
exhibition.

In this week's issue we are carrying further details of
the work of the Flower Show Committee, the most im-
portant of which has been its decision to institute a
competition at Cleveland for flower gardens covering
1000 sq. ft., the prize awards to be $1000 for each of
the best four gardens, with a sweepstake prize of $1000
for the best of the four. A decidedly attractive award
this, although we believe it is easily possible for any one
of the four leading exhibitors to spend far more on his
garden than the $2000 he stands to win. The arrange-
ment for this garden exhibit class was undoubtedly
brought about through the popularity of the four garden
exhibits at the recent New York Show. We notice the
schedule description requirements of these gardens is
moulded on exactly the same phraseology as was used
for the garden class at New York, and inasmuch as this
latter, in the opinion of many, permitted too many con-
structions to be read into it, we trust the committee
will see fit to draw closer lines as to "What constitutes
the best development of a garden."

At the New York Show, four distinctive ideas were
put forward, each one so diametrically opposite to the
other as to render it a difficult matter to come to a de-
cision. True, the judges themselves seemingly had no
differences of opinion but the people at large certainly
did. On the other hand, all four gardens, perhaps for
the very reason they were so distinctive, had their ad-
rnirers, and no one can deny but that they were educa-
tional in the highest.

Of the four gardens referred to, while all were beau-
tiful and complete in themselves, many critics openly
voiced their opinion that three of them appeared to be
but sections of a larger garden, inasmuch as few owners
limited to the given area of ground could or would
have so planted a garden. In other words these critics
aver there was staged but one approach to a real garden
such as is in the public mind as to "What Constitutes
a Garden?"

We note that provision has been made by the Na-
tional Flower Show Committee for bulb gardens sepa-
rate from the larger, general garden exhibits, and we
believe this is as it should be, although naturally bulbs
can be well included in the scheme of a general garden
outlay.

Another decision of great importance arrived at is
that dealing with uniformity in the trade displays. This
will be a grand good step in advance and, once Instituted
at one great flower show, the same idea will undoubtedly
be carried out In other future exhibitions, to their great
benefit, besides demonstrating to the public at large that
orderly arrangement and harmony are as easily attained
in a trade display as In the arrangement of the flowers
themselves.

Let The Public Pay for Your Advertising

Nmv York City, from March 14 to 20, enjoyed the
finest flower show that was ever held in America, On
March 27, one week later, the florists of that city en-
joyed an Easter business almost equally unprecedented
In \olume of orders and its "clean up" qualities, even
If lower prices kept the total value of the business from
exceeding a few high water marks of the past. Do you
set any connection between the two ?

We do, and our conclusion Is that any flower show
carefully planned, loyally supported, judiciously timed
and effectively advertised, constitutes an immensely
valuable feature to which the horticultural trade of
every live community may well give attention and
thought. To come right out with the Idea that Is bub-
bling in our mental caldron, why shouldn't every city
and good-sized town in the United States have Its an-
nual Spring flower show, to the everlasting enjoyment
and education of its citizenship, the everlasting credit
of its horticultural enthusiasts, and the everlasting bene-
fit of its florist, nursery and seed trades, and all lines of
industry appertaining thereto?

This is no Utopian, impracticable scheme. It simp '
calls for a definite plan, the solving of a few local pro
lems, the securing of adequate and thoroughly relial
assurances of assistance and participation, and a co
sistently maintained enthusiasm and local pride. (
course, no one expects- a city of 100,000 population
attempt a duplication of the International Show. B .
it can (1) conceive and create some main feature, su
as a garden or a mass arrangement (in which if coi
petition is inadvisable, the leading local growers cou
cooperate) ; (2) stimulate live competition in less
effects and in specific flowers, both for amateur ai
commercial participation ; (3) provide one or more hel
ful educational exhibits designed to promote mo;
easier and better gardening in the locality; and (■
support a trade exhibit of horticultural and closely alii,
interests that will not only widely advertise those lin
but also result in a generous amount of profitable bu!
ness for the firms taking part, and a good share of sui
profits for the show itself — or rather for those th
stand behind it.

Yet think not of the Flower Show as a potenti
money making scheme per se. Whatever profits mig
accrue would serve, first, to underwrite the whole affa
and assure its repetition In future years, and secoi
as a fund for local advertising to further promote tl
welfare of the floral Industry there.

A further benefit, indirect perhaps, but none the le
worth while, would be the enlisting of both trade ai
arriateur or private interests in one big, mutually ben
ficial cause. This contact would serve the ends of botl
It would bring the tradesmen in touch with new pro
pective customers; it would provide the local socie
folk with a new kind of excitement; It would ericoura;
friendly rivalry and the production of better flowe
and plants. Oh, it would have a host of good effects-
just set out to count 'em.

The time to start planning for 1922 is right noi
before Cleveland starts the ball rolling next year. TI
possibilities are great in every direction — Chlcag
Minneapolis, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Pitt
burgh— should be among the first cities to awaken i
the value to its growers and traders of the institutic
of the Spring Flower Show.

The Need of Gardeners— and Its Effects

"There is, today, according to reliable information
writes a correspondent, "a great scarcity of first-cla:
educated, competent head gardeners and superintenden
of estates capable of commanding good salaries." Th
situation creates a difficulty that not only prevents mar
wealthy people from enjoying beautiful surroundinf
that they would otherwise have, but also handicaps tl
landscape architect's profession which, were ther
enough superintendents and managers, would be calle
upon to design and create more gardens and beautifi
country homes. Finally— and this is most interestin
of all to us of the horticultural profession — more ga;
deners and superintendents, making possible more elab<
rate gardens and country estate!, would inevitably ore
ate an increased demand for nursery stock, plants, bulb
seeds and all the other materials in which we are ii
terested and upon which our business welfare depends

Our correspondent further suggests that in view (
the added importance of education these days, the co
lege graduate will enjoy a considerable advantage ovc
those men who can boast only a practical training, whei
ever he endeavors to make good the lack of esta
superintendents and gardeners. Of course a fund:
mental requisite in any individual is an Inherent likir
for such work as the position of an estate superintei
dent Involves, but this, in view of the great variel
encountered in such work, must be far from unconuno

Again, and at the other end of the scale, there rau
be Insured a fair return for one's labor and for tl
time and money expended in obtaining the training th:
will make one a thoroughly capable superintender
That this reward is bound to come In generous measu;
our correspondent, who has had occasion to becon
familiar with such conditions and their tendencies, fee
certain. This being the case he urges — and we are gl;
to pass on the suggestion — that more young men thir
seriously of attending various horticultural coursi
offered by the State College of Agriculture at Cornt
University and other similar Institutions in other Stati
and particularly of specializing in such courses as m:
be considered essential to a thorough training in tl
higher realms of practical gardening and in esta
superintendence.

The secretary of the college above mentioned,
Ithaca, N. Y., can give full information regarding tl
requirements needed by one who desires to enroll in
practical horticultural course and The Exchange wi
be glad to supply the addresses of other institutioi

Uninterrupted Foreign Trade a Requisite ^!5!^~

"Keep tlie hall of trade rolling" is in effect the key-
note ot a statement made b\' John H. l*atterson, presi-
dent of the National Cash Register Co., upon his return
from a four months' vi>it from Europe.

America, he says, has not permanently lost her world
leadership as some would have us believe, now that she
is no longer, or shall we say, not yet an active partici-
pant in the League of Nations' activities. It is only
necessary that she reassert herself in order to regain
this leadership, especially in the commercial field. Just
at present, says Mr. Patterson, .'\merica's part in solv-
ing the problem of getting the world on a normal basis
consists of extending credit to the stricken countries of
Europe in order that they may purchase essentials that
will enable them to get back on their feet. Owing to
her prosperity and immense resources America is the
only single nation that can be looked to for such an e.\-
tension of credit.

Mr. Patterson compares the present situation with
that of several years ago, during the "McKinley boom."
At that time we had a surplus of farm crops and
manufactured articles which Europe needed and which,
because Europe had the money, she bought and paid
for, to our great national advantage. Today, again, we
have a surplus of foodstuffs and manufactured goods
of many kinds, and assuredly European nations and
others, too, need these goods as they liave never been
needed before. The difficulty is that they need money
almost as much as they need actual materials and so
long as both are denied them they cannot possibly hope
for rehabilitation.

If we can and will e.xtend our credit to these needy
peoples, assuring ourselves, of course, of their sincere
expectations of making good and also of their indus-
trial ability to do so in some not too distant future,
we can help to hasten the stabilization of the exchange
situation, encourage international trading in general
and make possible the resumption of full speed produc-
tion in this country. All of these results are vital to
worldwide prosperity and comfort. They will react no
less favorably on the United States and its various in-
dustries and business than upon the suffering peoples
of the many stricken nations. Let us hope that neither
the common people nor the Government of this country
will fail to take the steps needed to bring about such
[results,

\ Care of Easter Flowers

Probably due to the advertising campaign of the
■New York Allied Florists, the New York Evening
World of March 26 published an article on the above
subject which it illustrated with an Easter Lily sketch.
Coming right on the very day the public was buying
flowers and plants this publication was opportune and
educational. Without the recent New York advertising
publicity it is doubtful if such an article would have
appeared in any one of New York's dailies.

School 'Gardens — Another of the Trade's
Opportunities

We are told, on the authority of the U. S. Department
; pf Agriculture, that the tremendously increased interest
in home gardening which characterized the war years
ind which proved so immensely valuable at that time,
las by no means died out since the Armistice was signed
and the world took up again more or less of its peace
:ime activities.

In other words, people have come to appreciate the
possibilities of raising their own vegetables, fruits and
flowers, have discovered that this can be done more
;;heaply than the materials can be bought for in the
: stores, and that the physical effort required more than
; repays the individual in the form of improved health
'ind increased happiness.

What then of the interest in school gardens which
also "during the period of the emergency" played an
important part in solving the problem of food produc-
:ion? We have just received a circular issued by the
School Garden Committee of the Society of American
Florists and sent to school trustees all over America,
n which Chairman Benjamin Hammond urges the pro-
notion and support of local school garden work. The
jchool garden, he says, "as an example and as an in-
:entive brings with it much pleasure and broadened
jnentality. The training tends to improve home sur-
roundings and a little instruction in gardening is likely
,0 establish habits of thrift and economy as well as of
iiroduction." The florist or seedsman in your town,
lie asserts, will be pleased to assist you in this work.
i It may be that he has not consulted every florist and
jwery seedsman in every community before making this
.itatement; nevertheless we believe he is right in sajang
,10, for surely if they but think for a moment of the
■ffects of school gardening on the minds of the chil-
Iren of today who are, as we well know, the men and
vomen of tomorrow, they must have realized what a
remendous power they are in fostering the buying

habit of the nation in so far as it deals with the products
of horticulture.

We feel, therefore, that this school gardens plea is
well timed and well phrased and we heartily urge
Florists' E.xchange readers everywhere to not only
render all assistance possible in promoting school gar-
den work when such assistance is asked for, but also
to actively contribute their help even before it is re-
quested; and indeed to take the lead in their several
home towns in instituting any movement that can con-
tribute to the advancement of the school gardens idea.

A Plea for Delicate Pastel Shades

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

Flo\ver growers in selecting seedlings in bloom from
hybridized seed to preserve for propagation will do well
to recognize the growing present taste among the most
artistic lovers of flowers for the half tones in colors and
shades.

As in silks and draperies and fine furnishings, and
the embellishment of a house, they choose the delicate
pastel shades rather than the glaring intense colors that
so many commercial growers like.

Some of the most beautiful tones in colors are to be
found in the mixed varieties of Zinnias, where may be
seen the soft, delicate and attractive shades.

Many commercial growers would throw out such
shades as undesirable in various classes of plants such
as the Peonies, Dahlias, Chrysanthemums and Asters.

The hybrid Aquilegias furnish many of the most ar-
tistic shades of color which contrast beautifully with
the more intense colorings. Growers should save what
many mistakenly call faded out colors, and they will
supply a growing demand for artistic blends. Grow for
form and color rather than size of bloom. Field-grown
flowers are more beautiful and natural than the dis-
budded ones, especially when plucked in sprays.

John Dutweiler

John Dutweiler, a nurseryman of Westbury, L. I.,
died on March 19. He was born in Zurich, Switzerland,
53 years ago and engaged in various businesses, includ-
ing a farm at Hicksville, L. I. For over 35 years he

was superintendent of the Hicks Nurseries, and he is
largely entitled to the credit of propagating and growing
the stock.

.Aroijnd his home, and on land purchased or leased in
the vicinity, he developed a most excellent nursery, mak-
mg a specialty of Japanese Yew, dwarf fruits. Mag-
nolia, Japanese Dogwood and various dwarf evergreens
which he discovered. He was an expert observer of
plant life, having some of the ability attributed to
Luther Burbank; he was able to see in a young plant
what its future development would be, thereby selecting
for lining out trees which developed into perfect speci-
mens.

He was the first to discover and report to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture that the Chestnut blight did not
seriously attack the Japanese Chestnut. This led the
Department of Agriculture to investigate the Chestnuts
of Eastern Asia where it was found that they had
developed partial immunity. In growing nursery stock
he developed and practiced a system of keeping the
ground loose early in the season and not letting trees'
crowd. He found that pruning Pines. Spruces and
Firs resulted in a weak growth of the lower branches;
after the pruning stopped the tree became unsightly
from a longer growth of the upper branches. He also
found that Oak trees do not make new roots from large
cut ends and are difficult to transplant, but that when
they make a second growth of leaves in Midsummer
they are successful.

Mr. Dutweiler was continually making experiments in:
methods of propagation, pruning and culture. He will
be gratefully remembered by many college students and
others as a good teacher, for he was always willing to
help others, being liberal not only with time and knowl-
edge, but with money in matters of community welfare.

He is survived by a widow and four daughters. Miss.
Ann Dutweiler, who served in France in the Army-
Nurse Corps and since the war in the U. S. Hospital,.
St, Louis; Miss Catherine Dutweiler, Mrs. C. R. Green,
Mrs. Oliver Sauce; and one son, John Dutweiler, Jr.,
who served with the A. E. F. in France. The funeral
was held at Friends Meeting House, March 22, and the
interment was in Friends Cemetery. H. H.

John Burroughs

Famous Botanist, Naturalist and Writer

When the late John Lewis Childs was in Los Angeles,
but a short time ago, he visited John Burroughs in a
hospital in that city, and expressed the thought that the
latter's vitality seemed low and that he scarcely ex-
pected him to live to come East. In this connection it
is certainly a singular incident that two such well-known
men should both have died on a moving train on their
way from the West to their Eastern homes.

John Burroughs was born April 3, 1837, and from
his earliest youth was credited with an uncanny knowl-
edge of the habits of insects, birds, small animals and
snakes. The history of his early life resembles much
that of scores of other men like him who, in later life,,
achieved great fame. He lived by far the greater por-
tion of the days of his life outdoors among the animals,,
flowers and trees to the study of which he was so pas-
sionately devoted.

His first writings of record began in 1867 and con-
tinued uninterruptedly up to the publication of his-
"Field and Study" in 1919. His life brought him into
close communion with such men as Theodore Roose-
velt, Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford. In earlier
days he had been a friend of Abraham Lincoln, Walt
Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Oliver Wendell
Holmes. As a boy he was a schoolmate of Jaj' Gould.
The acquisition of money was a matter which never
troubled him; neither did the pursuit for fame.

His value to the florist and nursery interests came
through his keen study of plants and many of his ob-
servations on the habits and tendencies of these have
indued to the good of horticulture.

One of the best testimonies of his life comes from
Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the .Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, who said: "In the
passing of John Burroughs, all who love nature and
feel kinship with other nature-lovers have suffered a
great loss. An earnest student of natural history, he
never lost the realization that Nature is a volume of
which God is the author. His appeal and his value as
a teacher of young and old alike make his death an
irreparable loss." And, again, another from Dr. Frank
M. Chapman, curator of the Museum's Department of
Ornithology, who said: "In spite of his over fourscore
3'ears, the news of John Burrough's death will be a
shock to those who loved him. His joy in -life was
ever so fresh and keen that he seemed to embod>- the
spirit of everlasting youth and, unconsciously, one
thought of him as immortal. In the example of his
life and in his works he has indeed achieved immor-
tality. No student of Nature has left the world a richer
legacy."

The burial of John Burroughs will be at Roxbury,
N. Y., in the Catskill Mountains, on Sunday, April 3,
the 84th anniversary of his birth, and near the spot
where he was born.

The Florists' Exchange

Fifth National Flower Show

Important Decisions Regarding Scheduli
Feature Planned For—

Cleveland, Ohio, March 25-April 1, 1922

-Uniformity in Trade Exhihits Proposed—
uarantee Fund Passes $16,000 Mark

-$5000 Garden

A meeting of the National Flower Show committee
was held at the Grand Central Palace, New York, on
Tuesday, March 15, at 3 p.m. There were present:
Chairman George Asmus, Secretary John Young, S. A.
F. President Thomas Roland, S. A. F. Vice-President
Adolph Gude, F. H. Traendly, Herman P. Knoble,
Patrick Welch, F. C. W. Brown, Carl Hagenburger and
A. F. J. Baur.

The preparatory work being accomplished by the
■ local committees in Cleveland was detailed in a report
made by Mr. Knoble. A meeting of the committees had
been held in Cleveland on the afternoon of March 13.
and the dififerent chairmen were most enthusiastic oyer
the prospects for the show. Each promised his heartiest
cooperation in a general effort to make the show a huge
success.

The Trade Exhibition

Considerable discussion ensued in regard to the ar-
rangements for the trade exhibits. In accordance with
the plan discussed at the Washington meeting relating
to the adoption of a uniform decorative scheme to
cover all trade displays, the secretary presented a sketch
embodying a layout, which the committee took under
consideration. The lack of such a decorative scheme
et the New York International Flower Show, then in
progress, was commented upon by different members of
the committee, and it was unanimously agreed that it
was the one weak feature of the show, the opportunity
for a perfect decorative scheme being lost because each
exhibitor had been free to work out his personal ideas,
resulting in a jumble of decorative effects far from
pleasing. It was decided that estimates from Cleve-
land dealers be obtained as to the cost of carrying out
the idea expressed in the sketch, including uniform rail-
ing and other details.

The rental for trade space was, on motion of Mr.
Knoble, fixed at $1.75 per sq. ft., this price to include
the erection of a booth after a style decided upon, suit-
ably decorated, and the official sign, which would also
ite made part of the decorative scheme.

Grand Capital Prize of $5000

There was a lengthy discussion as to the providing of
one principal exhibition feature of the show. It seemed
the concensus of opinion that this feature should take
the form of a garden, and, finally, on motion of Mr.
Roland, it was decided that provision be made for four
garden groups, for which $4000 be appropriated, with a

special sweepstake prize of $1000 for the most meri-
torious and adaptable exhibit in the class which is to be
open to all and known as the Grand Capital Prize Class.
The schedule description of the class was arranged as
follows; The best development of a garden covering
1000 sq. ft. An exhibit may include lawns, flower beds,
Rose gardens, shrubbery, borders, Rose beds, bulb beds,
or any exhibit that the artistic ability of an exhibitor
may suggest, as the widest latitude will be allowed in
the competition. The first four entries are to have pref-
erence in allotment of space. This capital prize is be-
lieved to cover the largest amount of money ever of-
fered in one class at any exhibition in this country.

It was also decided that all entrants in the capital
prize class must pay a guarantee fee of $200 to the
secretary, previous to Jan. 1, 1933, as an evidence of
good faith in the fulfillment and completion of an entry;
and that such fee should be forfeited if an entrant does
not complete his entry and make the exhibit. The fees
so paid are to be returnable upon completion of the
entries.

The committee was of the opinion that the prizes
offered in the schedule for a display of bulbs, etc.,
arranged as a bulb garden covering 500 sq. ft., were
too low, therefore it was decided that the prizes be
changed to read; First prize, $500; second prize, $300;
and that the offer of a gold medal in this class be with-
drawn.

Considerable time was devoted to a discussion of a
budget of expense covering the inauguration and dis-
mantling of the show, but no action was taken upon it
as a whole, the consensus of opinion being that with the
exception of a few appropriations which were abso-
lutely necessary to cover preliminary work, general ap-
propriations could be arranged for as required.

The secretary reported that up to the time of the
meeting the sum of $16,297 had been subscribed to the
Guarantee Fund, by the following subscribers :

Chrysanthemum Growers' Notes

Cuttings taken the first week in March should, by thisi
time, be well rooted, and no time should be lost in pot-
ting off same, in 2J4in. Shade for a few days to keep
them fresh and in good growing condition, as a check
now, means smaller flowers on the show bench or the
pride of the greenhouse reduced. A good light loam
soil is the best possible for small pots, and avoid the
rocks for drainage. If drainage is necessary, use a
small piece of moss to prevent the pot from becoming
clogged by the soil.

A lot of people are talking about the midge; now is
the time to check any you may see around. By follow-
ing these instructions, the midge may soon be annihi-
lated. Go over your plants and pick off leaves showing
infestation, and dump them in the furnace. Cover the
plants with a fine coating of Tobacco dust, and keep
plants covered until all signs of midge are gone. At
the same time, fumigate a few evenings about 11 o'clock
to catch any stray midge that may be flying around.

The main batch of Singles, Pompons and late flower-
ing 'Mum cuttings should now be taken.

British Want a Fixed Easter

So far as we are aware, there is no reason, sacred orJ
secular, for making Easter a movable feast, and ap-^
patently many English people think so too. That the"*
florists who have to time their crops for Easter, dislike
the early dates goes without saying, and it is reasonably
certain that the British horticultural trade will strongly
back the bill just brought into Parliament by Lord Des-
borough for making Easter a fixed date, viz., the second
Sunday in April. 'This would also fix the date of Whit-
sun which, in England, is a holiday following six weeks
after Easter. How about a fixed Easter here?

At the Eighth International (New York) Flower Show

Part of the plant display of A. L. Miller. Jamaica, N. Y. The exhibit covered some 60x10 ft. and was awarded a gold medal

White Carnation Adopted as Pres.
Harding's Flower

special Despatch to The Sun.

The Sun Bureau,
Washington, D. C, March 29.

President Harding appeared in his office
this morning wearing a white Carnation in
the lapel of his coat. Ferdinand W. Peck of
Chicago, who represented the United States
at the Paris Exposition in 1 900, called at
the White I~louse yesterday and requested
that the President adopt this flower during
his term.

Mr. Peck said that the white Carnation
stood for "Peace, Progress, Prosperity and
Purity."

"That is a mighty fine slogan," remarked
the President, as he adopted the flower as
his standard.

It was Mr. Peck, it is reported, who also
induced President McKinley to adopt the red
Carnation as his flower. If it is correct that
President Harding has actually consented to
wear a white Carnation daily for the next
four years this example of flower wearing, set
by the "first gentleman" in the land, could
well be followed by the rest of the men, and
women, too, throughout our country.

What Nurserymen's Efforts Are Worth

The occasional tendency of some of us — including at
times even nurscrjnnen themselves — to underestimate the
value of trees and therefore of the services of those
who raise and sell them, ought to receive a considerable
setback when we read that the Superior Court of Salem,
Mass,, recently placed a valuation of $300 apiece on
five shade trees.

This decision was a feature of a damage suit in which
the city of Salem as plaintiff was awarded a verdict of
SIOOO over the Salem Gas Light Co., as defendant, for
live trees killed by escaping illuminating gas near the
public library in the Summer of 1918.

No wonder the well planted piece of property sells
more promptly and for a higher figure than the treeless
iand shrubless home site. Nurserymen should never for-
get this, nor miss a single chance to put on the finishing
.touches whenever a new dwelling is erected, either as a
home or as a speculation.

Ornamental Crab Apples

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

The article published in your edition of March 19 on
"Ornamental Crab Apples" was most informative and
enjoyable. However, I think it would be interesting to
:have the expression of some others as to whether the
'"acme of perfection is reached in Bechtel's Double-
Flowered Crab." The writer has, doubtless, seen the
several varieties side by side in order to form an exact
Opinion of their beauty, but as my experience has been

limited to carrying the impressions of one to another
i^n a different place, I had concluded that "Schiedeckeri"

was really the most beautiful. Your writer well says
;:hat the Pyrus (Malus) "have not yet found their full
!jse in American gardens," for it is quite astonishing
iiow little is known of them, even by people who claim

0 haA-e a love for Nature and who spend money on their

gardens. I would like very much to hear the opinions
;3f some others as to the comparative beauty of the two
I'arieties named.

Rincus spernum jasminanda

The plant exhibited at the recent New York Show
interested me not a little for it was truly one on me.
I'm no botanist but, I felt certain that such a title was
not good Latin and, as I am dull of wit, I couldn't see
where it would fit anywhere.

A note from a friend, however, provides the key to
the mystery, Rhyncospermum jasminoides or to use the
more modern cognomen Trachelospermum jasminoides.
Simple enough when you stop to think. As the plant
was introduced from China or Japan back in 1846 it has
no claim to newness. W.

More About Heating with Oil

In which Gustave Thommen, who has heen diligently investigating this subject for several months
past, describes still another new oil heating apparatus.

j-|-rHE WRITER of this article has, within the last

1 I two years, given much attention to the develop-
■*■ ments and improvements which are constantly tak-
ng place in the application of crude oil as a heating
.gent for boilers and especially for greenhouse boilers.
The man who does not pay any, or little, attention to

j uch things can have no conception of how steadily and
n ever increasing degree crude oil is taking the place
if coal, wherever the facilities for obtaining oil exist.

'The fact that the manufacturers of oil burning equip-
nents are not able to keep up with orders is proof
;nough that the advantages which oil possesses over
oal are fully appreciated by men who know a good
hing when they see it. Any man who, like the writer,

jias seen oil-burning installations in operation in the
argest mills, hotels, theatres, hospitals, apartment

! louses and in single dwellings and cottages, also in very
arge and small greenhouse establishments, will never

jloubt that the age of coal is passing and that the age

I'f oil has arrived.

i In former articles the writer has given sketches of

ieveral systems of oil burning installations, and he has
nentioned a number of greenhouse establishments where

;he new liquid fuel has replaced coal and is giving the

LTeatest satisfaction. In every instance crude oil has

proven much more economical in all directions.

The Simplex Oil Burner

, Since my first writings about other oil burning sys-
i-ms, the Simplex Oil Heating Co, of Providence, R, I.,
Uys claim to having perfected an entirely new system
if its own which is exceedingly simple of construction
|nd absolutely fool proof. This system is said to have
j'on its way to the front within the last three years and
now to be seen in operation in hundreds of commer-

cial, industrial or home buildings. It is especially well
adapted to the heating of dwellings and large or small
greenhouses, on account of its great reliability in action
and its ease of operation. It can be installed without
any trouble in any steam, hot water or other furnace
in the dwelling. In many places the lady or the daugh-
ter of the house operates the burner in the absence of
the master of the house, and they are rather proud of
doing the job. And why not? All there is to do, to
start the fire, is to open one valve, turn on the electric
switch and push a lighted piece of paper into the lower
part of the firebox. Instantly the fire is started and
that is all there is to it. The oil flame will burn with-
out attention for weeks, day and night, or until it is
stopped purposely. The flame can be regulated at will,
so as to give more or less heat as wanted. In large
establishments, where many large or small boilers are
in use, the operation is just the same and one man can
attend to many boilers. In large boilers more than one
burner is usually employed.

When changing a boiler over from coal to oil the
grate bars are (It should be added that while the ap-
paratus is close to the firebox, the fan keeps it cool,
and when out of action the burner swings away from
the firebox) taken out and the whole interior of the
boiler, with the exception of the heating surface of the
boiler, is lined with firebrick. Nothing else is done to
the inside of the boiler. The nozzle which discharges
the oil spray into the firebox is introduced through the
fire door or ash door which fire door is never opened.
The whole oil burning apparatus is situated just out-
side the fire door. It is very small and compact, con-
taining few parts and all of these are designed so that
there is no chance of anything getting out of order. The
parts consist of a turbine fan which furnishes the air

needed for combustion and for atomizing the oil. This
fan is located next to the lire door, entirely enclosed.
The oil is conducted through a small pipe, at the end
uf which is found the discharge nozzle. This nozzle
revolves at the rate of 3600 revolutions per minute and,
in combination with the airblast from the fan, delivers
the oil in the form of a fine mist into the firebox where
it is ignited and consumed. The oil is pumped from
the supply tank by means of a simple and direct acting
liump driven through the worm gear which cannot get
nut of order and runs in a bath of oil. This pump is
clri\'en by the electric motor which also drives the nozzle
•■ihaft and the air fan. It is connected with the driving
shaft close to the boiler front. The motor is one-half
horsepower The whole arrangement, fan, pump and
motor, takes up the least amount of room (about ISin.
square).

The oil supply is kept in an iron or cement tank of
sufficient capacity. If needed the tank may be situated
some considerable distance from the boiler. The Sim-
plex system requires no pre-heating of the oil, either in
the tank or coming from it. This is one great advan-
tage over other systems where the oil must be heated
to a certain degree before it can be atomized. It burns
heavy oils as well as light.

The foregoing description, in a rough way, covers
about all the main points of construction and installa-
tion. After close study and observation in many places
the writer can safely say that the Simplex system is
eminently adapted for heating greenhouse boilers on
account of its simplicity of construction, its wonderful
ease of operation and, most of all, because it is abso-
lutely reliable in the matter of continuous performance.
The small amount of attention needed and the length of
time when the fire can be left totally to itself, consti-
tute another great point in its favor. There is no-
chance of anything going amiss as long as the motor
keeps going, and gears oiled occasionally.

General Information About Crude Fuel Oil

The heating value of one pound of dry coal is, in
B. T. U. for: Pocahontas, W. Va., 14,578; New River,
W. Va., 14,448; Georges Creek, Md., 13,987. Fuel oil,
between 18,500 and 19,500 B. T. U. per pound.

Good coal evaporates 14.66 pounds of water per
pound of coal.

Good oil evaporates 19.9 pounds of water per pound
of oil.

The calorific value of one pound of liquid fuel is 1.36-
times that of one pound of coal.

A barrel of oil, containing 43 gallons, holds 336-
pounds at 16 degrees Baume gravity, or .959 specific
gravity. It equals in calorific value 456 pounds of coal.

4.9 barrels of oil equal one ton of coal.

One ton of coal occupies about 43.5 cubic feet of
space; one ton of oil 39 cubic feet. Oil can be stored
under ground or overhead.

For the folloufing reasons boiler efficiency is higher
K'ith fuel oil than with coal:

Fuel oil burns more completely with less excess of
air and therefore less loss in chimney gases.

A constant rate of combustion and a constant fur-
nace temperature can be maintained with oil, because the
air supply and the oil supply can be kept constant. This
is impossible with coal.

There is practically no waste of fuel. Stopping the
fire is done by stopping the oil supply and is instan-
taneous.

The boiler heating surfaces always remain clean with
oil. The fire is started or stopped instantly. No waste
of fuel in the operation.

As no fire doors are ever opened for firing or clean-
ing the fires, every particle of heat produced is used
for heating.

The pressure of oil and air can be regulated and bet-
ter economy restilts from oil firing because the air for
combustion is under control.

No tools are needed in the fire room ; no ash cans nor
buckets ; no fires to clean ; no ashes to remove ; no fires
to bank.

No loss of fuel in getting up steam and steam can
be controlled. The fireroom space in front of boilers
need not be large because no space is required to work
the fires.

Florida vs. California

Charles Johnson of Marietta, Pa., ■who writes
this article, is acknowledged as keen an ob-
server as he is known to be an expert in the
seed line. Too, he has lived in California and
traveled Florida. Note what he says of the
opportunities for seed growing in the latter
state. It is worth looking into.

In reply to query on editorial page 418, issue Feb. 19,
headed, "Florida vs. California," permit me to express
my honest personal views.

Ponce de Leon certainly made no mistake when he

806

The Florists' Exchange

proclaimed Florida as the land of perpetual youth or
health. For the first time in my memory, this year, a
champion has arisen to announce the merits of Florida
as a health resort, in the person of John Wanamaker
of Philadelphia and New York department store fame.
Mr. Wanamaker has for a number of years had a de-
lightful Winter home at St. Petersburg, on the Gulf of
Me.xico coast side, not far from the city of Tampa.

Mr. Wanamaker in tlie splendid editorials which
always precede his page ads in the daily newspapers,
has been praising and endorsing very recently the lower
part of Florida as the greatest Winter health resort in
the United States, his preference being for the section
around Tampa, a beautiful, prosperous city of about
65,000 inhabitants, which seems destined to double itself
before many years. As said, Mr. Wanamaker's ideal
IS the eastern or Gulf of Mexico coast. There are
more than two hundred days of sunshine in the year
along the Gulf; the temperature is dryer and pleasanter
than on the Western or Atlantic coast. In Sumtoier the
nights along the Gulf are rendered cooler by the
breezes that spring up from the Gulf; there is never
the excessive heat that prevails during Summer nights
in our Northern States; in fact, the Gulf climate in
question is a sort of perpetual Spring.

I have been a number of times along both the At-
lantic and the Gulf coasts, and personally, I prefer the
Gulf coast, especially Tampa, St. Petersburg and Mana-
tee. On the Atlantic side the temperature at the present
time (Feb. 23) is warmer than on the Gulf, especially
at St. Augustine and Palm Beach. The lake country,
of which Plant City is the largest place, adjoins Tampa.
Look at your map. There are many hundreds of small
lakes in this lake country; the soil is magnificent, and
here rrtay be said exists the garden spot of Florida.
Vegetables of every description grow to perfection in
this lake country. The truckers everywhere here are
prosperous. It has seemed to me that a professional
seed grower could raise here seeds of the highest stand-
ard of Cabbage, Paris Golden Self Blanching Celery,
Lettuce, Cucumbers, Squashes, Cantaloupes, Casabas,
Egg Plant, Peppers, Tomatoes, Turnip; flower seeds of
leading varieties, besides bulbs of Canna, Calla, Glad-
iolus. Lily, Tulip, Dahlia, Tuberose— there is no end
of what ma}^ be done.

Pineapples are produced on the Gulf coast below
Tampa. California climate is too cold for Pineapples.

Jacksonville, 17.5 miles to the north of this section.

is in the frost country, and yet at Monticello, about 100
miles northwest of Jacksonville, same latitude. Water-
melon seed of the highest quality is extensively raised
for the large Eastern seed trade. Labor is plentiful in
Florida and cheaper than in other parts of our country.

Whispering to you softly I will say, what a prize this
part of Florida would be to the rice consuming Japa-
nese.

Whether it has been Mr. Wanamaker's clever adver-
tising, the fact is patent that the travel to California
has fallen away enormously since he started it.

Therefore, you may imagine that the secret of at-
traction, after all, is in the advertising. For years
California has been the best advertised State in the
Union. The luring literature of its railroads has led
Eastern folks to think that California is a fairyland;
that its climate is so wonderful that things grow there
like magic; that all one has to do is to lounge and pick
up lazily the gold that oozes out of the soil. These
masterpieces of allurement never tell of the California
Winter season when fires have to be kept burning, and
that it is not until Spring has come (about the middle
of April) same time as in the Eastern States, that Cali-
fornia's wild flowers burst into being, that (California
gets real warm and endurable; that then one may doff
his overcoat. Ch.\rles Johnson.

some years ago, and, as I recall it, I tried to raise fou;
different crops there. The first was killed by drought
the ne.xt one was doing well until, in time of stortn an<
rain. Lake Crescent overflowed and covered my croj
deep in water and drowned it out. I put in a thire
crop and it was killed by the frost.

"I ought to have known, of course, that a man is ou
on three strikes, but the umpire gave me another chance
As I recall it, we put in a fourth crop and, just as i;
was doing well, the wild hogs which run at large in tha'
country got inside the fence and cleaned up the croj
for me; then I retired from the game.

"The land lay idle for a number of years. Then tim-
ber thieves came along, tapped my Pine trees and stole
the turpentine; they cut down the best of the timbei
and got away with that. I then sold the propertj^ foi
about 20 per cent of what I had put into it. The mar
who bought it seems to have put a lot of coin into the
ground and I think it's buried there. Perhaps this was
not a typical experience with Florida land but I rathei
think it's generally a gamble, with a better chance ir
South Florida than up where my land was located
There are some people who appear to do fairly well,
but 'never again' for yours truly."

What Sometimes Happens in Florida

Accounts of actual experiences are often of value in
appraising the opportunities and possibilities of any
agricultural section. Consequently the following "hard
luck tale" of unsuccessful efforts in northern Florida
may throw some light from a new direction upon the
interesting subject of Florida vs. California. Of course
the personal factor is always of great importance, and
it is much less surprising to record failure when a man
attempts to operate such a proposition from a distance.
Indeed, one of the most essential requirements in any
horticultural or agricultural venture is personal atten-
tion, first hand study of conditions, and constant pre-
paredness for any emergency of whatever nature. Of
course this will not prevent drought or floods, but it
will insure safety where such is possible and prevent
loss where such is avoidable. Our correspondent writes
frankly and without resentment, as follows :

"I bought some land in Putnam County (Florida)

However, Dahlias are Being Grown in Florida

Bessie Boston (San Mateo, Calif) sends us one on
Florida ! A friend, hailing from Minneapolis, a gen-
tleman who was visiting in Florida recently, sent her a
postal card on the picture side of whjch was a field oi
flowers in impressive coloring, captioned, "A Field of
Dahlias in Florida." He wrote : "I do not know where
this Dahlia field is, but I am glad to know that Dahlias
grow so well in Florida. Some day I hope to have a lot
of your Dahlias on my Winter home grotmds here."

■There is no imprint on this picture post card to show
whence it emanated. The joke is that the field is one
of Zinnias, not one of Dahlias, and looks much like a
California picture. For all we know it might be a
scene of Zinnias in Mrs. Johansen's flower gardens at
Alhambra, Calif.

Easter came and went and many of us
are glad, especially so from a financial
point of view. The weather was ex-
tremely wet as it rained every day except
Good Friday. Even Saturday morning
it rained till noon and ruined most of
the flowers on the curbstone market, and
there were plenty. Most of these took
their wares back home as the public stayed
at home, not caring to venture out. This
made telephone business heavy in the
morning. After 12 the sun came out and
the public made a rush for the stores and
greenhouses; it was a problem to wait on
them. Also, deliveries became multiplied.
Before it was all over the shops were
calling on the wholesalers to bring in any-
thing that was salable.

Easter Lilies which had the lead, and
were scarce, brought 50c. a bud or bloom;
Hyacinths in pots, 35c. to 50c a spike;
double Tulips, $2.50 a doz. blooms; double
Daffodils were on the long side and were
sold as low as 75c. by one dealer, while
others got from 81 to $2. Single Daffs.
made %2.

Roses were sufficient to go around and
sold from $5 up for ordinary; choice Pre-
mier brought $15 a doz. Carnations were
short and sold from $2.50 to $4. Some
fine cut Lilacs made $6 a doz., and Sweet
Peas $5 a 100. Other items were Calen-
dula, Freesia, Lily of the Valley, Snap-
dragons, all of which sold well. Pot
plants, however, were in greater demand
than cut flowers. Besides those men-
tioned, there were Hydrangeas, Genista,
Cineraria, Primulas, Easter Greetings and
pot Roses.

The Heias Co. were sold out and had
to refuse orders at noon. They had 600
pots of Lilies as one item, and fancy bas-
kets of Pansies were another good line.

J. W. Rodgers also sold out clean as
did Miss Young, M. Anderson, T. W.
Ritter, S. D. Johnson, Furst Floral Co.
and others.

W. W. Horlacker and John Bothner re-
port the best business ever.

The Zetlitz Floral Products Co., not
being in the retail business last year,
could not say how much better they had
done, but any way, Rolf had a smile on
his face a yard wide and said he was
well pleased.

The Abbey Ave. Greenhouses had a
good wholesale business all week and fin-
ished up Saturday with a splendid retail
business. The big items were Sweet Peas
and a fine lot of Lilacs.

All in all, it has been noted that those
florists who were in on the cooperative
ads were doing the best business.

Kalamazoo, Mich.

March 28. — The Easter business proved
as satisfactory as anticipated and fortu-
nately the weather condition on Friday
and Saturday, although threatening rain
most of the time, was really warm and
Springlike, so that it was easy to make
deliveries without much wrapping. Early
in the week the shipping trade came
along most satisfactorily, and although
prices were reasonable, the volume of or-
ders balanced up nicely. Carnations were
quoted from §6 to $8 a 100; Lilies, 25c. a
bloom, while Roses ranged from $8 to $20
a 100, which enabled the retailer to charge
from $2.50 to $5 a doz. Some sold Car-
nations as low as $1.50 a doz. (and they
were good flowers at that) up to $2.50
for the choice, but the bulk went for
$2 a doz. downtown. Callas sold for about
$5 a doz. Easter Lilies, the same; Violets
and Peas, 50c. and 75c. a 100, according
to quality and where you bought them.
A large business was done in pot plants of
Lilies and pans of bulbs like Hyacinths
and Daffodils, the latter apparently being
popular to place on the cemetery lots.
Many Lilies and other plants were used
by the churches as usual this year, and
it is a regular custom here to donate
these plants to the hospitals after the
services, a practice worthy of notice and
one that has great possibilities if properly
pushed; indeed, one might suggest it would
be worthy of consideration of various flo-
rists clubs to take charge of the hospital
deliveries after the churches were through
with them at their own cost. Of course,
this means extra work to the over-
worked florist, but then we must push
every possibility to the limit in order to
make good clearances in dull times. Alto-
gether, we may say Easter business was
one of good volume with moderate prices.
As usual some big funeral orders added
considerably to the total of the cut flower
end of the trade. S. B.

Morris Co. (N. J.) G. and F. Society

There was a good attendance at the
monthly meeting March 24. President
Brown staged a vase of well-grown Lark-
spur, scoring 85 points. C. Barbanes' vase
of stocks, Mt. Blanc, the individual flow-
ers measuring 2in. across, scored 90 points,
the judges being S. Golding, R. Tyson and
D. Francis.

The monthly essay was omitted as the
society had considerable business on hand.
A. Herrington and C. H. Totty spoke of
the New York Show and their experiences
there, also thanked the members for their
help this year and in the past. Mr. Totty
asked that all should assist and forward
any suggestion for improvement to the
Flower Show committee.

Silver cups are still coming forward for
the Society's Jubilee Show, the total of-
fered now being nineteen and more are
forthcoming. J. F. Piper made a motion
that the society should encourage the
monthly exhibit by presenting the com-
petitor scoring the largest number of
points with medals or suitable presents
for their efforts. This motion was unani-
mously accepted by the members.

Two new members were elected.

J. F. P.

ton spoke on our society and Frank Bowne
replied for the guests. James Young
gave songs, also Robert Purchell, Thos.
Twigg and Charles Plumb. W. J. Collins
of Carters, Boston, and Mr. Wallace of
Carters, Glen Cove, spoke for the seed
trade.

The dinner committee received a hearty
vote of thanks. President Noonan out-
lined his program for the year and Toast-
master Burns received a hearty vote of
thanks and three cheers, bringing to a
close a most enjoyable evening.

Nassau Co. (N. Y.) Hort Society

The monthly meeting of the above so-
ciety ws held on March 9 in Pembroke
Hall, Glen Cove. President William
Noonan occupied the chair. Two peti-
tions for active membership were received
at this meeting. The committee reported
the schedule for the Tulip Show and from
the variety and number of classes, all
should be able to compete. William Car-
ter told of his recent trip across the pond,
stating he had a good time over there.

Exhibits for April 13th meeting will
be 25 string Beans, 12 spikes mixed An-
tirrhinums and one pot of Primula ob-
conica.

The society held its annual dinner on
March 15. Mayor James Burns of Glen
Cove City, acted as toastmaster. About
100 members and guests lined the festive
hoard. Mayor Burns presented a small
token from fellow members to Ex-Presi-
dent Twigg, who replied with a very
witty speech of thanks. John F. Johns-

Easter Trade Notes

Never in the history of the flower
trade in New Haven have the stores had
such a wonderful display of flowers in
their windows as was exhibited in ex-
quisite arrangement during Easter week.
All the florists laid in unusually large
stocks and by Wednesday what available
space there was was filled to capacity.
With the exception of Violets, stock in
general was good. Our slogan "Say it
with Flowers," was in evidence every-
where— in the newspapers, in the stores
and on the panels of the delivery wagons
— and the public liberally responded to the
suggestion. The stores were thronged
from Thursday until Saturday night. All
the dealers more than doubled their sales
force and delivery, but even then it seemed
impossible to keep up with the rush of
buyers.

Easter Lilies were quite plentiful and
sold readily, as usual, but they are not
in demand as formerly to the exclusion of
other flowers, and constituted only .«.
small percentage of the total. Bulb stock
in pans sold most readily and was the
first stock to become exhausted. Potted
climbing Roses make a beautiful display
and are becoming very popular. By Sat- i
urday afternoon there were no more potted j
plants and then the cut flowers began to j
go until completely sold out; even the
show windows were robbed, and by Satur-
day evening the stores presented a very ,
bedraggled appearance, including the at- !
tendants, but no one cared; they went
home tired out. War. J. Rathoeber.

Easter Prices and Conditions

Mar. 26. — The unanimous verdict
of the wholesale cut flower market of this
city is that the supply of cut flowers
and the demand for these and the prices
obtained on the Saturday before Easter
were in general satisfactory. There are,
however, some exceptions to this general
statement. The demand for double white
Killarney Eoses on Saturday and Satur-
day night and Sunday morning was ex-
tremely disappointing and a large part of
the arrivals were unsold and had to be
carried over until Monday. Freesias, too,
of good quality and for which it was ex-
pected that there would be at least a
medium demand, had small call from the
retail stores on Saturday and Sunday
morning, and a large proportion of the
supply of this flower also remained unsold.
The Violet situation, as well, was highly
unsatisfactory. The Duchess County (N. I
Y.) growers, instead of shipping their
flowers to New York, it is reported, sold i
the majority of them to the Violet Grow-
ers' Association of that county, who dis- '
tributed them direct to the retailers. '
Many poor Violets arrived on Saturday
with some of good quality. The poor ones
were disposed of with diflieulty at low
prices and those that were comparatively
of good quality were easily sold at fairly
satisfactory prices; the poor ones remain-
ing over had to be disposed of at low
figures. I

Of Am. Beauty Eoses, special grade
blooms, there was a sufficient supply to
meet all requirements; in the morning
these sold at 60c. to 11.25 each, but in
the evening their price declined to 50c.
to $1 each. Other grades sold at corres-
ponding prices. Top grade blooms of
other Eoses brought from 6c. to 8c. each
for the old time pink and white Killar-
ney and Maryland, up to 30c. each in
general; Hadley of this grade sold for 60c.
to 75c. each. Key at about the same price.
Premier at 40c. to 50c., Crusader at 35c.
to 40e. Not a few of the special grade
and extra special grade blooms of the pre-
ferred varieties remained unsold and were
carried over until the next week to be dis-
posed of at about half the price of Sat-
urday. No. 2 grade blooms sold at $3 to
$8 per 100; the slow demand for the
double white Killarney we have already
mentioned.

The medium supply of Carnations
cleaned up well at prices ranging from
?5 to $10 per 100.

Cattleyas met with a satisfactory de-
mand at about the following prices for the
several varieties: Schroders 40c. to 75c.
each, trians 75c. to $1.50, mossise $1.50
to §2. Gardenias met with a fair demand
at $2 to $5 per doz. and Lilies at $25 to
$35 per 100. The supply of Lily of the
Valley was far in excess of the demand

for it and prices ranged from $2 to $6
per 100.

As regards bulbous flowers there was a
fair demand for Callas at $1 to $4 per
doz., the $4 price being exceptional. The
preferred varieties of Narcissi moved
moderately well at 40c. to 60c. per bunch
with a few sales at 75c. Tulips did not
meet with an active demand; Darwins of
good quality sold for $1 to $1.25 and oc-
casionally $1.50 per bunch, and other
Tulips at 25c. to 60c. per bunch, with a
few at 75c. Freesias, which with some
wholesalers were in large supply, met
as we have before mentioned, with a dis-
appointing demand, much stock arriving
in a too advanced condition; some of
these were disposed of at prices ranging
froni 20c. to 50c. per bunch, the rest were
carried over into the next week.

In miscellaneous flowers Antirrhinum
was in extremely large supply, indeed far
above the demand, and sold at 50c. to
$1.50 and occasionally $2 per bunch; much
of this stock was also carried over. The
small supply of Acacia sold at $2 per
bunch; yellow Daisies at $1 to $3 and oc-
casionally $4 per 10; Iris about $3 per
bunch; Lilac, of which there was a rather
small supply, at $1.50 to $2.50 per bunch;
Delphinium, a moderate supply, at $2 to
$4 per bunch; Myosotis, for which there
was hardly any demand, at 5c. to 15c. a
bunch; Pansies, moving very sluggishly, at
about $1 per 100 for the best. Stocks met
with a rather slow demand at about 15c.
per spray for the best; Sweet Peas met
with an active demand at $2 to $4 per
100; Violets, double, 75c. to $2 per 100;
single, $1 to $2.

All greens met with a satisfactory de-
mand at quoted prices.

The Market

March 29. — The general demand for
cut flowers yesterday and today, Tuesday,
is far from active, but conditions are ap-
parently no worse than they usually are
during the two or three days just after
Easter. The fact that there is consid-
erable stock intended for Easter sales left
over does not help the situation. A better
measure of conditions can be obtained
after the market returns to really normal
conditions, which will probably not be
before the last days of this week.

Am. Beauty Eoses, special grade blooms,
are selling at 35c. to 75c. each; other
grades at corresponding prices. Other
Eoses, special grade blooms, are selling
at 6c. to 50c. each and No. 2 grade blooms
at $2 to $5 per 100; the demand is slug-
gish.

Carnations are moving fairly well at
from $3 to $8 per 100. Cattleyas are
moving out slowly at 35c. to 60c. each for
Schroderce, 75c. to $1 for triaUEE, $1 to
$1.50 for mossias.

Gardenias, Longiflorum Lilies and Val-
ley are all meting with a slow demand;
the first at 50c. to $4 per doz.; the second
at $10 to $15 per 100; the third at $2 to
$5 per 100.

All bulbous stock is moving slowly. Cal-
las at $1 to $2 and occasionally $3 per
doz.; Daffodils at 25e. to 50c. and oc-
casionally 75c. a bunch; Tulips at 75c
to $1,25 per bunch for Darwins and the
others at 25c. to 50c. per bunch.

Miscellaneous flowers are all in sluggish
demand; Acacia at $2 per bunch. Antirrhi-
num at 25c. to $1 per bunch. Daisies at
$1 to $3 per 100, Myosotis at 5c. to 10c.
per bunch. Lilac at $1 to $2 per bunch,
Panises at 50c. to $1 a 100, Stocks at 5c.
to 12c. a spray. Sweet Peas at $1 to $3 a
100, double Violets at 40c. to 75c. and oc-
casionally $1, and singles at 40c. to $1 per
100.

Greens are moving in general sympathy
with the flowers at quoted prices.

The general verdict of the wholesale
and retail florists alike is that the vol-
ume of sales and the prices obtained
at Easter were fairly satisfactory. The
next holidays in the florists' calendar,
which are expected to stimulate the de-
mand are Mother's Day, Sunday, May 8,
and Memorial Day, Monday, May 30.

S. Hanfling Co. Sell Flower Show
Samples

S. Hanfling Co., which made such
an attractive exhibit of baskets, florists*
supplies in general and novelties at the
International Flower Show, reports that
it is very well satisfied with the business
which this exhibit brought to it. At the
close of the flower show, Jos. Trepel, the
I well known retail florist, who has, we are
' informed, the largest number of stores of
any florist in Brooklyn, bought the entire
j sample display of stock from the Han-
fling Co., for his flower shop at Namm's
store at Fulton and Bond sts., Brooklyn.
Max Schling, the retail florist, who for
a long time has been doing the largest
daily newspaper advertising of any flo-
rist in this city, is also placing his adver-
tisements now in a number of the elevated
road stations in this city.

Le Moult, who for many years has been
conducting a retail florist's business at 202
Bowery, and who recently changed his
place of business to 51 W. 28th st., was
fortunately able to open up his new
store during the pre-Easter week and to
transact a large Easter business in his
new quarters.

Harry Le-\vy, one of Max Schling's right-
hand men, had the misfortune on Tuesday,
I March 15, to break his right arm while
j cranking his automobile. Mr. Lewy, nev-
] ertheless, was seen at the big store in
the pre-Easter days hustling as usual and
I trying to make his left arm do the work
' of two.

David Clarice's Sons Store Burglarized

Burglars opened the safe in the
flower store of David Clarke's Sons, 2141
Broadway, sometime Sunday night and
took Easter receipts amounting to about
§1,100. The robbery was discovered at
1 o'clock Monday morning when a pa-
trolman found the store door open. The
safe door had been drilled and ripped off.
A sectional crowbar, two drills and a
pair of gloves wen; found in the place.
Entrance to the store was made through
the basement door -v'ith a key. The police

Easter Trade Report

March 28.— The Easter trade of
1921 passed with general satisfaction to
all. While the trade anticipated a good
business, there were some misgivings that
it might not come up to expectations ow-
ing to the general business depression
that prevails. In this the plant and cut
llower sellers, both wholesale and retail,
were agreeably disappointed. It was
all that was expected, and more too.

There was more than the usual rush of
additional orders to supplement advance
orders during Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, the three big shipping days of
the week. There was enough stbck to
meet all additional demands to the last
which added greatly to the general satis-
faction of the week's business. All orders
were filled in full, with the exception of
Lilies, which were notably the sliortest
item of stock of all the offerings for the
week's trade. Pot-grown Lilies are, as a
rule, not handled by the wholesalers;
these go direct from the growers to the
retailers. All this stock was in the hands
of the retailers more than a week before
Easter, the growers having completely
cleaned up on all that was in bloom. i?here
were more cut Lilies than pot grown, but
still far from being enough for the de-
mand. Only one or two houses had any
whatever during the few last days of the
week. The Lily question was a problem
this year and growers were at their wit's
end as how to handle their crops to the
best advantage. A standard price of
25c. per bud and bloom was set some
weeks in advance and large bookings were
made on that basis. There were some,
however, that sold for less on early or-
ders. There were others who had their
ear to the ground and otherwise felt the
pulse of the market that held on to the
last, getting the maximum price of the
season. Most Lilies sold Thursday and
Friday brought anywhere from $30 to $35
per 100.

_ The Rose situation may be said to have
hit the equilibrium of the occasion.
There was plenty of them and all moved
at list prices. All orders were filled and
nothing left over. It is seldom on a great
occasion like Easter that such a happy
combination of circumstances existed.

In Carnations, however, the conditions
were different. There was a large supply,
and nearly all of excellent quality. For
some reason or other, buyers did not favor
them for their Easter supply, and as a
consequence the supply was well in ad-
vance of the demand. The Carnation
market broke Thursday when hundreds of
telegrams were sent to large buyers of-
fering stock at from 30 to 40 per cent
less than the list prices for the week.
This moved a considerable amount of the
oversupply, but there was still enough left
for local buyers on Saturday at $3 per
100, or 50 per cent less than list prices.
This was unfortunate as the trade, both
local and shipping, had been supplied, and
at that all did not move; this applies es-
pecially to white; the colored varieties
move best. Growers who were expecting
the list price of $6 and $S per 100 will
have to face a little disappointment in
their returns.

Bulbous stock of all kinds was plentiful
and in fine condition; buyers took to it
with avidity, but there was so much of
it that there was a lag in sales toward
the close of the week. Some few houses
had small supplies left over, while others
closed out at a price sufficiently attrac-
tive to move it in lots.

There were plenty of Cattleyas, Valley
and the little corsage Eoses, all of which

ivere in popular demand. Sweet Peas and
Violets, two important factors in corsage
work, were notably in short supply. Ten
days of warm -weather that preceded Eas-
ter put these crops to the bad. Their loss
■was particularly felt as corsage work was
a distinctive feature of the day.

The market opened actively Monday,
showing the retailers had a good cleanup,
and there is lots of stock coming in. It
looks as if there will be no after Easter
lull, as many of the houses report wedding
and decorative work for social events
during the week. With Easter and the
Lenten period past the most agreeable
part of the season's work has already
started. It is the general impression that
the next three months' business will be as
good as any ever experienced in the cut
flower trade.

The Retail Trade

The retailers report a satisfactory
trade; with many of them it was larger
than a year ago. It was most gratifying
to them from the vieivpoint of the satis-
faction given customers. There was plenty
of stock and prices were reasonable all
around. On occasions like these when
stock is scarce and prices as a conse-
quence high, the same feeling does not
exist between the buyer and seller, as it
does when conditions are easy as they
were the past week. There was no over-
charging, regardless of the fact that the
public had been warned through the daily
press that the florists were profiteering.
The warning went imheeded; it rolled off
without a ripple and the public bought
to their hearts' content.

Thursday and Friday were two wet
and gloomy days which threw consterna-
tion into the hearts of many retailers who
had bought heavily. They feared a loss,
as no doubt much business would have
been accomplished on these two days. Sat-
urday, however, brought joy instead of
gloom; shoppers were out in force, the
weather was ideal, and an immense busi-
ness was done. Nearly all the retail stores
were opened Sunday, and the Sunday

"JAY EM" Says:

This is a great age !

Great has been the development of the
Chicago Wholesale Cut Flower Market
since its establishment by a small com-
mission business in cut flowers. This was
in 1881 by Kennicott Bros., then known
as Amasa and Flint Kennicott, and was
the modest begining of Chicago's whole-
sale flower business, grown today to
monster proportions and destined to
undergo still greater dievelopments and
possibly more radical changes.

The day for efficient greenhouse con-
struction, production, and management is
HERE ! We begin with permanent
greenhouse construction, production of
quantity and quality, conservative pro-
gressive management, all made possible
by automatic watering, automatic heat-
ing, and refrigeration, scientific plant
breeding, automatic temperature regula-
tion, and after that a machine made plant
with efficient labor to guide the mechan-
ism to complete cut flower production.

Stock coming to the Chicago whole-
sale market in uptodate trucks and
cheques going back by airplane mail. All
this is in sight for Chicago.

That's all ! That's enough !

The Market

March 29.— Yes, the market went
down. One could ahnoat hear the dull
thud with which it struck the bottom the
day after Easter. There were few buyers
to be seen. Good reason, too. The retail-
ers stood in line at the banJks, waiting for
a chance to put their well earned sheekela
where the mice could not get at them.
But, fun apart, there was little doing on
Monday and Tuesday, if one does not
count the drop of oOdeg. in temperature
which took place during the night of Mon-
day. Records came in of thermometers
registering as low as 20 degrees. Some
change from 85 of a day or two before.

There was enough and to spare of all
sorts of stock. Roses fell away in price
all along the line, at both ends, and like
Carnations, did not clean up. The high-
est figure for Hybrid Teas did not go
above 20c. for the beat grades, with short
lengths going as low as 3c. and 4c.

Carnations were anxiously looking for
friends to take them home at any figure
from 6c. up to 8c. Some few fancies made
a little more. Carnation business was
'Tjxun." Callas and white Lilies were
absolutely neglected. Freeaias and Paper-
whites fared no better. The demand for
Sweet Peas was poor, holding them down
to_ 3c. for the very best. Pansiea and
Violets went begging at a cent or a little
over. It is hardly worth while to linger
longer over the sad story. Even the blue
Iris which could boast of $8 a doz. last
week, would thank you if you offered $3

— which, of course, you didn't. Let us
fervently hope that, like those jags of
pre-Volstead times, these sorry conditions
will mend before the week has ended and
let us remember that the sun has not gone
out of business or ever will.

Easter Trade in Boston

The Boston florists are congratu-
lating themselves upon having experienced
what one may just as well call, the best
Easter trade in their history. Not only
was the weather perfect overhead and
underfoot and delivering and shipping no
trouble at all but, thanks probably to a
deliberate and well conducted advertising
campaign, collectively and individually,
the crowds and orders poured in as never
before^ so that Monday morning foimd
the stores and greenhouses comnletely sold
out with the exception of some of the
biggest and highest priced plants. Every-
thing in the shape of popular sized plants
went with a rush.

As predicted before, the supply of pot
Lilies fell short of the supply; they were
sold out altogether by Friday evening and
many more thousan(fe of pots could have
been disposed of. The price for pot Lilies
at wholesale ranged from 20c. to 25c. per
bud and toward the end 30c. could be
got. Many orders placed at the green-
houses long before Easter were not filled
in whole to the great chagrin of the stores.
Pot Roaes, up to six or seven inch size,
sold out clean and the supply was prob-
ably just about right. Larger sized plants
were sticky and some of the largest sizes
were left on hand. Of Hydrangeas, of
which there was an enormous supply of
extra fine plants of all the French varie-
ties, the same may be said.

It was the public at large that went
into buying plants and it wanted the
medium sized and priced goods. In the
best or better stores it was universally
noticed that the "high elite" had curtailed
their buying very largely and the "never
mind the price" orders of the last few
years were conspicuous by their absence.
Charge orders from the rich and very rich
were few.

Genistas were on hand in plenty and
fine material; they sold freely, but the sup-
ply was a trifle too laree. Pot Daisies
also sold well, all except the very largest,
of which a few remained imsold. The
same happened to the very big Azaleas, of
which some very fine specimens were to be
seen but, because on account of their present
scarcity a stiff price had to be asked; some
of the finest specimens found no buyers.
It was a poor man*8 and middle class
market. Yet, at that, the just mentioned
buyers did nobly. Outside of the above
mentioned varieties of plants there was
little else offered. Some Cyclamens and
other odds and ends did not cut much
of a figure. The quality of all plants sold
was of the highest and the prices asked
were quite reasonable as compared with
last Easter. Conditions for shipping could
not have been better.

Coming to cut flowers, it must be men-
tioned that the outoftown trade in these
was enormous, some of the wholesale ship-
ping houses had the job of their lives and

■worked everlastingly to fill their orders.
They did it through in good style. The
supply of cut flowers seemed to fall short
at one time and, for a spell, it looked as
if Carnations would not go round. When
it was apparent that these flowers could
not be bought in the market for less than
12c. and 15c. the stores stopped buying,
because they could not afford to ask more
than $2.50 or $3 a doz. and so all the
Carnations sent to the market did not
get sold, although toward the end, the
price was lowered. Also there was con-
siderable complaint that the keeping quali-
ties of the stock was in many instances
of the poorest. This is one more example
of how some growers will never learn, but
always try to be a little too smart, when
they salt their Carnations down. The pub-
lic has by this time been very thoroughly
educated to buy and use flowers, thanks
to the persistent advertising campaign,
but this same public can never be edu-
cated to buy stale flowers. A campaign
of education, in the way of everyday
ethics and the golden rule, is very much
needed for some of the hardshell variety
of growers. These men are the bane of
the cut flower trade.

Roses were in sufficient supply in all
varieties and the quality throughout was
good or very good. They sold well at an
average of one cent an inch or a trifle
over. Am. Beauty were in fair supply
and had a fair call, selling as high as $1.50
for the best.

Of cut Lilies there were not enough by
long odds. They sold for from 20c. to
30c. Callas had to take the place of

Easter Trade in Philadelphia

The Easter business for 1921 in this
city was excellent from all angles, al-
though it did not measure up to last
year when the peak in prices was reached.
This year it was more voliune at lower
prices. The general demand even in the
fashionable shops was for medium priced
flowers and plants. There was an immense
amount of plants available and the dis-
plays on the streets in the business sec-
tions, reminded one of pre-war days. The
demand for plants cleaned up the visible
supply with one or two exceptions. From
all reports, the retailers and wholesalers
are well satisfied and as far as the plants-
man is concerned, he was sold out over a
week ago. There was an unusual demand
for Hyacinths; Lilies firmed up on Sat-
urday to 25c. a bloom wholesale, from a
steady level of 20c. for the week. Roses
and Hydrangeas were probably finer this
year than ever before. There was a limited
supply of Azaleas and a few Spirsea with
prices high. The supply of Genistas, Eri-
cas and Gardenias was limited. The sup-
ply of Hyacinths, Tulips and Daffodils was
fully 50 per cent larger than last year,
but it fell short of the demand. The
warm weather ushered in the largest sup-
ply of cut flowers ever seen at Easter
time in this city. The shipping trade was
extremely heavy up to Friday. The local
demand did not start until Saturday
morning and increased heavily toward the
close of the day. Prices firmed Saturday
afternoon.

The hot weather brought in an ava-
lanche of Sweet Peas, but the market was
clear of Peas Saturday afternoon. Prices
scaled from $1.50 to $4 a 100. The sup-

ply of Roses was large and of excellent
quality. The top level on some special
Hadley was 75c. Top on Russell was 50c.,
with a good supply grading down to 10c.
Premier, Dunlop, Pilgrim and Columbia
touched 35c.; Ophelia, 25c; Killamey, 6c.
to 12c.; White Killarney, 6c. to 15c.;
American Beauty, specials, held up to the
dollar mark; in good supply. Cattleyas
were the surprise of the week, starting at
75c. in the early part of the week, they
finished up at $2. Lilies held steadily
through the week at 20c, rising Saturday
to 25c. There was an excellent supply of
Valley at 8c. to 10c. ; Snapdragon cleaned
up close at $1.50 to $2.50 a bimch with a
good supply. Carnations were in medium
supply and held firm through the week at
8c. to 12c.; Laddie at 20c.. Gardenias
were in free supply at 35c. to 50c.; Lilac
showed the effects of the heat as well as
Violets. There was a large supply of
Daffodils that took well at 3c. to 4c. A
heavy supply of Callas ranged from 8c.
to 25c., but there was a very limited sup-
ply of Delphinium and Lupines- All
greens were in good supply.

News Notes

The trade is in a happy mood, it
was a big Easter. Bigger and better than
the most optimistic ones looked for.

The cut flower market opened up this
week with a heavy supply as the hot
wave over Sunday rushed everything into
bloom.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Florists Club will be held next Tuesday
evening, April 5, at the regular meeting
place at the City Club.

Alvah R. Jones is in charge of the cut
fiower department of the S. S. Pennock
Co. in the absence of S. S. Pennock.

The Leo Neissen Co. handled a sur-
prising amount of orchids over Easter.

Wm. J, Baker is receiving a steady
supply of the much desired light blue
shade of Delphinium Belladonna.

Lilies to a great extent and consequently
went up to $3 to $5 a doz.

Antirrhiniuns, of which large quantities
were on hand, were easily disposed of ex-
cept the monster spikes for which $4 a
doz. was asked. Bulbous stock was in
oversupply and consequently the price on
it could not be advanced much over the
week before. Large quantities of Nar-
cissus and Daffodils were sold, the price
running from 4c. to 7c or 8c. Tulips were
in limited lots and brought 6c. to 10c.
Freesias have not been what might be
called good these last few weeks. They
did not go well at all; 3c, to 4c. was con-
sidered a good figure and not all were
sold. Mignonette, Pansies and other mis-
cellaneous flowers fared as usual at some-
what better prices. Violets were a total
disappointment on account of very poor
quality, which latter must be laid entirely
to the warm weather. The demand for
Violets, from the public, was good and
insistent, but the stores had to turn it
down for the above reason.

Sweet Peas were hardly sufficient to
fill all orders. The quality was fair, in
some shipments very good, and the flowers
sold out clean at prices up to 4g. Or-
chids, meaning Cattleyas, were eagerly
snapped up and more could have been sold.

The price was from 75c. to $2 a bloom
wholesale. Lily of the Valley also did
well. Some few dozen of blue Iris, which
were offered brought $8 a doz. Greens, as
usual were plentiful at regular prices.

Altogether the cut flower market was
very good, even if prices did not go to
their former heights. It was very good
because they did not.

News Notes

W. W. Elliott & Sons Co., Inc., are
sending to the market some fine Kaiser-
in Roses. This is much earlier than any
other year for this variety.

Carl Shifman, up to now employed by
J. F. Cohen at the cooperative market,
has started in business for himself in the
same market. He is selling the output of
fiowers from Anderson & Son of Arling-
ton, and he has the sincere good wishes
for success of his friends and co-workers.

Harry Spero of Dock Square, has opened
up an additional store opposite his old
stand. The new store is very large and
it is stocked to the limit for Easter sales.

Thomas Roland has added a new auto
delivery truck to his fleet at the Nahant
establishment.

This Week's Money Making Wrinkles

FRITZ BAHR'S WRINiCLES

Sow Sweet Peas early in order to
make the flowers pay; the same holds
good with planting Gladioli. Order the
bulbs now and plant as soon as condi-
tions will permit. Every retail grower
who sells bedding stock can sell bulbs
of Gladioli as well as Dahlia tubers
and, if you order more than you want
or need, you can plant the surplus
yourself. If your customers see such
stock properly displayed, they will buy,
while they may not think of it if they
don't have a chance to see it. This is
'Mum time, that is for whatever you

need in rooted cuttings or 2i^in. stock;
the same is true of Carnations. Are
you going to try a few new sorts? You
never miss the money invested, and it
is the only way to keep up to the
front.

Look over the pages of the F. E.;
study the ads; they are full of valu-
able information. They are reminders
of what you might use to advantage to
till the benches with now. If you have
something good in the way of a sur-
plus, let the many readers know about
it.

BAXTER'S NURSERY WRINKLES

Forced hardy plants unsold at Eas-
ter need not be considered "left overs,"
for their sale may continue through-
out— yes, and beyond — the present
Spring planting season. Being pot
grown, they can command higher prices
than the field-gro-\vn stock and are like-
ly to be in even greater demand if the
present abnormally warm Spring
weather continues to make transplant-
ing of field-grown stock risky.

Nurserymen who dug stock in ad-
vance to save time in filling orders, are
fortunate, for its growth is retarded
making it available over a longer ship-
ping season. Lilacs, Privet, Barberry,

Birch, Willows, Larch and many other
plants are now well out in leaf and
nurserymen will do well to give this
early leafing class of plants the pref-
erence in digging for shipping or later
transplanting, thus holding it back
where "heeled in."

Digging "with ball" may be advis-
able to advocate in many instances,
now that this continuously warm
weather threatens to curtail the ship-
ping season.

If you have any forced hardy plants,
field-grown stock dug and heeled in for
late shipping, or can dig some plants
"with ball," why not announce it to
the trade in these columns?

Mr. W. L. Ferguson, Smiths Falls, Ontario, un-
der date of Dec. 2d, 1919, writes us the following
in regard to our Petunias;

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you.
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about 8 per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quaUty each year."

Mr. Rudolf Nagel, Lancaster, Fa., under date
of Dec. 14, 1919, writes us:

"I had last year iust a few of your Petunias,
but I am sure I could have sold thousands of them.
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of my expectation."

business was also large beyond expectation.
Some of the retailers were sold out early
Saturday afternoon and stocked up again
for Sunday. There was plenty of every-
thing in cut flowers, excepting Lilies; they
were on the short list throughout the city.
In plants there was a large demand; made
up baskets sold well as they made a strong
appeal to purchasers at the last moment
who wanted something in a hurry. Next
to baskets, corsage bouquets were exten-
sively used^~- It was noted in the Easter
fashion revue's parade on the boulevard
that more ladies wore corsage bouqueta
than ever before.

There was nothing new in plants; Lilies,
Cyclamens, Cinerarias, Rambler Roses,
Primulas and bulb stock in pots, pans,
baskets and lots of other tasteful contain-
ers was about all. There were some plants
of Deutzia gracilia, a few Ericas from
California, Genistas and Hydrangeas.
There were no good Hydrangeas offered;
the growers failed to get them in on time.
With all available stock the retailers made
a good showing, but the ab.=ience of the
Azalea indica, mollis, pontica, and others

so prominent in, Easter displays of th&
past, was noted. The Rhododendrons,
Magnolias and much other stock forced
for Eaater displays in the past, imported
from Belgimn and elsewhere, left a void
unfilled and reduced the variety in plants
offered. '

Prominent retail florists advertised
freely in the daily papers and quoted
prices, which considering the occasion,
were most reasonable.

Retail prices quoted by many were: Cor-
sages as low as S3; Roses as low as S4;
Lilies, per doz., §6: Lily plants. Si; Rose
plants, from S3 to S15; boxes of blooming
plants as low as §10 to S25; baskets of
made up blooming plants anywhere from
§10 to S3o and S40.

There was considerable indignation
among the retailers on Good Friday in
that a paragraph appeared in most of
the city papers to the effect that the flo-
rists were profiteering on Easter Lilies;
the public were adviaed not to bu3" and
thereby teach the florists a lesson. Rus-
sell J. Poole, who is head of the high
cost of living commission, has been doing
some good work among restaurant keep-
ers, but when he entered the realm of
flowers he showed but little knowledge
of the industry he attacked. The notice
was as follows

Easter Lilies Boosted 2,000 Per Cent
Charge

"Don't buy flowers for Easter," warns
Russell J. Poole, high cost expert. "Teach
the retail florists a lesson. They have boosted
the cost of Easter Lilies and other flowers
from 200 to 2000 per cent. This is^unfair
merchandising — plain profiteering,"

The Allied Florists, through Sec'y Swen-
son, got busy and wrote to all the editors
in the city telling them how imreasonable
and misleading the published statement
was was. The Daily News, in consequence,
made a generous correction in a later
edition of that day. The price of Liliea
at retail was not more than 50c. per bloom
(for which the retailers had paid 25c.)
which was a reasonable margin of profit,
considering the decoration of pots with
mats, paper, ribbon or other trimming,
together with the risk in handling and
expense of delivery. It was pointed out
that if the florists were making 2000 per
cent they would be charging S3 per bloom
instead of 50c.. As Lilies were a short
crop for this Easter it is safe to say they
were all sold at established prices despite
the erroneous statement to the contrary.

Ne\ps Notes

Paul Weiss of the Premier Rose Gar-
dens, made a trip to Richmond, Ind. last
week to inspect the Richmond green-
houses in which he is part owner. He
found everything in splendid condition.
Lawrence Lehmann, the grower, is pro-
ducing some of the finest Laddie Carna-
tions coming to the Chicago market. These
are handled by the E. C. Amling Co. Mr.
Weiss visited the establishment of Joe
Hill, where there was a celebration over
the premiums won at the New York flower
show. Mr. Hill was so elated over the
success achieved that he gave a Lord &
Burnham representative, who was in the
party, an order for an additional new
greenhouse of liberal proportions.

.Fred Lautenschlager of the Kroesehell
Bros. Co. returned Monday from hi? trip
to the Xew York Flower Show where he
saw many old friends and renewed numer-
ous business acquaintances.

The proportions the cut flower business
of the E. C, Amling Co. has assumed
may be noted from the fact that 200,000
Roses consigned to them were sold the
past week. They bought and sold again
in addition a few thousand more. This in
one item of stock, is some record for a
week's business.

The weather on Easter Sunday was all
that could be desired for the day. It
turned cold in the evening and by Mon-
day morning the temperature had dropped
to 16 and 20 deg. above zero in many sec-
tions of the city. Considerable damage
is reported to the TuKp beds in Lincoln
and Garfield parks. Lilacs and early
blooming Spring shrubbery advanced by
two weeks of warm weather had many of
their buds blackened. In the West parks
further from the lake, there was less
dai^ge. Albert Koch of Garfield Park
savs the damage is confined to flowering
plants only. W. J. O'CarroU of Lincoln
Park says the Tulip beds will recover: the
damage is mostly to early shiubbery.

Minnesota's

Richest Mining Town

Builds A Range

Of Our Finest Greenhouses

VICTOR L. POWER

The hustUns Mayor of Hibbing. who was

reoently elected for the ninth time.

When we saw that article in last week's Review, entitled:
"Putting Over a Park," just naturally, some one was told to take
off their coat, and see that there was no doubt in anybody's mind
as to who built that magnificent range of houses mentioned.

It happens that this Park range at Hibbing, Minnesota, is an
evolution. Their first house was about the cheapest money could
buy. Meant to be temporary. In fact, had to be, as they had no
money for anything else. Then followed two more houses of
more attractive design and better construction. When the order
came to actually move the entire village so the hundreds of feet
of iron ore lying just below the surface could be mined, the Park
had to go.

In keeping with the increased size and needs of the new Park,
a larger range was a necessity. So one of the finest sites in the
new Park, two miles away, was chosen for its location. Then fol-
lowed the decision to put on it, the finest kind of greenhouses
built. Leastwise, that is what Conrad B. Wolf, Superintendent of
Parks, wrote us.

If you read the article in last week's Review, entitled: "Putting
Over a Park," you can well imagine the pleasure and satisfaction
we had in laying out that range and working with Mr. Wolf and
the Commissioners.

As you see from the water color reproduction below, both the

palm house and wings, have high sides, making it adaptable, not
alone for the growing of tall plants, but giving ample height to
stage impressive showings during the Chrysanthemum season, \ind
for Christmas and Easter.

The three full span and two leanto houses at the back, are all
our standard stock houses.

These are the practical growing houses, not alone for the
thousands of blooniing plants, but flowers of general interest to
the public. /

None of your museum-like houses for Hibbing. They want
things of beauty; growing, blooming things.

When you come to consider that this Park and these houses,
located on top of ore deposits, may sooner or later go the way of
the others, then you begin to grasp the big, broad-minded point of

view of the Hibbing people. If only for ten years they want

their village and their lives to be filled with things of beauty, and
are willing to pay for them. Admittedly, no village of its size in
the world, can approach it in wealth. Nevertheless, it isn't a
question of wealth. Plenty of cities have the necessary money.
It's a case of Hibbing having an appreciation of the vital part
flowers and beauty play in making folks happy and contented.

For the good of business, and the good of people's souls, would
there were more Hibbing kind of folks the world over.

A glance shows how well balanced the layout is. A closer ex-
amination and a checking up with the illustration reveals that
practicalness has, in no sense, been sacrificed to effect. On the
other hand, neither has effect been sacrificed.

The palm house is 34 feet by 50 feet. The win? houses each 28 feet by 67 feet. The three even span houses at the back
are 25 feet by 67 feet. The two leanto houses, each 9 feet by 17 feet.
The service building is a model of up-to-dateness in every particular.

Barb wire fences may be all right to keep cows and horses in a field: but when a fellow has to ciimb
them vath overcoat tails and a camera to catch on, it's quite another matter. However, it was ivorth it
all to get this view of the entire range. The two right band houses and leanto in front, ate Hitchings.

^ JESSE P.KING.

PLORIST

The first time I met Jesse King, was at the Niagara Falls S. A. F.
Convention, some 15 years ago. It was then he told me how he
used to have a store at Mount Airy, Maryland, which he was
obliged to sell, because of poor health.

Just to have something to occupy his time until he was good
and husky again, he tried his hand with a little home-brew sort
of greenhouse.

From then on, you know what happened well enough. The
photos shown here fully confirm it.

Well, sir, the mercantile business certainly lost a top-notcher
when he dropped out; but the florist cult sure did gain by it.

I'd like to tell you all about a most delightful day two of us
recently spent with him; but there wouldn't be room enough if
I took all this page, even if there wasn't an inch of room taken up
by the photos.

However, you would hardly expect me to end up without saying
a word or two about our houses.

So here it is. Jesse King had other houses before he had
Hitchings. The fact that Hitchings are the last ones he built,
would seem to indicate he likes Hitchings houses.

In a couple of weeks will show you a couple more photos, and
tell you more about this model Maryland range.

what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
in. high and was covered the entire season with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2}4 in. across, while the individual flower would be_ ]4 of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be u£ed with Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

The American Rose Annual, 1921

'Wc be. Ill' il must ht ;ickiu>wli:Jgfcl tli;it no spciialist
■ivvcr .s'>..t*'.y anywhere issues free to its members, an
tiniial cuniiiaralile witli this. It goes witliont saying
at Its value and its success is largely Juc to the en-
usiasni with which its editor, J. Horace McFarland,
its out to net copy.

! Bntb in regard to text and illustrations, the :;00-page
•lume before us is equal to any of its predecessors,
diough we miss the color plates wliich were a feature

the l'J:-'(> .Xnnual. The editor, in his preface, de-
ares that the lUL'l Annual demonstrates the tendency
ward making the Rose really universal in the United
ales.

One of the most important articles is "Rose Breed-
g in 1920," by Dr. W. Van Fleet, a continuation of
■e series apiiearins:! in previous editions. The work of
,r. Van Fleet is rapidly cievcloping in importance. The
ed of outdoor Ruses suited to the variety of climates

this continent has long been realized, but no great
iiount of progress had been made until recent years,
cause all .'Vnierican breeders have worked along the
ne lines as those of Europe.

The editorial note to the effect that no such breeding
Lirk as that of Dr. Van Fleet is proceeding anywhere
',e in the world, is doubtless full of truth. The com-
;rcial Rose breeder could not afford to experiment on
iiilar lines, and few amateurs have the knowledge,
filiation, means or space to attempt it on so vast a
;ilc. By making it possible for Dr. Van Fleet to con-
' ct his experiments, the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture is
idering a service to the entire horticultural world,
le multitude of species, both native and foreign, that
'lis skilled experimenter is handling, and the wonder-
1 results he is achieving, are described in the article
Iferred to but, as Dr. Van Fleet states, "time is an
: distent element in breeding work of this kind and
;,eral seasons are often needed to carry the seedlings
I'ough all phases from pollination to characteristic
bom."

Three of his seedlings are now ready for distribution
Jder the aegis of the A. R. S., but several years must
ipse before even these are generally available,

'Roses in Antiquity," by Jesse A. Currey, is of in-
(est to all Rose lovers, but we are specially attracted
I the statement that the Romans cultivated Roses on
i extensive commercial scale. In 4 B. C, the Romans
i re producing Roses in Winter in hothouses heated
^Ji pipes filled with hot water and, Seneca (4 B. C. —
i A. £).), who educated Nero, was shocked over this
liiposed violation of Nature's laws. He declaimed
i linst the use of greenhouses but no one heeded his
[itests, for during the reign of Domitian (81-96 A. D.)
i re were many Rose growing establishments in Rome.
Think of it, ye Rose forcers of today. Does it not
like you realize that nothing under the sun is new?
'' )ses — Clergj' — Churches," by Rev. E. M. Mills, dem-
c trates how strongly the three are bound together.
I] night almost be admitted that the development of the
tie in Europe was infiuenced by the clergy. In Great
Etain Roses and parsons have an inseparable connec-

i Our Native Roses," by Chas. E. F. GersdoriT, is
Vil written and beautifully illustrated with drawings
b| the author.

f'f great importance to all, including the nurseryman,
h he article on "Rose Stocks and Root Systems," by
r if. H. H. Hume. The various illustrations depict
tl types of root systems, but after discussing them,
H author refrains from selecting one. As a matter of
f j :. he concludes by saying that "new Rose stocks must
d)lace some of the old, if we are to meet with real
si:ess." The editor, however, continues the discussion,
aj quotes several stocks of likely value. A type of
Rodorata shows a great disinclination to become dor-
npt, a fact that suggests its possible value for green-
h; se work. As is well known, the Manetti is largely
Ujl by Rose propagators here, but its tendency to early
gvvth and early dormancy, makes it not wholly satis-
fy ory as an outdoor Rose stock.

; apt. George C. Thomas, Jr., whose work as an
aiiteur breeder is well known, discusses "Some Cali-
f^^iia Rose Conditions." He considers California af-
fds greater opportunity for his work than his former
Etern location.

_ '5lose Growing in Florida," by G. H. Peterson, makes
it lain that this delectable State has not yet taken up
Ries in real earnest.

iiVhat Roses Do Nurserymen's Agents Sell?" asks
th editor, and he answers it by putting forward the
lij handled by ten firms. Well might he conclude by
tl^ admonition — "The nurserymen need to wake up to
tf?r profitable opportunities and help to make the Rose
ui'ersal in America."

jXose Growing in France After the War," by M.
C; ries Siret, tells of the position in which Roses stand
toiy in France; while Mile. Therese Turbat, a de-
liitful young lady whom this writer met in London

with her father before the blighting hand of war de-
scended upon the world, describes the "New Ruse
Trials al Bagatelle."

"The New Gold Medal Roses of 1920," by Courtney
Page, secretary oi the N. U. S. of England, tells us
delightfully about not only Ruses, but E. G. Hill also.

This latter gentleman follows with "English Roses
through .Xmerican Eyes."

"The Ruse Cut Fluwer Situation," by Wallace R.
Pier.son ; "Greenhouse Roses This Year and Last," by
Clias. H. Totty ; "Conunercial Roses as the Wholesaler
Sees Them." by S. S. Pennock; "Cut Roses -Around
Chicago," by W. J. Kicmel ; "Commercial Roses in the
Pacific Northwest,'' by Thomas C. Luke; and "Roses
and the Retail Florist," by Thomas Roland, are of such
trade interest that we feel we cannot do justice to them
without reproducing them wholly or in part.

.\side from the articles enumerated, we cannot ignore
the many short notes, including "The Roses of Mt.
Desert Island, Me.", "My Back Yard Roses in Their
F'ourth Season"; "The Working Out of a Real Rose
Garden"; "A Better Back Yard Garden"; "A Well
Placed Private Rose Garden" ; "A Hospital Rose Gar-
den"; "Rose Garden at the New York Botanical Gar-
den" ; "Roses at Kew Gardens" ; "Select Roses for a
Washington Garden" ; "Ohio and the Rose Zone Map" ; .
"How to Make Roses Grow"; "Rose Protection";
"Roses 'Round the World" ; "New Roses of All the
World," and the numerous short "Rose Notes" from
various quarters.

Truly, we marvel at the ingenuity of the man who
can collect such a mass of material from so many
sources.

Every commercial florist who seeks to foster the de-
mand for Rose bushes, and all who have a real regard
for Roses, should certainly joint the A. R. S. in order
to obtain this book. It is a veritable vade mecxtm on
Roses.

The Rose Cut Flower Situation

By WALLACE R. PIERSON, Cromwell, Conn.

The subjoined interesting and enlightening ar-
ticle is reproduced from the American Rose
Annual with the kind permission of J. Horace
McFarland, its editor. Mr. Pierson writes with
all the forcefulness and vigor that characterizes
his speech.

THIS short article is written by a cut flower man
who nevertheless is, to no small extent, interested
in garden Roses and in Roses for pot forcing.
There are so many angles to the situation that to under-
stand them one must review the situation from a broad
standpoint.

First of all, something has happened in this world of
ours, and we who have been in the Rose business during
the past four years have reason to know that there has
been a war in Europe, that this country has had a share
in it, and that our output is not of the same value to a
nation as some other materials in a case of that kind.
We have reason to know that while flowers may heal
broken hearts, bring comfort in times of sorrow, as well
as joy to the bride, and prove a necessity of life to some,
they are not considered as necessities by such bodies as
the Fuel Administration and the Railroad Administra-
tion in time of war. And what did the war do to
Roses?
The Industry Up Against It

First, the coal situation affected the number grown
and the output of those that were planted to a very
appreciable extent. Second, transportation became so
bad that a serious injury was done the industry, al-
though this condition was only temporary. This sea-
son's record shows nearly every Rose grower loaded to
his capacity with "spot" coal at any price and "contract"
coal disregarded — the new term "distress" coal having
come into vogue too late to save the greenhouse indus-
try from paying the abnormal prices of last Summer
and Fall. TThe short production has been a matter of
necessity forced upon the grower by circumstances be-
yond his control. Third, there has been a decrease in
planting, or rather in replanting, during the past three
years which is due to the shortage of common labor.
This decrease in renewal of stock has also tended to
decrease the supply of cut Roses. Shortage of coal and
failure to properly renew stocks have depleted markets,
and transportation problems have tended to localize the
output of the large commercial ranges.

How Conditions Changed

The market conditions, as shown by the leading cut
flower centers, are an interesting study. During the
years when all other lines of industry were making war
money, the Rose grower was fighting to keep his place
from freezing and himself from being adjudged a bank-
rupt. Then there came a change, and the Fall of 1918
brought conditions never before seen in the flower mar-
kets. Influenza saved the flower industry from being
wiped out of existence. Then came the armistice, and

people turned to fluwers as they never did before. In
the two years that have elapsed, cut Roses have been
the standby of the flower industry, and have been profit-
able to the producer. .As a whole, the war losses have
been regained and the Rose industry is on a good solid
basis today. National advertising, as carried on by
the Society of American Florists, has done more to
stabilize business than anything else, and the Rose
grower of today has much for which he can thank that
society.

.As a whole, the United States is now undergoing the
process of deflation. How far this will carry us is yet
to be shown but this Winter has proved that Roses will
sell where monkey-wrenches won't, that people love
flowers at all times, and that flowers do much to make
the path of life brighter and easier for the troubled
business man.

The Rose grower of America was never a business
man, and, on the whole, his employees were poorly paid.
His product was undervalued, and few realized that it
cost money to grow Roses. That the Rose industry
may remain on a par with the making of other necessi-
ties of life, that the growing of flowers may be con-
sidered as a trade, and that the laborer may be worthy
of his hire, is the hope of the grower. If this has been
achieved by the producer of flowers as a result of these
years, his long wait for recognition will be rewarded.
If flowers go back to "before the war" prices, and, with
them, the working conditions, the industry will cease to
grow and to keep ahead of the increase in population.

A Challenge to Europe

Quarantine laws have affected to some extent, but
not seriously, greenhouse Roses for cut flowers, unless
it be true that Europe intends that Manetti stocks for
grafting must make up for their lost export of outdoor
Roses. From $8 per 1000 in 1914 to $70 per 1000 in
1920, is considerable of an increase, and if the nursery
syndicates who set these prices in Europe persist in
asking beyond reason, they will make a quarantine more
drastic than "37." America can produce Manetti, and
will do so, and this sort of encouragement given to the
"infant industry" by French, English, Dutch, and Irish
nurserymen will be all that is needed to bring about
abundant production.
A Changed Market

There has come into the big markets during the past
few years a notable difference in what is required in
cut Roses. In years gone by, the long-stemmed or
"special" Rose was wanted by the market and in those
days the price was, in many cases, much in excess of the
price brought by the same grade today. Our markets
of today want from 12in. to 24in. stems, with heads in
proportion. The average loin. Rose is the standard
grade, and for extra long stems, it is hard to realize a
premium that makes the production of this special stock
popular with the producer.

Given an average market calling for an average qual-
ity, the question of variety must enter seriously into the
piantino- plans of the grower. Briefly, let me review
today's Roses :
A Survey of Varieties

Pilgrim. Rather capricious as to habit of growth.
Likes to be grown cool— say 58 deg. for a steady diet.
Rose pink in color, and much brighter when well grown.
Much less likely to suffer from black spot when grown
cool, and much better in color. Exceptionally fine in
many places.

Ceus.vder. Not very good in color. Most crimson
Roses turn blue when old, and are not good color when
they are heavy growers. This is the nature of crimson
Roses, and Crusader is no exception. It is the best pay-
ing Rose for the grower, and yet not over popular with
the public. The best crimson Rose in commerce until
someone gets something better.

Mme. Butterfly. A bright-colored Ophelia sport,
and the best of them all, from the producer' standpoint.
It grows stronger and flowers more freely than the
parent. Good Rose for grower, wholesaler, retailer and
the consuming public.

Ophelw. Still good and widely grown.

Premier. The best dark pink, and very widely grown.

Columbia. Shares with Ophelia and Premier the
honor of being the most universally popular Roses in
.America.

Double White Killarney. Still at the top in white
Roses.

Mrs. Aaeon Ward. This dainty yellow Rose is al-
most alone. Sunburst, grown in limited quantities only;
leaves "Ward" the yellow Rose of commerce.

My Maryland. A warm-weather Rose, but a market
variety that has made money for the grower and will
make money, due to its wonderful flowering ability.

Milady. Go West to see it right— there Milady leads
the list of red and crimson Roses. By the way, it seems
to be coming East, and will no doubt be welcome.

The Specialty Roses. Hadley, Francis Scott Key,
Sunburst, American Beauty, and a few others are grown
in limited quantities for special markets and need not be
considered in sizing up greenhouse Roses as a whole.

FLORIDA vs. CALIFORNIA

A further aurvey of the climatic conditions and sub-tropical vegetation of Florida, by Anton
Schultheis. Always on the move for nev^f ideas and methoda in his line, he makes his trip bene-
ficial from both a pleasure and a business aspect. Also an article by E. G, Gillett, who declares
Florida the coming floricultural State.

have liteii closely stmlyiiiK, these few weeks, the
c Italic cunditioiis down here, and also the ways- they
[.pagatc and raise their plants.

■Jature is already prepared to start a new growth as
viwn by the Mango, which is blooming and setting
flit; the palms are making new leaves and blooms.
(ipefruits and Oranges, however, show scant blos-
iti hut, judging from observations, they should be full,
i]|ierhaps a month.

'I'he mirserymen raise ferns. Asparagus, Crotons,
liiigainvillea, Kentias, and all kinds of palms under
sllers or slat-houses. The shelters consist of 2in.x4in.
I ights, posts about -Ift. apart, with plaster lath nailed
c the cross arms, one-half inch apart. One can see
tse erections in solid lots covering from one to three
al one-half acres.

he water level is approximately 10ft. below ground,
a'! the water is secured by means of gasoline pump
pver through pipes driven into the earth. The rainy
s.'son has not yet begun ; we have had only one night
(y rain since we arrived. The yearly rainfall totals
airoximately, 60in. for the State of Florida, and they
s; it really rains when the season opens. These rains
cise such a jump in the water levels, that the territory
sjrounding Lake Oshokoobee, as everywhere, is flooded
t('a depth of several feet, causing considerable crop
a' property damage. This damage has been partially
r.uced by building several shipping channels with
lc;s to drain the surplus water. The Everglades, as
tl redeemed area is called, is exceptionally good for
ci.ivation. But I am digressing.

'ineapples are not grown to any extent since the
siiJre frost, four years back, when the crop was ruined
bond repair. These grow best in sand. Strawberries
a. in season from December to June; we have been
ebying this luxury daily since our arrival on Jan. 8.
Tniatoes are grown by the acre here ; the fruit is
p';ed in the green state to ripen during transit, and
sl'ped North. The most extensively grown crops are
Piatoes, Sweet Potatoes, Papaws, Bananas and Cocoa-
n..

I he soil consists of one to three feet of humus or
tij in most places, with an underlying strata of lime
rti:. Oranges and Grapefruits do best on soil which
m;r gets too wet ; lime rock with hardly any humus.

he location of Miami and its exceptional environ-
in ts, suggest a great future for this growing town.
P'lle from all over the States flock down here from
D :mber to April. Over seven hundred land ofHces
hc'lle all property transactions. The mild climate
di'tig the Winter months is the best asset. You can
sl\ inder the Coco palms in the park and hear Pryor's
B: 1, with your Palm Beach suit on, almost every day.

ir. Soar, my nurseryman friend, has a Grapefruit
oriard which is fifteen years old. He is just planting
hi Pandanus Veitchii cuttings, beneath this orchard ;
thi ^lips are planted one inch apart in large patches. The
so is sandy with some muggy leafmold. He sprin-
kl them occasionally, but leaves most of their care to
M lier Nature. The runners of the Boston ferns are
pi; ted during January and February under the same
CO itions. Crotons are treated in a similar manner.
PI nix Roebelenii grow fine here, and bear seeds.

J lis is the land for palms. The Royal Palm, Oreo-
dOi regia, grows to a height of 50ft,; Phoenix canarien-
sisaows better here than in California. Oranges and
Kiiquats grow in abundance. Most of the landscape
dej rating is done with palms, with Crotons for color
am Hibiscus sinensis, single and double, in about twelve
valjties for bloom. Oleander grows like a weed.

;ie Alligator Pear is grown extensively. The Avo-
ca^, varieties are grafted on seedlings of the Mexican
AV:ado planted in oin. pots. They are grafted with
beir varieties such as Trapp, Taft, Winslow, etc., when
of roper size.

Sie does not see woods here as in the north. There
aril however. Pine woods with an undergrowth of
fa|i-leaved Palmetto Palms, protecting the lime rock
sot from the sun. Weeds and grasses Seem to be the
OTi growth on the mucklands. There is a Grass called
Afcan Sneed Grass, with pinkish feathery tufts of
blqiis, which seem to thrive best in sand. By self-
priiagation. it will cover the whole of Florida, judg-
ing;from the rapid growth which it has made in the
paa few years.

'lie Australian Pine does really well here, and is
us«;^to advantage as hedge or border material ; also
thcj^alifornia fawn palm Washingtonia robusta.

>u must have an auto to see anything here. The
strjts are lined with thousands of machines. The
Till '° "'^ beach by bus is over a four-mile causeway.
TWroads of this section are good, and in most of the

towns, are lined with majestic Cocoanut Palms and
Royal Paltns.

In closing, I hope these impressions are interesting
and instructive, although they relate only to my own
observations made during my stay.

review of my trip to Florida. This, in my opinion, is
the coming great State of the Union.

In the first place, it will, in a few years, be producing
a great portion of the sugar used in the United States.
The great reclaimed Everglades which, a few short
}'ears ago, were not worth anything, are now being
laid out in farms and are selling at $200 an acre and,
upon this land, they are now growing 90 tons of Sugar
Cane to the acre. They can also grow all kinds of
forage, and large cattle ranches are being established.
The old razorback hogs are fast disappearing and pedi-
greed stock is being introduced. The great drainage
canals are responsible for all this.

The authorities are building fine roads through this
country, and it will not be long before they will have
fine roads connecting the East and West Coasts; in
fact, one road leading west from West Palm Beach, is
already half completed; the distance across the State
at this point is about 50 miles. This road will carry you
through the great vegetable irea of Florida ; here you
will see more gardens than in any other part of the
State.

At the present time, only about ten per cent of the
State is under culti\'ation; the balance is jungle, so
you see there is plenty of land to be had. In my opinion,
there is no place in the Union, that offers so much to
the energetic young man who is not afraid to roll up
his sleeves and go to work, as does this State.

There is also a great opening for the florist ; I saw
Sweet Peas, Calendulas, Gladioli, Roses, and many
other flowers growing; they were being used by Foster
& Foster, the florists at West Palm Beach, for the
decorating of tables at the hotels Royal Poinciana and
Breakers. Possibly you would be interested to know
the size of the great Royal Poinciana; it is five stories
high, is built upon five acres of ground and is as big
as ten New York City blocks. It has 1500 rooms and
requires 1500 employees.

It was my pleasure, with my good wife and son, to
accept the hospitality of our nephew, C. J. Ohmer, who
is one of the leading growers of Asparagus plumosus
in the South. He is now erecting shedding for another
acre. When completed this will give him about eight
acres under shedding, all planted to Asparagus plu-
mosus, and scientifically grown. Unfortunately for
him, the draining of the Everglades, took away the lake,
from one of his locations, which forced him to sink
a deep well for his irrigation system. It takes 250
gallons of water a minute to water this one place. His
investment here runs into thousands of dollars.

Of course, it is not all gold that glitters, and in

travelui^' up and tlown the Coast from Jackson\-ille on
the north to Miami on the south, I saw much shed-
ding that had been abandoned, and was going to ruin.
This had been started in an early day when the mar-
kets were not as profitable as today, and the owners,
becoming discouraged, had left. These same places
today, in the hands of live wires, would mean a small
fortune in a few years.

Young man ! Florida opens her arms to you for a
good investment. Old man I Florida says, "Come and
spend your Winters." E. G. Gillett.

Landscape Work Looming Up in Florida

Our illustration shows the landscape field outfit of
the Exotic Gardens, Miami, Fla., Jas. Donn, manager.
In the picture Mr. Donn is standing alongside of his
daughter on the left hand side of the picture. I thought
your readers might be interested to see this picture.
Mr. Donn is the leading florist in Miami with an upto-
date store in the city and several nurseries on the out-
skirts.

I am indebted to Mr. Donn for his courtesies in
chaperoning me around among the wonderful land-
scape eft'ects of a Southern city where there is no frost.
The magnificent layouts have amazed me and Mr. Donn
is responsible for a great deal of this work.

ex-president S. A. F. and O. H., who has lately re-
turned from a trip to Florida.

Notes from Abroad

spring is due to commence today, ac-
conling to the calendar. In point of fact
it liegan in Western Europe about the
middle of January and promised to be
phenomenally early^ but some continuously
cold winds have kept the vegetative de-
velopment back, so that the landscape
no^\■ bears something approaching its nor-
mal aspect of this time of year.

Plants for Spring bedding now bulk
more and more largely on the stalls in
Covent Garden market and the pots of
Cinerarias, Cyclamen and Spiraeas are
now sandwiched in among seedlings of
Wallflowers, Sweet William, Bellis, Prim-
rose, Arabis, etc., and most significant of
all — boxes crammed full of young Nas-
turtium plants are beginning to appear.
This would seem at this early date, to be
somewhat risky, but the amateur su-
burban gardener is a bold man and the
wily grower is well aware of the fact,
so neither party worries about possible
early frosts. The amateur backyarder
will soon be in his element, for in these
regions he generally earmarks the Easter
holidays for the beginning of serious op-
erations on his estate, and he requires
catering for on a large scale for his name
is legion.

Easter is not such a great flower season
here as in the United States, but all the
same, from a horticultural point of view,
the establishment of it as a fixed feast
would be a great boon, instead of varying
as at present, with the phases of the moon.
To bring this about would no doubt be
a gigantic undertaking, compared with
which the ordering of Summer time ap-
pears a mere trifle, for the agreement to
the system now ruling, convulsed the early
Christian church with a severe internecine
struggle.

Our sympathetic controller of the Hor-
ticultural Department of the Ministry of
Agriculture — Mr. Lobjoit — has been dis-
coursing on what the government can and
cannot do (chiefly the latter) to help the
nursery and seed trades. He thinks the
authorities might assist seedsmen to im-
prove their strains of seeds, but it is
not very clear to see how they could
do much in this line. A good deal, how-
ever, might be done for nurserymen. Be-
sides keeping out foreign pests by string-
ent rules, a careful inspection of home
nurseries could be organized with a view
to keeping a tight hand on careless grow-
ers and prosecuting persistent offenders.
Much aid could be given by the encour-
agement of fruit shows and promoting
proper grading and packing. The prepara-
tion and issue of reliable statistics could,
under given circumstances, be of much
value. But not a great deal can be done,
thinks the comptroller, without the prac-
tical cooperation of the traders, and for
this it is necessary that they should band
themselves together in strong associations
with which practical work is possible,
such as cannot be done with individuals
not united in a common purpose.

New York Seed Trade

Sales in the seed stores show a steady
increase. The demand is for seeds of
all kinds, fertilizers, small nursery stock,
garden tools and sundries. The sales of
flower seeds this season up to this time,
have been, it is reported, much larger
than those of last year. Speaking of the
general volume of sales, one firm reports
that its sales for March were about 40
per cent larger than those for the cor-
T-esnonding month last year and those for
the three months ending March 31, about
20 per cent ahead of last year.

Eynveld Bros,, bulb merchants, whose
; address has been 148 Chambers st., have
, opened, on account of increasing business
and to better accommodate their custom-
ei-s, a larger office at 1165 Broadway, cor-
ner of 27th St., which will hereafter be
their address.
i A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs.
J William J. Burnett, elder son of George A. ,
Burnett of the house of Burnett Bros., on '
i Saturday, April 2, in their home in Jer-
. sey City, N. J. The name of the newcomer
1 is Jean Thornhill Burnett.
I Robert W. MacNiff, president of the
' MacNiff Horticultural Co.. Inc., is kept
i very busy these days with his seed, plant
I and poultry business and also his Tuesday
i and Friday auctions, and withal the mov-
ing from his present store at 52-54 Vesey
st. into the five s.tory building at 196
Greenwich st.

The Barclay Nursery on May 1 will
occupy the building at 62 Vesey St., and
will also retain its present store at 60
Barclay st.

When calling on Roman J. Irwin, whose
offices, by the way, are among the largest
and best equipped of those of any company
in this city engaged in the seed and plant
business, we noted the installation of an-
other new item in the equipment, namely a
large sample table margined and lined with
zinc, upon which are placed all the sample
plants sent in by the various growers. This
table is placed near the windows w^here
the plants receive a good light and the
fact that the top of the table is covered
with zinc makes it easy to spray and
water them freely. Now that he sees how
I useful it is, Mr. Irwin is wondering why
I he did not think of such a table before.

Chicago Seed Trade

The retail trade in Chicago is well un-
der way. It had an early start and
judging from the activity of early buyers
there is a good season ahead for the
seedsmen.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co.,
who has been on the Pacific Coast for
several weeks, is expected back in Chi-
cago the coming week.

R. B. Howe of the W. W. Barnard Co.
reports a record breaking trade for March,
with the probability of at least two more
good months of plant and seed selling.
The May trade two years ago was equal
to any of the other Spring months. The
will of the late W. W. Barnard went to
probate Monday, which leaves the stock of
the company to five trustees, these in-
cluding the sisters of the deceased and
R. B. Howe. The trustees have ample
power to maintain the business as it has
been conducted in the past. R. B. Howe
will have charge and continue the man-
agement as he has so efficiently done dur-
ing the past five years.

A. Henderson & Co. report the Spring
trade started earlier and assumed larger
proportions during March than ever be-
fore. There is an extensive demand for
nursery stock and perennials, a large sup-
ply of which is now on exhibition. A cus-
tomer of this house is to show, by actual
illustration, the forms and colors of the
bloom of various shrubs offered by arti-
ficial blooms attached to the different
groups. Several trellises adorn the ap-
proach to the store on which are sprays
of Rambler Roses that can be seen a block
away. It is remarked that these greatly
increase the demand for Roses of this
description.

The American Bulb Co. has imported
under a permit from the Federal Hort.
Board a large shipment of Gladioli bulb-
lets from Holland, all new varieties, for
planting to work up stock. There is an

agreement that only the crops, not the
original bulbs, are to be sold.

Vaughan's Seed Store is doing some at-
tractive advertising in the city papers
which keeps the retail store filled to full-
est capacity daily. In the wholesale de-
partment the booking of import bulb or-
ders has begun. Growers are urged to
make up their import lists nnw for the
coming season. The retail growers, as
well as salesmen, know now what flower
buyers appreciate most, and while these
details are fresh in their minda, it is an
opportune time to make out the complete
lists of forcing bulbs, both American
grown and imported from France, Hol-
land and Japan.

Catalog Vegetables

An optimist is a man who expects
to raise vegetables like those pictured in
seed catalogs, declares the cynic, but it
all depends on the man.

It is a potent fact that those pictures
are, for the most part, actual photo-
graphic reproductions of real examples
and^ what has been done once, can be

■ done again, if the fellow who buys seed
sets out with the object in view. Picture

vegetables are not fakes any more than
flower pictures, and if seed firms laid
themselves out to make displays like the

■ one here illustrated, either in their win-
dows, or at shows, the doubting Thomases

>would cease their doubting.

Garden Tool Displays

Department Stores Feature These

Heavily and Take Thousands of

Dollars Worth of Business from

the Seed Stores — Why?

The value of window displays is gen-
erally well recognized by most retail florists,
and in many lines of business the pull-
ing power of window displays is so im-
portant that skilled professionals are em-
ployed to keep the windows attractive.

Some seedsmen are by no means blind to
the advertising power of the window dis-
play and, from time to time, references
have been made to the clever "set-ups"
staged in various parts of the coujitry.
Such seedsmen do not overlook the value
of garden tool displays in the early Spring.
But where one seizes the opportunity, a
dozen do not, and for this reason perhaps,
such seedsmen lose to the hardware and
department stores many sales. True, the
department store has some little advan-
tage over both the seedsman and the
hardware store, for their regular delivery
service reaches well beyond city limits so
that the purchaser is relieved of trouble in
this respect. But, it may be pointed out
that the average amateur gardener does
not, as a rule, make large purchases at
one time. For the most part, he buys one
item at a time, a spade, fork, rake or
hoe, according to his needs and, if he is at
all an enthusiast he almost glories in car-
rying his purchase home with him. It is
in this direction the seedsman has an op-
portunity, especially if he is in a locality

through which pass many people on their
way home. The ordinary man does not
want to go into a department store to buy
garden tools, the delays and difficulty in
securing quick attention being generally
sufficient to drive any homeward bound
commuter frantic to say nothing of the
fact that he must do his own selecting.

For all this, when we recently surveyed
the display of garden tools and seeds in
the windows of a large department store in
N. Y. city, we were compelled to believe
that this concern must find it worth while
i to devote some 50ft. run of large window
space to goods that are legitimately the
seedsman's.

Cleverly set up, the display compelled
attention from any one who had the least
interest in gardening. The tools were all
of good make; indeed, we could not but
reflect that this store showed good know-
ledge compared with the average hardware
merchants, when it displayed the solid
steel shanked Canadian made spade in-
stead of the mediocre poorly balanced
samples one sees in many hardware stores.
The variety of hoes and rakes were set
up tripod fashion, but we must own that
the decorator slipped up when he tied
them with string instead of green raffia.
Digging forks, hand cultivators, wheel
cultivators, hose, trowels, etc., were either
used as foils for the seed display or as
the main feature in the several windows.
In one, a rustic table covered with pack-
ets of grass seed and fertilizer was promi-
nent, in another, a garden seat with
gloves and garden hat carelessly thrown
upon it.

Imitation gra.?3 served to attract atten-L
tion to the mowing machines, shears and]
edging tools. Truck baskets filled with!
packets of seed and haphazard heaps of J
packets lying around, further aided the!
effect. Additional color was given in onei
window through the use of green paintedi
metal window boxes, filled with artificial'
flowers.

Taken as a whole, the display was good*
and it may well be argued that such a
great store would not devote so muchi
window space to the business if it had nbtji
in the past, proved worth while.

The lesson to seedsmen is simple. If
they wish to protect the sales of what ia
legitimately theirs to sell, they must ad-i
vertise more freely (just as this and otWi
big department stores do) and take sea-
sonal advantage of their windows fop
all they are worth.

Seed Trade in the South

According to reports Southern seeda-
men have, this season, felt a noticeable
slump, particularly in regard to farm and
truck seeds. The tremendous falling off ia
the price of cotton is, it is said, largely re-
sponsible. The demand for garden seedat
has been fairly brisk, but to a great eZ'<
tent the orders have been of smaller valuel
than in the past two years.

Specimen Shrubs

If you lire located near a city or town
and conduct a retail business, you are
sure to have call during Spring and Fall
for specimen shrubs, no matter how many
nursericH there may be in the neighbor-
hood. Some of your customers will want
plants for immediate effect, larger than
the usual 2ft. to :Jft, or 3ft. to 4ft. stock;
they may want only two or three plants
of such sorts as Lilacs, Spirtea, Honey-
suckles, Philadelphus, Weigelia, Hydran-
j geas or Barberry, but want them large,
i plants you have to lift with a good clump
1 of soil. If you have the space, you can't
i do better than to let your nurseryman
.supply you with a good number of each
and plant them out in good soil where
they can remain for a few years and de-
velop into showy specimens. You will find
this a good investment. If you plant in
rows, allow at least 3ft. of space be-
tween the plants and, in a couple of years,
transplant every other one or sell them
to give the others all the space they
: need.

I Chinese Primulas

I You will want some good sized Sin. red
(Primulas for next Christmas for those of
your customers who can't afford a Cycla-
men. The Chinese Primulas can be suc-
. i:ess f ul ly grown, even by the smaller
retail grower, for they thrive and do
jwell in a cool house and don't require a
i^reat deal of attention, but in order to
|row on good plants, you should sow seed
;aow. Don't be satisfied with 3i^ or 4in.
I plants just coming into bloom by the end

of December; sow now and keep the plants
agoing and shifted so you obtain heavy 5
and 6in. plants in full flower by the mid-
dle of December. They will do well from
the time you plant the seedlings into 2in.
pots up to October in almost any house
with a little shade during Summer and
after, want a Cai-nation house tempera-
ture and all the sun you can give them.
Make another sowing later on.

Hanging Baskets

Both the trailing Fuchias and Lan-
tanas make fine hanging basket plants,
but you don't want to wait until May
or June to fill them; this ought to be
done now. Line your wire baskets with
sheet moss and fill them with good soil; you
want about eight 2i,'^in. pot plants of
either the Fuchsias or Lantanas for a
12in. basket. Plant them now, and place
the baskets on a bench until the plants
begin to spread over the edges, when they
can be hung up somewhere. It isn't too
early to order from your supply house
what you will need in the way of moss and
baskets during the next three months.
Every retail grower can dispose of well
filled hanging baskets during May and
June and toward the end of April is not
too early to plant them, at least a part
of them, for those who want to pay for
a well established affair.

Ageratum Fraserii

Almost every retail grower uses
Ageratum during the bedding season; the
plants usually are a mass of flowers by

the middle or end of May and when in
4in. pots and bushy, a good number can
always be sold along with other flowering
stock. The latest in Ageratums is Fraserii,
which should prove of great value to those
using Ageratums as border plants, it is of
dwarf habit and blooms all Summer. Those
who do formal bedding should give it a
trial, for a bed of pink Geraniums such
as Poitevine, you couldn't ask for any-
thing better. Give it a trial and save
your stock plants for next Winter's prop-
agation. It is still time to root cuttings
of the other Ageratums; it only takes
a few days to root them and a few weeks
to have nice established plants. You can
also sow seed of the tall sort for cut
flower purposes, when planted out in the
open. Given plenty of room, they will
grow into large plants and produce flow-
ers on long stems well adapted for cutting
on account of their color and good keeping
qualities.

Early Outdoor Gladioli

If you have room in a hotbed it can
be used to good advantage for Gladioli.
If you have plants started in pots, they
can be planted out and by the time the
leaves reach the glass the sashes can be
removed and you will cut flowers during
June. You can also plant bulbs of
Gladioli in a hotbed, maybe between other
plants, or leave space for the bulbs every
12in. or 14in. across the frame. It al-
ways takes a few weeks before the leaves
interfere with anything; even then they
won't create much shade. Maybe you
have a coldframe which can be had to

plant bulbs in, any way, get them started
into growth and later on flower, before
those planted outdoors. There is no doubt
but what more Gladioli than ever will be
planted this year, and while good varieties,
well grown, may bring a fair price, you
will make more money on them if you can
bring them to the market just before the
usual glut starts. With the help of glass
and planting from now on, you can gain
weeks over such as are planted outdoora
at the end of April or during May. It
is just a matter of getting at it.

Perennials

Any transplanting of perennials you
have to do this Spring can never be done
too early when the ground is in shape to
be worked. Most all of .such plants start
to make growths early and will notice the
transplanting less when moved before 5in.
or 6in. of growth have be<.n made. Peonies
and Iris, both of which are best off when
transplanted in August and September,
can be lifted and divided now, and if
you are short on such stock and have to
buy plants, I would suggest doing it now,
rather than wait until next Fall. You
will still gain time by planting now.
Field clumps of hardy Phlox can be di-
vided and replanted, so can Shasta Daisies,
Columbines, Rudbeckias and many others.
Keep on increasing your stock, especially
of the cut flower sorts, and each Spring
plant a few fresh varieties. Get ac-
quainted with them and, if good, let your
customers know about them. But you
want a good sized stock of the old stand-
bys first.

New Freesias

The European breeders are apparently
jird at work on Freesias and our home
prkers will need to keep busy if they are
keep level. The European breeders
3re, of course first on the work of rais-
g colored forms, and it is easy to as-
, me that they may have great develop-
■ents under way. Van Tubergen of Haar-
;ai recently showed a variety named
potheose in London which an expert
4tic declared to be quite the best thing
'en in pink shades. It has flowers of
■od size and is a strong grower. Another
riety, a creamy yellow and orange named
"easure from the same raiser also gajned
I award of merit.

A New Clematis

At a recent R. H. S. meeting in Lon-
don a new Clematis of great value was
awarded a first class certificate, an award
that is rarely given to anything but new
species or hybrids. The new Clematis
is a hybrid from C. Armandi X Pavolini-
ana, and it was shown by a private indi-
vidual under the name Jeunes variety.
The plant partakes of the character of
both parents, bearing its large panicles of
pure white flowers on long footstalks. It
is described as both distinct and novel, and
anyone who is acquainted with the beau-
tiful C. Armandi, a species bearing much
larger flowers than C. paniculata, may
realize the possible value of the new-
comer, the individual flowers of which are
two and one-half inches across. The fact
that it can be forced into bloom in early
March as can C. Armandi; makes them
worthy of attention. The last named
species was introduced, we think, from
China in 1904, and we were greatly im-
pressed by it when exhibited some years
later on which occasion it received a
F. C. C.

Organization in Excelsis

It is oftentimes said that the British
people are the slowest on earth to take
up a new idea, but that when they do,
even if driven into a corner through tem-
porizing, they invariably extricate them-
selves and get among the leaders. This
would seem to be the case in regard to
horticultural trade organization. Prior
to the war, little or no organization was
prevalent in the nursery and allied trades
although the nucleus of organization had
been in being for many years. Various
influences forced the various sections of
the trade to come together with the re-
sult that in the past three years, there has
been such activity that horticulture in all
its branches and, to a great extent agri-
culture also, has become a power in the
land, with influence that carries its de-
mands and suggestions right into govern-
mental quarters.

The appointment of Sir D. Hall, one of
the most notable of practical scientists,
to the Department of Agriculture, the

formation of a horticultural department
and the appointment of W. L. Lobjoit to
this latter are all evidences of the power
of organization. The Chamber of Com-
merce, the Horticultural Trade Association
with its niunerous branches, and the Brit-
ish Florists Federation are all more or less
commercially controlled and are linked
together. In addition, there is the Feder-
ation of British Growers, formed last year
through the amalgamation of the long es-
tablished Market Gardeners, Nurserymen
and Farmers Association with the Na-
tional Fruit Growers Federation. These
two organizations attracted but little at-
tention, but since the amalgamation under
the title of Federation of British grow-
ers, it has become a mighty power with
600 branches and Earl Winterton as presi-
dent. The president is something of a
power in government circles and with
several other strong parliamentary mem-
bers connected with one or other of these
organizations, all linked with the Cham-
ber of Horticulture, the British trader's
interests are being safeguarded as never
before. The regulation of imports of hor-
ticultural produce is among the many
things accomplished, the overthrow of
government grants -to certain cobperative
organizations and the successful fight
against the railway .plant carrying edict
may be attributed also to the influence
of the Chamber and its powerful supports.
The H. T. J. report of the first annual
dinner of the Federation of British Grow-
ers indicates that our own trade has still
much to accomplish before it is in a po-
sition so influential as that of their con-
freres overseas.

Carnation, Mrs. Grace Coolidge

Wm. Sim, Cliftondale, Mass., who has
made Carnations his specialty for many
years, is the proud originator of a new
variety, Mrs. Grace Coolidge, a cross be-
tween Rosette and White Matchless. It
is a large, fragrant flower with the real
Coolidge red threading the white petals.
Tiny red pencilings cut the center of
every petal, like delicate needles pointing
to the heart of the flower. The Carna-
tions will not be ready for market until
next year, and Mr. Sim's claim for it is
"There is nothing like it anywhere."

Dwarf Oleanders

One of the main failings of the Olean-
der as a commercial plant is its tendency
to legginess rather than its mere slow-
ness. This failing has, however, been over-
come, for we read of a new dwarf tjrpe
which has been originated in France by
M. Georges Morin of La Rochelle. He has
three varieties that he is growing for the
market. The plants have a distinctly dwarf
habit and, when out back, flower freely in
small pots. Anyone familiar with the charm-
ing Rose-like Oleander flowers will realize
the possibilities of a dwarf type although
the poisonous qualities of the family must
not be overlooked. No one, however, is like-
ly to chew Oleander leaves for amusement.

James R. Pitcher

The Eastern Underwriter of recent date
gives an interesting account of James R.
Pitcher, large scale pioneer in the orchid
and perennial plant line, who was at one
time head of the famous concern of
Pitcher and Manda. In 1902 Mr. Pitcher
organized an agency for the Aetna Life
in New York City. He was one of the
first to write accident policies for the
Travelers; later he organized a mutual
in which he was to receive one dollar for
every policy issued. Soon the company
was writing some thirty thousand a year.
Eventually Mr. Pitcher capitalized his
interest for $600,000. He is reputed to
have sunk over $750,000 on his gardens
and greenhouses at Short Hills, N. J.
After engaging in mercantile enterprises
for nearly ten years Mr. Pitcher went
with the Aetna and although head of
the agency he personally wrote a great
deal of business. It was through Mr.
Pitcher that a number of those in the
trade took out life insurance policies. Al-
though Mr. Pitcher is now in retirement
his business continues as a corporation
and sends him daily reports. Mr. Pitcher's
personal clients multiply his business of
their own accord. They come from all
states in the Union. Sometimes the morn-
ing mail brings a dozen remittances from
the Pacific Coast. Mr. Pitcher says he
has two great interests in life, insurance
and horticulture and that the latter has
cost him almost as much as insura,nce has
profited him.

Seedsmen — Give a Thought to
Florida

How about the possibilities of seed
production in Florida? Mr. Johnson, in
his strong plea for recognition of that
State's merits, as presented in the April
2 issue, suggests a wide range of oppor-
tunity, but actually mentions only Water-
melon seed as a product of this class that
has already been raised there.

How about climate? Is it too humid
to permit the maturing of such of the
flower seeds as has won California her
important place in this field of horticul-
tural endeavor?

We, and our seedsmen readers, will be
glad to hear from anyone who can give
facts about seed production in Florida as
it has actually worked out. Meanwhile,
have all you seedsmen readers read Mr.
Johnson's letter? We suspect it will in-
terest you — and maybe it will excite your
curiosity and determination to "give a
thought to Florida."

The Florists' Exchange

California Seed Trade

John Bodger & Sons Co., of Los Ange-
les, advise us that they have had good
rains, followed by good planting weather,
and that the prospects for a normal crop
are of the best. They have had an ex-
ceptional run on surplus stock of flower
seeds, especially Asters and Zinnias. They
prophesy that in a few years more the
Zinnia will be the most popular annual
flower grown, basing their claims on the
man.y complimentary letters and reports
received from Seattle, Montreal, Texas
and Florida, showing that these flowers
will thrive in any climate and under any
conditions, which cannot be said of the
Aster and many other flowers which are
used largely in floral work.

The firm has just succeeded in planting
t™.and one-half acres to lath houses for
Aspidistras, both variegated and green
and hope to be able to take care of the'
trade along these lines in from two to
three years. They also anticipate a suc-
cessful growing season for Iris Tingitana,
and hope to find at digging time that the
bulbs produced are of as fine quality as
those imported from Europe. Fifty
thousand bulbs have been planted as a
tryout, and if successful, the firm will go
into the business the coming year.

New Rates on Certain Incoming
Mail

The Convention of the Universal Postal
Union, signed at Madrid, Nov. 30, 1920,
IS to become effective generally on the
first of January, 1922, but it was agreed
that on thirty days' notice the countries
to the agreement could put the new rates
into effect at once. Accordingly this has
now been done by Austria. Belgian-Congo,
Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Egypt, Fin-
land, France, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lux-
emburg, i\Iorocco (excluding Spanish
zone), the Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Siam, Sweden, Switzerland and Tunis.
_ Because of this shortening up the time
into which the new rates were to go into
effect considerable mail matter is being
received into the United States from the
foregoing countries, resulting in the neces-
sity of collecting a double deficiency in
postage collected from addresses on this
side.

With this explanation business men will
imderstand the cause of the deficiency col-
lection, which will continue more or less
imtil the senders of mail matter in the
cotmtries noted become more fully con-
versant with the new rates.

It is to be noted, however, that there is
no increase in the postage rates applicable
to articles mailed in the United States ad-
dressed for delivery to these foreign coun-
tries, nor will there be imtil Jan. 1, 1922,
when the following rates will be enforced:'
For letters, 50 centimes (lOc) for the first
20 grams {7 grams equal to one-quarter
ounce) or fraction thereof, and 25 cen-
times (5c.) for each additional 20 grams
or fraction thereof. For postcards, 30 cen-
times (6c.) for a single card and for each
of the two parts of a reply card. For
printed papers, commercial papers and
samples of merchandise, 10 centimes (2c.)
per 50 grams or fraction thereof, pro-
vided that the minimiun charge on com-
mercial papers cannot be less than 50 cen-
times (10c.) and that the minimum charge
on samples of merchandise cannot be less
than 20 centimes (4c.)

William F. Gude has been appointed a
member of the committee of five that will
represent the Washington Chamber of
Commerce at the ninth annual convention
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, to be held at Atlantic Citv,
from April 27 to 29. Announcement of
the appointment -was made by President
Albert Schulteis of the local chamber of
commerce.

Ferdinand Peck of Chicago placed a
white Carnation in the coat lapel of
President Harding the other day, and
urged that he wear such a flower every
day during his stay in the White House.

A great deal of interest was manifested
during the week in the Narcissus show,
held in the Takoma Park Public Library,
under the auspices of the Takoma Park
Horticultural Club. There were many
entries and a large number of prizes was
offered. These consisted of varying
amounts of bulbs donated by the following
concerns: Peter Henderson & Co., New
York; the American Bulb Co., Chicago;
Stumpp & Walter Co., New York; and
the W. Atlee Burpee Co., Philadelphia.

Easter Trade

April 1. — Easter business was far
better than had been hoped for by any-
one. The spirit of shop early which per-
meates the atmosphere at Christmas time,
was again evidenced at Easter, and many
plants were sold and delivered during
the early part of Easter week. Neverthe-
less, the strenuous rush of holidays seems
to be inevitable, and this Easter was not
an exception to the rule. Thursday, Fri-
day and Saturday foimd the florists of
Knoxville up to their eyes in work, and
the early hours of morning foxmd many
of them still on the job; yes, "all night
long," was the condition in many cases.

Owing to the undue amount of warm
weather, some of the stock that had been
timed for Easter came a little early. Es-
pecially was this true of the Lily crop.
It was impossible to hold them, although
every effort was made to retard their de-
velopment. One florist even went so far
as to store his Lilies in the basement of
his store among large blocks of ice en-
deavoring to keep the paints in ts salable
condition for Easter, but even many of
these were too far advanced and were un-
salable when the time came to dispose of
them. While the warm weather was a
disadvantage in the case of Lilies, it
proved very helpful to the crop of Roses
and Carnations which was larger and of
better quality than ever before.

The McNutt Floral Company had a nice
increase in sales over last year, with a
marked increase in the demand for cor-
sage bouquets. Mr. McNutt states that
he is agreeably surprised over the outcome
of Easter business.

Mrs. Rosa Hall Ryno says that business
was much better than last year. Her sales
consisted chiefly in Lilies, Primroses and
Hyacinths of which she had some very
fine plants.

A. H. Dailey had all the business he
could take care of. He had a large stock
of cut flowers and plants and all were sold.
He was somewhat handicapped in having
his store force crippled through illness
He noticed a marked increase in the de-
mand for corsage bouquets.

The firm of Crouch, Florist, enjoyed its
full share of the Easter trade; all stock
was cleaned up and more might have been
sold. In connection with the hea^-iest
Easter trade in the history of their busi-
ness, they had one of the largest wedding
iobs ever executed in this city. The
Keith-Pettway wedding was probably the
most elaborate ever solemnized here. Com-
ing as it did on the Thursday before
Easter it taxed the force to its fullest
capacity.

Baum's Home of Flowers make a very
optomistic report of Easter business. They
claim an increase of 15 per cent in the
amount of sales with an increase of from
20 per cent to 30 per cent in the number
of orders. This difference was brought
about by lower prices and the demand for
cheaper stock than had been the custom
heretofore. For example, Easter Lilies
which sold for SIO a doz. at Easter, 1919
and 1920, averaged about ?5 a doz. this

year. Roses, too, were listed somewhat
cheaper this year than last, while the
quality was even better. Considerable
loss was sustained on Easter Lilies that
bloomed too far in advance.

Mrs. Howard Stair of the firm of
A. H. Dailey, who has been ill for some
time is reported to be improving.

Trade Xotes

We are in the midst of another
Winter as we write this. Not a snowy,
zero Winter to be sure, but cold enough to
kill the leaves on the tender trees and to
do away with the worry of the fruit
growers as to where they are to secure
pickers for their Peaches. The day after
Easter, the temperature fell rapidly, and
by the next morning there was ice a half-
inch thick in places. Very little florist
stock had been set in the op«i as yet
so the trade did not suffer directly. Lilaca
were in full bloom and they were in-
jured in many places.

Easter was the best the trade has ever
known here. For ten days, the weather
had been perfect; unseasonably warm,
but bright and clear. As a result Daffo-
dils and Hyacinths in the open were
practically gone by the dawn of Easter.
Crowds were in town shopping every day
for a week before Easter and by the end
of the week. Lilies and other pot plants
were running scarce. The supply of Lilies
and cut flowers was never larger than this
year. In fact, there was some uneasiness
a week before lest there would be a sur-
plus. On the contrary all agree that every-
thing worth selling was sold long before
noon Easter Sunday.

The cold and the almost continuous rain
of the past week has given, the trade a
chance to get their houses in shape and
their bedding stock into shape. Every-
thing indicates that the demand will be
heavy this Spring, but it is fortunate
that it does not come too soon.

Geraniums will be even scarcer here
this year than last. In fact, the Geranium
is rapidly losing its popularity here, be-
cause it does not withstand the long dry
Summers well. It looks as though the as-
sortment of bedding plants was not going
to be very complete this year; Petimias
are the most puopular for porch boxes,
while Salvia and Cannas have the bedding
business pretty much to themselves. Some
new bedding plants that will give results
are much needed for this climate.

General Notes

The parks of the city are in good
condition this Spring. Pansies have been
used by the tens of thousands and are
making a wonderful show. This is sure
to increase the demand for plants next
season.

Tom Joy was in Louisville last week on
a business trip.

week past, but is slowly improving.

Post Easter Reports

Reports from Louisville florists not
reached on the first inquiry concerning
Easter business, show that everyone in
the Louisville district had capacity Easter
business, and that the trade as a whole
is more than satisfied with results ob-
tained. Business has been fairly good
during the week following Easter, al-
though siiffering from the usual dullness
which follows a busy period.

It is claimed that more business was
turned down this season on account of
shortage of workers to handle it than
because of lack of flowers, or through getting
records of the stock on hand and sold
mixed up. This indicates a strong need
for more working space and an increased
number of trained part time workers who
can be called upon in emergencies.

There is no doubt but what Easter
stocks were much more plentiful this year
than last, and that prices were consider-
ably under those of last year; neverthe-
less, profits as a whole were very fair.

Local Florist Robbed

Miss Amelia Miller, operating a
floral shop at 225 West Jefferson at. was
robbed of $18 in cash and badly scared

while walking a block from the streei
car to her home on Highland ave., follow
ing a day at the sotre. Just as she passec
an alley a negro darted out, grabbed hei
purse and ran back into the alley. Th(
purse, containing the money, some stoeki
and bonds, and a gold pencil, was latei
found in the alley, only the cash having :
been taken. It is believed that this was
a neighborhood negro who was conversant
with Miss Miller's owning and operating
the store and who had planned to grat
a day's receipts. However, he grabbec
the purse just after Easter, when business
was quiet.

Heavy frost just after Easter caused
much fruit damage in Kentucky, destroyed
many early vegetables, and injured early
planted flowers, etc.

The Jacob Schulz Co., the Edith V
Walker & Brothers Co., and C. B. Thomp-
son & Co., all have miniature shops at the
Jefferson County Armory, as part of the
first annual merchants' exhibit and style
show of the Louisville Retail Merchants
Association, April 1 to 9. All three con-
cerns have attractive exhibits and are
showing baskets, potted stocks, cut flowers,

The Shawnee Welfare Club on West
Broadway is offering a series of prizes
for best lawns, flower gardens, etc., tended-
by boys and girls in the neighborhood.
Local merchants are putting up the prizes.

Red Poppies tor Kentucky

A newspaper item clipped from the
Lexington press of March 28_ says:

"Poppies from ^Flanders Field' are to
bloom in Kentucky if a package of seed
just received by Prof. C. W. Mathews,
head of the horticultural department of
the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station, bears fruit.

"An effort is being made to estabfish
the blood-red Poppy that blooms in pro-
fusion over the bloody battlefields of
Flanders in every state in the Union. The
seed is being distributed by a Los An-
geles nursery whose president while in
France during the Summer of 1919, con-
ceived the idea of having a large quantity
of the seed brought to America and the
Poppy established as a memorial to
American soldiers who perished in Flan-
ders. . -

"The plan of those distributing the
seeds is to send a package of them to
everv State.

"Professor Mathews will plant the seed
on the experiment station farm this
Spring and give it the attention neces-
sary for carrying out the purpose for
which it was sent." „ „

Easter Trade at Montgomery

April 2. — With the mercury cavorting
around the eighties, the woods full of
Dogwood in full bloom, long sprays of
Spireeas nodding to the gentle breezes, gar- ■
dens full of Spring bulbs attracting the
gaze in every direction, it is no wonder
that the Peterson boys gazed with appre-
hension on their large stock of Easter
plants just in prime condition for sale.
Large decorations, especially of churches
were out of the question.

Get busy was the watchword, price Hsta
were sent out to prospective buyers in
every direction and in a few hours came
the joyful news that many of the growers
had failed to connect. Their Lilies were
not in bloom, the result was that by Fri-
day night, not a salable plant was left of
their 5400 bulbs at an average price of
271^0. a flower and buds. The packers
certainly did hustle.

Local sales commenced late, but all good
stock was cleaned up. Lilies at retail were .
50c. a flower and bud. Roses, shorts, I
$3 a doz.; medium, §5; selected, $7.50
and §10. Fancy Mocks, §15. Carnations,
S3 a doz.; Snapdragons, §2 and $3; Sweet ,
Peas, of which 25,000 were sold, S2 a 100;
corsage bouquets, $3 to §10.

No attempt was made to offer many high
priced baskets of plants, as the general
condition of business was nearly at_ a
stagnation point in other lines, but quite
a quantity of combination pots were sold,
ranging from §2 to §5 each. In compan-
son to Easter trade of 1920, sales were 15
per cent less, but this was the highest
point ever reached by Rosemont Gar-
den.s. This year's sales were 15 per cent
ahead of 1919. The stock was unusually

The Market

April 5. — Last Monday and early
Tuesday morning there was a heavy de-
mand for flowers suitable for funeral
work and it kept everybody busy, but the
rest of the week and today, the market
is very sluggish. Plenty of fine stock, but
as one man said: "It wasn't a question of
price; to make the sale was the trouble."
Large shipments are arriving so fast that
it is impossible to take care of them. Out-
side Valley has made its appearance, but
no Lilac as yet. It's a buyer's market
this week.
Retail Easter Business

If there are any dissatisfied retail-
ers about, I have not run across them.
There may have been Easters when higher
prices prevailed, but the all around vol-
ume of business this year surpassed all
records. The enormous production of
blooming plants and the almost unlimited
supply of cut flowers made the store men
feel comparatively easy about taking or-
ders all the week through. There was some
disappointment over certain stocks; with a
steadily rising temperature from Wednes-
day until Sunday, it was no wonder that
some of the stock went soft. Plant trade
was never so well handled and everybody
sold out. Cut flowers had a tremendous
call, while the corsage business far ex-
ceeded that of former years. High grade
orchids. Gardenias and Valley were in
good supply; it was the Sweet Pea trade
that almost drove the store folks to dis-
traction. While this crop was heavy, many

Long Live The Florists- Exchange

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

I have just finished reading the March
26 issue of The Florists' Exchange from
the first to the last page, all of which I
found most interesting. It is one of the
ablest conducted trade papers that I have
any knowledge of. There isn't a grower
or a florist in the United States who can
afford to be without such a weekly pub-
lication, in my judgment; with all ita
nursery news and information it is in-
valuable. It is a great credit to you for
having developed such a paper. Long live

Greenhouse Crops

In the Ohio Vegetable Growers Asso-
ciation Journal, L. C. Corbett's (U. S-
Dept. of Agriculture) address on "Green-
house Heating Problems" as given at Co-
lumbus is given in detail. From official
figures, it would appear that from 8412
establishments in 1918, the aggregate
value of the greenhouse crops was over
$46,000,000, about one-fourth of which was
derived from vegetables. The total ground
area was over 2700 acres and to heat these
greenhouses 1,600,000 tons of coal or its
equivalent was used. It would appear
that at that time coal cost absorbed about
one-third the total gross receipts.

Tulips Venus and Wm. Copeland

In our issue of March 26, page 740, un-
der "A Study in Bulb Values," appears
the statement that in the colcctioa of 12
varieties of May-flowering Tulips exhibit-
M at the recent International (New
ITorkj Flower Show, one variety had been
entered imder two did'ercnt names, and
that 'this caused considerable contusion
to critical visitors who could not under-
stand that the variety William Copeland
could be as large as, and was so similar
to, the new variety Venus. As a matter of
lact both pans were 'Venus.' "

C. Zandbergcn of Zandbergen Bros,
bulb growers of Valkenburg, Holland, and
Oyster Bay, N. Y., writes us that being
a member of the firm who supplied the
bulbs, he desired, on request of the win-
ner, to contradict the statement of the
equality between the two varieties, as only

12 of the Venus varieties were ordered
and supplied to the firm who won the
P"ze- When strictly selected bulbs of
VVm. Copeland are used, and having good
luck with, this variety will produce very
good sized flowers. The foliage, however

Wanted a Drip Preventer

Is there anything I could put over the
top ot the ventilators on the outside to
prevent the rain coming in? The venti-
lators have shrunk about %in. away from
the frame. I thought perhaps there would
be someone selling something for that pur-
pose. Something like a weather strip. —

—Without seeing juat what is the real
trouble, we cannot offer you any service-
able advice. The ventilator sash may, per-
haps, be warped, or the hinges may not
be working well, thus preventing the sash
fitting flat onto the bars. We imagine the
local carpenter or any handy man will
quickly see what is wrong and devise some
means of overcoming it. We doubt
whether any concern stocks a fitting for
the purpose.

An Edible Canna

The possibility of extracting sugar from
Dahlia roots is scarcely so important aa
that of making a food plant of the
Canna. The great amount of top devel-
oped by Dahlias demands considerable
space, so that sugar production from
Dahlia roots is hardly likely to rival that
of the Sugar Beet.

Canna edulis, however, is a live proposi-
tion. According to the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Washington, D. C, this plant,
known as the Queensland Arrowroot, is
grown in the Everglades of that country
because of ita large yields— 16 to 30 owts.
of starch per acre. The stems and foliage
are used for forage, while the roots when
cooked is as palatable as the Turnip. The
roots are most attractive, being pure white
with a crimson tip. The individual tubers
are as large as Potatoes. For many years
it has been cultivated in Australia as it
IS far more profitable than the Bermuda
Arrowroot (Maranta arundinaeea) .

Peanuts in Excelsis

^me time since, we recorded the work
c m ,■ "• ^- Carver, the negro scientist
of Xuskegee Institute, in relation to the
products obtainable from the Sweet Po-
tato. The worthy professor has been giv-
ing his attention to the Peanut also and,
not BO long since, he submitted over 100
sample products derived from the humble
Arachis hypogaa to the Ways and Means
Committee, Washington, D. C. These
products ranged from milk, equal to the
finest prescribed for invalids or infants,
to ink suitable for sketching.

Among the collection were 10 kinds of
milk, five kinds of punches, including
Cherry, Lemon, Orange, Blackberry and
Plum, two grades of flour, five breakfast
foods, several flavorings for ice creams,
etc., nine kinds of stains for wood, face
powder, face cream, sauce, cattle cake, a
hay compound made from the vines, and
several kinds of oils. Prof. Carver states
that the flavoring extract from Peanuts
may be used as the base for any flavor,
including Strawberry and Vanilla.

The display was made under the aus-
pices of the United Peanut Ass'n, which
desires a protective duty against foreign
Peanuts.

It is not recorded what the committee
did with the samples of punches.

The Florists' Exchange

Lancaster, Pa.

April 2. — Summing up the Easter busi-
ness, it failed to measure up to that of a
year ago, but so close to it that compared
with other business that anticipate a
splurge for Easter, the florists can con-
gratulate themselves on what they did.

The heaviest losses were on bulbous stock
that was advanced too far to hold up
properly under the hot weather that the
Saturday previous to Easter gave us; in
fact, one of the retailers said that he be-
lieved that the heat wave had a deleteri-
ous influence on trade as he foxind that
Friday afternoon and Saturday morning's
business went ahead of that of a year ago,
but, about noon, when it began to get real
hot, the trade dropped off and that it was
almost impossible to move the wide opened
Tulips and impossible to keep them from
opening.

Trade since Easter has been very good
and most of the stock has been moved the
past week so that aside from the Tulips
and Hyacinths that went bad there is
very little left over. One peculiar fea-
ture of this year's Easter is the fact
that Easter Lilies were one of the slow-
est moving articles on the list.

A mighty good indication of good busi-
ness in sight is the fact that flowers for
personal adornment are becoming more
popular every day and the party and wed-
ding decorations for the past week and
the week to come, equal if they do not ex-
ceed those of the whole of the past year.

The real Winter weather of the past
week has put most of the outdoor flowers
out of commission; with the thermometer
hanging around 20 it was only the shel-
tered locations that could supply any of
these for the market, and the fruit blos-
soms, all of which were two to three weeks
ahead of their time> are ruined. Just
how much damage has been done to shrub-
bery cannot be told as yet, but it is likely
to be large. With the grower, the coal
bill again became quite an item of ex-
pense without a corresponding increase in
receipts and the storeman who thinks that
the growers sleep on a bed of Roses would
find, if he got into the game, that some
of the Roses have mighty big thorns. It
is easy enough to give the poor grower
a lot of good advice either oratorically or
printed, but when Dame Nature deals out
a biun hand to them no amount of science
or knowledge will make that hand win.
There is only one thing to do and that
is to keep right on working and thinking
and watching the market, and the latter
is the most important of the three, simple
production will not get you very far but
produce what the market wants and you
won't be the last one in the race.

Albert M. Herb.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The usual after Easter dullness has
prevailed in the local market the past
week. The early part of the week was
very slow, with a larger demand toward
the end of the week, until by Saturday
nearly every item on the list was pretty
well sold out, with the exception of a
few Roses and Carnations. Stock re-
ceipts have been heavy and the quality
of the best.

Roses, Carnations and Sweet Peas are
in the heaviest supply, with Easter Lilies,
Callas, Snapdragon, Mignonette, Calendu-
la, Valley and orchids about equal to the
demand. Some fine Darwin Tulips are
seen and a few Jonquils are still arriv-
ing. Some Southern Jonquils are com-
ing in, but these do not take very well in
this market. Southern greens are arriv-
ing in better shape and are cleaning up
daily.

We have yet to hear from a single
person connected with the business in this
section, be he grower, wholesaler or re-
tailer, who was not more than satisfied
with the Easter business. They all claim
that while it might not be the biggest in
dollars and cents, in stock handled and
customers served it was a record breaker.

Ed. Weaver, manager at Randolph &
McClements, reports several large wedding
decorations on the list for April that will
tax their decorating department to the
limit, while Harvey Scheaff of E. A.
Willianis, Inc., says that they have more
after Easter weddings booked this year
than ever before.

A. W. Smith Jr., of the A. W. Smith
Flower Stores Co., reports that their
decorating and landscape department is
worked to the limit.

The McCallmn Co. and employees had
the surprise of their lives on Wednesday
morning when James Riley, assistant man-
ager at the factory, and Jennie Coey of
the accounting department walked in and
calmly announced that they had been
married at Wellsburg, W. Va., the day
before. The happy couple will make their
future home on the North Side.

The Pittsburgh Florists and Gardeners*
Club will hold its regular monthly meet-
ing in the basement of the North Side
Carnegie Library, Tuesday evening, April

The Easter flower shows at the Park
Conservatories excel any show held here
for several years. Mr. Jones of Schenley
Park and Mr. Moore of West Park de-
serve credit for the same. The news-
papers gave them much publicity a day
or two before Easter with photographs
of the different grous of blooming plants,
which no doubt helped the Easter busi-
ness in this section. E. C. Tipton.

Chailie Fine, who has not the largest

business panned out, said "Fine!" Charlie

Ley and McAllan, Ltd., did a large

Easter of this firm. They were more than
gratified.

Miss A. Campbell of Campbell's, Ltd., is
slowly recovering from her severe illness.
This firm handled a fine lot of flowering

were very good. American Beauty Roses
were to be had here, specials, but owing
to the scarcity they were high priced. Of
cut flowers generally, this firm is to the
front all the time.

Easter Trade

Easter, 1921, from a florist's point
of view, was first class. Mild weather
helped in the delivery of stock without
excessive packing, and flowers were plen-
tiful with the exception of Lilies. These
were in good demand at high prices; most
of the bulbs this year only produced three
to four blooms. Callas came to the res-
cue and helped out the shortage somewhat.
The flower buying public, owing to the
persuading powers of the florists and their
help, bought more Roses, Carnations and
Spring flowers. Pot plants were also in
demand as usual.

At McKenna's floral emporiimi, where
they dispense the sweets of nature, I saw
a large and varied supply of plants. This
firm grows a lot of plants, both for their
two stores and also a wholesale trade.
Hall and Robinson's den of flowers could
hardly be surpassed. Will Hall knows
a well grown plant when he sees one; his
firm has 'em.

John Eddy & Son, who cater to the
upper ten in Westmount, has a high class
trade. This firm are also growers and re-
port good business.

S. J. Denson, the English Florist, was
very much on the job when I called.

C. A. Smith & Son were well pleased
with their first Easter in the retail.
Charlie Smith is a very good fern man
and contemplates building some new
houses in the near future to grow them.

Mrs. Hill, the Rosary Florist, carried
a heavy stock of pot plants and had.

sale) imported some very special Am.
Beauty Roses, but not in such large quan-
tity as previous years owing to the scar-
city. They quickly disposed of them to
the florists. The large quantity of Roses,
Carnations, Snaps, Mysotis, Sweet Peas,
Anemones, etc., that this firm handled,
was bought up by the retailers and ship-
ments were sent out to fiorists far and
wide. New York florists used a lot of
Anemones and have booked orders for
regular shipments. This flower ships well
and has good lasting qualities; I think
there is a future for it.

Jottings

Among the visitors to Montreal re-
cently was Harry McKenna of Quebec
City, A. P. de Beaujouk of Three Rivers,
Mrs. Lemeuis, the lady florist, of Quebec,
besides quite a few florists from over
the line.

The importation of specimen Box trees
this year has been quite large; several
firms receiving large shipments.

The Canadian Maple trees are in de-
mand for shipment to France to be planted
near where our boys are buried.

C. J. Hill recently underwent a very
serious operation; hopes are entertained
for a speedy recovery. Charlie is well
known not only in the florists' trade, but
also as a prominent high Mason.

Toronto, Ont. !

Business O. K. Lilies Only Short |

This Easter proved to be one of the :
best the Toronto florists have ever en- j
joyed. All report that a big business was !
done and in most instances it exceeded
that of last year. This may be accoimted j
for by the fact that Easter business was ,
well advertised by the Toronto Retail '
Florists Club and by individual members. [
There was an abundance of flowers, the
only shortage being in Easter Lilies.

The club's advertising was carried in
the daily papers and the Sunday World
and Weekly Star. In the latter two the
space taken was a quarter page in each.
G. M. Geraghty, chairman of the publicity
committee, was responsible for the adver-
tising being done in such a big way. The
campaign was well supported by both
growers and retailers.

Several Toronto members of the F. T. D.
will attend the executive meeting at De-
troit. H.. G. Dillemuth will be there and
will be supported by G. M. Geraghty,
E. Simmons, L. Waters, J. J. Higgins and
Mrs. Moore in Toronto's request to have
the Canadian convention extended to
three days. Conimittees are prepared to
get to work immediately following the
executive meeting and make arrangements
for what is expected to be the biggest
convention in the history of the F. T. D.

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Dxmlop have gone to
Boston, where they will take in the flower
show. They will also visit at New York.

Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Simmons are at
Atlantic City, N. J.

Fred Adams of the S. A. Anderson Co.,
Buffalo, was in Toronto last Tuesday.

On Friday afternoon, April 1, nearly 5041
members of the Toronto Retail Florists i
Club attended the matinee at the Royal ul
Alexandra Theatre. They occupied the
boxes and a block of seats in the orches-
tra. All the artists were presented with ,
baskets of flowers, and the chorus girls ii
with corsages.
Are Florists Manufacturers ?

Pending decision of a test case to»
be heard at Ottawa, florists will not be *
required to obtain a sales tax license nor
to collect the sales tax, according to a tele-
gram from G. W. Taylor, Deputy Minister
of Inland Revenue. In Hamilton, florists
were under the impression that they were
listed as manufacturers and must collect
two per cent sales tax on all corsage
bouquets, wreaths, floral displays, etc.
Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa florists re-
fused to collect the tax or be rated as
manufacturers, hence the test case above.
Toronto florists state that they only ar-
range a few flowers and do not manu-
facture anything.

G. M. Geraghty, of Dimlop's Limited.
reports business this Easter far ahead oi
last year's. The sales have been totalled
up and the result is very satisfactory.
The flrm had in use its own three trucks
and five hired ones. The Easter staff
numbered 32. Mr. Geraghty pointed out
that Toronto fiorists were greatly ham-
pered this year by their being no mail de-
livery on Good Friday, neither could the
mail be obtained at the post office. As a
result, mail that was posted in Montreal
on March 23 was received on March 28.
This kind of mail service is most unsatis-
factory.

Tidy & Son are exceedingly well satis-
fied with their Easter trade. S. A. Mc-
Fadden stated that there was a good sup-
ply of stock for Easter and had been lota
since. Business continues good.

H. G. Dillemuth also had a good Easter
trade. That on Thursday was the best yet
experienced on a Thursday before Easter.
Cash sales were away ahead of last year's.
In addition to the demand for plants there
was a big demand for cut flowers, espe-
cially for corsage wear. Violets and
Sweet Peas were sold out early, and there
were not nearly enough to go around.
Since Easter, stock has been plentiful,
and there have been quite a number oi
small decorations requiring flowers and
palms. G. C. K.

Here's an extract from a letter writ-
ten by a man who had been very side
but was recovering. It is worth read-
ing: "Between trying to catch some breath,
splitting the sides and lungs with cough-
ing, and trying to make either not less
than one or not more than 500 heartbeatB
to the minute, I had one grand old time.
Instead of sleeping I went through some
of the most weird dreams. I saw well
known florists in bunches, all enamelled
white, plunge joyfully into great big white
marble basins and disappear for good. I
wanted to keep them company, but was-
not allowed."

The Easter Trade

April J.— Tlic resulta of the Easter
tiiuU? thid year were very satisfactory. As
BridKt'port is a manufacturing city and
miiny of the factories are on part time,
some arc not working iit all, the amount
of plants sold at Easti-r was surprising.
Cut llowers and potted plants were both
iu good demand. Most of the florists re-
port tliat although they were well sup-
plied with Easter Lilies, by Saturday
aftrinoon all were completely cleaned out.
Uullious stock, including DalTodils, Tulips
and Hyacinths were in plentiful supply.
The concensus of opinion is that these
plants in pans of various sizes were in
gieator demand than the more expensive
imi^kets.

The prices asked were somewhat lower
than those of last year. Roses were from
$3.50 to $7 a doz. Carnations, $1.50, $2
and $2.50 a doz., Violets $3 and $4 a 100,
Sweet Peas $1.50 a bunch, and cut Nar-
cissus, Tulips and Daffodils $1.50 a doz.
Easter Lilies sold from 35c. to 50c. a
bloom.

The florists' windows never looked more
beautiful. Many of the pots were cov-
ered with paper covers, and the com-
bination baskets were very attractive.
Among the potted plants were Baby
Ramblers, Cinerarias, Bougainvilleas,
Hydrangeas, Spiraeas, Primroses, Azaleas,
Marguerites, Ericas, Genistas, Acacias,
ferns and palms.

Various Notes

The Arcade Flower Shop reports a
very satisfactory Easter trade. They dis-
posed of every plant in the store. They
had a fine array of potted plants in the
center of the Arcade.

Carl Reck of John Reck and Son tells
us that as Easter is over he is busily
preparing for a large Spring trade. They
are beginning their outdoor planting at
the greenhouses. This was the largest
Easter this firm ever had. Prices were
somewhat reduced from those asked last
year. Although this firm was heavily-
stocked, they succeeded in disposing of
everything as they had three branch stores
in addition to their regular store. As
times were so bad, they were agreeably
surprised at the outcome of the Easter
trade, as the prospects previous to Easter
were not favorable.

The Park Garden's Flower Shop has
removed from its old site at 1038 Main st.
and is now occupying the store which was

, Trade is back to normal again; a
c.et week after the Easter rush gave the
I's a chance to recuperate. Very differ-
(; with the growers; a visit yesterday
f)wed most of the benches emptied of
Ister plants, all filled with stock for
Lraorial Day.

Monday and Tuesday after Easter the
taperature dropped to twenty degrees
fil caused much anxiety to the Peach
(twers, (there are several large or-
cirds in the comity), but, fortunately,
1 serious damage resulted.

1: m-Bright wedding April 9. Lilies and
ims were used at the church and the
c^orations at the Bancroft Hotel were
c ried out in Lilies, palms and Huckle-

formerly run by the New York Florist, at
1184 Main st. This store is much larger
than their former place of business and
has a splendid display room. Easter
business was very satisfactory.

James Horan and Son say that business
has been rather slow since Christmas, but
picked up for the Easter trade, which
was very satisfactory. The large baskets
of Azaleas, etc., went rather slowly as
rich people did not buy as much as in
former years. Plants which ranged in
price from $1 to $5 were in big demand
and went rapidly. No Lilies were left by
Saturday afternoon. This firm did not
raise as much as last year, therefore
cleaned out better.

Julius Reck reports that he is looking
forward to a lively Spring trade. He is
cutting some very fine Carnations and
Snapdragons at the present time. This

was the best Eaater this firm ever had.
It had a nice assortment of plants which
were about all cleaned out. F. E. B.

Easter at Orlando, Fla.

Business* showed a considerable increase
over last year, and all salable flowers
were engaged some time before the demand
ceased. The small stock of potted Lilies
in town were all sold several days before
Easter Sunday. Many orders were filled
with Rosea, Sw^et Peas, Watsonias, Free-
sias. Lilies, Callas, Cosmos and other sea-
sonable flowers, all outdoor grown.

The two F. T. D. florists, the Rosalind
Gardens and Violet Dell, report a greatly
increased business by wire, the former
concern showing an increase of over 200
per cent over Eaater, 1920.

Club Meeting

A very interesting meeting of the
Florists Club was called to order by Pres.
W. E. Cook Monday, April 4, in the as-
sembly rooms at the HoUenden. The
president's table was decorated by a vase
of choice Snapdragons exhibited by Paul
Backofen of the Daisy Hill Farms. About
50 members were present, all of whom
evinced a lively interest in the discussion
of flower show topics, which dominate
all others at present. There were no new
members proposed, but several prospects
were reported. The resignation of Ray-
mond Kester, because of his going to
Seattle, Wash., to become connected with
the Hollywood Gardens there was regret-
fully accepted.

A fund of $75 made up by donations,
was handed the entertaining committee
to be used at their discretion. An addi-
tional $25 was voted by the club from its
treasury to help with the entertainment
program.

A committee to assist the S. A. F. com-
mittee in the new membership drive was
appointed by the president.

The judges recommended a certificate
of merit for the vase of Snapdragons
named Jtme Lefka, shown by Paul Back-
ofen. The meeting was then adjourned
to permit Chairman Knoble of the fl,ower
show committee to initiate a round table
session featuring business pertaining to
the approaching show. Practically all the
members of the sub -committees were pres-
ent and many vital points were brought
out. Now that Easter is over, the big
work will begin in earnest.

Items of Interest

Carl Hagenberger sustained a seri-
ous loss Friday, March 25, when his
Parker truck, laden with Easter plants
for the Cleveland market, caught fire
at Mentor, partially destroying the truck
and its load. Fortunately, a fire engine
returning from a nearby fire, noticed the
confiagration and soon extinguished it. A
loss approximating §200 was sustained.

C. E. Eussell underwent an operation
April 4, having his tonsils removed.

Raymond Kester, for the past year and
a half, with the J. M. Gasser Co., severed
his connection with that concern on April
2, and after a brief stay with relatives
in the East, will go to Seattle, Wash., to
enter the business there. Mr. Kester made
many friends during his brief sojourn in
the Fifth City, all of whom extend him
their best wishes. J. M. L.

Easter Business Surprises Florists

Florists here who figured that
Easter this year would be disappointing
because of the present industrial depres-
sion and because of some 20,000 wage earn-
ers being out of work, were gratifyingly
surprised when their sales totals came to
their eyes. The weather during Easter
week was on the whole extremely favor-
able to a big business, being fair and
warm most of the time. On Thursday
morning it rained. Saturday, however,
was a wonderful day, and florists in every
section of the city were fairly swamped
with orders. Sunday was marred consid-
erably by a rainstorm.

Easter plants of all kinds were quite
plentiful but the florists who did not look
for a big demand for cut flowers ran
short. Easter Lilies were scarce and soon
sold at 65c. and 75c. per bloom. How-
ever, florists here push other plants so
much that the Lily, while popular, is no
longer the predominating favorite. Hy-
drangeas were in good supply, of excellent
quality and cleaned up completely at fine
prices. Hyacinths, Tulips and Daffodils
were great favorites and vast quantities of
them were readily sold. The moderate
priced plants were in great demand this
year and great numbers of $2 and $3
offerings were sold. Rose bushes were
plentiful. Higher priced designs did not
sell very rapidly and most florists had
some of these left in stock. Cinerarias
and Genistas were favorites with many,
and none were left. Other stock ottered
in various shops included Scotch Heather,
Crotons, Dracsenas and Pandanus.

Cut flowers were in fair supply and the
quality was excellent. Rose varieties of-
fered here included Killamey, Butterfly,
Milady, Coliunbia and Premier Beauty/
all of which enjoyed a brisk demand.
Sweet Peas and Violets were favorites
with people who wanted corsages, but the

latter were scarce. Carnations were
plentiful and retailed for $2 per doz. Cut
Tulips and Daffodils sold readily at good
prices. The lesson learned here is that it
pays to have confidence, stock up, and then
go after business with a bang.

Gathered Here and There

Max Spanner did a record breaking
Easter business. In addition to using
his Ohio Building store he rented a vacant
room in the same block for a display
room, and had a section in the West To-
ledo Market house. He says business was
fine at all these places. He had a gor-
geous display of plants.

Mr. Feniger, who now operates the
store formerly conducted by the late Mrs.
J. B. Freeman, in addition to his other
store on Adams st., states that Easter
trade was surprising to him. The rain on
Sunday hurt the demand for corsage
bouquets.

The Helmer Flower Shop experienced a
great call for corsages, and cleaned out
completely in cut flowers. They displayed
Rose bushes of excellent quality.

Schramm Bros, broke all records for
Easter week, making a big gain over last
year. Their greenhouses were a riot of
color, decorated with wild Smilax, bird
cages with artificial birds and other
trimmings. They used newspaper space
and folders to stimulate trade. Half page
space was used in both papers here on
Tuesday, and smaller space for follow-ups.
To test their ads and to promote early
buying they offered a §1 Primrose free to

of lesser amounts. The rush began in a
light way Thursday, grew heavy Friday
and came in a flood Saturday. Some of
the shops were cleaned up a couple of
times that day and the market was al-
most exhausted by night.

Stock of all kinds was fairly plentiful.
Spring plants being very abundant, but
even this was exhausted, along with cut
flowers of all sorts. Very little advance
in prices had been made by the wholesale
houses and this advantage was passed on
to the public. Some shops did not add
to their regular prices at all except in
the case of some prticular line of choice
stock. Easter Lilies sold at wholesale for
25c. a bloom. The retail price was 50c.,
which the public seemed willing to pay.
The dealers generally are well pleased
with what they did and feel more confi-
dent than ever that the publicity which
was made possible by the florists' club
fund was a good thing.

James Musso has opened a flower shop
in the Jones Store.

Easter Business Equals Christmas

Easter floral business surpassed ex-
pectations. In fact, it surprised the flo-
rists, who did not expect quite such a
rush of buying as developed. The buying
came close to the Christmas mark and in
a few instances even surpassed that major
day. Easter Lilies were short of supply
though most growers were successful in
bringing in their crops on time. The
plants were healthy and clean and the
blooms large, but even with the good crop
there were not enough to go around. The
Lilies were favored above other flowers
in mediiun priced stock, and medium
prices were most popular. The big stuff
did not sell as it has sold in some former
years. Sales were more numerous but

reports on Alfalfa and hogs, to be used in
schools and colleges. These reports are re-
garded as the best in the country. Copies
have even been sent to schools in Aus-
tralia.

M. E. Chandler is recovering from the

Easter Report

Florists in this section were "som -
what up in the air" before Easter, wo ■
dering how much stock to order. Mai ,■
felt that the btisiness depression esistii 1
in many lines would have its effect on tl ;
florists during Easter week; others b ■
lieved that business would be as good ( :.
better than last year, if weather cond '■
tions were favorable. The optimists wei =
certainly on the right track, and the flori ■'
who ordered light found himself cleam \
out Friday evening or early Saturda
Never in the history of Salt Lake Oil ■
was so much stock moved during an Eastt •
week.

The weather Thursday and Friday Wi i
not as good as it could have been, but
warm sunshiny day Saturday filled ever '
store with eager buyers. Although th :
supply of Easter Lilies was about the sam
as last year, the demand was so muc
greater that it was impossible to buy a
Easter Lily in Salt Lake City on Saturda
afternoon, and most of the stores wer
cleaned out on this item early Fridaj
After the Lilies were gone, Hyacintbij
Tulips, Ramblers, Spirseas and a large ve
riety of other plants cleaned up in rapi
fire order. Cut flowers did not move we
until late Saturday afternoon, but as soo
as the pot plant supply began to get low
the tide turned to cut flowers, with th
consequence that some of the stores sen
an S. 0. S. to the growers late Saturda
night to rush in cut flowers.

The. quality of the stock was the hes
seen for a long time. Prices were lowe
s year, but the volume of business wa
so much greater that the receipts we.
just about as good. Let us hope for man;
more Easters such as the one just pasaec-
Various Notes

Al Alt of the Huddart Floral a
reports Easter business as being mor
than he expected. He put in a mucl
larger stock than ever before, but wa
forced to send rush orders to his grower
at the last minute. Mr. Alt says he al
ways writes himself a letter after eacl
big flower day and tells himself not to tr;
and do more business than he can handle
But his Easter business shows that thea
letters do not have much effect on the re
ceiver.

E. A. Lambourne reports a record busi
ness. Mr. Lambourne was badly handi
capped through the sickness of his right
hand man, Art Granshaw. Mr. Grananav
is laid up with rheumatism, but it ii
hoped that he will soon be around again

Miss Childs of the B. C. Morris Flora
Co. was exceptionally well pleased wit!
Easter results. She ordered a largei
stock this year than last, but Saturdaj
noon found the store cleaned out, and twc
truckloads of Hyacinths, Tulips and othei'
plants were immediately rushed to thf
store; this stock was all sold before clos
ing time.

The Evans Floral Co. had to close iti
doors early Saturday evening on accouni
of being cleaned out.

The Miller Floral Co., at 10 East Broad-
way, broke all records in the handling of
Easter stock. This concern had an im-
mense supply of Easter Lilies and other
stock, but Saturday noon fotmd the nlwit
supply gone. One of the company's trucks
was kept busy all afternoon hauling plants
from the greenhouses, and as fast as they
could be fetched they were sold.

One of the finest windows ever seen in
Salt Lake City was in evidence from
iMonday until Saturday, at the Miller
Floral Co. A large Easter egg, a chicken
farm, with little chicks in abundance,
Easter Lilies, Spiraeas and Rambler Roses
were used. The entrance to an inn,
namely, the "Chick Inn," was built in the
window. Crowds of interested spectators
could be found beiore the window ditring
the entire week. So big was this gather-
ing that it was a hard matter to get
along the street. It was certainly a fine
window, and much credit is due the artist,
Mrs. Huff.

The Ideal Floral Co., at 38 South Main
St.. tells the writer that everything sal-
able was sold at Easter, and more could
have been disposed of had it been obtain-
able. G. J. B.

Irom Spring to Fall. Then at all times the smooth bark
of this Magnolia is strongly in its favor, creating a
pleasing variety when it is set among trees of other
types. The exceedingly large foliage — in which this tree
resembles M. macrophylla — is another interesting feature.
Our picture is of a young tree of this Magnolia, which
has nearly reached its normal height, but will advance
laterally for some years yet. There should be mentioned
further that when the seeds ripen the pods open and the
individual seeds fall an inch or two from the pod, held
there by a small thread attached to them from the pod.
As these suspended seeds are of the same rosy pink color

extends along the mountains even to Ohio, consequently
it is so hardy that it can be used in planting anywhere in
the Middle States.

Wherever freezings of the soil occur to some depth
this and other Magnolias do not take kindly to Autumn
planting, and it is the custom to recommend its trans-
planting for Spring. It appears that having fleshy roots,
as all Magnolias have, to some extent, the cold, freezing
soil is inimical to their welfare, hence the preference for
doing the work in Spring.

Magnolias are easily raised from seeds. As soon as
ripe they should be washed free of pulp,
and be sown at once or kept in moist soil
through the Winter, to be sown as soon
as Spring opens. One may e.xpect every good
seed to grow is so treated. J. M.

pile because it occupied some remote section
of the nursery where visitors could not see
it, or because the nurseryman failed to ad-
vertise. The laws of suggestion play an
important part in sales to nursery visitors,
who may come to purchase a $2 Lilac but
be attracted by some tree, shrub or choice
evergreen which they never knew existed,
and as a result leave a much larger order.

Divide and replant the field grown her-
baceous plants, potting up such sorts as you
anticipate a demand for later on. Also pot
up Roses, Honeysuckle, Boston and English
Ivy, Virginia Creeper and various other
vines. These will be available for Summer
trade and provide business during that dull
period. Prepare your advertisements for in-
sertion in The Florists' Exchange to get
this late Spring and Siunmer trade for potted
plants. Landscape men will be seeking this
stock for their clients who come late.

Acknowledge orders promptly. If unable
to fill an order or obliged to omit certain
items, advise your customers accordingly
without delay. It will be appreciated, but
failure to do so may cause disappointments
which may result in your losing trade.

Do not let inexperienced men "grub out"
your trees instead of digging them care-
fully, getting ample roots. Some foremen
over these gangs look more to quantity than
quality in digging. They make a good per-
sonal showing in the output, but when trees
with mutilated roots reach the buyer, the
nurseryman may expect a protest, resulting
in a rebate on the bill and possibly a lost
customer. If a tree is worth growing well,
it's worth digging well. A mud bath for the
roots in the "puddle bo.x" is helpful in con-
serving moisture in them en route to the cus-
tomer, and is a practice which should not be
overlooked. Samuel Newman Baxter.

Some Future Opportunities and Responsibilities for Nurserymen

Random Impressions Jotted Down After a Visit to the Hicks Nurseries

We present the following article as the opening gun in a series of constructive, practical discussions
of modern, improved methods in nursery management. For the inspirational and technical features
we are going to continue to look to the gentleman whose views are briefly touched on below. There
18 no need to introduce to EXCHANGE readers one who has done and is doing so much to spread
the love of trees and plants and to popularize their use. His unique development of the educational,
artistic catalog, his enthusiastic championship of native plants, and his readiness to try out promis-
,ing introductions are w^ell known among nurserymen. It is the aim of THE EXCHANGE to pre-
sent, with his cooperation, careful, helpful presentations of theories and practices which promise
so much, and which already have been tested and proved worthy of emulation.

I' ID YOU EVER have an opportunity to experiment
I with a switchboard of a big theatre or opera
- house? You throw open first one switch and then
aiiMer, press different simple looking buttons or move
^'a-ius little levers and, with each movement, something
intxsting happens. One button throws a flood of light
intjthe dark corners at the back of the house; another
iih|inates the complicated machinery back stage where

the scenic effects are produced; still another lights a
series of tiny stars around the balconies or up the stair-
ways ; and still another throws on the illuminated sign
board outside to attract and inform passersby.

Well, chatting with Henry Hicks is, to my mind, a
somewhat similar experience. Wandering about the nur-
sery with him, you call attention to some simple little
plant, or a neat block of some attractive shrubs or ever-

greens, and your chance question opens the flood gate
for a wealth of information, opinion and sound common-
sense that may carry you all the way to China and back
again. You note another interesting subject, make a
casual reference to it, and forthwith a volume of practi-
cal suggestion and constructive theory illumines the dark
corners of a whole range of associated subjects. And
without the mind of a dictograph, and the fingers of a
shorthand expert, you are able to absorb and digest only
the main points of the discourse and advice.

Consequently the following notes, transcribed after an
hour's drive about part of the 150 acres of the Hicks
Nurseries at Westbury, N. Y., are simply trains of
thoughts set in motion by Mr. Hicks' dimamic person-
ality and significant observations. Whatever the form
in which I have served it up there is underneath, in
each case, a meaty kernel of commonsense well worth
the careful consideration of American nurserymen.

Subscribers are hereby notified that the

above party is no longer authorized to act

on behalf of THE EXCHANGE.

F. B. McKee called at the offices of The Exchange
March 4 last, and on the strength of credentials from
other well-known publications he was given written
authority to solicit and collect subscriptions for this
paper.

From letters on file here, the man in question has,
without authority' whatsoever, been offering a copj^ of
a design book with a two years' subscription for The
ExcHAXGE, all for $o. Inasmuch as The Exchange is
not offering a premium to subscribers, and for the
reason that McKee was NOT INSTRUCTED to make
such an offer, the authoritj' given him to act on behalf
of this paper is hereby cancelled and our readers are
asked to bear this in mind.

So that McKee will not be confused with authorized
representatives of this paper, we pass along the infor-
mation that he is about 5ft. 4in. to Sin. in height, clean
shaven, light complexion, and is of stocky build.

After reading the reports of fruit and vegetable de-
struction wrought by the past Easter cold wave, it is
encouraging to find one authority as well informed as
to local conditions as Henry Hicks of Westbury, N. Y.,
vigorously denying that Long Island at least suffered
the loss of its Peach crop as was originally announced.
Despite the mild Winter which was no less enjoyable
on the Island than elsewhere, the fruit trees there had
not apparently made sufficient precocious growth to
render themselves liable to frostbites. Indeed, except
for an occasional ilagnolia, ornamental as well as fruit
plants seem to have come through unscathed, all over
what "Neighbor" H. B. Fullerton delights to call the
"Blessed Isle."

The discussion which, when originally started in
these columns, partook of the nature of exploiting the
advantages of the respective States of Florida and
California, later developed into a symposium as to the
value of Florida for exploitation by seedsmen, nur-
serymen and florists. So far as these discussions have
proceeded they have brought much enlightenment as
to the adaptability- of this latter State for horticultural
purposes, and our readers as well as ourselves will un-
doubtedly enjoy reading what others, who have ob-
served Florida conditions, may contribute to the general
knowledge furthering the benefit to be secured through
these writings.

Two things have hitherto stood out as being against
taking up horticultural pursuits in Florida : The first,
the stringent quarantine regulations imposed in that
State on everything going into it. Second : The dis-
advantages labored under in getting produce to market,
caused by lack of shipping facilities : these latter to
quite some extent through the fact of our particular
lines, to date, being so scattered as not to be in a posi-
tion to command the required attention.

As to the Quarantine regulations : We have been in-
formed that the gentlemen in charge of these Florida
restrictions are more open minded than Ave had been
led to believe, and that they are open to reason in
passing on shipments of stock into Florida for repro-
duction purposes which it can be demonstrated will not
induce to the introduction of the various plant diseases
which were the cause of the institution of the strict
quarantine regulations now in effect.

tally, the scheme suggests a way to get rid of an O' ;
supply of any sort of stock at any time — any time, 1 1
is, when gratis distribution will not demoralize pr :
or interfere with the legitimate business of other tra( ;
men of the communit>\

The "Yellow Peril" in the Florist Trade

No one who has not come in actual contact with a
racial problem is equipped to discuss it intelligently.
Theorizing on how to solve the Negro problem or the
Japanese problem in America is interesting, but it won't
go far with any parties actually involved until it shows
how it can achieve real results. In the first place, there
are too many aspects and underlying factors with which
the disinterested observer is necessarily unfamiliar.

We, for instance, have thought of the Japanese diffi-
culty on the Pacific Coast as one primarily agricultural
and social with some land ouTiership complications.
Now, however, our Seattle (Wash.) correspondent calls
attention to a situation in the florist trade of that city
in which Japanese competition constitutes a real menace.

The Japanese retailers there, it seems — if we can
apply such a term to itinerant vendors who hold down
street corners and, at most, occupy only temporary
stands and stalls — refuse to cooperate with the American
tradesmen, and to join their trade organizations. Per-
haps that in itself is a source of mutual satisfaction,
but it enables them to sidestep all business agreements
and understandings whereby price slashing and other
harmful practices can be prevented, and the "greatest
good of the greatest number'* promoted. Consequently,
the foreigners, with their lower standards of living and
their highly developed natural business acumen, offer
and sell large quantities of flowers at prices that the
regular trade cannot hope to meet — and that are actu-
ally lower than the public is able, willing and prepared
to pay.

Who is in the right? This is a free countrj'- and we
can hardly insist that ever^"- person who does business
shall become a member of a trade organization and
bind himself to do business under its restrictions — espe-
cialh' if he can see no reason for such rules. On the
other hand, any man entering a business such as that of
flower selling, has a right to expect an opportunity to
make his way equal to that enjoyed by any other indi-
vidual engaged in that business. And promiscuous, un-
regulated price slashing certainlj' constitutes an infringe-
ment upon such opportunity-.

Of course this situation is to some extent duplicated
in other cities and sections wherever "street boys" are
of more or less frequent occurrence. But the t^-pical
fakir has little of that tenacity' of purpose and patient,
ever increasing ability to acquire that characterizes the
Japanese.

Again, it may be said that at such a season as Easter
when, normalh'. the flower stocks are virtually ex-
hausted no matter what the prices asked, the deals con-
summated on the street corners have no serious effect
on the store trade. Easter, however, is an abnormal
period in the business, and it is at other times, when
profitable trading has to be bolstered up and nursed
along by everj- possible means, that underselling gets
in its deadly work. It is to prevent such unfortunate
contingencies that we must take note of the "trend of
the times" while they are j-et in their earliest stages.

Without getting hysterical or anything, or attributing
to the Japanese question more importance than it war-
rants, we believe that it should be looked squarely in
the face and fully, frankly and fearlessly discussed by
those who are familiar with it and have given thought
to it.

Double-Action Advertising

"It pays to advertise" — that's certain. But a very
important question is, how much does it pay in propor-
tion to what it costs? And another is, what sort of
available advertising pays best? The problem of trac-
ing sales to the ad that originally created the desire, or,
in other words, the problem of "keying advertisements"
and ascertaining the actual publicitj' cost per sale, is
one that every retailer should give careful attention to.

There are various ways of solving this problem in-
cluding the rather unique method hit upon by a Toledo
florist as described in the current newsletter from that
citA". The aim here was not only to stimulate business,
but also, at the same time, to discover how much of the
Easter trade was the actual result of that effort. The
newspaper ad in question stated that "a $1 Primrose
would be given free" with every order amounting to S3
or over, placed on or before Wednesday of Holy W"eek.
The result was threefold in that, first, increased trade
was attracted ; second, the usual Saturday and Sunday
rush was lessened by spreading some of it over the pre-
ceding days; and third, even.- buyer who came all
primed to receive the "free Primrose" was immediately
recognized as a product of the advertising. Inciden-

Healing With Oil

All worthwhile innovations must fight their way
the front — some get there sooner than others, but 1 1
heating by oil will get there, and in the verj* near futi i
too, cannot well be doubted. As time goes on and
stallations become simplified the process will make e ■
better progress than it is now making, but even at ■
time, installations for oil burning are going ahead
fast as they can be put in. A careful observer s
that he has become a crank on the use of oil because
knows too well what coal firing will do for greenho
men, be he owner or worker. For himself, he has i
more of it than he shall ever want to see again, and
further proclaims coal burning a most wasteful me
of producing steam for the heating of greenhouses,
in part to the inexperience of the average greenho
worker. "Many and many a greenhouse concern
gone to the wall on account of the boiler room prop'
tion," he says. "One of the latest installations of
burners is to be found in the State Almshouse in Te»
bury. Mass., an immense number of buildings hou;
about 3000 invalids and sick paupers, and almost
many officials and attendants."

Another installation noted w-as that of the new
reservoirs built close to the Patten greenhouses
Lowell. Mass., which stores the oil for the Massac
setts mills in Lowell, one of the greatest cotton mill:
this country. These tanks hold two and a half mill
gallons.

National Publicity Committee

A MEETING of the Publicit\' Committee of
S. A. F. and O. H. was held at the socle
administration offices, 43 W. 18th st., New Y(
on Thursday, March 17. There were present ; Chain
Henry Penn, Boston, Mass., J. Fred Ammann, Edwai
ville. '111.. George Asmus. Chicago. Ill, Secretarj' J
Young, New York, and Major P. F. O'Keefe, Bostoi

Mr. Asmus outlined the publicity work of the .^1
Florists Trade Association of Illinois, especially insc
as it related and contributed to the National Publi
Campaign. Concluding his remarks, he handed to
secretary a cheque for $1179.63, being 25 per cent of
total amount collected by the association for publi'
purposes during the month of December 1920.

Secretar\- Y^oung submitted a financial report for
months of January and February, showing receipts ir
all sources to haVe been $20,293.91. A supplement
report to March 17, showed additional receipts amoi
ing to $1844.63. The secretarj' was instructed to w
to all delinquent subscribers, urging that remittances
subscription guarantees be made promptly, so that
work of the campaign could be continued.

Mr. Ammann made a report covering his field w
in accord with the plan of organizing allied trade a;
ciations in every district, and declared his willingnesi '
devote his entire time to such work for a limited peri,
but pointed out that it would be impossible for him
assume the work on a permanent basis, or for an ind
nite period. He had in preparation, he said, a li
pamphlet embodying advice and suggestions as to 1:
to form these associations, copies of which would
distributed in localities where it seemed possible
organize.

Discussion of the plan showed that it was t!ie con;
sus of opinion that for the present, it would seem g'
policy to devote a portion of campaign funds avaih
to organization work, lending every assistance in fo
ing allied trade organizations, contributing the^ iie.
sar>' expenses of representatives who would go into
different districts to perform missionary service al'
the lines determined upon. Such action woiJd ' '
doubtedly result to the financial advantage of the C£
paign and promote the raising of a continuous iVfiA '
financing the National Publicity Campaign.

Mr. Asmus outlined a proposed plan to send ■'
.•\mmann on a trip to the West and Northwest, lo t
the trade in and around fifteen or more of the Ur!
cities in the interests of the campaign. Mr. Amraij
announced his readiness to start on such a tril(_scl
time after May 1. The project received the unanini'
approval of all present. Further particulars in reg
to this trip will be forthcoming later.

Major O'Keefe gave his views in regard to nt
questions as to practical ways of continuing the C<

Daffodil Disease

) PROPOS our recent reference to the ravages of
L the bulb mite among Daffodils and Narcissus, see
•^ page JSl, March 1~, we are interested in an article
paring in the Guernsey Weekly Press on the subject
I )af?odil scarcity, due in great part to disease which
; for some years kept increasing on that island. One
t.ver. owing to this disease, has written down the
jie of his stock by some $50,000 and it is estimated
i at least half a million dollars' worth of bulbs have
ti lost during the last few years in Guernsey alone.
'; disease is likewise rife in England and Holland,
r we have seen it stated that the trouble first became
[irent in the latter country.

■'hile Philip Garman of the Connecticut Agricultural
',< ege has diagnosed the disease affecting Narcissus
t| Lily bulbs which have passed through his hands as
1 , we must not neglect the fact that what appears to
ei similar (or the same disease) is recognized in
lope as due to eelworm. At all events, J. K. Rams-
Ora, and also a Hollander, devoted several years to
1 stigating the disease which threatened to wipe out
). odils, and both discovered that hot water was the
r effective remedy.

r. Ramsbottom, who acta for Geo. Monro, the great
.i,don wholesaler, carried out his work both in the
il ratory and in the Lincoln bulb fields and, we believe,
c Monro and White, two of the largest Lincoln
r.ers, fitted apparatus for treating millions of bulbs.
!j[. Wheadon & Son of Guernsey, have also installed
nipparatus, and it has been definitely proved that
■t ed bulbs are cured of the disease provided they are
l;.ed on clean ground. It would appear that these
11 '. growers are treating bulbs for those who cannot
li II the outfit, a fact that goes to prove that the big
li is willing to help his smaller confrere when the
It " is in urgent need.

my growers overseas have not yet realized the dan-
e Df this disease, although in England the comraer-
ic men are fully alive to the danger of bringing
O' ht in bulbs in contact with their own stocks. Dur-
1! the war period the disease made great headway
« g to inattention. One breeder, whose seedlings were
1 . class by themselves and whose stocks were valued
t.any thousands of dollars, lost his entire collection.
If /ork of half a lifetime, through the introduction of
u isease into his grounds by outside stocks.

; is not improbable that the Channel Island stocks
i'e influenced by the same cause. To meet the de-
la I of the Island authorities, the growers had to
it;r destroy many, or plant on top of their bulbs,
tl- crops which would provide food for the people,
t easy to realize, therefore, tjiat the bulb crops of
■i^'nsey and England suffered severely.

'le development of eelworm or mite among the Hol-
m crops, too, doubtless increased greatly during the
i-aperiod. The heavy manuring of the Holland bulb
el is well calculated to encourage the pest and, with
ne onstant interchange of stocks, the pest has been dis-
rilted far and wide.

(rtainly, the need for caution when buying Daffodils
ni Narcissi from Europe, is great. Whether bulbs
ut cted to the hot water treatment will force, we are
olible to say; they bloom well when planted in the
lel: and, if the soil is free from disease, the bulbs re-
na sound and healthy.

(nsidering the matter dispassionately, it would seem
enable that the bulb exporters of Europe should be
rdired to give a guarantee that their stocks are
«siy, otherwise the spread of the disease is certain
"1 g our gardens, while the forcer is in danger of
ni ig a large proportion of his bulbs either refusing
3 ow or yielding short stemmed, useless blooms, ac-
orng to the degree of infection.

I.e affected bulb is quickly discernible when it starts
rqmg, the foliage being streaked or distorted; badly
n>ed bulbs make practically no growth.

Don't Ask "George" to Do It All

We ask men who are interested in the future of flori-
culture, in its success and in implanting the love of
flowers and trees in the minds of the masses, to read
carefully our editorial "Let the Public Pay for Your
Advertising (page 802, April 2), after which we ask
them to come to the front and tell us of the possibili-
ties for the institution of Spring flower shows in their
respective localities in 1922.

Our suggestion is a plain, straightforward business
proposition ; it could be worked out in scores of places.
The idea calls for cooperation; cooperation is in the
air; all understand what it means and what it can do.
This being so, why not go ahead and do it?

Watch for this Worker

Our Boston newsletter writer deals with a new kind
of fraud who is preying upon members of the trade

doubtless feel doublv sore.

What Constitutes a Garden?

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

In your editorial of last week's issue, you sound a
note which it might be wise for the committee of large
flower shows to pay some attention to ; that is, the word-
ing in the schedule where it relates to garden displays.
To many people a garden is a quiet restful spot, and usu-
ally, the mind pictures a quiet enclosure where one could
sit and dream, away from the public gaze.

.^s one who was privileged to be one of the jurors,
of the garden displays, at the recent New York Flower
Show, I could not get away from the quiet dignity,
beauty, and whole atmosphere of the garden constructed
by the John Scheepers Inc.

Here we had a garden setting, that could be dupli-
cated almost anywhere, either as a Spring garden as
exhibited or, after the Spring flowers were gone, the
same setting would look equally as well as a Summer
garden. This garden showed also the trees and flowers
at almost maturity. The background of tall Cedars
might have been growing there for the past 30 or 40
years, also the hedge looked like it might have been
trimmed for many years.

Had the committee wanted to show how to lay out
the whole grounds around a suburban home, then the
layout of the F. R. Pierson Co. certainly would have
been all that was desired. This was a beautiful layout,
but did it really and truly constitute a garden? To my
mind, it was entirely too much in miniature. Then
again, the whole effect as exhibited, could not be repro-
duced at one time ; for instance Spring bulbs and
Hydrangeas would not be in flower together, neither
would the Rose Garden be in full flower at the same
time as the Spring bulbs and other Spring flowers, nor
would the Lilacs in the Rose Garden be in flower with
the Roses.

As the schedule read that a sweepstake was to be
awarded to the most adaptable, all these things had to
be taken into consideration as to what constitutes adap-
tability.

That the Pierson layout would appeal to the average
suburbanite I do not doubt, but to the larger estate
owner, any of the other three would appeal more.
Whether the committee had any one class of people in
mind, to whom they wanted this class to be especially
educative. I do not know.

That the first prize garden appealed much to my
employer, was evident by the fact that after viewing it,
he telephoned me that it was the most complete set-
ting he had ever seen, and that he wanted one exactly
like it reproduced here.

James L. Bellamy

An impressive military funeral was held in the State
.\rmory, Syracuse, N. Y., Sunday afternoon, March 20.

The body of James L. Bellamy of Company C, 103th
Infantry, N. Y. 37th Division, together with four of his
comrades who fell on the Hindenburg line, lay in state
with a guard of honor, from 6.30 a.m. Saturday until
alter the funeral services at ;i.30 p.m. Sunday, when the
bodies were removed on artillery caissons to the respec-
tive cemeteries where they were interred. A firing squad
attended. The deceased was exceedingly popular with
the officers and men of his company for his courage and
genial nature. He was the only son of Henry F. Bel-
lamy, of the firm of Bellamy Bros., florists, and was
associated with them at the time of his enlistment.

Edward Dunne

Edward Dunne, formerly a florist at Meriden, Conn.,
died March 17. in his 80th year. Mr. Dunne was born
in Ireland and came to America about 50 years ago.
He first settled in Hartford where he remained about
ten years. He then purchased the homestead at Wethers-
field where he lived for some years. Later he and his
family moved to Meriden. About five years ago, Mr.
Dunne retired from the floral business which was con-
ducted on Center st. and moved back to the old home-
stead at Wethersfield where he enjoyed his remaining
days.

He is survived by his widow, two daughters and two
sons. Judge Thos. P. Dunne of Meriden and Edward
Dunne of Wethersfield. He also leaves ten grandchil-
dren. The funeral was held March 19 from his late
home, and burial took place in St. Patrick's cemetery,
Hartford.

Israel Quint

It is our sad duty to report the unexpected passing
away of one of Boston's oldest and most respected
florists.

Israel Quint, of 125 Walnut ave., died at the Massa-
chusetts Hospital, Tuesday, March 29, after an illness of
only a few days. Mr. Quint, who had never had a sick
day in his life, was suddenly taken ill on Thursday,
March 24, and transferred to the hospital on March 26,
suffering from lobar-pneumonia.

Mr. Quint was born in Russia, May 15, 1863, and came
to America 35 years ago with his wife Annie, who sur-
vives him. Fourteen children, of whom eight sons and
three daughters are living, blessed their union. Imme-
diately upon his arrival in this country Mr. Quint en-
gaged in selling plants and flowers, peddling the same
from his wagon and doing a good business. Before long,
he conceived the idea of building a conservatory on
wheels, which could be heated in cold weather and which
had glass sides. The plan worked beautifully, and a
second wagon of the same pattern soon was needed, and
for many years these wagons could be seen on the streets
of Boston and in the surrounding towns. In later years,
he improved upon his wagons and built a perfect little
greenhouse upon the chassis of an automobile, so that
himself and his oldest son Harry were kept pretty busy
looking after their trade and tending the greenhouses,
which were built on Shawmut ave., for the purpose of
supplying the perambulating conservatories with plants
and flowers. In due time, more room was needed, and
the greenhouses were removed to their present location
at 125 Walnut ave. In connection with these green-
houses he also conducted a well kept store in front of
his residence.

Mr. Quint loved his work and his plants intensely.
He was of a quiet, amiable disposition, greatly attached
to his family, and a man of solid education, speaking
eight languages fluently. He was a close student and
critic of the Hebraic languages and arts; was a stock-
holder in the Boston Cooperative Market, belonged to
the Order of Foresters of America, and organized many
Hebrew and other charitable organizations, all of which
are still existing.

Mr. Quint leaves, beside his wife and eleven children,
one brother and one sister. Harry Quint, the oldest
son, is a well-known florist of Boston, having one store
on the corner of Boylston and Berkely sts. and another
on Dartmouth st. in the Victoria Hotel.

The funeral took place from Mr. Quint's late resi-
dence, 125 Walnut ave., on March 30, 2 p.m., and the
body was laid at rest in the family lot in the Congrega-
tion Adath Jeshurun Cemetery, Boston. G. Th.

The Rose Cut Flower Situation

(Concluded from page 831)
Looking Ahead

Let us look ahead for a short space: Montgomery
grew 3000 seedlings last year. From them, Priscilla, a
big, long-budded, pink Rose will be offered for 1922. He
has as many more seedlings on trial this year.

The E. G. Hill Co., the Jos. H. Hill Co., and Fred H.
Lemon & Co., all of the Hill family, are growing seed-
ling Roses in quantity. From them we look forward to
Angelus, a big, fine, white Rose for 1922. In Rotarian,
Miss Amelia Gude, and Freedom they have others of
promise. These were raised by Lemon. The E. G.
Hill Co.'s Rose, Hill's America, deserves the name. It
looks the part, and they are to be congratulated on it.
I understand that 1923 will see it in commerce.

Robert Scott & Son have a big pink seedling, Mrs.
Prentiss Nichols, to offer in 1922, and there may be
others to make their appearance, from all the tales we
hear of the beautiful light pink sports of Premier, the
rainbow-colored Ophelia sports, and the Columbia sports
of which there are legion, from pink to crimson in
color.

Thanks Quarantine 37

No, Quarantine 37, you haven't hurt the cut Rose
industry, and you have made the bedding Rose industry
greater. You have saved us from Dutch Roses on
Manetti and dog-briar, and have taught us to graft and
bud on Multiflora japonica. The foreign prices have
taught us to raise this excellent stock from seed and to
grow Manetti from cuttings. The lesson has been taken
seriously by American Rose lovers. They are proud
of America, and new American Roses will take the place
of what has been. Not only the cut flower grower and
buyer, but the American flower lover, can thank those
men who have given us what Europe could not, and
that is "American Roses for Americans."

Nursery Department

(^Continued from page 849)
automobiles or plants. The important question for the
man who sells the goods to consider is whether he will
help set the fashions and make them sensible and helpful
to the consumer as well as profitable to himself, or simply
trail along and do the best he can to meet the demands of
fashion after they have been established. The latter is
the easy road, but it rarely leads to real success or the
satisfaction that counts for a whole lot when one looks
back over one's accomplishments. Consider the costume
designer and the creative milliner of Paris or Fifth
ave. ; do they let the ladies who deal with them decide
what they shall wear? Not much. They design gowns,
wraps, toques and turbans — just a little different each
year — and make them fashionable, when society falls
over itself to buy what is most in "vogue" and up
to date.

Now does the nurseryman, as a rule, try to set the
style in plants, or does he not, all too often, just sit back,
tell what he has to offer and wait for someone to come
along and buy it? I'm afraid so. Yet there are fashions
in horticulture, and they might just as well be guided into
useful, sensible, profitable channels. This Spring, for
instance, Barberry is far more popular than Privet,
which a few years ago was the almost universal hedge
plant. Consequently, many nurserymen are finding them-
selves sold out and unable to take advantage of a con-
tinued demand for which they didn't prepare because
they didn't actively set out to create and foster it. Think
back to the time when Dutch bulbs were all the rage ;
recall the more or less fleeting popularity of one kind of
plant and then another ; and then ask yourself : Did I
definitely help to set that fashion, or did it just develop
of itself? Was it a sensible fashion, fitted to the soil
and founded on an appropriate garden scheme, or was
it forced, exotic and therefore temporary?

The real opportunity in this direction, it would seem,
consists of making fashionable those native, hardy ma-
terials that American nurserymen can grow well, in
quantity, and at a cost that will permit a fair profit as
well as an attractive price. This is a task for the nur-
serymen themselves in which they can and should enlist
the aid of horticultural writers, amateur journals and
also of those persons — especially women — who are inter-
ested in plants and who are continually building (or con-
templating the building of) gardens, and thus beautifying
country estates. Teach them to see the possibilities of
the native trees, shrubs and lesser plants; not only those
native to the country as a whole, but those native to their
immediate localities with their particular soil and cli-
matic conditions. Then, because the majority of people
will spend money for something that is well advertised
rather than grow it themselves, even though they can
do so with entire success, plant and grow these subjects
in large numbers, stimulate their use in large masses so
as to create big, sweeping effects, and thus have a hand
in the creating of fashions as well as in the division of
profits obtainable therefrom.

The Need tor Further Knowledge

Taking advantage of such an opportunity means some
hard work and study, however. It means study-
ing the possibilities and shortcomings, the peculiari-
ties and the preferences of local factors — soil con-
ditions, drainage conditions, climate, topography, prevail-
ing vrinds and all the rest. It means the study of large
scale production (preferably from seed) of these native
plants by such methods as will give vigorous, attractive
material that can be safely and easily moved. Such
knowledge is sometimes a characteristic of genius, as in
the case of John Dutweiler, whose obituary appeared^ in
the April 2 issue; it may come from careful observation
and continuous experimentation ; it mav to some extent,
be gained from others who have gone through the mill
of practical experience. Sometimes a method may be
truly a discovery ; again it may be the rediscovery of an
old-time theory, as in the case of the growing and mov-
ing of big shade trees which the Hicks establishment
has developed and perfected to such an extent, btit which,
nevertheless, was known and written about in "The
Planters Guide," by Sir Henry Stewart of Edinburgh
in 1828, and then forgotten or overlooked.

The search for such knowledge may lead us far afield,
but we should be ready to take and appreciate it whatever
the source. For example, just as some of the plants in-
troduced from China by Myers. Wilson and other horti-
cultural explorers may be called "native," in that they are
found amid surroundings that can be exactly duplicated
in this country, and just as they are proving admirably
adapted to our needs and uses, so some of the agricul-
tural and horticultural methods of the Chinese, the
Japanese and other foreign peoples, may be equally valu-
able and worthy of application in our nurseries and on
our country places.

There is no loss of dignity, no disgrace in acknowledg-
ing indebtedness for useful practices and knowledge to
their rightful source, be that source foreign, "heathen"
or what not ; and such acknowledgment can go far toward
creating happier international relations. China, India and
Asia generally are especially rich in the sort of informa-
tion that can help America, because they have for cen-
turies been confronted with the fundamental problem
that is now becoming more and more acute in this coun-
try, especially in and around its big cities. This is the
problem of "how to keep the population living well and
happily, though crowded." Moreover, this is especially
interesting to the nurseryman in that he is confronted
by the same problem in relation to plants — how to keep
them growing well though crowded together on high
priced land. In this connection, though as a sort of side
issue, it is worth suggesting to the American nursery fra-
ternity that it get actively behind the movement that has
for its object the sending and maintenance' of a great

scientific expedition in Asia. It is especially desirous
any such expedition should be just as well supplied i
botanists, agriculturists and horticulturists as with
nologists, geologists and students of sociolog>'. Alrt
horticultural contact has been made in many Far Eas
places by our eminently successful plant collectors; it
mains to discover, formulate and bring back for
use, the information, the practices, the detailed met!
by means of which we can make the most of the pro]
ing Asiatic plants that have come to us and that
being propagated; and such additional materials as,
the grace of Providence and the broadmindedness of
F. H. B., we may be able to bring in and multiply h
after.

New Methods and Their Results

Truly, the results of such work are likely to be notl-
less than revelations of new, grand possibilities in
nursery business. Here, in the nursery at Westb
alone, one finds blocks of Rhododendrons and Aza
(those beloved subjects which we have almost kisse
fond farewell) grown from seed and blossoming nii
in five years. Moreover they have withstood, outdo
such Winters as those of 1919 and 1920 without ha
At present there is much interest in the attempts i
under way to cross Rhododendron varieties and r;
from the hybrid seed equally hardy plants that will cc
true to a favored pink shade instead of the less popi
red and magenta to which a second hybrid general
might be expected to revert. Elsewhere there are J
mia and Leucothoes, also from seed and which,
rightly handled, will come into flower in the form
bushy, sturdy little plants in four years from sow:
Less advanced are experiments in seed production v
Asiatic introductions, notably a striking Japanese i
dromeda that has made good growth and is right r
heavily loaded with bloom, and a Chinese Azalea
Dahurica). Again, for the frequently — one might
most say, invariably — acid soils of Long Island, the
proved Blueberry has been proved well adapted, ;
scions from some of Prof. Coville's highly develo
types, budded on native Vaccinium stocks, have wit
two years produced tremendous crops of the gre:
improved fruit.

Of the commoner materials — Oaks, Pines, evergr
shrubs. Maples, Hickories and the like — many of wh
deserve increased attention and wider planting as rep
sentatives of the desirable native stocks mentioned abc
there are hundreds upon hundreds of specimens, five, t
IS, even 35 or more years from seed, many of them ill
trating the benefits of novel details of treatment si
as root pruning, checkerboard planting, the application
overhead irrigation, the careful adaptation of variety
soil type, etc.

Don't Lose Touch With Your Materials

There is another combined duty and opportunity befi
nurserymen in connection with the thought of contini
interest in the plantings for which they are responsil
Here again the nursery business is — or will be when
takes up the subject — simply trailing the leaders in otl
industries who have already found that it pays io i
service as well as goods, and service not for the ti
being only but for as long as it can mean anything to ■
client. Let a nurseryman make a practice of followi
up the plantings he is employed to supervise, and even i
stock he simply sells outright for others to plant ; let h
watch the development of this stock after it is sold
well as before ; let him inform the owner if special c
is needed or if the results of neglect are apparent;
him give assistance where actually needed, and the u!
mate effect will be an enhanced reputation for both n
terial and grower, greater satisfaction on the part of 1
customer, more effective results from the use of the stc
and, in consequence, its greater popularity, wider use a
more active sale.

Since the war years, in at least some of the distri
around New York and other large centers, the weali
estate owners have gone "on strike" as far as the buyi
and planting of large, time-saving trees and the plant!
of big blocks of effective shrubbery are concerned. It
up to the nurserymen to meet and overcome this tender
toward retrenchment in a field in which a year or 1
lost means much to both planter and nurseryman-grow
And he can do it partly by making the planting of b
native materials "fashionable," partly by showing he
also, it is a worthy and constructive fashion rather tli
a fruitless "fad," and partly by sticking by his work af
it is completed so as to create a continued interest a
appreciation in the use of fine nursery stock, as well
the temporary interest that accompanies the excitemi
and gratification of ordering, buying and planting.

' Mr. Patten practically retired from business a year
i- two ago and has now sold out his entire interests to
is youngest son, Harold J. Patten, who will carry on
e extensive business. Harold J. Patten is thoroughly
lalified to take his father's place as he has spent his
itire life under the care and teaching of his sire, has
id excellent business training at colleges and in the
leenhouses and is a well liked young man of sterling
Siaracter and a good mixer. He is one of the com-
aratively few young men who, possessing a love of
])wers, is willing and anxious to take upon himself
|eir care and responsibilities. Young men of this sort
je all too scarce at this time, although they are sorely
';eded for the benefit of floriculture in general.
I Marcellus Adams Patten was born in Lowell, Mass.,
ec. 4, 1849, and received his education in the schools
:' his native city, where he graduated from high school
i the class of '68. Coming from sturdy New England
[Ock and having an inborn love for growing things,
j; entered at once into the services of Wieland Broth-
js, florists on Harvard St., Cambridge, and from there
i> the veteran, and at that time most prominent, horti-
ilturist, W. C. Strong in Brighton. At both of these
aces he was bound to learn the florists' business, not
illy from the ground up, but also in the thorough and
;iinstaking, old-fashioned way, and there he had and
iied the chance to come in close contact with the fore-
! ost men in horticulture of his time. In 1870 he started
business for himself under the firm name of Patten
; Co., on West 4th St., Lowell. The venture was a
Uccess from the start and the business grew apace,
J;pecially after he opened a flower store in the heart
i the city, first on Central st. and later on Merrimac
After a lapse of 20 years, room for expansion of

'''<•■ rapidly growing business became unavailable, and
Mr. Patien started new greenhouses in a most favorable
location, a large and pleasantly situated tract of land
adjoining the railroad station in Tewksbury, Mass. Here
-Mr. Patten had all the opportunity in the world to
make his dreams come true and to build greenhouse
alter greenhouse according to the most modern ideas.
■And Air. Patten must be given credit for having taken
lull advantage of all his opportunities, for today his
place of over 50,000 sq. ft. of glass is considered second
to none in the State and is a model in construction con-
veniences and appearance. No neater looking or better
kept llorist establishment can be found. Here Mr
I attcn devoted himself almost entirely to the cultiva-
tion and improvement of his favorite flower, the Car-
nation, and from the start became noted as one of the
loremost enthusiasts and successful growers of the
divine flower. His Carnations achieved nationwide
recognition and when Mr. Patten exhibited them at
shows or conventions, the honors were always plentiful
and well merited There was nary a wrinkle in Car-
nation growing that he ever missed and hundreds of
visiting growers came away from his place with a wider
knowledge, for Mr. Patten was always willing and ready
to impart to his triends any knowledge he might have
gamed in his work. He gave each new introduction a
lair trial; all modes of treatment and feeding etc
were given a chance to prove themselves. Mr Patten
traveled far aiid wide, even to Europe, for the sake of
improving his knowledge and always was honored with
the close friendship of men like Peter Fisher, William
Nicholson Samuel Goddard, Fred. Dorner and many
others, well known to Carnation men.

He was elected president of the American Carnation
Society for the term of 1908-1909. He originated a
number of new varieties, not only of Carnations but
also of other plants, among which the Begonia Mrs.
i\l. A. Patten is a great acquisition. Thomas F Gal-
yin s store in Boston has drawn its supply of Carnations
from his place for the last 22 years. It is saying much
but It IS safe to say it, that there is not a man alive who
will not speak in the highest terms of Mr. Patten's
character or business dealings. His straightforward-
ness, sincerity and kindliness is appreciated and admired
by all who have come in contact with him.

In the last few years some considerable space in the
greenhouses was devoted to the growing of such crops
as Callas, California and Hybridum Adiantums and to
the growing of a superior strain of Mignonette seed
Ihe production and sale of Carnation cuttings has al-
ways been a great feature; the quality of Patten's cut-
tings IS known all over the land. Large shipments of
these cuttings have been made to parts of Europe.

Mr. Patten vyas married to Miss Susan Genevieve
Allen of Lowell m 1875. Of the two living sons Wil-
bur Allen Patten was born Sept. 5, 1879, and Harold T
Patten, May 27, 1884. Both grew up in the business
and both are married and have children.

Some few years ago Mr. Patten's health threatened
to fail and he bought a tract of over ten acres of estab-
lished Orange grove in the neighborhood of Lakeland
hla.., where he built a fine cottage and improved the
home grounds wonderfully with plantings of exotic
shrubs, palms, etc., so that the place now looks like a
little paradise and, besides bringing a good income rep-
resents a beautiful home where Mr. and Mrs Patten
can pass their remaining years in perfect contentment.
Iheir eldest son and his family also contemplate taking
up their residence in Florida in the near future Mr
Wilbur having passed successfully the civil service
examination and having qualified for a good Govern-
ment position connected with horticulture.

Mr. Patten has always been of a social nature. He
belongs to the following organizations: Charter mem-
ber Horticultural Club of Boston, life member Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society, life member Society of
American Florists, life member Florists' Club of Bos-
ton, life member Gardeners and Florists Cub of Bos-
ton, Pentucket Lodge of Masons, Knights of Pythias,
B. P. Order of Elks, The Mystic Circle, Council of
United Friends, Tewksbury Grange, Patrons of Hus-
bandry, No. 207, etc. He has also taken great interest
m the affairs of his home town, Tewksbury, and has
held high offices in this direction.

Harold J. Patten

Harold J. Patten, who is succeeding his father in
business, was a lively youngster from the start and,
while at school, became proficient in athletics and out-
door sports, always turning up among the leaders when
some hot battle was being fought. After completing his
high school and business college education, he entered
his father's business, working from the bottom up, and
in due time became very much interested in cross fer-
tilizing and hybridizing Carnations. He dropped the
schooltime sports and, as an outlet for his superabun-
dant energies, took up rifle shooting, building a rifle
range on the place. Here he would pepper away after
business hours or early in the morning. It was not
long before steady practice made of the young man a
crack rifleman and when in time he entered the Sixth

Harold J. Patten

Massachusetts l^ational Guard in 1906, his strict ob-
servation of the rules and his manly behavior resulted
in rapid promotion from corporal to captain of his com-
pany. His proficiency in rifle shooting made him a much
feared rival, and a long string of medals and a closet
filled with cups and other trophies tell of many victories.
In 1916 he served as captain in the National Guard
Reserve Ordnance Department, and during 1917 and up
to June 1918 as chief of ordnance at the State House.
On June 19, 1918, he was commissioned second lieu-
tenant in the U. S. Army and in August of the same
year first lieutenant, until discharged at the close of
the war in 1919. While in service with the National
Guard he participated in the campaign on the Mexican
border.

Since the cessation of hostilities Harold Patten has
again become a peaceful Carnation grower and plants-
man and the aforementioned energies are diligently
applied to keep up the standards of his Dad's extensive
establishment. The growing of fancy Carnations and
the production of A No. 1 cuttings will continue to be
the main feature, while the trying out and dissemination
of worthy new varieties are also to be carried on as
before. The greenhouses contain at present a large
and absolutely healthy stock of the new white Carna-
tion Thomas C. Joy, which valuable novelty is to be
given to the trade this year in conjunction with the
originators. The plants, growing in the benches since
last Fall, leave nothing to be desired in regard to habit
of growth and freedom of flowering. 'The flowers are
pure white, fringed, and possess exceptional shipping
and keeping qualities. Thomas C. Joy has all the ear-
marks of a winner and nobody need be surprised if it
excels Matchless in less than no time.

Ginkgo Receives Merited Tribute

"Japan's Ginkgo Tree Along Broadway" says the
heading of a newsnote in the New York Sun of April 5,
which reads as follows :

"The Ginkgo tree is to be a feature of the beautifica-
tion of the park strip in the center of Broadway, north
from Sixtieth St., New York City, according to Park
Commissioner Gallatin. This will not be the first ap-
pearance of the Ginkgo in this city.

" 'There are Ginkgo trees in Central Park, and in
Prospect Park, BrookljTi,' said an amateur naturalist,
'and I am not sure but that there is a specimen or two
in Bronx Park also. The Ginkgo tree comes from
Japan. It is very hardy and very beautiful, with its
heavy green foliage, Perhaps not many persons know
it when they see it, but those who have visited Japan
recognize it at once. Probably the Ginkgo trees in the
parks are so marked.' "

Perhaps the majority of laymen who do know it,
recognize the tree under its other name of Maidenhair
tree, which throughout the growing season, is wholly
appropriate. At any rate here is a chance for the nur-
seryman to strive for a more general knowledge of a
most worthy subject.

Thomas F. Galvin, Sr.

Who is now associated with his son Thomas F- Galvin, Jr. at
226 Devonshire St.. Boston

Thomas F. Galvin, Sr.. is now associated with his
son. Thomas F. Galvin. Jr.. in the retail florist business
at 226 Devonshire St.. Boston. In an announcement in
the daily press. Mr. Galvin says :

"Due to changed conditions in the florist business dur-
ing the past year. I have decided I can serve ray many
customers to better advantage from this central location,
in the heart of the wholesale flower district (226 Devon-
shire St.), which enables me at all times to obtain the
pick of the market and to sell the choicest flowers at a
distinct reduction."

Thomas F. Galvin. Sr.. is the son of the John Galvin
who started the first florist shop in Boston in 1847;
Thos. F., following his father in the business 40 years
ago. succeeded in building up one of the finest retail
flower shops in the city, and he has been considered in
the forefront of his line for ever so many years.

How "Slidertown" Vanished

The National Cash Register Co. of Dayton, O., de-
votes a great deal of attention to the welfare of its
workers and their families, strong in the belief such
makes for contentment and better work. The children
are especially weU cared for and, every Saturday morn-
ing, some 1500 children are given a two-hour enter-
tainment whereat not only amusement in the form
of movies, etc., is provided, but useful lectures, stimu-
lating and uplifting to the young mind, are a feature.
These lectures were started some three years ago and
are part of the educational system inaugurated by
the company over 25 years ago. Through these lec-
tures, the boys and girls are taught things that benefit
them mentally, moraUy, physically, financially and
socially.

In a word, the company apart from building good
machines, is also building up good citizens.

Many years ago the N. C. R. factory was located in
"Slidertown." This section was one of the worst parts
of Dayton. "Slidertown" boys and girls gave the com-
pany a great deal of trouble. They broke windows,
destroyed shrubbery, and did other damage to the
plant. Many people said they were bad children.
John H. Patterson, president of the company, could not
believe this. Instead of having them arrested, they
were given something to do to keep them out of mis-
chief.

The first real effective work was accomplished with
the little children. A public kindergarten was opened
for the boys and girls. Classes for the older boys and
girls were soon started. The girls were taught sew-
ing, embroidering and cooking. The boys were given
lessons in wood carving and clay modeling. Every
boy was given a garden of his own. The company
furnished land, tools, seeds and a competent instructor
to teach the lads how to raise vegetables. The ring-
leaders of the boys were put in charge, and the prob-
lem of the boys of "Slidertown" was solved. The good
done here soon spread to the homes.

Out of this experiment developed the Boys' Garden
Company. This organization is chartered under the
laws of Ohio. Officers and directors are elected, and
cash dividends are declared. The boy gardeners learn
how to work, how to be precise, to cooperate, to over-
come difficidties, and the value of a dollar. These great
lessons are valuable to them later in life, and make
them better citizens. "Slidertown" vanished, never to
return. It was replaced by South Park, the most
beautiful section of Dayton. The boys gardens were
so popular that, several years later, gardens for girls
were provided. These were likewise successful from
their start.

This educational work has helped the children, the
community and the company. The boys and girls have
exerted a strong influence in bettering conditions in
Dayton. The restdt has been happier homes, better
working and living conditions and good government.

This tmusual application of the Golden Rule has
benefited the company in many ways. N. C. R. em-
ployees are proud to be members of an organization
that is doing such splendid work. They know they
are helping make Dayton a better city. Then, too,
many of the workers of today first learned N. C. R.
principles through the educational work carried on
when they were children.

However, the greatest reward has come to the man
responsible for it all. Mr. Patterson has earned the
love and respect of his employees, feUow citizens, and
the little children. He has found the secret of real
happiness — that which comes from doing good to others.

Tulip Display at the New York Botanical Garden

Tulip lovers and others will be given a great oppor-
tunity, in the latter part of May, to inspect the largest
collection of Darwin and Breeder Tulips ever brought
together in one place in this country. Through coopera-
tion with the General Bulb Growers Society at Haar-
lem. Holland, a collection of over 17,500 bulbs, the gift
of that organization, was planted last Fall in the Horti-
cultural Gardens, located just opposite Fordham Hos-
pital on the Southern boulevard. This collection em-
braces 121 varieties of Darwin Tulips and 65 of
Breeder. Another collection at the same place, the gift
of John Scheepers, Inc., contains over 5400 bulbs, rep-
resenting 56 kinds of Darwin, 32 of Breeder, and 25 of
Cottage. In the two collections there are about 23,000
bulbs in 241 varieties; aIlo%ving for duplications, there
are: 140 varieties of Darwins; 73 of Breeder; 24 of
Cottage; of species, 2; miscellaneous, 2.

Another collection, more comprehensive in the types
represented, is located in the beds near the conservatory
range. Here there are over 9,800 bulbs in 167 kinds,
as follows; Darwin, 68; Breeder, 37; Cottage, 38; late
double, 2; early single, 8; early double, 8; Rembrandt,
3 ; Bizarre, 3.

The combined display at the Horticultural Gardens
and in the conservatory range court represents a total
of over 32,800 bulbs, and, allowing for duplication, 325
varieties.

Darwin, Breeder, Cottage and Rembrandt Tulips come
into bloom usually from the middle of May to the 1st
of June, depending on the variety and the season. These
types of Tulips are highly popular now, their soft col-
ors, taller habit, and usefulness for cut flowers giving
them prominence over the early types.

Many of our subscribers tell us The Florists' Ex-
CH-iiKGE is the best nursery trade paper published. We
have endeavored through all these years to cultivate
that trade and to prove that the florists and nursery-
men can cooperate to mutual advantage on a scale that
thousands of them do not, as yet, begin to realize. Often-
times it seems to us foolish to ask for contributions
on this, that, or the other subject for the reason that
everyone is seemingly so engaged in his own work that
relatively few find time to attempt to help their broth-
ers by imparting to them knowledge which he does
realize would be of benefit to them.

Still, we are credited with being persistent when once
we get an idea into our heads, and for that reason we
ask contributions from nurserymen containing material
information that is likely to prove helpful and enable
their coworkers to put money into their pockets, par-
ticularly through interesting the florists to the point
where they will see how greatly it is to their advantage
to rely for profits when theirs is the opportunity of
adding some nursery lines to their cut flower and plant
growing activities.

Our country abounds in opportunities, never so gre; ;}
as today, for the progressive florist and nurseryman wt i
will work on lines that will cause the people at larg
to grow more interested in seeing finer gardens an
more of them, through being made desirous of posses; ■
ing the same thing for themselves.

The Paper Shortage

\\'e are at last getting on the track of the culpr '
largely responsible for the paper shortage. It is not s
much due to profiteering as to the gray-green bore
that is devastating the Poplars and Aspens. Accordin
to oflicial reports, this borer is destroying native Fop
!ars and Aspens in a wholesale manner. A plantatio
of Aspens in Colorado is affected to the extent of ove
50 per cent, many of the trees being dead.

Every effort is being made to control the pest, whic
is most prevalent at altitudes between 6500ft. an
8000ft. Above 9000ft. it has not been found.

Swiss Flower Shows

By GEORGE CECIL

Thanks to the abundant and varied vegetatioi
throughout Switzerland, the annual flower shows whici
take place at different centers, both in the highland
and the lowlands, are as successful as any in the woric
and far more interesting than most. In the motmtai)
resorts, such as St. Moritz, Pontresina and other place
which average 6000ft. above sea level, the display cer
tainly includes specimens which do not grow in th
valleys ; but the lower slopes of the mountains and th
exquisitely verdant fields yield myriatls of wild flower
which possess all the charms a botanist could possibh
desire. Each exhibition is, in fact, fascinating and th"
most perfect of iis kind.

At St. Moritz. as at other centers, there is also ;
special prize for the best collection of flowers gatheret
within the boundaries of the commune. This exhibit i
a particularly interesting one, for some of the most de
lightful specimens in the whole of the Upper Engadini
are to be found there. Among these are the rare Gen-
tiana tentella, with white or violet corolla ; the Louse
wort, with yellow corolla; the Soldanella pusilla, ;
quaint little copper-red flower which thrives best neai
the snow ; the sweet smelling purple Gentian ; the Se
necio carniolicus, the stalk of which is covered witf
grey hairs; and. of course, the Edelweiss, which is no"
so difiicult to find as is generally imagined. There u
also the snow Gentian, the bright blue blossoms of whicf
make it as pretty a flower as any throughout the length
and breadth of Switzerland. In great demand, too, ii
the Nigritella angustifolia, which has an odor not un-
like that of vanilla; while the Alpen Rose, which, by thf
way, is not in the least like a Rose, is eagerly sought
after.

The exhibits, it may be added, are arranged upor
snovry white tablecloths, the overflow being relegated
to the beautifully polished parquet flooring of red
cembora wood. And if there is a very great run on the
available space, the walls are pressed into service, being:
decorated with certain surplus exhibits.

The extraordinar>' abundance of flowers in every
district where shows are held is due partly to the pride
which the Swiss take in the natural charms of their
country, and to the rules for the conservation of the
flowers, shrubs and creepers framed by the "Kuverein"
in each town and townlet. No specimen, for example,
may be picked in large quanjities ; and if any destruc-
tively inclined tourist is caught picking flowers merely
to throw them away, or wantonly knocking their heads
off with his alpenstock, he will be fined by the com-
munal authorities. As to pulling up plants by the
roots, the offense is considered a most heinous one; and
should any person who has 'transgressed in this direction
be detected, condign punishment is sure to follow.

Some of the wild flowers exhibited at these shows
grow at a height of 13,000ft., and in rocky ground
where even moss cannot thrive. The Valley flowers,
however, among which is the sweet scented "Alpenveil-
chen" (Alpine Violet) are to be met with only a very
short way up the mountain side. The last named fig-
ures largely at the shows which take place but a few
hundred feet above sea level; and if they are exhibited
some 2000ft. or 3000ft. higher up, the odds are that the
fragrant posey has been gathered at an altitude of not
more than 2000ft.. packed in wet moss, passed over to
the guard of the mountain railway train, and despatched
on its upward journey.

The Swiss flower show never lasts more than one
day it being found that in a land of flowers a single
afternoon is as much as active, outdoor visitors and
residents care to devote to the spectacle. And when it
is borne in mind that both the Swiss and the average
tourist prefer to see flowers set in natural surroundings,
the decision scarcely comes as a surprise. To the older
people, whose walking days are over, the show is one
long joy. And the children, of course, delight in it

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

t It True ?

I am interested in a statement made by
writer in the trade press. Among hia
rders, he Imd one request which read, "I
ant seeds that have been saved at home,
I'cauae those from California are so liable
. the streak." While I have myself at
uriotiB times suffered niuch loss through
:reak disease, I have never been con-
inced that California seed was more
rone to it than any other. True, the
rst attack of streak I experienced, oc-
jrred in a California grown novelty, but
-om that time on, the disease was no
.■spcctor of varieties nor where they
ailed from.

Ustlc Soil

Acoor(iing to a recent aunouncement.
If U. S. Dept. of Agriculture experts
»ve found in the soil a hitherto unknown
ihstancc which has been designated as
, tra-clay, a gelatine-like substance, very
,icky ami phtstic when wet, but in the
; y stale having the appearance of resin.
[ appears to be a silicate of alumina
^ith traces of potassium and other salts,
his ultra-clay is believed to be the

iucipal factor in making the soil plas-
cr, but when added to loose sand to the
';tont of 10 per cent and dried in the

rm of bricks, it gives the sand a crush-

; i; strength greater than an equal amount

Portland cement. When moistened,

iwever, the bricks crumble to pieces. All

is is interesting and the discovery may

■ of benefit to those connected with
,e concrete industry, but in reality I am

mdering whether someone has made a
scovery which was known to the an-
'iits. I am no soil chemist, but twenty
more years ago I heard a lecturer
scribe what he called essence of clay, a
■itinous soluble silcia that made what

■ termed' clay soil.

'F. H. King, in his little manual on "The
lil," published in 1895, discusses the
^estiou of plasticity of heavy soils in
Imid regions, but whether the soluble
j.ica was united with almnina to form
blinite or true clay is, he_ says, un-
] ^^vn. Possibly the nresent discovery is
! advance on previous knowledge, but
iia fairly evident that old time workers
tre familiar with a substance that made
p I plastic.

\ len Cooperation Fails

Ve have on more than one occasion
C 'd instances where cooperation has
f. ed when agricultural producers have
fi ght to cut out the middleman by co-
c vative buying and selling. Reports
S :e that the farmers of Iowa, Kansas
a . Nebraska have been running coopera-
t ! stores, but the expected benefits have
n materialized. In Iowa, the Farmers
I on Exchange, a wholesale house, is in
t hands of the receiver, leaving the
8 :es it supplied, without goods. In
f asas affairs are unsatisfactory, while
iiN'ebraska the farmers are being urged
n to try the cooperative store game.
T en it comes to buying seeds, fertilizers,
e , I guess it pays in the long run to
s\k to the open competitive market.

I it Possible?

jlf the modern Dahlia were as well
k;,wn and advertised as the Rose no
fl'er could compare with it in popu-
1e ty, and the lives of millions would be
irle happier thereby." — E. L. Kungman,
jiTfte Seed World. There's nothing like
b'lg an optimist, but if the Dahlia is
b'Sted from now to the millenium the
Ke will still remain Queen for the sim-
p reason that it is the Rose. The
Dilia has advanced, and may advance;
tl -e are now many types and there may
bfnany more in the future, but for all
tr -., the genus Rosacse is so vast, its pos-
si lities so great, that it ia idle to even
trk that any flower can supplant it in
th affections of the people. Enthusiasm
10 any kind of flower ia permissible and
^' thy of encouragement; it may even
dt^lop into "crankism" among many, but
the is nothing artificial about the hu-
mj love for Roses. Its history ia too
dei seated and its appeal too strong to

permit any other modernized Hower to
depose it.

Thin writer hii.s lived to hop marvelnud
advances made am.>tig uiehids. Sweet Pean,
Carnations, Daftudils, Peonies. Delphin-
iums, Dahlias, and >»o forth, hut he is
wise enuugli to realize that these have
not affected the popuhirity of the Rose
one iota; indeed, the Rose is a greater
power in this land than ever before. And
what applies here, applies with even
greater force on the other siiU* of the
Atlantic. Any traveler will admit that.

What Does This Mean?

According to Unhert H. Garrahan, u
^voil known Tennsylvania vegetable grow-
er, the farmers of Luzern Co., Pa., have
e.Kpez'ienced au annual loss of 25 to ^0
per cent in the production of late Cabbage,
due to their inability to get seed adapted
to the local conditions. In the effort to
correct the trouble, the Farm Bureau last
year obtained samples of Cabbage seed
from all the most notable centers, includ-
ing Denmark, and carefully selected the
types most desirable. Further tests will
be made, and next season seed of the
finest selections will be distributed
among the growers at cost.

After reading these statements, three
queries arise in my mind: What were
the seedsmen doing all these years in ig-
noring the call for a suitable strain?
Why did not one or more of the growers

handling. That would reflect upon men
who have, in the past, been sueceHsfuI.
The mere fact that forcera have in the
past produced good Htock in suUicient proof
that they have studied the subject suf-
ficiently well, at least, as well as any who
produce Carnations, Roses, etc. If, as
this RoaHon, something goes wrong despite
the usual handling, it is not logical to
%rKuc that lack of some procedure not
hitherto adopted, is the exiilanation. We
know that all Tulips appear above ground
in the open about the same time; if any-
thing, the late sorts are up sooner than
the earlies. Foi- this reason, in Eng-
land, November is the favored time for
planting Darwins as when planted earlier,
or left in tlie ground without lifting, they
are jjrone to appear as early as Decem-
ber and, if the weather continues mild,
as it has this season, and sliarp frosts oc-
cur in March or April, "fire" disease is
usually prevalent. I would not say it ia
logical to deduce that Darwin Tulips are
influenced into lateness through light or the
lack of it. The conditions outdoors are
natural. We may take hundreds of
species of which there are many varieties,
including Roses, Peonies, Delphiniums,
Phlox, etc. etc. Some of the varieties are
naturally later than others; it is an inher-
ent character just as it is inherent for
one child in a family to grow faster than
another. Among plants we select to that
end. Late Tulips, like the earlies, have

set about developing the right strain years
ago? What steps were taken by the Farm
Bureau to ensure that not one of the
many strains tried last year, became
mixed with another' Seems to me that the
only way to develop the right type is to
work it up from single plant cultures,
each of tliem netted at flowering time.
The entire Cabbage family is so easily
mixed that experienced seed growers
thereof never have one type or strain near
another.

Sweet Potato Syrup

The U. S. chemists are still looking for
sugar producing plants. We have heard
of sugar from Statice and sugar from
Dahlias; now it is syrup from Sweet Po-
tatoes. A factory has been erected at
Fitzgerald, Ga., where Sweet Potato syrup
is to be manufactured. The syrup is said
to equal the best cane product.

All these experiments are to the good,
perhaps, but the average man will be more
impressed if the new products influence
the price of the old. Offhand, one haz-
ards that the only rival to the Sugar Cane
is the Sugar Beet, and it is pretty certain
that the Sweet Potato and Dahlia never
will, on a given area, upset the Sugar
Beet as a producer.

Light

I was interested in H. Langeler's views
in relation to the possibilities of light and
its influence upon bulbous flowers. We
must not, however, assume that because
forcers had some failures this season, that
these were due to faulty culture or mis-

been bred from species; no one knows
from what, where, and when. We only
know they exist, and have been improved
or increased in later years, but we may
assume they came from parents which had
the factors for lateness. Light undoubt-
edly does play a big part, but light will
not help if heat and moisture are absent.
According to scientific reasoning in the
past, plants and flowers do not grow
or draw toward the light; the growth
is on the shaded side, resulting in the
pushing over of the stems toward the
light. Nor is it logical to say that plants
draw up in exhibitions where artificial
light is used late. The growth so made is
of a weakly nature, and it is due to the
plant reaching out for, or being cut off
from its normal supply of daylight. The
usual effect of cutting off daylight from a
plant that has had its full share, is the
casting of foliage. Light does not
actually encourage growth, rather it sta-
bilizes it and makes a plant sturdy and
strong. The forcer keeps his Tulips, Val-
ley, etc., in semi-darkness to draw them
up and so ensure good stems; we put a
barrel around our Rhubarb in early
Spring to encourage growth by cutting off
the light. Potato "cranks" box their seed
Potatoes and keep them in the light to
prevent them from making long spindly
sprouts. Kept in darkness, the tubera
start earlier and grow more quickly. More-
over, if kept in darkness, the tubers will,
to save themselves from extinction, start
making young tubers without the aid of
foliage. I would hesitate to argue that
because plants accept and thrive in the

artifiiial heat they will do the same uu-
<ier uriiHcial light. The two are not one
and the same thing.

So far as using colored lights is con-
cerned I believe Kew tried this years ago
with varied results, red, I believe, being
most harmful.

Shows and Advertising

The editorial on "Let the Public Pay
for Your Advertising," is both logical
and possible, because, by paying to see
a flower show the public is really aiding
the advertising of plants and flowers. But
when it is suggested that the profits of a
show should, in part, be used for local
advertising to promote the welfare of the
floral industry, one has serious doubts. It
is freely conceded that to make a suc-
cessful show, the promoters must enlist the
assistance of influential society people,
professional gardeners and amateurs. That
being so, no committee would dare to ear-
mark part of the profits for advertising
or anything connected with trade sales.
If it did, the amateur element would im-
mediately rear up. Shows can only bene-
fit the trade indirectly; if run for the di-
rect benefit of the trade, public interest
will be lacking.

[Apart from charity shows, exhibition
promoters have not been known to adver-
tise the use to which they intend to put
their profits. — Ed.]

Street Florists Not Wanted

Springfield, Mass., Chamber of Com-
merce is out to drive trick jewelers, ja;^z
music salesmen and florists of the curb-
stone order off the earth, or at least, out
of Springfield. The florists of the Cham-
ber desire to eliminate the sellers of ar-
tificial and other flowers on the curbstone.
The only truble is that a confirmed street
merchant is not scared by any protests.
So long as he can obtain any goods to
sell, so long will he find people to buy.
When one line is unavailable he
takes another. If no flowers are going
cheaply, there will be no curbstone florists.
The remedy is obvious.

Tlie Agapanthns

From the catalog of Luther Bur-
bank one learns that, until quite lately,
only a small blue Agapanthus was known.
Further, he offers seed for the first time
of a new gigantic pure white variety
bearing immense heads of snow
white flowers on stems nearly 4ft. high.
Wonderful news, this, considering the
fact that the white Agapanthus was known
as far back as 1880. As for the small
flowered blue, I have oftentimes watered
tub plants which had tall stems carrying
trusses six or more inches across.

Seeds as Disease Carriers

Prof. C. R. Orton of the Penn. State
College in a recent lecture before the
Penn. State Horticultural Society, dis-
cussed the above subject to some length
and, according to his analysis, parasites
among vegetable crops are on the in-
crease. Ainong the reasons for this, he
says, "is the failure of the seedsmen and
plant breeders to recognize the seed as
being the agent in transmitting many of
the most serious parasites, resulting in a de-
plorable condition." This is a pretty sweep-
ing statement and the average individual
might accept is as gospel. Some of the
scientific people, like some of the plant
breeders are inclined to delude themselves
that they alone are making progress. For
more years than I can remember, upto-
date seed growers have knovm that Cel-
ery and Tomato seed carry disease and,
for this reason, not a few have guaranteed
their seed disease free. Moreover, great
nmnbers of greenhouse Tomato growers,
especially in Europe, have long known
the failings of ordinary seed stock and,
for this reason, have selected and saved
their own. Plenty of indoor growers in
this coxmtry, also, save seed from their
outdoor crops. As for disease free seed
of Cabbage, Beans, etc., not forgetting
seed Potatoes, well — those who have de-
veloped any reputation at all, certainly
don't need any knocks. If there is any
real truth in the statement that diseases
are more prevalent, it is more probably
due to the fact that so many growers
consider price before anything else when
they buy their seeds. Choice high bred,
clean and pure seed cannot be produced
cheaply and the sooner growers get down
to the fact the better.

Peter Kellen Woke Up
With A Jolt

Peter Kellen of Niles Cen-
ter, Illinois, woke up the other
day to the fact that he had
been giving away a lot of his
profits to one man and divid-
ing them with two others.

He used to hand water in
his greenhouses. Took all the
time of one man. and a good
part of the time of two more.
Having those men standing
around just letting water run
out of a hose got on his nerves.
So, he put in a Skinner Sys-
tem of watering, and at once,
did away entirely with one man

and cut the time of the other
two so much that in three
months time, it has paid for
itself.

Things like this are not just
advertising talk. They are cold,
indisputable facts, of which we
have literally bushels to show
you.

Let's do some figuring, you
and I. Tell us the size of your
houses; the number and time
of the men it takes to do your
watering; and we will send you
some money saving facts that
are going to make your eyes
pop out.

Trade Terms

This subject has been discussed to no
small extent during the past few years
wherever nurserymen and allied trades
have gathered together. The Horticul-
tural Trades Association of Great Britain
recently drew up a rigid set of rules re-
garding the subject which, when put to
the vote, were unanimously agreed upon.
We give the resolutions herewith:

(1) "The definition of a Nurseryman
(or Nursery Firm) shall be a grower (or
growers) of trees, shrubs or ornamental
plants for sale as a regular business. Only
such persons shall be entitled to Trade
Terms. Fruit growers and market garden-
era as such; jobbing gardeners and trad-
ing amateurs are specifically excluded.

(2) "The definition of a Seedsman (or
Seed Firm) shall be one that stocks seeds
in bulk and variety for sale as a regular
business. Miscellaneous traders selling

proprietary packets of seeds are specifi-
cally excluded.

(3) "Nurserymen, Seedsmen and Flo-
rists who are buyers of plants or bulbs
for re-sale shall be entitled to Trade Terms
for these goods.

(4) "Jobbing gardeners buying for re-
sale, shall be entitled to a discount not
exceeding 15 per cent."

; Reader Interest versus Distribution

' It is customary for many of the big
national magazines to take the number of
copies printed, multiply that figure by the
number of people in a family reading
the paper and claim the total as reader
circulation. This, however, does not
change the fact that in the majority of
cases there is but one subscriber to a
family.

The Exchange, however, is placed on
a different basis, by at least one family,
that of C. B. McLaughlin, CoUingswood,
N. J., who, when sending in hia subscrip-
tion, wrote: "Father and son cannot read
the paper at the same time." [Now, both
men are subscribers.]

This keenness to absorb the contents of
The Exchaxge is the biggest asset a
paper can possess. Advertisers today are
more interested in the number of readers
than in the number of subscribers. The
reason for their interest is clear.

The Market

Apr. 5. — ^The situation in the whole-
sale cut flower market this week may be
summed up in this statement: The ar-
rivals of flowers are far larger than the
demand absorbs, even at the present
greatly reduced prices. Whether the de-
mand will increase during the closing
days of the week and prices become firmer
or whether a continued limited demand
will force prices down to a lower level
remains to be seen. We are inclined to
think that few wholesalers are making
bets on the optimistic side of this prob-
lem.

American Beauty Roses are meeting
with a limited demand, specials bringing
20c. to 50c. each; other grades selling at
corresponding prices. Of other Roses, the
large supply is moving slowly, top grades
bringing from 5c. to 12c. each in general,
Hadley realizing 25c. and Key 50c., No.
2 grade blooms are selling at ?2 to ?3 a
100.

The demand for the largely increased
supply of Carnations is slow. Select
grade blooms are selling at §3 to $4 and
occasionally $5 a 100; ordinaries at $2
to S2.50.

There has been a fairly good demand
this week for Cattleyas of good quality,
the variety Schrceder® is bringing 30c. to
35c. each, and the few remaining
Trianae 75c. to $1 each; the variety
mossiffi touches $1.25 to $1.50. The ex-
tremely large supply of Gardenias is
bringing 50c. to $3 per doz. Lily of the
Valley and longiflorum Lilies are meeting
with a limited demand at $1.50 to $6
a 100 for the former and $8 to $12 for
the latter, with occasional sales at $15,

The supply of bulbous flowers though
more than sufficient for the demand, is not
increasing except in the case of Darwin
Tulips. Callas are moving out slowly at
$1 to $2 a doz.; Freesia at 15c. to 25c. a
bunch. Daffodils at 35c. to 75c. a bunch,
and Tulips at 25c. to $1, the higher fig-
ure including the price of Darwins.

In miscellaneous flowers, Antirrhinum
is the leader, the supply of blooms of ex-
cellent quality being enormous and prices
down to 25e. to $1 a bunch. There is
a medium supply of Calendula, a
large supply of Yellow Daisies, a
diminished supply of Mignonette and
Jlyosotis; an abundance of Pansies, a
moderate supply of double Stocks, and ex-
tremely large arrivals of Sweet Peas of
fine quality. The arrivals of double and
single Violets are abundant and we note
a few bunches of Wallflowers. All of
these miscellaneous flowers are moving
out slowly at quoted prices.

As regards greens, the arrivals of South-
ern Smilax in addition to the domestic,
are way above the present limited de-
mand. All other greens are feeling the
effect of the present general depression
in the wholesale cut flower market.

News Notes

The regular meeting of the Florists Club
will be held on Monday, April 11, at 7.30
p.m., in the Engineering Societies' Build-
ing, 25-33 West 39th st.

The Exhibition Committee will welcome
exhibits of novelties or any seasonable
flowers or plants. Exhibits should be ad-
dressed to Isadore Fight, chairman, care
of Roman J. Irwin, 43 W. 18th St., and
should be sent in time to reach him not
later than 5 p.m. the day of the meeting.
So that arrangements may be made to
stage the exliibits properly in the meeting
room. Growers, especially' introducers
of novelties, should take advantage of this
opportunity to display novelties in plants
or cut flowers; it will pay them to make
the exhibit.

New Jersey Night

President I. S. Hendrickson has ap-
pointed a committee consisting of Jos.
Manda, A. M. Henshaw, Arthur Herring-
ton, Wm. C. Duckham, Julius Roehrs,
Fred L. Atkins, J. H. Fiesser, Philip Cox
and Edw. Sceery to provide ways and
means of securing attendance on this night
of all florists and representatives of Al-
lied trades from New Jersey that are in
the vicinity of New York City. To help
along the good cause. President Hendrick-
son makes the following offer: To the mem-
ber presenting the largest number of new
members from New Jersey on New Jersey
Night, first prize, $20 worth; second prize,
$10 worth; third prize, $5 worth of Peoay
roots. To the member presenting the larg-
est number the entire year of 1921, first
prize, $50 worth; second prize, $20 worth
of Peony roots.

Eighth International Flower Show and
Annual Club Dinner

The preliminary financial report
will be submitted by Chas. H. Totty,
chairman of the club's Flower Show Com-
mittee, and Roman J. Irwin, chairman
of the dinner conunittee will report on
the annual dinner and dance.

Essay and Lecture Committee

This committee has arranged with
L. D. Fernald, advertising manager of
the New York Evening Post to give a talk
on newspaper advertising at this meet-
ing. The selection of this subject was sug-
gested by the recent launching of the local
newspaper advertising campaign of the
Allied Florists' Trade Association of New
York. It is hoped that a good attendance
will be present to hear Mr. Fernald, es-
pecially of the retail fiorists, as this
branch of the trade is most interested in
newspaper advertising.

Allied Trade Association Advertising;

Advertising was resumed last week
in the New York papers by the Advertis-
ing Committee of the Allied Trade Asso-
ciation. On Friday advertisements ap-
peared in six New York papers and one
Brooklyn paper, suggesting to the flower
buying public, that if any friends had
been forgotten at Easter time, that now
would be an appropriate time to "Say it
with Flowers."

Mr. Henshaw, who is secretary and
treasurer of the Growers Association, is
pleased to report that cheques from grow-
ers are freouent occurrejw^p but as presi-
dent of the Allied Association, he re-
grets to report that uptodate, there is
no sign of participation by either the re-
tail florists or the plant growers. All
other branches of the trade are doing
their bit.

Mr. Traendlj', president of the Whole-
sale Protective Association, has called a
meeting for Friday afternoon, to which all
wholesalers have been invited, and at this
meeting measures will be considered for
the adoption of collections for the ad-
vertisement fund on a percentage basis.

There was a meeting on Thursday last
of the chairmen of the Allied Florists
Trades Association of New York.

That Perplexing Question — The
National Tree

Semi-Humorous Newspaper Comment
on a Timely Topic

The National Forestry Association
which is taking a referendum on the ques-
tion, appealed to President Wilson for his
views on the selection of a "national tree."

The President replied:

"Speaking for myself I find that I am
quite unable to choose among the infinite
variety and richness of • American for-
ests."

The Brooklyn Eagle, commenting, says
it understands the embarrassment. Ajid
then proceeds to explain thus:

The Oak is preempted by England. No
one pines for the Pine which is gloomy
even in sunshine. The Apple hints too
strongly of original sin and the Eden that
is no longer ours. The Cherry has too
many bounce suggestions about it for a
prohibition land. The Spruce, once dear
to gum chewers, has no backers now. The
Locust would have only police support.
The Chestnut has been rendered obnox-
ious by a horde of after-dinner speakers.
The Redwood in size and color brings up
the picture of Soviet Russia, though it is
capable of polish as the Soviets are not.
And if there are cynics who are wearied
by modern philosophy and would sustain
the claims of the Hemlock which poisoned
Socrates, they are not numerous enough
to count. Americans generally are not
cynical.

But to ex-President Wilson, as an ex-
schoolmaster, the Birch must really have
had the strongest appeal. True, synthetic
processes have made the tree obsolete as a
source of birch beer, and canoes are no
longer made of its bark as the Indians
made them. But in an age when most of
the leather has been taken up for straps
in street cars the disciplinary uses of the
Birch are apparent. Properly applied in
infancy, it guarantees the peaceful and
orderly life for adults. In New England
it has always been regarded as the great-
est civilizing influence on earth. Why
not the Birch for a national tree? The
idea ought to make a hit. We hope it
will.

To forestall oiir gloomy uplifters who
may be committed to the weeping Willow,
we suggest the Magnolia — ever green and
as enduring as the rock of ages. — Motit-^

An Amateur's Outcry Against i
Modern Tendencies

Under the above caption, a writer in Th
Garden, (British), has some interesting re
marks regarding the development of th i
Delphinium which, he declares, is being mad i
more of a purple or muddy mauve rathe
than true blue, such as the Delphiniun
should be. His concluding paragraph oi
prices, too, show the trend of thought in th'
minds of uptodate amatem-s who oftentime
feel that commercialism is a handicap rathe
than an aid to horticultural development
On the subject of novelties he writes:

"And one other word I should dare to sa;
to that magician (the plant raiser). Do no
let your glorious and beneficent trade be
come degraded by the introduction of pre
posterously high prices for 'novelties.
Preserve if you possibly can that fine tradi
tion which has done so much to keep snob
bery out of gardening, the tradition whici
still, happily, makes it 'bad form' to cborg'
more than 10s. 6d. for a new Rose. Thi
Narcissus has long fallen a victim to tha
unhappy passion for possessing what other '
cannot afford to buy; the Iris is now be ,
ginning to .suffer from the same objectionabli i
malady. Presumbly there will always b j
rich people, in America, if not at home whi
will be prepared to pay £5 for Iris A, no
just because it is a noble thing, but sirapl;
because it is more costly than Iris B fron
across the Channel, and because, for tha
reason, so-and-so will not possess it. Thep '
is, I am afraid, no economic law which wil •
prevent the spread of this disease among thi
Delphiniums and Paeonies; nothing but ai
honourable tradition. But it is that tradif
tion which has helped to make gardener
such pleasant, generous people."

Hudson, N. Y. — Grover C. Neibergal
of the Forest Flower Shop has purchasec
a portion of the Cody place, just over thi
city line in Greenport, and will erect i:
greenhouse thereon to supply his cit;
trade. The contract has already been le '
to the King Construction Co., which firn
will soon begin work on a most mode n
steel framed greenhouse, to be finished b;
June 1.

Laurel Hill, N. Y. — Miss Sarah J
Bates, who for 30 years has conducted i
flower business here, has brought gui
against the Nichols Copper Co., lo
$100,000 damages to her property aD(
business by gas and other discharges fron
the copper plant.

Hiss Bates is one of the pioneers o I
Laurel Hill, having started a farm no'
greenhouse 30 years ago with her brothet
Thomas J. Bates, Jr., from which tlie;
derived an income of from $10,000 t
$12,000 annually. Notwithstanding tli'
many payments the company has nadc tt
her for damages to her business, Mi^'
Bates is asking for the restraint of th'
copper company from the further use o
its plant and its removal.

Rental Values— Who Will Answer ?

I intend advertising my entire range for
sale or lease in th.e near future. Before
I do this, however, I would like to as-
certain from readers of The Exchange
about what rent I would be entitled to
ask for an iron frame, uptodate Lord &
Burnham house 50ft. x 200ft.

If one or more of your readers will
answer this question I will be much
obliged and this will then give me a line
as to how much to ask for my entire es-

Tlie Market

April 5. — A week of warm sunshine
following the Easter demand, brought
flowers into bloom in such quantities that
a period of general inactivity has pre-
vailed.

With the increased production there
came also a notable faling off in demand.
i?he business of cut flower merchandising
is beset with many difficulties as there is
more often either an over supply or
a shortage than there is a period when
the supply and demand will strike a bal-
ance.

The over suply of the past week, which
still continues, is probably larger than
at any other similar period in past years.
It is only by offering big lots at bargain
prices that much of the stock is moved.
The department stores, drug stores and
street fakirs have taken advantage of the
glut. Flowers are offered everywhere
about the city at sacrifice prices. Whole-
salers are working every possible scheme
to keep the stock moving so that one
day's supply will not catch up with the
other. At the same time, little do the
retailers bestir themselves to aid in the
distribution of the stock. Some complain
of the department store sales, and up-
braid the wholesalers for letting stock
get into such channels. They buy only as
their demand requires adhere to satisfac-
tory prices, and offer no special bargains
to the public. These conditions existed
before and will continue until the inex-
orable will of the retailer is bent by some
influential force that has as yet not hove
in sight.

In Roses there is a wide range of va-
rieties offered, all of excellent quality.
Premier, Mrs. Russell and Colimibia are
seen at their best. Good tight stock in
the better grades for shipping command a
reasonable price; it is the open stock re-
gardless of grade that is offered in bar-
gain lots.

The Carnation supply is the heaviest
of the year at the present time. There is
good stock, too, some of which has been
sold as low as one cent each. The very
fancy stock is not bringing more than $3
to S4 per 100.

Bulb stock is still plentiful, but the
crest of the season has passed. AH the
greenhouse grown stock went out with the
Easter rush. The stock is mostly from
outdoors or grown naturally in frames
without forcing. There are some fine Dar-
win Tulips; these will be with us longer.
It is the earlier flowering varieties that
have passed.

There are many Easter Lilies and a
supply of Callas far too large for the de-
mand. Snapdragons are coming in, all of
which are of fine quality. The colored
Freesias are the most pronounced novelty
on the market at the present. Sweet Peas
are plentiful and of fine quality; also
there is an abundance of Valley and
Cattleyas. Gardenias are offered cheaply
on accoimt of the big supply. Violets are
all gone; the warm sunshine put all crops
to the bad. Mignonette, Pansies, Daisies,
Forgetmenots, Wallflowers and the first
outdoor grown Lilacs are offered. The
stock of fancy ferns in storage is gradu-
ally on the down grade, and wholesalers
are trying to replenish sufficiently to tide
them over until the new crops come in.

General News

The daylight saving time in force
since Easter Sunday seems to be working
out with pleasure to most Chicagoans.
There is some slight trouble, however,
in the shipping or flowers on through
trains that still run on standard time
and the express companies working on
daylight saving time, causing them to
pick up an hour in advance. This only
gives trouble on telegraph orders where
I the time of the receipt of the order leaves
but a small margin of time to get the
stock to the train. The only way to avoid
disappointment is to send in the orders
early each day and give the wholesaler
as much time as possible for the proper
filling of same.

Do Chicagoans like flowers? Is there
a growing taste for floriculture in this
community? The answer was given this
Simday when an estimated crowd of
40,000 persons invaded Lincoln Park to
see the Spring flower show in the con-
servatories. At times, the press of hu-
manity was so great that police lines had
to be formed to keep back the flower
loving enthusiasts. It was, of course, a

free show. Wm. J. O'Carroll, head gar-
dener, has been highly complimented on
the exhibition.

The American Bulb Co. has on display,
in its store on Wabash ave., some fine
samples of California grown palms. These
were selected by Mr. Miller while on the
Coast. There are some fine plants of Ken-
tias, Phcenix and Arecas of varying sizes
from 4in. to lOin. pots of fine proportions,

August Jurgens is shipping from his
farms in Mississippi to the flower growers
some fine Godfrey Callas and Shasta
Daisies, all outdoor gjown. In most of
these shipments from the "Sunny South"
there is tucked away in a snug little cor-
ner a few bimches of that sappy, succulent
Mint that in olden times used to paint
landscapes in the brains of men when de-
lectably served with the proper accompani-
ment. In Kentucky, the Mint beds all
dried up with the passing of old John
Barleycorn; seemingly Mississippi is not
in sympathy. What is the use of Mint
anyway without the julep?

Allie Zech, of Zech & Mann, is serving
his trade with some really fine Snap-
dragons in attractive colors, with from
30in. to 36in. stems.

John F. O'Malley, alderman of the 21st
Ward, died Monday. He was a noted
Democratic leader of Chicago and Cook
County. Much to the regret of his many
florist friends, there was issued with tue,
funeral notices a "Please omit flowers."
Several florists in the ward brought some
action to bear on the family to permit the
use of a limited number of pieces for
which they already had orders. This the
family later agreed to. Other florists else-
where may take the hint.

A Chicago wholesale house has recently
been selling some flne sprays of the old
blue Daisy Agathea coelestis, which used
to be a popular subject many years ago.
It is like meeting old friends to see an old
friends to see an old favorite plant of
many years acquaintance.

Paul Klingsporn of the Flower
Growers, reports the best Easter trade
ever. They had a good cleanup on all
stock and filled all orders completely.

Weiland-Risch Co. had in their store
some of the finest Lilies on the market
this Easter. They were grown in the
company's greenhouses at Evanston from
the three star brand of L. giganteiun sent
out by Vaughan's Seed Store.

A. Lange reports Kis Easter trade from
ten to fifteen per cent better than a year
ago. This is breaking a record many in
the trade thought it impossible to do, as
the Easter tr^de of 1920 was so great
no one thought it would ever be ex-
ceeded. Mr. Lange says there were a good
many F. T. D. orders, but they averaged
in amounts much less than in former
years.

A. T. Pyfer & Co. report a splendid
business that ended up satisfactorily.
They had sufficient of everything to satis-
fy their trade and filled late orders to the
letter.

The Bohannon Floral Co. never had a
better Easter trade. "Stock was so good
and plentiful," ^ Mrs. Stewart said, "it
was easy to satisfy customers."

Zech & Mann disposed of a. lot of
Rambler Roses in pots in addition to
their cut flower sales. Allie Zech is well
satisfied with his Easter trade.

T. E. Waters of the Poehlmann Bros.
Co. left Friday, Mar. 25 for a trip to Rich-
mond, Va. He went in charge of a large
shipment of orchids and Valley for a
prominent house there. The distance be-
ing considerable, the order a large one,
it was of the greatest importance the stock
should reach that city in ample time for
Easter trade. With so many changes en
route it was deemed best not to trust
this shipment to the mercy of the express
company, so Mr. Waters went along, tak-
ing it as baggage. This incident probably
developed a new phase in cut flower ship-
ping, as on inquiry as to the amount of
such baggage he could take on the train,
he was told the railroads always made
liberal allowances of space for flowers to
accompany a corpse. Here Mr. Waters
made a good point that if the transpor-

tation company allowed so much for a
corpse, how much would they allow for a
live man? On his repartee he was given
the necessary accommodation. Mr. Waters
returned from his trip on April 1.

The construction of greenhouses on the
Pacific Coast is fast assuming large pro-
portions, according to P. J. Foley, who
has just returned from there. P. L. Mc-
Kee of the American Greenhouse Co. is
already out there looking after some large
contracts.

The proposed dance to be given by the
Florists Club on Thursday evening, April
7, has been declared off until a later date.
Prof. Lehenbauer of the University of
Illinois will address the club on matters
of general importance to the trade. Mayor
Wm. Hale Thompson of Chicago will be
present and will also be one of the speak-
ers of the evening. Matters pertaining to
what the florists* industry will do in re-
gard to the forthcoming Pageant of Pro-
gress will come up for discussion.

The large quantity of yellow Narcissus
at present on the market gives the re-
tailers a fine opportimity to make window
displays of great merit at a small cost.
A prominent retail store on State st.
showed a number of madeup pieces the
past week in which purple Sweet Peas
and Narcissus were used exclusively.

George Wienhoeber has become a regu-
lar advertiser in the city papers and fea-
tures many attractive illustrations suit-
able to the various occasions. The bridal
bouquet advertisement used the past week
is really artistic and conmaands wide at-
tention. Bert Cole, a long time wholesale
man, is now with Mr. Wienhoeber.

Weiland-Risch Co. has on display at ita
store some fine Lilium giganteum, grown
at the greenhouses of the company at
Evanston from the three star brand of
bulbs furnished by Vaughan's Seed Store.
The flrst Gladioli of the season are also
seen at this store; the variety is Mrs.
Pendleton, which is well grown and at-
tractive.

With the probability of the discontin-
uance of the Reinberg greenhouses, owing
' to the death of the owner, Peter Reinberg,
a short time ago, all the young stock in
Roses, Carnations and Chrysanthemums,
grown especially for their own planting,
I is being offered for sale. The stock is all

in excellent condition.
j Arthur J. Bauscher, president of the
' Bauscher Bros. Floral Co., Freeport, 111.,
] died March 17 from a self inflicted bullet
wound, an account of which appeared in
I our last issue. The cause is attributed to
unrequited love. Mr. Bauscher was well
known in trade circles, being a large pur-
chaser of greenhouse necessities and flo-
rists' supplies on the Chicago market, hav-
ing greenhouses covering 100,000 sq. ft
of glass at Freeport, which were started
by his father, the late John Bauscher in
1887. Mr. Bauscher belonged to many
fraternal associations, as did his father
before him. He was a widower, his wife
having died nearly one year ago. He
leaves two children. The funeral was held
Saturday, March 19.

H. N. Bruns, well known Westside flo-
rist is of the opinion that the time will
come when pot grown Lilies for Easter,
and other times for that matter, will be
done away with. The handling of pottea
plants has always been a large item of
expense and trouble to the trade. The
delivering of much of this stock when bo
grown is, even with most careful handling,
attended by considerable risk.

It is argued there is no function a pot
grown plant will fulfill that a bunch of
cut blooms will not answer as well. When
placed in water they will last as long
cut as on the plant, and besides, plants
are more apt to be neglected for the want
of water, of which there is no possibility
when in vases or other receptacles that
will hold water and the blooms as weU.
By getting away from the cumbersome
pottery, Lily growers would at least saTO
themselves a large portion of the labor
and expense incidental to their cultiva-
tion.

"JAY EM" Says:

Who Wins? I'll Leave It to You

Many a retail florist after years of
hard work and strict economy invests all
his hard won earnings in greenhouses. He
grows probably some Rosea, maybe a
house or two of Carnations, a bench of
Sweet Peasj with a few other miscella-
neous plants and flowers, all of which re-
quire the attention of skilful labor, heat,
moisture, fertilizer, well lighted and ven-
tilated greenhouses, substantially built, all
costing lots to start and to operate.

Another retail florist in the same city
has no greenhouses and puts his complete
energy into selling. Has a downtown store
location, modern store fixtures, attractive
window displays with prices in plain
figures, conducting clever advertising
schemes, an F. T. D. enthusiast, devoting
his entire time, thought and capital to
modern merchandising methods.

The first mentioned retail florist con-
centrates largely on growing. The second
concentrates on selling, and buying the
kind of stock he wants, the kind of stock
that attracts and creates customers. Can
the retail grower who must of necessity
spend a large portion of his time in his
greenhouses, be as successful a merchant
as the one who concentrates on buying
and selling?

The Chicago Great Wholesale Cut
Flower Market makes success possible to
both. ^hg ^;n37

Tbe Market

April 5. — During tke past week, es-
pecially toward the end and up to today,
the market has improved considerably.
Not that flowers have sold for much
more, some even dropped in price, but the
demand has been normal. The retail stores
report a good amount of business for so-
cial events and wedding affairs. The long
spell of mild weather has come to an end,
giving place to seasonable fair Spring
"weather with cold nights and cool days.
The supply of flowers is not what might
'be called excessive. Callas, Calendulas,
Pansies and the poorer grades of Sweet
Peas show signs of being "de trop" and
Violets have given up the ghost. Acacias,
which have had a good rim, have also
■about given out. The blue Iris filifolia is
becoming more common and to be seen in
almost every florist store.

American Beauty Roses are arriving in
larger quantity, but the demand leaves
much to be desired; prices are unstable
and low in consequence. Hybrid teas clean
up fairly well at slightly higher prices
than last week. A number of large
funerals used up a lot of white Roses.
The stock coming in is mostly of high
quality, the cooler nights and days doing
much in preventing premature opening
■after cutting.

Antirrhinxuns are in full crop, lots of
good spikes being offered, but find it hard
to get buyers at ?3 per doz. Calendulas

are really overdone at present, bringing
not over 3c. for the very best and most
of them are very good at that.

There is not a great lot of Carnations
coming to the market, yet they are not
selling as well as they generally do. The
price runs between 5c. and 6c. for the gen-
eral stock, rather the less figure than the
other. The top grade brings a little
more. White and yellow Daisies are
plentiful, selling freely at 2c. to 5c.

White Lilies, too, are enough to fill all
demands, so is Mignonette, for which the
demand is rather poor. Bulb stock of all
varieties is more than plenty, it is freely
bought, going at from 3c. to 6c. Pansies
are in their glory as far as supply is con-
cerned, the price is another matter, hardly
going over i%c. for the best. Sweet Peas
are not so good as they have been; there
are more than enough, so that the price
had to drop some. Lily of the Valley has
a good demand; enough to go round is to
be had, costing from 8c. to 10c. Cattleyas
also sell well, Trianee is almost gone,
Schrceder^ is in crop and a few Mossiffi
are appearing. Cypripediums are scarce,
a few fancy sorts only to be had at $3
to $6 per doz. Minor flowers and greens
of all sorts are doing as usual. Gypso-
i phila elegans and trailing Arbutus are

the only new things at present.
I The retail stores are making some fine
t displays with pot Roses, French Hydran-
I geas and Genistas; doing a good business
[ in general.

News Notes

j The following notice may interest

florists of Boston and vicinity and also

those of other states, as the party men-
tioned below is reported to have worked
his little game in New York and other
cities and towns. He reaped a substan-
tial harvest in the flower markets of Bos-
ton.

A yoimg man, connected with the florist
trade and well known in Boston, has found
an easy way to separate hia friends and
acquaintances from their hard iearned
cash. The young good-for-nothing will
step up to hia intended victim with an
interesting story of how he is engaged in
the illegitimate booze traffic and how hia
truck, loaded with the much wanted stuff
has broken down in some out of the way
place and how he needs the sum of ten or
more dollars to have it towed to its des-
tination. Of course he makes certain
promises, having to do with part of the
load, and serious or funny as the case
may appear, he has found a number of
gulliblea. It is said that the scoundrel
has cleaned up a substantial sum of money
and that he has invaded New York and
other cities and towns. From latest re-
ports, the federal authorities are look-
ing for the man and any florist who may
eventually get approached for a lift of
$10 will know what to do.

President J. B. Letson of the Boston
Florists Association announces that, at the
regular meeting of the association April
12 at the City Club, R. H. Newcomb,
legal advisor of the transportation de-
partment of the Boston and Maine Rail-
road, will give an address on "Railroad
Problems." As the matter of transporta-
tion charges and conveniences form, at the
present day, one of the most important
subjecta under discussion, not only with
florists, but with the whole country, Mr.
Newcomb, who is well informed and a
brilliant apeaker, may be sure of a big
and interested audience. A number of
important and timely business matters will
be considered at the meeting which is
scheduled for 6.30 p.m.

Trailing Arbutus or Mayflowers have
been observed today, March 31, in "Car-
bone's." This is weeks ahead of the time
of the usual appearance of this popular
harbinger of Spring. In the same store
was also a display of the new double
Snapdragon, which, in its way, made a
very favorable impression upon the writer.
The store reports a more than satis-
fctory Easter trade in plants, cut flowers
and decorations. The store windows pre-
sent an unusually beautiful appearance,
being filled with the choicest Spring flow-
ers and plants, arranged with exquisite
taste in "Carbone's" quamt and valuable,
genuine antique bowls and vases.

H. M. Robinson & Co., Inc., are making
great preparations for the coming Memo-
rial Day season. Extra forces are at work
in the wire design department, where
every sort of wire design is manufactured
and where some ten men are steadily em-
ployed throughout the year. Beside the
output of their own basket and artificial
flower factory, the firm has imported an im-
mense supply of the best novelties so that the
customer may choose from more than 450
styles. The firm reports Easter trade as
having been the best in its experience;
out-of-town shipping business called for
every flower and plant obtainable. Inci-
dentally, it may be mentioned that every
order accepted was filled, it being the
rule with the firm. not to accept an order
unless there is every assurance that it can
be executed. The annex department, on
the floor of the Flower Exchange Market
did a phenomenal trade; young John Rob-
inson, who has charge of it, still points
with pride to a tall stack of order slips.
He certainly did not let any grass grow-
under his feet while the rush was on, it is
not his way of doing business.

Thomas Roland of Nahant and Revere,
and the B reek-Rob inson Nurseries, Lex-
ington, are going to compete for the Rose
Garden prizes at the coming National
Rose Show in Horticultural Hall, April
6-10.

The "Kewites" in America visiting the
National Rose Show, will meet near the
orchestra on April 8, Wm. H. Judd, sec-
retary, will be on hand for the gathering
of the clan.

Wm. C. Stickel, Lexington, is sending
to the Flower Exchange market the only
Iris filifolia. Mr. Stickel has devoted a
whole house to these flowers. They are in
great demand and bring very satisfactory
prices so far.

Abutilon (Flowering Maple)

I recently tried to buy plants oi
Abutilon (flowering Maple) in New York
without success. I foxmd them finally and
ordered them from an Ohio concern which
offers the improved sis choice varieties
of all the colors for 25c. each. I am es-
pecially fond of them, as they are rapid
growers and thrive in the window gar-
den, are neat and attractive, and as easily
grown as Geranimns; free from disease
and insects and are profuse and constant
bloomers, outdoors or in. In the Eall they
can be lifted and grown in the house. 1
think if the market can be supplied bj
growers, they will find good sale to flo-
rists when offered in bloom. They are
easily propagated from cuttings by whicb
the choice varieties are perpetuated, as
they do not come true from seed.

To my mind there is a particular
charm in the varied beauty of the Aubti-
Ion blooms, its handsome flowers, like
bells, hanging from its branches.

James R. Pitcher, N. Y.

Hootch Melons

Of late the newspapers have been giv
ing us wondrous stories regarding the in
fluence of music on egg production, th( I
gander that acted pilot to the blind O! '
and so forth, but none surpass the latest
which claims that a prominent Meloi
grower of Burlington, Col., has contractec
to raise three acres of Watermelons foi
some real estate dealers, the fruit guar
anteed to contain at least ten per cent ol
alcohol. The story goes that the growei
will plug each fruit when half grown am
insert a special kind of yeast which, as th(
Melons grow, ferments and changes th<
sugar content to alcohol. We are tolc ,
that the growth of the plant is stimuj
lated enormously, and that the plug, aftei
replacement, is sealed with grafting wax '■
This writer has a notion that ii yeae ^
could have any effect at all, it would bij
simpler to give it to the fruit via thi ,
stem by the aid of thread. The big Pump |
kins and big Gooseberries oftentimes an
developed this way, at least we have rMt '
so. One opines, however, that these atorie ^
are merely a sign of Spring and emanat ^
from the same source that produces th* ^
annual sea serpent. |

"Easter business for 1921 surpassed our
I expectations," says W. H. Englehart,
president of the Idlewild Greenhouses.
"We lacked the number of big orders, but
this lack was made up by the increase in
the number of smaller sales; we did a vol-
imie business that exceeded our 1919 sales
and came within a few per cent of our
exceptional trade of last year.

"I am more than ever convinced that
we should go after the small order and
make a volume business of it by intensive
newspaper advertising. The ten days pre-
ceding Easter we began advertising for
Easter Orders. We advertised cut flowers
blooming plants and floral Easter pieces.
We made up small priced art boxes of

April 5. — The cut flower market
since Easter has fallen somewhat, with a
topheavy supply and a slim demand. There
is a full line of Roses selling at the lowest
prices of the year; also a heavy supply of
Carnations ahead of all requirements.
Sweet Peas flood the market, and Callas
are in excess of the demand. There is a
medium supply of Easter Lilies. Orchids
have declined to $1, and there is an
ample supply of Valley. Violets are about
done. Delphinium and Gladioli are the
novelties.
Notes from Around

On Tuesday, April 5, a large party
assembled at the store of the S. S. Pen-
nock Co. to visit a number of the large

wood; H. M. Weiss & Sons Co. at Hat-
boro; Stephen Mortensen's at Southhamp-
ton; Joseph Heacock Co. at Eoelofs; and

heimer, on April 2.

George C. Watson, seedsman, located
for the past 16 years in the Dobson Build-
ing, at Ninth and Market sts., has rented
offices on the second floor of the Pennock
Building, at Sixteenth and Ludlow sts.,
and will be pleased to have his friends
call and see him at his new address.

The annual Spring show is on at Horti-
cultural Hall in Fairmount Park, and it is
an exceptionally fine exhibit of Easter
fiowering plants.

Robert A. Craig and Cornelius Van
sailed for Porto Rico on the S. S. San
Lorenzo, Ai>ril 2 — will be gone 16 days.

H. C, Geiger has returned from PortO'
Rico, where he had been spending the

The Florex Gardens have sent a mag-
nificent exhibit of Roses to the show of
the American Rose Society, at Boston this
week. The varieties were Mme. Butterfly,,
Premier, Double vV^hite Killarney, Colum-
bia and Dunlop.
Club Notes

There was a light attendance at
the April meeting of the Florists' Club,,
held Tuesday evening, April 5. Anthony
Ruzicka of Madison, N. J., was the
speaker of the evening, and spoke on
Roses. The Florex Gardens, North Wales^
Pa., showed some exhibition blooms of
Roses that were superb in the following
varieties : Double White Killarney^
Premier, Mme. Butterfly, Columbia and
Dunlop.

Myers & Samtmann had a vase of a
light sport of Premier.

blooming plants, at $5 each. We sold every
one, gave the public an invitation to
come to see our greenhouse before Easter
while they were at their greatest beauty.
We sold every blooming plant. We sold
every cut flower we had, and when Mon-
day morning came we were entirely out of
stock.

"Another surprising feature was the
number of cash sales. Our cash sales ex-
ceeded last year's The reason we at-
tribute to this is the fact that we went
after the small priced order. We are
gratified with our Easter business, and
know that the business is there if we go
get it."

"We were cleaned out of every Easter
flower and plant early Easter morning,
and Monday morning found us without a
bud or a plant for funeral work," says
Miss Kate L. Harris, of the Flower Shop.

"We had no expectations, whatever,
that the business would assume the pro-
portions it did. We expected a business
about the size of 1919. We began our
Easter advertising in the local newspapers
a week in advance of Easter, and used
good sized space every day. We put the
prices in our advertising and went after
the sales. We rented an extra storeroom
for our Easter plants, and were sold out
of Easter Lilies early Saturday afternoon.
This year Wd find it necessary to go after
business to get it, and we are after it."

"We sold out everything," says Cleve

W. Johnson, of Johnson's Greenhouses,,
"and were very agreeably surprised with
the results of Easter sales. We had some
apprehension as to the outcome, but find
that extra steam, when extra steam is
needed, brings in the business. We had
•4000 Easter Lilies and sold every one.
Our cut flowers likewise ^\ ere sold. In
going after Easter business we began ad-
vertising strongly in the newspaper more
than a week before Easter, and quoted
prices. The business came.

"Before Easter I had some doubt as to
the cash business, and laid plans to in-
crease cash sales. It was not necessary to
carry out those plans. The business was
there and exceeded our expectations in
the fact of conditions. Conditions, after
all, I believe, are myth, for the man who
jmnps in and works is bound to make

The Cartwright Floral Co. of CoUier-
ville is making preparations for a big
Peony cut. The crop so far promises to
be excellent. The Cartwright Floral Co.
only grows the finest varieties. They have
12 acres in Peonies this year, and ten in
bulbous stock of all kinds. This year they
are adding evergreens and shrubbery to
their line. James Cartwright, son, is now
in college studying floriculture, and ex-
pects to take charge of the company when
he completes his course.

Reports from this concern are that busi-
ness is very good. V. D.

HENRY PENN'S MESSAGE
Everybody Sells Something or Loafs

Mystery or Mastery

Have you ever stopped to think that there ia no MYSTERY in
Success. It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It is based on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that underlie business activity and human life! It
comes from MASTERY of these laws, and their application to one's
work! To know these laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligently is sure to bring success whatever one's imdertaking.
MASTERY is the key-word, not MYSTERY! The change of one let-
ter makes all the difference in the world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Business conditions are
rapidly changing. Just a short time a^o there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more goods
than buyers. Instead of a seller's market, we have a buyer's market.
All business, or in other words, all human activity, in its last analysis
is dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill: the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant his merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice: Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your sales-
manship.
This message \a taken from the Sheldon Science of Business of which

I am a class member at Boston, and I think it contains meat for all

EASTER ADVERTISING LESSONS ^THK.r*'

By CARL G. WILSON

Among Cleveland Advertisers

Easier flower advertising in the Cleveland newspapers
vas quite extensive. Among those using printer's ink
nay be mentioned The Jones & Russell Co., The Gasser
lo.. The Knoble Bros. Co., Taylor .A.rcade Flower Shop,
'elton. The Park Floral Co., The Wilson Florist Co.
nd Mrs. Mercer.

The Knoble Bros. Co. used a ISin. three column
ipacc in the various papers. The ad was very effective,
Itention arresting and action producing. They always
eature two slogans in their advertising copy ; their own,
|.\ store as near to you as your nearest 'phone," and the

Buffalo, N. Y., Community Ad
te the border has worked into it four suggestions: a plant, a
flower basket, a corsage and a box of flowers

I tional slogan, "Say it with Flowers." Then comes the
joy; "Next Sunday is Easter Sunday. Of all the days
• wers should be in your life on this particular holiday."
' en follow practical suggestions, with prices : "French

■^drangeas. Lilac plants Tulip pans, Genistas, Easter
I ies. Hyacinths, Rose bushes. Climbing, Dwarf, Per-
Itual. All perfectly hardy; can be planted in your
^•den." The item of corsages is specified with guar-
; ceed delivery by 9.30 Sunday morning. Cut flowers are
; icified in detail. Three cuts are employed : French
l|drangeas, pan of Tulips and Violet and Rose corsage,
'ich add character and force to the ad.
The Jones-Russell Co. are getting out some effective
< )y about their new store, featuring their new slogan :

he most beautiful Flower Store in America." They
Vre using a lOin. three column space. Their Violet cor-
sje advertisement was very effective, being illustrated
i(;h a three column sketch of a corsage of single Vio-
(s, with an Easter card interwoven in the Violets
I .ding : "Easter Greetings from Jim." The copy reads :
'i iolet corsages for Easter. We will make a feature
c Hudson River Violets in bouquets of 100 at $2.00,
ii combined with Gardenias, Roses or Lilies of the Val-
1 at $3.00. Easter Special — ^A dozen and a half fine,
1 g stemmed Roses, $5.00. Our Easter display of
Ise bushes, Hydrangeas, Primroses and Spring fiow-
c in pots will be the finest in our history, and prices
v,l be surprisingly low." Altogether a well set up,
e:ctive piece of advertising. The copy of their special
ise advertisement is effective, but the cut of the Rose
» Id be much improved.

^,"he J. M. Gasser Co. in a three column ad announced :
flower show on Palm Sunday, March 20. We in-
y; you to visit our greenhouses, Wooster rd., Rocliy
f'er, on Palm Sunday. This is the only Sunday of
tl year we open our greenhouses to the public. No
fivers sold at the greenhouses. Placed hedge fashion,
tire are over 12 miles of Carnation plants, 15 miles
0 Rose bushes, tens of thousands of bulb stock, orchids,
L/ of the Valley, and innumerable rare tropical and
Sdi-tropical plants all in bloom. We welcome you this
d: as our guests. The J. M. Gasser Co." They had a
fl|t of 35 autos to deliver their Easter corsages on
Eiter Sunday morning.

The Park Floral Co. advertised a flower show. This
firm has made their conservatory facing the street
into a real show room, with large windows special light-
ing features, fountain and statuary, and fitted up for
the purpose of holding shows and exhibitions. The
ad read : "Second Annual Spring Flower Show, which
oiwns Sunday, March 20, lasting the entire week. Fea-
turing fancy specimen plants, rare blooms and nov-
elties. You and your friends are cordially invited. Open
evenings. The Park Floral Co., 13336 Euclid ave.
Music. Admission free."

The Taylor Arcade Flower Shop sprang into promi-
nence with a lOin. three column ad in the Plain Dealer.
This was neat, concise and effective.

Mercer's on the South Side are beginning to use
printer's ink on a small scale, but on account of the
neat and snappy cuts they are using, it is none the less

The community advertising of the Buffalo florists de-
serves a word of recognition. They are carrying on
a good work in a workmanlike manner. The, Easter
advertising put out is well conceived and well carried
out. A little more white space would have given it
added attention drawing powers. The layout is a 7in.
3 column ad, used in the five Buffalo papers. (See illus-
tration.) The cut of mother and father apparently
ready for church, with their little girl carrying Easter
Lilies, gives point and character to the ad. It is such
work as this that produces results. Constantly sowing
in the minds of the j)eople the sentiment of flowers, the
everyday need of flowers, the different occasions when
fioAvers should be used, is what pays. Chicago is finding
it pays big and direct returns. They are using the ideal
arrangement there. Their paid advertising puts across
the sentiment of flowers, but they are coming more
and more to see its value in moving gluts by stabiliz-
ing and balancing demand to supply. Then they use
newspaper stories to tell the public pure flower sentiment,
culture and care of flowers, etc. They find that both
methods are vital, that both have their limitations, but
when used together, they make a complete unit.

On March 2 in all Buffalo papers appeared the fol-

lowing advertising : "Flowers are always welcome.
.An atmosphere of joy and happiness is lent to a home
by flowers. The busy business man often forgets the
pleasure he can bring to his family by remembering them
with flowers.

'Flowers for Everybody"

BRIGHTEN your home with Ilowering

An exceptionally neat Easter Ad of the Taylor Arcade
Flower Shop, Cleveland, O.

Easter Ad of Anderson, Buffalo, N. Y., in which

each buying suggestion stands out clearly

and distinctly

Flowers are always a fitting gift. Perhaps, someone
dear to you is having a birthday anniversary or some
social event that should not be forgotten.

Whose heart can you make beat faster today, if you
"Say it with Flowers?"

On March 7 the following copy appeared in all papers
using Sin. double column:

"THE SYMBOL OF LOVE— FLOWERS."

"Flowers are always welcome and cherished. To a
wife, daughter, sweetheart or sick friend, they bear the
message of love and best wishes.

Flowers represent all the beautiful sentiments of life.
Perhaps there is someone you can make happy today, if
you —

"Say it with Flowers."

On March 17 a St. Patrick's Day ad came out in all
the papers.

The committee handling the work is to be congratu-
lated on the work it is doing for the whole trade of that
city.

Department Store Advertising Applied to
Flowers

Anderson of Buffalo is a thorough believer in the
merits of advertising. He doesn't lie back and talk
advertising — he advertises. This is demonstrated by his
Easter advertising. One ad, which ran in practically all
the Buffalo papers, was lOin. deep and seven columns
wide. Other advertising took up spaces 15in. deep, three
columns wide and 8in. deep, 3 columns wide.

Mr. Anderson has applied department store advertis-
ing methods to flowers and has achieved some very
effective results. Instead of bunching buying suggestions,
each suggestion is individualized — separated from the
rest — and has a separate heading of its own. This
draws unconfused attention to each and every item. I
often think that I can see the condition of a florist's desk
by the condition of his advertising. Clearness and
readibility are essential, great essentials to good adver-
tising. To move a reader to action (and that is the
sole end advertising aims at) he must be able to easily
and clearly get your idea and find it of interest to him.
In the confused jumble of suggestions that are so often
put out by some florists, how can the reader form con-

cise ideas of what he wants, or even of
what the florist has to offer?

_Anderson*s advertising is not of this
kind. It is of the kind that tells clearly = O I 1 ,
and concisely — I would almost say graphi- | ^r*holT7
cally — just what Anderson has to offer in i ►>-'v^l A*-'il^j
the way of Easter flowers. To be effective
in advertising one must see his goods from
the customer's position. This is often over-
looked by the florist and he arranges his
ads as he arranges his store for Easter, in
groups and masses, forgetting that the cus-
tomer's decision is not with groups and
collections, but with one plant — one kind
of Rose — one Hydrangea — one Genista.

"Easter Flowers" is not strong in action
producing effects, but when followed with
"Prepare your Easter Gift List Now," and
follow that with specific suggestions from
which to make up that Easter gift list,
then you put motion into your advertising.

Anderson's advertising has that motion
m his advertising and it is well directed
toward Anderson's store, which is another
important point.

Peter Gerlaird

The fame of Peter Gerlaird as chair-
man of the house committee of the New
York Florists Club is a bj^vord among
the fraternity. Greater honors have, how-
ever, been thrust upon him. The Evening
World of April i includes his portrait
among others, crediting the whole as
home of the Live Merchants of Lower
feixth Avenue, Who Boost Famous Shop-
ping District." The Sixth Avenue Mer-
chants' Association held its first annual
dinner and dance on the night of April
3 at the McAlpin and, according to the
report, the members and their lady
friends had a grand old time. Among the
speakers was Peter Gerlaird, and of him
we read: "Peter Gerlaird, a florist, has
been doing business in Sixth ave. for
30 years. He sold flowers when Fourteenth
St. was what Forty-second st. is today.
And just a few squares away was the
most fashionable and exclusive neighbor-
hood in the city. 'They were the good
old days of horse cars and the horse
drawn landau,' said Mr. Gerlaird. 'I have
seen those old cars run along in Winter
with their smokestacks belching black
smoke. It was really a grotesque scene.
In those days I sold flowers to the best
New York families.' "

Watch the Papers for Trade Tips

Then Act Upon Them

When the handsome new "Hydro" elec-
tric shop was about to be opened at Lon-
don, Ont., an enterprising florist of the
city applied to the store manager for a
list of all the jobbers and manufacturers
from whom electrical purchases were regu-
larly made. To these firms he then ad-
dressed a courteous letter, advising of the
opening of the electric shop at London on
the date set and suggesting that his green-
houses coutained a choice assortment of
Roses, Carnations and other flowers which
would make admirable floral pieces — if
accompanied by the card of said jobber or
manufacturer. Most of the electrical firms
addressed responded to the suggestion,
with suitably inscribed cards and proper-
ly inscribed cheques, so that the new elec-
tric shop opened as a veritable fairyland
of floral pieces, baskets of flowers, and
other evidences of the suppliers' good
wishes as well as of the florist's enterprise,

Helpful Publicity

Kecently the Newark Call carried a
most appreciative article headed "Market
of Flowers — A Glorious Sight." Such
phrases as the two following have untold
value in furthering the love of flowers:

"Robert F. Blum, painter of such classics
as 'The Japanese Toy Vendor,' should have
been alive and in Newark yesterday. He
would have revelled in the colorful picture
presented by Center Market plaza and its
Easter flower booths.

"Still, one did not have to be an artist to
appreciate the scene; it was noted by every
passerby, and hundreds paused in their rush
up or down Broad St. to view the sight. It was
a welcome break in the city's teeming heart—
a living picture approached in its appeal only
by the Christmas tree market at Yuletide."

We hope the Newark florists rewarded
the editor of the Call with a floral gift as
a token of their thanks. Why not In
I fact, just as publishers are favored with
I advance copies of new books for review
purposes, retailers might well favor the
I editorial departments of their local news-
papers with a "sample" of the flower.

A box of flowers to the editors of the
trade papers never fails to get a mention
and that similar response from the news-
papers would be elicited is without doubt.

I Plants for Large Hotel Foyer

I In reply to the inquiry printed on

page IV of the Green Section of the April

2 issue, as to the best plants for a large

hotel foyer, we are already in receipt of

the suggestions given herewith. It will

be recalled that advice was asked for not

only as to hardy, dust resistant sorts and

varieties, but also as to wnether the plants

J had best be planted directly in decorative

I urns or in tubs or pots to be stood in

I the receptacles. The sentiment appears

; to be unanimously in favor of the latter

I practice.

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

1 could easily give you a list of plants
j for hotel use, but do not know if they
I are in the market. We have used Phcenis
' Roebelenii very successfully and for low
! effects Aspidistra is good and will stand
j much neglect. There's nothing better
I than Kentias, both Fosteriana and Bel-
moreana, and with care they will last a
long while. We have specimens of the latter
in two banks here that vre placed ten
years ago, and they are fine specimens to-
day; but they are sponged off every two
weeks with soapy water (Ivory soap) a
soft sponge being used and both sides of
the leaves and stems being cleaned.

Khapis flabelleformis is very decora-
tive and Dractena Draco in large speci-
mens very effective. I would have the
plants, if possible, in wooden tubs to fit
the urns, so as to be able to move them
out of doors every month or so to be
syringed with water, using a nozzle throw-
ing a fine hard spray.

H. F. A. Lange, Worcester, Mass

Editor, The Florists' Exchange:
I 1 would suggest the following plants
! as suitable for a hotel foyer: Palms —
Phcenix Roebeleni, Latanias, made up
Kentias; pyramidal and standard Bay
trees; tree specimens of Ficus elastica and
F. pandurata; ferns — Nephrolepsis, Boston-
iensis and Cibotium Schiedei.
j In reply to the second question, keep all
I plants in tubs or pots; they will do far
I better there than if planted directly in
I the urns. Robert Halliday,

I Baltimore, Md.

Editor, The Florists' Exchange:

In answer to your inquiry I would sug-
gest the use of the following plants:

Palms — Phoenix canariensis, P. Roebeleni,
Kentia Forsteriana or K. Belmoreana, As-
pidistra lurida or var. variegata (very
tough) ; Pandanus Veitchii, with not too
much variegation; and Pandanus utilis. I
also especially recommend the Sanseverias
for dark places, as they are very lasting.
Dracasna Kothiana and Draco are also
good. I will not readily recommend any
plants outside of these varieties for good
results.

Regarding the filling, I think they are
all right planted in tins or liners for
the urns. Plants under these conditions
require careful watering and should never
be allowed to get wet or soggy. They
will thrive much better if kept on the dry
side. Put in lots of drainage, and if
planting them in urns, an outlet for the
water, controlled by a spigot, is advisable.

A. T. BUNYARD,

New York City.

Could He the Question Put Her?

I wished to send her Roses fair

T?o token my esteem.
To say with flowers in manner rare.

She was my fondest dream.

But at the price my heart was ice;
At best I could but stutter.

I hoped to trust to sweet bouquet

The message of my life.
To say with flowers, what better way

For man to seek a wife?

But at the tax my will was wax,
I could but feebly mutter.

Scientific Efficiency in the Retail
Shop I

One of the most notable features of
Easter claimed the attention of the writer
when he visited the Miller Floral Co.'s
retail shop at 10 East Broadway, Salt
Lake City^ the day before Easter. The
shop was filled to overflowing with cus-
tomers, but there was not the least bit '
of congestion in any department.

Mr. Miller decided last Easter, when
he found it necessary for his store crew
to work all night to fill orders, that some- i
thing should be done. It was not only
the working all night that bothered him,
but the fact that when time came to fill
the orders, many items had been sold half
a dozen times; this was especially true
of cut flowers. The salesmen had been
selling flowers from the show vases all day,
with the consequence that when it came
to filling the orders, a great many sub-
stitutions were necessary.

Mr. Miller immediately got busy and
a visit to the store last Saturday showed
that his efforts had surely been rewarded.
Two packing and wrapping tables were
installed, large enough to accommodate
four wrappers. As soon as a customer
made a purchase, the salesman took the
fiowers or plant, together with invoice and
card, to one of the wrappers. The goods
were immediately packed in the presence
of the purchaser. If the order was to De
delivered that day, the packer took the
package to the route man. The man in
charge of the delivery divided the city
into four sections and used cne truck for
each section; as soon as he received the
package from the wrapper, he routed it
and placed it in one of the four stalls
provided in accordance with the direction
in which it was going. As soon as the
driver came in from a trip he found a
load awaiting him. Without the least bit
of confusion he was able to reload his
wagon and start off again. If the order
was not to be delivered until the follow-
ing day, the packer iced it and placed it
in a large storage ice box, built for the
purpose. It was left in the ice box until
early the next morning when it was to
be delivered.

Prices of everything in the store were
in plain sight of the buyer. Special tags
were made for the cut flower vases; on
these tags were the names, the grade,
and the prices of each item. Pot plant
labels were printed and each pot contained
a tag giving the price. The whole system
worked, like a well oiled machine and
when 10 p.m. came the doors were locked
and everybody was ready to go home.

Mr. Miller has been highly compli-
mented on his new system, and feels well
repaid for the effort he has put forth to
perfect it, G. J. B.

Rhinebeck. N. Y.

Easter in the Violet Conntry

Despite unsatisfactory reports in
the trade papers and the weather that
was even worse, the Violet growers of the
Khinebeck, N. Y., Violet district made all
their usual preparations and met an un-
paralelled demand for the blooms. One
large shipper to the retail trade reports
orders refused amounting to over 100,000.
Not that there was any dearth of Violets,
but simply one of good Violets. As is un-
fortunately often the case many small
growers held their stock for several weeks,
and the hot Sunday and Monday fairly
cooked some of the open blooms. Advance
reports from the commission market
showed that thousands were "dumped."
On the other hand, the larger firms with
a reputation to uphold handled only the
best of the stock and were favored with
cool weather in which to ship. It is esti-
mated that over a million and a quarter
blooms were marketed to the retailers at
the general price of $1.50 per 100.

Every business thinks that it has con-
ditions "peculiar" to itself, and surely the
Violet growers are justified in making
that claim. Indeed, Easter in Rhinebeck
is a most remarkable time, and every able
bodied person in the town who has the will
to work can find emplojrment. A 15-year-
old boy said to the writer yesterday that
he made $5 per day, although he had never
picked Violets before. One grower em-
ployed over 50 extra helpers for Eaater
week, and it is safe to say that for four
days he didn't touch his bed. The boas
of a Violet range muat superintend in the
daytime ana pack at night, and it is in-
deed a strenuous week.

The Retail Trade

As people become more educated to
the use of flowera the trade in the coun-
try increases, consequently this was, with-
out doubt, the best Easter ever. The

'linebeck Floral Co. reports that sales
of pot plants were excellent and that
there was a practical clean-up. In cut
flowers a special assorted box of flowers
at $1.50 was extremely popular.

Von der Linden, the florist, handled
large quantities of cut flowers, of which
he makes a specialty.

On the whole it was a very satisfactory
Eaater. Nelson Coon.

Market Notes

Business for the t^vo weeks preced-
ing Easter was normal. Flowers of all
kinds were fairly plentiful, but little stock
was wasted. The Easter outlook was normal
with the price level about equal to a year
ago. To the surprise of the trade in
general there was an increase of from
10 to 12 per cent in the business done.
This was an excellent showing in face of
the general trend of business, which is
downward. Lilies headed the list and were
sold lip clean. Pot gro^vn Tulips and Hya-
cinths were also much in demand; the
Darwins in pots sold when something bet-
ter in Tulips was wanted. French Hyd-
rangeas were of excellent quality and sold
well. Basket arrangements at $5 to $10
were all cleaned up, but buyers for the
larger stock were not on the job. Rho-
dodendrons and the large Azaleas fell
to the same fate as the larger baskets;
the former, costing a stiS price at the
nursery, goes still higher when the re-
tailer gets it.

The cut flower market, with the possible
exception of Roses, was well supplied. Car-
nations were in over supply. The public
did not take well to the increase from
$1.50 to $2 per dozen and, in some in-
stances, the prices were lowered. Easter
morning, from reports the Carnation then
immediately began to move. The call for
corsage work was hea\'y and as the
weather Saturday and Sunday was sunny
and warm the dress parade was on in
earnest and the maidenhair greens worked
overtime. Sweet Peas, Valley, Violets,
Freesias, Pansies, Ageratum, Baby Prim-
roses and Forgetmenots comprised the
list of corsage flowers and, lest we forget,
the orchid.

Trade Notes

All the delivery systems maintain
that this was the easiest Easter delivery
yet. The weather was dry and
warm and many of the complaints, such
as late delivery and packages all blown to
pieces, etc., were entirely eliminated.

The Rahn & Herbert Co. furnished a
tag to be placed with each Hydrangea
reading. "Water this plant well every
day," to the retailers. This will probably

keep many a kick away such as "My
flower wilted right down and I threw it
out," etc., all the time expecting the re-
tailer to make it good. This is a step in
the right direction as only by trying to
give the buyer the maximum of satisfac-
tion will the trade be benefited by a sale.
This holds good all through the line.

The Holden Floral Co. sold probably
the largest single lot of Lilies, namely
10,000 pots. This firm also has Darwin
Tulips in cut by the 1000 and of tiptop
quality.

Geraniums find their way into the stalls
at the market at the first peep of sim
and many are already being purchased.
The old saying, be honest is all right, but
many a sale is lost by being too
much so. The customer finds it
hard to understand that it is too early
for planting out when the days seem so
warm and, when refused, probably feels
the stock you have is not ready so the
other fellow gets the sale.

Easter is past and from the looks of
the shops it did not make a dent in the
supply as all shops are loaded. H. N.

The Market

Mar. 30. — While the wholesale mar-
ket was steady throughout Easter week
there was considerable unrest among the
retailers for there seemed to be no co-
operation among them this year. The
hea\T supply of Lilies gro-wn by the
Japanese seemed to make matters worse.
The one bad feature of the Jap com-
petition is the fact that the orientals
will not cooperate with the white man,
but organize among themselves and then
demoralize the retail market by offer-
ing their products at retail on the
public markets and on the street corners
for less than the regular price.

Some of the higher class stores sold
their Lilies at 60c. per bud and bloom;
others sold at 40c. and 50c.; but the
Japs on the street corners sold for what-
ever they could get. The quality of the
Lilies in most cases was good, the plants
running from ISin. to 30in. high. Hydran-
geas were plentiful, while there was an
oversupply of Tulips in pots. Some good

Rose bushes were offered and Primrosea
were fair. Deutzias were fine, but the
supply was very limited. Hyacinths were
good and in ample supply. Azaleas were
very scarce.

In the cut flower line there was a lib-
eral offering of Roses, Carnations, Snap-
dragon, Tulips, Hyacinths, fine Sweet
Peas, orchids, Gardenias, Valley, Violets
and Primroses in the yellow varieties.

Easter Echoes

Rosaia Bros., as usual, had stock
of all kinds for their Easter trade and
probably handled more Lilies than any
other house. A fine lot of combination
baskets of fiowering plants was offered by
this concern.

The Hollywood Gardens specialized on
box arrangements of their own make.
Very attractive wooden boxes, the handi-
work of E. R. Peterson, filled with as-
sorted blooming plants and ferns, were
the feature offering of this establishment.
Needless to say, they met with favor.
Some of the most elaborate plant baskets
in the city were on display at this shop.
Mr. De Moore was well satisfied with
the Easter business,

Felix Rosaia had his store filled from
top to bottom with a popular priced line
of plants and cut fiowers.

At the Woodlawn Flower Shop all hands
were on the go, with the addition of
about 12 extra people. Mr. Crouch re-
ports a nice increase especially in the
F. T. D. department. There must be a
reason, so says Mr. Crouch, and that rea-
son is quality plus service.

Kenney's Home of Flowers looked like a
wreck the day after Easter, its display
racks being emptied, and only a few
crippled plants remaining about the store.
To add to the rush this firm had quite a
wedding decoration Sunday afternoon. An
overflow store at the corner of Fourth
and Pike streets also proved quite a help
in moving a quantity of stock. Wm. Golds-
barry, the manager, has driven to Van-
couver, B. C, to spend a few days, look-
ing up some palms for a large decora-
tion.

The Pinehurst Floral Co. reports a
complete cleanup, having sold out of Lilies
early Saturday afternoon.

The Burns Floral Co. had quite a ri; [i
on pot plants, especially Easter Lilies.

The Market Flower Shop and the A ;;
Floral Co. both cleaned up well.

Mr. Bourne of Bourne and Son, grower '
of Yakima, Wash., was in towTi ear] ■
this week looking for a market for h i
crop of Carnations, Sweet Peas and Snaj ■
dragons which is now coming on quit ■
heavy. >

Fred W. Gust, Northwest representati^ '
of the McCallum Co., has returned from ,
seven weeks' trip, which he reports a
very successful. While in Portland h
sold the Swetland Flower Shop, *'Por
land's Newest Flower Shop," its initiE
order. He has this to say: "That Sai ,
Dunlap, the manager, has ability and thi
coupled with his many years of Easter ,
training, is going to show the Portlan j
boys a thing or two."

Mr. Bro'wn of Bro"WQ's Victoria Nurst
ries, Ltd., Victoria, B . C, was in thi
city for a few days buying seed and sui
plies for his Victoria store. He say
his Ea-ster business was big.

Ralph Richardson of Richardson ani
Stuber was busy shipping Lilies all las
week. These people are the largest grow
ers of Lilies in this locality.

Arthur Smith of the Smith Floral Co
Tacoma, was in town on a shopping tou
last week. Art had the decorations a
Camp Lewis which called for a grea
many Lily plants. He is the Rotary flo
rist of Tacoma and the live one of thi
bunch. 0. 0.

Los Angeles, Cal.

The White Florists' Wholesale Markenl
held its second meeting and reception oi •*
Saturday, March 19, some 150 person
being present. A lunch, followed by ath
letics and loyal American orations by dis
tinguished speakers followed. The "Jap ■
anese Problem" is of vast import to thi !
White Florists of California. Among thi
visitors present was Philip J. Foley o
Chicago, to whom was given a royal recep
tion and who had the time of his life ii
the "Sunny Land." A poem composed h
his honor runs as follows:

A Welcome to Phil J, Foley

All Hail! Thou towering moimtain of delight
We welcome thee with loving thoughts tonight ;
With heart as large as thy big frame can carry
In this sweet Edenland, we bid thee tarry.
Big as thou art, thy charms need greater apace-
Reflected are they in thy smihng face._
And while we crown thee from our blooming bowers
We join our hands and hearts — and "Say it with .

Flowers."
They call thee "Baby" in "The Windy City.'
And will not let thee stay here; more's the pity
But while we have thee, we'll prolong thy stay.
And let thee taste of Heaven, anyway.
Our hills are mountains clad in purest snow; '
Our sun is shining, everywhere you go;
Our fiowers are blooming all the long year through-^
It's just the land for great big men like youl
And eo, "Bon Voyage," also "Au Revoir,"
For thee we'll always keep "the open door."
"Long live the King," his shadow ne'er grow 1339—
With inspiration all his confreres bless.
Make the world warm and sweet and pure and holy,
God bless him! Old, young Philip Foley.

Dayton, 0.

Trade Conditions Good

The weather started off with a
freeze Monday, March 28, which resulted >
in 50 per cent loss of the fruit crop, also
injuring the Lilacs, Wistaria, etc. How-
ever, the weather has warmed up since
and today finds us planting Gladioli and
Sweet Peas outdoors. If it was not for
the bulb stock disappearing with Easter,
we would hardly know it was over, as
business has been exceedingly good with
all the shops last week. Funeral flowers
had first call, while weddings and store
openings came next. Some days we had
to skirmish around to find enough to till
orders. Carnations are still on the short
side and Sweet Peas have also become
scarce. Roses are most abundant.
Odd Notes

The florists' annual banquet will ,
be held Wednesday, April 13, at the ,
Y. M. C. A. This will include the in-
stalling of the new oSicers. There will j
be no meeting this Tuesday on that ac- j
count.

Zetlitz Floral Products Co. had a large I
store decoration in which they used 5000 i
flowers for favors last week. J. W-
Rodgers reports more business last week
than he could manage. The Heiss Co. |
had a large number of funeral pieces last ^
week. 1

E. E. Schaefer is getting his residence |
painted so that it won't make any differ* ,
ence if we should forget it during tps j
Spring drive. '

Mr. W. L. Ferguson, Smiths Falls, Ontario, un-
der date of Dec. 2d. 1919, writes us the following
in regard to our Petunias:

"Last year I purchased Petunia seed from you.
I think every seed germinated and the blooms
were the finest ever seen in this part of Canada.
Only about S per cent, of the plants could be
classed as common. I want more of the same
quality each year."

Mr. Rudolf Nagel, Lancaster, Pa., imder date
of Dec. 14. 1919, writes us:

"I had last year just a few of your Petunias,
but I am sure I could have sold thousands of them.
They surely came up to your claim and way
ahead of my expectation."

Nicotine Powder for Aphis

Experiments among tlie California Wal-
nut groves have proved that nicotine sul-
phate, added at the rate of two per cent
by weight to kaolin is the best remedy
against aphis. Finding it so effective,
the Bureau of Entomology has tried it
out on other crops. Some forms of aphis
require more nicotine sulphate, the melon
aphis calling for about five per cent. The
most satisfactory method of applying the
powder is the bellows duster; with such
a tool a man can dust two acres of melons
a day. The nicotine-kaolin mixture costs
about 12c. a pound at five per cent
strength. Cabbage aphis quits at a six
per cent mixture. The dust has proved
much superior to wet spray for aphis.
It can also be mixed with dry poisons
when chewing insects are present, but
must not be mixed with Bordeaux mix-
ture except the latter be in dry form.
Kaolin, it may be added, is a form of
)iowdered clay of exceedingly fine grain.
It is largely used for making porcelain
and other chinaware.

New Philadelphia, 0. — The Endres
Floral Co. of West High st., has pur-
chased what is known as the Gilgen farm,
consisting of 86 acres in Blicktown. The
company plans to use the rich lowlands
of this farm for the growing of the finest
varieties of Roses for the wholesale and
retail trade. The Endres Floral Co. has
made rapid progress in the development
and growth of its business within the last
three years and the constantly increasing
demands which are being made upon them
hy both wholesale and retail trade,
prompted Mr. Endres to purchase a very
large tract of rich farm land. The com-
pany hopes to make New Philadelphia the
Rose growing center of the state.

News Items

British Aeria! Trade

The aerial tiade of Crreat Britain dur-
ing 1920 amounted to a total of £1,016,155.
Despite the decreased traffic in December,
the value of goods imported or exported
during the last quarter of the year, was
more than four times as great as that of
the corresponding period in 1919. The
total exports by air service amounted to
£339,108, the balance being up with im-
ports. Clothes and furs form a big fea-
ture of this method of transport, but as
was announced earlj' in the year, plants
and bulbs have also been shipped by air
service.
Utilizing Waste

An Australian has invented a method
by which waste vegetable matter, includ-
ing sawdust, can be converted into arti-
ficial veneer. According to the Canadian
commissioner at Melbourne the substance
can be used for furniture, wall paneling,
etc., and as it is pliable and can be tinted

or marbled any color, it promises to be
of great commercial value.

Cucumber Beetles

Pathologists of the U. S. Dept. of Agri-
culture have discovered that the striped
Cucumber beetles not only carry the wilt
bacteria in their jaws spreading infec-
tion whenever they bite a leaf, but that
in some cases, they hold the bacteria in
tlieir intestinal tract and deposit them
in the Spring where they may come in
contact with the foliage and thus start
early infection. This is quite in keeping
with the spread of diseases affecting hu-
mans and cattle. Tick fever in cattle
is largely spread by insects while malaria
and yellow fever are spread by mosquitoes.
The dread sleeping sickness in Africa is
likewise brought about by the tse-tse fly.

Brown Tail Moth

Inspection of French fruit and Rose
stocks during the past two months has
resulted in the interception of 85 nests
of the brown tail moth in 32 shipments.
This compares badly with the 63 infested
shipments discovered during the past nine
years, and it serves, say the authorities,
to show that the French inspection serv-
ice is much below standard. To meet this
situation, all French shipments are being
fumigated at the port of entry and a
warning has been issued to- French nur-
serymen that if infested shipments con-
tinue, it may be necessary to cancel all
permits.

It may here be questioned whether any
shipments of fruit or Rose stock are due
to arrive at this late date.

sells his surplus to the biggest hotels.
He has recently opened a beautiful
flower shop in the famous old Knicker-
bocker Hotel, which was made over
into an office building. This man,
Pani, is one of those keen, hustling men
who have their ear to the ground.
When your ear tells you it's time to
build, let's talk things over, you
and I.

Five hundred thousand this year and half of them
sold! The old, worn-out section won't do for the days
that are to come — days when production will tell
the story of profit or loss. Labor is plenty. Dig in
and replant. We can still supply the best that can
be produced, before-the-war quality, better shipping
conditions, better deliveries than we have had in
the past few years. Get good soil under and good
roofs over our grafted Roses and watch things grow

AGERATUM— Fraserii

We feeJ conSdent in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to our customera that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitiona to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
ie a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
in. high and was covered the entire season with what can eaaily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2yn in. across, while the individual flower would be J4 of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

Clerk B has made a cash sale for $1.00

The indication at the top of
an up-to-date National Cash
Register gives publicity to
every transaction. The mer-
chant, the clerk, and the cus-
tomer see this record.

This prevents mistakes in price
and in making change. It re-
moves temptation.

The record show^n in the indi-
cation is printed on a strip of
paper w^hich is locked up in-
side the register. This record

also is printed on a receipt for
the customer.

The amounts indicated and
printed are added into totals
which show, at a glance, ( 1 )
the total business handled by
each clerk, and (2) the total of
each kind of transaction.

This assures the merchant that
every sale is handled accu-
rately. It also assures him of
accurate records w^hich give
him control of his business.

This is the indication. "Ca"
shows it was a cash sale.

B" is the clerk's initial.

1. 00" is the price.

Charge sales are indicated
oy "Ch," received on ac-
count by "Re," and paid
out transactions by "Pd."

The same indication shows
on both front and back of
the register.

We make cash le^steis for eveiy line of business, fiiced $75 and up.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society, in Horticultural Hall, April 6th to 10th,

The superb staging of the Rose Gardens; the Kunime Azaleas of soft pastel shades shown in natural and becoming setting; the unusually large
number of species and \-arieties of Orchids exhibited, and the altogether splendid layout of the entire show, are beyond pen descriptioo. jb

e shown in a most natural and becoming set-

ited all who saw the display. Then, in the

orchid hall, unrestricted aimiration was expressed on
all sides for the unusually large number of species and
varieties of orchids shown and for the pleasing way
in which they were arranged. There is no doubt that
the display of orchids this time was the best and larg-
est ever staged in this coimtry. The exhibits of Car-
nations were way ahead of any former attempt, both in
the matter of number of exhibits, number of varieties,
and quality of blooms. The stagii^s of individual
groups of plants for effect also were very fine and nu-
merous. The quality of the plants and flowers was fully
demonstraied by the way all the exhibits kept up to the
last minute; this was especially notable in the case of
the Rose exhibits.

Upon entering the building the visitor noticed first a
large oval group of Primulas (^.\nriculas) arranged
around Kalmia Latifolia and edged with a sod border
from R, & J. Farquhar & Co. At the left of this group
was a displav" of extra well flowered Chinese Azaleas
of large size, some of the plants being up to ICrft.
across. The group contained Azalea .A Fielders, white ;
Roosevelt, flesh colored; -\- Vervaeueana, etc It was
edged with fine Primnla malacoides and was shown by
.\rthur L}man, Waltham. Mass. (_Geo. Steward, gdr.).
.\nother group, on the right, exhibited by Norberg
Bros.. North Cambridge, consisted of French Hydran-
geas in blue, pink and white. Going up a short fl^ht
of stairs one could see, on the right, a large group of
Nemesia stmmosa. in all the most intense shades of
yellow, bronze and terra, cotta. The plants were finely
grown and flowered and attracted a good deal of atten-
tion. To the left of them wa5 a group of extra large
plants of white Daisies and between the two groups, the
first prize Rose arch from Thomas Roland. This arch
was covered with pink Dorothy Perkins and was sub-
stantially built; under it one entered into the orchid
haJl. In the lobby on the upper floor, to the left, was
first a display di Lilium candidum in pots from W. W.
Edgar Co., Waverley. and placed on both sides, four
plants of Schizanthus. which well deserved the first

prize given. They were maniels of symmetry and
finish, shown by Thomas H. Proctor. Another splen-
did group nearby, exhibited by Mrs, C Wdd (W. C

Rust, gdr.) held a dozen Cyclamen which it would be
hard to beat for size and excellent qtiality; some of the
plants were fully 3ft. across. Next came a very neatly
arrangefi group of dwarf Polyaniha ( Sweetheart)
Roses from W. .A Manda, So. Orange, N. J., which
received first prize. They were Cecil Brunner, Geo.
Elgar, Baby and Marvel of Red; they were excep-
tionally well grown. At the far end of the lobby, Edwin
S. Webster t, Peter Amott, gdr.) had six plants each of
Cyclamen and French Hydrangeas, which were awarded
first prize-
Henry Perm made a fine exhibit of cut flower arrange-
miaits, as did Henry C Comley. and both received the
soc:et>''5 silver medaL

We are standing now at the head of the stairs leading
to the m:3m exhibition hall, and Vwitcrng over the many
exhibits below us we behold a wotidertul picture.
Poets talk and write about fairy lands and such things.
What do they know about fairy lands? Let them come
to Boston and look down from our standpoint and th^-
will either drop dead from sheer joy and admiration or
run about the rest of their lives to find words that will
express what they have se«i. But, never mind the
poets. The view is simply stiperb in all its riot o£ color
and form, and yet it is all so pleasing — ooe group and
arrai^ement melting into the other so that the mind
takes it in as a harmonious whole. Tall Cedars have
been used very freely in the back^o imds o f mo st
groups and their sombre dark green fits in wooderfully
with all the gay colors and relieves them, wfaile ^ the
same time putting a sort of damper on the most violent
shades, -\nother thing which does moch to give the
picture a quiet effect is the total absence of any and
all trade sigits. There are no posters or glaring an-
nouncements hitting one in the face. The hall is long
and of proportionate width; the height is also impos-
ing- and the light from overhead is pr:perly modified.

wnerous pillars, belonging to the overhead arches,
i] form many nooks here it is easy to make a dis-
j- look its best. Looking down upon our exhibits
f^ee right in front a fine Rose arbor flanked on either
i by tall, tapering pillars, with plenty of room for
.iking through all parts of the arrangement. This
libit is from the W. \V. Edgar Co. of Waverley. The
II and pillars are completely covered with Tausend-
t>en Koses, and the whole display appeals to the be-
iiler. Sidney Hoffman arranged the exhibit and it
f awarded tirst prize.
' Breck-Robinson Co. Roae Garden

eyond the exhibit just described we find one of the
an displays of the show; it is the Rose garden con-
feted by the Breck-Robinson Co. of Lexington. To
!■ a complete picture of this exhibit and to do it full
tice would take some paper; therefore, we will just
i,tion that the garden is a representation, truly re-
,l';d in scale, of a perfectly arranged and well exe-
ild plan of a Rose garden, such as any lover of
[cs may dream of. The garden is enclosed on all
ii> by a finely built gray stone wall which, in its
3 th, is divided into panels by stone pillars, supporting
n modeled stone caps. Each of the long sides has
mnces in two places, from the inside of the garden,
> Lose arbors covered with climbing Roses and giving
stful view over the Rose beds and the fountain and
n pool of water which is located in the middle of the
alen. There are four of these arbors or small Sum-
II houses, each with its seats on three sides and with
steps and balustrade leading up to it. Entering the
a en from its only entrance, we find ourselves in the
rtt terrace, as it is called, from which a few steps
:: through an entrance in a partition wall down into
Kjarden proper. This terrace is planted on each side
Eis walk, with hybrid perpetual Roses, the beds being
l.ered with sod. Going through the second entrance
■(.ire in the real garden which has in its middle for a
rt part of its length a pool of water. The pool is
tijof the main features of the garden, giving it an
St which cannot be reached in any other way. On
it r end of the pool, the water is supplied from the
Kth of a sculptured Triton and in the center of the
y we find a spurting fountain, electrically lighted,
.the farther end of the garden we ascend by a few
:e- to the rear or tea terrace, from which we can
I'' look the garden again in its whole length, the same
ii'om the front terrace. On the tea terrace we find
aies and chairs and tables, and if we are lucky,
)i thing on the tables. The garden is divided into
ir' beds, planted with Polyantha Roses, and a gravel
a leads on either side from terrace to terrace. The
IT. side of the walk is bordered by a handsome box
:f; and all the beds by closely cropped turf. Another
a' leads along the whole wall and is separated from
ii:-by a narrow bed of hybrid perpetuals. Climbing
0|5 are trained on the wall. The wall is hid from
lejutside by plantings of the appropriate sort of ever-
r«! s. This exhibit was awarded a gold medal and
a. ilanned and its execution supervised by Miss Mabel
6 Babcock, the able director of the landscape de-
ii; lent of the Breck-Robinson Nursery Co. It was
It; f the most interesting exhibits of the show. The
irn was 35ft. long and 24ft. wide.
nisli Rose Garden of Thomas Roland
T>mas Roland's English Rose garden was situated
?1 behind the garden just described. It was un-
)y,edly the greatest attraction of the whole exhibition,
ic ightly so. It occupied the whole width of the hall
(6 far end and stood out wonderfully against a
ic round of tall Cedars. The whole scheme of its
a* and construction was entirely different from the
ir;n just mentioned. The dimensions of the plot
zv 30ft. by 30ft. and the garden was enclosed by a
aful and yet solid looking balustrade. There was
1 j trance from the front and a wide gravel walk led
I : a few steps from which a beautiful designed and
n'-ucted pavilion was reached, whose noble columns
idently curved roof were patterned after some an-
;n Greek or Roman temple. A path led from the
ai, walk on either side all around the garden, far
o'h from the balustrade to give room for a bed
pses and a wide border of grassy turf. Between
e'.vo walks were placed, symmetrically, the mafiy
iioi Roses, all resting in a carpet of sod. These
d.'.vere planted with hybrid perpetuals or hybrid tea
of more than 50 varieties and it is simply impos-
:o describe the effect produced as the plants were
ir fullest stage of development and beauty. The
)n and its two wide wings with their columns were
ly covered and overspun with dark red Ex-
" and Paul's Scarlet Climber Roses which showed
anderfuUy against the soft yellow of the wood-
The balustrade, surrounding the whole garden,
overgrown with pink Dorothy Perkins, among
lii] in the proper places were planted the white va-
:tj giving a soft and subdued effect. This Rose gar-
n'as the delight of every visitor; the newspapers
:ri| daily filled with its praises; and it well
"' ed the $1000 award and the gold medal which it
sd.

Kurume Azaleas

Another notable exhibit consisted of the Kurume
.Azaleas from J. S. Ames, North Easton, which also
was awarded a gold medal. It is hard to imagine a
more natural, quiet and peaceful scene than that repre-
sented by this display. Against a background of tower-
ing Cedars the glowing reds and crimsons and the soft
pastel shades and whites of the flowers showed off
equally well. The plants, about 100 in number, were
arranged in the most natural way in a setting of tufa
rocks, covered with ferns and moss. The scene repre-
sented a retiring corner, abruptly rising on one side
and gently sloping to a level space on the other, in some
sylvan location in the woods. To heighten the effect,
a small stream of water was rippling down from some
considerable height over tiers of moss and lichen cov-
ered rocks, until it finally found its level in the flower
embanked pool at the foot of the cascade. It was just
like stepping from the humming life of the city into a
cool, quiet and restful retreat somewhere out in the
woods. These Kurume Azaleas have now been shown
in Boston for the second time and the interest in the
beautiful plants has not abated. A number of dwarf
evergreens were interspersed with the Azalea plants,
making the effect of a woodland nook still more ap-
parent.

Miscellaneous Exhibits

Adjoining the Azalea display was a group of plants,
staged for effect, from Fred Palmer, Brookline. It
covered 130 sq. ft. and won first prize. It contained a
collection of greenhouse and flowering plants and was
beautifully set up. The harmony of colors and the
arrangement of the foliage plants left little to criticize.

A collection of Baby Ramblers and standard Roses
from Thomas Roland also made a good showing nearby.

A large plant of Rhododendron Schlippenbachii was
awarded a silver medal. This Rhododendron was shown
by Thomas E. Proctor; it is absolutely hardy in the
most exposed situations, having come from Manchuria
and Japan. The flowers are not very large, but numer-
ous, and of a fine blush pink color.

The Rhododendrons Pink Pearl from James Marl-
borough, which took a silver medal, were the best ever
seen in this hall. They were densely covered with
large flowers of superb color and extra size.

E. A. Clark (Wm. H. Golby, gdr.) showed a fine
group of foliage and flowering plants, covering 150
sq. ft. Conspicuous in this group were some well-grown
standard Geraniums, 5ft. tall, and some plants of the
Fuchsia corymbiflora, also some fine Nemesia strumosa
Suttonii. A number of Baroness Rothschild Roses
were extra good.

Miss Louisa Hunnewell, a Fine Rhododendron

Near this last group, Walter Hunnewell (T. D. Hat-
field supt.), Wellesley, showed a large collection of
Ramblers, among which we find Hiawatha, Golden
Shower (seedling from Madame Treves), Baby Tau-

sendschoen. Wedding Bells, Bonny Prince and Elena.
He also had a fine lot of his own seedling Rhododen-
dron "Miss Louisa Hunnewell," which is not yet in com-
merce. This is probably one of the finest Rhododen-
drons in existence, particularly as to its distinctive
character. The flowers arc very large and in describ-
ing their color one must think of those shades of intense
yellow and orange, which are sometimes observed in
the sunset after a storm or in the flickering embers of
a hardwood fire, when you sit before it, smoking your
pipe.

A very large and well staged group of flowering
and foliage plants was shown by Cornelia Warren
(Henry Steward, gdr.). In this group were a number
of excellent specimens of Azaleas, some of them 5ft.
through, monster plants of Genistas, etc. It also con-
tained Rhododendron Pink Pearl, French Hydrangeas,
Acacias, Schizanthus and Buddleias. Altogether it was
one of the best groups of its class.

Cut Roses

In the upper hall were shown cut Roses and orchids.
The Roses, all told, were of excellent quality, good
judges pronouncing them fully as good as those shown
at the last New York show. There was good compe-
tition among the foremost growers of New England,
and the way the flowers were shown, in tall vases, sur-
rounded by white enameled wicker work, was much to
their advantage. The vases of 50 blooms, shown in
every variety and by every exhibitor, were about all
that could be asked for, and it must be noted that the
flowers held up extremely well until the end of the show.

Edward Towill, Roslyn, Pa., showed the only nov-
elty— "American Legion," a Rose of livelier shade than
American Beauty. On Friday the class of 300 sq. ft.
was put up by two competitors, A. N. Pierson (Crom-
well Gardens) and Thomas Roland. The latter was
awarded first prize and also captured the silver cup
offered by the Garden Club of America, as well as the
silver cup from the Garden Club of the North Shore
for the best Rose on exhibition — Hadley. The exhibits
for Friday were staged in wonderfully fine fashion.
Huge vases, up to 7ft. in height, were used by both
exhibitors for some of the varieties. Thomas Roland
used earthen vases of choice designs exclusively, while
the Cromwell Gardens made use of some handsome
baskets of monster size. Both displays were set off by
well placed palms, Cibotiums and Boston ferns, so that
the general effect was more than pleasing to the public.
Orchid PlanU

The orchid exhibits were the best ever staged in the
hall; not only in number but the varieties shown were
more numerous than at any previous time and the qual-
ity of the plants and flowers shown was of the very
best. The staging of the exhibits also was most care-
fully done, even though no new stunts were attempted.
A. C. Burrage, who made a most extensive display,
used the center stage, which he converted into a natural

Notes from Abroad

Easter has come and gone. It was not
a very cheery festival in Great Britain
from an atmospheric point of view, but
still not sufficiently unfavorable to
daunt the great array of amateur garden-
ers who would be seen all over the coun-
try, on back yard and allotment, exercis-
ing brain and muscle to induce the more or
leas stubborn earth to bring forth her
fruit in due season. Although much, on
the dry side everywhere, the country-
aide has a promising appearance; the
Winter Wheat coming up strongly and
the soil being in good condition for agri-
cultural operations generally.

In the Northern and Western districts
of France, however, the absence of rain
this Winter has almost taken the form of
a drought, and certain crops, notably
Broccoli, are beginning to suffer. It ia
hoped that the drying winds, with more
or less frost every day, which prevail at
present, will soon give way to milder and
moister conditions. Contracts for

Squashes of various kinds have been made
this year on a considerable scale in this
district.

Business between Western and Central
Europe shows signs of suffering on ac-
count of the serious political differences
which have recently arisen. This is re-
gretable, from all points of view, and it
is to be hoped that wiser counsels will
soon prevail among those who guide the
destinies of nations.

The wholesale selling season has now
practically reached its termination, which
is an event generally very well marked,
but the retail houses are still busy, and
will be for some time. We are all glad
when the period of rush and long hours
comes to an end, though the seedsman in
these days is a busy man all the year
round and has not to look forward, like
his predecessor a generation or two back,
to a period of comparative inaction dur-
ing the Simimer months.

New York Seed Trade

New York seed stores this week are
throughout the day, but particularly dur-
ing the luncheon hour, scenes of great ac-
tivity. Every employee in each of the
stores who has any experience at all in
counter salesmanship, is put at the work
of waiting upon customers, and for all
of that there are constantly groups of
people at the counters waiting for their
turn. In the late afternoon you see men
darting into the store anxious to grab
as soon as it is turned over to them the
bundle of seeds which they ordered in
the morning, and then they hurry out
again for the ferry and the trains.

If you stand in one of the larger stores
at luncheon time just to see how things
are going on, you will soon get a touch
of the enthusiasm that prevails and of
the hurry and rush and at the same time
feel like congratulating yourself that you
are not in the long waiting line. Be-
sides the counter trade, mail orders also,
considering that this is about mid-April,
are large. 1

The Trend o« the Trade j

As regards how things have been going '
this season in main lines, a well informed
seedsman says: "Tuberoses started out
with sales at the heavy contract price, but
these prices could not be maintained and
fell off one-half, and Tuberose cleaned
up well on this lower price level. The
demand for Gladioli has exceeded the ex-
pectations of even the strongest optimist.
Asparagus roots have been in short sup-
ply the entire season. Field seeds are
meeting with a larger demand than ever;
this is especially true of such seeds as
Clover, Timothy and other grass seed and

is attributed to the lower price levels
which those seeds have now readied. On
the other hand the demand for Potatoes
has fallen off largely though the prices
are only one-third to one-half of those of
last year. With lower priced labor avail-
able, Onion sets have been planted by
market gardeners as freely as last year.
This applies to the white sets only, the
colored sets having moved sluggishly."

At Max Schling's seed store, 24 W. 59th
St., Manager Carl Giessler says that they
have never been so busy before and that
they are all working to the limit try-
ing to keep up with orders. The demand
for the annual seed catalog was so heavy
that they have had to get out the second
edition for distribution over the counter
and on request by mail. Mail orders,
says Mr. Giessler, continue to be par-
ticularly heavy and the demand for Bose
bushes, Lilies and Gladioli is unprece-
dently large.

At Vaughan's Seed Store, Manager
Hartland reports that sales are increasing
each week and that last week's sales
were the largest of the season so far.
This week all the windows on both the
Barclay and Church st. sides of the store
have been thrown open and stocked with
perennial plants and shrubs to meet the
large Spring demand which this store us-
ually has for such stock. When the sea-
son for this hardy stock expires, bedding
stock, in variety will be placed on sale in
the same way. Mail orders are still com-
ing in in large numbers and this store is
booking orders for Fall delivery of
French bulbs and Lilimn formosum. Its
stock of Gladiolus and Tuberose is prac-
tically cleaned up and the New York store is
obliged to call on the Chicago store for
help on shortages.

John Bodger of John Bodger & Sons
Co., Los Angeles, Calif., and Mrs. Bodger,
sailed for Europe on Tuesday of this week
on the S. S. Aquitania.

Chicago Seed Trade

Vaughan's Seed Store is showing fine
blooms of new Amaryllis from its green-
houses at Western Springs. There is also
on exhibition in the store some splendid
stalks of Lilium formosum showing from
ten to twelve blooms and buds to the
stalk. According to Carl Cropp the de-
mand for flower seed is ahead of recent
years. Mr. Crop remarked that this is a
bad year for seedsmen; five men promi-
nent in the seed trade have died during a
period of four weeks, Walter H. Harnden,
president of the Harnden Seed Co., Kan-
sas City, Mo., being the last to pass away
on April 5.

1. Eosnosky of the American Bulb Co.
has returned from a very successful trip
through the Southwest. Hardy Lilies are
reported to be selling well, especially L.
album, owing to a shortage of cold stor-
age giganteums. A. Miller is expected
back from the Coast on Tuesday.

Ed. Goldenstein reports a continued
heavy demand for Gladioli bulbs at
A^aughan's Seed Store; some varieties are
now becoming scarce. He reports many
inquiries coming in regarding French and
Holland bulbs for Summer and Fall de-
livery Ed. made the hit of the evening
at the Florists Club meeting Thursday
when he grabbed the big vase of Formo-
sum Lilies his house had on exhibition at
the meeting, and thrust them into the
arms of Mayor Thompson as he was leav-
ing the hall as a token of his apprecia-
tion of all the good things he said about
the florists.

The W. W. Barnard Co. are doing some
good advertising in all the city papers.
Their store was crowded all the past week
to its fullest capacity. Manager R. B.
Howe says the demand for all seeds is
well in advance of past seasons and, with-
out any unforseen interruption, will be
one of the best on record.

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

From all sections of
the country it is grati-
fying to hear reports
of Easter business be-
ing the greatest ever,
with shortage of stock
in many sections, es-
pecially in Lilies. Op-
timism again won out
and take it from us
Easter in 1922 will still
go one better. A long
way to look ahead, no
doubt, but the success-
ful business man plans
for the future. Don't

American Seed Trade Association
Gmvention

Hotel Statler, St. Louis, will be head-
quarters and meeting hall for the coining
convention of the Wholesale Grass Seed
Dealers and the American Seed Trade As-
sociation, June 22 to 24, nest. For ex-
hibition purposes the North Banquet hall
of the hotel opening on the lobby floor
has been secured and booths will will be
erected and rented at a moderate rental.
The booths are eight feet square and a
rental of $30 has been fixed for same.
This will include the erection of the
booths, supplying the tables and sheets to
cover same, and all other necessary equip-
ment excepting showcarda or printed
matter.

For those whose requirements do not
call for a booth a number of tables 2%ft.
X 6ft. have been set aside. Rentals for
these will be $15 for the duration of the
convention. The exhibits are in an ad-
vantageous place, being opposite the room
used for registration and headquarters
for the associations.

We are informed that the convention
committee seems willing to devote cue
evening as "Manufacturers' Night," to be
held in the exhibition room.

Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co.

A recent interview with H. E. Fiske,
vice-president and treasurer, followed by

a quick inspection of the contents of the
building of the Fottler, Fiske, Rawson
CJo., which house deservedly ranks
among Boston's leading seed members, re-
vealed the fact that so far as this par-
ticular house is concerned, under careful
planning and putting into use of every
portion of each floor to ceiling, an enor-
mous quantity of valuable stock can be
covered under the roof of an ordinary
four story building. An alley on each
side is of considerable assistance in that
more light is obtained than would be the
case were the building surrounded by
other structures.

The place is literally crammed from
roof to cellar, every inch of space being
utilized in an orderly manner to the best
possible advantage in that, beginning on
the top where bagged stocks are in evi-
dence, the descent to each floor is
marked by a division of these seed and
flower stocks into smaller and smaller
quantities until, on the store floor, ar-
ranged in thousands of receptacles, are
to be found the seed packets generally
called for by the counter trade, with the
result that the personal customer can
have his requirements supplied in the
shortest possible time. Every device is
employed so as to make the least lost
motion in filling mail and counter orders.
A notable feature on the ground floor is
the poultry department which, since its
recent extension, is making satisfactory
headway.

Cellars are stored with fertilizers and

related material, in addition to which we
found here two refrigerating brine cooled
chambers for storage of dormant roots,
Roses and bulbs generally. Mr. Fiske
pronounced this system of cold storage
eminently satisfactory inasmuch as a turn
of a valve would speedily increase or de-
crease the temperature. The brine is
piped into the cellar and affords one of
the cheapest methods of refrigeration ob-
tainable. Just across the alley is the
shrub and nursery stock department of the
company, which, during the season, is
kept replenished daily. But a short dis-
tance away is the company's storage ware-
house, with a railroad spur, saving cart-
age from railroad depots.

One feature of the office work should
not be omitted, this is the list of names
of customers covering as well the trans-
actions had with these same people ex-
tending over the period of years in which
they had been doing business with the
company. These carded lists occupy a
large space and we noticed that the names
of Massachusetts predominated over all
others to a considerable extent. This
progressive seed concern is doing a huge
volume of business which is shown to be
yearly on the increase. With some
knowledge of inventories the writer re-
marked to Mr. Fiske that he would not
like to have the task of making out the
annual inventory.

All in all this busy hive is a wonderful
example of what can be accomplished in
volume of business in close quarters.

Exports of Seeds from Holland

By Conaul General George E. AnderaoD, Rotterdan
Present indications are that the seei
growing industry of the Netherland
which had assumed large proportions be
fore the war is resuming its extent an'
vitality, especially in North Holland ani
Groningen. The trade in 1920 was gooc
and while the total exports were considei
ably less than during the preceding yea
the decrease was due almost wholly t
the fact that in 1919 there was an at
normal demand in Germany for seed Pea
and Beans and miscellaneous garden seed
to restock the country after the waj
There were decreased exports of Care
way seeds to the United States and Grea
Britain because of overstocking the yea
before. The exports of yellow Mustar
seed to the United States were also muc
smaller. Most other important item
showed increases.

The exports of seeds from the Nethe:
lands in 1920 were as follows:
Linseed:

For sowing $974,2:

Other 131,7:

Rape seed 218,0-

Poppy seed 243,6:

Caraway seed 470,51

Mustard seed:

Brown 107,21

Yellow 168,6'

Grass seed 117.7'

Clover seed 135,1.

Seed peas and beans 205,8:

Other garden seeds 586,7'

Flower seeds 15'7,7:

Beet seed 221,8:

All other seeds 191,3:

Total S3.930,5

About 75 per cent of the Linseed wei
to Ireland, Germany takes about half ar
Great Britain a sixth of the Rape see
while the United States and Belgiu.
divide the remainder of the exports. Tl
United States imported about 85 per cei
of the total exports of Poppy seed, whi^
of the exports of Caraway seed Germar
took 35 per cent, the United States '. \
per cent, Austria 18 per cent, ai
Czechoslovakia and Great Britain tl
rest. The United States takes a fa
amount of the yellow Mustard sc-
though the trade fell off great^ la
year. The brown Mustard seed goes (
most entirely to Belgiimi, Denmar
France, and the rest of north Euroi
Great Britain has taken most of t
Grass seed and north Europe has ii
ported the rest, though the United Stat'
has imported a fair amount of both Grs-
and Clover seed. Germany has import*
most of the seed Peas and Beans, a -
the great falling off in this trade h
been due to the stocking of Germany ti
1919. The United States has been tu
best customer in miscellaneous gard*
seeds, with Germany a fair second, t )
rest of the exports being scattered oi
north Europe. The United States talt
about 60 per cent of the flower seeds &
Great Britain most of the remaind-i
while the United States takes 75 per o I
of the Beet seed and Italy most of 1 '
remainder.

Small Tractors Favored in Englvl

The small tractor is apparently mak |
headway across the water. One_ ■« |
known Rose grower and breeder writes )
one of the trade journals in high praise
his Beeman cultivator which, he says, d i
all the work of a good horse and bet) ■
It is used even among newly budded stoj |
in place of the usual hand digging, wi ■
it does all the harrowing after the i
plow has broken up the ground. Furtl I
it does all his wood sawing and pumpj
He declares he would not be without
under any consideration.

Rough on Rab

The British authorities are out ai
rats in real earnest. The law as it i
stands, is that everyone is liable t<
penalty of £5 for harboring rats or D
and, if charged with a second offense,
fine may be increased to £20.

Lecturers are going the rounds to
tract the attention of the public to
menace of rata as disease carriers ;
food destroyers and, when due pubUt
has been given to the subject, no,°J
will be shown to people who negieci
fight the rat plague. i

Soil

No matter liow busy you may be just
ow, you shouldn't overlook the supply
I" (Hiil you will want to fill the benches

ith lis soon as the bedding stock makes
oom tor the Chrynanthemums and, a lit-
Ic later for the Carnations, Those who
in get into a field or rather pasture

ith go()d turf, and obtain the top about

spade deep, pile it up, a hiyer about

ne foot in thiekness followed by one of

ell rotted manure 4in. or Sin. thick, and
. layer of soil again, will have by June
, idea! material to fill the benches, espe-

ully so if they can turn the pile over

'veral times. Such soil is full of life
ad fiber and almost anything will grow

1 it, and if it consists of rather heavy
;>am, there is nothing to beat it. Figure
;,it what you may want and locate it;
■le sooner the better. Have it on hand

ben wanted; avoid having to hunt for
t when you want to fill the benches.

Candytuft

j A good strain of Candytuft sown in
jiws outdoors will mnke fine cut flowers
;id, to have plants with long stems, you
;iould sow early. Sow a second lot about
le middle or end of July for late Fall.
,ike Sweet Peas and Centaureas so with
.indytuft, they all like cool weather in
vder to do well and while you can use
'iwers with short stems for design work,
'aen you can cut them with 12in. or 15in.
lems, they are more useful.

Gypsophila elegans

Sow now seed of Gypaopliiia elegans
outdoors! it is one of the most useful
little annuals for boutpiets and corsages
during the Summer months. In order to
have plants to cut from during the next
iivfi or six months you should sow a row
or two of seed every ton days. A well
manured soil will give you longer stems
and better flowerH than is possible in
poor ground; an old hotbed or coldframe
is just the right place. As soon as a batch
of plants is cut down, spade over and
resow again in the same place.

Cannas and Caladiums

It ia still time enough to start Cannas
but if delayed much longer, you won't
have large sized plants to oSer by June 1.
However, it is surprising how everything
from now on does grow under glass, and
if you have good live eyes of Cannas to
start with and just a little bottom heat,
they will do more in the following four
weeks than was possible in the eight
previous ones. Everything jumps now if
given sun and water. The same holds
good with the Caladiums or Elephant Ears;
if you have neglected to start same you
can still do so and the more heat you
can give them to get under way, the
better they like it, and moisture as well.
For ordinary purposes, such as making
use of the plants for borders the smaller
sized bulbs are as good as the largest, in
fact better, for they are easier handled
and all grow into large enough plants.

Seedlings of Annuals

If you h;i\o ii coldt'i'aiiH' to .spare, why
not use it lor the sowing of some of the
annuals for which there is most call dur-
ing May and June? For Asters, Zinnias,
.Marigolds, Cosmos, Larkspur, Globe
Amaranth, Strawflowers, Stocks, Scabiosa,
('alendulas, Balsam and others, level the
surface nicely and sow in rows about 4in.
apart; if you don't sow too thick, the seed-
lings will have space enough to develop
into stocky little plants ready for plant-
ing out and there is always call for them
besides such plants as you grow in pots
or in the greenhouse. No harm is done
if you have a few left on hand. With
many retail growers, seedlings of an-
nuals pay better than almost anything else
in the bedding line according to the space
they take up and what it costs to pro-
duce them.

Petunias

The Petunias now well established in
2iAs can be shifted into 4s. Such as are
well advanced might be pinched back. If
you are short of plants, another lot of
cuttings can be placed into the sand.
Given a little shade, they will root in a
few days and grow into useful plants by
June. It is still time to sow another lot
of seed of the single sorts, such as the
giant fringed and Rosy Morn. There ib
always call for Petunias away up to July.
You may be sold out of Geraniums and

a ni(;e lot of Petunias may bring a good
price; they can be grown for much leas
than Geraniums, yet be sold for the same
price. If you don't want to sow seed,
you can root cuttings or purchase trans-
planted seedlings from the specialist. This
will save you time and labor; they are
offered cheap enough to make them profit-
able for you to handle.

Late Asters

Among the finest Asters we cut the
late branching sorts are the best. Those
who grow them for the wholesale market
don't always find them profitable, but the
retail grower should always try and
have a good sized batch of plants on
hand for September flowering- If you
don't sell all, there isn't much lost; they
pay for themselves in the show they make.
The present is a good time to prepare a
seed bed outdoors and sow the seed in
rows or broadcast to have plants ready
for planting into the field by the middle
of June, selecting a rainy day or week
for that purpose. You will find Ball's
White a grand late sort and, as the seed
is rather expensive, you want to be
careful with it and not waste it. An-
other later sowing can be made in about
a month from now. Instead of buying
mixed seed get the colors separate; white,
light pink and light lavender are the
main ones. A few red and deep purple
will do, for most people prefer the lighter
shades for decorative purposes.

I Azaleas After Flowering

f How do I treat Azalea indica after
'ooming to have them in good shape the

xt Easter? We have a number of nice
I ants, but not good shape; good heads,
■luld these be pruned to a good head
' d then planted out for the Simuner?

n the roots be cut back also — ^W. E. K.,
, 'la ware.

|— Cut back the most straggly growths
|d thoroughly harden off the plants in a
J 'me. Keep well syringed. If they
, ve been in the pots more than one
f.son shift into larger, using good sandy
! f mold. Be careful about mutilating
:■ )ts. When frost danger is past, plunge
;i:s in a moderately shaded place and
i quently syringe or spray throughout
y Summer. Bring inside before severe
^■st and treat as for new stock. For
iir purpose, it would be better to keep
I the pots. You would gain nothing by
J.nting out and might lose much.

Cyclamen Culture

\ few hints on handling Cyclamen to
1 ve them in by Christmas will be es-
«med.— R. M., S. C.

I— As seed must be sown in August for
lioming 15 to 18 months later, it fol-
Irs you will need to buy strong young
1 nts. Avoid cheap stock as they are
iely to be of a poor type and small in
V; bargain. Plants now should have six
t eight leaves and be almost ready for
<i. pots. Buy of a reliable firm; poorly
I'lked stock will prove disappointing as
e.;ry leaf lost now means a bad setback.
It in a mixture of good loam, sand and
l]f mold, not more than one-fourth the
1 ter, and avoid it like poison if it comes
flm Pine woods. A little well rotted
r'nure may be added. Pot firmly so that
lib is half out of soil. Keep close for
a ew days in a lightly shaded house and
s: inkle frequently. Grow through the
& nmer in frames or a low cool house.
I| ; water carefully, but spray two or
tee times daily. Protect from hot sun-
E'lae, hut avoid dense shade.

Jihift into flowering pots as soon as
r|ts need it. Give plenty of space and
tin the plants aroimd frequently, Cycla-
nji only thrive when fussed and petted.

Watch closely for aphis and thrips; these
pests will soon ruin plants. At no time
run the temperature above 60deg. with
fire heat; strive to keep the plants cool.
Cyclamen will not stand forcing, and if
you can get along with 55deg. after the
firing season starts, the plants will be all
the better for it. Eternal vigilance and
the exercise of common sense is what
wins with Cyclamen. Liquid cow manure
and soot water help when once pots are
full of roots, but avoid feeding until it
is necessary. Size of pots for flowering
is influenced by way the plants grow.
Some will never need more than a 4in.,
and a Gin. is about the limit for Christ-
mas Hoovering.

A Giant Yellow Freesia

A yellow hybrid Freesia named Daffo-
dil with individual flowers two inches
across and with ten or more blooms and
buds on a stem was recently exhibited be-
fore the General Bulb Growers Society of
Holland. The stems were 2ft. long and
the color of the flowers of the finest yel-
low, deepening to orange at the edges.

Cyanide Fumigation

I am troubled with white fly and would
like to use cyanide gas. My houses are:
No. 1, three-quarter span, 50ft. x 20ft.,
13ft. at ridge, 9ft. 6in. at back, 6ft. in
front, planted to Tomatoes; No. 2 is 41ft.
Sin. X 30ft., 13ft. 4in. to ridge, 4ft. 6in. at
sides planted to Beans.— W. M., N. Y.

—Your No. 1 house has about 10,000ft.
cubic capacity; No. 2, about 11,000. Allow
for each 3000 Cubic feet, 1% ozs. pure
sodium cianide, 2^ ozs. sulphuric acid,
and 31^ ozs. of water. Use at least three
vessels in each house. Be sure to pour
the acid into the water not vice versa
and when all ready drop the cyanide
wrapped in soft paper into the dishes.
Get out of the house quickly, never at-
tempt to pass a dish after the cyanide
has been dropped. Choose a quiet, dry
evening when daylight is going. Avoid
watering just prior to fumigation. Lock
the doors after starting the operation,
and allow no one in the houses until the
ventilators have been open for a while.

Peach Trees Decreasing

According to inquiries made by J. K.
Shaw of the Massachusetts Agricultural
College, Amherst, the area down to bear-
ing Peach trees has greatly decreased in
recent years. The reports so far received
by him suggest that the area is about
50 per cent below what it was five years
ago, and he estimates that for the w^hole
coimtry the decrease will range around 30
per cent. No reason for the decrease is
given but we may assume that dead trees
are not being replaced, owing to borer
ravages and other causes.

Changing Heating System

I have a house i25ft. x 45ft., with 7ft.
side walls, 3ft. of concrete, 4ft. glass, 21ft.
to ridge, running East and West, with a
10ft. leanto on the north side. It is
now heated with steam, but would like
to change it over to hot water. There is
a Sin. flow down through the center of
the house, about 7ft. below the ridge with
fourteen 1^ in. returns placed in the walks.
There are four iVi returns in the leanto.

The boiler is a Furman sectional with
a grate surface 48in. x 30in.; the top of
the boiler is about a foot below the level
of the greenhouse. Would like to leave what
]iiping there is in the house as it is. Ex-
pect to place larger returns across the
east end. How much more pipe will be
needed and where best placed (would use
a circulator) to keep the temperature
60deg. at zero weather? It is exposed
to west winds, boiler room on the east
end. ' T. J. S., N. Y.

— I have assumed that the width of the
house you give as 45ft., includes the
width of the leanto, making the total
width of greenhouse and the leanto 45ft.

If this is correct, I figure that the 35ft.
wide greenhouse with both gable ends
glazed and exposed, has equivalent to
about 6250 sq. ft. of exposed glass sur-
face, and the leanto house 2250 sq. ft.

If the house is of ordinary sound con-
struction and tightly glazed with double
thick glass and heated by hot water, I
figure that the 35ft. wide compartment
would require 2080 sq. ft. of radiation,
and the leanto compartment 750 sq. ft.
This amount of radiation should give a

temperature of from 55 to 6Ddegs. at
night when mercury outside is at zero.
The 3in. main and the 14 lines of l^Ain.
pipe, at present in the large compartment,
equals 857 sq. ft. of radiation, and the
four lines of l^/4in. pipe in the leanto
equals 217 sq. ft. of radiation, from which
you will see that an additional 1223 sq.
"ft. of radiation will be required in the
large compartment and 533 sq. ft. in the
leanto.

Should you decide to change to hot
water heat, I would advise using 2in. pipe
for the additional radiation required, and,
bear in mind, that 160 lineal ft- of 2m.
pipe is equal to 100 sq. ft of radiation.

If a circulator is to be used, I would
advise installing a Sin. return main, and
connect the present and additional radia-
tion into this main and add two addi-
tional 3in. flow mains. The highest point
of the mains or coils must be air vented,
and the expansion tank should be placed
one or two feet above the highest pomt of
the heating system.

The additional radiation can be dis-
tributed throughout the house to best suit
the arrangement of the benches.

"Nymphsea odorata vs. The Rose"

Prompted hy on Editorial Remark on page

738, March 26.
Thou foolish one we hear thee say,
Nympha;a as Queen can ne'er hold sway.
To sit on throne, no flower so fit
As fragrant Rose, you must admit.

Nay friend, the Eose would never do.
The fact we would recall to you.
Queen qualities are feminine.
They never arm with prickly spine.

Then, if all colors you require _

Nymi^haea will grant your hearts desire.
Yellow and pink, red, white and blue
With varied shades she brings to view.

Your favorite thus lags far behind
A true blue Rose you cannot find,
Crown the Rose King, to the Nymphjea

wed,
No more discord, peace rule instead.

John Bodger & Sons Co. of Calif.

Jolm Bodger Sails ior Europe

On Tuesday, April 12, John Bodger,
president and founder of John Bodger &
Sons Co., Los Angeles, Calif., -w-ith Mrs.
Bodger and ilr. and Mrs. Edw. Becker
of Berkeley, Calif., sailed direct for
Southampton on the Cunard liner Aqui-
tania. The -writer had the pleasure of
spending an hour with him at his rooms
m the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York,
April 11, right before he sailed. This is
Mr. Bodger's first trip across since sis-
teen years ago this month. He is now go-
ing to celebrate his 75th birthday by
touring the seed growing centers
of Europe. He will first visit his boy-
hood home in Somersetshire, England,
where he began his career as a florist,
nurseryman and seedsman. For 30
years after his early marriage he catered
to a steadily growing trade and a still
more rapidly increasing family, until on
the advice of a well known London seeds-
man, who had visited San Francisco in
1880, he decided to dispose of his retail
business in England and start life over
again in California as a grower.

The year 1891 found him established
with his family in Ventura County grow-
ing flower and vegetable seeds on a scant
acre of poor ground. For the first ten
years the new enterprise had a hard
struggle for life. This is not strange, con-
sidering the fact that Mr. Bodger and his
sons were handicapped by scanty knowl-
edge of California farming conditions, by
adverse weather, and last but not least,
by insufficient funds. However, the whole
family put in their best efforts and Mr.
Bodger steadfastly fixed his hopes on that
success which his sanguine nature be-
lieved to be always just 'round the cor-
ner. Today his dreams have been abun-
dantly realized— one might sav literally a
thousandfold— as the firm of which, he is
still an active member has expanded
from a one acre plot to considerably over
a thousand acres of rich soil, employing
scientific methods and the most uptodate
machinery. This large acreage which
centers about Los Angeles is now recog-
nized as a reliable source of supply, not
only for the United States, but for coun-
tries all over the civilized globe.

The firm grows standard varieties of
flower and vegetable seeds, but Mr. Bod-
ger's personal favorites among the flow-
ers are Asters and Zinnias, and for the
past ten years, working in conjunction
with his sons, he has not only perfected
the older varieties of Asters and Zinnias,
but has created many entirelv new types'
of these and other flowers.

Perhaps the most known among their
Asters is the new American Beauty type,
notable for its long stems and so most use-
ful for cut flower purposes. Mr. Bodger
says of it that it is the longest bloomer
known among the Asters; of course to
maintain this bloom one has to keep cut-
ting the flowers. Among the Zinnias Mr.
Bodger showed us pictures of Zinnia Vic-
tory, quilled; this is a most svmmetrical
bloom: the back petals are distinctly dif-
ferent in color from the front ones and
the flowers come in various shades. An-
other picture of Zinnia Picotee attracted
attention; in this the petals come in vari-
ous colors with distinct markings on their
tips. The Dahlia Flowered Zinnia is
probably the most distinct among all the
Zinnias raised by the Bodger Co., and it
is stated by those who know that this new
type is as important an advance in the de-
velopment of the Zinnia as was the Spen-
cer selection in the history of the Sweet
Pea. In its evolution, this flower so vel-
vety in texture and so charming in color
range, has risen it from its humble place
as a plebian in "Grandma's garden" to
become a proud patrician in the exclu-
sive flower shops. This season 200 acres
are being devoted to Aster and Zinnia
seed raising alone.

Another set of interesting photographs
shoT\'n the writer showed types of Cosmos,
of which the double Cosmos, the double
crested Cosmos (Anemone flowered) and
the Real Double Cosmos furnish notable
examples of the progress made in this
particular flower. The first seed from
which these types sprang came from Aus-
tralia, then slightly crested, and from
these the present perfection has been ob-
tained. They certainly are wonderful
flowers and, when better known in the
East, should find admiring purchasers by
the thousands. The Bodgers are endeav-
oring to improve their earliness of bloom

which is all that is now required to make
them a leader.

The Bodger concern is one of wholesale
seedsmen and contract growers, mainly
of flower seeds. At El Monte, 15 miles
east from Los Angeles, it has been fortu-
nate enough to secure some 300 acres of
land which is described as friable loam
and on which, wonderful to relate, no ir-
rigation is called for, the soil below show-
ing moisture at the slightest turn of the
cultivator. This land is valued at §1000
to §1200 per acre and such as it has had
to rent, the firm pays for at the rate
of SlOO per acre. It is too cold and wet
for deep rooted crops such as Ten Weeks
Stock, but all shallow rooted plants, such
as Asters, do splendidly. It is only since
1917-18 that the company came in pos-
session of this property.

In all, practically some 1000 acres are
under cultivation, nearly all of which is
given over to the raising of flower seeds,
a large enough area, one would think, to
grow all the flower seeds wanted in this

Representative Bacharach, who has in-
troduced a straight turnover tax of 1 per
cent -with restrictions, which, he believes,
will meet all the objections which have
been expressed against such a tax, stated
to the Washington correspondent of The
Florists' Exchange that in his belief
much of the opposition to the sales or
the turnover tax has been expressed in
behalf of the farmer and small store-
keeper, but as in his proposed measure all
persons doing a business of less than §2000
per month shall be exempt, and all indi-
viduals, firms and corporations shall be
entitled to the same exemption, the oppo-
sition growing out of the contention that
imder the sales tax the poor man will
bear the burden is well met.

wide world: but this is not so, as is
evidenced by the fact that thousands of
acres throughout the country and particu-
larly in California are being devoted to
similar purposes. In cultivating this im-
mense seed growing farm eight tractors
are used : three of these of the cater-
pillar type, are respectively of 4o, 60 and
90 horse power. Five others, rotaries, or
wheeled tractors, are of various horse
powers.

Evidencing his pride in one particular
possession, before producing his big album
of flower photographs raised on the farms,
Mr. Bodger showed us the pictures of two
of his grandsons. Jack Bodger, Jr., age
three and a half, and Tom Bodger, Jr.,
a trifle older, both splendid examples of
what California climate does for young-
sters.

John Bodger expects to remain abroad
for fully a year and to visit every coun-
try in Europe which contains seed grow-
ing establishments of merit so as to de-
termine for himself just "what is new
under the sun." Business at Los Angeles
will Tun along as usual under the able
supervision of his sons, Walter Bodger,
vice-president: John C. Bodger, secre-
tary, and Tom. M. Bodger, superintend-
ent. Our portrait of the three members
of the firm was taken just before Mr.
Bodger started for Xew York, via New
Orleans, in which city he had a grand
reception, and was presented with a mag-
nificent vase of Roses and other flowers
by the Reuters of that city. Himdreds
of friends in the seed trade tender their
best wishes for a pleasant journey and a
safe return.

Senator Reed Smoot of Utah also has
a "Simplicity Tax" measure which he is
introducing in the Senate. At this stage
it is needless for The EscHA^-GE to go
into particulars of this proposed law as
undoubtedly the daily papers will play
up tax reform tremendously while it is
under discussion. It is the duty of every
reader to follow up these several tax
propositions and to contribute by every
means in his power toward producing a
measure that, while financing the coun-
try's needs, will bear evenly upon all the
population, as in this way and in this way
only will it be possible to make a spee(^
return to normal.

Tlie excess profits tax, while on the
face of it falling exclusively on the more
wealthy corporations, has actually in the
past increased the prices of certain com-
modities to the consumer, it is stated, over
23 per cent.

Metric System Again

A bill providing for the adoption of
the metric system of weights and measures
within a period of ten years, and its use
in all transactions where weights and
measures are involved, was introduced by
Congressman Fred A. Britton of Illinois.
In announcing the introduction of the
measure, Mr. Britten pointed out that,
with the adoption of this system by the
Japanese diet, this country and Great
Britain were the only major powers that
have not made it their standard of weights
and measures. More than one hundred
leading national organizations are in favor
of the change, he declared.

Flowers in Congress

Washington is a very lively pla. »
this week with the opening of Congre
And, speaking of the opening, centers a ■
tention on the fact that more than ( )
members appeared on the floor of tl :
House on Monday with white Carnatioj ;
in their buttonholes. These Camatioi ;
came from the Botanic Gardens and we: '=
sent, one to each Congressman, to the o ■
flees of the legislators. Miss Alice J '
Robertson of Oklahoma, the only woma i
member of Congress at this session, a -
peared on the floor with her arms lade i
with red Radiance Roses and Lily of tl ■
Valley. The Roses were later pinned i
the coat lapels of friends on the floor (
the House, and there was a certain rivak
among some of the members of the Prei
Gallery to secure one of the blooms.

Sales-Tax Legislation

It is quite likely that the Senat
Finance Committee will take up the var
ous sales-tax measures that are pendin
before Congress within a day or two. Tex
tative plans at this time are for con
mencing hearings April 18. Senator Pei
rose stated to The Floeists' Exchajtg
correspondent that it is the desire of tb
Finance Committee to give ample oppo:
tunity to both friends and opponents c
this legislation to state their views, bt
effort will be made to conclude them a
soon as possible.

Chairman Haugen of the House Agr
cultural Committee has introduced a bi
to bring within the terms of misbraudin
in the food and drug law deceptive an
misleading containers when quantity o
contents, quality, size, kind or origin i
misrepresented. Penalties would appl
where the information upon the wrappe
or label did not coincide with the actua
contents.

Foreign Seed Dumping

The dumping of garden and vegc
table seeds and other like products upo:
our markets by foreign producers in an ei
fort to stifle competition from home pre
ducers, will be prevented if the biU mad
a part of the emergency tariff measur
becomes a law. The legislation in questio)
was originally known as the Fordne;
anti-dumping bill, but for the purpose o
securing quick action it was incorporate!
in the Young Emergency Tariff Bill, whicl
is destined to hold the Congressional stagi
until passed. The Fordney measure wa
adopted by the House at the last sessioi
of Congress, but was "turned down" bj
the Senate and died with all other bilb
with the sixty-sixth session.

Interesting to TraTellng Talesmen

Traveling salesmen in the floristSi'
lines will be much interested in the bil
introduced in the Upper House by Sena*
tor Kenneth McKellar, of Tennessee, whicbt
authorizes and directs the Interstate Com-
merce Commission to establish a system oi
mileage books to be issued to commercial
travelers at reduced rates by all railroad
companies. These rates would be at least-
20 per cent lower than the rates applying'
in general passenger traffic under the
terms of the McKellar bill. This ifl in
line with the present activities of the trav-
eling men's associations looking to the
issuance of mileage books "on the whole-
sale plan, at wholesale prices."

Daylight Saving

A number of bills have made their
appearance on both sides of the Capitol
proposing the return of daylight saving.
There is not a little agitation in favor of
this legislation. One bill in the House,
sponsored by Congressman Ackerman of
New Jersey, provides for the return of
the changed hours at 2 o'clock in the
morning of the last Sunday in April to
continue until a like hour the last Sun-
day in September.

Retribution Measure

Congressman Logan of South Caro-
lina, has introduced a bill in the House
providing that every claim for freight
overcharge or for loss of, or damage to
property and baggage while in the pos-
session of a common carrier, shall be ad-
justed and paid within forty days after
the tiling of such claim with the car-
rier's agent at the point of destination.
Failure to comply with this provision,
would subject the carrier to a penalty
of §50 to be recovered by the consignee,
although this amount would not be paid
imless the full claim of the consignee was
allowed by the court. E. A. D.

The Market

Tin- It-ast said about the market
conditions the past weok the better. The
weuthor was unseasonably warm and stock
of all kinds flooded the market, with tiie
demand that could do no more thtin use

until llif t-nd of the wwk. when the street
boys iuid their inIlin^:. Nearly all the
fltores iifid a weck-md siu'tijil sale of
Roses, but even tlu-n tlnTe was a surplus
let I.

The supply of Am. Buauty is on the in-
crease, and by making price concessions,
most of them were cleaned up daily. The
Carnation supply has been the largest in
years, and about three-fourths of the stock
18 white which, with a shoi-tage of funeral
work, caused a slut that could not be
moved at any price. It has been many a
day since Carnations were ofTered as clieap
as they have been the past week. An-
other item that sulYered was Sweet Peas.
Most of them arrived in poor condition
due to the warm weather and were not
fit to send out: consequently thousands
of them were dumped. The supply of
CaiUi Lilies is also too large, but Easter
Lilies were a little short of the demand.

Valley, orchids and Snapdragon were
the best property of the week, as they
cleaned up daily at list prices. The sup-
ply of bulbous stock is about over, with
the exception of outdoor stock and, from
present indications, that will not last very

lODg.

From the growers' standpoint it has
been a most unsatisfactory week, but here
is hoping that the worst is over and that
stock will tighten up some with a
better demand from now on.

Oddments of Xews

The Retail Florists Association
held their regular monthly meeting Thurs-
day evening, April 7, at the Seventh Ave.
Hotel with a good attendance. In the
absence of President Harper, whose moth-
I er was very ill, G. _P. Weaklen was in
> the chair. "Advertising" was the sub-
I ject, and Mr. Clark of the Pittsburgh Cut
' Flower Co. gave a very interesting talk
on "Advertising of Thirty Years Ago." He
' declared that B. F. Elliott was the pio-
neer advertiser in this district. He also
' gave A. W. Smith, Jr., credit for the suc-

■ cess of the A. W. Smith Flower Stores
I Co., through his advertising. At the

close of Mr. Clark's talk the association
voted to place a wreath on the grave of
Mr. Elliott on the anniversary of his death
each year in honor of the good he had

_ done the trade by his advertising when no
one else in the trade could see the use of
it.

Lancaster, Pa.

April 9. — We people who live in the
country can tell by a peculiar condition of
the atmosphere when to expect a storm in
the Summer. The storm comes along
black and threatening with its thunder
and lightning and every one seeks cover.
After it has passed, there may be a little
damage here and there, but an indes-
cribable feeling of quiet and peace settles
dovra over the country that makes every
form of life worth living.

As nearly as I can cipher it out, this
same peculiar condition is present today
in the business atmosphere, but without
the promise of an immediate storm — •
perhaps it would be better if we could
have the blow. Buying in the retail shops
for funerals has slackened up a bit, but
rot enough to cause any disturbance.

There is a sli^'llt in.reitrf,' in \\«- .l.-maud
for flowers for d.-i..rative ellV^ts at par-
lies and weddings and a very AumW fall-
ing off in the box trade, alt of which can
be easily accounted for without the aid
of a business expert.

The past week was the anniversary of
the Ilager Store. It celebrated its hun-
dredth year of business and the floral em-
bleujs sent ihem nuide the store prac-
tically a flower show. Jt added quite
a few dollars to the receipts of the
flower stores for the week.

Among the growers there is work and
then more work in the usual routine form.
The warm weather of the past week
tempted some growers to take chances
witli tender stock, but the promise of
frosts for toniglit again nuikes them wish
they had not taken the ehancc. Another
feature of the Summer weatht-i' we had
the past week is the fact that it makes
people forget that it is as yet quite some
time until Memorial Day.

The Rohrer's are bringing some very
finely grown 4in. pot Geraniums, well
branched and with two and three good
blooms per plant; these i-eadily bring 50c.

On Thursday, March 31, the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. held a visiting day at its greenhouses
at Bakerstown, Pa. The party met at the city store of the establishment at 11:00 a.m.. and in
spite of the inclement weather, there were 110 members present. A car was chartered on the
Butler Short Line which conveyed the people to Bakerstown. and they were there met with auto-
mobiles which conveyed them to the plant. Mr, Clarke presented the ladies with candy and
chewing gum and the men with cigarettes, Pittsburgh stogies and cigars. An orchestra furnished
music while en route to the plant. After an elaborate dinner. Mr. Kocher, superintendent and
foreman of the establishment, led the crowd through the vast range of greenhoi^ses. The above
picture was taken in one of the large Carnation houses. Considerable comment was made on the
wonderful plantings and the order in which all houses were kept. After viewing the greenhouses,
the members returned to the office at Bakerstown and were again presented with cigarettes, stogies
and cigars, after which they were conveyed to the special car on the Butler Short Line which
brought them back to Pittsburgh. It rained practically all day, but the crowd seemed to enjoy
the visit. All florists representing towns within a radius of 100 miles from Pittsburgh showed their
appreciation of the Company's hospitality and expressed the hope that another visiting daj' would
be arranged when the weather would be more agreeable.

April 12. — Last week there was a
perfect riot of flowers banked in the
wholesale houses and many stocks were
sold at a sacrifice. Heavy shipments of
Roses, Carnations, outdoor Valley and
Lilies simply piled up and were impos-
sible to move until Saturday, when the
great housecleaning shifted the accumula-
tion. With the advent of cool weather on
Sunday, stock has shortened up somewhat
and Roses this week are very short and
selling up close.

one would never have dared to anticipate
sucli a rush. Everyone was busy and
cleaned up in a way which did us all a
great deal of credit. The local F. T. D.
members through the suggestion of
Brother Bowers, combined to use a num-
ber of F. T. D. advertisements, which
helped promote the F. T. D. business in
geneial.

John A. Macrae brought in some of the
finest bulbs seen in this city in a number
of years, his Tulips being far ahead of any
others in the local market. On Saturday
evening the veteran florist, who does one
of the largest businesses here in bulbs,
couldn't scare up anything.

Good Easter Reports from All Sides

E. E. King of Attleboro brought in
a very fine lot of bulb stock in pans and
pots and cut flowers. He sold out com- ■
pletely and reports an exceptionally fine
business. Marshall of Fruit Hill Green-
houses did a very nice business bringing in
a crop of Carnations during Easter week
besides several thousand Calendulas and
Primroses. T. O'Connor, one of the best
known florists in the city completely sold
out, and as usual had so many orders
that he had to close his downtown store
on Saturday at noon. Johnston Brothers
report a very satisfactory business; be-
sides the usual large line they had some
fine Azaleas which sold well. The T. J.
Johnston Co. did a flourishing business
and are now about to move into their
new store further up on Washington st.
Bowers did an excellent business, par-
ticularly on corsages. McCarron on Hope
St. did a very fine business, indeed. The
Colonial Flower Shoppe went away be-
yond expectations, running short on
Easter Lilies and orchids. Lawrence Hay
of East Providence brought in a great
many Rose bushes, together with a large
amount of bulb stock which was cleaned
up early Saturday evening. The Budlong
Rose Co. had a heavy cut of Roses, selling
many thousand to the local trade. Joseph
Koppleman also did a fine business, his
Premier and Columbia Roses being a little
better than the ordinary and selling well
in advance. Everyone at his place is
now busy preparing for the biggest Me-
morial Day in the history of the florist.
Canning, on Smith st., did a very satis-
factory business, while F. Macrae Sons
brought in the finest Lilies seen here-
abouts. Albert Holscher supplies the lo-
cal market with Sweet Peas, while J. &
T. Parrillo and Frank Barker did their
best to keep the Violet situation up to
the standard. Leach reports a fine Easter
business as does Hoffman of Pawtucket.
Miss O'Connor of Hope st. also did a
fine Easter business, as did the Sweeney
ladies. Everyone is now busy getting
ready for a large Memorial Day trade.

Thomas Curley has offered for sale his
place, consisting of his home and green-
houses. He is probably one of the old-
est florists in the city. Davis of Paw-
tucket has leased the greenhouses of John
Johnston on Hope st., and is growing
Spring bedding stock. He also brought
in a large crop of bulb stock of excellent
quality for Easter. Henry Patry is now
employed by William A. Bowers, Florist.

creased so that they have decided to open

Much Business for G. and F. Club

The Montreal Gardeners and Flo-
rists Club at its monthly meeting on
April 4 had some very interesting business
on hand. One essay on hybrid Calceola-
rias was read by Bruce Scott who also
had some fine specimen plants on ex-
hibit. Messrs. Pascoe and Hill judged
them and awarded them 17 points. James
McKenna promised for the next meeting
a paper on new varieties of bulbs. A
member was unanimously expelled and his
name erased from the club books for con-
duct unbecoming a member, this on recom-
mendation from the standing committee.
The office of second vice-president thus
becoming vacant, T. Hill was elected to
fill that position. Bruce Scott was also
elected assistant secretary.

C. A. Smith as chairman of the stand-
ing committee asked Mr. McKenna for a
report of the Finance Committee, if such
had been formed, and a report of progress
of the proposed Chrysanthemum show to
be held in the Fall. In reply Mr. Mc-
Kenna said he had not been successful
and offered his resignation, stating, how-
ever, that he would work with anyone
who, had something more tangible to work
upon. The matter was left in the hands
of the executive committee and the meet-
ing then adjourned. Mount Royal.

The Season's Business

lu tlie roadjiistint'nt of cuniinoroial
conditions by a rt'turn to normalcy as
compared to the inllatcd post-war situa-
tion, the commercial plant trade in Cali-
fornia has suft'ered less than other divi-
sioDS of our rural induairioa. In fruit
trees the season opened auspiciously, and
it was the general opinion that all stocks
would move freely at gooa prices, Tho
downward tendency, luiwcvor, in the
prices ul >;aiilen, field and orchard crops
soon conuucuied to influence the market
for economic plants. The drop was not
severe, and tho cancellations of early Fall
orders wiis (in the opinion of the writer)
not nearly so severe as it is reported to
have been in some quarters east of the
Kocky Mountains. The slump in the
Kastern markets for California Lemons
(due to liea\T importations and increased
freight rates) put a damper on the sale
of Lemon, and in a lesser degree, on
Orange trees. Other varieties of tropical
fruit sustained a normal demand at good
prices. All deciduous stocks sold fairly
well, especially Grape vines and certain
varieties of the stone fruits. At the close
of the planting season there has, of course,
been a few clearance sales at reduced
prices.

One would naturally suppose that un-
der prevailing conditions the demand for
ornamentals would be more or less af-
fected; but, quite to the contrary, the
local demand has been good for A-1 stuff
and with fair prices. In a wholesale
way, there is a constantly growing de-
mand for much stock that has heretofore
been imported from Europe. Under pres-
ent conditions, there is every encourage-
ment for the exploitation and develop-
ment of a very large business in Cali-
fornia in the way of supplying the Ameri-
can trade with stock along this line.

Express Classification

In the matter of a change in the
classification of nursery stock, it is in-
deed refreshing to read in The Florists'
Exchange that the American Association
of Nurserymen is also agitating the sub-
ject. At the Fresno convention of the
California Association, the matter was
forcibly presented, with the California of-
ficials present and agreeing to lend their
influence in having the classification put
back to where it formerly stood, thus af-
fording a lower rating on nursery stock.
A second meeting was held with the ex-
press oflicials and the executive commit-
tee of the Association in San Francisco,
but nothing tangible resulted. As far as
the writer knows, the situation is simply
this: The American Railway Express
asked for a change in classification of
nursery stock from the Inter-State Com-
merce Conmiission which was allowed.
Obviously, having gained their point, they
are not disposed to recede. A letter from
the Inter-State Commerce Commission
called attention to the fact that when the
matter was up for consideration there
was no opposition; in other words, the
commercial plant industry was asleep at
the switch, wlien a strong protest at the
time would probably have saved the situa-
tion. Under the circumstances, it would
seem that the only course now open
would be to make a strong appeal to the
Inter-State Commerce Commission. The
suggestions of Lloyd C. Stark, president
[ of the American Association of Nursery-
men, for nurserymen to interest the De-
partment of Agriculture, and for indi-
vidual commercial plantsmen to interest
their representatives in Congress has
much to commend it. A united effort
along these lines brought to the attention
of the Inter-State Commerce Commission,
might bring about the desired result. The
situation is vital to the plant business
and hence, ought to be remedied.

A Big Convention and a Big Horti-
j cultuial Show

!_, The tenth annual convention of the
I California Association of Nurserymen
voted to hold its next annual convention
; at Pasadena in conjunction with the
Pasadena Horticultural Society's Pall
i lower Show. This has been found inex-
pedient for two reasons, namely, inade-
quate accommodations for holding an ex-
hibition of the dimensions of the one in
contemplation and also hotel facilities,
due to the fact that some of the Winter
resort hotels will be closed during the
bummer. In lieu of this, the executive

committee concluded to ffivitch the con-
vention city from Pasadena to Los An-
gele.i and change the dates from October
20-28, to October 20-2:t. In this connec-
tion. It 18 plea.snnt tn report that the
Pasadena Hi)rticultuial Society will fore-
go its annual Fall Flower Show and join
its efforts with the California Associa-
tion of Nurserymen in holding a big State
exhibition of economic and ornamental
products in Los Angeles during the period
of its eleventh annual convention. The
preliminary arrangements and plans that
at this writing are under consideration
give promise of the greatest display of
garden, field and orchard plants that has
ever been as.^i.'iublcd west of Chicago, in-
cluding a big ex-liihit under cover, and
an outdoor garden effect in growing and
blooming plants covering an area of
about seven acres. The support to the
enterprise already pledged, gives assur-
ance of success to the undertaking. Fur-
tlieir particulars will be given later in
The Flobists' Exchange.

Pest Control on Nursery Stock

From the California Department
of Agriculture comes information of ex-
tensive experiments in the treatment of
nursery plants to prevent the dissemina-

ot home winomaking. It ia estimated that
in Central California alone some 20,000
acres have been planted to vines this
year.

The growers of Date palms along com-
mercial lines in Southern California are
asking that the Government exempt the
trees from taxation for tlie first eight
years.

The Superior Dahlia Gardens, Figueroa
and Forty-ninth sts,, Los Angeles, have
issued a sumptuous catalogue of their
new Dahlias which ought to be in the
hands of all Dahlia specialists. Besides
full descriptions of its fine collection, the
book gives valuable information covering
the history of the Dahlia, its culture and
care, the classification adopted by the
American Dahlia Society, and some timely
suggestions on the care of cut blooms.
The illustrations are superb, and for the
most part, consist of full page halftones
of the latest introductions. It is an ef-
fort that reflects credit on its author,
Chas. F. Gutting, who certainly has at-
tained a pronounced success with Dahlias.

The R. M. Tuague Nurseries of San

graph on the "Principles and Practices

tion of insect pests. Nursery stock ia
one of the most prolific sources of new
infestations of pests yet no comprehen-
sive work has been done to lessen the dan-
ger by the development of effective
methods of sterilization. An extensive
series of experiments has been planned
covering the treatment of about a dozen
kinds of fruit trees by various processes
ranging from vacuum fumigation to hot
water treatment, and so arranged aa to
furnish data on the resistance of the
different kinds of trees to treatment, aa
well as the effect on the pests. The de-
tail work will be carried out by Harry
Stiner, at the State "Insectary," who will
devote his entire time to the project.
The Silva-Bergtholdt Nurseries of New-
castle have agreed to furnish several hun-
dred deciduous trees for the experiments.
It is hoped that other nurserymen will
donate Citrus and Olive trees for similar
purposes.

The topic for discussion at the
April 19 meeting of the San Diego Floral
Association will be "Roses," and that for

planting, culture, harvesting and market-
ing the crop. This firm grows the largest
assortment of Citrus and tropical stuff
in the West, many varieties being of a
purely ornamental value.

The Kavan Nurseries of San Bernar-
dino are large growers of Roses and other
ornamentals, who are forging ahead along
safe and sane lines. They report a good
jobbing trade in Rose plants this year.
The growing of certain plants heretofore
imported exclusively from Europe is a
growing factor in California, and this
business, in not a few instances, has al-
ready sent considerable greenhouse stock
to the Eastern markets, with more to fol-
low as production increases.

It IS the intention of the California
Association of Nurserymen to publish the
series of papers delivered by Prof. E. J.
Wickson, on the early history of the
craft in California, in book form some
time during the coming Summer.

The Armstrong Nurseries of Onatrio
report a good season's business. Nearly
all lines of stock, both fruit and ornamen-
tal, have been well cleaned up, due largely
to an intelligent advertising campaign
wisely carried out.

Walter Birch of the Harris Seed Co.,
San Diego, reports a fine trade. His con-
tributions on economic plants in The
California Garden are certainly a val-

uable and timely feature of that publica-
tion.

tions and prices of many other lines, and
especially farm products, the florist trade
has good cause to be thankful for the
way the business has held up the entire
season.

Post Office Requests Early Mailing

The prevalent practice of business
houses IS to deposit the bulk of their out-
going mail at the close of the day, thus
creating a peak which it is impossible to
handle satisfactorily, particularly as this
peak consists, generally speaking, of ma-
terial of secondary importance, mailable

w-,ri^ *S"^- ^° '''^''«^'* *•>« situation.
Will H. Mays, postmaster general, is re-
questing that business men make fre-
quent mailings throughout the day; so
doing will result in, (a) the expedition of
business, at times making a difference
of one entire day in delivery at destina-
tion; (b) reducing congestion of work
in post oflice at night; (c) morning and
early afternoon mailing clears the way
for more expeditious handling of the im-
portant evening mails; (d) matter mailed
early generally receives more efficient
train handling because the earlier trains
are not heavily mail laden; (e) matter so
dispatched early is more likely to receive
prompt delivery at destination; (f) early
mailing reduces night work at post office
and thereby benefits employees and their
families.

In conclusion Mr. Hays says the effort
for a better mail service is entitled to this
cooperation which, if secured, will make
an immediate improvement apparent.

We should all give our new postmaster
general every assistance in our power to
the end that delays in transmission cannot
be laid to the business men of the country.
Mr. Hays is understood to be making
every effort to relieve the situation that
has been so prevalent in the post office
these many years and so is entitled to all
the assistance that can be given him.
Few realize the magnitude of the opera-
tions conducted by the post office depart-
ment, and perhaps fewer still realize the
magnitude of the job which Mr. Hays has
set himself to accomplish. A. T.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Those Hootch Melons

The story of the Colorado grower who
is arranging to grow Melons with at least
ten per cent alcoholic content is undoubt-
edly a stretch of imagination. In any
case, it is unlikely that the plugged Melon
will rival or approach the spiked Melon
of old times. It is said that the South-
erners were adepts at preparing a spiked
Melon, and when one reads the recipe, it
is easy to imagine that the first bite would
cause ejaculations of joy. The spiked
Melon was plugged and drained of its
juice; then it was filled with good strong
wine; placed on ice and turned at inter-
vals. It was again drained and refilled
with light sparkling wine and again
chilled. The process lasts about four days
and then — Oh, my!

Worth a Second Look

The busy florist is apt to overlook a
good thing that is described in the vari-
ous literature that floods his office. In
looking for something else, I dropped
across the illustrations and details of the
Ever-Ready plant basket which appeared
in The Exchange, March 12, page 616.
I cannot but think that Robert L. Gra-
ham, Jr., of Baltimore has a sight more
imaginative genius than I have myself, and
I guess there's many a florist who, if he
will but turn up the subject, will agree
that the idea of a living quick change
basket offers an opportunity for pushing
pot plants. Now that the Easter rush
is over, just consider the possibilities of
this basket; it may be the means of in-
ducing a customer to purchase a flower-
ing plant every week or so.

A New Vegetable

Cauli-rabi is the latest Brassica hybrid,
the result of crossing a Cauliflower with
Kohl-rabi. According to reports this
vegetable is of greater interest to the
agriculturist than the gardener. It makes
a larger root than Kohl-rabi, is richer in
sugar and does not take so long to grow
as Turnips, Mangolds and Ruta-bagas. As
the roots grow entirely on the surface,
they are easily harvested and carry little
or no dirt. The possibilities of hybrids
between Brassicas is almost unlimited and
in Europe, where this hybrid originates a
great many types of greens are cultivated
which are more or less unknown here. This
writer believes that by breeding and se-
lection it would be possible to raise much
hardier types of Winter greens than we
have today.

Myosotis Blue Bird

The Gardeners' Chronicle, London, pub-
lishes an excellent illustration of this new
Forgetmenot raised by Carl Engelmann of
Carnation fame. The flowers are described
as deep clear blue and Mr. Engelmann is
able to send blooms regularly to Covent
Garden during the Winter months. It
may be mentioned that he grows them
both in pots and boxes which are allotted
to all the odd corners. This writer has
seen the Engelmann Forgetmenots grow-
ing in narrow boxes over the pipes that
run between the houses; the latter, in
many instances, are of the ridge and fur-
row type, all opening into each other.

Engelznann's Giant House

Mr. Englemann's latest house is roofed
by a series of spans, each some 30ft.
wide, covering an area so vast that it
requires 45,000 Carnation plants to fill it.
This house was in course of construction
when I last visited Saffron Walden, the
whole of the work being done by the home
staff. It is, perhaps, the only house of
its kind, for all the iron work, including
trussing, gutters and hot water pipes, is
stuck together by the acetylene welding
method. Mr. Engelmann first learned the
art of welding and then taught his handy
man. By its use, he dispenses with bolts,
screws, union plates, etc.; the whole house
is simply glued together into one piece
like a concrete skyscraper. By the weld-
ing method the cost of erection is greatly
reduced. It may be added, however, that
Mr. Engelmann does not worry about
a perfect finish, he's out for maximum
results at least cost and gets there all
the time.

Some twenty years ago he started with
about $100 in his pocket, renting a small
area of glass. Today he owns those old
houses and acres of new ones, to say
nothing of many acres of farmland and
a large nursery in the South of France.
Carnations are his main forte, and having
a wholesale and retail plant trade as well
as a huge cut flower output the latter sold
in his OA\'n depot in Covent Garden, it is
probable that he propagates more Carna-
tions than any other grower. He ships huge
quantities of plants to various South Ameri-
can centers in addition to the British
colonies. As is well known, he is some-
thing of a globe trotter, for he has trav-
eled and exhibited all over Europe while
his last tour took him right through the
American continent. It's on the boards
that if the transatlantic air service gets
going, he will be over here next Spring
with a cargo of blooms for the Cleveland
show.

Something of a Rarity

Old timers knd travelers in Florida
are familiar with Tecoma radicans and
one or two other species including the
orange tinted Smithii — which makes an
elegant pot plant — T. Smithii it may be

gradually. Nature, it would seem, does
not a little with the Sugar Beet, for
during storage after harvesting, the con-
version of the starch into sugar proceeds
naturally. This tends to explain why ef-
forts during the war period by home
preserve makers, proved imsatisfactory.
In most instances, the Beets were used
immediately after digging and before the
sugar content had fully developed. Most
plants, however, store their reserves in
the form of starch. According to Mr.
Chapman, the Potato is the most impor-
tant source of starch, the Beet, the most
suitable agent for direct sugar production.
It would be interesting to know whether
the Dahlia develops its sugar content
during storage.

*Muin Seed iTOzn Japan

From the Seed World I learn that 450
tons of Chrysanthemum seed formed part
of a cargo shipped from Japan to Bal-
timore. At first sight this appears
startling, but when one remembers that
the genus Pyrethrum is now recognized as
a Chrysanthemum, one gets the idea
that the consignment is just another lot
of bug-killer in the form of dried Pyre-
thrum parthenium flowers.

areas down to this Poppy. Yet, not so '
long since, it was stated more or less of-
ficially, that this Poppy was classed as a
noxious weed and was not permissible.
Noxious it certainly can be when it gets
established in Wheat land, but it is doubt- f
ful whether it will outrival some of thfl
other weeds, natives at that.

The recent reference to catalog picture -
vegetables and their trueness to life when i,
made from photographs, reminds one that
not all seedsmen have, even in these days,
got away from the idea that exaggeration
"goes" all the time. The gardening pub-
lie with its increasing knowledge is not
misled many times, and it soon beats
around for a concern that dispenses with
pen and ink illustrations. The old time
woodcut appeals to no one, because the
makers of such could not keep within
reason. The same may be said of many
of the artists making wash or color draw-
ings. The real gardening amateur of today
is not led away by crude or overcolored
drawings. At all events when a Sweet
Pea enthusiast gets hold of a catalog
and finds a variety depicted as a brilliant
yellow. I can imagine him pitching it
on one side, mentally exclaiming as I did,
Liar!

Greenhouse of Harry C. Huesman, Reading, Pa., taken on the Friday
before Easter

The house is 95ft. long, along the main street, and there were 54 people in it at the time the photo

was taken. Mr. Huesman had the largest Easter trade on record, and was sold out by Saturday,

S p.m., not a plant being left.

mentioned, is a hybrid from T. capensis
X velutina — but few have ever had the
elegant pot plant — T. Smithii it may be
the most beautiful of all the trumpet
flowered Bigoniacse. A resident of Aus-
tralia writing to The Gardeners' Chroni-
%lej states that he found it in 1876 when
on a six weeks government survey. In
all that time, he only found the one plant.
Since that date no plant collector in those
regions has found another plant. Re-
cently, however, a forestry official who
has been located on Eraser Island for
several years, discovered another speci-
men. Seeds of this Tecoma have been
sent to Kew and it is to be hoped that
this rare plant may be saved from extinc-
tion. The question that arises in one's
mind is, how and where the species has
carried itself over the 42 years without
being rediscovered by the various botan-
ists and explorers who have traversed that
area.

Starch and Sugar

In connection with the proposed ex-
traction of sugar from Dahlias, it is inter-
esting to note that Mr. Chaston Chapman
lectured in London recently on the im-
portance of starch and sugar for various
industries, including alcohol, vinegar, lactic
acid for dyeing, acetone for explosives,
etc. When starch is the source, the first
process is to convert it to sugar, a process
both costly and slow. In many instances,
the manufacturer would be relieved of
much anxiety if it were possible to con-
vert starch into sugar by direct means
and in this respect the use of various
moulds and bacteria are being utilized

On page 337, Aug. 14, 1920, we had
something to say regarding the enormous
quantities of Pyrethrum powder and flow-
ers imported into this coimtry. Presum-
ably, the demand is still strong, but why
sca;re us into thinking that Japan is flood-
ing us with Chrysanthemum seed ? If
Charles H. Totty sowed that quantity, New
Jersey wouldn't hold the novelties he'd
turn out!

Bird of Paradise Flower

Again I must quote The Seed World,
for its New England correspondent tells
us that "The Harvard University botan-
ists have propagated a flower 4ft. high
and 3ft. wide, which so resembles the
head and neck of a beautiful bird, that
it has been called the Bird of Paradise
Flower. It was raised from seed at Cam-
bridge, although it is generally found only
in South Africa and in a few botanical
gardens, being a very rare species. * * *
The plant belongs to the Banana family,
its real name being Strelitgia Reginse."
sic.

Well, well! We live to learn. One can
overlook the substitution of the "g" for
"z"; but to say it is rare and to speak
of Harvard's achievements as untoward
is the limit. The scribe, of course, is not
aware that this Strelitzia has been in
cultivation about 150 years and is a
common object in New York flower shops.

The Flanders Poppy

I am a little mystified by the several
announcements regarding the above. Cer-
tain professors and seedsmen are credited
with distributing seed or planning to plant

Lonisville, Ky.

A very heavy hailstorm and then
heaviest rains experienced for a long 4
time, resulted in considerable damage to <
fruit buds, early vegetables and all out- 1
door stock on the evening of April 8. 1
Weather conditions have been against all I
outdoor stock this year, due to rapid k
changes of temperatures and heavy t
frosts.

Business is good in Louisville, due ton
the opening of the amateur theatrical sea- •
son, and the season for dancing school *
exhibitions, etc.

An interesting story appeared in a )
local newspaper a few days ago concern- 4
ing the boon to the fiorist trade that the 1
amateur theatrical period is. This read, (
in part, as follows:

"The knight of the grease paint — the 1
amateur performer — acts "well his part" i
in the Spring of the year. School, J
church and club get behind footlights, and 1
thereby is entailed an item in Louisville's 1^
annual business volume running into I
many thousands of dollars.

"The naivete, the youth and the charm
lent to many amateur plays have often
been said to be unequalled in professional- ■
dom. They attract, of course, membeia '
of the family and relatives. Friends, also, •
patronize the annual "show." Disinter- ■
ested members of the audience are few in
nimiber.

"Applause and flowers are gipen without
reserve. The compliments and admiration
bestowed after an amateur performance
suggest the Biblical casting of bread upon
the waters.

"Louisville florists declare that Spring
business flourishes when the amateur ar-
tists perform. Candy and other presents
are lavishly bestowed in full view of the '
audience."

Secretary Joseph Able of the Kentucky
Society of Florists, has addressed letterB
to every member, calling attention to the
monthly meeting at the Watterson Hotel,
April 13, at which a dinner will be served
at a cost to each individual member of
$1.25 a plate. Mrs. E. S. Iring, of the
F. Walker Co. is making the reservations.
A. Buarmann, a former member of the
organization, is back with it again, and
will be one of two speakers at the meet-

ing- -

The Women's City Club is going to oner
an education in gardening to the public
through its flower and vegetable garden
show which will be run for three days
in a tent in Lincoln Park. The dates ee-
lected are April 20, 21 and 22. The Park (
Board has granted the club the use of a ;
tent in this park, and there will be offered
for sale plants, bulbs, flowers, garden im-
plements, catalogs and seeds. Demon*
strators will inform the buyer how best j
to raise his crops or flowers. The flowers
and plants which will be offered for sale
will be contributed by various owners of
highclass gardens around Louisville, and
the proceeds will go to the club. The com-
mittee in charge of this work is composed
of Mrs. George R. Newman, chairman;
Mrs. George Settle, Mrs. James Speed,
Mrs. Edward Howard, Mrs. Ben Bayless *
and Miss Louise Morel.

Weigelas of Today

By EDWIN MATTHEWS

ITTHILE thi.s group of plants is
Y^ now placctl bj- botanical authori-
ties under "Dicrvilla,'' it comes
iiore natural to call them by the old
.tme of "VVeigela." Garden owners
nd those interested in flowering shrubs
now them perhaps only by the latter
lamc. hence it is thought wise and ex-
ledient by all nurserymen to list them
s such in present day catalogs.

Triie, some of them now adopt the
.eneric name recognized by botanists.
,ut for "safety's sake" also quote the
■ Id and better known name, so that no
rder shall be lost through any misun-
erstanding.

As a garden plant the Weigela has not
leen so eulogized as have some other
roups of flowering shrubs yet. I would
cnture to say, they are well nigh in-
ispensible for general use in landscape
lantings. Many and varied are the
ses to wliich they are put. and it is
sldom one can employ them wrongly
r without good effect except perhaps
,1 very shaded positions or in a . cold
nd wet situation.

unlight Essential

The one main essential leading to the
lost successful use of them is sunlight
11 abundance, coupled with a warm and
I ell drained soil, these factors being
'ost important for the well ripening of
le young wood which, unlike some
irubs, continues growing well into the
jte Summer season.

i As we depend largely on the year old
ood for quantity and quality of flow-
: s, it will be seen how necessary it is
I have plenty of sunlight, so that the
>ood is well matured and ripened be-
fore Winter. It is this strong well
pened growth too that is the most de-
;rable when we want to raise a new
ock of young plants.

lasy to Propagate

i So easily are the Weigelas increased
,' hardwood cuttings that, by many, it
I considered a better method than by
■een wood cuttings put in during the
Jmmer. By the former method larger
I ants are obtained more quickly, for
ith strong cuttings cut in early Winter,
llared in sand and put out in April,
irifty young plants of two to four
ems are formed the same year. These
^■e ready for sale after one transplant-
;g, the Fall of the succeeding year; a
',:riod of about 18 months to secure
'leable stock. This in itself is a point
;orth considering in these days when
,bor costs of growing and cultivating
ants is something to be reckoned with.
It is even more important when this
|ist IS continued over a period of sev-
|al years as is the case with the raising
I many other plants of ornamental
.lue.

'eedom from Insects

Still another important point in favor
i the Weigelas, is the fact that as a
neral rule they are naturally free of
ale and other insect infestations. Oc-
siorally perhaps, we may find a plant
i'th a little oyster shell scale on it but
|is is rare. If we could say this of all
oups of plants it would indeed be a
lief.

Lonicera tatarica, pink

One of the hardiest of all shiub.s. Berries of a pleasing red colorjform directly after the flowers
fade, and ripen in a few weeks.

Lonicera tatarica

1

NE of the oldest known ornamental shrubs of our gardens is the Lonicera
tatarica. better known to horticulturists under its common name, Tar-
tarian Honeysuckle. It was one of the old standbys half a century ago,
long before many of the now well known shrubs had been introduced, and even
today it has bj' no means a back place in a collection. It is a free growing
shrub, with pretty, green foliage, and one of the hardiest of all shrubs, coming
from Russia in the first place. In the way of flowering it has great merit.
There are several distinct colors to be had — pink, white and red for instance —
and these are displayed early in Spring in profusion, usually all along the
branches made the previous Summer. It is a great merit that berries form
directly the flowers fade and ripen in a few weeks. These berries are usually
of a pretty red color, and, as may be imagined, tend much to beautify the
bushes. Our specimen is of the pink flowered sort. It is still a young specimen,
though 6ft. tall, as when allowed to grow as they will these Tartarian Honey-
suckles make bushes 10ft. to 12ft. in height.

There are numerous varieties of the Lonicera tatarica, which have been
observed in collections, and which have been kept distinct, propagated and named.
Some have foliage distinct, others bloosoms of large size, so that perhaps a
dozen sorts could be had, all differing in some way. There is one bearing very
large pink flowers, called grandiflora, which is a most desirable bush in every
way, and one of the first selected when a pink colored one is desired.

Tartarian Honeysuckles are tractable under a pruning knife, so are easily
kept in shape ; and as to their propagation are easily raised from hardwood
cuttings set out in Spring, or from Summer cuttings placed under glass.

Many plants there are most highly es-
teemed and considered more beautiful
than Weigelas, but which have their pe-
culiar blight and insect infestation and,
because of this, are placed at a disad-
vantage. Everyone loves the Lilac, the
Crap Apple, the Hawthorn and the flow-
ering Almonds, but to have full enjoy-
ment from them and have them main-
tain a clean bill of health, one has to-
keep a watchful eye and busy hand ta
hold down the enemies which prey on
them.

The Lilac has its chief foe in the
oyster shell scale, the Hawthorn and
Crab Apple in San Jose scale and leaf
rust, while the flowering Almond has
San Jose scale and the regular Peach
borer to contend with. Thus it is that
the full enjoyment of these plants is
never reached, because of the much re-
quired e.xercise of extreme vigilance.

Varieties Old and New

Weigelas as we know them comprise
a number of Asiatic species with still a
greater number of hybrids and garden
varieties. As a matter of fact, the named
hybrids are now more popular perhaps
than the general run of the species, for
like many other old-fashioned shrubs
the Weigela has also come in for a share
of attention from the hybridists and, as
is invariably the case, their efforts have
resulted in a number of splendid kinds
that are far in advance of the original
species.

This does not mean that the old kinds
are discarded; we still esteem highly
such species as aniabilis, japon-ica,
florida and fionbunda, but since the in-
troduction of these species which years
ago were (and for that matter still are)
considered good, there has come into
prominence such striking hybrids as Eva
Rathke, Steltsneri, deep red; Groene-
wegeni, flesh color with red reverse;
Lavallei, bright crimson; Van Houttei,
carmine red ; Mme. Coutourier, Ver-
schaffelti, Mme. Gustav Mallet, Mme.
Lemoine, rose and pale pink; Desboisi,
A. Carriere and Versicolor, deep rose to
crimson. Some few others are found
in complete collections but the above va-
rieties are the best and are representative
of all the shades and colors found in the
Weigelas. There are also a few pretty
varieties of amabilis and florida, with
green and yellow color foliage and with
flowers of a pale pink or flesh color.
Used in moderation, these variegated
plants are quite effective and cheerful,
the leaves maintaining their bright color
throughout the season. The white flow-
ered forms are not so much in demand
as the more highly colored ones.

The primary reason perhaps is be-
cause the color is not that glistening
pure white of Bridal Wreath, Spircca or
the Deutzias, but is rather a grey white
and of tarnished appearance.

Another good reason is that since
there is an abundance of white flowers
aft'orded by the above-mentioned plants
with such additional ones as Japanese
Snowball, Viburnum plicatitm, Guelder
Rose, Viburnum opulus steriUs and
others, there is naturally room only for
the richer colors that make for pleasing
contrast.

Long Period of Bloom

While it may be said that as a rule
Memorial Day sees a number of the
Weigelas in full bloom yet, where it is
possible to have the whole collection,

As we see it, any man who has anything to do with
the growing of flowers and the providing thereby of
happiness for many people, has a mighty good reason to
be proud of his work — and an inspiration to constantly
do his best and make that best better.

The^Daylight Saving Imbroglio

As the open season for Daylight Saving approaches
it_ becomes more and more apparent that the differences
of opinion as to the policy are very decided and far from
dormant. From Massachusetts comes the news that four
towns in the Connecticut \'alley, speaking through citi-
zens meetings and resolutions, have declared that they
will ignore the Daylight Saving law passed by the State
Legislature. On the other hand, a community in Con-
necticut— ^\vhich State has passed a law prohibiting any
local daylight saving ordinances — announces that notwith-
standing this dictum it is going right ahead with the es-
tablishment of its own little daylight saving schedule.
\ erily we forsee a quaint and curious confusion for the
un\varj- traveler this Summer. We suggest that in place
of the ■■Welcome" and ■■Come Again" signs that so many
Chambers of Commerce are erecting at the gateways of
their towns, there be constructed large signs announcing
that "We Use (or Do Not Use) Daylight Saving Time,"
surmounted by a clock indicating the correct time for that
particular locality.

This Waning (?) Winter Weather

Once more is heard the rattle of the shovel in the
hungry maw of many a furnace that during the mild days
of the last fortnight was allowed to go out. For over
a large area of Northeastern United States, extending
from the Virginias and Kentucky eastward and north-
ward, the morning of April 11 brought not only a 28
deg. temperature, but also a howling northwest wind
and at least an inch of real snow- w hich, in patches, lasted
until the Springtime sun got in its work late in the day.

Probably the snow was the saving feature of the re-
lapse to \Vinter conditions, for had the drop in tempera-
ture been accompanied by a dn' atmosphere, much more
damage must have occurred than has thus far been re-
ported. At that it appears as though Peaches and Plums
over a large area, and even Apples and Pears in smaller
districts, which withstood the other cold spell just after
Easter, have been seriously injured. Such vegetables
as have come up and ornamental plants and shrubs seem
to have escaped unharmed — for which we can be thank-
ful. Probably even the warm days already enjoved have
not led any growers to rashly set out their tender bedding
stock as vet.

Advertising As a Habit

"To create the habit of buj-ing flowers in the public
you florists must cultivate the habit of advertising,"
said the speaker at the April 11 meeting of the New
York Florists Club. And thereby hangs a lesson that
everyone of us should take to heart. His hearers,
naturally, had in mind the recently perfected plans for
local advertising and the difficulties encountered in get-
ting all classes of membership in the new Allied Flo-
rists Association to participate on the same basis. But
whether we are retailers or wholesalers, growers or sup-
ph-men. the fact remains that a perpetual crop of orders
can only result when constant care and cultivation in
the form of persistent advertising is given.

Reading Mr. Fernald's talk as published in another
column, it will be seen that he emphasized the same
thought in other ways, as for instance, when he quoted
J. J. Hill's pronouncement that "no great work was ever
accomplished without commensurate effort." In other
words, a business transaction, or rather a successful
series of such transactions, calls for more than the
production of the article, its display by the dealer and
its purchase by the user. It requires also the continual
emphasis of zi'fty that article should be bought, where
and how easily it can be bought, and the desirable
effects that must result from its use. These thoughts
ceaselessly pounded home in every possible form and
through every available medium, will inevitably create
a hunger, a sort of unconscious desire for the article —
and, presto ! its profitable sale is assured.

But the task of emphasizing the facts just mentioned,
and of thereby maintaining that buying habit, is an
important feature of the seller's business. It cannot
be neglected ; nor, on the other hand can it be given too
much careful thought, close study and enthusiastic sup-
port. It is characteristic of modern progress that it
has been made easier than ever to effectively and con-
sistently advertise one's w-ares to the multitudes. Co-
operative publicity supplies the means. It is the oppor-
tunity and the duty of all florists to make the most of
the privilege thus offered them.

Impressions of the Boston Show

Horticultural Hall may have had staged within it larger
and more representative shows than the one of last w^ek,
but we doubt it, and even if it has had these larger shows
it certainly had never housed a more beautiful and at-
tractive one than this latest effort of April 6 to 10.
Much credit, indeed, is due the man or men who laid
out the various halls into which the main floor of Hor-
ticultural Hall is subdivided. Its formerly dull brick
walls, repellent to every flower lover, because in no way
could their harmony match that of the flowers, has some
time recently been changed to more neutral color with
good results. Added to this color effect, however, in
several instances the walls had been hidden by tall Cedars,
and the harmonizing effect of these trees w-ith the flowers
these screened was so visible an improvement that when
the next big show is held therein, Cedars, it is expected,
will be used universally all around the hall to soften
their grimness.

From many previous exhibitions visited (but none in
recent years) the writer had come away with the feeling
that Horticultural Hall was ill adapted for a flower
show, which idea was also entertained by many. After
viewing this present exhibition, however, one concludes
that the compartmenting of the main floor was not at
all as disadvantageous as had been repeatedly pointed out,
and that after all it was possible to stage a really ar-
tistic exhibition therein. Certainly that of April 6 to 10
w-as preeminently artistic in all its details, the separate
division of the floor having been utilized this time to
splendid advantage as will be noted from our report, one
or two of each of the important groupings having a hall
or room all to itself or themselves.

Two Rose gardens were showTi, each one in its w'ay the
essence of perfection. That of the Breck-Robinson' Co.,
having been laid out to perfect scale, served as a pattern
for any desired size so well were its walks, ornamenta-
tions and plantings apportioned. Thomas Roland's gar-
den, considerably larger than the preceding, was a living,
sentient Rose garden, with an effect so light, so graceful
and so entirely facinating in its correct interpretation of
the real thing, that no wonder the tributes paid by the
visitors to his efforts ; really, all the more deserving be-
cause Mr. Roland is not at all in this line and staged
the garden simply as an evidence of his own goodwill
toward the enterprise.

A study of the movements of the visitors demonstrated
the results of a strong horticultural societ}-, the majority
of them seemingly knowing, recognizing and understand-
ing fairly well the fine points of the plants and flowers
they were looking at, although even here we heard com-
plaints of some plants not being labeled at all and queries
made as to why other plants were not labeled in both
Latin and their English equivalent.

The arrangement of Kurume Azaleas by the F. L.
Ames estate was a revelation as to the great value these

plants are going to have for rockeries, banks, and
any situation where they can be planted above the gro- 1,
level. They are easy to propagate and reported fa
hardy. We could see no particular difference between i
plants in the Ames exhibit and that of Sander's Lea Hi
Azaleas — to the laymen they were both alike.

Miss Louisa Hunnewell Rhododendron cannot cc c
too rapidly into cultivation. This is a wonderful flov ;
with color combination absolute!}' distinct from that
any other Rhododendron we know. On account of :
distinct color it will be an acquisition to any Rhodod i
dron groupings. Great is the pit3' that It takes so h
to work up stock. There were so many other g(
things that it sounds like discrimination to mention i
a few. The Burrage orchid exhibition was one of '
grandest ever made in this coimtry, and, commercia
that of Julius Roehrs' Co. was inspiring. F. E. Palms
grouping of plants in leaf and flower was one of the 1:
arranged for harmony ever noted. The highest pra
should be bestowed on all those who took a part in
Rose exhibition. The efforts of those gentlemen w i
certainly appreciated to the full. The one regret v

The Heating of the Greenhouse

Right fiovf Is a Good Time to Look Into This Problem
— A List of Reference for the Seeker
After Knovrledge

"In times of peace prepare for war" is still a goc
useful maxim. So, also, is the suggestion that now du
ing the warm weather we should give attention to t
problem of heating the greenhouse next Winter. E
CH.^XGE readers must have noted that we are hot on tl
trail of every promising development, including SU'
matters as the best sort of fuel, the use of me<£anic
stokers and fuel savers, etc.

However, no matter what the subject under discussio
intelligent consideration of it can be attempted only wh(
one Is familiar with the fundamental principles of gree:
house heating. Attempting to locate the best books ai
articles on the subject, we have been greatly aided 1
the James H. Herron Co., consulting engineers, of Clev
land. Ohio, which sends us the following bibliograpl
compiled by its librarian. Mr. Herron expresses tl
opinion that there is no thoroughly satisfactorv- and u|
to-date volimie on the subject, but that the consensi
seems to be in favor of W. J. Wright's book as the be
material available.

American Orchid Society

lOrganization Meeting, Elections and First Regular
I Session

} The first regular meeting, wliicli was also the orgaiii-
•ition ceremony of the American Orchid Society, took
:lacc at Horticultural Hall. Boston, on April 7 at 3 p.m.
he aim and purpose ot the society, as previously deter-
! and set lortli, is to "aid in every way possible
iniiortation and iinprovenieut by cultivation and
■ utilization oi e.sotic orchids; the preservation and
;rpetuation of native orchids; the dissemination by
xhibitions, lectures and publication of useful informa-
on concerning orchids, and the extension ui knowledge,
■reduction, use and love of these beautiful llowers."

Miss Eileen Low of London, who had come to this
'juntry especially to attend the Hower show, was pres-
et, together with about 40 gentlemen when Thomas
:oland, as temporary president, opened the meeting,
ecretary Wni. N. Craig read the proposed by-laws
rhich were unanimously accepted. He then read the
ominations for officers for the ensuing year and upon
lotion by VV. A. Manda and Mr. Finlayson it was voted
') have the secretary cast one vote whereby the follow-
•g ollicers were elected: President, Albert C. Bur-
ige, Boston, Mass.; vice-presidents, E. B. Dane, Chest-
lut Hill, Mass.; Clement Moore, Hackensack, N. J., and
I'. H. Wickwire, Jr., Buft'alo, N. Y.; secretary, A. J.
I.oveless. Lenox, Mass. ; treasurer, Louis Burke, Phila-
elphia Pa.; trustees: L. D. Towle, Newton, Mass.;

j.mes, Boston; Richardson Wright, New York; J. J.

ane, New York; John S. Hay, Philadelphia, Pa., and
I.. J. Fish, New Bedford, Mass.

1 Judge C. W. Hoitt introduced the new president, who
kplained that the by-laws contained the provision for
bting either in person or by proxy, which important
[em permits greater simplicity of action in a large
i5untry like America. He further mentioned that the
Izw society is for the benefit of the amateur and pro-
l-ssional growers, workers, scientists and all lovers of
;rchids. The by-laws have been drawn very carefully
;'ith a view to a long future. They embody the best

oints of the by-laws of many similar societies. No
Uitiation fee is charged, the small amount of $5 being

ayable at the beginning of each year and $100 covering
; Hfe membership.
Mr. Burrage then went on to say that although he is

0 expert in orchids he has a great love for the plants
ind derives great pleasure in collecting them. His great-
est pleasure, however, consists in giving joy to others
|y giving them a chance to enjoy his treasures with
iim. He expects that the dissemination of orchid litera-

ire will greatly spread a knowledge and love for the

lants and through such advancement of orchid knowl-

ige the orchid society can only gain. He advised the
irganization to go very slowly from the beginning but
'e feels sure that in due time it will come to be as

nportant as any other horticultural organization.

^ Mr. Roland then called on Miss Low to speak a few

ords. The young lady was introduced by John T.

Butterworth and complimented her fellow members upon
the fact of having formed the new society.

Mr. Butterworth then gave an account of how he has
seen the orchid become a popular flower in America.
He told how 30 years ago he could hardly find a re-
tailer willing to pay him $1.50 for a dozen Cypripe-
diums and how he then predicted that the time would
come when the retailer could not do without orchids.
His dream has come true long ago.

John T. Lager had it in for Quarantine No. 37. He
spoke his mind freely and related his experiences with
the F. H. B.

H. W. Child spoke on native orchids of which he has
photographed all but three. He explained that there are
between 50 and 60 species of wild orchids to be found
in New England alone and hopes to see the day when
the average man will take more interest in preventing
the destruction of these plants. Mr. Fish thinks the
people should be made acquainted with wild orchids
and is on the point of publishing a series of photo-
graphs in book form, showing all but three of the
New England wild forms.

During a lengthy discussion the fact developed that
wild orchids can be transplanted successfully if certain
precautions are observed. More knowledge as to what
part the acidity or alkalinity of the soil plays in rela-
tion to the welfare of the plants is undoubtedly needed.
It has also been discovered that certain fungous organ-
isms have to be taken into consideration.

W. A. Manda related his experiences in transplanting
native orchids successfully. He has replanted all the
native Cypripediums and made them live. He has also
received terrestrial orchids from Siberia and the Medit-
teranean islands with which he has had great success.

Mr. Burrage hopes that the new orchid society will
have 100 members in a short time.

Orchid Men at Dinner

An informal dinner was tendered to the members of
the new society by its president at the Algonquin Club
at 7 p.m. on the same day. Thirty-seven members re-
sponded to the invitation and a splendid feast was thor-
oughly enjoyed by all.

There were no formal speeches indulged in. Mr. Bur-
rage spoke of some experiments which he is carrying
on in a new style Odontoglossum house and promised
that the members of the society will soon have the pleas-
ure of seeing for themselves what is going on. W. A.
Manda and others also spoke a few words, after which
the party broke up in good time.

American Iris Society

A meeting of the board of directors of the American
Iris Society was held in New York City on March 17.
Those present included President Wister, Treasurer
Presby, Messrs. Farr, Gleason, Hendrickson and Nor-
ton. Robt. Sturtevant, secretary, was prevented from
attending on account of illness. In his absence, Dr.
H. A. Gleason acted as secretary pro tern.

The report read by the president covered in detail the

general activities of the society through 1920 and its
plans tor the future. The report showed a present
meniber.ship of 40:!, including 34 life members. Two
bulletins were issued by the society and two other bulle-
tins were sent to nurmbers through the courtesy of the
.\nicrican Peony Society and the New York Botanical
Society.

It was announced that the annual meeting would be
held in connection with the Iris Exhibition at Columbus,
Ohio, about May 27, and that small exhibitions would
be held in Richmond, Va., Tacoma Park, D. C, Boston,
Mass., Belvidere, 111., Des Moines, Iowa, and probably
at Minneapolis, Louisville and Nashville.

The treasurer reported $900 worth of Liberty bonds
in the treasury and a cash balance of nearly $800. On
motion, it was decided that after December 31, 1921,
the bulletins of previous years should not be given free
to non-members, but should be sold to members at 50c.
each.

It was decided to establish a collection of lantern
slides, an appropriation of not less than $50 or more
than $100 being voted for this purpose. These slides
are to be loaned to garden clubs and similar institutions
without charge, except for transportation and breakage,
and will be rented to professional lecturers, such ar-
rangements being made with the understanding that a
slide bearing the legend, "Shown through the courtesy
of the American Iris Society" be shown upon the screen.

It was also decided to establish a library of books,
magazine articles and photographs.

Dr. Gleason reported on the progress of the trial and
demonstration garden of Iris at the New York Botani-
cal Gardens, indicating that the Botanical Garden has
expended about $5500 on its construction and that over
500 named varieties were now included, most of them
secured through the cooperation of the Iris Society.
The directors expressed the wish that the annual meet-
ing in 1922 might be held at Bronx Park at the time the
test garden is in bloom.

It was decided to continue the policy of offering stock
prizes at Iris exhibitions and it was the concensus of
opinion that it might be more desirable to offer such
prizes in a monetary value, to be selected by the donor
or winner rather than any stated varieties as was done
last year. H. A. Gleason,

Acting Secretary.

Silk Poppies for Memorial Day

We understand that silk Poppies are being manufactured
in enormous quantities for the use of the American
Legion on Memorial Day. These are to be sold at 10c.
each, and the proceeds therefrom will be donated for
the benefit of French and American war orphans.

Ernest Granz

Ernest Granz died from a complication of diseases at
his home in Hicksville, L. I., on Sunday night, April 10.
Mr. Granz was a member of the well-known firm of
Rowehl & Granz, flower growers and nurserymen, and
also extensive growers of Gladiolus bulbs. Mr. Granz
was about 60 years of age and had been engaged in the
florists and nursery business for about 35 years. One of
the specialties of his firm in flower growing was Carna-
tions. He was a member of the Lutheran church, a
Mason, an Odd Fellow, and belonged to several other
societies. The funeral services were conducted at Mr.
Granz's late residence, by the pastor of the Lutheran
church, on Wednesday, April 13 at 2 p.m. Mr. Granz
is survived by a widow, one daughter and two sons.

Willis E. Hamilton

Willis E. Hamilton, pioneer florist of Waldo County,
died at his home in Belfast, Me., March 9, 1921. Never
in robust health, his last sickness dated from a severe
cold contracted last October. He was born in Swansville,
Me., March 22, 1857, and had lived in Belfast 40 years,
conducting the only florist's business in that city for 38
years, ably assisted by his wife.

Mr. Hamilton was the originator of the Belfast Chrys-
anthemum, probably the latest flowering variety extant.
Loved by all, he was a kindly, courteous. Christian
gentleman, whose honorable business methods and ster-
ling integrity will long be remembered by all who knew
him.

On Jan. 30, 1882, he married Mary Ella Hoag of
Belfast, who survives him, as does a daughter, Mrs. Clara
Seekins, and a son, Everett L., who will carry on the
business under the old firm name.

Clubs

Under the chairmanship of President I. S. Hendrick-
son. close upon 100 members gathered at the Engineer-
ing Societies' Building, West 39th St., on the evening
of Monday, April 11. Business was started with the
reading of the minutes of the Feburary meeting; the
March meeting having been adjourned without any busi-
ness being done, owing to lack of attendance due to the
Flower Show.

Flower Sbo^v Finance

The minutes having been accepted, Secretary Young
read in detail. Chas. H. Tott>''s preliminary financial
report of the Flower Show. The total receipts were
over $71,000 and it is estimated that when all expenses
had been paid, a balance of between $6000 and $7000
would remain for division between the New York Flo-
rists Club and the Horticultural Society of New York.
One of the expenses was the war tax, about $6000.
The report was accepted unanimously.

Departed Members

The secretary referred to the resolutions on the death
of Thomas Booth de Forest. A copy of same had been
forwarded to the relatives of the late much esteemed
member.

J. H. Pepper, on behalf of his committee, submitted
the resolutions relating to the death of Charles Millang.
These resolutions were accepted and ordered to be
placed on the minutes ; a copy also to be forwarded to
the relatives of that much respected member.

Membership

No objection being made to the names of Nicholas
Grakas. Wm. A. Frankerbach, James F. Baird and Carl
O. Carlson, these gentlemen were duly elected en bloc.

The following names were submitted' for membership :
Henrj' J. Apple, care J. M. Keller Co., Whitestone,
N. Y. ; Anthony Denis, 314 Lenox ave.. New York City;
Frank S- Bolsavage, 15 Putnam ave., Brooklyn; James
Hagerup, 15 Putnam ave., BrookljTi; Paul E. Atkinson,
7 West 45th St.. New York. It was moved that these
nominations take the usual course.

Secretary's Report

Secretary Young submitted the report for 1920.
Owing to Ladies Night, Feb. 14, this report was de-
ferred to a later meeting. Arising out of this report,
Roman J. Irwin submitted the proposed budget for the
current year, as drawn up by the Board of Trustees.
It was, he said, generally felt that a fixed spending
scheme would be beneficial to the club. The budget
question was discussed at some little length by Chas. B.
Weathered. A. Herrington and others. Secretary Young
explained in reply to a query that it was not. by some
authorities,^ considered essential to allocate certain sums
under special headings. So long as it was well known
that certain sums were recognized as belonging to the
Life Membership and Flower Show Funds, it made
no difference if it were all banked as club funds. He
certainly agreed that interest on life membership fees
should be paid into the general fund. The budget re-
port was duly accepted without any objection.

Banquet Committee

Roman T. Irwin briefly explained that the annual ban-
quet had proved highly successful. He had but a modest
charge of $32.40 against the club, all expenses having
been covered by the receipts with the exception stated.
The report was received and adopted without discus-
sion.

On the motion of W. R. Pierson, a hearty vote of
thanks was tendered the banquet committee.

Neivspaper Advertising

President Hendrickson introduced L, D. Fernafd. ad-
vertising manager of the Nc-w York Evening Post, as
the speaker of the evening.

Mr. Fernald. a clear and entertaining speaker, dis-
cussed the subject of flower advertising in newspapers.
His remarks are given elsewhere. Supplementary to his
address, he presented every member with a copy of
'"Keeping a Dollar at Work," a most valuable com-
pilation of talks on newspaper advertising by T. A.
De Weese, published by the Evening Post. This book,
it may be said here, is full of epigrams and entertaining
matter; no one should miss reading it. Copies can be
obtained free by club members on application to A. M.
Henshaw.

Following the address, A. M. Henshaw expressed the
wish that all florists would act on the suggestions of the

last speaker. At times, he had thought it hopeless to
ever entertain the idea that the florists of New York
would see the benefits of advertising. Fully 1000 notices
of the club meeting had been sent out to retailers, and
they had there that evening about 100 men present, only
seven of them retailers. Mr. Henshaw referred to the
advertising the A. F. T. A. had done and the eifect it
had. He appealed to everyone to go after those lag-
gards who had not yet come forward.

Mr. Nash thought Mr. Henshaw was not warranted
in criticizing his own work. There was hope even for
New York. He had been assured that the Chicago
retailers were just as shy, until a few retailers formed
a committee and did the missionary work among the
rest. If they could get a few retailers to look after
New York in the same way he believed results would
follow.

Anton Schultheis and W. R. Pierson had a few
words to say on the subject, the latter, as is his wont,
making himself thoroughly understood.

New^ Jersey Night

Following the recess, when all the members had sam-
pled near beer and among other things, some excellent
Radishes grown by Herman Mamitsch, President Hen-
drickson, briefly referred to the May meeting. He
wanted this to be a real New Jersey night, and he
urged all in the State of New Jersey to bring along
new members.

Awards Committee

Secretary Young announced the awards for the Feb-
ruary meeting as follows : Cyclamen shown by Lehnig
& Winnefeld, Hackensack, N. J., cultural certificate;
Carnation Edna from Baur & Steinkamp, Indianapolis.
Ind.. certificate of merit with 86 points. Exhibits for
the evening were not numerous. Excellent vases of Car-
nations Laddie and Belle Washburn were shown by the
Springfield Floral Co., Springfield. N. J. For quality
of flower and length and vigor of stem, these were re-
markable. The stems were over a yard in length and
needed no support to keep them erect. Cultural certifi-
cate awarded Antirrhinum Golden Pink Queen, an in-
teresting soft pink with a lemon lip, strong in stem
with large flowers. Shown by G. S. Ramsburg, Somers-
worth, N, H.. certificate of merit.

Rose, dark pink sport of Columbia, shown bj' A. N.
Pierson, Inc., Cromwell. Conn. Of pleasing color in
some instances but the flowers varied considerably in
tint. For size the flowers were hardly equal to the
parent. Highly commended.

No further business being submitted the meeting ad-
journed at 9.40 p.m.

Chicago Florists Club

The regular meeting of- the club was held at the Ran-
dolph Hotel, April 8. The meeting was called to order

The minutes of the previous meeting were read and
approved.

New Members

The following applications were presented: Gustave
Bloom, grower, 11936 Eggleston ave.. Chicago, 111.: An-
thony Batek, grower. Schermerville, 111.

Upon motion of T. E. Waters, which was duly sec-
onded, the secretary was instructed to cast one ballot
electing the candidates as members of the club.

Report of Committee on Reorganization Plan

Your committee has carefully considered President
Kohout's reorganization plan, and believes that with some
modifications it might be approved by all the local trade
organizations. Now that the restraining effects of the
war are passing away, there is opening to the Chicago
Florists Club a broad field for educational work and
regulation to prevent ^\^ste in effort and expense.

The flower shows of former years need revival ; the
Pageant of Progress demands united effort on the part
of the trade, and there are many questions of production

and distribution which must be thoroughly discussed )
the trade of this territory is to be kept abreast of ti ^
times under the rapidly changing conditions now coi ■
fronting us.

This work requires the earnest cooperation of all trac :
interests, and your committee is of the opinion that unitf I
action would produce highl}' beneficial results. It i ,
therefore, recommended that the proposed plan of n
organization be submitted to all other local trade bodii
interested in the advancement of floriculture, requesting
1, consideration of the plan; 2, modifications or amenc
ments; 3, committee from eadi Organization to discu;
the situation.

On receipt of the views of other interested organiza
tions, the Chicago Florists Club would be in position t
take such further action as may be necessary.

It seems to your committee that the various trade or
ganizations could advantageously unite for the commo:
good on matters of general interest, leaving each indi
vidual organization free to transact its special busines
in its own way.

Respectfully submitted, M. C. Wright, chairman
Michael Barker, Philip J. Foley, Jr.

Report of Committee on Resolutions

Lx Me.mori.\.m— Petek Reixberg

WHEREAS: In view of the loss to the Chicago Flo
rists Club sustained by the decease of our friend, mein>
ber and associate, Hon. Peter Reinberg. His high stand'
ing in the councils of public service, his monument anc
heritage to the people in the work and the perpetua-
tion of the Forest Preserve, his many acts of kindnees
and assistance given to the poor, to the needy, and it
the distressed, has endeared his memory to all.

We are also deeply appreciative of his services
rendered to the floriculture and to this club. When he
first began to lay the foundation in the West of a great
and prosperous industry in the building of the world's
largest greenhouses, we had with us a man of vision
who foresaw the opportunities and the growth in flori-
culture; by his success and by the confidence of under-
taking floriculture on such a large scale, he materially
enhanced our individual ambitions.

The Chicago Florists Club mourns the loss of one who
was so ever ready to do his share for the welfare and
the prosperity of those similarly engaged and we sin-
cerely condole with the family in the great loss.

RESOLVED, That these resolutions be spread upon
the records of the Chicago Florists Club and a copy
thereof be embossed and sent to the family of our de-
ceased member and notice of such resolution be pub-
lished by each of the trade journals.

Tim Waters, chairman, J. E. PoUworth, James Morton.

Mayor of Chicago on Pageant of Progress

The arrival of His Honor, Wm. Hale Thompson, was
announced, amid cheers, and President Kohout imnie-
diateb^ turned the gavel over to George Asmus. president
of the Allied Florists Association of Illinois.

Mr. Asmus introduced His Honor as the greatest mayor
of the greatest city in the universe. Mr. Asmus briefly
outlined some of the benefits which may be accrued by
the florist trade at large by participating in the coming
Pageant of Progress, which is to be held in Chicago,
July 31 to Aug. 14, inclusive.

Mayor Thompson addressed the club regarding the
contemplated Pageant of Progress, and pointed out that
the florist industry was selected as one of the big indus-
tries to participate in this movement. It is planned that
the florists of Chicago occupy space equivalent to a city
block, and the heartiest support of everyone in the trade
is expected in this movement. The florists' exhibits, in
all likelihood, will be placed at the main entrance of this
great exhibition.

The mayor's address was heartily cheered by everj'one
present.

On motion of D. F. Simonds, duly seconded by \Vm.
J. Keimel, it was resolved that the Chicago Florists
Club and the committee of the Allied Florists Associa-
tion be empowered to engage space immediately for all
branches of the florist industry.

George Asmus presented the mayor with a basket of
Roses, and F, Lautenschlager presented his honor with
a basket of Carnations.

Upon conclusion of this part of the program, Mr.
Asmus released the gavel to President Kohout.

J. E. Pollworth. of the Pageant of Progress Commit-
tee, stated that the committee in connection with this
movement would welcome suggestions and ideas in ref-
erence to same.

Prof. H. B. Dorner Speaks

President Kohout next presented H. B. Dorner. pro-
fessor of floriculture at the University of Illinois. Ur-
bana. Professor Dorner has been appointed as a member
of the committee on horticultural education in connection
with the Pageant of Progress, and he stated that there
are lots of things we could show in connection with this
exhibition.

There are many ways of showing the progress made

;n this particular industry; for instance, the old time

method ot delivering flowers in the early sixties and

,,evcntics. compared with the F. T. D. service of the

■ '-■■-int time. We can shuw progress of nwdern grcen-

cunstruction by showing a view of some old green-

. compare<l with the present houses 80ft. wide. We

an also ^ho^v the progress of heating from the days of

he old tliie to the present water tube steam boilers. Flo-

, ists must not say : "We can't do it." We can make this a

.vonderfui exiiibition.

It was pointed out that the flower shows fomierlj- held
\t the Coliseum simply attracted people who were inter-
>tcd in flowers. The Pageant of Progress is quite
lilTcrent.

This exhibition will show the progress of the principal
ndustrics. the progress of art, commerce, science and
ducation, and naturally will bring people interested in
II the dilTercnt branches. These people will come to
he exhibition, interested as they are, and many of them
vill see a floral and horticultural exhibition for the first
ime.

; Wm. .1. Keimel stated that they expected to have
,'remier Roses on e.\hibition during the Pageant of
'rogress as good as shown at the New York flower
,how, or at any other time.

George .\smus pointed out that this exhibition would
|)en opportunities for big business for the florists, and

cited several instances of commercial aspects in connec-
tion with the recent New York flower show.

tierman .Scliau, Wm. Hennig and D. F. Simonds each
volunteered to ntake a cash donation to support this move-
ment. This matter was referred to the committee.

President Rollout next introduced Professor P. .\.
Lehenbauer of the Florists' Experiment Station of the
University of Illinois, Urbana, 111., whose paper, "What
We .\rc Learning .-Xbout Plants," will be found in our
wide measure colunms.
S. A. F. and O. H. Membership

.\ couuiuiuication was received from the Memlx:rship
Comiuittee of the S. A. F. and O. H. President Kohout
appoiiucd Paul Weiss as chairman of the local committee.
Mr. Weiss was instructed to select the balance of his
committee.

President Kohout called attention to the death of
W. W. Barnard, and appointed the following as a Com-
mittee on Resolutions : James Morton, C. E. Pollworth
and T. E. Waters.

Discussion upon the reorganization plan followed.
It was recommended that the members be given addi-
tional time to think this matter over, and same will come
up for discussion at a future meeting.

Richard Schmidt, of 4911 W. Quincy St., Chicago, in-
troduced John Cook, of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R., who
dwelt upon transportation for the coming S. A. F. and
O. H. convention. This matter was referred to the
Transportation Committee.

Secretary Lautenschlager called attention to the ques-
tionnaire sent out with the April notices, and for the
benefit of those who have not as yet sent in answers, the
secretary read oflf a numter of the questionnaires which
have come in. From all indications, the questionnaire
will be of great value to the mcmljers of the club, as it
oft'ers opportimity for each and every member to express
his individual desires. Many valuable suggestions were
forthcoming. Those who have not as yet sent in their
replies are kindly requested to attend to this matter im-
mediately.

E. A. Ollinger called attention to the fact that his
honor, the mayor, was taking part in the initiation of new
members at the Elks Lodge, and suggested that all flow-
ers on exhibition be sent to the Elks lodge room with
compliments of the florists of Chicago. This motion
was duly seconded and adopted. Mr. Ollinger was ap-
pointed as a committee of one to execute same. It was
reported that these flowers were handed out to all of the
Elks, and their ladies, and made a very favorable im-
pression.

There being no further business, the motion to adjourn
was carried.

The club rooms of the Chicago Florists Club were
beautifully decorated with palms and vases of long
stemmed Roses. There was also a basket of Joy's White
Carnations. These Carnations were presented to the mayor.

Stimulating the Habit of Buying
Flowers

By L. B. Ferk.\ld

.'Advertising Manager of the New Y'ork .
Evening Post
(From ail address made before the New York
Florists Club, April 11)

. There are two specific thoughts which seem to me the
;'OSt practical and important ones I can bring you.
■ Those two things are — habits and customers — habits
■id customers. To the business man they mean one and
'le same thing; a customer is one who has a regular
ibit of buying from him.

, Here is an illustration that fits your case better than
iiy other I can think of. A good many years ago there
(as a time when the telephone facilities exceeded the
,e made of them, quite a different situation from that
today. Theodore N. Vail had built up the telephone
rvice all over the country to a point where more busi-
(ss was needed — more telephone calls were needed to
;-ep the lines working profitably, and to permit of
vady expansion. Vail started in to advertise the tele-
one, to show its everyday usefulness and wide service
! the people. He showed how the telephone could be
l:d instead of a letter, instead of a telegram, instead
j a personal call, or a trip to another city. (And let
>; say parenthetically right here, that there isn't any

• estion that a large part of the present tremendous use

• the telephone is a result of this stimulation, through
:vertising, of the use of the telephone. The hold-up
I the increase in facilities to meet increasing demand,
i several years' interruption caused by the war, is an-
uer storj-.)

While this campaign was under way, one of the board
< directors is reported to have said to Mr. Vail, "Vail,
;iat's the idea of spending all the money in advertising^
-tead of in dividends? Advertising is all right for
Ings people don't know about— but everybody knows
■|Out the telephone."

'Yes," answered Vail, "everybody knows about the
tephone. But, damn it, they don't think about it
ough. It I can make them think about it oftener,
l:y'll use it oftener."

That is the principal message I want to bring you
t light. People don't think enough about flowers. Did
^u ever hear of anyone who didn't like flowers? There
1 t a person among the 7,000,000 in Greater New York
110 doesn't instinctively love flowers. But they don't
Ink enough about flowers. They go on with the hum-
Jjm of daily business life, daily home life, daily social
Is— without thinking about flowers, and how much
twers can mean to them. After all is said and done,
t: one big thing you need to do is to make them think
t'ener about flowers, is it not? For, the oftener they
ink about flowers, the oftener they'll buy flowers.
, robably this doesn't require proof; but let's prove

I anyway. What happens at Easter ? Easter without
twers? Everybody thinks about flowers at Easter—

I I everybody buys flowers. Your facilities are taxed
I the limit; you never have enough Easter Lilies; you
'nt have clerks enough; your delivery facilities are
c:rtaxed. Everybody wants flowers, because every-
l-.iy IS thinking about flozvers.

f the husband forgets to get flowers, the wife — and,
3|;, the children — remind him. The husband writes on

his calendar pad, "Get flowers." If the husband is for-
getful the wife telephones to him, "Don't forget to get
flowers." Very likely she plays it safe and gets the
flowers herself, and if he does remember after all,
everybody says, "That's all right ; you can't have too
many flowers in the home."

Think of that as an all-the-year-'round thought to keep
in everybody's mind — "You can't have too many flowers
in the home." Would your present sales of flowers be
a fraction of your sales if everybody kept thinking that?
My point is that you can keep them thinking that, by
newspaper advertising. There is, of course, an emphasis
on flo\yers at Easter time which doesn't exist at any
other time ; but after all, the principle is the same — the
principle of having everybody think about flowers.

As Theo. N. Vail would say "Everybody knows about
flowers — but damn it, they don't think often enough
about them." That is the great thing that your joint
campaign of advertising is doing; it is making people
tliink oftener about flowers ; and by making them think
oftener about flowers, they buy them oftener. The
buying of flowers is a good deal like the taking of baths
used to be — an occasional ceremony instead of a daily
habit. Anything you do often enough, regularly enough,
becomes a habit. At first it takes a lot of separate ac-
tions—constant reminding to do a certain thing — but
vfhen it becomes a habit, a part of your regular daily
life, it becomes automatic. You feel uncomfortable if
you don't do it ; you know something is wrong.

We must make flowers a universal habit with every-
body. That is the great function of newspaper adver-
tising. The least of its values is to have people buy
om-e ; its great value is in making people buy regularly,
in building up a great consuming market for your
goods. Now a person with the habit of buying a par-
ticular thing is a customer. And customers are what
keep a business alive, to say nothing of making it profit-
able. There isn't a man in this room who could live
as a florist on his transient, one-time sales. You must
have customers, who come to you regularly, who buy
today, and buy tomorrow and next week. And what
makes them customers? Simply the liabit of buying
flowers — and, incidentally, buying them from you. And
what got them in the habit of buying flowers? Why,
some way or other, being reminded often enough about
flowers so that they had flowers often enough to develop
a habit of flowers.

You have in your business a wonderful advantage
over hundreds of other businesses in this city — incessant
repeat sales. If you sell a family a piano, you're done,
so far as that family goes, for a generation — unless,
some years hence, you sell them a better piano — and
take an old second-hand one back, with the job of sell-
ing that piano to someone else. iThe only business you
can get from them is a semi-annual tuning. But when
you've started a flower habit, you've won a customer
who will steadily repeat, and you never have to take
your old product back. You can sell that family new
flowers as often as once a day; you can sell them as
large an order every time, and more than likely their
purchases will increase as time goes on. You're selling
them the most wonderful thing in the world, and the
most perishable. You can sell them the same kind of
flowers — from the very same plant, perhaps — over and
over again. You're selling them something on which
there must be continual repeat sales.

To show people the wide variety of flowers, the in-
finitely varied ways in which flowers can be used, your
in mind how tremendously worth while that accomplish-
advertising copy should be frequently changed; should
be newsy; should be as fresh and attractive as the flow-

ers you re selling. And, you producers of flowers must
take your own medicine; exactly the same medicine you
are giving the retail buyer of flowers.

■To successfully build up the habit of buying flowers
will require a habit of advertising flowers on your part.
Merely doing it spasmodically, now and then, at special
seasons, or on special days; won't do the job. It will
simply increase the amount of spasmodic sales— now
and then purchasing— instead of regular buying of flow-
ers ; transients instead of customers.

May I suggest that advertising requires exactly the
same treatment that the rest of your business requires.
The amateur gardener is always gefting discouraged be-
cause the seeds planted today aren't full-grown flowers
tomorrow; he is constantly "digging up the flowers to
see if they're growing." You experienced people don't
do that. You know that good seed or good plants, good
care, good growing conditions, will produce good flow-
ers. Years of experience, years of persistence in per-
fecting the development of flowers— persistence in the
face of disappointing early results— have given you suc-
cess. Your flowers of today exist because you have
had persistence and confidence in investing your money
m good seeds or good plants, and in stimulating their
growth by ideal growing conditions and cultivation.
Identically the same logic should give you the same con-
fidence m your advertising, for identically the same
logic applies.

For example, your greenhouses are to insure adequate
production of flowers, in season and out of season, re-
gardless of fluctuating weather conditions. You use
greenhouses, to be sure of having your plants started
growing right, and developed to the point where the
rest IS automatic. But the mere production of a large
quantity of flowers will be entirely useless if such pro-
duction cannot be readily sold. You need the green-
house cultivation of sales which advertising means. You
need to start your customers growing by cultivation
under glass.

The advertisement is a salesman, and it performs
exactly the same functions as a live salesman, except
that the advertisement talks to thousands or hundreds
of thousands, while the salesman can reach but one
person at a time. And the silent salesman can talk to
these thousands or these hundreds of thousands every
day if you want him to, without giving offence, or kill-
ing trade, as a personal salesman would. You can't
overdo it, for you are dealing with something everybody
hkes and wants and can buy. The possibilities develop-
ing the sales of flowers are simply tremendous. Doub-
ling your present business is only a beginning.

You are getting some of your advertising money
back already. You will get it all back— and more—
as every good advertiser does, in increased sales, which
in time become automatic. Not only will you make
your sales bigger, but you will have your future sales
insured, just as you have your property insured.

A joint campaign like yours may have its disappoint-
ments, and It is sure to take a lot of hard work; and it
will take the investment of more money than you will
get back right away. "You can't expect to plant seeds
today and have full-grown plants tomorrow."

Years ago I heard James J. Hill say to a group of
men in St. Paul, "I have lived a long life; I have ac-
complished a few things worth while; and I have
learned that nothing really great is ever accomplished
without an effort commensurate with its importance"

Getting 7,000,000 people to buy as many flowers as
they should buy is a "really great" job. If you keep
ment is, none of you will begrudge the "efJort commen-
siirate with its importance."

BOSTON SHOW

{Continued froTn -page 893)

mound of rocks and moss and ferns into which the
plants were set under the shade of a number of giant
Cibotium plants. The sides of the stage were covered
with cork bark and in pockets of this material Boston
ferns w^ere planted, so that the whole arrangement
seemed ven' natural. The other exhibitors also used
palms and ferns freely to set off the plants, which were
shown on sloping sides. An unusual feature was the
great basket filled with orchids shown by Julius Roehrs
Co. which certainly was a piece of art in every way.
This basket was about 8ft. high and just as wide, made
of solid, heavy sticks of Birch and it w-as most taste-
fully arranged with a wealth of the finest blooms.
Odontoglossoms, Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, Cymbidiums
and many other varieties were employed to make a com-
bination such as is not often seen. The handle of the
basket was gracefully hid with fine sprays of orchids
and Spanish moss helped to bring out the colors won-
derfully. In the exhibit of A. C. Burrage we found,
among hundreds of others, the following varieties:
Laelio-Cattleya Callistoglossa, Vanda Lamata, Cattleya
Schroederae alba, Cypripediums of more than thirty va-
rieties, Odontioda spectabilis, Orchidvale var., Brasso-
Cattleya Eileen, B.-C. Sedenii var. Rosalind, B.-C. Em-
press of Russia, Odontoglossum Amandum, Miltonia
Dantandre, Cattleya Schrceders "-< Duesseldorf Undine,
C. O'Brianianum alba, C. Queen of Italy, Brassia vari-
cosa, Bifrenaria Arizonae, etc. This group (200 sq. ft.),
for private growers only, received first prize.

In the class for commercial growers (200 sq. ft.),
Julius Roehrs Co., was first with a great collection of
many species and varieties, also taking the $500 cup
offered by C. A. Burrage. Some of the noteworthy
varieties were; Collection of Odontiodas (silver medal),
in which were noted Nada, Bradshawias, Zenobia, Co-
linge, Diana, etc.; Cymbidium insigne, C. Beatrice, C.
Schlegelii, C. Pauwelsii, C Gottianum; Miltonia vexil-
laria ; Saccolabium _ Blumei ; Cattleya Cappei alba, C.
Empress Frederick; Odontiodas, Brasso-Cattleyas and
Brasso-Lselio Cattleyas in var. ; Cypripedium Maudias,
C. Ypres, C. Oakes Ames; Cattleya Mossis alba and
Phaius Sanderiana. This group was banked against a
background of Kentias and Arecas, among the fronds
of which spikes of Cymbidiums were conspicuous.

Arthur N. Cooley, Pittsiield, Mass., staged a most
select lot of choice varieties, receiving first prize in
class for private growers (100 sq. ft.). We may men-
tion Cattleya Schrcederse Queen of Belgians, C. Dainty,
C. speciosissima Stanleyii, C. Magali Sanderje, C. Mos-
sije Bernickiana, Brasso-Cattleya Speciosa grandis,
B.-C. Vilmoriana, B.-C. Queen Alexandra, Lselio-Catt-
leya luminosa Mandaianum, Saphro-Laslia-Cattleya
Meuse var. General Nivelle, Epidendron-Cattleya Guate-
malense and Odontioda Lambeanium.

J. T. Butterworth, Framingham, Mass., as usual, had

a lot of choice varieties and his arrangement of the
plants was very effective. He received first for group
of 100 sq. ft. ; group of 50 sq. ft. and first-class certifi-
cate for Cypripedium J. T. Butterworth. Among the
plants we noted Odontoglossum Royal Purple, Onci-
dium concolor. Dendrobium Ainsworthii, D. Nobile
\'eitch var., Odontoglossum Ardentissimum, Cypripe-
dium Olivia. C. Geo. McWilliams. C. Thaucome, C.
Marne, C. Euphrates and Cymbidium insigne var. San-
derae.

Walter Hunnewell (T. D. Hatfield, supt), took first
for group of splendid Dendrobiums and Cymbidiums
and also received a silver medal, while his grower, John
Uffman, received a cultural certificate for superior cul-
ture of Cymbidiums.

Cut Orchids

The displays of cut orchids were numerous, too nu-
merous to mention separately (refer to awards). MuUer-
Sealy Co., New York, exhibited a vase of Cymbidium
spikes which were cut in Belgium five Aveeks ago and
which showed not the least sign of passing off.

Azalea Sander!

In the orchid hall were shown a number of other
plants, foremost among which were the Holm Lea
Azaleas of Charles Sander. These plants (Azalea San-
deri) filled the whole of the podium. They are very
similar to the Kurume Azaleas and have about the same
range of shades. A gold medal w-as awarded this group.
Charles Sander also exhibited Rhododendron obtusum
album, which was sent from China to England in 1846
and has been cultivated at Holm Lea for more than 60
years. This Rhododendron has recently been reintro-
duced into European gardens, from which it had been
lost for a long time. It w^as awarded a silver medal.
Another silver medal was the award for Azalea Hilda
Hedlung, a very fine pink variety. Charles Sander also
had Azalea Tebotan, rose pink, half double, and a dark
red seedling, Valstakyana X C. S. Sargent, with very
large dark pink flowers.

Taiwania cryptomerioides, a very interesting ever-
green, was shown by the Arnold Arboretum for the first
time in this country. It is a very rare conifer from the
mountains of Formosa and is considered the tallest tree
in Asia or Europe, wherever it can be grown. It is not
hardy here. The tree was introduced by the Arbore-
tum and the foilage looks much like that of an Arau-
caria in its young stages, but the branches are lighter
and droop considerably in the specimen shown.

It may interest many to know that E. H. Wilson
brought the first of this plant to the Arboretum from
whence it was distributed in time to Europe, Australia
and various points in the U. S. A. It is hardy in Cali-
fornia. When Wilson, who had been aware of the
existence of the plant in Japan, tried to find it there,
the Japanese did not believe that he would succeed. He
got four plants, leaving one in the botanical garden in
Tokio, one at Kew, England, and one each in St Louis
and the Arboretum in Boston.

The Boston Cut Flower Co. showed a large basket

of Hadley Roses, for which a bronze medal ya ;
awarded.

The only display of cut hybrid perpetual Roses wj ,
made by Thos. Proctor, who showed a splendid selei
tion of eight varieties: Paul Neyron, Mrs. R. G. Sha: .
man Crawford, Clio, Ulrich Brunner, Frau Ka I
Druschki, Magna Charta, CHiristine Miller and Mr .,
John Laing.

Cut Flowers

The smaller hall was filled mostly with Carnation
Sweet Peas and other cut flowers. The (Tarnation e.^
hibit was a credit to the many growers who sent the:
floW'Crs ; better Carnations have seldom been shown an
hardly ever as many of them. The gold medal vas
of Laddie, shown by S. J. Goddard, was an ej'e opene
to the visiting Carnationists. Blooms of such sizt
finish and coloring are seldom seen. The display covei
ing 100 sq. ft. arranged for decorative effect won fir;
prize. It was shown by Wm. Sim, arranged by Sidne
Hoffman, and it was a fine sight. Fancy baskets an
vases of various fine designs were used to hold the flow
ers, and Asparagus and ferns did the rest. The ai
rangement was banked high against the wall, filling th
whole of one end of the room.

In the class of 25 blooms Coombs's Laddie Wn
Sim's Belle Washburn and W. D. Howard's Mrs. War
and Bernice were flowers of first-class quality. R. I
Wadsworth showed several of his seedlings one c
w-hich. Dawn, secured first prize, like all the above \"<
rieties. Almost without exception the entries which di
not go into the first prize lot were as good or bette
than are often seen at shows taking first. The flower
kept well, almost to the very end; after five days Morr
ing Glow, White Delight and Pink Delight were pract
cally like fresh cut flow^ers.

Of Antirrhinums there were shown only two entrie
with S. J. Goddard taking first prize. Sweet Peas wer
shown in a few varieties by two growers only, but nc
good enough to mention specially.

Specimen Flowering Plants

A number of plants exhibited in this room deserv
attention. Among these are specimen plants of Cai
ceolaria hybrida from Wm. Roech. They were of goo
size and showed careful culture. A display of SainI
paulia ionantha from Wollrath & Son was much ac
mired. The same can be said of the hybrid Begonia
shown by J. A. Peterson of Cincinnati and the nei
seedling Begonia "Betty Farr" shown by Mrs. Belt
Farr of Stoneham. This Begonia is really a dwar
growing double Mrs. Patten, well adapted for beddin
and basket work. Other plants in the room were larg
plants of the almost forgotten Senecio multibracteat;
a beautiful daisylike flower of a pleasant light purpl
color w-ith golden eye. Scoparia Andreana compact'
was another, both plants being shown by N. T. Kiddei

Walter Hunnewell showed the new Rose, "Rosa Hu'
gonis," finely flowered ; it found general appreciation
with its wealth of golden flowers and fresh foliagij
W. Hunnewell also showed a display of Choisya ter
nata.

Bulbs in flower were shown by E. A. Clark who ha-
a fine display covering 50 sq. ft. which contained
large number of varieties of "Tulips Narcissi, Hya
cinths, etc., all of them extra well grown and flowerec
Faulkner Farm also exhibited a notable display of cu
Narcissi in choice varieties.

The new Carnation, Mrs. Grace Coolidge, exhibitei
for the first time by Wm. Sim of Cliftondale, was th
wonder of the show. Mr. Sim put up a great vase o
this flower, which was awarded a silver medal. It i
a flower of good size, white, striped crimson, somewha
like Benora.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society and American Rose Society Combination Show,

Boston, Mass., April 6 to 10

Exhibit of Kurume Azaleas of J. S. .\mes of North Eaaton, Mass.. which was awarded a gold medal. It would require the pen

of an accomplished w ord painter, who must naturally also understand the character of flowers, to adequately describe this wonderful

exhibit. Read about it: second column, page 893.

American Rose Society

A meeting of the Executive Committee of the .\mericai
Rose Society was held in Horticultural Hall, Boston, oi
April 7. Nearly all the directors were present, and thi
guests included ex-Secretary White and Thos. N. Cook

After the secretary's and treasurer's reports had beei
read, H. J. McFarland reported that the 1921 Rose An
nual had been mailed to members.

There was a long discussion in regard to increasinf
membership, and several of the directors pledged them
selves to bring in 25 members each before the end of tlii
Simimer.

The annual meeting of the society was set for June 2
1921, in Washington, D. C, at which time Rose garden:
in the vicinity of Washington will be visited, and specia
inspection of the Van Fleet Roses will be made.

As a part of the American Rose Society program, a'
the Boston flower show, lectures were given each after-
noon, as follows ;

Wednesday, April 6, Robert Pyle gave an illustrate<
talk on the gardens of Europe and America, showinj
pictures of the .\merican Rose Society gardens in Hart-
ford, Minneapolis and Portland, also many beautiful pic-
tures of the Bagatelle Gardens in Paris and the Roscru
de'l Hay, just outside of Paris.

,."riday, Chas. II. Totty tuld of his trip to England and

ancc last Summer and uf his visits to the various Rose
trdens there, comparing the cluiiatic conditions with
»]se here, and telling particularly of some of the newer
■ises which he believed to be of value for outdoor
I nting.

■Saturday, Wni. N. Craig gave a most practical talk on
ildoor Roses in New England, giving in detail the steps
iressary for success with each class of Rose in this
I'ticular climate, recommending varieties, methods of
1 nting and the combating of insects and diseases.

>unday, B. S. Lctson, of Boston, spoke on flower ar-
iigements in the home, illustrating with cut Roses which
)d been supplied for the ocaision by Mr. Roland, and
'lich were afterward distributed among the audience.
'.ireat interest was manifested in all the lectures, the
. cndancc averaging about 200.

\t the suggestion of the Massachusetts Horticultural
;ciety, the Rose Society had showcards recommending
■rieties of Roses suitable for planting in New England.
'.:ese cards were placed in the entrance hall and attracted
leat attention. John C. Wister, Secretary.

The Complimentary Dinner

rhe allied horticultural interests of Boston tendered a
miplimcntary dinner to visiting rosarians and other
jests at the Parker House, April 6. About 75 members
( the various organizations sat down to a table laden
'th all the viands and delicacies of the season (not to

i-get lobster) and a good time was soon under way.
^dge C. W. Hoitt acted as toastraaster in his inimitable
Vie, proposing a toast to the American Rose Society
;id Massachusetts Horticultural Society, after which he
tied on Robert Pyie, president of the American Rose

ciety. Mr. Pyle mentioned that of the 2500 members
( the American Rose Society, about 300 were commer-
c 1 Rose men, and he appealed for greater aid from the
!ide elements, it being to their benefit to support as much
; possible a society which does such great and important
■irk in all lines connected with Rose culture.

.\lbert C. Burrage, president of . the Massachusetts
^^rticultural Society, responded for the latter and re-
t ved a rousing welcome. Mr. Burrage, who is also the
,;sident of the newly formed American Orchid So-
' ty, put in a sincere plea for the preservation of the
:tive orchids, which stand in great danger of utter ex-
•■mination, through deforestation and wanton waste.
.'I spoke of a collection of about 40 varieties of native
':hids which he had accumulated, and also mentioned
fit on April 23 he would exhibit the same in flower in
:)rticultural Hall. He has about a thousand plants of
1 ^se native orchids, and those to be sh' wn have been

■ ced and are sure to make an interesting display.

iVm. N. Craig was the next speaker. He responded

■ the professional gardener, and soon made the sparks
5 when he mentioned that large commercial houses grew
iiess variety of Roses, Carnations, etc., and were far
|s interested in plants than smaller houses with
sailer gardens, containing a greater assortment
I plants. He intimated that the commercial man
: 3 far less pleasure out of the plants he grows than
1 ■ professional gardener, because he lacks sentiment, and
1 ;ards his plants only as a means to return him dollars
; lore.

Charles H. Totty said that New York could not ap-
; 3ach Boston's proudest displays, but could do ■^ ery well
'th Roses, and he commented on the late Grand Central

lace show, which was visited by about 100,000 people.

Thomas Roland, president of the Society of American

orists, compared the New York and Boston shows.
! : urged hearty support for the coming Cleveland show,
(d mentioned the fact that $55,000 had to be taken in

fore there could be any profit, which means that every
:m must do his duty if it is to be a success.

John K. M. L. Farquhar spoke of his hunt for various

ises in Japan, Russia and Scotland, and commented on

e culture of some of the beautiful species, many of

lich were not sufficiently appreciated.

John H. Dunlop, of Toronto, was in good humor, talk-

J entertainingly of Roses in general, and mentioning,
::identally, that he had some good seedlings up his

:eve.

Wm. H. Elliott could not refrain from commenting on
'2 glories of California, especially its alpine flora. He

lieved that Boston had the best system of Rose grading

■ any of the large cities.

W. A. Manda spoke on the big field now open for Rose
bridizers. In size, perfume and freedom of flowers he
ought no climber of today is better than the old Gloire

Dijon.
^Henry Penn had a few good words to say for the re-
iler, and did not miss the chance to impress the need of
fficient publicity to make any show a success.
■Eugene Dailledouze spoke for the New York growers.

WliL-u lie wanted ;i good time, he said, he always came
to Boston, where he was sure to find it.

A. J. Loveless of Lenox was the last speaker. He
enumerated the many good features of the Boston show,
which he called the best ever.

The decoraliiin.s (which Mr. Craig commented on in
the teginning of his speech) consisted of Carnations,
Marguerites, Lilies and bulbous flowers.

Notes from the Big Show

The lectures given under the auspices of the American
Rose Society each day during the five day Rose show in
Horticultural Hall, were largely attended by amateurs
and professionals alike. The lecture room was always
crt)wded to its limits: the audience consisting of many
women who took the greatest interest in the proceedings
and who were much less bashful about asking questions
than the men. .\11 the lectures were beautifully illus-
trated by colored lantern slides

The show was opened for the benefit of the school
children on Sunday morning from 10 to 1 p.m. No ad-
mission was charged.

Charles S. Strout of Biddeford, Me., said of the gold
medal vase of Laddie Carnation that there is no greater
Carnation than Laddie ; that no man can grow Laddie
better than Samuel J. Goddard and that his Laddie at the
show were the best that ever were grown anywhere.
So, if Strout says so, there can be no doubt about it.

The directors of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety gave an informal luncheon, in the directors' room,
on the opening day, to the exhibitors at the show.

Miss Emma Ecker, the well known soprano singer of
Boston, graciously volunteered to give a series of "Spring
songs" during the show on Sunday afternoon. Miss
Ecker has just lately returned from a three years' ab-
sence in Europe, where she completed her studies. She is
the sister of Joseph Ecker, Boston's great baritone singer.

The retail florists of Boston came in for a great deal
of adverse criticism on account of their almost entire
absence in the matter of exhibits. Only two retailers in
the big city of Boston found it worth while to show the
public -vvhat they can do. The suggestion has been made
that another time the retailers might be induced, through
their trade organization, to make a concerted effort,
which cannot fail to redound to their credit and eventual
benefit.

Anent the Kurume Azaleas which attracted such a lot
of attention at the show : Julius Heurlin, proprietor of the
Blue Hill Nurseries, said that he has found these plants
entirely hardy. He received a lot of two year old plants,
late last Fall, and planted them outdoors, protecting them
with a single layer of Pine boughs, so that the plants
could easily be seen under their covering. This Spring
they are absolutely perfect, the buds ready to burst open
and not a leaf missing.

Patten & Co. exhibited a vase of the new Carnation
Thomas C. Joy, of which they are the distributers. The
flower is pure white, well fringed and deliciously and
strongly scented. The variety has proved a free bloomer
and a splendid keeper and shipper. The 50 flowers at the
show looked good.

The new seedling Rosalind from Strout's, Biddeford,
Me., which was exhibited at the show, found many ad-
mirers. It is a beautiful, fine flower, strongly scented
and fringed, and it looks like a good shipper. 'The guard
petals are white, while the inner ones are a medium rose
pink; the form is fine, with a well rounded center.

A very complete list of Rose literature was offered for
free distribution at the series of lectures given by the
American Rose Society during the show week. The
pamphlet was prepared by the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society, and contains a list of all the books per-
taining to Rose culture and history. The books can all
be found in the society's library. A special list contains
the names of books to be found in the library of the
Arnold Arboretum.

National Flower Growers Association

Ohio District

We have recently had two successful organization
meetings of the Ohio District of the N. F. G. A., one
March 31, at Hotel Ohio in Youngstown, the other on
April 7, at the Waldorf, in Toledo. In both cities 95 per
cent of the attendance signed application blanks for mem-
bership, and the balance signified their intention so to do
as soon as they consulted absent associates. Altogether,
owners of between 500,000 and 600,000 sq. ft. of glass
signed up and handed in appilcation blanks for member-
ship.

Meetings were scheduled on the afternoon of April 12,
for Springfield, on the same evening in Dayton, and on
Wednesday evening, the 13th, in Cincinnati. Later meet-
ings will be held in Canton and Cleveland. J. F. Ammann
has expressed his intention to be present in Springfield,
Dayton and Cincinnati. George Bate, Secretary,

Western New York Florists

Under the auspices of the publicity committee of this-
organization a banquet will be held on Friday evening,
April 22, 7 p.m., at the Iroquois Hotel, Buffalo. Speakers
of the evening will be J. F. Ammann and Herman Knoble
of Cleveland, their topics embracing the growing and
marketing of flowers and the relation of advertising
thereto. There will alsp be a social program, the com-
mittee sparing no efforts in making this an educational
as well as a social evening. Retailers and growers are
cordially invited to attend and are assured of a hearty
welcome. The intent of the meeting is to endeavor to
assist the National Flower Growers in organizing and
setting in motion the wheels of publicity in other localities.

The Florists' Exchange

What We Are Learning About Plants?

By Professor Lehenbatier of the Florists' Exp. Station

of the University of Illinois, Urbana, III, before

the Chicago Florists Club, April 8, 1921

In my paper read at the recent meeting of the Illinois
State Florists, I pointed out the more important prin-
ciples underlying the use of fertilizers. Commercial
fertilizers when applied to soils, often show a direct
effect on the growth of plants and it is unquestionably
true that there is a direct relation between plant growth
and soil fertility as measured by plant food materials.
However, plant growth and, hence, production, are not
dependent entirely upon the chemical composition of
soils. Other factors are involved and these often come
noticeably into play. With your permission, I shall take
this opportunity to point out briefly some of these fac-
tors which influence the growth of plants. I should
like to give data and experimental evidence in support
of the facts I present but this is not possible in a brief
paper. I can merely point out to you a few of the more
outstanding facts that ha\'e been discovered in the last
few years and my hope is that you may find these dis-
coveries not only of interest, but that you may find in
them some suggestions wdiich will prove of use as well.

Action oE Manure Depends on Bacteria

In my recent paper I emphasized the fact that it is
not only necessary to have present in soil certain chemi-
cal substances in minimum quantities, but that these
substances must be in available form, I pointed out
also the importance of natural manures. By natural
manures I mean not only the usual stable manures, but
include in that term all forms of plant material such as
cover crops plowed under and also all residues of dead
vegetation.

Manures furnish not only an ideal physical substra-
tum for plant growth but they contain also food ma-
terials, especially nitrogen, in quantity. This nitrogen,
however, is largely in an unavailable form — that is, in
a form that cannot be used directly by plants. The
nitrogen in manures must be changed from its organic,
unavailable form into an available form.

This change is brought about by means of small liv-
ing organisms known as bacteria. These forms live in
the soil. There are frequently from 30 to 100 millions
of them in one gram of soil. This little army of work-
ers is constantly at work transforming the organic ma-
terials into other forms, and curiously enough, there is
involved a high degree of specialization of labor. One
group of organisms carries out the first step in the
process. A second group another step, and still a third
carries the process to final completion. With the work
of this little army of bacteria, the growing plant is inti-
mately bound up. In fact, the whole existence of the
plant is dependent upon it, for it is this little army of
workers which transforms manures into nitrates, which
are essential for the growth of the plant. There is a
distinct relationship then between bacterial activity and
the productiveness of soil.

Plants Helped by Micro-Organisms

Let me impress upon you that the soil bacteria are
living forms. As living forms they demand, as do our
green plants, certain favorable conditions for growth
and for their activities. These little organisms will not
thrive in a wet soil; neither will they thrive in a soil
which is acid in reaction, and they, too, have their pref-
erences for a certain degree of warmth. Under un-
favorable conditions, not only will they not thrive but,
curiously enough, their activities are displaced by the
work of bacteria which are a detriment. These detri-
mental forms do not form nitrates, instead they actu-
ally destroy the nitrates which were manufactured by
the useful forms.

It is quite evident then that in growing plants, we
must keep soil conditions favorable for the nitrogen
bacteria. Whatever affects injuriously, the nitrogen bac-
teria, affects in a similar way the growth of the plant.
The two are intimately related in their activities. When
conditions are such that the nitrate bacteria thrive and
multiply we have reasonable assurance that the organic
materials in the soil are being transformed and that the
plant receives an adequate supply of nitrogen.

Bacterial Apaches

Let me call to your attention still another factor
operating in soils. I mentioned the group of organisms,
the several forms of which are useful in that they de-
compose the organic nitrogenous manures in the soil and
form available nitrogen compounds which the plant
requires. I have stated also that there is a second
group which, when conditions are unfavorable for the
activities of the useful forms, thrive and become harm-
ful because they undo the wofk of the useful forms.
There is still a third group which appears to be of great
importance. Frequently we meet with a situation ap-
parently the soil of which contains abundant food ma-
vterials; these food materials are in available form, and,
furthermore, other conditions, such as temperature and
^moisture, are undoubtedly favorable to growth. But,

after a period of time, our plants fail to respond under
these favorable conditions and productiveness decreases.
Such a phenomenon, commonly known as soil sickness,
is probably of most frequent occurrence in greenhouses.
How can we explain this anomalous situation.' It is be-
lieved, and we have much evidence for our belief, that
the soil harbors a third group of organisms which, al-
though they do not affect directly plant growth, are
harmful indirectly, in that they apparently destroy the
useful forms while they themselves multiply rapidly.
In other words, so-called sick soils are sick, not be-
cause there is a lack of plant food materials, or be-
cause there is acidity or possibly even because the tem-
perature or moisture conditions are unfavorable, but
because there is an unbalanced condition in the bacterial
life of the soil. The useful workers: those which pro-
duce available food, are in minority while the non-
producers, the parasites in the soil world, are in ma-
jority.

The Value of Sterilization

This is not fiction. Although many of the details still
need solution, the essential facts are based upon scien-
tific experiment. To give you all the evidence is not
possible, for it is a long story; permit me to say only
that if such sick soils are partially sterilized with heat,
or if treated with disinfectants, as carbon bisulphide or
toluene, the productive properties of the soil reappear.
Apparently, this is because the harmful forms are more
susceptible to these treatments than are the useful forms
and, consequently, on the application of disinfectants,
the parasitic forms are destroyed while the useful work-
ers again multiply and carry on their productive work.

Under natural conditions, that is, under conditions
outdoors, so-called soil sickness is less conspicuous and
probably of less frequent occurrence. This is probably
due to the fact that outdoor soil is subjected to more
variable conditions, such as changes of temperature and
changes of moisture content. Outdoor soils are sub-
jected to heavy freezing during the Winter months, also
to heavy, drenching rains periodically throughout most
of the year, which is not the case in the greenhouse.
Because of the latter fact, the so-called "water cure"
for sick soils has recently been advocated, based on the
assumption that soil sickness is brought about by the
accumulation of salts near the soil surface. The latter
assumption is not justifiable in all cases, however, for
soil sickness seems to occur in greenhouses during the
Winter months when soil evaporation is not great and
certainly but little concentration of the salts near the
surface occurs. However, whatever the underlying
causes may be, the water cure may be effective in some
cases.

Soil Sickness in the Open

Soil sickness, although more conspicuous and also
apparently of more frequent occurrence in greenhouses,
is found also out of doors. Cases of soil sickness of
field soils have been reported and some have been care-
fully investigated. These experiments have shown two
important facts : first, that there is in sick soils, a re-
duction in number of the useful bacteria and secondly,
that the presence of large amounts of organic materials
in soil favors soil sickness.

The theory often has been advanced that soil sick-
ness is due to the accumulation of toxic or poisonous
substance in the soil. Some investigations seem to have
shown that the decomposition of the organic material in
soils results in products which e.xert harmful effects
upon succeeding generations of the same, or of differ-
ent, plants. Others have given some evidence that the

i

plant itself excretes into soil substances which are
jurious to succeeding crops. Whether these views i^
correct is not known. At present the experimental i ■
and the resulting conclusions concerning soil toxins j
not yet accepted without question by all investiga ;
and students of the problems of soil productivity. Tl :
is much evidence which apparently shows that .
toxins are not involved but, as pointed out above, ' f"
the detrimental factor is a biological one, that i:
living organism. We find justification for this view
the fact that when partial sterilization by means of 1 :
is resorted to, or when certain disinfectants are
plied, the detrimental factor disappears and the prod i
five powers of the soil reappear. In a short time a
this treatment, the useful bacteria increase rapidly
number. If a small amount of untreated soil is ad
to the treated soil, in a few weeks there is again a
duction in number of these bacteria. In other woi
this evidence seems to show that whatever the harm
factor may be it is, presumably, living or biological
character.

Chemical Sterilization I

The treatment of soils by means of disinfectants m'
now be extensively investigated in our greenhouses,
is not unlikely that in course of time, as our stud
continue, we will be able to find a definite treatm
for the so-called sick soils and it, too, is not unlik
that in the application of the above principles we v
find a solution of the problem of the ill effects result!
from the continued use of soils in our benches.

At the present time, the outstanding fact of these d
coveries is that the soil medium, in which our grei
house plants grow, is not a simple dead material bui
living world in itself inhabited by different groups
organisms, some essential, others destructive. This i
plies that in the treatment of soils, the problem is i
only one of the applications of proper fertilizers t
one much greater and more difficult. It is the esta
lishment of the proper balance in the populations of t
various forms of soil inhabitants and, at the same tin
the maintenance of proper soil conditions for the a
tivities of the useful groups. In other words,, the si
is a complex of many factors, some useful, some indi
ferent, others harmful. Some of these are, by natui
living organisms and, therefore, a mere quantitati
chemical analysis of soils is not a true index of t
productive power of the soil.

Sensitiveness of Plants

There is still another line of thought I wish to preset
I have pointed out the intimate relation that exists b
tween plant growth and nutrients in the soil on the oi
hand and the important relation between these nutrien
and the soil bacteria on the other. The plant also
intimately bound up with the various factors whic
make up its aerial environment, that is, with the varioi
conditions above soils. The plant is a living organist
As such, it is responsible to the various factors of tt
environment to a marked degree, I need only reca
such examples as the Mimosa, commonly called tl
Sensitive Plant. This plant is truly sensitive, respora
ing to the slightest touch by closing its leaflets, Tt
common Dandelion opens its flowers only in light, tl
Crocus, on the other hand, disregards light and refust
to open its flowers unless there is a certain degree c
warmth. The opening and closing of the Crocus flow
ers is a direct response to temperature. We all agre
that the human eye is very sensitive to light, yet, som
seedling plants will respond to a flicker of light whic
the human eye cannot detect.

What Gas Can Do

The plant is equally sensitive to poisons. Let m
illustrate again by means of illuminating gas. Flower
and buds of Carnations are extremely sensitive to thi
gas in the air. One part of illuminating gas in 40,00
parts of air will kill young buds in three days and th
same amount will prevent the opening of those whici
show color of the petals. Carnation flowers close afte
an exposure of 12 hours to one part of illuminatini
gas in 80,000 parts of air. And yet, some of our cus
tomers wonder why the flowers which they purchase
only yesterday from the florist did not keep better!

One part of illuminating gas in 1000 of air will causi
the leaves of Salvia, Tomato, Hibiscus and other plant:
to fall. In order to detect illuminating gas by th<
sense of smell, at least one part to 400 parts of air mus
be present. One of the constituents of illuminating ga:
is ethylene. One part of ethylene in 1,000,000 parts o:
air prevents opening of Carnation buds after thre<
days, and one part in 3,000,000 causes mature flower;
to close in twelve hours. The Sweet Pea seedling wil
stop growing entirely when the air contains 1 part o:
ethylene in 10,000,000 parts of atmosphere. In fact, s
Sweet Pea seedling grown in the dark will detect trace:
of ethylene that we cannot detect by means of the most
delicate chemical tests.

The Summing Up

What do these facts and illustrations indicate? They
indicate that the plant, because of its extreme sensitive-

fii Native Species

;"e must not forget to make mention of the American
pies of this group of plants represented by trifida and
eMifolia. While it is true they do not have the same
lorative value nor are they so popular as the Asiatic
:i' s yet they have a place to fill in some plantings.

)r instance, whereas the showy exotic kinds must
isl abundance of sunlight to succeed well, these two
laje species will thrive in a rather shaded position and
n also stand a more severe climate than the others.

hile not possessing the stately proportions of the
ir ital kinds, they are by virtue of their dwarf habit
ifjrowth, very adaptable for many positions where
li( arge growing ones would be quite out of place.

stly they lengthen out the season of bloom right
m Summer with flowers of a yellow shade though, for
h: matter, the flowers are perhaps not their chief
tt ction but rather the metallic green foliage which is
le . decorative and persistent.

'' e habit of growth of these plants is such that
n igation is effected by division as one would a Peony
r ydrangea hortensia.

5 ft wood cuttings are also readily rooted in Sum-
iq but the young plants should be wintered the first
Ja n, under the protection of a cool greenhouse or
ol rame so as to preserve all growth possible up to

I comparison with the showy and more decorative

le re, and so divisional propagation will usually give
siiough young stock in very much less time, since

Why Not Pernettyas?

Kch has been said for berry bearing plants and
arts for garden and other decoration but, as far as
urnowledge goes, no one ever puts in a word for

latter in Baltimore to lecture before the Florists' Club of Baltimore,
and the "Rose Friends" of Maryland on Tuesday, April 12, in the
Southern Hotel Grill Room.

the Pernettya. Indeed, one might almost assume that
there is a conspiracy against this wonderful family
of berry bearing shrubs. Is there another group or
family of dwarf growing shrubs which produces tre-
mendous crops of bright China-like berries in purple,
blue, red, white and pink shades? If there is, we have
never seen them, whereas we have oftentimes seen the
Pernettvas as handled by the florists in England.

Considering the fact that growers up and down the
country are successfully handling Azaleas, Rhododen-
drons, Ericas and other peat loving plants, we are un-
able to understand why the Pernettya is neglected.
A consultation with Bailey's Cyclopedia provides the
information that "The Pernettyas are low, much
branched shrubs with dense small evergreen leaves and
small flowers, followed by very decorative berries vary-
ing in color from white to purplish black and remain-
ing on the branches all the Winter. These exceedingly
pretty shrubs are great favorites in England, but are
little known in this country. P. muehonata and P.
angustifolia, the hardiest, are probably hardy in shel-
tered positions as far North as New York."

And even if they were not wholly hardy, consider
their value as a pot plant for florists' use in the
Winter. The writer feels he is doing himself a bad
turn by drawing attention to these plants, instead of
starting in to work up a big stock to let loose upon a
novelty seeking market.

The propagation is carried on either by seeds, cuttings,
layers or suckers. Like all similar subjects, the plants
are slow growers. Although well known in England,
they are not exactly common and few concerns handle
them solely for cutting. Prior to the war, an old es-
tablished German grower named Wermig grew an ex-
tensive block of Pernettyas on the peaty soil of his
nur-'='"ries near Wokin^. and he never failed to bring un
to Covent Garden sheaves of Pernettyas along with
other lines each Fall. Wermig was truly a hardy plants-
man for the whole year around he was on the spot with
flowers or shrubs cut from the open ground.

Regarding the Pernettyas, if stock is not available
seed surely will be. P. muehonata grows about 3ft. and
has white to dark purple fruit. Many varieties of it
have been raised in English and Holland nurseries, in-
cludinaf alba, atropurpurea, rnccinia. Hlac'"a. ni<Tra.
purpurea, rosea, sanguinea, Druramondi, Cummingii,
speciosa, fioribunda, etc. Some of these are doubtless
hybrids. P. angustifolia resembles it somewhat and is,
perhaps, just a narrow leaved form. Other species
are ciliaris. black fruit, furens. brownish fruit. Pent-
landi, dark blue fruit, phyllvresfolia. dark fruit, runi-
eola, dark fruit, pilosa, pumila, prostrata, and ampetri-
folia, all bearing colored fruits. In all instances, the
flowers are either white or pink, and are attractive dur-
ing May or June. The Pernettyas are close relatives
of the Gaultheria of which there is one or two native
species.

Propagating Sweet Peas

While seed is the recognized and only sound principle
(if propagation, ccstly varieties are sometimes worth in-
creasing from cuttings. While the writer has, in the
p.-ist, propagated many thousands of the late flowering
varieties, he has never ventured to declare that plants
raised from cuttings are equal to those raised from seed.
.S.iuie declare there is no difference in vigor or time of
lliiwering, some have even proclaimed that it is pos-
sil)le to keep taking cuttings and so raise hundreds of
plants from a few seeds. Such statemeiUs, however,
are perversions of the truth. Rooted cuttings com-
mence to bloom earlier, but do not usually compare with
seedlings. The only gain is that rooted cuttings double
one's stock and thereby provide a greater opportunity
for securing seed of semi-sterile varieties. The time
to take the cuttings is restricted entirely to the seedling
period. Cuttings from flowering plants in the open always
defied our efiforts to root them and many striking
cross-brcds were lost thereby; no seed setting in the
usual way. Cuttings are best taken off with a sharp
knife or scissors when the seedlings have four clear joints
and a growing point. Remove the lower leaves and
trim the base to come just below the joint. It is from
the nodes that roots are emitted.

On no account take cuttings too soon, leave at least
one pair of leaves on the plant, otherwise it will surely
die. On the other hand, do not let the plants run too
leggy before taking off the tops. Insert the cuttings
in clean sand either on a bench or in a box deep enough
to permit a pane of glass on top. A glass cover is es-
sential, but great heat is not desirable. A bottom heat
at about 60deg. is ample. Wipe the glass daily and
shade from hot sunshine, but give plenty of light
for the growth of the cutting continues all the time,
as if it were on the plants. Roots appear in about ten
days to two weeks. Potting off should be done as soon
as the roots are half an inch long and for a day or
two the young plants should be kept close. Kept moist
and close, no cutting is easier to handle than the Sweet
Pea cutting. Good management will result in 100 per
cent; a careless move and one may not only lose the cut-
tings, but the plants also.— W.

Tennessee Chooses the Passion Flower

Although we hardly understand why the news did not
sooner come to our attention, we are glad now to note in
the March issue of the Southern Fruit Grower that Ten-
nessee IS well on its way to the possession and legali-
zation of a State flower. During the Summer of 1920
the matter was brought to the attention of the above men-
tioned journal by a former resident of the State and
subsequently to the Chattanooga Chapter of the Agassiz
Association which, after careful investigation, recom-
mended the adoption of Passiflora incarnata, the wild
Passion Flower or Maypop.

The recommendation was put in the form of a resolu-
ti^on, which was presented to the convention of the
Tennessee State Horticultural Society, at Nashville, Jan.
^5, Wl\, which body promptly and unanimously adopted
the resolution and expressed itself in favor of the plant
selected. Subsequently, bills authorizing the application
ot the name State flower to this species were introduced
in both branches of the Legislature, which it is believed
will act upon them favorably at the first opportunity

In addition to the fact that this flower is one of the
most beautiful of the 50 or more species of Passiflora
and also one of the most effective of the wild flowers'
native to Tennessee, there are in its favor the interestin<'
legends associated with it, and the fact that no othe'r
commonwealth has previously chosen it. And now aside
from the satisfaction that may be derived from the knowl-
edge that their State is no longer officially flowerless
Tennessee horticulturists may logically undertake a cam-
paign for a wider familiarity for the plant, and in con-
nection therewith, a further beautification of home gar-
dens throughout the commonwealth.

"Every Tennessean should have his State flower in his
garden"— or draping his dooryard or arbor— is a good
ideal to aim at, and a good slogan to rally around. The
plant IS beautiful and worthy ; let the people of Tennessee
prove worthy of it.

Own Your Own Home Exposition

Today, April 16, the above exposition opens at the
22d Regimental Armory, New York City, and those
who are catering to landscape work may find it well
worth a visit. The model houses on view, are being
set off by plantings planned by landscape gardeners and,
if preliminary announcements count, the entire exhibi-
tion will derive much of its attractiveness through the
planting of trees and ornamental stock, including Roses,
Azaleas, Rhododendrons, etc.

Not Affected by Extreme Heat or Cold

Our product is a cement-like composition of Asbestos Fibres, and heavy, semi-drying hydro-carbon oils. Its
exceptionally long life is due to the fact that it never thoroughly hardens like old-fashioned white putty. The out-
side surface (which is exposed to the oxygen of the air) forms a resihent tough skin, below which the material
remains soft and plastic. Because of this we guarantee that the coldest weather will not cause it to become brittle
or pull away. On the other hand our product is warranted not to sag or run in extremely hot weather due to its
being interlaced with the Asbestos Fibres.

As Ajax Black Glazing Cement never thoroughly hardens, glass glazed with it can be shifted when desired
without the loss of breakage that so often results when hard drying white putties are used.

Lower Cost Than White Putty

Compared with the old-fashioned White Lead putties, Ajax Black Glazing Cement not only lasts years longer,

IT Lets The Florist Sleep

\V. D. Snkll, Florist, llcik-
imer, N. Y., is a hard man to
keep down. His activity ex-
erted itself about twenty years
ago in Newville, Herkimer
County, New York, where he
started in the Florist business
in a small way.

He now owns or has an inter-
est in four Florist Estabhsh-
ments, located in Ilion, Mo-
hawk, Herkimer, and Little
Falls. He says much of his
prosperity is due to his first
selecting Gibhn boilers for his
greenhouses and this prosper-
ity has continued so vigorous-
ly that he has used six of them
within the past twenty years.

Here is the letter he writes:

Little Falls, N. Y., April 2, 1921.
GiiiLiiN & Co., Utica, N. Y,

Gentlemen: Within twenty-one (21) years past, I have
bought si,\ boilers from you, and have bought boilers from
no one else.

;My purchases were as follows:

Newville, N. Y., Dec. 1900, 1 No. 70 Steam Boiler for

( liccnili'iises.

Jlohawk, N. Y., Dec. 1906, 1 No. 407 Boiler for Greenhouses.

Herkimer, N. Y., Dec. 11, 1911, 1 No. 407 Steam Boiler
for Greenhouses.

Herkimer, N. Y., Jan. 1916, 1 No. 70 Steam Boiler for
Residence.

Ilion. N. Y., Sept. 1916, 1 No. 406 Steam Boiler tor Green-
houses.

Little Falls, N. Y., .Jan. 1921, 1 No. 407 Steam Boiler for
Greenhouses.

I bought the first boiler because I was anxious to see if
it was all you claimed for it. I found it was, and I have
bought the other boilers because I felt I could buy no other
boilers that would give as much for the money invested.

I have found your boilers economical in fuel, in some in-
stances doing the work for one-half it cost with other boilers.

I have maintained an even temperature for nineteen hours
without attention.

If florists would disregard the first cost, which is ONCE
ONLY, and pay more attention to the maintenance cost, they
would get more profit out of their business.

I have paid a higher price for your boilers than I was
offered for other boilers, but I thought the price I paid you
none too high for what I got in return. Yours truly,

W. D. SNELL.

St. Louis, Mo.

The market the past week has been
crowded with all kinds of flowers. Car-
nations were especially plentiful; light
colors have been a drug on the market.
In leftoTers and split sales on a cleanup
were So per 1000. Ifow that the growers
have organized they should in some wxiy
or other find out the best way to keep
the market normal with a crowded sup-
ply.

Roses are moving fairly well; of course,
at reduced prices. Snapdragon is selling
at 75c. and $1 per bunch of one dozen.
The weather today (Saturday, April 9)
is cold with prospects of freezing.

Notes

The next meeting of the St. Louis
Florists Club will take place at the
greenhouses at Forest Park, Thursday,
April 14. The feature of the meeting will
be moving pictures of the recent flower
show in Xew York and a very interesting
lecture by Fred Ammann on Advertising
Methods in Different Cities.

On April 4 the employees at H. G.
Berning's were surprised to find the large
cold storage plant recently installed had
become out of order and had descended
to below freezing point, doing consider-
able damage to the stock of flowers. The
large boxes were emptied quickly and
flowers removed, but they were badly
damaged and sales were made to the best
advantage and to avert a total loss.

SYRACUSE, N. Y.

George H. Angermueller is disposing
of some real good Eoses and Carnations
at best possible prices. Supply business
is fairly good.

From all reports, Easter business was
good. JMany more plants could have been
sold.

The funeral of four dead soldiers from
France was the occasion for a large distri-
bution of flowers, while the bodies laid in
state at City Hall prior to the burial on
Saturday, April 9.

The St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower
Co. is receiving large quantities of all
kinds of flowers from local growers.

C. Young & Sons are doing a large out-
of-town ti-ade. Their mail order business
increases daily. '

The bargain coimters during the past
week quoted two dozen white and pint
Carnations for 25c. This certainly adver-
tised flowers at the expense of the grower i
and, of course, with his sanction. j

C. A. Kuehn had a large supply of flow- i
ers which to unload had to be sold in
many cases under cost of production. This
however, was the case with other houses
as well.

The next event on the list is the ap-
proach of Mother's Day. This will prove
a good day if prices remain reasonable.

St. PanI, Minn.

Echoes ol Easter Business

If any anxiety was felt regarding
the Easter business the same was quickly
dispelled on the preceding days and it is

4

safe to say that the holiday business wi
far above espectacions. There wM V
large quantity of local grown stock rea*^
and well finished; and there was also (
good supply of cut flowers of which all tb
growers were cleaned out by Frida|
Easter Lilies appeared at one time a
if they would be a drug on the m&rkel
but they were all disposed of, in facl
there were not enough to go around. Th
Lilies were of extra good quality Mi
sold at 20c. and 22c. Of all the Tvii'
Cities stock, the ileriam Park Floral Cc
had the best assorted plants, suitable fo
either home or church decoration. ^ I
was noticeable that the higher pricC"
plants were not in such demand aa wer
those of moderate price. The amount o
business transacted was due to the velum |
and not to the price. J. Christensen ha-
a flne lot of Baby Kamblers and Lilies
his Eose cut was not heavy but Columtiii
was in good condition. Holm &, Olson ha'
an exceptionally hea-\T week, especiall
with respect to out of town orders.

The deliveries on Easter Sunday mora^
ing were handicapped by a zero temper*
ture; the previous days had been quit I
warm, but a heavy storm on Saturda;^
evening caused a great drop in tempew
ture. Chas. Fulhbregge, formerly wit
Holm & Olson, has resigned ana leaaei
the store operated by L. L. May. Pap^
of incorporation are being filed ^%^
firm is to be kno^-n as Fuhlbregges FIB*
ers XnCi

Inquiries for garden and •a"^**',
work are coming in fast and proswni
for Spring look favorable. E. O. L |

The Market

April 12. — The wholesale cut flower
market feels the relief this week of some-
what lighter arrivals of both staple and
miscellaneous flowers. Although there is
no increase in the demand, prices on ac-
count of the smaller supply are a little
firmer.

Am. Beauty Roses are meeting with a
medium demand at 20c. to 50c. each for
special grade blooms, with occasional sales
of choice selections at somewhat higher
figures. Other grades are bringing cor-
responding prices. The somewhat smaller
supply of other Roses is meeting with a
quite moderate demand; special grade
blooms are selling at 5c. each for the old-
time pink and white Killarney, up to 15c.
in general, but Hadley and Crusader are
realizing 25c., Key 40c., and a few Pre-
miers and Russells 20c. No. 2 grade
blooms are bringing $1.50 to $4 per 100.

The supply of Carnations is normal for
the season and is moving out slowly at
last week's prices, namely $3 to $4 per
100 for select blooms and $1.50 to $2 for
ordinaries.

The supply of Cattleyas is a little larger
and the demand remains about the same
as that of last week. The variety
Schrcederee is bringing 35c. to 50c. each,
and Trianae and Mossis 75c. to $1 each,
although some of the small flowers of these
two of inferior quality are selling at the
price of Schrcederas.

The over supply of Gardenias, on ac-
count of the limited demand, has reached
the lowest price level for the season, i
namely, 35c. to $2 per doz. Lily of the
Valley is in short supply, and medium to
top grade is selling at $5 to §10 per 100.
The abundant supply of Longiflorum
Lilies is moving out slowly at S8 to $12
per 100.

The arrivals of bulbous flowers are now
confined to a few kinds, namely, Callas
moving sluggishly at $1 to $2 per doz..
Daffodils at 35c. to 60c. per bunch, and
Darwin Tulips, the best of which are rea-
lizing from 75c. to $1 per bunch.

In miscellaneous flowers, the two lead-
ers are Antirrhinum and Sweet Peas, the
supply of each is more than adequate to
meet requirements. The former is bring-
ing 25c. to 75c. and occasionally $1 per
bunch, and the latter 50c. to $2 per 100.
Next in importance in this class are the
yellow Daisies, which vary all the way
from those of extremely poor quality up to
some of the finest blooms which ever
came into the market at this season; the
range in price is also wide, being from
25c. to $4 per 100. Other miscellaneous
flowers are Calendula, outdoor Lilac,
Mignonette, Myosotis, Pansies and double
and smgle Violets, all meeting with a
limited demand at quoted prices.

As regards greens of all kinds, the sup-
ply IS adequate to meet the present de-
mand, which is in sympathy with the gen-
eral condition of the flower market.
A Florist Disappears

Vaseleos Denezos, who has been doiLg
a retail florist business imder the name
of "Victoria Florist," at 66 Springfield
ave. and 34 Park pi., Newark, N. J., dis-
appeared on April 2, giving out word that
he was gomg to St. Louis, but he has not
been seen or heard from since that time.
Previous to his departure he drew all or
nearly all of his money out of the banks.
He left as assets his store equipment and
a Ford car, the estimated value of which
IS about $1000. His liabilities to whole-
sale florists in New York City and to
growers in the vicinity of Newark are re-
ported to be upwards of $20,000. A sheriff
has been put in charge of the stores, and
some of his creditors will institute bank-
ruptcy proceedings against him. Denezos
bought heavily, it is reported, of the

I

wholesale florists and plant growers
aroimd Easter time, and succeeded in get-
ting credit within less than a month for
the entire amoimt of his liabilities. This
is the first case of this kind which has oc-
curred for several years past.

We saw, on Tuesday morning of this
week, at Roman J. Irwin's, two varieties
of Carnation blooms which had just ar-
rived from the Joy Floral Co., Nashville,
Tenn., intended for exhibition at the Flo-
rists Club meeting on Monday night,
April 11, but, unfortunately, received too
late. One variety was a new white Car-
nation of medium size but well built, the
name of which is Thomas C. Joy. The
second was a new pink unnamed seedling,
the color, build and size of which im-
pressed us most favorably. Although
these blooms had been three days on their
way, they arrived in excellent condition.

We note that the model gardens are
now being prepared and planted in Union
Square and in several other squares and
parks of this city. These gardens, we have
observed in the past, are daily visited by
many, and consequently must be of value
as educators in horticultural matters.

We observed recently at the Henahaw
Floral Co. some wonderfully fine blooms of
that beautiful pink Carnation Laddie;
also Cattleyas of excellent quality of that
seasonable and exquisite variety Mossiffi.

The H. M. Robinson Co. appears to be
headquarters for yellow Daisies. The ar-
rivals at this company's store are large,
and the quality of the blooms is extra-
ordinary. We noticed at this same store
yellow Snapdragons of excellent quality.
Pink Snapdragons are seen in nearly all
the stores and not a few whites, but those
in the yellow shades are comparatively
rare.

R. Vincent, Jr., was in the city this
week conferring with E. C. Vick on Ameri-
can Dahlia Society matters.

Meeting of New York Wholesale
Florists

On Friday, April 8, a meeting of New
York wholesale florists was held at the
oflice of John Young, to consider ways and
means for collecting funds from the retail
florists for the advertising campaign of
the Allied Florists Trade Ass'n of New
York.

At previous meetings and conferences
with retail florists, many retailers had
expressed their willingness to contribute
on a percentage basis, such as the Mil-
waukee plan. This did not meet with the
approval of the wholesalers who requested
the retailers to formulate a plan of their
own. Failing in this, and realizing the
benefits already derived from advertising
undertaken and the necessity for increased
funds, the wholesalers at this meeting de-
cided by a majority vote to assume the
duties of the percentage plan. Beginning
therefore on May 1, one-half of one per
cent will be added to the statements of all
retailers; this percentage to be forwarded
by the wholesaler to the treasurer of the
Allied Florists Trade Ass'n. A letter ex-
plaining this plan will be sent to all retail
fiorists of Greater New York and vicinity.
The committee feels confident that this
will meet with general approval and that
it will be possible to carry on a campaign
of very successful advertising.

The collecting of the percentage from
the cash purchaser will not be so simple a
matter as in bhe case of a monthly ac-
count, and it will be up to the irdividual
wholesaler to work out this problem in his
own way. The experience of the Western
cities, where successful advertising cam-
paigns have been in operation for several
years, has shown that the percentage plan
is the only fair way to collect funds. In
the case of growers, wholesalers, seedsmen,
supply houses and greenhouse builders in
New York, an assessment has been agreed
upon, and the amount for six montb^ has

been paid in. This, however, means a
voluntary subscription, and many individu-
als and firms in the aforementioned
branches of the trade are still delinquents.
It is hoped that the undertaking of the
percentage plan with the retailers will
bring these delinquents into line, as there
has been a feeling with many that the
burden should be borne by all classes; the
fact that the retailers were not contribut-
ing has kept growers and other from com-
ing m.

The district leaders of the New York
Growers Ass'n will be encouraged by this
news, and it is hoped they will get busy
and bring in those growers who so far
have hesitated in joining the movement.
The fact that advertising pays the flo-
rist m every branch of the trade has been
well proved. Cooperation, however, is
%'itally necessary, and it is up to everyone
of us to use our best efforts not only by
contributing, but also by boosting the ad-
vertising scheme and our wonderful busi-
ness in every way possible.

Easter Business — and Afterward

.... '^^^ Peoples Florists handled 8000
Lihes at their two stores at Easter. The
West store is doing a good trade in seeds.
Since Easter there has been a good de-
mand for funeral work.

Simmons & Son have been showing some
fine Sweet Peas from their greenhouses at
Brampton. They have just received a
large shipment of new vases which add
greatly to the window displays.

J. A. Neal reports a good supply of
stock and a big demand for design work.

J. J. Higgins states that since Easter
business in cut flowers has slowed up
a little. The warm weather is probably
responsible. There has been a big de-
mand for design work, however.

H. G. Dillemuth is on a trip to De-
troit.

G. M. Geraghty is on a trip to Detroit
and Chicago.

F. K. Prouse has been doing a big
business in annuals and perennials. The
wholesale business has been excellent
since Easter.

Mrs. Percy Waters had her big window
filled with Roses and Carnations on Sat-
urday. Business was fine. She sold a
great many boxes of Pansies for Spring
planting.

Mr. Hall of Hall & Robinson and the
foreman, G. Choquette, Montreal, at-
tended the New York flower show. They
are now busy with their bedding stock
having an order for 80,000 Pansies.

The Montreal Floral Exchange has been
shipping Anemones, Myosotis, etc., to New
York daily.

J. Denson, Kensington Gardens, Mon-
treal, who specializes in ferns, has some
fine specimens on hand.

The Misses F. and M. Linecar have
been busy at both stores. On Saturday
they had a sale of Roses and Sweet Peas,
disposing of a large quantity. Large
quantities of plants have also been sold.

W. J. Doughty has taken J. Randall on
his staff. He is building up a good busi-

Editor The Florists' ExcJiange:

On Page 844 of your issue of April 9
under "Toronto" there is a paragrapb
under the caption, "Are Florists Manu-
facturers?" which is so incorrect that I
am asking you to make this correction.
The protest that has been made in con-
nection with the Sales Tax has nothing
whatever to do with the florists* industry,'
but is being made by the tinsmiths of thifl'
country and, pending a decision, florists
are not being asked to take out licenaeai
or to collect taxes.

This condition is made possible by tie
hard work of the Tariff Committee of the
Canadian Florists and Gardeners Asso-
ciation and is not due in any way to the
action of individual fiorists in any city
of the Dominion. Major Connon, who is
chairman of this committee, has for weeks
been working in the effort to get some
definite decision on the matter _ with the
result that a telegram was received from
the Department a few days ago giving the
ruling mentioned above.

We wish to point out that the florists
are ready to assume their share of the
financial burden of the country and the
negotiations with the Department were
entered into with the idea of securing
a simple method of collection rather than
sidestepping the matter.

Your Toronto correspondent would ao
well to make sure of his facts before puU-
lishing important matters of this kind
as they affect a much wider area than
the Citv of Toronto. W. E. GboteS,

The Coal Question

A bill very similar to the Calder
coal control bill of the last session of
Congress has been introduced in the House
of Representatives by Congressman Wal-
ter H. Newton of Minnesota. This is de-
signed "to promote the general welfare
by gathering information respecting the
ownership, production, distribution, costs,
sales and profits in the coal industry and
by publication of the same, and to recog-
nize and declare coal and its production
and distribution charged with public in-
terest and use." E. A. D.

The Market

April 12. — Old timers on the whole-
sale market say that the week just past
was the most remarkable one iu history.
There have been periods during the Sum-
mer months when stock accumulated in
quantities far beyond the ability of the
aeaiers to hnd an outlet for, but never at
tlus early season, with snow in the atmos-
phere, was tliere ever such an oversupply
and Slump in prices.
j There was not an item of stock in all
' the wide range offered that approached
! anything like a scarcity. There was an
I abundance of everything, and all price
I records were shattered; buyers couid make
I their own prices on any desired stock. It
I was a week of disappointment to the grow-
I ers and wholesalers; their loss must be
considerable. To the bargain hunters in
flowers it was a gala week. They were
sold everywhere, in department and drug
stores, on the street corners, railway sta-
tions, and peddled in all public places by
hundreds of street vendors, who bought
by the armful for little money. Flowers
were so conspicuous everywhere, and the
infrequent buyers so fully satisfied, it is
to be hoped that out of the great holocaust
will come a reinforcement of permanent
buyers that will in some way amend for
the loss just sustained.

The cause of the untoward conditions of
the week is easily assigned. Two weeks of
bright sunshine brought the Kose and Car-
nation crops to the peak of ISpring pro-
duction. This coming immediately after
a notable holiday when flower buying
dropped to a minimum precipitated the
conditions as set forth.

Conditions were more hopeful on the
opening market Monday. A severe frost
and snow on Sunday, followed by much
colder weather, will lessen the production
for the coming week, and it is believed
the great oversupply has past and busi-
ness will assume a normal attitude before
the close of the present week.

The Kose crops were never finer, wea-
ther conditions being ideal. It was un-
fortunate that these should come in such
perfection at a time of so little demand.
-Lhe same applied to Carnations; the
quality was excellent, but when one sees
handsome bunches peddled on the streets
at one cent a bloom his sympathy must go
out to the grower, who was probably get-
ting less than one-half of this for his fine
products.

Bulbous stock had passed the high pro-
duction mark of the season when the
slump came, but what there was suffered,
as ail sacrifice sales turned to Koses and
Carnations. Southern Jonquils have
ceased to come, and the Freesia crops are
almost a thing of the past for the time
being. With the bulbous stock out of the
way. Carnation and Rose growers hope for
better conditions.

The supply of Sweet Peas may also said
to be passing so far as the greenhouse
crops are concerned. Valley is in good
supply, and Cattleyas are sold so low that
retailers are offering them at $1 each, less
than one-half of the wholesale price of
some few weeks ago. There are plenty
of Easter Lilies and more Callas than
there is any demand for. Larkspur, Lu-
pins, Myosotis, Pansies and Calendulas are
offered everywhere. Outdoor grown Lilac
is coming from points South of here. Cold
storage ferns are getting scarce.

Mother's Day is having the attention of
the dealers. It is believed there will be
an increased demand and not any great
supply of stock, as the period of liigh
production has passed. It is the general
impression that everything will sell at rea-
sonable prices. j

General News I

Chicago and suburbs was visited
by a most disastrous frost Sunday morn-
ing. It came most -unexpectedly, for the
two weeks just befoie were so mild and
Spring-like people were going without
their overcoats, and vegetation had an
early start. ]

The reports from all sections of the
State are so conflicting that no particular
estimate of the damage done to fruit and
vegetable crops has been arrived at. J. A.
Young, of Aurora, is of the opinion that
all early blooming stone fruits have been
ruined. The Cherry and Plum trees were
in full bloom and the Tulip beds in the
city parks were beginning to show color.
Fear is entertained that the Peony crops
may be injured farther South where they

were sufficiently advanced; the killing
frost extended as far South as Tennessee
and Kentucky.

In a small city square, within observa-
tion of the writer, there was a handsome
group of Forsythias in full bloom Satur-
day that, on Sunday, looked limp and
colorless, and have since turned black.
Judging from this, a large amount of dam-
age must have been done throughout the
country.

Grov. Small has named Friday, April 16,
as Arbor Day in Illinois. It wiU be ob-
served in all the schools, where appropri-
ate exercises will be held, and the attempt
will be made generally to keep alive and
growing the interest in the Eesthetic and
practical value of tree and bird conserva-
tion.

The Chicago Wholesale Cut Flower
Dealers Association will hold a meeting
Thursday, April 14, at the Randolph Ho-
tel. The meeting is called for 12 o*clock
noon, when luncheon will be served.

E. H. Meuret, Park Ridge, is again
back in the city, after spending a few
months with his family in California.

The J. A. Budlong Co. is receiving regu-
lar shipments of Southern outdoor grown
Gladioli, which are something of a novelty
on the market this early in the season.

The planting of the new crop of Roses
in the greenhouses of some of the large
growers is well imder way. Wietor Bros,
have benched 25,000 Coliunbia in one sec-
tion the past week.

G. S. Clausen, the well known Gladiolus
grower, has returned from a trip to Cali-
fornia, where he made many interesting
observations of the flower growing con-
ditions in that section.

Ella Grant Wilson had a timely arti-
cle on "The Mission of Flowers" in the
magazine section of the Chicago Evening
American on Saturday. These articles ap-
pear weekly and are quite a feature of
the magazine. The Allied Florists Asso-
ciation had, as well, an advertisement
telling of the great abundance of flowers
which made almost one complete page.
This is good work at a time when it is
greatly needed.

A few of the large department stores
held special sales of Roses and Carnations
on Saturday. These were prominently
advertised in all the papers. One house
headed their advertisement with "Choice
Roses, 75,000, all colors, long stems, won-
derful stock, at 15c. per doz. Carnations,
5000 bunches, 25 in bunch, all colors, sold
by the bxmch only at Ic. each." It was
a wonderful sale; people stood in line for
hours at the various stores waiting to be
served. It is estimated that ten thousand
people bought flowers at these sales,
people who rarely go into a flower shop.
Geo. Asmus brought out a good point
at the meeting of the Allied Florists As-
sociation Thursday night, regarding the
price charged florists for space in flower
shows or other exhibitions where the flo-
rists exhibit their stock. It was pointed
out that when the exhibition is over the
stock on exhibition comes out in a prac-
tically worthless condition. In other lines
of merchandise goods on exhibition suffer
no deterioration in quality, on the con-
trary in the case where awards are made,
their value is enhanced. For this reason,
therefore, the section secured by the Al-
lied Florist at the Pageant of Progress ex-
hibition has been secured at a consider-
ably less price than similar sections are
sold to other lines of industry.

Prof. Dorner of the University of Illi-
nois said at the club meeting Thursday
night, that we must show progress and
combat the idea that a successful flower
show cannot be held during the Summer
months. It is true we don't have the flne
Premier Roses like Joe Hill exhibited in
New York, or Chrysanthemuans as seen
at the Fall exhibitions, but we have a
wonderful Summer flower in the Gladiolus
and the public should be made better ac-
quainted with its excellent keeping quali-
ties, and the large nimiber of praise-
worthy varieties grown by those who
make a specialty of them. Arrangements
are being made to present at the May

Trade Notes

April 7. — The flower business
very active; the expected letup af
Easter did not materialize. Flowers i
all kinds are plentiful, and consequen
put to good use. Fimeral work of
kinds heads the list and all hands 8
busy with this end of the game. Tal
flowers and corsages are also coming
for their share of attention. Potted pki
with the passing of the bulbous stock,
not offer a great choice, but the infiniij
variety in cut stock makes them irreais
ble. Darwin Tulips especially, are to .
had in tip top quality and a great ran '
of color. They are selling very weU. T
out of town demand for Caruationa e
tirely relieves a surplus that might eiL '
Roses are, as usual, the best in the worl (
(Portland quality) and prices to fit eve
one's pocketbook. Sweet Peas are gw .
and clean up daily. The Violet has (
last disappeared; we can get along wit
out it very nicely.

Among the larger flowers there a?
quantities of Easter Lilies and CalLj
which are being put to good purpose.

News Notes

Clifford Wagenet of the Oaklai
Flower Shop is in the city in the inte
est of his firm's basket line. It is a P.
cific Coast made product made of r«
from China; the quality and finish
equal to the eastern product if not bette
Its lightness and strength make it desi
able when freight rates have to be coi
sidered.

Signs are beginning to appear, Garni

tiona at a dollar a dozen, specials, et<

which is, no doubt, a forerunner of whs

is in store for us in case of a glut. Pla;

ing up inferior quality at a lower pric

is an old game of the socalled merchandii |

ing florists and, from a fair standpoint t

selling flowers only, it is very correct. 1

( will come to pass that all growers vri

, have to grade their stock and the poore

! stock will have to find its way into desig

I work or be otherwise utilized. It is do

[ uncorrunon to find six out of every bunc

i of Carnations unfit for sending out, eve

when first class prices are paid.
I Wallace Garside at Clarke's lost his bes
friend, his mother, last week. The trad
I offers its condolence.

Clarke's spent a very busy week beini
handicapped with shortage of help
Funeral work created a considerable par
of the rush.

All hands are busy at the Swiss Flora
Co. making a rush job to get all the ac
layed planting into shape. This finn n
progressive and with the new addition o
a show ground it makes an attractive ap
peal to the flower buyers.

The recent frosts have caused the earlj
planters to crawl back into their shells
but the first warm night will see them ou'
wanting to plant out Heliotrope. H. ^

"JAY EM" Says:

The "Pageant of ProgresB" is assured. The
florists have taken one entire section. Mayor Wni.
Hale Thompson in addressing the C. F. Club,
Thursday night last, said he was going to "Say it
with Flowers." He wanted the florists to have the
opening section in the exhibition so that on enter-
ing they could "knock 'em dead" as no other
industry but the florists could. At flower shows
only flower lovers attend, but in the exhibition
such as is proposed on the Municipal Pier thou-
sands of others will see the exhibit daily and it will
bring more fame and notoriety to the trade.

Some of the big things done recently in Chicago:
During a recent epidemic scare the city health
department vaccinated 500,000 people in 30 days.
Marshall Field & Co. paid 5100,000 for the publica-
tion of a book to advertise the innumerable at-
tractions of Chicago for Summer visitors.

The Pageant of Progress exposition is proposed
to be an annual affair and will do more to advertise
the commercial and industrial life of Chicago than
did the World's Fair of 1893.

As a compliment to Mayor Thompson, who is the
prirae mover in the exhibition, it was unanimously
voted that the Allied Florists' Association take a
section in the exhibition at a rental for the occasion
of S27,000. The big show is assured. There will
be three and one half miles of exhibition booths;
these are not going to be like looking into show
windows where finished goods are on display, but
in them the manufacture of the industries repre-
sented will be shown. From carpet weaving to
bouquet making will be demonstrated daily.

Come to Chicago; you are hereby invited.

Remember the dates: July 30 to August 14.

in the papers, telling the public of a mo-
mentary reduction in flower prices, would
bring many a new customer. Bananas,
Oranges, Strawberries, fish. Lettuce, eggs
and dozens of other things go up and
down in price; in fact, are always fluc-
tuating; why not flowers? Flowers be-
long in the same class, being, as they are,
a product of the seasons. The above is not
a slam at the retailer, he has always
shown that he is able to take care of him-
self, but why does not the grower who, in
the end, always is the goat, take a hand
in trying to save his own skin? When flow-
ers are plentiful, as they are now, the great
public should be given its chance to buy
at the lowest reasonable price and it will
buy.

American Beauty Eoses have had a
hard time in the market. The demand
for this variety is very restricted and
now, with a rather larger supply than
usual, it is hard to get 50c. for specials.
Columbia is still the favorite for general
trade, with Ophelia coming next. Pre-
mier and Pilgrim follow close together
with Kussell. All of the latter varieties
are selling about even at from 6c. to 25e.
or around one cent an inch. Of grades
over 24in. the sales are few, in fact, there
are not many of the longer grades coming
in. Hadley is in a class by itself; it is
the Rose that is always wanted for red
and will always sell at an advanced price.
The little Sweetheart Roses have been in
good demand and have gone up in price
somewhat.

Carnations are going to the "darnation
bow-wows," as far as price is concerned.
It takes something like a gold medal Car-
nation to bring 6c; 4c. and 5c. will buy

April 1*2. — The cloudy, rainy and
cool spells during the whole of last week
tended to keep the output from the green-
houses down to a certain limit; otherwise
the market would have experienced one of
its periodical slumps. As it was, the
salesmen did not have to complain of too
much work, neither could they go to
sleep. There was a little doing most of
the time, but much of the stock had to
be sold at ridiculous prices when it be-
gan to get the least bit stale. In a gen-
eral way, prices have taken a downward
course and are today considerably below
last week's report. A close canvass of
the better retail stores gave the impres-
sion that they have done a very good
business, but even so, all their demands
did not make much of an impression
on the oversupplied market. Some day,
within the next million years, some gen-
ius or smart Alec may hatch out a scheme
whereby the public at large can or will be
informed of the times when flowers go
begging for buyers and when the said pub-
lic will be given a chance to profit by the
existence of an overstocked market. One
thing is sure, the retailers will never lift
a finger to bring this about. It may be
taken for granted that the retailers know
their own business, but all the same, it
may reasonably be supposed that a sign
stuck in the window or an advertisement

about the best the market has to offer
and 2c. to 3c. the ordinary. At that, the
flowers are as good as ever, but, oh my!
there are too many of them. Lilies, too,
and Callas, are in hard luck, the latter
having slid down to 75c. to $1.50 per doz.,
while the former cling to 8c. to 16c.

Daisies, yellow and white, Pansies, Mig-
nonette, Myosotis and ail the rest of the
minor flowers are in the "catch-as-catch-
can" class and often in the "ash can" di-
vision.

Sweet Peas are suffering from an over-
dose of Trailing Arbutus or Mayflower.
For street wear the little flower of the
woods is now the favorite. Luckily, its
race will be run in a week or so. Some
really fine Sweet Peas are offered and
they make up to $3 a 100; poor stuff is
nix. In orchids there is little variety;
Schroederae and Mossise have had a good
run; so also has Lily of the Valley. Yel-
low bulb stock has held up well in price;
the supply is beginning to shorten, and
the price has not changed since a week
ago. Tulips have never appeared in very
large quantity and are still selling at
from 6c. to 8c.

There is, as always, a sufficient supply
of all sorts of greens at the old prices.

News Notes

Wm. H. Judd, while attemding the
show on April 7, was unexpectedly called
to the telephone during the evening to
receive the news that burglars had broken
into his house. They had also entered the
fiat above his and made a good haul from
both places.

Penn's had a number of decorations of
booths, etc., at the recent National Busi-
ness Show in Mechanics Hall.

Business at the store has been good
right along. The boys there have their
various tin Lizzies burnished up. Joe
White was spared the trouble of var-
nishing his because he went and bought
himself a brand new Ford sedan last
week and is trying to find out how soon
he can wear out the roads around town.
Duncan Robinson and Miss Sadie Fried-
man have been on the sick list for some
little time, but have returned to their
posts by now.

B. J. Letson of "CarboneV* will ad-
dress the Gardeners and Florists Club at
the next (postponed) meeting in Horti-
cultural Hall, April 26. He will speak
on "Floral Arrangements."

Mrs. Roy Sawyer of Clinton dropped
dead of heart failure on Saturday, April
2. She was 35 years of age and leaves,

The Market

The situation in the cut flower mar-
ket brings forth no improvement over
our previous report, as the supply con-
tinues far in excess of the demand. Sat-
urday, April 9, "waa the best day of the
week, with a clearing market at buyers'
prices. There is a splendid supply of all
Roses, with Am. Beauty at 50c. top price,
and Russell from 20g. down — mostly down.
The Rose buyer is getting some wonder-
ful values for his money these days. Car-
nations are sluggish in face of the present
supply, and it has to be a mighty good
Carnation to bring any respectable figure.
There are plenty of Callas, but few good
ones, Easter Lilies are sufficient for all
requirements. Cattleyas are quiet with
a small supply. There is an immense sup-
ply of Sweet Peas. Outdoor Valley has
arrived. There is plenty of all greens.

HENRY PENN'S MESSAGE
Everybody Sells Something or Loafs

Mystery or Mastery

Have you ever stopped to think that there ia no MYSTERY in
SiMJcess. It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It is based on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that underlie business activity and human life! It
comes from MASTERY of these laws, and their application to one's
work! To know these laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligently is sure to bring success whatever one's undertaking.
MASTERY is the key-word, not MYSTERY! The change of one let-
ter makes all the difference in the world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Business conditions are
rapidJy changing. Just a short time ago there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more goods
than buyers. Instead of a seller's market, we have a buyer's market.
All business, or in other words, all himian activity, in its last analysis
is dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill: the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant his merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice? Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your sales-
manship.
This message lo taken from the Sheldon Science of Business of which

A^hat Side Lines for tlie Retail Florist?

I the Grand Central Terminal, New York City,
;liere is a florist's shop that is operating a success-
I'ul soda fountain.

. Seattle, Wash., there is a florist who has made a
mess of the stationery business; has made one line
It the other and vice versa.

11 St. Louis, Mo., a florist in the West End sells more
;»ly of the box goods variety than any druggist in
)i district. What goes best with flowers? Much de-
jtls upon the florist, his location, his method of doing
n^ness and his shop. Too many flower shops are
:tvdcd in some seasons and have room to spare in
)irs. But by careful selection of a side line, giving
:t';ideration to every factor, it has been found both
jiVitable and advisable to expand in this direction, not
)i: as a means of extra revenue but also as a feeder
i( the florist trade.

r? Side Line a Feeder

; is as a "feeder" that the florist must
:(sider a side line primarily. For there
is his difference in his business when com-
fitd to that of the butcher and the grocer;
pvple come to him to buy one thing — flow-
Si'; scores go into a drug store for stamps,
[i soda, for stationery and once there buy
iiiething they never had in mind when
tly entered the door. In other words, the
11 ist finds only flower customers entering

II doors and he has nothing to "feed" into
h business or draw trade from the unin-
tttional buyer.

'he spirit of the side line in the retail
b iness as it is conducted today, is to asso-
c ;e lines of goods according to how they
v} "feed" the main line rather than for
til mere fitness or suitability of associa-
tii. For instance, nobody would expect
a.'oman to buy a wash boiler on her way
t(the opera or a bouquet of orchids when
s' is doing her neighborhood, morning
s. pping. There is much in catching the
ber in the right mood at the right time
a' the florist, whose business is largely
d'ling in luxuries, must bear this very
n:h in mind.

Vhat side lines, then, can the florist con-
Sj;r?

[t is certain that he can consider articles
f which the unit of sale is large, since
p pie who buy flowers can afford to buy
q lity goods in any line.

\ at Some Florists Handle

. Denver florist has found a line of fine
pital cards a source of profit and a
" eder" to his regular trade, in the center

0 the city. He so arranges the display

II I it does not dominate his shop and he
h a neat assortment in a corner of the
V idow, including a choice selection of im-
p ted flower subjects, in colors, which are
s^erly bought by customers.

\i Brooklyn photographer utilized first
fl)r space under his gallery for the sale of
c flowers and now his flower business
rjals his photographic business, with the
rult that one feeds the other. He not
Jy sells flowers to those who wish to carry them in
P ing but he has secured many an order for pictures
f m the people who buy their flowers from him.

Jits. Her manicure helper is also able to double up

Any retail merchant selling a luxury is confronted
»h the problem of aggressively going after business.
f". is called upon to make his goods as alluring as pos-
ii e because he has created a desire whereas the dealer
I; staples knows that necessity will bring a certain
1 3unt of business to him, providing he can produce an
I cle that is as good as his competitor and his prices
i fair.

^re in Selection Needed

')n the other hand, the florist cannot afford to asso-
:.:e with his flower business any incongruous combina-
:i,i that would depreciate the estimation in which his
). iness is held by the public. In this way the florist
lids a peculiar position in the mind of the public which

By LYNE S. METCALFE

The retail florist, be his trade tran-
sient or residential, may well consider
the subject of side lines. Flower
vases, bowls and baskets are natural
corollaries to the flower business, but
careful consideration from one's own
business standpoint will convince
many florists that they are legitimately
entitled to carry other side lines.

By Harry C. Huesman, Reading, Pa.

More than one florist works with a nearby druggist or
confectioner in this way, selling on a percentage basis
and maintaining one counter for candy in his shop. It
is especially around the holiday season that this busi-
ness is prosperous and it not infrequently happens that
the florist outsells the druggist in the finer goods.

Soda Fountain Helps Trade

The Grand Central Terminal flower shop soda foun-
tain is owned by John S. Nichols. Let him tell his
story of how he has managed the combination success-
fully: "For several years, our flower business has been
an assured quantity. We saw the need for a fountain
in our concession from the start. But we hesitated to
install a fountain until we were almost forced to do so.
We also, later, added a small stock of fine fruit. Soda
water and flowers make an ideal combination.
Each helps and creates sales for the other.
This was an idea only until we tried it out,
but now we know that it is a fact. Our
fountain is of the white marble variety and
is 40ft. in length. Our Winter season is our
best in both lines. Our floral department
gives our fountain business an added attrac-
tion. We keep flowers in profusion in the
place which makes it pleasant and agreeable
m atmosphere. Both lines have shown a
steady growth from the beginning. If any-
thmg, the soda business has helped the
flower business."

Know Your Public and Act

It is a fact that the florist has held back
in the matter of side lines, giving considera-
tion to the feeling that no other line will
harmonize with his own in a satisfactory
manner. But the retail business is con-
stantly changing in all lines, as ethical mat-
ters are changing in the professions. The
public soon gets used to a new association
and the early birds who get in on a new
movement usually get the business worm.
It is only necessary to use judgment and
good taste in order to sell a side line
along with flowers. There is no use shout-
ing it to the world in the columns of the
newspapers. A modest window display, if
your side line permits, with an arrange-
rnent that makes the side line really a side
line and not the main line, will do.

The delivery facilities of the average flo-
rist enable him to take on a suitable side
line that will cut down the costs of main-
taining this system of delivery. A Los
Angeles florist carries a line of fine cut
glassware, fine flower vases, etc., which he
sells to his customers with success. He has
developed quite a trade in this side line,
doubling up on deliveries and advertising
both his glassware and his flower stock in
the local newspapers. The two lines har-
monize beautifully and are in perfect keep-
ing. The glassware lends an added charm
to the flower shop and a customer buying
flowers is usually in the mood to consider
a vase to put them in.

passes his shop door. All human beings love flowers
instinctively; also, nearly every individual has his pref-
erences. It is always presumed that a florist must be
as much a lover of flowers, personally, as the veteri-
narian is a lover of animals. To associate cigars and
tobacco with flowers would undoubtedly injure the
florist who tried it because they do not go together.
To open a lunch room in part of the flower shop would
repel people from your door, the odors of the kitchen
do not mingle well with the perfume of the flowers,
and the rattle of dishes do anything but make flower
buying pleasant.

Take a Hint from the Druggist

Quite a number of drug stores in New York have
found a small stock of flowers to be a good side line,
sales being transacted usually at the theatre hour. These
stores make no attempt to sell elaborate bouquets but
specialize in 'Violets and Sweet Peas, with a few choice
Roses. But the attention required in handling flowers,
at a profit, is too great to make it possible for the
ordinary drug store to render good service in flowers.

Box candy of the finer variety goes well with flowers,
takes up little space and the florist already has refrigera-
tion facilities with which to keep surplus stock safe.

1 11 Say it witn Flo"wers

Lillie Gilliland McDowell

ril say it with flowers, for flowers have
speech.

My lips, all a-tremble, are dumb.
When I bid them express the love that 1 feel.

Oh, they try, but the words will not come.

I'll say it with flowers — with Roses so red.
That glow like the love in my heart.

As the Rose to the vine, so thy life to mine.
Of its very existence a part.

ni say it with flowers, writh Roses devr-
drenched.

Pure and fair as the Roses thou art.
I've whispered it to them, I'll sing it to thee.

That 1 love thee, 1 love thee, dear heart.

Best Plants for a Hotel Foyer

Further Suggestions in Response to the
Inquiry from Baltimore

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

This is the first opportunity I have liad
of answering your inquiry as to plants
suitable for use in a hotel foyer. As you
know there is a scarcity of palms and
decorative materials in this country to-
day, owing to Quarantine No. 37. I would
therefore suggest the following for hotel
use as being the best palms now obtain-
able in this country: Phcenis canariensis
ajid P. reclinata; Kentia belmoreana and
K. Forsteriana; Scaforthia elegans; Areca
lutescens; Rhapis fiabelliformis and E.
humi) is; Latania borbonica ; Phcenix
Roebelenii; Chameerops dactylifera and 0.
humilis; Washingtonia; Pandanus Veitchii
and P. utilis; Cocos Weddelliana; Aspi-
distra variegata.

The latter used in baskets and urns
makes a very pretty effect and of course
we all know its great keeping qualities.
S. A. AndersoNj
Buffalo, N. y.

Nearly all plants require light, heat
and moisture and it is with those which
can do with a small amount of the above
that we deal when decorating hotel lob-
bies and other public places more or less
unsuitable for plants. If all foyers con-
tained no outside windows or other sources
of direct light the problem would be com-
paratively easy, with the furnishing of
suitable decorative containers of ferns.
Ivies and Draceenas, or various forms of
stove plants which would thrive fairly
well and could be replaced at a moderate
cost. For the average hotel lobby our ex-
perience has taught us that large Phcenix
canariensis and Pandanus Veitchii are
among the very best plants available.
Latania borbonica is most excellent when
used as a small plant in group effects, or
when a large specimen can be used as a
high effect so that the commercial space
may be fully utilized. The common Cen-
tury Plant has also been known to give
wonderful service when kept sponged up
and immaculate in appearance. This plant
shows up better when placed in the midst
of groups of ferns or small palms.

The several varieties of Aspidistras stand
forth pre-eminently for this purpose and
when beautiful specimens are obtainable
they give value to all concerned. They
stand considerable dust, and are heat re-
sistant to a remarkable degree. Plants
for vases or other containers in hotels
should not be left for a period of over 45
days at most so there should be two full
sets of tubs kept in rotation. There isno other
alternative or economy in the matter, for j
a longer period of time simply results in
giving up the plant idea altogether or in
paying an extra amount in losses. Beautiful
settings of Boston ferns, Dieffenbachia and
Crotons surmounted with a specimen of
Cibotium are wonderfully effective and
beautiful, but should only be chosen where
the heat is even and a generous supply
of indirect light is available. The vari-
ous forms of Acubas when planted closely,
particularly in shallow vases below the
level of the eye, are inexpensive, in fact,
so inexpensive that they may be changed
frequently with good results. Ficus elas-
tica, while not popular, can be used very
effectively, particularly when a mixed lot
of plants be used in various forms of
boxes in hotel lobbies. Rhododendrons,
which have not bloomed, are found val-
uable for this class of work and are most
attractive when of the right size and
shape, and when closely planted, Pandanus

Veitchii, of course, can stand a wonderful
lot of rough usage as well as the ab-
sence of moisture and light.

Ficus pandurata grown with three or
four branches per plant is a wonderful
keeper, but is so conventional that unless
it conforms to the immediate surround-
ings it had better be toned down with
some softer plants. Ficuses are most
wonderful when used in groupings with
English Ivy. Areca palms could be used
around fountains or where there is a
wealth of light and where the draughts
are not too strong. Other beautiful forma
alleviate their lack of stamina and are less
expensive than Kentias. Some of the bet-
ter keeping Privets, such as Ligustrum
amurense or aureum do fairly well when
well matured. I. B.

Advertising of Allied Florists' Ass'n
of Illinois

The good advertising work of the Allied
Florists Association of Illinois is pro-
ceeding right along to the great advan-
tage of grower, wholesaler and retailer.
With this we reproduce the ad used by
the Association in the Chicago Evening
American of Saturday, April 9. The ad
read well, was properly "displayed," the
cut of the conservatory at its head drew
attention to flowers, and so was in every
way fitted to perform its task — that of
fixing in the minds of flower lov-
ers that ^ it was possible for them
to buy choice blossoms at surprisingly low
prices. Added to this the fact that Ella
Grant Wilson was enabled to have printed
on the same page of the paper containing

the ad an article on the "Mission of Flow-
ers," and another on "Springtime

I Fashions in Flowers," naturally gave the

I ad itself more publicity.

I It has been admitted that the formation
of the Allied Florists Association of II-

j linois was fraught with many difficulties
and obstacles, arising principally from
the indifference of the very men who
should be most concerned in this adver-
tising propaganda, that is, the retailers.
Now, however, this same class is con-
vinced that the advertising done in Chi-
cago is redounding just as much to their
benefit as it is to the men who grow flow-
era and to those who wholesale them, and
so they are chipping in with the others
and playing their part in the game.

Of a prominent Eastern florist who died
recently, it is told that on the afternoon
of the day before his death he asked his
son to bring him the current issue of The
Florists' Exchange. The son brought by
mistake another trade paper, but the dying
man did not want that and was not sat-
isfied until he had had brought him The
Florists' Exchange.

The Market

Unseasonably warm weather during
the week ending April 9 gave tremendous
impetus to production, resulting in a sub-
stantially glutted condition of the mar-
ket, with the usual decline in values. Per-
sistent effort was required upon the part
of the wholesalers to move the increased
receipts, which was done by jobbing the
increased items to retailers favorably lo-
cated, for special week-end sales. This
necessarily means extremely low prices,
but it is the only approved resource for
clarifying a stagnant market condition.

A decided change in the temperature
was ushered in on April 8, with cold rain
turning to snow on Sunday, the 10th,
which, no doubt, will assist in restoring
the much desired equilibriimi between sup-
ply and demand.

Mother's Day Prospects

As much of the bulbous stock, as
well as liberal cuts of Roses and Carna-
tions intended for Mother's Day, is being
forced to early maturity by the warm,
bright weather, it is quite likely that a

A Word to
Lovers of Flowers

Horticultural Halt, Massachusetts and
Huntington avenues, is the scene of a
Flower Show which every admirer of beauti-
ful flowers should see between now and Sun-
day evening, when this exhibit is over.

The display of roses, orchids and spring
flowers of the choicest varieties isundoubted-
ly one of the most creditable ever made in
this hall famous for charming exhibitions.

Every showing is worthy of mention
and we say don't miss this Rower Show
and in passing note our display of flowers
particularly arranged for home decoration.

p. S. — ^Today is Rose Day — with these
beautiful blooms at their hest.

The ad above, reduced to one quarter
size^ is inserted just to show how Penn
the Florist, Boston, tied up the recent
flower show to the people of Boston. The
inclosed ad was run in the various Boston
newspapers and is a worthy suggestion
for florists in other cities where flower
shows are held. It is an indirect ad which
creates goodwill with the people as well
as with the management of the show as
is evidenced by the wording.

serious shortage will obtain at that time
of imperative need. Lower temperature
during the next couple weeks, of course,
will retard production in a salutary man-
ner, but already considerable damage has
been done. Another ten days of latter
May weather transplanted into the pres-
ent month, will certainly seriously jeopard-
ize the Mother's Day supply of stock.

The publishert of THE FLORISTS' EXCHANGE have made arrangement* with The Macmillan Company to mpply a limited
edition of thia set to their readers on monthly terms — see coupon — and we can unqualifiedly recommend the work

THE New Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture has been freshly written in the light of the most recent research cuid experience. It
is not merely an ordinary revision or corrected edition of the old Cyclopedia, but it is a new work from start to finish with enlarged
boundaries geographically and practically; it supersedes and displaces all previous editions or reprints of every kind whatsoever.
It is the fullest, the newest, the most authoritative of all works of its kind and constitutes the most conscientious attempt that h^
ever been made to compress the whole story of our horticultural thought, learning and achievement into one set of books. The
owner of the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture will have at hand in this work a means of quickly satisfying his need for authori-
tative information. It is both an Encyclopedia and a Manual. Amateur and professional alike may quickly identify any plant,
shrub or fruit contained within the set, and then receive expert instructions for its culiieation.

A Few of the Many Important New Features

J^gy (q This is a device to enable one to find the name

— — of a plant. The name thus foimd is quickly

referred to under its alphabetical location, where
full information will be found in regud to it.

veriest amateur and to the botanist or commercieJ expert.

the classes, orders and groups of plants, with a brief
sketch or characterization of 215 of the leading families,
comprising those that yield practically all the culti-
vated plants. These family descriptions give the botanicjJ characters;
the number of genera and species and the ranges; a list of the important
genera; brief statements in regard to the useful plants; and diagrammatic
illustrations.

Illustrations '^^''^ ^^ 24 colored plates; 96 full page half-
tones; and more than 4000 engravings which serve
as guides in the text. These color plates constitute the best possible com-
bination of expert horticultural color photography and color printing, with
a mastery in selection such as only Dr. Beiiley's knowledge can supply.

5 leaves in S varieties, no cheap mixture, mostly
salmon and red shades, at $4 per 100, S35 per 1000,
$30 in lots of 2500 or more, which is less than the
cost of production. Have three houses filled with
them and as plants need spacing am compelled to
make this offer. They will be packed right to travel
in good condition any distance. Any reasonable
proven claim will be adjusted.

Potato Wart Desease

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
has found that the reports from England
as to the great resistance of this disease
to all treatment, are only too well
founded. It is said to be one of the
most stubborn diseases with which the de-
partment has ever had to cope. All the
chemical treatments have failed to entirely
eradicate the spores from the soil, while
steam sterilization is so costly as to make
it impossible on large areas. Whv, we
may ask, try to treat the soil? All ex-
periments in Europe having failed, the
British authorities are devoting their en-
tire_ attention to developing the immune
varieties as rapidly as possible. In Eng-
land and Scotland, they have been trying
to light this disease for some 15 year's or
more; meantime it has spread until
scarcely a county is free from it. All
such districts are now closely watched, and
none but immune varieties are allowed
in them without a permit. Further, no
merchant is allowed to sell even immime
varieties unless they have been certi-
fied by inspectors.

It should be noted, too, that this dis-
ease also attacks the Tomato. Like the
PotatoB, certain varieties may be im-
mune to it, but in a test made by the Dep't
of Agriculture last year, 26 varieties out
of 28 were found susceptible. It is not
yet known, of course, whether any va-
riety is totall.v immune.

The dangerous possibilities of this dis-
ease are, therefore, greater here than in
England, where practically all Tomatoes
are groT\Ti under glass and are not likely
to be brought in contact with infected
soil. As has been announced the disease
is^ present in various centers in West
Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.
These areas are quarantined, but then
even quarantines are not certain.

Stamford (Conn.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of the
Stamford Horticultural Society was held
April 4 in the Horticultural Hall, with
Henry Wild in the chair. Seven nomi-
nations for memberships were received
and three for lite membership. It was
reported that one life member has of-
fered to give to the society §14,500 with
the stipulation that the members raise
between themselves a like amount. Every
member present at the meeting, therefore,
became a life member by giving fifty dol-
lars toward the proposition and there is
no doubt that before the end of May
the money will be raised. This will free
the society's hall from all encumbrances.

Monday evening, April 10 a lecture
will be given by Mrs. Ingersoll.

Following were the awards of the even-
ing; Roses: Columbia, vote of thanks;
Hadley and Crusader, honorable mention;
seedling Carnation, highly commendedi

Farming Outside In

To be a farmer outside and a flower lover inside, is
like a lot of folks really are. But to farm outside and inside
both, is unique with Richard Bros. You talk to them
about being Carnation growers and they laugh at you.

They reply: "We don't grow Carnations, we farm
them intensively." It happens that within a few miles of
them at Kenneth Square there is a regular colony of green-
houses of numerous constructions.

Being able to so easily compare our houses with the
others and get so many first hand points of view from the
owners, it sold Richard Bros., on the idea of having one of
our houses, long before we sold them the actual house.
If you would like to adopt the same method, we will gladly
give you a list of names of nearby Lord & Burnham house

More About

jesse P.KING.

pUORIST — <

There he is, looking at one of his own 'Mums. If
you know Mr. King at all, you know he did a lot of
his LOOKING AFTER them, months before they *ere
worth LOOKING AT. Which, have a notion, has a
little something to do with their later being so goodly
to look at.

If we, up here at the office, never saw one of his
'Mums, we could come pretty close to telling you the
quality he grows. Suspect that the way he goes
about buying his greenhouses is the way he goes
about growing whatever he grows.

It's a lot of genuine satisfaction to sell a man who
virtually sells himself. It's a lot harder than selling
a man who will let us sell him. Harder because he
goes about it carefully, step by step, and sees to it
that he fully understands every detail and its purpose.
When Jesse King was through talking to us he had
just begun to get started on doing some of his tall
thinking.

He didn't put his name on the dotted line that day —
not by a jug full. Or the next, either.

He went back to Mount Airy and got out a perfectly
good knife, sharpened his pencil with it, and did some
figuring. Then he did some comparing of the houses
he has, with the houses we wanted to sell him. We
called him up on the 'phone, but he was still figuring.

Then, one day, alone comes the order and our sales-
man threw out his chest, as if he had sold him. But
he really hadn't.

Jesse P. King first sold our construction to himself.
Then he sold our houses to himself. But before he
started doing any selling to himself he was first
thoroughly sold on our Company being the kind of
concern he wanted to do business with.

Not a half bad way to go about buying houses,
wouldn't you say?

You know we go anywhere to talk greenhouses.
You can sell one to yourself anywhere you are.

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to our customera that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
in. high and was covered the entire seaaon with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2H in. across, while the individual flower would be J^ of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

The B. and B. Idea

Otherwise "Basketing and Burlapping." A nursery house evolves the

idea that through the use of a certain form of wire basket, plants in

full bloom and foliage can be lifted and sold, without fear of loss,

all through the otherwise quiet months

Ordinarily the planting season for nursery stock is
t short duration ; it is crowded into a few weeks each
;ll and Spring, to our sorrow, as we all know. The
Ijption of the following idea will extend the planting
1 iod for blooming shrubs throughout the entire grow-
}: season— and cannot fail to prove profitable to the
ial nurserymen.

The idea is this : "We take a small mesh wire basket,
Itemed after the old-fashioned hanging fern basket,
1j which we plant hn assortment of dormant shrubs
(ring our spare time. In the Spring we plow out a
\ie furrow, drop the baskets into it. and then cultivate
1 ■ ordinary stock. These soon strike root, penetrate
io the outer soil and then, when in full leaf or bloom,
1 lift them basket and all and sell them to our patrons.
junds reasonable — docsnt it?

! "Here's the results:

( "Nursery sales from May to October
"Easy sales — the plants are not 'naked branches'
"Pleased customers — such plants 'fill the eye'
"No replacing — as plants are sure to grow

I "Opportunity to replace failures in dormant plant-

' ings

I "Ability to clean up surplus cellared stock

■ 'Xarger local trade — saving shipping
"More business for every nurseryman practising it
"With larger wire — evergreens may later be included
"Good returns during an otherwise dormant (finan-
cial) period

' "Ability to keep a good sales organization intact

j "Nurserymen will be advertising — 'Say it with
Shrubs'

' "B. & B. may later mean 'Basket and Burlap.' "
(

Try it and see what the results will be under your soil
il climatic conditions. It is a little late to get best
.■iults — but plant them at once — move in August — and
(in observe critically.

The Florists' Exchange was fortunate in being able
i place the originators of this idea in touch with a
(ticern who, in short order, produced the exact form
< basket desired. The originators of this idea with
; eye single to the welfare of the industry, and not
1'Ough any desire for gain, have asked us to offer
! nples of these baskets, without charge, to nursery-
( a and others desiring to try the foregoing idea, their
( y request being that, next Fall, the recipients write
;.i tell them of their success or failure. It is getting
C in the season but it is not too late to try out the idea

0 a few backward plants.

jThe expensive period of a local nurseryman's business
J r is pretty well understood, we take it. The rush of
b;iness comes on all at once, then w'hen the order is
f 2d ensues a slack season making it extremely difficult
t- carry an organization of competent men during the
tied of the Summer months in which no adequate
ivice is possible to be rendered for the salary paid.

1 a competent organization cannot be maintained the
lirserj'man has to go into the highways to employ any
i't of help to get through with his rush periods. With
t|: "basket" idea working much planting could be done
(ring the dull season of Summer. The "Basket and
I rlap" idea is intended to cover a nurseryman's local
t de. It is a craze today, with house owners, to plant
t"ew shrubs or something desirable around the founda-
fn of their houses. The automobile brings them to
t: nursery from miles around. The whole family
(ces a day off for the occasion and, of course, they
l;p a salesman busy. A family cannot afford a land-

ipe man; they don't know what to plant, and they
Up a salesman busy asking all sorts of questions about
(.• plants and otherwise. Each plant has to be de-
^ ibed, and most valuable men and most valuable time
iat the mercy of these patrons. If a nurseryman could
■ead this business over April, May, June, July, August
d part of September, he could afford to keep up a
l.h-class organization in part, show the buyer results,
lead of TELLING them, and have some money coming
, during all those months that would make both him-
s f and his bankers smile.

vVe all recognize that a seasonal business is hazardous
:his may come about through adverse weather, tem-
Jrary depression, financial stringency, etc., either visit-
f you or your possible customer. After October, No-
mber, March and April have flitted by the nursery-

man must sit on the curb so far as sales are concerned
and just wait until these months come around again.

Another point, and an important one to consider in
this "Basket and Burlap" idea, is that when you are
able to sell a plant in full bloom it "fills the eye" and
leaves nothing to be described. To the majority of
would-be planters a dormant shrub is just a few bare
branches that the nurseryman has to cover with beau-
tiful flowers and foliage through an illuminating de-
scription !)}■ a nursery salesman or the "plate book," the
pictures wherein have come to be greatly discounted.

Another point in the use of the wire basket: It is
quite possible after a short e.xperience that the weight
of the wire can be increased so as to enable the nursery-
man to use these baskets for the planting of evergreens,
Japanese Maples and other expensive plants, as they
may be left longer in the nursery row than blooming
shrubs.

Still another first-class idea in connection with the
use of the basket is the fact that special burlap sacks
can be made with draw strings to quickly burlap the
baskets. These sacks can be made in different sizes to
fit the different size baskets in use.

It has been learned that nurserymen have been potting
up shrubs, moving them with balls of soil, also that
crude baskets have been used heretofore so as to be able
to sell the plants therein in full leaf, and so it seems
that the present idea is just a different application of an
old practice, insuring the grower that if the baskets can
be made at a low cost price — and they really can — bas-
keting and burlapping plants in full flower and foliage
will become general usage among nurserymen.

The firm offering these trial baskets does not care,
for the present, to have its name published. It will be
given due credit in these columns later on; in the mean-
time if any of our readers will agree to give these bas-
kets a fair trial and report results in the Fall, all they
need to do to obtain the baskets is to send us in a letter
or telegram, and we will at once place them in touch
with the public-spirited nursery house which has evolved
the "B. and B." idea, and the baskets will be sent them
absolutely without any following charge so long as they
hold out.

An Alabama State Quarantine on Account of the

Mexican Bean Beetle Effective On and

After May 1, 1921

Notice has been received from the office of the Sec-
retary of the Federal Department of Agriculture, Wash-
ington, D. C., to the effect that an injurious insect, the
Mexican Bean beetle, exists in portions of the State of
Alabama, and that by reason thereof it is necessary to
nominally quarantine that State and actually to restrict
the movement of certain plants and plant products into
and out of a certain specified infested area therein. This
area corresponds with that designated in Alabama State
Quarantine No. 29, of Nov. 20, 1920, on account of the
same pest. The document referred to is accompanied
by a map outlining the infested region. This quarantine
excludes the transportation from out of the infested sec-
tion of (1) fresh or green cultivated Beans, including
all common garden or field Beans, whether string, snap
or shell Beans, and including all Lima Beans, California
black-eyed Peas or Beans, and all green Cow Peas and
Soy Beans, but not including Velvet Beans or English
Peas or thoroughly dried and cleaned shelled Beans or
Peas of any kind; (2) all forms of "greens" or edible
plant leaves, such as those of Mustard, Chard, Spinach,
Turnips, Beets, Collards, Cabbage and Lettuce and green
Corn (roasting ears), for the period between April 1
and Nov. 30, and matured Corn in the shuck (for the
period between Oct. 1 and May 31; and (3) Hay and
similar forage crops, including Alfalfa and Pea vine
Hay and Corn stover, whether baled or loose, and also
forage crops when included with shipments of live stock
throughout the year.

It is provided that the quarantine and its regulations
shall not apply to root crops from which the tops have
been completely removed or to Peanuts, Tomatoes, Canta-
loupes, Watermelons, Berries, Grapes, Nuts or tree fruits.
The State quarantine, however, "covers all nursery stock,
except when such stock and packing materials shall have
been so treated by fumigation or otherwise as to destroy
the Mexican Bean beetle in any stage or in hibernation,
under the supervision of a duly qualified inspector ap-
pointed by State or Federal authorities."

Readers affected by this quarantine should send at once
for a full copy of "Notice of Quarantine No. 50 with
Regulations," addressing their request to the Secretary of
Agriculture of the Federal Horticultural Board, U. S.
Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.

STATICE

Its Availability as a Cut Flower

iny American visitor who strolls into Coveiit Garden
I rket, London, between July and October, can
I rcely fail to notice a flower sold under the name
0 ^tatice. On the other hand un English ilorist is im-
l]Jiately struck by tlic fact that Statice is no-
fire visible in New York. What is the explanation?
^■■ii was tiie query put to us recently and we are
it to find any reason why Statice is not a prouii-

■ iiture in every New York wholesale and retail
[lot only during the Suininer, but during the

:id Winter also.

iifive not to our knowledge seen it in .use nor
(i 5 any market reporter ever quote it, yet as has
b n stated, it is one of the most important lines handled
0 the other side. Acres of it are grown around Lon-
di. while most provincial florist growers, particularly
lithe South, devote a patch to it. Its absence here is

0 a par with the absence of Stevia paniculata or ser-
r 1 as it is wrongly termed, in English markets. For
n apparent reason. Ste\"ia has never held a place as a
c.iHiercial flower on the other side, although it is
njre or less well known to old time gardeners and is
e ilv grown to flower after Gypsophila paniculata has
fl shed.

luring the past year or two, a few growers there
he been interesting themselves in Stevia and it is
nl improbable that it will eventually become a standby
f Kail use if not for under glass, as it is here. Must
iLie assumed that Statice is ignored on this side for
a'^imilar unfathomable reason, or is there some real
eilanation for the apparent indifference to its appeal.
]■: it be at once understood that the Statice we have
ijuiind is not the perennial S. latifolia or Sea Laven-
c' nor the species S. incana alba, muc(h of which has
In imported from the continent of EiuTope in the
fit. Incidentally England used to import consider-
se quantities of S. incana in pre-war days but, when
t supply ceased, some growers found they could grow
i quite well themselves. Many more would have done
shad it been possible to obtain seed, as the dried flow-
e were worth about $4 a pound. While on this point
^at is to prevent S. incana alba being grown here, as-
soing seed is obtainable?

5ut to return to the Statice previously referred to.
lis known to European gardeners as S. sinuata. The
fie is blue but the general run of seed sold is not
vially constant in its color, for one may find dark
ai light blues of many shades. In addition, there is
8 a, wJiite, also varying in its purity and Bonduelli, yel-
1' ; likewise variable, while a variety called rosea, is
8 ) listed but is far from true.

IS stated, the general run of seed offered is lacking
i )urity, more so since the war than formerly but this
i: oerely a question of selection. The prompter of this
c e detailed some selections he made because he was
s, disgusted with the multitude of variations. He
5 ded three shades of blue, dark, mediium and lavender ;
a.> light and dark pink from a big block of blue, while
f^m the white and yellow he likewise made special se-

1 ions. The seed germinated quite as freely as the im-
F ted, and came true to his desires. If "this can be
0 le in England why cannot it be done here? To sat-
i:- our curiosity we consulted Bailey and found that
t se and numerous other species of Statice are grouped
>*ler the auibheading Limonium, the entire famUy of
i(ich in Johnson's is relegated with the Statice. Bailey
nkes no reference as to whether S. sinuata or Limo-
rm sinuata is grown commercially in this country,
b: mentions the fact that the species Bonduelli has
nre broadly winged branches when grown in California
tin is usual. Johnson as stated prefers to keep in
1'; with most authors and therefore lists the species
tier notice as Statice. Bonduelli is credited as a na-
t! of Algeria, introduced 1859 and sinuata from the
Jditerranean region 1629. The white candidissimum
al pink rosea, are presiunably natural hybrids or
c nee breaks, the former probably.

imffice to say that be they of the genus Limonium
0 Statice the plants under notice are of greatest service
t florists on the other side and should be so here.
I:e S. latifolia the foliage is low growing, laying
rette like almost on the soil. The leaves are narrow
a 1. deeply serrated or scalloped. The flower stems
c imence to push up quite early in the season but, it is
ctomary to pinch out the first that appear, to en-
c rage greater vigor in the plants. The stems push
f m among the foliage, not from the center of the
pnt and, so variable is their Character, that the stems
nv be wiry and round or heavily flanged. For some
p -poses the flanged stems are useful, especially in the
f;5h state, as the wide green flange serves almost as
fjtage. For drying, the wiry stemmed forms are per-
ms the better and, it is as a dried flower that Statice
h great claims. Actually, Statice does not require to
b placed in water at any time. UTie stems reach up
*:> or three feet and branch freely, each branchlet
frying a truss of small cup like flowers. Their tex-
t e is crepe like and, when cut in the expanded con-

dition, remain so, retaining their color for twelve months
or more. Many people make a point of using Statice
tor permanent decoration. The flowers are mono-sexual,
male and female appcoriiig separately in the same truss.
in the blue forms, the female flowers arc always vibi-
ble because of their white corolla which stands above
the blue and in well developed forms, these bicolor
trusses are exceedingly attractive. Tlic white variety
has either whitish or yellow corollas. The writer holds
ttie view that the white can be greatly improved by se-
lection, for in a big block one may find plants bear-
ing pure white mule flowers, with female flowers equally
white and the corella ulinost so. The bulk, however,
bear flowers, the female i-orolliui of which are suljihur
to deep yellow. The yellow Bonduelli always has yel-
low corollas, but the degree of yellowness in the flowers
varies considerably. Indeed, variability appears to be
general with the whole family, due no doubt to the readi-
ness with which the \aricties intercross. The writer
has found plants bearing flowers evidently possessing
blue and yellow ancestry, a ghastly combination. Any-
one desirous of producing high grade Statice must, it
would seem, devote time and attention to selection. It
can be done as has already been stated and, we have
been told of one grower on the other side who invariably
features a more brilliant blue than other growers.

The culture of Statice is not difficult as it thrives
on almost any land save clay. The seed is sown in mod-
erate heat from mid-February to early March in flats,
pricked out into others at a distance of li/oin. and
kept fairly cool, finally hardening off in frames in readi-
ness for planting out as soon as weather permits. Plant-
ing out in England is usually done in April in four
foot beds across the field, three rows to a bed. A two
foot pathway separates each bed. As the flower stems
push up, bamboos and a string are run along side
the paths to keep the stems from falling over. No great
amount of manuring is required, but dirty land should
be avoided as the plants need cultivation with hand
hoes up to the last minute, to prevent weeds from smoth-
ering the prostrate foliage. Once the latter has spread
over the ground further hoeing is impossible.

It should be mentioned that raising the seedlings is a
somewhat tricky operation. The seed itself is sold in
the form of dried flowers, as it is impossible to free
the seed, which is small, much smaller than Aster seed
and black in color. The dried ttmsses of flowers are
better for sowing if pulled apart, tedious though it is
but, in any case, the flowers should be laid on their
side, not upright nor upside down and just covered
with soil. Unlike any other seed the writer is ac-
quainted with the radicle or rootlet appears from the
top of the seed, not from the base where it is attached
to the ovary. The rootlet pushes forth and, when it
takes hold of the soil, pulls from the dead flower, two
narrow leaflets which then push through the soil. It
follows that the seedlings appear in bunches but as a
general rule many of the flowers contain no seed, a
fact fully understandable, as only the female flowers
contain seed. It will be realized that unless on their

side, the young seedlings have small chance for freeing
themselves from the mass of rubbish. If upside down
they cannot get cleor and if upright, the seed leaves
are liable to rot before the rootlet can descend suf-
ficiently to exert its pulling powers. The pricking off
priK'ess must he done expeditiously, for if left longer
than ten days or so after the seedlings appear, the de-
caying flowers will cause wholesale damping off. The
pricking off must be done before the rough leaf ap-
pears. A small label is a good tool to use for lifting
the seedlings and the worker must earefullv pull the
seedlings from among the mass and plant them so that
the seed leaves just clear the soil. The amount of
root is, of course, inlinitesimal but the worker must
avoid setting any with broken roots. Usually the ger-
mination is good enough to allow one to be discriminat-
ing. After pricking off, keep close for a few days and
exercise care with the water can. After they get hold,
the treatment as given to indoor raised Asters will suf-
fice. One pound of seed will insure several thousand
plants, but in comparison to its bulk the seed appears to
give but a moderate number of plants. The flowers
should only be cut when dry, or at least given a
chance to dry before packing. Bunching is done so
that the flat sprays all face one way, the size of the
bunch being more or less governed by the eye although
the operator judges somewhat by what he can span
with his fingers.

The flowers do not require placing in water and can
be fairly tightly packed in crates without damage. For
drying, the bunches merely need hanging in an airy shed
or greenhouse, but shade is advisable to insure the color
from fading.

Forest Memorial to John Burroughs

Up .Slabsides way work has begun on a memorial to
John Burroughs. It was no easy task to devise a suit-
able memorial for this great naturalist, but the one hit
upon fulfils all requirements. Amid the green forest
now to be planted, up in tlie Catskills (N. Y. State) a
tablet set on a great boulder and dedicating the planta-
tion will do fitting honor to the man who knew and
lo\ed every inch of the country about his mountain
retreat.

A section of the shoulder of Big Indian Mountain is
to be reforested with Scotch Pines. By planting ten
thousand three-year-old trees in the first batch, and add-
ing another ten thousand annually until the task is com-
pleted, the creators of the memorial can get through in
a reasonable time.

A memorial forest, with a little care, is as permanent
as man will let it be. The one to be created will give
comfort to the animal friends of John Burroughs, as
well as to human beings who will enjoy its shape and
its products. More of such plantations are needed,
whether as memorials to great Americans or to Amer^
ica's own splendid wild past And we need forests as
plain forests to replace those swept away. — N. Y. Sun.

Notes from Abroad

A mild form of heat wave has come
from somewhere over Western Europe
since Easter 1921 passed into history, a
shade temperature of 70deg. having been
noted in London, and although seasonable
moisture is still lacking, the plant world
is gradually assimiing its normal Spring
aspect. The flowering Plums and Peaches
are now opening out over carpets of blue
Anemones and golden Daffodils at Kew
Gardens, thus keeping up the reputation
of the latter at a dream of beauty at this
season, and attracting the usual crowds
to see what Nature can accomplish when
assisted by horticultural art.

From these rather esthetic considera-
tions to the present slump in seed Pota-
toes is something of a descent, but those
who are suffering therefrom can be ex-
cused if they are not inclined to enthuse
over the beauties of Nature. The general
trade depression has no doubt a great deal
to do with it and coal strikes with others
in prospect, are not calculated to have a
reassuring influence on those who handle
this indispensable esculent.

Farm crops generally are looking very
well at the present time with the excep-
tion of certain shallow rooting articles,
but rain will soon be anxiously looked for
to give a proper start to the later Summer
crops.

With the opening of the growing sea-
son, the question of help in nurseries be-
comes more acute. The nurseryman, long
worried by the question of minimum wages
finds it a doubtful matter to engage young
lads, as they have, by law, to be paid
for more than they can possibly be worth
to commence with. This makes the nur-
seryman ponder and contemplate in the

which he told us at that time were the
largest within the twelve year history of
his business.

Peter Henderson & Co., 35-37 Cortlandt
St., are now mailing out their bulb cata-
log which contains "special import offers
of flower bulbs." The list is quite exhaus-
tive, including everything in the line of
bulbs which are planted in the Autumn
and which are allowed to be imported
under the present rules of the Federal
Horticultural Board.

Walter McDougal, floor manager for
Peter Henderson & Co., who has been on
the sick list for several days at his home
in Jersey City, N. J., is now at duty again
at the big store where the rush of busi-
ness is extremely heavy.

The daily press of April 19 reports
that Wilfred Hartley, employed as a gar-
dener, and Anna Thompson, as a maid, by
John Bryam, whose home is at 1464 E.
2d st.j Flatbush, are accused by Mrs.
Mary Bryam, his wife, of robbing her on
Saturday last of $1500 worth of jewelry.
The maid returned later bringing back
part of the jewelry and Hartley was ar-
rested in a nearby hardware store. Both
were locked up on a charge of larceny.

The sales of Bose bushes and small nur-
sery stock and also of hardy herbaceous
plants and roots at the Vanghan's seed
store, manager Hartland tells us, on the
closing days of last week and the early
days of this week also, notwithstanding
the rain, have been extremely large. The
demand for vegetable and flower seeds,
and also for field seeds, fertilizers and
sundries, continues to be active.

Among the callers in town this last
week were Lester L. Morse and Frank
G. Cuthbertson of C. C. Morse & Co.,
San Francisco, Calif.

New York Seed Trade

Window Displays

The window displays in many of the
seed stores of this city are often most in-
teresting and are indicative of what a
large variety of goods the modern seed
store carries although, of course, these dis-
plays do not at any one time represent
all the goods which these stores have to
offer. We were standing a few days ago
in front of the great seed store of Stumpp
& Walter at 30-32 Barclay st., and we
took out our notebook and wrote down
the names of some of the goods which we
saw in one window; here they are: Lawn
mow^ers. Planet, Jr. "Pulverizer, Leverer
and Weeder," shears, trowels, hand cul-
tivating tools, sprayers. Asparagus cut
ters. Asparagus bunchers, dibbles, garden
lines, garden baskets, hose, lawn rollers,
gloves. Asparagus tape, hose reels, baskets,
rustic Cedar vases, refuse burners; very
likely we did not see them all. In the
companion window there was a compre-
hensive display of vegetable, flower, grass
and field seeds, bulbs and roots, and what
one might call a store entrance display
of Rose bushes. Rhododendrons, several
kinds of small nursery stock. Rhubarb
roots, Caladiums, Madeira vine roots. Cin-
namon vine roots, hardy Hyacinth bulbs.
Gladiolus bulbs and Pansy plants, and
again we say, we probably did not see all
that was on display.

Last Friday at noon we stopped a few
minutes in the auction room of the Mac-
Niff Horticultural Co., 52-54 Vesey St.,
although the rain was falling we found
the room crowded and the bidding lively.
Mr. MacNiff, president of the company,
tells US that sales on Saturday last even
exceeded those of the recent Saturday

New York Seed House

Wm. M. Hunt & Co., 148 Chambers St.,
New York City, incorporated on April
15. The officers of the firm are as fol-
lows: Wm. M. Hunt, president; H. Gold-
berg, vice-president and treasurer; Wm.
DeVanny, secretary. The capital stock
is $40,000. This enterprising firm of com-
paratively young men engaged in business
for themselves about four years ago. Be-
cause of their previous thorough knowl-
edge of the seed business and through
their indefatigable industry and good
judgment they have made during these
years a rapid and substantial growth.
Their business has steadily increased and
been extended until it now covers the
entire field of the recognized seed indus-
try.

Chicago Seed Trade

What would otherwise be one of the
best seed selling days of the season the
past Saturday was remarkable for the
few purchasers in the stores. The snow
and sleet that whipped through the streets
at a 50-mile-an-hour gait, gave the seeds-
men a day of rest.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co. re-
turned Monday from a two months' trip
to the Pacific Coast. He is favorably im-
pressed with the possibilities of the coast
in growing many things formerly imported
from Europe. Mr. Miller intends to leave
at an early date for France and Holland
where he will remain until the bulb
shipping season is over to personally in-
spect all stock shipped to his company.

The division of publication of the
United States Department of Agriculture
asks through its press service, dealers to
make Onions a leader in their Spring
sales. The Chicago Evening Post recently
published a timely, editorial; it says
"Onions are good, they are fine in flavor,
savor and smack."

Holland bulb growers who have made
Chicago headquarters for the past few
months are now leaving for the East.
Most of them intend to sail for Holland
the early part of May. Their stay in
Chicago was much longer this season than
ever before, on account of the Chicago
Bulb Forcers Association agreement not
to place orders for bulbs imtil after
Easter. The Bulb Forcers Association
had prepared a contract, the stipulations
of which was very much in their favor
and imposed considerable risk on the
Holland growers. This the Hollanders
refused to accept and finally through an
understanding on the part of both, the
bulb growers secured the orders on their
oivn order blanks as in the past. It is
said, however, that the orders are not as
hea\T this season as in years past. A.
Kynvelt of Rynvelt Brothers, Lisse, Hol-
land, received while here, information
from Holland that all 'the bulb crops are

in full bloom and in a promising condi-
tion.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports a con-
tinued demand for Gladioli with a tend-
ency on the part of the purchasers to
secure the best named varieties. At-
tractive advertisements of these offered
in various collections are running in the
city papers; these are meeting with a gen-
erous response from the public. It is
now almost a year since the change across
the street was made to the present lo-
cation, 10 and 12 W. Randolph st., and
improvements are still under way. A
spacious poultry department is being-
installed in the basement which will
greatly facilitate the work in this im-
portant division.

Holland Bulbs in Britain

It would appear that British merchants
are playing very shy in regard to buJb
purchases. When the noted Scotch house,
! Dobbie & Co., Ltd., publicly states that
"The Dutch bulb trade is no good to the
British seedsman" it looks as if matters
were not running any too smoothly.

It would appear that British firms us-
ually retailing bulbs, do not intend to
feature them to any extent this coming
Fall, for, says Dobbie & Co., Ltd., "it
will be better to buy from hand to mouth
toward the end of the season than cart
thousands to the rubbish heap as most of
us had to do last year."

American Seeding Machine Com-
pany Suspends Indefinitely

Springfield, 0., April 16. — ^The plant
of the American Seeding Machine Co.
was closed today for an indefinite period.
Mayor B. J. Westcott, treasurer of the
company, says that owing to light Spring
trade and the fact that the warehouses
are full of agricultural machinery, it was
decided to shut down and make needed
repairs. Normally the company employs
from 800 to 1000 men. Recently the force
has numbered about 500. — ^N. Y. Sun.

Week at the Capital

The Sciles Tax

Opposition to a sales tax as a gei
eral tax levy is mounting, and it is pri
dieted that there are not enough vote
m the House to put through Congress an
of the propositions now pending. Accorc
mg to Republican Floor Leader Mondel
there is no need for a sales tax, or an
other substitute, to furnish revenue t
replace losses that will occur from th
repeal of war taxes.

Tax Revision Demanded

A thorough revision of the tax sys
tem is sought by Congressman Simeon E
Fess of Ohio, who has introduced a rcso
lution in the House to provide for a com
mission to inquire into the present systen
and make recommendations for revision.

Leaders in Congress have had flood
of advice as to what to do and not b
do in the matter of taxation. No cm
wants to pay taxes; every one has somi
scheme for making the other fellow paj
and escape himself. The charge is mad(
that not one real constructive suggestion
free of selfishness, has been presented.

Under the terms of the Fess resolution
the President would appoint a commission
consisting of eleven members; three from
the Senate, three from the House and
five to be selected from outside of Con-
gress, whose duty it would be to con-
sider the subject of taxation and report
their findings and recommendations not
later than July 1, next. It carries with
it an appropriation of $25,000 for the
purpose.

Hope for Railroad Users

Congressman Green of Iowa, rank-
ing Republican member of the House
Ways and Means Committee, has intro-
duced a bill for the repeal of Section 500
of the Revenue Act, providing taxes on
freight and passenger transportation, Pull-
man accommodations and telephone and
telegraph service. This proposal is likely
to receive consideration in the near fu-
ture when the Ways and Means Com-
mittee undertakes its proposed revision
of the revenue laws.

WORK^

Early Chrysanthemums and Crops
to Follow

^! M.-l; up with nxilcd ciittin;;s or 2in.
plutitt*. for as soon as you K«'t room next
month, the earlysorts should be benched.
They will do all right if planted later,
but you will not get the stems or the
lar^e flowers tlien. and that is what
counts with the single stemmed ones.
Early bem-hing and keeping the stock
mpving is the thing. Now is the time to
iiguie out what to grow on for next Win-
ter, and when to bench the Chrysanthe-
niutns so as to make room for the next
cr^Jp to Inllow. You may not alwaya
make a lot of money out of your early
'Mmns. but it should be taken into con-
sideration that they are out of the way
by the end of October and the bench can
be liad to plant Freesias, Snapdragons,
Sweet Peas, Calendulas or some other
crop. For the smaller grower this is of
importance. You may want the bench
for small bedding stock, kept up to that
time in a frame, and which couldn't be
kept through until the end of November
when the last of the midseason sorts of
Chrjsanthemums are out of the way. If
you don't spend a little time now in
laying things out it may happen that later
on you will find you have made a mistake.
The large grower with many houses
has not nearly *as much reason for being
so particular about all that as the man

. with a limited amount of glass and car-
rying a great variety of stock to supply
his retail trade with.

I

I Tamarix for Cutting ^b^

i Tamarix are classed under the decidu-

■ ous shrubs by the nurserymen and are but
little used by the florist, even the one

\ who handles shrubs as a side line; and
yet, whether it be Tamarix africana, T.
odessiana, gallica or purpurea, all of them
are really of value to him during the
Summer months. Their fine, feathery. As-
paragus Sprengeri-Iike branches are just
the thing to cut from. Greens of this
kind always come in handy; you need

; them every day. Even during the Sum-

mer months greens of some kind have to
go with tlowers in making up a wreath,
pNlow or oth.M- funt^ral dusign, or a spray.
You couldn't ask for anything better
than Tamarix green, and if you place
the cut branches in water for twelve
hours in a cool plac<s it will keep as well
as Asparagus or any other fern you might
mention. There ure localities where
some of the above varieties are not quite
hardy, but that shouldn't stop you from
planting — and, enough of it. I realize
that you can't use these greens for all
purposes, neither can the wood ferns; but
for all of that, it is a mighty fine thing
to have a row of plants in the field to
cut from; it will save other more expen-
sive greens.

Annual Larkspur

The annual Larkspurs in their dif-
ferent shades of pink, blue and white make
fine Summer cut flowers and particularly
so for those who retail what they
grow. Seed can be sown out now in the
open in rows and another sowing be made
later on. The hardy Larkspurs flower in
June and July; many will keep it up all
Siunmer. For Midsummer the annual
sorts are better; the spikes are not so
heavy and we don't have the soft shades
of pink among the hardy sort.

Scabiosa

For the retail grower the Scabiosas are
among the best Summer flowers we have;
they start in to bloom by the end of
June and keep it up until cut down by
frost. The flowers come in distinct and
beautiful colors, quite different from all
other annuals; they have long stems and
last for days in water. For best results
the plants should be given fully a foot
of space and each one provided with a
30in. stake to hold the plant up. The
flowers themselves don't need support,
but during a heavy windstorm full grown
plants, if not staked, are apt to break
down. Another thing is to keep the flow-
ers picked so as not to let them go to
seed. It may sound out of place to talk
so much, about this old timer, and yet it

I Among the Bulletins

': Bulletins of various kinds have show-
:;red upon us of late. Some of them are
i both interesting and serviceable. The
,ilarch Bulletin of the Missouri Botanical
j harden contains a most extensive article
5n Roses which describes all the phases
3t garden culture, a list of the most suit-
able varieties is also given. Bagging the
'BagTvorm is another article of value; it
lives simple instructions for. coping with
I this voracious pest.

\^ The Journal of the New York Botanical
jGrarden for March continued the entertain-
ing talk about Florida by John K. Small.
•■ This writer's travels took him througb
,Qiany little known trails.
! The Indiana Horticultural Society
ituonthly Bulletin is largely devoted to
■ observations in regard to fruit growing
in New England, and experience with
nitrate of sode on Peaches. The latter
fruit is apparently benefited considerably
|through the use of nitrate of soda.
\^ Nursery and orchard pests is the main
; feature of a special bulletin issued by
the ITniversity of Missouri. A really val-
uable booklet to have on hand.
' Potato Diseases in New Jersey is the
'title of an excellent booklet issued by the
|New Jersey Experiment Station. After
■sizing it up, one concludes that the New
(Jerseyites are great people if they can
'.grow some 15 million bushels of Pota-
'^toes, despite all these afflictions.
I Dipping and Fumigating Nursery Stock
[is a subject the Columbia, Miss., Uni-
versitjchas been investigating. It would
appear that miscible oil and lime sulphur
;are both good solutions for dipping. Tests
prove that carbon bisulphide is not as good
as hydrocyanic acid gas for fiimigating.

Another bulletin from Columbia, Miss.,
is specially devoted to a report on what
the ilissouri Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion is doing for the state. Much of it
relates to agricultural matters, but hor-
ticulture is not overlooked. Cabbage seed
selection for disease resistance orchard nu-
trition, study of factors influencing the
rest period of plants, and various plant
breeding experiments are among the sub-
jects studied at the Columbia University.

American Dahlia Society

The Bulletin for April shows evidence
of further expansion; it has now reached
32 pages. The front page is devoted to
the forthcoming exhibition to be held at
the Hotel Pennsylvania and it is made
clear that the show will run for four
consecutive days, viz. September 27 to
30, instead of three as originally planned.
The remarks about bud variation by Prof.
J. W. Gregg are of more than usual in-
terest

"The Classification of the Dahlia,"
"Tubers versus Plants," and "Oversized
Dahlias," are other articles worthy of
perusal. The most important feature of
the Bulletin, however, is the. opening
instalment of a complete list of all known
Dahlia varieties. The w^ork of compiling
this list was begun some years ago by
F. H. Hall of the Geneva, N. Y., Experi-
ment Station, but the war and indifferent
health made it impossible for him to
' continue witli it. J. B. S. Norton in the
meantime has carried on the work and,
being as he is, one of the most reliable
Dahlia authorities in the country, the use-
fulness and value of the list will be ap-
parent to all who are interested in
Dahlia progress.

dcHcrves it; I don't know of any other an-
nual which in the long run will produce
more useful cut flowers during the Sum-
mer months; or, if you plant the right
colors, I doubt whether any other an-
nual will bring in more money. Plant
2in. pot plants out next month or make
a sowing of seed outdoors now and then
plant out afterward; and then make an-
other sowing later on which will give you
your best and longest stemmed flowers in
late October.

Hardy Hydrangeas

Both Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora
and H. arborescens grandiflora are fine
for Summer flowering and useful cut
flowers for the florist. H. arborescens
starts to flower in June and when cut
with long stems is just the thing for
sprays. It is usually through flowering
by the time H. paniculata starts. For
best results both of these Hydrangeas need
severe pruning. Cut last year's growth of
the H. paniculata back to one or two
eyes. That will give you long stems and
heavy flower heads. When neglected or
just trimmed back a little, small flowers
and short weak stems will follow. Every
florist should have a nice display of both
of these Hydrangeas. -

Stevias

By all means grow at least a few of
the dwarf double Stevia this year. This
is a good thing. It can be grown outdoors
during Summer and either potted up or
planted on a bench in early October. It
doesn't need the headroom the old variety
requires. Whether you grow the double
or the single, it is still time to take cut-
tings. They root in a few days and will
grow into large plants by Fall. Steviaa
are as popular as ever and the man who
arranges things so as to have plants to
cut from in November, and can keep it
up until February, which is easily done
with pot plants carried in a cool house
and brought to warmer quarters when
wanted, will save a lot of more expensive
Asparagus ferns to go with a box of Rosea
or Carnations.

Cleveland Cherries

You will want Cleveland Cherries
again next November and December. By
that time your customers will have for-
gotten all about the fact that the plants
they bought last year dropped their foli-
age. Their bright berries will look aa
attractive as ever and cheerful as well.
If you haven't seedlings ready for 2^8, it
will be better to purchase small stock
than to sow seed. These Peppers are eas-
ily handled during Summer by planting
them out in the field. Lift in Septem-
ber and pot up; if done carefully they
will keep right on growing and flowering.

Poinsettias

It is time for the dormant stock of
plants to be taken from below the
benches, where they have been stored
away since last January, and potted up.
When given a sunny bench and enough
water the plants will begin to break and
you can start to take cuttings by the mid-
dle or end of June. The early cuttings
will make the best stock for benching to
cut from; they will have the longest stems
and the largest bracts, while for made
Tip" pans you can take cuttings from the
old plants up to the end of July. All Poin-
settias need during the Sununer is plenty
of sun and water.

Carnations

The old plants in the benches can stand
another feeding consisting of a light layer
of sheep manure and bone meal, and if
they are in good shape, it won't hurt to
let them have a top dressing of good soil
mixed with well rotted manure. Another
way to keep them in good condition and
obtain fair sized flowers during hot
weather is to apply a light shade on the
roof of the house. Don't have it too thick,
and the more ventilation one can give the
better. Carnations, in a hot dry house,
soon go to pieces, but at this time of the
year, if kept cool, their flowering can be
prolonged.

As far as is possible, the varietal name,
raiser, date of introduction, class and
color is given. The list, which contains at
least 6000 names, will appear in instal-
ments in the Bulletin.

Association of American Cemetery
Superintendents

The proceedings of the above associa-
tion's 34th annual convention are em-
bodied in an 86 page booklet. Held at
Hamilton, Ont., in September last, this
report of the convention appears some-
what belated, but it contains some inter-
esting notes regarding landscape work and
other subjects related to cemetery plant-
ing and designing. The 1921 convention
is to be held at Detroit, Mich.

Gladioli in the September show and a
communication was read from Messrs.
Dietz and Trivet of New York offering
substantial premiimis in this line.

The quality of the exhibits were of the
high standard. Specimen Cinerarias by
Robert Williamson and vases of stocks
and Antirrhinum Silver Pink by George
Hew^itt were first class. G. H.

Westchester and Fairfield Horl.
Society

The monthly meeting of this society
was held at Greenwich, Conn., on Friday
evening, April 8, with a good attendance
in spite of the inclement weather. The
most important feature of the evening was
the address given by Mr. Curtis, head of
the Westchester County Farm Bureau.
His subject was "Soil Fertility," although
his talk carried him in many other di-
rections. He was listened to with every
attention by all present and the many
facts that he unearthed were certainly
interesting to everyone.

We are sure to have Mr. Curtis talk to
us again at some future date and I would
advise all members to be on hand when
we are favored by him again.

There are many classes provided for

Sewickley (Pa.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of this so-
ciety was held in the public school on
Tuesday evening, April 12, with President
John Carman presiding. Approval was
given a committee report fixing Sept. 29
and 30 as dates for a Dahlia show, and
November 3 and 4 for a Chrysanthemum
show.

Recommendations of the bylaws com-
mittee w^ere approved as submitted at
the last meeting and the secretary was
instructed to have the revised code printed
and distributed to the members as soon
as possible.

A letter was read from A. H. Ether-
ington, late gardener to E. A. Woods,
esq., who is now in business on his own
account at Thomasville, Ga., offering
three prizes of Rose plants for amateur
members of the society for Dahlias ex-
hibited at the show in September. The
offer was accepted and a vote of thanks
sent to the donor.

The question box proved the feature
of the evening and an interesting dis-
cussion took place on a wide range of
horticultural practice. Many questions
came from amateurs and some interest-
ing experiences were disclosed.

The Emergency Tariff Bill

Hearings are being held by the Sen-
ate Finance Committee on the two very
important features that were tacked on
to the Farmers Emergency Tariff Bill be-
fore it was passed by the House. These
are the anti-dumping and depreciated ex-
change provisions.

It develops that there is a question as
to the workability, as well as the feasi-
bility of these new features. It is charged
that the Treasury Department will ex-
perience a great deal of difficulty ad-
ministering them and that the domestic
manufacturers and producers will not be
materially assisted by their application.

The anti-dumping provisions are in
some particulars the same as those in the
existing tariff law, with the addition of
the necessary enforcement provisions. The
principle underlying the proposed addition-
al duty to be added in prevention of dump-
ing, particularly, where the tariff valua-
tions are upon foreign market values, is
to add such an amount of duty as will
equalize sales at less than the foreign
home market value or foreign export value

or cost of production with profit added,
whichever may be the highest, thereby
making it unprofitable to dump goods on
the markets of the United States at low-
er prices. If the seller of the goods is
compelled to add as duty the difference
between the sales price and what he would
receive by selling in the otherwise highest
obtainable market, all reward or induce-
ment to dumping is removed, it is de-
clared.

The measure under consideration lim-
its foieign currency depreciation for duty-
assessment purposes to 66 2/3 per cent.
Under existing law, all duties are liqui-
dated on the basis of the currency of the
invoice or appraised value. If the cur-
rency be found to be depreciated, the
duties are assessed on the exchange value
on the day of e:^rpo^tation. The exchange
value of the currency of some of these
countries is so low that the duty col-
lected is very small. It is declared to
be the practice of some foreign sellers
to require American merchants to pay
for their goods in American dollars and
to state in their invoices that the home
value is of a lower unit price stated in
the depreciated currency of the country
of origin. On tho ether hand, if the price

paid by the American purchaser were
converted into the currency of the ex-
porting country on the basis of the stand-
ard coin value, the difference in the two
figures would to a great extent disappear
and the values both for home and export
would be alike. The new provisions are
intended to a great extent to remedy this
alleged evil.
For Those Who Have Had Losses

Congressman Burroughs of New
Hampshire, has introduced a bill to re-
imburse taxpayers under the income tax
law who have sustained losses in busi-
ness in subsequent years.

This bill provides that if for any tax-
able year beginning after October 31,
19iS, it appears upon the production of
evidence satisfactory to the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue that any taxpayer
has sustained a net loss, the amount of
such net loss shall, under regulations
prescribed by the Commissioner with the
approval of the Secretary of the Treas-
ury, be deducted from the net income of
the taxpayer for the preceding taxable
year, and the taxes imposed for the pre-
ceding taxable year shall be redetermined
accordingly.
For Better or Worse

The repeal of the existing tariff
(Underwood) law", and the imposition for
a period of six months of the provisions
of the Payne-Aldrich law, is proposed in
a joint resolution presented in the House
of Representatives by Congressman Crow-
ther.
Postal Shipments to California

The Postoffice Department is call-
ing attention of persons in the postal
service to revised instructions dealing with
terminal inspection of plants and plant
products addressed for delivery at places
within the State of California. The list
of plants and plant products subject to
such inspection has been revised as fol-
lows :

"All florists' stock, trees, shrubs, vines,
cuttings, grafts, scions, buds, fruit pits
and other seeds of fruit and ornamental
trees or shrubs, and other plants and

plant products in the raw or unmanu-
factured state, except vegetable and
flower seeds: Provided, That the list of
plants and plant products shall not apply
to plants and plant products shipped
under the certificate of the Federal Horti-
cultural Board of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture."

Freight Charges on Perishable Goods

Senator Trauimell of Florida has in-
troduced a resolution in the Senate de-
signed to direct the Senate Committee
on Interstate Commerce to investigate
the present high freight rates being
charged on Citrus fruits, vegetables and
other perishable farm products, with a
view to bringing about early legislation
that will result in a reduction of the ex-
isting freight rates on such perishable
products.

Dangerous (or Nurserymen and Flo*

rists

A "pure nursery ^stock" bill haa
been introduced in the 'House by Con-
gressman Cramton of Michigan. Under its
terms, it would be unlawful for any per-
son to ship in interstate commerce, any
nursery stock which does not bear on
each tree, shrub or plant, or on the
original unbroken package thereof, a label
stating the true, accepted and correct
name of the variety of each nursery
stock, the name of the person who grew
it, and the place where it was grown.
The accepted variety is to be the name
accepted by the recognized authority for
the class of nursery stock in question,
such as, in the case of fruit trees, the
American Pomological Society.

The Cramton bill defines "nursery stock"
as including all field and greenhouse
grown plants, such as fruit trees, trees,
shrubs, vines, cuttings, grafts, scions, buds,
and all other plants or parts of plants
for planting or propagation.

Fines, not to exceed $200, imprison-
ment, not to exceed six months, or both
such fine and imprisonment in the discre-
tion of the court, are provided for viola-
tions of the proposed law. E. A. D.

£. G. HUl's Iiectore

To say that E. Gurney Hill has
done more for the advancement of the
^ose and horticulture in general than
any other man who has ever visited our
shores, does not half express the senti-
ment of the amateur or professional Hose
lovers of Baltimore. The outstanding
achievement of Mr. Hill's talk was the in-
terest manifested by his vast audience
of real Rose people and the close atten-
tion given his every word. His authori-
tative and original method of express-
ing records of American Rose progress, as
well as the work accomplished in Europe
shown by the finest set of picture views
ever thrown on a screen in Baltimore,
was a pleasure and a privilege never be-
fore available to members of our club
and Maryland Rose fanciers. Gurney
Hill's Rose night will go down in the
history of the club as a classic of all time.
Right here, let us quote a few lines of
a recent letter from President Robert
Pyle of the American Rose Society, who,
unfortunately, was not able to be present.
It carries the word: "I remember so well
when visiting the Rose growers and gar-
dens in Europe before the war, on more
than one occasion being impressed with
the fact that wherever I went the name
of E. Gurney Hill was known and held
in the very highest esteem. In the me-
morable years since then, Mr. Hill has
added not only to his own laurels, but to
the list of famous American Roses he has
ma_de a most noteworthy contribution.
How much he has raised the present day
standard of American Roses it is beyond
our power to estimate. Rose lovers in
America are proud and happy that we
have such men; not only who in them-
selves are great, but the rare work of
whose hands adds increased prestige to
t-hp— faTHP— nf — ArTnCT-TPJi.Tr "RnvpR."-^ - -^ "

^Mj. Hill did not-teudir on his latest
productions and seedlings, but our Balto
folks say: "Come on America, Red Co-
lumbia and the rest; we look forward to
your entry with the greatest pleasure and
anticipation."

Round About Witli E. G. Hill

ilr. Hill, almost immediately after
registering and breakfasting at the South-
ern on. 'tuesday morning, motored out to
pay his compliments _to . John Cook, our
ovra veteran Rosarian.lt was the great-
est privilege to sit in "'and, hear, the two
famous men reminisce. @,loEig Rose lines.

About thirty men, all subscribers to
the little informal dinner to our guestj

birds, and Xed's world famous Bantams
held sway for the better part of half an
hour, !Mr. Hill remarking he had never
seen such pens of high bred chickens in
all his travels. Just before leaving, Ned
brought out his trained canary, which for
color tone, voice and technique beats the
world.

The following out of town firms sent
in Roses, in compliment to our guest. All
were staged in the Rose exhibition; The
Florex Gardens, Xorth Wales, Pa., with
Premier, Columbia, Butterfly and Dun-
lop; Gude Bros,, Washington, D. C, with
Red Radiance, Columbia, Ophelia and
Dunlop: Xoe and Ruzicka, Madison, New
Jersey, with beautiful red seedling. Among
the local exhibitors were Lehr & Fritze,
Stevenson Bros., Andrew Anderson,
James Hamilton, Isaac H. Moss, Inc.,
Jos. S. Merritt, James Glass, Chas. E.
Akelhurst & Sons, Jesse P. King of I\It.
Airy, Md., and Chas Siegwart with a
beautiful collection of orchid flowers.

Marv Patterson Johnston, Isaac H.
iioss, Inc., J. A. Ritter & Son and Rob-
ert L. Graham sent presentation baskets
of Roses.

Clarence Ritter had charge of the lower *
floor oi. the Southern Hotel. Roses were

W. W.Edg'ar Co., Waverley, Mass., first prize display of Rose plants, any or all classes, arranged for
effeCl. This exhibit consisted of Tausendschoen Roses' throughout. See issue of Apr. 16, page 891.

Joe ]*klerritt and his entertainment com-
mittee never worked harder to make "The
Occasion" a success. ..

Wm. F. Ekas was superintendent of
Rose show; he was the real man on the
real job. , i

Mary Patterson Johnston and Isaac H.
Mossr inc., sent in palms to decorate the
ballroom.

George Morrison, George Black and
Clay Primrose assisted the lady jurors at
the Rose show before the lecture.

Alexander Scott, now retired, but one
of the most prominent Rose growers about
town in his day, was present to hear Mr.
Hill.

Pres Robert L. Graham, Jr., intro-
duced Prof. A. S. Thurston of College
Park, who gracefully did the honors for
the club by presenting Mr. Hill.

Hoot! mon! we were all there.

Robert L. Graham entertained Mr. Hill
at luncheon at the Southern Wednesday

Tom Stevenson was personal bodyguard
and 'twas well! The ladies fairly over-
whelmed Mr. Hill with questions and
compliments during and after the lecture.

Bob Patterson and Rob. Johnston,
respectively, held down the publicity and
decoration part Of the program in their
usual past master style.

Robert L. Graham, Squire Hamilton
and Tom Stevenson traveled pretty much
all day Wednesday with Mr. Hill, domg
the commercial Rose plants about town,
with Pres. Robert L. Graham, Jr., as
chauffeur.

The feathered colony at . btevenson
Bros. eapturedjMr. Hill's atteoition while
en route. Tom's Game prize winning

placed on the tables and given the man-
agement and personnel.

John Cook's handsome basket of Roses
was the first to arrive at the hotel for
Mr. Hill.

R. L. Mayhew and Mr. G^iger of the
Florex Gardens, not only sent a wonder-
ful collection of fancy long stemmed Roses
but traveled all the way from North
Wales, Pa., to hear Mr. Hill.

John J. Perry had Roses sent down
from the home offices of his firm in
Philadelphia.

Honest ! The number of Packards,
Pierce-Arrows, Pearless-es, Overlands,
Henrys and Lizzies that were offered the
committee to take Mr. Hill joy riding on
Tuesday and Wednesday was something
awful. Jim Glass was in the running,
and he can sure drive a car.

President Robert L. Graham, Jr.,
was here, there and everywhere. Wm. F.
Gude once introduced this boy, as "the
livest wire in the East." He held his own
during Mr. Hill's visit.

We surely did miss R. Vincent, Jr. at
both the dinner and lecture. Mr, Vincent
was compelled to go to New York on
committee work for the American Dahlia
Society early Tuesday morning.

Mrs. Wm. A. Dixon, Mrs. Geo. S. Jack-
son, Mrs. Frank S. Hambleton and Mrs.
Wm. A. Fisher, Jr., acted as jurors in
the exhibition of Roses. Many prominent
members of the American Rose Society
sent in their names as patrons and pa-
tronesses. R. H.

News Notes

H. Grahl has been sending to
Robert L^ .Graham some very fancy Car-

nations, especially the white and pink
Enchantress. This stock is remarkably
heavy for this time of the year.

Stevenson Bros, have about completed
two handsome cottages, on the lower side
of the road leading to the greenhouses.
One for the foreman and the other for the
fireman.

Arthur A. Richmond, who has been on
the sick list, is about again with the old
live-wire swing to him.

Arthur Niessen was in town on Monday.

Dennis Connor spent a couple of days.,
with us last week. We believe he likes "
this old town.

Frank E. Cremer of Hanover, Pa., ar-
rived just in time to hear Mr. Hill's
opening remarks, lecture night. R. H.

Following closely upon the death of
Mrs. Richard Vincent,. Jr., comes the sad
news of the passing away of another
member of the Vincent family, Mrs.
Edna_G^ Ihraayer, daughter of-Thos. Ar.--
Vineent (son of Richard Vincent, Jr.)
who died on Thursday, April 14. Mrs.
Dwaager was 26 years of age and leaves
three small children. She had been ill
for some time with a complication of dis-
eases. Burial was on Saturday, April 16.

Newport (R.I.) Horticultural Society

A regular meeting of the above so-
ciety was held on Tuesday, April 12. Com-
mittees of two were elected for each of
the school gardens to serve as instructors
in horticulture during the planting and
growing seasons. An appropriation was
also made to furnish the necessary fer-
tilizer for the school gardens. Indications
are that the usual annual appropriation
of SIOOO from the State will be available
for ^he pajTnent of premiums by the so-
ciety to citizens of the state.

The Executive Committee will report
premium lists for shows at its nest meet-
ing on April 26. Alex. MacL.

In the retail trade there is an occa-
sional splurge in funeral work, otherwise
it is just a little below normal. A recent
funeral used American Beauty Roses for ■
lining the grave and all the floral bffer-
ings corresponded in cost. One particular
incident that added rather a humorous
touch to an otherwise sad occasion, was
the fact that a prominent merchant who
sent a spray of American Beauty Roses
secured them from New York because
Lancaster American Beauty were not as
good as those from New York. Both, no
doubt, came from the same growers.

Plant trade continues very good and
any good blooming plant finds a ready
sale.

At the Rosary they are busy day and
night with their combined seed and flower
store and will be up until some time in
June.

H. A. Schroyer and Mrs. Schroyer have
taken a trip to the Hot Springs for a
few weeks and Miss Steckman with her
assistants, is handling the business just
as well as if the boss was on the job
himself.

At the B. F. Barr establishuent the
nursery end keeps the full force working
practically day and night and, as a reve-
nue producer, is miles ahead of the cut
flower end of the establishment.

T. J. Nolan made a flying trip to Lan-
caster to capture several orders for build-
ing. He goesf after any building rumor
the same as a trout fisherman will go
after a trout in a stream 20 miles from
home and this sort of persistence usually
lands the trout in one case and the con-
tract for the building in the other^^

Some Suggestions on Lengthening the Buying Season— How Root Pruning
Helps Toward this End

rHERE is certainly one respect in which the air-
plane has it over the automobile or any other
earthly vehicle : it need never be expected to wear
its in the road, out of which it is hard to climb. Speak-
g of ruts, tliere are several that the nurseryman ought

The Perfect Root System

With a mass of fine roots like this on your trees — the
result of regular pruning and careful growing — you can
safely urge customers to buy and plant all Summer long.

j make every effort to steer clear of, or to get out of
' he has already landed in them.

One of these is the old idea of the short and fleeting
' Jring planting season. Many of us have gotten into
[ e habit of thinking that as soon as the leaf buds begin
; break, the end of the safe moving and shipping period
at hand and our business, for that season anyway, is
)0Ut over. That notion, combined with the extreme
1 .rliness of the past Winter's breaking up, has made
>21 anything but a red letter year for some nurserymen.
: nd yet, how needlessly !
i For, after all, the real planting season for
namental shrubs and trees, provided the
ght care is given both before, during and
ter the moving operation, may be said to
St all the year around, excepting only those
jonths when the soil is so frozen as to pre-
i:nt digging holes or plants to set in them,
have seen, as many a nurseryman has, no
mbt, 3ft. and 4ft. specimens of Syringa,
hiladelphus. Spiraea and other common
Lrubs, shifted from a nursery to a property
.:veral miles away, while in full bloom, and
ji successfully that they did not even shed
eir blossoms any sooner than they would
ive had they never been shifted. In these
.'.ses it was simply a matter of adhering to
ementary principles of not letting the roots
Kome dry at any time, and of injuring the
lot system at little as possible.
I With larger tree stock the same rules hold
:)od, with additional and special emphasis on
:e development of a dense and fibrous root
j'Stem by means of judicious and systematic
i>ot pruning. Whether done tree by tree,
jvo men working with spades on opposite
;des and circling around the plant until it is
fosened on all sides; by means of a regulation
lee digger drawn the length of each row; or
ith one of the improved, specialized L-shaped

root pruners. such as that devised by a southwestern
nurseryman, and improved and used with considerable
success on the Hicks Nurseries, Westbury, N. Y., the
purpose and effect of this operation are the same, namely,
to stimulate an early branching of the main roots and
the development of a mass of fine feeding roots that can
easily be included in the ball when the tree is dug and
moved.

Let the nurseryman prepare his tree stock in this way —
which means, after all, no more than a root pruning
every two or three years — and he can with safety and
with profit urge his customers to extend their planting
season right along through May, June and even July and
August, until the Fall or second annual planting season,
according to orthodox ideas, is under way.

The keynote of successful selling is to offer your goods
just when your prospective clients are in a buying mood.
In the case of nursery stock when is this mood more
pronounced — or at least the desire that leads to it — than
right now, when soft green shoots are draping trees and
shrubs in every direction, when well developed plantings
are leafing out into their full beauty, when Springtime
thoughts of love are mingling with longings for a little
homestead and for the blossoms and foliage that alone
can give it the final touch of cosiness and beauty? Right
now, therefore, is the time to urge buying and planting
of ornamental stock, with the added consoling suggestion
that if necessary the actual shipping and planting can be
delayed a couple of weeks or a couple of months, if
need be, until the new little home is a reality.

Look at it simply on a cold business basis. Which is
the better proposition, ten sales of bungalow planting
material dug and shipped in a hurry in the good, old-
fashioned way, to as many customers who have been
scared into the sending of an order by the threat that
''the planting season is nearly over — don't delay !" — or
50 sales of larger, more carefully selected orders turned
in at their leisure by parties who have been assured that
they can plant carefully grown, ball rooted stock for the
next two or three months, even though filling the latter
orders means more work and the need of supplying a
better class of goods? Cannot you see that home build-
ers started ofif with confidence and faith, as in the second
case, will become much more enthusiastic gardeners who
will keep their interest alive and cater to it by buying
and planting a tree or a shrub or a bunch of plants when-

Root Prune, Develop a Good Root Ball, and Sell Trees all the Year 'Round

Home-made L-shaped root pruner as used with excellent results on the Hicks Nurseries.
Westbury, N. Y. The heavy, sharpened blade, which is firmly affixed to a strong wooded
plow beam aiTair, is about 20in. deep, the lower, horizontal member beinjr Sin. long. Drawn
fhro''gh the nursery rows by two strong teams or a cable and windlass device once every two
or three years, it develops a perfect root system for transplanting purposes and enables the
nurseryman to extend his sales season so as to cover practically the entire year.

The Root System that Loses Time

The average tree with a root system like this — the result of neglect
in the nursery row or of uncontrolled growth in the open — can be
moved only during two brief planting seasons, and even then the shock
will set it back a year or two, even if it doesn't kill it outright.

ever they have a new idea about the development of
their grounds? That sort of customer makes permanent
business — and well repays you for any extra trouble, ex-
pense and time you invest in producing stock to meet
their need of "all season" planting. Keep the orders
coming, and develop your methods so you can fill them as
they come.

"There's another rut that we often stumble into, and
that is as to the supposed permanence of any decorative
planting. Why don't more nurserymen preach and teach
the gospel of the need, desirability and possibility of
occasional change and rearrangement in the home
grounds? Most people, when they see their Privet hedge
set and trimmed, their "massed planting" of half a dozen
Forsythias, some evergreens and a Lilac or two, settle
back with a half contented, half regretful sigh because
all necessary planting has been done for the next genera-
that if necessary, the actual shipping and planting can be
tion or two at least.

Why not give those good people instead the shock of
their lives by suggesting, after a few years, that if the
shrubbery appears to be getting crowded, it can just as well
be dug up, pruned back and rearranged so as to create
some new effects, without either spoiling the
lawn and the looks of the place or making
it necessary to wait half a dozen years for
effects? Careful moving and judicious prun-
ing (under the nurseryman's directing eye as
"advisory expert" — at a fair but comfortable
price) can do wonders even with well de-
veloped specimens that have been blooming
for several years. It is only recently that
amateurs have realized' that it is possible to
cut a Privet hedge back two-thirds without
killing it, but on the contrary with wholly
beneficial effects ; why not bring them also
to a realization that they can add to their
pleasure by working for new results with
their shrubs and small trees just as with their
annuals and perennials in their flower garden.
It will not only develop their taste for horti-
culture, and thereby make them more recep-
tive of further mutually advantageous advice
from the nursery trade, but it will also develop
them into steady friends and far more fre-
quent customers than they would otherwise
have become.

Both the above thoughts hitch up with the
larger principle that the development of the
nursery business to its maximum proportions
depends not solely upon the "creation of the
buying habit," of which the editorial in last
week's Exchange spoke, but also upon the

Subscribers are hereby notified that the

authority given above party to act on behalf

of THE EXCHANGE has been cancelled.

By this time our readers should be fairly familiar with
the name of F. B. McKee. Due to information received
it was necessary for us, two weeks ago, to cancel the
authority of this man to act for The Exchange. On
Tuesday of last week McKee was arrested and charged
with forgery in a Newark (N. J.) court. He was
granted freedom for 24 hours on a $200 bail but failed
to appear at the specified time, and his immediate re-
arrest was ordered.

The Exchange is an.xious to have a complete record
of McKee's transactions on its behalf ( ?) and asks those
who have had such to send a full report to our office as
quickly as possible, providing such action has not already
been taken.

For the reason that McKee, presumably, has still in h'is
possession a number of our official receipt blanks we
again caution the trade not to do any business whatso-
ever with him on our behalf.

Nursery-men, generally throughout the length and
breadth of the country are hereby solicited by the editors
for contributions of material intended to prove helpful
and educational to their brother co-workers in the line
Ihose of us who have looked behind as well as those of
us who are looking forward, and who have studied the
situation of 30 and 30 years and 10 years ago as com-
pared with the situation today, realize that the nurserv
industry has by no means reached the condition where
It can be said to be at its apex. There are wonderful
things in store for the present day nurseryman as well
as for their successors. Naturally, it is our present day
endeavors with which we are most concerned, never-
theless these same endeavors of today are calculated to
lead to the greater importance of the business in the
tuture. Let s hear from you, Mr. Interested Nursery-
man. ■'

"The Happiest Day of Our Lives"

Thus our old friend, Peter D. Barnhart, describes the
iittieth anniversary of his wedding which, as told and
^"'i"?r 'u ^"p*er column, was celebrated with a unique
and delightful gathering of the Barnhart clan at Los
Angeles on Feb. 23. It is gratifying and heartening to
no slight degree, in these days of scandals, divorces,
intrigues and casual marital relationships, to come upon
evidence of true permanent conjugal loyalty and happi-
ness the sort of evidence that proves convincingly and
everlastingly that, after all, s ^ ^ u

"God's in His heaven
All's right with the world."

The truth is of course, that the world is safe and
sound, and will remain so, just so long as there are in
it brave, loyal, true and loving hearts and upright kindly
souls as exemplified in Mr. Barnhart and his sweet-
taced, sweet-voiced spouse. And so we rejoice in their
happiness, and extend again our grateful felicitations
upon their passing of this notable milestone, not only
because of the well deserved joy and satisfaction it
Brings to them, but also because in knowing they are
among us upon the earth, we know full well that through
their presence and influence the world is made a better
and a happier place.

Too Well Satisfied With Ourselves

Recently a gentleman returning from a church service
asked a friend whom he met why it was that so few
people attended the services and received this reply: "I
guess it's because we are all too well satisfied with our-
selves."

Has this same feeling invaded our florists clubs, or
some of them at least? Does this same feeling pervade
the retailers, as a class? Are they so satisfied with the
good results which have come to them these past few
years that there has been created in their minds the
feeling that business will continue to come to them with-
out any further effort on their part, and that money
placed in a national publicity advertising campaign or
for publicity in their local towns would simply be
money wasted?

That some such feeling does exist here and there
would seem to be a fact; but that it exists universally
throughout the country we cannot bring ourselves to
believe.

A recent letter from a gentleman who has given
generously of his time to florists' club work these past
35 years is certainly pessimistic in its tone concerning
the outlook for the club on whose behalf he has labored
so strenuously. He says, "Our meetings are attended
by few and cooperative work is nearly dead. It seems
as though everyone had changed, teamwork or anything
having to do with cooperation seems hard to put in
motion. Perhaps a change in the times may cause a
revival of the good old days when we all had a per-
sonal interest in anything that tended to benefit the
trade and advance its interests. Today we are all
more or less absorbed in work which compels our every
hour devotion to keep the ship afloat, and the results
may be seen on every side in that apathy toward con-
centrated effort for mutual benefit is so marked."

That this condition is by no means universal we all
know because our newsletters continue to show us evi-
dences of progress actually accomplished as well as
efforts toward the accomplishment of things having to
do with mutual welfare.

That here and there the trade may have "gone back"
because of absolute self-contentment with what has been
accomplished is likely enough. All in all, the United
States is a pretty big community; that always some
sections will be advancing and others perhaps retro-
grading or standing quiescent is quite believable; in fact
these conditions may be expected in prosperity as well
as under adversity. So far as the national publicity
campaign is concerned this may be slipping, but it is
not dead by any means — that is evidenced by the forma-
tion of the many district organizations of the National
Flower Growers' Association. Local advertising cam-
paigns are being conducted successfully in many cities
and these, without doubt will continue, some, naiturally,
being more successful and longer sustained than others.
The peculiar noticeable feature in all forward move-
ments is that in every case a leader has to make him-
self manifest. Men, apparently, cannot come together
and accomplish results until the leader, the man of de-
termination, the man who will not accept defeat or a
negative result, makes his appearance. With a leader
men go forward to accomplishment and victory, and
so it is that some man or men in every community must
be willing to make the sacrifice of their time and energy
in order to promote the public weal. That there are as
many public-spirited men among our own trade as will
be found in any other is not to be disputed for a mo-
ment, hence we can see no reason to be pessimistic for
the future outlook, rather are we inclined to take an
optimistic and rosy colored view of the days that lie
immediately ahead of us.

Don't Let Them Let Up

Your customers, we mean.

Don't let them get the impression that, because Spring
is here and the leaves are opening and the first outdoor
blossoms of season are appearing, they ought to stop
buying seeds, plants, nursery stock, garden accessories —
or, the cut flower products of the greenhouses.

No business can live on the profits of one or two,
or even three or four, brief, seasonal periods of big
business. These can well represent the "velvet," the
interest on the "preferred stock," as it were, of the
year's trade; but the real stability and financial worth
of any enterprise is measured by its ability to meet its
operating expenses and stow away a little regular profit
from week to week and from month to month all the
year around.

Other industries are realizing the truth of this. The
fertilizer interests, the concrete and other construc-
tional material interests, the coal dealers— all these and
others have, for the last couple of j'ears, been urging a
more even distribution of purchases over a longer
period.

The nursery "Market Development Campaign" had
this result in mind as one of its aims; the National
Publicity Campaign of the S. A. F. has sought to stimu-
late— and to a great extent has stimulated — increased

buying at all seasons of the year. The national ■
trade interests are striving to spread the field seed ;
mand over a longer shipping season.

But while you individual nurserymen, seedsmen, -.
rists and growers can look for a share of the ben h
from such national efforts, you cannot hope for m. -..
mum returns unless you do some intensive work ;
j-our own account. This means reaching out am .■
your local customers, and all the people in your c :'
munity that might be your customers, with a mes; :
urging continued buying and planting activities.

It is largely a matter of care in filling the ground
in handling the plants or seeds, of intelligent choice
materials to fit local requirements and temporary (
ditions, and of adequate after attention in water
spraying and cultivating, that permits an extension
the planting season. Then tell your audience tl
things ; show them how to make their horticultural
forts more productive and more enjoyable; stimu
their interest, their curiosity, their desires and tl
determination; direct these sentiments into the chani
of thought that lead to new business — and then go
and get that new, increased business.

Keep your business buzzing I

Watch the Congress

A reference to "The Week at the Capital," see r
row columns, will enable our readers to observe t
various bills, all more or less affecting the indust:
which we cover, are on the tapis.

Every phase of the horticultural industry has as m
reason to be vitally interested in the doings at
capital as any other industry.

The subject of taxation affects the florist as much
it does the hardware merchant.

Revisions or additions to railroad charges, inter
the florist and allied industries equally as much as tl
do the dry goods manufacturer.

But while the manufacturers as a whole, are, ir
large measure, free from interference by would-be leg
lators, the florist and the allied trades are constantly
butt of some one or more individuals who apparen
believe that horticulture harbors a particularly t
class of people, who can only be held to the path
rectitude by the use of chains and fetters in the fo
of hard and fast laws, administered with utmost rigo

Pure nursery stock is the latest demand, and if C<
gressman Cramton of Michigan has his way, no ni
seryman or florist will be able to ship a plant or a ti
from one State to another without a label guarantee!
trueness to name and a record of its life history.

Just to emphasize the importance of this label, faili
to provide it will ensure a fine of $300, or si-x mont._

To Become a Successful Landscape Architect

A subscriber recently sought advice as to the bt,
procedure for his son to follow in order that he mJE
become successful as a landscape architect.

Our reply was to the effect that the first requisite I
possession of an eye and a taste for natural scerJ
beauty. With these behind him, before seeking a ]
definite training in the landscape line, he would do \vi ■
to obtain one or two years of employment with a goi
high-class nurseryman; even though he had to start
for little money, he might be given in return for his Ic
salary the advantage of making himself generally us
ful, of seeing all that goes on and of not being tii
down to one particular class of work in the nursery.

Feeling sure he possessed all other necessary quail
cations, it would then be time for him to connect wi
a landscape architect under whom he could learn tl
practical details of the profession. Or, better still,
financially able, he might take a landscape course
one of the leading universities or State colleges. Und
all circumstances and from the very beginning he shou
have recourse to the best technical books on the su'
ject. His nights could well be employed in diligent
studying landscape gardening books as well as the scon
of available nurserymen's catalog, many of which a
educational in the e.xtreme. Through the first he woul
acquaint himself with the principles of the art; throug
the second with the material he will be called upon I
use in their application.

The thing he, and every aspiring novice in landscar
work or any other horticultural line, must realize
that today "book learning," practical experience and
combination of the two are equally and absolutely ei
sential to the attainment of the highest success.

A further discussion is requested in these columns!
the matter of the adaptability of the State of Florid
as a suitable locality for the exploitation of seed, bul
and flower growing. Just now there appears to be
pause, but surely so many of our people have visite
Florida that there must be those remaining who hav
observed horticultural conditions and possibilitie
around there and who could be heard from with advan
tage to us all.

'Every Member Get a Member'

Membership Drive Campaign for the
S A. F. and O. H.

m;^-

J. Fred Aniniann, who has been appointed chairman
of the S. A. K. and O. H. memborsliip cuniniittce, has
mailed this office copies of letters which are being sent
to the secretaries of the florists' clubs throughout the
country as well as to the secretaries of atViliating organi-
zations, in which attention is drawn to the drive starting
May 1. for new nieinhers of the Society of American
Florists. The .S. .'V. F. membership committee consists
of J. Fred .\mmaim, chairman, Edwardsville, 111.: S. S.
Pennock. 1(.118 Ludlow St.. Philadelphia, Pa. ; A.L.Miller,
Jamaica, N. Y. ; Paul R. Klingsporn, Chicago, 111.;
Joseph H. Hill, Richmond, Ind.

The makeup of this committee is first class and should
result in hig additions to the national society. The drive
is to begin May 15 and to continue until the opening of
;he convention at Washington, D. C, Aug. 16 next.

The goal set is to "Double the Membership in 90
Days." The slogan is "Every Member Get a Member."
The secretaries of the florists' clubs throughout the
country are requested to immediately move for the ap-
pointment of committees of three members to act as local
committees on membership and to cooperate with the
[national committee in this drive. The secretaries are
[requested to send the names of committees, especially of
the chairmen, immediately after the appointment of same
so that the national committee can get in touch with
each local committee in planning the drive.
. Secretaries of affiliated organizations have been writ-
jten to for a list of the membership of their organiza-
'tions to be used for checking against the membership list
\oi the S. A. F. and O. H. In this case the national
,:ommittee hopes to be able to cooperate with the affiliat-
ng organization in increasing the latter's membership as
ivell as that of the national society, in order that the
president of the affiliated organization may become an
ifRliated director on the board of the S. A. F. and O. H.
hrough his society having a sufficient number of mem-
ijers in the ranks of the S. A. F. and O. H. to warrant
;his.

In passing, it may be stated that provision has been

•nade by the S. A. F. and O. H. to allow the president

;)f even a small local organization (where membership

•is limited or floriculture is not thoroughly developed) to

lecome an affiliated director of the national society.

We have no doubt but that any further data required
vill be supplied with pleasure by J. Fred Ammann, chair-
nan of the national committee, whose address is Ed-
.ardsville. III.

The Function of the
Experiment Station

Introductory remarks, by P. A. Lehenbauer, in
discussion: "What Lines of Experimental Work

Will Be of Greatest Interest to the Florist?"

Ilhnois State Florists' Meeting, March 8, 1921.

> The primary purpose of experimental work in our
l.xperiment station is service. Its aim is to help the
orst in the growing of plants. When difficulties arise,
;hen plants fail to respond as they should, or when
jisease invades the greenhouse and attacks the plants,
jiere is a need of some agency from which information
<in be had. But, it is not only when troubles appear,
liat experiment or research, is necessary. It is prob-
(bly true that the average successful grower does not
iften need help. But, even when his plants are doing
ell, and are producing an average crop of standard
uality, the grower still looks for something better. It
but natural for us to expect something just a little
:tter. We are not content with the old, we want some-
ling new. We hope to do better than we did last
;ar. We want to learn more about our plants, more
pout methods of culture. The grower sees possibili-
J2S of experiment but he has neither time nor available
Jiace. Therefore, he feels the need of a central station
here experiment is the chief aim, where space and
lipment are available for the growing of plants in
■der that he may learn more about them and more
ijout methods of culture. Such is the purpose of our
jcperiment station. It is a place where information is
i'Uected, where methods of culture are tested, where
i:periments are conducted for the control of diseases
hd where the more fundamental principles underlying
,ant growth are determined.

Dcal Problems

This siiggests the several types of work the experi-
ent station is expected to carry on. It must be of help

in those difficulties that are local in character. Each
florist has his own problems peculiar to his locality or
to his own greenhouse. It may be a problem of dis-
ease, a problem of soil, or of water. Whatever the
problem may be, this florist needs advice or help. The
experiment station of his state should be in a position
to give this help. Usually, the station can at once supply
the needed information; frequently, however, informa-
tion or a remedy for the particular trouble is not avail-
able. Let us suppose that a florist in a certain locality
finds his Roses infested with an insect pest. He can
send a specimen of the insect to his experiment station,
have it identified and get definite information conced-
ing its control or eradication. The information which
he receives as to method of control is based upon defi-
nite experimental work which has been done previously.
If no definite method of control of the insect pest is
known, experiment is necessary. The station of course
cannot make a thorough study of each and every local
problem that may arise. But the station should, as a
rule, be able to give sound suggestions, suggestions
which may involve certain efforts on the part of the
grower, but which will result, nevertheless, in a means
of control of the difficulty.

Problems That Affect All Florists

The experiment station, too, should conduct definite
and well planned experimental projects on problems
which are of interest to florists in general. Projects
should not alone deal with local problems, such as are
of interest or of value to a few florists, but they should
deal with problems of value to all. For example, the
control of Carnation stem rot and of Aster wilt, the
effect of the continued use of the same soil for a par-
ticular crop are problems which are State-wide and of
interest to all florists. The kind and amount of fer-
tilizers to use in greenhouse soils is a question every
grower needs enlightenment upon.

Such problems cannot be solved in a day. Reliable
results cannot even be gotten in a year, often not in
several years Long periods of time may be necessary.
Each problem must be considered from all angles and
each phase of the problem must be studied by experi-
ment. This requires time. Nevertheless, the effort is
worth while in the end, for only by means of such long-
continued experiments can we hope to get the informa-
tion we desire.

The Importance of Research

Again, the experiment station should conduct experi-
ments with the view of establishing certain definite
relations and physiological principles underlying plant
growth and response. Let me illustrate by a few con-
crete examples. In growing cuttings, as for instance of
the Rose, we are fairly successful. We meet with suc-
cess because we have learned by experience what tem-
perature, and what moisture conditions, approximately,
to use in order to produce results. However, if we do
not meet with uniform success we are at a loss in know-
ing why we were not more successful. The reason is
that we have but little definite knowledge of the factors
involved in the formation of roots, we know even less
of the correlations between root and shoot growth; our
knowledge of the effects of temperature and moisture
conditions on root development are only approximate.

while the relation between type of cutting and the fu-
ture plant and its production is still far from solution.
Many problems appear to have only an indirect value.
A study of the pnssible effect of the selection of cut-
lings on the production of future plants, for instance,
may appear to be a waste of energy and time; a study
of the influence of carbon dioxide on the growth of
KTeenhouse plants may appear impractical, yet the solu-
tion of such problems establishes facts which are funda-
mental. Pure research is never impractical. The work
of the bacteriologist who studied with his microscope
the little organisms or germs, which wc know as bac-
teria, involved an almost infinite amount of labor.
Yet, who today will say that this work was useless or
impractical? The successful treatment and control of
most of our human ailments is based upon the results
of this work. In a similar way we must continue our
studies of the fundamental principles underlying plant
growth, study the responses of plants to the conditions
of their environment, the fundamental causes of dis-
ease, and the laws of heredity in plants. Research ex-
perimentation must not lag behind, it must always forge
ahead ; it must always be the basis of the best methods
of plant culture.

Exchange readers of English derivation, or those
who remember the charming little play, "Pomander
Walk," of a few seasons back, will be interested to learn
that New York City is to have a Pomander Walk of its
own, in real life. In other words there is to be built
on a tract of land up in the West Side '90s' a little sec-
tion or colony of 28 houses, with front lawns, shrubs,
trees and a general homey parklike atmosphere as much
as possible like the quaint little residential district "out
Chiswick way" from London.

Fountanis, shrubbery, a shaded central street, and pri-
vate flower gardens for each of the two-story, two-
family houses, will be given an added air of privacy
by wrought iron gates at both entrances. If this sort
of development, faithfully carried out, doesn't help pro-
mote a love of flowers and growing things generally
among even the more blase of Gothamites, we'll miss
our guess.

Wherefore, we think florists can congratulate Man-
hattan upon its new project and express the hope that
the future will bring more of the same kind.

A. G. Peterkin

A. G. Peterkin of Glen Ridge, N. J., formerly head
proofreader of The Florists' Exchange, died on Tues-
day, April 19, one week after the passing away of his
wife. He had reached his 70th birthday on Jan. 5
last. Mr. Peterkin was connected with The Exchange
for many years, becoming attached to the A. T. De La
Mare Co. Inc. when it was still in a small way, retiring
about five years ago, on account of a breakdown in his
general health. He was the man responsible in a large
degree for the accuracy with which the advertising was
put through on the paper. He was an expert in his line,
and every one in the office was wont to consult him on
matters of punctuation, spelling, etc. A likable man
and a good man gone to his rest.

Thomas J. Welch

Thomas J. Welch, who had been employed at Galvin's
Park street store for the last 30 years, died after a long
illness on April 5, aged 57 years. He was born in Dor-
chester, Mass., on the once important "Old Tucker Es-
tate," which is now built over with apartment houses,
and where his father had charge of the large garden
establishment. Here young Thomas received his first
instructions in the art of gardening and worked until
he engaged with Jim Rough, an old-time florist in the
South end. He stayed at this place for ten years and
then entered the employ of Thomas F. Galvin, working
there uninterruptedly until near his end. He worked
himself up to his late position of designer from the
bottom, and was for many years considered the best
floral designer in Boston.

Thomas Welch was a man of sterling character,
amiable and well liked and thought well of by all who
came in contact with him. He was one of the fast dis-
appearing old-time florists ; a good companion and
Christian man who will be sadly missed by many a sin-
cere friend. He belonged to the Ancient Order of
United Workmen for the last 25 years. His funeral
took place on April 9, when he was laid to rest in the
Old Dorchester cemete^A^ followed by a great number
of costly floral tributes from his large circle of friends
in the trade and private life.

He was unmarried and leaves a brother and a sister.

Some Hints for Bulb Forcers

"One of the commonest complaints of purchasers of
Freesia bulbs," said my friend the bulb man — who, by
the way, sells as well as raises them — "is that the bulbs
are too small and therefore, presumably, weak. As a
matter of fact quality in Freesia bulbs — and that means
vigor as well as trueness to type, size of blossom, etc. —
is by no means dependent upon their size. Indeed, I have
watched careful, unbiased tests of large and small bulbs
in which the latter have given such distinctly superior
blooms that it has been almost impossible to convince
the growers that a mistake had not been made, or the
labels changed while the plants were developing, or
something.

Facts About the Fastidious Freesia

"The chances are that in most cases where results with
Freesias are unsatisfactory, and where small bulbs are
immediately suggested as the cause, the fact is that,
because the bulbs looked small when they arrived, they
were crowded altogether too thickly into the pots or
pans, which naturally would prevent their best per-
formance. Like certain other plants they need just so
much room in which to attain maximum development,
and what's more, if you fail to provide it they will
promptly retaliate. Not more than ten bulbs or at most
a dozen evenly spaced in a 12in. pot, and not more than
six in a 6in. pot, will give best results, even though for
a time this will look like wastefuUy 'extensive cultiva-
tion' of good space.

"Another thing about Freesias is that, with an almost
human capacity for individuality, certain bulbs will
oftentimes actually go 'on strike' and simply refuse to
grow. This need not be the result of disease, insect
attacks or any other traceable cause. Call it physiologi-
cal idiosyncracy or whatever you like, it is simply a
decision on the part of the bulb to stop growing, which
decision it will obstinately adhere to for a while, no
matter what you do. But, accept the situation, let the
bulb have its rest, set it away till another season — and,
presto, 'it comes up smiling' and, likely as not, will grow
and bloom as vigorously as if it felt remorse at having
caused you inconvenience and wanted to make amends.
Perhaps that is one reason why bulbs interest me so —
because they sometimes exhibit those characters of indi-
viduality and perverseness."

The Policy of Plunging: Your Pots

Our next topic for discussion chanced to be the matter
of keeping potted bulbs and other plants in greenhouse
benches. Here, in the opinion of my companion, the
score is strongly in favor of European methods as com-
pared with those common in this country. "Never do I
recall," he said, "in visiting private or coinmercial green-
houses in England or on the Continent, seeing pots of
Amaryllis, say, set out along bare benches or on the
surface of the soil as you will find them almost every-
where in the United States. Instead the pots, every
one of them, are plunged — buried up to their tops — in
shredded fibre or chopped up moss, or even in the soil
itself. The advantages? Why, they are obvious. In
the first place by surrounding the pots with a moisture-
holding material you check evaporation and simplify
the watering problem while maintaining a more uniform
condition of humidity in the soil inside the pots. In the
second place, when watering is necessary it can be done
quickly and at the same time effectively because there
is less danger of washing the soil out of the pots onto
the benches where it will be lost to the bulb roots, while
whatever water does not fall within the pots is absorbed
and held until needed by the fibre or moss surrounding
them. Then, too, it looks neater to see rows of pots
buried in a smooth mass of peaty material with only
their rims showing. And finally, with all that mass of
potential plant food surrounding each pot, there is a
constant reserve reservoir into which the feeding roots
may explore if they begin to exhaust the food resources
of the pot soil — even as I have seen them, growing
right out over the edge of a pot and spreading through
the soil or rotted fibre without. Just try it, the next
time you have any sort of bulb to grow on, or any other
pot plant, for that matter." — And I'm going to, you may
be sure.

A New Thought as to Narcissus

"Why do we see so many poor Golden Spur Narcissi
along about Christmas time?" was the next question
fired at me. It was, of course, purely a matter of form,
for I was the one to whom the answer meant the most.
"Or rather, why don't we see more good ones?

"One reason is that all too many growers overlook
an important detail of their handling before the forcing
process proper begins. That is simply the matter of
leaving the bulbs outdoors, whether in pots, pans or
what not, as late as possible so that they may make
the last possible bit of root growth and store up the
last ounce of vigor and energy. In the latitude of
New York you will find potfull after potfuU and flat

after flat being brought in during November, even
though with the lightest sort of mulching — and probably
without any at all — they would be perfectly safe until
the first week of December. A week or two at that
time may not seem like much, but it means a lot to the
bulbs that are soon to feel the urge of the indoor
warmth. Bring them in anywhere from the first to the
tenth of December, start them gradually, then bring
them on steadily and with uniform acceleration, and
you will get the sort of blooms that will fill your soul
with satisfaction just as they fill the eye with an impres-
sion of grace and color and just as a blooming Hyacinth
will enrich the atmosphere with fragrance."

Simple enough, isn't it? In fact all three hints have
nothing unusual about them, unless it is that very sim-
plicity which, after all, is all the better reason for tak-
ing them to heart! E. L. D. S.

Wilbur Allen Patten

Wilbur Allen Patten

Wilbur A. Patten, eldest son of Marcellus A. Patten
of Tewksbury, Mass., the well-known Carnation grower
who recently retired from business and who has made
his home in Lakeland, Fla., has been appointed superin-
tendent of the Brooksville Florida Experiment Station
of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction. He passed his
civil service examination for plant propagator some time
ago and will commence his duties May 1. His family
will go South a little later. He is at the present time
at Brooksville, from whence he will visit his father and
mother at their home in Lakeland, Fla. From there he
will go to Miami to visit the experiment station, con-
sulting with Dr. Fairchild of the same department, who
has his Winter home at Cocoanut Grove near Miami.
Mr. Patten will then return to Washington about the
middle of April, to meet the heads of the different de-
partments, and from there he will go home for about
two weeks, before returning to Florida to enter upon
his duties.

Wilbur A. Patten was born Sept. 5, 1879, in Lowell,
Mass. He received his education in the schools of his
native city and after leaving high school and going
through a business college, he spent some years at the
Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst. From
there he entered his father's establishment. In this ex-
tensive and up-to-date establishment he acquired a thor-
ough, practical knowledge of all the details of plant
culture and of the office duties required in a large place.
Wilbur Patten, although not of a retiring disposition,
is rather quiet and his fancy runs to studying books of
a serious character, so much so, that he is considered
a bookworm. He is a pleasant companion, ready and
able to converse upon any worth while subject of the
past or present, be it historj', science, horticulture — in
fact, anything. Therefore he should be eminently well
qualified to fill the responsible position with which he
has been honored.

Carnations

Important Phases of Culture

Taking Cuttings

There is considerable difference of opinion as to the
best time to take cuttings. Some prefer late Fall and
others early Spring. Undoubtedly the January struck
cuttings make the largest plants, but it is not always
possible to get good cuttings. The most essential point
is to keep them growing, for once the young plant gets
hard, it is not easy to induce them to break into growth
again, especially after stopping. But whether early or
late cuttings are used all should be taken before the
end of March or earlier if possible. Root the cuttings
in a sand bed, do not use any sash over them and, if
possible, keep the temperature around 50 deg. to 60 deg.
In seledting the cuttings, care should be used to take
them from the healthiest plants only and from those
with the best shaped flowers. This insures keeping a
good type of the variety and even improves the type.
Short growth cuttings should always be selected, free
side growths make the best. Great care should be taken
in watering. A good watering when first put in should
be given so that the cuttings will not be left hanging.
If possible, use a north side house; failing this, shade
well and the cuttings will be rooted in about sixteen
days. Should one have to shade with paper be sure and
take it off as soon as the sun has passed. If, when
making the cuttings, the day be very bright, sprinkle
cuttings with water as when dry they do not root so
readily. The sand bed should consist of 4in. of sand
and be pounded firm.

After Treatment

When the cuttings have rooted, pot singly into 2in. or
3J^in. pots.^ It is better to rinse off the roots than to
shake it ; this often breaks the tender roots. If not taken
off the sand has a tendency to cause the cutting to decay
after potting. Soil from old Chrysanthemum benches
is useful for this potting. When the pots are filHng
with roots and the young plants are growing well, it is
time to stop them; if they are left too long they will
become hard and not break so easily. When the breaks
are about 2in. long and the pots well filled with roots,
shift to Sin. pots and be careful of stopping. They
should be ready to plant outside by April 17. If they
are to be grown along in pots give them another shift
about this time. To obtain good bushy plants, care
should be taken to keep the growth pinched until the
end of July. Syringing occasionally with a good force
of clear water will keep away red spider and thrips.

Bench Planting

Care should be taken when lifting from the field and
planting in the benches not to let the roots become dry;
shade the houses for a few days with mud so that it
can readily be cleaned off if necessary. An important
feature is planting; most people plant their Carnations
too deeply and by so doing, lose a large percentage
through stem rot. The Carnation is a surface rooting
plant and therefore should have its roots just covered,
not Sin. or 3in. deep. The houses should be kept as
cool as possible and plenty of air given at all times.
Watch the watering at this stage as they have no root
action; at the same time care should be taken not to
let them become dry.

Winter Requirements

Carnations should have air all Winter if possible; let
the temperature be 45 deg. at night and 50 deg. to 55 deg.
during the day. Disbudding has to be done, so do it in
the early stages to help develop the flowers. When side
buds are allowed to remain too long it lessens the value
of the bloom and also has a tendency to weaken the
stem, just the same as with the Chrysanthemum. One
of the chief things is to keep the plants clean by fumi-
gating and syringing; don't wait until the pests come;
do it every once in awhile before they appear. Do not
feed the Carnations until they are able to take it and
always before feeding use clear water if the soil is at
all dry. J. F. P.

{Concluded from pni;c 9t)'J)

appreciation throuRlioiit all the country and its citizens.
This means education presented in suRar-eoatcd or other-

advice as well as plants dug out of the nursery row.

E. L. D. Seymour.

Start Your Cultivators Early

Nurscrnien can well take a page out of the book of
their first cousins the fruit growers, and start their nur-
sery cultivation earlier in the season. .\s is generally
known, the "clean cultivation" method of growing fruit
consists of turning under the Winter cover crop as soon
as the ground is fit to be worked in the Spring, and then
keeping the soil loose by frequent cultivations until time
to seed another green manure crop in July or August.
Now the early Spring is, as all realize, one of the
busiest times in the nursery, a time when not even a
single man can easily be spared from the divers jobs of
digging, sorting, packing and shipping to look after the
apparently profitless task of stirring the soil. Yet the
detailing of a force to do that very thing may easily
prove to be a mighty profitable investment. 'Cos why?
as the Cockney said — Because the first quick jump of
growth in the Spring is what counts in making vigorous,
sturdy, handsome, valuable plants ; and a loose, friable
soil is one of the conditions most conducive to such
growth. In many places, especially if the spaces between
the nursery rows have been kept clear of weeds, etc., the
previous Summer, the Spring rains and the warm, drying
winds that often succeed them soon tend to pack, bake
and dry out the soil so as to severely hinder the progress
of plants growing in it. On such land, even though it
be broken up in June or thereabouts and kept harrowed
thereafter, shrubs and trees are likely to e.xhibit a dis-
tinctly droopy, unthrifty look in Midsummer — a look that
invariably accompanies slow, unthrifty growth.

. Find time, then, or make it, to loosen the soil in the
nursery early and keep it loose throughout the important
Spring growing period. Cultivation, as an old agricul-
tural saying has it, is one of the best of fertilizers.
Moreover, it conserves moisture at a time when it is
important to store it up against future possible droughts.
In both respects, then, it means bigger, better plants, and
these in turn mean better orders, bigger profits and

I greater satisfaction all around. E. L. D. S.

Alabama Nurserymen Affected by Quarantine

By the regulations of Quarantine No. SO as promul-
gated by the Secretary of Agriculture, to become effec-
itive May 1, 1921, the shipment of nursery stock out of
; a, certain designated area in Alabama, known to be in-
: tested with the Mexican Bean beetle, is prohibited, unless
isuch stock "shall have been so treated by fumigation or
otherwise as to destroy the Mexican Bean beetle in any
; stage or in hibernation, under the supervision of a duly
; qualified inspector appointed by State or Federal authori-
ties."

Southern nurserymen are doubtless familiar with the
boundary lines of the area referred to, which was desig-
nated in a quarantine proclamation dated Nov. 20, 1920;
if not, they should secure a copy of the present Quar-
antine No. 50 and ascertain whether or not their estab-
llishments come under the ban.

1 Ginkgos as Street Trees

'Editor The Florists' Exchange:

Aiient your note in issue of April 9, in which Com-.
:missioner Gallatin of New York is reported as intend-
:ing to plant Ginkgo trees along Broadway, it may in-
terest admirers of this tree and students in city forestry
to know that 70 of these trees, 3in. in diameter, have
iust been planted on the sidewalks of Washington
Square, in Philadelphia. Openings were made 5ft.x4ft.
in the flagwalk and new soil furnished to a depth of
!ft. These trees are expected to flourish under the treat-
i.-nent accorded in planting, despite the fact that they
n'ill experience typical city vicissitudes. Washington
square, which adjoins Independence Hall, is one of the
jrigmal squares laid out by William Penn and, as nearly
ill the old sidewalk trees have disappeared, this new
olanting will provide a green border and help in mak-
;ng what Penn decreed a "greene county towns."

Roman J. and Mrs. Irwin just before taking to the Air

The picture was taken April 3 last at the starting point of the Curtis
field, Atlantic City, N. J. Mr. Irwin tells us they were up for fifteen
minutes and both enjoyed the trip immensely, covering about twenty
miles over the water and feeling just as safe as through they were in
an automobile.

New York Flower Show at St. Louis

Next to the real thing, a pictorial representation of a
flower show is calculated to do good service from a pub-
licity viewpoint, and this idea no doubt actuated G. H.
Pring, horticulturist to the Missouri Botanical Garden,
Mo., when, during his visit to the New York flower
show last month, he arranged for a complete set of col-
ored lantern slides to be made.

These slides were shown for the first time at the re-
cent meeting of the St. Louis Florists Club. The at-
tendance was unusually large and everyone was delighted
to have the opportunity of seeing the great show through
the medium of the screen.

J. F. Ammann, who was present, declared that the
illustrated address by Mr. Pring was a great boost for
publicity, and he considered that the set of slides would
do invaluable service if it were possible to send them
around for similar use by the various florists clubs
throughout the country. He thought the organizers of
the show might well have considered the possibilities of
such a set of slides for propaganda work.

A few days ago, one of our leading financial agencies
gave out the information that of all the failures reported
in 1930, 84 per cent were of firms which did not adver-
tise. This statement appeared twice in our issue of Jan.
33. We insert it herewith, for the third time, with the
desire that it will sink deeply into the minds of the rank
and file of our florists, nurserymen and seedsmen. Of
these three horticultural divisions, the seedsmen occupy
the most prominent position throughout the country as
advertisers. The larger nurserymen, those who issue
catalogs, probably come next. Florists, we regret to
say, come third and last, ahhough there are some promi-
nent exceptions among them — men who understand full
well the value of advertising. We are speaking, of
course, of advertising publicity outside the trade.

Comparatively few of our florists fail in business and
so they hardly come within the scope of the 84 per cent
of failures of firms not advertising. In the same cate-
gory are the Apple growers of New York State who
were recently addressed by Geo. A. Cullen, vice-president
of the North American Fruit Exchange, also vice-
president of the Lackawanna Railroad. Mr. Cullen said
this to them: "You Apple growers sitting before me
furnish one of the most striking examples in this country

of intelligent men failing to make use of the one thing
that could turn disaster into success. ♦ * * Western fruit
growers have successfully marketed crops in the East
simply because they have advertised nationally, while the
.■\pples of New York State were rotting in the orchards
simply for lack of publicity. No better Apples are
grown than right in the State of New York, yet for
lack of publicity, note the results." Mr. Cullen also
said that the New York State farmers apparently tried
to keep secret the fact that they produce the finest of
seed Potatoes and Maple syrup. Rather bitter sarcasm,
this.

Hasten the day when the Society of American Flo-
rists can again resume its publicity campaign with an
annual fund of at least $100,000 behind it wherewith to
spread the slogan of "Say it with Flowers." Mr. Cullen
blamed the troubles of the farmer entirely on lack of
organization. This cannot be said of our own people,
liccause we have National, State and local organizations
almost in superabundance. What we do lack is cohesion
and cooperative effort At present, through the efforts
being made broadcast throughout the country, we are
coming nearer and nearer to the cooperative advertising
idea, but much remains to be done. In this connection,
the result of tl\e various meetings organizations of "dis-
tricts" Nat'l Flower growers, all of which will bear
largely upon the advertising problem, will be watched
with interest by the trade at large.

Irises From California

Just as we are going to press, a parcel post pack-
age arrives from the Brown Bulb Ranch, Capitola,
Santa Cruz Co., Calif. In it were some two dozen
spikes of white, yellow and violet and white Spanish
Iris in varying stages of development. These flowers
were cut on or around April 13 arriving on the 20th.
Beyond damp paper around the base of the stems, and
tissue around the buds, no other effort had been made to
keep them fresh.

Within an hour of placing in water, many of the
flowers were fully developed, while the remainder give
evidence of rapid expansion. Considering the period
that has elapsed since cutting, these blooms are a tribute
to the wonderful keeping and traveling qualities of the
Spanish Iris when cut in the bud state. It may be men-
tioned that vast quantities of Spanish Iris are grown
and shipped over long distances in Europe, always in
the bud state, but the fact that the buds will travel, some
3500 miles under ordinary mailing conditions, and that
there may be a possibility of a regular supply , for flo-
rists' use, makes it specially interesting. Judging by the
five quality, the Brown Bulb Ranch is well suited to Iris
culture, and quantities of bulbs may be available in the
near future.

Flower Shows as Trade Stimulators

' Southern Florist honors us by reproducing practically
the whole of our editorial bearing the caption, "Let the
Public Pay for Your Advertising," as it appeared on
page 803, April 3. Our contemporary fully recognizes
the benefits that would accrue to the trade in general if
every city held an annual flower show, and expresses its
views thus : "This dissemination of the love of flowers,
and the love of their care and cultivation by private
individuals, must necessarily tend to increase the de-
mand for commercially raised flowers in the months and
years to come."

The B. and B. Idea

In our wide measure columns will be found an article
of extreme interest to nurserymen particularly. It
should also be of value to many florists as well. The
title of the article is as above. As to its practicability
there cannot be much doubt — and as to its value, well,
one_ gentleman to whom we showed a basket and ex-
plained the idea, made the immediate remark that its
general use should increase sales of shrubs in their
season fourfold. Worth looking into, isn't it?

can supply the information :

but who collects them or it as a commercial speculation,
and what uses can they or it be put to?

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Pennsylvania Potato Trials

Some of our Potato raisers are apt to
imagine that home raised varieties are
not only better for home planting condi-
tions, but likewise superior to anything
ever raised elsewhere. Indeed, we have
been led to believe, not only by raisers,
but also by some of the experimental
people, that European varieties are in-
ferior to those we are accustomed to
plant. We are, therefore, inclined to
doubt statements to the effect that some
of the English and German growers have
dug twenty or more tons to the acre.
Twenty long tons means a mere trifle of
746 bushels of 601bs. With a_ view to
trying out the immunity of certain British
sorts against wart disease, the Pennsyl-
vania Bureau of Plant Industry planted a
number and the American Potato Maga-
zine in publishing the results, remarks,
"Although the European varieties have
had a poor reputation in this country, it
must be said that the growth and yield
of most of these Potatoes were excellent
and compared very favorably with na-
tive stocks."

The following table is as it appeared.

To this writer, the results from Golden
Wonder are the most surprising. In
Europe it is recognized as the finest qual-
ity Potato, but a shy cropper on most
soils. Evidently Pennsylvania suits It.

Raising RKododendrons

The reference to seedling Rhododen-
drons as raised at the Hicks Nurseries,
on page 852 prompts one to wonder
whether they are native seedlings or from
named varieties or hybrids. A well trav-
eled gentleman writing to The Gardeners
Chronicle, tenders a kick toward those
breeders who have moulded Rhododen-
drons into a type so that all look as if
clipped. Having traveled Asia, the writer
says that the five pairs of rabbits that
can produce a million descendants in five
years could not compare with what the
hybridist can accomplish with Rhododen-
drons. In Eastern Asia during the past
ten years at least 250 new species have
been discovered. The seedlings of these
have not all been flowered, but the fact
that all these new forms, plus all the older
ones are or will be available for crossing
sooner or later makes one wonder whether
it is much use anyone working up big
stocks of old standard sorts. In the Far
East, the Rhododendrons are so varied
that they range from .Sm t-^ ^^f^H. and, ac-
cording to our traveler, some of these
new forms will beat the hybrid into a
"cocked bat." Two species he mentions,
namely Kyawi and Agapetum, which far
surpass any scarlet hybrid yet raised.
"It is," he says, "no excuse to say that
these are new importations; they have
been waiting to be discovered for a
thousand years." Concluding he says,
"Would that only a little of energy and
money which has been expended in the
past on the production of hybrids had
been guided into the channel of further
botanical exploration." In the meantime
the American plant himter is not given a
chance to go ahunting.

Bulb Sterilizmff

It is interesting to note that the bulb
sterilizing apparatus is now an article of
commerce in England. The Hearson Ther-
mostatic Bath, designed on the lines sug-
gested by J. K. Kamsbottom is being made
in all sizes to hiold from a few pounds to
1681bs. The approximate cost of treating

a long ton of bulbs in England is about
$4. Tests have proved that it is unwise
to treat larger quantities at one time,
owing to the absolute need for keeping the
temperature even.

Window Boxes

At the recent show, the City Garden
Club was devoting a lot of energy toward
the encouragement of window box plant-
ing, but I have been wondering whether
the window box idea is for those who
reside in small, one family dwellings
or for all, whether they live on the sixth
floor in the avenues or streets, uptown
or downtown . Seems to me those good
folk whose windows are but a few feet
from the elevated railroads, haven't much
chance to cut a dash with window boxes.
It might, too, encourage the L trains to
tarry as they do on certain other lines
in order to give the passengers a chance
to pick flowers by the wayside. Then,
too, the institution of window boxes on
the upper floors might cause some dis-
turbance. Mrs. Finnegan, below, might
become annoyed if, when she leaned out
on the sill to talk with her neighbor,
she got a douche of dirty water from the
window box up above or, it might happen
that her chocolate ice cake whi ch she
stood on the sill to cool would become
sprinkled with soil or hairy caterpillars
when Mrs. Malaprop was busy up above
with her flower garden.

Still, for all that, a window box might
prove very serviceable at times. Mrs.
O'Hara might have a desire to tell her
husband what she thought of him when
he slips out to have a game of snooker.
Time might not permit her to put in
words, so all she need do would be to
drop the window box on his "napper" as
he reached the street. True, it might re-
sult in a hospital job, but she'd be fol-
lowing the fashion by "Saying it with
Flowers."

Say it with Flour

This reminds me that one of the Re-
lief Committees for starving Europe has
twisted the florists' slogan to suit its own
purpose. In various stores one may see
an elaborately gotten up card bearing the
above caption. The notion is no doubt
a good one, but I might say that I have
known some folk to say it with flour with
undue emphasis. On one occasion, a
street politician was greeted with a bag-
full, and before he got his wind it was
followed by a bag of soot. As his poli-
tics and my own didn't agree, I was rude
enough to join in the laugh.

How Is It Done?

Horticultural competition by the de-
partment stores is always a bone of con-
tention among members of the trade, but
the fact that these stores are able to ob-
tain supplies seems to suggest that some-
one is always ready to provide the goods.

We have been under the impression
that nursery stock is not over abundant,
but when big New York stores can offer
three-year-old fruit trees at 95c., various
shrubs at 57c., Roses at 40c. and ever-
greens at equally moderate rates one gets
the notion that something is wrong
somewhere.

Club Meeting

Growers' Night at the Toronto Re-
tail Florists Club, on Aiiril 11, brought
out a goodly crowd. President McFadden
presided, and among the guests were J.

Cooper, T. G. Davis and W. A. Beaty of
the Dale Estate, Brampton; Walter
Muston, Davisville; F. K. Prouse, Bramp-
ton; Carl Marks, Lampton Mills; Jos.
Weis of Miller Bros.; Harold Mills and
Mr. Hooley of Richmond Hill; William
Skilliter of Dunlop's wholesale; Robert
Lawrence and Mr. Hammett.

Telling Facts

The feature of the evening was an
excellent paper by J. Cooper on the diffi-
culties and cost of growing flowers. He
congratulated the club upon its accom-
plishments, and hoped it would continue
its usefulness, binding the retailers to-
gether for the promotion of their busi-
ness.

He had just become of age in the flower
business, having completed his 21st year
with the Dale Estate at Brampton, and
would therefore refer to his experiences
during those years.

Among the difficulties he referred to
was the shortage of Roses this week, due
to the extreme heat of last week, which
brought on the Roses very quickly, mak-
ing a feast and then a famine. The warm
Winter made it hard to gauge the blos-
soming, with the result that instead of
having 35,000 American Beauty, as they
had for Easter last year, they bloomed
ten days too late.

Among the pleasant things to remember
is the international reputation enjoyed
by Canadian Roses, orchids and Lily of
the Valley.

Mr. Cooper gave some instructive fig-
ures as to the cost of labor and fuel:

In 1900 assistant growers were paid 9c.
to 10c. per hour: growers, 14c. to 16e. per
hour; common labor, 12c. per hour. In
1920 assistant growers were paid 45c. to
48c. per hour; growers, 55c. to 60c. per
hour; common labor, 50c. per hour.

Between 1900 and 1910 wages increased
33 per cent. Between 1910 and 1920
wages increased 125 per cent, and the
efficiency of the workers was much less.

In 1900 coal cost $1 per ton. In 1910
coal cost §3 per ton. In 1920 coal cost
$12 per ton.

Between 1910 and 1920 fertilizers in-
creased in cost from 300 to 400 per cent.
In 1905 Manetti, for Rose grafting, cost
SIO per 1000. In 1920 it cost $70 in
Canada. Other items showed similar
largely increased cost.

Mr. Cooper then reviewed the prices
received for flowers:

Between 1900 and 1910 the quotations
show an increase of about one-third,
while between 1910 and 1920 the increase
is about 200 per cent.

The Roses have been greatly improved
during the past few years, but are not
nearly as prolific as Killamey.

From 1900 to 1910 Carnations showed
an increase of 250 per cent, while from
1910 to 1920 the increase was 100 per
cent. Carnations never brought a paying
price until now. Many growers were
forced to give up growing them because
they did not pay in the past.

In Oct., 1920, Violets sold for less than
in 1910, but taking the year as a whole,
Violets made more in 1920.

Prices have not advanced in the same
proportion as costs, but costs have been
offset by savings made in other direc-
tions. He instanced the power plant,
which greatly reduced the cost of heating
the greenhouses. In February and March
the saving in labor alone was $250 per
week.

President McFadden congratulated Mr.
Cooper for placing before them so lucidly
the situation regarding the increased cost
of growing flowers. It would help greatly
in explaining the rising prices of flowers
to customers.

TallE on Rose Culture

Walter Muston excused himself for
not having a speech prepared; he had
been attending the christening of his
grandson. Mr. Muston is popular with
the club, and his excuse was accepted to
the tune of "What's the Matter with
Grandpa; He's All Right."

Mr. Muston referred to the difficulties
in growing Roses. There were only cer-
tain places in Canada where Roses coiild
be grown. The papers gave a lot of in-
formation on Rose culture, but often it
wasn't applicable to our conditions, which
varied greatly from those around Phila-
delphia, for instance. In very cold wea-
ther, no matter how warm the green-
houses, the Roses did not mature as fast
as in warmer weather.

Harold Mills and Mr. Hooley of Rich-
mond Hill congratulated the speakers on
their excellent addresses.

A $1,000,000 Outfit

Joe Weis made a very important
announcement regarding the development
of Miller Bros. He had expected that
Ed. Miller would attend, but he was now
in the hospital, where he underwent a
serious operation last week. The green-
houses of Miller Bros, are in the midst
of a thickly populated district on the
edge of the city. It is realized that this
large area is needed for houses, and will
be absorbed by the city before very long.

To guard against this. Miller Bros, have
taken out a charter, with a capitalization
of §1,000,000, and will erect a new plant
immediately covering 20 acres. Mr. Weis
did not give the location of the new plant,
but it is understood that it will be at
King, north of Toronto. Mr. Weis stated
that it would be ready in time to supply
flowers next Christmas.

Fred Miller has been visiting Philadel-
phia, New York and other centers, seek-
ing information for the new plant. It is
also their intention to enter the supply .
business. Ed. Miller will leave for France
and Switzerland at an early date, in con-
nection with this end of the business.

Henry Verheughe, of H. G. Dillemuth's,
was elected a member.

There was a musical program with
community singing. Mr. Orpen presided
at the piano.

Supper was served in the dining hall,
adjacent to the club rooms.

Canada at Large

Although the warm weather has
been affecting stock, the Dale Estate of
Brampton will have a good selection for
Mother's Day, including American Beauty
Roses, Darwia Tulips, etc.

The regular meeting of the Hamilton
Gardeners and Florists Association met
on April 4, when W. H. Gray spoke on
the relationship between grower and re-
tailer. Miss McMeekin, Ed. J. Gale and
W. E. Groves were appointed a commit-
tee to look after Mother's Day adver-
tising.

_W. E. Groves, president of the Cana-
dian Florists and Gardeners Association
will address the Hamilton Chamber of
■ Commerce in connection with the May
cleanup week.

H. J. Moore, who has made a name in
flower culture, has been in demand re-
cently addressing Chambers of Commerce
at various centers in Ontario, advising
them on civic beautification.

The annual flower show at Agincourt
was held on April 11. T. D. Dockray of
Toronto was judge. Miss Mary Yates,
president of the Ontario Horticultural
Society, delivered an address. She stated
that all the societies will be asked to ex-
hibit flowers at the Canadian National
Exhibition at Toronto this Fall, and make
it the finest horticultural exhibition ever
held in the Dominion.

The Montreal Gardeners and Florists
Club held its regular meeting on April 4.
T. Hill was appointed first vice-president,
and B. Scott assistant secretary. B. Scott
read a paper on the culture of Calceo-
larias. At an early meeting J. McKenna
will read a paper on culture and forcing
of bulbs.

Major Connon is chairman of the
'Taint Up, Clean Up Campaign" to be
held in Hamilton in May.

Ley & McAlIan, Ltd., of Montreal have
been incorporated with a capital of $10,-
000 by G. H. McAllan of Westmount,
Charles Ley of Montreal, Charles Wilson
of Pointe Clare and others, to purchase
the business of Ley Florist Registered,
to deal in flowers, plants, shrubs, seed,
bulbs, pots, baskets, etc., and to estab-
lish greenhouses.

Major Connon of Hamilton is on a
committee of the Hamilton Chamber of
Commerce, which will endeavor to inter-
est the people of that city in street and
home beautification.

The Blue Bird Florist of Bleury st.,
Montreal, has reopened under new man-
agement.

Clarence Price, Hamilton, has joined
the F. T. D.

It is reported that the aggregate weight
of express parcels sent out by J. Gam-
mage & Sons, Ltd., London, was 39,800
lbs.

C. C. Eidt of this year's graduating
class of the Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph, has accepted a position on the
staff of the Horticultural Department. He
will take up the work at the conclusion
of the session about June 1. He has been

The Market

April 19. — On Saturday of last
week there was a fairly active demand
for cut flowers, both staple and miscella-
neous and on Monday of this week^ this
demand Avas continued, though the volimie
was somewhat less, but today, Tuesday,
sales are slow. The fact, however, that the
arrivals have been considerably curtailed
compensates in a way for the falling off
in the demand and keeps the market in
better balance.

American Beauty Roses are in increas-
ing supply and the demand is quite mod-
erate. Special grade blooms are bring-
ing 25c. to 60c. each and the other grades
proportionate prices. Another red Rose,
an old timer, namely Ulrich Brunner, has
been coming into the market for several
days and special grade blooms of this
are bringing about 20c. each. Top grade
blooms of other Roses are selling at 5c. to
20c. each in general, but Hadley and Cru-
sader are realizing 25c. and Key 40c.
Prices on No. 2 grade Roses are a little
higher and firmer, namely %2 to $4 per
100, in most cases $4.

The supply of Carnations is somewhat
less and prices higher and firmer; select
grade blooms are selling at §4 to $6 per
100 and ordinaries at $2 to $3.

As regards Cattleyas, the supply, de-
mand and prices remain about the same,
namely 30c. to $1 each. Gardenias,
though still in large supply, are command-
ing just a little better price, namely 50c.
to $3 per doz. Lily of the Valley is
meeting with a somewhat stronger de-
mand and the top grades are selling at
§8 to §10 per 100 and bottom grade at
about §2. There is also now arriving some
outdoor Valley which is bringing about
?6 a 100 for the top grade blooms. Lilies
are in medium large supplv and going
slowly at SS to §12 a 100, with an asking
price for extra choice blooms of S15 per
100.

The arrivals of bulbous flowers include
Callas in fairly large numbers which are
moving out slowly at $1 to $2 per doz.;
Daffodils, which are mostly rather weak
in the stem, selling at 25c. to 50c. a
bunch, and a few Tulips.

Of the miscellaneous flowers now in sup-
ply, there is a limited quantity of Del-
phiniimi of excellent quality. Antirrhinum
in somewhat smaller supply than last
week, an abundance of yellow Daisies, out-
door Lilac, Mignonette, Myosotis, Pansies,
a few Peonies, Stocks, Sweet Peas and
Violets, all of which are meeting with a
moderate demand at quoted prices.

Of the indoor grown greens, Smilas is In
short supply and is bringing S3 to §5 a
doz. strings. The supply of all other in-
door grown and hardy greens is ade-
quate to meet the requirements and prices
remain practically unchanged.

Daylight Saving

The daylight saving ordinance of
New York City will go into effect on Sun-
day, April 24, at which time the clocks
will be advanced one hour. This change
will, we assume, have to be observed by
all people coming to business in New
York City from other towns.

S. A. F. Membership Drive

As was announced at the recent
meeting of the N. Y. Florists Club, A. L.
Miller, who forms one of the special S.
A. F. committee appointed by President
T. Roland, will also act as chairman of
the local (New York Florists Club) com-
mittee which will operate on behalf of the
S. A. F. drive for membership. Chairman

Miller, who is forming his own local com-
mittee, will be pleased to hear from any
prospective S. A. F. member.
News Notes

Although established less than two,
years, the Narrows Nursery Co., Inc., of
First ave. and Ninety-second St., Brook-
lyn, has become a prominent feature in
the floral and nursery field of Brooklyn.
Increased facilities have been added to
the already extensive nursery and green-
houses and an unusually busy year is
anticipated.

Vaseleos Denezos, who transacted a re-
tail flower business under the name of
"Victoria Florist," at 66 Springfield ave.
and 34 Park pi., Newark, N. J., has not
returned from St. Louis, whither he said
that he was going when he left Newark,
April 2. Bankruptcy proceedings have
been instituted against him by some of
his nimierous creditors. An investigation
of his affairs does not disclose any addi-
tion to the small assets previously re-
ported, but on the other hand the list of
his creditors, especially among the grow-
ers, has increased. His liabilities to his
individual creditors range from a few
hundred up to several thousand dollars.
The aggregate liabilities appear now to be
about the sxun which we mentioned in our
last week's notes, namely, §20,000.

Calling on S. S. Pennock Co. this week,
we saw some fine outdoor grown white
Lilac, the first worthy of mention which
we have noted this season. The varieties
were Marie Lemoine and Casimir Perier.
At the store of this same company we
saw the first Peonies of the season, as
far as we have observed. These were
from the South, and the varieties were
Festiva Maxima, Mme. de Verneville
and Messonier.

A, L. Miller, ex-president of the S. A.
F., was a caller at the administration
headquarters of the S. A. F., on Tuesday
of this week, to confer with Secretary
John Yoimg on ways and means looking
toward the doubling of the membership
of the S. A. F. before the next S. A. F.
convention.

We noted this week at Charles Futter-
man's some extraordinarily fine Delphini-
lun Belladonna and outdoor grown Lily of
the Valley of excellent quality, the first
observed this season.

Among the callers in town this week
were Mrs. S. C. Martin, representing the
Coombs Flower Shoppe, 978 Chapel St.,
New Haven, Conn.; W. H. DeGraff, Ley-
den, Holland; Major Patrick O'Keefe,
Boston, Mass.

A. M. Henshaw, Ghairman A. F. A. of

N. Y., Makes a Statement and a

Stirring Appeal for Funds for

Local Advertising

A. S. Nash, secretary of the A. F. A. of
N. Y., has distributed to all wholesale
houses a poster in both English and Greek,
explaining the action to take effect on
May 1, when there will be added to all
statements to retail florists one-half of
one per cent. Retailers should all wel-
come this opportunity to contribute their
fair share toward the advertising cam-
paign. It is hoped that the participation
of the retailers will encourage those
growers who have hesitated about paying
in their assessments to hesitate no longer;
with the growers in 100 per cent, and
the fund to be derived from the retailers'
percentage, it will be possible to carry out
a real advertising campaign with weekly
ijisertions and special ads for holidays or
dull periods.

A retailer recently asked : "What is
your allied organization going to do about
the price of Carnations for Mother's
Day?" To date our organization is not
sufficiently allied to do anything. We
lose an opportunity right here to make
Mother's Day second only to Easter, and
to put our trade right in the eyes of the
public. It will be remembered that last
year the front pages of several N. Y.
dailies called us profiteers and robbers.

and somebody who wanted to honor
Mother in 1919 wailed about paying a
dollar for a Carnation — several protests
were registered to editors. Mr. Young
for the S. A. F. and the N. Y. Florists
Club had it out with one editor, and
proved the report was a libel; but we
got no retraction of the statement in the
offending papers, and New York editors
and advertising managers know not the
New York fiorists. They, alone, of the
big city's merchants, were not advertisers
then. We are now, if only in a modest
way, and as a result the papers recently
are saying nicer things about us, and giv-
ing us helpful press notices, and yet some
of our craft, retailers and growers, doubt
that advertising pays.

Those doubters can only be urged to
try it. Be sports; let us have your small
assessments. "Many mickles make a
muckle," as the Scotchman says. The
amount asked for on the basis being
tried out is ridiculously small, but, all
contributing, a fund will be raised which
will put flowers where they belong — more
boxes of flowers will oe seen in the hands
of the home going hubbies, and less boxes
of candy — and the florist's telephone
number will be hung on my lady's desk
with the butcher's and the grocer's and
the confectioner's. Money talks; let ua
have a little from every florist in Greater
New York and contributing territory to
talk with the ten million and more people
who do or do not buy your flowers — and
we will prove conclusively that advertis-
ing pays.

The list of growers who have not yet
contributed is a long one. District lead-
ers, get busy, spare a few hours and get
around to see your neighbors. Your
money is in and being spent; be fair to
it and to yourselves, and get the support
we need. Growers who have been too
busy to take part or to keep posted on
our work, see your district leader for in-
formation, or what is of less trouble to
you, send in your check, §2 per 1000 sq.
ft. of ground space covered with glass, is
all that is asked — you only divert that
money temporarily. The public pays
the bill and pays it vrith tremendous in-
terest, but you must start the movement.

Don't forget the recently formed ''N. Y.
Growers Association," beginning with 43
members on Feb. 11; join up and make it
400. The officers are: F. R. Pierson,
president; F. H. Traendly, treasurer; A.
M. Henshaw, secretary.

The Market

April 18. — The past week found a
much improved market. The cooler
weather at the beginning of the week kept
production down and receipts were much
smaller. No fancy prices were realized;
still rates were more steady and all good
stock cleaned up. At the present writing,
there is another cold spell with us, with a
freezing temperature, and it looks as if
the fruit that escaped the last cold
weather will get caught this time.

Beauty Roses are scarce, but the ■
mand is light and it is only whei
special order comes in that they sell
all.

The quality of the Roses is of the 1
and the varieties include Premier,
lumbia. Pilgrim, Butterfly, Ophelia, S I
burst, Richmond, Pink and White I !
larney, Hilda, Maryland and Ward.

Carnation receipts are smaller i
quality better, with the result that
growers returns will be double what t!
were the previous week. i

The supply of Easter Lilies has bi
small and Callas are meeting with fc
ter demand than they had for some tii i

Snapdragon is in heavy supply and
good property. They are available
piiLk, yellow, bronze and white, and t
quality is excellent.

The demand for Lily of the Valley t
been good, as there has been a large nu
ber of April weddings this year. Jt i
quils and Tulips move slowly; Sweet Pe ,
have improved somewhat, and may ht t
out for some time. .

Although Mother's Day is away off, i I
quiries are beginning to come in aa I
the outlook for stock for that day. Mo
of the growers report that xmless tl
weather stays cool for at least ten daj
stock i;\nll be scarce.

The Market

_ April 18. — There has been a grad-
ual unprovement in market conditions
since the last report. Every day showed
an improvement over the preceding one
until by the end of the week, the market
got on a more even basis as regards sup-
ply and demand, than it has been for
some time. This was brought about by a
period of cold, cloudy weather that short-
ened the production end, more than by
any great increase in the demand. The
market for the present week had a favor-
able opening Monday. There was a lively
demand; the shipping trade being particu-
larly good, and there was no more stock
than could be handled to an advantage.
Prices also advanced to a point that
should be highly satisfactory to the grow-
ers, who will not be likely to experience
again, the great sacrifice of the week
before, a memorable one in market an-
nals. In Eoses, Carnations and bulb-
I ous stock, the high mark of the Spring
I crops passed with the week mentioned, so
I that not until the zenith of the Summer
I flowering crops appear, will there be any-
thing approaching an oversupply.

The prospects for Mother's Day are en-
couraging; it is believed, despite certain
agencies at work to discourage the demand
for flowers, it will be as good as on
former years, possibly better. There is
an old saying that "Every knock is a
boost," and the florists will pass triumph-
antly through the occasion regardless of
the petty opposition that is being directed
against them. The present Rose supply
is ample and the quality appears to be
holding up well; Columbia, Premier and
Mrs. Russell are leaders in point of de-
mand. The Carnation supply has short-
ened to a point where good stock is
bringing from $4 to $6 per 100 with $8
for Laddie and other fancy varieties.

Bulb stock so far as the greenhouse
crops are concerned, may be said to have
run their course for the season. There
will be outdoor stock on the market for
some time in Darwin and other late flow-
ering Tulips, probably up to Memorial
Day; also Narcissus Poeticus from points
north of Chicago. The big crops, how-
ever, from Texas and Mississippi have
passed; these are generally referred to
as Southern stock. From the viewpoint
of Chicago, Southern stock is rather in-
definite, as any stock coming from any
point from here to the Gulf of Mexico,
might be so called. There is, however,
much stock coming from the Southern
portion of the State, from points in Mis-
souri and Tennessee that comes in after
the socalled Southern stock is gone.

Reports from the Peony growers are to
the effect that the crops have come through
the cold wave unscathed and that some
crops will be in for Mother's Day.

There is an abundance of Callas as
well as Easter Lilies; also plenty of Cat-
tleyas and Valley. The most notable item
on the market are the fine Snapdragons
that have recently commenced as a nov-
elty or something apart from the general
lines of stock offered all the Winter; they
are in good demand. There is some good
Candytuft and Ten-Week Stock. Yel-
low Daisies, Pansies, Larkspur and many
other items in Spring stock are offered
in small lots by several of the houses.
Huckleberry foliage is offered as a decora-
tive green at $1 a bunch. The supply of
fancy ferns in storage is gradually getting
less as the season advances, and price
has been advanced to $4.50 per 1000. The
first of the Viburnums or Snowballs as
well as outdoor Lilac are freely offered.

There is still some trouble, or rather
delays in getting stock to out of the city
buyers in sections where daylight sav-
ing is not observed. Orders come in
sometimes after the stores close for the
day; these cannot be delivered until next
morning.
Wholesalers Meet

There was a meeting of the Chicago
Wholesale Cat Flower Association with
luncheon at the Randolph Hotel last
Thursday, which later met with the Allied
Florists. Matters as how to finance the
florist exhibition at the Pageant of Pro-
gress exposition was the prime topic of
discussion. The Commercial Flower
Growers will hold their regular monthly
meeting on Thursday, the 21st, at the
Randolph Hotel, when a joint meeting of

all the executives of the various bodies is
scheduled for Friday, April 22. Definite
and final action will then be taken.
News Items

Kreitling's Flower Shop, 77 E. Van
Buren st., got considerable free advertis-
ing Saturday when Mrs. Louise Hoyt was
blown through the plate glass window of
the store during the worst Spring storm
of snow and sleet in the history of Chi-
cago. Hundreds of persons, most of them
women, were knocked down in the slush
and mud by the "nor'easter.*' As a
"Windy City" Chicago lived up to its
reputation Saturday.

P. L. McKee of the American Green-
house Mfg. Co. has just returned from an
extended trip to California. He states
there is a great future there for green-
house construction, as up to the present
time, all structures in this line are quite
crude when compared with what can be
seen around Chicago. With the comple-
tion of the new range covering 85,000
sq. ft. of ground for the Amling Bros,
near Los Angeles, it is believed the flo-
rists' industry on the Coast will assume
more rapid development and that many
more of the Chicago type of greenhouses
will be erected.

The florist business, unlike many others,
has a large proportion of "knockers." We
had a sample of this at Easter in Chi-
cago and now comes from Philadelphia
the important information that the Moth-
er's Day International Association in
Philadelphia has abandoned the flower
as a symbol for this year's Mother's Day,
May 8. "These are not times to waste
money on flowers," the proclamation
reads. It warns against imposters, say-
ing no one is authorized to solicit funds
or sell anything for Mother's Day.

Arvid Anderson, the well known gar-
dener for C. D. Wiman, and also on the
Deer estate at Moline, has resigned from
private service to enter the ranks of
commercial growers. He has recently
purchased one-half interest in the Rose-
view Greenhouses at Beardstown, 111.,
which will occupy his entire attention for
the future. Fred Anderson, who was sec-
ond man on the Deer estate, has been ad-
vanced to the position vacated by Mr.
Anderson.

W. F. Felton, a prominent Cleveland
retailer, spent a few days in the city
the past week purchasing stock. He re-
ports business good in his city and the
organization of the Cleveland Retail Flo-
rists' Association of which he is secre-
tary. The new association starts off with
a membership of 70.

The Garden Club of Illinois and the

Horticultural Association of Lake
est, intend putting on nest month a
days' show of Peonies, Iris and Tulii
the Gorton School. The dates wil]
pend upon the weather and the pai
lar week at which all garden flowers
be at their best. A tour of some oi
loveliest gardens in Lake Forest will
ment the program.

Wm. Snyder of the Poehlmann Bros
supply department, will leave this ^
for a four months' trip to the Pe
Coast. The trip will be made by
in company of a friend who will go a
for pleasure. The proposed route wil
through the Northwestern States, ret
inr by a Southern route. He has bee
work for some time in getting sample
supplies together for this trip and
his car fitted especially to carry set
large sample cases. i

"JAY EM" Says:

Doris Blake in the Chicago Sunday
Tribune says some strange things regard-
ing plants that may be new to professional
florists. Here are a few of them:

"A cutting from a stolen plant will
surely grow."

"Greeks believed some plants had im-
mortal souls."

"When water hangs on the leaves of

Elants it is a sure sign they will soon
loom."

"Slips cut from plants with shears will
not live; they must be i>roken off to do
well."

"If plants received as a gift grow and
flourish, it is a sign that the giver is a
faithful friend. If they wither the giver
is false, and an enemy."

"When you free your plants and trees
of broken twigs and dead leaves, never
burn them as it will cause the plants to
become sick and wither away."

"If a person purchases a plant that an-
other intended to buy, it will wither and
die."

"If a little fresh dirt is taken from
the grave of a child and sprinkled on
potted plants it will make them flourish."

"It is believed in Cornwall, England,
that household plants will wither and die
soon after there has been a death in the
house, unless a piece of black cloth is tied
to them."

Carnations for Mother s Day

YOU NEED THEM
WE HAVE THEM

"Sim grows them for us, about
180,000 plants. We sell them for
him, every one."

It is a pleasure to sell Carnations
for a man who, at the Big Boston
Show, in good competition, received
the first Gold Medal ever awarded
a Carnation in Boston, besides
seven first and two second prizes
for eleven entries.

It takes good Carnations to do it.

We Also Have Plenty of White
Orchids.
Our reputation for fresh flowers,
reliability, careful packing, prompt

I price. Sopie extra fine Kaiserin, offered
, in one stall, have not more of a show
than any of the other white sorts.

Carnations have, with difficulty, main-
tained the price of a week ago. The best
are still selling at 5c. for top price. In
fact, none of the best have been coming
to the Boston market lately. Laddie can
hardly be found; neither do Rosalie, fine
Wards or Benoras show up. When ask-
ing for a reason, you are told that the
best Carnations go to New York, where
a much better price is obtained. In gen-
eral, there are almost more Carnations
offered than the market can absorb at
present.

The next thing that does not go are
white Lilies, of which only a few show
up; that is about all they do — they show
up and don't sell, even at from 8c. up to
15c. Callas are taken in preference to
Lilies, for the good reason that they can
be had for next to nothing. Just think
of it, twelve great big Callas for 75c.
(sometimes less) up to $1.50! Then come
Sweet Peas — ^yes. Sweet Peas, lots of them
and, considering the season, rather good
ones at that. They manage to get sold
some way or other. No, I won't tell for
how little. Snapdragons are extra good,
suffering also from "stickitis" in the worst
way. Calendulas and Mignonette keep
them company. Of the latter few good
flowers have been seen for a long while.

Bulbous stock has about run its course.
Good Victoria Narcissi always sell; Von
Sions are harder to move. The former
bring 5c.; the latter 4c. Nice Darwin
Tulips, mostly red, are offered, finding
few buyers at 6c. to 7c.

Tbe Market

April 19.— Today is "Patriots'
Day" in Boston. The city is celebrating
it in a quiet and dignified way and started
in at 7 a.m. promptly by utterly neg-
lecting the flower market. Sales of any
kind of stock were few and far between,
and by 9 a.m. the market closed up for
the day. Yesterday (Monday) business
was pretty fair, in spots even good, al-
though it will have to be much better to
take care of all the flowers coming in
and will require giving prices some little
boost. All of last week trade dawdled
along in a leisurely way; there were
flowers enough and to spare of every
description. Prices were low enough, but
transactions did not take place as of yore.
Probably the weather had a lot to do with
the case— tra -la-la. Hail and snow, rain
and bluster do not invite people to come
out just for the sake of buying and wear-
ing flowers, and even the street vendors
fared more or less badly. In no instance
has the price of flowers advanced during
the past week. A slight reduction has
taken place in many cases and, all in all,
a buyer had an easy time of it most of
the time.

Roses, the quality of which is excel-
lent throughout, have the time of their
lives to make a daily cleanup. They
do it, though, with lots of exertion on the
part of the salesman and a soft pedal on

I Hardy Larkspurs and the blue Iris
filifolia find their way into the market
upon occasion in very small lots. One or
two growers specialize in these flowers
and are able to sell direct to the stores
at a good price. Yellow Marguerites, in
quality from bad to extra good, always
find a ready sale at from 50c. to $3 per
100. English Daisies, Pansies, Forgetme-
nots, etc., are of little consequence, as
far as price is concerned; they sell for
something or less.

In orchids we have Cattleya Schroederse
and Mossiee in sufficient supply to satisfy
a normal demand. The first named brings
from 50c. up, while the second is doing
somewhat better. 03T)ripediumB are very
scarce. Gardenias and Lily of the Valley

1 are plentiful and have come down in price.

; Asparagus, both Sprengeri and plumosus,

I also greenhouse and hardy ferns, are to

' be had at the usual figures.

I There are no novelties whatsoever so

I far, a few bunches of short sprays of Bou-

j vardia Humboldtii excepted.

' Florists Association of Boston

! The regular monthly meeting was

I held at the City Club, on the evening
of April 12, with President J. B. Letson
I in the chair. The attendance was not as
j large as might have been expected for an
j occasion when a well informed speaker
j was to tell the florists something about a
; subject which comes in close touch to
I them all, namely, the present situation
: of the railroads and their problems. Sev-
, eral prominent members excused by tele-
j grams their non-attendance on this even-
, ing on account of absence from the city.
I Frank Gibbs, chairman of the commit-
; tee of arrangements, made his report in
I regard to the banquet given to the visit-
j ing Rosarians and florists at the Parker
House, during Rose Show Week. The
report was considered satisfactory, as
was also the one from Frank Edgar in
connection with the complimentary din-
ner, tendered to Thomas Roland, by the
association. President Letson made some
mild remarks about the retailers belong-
ing to the association, not attending the
meetings more regularly and in greater
numbers. The growers who form the
minor part of the organization, are taking
the duty of attendance much more seri-
ously than their brethren, the retail flo-
rists.

After the finish of the routine busi-
ness. President Letson introduced R. H.
Newcomb as the speaker of the evening.
Mr. Newcomb is closely connected with
the management of the Boston and Maine
railroad and held high offices, under the
Government administration of the coun-
try's railroads, during the war period. He
is thoroughly acquainted with all the
facts and details affecting the manage-
ment of the New England railroads. His
comprehensive talk gave all a good in-
sight into what the railroads of the coim-
try, and especially those of New England,
are up against in the matter of unwise
legislation and constrictions on the part
of labor organizations. The speaker drew
a pretty dark picture of the existing sit-
uation and emphasized the need of a
change for betterment, if the roads are
not to meet with total disaster. At the
same time, he was optimistic enough to
hope that things will come out all right
in the end. Throughout his whole speech
he showed his loyalty and high regard
for his own railroad, the Boston and
Maine which, according to his words, has
done and is now doing wonders in the
matter of transportation under the most
adverse and discouraging conditions.

Mr. Newcomb was given a rising vote of
thanks. The dinner served during the
evening was an enjoyable affair. The
tables were decorated with Darwin Tu-
lips and Madonna Lilies from Wm. W.
Edgar Co.

Latest From the Hub

Welch Bros. Co. are displaying a
wonderful lot of well grown Tausend-
schoen Roses and other ramblers trained
in different designs, for which the demand
has kept up most satisfactory since Easter.
French Hydrangeas in all colors are also
selling well. The firm's shipments out of
town, especially to the provinces of Can-
ada, which always have been a large fac-
tor, are still increasing. American Beauty
of the best grade and Lily of the Valley
are also specialties of the firm.

Bill Scanlon, who is well known am

J. Quinn of Brookline for the lasti
years, has given up his position and)
going to take it easy for awhile.

The old fashioned "flu," or somethi
is raising "Hail Columbia" with the ea
men at the Flower Exchange Marl ^

in bunches. The latest victims ; i
Geo. H. Noyes and Bill Hastings. As h .
of them are rather husky chaps, we hi I
to see them around again in due time.

W. R. Nicholson of Framingham 1
taken up the forcing of hardy Delphi

or three years and has found it a payi i
proposition. He has lately brought
the market some extra fine spikes, ;
which he is getting fancy prices. He i
also growing an immense amount of Gyp '
phila elegans.

The first Bouvardia Humboldtii of t '
season has come to the market from H. '
Holbrow of Dorchester. Growing tl
beautiful fiower is just fun to this (
timer.

Dolansky -McDonald consider the pf
season the most strenuous and most pr ^
perous since they started in business j
few years ago. Being sole distributt
of the immense output of Carnations fn '
the largest range of Carnation houses ■
New England (Wm. Sim of Clistondal i
and of the great stock of orchids fr( t
Frank Dolansky of Lynn, has given th( '
a wonderful chance to forge to the foi '
front in the wholesale flower market. Tht j
^mexcelled location and a faithful sU ■.
of employees have done the rest. To ei ■
isfy the ever increasing trade, busiiif
facilities have had to be increased sevei '
times and, before long, a further enlarf \
ment of premises will be essential. '

To keep in good trim, the two Franl
once in a while, fly the coop and go bi !

without taking along some fishing tack. ^
That the boys had been on one of the ^

His place is situated in the immediate
neighborhood of the devastated area and
Mr. Rolfs with his family and neighbors
had the fright of their lives as the "bust"
occurred early in the morning, while it
was yet dark. The explosions which
spread from one powder mill and maga-
zine _ to the other, wrecked everything in
a wide radius and injured over 20 per-
sons. The roofs of the greenhouses were
blown off, glass and sashbars and the walls
of the dwelling were also blown asunder.

I HENRY PENN'S MESSAGE

Everybody Sells Something or Loafs

Mystery or Mastery

Have you ever stopped to think that there is no MTSTERY in
Success. It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It is based on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that underlie business activity and human life! It
comes from MASTERY of these laws, and their application to one's
work! To know these laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligently is sure to bring success whatever one's undertaking
MASTEEY is the key-word, not MYSTERY! The change of one let-
ter makes all the difference in the world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Business conditions are
rapidly changing. Just a short time ago there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more goods
n 1 "^y^''^- Instead of a seller's market, we have a buyer's market.
All business, or in other words, all human activity, in its last analysis
IS dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill: the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant his merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice? Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your sales-
manship.
This message lo taken from the Sheldon Science of Business of which
I am a class member at Boston, and I think it contains meat for all
florists.

Effective Window Advertising

E\ EKY person passing your store is a prospective
ai>lomcr; not "almost every person," but "every
Miinle person," for in the hearts of every one of
hi. and not buried so deeply either, lies a love of the
lelit'ul, yes, a passionate love of the beautiful.

\\ florists' window displays cater to this love of the
CStiful, but it is the exceptional window display that
us this feeling of admiration for the beautiful things
ifnature into a desire for actual possession which
n. es one to buy. If one could perceive the principle
mvhich these exceptional windows are based one could
0)6 his window displays a more effective link in his
liiness of reading the figures on the right side of his
!e':er at the end of the month or
fc.

,'illiam H. Templett of Cleve-
a^ has hit on a method of window
lilay that is potential, with big
13 5 possibilities. It probably is not
If, but it is none the less effective.
\ ptations of it can be made to
m any season or any particular
pl'it or idea it is desired to push
K icularly.

he display that stops the passers-
))it his store, and causes many of
i 1 to enter and place an order, is
1 llection of some 24 Roses, each
)ii different variety, each in an
nridual bud vase and each with
1 ird bearing its full name and
ivrther it is a tea, hybrid tea or
iv'id perpetual Rose.

'mong the varieties that were on
i> bition (and this will give the
■e^er an idea of the extent to
n':h he carries out the scheme)
»i: Columbia, Hadley, Hoosier

Z\ "ta, Soupert, Bon Silene, Kil-
ai :y, Bride and several others.
V; gether it made a beautiful, edu-
ai nal and informative exhibit, as
vi evidenced by the many people
vl stopped to study the window
in, note each separate Rose and the
lai; card accompanying it.

the center of the display was a bowl of Roses with
. 1 ger card, beautifully hand painted, showing a cluster
if loses. The card bore the lettering : "Rose Bushes.
ri; Better Kind. Leave Orders Now." The window
va certainly effective, for many acted on the last sug-
;ej on and entered the store to buy Rose bushes for their
:a|ens.

iher cards in the window, beautifully hand painted
ly [r. Kent (who is the one responsible for the arrange-
nf and idea of the window) suggested: "Plant Your
Jc: Garden Now;" "Every Rose Has a Sermon for
hi We Will But Hear It;" "A Rose by Any Other
^"fie Would Smell as Sweet;" and other appropriate
hd'hts.

'i anyone understanding the psychological effect pro-
luid by such a window display, it is not at all surpris-
nf hat so many acted on the suggestion to "buy Roses
10 " "Oh I Wouldn't it be wonderful to have those
tcs in my own back yard garden?" and, "I've always
raed to know the names of these particular Roses,
nihere they are all named!" "Roses! The Better

at is the reaction that goes on in the mind of the
mwho pauses to look at the display, and that is the
esion that is, or should be, sought for in all window

e Fective, It is fine to make beautiful displays, but if
o'can make beautiful displays and at the same time
aa : effective business producers, well, why not do it ?

The principle on which this window display is built
can be used for any other flower or other purposes and
be equally as effective. When Phloxes are in bloom, for
instance, arange a display of the different varieties, indi-
vidual blooms in individual vases, and suggest how easy
it is to select tlie varieties one likes for one's garden now%
placing the order for them for delivery at the proper
planting time.

The same thing can be done with Peonies and Water
Lilies. Larkspur, Iris. Chrysanthemums and Dahlias
would make a wonderful exhibit also; even Geraniums
and bedding plants, porch boxes and ferns and palms
would lend themselves to such a display. You can take
all the items of the floral business and work them up in

It may be that the Publicity Committee is directly be-
hind this front page cover. If it is not. it deserves the
credit nevertheless, for it is its activity in the national
"Say it with Flowers" campaign which made flowers
occupy such a position in the thoughts of the public that
tlieir suitableness for the various occasions of life comes
naturally to the minds of the people. It is this popu-
larity that flowers have come to hold in the minds of
the people which instilled the idea in the mind of the
artist who painted the picture for the cover page of the
May Dcsiifncy,

Get the May Designer and see this cover page ; stop
and think that the National Publicity Committee is re-
sponsible for it, and that this page is just an example of
hundreds of other things, just as good, which the Na-
tional Publicity Committee is re-
sponsible for directly, and a great
deal oftener, indirectly.

Then, if you have not done so
already, dig down in your jeans and
send the National Publicity Com-
mittee a check that will help to keep
this work up, help to make flowers
the fashion, help to show the pub-
lic four ways of using flowers where
before they were aware of but one.
Your greenhouses will not produce
flowers in the Winter unless there
is steam in the boiler. The Na-
tional Publicity Committee cannot
grow in the minds of the public the
idea behind the national slogan
which will cause the public to de-
sire four flowers for every one
flower they used in the past, unless
it has steam in its boiler. Give a
hand at shoveling coal into its boiler
for a change, as well as sitting back
and comfortably enjoying the
warmth that has already been pro-
duced.

Interior View of Swetland's Flower Shop, Portland, Oregon

This is a new and swell institution in the city of Portland. All the woodwork is cream color with mahogany trimming,
and the appearance is that of one of the finest finished flower shops in town, S. A. Dunlop is manaKer.

educational, and gotten up with the idea of showing how
they can be of real service to the customer, creating in
his mind the desire for possession, you will find them
powerful business builders.

You can make these displays just as effective at any
season of the year as the window of Roses at Wm. H.
Templett's store has proved to be this month.

Results of the National Publicity Campaign

Results of the National Publicity Campaign come in
many forms, and because they are not always labeled
with the "Say it with Flowers" slogan, they are often
not credited to the activity of our National Publicity
Committee, even though due to its unceasing work, energy
and push.

The front outside cover page of the Designer for May,
which is just out, is an example in point. It is a color
picture of a bride and groom in traveling attire, occupy-
ing their stateroom at the beginning of the wedding trip.
At their feet is a big basket of Roses and other boxes
of Roses, not yet opened, are among their luggage, while
the bride is holding the card taken from the basket of
Roses, and the groom is looking over her shoulder at
the card and basket. The bride's corsage is not forgot-
ten— a big bunch of Violets to go with her neat blue
traveling suit.

Taken altogether, as a booster of flowers and a booster
of the F. T. D., without even a word said about either,
it is unsurpassed. Well executed, it effectively poi trays
the appeal of flowers and speaks that appeal as strongly
as though it had "Say it with Flowers" in big letters
across the face of it.

Canned Ideas

By H. R. TOTTEN

Do you file away for future use
the ideas which flash across your
mind-screen during odd moments of
the day? If such is not your prac-
tice, it is time for you to get the
habit, and make it a part of your
daily system.

While going the rounds some
morning, a vague idea may pop into
your head as to how you might materially increase the
efliciency of a given department by making certain
changes in the present system. You give the plan a
moment's thought, but decide that current conditions are
against attempting a change, and you cast the idea aside.
This is a grave mistake. Some day there will develop
conditions better suited to the trying out of that idea.

Ideas are money. Ideas are success. They should be
filed away against the day when they will be able to
demonstrate their worth. The mistake most of us make
is in letting ourselves become so beset with the necessity
of immediate returns that we cannot vision the future.
The result is that we throw away precious ideas, just
because we cannot see their proper worth at once.

In one city there is a florist who is a most consistent
filer away of ideas. He calls them "canned ideas." He
gets them here, there and everywhere. Observation fur-
nishes some of them. The Florists' Exchange supplies
a goodly quota. Others are begotten of conversation
and, according to his friends, he even gets them out of
his sleep. This proves that the places from which to dig
up ideas are limitless.

Here is the way he handles them : He always carries
with him a small pad of paper, and no matter where he
is, when an idea comes to him, he jots the nature of it
down. Sometimes he collects three or four ideas in a
day. His next course is to make use of the idle period
after the lunch hour, when he likes to enjoy a smoke
before settling down to the tasks of the afternoon. He
brings forth the pad and dictates the ideas he has gath-
ered to a stenographer. She types each one upon a
separate sheet of paper, making carbons. The carbon

Ornamental Horticulture

] Washington Convention, Aug. 16, 17, 18

The mailing of prints of the floor plan
ot the Convention Hall in Washington has
just been completed. The plan covers the
whole of the second floor of the buildins
which IS most admirably adapted for the
trade exhibition. As will be seen on
reference to the plan there is not a col-
umn, pillar or other obstruction on the
floor to interfere with the arrangement of
exhibits. Applications already received
tor space would seem to indicate that the
trade displays will be even larger than
those at the Cleveland convention, at
which all records were broken.
, The space rental remains the same as
in previous years, 60c. per sq. ft. The
cost of the official sign, including the
rental of an upright, or stand, is $3. Rule
AAV of the rules relating to the man-
agement of the trade exhibition, reading-
Ihe selling of goods by persons or firms
not having engaged space will be pro-
hibited, imless such person or firm shall
have secured a permit or license from
the secretary, the same to cost not less
than $35, will be strictly enforced, so
that none other than exhibitors will be
permitted to transact business on the floor
until the license or permit mentioned has
been obtained from the secretary.

Orders for signs should be sent to the
secretary with the application for reserva-
tion of space. The rules require that
25 per cent of the total amount payable
tor space shall be paid upon the signing
of the contract, and the balance before the
exhibitor takes possession.

Additional copies of the floor plan may •
be had upon application to the secretary
Membership cards will shortly be issued
to all members in good standing, and such
members will be required to present their
cards at the entrance to the hall. The
work of the secretary's office will be
greatly facilitated it members who have
not paid their dues will make remittance
now. It might be again mentioned that
at the annual meeting of the Executive
Board held in Washington last January,
a resolution was passed authorizing the
dropping of the name of any member from
the membership roll for non-payment of
dues after one year.

The Membership Drive

I The drive for increased membership di- i
' rected and supported by the Executive \
. Board is about to commence. Complying i
with the board's resolution. President Ko- i
land has appointed the following com-
; mittee to take charge of the drive: Chair-
; man, J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville, 111 ;
Joseph H. Hill, Richmond, Ind.; S S
Pennock, Philadelphia, Pa.; A. L. Millerj I
Jamaica, N. Y., and Paul R. Klingsporn,
I Chicago, 111. It will be the purpose and

object of this committee to double the '

] membership in the society before the date

I of the coming convention, and they will

I commence a vigorous campaign about May

15. Many novel plans and features to

bring the desired results have been in

process of working out. The different flo-

I rist clubs of the country have been called

j upon to cooperate, and they will appoint

local committees to assist in the drive. The

j drive slogan is "Every member get a mem-

. ber," and if this idea materializes the so-

I ciety's present membership certainly ought

I to be doubled. The membership roll now

contains about 3500 names, and it is the

IS but a nominal number when it is con-

National Publicity Campaign

I The secretary has been instructed to
I send out another appeal to guarantors who
I are delinquent in the pajToent of sums
I guaranteed to the campaign fund. The
j Publicity Committee is anxious to resume
I the national advertising at the earliest

possible date, and are greatly handicapped
I in making their contracts when they have

insufficient funds in hand to cover their
] obligations.

I Department of Plant Registration

I Public notice is hereby given that
1 Henry J. Doll, Wankuck Greenhouses,
I Providence, R. I., submits for registration
I the new plant here mentioned:

Geranium, Mrs. Hattie A. Doll, seed-
I ling, parentage unknown. Plant a strong
grower free and early bloomer, zone in
I leaf very distinct. Height ISin.; color,
glowing scarlet; flower single, 30 to 35
to a large cluster; individual pips 2in. in
diameter.

Any person objecting to this registra-
tion, or to the use of the proposed name,
is requested to communicate with the sec-
retary at once. Failing to receive ob-
jection to the registration, the same will
be made three weeks from this date.

, New Idea in Hanging Baskets

Reed & Keller of New York City have

placed on the market a pyramidal shaped

hanging basket, made of galvanized iron,

corrugated, with iron chains, japanned in

; colors, with a large drain at the bottom.

Inside of the bottom is a trap to prevent

the earth from falling through the large

drain. The corrugated sides of the basket

I gives It greater draining surface, and en-

I ables the air to get at the plant much

; better than the old fashioned straight

' liner. A patent has been applied for on

this basket.

Jersey City, N. J.

Callas Bros., 100 Sip ave. and 2884
Boulevard, expect to extend their ever
increasing business into Newark, Eliza-
beth and Hoboken. Their general man-
ager, Robert E. Uthoff, formerly of Hen-
burg's, Hoboken, has induced Louis Callas
to bring Callas Service into that city.
After looking over the advance orders
for June weddings, which require church
and home decoration, the firm has en-
gaged the services of C. F. W. Luck, floral
designer and decorator of Trenton, N. J.,
for this particular work. Mr. Luck has
been connected with many large firms and
is considered an expert in his line.

British Plant Breeders Busy

Judging by the awards distributed by
the R H. S. of late, plant breeders are
now coming forward with novelties that
were presumably raised during the war.
At the second meeting in March no less
than fourteen awards of merit and three
first class certificates were bestowed and,
if reports count for anything, every re-
cipient was a worth while plant. The fa-
vored plants included several Saxifragas,
several Rhododendrons, one hybrid Magno-

Canned Ideas

{Continued from page 989)
copies are filed in the office, and be takes
the originals home, where he puts them
away in a file which he has for the pur-
pose.

Now, with most of us our deep-mining
for ideas would end right here. But not
with this progressive man. One evening
of each week of the year he sits down in
his study, brings out his "canned ideas,"
and goes over them. To this and that
one he adds the result of later thought,
and in the course of time he has developed
plans which are ready for execution. On
the other hand, as a result of his idea-
collecting system, this florist is never
taken by surprise when called upon for a
few remarks at a club meeting. He is
always prepared and he can usually be
depended upon to give utterance to some-
thing worth hearing.

The particular method herein set down
for the gathering of ideas may not appeal
to you. It does not matter. It is the
ideas you put away for future reference
and use that count. If you be one of
those super-mortals whose gray matter is
so constituted that you can keep your
ideas on record in a mental file, so much
the better. But whatever you do, be your
method what it may, "can" the ideas
picked up during the day's work; do not
throw them away. That is the most im-
portant idea of all.

Toledo, 0.

Blizzaxd Hits This Section

This city was the center of the
worst blizzard and snowstorm of the
season on Saturday and Sunday. Over
half a foot of snow fell on the latter day
and there was a solid freeze. Crops were
seriously damaged and little hope is held
out for fruit.

Despite the imprecedented glut reported
from some centers, leading florists here
report a satisfactory demand for the past
week which was profitable to the retail-
ers, due to the lower cost of flowers. Roses
of the best grades were plentiful and
could be bought at big reductions over
former prices. Carnations and Sweet
Peas were also quite plentiful. Bulb
stock like cut DafEodils and Jonquils are
enjoying a surprising call.

Growers Organize

William Krueger was elected to
head the local growers at a meeting held
at the Waldorf Hotel last week when a
branch of the National Flower Growers
Association was established here. J. L.
Schiller was elected secretary. Several
state officers were here to help organize.
They explained the objects of the organi-
zation and answered many questions put
to them by the local growers. If the re-
tailers will liven up their organization
some progress will be made here. Educa-
tion is all that is needed to show grower
and retailer that their interests are in-
separably linked together and that the
only solution for many vexatious prob-
lems lies in hearty cooperation.

Gathered Here and There

Max Spanner had a big wedding
decoration last week which he capably
executed. Max Zaller, his new assistant,
is working wonders in the interior ar-
rangement of the store and daily improve-
ment is noted. -

Some wonderful specimen Hydrangeas
are seen in the window of Feniger's Su-
perior st. store. Displays in this excellent
window are always attractively arranged
and pull good returns.

Schramm Brothers entertained their
Easter force of regulars and extras at a
dinner held at the Y. M. C. A. George B.
Schramm acted as toastmaster. Business
with this firm has been very satisfactory
since Easter. Frank M. Schramm has
been confined to his home for the past
week.

Helen Patten spent Sunday in Chicago
to hear a lecture on annlifiH -osychology.

Paul Timm says his Easter business was
surprisingly good. His greenhouses on
Monroe st. are in fine shape for a profit-
able season in bedding plants.

John Barrow and Son have opened a
branch of their Detroit ave. store on Dorr
st. This is a populous section and should
offer a good opportunity for a successful
flower shop. F- S.

Buffalo, N. Y. — A fire in the build-
ing adjacent to the flower shop of Dolly
Donovan, did about §1000 damage to the
premises, a greenhouse in the rear being
practically destroyed.

Reading, Pa. — A new uptodate flower
store has been opened by Philip A. Weiler
at 941A Penn st., to be known as Weiler's
Flower Shop. Mr. Weiler, who was city
electrician here for four years, has for
some time conducted greenhouses in Wyo-
missing, where he grows most of the

The Florists* Exchange

t

A Golden Anniversary in the
Golden West

We have already made brief reference
to the enjoyable ceremonies with which
Mr. and Mrs. Peter D. Bamhart, with
the help of a throng of relatives and
friends, celebrated their fiftieth wedding
amiiversary. Now we are enabled to re-
produce, in the accompanying illustration,
a souvenier of the event that will be wel-
comed by the many well wishers who were
unable to attend; and also to tell, in_ Mr.
Bamhart's own words, about some of the
details of the enjoyable affair at Los
Angeles on Feb. 23, 1921.

"I want to thank you," he writes, for
the delightful notice you gave the golden
wedding in The Exchange. The program
referred to was mainly a musical one, in-
cluding the following features:

Quartette — "Gracious God." Mrs. P. D-
Barnhart, soprano; Mrs. J. M. Bamhart alto-
W. G. Bamhart, tenor; Rev. J. M. Barnhart. basso-
Solo — "My Father luiows." Mrs. P. D.
Bamhart.

Solo — "Love's Coronation," Frank G. Bamhart.
Quintette — "Creation." The Barnhart family
Solo~"SmiIe, Sing, Slumber." Miss Gertrude
Homer.

Address— Subject, "Golden Weddings." Rev.
W. G. Barron.

Full Chorus — "America." Company standing
Grace — Rev. C. W. Hershman.
Full chorus— "God Be With You." Entire
company.

"All the Barnharts named on the pro-
gram," writes Mr. Barnhart, "are our
boys, their pictures appearing in the pho-
tograph. To be sure the picture you
printed was taken when the spirit of mis-
chief was upon me, whereas the day of
the wedding celebration, wife and I had
some photos taken, in which I appear all
dolled up, and with a due amount of
dignity to harmonize with the occasion,

"The day was the happiest one of our
lives; the first wedding day not excepted.
Flowers and congratulations were show-
ered upon us in great profusion, and life
proved to be better than ever.

"I am enclosing a program which I
prepared for the occasion, and which was
carried out to the letter. I may say that
one number was a surprise even to my-
self. For an encore my wife sang 'Dar-
ling, I Am Growing Old.' She did it so
well that the very thoughts of the time
when we shall have crossed the boundary
line between this world and the nest,
overca,me me. and when she concluded I
sprang to my feet and embraced the
woman, and for a moment sobbed my af-
fections for her on her shoulder. The scene
was dramatic in the extreme, and the
company present caught the inspiration
for the moment. .

"About 200 guests came to pay their
respects to us, and every one was filled
with good will, which he or she poured
forth in generous manner. Even those
who participate in social functions of all
sorts, and have done so for years, said
that it was the best one they ever at-
tended.

"Our boy in New York could not, un-
fortunately, leave his work at this time
of the year without great loss to himself,
and to the great work in which he is en-
gaged. He has promised to visit us the
coming Summer, however, when the days
on the Atlantic Coast are very warm and,
because of the great humidity, are un-
comfortable.

"It pleases me to think that my efforts
in holding the celebration were so highly
successful in impressing my friends with
the value of a married life, through stress
and storm, as well as through sunshine,
during 50 consecutive years.

"Depend upon it, the pathway was not
always strewn with Koses, neither was it
always a smooth one, but faithful to our
marriage tows, we trudged on together
and at last have reached a place where
we may sit down, rest a bit, and re-
view the scenes through which we have
passed, happy in the thought that the
blush of shame will not come to the cheeks
of our children when our names may be
mentioned in the presence of their
friends."'

a little scarce, especially Roses, Carna-
tions and Lilies. Sweet Peas are a little
better.

April 9 was a big day for all the florists,
there being a big bank opening. J. W,
Rodgers had charge of the decorations,
and used practically all the decorative
plants to be had in town — Bay trees,
palms, ferns, etc. Twelve thousand Roses
and Carnations were also used. About
125 floral offerings were received, mostly
basket arrangements, in value from @d
to §100, all the florists getting a share.

Tuesday, April 12, was National Flower
Growers' Day, and a local coimcil was
organized, some 20 growers being present.
Horace M. Frank was elected local vice-
president and Harry Bunyard, secretary.
A good deal of enthusiasm was displayed
at the meeting. Speakers of the evening
were: J. F. Aromann, Carl Hagenburger,
L. E. Vinson and J. Anderson. It was
the opinion of those present that a great
deal of good would come of it.

Wednesday, the 13th, the Dayton Flo-
rists Club held its 16th annual ban-
quet, some 40 guests being present. Out
of town guests: Mrs. I. Waters of Eaton

The Market

April 18. — The sudden change to
cool weather early last week had the ex-
pected effect of heavily reducing the re-
ceipts of stock, and at the close of busi-
ness April 16, the market was in a well
cleaned up condition. Business was suf-
ficiently brisk to keep things moving. The
quality of stock was never better, except
Sweet Peas, which show the softening ef-
fect of warm weather.

The week's trading was without sensa-
tion and the volume of business done
might well be characterized as normal.
Retailers report counter trade as weak,
with most of their stock being absorbed
in funeral orders.

Some choice Snapdragons are now ar-
riving and there ih a generous assort-
ment of flowers available. Bulbous stock
and Violets are now practically over.

Preparations for Mother's Day indicate
that a good volume of business is ex-
pected for that occasion. Supplies and
accessories are moving well and advance

Wedding celebration

"The day may come" writes Mr. Bamhart. "when this picture will scarcely be even a
curiosity and when the waste basket will claim it. On the other hand it may remain of interest
to future genprationsto.show the Styles of dre?sin these daj'S." To us, however, and, we believe,
to many Exchange readers, it means a good deal more, as a souvenir of the touching ceremonv
described in the text. The two men at the right of the rear row are Rev. "W. G. Barron and
Rev. C. W. Harshman, who contributed the address and the words of thanksgi^ang noted on
the program; all the rest are Barnhart relations. "The young lady in white is the remaining
member of Mrs. Barnhart's oldest brother's family; beside Mrs. B. is her only li\'ing brother;
in the row behind us are three of our sons and our remaining daughter; and the other faces
are those of our nephews and their wives."

orders for cut flowers are being placed.
As usual, the local supply of the popular
items in cut stock will be inadequate to
take care of the augmented demand.

A visit to several ranges in which bed-
ding stock is featured, discloses heavy
preparation for the outdoor planting sea-
son. While there is plenty of Geraniums,
Petunias, Coleus, Dracenaes, Vincas and
Ivies in evidence, the well known fact
that several florists who used to specialize
in bedding stock, are no longer in busi-
ness, makes a decided shortage inevitable.
Unusually good prices should be realized
this Spring for this class" of stock.
Cleveland Retail Florists Association

This new body wds organized on
!Monday, April 11. It is the purpose of
the association to hold regular monthly
meetings for the general discussion of
all matters of interest to the retail trade
of the city; to work for better coopera-
tion among the trade, and to give the flo-
rists' trade of the city the prominence it
deserves locally as well as throughout the
entire country. More recognition in the
trade papers is desired by the new asso-
ciation and with the approach of the Na-
tional Flower Show, the trade felt it in-
cxmibent that a live working organization
should be started inunediately. The
bringing of this new organization to life
will, no doubt, influence for the general

good of the trade it represents, i t^
thing the retailers of the city wi je
proud of.

This Week's Money Making Wrinkles

BAXTER'S NURSERY WRINKLES

With Horse Chestnuts, Maples,
Birch, Willow, Larch, Poplar and
many shrubs now well out in leaf,
making their digging risky, nurserymen
will do well to call attention to Beech,
American Elm, Oriental Plane and
Oaks, which are less advanced. Even
more dormant are such plants as Ca-
talpa. Locust, Kentucky Coffee, Pau-
lownia. Magnolias, flibiscus and Clero-
dendron, which should be recommended

for late planting. When the digging
of deciduous plants ceases, with the
advancement of the foliage, one may
still urge the planting of Rhododen-
drons and Laurel. Collected plants of
these are usually late in arriving from
the higher altitudes, and collectors and
growers should advertise now, empha-
sizing the fact that these plants may
still be set out with safety after the
season is over for digging deciduous
plants.

Market Notes

Stock of all kinds is plentiful; in
fact, this has been the case ever since
Easter. Carnations were extremely short
for awhile, but they are now to be had
in abundance. Hoses are plentiful, as
are also Sweet Peas. Violets, however,
are pretty well used up. Rununculus are
coining in in splendid shape and find a
ready sale; this also applies to Anemones,
of which there is an imusually good sup-
ply this week.

Miscellaneous Notes

Visitors in town last week in-
cluded J. Dietrich of Los Angeles, Calif.,
and S. Crichtel of St. Louis, Mo.

Adrian J. Schoorl, who for several
years has been connected with the retail
store of C. C. Morse & Co., has embarked
in business on his own account, opening
offices at 244 California st., San Francisco.
He plans to handle bulbs exclusively as a
broker.

William E. Dart of Santa Rosa, who
for some time past has conducted a nur-
sery, closed the business up last week
owing to backward trade.

The exhibition committees of the San
Francisco Retail Florists Association and
the Pacific Coast Horticultural Associa-
tion are to meet at a special meeting on
April 19 to complete definite plans for a
Fall tlower show. At the present moment
it looks as if the date would probably be
the last week in October, and the place
the Civic Auditorium, San Francisco.

Professor J. W. Gilmore of the Uni-

Portable Lines with 2 Sets of Nozzles

— One for Outdoors —
-==One for Inside —

Every month in the year your
Skinner System portable watering
line can be busy saving money and
making money for you. In the out-
door growing months, screw in the
Silver Stream Nozzles that throw
the water 25 ft, on each side of the
hne. The rest of the year put in
the Scatter Mist Nozzles and use it
in your greenhouse.

The pipes come in 18 ft. lengths-
The couplings are simphcity itself_
Just a slip-in of the square end into

its socket, a turn or two of the slip
collar and it's done. Four moves of
a 200-ft. line waters a full acre.
Two men can make the moves in
twenty minutes.

That complete hne 200 ft. long,
equipped with an extra set of nozzles
only costs $88.25. Compare it with
hose that wears out as soon as your
back is turned and waters one spot
at a time, and takes one man's time
to do it. Will sell you any length
line you want. Can ship at once

dent; Thomas Templelon, vice-president;
J. M. Daly, recording secretary; Arthur

in San Francisco.

Frank Pelicano of Pelicano, Rossi &
Co., is at Byron Sprin^is, where he is re-
cuperating after a severe attack of rheu-
matism. Reports are that he is doing
well and expects to be home soon.

American Greenhouse Co., Chicago, 111.,

The Market

The past week has seen a change
in the market; prices have stiffened. Car-
nations, which were very plentiful, es-
pecially light colors, have become some-
what scarce. Roses also are not plentiful
and prices on these have stiffened. This
is a very welcome sign, for although there
has been no real glut, there has been
too many flowers and, in many instances,
these, in order to close out, have been
sold at very low prices. Sweet Peas are
coming in plentifully, but the stems are
shorter and the bunches appear smaller.
Prices range from §2.50 to $7.50 a 1000.
There has been a good demand the past
week, quite a few weddings and a fair
amount of funeral work. Greens are sell-
ing well; ferns are now quoted at $6 a
1000. Roses are quoted at $4 to $12, fancy
stock $15 to $25. Plantmen are busy
getting ready for planting out ; there
is quite a demand for Rose bushes and
other outside stock.

plained bv Fred Ammann of Edward

GREENHOUSES

King semi-iron houses are tied together from eave to eave.

Strong malleable iron fittings built to fit the job — once built —
always built.

Ask the man who had some other make of house before he
had a "KING" and listen to his story of why he always repeats
with King.

When you think of good greenhouses, think of "King."

Because It's Macaw's

On my desk sits a lovely fern. A fern with fronds
that seem to be continually bubbling out of the pot and
flowing down on its sides. It gives me that joyous, care-
free feeling that comes up within us whenever we see a charm-
ing little girl with her golden tresses blowing as she runs.

George Stumpp, owner of
Favorite Flower Shop," gave it
calls it The Happy Hap Fern,
says "it makes every-
body happy who has one. ' '

Now for THE WHY of

the fern itself. It's be-
cause of Macaw's. And
now you know the Happy
Hap is one of the
Macawii strain, de-
veloped and grown to
such perfection by Ma-
caw Brothers, in their

New York's Lord & Burnham houses at Norwood, Pa.

to me. He Sure they are Scotch. Scotch as ever a bit

because he of heather that grew on the banks and braes

of bonny Scotland.

The growth of their
business is exactly like
the ferns you see in their
houses, vigorous and
healthy. And they every so
often get p)ot-bound for
room, just like them.
Then, they build another
L. & B. house. It's about

timeforanotheraboutnow.

e's a house of Happy Hap's relatives. Mayhap that's
why it's called the Happiness House.

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to our customera that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about S to 10
!0. high and was covered the entire aeaaon with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of ■
flowers, as many of them were over 2>2 in. across, while the individual flower would be J^ of an ■
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to IS in. across. It can easily be used with Alter- I
nantheras as a border plant. j

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

We have been working for several
years perfecting stocks and are now
able to assist you in giving the Flower

for: the beautiful pastel shades of deli-
cate pinks, tyrian rose, fiery cerise
and an endless list of pleasing shades
in a New Type of immense size and
unusual petalage, the DAHLIA FLOW-
ERED ZINNIA. This type is popular-
izing the Zinnia.

We have also introduced in Giants

a rich Golden Yellow^ called "Butter-
cup." These are distinctive and at-
tractive as cut flowers.

We have also on the market the
long stemmed Beauty Type of Aster

ering Aster in this type for you.

We also recommend our Selected
Strains of Cregos and American
Branching, our Fancy Strains of Half

ORNAMENTAL GRASSES AND THEIR USES

In which the writer proves the ease of their cultivation, gives the best varieties, and tells the
grower how he can dry, preserve and dye them for commercial purposes

namental Grasses

I 1. 1 tliat not a few of tlie last named are imported

ilihis, wliy not grow them? If it so happens that a

HI -tore is part of one's business, or that retailers

,vc part or the whole of tile output from any particu-

, range or outdoor area controlled by a grower, why

liiil.i not the latter widen his scope by handling a crop

;t i;in, if desired, be disposeti of either fresh or

ici:-

teful Flowers for Drying

rile recent note on Statice sinuata and its varieties,
laks to a subject that is useful either fresh or dry.
xrc is no reason why its culture should be confined to
iliiCrnia where it is handled to some little extent, the
wii.s iieing shipped East, small quantities even reach-
4 .\('\v York. But the mere fact that it is not received
ill any great eclat proves one thing — it never arrives
good condition.

Statice sinuata and S. Bonduelli retain practically the
PIC brilliant color twelve months after cutting if dried
ojitrly. The only decided change is in the stems
licli are, of course, brown and woody. Even the well-
iiMMi Straw Flowers, Hclichrysiini, will not retain
eir bright colors if badly handled.

Matter of Growing

t It is not a case of we can't grow this or that as so
iiny are disposed to think, but rather a matter of de-

rmining beforehand that these supposedly difBcult

ings can be overcome.
jIn recent years, lots of things have proved simple

out;li to handle ; indeed, not a few people have been

iMnn this, that or the other all along without making

\ [larticular fuss about it.

lie Simplicity of Growing Grasses

Keuarding ornamental grasses, we are not aware that

viiiie has ventured to declare them difificult of culture.
the main, they are annuals and are so simple to han-

;, that any ground that will grow anything at all, will
low grasses. Perhaps it is because they are so easy
I d because they are grouped as grasses, that the aver-

e grower ignores them. Even among amateur gar-

ns, unless they be of the old-fashioned type, one sees
■ le and hears less about ornamental grasses. An
';asional prowl around has never disclosed to the

iter anything in the ornamental grass line beyond the

1, old Ribbon Grass, Phalaris variegata.

le Beauty of Grasses

It may be mentioned here that the above grass is a
ise relative of the Canary Grass which produces the
: 11-known Canary seed. It is not suggested that any-
e should grow their own Canary seed, although as a
ass, it is as ornamental as many others. Indeed, one
s but to glance at the various grasses as they grow
the wayside and in the fields, to realize how charm-
i{ many of them are for mixing with flowers. It will,
I course, be understood that it is the flowering spikes
[' sprays that are of value; before they appear, the
erage grass is — well, just grass.

wing the Seed and Cultivation

For garden use it is only necessary to sow a pinch
seed in the border wherever space permits and, in
e course, the nodding bloom heads will blend them-
Ives with the adjacent flowers. For commercial pur-
ses, the seed is best sown in rows and, as in most in-
mces the seed is small, little covering is needed.
/The soil should be well worked and, because of the
flicate nature of some of the seeds, should be free
om surface stones.

As the seed is not expensive, it may be sown some-
lat thickly; if it comes up too freely, some of the
^dlings may be hoed out or transplanted.
While most grasses dislike too much moisture, they
predate water in dry weather as much as other plants,
d regular cultivation is likewise of good service.
Laiid need not be heavily manured, but poor land is
t likely to encourage tall, strong stems which are
ghly important.

orthwhile Varieties

The following are all worthy of attention, although
may not be easy to locate seed of all : Agrostis nebu-
la (Cloud Grass), ISin. ; Agrostis pulchella (dwarf
oud Grass), 6in. ; Anthoxanthum gracile (Vernal
'ass), 9in. ; Avena sterilis (Animated Oats), 3ft.;
■iza maxima (Quaking Grass), ISin. ; Briza maxima
acilis, lain.; Briza geniculata, ISin., has pinkish flow-

ers; Chrysurus aureus (Golden Grass), 12in. ; Coix
lachrynia (Job's Tears), 3ft.; Eragrostis elegans (Love
Grass), ;2ft. ; Kulalia japonica zebrina, striped foliage,
L'ft. ; Hordeum jubatuni (Squirrel Tail), 13in. ; Lagurus
ovatus (Hare's Tail Grass), 13in. ; Panicum capillare
(Panic Grass), 13in. ; Penuisetum Kueppelianum (Pur-
ple Fountain Grass), aft.; Pennisetum longistylum
(b'ountain Grass), :ift.; Paspalum elegans (Silver Mil-
let Grass), 3ft.; Stipa pennata (Feather Grass), 2ft.;
Uniola latifolia (Spike Grass), 4ft.; Tricholoena rosea
(Hair Grass), 3ft.

These are all annuals, or perhaps treated as such, but
there are a number of perennial grasses of varying
heights, including the well-known Pampas Grass,
Cyiwritiiti argentcum.

When to Cut

The flower spikes of all grasses should be cut and
bunched before they arc fully ripe; a little experience
will enable one to discern the right moment. If left
until the seed is ripe, the heads are liable to shake off
badly.

For sale as green stock with fresh flowers, it is im-
material when cutting takes place ; one can always be
sure that grasses will be appreciated, especially for mix-
ing with flowers of a light character, such as Sweet
Peas.

Drying the Flower Spikes

Drying for Winter use is a simple matter. The
bunches should be hung up in any airy shed where the
light is moderated. Sunshine is apt to spoil the color-
ing which, in some forms, is quite pleasing.

Artificial Dyeing Methods

Dyeing is a process that is mostly in the hands of
specialists, but there is no reason why the grower of
grasses should not dye his own. It is the perversity of
human nature to want things as we would like them,
and thus it is that there is a regular demand for dyed
foliage and grasses. Even the common Berberis vul-
garis, which in Europe is a big factor as Autumn fo-
liage for florists use, is largely dyed deep red and, so
treated, it always makes more money than the green.
The growers dye it before bringing it to market.

As the dye is used almost boiling hot, the dipping has
to be done quickly; an experienced hand can tell in-
stinctively whether he has overdone the dipping.

The following methods of dyeing Mosses, Grasses and
Everlasting flowers as practised in Germany some 50
years ago were discovered in an old-time garden book
edited by the late Shirley Hibberd.

It may be said here that the flowers and grasses
should be thoroughly dry when gathered.

Green. Boil 8 ounces of alum in 4 quarts of water
and dissolve 8 ounces of finely triturated mineral blue
in it. A beautiful green is the result.

Another green is made with indigo mixed with car-
mine and picric acid, adding sufficient water to get the
desired hue.

A light green may be made with picric acid 3 drachms,
^ drachm indigo and 10 ounces of alcohol.

Black. Two ounces logwood, quarter ounce alum,
three ounces copperas, boiled together.

Red. Boil as much red aniline dye in rainwater as
will make the desired tint.

These latter two dyes are for treating mosses and
certain kinds of foliage. Must be used hot.

Carmine. Two drachms Munich lac, half drachm
ultramarine blue, dissolved in six ounces of warm
water.

Rose. Half drachm e.xtract of safflower dissolved in
one quart of cold water.

Dark Blue. Eight drachms indigo extract in a quart
of water.

Cornflower Blue. Four drachms ' of blue aniline,
one ounce spirits of wine in one quart of water.

Violet. Fourdrachms violet aniline with same pro-
portions of spirit and water.

Light Blue. Four drachms Prussian blue dissolved
in one quart of water.

Deep Blue. Half ounce of catechu boiled in one
quart of water.

Orange. One and a half ounces borax in two quarts
of hot water. Steep for some time.

Most of these dyes can be used for grasses and ever-
lasting flowers but the latter, if colored, should be
bleached. Some of the grasses, too, would take the
dye better if first bleached.

Bleaching

Bleaching is done as follows : Keep the flowers in a
warm place until well open ; then lay them in a bath

containing a solution made up at the rate of two quarts
of water, half ounce of soda and one ounce of
chloride of lime. Cover the bath and leave in a moder-
ate tcmperaure for four or five days. When the flowers
become bluish white, pour oflr the fluid and replace with
a fresh solution of chloride of lime without soda. When
the flowers are quite white dry in a warm room or
oven. In all cases of dyeing, shake well after dipping
and dry in an airy room.

Some subjects and some of the dyes call for longer
stecpmg than others, but for flowers, no dyes should
be used hot.

Helichrysum

Strawflowers, good, bad, and indifferent, are features
among late Summer flowers, but with the exercise of
good culture and the selection of a reliable strain, there
is no reason why these flowers should be anything but
good. Varieties like Fireball, crimson; Snowball, white;
Golden Ball, yellow ; Rose Queen, rose ; Salmon Queen,
pink; and Violet Queen, rich purple, are all good repre-
sentatives of the modern Strawflower, Helichrysum.

Sown in the open ground or in frames and planted out
later ; given good cultivation and attention, the blooms
will almost rival Asters.

Old-fashioned people love everlasting flowers, and
when dried slowly in a cool shady place, they retain
their color for a long period.

Tied in bunches and hung head downward, they will
be in excellent shape with good straight stems.

Gomphrena

Gomphrena (Globe Amaranth) is really a perennial
and perhaps a trifle tender, although not so tender as
to deserve to be classed as a stove plant by old-time
writers. Sown early in the Spring, it makes a good
plant for cutting, the small button-like flowers of many
shades being useful for various purposes.

Helipterum

Acroclinium, now Helipterum, is another useful an-
nual everlasting, or as the French would say, Immor-
telles, although there are some perennial forms.

Growing about one foot tall and in a variety of pink
shades and white, it is a delightful little everlasting
Daisy. There are a number of species of Helipterum,
but the commercial strain is doubtless derived from
H. roseum. The species Manglesii, usually recognized
as Rodanthe Manglesii, is pink and makes a dandy little
pot plant for early Spring use.

Sown early in the year, and allowed to come up thick-
ly, the plants are just one big bunch of pink around
Easter time. Sown in the open in the Spring, it blooms
freely on slender stems.

The Immortelle

Xeranthemum annuum is not an easy name to pro-
nounce, and it has no popular name beyond Immortelle,
but it is easy to grow, is valuable for Winter use, the
flowers being smaller and in larger clusters than the
ordinary Strawflowers. These flowers are most useful
for dyeing; indeed, they are largely grown in Europe
for that purpose. Apart from these easily raised an-
nuals, there are not a few hardy perennials which might
well be handled. We know no particular reason why
they should not be popular here as in Europe for drying.

Useful Perennials

Gypsophila paniculata flore pleno is an excellent sub-
ject for drying ; it retains its character for many months.
The Sea Hollies, Eryngiuni and Globe Thistle, EchinopSj
are remarkable for their metallic blue flower heads, nor
should the well-known Winter Cherry. Physalis Alke-
kengi and Bunyardi be overlooked. They are easily
raised from seed and handled like any other perennial,
they will produce a crop the second and each succeed-
ing season.

Honesty

The beautiful biennial Honesty, Linaria annua, can be
raised from seed and flowered in one season and, for
Winter use, its remarkable seed pods are unlike any-
thing else. As a flower, it is a mere weed just a purple
sweet-scented Cabbage-like blossom, but the flat seed
pods that follow, hide a character that is not seen until
the outer husk is removed disclosing the silvery white
skin-like partition which has earned it the name of
Venus' Looking Glass in some quarters. Cut when just
ripe, and well dried, the outer husk can be rubbed off
easily. Some of the European merchants bleach the
stems and pods after the seeds are removed, but if har-
vested right and not affected by the soot fungous, they
are as pure as can be wished for. Sown now in a
frame and planted on good ground the plants will have
a chance to seed before the Fall.

Generally speaking, Summer sowing and carrying the
plants over the Winter gives better results as they
flower early and ripen before the Fall approaches.

n ardent wish to instill and foster this same love, as
J IS possible, in the hearts of the general public. While
1, Burrage is the possessor of the largest and most
[);)lete collection of exotic orchids in this country
ti- while he takes the greatest pleasure in their culti-
am and in giving his friends and the public all pos-
il! chances to admire their charms and beauty, he yet
ai warm spot in his heart for the more or less humble
i-ibers of the orchid family which inhabit our woods,
nips and bogs. When we use the word humble, we
,ciot mean to indicate that the native orchids are in
liway less beautiful or less to be admired than their
e ives from warmer climes; many of them are col-
r just as gorgeously and their forms are just as
lesting, often more so. What makes the jewels of
I native woods and silent swamp borders less con-
p jous is the fact that many circumstances have helped
J iminish their number almost to the point of total
jiction. There are 14 genera and 48 native species
i(irchids to be found in New England, their habitat
^ ? spread over all the old Colonial States and beyond
h- borders. They all belong, without exception, to
B jroup of terrestrial orchids, and their natural homes
.ifiecluded, dim areas of Pine and other woods; moist
II. vet spots in meadows, and the borders of swamps
i bogs. Some few species are found in dry situations,
n astures and among rocks. Those that live in the
V ds are doomed as soon as these woods fall before
b axe and the shade is abolished. The denizens of the
\ Tips and bogs or other moist stretches of land,
^ib with the drainage and cultivation of their home.
'i -"st fires and the indiscriminate uprooting of the
ij ts by commercial collectors or by a careless and
^ rant public and children, for the sake of taking
i(,ie the flowers, do the rest. So today the native
iliids, the choicest representatives of our native flora,
^ the doom of extinction if steps are not taken at
11 ; to save and multiply the few remnants of this, at

J time, widely distributed class of native plants.
ent Need for Preservation

is for the purpose of spreading needed knowledge
■\ appreciation of our native orchids, and the urgent
\ for the preservation of these plants, that the Ameri-
'■>. Orchid Society, under the devoted and earnest
elership of Mr. Burrage, has taken over the guardian-
ti and is trying, by all manner of means, to halt the
ll:ruction of the few remaining species and individuals
i: ar as possible, and to find ways for the introduction
i| he plants into the gardens of plant lovers, who will
1 that through cultivation and propagation, the species
t" be saved and the number of plants increased.

'Htil recently, the idea has prevailed that native or-
alis are hard to transplant, propagate and successfully
" ivate. No greater error has ever been entertained ;

I great majority of our native orchids, the most beau-
il ones among them, are fit subjects for cultivation
i[ their care is not more than that given any other
lilt in the garden. It is the plan of the American
j:hid Society to inform plant lovers of the proper
:! ural methods and to give aid to all who are inter-
■■'d in our native orchids.

Vi^ollection of 40 Species

_,Ir. Burrage has succeeded in accumulating a collec-

II of about 40 species and hopes to secure the remain-
» ones in due time. He has found their cultivation
1 5t interesting and the results obtained go far to prove

that our native orchids deserve far more attention from
plant lovers than they have hitherto received. But Mr.
Burrage has gone much farther in his investigations; he
has successfully forced the native orchids out of season,
and the exhibition in Horticultural Hall has demon-
strated the fact that it can he dune. He was able to
show about ij species, some of them represented by a
great number of plants, much ahead of their natural
season. Not only this, but species which naturally
flower months apart, were seen in all their glory, flower-
ing side by side. This feature has never been attempted
and ilr. Burrage deserves great credit for his painstak-
ing labors and the ingenuity displayed.

What the Future May Hold

Still more ambitious are Mr. Burrage's plans in re-
gard to the cross fertilizing and hybridizing of our na-
tive orchids. He enters here upon a field that is as yet
unexplored and where little has been attempted. No
one is able to forecast what may be awaiting the careful,
observant and intelligent worker in this direction. There
is really no reason why the hybridizer's efforts should
not be crowned with success, as they have been in the
case of exotic orchids.

The solemn woods had spread

Shadows around my head, —
"Curtains they are," I said,

"Hung dim and still about the house of prayer" ;

Softly among the limbs,

Turning the leaves of hymns,

I heard the winds, and asked if God were there.

No voice replied, but while I listening stood,

Sweet peace made holy hushes through the wood.

— Alice Gary, "The Sure Witness."
Old Memories

My good city friend, I know that in your memory still
linger the days when you were a boy, roaming over
fields, through tangled brush or in the silent pine forest.
You can never forget the sights and smells nor the
twitter and flight of birds, the darting and creeping
insects and the flowers, nodding to you wherever your
wanderings took you. You could not very well catch
the birds or their song, neither could you bring home a
big Spruce or Fir but, you would stop every now and
then, stoop down and pick one of the delicate flowers,
posies you called them then and, coming home with an
armful, you would surprise your mother who tenderly
placed them in the old-fashioned vases on table and
mantelpiece, to be admired for days to come not only
by you but by all your friends. And, once in a while,
you would bring home a wonderful, exquisite, strange
flower for the first time and your mother would ques-
tion you how far you had been that afternoon.. You
did not always tell, but she knew; she knew that the
delicate, little flower was a child of the deep forest or
that it grew near some far off swamp, too dangerous
for you to go near. How did she know? Well, wasn't
she young too, once? Didn't she too, in her carefree
youth, wander through wood and dell? She did — and
remembering — she forgot to scold you. But many a
glance went to the Lady's Slipper, Lady's Tresses or
Dead Man's Finger on the mantelshelf. You remember
too, and your memory is dear to you, so come with me.

A Woodland in the City

A few steps from the hard city pavement will land
jfou in the midst of your cherished, almost forgotten
land of dreams. From Massachusetts ave. we turn into
Horticultural Hall. One step into the big hall and oh I
the fragrance of the Pine woods! Is it real? It must
be, for you are walking on a thick carpet of soft Pine
needles, thick and soft, as you did long ago in your
woods at home and the woods are here too. Pines,
Spruces, Firs, Hemlocks, Junipers and Cedars. Not
little, sickly, dwarfed thin stumps, such as are seen in
front of porches, etc. No ! Tall, big trees, 3.5ft. high
and wide and a whole forest of them. Why ! You can-
not see through the thicket and yet everything so nat-
ural, not too thick or jammed. It is dim and shady here
and still and quiet but, hark! A bird is calling from
somewhere near and we see a path or two among the
trees. Come this way, see right there — that bright yel-
low sheen !

The Lady's Slippers

A colony of Cypripediums, the yellow Lady's Slipper,
C. parviflorum, var. pubescens, nestles near the path
under the branches of a tall White Pine. Its shoe-
shaped yellow flowers, with their twisted petals, look
as natural as possible and the handsome green leaves
show off from the brown Pine needles, sharp and clear.
The plants are growing in a large colony, a wood fern
here and there among them, snuggling up close to this

ur that plant. No! No! You can't pick the flowers,
you are too old now for boyish pranks. Here on the
other side a little ahead of us are more of the same.
Hut, no! They are different. These arc the small yel-
low Lady's Slippers, C. parviflorum, looking about the
same as the pubescens but with smaller flowers. And
there, around the bend, where the birds are still calling;
1 can see a glitter and glimmer like water. It is water;
trickling <lown fmni a spring up on the rocky bank,
trickling from one small basin to another until it col-
lects at the bottom in a rock and fern rimmed large
pool, which rests cool and pellucid among a tangle of
ilwarf Juniper and Taxus, growing from the crevices
between the moss covered rocks. But taller and more
stately are the spreading, deep-cut fronds of the Cinna-
mon Fern, Osinuiida cwiuiiiniiiiun and its grand and
graceful relative O. rcyiilii. Both are everywhere,
springing from hollows at the bottom of the dell and
growing up along the steep rocky banks, their feathery,
light green fronds in fine contrast to the sombre, dark
Cedars in the background.

Say! my friend, what makes you so interested into
the nooks and crannies of this idyllic, well remembered
spot in the deep woods? Are you looking for the birds
that are still singing or are you looking for that old
cocoanut shell, hidden somewhere, with which you used
to dip a cool drink from the pool ? If you can't find it
just stick your mouth into the water and take your fill,
its guaranteed-minus. Ah ! you have spotted among
the clumps of sedge grass, moss and creeping wood ferns
halfwav up the bank, a nest of the Beautiful Calypso
or Northern Calypso, Calypso hulbosa (borealis). How
the little flowers stick up from their deep mossy bed,
so cheerful, fresh and inquiring. The sepals and petals
are so delicately colored; rosy lavender; the pouch just
the right shade of pale yellow. Charming is the only
word. Maybe you brought some of these dainty jewels
home to your mother more than once.

That bright deep blue yonder, on tall stems, is that
an orchid? No, it is an Iris, growing on the water's
edge, and how well it fits into the scene. Here, and
there too, in clumps and singly, are some more of the
yellow Lady's Slippers. Look at this one, more than
25 flowers on one plant.

Here, too, is a bunch of the Mocassin Flower of our
childhood days, Cypripcditim acaule, the professors call
it. It suited us well enough to know it as the pink
Lady's Slipper. Didn't we find some big patches of it
in some of the clearings, where the trees always spread
a mantle of light shade.

A Rarity

Let us see what we have here, right across the path,
snuggling close to the Pine needles in the half shade
of this big Hemlock. You have never brought this
sprightly Httle flower home with you. Perhaps you
have, but you were lucky to find it, for it is the rarest
of our native orchids. It has a queer name too, but the
name fits finely; it is the Ram's Head Lady's Slipper,
Cypripcdium arientinum. A neat, cheery and modest
little plant, with flowers much resembling a ram's head.
The flowers come singly on the stem, petals and sepals
purple, mottled darker and the pouch white, veined and
covered with white woolly hairs. Altogether a beauty,
perfect yet quaint. Now a few steps farther, there,
where there seems to be more light and an open space.
Sure enough, here is the old meadow in the corner
of the wood pasture. You know! Where the brook,
way back, leaked in and left some swamps and bogholes.
Where your father never mowed the grass nor the
scrubby growth of bushes. Many a time you have been
here on sunny, sultry afternoons, when the grasshoppers
and crickets filled the air with their chirping. You
watched the butterflies and the devil's darning needles as
they scooted past your head. There, on that spot you
saw the biggest watersnake, ten yards long you told
your sister. It all comes back to you, eh? See! all
around are the dark masses of the forest, only here and
there a little opening or a low bank, rocky and fern
covered, partly shaded throughout the day. A small
pond lays like a patch of silver in the green meadow-
sward, there are Water Lilies in it and rushes, sedges
and tall ferns crowd and fringe the water's e'dge. Good
place for catfish, pollywogs and bullfrogs. Sure, it is.
You know well enough and do you remember the big
blue heron that nearly scared you to death one day?
Ah, my friend, it is good to be dreaming once in a
while.

Queen of Them All

Let us go near and see that big, glowing patch of
color among the shrubs and tall ferns. No wonder it
caught your eye. A glorious large colony of hundreds

New York Seed Trade

Business in the seed stores is booming—
we use the word advisedly. The demand
lor seeds of all kinds, for Summer flower-
ing bulbs and roots, for vegetable roots and
tubers, for Rose bushes, vines and small
nursery stock, for green vegetable and green
perennial flowering plants is extremely
large. There is a steady demand through-
out the day, and at certain hours of the
day the stores are crowded. Anyone in-
terested in and iu sympathy with the
seed business, even indirectly, when going
the rounds of the seed stores these days
cannot but catch the spirit of enthusiasm.
Furthermore, these heavy and steady
sales in the seed stores must be a reliable
indication that much attention is this
season being paid to horticu'lture, agricul-
ture and kindred occupations.

Theatre Party and Dinner

On the evening of Friday, April 22, the
lady employees of Koman J. Irwin, with
a few invited friends, went to see the
performance of "Sally," at the New Am-
sterdam Theatre. After the performance
the party of 15 were the guests of Mr.
Irwin at the Hotel St. Regis. This party
was a very happy atfair and greatly. en-
joyed by all who participated.

A placard hanging in the window of one
of our seedsmen, whose store is on a street
leading to a ferry, bears the following
legend :

"Good morning, sir! How about the
garden? You're in a hurry! So is the
garden.

"Just a moment — leave us your order
now and it will be ready this evening.
Saves your time and ours."

Such placards appear to us to be a very
good window advertising.

Even on the wet Saturday of April 23
Vaughan's Seed Store reports that it j
made a record sale for the season of green
perennial plants, of which it is now offer-
ing an extremely large variety.

Manetti and other Rose stocks and
fruit stocks, it is reported, are being of-
fered at about one-third the price for
which they were offered early last year.

The annual meeting of the French bulb
growers and shippers, at which prices are
fixed for the season on Paperwhite and
Soleil d'Or Narcissi, was held on Satur-
day, April 23, at Ollioules (Var) France.
American importers on Monday of this
week were anxiously awaiting cables from
their shippers, stating what the priced
will be this season, and some importers
received cables before the close of the
day. These cablegrams were dated April
25, and the prices which were quoted on
Paperwhite and Soleil d'Or Narcissi, as
fixed at the meeting, are greatly in ad-
vance of those quoted one year ago.

Roses of commercial size, both grafted
and on own roots, are now in increasingly
short supply. The general demand for
all stock of commercial size for growing
on is reported to be active.

The auction sales of the MacNiff Hor-
ticultural Co., on Friday of last week and
on Tuesday of this week, were attended
by an unusually large number, the ma-
jority of which were active and not a
few of them large buyers. An observa-
tion of these bi-weekly auction sales of
this company clearly indicates that there
is a pronounced revival of interest in
auction sales of all kinds of nursery stock.

Walter Barnwell, store manager for
Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers st., has been
at home on the sick list for several days
past.

David Don, formerly of the firm of
Weeber & Don, went into the Isolation
Hospital, near Oradell, N. J., last Friday,
with scarlet fever.

J. Dykhuis of Felix & Dykhuis, Bos-
koop, Holland, and Jac Smits of Jac
Smits & Co., Naarden, Holland, arrived
from that country on the steamship Ryn-
dam April 17. Both gentlemen will be

stopping at the Hotel McAlpin for several
days yet as they are somewhat ahead of
the season. Mr. Dykhuis, in addition to
representing his own firm as specialists in
fruit tree stocks, etc., also represents JE.
Turbat & Co., of Orleans, France, who
supply French grown fruit stocks, Fra-
telli Sgaravatti of Italy who are among
the largest growers of Myrobolan stocks
and Greens of Dereham, England for
English Manetti.

Mr. Smits is also representing, in addi-
tion to his own house, Hemeray Aubert
of Orleans, France.

From these gentlemen we gather that
Holland fruit tree stocks will be lower
tliis year than last, but so far as can be
foreseen there need be no surplus ex-
pected. All these stocks were sold close
up in 1920 with but two or three excep-
tions. The prices for French fruit stocks
are not fixed until about June 1 ; they
will be higher than the Dutch, but are
expected to be lower than the prices pre-
vailing in 1920.

Chicago Seed Trade

The retail seed trade which had a most
excellent start, got a considerable setback
the past week on account of unfavor-
able weather conditions. Early planted
Beets and Carrots in the Chicago trucking
district have suffered.

The death of Augustus H. Goodwin,
vice-president of the W. W. Barnard Co.,
is recorded in this week's obituary col-
umn. The passing of Mr. Goodwin with-
in the short period of less than five
weeks from that of W. W. Barnard, the
president of the company, is a remark-
ably sad coincidence in the history of
this well known house.

Guy French of the American Bult
Co., has returned from an extended trip
to the Pacific Coast. He reports the
production of many crops on the Coast
of certain lines of stock now prohibited
from importation. This will in some meas-
ure compensate for the loss of certain
lines of stock formerly imported from
Europe and other countries.

"Tools that take the backache out of
gardening" is the caption of the adver-
tising:; of Vaughan's Seed Store in the
local papers. Implements are carried in
stock suited in price and design for every
garden task — from cultivating a 10x10
patch in comfort, to the handling of a
100 acre tract. Ed. Goldenstein reports
the continued demand for Gladioli bulbs
as well as all other bulbs for Spring plant-
ing. In the seed department, Carl Sropp re-
ports the demand for flower seed very
good with a decrease in orders for gar-
den and vegetable seeds.

Ralph B. Howe has been appointed
president of the W. W. Barnard Co.
This is a deserved honor that the many
friends of Mr. Howe appreciate highly.
The store was closed Wednesday owing
to the funeral of the late A. M. Goodwin.

Dr. Franklin of the L. D. Waller Seed
Co., was in the city last week on his
way East to look into the condition of
the seed trade among the dealers in that
section. c, j /-i

Lester Morse of the Braslan Seed Co.,
San Jose, Cal., spent a few days here
on his return from an Eastern trip. The
garden seed business is, according to these
gentlemen, going through a period of re-
construction such as it has rarely if ever
before been called on to consider.

Boston Seed Trade

The seedsmen of Boston are unanimous
in their praise of this season's. trade so
far. Not only has the abnormally early
and favorable Spring season set business
going with a rush almost a month ahead
of the accustomed time, but the volume of

trade has exceeded all previous records.
New England is, par excellence, the coun-
try of homes, and homes mean gardens. The
ever increasing difficulty of finding suit-
able homes in the cities, since building
operations have been stopped, is driving
the flat dwellers to the suburbs and to the
nearby open country, where the long
wished for opportunity for raising chick-
ens and vegetables and flowers can be
indulged in to the heart's content. It is
a source of great satisfaction to the seeds-
man to have these new-fangled, ambitious
and enthusiastic near farmers clog up the

aisles of his store every hour of the day.
Notliing daunts the garden and chicken
crank; the list of what he is after is
long; his purse is full when he enters the
store, and he doesn't mind if it takes the
last cent before he makes tracks for
home, yes, only to come again tomorrow.
There are untold numbers of these gar-
den lovers and, for the seedsman, many a
nickle makes a muckle. Then it is not
only seeds that are wanted; implements
of all sorts, bulbs, shrubs and trees, bee-
hives and bird baths, etc., they are all on
the list. Many of the great and small

private estates, which have for a few
years been either entirely neglected or
I'un on a very restricted scale, are again
■ being put into commission, and help swell
the demand. The planting and laying out
of new lawns, boi'ders, shrubbery beds
and orchards is in full swing, labor being
plentiful at lower wages, and an enormous
amount of nursery stock is therefore sold.

Much credit must be given to the wo-
men's and garden clubs and to the ama-
teur gai'den literature for the suggestions,
encouragement and real help extended to
the helpless or bewildered beginner. In
Boston, especially, the numerous diversi-
fied horticultural shows also are very
beneficial in stimulating the desire for
getting a whack at digging in the soil.
The outlook for a continuance of good
business does not seem to be affected by
the fact that trade started much ahead of
time.

At the Joseph Breck & Son store a
much augmented sales force has been
pushed to the limit for a long time past.
This store does an immense business in
farm seeds and farming tools, it also car-
ries probably the largest stock of wooden
ware and poultry goods.

R. & J. Farquhar & Co. report tbe
biggest trade in years. The demand for
nursery stock from their big nurseries
has reached tremendous proportions and,
although the supply seemed almost un-
limited, it looks as if some lines would
soon be totally exhausted. The firm has
one of the most complete collections of
hardy perennials and rock plants in the
country at their large nursery in Dedham,
where the reporter on his visits has often

noticed from 40 to 50 automobiles
line, waiting to be served. The large gr
houses on tbe same tract are woi
overtime to supply the demand for
plants, etc., and from the other big :
sery, located down at the Cape, carle
of Farquhar's celebrated Rhododendi
are shipped.

The Thomas J. Gray Co. has a lifel
reputation as being the place where
market and private gardener can get
special strains of choice and pedigi
seeds and bulbs. Night work, and st
ing to the job on holidays, has for a 1
time been the rule. Sunday alone g:
relief from strenuous work. Seed P.
toes have always been a strong feat
with the firm, also Gladioli, Cam
Tuberoses and Caladiums. All tl
items are going stronger than ever,
tuberous Begonias, of which a good suj
of American grown stock is on hand, ]
willing buyers. A complete line of spi
ing utensils, insecticides and tools is
ways in evidence.

Philadelphia Seed Trade

The following advices from David I
pee of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. as to s
trade conditions in Philadelphia the %
four months emphasizes to a great deg»
the spirit of business activity which
pervaded the seed stores and mail or
nouses generally throughout that b
period:

"Farmers of course are not buying m-
this year. On the other hand, home |
deners are buying an unusually lai

?uantity of vegetable seeds. We h
ound in the past that whenever th'
were hard times, with large numbersf
people out of employment, there wai
tendency on the part of everyone »
economize and to grow more vegetables
their own backyards. Not only tl
when people are out of employment ti
of course have more time to put in til
gardens.

"During the war period our businessji
course, increased tremendously, but
increase was entirely in vegetable se(
I am glad to say that we have foi<
the demand for vegetable seeds to c
tinue and that on top of that people i*
buying flower seeds very extensively.

"This has been an early season w
us. The biggest increase we had
during January and February of t
year. The last Monday in February, t T
year, we took in exactly $8700 more
cash receipts than we did the correspo;
ing Monday of last year. The proporti'
ate increase has not been so great dur:
March and April, but still there has b(
an increase steadily, pretty nearly
the way through the year, and we belif
that the season will end up consideral ,
in advance of any previous year in c I
history." ;

Peas and Peas

The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture drav
attention to the danger of buying ai
sowing Peas without making sure of tl
reliability of the seller.

Last year the canners of Maryland ai
Delaware found that 30 per cent of the
1700 acres were planted to a spurioi
type.

The variety favored is Alaska, but
was proved that seed obtained fro:
Idaho and Washington was largely dihi
ed or wholly made up with a variel
which bore colored flowers. The see

S C.&J. "GOOD^LUCK" CANNAS «

Well established plants from 3-inch pots, ready now. Prices, f.o.b.. West Grove. This
stock is well and carefully grown, and will, we feel sure, give excellent satisfaction.

X THE PRESIDENT, the Grandest Red Canna in Existence

Height, 4 feet. In color, a rich, glowing scarlet, and the immense, firm, rounded flowers. 7 inches across
when open, are produced on strong, erect stalks well above the large, rich green foliage. "The President" is
superior to any other red variety in the quantity and also quality of bloom, and the firm flowers resist drought
and heat to a remarkable degree. A large bed of this variety was planted on the grounds of the Washington
Monument, Washington, D. C. Another "President" Canna bed was on the Garden Pier at Atlantic City,
while several more were to be seen in the largest public parks in this countrj', where these beautiful flowers
received the unqualified admiration of every Canna lover. Naturally, a tremendous demand has been created.
Strong roots ready now. Plants early in April. Price, S2.00 per 10, S15.00 per 100, S125.00 per 1000.

(Extract from the "Florist's Review," September 28, 1919).

"I have been much impressed with some of the new Cannas that I have tried this Sum-
mer, and cannot refrain from mentioning two. These are The President and Snow Queen-
President is by all odds the beat red Canna today, larger and better than Firebird and a free
bloomer; the foliage is strong and does not burn, as does that of Firebird. Those who have
tried Firebird and lamented that it would not do on account of diseased foliage will rejoice to
know that at last we have a Canna that is 'right.' " — Floyd BToXliar. "The most sensational
introduction of recent years." — From another firin's catalog.

xt month. On the other hand, if you
ed the bench space for other stock,
ike use of field culture. The heavier
ur soil the less water it needs and the
3re cultivation it requires; plants grown
such soil, even if small by the time
u want to bench them, are usually au-
■rior to such as have made a rank
owth in sandy soil.

I The Motor or Auto Cultivator

It will pay every florist who has a
iifdl nursery or stock in the field which
,s to be cultivated, to look into cultiva-
rs with motor power. There are sev-
al good makes on the market and sooner
later we all have to come to using
em. It doesn't pay to keep a horse
st for cultivating nor hire one; doing
e work by hand is out of date and too
•pensive. There are still some today
10 fought bravely against using a light
livery truck, but finally came to it. The
rmers today are not as yet all convinced
at a tractor is the only thing, but
sy will come to it. One man with a
)tor cultivator will replace three with
nd cultivators and do better work with
(s effort. Don't say you haven't enough
Itivating to do; why not do the little you
'.ve got and do it quickly and use the man

for something else? There is one mis-
take frequently made, not only with a
motor cultivator, but a truck or auto-
mobile. We expect too much and misuse
such a machine. Most light motor culti-
vators hav6 a plow attachment and can be
used for plowing, but to deeply plow a
large field of heavy soil with them is
wrong; use a good team for that as well
as the disking in Spring and use the
motor cultivator afterward. If used
right, kept clean and oiled up, such a ma-
chine is a blessing and a real labor saver
and as stated above, it will pay the
florist to get acquainted with the differ-
ent makes.

Pot Chrysanthemums

If you want to grow some of your
Chrysanthemums in pots, the object should
be to grow, or rather try to grow as
large a plant in as small a pot as pos-
sible. If you would want to shift the plants
every time they showed signs of being
pot bound one would have some awful
sized pots by Fall. Making use of a
good well manured loam for potting and
applying liquid cow manure for feeding
will to an extent, overcome shifting and
make the plants get along with a smaller
sized pot than would be possible other-
wise. If you have 2in. plants now which
are to have a shift, keep them pinched
back so as to obtain a bushy specimen
from the pot up. As good place as any
to carry pot plants during Summer, that
is, if you only want ordinary stock, is in
frames outdoors when you can plimge the
pots in up to their rims. The average
florist has no time to grow exhibition
plants which require an endless lot of at-
tention, but rather than grow the pot
plants on a bench in a house where they
are apt to suffer for the want of sufficient
moisture, it is easier to have them out-
doors and bring in about the end of Sep-
tember.

Flowering Begonias

Why not grow on a few Begonias for
flowering under glass during Summer and
next Winter? Such varieties as the old
favorite Metallica has not only beautiful
foliage but fine flower>« and Argentea
guttata. Otto Haeker and others are all
showy plants for indoors. Every retail

grower should always carry a good stock
of the different sizes of Begonia Gloire de
Chatelaine; it is one of the finest of all
everblooming sorts and you have use for
it right along. It will not take the place
of Cincinnati, nor is it intended for
that, but it is fine for in or outdoor
blooming. There are several sports of
this variety now, and all of them desir-
able. Your plants at this time are just
full of cuttings which root in a few days.
Take advantage of it and work up a good
stock to be used after you are through
with the bedding out. Plants from 2ir^in.
up to Sin. will come in most useful from
October up to Easter and a few good
specimens of some of the old timers will
always attract attention in the .show
house.

Buddleia variabilis and asiatica

You should always plant at least a few
Buddleias or Butterfly Bush for Summer
flowering. The flowers are lilac colored
and sweet scented, are excellent for cut-
ting and ideal for corsages or bouquets.
Even small plants put out now in the
field will give you flowers by July. Don't
overlook to plant also some Buddleia
asiatica for next Winter flowering in-
doors. Small stock now in 2s or 2^s kept
shifted and benched about the middle of
September in a Carnation house will do
nicely.

Bedding Stock

From now on everything grows, and
frequently so fast that we can't keep up
with it. It doesn't take stock long to
become worthless or make a spindly
growth if not shifted and given more
space. With Geraniums in 48, if you
want to prevent the loss of leaves and
a straggly growth, you must take time
to space the plants properly and practical-
ly the same holds good with other stock.
There is no gain at this time to shift a
Geranium, Heliotrope, Ageratum or Salvia
from a 2in. or 2%in. into a Sin. or 3^in.
pot; let them have a 4in. and be through
with it. If your double Petunias are get-
ting too tall, cut them back and use the
tops for cuttings; these will still make
nice plants in S^^s by the early part of
June. It is always best to provide

Petunias with a neat stake and the same
iioldfi good with large Heliotropes or
Fuchsias. Grow your Verbanas cold;
same holds good with the Salvias; the lat-
ter want a liberal sized pot, plenty of
apace between the plants and a cool house;
that makes for a short stocky growth
and early flower.s. Salvia in a 4in. pot
with a good sized flower spike sells again
as fast as one without it. Feed the vines
in small pots with liquid cow manure;
it will do a lot of good, and keep on tak-
ing cuttings of them as well as English
Ivies, to be planted out later on when
rooted.

Coleus

If you need Coleus for bedding, you can
pot up a rooted cutting by May 1 into
a 2^/^in. pot and have the right kind of
stock for planting out by June the first,
which is not too late. I doubt whether
the smaller retail grower can produce
rooted cuttings as cheaply as he can pur-
chase them from the specialist. The
Easter propagated stock now in 2^ in. or
31^ in. pots will come in handy for the
filling of vases and window boxes.

Seeds to Sow

There are just a few of the many de-
sirable socalled hardy flowering plants
which interest the average florist a little
more than others. Not that they are so
much superior, but they are among the
best for cut flowers, of easiest culture and
quickly grown from seed. If you have a
few feet to spare in a coldframe, it will
pay you right now to sow out a few rows
of each of the following across the frame.
In a couple of months from now, just
about the time you get over the Spring
rush, most of the seedlings will be ready
for transplanting and by Fall you will
have nicely established field plants on
hand. All of them will flower in early
Summer, 1922, and by that time you will
appreciate them. Coreopsis, Achillea,
Pyrethrum roseum, Gaillardia, Del-
phinium, Sweet William, Columbine,
Physostegia and Anchusa are all desirable
florist flowers and fine for cutting. Don't
wait until next July with sowing them;
do it now, they will germinate easier ancl
you will obtain larger plants by next
Fall. ^

A N^w Hybrid Magnolia

Said to be the first intentionally pro-
iced hybrid. Magnolia Veitchii was
varded the rare F. C. O. when shown at
f recent R. H. S. meeting in London. It
tis originated by crossing M. Campbelli,
e wonderful pink Himalayan species and
.e Yulan, M. conspicua. The flowers of
. Veitchii are larger than M. conspicua
it not so large as the other parent. The
'lor is deep rose on the lower half of the
ids which are long and pointed. It may
!; mentioned that M. Campbelli produced
!s first flower at Kew rhis season, after
1 matter of 20 years. It was introduced
1868.

Various Queries

(I). Please give directions for forcing
Jelphinium Belladonna under glass dur-
ig Winter. Our plants are being set
, 1 the field from 2% in. pots. Should
;umps be potted in Fall, or just lifted
nd planted in houses ? Give distance
or setting plants in benches.

(2). Is the Niza Chrysanthemum
dapted for growing outdoors for a com-
lercial cut flower?

'. (3). How should we handle the bulbs
f Gladioli, now in bud, so as to be able
J3 use them again? Could they be grown
■utdoors this Summer, or will they re-
uire a rest after flowering?

(4). Is there any particular fertilizer
or a light clay loam which is conducive
0 the production of long stems on Spen-
'T Sweet Peas, and at about what rate
■ it used?— D. A., Pa.

— (1). Lift the roots after they have
had a touch of frost. Plant straight onto
the benches in a practically cold house.
At no time run temperature above .55
deg. For one-year roots, I2in. apart will
suffice.

(2). This is a hardy variety and will
flower well outdoors. If frost threatens,
fix up a temporary burlap covering, or
prepare beforehand with a frame struc-
ture, roofed with some material like glass
cloth.

(3). To reserve bulbs for further
planting, no foliage should be cut with
flowers, or not more than one leaf should
be gathered. If in benches, lift carefully
and plant outdoors to ripen off. It is
doubtful whether they will ripen off
early enough to permit you to flower them
again this season. If properly dried off
and sound by July, they might restart,
for the bulbs will be new ones, but you
must not expect too much of them, al-
though a Potato will do it, and they are
both tubers.

(4). Unless the ground prior to plant-
ing has been well prepared and manured,
the plants will not make the roots that
induce strong gro\vth and long flower
stems. You can, however, wake up plants
that are running short stems through ex-
haustion by giving nitrate of potash,
one-half ounce to the gallon of water to
each yard run two or three times.

For general feeding, nothing beats sheep
manure and soot. Half a peck of each,
soaked in a barrel containing 36 gallons
of water, the fluid used at the rate of
one gallon to eight of water, used once
or twice a week, will do wonders, but
don't use ice cold water, as it induces

bud dropping. A good, steady, artificial
manure is a mixture of six pounds of
superphosphate of lime and three pounds
of sulphate of potash, used at the rate
of one ounce to the yard run. Keep away
from stems and well water in. Nitrate
of soda, one ounce to the gallon, given
occasionally, will help to keep growth
moving, but beware of overdoing it.

High Cost of Publication

In the "Bulletin" of the American
Dahlia Society of April we note a para-
graph headed 'Teak of Ridiculousness,"
in which the editor draws the conclusion
that the printers of New York have
reached through their unions the "peak
of ridiculousness," and that the photo-
engravei's and paper makers figure in the
same category. "The January 'Bulletin'
cost to produce," he says, "including set-
ting the type, making the engraviiigs,
printing and paper, over 18c. each. Think
of it! A little 32-page pamphlet costing
as much as the most pretentious magazine
did formerly!"

From the foregoing, our subscribers
will be alDle to form some idea of what
The Florists' Exchange and other trade
papers have been called upon to go
through and are still going through, in
the way of increased costs over the
normal.

However, one thing the editor of the
"Bulletin" should bear in mind is that
when his circulation reaches 10,000 an
issue, as we hope it will before long, the
average cost per copy of that publication
will be considerably reduced.

A Hand-List of Trees and Shrubs

To any plant lover visitmg the Walter
Peed General Hospital, Washington, D.
C, no souvenir can be more welcome
than' the Hand-List of Trees and Shrubs as
grown in the Arboretum of that institu-
tion. Compiled by David Lumsden, in-
structor in Botany and Landscape Art,
this 64 page book represents a wonderful-^ ^
amount of work carried out for the pur-
pose of stimulating interest in nature
among the officers, nurses, patients and
visitors. An elaborate, yet simple sys-
tem of enumeration is adopted. The vari-
ous subjects are grouped under their re-
spective orders and genera; botanical and
common names are given in separate lists
with brief descriptions and time of flow-
ering. The conifers are grouped under
a separate heading and it will doubtless
surprise many who receive this book, to
learn that the Ginkgo tree is a conifer
and the only representative of the genus.
From the remarks attached, we learn that
the Ginkgo is much in favor in Wash-
ington as an avenue tree. A complete list
of Roses as grown in the hospital garden
is also given, while an appendix gives a
list of all the birds both resident and mi-
gratory. It may be mentioned that the
Walter Reed Hospital is the largest gen-
eral hospital of the U. S. Army and the
garden connected with it is considered as
a direct aid in the restorative work. A
brief note relating to the hospital Rose
garden appears in the American Rose
Annual.

gained the impression that the goods were

A number of lawsuits have been insti-
tuted, but it would seem that little or
nothing will be gained by the injured
parties. _A11 this goes to show how im-
portant it is for a seedsman or grower
to know his subject. We opine an expert
would have "spotted" the rogue Alaskas
in the seed state, or at least observed
some strange characteristic soon after the

until the crop demonstrated that an agri-
cultural Pea was being handled.

Catalogs Received

Arthur A. Kirchhoff, Pembroke, N. Y. —
Deacriptive list of Gladioli as grown at Pembroke.
The list embraces a limited number of standard
varieties and a few raised by Wm. E. Ifirchhoff, Sr.
Prices obtainable on application.

James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y. — A de-
cidedly interesting and well gotten-up seed catalog.
Featuring Asters and various vegetables in color
on the covers, it is at once attractive. Several
novelties and specialties of apparent merit are

described, including Asters, Cerise Rochester,
Heart of France, and Peerless Yellow, Whipple's
Early Sweet Corn and Irondequoit Muskmelon.
Among plant novelties, the Hailstorm Violet which
bears white spotted flowers is a decided break,
while Amaryllis Peatree or Summer flowering Nar-
cissus arouses interest. Said to be a hardy bulb, it
bears creamy white flowers over a long period.
One doubts, however, its affinity to the ./Sanaryllis.
A full line of select vegetable and flower seeds is
offered while Summer flowering bulbs and roots
and various fruits are given attention.

Chester Jay Hunt, Inc., Little Falls, N. J. —
The Blue Book of Bulbs. A unique and perhaps the
most comprehensive list of Tulips and Daffodils
published in America. Compiled for the amateur

trade only. This concern evidently lays itself out
to attract interest in these Spring flowers by plant-
ing what may be termed a demonstration garden,
and issuing a catalog that describes in detail the
peculiarities of several hundreds of varieties. The
illustrations are particularly good, indeed, the
Blue Book is distinctly classy yet simple in appear-
ance. The list of Narcissi is the best we have seen
published here, embracing as it does, a large num-
ber of the modern varieties which the English and
Holland specialists have evolved in recent years,
although the most expensive variety offered does
not exceed S6, a modest sum where Daff'odils are
concerned. In addition, a select list of Hyacinths
and Crocus is embodied in the catalog while various
bedding plants are quoted.

Portland, Me. — Roland Barrows is en-
larging one of his greenhouses on lower
Main st. by building an extension of 65ft.
on the easterly side which, when com-
pleted, will make the total length 175ft.

Brockton, Mass. — J. E. Shield, who
has had supervision of the construction,
grading and planting of Keith Memorial

April and May cuttings are alway3 extra good
and if you are short of stock it will pay you to buy
at least a portion of what you need during April,
May and June.

I try and arrange propagation so that there is
no hardening up of the cuttings in the sand during
the hot months, and my customers consider these
Summer cuttings a good buy.

standard Padsages

Congressman Vestal, of Indiana, has
reintroduced his bill "to fix standards for
hampers, round stave baskets, and splint
baskets for fruits and vegetables." It has
been referred to the House Committee
on Coinage, Weights and Measures.

The bill provides that the standard
hampers for fruits and vegetables shall
be the one peck, half bushel, five-eighths
bushel, bushel and one and one-half
bushel. The standard one bushel hamper
is to contain 2,150.42 cubic inches, and
the other hampers are to be in propor-
tion. The quart standard dry measure
would have a capacity of 67.2 cubic
inches.

Section 2 provides that the standard
round stave baskets for fruits and vege-
tables shall be one-half bushel, five-eighths
bushel, one bushel, one and one-half
bushel and two bushel baskets. The one
bushel basket is to have 1,075.21 cubic
inches of space, the others being in pro-
portion.

The plain splint baskets are to be of
four quarts, eight quarts, 12 quarts, 16
quarts and 24 quarts capacity, dry meas-
ure.

The Secretary of Agriculture would
have authority to prescribe such toler-
ances as he may find necessary to allow in
the capacities and specifications, in order
to provide for reasonable variations oc-
curring m the course of manufacture and
handling.

Under the terms of the Vestal bill, if
passed, it would be unlawful to manufac-
ture for sale or ship in interestate com-
merce any hampers or baskets not con-
forming to the provisions referred to, and
violations would be subject to fines of not
exceeding $100, imprisonment not exceed-
ing 60 days, or both.

The proposed law would not be applic-
able to exports, unless contrary to the
laws of the coimtry of destination.
Price of Anthracite

Representative Linthicum, of Mary-
land, has introduced a resolution in the
House calling on the Attorney-General to
furnish information as to the reasonable-
ness of present prices of from $14 to $16
per ton to the consumers of anthracite
coal; whether or not these apparently
exorbitant prices are maintained by un-
fair methods or illegal combinations of
operators and dealers, and whether there
IS sufficient legislation to enable the Grov-
ernment to handle and control the present
anthracite coal situation, and, if not
what additional laws should be enacted
at this time.

Mr. Linthicum states that he took the
matter up with the Attorney-General by
letter, but failed to receive any reply.
"It has been charged, and there seems
reason to believe that the anthracite coal
of the country is controlled by a very
close monopoly, and that only through
this monopoly is the price maintained at
such unfair levels," he said. "The Senate
investigation produced no information as
to the anthracite situation, other than to
show charges that unfair practices were
bemg carried on in Washington by the
retail dealers."

"If there is a monopoly," concluded Mr
Linthicum, "Congress should take steps
to expose it and then to deal with it in
the interests of the consumer. To per-
mit the price of an essential to remain so
high at a time like now is a manifest in-
justice." E. A. D.

Trade Outlook

Greenhouse stocks are in excellent
condition, but outdoor lines have been hav-
ing a hard time of it as a result of 57 va-
rieties of weather. Heavy rains and hail-
storms have been heavier and more nu-
merous in the State this year than usual.
Hea\T frosts, too, have been experienced,
most of the fruit having been damaged.
Florists at Dinner

An interesting dinner and monthly
meeting was held by the Kentucky So-
ciety of Florists, a few evenings ago, at
the Watterson Hotel, there being 70 in
attendance. One of the most interesting
features of the evening; in fact, one of
the best talks the association has ever
heard, came ferom Jim Pearson of
Bradstreet's, who talked on mercantile

and general credits. He declared that
the florists were the poorest credit men
in the business world. He called atten-
tion to the fact that the average florist
charges anything for anyone, without
proper investigation of the credit stand-
ing, and held that this should be more
closely watched, as they are giving away
profits, and at times dipping into capital
through not making overhead where losses
are heavy.

A. Baurmann, a former member of the
organization, who has returned to Louis-
ville after some months spent in Germany,
Holland and France, told of conditions
there and how much better off the Ameri-
can citizen is than the European. He
reported that on his income for a period
of six months in Germany, while he was
at work, the tax on his income alone
amounted to about $250 in American
money. At the same time he compared
prices of various commodities in America
and Europe, and reported that Tulips
were selling for as much as 25c. a bloom.
He stated that he was mighty glad to get
back home again. He had had all he ever
wanted of Europe.

Anders Rasmussen, who is noted for his
wit, pulled off a few stories that went
well with the crowd. The entertainment
committee had arranged so that man and
wife should not be seated at the table in
adjoining seats. Mr. and Mrs. Rasmus-
sen came late, and Mr. Rasmussen in-
sisted on sitting with his wife. He
claimed that the entertainment commit-
tee had pulled a boner, in view of the
fact that the Bible and the marriage
vows say: "That which God hath joined
together, let no man put assunder."
General News

Numerous complaints have been
received by some of the florists in the
past few weeks relative to flowers de-
livered to some hospitals not being de-
livered to the patients for whom they are
sent. In such eases, there is nothing for
the florist to do but deliver a duplicate
of the order, make an investigation at
the hospital through the authorities, and
endeavor to bring pressure to bear so
that merchandise will go to the person to
whom it IS sent. Flowers and plants are
delivered to the hospital, the authorities
not permitting delivery direct to patients.
In some cases, flowers are carried over to
the nurses' homes for their own use, in-
stead of going to the patients. In other
cases, a nurse may take the flowers to
some other patient, who happens to be a
pet. This sort of thing is unfair and
unjust, as the florist is the one who
suffers.

It has been suggested that the florist
delivery man secure a receipt for de-
livery of the flowers from the hospital,
and hold this receipt. It is then up to
the hospital to produce the flowers or pay
for the second order. However, if a test
case were to be made, it might cause
complications. Nevertheless, patients at
a hospital, who are paying high rates for
rooms and attention, should be able to
control the matter.

Matt Schilz, of the Ove Gnatt Co., La
Porte, Ind., and Mr. Carpenter, of the
A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, were recent
visitors to Louisville.

Anders Rasmussen, of New Albany, is
out again after having been ill for a few
days.

Lancaster, Pa.

The retail end of the business con-
tinues good, with prices moderated along
some lines.

The B. F. Barr Co. had the decorations
for the opening of the new home for the
Knights of Columbus, and report funeral
work plentiful and a few weddings.

H. A. Schroyer is still sojourning at Hot
Springs, Va., but his business is going as
usual.

The markets are beginning to be filled
with good flowers and some hardy plants,
but as yet there is very little in the way
of planting outside of Pansies.

Roses were discussed at the horticul-
tural branch of the Iris Club the past
week and their flower show will be held
May 25, with amateur exhibits only.

Mrs. Albert M. Herrgave a talk on
backyard gardens before the Mothers'
Club of this city and distributed collec-
tions of seeds to those present. This had
front page publicity and helps keep up
the interest in flowers.

The Lancaster Co. Florists Association

A dinner meeting of this association
was held at the Penn Square restaurant

with a goodly number of the members
present, accompanied by their wives and
sweethearts.

H. K. Rohrer and A. Rohrer donated
a bunch of Sweet Peas for each of the
ladies and A. F. Strickler furnished cut
lulips for the tables.

B F. Barr was appointed chairman of
the flower show committee, with power to
select his own associates.

The Griimn & Gorley list. of flowers for
birthdays by months was approved.

For the drive for membership in the
A lu A'. •^Jr""''' """eaver, B. F. Barr and
Albert M. Herr were appointed as a com-
mittee.

A "^t*^^ &^ routine business was finished
Arthur Niessen of Philadelphia was in-
'S.'l"'^, • , ^^ opened his remarks with
Whats the matter with our business?"
and answered the question with "Noth-
ing. He said in brief that we should be
more than satisfied with our business when
we stop to compare it with other lines
using as illustrations the large lines of
leather which had a surplus of §32,000,-
000, all of which had disappeared in
18 months; copper, with an income tax of
between §200,000 and §300,000— now
none; and farm products, the prices
of which have been cut in two. No such
conditions exist in the florists' business,
as, fortunately for us, our stock is perish-
able and has to be disposed of as pro-
duced, leaving no surplus of high priced
nierohandise on our shelves to be disposed
of at a loss. Mr. Niessen further stated
that our business today is in a healthier
condition than previous to the war, prices
being high enough to legitimately take
care of the increased costs of production.
In nearly all lines of business today there
are men being laid off, shops working part
time, while we are adding to our working
forces and increasing rather than decreas-
ing our production, and not decreasing the
pay of our employees, a fact that will go
a long way toward taking us out of the
non-essential class, to which we were rele-
gated during the war.

The increase in glass area for the past
year has been low, only about 5 per cent,
but idle greenhouses were again put into
use and production increased. In spite of
this, however, every month of the past
year, excepting February, showed an in-
crease in business over the year preceding
it (in the Niessen establislmient.) With-
out any increase in the glass area which
IS not needed, increased production should
be followed up by every grower, and the
waste places which are found in almost
any establishment, made to produce good
stock. Good stock always sells; it is the
poorer grades of stock that keep the mar-
ket price down in a wholesale way.

Bulbs the past Easter were badly over-
done, owing to the fact that the bulb
men loaded up every one to full capacity.
Many growers who never grew bulbs went
into them heavily, and others with a mar-
ket for 500, planted 50,000, the result
naturally being a loss, whereas, if the
grower had consulted with his commission
man, this loss could have been averted.

Side lines for the specialist are not
usually a good thing as they are often
neglected and the result is a lot of poor
stock that helps break the market.

After producing stock the next thing is
to sell it and the way to sell it is to ad-
vertise. Advertising without unity is of
little value. The grower who is at pres-
ent supplying about 80 per cent of the
money used for this purpose should have
more of a voice in the spending of the
money. When flowers are plentiful, the
public should be made aware of this fact,
so that the customer who received a very
small lot of flowers at Easter for §10
would know that he could now get just as
many, or more, for half to one-third of
that amount. When flowers are scarce
and higher priced, use facts in your ad-
vertising, telling the public the amount of
coal, labor and care it takes to produce
them and they will respond with their
trade.

Cooperation in selling is not possible,
as supply and demand will govern the
market every day of the year. The store
man and street fakir is going to buy as
cheaplyas he can, and the grower wlio is
wise will help with his money and his
counsel to create a market for his prod-
ucts, the same as the California Orange
men have done with their Sunkist Oranges.
Some years back Gardenias were coming
into Philadelphia in quantity and the
stores did not push their sales, so that in

self defense the commission men had t
put them out to the street fakirs, wit
the result that Market and Chestnu
streets were lined with Gardenias. In .
few days the store men were clamorin,
for them to supply the demand from thei ,
better class of customers.

The windup of Mr. Niessen's talk wa
a plea to do your duty to your plants
your greenhouse, your family, your busi
ness and your fellowmen and affiliate witl
the National Society. A rising vote o:
thanks was tendered to Mr. Niessen foi
his very valuable talk.

'The program committee had five prizei
which were given to the following ladies
their names being drawn from a hat;
Mrs. J. Ralph Hess, Mrs. Rudolph Nagle
Mrs. J. Wade Galey, Mrs. J. Rutter Hes!
and Miss May Brenneman.

Mrs. Albert M. Herr invited the clul
to visit the amateur flower show whicli
will be held May 25, at the Iris Club,.
imder the auspices of the Horticultural
Department, of which she is chairman.

'The meeting adjourned about 10.30 p.m.
to meet at the Brunswick on May 19.

AMERICAN LEGION ROSE

Record Up to Date: Silver Medal, Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, November, 1920.
First Prize, New Variety, not Disseminated, November, 1920.
Silver Medal, International Rose Show, New York, 1921.

A new color. Cerise, said to be by the retailers of
New York, the most brilliant color on exhibition.

Free from Black Spot and Mildew and a Wonderful Producer

What one of our Wholesale
Commission Men says about it:

Mr. Edward Towill,
Roslyn, Penna.

Dear Sir:

We were particularly
pleased with your new Rose the
"American Legion," and our only
regret was that we did not have
more of them. The people that
handled them were very much
pleased, and I might suggest
that it would be a good proposi-
tion if you would plant your
whole place with that variety
for another year.

You will note the price
it brought came very close to
that of the "American Beauty,"
and being such a prolific pro-
ducer, it certainly should be a
money-maker.

Yours very truly,

EDWARD REID.

What one of our largest Retailers
says of it:

Mr. Edward Towill,
Roslyn, Penna.

Dear Sir:

Just a word to tell you
how pleased we are with your new
Rose, "American Legion." We
have been handling cut flowers
of it since last fall when you
commenced putting them on the
market, and we are very much im-
pressed with the lovely bright
color, and more so with its
keeping qualities — and what is
more to the point, our customers
buy it and like it and commend
it to us. We thought the flow-
ers on the plant were beautiful
when we were at your place just
before Christmas, and feel sure
you have a coming Rose.

Yours very truly,

PENNOCK BROTHERS.

Tulip Variety Planting Extra-
ordinary

What may be accomplished in the way
E interesting the people at large in any
Qe particular horticultural direction
ad, following that, gaining their
rders, is strikingly represented in the
ise of Chester Jay Hxmt, Inc., Mayfair,
ittle Falls, N. J., whose 1921 catalog.
The Blue Book of Bulbs," has just
cached our hands. It is comparatively

few years since Mr. Hunt started to
lecialize in bulbs, working with an eye
i amateur trade only. To date he has
een most successful, and a slight resume
i the extent of his plantings should give
iir readers a fair idea of the manner in
■hieh he is able to practically demon-
irate to his customers the value of his
ulbs, single, in groups or in collections,
3 to their various qualifications.

An idea of what was planted for the
iason 1921 may be gained from the fact
aat the following types of Tulips were
3t out: 79 early, 10 midseason, 24 dou-

bles, 75 Cottage, 126 Darwins, 18 Rem-
brandts, 76 Breeders, 14 Byblcemens and
Biaarrea, 5 Parrot and 7 species, making
a total of 434 varieties. A total of
17,143 bulbs were planted. Of Narcissi,
there were set out 175 varieties, with a
total of 15,526 bulbs. The Karcissus dis-
play, unfortunately, was interfered with
by the severe frost which followed Easter
Sunday, and as good a display as is usual
was impossible.

Hundreds of automobiles come to May-
fair to inspect the Tulip plantings. For
instance, last Simday (April 24) over 300
automobile parties visited the grounds.
It was some job to park the automobiles,
and more job to take care of the people,
because bulb plantings do not cover much
ground. To keep out mischief makers,
the company decided to charge an admis-
sion fee of 20c. for each person, this to
be refunded on a dollar purchase. The
idea works out fairly well, but does not
stop the people. Possibly, if the crowds
keep coming in the same nxmibers as this
season, some further restriction may be
found necessary.

"The Blue Book of Bulbs" is most in-
teresting and is said to be one of the most
distinct and reliable catalogs as to color,
names, height of flowering bulbs and best
purpose to use, ever issued. Mr. Himt
sells at retail only.

A recent article in The Exchange,
page 854, on the Tulip display at the New
York Botanical Garden, stated that in
two collections of Tulips there planted,
there were over 32,800 bulbs and, allow-
ing for duplication, some 335 varieties.
The collection of Chester Jay Himt, Inc.,
while less than half that quartity of
bulbs, foots up 434 varieties.

Tulip Display at the New York
Botanical Garden

Vegetation this year, owing to the un-
usually early warm weather, is far in
advance of normal. This applies not
only to shriibs and trees, but Tulips also.
The Darwin and Cottage Tulips form
the greater part of this Tulip display

and usually are at their best here from
the middle of May to the first of June.
This year, however, the earlier varieties
are now, April 21, in bloom, so that the
next two or three weeks will see the
flowering of the entire collection. The
display will probably be finished at
about the beginning of the flowering
period of these Tulips in normal years.

There are two displays of Tulips; one
located in the beds in the court of con-
servatory range 1, but a short distance
from the terminus of the Third Avenue
Elevated, the other in the Horticultural
Gardens on the Southern Boulevard, al-
most opposite Fordham Hospital.

Novel Inducement for Saving

The People's Saving and Trust Co. of
Pittsburgh, with a view to encouraging
new business, has been featuring a display
of garden apparatus in its window.
Seeds, etc., have been given as an induce-
ment to those opening accounts.

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

Those Taxes

We all feel like kicking and criticising
the people -who devise and put upon us the
various forms of taxation, and maybe we
have reasons for it if the authoritive
figures quoted in some places are to be
accepted as proof of the iniquity of our
system of taxation. We don't, for in-
stance, have the pleasure of knowing just
what the Federal Government may be
spending, because we have no budget sys-
tem; perhaps that saves us many a heart-
ache. In Great Britain, the budget sys-
tem permits the harassed taxpayer to see
what he ia in for, and when we read that
the Imperial Parliamentary Budget for the
coming fiscal year is fixed at £1,038,694,-
000, normally about $5,190,000,000 (the
odd figures don't matter), and remember
this is spread among some 40,000,000
people, plus local taxes, county taxes and
60 forth, we figuratively scratch and^ won-
der whether the dream of the socialist,
t. e., tax up to 100 per cent, is to be the
outcome of civilization.

Near Beer

This is always a feature during the re-
cess at the N. Y. Florists Club meetings.
On the last occasion, P. W. Popp got hold
of a bottle that was nearer the real thing
than usual; in fact, it had such kicking
powers that when he seized hold of it,
the contents came out with a rush and
nearly blinded him. Being a "plucked un"
P. W. P. held on and dared it to do its
darndest.

Primulas or Auriculas

In perusing the able report of the Bos-
ton show, I observe reference is made to
a group of Primulas (Auriculas) and I am
wondering whether these were the true
old-time florists* Auriculas, the cultiva-
tion of which, even in Europe, is in the
hands of very few. I am not referring to
the smooth-leaved, so-called alpine Auricu-
la, but the true florists' large-flowered
type which calls for the protection of a
frame or cold house. With their wonder-
ful mealy foliage and remarkable clear
cut flowers, many of them of varying de-
grees of green, they are plants that cause
the average individual to marvel. Some
of them are as rare and as valuable as
orchids, and have an origin dating back
100 or more years. Their slowness of in-
crease and the changing fashions of the
past 50 years or so, is doubtless responsi-
ble for their lack of popularity, but in
the days of long ago the Auricula, like
the Verbena and English Tulip, was a
flower to conjure with among the old-time
British and Scotch florists. Practically
all those old timers have ceased to exist,
and so far as I am aware, only James
Douglas, son of the famous James Doug-
las, IS still engaged in raising Auriculas.

An exhibit such as he can set up when
the season is right is well calculated to
make any "five minutes expert" realize
that here, at least, is a plant that would
test his caliber.

Incidentally, it may be said that a few
of the old British Tulips, with their
strange markings, are still grown, but of
the Verbenas such as Henry Eckford used
to raise and grow before he took up Sweet
Peas, not one remains. That famous old
timer, some 20 or more years ago, as-
sured me that the Verbenas as I knew
them were as weeds compared with what
were grown in the early part of the 19th
century.

Daffodils in California

We have heard of efforts being made to
grow bulbs in California, and have heard,
too, that at least one concern went into
Daffodils heavily, and finally gave them
up. But we were not exactly informed as
to the why and wherefore.

Some daylight is shed upon the matter
through a note written by a British trav-
eler, in the Horticultural Advertiser.
Writing from Santa Cruz he says:
"Daffodils succeed well here in private
gardens; even small bulbs flower well, but
their culture commercially has been given
up by those who have tried it on account
of the ravages of the Narcissus fly
(Merodon equestris) . Paperwhites, which
are immime from this pest, are grown by
the acre both for cut flowers and bulbs,
and succeed very well, but I can find no
record of Roman Hyacinths having been
tried here."

If California has the Daffodil fly, it was
surely imported in the bulbs, and if the
pest beats the growers, it indicates that
it either revels in the climate of Cali-
fornia or that no real efforts are made to
go after it.

Saying It With

A British seaman at Shanghai went to
the foreigners' cemetery to lay a wreath
on the grave of a comrade. On the way
he met a native carrying a pot of Rice.
"Hello, John," he barked, "where are you
going with that?"

"Oh," said the chinaman, "I takee to
put on glave of flen."

"That so?" grinne'd Jack, "and when
do you expect your friend to come up and
eat it?"

"Allee same time your flen come up to
smellee your flowers," blandly replied
John,

Breeiling Carnations

C. H. Connor, of the New Jersey Ex-
periment Station, has been devoting no
little attention to the above subject, and
his hints and general remarks are both
interesting and instructive.

There are, he says, two seasons of the
year when crossing is successful, Septem-
ber to mid December and April to mid
June. According to his own tests, the first
period will yield 80 to 100 per cent suc-
cess; the latter period about 75 per cent.
Seed obtained the September-December
crosses can often be sown and flowered
the following Summer; a decided gain.

While the factor of doubling proves to
be a Mendelian character. Mr. Connor
has not yet evolved strains that will come
true to color from seed. He mentions,
however, that one worker, who has spent
seven years on the problem of pure
strains, is just now seeing success.

Maybe that worker sees success with his
mind's eye, for when one considers the
complex origin of the modern Carnation,
there does not seem much probability of
their coming true from seed. Mr. Con-
nor remarks that a white which shows
no hint of color generally comes true from
seed, but all other colors are much mixed.
Personally, I doubt whether even the
whites are free enough from color factors
to permit the crossing of two varieties
without color appearing in the seedlings.

Being of hybrid origin. Carnations are
likely to always prove impure from seed,
but what matters? If a real good seed-
ling is raised it is easily propagated.

Substitutes for Glass

The first garden frame this writer made
consisted of a French egg-box, glazed with
oiled calico. This primitive outfit was
the outcome of a kid's desire, and it was
heated with a two-cent lamp.

Ever since those days, the value of a
cheap, really serviceable substitute for
glass has to me been apparent.

Twenty years or so ago, specially pre-
pared paper was introduced for the pur-
pose, and many a bedding plant was
sheltered, and many the Sweet Peas did I
shade with it, but for all that, neither of
these materials were perfect because of
the yellow tint due to the oil treatment.

Du'ring the war, a new substance called
Spondite was introduced, this being a
transparent sheeting of cellulose em-
bodied with fine wire mesh. In cost, this
material is about the same as glass, but
it has features sufficiently good to induce
the British Chamber of Horticulture to
decide upon a test greenhouse in which
scientific experiments will be carried out.
Some commercial growers are already
using it for temporary structures for
hastening certain crops; According to the
inventors, Spondite is a greater non-
conductor of heat and cold than glass.

A still newer substitute, called Glass
Cloth, has recently come to my notice, this
being a domestic product. The sample
before me shows it to be a waxed cloth
sufficiently transparent to permit one to
read through it when laid upon print.

It is wind and waterproof; practically
white, and even when folded, the protec-
tive material does not crack off. The
manufacturers recommend it for tempo-
rary structures and frame sash and for
hardening off plants or raising seedlings.
I cannot conceive a better material. I
am hoping to give it a thorough tryout,
but, in the meantime, anyone may obtain
a sample, 3ft. x 9ft., for ?1 from Turner
Bros., Bladen, Neb.

Bird Seeils (or Washington

Among the required seeds at Washing-
ton I note are Canary, Hemp, Millet and
Maw, all I believe used for cage birds.

Are we to assume that these seeds are
for use in the government aviaries, or is
it possible that our legislators find a little
bird seed helpful to give them "song?"

The A. A. N. As It Might Be

A writer in The National Nurseryman
submits a skit which may or may not be
complimentary. It is the record of a
dream, the relator being a modern pil-
grim who, in his progress, reaches a
wondrous palace — the home of the A. A.
N. His pilot shows him many things, in-
cluding the Trade Mark Label, without
which, no nurseryman may sell trees or
plants. "Trees bearing this label," said
the pilot "are absolutely trustworthy; true
to name, thrifty, healthy, and well rooted;
insect proof, blight proof, drought proof,
rust proof, disease proof, transportation
proof and fool proof. The rains and
dews from heaven favor them above all
others, and when they are planted, they
adjust their roots automatically to the
proper position so that they always live
and thrive." Further the pilot says, "A
method is now being devised whereby^ it
will be possible to have trees bearing
this label, propel themselves both in
boxes and bales across country to the
purchaser's premises, thus saving the
risks and expense of shipment." The nar-
rator at this point woke up.

Scab in Potatoes

The common scab of Potatoes is fa-
miliar to all, and so well has its powers
of spoilition been made known, that no
seedsman would venture to handle affect-
ed tubers for seed purposes. Even the
housewife fights shy of purchasing scabby
Potatoes.

The New Jersey Experiment Station
Bulletin deals with this disease and men-
tions that it is always caused by one of
the higher forms of bacteria, soil condi-
tions encouraging it to a greater or lesser
degree. This writer has known lime,
ashes and manure to influence the disease,
but I have never worked a soil severely
affected. As a matter of fact, I have
oftentimes limed soil for Potatoes, be-
cause a netted or scabby skinned Potato
is invariably of good quality.

I have grown Potatoes on chalk land,
which for quality could not be equalled
on sandy soil, but scab was never trou-
blesome.

The New Jersey authorities state that
the disease varies from a very slight rus-
setting to pronounced roughness, but if
the rough netted skin, natural to some
varieties, is classed as scab, I openly
differ. Moreover, when I see Potatoes
with netted skin I know the quality is
there, and for this reason alone I would
like a sample of the Golden Wonder
grown at the Pennsylvania trials.

It may be mentioned h°re, the New
Jersey authorities recommend dipping
the seed sets in formaldehyde and treat-
ing infested soil with sulphur.

In England, Dr. Millard of Leeds Uni-
versity reports that grass clippings or
green stuff of any kind plowed in will act
as a decoy host for the scab organism and
ensure a clean crop.

The Value of Root Pruning

Those who may have never realized the
value of root pruning of nursery stock
will surely have an insight into things
after perusing the details of procedure as
adopted at the Hicks Nurseries. And yet,
after all, there is nothing new in the
subject of root pruning. The Hicks Nur-
series have merely adopted modern meth-
ods, with a view to getting the same re-
sults as have been obtained in Europe for
centuries by the more strenuous system
of transplanting. Constant transplanting
of nursery stock, including fruit trees,
has long been recognized as the only
method for encouraging fibrous rooting,
which in fruit trees means fruitfulness.

One of the reasons why Bush and Cor-
don Apples and Pears are so popular for
small gardens is that, apart from being
worked on Stocks which encourage early
fruiting, they are transplanted several
times in order to develop a dense, shallow
rooting system.

Neglect to lift during the first three or
four years means sparse rooting, and
oftentimes wild wood, which will not pro-
duce what the buyer desires — fruit in
quick time.
The Science of Plant Growing

Many interesting facts are brought out
in the address by P. A. Lehenbauer, as
published in recent issues of The Ex-
change. In some instances, these facts
are more or less common knowledge to
the practical plant grower who has

watched things and studied the reporl ;
of the numerous scientific workers i ,
various parts of the world. The mult
tude of books and the press afford ever:
one an opportunity of watching moder
progress, although it must be confesse ''
that to keep a tab on all these books an
reports is beyond the ability of anyon
who grows plants for a living.

One is, however, inclined to wonde
whether the discovery of the factors ii
volved in the formation of roots on cui
tings will help us. In the main, we knoi
the conditions that encourage roots, an^
if they fail to root, we are fairly saf
in assmning that those conditions hav
not been met, unless as is sometimes th
case, we are handling a subject that i
naturally difficult to root. The wherefor
of such difficulty is imdoubtedly a matte
for the scientist to study, but we ma;
assume it is just one of those comple:
factors that govern the health of every
thing that lives.

Some of us may cut our fingers an<
the wound heals without difficulty; other
have the greatest trouble with even
scratch.

Some can handle Poison Ivy or Primulj
obeonica with impunity; others dare nc
go near them.

One of my friends formerly had nti
trouble with Primulas; now he dare nO'
touch them. Another has always beei'
so susceptible that he dare not handle
any recognizably poisonous plant, anc
when stung by a bee on one occasion, h(t
was dead to the world for an hour, evei'
the doctor declaring him "finished" a'
first glance. Why this thusness ?

So far as the study of the effect of i
lection of cuttings is concerned, the
modem commercial man knows it is o)
utmost importance. We know that selee
tion means not only keeping stock up tci
the scratch, but even improves it. Therti
is nothing impracticable about it, noj!
scientific; it is just plain common se
method.

Regarding the importance of bacteria '
this has long ceased to be a question foi
doubt. Scientists the world over have
been delving into this subject, and even
the average gardener has had the oppor-
tunity of proving the existence of such
bacteria.

It must be more than a dozen yeare
ago since I heard Dr. Kussell describe ,
how the good and bad bacteria made for
success or failure. It is years since bac-
teria for Legumes came into vogue, al-
though one must own that the cultures
have not become regularly used. Steam
sterilization has been practiced by some,
for something like a score of years, and
chemical sterilization has, in Europe,
been developed to a great extent. Com-
mercial growers use these' fluids and pow-
ders in large quantities both for fimgus
and insect pests. This writer has seen the
beds in Tomato houses well soaked an-
nually with chemical sterilizing flmd with
excellent results, after disease had made
it impossible to secure a full crop. These
powerful fluids cannot, of course, be used
among growing plants. One most inter-
esting disclosure by Prof. Lehenbauer is
that relating to the sensitiveness of gas.

Everyone is aware that gas means
death to plants, but the fact that plants
can detect it in such minute quantities
is only discoverable through experiments
as made at Urbana, 111.

Many a grower has doubtless suffered
through gas without being able to dis-
cover the cause.

Peach Trees Injured by Freezing

From a New Jersey State bulletin we
learn that much wood on Peach trees
was injured by the severe freeze in
March, the young trees being most af-
fected. The injury may be readily de-
tected if the twigs are cut; the wood
just beneath the inner bark being dis-
colored. Where the sap wood is mark-
edly discolored, it usually indicates that
the previous season's layer of wood will
die and that a layer of new wood will
grow over it. Old trees that have been
severely frozen several times will show
alternate layers of live and dead wood
when sawn through. Growers are ad-
vised to examine their trees and where
the injury is pronounced good cultivation
and feeding should be given. Nitrate of
soda at the rate of lOOlbs. an acre will
stimulate new growth. Wood that is
clearly dead should be cut out as such
wood invariably encourages diseases and
insect pests.

ing, an enviable record for any

All of the fruit trees— Apple,
Pear, Cherry, Peach — are high-
ly attractive and beautiful when
in flower, and when we con-
sider the economic and orna-
mental value of the fruit that
follows, it is strange that they
are not more often planted as
ornamentals ; especially when
we see the flowering Crabs,
double flowering Peaches and
Cherries used with no more
telling effects in flower and
their fruit amounts to nil for
edible or marketable purposes.
Stnall fruits, too, might be used
to replace shrubs in many in-
stances. Currants and Gooseber-
ries make splendid bushy speci-
inens and produce a bountiful!
supply of fruit for the house-,
hold or to market. Quinces
also might well be planted to
accomplish the same effect as
we use the ornamental relative,
Japanese Quince or Firebush
(Cydonia japonica). It be-
hooves the fruit growers to.
advertise the double purpose
which their products may serve
if they would share in the trade
of the ornamental nurseryman.

jat the. new ideas which The Exchange is able to

itedly make progress as the costs for installation

(jnan. We have been led to believe that a much
ilper device will shortly be placed on the market, the

the advantages of being able to sell a plant in full bloom
or full leaf, and allowing the customer to make a selec-
tion at any time throughout a season when hitherto it
has not been possible to move such plants.

In making use of these baskets, the directions are to
prune the roots slightly so as to encourage new fibrous
ones to develop ; if your soil is so loose as to sift
through, line the inside with newspaper, straw or moss,
which will temporarily hold the soil.

One of our Nursery editors, Edwin Matthews of
Pennsylvania, has been favored with some of these
baskets, and writes us: "It really is no experiment for
I know full well that it is a matter which will prove
successful, if done on a large scale, and in this way only
will it be a paying proposition. What a boon it would
be in a season such as we had this year when by reason
of 'May weather in March' flowering shrubbery was
forced out ahead of the planting season."

for reforestation, provided the felled trees were of no
commercial value.

The U. S. Civil Service Commission announces an
open competitive examination for nurserymen to fill a
vacancy at the Chilocco Indian School, Oklahoma, at
$1000 a year. Other vacancies may be filled from the
same examination. Those interested should apply for
Form 180O, stating the title of the examination desired

In passing, it may be said that although a bonus of
$30 a month additional may be allowed to appointees
whose services are satisfactory, we doubt that the serv-
ices of "much of a nurseryman" can be obtained for
$1340 a year.

The Nursery Section a Profit Maker

Close readers will remember our endeavors, not so
long ago, to interest florist growers into starting small
nurseries, wherever it was possible for them to do so.
We urged this because we felt that these small nurseries
would prove an additional source of profit to the regu-
lar florist business. Confirming our advices on that
score we note the following in our newsletter from
Lancaster, Pa., under date of April 33, "At the B. F.
Barr establishment, the nursery end keeps the full force
working practically day and night and, as a revenue
producer, is miles ahead of the cut flower end of the
establishment."

I value THE FLORISTS' EXCHANGE as a freauent
visitor to this far Southwestern outpost, as coming from
the center of activities not only in the florist line, but
also in that of the nurserymen. I freuuently get
enough information out of one issue to pay for sev-
eral years' subscriptions: in other words, it is almost
invaluable to keep us in touch with the foremost men
of the craft.

I am especially interested in the Nursery Depart-
ment. The articles you had from Mr. Meehan especially,
were intensely instructive and valuable.

I hope you may long continue successful in your
career. JOHN S. KEKR NURSERY CO.

The Forces in the Flower

Those of us who work with and among flowers have
cause enough, goodness knows, to marvel at their beauty
and their wonderful possibilities. But it has remained
for a Boston electrical engineer to suggest floral poten-
tialities that most of us have never even dreamed of.
Perhaps it is because this Mr. Greenleaf Whittier Pick-
ard is a direct descendant of the New England pOet
that he has hit upon a line of thought rather far re-
moved from the ordinarily material considerations of
scientists.

Commenting on the vastness of the total electrical
energy in the universe as compared with the small
amount harnessed by man in connection with his wire-
less telephone and telegraph inventions, Mr. Pickard
says :

"Of course, the great source of energy is the sun.
Curiously enough, it is the one great natural force
which we have never harnessed. I believe that the
earth's vegetation holds within itself the secret of
our future fuel and power supply, but how to make
the Lilies of the field work for us is still a great quan-
dary. Perhaps we will invent a huge mechanical flower
which will automatically do what the real plants do.
Then we will have the answer."

This suggests Henry Ford's chemical cow and its
synthetic milk, save that we can think of no service that
a mechanical flower could render except that of proving
man's ingenuity. However, the thought of utilizing the
energj' that must be wrapped up in plants and blossoms
is .certainly an interesting one. That this energy truly
exists is indisputably proved b}' the powerful properties
of other plant products such as Raisins, grains, etc. —
most of them better known a few j'ears ago than they
are today. But then we still have the Dandelion and the
wine thereof to remind us of the years characterized
by the initials B. P. (Before Prohibition) and to assure
us that energy unlimited lurks even in the fragrant
petals of our favorite flowers, if only we knew how-
to extract and apply it.

Here's hoping that Mr. Pickard keeps up his interest
in the subject and achieves practical results in this al-
luring and promising field.

A story appealing strongly to the sentimental side
will be found in this issue under the caption, "The Gar-
den Beautiful." * * * The description of the exhibition
of native New England orchids in Horticultural Hall,
Boston, reads so interestingly that readers should enjoy
the story to the full. It is instructive, of course, but so
ably written that once you start to read it you will not
want to stop until you have completed it. * * * Another
article, "Ornamental Grasses," calls for attention be-
cause its aim is to instruct the florist in the way of
adding to his income.

It is a general understanding that never before has
there been such a demand from the public for domestic
grown Rose plants as this season. That this condition
is brought about in great part through the prohibition
of the importation of Rose bushes into the country, of
which several millions were brought in annually up to
the time of Qu. 37, must be admitted; that this em-
bargo has been of benefit to many among our large
commercial growers, proving of money making value
to them, is not to be doubted. Old plants which, up to
ten years ago, were taken out of the greenhouses and
thrown on the dump heap, are now good merchandise,
fetching desirable prices. That the public must have
Roses is without question; that the quality of the Roses
available this Spring has e.xceeded the quality of the
imported dormant Roses is perhaps also without ques-
tion. The one remaining drawback is that the public
are not able to purchase the variety and selection of
stock that it was hitherto open to them to obtain through
the importation of dormant Roses.

Just as to how well the large growers of young
Roses (mail order trade) have fared we have no authen-
tic information, although we understand that with them
also the sales have practically taken all their available
stock.

Preservation of Native Plants

By collecting, growing and exhibiting some 25 species
of orchids native to New England, A. C. Burrage has
accomplished a work equal to anything he has ever done
with exotic orchids.

It is a forlorn fact that all native plants, if they pos-
sess some quality that elevates them above the weed
categorj', are always in danger of extermination, if their
haunts are within reach of civilization.

In not a few countries, it has become necessary to
protect certain plants from the ravages of vandals who,
oftentimes unthinkingly, mutilate and destroy. The
coarse growing perennials and the free seeding plants
of the hedgerows need no protection; they cannot be
exterminated, but the native orchid confined as it must
be, to shaded woodland and the banks of streams is
neither strong growing nor free seeding. Possibly a
multitude of seedlings die where one survives.

Small wonder then that with the march of civilization
these orchids are in danger of being wholly lost unless
they can be taken in hand and cultivated.

■That this is possible is proved by Mr. Burrage's won-
derful display at Boston, indeed, some of the plant spe-
cialists of Europe have all along featured certain native
American orchids as they have done other plants.

If the native orchid is worthy of cultivation and we
know it is, let those of us who can, give it the position
it requires to ensure it in perpetuity. Furthermore, is
it not possible that cross breeding will bring about great
developments. Mr. Burrage believes it possible, and is
w'orking to that end. Given hybrids of possibly greater
vigor it may not be so essential to retain natural forms,
but in the meantime, preserved thej' must be.

Mother's Day

That the 1921 commemoration of Mother's Day
through the aid of the florists, is going to lag behind its
predecessors is not to be admitted, even for a minute,
because Miss Jarvis, the originator of the idea, has
pronounced against the use of flowers on that day.

The custom of the remembrance of mother on that
day, wherever she may be, whether among the sainted
departed cir preciously cared for and thought of among
the living, will continue indefinitely — for all time, we
believe — and the form of the rite will continue to be
expressed most freely through the use of flowers.

^ 'The observance is a beautiful one and few will criti-
cize because of the fact that it has fallen to the lot of
the florist to furnish the medium through which is made
its most eloquent tribute.

National Publicity Campaign

The publicity committee is at the present time con-
centrating its attention upon plans to continue the na-
tional ad\'ertising as soon as possible. The slogan, "Say
it with Flowers," as all know, became pretty well estab-
lished through the first three years of our campaign,
becoming an asset to the trade of very considerable
worth. This asset should not be jeopardized, hence the
committee's desire to resume magazine advertising at the
earliest possible date.

The committee believes it due to the subscribers that
the sums paid into the campaign fund be publicly re-
corded, therefore hereafter will furnish the trade papers

Augustus Hawley Goodwin

It is with regret we have to announce the death of
ugustus Hawley Goodwin, vice-president of the W. W.
arnard Co., Chicago, on April 17 at his apartments in
le Drexel Arms Hotel, after a brief illness. W. W.
arnard, president of the company, had preceded him
ii death about five weeks, the latter having passed away
■ Los Angeles, Calif., on March 10.
; Mr. Goodwin was born in Waterville, N. Y., in 1844,
\^d was married about 45 years ago to Nestline Bebee
!f Norwich, N. Y. For a number of years he was en-
jiged in the cotton brokerage business at 117 Pearl St.,
i'ew York City. He was also for a time engaged in
[le hardware business at Norwich, N. Y. He first
altered the seed business about 1890 as a member of
le firm of Northrup, Braslan, Goodwin Co., Minne-
polis, Minn. Later the company moved to Chicago.
;i 1896 the firm discontinued business, when Mr. Good-
i'in organized The Goodwin Harris Co. In 1905 this
Jmpany consolidated with the W. W. Barnard Co. and
icorporated as The W. W. Barnard Co. with Mr.
arnard as president, and Mr. Goodwin vice-president,

The late S. S. Butterfield

which ol'fice he held until his death. He was the last
notable representative of three important trade organi-
zations.

For several years he had retired from active part in
the business, but resumed his duties again following the
illness of Mr. Barnard. About a month ago he con-
tracted a severe cold while on a trip to New York
which weakened him and finally confined him to his
room. Saturday morning he suffered a stroke, and
without regaining consciousness, passed away Sunday
night. Mr. Goodwin is survived by Mrs. Goodwin, and
a brother, S. W. Goodwin, of New York City. The
deceased was of a retiring disposition and a man of
great patience and gentleness ; in social life he was
always a true exponent of the refined gentleman and an
admirable host. The funeral services were held Wednes-
day, April 20, at Boydston Bros, chapel, the Rev. Clyde
McGee officiating. The seed trade of the city was fully
represented b\- many excellent floral pieces, August
Dres.sel having charge of the firm's offerings, a hand-
some casket cover of Russell Roses and Valley. The
remains were sent to Waterville, N. Y., for final inter-
ment.

S. S. Butterfield

Samuel S. Butterfield, at one time an active member
of The Florists' Exchange staff, died at his home,
2316 South Broadway, Oklahoma City, Okla., on April
12, following an operation and illness of about four
weeks.

He was born on Nov. 2, 1859, at Bingley, Yorkshire,
England, and at the age of 15 went to Heathfield estate,
near Bingley, to learn gardening. Three years later he
went to Hullen Edge estate, near Halifax, Yorkshire,
and two years after that to "The Grange," Harden,
Yorkshire. After a short time at the latter place he was
appointed foreman, both under glass and outside, being

The late Augustus Hawley Goodwin

less than 22 years of age at that time. Continuing in
this position until 1S85, he sailed for the United States
on I'eb. 14 of that year, going direct to Jamestown, N. Y.
After working several years for E. D. Spaulding, Mr.
Butterlielil went into business for himself in 1889, con-
tinuing in the same until Nov. 22, 1898, at which time
he joined the staff of The Flor[sts' E.kch.\nce, first
serving as city representative and later becoming its
advertising manager He stayed with this paper uninter-
ruptedly until July :il. 19U9. when he and his family re-
moved to Oklahoma City, Okla.

In his new location Mr. Butterfield first entered into
the florists' business. Later at an age when most law-
yers have established their practice, he studied law and
was admitted to the bar in June 1915. when 55 years old.
He had offices the last few years at 716 Oil Exchange
Building, Oklahoma City. He was elected a representa-
tive from his district to the sixth and seventh legisla-
tures, and during the two terms instituted many meas-
ures and championed many causes he believed were for
civic betterment.

When Mr. Butterfield went West and took up the law
and politics he, without doubt, found that vocation to
which his leading traits— tact and diplomacy— best fitted
him, and there made rapid progress, even though an
older man at that time than the majority who take up
a similar pursuit. We understand that in Oklahoma he
was highly respected and greatly honored because of his
eminent fairness and honesty of purpose. His popu-
larity was attested by the fact that at the last November
election Mr. Butterfield was elected county commissioner
by a majority of more than 5000, proportionately the
largest of any candidate. He was to take office July 1.

The deceased is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ellen H.
Butterfield, a daughter, Mrs. Otto Rose, and a son,
Ed. S. Butterfield, all of Oklahoma City. Mr. Butter-
field was a member of the Episcopal Church and funeral
services were held at St. Paul's Cathedral at 2 o'clock
on Thursday, April 14. All offices in the court house
were closed between 2 and 3 o'clock, so that officials and
employees could attend the services. Business houses
in Capitol Hill were also closed between 2 and 4 o'clock.

Lieut. Frank J. Brosch

(See Portrait, page 1060)

Lieutenant Frank J. Brosch, son of Anton Brosch,
florist, of Lynchburg, Va., died on April 33 at his home,
1723 Monroe St., Lynchburg, where he had been ill for
several weeks. His death resulted from erysipelas
which followed trouble from an infected tooth.

Lieutenant Brosch enlisted in 1913 with the old Home
Guard, the First Virginia infantry. National Guard, and
at the time the local troops were called for service on
the Mexican border he was a sergeant in that company.
Prior to that time he had earned a reputation as an
expert rifleman and had a number of times represented
his company in this line of military activity. At the
time of his death he was the possessor of six medals for
expert markmanship, most of which had been won
while he was captain of the old Home Guard rifle team.
While on the Mexican border with the Second Regi-
ment he was detailed to represent the Virginia troops
on a range in Florida, where he spent some time in
training until the troops were mustered out of Federal
service.

While in Federal service in Florida Mr. Brosch was
elected second lieutenant of the Shawnees, but he could
not accept that commission at the time because he was
in Federal service and the Shawnees were not yet in
the service of the Federal Government. However, upon
being mustered out of the Federal service he accepted
the commission with the Shawnees, which he held until
he was detached to the field headquarters of General
Pershing, where he remained until after the close of the
war.

Lieutenant Brosch left Lynchburg in the early part
of 1917 with the Shawnees for Fortress Monroe and
after training there was transferred with that company
to Camp Mills, N. Y., where the Rainbow division was
in formation. Later he was picked from the 27,000
men as a member of an advance party of 27 men to
precede the division to Europe. Arriving in Europe he
went direct to Belgium and later he re-joined his com-
pany, with which he saw months of hard service. Later
he went to General Pershing's headquarters where he
remained until March, 1919, and on April 1 he sailed
from Brest, France. Arriving at Charleston, S. C, he
was later discharged from the army and went to Tarry-
town, N. Y.. where for a time he was Rose grower for
F. R. Pierson. Later he went to Boston, where he was
buyer for Conney, and still later he returned to Lynch-
burg to be associated with his father in business there.

Lieutenant Brosch was born in Lynchburg, on July 5,
1891, and was, therefore, in his 30th year at the time of
his death. Surviving him are his father; a brother,
E. A. Brosch. and four sisters, Mrs. H. V. White, and
Misses Teresa, Agnes and Lois Brosch.

He was a member of Grace Memorial Episcopal
Church, Marshall Lodge of Masons, Walnut Camp,
Woodmen of the World, and Lynchburg Post, Ameri-
can Legion.

The Florists* Exchange

What Does it Cost to Grow Geraniums?

The Exchange is endeavoring to focus the attention
of every grower in the land to the necessity of knowing
his costs of production. Always necessary knowledge it
is now more than ever so on account of the changed
mon^y standards. A dollar, five dollars, one hwidred
dollars, these days, does not go far; rettirns from invest-
ment must pay costs plus. Unless the grower knows his
returns from stock sold is covering all his costs — and
there is no way of ascertaining this except through keep-
ing books — he is likely to receiz'e a great shock and a
rude azvakcning in the day not very far off.

The letter from Drue N. Allman (which follows) is a
continuation of the discussion of Mr. Copeland's in our
issue of April 10, 1930, page 874, which see.

Editor The Florists' ExchGnge:

"What does it cost to grow Geraniums?" In fact,
what does it cost to grow any greenhouse crop? This
has been the general theme of several articles which
have appeared in your valuable paper during the past
six months. I have followed these articles with much
interest, for certainly a considerable amount of light
is being shed upon the cost of greenhouse crop produc-
tion. Mr. Grower, to ascertain the cost of growing
Geraniums is a far more complicated problem than
perhaps you imagine. Of course, careful estimates,
such as those of Mr. Copeland in the issue of April
tenth, will go a long way toward answering the ques-
tion and may be entirely satisfactory under certain
conditions. But if you will forgive perfect frankness,
I have come across very few articles which can really
and truly be called scientific. I am prepared to defend
this statement as follows:

1. One cannot deternaine the cost of producing a
crop unless said crop is charged with every item of
cost involved in its production independently of all
other crops grown. Here is where Mr. Copeland
seems to fall down. He credits Geraniums with the
value of other crops grown in the vacant spaces. This
means that no matter how much more (or less) it costs
him to produce these crops, as compared to Geraniums,
the latter crop is not charged for this extra cost but
is given full credit for the gross returns. I fail to
see where Mr. Copeland has charged these other crops
for labor, supplies, use of equipment, etc.. In other
words, the inaccuracy of this alone wiU throw his re-
sults off, because of the difference in the cost of pro-
ducing Geraniums as against that of producing other
crops.

2. In order to determine every item of cost it is
necessary to keep a separate record of every cost
throughout the business year. This means that an ac-
count should be opened with all, or more than all, of
the following enterprises:

E^'ea! estate Equipment (may be subdi-

abor (man) vided)

Labor (horse) Supplies

Auto vehicles (if used) Administration

Heat, water, light and power .Accounts with crop (or cropsl

accounts Persona]

What is known as a complete set of accounts would
include such accounts as notes payable, investments,
interest, cash, profit and loss, etc. To find the cost of
growing one crop only, e. g. Geraniums, a complete set
would not be necessary although of great advantage in
the study of the biisiness.

At the end of the year. Geraniums are charged with
their share of all undistributed costs, as determined by
these (and perhaps other) accounts. To explain how
these accounts are kept and how the charges are dis-
tributed would fill a good sized volume. I am merely
calling attention to the fact that estimates in round
numbers at the end of the year are unsatisfactory unless
backed up by the carefully kept books and records of
a concern.

Mr. Ck)peland's figures may be correct, even though
they are in round numbers, but the all important ques-
tion is how did he obtain them? How, for example,
did he obtain ?96 for fuel, assuming that he has more
than one greenhouse? For that matter, how did he
determine all other debits?

3. To properly charge a crop with the labor of
men, horses and machinery, it becomes necessary to
record such labor in some way for'every day throughout
the year. Since labor is almost always the" largest cost
of crop production, the grower who sits down and es-
timates the time that men, horses and machinery
worked for Geraniums is going to come about as close
to the actual cost as New York is from China.

It is so easy to criticize another fellow's work, and
I realize only too well that to tell a man what not to
do is much easier than to give him constructive advice.
Nevertheless, Mr. Copeland and others, let me say that
it is just the kind of work you are doing which is
going to count in the long run. AVere every reader
of The Exchange to submit figures on Geraniums we
would then have a mighty good idea of the average cost
of growing this popiilar plant, just as we have accu-
rate knowledge as to the average cost of producing a
bushel of wheat or a pound of pork.

Paul's Scarlet Climber

Unquestionably the most vivid scarlet climbing Rose in commerce.
Possessing H. T. blood, it has bold foliage, while the flowers are of fair
size. The buds are produced in clusters of three to six and do not
usually all open at one time, the tendency toward perpetual blooming
being_ strong. The habit is strong but not unduly rampant. Raised
by Wm. Paul & Son, England, it won nuraerous honors when first ex-
hibited, incl iding the gold medal at the Bagatelle Gardens, Paris.

In conclusion, I would say that what the forcing in-
dustry needs most today is a method by means of which
we know — and so need not guess — the cost of crop pro-
duction. Only by means of such a system can we hold
our own among other industries which have already
worked out accurate methods of cost accounting. Let
us teach folks to "Say it with Flowers," but let us first
determine whether or not the price they are paying for
those flowers is bringing an actual profit to the grower.

Drtje N. Allmax.

Ithaca, N. Y., April 11, 1920.

The preceding is over one year old and has unavoid-
ably been kept out of our columns to date on account of
pressure on our space for current material. However,
the story is just as good today as when it was written,
and stresses a point that unless complete records are
kept of all operations, whether in the greenhouse or in
the field, the grower must remain in the dark as to
whether a certain product is paying him or not. In fact,
the only way in which he can learn whether he is mak-
ing money or not is to be judged b}' the size of his bank
account at the end of a given year, and even here again
this would not prove an accurate statement because of
various factors not possible of indication in making
such a summary — simplj- for the reason that no proper
cost accounts have been kept.

We somehow feel, through sounding different ones,
that there is an instinctive aversion pervading the grow-
ers regarding Cost Accounting, but from our knowledge
of the business we predict that the time will come when
the grower who makes no attempt to keep track of his
Cost and Overhead will find himself one of the excep-
tions in the trade.

Business tends continuously to production at the low-
est possible cost in order to meet competition. How is
a knowledge of cost to be obtained unless the grower
keeps full account of his operations? The "sense or
feeling of success." the knowledge that one was making
money was, we acknowledge, quite current with the
trade up to. say ten or fifteen years ago. when there was
ample business for all and, better than that, much heav-
ier profits prevalent on a smaller turnover than now.
Today the former opportunities are passing away, the
lines are drawn more cIoseK'. comoctition is keener, and
the men who are making money freely on small capital
are not nearly so plentiful as they were a generation
ago. We have heard veteran growers claim many a time
that thev have had to double and treble their glass in
order to make the same profits that they did a score of
years ago. What more convincing argument can there
be for the necessity of the adoption of a Cost and Over-
head system.

Here follows a letter from Albert M. Herr, Lancas I
Pa. who, w-e regret to say, gave up his method of |
countanc}' just at the time when accountancy was n
needed. However, he promises to take it up again
we hope to hear from others who intend tr\-ing out
to-date bookkeeping methods.

Albert M. Herr Says

On account of the unsettled condition of all expeii
today I have not kept any accurate account of the (
J I production on Geranium cuttings, but I do know*
a fact that since we have been hampered by war «
ditions and the high prices of all material and lat
iliat the margin of profit has been so small that any li;
let up in production has swung the balance to the wn
.side of the ledger.

Durine the coal restrictions I had to pull out
house of stock plants to use the space for propagatii
this house was replanted a j-ear ago with good •
stock, the past Winter the production from it did
pay for the coal it took to heat it ; next Winter it i
about pay running expenses, and the following Wit
will show a margin of profit if nothing intervenes
prevent.

As to pot plants — it is so long since I grew any
pots that I would not even venture an opinion, bu
'-<.' know that at the present price of cuttings and
I'resent price of pot plants the margin of profit is lar
on pot stock than on the cutting end of the business.

When costs get a bit more stabilized I intend to ag,
make an accurate record, and if they do not show- u
better profit than the^" have been doing I, for one, i
turn my glass to some other use. If it were not for
fact that my stock houses are just now in such gc
shape it would be done for the coming Winter, bu'
seems a shame to throw them out.

Raising Tuberous Begonias

Some are apt to think that tuberous Begonias
difficult to raise and, when the importation of Belg
and Holland tubers was checked, many gave up hopes
handling them.

True, in some parts of California, Begonias are be '
raised commercially and, considering the climate,
doubt Florida could produce Begonias by the mill)
But there is no reason whatever why right here in
East, growers should not handle Begonias successfu
Several growers in the south of England raise ]
gonias on a large scale, and w^hile the price the}- m: .
is above the usual, the fact that they can find purchast
both wholesale and retail, indicates that the impor
cheap bulbs are not the desideratum of everj-one.

The fame of Blackmore & Langdon has, to a lai
extent, been built up on double Begonias and not a i
of their bulbs used to reach this country prior to Qu.
But the giant doubles are not suited for open grot
culture and, even as pot plants for ordinary shop tra
they are too shy in blooming and too brittle to \vi
stand any careless handling. The singles, however, i
suitable for any purpose and w^hen -well done, even.'i
Geranium and Canna has nothing on the Begonia.

Even at this late date, it is not too late to start I
gonia tubers, but assuming tubers cannot be obtainl
there is no serious reason why a start with seed shot
not be made.

True, if one wants salable plants the first seast
January is the recognized time for sowing, but SQJ
right now and nursed along under proper conditions fi
sized tubers would be obtained by the Fall and, afl
all, it is tubers one wants if it is intended to feafli
good strong plants for sale in June for bedding out. '
Raising tuberous Begonias from seed is somewl
tricky, but anyone used to handling dust-like seed *
find no difficult}'. Sow in pans filled with very lig
sandy soil, with which has been mixed powden
sphagnum moss and a little thoroughly rotted mantll
The surface should be pressed level and the seed cat
fully sifted on to it. Xo covering soil is needed. Cov
with a pane of glass and shade, giving a temperature (
70 deg. If watering is needed, dip the pan careful
until the moisture shows on the surface. Never let t
soil become dry at any point, or the minute seedlinj
will go off wholesale. A moist surface must not '
taken to mean the soil below is thoroughly moist. I
soon as a pair of leaves show, prick out into ottt
pans of slightly heavier soil. Continue to grow in tl
same situation, watering carefullj', shading from diift
sunshine, but gradually increasing the air supply as H
seedlings progress.

Pot off into 2in. when ready, burying the pots' '
ashes or fibre to keep them cool and moist.

If a nice little low house is standing idle for tl
Summer make up the benches with 6in. or more <
compost consisting of loam, sand and old Oak leii
mold in equal proportions, adding to it almost an equi
proportion of well rotted cow manure.

"Own Your Own Home" Exposition

The third annual "Own Your Own Home" exposi-
jn opened at the 33d Regiment Armory at 168th St. and
'ort Washington ave., on Washington Heights, on Sat-
rday, April 16, and will be continued until Saturday,
pril 30.

It was evident to a visitor at this exposition that the

lanagement had done much to give it a touch of nature

id a landscape effect. At the very entrance to the broad

eep path which leads up to the armory there is a rustic

/hite Birch pergola and the path itself is provided

ith steps through the use of unbarked logs placed

:ross it as risers. On either side of this path there is

substantial railing formed of the bodies of White

j irch trees supported on posts made from sections of

liie trunks of rough barked trees.

X Within the large armory the floor space is divided
to avenues and "lanes" by railings of White Birch tree
5dies supported by posts made of rough bark tree
unks, and the spaces allotted to the many exhibitors
^ e enclosed in the same manner. At the corners of the
.enues and lanes there are tall red Cedar trees. To
!ve a further country flavor, so to speak, to these
nes, such names as there are given to them, Laurel,
ocust, Carnation, Jasmine, Juniper, Maple, Golden
-od and Marigold Lanes.

On the narrow gallery on both the sides and ends of
le armory, Pine trees and numerous models of dwelling
3uses are placed alternately with excellent effect.
, The most pleasing and interesting feature of this ex-
'osTtion, from a landscape point of view, is the group
f trees and flowering shrubs occupying a space 41ft.
Iq. in the center of the armory, to which is given the
ame "Fountain Court." Though laid out so as to form
I square, when viewed outwardly, the inside of this
I roup is a circle surrounded by a circular path con-
lected with which are paths leading outward east and
.est. Between this circular path and the extreme cen-
er. which is occupied by a fountain, is a bed of flow-
rs. Outside of the circular path opposite each of the
our corners in the edge of the trees and shrubbery are
;arden benches. The following trees are used in the
orners and sides of this square: Austrian and White
ind Mugho Pines, Norway Spruce and Japanese Yew,
valmias, Rhododendrons, Junipers, Holly, Dogwoods,
ijndens, Berberis, Lilacs, flowering Almonds, English
Primroses, Leucothoe and Phlox subulata. The taller
I rees form the background and the smaller trees and
.;hrubs the foreground in a pleasing arrangement.
I The contributors of the stock which is planted in this
excellent exhibit are the Hicks Nursery, Westbury, L. L,
Amawalk Nurseries, Amawalk, N. Y., the Ornamental
■jrowers Association, Conard & Jones Co., West Grove,
i?a. Henry B. Raymore, of the firm of Raymore &
jSammis, landscape architects and engineers of Freeport
(ind Huntington, L. L, is in charge of the landscape sec-
ion of this exposition.

' Other exhibits are numerous and extremely interest-
'ng, embracing not only models of dwelling houses and
iplans of houses, but also a large number of exhibits of
';:he different kinds of material which may be employed
;!n the building of a house and of what is known as
guilders' hardware and also of heating and watering
systems for houses.

Fritj Bahr's
Philosophy

You may be able to Recognize your 'Mums
by the leaf, but Don't expect Too much of
the Other Fellow. Always Label properly,
when you Ship, whether there is One or
One Hundred varieties in the Box.

To the country florist. It's going to be
the Greatest Spring You have ever had, but
you Must Have the stock to do it with.

The Man who Buys and Sells for Cash is
hardly Ever among those who Live Above
their Means.

The Only Way. Keep on growing, and
Keep on Crowing about what You Grow.

Treat your old Friends Well but Keep on
making New ones; that Holds Good with
your Customers.

The Wide-Awake Florist doesn't Wait for
a Competitor to settle in his Home Town
before he Starts to Advertise.

As usual, it has been a most Unusual
Spring thus far, and the Nurserymen have
Changed their mind about Closing the Plant-
ing Season.

It is urged that the amateur may easily grow and,
as it is simple to hybridize, easily raise seedling Amaryl-
lis which will flower in about 13 months.

The bulbs may be handled like Dahlias, planting out
in May and lifting in late September or they may be
flowered in pots, the latter being plunged outdoors after
flowering.

In Florida, Southern Texas, and Southern California,
the Amaryllis can be grown in the open all the year
around.

Reds are most common and it is urged that uniform
colors should be striven for. Pure whites are very rare,
as are pure pinks.

We are inclined to think that no good purpose is
served by encouraging the use of the name Amaryllis
in connection with these hybrids bulbs. True Amaryllis
are few according to European authorities and, as they
are responsible for the development of these flowers,
we may accept their dictum that the Amaryllis is apart
from the Hippeastrum, inasmuch that they are directly
opposite in their habits. The Amaryllis grows only in
the Fall and Winter in Europe, while the Hippeastrum
can be more or less induced to grow at will.

The Hippeastrum apparently has no affinity with
Amaryllis as no hybrids have been recorded between
the Belladonna Lily and the Hippeastrum. The
latter, when introduced, was first classed as Amaryllis
owing to its resemblance, but while there are but five
or six Amaryllis, sixty or more Hippeastrums, natives
of various centers in South America and Africa have
been discovered and it is from these that the wonder-
ful hybrids have been evolved.

The old firm of Veitch was responsible for much of
this work and, prior to closing down, evolved many
striking seedlings, including white and pink.

Without regret, quit house of clay
To wake in blest eternity.

The Alabama Mexican Bean Beetle Quarantine

I note your article in the issue of April 33 referring
to the regulations of Quarantine 50, covering shipments
of nursery stock out of a certain designated .area in
Alabama where the Mexican Bean Beetle is said to have
been found. The counties covered by the investigation
on which the quarantine is based are Jefiferson, Shelby,
St. Claire, Bibb, Walker, Tuscaloosa, Blount, Etowah,
DeKalb, Cherokee, Calhoun, and Talladega.

Quarantine 50 does not cover Covington Co. nor Madi-
son Co. in which Chase and Huntsville are located;
Madison Co. being a great nursery section of Alabama.
I am bringing this to your attention so that you may
make further note of the matter, as the heading given
this week's article, "Alabama Nurserymen Affected by
Quarantine" might possibly be misunderstood without
a careful reading of the article under it, as affecting all
Alabama nurserymen. John Watson.

A. MacL.

Our new Postmaster-General, Will H. Hays, is de-
veloping plans for the more rapid handling of second-
class matter which covers, as our readers generally
know, newspapers, magazines and publications like The
Florists' Exchange. It will be a great day for our-
selves and our readers when our trade paper is re-
ceived without delay in all parts of the United States.
As it is now, the service to some parts could not pos-
sibly be improved upon as to speed; on the other hand
there are just as many, or more subscribers, who are
delayed from 34 to 73 hours in the receipt of their
copies, which works a real hardship when we consider
the perishable nature and changeable value of the plants
and material advertised in our columns.

Popularizing the Amaryllis

The U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington,
D. C., is making no little effort to encourage the culti-
vation of the Amaryllis, strictly Hippeastrum, and has
distributed among the press a circular to that end.

We are told that the Amaryllis is not well known by
the country at large, but in Washington, no less than
83,499 persons visited the recent exhibition of these flow-
ers in the Department's greenhouses, over 50,000 more
than visited the display a year before.

The flowers, after the exhibition, were cut and dis-
tributed among the hospitals. We are also told that in
England the Amaryllis has for years been popular and
that breeders often secure prices which appear exorbi-
tant, although good plants may be obtained for about $3.

Trade Journal Advertising

Extracts from an address by Percival Marshall, chair-
man of the British Association of Trade and Technical
Journals :

The Trade lownul appeals to a specialized set of
readers ; they are all, or nearly all, directly interested in
the goods advertised, and are probable buyers. The
advertiser therefore starts out with his publicity battle
half-won.

The Trade Journal advertiser knows that subscribers
to trade journals are constantly watchful for new oppor-
tunities for extending or improving their business, and
that they study the advertising pages as closely as they
do the editorial. Every reader of a trade journal is also
potentially a buyer of goods within the scope of the
trade.

Many firms have not yet realised that advertising is
a definite factor in their selling organization and should
be regarded and developed as such. An advertisement
should be considered as being as much a salesman on
the staff as the actual traveler who goes round with the
order book.

Every firm fuis got a selling point, or many selling
points, about the goods it is offering. Yet how many
advertisements remain strangely silent on their impor-
tant facts? Obviously the advertiser does not realize
that his advertisements ought to be members of his sell-
ing staff.

The advertiser in a Trade Journal should be pro-
foundly grateful to the enterprising publisher for pro-
viding him with so easy and certain method of reaching
his market, but he ought not to let it rest at that. Having
his publicity problem half solved for him, he should
leave no stone unturned to utilize his space in the most
effective manner possible. H. T. J.

The Florists' Exchange

Unique Show at Boston

(Continued from page 1013)
of our noblest native orchid, clumps with over iifty
flowers. It is Cypripedhtm kirstttum, the Showy Lady's
Slipper of olden days. C. spectabilis and C. regince are
the synonymic names. But, no matter what the name, it
is our finest and largest native orchid, growing to the
height of 3ft. and inhabiting moist, shady open spaces
in the woods and meadows. The large oval, heavily
veined, light green leaves stand in fine contrast to the
beautiful white and pink flowers. This orchid will
easily outshine many of the beautiful exotic species and
it is everlastingly to be regretted that our gorgeous
Lady's Slipper has become so rare. It is so beautiful
and showy that it falls an easy prey to any one noticing
the flower and as it is seldom cut off, but pulled up by
the roots, it is fast disappearing from its natural haunts.
We see here many of the pink, and quite a number of
the rare albino or white variety.

Close to the boggy places, in fact, spread near and
far are clumps of our old friend the Pitcher Plant,
Sarracenia purpurea. From a rosette of its pitcherlike
leaves rise the strong flower stems with their curious
umbrella shaped dark brown flowers. The plants are
common all over New England. Both flowers and
leaves are interesting, especially the latter, on account
of their uncommon shape and also because of their
internal (or is it infernal) arrangement for the capture
and digestion of insects.

The Habenarias

In the open spaces of the meadow, we notice small
groups of Habenarias. There are quite a number of
different species, too; here is H. hyberborea, the tall
green Northern Orchis, with tall stout stems and many
lancelike leaves. The green flowers are small, borne on
spikes. Like most of the Habenarias, it likes moist
locations and shade; boglands suit it well. H. lacera,
the fringed, ragged, green Orchis; H. Hookerii, the
small, round leaved Orchis; H. orbiculata, the large,
round leaved Orchis with fat shiny leaves ; H. psycoides,
the small, purple-fringed Orchis; H. fimbriata and the
large purple fringed Orchis or Dead Man's Fingers, are
all here, growing just where they like it best. The last
named is a tall orchid ; its flower racemes, when they
are not much developed and are just poking through
the ground, look like white fingers. Then there is H.
bracteata, the long bracted Orchis, with loose green
spikes. Aplectrum hyemale (Adam and Eve), is rather
rare, the flowers are sweetly fragrant.

Of Spiranthes we see 5". romansoffiana, the Hooded
Ladies' Tresses, the latest New England orchid and, of
Liparis we find L. Loeselii, Loesel's Tway Blade, a
dwarf plant said to be a native of England also. It is
very pretty and interesting. Orchis spectabilis is the
earliest native orchid, flowering early in May. Its pink
and green flowers stand in fine relief against the large
dark green leaves. All these plants are found among
low ferns or peep from clumps of fuzzy moss, they
also cling close to rocks or to sedges and bog plants.
Their form, size and colors are much varied; altogether
a charming group and well worth studying.

Along the edges of the woods, low down or, as the
ground rises higher up, we find on the rocky banks or
on mossy knolls, different sorts of Lady's Slippers, pink,
yellow and white. Here and there are members of the
Goodyera family. They are mostly very dwarf, creep-
ing on the ground. The leaves are pretty, green and
rnottled. Some of the plants are exceedingly diminu-
tive. Goodyera pubeseens, the Downy Rattlesnake
Plantain, flowers in a dense, greenish-white spike, all
around the stem. G. tesselata is dwarf with leaves
mottled; the upright stem bearing loose, white flowers
only three-sixteenths of an inch long. G. repens is of
the same style, the flowers on a one sided spike. G.
repens, var. oplioides is also a very small but charming
plant. Then we find Orchis rotundifolia, the Round
Leaved Orchis, with its tiny, dainty flowers of rose
purple and with a white lip, spotted with deeper purple.

The Value of the Show

Now, my friend, we have had a great and glorious
time. We have seen more of our native orchids than
we ever dreamed of, and we have seen them all in
bloom together, long before their brothers outdoors
have any notion of unfolding their flowers. What is
more, we have even seen in flower, at the same time,
species that will not bloom outdoors until July or Au-
gust. Just think of it, there has never been attempted
such a show at any time or place.

And leaving alone all else, the effectful, utterly nat-
ural and, most of all, so highly pleasing arrangement of
the whole and of every little detail shows that the man
who has favored Boston with this display has put his
heart and soul into giving the public a pleasure, com-
bined with valuable educational features. It shows that
Mr. Burrage means what he has often said before the
horticuhural and other societies and in public print that,
the only way to save the precious remnants of our,
once large and widely distributed native orchid flora, is

A Spray of Cymbidium Pauwelsii

The flowers above illustrated were perhaps the most travelled blos-
soms that have ever been exhibited. Grown in Belgium by Sander &
Son, they were cut and shipped to the iluller-Sealy Co., New York,
who exhibited them at the New York Show, March 14 to 21. On
.4pril S, when this photograph was taken, the same flowers were ex-
hibited at the Boston Show in perfect condition, seven weeks after
cutting. Surely a tribute to the lasting powers of the Cymbidium
orchid.

to educate the public at large to a true appreciation of
what is at stake, to show the public the beauties of
native orchids and to demonstrate that they can be
cultivated like other plants.

Two Gold Medals Awarded

Mr. Burrage was awarded the society's gold medal for
his unapproachable and unique display and Douglas
Eccleston, superintendent of the Burrage conservatories,
also received a gold medal for the natural arrangement.
Mr. Eccleston has faithfully and conscientiously exe-
cuted, with all his well-known energy and intelligence,
the ideas and plans of his employer. He has labored
long and hard to bring the plants into flower in such
perfection and at the proper time. He has shown great
ability in achieving outstanding and astonishing results
in a direction that has never been attempted before.
His work of superintending the staging of the exhibi-
tion speaks for itself. Boston has never beheld a show
that was more tastefully, more naturally or more ex-
quisitely arranged. No money was spared by Mr. Bur-
rage to do the very last thing possible which might add
to the completeness of the arrangements. For the con-
venience of the visitors and for their education, all the
plants were provided with neat green tablets upon which
the name, habitat and time of flowering, also the popular
name was inscribed in fine large, white letters.

Mr. Burrage mailed 4000 invitations to friends and
members of horticultural societies. He also advertised
the exhibition in the daily papers and supplied a specially
printed pamphlet, containing all data about native or-
chids, to every visitor to the show. Other literature,
dealing with appeals for the protection and preservation
of our native orchids was also provided for free dis-
tribution.

Special Exhibits

In the smaller hall Mr. Burrage had arranged six
large,^ electrically lighted cases in which were shown
beautiful, life size photographs of every species of na-
tive orchids, together with specimens of the dried plants
from the celebrated herbarium of Wm. P. Rich, secre-
tary of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. In
this way every bit of information for the identification
of native orchids was placed at the hands of students
and others.

The daily papers were most kind and thorough in
giving, for days, detailed accounts pertaining to the
exhibition and in appealing to the public for the pro-
tection of wild orchids.

Although the exhibition was not especially favored
with inviting weather conditions, rain falling on both
days almost steadily, it was nevertheless visited by large
crowds from beginning to end. The show appealed to
the ladies especially, and it was surprising to notice what
a large number of these and of all visitors were well
informed and enthusiastically interested in our native
orchids. The exhibition was free to all.

Among the notable guests were found the Governor
and Lieutenant-Governor of Massachusetts with their
wives and friends, also Mayor Peters of Boston and
family, and many of Boston's foremost men and women.
His eminence, Cardinal O'Connell was a much interested
visitor and spent a long time in the hall.

In the lobby were two exhibits of especial merit. One
was a plant of Dendrobium regina from Mrs. Andrew

Adie of Chestnut Hill. This variety has flowers o I
bright violet color, a very near approach to true bl i
It was awarded a first-class certificate. The other :
hibit consisted of four plants of Calceolaria hybri
from Mrs. N. M. Bryant, Angleside, Waltham. \\
Reoch, the gardener is to be congratulated upon
extraordinary culture which has resulted in produc
for him plants of such size and superior finish. 1
plants were extremely dwarf and compact, 4ft. acr
and completely covered with flowers. They were
12in. pots, raised from seed sown last May. The pla
were awarded a bronze medal. G. Th

Boston Show Echoes

Western Rose Growers Absent

The annual exhibition of the American Rose Socie
held in Boston from April 6 to April 10, proved a gra
success, leaving no room for adverse criticism as to i
quality and pleasing display of the blooms shown. '
tell the truth, except for experts in judging, it was e
tremely diflicult to decide which of the many competi
vases of 50 blooms was the best in its class, so u;
versally uniform and exceptionally fine were the e
hibits. Never before has Boston seen such an array
the choicest varieties and specimens of the queen
flowers. As for the two Rose Gardens shown respf
tively, by Thomas Roland and the Breck-Robinson Nt
sery Co., there was only one verdict — The best that si'
and will could accomplish.

The American Rose Society is to be congratulate'
and its president and efficient officers deserve high prai.
for their combined efforts to show what a real Ro
Show can look like. Their work was fully appreciat'.
and is sure to do much good.

Yet, there was one thing missing, causing many e
pressions of surprise. Many comments could be heaj
by an observant listener, even if his ears were not tl
sharpest. While the greater number of the foremoi
Rose growers of New England participated in showil
the fruits of their skill and labor, the total absence i
exhibitors and exhibits from greater distances was .
once apparent and much speculated upon. True, a nbbi
exception was made by the Florex Gardens and Edwaii
Towill from Pennsylvania and the Cromwell Gardei
(A. N. Pierson), from Connecticut, all of whom wei
well in the front in securing well deserved awards. But
where oh where were our brothers from the West? ',
oannot be that they have nothing to show; we knoi
better. Nor can it be a lack of courage, for this qualitl
is not lacking in the West. So there only remains til
item of distance as an excuse. The list of visitoK
shows, with the exception of Ohio and Canada onli
names from Eastern States. This is decidedly wren
and, while we are at it, we may as well ask why, at an
of the exhibitions of the American Carnation Societ
or the Society of American Florists, our Eastern grow
ers can always be found en massed Distance does na
seem to be an obstacle to them. No matter how fa(
toward the setting sun, be it in Chicago, Cleveland, Dea
ver or anywhere, an exhibition is held, the grower froil
the East is there and somehow also manages to brim
home a due share of the spoils of battle. Come, yot
brothers from the prairies, from the woods of Wis:
cousin and the crags of the Rocky Mountains, shafa
the dust from your eyelids and come to see what thi
East can do and how well you will be taken care oi
You make it too easy for us, here near the blue oceanj
come and bring a little lively rivalry into the contest
it can only be for the benefit of all.

Why So Late?

Visitors attending the late Boston Show would surely
feel surprised if they were told that, up to two days:
before the opening or even less than that time, not more
than one-half of the eventual exhibits had been entered;
so that the management was actually wondering whethet
the big building would be filled. Of course, this thing
happens in Boston almost every time when a big show
is planned. Every time, also, the end justifies the silent
hope that all will be well. But it is high time that tW
habit of waiting until the very last minute before enter-
ing exhibits be changed. It would sure make it much
easier for the show officials and would lift a great bur-
den off the minds and shoulders of all who are respon-
sible for the arranging, etc., of plants and flowers.

The rules governing exhibiting are plain and stricti
enough for that matter and the time may come, wheni
their rigid enforcement will be attended to but, so far,i
nobody seems much concerned about what these rulesi
say. Too many intending exhibitors cannot make up
their minds, as to what they will send in until they have
made sure what the other fellow is going to do, then,
about a few hours before the doors are opened to the I
public, the fever sets in and a few hundred pots are
washed or flowers picked and slammed into the show
hall to the great enjoyment of one or two officials who
are already wrestling with a case of delicious triangles.

The Story of The Garden Beautiful

The Prisoners of San Quentin "Say it with Flowers"

By PAT PYRONE II

1i< is a rimarkiible slury we pulilish, linking up our

II i.il slogan "Say it with Flowers" in a way that may

(<, luivc been dreamed of by the coiner of the phrase, .

jcarrying with it an appeal to the heart of all who

k\ ever the welfare of their fellows uppermost, even

Id li these fellow creatures may be convicts of the

I'c. Surely it is a story of a character never

ihlished, and we hope and pray that its appear-

;.rint may lead to the establishment of similar

Beautiful" in our penal institutions, this be-

the undercurrent of suggestion in the story

iLsistibly leads one to the belief that the culti-

flovvers, even in the midst of hardened men,

, >,. iiderful influence in shaping the future of these

M iiul bodies when they regain their freedom.

manuscript is sent us by Bessie Boston (Mrs.
I VV. Lymberly) who prefaces Pat Tyrone the
story as follows :

1 K been trying to find time to write you of the

1 wonderful garden in the world — The Garden

iitiful of San Quentin, and hit on the idea of

' .torge to do it. Now, George, in this instance,

k Tyrone II. the prisoner in charge of the gar-

;i I am enclosing his story ; you may use some parts

(, . He has not quite grasped my idea, but then I

rtably did not make myself clear. When Patrick

jjine I decided the prison walls should be covered

li! Roses, he wrote Fred Howard of Howard &

lih of Los Angeles, Calif., and received a ready

tJjnse and a large gift. Other growers, whose names

{rget, were equally generous.

''vo years ago an appeal was made to the California
lilia Society for tubers, and we sent our best. A
!(ire of our show is a wonderful exhibit of Dahlias
rii San Quentin prison. All donors were made mem-
e^ of the Abou Ben Adhem Club, and we all received
liibership cards as well as most attractive New Year
is.

le idea has been to make, "The Garden Beautiful,"

ature of all prisons, but, alas, it is only an idea as
t: Capt. Randolph is a most wonderful man, and has
cinplished marvels in San Quentin. I understand
rJ others the "Garden Beautiful" has been a splendid
lium of good among the inmates of San Quentin.

1 is a custom among the prisoners to call an inmate
j' is first name to which is added the name of the place
ii;as born in, so the first gardener was called "Pat
P, me," and it has been decided to perpetuate the
l^e in the gardeners, adding the numeral. No. Ill
I' soon be in charge, as No. I is released and No. II
»; soon be free.

' am not a sickly sentimentalist but I love flowers and
i( ;ve they are provocative of much good, and wish to
;i "The Garden Beautiful" publicity, and help to make
h idea universal.

allows the account written from San Quentin prison
at Tyrone the Second :

there is, in California, a penitentiary which long has
ip recognized as one of the most important penal in-
titions in the United States. It is interesting to note
li a historical review of San Quentin prison is con-
i rably enhanced and exalted by recent chronicles
\lch includes the history of "The Garden Beautiful."
Cs garden is an institution within an institution and
rrobably is the only one of its character in the world,
^ring the past year a great many visitors have been
l|Ply impressed by the results obtained, after four
/jrs endeavor, to create in this bleak, little world, a
'UU replica of the great, celebrated "Garden Beauti-
ii ' of the Euphrates. Inside the frowning gray walls
jQuentin sightseers discover a garden of radiant glow-
( flowers and richly scented, warm tinted Roses.

;!ut the best results — the real, true, worthwhile re-
sts [the effect on its inmates] are not apparent. As
i; appraising eye of the visitor casts about to fix the
\ut of "The Garden Beautiful" he can only see what
[■ji been done with the garden itself — he cannot see
vat has been done with the lives of men. Even the
R spective does not reval the good that is constantly at
\rk through the subtle but positive suggestion of the
jlnderful flowers. Those of our readers who love
rwers, and have some conception of their value as a
||ans of incitement to cause men to aspire to higher
ijials, will be glad to read this brief article about "The
t rden Beautiful" and learn of its lofty purpose.

The most difficult task that has been assigned the
';iter, in connection with "The Garden Beautiful," is
t write a competent outline of its history within a

ascribed number of words. It is impossible to pro-

:t the history of "The Garden Beautiful" in this short

article. Of its inception and accomplishment, I will try
to write comprehensively in as few words as possible.
Its scope and point of view must be determined before
the reader can grasp the importance and significance of
the stupendous undertaking. One must have a mental
picture of the whole United States, and calculate the
effects and benefits of an influence which is felt in
every State wherever there is a family group whose
circle is broken by some member's enforced absence
through the application of the criminal laws of Cali-
fornia. There are at present more than two thousand
men confined in San Quentin and these men have come
from every State in the Union. There is not a State
that has not contributed its quota to the population of
this sad, somber monastery, and these men have all left
their mothers, wives and children under circumstances
that force sorrow and suffering upon them all.

The life of the man in San Quentin is reflected in his
home, wherever it may be, and there are countless num-
bers back "there" who are sharing his misery, and they
are intensely grateful for any message that assuages the
hurt and tempers the pain. When they learn that the
punitive institution wherein their loved one is confined
permits band concerts on Sundays and holidays, and
that a profusion of beautiful flowers bloom in the prison
gardens, they realize that their erring sons, fathers,
brothers or husbands are not in surroundings that are
altogether bad. When a mother or a wife or a little
daughter receives a letter from San Quentin, and that
letter contains a dainty, sweet flower, as many of them
do, they are given an expression of love that could
never be expressed in words. That is the highest testi-
monial to the methods employed by the officials who at
present govern San Quentin.

In January, 1895, Samuel L. Randolph came to San
Quentin in the employ of the State and, as time gave
him the opportunity, he undertook to bring about the
transition in the prison yard that makes the description
of that yard as it is today the very antithesis of what it
was in 1895. Because of his particular fitness for the
job he was called upon to take charge of the work that
would convert the old, rought, ill-kept prison yard,
with its broken, uneven brick walks and water-filled
depressions, into a graded, well laid out yard that was
to gradually undergo a transformation into a beautiful
flower garden. In his quiet, unassuming way, he super-
intended the task that was destined to mark an innova-
tion in the prison world. The old. Irregular and re-
pulsive features gave way to graceful, symmetrical lines
and smooth lawns, while well proportioned plots were
divided by concrete walks that were set oflt with trim
curbs and attractive pedestals, the whole perfected by
a series of pretty angles and perfect curves.

Early in his career Captain Randolph laid the founda-
tion for what is now a famous garden. In 1906 Mr. Ran-
dolph was elevated to the rank of Captain, and in that
capacity he hs served the State to the present day. More
than twenty thousand men have passed under his rule
since he has been Captain, and out of that number there
was one who brought a most remarkable determination
to combine his efforts with his commanding officers'
purpose to create "The Garden Beautiful." We will
call him "Tyrone, the First," because he will always be
known to his "Garden Beautiful" friends as the first
"Tyrone" of the organization known as the "Abou Ben
Adhem Club." Coupled to his ambition was an unful-
filled dream of childhood, and back of these two dyna-
mics was the powerful force of a nature that was in-
herited from a loving mother who had surrounded her-
self with beautiful flowers. Tyrone saw, at San Quen-
tin, the stage-setting of his child dream and he set to
work to make that dream come true — and Captain Ran-
dolph gave him the chance.

The history of "Tyrone" and "The Garden Beautiful"
from the time he first leaned upon his crutches and
gazed at the scene is a long story in itself ; space for-
bids it here ; suffice to say that he needed association
with just such a man as Captain Randolph and under
the Captain's admonishments he developed a character
that will undoubtedlv hold him steady and true on the
right course as he moves on through the years. That
is one instance that proves that the "God Idea" is a real,
genuine, compelling force, which can be exercised in the
redemption of the fallen ; the many specific cases where
this has been demonstrated proves that it should be
practised in every penal institution in the country.

The "Abou Ben Adhem Club" members, and others
who have contributed so generously to this splendid
enterprise, will perhaps never know the tremendous
value of what they have done; if they ever do they will
feel richly repaid in the knowledge of having made the
best investment that was ever made in a penal institu-

tion. Men pass through a renascent stage while incar-
cerated in prison ; there is a period of change, and the
fruit of "The Garden Beautiful" is— new manhood, new
character. • » • The importance of environment caniiot
be exaggerated and "The Garden Beautiful" is an in-
spiration,

1 have already exceeded the word limit imposed iipon
me, and I haven't even mentioned one of the little inci-
dents, such as the little bunch of Violets that was sent
from San Quentin to a dying mother, and which is only
one of the untold number of little things that have
made "The Garden Beautiful" big. When it comes to
the last word in reformation, the prison officials of San
Quentin have "Said it with Flowers."

Protection of Raisers of New Plants

.\t a recent council meeting of the British Chamber
of Horticulture, F. J. Chittenden, F. L. S. V. M., H. was
invited to express his views upon the above subject be-
fore the committee appointed to inquire into the possi-
bilities.

The following, taken from the Horticultural Trade
Journal, indicates that this knotty problem is far from
being solved.

Mr. Chittenden stated at the outset that the views he
would express were entirely his own. He agreed that
the raisers of new varieties should receive the fullest
recompense and recognition.

There were two categories of plants: (1) Perennials,
capable of vegetable propagation; (2) Plants raised
from seed.

Method of protection, and mode of ensuring satisfac-
tory recompense to raiser : —
1. Restriction of right to propagate ; entails (o) regis-
tration of recognizable description, (6) circulation
of warning of protection, (c) the right to prosecute
for infringement of protection,
3. Restriction of right to propagate to the raiser, and
sale on the understanding that none of the plants
shall leave the hands of the purchaser, again involv-
ing registration with an accurate and recognizable
description.
The registration of new plants is much like patenting,
but differs from it in certain ways. A patented article
is a finished thing, but a plant is not; different plants
have different periods in which to come to maturity. So
many "new varieties" are not the result of long work
and study, but just come about by chance. If a plant
were patented, or legally protected a large number of
prosecutions would be necessary to ensure the collection
of royalties. There is no method of marking plants,
such as the secret marks of a patented article. There
are many instances of two or more persons raising the
same thing. A patent is often the result of prolonged
experiment and careful calculation, whereas a new plant
is frequently the result of Nature's work. With regard
to the protection of the name, he asked if this really
was worth while — in a large number of cases it is not,
as it leads to the multiplication of names, which most
of us deplore. Multiplication of names is not in the
best interests of horticulture. The best means of gain-
ing a recompense for new varieties lies with the man
who raises them, without any legal protection. He
should be assured of the value of the plant he raises,
and he should work up a big stock and advertise well.

The effective registration of names of new plants is a
desirable thing, but this in itself is not sufficient. It is
most desirable that there should be a photographic
record made of the plant, so as to bring out its salient
points, and, in certain circumstances there should be
preserved specimens. It is also extremely desirable that
some understanding be arrived at as to the kind of name
to be used. Ofttimes names are too long, and are apt
to be confused with others. When a plant is brought
from one country to another the name it is known by
in the country of origin should be translated into the
language of the country to which it is imported.

A scheme for an International Bureau for the regis-
tration of names of new plants has recently been circu-
lated, but it seems to fall short of what might be done.
Effective registration entails the use of a full and ac-
curate description of each plant, and the provision made
in the scheme is totally inadequate. Further, the de-
scription should be drawn up by a competent person,
and raisers are not always competent in this direction.
Everything depends upon the accuracy of a description.
The public has a right to know what it purchases, and
this can only be secured by having one name for one
thing, universally applied and understood.

Who Won ? — Two punsters made a wager to tell the funniest
yarn. The first said he knew a lady who was "turned into
wood." "Impossible!" said the second. "You see," was the
reply, "the lady was placed on a vessel and then she was
'aboard.' " "Very good," said No. 2; "but listen to this.
Once I knew a man who had been deaf and dumb for 20 years,
but last week he regained speech in one minute." "Non-
Bense!" commented No. 1. "Well," rejoined No. 2, "the man
went into a bicycle shop and, stooping down, picked up a
wheel and 'spoke.'". — P.

J^^J\.2\. Asbestos

Black Glazing' Cement

None better at any price. Why pay more? Buy by mail and
save money. Hundreds of satisfied users from coaist to coast

A practical glazing material made for application in a practical manner. No clumsy, slow working tools nec-
essary— simply a putty bulber or two and a filling gun to load same — furnished free to users.

Ajax Black Glazing Cement has been used throughout the country for several years with excellent results. Easily applied with a bulber. No clumsy tools oecesary
To prospective purchasers we can give names of satisfied users in every greenhouse center — over a hundred names

in Chicago locality alone. ^^^ Affected by Extreme Heat or Cold

Our product is a cement-like composition of Asbestos Fibres, and heavy, semii-drying hydro-carbon oils. Its
exceptionally long life is due to the fact that it never thoroughly hardens like old-fashioned white putty. The out-
side surface (w^hich is exposed to the oxygen of the air) forms a resilient tough skin, below which the material
remains soft and plastic. Because of this w^e guarantee that the coldest weather will not cause it to become brittle
or pull away. On the other hand our product is warranted not to sag or run in extremely hot weather due to its
being interlaced with the Asbestos Fibres.

As Ajax Black Glazing Cement never thoroughly hardens, glass glazed with it can be shifted when desired
without the loss of breakage that so often results when hard drying white putties are used.

Lower Cost Than White Putty

Compared with the old-fashioned White Lead putties, Ajax Black Glazing Cement not only lasts years longer,
but is a great deal lower in initial cost. One gallon is sufficient to glaze 500 lineal feet of sash.

Washington, D. C.

Trade Condition^

Business has been good. The pres-
ence in Washington last week of thousands
of visitors attending the convention, of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, boosted sales of flowers of all kinds.
However, the flowers seeming to meet with
most favor were of the old-fashioned va-
rieties, probably because of their colors;
English Primrose, Snapdragon and Corn-
flower moved well. The colonial colors
of buff and blue of course predominated in
in the general decorations.

Peonies from the South have been com-
ing into the market in quantities. The
few good ones among them have sold well.
It is predicted that there will be a short
crop of Peonies this year for the rea-
son that they were very far advanced
when the recent frost nipped them. "This
will be a blessing," said one man, 'Taecause
they are coming in ahead of time. This
is n Memorial Day flower and usually
large shipments go North. It is not a
very much wanted flower except for Me-
morial Day use."

The market has been heavy on North-
ern Valley. It came in just about the
time of the arrival of local outdoor stock
and the price dropped from S8 to §3 and
84 a 100. It was only at these greatly
reduced prices that it could be moved.
The outdoor stock was very good and
readily brought §2 a 100.

Easter Lilies have been in good de-
mand right along for funeral work. They
are bringing $15 and §20 a 100, almost
as much as during the Winter. It is
getting late now for Callas and they are
very small and rather undesirable.

The market is heavy on Sweet Peas and
all sorts of prices prevail, the growers and
■wholesalers often having to sacrifice
profits to dispose of their holdings. Car-
nations are running in price from $3 to
§6, but they are getting small, showing the
advancing season's effects.

Roses are good. Some very fine Rus-
sell and Hadley are being offered at up
to §30 a 100, although cheaper grades
can be had at as low as §8.

Local News

Otto Bauer, manager of the local
S. S. Pennock store, has secured a house
at Mayo, Md., for the Summer, where
he and his family can have week end out-
ings. All Mr. Bauer has to do is throw
a baited hook out his back window (if
the line is long enough) and pull in fish,
eels, crabs and other sea food. Paul Bauer,
son of ilr. Bauer, has turned farmer and
has a garden which will produce all the
vegetables needed by the family during
the sojourn there. The property lies on
the Rhodes River.

Adolph Gude of Gude Bros. Co., with !
Mrs. Gude, has gone to Wernersville, Pa., I
where he expects to remain some weeks I
in an effort to regain his health. Mr.
Gude has not been quite himself for some
weeks and he was ordered to take a long
rest. He will be located at the Grand
Hotel at that place, secluded from all mat-
ters pertaining to business.

President Otto Bauer of the Florists
Club of Washington, announces that the
next meeting of the club will be held
Monday, May 2, in the rooms of the Wash-
ington Chamber of Commerce. The prin-
cipal business will be the consideration of
plans for entertaining the delegates who
will attend the coming convention of the
S. A. r. and 0. H.

'"Big Bill" Gude has been figuring quite
prominently in the limelight of late. He
has been mentioned as a likely candi-
date for appointment as a member of the
District of Colxmibia Rent Board. The
rent law of the District was recently held
constitutional by the Supreme Court and
ie one of the most important commissions
now operating. There is a vacancy on
the board brought about by the resigna-
tion of Captain James F. Oyster, who has
been made a member of the Board of
Commissioners of the District of Colum-
bia.

He has also consimimated the purchase
of nearly 100 lots of land adjoining the
Gude Bros, property on Bladensburg
road, and is seeking possession of 200
more. The property already acquired cov-
ers two solid squares and part of an-
other, and there are five streets involved.
This will permit a much needed expansion,
giving the firm new sources of soil sup-
ply-

A feature of this deal is the accession of
a site on which will be built a bimgalow
made as modem as the architects of
Washington can provide, to be occupied
by Ernest Gude, son of William _F. and
nephew of Adolph Gude, and his new
bride. Young Mrs. Gude was Miss Ruth
Baird, a Washington girl. They were mar-
ried late in March.

Among recent florist visitors to Wash-
ington were J. R. McKenzie, of Cam-
bridge, Mass.; Frank Edgar, of Waverly,
Mass.; D. W. Popendrecht of Sassenheim,
Holland, and J. H. Res, representing R. A.
"Vanderschoot, of Hillegom, Holland.

Dayton, 0. — Zetlitz Floral Products
Co. is adding a landscape service depart-
ment to its enterprises. Harry A. Bun-
yard, late of New York, is its consulting
director and will call upon those who
are desirous of beautifying their home
grounds, submitting ideas and plans. No
charge will be made for this service if
the Zetlitz Co. is to furnish the stock

Florists Welcome Ease Up in Business

General business is easing up some-
what, and there is a growing scarcity o£
flowers. There has been considerable de-
sign work, and lately there have been
<iuite a few decorations, so that no com-
plaints are heard. Business has been !
consistently good for many months, and
the florists are not complaining at its eas- j
ing up. ■

W. E. Groves of Hamilton and W. J. I
Gammage of London were recent visitors '
to Toronto. |

G. il. Geraghty and J. J. Higgi^s are ,
taking in the publicity banquet of the i
Buffalo Florists Club. I

The Toronto F. T. D. members are find- i
ing business good, both outgoing and in- |
coming. The Canadian National Tele- [
graph Co. baa signified its intention of
assisting the floral telegraph business
along lines similar to those followed by
the \Vestern Union in the United States.

G. jM. Geraghty, chairman of the Pub-
licity Committee of the Toronto Retail
Florists Club, and his committee are
working on plans for Mother's Day ad-
"vertising. Z^Ir. Geraghty states that from
present indications there will be a plenti-
ful supply of flowers for that occasion.

W. J. Gammage has accepted the chair-
manship of committees for Canada, out-
side of Toronto, for the F. T. D. conven-
tion. The country "will be divided into
districts, and vice-chairmen will be ap-
pointed at once to be responsible to ilr.
Gammage. H. G. Dillemuth stated that
all visitors will be given a real Canadian
welcome, and that all Canadian florists
are to be invited to join in extending it.

Prospects for the bedding business look
good according to Geo. Gard, L. Watres
and S. A. Frost, who are preparing for
a big trade in this line.

Mr. Lye of Tidy & Son was at Petrolia
last week supervising the arrangement

? flowers at the funeral of the late Mr.

■glehart, a well known Canadian na-

tional figure. Flowers were arranged
both at the house and at the mausoleum.
The death occurred this week of
William Chapman, age 96 years, at his
home here. He came to Canada 65 years
ago, from Cornwall, England, and was in
Hamilton for a time, and later in To-
ronto, in high class gardening work. He
was gardener for Hon. Isaac Buchanan,
Sir Casimir (?2owski and at St. Alban's
and Kendall Squares.

Farquliar in Favor of Botanic Garden

John K. M. L. Farquhar of Bos-
ton addressed the Board of Trade here
this week on the Botanical Garden
scheme. He outlined the development of
such gardens and stated that there were
only three in North America, namely, the
Bronx, New York; the Shaw of Missouri;
and the Arnold Arboretum at Boston.
Toronto was the logical place for a fourth.
He visited the sites available and thought
one ought to be procured at once. He
would utilize some of the ravines around
Toronto. On the sunny slopes could be
grown plants now grown 500 miles south
of here, and on the shady sides plants
thriving 300 miles to the north.

Prof. R. B. Thomson, speaking after-
ward, stated that he was glad the Board
of Trade was going to get behind this
scheme, for if it did it would surely be
a success.

To Aid Colonists in Horticulture

The regular meeting of the Gar-
deners and Florists Association was held
on April 18, with President F. D. Clark
in the chair. P. L. Whytock, who had
just returned from a two months' stay
in the "Old Country," gave a travel talk
on his visits to the various gardens there.
J. Lockie Wilson was also present, and
gave an outline of the growth of interest
in horticulture. He spoke of the number
of gardeners and florists coming out here
from the Old Country, and stated that
he would be glad to assist in any way he
could in getting the government to ap-
point a commission to look after such

immigrants and see that they are properly
located in suitable positions. 1 nose in-

about the commission through the immi-
gration officials at home.

Messrs. Whytock and Wilson were ap-
pointed a committee to interview the
Minister of Agriculture and see what
steps are necessary in order to have such
a conunission appointed.

The Winter Fair will be held Nov. 17
to 25, and an appropriation of §200 was
voted for this year. At least 83000 will
be given in prizes, and the following com-
mittee was appointed to arrange prize
list: Thomas Manton, John Mills, P. L.
Whytock, W. P. Hodgetts, G. M. Geraghty
and Mr. Evans.

A special meeting will be held at Sir
John Eaton's, on Mav 2, on invitation of
P. L. Whytock. G. M. Geraghty will re-
port on the floral exhibition in connection
with the Canadian National Exhibition.

Montreal, Que.

The past week has been good for the
florists generally. Stock is coming in in
good shape and the florists' stores look
gay with Spring flowers. Antirrhinum or
Snaps, as they are better known, are
excellent. Roses are also good and in
demand; Carnations not so plentiful,
that is quality stock; there are plenty
of second raters. The stores call for
the best these days and are willing to
pay for them. There has been a good
crop of weddings: Cupid has been busy
since his enforced rest during the Lenten
season. McKenna Ltd. has had some
good decorations of late; the large Capital
Theatre used up a lot of palms and
plants, as also did the new theatre
(Papineau) . This firm is able to take
care of decorations of this description,
as they always carry a large stock of
palms, etc.

On Tuesday, April 18, the council of
the ^Montreal Gardeners and Florists Club
had its monthly meeting, Dan ilcDonnall
in the chair in the absence of Charlie
Smith, who met with a very painful ac-
cident whilst helping in the construction
of a new greenhouse. He stepped on the
end of a loose plank with the usual re-
sult. No bones were broken, but one of
his legs was badly denuded of its epi-
dermis. However, he is now all right
again.

The Market

April 26. — The arrivals of staple
and miBcellaneous flowers appear to be
no larger than normal for the season.
The demand continues to be somewhat
spasmodic; for instance, on Friday of
last week sales were a little larger and
on Saturday there were the largest sales
of the week; on Monday the demand was
fair but not equal to that of Saturday,
while today, Tuesday, trading is light and
the outlook is that it will be so until
Friday comes around again.

American Beauty Koses are in medium
supply; special grade blooms are selling
at 25c. to 60c. each, with occasional sales
of choice selections at 75c.; other grades
are bringing proportionate prices. Of
other Roses there is a fair supply of all
varieties; prices remain about the same
as those of last week, toj) grade blooms
bringing 5c. to 15c. each in general, but
Hadley, Crusader and Premier are selling
for 25c. and Key for 60c. No. 2 grade
blooms are selling at $2 to $4 per 100.

The moderately large arrivals of Car-
nations are moving out fairly well at $4
to ?5 per 100 for select grade blooms,
with occasional sales of |6 for extra
choice and at $2 to 3 for the other grades.

There is an increasing sui)ply of Cat-
tleyas which are moving fairly well at
Z5q. to $1 each. A limited number of
the blooms of the variety Gigas are seen.
The supply and price of Gardenias remain
about the same; they are selling at 50c.
to $3 per doz. Lily of the Valley is in
much larger supply, and includes that
grown outdoors; prices have declined
sharply, ranging from $2 to $6 per 100.
The mediiun supply of Lilies is moving
rather slowly at $10 to $20 per 100.

There are only a few kinds of bulbous
flowers in the market in any quantity.
Daffodils are mostly over, the few remain-
ing arrivals realizing 25c. to 50c. per
bunch. Callas are in abundant supply
and are meeting with a rather sluggish
demand at 75c. to $2 and occasionally $2.50
per doz. There are small arrivals of
Spanish Iris at $1 to $3 per doz. and
Gladioli at $2.50 to $3. The arrivals of
Antirrhinum are not quite as large, and
the same is true of Calendula, Mignonette,
Myosotis and Panaies. Yellow Daisies
are in large supply and there are large
arrivals of Sweet Peas of excellent q^ual-
ity. There is a limited supply of Lilac,
outdoor grown, and a very small supply
of Peonies. Violets are out of the mar-
ket. All of these bulbous and miscellane-
ous flowers are meeting with a moderate
demand at quoted prices.

Greens of all kinds are in sufficient
supply to meet the present demand and
are moving out moderately well at
quoted prices.
Meeting of Executive Cozmnlttee ot

A. F. T. A.

On Monday afternoon of this week
there was a meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Allied Florists Trade
Association of New York held in the
headquarters of the New York Florists
Club and S. A. F. at 43 West 18th st.
Ways and means were discussed to in-
crease the growers' subscriptions and
F. R. Pierson, president of the Growers
Association, promised to take steps toward
helping his district leaders to get in touch
with all growers • shipping to the New
York market. All such growers have
been informed by letters forwarded by the
commission houses of the plans and
progress of the Allied Association, but
there are many who have not shown their
interest yet or perhaps are lacking in
their faith in advertising. Members of
the committee who come in contact with
retailers, report that many of these were

enthusiastic about the proposed collec-
tion of one-half of one per cent begin-
ning on May 1. Others are writing to
see "who's who?" To these it might be
suggested that one sure way to get gen-
eral action is to fall in line themselves
and set the proper example. Mr. Hen-
shaw, president of the Allied Florists
Trade Association, reminded the com-
mittee of the fact that from the inception
of the allied movement it was understood
that 25 per cent of the total fund col-
lected is to be turned over to the National
Campaign Committee. It was unanimously
decided to discharge this obligation at an
early date.

Sol. Hanfling Goes Abroad

Sol Hanfling of S. Hanfling Co.,
131-133 W. 28th St., will sail for Europe
on the S. S. Lapland on May 7. Mr. Han-
fling will remain abroad several months
and during this time he will visit Bel-
gium, France, Germany and England.
This is a business trip, the purpose of
which is to look up novelties in these
several countries and to place orders for
goods for next AutJumn and Winter's
trade. Louis Hanfling of this company
reports that the present sales of the
general line of florist supplies are quite
satisfactory for this season of the year.

We noted on Wednesday of this week
at Geo. C. Siebreeht's, wholesale florist,
some of the finest blooms of Spanish Iris
which we have ever seen in the New York
market. When this Iris is well grown,
it is indeed a beautiful flower and in the
delicacy and attractiveness of its blooms,
almost becomes a rival of the Cattleya of
commerce. It is truly named the Poor
Man's Orchid.

It is reported that there will be a
change of quarters in the case of some of
the wholesale florists on 28th st. next
month, but the time is not yet ripe for
a definite announcement.

Lilac and Peony Blooms

Every year in its season outdoor
grown Lilac is a large feature in the ar-
rivals of blooming shrubs in the New
York wholesale market and after Lilac is
over, the Peony becomes a still larger and,
in some seasons, an almost overwhelming
feature in the market. This season, the
early Lilac which usually comes from Bal-
timore, Washington and Southern New
Jersey, was injured to such an extent as
to be almost worthless by the cold snap
which, accompanied by snow, came a little
after Easter. The result is that the only
good Lilac coming into the market is from
Long Island where the blooms were not so
far advanced at the time of the freeze
and, it is possible that after this is over,
there will be some Lilac coming in from
Connecticut and Massachusetts.

As regards Peonies, the outlook is, as
judged from present observation and es-
timates, very bad. It is estimated that
the after Easter freeze destroyed from 50
to 90 per cent of the Peony buds in the
Southern Chester Co., Pa., from which
very large numbers of Peonies come into
the New York market every year. The
early varieties were hardest hit. The va-
riety Banaki, a tree Peony, which, comes
into the market earlier than the blooms
of herbaceous varieties, was entirely des-
troyed and the old time early red variety,
officinalis, shared the same fate. The early
pink variety, Madame Forel, and Eugene
Verdier, are reported to be almost a total
loss, while Edulis Superba, a Memorial Day
variety, was also very hard hit. Of the
favorite white Memorial Day variety, Fes-
tiva Maxima, it is estimated that there
will be no more than a 40 per cent crop.
To perpetuate the memory of the 800
heroes and heroines from the Borough of
the Bronx, who gave their lives in re-
sponse to the call of the Nation, a tree to
each of the men and women on the roll of
honor will be dedicated on Memorial Day.

Sharon, Mass.

Garrett de Langen of Norwood, Pa., is
changing his location to Sharon, Mass.,
where he has secured a 55 acre farm for
the purpose of growing Gladioli on a
large scale. The farm which, in future,
will be known as The Sharon Gladiolus
Gardens, is 18 miles from Boston and is
situated on the state road leading to
Providence. The soil and location is emi-
nently well suited to Gladiolus culture
and there is every reason for the assump-
tion that the new venture will prove a
great success.

MassachusettsHorticuIturalSociety

The annual report for the year 1920
is to hand. It differs from those of the

f>ast as much of the matter relating to
ectures, etc., is now published monthly
in bulletin form. The report is, there-
fore, simply a record of committee doings.
The work of the various committees
during the year 1920 is described in de-
tail. With a trifle less than 1000 mem-
bers, it is astonishing what a great
amount of work is accomplished by this
society.

A complete list of officers and members
is embodied in the report.

ing up in price; in fact, it is rather
strange to note the way some things jump
by leaps and bounds. On Saturday after-
noon, about 2 o'clock, you could buy a
good No. 1 White Killarney Rose of the
Budlong Rose Co. for ten cents; at 3
o'clock they were twenty cents. This
is a thing that is hard to understand;
we suppose a flying demand still controls
the stock market.

All the florists in the city have been
kept busy the past few days with fimeral
work. Johnston Brothers were probably
the busiest, having a large casket cover
of orchids and Lily of the Valley for
the funeral of M. J. Slattery. Mr. Slat-
tery's death made occasion for a wealth
of floral tributes, as did also the death
of Mr. Richardson, one of the oldest
stock brokers of this city; it is hard to
say which funeral made the _ heavier de-
mand. T. O'Connor had his share of
funeral work, as did also Colonial Flower
Shoppe, Bowers, T. J. Johnson Co. and
McCarron.

The Colonial Flower Shoppe has the
large Aid rich- White wedding in this
city on April 30. The house is to be
decorated with Gardenias, Apple Blos-
soms, Spanish Iris, and Farleyense
fern.

Archie C. Akin and Page F. Potter
of this concern have purchased the well
known Brown farm, consisting of 15
acres, a modern house, barn, coldframes
and poultry outfit. They will develop
the farm into nurseries, and they ex-
pect to get part of their supplies fot
the Shoppe.

Gordon Macrae expects to tour
through Connecticut, New York State,
possibly into Canada for his health.
Speaking of the Macrae's it would do
one good to take a look at the houses of
Geraniums and bedding stock. John Ma-
crae is a veteran florist, and he sure
knows how to grow the stock. P. F. P.

Trimming Large Maples

Will you please advise us if it is in-
jurious to Maple trees to saw off limbs,
6in. to Sin. thick, from 30ft. to 40ft. from
ground? We would like to know if it
will cause the limb or branch, where it
has been sawed off, to split when the new
growth starts; that is, when the tree gets
older, will this place where the branch
has been cut off be diseased and split?

We would also like to have you advise
us what kind of Willows to plant along
a creek bank. — C. G. Co.

If bra^nches 6in. to Sin. thick are
lateral ones on old trees and the cuts are
made close to main trunk, then painted
to preserve the wood until healing tissue
or cambium grows over the cuts, the tree
is not likely to suffer by the removal of
the branches. It may be necessary to
repaint these cuits annually until the
growth grows over them completely.

If, however, our correspondent refers to
"topping" or removal of terminal
branches or leaders, then the cuts will
not heal as there are no remaining
branches above to furnish the descending
sap which forms the healing tissue. De-
cay will set in, leaving a weakness at this
point, despite the fact that the cambium
may, after several years, "roll" or grow .
over the decayed wound. Yes, the limb
will invariably branch out below the cut,
and it is to one or more of these branches
that one must depend upon to form a
new head or leader, but these may require
several years to develop. Meanwhile,
the decayed stub which forms as a result
after cutting must be removed one or two
years later, below the seat of decay, hack
to the new branch which has developed
as a result of the "topping." By careful
pruning, over several years, one may
avoid decay which ensues from topping,
but it requires an expert to do the work.
Silver or soft Maples will outgrow a
wo\md sooner than Sugar Maples, the
latter resenting all heavy cutting, and
often die from effects of topping. Nor-
way Maple will withstand topping to a
limited extent, as will Sycamore and
Ash-leaved Maples. Presumably, there is
a reason for wanting to cut back the
trees, otherwise better confine the prun-
ing to thinning out of supernuoufl
branches and dead wood.

As to Willows for creek bank, if for
landscape effect, would recommend Weep-
ing or Babylonian; if for Winter bark
effect, the Golden Weeping Saliof vertni-
nalis aurea pendiila. Yellow Bark S.
vitellina. Red Bark 8. v. Britzensis. The
Laurel Leaved S. pentandra has splendid
glossy leaves. The Basket Willow is sug-
gested if one wants a low grower and to
provide by annual cutting "switches"
used for tying nursery stock in bundles.
If there is a market for Pussy Willow
Salico caprea, plant it, but beware of ,
borers at the base of stem or trunk.

The Market

Aijril 25. — While the week just
closed brought much improvement in the
demand and better prices, there is room
for more improvement. The supply and
demand in the early part of the past week
balanced fairly but toward the close of
the week there was more stock than could
be moved at satisfactory prices. The
shipping tradcj always the main outlet for
the dealers, was quite active showing the
big Spring crops with other growers in
various sections had passed away and this
market was again called on for the full
limit of supply from customers for hun-
dreds of miles around. There is not
much activity in local buying, while there
are occasional weddings, store and theatre
openings, the chief of demand is for
funeial work stock.

The supply of Roses, while not large, is
slightly more than can be moved at sat-
isfactory prices; some fine stock has been
sold at $15 a 100 that otherwise should
have brought twice that amount. Short
stock is sold for §2 a 100 and up to $6
with §8 and §10 for medium grades.
American Beauty is not in large supply,
but what there is finds no difficulty in se-
curing purchasers at remimerative prices.

Carnations are plentiful and are sold
at varying prices according to quality from
§2 to §6 a 100. Laddie still holds sway
as a leader in point of price, all stock mov-
ing at about ?10 a 100.

With the exception of Darwin Tulips,
little bulbous stock is seen on the market.
There are plenty of Easter as well as
Calla Lilies, both of which require some
pushing to keep each day's supply out of
the way. Sweet Peas have been selling
better and are favorites with most buy-
ers, the quantity is holding up fairly well,
but there is a slight deterioration in point
of quality, as the greenhouse crops are
guickly approaching the end of their sea-
son.

In the general line of miscellaneous
stock there is less than ever; outside of
Roses, Carnations and Lilies, the supply
of everything else is remarkably low.
The first Peonies of the season have made
their appearance and as reports have it
that the crops came through the cold snap
unhurt, they will be a predominant fea-
ture on the market before many weeks.
Many of the dealers are depending on
them for the mainstay of the supply for
Mother's Day. Snapdragons are a feature
with some dealers, but all do not handle
them. There is a good supply of home
grown Cattleyas, and Valley is to be had
sufficiently for all demand. There are
some Lupins, Yellow Daisies, Candytuft,
Ten Week Stock and Pansies. The sup-
ply of ferns from cold storage is grad-
ually on the decline and prices continue
to go up accordingly; good stock ia now
selling for $6 per 1000.
News jNotes

The most popular flower in Chi-
cago the past week were the Dandelions.
In the city parks they were in full bloom,
along the roadsides and through the
Forest Preserve. Thousands of Chicago-
ans were out gathering them. Believers
in the Volstead Amendment Act were
merely picking for salad; others not in-
clined to this belief, were gathering the
blooms only. It is said the Taraxacum
officinalis blossoms make a delightful con-
coction which, when properly compounded,
has a considerable "kick."

The opening of the new Roosevelt Thea-
tre, Saturday afternoon, on State st. near
Randolph, was the occasion of the use
of a profusion of flowers. The entrance
on both sides was banked with handsome
floral pieces and baskets. On the stage
and in every available place in the thea-
tre flowers were freely used. Many re-
tailers who had orders came to the whole-
sale market, where they secured the stock,
arranged in baskets, etc., and delivered
direct to the theatre only a block and a
half away.

A memorial to Peter Reinberg, seven
years president of the Cook County Board
of Commissioners, is under consideration,
and will probably resolve itself into the
naming of one of the districts in the
Forest Preserve after Mr. Reinberg. A
granite boulder, bearing a bronze tablet
with an appropriate inscription, will
probably be placed therein.

The usual flower show was held in the
City Hail, Monday night, to mark the in-
auguration of new members into the City
Council. Ten new members took their
seats, the result of the April election.
A profusion of floral gifts began arriving
at the City Hall at noon, and continued
to reach the council chamber until a late
hour. Such occasions as these are wel-
come to the trade, especially in times like
the present.

Irvin Stein of Seligman and Stein, im-
porters of florists' specialties, New York
City, who is still a resident of Chicago,
was initiated into the Chicago Lodge,
B. P. O. E., Thursday evening to the
great satisfaction of many friends in the
trade already members of this popular so-
cial and fraternal organization.

There was much sympathy in trade
circles for John Weiland, the popular
Evanston florist, last week on account of
the death of his three year old daughter,
Doris, who was killed on April 19, in front
of his home on Greenwood boulevard when
she was struck by an auto. Little Doris
had gone out on the lawn of the Weiland
residence to play with her new kiddy
car, which had run down into the street
when the heavy auto ran into her.

The Westcenter Business Men's Asso-
ciation had a big celebration on the 19th
inst., the occasion was the opening of the
new Senate theatre and the Madison &
Kedzie State bank at the intersection of
Madison st. and Kedzie ave. There was
a parade in the evening four miles long,
in which all the business houses in that
section of the city were 'represented, the
streets being handsomely illuminated and
decorated the entire length of the line
of march. There were three handsome
floats in the parade by West Side flo-
rists; H. N. Bruns, Schiller's and Frauen-
felder. Inc., did the honors for the trade.
H. N. Bruns is treasurer, and rode in
state with the officers of the association.

Tony Gabel, Carnation grower for the
Poehlmann Bros. Co., reports the wonder-
ful flowering qualities of the new white
seedling Carnation, Thos. C. Joy, which
they are growing for Western distribu-
tion. So far this season, it has produced
two and one-half blooms per plant to one
of Matchless. It used to be said that a
Carnation of freer blooming qualities than
Matchless was beyond the reach of all ex-
pectancy.

On the evening of May 5, the students
of the department of floriculture of the
University of Illinois will present to the
members of the Chicago Florists Club their
unique dramatic performance "In a Flower
Shop." All who have seen this perfor-
mance, which has been presented a few
times at the University, speak highly of
its entertaining features. The entertain-
ment is to be followed by a dance. Tick-
ets are now on sale with the committee
at $1, ladies free, the committee feeling
this necessary to aid in meeting the
necessary expense of giving this enter-
tainment. All the various branches of
the trade are invited together with their
friends, as the committee is doing every-
thing possible to make it an evening of
great pleasure to all connected with the
trade. The entertainment will be given
in the reyular meeting rooms of the club
in the Randolph Hotel.

The Commercial Flower Growers of
Chicago held their regular monthly meet-
ing at the Hotel Randolph Thursday
evening, the 21st inst. The Wholesale Cut
Flower Dealers Association also had a
meeting on Friday following. The prob-
lem of financing the general advertising
campaign for the coming season is the
paramount issue for discussion of both
these associations. The commercial
flower growers are fully organized show-
ing nearly 100 per cent. The wholesalers
lack cooperation of several houses to
make a complete organization. It is in
the ranks of retailers that the real schism
exists. So slow have they been in align-
ing themselves with the trade bodies for
advertising purposes that there is a move
on foot to leave them out all together.
Others propose a charge of one per cent
plus the amount of every sale ticket. Each
side has strong supporters, but the one
per cent charge for advertising purposes
can never be put through without a full
organization on the part of the whole-
salers. A move is on foot this week to
get the wholesalers fully organized when
another meeting will be held on the 29th.

Trade Xotes

April 2 1 . — The past two weei
have brought little change in the busines
conditions which are normal and up t '■
expectations. Funeral flowers are muc
in demand and the out of town call fo
Carnations has much helped the situs
tion. The cloudy weather, too, has lest
ened the supply. A large variety of stOG
that is available, including the quanti
ties of Easter Lilies that came somt
wrat too late to be of use for Easter. Fo
design and spray work these are highl;
appreciated. Most of the Lilies are bein,
sold although they are bringing less thai
Easter money. Roses are plentiful bu
the price is firm; Sweet Peas are pleuti
ful and much in demand. The Lilacs ar>
with us again and, as usual, the call o
the garden is getting the apartment dweU
ers so that there is quite a call for thi
flower. From the prices that private par
ties expect to get the florist would havi
to use gold scales. Marigolds, Primrose,
in colors. Sweet Alyssum, Cecil Brun
ners, Forgetmenots, Pansies, Narcissus
Doronicums, Tulips, Valley, orchids, etc.
gives a good idea of the variety there i;
to choose from at this season of the year

Weddings have been numerous the pas'
week, and some very excellent work ha;
been turned out by some of the shops
Considerable Valley was used up, but wit!
the advent of the outdoor crop of Valley
the indoor stock will be out of the rim
ning; especially where price is an oh
ject.

Potted stock is hardly up to standard
The potted Tulips are missed and the
Hydrangeas are not plentiful enough tc ■
make the shops look as festive as theyj
appeared a few weeks ago.

News Notes

Gustav Weisenstein is cutting hia
Spring crop of Cecil Brunner Roses. He3
is also cutting heavy on Carnations whichi
have been in the benches the secondl
year.

Carl Bestel is bringing in some finel
pots of Forgetmenots; these fill some ofi
the wants of the pot plant customer.

Wm. Hennings of Courtney Station is
bringing in some very fine Smilax. This
firm is specializing in Maidenhair, As-
paragus, Boston and Whitmanii fena
in other words, everything green.

Florists of the city who were able, vis-
ited the Franklyn & Dibble Bulb Farm
at Salem last Sunday and the unanimous
report is that it surpassed in splendor
their highest expectations. They have
about five million bulbs on the place now
and the results so far are highly promis-
ing.

At a recent meeting of the Oregon Flo-
rists Club, at which, we are sorry to
say, there was a small attendance, Mr.
Grafke, representing the community chest,
gave a very interesting talk on Why Port-
land Should Fill Her Up. Mr. Grafke
stated that he was really on the 1925
World's Fair board, and that he \ras
merely helping out the charity forces. He
also enthusiastically outlined what the
1925 Fair would really mean.

J. G. Bacher read a paper on "The Beat
Ad on Earth, a Satisfied Customer." Noth-
ing was done in the matter of the flower
show during the Rose Festival as the
committee was not present.

Timely Sentiments from a New
Book of Verse

Spring Song

The hounds of Spring are on Winter's
track, — i

This phrase may not seem wholly new —
And I am prostrate on my back.

Thinking of all I ought to do.

The earth in green is now arrayed.
The buds are bursting on the trees,

And I am certain I was made '■

Expressly for a life of ease.

Now lovers, strolling hand in hand.
Gaze at the friendly moon on high;

And I should like to imderstand
Why everyone can loaf but I?

Oh, Lord, your Spring is bright and gay,
And sweet and soft and warm and fair;

But get it over quick, I pray.
Or else make me a millionaire.

THE "LOOP"

There are doubtless many readers outside of
ChicaEO who know but little about the "Loop,"
the great business section of Chicago, in which is
located the wholesale cut flower market. It is
pigmy in size, giant in power, and amazing in
compact magnitude. Here, where cows grazed 90
years ago, there are today 163 skyscrapers —
hemmed in by a band of steel — the elevated rail-
roads. Here, what was then the boggy black field
of Fort Dearborn is today a quarter mile area in
which every 24 hours may be counted 300,000
workers, 20,000 street cars, 150,000 vehicles and a
pedestrian population of l.OOO.OCK). Here, bound
up in the clustered portions of 19 streets, are
gathered the main offices of businesses serving the
richest empire of production in the world. Here
is a single block of ground worth $12,000,000.

Chicago's "Loop" district, the area within the
converging circuit of the elevated railway system,
IB more famous perhaps than any other spot on the
globe — a pin point in size compared to the great
area of tne city. It contains the dynamos of
finance, commerce and industry that help to direct
the activities of Middle West America.

Each street has its individual characteristic.
State st, is the world's famous shopping center.
La Salle st. ie an internationally important financial
street. Kandolph st. is the Mecca of theater lovers
west of New York and known to the florists in-
dustry all over the country as the home of the
great wholesale cut flower market. At 30 E.
Kandolph st. more wholesale florists receive their
mail than anywhere else in the world. Recent
changes, have, however, caused several of the
prominent houses to locate around the corner of
Randolph st. on Wabash ave.

The Market

April 26. — With the advent of more
settled and Springlike weather, the market
has improved quite a little this past week.
Not that it is anything very wonderful,
but at any rate a little life has returned
to it, enough so as to stiffen prices a
trifle. With the exception of Snapdragons,
Mignonette and some Sweet Peas, stock
was just about sufficient to clean up
every day. Yellow bulb stock is prac-
tically out of the market and the effect
can be felt in the better demand for other
flowers. Carnations especially. The sale
of bulb stock started much earlier than
usual last Winter, and in spite of the
very large supply right through the sea-
son, the returns from the market have, on
the average, not been bad. At the pres-
ent time the store windows are gay with
sprays of Apple blossoms, Magnolias and
other outdoor flowers. Blue Irises, red
Tulips and the pastel shaded Centaurea
imperialis help the display along.

American Beauty Roses are arriving in
very small lots, hardly ever bringing over
35c. for specials. Other Roses are in full
supply and move well at slightly better
figures. Some extra fine colored Madame
Butterfly are making a hit. This variety
bids fair to become a favorite with the
public and the grower.

Carnations are selling much better, both
as to price and quantity. The arrivals
are not overmuch. The quality is, on
the whole, satisfactory. White Lilies are

still in disfavor and Callas, while they are
freely bought, are too plentiful to improve
in price. There is a good supply of white,
yellow and English Daisies, also some
very nice Auriculas in many colors. Snap-
dragons are overdone; the market cannot
handle all that are coming in, even
though the quality is very good and the
diversity of colors and grades leaves noth-
ing to be desired. Mignonette sells poorly.
Sweet Peas and Pansies are meeting a
normal demand, so do Batchelor Buttons,
Calendulas, etc.

In orchids there is very little of va-
riety. Schrcederse and Mossis are fairly
well represented and the demand is nor-
mal. Cypripedi^uns are totally absent
and of Oncidiums and Odontoglossums only
a few sprays are seen here and there.
Lily of the Valley is not much in de-
mand at present.

New Southern Dagger ferns have ar-
rived. They have come through in splen-
did condition and are selling fast at from
S3 to $-1 per 1000. Other stocks of greens
are, as usual, to be had in any quantity at
the usual price. The retailers generally
report trade as being good to very good.
They are selling much potted stock —
Roses, Hydrangeas, Genistas and ferns.

"Nevrs Items

Harry Spero, the Dock Square flo-
rist, has definitely engaged an additional
store, right across the street, at 29 Dock
Square, which is devoted mainly to the
sale of seeds and pot plants. The loca-
tion is in the very heart of the busiest
market district, and the new store, which
is a very large and well appointed one, is
doing an exceptionally large trade ever
since the opening a few days before

Easter. Harry is known as a hustler and,
to make the thing hum in good shape, he
has taken the agency from the Breck-
Robinson Nursery Co. for the sale of nur-
sery stock, for which in his location there
is a good demand from the many farmers
and market gardeners who every day
bring produce to Fanueil and Quincy
Markets, right nearby.

Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., did some good
work in decorating a number of sales
booths at the "Home Beautiful" exhibi-
tion in Mechanics' Hall, which started
April 16, and is to run for two weeks.
The plantings of flower beds and climbing
Roses, etc., which latter ramble over the
porches and balustrades of the beautiful
models of bungalows and cottages, give
the real touch of naturalness to the whole
affair. Mantel and table decorations, ar-
ranged in the rooms, make these look
refined and homey; they are the delight
of every visitor.

A. N. McCarthy has opened his auc-
tion rooms again on Otis st., as he has
done every Spring for a good many years.
The demand for Roses of all sorts and
for shrubs has been extra good from the
start. Evergreens, of which a very choice
assortment is always on hand, are also
selling well;. The only things which, so
far, have not moved well are Box plants
and Rhododendrons. If any man wants
an hour's fun, let him hie himself to
the auction room, watch the motions and
admire the gift of gab of the autioneer.
But, let him watch out or, before he
knows it, he will be the owner of a hun-
dred or two of "Whatdoyoucallits."

Patriots' Day, April 19, is a well ob-
served holiday in and around Boston, af-
fording small pickings for the salesmen in
the market in any year. This time it was
worse than usual, on acount of the pre-
vailing snow and hailstorm, so that all
hands were glad to dig out when the
market was closed for the day, at 9 a.m.

Young "Johnny" Robinson, who has
charge of the sales department of H. M.
Robinson Co., on the floor of the market,
is up to his neck in work every morning.
The new crop Dagger fern has arrived
from the South; a dandy lot and selling
like hot cakes. With every thousand that
Johnny sells, he throws in one of his
smiles and funny jokes.

Henry A. Zumbrunnen, Auburndale, is
trying hard to develop a superior strain
of pink Snapdragon, which has originated
with him a year or two ago. Henry has
recovered from a bad attack of rheu-
matism and is hustling. like a beaver
to keep ahead of his work. Geraniums
and bedding plants are specialties with
him, but he also has a house of Stocks,
for Memorial Day, coming along.

A. Daniels, manager at 'Tenn's" store,
has been taking a week's vacation in
Buffalo, N. Y. To become engaged to a
fine young lady of that city was good and
sufficient reason for going there. Mr.
Daniels is receiving congratulations from
the great number of his friends.

Another little piece of family history
from "Penn's" store is the news of the
arrival of a healthy, eight pound baby
girl at the home of Morris Clancy, on
April 21. Morris's smile won't come off
for a long while.

The store windows at 'Tenn's" present
a Springlike appearance these days with
their display of Pitcher plants, trailing
Arbutus and other early inhabitants of
the woods growing near and around a
clear pool of water. Last week one win-
dow was filled with Oranges, groT^m and
shipped here by the American Fruit Grow-
ers of Palestine. They have gone now. If
one wishes to know where, better ask
the boys and girls in the store; they
have not forgotten yet how they tasted.

Elijah Gorney and his assistant, J. W.
Ames, took a little three days' ramble,
by auto, to New York, visiting principal
growers on the way and also the flower
stores in the big city. The travelers did
not waste much time, either with repairs
nor on acount of accidents. First day's
dinner was had in New Bedford, second
in New York, and last day in Springfield,
Mass., showing that Elijah is quite some
captain of the motor equipage.

An explosion of the gas range in "Mary
Elizabeth's'' candy kitchen, under the
Park Street Church, on the morning of
Patriots' Day, raised some conmiotion in
the store of Houghton Gorney, which ad-
joins the candy store on the same floor.
A woman in the candy store was killed,
and things in the flower store looked a
trifle wobbly for a moment when the
range blew up; pictures, baskets, etc..

hanging on the walls came tumbling down,
and vases on the tables hopped off.
Otherwise the damage was slight. Mr.
Gorney turned in a still alarm, and in al-
most no time had offers of help from the
nearby stores of Penn, Galvin, Comley
and Zinn. The "Pansy Girl" is not over
the shock yet.

His Eminence, Cardinal O'Connell,
visited the exhibition of native orchids
of New England, at Horticultural Hall,
and freely expressed his admiration of
the work accomplished.

Newport, R. I.

Shipping is still in full blast at the
nurseries here. Small sizes of nursery
stock are sold out in many lines. The
quarantine laws at present in force, as a
protection to American grown stock, beats
all the tariff laws ever enacted. Fortu-
nately for the nursery trade, labor is
more plentiful, and can be hired at lower
rates than for several years.

Newport has adopted Daylight Saving,
but the State of Rhode Island has not.
The railway clocks are on standard time,
but the timetables have been altered to
bring trains in accord with daylight sav-
ing plans. Personally, we in Newport,
very much favor the change, but when in
Middletown, attending meetings of the
Grange with the farmers, we Jekyll and
Hyde like, have to right about face and
go by the sun. A. McL.

Hudson, N. Y. — Work has been started
on the new greenhouse which is to be
erected on a large plot of ground on
Harry Howard ave., for Grover C. Nie-
bergall, of 437 Warren st. Mr. Niebergall
is the proprietor of the Forest Flower
Shop. The King Construction Co. is
building the new place, which is to be
176ft. s 25ft. All the latest innovations
will be adopted in this greenhouse and a
skilled man will be on the spot continually
so that Mr. Niebergall can devote his
time to the flower shop. The plans call
for the completion of the contract on
June 1. The greenhouse is to be built on
a cement wall running the entire length
and breadth of the building. A Rose
house is to be built nest year.

A Poser

The Arnold Arboretum bulletin for
April, in referring to the effect of the

. early Spring, mentions that the Witch
Hazel Hamamelis mollis blooms later,
after a wild Winter. This year it did not
open its flowers until the first week in
March, whereas in the cold Winters of
1915-1916 and 1918-1919 it bloomed on

^ January 26 and February 9 respectively.
The reason is not easy to explain, but
it serves to prove that some plants do
come into bloom more quickly after freez-
ing. We know that Rhubarb and Lily of
the Valley, also Spiraeas, quickly respond
to heat after a spell of freezing; why, no
one seems in a position to explain.

Philadelphia

The Market

April 26. — Business is considered to
be fairly good in the cut flower mar-
ket, with a full supply of all the staples.
Prices may be considered excellent for
this period of the year. The heaviest sup-
ply is confined to Kosea; these are sell-
ing well. The majority of the Carnations
are showing the effect of the heat; the
Sweet Pea supply has fallen off consid-
erably. Callas have dropped off in quality,
but not in quantity. Not many Easter
Lilies and orchids are not so plentiful,
the principal variety now available being
Mossiffi. Snapdragons are selling better
than previously. There is plenty of out-
door Valley.

News from Around

What promises to be one of the
most interesting meetings of the Florists
Club of the season will take place next
Tuesday evening, at the regular meeting.
May 3. J. Otto Thilow will give an illus-

visited the past Winter. It is expected
that this will be the largest meeting of
the year as Mr. Thilow's talks always
bring out a record breaking attendance.
The lecture will be held in the City Club.

Dope for the Cucumber Beetle

The Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion bulletin offers a good remedy for the
above pest. A mixture of one part cal-
cium arsenate and twenty parts of land
plaster has proved superior to twenty-five
other compounds tested. Dusted or blown
on the plants from the time they appear
above the soil the pest Is kept at bay.
During fair weather, two applications a
week are sufficient but after rain the
dust should always be applied. Ten or
twelve applications are usually sufficient
for the season.

Have you ever stopped to tlimk ttat tliere is no MYSTERY in
Success? It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It is based on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that underlie business activity and human life! It
comes from MASTEKY of these laws, and their application to one's
work! To know tbese laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligentlv is sure to bring success whatever one's undertaking .
MASTERY is the key-word, not MYSTERY! The change of one
letter makes all the difference in tbe world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Business conditions are
rapidly changing. Just a short time ago there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more goods
than buyers. Instead of a seller's market, we have a buyer's market.
All business, or in other words, all human activity, in its last analysis
is dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill; the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant his merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice? Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your sales-
manship.

A Refrigerator for Your Flowers

By LESTER G. HERBERT

E\EKV tlurist is interested in ;i refrigerator svliitli
win be economical ot ice and will keep his flowers
at just the right stage of freshness. .\ great many
iieed to put in a new apparatus of this kind, for the
reason that it is poor economy to try to get along with
^n out-dated piece of equipment which does not do the
work well and is unsightly to the eye.

Some people take it for granted that a refrigerator
is a refrigerator just as "Pigs is pigs," but alack and
alas, that is far from being true! Initial cost is not
nearly so important as service and durability. \\"e for-
get the price of things which just fill the bill throughout
years of satisfactory use.

I A Once Over

I If the refrigerator is to stand
in the selling part of the es-
tablishment, it will want to be

I good looking. A painted sur-
face may look all right to start
with, but if the shell is wooden
it will become shabby in time.
Procure a hard wood with

I a natural finish. Oak, ash, or
hard pine are the woods fa-

' vored by most makers. The
metal exteriors have some ad-
vantages, but in the present call

\ for metals of all kinds, these

' are not as commonly met. Take

. time to examine how the
wooden shell is put together.
Are the corners simply mi-
tered or are they dove-tailed

! and locked so that the inevi-
table shrinking and swelling

i will not cause a parting of the

\ seams, thus leading to the even-

; tual discarding of a high-

' priced article ?

Take time, too, to see that

i there are no overhanging

! ledges which will be little bet-
ter than dirt traps. Look to

: the quality and character of the
hinges. The constant opening
and closing demand that these
be durable. See that catches
are of a type which fasten and
unfasten readily or doors will
be left open and ice wasted.
The casters should be large
and should work easily so that
the large, bulky piece of fur-
niture can be rolled aside with-

; out digging a track in the floor of linoleum.

A Look at the Lining

■ The nature and quality of the lining is our next con-

\ cern. There are various substances used — galvanized,

j sheet metal, steel, porcelain finishes, stone and wood.
It is a case of selecting what suits your individual pur-

' pose best. The galvanized metals are commonly em-
ployed for lining the ice chamber and are very satisfac-
tory for this purpose. The storage chambers may be

i lined with a galvanized metal and give good service.
Where food is to be kept in the refrigerator, there is
a marked tendency to favor a porcelain finish, and some

; very fine methods have been evolved of fusing a durable

f finish upon the metal surface. For the storage of flow-
ers, where freedom from putrefactive germs is not as
essential as in storing food, the finish is a matter for

; every man to decide for himself. Some very satisfac-
tory refrigerators are built with wooden interiors, the
shelves being slided and the circulation of air such that
cold, dry heat is insured.

There is a type of refrigerator also with stone lining.
The stone is quarried in great slabs, cut by experts,

. cleverly joined at the corners, and a wonderful porce-
lain finish fused upon the solid stone surface, giving a
chamber practically of hewn rock. If you select an
equipment with a metal lining, you will probably find
that corners electrically welded will be more durable
than those soldered or finished in other ways. Appear-

. ance and durability are what count here.

Concerning Insulation

One of the most important points about a refrigerator
is its insulation. No matter how handsome it may be

on the outside or how convenient on the inside, it w'ill
fail as a refrigerator if it does not keep the cold air in
and the hot air out. Between the outer shell and the
inner lining must be a satisfactory packing, dead air
space, and outer reinforcements.

.^mong the types of packing used are felt, curled hair,
granulated composition substances, mineral wool, cork,
linen, woolen and cotton fibres. M\ of these have their
advocates. Whatever you select, be sure, however, that
it will not settle or sag after the refrigerator has been
in u.ie a while. See to it that it is built in such a way
that the nisulation will be held rigidly just where it
belongs.

In buying an outfit, the salesman will be always ready
to show cuts or cross-sections so you will know what

Easter Window Decoration of Clark, The Florist, Mt. Vernon

The effect is that of an altar. Easter Lilies were used throughout, with Genistas at base. Purple chiiion was wound in and out
t'etween the plants, making a striking contrast with the pure white Lilies and yellow Genistas. Purple and yellow velvet was
draped on the floor of the window, concealing the pots, with a basket of Lily of the Valley, tied with purple satin ribbon, in the

center of the window.

you are getting. Then, too, the reputation of the manu-
facturer here as elsewhere, will mean a lot. The dead
air space should be ample for purposes of non-conduct-
ing, and the whole should be put together with such
rigidity and solidity that it will stand all ordinary usage
and moving.

Regulating Temperature

When you buy a refrigerator, find out how many
pounds of ice the manufacturer calculates it would re-
quire to reduce the temperature to the degree of cold
he claims for its storage. As a rule, the manufacturer
estimates that a definite number of cubic feet are cooled
by a given number of pounds of ice. Test this with a
thermometer. Then if you want your refrigerator
cooled only half as cold as this, you can accomplish the
result by using half as much ice. A very little experi-
ence will soon enable one to regulate the quantity of ice
so as to keep the cold storage at the required tempera-
ture for the flowers therein.

Never keep flowers in a closed refrigerator without
ice, and if the ice chamber has been empty, it is much
better to let it become chilled before putting in the flow-
ers than to put them into a warm refrigerator and let
them cool off gradually. The reason for this is that a
gradual reduction of temperature does not retard decay
nearly as fast as a lower temperature.

Some Practical Points

The circulation of air is of next importance to the
insulation. The cold air should drop to the bottom, be
drawn through one or more suitable openings, up
through perforated shelves, and back across the ice. As
the air strikes the ice it will continually keep falling and

the warmer air of the storage chambers will continually
keep rising, thus completing the circulatory system. A
refrigerator which does not permit of this free inter-
change is a failure. The coldest storage will be that
directly under the ice; the next coldest, the ne.xt cham-
ber into which the air passes ; and the warmest part, the
last chamber the air goes through before it hits the ice.
By realizing these points, you can keep the hardiest flow-
ers in the air best suited to them and the most delicate
ones where it is several degrees warmer.

As you wish to retard decay in your supplies, do not
permit the interior of the surface to become laden with
destructive germs, but clean it with soap and water when
it requires it. Probably in Winter once a week will be
often enough; in Summer, twice a week will be none
too often.

If the manufacturer from
whom you buy your refrigera-
tor instructs you not to use
chemicals, such as soda, borax
or ammonia, in cleaning it,
obey for he has probably dis-
covered that these things will
injure the finish or lustre he
has given you at such pains,
but it can do no harm to scald
the drip pipe once a week with
hot water and soda, for fre-
quently a slime collects, due
to organisms imbedded in the
ice. There should be a trap
at either the top or the bottom
of the waste pipe to keep out
germs, warm air, vermin and
dust.

When you wash your re-
frigerator, wipe it dry or the
glass front will become clouded
with moisture. If you notice
this moisture forming unduly,
examine to see whether some-
thing has been standing in front
of the circulation vent, or
whether the waste pipe is
clogged.

Shelves should be perforated
for the purpose of letting the
air move freely. Slate shelves
and stone ones become as cold
as ice itself ; wooden ones
are rigid and satisfactory;
welded mesh wire are very
good indeed if sufficiently
firm; and porcelain finished
ones are also desirable. In
fact, all of these have peculiar points of excellence.

If you have a finely finished interior, do not set
wooden boxes, flower pots, or other containers likely
to stain, directly upon the surface; have mats or small
circles of bound mesh wire. Be sure that your re-
frigerator stands level or it will warp out o^ shape in
time and the doors will not close readily.

If the glass steams in a troublesome way, try wiping
it on the inside with a cloth barely moistened with equal
parts of glycerine and alcohol. Do not wipe dry and
keep a little basin of charcoal on the top and bottom
shelf. And remember that a reliable manufacturer may
furnish you with the best sort of an equipment but you
must do your part by intelligent care and use to get the
best service therefrom.

What Ails the Retailers?

Is it a mere coincidence that the retailers of New
York, Boston and Chicago are shy in fraternizing with
growers or participating in advertising campaigns, or is
it due to the fact that retailers reason out things from
a different angle to that of the growers and wholesalers?

Our Boston correspondent in our issue for April 16
remarks : "Some day within the next million years some
genius or smart Alec may hatch out a scheme whereby
the public at large can or will be informed of the times
when flowers go begging for buyers, and when the said
public will be given a chance to profit through the exist-
ence of an overstocked market. One thing is sure, the
retailers will never lift their hand to bring this about."

Must we assume that the average re-
tailer has no faith in combined advertis-
ing, no belief in organized unity between
producers and retailers, no desire to par-
ticipate in friendly association?

-And yet each section of the trade is
largely dependent upon the other, with
the balance more liable to swing against
the retailer. The latter can only exist
through the handling of produce provided
by the growers, but if the growers and
wholesalers would marshal their whole
forces into line they might become dic-
tators.

The retailers who refrain from interest-
ing themselves may have good reason for
doing so; their lack of faith in an organi-
zation affecting their standing may be
fully warranted, but we have yet to learn
upon what they base their arguments.

"We should, indeed, like to have an ex-
pression of opinion from those qualified
to give it. Will anyone among them seize
the opportunity?

Cultivate the Habit

As an oiEce man who jokingly and yet
half seriously said a few years ago that
his "favorite flower" was "a bos of
candy," I have now come to realize a joy
which is beyond my vocabulary in having
a flower or two on my desk.

It was but yesterday, through the kind-
ness of a friend, I had a few wonderful
Irises as companions all day; today the
wife has the benefit of them while she
"keeps house."

One of the oft repeated missions of the
National Publicity Campaign, when the
question of subscribing has been under
discussion, is the educating of the office
folk to the use of flowers in their offices.
Who would care to deny the good influ-
ence on business in general if flowers
were more freely used on the desks of the
busy men and women of America?

I am a fond believer in practical
demonstrations; they bring home the
truth so much more vividly than the fin-
est phrases the keen advertising writer
could possibly formulate. Therefore, if
you are a retailer and would welcome
frequent orders for delivery of flowers
to the oflices in your town or city, one
method you might pursue would be to
secure, first of all, the names of the
executives in your nearby office buildings,
after which you would send these gentle-
men a few flowers, one fine morning, with
your compliments. Nothing else, mind
you, at that moment. Avoid by all means
a direct solicitation of their patronage,
at least for awhile, for the reason that
oiie of the commonest and most fatal
rnistakes in business is what is known as
rushing a man." The next move could
be made a few days later, providing no
response has been received, in the form of
a short letter expressing the hope that
the presence of the flowers sent helped to
make the day a better and brighter one.

Just try it, and as your experience
would interest fellow retailers in other
sections of the country, pass it along to
the editor of The Exchange, who will
gladly spread the message for the benefit
of the majority. L^

Pittsburgh, Pa.

April 25. — Business conditions have
been about normal the past week with sup-
ply and demand about equal, so that
prices, while not high, have remained
about stationary.

We had another killing frost on Mon-
day night, which makes the fourth in the
last month and from all reports, most
of the early fruit has been greatly dam-
aged.

The outlook for Mother's Day is good,
and with the advertising the local asso-
ciation is doing, the demand should be
the ^ best that this district has ever ex-
perienced.

The cut flower supply at present in-
cludes Am. Beauty and other Eoses, Car-
nations, Easter and Calla Lilies, Snap-
dragon, Valley, orchids. Sweet Peas, Cal-
endula, Jonquils, Darwin Tulips and
Daisies, both white and yellow. All stock
has been of good quality with the excep-
tion of Sweet Peas, which from all ap-
pearances are about done for this season.

Plumosa from the South has been ar-
riving in poor condition, while the supply
of ferns has been short of demand.

Daylight Saving is now in effect in this
section, the clocks being turned on one
hour on Sunday, April 2i.

The McCallum Co. employees have
again taken up baseball and will play
twilight games. The first game is to be
played this evening, between teams from
the store and factory.

Wm. Usinger has left the employ of
McClements and will look after the local
territory for the McCallum Co.

Visitors' Day

A clipping frum a New Brunswick
(N. J.) newspaper lod uh to make further
inquiries from tiie florint writtea about.
Tbe reply is worth publishing; here it is:

Referring to yours uskinK about Visi-
tors' Day, I do not think the idea is at
all new with me, but it is always a suc-
cess. More or less, it depends entirely
upon the publicity precedinR it, and then
having something worth while to show.
Once get a visitor interested in a par-
ticular flower or plants any intelligent
Horist can find a way to still further in-
terest him in its production, and so can
do away to quite an extent with the idea
that the prices asked are exorbitant.

In towns about the size of New
Brunswick (45.000), or in even larger
cities, that the local papers can do a won-
derful service has been demonstrated by
Helen McCullum of the Sunday Times,
but this may be an exceptional case, for
Mrs. McCuHum is a florist, not only in
theory, but one who has practical knowl-
edge of floriculture, and KNOWS how to

WRITE ABOUT IT.

The articles in the Sunday Times, writ-
ten by her, are eagerly sought, and our
slogan, "Say it with Flowers," has been
better brought before the public than
commercial advertising could have done.
Articles of this character in the local
papers are not without results; they pro-
vide an interesting story, and sets the flo-
rist who does not advertise to thinking
there must be somethmg in "printers'
ink" after all, so he tries an ad or two,
gets more business, the paper gets a new
advertiser, more people "Say it with
Flowers," and everybody's happy.

Let some of your readers institute a
"Visitors' Day;" it is one of the best ads
and busines getters I know.

The last time I gave each visitor a
small bunch of Sweet Peas; of course,
that could not always be done, but you
can always give anyone who visits you a
wonderful time so long as you have some
flowers in bloom to show.

Frank K. Bennett.

The Market

April 26. — A few weddings and so-
cial entertainments of more or less mag-
tude helped very materially to use up the
supply of last week. Some stock found its
way to the curb, but no great amoimt.

This week opened up with only a fair
demand; along some lines it dragged a
trifle. The stores are not rushed with
business, but next Sunday being May
Day the churches will naturally take up
a lot of stock, mostly Lilies, white Roses
and white Carnations.

The Rose arrivals have not been heavy;
all sell up fairly well. Carnations are
still in full crop and the flowers are
mostly good. Sweet Peas are very plenti-
fuU. Valley, too, is in heavy supply.
Some say giganteum Lilies are scarce and
in good demand. Orchids are on the short
side, after months of bountiful supply.
Cattleya mossise will be ready in a week
or so.

The predictions, for the Peony, Snow-
ball, Mock Orange and like Spring offer-
ings is that the late frosts did not injure
these crops to any great extent, and the
local market will be well supplied.

Smilax is hard to locate; plenty of
Asparagus.

News Notes

George M. Cook has been suffering
with a bad foot since before Easter, a
rusty nail causing all the trouble. He
is reported much improved this week.

Joe Merritt reports the sale of Roses,
since Mr. Hill's visit, has increased very
materially.

Plans are almost complete for the
Flower Mart, to be held May 12, around
the historic Washington Monument, by
the Woman's Civic League. President
Robert L. Graham, Jr., has appointed
his various committees to cooperate. This
year the market will be on an even more
elaborate scale than in the past.

Eugene L. Newton, the Walbrook Flo-
rist, has a new delivery truck at work

The orchid flowers sent in for exhibi-
tion by Chas. Sieg^vart, Rose Night, were

The Florists' Exchange

St Louis, Mo.

The market has stiffened considerably.
Carnations are now selling at 4c. to 6c.;
Eoses at 5c. to 15c.; Sweet Peas at 30c.
to 50c. per 100, with short stems in the
majority.

The next big day will be Mother's Day
and the attention of all growers is needed
to push it to the front.

W. A. Rowe is in with the first indoor
Gladioli and 25c. each per stalk was the
price asked. Snapdragons are selling at
$1 and $1.50 per doz. Roses are coming
in nicely and are cleaned up at fair
prices. The retailers are buying in larger
quantities; they are taking the risk of dis-
posing of the flowers. This system helps
to unload and prevents a big glut.

St. Louis District, N. G. A.

The first quarterly meeting of the
St. Louis District Growers Association
was held April 19, 1921, at St. Nicholas
Hotel, Springfield, 111. About 23 from
St. Louis left to attend the meeting. They
were royally entertained by the Spring-
field florists; lunch and supper were served
and a theatre party arranged in the even-
ing. Walter AJnling, president, and J. F.
Ammann were the principal speakers.
Secretary's and treasurer's reports and re-
ports of committees were heard. A
special committee of three was appointed
for cooperative buying consisting of W. A.
Rowe, Kirkwood; Mrs, C. E. De Wever,
Olivette, Mo.; and J. J. Beneke.

Hembreiker & Cole greenhouses were
visited and were found in first class con-
dition in all lines.

News Notes

George H. Angermueller is kept busy
with out of town orders. His cut flower
trade has been good.

The St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower
Co. counters are well filled with all kinds
of flowers from local growers.

The F. H. Weber storeroom is always
well filled. He is a daily buyer at the
flower market. Andy Hoffman, Jr., is the
buyer.

C. Young & Sons Co.'s windows are
tastefully arranged by Charles and Walter
Young. Willie Dee has charge of the
greenhouses in the county.

The Roses were humbled by the Carna-
tions who now are champion and leaders
of the bowling teams. Saturday, April 30,
there will be final games to decide the
champion bowlers between the high roll-
ers. Oscar Ruff is now wearing a hat
too small for him, the victory of the Car-
nations has so swelled his head.

The florists in general are expecting a
big day for Mother's Day; from the pres-
ent outlook prices will be on the upward
grade.

A publicity meeting was held on Wed-
nesday, April 20, to consider advertising
in the local papers for Mother's Day, also
"Say it with Flowers" Week at Missouri
Theatre, April 23, with a horticultural
display.

Considerable glass will go up this
Spring in the county; many of the local
growers adding to their plants.

C. Acoski, Cass ave. florist, is very
busy. He will have six weddings this
coming Sunday. He is a daily visitor
to the market.

Many flowers were used at the inaugu-
ration of Mayor Kiel (third term) . A floral
flag was made up very artistically by Max
Herzog.

Koenig Floral Co. was very busy the
past week; one order took over 1000 red
Roses.

Chas. Connon of Webster Grove is
building up an extensive retail trade at
this point. C. W. W.

The Market

April 25. — Business was brisk dur-
ing the week ending April 23, practically
everything cleaning up. Receipts of stock
were considerably lighter than the week
before in consequence of the dark, cold
weather. Carnations, in particular, were
short of demand and arrivals of Roses
were also considerably reduced. Business
was normally good during the period, com-
paring favorably with the volmne trans-
acted in the corresponding week of last
year.

A generous assortment of stock is of-
fered at pi'esent, consisting of Roses, Car-
nations, Sweet, Peas, Lilies, orchids. Val-
ley, Snapdragons, Delphiniums, Calendu-
las, Wallflowers, Mignonette, Cornflowers,
Lilacs, Pansies and bulbous stock. With
the present exceedingly warm weather,
production will receive hea\'y impetus,
further depleting the crops usually timed
for Mother's Day.

Counter trade is reported dull in re-
tail circles, wedding and funeral orders
being sufficiently niunerous to absorb most
of the stock. The opening of the base-
ball season on April 21 supplied an oc-
casion for the liberal use of flowers. The
call for bedding stock has begun in earnest,
owing to the extreme earliness of the
season.

News Notes

At the request of C. Merkel & Son,
West jMentor, O., the court has appointed
a receiver for the Smith & Fetters Co.
George Bate of the Cleveland Cut Flower
Co. was named receiver, under whose su-
pervision present business is being trans-
acted. This firm was formerly one of the
leading retail concerns of this city, with
headquarters on Euclid ave., from whence
removal was made to the present site at
No. 930 Prospect ave. a year or so ago.
The May meeting of the florists club
will be held at the Walter E. Cook, Inc.,
store. No. 10510 St. Clair ave., Monday,
May 2. The entertainment committee an-
nounces that refreshments will be served
promptly at 7 p.m. and request members
to come to the meeting direct from busi-
ness. In addition to an unusually inter-
esting business session, a jolly good time is
anticipated. A large and enthusiastic
turnout is requested. J. McL.

Dayton, 0.

Business this last week has been slow,
funeral work being about the only thing
active. Too much rain and little work
can be done outdoors. The temperature
is above normal. Roses, Carnations and
Peas have become more plentiful; prices
are normal.

E. H. Keller has sold his greenhouses
to A. R. Crane.

The late Lieut. Frank J. Brosch

(TSOI ^Ond aa.s')

J. I. Schaefer is convalescing.

Ed. Hardert is doing as well and gets
around with his broken arm.

Miss Olive Ritter is sporting a new
Ford sedan; she managed to get stuck in
the mud the first day out.

The Heiss Co. have a fine new White
delivery truck and Rolf Zetlitz has ordered
another new car.

Pots of all sizes are scarce; there is a
good opening for a pottery in our city.
The local pottery is unable to meet the
demand and does not care to enlarge its
business. E. E. S.

The late Ernest H. Granz

Kalamazoo, Mich.

April 24. — Since last writing, we have
experienced a heavy snowstorm and some
severe frosts which have caused much
damage to the early fruits, especially
Cherries, Plums and Grapes, which are
reported 85 per cent. loss. Of course, it
has not been good for pushing the bed-
ding plant trade, but this is offset by
stiffening up the cut flower end which
has progressed since Easter quite as well
as could be expected. The immediate
after Easter prices are well maintained
and stock nicely cleaned up. Shipping
trade continues good and a nice crop
of funeral orders helps out things. Pan-
sies are perhaps the most conspicuous
item around the stores and groceries
just now, they seem to be welcomed by
a certain class of buyers; indeed, these
Spring flowers have a cheerfulness about
them that makes the garden makers buy
a dozen or two anyhow.

We have now in the city a gentleman
from Chicago whose aim is to help and
advise our citizens in the art of mak-
ing the homes beautiful by the judicious
use of plants and trees. His expenses
for several weeks are provided by a
few well to do and public spirited citi-
zens and his efforts cannot help but
benefit both florists and nurserymen
alike, who, it is to be hoped, will push
along and make our city not merely
one of the prettiest in the country, but
an example of what a modern city should
look like when intelligently beautified.
Anyway Mr. Heminway and his friends
are going strong just now and good re-
sults must follow. I notice the old story
of the glut of flowers and the revival
of the street man or fakir as the re-
tailers scornfully call him, though why,
I fail to understand, for surely he has
paid his cash (not for artificial, but real
flowers) which he sells to the public at
prices attractive enough to find custom-
ers. Surely a legitimate business and
useful in times of surplus. However,
if he is so damaging to the trade as some
retailers make out they have the rem-
edy in their own hands by cooperating
together and buying up the surplus
themselves, then organizing and adver-
tising special sales. This is the opinion
of many besides S. B.

Books Received

The Complete Garden

Written by an experienced landscape
gardener, this beautifully executed vol-
ume of some 450 pages, offers not only
to amateurs but to professional men also,
much valuable data. It affords authori-
ties information, arranged in a manner
that even the possessor of limited knowl-
edge may select material and arrange it
to make an artistic garden. The author
has closely followed the system of nomen-
clature recommended by the official code
drawn up by the joint committee on hor-
ticultural nomenclature and Bailey's Cyclo-

pedia. Planting suggestions, lists of ever
greens, trees and plants suitable for towi [
planting, plants for hedges, borders, rod '
gardens, formal gardens, exposed or she! '
tered positions, plants for woodland (
cover plants and so on ad infinitiim art i
dealt with in a clever and informative ^
way. The illustrations, mostly full page \
are in the main photographic and total
close upon a hundred. Several in color art ■
exquisitely done. The book is divided int<
two parts, eight chapters being devoted
to planting suggestions, while the second
part consists of some 40 chapters.

A chart provides information regarding
the most suitable period for planting in
various localities; a valuable feature,
Many useful hints on planting and prun-
ing of all kinds of- stock are given, while :
the planting of bulbs is not overlooked, a
whole chapter being devoted to the latter. \
LawTis are similarly dealt with. Main- ■
tenance, which deals with general treat-
ment, including spraying is a chapter full
of useful hints. The book is a veritable
vade mecuin for both the home gardener
and the nurseryman or landscape worker
seeking inspiration. It is different from
the usual run of garden books which
give lists of plants on catalog lines and
help but little. It is a book that will be
welcomed by many. For ourselves we are
glad to have it on our shelves; a more
useful reference book on general garden
planting can scarcely be conceived.

An Appreciation

Ernest H. Granz, of Rowehl & Granz,
fiorists and nurserymen, Hicksville, L. I.
N. Y., whose death on April 9 was re
corded in our issue of April 16, page 91L
was born in Saxony, Germany, on Maj
12, 1863, and it was here he learned hig
trade as florist and nurseryman. He
came to America as a youth of 17, and
traveled through nearly every State in
the Union, working as he went along
Four years of hardship and strife were
passed in the West as a ranger. He wa(
also in South America as far as Chik
and Buenos Aires. Later he went bacli
to visit his parents in Germany. In 1S84
Mr. Granz returned to the United States
and became naturalized. He worked al
his profession for several florists in Kingt,
County. In 1885 he became superintend
dent of Ladenburg's estate, at Westbury.
L. I., and while here employed was mar*
ried to Marie Rowehl, on July 14, 1889)
Early in the Spring of 1890 he went into
partnership with Charles D. Rowehl, un-i
der the firm name of Rowehl & Granz.

The business started four miles soutb
of the village of Hicksville, L. I., on fl
very small scale. Truck farming was en*
gaged in for a few years to enable thti
firm to secure enough money to buy art
assortment of perennial plants and nu^l
sery stock, after which a small greenhouse
was built. So, on and on, the businesf
increased until in 1903 four more largt
greenhouses were added. At that time
the firm had about 20 acres of nurserj
stock well established. From the yean
1900 to 1905 they were one of the largest
Dahlia growers on Long Island, and had
over 400 varieties, including some of the
best ever produced anywhere. They also
had quantities of Gladiolus bulbs, Japa-
nese and German Iris, Peonies and Can'
nas, together with other specialties, in-
eluding Norway Maples. The firm is now
extensively engaged in raising Carnations
and has 25 acres in nursery stock and a
few acres devoted to Gladioli.

Mr. Granz was a great lover of flowers,
plants and trees, and knew everything
that was to be known about them. Many
will miss him for his sterling character
and kindly deeds. He had a good dispo-
sition and was beloved by all who knew
him. Up to last September he was in
good health, at which time he caught a
chronic cold and cough which led to a
lingering illness all through the Winter
months, finally terminating in his death-
All the members of his family were pres-
ent when he passed away, his last words
being "My last hour has come. Groodby
to all."

Mr. Granz is survived by his widow,
seven children and six grandchildren;
also his father and two brothers and twc
sisters who are residing in Germany
Chas. Rowehl and Mr. Granz's three sons
Ernest, Jr., Carl and Theodore, will con-
tinue the business.

This Week's Money Making Wrinkles

FRITZ BAHR'S WRINKLES

Sow late branching Asters outdoors
now and transplant the aeedlinga later
on where they are to flower. Plant
DaliHas and Gladioli to have a supply
of Gladioli from July to November. It
is best to plant a few bulbs every two
weeks up to July 10. You want a
few Lemon Verbenas and Rose Gera-
niums ; don't overlook them ; a good
stock of double Sweet Alyssum comes
in handy during the bedding season,
too. Early outdoor flowering Chrysan-
themums are easily sold during May
and June; carry a stock of them for
your retail trade. Kentucky Blue

Grass and Red Top makes a good lawn
grass seed mixture and, if you add
White Clover at the rate of 51bs. to
every lOOlbs. of grass seed, you have
a still better one. Pot up bench grown
Roses into 5s, cut them back to about
Sin. to lOin. and start in a cool house;
they will sell next month and are fine
for o;itdoor flowering.

What about that little surplus stock
you have in bedding plants? Why not
run a small ad in the F. E.? If it is
good, somebody will want it, the same
as you want of the good surplus stock
of others advertised in the F. E.

BAXTER'S NURSERY WRINKLES

Do not wait until digging of field
grown plants actually ceases to start
advertising your potted plants. Pre-
pare a circular, "Potted Plants for
Late Spring and Summer Planting,"
listing what you have in herbaceous
plants, vines, Roses, annuals. Hydran-
geas, shrubs, etc. Announce it in these
columns !

Many suburbanites are not nearly

through planting, and that you have
plant materials which they may set
out with safety, even in Summer, will
be received by them as good news,
and orders result. To those who have
annual bedding plants, the regular
good market is assured. Those who
have hardy plants may dwell upon
their permanency, once planted. Ad-
vertise now!

The regular meeting of the above so-

son, N. J., on April 14, with President
Hicks in the chair. It was decided at
this meeting to hold a Strawberry and
Sweet Pea exhibition the early part of
June, arrangements for wJiich were left in
the hands of the exhibition committee,
which will report at the next meeting.
One new member was nominated and
elected, he being Thomas W. Head, super-
intendent to the Strous Estate, ilr. Head
is prominent in all horticultural matters,
therefore is a valuable asset to the so-
ciety.

Two unusual exhibits were placed on
the table, namely, Didiscus ca?rulea or
Blue Lace flower, exhibited by W. H.
Waite, and a vase of seedling Delphini-
ums by W. Turner.

Charles Rice gave an excellent paper
on the cultivation and treatment of the
Dahlia. lie received a hearty vote of
thanks from the members present.

Tarrylown, (N. Y.) Hort, Society

The regula r monthly meeting of the
above society was held in the Masonic
Hall on April 20. In the absence of
the president and vice-president, Thos.
Wilson was appointed chairman of the
meeting. John AValker w^as elected to
active membership.

The resignation of President John Mair
and Vice-President Chas. J. Wood were
read and accepted with regret, J. Mair
having secured a position at Nebraska,
and Chas. J. Wood has moved to Marion,
Mass. The good w^ishes of the members
of the society go with these two mem-
bers to their new homes. They will be
missed very much as they took a keen in-
terest in the welfare of the society and
w-ere regular exhibitors at the monthly
meetings. Jas. McDonald was elected
president and Thos. Wilson was elected
\*ice -president to fill the remainder of the
term.

The exhibits were the finest that had
been shown for a long time. Alex Ander-
son staged a number of Calceolarias in
7in. pots; these were fine plants and were
awarded a special prize. Mr. Anderson
also staged six pots of Stocks which were
awarded 75 points; one vase of Antirrhi-
niuns, 50 points, and the monthly meet-
ing prize for the best vase of flowers ar-
ranged for effect. The judges for the
evening were James Murray, John
Thomas and Jas. McDonald. It was agreed
to hold a Simamer show some time in
June and the regular Fall show in No-
vember. Thos. Wilson, Rep. Sec.

Six New Iron Framers

For A, L. Miller

Jamaica, L. I.

You who have the pleasure of know-
ing "A. L." as he is called, have often
heard him say; "the only way to get
things done, is to do them."

Acting on his own advice, he advised
himself to build and gd it done.

He needed the houses. He wanted
the money they would make. He figured
that what he could make by having
them would more than pay for the
difference in the building cost he
might save by waiting.

In short, he figured with both ends of
his pencil. With one end, what it
would cost to build. With the other
end, what it would cost in profits if he
didn't. After he had worn the lead

himself all dressed in his Sunday-so-to-
meeting clothes"

down to the wood on both ends, he
gave us his order for six iron fram';
houses to be erected at once. When
these are completed, he will have a range
of 22 houses, of which 20, all but two,
are L. & B. construction. These two
that are not L. & B. are old, narrow
sash houses, and will come down in the
next year or so. The plans are ready
for a house 28'-2" to replace them.

Why don't you sharpen both ends
of your pencil and do some figuring ?
If you say so, will bring along a Keen
Kutter Knife and help you sharpen,
and do the figuring if you say the word.
Say when and where and we'll be there.

He used to think thatltheJSeml-Iron Construction was good enough for plant growing. But now
he says "the iron frame is worth the difference any way you figure"

Somebody asked "A. L." how he kept things so on the go all the time? He replied; "because
we have the things with which to Keep things going"

"The More Expensive
It Gets To Build A Greenhouse
The Cheaper It Is
To Build A Good One''

As a parting shot to one of Fritz
Bahr's recent bits of philosophy in
The Florists' Exchange, were the
words of this advertisement's title.
Haven't the pleasure of knowing Fritz,
but he sure has the corn fed brand of
common sense.

When materials were low it didn't
amount to so much when a cheap
house went to pieces and had to be
replaced. But with today's costs, it
would mean a lot. But that isn't all.
The present price of Cypress is such
that an all Cypress house actually costs
close to what one of our Half Iron
Framers does.

Because of exactly the same reason,
the Half Iron Frame costs but little
less than the Full Iron Frame. So the
man who puts his money into a poor
construction pays a high price for the
privilege of buying something of short
life, when a little more added to the
expenditure would give him a per-
manent house and a lasting invest-
ment.

The more expensive it gets to build a
greenhouse, the cheaper it is to build a

AGERATUM— Fraserii

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to our customera that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
in. high and was covered the entire aeaeon with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2^^ in. across, while the individual flower would be J4 of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with .Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

DAHLIA

PATRICK O'MARA

UNIVERSALLY ADMIRED AND PPUISED BY DAHLIA GROWERS.
SPECTATORS, AND BY THE PRESS AT THE AMERICAN DAHLIA
:: SOCIETY EXHIBITION IN NEW YORK LAST SEPTEMBER ::

A Dahlia that will bring you PROFIT

After cutting, shipping and exhibiting the flowers at the Dahlia
Show, where the temperature was high and the wind across them
bad, after four days they looked almost as when fresh cut.

A large, beautiful flower
Ships well and keeps a long time

The blooms are 8 inches or more in diame-
ter, on long straight stems, set at right
angles, close to the stem. The stems hold
the massive flowers erect and firm. The
petals are solid and compact, showing no
open center. THE COLOR, an unusually-
soft and pleasing shade of orange-buff, slightly
tinged with Neyron rose, more pronounced
on the reverse side. A rare, beautiful
and taking autumn shade. Sure to be in
great demand for commercial use and or-
namental gardens.

HIGHEST SCORE at the trial grounds of
the American Dahlia Society, at the Con-
necticut Agricultural College under ordinary
field culture, which is the crucial test.

"Its groining, peeping and shipping qualilies are
excellent. Growers will find its habit, color, etc
something thai has been greatly needed." Prof.
Geo. W. Fraser, Connecticut Agricultural College.

Flowers of this variety will be in great de-
mand next Autumn. Plants will bring a
high price next Spring. Be ready to supply
the demand and make a good profit.

Price $10.00 per plant, $100.00 per dozen.
Safe delivery guaranteed.

Cash to accompany order. Correspondence
invited from catalogue houses and retailers.

More than forty thousand people visited
our Dahlia fields one day last Autumn
Visitors always welcome.

Our reputation for square dealing, over a period of
about half a century backs this offer.

Hardy Primroses

Herein is a breezy dissertation on
the garden Primrose, Notes his-
_ torical, notes varietal and notes

cultural, all are ccmbined to make the subject of interest. The other species briefly
referred to, will be dealt with in an early issue

'le English Primrose

-v\'KKYONE is, more or less, acquainted with the
\ rrimrusc. the Etiflisli I'rimru.'ie as it is popularly
-* called although the type cultivated in gardens is
t the common sulphur Primrose which grows so
undantly in the English woods and along the road-
ies.

Millions of these wildings are lifted and sold by
ncrant vendors, but no amount of cultivation will
iki them huncli llovvercd. The typical wilding bears its

Alls singly, all springing from the base of the leaves.

;> this Primrose which was beloved by Lord Beacons-
Kl, in memory of whom Primrose Day was inaugu-
icil. Millions' of these flowers are gathered and sold

1 unchcs on the streets of London and other cities in
r I arly Spring.

ne Cultivated Primrose

j The cultivated Primrose has arisen through selection
.d hybridizing as, with rare exceptions, all the flowers
t li'jrnc in trusses on stiff stems, the latter carrying
> thing between six and fifty individual blooms. ^ The
ue form is the only type bearing its flowers singly,

iie presumably to its being a hybrid between the com-
on Primrose and some other species with similar char-
iteristics. Even the blue, however, is developing the
uss flowering habit as good strains will yield a num-
■r of such plants. This development is probably due
chance crossing and selection.
The common Primrose, botanically, is P. acaulis or

lilgaris, and while cultivation will induce great size
the flowers and vigor in the plants, it does not usually
:part from its natural character of producing each

;oom on a separate stem.

The Primroses which are grown in gardens, both here
id in England are, without doubt, hybrids of P. vul-
iris, although it is probable they were largely evolved
.- selection. P. elatior, the common Oxlip, and P.
:ris, the Cowslip, may both have influenced the evolu-
jn of the Polyanthus.

Some authorities consider the Polyanthus is simply
variety of P. vulgaris, but to the practical eye, this
larcely seems possible inasmuch that not only is there

' variety of colors, but there are two distinctive types.

I he Polyanthus

The popular bunch Primrose of good breed is large
jwered; comes in a variety of shades of yellow and
d, but otherwise resembles the common Primrose,
he true Polyanthus as recognized and prized by old-
ine florists were invariably red with gold lacing. In
:e early '40s, the Polyanthus was among the elite; it
as bound down to hard and fast rules, as were the

various ullier plants classed as florist's flowers.

Glenny laid down a standard for the Polyanthus which
the modern bunch Primrose does not measure up to
although, from a garden point of view, it is infmitcly
more valuable. Tlie perfect gold laced Polyanthus, like
the florist's Auricula, is a rarity these days, but experts
consider it would be an easy matter to develop new
forms which would even surpass those of Glenny's day.

Modern florists, however — it is necessary to include
even old stagers like Storrie — have, during the past 30
years or so worked in the direction of enlarging and
improving the self-colored Polyantha Primrose.

Importance of Strain and Cultivation

That the strains otTered vary, goes without saying;
some of the flowers seen in New York florist's shops
are veritable weeds much inferior in size to the blooms
seen in the English hedgerows, but at the same time,
even the most choice strain will not show its true char-
acter unless given the soil and attention needed. The
finest plants of P. vulgaris are usually found on heavy
clay land where moisture is never lacking. Under cul-
tivation, the Primrose does not call for exactly these
conditions but the grower who plants out late on sandy
soil, neither feeding nor watering will never see Prim-
roses as they should be.

Seed Sowing

It must be understood that the Polyantha Primrose
is hardy and, like all the Primula family, the seed ger-
minates most readily if sown as soon as ripe. As this
is not possible, unless one is saving one's own seed, the
sowing should be done in May. Seed of the previous
year's harvest is usually available at all times and sown
in pans in a coldframe and kept well shaded, germina-
tion usually starts inside a month. Owing to its erratic
character, the seedlings should be pricked out as soon
as in the rough leaf. This will allow others a chance,
for the pans should not be discarded for several months,
as it might happen that the last seeds to germinate would
prove the best. The soil for sowing should consist of
good loam and sand with a little leaf mold to keep it
open.

After Treatment

Pricking out should be done in boxes or other pans
until such times as they are really fit to handle. Small
plants are not able to withstand hot sunshine; if they
are to keep growing, they must be set out in beds that
can be shaded and watered.

Some may favor potting into small pots but the open
bed is to be preferred, unless one sinks the pots in
ashes to keep the roots as cool as possible.

Given some six to eight inches apart and good culti-

valiuii, the plants will make gooil crowns before the
Winter, although the late germinating seeds will prob-
ably prove smaller plants than the average.

Winter Protection

To keep them in good condition during the Winter,
the plants need coldframe or house protection; this
sa\'es the loss of much foliage. In England, the foliage
rarely succumbs and flowers usually commence to show
on strong plants around about Christmas time if the
weather is open. These, however, are just chance
blooms, April being the full flowering period. Our al-
ternate freezing and thawing and the protecting ma-
terial necessary, tends to injure the foliage which in its
turn, is against the development of strong flow-er stems.
The plants have to devote part of their energy into
making foliage after the Winter ijasses and, as the
change from cold to warmth is apt to come quickly, the
plants have little time to make up.

Primroses for Cutting and Pots

The grower who wants Primroses for cutting or for
sale as pot plants must, under the circumstances, give
them a cool house or frame from which severe frost is
excluded. Heat, in the forcing sense, must never be
used. Through the early part of the Winter, a tem-
perature of 40 deg. is ample; air in abundance is essen-
tial. Under such conditions, the plants will continue to
develop steadily. For cut flowers, the plants should be
set out 12in. apart in beds or benches about the latter
end of October or early November; later if the weather
remains mild and free from severe frost. A few degrees
will not hurt. Lift with a good ball and plant in soil
such as is used for Carnations. From then on, never
let the plants suffer from lack of water. For pot sales,
the plants may either be lifted from the bench when in
flower and potted, or they may be grown in pots all
through the Winter. On the whole, the former plan is
best for Primroses are deep rooters and love a cool moist
bottom. They lift readily and, given moisture, will not
flag. Apart from this advantage, potting when in flower
enables one to make one's choice. Even in the finest strain
one gets a proportion of small flowered forms and
occasionally muddy colors and, while it would be unwise
for any one specializing in Primroses to dispose of his
finest examples, it is on the other hand, useless to expect
a reputation if inferior types are mixed and sold with
better forms.

The best, and the best only, is the mark to aim at, and
while the wise man, if he has struck a good strain, will
be careful to save some seed from the finest plants
which, in the meantime, have been isolated from the
ordinary ones, he will also keep these extra fine plants
for division.

Avoid Too Much Heat

With the lengthening days after Christmas, a slightly
increased heat may be given but never at any time at-
tempt to run the temperature above 50 deg. with artifi-
cial heat, or drawn, flabby foliage and weak flower
stems will result, while aphis will become a terrible pest.

VE were interested to note re-
cently a well known vegetable
authority making reference to
I ook on "Vegetables for Home
ki Exhibition." published by Edwin
Biiett. The latter is a familiar
BjiC to those acquainted with hor-
ji tural shows in Great Britain during the last score
MO of years. While he makes no claim to being such,
1 fairly safe to say that in the art of growing and
aibiting vegetables, he has never
XI equalled. Certainly at no cx-
iition outside of Great Britain
bi; vegetables been displayed as
Erin Beckett shows them; indeed,
ik only exhibitors that have ever
xe near him in this art are the
nit British seed firms, such as Sut-
:c & Sons, Barr & Sons, J. Carter
&)o., and Webb & Sons, whose ex-
lits are more or less fashioned on
h Beckett style. In the past, Mr.
Bkett was a great competitive ex-
itor and when, on the few occa-
siis he has been displaced from
leling position, it was invariably at
tJ hands of one of his former
P' ils. In latter years, his exhib-
it have been entirely non-competi-
ti'. As a general rule, he makes
tv exhibits yearly in London, in ad-
d on to a few displays in other
:i|lers. For a great number of
y'rs, Edwin Beckett has been
S'dener and steward to the
tn. Vicary Gibbs of Aldenham,
Frtford, who is a great enthusi-
i not only in vegetables but in
a kinds of flowers and shrubs. A
vt number of new hardy plants,
p,ticularly Michaelmas Daisies,
he been raised at Aldenham, and
a>) new vegetables. The giant
p!ded Pea, Quite Content, is one
0 the Aldenham novelties,
'."he standing possessed by Edwin
E:kett in the horticultural world is
SAvn by the fact that he holds
i;- of the 63 Victorian medals of
t(ior. The gold medals that have been awarded to his
Vetable exhibits and floral displays are innumerable;
i/2ed, it is an accepted fact that a Beckett display of
li tables, whether in May or in the Fall, means a gold
i;,lal.^ Charles Totty, when in England last Spring, was
S'e impressed by a Beckett display of vegetables than
a thing he saw at the R. H. S. exhibition, and he

I Vegetables at Exhibitions

has expressed the view that such a display at one of our
leading shows would create something akin to wonder-

nunt. A '^'hince :it the accompanying illustration

Vegetable Exhibit Staged by Edwin Beckett

Awarded tlie unique double award of the R.H. Society's Gold Medal for the collection, and the Silver Lindley Medal
for vegetable culture. About one-hundred and twenty dishes and made-up pieces were shown.

shows pretty conclusively what may be done with vege-
tables, but it utterly fails to convey the true effect, be-
cause it lacks the beauty of coloring. It will be readily
understood that considerable color is worked^ into such
an exhibit consisting of 120 varieties and kinds. Red
and yellow Tomatoes, Radishes, Beets, Carrots, Cap-
sicums, Potatoes, Beans, etc., provide many bright

shades, and when it is understood that
every single specimen is perfect, with-
out a blemish, and cleansed, one can
realize that such an exhibit is vastly
different to the haphazard conglomera-
tion of vegetables usually staged at ex-
hibitions.
It may be mentioned that the soil which produces
these wonderful vegetables is not ideal. Originally it was
what is known as London clay, hard and unyielding, th«
sort of soil that would break the
heart of any but the enthusiastic. Ex-
pense being no particular object, the
soil has been trenched and trenched
three feet deep, times out of number ;
all the old potting soil and abund-
ince of leaves and manure being
worked in. Mr. Beckett is a great
exponent of trenching; even when
breaking up fresh ground he in-
variably brings the subsoil to the
top. Everyone who visits these won-
derful gardens is impressed by the
fact that the soil stands nearly 12in.
ibove the paths, largely due to the
persistent trenching and adding of
Dther material. Vegetables under
glass are equally as important at
Aldenham as outdoors. In pre-war
days about 70 hands were employed,
but during the dark years the staff
was greatly diminished. Despite
this Mr. Beckett went in for vege-
table growing on a tremendous scale,
breaking up many acres of fresh land
for Potatoes and other crops.

The collection illustrated was
staged in mid-July and embraced
Celery, Chard, Peas, Beans, Cucum-
bers, Marrows, Tomatoes, Potatoes,
Turnips, Cabbages, Radishes, Cauli-
flower, Globe Artichokes, Kohl-Rabi,
Cress, Lettuce, Carrots, Beets,
Onions and Peppers in variety. This
exhibit gained the R. H. S. gold
medal and also the Lindley medal.
During his career, Mr. Beckett
has won over 60 gold medals and in-
numerable cups and other awards,
including the Grand Prix at the Franco-British Exhi-
bition in 1908. The present writer well remembers the
latter exhibit which astounded the thousands of French
visitors who came to see how completely the famous
French vegetable growers could put it over on John
Bull's gardeners. It may be also stated that Mr. Beckett
stages fruit exhibits on similar lines.

Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists

By John Young, Secretary, 43 W. 18th St., N. Y.

The Washington Convention

Lt is only about two weeks since the copies of the floor
jin of the hall in which the trade exhibition is to be
i.ged were mailed, yet requests for space reservations
i'. coming in steadily and the bookings so far are more
hn satisfactory. Without any doubt, every foot of
.ailable space will be closed out long before the open-
:; day of the convention. Intending exhibitors should
^ie no time in getting their applications for space to
\' secretary's oiSce, as choice of location necessarily
ill narrow down during the present month. Those
■'lo have engaged space since publication of our last
-t are:

A. T. De La Mare Co., New York City.
Jackson & Perltins Co., Newark, New York.
Joseph Heaeock Co., Wyncote, Pa«
■Orchard Paper Co., St. Louis, Mo.
iB. Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass.

jM. H. Levine Co., New York City.
iSeligman & Stein, New York City.
^George B. Hart, Rochester, N. Y.
Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J.

' Reports received at the administration offlces of the
ciety indicate an unusually large attendance at this
'Hvention. The convention city itself is always an
traction, and previous conventions held there have
idenced the fact that visitors will be well cared for.
he officials of the Ladies' S. A. F. are devoting much
■ne to plans covering the part they will take in the

entertainment proceedings, and especially as regards tak-
ing care of the visiting ladies, while those of the sterner
sex are in attendance at the different sessions. A.t an
early date, they will send out a little folder describing
trips to some interesting places worth visiting while
going or returning from Washington; this folder will
also contain much other information of value.

Application has been made to the Trunk Line Asso-
ciation for a railroad rate of a fare and one-half for
the round trip to Washington, on the certificate plan
in force some years ago, and there is every probability
that the request will be granted. As soon as assurarice
is received that this rate will be allowed, official notice
will be given.

The Cleveland National Flower Show

The secretary had expected last week to be in a posi-
tion to send out copies of the floor plan covering the
space available for trade exhibits, but at the last moment
it was deemed advisable by the chairman of the Na-
tional Flower Show Committee to hold the issue back
until it could be announced definitely just what accom-
modations would be included in the space rental charge
of $1.75 per square foot. Some prospective exhibitors,
however, have not waited for the plan, several having
filed applications for space, and expressed a readiness
to complete contracts as soon as they can denote a loca-
tion on the plan.

Additional subscriptions to the Guarantee Fund have
been received, as follows ;

Previously reported ?19, 062.00

Randall's Flower Shop, Worcester, Mass 50.00

Strout's, Inc., Blddeford, Me 200.00

The Minge Floral Co., Mobile, Ala 100.00

H. B. Dorner, Urbana, 111 25.00

Total $19,712.00

Further evidence of the wide interest taken in the
class covering exhibits in competition for the Grand

Capital Prize of $5000 came to hand last week, arid the
committee believe that the stagings in this class will re-
sult in the finest display ever seen under roof at any
horticultural exposition in the world. Already positive
assurance of three entries has been given, and the en-
tries will be made official as soon as the committee can
decide upon the dimensions of the spaces to be scheduled
as available in the general layout of the exhibition.
This class will be the feature class of the show, and as
exhibitors will require a considerable length of time to
get their material together, the committee are endeavor-
ing to arrive at a decision at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

The U. S. Chamber of Commerce

As representatives of the S. A. F. and 0. H., Presi-
dent Roland appointed Wm. F. Gude, Washington, D. C,
S. S. Pennock, Philadelphia, Pa., Chas. H. Grakelow,
Philadelphia, and F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y., the
society's delegates to attend the annual meeting of the
U. S. Chamber of Commerce held at Atlantic City last
week. While the society has applied for membership in
the chamber, no word in regard to favorable action hav-
ing been taken on the application has yet been received.
Doubtless our delegates found plenty to occupy their
attention at the different sessions of the meeting.

Exporting Greenhouse Construction Material

Because we have been asked the question by a New
York daily commercial newspaper, we presume exports
of American greenhouse construction material have in
the past and are now occasionally being made to Great
Britain, said material including structural iron, heating
and ventilating apparatus. If we have readers who can
give us information on this subject we shall be glad to
hear from them.

Notes from Abroad

The rush of the wholesale seuson being
now praotically over, and the annual
«tock taking in sight, it is possible to
form some sort of idea as to how the sea-
son has gone. It started with plenty of
vegetable seeds of most kinds in stock,
and it leaves off in not a very different
condition. Not many articles are scarce,
if we except certain herbs and cucurbi-
taceal. Supplies have been coming in
freely from all parts, and there have been
offers galore to choose from of every ar-
ticle, some of rather doubtful age and
quality. It will take some time for the
situation to reach a normal balance after
a period of excessive production followed
by one of only moderate consumption.

In flower seeds, the situation is some-
what different, as supplies of some sorts
were very short and it was difficult to ob-
tain the requisite quantities to fill orders
in full. The demand, too, on the whole
showed an upward tendency, resulting in
the early exhaustion of a good many ar-
ticles, so that at the present time a con-
siderable shortage exists. This is, just
now, greatly felt in such articles as Wall-
flowers, Hollyhocks, etc. The gaps in an-
nuals are of course more easily filled up,
but the outlook for certain leading bi-
ennials and perennials for next season is
not exactly favorable. Fortunately, grow-
ers are now^ more inclined to take to the
cultivation of flower seeds than since pre-
war times, although most contracts have
still to be made on open conditions, which
makes the handling of the seeds more diffi-
cult for the wholesale trade.

Reports from the Western growing re-
gions in France indicate a want of rain al-
most approaching the proportions of a
drought; rain is now anxiously looked for.
Also in the Essex district the soil is very
dry, although the crops there have come
through the Winter in general very well,
and a good harvest is hoped for if nothing
untoward happens, as, for instance, a
plague of insects, which of course the dry
weather favors.

Transatlantic SEEDsaiAN".

April 12, 1921.

Cutting sharp north to northwest winds
have succeeded the usual Spring North-
easters, and some fairly heavy rains have
fallen in Great Britain, which are all to
the benefit of agriculture, though the
conditions are not likely to favor the
Apple crop, the blossoms of which re-
quires less wind and more sunshine. Spring
sown articles will, at any rate, get a good
start, and the Radish plantations will be
helped forward. Growers have not looked
with much favor on this crop of late,
oiving to the heavy cost of threshing,
which some of them estimate at about
$10 per cwt.

The placing of Carrot contracts is now
on the agenda; it is doubtful whether
Europe will place much in California this
year as the exchange is still a difficulty,
although the prices asked Dy the growers
are now much more reasonable. The qual-
ity of the deliveries from that district
during the war were mostly very good as
regards form of root and general true-
ness to type. Some European stocks do
better there than others; the chief draw^-
back is that the roots tend to become too
pale in color, so that Californian grow-
ers have to grow every year from Euro-
pean stock seed if they wish to correct
this tendency. It is, of course, simply a
question of climate and the same diffi-
culty occurs with regard to Radishes,_in
which, of course, the color is a very im-
portant factor.

From Australia, good rains are reported
to have fallen in the Central and North-
ern districts, which encourages good hopes
for the coming season. Prospects are also
reported satisfactory in New Zealand,
whence we hear that the firm of H. C.
Gibbons & Co. has been amalgamated with

that of Frederick Cooper, Ltd., both well
known houses of Wellington.

Efforts are now being made by a pow-
erful trade organization to provision Rus-
sia with agricultural and vegetable seeds.
Large purchases have been made, both in
Great Britain and on the Continent, and
tlie leading seed houses are doing their best
to meet the needs of that vast country.
The seeds are likely to be, to a large ex-
tent, forthcoming, if the financial side of
the matter can be satisfactorily arranged.

As a pioneer among the new season's
visitors, we may record the call on the
London trade of Kobt-rt Herbst of
New York, who purposes also visiting Hol-
land and France in the course of his
European trip.

New York Seed Trade

Going the rounds of the seed stores on
Monday and Tuesday of this week we
noted that counter trade in seeds* had
fallen off sharply since a week ago.
Whether this decreased demand is at-
tributable to the cooler, darker weather
and is merely temporary, whether the de-
mand will again increase with more fa-
vorable weather conditions, or whether
it means that seed selling has reached its
climax for this season and will gradually
grfow less, remains to be seen. The de-
mand, it is noted, for green vegetable
plants and also for green flowering plants
instead of falling off' like the demand for
seeds is steadily increasing. The demand
for Rose bushes also which have been
taken out of the greenhouse benches and
are selling at the rate of §1.50 for a
bundle of five bushes shows no diminution,
but on the contrary continues to be ex-
tremely large.

Attendance at the noonday auctions of
the MacNiff Horticultural Co., 52-oi Vesey
St., on each Tuesday and Thursday is in-
creasingly large. As Robert W. Mac-
Niff", the president of the company, puts
it, as he looks over the crowd which
nearly fills the large store at each of these
auctions, he sees all the old time buyers
back again whom he was wont to see be-
fore the war and before Quarantine 37
came into being.

Walter Barnwell, store manager for
Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers st., is still
on the sick list and confined to his home
in this city.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay St.,
reports a cleanup of pretty much all of the
distinctively Spring stock in the line of
dormant bulbs and roots; also that in-
quiries are being made for French and
Dutch bulbs and early orders booked for
these bulbs. We noted at this store dur-
ing the closing days of last week and the
early days of this week an unusual dis-
play in green flowering plants, namely,
large plants of Cannas, growing in tubs
in full foliage and bloom. The varieties
shown were Eureka, Rosea gigantea and
Yellow King Humbert. The plants were
three to five feet high. The trusses of
flowers were very large, especially on the
Eureka and Yellow King Humbert, and
the plants attracted much attention.

We are informed by Wm. M. Hunt &

Co., sole distributors for Tice C. Kev-

i itt's Strawberry and Raspberry plants,

' that Field Day at Mr. Kevitfs farm at

I Athenia, N. J., this year will be on June 10.

On the afternoon of that day Mr. Kevitt

CHESTER _ _ - _ NEW JERSEY

There was noted ttis week in the win-
dows of the great store of Peter Hen-
derson & Co., 135 Cortlandt st., a very in-
teresting display of flowers from outdoor
grown bulbs. There were in this exhibit
Rembrandt, Darwin, Cottage and Parrot
Tulips, Narcissi, Double Silver Phoenix,
Double Van Sion, Trumpet Major, Mrs.
Langtry, Glory of Leiden, Jonquilla Cam-
pernelle, Poetaz Alsace, Grand Monarque,
Poetaz Irene, Barrii Conspicuus and Al-
bicans.

Bernard Eynveld of F. Rynveld & Sons,
61 Vesey st., the well known bulb grow-
ers, who had just returned from a busi-
ness trip, sailed on Saturday, April 30, on
the S. S. Nieu Amsterdam for Holland.
Mr. Kynveld will be absent for several
months inspecting the bulb fields of hie
company and arranging for Autunm ship-
ments of bulbs.

Among the recent callers on the seed
trade in town last week was Dr. Franklin,
representing the L. D. Waller Seed Co.,
wholesale seed growers, Guadalupe, Calif.

H. W. Doughten, Inc., seeds, at 59
Pearl st., has filed schedules in bank-

ruptcy, with liabilities of $1,016,836, of
which §558,431 are second claims, and as-
sets of $489,339, the main items of which
are stock, 8280,683; stocks and bonds,
$129,196; unliquidated claims, §40,395;
accounts, $11,641; notes, $13,341, and real
estate, §9,825. Among the secured credit-
ors are Mechanics & Metals National
Bank, $59,500; William Schall Co., §65,-
000; New Jersey Title Guaranty & Trust
Co., $32,703; Seaboard National Bank,
$22,399; Corn Exchange National Bank,
$19,520, and Guaranty Trust Co., $22,260.
C. J. Speelman of the well known firm
of C. J. Speelman Sons, whose New York
office is at 470 Greenwich st., sailed on
Saturday, April 30, on the S. S. Nieuw
Amsterdam for Holland. Mr. Speelman
expects to be abroad for several months
and will visit the bulb growing farms of
his firm both in Holland and France.

J. M. Bridgeford, manager of the well
known wholesale seed house, Watkins &
Simpson, Drury Lane, London, will sail
for New York by the Aquitania on May
14, due to arrive May 21. His stay in
New York vnll be brief as his plans take
him West almost immediately.

He will, however, make a longer stay
in this city in mid-July, before recrossing
the ocean.

Mr. Bridgeford, apart from being a
seed merchant, has the eye of the true
florist. Many of the seed novelties dis-
tributed by his firm have been evolved
by his painstaking work on the firm's
large trial grounds.

Snapdragons are his special hobby.

Chicago Seed Trade

Eradication of weeds as an aid to the
farmer and gardener, as an aid toward
civic beauty and sanitation in towns, is
urged by the division of seed inspection
of the State Department of Agriculture
of Illinois, Springfield. Unless farmers
and city lot owners make greater efforts
to destroy weeds, the statement advises,
more drastic laws covering the subject
will have to be enacted. It is a duty
they owe to themselves and their neigh-
bors, because there is nothing that de-
tracts from the beauty of any surroimd-
ings than unsightly weeds.

On the surface lines of the Chicago
Street Railways the following sign is
prominently displayed: "It is Tulip time
in the Chicago Parks. Theiy're more
beautiful this year than ever before. Make
up a Tulip party. 'Flowers are like the
treasures of the earth' — Shakespeare."

Blanch Mason, who writes a weekly let-
ter for shoppers in the Chicago Evening
Post, says that this is really the last week
in which to be quite respectable to be
seen planting a new seed bed. It is safe
now, however, as safe as it will ever be,
and all hoping to have a flower garden
this Summer should get started not a
minute later than now. iliss Mason
recommends the W. W. Barnard Co., her
recommendations are confined to the ad-
vertisers in the Evening Post.

Information from the bulb fields in Cali-
fornia is to the effect that the Freesia
crops are progressing finely, and will
soon be ready for harvesting. A. Miller

of the American Bulb Co., who recently
visited there, states his company will be
able to deliver bulbs this season soon
enough to get them in bloom for Christ-
mas. There is a gent;ral cleaning up on
all Spring bulbs and dealers are now
turning their attention to French bulbs.

Vaughan's Seed Store continues to dis-
pose of a lot of Gladioli bulbs at whole-
sale as well as retail. These are raised
on their own farms in Cook County, as
well as in Michigan where several himdred
acres are producing thousands of bulbs
of the highest quality. An attractive
Gladioli advertisement is being run in the
Chicago papers, in which the bulbs are
offered in assortments at reasonable prices.

The announcement of the French syn-
dicate of bulb growers for the 1921 crop
of Paperwhites and Roman Hyacinths is
rather disquieting to Chicago dealers. Re-
sponsible dealers have cabled as best prices
170 francs for Paperwhites of the 13 to
15 centimeter size. For Soleil d'Or, a
remarkable price of 550 francs is quoted.
Romans are 450 francs, all prices f. o. b.
OUiouIes. These prices would mean a
delivery price in America of about $3
per 1050 higher than last season's prices.
This unlooked for increase in price of
French bulbs is not likely to stimulate
early buying. American dealers have been
looking "for a reduction rather than an
advance in price to keep in line with the
general trend of price conditions in thia
coimtry.

The Situation in the Seed Trade

The attitude of any observer of the
present day seed trade situation is na-
turally influenced by the conditions im-
mediately surrounding him. If the sea-
son has been backward and retail sales
have been slow, or if the accumulation
of large stocks at war time prices has
been followed by heavy losses and, in some
cases, actual disaster, or if any other dis-
turbance or curtailment of a normal busi-
ness causes local merchants to look, act
and talk disconsolately, the impression
naturally arises and goes forth that the
whole situation is gloomy and threatening.
Reports are current that mail order
houses have experienced a severely disap-
pointing season. This may be true ot
some, but in the case of those with which
we have actually come in contact, thia
year has witnessed great improvement in
sales and general activity over 1920.
Again, western growers are said to be
in a serious way with large stocks on
hand which, produced when costs were
high, cannot hope to be sold at a profit,
and may not even be salvaged at all before
they lose much of their viability and
most of their usefulness. This, too, may
be true, but to offset it, the wholesale
merchants of the Atlantic Seaboard ap-
pear to have come through their period
of deepest depression, to have cleared the
bins of surplus stocks, to have taken their
losses and be on the threshold of a period
of sound and profitable business.

It certainly seems unwise and unwar-
ranted, therefore, to jump at the conclu-
sion that the seed trade as a whole ia
trembling on the brink of disaster, mired
in a slough of financial difficulty_ ana
generally discouraged. Such a condition,
from the very fundamental and essential
nature of the seed trade in the world's
leading agricultural nation, is inconceiv-
able.

What may be the case is that certain
members of the trade or certain phases
of it have not yet paid the penalty of
the months of inflated, super prosperous
business that carried them aloft like the
tail of a rocket, and that just as surely
had to let them fall back to earth after
its power was spent. The wholesale field
seems to have passed through its ordeal,
some enterprises falling by the wayside,
but the majority coming through scorched
and perhaps seared and sobered, but
hardened to a truer temper and a strong-
er ability to meet and profit by the fu-
ture. If the ranks of the growers have
yet to feel the strain, feel it they will-
but they, too, in the main, will win out
and fall in again reformed and restrength-
ened to carry on the banner of sound busi-
ness.

This, in our humble opinion, is the sit*
nation that confronts the American seed
trade, and that must be taken cognizance
of bv the approaching convention of the
A. S. T. A. The obvious task is to recog-
nize the unavoidable nature of existing
conditions, no less than their seriousness;
to realize that they are simply the head-

(Extract from the "Florist's Review," September 28, 1919).

"I have been much impressed with some of the new Cannas that I have tried this Sum
mer. and cannot refrain from mentioning two. These are The President and Snow Queen-
President is by all odds the best red Canna today, larger and better than Firebird and a free
bloomer; the foHage is .strong and does not burn, as does that of Firebird, Those who have
tried Firebird and lamented that it would not do on account of diseased foliage will rejoice to
know that at last we have a Canna that is "right." " — Floyd Bralliar. "The most sensational
introduction of recent years." — From anolfiT firm's catalog,

The Situation In the Seed Trade

{Continued from page lOSO)
ache, the coated tongue and the doleful
dumps of a "morning after," and that as
such they will pass away and may prove
a useful lesson. But more essential still
is the need of exerting every ounce of
cooperative effort, of unselfish service in
a common cause, that the test of fire that
must still be endured be rendered as brief
and as light as possible, and that those
who must suffer it the hardest shall be
helped and encouraged in their hour of
need.

The sun still shines. The spirit of op-
timism lives and cannot be destroyed. The
thing is to foster it and spread it abroad.

Seedsmen, Take Notice

The following appeared in The Eorti-
cultural Advertiser. It explains itself:

Is Germany Top Dog, or England and
Her Allies?
Dear Sirs; — I thought the Allies won
the war, but we did not go to Berlin! !
Shall we yet have to go? Otherwise how
are we going to get the indemnity out of
them? The following is an extract from
a letter received by an English seed firm,
from a German one, and which must prob-

ably be only a sample of what other
English seed and other merchants are re-
ceiving. It is a distinctly cute and easy
way of getting out of one's liabilities.
They write: "With reference to the ex-
port tax of 50 per cent on all German
goods imported into your coimtry, which
has been agreed by the Allies, we very
much regret to inform you that our Gov-
ernment declines to indemnify the ex-
porter. This fact places us in a very
owkivard position. It is quite out of the
question that we can bear the extra
charge of 50 per cent, our prices being
net. Therefore any future orders that
you may entrust us with will be subject
to an increase in price of 50 per cent.

"In addition, considering the very un-
settled political conditions generally, we
see ourselves obliged to ask payment in
advance, that is, in Bank notes and not
in cheque. It is extremely painful to us
to discuss this matter with you, but per-
haps you will be good enough to let us
have your candid opinion on the matter."

The candid opinion has been sent — a
very candid one — and all orders cancelled.
Probably many of your readers have had
similar letters. I hope they have also sent
their candid opinions. I presume the Al-
lied Governments know of this unique form
of repudiation, and will send their candid
opinion. Seedsman.

Post Office Notice

Senders of parcel post packages, par-
ticularly, are informed that the complete
local address should appear on all pack-
ages destined for foreign countries, that
is, the name of the street, the number of

dence or place of business at which the
addressee is to be found. The customs
declarations at such points where these
are necessary should also be similarly
carefully addressed.

Some Nursery Methods, Materials and Results'

A Study in Contrasts (

WHY is it tliat so many of us so often fail to grasp
tlie meaning of the lessons that are being learned
by others all around us? On every hand we see
the unfortunate results of actions that have gone before;
on all sides, too, we may see people employing the ma-
terials and practising the methods that will certainly
lead to similar results. Yet we fail to connect the two,
and, as likely as not, proceed to act just as unwisely and
continue to bemoan or deplore our "bad luck" when
things turn out wrong.

The accompanj'ing illustrations provide a graphic con-
trast that emphasizes these truths as they may afifect the
nurseryman — as they do affect him, in fact, although
frequently he doesn't realize it. In the first view is
shown a sidewalk planting of Sugar Maple trees raised

The Results of CrowdinBr in the Nursery

These "telegraph pole" Sugar Maples will take a long
time to get over the effects of nursery row crowding
if, indeed, they ever become really desirable specimens.

in the nursery row, the picture having been taken a year
after they were set out. Honestly now, is there much
to choose in grace and real treelike quality, as we gen-
erally think of it, between the skyscraping bean pole
like trees, and the telegraph poles that compete with
them — not unsuccessfully — for the attention of the ob-
server? Clearly it will be a long time ere these trees lose
their ungainly appearance if, indeed, they ever become
really effective.

Of course the trees have branches and leaves, such as
they are; but do not the thin, straggling wisps of foliage
merely serve to accentuate the elongated spareness and
poor proportions of the specimens? Of course, we want
a tree to be "tall, lofty and dignified," but to
have dignity, it must also have at least a
proportionate bulk. Now what is the trouble
here? Obviously, and as every nurseryman
can tell at a glance, it was too close planting
and too long continued crowding in the nur-
sery row. Up to the time they were ten years
old, we can imagine, these trees had ample
space for symmetrical development. Soon
after that every alternate one, and possibly
two, should have been removed (even though
they had to be added to the brush pile), in
order to permit the rest to become , trees
rather than spindling poles.

Unfortunately, the tendency in such a case
is to argue that since, according to the photo-
graph, the trees were eventually sold and
set out, the nursery did get rid of them
after all and was therefore saved the trouble
and loss of thinning theni. But this is a
shortsighted, narrow view. How much good,
for instance, will such a planting dp the, repu-
tation of the nurseryman responsible for it?
Furthermore, is it not logical to assume that

the price that could legitimately be charged for, say,
1000 trees such as this, would hardly exceed, if indeed
it would equal, the returns from one-third or one-quar-
ter as many well formed, densely headed, symmetrically
proportioned specimens such as would have developed
had plenty of elbow room been provided? Here, it
seems to us, is an excellent illustration of the falseness
of a snap judgment, of the shortsightedness of aiming
solely at sales with no thought of the possible after
effects, or of the returns that might have come from the
same stock under different handling.

Probably 75 per cent of our readers will interpret the
second of the two pictures on "how not to do it," as an
example of the effects of gas injury, or possibly of an
attack of Chestnut blight. But, on the word of a nur-
seryman and tree expert, who knows the history of the
case, it is nothing of the sort, but rather the result that
usually follows the moving or big trees by the crude
old-fashioned "dig 'em up and shift 'em" method.

Here is a pitiful story of a long, lingering death, an
inability to overcome the disadvantage of a root ball too
small in proportion to the height and spread of the
tree, and the shock of the abrupt cutting off of the main
roots close to the margin of this root ball shortly before
moving the tree. Doubtless, it was known when these
trees were moved, even as it is known now, that root
pruning stimulates the growth of a mass of short,
fibrous, feeding roots; and it was expected, we imagine,
that the more big roots that were cut, the more abun-
dant would be the resulting root growth and the quicker
the recovery of the tree from the shock of being shifted.
But probably it was even less, fully realized then than
it is now, that we understand but a part of the mystery
of all these things.

There is no doubt in our minds today as to the sever-
ity of the shock of moving a tree when this involves
cutting off its main root systems; the dense growth of
fibrous roots is simply a frantic effort to regain contact
with a sufficient source of moisture and food to meet
the needs of the leaf area and the above-ground bulk of
the tree. Naturally, in many cases, this growth cannot
develop fast enough nor cover enough ground to keep
the tree fed ; and after a fruitless struggle for one, two,
or even three or four years, the plant gives up the fight
even as did the trees in the picture.

But new theories are arising, such as that of Henry
Hicks, who wonders whether, after all, a pruned root
does not die back to the last shoot or division. If so,
this would suggest even slighter ability on the part of a
cut main root to recover promptly. Such questions as
these are problems for the scientist and investigator
rather than the practical nurseryman; but that he may
know all the facts and develop methods that will pro-
vide for them, the nurseryman should vehemently call
on his employees — the State and Federal departments of
horticulture — to make a careful study of all such sub-

The Right Sort of Tree, Rightly Handled

Manles were moved In Midsummer, when in full leaf. But for
plendid appearance, "there's a reason." They had been carefully
runed, and given room to develop, and the root balls were kept
'moist until well established in the new location.

The Results of Careless, Unscientific Transplanting

Large trees dug and moved without previous root prun-
ing are more than likely to succumb to the shock of
having their main root systems mutilated.

jects. And then, as a matter of course, he must see to
it that a fair share of his taxes and other contributions
to the governmental upkeep are expended wisely and
well for just such work.

However, all this is aside from the subject at hand
which is the problem of preventing such results as are
depicted in the two illustrations already commented on.
That there is a solution ready at hand is proved by the
third photograph, which shows two Norway Maples,,
one year after they were moved from the nursery row
to the locations in which they are shown. There is
little doubt, one may feel sure that these splendid speci-
mens withstood the shock of moving; one need not fear
that they are destined to pine away, since they have
retained their symmetry and beauty so perfectly during
the critical first year. And yet, remarkable to relate, these
same trees were moved in Midsummer, while in full leaf 1
The attempt was made as an experiment ; this the
Hicks Nurseries, which did the job as the first of many
such transplantings, admits. But its success added im-
measurably to their confidence that with the right ma-
terials and the right methods, practically anything is
possible in the tree moving field. And what were the
materials and methods in this case?

First, well grown, stocky trees planted out in a
checkerboard arrangement with plenty of room for
growth and cultivation on all sides ; second, two or three
transplantings in the first eight or ten years of their
growth, and repeated root prunings thereafter to de-
velop a compact, branching system of roots, all of
which could be included in a root ball of movable pro-
portions ; third, the ground around the tree was watered
thoroughly the day before the shift was made; and
fourth, after being set, the soil was kept
moist and well cultivated throughout the hot
weather so that the trees went into Winter
practically as well established as they had
been in the nursery row the year before. Of
course this meant a httle more trouble for
the grower, for the mover, and for the pur-
chaser, than is sometimes associated with the
idea of moving trees. However, the com-
mon conception of this process is usually
wrong. It has been effectively phrased, that
"A transplanted tree is less in need of a doc-
tor than of a nurse." In other words, if it
is prepared for the operation properly by
I>eing root pruned, given a good constitution
and gotten into good healthy condition, and
if after it is set in its new position, it is
given plentj' of attention, moisture and, as it
can assimilate it, good, wholesome food —
there, is little need to worry about the dp-
tails of the actual transplanting. A tree so
handled will hardly realize that anything has
happened to it.

Parcel Post Claims

A full investigation is to be made
by the Post Office Department into the
complaints made by business men regard-
ing delays in making payments of in-
demnity in the case of merchandise dam-
aged in transit. A large number of con-
cerns dealing in various classes of com-
modities have served notice on their cus-
tomers that they would cease their patron-
age of the parcel post service because of
excessive damage to small parcels and at-
tending delays of from three to five months
in effecting settlements of claims. Of-
ficials of the Department declare that
every efi^ort will be made to eliminate, as
far as possible, the damage and losses com-
plained of and to expedite settlements.

Freight Claims Bill

Congressman Ward of North Caro-
lina has introduced a bill in the House re-
quiring that all claims covering freight
lost or damaged in transit in interstate
commerce by railroad, express or other
transportation lines or companies, be ad-
justed within 60 days from the date of the
filing of the claim. A penalty of $100 is
provided for noncompliance with the pro-
visions of the proposed law, and the bill
has been referred to the House Commit-
tee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce
for its consideration.

Slileage Books

A bill by Senator Selden P. Spen-
cer of ]\Io., provides that the interstate
passenger rates as now or hereafter en-
forced shall proWde for the issuance of
mileage books of not less than 1000 miles
and at a reduction of §0 per cent from
the established rate. The measure, if
adopted by Congress, would give authority
to the Interstate Commerce Commission
to take such action as may be necessary
to carry into effect the operation of this
provision. A similar measure by Con-
gressman Barkley of Ky., provides that
the Interstate Commerce Commission shall
have the power to fix and establish on all
passenger carrying railroads a system of
interchangeable mileage books of one, two
and five thousand miles each, to be sold
by the companies at a rate one-third less
than the regular passenger fares.

NeMir Director of Census

William Mott Stuart has been ap-
pointed by President Harding to be di-
rector of the Cei^us, succeeding to the
office made vacant by the resignation of
Samuel L. Rogers.

Coal for Next "Winter

A study of the stocks of coal on
hand for next Winter is being made by the
Geological Survey as a result of the
steadily declining production, due in part
to high freight rates which, it is feared,
may result in a shortage next year.

Consumption last year, it is shown in
a preliminary report just issued, was some
eight million tons in excess of production,
the deficiency being made up by a draft
on consumers' stocks. The production
for the first four months of this year, it '
is stated, is considerably below current
requirements, even in the present atmos-
phere of business depression. At the be-
ginning of the year, consumers' reserves
of coal were comfortably large, but since
then they have been heavily drawn upon.
Up to April 1, however, the quantity
withdrawn has not been great enough to
lower the level of stocks to the danger
point.

Daylight Saving

There will be no national or sec-
tional daylight saving legislation by Con-
gress at this session, according to action
taken by the House Conunittee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce today.

Nashville, Tenn.

The local Iris Society, in connection with
the Nashville Society, has been contem-
plating an Iris show to be held at the
Parthemon in Centenniel Park. The cir-
culars were printed and the prize lists
were out when Jack Frost came along and
got into the game. Irises are supposed to
be immune to frost, and while this may
possibly be true^ it has been demonstrated
that they cannot withstand real freezes.
To make a long story short. Irises have
been so seriously damaged by the freezes
of the past two or three weeks that the
big show has been called off. There is a
possibility of a local show being held the
latter part of the week, but, of course, this
cannot be advertised and will not be much
of a show.

The past few days have been warm and
Koses are beginning to show buds again
The early buds of the outdoor Roses were
pretty well frozen off. It was interest-
ing to note that the Hugonis Rose did not
show the effects of frost in either leaf or
bud.

Filling porch boxes and setting out bed-
ing plants is the order of the day and
business seems to be very good. We do
not see as wide an assortment this sea-
son as we have sometimes in the past,
but the stock is excellent; in fact, the
policy of the growers has changed very
decidedly the past few years. Then, they
grew an abundance of 2in. or 2»4in. pot
plants of very indifferent quality and re-
tailed them at something like 50g. per
doz., the pots included with the plants.
Now, they grow good iin. or Sin. stock and
get §3 and §4 per doz. for it. The num-
ber of plants sold is not so large, but the
volume of business is larger, the public
is better pleased and the grower realizes
more profit. Ferns have been on the
short side for some time. This is one
plant whose popularity never seems to
wane.

There is a surplus of cut flowers, es-
pecially Roses, Sweet Peas and Snapdra-
gons, all of excellent quality. In fact.
Sweet Peas have shown the best quality
this year we have ever seen in the city.
At Joy's place we saw two long rows
planted on a raised bench, the rows 4ft.
apart and the plants about 3 Ms in. apart in
the row. They had been given a heavy
clay loam. They averaged fully 8ft. tall
and were a mass of blossoms from top to
bottom. I supposed that they were just
now at their best, but was told that they
had been full of blossoms for weeks. Grow-
ers are giving Sweet Peas more room and
a little heavier soil than they used to, and
the Peas are doing the rest.

Propagating stock is pretty largely out
of the way now. Those who put their
Carnations in the open groimd are busy
planting, Nashville growers, however, only
plant in the open the Carnation plants
they expect to sell, setting their own
directly in the benches.

Professor Bralliar has been exhibit-
ing some exceptionally fine Iris seedlings
this Spring. One is especially noteworthy,
a seedling of Pallida Dalmatica fertilized
with Siberian Blue King. This is an in-
teresting cross, in that the color of the
flower and the foliage show Siberian blood
while in everything else it is a Pallida,
and a very large flowering one at that.
Another is a giant flowered Caprice on a
40in. stem. The largest is a giant on a
58in. stem, while the smallest of this
year's crop of seedlings is a flower
scarcely more than lin. in diameter. Such
are the freaks one meets when he begins
to breed plants. M. B.

Corfu, N. Y. — The stork is a wonderful
bird, we all must admit. He brought a
son to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Erckert who
are in business on the State road, not
far from Batavia, and then in a couple
(ti days he came to this little town and
left another little fellow at Mr. and Mrs.
Wendelin Preisach. Both families have
the hearty congratulations of the trade.

The Market

During the week ending April 30
there was quite a large amount of stock
on the market, but the approach of
Mother's Day finds it in quite the oppo-
site condition.

Last week there was a surplus of most
all varieties of stock, and prices were
rather low on the average. Carnations
were the chief offenders, but safe to say
they will not be at the coming week.

Roses are still plentiful in most all
grades and quality continues good.

Outdoor Valley is practically over, and
Lilacs were never in evidence in large
quantities, due to the late frost killing
the buds while they were in tender state.

Some few Peonies made their appear-
ance this week, and the main crop will be
in in about two weeks, if weather con-
ditions remain as they are now. It is
doubtful if there will be more than about
one-third or one-half of the usual crop,
due to many buds being frozen.

A few Gladioli are to be had, and sell
on sight. Sweet Peas are not of good
quality, and Lilies and Callas are rather
shy at present. Greens are plentiful, but
not in strong demand.

We are advised by William F. Ekas,
a valued friend of The Exchange and at
one time its Baltimore correspondent,
that while motoring on one of the boule-
vards of that city, Monday, May 2, the
machine got out of the control of the
driver and upset. Robert Halliday, our
present and highly valued correspondent,
was in the car and was so imfortunate as
to be thrown out, sustaining a fractured
right arm just below the shoulder, besides
which a piece of glass from the wind-
shield imbedded itself in his leg between
the knee and thigh, severing a vein and
causing a profuse loss of blood; he was
also badly cut on the hands and face and,
generally speaking, painfully bruised
about the body. Due to the fracture of
the arm, a swelling developed which ren-
dered it impossible for the physicians in
charge to set the arm for a few days.

Mr. Halliday is at the University of
Maryland Hospital; quite naturally he
was badly shocked, but Mrs. Halilday
expects to bring him to his home as soon
as his condition will warrant.

This information will explain the absence
from our columns this week of Robert
Halliday's brightly written weekly news-
letter. The sympathy of our Baltimore
friends in particular as well as The Ex-
change staff and its readers generally, as
well, coupled with the hope of a speedy
recovery, are assured Mr. Halliday.

Washington, D. C.

City Notes

Howard Hale and his bride, of
Orange, N. J., honeymooned in Washing-
ton. They were guests of cousin George
C. Shaffer, and while here took in all of
the points of interest with Clarence Shaf-
fer as chauffeur-guide. Leaving here, the
couple went to Atlantic City, N. J. The
groom is the youngest son of Charles F.
Hale, former Washingtonian. The latter
is the uncle of George C. Shaffer, and it
was under him that Mr. Shaffer learned
the florist business.

J. Harper Hetherington, manager of
the Washington Floral Co., has entirely
redecorated the company's store at Four-
teenth St. and New York ave. The deco-
rations have been carried out in blue and
gold and give the store a vastly improved
appearance. Further interior decorations
are to be made in anticipation of the
visit of out of town florists during the
convention of the S. A. F. and 0. H.

David G. Grillbortzer, president of the
Washington Floral Co., and Mr. Hether-
ington plan to extend an invitation to the
visiting tradesmen to "drop in and see us
while in town." Their store is centrally
located, near all of the Government de-
partments and bureaus and in the heart of
the flower selling section of Washington.

Arthur Shaffer, who is connected with
the store of his brother, George C. Shaf-
fer, is the proud possessor of a medal in
the shape of a gold basket ball suspended
from a bar holding a strip of red, white
and blue ribbon. A similar medal, suit-
ably inscribed, was presented to his as-
sociates who played on the basketball
team of the Congress Heights Yankees
and won 38 of the 41 games played dur-
ing the 1920-1921 season. Mr. Shaffer
was manager of the team, which was pre-
sented with a large silver cup by A, G.
Spaulding &, B ro ., the sporting goods
firm. E. A. D.

Huntington, W. Va., a Rose City

The Herald-Dispatch of Huntington, Va.,
has been doing great things in the direc-
tion of encouraging Rose planting. The
Boy and Girl Scouts took part in the
campaign, and everyone was inveigled into
signing a contract to plant at least one
Rose bush. The newspaper is offering
prizes for the best Rosea during the Sum-
mer. During the campaign, numerous ar-
ticles on Roses appeared in the Herald-
Dispatch, including a lengthy one by J.
Horace McFarland.

Over Production

Realizing the probability of over pro-
duction of dwarf Roses, hedge plants and
various fruit trees by the nurserymen of
Great Britain, the Horticultural Trade
Association has distributed a special
chart among all nurserymen upon which
each is asked to record the amount of
young stock he has or plans to propagate.

The secretary of the association alone
will see these charts, but from them he
will compile a report.

Should the scheme prove a success, the
H. T. A. will doubtless make it a regular
feature and, through its reports, be able
to warn propagators of any danger of
over production.

Extract of letter of A. Lc Moult & Son, Inc., THE EXCHANGE. March 19, I92I :

"The F. T. D. A., I might aay, has been a big factor in our making the change, for while

we felt and know that we are well thought of among our out-of-town brothers, the 'Bowery* to

them has always been a drawback."

Could there be !n thii change of location AFTER A PERIOD OF 56 YEARS a higher tribute to the
value of the telegraph order?

The advertisers on this and following pages have long since appreciated this branch of their business
and their constant representation in these columns is a practical demonstration of their desire to "leave no
stone unturned" to secure the largest volume possible of "over the wire" business. RATES ON REQUEST.

AN INVITATION

From June 22nd until July 2nd I will devote
five to six hours per day to instructions in floral
work, arranging flowers for decorative purposes,
bridal bouquets, table decorations, funeral work,
etc. I will begin with preparing the single flower

HENRY PENN'S MESSAGE
Everybody Sells Something or Loafs

Mystery or Mastery

Have you ever stopped to think that there is no MYSTERY in
Success? It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It is baged on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that underlie business activity and human life! It
comes from MASTERY of these laws, and their application to one's
work! To know these laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligently is sure to bring success whatever one's undertaking .
MASTERY is the key-word, not MYSTERY! The change of one
letter, makes all the difference in the world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Business conditions are
rapidly changing. Just a short time ago there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more goods
■ than buyers. Instead of a seller's market, we have a buyer's market.
All business, or in other words, all hiunan activity, in its last analysis
is dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill; the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant hig merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice? Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your sales-
manship.
This message is taken from the Sheldon Science of Business of which
I am a class member at Boston, and I think it contains meat for all
florists.

What Insurance a Florist
Should Carry

By CLARENCE T. HUBBARD

FIRE

BURGLARY

PLATE GLASS

AUTOMOBILE

PARCELS POST

WIIIO.N a Hurist strives with all energy, salesman- iiuirc than his bank account is so lost — many cases the merchant all financial loss which he migHt suffer by
ship atul opportunity to increase his profit and appear on record showing where the entire store and means of a riot, the outcome of a strike or some similar
then through the nicajis of some business inter- its contents liave been attached) is in the accidents which uprising,
rujition, such as a fire or burglary, loses this financial can occur in tile operation of a delivery car. Yo'u should
gain, he can he said to be "gaining at the bunghole hut have your driver covered with automobile liability in-
losing at the spigot." The florist anxious to legitimately surancei at the highest limits that can be afforded as

make all the money possible that his business will permit
should give attention not only to increasing sales, but
also to the guarding of all hazards whereby profits
might be diminishexl.

just how much insurance you should carry is, of
course, a matter of calculation as to how much your
income will warrant. Strictly speaking, you should
carry as much insurance as is consistently possible. For
in addition to the protection so acquired and the atten-
dant service secured, there is the "credit value" to be
considered. You will find that the insurance you carry
has a bearing on the considerations received from' your
banker, also from the houses
from whom you expect credit.

Every florist should consider
fire insurance, general liability
insurance, burglary insurance
and plate glass protection.
These four forms of insurance
are most essential.

General liability insurance
includes public liability protec-
tion. Under a policy of this
kind you guard yourself
against loss of profits and re-
sources which might have to
be paid a customer through ac-
cident happening to the cus-
tomer in slipping, falling, or
getting injured in any way
while in the premises of your
store. Inasmuch as lawsuits
are today started at the slight-
est provocation, the reasoning
of having such protection is
very apparent. Fire insurance
on your store is, of course,
equally' essential.

The florist should also carry
burglary insurance, for the
average merchant generally
maintains a certain atuount of
money in the store safe until
the day following when it can
be banked. With robberies and
store thefts constantly on the
increase, the worthwhileness
of protection in this direction
can easily be realized. The
form of burglary insurance

court judgments in this direction are not light. In addi-
tion collision insurance is recommended and can be ob-
tained much cheaper if the $50 or $100 deductible cover-
age form is chosen. In the $100 deductible form you
pay the first $100 of damage brought about in a collision,
the insurance company paying all liability above this
amount. The $50 deductible form is just the same, ex-
cepting that you pay the first $50 of damage, the in-
surance companying paying everything above that
amount. This type of coverage (and owing to bad
experience many companies are discontinuing the writ-
ing of full coverage) can be secured at a much lower

Awarded a silver medal. _ .^^^^

Parcels post insurance and registered mail insurance
are two other forms of profit protection which the
florist can apply. Both of these forms of insurance are
very reasonable and are issued by the insurance com-
panies in the form of open policies. By this it is meant
that you are furnished with a book of coupons for which
there is no charge. Upon mailing a package of bulbs
or the like which you desire insured, the coupon is filled
in with the proper value, one portion of it mailed to the
insurance company and the other retained by yourself,
the proper shipping number being filled in at the post
office.

There is still another form of insurance which is now
being written and at the present time attention can be
drawn to it merely as a matter of information. It is in
the form of credit insurance
which protects a florist against
all loss by means of granting
credit. You can obtain full in-
formation regarding this form
by writing to any agent or
broker, if interested.

Nearly every business hazard
can today be insured. Your
own employees can be insured
against loss by sickness or ac-
cident under the group plan,
which also protects against loss
of life. Inland and ocean
marine forms' of insurance
guard the loss of goods in
transit either by rail, truck or
water. Check forgery insur-
ance is written by several com-
panies in the United States.
This policy is accepted by many
florists, as the premium is very
reasonable and the protection
most valuable. Sprinkler leak-
age and water damage insur-
ance to protect your stock
from loss by damage from
water is another form of de-
sirable insurance protection
that can be obtained.

The florist should look upon
insurance not as a gamble but
as a business proposition, the
cost of which should be right-
fully included in his expense of
doing business. Insurance
should not be looked upon as
something to merely have

most popular with retail merchants is a safe and mer- premium. Your delivery cars' should also be protected handy in case of an accident or unexpected business hap-
cantile policy which protects not only the contents of the with property damage insurance which carries a reason- pening, but rather as a protective service to be applied

safe but all damage to the safe itself and premises, able premium with it. The value of fire and theft in-
which a thief might cause in his methods. Such a policy surance on automobiles is well known to all business

can also be written to cover not only all loss of money,
but also loss of uncanceled postage stamps and ^uch
merchandise as might be in the safe. The premiums for
burglary insurance are not expensive, although the
minimum premium for which such a policy will be
written is $5.50. However, for a very few pennies a
day you can secure burglary insurance protection that
will guarantee loss against profit or income in this direc-
tion.

As nearly every florist has a large plate glass or two,
which is constantly exposed to the danger of storms,
flying missiles, falling signs, crowds, explosions, build-

men. In the event of your operating a series of de-
livery cars numbering five or more, you can- obtain
"fleet" insurance whereby all cars are insured under one
policy. In getting proper automobile insurance for
your delivery car or cars, be sure that you are given
the commercial rate and not the pleasure car rate.

In addition there are other coverages which can well
be recommended for the florist whose income will per-
mit the carrying of same. Among these is found fidel-
ity bonds which you can have an insurance company

in minimizing the hazards of losing jncome, resources
and profit.

Flowers and "The Finest"

Isn't it wonderful, the effect of wo-
man's influence? And isn't it equally
wonderful — and particularly gratifying —
liow quickly she sees and capitalizes the
possibilities of flowers in exerting her
beneficent influence?

These truths have just been brought
home to us in a simple and flowery way,
and thereby hangs a tale. As some of our
readers, who have given us the pleasure
of visiting us, may know, a few doors
from the building which shelters The
Exchange is a police station, known of
old as "Hell's Kitchen," and reputed to
have housed more murderers than any
other police station in this city. It has
been transformed by feminine hands and
inspiration into the home for ISTew York
City's first women's precinct where it is
planned to center all welfare work of the
women's police of the city. Until recently
this building was simply a typical city
station ■ house presenting, with its severe
brownstone and brick front, its iron rail-
ings and basement window guards, its
heavy, dun colored interior -trimmed with
dull inahogany colored woodwork, and its
ubiquitous green lanterns, a vivid impres-
sion of the cold, inflexible, hardly hos-
pitable "majesty of the law."

Then, by virtue of a sudden order. Pre-
cinct 22, for such it was officiallv, was
transferred elsewhere, and the building
became the headquarters of the AVoman's
I olice Division of the department. And,
oh, what a change is tlifre, my country-
men! Not in essentials, perhaps, for the
building remains unchanged with its
green lamps as green as ever. But at the
windows hang spotless sash curtains,
through which one can sometimes glimpse
an interior attractively redecorated in
white and soft creamy tones. And, most
effective of all in transforming the frown-
ing front of the building into a smiling
exterior, is a series of window boxes, one
to each of the four big windows, from
which blight Geraniums raise their heads.

I The Market

I There has not been much change in

market conditions since the last writing.
Stock has been plentiful with a demand
that has , used up everything in the line
of first class stock, leaving the poor stock
to be cleaned up the best way possible.

I Prices have remained steady, and while
no fancy prices were realized, still they
wei-e ample to satisfy the grower.

' The supply of Roses has been heavy
and the quality of the best. There has
been no trouble in disposing of the short
and medium lengths, but the longer lengths

, have been hard to move at times. Pre-
mier, Columbia and Butterfly are the
favorites. American Beauty Ro^es are
in limited supply and have cleaned up
daily.

I Carnations have been good property,
with the supply not nearly large enough
to meet the demand, and every morning
found the wholesale houses sold out.

I Easter Lilies and Callas have been in
good demand, which also holds good of
vSnapdragons. It seems as if this latter
flower is gaining in popularity every year,
and when the grower can get it to the
market in good conditioj,' he can realize
a good price on it. Sweet Peas have
been poor in quality and at times it hardly
paid the grower to ship them in. Valley
and orchids have been in demand and
liave cleaned up daily. A few Darwin
Tulips are arriving and sell on sight. Other
nfTerings include Calendula and yellow
and wliite Daisies. Cut ferns have been
scarce and Southern Asparagus plumo.sus
has been arriving in very poor condition.
The outlook for Mother's Day is
bright, with a demand far greater than
tiie supply, and as usual Carnations will
have to be divided among the trade. The
wholesale houses are not promising large
amounts to any one, but will simply give
each one their share. It looks as though
there will be a good supply of Roses, Snap-
dragons and other seasonable flowers to
take the place of the Carnations.

Several road men of the local supply
houses were in town last week. Those at

J. W. Dudley of Parkcrsburg and
Clarksburg, W. Va., was a Pittsbut-gli

business as on a par with last year.

It was with regret that the trade
learned of the death of Mrs. J. J. Fuchs,
wife of one of Pittsburgh's best known

some time, and her family knew that there
was not much chance for her recovery.

JUNE 4

i The death of Charles Jasper Hill has re-
moved from among the local florists one
who had a natural love for flowers. The
late C. J. Hill passed away at his
home, Lasalle road, Verdun, on Friday,
April 29, at the age of 45 years. Born at
Hamilton, Ontario, Mr. Hill came to Mon-
treal when he was 19 years old and went
into the fruit, provision and butcher
business, catering largely to the shipping
trade. His love for flowers led him to
enter the florist business, flrst in a small
way, then renting the store of Dyson
Bain. Still later he bought the green-
houses and plant of the late S. S. Bain at
Verdun, and also opened a large store in
Westmount. During the visit of the
Prince of Wales to Canada. Mr. Hill was
appointed purveyor of flowers to the
royal train; he was naturally very proud
of the honor conferred on him. Later he
received a royal warrant from the Prince
in recognition of his services. He was a
high Mason, a member of Prince Consort
Lodge, and also a member of Kiwanis
Club. In 1896 he married Miss Jean
Hanna of Belwood, Ontario, who, sur-
vives him. He also leaves three daugh-
ters and one son, Jasper. Mrs. Hill's
brother, Mr. Hanna, has the management
of the store.

The early Spring weather we are hav-
ing has pushed Spring flowers into
bloom in abundance. The gardens are gay
with Tulips and other Spring flowers
which has created a demand for bedding
out stock. Flowers are more plentiful.
Roses are arriving in an open condition
and have to be moved at a low price.

George Hall of Lord & Burnham Co.
and Harry Braunt of New York have
been in Montreal and report good busi-
ness In their respective lines.

Hail Visitations

Hail losses are reported from Temple,
Texas; Waco, Texas; Grand Island, Ne-
braska, and' Salisbury, North Carolina.
At the latter place J. Evan Hanford's
greenhouses are badly broken up. Ed.
Williams was visited at Grand Island. At
Waco tlie Wolfe Floral Co. was the un-
fortunate, and the Bell Floral Co. of
Teini)le was broken up somewhat.

Mothers' Day

In the age of Shakespeare and Queen
Bess, England designated a day to be
known as "Mothering Day," and the fir.st
liowers of field and garden were picked to
briug to Mother.

It was a day to decorate the home of
the living and the resting place of the
dear depaited.

It was left to America to revive this
tribute of gratitude to Mothers,

of you. ^■Jt-ry ^av"-

culated by Idlewild Greenhouses, Mem-
phis, Tenn. The color work is soft and
effective, and shows a happy recipient of
a decorated box, about tq place it on the

cut blooms and flowering plants is given
inside the folder, together with a well
worded invitation to make use of the
Idlewild Greenhouse for the purpose of
honoring motherhood.

J. S. Brunton Honored

The many friends of J. S. Brunton,
editor of 2'he Horticultural Trade Jour-
nal, Burnley, England, will be interested
to learn that the King of the Belgians has
conferred upon Mr. Brunton the rank
and insignia oi Les Paltiis en Or de L'Ordre
de la CouroHue and upon his wife the
Medaille de la Reine Elizaheth, in recog-
nition of the services they rendered the
Belgian cause duiing the war.

The Market

The weather the past week was cool
and rainy. Sweet Peas felt the effects of
damp. Roses continue in fair supply.
Carnations in some instance.^, are showing
the effects of the weather. -At time of '
writing, April 30, markets cleaned out
nicely. Peonies have started to arrive
and are quoted at 15c. Gladioli are quoted
from §1.50 to S2.50 a doz. Good Car-
nations are quotedf at 6c. to 8c., while
certain varieties sold at 4e. and 5c. From
tlie present outlook Carnations will be
scarce for Mother's Day. Telegrams came
to the, wholesalers during the week ask-
ing for stock and in quite a few in-
stances, were turned dowTi. It is up to
the public to determine, in a measure,
prices for Mother's Day. Tliey should de- !
cide that in the purchase of flowers no i
variety or color should be shown favor j
then there would be little excuse to boost
prices. Itere about two weeks ago, white
Carnations were being slaughtered, two
doz. for 25c., and fair stock at 50c. per I
doz. On the face of all this, we hear |
the gi'owers preaching and telling the |
trade that it costs 5c. to produce a Car-
nation. The customer cannot understand
why he should pay S3 for Carnations
^[other's Day; he calls the florist a rob-
ber, little knowing that the retailer him-
self was taxed !$1.50 a doz. for the same,
but if prices had remained uniform and
no flowers allowed to be sold under cost
f production, these increased prices
id not be noticed.

NcTffs Notes

Publicity will have its innings the
coming week. Daily papers, afternoon
and evening, will have special ads for
brother's Day.

Special window displays for Mother's
Day are being shown by the prominent
retailers.

From the present outlook there will
be quite a scarcity of flowers for Me-
mj^rial Day. Several thousands of Peonies
will form a lifesaver. At time of writ-
ing there is quite a scrambling to get
stock.

"Say it with Flowers" Week at the
^Missouri Theatre was a success. J. J.
Beneke had charge of the floral arrange-
ments during the week. The theatre was
tastefully decorated with flowers and
plants.

The "Say it with Flowers" League gave
their stag party Saturday night to their
friends. A very enjoyable time was spent.

The competition for prizes was very
exciting; the high score was won by
Johnny McGann, one of H. G. Beming's
staff. Johnny was quite a surprise to the
crowd, as he lifted quite a few of the
big six off their feet.

May Day in Paris

It is reported that the flower venders
of Paris did a roaring business in Lily
of the Valley on May 1. Custom decrees
that every man present a spray of this
flower to his sweetheart on May Day,
which accotmted for the lively trade.

One of the most per.sistent advortisprn
in the history of success )vas Kobin«on
(♦lusoe. He knew what he wanted— a
.ship— and he put up an ad for one. He
(hnig a shirt on a, pole, at the top of his
island; that, in the language of the seit,
was plain to every sea-faring man.

"The circulation was small — there was
no other medium — but Crusoe kept at it,
despite tbfe fact that he got no inquiries
for a long time. He changed his copy —
as one garment after another was frayed
out — and in the end got what he wanted.

"Supjjose Crusoe had taken down that
signal after a time and declared 'Adver-
tising doesn't pay." Where would he and
his story be now?

"Put u\) your signal and keep it there.
Crusoe advertised under very di.scourag-

thing — it is only necessary to have the
patience, persistence and pluck of Robin-
son Crusoe-^and the good ship 'Better

Toronto, Out.

Dunlop's Ltd., are figuring on a me-
clianical refrigerating plant for their
store. G. M. Geraghty has visited Buffalo
and other places where they are in use
and finds they are giving satisfaction.
He plans to have a system that will take
■•care of their three refrigerators. A sys-
tem of cooling the store in Summer will
be included. Air will be cooled by draw-
ing it over ice, and in this way the tem-
]>erature will be lowered 15 to 20 degi-ees.

Mr. Geraghty reports heavy orders for '

design work, and many F. T. D. orders.

He anticipates a good trade for Mother's

Day. The Toronto members of the F. T.

D. will meet at his apartments shortly to

■ np additional plans for the eouiing

convention. J. W. Garamage of London

N chairman of general committees oiit-

of Toronto, and it is expected that

the whole organization will be completed

in another week.

The publicity committee of the Retail
Floiists Club, of which G.' M. Geraghty
; ch'airman, is advertising Mother's Day
widely. The Weekly Utar and the daily-
papers are being used, and the advertise-
ments are appearing in large .space. In
■ this connection tlie Canadian National
Telegrajjh are distributing 15,000 folders
advertising the telegraph business for
Mother's Day, pointing out that mothers
.lay be reached anywhere.

C. J. Tidy has retu-rned from the West
Indies, where he has been since Feb.* 7.

e had a good trip visiting places of in-
terest, and looks line. S. ' McFadden, of
I'idy & Son, reports many wedding deeo-
ons during the past week. Several of
these were (*hurch affairs. Their new re-
frigeiating machine is now operating
and keeps the refrigerators at from 44
deg. to 26 deg.

X.t is expected that Geo. Baldwin will
give an illustrated lecture at the next
meeting of the Toronto Retail Florists
C'lub, on May 9.

H. G. Dillemuth has been in demand

locently at several club luncheons. Re-

i t-ently he addressed the Rotarians, and

nil April 29 he addressed the Electrical

Glub, at their luncheon, on '*Say it with

Flowers."' In his address he pointed out

that in Canada, tliere were 12,500,000 sq.

I ft. undeT- glass devoted to the growing of

lloweis and 2,000^000 sq. ft. under glass

devoted to the growing of vegetables. One

Canadian company alone has 32 acres

under glass, has 250 employees and uses

10,000 tons of coal in a season. It ships

-flowers to New York, Chicago, Cleveland,

., ;., daily,

Mr. Dillemuth advised the greater use
of palms and ferns in the offices. Flow-
ers are now looked upon as a necessity in
tlie most humble home. He explained
iother's Day and the F. T. D., stating
that flowers can now be delivered in
Egypt, Austria, South America or to al-
niost any address in the world.

G. W. Warren has been busy with de-
sign work. He is looking for a record
business for Mother's Day.

J. A. Neal states that business is good,
especially the telegraph business. Prices
are advancing.

Simmons have many wedding decora-
tions; there is a good outlook in this con-
nection.

The Aliiambra Florist has installed a
new refrigerator and is having the store
redecorated.

visit France and Switzerland before re-
turning.

Your correspondent visited the great
greenhouses of the Dale Estate,
at Brampton, Ontario, and found
that there is going to be a real
shortage of flowers for Mother's Day.
The warm weather has brought on the
flowers early with the above result. Tlie
stock coming on looked fine, however, and
there will be some choice stock available.
BiLsiness with tlie Dale Estate has been
consistently good.

At the Brampton greenhouse of Sim-
mons &. Son some very fine Sweet Peas
and Carnations are being cut.

Seen at Hamilton this week, W. E.
Groves, president of the Canadian Flo-

Carnations and all other flowers will
be scarce for Mother's Day. Consequently
prices will be high. The way that orders
have been coming in for the past few
weeks assures a holiday trade in keeping
with the other major days .of the florists'
year. . _ ,

Carnations have been rather off crop
since the Easter glut; unusually wai-m
weather forced a heavy crop at that time,
and had it not been for the street sales
aud department store sales, growers would
have had a loss.

For three weeks the cut has been getting
lighter. Many orders have been turned
down fur Mother's Day and many more
will be reduced when it comes time for
fillijig tliem. The price will be $S aud $10
a luindred. With Roses as next choice,
they will be scarce. The supply of Sweet
Peas will depend upon the weather. Plants
will be offered in fairly plentiful supply
by the retailers. ^

The florists' club are advertising flowers
for Mother's Day in the local newspapers
Sunday, May 1, and two or three days of
that week. Such good results have been
obtained from the associated advertising,
as demonstrated at Christmas, Valentine
Day and Easter, that this is now an es-
tablished feature of the cUib. Besides, a
fund of $6000 has been subscribed by the
club _ members to be used for publicity
throughout the year. Twenty-five x^er cent
of this amount is to be turned over to the
national publicity fund. Miss Mary Hay-
den, manager of Samuel Murray's shop,
is chairman of this committee.

Rock's advertised a sale of Shawyer Rose
bushes for 40 cents, three for $1 for Fri-
day, April 9. These were taken from their
greoifliouse and tlie space they occupied
^vill be filled with Ophelia.

John Stevens has purchased ten acres
of ground on the edge of Independence,
l\fo., and will erect two greenhouses for
Carnations. He will develop his new va-
riety, a beautiful pink, which has been ad-
mired by all who have seen it. He ex-
pects to put it on the market next season. •
Mr. Stevens was put out of business by a
severe hailstorm last May. His entire
range was demolished, not even a trace of
the outdoor plants being visible after the
storm, and the glass was splintered and
driven into~the ground. A. N. Nielsen, of
Pana, III., who has built some houses on
this location, has' put out about 20,000
Carnation plants on the Stcveus ground in
Independence and will plant many more in
the next few week.s. He has cliosen this
as Mr. Stevens will not use all of the
new gi-ound this season and the city water
is piped there.

The Alpha Floral Co. is building sev-
eral new houses on its ground near Over-
land, Kas. This will assure a great
great amount of stock for the company's
retail store where heavy shipping busi-
ness, as well as local, is handled.

W. S. Dolan, of the American Green-
house Manufacturing Co. has been in Iowa
for several _ weeks aud is sncnring some
good contracts.

A high average. Not easy of attainment. Nevertheless, from the ready
manner in which retailers throughout the country have bought our

De Luxe Design Book

when given the opportunity of a before-hand inspection, we are con-
vinced that nine out of ten if given similar opportunity would consider*
the DE LUXE DESIGN BOOK a distinct business asset in their estab-
lishments. ■

The illustrations of practical designs to suit all
classes of demand have that power of salesmanship
'which improves the reading of the total on the cash
register at night.

We have over fifty out-of-town representatives who will gladly present
the DE LUXE DESIGN BOOK for your inspection on request. If you are
not easy of access to our nearest representative a copy of the book will
be sent you on a ten day approval.^ The price, postpaid, $4.50.

Notification on the blank below will have prompt attention.

May and June

'J"hc iivfiage retail grower may keep on
pushing every month of the year, but his
greatest opportunities to do business are
in May and June. We all have customers
who i;et but very little during the rest of
the y»>nr, but we find their names on the
ledger and a good sized account below, by
the tirst of July. At no other time of
the >ear have we a better chance to sell
eitlier hardy or bedding stock, seeds, bulbs,
lertilizer. fill window boxes, vases or hang-
in;! ba.skets, plants for the garden or
do garden work, than right now. It's
hay time, or should be; almost everybody
witli a few feet of land around their
home is in the market for something we
have to sell ; you can't say that at any
other time of the year. Give your home
folks a double dose of advertising and do
it now; wake them up, make them think
about planting; get your own place into
.shape; set an example; make them talk
[about you ; go after business now ; you
can't do it sis weeks from now.

Vegetable Plants

You may not have call for 4in. and
Sin. pot plants of Tomatoes, but those
•who have, find them to pay as well if
not better than bedding stock. There is
this much to a potted Tomato, and it
means a lot in sections of the country
where the Summer season is short; you
can plant the stock out with no check
whatever to the plants, they don't need
to be shaded and kept covered; they go
right ahead and get busy. If we call at-
;teution to this fact, in nine cases out of
every ten, your customer will see the ad-
vantage of this and is willing to pay the
dUterence in price. Why not pot up a
.2:ood batch of your seedlings and give it
ia trial and, from year to year, keep on
loffering heavier stock with prices accord-
ingly? The same with Peppers and Egg
Plants; there are people who even want

Parsley in 2%s if you get them used to
It. What is the difference what you have
in pots, as long as a fair profit can be
realized out of them? A strong plant of a
Tomato will get established in a pot in-
side of two weeks.

Schizanthus for Outdoors

Schizanthus makes a fine Summer cut
flower, but it doesn't amount to much ^r
the plants last very long if you have it in
a crowded condition. We know into what
wonderful specimens plants can be grown
under glass if given a liberal sized pot
and kept pinched back, yet we sow seed
outdoors in rows and expect 300 plants to
grow and flower in a space hardly large
enough for 25. If you sow outdoors, thin
out as soon as the plants are large enough
to handle and allow at least from Gin. to
Sin. of space between them. Still a better
way is to sow indoors, pot up into 214s
and plant out later, allowing about one
foot of room. Give it a trial and you
will find it a good way. If you have plenty
of use for the graceful flower spikes all
Summer, make several sowings.

Roses for Outdoors

The season for the planting of dormant
Roses such as Hybrid Perpetuals or the
Hybrid Teas is about over; in fact, they
all should have been planted in early
April, but you can plant from pots al-
most any time or as long as you have them
on hand. If you are sold out and have
room, you can still purchase some dor-
mant bench grown two or three year old
stock of either Killarney, Ophelia, Mi-
lady or Columbia ; cut them back to
within Sin. or lOin. from the base, and let
them come along in a cool house or a
frame. By the end of the month they
will all have started into growth and are
ready to be planted out and flower in two
weeks or so afterward. The retail grower
has call for such Roses almost all Sum-

mer, and if you plunge the pots up to
their rims outdoors in a coldframe, they
will keep on growing and flowering. Have
some on hand, they don't require much
attention, and often a good sale can be
made to someone in want of Roses long
after the bedding season is over. If you
can get hold of some dormant stock of
climbing Roses, it won't do any harm to
pot up a few of them as well.

Cobaeas

Are those Cobasas staked up? It just
costs a little more to attend to them
properly and get the most out of them
than to let them shift for themselves and
become worthless. Each plant wants a
stake and should be tied up and the plants
gone over every ten days. Shift 2i^in.
stock now into 4s, or 5s; 4in. will do for
the ones you want up to June 1. let those
for later have 5s.

Dusty Miller

If you have Dusty Miller in 2i^s it
might be well to shift a good batch into
Zy^s. Take out the strongest plants, they
will come in handy for the filling of
window boxes. Their silver gray foliage
with its fern like appearance, goes well
with the stiff foliage of Geraniimis and
they will look well all Summer. It can
stand sun and will do as well in a shady
place. For borders around beds the Dusty
Miller is used as much as ever, but when
given a rich soil and kept too wet they
are very apt to damp off and, if this hap-
pens in the middle of the Summer, as it
usually does, it spoils the appearance of
the whole bed^ no matter how well filled in
the center.

Primula obconica

If you grow Primula obconica from
seed, you should make a sowing right

Common Barberry in England

Although the common Barberry, Ber-
beris vulgaris (a native) has long been
' kno^Ti in England as a carrier of rust
which affects AVheat, no serious effort
has been made to exterminate it, even in
^Vheat growing areas.. Indeed, it is
largely raised in nurseries and is used,
both as a cover plant and for cut foliage.

The British ministry of agriculture has,
however, just issued a warning regarding
It, In Wales, where the Barberry is
ino-^t prolific, farmers are giving up
AMieat because of the rust. It is stated
t;!mt since Denmark exterpated the Bar-
berry IS years ago, rust has ceased to
trouble Wheat growers.

F. B. Abrams Starts Another Big
House

j F. B. Abrams of Blue Point, L. I.,
iN. Y., one of our largest and most suc-
|Cessful growers of Carnations, has just
placed an order for a new greenliouse 69ft.
6in. wide, by 400ft. long. This house
^vill make the second unit in a separate
range which Mr. Abrams started a few
vears ago.

The contract for the new house has been
!?iven to Lord & Burnham Co., w^ho have
fijuilt all of Mr. Abrams' houses. It will
ije one of their full span standard houses
■vhich have proved their worth wherever
juilt. Steel frame; rafters I2ft. 6in.
tpart; sides of house 7ft. high; ridge, 24ft.
lOin. high; four lines of ventilation, oper-
■tted by Lord & Burnham Co/s counter-
weight apparatus. The house, like the
>iie next to it of about the same size, will
Je heated by steam through 28 lines of
■l^in. pipe, vacuum system and high
pressure boiler being used. When the last
louse was built Mr. Abrams constructed
' I'oiler house and workroom of goodly

size, so that the boiler power and work-
ing space are all ready for the new house.

Mr. Abrams intends to construct solid
beds and will grow his Carnations in
these. Many growers are turning to solid
beds and pronounce them quite satisfac-
tory for certain varieties.

It will be an incentive to growers to
learn that Mr. Abrams is extending his
greenhouse growing facilities. In these
days, when so many are holding back, wait-
ing for old prices and the old order of
things to return I the.se are a long, long
way off } it is stimulating to learn of
those who believe and back their faith
with action, that the cut flower, vegetable,
and plant industries are bound to advance.

We have known ilr. Abrams for a good
many years and have watched with keen
interest his start and progress. We re-
member when he staited with a little
greenhouse constructed with sash; then an-
other built on Locust posts, with a sash-
bar roof; next a little better construction,
wrought iron side posts, steel columns and
purlins and better and more ventilation;
then the steel frame house.

As Mr. Abrams prospered he increased
his land acreage, until now he owns 30
acres, eight greenhouses, to be nine with
the new one. About a year ago he moved
into a fine modern hollow tile and stucco
house, which is a model of comfort and
convenience. Back of the house is a new
garage, housing a fine new sedan and tour-
ing cars, as well as delivery trucks.

Mr. Abrams is one of the standby citi-
zens of Blue Point and has taken, and ia
taking, an active interest in the develop-
ment of Blue Point and vicinity. If you
were visiting Mr. Abrams it would not
be long before you realized this. Callers
are welcome.

Mrs. Abrams is the ruler of the house;
but no, on second thought, we think the
little girl, about two years old, really is,
as all others, including the daughter and

son, regulate their actions, to a great ex-
tent, by what she wants. The son, Her-
bert, who is at Hanover, N. H., at col-
lege, has shown a decided liking for his
father's profession and, no doubt, when
his college days are over, will take an ac-
tive interest in the business. Mr. Abrams'
father is alive and is at the greenhouses
every day — he does not merely look on,
but takes off his coat and does a big day's
work.

All success to Mr. Abrams and his fam-
ily. The more we have like them the bet-
ter for the profession and country.

American Association of Park
Superintendents

The official journal. Parks and Recrea-
tion for April is an attractive book of
some 60 pages, well printed and illus-
trated, it affords one the opportunity of
studying the activities of this live or-
ganization. Particularly interesting are
the notes and illustrations relating to
recreation, while zoology in public parks
is well handled by Hermann W. Merkel
of New York. The illustrations of vari-
ous animus in the N. Y.^'Zoological Park
are particularly good. The Journal is pub-
lished quarterly at Minot, N. D.

American Sweet Pea Society

The Bulletin and Schedule for 1921 has
reached us and, while not a pretentious
publication, its 16 pages are utilized to
the full.

The thirteenth annual exhibition and
convention will be held at the Museum of
Natural History, Central Park, New York
City, on Saturday and Sunday, June 25
and 26. Thirty-nine classes are enu-
merated in the schedule, seven of which are
open; the remainder are for private

now. You needn't send to Europe for
the seed for an excellent strain of this
great florist Primula ia produced right
here in this country. For the smaller re-
tail grower it is almost as well not to
bother with seed for the extra early ones,
he can purchase from the specialist well
established 2in. or 2y2in. stock from the
end of June on which if given just a
little care will grow into heavy Sin. flow-
ering plants by December. If you never
sell a plant of Primula obconica and
just use the flowers for design work dur-
ing the Winter months, it will pay you
well to grow it and, if you want it for
cut flowers, try to plant out a nice lot of
4in. stock on a bench about September 1
into five inches of rich well drained
soil in a house where you can maintain a
55deg. temperature. Shade very lightly,
when the plants come into flower. At a
pinch you can lift some of the plants
when in full bloom and pot up.

Everlastings

So-called Everlastings or Strawflowers
are always of value to the retail grower
and there is call for the flowers even dur-
tlie middle of the Summer when the gar-
den is full of Asters and Gladioli. With
most varieties and especially Acrocliniimi,
Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena) Helichry-
sum, Rhodauthe, Xeranthemum and Sta-
tice sinuata, it is just as well to sow
thinly right outdoors in rows; thin out
later on, and let it go with that. If you
grow only a few plants, you can sow in
a frame and transplant later on, which
means a little saving in seed, but more
expense in labor. By all means, if you
have the space, sow out some of the
above and keep the flowers cut when they
begin to appear. To let any of them go
to seed usually means that the plants
soon will give out while those kept cut
will last for a long time. What you can't
use liang up to dry for later use.

gardeners and amateurs. The Horticul-
tural Society of New York is providing
the prizes for sixteen classes. The con-
vention takes place at 3 p.m. on the first
day.

The Bulletin furnishes several interest-
ing notes written by well known authori-
ties, as well as the official classification
list.

Still Another

At least once a year the subject of free
seeds prompts someone to break into
verse. The following is from the Minne-
apolis Tribune:

FREE SEEDS

When Spring came smiling through the land

And set the Uttle brooks to singing.
When every breeze was soft and bland

And homeward all the birds were winging.
When blossoms burgeoned on the mead

And green the buds were, on the lattice,
I used to watch to see the seed

My Congressman despatched me — gratis.

And ah! Ijsed to plant them, too,

I set them out on every May-day;
For I was young — the skies were blue,

And Spring and hope were in their hey-day.
I watered them with tender care;

The richest, blackest loam I brought 'em.
And all the time that I could spare.

I gave to them from May till Autumn.

But though the rains wept o'er their beds.

And sunbeams warmed their resting places.
No sproutlets ever raised their heads.

No plantlets showed their tiny faces,
But after years I came to know

That neither rain nor sun nor diet
Nor care nor toil could make them grow.

In fact, they wouldn't even try it.

And yet, in Springtime, when they came,

.^ide I reverently laid them.
And always thrilled to see my name

Upon the packet that conveyed them.
But when they came the neighbors knew

That wasn't in the least essential;
I mattered Uttle if they grew.

^/3 >i*^A:le:f

A wire to this office from W. F. Ekas, Baltimore, Md.,
on Tuesday, with a confirming letter on Wednesday,
advised us that our troubles, as chronicled in the past
few issues of The Exchange, in connection with the
above individual, were about over. This man, passing
under the names of F. B. McKee, T. A. Murray and
Frank Ballantine, among others, was arrested in Fred-
erick, Md., on Monday, May 3. He was transferred to
a Baltimore jail on Tuesday, and tried in that city on
Wednesday on the charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. As we go to press the result of the
trial has not been telegraphed us. In addition to the
above, the Newark (N. J.) authorities are instructing
the Baltimore police to hold McKee upon his release in
Baltimore, so that he may be brought to Newark to
answer the charge of forgery committed in that city and
nearby recently, in which The Exchange and other
publications are involved.

The inconvenience to those who were duped by this
man has been our chief regret in the matter while our
actual financial loss is an unrelished burden.

Down through the ages changes have been wrought in
most every direction but "Thou shalt not steal" is still
an unmistakable warning, a disregard of which ulti-
mately brings its own retribution. McKee is but an-
other instance of a man who might well have employed
his ability in legitimate channels and succeeded.

Boy's Week and Mother's Day

It was a happy thought that led to the selection of the
current week to be dedicated to the interests and wel-
fare of the boys of the nation. For the last day of that
celebration is Sunday, May 8, Mother's Day — and some-
how there is something more than ordinarily beautiful
and close and human in the combined thought of mothers
and boys — their sons. The millions of youngsters in
the United States can be left at the end of "their week,"
with no more hallowed thought in their minds and no
more strengthening inspiration in their hearts than the
thought of their mothers. Well may we suggest that
every mother's son of them wear a boutonniere on that
day as a precious duty, no less than as a noble privilege.

National Crusade the Only Remedy

Below we publish an editorial from a recent issue of
the New York Times which calls much needed attention
to the prevailing wanton picking of flowers and mutilat-
ing of shrubs and trees in the New York City Parks
It is a discouraging feature of the age in which we live
that this absolute disregard of the rights and privileges
of others should continue to exist and to flourish.

Not only fs it our parks which are thus mutilated but
now, more than ever, through the influx into the country
of the automobile, this destruction is spreading rather
than decreasing. Many even make bold to come right
on to a country property and help themselves not only
to flowers, but proceeding still further, by breaking off
and carrying away whole branches of flowering shrubs
and trees. Many suburban residents have been so en-
tirely discouraged in their endeavors to beautify their
home surroundings through this thieving practice that
they have left their grounds entirely to grass.

There should be a national crusade instituted to break
up this pernicious practice and the ones to head this
crusade should be our own people through their national
organizations, namely, the Society of American Flo-
rists, the American Association of Nurserymen and the
American Seed Trade Association backed by the con-
certed influence of all local trade and horticultural
bodies.

Who will be the first in the field to have the honor of
leading in tliis crusade?

Repressing Park Vandalism

That 700 people should have subjected themselves to
arrest by picking flowers and mutilating shrubs and
trees in Central and Prospect Parks, N. Y. City, on a
single Sunday is a severe commentary on the intelli-
gence and the honesty of a part of the metropolitan
public that should be deeply humiliating to us all.
And the arresting of these misdemeanants, though it is
justifiable and necessary as an immediate device for the
protection of public property, is not entirely satis-
factory.

To inspire fear in those amenable to no other In-
fluence is useful, but how much better would it be to
make universal an appreciation of what a stupid and
wicked thing it is thus to treat what belongs to every-
body— what belongs to everybody, not in the sense that
everybody is privileged to help himself as from a com-
mon store, but in the sense that everybody is privileged
to enjoy the sight of beauty that cannot be appropriated
piecemeal without diminishing or destroying it.

A particularly discouraging feature of the situation
as it exists with respect to the parks is the widespread
belief that to pick flowers is an evidence of esthetic
taste, of refinement, of virtue. Of course, it is noth-
ing of the sort — of course, in most instances and always
where parks are concerned, it proves complete lack of
those qualities. To this illusion — which possesses not
a few people who think much of themselves and would
be shocked to hear themselves condemned as ignorant
and barbarous- — is due the practical extermination of
wild flowers in the neighborhood of all cities.

Instead of encouraging children to pick flowers, why
not teach them to see them where and when they are
most beautiful — to realize what ugly worthless, dead
things they are a few minutes or hours after they have
been torn from where they were living and happy?
Yes, happy, for plants, as recent investigations have
shown, have a much higher degree of what may be
called sentience than formerly was supposed and
they probably have a sort of suffering different
but' actual, when they are maltreated.

Their destroyers, therefore, are cruel, as "well as
stupid and thieTish,

Burroughs Society to Save His Haunts

The movement started by friends and admirers of
John Burroughs to preserve the Catskill Mountain
(N. Y.) cottages where, for many years, he did most of
his literary work, and also his home on the banks of the
Hudson River at West Park, eventuated today in the
filing in the Ulster County Clerk's office at Kingston of
a certificate of incorporation of "The John Burroughs
Memorial Association."

The association also is "to foster and promote the
spirit and teachings of the poet-naturalist." The terri-
tory in which the operations of the association are to be
conducted is North America and the principal office is
at West Park, Ulster County, N. Y.

Consoled. — A rector in South London was visiting one of
his parishioners, an old woman, afflicted with deafness. She
expressed her great regret at not being able to hear his ser-
mons. Desiring to be sympathetic and to say something consol-
ing, he replied, with commendable self -depreciation: *'You
didn't miss much." "So they tell me," was the discon-
certing reply. — Kansas City Star.

Your Business and the World Outlook

As citizens we are often exhorted by reformers to
give more thought and attention to our local govern-
ment and politics. "Who has the greater influence on
your daily lives," they cry, "the President and Congress,
or your town and village officials?" Of course the
point is well taken and good government, like charity,
should begin at home.

Nevertheless, with the convulsions that have shaken
the world during the past few years, has come anew
the necessity for bringing our local affairs into a com-
mon focus with broader problems, for considering ways
and means and the conduct of our lives and businesses
in the light of national and even of international rela-
tions. It is not only your neighbor and "the stranger
that is within thj' gates" whose lives you can affect
but also the stranger who dwells thousands of miles
away — across land and seas — whom you never have seen
and may never hope to see. If 3'ou and I were ever our
brothers' keepers, we are still more so today — and the
family circle has widened to take in several hundred
millions of poor relations, many of whom are truly
deserving.

Francis H. Sisson of the Guaranty Trust Co. of New
York, put this in succinct form when he said at a recent
convention, "We can no longer be content to live and
let live, but we must live and help live if we are to
enjoy the fullness of life ourselves."

One comprehensive reason for this is the fact that
we are today, in fact, the "rich uncle" among the nations.
From a position of debtor nation to the world of some
five billions of dollars before the war, we have moved —
or been moved by circumstances — to the position of
world's creditor in the sum of fifteen billions of dollars.

Assuredly we can afford to be magnanimous, even I
it were not true that only by continuing Internationa
relations in a sane, generous, broadminded spirit cai
we hope to retain our advantage. ^

It is a general failure to recognize these changed con
ditions, to appreciate their causes and to accept th.
readjustments that they make necessary, that is largel;
responsible for the continuation of the business depres
sion. Cries for better times arise on all sides, but n<
one is ready to take the steps and accept the share o
temporary sacrifice that alone will lead to security an(
prosperity.

Unfortunately, this mulishness is all too apparent evei
in the ranks of our legislators where, theoretically, wt
should be able to count on able, open-minded, unselfish
far-sighted leaders and pilots. The pending Emergenc;|
Tariff Bill, advanced and hailed as salvation for thj
farmers, must prove anything but that because of thil
nation's change from a borrower's to that of a lender',!
status. What good can it possibly accomplish to set uji
artificial barriers in the way of marketing our farni
products in foreign lands and receiving their goods ii|
return, when one of the most pressing needs in thi!
world readjustment is increased business, greater tradi
and commercial activity, closer contact and a freer fiov
of goods and wealth between countries? If it is no
failure to realize these things on the part of our Con
gressmen — in which case they should be awakened ant
informed — it is simply refusal to recognize them, whicl
is worse.

And because the small legislative part of our countr
cannot correct mistakes, institute reforms and brinj
about desired, essential conditions so long as the coun
try as a whole is inert, indifferent or antagonistic, th'
burden rests on all of us to take the right attitude anc
demand the sort of laws and developments that an
obviously needed.

"By and large," concludes Mr. Sisson, "the duty o
supporting our foreign trade does not rest entirely oi
the banker. Our banks cannot work alone; they mus
have the cooperation of their customers, if our trad'
is not to suffer a decline as spectacular as has been it
rise. If the banks tied up their liquid funds in long'
term investments, no matter how good the security, thet"'
would soon be no more liquid capital and the virants o
our agriculturists and manufacturers could not be supi
plied.

"The variety of our foreign trade is now so wid^
that an excess of production over consumption react!
upon every class of our population. The duty, there]
fore, of supporting our foreign trade in this time of re
adjustment to the more permanent conditions of thi
future rests on every individual citizen who feels tha
his welfare and prosperity are not independent of thi
economic position of his country. '* * ■* In brief, ou;
principal problems are no longer domestic, they an
international. That is the paramount meaning of oU;
new post war economic and political status."

Don't Monkey With Nature

Dangerous, indeed, are the attempts to interfere witl
Nature. Trinidad in the West Indies wished to rid itselj
of rats and snakes, so it imported, from the neighboring
Island of Santa Lucia, the mongoose, which specialize!
on eating both snakes and rats. ]

The result has been seriously to cut down the suga
production of Trinidad. The illogical mongoose, turn
Ing aside from Its duty of eating only rats and snakes
began to eat a variety of lizard which had been in th
habit of eating the "froghopper," which in turn destroy
the sugar cane. i

So we have a "vicious circle," more mongooses (it i
difficult not to write mongeese), fewer lizards, mor
froghoppers, less sugar cane.

Honolulu once tried a similar experiment. It im
ported the mongoose to eat the Japanese beetle, whicl
was destroying the flowers. The mongoose, however
preferred the frog, which was a more potent enemy o
the beetle and left the Insect pest to thrive unhamperec
More mongooses, fewer frogs, more beetles, less flowers

In one district of Mexico, coyotes were thought to^
common. Poison was brought in literally by the carloa^
and the coyotes suffered. The result was that rabbit'
increased so that they destroyed the chief food crop ol
the country. Fewer coyotes, more rabbits, fewer beans
fewer men.

It's a dangerous task, this trying to Improve on Nature

We don't suppose that the writer of the above ap'

Nation's Business, knows much about Quarantine 37-

^Memorial Trees for the Living, Too

The idea of living trees as memorials is not a new
one. In many scattered connnunilies all o\er the coun-
try, since the signing of the .Xrmistice, it has been
ado|>ted as a means of paying permanent tribute to those
who died in the war.

But the latest and largest application of the plan, con-
ceived of in Chicago and described in another column
01 this issue, develops the possibilities of the idea to
the utmost. As mentioned there, it is not so much the
beautifying effect of some four million additional shade
trees set in unbroken lines along the country's main
hiKhwa\s that will count, hut rallicr tile psychological
effect of that amount of new tree planting and tiie al-
most inevitable growth of a policy of general reforesta-
tion. If this can come to pass the men in whose honor
the trees are planted will enjoy the enviable satisfac-
tion of knowing that they served their country not only
in war, but also in peace, by bringing about the conserva-
tion and replacement of natural forest resources that
are of immeasurable value.

Assuredly this is a movement deserving of the support
not only of nurserymen, but also of every citizen who
has the best interests of the country at heart. This sup-
piirt may later take the form of actual participation in
the planting activities; at present it should consist of
talking in favor of the plan, supplying facts about it
and the need of more trees and meeting arguments
against it. On practical grounds there is no possible
objection to be raised. As far as the claim that road-
side trees will prevent highways from drying out after
rains is concerned, the facts are that they will have just
the opposite effect, helping to absorb through their roots
the surplus moisture. At the same time their shading
and sheltering effect will tend to reduce the formation
of dust which, loosened by automobile traffic results in
rapid disintegration of the highways and the discom-
fort of those who use them.

Of the sentimental value of the program, nothing new
can or need be said. The way is clear — let us join forces
in carrying the idea to successful completion.

Poking Fun at Us Horticulturists

It is usually easy enough to find in the daily papers
I humorous errors based on lack of horticultural knowl-
I edge or the mistaken use of what is known about some
' plant or cultural method. Consequently, it is a welcome
surprise to find an occasional extract in which a clever
writer and a keen observer makes use of a real fa-
miliarity with his subject in genially "joshing" or criti-
■ cizing horticultural workers.

; We have had our attention called to a lengthy edi-
torial in the Macon (Ala.) News, of which the subject
is a new pink Daffodil exhibited before the Royal Horti-
cultural Society (Eng.), and the problem of finding a
name for it. Commenting on the report that the six
existing bulbs of the new variety were purchased for
$r200 apiece, the editorial says in part :
"Twelve hundred dollars for a monopoly of all the
'Daffodils of this type is not as much as the $40,000
I offered as a prize for a black Tulip, during the Tulip
mania in Holland in the seventeenth century, * * ♦
but it is quite a tidy sum for a few 'Onions,* just the
same — and particularly wlien all the chances are that
it will revert to type and be no more remarlcable than
many another Daffodil that blooms in old-fashioned
gardens."

Then it quotes the following letter from a jocose cor-
respondent who, as the editor of the News remarks,
"uttered a mouthful" :

"There is, I take it, a great deal of activity at the
Royal Hort. Society at the moment, for the beautiful
pink Daffodil which was shown at the Spring flower
show on Tuesday is not yet christened. It is no light
work thinking out a name for a new flower, as per-
haps you know; such a name must, to be successful,
express grace, beauty, delicacy and other flowerlike
qualities — but you probably know some Roses your-
self. I hear that the nomenclature department of the
society, working at top speed, have up to the present
evolved two names for this lovely flower, in this order
Df merit:

1. Mrs. Elihu Hinckson Hoggenhelmer,

2. Adolphus Gumbley.

The first will probably be the final choice, which la
inly natural. BEACHCOMBER."

The editorial then gives voice to some more serious
dioughts and an indictment or two that we must admit
are warranted, in these paragraphs.

The nomenclature committees of the horticultural so-
:ieties of the world have not always been as success-
'u] as the daughter of the house of Pullman was (in
inding names for her father's cars.) Perhaps there is
;ome excuse for baptizing a whole species in dog-Latin
m the theory that a dead language is understood by
he experts of all the countries in the world. We re-
"olt a little at the idea of calling a Sun Rose "Helian-
hemum," but in practice we won't call it that at all.
But in the naming of varieties there is no such ex-
use for bad taste. Even so distinguished an expert

A Tribute to Mothers! "Say it with Flower«"

By J. .-Iiislin Shaw

The beautiful hands of my mother dear,
.At rest neath the Daisies for many a year.
Strange, is it not, as the shadows grow
And the eventide gathers, they thrill me 80>

Beautiful hands of the long ago,
Hands that so tenderly toiled, 1 know,
Toiled for me as my baby feet
Toddled along in the busy street.

Toiled, as sped on the years of my youth;
Patiently pointing the path of truth.
Beautiful, soothing, soft, white hands.
Pain would vanish at their commands.
Fears would scatter, and sorrow flee.
When those dear old hands were laid on me.

And those beautiful hands are as real to me
After fifty years, as they used to be.
I feel the thrill of her presence now.
And 1 see her smile as my head I bow.
My heart o'erflows, with the passing hours.
And I dream of her, as I "Say it with Flow-
ers."

it. In this instance the name is German, and simply
means "Queen of Colors," so that all objection might
be obviated by simply translating it. Indeed, the hor-
ticulturists of France, reacting to the prejudice which
exists against everything Germany has seriously con-
sidered rechristening Frau Karl Druschki as Mme.
Charles Druschki. In this country we got around that
long ago by informally naming it the white American
Beauty.

But Blumenschmidt is still with us, and so is Gruss
an Teplitz and Herzogen Marie Antoinette and Veil-
chenblau and Tausendschoen, merely taking the Roses
at random.

And aside from the inelegance there is the question
of the lack of uniformity. If you have a good old
Maiden's Blush, for example, it is not worth while
to go ahead and get a Charles Dingee. a Jeanette Heller,
a William R. Smith and a President Smith, for if the
catalogs can be believed, they are all the same thing.

But, returning to the pink Daffodil, let us piously hope
that the correspondent of the London "Express" was
merely spoofing and that the nomenclature committee
has no idea of tagging it with the name of Mrs Elihu
Hinckson Hoggenheimer, which, in all likelihood, was
merely a manner of "speaking."

If you put it up to us, we give it the name that has
already been applied to a Dahlia and call it "Uncer-
tainty."

All of which makes good reading for the public, and
good publicity for the fiorist trade. Indeed, this reminds
us of the gratifying frequency with which fiowers and
floral affairs are mentioned in the press since the "Say
it with Flowers" campaign began to make itself felt. In
other words it is successfully "selling an idea" as your
advertising expert would put it.

Ohio District

Ninety-eight members in the first thirty days that or-
ganization work has been attempted is the record for the
Ohio District of the National Flower Growers Associa-
tion. These men represent many of the larger growers
in the state and control about 2,000,000 square feet of
glass. This membership campaign has been carried on
under the direction of President Carl Hagenburger of
Mentor who, with Director Lars Anderson and Secre-
tary L. C. Vinson, have visited practically every large
city in the State, carrying the message of cooperation
to the growers.

In each of the cities visited, they have organized a
strong local body to carry on the work outlined by the
State parent body. The cities now organized are Cleve-
land, Toledo. Youngstown, Cincinnati, Dayton, Colum-
bus, Akron and Canton.

A part of the work that is being started and commit-
tees appointed to study ways and means of improving
are the standardization of the grading of plants, the
development of cost systems for greenhouses, the estab-
lishment of a credit system, etc. Remarkable has been
the interest displayed by the growers attending these
meetings and the questions that are asked, show the de-
sire Rud need for an organization which w'11 carry
out the work that this body proposes to do. The pres-

Hardy Primroses

(Concluded from page 1075)

For seeding purposes, the plants should be potted or
planted in a house away from the main bulk and, as
insects may not reach the flowers, it will be necessary to
hand fertilize. Primulas have both pin and thrum eyed
flowers, that is the stigma in some instances protrudes
beyond the stamens ; in others it is withheld. The latter
type or thrum eye was the favored form of the old flo-
rist. In the open ground hand fertilizing is unnecessary.

Plants reserved for division should be divided care-
fully immediately after flowering and set out where
they can be watered and shaded or, if time will not per-
mit it, they may be planted in lines close together and
kept watered and partially shaded. Splitting up can be
done in the early Fall but, as Primroses make much of
their growth during the Fall, the division should not be
left until it is time to shift under glass.

When purchasing seed it is better, if possible, to ob-
tain the colors separate. Yellow, crimson, white and
blue can be secured, while bronze is also obtainable. Of
mixed, there are many fine strains including the famous
Munstead, developed by the well-known Miss Jekyll.

The Gold Laced Polyanthus

The true gold laced Polyanthus too is worthy of at-
tention; the gold edged flowers are peculiarly attractive.
The reason for their eclipse since the days of Glenny is
doubtless due to the fact that the hard and fast rules
made it impossible for raisers to keep up to them under
the conditions in which the selection was carried on.
To keep Primroses in full vigor propagation by seed
must be carried on ; constant division wears them out.
Old-timers in their endeavor to raise new laced Polyan-
thuses, saved seed from their best named forms but, as
they knew nothing of Mendelian laws, the pollen parent
was not much considered. At least, it has been recorded
that from thousands of seedlings not one advanced
type was obtained.

The gold laced type therefore did not hold its posi-
tion. By aiming at certain defined markings, all other
characteristics including vigor were overlooked. The
Gold Laced Polyanthus is naturally less vigorous than
the ordinary type but, by raising seedlings annually, it
should do almost as well as the ordinary type.

The Double Primrose

It may be mentioned that the double Primrose is par-
ticularly charming, especially the pale violet form. There
are seven colors, plena alba, white; plena cuprea, copper;
plena carnea, rose ; plena atropurpurea, purple ; plena
rubra, red; plena sulphurea, primrose; and plena vio-
lacea, violet; all classed as varieties of P. vulgaris and,
presumably, originating in Britain. They are not so
strong growing as the single forms, but they flower
freely, the blooms being pure vulgaris type, not bunch-
flowered.

They are. of course, all propagated by division, but a
few years ago a Scotch fancier discovered a method of
obtaining seed from them, a large percentage coming
perfectly double.

A Word for Other Species

There are many other species of hardy Primroses
worthy of cultivation for sale as pot plants. Requiring
practically no heat, they are neither costly or difficult
and, owing to their varied colorings and forms, they
would be welcomed by many as Spring flowering plants.
Easily raised from seed and available in great variety,
they should not be ignored.

It may truly be said that one could wholly specialize
in Primulas, tender and hardy, and have flowering
plants almost the whole year around. Scores of species
and varieties can be raised from seed yet to the average
plantsman, not above half a dozen forms exist.

It is time the others received attention.

Nursery Department

Some Nursery Methods, Materials and Results

{Continued from page 1091)

Besides, if you are tempted to bring up the matter of
extra bother and time required, is not the answer found
in the obvious results? What is not a full grown,
beautifully shaped, thickly leaved tree worth as an ad-
junct of a new or undeveloped property? What do the
grateful shade, the appeal of a tree to the birds, the
murmur or the breeze through its branches, mean to the
owner and his family, when it is realized that by any
other means a delay of from ten to twenty years is
unavoidable? These are the measures by which to judge
the value of modern transplanting methods and, weighed
in the balance, they have been found not wanting.

Naturally, the problem of moving a still larger tree
than those shown in the picture, or a tree grown by
itself in unrestricted space instead of the nursery row,
presents added difficulties. But these problems, too,
modern ingenuity has met and solved, the keynote being
the careful digging out of all the larger roots all the
way to their subdivided extremities, the wrapping of
these systems in burlap or canvas, their careful tying
up along the trunk as the rest of the root ball is dug out,
and their equally careful distribution and replacement in
an excavation of adequate size when the tree is reset.

Of course this is a big and oftentimes a difficult task.
But it is the kind of task that accomplishes big things,
that is worth big money, that creates big effects and
that builds up a big, permanent, profitable business and
reputation. After all, that is what we, as representative
American nurserymen, desire, and what, as measured
by the merits of our trade, we deserve. E. L. D.

May is usually clean-up month in the nursery. Ship-
ment of dormant stock ceases and, as orders fall off,
giving an opportunity to gather up the odds and ends
of heeled in and cellared plants, the many duties left
undone about the nursery during Spring rush may now
receive attention. Advertise to dispose of your surplus
heeled in or cellared stock ; restock on exhausted items ;
plant and transplant to keep up your supply. Start to

stake the trees for straight stems and single leaders, re-
membering "as the twig is bent, the tree grows."

Cut back shrubs that have flowered, if you want bushi-
ness and plenty of flowering wood for next year. Do
not allow Rhododendrons to go to seed. Clip the Privet
or similar plants for formal specimens. Maple, Elm and
other seed which ripens this month, should be collected
and sown immediately. Pot up some plants — shrubs,
evergreens, perennials, vines, Roses, etc., for the late
comers in Summer and advertise your preparedness to
supply this trade. Anticipate Memorial Day by having
a good supply of plants appropriate for the day. In
May, the scale insects hatch. The young are now about
and should be sprayed before their scale covering de-
velops and makes them harder to destroy.

The pruning and spraying of trees and shrubs for
your customers affords a source of revenue throughout
Summer and keeps your organization intact. If you can
do this, solicit orders now for execution later when
work about the nursery becomes dull.

If you have not already done so, by all means start thel
cultivators and hoes going to keep down weeds and con-
serve moisture. It puts caliper in the trees. S. N. B.

We gave the story of the "Own Your Own Homa" Exposition oa piga 1033, Ap ri 1 30.

James Keely, a former newspaper man, has con
forward with a plan for perpetuating the memory ol
American war veterans individually and collectively^
that is at least worthy of careful consideration.

It is proposed that millions of trees be planted along
the highways of the country, beginning with the Lincoln
Highway from New York to California and the Dixie
Highway from Chicago to the Southland. One tree
would be planted for every soldier who served in the
war. At each tree would be placed a marker bearing
the name of a soldier, the unit in which he served, and
other record of his participation in the great war.

In the more conspicuous spots would be placed mark-
ers bearing the names of those who gave their lives for
their country or displayed great heroism otherwise dur-
ing the struggle. These trees and markers would be lo-
cated, according to the plan on the corners, at cross-
roads and in other prominent places. There is something
inspiring in the thought of these living memorials. It
is well that artificial memorials such as buildings and
monuments should be constructed; but the placing of
living trees in honor of our heroes adds a bit of pleasant
sentiment that, it seems to us, should help materially to
keep alive the memory of those who fought that the na-
tion might live.

Since this idea was started by the Chicago Tribune
telegrams have poured in from every part of the coun-
try, from newspapers, organizations and individuals who
voice their enthusiasm for memorial trees. It has al-
ready received the support of the American Legion, all
the patriotic societies, the G. A. R. and other veteran's
associations.

It is now up to the nurserymen of the country, as well
as florists who handle nursery stock as a side line, to
join in the support of this great movement. It is also
up to the trade press to help dissipate what little objection
there may be to the movement on the part of some
who contend that the planting of trees will rob the
ground of much nourishment for other crops along the
highways and of others who contend that the shade of
the trees in Summer will prevent the roads from drying
out quickly after rains. These are small objections and
not well taken and should have no consideration on the
part of patriotic citizens.

It will be a great boom for the forestry movement, as
it seems to be the general belief that when the Ameri-
can people have planted 4,000,000 trees they will have
found the task so easy and the result so beautiful that
their tree planting will have just begun. There are
aon.nno miles of t'-av"l"d roads across the country and
if these were lined with two trees to each 30 feet, the
result would in a few years suggest completion of the
work, and more trees would be planted each year. The'
ultimate result would be the entire reforestation of
America.

It is certainly up to the American Association of Nur-
serymen, at its coming convention in Chicago in June,
to endorse this movement and give it moral and financial
support.

Gardeners and Florists Club of Boston

Till.- postponed moiulily nicftiiif; was held at Horticul-
tural Hall on the evening ot April 26. As is usual with
this very much alive club, a large nuitiber of members
were present. President \Vm. H. Judd opened the meet-
ing and the minutes of the preceding meeting, as read
by Secretary Wm. N. Craig, were approved. The re-
port of the committee in charge of tlie arrangements for
a complimentary dinner to the four presidents of na-
tional horticultural organizations was to the effect that,
on account of some unfortunate circumstances, the pro-
posed festivities could not' be put through and, after
some discussion, the proposal was made to take the
matter up at a later date.

Birthday Flowers

A communication was read, asking for the support of
the club in a movement which contemplates advocating
the use of flowers for birthdays on a larger scale. The
promoters would designate a certain kind of flower for
each month of the year to be acclaimed the birthday
flower. The club voted to take the proposal under con-
sideration. President Judd appointed the following com-
: mittee to report at the next meeting, B. J. Letson, chair-
man ; Wm. N. Craig, Harold A. Ryan.

Membership Gain and Loss

Six applications for membership were received and
: favorably voted upon.

Through the recent death of its member, Frederic C.
i Green, superintendent of Roger Williams Park of Provi-
1 dence, R. I., the club and the horticultural fraternity of
/ America have sustained a severe loss and a committee
' was appointed by the president to draw up a resolution
of condolence to be sent to the afflicted family.

Mass. Hort. Society

Secretary Wm. N. Craig introduced A. R. Jenks, field

secretary of the Mass. Hort. Society, Avho outlined the

object and the work of his society and who mentioned,

among other things, that the Mass. Hort. Society is

using much of its energy to increase its membership.

, Mr. Jenks spoke of the record and achievements of his

, society, pointing out that it is the oldest and largest

; organization of its kind and he called especial attention

to its grand horticultural library, which is the second

. largest. His efforts at recruiting were well responded

to and a number of the club members filed applications.

A closer approach by the members of the club to the

Mass. Hort. Society can only result in benefits for both.

The Art of Flower Arrangement

President Judd then introduced B. J. Letson as the
speaker of the evening who was to give a lecture on
Flower Arrangement. Mr. Letson, for a number of
years manager of Carbone's Flower Store is eminently
;well qualified to speak upon the subject of arranging
flowers. He has not only served in his profession from
;the bottom up but, he has also devoted much time,
■thought and study to the task of finding the true prin-
ciples which must always govern artistic and satisfactory
arrangement of flowers and, with arrangement, go se-
■ lection of material and a thorough knowledge of how
to prepare the flowers so that they may last under vary-
ing conditions for the longest possible time. Mr. Letson
does not advocate the use of shears for cutting of the
flowers. He would use a sharp knife, make a long
'slanting cut and split the stem for some distance. In
this way, a greater surface is offered for drawing water
;into the stem and foliage. A dull knife or dull shears
;and a cut straight across tear the cells and clog up the
ientrance for water. All flowers treated in the way first
described, will far outlast those treated otherwise.
.Heliotrope, which is a subject much given to quick wilt-
)ing without recovery, will behave very well if the stems
■are first plunged into hot water (as hot as the hand will
bear) for ten minutes. Many other flowers, especially
all having a woody tissue, like Dahlias, Poppies, Mignon-
ette, etc.. act favorably after this treatment. For flowers
with a succulent stem this treatment will not do, cold
water is sufficient. Flowers with hard wooded stems,
like shrubs, should have the bark peeled and rolled back
for a few inches, the bare stem is then split and im-
mersed into boiling water for ten minutes, whereupon
the whole stem is put into the vase containing cold
water. Fresh Roses that have for some reason wilted,
.can be brought back very easily by throwing them into a
|tub of cold water for an hour or more. They come out
Df the bath fresh as a Daisy. In severe weather, flowers
ireceived in the store from the greenhouse or by custom-
;=rs from the store, should not be unpacked for a few
nours. They should be left untouched in the box and
3t]t into a cool room where the temperature in the box
ivill be given a chance to change slowly. Then they
ihould be treated as mentioned above, each kind accord-
ngly. All the above may seem to make a lot of work.
Alaybe it is more work than the common way of just
Mamming the flowers into a vase or something but, the
Satisfaction and the long lasting quality which is given
'vith the above treatment far outweighs all the extra
vork and induces a greater appreciation of flow^ers on

stick the stems, up to the necks, into fresh water for a
few hours.

A thorough knowledge of how to treat each individual
kind of flower is of great advantage in the retail store
where it is of the utmost importance to retain a cus-
tomer's patronage by giving satisfaction in every in-
stance. It all leads to a more general use of all sorts of
flowers and enhances trade.

The speaker then demonstrated in a general way how
to arrange flowers in vases and other containers. He
laid great stress upon the importance of having contain-
ers not only of appropriate and artistic designs but also
of the right proportions as regards height and width.
He does not believe in stiff, formal arrangement nor in
the use of too many flowers in any arrangement. A
graceful and satisfactory artistic effect can be produced
best with the fewest flowers possible. He likes to use
box green for a foundation in a vase or basket. This
green is not to show above the rim, it is simply there
to stick the flowers into and to steady them. No
other foliage but that belonging to the flower should
ever be used. Mr. Letson is absolutely against the indis-
criminate use of all kinds of ribbons, etc., in the ar-
rangements of flowers In vases, baskets or otherwise.
Here or there a bow of ribbon may be advisable, but
never on the handle of a basket nor around the neck of
a vase. The same holds good in regard to plants. Rib-
bons have no place around the stems of a plant or woven
through the branches.

The speaker had many more practical and common
sense suggestions and his educational lecture was well
received, earning him an enthusiastic vote of thanks.
Mr. Letson is in great demand as a speaker all over the
States. His pleasing manner of delivery and demon-
strating has greatly endeared him to the ladies and the
good results from his lecture are apparent in many
directions.

After the close of the lecture, refreshments were in
order and, soon after, the meeting adjourned after a
pleasant and profitable evening.

The Exhibition

The exhibition table was fairly well filled. Wm. N.
Craig showed Hydrangea Otaksa plants in 4in. pots,
started from cuttings last Fall. These were planted
three or four to a pot and made monster heads of flow-
ers. Three to four of these big flowerheads in such a
small pot were quite a revelation. Mr. Craig also ex-
hibited 18 varieties of Narcissi of the finest sorts. Two

pots of Canna "Fiery Cross" attracted a lot of attention
on account of the fine built flowers and the vivid color-
ing of the same. James Donald of Hingham exhibited
line blooms of Stocks Beauty of Nice, Carnation Laddie
and some exquisitely scented Malmaisons of largest size.
He also showed some fine garden Primulas. Wm. Roech
of Waltham showed six specimen plants of Calceolaria
hybrida of a size and finish seldom seen these days.

"Poppy Day"

Which Is to be celebrated on May 30, to mark the inter-
national friendship between America and France, has
been approved by President Harding in a letter accept-
ing the honorary presidency of the American committee.
This committee, with the cooperation of the American
and French Children's League and the American Legion,
will be in charge of the celebration.

Efforts are being made to bring the day and its
significance to the children of city schools, and the
international friendship which this recognition will en-
gender among children, cannot but be for the benefit of
the world in general.

Vegetable Plants in Pots

In the Week's Work, Fritz Bahr has, on several occa-
sions, referred to the advantage of growing extra strong
plants of Tomatoes, Peppers and Egg Plants in pots,
and has remarked that some people will even buy Pars-
ley in pots. This is undoubtedly true, for those who
have the money to spare do not consider the question of
cost if they gain an advantage over the ordinary home
gardener.

In Great Britain where exhibition culture of vege-
tables is a fine art, some firms specialize in raising extra
choice strains of vegetables, and it is not an uncommon
thing to find them handling Onions, Leeks, Celery, Pars-
ley, Cucumbers, Melons, Tomatoes, Marrows, and all
kinds of greens, any of which may be had in pots if
desired.

Western N. Y. Growers Gather

More than 200 guests and members of the Western
New York District Flower Growers Association met in
the ballroom of the Iroquois Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.. last
night for their annual banquet. Wallace H. Eiss acted
as chairman and arrangements were in charge of Eugene
M. Naukam.

The tables and the ballroom were decorated with
choice flowers contributed by the florists in the organi-
zation.

Herman Knoble spoke on "Merchandising Your Busi-
ness," telling of many details in the florist business
which must be attended to in proper manner if the busi-
ness is to be a success. He spoke of the great impor-
tance of advertising. "Advertise in the daily papers by
all means," he said, "stating the price and describing the
articles which you have for sale. Now is the time to
increase advertising rather than retrench. Cooperate
with the national organizations in the campaigns which
they are boosting."

Mr. Knoble spoke of the National Flower Show to be
held in Cleveland. March 35 to April 1, 1922, of which
A. D. Taylor of Buffalo is the landscape architect.

J. F. Ammann spoke on advertising from the growers'
standpoint. He said that the 1930 Christmas business
of the florists of the country was from 15 to 20 per cent
greater than that of 1919 because of advertising, and the
same percentage of increase applied to the Easter busi-
ness this year. This was in face of a general depression
existing in other lines of business.

"Say it with Flowers." was referred to by Mr. Am-
mann as the best stroke of advertising that has ever
been put over in the United States.

A Passport. — The Archbishop of Canterbury was to ofEciate
at an important service in London. The main entrance to
the Abbey was opened and a great space roped off so that the
dignitaries might alight from their equipages unmolested.
When a dusty four-wheeler, driven by a fat, red-faced cabby,
crossed the square, bobbies rushed out to head him off. "Get
our of 'ere," one of them called out briskly. "This entrance
is reserved for the Archbishop." With a wink and a back-
ward jerk of his thumb, the irrepressible cabby replied cheer-
fully: "I 'ave the old duffer inside." — Christian Register. — P.

The Florists' Exchange

Every Effort Being Concentrated to Make This One of the Most Noted Outdoor

and Indoor Plant and Flower Shows Ever Staged. Will be Worth Going Out

to California to See.

This body, of which Roy F. Wilcox is chairman andt
H. W. Kruckeberg, secretary, in conjunction with the*
executive committee of the State Association, will con-
stitute the working organization of the undertaking. The
organization is now devising the rules and regulations
to govern the exhibition, cash awards and special pre-
miums, and such other preliminaries as occa^sion may
demand. In due time its literature will be read}' for
mailing to the trade and intending exhibitors. W. H. K.

An Epoch Making Event

The eleventh annual convention of the California As-
sociation of Nurserymen will be held in Exposition Park,
Los Angeles, Oct. 30, 31, 32 and 33, on which occasion
the association will put on a State flower and horticul-
tural exhibition that promises to be just a little the best
thing that has ever been attempted in the way of an
exposition of California's horticultural resources and
possibilities. In this laudable ambition the association
has secured the cooperation of the citizens of Los An-
geles city arid county in the way of financial assistance
which ensures the success of the undertaking. It is
estimated that the cost of putting on this exhibition will
run in the neighborhood of twenty thousand dollars. As
already announced in these columns the Pasadena So-
ciety has waived its Fall fixture for this year, merging
it with the greater effort of the California Association
of Nurserymen, which is to consist of a comprehensive
display of economic and horticultural products under
cover, and a great exhibit of flowering and ornamental
plants in open garden effects.

The Sunken Garden

This area, consisting of about seven acres of ground,
admirably situated in the center of Exposition Park,
faced by the armory, and exhibition buildings and the
Art Museum, will be planted solid to flowering and
ornamental foliage plants, work on which is now in
progress under the direction of O. W. Howard and the
Los Angeles Park Commission. These plantings will
be so timed as to be in full bloom during the period of
the convention. The Dahlia, Chrysanthemum, Rose, an-
nual and perennial plant exhibits promise to furnish a
blaze of color never equaled in effect. In addition there
will be interspersed handsome groupings of rare shrubs
and trees, both ornamental and economic. Space in the
open ground is free, and California plantsmen wanting
to avail themselves of this opportunity to show rare
varieties and perfectly grown specimens should make
reservations at once, as time is limited for securing
good grownng effects Ijy next October. Already there
is a promise of five thousand Dahlias from the State
Association, a large and comprehensive display of Chrj's-
anthemums and Roses, and certainly a representative
planting of rare shrubs and trees. Allowing for the
fact that the State Nurserymen's Association in its per-

sonnel represents fully 75 per cent of the annual output
of commercial plants and flowers in this State, it is
obvious that this exhibition will be out of the ordinary
and one of the largest ever staged in America.

The Under Cover Show

In addition to the outdoor garden, which of itself will
constitute an exhibition of plant life, there will be an
indoor exhibition literally covering all ornamental and
economic horticultural products in California. The nur-
sery, seed, florist, orchard and vineyard products will
here find an exemplification that will not only typify our
basic industries by reason of extent, quality and variety ;
but prove an object lesson in horticultural development
and possibilities surprising even to the oldest inhabitant.
This portion of the exhibition will be arranged along
technical lines, all exhibits to be properly labeled and
classified and shown on a uniform plan, thus giving it
an educational value of rare merit. Exhibits are already
promised from all sections of the State.

The Active Committees

In order to get the several divisions of so large an
undertaking into effective action the following com-
mittees have been appointed, all of which are now in
active operation :

Fred H. Howard, Finance, Ninth and Olive sts., Los
Angeles.

Export Figures Lower, Both Prices and Volume

If anyone tries to tell you a tale of woe about the
falling off of exports from the United States, don't let
it scare you into thinking the bottom has fallen out of
that aspect of our international trade. The National
City Bank of New York explains that just as import
statistics have decreased because of lower prices for
commodities, so export totals have been more seriously
affected by this factor than by a reduction in volume of'
trade.

Many of the items exported during February, for
instance, went at less than half as much per unit as the.
same goods brought a few months before. Striking.r
comparative figures are 17 and 37 cents a pound fort
Cotton, $8.37 and $13.23 per barrel for flour, and SocM
and $1.96 for Corn. ''

At the same time some materials have recently been;
exported in greatly lessened quantities, such as passenger
automobiles (3,205 this year, 10,377 last year) ; Raisins,'
471,000 pounds as against 6,607,000; and prunes, l,772,-i
000 pounds as against 16,146,000.

These changes represent, of course, natural tenden-
cies in these times of reconstruction and readjustment;
they also emphasize the necessity of continued thrift
and efficiency to the end that goods may be produced
at minimum cost and offered at prices that will stimu-
late, not stifle our foreign trade relations.

Rubber Plants to Slay Shut. — Headline.
This is bad news for Brooklyn. — Sun Dial, N. Y. Sun,
In explanation, where necessary. — For decades past the local
newspaper wits of N. Y. City have characterized Brooklyn as
the home of babies and Rubber plants, every house sporting
one or more Rubbers on its stoop during the open season.

Costly Words. — "I'll give that waiter an order that will
simply paralyze him," said a customer to a friend in a quick-
lunch restaurant. "What will you have, sir?" presently asked
the waiter. "Bring me," said the would-be tormentor, "some
verulam and ova." "Yessir." And the waiter, a seedy-looking
man, went away with a twinkle in his eye, and returned with

a large plate of something hot. "Here y'are," he said

"Eggs and bacon. In ordinary English a shilling, but in classic
form, three shillings and sispence. Verba rebus aptare, as we
used to say at college. Anything else, sir ?" — Tit-Bits. — P.

The Market

May 3. — ^Notwithstanding the fact
that next Sunday, May S, is Mother's
Day, there is no increase in the arrivals
of flowers in the wholesale cut flower
market, nor increase in the prices of these
except in the case of white Carnations.
The demand has not noticeably increased,
but it is hardly to be expected at this
date.

American Beauty Roses are in rather
large supply and are meeting with only
a moderate demand. Special grade blooms
are selling at 25c. to 50c. each, but some
extra choice selections are bringing 60c.
and even higher prices in small lots. Sales
above 50c. are exceptional. Other grades
are selling at proportionate prices. In
other Roses, the present supply is below
medimn and the demand limited; the gen-
eral range of prices for top grade blooms
is from 5c. each for the old-time Killar-
neys, up to 25c. for Premier and Cru-
sader, 35c. for Hadley and 50c. for Key.
No. 2 grade blooms show somewhat
weaker prices, the range being from $2
to S4 per 100.

The supply of Carnations is limited;
select grade bloms are selling at $6 to $8
per 100, the higher price being for choice
whites. Culls to ordinaries are selling at
$2 to $4 per 100.

There is an increasing supply of Cat-
tleyas which are moving moderately well
at 25c. to 75c. and occasionally $1 each.
The varieties now arriving are Gaskeli-
ana, Mossias, Gigas and a few hybrids.
The supply of Gardenias appears to be
much smaller, but last week's prices are
unchanged. Lily of the Valley is in large
supply, which the demand is not absorb-
ing and prices are falling off sharply ,the
range being from gl to i^i and occasion-
ally $5 per 100. The moderate supply of
Lilies is meeting with a fair demand at
$15 to $20 per 100.

The smaller arrivals of Callas are mov-
ing out slowly at 75c. to $2.50 per doz.
A moderate supply of Spanish Iris is
realizing $1 to $3 per bunch. The season
for Narcissus is about over, except for
the variety Poeticus, which is selling at

51 to $2 per 100. The arrivals of out-
door grown Darwin Tulips are not large,
but increasing; prices range from 50c. to
75c per bunch.

The moderate supply of Antirrhinum
is realizing slightly better prices, namely,
50c. to $1.50 per bunch. Outdoor Lilac is
in medium supply, and the quality is
much better than that of the earlier ar-
rivals; it is selling at 25c. to $1 per
bunch, the higher prices being for choice
doubles whites. A small supply of choice
Delphinium is selling at $1 to $3 per
bunch. The arrivals of Sweet Peas are
large and the going price now is 25c to

52 per 100; there is plenty to spare after
the day's sales are done.

As regards greens, there is an abun-
dance of everything, except of Smilax,
whicii continues to be in short supply and
is selling at $3 to $4 per doz strings.

Florists Club Meeting

The next regular meeting of the
Florists Club will be held on Monday,
May 9, at 7.30 p.m,, at the Engineering
Societies Building, 25 to 33 W. 39th st.

Bring Your Exhibits

President I. S. Hendrickson has
designated this meeting on Monday, May
9, as New Jersey night and requests all
members from New Jersey to do their
be-st and arrange to attend this meeting,
at tlie same time to bring with them or
send in whatever exhibits they can in
the way of well grown cut flowers or pot
plants. Novelties especially are desired.
The Exhibition Committee will give its

careful attention to staging all exhibits.
These should be sent to I. A. Fight, care
of Roman J. Irwin, Wholesale Flower
Market, 43 W. 18th st., to arrive no later
than 5 p.m. on Monday, May 9, so that
they may be properly arranged for ex-
hibition purposes.

Any out of town growers who might
decide at any time to show any plants or
flowers can always send them to the above
address on any meeting date of the New
York Florists Club and they will certain-
ly have careful attention of the Exhibi-
tion Committee.

Special Nights

In keeping with the recommenda-
tion of President Hendrickson, there will
be a series of special nights to induce, if
possible, a larger membership in the near-
by territory. The meeting of May 9, as
previously mentioned is New Jersey night
and the committee, which President Hen-
drickson appointed at the last meeting
of the club, consisted of Jos. Manda, A. M.
Henshaw, Arthur Herrington, Wm. C.
Duckham, Julius Roehrs, Fred L. Atkins,
J. H. Fiesser, Philip Cox and Edward
Sceery, all Jerseyites, are expected to see
to it that there is a large attendance of
their fellow Jerseyites at this meeting.

The Essay and Lecture Conmiittee is
negotiating with the New Jersey State
Chamber of Commerce, and hopes to have
the services of one of that body in the
capacity of speaker for New Jersey Night.

S. A. P. Membership Drive and
Convention

A. L. Miller of the S. A. F. Com-
mittee and the Committee of the New
York Florists Club are anxious to make
the best possible showing of new mem-
bers of the S. A. F. and are putting forth
active endeavors to make the list of new
members as large as possible and they
will appreciate fully any help given them
in this S. A. F. membership drive.

The 37th Annual Meeting and Trade Ex-
hibition of this society will be held in
Washington, D. C, August 16, 17 and 18.
Beyond doubt, this will be the banner
convention in the history of the S. A. F.,
and there will be a record breaking at-
tendance. Application has already been
made to the Trunk Line Association for
a reduced rate for a round trip on the
certificate plan.

House and Entertainment Com-
mittee

It will hardly need to be announced
that the able House and Entertainment
Committee of the club will provide the
usual refreshments at the meeting of the
club on May 9.

A. F. T. A. of N. Y. Advertising
Campaign

The Allied Florists Trade Asso-
ciation is making progress in its ad-
vertising campaign. A. M. Henshaw,
president of the association, reports that
advertisements will appear in New York
and Brooklyn papers on Thursday and Fri-
day, showing an adaptation of the Moth-
er's Day poster with appropriate copy.

It is hoped that all retailers will show
their appreciation of the work done and
their belief in advertising by cheerfully
paying the one-half of one per cent, asked
for on statements sent out May 1. Some
wholesalers report quite satisfactory
progress in their collections from cash
customers. Funds forthcoming from this
percentage plan, together with additional
contributions coming from growers, which
F. R. Pierson, president. New York Flow-
er Growers Association promises, should
enable the Advertising Committee to carry
on a progressive campaign. In the place
of the criticism of New York retail flo-
rists, which appeared in New York papers
previous to last Mother's Day, the press
this year is showing a very different atti-

General Nevs

On the initial trip of a passenger-
carrying airplane from New York to Chi-
cago, a message "Saying it with Flowers"
will be carried from Mayor John F. Hy-
lan of New York to William Hale Thomp-
son, the mayor of Chicago. The plane left
Mineola at 6.30 a.m. May 4. Geo. Asmus
of the National Publicity Committee made
this fine piece of publicity for "Saying it
with Flowers" possible. Chas. Schenck of
New York saw to the arrangement being
made with Mayor John F. Hylan. The
pilot, Ralph Diggins, very kindly offered
to take care of the message and the box
of flowers for the A. F. T. A. of N. Y.
We greatly regret that it is our sad
duty to report the death of Mrs. May
Fort Rigby, wife of Percy Bentley Rigby,
vice-president of the S. S. Pennock Co.,
and manager of the New York branch of
this company. Mrs. Rigby, who had been
seriously ill for several weeks, passed
away on Monday night at her residence,
46 W. 85th St., New York City. The
funeral services were held in the St.
Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church at
86th St. and West End ave. on Wednes-
day at 3 p.m. Mr. Rigby will have the
profound sympathy of the entire trade
in this his great bereavement.

The A. F. T. A. of N. Y. placed Moth-
er's Day advertisements on Thursday
morning of this week in the New York
Herald and New York Triiime and on
Thursday afternoon in the New York
Globe and the New York Evening Post,
and on Friday morning in the New York
Times and World, and on Friday evening,
in the Brooklyn Eagle and New York
Evening Sun. Beyond a doubt this liberal
advertising will increase greatly the sales
of the retail florists for Mother's Day.

When calling at the Henshaw Floral
Co, this week we noticed that it was just
receiving in its florists supply department
a new line of unusually pretty florists bas-
kets. These were made of a combination
of grass and wicker and colored in gold
and green. They were made in a variety
of shapes, some with and some without
handles.

Calling on S. C. Gilbert, the Traveling
Florist, recently, to make some inquiries
about the conditions of the orchid mar-
ket, we were shown a large number of
fine blooms of Cattleya Mossire of which
Mr. Gilbert is receiving a steady supply.
Well grown Delphinium belladonna is
always one of the most attractive of blue
flowers coming into the market; we saw
some fine blooms of this flower this week
and also of double white Lilac at I. Gold-
stein's.

Dr. N. L. Britton, director in chief of
the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx
Park, has returned from Trinidad,
British West Indies, after a two months'
trip, undertaken to supplement the ob-
servations and collections made in Trini-
dad a year ago. He reports the collec-
tion of many interesting specimens, aggre-
gating more than 1500 numbers, making
at least 6000 specimens as an average of
four of each was taken.

James Reddy, the oldest florist in
Greenpoint, Brooklyn, has removed from
Manhattan ave., next to the Greenpoint
Theatre, to the larger store on the north
side of Calyer st., one door from Man-
hattan ave. Mr. Reddy is one of the
longest established merchants in Green-
point, and has an enviable reputation for
fair dealing and honest value giving.

The old 37th street police station,
known as Hell's Kitchen, situated at 434
W. 37th St., next door to the Underbill
Building, which houses The Florists' Ex-
change and which was vacated by the
policemen a few weeks ago, was formally
taken over on Tuesday of this week and i
opened as the city's first "Women's Pre-
cinct" Home. It is planned to center here
all the welfare work of the women police
of this city. At the formal opening of
the institution, which took place at the
above mentioned date, many social service
workers and city officials and their wives
were present to extend congratulations to ■
the new director of the Women's Police ■
Squad, Mrs. Mary E. Hamilton. Among
those who were present and spoke on this
occasion was Mayor John F. Hylan. That
which particularly interested The Flo-
rists' Exchange in the opening of this
"Women's Precinct" home was that the
women began at once to "Say it with ;
Flowers." On all the ledges of the win-
dows of their home, which, by the way,
are neatly furnished with white curtains,
they caused to be placed boxes very taste-
fully filled with red Geraniums in full
bloom and with English Iyj. This work
was well done and gives a very attractive
appearance to this former old time police
station which is said to have housed more
murderers than any other police station
in the city. Truly, time works great
changes; not only in men and women, but
in the use and appearance of buildings.
We might add that the inside of this
home has been made very attractive by
American and police flags, wicker cages
in which canary birds are singing, rugs,
library tables, magazines and photographa
of city ofiicials hanging on the walls.

Among the recent callers in town were
Mr. Gallivan of A. L. Randall & Co., Chi-
cago, 111.; and Major P. F. O'Keefe oi
Boston, Mass.

Lancaster, Pa.

April 30. — Retail trade continues with
a slightly rising angle on the season's busi-
ness chart, and with the gradual elimina-
tion of the unemployment situation, the
outlook is not half bad for the retail
flower business in Lancaster.

There is not quite the lavish display of
flowers at the funerals of people of mod-
erate means that there was a few years
back, but there is an increase in the use
of flowers and decorations at other func-
tions that keep up the balance of trade.

The weather has not been propitious for
flower sales the past few days, with its
continued rain and an unesasonable stop-
page of the mercury in our thermometers
at about 45. All the feeble attempts at
bedding have been stopped for the time
being.

Porch boxes and porch decorations are
beginning to appear and the next ten days
ought to mean a lot of business along this
line of work, if our people who cater to
the retail trade are on the job and, on
the job they must be, for there is no de-
nying the fact that it is considerably

harder to get a dollar transferred from
the other fellow's pocket into your own now
than it was twelve months ago. Perhaps
for the good of the trade and yourself in
particular, you will want to give the cus-
tomer a little better value for his money
than you did twelve months ago, and if
you are wise, you will give it in satisfac-
tion with first quality stock and first
quality work rather than in a negligible
price reduction.

The shrubbery and outdoor flowers are
not in their usual gorgeous show at this
date, many of them producing no flowers,
others, from one-half to one-third of their
usual crop and many of these of poor
quality, but in spite of all this, the B. F.
Barr Co. are working almost day and
night filling orders for hardy stock.

Our mail order seed houses have been
working double capacity for some time
and their mail is measured by the ton,
truckload after truckload going out all
day long.

The Market

May 3. — There has been a general
reduction in the supply of stock coming
in during the past week until the mar-
ket has, at present, assumed a remark-
ably tightened condition; too tight to
suit either the buyers or the sellers. It
is one of those unhappy conditions, that
invariably come at -the wrong time. A
week of cold and sunless weather is re-
sponsible for the present limited supply.
Roses and Carnations have passed the
high mark of the season's supply, and the
Peony crop that promised so well a month
ago for the Mother's Day trade, has been
retarded by unfavorable weather. All
crops, both indoor and out, are in such
a stage of advancement that a couple of
days of bright sunshine would produce
results that would add remarkably to the
supply for the closing days of the week,
when it is anticipated the demand will
be unusually heavy. Prices have advanced
considerably; all price lists sent out for
the present week show nearly an advance
of 50 per cent over prices of two weeks
ago. There are those that bewail the
fact that Mother's Day did not come three
weeks ago when the market was over-
supplied, or that some inscrutable destiny
could not be prevailed on to have these
periods of great oversupply come at a time
when willing purchasers of flowers come
from all ranks of society. There is, how-
ever, no use to cry over "spilt milk." The
merchandizing of cut flowers is beset with
many knotty problems; it always has been
so, and always will; still it is a wonder-
fully fascinating old game after all, to
those that have given it their full con-
sideration and made it their life's study.

All indications point for a heavy de-
mand for Mother's Day. There are many
advance orders on the books of all the
wholesalers and are still coming in. Some
are afraid to book more as the time is
getting short. Monday and Tuesday of
the present week were extremely cold and
sunless days and give but little hope of
an increased supply.

Roses are short in supply, all dealers
holding firmly to prices as issued for the
time being. It is a problem of just how
the supply will measure up with the de-
mand by the close of the week.

Carnations have also gone off crop leav-
ing but a moderate supply to meet an im-
moderate demand. This, too, on an oc-
casion when Carnations are more in de-
mand than any other day in the year. Or-
ders have been booked at from $8 to $12
per 100 and as high as $15 for fancy
stock.

There have been some Peonies on the
market for the past ten days and the
hopes of the buyers were revived by the
promise of a large supply for this week.
The supply is coming mainly from Tennes-
see and Missouri where the crops are

limited. It was hoped favorable weather
would bring in the down state crops, but
this hope is pretty well abandoned by this
time. Some dealers have bought crops out-
right, other dealers disliked to take the
chance. While there will be a fair sup-
ply the probability is there will not
be enough. The prices range from $10
to $18 per 100.

Outside of Peonies, Koses and Carna-
tions, there will not be very much of
anything. There is, of course, a fair sup-
ply of Lilies and Valley. Orchids are re-
garded to be in supply ample for the occa-
sion. Sweet Peas are much in demand
with no more than a moderate supply.
There are a good many Darwin Tulips
and some really fine Snapdragons. There
is a good deal of Statice at from $1.50
to $2 a bunch. There are some Ten Week
Stock, Candytuft, Pansiea and Daisies.
The big shipping begins Wednesday to
long distance points. Thursday and Fri-
day to points closer to the market. Satur-
day will be the great day for local buy-
ing. There is great expectancy on the
part of both buyers and sellers for the
closing days of the week. The weather
conditions will have much to do with the
final wind up. Warm weather for quan-
tity. Cool weather for quality and favor-
able shipping conditions. Which shall it be ?

Neips Notes

News of the financial difficulties of
Grossberg & Cahill, Akron, Ohio, reached
the Chicago market Monday. There are
many creditors here to whom this came as
quite a surprise.

John Elzinga, representing the National
Bulb Co., Benton Harbor, Mich., was in
the city Saturday on his return from Pitts-
burgh, Pa., and other points in that sec-
tion of the country. He is on his way
to Minneapolis and St. Paul. He travels
entirely by automobile. He reports 40
acres of Holland bulbs growing on the
farms of his company at Benton Harbor.
The stock grown is chiefly Narcissus.

Hugo Rudolph, Manitowoc, Wis., was in
the city Monday when he placed his or-
der for French and Holland bulbs. He
says the florists in his city are having an
unusually good season, and are quite op-
timistic regarding future business.

Tim Waters, superintendent of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co. supply department,
is putting out some very attractive sub-
stitutes for Boxwood trees in pyramid
form. These are made of green Ruscus,
the modus operandi to take a stick or
pole and wind on tightly a sufficient
amount of excelsior in pyramid form giv-
ing a nice taper toward the top. Into
this piece of Ruscus is stuck until an at-
tractive pyramid is formed. Sufficient of
the pole is left below the Ruscus line to
be placed into a plant tub and securely
fastened by nailing through the bottom
and bracing on the sides. The space be-
tween is filled with excelsior and the top of
the tub covered with green sheet moss. These
are to be seen in many places around the

city in flower shops, restaurants, hotels,
and from their lasting and well nigh in-
destructible qualities, are destined to be-
come quite popular.

Hans Jepsen, the noted Sweet Pea
grower of Maywood, reports great succeas'
in the marketing of his products. On
April 25 he disposed of over 35,000 with
not less than 20in. stems. The varieties
grown includes Zvolanek's Rose and Blue
and Orange" Beauty, Blue Bird, Cherry
Ripe, Snowflake and Hercules. ;

Zech & Mann are booking large orders
for Mother's Day. Their shippers assure
them of a large supply of Peonies. Fancy
Snapdragons, some with three foot stems,
have been a feature with this house for
some weeks past. j

Hilmer V. Swenson is preparing for ai
trip to the Pacific Coast in the interest!!
of the Florists Publicity Bureau. It iii
proposed to make this trip with J. F. Am-
mann, who has been invited by the grow-'
ers on the Pacific Coast to go and as-
sist in the inauguration of permanent or-
ganizations of growers at various point«i
along the Coast. Frank M. Sutter of the
Swenson organization is about to starti
on a business trip through the Eastern
states in the interest of the Publicity Bu-i
reau.

There is a good demand for tickets
for the Florists Club entertainment at t}fflj
Hotel Randolph, Thursday evening, whaB
the students of the University will pfl
on their popular play, "The Flower ShopH
The A. L. Randall Co. have furnished tffl
complete store equipment for this oc{n
sion. There will be a short business meeS
ing followed by a dance. ■

The Allied Florists Association of Hlifl
ois will spend $2000 this week for Moti9
er's Day advertising. Most of it w^
go into the papers May 6 and 7, but^
part of the appropriation is to be used
to supply an attractive envelope stuffer
which the Western Union has offered to
enclose with each telegram delivered this
week.

H. B. Kennicott and wife are motoring
home from Florida and expect to reach
the city this week. In the meantime, Joe
E. Pollworth is keeping the customers of
the house informed from day to day of
prices and conditions on the market
through the medium of wholesale market
letters.

Albert Koch, superintendent of the con-
servatories and greenhouses at Garfield
Park, has a wonderful display of Calce-
olarias in one of the large show houses..
They are well gro^vn stocky plants and
arranged in a color scheme from bright
yellow through other intervening shades to
rich deep bronze. The seed of these is
produced each season in the park green-
houses and cannot be well had through
commercial growers. A large bank of the
violet-blue Saintpaulia is quite attractive
being a plant but little seen in commer
cial collections. There is also a good dis-
play of hybrid Amaryllis.

"JAY EM" Says:

CHICAGO'S TRANSPORTATION
SUPREMACY

Traina more frequent than one a minute;
steamers more often than one an hour; the
oldest commercial aerial express — all these
eerve to make travel to and from Chicago's
portals as convenient and expeditious as
by the famous Carpet of Bagdad.

Chicago is the railroad center of America.
One-third of the railway mileage of the
world converges here, daUy bringing into
the city on 1500 trains an average of
192,000 visitors, millions of dollars in com-
mercial products, and affording an outlet
for the city's vast manufactures. Belt line
railroads with 1400 miles of track interlink
the city's industries and connect them with
one hundred freight yards and thousands
of shipping points on the outside. Sixty
miles of freight subways honeycomb the
loop streets.

The transportation supremacy of Chicago
has aided more than any other feature of
the city to develop the wholesale cut
flower market. There is hardly a train
leaving the city daily towards any point
of the compass, that does not carry more
or less cut flower shipments. Telegraph
messenger boys can be counted by the
dozen 'most any day around the wholesale
market delivering telegrams. "When the
market is well supplied, there are occasions
when telegrams are sent by the hundreds
daily by leading dealera to customers on
the outside, giving market conditions and
quoting special offers to buyers at points
within a radius of 500 miles and in every
direction, from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico, and the Alleghany Mountains on
the eaat. to the Rocky Mountains on the
west.

THe Market

May 3. — ^Very little change has
taken place in the market since a week
ago. The weather kept fair and cool,
■with two days of soaking rains in be-
tween, somewhat holding back the output
of flowers. Business has gone on at a
normal gait with stock cleaning up well
every day. So far, no other than the
regular assortment of flowers is offered
■with the exception of a few additional
colors in Irises, of which there are now
to be had blue, white, yellow and brown.
The supply is still small and the price
^3 a doz.

Few American Beauty Roses are com-
■ing in and only in specials which bring
not more than 35c.; other Koses have,,
within the last two days, had a tendency
to accumulate. The price has weakened
a little as against a few days ago, but
not much stock over 24in. is offered.

Carnations are not too plentiful and
have held at about 6c. for best ordinary
stock. The quality in all varieties is go-
ing back fast, and some rather poor flow-
ers can be seen selling for little money.

White Lilies -and Callas are selling a
little higher; less Callas coming at
present.

Sweet Peas have gone to "pot" com-
pletely these last few days, the few that
are offered are almost imsalable on ac-
count of poor quality, the result of the
rainy spells. The supply of minor kinds
of flowers keeps up as usual and prices

have not changed. Orchids, Lily of the
Valley, Gardenias and Greens of all kinds
are unchanged also, with a normal de-
mand.

The retail stores are busy getting ready
for Memorial Day.

Nexps Notes

"Ned" Welch, universally known
and deservedly popular among florists of
Boston, is now the designer at the Pem-
berton Square Florist, establishment of
the late Harry Kelly. Mrs. Kelly is man-
aging the busines of her deceased husband
and is able to report a most satisfactory
trade. The store is situated in the liveli-
est quarter of the inner city, right close
to the courthouse and near big banking
institutions and subway stations.

Archie Murray, who has many friends
among the Rose growers and florists of
this section, has sailed for his home in
Scotland, to "visit his brother and sister
whom he has not seen for many years, on
Thursday, April 28. His brother is one
of the most prominent growers of fruit
and nursery stock in Scotland. Archie
was head of the Rose growing department
at the Waban Rose Conservatories at
Natick for 27 years before he took his
present position in like capacity with
JPeirce Bros, in Waltham.

The plantings and decorations, executed
by Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., at the booths
of the Home Beautiful Exposition, in
Mechanics Hall, April 16 to 30, have at-
tracted a good deal of favorable comment,
and accounts, descriptions and photo-
graphs of the same have appeared in all
the daily and Sunday papers. The interior
decorations of tables, mantelpieces, etc.,
were frequently changed and many novel
and imique effects were produced to give

home lovers ideas of how to employ flow-
ers for beautifying the home.

The axhibitiou of native orchids of New
Englar.d, which was scheduled for Satur-
day arid Sunday, April 23 and 24, proved
such a wonderful attraction that the show
had to be prolonged for three days, clos-
ing Wednesday evening. On Sunday
alone more than 6000 visitors attended
the exhibition, and altogether more than
20,000 persons enjoyed the remarkable
and novel display. No exhibition pre-
viously held in the hall has met with such
imiversal appreciation or has offered
greater opportunities for interesting ob-
servations and studies. To Mr. Burrage,
who was the moving spirit of the exhibi-
tion, who planned it and to whose gen-
erosity its elaborate arrangements are
due, the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety and the city of Boston must feel
deeply indebted.

Moe Leibman, at the Flower Exchange
Market, is receiving some extra fine blue
Irises from Oswald Ralph, South Wey-
mouth, Mass. C. H. Rice of Lexington
is sending in the- first Peach Blossom
Gladioli of the season. C. B. Johnson of
Woburn is shipping finely grown Laddie
Carnations, and A. Sorenson of Marlboro,
Mass., sends him blue Irises and Snap-
dragons of A-1 quality. With the prod-
ucts of these and a number of other con-
signors, Moe has no trouble in satisfying
the wants of the most discriminate buyers.

Elijah Gorney is taking much pleasure,
these balmy Spring evenings, in breaking
in his new Dodge car. He is said to have
chosen this make of a car because it will,
of its own accord, dodge telegraph poles,
silent policemen and other nuisances and
impedimenta.

Edward Welch, son of Patrick Welch,
who has been with the firm of Welch
Bros' Co. for the last four years, is now
connected with a firm in the automobile
business. Ed's familiar smile and con-
tagious laugh will be massed in his former
abode but will help him along wherever
he may be. A smile, a laugh and the hat
cocked a wee bit to one side will clear the
road for this young man.

Joe Margolis of H. M. Robinson & Co.,
Inc., is gaming fast, after an illness of
two weeks' duration. On Saturday, April
30, his large circle of friends surprised
him with a wonderful basket of fruit and
flowers.

Bernard McGinty, at the Co-operative
Market, is receiving good consignments
of exceptionally fine Russell, Premier,
Prima Donna, Pilgrim and White Kil-
larney Roses from the Quidnick Green-
houses at Providence, R. I.

Fruit from Holy I^and

Quite a stir was created in Boston,
among the fruit dealers, when 2000 case
of Oranges arrived from Palestine, just
a few days before and in time for the
Jewish "Passover" holidays. These
Oranges, and also a consignment of
Lemons, are the first shipment from the
plantations of the American Fruit Grow-
ers of Palestine, a corporation which was
formed about a year ago by a number of
Boston and Providence florists of Jewish
extraction. Nathan Fishelson, the Copley
florist, of Boston, and Robert K-oppehnan,
of Providence, are among the first officers
and organisers of the corporation. The
company is chartered under Massachusetts
laws, with a capital of §2,000,000. The
ofB.ces are at 13 to 21 Park Row, New
York, 113 State St., Boston; other offices
are in Chicago, Philadelphia and Provi-
dence. The large distribution and ship-
ping office is in Jaffa, Palestine. Ail the
material and machinery needed for the
building and installation of the huge con-
cern was shipped from America last
Summer and was under the supervision
of Nathan Fishelson and Michael Fein-
stein, both of whom are shortly expected
to arrive again in this country on the
steamer La Lorraine.

The shipment just arrived is the first
to reach here from Palestine within the
last nine years, and the first one packed
exclusively by Americans and with Ameri-
can machinery. The fruit arrived in first
class order after a journey of 4500 miles.
It is of fine appearance; very luscious
and sweet. Besides the United States,
England and Constantinople are good
customers. The products of the corpora-
tion. Oranges, Lemons, Almonds, table
Grapes and Raisins, are grown near Je-
rusalem, Jaffa, etc., by members of the
Judean colonies, consisting of Jewish
fanners. The plantations are irrigated by
a system of artesian wells, and modem
motors are employed for pumping where

The "Waliaii Rose Conservatories^*

The announcement of the auctioo
sale, at the receivers' hands, on May I
of the Waban Rose Conservatories, a
Natick, Mass., has awakened interest an
old memories in the hearts of many ol
and middle aged Rose growers and fl<
rists all over the country.

The story of the conservatories goe
away back to 1870, when Rose growin
in this coim,try was yet in the in fan
stage. Many of the old-time Rose grower
received their schooling at Waban, eithe
under Mr. Wood, the old Alesande
Montgomery or under his son, considere
the best Rose growers of that time. Tb
conservatories were universally called th
college of Rose growing in AJmerica, an
turned out more good growers than an
other place that could be named.

It was at about the year 1870 thai
Edmund M. Wood, who was engaged xj
the paint and oil business, took an intc
est in Roses. From a small beginnings
small houses started the present rangei
over 20 houses with 160,000ft. of glfl
The old Marechal Niel, Niphetos, B
Silence, etc., were first grown and mod
shipped to Philadelphia. Patrick Wd
joined the concern as salesman in 18"
and had charge of the Philadelphia
for several years. In a short while ,
wholesale office was opened in Boston, o
the 10th floor of the just complete
Equitable Building, with W. J. Stewar
in charge. At about the same time,
retail store was added in New York an
a whole floor on Tremont St., Bostoi
where N. F. McCarthy looked after tl

Iso. Wm. H. ElUottt, Willy Maloy and
'■ir. Gilson were in charge of some of
hese stores.

, During all this time, greenhouse after
reenhouse was built at Natick, George
loore being the superintendent and H.
[ammer the grower at first. Then came
). Barry, Captain Hart and Archie Mur-
ay, all good growers.
The conservatories started on their rise
~j fame when Alexander Montgomery
-as first engaged by Mr. Wood. Mr.
lontgomery was a private gardener and
■as the first man to disbud Roses. Mr.
V^ood saw his wonderful flowers at the
shibitions in Horticultural Hall and en-
!aged Mr. Montgomery at a, for those
umes, extra large salary. The choice was
I happy one, for under the guidance of
Ir. Montgomery the business and fame of
'iie Waban Rose Conservatories increased
rom year to year. Mr. Montgomery de-

voted much thought and energy to the
creation of new varieties, and his labors
in hybridizing resulted in putting on the
market a number of valuable new ac-
quisitions, of which Russell is one of the
latest.

In or about 1903 the big 950ft. house
was built, it being at that time the long-
est greenhouse in the country, creating a
great deal of attention. After Mr. Mont-
gomery's departure, the heirs of Mr.
Wood became entangled in legal struggles
and the present sale is the result.

Color Photographs of Plants in
Arnold Arboretnm

A free illustrated lecture was given
by Loring Underwood in the lecture room
of Horticultural Hall on Saturday, April
30.

It is utterly impossible to do justice to
the beauty of the pictures shown. These
pictures, of which there are a great nimi-
ber, are all direct color photographs re-
produced on the screen, and give the true
color of many hundreds of interesting
plants found in the Arnold Arboretum.
AH have been taken and made by Mr.
Underwood himself. The slides are little
short of photographic marvels; they regis-
ter every color, even the most delicate
shades, and the lecture was a rare oppor-
tunity to be informed of the work and
achievements of the famous institution.
The exhibition showed Mr. Underwood
to be a past master, not only of the ex-
ceedingly difficult work in natural color
photography, but also in the just
as difficult matter of selecting his
subjects at the right moment and present-
ing them from the most favorable angle,

so as to show off to the greatest advan-
tage against the proper background. Art
and the landscape painter will have to
step in the backgroimd when some of Mr.
Underwood's pictures come into view, for
here is your landscape just as the Lord
made it; each twig, leaf and flower; each
spear of grass, each rock, stone and each
cloud overhead as natural as posible. The
haze of the hot afternoon in the woods,
or the cold atmosphere of the early Win-
ter morning, permeate and overlay the
bits of scenery and heighten or subdue
tlie coloring of everything in perfect re-
lation and accord.

While explaining the nature of each
subject, Mr. Underwood wove into his
narrative interesting bits of information
dealing with the discovery, history and
use in the garden or other planting of
each. The start, development and sub-
sequent history and doings of the Arnold
Arooretum were also frequently touched
non so that the lecture formed a most
pleasing and instructive theme. The
large lecture room was filled to its utmost
limits.

Philadelphia, Pa.

The Market

May 3. — The week past was a quiet
one with a fairly good supply of flowers.
The supply of Roses was heavy, but they
moved slowly. The supply embraces all
the varieties, including Beauty, Premier,
Col\mabia, Maryland, Pilgrim, Hadley,
Ophelia, Ward, Butterfly, Russell, Dun-
lop, Crusader and double White and Pink
Killarney, truly a splendid list to choose
from. The arrivals of Sweet Peas are
very large and fully 50 per cent of these
are poor, with the balance 25 per cent
choice select; the rest only fair class
stock. Carnations are flrming up with the
approach of Mother's Day, with a de-
clining supply. There is a good supply
of outdoor Valley which is selling well.
Snapdragon is plentiful and it meets with
a good demand at a medium price. South-
ern Peonies are on the market; orchids
are moving quietly. Lupins, Iris and out-
door Larkspurs are all to be had. Callas
have firmed with a declining supply. Gyp-
sophila is now available.

Club Notes

The May meeting of the Philadel-
phia Florists CKib, held Tuesday evening.
May 3, was a very successful affair, with
J. Otto Thilow as the lecturer of the
evening. Mr. Thilow's talk was on Porto
Rico, in which he showed some beautiful
colored views of the island, its plants and
vegetation, historic spots of interest, its
people, life and industries, including some
interesting pictures of Robert Craig on
his farm at San Juan. Mr. Thilow's talk
was highly interesting and entertaining
and was thoroughly enjoyed by an audi-
ence that overflowed the lecture room in
the City Club. Refreshments were served
following the meeting.

Bluefield. W. Va.— The Alexander Cut
Flower and Plant Co., which for several
years has been under the management of

Just a glimpse at Movilla Gardens, Haverford, Pa., where James J. Boyd
raises his gold-medal-winning Peonies

James Boyd Tells You

How to Get Gold Medal Peonies

In Abundance

Wish everyone of you
growers could talk to James
Boyd himself. Talk to him,
while you walked with him
through Movilla Gardens at
Haverford, Pa., w^here he
raises his Peonies.

If you could get first hand
facts from him about what
his Skinner System of water-
ing does for his Peonies, Glad-
ioli and other flowers, reckon
you w^ould be so altogether
convinced of the absolute
necessity of your putting in
at least one 100-foot Portable
Line, that we wouldn't have
enough lines to supply all you
growers.

Of great importance is the
way the Skinner System will
help you bring your Peonies
in bloom on time for Decora-
tion Day. If they come along

a few days late, you know
they are worth next to noth-
ing. If they come ahead of
time, they can be easily held
back in the ice box.

The really funny part of
the whole thing to under-
stand is, that growers will
pray for rain, when they could
simply pay for it once, and
always have it. Have it ever
afterward exactly when and
where they wanted, if they
had the Skinner System Port-
able or fixed lines.

If you haven't it, must be
you kind of don't like to
bother to write. Don't blame
you a bit. Then don't write
us, just give us the length and
VLfidth of the piece of ground
you want to irrigate and we
will send you some interesting
facts.

FRITZ BAHR'S WRINKLES

Don't overlook the Stevias: you will
want them next Winter ; plenty of
time for either root cuttings or to pur-
chase some. Stock up with small plants
of Cleveland Cherries. Plant more
cold storage giganteum Lilies for early
Fall flowering; plant Liliiim speciosum
rubrum. Sow late Asters now; don't
forget about sowing Canterbury Bells,
Foxglove and English Wallflowers, yon
will want all of them. Rooted cut-

tings of Salvias, Ageratum and double
Petunias, potted up now, will still
grow into salable plants by the middle
of June. Have you all the Carnations
you want? This is the right time to
plant them out. Order what you are
short of in Chrysanthemums. If you
are going to replant Roses, locate the
young stock now and place your order.
Sow Gypsophila elegans outdoors now
for cutting and keep it up.

BAXTER'S NURSERY WRINKLES

It's not so much a question of the
nurseryman's ability to meet the de-
mands for supplying plants after the
usual Spring planting season is over,
but rather of creating that demand by
educating the public to continue buy-
ing that will prolong the planting sea-

son. Nothing short of advertising will
put across the story successful trans-
planting in Summer.

Whether by ball and burlap, basket,
pot or tub is immaterial, if you can
deliver plants in leaf that will grow,
then advertise them.

April 28. — George C. Roeding, president
of the Fancher Creek J^ursery, Fresno,
Calif., and of the California Nursery,
Niles, Calif., left last week on the S. S.
Golden State, for Shanghai, China, the
first stop in a long tour which he plans
as a rest from overwork.

E. Sherer, formerly manager of the Los
Angeles branch of the Fancher Creek
Nursery, and later of the California Nur-
sery Co., at Niles, is now manager of the
West Coast Nursery Co., newly estab-
lished at Menlo Park, Calif.

Visitors in tovra last week included
Messrs. F. Howard, Roy Wilcox and C. E.
Gutting, of Los Aiigeles, who came here
to attend a meeting of the California
Association of Nurserymen.

The plans for the Fall Flower Show of
the San Francisco Retail Florists Associa-
tion and of the Pacific Coast Horticul-
tural Society are beginning to take con-
crete form, and it looks as if Oct. 26, 27
and 28 would be the probable date, and
the Civic Auditorium of San Francisco
the place. However, definite announce-
ments will be made as soon as these points
have been finally agreed on. J. R.W.

Trade Notes

April 28. — Up to Monday last all
hands were hu.mping, but since then sales
of all kinds have lagged considerably. The
absence of the usual run of funeral work
made it a quite blue Monday. The fact
that the weather still keeps rainy and
dark makes stock very slow in coming to
bloom ; there is an actual shortage of
stock in some lines, especially Carnations.
We note that most of the SI signs have
disappeared. Peas also have slacked up.
Roses are prime and plentiful ; late
Easter Lilies contine to fill the bill
aplenty. The Calla crop is over the peak,
so that there are enough vases left in
the shops now to put some other flowers
in. The outdoor Lilac is excellent, as it
is coming out slowly and the flowers are
well developed and of rich velvety color.
Outdoor Darwins are to be had, but most-
ly from held over bulbs. The high price
of this kind of bulbous stock did not
allow it to be used for outdoor planting
when 4c. and 5c. is the prevailing price
wholesale. This would not cover the price
of the bulbs, let alone the labor, which is
not the cheapest thing in the world. Ce-
cil Brunner Roses are at their best now,
the heavj- crop being off and the side
shoots producing a flower that has the
very best of color on a nice, light, wiry
stem. Forgetmenots 'are now coming
from the outside, both in pots and as a
cut flower.

The cut of English Primroses and
Pansies is about up to demand. Spanish
Iris of local cut is shomi in so small
quantities, and snapped up so fast, that
the shops hardly Icnow that they had it
to sell. Snapdragon? are now at their
very be.'^t, as the first and strongest of
the crop is coming to bloom and are
bringing from S3 to $4 for the best, and
2 to §2.50 for seconds.

News Notes

E. R. Chappell, of Chappell's Flower
Shop, is in the East, visiting his father

who is seriously ill. Since Mr. Chappell
reached there his father has steadily im-
proved. He may be away from the city
for another month.

More than one grower is scratching his
head trying to find a way out of the diffi-
culty of getting enough stock to fill
Mother's Day orders. Gone seem to be
the days when Mother's Day found Car-
nations a drug on the market and all
kinds of flowers aplenty, and the garbage
■can working overtime. Now we are all
busy scraping together what little stock
we can, so that at least the great majority
of the buying public can be supplied. The
churches are around already looking for
a price on Carnations by the hundreds,
and they can't see why they should not
get a liberal discount when they buy so
many. At any rate, let's hope for a little
sunshine; the proposition will then look
much brighter.

The ilartin & Forbes Co. have been en-
joying some very .fine wedding orders the
past two weeks! As usual, this firm is
featuring their own Roses.

Lubliner's Flower Shop has added gold
fish and candy as side lines.

Clarke Bros, are showing some excellent
French Hydrangeas and Spiraea Queen
Alexandra. These fill a much felt want,
as potted plants of all kinds are scarce.

On the Art of Making Ads Pay

The advertisement which follows is
taken from a recent issue of the Newport
Herald and reprinted here just as it ap-
peared in that paper, punctuation, capi-
talization and all:

FOR SALE

FOR SALE

Pansy plants, Fansies geantifnl
pansies tiro hnndxed thousand in
fall blooxn, the public is invited
to see thexn These are not com- ■
mon pansies -ivhich yon see in other
places. My pansies are groxring
in fnll snnlight, and go to school
from sunrise to snnset. They are '
educated, the electricity is taken
out of the air and put in the pansy
pods, it is a long day for pansy boys
and girls but they do it -with de-
light and at night they go sound to
sleep and be fresh in the morning.

you wait they -will not. Also hardy

Zandt avenue. I

Our Newport correspondent, Alexander 1
MacLellan, in calling this ad of JMr.
Brandt's to our attention, declares it
surely an original ad and writes further:
"Being at work in ilr. Brandt's neighbor-
hood yesterday we saw many ladies car-
rying off baskets of Pansies which, we
learned on inquiry, were bought at his
place at §2 per dozen. His best ones, they
informed me, cost S4 per dozen; these,
we presume, had caught a few extra Sun-
rays."

If Mr. Brandt can obtain $2 per doziei
for Pansies, first through his advertising
in a local paper and, secondly, througV
making his ad read in an original way
while many another Pansy grower is sell
ing his product at 50c. to §1 per dozen
surely this should be a lesson to all loca
florists who have bedding plants or othe
stocks to oSer the public.

First, it proves that through an ac
far more business -will come to the adver
tiser than did he keep his light hid imde
a bushel measure. Secondly, that he is ep
abled to obtain more money for hit
product than were he satisfied just to sel
to casual customers who not haying se^
the stock ad as something special wouli
have no incentive to pay him a fair price

Surely this true skit should put ever;
man on the alert and cause him to adver
tise freely. A good catchy ad, which doe
not in the least unduly exaggerate values
continuously practiced by the grower
should double his annual income througl
enhanced prices and more customers. N"eed
less to caution, however, that he mus
use common sense in knowing what to ad
vertise and liow to express himself ii
print. As to this latter, if the growe
does not feel competent to write the at
he will find the advertising manager o
any local newspaper perfectly willing t
help him. Here again, however, he mUB
not be led off by the advertising mai
into going more deeply into the advei
tising expense than his common sense di(
tates. As he finds his business increasin
through this local advertising so will h
be in a position to spend more money i.
that direction.

How Our Wrought Iron Posts Are
After 40 Years In The Ground

Builders of Greenhouses and Conservatories

Here's where we make an honest con-
fession. This is it :

Over a half century ago, before we had
much of any experience building green-
houses, we thought we knew about all
one needed to know. Now we know less
than we thought we knew then, but we
have the advantage of half a century of
experience on which to base what we
now know.

Just for example, we claim that our
guaranteed wrought iron posts will out-
last any steel posts that are made, even
if they are twice as thick. We didn't
make that claim because we thought it
was so, or because the people who had
wrought iron to sell told us it was so.
We knew it was so, because we had ex-
perience that proved it was sol

Exactly 30 years after we built Frank
Pierson of Tarrytown a house, he began
wondering about whether the posts ought
to be replaced. He dug down and found
them sound as a nut. Last Fall, which
vras close to 10 years afterward, we asked
him to let us do some digging on our
own hook. Still those wrought iron posts
were sound and strong. Rusted over the
surface, of course, but not rusted into
the metal.

For exactly the same reason that
wrought pipe lasts longest; so do
wrought posts. Why be so determined
to have wrought pipe, or nothing; and
then let someone sell you a greenhouse
with steel posts?

Wrought iron posts set in con-
crete and double gusset plates
on, ready for putting up rafters.

Note those gusset plates on

Field of Freesia Purity Improved, Growing in California for the American Bulb Company, Bein? Inspected by A. Miller, President

FREESIAS PURITY— Improved

We believe we are the largest handlers of high-grade Purity Freesia bulbs in America. All our fields are thoroughly examined during their grow-
ing stage by our own members of the firm to insu're our customers of the best the crops can produce. We can deliver Freesia bulbs early enough to
enable you to get them in bloom for Christmas, if properly handled. Our bulbs are not grow^n in the wet district of California but are properly w^atered
by irrigation. They are all grown near Los Angeles which florists in California recognize as the best place to grow high-grade bulbs. The fact that
w^e sell quantities in California of our own grown is evidence that florists know w^here the best quality is produced.

Bulbs offered in the following sizes, all up to size: Up to ),^, $7.50; %-%, $12.50; Mammoth Bulbs, %■%, $16.50; Jumbo Bulbs, % and up,
$22.00 (quantity limited).

Dear Sirs:

The Freesia^ Purity you sold me this year were
as good as ever. I have found that I can always
rely on your Freesia Bulbs. The large ones for
early forcing were in for the holidays as usual.

The Rainbow Freesias are fine, growing tall and
have very stiff stems. The colors are very fine
and sell readily. Yours truly,

Gentlemen:

Just a word about the Freesia bulbs you sold
me last year. I have grown Freesia bulbs for the
past 20 years, but I have never before cut so great
a percentage in December. I cut fully 50 per
cent of my crop for the Christmas holidays. They
were fine and sold well at the Michigan Cut
Flower Exchange in Detroit.

Tour Dutch bulbs are also fine. Tours truly,

"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
in high and was covered the entire season with what can easily be classed as immense trussea of
flowers as many of them were over 2H in. across, while the individual flower would be H of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with Alter-
n.iQtheras as a border plant. . ,, * * i *

DJUILU PATRICK OIAIU

From a small photograph taken by Mr. Robert Kift, Philadelphia. Pa., the last day of the New York

Dahlia Show The flowers had been cut four days pre\-iousIy, shipped and constantly handled in a warm

room. Mr. Kift was impressed with their remarkably fresh appearance and took the picture to preserve

the evidence. Note the long, straight strong stems after four days hard usage.

and make a good profit

Patrick O'Mara began work as a boy for
Peter Henderson, and grew up with the house,
becoming general manager. In appreciation of
his life-long efforts for horticulture, we named
for him this, the best Dahlia we have sent out
in over nearly half a century of growing
reliable stock.

Awarded

Gold Medal, American Dahlia Society for
best new variety; Silver Medal, Society
American Florists; Bronze Medal, Toronto
Horticultural Society; American Dahlia Society
Certificate, highest score at the trial grounds,
at Connecticut Agricultural College, under
ordinary field culture, a test that shows what
results any grower may expect.

Our reputation for square dealing covering half a century is back of the Decorative Dahlia Patrick O'Mara.

The flowers are large, 8 inches or more in diameter and the stems are sufficiently strong to hold the
massive blooms erect as long as the flowers last. The petals are regular and of unusually firm substance, the
face of the flower showing nothing but petals with no open center, making a perfect bloom.

The color is a rare attractive Autumn shade, an unusually soft and pleasing orange-buff, slightly tinged with
Neyron rose, showing most on the petal backs. It is a striking combination.

It is the best shipping Dahlia and the best keeper we ever saw — sure to prove a money-making commercial
variety and will be included in choice garden varieties.

Editors of horticultural journals and Dahlia experts pronounce it a real acquisition.

Price, $10.00 per plant, $100.00 per doz. Safe deHvery guaranteed. Cash to accompany order. Correspon-
dence invited from catalogue houses and retailers.

Thoughts on Memorial Day

MIOMUKIAL DAY, as an aimuiil eveut witLi us,
has so louK been in vosjine, that to many, par-
ticularly those who can claim no relationship
with tlie lieaii lierocs in whose memory it was inaugu-
rater. It is merely an event whicli brings freedom from
the everyday task. True, ^-reat numbers of people
have entered into tlie spirit of the day and make it
an occasion for rememberin}; friends and relatives
who have passed over tiie border, but many more might
well be encouraged to do so.

The custom of remembering the dead by decorating
tlieir graves with flowers is, of course, an ancient one.
Long before the Christian era, flowers and other gifts
were used to mark tlie resting places of the departed ;
indeed, it is not improbable that the custom of erect-
ing headstones, mausoleums, etc., was but an after-
development, not even excluding the great pyramids
of Egypt.

How It Came About

A memorial day, however, specially set aside for
honoring a dead host, by a nation was, we think, un-
known until inaugurated in 1S6S, by General Logan,
to whom the idea was prompted through the spon-
taneous thought, after the war, of the widows, moth-
ers and children of the South who strewed the graves
of not only the Confederate, but Union dead also, with
dowers, a fact that aroused a greater feeling of ten-
derness than years of talk about love and unity could
have done.

The recognition of Memorial Day was at first con-
fined among the survivors of the war, the various
Posts forming the Grand Army of the Republic being
deputed by General Logan to honor May 30 by spe-
cial exercises, and by decorating the graves of their
former comrades.

Later, the various State legislatures made the date
a special holiday and the public as a whole came to
accept it as a day fittingly suited for decorating the
graves of any one whose memory was cherished.

The World War Effects

With the advent of the Great World War, resulting
as it did in not only the deaths of thousands of gal-
lant Americans, but millions of representatives of
other nations, the recognition of Memorial Day has
received an added stimulus.

Thousands of families in the United States have
nothing but a memory of sons and fathers, stricken
down in their prime, and while many thousands of
those gallant boys lie in the blood sodden soil of
France, their relatives, as Memorial Day comes
around, will, in many instances, feel it their duty to
honor some grave by placing thereon a few flowers.

May Become International

It is not improbable that the recognition of Me-
morial Day will eventually become a universal and
international custom. Through the influence of the
American Legion and the French and American Chil-
dren's League, France is, through its children, recog-
nizing our Memorial Day. True, the red Poppy is
the emblem to be recognized, but we may safely
assume that the warm-hearted French people as a
whole, will In the end, make it a day for decorating
the graves of their own and the allied soldiers, instead
of merely wearing the red Poppy. Such a develop-
ment, would undoubtedly bring Great Britain Into
line, for while supposedly lacking in sentiment, the
people of that country have. In recent years, shown
that sentiment Is far from being absent within them.
The extraordinary solemn proceedings on Armistice
Day, 1920, when an unknown soldier was buried in
Westminster Abbey, with all the pomp accorded a
sovereign, is proof sufficient. No greater funeral
ceremony, vrith so large an audience, has ever been
recorded. In addition, the adoption by various Eng-
lish towns of one or more of the stricken French vil-
lages, further suggests that there is little to choose
between peoples where sentiment is concerned pro-
vided they are prompted and shown how to express it.

Flowers and Sentiment

Flowers are a simple and natural method of ex-
pressing sentiment, and since it is not possible, either
in this or any other country, for everyone to go out
and gather wUd flowers for Memorial Day, as was
done when it was first inaugurated, the florist, both
grower and retailer, is the legitimate channel through
which the public may obtain its requirements.

The Florists' Opportunity

It is fairly safe to assume that every producer and
retailer of flowers and flowering plants is aware of
the importance of Memorial Day, and yet one may
venture to hazard that many are apt to tie themselves

the open Is not a dldicult proposition. Even in this
untoward season, we have seen Iiarwin Tulips that
w ill not be ready until Memorial Day, especially with
such weather conditions as have prevailed during the
opening days of this month.

Ky the use of frame sashes, or shade, or by plant-
ing in sjiecial locations, various jilants may be made
to Howur before or after their natural period and
it Is the nntn who can so lit his arrangements to coin-
cide with Memorial Day who will have the pull.

Typical G. A. R. Veteran

The late Joseph Meehan, color sergeant

down too closely to one class of stock for the occasion.
Some, we must confess, appear to imagine that the
spirit of Memorial Day is wrapped up in artificial
wreaths and, in some localities, it is possible that the
patrons of such shops are, in their simple ignorance,
led to think that they honor their dead by such con-
traptions. Wreaths and made-up pieces, are not, how-
ever, an essential for Memorial Day trade. The ele-
ment behind the idea should be, not the mere cater-
ing to the few who can afford (or who think it the
proper thing) elaborate pieces, but rather the encour-
agement of everyone to purchase at least a few flow-
ers.

Quantity Rather Than Quality

The most successful businesses of today are not
those which cater to high priced, slow paying, trade,
but rather those who handle huge quantities on a
quick turnover basis. This can be applied to the flo-
rists as well as any other business, and particularly
does this apply to the suburban florist who grows
much of his own stock. Quantity, rather than quality,
is what is required for Memorial Day trade, and what-
ever flowers are available at reasonable rates should
be stocked up to the limit.

Where a window offers the opportunity. Memorial
Day displays should not be overlooked but still more
important is the need of advertising in good time.
Everything naturally in flower at this date can be
made a Memorial Day seller, nor should plants be
overlooked.

It may prove that some lines will be scarce this
season but it would be unwise to drive the public to
artificial Poppies, which will doubtless be available
in hundreds of thousands through boosting the price
of all kinds of stock because one or two particular
lines are scarce.

Timtnir of Outdoor Crops

The wise retail grower florist will doubtless have
planned to have certain lines ready for Memorial Day
and to such a grower the timing of a crop grown in

Increasing the Carnation Supply for Motiier's
Day

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

Thinking that bow to increase the Carnation supply
for a given time would be Interesting to your readers
prompts us to write the following. Ability to increase
the supply of Carnations for Mother's Day after the
experience of last Sunday and ever since the demand
was created for that day, would be welcomed by many.
We believe that observations we have made will help
meet the emergency.

We are sending you a flowering shoot of a Carna-
tion on which the terminal bud shows about one-
quarter inch of the calyx and the top is about even
with the points on ends of the two upper leaves.
The two smaller leaves nearer the bud take more the
form of bracts and are not to be considered. We
have marked such buds and found that they take a
full month to develop; that is, the month preceding
Mother's Day and have arrived at the conclusion that
if Carnations were not disbudded say six to seven
weeks before Mother's Day until one month before,
and then remove the terminal for a healthy laterai
bud showing one-quarter inch of the calyx as de-
scribed above. This would well reward the trouble
and help relieve part of the shortage and make both
the fiower buyers and sellers happier. With a little
practice and judgment one should soon acquire the
knowledge necessary to select proper buds. The above
might also serve for Christmas and Easter purposes.
We send also a Carnation shoot as an example to show
that had we removed the larger bud instead of cut-
ting the whole stem, the smaller or lateral bud would
have flowered about a mouth later.

Newark, N. J. Paul Mindek.

— The suggestions above given are in line with
those laid down by Chas. P. Mueller of Wichita, Kan.,
in his paper, "Increasing the cut of Carnations for
Mother's Day," read at the 30th annual convention of
the American Carnation Society, Jan. 26, and pub-
lished in The Exchange Jan. 29, page 248.

This paper was later discussed in session but, in
the end, it was decided that Mr. Mueller's plan was
not feasible as it would entail a sacrifice of blooms
both before and after Mother's Day.

With all due regard for the experience and abiUty
of those who discussed and decided against Mr. Muel-
ler's paper, we believe that the proposition is not one
to be set aside lightly by the grower florist. If it
entailed a slight shortage a few weeks before Mother's
l>ay it would be more than compensated by the great
output just when wanted.

We have had suttieient dealings with the European
border Carnation and the annual Marguerite type in
the open, to know that if a big show of bloom is
wanted the laterals should be given preference.

The question of exhibition quality does not arise in
such cases, it is bloom of fair to good quality that is
wanted in quantity.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating; have any
readers experimented this season along the lines sug-
gested by Chas. P. Mueller?

Floral Arts Club Formed

The Floral Arts Club has been inaugurated here
with the purpose of furthering the social intercourse
of its members and advancing all matters of educa-
tional and mutual benefit to those interested in flori-
culture and the allied trades of this city. The society
meets on the second Tuesday of each month for dinner
and a program which follows.

Its members consist of florists, seedsmen, nursery-
men, landcape architects, and gardeners. We wish to
take this opportunity of extending an invitation to
all those interested, who may be in our city at the
time of our monthly meeting.

The Obliging Salesman. — The woman shopper looked and
looked, but seemed to be unable to find anything to satisfy her.
The obliging clerk pulled down bo.x after box in an attempt
to make a sale. Finally the woman picked up her gloves and
parasol and observed "I don't think I'll buy anything today.
I'm sorry to have troubled you, but the fact is I was just looking
for a friend." "Oh, that's all right. It was no trouble at
all, I assure you," the clerk answered. "In fact, if you think
your friend might be in any of the few remaining boxes, I'll
open them, too." — Harper's Magazine.

Notes from Abroad

;The weathei- now shows specimens of
the traditional mildness of Spring, and
recent rains have brought vegetation along
at a good pace. It is now possible to get
some idea of the state of the biennial
flower seed crops in the English seed-
growing districts, where Sweet Williams,
Myosotis, Pansies, etc., look promising.
Canterbury Bells are strong individually, I
but plantations thin. Polyanthus, Prim-
rose and Cowslips doubtful as to yield, and
Wallflowers, while some plantations look
fairly well, are, on the whole, disappoint-
ing. Another year of scarcity for the
favorite genus would appear to be in-
evitable.

The agricultural seed trade in Great
Britain is going along rather quietly,
prices being more on the low side than the
larger merchants relish. The only really
active section is that of grasses and Clo-
vers, for which there is a good demand,
owing to much land being laid down to
pasture instead of root and grain crops.
There is a very keen demand for wild
white Clover, and dealers will, if satisfied
that the seed is genuine, give many times
the figure for it that they will for the
cultivated form of Trifolium repens.
From comparative trials made by a lead-
ing house, it can be seen that the dif-
ference in habit and growth is very marked,
the wild sort being smaller leaved, shorter
pointed, and of a more rapidly spreading
character. It is thus a more profitable
crop to the farmer for fattening cattle
than the larger, jucier and longer stemmed
White Dutch Clover, which has for long
been the standard sort. Another point
in favor of the wild variety being a lover
of phosphates, is its ready response to
manurial treatment, a moderate applica-
tion of basic slag having a wonderful ef-
fect. Permanent pasture becomes prac-
tically monopolized by it, and like other
legimiinous crops, it leaves the soil richer
than it found it, causing a great improve-
ment in the yield of the succeeding crop.

No. IS Bedford square, London, had
a great day on the 21st of April, when
the Prince of Wales came down to for-
mallj- open the new home of the Cham-
ber of Horticulture- All sections of the
horticultural industry were worthily repre-
sented and H. K. H. had quite a warm
time W'ith handshaking. The fact that
horticulture is coming more into its own,
not only commercially ,but also politically
and socially, is a good augury for its fu-
ture standing as an important asset of the
communitv. Trax.satlantic Seedsman.

New York Seed Trade

The going back to colder weather, such
as we usually expect to have in March,
during the first four days of last week,
acted as a severe check on the counter
trade in seeds at all the stores in this city
and curtailed severely the sales of green
plants also. In the closing days of the
week, however, when the temperature
was somewhat higher, counter trade in
seeds was resumed to a moderate degree,
and the demand for green plants again
became brisk. These same conditions in
the seed stores were continuing on Mon-
day and Tuesday of this week.

Freach Bulb Prices

Concerted action is being considered by
the American imjiorters on acount of the
prices quoted by French growers for their
bulbs for this year's delivery. These
prices the importers consider altogether
too high when there is taken into consid-
eration their probable efi:'ect on the sales
of French bulbs in the United States this
year. While the French bulb importers
may not act as a unit in this matter, it

is believed that the discussion will result
in the determining of a maximum price
that they will agree to pay. In some
instances importers have stated their
hual decision to keep off French bulbs en-
tirely this year. Cablegram.^ sent broad-
cast to the American trade by the Dutch
Bulb Exporters' Association protest
against what they consider the unreason-
ably high prices for French bulbs as
quoted by the French growers and ship-
pers, and American cooperation against
these prices is asked. Another factor
which enters into the buying of French
bulbs is the rapid rise in French exchange
which has begun to alarm importers of
French bulbs; it is feared that there has
been very little covering among them.
Another and unexpected factor in the
matter of fixing the price of French bulbs
has appeared, namely, the recent rains in
France which, after nearly ten Aveek of
drought, have greatly increased the crop
prospects.

Local Business Notes

The bi-weekly auction at noon every
Tuesday and Friday, held by the Mac-
Niff Horticultural Co., 52-54 Vesey st.,
which is drawing on each of these days
crowds of buyers, has not prevented the
gradual moving of this company into its
new quarters at 196 Greenwich st. In-
deed the poultry department of this com-
pany has been already moved therein and
is doing business there, and the seed de-
partment has also been partly moved.
A marked feature of its sales this Spring
has been the immense demand both at
retail and auction for hybrid Tea Rose
bushes which have been taken out of the
benches of the Rose growers who produce
flowers for the wholesale market. The
demand for Ophelia, Mrs. Russell, Mrs.
Aaron Ward, double white Killarney, has
been especially heavy; even some of the
newer Roses, such as Dunlop, have been
on sale.

At Vaughan's Seed Store, especially
during the closing days of last week and
the earlier days of this week, the demand
for green, vegetable and perennial flower-
ing plants at its open windows, on both
the Barclay and Church st. sides, has
been brisk, and the quality appears
on inspection to be excellent and to cover
a wide range of varieties; for instance,
we noted recently on looking over the
flowering plants. Petunia, Cannas, hardy
Chrysanthemums, Coreopsis, Aquilegia,
Sedum, Campanula, Delphinimn, Funkia,
Phlox, Shasta Daisies, Vinca Major,
Geraniums, Pyrethrum, Sunflower, Salvia,
English Daisies, Ageratum, Lonicera,
Clematis, Tritoma and Kudzu vine. We
give this list to show what New York
seed stores that give attention to green
flowering plants have to offer in the way
of variety. The fact is that you can visit
one of these stores which nays attention
to the green plant business and buy
enough plants to give you a full fledged
flower or vegetable garden almost all at
once.

Not a few representatives from the
seed stores which cater especially to the
private trade, and many gardeners from
this section of the country, attended on
Monday of this week the funeral of David
Gordon, who had been for many years
head gardener for Mrs. E. F. Neustadt of
Chappaqua, N. Y.

Chicago Seed Trade

After a week of slow trade due to un-

Henderson's Seed Store is enjoying a

splendid retail trade in vegetable plants,

perennials and shrubbery. Manager Deg-

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

The other day asking,
a florist how it was that
we never had sold him
Dutch Bulbs, we were
reproved that our
prices were too high,
against which we ar-
gued our well known
**not how cheap but
how good'* maxim, ex-
plaining that it was
saving at the spigot
and wasting at the
bung to crimp on price
in buying Dutch
Bulbs and emphasized
in obtaining Horseshoe
Brand a dependable
crop is assured. He
honestly admitted hav-
ing received poor stock
from the Dutchman he
had ordered of, over
fifty per cent, coming
blind, and for the life
of us we can't see where
any saving comes in
there. While our prices
are not the cheapest,
Horseshoe Brand
Dutch Bulbs are sold
as reasonably as first-
class stock can be had
for — French and Lily
Bulbs also — so if you
want as good bulbs as
are to be had, send us
your order.

tages offered nurserymen, and seedsmen
who handle hardy ornamental stock by the
possibilities of extending the season of
planting by the B. and B. idea, — otherwise
"Basketing and Burlapping" as intro-
duced by The Florists' Exchange. A
quantity of these baskets has been re-
ceived and sent to the company's growers
to be planted with desirable stock with the
idea of prolonging the sales period for
nursery stock.

President E. B. Howe of the W. W
Barnard Co., has in full bloom at his
home, 9525 S. Winchester ave., a trial col-
lection of Tulips that are highly admired.
The collection consists of over 125 differ-
ent varieties and contains many rare and
beautiful sorts in Darwins and other late
flowering varieties. Mr. Howe reports the
counter trade as quite active and likely to
remain so for a few weeks longer.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co.
reports the receipt of many letters from

Cyclamen growers on the success they at-
tained the past season with plants grown
from Ferd Fischer's seed. The company
is booking orders for early delivery for
the present season and can fill some im-
mediately for those who desire to plant
early. The entire crop of this famous seed
is handled by A. B. C.

What seems to be an unwarrantable
advance in the price of Paperwhite Nar-
cissus and other French bulbs as estab-
lished by the French growers, has thrown
the plants of Chicago importers into dis-
order. To those in the trade that have
sold at open prices or at figures presxun-
ably not to exceed those of the past sea-
son the situation is somewhat perplexing.
It is safe to say that there will not be
many orders placed until there is a more
satisfactory adjustment of prices between
the French sj'ndicate of growers and
American importers. There are those in
Chicago who believe the matter should be
put up to the growers, especially those
who grow Paperwhites extensively, ask-
ing if they would prefer to get along for
a season without any, rather than pay the
advanced prices. After all it is the grow-
ers who pay, and it is but reasonable that
they should have a say so in the matter
before orders are placed for this season's
crops.

Chas. Dickinson, retired head of the
Albert Dickinson Co., seedsmen of Chi-
cago, has gone in strongly for flying as a
pastime and hobby. He has averaged a
flight a day since last August and contem-

Mr. Dickinson first became interested in
aviation when in 1911 he flew with Tom
Sopwith, the Englishman, at the Chicago
a^^ation meet. Mr. Dickinson was one of

Spring Sales on Flower and Vege-
table Seeds and Bulbs

After having the experience of a fair
season, Carters Tested Seeds, Inc., report
that business is now beginning to show a
decided decline. No doubt this condition
was induced somewhat by the wet, cold
and unsettled weather experienced during
April, evidently dampening the ardor of
a great many amateurs and suburbanites
who had made earlier plans for Spring
planting. If favored with good weather
from now on, a portion of this business
could xmdoubtedly be secured. Purchases
were made with greater care and selec-
tion than during the past few seasons,
and the results will be more general sat-
isfaction with the stock produced.

Fertilizer this year has not been used
so generally as during the past season.
The same applies to Potatoes, and it_ is
surprising how few of them arc being

than it has been for years and, in our

Knoxville, Tenn.

May s. — That Mother's Day is becoming
one of the best flower days of the year
was strongly demonstrated in Knoxnlle
tbis year. It stands as a fair rival for
Christmas business, and if it develops in
the next three or four years, as it has in
tbe three or four years just past, it will
equal that of Easter if it does not lead
tbem all. Why shouldn't it be a great
day? It carries with it a sentiment that
appeals to every one. The only hindrance
as we can see it is the shortage of stock
at this time of the year, due to the fact
that it comes so soon after Easter that it
is impossible to obtain a lieav^' crop from
greenhouse stock. It is true that there
is always a supply of outdoor stock at
this season of the year, but this is more
or less uncertain, owing to weather con-
ditions. This year the supply of outside
stock was ver\- low and of inferior qual-
ity, due to the unusually cool weather
and late season, some of which had been
badly damaged on account of late frosts.
If Mother's Day is to be advertised and
pushed by the florists, which of course it
IS, the growers must arrange for a crop
of flowers just as they do for Christmas,
Easter and other special occasions.

The demand for flowers seemed to be
general this season, and everything that
had the resemblance of a plant or flower
was readily disposed of; much more might
have been sold; in fact, many were turned
away without flowers. The Knoxville
florists did not advance their prices, be-
ing content to sell their stock at regular
prices, thereby realizing a fair margin of
profit and assuring the public of their
desire to promote the day through fair
dealing. Rumors of exorbitant prices
have been circulated more or less through
the public press and the public is suspi-
cious. It is up to the florists to convince
the public of their integrity in this con-
nection, or public opinion might be
aroused against the movement and the
florist business placed in bad light.

Prices on flowers were as follows: Car-
nations, S3 per doz. for the ordinary
grades, with Laddie at §6; Roses, from
$2 to §8 per doz.; Peonies, from S2 to $5
per doz.: Sweet Peas, §2 to §4 per 100;
orchids, from $3 to §5 each; Calendulas,
$1.50 per doz.; Pansies, §1.50 per 100;
Sweet William, Si. 50 per dozen sprays.

Short stemmed flowers for boutonnieres
were sold at iOc, 15c. and 25c. each.

SOUTHRO.

destroyed by smoke and water. A large
stock of paper boxes in the basement also
suffered considerable damage. The shop
itself was not burned.

August R. Bamner reports that his busi-
ness kept him 'Timnping" during the past
week and that he expects to do the biggest
business of the year during Derby Day
and Mother's Day. He said, "The races
are a big thing and I think they will boost
the flower trade a great deal throughout
the entire course." He is supported in
this by the majority of florists who say
that corsage bouquets are always very
much in demand at this time every year.
The completion of many new residences
throughout the city will probably call for
much bedding stock in the next few weeks.
Shrubbery and porch boxes, which have
been popular for the past few years, will
probably be in demand and a good many
sales are expected in this line.

The Kentucky Society of Florists held
its monthly meeting on Wednesday, May
11, at the Henrj- Watterson Hotel-
Mrs. M. D. Reimers, formerly in the
florist business on Fourth ave., who wound
up about a year or more ago, is now man-
ager of the Louisville Detention Home,
an organization which takes care of stray
boys and girlsj and those brought to the
juvenile court on various charges.

Robert A. Kraft of the Nanz & Neuner
Co. expects to change his residence shortly,
having sold the Inez apartments, in which
he has been living for a year or more, for
S23,500, which figured a profit on invest-
ment of around §11,000.

The Louisville Nursery Co. is busy plant-
ing out shrubbery. Its acreage of ever-
greens looks especiallv fine iust now.

O. V. N. S.

Loaisvilley Ky.

Business continues good. Thjere has
been a steady demand for cut flowers,
while a large amount of orders for
wreaths have been placed in the past week.
Owing to warmer weather the last two
or three days, bedding stock has opened
and a great many orders are being taken
for shrubbery. Porch boxes, baskets and
hanging plants are in demand, while bulbs
and garden plants are selling well.

A number of dancing school entertain-
ments and house parties during the week
boosted the cut flower business and cor-
sage bouquets have been in demand.
Funeral business has also been good.

Derby Day, the opening of the Spring
races, is looked forward to as a good day
for the florists. This year's Derby is ex-
pected to be the greatest in history, and
florists throughout the city are preparing
for a record business. Mother's Day,
which inmaediately follows Derby Day,
will, of course, call for an inflated amount
of business, although florists are afraid
that the amount of Carnations now on
hand will not suffice the occasion. This
shortage, naturally, causes a high price to
be placed on Carnations and Roses are
expected to sell well as a substitute.

A niunber of local wholesalers have
thrown out the majority of their Carna-
tion plants and are using the houses for
next year's supply. It is the belief of
several local dealers that this is the cause
of high prices of Carnations.

A fire in the Arcadia building last
week caused the loss of about §500 in
the stock of Henry Fuchs. The fire, which
started in an adjoining bakery, is be-
lieved to have been started by a cigarette
dropped by plumbers at work in the base-
ment. It was well \mder way when dis-
covered, and a lack of openings large
enough to enter made it hard for the fire-
men to fight. A great niunber of plants
and flowers were damaged in being car-
ried from the shop, while many were

Baltimore, Md.

The Market

May 10. — Another Mother's Day
has passed, but it is doubtful if similar
conditions have ever prevailed since this
day was first advocated. For one week
previous, the sun did not even peep
through the clouds, consequently the sup-
ply of stock was insufficient to meet the
demand and this work, coupled with a
heavy demand for funeral work, abso-
lutely cleaned the market. It is doubt-
ful if there was as much stock available
as would have been for another holiday.
Carnation buds just refused to open; even
though the growers had heat turned on
the houses, it did not help conditions any.
Roses were in about the same condition,
and sold at rather high prices. Some few
Peonies of early types were available and
sold on sight. The small quantity of va-
riety and novelty stock was all used.
Briefly simmied up, it is safe to say at
least three times the volume of business
could have been transacted had the stock
been available for sale. This condition
only goes to prove that no matter how
Miss Jarvis may protest against the flo-
rists commercializing Mother's Day, the
public have taken this day unto them-
selves, and are going to send "Mother"
flowers in spite of what puny efforts may
be made to the contrary. It is not in
the hands of the growers whether they
will hold down this business by being
satisfied to sell what stock they would,
under normal conditions, have at this
period of the year or whether the attempt
will be made to produce flowers, both
plants and cut flowers, for this occasion,
just as is now done for Easter and Christ-
mas. The writer's conviction is that this
day makes a universal appeal to the great-
est friend of all mankind, "Mother."

The retail storekeeper is limited in the
amount of business he can handle, by the
amount of stock available for sale, so it's
up to the growers to get busy and give
them something to sell and we will
eventually see Mother's Day the banner
flower day of the year, Christmas and
Easter not excepted.
Club Meeting

The regular monthly meeting of the
Baltimore Florists Club was held on May
9: the attendance was only fair as there
was nothing special on the program. Chas.
H. Cremer and Jos. E. Cremer of_ Han-
over, Pa., were elected to membership and
after the routine business had been dis-
posed of, the question of publicity was up
for discussion. The work of the Publicity

Committee of last year was reviewed and
after considerable discussion, it was de-
cided to discharge this conmiittee and
the funds held by the club treasurer to
the credit of this committee, be retained
as a publicity fund; the work to be dis-
continued until some future period. ^Yhile
the work of the committee has not been
without good results, the general opin-
ion seemed to be that it would be inad-
visable at this time to continue advertis-
ing unless sufficient stock was placed at
the disposal of the retailers to supply the
demand which now exists.

Publicity work in the way of exhibitions
of various flowers at their seasonable per-
iod was deemed more effective than mere
news-paper advertising and if the club
would promote amateur exhibitions for
flowers such as Roses, Peonies and
Dahlias, that greater results would be
forthcoming by getting the public in actual
contact with the article we wish them to
use more extensively. Mrs. Worthington
and Miss Biard of Home Garden Com-
mittee of Woman's Civic League, appeared
before the club and spoke of the coming
Flower Mart to be held on May 12 at
base of Washington Monument. At the
request of Miss Biard the club voted a
cash prize to the owner of the best home
garden in each of the 28 wards of this
city; the prizes to be awarded by a com-
mittee of club members in the coming Fall.

LTpon the announcement of the accident
to Robert Halliday last week, the mem-
bers unanimously voted to send a mes-
sage of good wishes for a quick recovery
to him, using our slogan in the proper
manner by "Saying it with Flowers."

The club florist was instructed to attend
to the delivery of this message at once.

After question box was discussed, the
meeting adjourned.

Robert Halliday

I am pleased to report that Rob-
ert Halliday is on the road to recovery.
He was removed from the hospital to his
home on May 6 and is able to receive
visitors for a short period each day. The
impression gleaned by many readers from
the report of the accident in last issue
of The Exchange was that he was riding
in the automobile of the writer at the
time he was injured. To those who mis-
interpreted the paragraph, I wish to say
he was in the auto of John D. Halliday,
driven by Mrs. John D. Halliday. The
writer had no knowledge of the accident
until about two hours later. W. F. E.

freshments were served and a general
smoke-talk followed. The next meeting
of the club will be with H. L. Williams,
Northampton.

May 9. — The best and largest trade we
have ever had for Mother's Day from
what I can learn this morning, the in-
crease was about 75 per cent. Everything
that had a flower on it sold and made
good prices. Camati(<ns, although in
good supply, were cleared out early, mak-
ing S3 and S4 per dozen retail. Every
thing cleaned up. Plants seemed to be
more popular than ever; Hydrangeas,
Ramblers, Lilies, Geraniums, Pansies,
Daisies; in fact anything in bloom sold
well.

Lange made a hit with a nice batch of
Calceolarias, and some fine Rosy Mom
Petunias in Sin. pans.

Harry Randall reports everything sold
out by Sunday noon at good prices.

F. R. Madaus said "The best ever,"
while Walter Heron, manager for Little-
field thinks it almost beats Easter. Every-
one I could interview agrees. WoROO.

Mother's Day — and After

May 9. — With Mother's Day gone,
one finds us all looking around for any-
thing in flowers, and believe me, it is
some job to get what is needed to take
care of the demand. Roses this morning
were selling at §30, S40 and ?50 per 100,
and Carnations at $20 and $25 per 100,
with everything close and of poor quality.

The florists without any doubt did one
of the largest Mother's Day businesses
in the history of the city, and from reports
that we hear now and then and the noto-
riety we are getting through some of the
Providence papers, we are led to stop
and wonder what Mother's Day will be in
a few years — a day when no flowers will
be used; a day made so not by the retail
florist, but by the growers, who believe
in getting more than their stock is worth.

Personally, I believe it is time for us
in the retail lines to adopt some measures,
either by establishing a florist club or
something of that kind, whereby we can
get together and inform the growers with
whom we are trading every day in the
year as to what they shall charge us for
flowers at the holiday seasons. A small
advance in prices on Mother's Day would
be perfectly 0. K., but when they come
to add on 400 or 500 per cent of what
they have been getting, it is time for the
retailers to start some action, and per-
sonally I believe that The Escha:\ge,
as well as myself, would like some kind of
an opinion from the rest of us. What
say you?

Mexaorial Day in Sight

With Memorial Day in sight every-
one is busy with artificial t\ eaths and
bedding plants.

Maxwell Villar is now managing John-
ston Bros., on Dorrauce st. They have a
very pretty Winter wedding scene in their
store at the present time. McCarron had
three casket covers during the past week,
which kept most everyone rather busy at
that place of business. Bennie Trou-
pansky is now connected with the Colonial
Flower Shoppe, as is also Harold Snow,
P. F. P.

Gitalogs RecOTed

Alonzo J. Bryan, "Washington, N.J. — Wholesale
price list of bedding plants. With 85,000 sq. ft. of
glass and 130 acres, this firm ia well able to take
care of it^s orders. All kinds of stock in 2}<-in.
pots is offered, while such lines as Cannas, etc., are
featured in 3-in. Vegetable plants of all kinds also
are offered. Prices throughout are reasonable and
the stock is guaranteed to be in good condition.

Van Bourgondien Bros., Babylon, N. Y. — An
excellent bulb and root catalog, illustrating in
color on the covers, several varieties of Tulips and
Narcissus. All Tulips. Hyacinths, Daffodils and
Crocus listed are grown on the firm's own farm at

early to enable patrons to make their selections
before the season advances, French grown bulbs
are featured together with an excellent assortment
of leading Holland bulbs. A number of choice va-
rieties of Daffodils is listed, including the famous
white trumpet, Mrs. E. H. Krelage, which has now
dropped to the modest price of $30 a bulb. Iris
and Peonies in great variety are a feature.

Tuxedo (N. Y.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of the
above society was held on Wednesday
evening. May 4.

Wm. Filings, gardener on the Baker
Estate, won the society's medal for the
largest number of points for the monthly
exhibits in the past year.

The John Livingstone prize was won
by Duncan JIacGregor, second by Thos.
Lyons.

The P. W. Popp prize for best center-
piece made up by assistant gardeners:
first, Joseph Petrone; second, John
Hodeck.

The report of the annual entertainment
was read and showed it to be the most
successful affair of this kind the society
ever held.

Arrangements were made for the an-
nual ball, which takes place at an early
date.

Mr. MacGreeor read an excellent paper

on "The Rose, that brought out a long

discussion on this interesting subject.

Neai'ly all the members present took part.

Memorial Day

llie florist located opposite or
neai- n cfmi'tciy doesn't need suggestions
regttvdinij Memorial Day. With him, this
18 most likel.v the most important flower
day of the year, hut even for those far
away from a eeraetery, this day becomes
of greater importance and every florist
should, a couple of weeks previous, be
found prepared to have attractive stock,
suitable for the decoration of graves, ad-
vertise to let his patrons know about it.
Flowering plants are perhaps the most
popidar, yet there are people who prefer
a basket arrangement of cut flowers. There
is surel.\- a great variety of stock to fill
such baskets with. To have a couple of
them filled and on display is always help-
ful in taking orders. A small Magnolia
or Galax leaf wreath will appeal to oth-
ers and, while we may not want to have
such on display in the store or show house,
it is well to have a few made up and
ready to show should occasion require.
There is an advantage to a small cut
flower basket or wreath; both are easy
to carry, far more so than six or ten 4in.
Geraniums, and that will appeal to many.
Memorial Day comes at a time when prac-
tically every florist has his own stock on
hand: that is in flowering plants, and he
usually has no trouble in obtaining what
else he may need. So it is more a matter
of advertising and pushing, than anything
else in order to make it a big day.

New Varieties of Carnations

No matter how well you are doing with
your standard sorts of Carnations, if you
want to keep to the front, you should, each
year, invest a few dollars in the new intro-
ductions.. With each year it becomes
noticeable that introducers are becoming
more careful in sending out sorts for they
realize that it doesn't pay to do so, ex-
cept they are convinced that a variety
must possess real merit and be an improve-
ment over existing soils in order to make
good. Yet, in spite of all that, there are

disappointments, and the only way you
have to find out is give them a trial. It
doesn't cost much to devote a little space
to a new variety. Select a good spot and
give It a fair trial. Even if you mav not
have the best results the first year, if
it looks promising at all. try it the sec-
ond year; this is better than to wait until
everybody has it. The smaller grower, in
particular, is slow to pay attention to new
sorts; he is usually satisfied with letting
the specialist and the large grower do
the trying out and experimenting, and
himself stick to standard sorts, 'i'et with
S12 to $15 per 100 rooted cuttings, it would
seem that almost everybody at all inter-
ested in Carnations, would want to invest
a little each year. We haven't reached
perfection and never will, nor is any one
new variety apt to replace what we have
today in standard sorts, but we are going
ahead nevertheless. The only way to find
out anything about the new ones is to
give them a trial and keep on doing it
as long as we are in business.

Plans for Next Fall and Winter

Just a few more weeks and you will see
the bottom of the benches again which will
mean to once more fill them up with stock
for next Fall and Winter. It isn't too
early now to get busy figuring out with
what is best to fill them. I don't believe
ever before, or since greenhouses have
been made use of, did it pay better to
plan and figure out the best way to make
every foot of bench space count than to-
day. You can't afford to have idle benches
on the payroll or such as contain worth-
less stock. Never before did it cost more
to produce greenhouse stock than now
and there is but little outlook for a change.
With labor a few cents cheaper, perhaps,
it seems other items are as high as ever,
and it is for the owner of a greenhouse es-
tablishment to pay more attention than
ever to first, avoid all unnecessary ex-
penses in running his place and, second,
fill his houses with stock he knows he can
grow and sell. These are not the times to

experiment or nurse sick stock along; you
can't afford it. Grow what you know
you can grow and grow it well. If more
than you wjint ymn-sclf you have no
trouble in disposing of your surplus, but
it luiiKt be good.

Early Pompon 'Mums

Any variety ahno.st of Pompon 'Mums
which will come into flower between Oc-
tober 15 and the early part of November,
can be successfully grown outdoors. While
such will not take the place of indoor
stock, the flouers will come in very use-
ful, especially to those who retail the
flo^yers. You have to figure on hard stems
which all outdoor grown plants get and
therefore lack in keeping qualities when
cut, but you can overcome this to some
extent by planting rather close. This may
result in the loss of some of the lower
foliage, but will produce a softer growth
and this will not affect the flower. The
best way is to make or prepare 5ft. wide
beds and plant about lOin. to I2in. apart;
keep the plants pinched back until about
August 1, and by the early part of Octo-
ber build over the beds temporary
frames on which sashes can be placed just
before the buds show color. With glass
protection on top you will obtain more
perfect flowers. Those with a limited
amount of greenhouse space, should al-
ways plant out a good number of plants;
they will find them a paying proposition,
not to say anything about being able to
devote the bench space to something else
later.

Hydrangeas

Why not plant out a few Hydrangea
Otaksa to pot up next Fall? Now is the
time to do this, or purchase small stock
of the newer French varieties and either
plant them out, or grow on in pots dur-
ing Summer. You may not want to use
them for Easter flowering, but they will
pay the retail grower, even if allowed to

come along in a oOdeg. house. The aver-
age florist with a retail trade, should pay
far more attention to Hydrangeas for
porch and lawn decorations during the
Summer numtlis; there is nothing more i
showy than specinienB in tubs. You can
lift the field plants in October and over-
Winter them in a fiaine where frost
doesn't touch them. If you have no frame^
take a cold house. By the first of March
the plants should be planted into the tubs,
three or four 5in. pot plants to a 16in.
butter tub will be about right. Let them
come along in a cool house; the less forc-
ing you do the better and the later they
will come into flower. Some growers have
them in a frame, even after they are
potted up without glass protection except
against frost and so have them come
into flower during July and August.

Asparagus for Next Winter

Few florists keep a record of what is
being spent each year in socalled greens.
The average out of town florist has his
daily or weekly shipments of cut flowers
come to him from the larger grower or
the city wholesaler and pays but little at-
tention to the items for Asparagus which
appears on every invoice, but if he should
see the total sum paid out during the year,
it might be an inducement for him to
grow a few more plants himself instead of
insisting on plants for flowers on a bench
perhaps just a little too shady for that
purpose, yet perfectly all right for Aspara-
gus Sprengeri. A bench of such Asparagus
is every bit as valuable to. the retail
grower as Roses, Carnations or anything
else, and there are but few establishments
where this green can be successfully
handled. If there is a bench you are in
doubt about as to what to use for, after
the bedding stock, consider Asparagus
Sprengeri. The sooner you obtain young
stock the better. There are successful
growers who use 2i^in. plants for bench-
ing in June, but a S^/^in. or 4in. plant is
much better.

British Chamber of Horticulture

According to reports just to hand, the
new offices of the above organization at
1 8 Bedford Square, London, were for-
mally opened by H. R. H., the Prince
of Wales Apr. 21. Like all members of the
British Royal family, the Prince of Wales
is intensely interested in horticulture,
and he welcomed the opportunity of par-
ticipating in the opening of the new of-
lices. Practically all the leading lights
in British horticulture were in atten-
dance, while the Minister of Agriculture
and his several assistants connected with
the boi'ticultural section of the ministry,
were also present. The president of the
Chamber, George Monro, had the honor
of receiving the Prince, who after replying
to the president's address of welcome.

heartily shook hands with each of the
guests. A banquet to over 200 guests fol-
lowed, and it would appear that through
the influence of .the Chamber of Horti-
culture, British horticulture is in a
stronger position than it has ever been.
The Chamber, through its affiliated bod-
ies now represents over 10,000 commer-
cial growers of horticultural products, in-
cluding fruit and vegetables. Every sec-
tion of the trade, including sundries and
fertilizers, is represented.

Bulb Forcing Troubles

With a view to discovering ^\ hfther ,
bulb forcers on the other side had trouble
the past Winter I sought the opinion of a
friend who participates in the forcing
of Tulips on an unusually large scale.
Being pressed for time he merely wrote a
brief note with a promise of more to fol-
low. He says: "We never had Tulips and
Daffodils force more easily than the past
season, although taken all around, there -
was a much greater predisposition to
green tip than ever before. We have,
however, been able to combat it fairly
well by varying the forcing conditions."
Which goes to show that green tip is not
brought about by long sea voyages alone
and that the trouble can to some extent
be held in check. It may he mentioned
some oversea forcers of Spanish Iris have
had trouble with a peculiar disease which
caused the flower stems to fall over be-
fore the buds develop. So far as the
outdoor Daffodil crops in England are con-
cerned it would appear that the disease
has been checked. The bulb fields of
England as well as the gardens, have
never given finer displays.

» THE PRESIDENT, the Grandest Red Canna in Existence

Height, 4 feet. In color, a rich, glowing scarlet, and the immenee, firm ruunded flowers, 7 inches across
when open, are produced on strong, erect stalks well above the large, rieh green loliage. "The President" ia
superior to any other red variety in the quantity and also quality of bloom, and the firm flowers resist drought
and heat to a remarkable degree. A large bed of this variety was planted on the grounds of the Washington
Monument, Washington, D. C. Another "President" Canna bed was on the Garden Pier at Atlantic City,
while several more were to be seen in the largest public parks in this country where these beautiful flowers
received the unqualified admiration of every Canna lover. Naturally, a Irem'^tdmis demand has been created.
Strong roots ready now. Plants early in April. Price, §2.00 per 10, S15.00 per 100, $125.00 per 1000.

(Extract from the "Florist's Review," September 28, 1919).

"I have been much impressed with some of the new Cannas that I have tried this Sum •
mer, and cannot refrain from mentioning two. These are The President and Snow Queen-
President is by all odda the best red Canna today, larger and better than Firebird and a free
bloomer; the foliage is strong and does not burn, as does that of Firebird. Those who have
tried Firebird and lamented that it would not do on account of diseased foliage will rejoice to
know that at last we have a Canna that is 'right.' " — Floyd Bralliar. "The most sensational
iotroduction of recent years." — From another firm'a catalog.

opinion, lower than it is likely to be for
some years to come.

AVe are now looking forward to the
coming Jlidsummer and Fall season, and
hope that the general conditions will be
somewhat settled so we may all experience
a good Fall trade.

The increase in this year's prices by
the French bulb growers seems to be
looked npon with varying opinions, one
being to the effect that the French grow-
er does it because he has a legitimate rea-
son. Purchasers are advised to look at
things quietly until they see whose ox is
gored. Some dealers have contracted
for their needs at guaranteed prices and
their only worry is that their quota may
be cut down; still they feel safe, as their
dealings are with reputable houses. One
large dealer can see no indications of
price raises that troubles him.

All in all Boston is not at all excited
over the present aspect of the French
bulb situation.

The Publicity Committee is very anx-
ious to resume the national advertising at

the earliest possible time. Every week
lost now diminishes the prestige obtained
through the previous work of the canH
paign. The condition of the florist trad^

j just now would seem to suggest that
strong publicity effort should be put forth]
and without delay. With the many probjl
lems now calling for consideration among
our vast public, flowers are not likely t^

^ come to mind as a media for the carria©
of sentiment unless reminders of theit
use are constantly appearing. The con^

I mittee, therefore, urges the necessity of

. personal subscriptions from the trade tp
enable them to continue their work. Anj
florist who has not alrendv subscribed
will benefit himself as well as the entire
industry, by sending in to the secretary

t such amount as he feels he can afford — the
sooner the bettei-.

The Florists' Exchange

Batavia, N. Y.

All the local florists had a good Moth-
er's Day business, selling everything sal-
able in the way of Carnations, and con-
siderable of other stock. The weather
was ideal. This is bound to be one of
the biggest days for the florists' trade.

Gustav Noack has joined the Florists
Telegraph Delivery Association. He is
rcadv to fill your orders, brothers.

On Main St. at the head of Jackson, on
the roof of one of the business blocks, a
number of electric signs have been erected,
we are pleased to say that L. C. Stroh
has his advertisement among them. The
slogan "Say it with Flowers" and the
name Stroh" are very conspicuous.

AsTHUE A. Kjechhoff.

Lancaster, Pa.

May 7. — Mother's Day proved a much
bigger day lor cut flowers than either
Easter or Christmas in this city and owing
to the fact that the supply of cut flowers
ran short and the prices high, quite a few
plants were sold as well.

Prices varied some, but not enongh for
comment, as the cool and wet weather
of the month previous to this date had
not put the surplus of flowers mto the
market that is usual for April and prices
had not taken the tumble that they often
do This made it easier for the retailer
to get S3 a doz. tor Carnations that had
not reached a lower level than $1 a doz.
before this date. The crowded condition
of the flower stores all day Saturday made
it self-evident that the demand was ab-
normal and a very little explanation was
needed to show the customer that the in-
crease in price was only a normal one and
a natural condition of trade.

Anything and everything sold, from a
bunch of humble Pansiea to the repl,
high priced orchids; in plants the prefer-
ence seemed to be something that could be
used for outdoor bedding. Geraniums and
Ten Week Stocks seemed to have the
preference and these were followed by
single white Daisies and then down
through the regular category of plants.

The markets were not overstocked with
either flowers or plants, but the Kohrers
had a wonderfuUy fine lot of the three
plants most in demand and sold them as
fast as three men could handle them.
Their business reminded one of a chain
system in an efficiency factory, only this
chain had but three links, sale, wrap,
hand to customer, but, by golly, it ran
fast

Apropos of the grower, there is con-
siderable criticism of his methods for
these special days, and some of it is justi-
fied but most of it is not. The grower who
supplies stores direct and quotes them a
certain price, and then raises four to sev-
en dollars a 100 on his quotation when it
comes to delivering the goods, may be
a good grower, but he certainly is not a
Bood business man.

On the other hand, taking, for example,
St Louis, where Carnations were sold
two dozen for 25c. a few weeks back to
get rid of them. If, as the grower claims,
it costs five cents each to produce a Oar-
nation, can you blame the grower tor get-
ting all the market will bear for Moth-
er's Day to help cover the deficit of the
month previous. j iv

If the millenium were here and this
world were one big community, each work-
ing for the happiness and welfare of the
other, then, perhaps, the retailer and the
grower would get together and the re-
tailer would say to the grower, "Now this
Carnation has cost you five cents to pro-
duce, I will pay you six cents for it, then
on Mother's Day, the grower would say
to the retailer, "This Carnation has cost me
five cents to produce, you can have it for
six cents." Will they ever do it!
In Lancaster County Dutch we would say
"Aier nit." In other words, "I guess not.

One man here who grows most of his
stock and knows what it costs to produce
it, refused to buy Carnations at the $15
a 100 rate with the result that he did not
have a Carnation for sale after 5 p.m. In
fact, the stores were practically sold out
before 6 o'clock.

Walter Mott spent a few days in Lan-
caster the past week, and while he, per-
haps did not sell the entire output of
the Hammond factory, he sold a good
part of it in this district.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

May 9. — The demand for flowers of all
kinds for Mother's Day far exceeded the
supply, with the exception of American
Beauty Koses. Of course, the principal
demand was for Carnations, but when
these could not be had, anything reason-
able in price cleaned up quickly, and when
the wholesale houses closed Saturday even-
there was nothing in sight but a few
Beauty.

With the small Carnation supply, it
was simply a case of divide them up
among the trade and see that each got
some, but it was impossible to give any
one all they wanted, and most of the re-
tail stores were sold out on advance or-
ders and h5,d none left for sale on Saturday.
There was a good many Carnations sent
in that had been held too long and that
were not fit to send out on orders and
that had to be sold at reduced prices.

Roses were in heavy supply and were of
good quality, but as usual there was too
many of the better grade and not enough
of the medium and short lengths, but after
the the meditmis and shorts were gone, it
did not take long to dispose of the better
grades. The varieties included Premier,
Columbia, Butterfly, Pilgrim, Ophelia,
Dimlop, Sunburst, Ward, Richmond, Hil-
da and Pink and White Eallarney.

Snapdragon proved a favorite this year
and large quantities of it was disposed
of. Easter Lilies and Callas cleaned up
early at good prices, and more of both
could have been sold. Gladioli was also
in demand, and some of the finest ever
seen in this section was on sale at all the
wholesale houses.

The Sweet Pea supply was small, but
the quality was better than it has been for
some time.

The call for Valley was greater than
the supply; most orders had to be cut in
two and orchids sold well at good prices.
Other offerings included Daisies, both
vellow and white; Calendula, Iris, Poeti-
eus Narcissus and Stocks, all of which
cleaned up early.

Simiming up the business, it was more
than satisfactory, showing a volume as
good or better than last year, and while
with the exception of Carnations, prices
were not as high as a year ago, still they
were high enough to make the grower feel
good and low him to show a profit.

There were a few complaints on the
high price of Carnations, but as a rule
those who wanted Carnations and noth-
ing else paid the price asked without ques-
tion.

From now on the trade will be getting
ready for the last special day of this sea-
son. Memorial Day, and from all indica-
tions it will be the largest on record.
News Jottings

Joseph Home Co., one of Pitts-
burgh's largest department stores, put in
a special Mother's Day window, the cen-
tral figure of which was a wax figure of
mother accepting an armful of flowers
from a child. It was very well done and
caused a lot of favorable comment, and
there is no doubt but what the window
was a good advertisement for the_ florist.
The only thing wrong was that white Car-
nations were the flowers that were used.
J. R. Shields, formerly of Boston, Mass.,
has joined the force of the A. W. Smith
Flower Stores Co. Mr. Shields will be
connected with the Landscape Depart-
ment.

The monthly meeting of the Retail Flo-
rists Association was held Thursday even-
ing, Mav 5, at the Seventh Avenue Ho-
tel. An election of officers for the fol-
lowing year was to have been held, but
■was postponed till the next meeting due
to a small attendance.

Friday and Saturday found more out
of town florists in Pittsburgh than there
has been for some time. They were all
afraid to trust their Mother's Day flow-
ers to the express company and came m
person to get them so there would be no
possible delay.

Pete Hopman of New Galilee, Pa., has
been cutting some fine Snapdragon which
he is shipping to The McCallum Co. Pete
hit Mother's Day with the largest cut of
the season. E. C. Tipton.

Montreal, Que.

Mother's Day business up to time of
writing, bids fair to exceed any previous
year. The large volume o"f flowers dis-
tributed to the flower loving public seems
to denote that flowers are almost a neces-
sity. The balmy, bree;:^-. Spring weather
is responsible for an abundance of flowers
and the people taking advantage of the
moderate prices prevailing to buy in
larger quantities. Not only Carnations
but Roses and other stock found favor
and sold readily.

I have to record the death of an old
landscape gardener. James Milloy died
at the age of 77 years. A native of
County Kildare, Ireland, he came to
Montreal as a boy in 1853, became a gar-
dener, later developing considerable skill
in landscape work. Among his best work
was the laying out of the original grounds
of the McGill University and the Mount
Bruno Estate. He died at the residence
of his son-in-law, Mr. Collins, after a brief
illness.

The funeral of the late C. J. Hill, flo-
rist, took place on Tuesday, May 3, at
Mount Royal Cemetery. The Anglican
Church service was conducted by Bro.
Canon E. P. Shetford with full Masonic
rites. Several florists attended the
funeral.

The monthly meeting of the Gardeners
and Florists Club was held on Monday
evening. May 2, Vice-president T. Hill in
the chair. A very interesting talk was
given by Will Hall on his recent visit to
the New York Spring show.

In describing the various sections of
the show Mr. Hall, who, by the way, is
very observant, told how in New York
they do things big. They have a big hall,
some fine specimen plants and cut flowers
galore. Vase after vase filled with lovely
Roses, which the exhibitors used in pro-
fusion. In the Sweet Pea section, Mr.
Kerr, who represented W. Atlee JBurpee &
Co., showed him some very fine Sweet
Peas, and Mr. Hall is thinking of trying
out some of the new sorts.

Those members who were absent from
the meeting missed a great treat. A vote
of thanks was accorded Mr. Hall for the
paper read. Mount Royal.

General Nevirs

A special meeting of the Gardeners
and Florists Association was held at Sir
-John Eaton's on Monday, Mav 2, with
President F. D. Clark in the chair. The
special business was a discussion of the
prize list of the show to be held in No-
vember. This occupied the whole even-
ing. At another meeting the prize list
at the Canadian National Exhibition will
be reported upon.

S. A. Frost has added a new delivery
car which is labeled "The Flower Car."

The grounds and greenhouses of Sir
John Eaton were open to the public on
May 7.

"The Flower Shop" is a playlet at
Lowe's Theatre this week, the artists
showing how to "Say it with Flowers."

J. J. Higgins and G. M. Geraghty took
in the Buffalo Club banquet on April 29.

Mrs. Percy Waters, Danforth ave., has
been busy, there being a good demand for

L. Waters was a recent visitor to Ham-
ilton.

Mrs. Moore was at Buffalo recently.

A beautiful display of Calceolaria from

S. A. Frost spent a short holiday at his

W. G. Warren had some beautiful win-
dow displays during the fortnight pre-
vious to Mother's Day. Central features
of the display were copies of famous pic-
tures of "llother" and handpainted cards.
Fancy baskets of beautiful Roses, Car-
nations, Daffodils and Pansies, surrounded
them, giving a fine effect against a back-
ground of ferns and palms.

Toronto F. T. D. Chairmen Meet

The chairmen of Toronto F. T. D.
committees were invited to the apart-
ment of George M. Geraghty on May 3
and there was a full attendance. H. G.
Dillemuth, general chairman, reported that
W. W. Gammage, London, had consented
to act as general chairman for Canada
outside of Toronto. As the convention

was to be held in Toronto, it was neces-
sary to have local committees as well as
general committees as it would be an
expensive proposition to get the Canadian
F. T. D. members together now. A Ust
of chairmen of various districts has been
drawn "up and letters are being sent out
asking them to act. It is hoped that
there will be a general response and that
all will cooperate with Mr. Gammage and
the local committees to give visitors to
the Canadian F. T. D. meeting a real Ca-
nadian welcome.

The committee wish Canadian florists
generally to know that all florists, whether
members of the F. T. D. or not, will be
welcome to the meeting. Plans are being
made on the basis of an attendance of
1000.

Mr. Dillemuth reported that all sessions
would be held in the new convention hall
of the King Edward Hotel.

S. A. !McFadden gave the tentative pro-
gram, which is subject to the F. T. D.
president's O. K. If carried out, the vis-
itors may expect a real live convention for
three full days.

G. M. Geraghty reported that 15,000
folders had been supplied to the Canadian
National Telegraph and that one would
be put in every telegram sent out dur-
ing the week previous to Mother's Day.
On an average, there are 3000 telegrams
per day sent out from the Toronto of-
fice. For other holidays, the telegraph
service will be advertised in every Cana-
dian city or town where there is an
F. T. D. member.

Following the meeting the members were
royally entertained to dinner by Mr.
Geraghty, to whom a unanimous vote of
thanks was enthusiastically tendered.

Canada at Iiarge

C. J. Hill, a Montreal florist, is
dead.

Mr. Rawlings, Nelson, B. C, gave a pa-
per on floriculture before the Women's
Institute recently. Seeds were distributed
for use for show purposes at the annual
flower show.

Mr. Ferguson of New York has been ap-
pointed manager of W. C. Hall's store at
Montreal.

Miss Newbury, who has been with Eddy
& Sons, Montreal, was married recently.

C. Weeks, Montreal, has been ill with
pneumonia.

Tha "ilay 2 meeting of the Gardeners
and Florists Association was the last of
the season. H. E. Groves opened a dis-
cussion on buying and selling.

Edward J. Gale, manager of the retail
store of John Cannon Co., and Mrs. Gale
were visited by the stork recently. Ed
says his young son will develop into a
great florist some day.

C. W. Morton & Son opened a new
flower store in Welland on April 29. Mr.
Norton served seven years apprenticeship'
at Cornhill, London, England. For 15
years he was at Buckingham Palace as de-
signer. In 1905 he came to the Dale es-
tate at Brampton, where he spent 15
vears. For the past year he was with
Reford IMcClure at Chatham. G. C. K.

National Rose Society (British)

Judging by reports, the Spring show
of this society entirely lacked exhibits of
commercial blooms, the exhibition being
made up with displays by Rose growing
nurserymen {plant producers) and ama-
teurs. * Wlien may we expect to see retail
Rose plant growers making displays on
similar lines? Why should the Rose forcer
alone be left to make displays with little
or no prospect of gain, imless he handles
dormant plants as a side line? As a rule,
however, the commercial Rose grower
handles few varieties, so that the public
has little opportunity of seeing a great
variety of sorts suitable for outdoor plant-
ing, it is worth noting that the leadmg
table decoration at the London show was
won with pink Ophelia. Presumably thii?
is another sport of the popular Ophelia.
Novelties that gained awards were: Padre,
H T, after the style of Mme. Herriot,
G. M.; Phoebe, H. T., creamy white, said
to show everv indication of being a first
class market Rose, G. M.; and Sovereign,
an apricot tinted Pernetiana. All were
shown by B. R. Cant & Son. The famous
Irish firms were entirely absent, doubt-
less due to the uncertain conditions.

Fit the Plant to the Place

What is the best way to keep people interested in growing trees and plants around their homes and,
consequently, in buying niore and more nursery stock? How about constantly emphasizing and
illustrating the easy ways to get results and steering clear of the difiiculties and unnecessary strug-
gles that often discourage even though they may not lead to actual failure? This may not be the
one best method of maintaining a demand, but it is a mighty good one. The following article sug-
gests one way to apply it.

ONE of the first considerations in successful farm-
ing is the choice of crops with reference to the
soil, elevation, climate and other natural features
of the farm in question. The farmer who ignores or
overlooks it is at once laying up trouble and probable
loss for himself. Now if it means so much on a farm,
where it is expected that each crop will receive maxi-
miun attention, how much more desirable is this selec-
tion of well adapted "crops" for the
ornamentation of home grounds or
a park or estate where the less labor
and expense that have to be provided
in keeping trees and shrubs and flow-
ers in good condition, the better?
Moreover, these "crops" are destined
to remain in one place for many
years, perhaps during successive gen-
erations; how much more important
then, that they shall be suited to the
location than in the case of annual
plants for which something better
may be substituted the next season.

Choose Suitable Material

The moral is, of course, that one
should choose for planting around
his house those materials that are
naturally fitted for that immediate
site. This advice sounds as though
it should be directed at the consum-
ing public rather than the nursery-
man, but the truth is that so many
of the former don't know how or
what to choose that it devolves upon
the latter to do it for them. After
all it is well within the field of the
man who sells trees and shrubs, to
advise what can and what cannot be
planted in a certain place with good
chance of success. Sometimes, of
course, there is no opportunity given
you to use your judgment; the plan
has been made by the landscape ar-
chitect, and the nurseryman's job is
simply to supply and plant what is
called for. On the other hand, when
the whole question of layout and choice of materials
is put up to the nurseryman — as it most often is in the
case of the small, moderate priced place — he is con-
fronted by a task that calls for the exercise not only
of taste and artistic ability, but also of the horticul-
tural knowledge of plants and their preferences. Here-
in the nurseryman is handed a more complicated prob-
lem than that of the interior decorator, whose limiting
factors are simply color schemes and the price allowed.

The problem of plant adaptations is one in which
a thorough grounding in practical, botanical horticulture
is of great value. (Score a couple of runs here in favor
of a good practical college training for the nursery-
man). But to an almost equal extent it is a matter of
careful observation of conditions as they are found in
Nature. What do you know of your local flora, or
rather, that of the territory you endeavor to serve?
What trees and plants grow most profusely there? What
plants have you rarely if ever seen there? What do
these things tell you about the soil and drainage and
moisture conditions there? And to what extent do you
try to imitate Nature or follow her lead by setting out
from your stocks, plants that are more or less closely
related to those already native to the section you are
working in?

Observe Nature's Own Plantings

One of the old theories of ornamental planting was,
apparently, to get as far away from the natural growth

of a region as possible. If it was the desire of the owner
to create a museum of exotic subjects, a collection of
unrelated freaks and peculiarities, this was a satisfactory
system. But the latter aim has fortunately given way
today to a sincere desire to create natural,, really beau-
tiful and harmonious effects. For such effects one can
do no better than to fall back on native materials and
arrange them so far as possible in the same ways that

Paulownia imperialis, a Salt-resisting Tree for Seashore Properties

These two trees were moved a year before the photograph was taken and have since become thoroughly established
within a few hundred yards of the ocean. They fit the type of house, the soil, the cUmate and the location in every
respect — therefore they are a success. Why don't nurserymen always give attention to this problem of plant adapta-
tion ? There's money in it.

may be seen where man's hand has not had an opportu-
nity to meddle.

If Oaks grow wild on a property it means that there
is something about the soil or the subsoil or the tem-
perature or the topography there that Oaks like. Don't
suggest cutting them out, therefore, and replacing them
with Elms or Maples, but instead, fill in other obvious
gaps with more Oaks of the same or closely related
species. And if Pine seedlings are seen to spring up
readily, follow the line of least resistance by planting
more Pines and, in among them, to thicken up the tim-
ber belt or to increase the woodland effect, scatter Hem-
locks, Barberry, Beach, Plum, Hazel, Low Blueberry
and such other plants as you may have seen growing
in the company of Pines on those or similar lands.
There's nothing to be gained by trying to jam square
horticultural pegs into round holes; the job of trying to
make a plant grow under conditions that it dislikes is
a long, difficult and unprofitable one. It is enough to
discourage any hopeful but inexperienced purchaser of
nursery stock.

Alkaline and Acid Soils

The matter of soil acidity is of paramount importance
in this connection. Extensive investigations have been
made into the resistant properties of different farm and
garden crops with respect to lime and acidity, and their
results have been of great help to growers. Yet with
much of the same sort of knowledge about trees and

shrubs available at the cost of a little reading and orig-
inal study of our surroundings, many of us go on trying
to make Chestnuts, Rhododendrons, Laurel and Blueber-
ries grow on sweet limestone soil where nature would
never attempt to plant them, and Elm, Ash, Hawthorne
and Roses where, to the trained eye, the land simply
oozes with sourness.

Did you ever notice the difference between the result
of the decaying of leaves and other "ground cover" ma-
terial in a low, moist forest and that in a cleared, well-
drained, limestone country upland? In the former case
you will find an accumulation of brown fibrous, peaty
material — just the stuff in which to plant Azaleas, Moun-
tain Laurel, Blueberries for both looks and fruit and
even the fussy little Mayflower or Trailing Arbutus.
That is a sign of an acid condition. The residue out in
the open, on the other hand, where the drainage is good,
is dark, even black, and powdery — that indicates a sweet
soil, and there fruits, most flowering plants and the
trees that prefer dry feet will thrive.
Don't fight these facts — they've got
Nature back of them, and against
Nature you stand about as much
show in an argument as Charlie
Chaplin would stand in a champion-
ship match agaainst Jack Dempsey.
Have you a block of Swamp White
Oak to get rid of? Offer it to pos-
sible customers who live on a fairly
heavy soil or one underlain with
hardpan, not a gravelly type. Is your
client situated in a valley where the
soil is rich and deep and the mois-
ture supply assured? Suggest to him
Plane 'Trees and Poplars, or, for the
margins of really wet land. Willows.
Would you receive good reports ot
the Norway Maples that you sell?
See that they are located, so far as
possible on open, sandy bottoms, dis-
tributing your Red Oaks — if you have
any — among the purchasers who can
provide a somewhat moister medium.

Subject for Seaside Planting

Then there is the seashore prob-
lem. What plants can you offer that
you knoiti will withstand the salt
air? As a suggestion there is
Paulownia imperialis shown in the
accompanying illustration, the two
trees depicted having been moved to
their present locations near South-
ampton, Long Island, the year before
the picture was taken. Not only will
this subject withstand the salt air,
but also, near the sea where more
moderate temperatures can be expected, it is much more
likely to escape the Winter killing of its flower buds
and thus be enabled to supplement its attractive foliage
effect with its large, pale violet flowers Avhich, like ra-
cemes of huge Foxglove blossoms, open in advance of
the massive leaves. Inland and north of New York City,
it is less likely to blossom but even as far north as Mon-
treal the plant is of value as a semi-herbaceous sub-
ject, strong stems often twelve or fourteen feet tall and
bearing leaves a foot or more in length arising each
Spring and being cut down by frost each Fall.

On Long Island, it is said, the plant may occasionally
be killed back once during its first two or three years;
after that, it is usually good for fifty or sixty years, in
which time it becomes the handsome, well-formed, Catal-
pa-like tree shown in the picture. Not far from these
specimens was successfully established a planting of
Andromeda, another salt air resister. For these plants,
however, there had to be brought in to replace the light
southern Long Island sand, considerable quantities of
rotting leaves and other acid soil material, such as Laurel
and similar plants as well as Andromeda love.

One final hint regarding the planting of shore proper-
ties : Where strong, relentless sea breezes tend to destroy
or prevent the establishment of plantings, dry out the
soil and play hob generally, a dense windbreak or pro-
tecting hedge developed to the height of perhaps 12ft.,
and located some 100 feet back from the actual begin-

As printed in several issues prior to this one, the
Flanders Poppies are now in this country, 5,000,000
artificial flowers liaving been received in the city of
New York this week. These are to be distributed
throughout the country, organizations for the relief
of the French orphans and other war worthy causes
taking charge of their distribution and sales.

"Phil'' Foley's striking advertising phrase this week,
"Chateau Thierry adds its memories to Gettysburg to
make more universal the observance of Memorial
Day," suggests that this always notable Eed Letter
Day has been replenished in sentiment. Its conse-
quent greater observance, to again quote Mr. Foley,
"means more flowers — more and niore each year."

Our front cover design represents a Grand Army
of the Republic wreath and was designed by Gude
Bros. Co. of Washington, D. C. It is comjiosed of
Immortelles, Asparagus Plumosus, Cycas palms and
Magnolia leaves. Immediately under the top of the
wreath will be noticed the design of an eagle, plainly
outlined, lower down are two cannons with cannon
balls resting on their surface, then the American flag
in a central position, at the bottom of which is a flve-
pointed star.

This design in its conception is certainly noble and
dignified as well as graceful and artistic iu every line.

High Freight Charges and Bad Packing

High freight charges are a sore point with everyone
but while at some future date these may be revised,
the question of damage to goods through bad packing
is a matter that only the shippers themselves can
rectify.

It is a notorious fact that large numbers of men
who can gi'ow good plants have little or no concep-
tion of what constitutes good packing and, because of
this, their efforts at shipping to distant points are
lamentable in the extreme.

This subject is pointedly discussed in the following
letter :
Editor The Florists' Ei-cliange:

Hapfiening in on a neighboring florist the other day,
I found him busy unpacking a shipment of Boston
ferns and. as they were nice thrifty stock, I became
somewhat interested and inquired as to cost and
where they came from. I was told they cost about
13c. each and came from our adjoining State, Ohio,
and that the express rates were nearly $.S or half the
value uf the plants.

My own experiences have been the same, as I paid
last Winter $1.S1 express charges on -50 2i4in. stock.
Another member of the trade assured me last .Spring
he was through Iniying in stock from outside, simply
on account of high express rates, bad packing, and
lack of judgment iu selecting cases.

Apparently, it would seem as if a correspondence
school course for florists' packers is in order, for cer-
tainly there is much to be desired in the average flo-
rists' methods of packin,g. In these da.vs, when it is
so desirable to eliniinate all extra costs and losses in
k'ansportatiou and cut the costs of production, the
greatest care should be taken to see that all goods for
freight and express, are properly packed in suitable
cases, so that the buyers are neither annoyed by ex-
cessive charges or breakages. Certainly there is little
sense and no satisfaction in working for months to
produce a nice plant, only to be damaged through
imperfect packing.

I expect it would stagger the trade if it could be
ascertained the amount annually lost to the growers
and retailers arising from bad packing and unsuitable
containers.

The Future of Mother's Day

Here is a Florist's Opportunity, a True Egg-
laying Goose What is the Trade Going to Do

Kill It or Care for It? The Part the Public Plays

THERE is no happier analogy to Mother's Day as
it affects the florist trade than the famous,
fabled goose that took to the commendable habit
of laying a golden egg each day. All went well until
her owner decided not to wait for the daily addition
to his store, but to get to the heart — or stomach— of
the matter at once and seek out the entire source by
killing the goose and doing a little gold mining in its
interior.

Under normal circumstances, and provided it is
legitimately promoted. Mother's Day can be counted
on to insure a big day's business and a big opportunity
to talk about flowers and popularize their purchase
year after year. As one of our correspondents says,
"it will take much more than a recommendation from
the original promoters to discourage the use of flowers
for this occasion."

The whole question — or rather the largest single
feature of it — is. Will the trade, from grower to re-
tailer, be content with the nominal profits and other
benefits offered, or is it going to attempt to squeeze
the orange dry on every octasion, charge all the traffic
will bear (and then some) for as long as they can,
and thereby cut the throat of their goose and put a
stop to its laying activities forever?

Our opinion and confident belief is that the great
majority of florists in all branches have never deliber-
ately charged unwarranted prices for Carnations or
any other flower on Mother's or any other special occa-
sion, nor do they contemplate such procedure. Never-
theless, there ma.v have been a few isolated cases of
such extortion — and it takes but a little profiteering
to make a big smell and arouse a big noise of protest.
We seriously question, however, the existence of such
widespread extravagant prices as some of the news-
paper stories of the past week would lead one to think
were almost universal.

But there are other factors of which the importance
and effect must not be overlooked. In the first place,
despite the commendable campaign to make every
flower a suitable tribute for Mother's Day, the white
Carnation remains, by some curious exercise of crowd
psychology, the desired bloom. The result is a tre-
mendously augmented demand for a couple of days,
a demand that it is practically impossible to supply
without planting a far greater number of white Car-
nations than could economically be disposed of dur-
ing the rest of the season. In other words some short-
age is predestined, and some increase in price, both
wholesale and retail, is as certain to accompany a
shortage as thunder is sure to follow lightning.

When, as has occurred this year, dull, cool, rainy
weather holds back the blooms and still further cur-
tails the supply, the price automatically goes just that
much higher notwithstanding the ideas of producer
and consumer as to what is a justifiable figure. In
other words, the buying public, whether it realizes it
or not. plays an important part in establishing prices
even as the seller plays his part.

Moreover, so long as there are people in the big
cities who are willing to pay outlandish prices for the
commodities that strike their fancy, so long will they
and not the normal consumers determine to what
heights prices will soar. Theatrical managers this
past season tried the audacious and almost unheard
of scheme of charging $5 apiece for orchestra seats
for shows of only moderate worth. Were they boy-
cotted and their theatres deserted in consequence?
Not much 1 Sensible folk, who refused to submit to
such treatment, stayed away and either gave voice to
their protests or remained silent. But there remained
plenty who, whether they said anything or not, meekly
or hiiariously trooped to the box offices and cast down
their ?.5 bills in huge numbers.

If people exist — and they do — who will pay a dollar
apiece for Carnations simply because they want 'em.
no matter what the shortage, why. it is futile for the
florist or the grower, or the Department of Justice,
or any one else, to say that "Carnations shall not bring
more than 35c. apiece." The public can blame the
florists all it likes — but it would accomplish more by
plucking the note of extravagance out of the eyes of
certain of its own more irresponsible members.

Our friend Albert JI. Herr of Laucaster remarks
that "If. as the grower claims, it costs five cents each
to produce a Carnation" and if. as happened a few
weeks ago. the flowers were so numerous in St. Louis
that they were bringing only 23e. for two dozen. "Can
you blame the grower for getting all the market will
"bear for Mother's Day to help cover the deficit of the
month previous?"

Of course you can't, nor anyone else. But it is up
to the trade to get together and devise ways and

means to prevent the two dozen for a quarter condi-
tion, no less than the one dollar apiece situation.
Xeither is fair, neither will endure it the trade and
the public so determine. The need is for more light

sides may know the facts, both sides cooperate to
meet the situation as it develops, and both sides stand

will be given in both directions, so that good products

as to what can and should be done to meet this situa-

sincere views and opinions that will lead us some-

"Every Member Get a Member"

At the meeting of the S. A. F. executive board in
Washington. D. C. January last, an extended discussion
of the membership problem took place. Numerous sug-
gestions were offered. President Roland favoring one
big push on the part of the whole membership, directed
by a membership committee. Mr. Asmus suggested that
every director, both elected and affiliated, assume the
responsibility of bringing in at least ten new members.
The latter suggestion was adopted, and immediately
242 new annual members and five life members were
pledged. --V motion was then made and carried that a
membership committee of five be appointed with power
to add to their number, to induce each member of the
societj' to get one new member by next August.

The action taken at Washington has now crystal-
lized and, as will be noticed in another column, J. F.
.immann, who has been made chairman of the S. A. F.
membership committee, outlines the opening of the
campaign and has already started a Western tour in
addition to preparing propaganda material for uni-
versal use throughout the country, giving necessary
particulars, copies of which can be obtained on appli-
cation to that gentleman. Additionally, all the flo-
rists' clubs and allied societies are asked to appoint
local committees to take this membership work in
hand. For the city of New York the membership ap-
pointed by Pres. Hendrickson of the New York Flo-
rists Club is as follows: Frank Traendly, chairman;
A. T. De La Mare, Chas. H. Totty, Emil Schloss, F. L.
Atkins, W. R. Cobb, Wm. H. Siebrecht. Jr., with A. L.
Miller and John Young, ex-officio. A meeting of this
committee is to be called at an early date.

An attempt is to be made to double the membership
of the S. A. F. and O. H. in 90 days, the drive start-
ing May 15 and ending on the day of the opening of
the national convention at Washington, D. C, Tues-
day, Aug. 16 next.

The Exchange itself, having been a continuous and
enthusiastic adherent of the S. A. F. and O. H. since
1890, feels more than ordinary interest in the success
of the present membership movement. When we re-
alize all that has been done for trade benefit in the
past few years by this parent society of ours, of the
extremely limited memliership that it has enjoyed up
to quite recently, and which at the present moment is
not within 50 per cent of the membership it should
have, it does seem passing strange that so many re-
main outside the fold, voluntarily placing themselves
at a disadvantage with their fellows in that they are
unable to participate in many of the activities which
would make for their commercial as well as social
uplift. They voluntarily deprive themselves of the
pleasures of helping their brothers and their com-
munity, and advancing the cause of fioriculture gen-
erally: indirectly, they cannot help but be gainers
through the activities of the parent society but equally
so they cannot share in the pleasure of being con-
tributing members in so good a cause.

The Floeists" Exchange feels a reasonable pride
in being made a member of the New York committee
and will be only too glad to use its every effort toward
obtaining a large membership. Readers who are de-
sirous of becoming allied with the best society which
has ever been organized for the benefit of the florist
and the many allied lines of business which are con-
nected with that industry, are requested to send in
their names to any of the gentlemen composing the
membership committee. They are also requested to
note that this is not a New York City or a New York
State enterprise, but national in its widest sense.

More Complications in the Bulb Business

Life, for the American bulb handler (this meaning
forcer, importer and retailer), is filling nicely into the

disgusted cowboy's definition — ^"just oue d thing

after another."

Last year Dutch prices took to skyrocketing; the
Hollauders refused or were unable to listen to protests
or suggestions and a deadlock resulted. Or, rather,
Americau buyers practically stopped buying and the
trade and the public got along as best they could with
what was on hand and was available at nominal fig-
ures or a moderate advance. The sequel appears to be
normal prices for this year, at which interests on both
sides the water may well be pleased, since they will
make possible continued profitable trading.

Now, according to scattering reports, tlie spirit of
uplift has gotten into the French bulb producers, who
have announced as their 1921 prices, figures that
literally are taking the breath away from those over
here who expected to buy. "Expected" is used ad-
visedly, for it appears that some importers, at least,
are going to let slide the opportunity to confirm their
tentative orders. In short they are going to "get
along n-ithout French bulbs entirely," since, according
to their survey of the situation, it would be Impossible
to sell the stock on the generally declining U. S. mar-
ket of 1921 at prices that the quoted figures would
necessitate.

Now whether this is going to mean a repetition of
last year's program, with the French growers taking
the place of the recalcitrant Dutchmen, we are not
prepared to say. There are some who profess to be-
lieve that the strong pressure of an informal boy-
cott, a commercial "cold shoulder" as it were, is the
only effective febrifuge when the price temperature
goes mounting to impossible heights.

On the other hand, recent long delayed rains may
so brighten the French growers' prospects that they
will revise their estimates and substitute a more ac-
ceptable range of prices before the open season for
ordering ends. Certainly there is no use trying to do
business when the starting point, as represented by
the growers' price, is such that the final retail figures
are bound to be far out of reach of the common people.

As usual (though we haven't mentioned it lately)
we see as the only real preventive of such unfortunate
situations, an American Charnber of Horticulture^
representative, broad-minded and authorized to deal
with and discuss problems witli similar organizations
in other lands.

Prowling Garden Robbers

Coincidental with our recent remarks concerning
the wanton ravaging of suburban gardens, The Rural
New Yorker published the following. As might be ex-
pected, our esteemed contemporary is no advocate of
the velvet glove for dealing with the class of people
who appear to look upon the countryside as a legiti-
mate field for obtaining something for nothing.

The Bronx Home News recently printed the follow-
ing "society note" :

While out motoring near Albany recently, Stuart
Harris reports finding, much to his surprise, Gustave
Glatzmeyer, Secretary of the Borough, who was in an
out-of-the-way country road chasing a young pig. The
latter was just the right size for roasting, and It is
supposed Glatzmeyer intended bringing him down to
the Elks' Club. The young pig escaped.

IMany a pig and hen, many a bushel of apples or
potatoes, many an egg, tons of farm produce, have
gone the way this pig was headed. The pig had legs
to carry him and a squeal to give warning, and he
escaped, but thousands of dollars' worth of farm
produce have been deliberately stolen by these auto

B. Hammond Tracy, Jr.

B. Hammond Tracy, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. B.
Hammond Tracy, Cedar Acres, Wenham, Mass., lost
his life by drowning last week in the Seine River,
lYance, Harry Iselin, son of Henry Iselin, American
banker doing business in Paris, liis companion, at
whose home he was visiting, was drowned at the same
time.

Mr. Tracy was born in Ypsllanti, Mich., and was
25 years of age. His parents came East when he was
quite young so that practically all of his life had been
spent there. He studied at Exeter, N. H., and in 1916
entered Harvard. In February of the following year
he sailed for France with a Harvard contingent and
for two years was with Sections 8 and 10 in the Har-
vard Ambulance Unit. He saw service on the Verdun
front and was in Italy and Salonica. Subsequently,
when he started to qualify in aviation, he was assigned
to the oth Pursuit Group 63S Squadron. On returning
to this country he resumed his studies at Harvard and
was graduated last June.

Mr. Tracy was awarded an American Ambulance
Fellowship, entitling him to study at any college in
France. He went to that country last August, first to
study at Paris, and then to the school of horticulture
at Versailles, and was in line for promotion. He was
an excellent student. Besides his parents, two young
sisters survive him.

Late cablegrams announce that the body has been
recovered and will be sent home for burial.

Mrs. Cora Bell Thompson

Pneumonia resulted in the death at Louisville, on
May 6, of iUrs. Cora Bell Thompson, 59 years of age,
president of C. B. Thompson & Co., retail fiorists of
Louisville, who had been at the head of the concern
since the death of her husband in 1909.

Mrs. Thompson w-as one of that type of women who
are generous to a fault. For many years she was so
charitable that she gave credit freely where It was

nnt desi-r\ed, ;illnwed many iienple to take siii.-ili ad-
vantages of her, and believed in giving unto others
before taking for lierself. In late .vears she took a
little time nIT from business f(M' a few trips, making
niie In ralifornl.'i, another In Flnrida, and generally
llgnriMJ In take mie or mnre triiJS eacli year for the
past two (U' three years.

The writer reuienibers distinctly, a few years ago,
when the ynuiig fellows who did not have established
credit and could not get Hower.s elsewhere, would go
around to see ".\uiit Cora," who would take their
i>rilers and gi\'e tlieni time tn pay the bill. A good
niaiiy of these boys later made good, substantial busi-
ness men, wlio remembered how Mrs. Thompson took
care of them when they were in their teens. It re-
sulted in many a good account that is on the books
today. Of course there were some of these youngsters
who were worthless, and who never paid up, but such
persons would Iiave probably beaten the store sooner
or later, anyhow.

The writer can point out many cases wherein Mrs.
Thompson overlooked his own delinquencies a few
years ago, and how she carried him on the books iu
poor times and good.

Among the'florists Mrs. Thompson had many, many
friends. Jn the first place she was friendly with
every one, didn't recognize other florists as competi-
tors but as friends. There wasn't another florist iu
I<ouisville but what felt friendly to Mrs. Thompson,
and who would as willingly call upon her for a favor
as to fill any order that Mrs. Thompson might call
for. She took no sides in squabbles of any kind, and
always advised every one to get the other side of
arguments and get it right.

Mrs. Thompson was of a type which honored the
floral trade, and her loss is not only a loss to her
family and to Louisville, but to the entire industry,
especially as she always believed in any movement
which was for the advancement and uplift of the
business, even though it would not do her personally
much good.

She is survived by a son, Edwin L. Thompson and
a brother, L. P. Hammers. 0. V. N. S.

David Ires Bushneli

From St. Louis, Mo., comes the report of the death
of David Ives Bushneli, senior member of the D. I.
Bushneli Co., Seed Merchants, and one of the oldest
grain men in that vicinity.

He had been in ill health for some years, and owing
to increased sickness just after his 75th birthday he
entered the Missouri Baptist sanitarium where he
died of bronchial pneumonia on April 29.

Mr. Bushneli was born at Sheffield, Mass., his early
boyhood being spent there. His father was a school-
master. He established the business which bears his
name in 1S72 and was so well respected by all in the
trade, that he was elected president of the Americau
Seed Trade Association in 1894. He traveled exten-
sively and, being a keen archaeologist, he took a great
interest in the St. Louis Archfeological Society of
which he was president.

He was a member of the St. Louis and many other
clubs and was a generous supporter of various chari-
table institutions, including the St. Louis Mothers'
and Babies' Home. A number of orphans under the
care of the mission paid tribute to his remains on
April 30.

The funeral services took place on May 1 from the
house Mr. Bushneli had just purchased, but never
occupied, and a large assembly was present to pay
their last respects to the deceased. The remains will
finally be placed in a mausoleum in Bellefontaine
cemetery.

Many beautiful floral tributes were received from
all parts of the country. The deceased is survived
by one son, Prof. D. I. Bushneli, Jr., of the Smith-
sonian Institution, Wa.shington, D. C., one brother
aged ST, and a nephew.

The surviving partner of the firm, Robt. W. Pommer,
will continue the business.

The Westeru Seedsman's Association, at its annual
meeting in Omaha. Neb., on April 30, passed the fol-
lowing resolution :

In Memoriam

The seed trade sufl'ered a distinct loss in the pass-
ing away of our friend, David I. Bushneli, of St.
Louis, Mo., on April 29.

He was a very active member of many associations
and always had a keen interest in the advancement
of the trade. Few men have had so wide an acquaint-
ance among the seedsmen. Those of us who had
opportunity to enjoy close personal contact with him
appreciate most what a rare type of splendid man-
hood he was and his memory will be cherished for-
ever in our hearts.

His life was a real benediction to all who knew
him. C. C. Massie,

The Washington Convention

Travel Arrangement

That a one and one-half rate of fare for visitors to
the convention in Washington, Aug. 16 to 18, will be
made by the Trunlv Line Associations is now practi-
cally assured. The association covering New York
State (east of and including Buffalo, Niagara Falls,
Suspension Bridge and Sala;manca), New Jersey,
Pennsylvania (east of and including Erie, Oil City,
and Pittsburgh), Delaware, Maryland, District of
Columbia, Virginia, and West Virginia (east of and
including Wheeling, Parkersburg, Kenova, Orange and
Norfolk), has already provided for the selling of tick-
ets on the certificate plan, and the other associations,
without doubt, will fall into line. Identification certi-
ficates will be issued to members by our society,
through the secretary's office, applicable to members
of our organization and dependent members of their
families only, and tickets will be good via the same
route in both directions only. The tickets will be sold
from Aug. 16 to 19, and will be validated at Wash-
ington by agents at the regular ticket offices of the
lines over which the tickets read into Washington,
Aug. 16 to 19, and when validated, the tickets will be
good for return leaving Washington only on the date
of validation, and passengers must reach original
starting point within the transit limit shown on
tickets, but in no case later than midnight of Aug. 21.
One certificate will suffice for each member, and will
include privileges for dependent members of his or her
family; in other words, separate certificates will not
be necessary.

The Trade Exhibition

The list of exhibitors in the Trade Exhibition was
augmented last week by reservations as follows:

United Bulb Growers. New York City.

A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, 111.

The Official Program

The official program covering the convention pro-
ceedings is having the careful attention of those in
whose hands it has been placed, and as at present
drafted, bids fair to eclipse in interest all previous
programs. If any member has a suggestion to make
as to features for the program, he is invited to send
them in to the secretary, and consideration of them
is assured.

The Ladies' S. A. F.

3Irs. George Asmus, Chicago, president of the La-
dies' S. A. F. is sparing no effort to make the assistance
to be rendered by her organization at the convention
highly valuable to the society. Washington is a city
which ladies take delight in visiting, and there is so
much to see there that there is opportunity for a great
deal of service by the ladies of this organization, and
with the help of the Washington local organization of
ladies, every lady visitor will be well entertained and
taken care of while the masculine element are engaged
in convention duties.

The Membership Drive

The drive for a doubling of the society's membership
is now on, and the committee in charge of it is very
hopeful of success. Letters and printed matter are
going out arguing support in this most worthy pro-
ceeding, and every member should make a zealous
attempt to live up to the slogan of the drive, "Every
member get a member."

Members of the society who have mislaid their bills
for dues or neglected to make remittances covering
them are reminded that the society has need of the
funds, especially now that its expenses are provided
for under the budget system, which depends upon this
source for the operating expenses in connection with
its work.

The Cleveland National Flower Show

With a subscription guarantee to this fund of $300
from Max Schling, New York, the fund is closed with
a total of $20,232. Other subscription guarantees to
be reported are the following :

C. D. Mills, Jacksonville, Fla $5.00

Fred A. Lewis, Lockport, N. Y 5.00

August C. Reicher, Michigan City, Ind 10.00

Chas. P. Mueller, Wichita, Kan 100.00

Madsen & Christensen, Wood Ridge, N. J. . . 100.00
A meeting of the local executive committee will be
held in Cleveland on May 19.

The floor plan of the show, including the plan of
the areas available for the trade exhibition to be held

U. S. Chamber of Commerce

The society has been advised of its election to mem-
bership in this important trade body, and we are
called upon for the appointment of a national coun-
sellor to represent the florist industry in the Chamber.
A national counsellor is chairman of the delegations
from his organization at annual and Spring meetings
of the Chamber, and serves in an advisory capacity
to the Chamber's board of directors. His duties are
important, as he becomes an active agent, inquiring
as to the questions vital to his organization that should
be brought before the Chamber, which operates as a
federation of Americatiou business and derives its
vitality as an initiating body from its constituent
members. In the Chamber the Society will have a
valuable aid whenever vigorous and strong backing is
required in any movement of national importance to
our industry. The appointment of a counsellor is now
under consideration by President Roland.

Florists and Coal

Senator Elkins of West Virginia has given warning
that there is likely to be a repetition of last year's
coal famine. The executive as well as the legislative
branches of the Government are deeply concerned over
the existing situation which has been the subject of
discussion at Cabinet meetings and is now before
Congress.

The contributing causes for a likely famine are
three in number. In the first place upward of 200,000
miners are out of employment. Then, the coal buying
public is not laying in its next Winter's supply, despite
the fact that it is claimed coal has reached rock
bottom levels so far as prices are concerned. Thirdly,
the sudden restoration of the coal market and at-
tempt to haul the bulk of the nation's coal in the Fall
and Winter months will place a burden upon the
railroads which they will be unable to adequately
discharge.

It would be to the florists' best interests to lay in
their next Winter's supply of coal now. as by not
doing so they are taking a risk they can ill afford.

It is proposed in bills before Congress to induce the
public to lay in its fuel supply in ample season by
authorizing and directing a reduction of seasonal
freight rates on coal.

Today the demand is quiet because many industries
are not working to the full; too, many householders
rather than pay what they look upon as exorbitant
prices, have determined to sacrifice personal comfort
next Winter.

There are many additional oreanizations T\hich the S. A. F. can
claim sponsorship for, such as the Local Retail and W' holesale Florists'
Associations. The Ladies S. A. F. and Local Auxiliary Societies. The
American Peony, Iris and Orchid Societies, The Canadian Florists'
and Gardeners' Associations, and many others too numerous to men-
tion. Every member of these should be a member of the S. A. F.
and O. H.

Box Leaf Miner

A Simple Remedy for a Serious Pest

Ornamental Box in the vicinity of New York City,
especially on Long Island, is occasionally seriously
injured "by this insect. Its presence is indicated by
more or less irregular, oval swellings on the leaves,
each marking an oval, clear space mined beneath by
one or more pale yellowish white maggots about one-
sixteenth of an Inch long. There may be a slight ele-
vation of the leaf with an irregular yellowish or
brownish discoloration, the margin of the affected
area being Indicated by a darker green. An infested
leaf may contain only one or two miners and show
comparatively little injury or there may be six or
more and a destruction of the larger part of the leaf.
The attack weakens the plant and results In badly
infested leaves dropping in the Spring, leaving un-
sightly bare stems with new leaves developing at the
top. J

This unhealthy condition is produced by a slender ■((
yellowish midge about one-twelfth of an inch long.
The insect Winters in the galls and. the latter part of
May or early in June, escapes directly from the
leaf, leaving a delicate whitish pellicle or skin pro-
truding from the gall. Experiments have shown that
large numbers of these midges may be trapped and
destroyed by spraying the Box with a solution of 4 lbs.
of molasses to 50 gals, of water, making tbe first
application as soon as flies begin to appear, or the
white pellicles are seen protruding from the leaves,
and keeping the foliage sticky for a period of about
two weeks. E. P. FisLT,

Freesias in California

By DAVID GRIFFITHS f

Eastern buyers of Freesias, have in the past,
experienced some difficulty in obtaining their
full requirements from California. David Griffiths
of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Wash., D. C,
herein sheds a little light as to why California
Freesias have, hitherto, been an uncertain factor.

A Question of Handling

From observations made during the past five or six
years. I have rather formed the opinion that the dltK-
ciilty with the Freesia, i( difficulty there be, is due in
ver.\' large measure to the handling. In every day
parlance, poor results are due to poor farming more
than anything else. If you should ask me the same
question about Daffodils and Tulips I would be in-
clined to answer you with almost precisely the same
comment. Our American "extensive" practices do not
appear to fit in with these intensive crops. To do
them well, we shall have to get down to the exactitude
of method employed by the foreigner. This is what
our bulb growers need to learn more than any other
one thing today. We need to appreciate that an added
expense of lifty dollars or more on an acre at a critical
time, miust be met ; it really does not count for much
in a crop where the value of the planting stock is
often greater by several fold than the yield of many
a farm crop.
Where the Bulbs Are Grown

But to get back to the Freesia in particular. The
greater part of the crop is grown in the Santa Cruz
region on heavy soil which seems to produce well but
is difficult to handle. Much of this soil, especially
during such a season as the past one, is poorly drained.
In the absence of a subsoil which takes care of the
surplus water, a surface contour, which induces a
quick run off, is imperative for good results. Many
Freesia patches have I seen in which one would mire
for a considerable period after a rain.

The Weed Question

The eternal weed question is of particular conse-
quence to the grower of this crop and it has been par-
ticularly acute with him the past season. Dtiring the
greater part of the Winter, this heavy soil could not
be worked without puddling. The consequence was
that the weeds could not be attended to in season.
You see the picture. I am firmly of the opinion that
a full planted crop like this can be grown much more
economically and with more certainty on a sandy
loam soil that can be worked a few hours after a
rain. The handling is much more cheaply done, the
drainage takes care of itself, and the fertility can be
made up.

The Importance of Fertility

The one thing which needs to be driven home hard
to the Freesia, as well as other bulb growers, is the
imperative need of heavy fertility. The actual turn
off of merchantable bulbs is close to a quarter of a
million an acre besides a large complement of plant-
ing stock. To produce this crop, there must be present
a large supply of available plant food in the soil and
there must be humus to give the necessary tilth for
best results. Besides this, the fertility must be intelli-
gently added. It will not do to load a soil up with
manure, as is often done, and
plant Freesias right away. If
this is done, disaster will fol-
low as truly as it will with
Daffodils. Fertility must be
present but it must be well
incorporated and is most safe-
ly applied to a previous crop.
Rotation Essential

The matter of rotation is
too often ignored. Freesias
on the same ground for two
consecutive years are often
seen. This will spell disaster
sooner or later, as certainly
as it does with Tulips. In my
opinion, not less than two
years should intervene be-
tween two successive crops of
this bulb.

Unregulated Plantings

A very serious difficulty re-
sults from a lack of a business
organization which can con-
trol hte acreage planted. This,
of course, is not possible but,
from a broad principle of
economy, is highly desirable
if regulated solely to prevent
■losses. We must remember

that the Freesia industry is a mighty small thing. I
renieniln'r a stateuieiit in your columns from a large
^•ruwer to the effect that the acreage in Freesias in
any one year would be only aliout twenty all told. It
certainly is not ."tO per cent more than this. You can
readily see that in communities where land holdings
are small, a high yielding crop like this is mighty
attractive and over production is soon reached, even
by hack yard patches on city lots. The average grower,
eupablo of producing quality goods, becomes dis-
couraged ami neglects his crop if the prospects for
over production obtain, or, quits the business entirely.
The result is demoralization and a loss to the grower,
whether the crop is greater than the demand, or the
goods poorer than the standard as a result of neglect
or inexperience.

Soil the Chief Condition

How this condition can be remedied is not clear to
me, but I am convinced that there is nothing inherently
difficult in the growing of the crop. There are often
practices that are far from perfect, but this obtains
with any crop and in any region. The difficulties of the
growing end of the business would be very largely
mitigated, however, if it were possible to employ a
friable loam soil which can be worked the next day
after a rain.

[Anyone who has studied bulbs, is aware that while
heavy land will produce excellent flowers it will not
produce large bulbs, in quantity.

The fact that Holland is recognized as the bulb
country par excellence, is not accidental, but merely
the result of close observance and experience.

Neither the Hyacinth, Daffodil or Tulip are natives
of Holland, but when the Tulip and Hyacinth were
introduced into Europe it was known that they hailed
from the Eastern sandy soils and with the acumen of
the old-time florists, the importers without doubt
sought to give the bulbs soil approaching this char-
acter. The Hollanders were not long in discovering
how well their lands were suited to bulb culture.

The British, too, having somewhat similar patches
of land, have likewise found it possible to grow Daffo-
dil and Tulip bulbs although, owing to varying fac-
tors, their bulbs have a rougher appearance. This,
however, counts for little, the quality of bloom is as
good or better, but it costs more to produce the bulbs.

The heavier the land bulbs are grown on, the
greater the cost; this applies to Potatoes even. Stiff
soils will produce good Potatoes but not in the quan-
tity nor at the cost lighter soils will produce them.

True, light land requires more feeding but, in the
end, it works out more cheaply than heavy land.

Holland's bulb lands may be said to consist of 50
per cent sand and 50 per cent humus (rotted cow
manure).

Cow dung is a product of Holland as is milk, butter
and cheese, and it is cOw dung that makes Holland
bulbs famous. We have been assured that some of
the Irish Tulip bulb growers use 100 long tons of
rotted dung to the acre — have any of our readers
ever seen Tulips, or Daffodil bulbs as grown in the
Emerald Isle? Holland never surpassed them for
gigantic size. We have seen mother Daffodil bulbs
scaling near one pound each, and even on the sandy
loams of Southern England, we have seen bulbs too
large for ordinary sales.

It is not .so much a question of climate as it is of
soil, feeding, and moisture during the growing season
that counts with bulbs. The fact that a number ot
Hollander and other bulb growers are located in
Michigan and other centers where sandy soils obtain
is proof of this. Cleanliness and rotation are essen-
tial and, when hand hoes and machine cultivators
cannot be used, the weeds must be removed by hand.

Growing bulbs merely for bloom and growing them
for propagatlve purposes are two distinct propositions
and until this fact is fully realized, would-be bulb
growers can never hope to make the business profitable
and certain. Planting an acre of land when attention
can be given to only half that quantity can only re-
sult in disappointing results.]

Rhododendron Schlippenbachii

The pale pink fragrant flowers, which are about
three inches in diameter and marked on one of the
lobes of the corolla with red-brown spots, are perhaps
more beautiful than those of any other Azalea, cer-
tainly of any Azalea which has proved hardy in the
Arboretum. R. Schlippenbachii is one of the common-
est shrubs of Korea and often forms the dominant
undergrowth in open woods. From Korea it crosses
into northeastern Manchuria where it grows on the
shores ot Possiet Bay; it occurs, too, in two localities
in northern Japan. Wilson found it extraordinarily
abundant in Korea on the lower slopes of Chiri-san
and on the Diamond Mountains, which were where he
visited this region in June "a wonderful sight with
literally miles and miles of the purest pink from the
millions of flowers of this Azalea." In Korea this
Azalea on the wind-swept grass-covered cliffs of the
coast grow less than a foot high but flowers abun-
dantly. In the forests of the interior it often grows
to a height of 15ft. and forms a tall and slender or a
broad and shapely shrub. The leaves are large for an
Azalea, being from three and a half inches to four
inches long and sometimes nearly three inches wide,
and are arranged in whorls of five at the end of the
branches. This plant grows further north than any
other Azalea, with the exception of the North Ameri-
can Khodora. The thermometer in the region of the
Diamond Mountains usually registers every Winter
a temperature of 35 deg. to 40 deg. Below zero Fahren-
heit. There is therefore no reason why this Azalea
should not flourish in the coldest parts of New Eng-
land. It has flowered now for several years in the
Arboretum, and planted in an exposed sunny position
has never suffered. Its hardiness and the beauty of
its flowers make it one of the most valuable shrubs,
if not the most valuable, which northeastern North
America has obtained from Northeastern Asia. This
Azalea is still rare in gardens, but large quantities of
seeds collected by Wilson in Korea in 1917 and 1918
were distributed in this country and in England. The
seedlings, however, only make one growth during the
season and the young plants increase slowly in size
The time, however, is not far distant when this inhabi-
tant of the Diamond Mountains will, during the early
days of the month of May, be one of the chief orna-
ments of the gardens of New England.

Forest Protection Week

By proclamation of the President, the week of May
22-28 has been designated as Forest Protection Week,
during which citizens are asked to give serious con-
sideration to the subject of forest conservation and
to hold and promote such educational exercises as
shall emphasize its importance.

This course, it is hoped, will help spread the gospel
of both care and systematic conservation, to the end,
flrst, that vacationists will be led to take greater pre^
cautions against starting forest fires; and, second,
that communities and individuals will be stimulated to
make increased plantings of trees everywhere — along
highways, on their properties and, especially, on the
non-agricultural, untillable land in every section.

Naturally the larger problems and policies of forest
planting and protection are in the hands of the Fed-
eral and State Governmental agencies, commercial
enterprises and constructive, patriotic organizations of
citizens. It is realized, however, that without a gen-
erally awakened public sentiment to back them, no
agencies, however powerful, can accomplish much of
permanent value, and it is this sentiment that the
President is aiming to develop through his procla-
mation and his Forest Protection Week.

an equal amount. Those applying after the first year
to pay .$2 fee and .$2 dues. That a medal be awarded

a barrier the force of the gales is not felt, but, on the
contrary, the coolness and moist air of the shore are able

American Association of
Nurserymen

The forty-sixth annual convention of the American
Association of Nurserymen, wiU be held at the Con-
gress Hotel, Chicago, 111., June 22, 23 and 24, 1921.

Meetings will be held each day at 10 a.m., in the
Florentine Room on the second floor of the hotel, just
at the head of the main stairway and immediately m
front of the elevator ; the same room in which we met
last year. , ^ ,

Rooms should be reserved at once as hotels every-
where are still rather crowded. The Congress Hotel
gives us the free use of a large convention hall and a
number of committee rooms, and our appreciation of
these courtesies, no less than the comfort and con-
venience of the members, will prompt them to stop at
the hotel selected for the convention by the committee
on arrangements.

The following rates are quoted by The Congress
Hotel: Boom, detached bath, one person, $3, $3.50,
$4, $5 per day; room, detached bath, two persons, $5,
$6 per day ; room, private bath, one person, $5, $6, $7,
$8, $10 per day; room, private bath, two persons, $7,
$s', $9, $10, $12 per day.

Members who wish to make exhibits should notify
A. M. Augustine, Normal, 111., who will see that ex-
hibits arriving before the convention will be taken
care of. Address exhibits to : A. M. Augustine, chair-
man arrangements committee. Nurserymen's Conven-
tion,' Congress Hotel, Chicago, 111. Over freight or
express charges should be prepaid.

The program will be announced later, a special
program committee having been appointed by Presi-
dent Stark, consisting of : Henry B. Chase, chairman,

"The B. and B. Idea"

An interesting letter from John S. Kerr, president
and manager of the John S. Kerr Nursery Co., Sher-
man, Texas, contains this interesting material:

"I will say that we have been balling evergreens
for forty years, but have bound the ball on with bur-
lap, fas'tened with naUs, as pins. This works all
risht for shipping and will be cheaper than any wire
basket can be, I think; but this does not allow us to
plant them back in the ground to overcome the shock
of being transplanted before being shipped. The
wire basket will serve this purpose so much better
than when the evergreen is planted with the burlap

(§f All iaga g^pringtwif ta

still on: however, we plant it with the burlap still
on. expecting it to rot in due time.

'■Live Oaks are among the hardest trees to trans-
plant in this country (Texas) and they are very popu-
lar as shade trees. A man by the name of Allbnght
at Houston, Tex., followed this method of balling these
live Oaks any season of the year and planting them
under a partial shade until they had recovered from
the shock of digging them, then he would take them
up and transplant them any time in Summer and had
splendid success, which is attributed, of course, to
the taking up of the soil with them. Also large shade
trees in full leaf have been transplanted all Summer
through, by carrying as much as from one to two or
three tons "of earth on the roots, without wilting the
leaves.

■'We frequently ship out our small evergreens, hav-
ing been balled with burlap, with other trees, and
oftentimes some of them come back after ten days or
two weeks and are still in good condition and are
taken out and made to grow, so you see the balling
idea is not new to us."

For the information of Mr. Kerr and others we
would say the origination of the "B. and B. Idea"
came abo"ut in the effort to discover a way whereby
local nurseries could greatly add to their trade in
the dull Summer months, all of which was explained
in our first article on this subject. If a lady or gentle-
man comes into your place, in July, we'll say, and
her or his attention was caught by a plant in bloom
or with beautiful foliage that they would like to
possess and have immediately on their own home
grounds, the chances are all against the plant's living
if the roots are disturbed. Should this plant have
been set out in a wire basket, however, the desiring
purchaser could be accommodated at once as the bas-
ket could be lifted out of the soil with the roots in-
tact, the basket burlapped if necessary, and replanted
without suffering the slightest shock.

This is the aim and intent of the "B. and B. Idea"
and from all we gather this simple device looks as
though it were going to give quite some impetus to the
Summer trade with the local nurserymen.

Mr. and Mrs. Myers will go to Honolulu first, where
they will spend the Winter. From there they will go
to Europe and the Orient. One other woman besides
Mrs. Myers has been assigned to similar work.

President Harding and Horticulture

Appoints Specialists Whose Duty It Will Be to Seek
Out Plants of Value Unknown Here

Mr. and Mrs. J. Rappo Myers, horticulturists, who
reside near Greensburg, Pa., have been commissioned
by President Harding, we are informed, to visit all the
civilized countries of the world in the interest of horti-
culture.

They will visit the gardens and forests of every
nation in the world. While abroad they will cooperate
closely with authorities at Washington who have
charge of foreign seed and plant introduction, and
their travels are expected to result in the introduction
in this country of many specinnens now foreign to
this part of the world.

Dandelions Versus Carnations

We give below, just as it appeared, an example of
one of many similar notes that invariably appear in
our daily uewspapers a few days before Mother's Day :

Dandelions to Wage War on Carnations

Mount Vernon (N. Y.) Folk to Wear Them to
Curb Profiteering

Residents of Mount Vernon will not buy Carnations
offered bv the town's florists for Mother's Day, which
will be observed on Sunday. The florists, according to
the Rev Ortho F. Bartholow, pastor of the First Metho-
dist Church, have boosted the price of Carnations to
a profiteering rate. Therefore everyone who wants to
tell the world he's proud of his mother is going to Say
it with Dandelions."

"Most everv one has Dandelions in his yard or will
have little ditBculty in getting them along the roads,
whereas Carnations are at prohibitive prices, said Mr.
Bartholow. "The Dandelion is just as beautiful to me
as the Carnation, and there are many others here who
agree with me."

— The purpose of this note was twofold; it pro-
vided an item of news such as the newspaper reporter
loves to get hold of and it was calculated to give a
gentleman some notoriety, perhaps badly needed, at
the expense of an industry.

The mere fact that clergymen, as a class, have not
been averse to taking up flower growing or plant grow-
ing as a side line business, need not be considered, but
we think it ill becomes one of the cloth to make
charges, presumably from the pulpit or to a press
reporter, of the kind above cited.

We have no knowledge of the conditions prevailing
in Mount Vernon, possibly white Carnations there,
through one cause or another, were scarce and ex-
pensive according to the lights of the worthy pastor,
but his desire to tell the world that he intended to say
it with Dandelions shows either a desire for cheap
notoriety or a lamentable lack of knowledge as to what
Mother's Day really stands for.

True enough, the Dandelion is a flower, but that
being so, why not have urged that other flowers were
equally suitable? The urgent desire on the part of
the pastor and his congregation, as well as those of
other churches, doubtless did much to force up values
of white Carnations. Likely as not, the critic had to,
or felt like declaiming against Nature or the Volstead
Act, because Dandelion blossoms, too, were scarce.
Not a few people have recently through their interest
in Dandelions brought about a shortage of bloom;
indeed, we foresee the eventual extermination of this
formerly dispised weed through the fact that few or
no flowers are now allowed to seed.

Strange are the changes wrought by the hand of
time.

In our childhood days. Dandelions were taboo as a
flower to gather, because of supposed penalties bound
to follow. However, joking apart, we were pleased to
observe that A. M. Henshaw, on behalf of the New
York A. F. T. A., seized the opportunity to counter
the pastor's statement by urging the public to remem-
ber mother with flowers, not in the buttonhole, but in
the form of a bouquet.

Unquestionably, it was an error of judgment to

specify any one particular flower for Mother's Day.

The natural effect of creating an unusual demand for

one special line is to force up values, be it flowers or

diamonds.

A Sequel to the Mt. Vernon Episode

A daily paper of Monday, May S, said that 500 men
attended the Bible class of the Rev. Dr. 0. F. Bar-
tholow, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church there, each one wearing a Dandelion (bou-
tonnifire presumably ) .

If it were not for these occasional freakish out-
breaks there wouldn't be half so much fun in living,
would there? Perhaps when the extreme limit of
freakishness is reached, some Mother's Day, men may
1)e seen carrying (in their arms) each one a Symplo-
carpus foetidus.

Dandelions for Decorations

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

Surely the Reverend Ortho F. Bartholow of Mount
Vernon, showed a lamentable lack of knowledge when
he advocated the use of Dandelions for Mother's Day.
The exceeding scarcity of this flower, due to sundry
causes would, one imagines, make it as difficult for
people to adopt his suggestion as it would have been
had he favored the dainty Lady's Slipper, Cypripe-
dium acaule. J. G. E.

The Florists' Exchange

1147

UPWAltD of 100 members, more than one-fourtli
of wliom were from New Jersey, gntbered under
the presideiiey of I. S. lleudrieUson at the En-
gineering Bniiding, W. liOth St.. to celebrate New
Jersey night and, at the same time, deai with tlie
usual routine of business connected with the monthly
meetings.

Actually, the rontine business was of small propor-
tions, and after the reading and acceptance of the
minutes of tlie previous meeting, only two of the
standing committees had anything to report.

.Transportation to Washington Convention

C Lowther. rliairinau of tlie Transportation Com-
mittee, briefly explained what had beeu done in re-
gard to selecting trains for tliose intending to visit
Washington. After a brief discussion, it was decided
that the morniug train on the day preceding the open-
ing of tlie coureution would be tlie most suitable.
This would permit those using it, to look around and
get settled before the evening.

Flower Show Committee

Chas. H. Totty stated that he could add little to the
report made at the previous meeting. The returns
were substantially as then announced. The prospects
of holding another show at the Grand Central Palace
were hopeless : he feared they would, in due course,
have to seel; another location for future shows.

Light on New Jersey

The arrival of Newton H. Porter of Newark, N. J.,
president of the New Jersey State Chamber of Com-
merce induced Pi'esident Hendrickson to suspend busi-
ness at this point. It was with pleasure he introduced
Mr. Porter who had kindly consented to address them.

Mr. Porter, smiling of countenance, and quiet of
speech, put himself on good terms with his audience
by disclaiming all abilities as a speaker. As the sev-
eral flrst-elass orators he had approached were unable
to accept, owing to other engagements, he perforce
decided to be the goat himself rather than let it be
said that the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce had
let the New Xork Florists Club down on its New Jer-
sey night.

Mr. Porter made an interesting address, describing
the objects and aims of the New Jersey State Chamber
of Commerce, the first of its kind in the United States.
Even the United States Chamber of Commerce was
not instituted until after the New Jersey State Cham-
ber was formed.

The speaker described the various natural resources
of New Jersey, its gi-eat possibilities, due to its loca-
tion between the two centers of large population,
Philadelphia and New York.

In the way of transportation it was perhaps better
served than any other State. Nine trunk lines had
their terminals in Jersey City. Further, its water-
ways were unsurpassed while the State highways
which were being built at a rapid rate, were primarily
for the purpose of motor truck transportation. The
address, which was interspersed with human side-
lights, was well received.

Truck Farming in New Jersey

Following Mr. Porter's address, F. F. Rockwell of
Bridgeton, N. J., gave an interesting talk, illustrated
with lantern slides, on the Seabrook Farms, the great-
est truck farmers in the world.

Altogether, Seabrook & Sou of Bridgeton, N. J.,
now control some 4000 acres, the area having been
largely increased through the planting of fruit or-
chards. Before this latter work is through, Sea-
brook & Son will control orchards as large or larger
than any existing. At the moment some 1500 acres
have been planted and, judging by the growth made
within seven months of planting, Bridgeton will tie a
great factor for Apples and Peaches in the future.

The remarkable pictures showing the vast areas of
this, that, and the other crops under cultivation were
an eye opener to many. Spinach, Lettuce and so forth,
in 30 acres patches, all more or less irrigated by the
overhead system, which, said Mr. Rockwell, had made
it possible for the firm to develop as it had.

A block of houses, each 60ft.x300ft. was shown;
here Cucumbers, Lettuce, etc., play their part. The
houses are never empty more than 48 hours at any
one time ; as soon as a crop is cleared, it Is replaced
by another.

The gigantic machines for unloading manure and
coal, the tractors, the railroad tracks through the

farms, the trains fnlly loaded with produce, the huge
crate making department, the stacks of cases, etc., all
served to demonstrate the va.stness of this concern,
but despite the machinery, it was clear that no ma-
cbiiu's in till' \\-nrld call do what the human machine
accoiiiplislu's. Ill (ho full season, .Seabrooks have
about Kiliu hands at work, largely Italian labor. The
men. for the most part, are permanent workers: their
women folk and elder children assist when needed. A
large number of dwelling houses have been erected for
the workers and many more are going up. Owing to
tlieir numbers, the Seabrook Farms children have to
be provided with tlieir own school.

Altogether, the pictures and Mr. Rockwell's talk,
formed a most interesting features and. at the con-
clusion, President Hendrickson took the opportunity
to propose a rising vote of thanks to both the speaker's
who had entertained the meeting; this was adopted
with applause.

Membership

The nominations pending, viz.. Paul E. Atkinson,
N. Y. ; .Tames Hageruk, Brooklyn ; Frauk S. Bosol-
vage. Brooklyn ; Henry J. Appel. Whitestone ; and
Anthony Denis, New York, were duly elected on one
ballot.

No new nominations were made.

Resolutions

Secretary Young drew attention to the fact that
since the previous meeting they had lost an honored
member, A. J. Demeusy of Brooklyn. On a motion,
a committee to draw up suitable resolutions was
agreed upon.

Secretary Young also announced that word had just
been received that B. Hammond Tracy, Jr., son of
their greatly esteemed friend, had been accidentally
drowned oft the coast of France. It was agreed that
a letter of condolence be sent by the secretary to the
bereaved parents. In connection with the deaths of
Mrs. P. B. Rigby the beloved wife of their esteemed
co-worker and Mrs. A. H. Langjahr, wife of their re-
spected member, it was agreed that a committee be
appointed to draw up resolutions.

S. A. F. Membership Drive

In connection with the membership extension of the
S. A. F. the following members of the New York Flo-
rists' Club, as appointed by A. L. Miller, were an-
nounced: Frank H. Traendly, chairman; W. R. Cobb,
A. T. De La Mare, W. H. Siebrecht, Jr., F. L. Atkins,
C. H. Totty, Emil Schloss. These, in conjunction with
A. L. Miller and John Young as ex-offlcio representa-
tives of the S. A. F. and O. H. will form the local
committee.

Birthday Flowers

After the usual refreshments Secretary Young sub-
mitted a letter received from Vincent Gorly, St. Louis,
Mo., advocating the adoption of birthday flowers for
each month of the year. On the secretary's recom-
mendation, a committee was appointed to consider the
plan.

Awards Committee

A remarkably fine collection of cut orchids grown
by James Goodier, supt., F. E. Dixon, Elkins Park,
Pa., was set up by Joseph Manda. Consisting of about
one dozen vases, we noted some exquisite Cattleyas,
Lojlio-Cattleyas, Sophro-Cattleyas and Epidendrums.
In addition, the same exhibitor showed a plant of
Lselio-Cattleya Helena Dixon (L.-C. E. G. Roebling X
C. Gaskelliana) bearing several grand flowers, pure

The 1916 Prophet's Vision

Spraying by Airship in 1950

Aircraft and Agriculture

There is many a true word spoken in jest, and this
old axiom was brought to mind by a paragraph ap-
pearing recently in one of our evening papers. In our
Gardeners and Florists Annual for 1916 we published
an illustration depicting the prophetic vision of an ar-
tist who had peered into the probabilities of 1930. It
showed orchard spraying by means of an airship.

That this hit of humor was not beyond the realms of
possibility is demonstrated by the newspaper para-
graph above mentioned. We are told that through an,
invention to sow grain by airplane, aircraft may be
listed as agricultural implements. The new flying graitt
sower will cover a strip of land 36ft. wide, and plant
the seed while traveling at 60 miles an hour. The
seeds are expelled by air pressure from a perforated
tube with sufficient velocity to drive them the proper
depth into the soil. At the end of each wing, a thin,
stream of lime or fertilizer is released to outline the
planted area. The machine, which is made suflciently
strong to permit its landing on plowed land, can, under-
normal conditions, sow 640 acres in six hours. The same
area, planted with an ordinary drill, would take a man
and his team 221/2 days of 10 hours. It is estimated
that the air sower can plant 1000 acres a day, which,
at 7% pecks of seed, weighing 113 lbs. to the acre, would
mean some 113,000 lbs, or 56^2 tons of Wheat. Some
load, that, for an airship.

Our information concerning this machine does not
extend beyond what was given in the newspaper, but
as the paragraph was published as an ordinary news
item it is possible that some elements of truth lie be-
hind it.

Biggest Dahlia Show Planned

An interesting and productive meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the American Dahlia Society was
held at the Hotel Grand, New York City, May 9. The
session lasted almost w'ithout interruption from 10
a.m. until 5 p.m. and resulted in the completion of all
committees for the year, the transaction of important
business by the nomenclature committee, and the
further development of plans for the next Dahlia
Show — which, it is confidently claimed, is going to be
the biggest affair of its kind that not the United
States alone, but the world, has ever seen.

Additional details concerning the actions taken at
the meeting and the decisions arrived at and defini-
tions determined on by the nomenclature committee
will be published as soon as received from the secre-
tary.

Southern Trial Grounds American Dahlia
Society

For several years past the American Dahlia Society
has successfully conducted trial grounds at the Con-
necticut Agricultural College, Storrs, Conn., under
the supervision of Prof. Eraser. What is to be known
as the Southern Trial Grounds of the society are now
being established at the Experiment Station at Col-
lege Park, Md.. two acres of ground being given over
to this purpose. The trials are in charge of Dr. Pat-

1148

The Florists' Exchange

terson and Professors Norton and White of the Ex-
periment Station, and some of the tubers have already
been planted. Dahlia growers everywhere have agreed
to contribute tubers and plants, Dr. Howe of the
New York Botanical Garden offering to donate all
his surplus.

Hundreds of people pass the Experiment Station
grounds daily, and as there will be a sign on display
"Southern Trial Grounds of the American Dahlia
Society." many will no doubt pause to examine the
multitude of blooms in all forms and colors, each
variety label carrying the donor's name. There will
be a sufficient quantity of plants to warrant a supply
of cut flowers, and while no flowers will be sold, any
person giving $2 for membership in the American
Dahlia Society to the man who will be on hand to
look after visitors during the blooming season will be
presented with a bunch of Dahlias. One dollar of this
sum will be turned into the fund for membership,
while the remaining dollar will be applied to the cost
of upkeep of the trial grounds.

The same rules governing the trial gardens at
Storrs are to apply at the College Park grounds.
Copies of these rules and entry blanks for varieties
to be tested may be secured from the secretary of the
society or from those in charge of the trial grounds.
Tubers may be sent up to June 1 and plants until
June 20.

Meeting the Demand for
Garden Roses

HAVING observed a strong and increasing interest
in Eoses among the home garden fraternity and,
realizing that the working of Qu. 37 must neces-
sarily have curtailed the supply of Rose bashes, we
have" sought the views of a number of growers both
commercial Rose forcers and regular producers of
outdoor stock.

The latter have not. in the past, been specially nu-
merous and while their output has always been large,
it has never been equal to the demand, indeed, owing
to the large importations, it is doubtful whether they
ever attempted to cater to the vast army of people
who only think of planting when the time for bloom-
ing is almost at hand. While certain importing con-
cerns formerly made a feature of new or specially
choice stock produced in Ireland, it may be said that
the great bulk of the three million or so bushes which
annually entered our ports were of an ordinary or
mediocre class, frequently untrue to name and on a
root stock none too well suited to our climate. This
stock, largely handled by the departmental stores or
sold in lots at auction rooms, did little to demonstrate
that the Rose was essentially a plant for American
gardens.

Of late years, in addition to this imported stock,
were the plants thrown out by the forcers. These, for
the most part, were not specially treated to make them
suitable for garden planting and possibly few who
purchased them achieved any great success with such.

With the cutting oft of the foreign supplies, it was
obvious to everyone that the home supply of reliable
Rose bushes must be increased and we believe it is a
•fact that not only have the regular propagators largely
■ increased their output but others have entered the
field. In the main, we believe all these producers are
more or less following the regular routine of propa-
gation prevailing in Europe: i. e., budding on stocks
planted in the preceding Fall or early Spring.

Further, we believe that some, if not all of the
forcing concerns, are taking greater care of the stock
turned out from their houses after a season's forcing.
Partially rested by drying out, these plants are cut
back and planted in the field and, given generous cul-
tivation, they make excellent stock for lifting in the
Fall. Just how the trade this season has been, and
what the prospects for the future are, may be gleaned
from the attached letters :

C. H. Perkins, 2d Vice-President, Jackson &
Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y.

Answering your query regarding the efEect of Qu. 37

. on our trade on Rose bushes, we wish to advise that

we believe it has been good. Sales on Rose bushes

throughout the present season have been heavy. We

- are sold out down to the very last plant.

With regard to prices obtained now as compared to
pre-war prices, there has been from a fifty to one
hundred per cent raise. Prices on Rose bushes have
been somewhat less this year than they were last
season which, we think, tends to show that the trade
is gradually working up to a stock sufficient for the
■ country's needs.

Our plans for extending the propagation of Roses
before and since the embargo went into efEect have
been on quite a large scale. We have recently pur-

chased a tract of land at Bridgeton, N. J., where we
have planted nearly a half million Rose stocks this
Spring in addition to our regular plantings here at
Newark, which have usually been from five to seven
hundred thousand and, in addition to those, we have
contracts in California amounting to about five to six
hundred thousand. All told, we expect to bud this
season 1,500,000 Roses. We think others are also
going in quite strong for Roses and it looks to us as
though the gap caused by the quarantine would soon
be filled.

With regard to new varieties of Roses, we are en-
deavoring as far as possible to keep up with the intro-
ductions as they are offered. We expect to maintain
a trial ground nurseries at our Bridgeton nurseries
for testing out all new Roses as they are introduced,
and it is our intention to also develop, as fast as pos-
sible, stocks of these new introductions.

We are quite naturally biased in favor of the pres-
ent embargo, but it is our frank opinion that the trade
is much better off with it. It has given an added
impetus to the producing of better Rose bushes in
America and, in the end, the trade will be served with
a much better quality of plant than was ever imported.

Robert Pyle, President The Conard & Jones Co.,
West Grove, Pa.

Responding to your inquiry the prospect is that our
business will, this year, have made a larger increase
in volume than during any single previous year in
our history ; this applies chiefly to our Rose business.

With reference to prices, we have not as yet reduced
the selling price of our product nor the wages we pay
our employees ; it is our opinion that men in this class
never have been paid as much as they deserve in pro-
portion to many other lines of industry. Other costs
that enter most largely into the price of our product
up to this time have shown practically no diminution.
Our observation would lead us to believe that the
average selling price for Roses today is about double
what it was previous to the war.

We are harboring the hope that the time is not far
distant when we can find, from the pressure of im-
pelling duties, a sufficient margin of time in which
to do our full . share toward seeing to it that the
American people get the very best in new Roses that
the world produces from every possible source. The
thorough testing of all the new varieties on the mar-
ket has become a matter so extensive, as to be next
door to burdensome to all but the largest firms. This
is a matter in which the American Rose Society should
be of definite assistance, and the support of the trade
in this direction is a point that prominent growers
might do well to consider.

The demand for Roses has been strong, due, I am
inclined to think, not at all to the fact that they no
longer come from abroad in such quantities as here-
tofore, but because during the war, our good people
exercised much self-restraint; also to the fact that
there has been much loss by unusual weather condi-
tions so that there has been more need than usual to
replenish vacant places in the Rose gardens.

As for supply, Qu. 87 undoubtedly made an im-
mense change in the ratio between supply and de-
mand, but if I can judge correctly from considerable
first hand investigation, I am persuaded that American
enterprise will not be long in making up the shortage
to a point that will not challenge criticism on the part
of the retail planter.

cannot pay the freight to Northern markets at prevail-
ing prices on those marlcets. To enlarge upon this view
is not desirable except to show the evil conditions and
to inspire means of relief. Reconstruction and read-
justment, are badly needed and present a stupendous
task.

A wise and conservative banker, discussing these con-
ditions remarked to me, "We must keep the wheels
going round, keep industry moving, economize, and
produce our living at home. With thrift, prudence and
some wise statesmanship, readjustment to normal pros-
perity will soon come. The banks are prepared and will
finance industry conservatively carried on."

The agricultural classes are awaking to these' facts :
First, that nobody outside cares as to the extent of the
importance of agriculture; second, that self help is the
only recourse ; third, that agriculture possesses the
power and only needs cooperation to make it felt. Hence
there are agricultural organizations galore. The Fed-
eral Farm Bureau, which is growing fast, seems to offer
the best solution for crystallizing these latent powers
and the diverse attempts at organized self help for agri-
culture, which we all realize, is the basic element of our
prosperity. Hence all are interested and solicitous.

Nurserymen, florists and horticulturists, representing
the higher types of agriculturists, rotaries of "The
Poetry of Farming," are more fortunate than the "field
crop" and the "live stock" classes. Fruit, shade and
ornamental trees and plants, like Armour's Breakfast
Bacon, were created under inflated conditions of labor
and material and naturally must deflate slowly. It is
claimed that nursery stock has never before realized its
intrinsic, nor even its cost and reasonable profit value.
Like claims are made by the florists, and they, too, are
slow to return to modest pre-war profits. The fruit
grower and gardener having curtailed production (many
orchards having been abandoned in favor of 35c. cotton)
are still realizing fine prices for the fruits demanded
by home markets. This is fortunate since there is
little chance to reach distant markets, owing to exces-
sive freight and express rates. The Strawberry grower
now is enjoying 25c. a pint box, and $5 and $6 per 24-
pint crate, for native Strawberries.

The prospects for tree or orchard fruits in North and
West Texas are poor, and spotted, owing to April frosts,
yet Eastern, Central and Southern Texas have good
prospects. The State of Texas has, fortunately, plenty
of fruit in prospect for home consumption and nearby
markets this year, as the conserved or pantry supplies
have been exhausted by last year's complete failure of
the fruit crop.

The nurserymen generally are in good shape, having
closed out the past season reasonably well, and at record
prices, both wholesale and retail.

The supply for next season's trade is considered ade-
quate, and the crops for 1921 have been liberally pro-
vided for.

The Nursery Business in the
Southwest

By JOHN S. KERR, Sherman, Texas

DIXIELAND" is feeling quite wobbly over general
conditions, industrially, professionally, financially
and politically; but it is struggling hard to gain
a normal footing, and from what we can hear, we are no
worse off, if as badly off, as "Back East."

Causes are not far to seek. Among them are our
11,000,000 bales of Cotton of the 1920 crop and a strong
surplus from 1919, which have dropped from around
35c. a pound to 10c. and the end is not yet in sight. This
Cotton, estimating conservatively, has cost the grower
16Hc. per pound, having been made under high costs
of labor and living, and habits of free spending. Not
only Cotton, but also Wheat, Corn, Oats, hay, fruit,
truck, cattle, hogs, sheep, wool, mules, horses and
nearly all other farm products share in the slump, while
labor, food and clotliing are yielding very slowly to
readjustment demands. Money is scarcer and higher by
one to one and one-half per cent, the country banks
claiming that the Federal Reserve Banks have increased
interest and rediscount rates in the face of large bank
profits the past year, and thus demoralized industrial
and commercial conditions.

Traffic rates, too, are higher, in many instances pro-
hibitive. Truckers and fruit growers of the far South

Winter Sweet Peas in Florida

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

As a contribution to the Florida-California discus-
sion I am sending two snapshots of a row of Spencer
Sweet Peas, about 400ft. in length, taken Feb. 8. The
seed was sown in early October and first flowers cut
the week before Christmas. Owing to abnormally warm
weather in March we have just cut (April 2) the last
salable flowers. Last year we cut up to May 1.

Most of the flowers were sold at retail, but we found
that we could supply other florists as far North as
Atlanta and Charleston, getting the flowers through in
24 hours by parcel post. Next year we shall increase
our planting of Sweet Peas.

Orlando, Fla. F. W. Fletcher.

[The snapshots of the row of Sweet Peas received
with the foregoing unfortunately are not sufficiently
clear for reproduction but they do show a good height
and a wonderful profusion of blooms. — Ed.]

International Agricultural Institute

Many are apt to wonder by what means the official
figures and estimates of the world's crops are obtained
and. the fact that it is possible in agriculture, makes one
still further realize that an international chain of Cham-
bers of Horticulture could assist materially in tlie better-
ment and development of the industry.

The records relating to agriculture are compiled by
tlie Imperial Institute of Rome. The origin of this
institute was brought about in 1905 through the influ-
ence of the late David Lubin of this country. Realizing
the fact that the world's agriculture was conducted hap-
hazard, through lack of coordination, Mr. Lubin pro-
posed to the King of Italy, the establishment of an Inter-
national Institute. The King took up the idea with
enthusiasm, helping to erect a magnificent building and
endowing it with revenues worth about $50,000 a year.

Practically the whole civilized world has resident rep-
resentatives in Rome. These form a committee which
meets frequently and, once in two years, a special as-
sembly of delegates meets.

Big Mother^s Day Business

Alay 9. — The volume of business
transacted for Motlier's Day exceeds sub-
stantially the best totals on record. Good
prices prevailed, and while there was not
sufficient stock obtainable to permit re-
tailers to go the limit, there was enough
to enable the garnering of an unprecedent-
edly heavy business. A note of complete
satisfaction is discernible in the reports
of practically every merchant upon the
subject of Mother's Day.

Roses were the principal flower in point
of supply, but the hea\T receipts were
exhausted completely at wholesale prices,
extending from §8 to S35 per 100. The
new commercial sorts, Columbia and Pre-
mier predominated. The stock was
handled in a nice fresh condition and
good values given, resulting in the best
of satisfaction to purchasers.

Peonies from Tennessee figured in the
businesSj but they were not abundant
enough to exert a large influence. The
blooms were in fine condition for so ex-
tremely early in the season, which points
to impioved methods of handling and
storing. At $15 a 100 they moved readily
and were quite popular.

As usual. Carnations were extremely
scarce and were carefully portioned out
to customers- Upon the whole, the flow-
ers were in good condition, there being
little evidence of pickling. Realizing their
inability to procure large quantities of
Carnations, retail florists endeavored to
attract the attention of the buying pub-
lic to other items of greater abimdance,
and their increased sales testified to their
success in that respect . The good com-
mercial varieties were billed at 12c., fancy
stock, such as Laddie, bringing as high as
20c.

With the exception of Darwin Tulips,
some of which were of excellent quality,
there was no bulbous stock among the
offerings. It is needless to say that this
stock was sorely missed, as were also
good Lilacs and other popular outdoor
cheap flowers.

There were plenty of Sweet Peas which
sold at S15 to $30 a 1000, in evidence;
Easter Lilies were also in liberal supply.
"NYell grown Snapdragons tilled a very im-
portant place in the price lists and this
fine flower was never previously in bet-
ter demand. Large quantities were moved
at from §6 to S15 a 100 according to
quality and size.

The variety in miscellaneous stock waa
lacking this Mother's Day, owing to the
peculiar weather conditions. Cattleya
Mossiae of choice quality were plentiful
and there was a superabundance of both
indoor and outdoor Vallev.

A large and generous assortment of
greens were offered, the supply becoming
scarce toward the close of business.

Principal Factors

Believers in the eflacacy of printers'
ink, point to the use of much publicity
as the principal factor in the big volume
of business transacted. Unquestionably
this helped materially, especially the three
column twelve display ad run by the
growers in all the local daily papers. That
fine piece of cooperative publicity was
signed by "The Flower Producers of
Cleveland" and undoubtedly made a strong
appeal to the buying public. Suggesting
stability and breathing sincerity, these
ads undeniably helped the business of
every individual dealing in flowers.

The ideal weather prevailing on Satur-
day and on ilother's Day, of course, was
also a strong influence in the production
of business. Following so much inclement
weather, the buying public was out of
doors en masse upon these days, and, com-
ing in contact with such splendid floral
displays, simply bought.

'Varions Items

There was a keenly felt dearth of the
small and medimn priced blooming plants
for Mother's Day trade, more of the higher
valued specimens being obtainable. Hyd-
rangeas occupied flrst place and the stock
was excellent.

The inauguration of the passenger aero-
plane service from New York to Chicago
was made the occasion for the salutary use
of flowers by our wide-awake Mrs. Ella
Gra:?it._Wilson. _The_big plane arrived at
Glenn Martin Field at noon on Saturday,

May 7, bearing a floral message from
Mayor Hylan of New York to Mayor Fitz-
gerald of this city. Similar greetings were
also despatched by our Mayor to Mayor
Thompson of Chicago. The Florists Club
donated a fine bunch of Peonies and Lilies
tied with tulle for the occasion. MoWng
pictures of the event, with the wares of
the florist in the foreground, were made.

Thanks to the efforts of the indefati-
gable Carl Hagenburger and a few grow-
ers of his ilk, the Ohio Division of the
National Flower Growers Association is
rapidly rounding into a tangible reality.
Our producers have at last become alive
to the necessity of organization for their
common good and are losing no time in
affixing their signatures to the roster.
And, let us hope, when the number of
pressing questions come up for action in
their councils, that Publicity, like the
name of Abou Ben Adhem, shall head the
list.

On !May 15, in harmony with the Na-
tional Membership Committee of the
S. A. F., the local committee of which
State Vice-President James A. McLaugh-
lin is chairman, will begin its drive for
new members of the parent society in
Northern Ohio. A brief and snappy cam-
paign is anticipated. Every person mak-
ing flowers his or her life work should
be a member of the Society of American
Florists. It costs but §5 to join, or $55
for life membership, which expense, con-
sidering the good accomplished, is negligi-
ble. Application blanks will be mailed
those whose names do not appear upon
the membership list. The drive closes
with the August Convention in Washing-
ton.

Several days previous to Mother's Day,
the Retail Florists Association, perhaps
prompted by the experience of former
years, served notice upon our wholesalers
that no pickled stock would be accepted
by the members thereof, which constitute
the bulk of the live retailers of the city.
This is a move in the right direction and
should be regarded as purely a con-
structive measure. It takes concerted ef-
fort to rid our profession of unethical and
nefarious practices.

The monthly meeting of the Retail Asso-
ciation was held at the HoUenden Mon-
day, May 9, with a light attendance, no
doiibt in consequence of the closeness of
the meeting to Mother's Day. J. McL.

As a result of the campaign, the commis-

Handsome and Deserved
Recognition

No man in the West whose name
is associated with park development, plan-
ning and accomplisliments stands higher in
his profession nor enjoys a wider circle
of friends and admirers than John Mc-
Laren, the creator and lifelong superin-
tendent of Golden Gate Park of San
Francisco. Municipal administrations
may come and go, political parties change,
but like the brook, John McLaren goes on
forever as the master mind and guiding
spirit of San Francisco's beautiful park.
His in inception, he has witnessed it grow
and develop into one of the beautiful parks
of the world. Allowing for this, it is in-
deed gratifying to learn that a statue to
its builder is about to be unveiled in the
handsome grounds he created. The statue
is the gift of A. B. Spreckles, park com-
missioner. The sculptor. Earl Cum-
mings, is one of the best known of the
local San Francisco art colony, and him-
self a park commissioner. The work,
which is cast in, bronze, depicts McLaren
in a characteristic attitude. The date
of the unveiling will soon be announced;
a committee having been detailed to ar-
range a fitting program.

California Gronrn Seeds

Often our o-n-n people are jolted by
a few facts and figures, hence it is not
surprising that the fellow from the out-
side should view with some doubt the
statements put forth by the author's of
boom literature. Yet here comes a state-
ment from the California Development
Board that the California seed crop now
approximates §25,000,000 per annum. This
report further says a decrease in the
amount of Alfalfa seed produced is re-
ported from the principal districts, while
Humboldt county entered upon a new in-
dustry of commercial importance with the
planting of 2200 acres of black purple
Vetch, which returned from 1200 to 1500
pounds per acre, and tested 90 per cent
pure or better. This is in great demand
by citrus growers of Southern California
as a cover crop, being high in nitrogen.
Decrease in acreage of flower seeds in fa-
vor of vegetable is noted. The Sweet Pea
acreage dropped from 1500 in 1919 to a
scant 200 in 1920. Snnflowers were an
important seed crop in San Joaquin Val-
ley, especially in San Joaquin county
where 1382 acres were planted.

ilay 7. — Mother's Day will be as largely
celebrated through the use of flowers as
any one previously reported, this custom
haA-ing taken a stronghold with our citi-
zens, and it will take much more than a
recommendation from the original pro-
moters to discourage the use of flowers
for this occasion. True, it is that the trade
itself can effectively kill the business by
charging exorbitant prices for poor flow-
ers, and if this happens, no one but those
shortsighted ones who follow this policy
can be blamed. Certainly, in the month
of May, it will take considerable ability
to maintain Christmas prices and satisfy
buyers alike. Here in the city, we are
somewhat at a disadvantage just now, as
the Carnations are off crop, while Sweet
Peas and the bulb stock have gone by also.
The usual Spring crops are backward so
that Roses and pot plants are the main re-
liance for the trade and, this being the
case, the extra call for Mother's Day is
a difficult problem for the retailers. How-
ever, we shall make out somehow and
doubtless find potted plants a fairly good
substitute for cut flowers.

Under these conditions, quotations are
well maintained and Roses wholesale at
S6 to $20; Carnations $10 to $12, Snap-
dragon S1.50 to S3 a bunch, Callas of
good quality, $25, and some growers have
quite a lot of Easter Lilies yet to bloom.
At retail, $2 to $3 is the average price
per doz. for Roses, nice flowers with 15in.
or 18in. stems. Carnations, the best, $3
is obtained, while for other stock, the us-
ual prices prevail. Undoubtedly mixed
bunches will be popular for this occasion

and some early Gladiolus help out also.
Altogether, a strong effort will be made
to keep the prices as moderate as possible,
it being well realized the public just now
are in no mood to pay excessive prices for
perishable goods like flowers. Finer
weather brings inquiries for bedding
stock and for the next month or so, the
suburban growers will be busy. $3 to S5 per
doz. seem to be the prevailing prices for
Geraniums and Cannas in 4in., while SI. 50
buys Sin. stock like Coleus and Petunias,
etc. Tomatoes are being planted by some
enthusiastic gardeners in spite of occa-
sional frosty nights. S. B.

Calla Disease

Xot long since a grower submitted some
roots of Callas which exhibited some dis-
ease not altogether like the ordinary root
rot. Being uncertain as to the actual
cause of the trouble, I sent them to
an experienced pathologist. Neither
he nor a co-worker were able to
diagnose the trouble, although the outer
leaf sheaths were found affected with
bacterial soft rot. Under the circum-
stances, I was interested to learn that
large growers of Callas in England were
having serious losses, and that the Experi-
mental Station of Cheshunt had discov-
ered a new bacillus apparently distinct
from bacillus aroidese, but apparently
identical with an organism which has
been under investigation and which causes
rot among Tomatoes, Turnips and Pota-
toes. The disease may be transmitted in
drainage water and cow dung. Hea^-y
watering assists the disease, while dry
treatment helps the plants to recover.
Once the disease appears damping over-
head is recommended as the best method
of watering; all root watering should
cease. All diseased plants should at once
be removed and the soil treated with for-
maldehyde or hot water. The first symp-
ton of the disease is a stoppage of leaf
growth followed by yellowing and wither-
ing. The roots become brown and watery,
flnally empty tubes, while the corms de-
velop soft rotted areas. This description
closely fits the samples I had under no-
tice, and the query arises, has the new
bacillus established itself here? The
grower sending the samples had found that
both his old stock and newly purchased
roots going off in the same way. He, by
the way, had been using cow manure. W.

Newport, R. I.

Mother's Day is fast becoming a reality
in the flower trade, bringing about a de-
mand for plants and cut flowers more
than equal to the preparation made for it.

There was a scarcity of cut flowers
here; a run of cloudy weather had very
materially shortened up the supply in the
local market. It is unfortunate that Sun-
day was selected as the day to be ob-
served, as it makes that day anything
but a day of rest for the florists and their
employees. However, it made good busi-
ness and a cleanup of all available ma-
terial. Alexander MacLellax.

Washington, N. J. — Although busi-
ness has been the best ever at Alonzo J.
Bryan's greenhouses, and hundreds of or-
ders are being shipped far and near each
day, Mr. Bryan has just now been able to
get outdoors after being quarantined for
the past six weeks. There have been
numerous cases of scarlet fever in the vi-
cinity during the past Winter; Mr. Bry-
an's young son was first afflicted with it,
and subsequently Mr. Bryan himself,
which necessitated the quarantine. Mr.
Bryan was fortunate in having plenty of
help on hand and his stock is now in ex-
cellent condition.

TO MAKE MORE UNIVERSAL THE OBSERVANCE OF

MEMORIAL DAY

PHIL FOLEY

That means more flowers — more and more each year. You
florists should stimulate the use of more house-grown
blooms — for the best is none too good for our heroes.

But what is the use of trying to develop a bigger demand
if you can't supply it at a good profit ? And you can't
grow flowers profitably in poor houses.

So I urge you to investigate the superior points of
Foley Better Built Greenhouses.

When you consider cost of heating and the cost of labor
to grow good crops — when you consider how perishable your
products are — how easily a severe cold spell may ruin your
crop which represents months of hard work — then you want

a house that is properly designed and heated — a house that
will give you years of service at minimum cost of upkeep.
That means you want a Foley Better Built Greenhouse.

Whether it be a big iron frame house 300 or 600 feet
long or a small pipe frame house or a range of pipe-frame
houses — you will find points about Foley Houses that will
make them the most satisfactorily economical houses you
can erect.

St Louis, Mo.

Saturday, ilay 7, found the market
with flowers verj- scarce. Carnations were
held at 15c. Some few brought ISc. and
20c. Koses also were held at stiff figures.
Rates ranged from loc. to 'tOc. Sweet
Peas were held at Si per 100 for short
stems: the longer ones were sold at $2 to
S3 per 100.

Quite a few complaints came in from
the retailers, who told that their custom-
ers kicked, but all there was to it, flow-
ers were scarce. Many of the retailers
pushed plants.

A great out of town business was done
by the wholesalers and also the retailers.
Greens were in good demand.

May 8, Mother's Day, found the market
absolutely clean of flowers. As the local
growers' supplies came into the market
Sunday morning, and also express ship-
ments, they were seized by the retailers.
There was a great demand for Carnations
notwithstanding the high prices. There
was also a big demand for Sweet Peas
and other flowers.

for Mother's Day were the largest ever
experienced by them since this day was
inaugurated. The demand on Friday,
Saturday and Sunday morning absorbed
nearly all items of stock in the niarket.
There were pronounced advances in the
prices of white and pink Roses and white
and pink Carnations and Avhite and pink
Sweet Peas. The prices on other items
of stock also were hrmer and, in general,
somewhat higher.

The supply of American Beauty Roses
was quite large, and there was also a con-
siderable supply of Hadley, Key and
Crusadei, Red Roses were not so much
in demand as the white and pink. Special
gi-ade American Beauty in the earlier
sales for Mother's Day brought 25c. to
60c. each, but later, declined to 20c. to
50c. Keys of the same grade sold for
50c. to 60c., and Crusader for 3oc., and
Hadley for 50c. In other Roses, top
grade blooms brought 8c. to 30c., and in
the case of some extra choice Premier,
35c. to 40e. each. No. 2 grade blooms sold
for So to $6 per 100.

Select grade white and pink Carnations
sold at §15 to S20 per 100; in fact, prac-
tically all the select whites brought the
higher figure. Medium grade pink and
also red varieties sold at about SID to $12
per 100. and splits to ordinaries in all
colors at about $6 to §10 per 100. Cat-
tleyas brought 35c. to §1 each, and in the
case of a few choice Gigas, Sl-50. Sweet
Peas sold for SI to S3 and occasionally
S4 per 100. The highest point touched
bv Liiv «i the Valley was about $6 per
100, and by Lilies §20 to ?25.

May 10. — The heavy sales during the
closing days of last week for Mother's
Day caused the supply of Roses and Car-
nations to be on the short side on Monday
and Tuesday of this week and the prices
to be higher and firmer than they have
been in several weeks, especially for
white and pink Roses and Carnations.

American Beauty Roses are in large
supply. Special grade blooms are selling
at 25c. to oOc. each and the other grades
at proportionate prices. Hadley of the
same grade is selling at 30c., Key for
60c. and Crusader and Premier for 35c.
Blooms of other varieties of this grade
are selling at 8c. to 20c. each. No. 2
grade blooms are bringing %o to §6 per
100.

Carnations are in short supply and are
selling at $10 to §12 per 100 for selects
and S4 to $8 for splits to ordinaries.

There is a considerable supply of Cat-
tleyas, which are bringing 35c. to 75c.
each, but choice Gigas are selling at %\
to $1.50. Lily of the Valley is in short
supply and moving out slowly at $1 to $5
and occasionally $6 per 100. Lilies are
bringing $15 to $20 per 100.

The moderate supply of Callas is realiz-
ing $1 to $3 per doz; Spanish Iris $1 to
S2.50 per doz., some of this coming from
the South. Darwin Tulips are increasing
in supply and are selling at 75c. to $1.50
per bunch. All of these bulbous flowers
are meeting with a fair demand.

The miscellaneous flowers now arriving

in the market embrace Antirrhinum at

50c. to $1.50 per bunch. Daisies at $1 to

I $3 per 100, Lilac at 25c. to $1 per bunch,

I Peonies Sl-50 to S2 per doz., and Sweet

j Peas at $1 to $2.50 per 100. All of these

I are meeting with a considerable demand.

I Greens of all kinds are moving well in

I general sympathy with the demand for

flowers at this time.

New York City's Farms

New York visitors who wisely re-
mark that bucolic pursuits are a long-
winded cry from the activities within the
city's gates, and that the closest ap-
proach to farm life that the artificial New
Yorker sees in the sun-bonneted chorus
girl with a shiny new milk pail on her
arm, are laboring imder a pall of igno-
rance. There are 790 farms, 138 acres,
in full bearing and operation in the city,
according to a report just issued by the
director of the Census. Five of them are
within Manhattan Borough, Bronx Coimty
has 50 farms. Kings, 54; Queens 565 and

Mother's Day Impressions

Florists Trade Association, submits the
following:

retailers, on Friday and Saturday, last,
when Carnations and other stock took to
the air. Of course, the Allied Florists
Trade Association's advertisement was
blamed, and I do not use this word
thoughtlessly, by the retailer, for the jump
in prices. Monday morbing, however,
"the day after/' tells a different story and
the retail florist smiles and smiles again
and forgets his troubles of Friday and
Saturday. Mother's Day is a great in-
stitution and has come to stay.

Possibly our advertisement in all New
York and Brooklyn papers of last week
was unnecessary and the money might
have been saved for a dull period, which
undoubtedly is to come, but regrets are
useless and we learn as we go. Much in-
dignation has been voiced about newspaper
articles widely disseminated, again calling
the florists profiteers but, unlike last year,
our side of the story was given equal
prominence. Beginning with the New
York papers of "Wednesday, May 4, when
a Mount Vernon minister was quoted as
calling the florists profiteers and advising
members of his Bible class to wear
a Dandelion instead of the supposed es-
sential white Carnation, we were in the
columns of the public press every day, and
we ought to feel that we received
thousands of dollars' worth of advertising,
which cost us nothing.

The impression left with most people on
reading, even the most critical article,
was merely a reminder that next Sunday
was Mother's Day and that "Mother"
must not be forgotten. More and more
it is proved that advertising pays. It is
also shown that an Allied Florists Trade
Association can find much good work to
do beside that of advertising.

We all knew — the grower, wholesaler
and retailer alike — a month ago, the
probabilities for Mother's Day. Carna-
tions at that time were too cheap and
the retailer's wants were easily filled. Co-
operation, about that time, might have ar-

The Market

ilay 10. — ^Jlother's Day trade in
Chicago made a new record although for
a time, it looked that scarcity of stock
and high prices would mitigate against
the great success of the day for flower
selling. All this happily passed away and
the trade in a general way enjoyed a
record breaking business. It is true that
stock was quite scarce for several days
preceding Sunday, and many of the ship-
ping orders were but incompletely filled.
The prices as a consequence were high,
but no higher than on other occasions
when flowers are in widespread demand.
Carnations alone exceeded the limit; they
seem indubitably prominent as the favor-
ites for the occasion. In these there was
nowhere near enough and prices hit the
high mark in the history of the day. From
$15 to §20 per 100 was the prevailing
wholesale price, but price seemed no ob-
ject; all stock sold. The supply of Roses
was better than that of anything else, but
run a little short on the close of the
week's trade.

The wholesalers as a tmit agreed it was
the best Mother's Day trade on record;
the scarcity of stock only gave zest to the
buying. There wag no time for parley,
buyers who wanted "to shop" generally got
left. The market cleaned up on every-
thing Saturday, regardless of the fact that
considerable consignments came in that
day. These were, however, not so large as
was anticipated; the growers held nothing
back for the closing market; stock came
in as cut from day to day, all through the
week.

The retailers all report a splendid trade.
There was, of course, many complaints as
to prices, and florists by many, were ac-
cused of profiteering, but even with all
this, the business went along without a
hitch, the public paying the price. It is
not for the best interests of the trade that
those high prices should prevail on an
occasion like Mother's Day, but who can
suggest a solution of the situation. When
an individual has to pay 35c. for one
Carnation for a buttonhole one day, and
10c. on some occasion immediately before
or after, it is difficult to explain the sit-
uation satisfactorily to the public at large.
There was a scarcity of American
Beauty Eoses; the local crops were off
and the Eastern markets were called on
for a supply that did not come. Premier
was the highest priced variety offered,
bringing as high, as $35 per 100 for fancy
stock.

The biggest disappointment of the week
was the failure of the Peony crop to come
in quantity. A couple of weeks ago, it
was predicted the crops would be in and
have to go into storage, to hold. Cold
weather for ten days previous upset all
calculations as far as it applied to Peonies.
There was, of course, quite a few with
some dealers, but not near enough to sat-
isfy the trade. The stock also, wag not
of the best quality but all, nevertheless,
sold at prices varying from $1.25 to §3 a
bunch of twelve blooms.

There was enough of orchids and Yalley
but none to spare. Sweet Peas were short
of the demand. In Easter Lilies and Callas
there was a liberal supply but somewhat
unsuited for the occasion. Outside of these
all other stock had a splendid cleanup,
even a large shipment of Statice just re-
ceived was bought up by eager buyers.

Plants were used to a very large ex-
tent; probably the high prices on cut
flowers was responsible for the extra de-
maud for plants.

Tlie Pageant of Progress

There was a meeting of the com-
mittees of the various trade associations
at the Randolph Hotel Thursday after-
noon to consider the ways and means by
which the trade of the city could support
Mayor Thompson in doing its part toward
making the coming exhibition known as
the Pageant of Progress the success it so
well deserves. The trade of the city was
repre.'^ented by committees from the Chi-
cago Florists Club, Chicago Wholesale Cut
Flower Dealers Association, The Commer-
cial Flower Growers of Chicago, and the
Allied Florists Association of Illinois. Geo.
Asmus presided. The meeting went on re-
cord to the effect that it will support
Geo. Asmus in whatever plans that may
be adopted to make this exposition a sue-

GOLDEN YELLOW
SWEET PEAS

"For two seasons, at our retail Flower Store, we have
handled Sweet Peas dyed with "McCLENAHAN'S
YELLOW FLOWER DYE." They are never streaked,
but evenly dyed as though natural; are good sellers,
and last as well as undyed Sweet Peas."
THE BARTELDES SEED CO., Oklakoma City, Okla.

McCLENAHAN'S YELLOW FLOWER DYE will quickly
and uniformly dye white, light pink and rose pink Sweet Peas
to golden yellow, apricot and burnt orange, respectively. For
two years 1 have supplied dyed Sweet Peas to the Oklahoma
City Market and they are now more popular than ever. Sweet
Peas take the dye perfectly. 1 1 never streaks but evenly diffuses
through the petals so the veins are not distinguishable. The
natureil appearance of the dyed flower is so true that the treat-
ment is hardly perceptible.

White Carnations take the dye to a medium yellow, some-
times leaving the central tuft partly uncolored but always
producing a most charming effect. (Not good on rose-pink
Carnations). Roses, too, seem to take the dye as readily as
Sweet Peas. Cecil Brunners quickly take on a beautiful orange.

The dye keeps indefinitely in dry form, dissolves instantly
and one solution will last from one to two weeks.

Price, sufficient for one quart, $1.00, prepaid

Six for $5.00.

General News

There is a notice in all the whole- j
sale houses excepting one, to the follow-
ing effect: "On all sales of flowers one j
per cent will be added to all purchases." ;
This is the latest move on the part of the i
growers and wholesalers to levy from the
retailers who do not belong to the Allied
Florists Association the one per cent for
advertising purposes. This is working well
regardless there is considerable protest on
the part of some retailers who have so
far refused to join the allied association.

In one of the large department stores
last week, a large sign was displayed in
the candy department, "Say it with Can-
dy." As it is said imitation is the most
sincere form of flattery, it is probable no
one will object.

Chas. Bond, the well known orchid grow-
er of Xaperville, 111., was in the city Fri-
day; he is cutting some fine Cattleyas at
present. He has improved his place very
much within the past two years, for he
is an enthusiastic orchid grower and is
desirous of improving and extending his
already fine collection which he finds
rather* difficult to do under existing con-
ditions incident to plant Quarantine 37.

Red Poppy Day

Direct from war-devastated regions
of France, lime. Blanche Berneron has
come to Illinois to arouse interest in a
nation-wide movement to wear a red Poppy
on llemorial Day as a tribute to Ameri-
ca's dead who sleep in Flanders fields.
Mme. Berneron inaugurated her cam-
paign here by speaking before the district
convention of the Illinois Federation of
Women's Clubs at Springfield on Hay 8.
! The mission is a commendable one. The

practicability of the use of the Poppy as
a Memorial Day flower has, however, met
with the approval of the florists of this
country who will, in the ordinary run of
matters, be looked on to supply these
flowers.

The 'May Party and Dance given by the
Chicago Florists Club on Thursday even-
ing at the Randolph Hotel proved to be
a most enjoyable affair. The blue room,
where the dance was held was filled to its
fullest capacity. It is estimated there
were about 200 present. Dancing began
promptly at 8.30 and continued until a
recess was called when the students from
the Department of Floriculture of the
University put on their special attraction,
"The Florist's Shop." A perfect shop was
arranged for the stage setting the com-
plete fixtures being supplied by the A. L.
Kandall Co. The cast of characters were
as follows:

CAST — In order of appearance

Maude, Saleslady Ruth Hopping

A very blase young: lady.

Henry, a "rough" office boy

George N. Morgan

Mr. Slovsky, an irritable Jew

Clinton G. Johnson

Owner of the florist's shop

Miss "Wells, a timid spinster

Gertrude Shumaker

Mr. Jackson, a conceited bachelor . . .

R. Chatfield Hodgin

The play was very much enjoyed as it
brought out so many well known features
of almost daily occurrence in a flower
store. The tendency of Maud, the sales-
lady to sob and use the "soft stuff" when
a baby died, or a good friend departed for
realms unknown was distasteful to the ir-
ritable proprietor Slovsky, and Henry, a
rough specimen of office boy. When Miss
Wells, a timid spinster, called at the store
to find out who it was that sent her a
bouquet of orchids without a card, Maud
was equal to the occasion. Under no con-
ditions would she divulge the secrets of
the business. Orders for funerals and

The Business Smile

Here's a good sentiment. Let's
put on —

^^^^^ HE thing that goes the far-
# ^^L thest towards making life
^L^^ worth while;

That coats the least and does
the most is just a pleasant smile.
The smile that bubbles from a heart

that loves its fellow^men
Will drive away the cloud of gloom and

coax the sun again.
It's full of worth and goodness, too,

with manly kindness blent —
It's worth a million dollars, and doesn't

Tte Market

May 10. — Mother's Day is novr a
red letter day on the florist's calendar. Its
position as such has become safe and
prominent. The public at large has at
last grasped the full significance of its
meaning and gladly takes hold of the
chance to give expression to that feeling
of love and reverence for one's mother,
be she dead or happily still among us,
■which pervades the heart of every normal
human being. It is the one day in the year
when we outwardly and publicly give a
sign of how dearly we appreciate every
act and demonstration of love and self
sacrifice on the part of the most cherished
being on earth — our mother. We have
gone farther than what the plan for the
celebration of this day first contemplated,
for, instead of only wearing a Carnation
in honor or in memory of our dear parent,
we now make her life more pleasant by
a gift of flowers, or we honor her memory
by laying a floral tribute upon her grave.
All this is as it should be and the Nation
will become better for honoring and appre-
ciating its mothers more and more as time
goes on.

The fact that the observation of
Mother's Day has so universally taken
hold of the people has given the florists
of the country another opportunity for
a flourishing trade which, as the years
roll on, is bound to develop into immense
proportions unless untoward circum-
stances nip the coming blossom in the
bud. From several allusions in the Bos-
l:on dailies, and from some editorials in

the same papers, it appears that the pub-
lic has found fault with the florists'
charges for flowers on Mother's Day, and
suggestions, advocating the substitution
of something else in the place of Carna-
tions, have already been made. How far
these charges are just, or whether they
are just at all, we are not prepared to
say at this time. But it certainly looks
as if the matter was wortn looking into
and taking up by the otticials of the
S. A. F. or the publicitv commission.

To say that Mother's' Day fulfilled all
the expectations of the florists in Boston
and all the neighboring to\%"ns and cities
would be putting it too. mild. Mother's
Day business started in earnest on
Thursday afternoon, May 5, sending Car-
nations, in one jump, from 6c. up to 12c.
and 15c. From Friday morning until Satur-
day evening 15c. was the only figure consid-
ered for good, ordinary flowers. Laddie
brought in a good many cases 20c. to 25c.
and, as reports have it, was retailed for
as high as oOc. to 60c. a flower. There
simply was not a sufficient supply of^ Car-
nations; from 25,000 to 50,000 more could
probably have been sold if available.

For want of Carnations, other flowers
of every kind were called upon, so much
so, that on Friday and Saturday evening
the market was totally cleaned out, not
one flower remaining, and on Monday
morning the same thing happened before
nine o'clock, because the retail stores
had, on the Saturday before, sold every-
thing that looked like a flower, and pre-
sented a very dilapitated view toward
evening. Some stores closed the doors long
before quitting time, not being in a po-
[ sition to take any more orders. It was
j some great old time. Carnations were, of
I course, the only flowers really wanted,
I but as the supply was too short on accoimt

of the dark, cold weather existing during
the last ten days, and because the crops
have been on the down grade anyhow,
other flowers were taken in their place.
This did not affect the price of these
substitutes, however. The only flowers
that made an upward move were Roses.
They advanced slowly somewhat and man-
aged to reach from Ic. to 2c. above the
price of one week ago.

Today, Tuesday, the smoke of battle is
drifting away and Carnations came down
to lOc, or the utmost 12c., for choice
stock. Inferior goods go for from 7c. to
8c. There are hardly enough of Carna-
tions to go around yet, as Xew York is
still bidding too high and is drawing away
large quantities.

Am. Beauty Roses have done fairly
well for the last few days. The supply
is limited and 40c. has been realized for
specials, and all lots sold. Other Roses
are still making a penny or two over a
week ago. The stock is of fine quality
and the supply not too large for handling.
Prospects are that the situation will con-
tinue as at present for some time to
come.

There are offers of quite a few small-
flowered Gladioli, Peach blossom and
Blushing Bride. Contrary to other years,
these flowers hang fire and are hard to
move. The asking price is around S2 to
S3 per doz. Mother's Day made a clean
sweep of Antirrhinums, which was a good

thing, as these flowers had been very much
I neglected, although better stock has not
I been seen for many a day. Snapdragons .
I have been much overdone this season. \
: Lilies and Callas are still a little higher!
than a while ago, but are beginning to I
drag again.
i Sweet Peas have gone through a course ■
I of the worst weather imaginable and, in
j consequence, have suffered severely on ac-
j count of their damp condition and poor
1 keeping qualities. The outlook for Sweet
j Peas is now improving as the weather
I bids fair to swing the other way. Of all
} the flowers, not mentioned above, the
1 usual supply is at hand and prices
are normal. Lily of the Valley is not
quoted by some of the wholesale houses,
because the supply of outdoor stock has
brought the price too low. The very best ,
realizes not more than 8c. Cattleyas are
in good supply and meeting with a normal
demand at 50c. for Schrcederse and up to
§1 for good MossijE. Very little is seen
of other orchids.

The supply of in or outdoor greens is
normal and so are prices.

At the coming meeting of the Gardeners
id Florists Club in Horticultural Hall,
aj- 17, President William H. Judson will
!liver an interesting lecture on "New and
esirable Shrubs for New England." Mr.
-adson has been for years connected with
e Arnold Arboretmn where all new in-
loductions are given a tryout. His leo-
re, therefore, ought to prove a great
traction and of considerable interest and
ofit to all gardeners and florists. Speci-
;2n3 and flowering branches of many
I leoies will be on exhibition. Members are
! ivited to bring their friends and also to

keep in mind that there is always room
on the exhibition table for any of their
productions.

While dropping in on Thomas F. Gal-
vin, Jr., on Devonshire St., last Saturday
we^ watched his artists putting on the
finishing touches to a most beautiful cas-
ket cover. The solid groundwork of Adi-
antum was overlaid with white Eoses and
a very broad diagonal band of Cattleys
Mossiie. Streamers of deep purple Pan-
sies fell over the lower edges. This piece
was designed for the funeral of the widow
of Thomas C. Cunningham of the Atlantic
Steel Works. The ceremonies were held
at Mount Auburn Chapel. The store ex-
hibits at all times the choicest that the
market affords in flowers and plants and
business has been extremely good.

John M. Hardyzer, the hustling repre-
sentative of C. R. Buri- & Co., nursery-

He is always a welcome visitor among his
brother nurserymen and therefore is able
to report the booking of many good sized
contracts.

for S5000 damages by Carl F. Wooda,
husband of Catherine Woods. The lady-
maintains that she was poisoned by a
plant of Primula obconica sold to her by
the above firm and which plant was sold
to her, as she claims, under the guaran-
tee that it was safe. Her husband is
bringing suit to recover for cost of ill-
ness and for the loss of the services of his
wife. The case has attracted a good deal
of attention in florist circles.

Signs of returning activities in the di-
rection of greenhouse building are to be
noticed here and there near Boston. W.
D. Howard, the noted Carnation grower
of Milford, is erecting a new Hitchinga
house 219ft. x 36ft. Mr. Howard is bring-
ing to the market some superior strain
of Stocks, well grown and of many fine
shades of color.

Wollrath & Sons, Waltham, Mass., are
also building a new house of good size,
which is to be used mainly for hardening
off and retarding plants before they are
sent to town.

There are a number of other florists who
feel satisfied that the time is at hand
when it is safe to venture forth and grati-
fy that itch for expansion which normally
takes possession of every florist's soul
and ambition as soon as things begin to
look bright.

There is no doubt that Osgood Brothers
of Everett bring to the market the beat
looking Pansy plants. The brothers have
developed a strain of Pansies, so large of
size and of such texture that it is hard to

The Market

May 10. — The demand for flowers
for Mother's Day exceeded all expecta-
tions. The supply had been cut down to
nil by six consecutive days of rain and
cloudy weather. The principal flower of
the day, the white Carnation, was the
scarcest item on the list and the colored
ones almost equally so. There were really
very few good Carnations; the majority
of them were soft and unfit to sell. A
lot of Carnations were cut before they
were fully developed. Prices on all Car-
nations ran 15c. and as high 20c. on white.
The wholesalers practically ceased taking
orders on white Carnations by Thurs-
day.

The demand for all flowers increased in
proportion, with the exception of Ameri-
can Beauty Eoses; they did not sell. The
demand for flowers increased to the ex-
tent that by Saturday forenoon, the mar-
ket was sold up clean. Twice as many
flowers could have been sold. There was
a medium supply of Roses, with white in
first call. Ten cents was lowest on Hoses
and few at that. There were scarcely any
Sweet Peas. Snapdragon was taken as fast
as it arrived; Callas and Easter Lilies
were far short of requirements.

This week is opening up with a demand
that absorbs the supply. It is estimated
that the demand for flowers for Mother's
Day was fully 100 per cent more than it
was last year.

Notes from Around

It is with sincere regret that we
report the death of Hermann Kreim-
berg, salesman with the "Leo Niessen Co.
for the past twelve years. He was stricken
suddenly while at work at the store last
Friday, and died the following afternoon.
Death is attributed to acute indigestion.
Mr. Kreimberg was connected with the
florists' business all his life and his father
was one of the first to handle flowers on
a commission basis many years ago. The
deceased was 48 years old and leaves a
wife and five grown up children. He was
buried from his residence, 4526 N. Car-
lisle at.. May 11.

As a substitute for the white Carnation
for Mother's Day there was a tremendous
call for the artificial article and the supply
houses report selling imitation Carnations
by the thousands.

James Butler succeeds Harold Roberts
as manager at John Stephenson's at Oak
Lane.

Charles Theiss has resigned as buyer
for Frank M. Ross.

The greenhouses of Oscar Young at Mc-
Kinley, Pa., have been leased by Hengel
Bros., of Overlook. Richard Van Den
Hengel will operate the greenhouses while
hie brother Walter, manages the store at
0 verb rook.

The Macaw Bros have a splendid lot
of ferns ready for the spring drive.

HENRY PENN'S MESSAGE
Everybody Sells Something or Loafs

Mystery or Mastery

Have you ever stopped to think that there is no MYSTERY in
Success? It is not something intangible to be stumbled upon by the
lucky few. It is based on law, not luck! It is the result of obedience
to the laws that underlie business activity and human life! It
comes from MASTERY of these laws, and their application to one's
work! To know these laws and to apply them consciously and in-
telligentlv is sure to bring success whatever one's undertaking .
MASTERY is the key-word, not JIYSTERY''! The change of one
letter makes all the difference in the world.

Everybody Sells Something

Adjustment is the word of the hour. Biisiness conditions are
rapidly changing. Just a short time ago there were more buyers than
there were goods. Now the opposite is true. There are more goods
than buyers. Instead of a seller's market, we have a buyer's market.
All business, or in other words, all human activity, in its last analysis
is dependent upon salesmanship. The mechanic sells his skill; the
teacher sells his knowledge; the merchant his merchandise; the book-
keeper his services. Are you dealing in ideas, merchandise or serv-
ice? Your business success depends upon your ability to market your
product, or, in other words, your success depends upon your sales-
manship. . c . - .

Memorial Day Story of a Doughboy's Message and a Frenchman's Gratitude by E. L. D. Seymour

Truth, they say, is stranger than fiction. Similarly, fiction may sometimes supply an inspiration that real life would never
discover. The followmg timely story, the author tells us, is purely imaginary, but it contains, nevertheless, a suggestion
as to a new and unique use of bowers for May 30th, which, rightly acted upon and developed, can bring every florist in the
country increased business at that season. There is plenty of time left in which to pass the idea along to your customers.

BUSINESS \v:is LL'rt:iiuly dull in Hadley and Gil-
piu's .Society Flower Shop that afternoon. It w,is
so dull, in fact, that Charley Mace and Jimmy
Dale, the salesmen, were openly "shooting craps" on
the wrapping counter, while Manager Dillon, with his
chair tipped back against the wall was tigUtiug off
yawns in an endeavor to find something that he hadn't
already read in the last issue of the Weekly Floral
Digest.

"Some paper !" he grunted, at last. "Here it is two
days before May 30th, which ought to be one of our
biggest opportunities if we only knew how to take
advantage of it, and instead of telling us how to drum
up some new business, this 'Busy Florist's Busy
Helper' gives two pages to asking what we fellows in
the trade think about it and ottering a year's subscrip-
tion for the best suggestion on how to make Memorial
Day one of the 'Red Letter' kind. Shucks !"

"Oh, well, we should worry," remarked Mace, to
the accompaniment of Dale's snapping fingers and
muttered pleas to the bones to "roll down them golden
stairs." "You can't expect to do any Memorial Day
business unless you're located on the edge of a ceme-
tery. It's decorations for graves that people want for
the thirtieth and you can't blame 'em for picking them
up at the cemetery shops instead of buying them here
in the city and lugging them out in their arms. Of
course, If you could get folks to send flowers to their
friends for that day you'd be doing something — but
how are you going to get them to do it?"
I "Search me," replied Dale, handing him the ivory
I cubes. "Here it's your shoot — no, I guess it isn't, after
■ all. Who's your old friend with the whiskers?"
i The shop door had opened to admit a tall, slender
I old gentleman, with the pointed goatee and mustaches
I that one associates with pictures of Napoleon the
[ third. His bowed shoulders and lined face told a
tale of age, illness and hardship, which, however, had
been unable to quench an air of quiet dignity and
nobility that marked all his movements and gestures.
He was plainly dressed, almost to the point of shabbi-
ness, but he entered the shop with none of the furtive
diffidence of the mendicant, and stood quietly awaiting
the advance of one of the clerks to take his order.

"Probably wants a ten cent boutonniere to wear to a
reunion of the French Zouaves," muttered Mace, under
his breath, as he slid the dice into his pocket, straight-
ened his tie and moved leisurely toward the front of
the shop. But his interest quickened and his move-
ments became a little brisker as the old gentleman,
seeing him approach, took from the pockets of his
voluminous frock coat handfuls of card envelopes
that he proceeded to stack on the wicker writing
desk by the door until there was a pile of at least half
a hundred of them. Then from a hidden coat-tail
receptacle he took a tissue paper parcel and. unwrap-
ping it, laid on the envelopes several rolls of rich satin
ribbon, in the valiant tricolor of France.

"Monsieur will pardon me, I hope," he began, in a
somewhat hesitating manner and with a distinct for-
eign accent, "if I appear to furnish some of the ma-
terials for which one would naturally rely upon you
Avhose business they are. But I am a little late In
making arrangements that must be carried out at
once, and fearing that you might not have, in the
hand, ribbon such as this — which must be used — I
brought some that I chanced to have, of my own.

"I have here," he continued, as Mace listened at-
tentively, while Dale and Dillon, scenting a mystery,
edged forward to join the two, "cards addressed to
fifty personages here in New York. You will do me
the favor — yes?— to send with each of them, twenty
red Roses, tied with a bow of this ribbon, making sure
:hat they arrive, without fail, on the morning of your
Memorial Day? And if you will kindly tell me the
;ost, I will now write for you a — what do you call it —
)h, yes, a cheque."

"Fifty orders, twenty Roses each ! Pretty good busi-
aess for May 30th after all," mur-
mured Jimmy Dale, as his part-
ner gathered up the cards and rib-
■joon, and Manager Dillon stepped
l-orward to take his place, while
:he old gentleman sat down at the
iiesk and opened his cheque book.
■; "We will be very glad indeed
10 execute your commission, sir,"
|)egan Dillon, taking charge of the
situation. "And I may say that

it is a very gratifying one. .\s to the price, let's see,
Roses are $4.50 a dozen, that would make it $375 in
all. but I think the size of your order warrants our
doing a little better by you than that. Suppose we
say $350 flat? But, if you will excuse my curiosity —
so many orders, just alike, and the ribbon and all —
is it some new organization that I haven't heard of,
some veterans' association? I don't want to appear
curious, but frankly I am interested, I "

"Your curiosity is quite natural," responded the old
gentleman, slowly, as he blotted and tore out the
cheque. "No, there is no organization. It is entirely
a personal matter on my side, at least. And yet, in a
way, it is not so personal. It is — what shall I say? —
the story of an old man's gratitude, to America and
Americans. Shall I tell you? You will not be— what
do you say — impaled, no, bored by him? I will try to
make it tres eve — very short. It will thus be pleasanter
for you and — easier for me." His voice faltered a
little as he spoke and the lines in his face seemed to
deepen, as he leaned forward across the desk toward
his hearers, all three now silent, motionless, sympa-
thetic, sensing a tragedy in the low, measured tones in
which the tale was haltingly begun.

"I, Francois Henri de la Rous, am, as you must
know, of la France. For .many years my little farm
in the Department of the Aisne, but a few kilometers
south of the village of Berzy-le-Sec, was the haven
of happiness. There dwelt in comfort, security and
the .1oy of a busy, independent life myself, my wife,
my daughter, Marie, and my two sons, all of us proud
in the possession and stewardship of the acres that
had been owned by my father and his father before
him. All this until the hideous coming of the world
convulsion in 1914 and the avalanche of the German
hordes over our beloved country.

"What need to tell you of those terrible years— of
the going forth of my sons to be sacrificed in the futile
resistance of the early battles— of the onward sweep
of the Boehe armies toward us, around us, over us
and beyond us toward Paris, of the endless months
and years under their detested rule when, strive as
we might, to raise our crops and make our living in
peace, the efforts of the three of us, through the
malignity of the invaders, barely sufficed to keep us
alive. Unable, then, to fight with the armies of the
Republic — even if age and a crooked leg inherited
from an earlier campaign had not prevented my join-
ing before the retreat — there was I, compelled to
watch the desecration of my beloved valley by the
enemy, and to see my precious ones slave like animals,
only to have the Boche, time after time, plunder and
defraud us.

"And still we were suffered to live. Then came the
whisperings of better times for the Allies— mysterious

rumors of successful counter attacks, of German de-
feats, of their preparations for a general retreat over
the lands that they bad thought never to give up.
As it brought balm and hope to our saddened hearts,
that news, so must it have brought gall and dismay to
those of our dominating invaders. And, Boche like,
that dismay began to show itself in the form of new
brutalities, increased indignities, more cruel and more
wanton destruction. It was as if they would put upon
us the blame and the punishment for their failure, and
upon us wreak the vengeance that they could not
inflict upon their steadily advancing conquerors.

"Came then the fateful morning of July the twen-
tieth. 191S — the day through which I have since lived
how many hundreds of times! For weeks the noises
of battle had been in our ears and the horrors of a
vanquished army in stubborn retreat all about us.
For a time, so long as they had any hope of holding
on, the Boehe had too much to do to bother us, but
at last, with defeat at their very faces and a general
retirement ordered, they seemed to forget about th&
need of fighting, and, instead, they went mad. vi-ai-
ment, giving themselves up to a fury of barbaric des-
poliation. Swarming around our little farm they pro-
ceeded to lay it waste wherever it had withstood the
abuse of the past four years. What food and fodder
they could not load into their wagons, they burned or
trampled underfoot; our little flock of pullets— they
wrung their necks and stuffed them into their knap-
sacks ; Charlotte, our little cow, old Jean our faithful
horse, Poitou the puppy, even— they slaughtered, our
cottage, our barns, our hayricks they set in flames —
while we begged, raged and threatened— only to be
mocked by their grinning, murderous faces.

"And then, came the end. A final detachment of
Prussians who had, apparently, discovered a hidden,
store of ancient wine in the chateau on the hill, their
lustful brutality inflamed by the liquor, swept down
upon us, bent on the destruction of all that remained
to us — our lives, our honor. From the cellar beneath
the smouldering ruins of the cottage, where I had
hidden them, I saw the brutes drag forth Josephine,
my wife, my daughter, Marie — and I, struggling in the
clutches of those who would have dragged me away,
could do nothing— but watch. Yet watch I would not,
I could not. Rather death than the sight of that
desecration. And with a supreme effort I tore myself
away, only to receive through the body the bayonet of
the nearest, half-drunken savage. Yet. as I fell and
before a vast gulf of blackness swallowed me up, I
saw once more the noble, the glorious faces of my
loved ones set in heroic determination, I saw the swUt
movement of their hands, and the glint of weapons,
I heard the single report of two pistols — and I knew
that they, too, had suffered defeat but not dishonor.

;:i * «

"It was like returning to hell, rather than to this
earth to recover consciousness hours later, yet hell by
then had lost some of its devils, for save" for those,
upon many still figures huddled upon the ground,
the uniforms all about me were of the dusty khaki of-
the Americans, our liberators. They — those Yankee,
soldiers — were binding up my wound," which thanks to
the muddled brain and. unsteady arm of the Boche
was serious but not fatal. And as I lay there I savp
others of them, tall, stalwart, clean-faced bovs like my
own that had been taken two years before, filling in
two graves yonder, under the old Oak that had shel-'
tered us for three generations. And I knew that as
they had come to fight and die for us, so had your-
soldiers come with a will to help us in our dailv ti-ials
and tragedies, to lighten our burdens, to allevi'ate our
anguish by giving the tender last care that we might
be unable to give, to those whom we had lost at the .
hands of the foe.

"Yet did they go farther. For when the two graves
were filled, and before the ambulance came to carry
me oft to the shelter of a Red Cross station. I saw
one of your doughboys— all wearied from continuous,
fighting, muddy, unshaven, dark-
eyed as he was — run out across,
the road to where a patch of Lilies
and Poppies were still blooming
unharmed, gather an armful of
the blossoms and hurry back to .
reverently spread them over the,,
mounds of fresh earth. He stood'
for a moment, looking down at
them, and then came, quickly over
^ to where I lay, reached down and ■

pressed my hand witliout a word. There
was pain enough to my heart, le ion Dieu
knows, to blind me to most anything, but
I could see that there were tears in that
big boy's eyes — and. Messieurs, those tears
somehow flowed down into my heart and
washed away a little of its deepest sad-
ness right there and then.

"He would have turned away without a
word, but I held his hand and tried to
find words to thank him. At that he be-
came bashful, confused, tenderly rough
and boyish — as I have since seen so many
of your splendid young men act when one
would express gratitude — and said gruff-
ly, TVhy, that's all right, moon rieuw. It*s
nothing. I — I wish we had come a bit
sooner, that's all. You see we fellows have
got a lot to do to make it up to you folks
for what you've suffered. 'Course we can't
do all we'd like to — we can't bring them
back — ' and he glanced tenderly over
toward the old Oaks, — Taut we want you
to know how we feel, and so, you see, to
use a sort of slogan that we florists were
beginning to talk about when I was back
home, we just 'Say it with Flowers.*
Comprenez vous, mister? How would you
say it? Dites, that's say, isn't it? No,
Disonos — that's it — Disona — avec {that's
with, I know) — les Fleurs. Pretty good
translating for a doughboy, don't you
think?' — And there he was, that brave,
big hearted fellow, making me almost
smile and for a moment, forget.

"Indeed, it has since then seemed better,
in some ways, to try and forget all the
pain and horror of those terrible years.
After the Armistice, after I had recovered
my health, there was nothing for me to
go back to in the Valley of the Aisne —
so I came over here to America at the
suggestion of a doctor I came to know
in the hospital. Through him I obtained
work. I have written a little. I have
taught and translated, le ton fortune has
been kind to me, and I make more wealth
than I ever knew in France.

"Amid such different surroundings it is
almost easy to forget — sometimes. But
every year, at this time, when you would
honor your soldier dead, I try instead to
remember, to remember that 20th of July,
those flower covered mounds beneath the
Oaks, that noble, tender hearted doughboy
florist of yours, and his message, 'Disons
avec les Fleurs.* And messieurs, at those
times I remember more than ever what
I, what we of France, owe to you of
America. It is more than we can in words
acknowledge, it is more than we can in
deeds repay — but there remains the
method that your soldier taught me when
he paid tribute to my dead — the expres-
sion of our thoughts in flowers.

"And so each year it is my privilege,
ray comfort, my soulagement — what you
would call relief — to send a few flowers, a
card, and a bow of the Tricolor to some
here in America who have borne the loss
of their dear ones as the cost of going
to the aid of France. A few such per-
sons I have come to know in my work,
men and women whose sons or husbands
lie under French soil. And if I cannot
find enough each year among my acquain-
tances, then I inquire through your Red

It was the soft closing of the shop door
that brought Charley Mace back to earth
with a start. The old Frenchman had
gone, quietly, with dignity, as he had come;
Dillon and Dale appeared to have sud-
denly developed colds and were blowing
their noses with suspicious violence, and
Charley himself noticed a sort of frog in
his throat and drops of moisture on his
cheeks that didn't seem exactly like
perspiration. He, too, jerked his handker-
chief from his pocket (the dice falling un-
heeded to the floor) and furtively wiped
his eyes as he turned back to the stack
of cards on the counter.

"Quaint old duffer, wasn't he? he re-
marked, swallowing down a sudden both-
ersome huskiness. "Some talker, too;
beteher he could make a good speech. But
I'll say it's pretty darned decent of him to
send flowers to a raft of people he doesn't
know just because one of our doughboys
did him a good turn over there.

Counting the Wearers

A Mother's Day Survey and a Con-
clusion Drawn Therefrom

Last Sunday (May 8) was as perfect
a day in Brooklyn (N. Y.) as the most
critical could ask for. The world and
his wife, therefore, promenaded in great
numbers, and we were given the oopptrtuni-
ty to note whether Mother's Day was being
observed more generally than usual. A
disappointment was in store for us, how-
ever, for after a three hour walk our
count of persons wearing Carnations re-
vealed but 16. Why?

A mother who had been remembered by
her boy said to the writer: "Fifty cents
seems a lot of money for one flower."
Does that expression of thought furnish
the reason?

Supposing that cost of production and
the laws which govern supply and demand
show that the prices asked ( and they
seem to have varied a good deal) were
just and proper, how much do our good
friends, the public, care for these details?
Are we not all agreed on the fact that as
long as one fl,ower is selected for the ob-
servance of the day, an abnormal price
will always prevail for that flower? If
so, what is there we can do to avoid the
attachment of an unpleasant stigma to a
day that is full of the most beautiful
sentiment in the world?

Has not the time arrived for us to ad-
vocate flowers for Mother's Day, flowers
of every kind and not Carnations or any
other flower in particular? L.

now. — Ed.]

Florists and Modern Equipment

Beneath an excellent illustration bear-
ing the caption, "Attractive Floral Shop
of G. F. Forber, Davenport, Iowa, the fol-
lowing appears in the N. C. K. News. It
speaks for itself:

"G. F. Forber, a leading florist of Da-
venport, Iowa, saved the salary of a new
clerk by installing an N. C. R. complete
system.

"Mr. Forber uses a No. 944 (3)-R & S-E
register and a 120-account credit file. The
amount of detail work saved by the sys-
tem amounts to much more than one
clerk's time. In addition, Mr. Forber
knows that all records are correct and
that he is giving his customers the best
possible service.

"In a letter expressing his satisfaction
with the N. 0. R. system, Mr. Forber
says: 'We particularly wish to mention
the credit file. We find after three
months' trial that we have saved the over-
head of an extra clerk. We have fewer
errors, the accounts receivable balance to
a penny with the register, and our state-
ments are ready on the first of each
month. We feel that the credit file will
pay for itself and the register in a year's
time.'

"Before entering the floral business Mr.
Forber worked in a bank. In that work
he learned the necessity for accurate rec-
ords. He is therefore especially well
qualified to Imow the requirements of a
good business system."

Jersey City, N. J.— Callas Bros, ex-
perienced the best Mother's Day sales
they have ever had. They disposed of
15,000 Carnations, and were sold out of
every flower and almost every plant in
their three stores before 1 p.m. on the
Sunday. Over 100 telegraph orders were
handled. They state that if an additional
5000 Carnations had been available, same
could have been disposed of within two
hours, so great was the demand.

June Green Section will
be issued June 4th.

Free Instruction in Make Up

Florists, or members of their families,
or their employees, will be welcome visi-
tors at Mas Schling's, 785 Fifth ave..
New York, from June 22 to July 2.

Mr. Schling intends to devote from five
to six hours per day to giving instructions
in floral work, arranging flowers for deco-
rative purposes, bridal bouquets, table
decorations, funeral work, etc., begin-
ning with the preparation of the single
flower to the finished article. This course
of instruction is absolutely free, and
everybody interested is welcome, Mr.
Schling's only request being that those
intending to attend should register early
at 785 Fifth ave.

Mothers, We Apologize

There is some disagreement possible
as to whether or not "clothes make the
man." But we probably will all agree
that the arrangement, decorations and il-
lustrations in a feature advertisement
have a good deal to do with its effective-
ness. This being so^ we wish some capable
committee of real artists might have been
engaged to censor most of the Mother's
Day ads — or, at least, most of those that
have come under our observation. The
thought of a mother is full of sentiment,
but even sentiment might be expected to
balk at some of the hypothetical portraits
of ''mother'' that have appeared in recent
florist publicity matter. By all means, if
you can use an attractive, appealing face
and figure in your Mother's Day ad, go
to it. But when the alternative is either
a most imrepresentative type of inartistic
maternal unattractiveness or blank white
paper, for heaven's sake put your faith in
type and argument and stick to that
alone!

Ontario

A full page newspaper ad for Mother's Day
was secured through the cooperative ef-
forts of the florists of Hamilton, Stoney
Creek, Waterdown, Burlington, Barton-
ville, Georgetown and Grimsby. Miller &,
Sons of Toronto were also represented.
That the efforts of these gentlemen were
successful in procuring business for
Mother's Day is our earnest hope.

And, by the way, the show of names
on this page ad, practically all of them
retail florists from Hamilton and nearby
towns, is a striking proof of how some
cities are growing in population and im-
portance. We believe that half of these
retail shops have been started within the
past ten years. Here are shown twenty
retail florists harmoniously coming to-
gether for the good of all.

Bartholow that flowers had fallen into the
hands of profiteers. He quickly induced
the leading local paper. The Argus, to pub-
lish above his own name, a statement
which made it clear to local flower lovers
that it would be unnecessary to wear Dan-
delions for Mother's Day. Among the
leading points of Mr. Clark's letter, were
the references to coal costs and wages for

skilled labor — he assured the Reverend
Pastor that it does require skill to pro-
duce flowers. Further, he declared that
prices were certainly not above those of
the past two or three years, and empha-
sized the fact that all people w-ith an un-
derstanding of values realized that a
strong demand must necessarily react if
prices of supplies were limited.

On behalf of Mount Vernon florists Mr.
Clark most vigorously protested against
the term "profiteer" being applied to
them. Judging by the trade reports from
all around, the stupid declaration by the
Rev. 0. F. Bartholow had no more effect
on the public desire for flowers than the
buzzing of a bumble bee in Fifth ave.
would have in increasing the general noise
of New York City.

Perhaps by now he is sorry he spoke.

An exceptionally good Memorial Day advertisement which waa inserted

in the Chicago daily papers last year by the Allied Florists

Association of Illinois.

Five Million Poppies Here

Replicas of Flowers "That Blo-w in

Flanders Fields" to Be 'Worn

on Memorial Day

Five million Poppies, replicas of the red
flowers "that blow in Flanders flelds,"
have arrived in America to be worn on
Memorial Day in commemoration of fallen
heroes. The flowers, most of which were
made by French war orphans, will be
sent by the American-Franco Children's
League, 1 Madison ave., to many patriotic
societies throughout the country for dis-
tribution on Memorial Day.

The proceeds of the Poppy sales will
go to the league for the amelioration of
conditions among children in the war-
torn areas, innocent victims of the war.
The league is a clearing house for relief
work among French children and numbers
of men and women prominent in philan-
thropic activities of both nations.

The Flanders Poppy has been selected
as the memoriam flower because it has
been said by so many to represent "the
soul of the dead." It was immortalized
in verse by John McCrae. Its adoption
as the Memorial Day flower will serve a
threefold purpose — the conunemoration of
the dead, the relief of children in France,
and the tightening of the bonds of friend-
ship between France and America.

New York {Continued from piiyc llfiO)
ran^dl a niaxiiniim prici- for iMotliei's
Diiy. Tlie anxiety and tlir rcbukc« for
the past, few days could have bci-n avoided
and undoubtedly the low prices preceding
and invariably following a fight, such as
that juHt experienced, would he leas likely
to occur. Dark days and cold nightw came
at the wrong time and brought about a
shortened supply to meet an unpi'ecedeuted
demand, speaking particularly of Carna-
tions.

A liigh price for a few days at a holi-
day period and a drugged market before
an<1 after is not as desirable to the grower
as a more even range of prices.

The indignation of the retailer at such
a time as Mother's Day may be iustitied,
but the grower and tlie wholesaler may
growl to little purpose when cuts are
heavy and demand is light, It is a case
of grin and bear it at such times, for the
retailer cannot be prevailed upon to b\iy
more than his actual needs and relieve the
situation.

As ever, we have to contend with Na-
ture and all her moods, and we are con-
trolled by the law of supply and demand,
but from the first day's work of the Na-
tional Publicity Committee, with its won-
derful slogan "Say it with Flowers," it
has proved over and over again that "Ad-
vertising pays."

The payment of assessments are still in
Ont and About

The daily press of this city on Tues-
day of this week, in giving an account of
the arrest of three men connected with the
Postal Money Order frauds in this city,
state that a number of these fraudulent
orders were accepted by retail florists of
this city in payment for flowers, ordered
sent to actresses at the theatres, and more
particularly for flowers ordered for Moth-
er's Day. The names of the retail florists
victims are not given, nor have we been
able through inquiry to learn who these
are.

Sam Seligman of "Sprinkle proof" fame
advises us that he has purchased the in-
terest of his former partner, Irving Stein,
and consequently his florist supply busi-
ness will be conducted under his name only
henceforth.

In the 44th street windows of Dard's
beautiful flower store on Madison ave.,
we noted last week a large and very in-
teresting display of colonial bouquets.
These were made on the usual white lace
paper shields, but the flowers entering into
them were unusual. These flowers were
the three varieties of Statice, namely the
blue variety, sinuata, the yellow bonduelli
and the white, alba. Most of the bou-
quets were of the customary round shape,
but a few were elliptical and still others
of rectangular form. Most of them were
of the ordinary size, but two were im-
mense and in these, beside the Statice
there were Helichrysum buds in the cen-
ter and around the margin. With this
display, tliere were also small wreaths of
Statice. In the Madison ave. window of
this same store there were a number of
baskets of Spring flowers, very tastefully
arranged. In the 44th st. windows also,
was a May Pole display. The May Pole
itself was wrapped with blue and white
ribbon and siirmounted with knots of gold
and silver ribbon. Streamers of baby
ribbon in several colors leading away
from the pole and supporting a blue
circlet near the top of the pole were held
by girls dressed in May Day costumes.
The Queen and the King stood near the
foot of the pole. The work was well done
and the effect pleasing.

Charles A. Dards, who left this city
about Jan. 1 for Europe and who, during
his stay abroad, visited Spain, Portugal
and France, spending some time at the
Kiviera, returned to this city last week.
Harold G. Perry, manager of Dard's store,
will sail for Europe about June 1. He ex-
pects to visit Paris first and will after-
ward go to various parts of Europe to pick
up novelties for the New York store.

A radio message from Sol Hanfling who
sailed on the S. S. Flatland for Europe
on May 7, received by his son, Louis
Hanfling on Tuesday of this week says:
"Feeling well, regards to all, especially
to Baby Cheerio." Mr. Hanfling, as we
previously stated in a former issue, will
be abroad several months, looking up nov-
elties in Europe in florists' supplies for
Autumn and Winter trade of S. Hanfling
Co.

On the Saturday before Mother's Day,
we noted in the store of Clarence Slinn,

in the l.Stli St. (lower .market, a large
Tuuuber of wluit are known now among
Ilini.'^tN aH llu* .Marini'lli Carnations. This,
we belicv<', JH the tirnl time that thcHC
CiiriiatiunM have been otTrrcd through a
wholesaler; lueviiuiMJy they have been sold
to retail ihuists direct.

We have frequently seen in the retail
stores of this city during the Winter sea-
son the bloums of the Shirley Poppy, but
last week we noted at tlie wholesale store
of Nicholas Papas, bkunus of the double
Fringed l*oppy. These were in large and
medium sizes and appeared to be in two
distinct varieties.

Ceorge (J<dsner of College Point, L. I.,
has sold his greenhouse and real estate
located in that town and has purchased
the greenhouse establishment consisting
of 20,UU0 sii. ft. of glass and also five
acres of land of Herman Maniitch at 679
Merrick road, Ruckville Center, N. Y.
John Golsner of College Point has pur-
chased a greenhouse range at Patchogue.

The airplane of Ralph Diggins, which
was to start for Chicago, Wednesday,
May 4, carrying a basket of flowers con-
tributed by Traendly & Schenck, and a
letter from Mayor Hylan of New York
to Mayor Thompson of Chicago, owing to
bad weather was unable to get away from
New York until Saturday afternoon.

Plans are under way for the erection of
a bridge to span the Hudson river from
59th St., Manhattan, to the top of the
Palisades at Weehawken, N. J. The
bridge is to have a central span of 3200ft.
from tower to tower, and the towers will
be 7S0ft. high. It will be double decked,
with provision for eight lines of stand-
ard railroad tracks, two lines for rapid
transit or local service, two lines for
trolley car service, 16 highway lines for
trucks and pleasure vehicles, besides
promenades and provision for pipes and
wires. It is expected that the work of
erecting the bridge will be concluded in
seven years. The cost of the structure
will be $100,000,000, and the cost of the
approaches and necessary improvements
another $100,000,000.

We are informed that the American
Institute will hold an exhibition in the
Engineering Building, 25-33 W. 39th st.,
some time in October next, the exhibition
to cover flowers and fruits of the season.

That those intending to go to the S. A.
F. and 0. H. Convention at Washington
next August must be in a fairly prosper-
ous way is indicated by the statement
emanating from one of them to the effect
that a special train would not be needed
as the majority would elect to go to that
city in their own automobiles.

This office received a call during the
week from three Belgian gentlemen: Prof.
Dr. Dieudonne Van Hove, chief inspector
of the Phytopathologieal Service of Bel-
gium, Charles Pynaert, Vice-president de
la Chambre Syndieale des Horticulteurs,
Beiges, Brussels, and Mr. Sander of
Bruges, who are in this country on be-
half of Belgian under glass interests.

Flower Show Committee
(N.Y.F. C.) Dines

On Saturday, May 7, at the Biltmore,
the members of the N. Y. Flower Show
Committee partook of a substantial sup-
per together, partly in celebration of the
successful outcome of the recent big
flower show held in this city and partly in
consultation as to future shows. Good
comradeship, witty conversation, trade
and fishing stories were indulged in dur-
ing the repast, after which, turnmg to
business matters, F. W. Payne made the
formal announcement that the Grand Cen-
tral Palace would be no longer available
for exhibition purposes, it having been
definitely resolved to fit up this structure
into business offices. Mr. Payne pointed
out one or two buildings that might
answer temporarily for flower show pur-
poses, and also indicated one or two
available sites as possibilities of a great
exhibition building in the near future.
After discussing the situation it was con-
cluded that just at present the committee
was not in a position to make its final
report before the club at this time.

A pleasurable feature of the evening
was the presentation to A. L. Miller, by
tlie N. Y. Flower Show Committee, of a
sitecial award which took the form of a
silver service. It will be remembered
that Mr. Miler made a splendidly attrac-
tive display of plants on the mezzanine
floor, flower show week, which contributed

wondertuJIy to the toutv enacmhlc. He
wuH inspired to d<> this through no per-
gonal motive for gam, but simply through
lilH keen desire to help along the exhibi-
tion, All who visited it that week rea-
lized how well he filled the gap, and with
his diHi)lay turned what liad been in the
previous years somewhat of a dreary
corner into one of the must charming
viewri of tiie whole show. At the time
he was awarded a gold nu-dal and this
later award was made in fuller recog-
nition of liis good work.

The opportunity is here presented to us
of offering our tribute to the gentlemen
of tlie Flower Show Committee, None
can realize the valuable time these men
(nearly all of whom are engaged in large
business enterprises} have sacrificed for
the good of the industry. They deserve
and should have very special commenda-
tion, and we hope that the N. Y. Florists
Club will, at their discharge, recognize
their efiorts in some more tangible way
than by a mere standing vote of thanks.
The credit for the success of the 1921
show must go almost entirely to them.
And we believe we are correct in the as-
siunption that the success which resulted
is due in great part to the unanimity and
splendid spirit of cooperation existing be-
tween them.

Boston (Continued form page 1 1 65)

lirid tiieir equal. The range of color and
the multiplicity of shades is also aston-
ishing. No wonder then that the demand
for seed is far larger than they are able
to supply and that they are ofl:"ered solid
premiums on all the output of their little
seed farm.

There is a universal complaint from flo-
rists that English Daisies have wintered in
very poor fashion, so badly indeed with
many that every plant was lost. The grow-
ers are puzzled to explain the reasons for
this behavior of the little plants, more so,
as there is usually very little trouble in
bringing English Daisies through the se-
verest Winter.

The Boston American printed the follow-
ing on May 7: "Tomorrow will be Moth-
er's Day. Several million mothers will
get up and go to work as usual, before
the rest of the family and will not know
much about Mother's Day. Every day is
Mothers Day for them — a day on which
the mother does the work and the worry-
ing for the others. In one spot on the
Hudson River florists charged too rmich
for Carnations that go wifh Mother's Day.
.So the cithens decided to wear Dandelions
instead. Highly appropriate. The average
day of the average mother is better repre-
sented by a plain Dandelion than by a
fancy Carnation."

To show to what an extent the old-fash-
ioned greenhouse plants have disappeared
from greenhouses and private estates the
following is submitted. One of Boston's
largest florist houses tried in vain to se-
cure a handfull of the beautiful flowers
of Stephanotis floribunda, the waxy, richly
fragrant blooms of which are remembered
by all true florists of twenty and more
years ago. The flowers were super-
abundant around Boston not so many
years ago.

Joe Fiiller of Leominster drops into the
city once in a long while and is always
heartily greeted by his many friends. He
paid a flying visit to Boston day before
Mother's Day, looking as cheerful as ever.

Penn's store on Tremont st. has been
displaying for some time a number of
vases filled with superfine greenhouse
grown Gladioli of the choicest varieties.

Thomas Stock, the veteran Dorchester
florist, who has for over a year been un-
der the weather, is fast gaining his for-
mer health. Mr. Stock comes from
Bedfordshire, England, where John
Bunyan wrote his "Pilgrim's Progress." He
arrived in this country 57 years ago, after
a ten weeks' voyage on the sailing vessel,
"American Union." When he is so minded,
John can spin some yarns.

Tom Meade, another old timer, former-
ly with Breck's, and with Fottler, Fiske &,
Rawson Co. is also getting oyer a siege
of illness of more than a year's duration.

The first week this month has seen
planting out of Carnations in full swing. A
few growers have all their plants in the
field; the majority will be done with
planting in a few days.

Samuel J. Goddard of Framinghara
makes his trips to the city now in a brand
new Hudson car. He has flnished plant-

ing out and can afford to take some trial

spins.

A jinx may be a cute little beast for
all wo know, but woe to Mr. Jinx when
W. A. McAlpine once lands on the neck
of tlie little devil who lately has so per-
Histcntly made his inoffensive career a
continuation <.f mishaps and his life a
burden. Nr.t sn long ago friend Jinx
tried ever so hard Ui show W. A. the
easieKt way to break one's neck, while
climbing over an embankment in an au-
tomobile and making the landing below in
on<t whooj) and a treble somersault. Of
course, a little dn.p of 40ft. does not
feaze young McAlpine much; he gave Mr.
Jinx a good boost from the rear, said
good-bye to the remains of the car and
went his way, forgetting all about his tor-
mentor until two weeks ago, when Jinxy
went and made a bonfire of Mr. McAl-
pine's barn down at Scituate, and barn
and a Stutz touring car, together with a
Ford sedan, are things of the past. Mr.
Jinx, take warning! There is some Ver-
million in W. A.'s eye.

This from the Boston American: After
he had acted like a cad," she said, "he
thought he could make me forget by offer-
ing me a bunch of Roses. I threw them
in his face." "I see. You said it with
flowers."

With May first comes the Queen of
May, but how about the little fellow who
came to brighten the home of Max Lakin
on that day? Max calls him his little
King of May and spent the day offering
big, fat cigars to his large circle of
friends. It was the first born, so we'll
forgive him.

Charles F. Boyle, president of the house
of Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., of 1 Park st.
and 799 Boylston st. was married Saturday
night, April 30, to Miss Margaret E. Col-
lins, daughter of the late Mrs. Margaret
Collins of Arlingtonn. The ceremony was
performed, following a nuptial mass in
St. Agnes Church, Arlington, the pastor,
the Rev. Mathew J. Flaherty, celebrating
the mass and tying the nuptial knot.

Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., furnished the
decorations for the banquet of the Na-
tional Real Estate Association at the
Somerset Hotel on the night of April 30.

Penn's store on Tremont st. made elabo-
rate preparations for "May Day," May 1.
Not only were the windows of the store
lavishly and appropriately decorated with
an unusually eharmins selection of May
D^y baskets, filled with all kinds of Spring
flowers, Roses, etc., but a good deal of
attention had been paid to advertising the
event in all the local papers of Boston
and vicinity. The ads were well worded,
of course, and carried large representa-
tions of May baskets and bouquets. The
response from the public was instantane-
ous and the amount of business done this
May Day week went beyond all expecta-
tions. Orders for the baskets advertised
were still numerous a week after May 1.

Captain Duncan Robertson and his
faithful crew are working like good fel-
lows in the store annex, where the piles
of wreaths, sprays, etc., for Memorial Day
are getting higher every day.

Wabau Rose Conservatories Sold

The receiver's sale of the Waban Rose
Conservatories at Natick took place, as
advertised on Monday, May 9, 3 p.m., on
the premises. The weather was fine and
a good number of florists from Boston
and vicinity were in attendance, alto-
gether about 100. The property was of-
fered in several separate lots, but the per-
sonal property sale was not carried
through to the end, notice being given that
it is to be continued in the Federal build-
ing, Boston, at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, May
11.

One parcel of land, seven acres and
buildings brought $3500. Another parcel
of seven acres situated on a lake, went for
'^750. The greenhouses, of which there are
over 24, some of them from 650 to 950
feet long and the total representing 160,-
000 feet of glass, together with 55 acres
of land, started a bid of $20,000 and by
$1000 bids, went up to $29,000 in the end.
The bidding was done entirely by repre-
sentatives of the mortgagees avIio, in the
last instance, had the property knocked
down to them. The Park Trust Co. of
Worcester figured as the buyers. The
personal property realized rather fair
prices as far as the sale went, but as
mentioned above, the rest of the sale was
postponed until Wednesday.

VINES

MOONVINES

The wonderful _ Giant Moonflower, Ipomoea
Maxima — a giant in growth and flower and won-
derfully fragrant. This grand new Moonflower is
3 decided improvement over the old well-known
variety Ipomcea Grandiflora. The flowers are
more than twice the size of the old variety, often- '
times measuring from 6 to 7^ in. across, and are
produced in such wonderful profusion that they
completely cover the vine with a veil of glistening
white. I^ne plants.

New Moonflower. Heavenly Blue. This makes
a splendid companion plant to the White Moon-
flower. It is equally rapid in growth, and a much
freer blooming vanety than the white one. The
blooms come in clusters of five to twelve, and
at times almost hide the vines. The flowers are
the most heavenly blue, with reddish-purple rays,
and 6 in. across. Nothing is more beautiful.

We have a splendid lot of these Vines which we
will close out at the price of $4 per 100, $37.50 per
1000.

suggest for the occasion she said. "By all
means Johnny Jump Ups for the baby."
The play was well received with the ex-
ception of Proprietor Slovsky, an irritable
Jew, whose characteristics were more
suited to a storekeeper of the Ghetto than
to an iintodate flower shop as represented.

Dancing was again indiilged in after tiie
show and kept up until a late hour. There
was no business meeting; the committee of
arrangements had provided so much en-
joyment for the eveninc;. the business meet-
ing was crowded out and was therefore
postponed until next month.

The six passenger limousine flyer of
Ralph Diggins arrived here Sunday from
New York, having spent seven and one-
half hours in the air, and taken two days'
actual time. The plane left New York
Saturday morning and made Cleveland in
approximately four hours, and was de-
tained there. It left Cleveland at 10.30
a.m. Simday and reached Chicago at 3.45
p.m. Being the first of what is proposed
to be a commercial air plane line, it car-
ried six passengers and freight. On this
was a basket of flowers from Mayor
Hylan of New York to Mayor Thompson
of Chicago, with a letter of greeting. The
New York mayor added, and "I say it
with Flowers."

Carl Hagenberger, West Mentor, Ohio,
is sending to this market some exception-
ally well grown specimens of French
Hydrangeas. He has a line of the most
attractive varieties.

The new shipping basement recently
installed by the Chicago Flower Grow-
ers Association is the largest in the city-
and a wonder in its convenience and equip-i
ment. In addition to the handsome re-l
frigerating chambers already in place, a*
still further addition is proposed. As the
basement extends well under the sidewalk
it is well lighted as the sun shines daily
through the prisms above with scintillat-
ing effect. It is so well fitted up that
Manager Klingsporn may some day offer
it as a suitable place to hold one of the
trade conventions, either State or Na-
tional.

E, J. Delaney, Hollywood, Cal., has been
in the city for several days, coming with
two carloads of Statice. The stock he
brought came in such fine condition that
it found immediate sale, and he has since
been busy booking orders for a second
delivery. While in the city, Mr. Delaney
accomplished two laudable actions in sub-
scribing for The Florists' Exchanok,
and joining the Chicago Florists Club.

W. F. Therkildson, until recently man-
ager of the agricultural department of
N. W. Ayer & Son, advertising agents,
Philadelphia, is now connected with and
vice-president of Critchfield & Co. of Chi-
rago, in which organization his fvitiire is
bioadoned considerably in that he is not
confined to agricultural accounts exclu-
sively as was the case when he was with
Ayers.

"A Little Thing To Look For
But A Big Thing To Find"
Is This Sign Of Quality

siglirlofdIiMfaflmto.

IRVINGTON

NEW YORK
42d Street Building

CHICAGO

A few years ago one of the big clothing makers of
the country, speaking of their name label sewed on the
inside of their coats, said: "It is a little thing to look
for, but a big thing to find."

You'll agree that was a mighty good phrase. It
said so much in so little. It just made you feel as if a
coat with that label in it was just all a coat should be.
Some of us even went so far as to be careful to fold
our overcoats with that label so it could be seen. In
confidence, just between ourselves, you and 1 kind of
figured that letting it be known that we wear those
Quality Clothes kind of gave us a standing of quality
and we didn't mind having folks know it.

Last year when we decided to put a label on our
houses in the form of the above handsome bronze name
plate. Premier Gardens houses at Maywood, Illinois,
was the first place it was used. Mr. Weiss requested
that it be "put over every door so whoever passed
through would be sure to see it," as he said. He had a
pride in having it known that his houses were the
L & B brand.

To quote Robert Simpson, of eastern rose growing
fame: "1 had always wanted to own Lord & Burnham
houses, as I felt they were the best that could be built.
Aside from the pride of their possession, knew that a
man with the best tools can do the best work."

Gradually we will have our bronze name plate on
every house we have built, when owners desire it.
But it will take some time to get around with our little
old screw drivers to put them up. If you want yours
right away, just drop us a card and will send you one
to put over the inside door of each of your houses.

"It's a little thing to look for, but a big thing to
find."

Heacock's Hitchings House

The Joseph Heacock Co., at Roelofs, Pa., has three big iron frame
rose houses. The last one is Hitchings built. It is practically
a duplicate of the recent Coddington houses at Murray Hill.

In fact, it was after visiting the Coddington range, and then
looking over our factory facilities, that Mr. Heacock decided to
place the order with Hitchings.

Mr. Coddington puts much stress on the way his gables are
braced, and his freedom from glass loosening. In fact, we are
happy to say that Mr. Coddington's oft expressed satisfaction has
been the deciding factor a good many times in the purchase of
Hitchings Built Houses.

Having in the last quarter of a century built dozens of houses
for Mr. Coddington, covering acres and acres, you can see why Mr.
Heacock was influenced in our favor.

After all, what is more satisfactory than a satisfied customer ?
If you would like to hear straight from some of our satisfied cus-
tomers, the reasons for their satisfaction, we will gladly arrange
to have you call on as many as you incline.

And you know we go anywhere for business. Or to talk business.

The Heacock house is 70 feet wide and 600 feet long. The gable center door slides
and has a door within the door.

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to oar customera that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds last Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
In. high and was covered the entire season with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2>2 in. across, while the individual flower would be J^ of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with Alter-
□antheras as a border plant.

Being an earlv bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

marked improvement from year to year, and I feel confident that no better strain can be had anywhere.

Hardy and Cool House Primulas

There are probably 200 or more species and varieties of hardy Primulas. The attached article

describes some of them and suggests their culture for commercial purposes. There must be money

in some of them. Why not try out a few?

The previous article ou Hardy I'riuiroses (see page
1U75, May 7) dealt with the eouimoii Primrose, Prim-
ula vulgaris aud its varieties. These while aftordiiig
a variety ot colors, do not materially differ in form
and, in a general way, are not wholly amenable to
strictly pot culture.

There are. however, a large number of species of
Primulas, excluding the more tender forms, such as
P. sinensis, I', malaeoldes, P. obconica, etc., which
thrive in pots and which are hardy enough to resist
ordinary outdoor conditions or, at least, call for no
more protection than a frame or coldhouse will pro-
vide.

It may safely be said that the list of hardy her-
baceous Primulas and hybrids from same runs into
hundreds and large numbers of them are easily raised
from seed.

Some of the species are not easily procurable, ex-
cept as plants, and as these are, for the most part, in
the hands of European specialists, we perforce must
ignore them until such times as seed is available or
an enlightened control board makes it easy to obtain
them.

True, not all the hardy species of Primulas have a
commercial value from the pot plant grower's point
of view, although the specialist, catering to people
with a jpenchaut for alpine plants, would have no
difficulty of disposing of rare or little known sorts.

The Auricula

One of the most important of hardy Primulas is the
old, old Auricula, "Reckluses" some old-fashioned
people persist in calling them. •

Primula auricula originally was yellow, and its
counterpart is doubtless to be found on the Swiss
mountains today. For some reason, the plants when
first taken up for cultivation in Britain about 1600.
were both glossy and mealy leaved, the meal appear-
ing not unlike sulphur, and distributed over the entire
plant even the flowers showing traces of it. Certain
of the Chinese species have this character particularly
the wonderful P. Winteri. The old florists accord-
ingly developed both types of Auriculas but they ap-
parently set great store by the mealy type. Their
named varieties, many of which are still in cultivation,
are truly remarkable because of this meal-like cover-
ing, but whether it is due to changing fashions or
difflculty of culture, the fact remains that the growers
of them are gradually dying out and, as a conse-
quence, the National Auricula Society of England is
declining also.

Tricky and slow the named Auriculas may be, yet
their flowers are well worth striving for. The won-
derful trusses, with individual pips almost two inches
in some cases, range through the gamut of red and
yellow shades, with beautiful purplish light gray and
lavender, to say nothing of the rich green tints.

All have a strongly defined eye or circle, which
varies from white to black, according to the color of
the blooms. The smooth leaved forms of more recent
development are classed as Alpine Auriculas, but to
all intents, they are simply a free growing type, and,
being mostly yellow, are as hardy as the common
Primrose, and bear wonderful trusses.

Seed of the florist's Auricula is offered in choice
mixture and it is possible that some interesting if
not valuable results may be obtained in this way.
Grown on in pots in a frame, the florist's Auricula
makes a fine hobby plant and while slow it is safe
to say that the public if given a chance to see them
in variety, would readily take a liking to them. The
Alpine type, too, does well in pots ; the writer knows
an old lady who takes a great pride in her "Reck-
luses." Her plants stand outdoors in a shady place
during the Summer; in the Winter they are given a
window in a room without heat. Every Spring she
gets her crimson and yellow flowers yet I question
whether she has divided her plants for years.

Pagoda-L!ke Types of the East

The introduction of many species ot Primulas from
the far East has provided a new interest, many of
them producing their flowers in tiers, while others
L.scarcely recognizable as Primroses. One of the ear-
liest and most notable discoveries was P. japonica.
Robert Fortune was the first to get fertile seed into
England in 1S71 ; many previous attempts having
^failed.

f!eed from the cultivated plants germinated readily
■ iiifl in a few years a number of new forms were
raised from it. P. japonica is now available in many
^llalles. P. pulverulenta has the same habit of flow-

ering in tiers, often sending up spikes .3ft. tall. These
I'rimulas are iiarticularly jiarlial to cool and moist
situaticnis, and it is because this fact is fully realized,
that such success is achieved with them in Great
Britain. Much the same conditions can be made to
prevail here.

Where They Thrive

'Neath the shade of trees and alongside shady
ditches and pools, many of tliese Primulas could sur-
vive the average Winter. It is usually said that the
Winters of England are particularly trying to humans
and plants because of the changing conditions, yet
they both survive. Must we then assume that the
Chinese hardy I'rimulas flourish in England because
the growers are determined to have them?

Bailey saj-s : "It is commonly assumed that the
hot American Summers are against Primulas." Maybe
it's just that. Pure assumption ! One may meet many
who are sure or who assume that this, that and the
other will not survive our Summers or our Winters,
regular "crabs" they are and, because of their as-
sumption, and maybe because so many have looked at
the commercial side only, the hardy plant trade has
been neglected. But to return to the Primulas.

A Bell-Like Species

The striking P. sikkimeusis attracts because of its
mealy foliage and bell-like yellow flowers. It is one
of the parents of the new greenhouse Primula, Kewen-
sis, which blooms in Winter.

Lissadell hybrid is a real gem, coming from P.
pulverulenta X P. coekburniana. Through the crim-
son of the former, and the orange of the latter, we
get a wonderful combination.

Beesiana, fully 2ft., has striking whorls of purple
flowers; then Bulleyana, 2y2ft.. with orange yellow
trusses, tier above tier. Poissonil has rosy flowers in
whorls on thin wiry stems; Vittata is almost a pur-
ple sikkimeusis, and Wardii, a dwarf form with lilac
pink trusses.

A giant is Mrs. Berkeley, the charming pink pul-
verulenta; Veitchii is deep rose; secundiflora a fairly
new sort with purplish flowers after the style of sik-
kimeusis ; denticulata with its ball-like heads of bloom
in various .shades of lilac, including Cashmeriana hy-
brida, the large form.

The Brightest Pink Primrose

Nor must we forget the glorious rose pink flat
trussed rosea, it must be seen in the mass. Quite
dwarf in habit and dainty in pots. P. Sieboldi par-
talics of the P. obconica type, and striking strains of
It have been developed through intercrossing. P. capi-
tata is another of the ball-like type.

Unlike Any Other

One of the most remarkable is P. Littouiana, which
has mauve, cone-like heads with red tips, is quite un-
like any other Primula. P. muscariodes, a rare form,
has blue flower spikes.

Hybrids in Mixture

These are but a few of the varieties and types that
have come into vogue in latter years.

Hybrids strains are fairly common, and it is curi-
ous to note that the Beesiana X Bulleyana hybrids
give larger flowers and greater variety, than when
the parentage is worked in the opposite direction.

The hybrid strains are particularly interesting as
one never knows what may be forthcoming.

Raising Them from Seed

The general culture of all these Primulas including
the Auriculas is much the same.

Like all Primulas, the seed is somewhat erratic and
slow to germinate, especially when not fresh. Gen-
erally speaking, Primula seed should be sown as soon
as it is ripe, but as this cannot always be done, one
has to rely upon seed from the previous season.

Resentful of heat and demanding shade and mois-
ture all the time, the seed is best sown in pans of
light soil with plenty of gritty sand in it.

A coldframe, heavily shaded, and a piece of glass
over each pan affords an ideal propagating atmos-
phere. For general purposes, the seed may be sown
any time during the Spring and Summer months.

As the seed germinates unevenly, it may be sown
fairly thickly, providing the seedlings are pricked as
they become large enough. Dryness at any time dur-
ing the early stages spells loss. Naturally, these
Primroses grow in cool locations, and the seed prob-

ably falls among grass or other mutter which holds
moisture and protects it from drying out.

Whether the seed germination can be hastened by
.soaking or acid troatmenf, this writer has not tested.
It Is just possible that some sort of treatment would
quicken tlie germ, for unlike the Cyclamen, which is
also of the Primula family, Primula seed does not go
through the metamiorpliosis of bulb making, before
developing leaves. However, as Primula seed is both
small an<l exjienslve, it would be unwise to experi-
ment on any sjiecially choice types.

After Treatment

Pricked <mt into other pans when in the rough leaf,
the seedlings will grow steadily in the frame, but
every care must be taken to ward off woortlice and
other sucli vermin which have a partiality to Primula
seedlings. Later, the seedlings may be potted off into
small pots.

If a house affords better facilities, the plants may
be raised and grown on in such quarters.

A partially sunk house with solid benches is to be
preferred; the solid benches are almost essential and,
if the pots or pans are plunged in ashes or fibre, the
better the plants do and the less trouble with watering.

Solid Beds and a Sunken House

A sunk house is not a costly proposition, for if
made about 12ft. wide the center path alone needs
cutting out, and the sides bricked or concreted up.
The benches are thus on the normal ground level and,
with the sides and roof kept as low as possible one is
sure of a real growing atmosphere. One needs to see
tuberous Begonias, etc., growing in such a house to
realize how useful is a low roof and a sunk path for
subjects that like a cool bottom and moist atmosphere.

Minor Considerations — But Important

For the Winter, Primli'oses require a low tempera-
ture and careful watering. No more heat than is
necessary to prevent solid freezing is required and
in these days of high coal prices this is a considera-
tion.

With lengthening days, the sun heat will encourage
growth, and by careful ventilation and water control
it will be found possible to have plants in bloom both
early and late.

OF all florist's flowers, so called, there are none
that compare with the Pansy for popularity
with the people.

The young, the old, rich and poor alike, are at-
tracted to them by their smiling funny faces.

It is with great pleasure that we recall our experi-
ences with Pansies in our early gardening days. We
were presented with a flrst-class set, with the allot-
ment of a section of a border in which to plant them.
They comtprised the popular sorts of the day ; Eng-
lish shows and selfs, and fancy Belgian blotched.
How carefully we tended them, hoeing the one even-
ing and watering the next. Decayed flowers were
regularly removed, the result being that we were
rewarded with some fine blooms. These were all
named varieties, all the notable people having Pansies
named after them.

The standard for judging Pansies has changed but
little; only size has changed, from a flower 1^4 in. in
diameter we now expect a flrst-class Pansy to measure
from 2%in. to .3in. A good Pansy should be round,
made up of rounded petals, the latter of good sub-
stance, not flimsy. These with the proper shades of
coloring are some of the qualities of a first-class
flower. For the wonderful improvement of the mod-
ern Pansy, we are indebted to the specialists in this
and other lands who have been raising seedlings and
making selection, each according to their own ideals.
Some have made a blend ot the best of all types, giv-
ing us what may rightfully be called American Pan-
sies. To bring them to this high state of perfection
required much patient and persistent effort, and to
keep them up to the present high standard will re-
quire work, and to advance the standard will mean
more work. As it appears to us, there is a golden
opportunity for some young nien of ambition to take
up and make this their life work. What more pleas-
ant and profltable occupation could they have?

.V start could be made in a small way ; a small
piece of land would be sulficient but the location how-
ever, would be most important. It should abut on
a much traveled public highway, and laid out in such
a way that people passing in autos and other vehicles
could stop and examiine mal;ing selection for either
seed or plants right on the ground. Further, through
the trade press, the whole of this great country can
be reached.

Uealiiiv: and a fortune Is assiiroil. Tliat is as it ap-
peals to us. Alexander MacLell^vn.

[Witli the {.'I'lUTal i-oiiiarlis of out- oorresponilcut we
coucur but we are iiioilued to tliini; tluit bis memory
of old-time Tausios is leading* liim astray wbeu be
speaks of IViin. tlowers. Fifty or more years ago
Pansies were anions tlie ^-reatest of tlorist's tlowers,
and tlie ICuglisb and .Seottisli fanciers made their cul-
ture somethini: of a fetlsli.

rrom the days of (Jorard. who wrote about the
Pansy in loST to isl.'i wlien Lord (Sambier and his
gardener, Tliomi'son, funductcd tlioir lirst experiments
on the wild Heartsease, I io/ci tricolor, is a long
stretcli. but their work brought results, for in 1841
Thompson described the progress he made, gradually
removing the tendency toward elongation of petal and
mailing them round, until they became the show or
English type. Having ouce blazed the trail Thompson,
lll;e EcUtord with his Sweet Teas, soon had a follow-
ing. However, it was not until about 1S50 that Show
and Fancy I'ausies became recognized types, and
shows became a regular feature, lu the north of
England, the Pansy and Viola Society still holds its
annual exhibition, and it is donlitful whether one will
find named kinds on view in any other countrj-.

It was by careful selection that the large blotclies
were developed ou the Show Pansies. Thompson re-
ported his first break iu this direction in 1S41, but it
was around IUSO before the old florists had reached
their ideal of clear blotches and well defined margins.
Tlie size of these Pansies was not far removed from
present day standards.

Prior to this perfection stage being reached (in the
early thirties) the English Pansies were introduced
into France and Belgium. The French and Belgians
saw things with different eyes, and they worked with-
out regard to the English aims and, when the results
of their work got back into England about 1S4S, they
came to be called Belgian, afterwards Fancy Pansies.

The Fancy Pansies with their more gaudy and less
stereotyped coloring, more or less put the Show type
under a cloud.

Scotland after 1860 became a great Pansy country
and it is doubtful whether Scottish grown flowers
are equaled. We have handled flowers that almost
covered the palm of the hand. But while the Pansy
has never lost east in Britain, it has been largely
eclipsed by the Viola, a type raised by crossing the
Pansy and V. cornuta. ■^"iolas are sold by the million
in the British Isles, all propagated from cuttings, and
where one grower or gardener handles Pansies, a hun-
dred grow Violas which, in many instances, are as big
as Pansies but more floriferous.

The growers and raisers of named Pansies are al-
most entirely confined to Scotland. The leading mar-
ket growers of Pansies have their own strains and
It may be truly said that no one can ever buy seed
that will produce a high percentage of Pansies worthy
of being classed with those named by the Scotch flo-
rists.

True, one may get some good ones but it is only by
following the suggestion of our correspondent; viz,
working and working that one may hope for Pansy
seed worth its weight in gold.

One may today obtain really choice strains ranging
in price up to $1.5 or more an ounce, or one may
invest just a dollar or so, for the same quantity; the
returns will be in keeping with the amount paid. One
has a choice of types and if one has the true florist's
eye he will soon discriminate. Habit of plant must
not be overlooked.]

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

In two recent issues of your excellent journal ap-
peared notes by H. Langeler and "Woolgatherer" con-
cerning a piece of research done at Washington in 1919
by Garner and Allard. When I first read the report,
Journal of Agricultural Research, Vol. XVIII, No. 11,
March 1, 1920, it struck me as being of great im-
portance to florists, since it expressed a rather new
angle on the behavior of plants.

The attention of the authors was first called to this
matter by the behavior of a certain mammoth To-
bacco. This plant, when grown iu the field, would

; never produce flowers, but by cutting off the top In
the Fall, removing the roots to the greenhouse, and
a new top formed which bore flowers. Again, plants
from seeds sown in the Fall and kept growing in the
greenhouse, flowered and formed seeds during the
Winter. Remove these same plants to the outside

iand they would take In the mammoth form and be
cut down by frost before more flowers were formed.

The suggestion came that this might be due, pos-
sibly, to the length of day, or daily exposure to sun-
lisht. so they planned an experiment to try it out.

The idea was to place the i)lauts In u dark house, ex-
posing tliem to llghl for only part of the day. 11 was
found that by culling down the exposure to Ave hours
^lU a.m. to ii p.m.) the plants so treated were made
to bloom from two to three mouths before those plants
normally exposed to light. Under a seven hour ex-
posure til a.m. to 4 i).m.J the lest plants bloomed two
mouths early. The treated plants, of course, did not
make the same size as the untreuled.

The same experiments were tried with u number
of other species, with varying results. Wild Asters,
Kagweed and Soy Beans were made to bloom earlier
than the controls. Ullmbuig Hempweed became a
vegetative perennial. Kadishes, Carrots, Lettuce, Cab-
bage and Hibiscus moscheutos, grew very slowly or
were quite checked.

An interesting set of experiments was carried ou
with Soy Beans, which are used extensiveely by plant
physiologists as test plants. Four varieties were se-
lected ; early, medium, late and very late, maturing
umler normal conditions iu the field. A field test was
made by planting seeds of each variety every four
or live days, beginning April 9, and continuing until
August 20. The first set, planted April 9 , required
the following number of days from the time the
plants appeared above ground until the first blossom
was formed : Mandarin, 40 days ; Peking, 67 days ;
Tokyo, 87 days ; Biloxi, 125 days. As later plantings
were made, the period of time from germination to
blooming was shortened in every case, as witness the
periods for the planting made on July 29. Blooms
were obtained on all four varieties: Mandarin, 21
days ; Peking, 35 days ; Tokyo, 40 days ; Biloxi, oS
days. Here the time of blooming was reduced by a
little less than 50 per cent in the case of the two
earlier varieties and by more than 50 per cent in the
case of the two later varieties. There was a reduc-
tion in the size of the plants; In the case of Biloxi
some of the earlier sowings reached a height of 62
inches, while that of July 29 reached a height of
about 30 inches.

These results were used as a check ou the results
obtained exposing the plants to the light of day for
limited periods. It would seem from these results
that the earlier varieties respond to a longer day
length, but that the later maturing varieties will not
mature until the daily exposure to light has fallen
below 12 to 14 hours.

What bearing does this have on florists' crops? It
may explain why we cannot force certain plants into
bloom very much earlier than bloom would occur out-
side. The Aquilegia is an Instance. It means that by
a proper system of shading we might be able to re-
strain certain plants from blooming until a later
period ; as the bulb plants, if it were desirable. Why
do Darwin Tulips bloom later than the Due von
Thols? These authors would say that it is due to
length of day.

Not altogether, however, as maturity of the plant
and temperature undoubtedly play a part in this func-
tion. However, a new line of investigation is now
open ; and this, combined with further researches to
discover an ideal artificial light may bring the time
when a florist can have any kind of flower ou any
day of the year. C. H. Conhob, Floriculturist.

Agricultural Experiment Station, New Brunswick,
N. J.

[The remarks of our correspondent are interesting
and afford food for thought. We would, however,
have been far more impressed by the findings of
Messrs. Garner and Allard had their experiments been
confined to commercial subjects. To us there seems
a tendency among many workers, scientific and oth-
erwise to announce their doings before they ar? con-
clusive, and even to talk of what they expect to do.
Not long since, it was reported with a great flour-
ish of trumpets that a certain scientist was going
to make a journey somewhere to find the missing
link. The story was based on assumption, but it
was made as big as If the link had been found.

Then again we have heard of not a few i>eople
who, after experimenting many years, are about to
launch upon an expectant world methods of culture
and so forth that will double, maybe treble, our crops.
Allowing that such discoveries have just about reached
their climax, why need such people expand their chest
to talk before the culminating point has been reached.
Why not go and produce the goods as it were, and
then convince us one and all. As a matter of fact,
we hear nothing further. It is from others who work
in obscurity that results come. That wonderful woman,
Mme. Curie, did not achieve renown by preliminary
talk about radium and what it would do; she pro-
duced it and showed the world its powers. The ex-
periments at Washington are scientifically interest-
ing, but the commercial florist is not Interested in
Soy Beans. Just why, scientific work is conducted

with Soy Beans and other things of no horticultural
value, we do not know. That light h) a great factor
in the growth of plants Is undeniable; practical men
have known it for ages. Every greenhouse man
knows a heavily shaded house is not good for flower-
ing plants, except perhaps some orchids, although
ferns will thrive. But even these want bright light
sometimes and If we desire light colored Maidenhair
fern or Asparagus plumosus, we must not shade to
any extent.

The fact that late sowings of many kinds of seeds
mature as soon as early sowings is familiar to all
gardeners. They attribute it to the temperature, and
greater light. We have seen Sweet Peas sovm In
May in a shady place which just grew without form-
ing a Uower bud. The deduction was that poor light
rather than late sowing was the cause of non-flower-
ing because late sowing in a sunny position resulted
in precocious flowering and quick maturity. The
Washington experiments prove much the same thing,
the quick maturity is at the expense of cropping ca-
pacity, in other words, you can't get a full crop from
a late variety, if its season of growth is curtailed
through late planting.

Light has nothing to do with the late and early
character of certain varieties. Light is not the in-
fluence that makes Due Von Thol Tulips bloom ahead
of the Darwins when the two are planted together in
the same position. The two types have factors that
are distinct as those that make some hens lay eggs
earlier than others. It is the strain of blood that la
in them. We may hold back Duck Von Thol and
hasten Darwin Tulips by shade and temperature, but
to get Darwin type Tulips as early as the Due Von
Thols we must first get the early blood into them, as
has been done in a new strain reported this season.

We cannot make the late flowering Sweet Peas as
early as the large type either through light or heat.
The early type has factors for earllness. Nature put
them there, and to get the colors of the late sorts,
we merel.v had to cross the two types and carry on
by selection. The late sorts refuse to be hustled by
heat : we may sow in September, but the plants wait
for the longer days of March and April before bloom-
ing under glass; in the open they wait for Jfme and
are but a few days ahead of those sown in the Spring.
The cropping capacity of each is, however, different.
Artificial light may prove of great assistance to the
florist, but we have yet to be convinced that It Is
needless to consider the natural factors of earllnesa
and lateness, first and foremost. The man who
wants Tulips and Sweet Peas at Christmas must se-
lect the varieties that are precociously early.

The man who wants to cut Lettuce from his frames
in May must avoid sorts like New York. If we want
early Peas we must sow quick maturing varieties
and that's all there is to it.]

Euonymus vegeta

A Beautiful Self-clinging Climber

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

I was greatly surprised, in a recent issue of The
Exchange to see that Mr. Farrington Is doubtful
whether Evonymus vegeta wlU cling to a concrete
or stucco wall. 1 can assure him that it does so
in a most beautiful way. We have vines on our
place, one on the rock foundation of our house, and
two on the north wall of our concrete packing shed,
that have been growing vigorously for several years.
They are very handsome and universally admired.

Wn.BUB Dubois.

Arnsby Place, Madisonville, O.

[E. vegeta being a variety of E. radicans, has the
same characteristics, being a dense low growing shrub
when planted in the open, taking on a climbing habit
only when planted against a wall. Like Ivy, E. radi-
cans emits stem roots and in some situations these
roots are able to grip walls. Possibly hot and dry
locations are against its doing so, hence support la
needed.]

Annual Iris Show

The annual Iris show of the American Iris Society,
in conjunction with that of the Columbus Iris So-
ciety, will be held on May 20, 21 and 22, in the Olds-
mobile Sales and Service Room, comer of Cleveland
ave. and East Broad St., Columbus, O. As originally
announced, the exhibition was to have taken place
on May 25, and we trust this late annormcement of
the change of date will meet the eyes of those read-
ers who intended taking In this worthy show and
who have not been made aware of the earlier dates
on which it is to be held. The Columbus Iris Society
has issued a neat circular letter of invitation to the
show — admission free and everybody welcome.

Notes from Abroad

Weather conditions continue to be gen-
erally favorable, the voice of the cuckoo
is heard in the land, and the season is in
most respects well forward. In South
Britain, Lilacs and Laburnums are in full
bloom, the Chestnut and Wistaria not
far behind and the Hawthorns ready to
break out into their various shades of
pink and white. Cool winds tend to
steady the pace of development set by a
liberal allowance of sunshine. Reports
from all parts of the country announce
that Peas, Beans and Onions are coming
on, well, so barring unwelcome late Spring
frosts, good results are looked for in these
articles.

The heavy pu^rchases of the big coopera-
tive concerns for Kussia have gone on
steadily, and several thousand tons of seed
have already been despatched. Peas,
Beans, Mangels and Clovers bulking most
largely in the shipments. Large quanti-
ties have, it is reported, also been sent
from Denmark and Holland. The pro-
fessed intention is to set the Russian
peasants on their legs, and every success
may be wished to the promoters of this
revival, for the sooner the European na-
tions get seriously to work again the bet-
ter it will be for the world at large.

From the Western districts of France
come reports that Carrots are doing bad-
ly, chiefly owing to the prevailing
drought. The earlier sowings have either
failed, or where they have come up, the
plants make no progress. It is not, there-
fore, surprising that prices are on the up
grade and that growers do not care to ac-
cept contracts at fixed rates for 1922.

Offers from the Mediterranean region
of Lisbon Onions at considerably under
what were formerly called bottom prices
still come to hand, and it looks as if con-
siderable stocks would be held over.
Transatlantic Seedsman.

May 2, 1921.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co., o2-5-t
Vesey St., will in a few weeks be entire-
ly moved into its new quarters, lOfi Green-
wich St., a five story building of much
better construction than the one this com-
pany is now occupying. Robert W. Mac-
Niff, president of this company, reports
that counter sales, especially of Rose
bushes, and potted flowering and foliage
plants, on Saturday last were very large.
Proposed Meeting of French Bulb
Importers

It is reported that there will be held
in this city at an early date an important
meeting of importers of French bulbs.
Leading importers from Chicago, Phila-
delphia and New York and, perhaps, from
other cities are expected to be present.
I At this meeting, it is proposed that the
prices of French bulbs be discussed and
that it be determined what prices Ajneri-
can importers are willing to pay. In case
these prices are not accepted by French
growers and shippers, it is expected that
cancellation may follow of all orders for
French bulbs which have been placed.

French Fruit and Rose Stocks

Cables announcing orices for French
fruit stocks have just been received as
we go to press. Prices for stocks of
Apple, Pear, Mazzard Cherry. Myrabolan,
St. Julien Plum, Mahaleb Cherry, Quince,
Paradise and Doucin are lower than in
1920.

JManetti Rose stocks, which sold last
year at $45 a 1000, are quoted at $22.
These prices are for stocks at the nur-
series in France.

New York Seed Trade

Sales of seeds and green plants are now
spasmodic, being governed largely by
weather conditions, and going up and
down with the mercury. The selling sea-
son, however, is by no means over, if we
may base our judgment on the number
of buyers in the several seed stores, es-
pecially on the wa rmer days, morning,
noon and night.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay st.,
reports that the sales of perennial flower-
ing and foliage plants are larger than
those of vegetable plants, but that the
sales of the latter are by no means small.
The warm weather on Saturday of last
week brought in a moderate crowd of buy-
ers of both seeds and plants.

Stumpp & Walter Co., 30-32 Barclay st.,
have been making an attractive display
of named varieties of German Iris. This
firm's daily window displays are, for com-
prehensiveness of everything which a
first class seed store has to offer, unsur-
passed in this city.

Hairy Goldberg, vice-president of the
William M. Hunt Co., Inc.. is on a busi-
ness trip through the Middle West, in the
course of which he will visit Chicago,
Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit and other
cities.

Chicago Seed Trade

The coimter trade for the first half of
May is not up to the expectations for the
month. Unless the latter half will show
considerable improvement, the counter
sales will show a marked falling off in
comparison with May one year ago.

There is a tendency on the part of sev-
eral of the large bulb importing houses
of the city to get together and take some
concerted action in regard to the recent
advance in the price of Paperwhite Nar-
cissus and other French bulbs by the
French syndicate of growers.

R. B. Howe, president of the W. "W,
Barnard Co., estimated that the present
season will equal if not surpass that of
last season in plant and seed selling. This
is mainly due to the good trade the seeds-
men enjoyed during the early part of the
season. Had it not been for the falling
off in the May business, the season would
have been a record breaker. The May
business of 1920 was so remarkably good,
it is possible, after all that the trade is
expecting too much in looking for a repe-
tition this year under prevailing conditions.

I At Henderson's Seed Store, a full line
of vegetable and flowering plants is of-
fered. Perennials are selling well, also
the new Rose, Paul's Scarlet Climber.

I Manager Degnan notes a falling off in

I some lines of garden seed and says it is
a hard season to figure out; you never

I know from day to day if the buying on
some items of stock has closed for the sea-
son, or if it is only temporarily off on ac-
count of unfavorable weather.

Miss Low of Stuart Low & Co., En-

I field, England, has been in the city for
the past week and made several social
calls on the trade. At the American Bulb
Co., she renewed her acquaintance with
Albert Koehler, who had the pleasure of
meeting her at the Chelsea flower show
in England last Spring. This is Miss
Low's second visit to Chicago ; she is
staying at the Blackstone Hotel and is
pleased with Chicago and its surround-
ings.

Onion sets in all districts supplying the
Chicago market are all out of the groimd.
The stand is reported to be 100 per cent
good, and but few maggots.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports a good
inquiry for advance business in bulbs;
travelers for the house are sending in
good business for Summer and Fall de-
livery. In the seed department, there is
good call for biennials and hardy peren-
nials, as these are now as important to
florists as Asters, Sweet Peas and other
annuals. Some can be forced, such as

Dr. Tracy Retires

Dr. William W. Tracy, who since 1903
has been connected with the United States
Department of Agriculture, taking charge
of vegetable variety investigations, has
retired from active service with the De-
partment. Dr. Tracy is well remembered
by readers of The Florists' Exchange,
having furnished numerous instructive ar-
ticles in his line, notably one on "The Ex-
pansion of the Seed Trade," which ap-
peared in our 25th Anniversary Number
in Dec. 1913.

Dr. Tracy, the son of Stephen Tracy and
Alice Dana, was bom on May 2,
1845, in Hudson, 0. His great love for
plants was inherited, his mother having
a great fondness for flowers, and having
brought back with her from a trip to
China many new and interesting plants.
In his youth Dr. Tracy spent much of his
spare time planting trees and perennials
along the roadways and public places. The
thousands of fine American Elms growing
in the center of the city of Detroit are
the direct result of his planting.

I T\Tiile but a small boy Dr. Tracy worked

I in the nurseries of T. C. Maxwell & Sons,

] Geneva, N. Y. During the Civil War he

I served with Co. "D", 45th Mass. Inf. for

) one year, when he was invalided home.

; He had been offered the commission of

first lieutenant after but three months'

service, but refused as he considered he

could give greater service as a private.

After recovering his health he became
a student in the Michigan Agricultural
College and graduated in 1867 with the
degree of Bachelor of Science. Shortly
after entering the college he was made
■ instructor in horticulture, and while hold-
ing this position he was given charge of
I the college grounds. Upon graduating he
I was appointed professor of horticulture,
I but was later compelled to resign from
I this post owing to ill health. He next
went to Old Mission, Grant Traverse Co.,
: Mich., where he established a large Apple
! and Peach orchard, and while here he con-
I tracted with D. M. Ferry & Co. of De-
troit, Mich., to grow seed Peas. In 1879
he connected with D. M. Ferry & Co.,
where he organized a trial grounds and
supervised the greenhouse department. Dr.
Tracy was an indefatigable worker and
in due time became the foremost authority
in America on varieties of vegetables. The
catalog of D. M. Ferry & Co. was for
many years written by Dr. Tracy, and it
was his pride to make it an absolutely re-
liable book. It has been said of him that
he was the pioneer in America, and per-
haps in the world, in the adoption of the
scientfiic inbreeding of plants.

It is a matter of general knowledge
how well Dr. Tracy succeeded after being

appointed by the Department of Agricul-
ture in 1903. He has been consulted all
these years in all matters pertaining to
vegetables, whether the question involved
culture, nomenclature or relative merits.
He has been the author of numerous
books and department bulletins on the
subject. His career has been a long and
most useful one.

Seed 5000 Years Old Produces
Flowers

A Morning Glory seed, said to be 5000
years old and to have been taken from an
Eg>-ptian mummy's hand, was brought
to Baltimore, Md., last week and planted
in the garden of Mrs. W. C. Robinson,
the seed having been presented to Mrs.
Robinson at a meeting ot ttie Garden Clubs
of America. The seed is one of twelve
found preserved in the hand of the
mummy in question which was recently
excavated in 'Egypt. When the mummy
was brought to this country ten of the
seeds were planted and all of them ger-
minated and flourished, the plants bring-
ing forth flowers.

The Potato Magazine

The importance of the Potato is evi-
denced by the fact that it has a magazine
entirely devoted to it. Now in its third
year, and published monthly at Mount
Morris, 111., the magazine contains not
a little of interest to the Potato grower.
It would truly seem that the hiunble
"spud" is at last being treated rationally
so that as a yielder it will average some-
thing better than it has in the past. With
the average per acre of the Potato grow-
ing countries in Europe ranging about 100
per cent better than the United States
and Canada, one might well assume the
fault lies not with the Potato itself, but
rather with the cultivators.

three supply houses in Pennsylvania this Spring and a total
of nearly one million WIRE TIES sold for the Easter trade.

If this business can be done in Pennsylvania, Maryland
and New York with an article still in its infancy, you are losing
a source of income on an article which when demonstrated
to the grower is eagerly purchased.

WIRE TIE is a labor-saving device for the grower, and
every supply house in the near future will handle it.

Why not write us now and be ready for the grower
when he ties up those Chrysanthemums ?

Handling Cold Storage Giganteums

I don't care -n-hen a batch of Lilies
comes into bloom, if it consists of not
too many plants the retail grower will
always find good use for the flowers. In
a cool cellar or a cooler, you can, without
much trouble, keep them in a cut state in
perfect condition for several weeks.

Wbether it is a wedding or a funeral,
Lilies are appropriate flowers to use and,
if instead of so many small growers with
poor facilities, insisting on trying, year
after year, to force their own require-
ments for Easter and failing they would
try cold storage bulbs, plant their first lot
about February 1 to flower during May
and keep planting a few each month after
that up to June, they would make far
■more money out of them.

Let the specialist grow your Easter re-
-quirements, but plant now for September
■flowering, pot up the bulbs into 5s and
Iveep below the bench until growth starts
and the plants are well rooted. After that
. a sunny bench and plenty of ventilation,
good drainage and plenty of water. That
is all.

Cold Storage Rubrums

The large retailer of the big city may
■ object using a rubrum Lily flower in a
■corsage or in a floral design; he wants
the whole stem full of flowers and buds.
The out of town retailer, however, and
there are quite a few thousand of such,
iSnds good use for the single flowers; and
what makes these Lilies of still greater im-
portance, is the fact that often from
three to four weeks pass from the time
the first bud opens on a plant and the
last flower is cut.

You can pot up now, cold storage bulbs
of Lilium speciosum rubrum and when
through with the Spring rush, plant the
started plants on a bench or place the
pots on a solid bench, plunged half way
and have them start coming into flower

by the end of September, maybe a little
later. You may not be able to grow
good E-oses, but you can grow these Lilies,
and they will often take the place of
Roses, especially in design work. Plant
a few now, you will appreciate them next
Fall.

Snapdragons and Crop Rotation

You might consider Snapdragons as a
Summer crop under glass. While most
of the desirable sorts are fine for out-
door flowering, if you have a house well
ventilated, with solid beds, you can grow
them to greater perfection indoors and
will experience no trouble in disposing
of them at a fair price. If you plant
semi-tall sorts, 1ft. apart is sufficient; pinch
them back several times so that by the
end of June you have seven to ten
branches or shoots. They will be at their
best from the end of July on and if kept
tied up and properly cared for, will keep
on flowering until October.

If you have a lot of early Pompon
Chrysanthemums outdoors and lift them
about the middle of September it will pay
you to replace the Snapdragons at that
time and you will have the space again by
the flrst week in November and might
consider Calendulas out of 2%s to take
their place. Nothing will pay the man
with limited space better than to keep
on figuring out ways and means to make
the best use of it. It isn't said that you
have to follow out the above, you may
think of a better way to suit your own
requirements. Anyway, to keep on getting
returns from every available foot under
glass is good policy.

Gladioli Under Glass for Summer
Flowering

You know there are some wonderful
varieties of Gladiolij and to buy the

bulbs of such costs money, frequently
more than the smaller retail grower
cares to pay and that is one of the rea-
sons he doesn't pay more attention to
them. To him, it is a matter of dollars
and cents and, in order to make money
out of what he plants, he has to get a
good price for the flower spike or else
he is the loser. If you want to see almost
any of the newer sorts at their best and
grow them to perfection, and thereby be
enabled to display in your cooler, spikes
superior to the average, grow them on a
solid bed under glass.

You are crowded now, but you can pur-
chase the bulbs and put them singly into
4s and place below a bench; they will
make about 6in. of growth by the time the
Geraniums are out, the middle of June.
Plant them out in rows in good soil and,
with just a little care, you are going to
get some grand spikes of flowers. Be-
cause the plants haven't been subjected to
wind and weather they will be out of the
way by the middle or end of September
and you have the bed for another crop,
maybe 'Hums, Sweet Peas or bulb stock,
to follow.

Mother's Day, 1922

With each year Mother's Day means
more to the florist as a flower day, nor
is the demand confined to Carnations and
Roses; anything sells, and flowering pot
plants are coming right to the front. It
will pay every retail grower to pay special
attention in preparing more and more
for that day.

You may not be able to force your own
Lilies for Easter or get the Roses .or
Hydrangeas in on time, but any of these
can be managed much better for the first
week in May and with the high price of
Carnations and Roses, pot plants in bloom
are bound to sell. Begonias of the bed-
ding variety are at their best during
early May and with a few small Asparagus

or table ferns, are excellent for made-up
dishes. The same holds good with Pan-
sies, English Daisies, small Marguerites,
dwarf Ageratums, double Sweet Alyssum
and Polyanthus, Primulas, Fuchsias, Pelar-
goniums, Bedding Geraniums and even
double Petunias all make attractive stock
and the best of it, almost every retail
grower has such plants in hand at this
time of the year.

Right now is the time to make a few
notes about what sold this year and what
stock could have been sold. I predict that
Mother's Day will become fully as impor-
tant, if not more so, than any of the other
great holidays of the year.

Darwin Tulips

You can't blame a man for kicking just
a little bit having to pay $30 and over for
Darwin Tulip bulbs when for many years
back he used to pay about one-half of that
amount for them. On the other hand,
those who had Darwins for Mother's Day
this year had no trouble in realizing 10c.
or over for each flower, wholesale, and a
corresponding price, retail. That means
more than a fair margin of profit, and it
would seem as if the average retail grower
would become more interested in Darwins.
He can force them under glass and have
them in flower from the end of March on,
without much trouble, and he should
make it a. point to hav£ them come .along
from that time up to the middle or end of
May. You can, with the help of sashes
and shade frames, pretty well time an
outdoor batch of plants, so they come in
for Mother's Day and there is no trouble
in disposing of a good number of some of
the beautiful light and dark pink shades
that do well on them; besides giving your
customers flowers which last for a week.
Can anything be simpler than to plant out
a few thousand Darwin Tulips in 5ft.
wide beds? There are some who do it,
but by far more who don't.

Peter D. Barnhart, Newsgatherer

Once again located at his own home in
Los Angeles, Calif., our old friend's pen
has another spasm of news recording.
Judging by his plans for the near future,
we may expect more.

Tlie ATOcado Industry

It may be of interest to you, and to
your readers to learn something about
the activities of florists and fruit growers
in this part of the Golden State of the
Golden West. Now that phrase is not a
new one, neither is it an exaggeration, for
be assured that this part of the United
States of America is only now on the
threshold of development.

The sixth annual convention of Avocado
Growers Association of this State was
held in Pasadena, May 6 and 7. This
organi2ation has 440 members and every
one a booster of the most pronounced
type, for the production of the most nu-
tritious of all known fruits. I have be-
longed to many organizations in my time,
but never to one whose memliers were all
enthusiasts, as is the case with these
people. Then, too, they are the brainiest
men and women of this Coast. Alert to
every feature of production which may be
thought out by all the experts of the
nation, they readily try out every method
suggested, and the experiments during the
last decade have cost its members large
sums of money. Be it said to their credit
they are yerj- generous with the knowl-
edge acquired in the expensive school of
experience, and because of that fact, the
production of the fruit is growing rapidly.

A study of the exhibits is a liberal
education: a revelation to everyone who
has not studied the development of this
fruit industry. We now have a salaried
secretary to look after the varied inter-
ests of the association. Miss Agnes Mc-
Nally, of Altadena.

Nurseries Bnsy

Since the war closed, ornamental horti-
culture has grown by leajjs and bounds.

All the nurserymen are working overtime
getting up stock to supply the demand.
D. W. Coolidge of Pasadena planted out
50,000 Eugenia Hookeriana (I do not find
this species mentioned in any work at
my command). As soon as large enough,
they will be potted and boxed for the
trade. This species and E. Myrtifolia
are greatly superior to Boxwood or Bay
trees for decorative purposes on this
Coast.

The Armstrong Nurseries at Ontario
are growing Avocados and St. John's
Bread, Ceratonia siliquaj by the thousand
to meet the demand for these two species
of trees. Right now there are promoters
of orchards of the St. John's Bread with
the most alluring statements of fabulous
profits for "sucker bait," and there are
"suckers" who will bite as they did a
number of years ago when the Eucalyptus
boom was on, which promised enormous
profits to planters. The financial trage-
dies of this State brought about by con-
scienceless men and women would make a
good story were it put in book form and
illustrated, a work I may do some day.

Walter Armacost, at Sawtelle, is doub-
ling his greenhouse area for the produc-
tion of cut Roses, Cyclamen and other
stock for florists' use.

Not Strictly Horticnltnral

Charles F. Saunders, a botanist of abil-
ity and a writer of the most delightful
books about California, and Miss Mira
Culin, also a botanist and a writer of in-
teresting verse, are to be married May
11, and continue to be one of our number,
residing in Pasadena. His latest work,
"Useful Plants of the United States and
Canada," while technical, is written in such
fashion that technicalities are robbed of
their terrors to the layman, even the most
illiterate in plant lore will understand
what the author has to say about the eco-
nomic plants of the whole country.

Frnit Prospects

Frost played havoc with the fruit crop
of this State the first and the second

week of April. In some localities it was
all destroyed, in others partially so. We
shall have enough to go around and some
to send to you folks on the Atlantic Coast,
provided the freight rates will permit it.
October next, there is to be a big exhi-
bition of fruits and of flowers of this
State in this town. Fred Howard, of
Howard & Smith, is the director. He
goes after big game and gets it every time,
therefore any nurseryman, seedsman or
florist of the East who plans a trip to this
Coast this season, will be wise if he makes
his arrangements to be with us at that
time.

Taking a Ramble

The last day of this month I plan to
leave for Portland, Seattle and various
parts of this State. I shall go by auto-
mobile and in leisurely fashion up through
the interior of the State and down the
Coast. Eureka will one of my stopping
places. I am interested in the work be-
gim by the late Mr. Ward at that place.
There are several plant breeders up
North who have become famous for what
they have done in giving us new fruits of
merit, also some flowers which are de-
cided improvements over those we now
grow.

The seed growing business will also re-
ceive attention.

Planning for 1922

If, in the Providence of God, I am in
good health, X shall spend at least two
months next year looking over the activi-
ties of Atlantic Coast horticulturists.

Fall and continue blooming till following
Spring.

"Thirdly, should Cyclamen, prior to
plunging in frames, be damped two or
three times during hot days?"

[Pride of Castle Grould is merely a
special strain of Celosia. It wiU bloom
like ordinary kinds if sown early enough.
We doubt whether Buddleia asiatiea will
yield a crop over so long a period as
asked. What do readers say?

Cyclamen appreciate light spraying; if
they don't get it, there may be trouble
with thrips, etc.T

Wants Information as to Celosia
and Buddleia

H. F. K., N. Y., writes: "Has any
reader grown Celosia Pride of Castle
Gould outdoors and hai-vested the flowers
for sale before frost. Also can Buddleia
asiatiea be induced to flower early in the

Nassau Co. (N. Y.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of the
above society was held in Pembroke Hall,
Glen Cove, L. I., on Wednesday, May 11.
President William Noonan occupied the
chair and C. Zandbergen were elected to
active membership.

James HoUoway, John Everett and
Samuel Trepars were appointed by Presi-
dent Noonan to judge the monthly ex-
hibits and for twelve pink Darwin Tu-
lips they awarded first to Frank 0. John-
son, William Allen and Frank 0. John-
son received thanks of the society for
their beautiful exhibits of Lilacs, orchids,
etc.

One petition for active membership was
received at this meeting.

The chairman of the executive commit-
tee read the schedule of the Rose Show
to be held early in June.

Mr. Wallace of Carters was present and
spoke on the La^vn and Garden Contest
being conducted in this city. Mr. Popp
of Scheepers, Inc., was present and gave
us a very interesting talk on Gladiolus
and the different methods of their culture.

(Extract from the "Florist's Review," September 28, 1919).

"I have been much impressed with some of the new Cannaa that I have tried this Sum-
mer, and cannot refrain from mentioning two. These are The President and Snow Queen.
President is by all odds the best red Canna today, larger and better than Firebird and a free
bloomer; the foliage is strong and does not burn, as does that of Firebird. Those who have
tried Firebird and lamented that it would not do on account of diseased foliage will rejoice to
know that at last we have a Canna that is 'right.' " — Floyd BraUiar. "The most sensational
introduction of recent years." — From another firm'^ catalog.

Following Mother's Day rush came a
general slump in business for the first two
or three days of last week. This lull was
! due partly to rains, which held back the
I planting of outside stock. Monday and
Tuesday were exceedingly dull, but Wed-
nesday brought a pickup in trade, and
things have been steadily booming since
I that time. Owing to this week being com-
I mencement week and the £nd of the school
I terms throughout the smaller towns in
[ Kentucky, a great deal of out-of-toi^Ti
: business in cut flowers has been coming in.
In the cut flower line. Carnations are
I just about dead now. While there still
! seems to be a fair demand for them, the
size of the flowers is decreasing, and peo-
ple will not pay the price, but fall back on
I other flowers. The greenhouses through-
' out this part of the State are already
; starting to pull out their Carnation plants
and are replacing them with stock that
I will bloom in the Fall.

The bedding stock business has been es-

, ceedingly good for several days, and the

I florists have been busy with planting. The

hold up due to the rain caused all the

I business to come at once, arid there is a

I rush on in the trade right at present.

Cannas are going big and Geraniums are

following as a close second. Scarlet

popularity as a bed flower is increasing.
The planting season is about over, how-
ever, and another two weeks will .prob-
ably see a big decrease in that line.

Window boses have been doing very
well and local dealers tell of a big busi-
ness done in all kinds of window and
porch boxes. Ferns are a big number in
the box and pot flower line and their
popularity seems never to wane.

Sweet Peas are going to be popular this
year and the growers are showing the best
quality seen for some years. The plants
are being planted just a little farther
apart and are thriving on the attention
given them. They have been showing good
blooms for the last few days and the
plants, as a rule, are just a mass of blos-
soms.

Outdoor Roses are showing a big turn
for the better, owing to the warm weather
that has been prevalent recently, and a
good many of the plants are showing buds.
A few of the bushes that showed signs
of budding earlier in the season were
frost bitten during the cold spell a couple
of weeks ago, but are coming out with
about as many buds as there were before.

Fred L. Haupt, local florist, has just
bought a piece of real estate that numbers
among the best of its kind in the city.
It is situated on the corner of Baxter
and Highland aves. and is occupied on
the first floor by one of a chain of retail
groceries and on the second and third
floors by apartments. The consideration
was approximately $20,000. The property
measures 35ft.xl74ft.

August Baumer had an exceedinly good
business in the entertainment line dur-
ing the last week. There have been sev-
eral good sized pageants and plays offered
by local schools that have called for nu-
merous decorations, among which flowers
have been a big number.

Dave Walker of Edith V. Walker & Bros,
said that the cut flower trade had been
excellent with him all during the latter
part of this week, remai'king ''There have
been a great many teas and socials, given
by tlie girls who are graduating from
school this year, and we have had our
share of good cut flower business for these
entertainments.

The F. Walker Co. reports a big busi-
ness in floral pieces during the past week,
also a good funeral trade. Most of the
funerals, it seems, have called for exceed-
ingly large orders.

Another big business in floral pieces
this week was brought about by the
opening of the new Eialto Theatre on
Fourth St. Floral pieces were presented
to the management by the majority of the
local theatres, and every florist seems to
have gotten his share of the orders.

Thieves using an electric drill opened
the safe at the establishment of C. B.
Thompson & Co., florists, taking $50 from
the safe, and some jewelry, on the night
of l\Iay 7.

Mayfield, Ky., on May 9, reported that
Carnations were so scarce and high that
they were selling at 20c. to 25c. each on
Mother's Day, and could not be purchased
freely. One of the Mayfield papers j
asked point blank whether or not the flo- I
ri.sts were not trying to profiteer on tlie i
sweet sentiment of Mother's Day, stating
that the public generally felt that way
about it, as Carnations had been selling
for much Jess.

Root Maggot Remedy

Insures a good crop of

Radishes, Kale^ Cabbage, Onions
Turnips, Cauliflower Etc.

Magotite acts as a preventive
by repelling the Fly, which lays the
eggs from which the maggots are
hatched. It also destroys maggots
which are already in the soil. It
has proved veiy effective in com-
bating Earth W'orms of all kinds,
the Strawberry Crown Borer, Cab-
bage Worms, Asparagus Miner,
Flea Beetles, Cut Worms and all
kinds of Slugs.

Simply sprinkle in and over the
drills when seeding, and around the
roots when planting, and after the
plants are through it is sprinkled
around and alongside of them.

It is not injurious to plant life in
any way, but on the contrary is a
valuable stimulant and fertilizer.
■ A 4-lb. package will cover about
300 feet of drill, mixed with soil
at planting time, with an occasional
top dusting as a preventive during
the growing period. For Field
Culture the approximate quantity
required is from 300 to 500 lbs.
per acre.

in realty. Interest in the firm is divided
between a brother, Louis R. Rammers; a
nephew, Joseph Able; a niece, Nellie Able,
and a son, Ed. Thompson. The residue
of the estate goes to the son and two
children of a deceased sister, Ella Lee
Able. Joe Able and his sister, ISTeUie
Able, have been very active in the man-

Evansville, Ind., recently reported that
the Peony crop of that section had been
badly damaged by frost, several of the big
farms of Vandenburg and Spencer Coun-
ties being lucky if they produce one-third
of the normal crop. 0. V. N. S.

i Mrs. Cora Belle Thompson, who passed
I away on Friday, May 6, and whose obit-
' uary appeared in the columns of The Ex-
change last week, was a worthy example
of the business woman, being one of the
best known of the local florists and well
Tinown to the trade all over the country.
: Mrs. Thompson was president of C. B.
Thompson & Co., Inc., since its incor-
poration. She was connected with the
local florists' industry for nearly 40 years,
having started her experience in the busi-
ness with the firm of George Thompson
& Sons, one of the pioneer firms of Louis-
Tille.

She married Sam J. Thomoson, a mem-
Iber of the latter firm, and for a number

of years assisted him in the management
of the retail store of the firm. After a
time the firm of George Thompson &
Sons dissolved, Sam J. Thompson taking
over the retail end of the business, and
with Mrs. Thompson running the business
imder the firm name of S. J. Thompson,
until the death of Mr. Thompson in 1909.
The business was then incorporated un-
der the name of C. B. Thompson Co.,
with Mrs. Thompson as president of the
concern.

Mrs. Thompson was one of the best
known business women of Louisville, pro-
gressive in her views and a great believer
in cooperation. She was a member of the
Society of American Fiorists, The Florists
Telegraph Delivery A^ssociation and the
Kentucky Society of Florists. She was
not a memb.er in name only, but took a
deep interest in the affairs of these or-
ganizations, attending many of their con-
ventions and meetings and taking part in
their deliberations. She was also a mem-
ber of a nimiber of the local civic and
fraternal organizations of this city, always
taking an active part in their affairs.

Mrs. Thompson was buried in our beau-
tiful Cave Hill Cemetery on Sunday after-
t noon. May 8. The church services were
j held at the Church of the Advent, where
' the Episcopal funeral service was said.

The popularity of Mrs. Thompson was
shown at the cemetery, where the gather-
ing of relatives, friends and acquaintances
around the grave was the largest number
that had attended a funeral in this ceme-
tery for several years. At the grave the
commitment service of the Episcopal
Church was said, after which the beauti-
ful and impressive burial service of the
Order of Eastern Star was said.

Louis Kirch represented the profession-
al florists and George W. Plinke the
amateur florists among the pallbearers,
while the following members of the trade
were the honorary pallbearers: William
Walker, William Mann, Anders Rasmus-
sen, Henry Fuchs, Emil Walther and
August R. Baumer. A. R. B.

May 16. — Weather changing every few-

I sold out. Now, taking into consideration

I the fact that there were thousands of

I sprays of Dorothy Perkins and many va-

I rieties of hardy tlowera in bloom, makes

I the situation more remarkable,

I Enclosed letter to The Advertiser will

give a good idea of the way Mothers Day

was celebrated in the Middle South.

Reports from Atlanta, Opelika, Colum-
bus and adjacent territory are tne same.
This is the last run here, as Memorial
Day, May 30, is not generally observed
here, so florists can get down to work
when the rain allows them. W. C. Cook.

[The letter referred to was by a visitor
in Montgomery and makes it evident that
flowers on Mother's Day were decidedly
scarce.

It would appear that the public of
Montgomery celebrate Mother's Day by
special exercises in the Capitol grounds,
excellent appropriate music being ren-
dered.

The visitor was so impressed that he
was prompted to publicly congratulate the
people of Montgomery in having a perfect
Mother's Day.l

Musings and Moralizings

By WOOLGATHERER

A "Wee Plant

We not infrequently read of giant
plants, indeed, not a few of us are alw'ays
eager to talk about big things, including
giant California trees, giant Dahlias, Cab-
bages, Potatoes and fruit, but few con-
cern themselves much about the tiny forms
of plant life, least of all cultivate them.
I was therefore interested to read recently
that one of the English Alpine plant
specialists showed an albino form of Prim-
ula scotica which including the pot it
, grew in, scarcely exceeded an inch in
height. A child's thimble would have
covered the entire flower truss without in-
juring the minute blooms. Primula scotica
is naturally red flowered, the white form
exhibited being raised from seed collected
in Scotland where it is a native.

A Great DaUia Xover

To Dahlia enthusiasts, the portrait and
brief biography of Joseph Cheal, V. M. _H.,
appearing in The Gardeners Chi-onicle
(British) is of interest. Apart from
Dahlias, Mr. Cheal is greatly interested in
general nursery and hardy plant stock, and
is a recognized authoritj' on fruit. He
and his brother established the famous
Cheal's Nurseries at Crawley, Susses, in
1871. As a landscape man, Joseph Cheal
has a great renown, this work being a
special hobby. As a traveler, few com-
mercial plantsmen can equal him, for not
only has he visited most of the countries
in Europe, but Gibraltar, Morocco, Ca-
nary Islands, Tenneriffe, Madeira, Egypt,
Syria, Palestine, Canada and United
States have all come under his survey.

Sugar Beet Resistant to Iieaf-
hopper

There is hope for us yet. It is re-
ported that the U. S. Dept. of Agricul-
ture entomologists have by selection made
material progress toward obtaining Sugar
Beets resistant to the leafhopper. If one
plant can be resistant to a certain insect
why not another? The only flaw in plants
resistant "fo^ome" insect or disease is that
they invariably prove badly susceptible
to some other pest or disease. However,
there is hope that within a few more
decades we shall have insect proof and
blight proof Beets, by which time, no
doubt, we shall not require Beets for
sugar purposes.

\7hat is a Xandscape Gardener?

A few days since, a semi-wild family
was discovered near Pearl Kiver, N. J.
Neither of the parents, nor the five chil-
dren, could read nor write, but we are
told the father is an excellent landscape
gardener with a skilled knowledge of
trees.

Judging by the amount of publicity
given to, and the interest displayed
toward this family, one imagines that
landscape gardener Thompson will leave
others of the fraternity standing still.

As soon as the warm weather comes, I
propose to feed in the chicken coop and
lodge on the trees. A fellow named Tar-
zan did pretty well at this game; now it's
Thompson and, as I have always under-
stood that three is the lucky number, I
guess my chances as a wild man are a
sight better than either of them.

"Why Not Violas?

Glancing through the classified and gen-
eral advertisements of a British trade
paper, I am impressed by the vast number
of Violas offered for sale.

Ask the average grower or amateur
whether he grows Violas, and he is at a
loss, unless he chances to have formerly
resided on the other side. Everyone
knows Pansies and Violets, and although
not everyone grows the latter, few fail to
make room for the former.

Why is it? Does it mean that the flo-
rists here have deliberately ignored the
Viola or is it another instance of *'we
can't grow it?"

While millions of Pansies are raised
for the British markets, still more mil-
lions of Violas are grown. For beds or
for edging, one may see the Viola where
the Pansy, owing to its more straggly
growth and lesser freedom of bloom, is
more or less unsuitable.

To some, the Viola may appear a

Pansj'-, but the former, owing to its more
intimate connection with V. cornuta, has,
in the main, a more bushy habit, greater
freedom of bloom and lacks the blotches
of the Pansy.

The majority of Violas are self colored
and have an attractiveness that the Pansy
does not possess, but they are all raised
from cuttings.

It is probably due to the fact that the
Viola is vigorous, free and can be had by
the thousand in any one particular color
that it is, and has for many years, been
preeminent as a dwarf bedding and edg-
ing plant.

Violas may be raised from seed readily,
and one can propagate the best, but one
is fain to admit that it would not put us
on a level with the wonderful blues, pur-
ples, yellows, pure whites, pink tinted,
striped and picotee varieties fostered and
developed by the British and Scotch flo-
rists during the past 30 years or so.

However, as Q. 37 makes it difficult to
obtain anything better, this writer is just
trying to make the most of seedlings.
That Fink Baffodil

Granted that the writer of the editorial
in the Macon (Ala.) News, as referred to
on page 1095, shows some familiarity with
his subject, his familiarity after all only
serves to demonstrate the truth of the old
adage, "A little knowledge is dangerous."
The mere fact that he accepted the de-
tails regarding the pink Daffodil as cabled
by a newspaper agency and elaborates his
story thereon, suggests he is still in the
class of novices; easily influenced by what
he sees in the lay press. The original
story regarding this wondrous Daffodil
appeared in the London Daily Express
which, like all uptodate newspapers,
adopts the custom of making much out of
little, although one may safely assume
that had a New York reporter had the
pleasure of seeing that Daffodil, he
would have made an inflnitely greater
show. The Daffodil was shown by Barr
& Sons, but we may reasonably doubt that
the firm sold six bulbs at $200 apiece, al-
though that would by no means be a
record for Daffodil bulbs, especially un-
named seedlings of exceeding scarcity. For
several years the white trumpet Daffodil,
Mrs. Krelage, was listed at £50 ($250) a
bulb. The sale of an entire stock of a
Daffodil of special merit by a firm like
Barr is extremely doubtful and one may
assume that the tentative value of £40 a
bulb was a mere guess on the part of the
reporter or the party whom the reporter
seized upon for his "dope." It may be
said that the pink tinted Daffodil is by no
means new. There are several Leedsii
forms, (the Barr novelty is a Leedsii)
with pinkish crowns or trumpets.

Judging by reports, I am not so sure
but what I saw a single flower of this
novelty exhibited some few years ago.
Quite an old and cheap little trumpet Daff
with a pinkish tint and sweet scent is
Apricot, and there is record of Pink Lady,
another trumpet variety. A frequent
failing with these pink tinted trumpets
is their poor constitution. I have been
far more impressed by the crimson and
green centered Barris and Incomps, to say
nothing of those with a blush pink peri-
anth. Ked and pink Daffodils are as-
suredly on the way, but the advance in
this direction is more evident in the
smaller capped sections than in the trum-
pet forms. What is termed pink is buff
yellow overlaid with pink, and as Barr
& Sons have admitted the color of their
seedling is not new, those who have seen
the older forms can gain a mental picture
of the novelty.

The would be humorist of the Macon
News merely exposes his lack of knowledge
on other points. A Daffodil never reverts
or 'Tareaks" as does a seedling Tulip. The
reference to the difficulty in finding a
name is of course pure press "clap trap,"
especially the suggested names. Daffodil
raisers invariably wait until they have
tried out a seedling five or six years be-
fore naming; certainly the Narcissus Com-
mittee of the K. H. S. has no influence in
this work save to prevent the use of names
already registered.

On Naming

The Macon News writer scarcely argues
wisely. The mere fact that he prefers to
call the Helianthemum the Sun Rose does
not preclude the plant from having a
recognized Latin name which is univer-
sally recognized. And, after all, the Latin
name is, more or less descriptive. The

botanist merely makes Helianthemum from
Helios, sun, and an tli em oil, a flower, to
get Helianthemum. Common or popular
names may suit the average individual,
but those with an interest in plants soon
realize how helpless they are if people
tell them of plants by the popular names
alone; often these names are only local.
With an ordinary horticultural diction-
ary, one can, if they hear or read of a
plant, the botanical name of which is
given, glean some idea as to its character.
Given only the popular name one is often-
times beaten. The use of foreign names
as given to Roses, etc., is a matter of taste.
They can be translated into English read-
ily enough, but to deliberately re-tag them
with new names is simply fraud. In
actual practice, however, the use of these
foreign names is not difficult, they look
worse written, than spoken.

Art of Floral Arrangement

To those who believe in natural ar-
rangements, the remarks by B. J. Letson
as made at the Boston club meeting, see
page 1097, are good reading. He is abso-
lutely against the indiscriminate use of
all ribbons, etc., either for baskets or pot
plants. Whence arose the custom of
''tidyvating" a basket of flowers or a plant
with colored ribbon or chiffon? I can
understand ornamenting the pot or hiding
the exterior of a rough vase or basket,
but when ribbons are woven among the
branches of a plant or a monster bow is
poked among the flowers or attached to
the basket handle so that it dominates the
outlook, it seems to me that the designer
ought to have been a dry goods merchant.

Fi7eakisli Iris

The Nashville, Tenn., correspondent re-
fers to the work among Iris by Prof.
Bralliar, who has shown some interesting
seedlings, but when reference is made to
the effect that giant and miniatures among
Iris are the freakish results of breeding,
the statement should be qualifled some-
what. The Iris is naturally a remarkably
varied family; it is like the dog among
animals in this respect.

Variation in height among Iris seedlings,
to the extent of 58in. to lin. would indeed
be freakish if two 4ft. parents were used,
but the probability is that the worthy
professor working among the miniature
Iris as well as among the giants. A hy-
brid between Pallida Dahnatica and si-
birica is interesting; it suggests a giant
flowered Siberian Iris and, if the flower
stems are of the same wiry nature, it
should be a good thing for cutting.

Influence of Climate

It is interesting to learn through "Notes
from Abroad," page 1079, that Carrot seed
produced in California fails to give roots
of deep color unless European stock seed
is planted year after year, the same also
applying to Radish. The reason for it is
something for the scientific people to figure ■
out. A question of climate, it undoubted-
ly is, and as both the Radish and Carrot
are natives of cooler and moister cli-
mates, one may assxune that California,
lacking these essentials, will never rival
Europe in the production of this seed un-
less special stocks are developed by some
means. But, in the meantime, what ef-
fect has climate on the seed that such
seed refuses to yield good colored roots
even when planted in Europe? Something
of the same kind occurs with Pea and
Onion seed produced in California. The
European grown Peas are preferred by
all planters of experience, and in Europe
California Onion seed fails to yield the
same weight as the domestic seed, due to
the tendency for earlier ripening. Must
we assume that the brighter, but shorter
days of California influence seed pro-
duced there?

Garden Bobbers

The fact that the New York authorities
are exercised about the vandalism of
park visitors is proof sufficient that the
public as a whole, is badly in need of tui-
tion. It is a peculiar failing of human
nature to assume that anything that
grows, be it on public or private property,
is anybody's for the taking. In Europe
the same failing is to some extent observ-
able, but, on the whole, a respect of the
law keeps people in bounds, even the
children having a realization to the pains
and penalties that may visit them. Van-
dalism in European public parks is a
rarity, and the ravaging of private gar-
dens "is practically held in check through

the almost imiversal custom of shutting
off the gardens from the roadways by
fences, walls or hedges. To this writer,
the general custom of having no tangible
line of demarcation between the footwalks
and gardens in the suburban districts, is
a deliberate invitation to prowling autoists
to help themselves. The idea may be good,
but we have not yet reached the mil-
lenium.

Anotber of Tbem

Under the caption "Real Spud Grafter
Found," The Potato Magazine publishes a
note to the effect that Wladislaw Dorocho-
wicz, who has a farm in Lake County,
has discovered a secret that will entirely :
revolutionize the growing of vegetables,
and that if experiments he is now mak- ■
ing prove successful, he will have a num- '
ber of startling revelations to make soon.
This wizard came from Poland some 23 '
years ago, and his early experiments were
made with Potatoes which, he asserts, he
crossed with Ruta-bagas, Beets, grain of
sorts. Carrots, Gooseberry, Raspberry, and
other plants. The results have been a
product that vrill produce at the rate of
700 bushels an acre and finer food. There
is only one comment we need make here:
It is about time Dorochowicz got back
to Poland. He is either "up the pole," or
has long since ceased to have any con-
nection with the truth. In either case, it
is to be hoped that the police in his dis-
trict will keep an eye on him. Such a
man running loose is a danger to the
community.

From "Pnnch"

Mrs. McNicol ''Found a poun' note in
the street Donal? That's euid!"

Mr. Xieol (sadly). "Ay, but McTavish
saw me pick it up, an' I owe him twenty-
two and sixpence."

"Why is it that nine-tenths of the coon
singers on the halls are always wanting
to get back to their deal old homes? And
who is stopping them in their noble de-
sire? And is there any explanation why
all these singers seem to have their homes 1 1
in Alabama, where the Roses keep on '
climbing round the door, just close to
where the Cotton and the Corn are grow-
ing all the year round. Why did they
leave it and spend the rest of their lives
on the music hall stage telling of their
passionate determination to get away
back to the old folks?

Why is it when you tell a man there's
so many million stars in the skies, he be-
lieves you, but the moment he sees a no-
tice on a gate bearing the words, "wet
paint," he puts his finger on it to prove or
disprove the statement.

To these why's I add: And why is it
when you've laboriously dug and raked
your ground and have the seeds in your
hand for sowing the neighbor butts itt
with "Going to sow seeds?"

Cromwell, Conn.

On Saturday afternoon. May 7, the paint
shop, a small wooden building used for
the storage of paint, of A. N. Pierson,
Inc., Cromwell, Conn-, was totally des-
troyed by fire. A pile of valuable lum-
ber stored close to the paint shop, and a
garage containing about twenty cars, lo-
cated not far away, were endangered.
Fortunately, there was no wind and the
fire department on the place, assisted by
the Middleto-(\Ti Fire Department from
across the Connecticut River, was able to
confine the fire to the paint shop.

We have not been able to learn what
the loss was or whether the building was
insured.

Gordonia pubescens

The Rare Franklin Tree

AI.KL'Tl'KEK reeeutly referred to
Gordonia yubeseeus or Franklin
Tree as one of tbe plants destined
to become extinct. In this statement he
was (|uite right, for we are told that it
can no longer be found in its native habi-
tat in Georgia where John Bartram dis-
covered it about 1765 and introduced it
into his garden in Philadelphia. Further-
more, its propagation is slow compared to
the ease with which a host of more popu-
lar plants may be increased, and so nur-
serymen ignore it as being unprofitable.
And yet, if it were better known, it might
well take a place with the choicest plants
of our gardens and as such command a
price sufficiently high to justify the slow
and tedious methods required to grow a
stock of it.

Readers of The Exchange may recall
seeing a photograph of the splendid speci-
men of this tree in Joseph Meehan's gar-
den (it is now about 25 years old and has
grown to a high spreading bush about
20ft. high), but the photo did not do jus-
tice to the individual flower, so the writer
had a "close up" photograph taken to ac-
company these notes. Even this fails to
convey the richness of the bright golden
cluster of dense stamens, surmounting the
pure ivory white petals, a rich combina-
tion which never fails to impress the plant
lover. One might liken the flower to the
Camellia, a botanical relative, though the
Gordonia is even more beautiful, for it
lacks the artificial, waxy appearance of
the Camellia. Add to this beauty an ex-
quisite fragrance, and the fact that it
flowers from early August until the middle
of October, and you have three merits
hard to excel.

Although the original introduction, both
in this country and Europe, is said to
have been by seed from the Georgia trees,
Joseph Meehan never found seed in the
capsules borne by trees in this vicinity,
and propagation was by layers and cut-
tings in Summer under glass. Nursery-
men need not seek an exotic to grow a
stock of a rare plant. They will find it

.\side from the profit in its sale. Gordonia
deserves to be grown to perpetuate the
memory of its discoverer, John Bartram,
to whom horticulturists should not forget
their indebtedness.

The B. and B. Idea

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

The discussions on the "B. and B. Idea"
in recent numbers of The Floeists' Ex-
change have been most interesting and
instructive. However, it is important to
note that Mr. Kerr uses the abbreviation
for another meaning, namely, "ball and
burlap." Mr. Kerr is correct, and this is
the established usage of this abbreviation
in the nursery catalogs of America, and
it should not be used for the term "basket
and burlap."

This is just one other instance of the
crying need of having a code of "Standard-
ized Trade Practices" in the horticultural
businesses and professions. So much for
the trade terms and proper abbreviations.

As to the basket idea itself, it is a very
good one, but will not some one invent a
way to accomplish the same object, that
is confining the ball in some manner so it
can be lifted in the Summer while in full
fiower and growth, and replant with the
covering still on, the latter to disappear
by decay. It seems to me this is the only
way to handle the matter if the wire is of
a grade that will rust away quickly. This
would mean that the balling process would
only be good for one season.

Harlan P. Kelsey.

Salem, Mass., May 16, 1921.

[If we have caught aright the origina-
tor's idea it is that the wire basket may
hold its contents intact for one season
only; the idea being to stimulate the nur-
seryman's business during the otherwise
dead Summer season. The baskets at pres-
ent under trial are intended for plants per-
haps 2ft. to 3ft. high; if the present ex-
periment is successful the size of the
baskets would be increased to accommo-
date larger plants and evergreens. — En.]

Legislating Honesty Into the
Nurseryman

Each and every nurseryman and fiorlst who reads
The Floeists' Exchange and each and every man
whose business it is to purchase the products of the
nurseryman and florist should carefully read the fol-
lowing Bulletin which has been forwarded us by John
Watson, secretary of the American Association of
Nurserymen.

It is to he regretted that so much of a husiness
man's time has to he occupied in fighting bills intro-
duced into the National Congress, or into our vari-
ous State Assemblies, which, while purporting to be
for the good of the people at large, tend to the de-
moralization of interests which the author in his Ig-
norance may think he is benefiting. His efforts to
institute regulations which are intended primarily to
curb the comparative few who outrage all business
ethics may be commendable, but often at the same
time they have the effect of curtailing and injuring
the business of legitimate traders.

AVe hold that there should he some form of pun-
ishment for the nurseryman or grower who ships
stock not true to name. Indeed, it Is quite likely that
legal redress — a law to cover the case — already ex-
ists in our Code. As we understand it, too, the As-
sociation of American Nurserymen itself has under-

taken the task of investigating complaints concern-
ing the sale of untrue stock, and If its committee
does its work without fear or favor that should be all
sufllclent.

If after a conviction for shipping untrue stock
has been established by the A. A. of N. Committee, a
repetitiou of the offense occurs, it should then be up
to the Association to take the erring nurseryman to
court as well as to publish his name.

The Exchange has more than once pointed out
that there are much more simple ways of dealing with
misnaming than the very elaborate proposition ma-
chinery suggested by Representative Cramton on
April 11 as H. R. 247, which, if made into law, would
lie found, not only oppressive, as aforesaid, but also,
as set forth by Mr. Watson, extremely diflicult to
carry out. Readers should send a vigorous protest
against the proposed bill to all their representatives
in Congress : in addition, it would be a most desir-
able thing to authorize John Watson himself to go
to Washington and explain to as many as possible the
futility of any such enactment.

Follows the Cramton Bill

"Be it enacted 1}y tbe Senate and EoTise of Bepresen-
tatives of tlie TTnited States of America In Con^rress as-
sembled, That it shall be unlawful for any person to
ship or deliver for shipment from any State or Terri-
tory or the District of Columbia, to any other State or
Territory or the District of Columbia, or to receive
in any State or Territory or the District of Columbia
from "any other State or Territory, or the District of

Columbia, and having so received, to deliver in original
unbroken package, for pay or otherwise, or offer to de-
liver to any other person, any nursery stock which
does not bear on each tree, shrub, or plant, or on the
original unbroken package thereof, a label stating the
true, accepted and correct name of the variety of such
nursery stock, the name of the person who grew the
same, and the place where it was grown. The accepted
name of a variety shall be the name accepted by the
recognized authority for the class of nursery stock in
question, such as, in the case of fruit trees, the Ameri-
can Pomological Society. "Nursery stock," for the pur-
poses of this Act, shall include all field and greenhouse
gix)wn plants, such as fruit trees, fruit tree stock, trees,
shrubs, vines, cuttings, grafts, scions, buds, and all
other plants or parts of plants for planting or propaga-

Sec. 2. That no person shall so ship or deliver for
shipment or so receive and deliver or offer to deliver
to another, any nursery stock that is not true to name
or that is wrongly or improperly labeled in a manner
that will tend to mislead or deceive.

Sec. 3. That any person who shall violate any of the
provisions of this Act or who shall forge, counterfeit,
alter, deface, or destroy any label, certificate, or In-
voice provided for in this Act or in the regulations of
the Secretary of Agriculture, made and promulgated
under the authority of this Act, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be pun-
ished by a fine not exceeding $200 or by imprisonment
not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and im-
prisonment, in the discretion of the court. Upon con-
viction of any person of violation of any of the provi-
sions of this Act the Secretary of Agriculture shall
publish the name of such person.

Sec. 4. That It shall be the duty of each district

Is Everybody Ready for Memorial Day ?

Have any retail florists taken a cue from the article
in our Memorial Day number, "Disons avec les Fleurs."
If so, we would naturally like to hear of the results.

Frost was predicted for the night of May 17 in the
latitude of New York. The night was cold In north-
ern New Jersey and frost may have occurred in some
of the low lands there, but we do not think it was
general. In northern New York frost in some places
Is reported to have ruined the Strawberry crop, killed
Tomato plants and damaged hardier vegetables.

As Fi'itz Bahr remarked in the "Week's Work"
of our last issue, "The florist located opposite or near
a cemetery doesn't need suggestions regarding Me-
mtorial Day." It was with this fact in mind that the
author of our special Memorial Day story, "Disons
avec les Fleurs," set out to incorporate a practical sug-
gestion for city florists with a tale that carried the
true Memorial Day spirit and that could be read
vrlth enjoyment by all. How well he succeeded in
the latter endeavor we leave to the judgment of our
subscribers. As to the practical suggestion aiming at
an increased use of flowers elsewhere than in ceme-
teries, we believe he hit on an escllent plan, one that
the American public will approve of and take to with
enthusiasm if it is correctly presented to them.

The thought that those who died in the World War
gave their lives for their country is impressed upon
us all. The thought that they and those who lost them
thus paid our debts ; that we who came through the
war unscathed or never ever felt its crudest pangs
stiU owe them something that we can hardly hope
to repay, is less generally realized and expressed. Yet
it is one that should not be lost sight of or disregarded.

There exists no better way to acknowledge that
indebtedness and to attempt the expression of the
gratitude it arouses, than by proffering a tribute of
flowers on the day when all memories are dedicated to
fallen heroes. This is the meaning of "Disons avec les
Fleurs."

The Business Outlook

Those who have closely followed general business
conditions since the Armistice, men who are more or
less familiar with the fluctuations which have oc-
curred since that time, both upward and downward,
together with the general falling off in our export
business (apart from the necessities of life), are now
inclined to view the future with cheerfulness because
of their belief that the settlement of the reparations
question — so long in progress of negotiation and so
often apparently in danger of a total collapse — must
help all the nations of Europe and naturally react
on our own.

With fuller assurances of peace prevailing through-
out the civilized countries, business will become sta-
bilized, better money will be placed In circulation,
exchange wUl rise in value, and the entire effect of
these conditions will be steadying and reassuring eco-
nomically.

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace recently made the
statement that it would be better for all of us if a
higher scale of prices for all commodities prevails
after adjustment than the scale before the war. We
fully agree with Mr. Wallace when he says that a
50 per cent to 7o per cent higher price level would
help us to get out of debt provided this price level
is uniformly high, and it is his helief that we are
likely to And ourselves ultimately on a level o^ 30
per cent higher than before the war.

We can see no reason why attempts should be made
to drive prices down to before the war level; if this
has to come it should reaUy come to pass so slowly
that the people at large would never realize it, tak-
ing 10, 20 or, better, 25 years to consummate.

This is not at all a plea for proflteering or for
keeping prices at a higher level than is warranted.
Farmers, for instance, are today receiving lower pay-
ment for the majority of their produce than at any
time since 1917 but the efEect of these low rates is
hardly reflected in our markets, especially those of
New York, where vegetables and fruits are offered by
retailers at prices that range dangerously near the
profiteering point, in many instances, in fact, at prices
that can be classed as outrageous profiteering.

How's Your Voice?

There's nothing like a good rousing song, vigorously
rendered by a livewire crowd, for stirring up enthu-
siasm and carrying forward a worthy cause. And
the easier and more familiar the tune, the finer the
effect.

Consciously or unconsciously, the originator of the
slogan for the S. A. F. membership drive, now under
way, hit upon a phrase that imtaediately suggests
the lilting swing of one of "Bobbie" Burns's best
knciwn lyrics — "Comin' Thro' the Rye." In conse-
quence there has been submitted, with respectful def-
erence to the society, the rallying song printed In
another column.

The Exchange suggests that every local florists'
club or other trade gathering take a few moments
off during its next meeting, clear its throat, gather
'round the piano, banjo, ukelele or other available
instrument, and sing this song a few times with
plenty of spu'it and lung power. Then let every mem-
ber learn the words, let the local club's practice now
and then until August, and then let every visitor to
the convention come prepared to let his voice mingle
with the others in one grand membership anthem.
Can you imagine the tonal efEect?

And meanwhile, of course, push the drive and get
your new member, each one of you.

Mother's Day — Criticism and Abuse

.Judging by the clippings and letters that have
reached us. never did a Mother's Day stir up so much
controversy and discussion as that of 1921. Judging
by our city reports, never did a second Sunday in
May bring the florists of the country such a volume of
business. Never, apparently, were more sincere ef-
forts made to distribute the demand over various
kinds of flowers ; yet never did the stock of Carna-
tions, especially white ones, prove so incapable of
meeting requirements.

The whole situation, it would seem. Is as confused
as ever, with all the more need for a better under-
standing between trade and public if that which is
best about the day is to be retained for the benefit
of all. Obviously, the only real solution is the educa-
tion of the people as to the application of the usual
business principles and natural trade laws to flower
selling — and even then there is no certainty that
the public will agree to be educated.

There is no reason, however, why criticism of the
florist that becomes so uncontrolled, so abusive and
so unwarranted by fact as to become almost slander-
ous, should be permitted to go unchallenged. One
vituperative editorial from a Boston paper branded
florists as Judas Iscariots. "men who in their rush for
gold will walk over the bodies of their own friends."
it advises, that "before another Mother's Day comes,
the women of Boston should secure Carnations and
sell them so that Mother's Day will not be tainted
by the profiteering pollution of petty grafters."

Across the continent, in Denver, another paper of
pronounced mud slinging tendencies and flamboyant
policies — even to the color of its newsprint stock —
gave broad spaces at the top of its papers to such
sentiments as, "The florists like Mother's Day. For
the sentiment? Yes. Because that sentiment makes
folks pause to quibble over price. And the florists
soak everybody who wants to buy Carnations to honor
mother." And then it urges a general "swatting of
the proflteer" in cartoons no less crude than its lan-
guage.

This sort of abuse means little insofar as it is not,
as we know, justified in the great majority of cases.
In Denver, for example, flowers were sold out on
May .8. but at prices lower than those of past years
and those in many other cities — as the local paper
could have discovered if it had ceased yelling and
made some inquiries among the trade. Nevertheless,
this sort of criticism hurts both one's feelings and
one's business : also, it reacts upon the sentiment of
future Mother's Days.

It would seemi, therefore, that the S. A. F. or at
least State or local florist organizations could well

afford to meet, disprove and silence some of the more
blatant and undignified charges.

In the main, however, it rests with individual flo-
rists to keep their customers informed of situations
as they develop. In this work local publicity wiU
prove of invaluable help. And, needless to say, The
Exchange will hold itself ready to cooperate in every
possible way and in every possible instance so that
business relations between flower buyers and flower
dealers shall continue on a basis of mutual satisfac-
tion and harmony.

Incongruities in Congress

Most of us will agree that, on the whole, the Con-
gress is an efficient and useful institution. But we
are frequently led to conclude that this in spite of,
rather than because of, some of the matters upon
which it and its members waste their potentially valu-
able time. Some of these matters strike us as utterly
futile and fatuous — such, for instance, as Representa-
tive Kindred's request to have published in the Coji-
gressional Record his explanation of the Einstein
Theory, over which he has been "laboring earnestly"
for three weeks! How valuable has he been as a
legislator and public servant during those three weeks
of earnest labor, we wonder?

Still more harmful and to be regretted, however,
is the active support of such ill advised attempts at
regulatory law making as the Cramton Bill published
and commented on elsewhere in this issue. As pointed
out by Mr. Watson, if this biU were made a law it
would in effect attempt both the unnecessary and the
Impossible — the unnecessary because there is already
in progress a definite movement toward higher stand-
ards in nursery business methods which wUl bring
about the desired results sooner than any law could
do ; and the impossible because the tracing and record-
ing of the source and genealogy of every plant, tree
and shrub grown for sale outdoors or under glass is
impracticable and not to be expected in every ease.

That wiUul misrepresentation, wrongful labeling
and negligence giving rise to similar results are utterly
wrong and must be stopped, we will all agree. This
is the platform upon which the A. A. of U. is making
its present growth and progress and upon which it
has the support of all right-minded growers — suffi-
cieut support, indeed, to insure the ultimate elimina-
tion of all others from the business.

Similarly, we believe, growers of herbaceous ma-
terials, which are not always thought of as nursery
stock, though strictly of the same class, are deter-
mined to deal fairly by the public and see that their
trade is kept above reproach and free of unscrupulous
deceivers. The success of all these aims depends
largely, however, upon these nurserymen and growers
and their representative organizations being trusted,
met half way and relied on to work in the public in-
terest. Such legislation as the Cramton Bill with-
holds such trust and belief, casts aspersion upon the
efforts of the fiorist trades and, in the end, can accom-
plish nothing helpful.

Concerted efforts should be made to prevent the
enactment of this bill Into law.

Side Lights on the Bulb Mixup

According to a recent report, Holland bulb men
are busily buying up the French Paperwhites, etc., at
prices some 20 francs lower than those announced
by the growers in cables to the United States, the
latter figures having led a number of American im-
porters to declare that they would not attempt to
handle French stocks this season. What is the psy-
chology back of these Dutch purchases?

Are the Hollanders simply striving to keep prices
up to inconvenience American buyers and thereby
"get even" for things that happened in 1920? Or do
they contemplate gathering in the bulk of the sup-
plies, and holding them until Summer when, pre-
sumably, some American dealers will see such an in-
sistent demand that they will throw discretion to the
winds and pay almost anything, reasonable or un-
reasonable, for a stock of bulbs?

If the latter, the Hollanders may be in for a sudden
disillusionment, provided plans for a big conference
of Amierican interests materialize and result in a defi-
nite policy to which all participating bulb merchants
will be expected to adhere. On the other hand, what
else can they be thinking of, since Holland is anything
but a bulb consuming nation as compared with the
United States? England, with its almost unlimited
continental source of cut flowers within 24 hours'
reach, will certainly not compete for the possession of
the French bulbs, and we question whether either
Germany or Russia are in the flower growing mood,
at least to the extent of buying Paperwhites.

It would be a big help in straightening out this
tangle if actual prices were available upon which
bulb production costs could be based. With facts to
go ou, Ijuyers could themsehes determine the necessity

National Flower Show

Prints of the floor plan showing the areas avail-
able in the big Municipal Building In Cleveland for
trade exhibits at the forthcoming National Flower
Show will be ready for mailing very shortly. Pro-
spective exhibitors are advised to give early consider-
ation to the matter of making their exhibits, so as to
be In readiness to make reservations on receipt of
plans, for only by acting prompUy can the best loca-
tions be assured.

Full details concerning the grand capital prize of
$3000 offered for the best development of a garden,
will be forthcoming In a short while. Even with an
Indefinite knowledge of conditions, great Interest is
already being taken in this feature of the show, which
will be the most important and grandest ever at-
tempted at an exhibition in this country, or, indeed,
anywhere. Never before was so large a prize offered.
Several other large prizes offered should be equally
attractive to those able to compete for them. George
Bate of 227 High ave., Cleveland, is chairman of the
committee appointed to secure out-of-town exhibits,
and is particularly anxious to get into communication
with any grower who can exhibit either in the pri-
vate or commercial classes. It Is not at all too early
to commence preparations for exhibits In many of the
classes ; in fact, they should be commenced now. As
S. A. F. President Roland stated at a recent meeting
in Cleveland, no private estate or growing establish-
ment is too small to undertake some kind of exhibit,
and small as well as large exhibits are cordially wel-
comed. If a large number of these small exhibits are
forthcoming, there can be no question as to the success
of the show. Bear this in mind, Mr. Grower, and do
what you can to swell the list of exhibits.

The Washington Convention

Additional exhibitors in the trade exhibition are
the following:

Ever Ready Flower Pot Cover Co., Buffalo, N. T.

L. C. Stroh & Sons, Batavla, N. T.

Macaw Bros., Norwood, Del. Co., Pa.

The president and secretary of the society wUl be
in Washington on June 2 and will have a meeting
with Adolph Gude, Z. D. Blackistone and David Grill-
bortzer, the local advisory committee, at which will
be discussed the arrangements now being made for
the trade exhibition, which at this time bids fair
to break all previous exhibition records In point of
size and comprehensiveness. If any prospective ex-

regard to the exhibition, he should communicate with

Membership Statistics

President Roland is of the opinion that the society
should be in possession of statistics covering the busi-
ness of each and all of our members, for publication
in the society's annual report. Such information
would be of great value when the society is called
upon to make trade representations before legislative
bodies. In addition to stating our membership, figures
could be given covering what our membership rep-
resented in the way of glass operated, invested in-
terests, and so forth. With the idea of collecting this
Information, the secretary will prepare and shorUy
' mail to each member, a questionnaire, which should
be completed and returned for the compilation pro-
cess. It will be interesting to our members to know
how many retail florists, growers, private growers
and gardeners, and others representing branches of
allied trades, are comprised in our membership, and
how many grow the whole or part of the products
I which they sell. It is thought that not even a guess
j could be hazarded as to the number of square feet of
' glass operated by S. A. F. members.

It would also, in the opinion of our president, be

This is State Vice-presidents' Week

The following letter has gone out to every State
Vice-president :
Dear Mr. Vice-president:

At the suggestion of President Roland and a lib-
eral contribution from an enthusiastic member to
cover the expense of a membership drive In the S. A.
F. and O. H., a resolution was passed at a recent
meeting of the Board of Directors in Washington to
have a committee appointed to launch this move-
ment and the undersigned committee Is the result.

Our goal Is "To double the membership of the S. A.
F. and O. H. in 90 days," and our slogan is "Every
Member Get a Member." This campaign opens May
1.5 and closes at Convention time.

It has heretofore been an unwritten rule that a part
of every State Vice-president's duty was to secure
new members. In very rare Instances, this was ad-
hered to, but In most cases It was entirely over-
looked. Now, let us In this drive hope for big things
from the State Vice-presidents.

The enclosed circulars are explanatory. Shotild you
want more material, circulars or application blanks,
kindly write this office and they will be forthcoming.

Tours for a successful drive,

J. F. Ammann, S. S. Pennock, A. L. Miller, Paul B.
Klingspom, Jos. H. Hill, Membership Committee.

This is a flne chance for State Vice-presidents to
prove that they are useful as well as ornamental,
and we believe they will.

Lessons of the Flowers

Nothing teaches us so much in this world as flowers,
if we will only watch them, understand the messages
they exhale and profit by them. Flowers can do so
much for a man or for a woman. No one can raise
flowers, live among them, love them, and not be the
better for their influence.

liy their birth they show us how, out of things hard,
out "of disappointment and failure by the overcoming
of obstacles and the bending to dlllieult tasks, creep
lorth the most beautltul re.-iiilts,

l!y their cultivation thoy show how ditCerent na-
tures need different treatment. By the manner in
which they refuse to thrive near weeds they teach
the clearest lesson of human association, and show
that sin Is an intrusion in this world.

Kvery lesson, every pleasure, we can learn and de-
rive from these silent messengers of the earth. Flow-
ers often speak to us when our own words seem power-
less to express what we really mean. They are the
daintiest bits of God's handiwork. — The Parish Re-
view, St. Joseph's Church, Jersey City, N. J.

* Memorial Tree for New York's Wartime Poet

Washington Square Park in New York City was
enriched on May 16 by the planting of a handsome
young Oak tree in memory of Alan Seeger, the young
poet of the Greenwich Village section who was killed
in France during the war. Prominent persons in dra-
matic and literary circles took part in the dedicational
exercises which were attended by some 300 observers,
but one of the most touching tributes was paid by
Park Commissioner F. D. Gallatin who, m accepting
the tree for the city, said :

"It is especially appropriate that a tree should bo
planted in the name of a poet, for its roots reach deep
down in the earth, the source of all life. I hope that
all those who love right, nobility and truth will come
often to this place and draw inspiration from the
example of Alan Seeger."

it is planned to erect around the tree a fence bear-
ing a tablet and a suitable inscription.

Evergreens for Memorial Planting

Editor The Florists' E:cchange:

The planting of memorial trees on all the highways
throughout the continent discussed in your May 7
issue, is the finest idea ever. The resulting beauty
of the landscape can only be imagined.

I believe that a large majority of the trees should
be evergreens of the various varieties best adapted to
the different locations. It is remarkable how rapidly,
the evergreens have grown in favor of late years. As-
beautiful in Winter as in Summer, serving at all times
as windbreaks, perfectly hardy and generally free
from diseases that would in decorative effect surpass
the deciduous trees. Grown from cuttings there should
be an ample supply to meet all needs in the course of
a few years. If some one has already begun to plant
evergreens on the highways in a large way, it would
be very interesting to read an account of the results
and success attained.

Special Holidays in June

According to a calendar of bank and public holidays
for June issued by the Guaranty Trust Co. of New
York, the only dates that are iiot celebrated some-
where in the world are June 2, i, 7, 8, 14, 21, 25 and
26. Only three of the twenty-two holidays, however,
are of interest to persons in the United States, and
they only in certain sections.

Friday, June 3, will be a holiday in Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Wednesday,
June 15, is a holiday in Idaho. Friday, June 17, Is
observed in Massachusetts, especially in and around
Boston.

Except for the last mentioned date, which is the
anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill and often
called "Patriot's Day," we do not at this writing
know the significance of these observances. Possibly
some reader in the sections mentioned will enlighten
us and our readers in general.

The Parables of Safed the Sage

The Parable of the Garden

I spake unto Keturah, saying, I will make a Garden.

And Keturah said, So thou hast said, and so has thou
done, each Spring since ever I knew thee. Thou wilt
make a Garden in the Spring; but who will hoe it in
Summer?

And I heeded her not, but went to work. And after a
time she came unto me and helped me.

And I sang unto her a song, saying:
I want to be a gardener and with the gardeners stand.
An homy handed son of toil with an haystack in mine

hand;
Beneath the tall Tomato tree I'll swingr the glltterlnff

hoe,
And slay the wild Potato bug that sklppeth o'er the
snow.

And she inquired, saying, Didst thou make up that
nonsense, or may there have been before thee another
man who did it?

And I said. The song that I have sung unto thee is a
free translation from the Sanskrit or some other An-
cient Language which was spoken in the Garden of
Eden. Thus doth mankind sing it every Spring.

And she said, Thy first father who sang that song
was not a brilliant success as a Gardener.

And I said, Woman, be thou silent, and remember.
My first father, even Adam, was singing that song to
the tune, "I want to be an Angel," and doing very well
until thy first mother came along and put him off the
key.

And I sang to her yet again, saying,
I'll buy myself a Durham ram and a gray alpaca cow,
And a lock stick Osage Orange hedge and a patent
leather plow.

And she made no comment, for from the days of
Adam there hath been one unanswerable argument
which a man might use in time of need.

And I said, O Keturah, well do I know that I am a
bum gardener; and that by Midsummer there will be
more weeds than garden truck of my planting. Yet can
I not deny myself the annual luxury of getting my own
fingers into the soil, and beholding that wondrous mira-
cle of God whereby the earth doth renew life.

And Keturah said. My lord, I know it; and I blame
thee not. As a gardener thou art little improvement
upon Adam, thine ancestor, and he lost his job; but I
am very glad to have thee get back to nature, and to go
back with thee. Yea, and so long as we do this, I think
we can never wholly grow old.

The Rose, Queen of Flowers
Under Glass

Herein is the condensed wisdom of a grower
who has spent practically a quarter of a century
among Roses. A recognized producer of high
grade blooms for the New York market, his
remarks merit attention.

Read before tlie Florists Club of Philadelphia,
April 5, 1921, by Anthony Ruzicka

Memories of Early Days

My first experience in growing Roses under glass
began about twent>^ years ago. In the particular district
that I was in. American Beauty reigned supreme; any
bench that had headroom enough grew Beauty and
nothing else. Bride and Bridesmaid were grown on the
side benches and occasionally, a few Perle des Jardins.
Meteor for red had a house to itself, as to do it well
required a high temperature.

At that period a man roomed in the greenhouse shed
and boarded in a boarding house on the place, being
paid $10 to $18 a month according to ability. It was
only an exceptional man that received $20 a month. On
the smaller places he had to get up at 4 o'clock and help
pack and take his turn at firing; to get a position at the
better establishments, you either had to have a friend
or get your name on a waiting list.

Favorites of the Past anil Present

Beauty in those days was a different Rose from today.
It was replanted with young stock annually, and pro-
duced readily three times the flowers it does today and
of better quality, a grand Rose, but its day is over.

When Killarney first came, nobody had a good word
for it, but when its possibilities under proper culture
were demonstrated, Killarney and its sports were su-
preme. I have in mind that on the place where I was
at that time we had 4000 Killarney one year, the next
year we had 60OO of this family. Double White Kil-
larney when well grown, is still today the Rose par ex-
cellence in its class.

In red, meanwhile, we had General MacArthur which,
while a fine Rose was too single and opened too quickly.
Liberty was not dependable enough, then came Rich-
mond which for years had the field to itself. Following,
came Milady which, with some growers, is still the only
red. A beautiful Rose when well done. Hoosier Beauty
would still be extensively grown were it not for Had-
ley which, when well grown, is without a peer in its
class. I remember in March 1917 at the show held here
in Philadelphia, a vase of Hadley with 7ft. stems, flow-
ers in proportion. It was, I think, the finest vase of
Roses I have ever seen.

In yellow, we had Melody and Lady Hillingdon. The
latter well grown was a real yellow, and then Sunburst
and Mrs. Aaron Ward which we still have with us and
are both money makers for those that do them well.
Ward especially is a corsage Rose in a class by itself.

In pink we had Marjdand which, with some growers,
proved extremely popular. Properly handled it was a
great producer. Radiance, which while an easy doer,
was not liked; Shawyer had a brief popularity; Antoine

Rivoire or Taft as a fancy Rose was a beautiful flower ;
Lady Alice Stanley was well liked by some and grown
extensively; Jonkheer Mock had its brief run. Then
came Mrs. Chas. Russell which, well grown, was the
finest pink Rose of its day; it is still very popular. Then
Ophelia gave us a class of pink which was an eye
opener. I have seen the flowers of this Rose in its
different stages, sold as yellow, pink and, when open,
used as white. It certainly is in a class of its own, and
with its sports and seedlings, will be with us for many
years to come. From Ophelia and Shawyer came Col-
umbia, the finest Rose of its color to date, a free grower
yet a good commercial Rose, Summer or Winter, a
money maker at all times. A house of Columbia in
crop, well grown, is a sight to be long remembered.

Premier is taking the place long held by American
Beauty and, as I recall the vases of it at the New York
show, it is well named. Premier it is in its color class.

Among the newer Roses, we have Dunlop, Pilgrim,
Crusader and Butterfly. Of these only Butterfly, has
made a hit in New York. It is extremely popular; the
others are still on trial. We have other candidates for
favor coming this year which, if needed, will find their
place or be discarded as they must prove profitable as
well as popular.

Soil for Roses

Select good sod taken from any soil that will grow
a good Corn crop. Lay up into piles, with from one-
quarter to one-third good cow manure in alternate lay-
ers in the Fall. A lighter soil requires less than heavy
soil. The compost should be thoroughly chopped down
and mixed before filling into benches. At this time,
apply to a bench lD0x4ft., thirty lbs. of either 16 per
cent acid phosphate or fine ground bone meal ; both
are good and price usually governs as to which is used.
The bench is then ready for planting.

Young Plants

Every grower should try both grafted and own root
of each novelty, unless for some reason the introducer
advises otherwise. Under some conditions, grafted and
own root do equally well, under others, either may
prove superior. This should be determined by each
grower for himself. Usually grafted plants will do
equally well the first year, but be much better as they
get older. I have seen them six and seven years old,
and still very profitable. In buying plants, a grower
should be particular where he buys so as not to bring
into his place some disease, which it will take time and
money to eradicate. By doing his own propagating he
should avoid all weak and sickly plants, but grafted
stock, unless grown on a large scale, can usually be
bought cheaper and better, as the average grower has
not the special facilities required for this work.

Remember the best bench on the place is not too good
for young Rose stock.

Selecting Varieties

Here the grower must be guided by the market to
which he ships as popular taste varies. Every grower
should keep record of the number of plants of each
variety he grows, also the daily cut and the money value
of same. By this means he, at the end of the year, can
know which variety is paying him; he can increase or
decrease his plantings accordingly.

I cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of
doing this, as unless a grower does so, he is only guess-
ing at his results. Also, a grower must adapt himself
to his own local condition of soil and greenhouses.
Many establishments have houses in which Roses can-
not be grown profitably in the Winter ; if these are used
for Summer Roses, and rested in the Winter months,
they will be found to be profitable indeed, providing
judgment is used in selecting varieties grown.

Ventilation

Roses vary so as to temperature requirements, that
only general rules can be given. Sudden changes should
be avoided. Night temperatures of 58 deg. to 60 deg.
with no ventilation suit the general run of Roses, with
temperatures of 63 deg. to 68 deg. varying to correspond
with amount of ventilation used. Days when you have
watered heavy or syringed, keep a little on the warm
side. When the houses are on the dry side, they are
better a little cooler. Day temperatures should average ;
cloudy days, 66 deg. to 70 deg., sunny days, 73 deg. to
78 deg. varying between these as houses are wet or dry,
or according to outside weather conditions.

When watering, the grower must be guided by the
condition of his plants, also by his soil. As a general
rule, a plant that is full of growth and healthy, will,
where the drainage is good, take plenty. More harm is
done by not enough water than too much.

Diseases

The common diseases of Roses, can best be prevented
by proper culture. In case of black spot, by spraying,
for mildew by painting the steam pipes with sulphur;
both used as preventatives. In case of aphis or green
fly, any of the nicotine papers, properly used, will con-
trol. Thrips is best checked by spraying the tops of the
plants with brown sugar and Paris green in solution.
If crown gall or canker, appear, burn the infected stock
as soon as possible and do not use the soil over again
unless first sterilized. Meanwhile, quarantine the house
that has it. Club root or nematodes where prevalent,
can be prevented by sterilizing the soil, or by growing
grafted plants. Avoid upland soil, using only lowland
soil which is under water for several weeks each year,
as this will be found free of it.

Feeding

Where it can be had, manure water is one of the best
methods of feeding, as plants can actually be given just
what feed they need. Only one precaution to be ob-
served— never water dry plants witli it. Give these clear
water at first.

With commercial fertilizers let each grower take a
bench loOft. long divided into six equal parts, use a
different mi.xture of fertilizer in each part, also keep an
accurate record of production. He will then, in a year
or two. acquire a practical knowledge of his soil re-
quirements as to fertilizer which he can get in no other
way. Try out all the standard materials, as very often
a high priced material when judged by results is much
the cheapest.

Essentials to Success

A modern icebo.x is a necessary adjunct, as there is
no use in growing good stock, if you cannot take proper
care of same. In shipping, packing, and handling Roses,
be guided by the advice of your wholesaler, as he knows
from personal contact, what the requirements of his
particular market are.

With the present prices of coal, only an efficient heat-
ing system, should be used; if j'ou haven't one, the
quicker you make a change, the quicker you will save
money. The greenhouse construction companies have
experts who will be glad to call, and suggest such
changes as are needed.

It seems a pitj' that so many fine ranges of glass are
allowed to go to rack and ruin for want of painting
and needed repairs. You can grow good Roses in a
tumbled down house, but the chances are very much
against you and the cost is prohibitive. On the other
hand, I have houses that are 26 j'ears old, iron frame,
that are practicallv as good today as when built, and
ready for another '16. My experience in traveling around
is, that where houses are neglected and kept slovenly,
the stock usually matches the surroundings, but in a
well kept place is usually in keeping with the surround-
ings.

In conclusion, the modern Rose range with its big
iron framers, efficient heating system, and economical
working conditions, has a big advantage over the old-

fasliiuncd i-aiigL- wlicrc conditions arc usually the re-
verse. It behooves a grower who would keep up to
dale, and meet this competition, to remodel his plant
and bring it in line with modern conditions. He can get
some very good ideas along these lines, by visiting some
of these modern places and liy consulting the trouble

By all means give our young men a thorough com-

knowledge gained by experience will equip them tor

Now Read What John Watson Writes

Nurserymen who buy stock from others realize the
dilliculties that compliance with such a law would
mean if, indeed, compliance would be possible. Nur-
sery stock frequently passes through two and three
hands before it finally reaches the consumer. And
sometimes a variety is bought in different quantities
from half a dozen other nurserymen. It would en-
tail an endless amount of red tape to keep a record
of the name of the grower of each tree and it would
require tracing every tree through the hands of
each man handling it back to the grower.

Under this bill, the nurseryman selling to the con-
sumer would be responsible, while the nurserymen
acting as jobbers and reselling the stock and the
grower as well would be relieved of all responsibility.
The nurseryman shipping to the consumer would also
he responsible for the acts of all his employees.

Another objection from a business standpoint would
be that the seller would have to advertise to his cus-
tomers the name and address of the nursery firm
supplying any of the stock not grown by the shipper.

This same bill was Introduced last year but faUed
of passage on account of vigorous opposition. It is
again before Congress. I earnestly suggest that mem-
bers handling fruit trees, fruit tree seedlings, orna-
mentals and greenhouse plants write their members
of Congress their objections to the bUl. With this
association itself undertaking to protect the planter
and doing that, such a bill is untimely and unneces-
sary. If the members approve of my doing so, I shall
be glad to go down to Washington where I have a
number of friends in both the Senate and House,
and explain the unnecessary and unworkable provi-
sions in this bill. Will you let me hear from you
with a letter that I can use?

"^ Why Half the Apple Tree Bloomed

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

The nursery department called attention, in a re-
cent issue (April .30, page 1029) to a peculiar method
of blooming on two Apple trees, seen from a train.
These trees were in full bloom on one side, with no
bloom on the other side. No statement was made
as to the location of these trees.

Two possible explanations, it seems to me, may be
given for this phenomenon. If these trees are located
in a region that was affected by the cold spells in
April, there is a possibility that all of the fruit buds
on one side of the trees (the windward side) were
injured, while those on the leeward side were not
injured.

The other explanation is common knowledge;
namely, that, due to alternation of bearing, or biennial
bearing, some trees have fruit on one limb or on one-
half of the tree in one year, and none on the rest of
the tree. The following year, those parts that bore
fruit the previous year are barren.

I know a very striking example of this, in an or-
chard containing Gravensteins. One tree has just one
limb (about one-fifth of the tree) that bloomed last
year, the remainder of the tree being absolutely free
of blossoms. This year, the tree was a mass of bloom,
except for that one limb that bloomed last year, and
that was solid green, like a green island in a sea of
very light pink. C. H. Connors. Ploriculturist.

The Florist's Address to the
Dandelion

You cheeky yellow headed scamp.
Thus on our lawn to atretch your campi
With standorda set, as we espy,
Even sharp lawn mowers to defy.

You kill the grass, the lawn you spoil.
An ugly pest; in fact, you're vile;
One word in praise we cannot say.
But, worst of all, you've come to stay.

The wind in league appears to be;
Your seed is scattered tariff free;
Even children in their sportive play,
Blow one two — three — four, and away.

Some clergy fain would raise thee high
Above Carnations which we buy;
If they and thou couldst have the say
Farewell for aye to Mother's Day.

With all these forces on your side
'Twill be a task to crush your pride;
But since you hold your head so high
To clear you out ^ve're going to try.

Under this and similar captions. The Flobists' Ex-
change, starting some six months ago, ran a series of
articles which early developed a most interesting dis-
cussion, the greater number of the writers agreeing
as to the necessity of technical training of our florists
to come, but the majority not favoring the use of the
funds of the S. A. F. for that purpose. Two letters
which follow have unfortunately been omitted for

A Step in the Right Direction for the Bene-
fit of the Colleges, the Commercial Men
and the Greenhouse Industry
of the Future

In The Florists' Exchange of Dec. 11, 1930, I read
an interesting article entitled, "A Plan for the Future of
the Permanent Fund," which appealed to me as being
extremely timely. I believe the suggestion is a step in
the right direction. I am comparatively young in the
trade and, being in the South at considerable distance
from the large greenhouse centers and markets, I am
not as familiar with the S. A. F. and its members as I
would like to be.

During the past four years, I have been horticultural
foreman at the Georgia State College of Agriculture,
and in that capacity I have come to know a good many
horticultural students and to realize their needs, desires
and tendencies. For the past several years I have no-
ticed the decline in interest among young men who have
chanced to fall into greenhouse work. This can be ac-
counted for, partly at least, by the fact that they usually
come into the greenhouse during their Summer vacation
when the work is the most disagreeable of any time
during the entire year. Frequently they get a distaste
for it then, which they never overcome. I have noticed
that the young men who begin work in the Fall, when
conditions are more pleasant, are more apt to stay and
make good.

Since many young men do not know what they desire
to make their life work until they get to college where
they get a taste of various lines of agriculture, that is
the proper place to exert the influence which will turn
them toward greenhouse work. This, in addition to the
fact that many of the agricultural colleges are already
more or less well equipped for giving good courses in
floriculture and other lines of greenhouse work, makes
it seem advisable to me to further develop their effi-
ciency.

At least one reason why the college courses, as they
have been given in the past, have not fitted the gradu-
ates for practical greenhouse work is that commercial
greenhouse owners have not made their desires known
definitely to the colleges. Another reason is that insuffi-
cient time has been devoted to these courses to give the
graduates a practical working knowledge of the indus-
try. With the necessary financial help, many of the
colleges could establish two- three- or four-year de-
gree courses in greenhouse work, during which sufficient
time could be spent in work under commercial condi-
tion that would largely take the place of the old appren-
tice system.

.*\ part of the I'ermaTient Fund of the S. ■\. F.. to-
gether with cooperative appropriations from the Fed-
eral and State governments, could be used to establish
and maintain these special courses. The remainder of
the fund, together with personal corttributions, which
1 feel sure it would he possible to got from many of the
commercial greenhouse owners, could l)C used as a
scholarship loan fund. From this fund worthy young
men. who desire to make horticulture their life work
and want special training along greenhouse lines, could
secure sufficient loans to enable them to attend one of
the colleges offering such a course as I have suggested.
As these loans came back, the fund, after a reasonable
time, would become truly permanent and would grow
into .something really worth while. Some such arrange-
ment would bring the commercial men and the colleges
closer together and would, I believe, prove a very great
benefit to both, as well as to the greenhouse industry of
the future.

1 am attempting not to offer an entirely new sugges-
tion, but simply to express my commendation of the
suggestion made in the article previously published and
to add a little to it. Chas. B. Sweet.

Where Are Our Future Florists and Gar-
deners to Come From Unless We Have
Some Kind of a School of
Horticulture ?

The idea of a Permanent Fund for the S. A. F. and
O. H. is excellent, but it would not be "permanent" if you
are going to spend it ! This is obvious, but neverthe-
less a fact. Our old friend, "Pat" Welch of Boston hit
the nail where it needs it most when he says : "Let's wait
till we have $100,000." At our present rate of progress
this should not take so very long — not as long as it took to
accumulate the first $50,000 (about 35 years).

Be that as it may, there is no reason why an open
discussion should not be encouraged and ideas formu-
lated as to the best ways and means of investing the
funds of the S. A. F. and O. H. when it comes time to
cross that bridge.

At the S. A. F. Convention in Buffalo (there was no
O. H. there) I had the temerity to read a paper sug-
gesting that the Society establish a trial grounds, some-
what on the order of that at Chiswick (now Wisley)
which is the official experimental station of the R. H.
S. Now, the mere fact that Chiswick was an experi-
mental ground is not all. The idea that impresses me
most at this time is that it was the "school" for many
young gardeners who learned there the fundamentals of
growing outdoors and under glass, plants, flowers, vege-
tables and fruit and where today in the United States
can the young man learn the all around gardening other
than in private establistrments, which at that, fail to give
the commercial training?

My father used to tell me that when I knew how to
"water" properly I would be a florist. Perhaps in grow-
ing that is the most important operation today, as al-
ways. Where are our future florists and gardeners to
come from unless we have some kind of school of hor-
ticulture? True, many colleges are doing a great deal
along this line, but they, too, lack the breadth and prac-
tical knowledge that are neeiled. True, this is a day for
specializing, but the all around florist is still needed and
he is hard to find. Many florists cannot get their sons
to take an interest in the "growing end." The wages
are small, compared with those of other trades and pro-
fessions offer better inducements. The younger element
is not inclined to push the wheelbarrow, and as J. D.
Eisele said to me once, "We need more wheelbarrow
pushers." Not that a man should push a barrow all his
life, but the young man who would start at the bottom
and work up shows the right spirit. There is not a flo-
rist's establishment today which is not short of skilled labor ;
the young man willing to start at the bottom and learn
the business — the apprentice, that is — is a thing of the
past. The question is, what can we offer the school,
college, business school graduate, in the way of an in-
ducement to get him into the growing business ?

Why not, then, a school of horticulture, where the fim-
damentals of both practical and theoretical knowledge
can be gained? "Where the love of horticulture can be
instilled? Where commercial growing in all its aspects
can be taught and demonstrated?

Yes, we must probably wait till we get that $100,000.
Even then this idea might not appeal to the majority, but it
could be evidenced from time to time and scholarshios
could be offered. The possibilities are great, after the
nucleus is once started.

Since we have such a paternal government giving
away free seeds and what not, maybe we could get
an appropriation from the benevolent agricultural de-
partment. Who knows? When we are at Washington
this Summer, why not inquire?

By John Young, Secretary, 43 W. 18th St., N. T.'

National Publicity Campaign

Each week of late the trade papers
have been kind enough to publish for ua
the names of those in the trade who have
paid their 1921 subscriptions to the cam-
paign fund. Our committee has made
urgent appeals for the speedy payment
of the subscriptions for the current year,
and, so far, the responses has been most
satisfactory. There are still, however,
numerous guarantors who have not yet
made remittances. If the reader of this
article should happen to be one of them,
he can materially assist the committee
in its earnest effort to resume national
advertising now when the trade needs it,
by sending a cheque at once to the secre-
tary, who will publish the subscription in
accordance with the new custom. If the
reader has not yet subscribed to the fund,
he is reminded that his assistance would
be thankfully acknowledged in the same
way.

The benefit received through the cam-
paign has been so large that it is far
from the committee's intention to cease
effort; indeed, the campaign is to be prose-
cuted with greater vigor than ever, and
indefinitely, but they look for the support
of the trade in this work, and all who
contribute are most assuredly helping
themselves and the whole trade in the di-
rection of bigger and better business. None
should wait to receive a subscription
blank. A subscription can be sent in
just as well without.

The following subscriptions were paid
in last week:

James J. McManmon reports business at
his large nursery in Kenwood to be the
largest in his long experience. He has
a large stock of exceptionally well grown
evergreens in all the popular varieties,
and has lately shipped orders for four and
five carloads each to different customers.

The store on Prescott st., in Lowell, is
also kept busy at all times under the
supervision of Mrs. McManmon, whose
genial nature and motherly ways do much
to draw and keep customers. The seed
department at the store has developed
into an important feature.

Morse & Beals, on Merrimack st., are
receiving splendidly grown Gladioli from
Patten & Co. of Tewksbury. Their
America cannot be beat, nor the Godfrey
Callas and Mrs. Patten Begonias. On
Mother's Day, the store did a record busi-
ness and expects to do the same on Me-
morial Day.

Tewksbury, Miass.

Louis Small is the largest grower of
yellow Marguerites near. Boston, if not in
the State. He has made a specialty of
this plant for years, and knows every
wrinkle there is in growing it to perfec-
tion. His whole range of six houses is
devoted to Marguerites, which are shipped
as far as New York, Albany, Buffalo,
Philadelphia and Chicago. The beds in
the houses look like sheets of solid gold.
The flowers are of a superior strain, large
with exceptionally long stems and fine
color and texture. There is not a sign of
the leaf borer to be seen anywhere and
has not been for years. Mr. Small finds
it easy to exterminate with repeated
sprayings with Nicoticide. After the
plants have done their duty, in the early
part of June, the beds are planted with
two rows of Tomatoes. In September the
new plants of Marguerites are set in front
of the Tomatoes and later on, when the
latter are ripening their fruit, the two
rows of Tomato plants are drawn toward
the middle of the bed, making room for
the Marguerites and, after finishing the
crop, are pulled up, giving all the room
to the other plants. In this way two
crops are secured through the season with-
out interference. The Marguerites take
lots of careful feeding. They are grown
on Sin. or 6in. in pots and are finally set
in the solid beds. Great care is taken
to propagate only from healthy and typi-
cal parent plants.

J. K. Chandler & Sons have a large
area of glass, and their products are all
sold in the Boston market. Sweet Peas,
Violets, Marguerites and Chrysanthemums
are the main crops. The houses are
400ft. long and 60ft. wide and the
large new propagating house is built
in the latest style, with steam pipes under
each bench. The benches all run across the
width of the house. A fine cement build-
ing houses the pumping plant, which fur-
nishes water from a pond a quarter of a
mile away. An installation for electric
light is also located in the building. Jerry
is a florist from 'way back, and has able
assistants in his two sons, Larkin and
Willy.

Roslindale, Mass.

The large range of greenhouses of A.
Leuthy & Co. has been a landmark for a
good many years. Here the growing of

Elants is carried on now as always. The
rm has, most of the time, specialized in
the growing of fine palms, ferns and deco-
rating plants, and its reputation in this
line has increased from year to year. A
general collection of bedding plants,
Cannas, Caladiums, etc., is also always
to be found in season. Then there are a
good many lots of less common plants,
such as Selaginellas, Farfugiums, Lyco-
podiums and some of the rarer palms.
Table ferns are raised from spores in
large quantities, flnding a ready sale at
all times.

Orchidvale, Beverly Farms, Mass.

The fame of Albert C. Burrage's orchid
collection has traveled the length and
breadth of the whole country and far
beyond. Only a connoisseur of orchids
can appreciate all that can be seen at the
greenhouses. There are 17 houses, all
built in the most modern style since four
years ago, and filled with such an abun-
dance of the most rare and most prized
varieties of orchids that only an expert
can appreciate the extent and importance
of the collection. Of many varieties the
only representatives can be found here,
and a small fortune is often represented
in some small and insignificant looking
specimen. We will not go into an enu-
meration of the manifold genera, families
or species to be seen; it would be too
much of a job for one day or one week.

What will interest the commercial
orchid grower, more than anything else,
is the new Odontoglossiun house, which
was built a year ago as an experimental
venture. The idea underlying the plan
was to find a means whereby Odontoglos-
simis can be grown under conditions of
atmosphere and moisture approaching, as
near as possible, those found in their
native habitat. The house built for this
purpose has its floor some 6ft. below
ground level, and the floor is kept
covered with fresh water at all times.
The grated path leads between two
side benches, which are also below the
ground level. The sides of the house are
about 3ft. and of glass. The roof is like
that of any greenhouse, but above it are
the two tiers of the shading arrangement.
It is this shading arrangement that dif-
fers from any heretofore noted. The first
layer consists of the regular roller slat
shade used on all orchid houses and is
raised about one foot above the glass. The
slats run up and down. Above this there
is another slat shade at a distance of
6in., with the slats running lengthwise of
the house and the slats somewhat closer
together than what they are in the lower
tier. This arrangement allows the light
to enter only in a series of small blocks
and very much diffused. These shades
are, of course, arranged so that any por-
tion or the whole of them can be moved.

On the top of the ridge, outside, is lo-
cated a pipe line which is perforated on
either side to provide for a stream of
water which runs over the glass outside
and is responsible for the inside tempera-
ture of the house being kept much cooler
than could be done in any other way.

That the experiment is a great success
is proven by the appearance of the plants.
Such growth and exuberant healthiness
as can be observed in the Odontoglossum
and Odontioda plants in this house is only
to be appreciated when actually seen. Here
is reproduced, probably as near as it ever
can be, the natural vigor, push and ap-
pearance of the plants growing wild on
the cool slopes of their mountain home.
One glance at the plants tells the story.
The flower stems and newly formed or
forming bulbs and leaves have the color,
substance and texture which the Odonto-
glossum grower always dreamed about but
never was able to secure. The experi-
ment will be carried on further, and some
other ideas may be embodied as they sug-
gest themselves. So far, the innovation
has proven itself a step in the right di-
rection and is sure to give a new impetus
to the growing of Odontoglossums and
some related species.

Douglas Eccleston, the able superin-
tendent of the estate, is well pleasea with
the outcome of the experiment. He is also
'deeply interested in the growing of or-
chids from seeds and has thousands of
hybrids coming along in all stages of
growth. A number of his own seedlings
have flowered for the first time and num-
bers of others are getting ready to do so
in a short while. Seed pods can be seen
ripening all over the place.

The establishment deserves a thorough
write up by an able writer, who has at his
disposal a large amount of knowledge,
time and paper.

of normal. Still there are sufficient, if
weather continues clear. It is doubtful if
there will be any for Memorial Day except
from storage.

Eoses continue in eood supply and
quality is up to average; the demand is
fair and little surplus left. Carnations
are growing smaller in size although
some of surprisingly good auality are still
to be had. There is a fair demand for
novelty stock, but the variety is limited.

Asparagus is in good supply with only
fair demand.

Flower Mart

The Annual Flower Mart held ' at
the base of Washineton Monument by
Womans' Civic League was to be held
on Thursday, May 12, but a heavy rain
beginning on that morning, it was deemed
advisable to postpone it until the hoodoo
day of the year, Friday, the 13th, and
glad to say, the day dawned as ideal as any
one could wish for.

Mt. Vernon Place was at the height
of its Spring beauty and the colors of
ladies' costumes and the gayly colored
awnings covering the booths coupled with
the brilliant colors of the flowering plants
and cut fiowers made an impression not
easily forgotten. Limited space prevents a
detailed description of the individual
booths on any one of which a description
column in length would not be amiss. I
will not attempt to describe anyone
but will attempt to enumerate the organi-
zations who were represented. The Ama-
teur Gardeners Club, The Hardy Garden
Club, Catonsville Garden Club. The Halten
Garden Club, all had stands very artis-
tically arranged with plants and cut flow-
ers and evergreens. Everywhere the eye
could reach there was a riot of color such
as is rarely found huddled together in
one location.

The Home Garden Committee of W. C.
L. were very active in the floral end of
this work and disposed of thousands of
bedding plants. This booth was in charge
of Mrs. Ellicot H. Worthington. with Miss
Beard as her assistant. One feature
strikingly displayed were the two ban-
ners about eight feet long and 30 inches
wide with the slogan of publicity.

Those of the Florists Club who as-
sisted these ladies in their public spirited
efforts to beautify the city were Henry J,
Betz, George A. Ebele, Robt. L. Graham,
Jr., Robert Johnston, H, Clay Primrose,
Jos. S. Merritt.

Robert Halliday

Am very pleased to report our
friend Robert Halliday is on the road to t
recovery but will be a short time before
he can get around as usual. He is still
confined to his home and a visit from bis
many friends is surely appreciated, as a
man as active as he has been rather palls
under the yoke of enforced confinement.

May 17. — Business continues to move
along at a normal pace since Mother's
Day. The weather has continued cloudy
and cool and no surplus of stock has been
in evidence. Peonies are coming in full
crop at present writing, and are the domi-
nant feature in the market. The demand
has been sufficient to absorb all offered
at good prices, but next week will find
them in full crop, althouch the late frosts
reduced the prospects to about one-third

Providence, R. L

May 16. — ^With little simshine, the
market does not seem to improve at all,
leaving us in rather a weak condition for
our supply of flowers.

The auction of the Thomas Curley place
on Harkness st. brought out a small crowd;
the place was given away for $9000, the
lucky buyer being Michael lanotti, one
of our progressive Italian fiorists.

Wednesday night. May 11, brought about
a killing frost, destroying most of the
outdoor crops and a large portion of the

rillo, $15,000; 0. H. Williams & Sons,
$1000.

The Colonial Flower Shoppe had the
wedding decorations for the Scoville-Shel-
don wedding of Pawtucket last week. Paul

caught.

T. O'Connor has been kept busy with

The Florists' Exchange

St Louis, Mo.

Tlie week utter ^Mother's Day found the
retuilei's out of uvci ythiu^;; even plants
were cleaned out. AlthouKli quite a few
of the retailers reported tluit there were
many kicks from their customers, the fact
remained that everything was in demand
and supply short. At time of writing.
May 14, Carnations have slightly in-
creased in supply and are quoted at 6c.,
while Koses are quoted from -te. to 25c.
Sweet Pens, owing to the recent damp
weather are more or less water soaked,
and real good stock is hard to find.
Peonies are coming in tight buds, and it
looks as if supply would be short for
Memorial Day.

News Notes

Reports from retailers in all parts
of the city show that Mother's Day Dusi-
ness was greater than Easter.

The regular monthly meeting of the St.
Louis Florists Club took place at the store-
rooms of the Wm. C. Smith Wholesale
Floral Co., Thursday afternoon, May 12,
about 30 members present. The next
meeting will be held at W. J. Pilcher's, at
Kirkwood.

Jules Bourdet spoke on forming an
allied trade association, and a general dis-
cussion w^as held on this subject.

B. M. Duggar, president of the Garden
Club of St. Louis, spoke on the annual
flower show to be held May 21 and 22, at
the floral display house in the Missouri
Botanical Garden. He urged the members
to support the show. It was suggested
that Ed. Grofshart of Belleville, 111., be
requested to serve as judge of the com-
mercial exhibits.

Application for membership from Ed.
Nrewmerich of Belleville, 111., accepted.

It was suggested that the local branch
of florists association now being worked
for be known as the Allied Association of
Eastern Missouri.

Trustees were instructed to find a loca-
tion and date of annual picnic in July.

Luther Armstrong, who was the first
secretary of the club, 35 years ago, ad-
dressed the members.

Quite a lengthy discussion was held in
regard to the advisability of holding a
Chrysanthemum and general flower show
in the Fall. Many argued in favor of
waiting until 1922, so as to give plenty of
time for preparations. This would also
give the growers time to prepare their
displays.

Geo. Kuehner, manager of the cut
flower department at H. G. Berning's, has
just received a nickname from all the re-
tailers who visit his busy house. They
call him Napoleon, and he certainly takes
after the general in getting his forces in
line to answer all arguments, especially
when the prices of Carnations almost
caused a riot, but this little Napoleon
weathered the storm and is dishing out
Carnations, Roses and Sweet Peas at
popular prices at time of writing.

The Market

_May 16. — During the several days
immediately following Mother's Day, so
close were the cuts for that exacting occa-
sion, very little stock reached this market,
and in consequence, prices were well sus-
tained. Toward the close of the week,
however, receipts were increased and the
much desired equilibrium between sup-
ply and demand was re-established. The
volume of trading for the week was very
satisfactory and will assist materially in
creating an anticipated heavy aggregate
of business for the present month.

A welcome addition to the numerous
items now afforded by the market
is the Peony, liberal consignments of
which are daily arriving from the Dr.
Knapp plantations at Evansville, Ind.
Shipments are made direct and the Peonies
arrive in excellent condition.

A few local Peonies of the extremely
early type have put in, their appearance,
but it will require a week or ten days of
bright, warm weather to mature the main
crop. As frosts are now prevailing at
night, with corresponding low tempera-
tures during the day, it is doubtful if any
of these flowers will be cut much before
the end of the month. While the buds are
well developed, they appear to be mak-
ing but scant progress. It all depends
upon the weather as to the extent of the
expected local cut for Memorial Day.

Receipts of Roses are liberal, the qual-
ity being very good. Carnations are de-'

dining in substance as the Beason ad-
vances. A few Gladioli are arriving and
are readily marketed. Kastev Lilies move
freely, as do Snupdragonw, Larkspurs, Cal-
endulas, Cornllowers and Sweet Peaa.

Memorial Day Prospects

l*erhap.s there were never before
offered tu lloiists bettor opportunities for
creating a bumper Memorial Day business
than those within reach this year. The
proper playing up of appropriate senti-
ment for the occasion through publicity
will most assuredly produce gratifying re-
sults. Memorial Day means a thousand
times more to the American public now
than formerly, and there is every reason
to expect the business of the florist to re-
ceive substantial impetus. Plenty of flow-
ers with an abundance of suitable accesso-
ries make heavy increases possible; it de-
pends entirely upon what preparation is
made for augmented business and upon the
strength of the appeal made to the buy-
ing public. Cooperative publicity, play-
ing up patriotism and subtly reviving the
memory of the loved and lost, should ac-
complish mofet,, because of the extent
of its scope as compared to individual ad-
vertising. Verily, opportunity is knock-
ing at our doors; let's avail ourselves of
its kindly offering.

Items of Interest

H. P. Knoble, general chairman of
the Flower Show Committee, has issued a
call for a meeting at the Hollenden, May
19. National Chairman George Asmus
and Secretary John Young will be pres-
ent. The details of the meeting will ap-
pear in the next issue of The Exchange.

Letters to creditors of the Smith &
Fetters Co., now in the hands of a re-
ceiver, place the assets of the concern at
approximately $10,000 as against liabili-
ties of $13,000. Business continues to be
transacted under direction of Receiver
George Bate, the object being the sale of
the business as a going concern.

It pains us to report the continued poor
health of Frank J. Ritzenthaler of
Knoble Brothers Co. The picture of glow-
ing health but a brief time ago, foremost
in all activities making for the welfare of
his profession, the young man has been
steadily declining since the first of the
year, and there are doubts entertained as
to his ultimate recovery. It is to be sin-
cerely hoped that he succeeds in triumph-
ing over his illness and be restored to
health again soon.

pionship flag at the Cleveland-Washington

Mother's Day Breaks All Records

Cooperative publicity used intelli-
gently and to a greater extent than ever
before was chiefly responsible for a
Mother's Day business that broke all pre-
vious records. This in the face of in-
dustrial depression when thousands of
men were out of work and money scarce.
Is any greater proof necessary that it
pays to advertise and that there is busi-
ness at all times for all who have the
nerve to spend some hard cash to go after
it?

As has been predicted, other lines are
beginning to wake up to the Mother's
Day opportunities, and the papers were
fudl of candy ads; jewelry, phonographs,
pianos, etc., were also advertised as suit-
able gifts. However, due to the splendid
cooperative advertising of the florists, the
day remained a flower day. The market
was in bad shape to fill the demands for
cut flowers, and these were priced higher
than is wholesome for this day, so rich in
sentiment. Fortunately, however, florists
were able to stock up with a fine display
of plants, and by directing the attention
of the public to these, the day looked like
Easter Saturday in the shops.

Rose plants. Daisies, Primroses, Hy-
drangeas, Pelargoniums, Pandanus, Be-
gonias, Pansies, Dracaenas, Ferns, Crotona.
and Lily of the Valley in wood fiber
jardinieres were offered the public, and
sold well. There is no doubt that the
Mother's Day demand for plants can easi-
ly be kept up to the supply; there is no
limit to the extent of the demand that
can be created by the right kind of pub-
licity.

CaruuliouH were scarcer than usual and
retailed here for $3 per duz., which did
nut even allow the retailer a legitimate
I)rotit. Vet a councilman here wants the
city to grow Carnations for next year to
liit what he styles us "the meanest kind of
profiteering on ihe part of local florists."
This is always an unpleasant feature of
Mother's Day, one that ought to be
threshed out before next year. Some flo-
rists got along nicely without Carnations
and even many Roses, selling lots of plants
instead. Sweet Peas were fairly plenti-
ful, and these were used for boutonnieres
along with Valley. Roses were scarce and
high priced. There was a noticeable in-
crease in the number of telegraph orders
received and sent out. This again is due
to the publicity this feature received.
The weather here was wonderful and
aided substantially in putting across a
gratifying day's business.

Gathered Here and There

Schramm Bros, advertised heavily
for Mother's Day, using large newspaper
space, folders in colors, banners, posters
and inserts and, as a result, broke all
records. They used Carnations only for
F. T. D. orders^ but stocked up heavily
with all kinds ot plants. These enjoyed a
wonderful demand. Specials of Valley
and Pansies in wood fiber jardinieres were
eagerly snapped up. Sweet Peas and Val-
ley were sold instead of Carnations for
buttonholes. Frank Schramm said he be-
lieved it better to get along without Car-
nations than to leave a bitter taste in
the mouth of the one who desires to honor
a mother. He believes prices on cut
flowers are too liigh for a day of such
rich sentiment.

Max Spanner had a great display of
plants and an unusual stock of Roses. He
reports a gratifying increase in business.

Metz & Bateman did a greatly increased
business for Mother's Day. They received
and sent out a fine bunch of telegraphic
orders.

Armine Suder believes in publicity, and
his advertising for this day brought splen-
did returns. His Cherry st. houses were
full of fine plants of which he readily
disposed.

Scottwood Greenhouse had a good look-
ing display of Hydrangeas. Some speci-
men plants retailed for as high as $30.

Will Krueger, grower, missed Mother's
Day by three days with his Rose crop, but
sent in large quantities of Sweet Peas and
many plants.

Cope & Krisher, Colburn st. florists, are
conducting a special sale on bedding
plants of all kinds.

Henry Klunder, formerly manager of
the Art Flower Shop, has returned from
Cincinnati and is raising all sorts of out-
door stock for the trade here on his East
Toledo farm.

The big Moose convention will be held
here in June, and one of the daily news-
papers is conducting a campaign to have
the people decorate their homes with
porch boxes, hanging baskets and flower
beds. This is great publicity for the flo-
rists and ought to be appreciated.

Trade Notes

May 12. — From all sides come the
reports that the business for the past few
weeks has been highly satisfactory, and at
no time was there more stock on the mar-
ket than could be used. The demand for
flowers, social and funeral has been fairly
well balanced so that the business has
been well divided through the entire day.

Mother's Day Surprise

If the Portland florists were ever
handed a surprise package. Mother's Day
1921 surely was the one. The long con-
tinued, cloudy weather, and consequent
poor showing made by the main flower in
demand, the Carnation, the absence of a
good stock of potted plants and the steady
demand before the holiday did not allow
the accumulation of and quantity of stock.
When Thursday arrived, there was con-
siderable scurrying around for stock and
when all was said and done, considerable
was accumulated. No one but the retailer,
however, knows how far this supply fell
short of taking care of the record break-
ing demand. This can readily be under-
stood when the increases were all the way
from 25 per cent up to 100 per cent. It
is useless to try and say what particular
flower sold best. Of course the Carnation
was the moatj sought after, but otherwise
it was a case of flowers. The retail shops
WM^ forced to clpse their doors and tack
^]p signs, "Sola' Out." Everything in

potted plants was disposed of and at good
prices. The prevailing price was $2 for
Carnations, although some held for $2.50,
and Home arc reported to have sold as
high as $5. One local paper gave the
florists space on the front page, stating
that the new kind of profiteer had been
tound, one that turned the sentiments of
Mother into shekels, jminting out that
when Carnations brought $1 per doz. a
week before Mother's Day and jumped to
$2, someone was getting the rake off.

This publicity is surely not desirable
but IS the inevitable outcome of cut price
buBinesH. Where one finds Carnations
cheapest at times, they will also be found
at the apex in other times. The writer
of the article in the paper was inter-
viewed by President Tonseth of the Ore-
gon Florists Club and was convinced that
he was m error. He was willing to re-
tract his statement, but it was thought
better to let the dead alone.

So completely were the greenhouses
stripped, that today, Thursday, is the first
day that the flower shops in the city
looked natural. The Carnation has been
especially short. The Snapdragon that so
well helped to save the day last Sunday,
IS helping much to make the stores look
presentable. As most stores were closed
Sunday for lack of flowers, the green-
houses about the country were overrun
with flower buyers.

A Tribute to Advertising

Let those who are always doubting
the value of the little money they are
spending on advertising cut out their
doubting Thomas methods and admit, as
?u °«^^^ -^ ^^ endeavor are crediting
the Say it with Flowers" movement,
that It IS the best timed and best paying
slogan that has ever been produced. Take
the jewelers, who spend $300,000 yearly
they can hardly scratch the surface, and
have no holiday outside of Christmas to
work on. They would gladly pay as much
for a slogan that has the message of our
own little slogan.

The Coming Rose Festival

The final outcome of the committee
meetings of the Oregon Florists Club with
the Rose Festival Board has resulted in
ifv'''^^%^^- ^^^^ePtance of the proposals
of E. T. Mische and James Forbes, the
committee for the club. The society,

Humphrey of Zanesville, Ohio
Gets 30 Leads To His Carnations

Of all the hundreds of en-
thusiastic Skinner System
users whom I have talked
with in the last year or two,
none can beat our good friend
Humphrey. You ought to
hear him tell about his out-
side grown greenhouse Car-
nations, if nothing else.

Says there was a time when
six leads was not so bad.
Then it was notched up until
i8 was considered about the
limit. And now, by heck, if
he doesn't get 30 leads, 30
good husky, vigor-filled leads.

After he lifts his Carna-
tions, if he doesn't go and get
a second crop off the same

land. A crop of Christmas
Cherries.

As for Cannas, he says, if
he told you "the way they lap
up the Skinner System water
and turn it into root clumps,
you'd say he sure was lieing."

Vincas get so ambitious, he
has to loop up the vines. If
it will do that for Humphrey
— have a notion it will do it
for you. Pays for itself, and
then starts in paying you.
Send for catalog — "Rain for
the Asking."

Give us the length and
width of the piece of ground
you want to irrigate, and we
will send you some interest-
ing facts.

Our product is a cement-like composition of Asbestos Fibres, and heavy, semi-drying hydro-carbon oils. Its
exceptionally long life is due to the fact that it never thoroughly hardens like old-fashioned white putty. The out-
side surface (which is exposed to the oxygen of the air) forms a resilient tough skin, below which the material
remains soft and plastic. Because of this we guarantee that the coldest weather will not cause it to become brittle
or pull away. On the other hand our product is warranted not to sag or run in extremely hot weather due to its
being interlaced with the Asbestos Fibres.

As Ajax Black Glazing Cement never thoroughly hardens, glass glazed with it can be shifted when desired
without the loss of breakage that so often results when hard drying white putties are used.

Lower Cost Than White Putty

Compared with the old-fashioned White Lead puttjea, Ajax Black Glazing Cement not only lasts years longer,
but is a great deal lower in initial cost. One gallon is sufficient to glaze 500 lineal feet of sash.

As my friend Walter Mott saya, Jupiter
Pluvius and the thermometer a little low
for the season have between them reduced
the supply of cut flowers about 50 per
cent, and as trade refuses to fall off 50
per cent, it is a case of hustle to supply
the buyers' demands.

Mrs. Geo. Grolbach, Walter Hammond,
the Rosary, Eudolph Nagle and H. A.
Schroyer all report business as a little
better than usual, and stock very hard to
get. Fred Eouf, Frank Suter and A. H.
Wissler, growers who retail direct from
the greenhouses, instead of having a sur-
plus to sell, find that it keeps them busy
to have enough stock for their own trade.

Thomas Fries and John R,. Shreiner. the
principal men of our market {although
others can be counted almost by the hun-
dred), report sales of plants as opening
up very promisingly. They are both ar-
tists in securing the greatest output from
a certain area of glass, and sometimes one
could imagine that a Cabbage plant, a
Tomato plant, a Salvia and a Zinnia all
were grown on the same spot, and ten to
one they were all on the same spot at one
time of their life. Of course, this con-
stant handling of stock means manual
labor, but results are achieved, and if
either of these gentlemen were to make
an accurate report on what money they
make per square foot of ground surface,
it would make some of the rest of us turn
green with envy.

B. F. Barr combines plants, seeds and
nursery stock, and sells at the nursery,
the greenhouses and city store, and at
this season of the year on the markets,
with a local output that runs into high
figures. In addition to this, Mr. Barr is
a heavy advertiser and is so well pleased
with results that he no longer talks of
advertising in terms of thousands of dol-
lars, but in tens of thousands, and is firm-
ly convinced that advertising is the key
to the wealth of the world.

Speaking of advertising, Mrs. Francis
E. Clark, director of the Educational De-
partment of the Victrola Co., will address
our Advertisers Club; the Quota Club
(ladies) and the Business Club of the
Young Women^s Christian Association
are invited to the meeting.

The growers are hustling to have flow-
ers for Memorial Day, as the prospects
for outdoor stock are very poor. The
Peonies may possibly reach half a crop,
and with the wrong weather will be either
a week too early or a week too late.

Chas. M. Weaver will run his Sweet
Peas into Memorial Day trade, and will
have some indoor Gladioli, the quantity
depending entirely on the weather. Skill
and the best growing conditions will not
overcome unfavorable weather, and in
spite of all the improved greenhouse ap-
pliances and the modern way of building
and heating, the growing end of the busi-
ness jp somewhat of a game of chance.

Sewickley (Pa.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of the
Sewickley Horticultural Society was held
in the public schoolroom, on Tuesday
evening, May 10, with a record atten-
dance, which goes to prove that with the
season of actual gardening operations at
hand, the members are really interested
and that the society is serving a useful
purpose in the commimity. Many ques-
tions were asked by amateur members
concerning the cultivation of Dahlias,
which augurs well for the forthcoming
Dahlia show, which, it is planned, will be
the largest and most comprehensive ever
attempted in Sewickley. It should place
Western Pemisylvania on the map as a
Dahlia growing section.

Exhibits both for the monthly competi-
tion and for exhibition only were more
numerous than for some time past, par-
ticularly in the amateur classes; this was
the first of the monthly competitions to
be conducted for amateur growers during
the Summer months.

President Carman appointed Messrs.
Bonsey, Barnet and Catro the judges for
the evening, and their awards were as fol-
lows: Manus Curran first for 12 Tulips;
John Carman second, and Roderick Ross
third.

Geo. F. Shaw first for 25 Panaies; John
Carman and Wm. Thomson, Jr., second
and third respectively.

For 12 Asparagus pips the points went
to Henry GiDson, Manus Curran and Geo.
F. Shaw respectively.

A vote of superior merit was accorded
a vase of Tulips eshibited by Manus
Curran.

Miss Christy carried off the monthly
prize in the amateur class for 12 Pansies,
the trophy being a pair of small nickel
plated secateurs, donated by Becket's Seed
Store of Pittsburgh, Pa.

At the request of the members of the
Allegheny County Garden Club it was de-
cided to set back the date of the Dahlia
show from Sept. 29 and 30, to Oct. 6 and 7,
so that the members of the club would be
better able to attend. Heney Gibson,
Assistant Secretary.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Market

Monday, May 9, found this market
with very few flowers and a demand that
could not be taken care of, with prices
almost equal to Mother's Day prevailing.
By Wednesday the supply was more equal
to the demand and prices had eased up
somewhat, while Friday and Saturday
stock of all kinds waa plentiful, and price
concessions had to be made in order to
move it. This just goes to show the dif-
ferent conditions that can exist in one
week. Business has been good, in fact,
better than usual for this season of the
year, and from all indications. May will
show a much greater volume than the
same month last year.

American Beauty Roses have been in
heavy supply with a light demand. The
supply of Roses has been heavy and of
excellent quality. It is remarkable the
large numbers that were moved the last
three daya of the week.

The supply of Carnations is equal to
the demand, but some of them are soft
and unfit for sale. Those varieties having
the call are Laddie, Ward and Matchless.

Easter and Calla Lilies are in moderate
supply and clean up daily at good prices.
The supply of Snapdragon is not nearly
equal to the demand.

The first Peonies of the season arrived
last week, and while not of the best, they
cleaned up on arrival.

Outdoor Valley is in competition with
indoor stock and has pulled the price
down somewhat. Some fine outdoor Nar-
cissus poeticus is also on the market.

Sweet Peas are of better quality than
they have been for some time, and meet
with ready sale.

Other seasonable flowers include Iris,
Gypsophila, Calendula and Larkspur, all
of which move readily.

The supply of greens and ferns is equal
to the demand.

Odd Notes '

E. J. McCallum, of the McCallum
Co., was among those who left on the an-
nual trade tour of the Pittsburgh Cham-
ber of Commerce last Monday. The party
left in a special train and were to be gone
one week, taking in towns in South East-
ern Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia

The A. W. Smith Flower Stores Co. is
featuring everything for the porch, in-
cluding Willow furniture, plants and fancy
pottery. .

The E. A. Williams Co., Inc., haa had
a beautiful window display of French Hy-
drangeas and baskets of Gladioli and
Irises. E. C. Tipton.

Florist's Thread

The John C. Meyer Thread Co. of Low-
ell, Mass., were the first to introduce to-
growers and florists throughout the world
green florist's thread. It is claimed that
the Meyer Green Florist's Thread is the
largest and strongest made and will go
twice as far as the ordinary thread on
the market. It is not only the quality of
the thread which bears a good reputation,
but the color is excellent, lending itself
so well to the florist's use.

Worcester, Mass.

The first of the Saturday dollar sales
sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce
resulted in an extra good Saturday busi-
ness. Most of the florists featured hoses
and baskets of cut flowers and blooming
foliage plants. A hurried trip to some of
the growers has given me the impression
that though every one seems well stocked,
the supply for Memorial Day will be short.
Trade in general has kept up well but
in a humdrum way with no special fea-
tures. WOECO.

GOLDEN YELLOW
SWEET PEAS

"For two seasons, at our retail Flower Store, we have
handled Sweet Peas dyed with "McCLENAHAN'S
YELLOW FLOWER DYE." They are never streaked,
but evenly dyed as though natural; are good sellers,
and last as well as undyed Sweet Peas."
THE BARTELDES SEED CO., Oklakoma City, Okla.

McCLENAHAN'S YELLOW FLOWER DYE will quickly
and uniformly dye white, light pink and rose pink Sweet Peas
to golden yellow, apricot and burnt orange, respectively. For
two years I have supplied dyed Sweet Peas to the Oklahoma
City Market and they are now more popular than ever. Sweet
Peas take the dye perfectly. It never streaks but evenly diffuses
through the petals so the veins are not distinguishable. The
natural appearance of the dyed flower is so true that the treat-
ment is hardly perceptible.

White Carnations take the dye to a medium yellow, some-
times leaving the central tuft partly uncolored but always
producing a most charming effect. (Not good on rose-pink
Carnations). Roses, too, seem to take the dye as readily as
Sweet Peas. Cecil Brunners quickly take on a beautiful orange.

The dye keeps indefinitely in dry form, dissolves instantly
and one solution will last from one to two weeks.

Price, sufficient for one quairt, $1.00, prepaid

Six for $S.OO.

Toronto Retail Florists Clnb

The regular meeting Tvas held on
llay 9, with S. A. McFaddenj president,
in the chair.

G. M. Geraghty, chairman of the Pub-
licity Committee, reported that the adver-
tising for Mother's Day had been very
effective. He displayed advertising done
by the local committee and the full page
advertising done by the Hamilton. Asso-
ciation to show that the florists were do-

ing things in a big way. He also stated
that as a result of the cooperation of the
Canadian National Telegraph, nearly
every florist in Toronto had obtained tele-
graph orders. The committee was con-
gratulated on the success of its work.

George Baldwin gave an excellent il-
lustrated lecture on gardens. It was much
appreciated and brought forth a hearty
vote of thanks.

It was decided to hold the annual pic-
nic at Long Branch. This will be a
basket picnic. The usual games will be
held and the annual tug of war between
the growers and the retailers. This will
be the final pull for the cup, each side
having won it twice.
Mother's Day Trade

Satisfaction was expressed at the
^-olume of Mother's Day business, but
tlie hope was expressed that the growers
would provide for it better next year.

The business for Mother's Day com-
pared favorably with Easter this year,
although there was .a shortage of flowers.
Carnations sold mostly at §3 per doz., the
florists feeling that the price should not
be advanced for this occasion when every
child desired to have one for Sunday.

J. A. Neal was sold out. Although busi-
ness was very good he did not advance the
prices.

Tidy & Son reported the -business for
Saturday, May 7, to be the best this year,
while Peoples Florists found it better
than Easter.

Aberdeen Florist, on account of the
shortage of flowers, took no orders in ad-
vance. One lady brought in one of the
F. T. D. folders, picked out a bunch of
Sweet Peas and asked them to send the
flowers by fiower-gram to Chicago.
Jottings

The Misses Meams will close their
store for a half holiday weekly in June,
July and August, and Dunlop's, Ltd., will
close Saturday afternoons during the
Slimmer. Mr. Geraghty thought the re-
tailers should get in touch with the grow-
ers to see if something could be done
regarding stock for Mother's Day. They

The Market

May 17. — The three pronounced
features of the wholesale cut flower mar-
ket this week are the large increases in
the arrivals of most items of stock, the
dearth of buvers and the sharp decline in
the prices of Koses. Carnations and Sweet
Peas.

American Beauty Roses are in large
supply, with slow demand; special grade
blooms are selling at 15c. to 40c. each;
other grades at proportionate prices. A
rather large supply of other kinds of
Roses is meeting with a decidedly limited
demand. Top grade blooms are selling
at 3c. to 12c. each in general, but Had-
ley is realizing 30c., Premier 20c., Cru-
sader 25c. and Key 50c. So. 2 grade blooms
are bringing $1 to $4 per 100.

Cai-nations are in abundant supply and
are moving slowly at prices ranging from
S4 to 6 per 100 for select srade and §2
to ?3 for culls to ordinaries.

C'attleyas are in moderate supply, quite
sufficient to meet the demand; prices
range from 35c. to 75c. each and in the
cases of choice blooms of the variety gigas,
81. Gardenias are practically out of the
market. The arrivals of Lily of the Val-
ley are entirely suiEcient to meet the lim-
ited demand, prices ranging from $1 to §5,
and occasionally §6 per 100. Lilies are in
rather short supply and are bringing about
$25 per 100.

Of other bulbous and miscellaneous flow-
ers there is a moderate supply of Antirrhi-
num, Bouvardia, including the white va-
rieties Humboldtii; rather smaller supply
of Callas; a few Calendulas; an abund-
ance of yellow Daisies; considerable Del-
phinium of excellent quality; a limited
supply of handsome Gladioli; Spanish Iris,
much of which is from the South; con-
siderable Lilac; a moderate supply of
Stocks; plenty of Sweet Peas of fine
quality, and what appears to be about the
last of the Darwin Tulips.

As regards greens. Smilax continues to
be in rather short supply and of all oth-
ers, both indoor grown and hardy greens,
there appears to be no shortage. All these
miscellaneous and bulbous flowers and
greens are moving out slowly at quoted
prices.

General Ne'vrs

On Saturday, May 7, the annual
meeting was held of the stockholders of
the Cut F-lower Exchange. Following the
transaction of routine business, the fol-
lowing directors whose terms of oflice had
expired were re-elected: P. Haas, G.
Sehrader, J. McMullen and V. Dorval.

Secretary John Young left the city on
Tuesday of this week for Cleveland, 0.,
to attend a meeting of the local executive
committee of the National Flower Show

to be held in that citv on March 25, 1922.
We noted this week at Phil. F. Kessler's,
55-57 W. 26th St., the first Bouvardia
Humboldtii of the season. Mr. Kessler
says that the Jack Roses, of which, by
the way, he is the largest receiver in
New York City, are being held back some-
what by the cool weather, but he expects a
large crop of the blooms of these Roses
in June, and for Memorial Day an almost
unlimited supply of Lilies. The cool
weather, Mr. Kessler says, is helping much
in keeping up the quality of Carnation
blooms.

Peonies, as we have remarked before,
are coming in late this year and the
crop will be comparatively small on ac-
count of the damages by the after Easter
frosts previously noted. The iirst con-
siderable arrival from the Chester Co.,
Pa., Peony growing section we noted, this
week at W. P. Ford's.

The World War and its aftermath has
brought many relatively new customs and
articles of trade into the world. In the
latter line is a wire design which we
saw recently at the Henshaw Floral Co.
in its Supply Department. This design
was gotten up on the model of the Ameri-
can Legion button in response to a con-
stant call for an appropriate design for
American Legion funerals. In other
words this design was brought out to fill
a real want and it promises to be very
satisfactory.

Matthew Sampson of Noe & Sampson,
speaks quite admiringly and enthusias-
tically of the greenhouse which Fred New-
man, formerly of Newman & Legg, Manas-
quam, N. J., has taken over on the St.
Leonard Farms, in Newtown, Pa. This
greenhouse is 1000ft. long and 85ft. wide.
Mr. Newman will use this house for the
growing of Carnations and novelties which
will be shipped to Noe & Sampson.

At the reception of Mme. Curie on her
arrival in this country on May 12 with
her daughters, she was presented with
more than a dozen floral tributes before
she entered the automobile which had
been sent to the pier for her and her
daughters by Mrs. Andrew Carnegie.

J. J. Lane, now connected with the
Horticultural Dept. of House and Gar-
den and other Conde Nast publications,
returned to duty this week after a ten-
day hospital stay due to infection of his
right leg.

I Outing and Ball Game

On Sunday, May 15, the employees

' of Le Moult's Flower Market, at 51 W.
28th St., had their annual Spring outmg

I at West Hempstead, L. I. Along with

I them went the ball team from the 18th st.
Wholesale Flower Market. The baseball
game, according to all reports, was a very

j exciting affair. The Le Moults called the
18th St. market team "The Market Car-

I nations" and the flower market team

I named the 28th st. team "Le Moult's Rose
Buds." Asking for an explanation of these
names we were told that the one team

was called the "Market Carnations" be- i
cause of their sleepy playing by wbicli ;
they lost the game and the other was |
called "Rose Buds" because of their re- i
semblance to such Roses as are worked '
into funeral pieces. Earl Riedel, son of !
H. C. Riedel, an emolovee of Le Moult, '
covered himself with honors by making ;
a home run and was given a day off on
this account by Mr. Le Moult. A. Le .
Moult played first and made a record of i
three two-base hits. There were several
pitchers. Charles Foreman of the supply
department of the Henshaw Floral Co.
pitched one inning with great danger to
the batters and then retired. Geo. Hilden-
Brand of John Young & Co. was knocked
out of the bos on a record of nine runs
for the other team and has decided here-
after to concentrate his enercies on sell-
ing Gardenias and Roses. Frank Sheean,
salesman of the Henshaw Floral Co., was
imipire and in the dodging of balls and
making close decisions is reported to have
lost 25 lbs. avoirdupois. J. S. Fenrich
kept the score which was as follows: Le
Moult "Rose Buds" — 23, "Market Carna-
tions"— 20. Some game that, and some
score, but what's the use of a baseball
game without runs and fun After the
game was over, a supper was served at
the home of John J. Schmidt, A. Le
Moult's manager, of West Hempstead,
L. I. On ^londay it was noted by keen
observers that most members of the two
teams were carrying a bottle of Sloan's
Liniment in their Dockets.

Anotlier Reception

It would appear that the street in
which the Underbill Building is located,
and which houses The Florists' Ex-
change, is fast becoming a social center.
See retail columns.

An apology is due the members of the
Flower Show Committee from the Horti-
cultural Society of New York in that in
our account of the dinner at the Hotel
Biltmore, Saturday evening, May 7, our
heading, through an inadvertence, implied
the dinner as being given solely by the
N. Y. F. C. Flower Show Committee,
whereas it should have included the joint
committee from both associations.

Among the visitors at the admistration
headquarters at the S. A. F. this week
were Thomas Roland, Nahant, Mass. ;
Ore Gnatt of La Porte. Ind.. and Wallace
H. Eiss.

Montreal, Qae.

Mrs. C. J. Hill, the widow of the late
C. J, Hill, has recently registered and
will now trade as C. J. Hill, Regd. It is
to be hoped that the Royal Warrant
granted to her late husband will not be
cancelled. This was given in recognition
of services rendered to His Royal High-
ness, the Prince of Wales, during his Ca-
nadian tour.

Verdun, not the French Verdun, but on
the Island of Montreal, was in fete dur-
ing Mother's Day celebrations. Andrew ,
Sino, the American florist, conceived a <,
novel idea and he is very enterprising; be
engaged a real airplane to deliver his
flowers to his prospective customers. He
also did the delivering himself, making a
flight to the aerodrome at St. Laurent.
During the flight, the airplane went about
3500 feet high. The mayor and maroyess-
Leclair congratulated the organizer tor
having established this innovation for
Mother's Day celebrations.

The Montreal Floral Exchange, Ltd., baa
just completed its annual stock taking. The
amount of florists supplies this firm car-
ries has increased considerably during the
past year. A short visit was made by
its vice-president, S. Rebman, who, with-
]Mrs. Rebman, motored over from Dan-
ville, Pa., in their car.

With the new Allen Theatres opening,
J. K. Bellon, the wire work artist, was
kept busy, several special designs being
wanted. The film corporations sent most
of the floral pieces, the decorated horse-
shoe being the favorite; they say it stands
for good luck. ..

The florists generally have been kept

busy ; stock is more plentiful, which

means prices are lower. "Say it with-

Flowers" is a slogan not easily forgotten..

The Market

May 17.— There ivas a week of
quiet business following the Mother's Day-
demand, all of which was not unexpected.
This gave stock an opportunity to im-
prove in point of supdIv until toward the
middle of the week the market was on
an easy basis again. There was plenty
of everything at prices much reduced from
the previous week. All orders were filled
completely and promptly, the dealers only
wishing there was more. The present week
opened with but moderate activity; stock
is even more plentiful, and while the de-
mand is not bad for an off period like
the present, it could be much better. The
local demand is to a large extent for
funeral work. The funeral of Anthony
D'Andrea, a local politician who was shot
resulting from a political feud, called for
an enoimous amount of work, twelve auto
loads were counted in the nrocession.

Koses are again in full supply, and all
varieties grown for this market are repre-
sented on the tables of the wholesalers.
The stock is of good quality, Russell, Pre-
mier and Columbia continue favorites with
the more recent Mme. Butterfly coming
well to the front for its share in public
favor. Short stock is selling at from $3
a 100 up to $25 for fancy grades.

The Carnation supply is again equal to
all demands; it has come down from the
pinnacle of high prices where Mother's
Day demand had thrust it, and again taken
its place with other stock in the bargain
offerings of the market. It is stated that
the season's crop is fast approaching its
end; the supply will be very light for Me-
morial Daj' trade.

The most important item of stock at
present is the Peony. There was disap-
pointment at the meagre supply for Moth-
er's Day trade, and since then, the supply
has improved but little. Unseasonable
cold weather is holding the crops back;
in fact, a light frost in the Chicago dis-
trict Sunday night, is reported to have
caused considerable damage to local crops.
It now develops that earlier frosts have
damaged crops further South so that it
is estimated that the present crop will
not be more than 60 per cent of last
year. Some contend it will not be aa
much as that, but all agree that it will
be a bad year for Peony growers, and
the prospects for a large supply for Me-
morial Day is not encouraging.

Gladioli are fast becoming a feature,
outdoor stock from the Southern States and
is coming in freely. Then there is some good
greenhouse grown stock from nearby
growers. Some good Snapdragons to be
had. The Sweet Pea crop from green-
houses is gradually coming to an end.
There are still a few Darwin Tulips as
well as some Narcissus poeticus from down.
State growers, and enough of orchids and
Valley for all demand. Larkspur is seen
at most of the stores and is grown more
extensively this season than ever before,
as it wag in much favor for Summer sales
a year ago. Cape Jasmines are arriving
from Texas and other Southern States.

News Gatherings

The wholesale dealers continue to
collect the one per cent on all sales as
agreed at a recent meeting of this associa-
tion to be used for publicity work. This
is collected whether the buyers belong to
the Allied Association or not. This does
not apply to shipping orders aa it is
figured this would be an injustice to
charge customers in other cities a percent-
age for advertising here for the benefit of
local retailers.

Through the omission of one little word
I in a news note last week reearding the use
of the red Poppy on Memorial Day your
correspondent was made to say "The prac-
ticability of the use of the Poppy as a
Memorial Day flower has, however, met
with the approval of the florists of this
country, who will, in the ordinary run
of matters, be looked on to supply these
flowers." The omission, of the word "not"
gave an entirely different impression. The
florists of the country Jiave not approved
of this selection. At the present time
there is a widespread inquiry for red
Poppies, that are not forthcoming in nat-
ural flowers. At the same time, the sup-
ply houses, manufacturers and importers

of artificial stock in these are enjoying a
good business.

Chas. Loveridge of Peoria was in the
city Monday and reported a splendid
Jlother's Day trade. He is buying for
Memorial Day business which promises
well in his city and visited the green-
houses of the Poehlmann Bros. Co. at
ilorton Grove, Monday afternoon.

E. C. Pruner. well known traveling man,
is in the city from a satisfactory trip
through the Southwest. He will remain
here until after Memorial Day.

Henry Whermann, well known Sweet
Pea grower at Maywood, is just out of the
hospital where he underwent an opera-
tion for appendicitis.

The Albert F. Amling Co., Maywood,
has registered its new Rose, Silver Wed-
ding, with the American Rose Society. It
is a cream colored sport of Ophelia and a
decided novelty.

Fred Lautenschlager, the genial secre-
tary of the Chicago Florists Club, has
been given much notoriety the past ten
days on account of the euphony of his
name. In "The Gumps." in the Daily
Trihmie a short time ago, Min told Andy
a friend of hers, who had a name like
one who came over in the Mayflower,
was going to marry a man named Lauten-
schager, much to her surprise. While the
name was not exactly that of the secre-
tary, it was so near that numerous friends
all over the country cut the piece from the
papers and mailed them to him so gen-
erously that there was a large accmnu-
lation of the cartoons on his desk for a
few mornings after publication. Mr.
Lautenschlager reports frequent sales of
boilers and will be represented at the
S. A. F. convention at Washington, D. C,
August next, in the trades exhibit.

Henry Wittbold & Son opened a ne^^
cut flower store, 75 E. Adams st. The open-
ing was aranged for Mother's Day trade
and with attractive advertising and rea-
sonable prices the new store had a splen-
did start.

Vaughan's Seed Store reports the plant-
ing of Gladioli well under way on the
farms in Michigan and at Homewood, 111.
Much of the early planted stock is show-
ing in the rows.

During the past few weeks, one or more
new cut flower stores have opened for
public patronage in various sections of
the city, weekly. The new Wrigley build-
ing, built by "a chew a day." opened re-
cently on N. Michigan ave., has sold space
to W. T. Willis, who will open there in
an uptodate flower shop.

Weiland-Risch Co. had an ad in one
of the local dailies the past week for
a delivery boy. Inside of one hour after
the paper was in circulation there was
over 50 applicants at the store. During
the remainder of the day they came singly,
in pairs and triplets until John Risch had
lost count. He commented on the number
of unemployed young men in the city, and
the reasonable wages for which they "were
willing to work.

A. Lange reports his Mother's Day
trade about 35 per cent better than a
year ago. An increase in demand for
plants was noted, everything in the plant
line cleaning up. He reports good busi-
ness in wedding orders; several good
decorations and all that goes to make the
bridal party complete in flowers are
booked for the immediate future.

Sam Seligman, who recently took_ into
partnership in his florist supply business,
Irving Stein, has bought out his interest.
Mr. Stein will return to Chicago and con-
tinue in the business on his own account.
A Setterberg, formerly with the Bver-
ette R. Peacock Co., who resigned_ from
that company some time ago to join the
Hilmer V. Swenson Co. in the florists'
publicity work, has severed his connection
with the latter company and again joined
the ranks of the E. R. Peacock Co. sales
forces.

M. C. Gunterberg reports a lively de-
mand for bench grown Roses as well as
for young plants, the comparatively new
Mme. Butterfly being in strong demand.
The fact that large Chicago growers are
planting it extensively in place of Ophelia,
is causing an increased demand for it all
over the country.

T. E. Waters, representing the Chicago
Florists Club, attended the annual dance
given by the Milwaukee Florists Club in
that city on Thursday evening, May 12.
Mr. Waters reports a royal time, meeting
many visitors from Racine. Kenosha and
other surrounding towns. W. J. Kennedy
was master of ceremonies and inaugurated

the "Say it with Flowers" dance when
100 couples join hands in circular forma-
tion and change partners alternately. To
Mr. Waters the "Snake march" was an
agreeable feature of the evening. This
was formed by following the leader in
single file to the banquet and refreshment
rooms where many good things were pro-
vided for the visitors. Al Bamngarten,
W. H. Hare, C. C. PoUworth and wife,
and H. H. Holton were indefatigable in
providing a good time for all.

Fruit growers of the United States,
Canada and several overseas countries will
hold the first international fruit exhibi-
tion ever attempted in Chicago next Oc-
tober. Plans were announced Saturday
by representatives of 27 states. More
than 100,000 fruit men in the United
States are back of the show. A large ex-
hibition is promised from Europe and
other foreign countries. The fruit pro-
ducers have chosen Samuel Adams, editor
of the American Fruit Gi'ower, to head
the movement. Glenn G. Hayes is sec-
retary of the exposition. The proposed ex-
position will be held either at the Stock
Yards Ampitheatre or the Coliseum, wher-
ever the best arrangements can be made.

Chas. Erne of Erne & Co. is in receipt
of a handsome memorial volume of the
late John J. Heinl of Terre Haute, Ind.
It contains a record of his entire life's
work in the florist's industry as well as
his activities in the civic and social life
of the city in which he lived. It con-
tains many press extracts all attesting to
the high esteem he was held in his com-
munity. This volimie is highly appre-
ciated by Mr. Erne, who was for several
years associated with him in business,
which terminated in 1890 when he came
to Chicago.

J. F. Ammann left Sat., May 7, for a trip
to the Coast on an organizing tour for
the growers and the S. A. F. Mrs. Am-
mann accompanies him on this trip. Hil-
mer V. Swenson of the Florists Pub-
licity Bureau has also gone to the Coast
and will join Mr. Antmann. They are
sclieduled for twelve stops at important
points between Chicago and the Coast.

The Market

May 17. — ^No "specks" are needed to
see that the market has gone "flooey"
since the last report. Ever since a week
ago, things have combined to make the
florist's life more of a burden than what
it generally is. First the everlasting
drizzle and downpour, then the unexpect-
ed drop in the temperature and now the
bright sim, which promises to rush the
buds to maturity by the million and
thereby put the whole "rig-a-ma-jig on the
bum." No mistake about it, the market
has been getting worse and "worserer,"
without any hope for a better situation
until Memorial Day. Retail and shipping
trade is not what it might be, so that,
as a result, stock is piling up with an
increased supply. Memorial Day is ex-
pected to bring relief. Let us hope it
does.

But, thinking of Memorial Day, one
cannot help but think of the thousands
and thousands of artificial wreaths,
sprays and other contraptions which are
offered for sale in every florist, depart-
ment, grocery and other store, and even
in barber shops. It's awful, Mabel. What
is this world coming to? This year may
work a change insofar that this business
in tin and wax flowers is overdone and
the public may get an overdose of it.
This artificial stun may be good business
as far as money transactions are con-
cerned, but even this is beginning to be
doubtful since cut-price methods are being
introduced more and more. To bring for-
ward the point of sentimentality in its
true form is a thankless job these days,
for tastes seem to differ and the dead in
their graves are not allowfd to put up
a protest. Wonder what they would say?

Roses of all kinds are of excellent quality;
the demand is probably not much below
normal, but the supply is becoming un-
wieldly and prices have not much to do
with sales at present. From two cents up
and so foi'th. Get the point?

Carnations have fallen from the profi-
teers class into a state of comma. Nothing
doing in Carnations; 2c., with oc. the
limit. Oh, what a change. White Carna-
tions are poor property just now.

JUST before MEMORIAL DAY is a GOOD TIME

To tell a little about our business, our ambitions and how these have led to our success.

It is really the story of every successful business that has set out to make good and did it.
When we started in business, a few years ago, we had in mind only one thing.

THIS WAS TO PLEASE OUR CUSTOMERS

We knew well enough this would bring about the rest.

We tried hard to look at business from the retailer's standpoint, picturing to ourselves how we should wish to
be treated by the wholesaler if we should be buying his goods. After we had this thing down fine the rest was easy.
The way it looks to us now

WE DID RIGHT

for from the very beginning our business has prospered and it is prospering ever more. We knew that we should
want the best and freshest flowers at the most reasonable price and have them delivered in the best condition at
the right time.

THESE THINGS WE DID FOR OUR CUSTOMERS, AND WE ARE DOING THEM NOW, BETTER THAN EVER

We are the sole distributors of the whole output of the largest and best growers of CARNATIONS, ORCHIDS,
ROSES in New England. All other flowers, such as LILIES, MIGNONETTE, SWEET PEAS. DAISIES, CAL-
ENDULAS, GARDENIAS, SNAPS, VALLEYS, etc., are consigned to us by other crack growers. Flowers never
grow stale in our- place, they don't stay there long enough for that.

Greens of all kinds, supplies, artificial flowers or anything a retail florist may need, always on hand.

{Continued from page 1222)
White Lilies and small flowered Gladi-
oli are not wanted at any price although
the supply is very limited. Antirrhinums
are going back in quality and also in
quantity. Callas still bring up to $2.50
and find a normal sale. Large flowered
Gladioli ha\"e come in larger lots, the de-
mand is nothing to brag of and $2.50 per
doz. is bard to realize. One grower is
supplying the retail stores directly and
also the market with Belladonna Del-
phinium. The spikes are of enormous size
and the variety of shades most wonderful.
They bring him $5 per doz. and sell like
hot cakes. Batchelor Buttons are rather
hard to find this season; they are wanted
and bring up to 6c.

Yellow Marguerites are always in de-
mand, but at present there are too many;
the best realize -ic. Mignonette, Calen-
dula, Candytuft, Daisies and Primroses
sell as usual. Sweet Peas have reached
a point where all cannot be disposed of.
The quality has greatly improved during
the late cold spell, so that long stems with
four or more flowers are the regular thing.
The price, of course, is low, 3c. for the
very best. In Tulips we are offered some
very choice blooms of handsome Darwin
varieties, but the flowers do not seem to
be in favor. Pansies are now too common
in the gardens to be attractive at any-
thing but a very low price.

Cattleyas have been called for to some
extent, bringing from 75c. to $1. Lily of
the Valley has severely suffered outdoors
from the frost, and the indoor flowers are
again appreciated. Gypsophila elegans is
now plentiful, finding a ready sale at 50c.
to 75c. per bunch. Greens of all descrip-
tions are in good supply at normal figures.

News Notes

C. Henry B. Brackett, who has been
the retail manager in the store of Joseph
Breck & Sons, has given up his position
and is now engaged in farming operations.
Petrus J. Van Baarda will succeed Mr.
Brackett. Harold E. Leary is to cover Mr.
Van Baarda's territory for Joseph Breck
& Sons and they believe his pleasant per-
sonality and intimate knowledge of the
business will insure his favorable recep-
tion by their friends and customers.

Force of habit is probably responsible
for the sign seen in one of Boston's most
prominent department stores and which
reads : "Spring Sales of Memorial
Wreaths."

The heavy frosts of May 11 and 12,
which spread over a considerable area of
New England, have done an immense
amount of damage to all the early planted
crops. The thermometer went down to
20 degrees in many sections and plants
in frames, which were left with glass cov-
ering only, were frozen stiff. The same
thing happened in many greenhouses
where the ventilators had not been closed.
The soil in the fields froze to the depth
of one inch in many localities.

The Postal Telegraph-Cable Co., Inc.,
has ready for use and is distributing
blank forms, especially printed for flo-
rists' use. The blanks are headed with
the caption "Say it with Flowers — by
Wire," and are fully and explicitly ar-
ranged for sending a wire order in all
its details, making it easy for the florist
to dispatch a telegraph order. Blanks are
furnished by all of the company's offices
on demand.

The regular monthly meeting and din-
ner of the Florists Association of Boston

has been postponed until the month of
June on account of unforeseen circimi-
stances.

We are pleased to announce the return
to his post of our respected friend, Joe
Margolis of H. M. Pobinson & Co. Mr.
I Margolis has fully recovered from his late
! illness and is able again to devote his
energy to the many duties of his respon-
sible position. The store of H. M. Kob-
inson & Co. reports an unprecedented
amount of business for Mother's Day, but
it can also be proud of the fact that it
was in a position to fill every order up
to the last minute.

Preparations for Memorial Day are
about completed. The store and stock
rooms are just overflowing with prepared
goods and the contracts given out for
fresh cut flowers will cover every de-
mand of the exacting holiday. Within the
last few days, an unusually attractive as-
sortment of baskets, vases and other re-
ceptacles for florists use has been received
from abroad. As far as workmanship,
charming combination of colors and de-
signing are concerned, these goods are far
ahead of anything heretofore offered and
the demand for them has been spontane-
ous and lasting.

George E. Buxton of Nashua, N. H.,
made a flying visit to Boston the other
day. From what he says Marcellus A.
Patten is expected on a lengthy visit to
his former home in Tewksbury in a week
OS so. Mr. Patten always comes north
from Florida during the Summer.

Dolansky-McDonald Co. furnished 40,-
000 Carnations to the Salem Hospital So-
ciety on the Saturday previous to Moth-
er's Day. This is some single contract,
but really not much if one has 180,000
plants to back it up as the firm has with
the output of "Sim's" immense range to
fall back upon. Dolansky-McDonald just
about trebled the business of any former
year and Memorial Day will find them
prepared to do the biggest business ever.

It may interest many of our friends to
know that Donald Sutherland has changed
his position from C. W. Souther, Ja-
maica, for the superintendency at the
Christian Benevolent Home at Chestnut
Hill. A new range of glass is to be

J. J. O'Brien's store on Beacon st. has
become well known among the ultra-dis-
criminating elect of Boston, as the source
of the choicest there is in orchids. Mr.
O'Brien will hunt far and wide to dis-
cover choice bits in the line of orchids
and he finds the renown thus achieved,
a great help in increasing patronage. In
his show case may be found at any time
the best the market can offer, either in
the line of staple flowers or novelties. The
location of the store in the most aristo-
cratic part of the city and the capable,
devoted staff employed, have gained this
business an enviable reputation.

A Notable Exhibition

A most novel and noteworthy exhibition
was staged in Horticultural Hall by Al-
bert Cameron Burrage of Orchidvale on
Saturday, May 14. The exhibit consisted
of a collection of Blueberry plants, grown
and forced into fruit at the Orchidvale
greenhouses. Besides being the first at-
tempt in this direction in Massachusetts,
it was of great educational value and it
demonstrated again how deeply Mr. Bur-
rage is interested in the many things
that go to make for progress along hor-
ticultural lines for the benefit to mankind.

The purpose of the exhibition was to

call attention to the Blueberry, one of the

most valuable commercial berry crops of

• the United States and particularly to

what is being done for the Blueberry by

When ordering, please mention The Exchange

the Government and those cooperating
with it, including Miss Elizabeth C. White
of White's Bog, New Jersey, who pro-
vided some medium sized Blueberry bushes
propagated from wild New Jersey stock,
specially selected on account of the size
of the berries they bore. There were also
some hybrid Blueberry plants received
from the Bureau of Plant Industry of the
United States Department of Agriculture
at Washington, through the courtesy of
Fdererick V. Colville, botanist, of the
bureau. All the plants have been in the
possesion of Mr. Burrage for some time
and under the careful management of his
superintendent, Douglas Eccleston, have
developed into healthy, robust plants cov-
ered with finely colored, large fruit. Se-
lection and hybridization have improved
the color and flavor of the berry as well
as the size. Blueberries have already been
produced ovc- five-eighths of an inch in
diameter and the prediction is made that
berries an inch in diameter will be ob-
tained before long. This work has been
going on for over ten years and, the re-
sults now being obtained demonstrate that
the Blueberry industry is going to be
greatly improved and that the Blueberry
of the future will be much larger and
finer than the Blueberry of the present
day. Its cultivation in the garden and
on the farm has been taken up on a large
scale by many interested parties, one of
which is Miss Marion Roby Case of Wes-
ton, who is successfully growing a good
sized block of Blueberries on her experi-
mental farm. The cultivation of Blue-
berries opens a chance to bring into profit-
able use many neglected parcels of land,
which, on account of more than normal
acidity, are not adapted for other crops.
Some of the exhibited plants were only
18 months old and bore a fine crop of the
largest berries. Pink and plum colored
berries were to be seen on the hybrid
plants.

Horticulture and the commonwealth are
again indebted to Mr. Burrage for his
unselfish efforts for the common good.

The Market

The market has been flat since
Mother's Day, with only Saturday, the
14th, of any account. This week is open-
ing up poorly with a full supply and al-
most no demand. Roses are hard hit; the
supply is extremely large and of splen-
did quality. There is a medium supply
of Carnations, but the demand _ is not
strong enough to clean up the daily sup-
ply. The large supply of American Beauty
Roses is almost uncalled for. Callas and
Easter Lilies are in limited supply; Cat-
tleyas plentiful and moving slowly. There
is very little Valley and what there is,
is readily disposed of. Snapdragon is
selling up well with a good supply; Sweet
Peas are arriving poor in quality. Local
Peonies have made their appearance, it
is stated that most of the Southern stock

is done. A limited supply of Spanish Iris
is moving evenly. Stocks, Candytuft, Gyp-
soplila and Daisies are all to be had. A
good supply of all greens is on hand.

kitchen of a restaurant next door and
swept through the upper floors of Mr.
Meehan's place. Most of the damage was
done by water which destroyed the en-

ery, etc. The stock was fully covered by
insurance. After temporary repairs, Mr.
Meehan was ready to open up for business

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

SPEEDING UP YOUR COLLECTIONS

With suggested form letters worded to fit the nature

of the delinquents.

By JOHN C. TOWNSEND

E\KKY ri'iail florist is fiiccil with the problom of
gettiuy liihi money in ut the eai-liest possible
monieut. Most retailers carry accounts far too
long, wlieu, by a well iilanned system of pushing de-
liuciuents. it is possible to make collections within
thirty days and often within ten days. The great
trouble is that merchants hesitate to antagonize cus-
tomers by pressing for payment on past due accounts.

There is a great variety of opinion on this subject,
as to just how aggressive the creditor should be and
what he may lose by making an insistent demand for
his money. This is especially true at the present time
when money is tight and payments delayed in all
lines of business. The writer has had considerable
experience in this line and has
recently talked with retailers
in all parts of the country on
the subject.

There is also a wide varia-
tion in the conditions which
face retailers in different
parts of the country. In some
quarters collections are good;
in others, very bad. Retail-
ers are having difflculty in
borrowing and are being
pressed by wholesalers; they,
in their turn, must face the
problem of hastening the pay-
ment of accounts due them.

How are they best to do
this?

In the first place, debtors
should be roughly grouped :

(a) The doubtful group —
people who are poor pay
but eventually pay up.

(b) People who have plenty
of money but are slow
pay.

(c) The group which with-
holds payment because of
poverty — the accounts
which merchants accept
rather than run the risk
of losing trade, or, for
fear that the competitor
might accept the account.

A Des Moines merchant
classifies his accounts as
above and regards them ac-

' cordingly, adjusting his meth-
ods of collection to fit each

. group on his books. In addi-
tion, he regroups the state-

! ments according to the person-

' ality of the delinquent and
his relationship with each, as
follows :

. u-rnup b
im b'tti'l-.

in liie lirst taliuliitin
witli stalement :

he sends the fol-

lii'ar Sir:

We beg to call your attention to the enclosed
statement.

We are compelled to do business on a small
margin these days and, in order to keep prices
fair, must have reasonably prompt response from
those to whom we extend credit on our books.
Xo doubt you have unintentionally overlooked
this comiiaratively small item, but an accumula-
tion of such accounts Would seriously curtail our
ability to render you prompt and fair service.

(a) People he knows per-
sonally and who are fair-minded, with good inten-
tions.

(b) People he does not know personally.

(c) Customers who are sensitive.

(d) Those who are not sensitive.

Each month he groups his statements before begin-
ning his collection campaign. He has had written a

First Prize Window Display

During Merchant's Display Week recently held in Mt. Vernon, N. Y., Clark, the Florist, was awarded first prize in the form
of a silver loving cup for his well planned and attractive window decoration. A wedding floral disi>Iay was featured and the judge's
decision in awarding first prize to Mr. Clark was based on this being an opportune subject carried out with excellent taste.

The mantel was decorated with potted Marguerites, tilted to give a drooping effect. Palms ard ferns were placed on either
sideofthemantel, and directly in front of it was the priedieu; cut Easter Lilies (which were in a concealed vase of water) decorated
the priedieu. Aisle posts, through which white satin ribbon was drawn, formed the bridal path. Tall vases of Easter Lilies and
palms were used for a background.

The ceiling was formed of Southern Smilax, this green also being used wherever it was necessary to give the proper effect of
an interior decoration.

The showered bridal bouquet wag of white orchids. Valley and Roses. Shepherds' crooks, with corsages of lavender orchids,
ribbons matching, described the brides' ittendiints For the flower girl there was a hat of yellow Daisies.

So that the flowers could be kept fresh, the bridal bouquet of orchids and Daisies was in water, containers being well con-
cealed. Among properties used were a dark green rug and a floor lamp.

We winild appreciate a check to cover.
Very truly,

(Signed).

People unable to pay form the largest percentage of

delinquents on the average merchant's books. They

offer him his greatest problem. As they form the

greatest percentage of his persistent delinquents, he

ill till-' past. However, the cost of conducting a
retail florists' business under present conditions,
demands that we enjoy a reasonably prompt set-
tlement of outstanding accounts.

We believe that 60 days is a reasonable period
of time on the enclosed statement.

We should be pleased to receive a remittance at
once.

Very truly,

(Signed).

The foregoing letters are sent to delinquents when
the account is over six weeks in arrears. It is
promptly followed b.v the next form, when the account
has run over sixty days.

Dear Sir :

We have had no reply
to our last communication
concerning your unpaid
account.

We dislike to take any
steps that would be em-
barrassing either to you
or to us, in order to col-
lect the money due us for
flowers delivered and
services rendered. But,
we will be compelled to
do so unless we have a
remittance within a week.

Unpaid accounts dimin-
ish the retailer's capacity
for rendering suitable
service to his customers,
and we always endeavor
to maintain our high
standard of excellence at
all times.

We trust that you will
realize the importance of
sending us your check at
once.

Very truly,
(Signed).

Now, in connection with the
various, individual types of
customers, the Des Moines
man tacks on carefully writ-
ten postscripts, designed to fit
the nature of the delinquent.
He feels that he can get rea-
sonably impatient, providing
he leaves the customer with
an impression of his desire to
please ; and that he values the
business.

In the case of all letters to
group a, in the second tabula-
tion, and on the second form,
postscript: "P. S. — I regret the

series of letters, one for each of the groups in the first must handle them with great care. It has been found

tabulation. The following form is used in addressini
_ those in group a, in the first tabulation :
Dear Sir :

Delay in meeting your account, as per enclosed
statement, is no doubt due to oversight, though
we have called your attention to the matter sev-
eral times within the past thirty days. If we
had any quantity of such accounts in arrears, our
business would suffer seriously, as we are called
upon to meet our payments for goods promptly.

Won't you please send us your cheek at once
so that we can close this matter which has been
hanging for almost 60 days?

We strive to make our service prompt and our
goods first-class, and feel that we have a right
to ask a reasonable degree of promptitude on the
part of those we carry on our books.

Let us hear from you by return mail.
Very truly,

(Signed).

that collection by personal call is best adapted to get
results with this group. A letter, to have force, may
work harm by creating antagonism that cannot be
recalled easily. On the other hand, a personal call
enables the collector to size up conditions and handle
the situation accordingly. To the third group, in the
first tabulation, the Des Moines man sends the fol-
lowing form ;

Dear Sir :

We have repeatedly asked a settlement of the
enclosed account. We do not like to take any
serious steps as we believe that you really want to
settle the matter, but we must ask that you give
it .vour immediate attention.

Even half of the total amount at this time,
and the balance in ten days, would prove that
we are right in our belief that you desire to settle.
We endeavor to sell fairly and render good serv-
ice to our customers at all times and trust that
our service has been entirely satisfactory to you

he adds the foUowiu;

necessity of bothering you with this comparatively
small matter, but you are familiar with my business
and know that it takes ready money to run it." The
postscript is written in the first person in order to
introduce a personal touch.

The postscript attached to all letters sent to people
in group 2, second tabulation, reads as follows :
"P. S. — We are too appreciative of your trade to have
you think that we are unduly anxious about the set-
tlement of your account. By the prompt settlement
of small accounts, we are enabled to serve you more
efflciently."

To group c, in the second tabulation, he placates the
sensitive and "touchy" souls with the following "tag" :
"P. S. — ^We only extend credit to people who are en-
titled to it, so that you may know that by extending
it to you, we have perfect faith in your ability and
willingness to pay."

The following postscript is added to all letters sent
out to delinquents in group d, second tabulation :
"P. S. — I trust that there has been nothing about our
service or flowers that has been unsatisfactory to
you?"

For a retail florist to attack all his delinquents In
the same manner Is poor policy. He learns to know
his people by personal contact and he must understand
that human nature is an uncertain quantity, and ex-

tremely variable. What might bring a
check from Smitb would drive Jones di-
rectly into the arms of a competitor.
While the tactful handling of your cus-
tomers takes time, thought and some
money, it pays. Success in business comes
from a clear understanding of the little
things; and the retailer, unlike the jobber,
is constantly in personal contact with the
consumer and must study them if he
would prosper.

It is due to the unwillingness of mer-
chants to take into consideration certain
traits in human nature that so frequently
overburdens their books with overdue ac-
counts. Perhaps in no department of the
business world is there a greater diver-
gence of experience in collecting money
than in the retail end. More than one
retailer has failed merely because he was
not a good collector. And while he has
fairness on his side, he must be liberal,
level headed and not "fly ' ofi the han-
dle," above all things. He should present
his case on the basis of the "square deal"
rather than adopt the use of the bludgeon.
It is always hard to club money out of a
man — you lose his friendship into the
bargain. And there are many accounts
which should always be collected in per-
son. An argiunent by mail results in
misunderstanding and bickering. Personal
contact permits the collector to meet con-
ditions on the spot as they develop.

The Way They Do It in England

The New York Times Magazine supple-
ment for May 8 contained an extremely
interesting illustrated article about the
cenotaph erected to the 800,000 British
dead right in the heart of London. The
article not only described this unique,
dignified and really glorious monument
and the way in which it is reverently
saluted by practically every passerby, and
equally reverently approached by visitors
to Loudon from all over the world, but
also described in detail the remarkable
extent and variety of floral offerings that
are constantly being placed about it.

At the time of its dedication by King
George himself, it is said that the flowers
formed mounds more than 6ft. wide, 6ft.
high and many feet in length, extending
in all directions from the mommaent it-
self. Even though many of these original
pieces have long since withered, a constant
flow of floral tributes has continued,
varying all the way from elaborate
wreaths and set pieces decorated with
rich ribbons, down to the simplest little
nosegay of conunon wildflowers bearing
only a simple card with a crudely written
but sincerely meant tribute. Sometimes
it is a famous general or distinguished
statesman from an allied coimtry who lays
a wreath with all formality in memory of
the armies of Britain; sometimes it is a
delegation from some special organization
— a football team, a trade tmion, a cham-
ber of commerce — which breaks away
from business or pleasure to commemorate
its oAvn departed; but far more often it ia
some bereaved wife or mother who slips
quietly up, sets down a few blooms and
steals away with her eyes filled with tears.

As one reads the article, one is struck
by its emphasis of a fact that has been

brought home to us before; namely, that
not only does England appear to know
how to do just the right thing in the right
way but, also, that in doing the right
thing in many cases she chooses with ex-
cellent taste and [perfect success that in-
valuable method oi saving it with flowers.
« « • «

Similarly in Paris, France, the grave
of the imknown French soldier, whose
body was laid to rest with national hon-
ors below the Arc de Triomphe, is con-
stantly heaped with flowers of all kinds.
There are offerings from kings, ambassa-
dors, ministers and societies of all kinds
and of all nations, together with flowers
from those in the most humble walks of
life — perhaps only a bunch of Violets or
a single Rose from the latter. The same
feeling prevails in the hearts of the rich
and poor alike — to honor the memories of
the departed heroes with flowers.
* * * *

The time will be ripe shortly for the
United States to make a similar move to
honor its soldiers, as has been done in
England and France, and there is no
doubt that here again flowers will play
the biggest part in the public demonstra-
tion.

Roses and Radium

Mme. Curie, the French scientist who
came to this country last week, making
the visit for the express purpose of re-
ceiving at the hands of President Hard-
ing, on May 20, a gram of radium, so
that she may experiment further in the
curative properties of this substance, was
greeted on arrival with so many flowers sent
by numerous admirers that her apartment
is said to have resembled a conservatory.
Mme. Curie is very fond of flowers of
every kind, but particularly appreciated

cured of a disease through radivun. In a
note which accompanied the Roses, the
grower said that he had been training

he first heard of Mme. Curie's proposed
visit to this country, so they would be in
perfect condition to greet her.

I Where Carnations Are^Cheap

I Boonton, Morris County, N. J., can ap-
parently produce Carnations cheaply,
j From the local paper we learn that Arthur
I Taylor, the florist, was offering for Moth-
I er's Day, Carnations at $1.50 a dozen. At
that price there was certainly no need
for people to wear Dandelions.

Flowers in the Daily Papers

Aside from its publicity value and its
beneficial effect on the florist trade, the in-
creased use of the phrase "Say it with
Flowers," and of reference to that sort
of expression in the daily press is rich in
real gratification for all who have helped
to bring the wonderful slogan into world-
wide prominence. It is now the accepted
way of saying that floral tributes were
given, and, if anything, its frequent repi-
tition has had a distinctly stimulating ef-
fect in leading people to send their mes-
sages in floral form more often than they
otherwise would. The following two ex-
tracts, clipped at random, not as the re-
sult of a definite search, from the New
York World of May 17 indicate the mat-
ter of fact acceptance of the florists' slo-
gan as a phrase of universal application:

PINE BOSES ZKTASZ:

'Wouien.'s Precinct Station House Decor-
ated in Honor of Mrs. £oft.

Police Commissioner Enright, Chief In-
spector Murphy, Lieut. Skehan, Mrs. Hy-
lan, Mrs. William R. Hearst, Mrs. En-
right and her own husband welcomed
Mrs. George W. Loft oflacially to her
new post of Special Deputy Police Com-
missioner yesterday afternoon at the
Women's Precinct Station House, No.
434 West 37th st. All the others ex-
pressed themselves in flowing phrases,
Mr. Loft said it with flowers. Pink. Roses!
Eight feet of them, to be exact, woven
into a good luck horseshoe!

It was a great day in Hell's Kitchen.
Limousines lined the way, and a fringe
of youngsters of all nationalities re-
garded the procedings from the vantage
of the opposite sidewalk. Nearer ap-
proaches were discouraged by the two
uniformed policewomen sentries at the
door. Flowers were massed everywhere,
the rooms were jammed to sufEocation,
and hehind the desk, where crimes were
erstwhile spread upon the record the
ceremony of Installation took place.

From All Farts of IT. S. Come Flowers

and Messages for "Uncle George,"

Collector

If there are any flowers up-State this
morning they must have budded over-
night. President Harding's new ap-
pointees in the Port of New York took
office yesterday.

When George W. Aldrich of Rochester
went into the Custom House to sit In the
chair of Collector, he almost had to
cut his way through a garden of posies.
There were wreaths and bunches and
bouquets of Roses and Lilies and what-
nots for "Uncle George," as his host
of friends all over the Nation affection-
ately call him. And there were telegrams

I and letters of good wishes that would

' take him a month to answer.

Flowers and National Hospital Day

Binghamton, N. Y., set a merry pace on
May 12 when nearly $2000 was collected
through flower sales for the benefit of
the Broome County Tuberculosis Hospital.
Stanley Barnes of The Flower Shop and
the Lady Kiwanis organized the drive, the
former giving over his shop for the cen-
ter of operations. The success of the
drive has decided Mr. Barnes to make it
an annual event. Each year the shop will |
be turned over to the National Hospital
Day Committee. The ladies, in addition
to the shop, ran a series of stalls, and
they had the assistance of the Boy Scouts
and many school children. Many flow-
ers were donated to the various stalls, one
or two of which proved unusually good
money getters. Even the theatre and dance
halls were invaded by the flower sellers
and in one theatre, an orchid bloom ivas
put up for auction from the stage, $7
iDeing realized for it.

Mother's Day Cooperative Adver-
tising

Mother's Day in tlie Violet country es-
ceeded all expectations. The two retail
florists of this small town cooperated in
an advertisement in the local paper, which,
together with previous publicity by the
editor and the ministers of the town, cre-
ated a demand which cleaned up all the
Carnations. Julius Von der Linden says
that the demand exceeded his expectations
and that the local and wholesale demand
kept him busy till Sunday afternoon.

The Rhinebeck Floral Co. cleaned up
on all flowers and had the best business

Among the florists shipping to the
wholesale trade both Mr. Oilman and Mr.
Fraleigh had many late calls for stock
from the nearby cities. Short Sweet
Peas and miscellaneous flowers enjoyed a
brisk demand.

Cut Plant and Flower Co., 19 Capitol st.,
has secured the services of Paul E. Em-
bler, a floral man of more than 35 years'

Further inquiries go to show that
Mother 's Day is most fi rmly intrenched
in the hearts of the people, and when the
idea that Carnations are the only flower
for the occasion wears away, it will rank
high with the florists. As it was, plants
cleaned up nicely, as did flowers of all
kinds, at prices little above tlie ordinary,
except Carnations, which sold around $3
for the most part, although in some in-
stances $1 for three blooms was asked
(just twice the price of Roses of the
Ophelia class), and but for this no com-
plaints about prices were noted.

Present business in cut flowers is satis-
factory, and with Memorial Day at hand,
prices will most likely remain satisfactory
to the grower, as Carnations are off crop
and likely to be short for some time and
the weather very unfavorable to outdoor
stock. On May 15 we had a heavy frost,
doing much damage to early vegetation.
This sort of thing puts a crimp into the
bedding plant trade hard to overcome, for
after Memorial Day interest in garden
work begins to slacken up, as so many of
our people now Summer at the adjacent
lakes, motoring in for business; and now
the Daylight Saving is in order, this
makes for long and pleasant Summers at
the lakes, and consequently a lack of cus-
tomers for the Summer ti-ade with the
florists. However, we shall clean ivp the
big Geraniums wliich now fetch 50c. to $1
in bloom ; 4in. stock quoted at $4 per
doz., with other bedding stock and vines
at $1.50 to $2.50, according to quality.
Pansies have sold well at varying prices,
ranging from three boxes for 25c. to SOc.
per doz. Every grocery is now supplied
Avith Tomato plants and other vegetables,
but there is little enthusiasm about gar-
den work this Spring, as Potatoes and
Onions at 40c. or 50c. per bushel do not
offer much encouragement to the city
dwellers, especially when the roads are
good and the fish biting. S. B,

Ontario Vegetable Growers
Association

Published by the Ontario Department
of Agriculture, the 16ih annual report of
the vegetable growers convention provides

80 pages.

Boiler Points To Consider

Five-section
Steam Boiler.

This is the time of year to make changes:
the time of year for repairs, and renova-
tions, and replacements: boilers like the
coal they burn, are seldom cheaper in Fall
than in Spring.

You know there are always a lot of last
minute people, but do you know that their
tardy demands always affect prices; be-
sides, it's a comfort to have such work
done and ready when cold weather comes
around.

There are different ways to heat green-
houses; however, there are more wrong
ways than right. Much depends on the
location, the size and the crop. Ask us
about these things. Our opinions will
cost your nothing and they are of value,

Five-section
Water Boiler.

because we have been doing heating work
for several generations.

Hot water and steam, with all their
modifications are well known to us. Both
are right in the right place, but many in-
stallations are not right — sort of the right
church but the wrong pew, as it were.
Glad to have you make use of our service.

We manufacture Tubular Greenhouse
Boilers, Cast Iron Square Sectional Green-
house Boilers, Cast Iron Round Section
Greenhouse Boilers, pipe fittings, branch
tees, coil headers with automatic vents,
pipe chairs, pipe hooks, hangers. If you
have a greenhouse or expect soon to have
one, you need our sen.-ice and our advice.
Our representatives will be pleased to call
on you at any time.

and low pressure.

We feel confident in offering AGERATUM "Fraserii" to our cuBtomere that we are offering
what will be one of the most valuable acquisitions to the bedding plant line in recent years, that
13 a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom. In our trial grounds laat Summer
"Fraserii" attracted more attention than any other bedding plant. It only grew about 8 to 10
in. high and was covered the entire season with what can easily be classed as immense trusses of
flowers, as many of them were over 2i'2 in- across, while the individual flower would be J4 of an
inch in diameter. The plant spreads about 12 to 15 in. across. It can easily be used with Alter-
nantheras as a border plant.

Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot plant.

The Knack of Packing Plants

PACKING is truly an art although, in the main, an
ai-qiiirt'd one. Sume have a natural aptitude I'or
iloin:; any joh well, due in a large measure to the
fact that they use their hralns as well as their hands.
The natural handy man is not specially gifted; his
ability to get around a job successfully is merely the
outcome of his exercise of thoughtfuiness and. it goes .
without saying, that sucli a man makes a more suc-
cessful packer, especially after he has had some ex-
perience.

Faulty packing, however, may not be solely the
fault of the employee; much of the loss occurring on
railways and in the mails is due to the packing ma-
terial supplied and, in such cases, the fault lies with
the actual shipper, whether he does his own packing
or whether he employs some one to do it for him.

Losses Through Poor Packing

lu The Exchange recently, some surprising figures
relating to losses through bad packing were given, the
total amounting to millions of dollars. These ligures,
of course, were in connection with all classes of goods
and, in a large measure, were based on the actual
claims against the railways.

Just how many of these claims related to nursery
and florists' stock is not known, but it is safe to
assume that such stock rules proportionately high
among the goods that get damaged in transit, because
of its fragile character.

And yet the general run of plant stock as shipped,
be it bedding plants in the Spring or flowering plants
In pot's for the Easter and other special periods, is
no more fragile than the various breakable goods that
are shipped all over the country. True, plants are
subject to damage through climatic conditions ; severe
frost is a source of danger, and an untoward delay
on the journey may result in drying out. Apart from
these factors, however, the plant shipper is at no
greater disadvantage than the shipper of other easily
injured goods.

Visit wa. Express Depot

A few moment's thought, or a visit to any railroad
depot or mail loading office, should convince the ob-
server that, first and foremost, plants must be packed
in containers capable of withstanding anything in the
way of dumping or crushing they may have to contend
with. Ordinarily, handlers of freight and parcels do
not go out of their way to damage goods ; they do not,
for instance, stack 200-lb. cases on top those weigh-
ing 10 lbs. They merely take it for granted that a
light package is strong enough to be thrown off a ear
without collapsing. If it fails to stand up to such
handling, the package is too weak and, as a rule,
claims for injury to such are resisted.

A Necessary Combination

Again, while the package or container may be suffi-
ciently strong, the contents are not safe from damage
unless they are thoroughly and - scientifically packed.
It is well understood that all fragile objects, be they
eggs, glass or plants, will, if not securely held in place,
be more or less badly damaged either through bumping
against the sides of the package or through contact
with each other.

Strangely enough, a vast num^ber of people never
appear to realize that the mails and express agencies
have millions of packages to handle, and that while
their local agents may treat these gently, those men at
the larger depots through which the goods pass have
no time nor space to treat packages as a nurse does an
infant.

It is therefore up to the shipper to make sure that
his package is not only strong enough to bear average
handling but that the contents are fixed so that no
movement is possible.

Importance of Paper Wrapping

The most important factor in the packing of plants
for shipment, is wrapping paper. Newspaper or maga-
zine paper for wrapping, according to the size of the
plants, is absolutely essential, whether it be flowering
plants in clay pots, bedding stock in paper pots, or
seedlings out of boxes. Everything should be tightly
wrapped, not only to keep soil from scattering but
to prevent friction.

.Good Stock Ruined

f The writer recently saw a batch of valuable Be-
jgonias just as received from a distant point through
an express company. The plants were undoubtedly
first-class stock when packed and had been shifted
tout of li/lin. pots into paper ones. The plants were
set tightly in trays, but the shipper forgot to paper
?ach one. Instead, he had conceived the idea that
:hin strips of wood between each row of pots would
serve as a guard. The trays were packed in boxes.

One box came Ihrougli fairly well save that the foliage
was rubbed; the other was a deplorable object lesson
of how not to pack. Some of the strips, not being
fastened, had worked loose and had simply sawed the
plants to pieces and what the strips had failed to do
the general friction and the loosened soil had accom-
plished.

You Can't Bluff the Express Agent

The rGClpiont at once called up the express agent
who, on seeing the mess, at once asked if he (the re-
ceiver J would ever send out plants so packed. The
agent had seen enough of plant packages to know
that the fault was due to poor packing.

A sheet of paper around each would have prevented
one plant rubbing its neighbor and, at the same time,
enabled the packer to line them up so closely that
each tray would become a solid, unshiftable mass.

Tie or Band the Wrapper

Small plants out of boxes or pots, after wrapping,
do not require any top tie ; the top should be left open,
but the time taken in slipping a tie of raffia or a
hubber band round the pot is worth while, for it keeps
each plant Intact.

If to be shipped any distance, damp moss or hay
should be u.sed as filling between pots; this is also
necessary for plants out of boxes. Seedling Snap-
dragons, Asters, etc., out of beds or boxes, should be
done up in hundreds, wrapped in damp moss with
paper and tied. Small wooden labels should be slipped
under the ties, if many varieties are being packed in
one box.

Keep Plants Upright for Rail

With all such small stock, the box used should at
least be half as deep as the plants are high, and then
finished off like a slatted crate. It is false economy
to ship in thin, shallow cases, for it must be remem-
bered that the buyer wants his plants in good shape.
He may, perhaps, kick because you send what to him
seems a heavy case, but you can kick back by explain-
ing that a few cents on the carriage costs is a sight
better than dollars' worth of damaged plants. The
freight charge on a packing case can be added to the
selling price of the plants.

Not every shipper of plants is fortunate enough to
have a supply of ammunition carrying trays as have
some in the vicinity of New York. Such packing cases
could not be made for ten times what the Govern-
ment sold them at the close of the war, but it is not
at all difficult to obtain boxes suitable for plant carry-
ing.

A plant packer, if handling small stock out of pots,
should first lay a little damp bay. Wood wool, or
grass, in the bottom of the box and then tilt the latter
so that the plants can be packed firmly from end to
end, the roots resting firmly on the bottom. The
tightly wrapped plants can then be worked in closely
until the box is full. Any space left over should
be tightly packed with damp material.

Top Protection Essential

If the case is deep enough to give complete clear-
ance, a few strips of wood nailed across its top is all
that is needed to complete the job.

Shallow cases must be augmented by false ends to
support the top strips. Two pieces of lumber suffi-
cient to give clearance, and a cross bar, should be
securely nailed to the ends, the bars serving to carry
the top strips.

So packed, the expressmen can see what is in the
cases and thus avoid turning the cases upside-down
as is likely when boxes are complete closed in.

Larger stock in pots, flowering or otherwise, should
be completely wrapped in newspaper, a tie being made
around the pot, and another at the top, the paper
being tall enough to permit its being gathered in,
cone fashion. For most stock a stake is an additional
protection; this permits a firm tie above the plants.

Where permissible, stock of this description can be
protected overhead by the simple expedient of bamboo
canes or willows attached to the corners of the case
by nails and string the ends being brought over and
securely tied in the center.

Cases used for carrying pot stock, should be well
packed with hay; the pots should be held so tightly
that they are immovable until the end packing is
removed.

All packages should be labeled according to the regu-
lations of the express companies, that is, in addition
to the regular label, the address should also be written
in large letters on the case itself. A special plant
label should also be fastened to the top of the case.

Under pre-war conditions, it will be remembered
that florists' stock was rated by the express com-
pany as second class, with a 20 per cent discount off.

provided packages were slatted on top so as to show
the nature of contents. Today, and for some time
jiast, all plants have been rated as first class, with
an ,i(ldcd penalty if the tops of crates or packages
are inijjrotected.

Express charges are so high that it is incumbent on
the shipper to see to it that not only must the con-
tainer be sufiiciently strong to resist shock and break-
age, hut he should also bear in mind that it is not
at all satisfactory to his customer to he the recipient
uf a case which in itself weighs two and three times
more than is at all necessary. It is urged upon all,
particularly beginners in the shipping line, to use their
best judgment in the selection of containers.

Study the Routing System

Every shipper of pl.ints by rail, should make him-
self acquainted with the most expeditious route; a
day gained is important, both for the plants and the
man who is waiting for them.

Parcel Post Shipments

For parcel post shipments, complete wrapping of all
plants is essential and as it is not possible to keep
the package right side up, the plants should be laid
fiat. The wrapping should be as tight as possible to
prevent sagging of the soil or paper pots and, if of
more than three layers, securely fastened strips should
be used to prevent the upper layers crushing the lower
ones. Plenty of damp wood wool or moss should be
used to prevent drying out and shaking. Wood wool
is not advisable for stock that is going to be several
days in transit.

Small seedlings or newly propagated stock are best
made up into small bundles, each with a little damp
moss around the roots before wrapping, A tie of
raffia will prevent loosening.

Flowering Plants by Mail

Do not attempt to send flowering plants by mail
unless they be Pansies or similar stock that is not at
its maximumt growth. The manner in which mail
parcels are thrown about precludes all chance of flow-
ering plants arriving in good shape.

Acknowledgments and Shipping Notices

Finally, always make a point of acknowledging all
orders immediately on receipt and, if shipment cannot
be made immediately, a notice of date of dispatch
should be sent so that the purchaser will know just
when to expect his order.

Considerable irritation (and deservedly so) is cre-
ated through the neglect to send these businesslike
courtesies.

The seeker of a shipping trade soon gets himself
into bad odor through thoughtlessness in regard to
acknowledgments and packing, equally as much as
those who fail to send stock that measures up to the
class recognized as good.

Tlie man who cannot grow good stock will never
make a good reputation, however well he may pack,
but the man who spoils good stock through careless
packing is foolish, to say the least.

The Glass Industry ^Ff

It was revealed, this past week, by Samuel Unter-
.myer before the Lock wood committee (New York
City) that a combine of glass manufacturers, controll-
ing practically $350,000,000 worth of window, plate
and rough glass annually, has increased prices 400
per cent since 1915. The signing of the armistice and
the relaxation of Federal supervision on industry was
followed by a rise in prices of 250 per cent tor the
year from the end of 1918 to the end of 1919. Prices
increased 150 per cent from 1915 to 1918.

The combine was said to consist of three national
associations, known as the National Association of
Window Glass Manufacturers, with headquarters in
Pittsburgh ; the Plate Glass Manufacturers of Amer-
ica, with oflices in the same building, and the Associa-
tion of Manufacturers of Rough Glass. The national
associations are allied through membership in the
National Glass Distributing Association, the organi-
zation of jobbers which covers the United States and
which is divided into the Eastern Association and the
Western Association. The jobbers handle the output
of the manufacturers.

The evidence revealed by Mr. tJntermyer showed
that the glass manufacturers kept a strict supervision
of the amount of glass manufactured, arranged a
"quota" of the product to be manufactured by each
member, fixed uniform prices and had the factories
shut down when the "quota" was obtained. This
quota was usually obtained in sixteen weeks, after
which time the furnaces were "blown out" and the
workmen laid oft.

Time's Chances. — Ted — ^Woman's dress was once a
mystery.

Ned — Now it's a revelation.

Substitutes for Glass

The question of raising and protecting crops, both Boral and vegetable, with the least possible
cost is an important one. The writer of the attached article, a practical grower, puts forward
a suggestion which is worthy of the most careful consideration by all florist growers.

RKl'MOKKNCK Wits fi'Cfiitl.v iii;h1l' to j,'liiss cliitli,
a citlioo-like niiitcriMl tivati'd with wax, wliieh
wns strniij;l.v I'ecciiniitiMiiUMl by the mulun's fur
fiMiiie sashes ntul teminu'jiry structures, see page 10-ti,
April ".0.

This writer lias several sashes ccivered with this
material, tlie framework belli;; made lit) uf light lum-
ber sueh as is used for uiaUiug luosipiito screens. So
far, these sashes are ipiite as satisfactory as those
made of glass and. owing to the opalescent quality of
the material, no sliadiug is reipiired.

Seedling perennials of all kinds are doing well
under the frames which are open at the sides and
front. The hack is formed by the house wall, the
position facing due west.

Will Glass Cost Keep Up?

The recent disclosure before the Lockwood Com-
mittee as to the delilierate restriction of output of flat
glass, thrtuigh an agreement between the various fac-
tories to close down at certain period.s in order to keep
up the price of glass, indicates that the users of glass
have scant hope for a reduction.

It was generally understood that the domestic glass,
prior to the war, was kept at more or less the same
price level as tlie imported Belgian made glass, which
had to meet a duty according to the size of the
sheets.

We may take it for granted that the Belgian glass
output is not yet up to pre-war standard, indeed, it
has been stated that the Belgian factories are bool^ed
up for years, and that Great Britain alone could
absorl-i all tlie Belgian product in addition to what is
manufactured in the home factories.

Assuming tliis to be so, the prospect for a price
reduction of sheet glass here is decidedly remote.

Consider the Substitute

Under the necessity of curtailing expenditure with-
out reducing the output, florists throughout the coun-
try would do well to consider and exploit the possi-
bilities of substitutes for glass wherever possible.

The British Chamber of Horticulture is so far in-
terested in the problem as to have erected a small
house wholly covered with a material called Spoudite,
a transparent gelatinous substance in which is incor-
porated a fine wire mesh. This material has all the
characteristics of glass without its brittleness and,
should a hole be knocked in it, a repair can be made
by patching or. in the ease of a small puncture, by
painting over with special solution which at once be-
comes part of the whole.

The cost id' Siiondlte Is, I believe, considerably
higher than glass cloth; its capability of resisting de-
terniration through rusting of tlie wire is not yet
proven.

The resistance and wearing ([uality of glass cloth,
as well, has to be proved, especially during the Win-
ter; even during the Summer, its ability to withstand
hot sunshine has to be proved and, in this respect, it
must .stand up well, otherwise it could not be used
for the protection of stock carried through the Sum-
mer under sashes. It may prove possible to re-dress
the cloth with wax after a season's service in the
open.

A New Product P. A. T.

Another substitute for glass is now attracting at-
tention, this being a French product, called I'. A. T.
This material has apparently been in use for some
time in Europe, for it has been awarded seyeral prizes
when exhibited at Paris, Lyons, Amiens, Bordeaux,
France, and at various Swiss exhibitions.

It is stated that over five million yards of P. A. T.
have been used by the French government, railroad
companies and factory builders ; presumably much of
it has been used to repair the damage in the war
area, glass being unobtainable.

Large numbers of French nurserymen and market
growers are using it, also in England. Tested at the
Lyons Science College, P. A. T. seems to have with-
stood a breaking stress equal to 17 lbs. to the square
inch. It is capable of resisting any load of snow,
volcanic ashes or wind pressure that ordinary glass
will stand under the same conditions. It equals glass
as a non-conductor of heat and cold, and its trans-
parency is similar to frosted glass.

In the words of the manufacturer, P. A. T. is com-
posed of a textile foundation between two sheets of
ttrmly united cellulose, rendered translucent by a
special process — shorn of its technicalities, this means
that it consists of sheets of specially tough paper be-
tween which threads of unusually strong cotton or
hemp are sealed criss-cross fashion, the whole being
treated with some waterproof oil or varnish.

Judged by the sample before me, this material is a
great advance upon the oiled paper introduced some
twenty years ago, while it surpasses Spondite or
glass cloth because it does not crack when folded and
may be rolled up like cloth without serious wear.
Indeed, it is strongly recommended tor roller shades
or blinds for dwelling houses, inside or out, and can
be fixed to all existing framework as used for glass

in liiiiMings of every description. It is not atVected
by Miiiiosiiberic condltiinis, and resists u heavier hail

tli.aii does glass.

Practical for Horticultural Work

Fc>r bcu-tlcultural work, 1". A. T., despite its yellow
apjiea ranee, .seems to have great possibilities. Made
in widths up to ."idin.. and in rolls about Tra yds. long,
tills inateri.il can either be used as a temporary roll
sliadc nv fastened lo .sashes and used like glass.

I understand that the French gardeners are using
it fcu' all kinds of crops with great success.

The cost is given as about one-sixth the |irice of
glass, the price as now selling in England being £4.
i.jil. a roll (at present exchange about $W), say about
'2fi(;. a square yard. Glass cloth at the same lengths
cost about 2t)c. a yard but is only obtainable in .3Gin.
width.

What Substitutes Can Be Used For

That substitutes for glass will prove valuable for
various purposes, need not be questioned ; for the pro-
tection of Chrysanthemums, etc., from frost, or the
in'otection and hastening of Spring crops, both vege-
tables and flowers, these materials could be used at
far less cost than glass and with greater ease, owing
to the lightness of the sashes. No rabetting is re-
quired as the meiterials can be held down by narrow
strips of wood.

To prevent damage from wind, it is only necessary
to use the same amount of cross bars on the frames
as is used in the form of sash bars for holding glass.
Special fastenings to hold down movable sash lights
are, of course, essential, but this is frequently neces-
sary with glass frame sash. I have seen 6ft.x4ft.
glass sash go sailing clean over a 25ft. house. It is
odds on cloth or paper frame sash coming through
with less damage than a glass one, under a similar
strain.

Glass Costs versus Substitutes

\'iewed from all standpoints and witb a practical
eye, I believe there are great possibilities for the non-
glass frame sash. It merely remtains for the growers
to try them out on fair and square lines. For myself
I am satisfied ; glass at the local store costs anything
up to 20c. a foot, the lowest oft'ering by the box being
somewhere around Sc, plus carriage. Substitutes cost
around .3c. to 4c. a foot and call for far less costly
framework. It is not suggested that substitutes can
be used for regular greenhouses or heated pits, but
for the man who wants plant protectors and can't run
to regular sash, the substitute offers a way out.

Many acres of early Chrysanthemums are protected
from night frosts by the European growers, through
the use of ordinary canvas run over framework, and
still more acres are protected by glass sash, fastened
to tall framework, after the sash has done a turn
elsewhere over a crop of Tomatoes. These same
sashes are, in the early Spring, used to hasten or
protect Tulips and Narcissus or other crops. W.

First Hand Facts About an Adjustable
Greenhouse

In The Exchange for March 19, 1920, on page 666,
appeared a brief note concerning a traveling green-
house with a roof ad.iustable to different heights which
has been invented by a French grower located in
England. This apparatus has been described In the
English Fntit Crroiccr and. it is said, has given good
satisfaction where tried out on the other side.

We are now in receipt of a letter from .1. C. de Jong,
the inventor, which we give in practically its original
language, also a copy of patent specification 139,011
de.scribing the greenhouse and illustrating its adjus-
table mechanism. If growers or greenhonsemen are
interested we will be glad to give any further avail-
able information.

The Inventor's Story of the House

Editor The Florists' Exclianr/c:

Tour name has been handed to me by one of the
leading growers in London, who told me that you
were interested in movable glasshouses and were
familiar with conditions in Guernsey, where several
movable glasshouses are in use.

As a practical French gardener and grower of flow-
ers, Strawberries and vegetables. I have long felt the
great need of such a movable house, in which one
could raise a succession of crops, and which would
not have to be idle for a certain period of each year.
I have held, for several years the leading position in
one of the largest fruit, flower and vegetable nurseries
in this country, using both fixed and traveling glass-
houses and outdoor beds, and I have invented a
movable glasshouse, in wliich the roof can be raised

and lowered as desired, from a height of about 1ft. to
that of Sft. or 9ft. from the ground, according to the
crops grown beneath.

The ordinary movable glasshouses are well enough
for Tomatoes, Cucumbers and Chrysanthemums, but
when yon come to grow Lettuce, Eadishes, Spinach,
Turnips, Beet root, French Beans, Carrots and all
such crops, you will find it impossible to do so, be-
cause, being too far from the glass, they draw up and
get spindly. When you want to grow those crops,
yon want to have them as close to the glass as you
can. The result is then that you get a quick, perfect
crop, at a minimum cost, because your heating is only
about one-sixth of what it would be under a movable
house 9ft. high. Also in forcing Strawberries, instead
of carrying the tremendous cost of potting up and
continually watering, .von simply plant your Straw-
berries in the ordinar.v way and move your traveling
house over them, bringing the glass as close as they
require.

For forcing bulbs such as Daffodils, Narcissus, Span-
ish and English Iris, Violets, Mignonette, Pinks, Stocks,
Gypsophila. Sweet Peas, etc.. it is the ideal house, as
you can regulate the heat better in it than in a fixed
house. With regard to Golden Spur, Emperor, Bi-
eolor Victoria and Ornatus, I once forced these for
two successive years with great success and without
lifting them, which means a great sating in the bulb
bill.

Only last w-eek. I brought to market Strawberries
which fetched 12 shillings per pound from a two-year-
old bed ; this means a fine profit above that possible
from the outdoor crop. In Summer my houses can be
used for Tomatoes and Cucumbers, and in Autumn
and Winter for growing Chrysanthemums. I have
grown two crops of the latter plants to perfection,
one an early sort and the other a late one. What a
difference in bloom there was, the blooms being nearly

twice the size, of those on plants which were lifted
and placed in fixed houses.

Any practical grower can see directly what can be
done with such movable houses. Tliey can be made
100ft. long by 40ft. wide and the roof can be raised up
to about 9ft. Greater length and width can be had
if desired.

What I claim to make possible my invention is this :
Perfect and certain crops, the saving of labor and
time, and. best of all. the saving of heating costs and
money all the time. I know there are in America
thousands of market gardeners and flower growers,
to whom my invention would be of great use and ad-
vantage. It is protected by patent deed No. 1.39011 in
England and Numbej- 1.36S613 in the U. S. A.

ii .^'ou care to mention my invention in The Flo-
rists' Exchange, it is my intention to come some
time to America with a working model and give a i
lecture about the most economical use of my invention.

National Flower Growers

Ohio District

A State meeting of the Ohio District of the National
Flower Growers .\ssociatiou will he held in Columbus
on Tuesday, June 21, at 2 p.m., at the Deschler Hotel.

This meeting will be held for the purpose of electing
liermanent ortlcers for the Ohio District and appoint-
ing a committee to take up the active work of securing
data on cost systems for growers and retailers, the
standardizing of the gra<ling of cut flowers and plants,
legislative matters, cooperative buying of supplies,
and other important subjects.

There will be speakers of national importance to
address the growers on each of these subjects. This
meeting will be one of the most imiiortant ever held
for the florists of Ohio and should bring a large at-
tendance. L. C. Vinson.

TESTIMONIALS
Joy Floral Co.:

Gentlemen: We are much pleased with your new white Carnantion. It is clean grow-
ing, makes very little grass as practically every shoot runs immediately to a bloom. The
color could not be a purer white at any time of the year. It is a non-burster, the calyx
being long, the bud coming out quite a distance from the calyx before opening. When al-
lowed to develop the flower has a high center, the form being excellent.

Tours very truly,

PATTEN & CO.

Joy Floral Co.: ^,^ „ i, t »

Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to recommend your white Carnation Joy to
florists who want a good commercial white. As far as I know, there is no other white
that is just as good. I was a little skeptical at first, but I am fully aonvinced, after seeing
the variety growing at our place, that It is even better than Matchless, and that It will
hold its own for some time to come. 1°^?USt'^F. POEHLMANN.

° Gentlemen; We want to report that in our location, where sunlight is about as rare a
bird as any place in this country, it is not only holding its own but proving to be a wonder.
We consider it to be an excellent commercial white Carnation. Tours truly,

Geraniunit Mrs. Georgo E* Buxton

To the Rose Grower who is always on the alert for the best "ever"

we have the following trio to offer:

HILL'S AMERICA

THE E. G. HILL CO.
(Rose Premier X Hoosier Beauty)

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

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

Resembles Columbia in its extraordinary,
strong, quick growth and does not crimp the
outer petals under any growing conditions;
scores very high on form and size.

The color is a gorgeous rose-pink.

Quite distinct; a fine addition to the "Big
Rose" Class.

RED COLUMBIA

JOS. H. HILL CO.
Sport from Columbia

Brilliant velvety crimson-scarlet, much the
tone of Hoosier Beauty, never blues.

Not so full as the parent, but very lasting
and with June-rose fragrance.

The foliage is ample and beautiful.

No forcing Rose makes so quick a come-
back as the Red Columbia, consequently
while it is not so full as the parent, its big
crops of gorgeous red at Thanksgiving, again
at Christmas, then at Valentine's Day, and
on up to hot w^eather make it extremely
profitable.

ANGELUS

FRED LEMON
(Columbia X Ophelia)

White with cream tinted center.

A big, rounded Rose, like Premier in form
but with higher center; very lasting, and
fragrant.

Foliage dark green, disease-resistant.

A vigorous, upright grower and free in
bloom.

Resembles Kaiserin Augusta, but is quite
full, 40 to 45 petals and unlike Kaiserin it
blooms freely in Winter and is a good keeper.

Was awarded Certificate of Merit of the
Chicago Flower Growers' Association in
1 92 1 ; also Silver Medal of the New York
Flower Show, Spring of 1921.

NEW GERANIUM, MRS. GEORGE E. BUXTON

This is one of the finest double Geraniums ever introduced to the Trade. It is of a strong robust growth, bearing enormous trusses
of flowers of a most beautiful rose pink. As a pot plant it is all that could be desired. For outside bedding this new acquisition will
please the most critical. A free bloomer and easily rooted.

Notes from Abroad

Tlie season advances with giant strides.
Streams of heterogeneous vehicles radiate
in all directions from Covent Garden
Market, bearing Argosies of bloom for
the beautifying of suburbs in London.
Among the mammoth Pansies, giant Mig-
nonettes and uniform Lobelias, are dis-
cernible later season comers, such as Ver-
benas, Salvias. Nemesias and Crassulas.

Recent rains have done much good to all
growing crops in Great Britain, but on
the continent of Europe, rain is, generally
speaking, still a desideratum. The Rhine
district of Germany has suffered from the
drought considerably, which has been very
prejudicial to the local crops of natural
grasses. From tlie West of France,
Hower seed crops are reported to be at
present in fairly good shape, but articles
of the Brassica tribe are flagging for want
of moisture. From Provence and Langue-
doc, come advices that the over-Wintered
flower plantations such as Bellie, are
promising well. In the former district,
irrigation is largely available, which nat-
urally renders the growers less subject to
the vagaries of climate. Further exten-
sions of this system in the Durance Valley
are in contemplation, have in fact, already
been authorized by government and only
delayed through political happenings. Such
installations are of very heavy initial ex-
pense, but wisely designed will in the
long run, repay their promoters a hundred-
fold.

Such considerations bring Australia to
mind, where the authorities are well up-
todate in this matter. Still the general
prosperity depends mainly on the rainfall,
and it is pleasurable to receive advices at
this moment that good rains have fallen
in New South Wales, tlius ensuring a
satisfactory Wheat harvest. Plenty of
moisture also brings about the native de-
mand for seeds, and most lines of vegetable
and flower seeds are pretty well cleared
out. There is, however, still room for the
disposal of some heavy stocks which have
accumulated in the way of grasses. Clovers
and Rape.

It is iraderstood that J. M. Bridgeford,
managing director of Watkins & Simp-
son, Ltd., of London, is about to embark
for the United States with a view to in-
specting the seed growing districts. He
will also endeavor to make a few calls on
leading seed houses on his return jour-
ney, a-is far as the limited time at his
disposal will allow.

New York Seed Trade

Action Taken Re French Bnlbs

A meeting was held in this city
on Monday last, May '23, by the principal
American importers of French bulbs, for
the purpose of discussing, expressing their
opinions of and deciding on action in view
of the existing stiuation, which is looked
upon in the light of a price deadlock.
After considerable discussion it was de-
cided to cable the French exporters, re-
questing them to reduce their prices suf-
ficiently to enable importers to handle
the bulbs here this season under existing
conditions.

No Cessation of Counter Trade

A sudden cessation in the counter
demand for seed such as occurred three
years ago about the first of May, and
which some feared would be repeated this
year, has, fortunately, not materialized.
On the contrary, the seed selling period
promises to be long drawn out this year,
though as a matter of course it is grad-
ually decreasing. The demand for green

plants, l)oth vegetable and flowering, is
large and steady, and does not appear to
have even reached its height. Insecticides,
both in liquid and powder form, and the
sprayers and powder guns for applying
them are just now in large demand. Fer-
tilizers, garden tools and lawn requisites
are meeting with large sales. Taken all
in all, it now looks as if sales in the
seed stores for this season would be
above the average.

At Max Schling's Seed Store, 24 W.
59th St., it is reported that trade is keep-
ing up wonderfully well and. in fact, that
the counter demand is now as brisk as in
the busiest days in April. Orders by
mail, too, continue to come in freely.
There is no cessation in the large demand
for seeds of the Blue Lace Flower. Other
flower seeds are also meeting witli a large
sale. Lawn requisites, especially motor
mowers, are selling freely. One of the
leaders in the season's sale has been pot
grown Roses.

At the big Stumpp & Walter Co. store,
30-32 Barclay st., business is quite brisk.
The demand this season for the choice
named varieties of Dahlias, of which this
firm makes a specialty has been very large.
The extremely large variety of flowering
and vegetable plants, which it carries in
large numbers, is also meeting with an
excellent demand. Seasonable seeds and
flowering bulbs and roots, are also moving
well.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay st.,
reports that for some unexplainable rea-
son the sales of flowering plants, especially
perennials, are larger tlian those of vege-
table plants though the latter, too, are
moving well. The attacks of aphides on
many outdoor plants which are prevalent
just now are having their effect in the
form of greatly increased sales of insecti-
cides and different kinds of apparatus for
the application of these.

Robert W. MacNiff of the MacNiff Hor-
ticultural Co., says that thus far this sea-
son the demand for small nursery stock of
every kind, especially for Rose bushes,
and every other kind of green plant both
vegetable and flowering, has been larger
than he has ever experienced since he has
been in business; furthermore, the prices
obtained for these goods have averaged
better than ever before.

J. M. Bridgeford Arrives

J. M. Bridgeford, managing director of
•the big London wholesale seed house of
Watkins & Simpson, arrived in New York
on the Aquitania, after a record trip,
late on Friday, May 20. The vessel was
due to arrive on Saturday, but witli such
favorable weather, she slipped across the
3100 odd miles from C'herbourg at an
average speed of nea riy 23 knots, the
faste.st trip by any steamer since 1914.

But for fog and other delays outside
the harbor, the Aquitania would have
berthed quite early in the afternoon; as
it was, it was after 11 p.m. before Mr.
Bridgeford got ashore, wearied out with
hanging aroimd for passport examinations,
etc., since 2 p.m. He .stopped over Sat-
urday and Sunday at the McAlpin, ven-
turing out but little. On Monday he
favored The Exchange with a visit, after
which he completed his arrangements for
a trip to the West. Leaving Monday
night, he is due in Los Angeles on Satur-
day and, from thence, he will commence
the long trip up the Coast, visiting the
great farms of C. C. Morse & Co., San
Francisco, and W. Atlee Burpee & Co.,
Lompoc. All other seed growing centers
will be taken in, and the Grand Canyon
also.

Traveling north, he will visit Portland,
Seattle and British Columbia, working his
way east, taking in St. Paul, Chicago,

NOT HOW CHEAP
BUT HOW GOOD

Coming down on the
train, a fellow commuter in
the course of our conversa-
tion condemned the so-
called profiteering of florists
on Mother's Day, and, in
particular, upheld the
preacher who had suggested
the wearing of Dandelions,
to "swat the profiteer."
Were preachers to confine
themselves to preaching the
Gospel according to the
teachings of the Scriptures,
they would not find it
necessary to preach to
empty pews or sound the
alarm of an enormous fall-
ing off in church atten-
dance. How much attention
is given to a sermon in
which such extraneous mat-
ters as the wearing of Dan- j
delions are discussed? Un- f
fortunately, however, the
church appears to be drift-
ing further and further from
its true purpose and lest
they come down too heavily
on certain sanctimonious
hypocrites who are open
violators of established re-
ligious tenets, many preach-
ers are now relying on sen-
sational methods-scrying
out against the curtailment
of personal liberties, pro-
hibition and what not — and
in other ways spreading a
feeling of discontent and
rebellion instead of preach-
ing the Gospel of peace, or-
der and obedience. We
sail under our true colors
and only secure the best
bulbs to be had so as to
maintain the standard of
Horseshoe Brand, this not
only for Lily Bulbs but for
French and Dutch Bulbs
as well. Send us your
order if you want depend-
able stock.

several of the Canadian cities and thence
South, touching Buffalo before reaching
New York, in mid-July, where he expects
to spend a week or so before returning
home.

Mr. Bridgeford is something more than
a seed merchant; his knowledge of grow-
ing and selection and the immense amount
of work he has done on the seed grounds
have done much to place his firm among
the leaders as handlers of first class

The bulk of the intermediate varieties
of Snapdragons now in cominerce origi-
nated at Feitham, Middlesex, where, dur-
ing the Summer months, Mr. Bridgeford
spends all the time possible.

The senior of the firm, Alfred "Wat-
kins, is likewise a skilful plant developer.
Plant raising has been a life hobby with
him, and while no longer a youngster, he
is still keenly trying out all kinds of
plants, his private garden being more in
the nature of an experimental ground.

This is Mr. Bridgeford's first trip to
the United States, and it is safe to say
that nothing possessing any value will es-
cape his keen eye. Lester C. Morse,
Frank Cuthbertson, David Burpee and
Geo. TV. Kerr, with whom Mr. Bridgeford
is well acquainted, are all at present lo-
cated in California and may be depended
upon to show him all there is to see in the
. way of seed farms.

Committee on Grievances

At the meeting of the Wholesale Grass
Seed Dealers Association in Chicago, Jan.
25, 1921, the Committee on Grievances
was created, consisting of seven members
of the association, the Association counsel
being nominated as chairman. This com-
mittee has been duly organized.

The principal duties of the committee
are to investigate and, so far as pos-
sible, to attempt to eliminate fraud or mis-
representation of quality in the sale of
agricultural seeds, whether the ofl^enses
complained of are by members of the
'\\'holesale Grass Seed Dealers' Association
or by non-members.

The methods of carrying on the work
of this committee have been carefully
thought out, after negotiations with vari-
ous Government agencies, and may be
briefly summarized as follows:

(1) In case of mistake or unintentional
misrepresentation of quality, correction
by private agreement with the seedsmen.

(2) Report of ofEender to members of
the Association.

(3) Expulsion of member from Asso-
ciation.

(4) Presentment of complaint to the
Federal Trade Commission.

(5) Prosecution under Federal or State
Seed Laws.

ing the firm open to the charge of "pro-
fiteering," a charge which will very like-
ly react unfavorably on other depart-
ments of the business, as well as on the
one actually concerned.

We should like to have the views of
some of our friends who are more deeply
interested in this branch than ourselves,
but our own opinion is, that unless some
considerable concession is made, it would
be better for the trade to cut out this
branch altogether, until circumstances
are more favorable, more especially as
the conditions ruling at present, are not
at all favorable to making investments
for forcing.

Our feeling is that the best course to
pursue, is for all dealers to put a notice
in their Autumn lists, frankly explain-
ing the situation, and stating that as
the growers have put up prices to such
a pitch as to put the bulbs out of the
reach of ordinary buyers, it has been de-
cided not to attempt to do business this
year, and until they are reduced to a
reasonable figure. Freesias might al-
most be included as the disastrous
Spring frosts have damaged stocks to
such an extent that good bulbs will be
very scarce and dear.

[It may be said, however, that while the
British bulb merchants and forcers are
interested in Roman Hyacinths, the
Paperwhite Narcissus is of so little ac-
count in Great Britain that the purchase
or non-purchase of these bulbs by British
concerns would not affect the question of
price, so far as America is concerned.

American forcers have largely depended
upon Paperwhites for early forcing, in-
deed it might be said that practically all
the bulbs exported from France have come
across the Atlantic.

Xone of the British forcers venture to
handle Paperwhites to any extent; with
the free trade laws existing it would be
folly for them to attempt to do so as the
French growers, having to cut their flow-
ers, ship the blooms by the trainload into
the London markets at a price far below
what the bulbs would cost. As these
latter are grown in Southern France, an
early maturing district, the blooms
start arriving in England almost as early
as a greenhouse man there could force
them.

In an open season, the French growers
ship such enormous quantities of blooms
across the Channel that the pads of four
dozen bunches, nearly 600 stems, are sold
in the London market for $1 to §2.
Should bad weather occur, prices soar,
but even in February last, French Paper-
whites were available at S6 to $8 a pad.

iSTo American forcer would dream of
buying Paperwhite bulbs if he had to
meet competition of this kind, unless he
wanted to get out of business quickly.

The principal imports of French bulbs
into England comprise Roman Hyacinths
(in large quantity), Freesias and a few
early flowering Daffodils. Such Paper-
whites as are imported are mainly for the
Christmas holiday market and for the
amateur trade.]

minds of our own importers.

Roman Hyacinths

What is the trade going to do this
season with regard to French bulbs?
Last season the prices were so high that
a large proportion of the regular retail
buyers fought shy and let them alone,
with the result that a good many bulb
men had sufficient surplus left on hand
at the end of the season to do away
with all chance of profit.

The French growers were told of this,
and notified that, unless prices were re-
duced this season, there would be a still
further falling off In trade. "We are now
informed that their answer to this has
been to advance prices still further, and
that the present quotations for the larger
sizes are 500 to 650 francs per 1000 in
OUioules. It seems to us, that if the
bulb merchant buys at these rates, and
adds package and carriage and all risks,
that it is impossible for him to sell at
any reasonable figure, at least at such a
price as the public is likely to regard
as such.

It must be considered that to quote ex-
cessive rates is distinctly injurious to
business, provoking suspicion, and lay-

Catalogs Received

Gurney Seed and Nursery Co., Yankton,
S. D. — A Spring and Fall seed and plant catalog
of more than usual interest. Founded in 1866,
this firm is among the oldest and largest of its
kind in mid- West, and is controlled by nine mem-
bers of the Gurney family. Seeds of all kinds are
a specialty and, judging by the illustrations. South
Dakota loses nothing in comparison with other
centers. The Exm has many specialties raised or
selected by Prof. N. E. Hansen of South Dakota,
The Bugless Potato is a step toward the desidera-
tum of all gardeners; we hojie to learn more of it.
Corn and other farm seeds, including a rust-reais-
tant wheat, are featured, also described. Prof.
Hansen too is responsible for the Cossack Alfalfa,
said to be a wonderful variety. The nursery de-
partment is extensive, and Apples on Pyrus baccata
roots attracts our attention. The Siberian Crab
is eminently hardy. New Pears and Plums raised
by Prof. Hansen are also featured, while general
ornamental trees, shrubs, Roses, Dahlias, Peonies,
etc., are given a full measure of attention.

Wethersfield, Conn. — The Charles C.
Hart Seed Co. will soon build a consider-
able addition to its plant located on Main
St. The new building, 30ft. s 60ft., will
be of frame construction, with a concrete
foundation and a slag roof, and will be
three stories in height.

Warford, Conn. — The mail order seed
business, which Kichard D. Murphy has
been conducting in Stamford, will be lo-
cated on the upper floor of the Kundle-
Murphy Co., hardware dealers, some time
late in June. It is planned to conduct the
two departments in conjunction with one
another and when the reorganization has
been completed, articles of incorporation
will be drawn. A corporate name has not
as yet been selected.

Congressman Appleby, of New Jersey,
a member of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency, has introduced a
bill providing for a tax on bank cheques.
If adopted, this measure would levy a tax
of 2c. on all bank cheques, drafts or cer-
tificates of deposit not drawing interest,
or order for the payment of any sums of
money, drawn upon or issued by any bank,
trust company, or any person or persons,
companies or corporations at sight or on
demand ; on promissory notes, except
bank notes issued for circulation, and for
each renewal of the same, for any sum
not exceeding $100, and a like tax on such
notes for each additional $100 or frac-
tional part thereof of their value.

A conference of bankers, business men
and economists will be held here the end
of this week to discuss means for check-
ing the great upheavals and depressions
of the price level which play havoc with
business at regular intervals. Out of this
conference there is expected to grow a
nationwide movement to be known as the
Stable Money League, the purpose of
which will be to stabilize the purchasing
power of the dollar.

The House^ Ways and Means Committee
has made a favorable report on the Long-
worth Joint Resolution designed to give
immediate effect to rates of duty upon
the presentation to the House of the per-
manent bill now tmder consideration. The
effect of this resolution will be to em-
power the Ways and Means Committee
in its discretion to incorporate in the
tariff bill a clause giving immediate effect
to the rates and other provisions con-
tained therein.

Tanylown, (N.Y.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of the
above society was held In the Masonic
Building on May 18. President Jas. Mc-
Donald in the chair. The arrangements
for the Summer and Fall Show were dis-
cussed and the preliminaries were ar-
ranged. The date of the June show will
be the 10th. The Fall Show will be held
in the Music Hall on Nov. 2, 3 and 4.
The schedule is under way, provision being
made for all classes of fruit, flowers and
vegetables to suit all growers.

The exhibits at the meeting were up
to the high standard of quality and quan-
tity. Two prizes were offered; for the
best arranged vase of outdoor flowers,
which was won by John Grant; and one
for the best three vases of perennials,
which was won by Thos. A. Lee; John
Grant, second.

Wm. Graham staged some nice Calceo-
larias, especially Calceolaria Stewarti. Mr.
Graham explained his method of growing
them. Thos. Lee staged some nice Sweet
Peas and flowering shrubs. Alex Ander-
son staged vases of Aquilegia, Salpiglossis
and Pyrethrmn, all of which were judged
according to their merits and awarded
points which are credited to each exhib-
itor in the race for the annual prize
offered by the society for the monthly ex-
hibits. The judges for the evening were
Messrs. E. Weeks, J. Murray and W.Jami-
son. Thos. Wilson, Rec. Sec'y.

Gloucester, Mass. — Charles H. Pulsifer,
for many years engaged in the nursery
business in upper Washington St., died at
the Addison Gilbert Hospital Saturday
night. He was a native of this city, un-
married and in his 63d year.

HuNTSViLLE, Ala. — C. H. Perkins of
Newark and Col. C. H. Burr of Manches-
ter, Conn., two of the leading nurserymen
of the coxmtry visited the nurserjnnen of
this city recently. It is said they are
prospecting for a location suitable for es-
tablishing a large nursery.

Haetfosd, Conn. — George F. Lane re-
cently brought action against Mrs. Ellen
M. Welch and her son, Andrew W. Welch
for using the trade name, "Welch the Flo-
rist." Lane contends that on May 5, 1919,
he bought the co-partnership of Welch &
Lane doing business as "Welch the Flo-
rist," from Richard Phillips, the receiver
of the co-partnership, paying $11,980 for
the business. The defendants maintain
that Welch had abandoned the trade name,
"Welch the Florist." Lane now has a
flower shop on Asylum st. and the Welchs
have one on Triunbull st.

Chrysanthemums

With the rtorist who has his houses full
of bedding stock at present, it is a matter
of making room by the early part of June
wherever he intends benching his early
Chrysanthemums. The main thing about
early 'Mmns is to plant them early; you
can't expect a strong stem and good foliage
on early sorts if they are benched late; you
may get a fair sized flower, but a 3ft. to
4ft. stem is what helps to sell them. Right
now is the time to look over your stock; if
you have all you want in the way of
plants, you needn't worry but if you are
short, obtain good clean 2in. or 2i>^in.
stock, that is of the early sorts. Clean,
that means a lot; the man who starts out
with clean stock has the best chance of
success; it never pays to bench stock
not clean and healthy and when you fill
the benches don't use too much manure.
Chrysanthemums are great feeders, but
only when they are well established in
the benches with the roots all through the
soil and they have made a good growth.
Even then, they don't want overfeeding,
for that is bound to result in sour soil.
Hake uso of a porous sweet soil and use
care in watering; keep the benches well
cultivated, let the soil breathe, it can't
do it with a hard surface or when full
of weeds. To plant them Cin.xGin. looks
a lot with the small plants, but it isn't
enough, for most sorts Sin.sSin. or Sin.
xlOin. will give you a by far greater per-
centage of good flowers and that is what
counts. Get ready for the early ones. A
good start means a whole lot.

Summer Flowers

I claim that the average retail grower
located in the smaller cities and towns
and depending on a local trade doesn't
pay enough attention to socalled Summer

flowers. Wo may say that there isn't
much money in them and, compared with
what is realized during the Winter
months, there may not be, yet the fact
remains that, with each year there is an
increasing demand during the Summer
months for cut flowers and, usually people
don't want Rosea or other indoor grown
stock. They prefer outdoor flowers and
among such Larkspur, Salpiglossis Scabiosa,
Centaurea, Asters, Gladioli, Gyp.'^ophila
elegans. Zinnias, Everlastings, Dahlias,
Calliopsis, Schizanthus and Calendulas are
just a few of the many varieties suitable
for that purpose. The present is a good
time to either sow seed, plant bulbs or
tubers as the case may be. To sow a few
rows of Marigolds doesn't cost much, yet
aside from the show the plants will make,
there may be occasions when the flowers
may come in very useful. Plant enough
of each and have flowers to cut all Sum-
mer up to the time your early Chrysanthe-
mums come in. Salpiglossis and Summer
Larkspur sown now will give you plants
to cut from for months and several sow-
ings of Hunnemannia, every florist should
make. If you plant Gladioli of the good
sorts and they flower at a time when the
market is overstocked with Gladioli and
you can't sell your flowers to advantage,
don't cut them, let them remain on the
plants to make a show and lift them later
on. You can save the bulbs for another
year. The same with Dahlias, but plant
enough of everything in case you do need
flowers.

Selecting Stock Plants

While the benches are still full of bed-
ding stock is the proper time to select
your stock plants of whatever you may
need. No greater mistake can be made than
to sell everything possible and bed out
what may be left for stock to propagate
from. This is particularly true of Gera-

niums. I am convinced that if one keeps
on selecting from year to year plants
which on account of not having been in
flower, didn't sell or such as are sickly
will mean in time to obtain worthless
stock. I have seen such stock. Only by
selecting the very best plants and keep-
ing it up from year to year, can you hope
to have results. If a Geranium isn't good
enough to sell it surely isn't good enough
to set aside for propagating purposes. The
smaller grower in particular is tempted
by being offered a good price to let his
good plants go out and be satisfied with
almost anything to plant out later for his
own use. With Chrysanthemums you
can't do better than to plant out into
the field, a good number of all your bread
and butter varieties to be used for stock
plants next Winter. Let them have the
open ground and clean, sweet soil free
from manure or fertilizer; it is bound to
result in healthier stock than when grown
year after year in benches in heavily ma-
nured soil. You will be money ahead by
paying the best attention to all of the so-
called stock plants.

Boston Ferns

There may be a bench to spare dur-
ing the Summer months, or one you don't
know as yet w^hat to use for. You will
do well to consider Boston ferns. The re-
tail gi'ower hardly ever has an overstock
of good ferns during the Winter months
and especially at present when there ex-
ists a shortage of palms. With a good
stock of ferns you can always do busi-
ness and there isn't anything of easier
culture during the Summer months. Plant
them into five or sis inches of soil on
a bench, with just a little shade, and keep
them well supplied with water. Planted
out in June, plants from 2i/^in. and Sin.
pots will grow into nice specimens by Oc-
tober when they should be potted up and

are rendy in a few days for the counter.
There are many beautiful varieties or
sport.'i of the Bostons, but if you handle
ferns only on a small scale let the special-
ist supply you with anything outside of
the Bostons. If you intend benching some,
locate your reuirements now and have
them on hand by the time the benches
are getting empty of bedding stock. Don't
be under the impression that there ia,
plenty of time; while you can plant into
July and still obtain good results with
tlie Bostons, as with everything else we
grow, every day counts; get the plants
benched early and become established.

Bouvardias

Planting time is here; whether you
want to grow the smaller flowering single
or double sorts or Humboldtii, the sooner
you get them under way the better. Ob-
tain 2 14 in. stock and plant in a coldframe
or bed outdoors allowing 12in. to 15in. of
space between them. Keep on pinching
them back up to August 1 and lift the
plants with a good ball of soil about the
10th or 15th of that mouth to be benched.
Humboldtii will do nicely in a Carnation'
house temperature and usually is through
flowering by Christmas, while the smaller
flowering sorts start to flower a little
later and keep it up longer. They can
also stand three to five degrees more heat.
B. Humboldtii can also be successfully
handled by being planted out of 2%s or
3s, on a bench by the first of June; you
will cut the first flowers during October.
Every retail grower should at least have
a few Bouvardias; there is nothing finer
for corsage bouquets and the beautiful
waxy white flowers of Humboldtii with
their orange blossom scent can be suc-
cessfully grown in even the smallest es-
tablishment. While as old as the hills,
it is not nearly enough appreciated.

Left-Over Hydrangeas

We have a few plants that either failed
to flower or made poor heads. Can we
plant' out and make good stock of them
for next Easter?— F. D. T. J., N. Y.

— Cut back fairly hard and plant right
into the ground. The plants will prob-
ably make more wood than you need with-
out further pinching. Late pinching would
result in unripe wood. For earliest forc-
ing, the plants are best in pots and
plunged and for your purpose, it may be
better to repot, giving a bit of fresh soil
and start them in the frame before setting
in the open. A little discretion in
handling and lifting before frost will in-
sure good stock for forcing.

German Dahlia Lore

There recently came into our hands the
October 1930 issue of a German garden-
ing publication, Gartenschoenheit, pub-
lished in Berlin, in which a number of
pages are devoted to the Dahlia — its his-
tory, cultivation and lists of varieties.
The articles are splendidly illustrated
with halftones of large size and charming
color plates, and altogether the presenta-
tion makes a strong appeal to lovers of
the Dahlia.

Stem Rot on Delphiniums

Kindly say what can be done to check
stem-rot on Delphiniums. — J. T., N. J.

— We have no knowledge of any par-
ticular disease affecting Delphiniums, ex-
cept mildew, and we would suggest you
send a sample to the New Jersey State
College, New Brunswick, and have the
trouble diagnosed. We assume your plants
are under glass, and it is quite possible
that some recognized disease has developed
a liking for the Delphinium. In the mean-
time you might try dusting with sulphur
or spraying with Bordeaux mixture.

British Carnation Society

The Carnation Year Book, 1921, owing
to the enormous printing costs, lacks the
size and the quality of its predecessors of
pre-war days; the stiff covers and the
glazed paper are absent, and the number
of pages less.

The general contents, however, are good.

and it is evident that the British people
are steadily renewing their interest in.
Carnations. The large number of new va-
rieties registered and the laudatory report
of the Floral Committee regarding some
of the new seedlings, indicate, too, that
raisers are making big strides. This com-
mittee is busy on a classification, of Car-
nations, the 190 varieties now under test
at Carl Engelmann's nurseries affording
the committee an opportunity to study the
peculiarities of each variety under simi-
lar conditions. Some thoughtful views on
"Building a Plant" are expressed by S. A.
Paacoe of the Eoyal Gardens, Windsor.

Other important, though brief, articles
are: "The Development of the Carnation,"
by M. C. AUwood; "Soils and Manures,"
by E. A. Usher, one of the cleverest pri-
vate Carnation growers in England;
"Carnations in South Africa," by E.
Bray; "Culture and Usefulness of Carna-
tions for Decoration," by T. Pateinan, a
leading star among private growers, and
"Carnations at Washington, D. C," by
T. A. Weston. ' ^

An interesting letter from E. M.
Draps, a Belgian grower whose entire out-
fit was destroyed by the Germans, shows
that he is now rebuilding. A number of
the British growers are sending him a
gratis supply of young stock.

The book is freely illustrated with
photographs of the novelties shown at the
December exhibition.

Root Maggot Remedy

Insures a good crop of

Radishes, Kale, Cabbage, Onions
Turnips, Cauliflower Etc.

Magotite acts as a preventive
by repelling the Fly, which lays the
eggs from which the maggots are
hatched. It also destroys maggots
which are already in the soil. It
has proved very effective in com-
bating Earth Worms of all kinds,
the Strawberry Crown Borer, Cab-
bage Worms, Asparagus Miner,
Flea Beetles, Cut Worms and all
kinds of Slu^.

Simply sprinkle in and over the
drills when seeding, and around the
roots when planting, and after the
plants are through it is sprinkled
around and alongside of them.

It is not injurious to plant life in
any way, but on the contrary is a
valuable stimulant and fertilizer.

A 4-lb. package will cover about
300 feet of drill, mixed with soil
at planting time, with an occasional
top dusting as a preventive during
the growing period. For Field
Culture the approximate quantity
required is from 300 to 500 lbs.
per acre.

The Market

This last week in Louisville has
been a good one according to the majority
of the local florists. The slump in trade
that was looked for shortly after Mother's
Day and Derby Day, failed to material-
ize; business has been excellent since
that time. Funerals have been numerous
of late and the demand for cut flowers has
far exceeded any previous record of the
year. Several large out of town funerals
kept the florists buey during the first

Eart of the week, and the latter part has
een given over to the van of the wed-
dings that always come with late May and
June.

The season's supply of Roses has burst
forth in full strength, and it is said that
a more beautiful and complete stock of
flowers has never been seen. Special care
has been taken with the plants this year,
for it has been the object of all to make
this a perfect season. Although there
has been a perfect crop and the bushes
have produced beyond expectation, prices
are satisfactory, ranging from $1.50 for
small Cecil Brunners and corsage flowers
to $5 for long stemmed American Beauty,
Columbia and Sunburst; better prices
have not been seen for some time. The
crop of long stemmed Wards has been
especially good this year and the flowers
are showing a good, rich, uniform color.
Carnations are just about gone, and al-
though there is still a fair demand for them,
the flowers have become so small that the
majority of greenhouse men are pulling
nU of their plants. With the decrease in
size has come a drop in price, and florists
say that it is hard to get the $1.25 per
doz. that they are asking. The last quo-
tation before this last week's drop was

$1.75, which was a drop of 75c. from the
price that held on Mother's Day.

The demand for porch boxes, which has
been good for several weeks, reached a de-
gree of "rush" during the last few days.
Geraniums, which have been rather scarce
this year, are becoming more plentiful,
and they are a big feature in the porch
bos trade. Two years ago, the market
was so flooded with Geraniums that the
wholesale florists refused to grow them,
and last year there was a shortage. This
has been rectified, however, and while
there are not a great many plants to be
had, the demand can probably be filled.
A better price is prevalent and as high
as §3 and $4 per doz. is being asked for
the plants.

Florists* Meeting

The May meeting of the Kentucky
Society of Florists, held at the Hotel
Henry Watterson last week, was addresed
by S. A. Kost, of the William F. Kasting
Co., Buffalo. Plans for a commission
house were talked over, but action was
postponed until the next meeting. It is
the object of the society to incorporate
for the erection of a commission house
that will handle all wholesale orders
placed by florists throughout the city.

Nevs Notes

Peonies are arriving in good shape
and dealers say that they are right for
Memorial Day. The .wholesalers are hold-
ing up the supply to a certain extent and
prices are expected to be good at that
time. The plants are exceedingly good
this year, although there is not the quan-
tity that there was last year.

August Baumer, local florist, attended
the Grand Commandery of Kentucky Con-
clave, at Mt. Sterling, Ky., this week. He
reported a good time and told of a good
business done by F. L. Himiphrey, Mt.
Sterling florist, during the conclave. Mr.
Humphrey said that his business had been
exceedingly good this year and was in-
creasing rapidly.

E. G. Peimer & Son report dandy busi-
ness and prospects for a very good season.
They are cutting unusually good Yellow
Hammer Gladioli. They have been nurs-
ing this stock along with particular care,
and the efforts have been rewarded by
the finest supply of blossoms that they
have ever seen.

W. T. Taylor, formerly with Brown-
hurst's, Ashe vi He, N. C, has moved to
Louisville and is now with the F. Walker
Co.

P. E. Wieland, of the Ehner B. Swen-
son Co., advertisers, was in town this week
and brought with him several novel ad-
vertising features for the local florists.

L. E. England, Evansville, Ind., dropped
in to see H. G. Walker this week and
told of his Dahlia crop. Frost, during
the last few weeks, damaged his crop to
a certain extent, and only about a one-
third crop has been produced so far.

H. G. Walker tells of a supply of 30,000
Dahlia plants that he has grown. They

are producing juet about a one-half crop.
Mr. Walker said that they would prob-
ably last over Memorial Day. He is ship-
ping them now to different parts of the
State.

Adam Heitz, on Barrett ave., has just
erected a new greenhouse and has filled
it in with Calendulas and Sweet Peas.
The greenhouse measures 150ft.x23ft.

Dave Weller, manager of the retail di-
vision of the William Walker Co., is one
of several witnesses against Magistrate
J. J. Bunnell, who has been indicted by
the Grand Jury, on charges of settling
cases out of court and keeping costs in
such cases. Two fines of one cent and $9
in costs were paid by Weller for technical
violations of motor laws. A. W. W.

The Kumane Society Parade

Gude Bros. Co. decorated the float
which was drawn by sis horses. The float
was 30ft. long, 8ft. wide, and had a per-
gola erected on top, covered with climbing
Roses, American Beauty and pabns. On
this float the President's dog, "Laddie
Boy," led the animal parade. Needless
to say, this float created much favorable
comment throughout the entire parade.
This parade was held Friday afternoon.

(Extract from the "Florist's Review,'* September 28, 1919).

"I have been much impressed with some of the new Cannas that I have tried this Sum-
mer, and cannot refrain from mentioning two. These are The President and Snow Queen.
President is by all odds the best red Canna today, larger and better than Firebird and a free
bloomer; the foUage is strong and does not burn, as does that of Firebird. Those who have
tried Firebird and lamented that it would not do on account of diseased foUage will rejoice to
know that at last we have a Canna that is 'right.' " — Floyd BraUiar. "The most sensational
introduction of recent years." — From anothtr firm'.* catalog.

Why Dye Sweet Peas?

The recent advertising of

McClenahan's Yellow Flower Dye

prompted a reader of The Exchange to ask the above
question. Here's the answer in SEVEN REASONS:

(1) There is no real yellow, apricot or burnt orange Pea
supplied by nature.

(2) The public has a liking for these colors and shades and
buy them repeatedly just as they do lavender, pink, etc.

(3) The greater the variety of desirable colors the more
Peas the retailer will sell.

(4) Quantities of white or light pink Peas are only required
occasionally and the dyeing process fits in at all other times.

(5) In many designs such as that of the "Eastern Star"
yellow flowers that stand up well are needed. Here's where the
yellow Carnation gives admirable service.

(6) Yellow, apricot or burnt orange Peas with dark blue
or purple in corsage work will raise the standard of your art.

(7) The cost is almost nil. One quart will dye about
2500 Peas or Ic. per bunch of 25.

The dye keeps indefinitely in dry form, dissolves instantly
and one solution will last from one to two weeks.

Price, sufficient for one quart, $1.00, prepaid
Six for $5.00.

General Nbtts

May 21. — Trade conditions are not
any worse than for a corresponding time
last year; in fact, as a whole, they are
better. The stores all seem to have about
as much work as they have stock to take
care of andj while they do not handle
plants in quantity, they sell a fair pro-
portion of those used.

The market trade is more than busy
wdth both vegetable and flowering plants;
anything with a bloom sells almost at
sight.

Peonies are coming about right for
Memorial Day and both the B. F. Barr
establishment and Ira Landis will have
them in quantity, a^ they grow them by
the acre.

Mr. Langhans of the Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co. was a visitor the past week
looking up stock for Memorial Day, call-
ing on most of the growers. He was rather
surprised to find my place given over en-
tirely to Geraniums, the place as he said
that had supplied them with high grade
Carnations for so many years.

Visitors to Chas. B. Herr will remember
the trick dog that was part of _ the show
place. This dog, known as Trix, passed
into his rest last November, is followed by
a puppy named Trix No. 2, who is being
drained to fill the place of Trix No. 1.

Xancaster County Tlorists Ass'n

A dinner meeting was held last
week at the Brunswick Hotel, when 35 of
the craft gathered around the tables with
their ladies. After the coffee, the meeting
was opened with a general discussion on
the coming Flower Show, and the follow-
ing committees were appointed to carry
^the same to success: B. F. Barr, general
.chairman; publicity, Albert M. Herr and
Walter Markley; decorative, Lemon Lan-
.,dis and A. F. Strickler; wholesale divi-
sion, M. J. Brinton, Elmer Weaver and
-Chas. B. Herr; retail division. Jack
Moore, Mrs. Geo. Goldbach and Miss Car-
rie Stecltman; financial, Harry Rohrer
-and J. Du Barry Heinitsh; reception,
'-^IfS. A- H- Herr, Mrs. B. F. Barr, Mrs.

Ira Landis, Mrs. Elmer Weaver, Mrs.
A. K. Rohrer and Miss May Brenneman.

E. C. Vick gave us some good pointers
on the conducting of a show as experienced
by him in the Dahlia Society and gave a
very instructive talk on publicity and
show matters.

John Moore, a Rotarian visitor to his
brother, Jack Moore of the Rosary, in a
few remarks, seemed to think we were
working along the right lines by cutting
out all commercial features and making
it an educational show exclusively.

Mother's Day was discussed from two
sides, production and selling; B. F. Barr
advocated the idea of cutting Carnations
back to have them come in heavier crop
for this day. Chas. B. Herr and Ebner
Weaver, two large growers, claimed this
to be impractical and that weather condi-
tions were alone responsible for the short-
age of cut flowers. The use of more plants
was suggested as a help out, but some of
the members seemed to think that a plant
did not quite carry the proper sentiment.

Walter Markley, sales agent and pub-
licity man for the B. F. Barr establish-
ment, was elected to membership in the
club.

The Program Committeee reported ar-
rangements for a visit to the Du Pont
gardens for the June meeting.

The following ladies won prizes in the
drawing contest; Mrs. B. F. Barr, Mrs.
Lemon Landis, Mrs. Rudolph Nagle, Mrs.
A. K. Rohrer, Mrs. E. P. Hostetter, Mrs.
Phares Hostetter and Mrs. J. Moore.

Pittsburgh, Pa.

The Market

May 23. — The past week was a pe-
culiar one in the local market, due to
the fact that the annual flood of Peonies
set in just about two weeks earlier than
usual. It is the first time in years that
the local crop has come in before Memor-
ial Day, but unless the weather moder-
ates to a great extent, the entire crop
will be done before that day. The late

I frosts do not seem to have hurt the crop
to any extent in this district and the
growers are sending in some fine stock.

The Peonies in addition to an extra
heavy cut of Roses and Carnations made
a top heavy market and prices came
do^vu with a bang, and the wholesale
houses were not talking stock by the hun-
dred but by the thousand and, what is
more, they were moving it too, but in some
cases at very low prices.

The supply of Roses is heavier than at
any time since Easter, while the quality
I is as good as it has been this season. The
Carnation supply is heavy, but some of
the stock is beginning to show the ef-
fects of the warm weather. The supply
of Easter Lilies is about equal to the
demand, while Callas are about done for
this season. Gladioli are good property
and clean up on sight at good prices;
Snapdragon is slowing up and is about
through.

The warm weather has about finished
the Sweet Peas, and what few are com-
ing in are unfit for sale. The demand for
orchids and Valley is light and it is with
difficulty that either are moved at all.
Other seasonable stock moves slowly and
helps to over-crowd an already congested
market.

The stores are all busy with bedding
stock and, from all reports this end of the
business is the largest in years.

The Pittsburgh district has been one of
the last to feel the business depression,
but it has finally reached us. In spite of
that, we are all looking for the largest
Memorial Day business in the history of
the trade.

Around About

Abe Krongold, proprietor of the
A'ictoria Flower Shop is at the Presby-
terian Hospital, where he has had an op-
eration performed on one of his eyes. At
the last reports, he was getting along
nicely.

The local wholesale houses do not need
to worry whether their Peonies will make
it for Memorial Day or not; their worry
this year is, will the crop last until then?

The Blind Floral Co. reports sold out on
all bedding stock for this season, and niost
of the local growers report the same thing.

Homer Wood and Clarence Phillips of
the McCallum Co. are on a short fishing
trip, but they will be back in time to
assist with the firm's increased business
for Memorial Day.

"Wm. Wampler has taken hold of his
new position as manager of the Cut Flower
Department of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower
Co., and has the best wishes of all the
trade.

Earl Ludwig of The E. C. Ludwig Floral
Co. is again to be found in the lineup of
the Bellevue Baseball team. Earl be-
lieves in a certain amount of recreation
with his work, and using him as an ex-
ample would help us all. E. C. Tipton.

Worcester, Mass.

May 23. — The May exhibition of the
Worcester County Horticultural Society
brought out some very fine exhibits and
was well patronized. Table decorations
were the feature of this show, some novel
arrangements being staged. Among those
especially attractive were Iristhorpe,
Allen Jenkins, gd., with Clarkia and
Gypsophila, and Mrs. Percy Forbes, with
a well arranged table of vmk and white
Sweet Peas. Lange used Schizanthus and
Ophelia Roses with excellent effect.

A garden of Tausendschoen Roses,
Thuya, and Otaksa Hydrangeas, with sun-
dial in center, exhibited by Lange, occu-
pied the middle of the hall, and Iristhorpe
had an attractive arrangement of foliage
plants on the stage. Mrs. Bayard Thayer,
Wm. Anderson, gd., had a nice exhibit
of Lilium regale, and Lange showed won-
derful spikes of Golden Pink Antirrhi-
niun.

A welcome rain greeted us this morning
after two days of intense heat, the mer-
cury going up to 95 deg. in the shade.

We are all on our toes ready for a
strenuous week. My prediction of an in-
adequate supply for Memorial Day ex-
pressed in the last issue is surely coming
true, sorry to say. One of the largest
growers in the county, the Leominster
Floral Co., had sold out clean, the middle
of last week, with, some orders not filled.

WORCO.

Ithaca, N. Y.

Department of Floriculture, Cor-
nell University

Professor E. I. Wilde, of Pennsyl-
vania State College, is doing some special
work in the Department of Floriculture,
under the direction of Professor E. A.
White and Dr. A. C. Real.

A. W. W. Sand, who is working on the
genus Iris, spent a week in New, York and
Philadelphia, where he made a special
study of the varieties in flower at the
present time. He was given valuable as-
sistance by John C. Wister, president of
the American Iris Society.

Professor E. A. White, head of the De-
partment of Floriculture, will leave for
Europe in the near future. He expects
to spend some time at the Kew Gardens,
and from there he will go on to Holland,
Belgimn and France.

The Rose Test Garden is in excellent
condition, and the material came through
with a much smaller percentage of injury
than usual. The Peonies, Iris and Phlox
are also in fine shape for this season of
the year. S. C. Hubbard, who is in charge
of the Test Gardens, says that the Peonies
will be better than they have been for a
good many years.

Harold A. Pratt, who is temporarily in
charge of the greenhouses at the Mass.
Agri. College, will return to Ithaca some
time next month to resume his duties in
the department.

Trade Note

Arthur Bool, who is in charge of
the growing for the Bool Floral Co., has
a wonderful collection of bedding stock
for the-Spring trade. He also has a fine
lot of Cincinnati Begonias ready for ship-
ment. Ralph Roskelly, who is in charge
of the store, reports a considerable in-
crease in his Mother's Day business over
previous years. The average run of busi-
ness also shows an improvement.

Montreal, Que.

Memorial Day Doings

Montreal has its Memorial Day on
May 24, when flowers are used extensively
by the army and navy veterans. This
year, 'quite a large program is mapped
out by the officers of the Last Post Fund.
Airplanes are to be used, sacks of flowers
taken up by the birdmen and scattered
over moniunents and graves of, our heroes
of the army, and some on the water for
our navy dead. Flowers are to be sent
to the gun carriage on Philips SqU'are
near the King Edward Monument. ■

The Rotary Club of Montreal has had
on view a memorial piece in the shape of
a Rotary Wheel; this was a fine piece of
work, made by Mr. Ferguson of Hall &
Robinson, the wire design being the work
of J. K. Bellon, wire chief of the Mon-
treal Floral Exchange.

Patal Accident to Pioneer Quebec
Florist

Mrs. Thomas Lemieux, the well-
known florist, died at the Hotel Dieu
Hospital, on Friday, May 20, at the age
of 65 years, the result of an accident.
The deceased lady was standing on the
veranda at her home on St. John st. when
the railing broke, and she fell headlong
into the yard, a distance of about 15ft.
A horse in the yard took fright and
bolted, the wheels of the vehicle passing
over her head. She was taken to the
Hotel Dieu Hospital, but never regained
consciousness. The deceased only recently
paid a visit to Montreal, at which place
she was well known. Her husband pre-
deceased her several years ago. She is
survived by two sons and five daughters,
the youngest having assisted her mother
in the store at Quebec.

Florists' Meeting

The executive of the Montreal Gar-
deners and Florists Ass'n met on Tuesday
evening, May 17, to make arrangements
for a Summer show to be held in the club
rooms on the first Monday in June, also
to arrange for the annual picnic. It was
almost unanimously decided that St. Anns
be selected for this year's annual trip.

Gaffney, S. C. — H. D. Wheat, owner
of the Irene mill and the Irene green-
houses, is building a new greenhouse 35ft.
X 200ft. in addition to the one at Irene
Park. This expansion has become neces-
sary by reason of the large increase in
demand, both locally and from points at a
distance for Irene Park flowers.

Westchester and Fairfield Hort.
Society

The above society lield its monthly
meeting in Hubbard's Hall on May 20. It
was well attended and some splendid ex-
hibits were staged in competitions for the
A. N. Pierson and Troy prizes.

R. Williamson with Calceolaria Stew-
artii, one of the finest plants ever shown,
according to the judges, gained first and
a cultural certificate. A specimen Pelar-
gonium grown by Thos. Aitcheson, came
a close second and was also awarded a
certificate. Vegetables were shoANto in
good form by D. Mclntyre.

The executive committee had on view
the sterescopic lantern that has been pur-
chased for the purpose of giving illustrated
lectures and it is hoped that many edu-
cational and interesting subjects will be
presented in the near future.

There will be special prizes for extra
classes at the next meeting.

George Hewitt, Cor. Secy.

M. Emile Lemoine Honored

Irrespective of nationality, Emile Le-
moine of Nancy, France, has probably
done more in the way of raising plants of
commercial value than any living man; it
would be difficult to recall anyone who
has worked on so many species, the results
of which spread over the entire civilized
world.

In recognition of his services, the
Frencb Grovernment has just awarded M.
Lemoine the decoration of Commandeur
du Merita Agricole. A most distinguished
company gathered at the meeting to do
him honor, when the presentation was
made.

Fortunately, M. Lemoine is an unusu-
ally modest man, otherwise the la\nsh
praise bestowed upon him at the meeting
would have overwhelmed him.

However| the finest thing said of M.
Lemoine cannot be an exaggeration;
many a partj' who has accomplished
nothing has sought and gained greater
notoriety.

Quinine Culture in the Philippines

It is officially reported that large areas
in Luzon and Mindanao Islands are well
adapted for quinine culture. Ten per
cent of the world's quinine is grown in
India, the remainder coming from Java.
Quinine, it may be said, is extracted from
bark of the Cinchona, commonly known
as Peruvian Bark. There are a number
of species, all more or less trees or
shrubby in growth. The nanie Cinchona
was derived from Countess of Cinchona
who was cured of sickness by the bark.

It is safe to saj' that the extract we call
quinine is among the most important of
vegetable drugs. In hot climates quinine,
to the white man is life.

It would be interesting to know how
much quinine was used in the various
Allied armies during the great war, for
we have heard it said that army doctors
prescribed quinine for everything from
ague to a broken leg. In the Mesopo-
tamia and East African campaigns, the
British had regular quinine parades so
that no man could avoid taking his dose.

ii,---

In response to the requests of several readers we
are glad to supply more details and the accompany-
ing sketches of the L-shaped tree root pruner men-
tioned in our Nursery Department article of April
23, and with which implement Hicks Nurseries of
Westbury, N. Y., are able to develop root balls that
permit successful transplanting of trees of all ages
at practically any season of the year.

In the first place, Mr. Hicks does not claim credit
for the invention of the machine which, as a tree
digger, was put on the market by a nurseryman named
Feigley, of Ohio, along about 1890. It is believed that
Mr. Feigley later moved to Indian Territory (now
Oklahoma) where he continued to manufacture the
article, which may be described m the records of the
Patent Office. There were on the market at the same
time this machine appeared. U-shaped dig-
gers such as are stiU advertised and used In
many sections. None of the latter proved
as satisfactory for the root pruning opera-
tions upon which the Hicks nurseries were
then working as Mr. Felgley's taventlon.

The three essential parts of this Im-
plement as shown In the main drawing
are (1) a heavy wooden plow beam 6ft.
long with the usual clevis for attachment
to source of power and an especially strong
well braced pair of handles upon which a
man can safely sit If extra weight is
needed In operating the pruner; (2) a
sledlike attachment used in place of the
coulter of an ordinary plow; and (3) an
L-shaped blade bolted to the under side of
the beam about ISln. from Its rear end.

The sledlike runner (Fig. a) Is made
of two U-shaped pieces of strap iron about
21n. wide, which can be adjusted on the
beam by means of bolts and a series of
holes, and to the bottom of which is
riveted a piece of steel slightly wider than
the plow beam, a little more than a foot
long, and turned up at the front end like
a toboggan. This prevents the end of the
beam from being dragged into the ground
and also determines the depth at which
the cutting or pruning blade works. The
forward attachment of this runner is
fastened to the beam just behind the end
of the clevis strap.

The cutter itself (Figs, b and c) is made of half-
inch steel Sin. wide. At the upper end It Is bent at
right angles so as to form a flange a little wider than
the plow beam, to which it is bolted. At the lower
end it is again bent at right angles, but In the oppo-
site direction so as to make practically a tall upright
z with a broad base and a narrow upper member.
The width of the base at the rear of the blade is 81n. ;
from this widest point it is cut away to a width of
only 2in. at the front. The lower cutting edge is,
therefore, slanting like the knife on a mowing machine
cutter-bar. The height of the blade from beam to bot-
tom knife is 20in. and the front edge of both vertical
and horizontal arms is somewhat sharpened. In the
drawing, (b) shows the front view of the blade, and
(c) a bottom view of It.

Various methods of drawing this implement along
the nursery rows have been tried out at the Hicks
Nurseries with varying degrees of success. In one
instance one block or pulley of a heavy tackle was
attached to a large tree or solid post at one end of
the row, the other block w,is attached to the pruner,
and the free end of the tackle attached to a two
wheeled truck drawn by four hor.ses. At another time,
a gasoline engine and a regular ship's windlass were
employed, the pruner being hauled the length of the
row and then the engine moved on to the nest. In a
heavy or stony soil the draft would, of course, be con-
siderable, especially when the weight of a man or two
is applied to the plow handles to keep the blade buried
its full depth so as to prune the roots of good sized
trees.

In view of the interest shown In the previous article
aliiiut this iniplement. The Exchange would be well
pleased to hear from any one who happens to see this
article and who can supply any information as to Mr.
Feigley, formerly of Ohio — that is, as to whether he
is still in the nursery business and still making and
selling his tree digger, etc. B. L. D. S.

American Azaleas

These begin to bloom about two weeks later than
the earliest Asiatic species, and of the sixteen species
only seven with several varieties are hardy in New
England. These in the order of their flowering are
Rhododendron canadense, the Ehodora, B. Vaseyi,
R. roseum, R. nudifiorum, B. artoreacens, B. calen-
dulaceum and R. viscosum. The other species are con-
fined to the extreme Southern States ; with one species
endemic in Florida, another in Alabama, one In the
Arkansas-Texas region, and one in Callfomia. It Is

Southeastern Illinois and the adjacent part of Mis-
souri, that is in regions of limestone soil, and the fact
that It can grow in lime makes it possible to cultivate
it in parts of the country where other Rhododendrons
cannot grow. There Is a group of these plants on
the right hand side of the Meadow Road In front of
the Lindens. — Arnold Arboretum Bulletin.

[In regard to A. nudifiorum, often called bush Hon-
eysuckle or Pinxter. we may say that this has been
unusually beautiful and prolific in flower, In the
woods near our home location In Northern New Jer-
sey. For the most part, the coloring has been ex-
tremely rich and, for at least three weeks, our tablea
were much enlivened through the utilization of this
beautiful Azalea, the closed buds of which readily
open In water. A recent Issue of The Garden (Brit-
ish) contained an Illustration and an appreciation of
this delightful Azalea which, it was stated. Is the
probable parent of the majority of the hardy Azaleas
in cultivation.]

Appreciation from a Nurseryman

Detailed Drawing of the Hicks Tree Root Pruner

For description see text.

interesting that eight species, one-half of aU the
species which have been fotmd In America, grow
in the State of Georgia, which contains a larger num-
ber of species of these plants than any other region
of equal extent. Plants of all the American species
are in the Arboretum nurseries or have been raised
here with the exception of Rhododendron alaiamense
of which seeds have not yet been collected ; and some
of the southern species, although not for northern gar-
dens, like B. prunifolium with crimson flowers, the
scarlet flowered R. speciosum and the yellow flowered
R. austrinum, may be expected to become popular
garden plants wherever they find a suitable climate.
The handsomest of the species hardy at the North,
and when in flower one of the most beautiful shrubs
of North American flora, is the Appalachian, R. cal-
endulaceum with its yellow or flame-colored flowers
which do not open until the leaves are nearly fully
grown. Another species of the Southern Appalachian
Mountains, B. Vaseyi, with pure pink flowers which
have already opened has proved a good garden plant
at the North. Of the species, however, with rose-col-
ored or pink flowers B. roseum is even a handsomer
plant than R. Vaseyi. Although first distinguished
and named in France as early as 1812, it has always
been confused in this country with other species until
quite recent years, and has never received the atten-
tion which It deserves. It Is a shrub from 3ft. to 15ft.
tall with rose-colored fiowers which open after the
leaves begin to unfold, and are more fragrant even
than those of R. viscosum. This Azalea is common In
Southern New England and southward to Virginia ;
it grows in Western New York, Northeastern Ohio,

It Is gratifying, certainly, to find that
one's effort to make certain features of
one's work useful and helpful are succeed-
ing in just the ways that one hoped they
would. It is. If anything, even more sat-
isfying to discover that one's work Is bear-
ing fruit and being appreciated in ways
that you had not even thought of.

Such, at any rate, were our feelings at
hearing a nurseryman reader of The Flo-
rists' Exchange state that, in his esti-
mation, it is the best nursery trade paper
published. We admit that we have been
striving to make Its regular nursery pages
and the additional editorial nursery fea-
tures helpful along both practical, Insplra-
/ tional and educational lines. But it was
/j a pleasurable surprise to hear our sub-
•^^ scriber continue somewhat as follows: "I
read the paper regularly ; In fact, I keep on
the lookout for it each week. When It
arrives there are two departments that I
turn to first of all — the seed trade reports
from New York and Chicago, and the con-
ditions in the flower markets of the big
Eastern cities. If those barometers of
business conditions in the seed and whole-
sale flower industries report that 'All's
well,' I can look forward to a bright and
happy week ; if the outlook as seen through those
spectacles is dark, I figure that I'm likely to be in
for a gloomy, pessimistls period until the next issue
comes along."

IsThere, After All, Occasion for a Cramton Bill ?

Last week we published, commented on and in all
sincerity condemned the Cramton Bill, now being con-
sidered by a committee of the Congress, which pro-
poses to require the labeling, yes, more than that, the
correct labeling of every plant, tree or piece of nursery
stock, whether grown outdoors or under glass, before
it can be ofEered for interstate commerce. Our atti-
tude was based, not solely upon the protestations made
by Secretary Watson of the A. A. of N., but also on
our belief that nurserymen as a rule are just as desir-
ous of selling and labeling plants correctly as is Repre-
sentative Cramton or any individual purchaser. But
an editorial in the Macon (Georgia) News of May 16
gives us pause and leads us to wonder not whether
such legislation as the Cramton Bill proposes is really
necessary, but rather, whether carelessness, inaccu-
racy and indifference are sulliciently common among
nursery practices, especially as regards naming, to
represent a serious problem, and one that the nursery-
men of the country should take cognizance of to a
much greater and more effective degree than they have
done.

Our contemporary from a State that is well known
in the nursery trade and outside it as a site of exten-

On Tuesday last, F. B. JIcKee, was brought up for
trial before a Baltimore court on a charge made by
The Florists' Exchange of obtaining money under
false pretences. The, prisoner secured a week's re-
mand and trial has been ordered to be resumed next
Tuesday.

American Legion Wreath

Ou another page will be found a picture and de-
scription of an -imerican Legion wreath, the design
of which is likely to become extremely popular when
known. Attention is also directed in our New Xork
City notes to the use of a blanket of live Poppies for
one occasion, to the strewing of flowers in the North
River, and to a huge wreath to be hung on the Statue
of Liberty, in New York harbor, both the latter on
Sunday, Jlay 29.

The membership campaign of the Society of Ameri-
can Florists is well started and committees are at
work in every direction. Florists and others inter-
ested in this great society of ours who, on account of
their location, may not be reached by the committees,
will do no better than to send in their application to
The Florists' Exchange, which will be only too glad
to take care of them. The annual dues are $5. Life
membership is $50. but new members desirous of be-
coming life members must also pay ?5 for the first
year.

We acknowledge, we deplore and we apologize for
the lapsus lingua, typographical error, oversight or
whatever it was that resulted in our attributing
JIacou, source of our esteemed contemporary, the
Macon Xejts, to Alabama instead of Georgia. And
in this case we employ the proofreader's as well as
the editorial "we." In the same breath we express
our appreciation of the amused, philanthropic for-
bearance with which the Keics forgave us — but, we
wonder, are we not in line for a word of thanks from
some representative of the State of Alabama for the
compliment we paid that Commonwealth? We ask
you, aren't we?

In Northern New Jersey on Saturday morning last.
May 21, Rhododendrons were in nearly full bloom.
Sunday came in extremely hot. the thermometer regis-
tering well above SO deg. before noon and 90 deg.
I shortly after. In the early afternoon it was noticed
! that the Rhododendron flowers in full bloom at that
time had completely wilted. Buds, which had not yet
opened showed on the Monday that they had not suf-
fered in the same way. Is the lesson to be drawn from
this that Rhododendron blooms will not stand a sud-
,, den jump in temperature, those in question having
j' developed under a temperature at the highest of some
M 60 deg. to 65 deg.? Will some Rhododendron specialist
explain?

"Every Member Get a Member"

"Do a good deed every day" is one of the rules
lived up to by every good Boy Scout. Does he con-
sider it too difficult a task, or an unfair request?
Not he. After a little, the doing of a daily good deed
becomes a habit — and the Scout is just that much
bigger and stronger and happier.

"Buy a book a week" is the modern slogan of the
progressive publisher. It is meeting with a warm
and sympathetic reception from' the public which, like
the Boy Scout, is "getting the habit'' and benefiting
thereby.

"Every member get a member" is a war cry about
which you have already heard, but of which the tale
will not be fully told until the next S. A. F. conven-
tion. The po'int is, go at it in the same way the Boy
Scout and the reading public are acting on their sug-
gestions. Set yourself a quota of one new member
at least every fortnight, better still every week, best
of all, every day. The more you get the easier yon
will find it to awaken the enthusiasm of others — and
the greater will be the benefit accruing to yourself
and to your organization — the S. A. F.

Flowers and Children— Opportunity for Florists

"Wise parents," said Secretary of Agriculture Henry
C. Wallace, at the dedication of an entrance gateway
to the Missouri Botanical Garden at St. Louis, on
May 10, "as they have opportunity bring their chil-
dren in contact with Nature in her varied forms. They
take them to the mountains, that they may see Nature
in her more rugged aspects; that they may see with
their own eyes evidences of the mighty forces which
were at work when the land was shaped. They take
them to the rivers and to the sea, that they may see
God's hand upon the waters; now in repose, again
lashed into fury by the winds. They take them to the
fields and to the forests, that they may have some
understanding of our dependence on the soil. They
bring them to places such as this [the Botanical Gar-
den] where plants of almost endless variety of form
and color, fragrance and beauty, appeal to the finer
emotions and thus develop a love of the gentle and
beautiful which influences thought and action through-
out life, and which adds largely to the capacity for
happy living."

— .^nd if, we may add, it is for any reason impos-
sible for parents to bring their children to such places,
it is still possible — thanks partly to Nature and partly
to the florists — to take flowers and plants in almost
as great variety to those children — into their homes
and into their very lives.

Here is another thought that brings up anew the
realization of the opportunity, the privilege and the
duty that confront our trade.

International Flower Day — Hero's Day

A Good Idea — If Started Right

"Oh, young Lochinvar came out of the West," ac-
cording to the old country ballad, and out of the
West, also, has come the latest suggestion in regard
to another possible Red Letter Day for florists. To
be exact it is the Southwest, this time, and the medium
is our esteemed contemporary, The Southern Flori.st
which, in several recent issues, has brought forward
the suggestion that Nov. 11 be celebrated as Inter-
national Flower Day.

This suggestion came to The Florist in a series of
letters from a Texas minister's wife — a Mrs. Simeon
Shaw — who wants the whole world to honor its sol-
diers, both living and dead, with floral tributes on
what we have come to know as Armistice Day. She
has apparently approached President Harding, the
War Department and her Congressman on the sub-
ject, but, so far as we can learn, has not worked out
any particular details whereby the result she seeks
can be brought about.

We applaud, naturally and spontaneously, any sin-
cere attempt to broaden the use of flowers and espe-
cially so by giving deserved recognition to bravery
and patriotism. But there are a couple of points that
we would call to our reader's attention in this connec-
tion.

In the first place, our issue of April 12, 1919. con-
tained a letter from a Mrs. George Wolfrum of New
.Tersey, urging that Nov. 11 be fittingly celebrated with
flowers, as Hero's Day ; also an editorial comment on
the proposal. In all its essential features — except
that the earlier idea was national rather than inter-
ternational — the two projects appear identical. Not-
withstanding some little support and commendation,
the suggestion of 1919 has not, to all appearances,
caught on ; we hope that the time is ripe for better
success in the case of the present movement — but we
think it only fair that the previous originator of the
thought receive her due meed of credit.

Secondly, we would remind our readers that a Red
Letter Day is and must always be an effect, not a
cause. If there is the public sentiment to create and
maintain a Hero's Day or a Soldier's Flower Day,
well and good. We and all good florists will get be-
hind it, and the trade will certainly benefit. But the
movement must emanate from and receive its impetus
from the public, the general press — the country as a
whole. There must be no suggestion that any trade
is backing it for the sake of the increased business it
may hold. Without the basic religious motive — of
what permanence would Easter be? In the same way,
when the country wants its Hero's Flower Day it will
have it. And then, we florists wUl help the country
to "Say it with Flowers."

The Two Roads to Profitable Prices

Production Control and Artificial Price Fixing vs.

Sound, Legitimate Business Principles and a

Demand Maintained by Education and

Advertising

Florists who have followed, more or less superfi-
cially, as bits of general news, the disclosures of cor-
rupt practises in the New Xork building trades made
by Samuel Untermyer before the Lockwood investigat-
ing committee, may have overlooked a recent discovery
that has countrywide significance and a close and
serious connection with their business.

Mr. Untermyer, it appears, has brought to light a
nationwide plot on the part of manufacturers of "flat"
glass to restrict production and thereby keep prices
at a high level. This affects not only growers, nur-
serymen and others who buy window glass in large
quantities for their greenhouses and frames, but also
every representative of the wholesale and retail florist
trade who has a show window of plate glass. With
the facts now disclosed, it is "up to" all these citizens,
for their own sakes and pocket books, as well as in
the interests of law and order, to see that these con-
ditions are corrected and those who have been respon-
sible for them made to suffer for their misdeeds.

The main feature of the "plot" is an understanding
on the part of "flat" glass makers that the annual
period of production for any plant shall be limited
to about 28 or 30 weeks, divided into two equal sea-
sons. Each factory is given its seasonal quota, and if
this is completed before the time limit is reached, the ,
plant must shut down that much earlier. Obviously,
this restraint of production with its inevitable creation
and maintenance of high prices, is beneficial to and
favored by the two or more national organizations of
"flat" glass manufacturers. But, inasmuch as the pay '
of the actual workers ceases with the closing of the
plants, it is difficult to see wherein they benefit by
the arrangement or why they continue to stand for it
— ^unless we accept the statement of one witness at .
the Lockwood committee hearing, who said that "the -
workmen favored this shutdown because they pre-
ferred to 'work on the roads' in the warm weather." '
Some, he added, "may go to Atlantic City," but
whether to watch Jack Dempsey train or to "enjoy a
vacation on the boardwalk he did not specify. Pos-
sibly, on the other hand, these workers may not favor
the plan at all, but may simply find themselves under
the thumb of powerful, organized forces and unable
to do anything to help themselves. If so, there is all
the more reason for all good citizens, including flo-
rists and other glass users, to get together, insist on
and help bring about a cleanup In this particular in-
dustry.

Probably, outside of the members of the glass
makers' associations already referred to, there is no
one who can or will defend the combine as briefly
described above. And yet. have we or have we not,
at various times in the past, heard or read suggestions '
that flower and plant production should be controlled
and even limited at certain periods, so as to protect
gluts and unprofitable prices?

After all, it makes a lot of different whose hide is
scratched, as to whether we praise or censure. So '
perhaps it is as well, now and then, to be the goat
and feel the pinch of some one else's unscrupulous self-
interest and commercial manipulation of supplies and
prices. Certainly, control of production in any line — ■
whether flowers, flour, flshhooks or frying pans — takes
on a different and a detestable appearance when
viewed in the light of such disclosures as Mr, Unter-
myer has made.

But shall we then, suffer the pangs and panics of
oversupply, bottomless prices and losses generally,
with no recourse, you cry? Certainly not. The one
condition is as undesirable as the other — and as un-
necessary. For quality goods that meet a legitimate
need there will always be a demaud sufficient to insure
a fair profit for the careful, skillful producer. Com-
petition and the natur;il law of the survival of the
fittest will eliminate the unworthy — as mu.st and
should be expected.

Fur the rest, the repi't'st'iitntive inemhers of the
trade, ttie pr(>l)h»iii is not to curtail production to a
dellnlte. iire-arraiit;ed lliiilt, hut ratiier to produce
etllciently and ecoiiondcally and to wisely, legitimately

simply — education and advertising.

Memorial Day Outlook i

Boston

From present indications, one may feel justified in
saying that Memorial L>a.\' this year will surpass all
former occasions. Not only does the public seem- to
■ be ready to celebrate this day in the fullest sense and.
since the liodies of so many sons, brothers and fathers
have been returned from the battletields to their native
land, with a feeling of reverence and quiet sorrow
never experienced before.

Preparations for this day are far ahead of the
usual; the stores never displayed such large stocl;s of
artificial designs and flowers. While, as a general
rule, wreaths and sprays are no different in design
or shape from other years, in the better stores, at-
tempts have been made and, often successfully, to
create more iusthetic and pleasing forms. One out-
' standing fact is the presence of an abnormal and
seemingly too great amount of made-up goods. Seeing
them in ever.v florist store, iu almost every department
store, in groceries and even in barber shops, gives one
\ a feeling that somebody must get stucl;. The thing
seems to be overdone but it is too soon to say anything
definite at this time.

Cut flowers will, in all probability, be in sufficient
quantity. Tbere will be no shortage of Roses, and
Carnations also may be plentiful enough to go around,
although there are those who doubt it. Feverfew and
Stocks are ou time and in usual amounts ; Sweet Peas
will probably also do their part in relieving the pres-
sure. Callas. Lilies, Snapdragons, Calendulas, etc.,
all are in full evidence, and Lily of the Valley and
orchids will contribute their due share. Outdoor Lilacs,
Spirieas aud other flowering shrubs are now in their
glory, and the flower gardens also are beginning to
look gay.

The trade in plants has started with a will and

large blocks of Hydrangeas, Roses and Spiraeas have

already been disposed of. The greenhouse men expect

• to sell out clean, at satisfactory prices, before the

week is out.

The quality of the plants offered is generally good.
Hydrangea otaksa and the French varieties are fine,
with popular sizes predominant. Roses are also well
flowered; Baby Rambler (Madame Levavasseur) is
more prominent than any other variety. There are
some large blocks of Spiraea (Astilbe) extremely well
done and flowered. These are, in many instances,
grown from roots saved last year, instead of being
thrown away as was usual before the quarantine set
in.

The above mentioned things are the mainstay in the
plant line as far as the sales in stores are concerned.
Geraniums are in a class by themselves. The supply
of these plants is certainly not too great and the
wholesale price varies between $2.50 and $3.50 a doz.
Bedding stock of all kinds can he found at the old
stands at the usual prices.

It is very hard, if not impossible, to get an opinion
on what will be the price of cut flowers. The salesmen
and commission men view with alarm the unprece-
dented amount of artificial goods. They figure that
if all that stuff is sold there will be no money left
in Boston for anything else. We must wait and see.

New York City

At this time, Wednesday morning, it is too early to
determine through inquiries at the retail fiorists'
stores, how much extra business Memorial Day, Mon-
day, May 30, will bring to them, but there are some
present indications that the orders for that day given
to the florists within the city probably will be larger
than those of previous years. This opinion is based
largely upon the supposition that American Legion
posts within and in the vicinity of this city will place
orders with the florists chiefly for wreaths to be
placed upon the graves of those who in the great
world war gave up their lives. It is altogether likely,
however, that as usual, by far the larger number of
orders for flowers for Memorial Day use will go to the
florists who are located close to the large cemeteries
in the vicinity of the city.

Furthermore, there Is, bearing upon the sale of flow-
ers, a fact which should not be lost sight of that many
of the wreaths which will be placed upon the graves
of the soldier dead, will be made up of foliage only or
• of everlasting flowers, such as Immortelles and "sta-
tice. Possibly the retail florists, would be able, should

Fritj Bahr's
Philosophy

There may be Exceptions, but the major-
ity of growers don't Ride in Packard's from
the Overcharging They Do.

A clean way to Beat Your Competitor is
to Let Your Stock Do It.

The Small Grower of today, if he is a Good
One, Won't Stay Smalt long, no matter what
the Price of glass.

You will always know exactly Where You
Are At if you manage to collect and Keep
Paid Up.

The Florida Grower says, "In Union There
is Strike!"

Darwin Tulips don't look quite so attrac-
tive to us if they are in the way when ready
to fill the beds with Geraniums.

A Bank Ad reads, "You can Bequeath
Money but Never Experience !'* — a blessing,
to be sure.

they so desire, to control the matter of what material
enters into these Memorial Day wreaths, so that it
would he more equally divided between fresh flowers
on the one hand and foliage and everlasting flowers
ou the other.

The American Dahlia Society

Arranging for the September Exhibition —

Nomenclature Decisions Committees and

Judges Appointed

-\t the last meeting of the American Dahlia Society
the nomenclature committee decided that the term
"Hybrid Cactus" be left as it now stands, and that
the variety, George Walters, be classed with the Hy-
brid Cactus; also, Mrs. E. W. Estes, Shower of Gold,
and other narrow petaled varieties, and that these be
used as types of that class. The "Decorative Class"
to stand alone without a hybrid class, the narrow
petaled decoratives to go in the hybrid class.

All new Dahlias, if the originators are undecided
as to the class, are to be sent to the trial grounds at
Storrs, Conn., for proper classification.

The classification of the American Dahlia Society as
it now stands is to be continued, except the "Fancy
Class" — the "Fancy Class" to be dispensed with.

The following committees were appointed for the
Dahlia show to be held at the Hotel Pennsylvania,

In our issue of May 14, page 114.S, we published let-
ters from growers of Roses as to the outlook for the
future trade in that direction and the extension of
Rose varieties in view of Quarantine 37. These re-
plies were most encouraging, and left one with the
full hope that the Roses produced in America would
prove superior iu quality to those imported from
abroad, giving greater satisfaction to the amateur
buyer.

It is well understood that, additionally, a large
trade has sprung up since the enforcement of Quaran-
tine ,37 among our commercial Rose growers who,
instead of throwing their discarded Roses on the
rubbish heap as of old, are finding an acceptable mar-
ket therefor.

With no do'ubt as to an active market for all such
material, the principal factor now is to ascertain how
best to prepare this commercial forced stock for the
amateur consumer. Some growers partially rest their
plants by drying them out, then cutting theiu back an(J
planting them out in the field where, after having had
generous cultivation, they are lifted in the Fall and
kept dormant until the Spring demand ensues. Other
growers take them direct from the greenhouse benches
and, after cutting them back, ship them immediately
to the department and other stores, which in turn sell
them without delay to the private consumer.

A number of letters were addressed to commercial
growers, asking their experience in handling this
class of stock. Here is a reply from L. B. Coddington,
Murray Hill, N. J., who sa.vs ;

"We have been selling our bench plants for a num-
ber of years, and the trade this year is heavier than
ever, but we do not seem to trace it to the quarantine
on other nursery stock, but to the fact that we have
given good value for the money, and the orders have
come froiu people who have seen our plants growing.
Whenever there has been dissatisfaction through
plants, we have tried to make good, and we are
pleased to report that the business has become quite
satisfactory, and helps to make ends meet in these
times when labor and fuel are so high."

From Mr. Coddington's letter, it is evident that
these commercial Rose plants have good value, and
undoubtedly their sale is an acceptable factor in help-
ing to pay labor and fuel under prevailing conditions.
Last Summer we saw a numher of such Rose bushes
which had been bought by an amateur who was more
than satisfied with their production of fine Roses.
These were plants which had been rested, cut back,
planted in the field, taken up in the Fall and kept
dormant throughout the Winter.

David Gordon

The local press on Saturda.y, May 20, reported the
death of David Gordon at Chappaqua, N. T.

Mr. Gordon was, for some .vears, head gardener for
Louis Lorillard at Vineland, here, later establishing
himself in the florist business in .lamestown on the
place now owned and conducted by Frank Greneek.
While here, he was active iu the Newport Horticul-
tural Society, in fact was one of the five men who set
it going in 1S90, and is the first of the five to pass
over the stream. He was a native of Scotland — a
good gardener, and an agreeable man.

The Florists' Exchange

(Continued from page 1265)
"But if we were disposed to drop a degree of the
banter and draw a more or less serious conclusion from
the entire discussion we would say that it is high time
the horticulturists, which is to say, more specifically,
the nurserymen, stopped trying 'to chase the shadow
of a shilling around the corner' long enough to pay a
little more attention to the matter of accuracy in label-
ing their stock for the benefit of those who really care
for those things, There really is a great body of the
people of whom it cannot be said, in the language of
Wordsworth's poem.

'A Primrose by the river's brim;

A yellow Primrose was to him,

And it was nothing more.'

"When, in one season, among the most reputable nur-
serymen in the United States, one of them ships a pink
Magnolia instead of a white one (we will not go into
nomenclature here) and does the same thing again in
an effort to correct the error; another ships a yellow
Jessamine for a white one; another sends a white
flowering Almond for a pink; another sends a pink
Lilac for a white, and still another sends a highly
colored Cabbage for a single Sweetbriar Kose, all of
which can only be determined after the planting. It
would seem that the man who has a taste for Primula
veris would be driven, per force, merely to cultivating
yellow Primroses.

"Which does not altogether tend to make for the
highest and most intelligent development of pride and
pleasure in the home grounds."

We assume, naturally, that the cases of wrongful
substitution cited are instances with which the writer
of the eflitorial is personally familiar. If so, either he
or his immediate friends have had more than their
share of the ill results of nurserymen's errors, care-
lessness or inaccuracy, or else those results are of
deplorably frequent occurrence. This would have to
be so for one (presumably disinterested) observer to
come across so many of them in a single season.

We are not ready to concede that a case has been
made, argued and proved against the nursery trade
as a whole; even Secretary Watson's words in last
week's issue do not constitute a defense in this case
because they were general and not in answer to this
newly introduced evidence. Therefore, the case is still
open for discussion with a view to getting commercial
horticulture onto firmer, more secure, more enduring
ground where there can be fewer such indictments
drawn and where there shall be far less occasion for
any.

But we believe that right here is a ripe opportunity
for some careful, fair-minded investigation, discussion
and, if necessary, house cleaning. First of all a rep-
resentative body or committee, as already organized
under the Nurserymen's Association, or distinct from
it if that should prove desirable, should be empowered
to collect all such facts as our Macon correspondent
has referred to, secure all data concerning them and
ascertain if possible where the blame really lies. The
steps to be taken thereafter will depend on the results
of this investigation, according to whether they point
to a number ol specific nurserymen whose methods are
especially lax or merely indicate a more or less coin-
cidental occurrence of a number of unfortunate mis-
takes in one section and over one relatively limited
space of time. In any event, a situation that calls
forth such apparent fair-minded, yet vigorous and
specific criticism, warrants careful study and vigorous
action if abuses are discovered. The good name of
the nursery industry, now and in the future, de-
mand it.

We Thank You, Heartily

A Southern nurseryman sent us the following,
prompted thereto through his experience with the
paper.

"There is no doubt that The Floeists' Exchange
has a large following among the nursery trade. The
fact that it is published weekly, containing many
items that are of kindred interest and applicable to
our trade, should prove a medium of advertising espe-
cially since the florists everywhere are buying nur-
sery stock. The nursery business is rapidly becom-
ing localized throughout the entire country, and a
good planter with a little stock in every town can give
a fair account of himself with little overhead in-
volved. I believe you have struck the right medium
in lining up the florist with the nurseryman, as the
country has not been touched so far as planting pos-
sibilities are concerned. We wish you well."

American Association of Nurserymen

The executive committee of the A. A. of N. has
definitely decided by vote that all members who paid
dues last year are entitled to participate and vote
until the end of the 1922 convention, thus enabling
membership to continue until the officers for that

year are elected and installed. This will probably set
a precedent for the future.

It is altogether likely that at the coming convention
there will be at least two executive sessions, at which
time the members will be able to speak their minds
freely, to thresh out their difl:erences and express
themselves regarding association business, past and
future, free of the participation of non-members.

It is also probable that there may be a day set aside
during the convention for a joint meeting with the
State and Federal entomologists, horticulturists and
others interested in the nursery business.

There will, of course, be certain open sessions, but
it is claimed that the best interests of the membership
will be served by having executive sessions where all
miay speak fully and frankly, as is done in the meet-
ings of the Western Association of Nurserymen, from
which body, it is said, have emanated many of the
progressive, constructive ideas adopted by the Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen.

The Washington Convention

Reservations of space in the Trade Exhibition at
the Washington convention continue to come in and
at this time, approximately eleven weeks in advance
of the convention dates, a goodly portion of the space
available has been reserved. Nine reservations were
made last week, the exhibitors being as follows :

W. N. Woodruff & Son, Lowgap, N. C.

Lion & Co., New Xork City.

Carl Hagenburger, W. Mentor, O.

C. D. Liggit, Philadelphia, Pa.

Duro Paper Products Co., Chicago, 111.

The George Wittbold Co., Chicago, 111.

M. Adler, New York City.

Fruitland Nurseries, Augusta, Ga.

Wertheimer Bros., New York City.

The Membership Drive

The drive for increased membership in the society
is moving apace. Many enthusiastic members are
living up to the slogan of "Every member get a mem-
ber," as is noted in our administration offices by the
memberships sent in. There are few communities in
this country where a fiorist is not on the best of
terms with his neighbors in the trade, and if that
florist is already a member, few words are, or should
be, required to make those outside the fold interested
in our organization and our work. The membership
fee is so small, and the possibilities for benefit so
great that, really, argument should not be a necessity.
Here is our society, organized and standing for the
advancement of our industry in every direction likely
to be productive of good — and, it may be said, the
elimination of everything likely to be derogatory —
ready to take up the problems of the individual mem-
bers of the trade, in so far as they have a bearing on
those of the whole trade, without cost, and with a
backing in the trade which, even today, is powerful.
"What is the extent of your representation?" is usually
the first question asked of our delegations when seek-
ing legislation to advance our industry, or relief from
legislation likely to prove to our disadvantage. We
can hardly hope ever to claim that we are 100 per cent
representative of our industry, but we can and must
advance beyond our present standing, and if this mem-
bership drive attains its object, we shall not have to
be ashamed of our statistics as to trade representa-
tion.

The National Flower Show

A most enthusiastic meeting of the Cleveland local
executive committee, which is arranging details cover-
ing the 1922 National Flower Show to be held in that
city next Spring, was held in Cleveland on May 19.
The secretary is compelled to withhold an account of
that meeting for a few days, but it may be said that
the aims of the National Flower Show Committee were
found quite possible of accomplishment, and the ar-
rangements in progress being vigorously prosecuted.

other organization that has such representation if it
is not worth while. It is fairly well understood now
that, according to the number of members necessary,
depending on florist establishments, in any one
geographical section, an organization can be affected
which will permit of its president coming into the
directorate of the society.

Several sub-committees have been appointed by
various florists' organizations to assist in putting over
this drive. This is a call to urge those committees
on for the final drive and an invitation for those
organizations that have no committee at work to get
busy and join the procession.

Rebate on Return Fare

Secretary Young has sent us copies of communica-
tions from the Western, Transcontinental, New Eng-
land, Trunk Line and Central Passenger Associations,
setting forth the rebates obtainable on return journey
from Washington, D. C, August next. These rates
vary from one-half to one-third off on return. The
rebate offered by the various trunk line associations
will represent worthwhile savings, particularly to
those traveling from points distant to Washington,
D. C.

Due to minor exceptions and limitations operating
in certain territories the most advisable course for
those who are planning to attend the convention is to
consult local ticket offices where fullest information
will be obtainable; all going must understand that
these rebates can only be obtained through requesting
same of agent at time of purchase of going ticket.

New York Florists Club Party

The transportation committee of the New York Flo-
rists Club has arranged for special parlor cars for
members and their friends on a Pennsylvania Railroad
train leaving the Pennsylvania Terminal, Sth ave. and
34th St., New York, Monday, Aug. 15, at 11.08 a.m..
Daylight Saving time, arriving at Washington at 4.30
p.m. A pleasurable trip to the convention city is
anticipated and, in order to have the club delegation
travel as one party, applications for parlor car space
should be sent to Wm. Pedrick, Jr., Division Passenger
Agent, Pennsylvania System, 263 Fifth ave.. New York
City, as quickly as possible. Today is none too soon
for reservations for those who have made up their
minds to take in the convention. On receipt of your
reservations Mr. Pedrick will immediately advise of
location in ear. Tickets may then be purchased (not
before Aug. 1 and not later than 12 noon Saturday,
Aug. 13) at the nearest ticket oflSce where Pennsyl-
vania E. E. tickets are sold.

At the time of buying railroad ticket ask for neces-
sary certificate for the obtaining of the reduced re-
turn fare. No member should fail to secure his certi-
ficate as 350 of these certificates will have to be pro-
duced at the convention to be entitled to the rebate.

We understand that quite a number of the New
York fraternity are planning to motor to Washington
(lucky mortals), and certainly none of us of the less
fortunate clan will turn down an invitation to join
one of the auto parties whether the car be a "tin liz-
zie" or a Rolls-Eoyce. Undoubtedly, however, the
majority going from New York and nearby will travel
by the train selected, and a good sized party in the
best of moods should surely spend a most enjoyable
day together. Needless to say, matters can be helped
along considerably by early reservations, so please
act now in that direction if at all possible.

Working Up for a Vacation

Prefacing his Portland newsletter, our correspondent
says that he has been almost too busy to find time to
look up news items. Memorial Day is immediately
ahead of him as he is writing; this was to be fol-
lowed by the Portland Eose Festival in June, after
which, he says: "We can begin to think of cool,
sparkling waters, fish lines and vacations which tempt
us so at this time of the year. The season has been
an unusually busy one, so that we will all be glad
when we can breathe more freely.- It will, no doubt,
take us a couple of weeks to get used to less rushing
around and hammering away all day at filling orders,
but when the time comes, we can take our share of
the enjoyments out of life that aU too many florists
are apt to pass by."

Gardeners and Florists Club of Boston

The regular monthly meeting of the Gardeners and
Florists Club, held in Horticultural Hall on May 17,
was well attended with President Wm. H. Judd in
the chair.

Alter the reading and acceptance of the minutes of
the previous meeting, resolutions of condolence, pre-
pared upon the death of Frederick C Green, superin-
tendent of Roger Williams Park in Providence, were
ordered sent to the bereaved family and to be spread
upon the record of the club.

Next was read a communication from' Miss Marion
Eoby Case of Weston, in which the members of the
club are invited to attend the lectures, given at Hill-
crest Farm every Wednesday afternoon, beginning
June 22 and ending on Labor Day. These lectures
will include horticultural, sociological, administrative
and other themes by talented men and women.

The exhibition at the Chestnut Hill Club House by
the Chestnut Hill Garden Club, was brought to the
attention of the club by Secretary Wm. N. Craig who
spoke very highly of the affair and who mentioned
that many of the exhibits were as good as were ever
shown in Horticultural Hall. The table decorations,
set up by the ladies of the garden club, found in Mr.
Craig a warm admirer and, he thought were well
worth studying by the members of the Gardeners and
Florists Club, many of whom' are often called upon
to furnish similar decorations for their employers.
Well arranged groups and the exhibit of orchids also
contributed to making the show a great success.

Ladies' Night and a Picnic

The motion was made, supported and carried, to
arrange for a ladies' night in the near future. The
executive committee will take charge of the matter.
Are we to have a picnic this year was the next im-
portant question. The response was unanimously
"Yes" and the executive had this thing also added to
its other burdens. The picnic will probably be held
in June.

A. E. Jenks, field secretary of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, Was elected a member.

Lecture on Trees and Shrubs

President Wm. H. Judd was the speaker of the
evening. His lecture on "New and Desirable Trees
and Shrubs lor New England" was a treat to the mem-
bers of the club. Mr. Judd is thoroughly familiar
with his subject and with the climate and many par-

tieular features of the situations and problems as
presented in the New England territory. Therefore
his words carried weight and proved convincing. He
illustrated his lecture with many live samples ol twigs
and branches Irom the vast collection ol trees and
shrubs in the Arnold Arboretum where he has held a
responsible position for years. Mr. Judd started his
lecture with the description of the earliest blooming
trees and shrubs and proceeded in this way to the
end ol the season.

Space will not allow an enumeration ol the great
number of subjects which Mr. Judd presented to his
eager listeners, suffice it to say that a better, more con-
cise or more profitable lecture is hard to imagine.

The lecturer was given a hearty, rising vote of
thanks.

The Exhibits

A very creditable display of exhibits graced the
table as follows : W. W. Edgar Co., Spirsa Gladstone
and Yellow Marguerites in pots ; W. H. Golby, Prim-
ula BuUeyana and double blue Centaurea; W. H.
Judd, flowering branches of trees and shrubs ; James
Metven, display of hybrid Aquilegias; James Donald,
Sweet Peas, Purple King and new Miriam Beaver,
Tulip Gesneriana lutea. Potato Alaska, and Cauli-
flower, Earliest Dwarf Erfurt; A. Leuthy Co., Lily of
the Valley; Wm. N. Craig, Tomatoes Sterling Castle
and Victory; Frederick Cave, Cypripedium acaule in
pots and C parviflorum ; Blue Hill Nurseries, Trol-
lius asiaticus, T. Orange Globe, T. europieus Elinor,
T. japonicus Excelsior.

After the usual indulgence in refreshments, the
meeting adjourned.

Trade interests are frequently important factors in
shaping an opportunity that would call for a fully
capable gardener to fulfill. A successful business man
acquires a country property, knowing that he requires
a gardener in some capacity to maintain it, and that
he must seek a seedsman or a nurseryman for his
first intimation — for, as to all other requirements, he
is wholly in the dark unless he has secured the serv-
ices of a landscape gardener. He will be influenced
by the first advice he receives, whether a gardener is
entitled to $150 a month, or from $70 to $80 a month.
01 course, we imow no reliable gardener can entertain
the last named figures.

The landscape gardener and the intelligent, practical
gardener, are becoming better acquainted with one
another and recognize that there is a field for both
ol them. The gardener ol the future will be well
provided for, as the Gardeners National Association
has plans afoot to be submitted at the 1921 conven-
tion in New York, Oct. 4 to 6, which will include a
study course to qualify young men lor the profession.

What the horticultural interests should do is to
combine and cooperate to bring about opportunities
that our noted horticulturists can develop, thereby
creating greater public interest in ornamental horti-
culture, and in the gardening art in general.

Trained Gardeners Available, Opportunities
Lacking

It seems that, every so often, the timeworn subject,
"Where Are Our Gardeners of the Future to Come
From?" is brought lorth lor a general airing and dis-
cussion. The motives are various, and occasionally
tend to the mercenary, while usually, and unfortu-
nately, creating the impression that the profession of
■gardening is on the wane, when quite the contrary is
the fact. The argument that few sons of gardeners
are found to follow their fathers' footsteps can be
answered by showing that conditions are not found
different within the law, ministry or scientific voca-
tions.

Actual contact between the employer or employee
for a number of years past has disclosed that there
are many highly efficient and absolutely reliable gar-
deners who are misplaced in positions, where they
will never have a chance to present their skill as mas-
ters of their craft, while some unscrupulous and in-
capable gardeners are in charge ol places whose own-
ers are wholly unaware of the resourcelulness or
limitations ol the men employed.

Just think ol the pleasures many owners ol country
estates are deprived of because they know not ol all
the joys and surprises in store lor them 11, when se-
lecting a gardener, they would first assure themselves
that he possesses the necessary qualifications and not
merely pass on him as though he were only a servant

Trade Notes

May 19. — Business for the past few
weeks has been running ahead of a year
ago ; this is somewhat unexpected. The
cool weather has had much to do with this
demand as there is a very scant supply
coming in from the outside. The red
Peony has made its appearance, but it is
hardly probable that the later varieties
such as Festiva maxima, etc., will come
into bloom by Memorial Day.

Lack of sunshine has again cut the
Carnations short although little trouble
is found in getting along with what there
is. What causes worn"^ is, what will we
do for Memorial Day? Sweet Peas are now
in fine shape and from the looks of things,
there will be a good cut for some time. The
Rose crop is ample and of excellent
puality. The heavy demand for flowers
has helped materially over the heavy
Spring cut which usually is unprofitable.
The Brunner crop at present is miserable
and the color so poor that it takes a lot
of talking to sell them.

There is quite a supply of Vio^^s on the
market, but the sale on these is not heavy,
being used only when a substitute for a
Violet is necessary. Snapdragons are
wonderful, and what is now in sight will
beep until Memorial Day so that there
ought to be quite a cut of this flower.
Spanish Iris, so largely used the past two
weeks, is nearly over, and we are only
sorry that it did not hold over a little
longer. The outdoor Valley is still coming
in and, while some is very poor, consid-
erable is as fancy as the best indoor stuff.
Orchids are in good supply and running a
little ahead of the demand. As usual, the
, pot plant situation at this time of the
. year leaves much to be wished for. The
fern crop is also a little behind demand.
When some grower will take the time to
go after the late Spring and Summer
pot plant business, he will be received
with open arms. Of course, he will have
' to pass by what may seem a very profitable
Easter crop.

. News Notes

Flowers for Memorial Day, 1920,
were not plentiful, but for that day, 1921,
looks even darker. The usual Rose crop
in the gardens upon which so many de-
pended to decorate the graves will be
entirely lacking, so that it will be either
go without or visit the flower shop, and
here comes the retailer's problem of how
to get enough stock for every one.

The Rose gardens about the city that
have been planted some eight or ten years
ago don't seem to have the vigor that they
had in former years and it is a common
sight to see complete hedges of the Caro-
line Testout that are yearly growing less
thrifty. Whether the soil becomes inocu-
lated " with some deteriorating fungi or
whether the Roses are subject to old age
-is a problem. It is doubtful if new Roses
planted in the same spot where the old
ones ha\'e grown so many years, even ii
given a bountiful supply of fertilizer,
would fare much better. The Rose seems
to like virgin loam and can be seen grow-
ing to perfection in what seems clear
clay.

The market on Yamhill st. is getting to
be quite a factor in the bedding stock
line and Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri-
days every other stall is occupied by some
small grower. This gives the small man
a little more leeway and, although it may
seem distasteful to many, it works out
well. The market usually gets as high a
price as anywhere, quality considered.

The imanimous report of the bedding
stock men is "rushed to death," and al-
ready some lines of stock are getting
scarce. The Petunia seems especially
short in supply. Zinnias and Asters are
selling- as never before.

The Rahn & Herbert Co. are cutting
their usual crop of Ulrich Brunner Roses.

Trade Notes

May 15 to 20 was Music Week in
this city. The main streets were deco-
rated with flags, and lyres were attached
to the trolley poles. The event brought a
number of people in from the nearby
towns. Some were flower buyers and
some were not. It, however, helped the
florist to some extent, as a number of the
stores had a bouquet or basket of flowers
to send to one of the performers at the
Auditorium on different nights through
the week.

The Monday after Mother's Day, th^
price of Carnations dropped to $4 and $6
per 100; this week one of the growers has
put his up to $8 per 100, and said he
would get $10 or $12 for Memorial Day.
So in this case the profiteer hunters will
be getting their work in again on Dande-
lions, I should say.

Memorial Day is one of the cheapest
flower days in the year, and to ask and
get $3 and $4 per doz. for Carnations
from a retail standpoint you are going
some, or stepping on tlie gas in other
words, as there are so many other outdoor
flowers on the market at that time.

In our city we can get shipments from
California of Baby Gladiolus, bpanish Iris,
Daisies and lots of other stock that comes
in in good shape and sells at a far bet-
ter profit.

Among The Growers

B. Hammoxid Traeyv Wienliaiii, Uaaa.

About 20 miles from Boston, neatly
tucked away among the hills and groves
of white and yellow Pine, Is situated the
Gladiolus farm of B. Hammond Tracy.
It may be right and proper to call it
a farm ; it is large enough for that, and
yet Gladiolus garden seems to be a bet-
ter and more appropriate name, for when
you get there you are rambling over
well kept roads and paths, winding along,
and around gentle slopes and miniature
bills dotted here and there, with well
placed evergreen and other trees and
shrubs. All around you are Gladioli and
Dahlias, acres and acres of them ; 47
of one and 20 of the other. And how
neat and clean, as if put there just for
the pleasure of it. No use trying to
describe all the wealth of bloom uor the
unending display of varieties; it ii
enough to say that thousands of
visitors every year pronounce a pil-
grimage to this establishment a delight-
ful and memorable feature of the season,
never to be forgotten and always to be
repeated.

The place is easily reached by train,
trolley or automobile, being flanked by
an admirable road.

Like many of our late coniers in hor-
ticulture, Mr. Tracy was employed in
commercial business before he settled
down to his present occupation, a life

If the prices of natural flowers go too
high, the retail shop will push was

tail men say today: "We don't care what
we sell, just so we make a profit."

Wliat I Hear and See

The Park Floral Co. cleaned up all
the good blooming plants before Mother's
Day and, from that time on, have been
forced to make up pans of Geraniums and
Heliotrope to fill their orders.

Geo. H. Cooper has his Memorial Day
window in. Straw flower baskets, wreaths
and cemetery vases are shown to the
public.

N. A. Benson of the Denver Wholesale
Florist Co. has returned home from a trip
to California. He reports business condi-
tions as being normal in the Coast cities
which he called on.

Geo. Brenkert claims that his new Car-
nation Denver is proving a great success,
as he has been booking a number of or-
ders from eastern cities since our Presi-
dent Harding was so well pleased with
the shipment he received from Denver.
The keeeping qualities of this variety are
fine.

Albert Mauff of the Mauff Floral Co.
has just returned from a trip to Casper
and Cheyenne, Wyo. He reports con-
ditions in that section very good and still
on the boom. Mr. Mauff is pulling down
six old greenhouses and will replace same
with four up-to-date houses in which he
will plant all Carnations.

in the open among plants and flowers.
Mr. Tracy held a good position in a
leather firm, but failing health obliged
him to give it up and seek recuperation
in outdoor life. He bought bis present
place about 20 years ago when it was
a rather wild and woolly looking farm,
and nothing like the beauty spot it ui
today.

Having from a child up always been a
lover of plants and flowers he soon found
much pleasure in growing them, and by
degrees began experimenting, hybridizing
and cross breeding. Gladioli were hia
favorites from the start, and as these
plants, about that time, were becoming
better known and appreciated he became
more interested in their culture, and be-
fore he was aware of it he had made
for himself a name as a Gladiolus spe-
cialist. He decided to devote his time
entirely to Gladiolus growing, and was
going along fine when, in 1914, a fire
wiped out buildings, stock, records and
everything. Nothing was left except a
good reputation and an indomitable wiU
and ambition to start again and make
good in spite of all.

New buildings were erected at once,
including a modern service building and
a neat, cosy dwelling, both of best cement
construction, on the top of a command-
ing hill.

The service building is two stories
high, 140ft.i80ft. The rooms are ap-
propriately designed and fitted with all
modern conveniences. The lower floor
comprises exceedingly large compart-
ments for working packing and shipping
purposes, also a large garage, a tool room
and a carpenter^s shop. On the upper
floor are the storage rooms for the bufbQ.
properly fitted with innumerable racks.
A conspicuous feature on this floor is an
immense* tastefully fitted show room,

where a wonderful assortment of all
classes of plain and ornamental recep-
tacles for holding Gladiolus, Dahlia and
other flowers are displayed. Vases, urna
and stands of all descriptions, in glass,
earthenware and fancy crockery are on
exhibition, and the choicest flowers are
here daily arranged with a view of show-
ing visitors how beautiful effects in home
decoration can be produced with a few
or with many flowers. This department
is greatly appreciated by the numerous
visitors, and is undoubtedly doing much
to increase the love for and the use of
flowers among the public. On the same
floor are the spacious and handsome
offices, where several stenographers and
bookkeepers are at work.

Mr. Tracy is deeply interested in the
newer Primulinus Gladioli of which he
has planted many acres. He is also giv-
ing much attention to cross breeding and
trying out all the newest varieties from
other growers and introducers. The soil

Bedding Plant Representation of
an Airplane

Some time ago there appeared in
Popular Mechanics magazine an illustra-
tion of an airplane reproduced in a flower
bed, designed by J. J. Mclntyre of
Bridgeport, Conn. As this is a somewhat
unusual attempt in bedding plant design-
ing, we reproduce the picture for the
benefit of our readers. The figure was
18ft. long and 6ft. wide, and several
hundred plants entered into its composi-
tion. The bed above it represents a pas-
senger train.

Carnations Booming in England

Judging by the rapid development of
the Carnation growing industry, the peo-
ple in England must be taking to Car-
nations, both flowers and plants, on a
tremendous scale. Not a few of the cut
flower growers have increased their glass
area, and others, who formerly handled
Roses or other stock, are going in more
and more for Carnations, cutting out the
other items.

The amateur plant trade in this coun-
try is practicaly nil; even the private
estates where Carnations are handled
make little or no impression upon the out-
put of young stock from the regular propa-
gators.

In Great Britain, including Scotland,
however. Carnations are essential to
everyone possessing glass, indeed, one
would almost imagine that even the small
amateurs must be utilizing their green-
houses for Carnations. As is well known
to travelers, a greenhouse, even in the
smallest of gardens, is a common object
in England ; many of these houses are
home mande.

Among the leading concerns that cater
to this amateur trade in addition to the
cut flower business, are Carl Engelmann,
Stuart Low & Co. and Allwood Bros.
Their output of plants of all sizes must
run into hundreds of thousands.

The last named firm — one of the broth-
ers, George, was for some years in this
country — has, in some 10 or 12 years,
grown at an amazing pace despite the war
and the fact that two of the brothers were
on active service.

Starting with a few small houses, they,
in a short period, began putting up house
after house, all of the big type. Having
no further room to expand on the home
location, they, a year or two ago, bought
out 1% acres of glass and ten acres of
land for the purpose of working up their
new AUwoodi hybrid Pinks in a nearby
neighborhood.

The two places are still inadequ-ate, and
another nursery of eight acres of open
land and two acres of glass has just been
secured for the purpose of propagation
and seed production.

Truly, it would seem that America as
the home of the Carnation is seriously
threatened. British raisers, and they em-
brace people like Wallace, Engeimann and
Allwood, who are familiar with conditions
here, are quite sanguine of not only out-
doing the American varieties in their
own country, but even shaking us up at
home should the F. H. B. make it easier
for importations.

So far as we are aware, Lady North-
cliffe is the only English variety grown
by anyone here, but we may assume that
Engeimann has made big advances since
that variety was introduced.

Violet

Growers

There is Money
in Growing
Violets if You
Can Grow Them
Skillfully

Consult Prof. Galloway's

"Commercial Violet Culture

an exhaustive and comprehensive work devoted
solely to the commercial culture of that very
popular flower.

Prof. Galloway contends that the income from
ten thousand plants crown under glass and
handled properly should, year in and year out,
average up to two thousand dollars. Do you
reach the mark? "COMMERCIAL VIOLET
CULTURE" will tell you how; the author pays
special attention to the dollar side of the business.
The book furnishes a list and description of the
more important varieties of Violets now grown
in America.
It compares the methods of culture, past and present.
The very important item of soil is thoioughly gone

into.
It treats on the construction of houses and frames,
providing a detailed statement in regard to the
points to be considered in the erection, heating
and ventilating of the house best adapted to the
needs of the Violet.
There is a chapter on water supply, foUowed by
one on propagating, selecting, cleaning and water-
ing the plants, planting, feeding, etc.
The all important matters of temperature and ven-
tilation receive attention.
There is a useful chapter on handhng and marketing

the crop.
Every known disease and insect attacking the Violet

come in for their due share of consideration.
The final chapter deals with cost and profit.

M'e'ws Items

Frank M. Suttle of tlie Hilmer V.
Swenson Co., of Chicago and J. C. Nielson
and wife of Poehlmann Bros. Co. are in the
city.

The wonderful Mother's Day business
transacted in all sections of the country
disclosed what organization and advertis-
ing mean for the flower business. To be
sure, prices were abnormally hig^ in
places and this will come home to us
with interest, but on the other hand, there
is every reason for enthusiasm as the love
of flowers is growing apace with the Amer-
ican public. The thousands of telegrams
coming and going during the Mother's Day
period also insure the success of commer-
cializing the whole country, at holiday
time in particular.

The outlook for Memorial Day in In-
dianapolis is fully as promising as that for
the preceeding holidays of the year. Stock
of all kinds will be plentiful and prices
should not be any higher if as high as
last season.

The State Florists Association of In-
diana will hold its June meeting the sec-
ond in Indianapolis.

The great Memorial Day races will be
the occasion for numerous social events
and the florists will no doubt do their
part in helping entertain the thousands
of visitors from all over the country. In
fact the great stimulus of this race will
cause many of the nearby cities to do
their grave decorating on the day previ-
ous, inconsistent as that may be.

Bertermann Bros. Co. are cutting a
splendid lot of Premier and Butterfly
Roses at their Cumberland range.

A. Wiegand's Sons Co. were quite busy
with funeral work during the past week.
Their bedding season is also fully up to
expectations.

Hartje & Elder are now fully located
in their new Del. st. store.

Morris Goldenson has opened up a re-
tail store in E. Ohio st.

Albert Kempe expects to cut many
thousands of Ms Memorial Day Daisies
this year. Hartje & Elder are also large
producers in this line.

The Eoepke Floral Co. reports a num-
ber of weddings booked for May and
June.

Wm. F. Thomas of the Burlington Wil-
low Ware Shops is in the city looking

St Louis, Mo.

Kansas City, Mo.

May 21. — ^Prospects for business for
Memorial Day are very bright; several
days of extremely warm weather have
forced the Peeony crop and have brought
out Eoses so that there will undoubtedly
be plenty of stock. Judging from the phe-
nomenal success of Mother's Day there is
every reason to believe that this next big
day will be as good, if not better than
any heretofore. Prices will not be put
up very much, the florists say; Carna-
tions will be $12 and Peonies $15. The
Peony crop is far short of normal because
of the two cold spells in April, but this
shortage will likely be overcome by the
Rose crop. The retail florists have antici-
pated a big demand for artificial wreaths
end have prepared many at reasonable
prices. They may be had from $5 up,

W. L. Rock, president of the W. L.
Rock Flower Co., was elected a director of
the Merchants' Association of Kansas City
at a meeting of that body the past week.
Mr. Rock is not only an up-to-date florist,
but a prominent figure in civic affairs and
is always to the fore when matters of in-
terest to Kansas City are concerned.

The Chandler Landscape & Floral Co.
has been busy of late with country club
dinners and luncheons. Decorations are
prominent features of this firm's business.
R. L. Moats is decorator.

Billie Fitzhugh, formerly with the
W. L. Rock Co., and later with the Kansas
City Wholesale Cut Flower Co., has d.e-
cided to re-enter the retail field. He will
go to the Muehlebacb Flower Shop May
23.

Bedding work has been extremely heavy
since the weather warmed up. Porch boxes
vases and hanging baskets have formed
a big part of the week's business.

K. C. N. S.

The Market

Extremely warm weather is with us
and at time of writing. May 22, Summer
seems to have come to stay. Stock in
general shows the effect of the warm
weather. Carnations and Roses appear to
be losing a great deal of vitality. Sweet
Peas do not last over a day. Peonies are
coming in and a big supply is expected
for Memorial Day. Cape Jessamines do
not appear to have much call and prices
were very low; it is expected that these
flowers will move well for Memorial Day.
Carnations and Peonies will, it is ex-
pected, reach 10c. and perhaps 12c. The
outlook for Memorial Day is based on the
supposition that on account of the recent
war, soldiers' graves will be more uni-
versally decorated than in other years.
Bedding out has now fairly started and
business in this line is expected to be in
good condition.

Garden Clnb of St. Lonis Flower
Sh.oMsr

The second annual flower show under
the auspices of the Garden Club of St. Louis
opened Saturday afternoon. May 21, at

shipped blooms from the South are 8c.
to lOc. What few Peonies escaped the
freezes are coming in and will be gone
before Memorial Day. The quality is
poor. Double Narcissi from the North
are coming in freely on an already over-
loaded market; they do not sell well.
Funerals are the only thing that move the
flowers.

The local council of the National Flow-
er Growers Association neld its first meet-
ing since organized. May 18, Horace Frank
presiding.

The committee to look into making of
rules for grading cut flowers and plants
are: H. M. Frank, Geo. Frisch and E. E.
Schaefer. Another committee appointed
to make forms and rules for cost produc-
tion are: E. E. Schaefer and H. M. Frank.

It was the consensus of opinion that
the small grower growing a miscellaneous
stock for retail could only guess at it,
and that most of them didn't care, as they
sold at as much as the public were willing
to give, the lowest man making the ac-
tual price each market day and the bal-
ance following suit if they expected to
sell their wares.

the Missouri Botanical Garden. There
were over 800 entries. Mayor Kiel opened
the show and in his address eulogized the
flower as a present form of God, making
life happier and better. The exhibits were
placed in the greenhouse to the rigbt of
the main building. Awards of prizes and
ribbons were awarded Saturday night.

The commercial growers were distinct
from the amateurs. Geraniums, Iris,
oriental Poppies and Sweet Peas were
shown. Woodlawn Garden Greenhouses,
Edwardsville, 111., led the field with three
blue ribbons for Ophelia, White Killarney
and Premier Roses. E. Pilcher of Kirk-
wood, Mo., received first for Columbia
Roses. Phillip Goebel, specializing in Car-
nations, won two first prizes and three
seconds.

Judges Bourdet, William A. Rowe and
L. P. Jensen served for the amateurs;
professionals were judged by G. H. Pring,
Rowland Hoer and A. Grossart. The
show closed on Sunday night. C. W. W.

Summer, long delayed, arrived last

duced the prices and quality.

The Market

May 23. — Receipts of stock during
the week ending May 21 were heavily
augmented by the arrival of Peonies from
the Southern part of the state. The
blooms were very nice, and as usual, their
presence in liberal quantities, lowered the
demand somewhat for Roses, Carnations
and other greenhouse stock.

Extremely warm weather set in on May
21, the thermometer registering 85
degrees, or about 25 degrees above
normal for this season of the year.
In consequence, much stock reached the
market in a full blown condition.

The local crop of Peonies is expected
to be ready for the Memorial Day mar-
ket, provided the warm temperature con-

tinues. A sudden change will operate to
halt their development and postpone the
maturity of the flowers, making them miss
by a few days, the occasion of big de-
mand. Peony growers report that rain
is badly needed to lend size and substance
to the blooms.

Business for the week was good, the
principal demand being created by the
abundance of funeral orders. Special
weekend sales also assisted materially with
the receipts of the period.

Flower Show Committees Meet

Chairman George Asmus and Secre-
tary John Yoimg arrived on May 18 to
attend a meeting of the Fifth National
Flower Show Committees, called by Vice-
Chairman H. P. Knoble. The committeemen
were out in force and the details of the
work of each were given careful consider-
ation. The chairmen of the various com-
mittees are as follows: C. E. Russell, re-
tail displays; A. D. Taylor, interior
decorations: W. H. Temblett, exterior
decorations; P. C. W. Brown, publicity;
Timothy Smith, admissions; George L.
Mercer, printing; Charles J. Graham, mu-
sic; George Bate, outoftown exhibits; Carl
Hagenberger, local exhibits; Ed. George,
nursery exhibits; Charles Bastian, trans-
portation; Walter E. Cook, concessions;
Albert Barber, special features; Fred C.
Witthuhn, information; Robert Bryden,
aquariums; James A. McLaughlin, pre-
miimas; George E. Carrothers, school ex-
hibits.

While the May 1 strike of the build-
ing trades has retarded structural opera-
tion upon the manamoth new Public Audi-
torium, in which the show is to be staged,
March 25 to April 1, 1922, completion is
expected before the end of the present
year. The Fifth National Flower Show
is expected to feature the opening of the
big Auditorium, a factor in itself, a guar-
antee of success.

An admission fee of $1 with trade tick-
ets at 50c., including war tax, was recom-
mended to the National Committee. Spe-
cial concessions will be made to the school
children and to charitable organizations.

P. C. Jaeger & Son, who recently pur-
chased the retail store of Mac Rorie-Mc-
Laren Co., 141 Powell st., and have since
conducted the same in conjimction with
their own store across the street, will, be-
ginning June 1, conduct their business ex-
clusively from the new location. Mr.
Jaeger needs no introduction to the florist
trade of the Pacific Coast, for he has been
engaged in the line in San Francisco for
upward of 35 eyars, and is one of the most
popular florists here. Mr. Jaeger is ably
assisted by his son, Fred, Jr.

The "Flower Shop" at 2114 Center st.,

J. H. KrophoUer and J. Baker, was pur-

Mont. John Slots, manager and decorator,
Wm. R. Gibson, for some time past asso-

tinue under the new management.

to 25ft. high, were moved with ball and
planted in specially prepared pits. They
are all coming into leaf and have trans-

GETTING RESULTS?

Put that question to a florist who owns a Lutton
Greenhouse.

With a scientific, economical heating plant that is
as mechanically perfect as it is possible to make it,
and with a system of ventilation that has no su-
perior, the answer is bound to come without hesita-
tion— "Of course ! "

Lutton-built greenhouses insure a maximum pro-
duction with a minimum expenditure of time and
money.

And maximum production means more profit.

Why not talk over the plans for that new green-
house now? Come in and see us, or we will call
on you.

The Market

May 24. — In the wholesale cut
flower market business on the closing days
of last week were extremely disappoint-
ing; the demand was not sufficient to make
anything like an approach to a real clean-
up of the market, even at a very low level
of prices. Conditions so far this week
have not improved much. There are
medium large arrivals of nearly all items
of stock and increasing arrivals of
Peonies. The general demand is sluggish
and there tends to be still further decline
in prices.

American Beauty Roses are in moder-
ately large supply and they are moving
out slowly at 15c. to 40c. each for special
grade blooms; other grades are selling at
proportionate prices. In other Roses, the
supply is much larger than the present
weak demand absorbs; top grade blooms
are selling at from about 3c. to 4c. each
for the old time Killarney up to about
10c. and 12c. in general for the preferred
A-arieties. Hadley, however, is realizing
about 20c., Crusader, about 25c., Key,
about 50c. and Premier 15c. to 20c. No.
2 grade blooms are bringing from 50c. to
$2 per 100.

The moderate supply of Carnations is
moving out slowly at $2 to ?3 for select
grade blooms, with occasional sales at $4;
$1 to $1.50 per 100 for the other grades.

The moderate supply of Cattleyas is
meeting with a small demand at 25c. to
75c. each, and the same is true of Lily of
the Valley and Lilies, the former fetching
SI to $4 and occasionally $5; the latter
$15 to $20 per 100.

Arrivals of miscellaneous flowers in-
clude Antirrhinum, Bouvardia, Callas,
Daisies and an increasing supply of
Peonies, Stocks and Sweet Peas, all of
which are meeting with a slow demand at
qiioted prices.

As regards greens, the top price for
Smilax now appears to be $3 per doz
strings; this and all other greens are
moving rather sluggishly at quoted prices.

Ne-ws from. S. A. F. Headquarters

Secretary John Young returned last
Saturday from Cleveland, Ohio, where he
had been attending a meeting of the local
Executive Conunittee having in charge the
coming National Flower Show. Mr. Young
is quite enthusiastic about the way the
chairmen of the local committees have
taken hold of the work and also the in-
tense local interest, which certainly goes
far to insure a great National Show in
Cleveland in 1922. Secretary Young is
also greatly pleased with the new audi-
torium where this show will be held and
says that for National Flower Show pur-
poses this building is undoubtedly the
best adapted of any in this country.
S. A. F. President Thomas Roland and
Secretary Yoimg will go to Washington,
D. C, on June 1st for the purpose of at-
tending the meeting of the Advisory Com-
mittee, especially in the interests of the
trade exhibitors at the S. A. F. Conven-
tion in that city in August of this year.

Items of Neups

Max Schling, 785 Fifth ave., re-
ports that his store force is kept quite
busy these days executing orders for arm
bouquets to be used at the private school
commencements. Orders are coming in
from several of these schools every day
and in each case, a large number of bou-
quets; in some cases as many as 50 or
more are required. Mr. Schling further
reports that the interesting fact that the
steamer orders which he is now called

upon to execute are more in number than
before the great war.

The Associated Retail Florists of New
York City held a meeting on Thursday
night. May 19, at the Pennsylvania Hotel,
but what business has been transacted we
have been imable to learn. We learn also
at this writing, Wednesday morning, that
another meeting of the florists will be held
at the same hotel this evening at 8 p.m.
To this meeting, all retail florists, those
outside as well as those who are members
of the association, and all wholesale flo-
rists are invited.

Retail Florists Paying the One-
half of One Per Cent

We notice on the bulletin board at
the 18th St. flower market, the following
list of names of those retail florists who
are now paying one-half of one per cent
on their purchases on flowers for publicity
purposes: C. H. Brown, A. T. Bunyard,
David Clarke Sons, J. Curry, Hession,
Chas. Haberman, Guide, Klausner, Dards,
A. Meyer, Mansfield, F. Nielson, Phillips,
Rigo Bros., Le Moult, Schling, A. Waren-
dorff, H. Warendorff, Stiunpp, Garden
Florist, Ralston, Stanley, Whittley, Butch-

Graff, Yuess Gardens, Rummler, Luthey,
H. Spitz, J. Reck & Sons, C Haas, C.
Abrams, C. • Sakeles, A. Echnek, Jos.
Nickel, A. Pulas. By the time this list
comes into the hands of our readers, it
will xjrobably be incomplete, for additions
are being made on the bulletin board al-
most every hour.

Memorial Festival

As we are going to press we learn
that there will be a Memorial Festival
held at the 22d Regiment Armory, 168th
St. and Fort Washington ave., on Thurs-
day night of this week in honor of those
who made the supreme sacrifice in the
great world war. The members of this
committee are Colonel F. W. Gabraith,
National Commander of the American Le-
gion; A. Le Moult, chairman; P. S. Kess-
ler, A. N. Kinney, Herman Weiss, A.M.
Henshaw, Jack Kervan, J. S. Fenrich,

That Ball Game — From James A.
Bntig

As manager of the "Market Carna-
tions" (socalled) Baseball' team, I wish
to call your attention to several errors
occurring in your issue of May 21 under
the caption of "Outing and Ball Game."
In contradiction to the statement that
George Hildenbrand was knocked out of
the box, I wish to state that the records
kept by me personally show that he
pitched only one inning, the eighth, by
the way, and struck out two men and the
third went out on a foul ball play. Al-
though Mr. Hildenbrand was not a regu-
lar member I was compelled to call* on
him in order to make up the teams. Out
of the nine regulars, only five appeared
and rather than disappoint Mr. Le Moult
I called on men to fill in, some of whom
played little or no ball prior to this
game. The scorer of the game you gave
as Joseph Fenrich; it should have been
Jos. Fennrich, Jr. We are now open to
book games with any team composed of
florists' employees. To make such arrange-
ments apply by letter or 'phone to man-
ager, James A. Rutig, care J. S. Fenrich,
43 W. 18th St. We also desire to receive
a return game from 'T<e Moult Rosebuds."
Mr. Le Moult please note!

Recent callers in this city were Robert
Craig, Philadelphia, Pa.; L. J. Renter,
Boston, Mass.; Geo. Verhalin, Scottsville,
Tex. Mr. "Verhalin is largely engaged in
growing Rose bushes and Cannas and has
many acres devoted to this industry pro-
ducing in such numbers that he makes
carload shipments to the several parts of
this country.

Memorial Designs

We noted this week at A. Le
Moult'B, 51 W. 28th St., a wreath made
up on the new wire design which is being
put out by the Henshaw Floral Co. This
design is an exact replica of the American
Legion button. In the center of this
wreath was a bronze star bearing in gold
in its center the letters U. S. This star
was surrounded by a circular blue field on
which were the words "American Legion"
and this blue field was surrounded by a
circular outerfield of gold. The material
which entered into this Memorial Day
American Legion wreath was bronze, blue
and gold frieze. At this same store we
saw another Memorial Day wreath. This
was made up of bronze Magnolia leaves
with a cluster of small Cycas leaves at
the top. This was finished up with a
bow of red, white and blue ribbon with
three streamers on which were the words
"American Legion, Hempstead Post 390."
John J. Schmidt, manager for LeMoult
is a member of the Hempstead Post and
through him, there has been placed with
Le Moult an order for one hundred of
these wreaths for Memorial Day use, and
also for a very large wreath of this kind
to be placed on the Soldiers' Monmnent
in Greenfield Cemetery in Hempstead.

For the 22d Regiment Memorial Fes-
tival, held at 168th st. and Fort Washing-
ton ave., on Thursday evening. May 26, A.
Le Moult of 51 West 28th St., made up a
blanket 6ft.s4ft., composed entirely of
natural red Poppies. The flowers were
sewed on the blanket, which was of cloth,
and the edging consisted of Asparagus.

On Sunday, May 29, Mr. Le Moult's ar-
tistic ability will be again brought forth
in the making of a wreath which is to be
placed on the Statue of Liberty at Bedloe's
Island, ordered by the U. S. Shipping
Board in memory of the men who had
perished at sea in the late war. The
wreath is to be 27ft. in diameter, the
frame made in three sections, and to con-
sist entirely of evergreens, with a cluster
of gilded Cycas palms at the base, and a
bow of red, white and blue ribbons. The
frame of the wreath is to be of wire,
made by Capozi, 237 West 29th st. A
supply of Hoses, Carnations, Sweet Peas,
etc., was also ordered to be strewn on
the Hudson River. There will be twelve
battleships in line, with 35 women on each
who, at a set time, "Said it with Flow-
ers" as they threw the fragrant blooms
into the river.

A most compact, comprehensive and
useful little reference book for New
Yorkers and persons who have any sort
of dealings in or with that municipality,
has been published by the Supervisor of
the City Record, under the title of an
"Official Directory of the City of New
York" for 1921. It is of pocket notebook
size (2%in. by 5%in.), contains 219
pages, and is bound in two styles, stiff
paper and leather. Beginning with a con-
densed but exceedingly interesting history
of the city (which we contemplate print-
ing in The Exchange at an early date)
it then gives complete directorial and sta-
tistical data for all the city and county
departments, officials, boards, commis-
sions, borough governments, libraries, hos-
pitals, courts, institutes, societies, etc.

Memorial Day Notes

A. M. Henshaw advises that there is
really evidence at last that the retailers
are interested in an Allied Trade move-
ment, not only to help in local advertis-
ing, but to make possible the remedying of
some of the evils of our trade. The As-
sociated Retail Florists invited the officers
of the Allied Trade Association, the
Flower Growers Association and members
of the trade generally to attend its regu-
lar meeting on May 25 and it was hoped
that the A. F. T. A. would be given a
great boost at that time. It is surprising
how generally the retail trade is coming in
on the one-half of one per cent of this as-
sessment scheme.

Only one ad was used in the daily papers
for Memorial Day, with the exception of
I one day in picture supplement of the
N. Y. Evening Post on Wednesday, May
25, which was arranged for some time
ago. The committee in charge felt that,
as proved on Mother's Day, the money
might better be reserved for a dull penoi I
which probably will follow that day.

All signs point to a tremendous business
for the weekend. All organizations con-
nected with war and post-war work are
making arrangements for Memorial Day-
celebrations where it will be "Said with
Flowers," and the retail members of the
A. F. T. A. are going to contribute flow-
ers for this purpose.

take, for instance, your

you know that most any

pleased if you covered
the unsightly flower-

classic, handsome, prac-

and this small, yet im-

will cost you but a few

The Market

May 24:. — The market during the
past week was unusually quiet, the de-
mand being rather slow, and stock accu-
mulating rapidly to a point it could not
be moved at satisfactory prices. This
was not unexpected, as all weeks cannot
be record breakers, and conditions noted
may be regarded as the lull before the
heavj- demand the trade will be called on
to supply before the present week is over.

The indications for the present week's
trade is that there will be ample stock
for all demand. These indications were
accentuated by two of the hottest May
days in ten years in Chicago, Sunday and
ilonday of the present week were scorch-
ers, with a record temperature of 92 deg.
This must bring a lot of stock into the
market the next few days that was hither-
to unlooked for. Still, with all this, it
is a problem with many as to how the
supply will measure up with the demand.

The supply of Roses will, it is believed,
be equal to the occasion and while the
Carnation crops are fast running off, there
will be a reasonable supply as many
growers strive for a good final crop for
Memorial Day, after which throwing out
begins, and preparations for the next sea-
son's crops become the order of the day.

The Peony, always a prominent factor
in ilemorial Day trade, has, this year,
upset all the calculations on the whole-
sale market. Frosts in Indiana and
Illinois ruined thousands of blooms. This
was not discovered until the buds began
to open. The frost came when they were
in bud, giving the growers reason to be-
lieve they escaped injury. All of these
frosted buds opened either imperfectly or
discolored and in other respects lacked in
final development. The more northerly
fields less advanced are reported to be
unharmed but were not calculated to be
ready for the present week's trade unless
the two days of imprecedented heat may
hasten some to an earlier maturity than
was expected. As the supply for this mar-
ket comes from many sources, it is not
dependent on any particular section so
that there is daily a moderate supply
coming in. A part of this has been going
into storage and although the crops have
suffered much, there will be a presumably
fair supply, although nothing lite
what was formerly anticipated. The price
of from $1.50 to §2 per bunch is set for
the week's trade and it is believed all
stock available will move at these prices.

The supply of Sweet Peas, Snapdragons,
Candytuft and Lilies will be only of
moderate proportions. The rest will have
to be made up to a large extent from out-
door stock, notably G-ladioli, Tulips.
Deutzias and other shrub stock, all of
which make good decorative material for
the occasion. The supply of Cape Jas-
mines from the South is larger this year
than usual and will in some way amend
for the Peony shortage. Ferns will be
scarce, the old crop from storage being
gradually on the decline. There is some
new stock coming in from the South, but
this is too soft as yet for reshipping.

There is an agreement on the part of all
the wholesale houses to keep open Simday
next so as to give the buyers all the op-
portunity possible to stock up well for
-Monday's trade.

General News

I. Rosnosky of the American Bulb
Co. says he will be at the Oklahoma and
Texas State Florists Conventions at Okla-
homa City and San Aitonio respectively
with an exhibit of bulbs and supplies for
his house.

E. C. Amling and wife have returned
to Chicago after a long visit to California.
!Mr. Amling is in excellent health and eaya
Chicago is an admirable Summer resort
that he will ti-y out this season.

J. M. Cochrane of West Pullman re-
ports good business in his section of the
city. He is preparing for a good Me-
morial Day trade for which he is well
supplied. At one time a miscellaneous
class of plants was grown in his green-
houses, but he has recently gone in largely
for Cyclamen growing. He aays there is
more money in growing Cyclamens than
any other plants.

A party of friends visited A. F. Longren
at his new home in Des Plains on Sunday
and enjoyed a delectable chicken dinner.

Most of the friends, like Mr. Longren,
were traveling salesmen and their wives.
Those present were Geo. Mohn of
Vaughan's Seed Store, E. C. Pruner of
the Poehlmann Bros. Co., A. J. Zech and
Wm. Duntemann and family from Ben-
sonville.

J. Hodgson Jolly of the Hodgson Jolly
Organization, public accountants and aud-
itors, says in the Monthly Bulletin of the
organization: "Don't forget that on an
average, in the United States, it costs
three times as much to sell an article as
it takes to make it!"

Tulips in Europe

While this has not been a successful
season for Darwin and other late Tulips
in the New York section — the big collec-
tion at Bronx Park was badly injured by
"Fire," a disease brought about by vari-
able weather conditions — the same does
not hold good in Europe. According to
reports to hand, the early May R. H. S.
meeting in London brought together the
greatest display of late Tulips ever seen
in the hall. No less than ten concerns
were exhibiting, two of them from Hol-
land, the remainder from England, Ire-
land and Wales.

Four of the groups were awarded gold
medals, proof that the groups covered at
least 100 sq. ft. and embraced anything
up to- 200 varieties. The quality of the
blooms was unusually fine.

Doubtless, acting on the information
that Tulips would be especially good,
H. M. Queen Mary visited the show.

Perhaps the most important feature of
the exhibition was the plain indicatioii
that the Tulip is now receiving full atten-
tion at the hands of the hybridists.

Generally speaking. Tulips were not, up
to recent years, being bred in large nxma-
bers. The bulk of the late varieties in
commerce are comparatively old, many of
them decidedly so. Even the Darwins are
mostb^ old forms which have been de-
veloped since they were discovered by
Krelage some 40 years or so ago.

In recent years, however, bi>_'eders both
in England and Jaolland have been devot-
ing their attention to raising seedlings
and, just prior to the war, these were
making their public appearance, among
them the new Lily type.

Having got over the first long period
of waiting for the cross-breds to flower
and develop, the raisers are now reaping
the harvest of successional crosses.

At the London meeting, Krelage & Son,
Haarlem, staged a number of new seed-
lings, five of which gained awards, name-
ly: James Watt, an improved Louis XIV;
Carrara, practically Darwin form and
pure white; Amber, straw color; Orange
Perfection, cerise shaded orange, and
King George V, a brilliant rose Darwin.

C. G. Van Tubergen, Haarlem, also
showed new seedlings: Rosabella, a pale
pink cottage variety; Arethusa, bright
lemon, and Marjorie Bow en, carmine,
gained awards.

Sutton & Sons showed a strange break
from the well-known Darwin Clara Butt,
under the name of Phantasy. This sport
has taken the form of the Parrot type,
a fact that sheds little light on the origi-
nation of the peculiar laciniated Parrots.

English breeders were not, apparently,
showing any seedlings, but it may be as-
simied that the striking forms raised by
the late Walter T. Ware are being grown
on.

In Holland, large nimabers of new seed-
ling Tulips have been reported, especially
interesting being the new early fi.owering
Darwins which can be forced almost as
early as Due Van Thols.

A writer who has seen these Tulips in
the fields states that they look like Dar-
wins, and embrace many shades totally
unknown among the early sorts, including
brown, lavender, salmon, violet, etc. Thifl
strain originated with Krelage & Son.

Another worker at Rynsburg, neai? Lei-
den, has a cross-bred strain, which though
early is a mixture of Breeder Darwins,
Cottage doubles and singles, and of all
heights and colors.

The Market

May 24. — The samples of weather,
which a kind Providence distributed in
and around Boston during the past week,
were varied enough to offer everybody
one';; particular brand. There was rain,
frost, a spell of balmy weather and two
days in succession of torrid heat; then
some more rain. The only thing that
never changed was the condition of the
market. This one item remained as flat
and lifeless as it had been all the week
before. True, an unusual number of
deaths among very prominent people oc-
curred almost simultaneously and occa-
sioned a more than normal demand for
funeral material, but, in spite of this ex-
tra demand, the market remained over
supplied with all sorts of flowers, and no
relief is expected until about the latter
part of the present week, when active
buying for Memorial Day is started.

At that, there is a cloud overhanging
the present Memorial Day situation, in so
far that it is feared the competition from
artificial flowers and designs may seriously
affect the sale of natural flowers. There
may be something in this but, as we all
know, man seems to delight in living in
fear of things that never come to pass.
The presence of so much of the artificial
material may somewhat affect the price
of real flowers and may keep these from
reaching record figures.

There is no use losing any sleep over it,
however. We shall find out in a very
few days. Today, Tuesday, the market
shows signs already of stiffening up,
helped, no doubt, somewhat by the cool
and rainy weather of the last two days.

American Beauty Roses have had a
little better demand than for some time
past, but the price has not improved.
This Rose is fighting hard for its exist-
ence and is slowly but steadily losing
ground. Hybrid teas have for the most
pa rt done well enough, considering the
enormous supply that is coming to the
market. The very best Hadley make, in
some instances, 30c., Russell 25e., and
good Cohunbia, Premier, Ophelia and Pil-
grim 20c. Grades below best go down to
2c. or 3c. Of course, in very many trans-
actions, the buyer dictates the price, and
we all know what that means.

Carnations have had a bad week, to
say the least, whites especially. Two
cents for whites was considered good
money, 3c. for colors and 4c. for Ward,
Benora, etc.

Callas and white Lilies sell slowly at
about the same price, loc. to 20c. Snap-
dragons and Mignonette are hardly to be
considered; the quality has gone back too
much to make these flowers desirable.
Marguerites in enormous lots and of all
grades are cluttering up the stalls. A
few of the very best make 4c. The rest
dovra to Ic. and nothing. Gypsophila is
in great demand and sells out clean at
from oOc. to 7oc. per bunch. Feverfew
also is beginning to come in freely. It ia
of good appearance, selling at the same
price and fast. Some Swainsona and,
now and then, some Bouvardia Hum-
boldtii are offered. Single and double
Stocks also find willing buyers.

Peonies have not shown up in the mar-
ket yet. They can be seen in the better
retail stores, sent from New York and
Philadelphia. Pansies are a drug, with
sales at lowest figures few and far be-
tween.

Oceans of Sweet Peas and still more
coming every day. The quality is nothing
wonderful; there are some good lots and
they bring up to l^c. and if lucky 2c.
A great deal of the rest is simply rubbisti.

Cattleyas just about meet the demand.
Mossise is practically the only variety
noted, with a very few gigas here or there.
Plenty of all sorts of greens at regular
prices.

And now, all hands on deck for ^Me-
morial Day, and then the June brides and
graduation buds.

"JAY EM" Says:

Chicago in Summertime

A city's wealth is revealed during
the hours of recreation, in the garden
spots consecrated to play. * * *

With an advancing civilization has
come a newer conception of civic
worth. There must be guarantees for
the happiness of humbler inhabitants;
a city may be condemned for its slums,
while another, perhaps of lesser ma-
terial wealth, is acclaimed for its
manifold opportunities for public en-
joyment.

No city in the world has provided
more lavishly than Chicago for outdoor
recreation. Its one hundred and forty-
three playgrounds are studied by city
builders of many countries. In Sum-
mer, easily accessible to every dwell-
ing, are grassy parklands where chil-
dren may play. In the larger parks
many thousands are at invigorating
sports every sunny day — baseball, golf,
tennis and numerous other athletic
contests.

Three great lagoons provide for shel-
tered acquatic sports and the long
stretch of lake front is dotted with
bathing beaches and yacht harbors.

JUST before MEMORIAL DAY is a GOOD TIME

To tell a little about our business, our ambitions and how these have led to our success.

It is really the story of every successful business that has set out to make good and did it.
When we started in business, a few years ago, we had in mind only one thing.

THIS WAS TO PLEASE OUR CUSTOMERS

We knew well enough this would bring about the rest.

We tried hard to look at business from the retailer's standpoint, picturing to ourselves how we should wish to
be treated by the wholesaler if we should be buying his goods. After we had this thing down fine the rest was easy.
The way it looks to us now

WE DID RIGHT

for from the very beginning our business has prospered and it is prospering ever more. We knew that we should
want the best and freshest flowers at the most reasonable price and have them delivered in the best condition at
the right time.

THESE THINGS WE DU) FOR OUR CUSTOMERS, AND WE ARE DOING THEM NOW, BETTER THAN EVER

We are the sole distributors of the whole output of the largest and best growers of CARNATIONS, ORCHIDS,
ROSES in New England. All other flowers, such as LILIES, MIGNONETTE, SWEET PEAS, DAISIES, CAL-
ENDULAS, GARDENIAS, SNAPS, VALLEYS, etc., are consigned to us by other crack growers. Flowers never
grow stale in our place, they don't stay there long enough for that,
v^^i^^ Greens of all kinds, supplies, artificial flowers or anything a retail florist may need, always on hand.

has large plantations in Porto Rico grow-
ing palmSj Dracaenas, Ficus, Aspidistras
and other tropical plants. Large quanti-
ties of Aspidistras especially, are grown
under lath shaded houses where they make
a fine and rapid growth. Growing Drac^-
na eanes is another specialty of im-
portance. The plantation is provided
with a sprinkler system connected with
the city water supply. Mr. Craig looks
remarkably strong and rugged in spite of

his 74 years and a few hours spent in his
company are a worthwhile pleasure at
any time.

Silverman, the florist on Winter st., has
opened a store in Norwich, Conn. This,
together with his stores in Boston and
New London, is likely to keep our friend
pretty busy.

W. H. Tomlinson, who bought out Thoa.
Stock of Dorchester, about one year ago,
is supplying the market with splendid
Sweet Peas and fine Vincas. Moe Leib-

man, at the Flower Exchange Market, is
selling these products and is also receiv-
ing a grand lot of double Stocks from
Herbert Calder of Ellis.

At "Penn's" great preparations have
been under way for some time in anticipa-
tion of the greatest Memorial Day busi-
ness in the store's history. Additional
space has been secured at 4V2, 7 and 8
Hamilton place, close to the store.

Witly Garden, at "^TPenn's," went fishing
last week. He may thank his stars, his
luck, or more properly the assistance of
an innocent bystander that he is a live boy
today. Willy fell into the drink, but did
not object much when a kindly disposed
man jumped in and yanked him out, back
to this cruel world.

William P. Eich, secretary of the Mas-
sachusetts Horticultural Society, has just
returned from a week's trip which he un-
dertook in the interest of the society and
in relation to the proposed additional
show of native and tropical ferns, to be
held some time during the coming Fall
months. !Mr. Eich visited the principal
growers of ferns and exotic plants in the
East. He had a most pleasant trip and
he cannot praise enough the friendly wel-
come and full hearted hospitality which he
found everywhere. The attention which
was bestowed upon his plans and pro-
posals give a good reason for expecting
hearty cooperation, so that the outlook
for a successful exhibition is bright. Mr.
Eich was greatly pleased to notice that
the several grand horticultural exhibitions
lately held in Boston have evoked due
admiration and appreciation, and have put
Boston's prestige in the forefront as the

ceuter of horticultural achievement and
activity. He also found a general in-
clination to regard the Qu. 37 in a favor-
able lightj so far as most of its provisions
are concerned; The growers, almost with-
out exception, are of the opinion that the
present embargo will, ultimately, produce
ia.?ting and satisfactory results. Immense
preparations are already under way to
supply with American grown goods, the
demand for those articles which formerly
have come from abroad. Among the es-
tablishments visited by Mr. Rich were the
following: A. N. Pieraon, Cromwell,
;Conn.: F. E. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y.;
the home of the crested ferns, W. A.
I\Ianda, South Orange, N. J., where 54
varieties of the sports of Boston fern are
grown, besides innumerable species and

varieties of all kinds of tropical plants.
The tree ferns and stag horn ferns on
this place are simply grand. Tree ferns
25ft. high, with stems one foot through
are here to be found in quantity and a
wonderful collection of Cacti is of great
interest. The trip to Philadelphia took
in the establishment of Robert Craig Co.,
with its wealth of Crotons, Dracaenas and
other foliage plants. H, A. Dreer Co. and
the Widener estate also were visited and,
in Rutherford, IST. J., Bobbink & Atkins
and Julius Roehrs Co.

Wax Bros, on Temple place report a
record breaking business in all depart-
ments. Their show windows always dis-
play a variety of novel or unusual va-
rieties of flowers, such as Iceland Pop-
pies, Ranunculus, Coreopsis, Gaillardia,
Salpiglossis. Plant trade has been ex-
ceptionally good.

"GalvinV Back Bay Store carried out
a most unique decoration for the "Ballet
Dance" given by Madame Maria Kedrima
of the Russian ballet at Jordan Hall.
The series of dances entailed separate
scenes for each of which special flower
beds had to be arranged. From these the
dancers would, during the performance,
pick appropriate flowers or be decorated
with them. There were beds of Daisies,
Pansies, Sweet Peas and Rambler Roses.

The new white Carnation Thomas C.

favor from the start, on account of its
fine appearance, fragrance and great keep-

''German made wreaths sold. Legion
protests use on graves of veterans."

The above is the heading of a news ar-
ticle in the Boston Post and it goes on
to say that : "German made artificial
flowers and floral wreaths to decorate the
graves of Bay State war veterans, and to
be used in all Memorial Day exercises this
year, are now being sold in Boston, ac-
cording to charges made by Leo A. Spil-
lane, State Adjutant of the American Le-
gion. Immediate investigation by State
Legion officials will be started this morn-
ing, when they will call iipon Chamber
of Commerce officials and officers of the
New England Florists Association, de-
manding the TVEade-in-Germany' flowers
and wreaths be withdrawn from the mar-
ket."

Next day the following appeared in
the Boston Post:

Says Artificial Wreaths are U. S.
Mantifacture
To the Editor of the Boston Post:

We note in this morning's paper an ar-
ticle stating that the State Legion had a
meeting at which some one stated that the
flowers used in artificial wreaths were
made in Germany, hence their attitude
would be not to use them.

Let me state as one who has handled
these wreaths since the first wreath of
the artificial make was put on the mar-
ket, that this statement is absolutely un-
true. Ninety-nine one-hundredths of all
the artificial flowers used in making arti-
ficial wreaths are made in America.

Previous to the war, these flowers came
from France and Germany and some from

The Gaedecke Greenhouses at Nashua,

Tlie Market

The market at this writing. May
23, is in the throes of a slump. Several
days of unseasonable heat has ushered in
the local Peonies; this, together with a
top hea^T supply of Roses, has been the
cause of lowering the market. The supply
of Peonies has been reduced somewhat

this season, due to the frost the early
part of the month. The crop _from_ all the
local fields is reported as being right on
time, which promises a plentiful supply for
Memorial Day. Prices for Peonies are
ruling at this writing at $5 to $10 per 100.
The hea%'y receipts in Roses have driven
prices down to very low levels.

The medium supply of Carnations now
arriving is showing the signs of wear, and
there is a medium supply of Easter Lilies.
Sweet Peas are poor from indoors, while
there is a limited supply of excellent out-
door stock. Callas are approaching the
end of their season.

The supply of Gladioli is steadily in-
creasing; Cornflowers flood the market:
Snapdx-agon is plentiful and comparatively
cheap. There are enough orchids for the
present needs of the market. _ "Valley is
on the short side. Coreopsis is now ar-
riving, and outdoor Delphinium is plenti-
ful with some wholesalers.
Notes of Interest

Henry F. Micbell has purchased the
residence and grounds at 3913 Chestnut
St. for $50,000, -stated as being one of the
finest homes in West Philadelphia.

Spring bedding plants in bloom are
scarce, as they usually are, at this time.
A good Geranium in bloom for Memorial
Day is worth all it will bring and then
some.

Leo Niessen reports the arrival of the
first of some excellent Coreopsis.

In our last week's notes we made men-
tion of the baseball league as being all
talk. It has, however, been brought to
our attention that the Mole Street Slug-
gers will hold secret practice in the very
near future. Now it's up to the Ludlow

HINTS . FOR. THE • FLORIST

By LESTER G. HERBERT

IB' you biive an associate or au employee lu your
shop who Is Indlffiereut, and not at all incliued
to lie as interested as he should he, or to give you
the service of whicli he is capable, there are two ways
to liandie the situation. One is to malce some sort of
a change which will eliminate this individual from
your program of business and lite. This may be in-
convenient, expensive, and even impossible. It is al-
ways better, if it can he done, to worl; out a con-
structive rather tliau a destructive scheme. Changes
are expensive, and one cannot always be sure whether
or not an improvement will be effected in tlie person
of the next worlier. So, unless the ease seems to he
hopeless, it is usually better to try JNIethod No. 2. This
Is to set out to impress upon the person in question by
various means, that he is necessurii to the scheme of
things. This has to be done tactfully, or more harm
than good will be done.

Let us suppose that Jones,
your salesman in the shop, is
not showing the right attitude
toward his work. If you, as
chief executive, will only man-
age with artful subtlety to
give Jones the idea that his
work if well done is one of
the pivotal parts of the busi-
ness, and that his interest and
intelligent cooperation make
his job one of importance and
dignity, then Jones is bound to
react to the suggestion if
there Is anything in him at
all. To be sure, he may not
get the Idea at once, and it
may take patience and re-
peated effort to stamp this im-
portant truth npon Ms con
sciousness, but once he gets it,
as someone has said, "All that
is best In him will go out to
you, like steel to a magnet."

Do not make the mistake of
giving him the idea that work
poorly done is filling the bUl.
Exert the stimulus of your own
personality to awaken pride
and ambition and effort on the
part of your helper, who may
be lagging and sagging back.
Take this task to yourself as a
challenge and see what you
can do in awakening the true
manhood wMeh it is to be
hoped dwells In the individual,
burled and out of sight, yet
nevertheless there.

You owe it to yourself to
make plans to the end of in-
creasing your own breadth of
outlook, your own interest in
life, your real efficiency, and
your vital contact with suc-
cessful Individuals.

All of these things will reflect themselves in a
big way in your prosperity in doUars and cents; in
your cheerfulness, optimism and personality; and in
the grade of service which you will be able to render
to others. In other words, get into the habit of
associating with the most successful people who are
near you, and whose friendship and companionsliip
you can win for such leisure periods as you are en-
titled to. Association with such Individuals wiU
prove a moral stimulus which you cannot afford to
sacrifice. It is as necessary to you as sunshine to
the plant, as water to the garden, the electric current
to the incandescent bulb, or sap to the growing tree.

Many of the big men who have achieved things in
their particular lines, have been able to do so because
they received the moral urge or stimulus from others

ness, was considcralily discouraged hy the "Imperti-
nence" of his men in llie store. They would fiing
hack such defiant leturls to his reprimands and sug-
^iostioiis, tluit in a nuuihcr of cases our friend was
oliligcd to insist on the discharge of good men to save
Ills own sense of self-respect anil his autliorily with
other workers.

After a case of this kind, he went home one night
and uuicli discouraged, told his wife about the inci-
dent of the day.

"Sa.v. .Iiihii." she said slirewdly, "You know that 1
have two maids on account of our large family and
mother's illness!"

Her husband niidded. "But," he reminded, "I have
scores of men to manage; that is different."

"Here is where I save myself trouble, even with
two," Ills wife went on. "If one maid needs correc-
liou or suggestion, I wait until she is alone, or else

stage in his conversation where he thought that he
liad made a point, lie would swing his rather promi-
nent jaw Ijone to the right, then give It a curve and
a downward swing to the left. No wonder the small
lioy and grownup customers had missed his most ef-
fective arguments. Probably they were expecting to
see him come apart, like a prize puzzle.

He began a systematic series of facial exercises
every night by himself, and kept his mind on keep-
ing that limber jaw of his steady, with the result
that business began to pick up at once. Now he is
selling entirely to his own and his firm's satisfaction.
Our friend says that he appreciates thoroughly Roger
liabson's .story of the gold tooth which stood out
like a headlight and prevented its owner getHng a
job, also the other authentic story of the man who
wore a large green pin on a white tie, to his own
financial undoing.

It surely pays to take no
chances of distracting our
prospects by any eye or mind
absorbing personality or point
of dress.

F. T. D. Window for Mother's Day

Arranged by the Alpha Floral Co., Denver, Colo.

I send for her to come to the library, which is my
office, you know. I have found that on their own
ground they will often be fearfully saucy, while on
my ground, they will be less aggressive and defiant.

"When I correct them before each other, they will
always fling back in self-defense, and with something
of a desire to show off. When I found this out, I
made up my mind, never to give them a chance to
have that kind of satisfaction out of me again. Now,
we get along beautifully and they respect me more be-
cause they are kept in their places."

A certain florist salesman could not quite under-
stand why his sales were so small and few. One day
he was talking to a small boy who watched him in-
tently as he had so often seen his customers do. At
a given stage in the story, the storyteller paused and

F. T. D. Window for
Mother's Day

The Alpha Floral Co. of
Denver, Colo., with the hearty
cooperation of the Western
Union, presented to the pub-
lic a window display showing
facilities for sending flowers
by telegraph and cable to
one's mother for Mother's
Day. The illustration shows
the important features of the
display. Miniature telegraph
poles were used in the front
and a few feet back the mala
stations are shown. New
York and San Francisco at
either end and Denver in the
center. Instruments were
placed at each station and
wires were run to the poles
from the stations. At the
Denver station a large ticker
was placed with roll of tape,
such as used in the stock mar-
ket. This ticker was con-
nected on a Western Union
main wire and was kept in
operation almost continuously.
The dock in the backgrotmd
had a sign placed on it read-
ing, "Flowers Anytime, Any-
where by Wire. Name your
city and we'll name the flo-
rist." Ferns, palms, blooming
and foliage plants, as well as
cut flowers, were artistically
arranged, which added color
and tone and helped to
strengthen our slogan, "Say it with Flowers." Tags
of the leading florists all over the United States and
Canada were placed under the telegraph wires from
pole to pole ; this was one big attraction as it kept
the pedestrians busy reading the numerous tags. The
display was arranged April 21 as an advance re-
minder of the big day to come May 8.

E. S. Kennedy, president of the Alpha Floral Co.,
claims that this was a good booster for members of
the F. T. D., and the efforts of Chas. F. Edgar in ar-
ranging the window were not in vain, as the results
were most pleasing.

To his utter astonishment, the boy was embarrassed,
and stutteriugly acknowledged that he forgot to listen
to the story because he was so fascinated watching
his friend "twist his jaw."

The salesman was too astonished for words, but that
night he held a lengthy conversation with himself in

Protect Your Check Book

By H. R. TOTTEN

The spirited activity of check forgers in various
parts of the country has brought warnings from banks
for business men to be on their guard and to take
precautions in safeguarding cheek books.

Crooks of this ilk, like other non-essential evils, are
always with us, but at present it would seem, accord-
ing to secret service reports, that there is a pretty
well organized band of cheek forgers and thieves
operating upon a nationwide scale.

Messages of Flowers

(or Their Floral Code and Dictionary)

CHICAGO, ILL.

DESK, where anybodj' who happens along
can help himself to it if the notion strikes
him. It has been found that a new tack
made use of by crooks is to get one of
their number on the inside, so see to it
that you keep your checks and other valu-
able papers out of sight when not in use.
This is a bit of shop worn advice, but
owing to the carelessness of human kind,
it needs repeating every once in so often.

Also, beware of the check thief — ^that
limb of the forgery gang whose job it is
to follow the postman on his rounds and
"swipe" whatever letters he can get his
hands on. A middleman gets the letters
from the thief, and taking out the checks,
remails the letters. At this point the
forger enters the game, changes the
checks to suit his fancy and passes them
on to the "presenter," whose Job it is to
ca.sh them at the banks.

If the postman is in the habit of drop-
ping your mail on a stand near the door,
have somebody on band to receive it as i
soon as it passes out of the carrier's
hands. A check thief may be trailing him. I

Banks are particularly skittish at the |
present time regarding checks of the pay- i
to-bearer order. Where checks are made I
payable to firms, the names are either |
erased with acids or changed by a few j
clever pen strokes, dates and amounts j
raised and the checks cashed. This is a
very simple procedure and a name like .
Fiske & Brown can be changed to Fred-
erick H. Browning without much trouble.
A new departure in the game is the lower- ,
ing of checks instead of raising them, j
This lessens the forger's chance of dis-
covery.

The thinner your cheek paper is the |
safer you are against having it put to
fraudulent use. There are many safety
devices in use to protect checks, but in
the main they are far from being abso-
lute insurance against forgery. However,
it is the policy of wisdom to throw as
many safeguards aroimd your checks as
possible, for the harder you make it for
the forger to operate, the safer yon and
others will be and the less chance he has
to work his nefarious tricks in compara-
tive safety.

When the Salesmanship Fell Down

One of the members of The Ex-
change's editorial staff recently received
from an acquaintance outside the florist
trade, the following letter:

"It is a long time since I have seen
you, and I really want to see you about
several matters.

"As I understand that you are writ-
ing for one of the leading florist papers
in this country. I thought I ought to call
your attention to the outrageous profit-
eering which has been going on, particu-
larly on Carnations on Mother's
Day. In addition to the enclosed
clipping from the Times. 1 have
had some personal experience. While I
was buying some flower plants for my
own home at a Bronx florist's, several
little girls came in and the florist asked
them 35c. apiece for Carnations. Need-
less to say they left without buying
any. This is certainly an outrage and

there is no reason for it. I believe that
the florists are doing harm to the trade
in general and to the beautiful custom
of presenting flowers on Mother's Day.

"It seems to me that the florist publi-
cations as well as the florist organiza-
tions would take some steps to prevent
such profiteering in the future.

"I thought I ought to call your atten-
tention to is as you may be in a position
to do something to remedy the situa-
tion.

That there is not a little truth in the
suggestion that excessive prices will react
to the disadvantage of the trade and that
it is the task of the trade publications
and organizations to prevent such an out-
come, no one will deny. These facts have
already been emphasized in previous is-
sues and they were acknowledged in the
reply to the letter. Similarly the other
complex features of the situation were
brought to the correspondent's attention
with a view to proving to him that the
majority of florists are not profiteers.

However, there is one indictment in the
letter whicli, though not expressed as such,
is deserved and a real lesson for the trade.
What was the salesman thinking of when
he let those little girls leave his shop
without some kind of a flower, even after
they had found Carnations too expensive?
Suppose those Carnations had cost 20c. or
•25c. wholesale, and that he could not af-
ford to let them go — even two or three of
them — at a loss. Even then he should
have tactfully explained why, and pre-
vailed upon the young customers to take
something else within their means — a
Pansy plant, some Daisies, anything that
would enable them to carry out their
plan of "buying a flower for Mother."

By letting them go, that particular flo-
rist not only failed to sell a few Carna^
tions, but also disappointed some pros-
pective customers — both present and fu-
ture— and helped to put the whole florist
trade in a bad light in the eyes of some
impressionable youngsters.

Sometimes, of course, it is impossible to
avoid disappointing a customer. But no
stone should be left unturned to prevent
this, no legitimate argument should be
overlooked in urging an attractive substi-
tute. And, finally, whatever the outcome,
make sure that the customer, whether
satisfied or not as far as purchases are
concerned, leaves with a firm conviction
that you did everything in your power—
and then some — to render service.

If anything will smooth out the patlj
way of future Mother's Days, service and
sympathy will do it.

Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and
Mrs. L. Waters in the loss of their daugh-
ter recently, Elaine Joyce, aged 15 months.
There were a great many floral offerings,
including designs from florists and the
Toronto Retail Florists Club.

H. G. Dillemuth states that there are
many weddings in sight. Business has
been good up to the present. Stock has
been scarce but it is much better now.
Tidy & Son express much the same views.

Dunlop's, Ltd., store is a regular bower
of Apple blossoms. The effect has been
much commented upon.

J. J. Higgins is getting his flower gar-
dens at his Summer home at Long Branch
ready preparatory to moving out there
at an early date.

F. Dunnington-Grubbe, landscape gar-
dener, has been lecturing on landscape ar-
chitecture. He scouted the idea of the
"wild garden." "So many people ask me
for a wild garden," he said, "but they
don't mean natural wildness. They want
Nature conventionalized. Copying of wild
Nature may be art, but it is not creative
art," said Mr. Grubbe, pointing out that
in the formal gardens of classic days and
in the entirely informal gardens of the
Chinese, Nature was always conventional-
ized.

T. G. and F. A.

The Toronto Gardeners and Florists
Association held their regular meeting on
Monday, May 16. President F. D. Clark
occupied the chair. There was a discns-
1 sion of the points to be awarded at the
various floral exhibitions. Secretary A.
Simpson presented a comprehensive re-
port giving the points allowed by the Car-
nation, Sweet Pea, Rose, Chrysanthemum
and Gladioli societies. These were
adopted and ordered to be printed for the
guidance of exhibitors. A copy will be
supplied to each member.

H. G. Dillemuth outlined the program
for the coming F. T. D. convention to be
held at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto,
Oct. 11, 12 and 13. There will be a three-
days' session and 1000 visitors are antici-
pated. It is expected that all the horti-
cultural associations will assist in enter-
taining and he requested the Gardeners
and Florists Association to give their aid.
The association promised to cooperate. The
executive will deal with it.

George Simpson was appointed to repre-
sent the Toronto Gardeners and Florists
Association at the aimual convention of
the Canadian Florists and Gardeners As-
sociation to be held at Peterborough,
Aug. 13, 14 and 15.

It was decided to hold no meetings in
June, July or August. The next regular
meeting will be held on Monday, Sept. 19.
The executive will arrange for the an-
nual picnic.

There was a good display of flowers, all
of which were awarded prizes.

Canada at Xarge

J. Gammage & Son, London, sup-
plied many beautifufl bouquets of Hoses
for the hospital graduation exercises.

J. Hill, (Reg.) florist, Montreal, has
been registered.

Frank Dunlop states that John H. Dun-
lop & Son, Ltd., Richmond Hill, have been
very busy. At present they are carrying
on the work of replanting. An immense
business in Rose bushes was done this
Spring.

The annual Tulip Show of the Agincourt
Horticultural Society on May 18 was a
great success. There was a very large
display of Darwin, Parrot, etc.. Tulips,
and special exhibits of Lilacs, Calceo-

The' Exchequer Court of Canada has
handed down a very important decision
of interest to Canadian retailers who are
thereby absolved from collecting the sales
tax. The decision is as follows: The
retailer is not a manufacturer in the gen-
eral acceptance of the word." G. C. K.

Flowers in the South Sea Islands

In '"Typee," a real romance of the
South Seas, by Herman ilelville, the au-
thor dwells on the great fondness of the
maidens of Typee to ornament their per-
son.s -with flowers, in the same way that
women in other parts of the world employ
jewelry to enhance their charms. He
says: "'"Flora was their jeweler. Some-
times they wore necklaces of small Car-
nation flowers, strung like rubies upon a
fiber of tappa, or displayed in their ears
a single white bud, the stem thrust back-
ward through the aperture, and showing
in front the delicate petals folded to-
gether in a beautiful sphere, and looking
like a drop of purest pearl. Chaplets, too.
resembling in their arrangement the
Strawberry coronal worn by an English
peeress, and composed of intertwined

leaves and blossoms, often crowned their
temples; and bracelets and anklets of the
saine tasteful pattern were frequently to
be seen. Indeed, the maidens of the is-
lands were passionately fond of flowers
and never wearied of decorating their per-
sons with them, a lovely trait in their
character."

HERE'S EVIDENCE

That Florists Are Building

Down South, where prices of everything were so high
they had a saying like this:

"With hog meat a dollar a pound, I eat so much rabbit,
I just go , hopping around."

A goodly lot of you florists have long since stopped
your hopping around, between deciding whether to build
at present prices ; or wait until they are lower^ You

stopped hopping and started building. When the other
fellow^s build next year, you will have twelve months
running jump on them. A year's profit ahead, that will
more than make up the difference in building costs. Here
are some others like your good self, w^hose sound sense
prompted their building Lord & Burnham greenhouses
now.

KOSTER

Starts a Little Holland
in America

With Mr, FCoaler, quahty
before everything
else.

When the war and embargoes, both knocked
the HoUeind growers' business into a cocked hat,
Mr. Koster, of Boskoop and Blue Spruce fame, as
you know, came to this country and started propa-
gating and growing Box, Rhododendrons, Kalmias,
also Azaleas, Roses and Evergreens.

He started doing what the growers of this
country had never done before. So successful has
he been that no less a man than Charles Seabrook,
President of the 4,000 acre truck and fruit farms at
Bridgeton, N. J., was attracted.

This Koster-Seabrook combination spells assured
success from the start. It means things done on a
big scale, but with quality of product always the
first consideration. One of our Iron Frame propa-
gating greenhouses is already on its way. The house

itself is of our standard construction throughout.
Hitchings will do the erecting and heating, while
the benching, Mr. Koster will carry out along the
line he has proved to be so successful. With char-
acteristic Dutch thrift, Mr. Koster wanted every
greenhouse dollar to count. But price did not de-
termine the final selection of a Hitchings house.
That is to say, the amount of money involved was
more, but the actual price will prove out less. Less
because the Koster-Seabrook combination will get
more for their money.

In addition to which is a prompt, dependable
service aind a pleasant dealing that is worth dollars
to a firm, just as surely as is greenhouse material.
You know, we go anywhere for business. Or to talk
business.

The Florists' Exchange

1307

As ItlCI'ORTED in last week's Exchange, repre-
sentative American importers o£ French bulbs
gilt together in New York on May 23 and thor-
oughly threshed out the ditlicult situation that de-
veloped when the French growers announced prices
some 40 per cent higher than last year's. Although no
further official information has been given out, inves-
tigation and onestioniug enables us to state, without
abusing any confidences, that the concrete result of
the meeting was a message — essentially an ultimatum
— which was promptly cabled to the French growers
asking them to reduce their prices so as to meet the
declining price situation over here and stating a spe-
cific figure as a maximum beyond which American im-
porters had decided they
could not go.

Although the original an-
nouncement from France oc-
casioned no little astonish-
ment and some dismay,
there exists here no feeling
of rancor or active antagon-
ism, nor was the cable sent
in a spirit of "Here is our
offer, take it or leave it." On
the other band, the endeavor
was to make it clear, not
that American importers and
dealers want to boycott
French dealers, or do not
want to handle their goods,
but simply that they cannot
see their way to buying stock
at prices which, if they do
not cause the bulbs to be left
on their hands, will make it
impossible for these bulbs to
be retailed at a price that
can be called fair to the con-
sumer. In other words, the
desire is to open the eyes of
the Frenchmen to the facts
In a situation that they have
apparently failed to grasp.
And thereby hangs a tale.

What French Growers Don't
Know and Why

In the first place, accord-
ing to all we can find out,
the French bulb growers are
characteristically ignorant
of and indifferent to condi-
tions elsewhere than in tlieir
own immediate section. They
do not travel or send their
personal representatives to
this country, as the Dutch-
men do. to gain a first hand
knowledge of their market,
and to keep abreast of the
tendencies here as to prices
and demands. Doing their
trading by correspondence
for the most part, they tend
to base their prices solely on
their own interests, and con-
sistently charge all the traf-
fic will bear — until some-
thing happens to show them
their mistake, as is occur-

ing right now. Following this narrow, provincial
method of doing business, the French bulb growers for
the last five or six years have been steadily raising
their prices. Until 1920, labor conditions, prices of all
sorts of materials and other aftermaths of the war
justified these advances to a greater or less extent,
and at the same time a rising market for all com-
modities in this country rendered them less notice-
able. But in the last six months, as we have seen,
a deflation and reduction movement has developed;
Dutch bulbs, for instance, are offered at something
like a 40 per cent reduction from last year's figures
and prices in general are about 20 per cent below
those of 1920. And yet, nothwithstanding this, the
Frenchmen calmly and with What we hope for their
sakes was blissful ignorance, announced further ad-
vances in their prices aggregating some 40 per cent!
Little wonder that there was an earthquake in Ameri-

can bulb circles, and that the first audible comments
were to the eft'ect that French bulbs could go to
thunder — or anywhere else — before we would try to
handle them at such prices.

At this came the astonishing, plaintive protest from
France to the effect that "The Hollanders are buying
our bulbs at these prices; it they can, why can't a
big nation like yours do so, too?" Investigation dis-
closed that for a fact, the Dutchmen were buying
these exorbitantly expensive bulbs though in small
iiuantities — and speculation was rife as to what it all
meant. As .Sir Phillip Gibbs says in the title of one
of his books. "Now it can be told" — what the Hol-
landers were doing and why — and what effect their

purchases are likely to have on the bulb mixup in
general and the American bulb business in particular.

Why the Hollanders Bought French Bulbs

In the first place, it must be realized, as we pointed
out in last week's Exchahge, that America is the
great market for French bulbs. England takes most
o£ her Paperwhites In cut form ; while as far as actual
consumption is concerned, all the buyers in Holland
couldn't use over ten per cent of the French product.
Probably this ten per cent will cover even the bulbs
that the Holland dealers buy to resell to "easy mark"
buyers in the United States at a comfortable advance.
However, in the case of the stock that the Hollanders
were taking at the exorbitant 1921 prices a few weeks
ago, there was probably never any idea of direct
profit; the buying price of the bulbs prohibited that.
The facts are that the French bulbs were probably

licing bought to serve as premiums later in the season
in gaining new orders for consignments of their own
Holland grown stock!

Surely you can see how it would work out. Along
in Midsummer, the farseeing Dutchman, in person or
tlu'ough an agent, offers his wares to the American
importer or jobber; if all ordinary arguments fail to
effect a sale, he hints that he has a small lot of fine
French bulbs, "the kind you can't buy any more be-
cause of the high prices," that he might, as a great
favor, throw in at a moderate price if the buyer saw
tit to take a good big lot of the Dutch bulbs offered.
Who could resist, especially when the urbane salesman
explains that he isn't making a cent on the French
bulbs, but is selling them at
cost and doing it simply as
a favor, etc., etc.?

Now whether the French-
men, in calling attention to
the Dutch purchases of their
bulbs, knew that such de-
velopments were in the
wind, or whether they sin-
cerely believed that the
Dutch orders reflected a
sound, well-developed de-
mand and justified the
prices asked, we are not pre-
pared to say. Nor does it
matter. The important fact
is that of late the Hollan-
ders seem to have put the
' brake on' as' far a's huying
French bulbs at 150 to 175
francs is concerned ; maybe
they are getting a touch of
"cold feet" ; maybe the deter-
mined stand and frank ex-
pressions of the American
trade have shaken their
faith in their ability to "get
away with" the plan they
had in mind. At all events
fewer orders from Holland,
combined with the ultima-
tum sent from New York a
fortnight ago, must be caus-
ing the Frenchmen to think
hard and fast; perhaps they
are beginning to see things
in a new light that illumines
rather more of the world
than their own little patch
of bulb garden; perhaps
they will find it possible to
set their prices nearer sea
level — and still come out at
the end of the year with a
little profit. Certainly we
hope so — for their sakes and
for the sake of our bulb men
here and our flower lovers,
too.

Let Bulbs Be Bulbs — not
Bribes

It should not be assumed
that the foregoing analysis
is designed to reflect upon
the business integrity of the
Holland bulb dealer. We in
America are ready and will-
iug to deal with him on a cordial, mutual benefit basis
as far as the buying of Dutch bulbs is concerned. But
we don't see why we should be expected to get our
French bulbs through him — either as prize packet pre-
miums or as commodities which he has handled solely
for the purpose of taking a plump middleman's profit.
If the Dutch bulb industry isn't big enough and
strong enough and attractive enough to stand on its
own feet, does it deserve to be bolstered up on a
cushion of French bulb trade taken out of the hands
of the legitimate American importer? We don't be-
lieve so. Moreover, we feel that it is the duty of
American bulb interests, from amateur grower to re-
tailer and jobber, to stand behind the American im-
porter on this platform.

The representative importers have, by meeting and
sending their ultimatum to France, shown their readi-

Program Forty-sixth Annual Meeting American

Association of Nurserymen, Chicago, IlHnois,

June 22 to 24, 1921, Congress Hotel

All Sessions in the Florentine Room, Second Floor
Morning sessions at 10 o'Clock. Afternoon sessions at 2 o'clock

Tliere is a lot to do. Please be iu your seats prompt-
ly. A word from the Program Committee :

Executive sessions have been decided on for the
purpose of a full, free and frank discussion of those
questions, on which during the past year, diflereuees
of opinion have developed. Some of the salient points
to be brought out in these discussions are mentioned
In connection with each question, but it is our wish
that any other point that may occur to any member
be brought out and discussed. No representatives of
the press will be present; talk freely, open up, ex-
press your mind, but SMILE ! We believe that every
one of these questions can be threshed out at this
meeting and settled for all time.

Note that ample time has been allowed between the
discussions and the final vote to give every member
a chance to THINK before voting. Remember that a
majority vote of the active members present decides
all questions except the amending of the constitution
and by-laws which requires a vote of two-thirds of the
active members present.

The desire of your Program Committee is that
these discussions may clear the atmosphere and that
when the final adjournment is reached on Friday, we
shall find a united, bigger, stronger American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen than ever before.

The objective of this discussion Is a plan for publicity
the coming year, the kind we want, the date it

should be started, how It should be signed —
"Authorized by American Association of Nursery-
men" or "Published by the American Association
of Nurserymen," or How? — the appro.xlmate amount
of cash we should spend on It, all with the Idea
in mind of passing a Resolution covering, so far as
practicable, these details as a guide for the Market
Development Committee.

Executive Session, voting members only.
Discussion :

"The Trade Mark" (Trustworthy Trees and Plants).
Is it practicable as an Association emblem? Just
what is a member's moral and legal liability un-
der It? Should the trade mark be viewed from a
new angle since the Association has been incor-
porated? Is It desirable or possible to restrict the
use of the trade mark? Should it be featured in
our publicity work? Would a slogan on the order
of that used by the Florists Association be a bet-
ter vehicle for publicity? Who has a "slogan" in
his system and what is It? Shall the trade mark
be continued or dropped?

Speakers limited to five minutes ; discussion led by

rence, Kansas ; C. H. Perkins, Newark, N. Y. ;

Is any change in present schedule of dues desired?
Since our last meeting the Association has been
incorporated; are the members to hold shares, how
are they to be apportioned and will the number of
shares held by a member determine the amount
of his annual dues? What shall the annual dues
be and how paid — ^Annually? Semi-annually? Is
Article 7 of our Constitution Indefinite as to just
when membership ceases for non-payment of dues?
If so, how should It be amended?

Another Epidemic of Quarantines

Palm Seeds and Home Grown Nursery Stock

now under ban Belgian Growers who Sought

Freedom iiere, run into New Brands of Red Tape

One of the aims of The Floeists' ExcHANGE^and
one in which we hope we have been moderately suc-
cessful— has been to keep abreast of the various plant
quarantine measures as they have been imposed in
different parts of the country and, indeed, to move
sufficiently in advance of them to keep the trade in-
formed as to what it might expect and what precau-
tions it should take.

But we must now confess with regret that two de-
velopments in this field have suddenly and simul-
taneously taken us by surprise. As it happens, the
horticultural importer and plantsman from whom we
have just learned about these new regulations, was
equally unaware of them until they were sprung
upon him full force, to his considerable inconvenience.
So we have company in our chagrin. But it is none
the less disconcerting — not to say alarming — to learn
with what abruptness these and other regulatory
dicta may be imposed upon an already harassed trade.

Exhibit A, in the present situation has to do with
Palm seeds which, it will be remembered, together
with nuts, according to section 4D of the Quarantine
37 exceptions, were declared totally exempt from the
restrictions of that order. Now, we learn, a New
York importer has been advised that no Palm seeds
from Oceania shall be admitted into the United States
until they have been inspected and fumigated with
carbon bisulphid at the port of arrival. It so hap-
pened that this announcement reached him simul-
taneously with the report of the ^irrival in California
of two steamers from the Antipodes, each carrying a
consignment of such seeds addressed to him. This
development proved especially annoying inasmuch, as
some time before, the importer had taken the trouble
to inquire by telephone of the local Federal Horticul-
tural Board officials as to the possibility of any diffi-
culty about securing such seed, and had been informed
that there was no restriction, that there would be no
trouble whatever, etc. More recently, since official
notice was received from headquarters, he has re-
ceived In writing from this same local office a state-
ment that the ruling has been in effect for some time,
thus definitely repudiating the statements previously
made over the telephone.

The apprehension in this connection is caused, not
so much by the thought of the delay and added ex-
pense involved in the inspection and fumigation pro-
ceedings, as by the fear that twenty-four hours' ex-
posure to carbon bisulphid fumes may injure or even
kill the seed germs. While this material is accepted
as one of the best with which to treat seed, most of
the information concerning it is, we believe, based
upon experiences with Peas, Beans, cereal grains, and
other hardy temperate zone products raised in this
country. How Palm seed, raised in a foreign country,
in the Southern hemisphere, will compare with these
domestic seeds in resistant qualities we are not pre-
pared to say. Who Is? Mainly, however, the pinch
in the case of this latest exercise of discretionary
authority on the part of the F. H. B. comes from the
fact that Palm seeds were, presumably. Inviolate, and
that, so far as we have been able to discover in the
ordinary course of events, no special warning has at
any time been issued as to the possibility of their
coming under a ban. Verily, the plant dealer's life,
these days, is just one d surprise after another.

Camphor Scale Quarantine Grips New Orleans

The second distressing development has taken place
in our Southland — in New Orleans and the surround-
ing parishes, to be exact — from which, according to a
dictum issued by the State horticultural officials, sup-
ported by the F. H. B., it Is not permitted to ship out
any sort of horticultural product — plant, shoot, root

Root Maggot Remedy

Insures a good crop of

Radishes, Kale, Cabbage, Onions,
Turnips, Cauliflower Etc.

Magotite acts as a preventive
by repelling the Fly, which lays the
eggs from, which the maggots are
hatched. It also destroys maggots
which are already in the soil. It
has proved very effective in com-
bating Earth Worms of all kinds,
the Strawberry Crown Borer, Cab-
bage Worms, Asparagus Miner,
Flea Beetles, Cut Worms and all
kinds of Slugs.

Simply sprinkle in and over the
drills when seeding, and around the
roots when planting, and after the
plants are through it is sprinkled
around and alongside of them.

It is not injurious to plant life in
any way, but on the contrary is a
valuable stimulant and fertilizer.

A 4-lb. package will cover about
300 feet of drill, mixed with soil
at planting time, with an occasional
top dusting as a preventive during
the growing period. For Field
Culture the approximate quantity
required is from 300 to 500 lbs.
per acre.

Also, on a feature page, and bearing

furnished us by an informant — not having

— of two new regulations which further
tend to put the brakes on our horticul-
tural industries.

New York Seed Trade

It is quite evident that the seed sell-
ing season, except of perennial flower
seeds for immediate planting, and of vege-
table seeds for double cropping and of
Turnips which will develop later, is most-
ly over. Small nursery stock and dor-
mant Koae bushes are no longer in de-
mand, but potted Roses are meeting with
a considerable sale. The demand for green
flowering and vegetable plants has reached
high water and is now ebbing, except for
late Cabbage, Cauliflower, Sweet Potato
and Celery. The seed stores were all closed
on Memorial Day.

J. H. Kan, formerly with the Flora
Nurseries of Heemstede, Holland, but now
with Segers Bros., Lisse, Holland, arrived
on the Nieuw Amsterdam, May 28. Mr.
Ran is planning to open an office downtown
New York for the development of the
business of the firm which he represents.

California S-nreet Pea Seed Crop

Advices recently received from a
large California grower of Sweet Pea
seeds states that the early flowering Spen-
cer varieties are at the present time look-
ing fine and full crop deliveries are ex-
pected. Aphis, however, is prevalent in
many parts of California and may make
its appearance on the crop in question at
any moment. There is a possibility, how-
ever, that these plants may escape their
attacks.

Vaughan's Seed Store. 41-43 Barclay st.,
reports a fair demand for green plants,
both vegetable and flowering, especially
on Saturday of last week, and an active
demand for insecticides.

A. Rynveld of Rynveld Bros., whose
New York office is at 1165 Broadway,
sails on Saturday, June 4, on the Nieuw
Amsterdam, for Holland. Mr. Rynveld
goes especially to see to the packing of
bulbs to fill the American orders of his
firm. He will return to this country about
the middle of September. When Mr. Ryn-
veld came to the United States in Oc-
tober of last year, he brought with him
Mrs. Rynveld for the first time; she is so
much pleased with this country that she
will return with Mr. Rynveld.

Green auction sales of bulbs are now
taking place in Holland and up to the
time of present advices very good prices
are reported.

"Wonder Dolly Balls," a combination
of fern roots made into a ball, and flower
seeds, sown in among these, is one of the
latest offerings. It is assumed that the
plants from the flower seeds will bloom
and that there will be a bouquet, as it
were, of flowers and fern fronds.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co. has now
moved its poultry, seed and sundry depart-
ments from 52-54 Vesey st., to its new
quarters at 196 Greenwich st. As soon as
the bi-weekly auction season closes in
June, the' plant department will be moved,
thus completing the removal of this well
known company from its old to its new
building. This moving during the active
Spring selling season has been a difficult
undertaking requiring good generalship
and much hard work.

Chicago Seed Trade

The counter trade at the various stores
had a banner week's business. The warm
weather and intervening showers brought
plant buyers out in force. Everything in
vegetable and flowering plants was in de-
mand. The stores were crowded daily
during business hours.

The Apollo Theatre, Chicago's newest
playhouse,. on the corner of Randolph and
Dearborn sts., was opened on Memorial
Day. It is just 13 months ago since
Vaughan's Seed Store was doing business
on the ground this new theatre occupies.

A. Henderson, of A. Henderson & Co.,
returned Thursday from New York, where
he attended a meeting of importers of
French bulbs. While no definite reply
has as yet been received from the French
syndicate of growers, there are indica-
tions that the prices will ultimately be re-
duced.

Indications are that there will be a
large delegation from Chicago at the
forthcoming seed trade convention in St.
Louis, June 20 and 21. The first annual
golf tournament for the seed trade is re-
garded with much interest by Chicago
golf enthusiasts.

The double holiday came as a great re-
lief to all in the seed trade. All the
houses closed Saturday, not to open until
Tuesday morning, which gave the employ-
ees a much needed rest, after a week of
remarkably good business.

Peter Hollenbach celebrated his 71st
birthday on May 26. He is hale and
hearty and can be seen at his place of
business daily. He will attend the seed
trade convention in St, Louis this month.

A. Miller, of the American Bulb Co.,
has returned from a trip to New York
City, where he attended a meeting of im-
porters of French bulbs. Mr. Miller ia
quite optimistic regarding the situation
and believes matters as to prices will
finally adjust themselves to the satisfac-
tion of all. A window of red Poppies
Mr. Miller secured in Japan were all
cleaned out for Memorial Day.

The American Bulb Co. reports a lively
demand for Fischer's celebrated Cyclamen
seed. Their early shipments have already
arrived, enabling them to fill all orders
promptly as received. A splendid clean
up on Gladiolus bulbs is reported.

The Continental Seed Co., with offices
at 141 W. Jackson blvd., Chicago, and
warehouses at Hammond, Ind., has gone
into the hands of W. D. Collins, secretary
of _ the company, as receiver. The ap-
pointment of the receiver was made by
Judge Rush on application of Arch.
Johnson and C. W. Hales. The bill of
complaint alleges a merger agreement was
entered into by the Continental Seed Co.
and the Albert Dickinson Co., whereby the
shareholders of each were to receive
shares in the new Continental-Dickinson
Co. It is stated the receivership was
asked to prevent a possible forced sale of
assets of the Continental Seed Co.

Los Angeles, CaL

Seed Crop Report of John Bodger
& Sons Co.

Since May 19 we have had almost con-
tinual rainfall in and around Los Angeles,
the rain gauge showing from 2in. to 4in.
in various parts of the county. This is
the highest gauge shown at one fall for
two or three seasons, and such a storm is
very exceptional in California during the
latter part of May. We were without
rain during the early part of the year,
which was very detrimental to growth in
general, and consequently all plantings are
late. This recent storm, however, has
given everything a good start and will be
beneficial, especially to flower seeds. On

HARDY PINKS

These New Perpetual Flowering Hardy Pinks are a great
improvement on the old type of hardy Pink, being equally as
hardy and perpetual flowering. They bloom continually from
early Summer until Fall, and the flowers are larger than the
old types, more substantial and borne on long stems, suitable
for cutting and very fragrant. They are valuable both as a
ciit flower and for the perennial border. We offer three distinct
varieties:

HAROLD. Large double white, of symmetrical form.
JEAN. Pure white, with purple center.

ROBERT. Delicate shade of old rose, with light maroon center.
Strong 3-in. and 4-in. pots, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100.

Raffia and Red Tape

Cliapter I in tlie Tale of Troubles
of a Dealer

McHutchison & Co., of Chambers st..
New York City, as Exchange readers
know, are wholesale dealers in Rafl5a.
Visitors to their office building and ware-
house may have seen bale upon bale of
this stock piled in orderly ranks and have
thought dazedly of the billions of grafts
it would bind, the millions of bimches of
vegetables it would tie up, and the count-
less vines it would help support on trellis
or wire.

For the past two months this same
Ra£B,a has been the bone of contention
in a contest between said firm and certain
New York City officials who are endea-
voring by means of city ordinances and
court proceedings to prevent the company
from storing the compressed bales of
Raffia in its building, in excess of a ton
or two — or what would constitute prac-
tically a seven days' supply. Incidentally,
such a restriction, if successfully imposed,
would make necessary an additional ware-
house outside the city limits, with accom-
panying trouble, labor and expense for all
concerned, or, what is more likely, it
would drive Mr. McHutchison out of the
Raffia business.

The trial has been heard on one day
each week since early in May, and it has
been said that a decision will be rendered
on June 13. Meanwhile, of course, we can
merely look on. But we can survey very
briefly the main facts of the case in order
to get an idea of what Mr. McHutchison
is ' up against."

During the Winter, McHutchison & Co.
received an order from the Fire Preven-
tion, or some related city bureau, calling
for the reduction of the amount of Raffia
stored in the building to a certain amount
as mentioned above. This order was
based on a certain ordinance designed to
prevent the accumulation in dangerous
quantities of "combustible fibre" which,
according to the ordinance, is defined as
"any finely divided vegetable or animal
fibre, including paper or cloth, in the form
of scraps or clippings."

Knowing that nothing of the kind had
ever been required before, Mr. McHutchi-
son appealed to the head of the bureau and,
when he had explained the situation, was
assured that the sending of the order was
a mistake and was told not to take any
notice of it, since another kind of form
would soon be sent him. With this definite
understanding he did nothing — until he
received definite charges of having failed
to comply with the law in regard to stored
fibres. Here began, automatically and
with ponderous, imavoidable legality and
red tape, the court proceedings in which,
notwithstanding the testimony of various
seed houses and demonstrations by Mr.
McHutchison, he has been unable to prove
to the satisfaction of the court the ri-
diculous nature of the charges based upon
the application of the ordinance to his
business.

He maintains, as we think will be gen-
erally agreed by those who know the ma-
terial, that Ra£B,a is not '^'finely divided,"
since each strand is the whole width of
the leaf from which it is taken; that in
his building it is not stored in the form
of scraps or clippings, but in solid, com-
pressed, iron boimd bales; that, by diction-
ary definition. Raffia is not a fibre at all,
and finally that however easily a single
loose strand of Raffia burns, a solid bale
is not only non-combustible, but practic-
ally non-burnable. To prove the latter
claim he has offered sworn testimony con-
cerning a test in which a bale of Raffia
was subjected for one hour and twenty-
five minutes to a hot fire of Pine boards,
saturated with kerosene, after which it
was found only that the covering had been
burnt off the bale and its weight reduced
{by charring around the outside) by 15
per cent.

Obviously, as he remarks, it would be
more to his advantage as o^Tier of the
building and the other stock stored there-
in, than to anyone else's, to protect the
premises in every possible way from fire
hazards. That he is doing so has been
stated by inspectors who in the past have
examined the building. And yet, despite
the acknowledged purpose of the ordi-
nance, its failure to apply in any respect
to baled Raffia, and all the dictates of a
commonsense interpretation, the wheels of
the law grind slowly on, causing inconveni-
ence, worry, interference with legitimate
business, and a lot of extra labor in look-
ing up data and preparing defensive ma-
terial— and all because of the red, red
tape!

For Better Postal Service

An investigation is now being made of
the parcel post system, the Postmaster
General has announced, by a special com-
mittee which will submit its report as
soon as possible in order that the situa-
tion may be remedied without delay.

The inquiry is being made at New York,
where nimierous complaints have been
made, but it is emphasized that the con-
ditions existing there are not merely of
local interest, but affect the entire coun-
try. The investigation is one phase of
a widespread study of the postal service
generally, which is being made in an ef-
fort to bring about an improvement as
rapidly as conditions will permit.

An independent investigation ia being
made of the air mail service, which has
already disclosed the fact that Congress
sanctioned only the establishment of the
transcontinental line, and that the side-
lines are being operated on the assur-
ance of the Comptroller of the Treasury
that the Post Office Department was jus-
tified in establishing them.

XTnemployment Increases Abroad

Statistics compiled by the Department
of Commerce show that 4,300,000 persona
are out of work or are working on part
time in Europe. This number covers un-
employment over the entire continent
(with the exception of Russia and the
Balkan States) where the total popula-
tion is approximately 250,000,000.

Bnrean of Information £stablislied

It is the wish of the president that vis-
itors to the sea-t of government shall have
every opportunity to get full information
concerning all governmental departments.
It is especially his desire that all those
who come to Washington to transact busi-
ness with any department or bureau of the
government may quickly be advised as to
the exact location and means of reaching
the particular department or bureau in
which may be centered the business which
they desire to transact.

For this' purpose there has been estab-
lished a Bureau of Information on the
ground floor of the Post Office Depart-
ment Building, located on Pennsylvania
ave. at Twelfth St., which is in charge of
competent people who will definitely an-
swer queries of this character.

The public is advised of this arrange-
bent and invited to make use of the fa.-
cility.

Double Daylight Saving

Owing to the great scarcity of coal in
Great Britain, due to the miners' strike,
which has lasted about two months, the
government has authorized the advance-
ment of the clocks one hour. Under the
Daylight Saving law the clocks were ad-
vanced one hour at the end of March,
with the new order, Britishers are now
two hours in advance of normal. In some
parts of Britain, with clocks two hours
ahead, darkness will fall about midnight.
There are not a few here who, owing to
our naturally shorter days, would like to
push the clocks ahead and so gain the ad-
ditional evening light.

Roses for Outdoors

If you handle potted Roses for outdoor
flowering during the Spring and early
Summer months, and you liave the room
outdoors, you may consider purchasing
now small stock out of 2V4's of some of
the popular sorts, such as Columbia,
Ophelia, Killarney and others, and plant
them into the field. With just a little
attention, these plants will grow into
fair sized plants by next Fall. Lift them
before they freeze too hard and heel into
a deep coldframe. There is no better way
to over-Winter such Roses than to cover
all the wood with moist soil and keep the
frost away, that is, after they had enough
cold weather to make them dormant. By
next January or February, pot the plants
into 5's, cut back a little and carry them
again in a frame. They will be ready
for your Spring sales and make fine flow-
ering stock. Push teas and hybrid teas
for outdoor planting; they are such fine
bloomers, even if not quite as hardy as
:ome others.

Ventilation for Sununer

Proper ventilation is of great impor-
;ance in a greenhouse, and more attention
han ever is being paid to it in the erec-
ion of new houses. The grower, however,
rith old houses often finds that due to

poor ventilation the stock inside suffers
during the Summer months, and rather
than have stock suffer, it is better to re-
move a few lights of glass and replace
them again in Fall. Chrysanthemums
enn't stand a lot of heat; they do best
when in a cool or well ventilated house.
A few paneg_ of glass removed along the
gutter line will give you relief in a poorly
ventilated house, and the same is true in
a Carnation house. For Roses, you can't
do it, but your 'Mums will appreciate it.
There is nothing worse for them than a
stuffy air; it is bound to produce a soft
growth, and that means that the plants
are more subject to disease and other
trouble. Open up things now; you want
a healthy growing atmosphere and not
sweatboxes to grow your plants in. When
there isn't enough ventilation in a house,
create some; it is an easy matter.

Pompon Chrysanthemums

The wholesale grower doesn't always
find the smaller flowering sorts of Chrys-
anthemums the best payers; it all de-
pends on market conditions when his
flowers are ready for cutting and shipping.
This is not so with the retail grower;
with him it especially pays to arrange it
so that he has a constant supply of Pom-
pons coming into flower from the middle
of October up to the middle or end of
December. He needs them every day dur-

ing that period and he has use for all the
colors he can get hold of. You can't do
business any longer with two or three
varieties; you need 20 of them, even if
you only grow a few hundred plants.
You want them early, midseason and late
and very late. Plant enough so you can
always cut a few of your own or have
them in flower for your patrons to look
at. The varieties of good Pompons are
almost endless, and with little trouble
you can have an interesting exhibit for
from eight to ten weeks and, if looked
after, but few flowers ever need to go to
waste. More small flowering sorts and
less single stemmed ones pay the smaller
grower best.

Thanksgiving 'Mums

Among the old sorts of Pompons but
few equal Mrs. Frank Beu for a Thanks-
giving Day bronze. The beginner should
always plant a good batch of them for
that important day. For a single pink,
and also for Thanksgiving Day, Mrs. God-
frey is still one of the best, and it also
belongs to every retail florist establish-
ment. Not to say that there are not a
number of other very desirable sorts of
later introductions, but you can plant still
of these two sorts. I flrmly believe that
every grower of 'Mxmis, whether he grows
for retail or wholesale, should each year
devote a bench or part of one to all the

newer sorts he can get hold of and give
them all a fair trial. There is nothing
more interesting nor more profitable. You
can't keep on growing the same sorts
year in, year out. Your patrons want
something different and new. They eee
other sorts elsewhere and expect you to
have them. Keep on trying and weeding
out those of the old sorts and carry the
ones which pay best.

Dracaena indivisa

There is no let up in the yearly demand
for Dracaena indivisa; this plant is used
as much as ever for the center of vases
and tubs. There is nothing to equal it
for that purpose, and every retail grower
wants at least a few hundred plants each
Spring. You may not want to grow on
your own stock from seed, but will surely
find it a profitable investment to purchase
now, some 3^ in. pot plants and plant
them into the field or a coldframe. They
will make a good growth this Summer and
should be lifted by the middle of Sep-
tember and potted up into 5's or-6's, ac-
cording to their size. You can carry
them in a Carnation house or even in a
cooler one over Winter; you will have
fine plants by next Spring. Even if you
only grow on a part oi your requdrements,
it will pay you to do so; you couldn't use
the space ' they take up to better advan-
tage..

a medium for the development of the dis-
ease spores which lay in the soil and
attack the stems the following year, re-
sulting in the destruction of the plants in
a few seasons. Affected stems should at
once be cut away as close to the root as
possible. The disease often affects the
sterna below ground a^id therefore no
portion should be left.

As a further safeguard it is advisable to
remove the surface soil around affected
plants, replacing it with fresh, mixing the
same with a handful of flowers of sul-
phur. The disease is invariably brought
about through mulching the roots with
fresh manure. Try fertilizing with bone
meal in future.

The Land of Manatee, Fla,

From Reasoner Sros., Oneco, Fla.,
comes a beautifully illustrated brochure
bearing the above title. It is published
by the cities of Brandentown, Palmetto
and Manatee. On the cover is a map of
Tampa Bay and surrounding territory.
The three cities are located near the
mouth of the Manatee Biver; Oneco is
no great distance. The booklet is devoted
to extolling the beauties of Manatee
County, the garden spot of Florida. The
beautiful illustrations show how fruits and
market truck produce revel in the rich
soil, and also give one an idea of the
general charm of the entire neighborhood.
Much descriptive matter is embodied in
the twenty-four pages and a special invi-
tation is given to those with moderate
capital and an aptitude for work. **Flo-
rida has no rewards for the idler or the
shirker" is the admonition.

Beacon (N. Y.) Home Garden
Brigade

From the Beacon Daily Herald we
gather that the Home Garden Brigade is
attracting more and more children each
year. Founded some thirteen years ago,
largely through the efforts of Benjamin
Hammond, the brigade has devoted it-
self to making Beacon a neater and pret-
tier town. The school children, with the
assistance of their parents have done
much in the way of making flowers and
vegetables flourish aroxmd their home lots.
According to Mr. Hammond's experience,
the encouragement given by the brigade,
has made children more thrifty and set
them on the road as good citizens. The
list of members as given in the Herald
fills four columns.

I have admired your paper and believe
it to be the best trade journal published.
Your dignified policy, fairness and able
editorials, compare with those of the
best of the metropolitan journals and I
wish you continued and well deserved
success. Sincerely yours,

R. G. Hanfoed.

Norwalk, Conn., May 29, 1921.

The Florists' Exchange does not make
a business of soliciting testimonials or
commendations, hence such a letter as that
from Mr. Hanford is highly welcome.
This gentleman, as he truly says, was one
of our oldest advertisers, and we regret,
out of our own selfish motives, his leaving
the field; on the other hand, however, we
wish to congratulate him, if he is now
going to be able to take a well earned
letup from active business. Mr. Hanford
was one of several advertisers (some of
whom are with us yet) who built up a
business solely through their ads in The
Exchange, coupled with good stock and
fair business dealing. Mr. Hanford had
been an advertiser in this paper for some
30 years, always using its ad columns as
his various seasons came along.

Peony Diseased

Please say what is the cause of en-
closed Peony stem dying and how the
disease can be combated. — H. K., N. Y.

—The stem sent is badly affected with
the Drooping Disease, Botrytis or Sclero-
Una pteonice. The disease first shows it-
self in the form of a white mould, us-
ually just about the time the buds are
half grown. The stems quickly droop
and eventually die. Fallen stems, if al-
lowed to remain on the ground, serve as

Hanford's Floral Hall Sells Out

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

I telephoned to you last week asking
you to cancel my ad in The Florists' Ex-
change. This was done for the reason
that the greenhouses and business so long
conducted in Norwalk (Conn.) under the
name of "Hanford's Floral Hall" were
sold on Saturday, May 21, to the South
Norwalk Florists, of South Norwalk,
Conn.

This action, severing relations so pleas-
ant and satisfactory on my part, was not
taken without deep regret. I must have
been one of your oldest advertisers.

From the first my space was a profitable
investment and never failed to bring re-
turns and move my surplus stock. Through
it, I built up a circle of customers and
friends throughout the East, occasionally
extending even to the Pacific Coast and
to the Gulf States.

take 15 years to complete the drainage of all the

timates the work can be done in three years at a

All Kinds of Business Good

The floral business in Louisville
has g"one along just about the same dur-
ing the last week and the demand has not
suffered much change. Business has been
good, especially on porch "boxes and out-
side flowers, while that on cut flower stock
has been very good. Of the cut flowers,
Roses have been most in demand. Ferns
and palms have been going well for sev-
eral days and there has been an increasing
demand for ferns in particular during the
latter jjart of the week.

The funeral trade has been large lately,
and florists say that it is better than it
has been for some time. The majority
of the recent fimerals have been large
ones, calling for a great many large sized
floral pieces and inmmierable cut flowers
of all deBcriptions. Wreaths have figured
largely in most funeral orders, while a
great many small plants have been sold
for planting around the graves.

Many advance orders are being taken
for both house and church decorations,
for weddings to be held in June. From
the number of orders already received
and the rate at which more are coming
in, June 1921 will be a bigger wedding
month than usual.

Florists are at present busy preparing
for Memorial Day, for which many ad-
vance orders have been received. Floral
pieces are going to be a big number this
year, and the back rooms of the floral es-
tablishments are already filled with or-
ders that have been made up.

Commencement week in Louisville is
about due, and inquiries regarding prices
and decoration and advance orders are
coming in fast. Statistics show that 72
commencement exercises will be held in
the city this year, during the month of
June.

August Baumer, conducting a florist
shop on Chestnut St., recently announced
that he will do no business on Sunday.
He has urged his customers to do their
buying on Saturday, in order that he may
give his employees their day of rest every
week.

A truck belonging to the Nanz & Neu-
ner Co., florists, recently collided with
another car at a point just outside of
Louisville.* Irwin Bierle, who was driving
the truck, was injured about the face and
head, and Theodore Zeitz, riding with
him, was injured slightly. They were
taken to Bierle's home in St. Mathews.

Anders Rasmussen, New Albany florist,
has recently been summoned to appear be-
fore the Grand Jury to testify as to the
condition of the city in regard to gam-
bling there. Mr. E,asmussen is well known
in New Albany and is one of the advo-
cates for the new city manager plan of
government there. A campaign to elimi-
nate gambling is now on there, and it is
believed that he will be of great help in
the present city clean-up drive.

The Kentucky Society of Florists is
planning a new organization for the pur-
pose of operating a cooperative commis-
sion house, supplying retailers with flow-

be worked out so that the retailers will
be saved a great deal of money through
ordering in larger quantities and saving
on express charges.

THE BRILLIANT RED GERANIUM

A "Say it with Flowers" Story, by Lester G. Herbert

HE WHS 11 liiiU' jji-owii liul wild WHS jusl Ijottln-
iiiiig to reveal ill liis own life iiwakeiiiiiK iiloiis
o£ iiulepeiiileiiee ami self-exiu'essioii. He had
sueceetled in ^ettiiis liis family to make liim ii mod-
est, weekly allowance, and like most boys, a large
part of tbis promptly found its way into the money
drawer of the candy maker, tlie baker, or the movie
liouse.

In fact, our lad was not at all different from other
boys, and sometimes when the allowance disappeared
mysteriously before the week was anywhere near
liver, ho was iihlc tti wheedle an extra quarter or
half from an indulgent parent.

Kut this mother, although indulgent, was inclined
to be on the alert for the possible evils which might
overtake this man-child of hers. Sometimes she was
torn with doubt. If she gave him too much money —
it would surely spoil him. If she gave bim too little,
he might be tempted to play some game of chance
and thus learn to gamble.

It was Wednesday and the allowance was gone,
and the lad came for a little supplementary cash.
After giving him a rather strong lecture on the ex-
travagance and carelessness of youth, a half dollar
was handed out to bim, and he was told that this
must last until Saturday.

And yet, the next day the boy came again, saying
'■That money is gone and — and the fellows are going
to have a treat after school, and they elected me on
the Sandwich Committee, and I haven't any money,
and if you'll give me another half dollar, you can
take it out of m.v allowance next week."

Then this mother was seized with a sudden fear.
What had become of the money of yesterday, for the
boy seemed unwilling to tell? Had he bought for-
bidden cigarettes, or done something he did not like
to confess? For once the lips of the mother were set
in a straight line.

"I shall not give jou another cent," she said, "un-
less you tell me what you did with the half dollar
extra you have already had."

If that mother had only noticed, there was almost a
pleading look upon the face of the fifteen year old,
and finally, shamefacedly he told the story.

It was that of a trembling old woman who had
waited and waited to cross the street on a blustery
day when the pavement was icy, and the autos were
thick and liurrying. At last he had taken her by
the arm aud helped her across, and then noticing
how thinly clad she was, aud how the slender arm
trembled, he went with her to her own door. He had
never seen quite such a barren, forsaken place ; there
was nothing in it to cheer or attract. So be hurried
back to the main street, went into the nearest flo-
rist's shop, and for his half dollar bought a grow-
ing Geranium, crowned with a wonderful velvety scar-
let blossom. He had it wrapped in stout paper to
protect it from the frosty air, and ten minutes later
placed it upon the bare table in the little old woman's
room.

"But," exclaimed bis mother with that practical
overflowing of socalled common sense which people
are so likely to exhibit, "it would have meant more
to her to have taken her a loaf of bread, and a pack-
age of oatmeal, and a little coffee."

But the boy shook his head.

"No, Mother," he said, "you ought to have seen her
eyes light up and have heard her voice tremble as
she remarked tenderly :

" 'The last blossom 1 had of my own was the one
that my little John put into my hands as he lay
in the hospital after he was hurt. Tou should have
known John. He was too good for this world, and
that's why he was taken Home.

" 'I — I was about discouraged this morning. Laddie,
and ready to end it all, for it seemed as though there
was nothing to live for, but the world has changed
suice then, for the flres of love aud kindness have
been lighted in my heart by that brilliant red
Geranium.' "

■■I can't help it. Mother," the boy went on, "1 think
I was right. The blossom meant more to her than
Ire (1 and sugar and tea."

And the mother said nothing, as she opened her
pocketbook and drew out another half dollar.

How little we are likely to appreciate just all that
the half-grown, awkward boy may feel as he drops
in to "look around," or stops and stares into the flo-

rist's window. One may think because bis bands are
.i;riiny and liis hair toii.sled, that ho looks upon
flowers as quite outside of his realm. But have you
ever talked to those boys? Have you ever interested
tlie "iiewsie" in a wonderful orchid, or explained to
some i'urious, long-legged chap, the marvels of a bril-
liant lilossoui V

It may be that your little note of interest may be
the reliiiing inlluouce wliich will just make him a
flower lover for life, or it may be that your words
will speak to the soul of the budding man, of the
love of the Creator.

Do not begrudge the time you may spend to help
boys and girls, and older people, too, for that mat-
ter, to realize the Message of Flowers.

Pearls of Business Wisdom
for the Retailer

By LESTER G. HERBERT

Regard your word as binding as your written bond.
In consequence, be careful not to give your word
until you understand all that it entaUs.

* * *

When you make a business engagement, plan to
meet it. Arrange that the meeting, conference or
gathering will mean enough to you to repay you for
the time and effort expended.

* * *

Select some companions and friends who are more
sophisticated in progressive business Ideas than you
are. Study them and learn wherein they surpass you
in experience and shrewdness.

* * *

Many men fail because they have no flxed ideas
as to just what their principles of right and wrong
are. Establish your own standards, choosing from
among- the best aud most finely tested that the
world has even known. Then having adopted these
sffindards, live and die for them.

When you find yourself faced with a necessity for
a definite choice, make such a choice. But take time
enough to be sure you are choosing right.

« « *

You cannot expect to attend to all the details of
your business yourself. But you can and should super-
vise and inspect such details regtilarly. This keeps
assistants and employees on their toes, and encour-
ages them to do their best.

* * *

The proper financing of your business is the life
blood of your organization. Meet your obligations
promptly, even if you have to borrow money to do it.
In fact, borrowing money at an annual rate per cent
is good business if it enables you to buy more closely,
to take your discounts, and to increase your turnover.

* * *

Never act hastily, and be sure when you do act,
you are within your rights. Avoid litigation. If,
however, it is necessary to have the aid of a lawyer,
do not hesitate. Employ the best you can get. Do it
at once. A good lawyer will keep you out of trouble,
and save anxiety and expense.

* * *

In all your business dealings be straightforward,
honorable, prompt and reliable. By such means, you
will build up confidence and good will. These are
as valuable assets as cash.

* * *

You have no right to condemn a competitor's price
or methods. His way of doing business is his own
personal responsibility. Happily, you have only your-
self and your own affairs to answer for to the public.
Be sure that you are tolerant, kindly, fair and en-
tirely up-to-the minute yourself.

* * *

Attend to your business mail promptly. Dreading
it will not do it. Usually a very little time is all
that is necessary when you get at it. Have a regu-
lar time for this work, and do it when you should.

* * *

Study conditions in your own particular field. Join
your local and national trade organization. Keep
posted, and learn through observation and contact
why the big men in your line are leaders.

* * *

Keep a close watch upon the trend of business af-
fairs from a national standpoint. Do not live a
from-band-to-mouth existence. Keep your eyes ahead.
Those who are watching tell us that business will
grow steadily and strong from now on through the
year, with probable rising markets for goods and
labor. A word to the wise is sufficient.

* * *

Self-control or self-possession is one of the best
possessions in the world. Do not yield to impatience,
fear, sluggish habits, or the deadening disease of
routine endlessly repeated. Think whether you can
better your routine, cut down expenses, or increase
your business.

Score One for Our Memorial Day Story

As we have remarked before, we felt that there
was a sound kernel of good, practical suggestion
buried in that little Memorial Day story— "Disons
avec les Fleurs" — that we ran in the May 14 issue.
And here is one justification, at least of our belief.
The author has sent us the following extract from a
letter written by his father in Chicago, to whom, know-
ing the paternal interest, Mr. Seymour had submitted
a copy of the sketch for criticism aud suggestion:

"Oh, that little flower story struck me as charming.

Miss H and her mother, who are here, have read

it, also Tom P . The latter told me that it had

prompted him- to wire to New York for a big bunch of
red Roses to be sent to the mother, there, of his
"buddie" who was Jiilled in France. So you see, it
is propaganda, all right."

So much, then, for the suggestive value of the story
to one member of the average public— in this case, the
story unaided by any definite appeal or offer of co-
operation. How much more might it have accom-
plished if presented diplomatically by a florist willing
and equipped to give full expression to whatever in-
terest the idea aroused in his customers? Indeed, we
are wondering if any retailer did attempt to capitalize
the idea. If so, we and the readers of The Exohanoe
will be glad to hear how it all worked out.

Poor Stock But Good Business

A cold week and continued cloudy
weather made stock for Memorial Day
very scarce. Peonies were poor, owing
to the late frost which injured the buds and
prevented their development into good
flowers. Prices were about the same as
last year, with $15 per 100 the top price
for A-1 stock, the retailers charging from
$3 to §4 per doz. The lowest quotation
was §8, but stock of this type was ac-
cepted only for emergency use. It was
everywhere noted that the flowers were
vastly inferior to those of last Memorial
Day.

The day in Washington is not observed
to the same degree that it is farther
North. However, all of the local retailers
are reported as having done a satisfactory
business. The growers and wholesalers
also did well, for as there was not an
oversupply of anything at all, aU varie-
ties sold up clean.

Outdoor Kambler Roses, usually cut in
large quantities to be used in the decora-
tion of graves, were ruined by the weather
conditions that have prevailed for several
weeks. In fact, all outdoor stock was
scarce. Sweet William was, as usual, in
big demand. It is getting late for Pansies,
but there were plenty to be had and they
sold well at an aveiage price of 10c. per
bunch.

Carnations are getting small with the
waning season and are not very desir-
able, yet they brought up to $8 per 100.
iSweet Peas also are poor, with sales
dragging at from §1 to §1.50 per 100'.
Coreopsis sells only at this particular time
of the year, and for decorative purposes
it moved weU.

Larkspur and Calendula helped fill out
the list of offerings. Candytuft and Corn-
flower both sold well.

During the week there was a shortage
of Koses. The Hose is not a Memorial
Day llower and so there were enough to go
around. Kussell is the best, bringing in
various grades up to $35 per 100. Double
white Killarneys brought $6 to $12, with
$15 per 100 for some specials.

Some Retailers' Opinions

"We did a very satisfactory
Memorial Day business, especially in
view of the condition of the stock," said
Manager Otto Bauer of the S. 1:5. Pennock
Co. "We were compelled to turn down
some of the last minute orders for Hoses,
Sweet Peas and Carnations on accoimt of
the condition of supplies. The retailer
whQ did not place his orders early and
who did not buy in advance, found it diffi-
cult to get his wants fiUed. Prices were
about the same as last year except for Peo-
nies which, being inferior in quality, failed
to bring the higher prices of a year ago,
and Roses which brought a little better
money as a whole, especially Russells,
v/hich were in excellent crop.

"We look for an imusually good June
business. This is predicted on the basis
of the large ntmiber of orders we have al-
ready booked for Lily of the Valley,
orchids and Roses, for June weddings and
commencements. Many orders are coming
in from out of town marked for future de-
liveries."

Albert Schnell, manager of the Leo
Niessen Co. store, also reported a satis-
factory Memorial Day business. "We had
some mighty good stock to offer," he said,
"so we could not fail to enjoy a good
trade."

Mr. Schnell has found the sale of imi-
tation Flanders Poppies quite good. As
is probably the case in many other towns
and cities, these are being used for strew-
ing on tlie graves of the soldier dead of the
late war. In Washington they are being
dropped from airplanes.

Among the visitors of the past week
were Theodore Wirth of Minneapolis,
Minn.; S. J. Verhalen of Marshall, Tex.;
V. Breckner of Silesia, Md.; W. H. Eiss,
representing the Kasting Co. of Buffalo,
N. Y., and Theo T. Fryer and W. Ker-
nan of New York. Mr. Wirth came here
to attend the graduating exercises at the
United States Naval Academy at Annapo-
lis, Md.

Itocal Club Meets June 6

Secretary Harry B. Lewis has sent
out cards announcing that the nest meet-
ing of the Washington Florists Club 'will
be held in Room 318, Chamber of Com-
merce, on Monday, June 6, at 8 p.m. Presi-
dent Otto Bauer states that the princi-
pal business of the evening will have to
do with the forthcoming convention of
the S. A. F. and 0. H.

Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Gude returned
to Washington last week from Wernera-
ville. Pa., where they have been staying
for several weeks in an effort on the part
of Mr. Gude to regain his health. The
visit home was a short one, Mr. Gude
being anxious to be "on the job" for
Memorial Day, and he and Mrs. Gude re-
turned to the Pennsylvania place the fol-
lowing Wednesday.

Dr. W. W. Evans of the Ivandale Floral
Company, Hamilton, Va., suffered hea\'y
losses during the recent hailstorm which
swept down froni Hagerstown, Md. It is
reported that the hail broke about one-
third of his glass; the stones were so
-large that it is said they went through
the tops of automobiles.

A Groxirer*s View of Business

"Memorial Day business in the Cen-
ter Market was very good," said Robert
Bowdler. "We were somewhat handi-
capped by the poor quality. of the Peonies
and the outdoor stock, and the shortage
of many varieties. You see, the first buds
of the Peonies were killed by the frost
and the side shoots came out bad and
produced very small flowers. We sold
I them for $3 and ?4 per doz., the same as
last year. The local crop of Peonie.* was
I almost entirely cut out; what remained
I did not amount to much and most of our
stock had to be brought in here from
other places. According to some of the
Washington growers, their Peony crop
netted them only about a ten per cent cut
for Memorial Day. This was a great dis-
appointment to them for early in the sea-
son the plants looked fine — the frost was
responsible for the later condition.

"A good many outdoor flowers that we
would ordinarily, have had for the day
were missing. Laurel was off the mar-
ket entirely and Sweet William wag i^e-
ginning to look seedy. There were only
a few Rambler Roses compared with past
years, for they too were badly hit by the
frost.

"The market stalls were plentifully sup-
plied with artificial flowers because the
market florists had been watching the sit-
uation closely and realized that there
would be a big shortage of what we call
strictly Memorial Day flowers. Their
foresight was rewarded, for there was a
big demand for artificial stock in the ab-
sence of the natural flowers." E. A. D.

k [The Florist's Viewpoint

An editorial in jthe Boston Telegram^ on
May 8j branded florists as Judas Iscariots,
"men who in their rush for gold will walk
over the bodies of their own friends," and
advised that "before another Mother's
Day conies, the women of Boston should
secure Carnations and sell them so that
Mother's Day will not be tainted by the
profiteering pollution of petty grafters."

The following is a reply to this editorial
which was subsequently made to the Bos-
ton Telegram and printed by that news-
paper;

'In' answer to your editorial of May 8,
entitled "Judas Iscariot," being a regu-
lar reader of the Telegram and knowing
that your intentions were for the good of
all, 1 feel that tlie reasons for your criti-
cism were based on your lack of knowl-
edge of the flower business.

"The grower tries his hardest to have
a full crop for the special holidays, such
as Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day and
Memorial Day. The coming of the crop
depends a good deal on the weather. If
we have continuous dull weather (as was
the case for the ten days previous to
Mother's Day), the crop does not ma-
terialize, resulting in a scarcity of flowers;
and as the prices in our business are
wholly regulated by supply and demand,
naturally the prices are higher than when
we have simny, bright weather.

"Furthermore, a grower who grows Car-
nations or Roses ten months in the year
cannot cut any more than his regular cut
on any day, regardless of the weather.
Flowers grow, whereas other merchandise
is manufactured. We cannot grow addi-
tional lots for special days.

"In order to satisfy the demand, grow-
ers sometimes keep the flowers on the
plants for a week previous to the holiday
and, as these do not last very long after
tliey are cut, they are sold to second and
third class florists, leaving all the best
grades for the first class florists' stores.

"The above gives you part information
from a grower's standpoint, and the fol-
lowing is the retailer's view. We paid
from 16c. to 20c. each for Carnations, buy-
ing them by the thousand. When you
consider the overhead expenses of a re-
tail establishment, do you consider 25c.
each (which was the price in our store)
too much, considering the perishable na-
ture of our business? The retailer makes
less gross profit when flowers are high
than when they are low, as we try not to
discourage flower buying with unfair
prices."

Memorial Day Eve Notes

The change from frost to intense
heat almost over night, has had a some-
what depressing influence on Memorial
Day's shipping trade which is now in
full swing. So, also, is the bedding plant
trade; copious rains have fallen and
made fine conditions for planting out, so
every one is hustling just now to get their
gardens planted. There are apparently
plenty of bedding plants, such as Gerani-
ums, Petunias, etc., in full bloom ready
for immediate display and the work Is
being pushed so that all hands may be
ready for the rush that will certainly
take place on Sunday and Monday. It is
safe to say that more plants and flowers
will be handled then than on any other two
days in the year.

'The plant trade will be all right and
easily handled but the cut flower end will
be more diflicult owing to the heat at
present prevailing. Shipped in stock like
Peonies, Gladioli and Jasmines will be a
ticklish proposition for those retailers
who have placed good sized orders. Kosea
are in fair supply, but there is no great
abundance of Carnations, while Sweet
Peas and Snapdragon feel the effect of
the heat very quickly. Prices at whole-
sale follow the Chicago quotations closely.
At retail $2 to ?3 per doz. will be the
prevailing prices on both Roses and Car-
nations, which flowers will be the main
standby in home grown stock. Gladioli
of good quality will bring $4 to $5, Peonies
about $3 and Jasmines $1 to $1.50. Mixed
bouquets at from $1 up will also sell well.

The death of Fred Milham, a lifelong
resident here, and the president of what
is_ claimed to be the largest book paper
mill in the world, will undoubtedly be
followed by a call for an extensive
amount of cut flowers and funeral de-
signs, when the interment takes place. The
coming week will undoubtedly see the cut
flower market well cleaned up. S. B.

9 Out of 10

A high average. Not easy of attainment. Nevertheless, from the ready
manner in which retailers throughout the country have bought our

De Luxe Design Book

when given the opportunity of a before-hand inspection, we are con-
vinced that nine out of ten if given similar opportunity would consider
the DE LUXE DESIGN BOOK a distinct business asset in their estab-
lishments.

The illustrations of practical designs to suit all
classes of demand have that power of salesmanship
which improves the reading of the total on the cash
register at night.
We have over fifty out-of-town representatives who will gladly present
the DE LUXE DESIGN BOOK for your inspection on request. If you are
not easy of access to our nearest representative a copy of the book will
be sent you on a ten day approval. The price, postpaid, $4.50.
Notification on the blank below will have prompt attention.

Why Dye Sweet Peas?

The recent advertising of

McCl.enahan's Yellow Flower Dye

prompted a reader of The Exchange to ask the above
question. Here's the answer in SEVEN REASONS:

(1) There is no real yellow, apricot or burnt orange Pea
supplied by nature.

(2) The public has a liking for these colors and shades and
buy them repeatedly just as they do lavender, pink, etc.

(3) The greater the variety of desirable colors the more
Peas the retailer will sell.

(4) Quantities of white or light pink Peas are only required
occasionally and the dyeing process fits in at all other times.

(5) In many designs such as that of the "Eastern Star"
yellow flowers that stand up well are needed. Here's where the
yellow Carnation gives admirable service.

(6) Yellow, apricot or burnt orange Peas with dark blue
or purple in corsage work will raise the standard of your art.

(7) The cost is almost nil. One quart will dye about
2500 Peas or Ic. per bunch of 25.

The dye keeps indefinitely in dry form, dissolves instantly
and one solution will last from one to two weeks.

Price, sufficient for one quart, $1.00, prepaid
Six for $5.00.

Luther Burbank says:
He Would Quit

Business If He Could
Not Have His

Skinner System

Down In Del Vaile, Texas,
there is a man by the name
of E. P. Norwood. He is one
of those careful buyers who
have to be shown.

We did our best, but he
still wanted further convince-
ment. So he sent out a
questionnaire, one of which
went to Luther Burbank,
the Wizard of Plant Develop-
ment.

Burbank answered every
question in such a flat-footed
way, reckon you would like
to know what he said.

Here are Mr. Norwood's
questions and Burbank's
answers. No wonder Nor-
wood promptly bought a
Skinner System Installation.

"I am thinking of in-
staUing a Skinner Sys-
tem of Irrigation and
would appreciate some

The Skinner

225 Water St.

as to Its
successful

information
m.erits and
operation.

Please point out to
me, its defects or merits,
from a user's stand-
point." •

Answer: "It has no
defects; is perfect and
has everywhere given
satisfaction. I have
used it extensively for
ten years."

"Have the Systems
you know of, been a
success or not ? "
Answer: "Everywhere."

"You will like it. A
water and time saver.
Think I would quit busi-
ness if I could not have
Skinner System."

Daffodil Disease Overcome in Holland

]

TIlE iKromiian.viiif; notes from Dr. E. %'nu Slog-
tiMvu shcmkl he ot high interest to Importers of
Holland hulhs. as It is made fairly plain that
the Holland growers of standing are prepared to guar-
antee freedom from eelworm and presumably Daffodil
fly al.«o as the treatment for eehvorm destroys the
larva of the lly. The development of the eelworm
trouble amcuig DalTodils was probably not loealized ;

; eelworm is prevalent in many places, especially in low
lying lands. It is possible, too, that the Holland grow-
ers got eelworm through re-buying bulbs that had been
forced by the English forcers who, maybe, had used
old Cucumber and other soil for the bidhs. It used
to be customary a few years back for some Holland
growers to buy back forced bulbs if the forcers had
not cut the foliage. The fact that the new and val-

i uable sorts were mure generally affected is in keep-
ing with the usual run of things, but it may possibly
have beeu more noticeable because of their scarcity.
The photograph of a box of forced bulbs after treat-
ment is satisfactory evidence that treated bulbs will
force, although our correspondent does not quote the
date of flowering.

Dr. van Slogtereu it should be said, has devoted
much time to the study of the Daffodil disease, and
In some correspondence in the British papers last sea-
son he claimed that the English scientist, J. K. Rams-
bottom, had copied rather than devised tJbie hot water
treatment.

Both these scientists have set forth considerable
data regarding the Daffodil disease and deserve credit
for the outcome of their investigations.

or English, grower or forcer, large fields planted with
DalTodils, without any diseased bulbs.

The heavy inanuring bears no relation to the spread
of the disease ; in fact, we do not give the heavy man-
uring to the Daffodils we give to Hyacinths and Tu-
lips. The DalVodils are often grown without any inauure
at all, or after another crop which lias been inanurcd,

A mite disease does not exist iu tliu Dutch Daffo-
diUs and only bulbs that have been damaged by an-
other cause are attacked by miles. The mites are
exclusively secondary parasites.

Kcgarding the costs of the warm water treatment
of bulbs, we have constructed hi Holland a boiler that
can contain one or two hectoliters {21-: to .') bushels)
of bulbs at the same time. By means of a thermostat
the water is kept accurately at a fixed temperature.
The Iioiler is heated by ordinary gas or. if this is not
obtainable, l).\' petrol gas. Tlie boiler works economi-
cally and makes the little man quite independent of
the benevolence of his bigger colleague. We have had
splendid results with this boiler.

I can state that bulbs subjected to the water treat-
ment, will force as well or better than untreated bulbs,
if the treatment is given iu the right way and at the
right moment.

Herewith I send some photographs of bulbs that
have been forced after giving them a treatment
against the eelworm disease. The growth of the
foliage especially is much better after the • treatment
than with the untreated ones.

From the above it may be assumed that Holland
can send Daffodils to America with a guarantee that
they are healthy. De. B. Van .Slogteren.

Editor The Florists' Exchange :

Eeferring to the article on the Daffodil disease In
The Florists' Exchange of April 9, 1921, may I be
permitted to make a few remarks.

After ample researches and experiments, I have
seen that the eelworm, that brought on the ring dis-
ease of the Hyacinths, is not the same pest that was
the cause of the great losses in the cultures of Daffo-
dils.

All the cases of diseased Daffodils iu Holland I
could refer to were imported bulbs. The Dutch Daf-
fodil stocks have been infected by the import of dis-
eased stock from England, especially between the
years 1910-1914. Above all it was the new varieties
which brought the disease to Holland.

To get rid pf the disease we must as well clean the
soil as the planting stock. For the latter, we found
a great help In the hot water method, but this will
be of very little use if not accompanied with the
cleaning of our grounds.

This cleaning of the soil can be performed much
better in the light, sandy soil of Holland than in the
dark, heavy soil of England. As we have been fight-
ing the eelworm disease from the beginning very vig-
orously, both in our planting stocks and in our cul-
ture grounds, we now have mastered the disease.

The Itlarket

May 28. — Business in the floral
trade is slowing up somewhat, but during
this week there has been a big demand
for corsages on account of the races.
Then the hospital graduations have called
for a large number of corsages and bou-
quets.

Dunlops, Ltd., finds business good for
this time of the year, and has had con-
siderable business on account of the races,
including an order for flowers from Her
Excellency the Duchess of Devonshire and
^arty. They also supplied many bouquets
tor the hospital graduations. George M.
Oeraghty entertained a party of ten at
his Summer home. Pilgrims* Eest, Geo-
gian Bay, over the holiday.

Chas. Cooper states that, as was ex-
pected, business is slowing up somewhat,
but he expects considerable wedding busi-
ness in June and is preparing for it. He
has a large stock of Carnations and is
showing some particularly fine ones grown
by Mrs. Haig of Bowmanville. Stock in
general is plentiful.

Chas. Pynaert and jiarty from Ghent,
Belgium, were recent visitors to the city.
They intend visiting the principal centers
in Canada and the United States. They
state that they were able to dispose of
some stock during the German occupation,
but now find the United States market
closed to them.

Tidy & Son have many orders for wed-
ding decorations and bouquets for June
weddings. They supplied a great many
corsages for the races anu bouquets for
the graduation exercises at the General,
Grace and Western Hospitals.

H. C. Dillemuth states that the stock at
present is just equal to the demand. Busi-
ness has been excellent during the past
week. There has been much social en-
tertaining with a demand for table deco-
rations and flowers for personal wear.
Hospital graduations have made a de-
mand for bouquets and there has been
lots of funeral work.

Delegates to the Botary Club conven-
tion at Edinburgh have given large orders
for F. T. D. work.

Mr. Cahill of the Roman J. Irwin Co.,
New York, has been in the city.

Bonnet's property. Queen st. West, on
which the greenhouses were located, is
being built up into stores. His new houses
at Bowmanville are being assembled
rapidly.

The Toronto Retailers' picnic will be
held at Long Branch on July 6, and all
florists and their families are invited.

The Albambra Florist is sending out an
effective blotter in connection with the
Jime bride trade.

Canada at Large

Canadian and Toronto committees
are at work in connection with the coming

F, T. D. convention. At London, where
Messrs. Gammage, Dick and Hamilton are
located, plans are being made to entertain
motorists on their way to the convention.

Jennings of Brampton is delivering
some especially fine Carnations as well as
Sweet Peas and Snapdragons.

The Georgetown Floral Co. is sending
some of its new Gladioli.

Mrs. Thos. Lemieux, florist of Quebec,
P. Q., died recently.

The Montreal Gardeners and Florists
Association will hold a flower show this
Fall. W. C. Hall is chairman of a finance
committee to raise funds for the exhibi-
tion.

At the last meeting of the season of
the Hamilton Gardeners and Florists As-
sociation, there was an open discussion on
cooperation. H. E. Groves spoke of the
losses on the part of the grower, due to
crop failure and stock spoiling. W. E.
Groves spoke for the retailer and depre-
cated the custom of raising prices for
holidays, a practice followed by practic-
ally all the growers today. The discus-
sion showed that the general outlook for
cooperation was good. Another matter
brought up was the question of bringing
flowers from a distance making it neces-
sary for the grower to ship the same va-
rieties long distances for a market. By
buying in the local districts this condition,
with its added expense, would be elimi-
nated. G. C. K.

St Louis, Mo.

The Market

Weather conditions have influenced
the market all week and prices for Me-
morial Day were lower than expected.
Peonies were quoted at 5c. and 6c. Car-
nations were somewhat scarce at 6c to 8c.
Roses were plentiful, but quality was not
up to the mark; in fact, all flowers showed
, the effects of warm weather. Jessamines
flooded the market and they did not ap-
pear to move as rapidly as in former
years. From now on business will be
limited, June weddings and school com-
mencements being the special features.

Notes

Reports from the retailers at time
of writing, Sunday, May 29, report good
business for Memorial Day.

Artificial Poppies were worn by the
thousand.

C. Young & Sons, Grimm & Gorly and
Mullanphy had special downtown window
displays for Memorial Day.

H. G. Berning had large consignments
in Peonies and other flowers.

C. A. Kuehn had a fine assortment of
seasonable flowers during the past week.
Some specially fine Peonies were displayed
on the counters.

Geo. H- Angermueller is still busy with
supply orders and cleans out daily in the
flower department.

Six Months for

A Baltimore court on Tuesday last imposed a six
months' sentence on F. B. McKee charged by The
Flobists' Exchange with obtaining money from its
publishers under false pretences.

We welcome to the honor roll of Sunday closers,
August Baumer of Louisville (Ky.) who, according
to our current newsletter has announced that his cus-
tomers should do their week-end buying on Saturday
as he is going to do no more business on the Sabbath
"in order that he may give his employees their day of
rest every week." That's the right spirit. May Mr.
Baumer's increased week day business more than
make up for whatever Sunday trade he might have
done had he put mere commercialism above con-
sideration for his workers.

The Tribute of the Posts

In thousands of villages and towns were gathered
on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30, in their parks or
wherever available, the local posts of the American
Legion, Boy and Girl Scouts, school children and the
populace, to do honor to those American soldiers who
had fallen on the field of honor in the discharge of
their duties throughout the Great War.

In the majority of cases, the ceremonies were brief
but impressive. A Post otBcer was in charge and
made a short introduction. A feeling letter from
President Harding was read in which he breathed
lite into the spirit and the purposes of the meeting.
One or two national hymns were sung. "Flanders
Fields" was recited in many cases and the meeting
closed with a prayer. Children waiting, each with a
bouquet of flowers, then passed in line, emptying their
flowers into large baskets provided for the occasion;
these were then lifted into automobiles and taken by
the Post to be strewn on the graves of its departed.

This is the week of the advent of the June bride,
but also, at least for most of us in the North tem-
perate latitudes, of the Rose Chafer as weU. For a
month or more there will be weeping and gnashing
of teeth as we observe the depredations caused by
these ungainly creatures. Some day, perhaps, we will
have to call them something other than Rose bugs
inasmuch as reports already received this season indi-
cate that where a choice is given they seem to be
preferring Peonies to Rose plants. We have even
noted on Long Island a handsome Linden tree heavily
infested with the bugs.

In consequence, one of the perennial problems for
all gardeners is now how best to combat these insects.
^,. How satisfactory, in your experience, is arsenate of
lead? Under what conditions can chickens be relied
upon to keep plants free? Must laborious hand pick-
ing be resorted to? Of course we realize that differ-
ent conditions call for different kinds of treatment.
What we would like, therefore, would be to have brief
accounts from many of our readers as to just what
they have done and with what degree of success. Per-
haps we could compile from the results a set of direc-
tions that would provide us all in future with really
effective armament.

By the way, who can say offhand where this pes-
tiferous beetle came from? Is it a native of this —
so-to-speak — generally favored land, or is It one of
the immigrants that reached us in some underhand
way in the years B. Q. (Before the Quarantine) 7

Service Star Legion Adopts Symbol

At the last national convention of the Service Star
Legion, an organization of women relatives of the men
and women of the World War, the following resolution
was adopted:

"Whereas, It is fitting and beautiful to observe
an old custom of using a flower as a symbol of an
organization, and

"Whekeas, The red Rose typifies mother sacri-
fice, and white Carnation mother love,

"Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the Service
Star Legion ofiiciaUy adopt the red Rose and the
white Carnation as their national flowers. (Of-
fered by Mrs. KenneDy, Baltimore.)"
The Service Star Legion is still doing generous work
in caring for the welfare of ex-soldiers who are still
patients in the various hospitals. F. J. L.

German Poppies for America's Memorial Day !

Technically we are still at war with Germany. In
our hearts there may be forgiveness — or at least for-
bearance— but in our memories there must long re-
main resentment and painful thoughts of what Prus-
sianism meant and accomplished. It is strange — al-
most unbelievable, in fact — ^that even in its present
position the German spirit does things that add fuel
to this fire.

To illustrate: We are informed, on unquestionable
authority, that for the celebration of the recent Me-
morial Day there were sold by certain retailers and
worn in the coat lapels of New York gentlemen, artifi-
cial Poppies made not by the orphan children of
France, but by hands that enabled them to be shipped
in boxes labeled "Made in Germany" ! Probably these
containers were seen only by the importers and whole-
salers, so that the vtltimate dealers and their custom-
ers handled the souvenirs in the mistaken belief that
they were helping the deserving poor of France.

Another Memorial Day's Message

One of the most significant comments that we have
seen on the Memorial Day just past comes from Balti-
more where, it is said, "Conditions were the same as
those on 5|Qther's Day — insufficient stock for a de-
mand greater than ever before." That speaks pretty
well for a day that is usually included in the "Red
Letter" list, but of which we generally think of the
business as restricted mainly to cemetery florists and
F. T. D. orders.

Of course there is plenty of reason why this should
not be the case; and there are plenty of opportunities
lying dormant and awaiting only the genius of some
live florist or florist organization to vitalize and capi-
talize them. Meanwhile, however, it is good to know
that the trade in all sections from which we have
received reports, and apparently the public, too, made
the most of the day and the stocks in hand with
mutual benefit and satisfaction.

In many places the Peony cut seems to have been
just at its height ; this not only provided an abundance
of blooms for May 30, but will also have the effect of
reducing the supply in succeeding days when a lighter
demand must be anticipated. Other cut flowers were
for the most part in good shape and in just the right
supply to result in brisk sales and satisfactory clean-
ups. Further testimony as to the general unpopu-
larity of the Sweet Pea as a Memorial Day flower
was supplied by some centers where there were large
crops, but the everyday sales usually take care of the
Peas so that a special event is rarely needed to keel)
them cleared up.

One report of a shortage of Geraniums on account
of the exceptional Mother's Day supply raises the
question whether, as these two events are developed
along floral lines, they will prove to be too close to-
gether for best results. This, however,, is one of those
bridges that we need hardly examine until we ap-
proach it.

Finally, as to artificials, these seemed to have
shared in the general heavy demand. But so long as
the natural flo\^er supplies Were entirely absorbed at
good figures, what ;^e^son to; cp.mplain? It almost
seems as though such a trade would automatically
check itself as soon as it becomes dangerously large.
In fact this very thing happened in Boston, where
good taste, artistic merit and sentiment were lost
sight of in a frenzy of attempted artificial business.
The result was satiation, dumping and, probably heavy
losses, which will serve as an effective brake here-
after. Which does not, however, lessen the responsi-
bility of the real florist trade in constantly striving for
its own betterment and progress.

At Mrs. Francis E. Cleveland's Garden

Mr. Wister and myself spent the day of May 14 at
Mrs. Francis E. Cleveland's Iris gardens at Eaton-
town, N. J., found her fields in good bloom, with all
the good old sorts and many of the newer kinds in
fine fiower. Mrs. Cleveland's best seedlings were not
in fiower, but her Cavalier and -Autocrat were very
good and distinct and well worth while. Saw the
finest plant of Caterina I have ever seen ; if Groschner
could have seen this clump, he would never want it
thrown out. It had at least a dozen large stalks. The
Perry's Blue Siberian is a wonderful color and good
grower, not as fine as Emperor, but should be in every
collection ; they are both scarce and high priced.

The Wister, Movilla and Lloyd Plantings

On May 18 we spent the morning in Mr. Wister's
garden at Germantown where there are all the new
and old sorts. The Iris here have felt the bad
Spring and are not as good as last year's. Mr. Wister
has a large collection of all the new sorts from the
European Iris growers which he brought over with
him after the war. Many are from gardens in this
country. Miss Grace Sturtevant's seedlings are all
here. Especially good are Afterglow, Anna Leslie,
Baronet, B. Y. Morrison, Dream, Grey Morn, L. E.
Sturtevant, Cheri, Shekinah, Queen Catrina, Sind-'
gkhat. Other good ones were Col. Candelot, Corrida,
Omkigna, Caprice, Crusader, Alcazar, Monsignor,
Merlin, Leonidas, Anna Farr, Tamerlane and Karphut.
Also a fine collection of the Oncocyclus hybrids, such
as Ismali, Dilkush, Dorak and Lady Lilford Zwanen-
burg has a curious greenish yellow flower and is the
only strong grower in this section.

Spent the afternoon at Movilla Gardens and Mrs.
H. G. Lloyd's, both at Haverford. Movilla has prob-
ably the finest collection of Iris of any nursery in the
country. At their gardens, grown to perfection, is
probably every good sort in the country. Especially
good were Moliere, Dimity, Seminole, Ballerine, Clem-
atis, La Neige, Lady Foster, Lord of June, Morwell,
Mrs. Cowley, Nu6e d'Orage, Oriflamme, Stamboul,
White Knight and Opera. All of these sorts are scarce
and high priced, and many are not for sale, but they
are way ahead of many of the old sorts. I was im-
pressed, however, with large blocks of the follovring
low-priced and old sorts: Mithras, Rhein Nixe, Nibe-
lungen, Loreley, Gagus. A big bed of any of the
above would make a great show. Mrs. Lloyd has one
of the show places of this part of the country and
her sunken Iris garden, 100x107ft., with five terraces
and grass paths was a sight to" thrill one — thousands
of blooms — every one a good sort.

The Irises at Wyomissing and in Private Gardens

On May 19 we were over to Mr. Farr's at Wyomis-
sing, near Reading, early in the morning. This place
has also felt the bad early Spring and the Irises are
not as good as usual. One block of 100,000 plants put
out last year will make a great showing next year.
All of Mr. Farr's well-known seedlings are flowering
quite well and many new seedlings in the trial gar-
dens are worthy of growing (when Farr puts them
out). His hillsides were a mass of bloom, in floe
color, of the older varieties.

Wister, Farr and myself started that afternoon
for Harrisburg. We spent four hours there in private
gardens, the last two being inspected by lanterns. All
the Irises in these gardens were grown by amateurs —
all good varieties and many new ones, also some good
seedlings.

The Show at Columbus

Arrived in Columbus on the 20th and spent the day
at the show. The show was very flne and great credit
is due to the ladies who worked so hard to get it
going. I may say that I saw there the finest Iris
flowers I have ever seen. Mrs. H. W. Taft of Cin-
cinnati brought down a flower of Bliss's Dominion,
second time this variety has been exhibited in this
country (once before at Cincinnati). It was magnifi-
cent and well worth the price of the root — $48. I
understand one or two can be purchased for this
amount.

On May 21 went out to Wing's Nurseries at Mech-
anicsburg, O., and saw many acres of very fine plants
and fiowers, both old and new sorts.

The following day returned to Montclair, Impressed
with the beauty of the Iris and feel it Is the plant
for every one to grow. A greater showing of color
can be made with it than with any other flower, and
every one can grow Iris.

Chamber of Commerce of the United States
of America

John K. M. L. Farquhar Now National Councillor

FORMAL notification has been received that the
Society of American Florists has been elected to
membership in the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. Aftiiiation with the National Chamber
gives the Society of American Florists a voice in the
activities and affairs of that constantly growing busi-
ness organization, which now numbers about four-
teen hundred commercial and trade organizations.

Closely following its election to the National Cham-
ber, President Thomas Roland of the Society of Ameri-
can Florists appointed John K. M. L. Farquhar of
Boston, Mass., National Councillor who will serve as
a connecting linli between the society and the Na-
tional Chamber at Washington. Hereafter when poli-
cies affecting business are under discussion by the
Federal authorities, the Society of American Florists
will have a chance to express itself, inasmuch as one
of the chief functions of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, is to voice the business senti-
ment of the country. From time to time referenda
are sent out by the National Chamber for the purpose
of ascertaining for the benefit of Congress and
the Government Departments, opinions prevailing
throughout the country on questions of importance.

The views and opinions of the nation's business
men, expressed through the National Chamber, are
listened to with respect. In fact, the views of the
Chamber on important legislative matters affecting
business are sought. Never before in the history of
the United States have business interests been so
efficiently represented at the National Capital, toward
which there seems to be an increasing business cen-
tralization all the time.

, The National Chamber will soon have a home of
Its own, just across Lafayette Square from the White
House. A $2,500,000 fund for this building has prac-
tically been all subscribed; it will be an elaborate
.workshop for American business. In the study and
solution of its national problems.
.' In order to be' of greater service to its members,
and the business men of the nation generally, the
business organization of the National Chamber was
recently departmentized, the various departments
being: Foreign Trade, Insurance, Transportation and
Communication, Domestic Distribution, Fabricated
Production, Natural Resources and Civic Develop-
ment. The aim of these departments is to help the
business man solve his problems and gain new mar-
kets for American trade. Members have the privilege
of utilizing them, which virtually amounts to the
Society of American Florists having a special Wash-
ington representative.

Membership in the National Chamber entitles the
Society of American Florists to receive a weelsly gen-
eral bulletin containing news of commercial interests,
a weelily legislative bulletin whUe Congress is in ses-
sion, which follows the progress and gives a digest of
legislation having relation to the conduct of business.
They also receive a special bulletin which is issued
whenever anything of commercial importance arises
which is not regularly covered, as well as The Nation's
Business, the official magazine of the organization.

titles of Roses are budded on the Manettl. This latter
malces a big plant but, usually, it is not considered as
a stock for long life.

On this point it would be interesting to know on
what stoclj the Koses, of which our Portland (Ore.)
correspondent spealis as running out in the gardens,
are worl<ed upon. It may be said here that some va-
rieties of Roses will steadily become weaker, par-
ticularly if allowed to remain undisturbed.

Discussing the question of dying back, H. Morse &
Son, a large wholesale concern in the east of England,
state that with them, Holland, German and Belgian
grown Roses have, without exception, died back. Their
view of the rugosa as a stock is, that its one failing
is in that it does not give so much color as R. canlna
but, owing to Its greater freedom from suckers and
the vigor and lasting power it gives to all varieties,
they use it largely. • • * Sorts like Chateau de
Clos Vougeot, Queen Mary, and other weak growers,
if worked on the canlna will not grow; on rugosa
they make plants three times the size. All In all,
they consider the rugosa a wonderful stock both for
dwarfs and standards.

In view of the fact that vast quantities of Roses
are and will be propagated in various parts of this
country for garden planting, it seems desirable that
every kind of stock should be thoroughly tried out.

Outdoor Roses

Climate and Stocks for Budding

IT IS generally acknowledged that lovers of garden
Roses will not be the losers through the prohibi-
tion against imported Roses. Certain of these,
it is true, were of unusually good quality and, given
rational treatment, success usually followed their
planting. Such plants were not, however, of the cheap
• order. Those coming in the latter category were gen-
erally from centers where labor was, low and the con-
ditions favorable for quick growth. Such plants were
incapable of withstanding the rigors of our climate
excepting the specially vigorous kinds.
■ It is interesting to note that this question of im-
ported Boses has been discussed In the Horticultural
Advertiser (Eng.) Large quantities of Rose plants
find their way into England from France and Holland.
Those from the latter country have given an unusual
amount of trouble owing to their tendency to die back
after arrival in the Fall. The soil and climate of
Holland are claimed to be the cause, although some
are disposed to think it is due to the rugosa stock
used in that country.

For the British climate B. canlna has long been
considered the most suitable, although enormous quan-

The late James F. M. Farquhar

which it can be raised from seed, prove the standard,
but it has not the best of stem for working upon.

A stock propagated from cuttings affords greater
ease as it is straight and, it the lower eyes are cut
out, there is no fear of suckering. The seedling
canlna is a terror for suckering and, for this reason,
some English propagators prefer to root cuttings. The
Manettl and the rugosa can be worked in the same
way ; as can the laxa, a form that has proved of great
service in cool climates.

Taken generally, the question of what is the best
stock for outdoor Boses is one that is well worth
studying, for those who can produce strong, long last-
ing bushes will assuredly gain the patronage of the
ever increasing army of Rose lovers.

The time may come when Rose planters here will,
like the British enthiislasts, demand maidens, .that is
plants of one season's growth. A cut, back tiv<j'sea-
son's plant is not everyone's choice.

Whether the antipathy to cut backs is faddishness
or simplicity, the fact remains that amateurs, skilled
or novices, do not like cut backs. The skilled ama-
teurs in England will not accept cut backs as a gen-
eral rule despite the fact that the tops will at prun-
ing time be cut back to three or four eyes.

Senator S. P. Spencer has advised President Lloyd
Stark of the A. A. N. that the Cramton "pure nursery
stock" bill has been referred to a, committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce which has not yet re-
ported on It and is not expected to— at least, not this
session.

James F. M. Farquhar

With genuine sympathy and deepest sorrow the
readers of The Florists' Exchange are herewith
given the announcement of the death of James F. M.
Farquhar, vice-president of R. & J. Farquhar & Co.
of Boston, who died at the Boston City Hospital, May
23, as the outcome of an apoplectic shock, received
eight years ago.

Mr. Farquhar was born In Fyvle, Scotland, In March,
1852, and came to this country 51 years ago, set-
tling shortly afterward In Providence. A few years
later he came to Boston to take charge of the work
in Forest Hills Cemetery and In 1882 established the
Farquhar Company with his brother, Robert, who left
the business soon afterward. Another brother, John,
then joined him and became president of the firm,
continuing the business after James Farquhar was
forced to retire, on account of illness.

Mr, Farquhar was one of the most notable horti-
culturists in Boston for many years. Within his al-
lotted span of life and through the force of his genial
and inspiring suggestions, he contributed in every
conceivable way to the advancement of horticulture.
His uncommonly wide and intimate knowledge of
plants and of what it is possible to achieve in the.
effective grouping of the same gained for him a na-
tionwide reputation as a master of the difficult art of
producing pleasing results with almost any plant ma-
terial. He was eminently the man to conceive and
formulate ideas and plans on a large and novel scale
and to carry to a successful end any iimovation along
horticultural lines upon which his fruitful mind had
concentrated, not only for the benefit of his con-
temporaries and successors, but also for the benefit
of American horticulture as a whole.

It was James Farquhar who planned and executed
the Japanese garden in 1909 and the Italian garden
in 1912. Both these exhibits are still considered the
best and most notable in the history of Horticul-
tural Hall. The Italian garden exhibition was kept
open to the public for two whole weeks. These two
events were notable achievements, advancing the pres-
tige of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and
of Boston. In recognition of the wonderful work and
ability displayed in the artistic designing and execu-
tion of the above mentioned shows, Mr. Farquhar waa
awarded a special diploma by the Massachusetts Hor-
ticultural Society, the highest award it is able to
bestow:

Mr. Farquhar was also deeply interested in the cul-
ture and advancement of plants in general, and es-
pecially of Lilies, Rhododendrons, Azaleas and
Dahlias. Ever since the failure of his health and his
necessitated retirement from active work, his pres-
ence has been sadly missed in the horticultural world.

Mr. Farquhar's amiable personality and sterling
character made for him friends in every walk of life.
He was full of sympathy and a vriUing helper in
times of trouble, to those under him. Himself a
great, indefatigable worker. Intimately acquainted with,
every detail of work required, he had a rare under-
standing of the perplexities confronting others, and
his advice and help were often sought. A whole-
souled man and to be depended on in friendship.

Mr. Farquhar was married to Miss Jenny Hunt
of Providence. He was a member of the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society, the Society of American
Florists, the New England Seed Trade Associatiott
and other societies connected with the horticultural
industry. He made his home at the Hotel Oxford,
from which place he was taken to the hospital.

Surviving Mr. Farquhar are his widow and three
brothers, John of Boston, Bobert of Cambridge and
Pj!. William Farquhar of Aberdeen, Scotland, and
two sisters, Mrs. George Mnrisbn of New; York, and
Mrs. James Henderson of Scotland.

The funeral services were held at the chapel at the
Forest HlUs Cemetery, between 2 and 3 o'clock on the
afternoon of May 27, Rev. Frederick Blackely, pastor
of the Boslindale Baptist Church, offlclatlhg. The
pallbearers were Alexander Dewar, Victor E. Nelson,
George Crulckshank, Patrick Fordham, Arthur Jen-
ner and William J. Davy. Burial was at Forest Hills
cemetery. During the services the company's store
and the nurseries at Dedham were closed.

A large gathering of prominent horticulturists from
Boston and far away points attended the funeral
and the floral tributes in honor of the departed werfr
most numerous and beautiful, G- Th.

Side^Lights on the French Bulb Situation

(Continues, from page 1307)
ness and determination to protect this country from
unnecessarily higli prices, even at the cost of refusing
temporarily to handle the overpriced stock. It would
be a poor way to acknowledge this stand simply to
- disregard these importers and accept a few' French
bulbs from Dutch firms, at the Frenchmen's own fig-
ures or higher, when evgry such sale make it just that
much harder for the American importer to establish
a fair, price level arid an equitable business policy.

Similarly, it is regi-ettable that there should be
ultimate consumers who will remain so blind to na-
tional trade interests and to the unfair effects of
their actions on the general buying public, as to de-
mand certain bulbs — French or what not — and pay"
whatever is asked for them, however much the price
is unjustified by circumstances and no matter how
severely the. transaction hits: the legitimate American
trade as a whole. Probably such folk we will have
always with us — ^just as we will have those who help
boost Carnations to $1 apiece on Mother's Day, and
those who pay $10 apiece for theatre tickets, and
thereby prohibit thousands of saner, more conserva-
tive people from enjoying performances at sensible
figures. But surely the numbers of , such people can
be reduced — by educational means and frank, explana-
tory statements to be given out by the trade whenever
there is a situation that affects supplies or prices, and
that simply needs to be analyzed and shown up in its
true colors.

The great big factor in the pre:ient bulb situation,'
as in any complicated muddle, is the clarifying effect
of careful investigation, and the general dissemina-
tion of the facts. Under the whitS light of truth and
knowledge, difficulties are soon adjusted, unfair and
unreasonable positions are eventually given up, and
better times come to pass for one and all. One of the
best things about such a program is that everyone
can take part in it and help bring about the desired
ends. So let it be in the present Instance, in which
every one of us shall play our parts in bringing about'
harmony and continued business and prosperity in
which all may share. B. L. D. S.

"To know both sides of the question" is one of the
aims of a big mercantile house arid one to which we
heartily subscribe. This is especially so in the case
of the existing intricate French bulb situation. Since
setting down the above impressions, gleaned from
one reliable source of information, we have had an
interesting conversation with another dispenser of
facts — in this case a wideawake representative of a
strong Dutch firmi a native Hollander, who knows
conditions there, in France, and in this country, too,
and who is not afraid to acknowledge failings in judg-
ment and in business management wherever he may
find them, whether in his own countrymen or in others.

In his opinion few Holland bulb men are acute or
farsighted enough to use French bulbs as premiums-
as suggested in the foregoing, although he does not
deny that such might happen.. On the other hand he
maintains that, owing to their natural adaptability
for business, the Holland bulb exporters have, in the
most natural way, assumed the responsibility of han-
dling the great bulk of the French bulb output. This,
he says, has come about, first because, as already
noted, the French growers do not attempt to travel
among or market direct to the American consumers;
and second, because trading conditions with the grow-
ers in their home sections are such that few American
importers would care to attempt them or, for that
matter would win much success if they did. Appar-
ently the French bulb growers of the OUioules district
are typical peasants of comparatively low standards
of living and of business integrity; who are indepen-
dent in the extreme partly because of the simple
nature of their needs and partly because of the fact
that Paperwhite bulbs are a crop which, if not sold,
can be left in the ground until another year with
impunity.

Growing these bulbs as independent individuals,
rather than on contract, and selling them not by num-
ber but by the crop — which may prove remarkably
elastic depending upon the ultimate price set for the
goods — their one aim apparently is to outwit the
Dutch exporter who, it must be remembered, in most
cases is mainly anxious to make a comfortable profit
with little or no concern as to the future results of
any particular deal.

Our latest informant states, furthermore, that
whereas the Dutch growers may have, at the opening
of the season purchased Paperwhites at the exorbi-
tant prices announced by the French growers, he does
not believe that they continued to do so, for just be-
fore his departure from Holland early in May he
understood that a meeting of Dutch interests had
unanimously decided not to buy further French stock
at the prices that were then being asked. In other
"Words, sensing the unwillingness of American buyers

to handle stock at anything like those prices, they had
realized the futility of trying to do a profitable busi-
ness on that basis. Obviously it would be of no ad-
vantage to them to take any action that would tend
to maintain or even increase the asking price for the
bulbs.

We admit that there appear to be contradictions
and discrepancies in the two situations as we have
gathered and attempted to outline them above; prob-
ably, the fact of the matter is that there are as many
viewpoints as there are interests involved, and that it
is almost hopeless for a disinterested outsider to
analyze the situation down to its finest details with-
out overlooking some factor somewhere.

Altogether our conclusion is, even more strongly
than before, that what is needed to clarify the French
bulb situation and, for that matter, aU international
trade in horticultural products is more general infor-
mation available for all individuals about existing
conditions, and also a closer connection (preferably
through the medium of official organizations) between
all the countries, whereby mutually advantageous and
fair arrangements may be made that will permit of
the perpetuation of profitable international trade.

Another Epidemic of Quarantines

(Continued, from page 1309)
or cutting. This ruling, we are informed, is based
upon the threatening abundance and dangerous possi-
bilities of the Japanese Camphor scale — about which
our readers know as much as we do.

Now, it might seem at first thought; as though the
territory referred to was relatively unimportant from
a commercial horticultural standpoint, and that such
an embargo would, at most, inconvenience only a few
shippers of truck crops or such things. But listen, all
ye who don't know it. New Orleans and its environ-
ment comprise the source of by far the greater part
of all the Ficus elastica cuttings that are used
throughout the United States— and this quarantine
has come down like a wet, heavy and suffocating
blanket to block the shipments of these cuttings just
at the time when they usually begin to move North,
East and West! Here, then, is a product, formerly
imported but now raised at home, but which, as far as
its being available to the rest of the country is con-
cerned, might as well be peculiar to the mountains of
Iceland.

There is another touch of ironic fate in this story.
When Quarantine 37 smote the horticultural interests
of Belgium and other European countries between the
eyes, some intrepid Belgian growers promptly took the
bull by the horns and their grips by the handles, and
emigrated to this land of freedom where, they thought,
they would raise what plants they could under the
splendid protection afforded its home industries. So
they looked about and found to their delight that they
could grow to perfection their Ficus elastica, which
they had been propagating for years back home in
Belgium, right down near the quaint old city of New
Orleans whence, by rail and steamer they could easily
reach the country's finest markets.

Thereupon aU seemed bright and their plantations
flourished. Whether they have had been able to ma-
ture and market any crops heretofore we don't know,
but now, this year, just as' they vrere getting ready
to reap the profitable reward of hard work and skill
in America — down comes a quarantine, and they and
their cuttings are marooned as badly as ever. Can
you blame them if they cuss?

According to our source of information, regarding
the above matters, the New Orleans quarantine re-
ferred to is the outcome of a disagreement between
State and Federal horticultural watchdogs on the one
hand and the local (city and parish) officials on the
other. Our informant is as disinclined as we are to
offer any opinion as to what may be the outcome.
Possibly under the circumstances, the most effective
thing for plantsmen who are interested in Ficus to
do will be to pray that the Japanese Camphor scale
may be found harmless, or that EuSber plants may be
definitely proved not to be a host for that pest.

Was Growing Stock Ten Years BeforeQu. 37

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

Tour comprehensive letter of April 2d at hand and
I wish to thank you for your kind statements in re-
gard to matter under consideration.

Our nursery has been established a great many
years. About twelve years ago we started to grow
lining out stock because we were not getting good serv-
ise from abroad. In other words we figured that we
could grow better plants right on our own grounds
than we were getting from Holland, France, Ger-
many, England, or any other country, and this we
have proven up to date. We have also made our
friends recognize the fact that we can grow these
plants in quantity, although we do not cover all of

the varieties as yet as it takes money and patience
and a few other things to produce a good propagating
nursery in ,a lifetime. . .

The evolution of the American plant Industry will
not be a rapid one, but it will be a sound, safe one, I
beUeve. I can see that many of those who imported
stock for distribution throughout the United States,
and who had their source of supply cut off, would
feel very much against Quarantine 37. On the other
hand, there are many American growers who have
told me that the Quarantine is the best thing that ever
happened, because they had been up against a deluge
of competition due to the fact that the low tariffed
importations of various plant products from other
countries, produced at a low cost of labor, were in
sharp competition with American grown goods aild
minimized the sales of these, due to the fact that for^"
eign goods marked "Made in Germany, France, Eng-'
land or Holland," seemed to catch the buyer's eye in
preference to "Made in America."

You speak of higher tariff. I acknowledge the fact
that whenever a higher tariff was spoken of there were
importers who did not want to see the tariff raised.
I had hoped for a higher tariff for the last ten to
fifteen years, and for better and more rigid inspection ;
however, this did not happen. The whole history
seems to be a parallel to the present wet and dry sit-
uation, the extreme wets and saloonkeepers seem to
want to control National politics; so did the foreign
trade wapt to control the United States in the way
of nursery stock, plants, etc.

There should be reason and good judgment exercised
in all things. Inasmuch as the quarantine, as now
in effect came into being through the efforts of the
agricultural interests of the United States and as in
previous years many of the foreign shipments were
badly Infested, even under the socalled rigid exam-
inations, naturally the agricultural or farming inter-
ests of this country being a large factor, could ask
for protection and receive it.

It is quite natural that certain new conditions were
produced by the Quarantine which naturally aided
some and were more or less detrimental to others, as
importers, or those depending on foreign grown ma-
terial. I have always found in business that con-
ditions, environments and arrangements are bound to
change from time to time, sometiniee to a benefit and
sometimes to a detriment. It is quite natural for
some to be against the embargo, and others for the
measure. For some growers the war period was very
beneficial, but for others I dare say that a condition
was produced which was more detrimental to their
business than the embargo ever wiU be.

F. W. VoN Oven.

NapervUle, 111., May 1921.

[We like Mr. Von Oven's letter. Without waiting
for a quarantine that automatically put an end to
all imports (save through the permits) he went ahead,
starting twelve years ago, and is apparently well sat-
isfied with the progress made. Evidently, without
tariff protection or quarantine protection, he has
made good. We Uke the tone of Mr. Von Oven's let-
ter, too. It is quite refreshing to read such a dispas-
sionate statement after having had to wade through
some of the other kind which were entirely one-sided
(Quarantine sided) so to say. If nurserymen and
florists would discuss the question in an unbiased
spirit, forgetting their own immediate business inter-
ests for the moment, and with an eye single to the
good of the public (which is the good of the trade)
would it not more quickly make for the betterment of _
conditions for all? — Bd.]

Let Forest Protection Work Go On

Forest Protection Week, as our readers undoubtedly
remember, was from May 22 to 28, inclusive. Without
doubt a considerable amount of valuable sentiment in
behalf of forest conservation and replanting was cre-
ated during those seven days. The important thing
to keep in mind, however, is that although the official
week is over, all such sentiment should not be al-
lowed to die out. On the contrary, the determination
to keep the forest resources of the United States at
their best — and to make this a constantly improving
best — should be maintained as a daily, weekly, month-
ly and yearly ambition for centuries to come.

No doubt many a nursery flrm has followed the lead
of the F. W. Kelsey Co. of New Xork in making Forest
Protection Week a basis for a special appeal to plant-
ers to buy and use forest tree nursery stock. We hope
that such appeals have met with generous response
and that thousands of seedlings have been set out in
the last fortnight; but we hope even more strongly
that the habit of planting is being so strongly in-
stalled day by day that its expression will be con-
tinued throughout each succeeding season so that its
results may be seen in constantly increasing extent
with benefit to all the nation and all its people.

Mass. Hort. Society and American
Iris Society Hold Joint Exhibition

' The Miiy exliiljilinii of ilio Miissueluisi'lts Ilorticul-
turnl Sufifty. toKotlici- with Iho Iris exhiliiticm li.v the
Amei-iean Iris Society, tool; )ihiee In Ilortieiiltural
Hall oil May iiS and 20. On aeeouiit of the unusually
advanced vegetation, the i-lnsses in Lilacs, Narcissi,
Tulips, etc., showed no exhihils and the volnnie of
entries was therefore very much restricted. Neverthe-
less, the exhihitiou preseuted some very creditahle
ipntries in all classes present and the cxhihits, staged
by the American Iris Society, did much to accentuate
the color scheme.

Albert C. Burrage, Orchidvale, Beverly Farms, again
iPut up a grand selection of choice orchids. This time
is consisted almost entirely of Odontoglossums and
Odontiodas of outstanding merit. A few specimens
|ot Cattleyas and other genera were included in the
well displayed large group.

Miniature Rock Gardens

In the large hall, next to the exhibits of hardy flow-
ering shrubs and mid flowers (which were the con-
tributions from private and amateur parties), the
miniature rocU gardens, of which there were four
entries, attracted the greatest attention. They were
well worth all the praise bestowed upon them. Each
one of these little bits of handiwork, 3x2%ft., was a
revelation of what clear perception and clever execu-
tion can accomplish when a true lover of Nature sets
out to reproduce, as naturally as possible a rock gar-
den scene just as, in his mind's eye, he pictures it.
The little representations were widely different in
conception and in the use of the material employed,
but the outcome of each attempt was a happy realiza-
tion of how a charming rock garden might look if
constructed in either fashion. An almost endless va-
riety of wild flowers, grasses, mosses, shrubs and even
■small trees were employed in the construction, and
iielped out wonderfully where a little pool of water
rwas in evidence. AH the plants were correctly labeled.
I Wm. N. Craig, superintendent ■ of Faulkner Farm,
exhibited a notable, collection of Aquilegias, species
and hybrids ; be took first prize in every class, also
with his entry in Lupines.

I George F. Stewart presented six specimens of his
Calceolaria Stewartii in four varieties. All the plants
were of Immense size and wonderful finish.

Julius Heurlin, Blue Hill Nursery, received a first-
elass certificate of merit for TroUius europsus, var.
Elinor, clear golden yellow.

The collection of about 100 vases of hybrid and
seedling Rhododendrons from T. D. Hatfield, superin-
tendent of the Walter Hunnewell Estate, comprised
many of his most notable creations and was much
admired. He also exhibited two large vases of the
"Flanders Field" Poppy, Papaver Rhoeas.

The Iris Exhibits

The American Iris Society, which was started Jan.
29, 1920, to promote the culture and improvement of
the Iris by exhibitions, lectures, etc., held its second
annua! exhibition in Horticultural Hall this year.
The society has held exhibitions in Philadelphia,
Washington, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Nashville and
Flushing, N. Y., during its short career and can be
proud of its achievements so far. It has trial grounds
at the New York Botanical Garden, the Brooklyn Bo-
tanical Garden, also at Ithaca, N. T. and Madison,
Tenn. It publishes a monthly page in the Flower
CrTOwer on matters of current interest and a bulletin
on the culture of Irises. Its latest bulletin on "Gar-
den Irises, Past and Present" is in truth a 1921
achievement and a fit promise for the coming year.

The exhibition this year did not have as many en-
tries as might have been expected, but the number of
vai'leties shown and the quality of the blooms ex-
hibited largely made up for the deficiency. The
vase of Lord June, shown by H. F. Chase, was pro-
nounced by competent judges the best ever seen. The
color and size of the blooms and the length of stems
certainly gave many an admirer the first impression
of what a well-grown Iris really does look like. This
vase captured a silver medal. An unnamed seedling
from the same exhibitor came in for a good deal of
favorable comment. It was not unusual in size but
of perfect formation, and its lovely, even, soft rosy
purple shade appealed to every beholder.

For twelve vases, not less than 12 varieties. Miss
Grace Sturtevant won first prize. Hers was a noble
collection, blue shades predominating, with M. de
Gaudicbau, Shekina and Princess Lohengrin showing
extra fine flowers. The collection consisted of Splen-
dour, Souvenir M. de Gandichau, White Knight, Em-
pire, Sarpedon, Hope, Iris King, Shekina, Queen Cate-
rina, Magnate, Princess Lohengrin and Crinoline.

Second prize was awarded to 0. N. Srailh with Hono-
rabilis, Darius, Caprice, Perfection, Princess Victoria
Louisa, Rliein Nixe, Milliiis, .\rnola, Loreley, Sherwin
Wright and Nibohingeii. This lot did not reach the
other, either in s'y/.r of bloom or stem. The same
exhihitor also showed ."lO vases, tilling one large table,
of the most popular anil many Siberian varieties. The
colleelion contained many outstanding kinds and, on
the whole, made a very creditable .showing.

A Fine Selection of Orchids

111 the liig leeture hall Albert C. Burrage displayed
an assortment of his finest gems from his large and
unapproachable collection of Odontoglossums and
priceless Odontiodas. The vigor of the plants was
remarkable and the size and perfection of the sprays
and blooms wonderful. The advantageous conditions
under which these plants are given a chance to grow
in the newly designed house have much to do with
the behavior and appearance of the plants. .Such vig-
orous, robust and healthy growth and such luxuriant
foliage and bulbs are very seldom observed. The group
was staged to perfection under the supervision of
lioiiglas Eccleston, superintendent. Among the 150
varieties shown, the following deserve mention : Odon-
tiodas : Cortez, Lutetia, Charlesworthii, Rosefieldense,
Bradshawia?, lona. Hiawatha, Vuylsteke, Lambeaula-
num, Pizzarro, Wilsonli, Papilio, Cooksonite, etc.
Nearly all of these are red or related forms. Odon-
toglossums : Hyeaua, Dora, Excellens, Ardentisslmum,
Queen Alexandra, Balboa, Arnesianum, Inca, Royal
Purple, Bolivar, Aztec and Concium. TMs collection
was awarded a gold medal. The Appleton gold medal
was awarded to George L' Anson, the well-known and
successful orchid grower for Mr. Burrage.

Other exhibits from Mr. Burrage were two plants of
LfBllo-Cattleya Stevenson, which were raised from the
same seed pod. Both have exceedingly large, well
formed and handsome flowers; one with dark rosy-
purple sepals and petals and dark purple lip with
yellow throat markings; the other with light mauve
sepals and petals and very dark purple lip. A first-
class certificate of merit was given for these plants,
also for Odontoglossum Aztec and O. WUsonii

Mr. Burrage further exhibited a number of Habe-
naria orbiculata, a native, wild species with white
and greenish flowers on a stout stem. Also Cattleya
Mossise Wagneri, pure white, yellow throat ; Oneidium
leuchoehilum, with eight magnificent sprays, 8ft. long ;
and Epidendrum nemorale with its fine spikes of light
purplish flowers. A fine piece of Rhenanthera Storeil
from the Philippines, carrying large bracts of vivid
red flowers at the head of a 10ft. cane, called for some
attention. Another remarkable plant, Brassia verru-
cosa, was shown by Douglas Eccleston. It carried ten
wonderful sprays of greenish yeUow and oddly
spurred flowers of large size.

Lectures on Wild Flowers

The lectures on the cultivation of wild flowers
which were given each afternoon by Kenneth W. Gil-
lett of Southwick, Mass., gave much pleasure and valu-
able information to large audiences. The interest in
wild flower gardening is growing every day, a fact
which is not to be wondered at, considering the pleas-
ure to be derived, with little outlay, from a wild
flower garden by anyone who is in the least fascinated
by the manifold beauties offered by our wild flowers.
Native Azaleas, ferns and orchids, besides hundreds
of other subjects, will soon repay the least attention
given them, and Mr. Gillett's remarks were full of
useful information.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society

Appropriations Made for Forthcoming
Exhibitions

The trustees of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society, recognizing the success and value of recent
exhibitions and the advisability of continuing, from
time to time, such special shows and of making them
leading features at the regular exhibitions, have
voted an ajjiiropriation of $(iOOO for a bulb exhibition
ill Jlarch 1922. Special features of this exhibit will
lie the eomiietition for first honors in the Spring Bulb
Gardeu exhibits. The schedule contemplates gardens
of 300 sq. ft. tor private and 500 sq. ft. for commercial
gardeners.

The prize and exhibition committee at a meeting on
May 26 unanimously voted to recommend to the trus-
tees an appropriation of .f.SOOO for an exhibition of
ferns to be held in Horticultural Hall this FaU. In
addition to the amount of money mentioned, the com-
mittee also recommended the offer of eight of the
Society's large gold medals, 20 small gold medals and
26 silver medals. The classes for this exhibition are
to include orchids, bromeliads and cacti.

At the meeting of the trustees on May 26 the items
mentioned above were voted upon and the date of the
exhibition set for Sept. 25, 1921.

Altogether 52 classes are provided for and the pre-
liminary schedule is to be issued shortly.

Shirley Poppies from South Carolina

Proof sufficient of the suitability and possibilities
of the Shirley Poppy for Memorial Day came to our
office in the form of a box of buds from Sumter, S. C.
Despatched by mail (special delivery) in the after-
noon of May 24, the box — an ordinary pasteboard
one — arrived by first post on May 27. The sender,
Mrs. Julia Lester Dillon, city landscape architect,
writes, "For six weeks these Poppies have been a
marvellous show of color in, the park here, and it
occurs to me that I might try a shipment as far as
New York, as buds sent to Augusta, an overnight trip,
have arrived in perfect condition.

"The weather here has been very warm and we have
had hard rains, but I hope you may be able to get
some blossoms." We may at once say that within
a few hours, many of the buds had expanded, and
looked little the worse for their close confinement
and lengthy trip.

The buds were sent more in the nature of an ex-
periment, no special preparation or packing being
accorded them.

Had the buds been cut with long stems, the base of
the latter dipped in boiling water and then wrapped
in bunches of 25 in waxed paper, we feel certain they
would have arrived in first-class shape and free from
bruises caused by the friction of the hairy stems
against the buds which, during the journey, had half
expanded their calyxes. Flowers when packed, should
always be laid lengthwise, and whether bunched or
loose, alternated in the layers so that the blooms are
at the ends. Tissue or waxed paper should separate
each layer unless the bunches are wrapped.

The little extra trouble it entails is well repaid as
it prevents undue friction. As with all things cut
flowers when packed must be made so firm that no
shifting is possible.

Tlie Market

Tuesday, May 31. — The wholesale
cut flower market this morning is carry-
ing a heavy load of left over flowers and
in addition to that there are the medium
large arrivals of this morning. The de-
mand is sluggish and prices are down.

American Beauty Roses, special grade
blooms, are selling at 20c. to 50c. and other
grades are selling at corresponding prices.
Top grade blooms of other Roses are sell-
ing at 3c. to 15c. each in general, but
Crusader is bringing 25c. and Key 35c. to
50c. No. 2 grade blooms are going for $1
to $3 per 100.

Carnations are in large supply and are
moving out sluggishly at $1 to $3 per 100,
covering all grades.

The moderate supply of Cattleyas is
bringing 35c. to 75c. and occasionally $1
each. Lily of the Valley, $1 to $5 per 100.
Lilies in rather short supply, 115 to $20
per 100. Sweet Peas, 50c. to $1 per 100.

All miscellaneous stock, which includes
Antirrhinum, Callas, Calendula, yellow
Daisies, Iris, Mignonette, Peonies, Stocks
and all kinds of greens, is moving slug-
gishly at quoted prices.

Memorial Day Business

The demand for cut flowers in the
wholesale market consequent on Memorial
Day was quite active on Friday afternoon
and Saturday morning. On Saturday
afternoon the demand became sluggish and
came chiefly from surburban and cemetery
florists; in fact, these florists and those
farther away from the city who had sent
in shipping orders, were the chief buyers
of flowers for Memorial Day in the whole-
sale flower market of this city. There
was only a limited demand from the re-
tail florists in the heart of the city.

On Sunday, the demand was extremely
small and, perhaps on account of the
threatening weather on Monday morning,
buying was very sluggish. The result of
all this was a large accumulation of flow-
ers, especially of Carnations which had
arrived on Saturday afternoon and Sun-
day and Monday mornings, in spite of
the fact that a sharp decline in prices, in
an effort to stimulate buying, began on
Saturday afternoon and that there was a
further drop in prices on Sunday and
Monday morning.

Prices on Friday and Saturday morn-
ing of last week were about as follows:
American Beauty Roses, special grade,
25c. to 50c., and occasionally 60c. each,
other grades at corresponding prices. Top
grade blooms of other Roses, 6c. to 25c.,
excepting Keys, which sold for 50c. and
60c. each. No. 2 grade Roses, $3 to $5 per
100. Carnations, $3 to $8 per 100;
Cattleyas, 35c. to $1 each; Lily of the Val-
ley, $2 to $6 per 100; Lilies, $20 to $25
per 100; Sweet Peas, 50c. to $2 per 100;
Peonies, 35c. to $1.60, and occasionally in
cases of extra choice blooms, $2 to $2.50
per doz.

On Saturday afternoon and on Sunday
and Monday morning, the prices on Carna-
tions and Peonies and Sweet Peas took
a drop of aboiiit 50 per cent, and Roses
of all kinds a drop of 25 per cent to 35
per cent. Even on Friday and Saturday
morning there was no great advance in the
case of miscellaneous flowers and whai
little there was, was lost after Saturday
noon and there was a still further decline
below the ordinary price of the week.

Memorial Day

On Sunday, May 29, there were in
many of the churches of this city the usual

sermons in memory of those who laid do^vn
their lives nearly three quarters of a cen-
tury ago for the maintenance of our Un-
ion, of those who died that Cuba might be
free and of those who recently made the
supreme sacrifice in helping to make the.
world safe for democracy. On Monday
also there were memorial exercises and ad-
dresses in the public squares and around
the monuments and statues of our dead
military heroes. On these nipnuments and
statues wreaths of foliage and flowers
I were hung.

While the retail florists in the heart of
the city were called upon to execute a
moderate number of orders for wreaths, to
be hung on monuments and statues, or
placed on the graves of the heroic dead,
hy far the largest part of the business in
cut floAvers either loose, or made up in
sprays or designs, and also in flowering
plants for cemetery use went to the su-
burban florists and to those in the im-
mediate vicinity of the cemeteries within
and around the city. What we caimot
I but think was a regrettable feature of the
monumental wreaths was the use in some
of these of paper Roses. For example,
! we are informed that the statue of General
■ William Sherman at Fifth ave. and 59th
I St. had hung upon it a wreath in which the
flowers used were piidi paper Roses ! This,
needless to say, will make little difference
to General Sherman; the memory of his
I heroic military deeds are safe; but the
1 use of these paper Roses made by man,
I rather than Roses which have the beauty
' of color and the sweet perfume given them
I by an omnipotent God,. jars somewhat the
j feelings of men and women with the flner
i sentiments about such matters. Finally,
j what is the reason, or where is the excuse
I for paper Roses, when the wholesale flower
markets of this city had Roses, and other ap-
propriate flowers in abundance with which
the monuments and statues and graves of
our honored dead could have been decor-
ated?

Meeting of Associated Retail
Florists, Inc.

The meeting of Associated Retail
Florists, Inc., held at the Pennsylvania
Hotel, on Wednesday, May 25, was, from
an allied florists trade viewpoint, a very
encouraging occasion.

The retailers present, all of whom are
paying the half of one per cent assessment
for advertising purposes, expressed their
willingness to assume the w^ork of spread-
ing the gospel of cooperation and adver-
tising among the retail florists of the
Metropolitan district.

Those retailers present who spoke made
it very clear that while advertising is a
paramount issue, other good work can be
accomplished, which will benefit all
branches of our trade.

I Great things are expected from the com-
mittee appointed to undertake the work of
the retail end; the members are: C. H.

' Brown, Edward Hession, George E. M.
Stumpp, Edward McCarthy and Geo.
Hanges. A meeting is to be held on Wed-
nesday, June 1, of the executives of the

I Allied Trade Association, at which this

I retail committee will be present.

I The collections from retailers for the
month of May are reaching a very en-
couraging total and it is hoped that adver-
tising may be resumed at a fitting time.

' Calling recently at Dards at Madison
ave. at 44th St., and noting the window
display of baskets and vases of flowers and

j also a large variety of flowers in the sales
room, we were more than ever impressed
by the fact that to a notable degree this

J store, instead of depending almost en-
tirely upon Roses and orchids and other
high class staple flowers (though it al-
ways has these in stock in abundance), al-

ways carried in addition a large variety
of seasonable flowers — those which though
pretty, are comparatively little seen. H.
G. Perry, manager of this store, and Mrs.
Perry, returned last week from an auto
trip, covering some 1400 miles during
which Mr. Perry says he had the good
luck not to have to leave his seat a single
time for repairs. During this trip Mr.
and Mrs. Perry visited their old summer-
ing place in Vermont and also Cape Cod,
Boston, and places of interest in New
Hampshire, returning via Albany, N. Y.
Mr. Perry sails on Saturday of this week
on the S. S. Olympic. He will land at
Southampton, England and thence go to
Paris and other parts of Europe.

A. T. Bunyard, Madison ave. and 48th
St. and Mrs. Bunyard and their three boys
will sail on the S. S. Aquitania on June
14 for Europe. They will land at South-
ampton, England, and then proceed to
Brighton. Mr. Bunyard says the princi-
pal object of this trip is to introduce Mrs.
Bunyard, who is an American woman, to
his family in England, this being Mrs.
Bunyard's first trip abroad. During their
ten weeks stay abroad Mr. Bunyard and
family will try to call on 40 of their
immediate relatives. Mr. Bunyard, by the
way, belongs to a family of 14, 7 boys and
7 girls, 11 of the original family now
being alive. Mr. Bunyard's last trip to
England was on the Lusitania in 1914,
just before the war. Mr. Bunyard, by
the way, will be pleased to execute any
commissions for his brother florists dur-
ing his trip.

Samuel Salzberg, a member of the firm
of the B. Jacobs Cut Flower Co., Inc.,
tel-ls us that he has established a very
large shipping trade in cut flowers for his
firm. Indeed, during the last week, ship-
ping orders were so heavy that it kept
all employees of the firm unusually busy
and requtired some night work.

While calling at the retail stores in this
city last week, to see what we could find
in the way of distinctively Memorial Day
designs, we noted at M. A. Bowe's, 332
Fifth ave., an elegant Memorial Day
wreath made of gilded Magnolia foliage,
gilded Cycas leaves and gilded Asparagus
tied with a large bow of wide, red, white
and blue ribbon. [See illus. on feature
page.] We also noted at the same store
a shield, the lower field of which was in
white and red vertical stripes, and the
upper field of solid blue. In the upper
field were 13 stars made of white Immor-
telles, representing the 13 original States.
This shield had an edge of gold colored
material.

We noted this week at Badgley &
Bishop, in the 18th st. flower market, un-
usually fine blooms of that beautiful va-
riety of Gladiolus Mrs. Pendleton, also of
the well known variety America, and
besides this some blooms of Cattleya
JMossiee and Gigas of excellent quality.

A. T. Bunyard, Madison ave., at 48th
St., tells us that he has discontinued his
Newport, R. I., branch, which he main-
tained for a period of 10 years. He has
no hesitation in saying that owing to the
great falling off of visitors to this resort
and to the fact that he sees no hope of
improvement in the immediate future, he
decided to take this step. Furthermore
he feels that a good rest during the Sum-

mer season will be beneficial. Mr. Bun-
yard says that he has been more than
ordinarily busy of late furnishing bou-
quets of flowers for school conunencements
and looking after exceptionally numerous
steamer orders, which indicate" a return to
ante bellum days in this line of business.
Prof. Dr. Dieudonne Van Hove, Charles
Pynaert and Louis Sander, the three Bel-
gian gentlemen who came to this country
two weeks ago on behalf of Belgian under
glass interests, sailed for home on June
1 on the S. S. Zeeland. They called on
Dr. Marlatt at Washington and had audi-
ence with him on two separate days, but
were unable to influence him one way or
the other. Dr. Marlatt still clings to the
theory that the soil brought over in plant
shipments may carry disease.

Soutliern Poppies at Dards

Last week The Florists' Exchange
received from a correspondent located in
South Carolina a small box of Shirley
Poppies, loosely packed and sent parcel
post. Owing to the manner in which they
were handled at shipping point but a few
of them opened, but these few made such
a flne appearance that Dards immediately
wired for 500 red Poppies, giving full in-
structions for cutting, preparing, packing,
etc., with the result thai they arrived at
the flower shop, 341 Madison ave., at 9,
o'clock on the Monday morning. Memorial
Day, in splendid condition. This matter;
is mentioned because we sincerely believe!
that if the natural Poppy was well in-'
troduced by the flower shops of the
country at large for Memorial Day, it
would quickly take the place of the arti-
ficial one which was being worn for that
occasion, May 30, the comparison between
the natural and the artificial being sO';
strikingly evident in favor of the former.
It seems to be simply up to the retail
florist to take the necessary steps to bring
this about. The matter of success in in-
troducing the natural Poppy rests entirely
in his hands.

A Correction

My dear Mr. Joseph Trepel:

Through a mistake on my part, I im-
properly reported you as a delinquent to
the Association. I regret that it hap-
pened, as I would not wish to hurt youii
credit knowingly. As our past relationa
have been of the most cordial and I can
assure you I would help instead of injure.
I will inform the Association at once.
Respectfully,

The Market

May 31. — Memorial Day trade just
closed was notable from many viewpoints.
It was productive of many conditions in
which hope was not realized, or prophecy
fulfilled. There never was a time when
the wholesalers were called on to do busi-
ness under as many adverse circumstances,
and perplexity that was not foretold.
With all of this there were certain favor-
alale exceptions that yielded a large por-
tion of satisfaction.

The unlooked for period of Midsummer
temperature, with the mercury in the
nineties for ten days before Memorial
Day, upset all calculations more com-
pletely than ever before. Lines of opera-
tion marked out for the occasion had to
be abandoned. The wholesalers had to
work along new alignments to conform to
theconditiona they had to confront. Stock
came in abundantly all through the week,
a large portion of it so open as to be unfit
for shipping and much of it going into the
discard. Predictions of two weeks before
of a tight market were shattered; there
never was as much stock on this occasion
on hand previous years as this past week.
There was a heavy shipping demand from
Wednesday until Saturday, 10 to 12 or
more wagon loads going to the various
stations every afternoon from the various
houses. During these days, on the side-
walks, from Randolph st. to Lake on
Wabash ave., there was probably more
business handled than in the same space
in any other section of the city.

While the stock for shipping was not of
prime condition and the prevailing heat
was unfavorable to shipping, there may
be some aftermath to some portion of the
shipping trade.

Roses, Peonies and Heat in
Abundance

The Rose crop, which was looked
for in limited supply, was surprisingly
large in volume. When the shipping or-
ders were taken care of there was a large
amount of soft stock on hand that was
sold for whatever it would bring.

Carnations came in in larger propor-
tions than expected. These were also soft
from the effects of the great heat, and
brought a price far short of the list quo-
tations for the week.

To the Peony crop more than anything
else is due the overwhelming supply of
stock, so large in itself as to affect every
other item on the market. It is the first
time on record when the local crops were
in for Memorial Day. These, with the
shipments from farther South, caused a
pile up on wholesalers' hands to a point
that alarmed them. The shipped in stock
suffered from the heat either before being
cut or in transit to a point at which much
of it was of so little value that it was
disposed of to street vendors and sent in
wagons to the cemeteries to be sold for
what it would bring. The wholesalers
gave their trade the benefit of these con-
ditions substituting, in many cases. Peo-
nies for Carnations at the low prices of
the latter. This was an agreeable surprise
for those who refrained from ordering
Peonies on account of the high advance
price, and took Carnations only because
they could not get Peonies at a more rea-
sonable price than the advance quotations.

There was a good supply of Gladioli,
southern grown stock, as well as from
greenhouses close by. This is the only
stock that held up in price and quality as
well. Standing the heat better than either
Roses or Peonies, the Gladioli were gen-
eral favorites.

In all other lines of stock there was an
abundance. Such items as Valley, orchids.
Sweet Peas and the smaller and more
dainty flowers are in no special demand
for Memorial Day and their supply was
inconsequential.

Retail Trade

At this writing it is not possible
to give a report of the retail trade
throughout the city. Some of the large
houses in the loop report only moderate
business. Many orders were filled but
they were generally smaller than in former
years and did not run into money as
quickly as they used to. With some it
was no more than any good Saturday.
Still, there were others who claim to be
highly satisfied with the day's trade. The
double holiday was the occasion for thou-
sands of people leaving the city over Me-

morial Day, who might otherwise have '
been buyers. There are those who say
if the holiday came in the middle of the
week it would be better for flower sell- '
ing. _ !

In view of tbe almost imlimited supply '
of natural flowers the great amount of i
artificial stock that was used was re-
markable. There were Poppies every- i
where. The retailers featured them in
their windows and apprised the passers- ,
by that they were the official flower of |
the American Legion. i

Magnolia wreaths were In widespread i
demand for grave decoration and these
were adorned, in many instances, with red
Poppies and blue Cornflowers. Madeup
pillows of Immortelles in the national col-
ors were features in many of the windows.
Hampers and baskets of plants were used
to a large extent, the plants being mainly
Rambler Roses in several varieties.

Steel helmets from the world war were
used freely as plant receptacles; several
of these planted with Geraniums, Daisies
and other blooming plants sold freely for
S3 each

Blue Cornflowers, Delphiniums, Statice
and Yellow Daisies were freely used in
all window displays where an attempt was
made to bring out the national colors.

The opening of the new Apollo Theatre
at Dearborn and Randolph sts. on Me-
morial Day was the occasion for the use
of many elaborate floral pieces. Theatrical
managers from all over the country, as
well as the many construction companies
and architects of the building, sent ex-
pensive pieces.

The Carl Netschert Co., a pioneer
dealer in florists' supplies, filed a peti-
tion in bankruptcy on May 23. During
recent years the business of the company
was mainly in artificial flowers as it had
given up the supply trade some years

The military funeral of Lieut. J. B.
Fast, of the Royal Air Force, who was
killed in a crash in Belgium, and whose
body was brought to Chicago, '^as an
imposing affair as held on Sunday, May
22, in Rosehill Cemetery. At the ceme-
tery, two airplanes circled over the grave
and. dropped flowers during the progress
of the ceremony.

There was a notable shortage ot *j^-
raniums in bloom for the Memorial Day
trade. Ernst Rober, of Wihnette, ac-
counts for this from the fact that a large
number of these plants already in bloom
was sold for Mother's Day trade. It is
the opinion of Mr. Rober that the Ge-
ranium as a Mother's Day offering has
-^reat possibilities. The scarcity of cut
flowers the past Mother's Day inad-
vertently brought flowering plants into
prominence; the Geranium was one of
them. Four inch plants in bloom were
selling eversrwhere at 50c. to 75c. each.
The greater use of these plants for an-
other season is recommended by Mr.
Rober, and florists are advised to prepare
for this accordingly. Three or more plants
in a pan or three-quarter pot, well grown
and in full bloom, for which a good price
of from $2 to $3 could be obtained, would
be a profitable investment. Besides, the
Geranium is an old fashioned plant and
as an offering to mothers would have an
appropriate and particular significance.

The executors of the Peter Remberg
estate have offered the wholesale house,
long established at 30 East Randolph st.,
for sale. It is not included in the division
of the greenhouse property which goes to
Mrs. Reinberg and brother and sisters of
the deceased. If the store is disposed of,
it will be turned over to the purchasers
by July 1. With the store fixtures will
go the lease and goodwill of the business,
one of the oldest in the city.

The objective point of all traveling
salesmen who stayed in the city for Me-
morial Day and are now moving again
appears to be the Oklahoma State Florists
Convention, at Oklahoma City, July 7 and
8, and the Texas State Florists Associa-
tion, at San Antonio, July 12 to 14.
Chicago wholesale houses will be well rep-
resented at these meetings, coming as they
do within four days of each other. The
Kansas State Florists Association meets
at Topeka, August 4 and 5. As these
dates come during the period of the
Pageant of Progress exposition in Chi-
cago, it is probable there may not be a
large attendance from here.

T. E. Waters notes the daily receipts of
orders for made up wreaths and Red
Poppies for Memorial Day trade. Having
a fine supply of these wreaths made for
the occasion, orders are filled daily as
they come in. Apart from Memorial

Day stock, the buying is otherwise closed,
the trade not buying a full supply for
future needs; that means double work in
the supply department.

With three State conventions, one in
the West and two in the Southwest this
Summer, and the trade's participation in
the Pageant of Progress exposition in
Chicago the first half of August, there
will be much activity in trade circles
out this way during the next few months.
As plans for the Municipal Pier exposi-
tion develop, it looks like a general trade
exhibit, something on the order of a
trade convention, to which it is proposed
to invite all the large houses in the trade
to exhibit. The fact that the S. A. F.
convention is to be held this year in the
extreme East would make the proposed
exhibition a convenient one for western
trade. There is, however, a feeling that
such an exhibit immediately before the
S. A. F. convention might, in some way,
be detrimental to the exhibition of the
National Society. These questions are
having the consideration of the coromittee
in charge.

Irving Stein, who left the city a short
time ago to go into busines in New York,
has established himself in Chicago, much
to the satisfaction of his friends. He is
at present handling exclusively Valley
Chiffon, at his office, 161 N. Wabash ave.

Ove Gnatt and Fred Henoch came up
from La Porte Friday to meet their
friends here. They report a most satis-
factory trade for Memorial Day in all
of their specialties. The demand for red
Poppies, Mr. Henoch says, was surprising
to hun. Every mail for two weeks oef ore
brought in orders for not less than 10 to
25 gross. This house is making arrange-
ments to be represented at the State con-
ventions in Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas
in July and August, and will have the cus-
tomary exhibit of their well known spe-
cialties for the trade.

Miss M. C. Gunterberg has the sympa-
thy of friends in the loss of her mother,
Pauline Gunterberg, aged 57, which oc-
curred at St. Anthony's Hospital on May
28. Fxmeral Wednesday, June 1, from
the late residence, 2335 Millard ave., to
St. Paul's Church, at 9.30 a.m., with in-
terment in St. Boniface Cemetery.

At the recent meeting of the Commer-
cial Flower Growers of Chicago, at the
Hotel Randolph, on May 15, it was de-
cided to hold their annual banquet and
election of officers on June 16.

"JAY EM" Says:

Memorial Day renews one's reverence
for the symbolism of flowers. Song and
sermon dwell in the petals of Roses, Pop-
pies and Carnations. One is fond of
fancying that each of those to whom the
day is consecrate embarked upon the great
adventure with the scorn of death like a
flower at the lips.

The austere sweetness of sacrifice could
be expressed in no finer way. Their song
is of hope, and their sermon of Nature's
eternal resurrection; of man's part in the
universal life of what we have felt "in
E-oses, in water, in wind, in the forest, and
the sea; in everything; in our own flesh — ■
and that they are divinely ourselves."

In the circle that is like a line there
will be other wars (humanity will remain
humanity even should there be a second
coming of William Jennings Bryan) and
many more Memorial Days. Kingdoms
will crumble. Nations will pass. Worlds
will die. Stars will be born. Time's wal-
let will batten. But the divine symbolism
of the petal will endure.

The flower is mightier than the sword. —

Tribune, May 30.

The Market

May 31. — ^Memorial Day business
has fully justified all the expectations of
the wholesaler, retailer and grower. If
one includes the transactions in artificial
goods then the total volume of business
done may be said to be far ahead of other
years.

The cutflower market was on the verge
of a breakdown last week, up to Thurs-
day afternoon. Then a stir began to be
felt in the price of Carnations and be-
fore night the asking price had jumped from
almost nothing to 6c. and over. Friday
morning brought it up to 8c. and 10c. for
colored goods and there it hung for Satur-
day and Monday morning. White Carna-
tions were an exception. They never had
a lookin at any time, selling at beat for
4:C., and from there down to 2c.

On the whole there was a sufficiency of
flowers of all sorts up to the last minute
on Monday morning, when the market was
open until ten o'clock. Roses appreciated
in price to some extent, Hadley going to
35c. and the rest of the sorts selling for
8c. to 12c. for short grades. The supply
of Roses was almost unlimited, but so was
the demand. Feverfews, also, were shipped
in in very large lots, together with Stocks.
With the exception of single Stocks every
flower was sold and if there had been
more they would have found buyers, too.
And so on down the line; there was no
trouble encountered in disposing of any
flower until we reach Sweet Peas. Of these
there were entirely too many in the first

place and too many of the poor grades
altogether. To make a bad matter worse
there was no call for Sweet Peas. Some-
how or other they do not fit in on Me-
morial Day and so nobody got rich on
them.

Artificial flowers made quite a etir
this year in Boston. For months back it
was kno^v^l that an unusual amoxmt of
these were being prepared and arranged
into wreaths, sprays, etc. When the time
came, artificial goods were offered as
never before. Bona-fide florists retail
stores had loaded up with them and all
over the city and in the neighboring
towns department stores, hardware stores;
yes, even butcher and barber shops, not to
mention the scores of street venders,
bloomed forth with the manifold crea-
tions. It is doubtful if this will happen
another year for, while the legitimate re-
tail flower stores, which made up hand-
some and appropriate designs of artificial
flowers, had no trouble in selling large
numbers, the speculators, who plunged
on what was practically utterly hideous
stuff, must have lost heavily. An enor-
mous amount of these disgusting and cheap
looking things were left on hand or had to
be sacrificed at ridiculous prices toward
the end. There are rumors that truck-
loads of wreaths and sprays were thrown
on the market in front of the large ceme-
teries, and offered for from a quarter of
a dollar up and did not sell at that. It
was to be expected that the thing would
be overdone and it looks as if it happened
that way for once.

The selling price of flowers in the retail
florists stores was well within reason
everyT\-here and no complaints about pro-
fiteering have come forth so far. The
trade in plants, for use in cemeteries and

for bedding, was up to normal and even
better. The beautiful weather of the
last few days enticed oeonle outdoors and
to planting.

Today, Tuesday, the market has, what
in pre-Volsted times was termed, "the
blues;" it doesn't feel the way it ought to,
and is drowsy. Although not much in the
way of supplies has come in the prices
have gone way back to little above nix.
It may be well to wait a week before
analyzing market conditions too closely.
Maybe with the advent of the graduating
exercises and the appearance of the June
bride, the month of Roses will brace things
up.

The First Flanders Poppies

O. Ralph has been the first to sup-
ply the market with red French Poppies.
(The "Poppies of Flanders Field.") Moe
Leibman, his salesman at the Exchange
Market, sold the flowers in less than no
time.

On the anniversary of the opening of
the Unity House on Park sq., last Sunday,
May 22, Houghton-Gorney, under the
Park St. Church, had the contract for the
most elaborate and unique decoration of
the very large hall.

The skillful hands of Mr. Gorney and
his able assistants transformed the hall
into an immense garden with many varied
features. A hedge, 100ft. long, built of
good sized Box plants and relieved by
arbor effects, where Huckleberry and flow-
ering Honeysuckle came into play, formed
part of the garden enclosure, other parts
being filled in with Arbor Vitee and other
evergreens. The reception was held in a
very pretty Summer house of white Birch
poles, covered with Rambler Roses and
Honeysuckles and containing appropriate
rustic furniture. Enormous Lilac bushes
in bloom, and large Bay and Box trees,
properly placed, formed a charming vista.
The entire balcony, 300ft. in length, dis-
played garlands and large clusters of
white and lavender Lilacs, Honeysuckles
and Spireea Vanhouttei.

John Greenman, for many years fore-
man at Wollrath & Sons, Waverley, sailed
from New York, May 14, on a visit to his
home in Letvia, Russia.

Harry Spero, who has two popular
flower, seed and plant stores on Dock eq.,
has opened another at 85 ScoUay sq.

The young men of Boston have taken
very kindly to the wearing of red Poppies
on Memorial Day. In fact hundreds of
them displayed the bright red token, in
remembrance of their fallen buddies, even
on Friday before the holiday, and many
an older man did the same.

The deepest sympathy is felt by the
trade for Louis Smith, the florist of
Tewksbury, whose only son lost his life
by drowning in Round Pond, adjoining his
father's place, on May 25.

The boy, Marshall, nine years old, en-
tered a leaky rowboat in company with
two other boys, aged 11 and 13, and a
little girl of nine, a sister to one of them.
The children got a short distance from
the shore when the water, leaking into
the boat, scared them and made them
scream for help. Before neighbors, from
the other side of the pond, could reach
them they had jumped from the leaky
craft and had disappeared when help ar-
rived. The bodies have been recovered.

The Waban Rose Conservatories, lately
sold at auction by the receiver, have now
been acquired by Erick Anderson of the
Mishawun Flower Co., Woburn, who took
possession on May 23. It is the unani-
mous impression in the trade and among
the growers that the property has passed
into good hands. Mr. Anderson is an
uncommonly able grower and highly re-
spected man who undoubtedly will, in a
short time, bring the place back to its
former high state of excellence and pro-
ductivity. I. Mirsky has been engaged as
salesman.

Mayor Peters recently awarded a con-
tract for foundations, eeneral construction,
etc., for a range of greenhouses in Frank-
lin Park, amounting to $30,583, to the Pig-
nat-Vicenzi Mosaic Co., the lowest of seven
bidders.

May 30 a Big Day

The demand for plants and flowers
on Memorial Day was greater than was
ever experienced before. Cut flowers and
wreaths were used in great profusion; it
seemed as if everybody had got enthused
over the day. Lilac and outdoor grown
A^'alley were most over with; Peonies in
only limited numbers. Iris were used in
immense quantity, being just at their best,
as were many of the flowering shrubs,
among them the Spiraeas and Viburnums.
Among the greenhouse flowers, Carnations
and Roses bore an important part.

The Market

May 31. — The market for the first
three days of the week commencing May
23 was extremely slow. The buying for
Memorial Day started on Thursday and
was at its height on Friday and Saturday.
Sunday buying was confined to the morn-
ing hours as the wholesalers closed at mid-
day. This practice was also adhered to
on Memorial Day.

It is the consensus of the wholesale dis-
trict that it was one of the best Memorial
Days on record as viewed from a business
standpoint. The Peony crop was right for
the week with the peak of the supply com-
ing in on the closing days. From Mon-
day to Wednesday Peonies did not aver-
age over $6 per 100. Thursday they ruled
firm at 8c. and 10c. with some novelties
and special selected stock at 12c. and a
few at 15c. These prices carried over Me-
morial Day, and practically cleaned up all
salable Peonies. The crop was not as
heavy as in former years on account, as
stated in last week's issue, of damages
caused by frost.

There was a good supply of Roses with
the strongest demand for stock selling at
8c. to 15c. Poses cleaned up well with
the exception of a few specials, but few
realized over 20c. There was a medium
supply of Carnations on which over 50
per cent of the receipts lacked quality;

these ran from Sc. to 12c. Easter Lilies
were in good supply and cleaned up well
at 15c. Southern Gladioli were slow in
competition with the Peony. Orchids are
firm with a declining supply with a top
figure of $1.50 on extra fine flowers. There
is a good supply of outdoor and indoor
Delphinium. Snapdragon is in free sup-
ply and selling well. There is a limited
supply of Sweet Peas. Cornflowers are
slow. The indications are that there will
be few Peonies placed in cold storage as
so far the supply has been absorbed and
the cut will be over with by the end of
this wee"k.

Iiast Clnb Meeting of Season
Jnne 7

The closing meeting of the Florists
Club will be held next Tuesday evening at
the City Club. Prof. E. I. Wilde of the
Pennsylvania State College will address
the club on "The College and its Relative
Importance to the Trade." There will be
no meetings of the club during July and
August. Flowering plants of all kinds
were at a premium for Memorial Day and
the scarcity was more apparent this year
than ever before. There will be a lot of
cheap Geraniiuns about the end of the
month.

Wm. J. Baker is receiving some exce,
lent Delphinium from the open and irom

The Market

Memorial Day business this year
was by far better than that of last year —
and the year 1920 showed the biggest Me-
morial Day business, perhaps, in years in
this section. It shows that publicity for
this day has done much to help put it
over and is making it one of the big
flower days of the year. The stores all
had a large variety of stock, and nearly
everything was cleaned out on Monday
morning. The retail shops did a heavy
shipping business, and there were also a
number of funerals on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.

Carnations sold at from $2 to $3 per
doz.; Roses $2 to $9 per doz.; Sweet Peas
75c. to $1 per bunch; Tulips SOc. to $1
per doz; Gladioli $4 per doz.; Peonies
§1: per doz.

There were also Mignonette, Calendulas,
Pansies, Forgetmenots, Lupines, Iris,
Snowballs and Cape Jasmines. A number
of the stores displayed plain and deco-

Xlie Xorth Shore Horticultural Society,
in connection vrith. the Ladies Garden
Club, will hold its Summer flower show
at the Gorton School, Lake Forest, on
June 4 and 5. There will be autos in
waiting to take visitors through some of
the beautiful gardens for which this sec-
tion is noted. Peonies and Iris are at
their best in most of the ZSTorth Shore
gardens, and the outing is looked forward
to with much pleasure by many in the
trade.

Haily Chicago

"J. M. says," as you must have noticed,
some pretty nice things about Chicago,
now and then. But other folks have the
same habit, and we have just looked
through a remarkable illustration of that
fact, in the form of a portfolio vohune
gotten out by Marshall, Field & Co. The
book is an imjjosing tome, 12in. tall and
18in. wide, bound in imitation leather
boards, with a rich brown, green and gold
cover, and carrying within its 50 pages a
most imposing array of illustrations, data
and prophecy.

Chicago and its activities are big
enough, goodness knows, to astonish the
visitor. The marvelously rapid gi'owth of
that metropolis to its present loftj' emi-
nence of importance, wealth, population
and size is cause for everlasting wonder-

ment. And yet even these matters pale
into insignificance when compared with
some of the well developed plans for Chi-
cago's further gro-v^-th and beautifieation.
Glimpses of all these nbases of its great-
ness— past, present and future — are set
forth in this unusual souvenir voliune,
which any American can survey with
pride, whether or not he is a resident of
Illinois, of Cook County or— best of all
in the estimation of some 2,700,000 per-
sons— of Chicago itself.

Los Angeles, Cal.

Tia.T3irs Affecting Horticulture

It is a firm conviction of the writer
that no one is fully qualified to legislate
for the multitude who has failed to read
and digest Herbert Spencer's "Sins of
Legislators," or who lias not read Elihu
Root's addresses on the same subject. For
certain it is that legislation over the
"Land of tlie Free and the Home of the
Brave," piles up mountains high every
time the la^^-makers get into action. Pos-
sibly ten thousand pages of law grace
the "dry as dust" records of yesterday in
every state in the ITnion, To verify the
constitutionality of all of this dry as
dust legislation might require an addi-
tional ten thousand pages of court deci-
sions. One of the subjects that has a
record for tinkering la^vinakers is horti-
culture and agriculture which is often
''worked on" by people who have but the
merest knowledge of government and con-
stitutional law. To be sure, some of this
is salutary, but much of it is also vicious.
The session of the California legislature
just closed passed 47 laws dealing with
rural industry in one way and another.
Of this number about a dozen affect the
nursery, seed and florist interests of the
state, all of which are protective in char-
acter, and if intelligently administered,
may do much to foster and promote hor-
ticultural development. Two have to do
with the seed industry, one carrying an
appropriation of Sl5,000 with which to
carry out the provisions of the pure seed
law, and the other to prevent the adultera-
tion and mislabeling of agricultural seeds.
The horticultural laws passed, in which
the commercial plantsmen have a direct
interest, centralize the authoritj" of coimty
horticultural commissioners in the Direc-
tor of Agriculture and provide for a
statewide examination of horticultural
commissioners. It is thought that by cen-
tralizing authority the plantsmen will have
only one authority to consult, while under
the present regime they have as many of-
fiuials to deal with as there are county
horticultural commissioners. The statewide,
examinations for coimty commissioners re-
moves candidates from the purely local
field, and is designed to secure better tal-
ent, better service, and a higher efiicleney.
There is another law that provides a grad-
uated license for nurseries, the tax being
.50c. an acre annually. This fund is to
cover the expense of licensing and to main-
tain an expert in the field covering the
inspection of nurseries. It is thought that
this increased tax will eliminate many
of the itinerant tree peddlers and socailed
sales agents that ave in no sense a fixture
to the land much less responsible growers
of nursery stock. The other bills have to
do with orchard and vineyard crops, dairy-
ing and live stock and kindred branches
of rural economy.

South Pasadena, Calif.

The G. & G. Nursery has been estab-
lished in the city of South Pasadena,
Calif., consisting of a co-partnership of
Mrs. Cecilia Gilbert, formerly of Sturgeon
Bay, Wis., and Geo. C. Groenewegen,
formerly of Amsterdam, Holland, both
parties having had a wide experience in
the florist and nursery business.

They will engage in nursery and land-
scape work, ilrs. Gilbert being a grower
and designer and !Mr. Groenewegen a
landscape architect and supervisor of
private estates. With this experience
thev are assured of meeting with success.

Fayettevili.e, N. y. — Robert M. Bark-
er, who maintains a kennel of imported
Irish wolfhounds, will grow Asters on a
large scale. Associated with bim in the
enterpri.se is A. T. Williams, formerly of
Bald\vinsville, X. Y., and known as an
expert on Aster growing. The men now
have ready for transplanting about 40,-
000 plants."

Don't Fool Yourself on the Cost of Glass

The most interesting thing to you about glass, right
now, is that it's down in price. But, after all is said
and done, when you get out your pencil and do some
"real figuring, the difference of even a dollar a box
doesn't really amount to so much on the total cost of
your house.

Putting off putting up another house because of the
price of glass is quite as reasonable as refusing to
buy a suit of clothes because the price of the silk
thread the seams are sewed with is higher than it used
to be.

Now let's get down to the real facts and see what the
actual truth is. Take a house, say, 200 feet long and
60 wide. Leaving out the cost of benching and heating,
the cost of the glass is but 16- ^ per cent of the entire
cost of house, erected, glazed and painted complete. If
glass were a dollar a box lower than it is now, it would
only make 2}4 per cent difference on the cost of your
house.

So don't make the mistake of letting the price of glass
be the deciding point in your building now. The only
point that should influence your decision is: Can you
ma\e money, if you have the house ? If you can, then you
can easily make up the possible difference in building
costs between this year and next. Not only make it up,
but make money besides. If such was not the case, do
you suppose a sound-sensed ' hard-headed buyer, like
F. B. Abrams of Blue Point, L. I., would be building one
of our iron framers over 60 feet wide and 400 long ? Do
you suppose that keen, shrewd: man Fallon, leader among
the florists of Roanoke, Va., w(J)uld be building? Do you
suppose that cautious, far-seeing Yankee, Mr. Chas.
Strout, would now be putting his Carnation money in
one of our big houses ?

If these careful, straight-thinking, sure-figuring men
can see there is money in building now, then there is
money in it for you. Let's get together and figure out
present costs, and see how it looks to you.

IlIO ]',ii;i uu-etiiii,' ill AVasliiiit;Uiii of the Americiiii
I l;osi> Siu'ii'l.v will so iliiwn iiilii thu hisioi'y of tlie
-*■ urj^niii/.atioii as its most successful ^atlioriiif;;. The

, weatliei' June 1 ami - could not have heen hetter ami
was ill uiarkod contrast to the rain ami nuul of other
years. Kver.vtliiny: went oft" witliout a hitch, despite
last miunte cliaii^'es in the program, trouhlesouie
motor cars and lack of knowledge on the part of some
o£ the amateur chanlleurs of the roads to aud from
the various places.

On .Tune 1. individual rosariaus and Government
men made trips to the Rose gardens in Arlington to
get a view of the plants at a time when all attention
could be devoted to a commercial consideration of the
plants. In otlier words, tlie.v made private studies
of the Koses there, leaving until the following day,
the discussions one with the other of the tectinical
points of the various types.

The eveniug was given over to an executive com-
mittee meetiiig at which many things were discussed,
including the forthcoming trip to Portland, Ore., while
in the afternoon, all of those who could be rounded
up for the trii). went to Bell, Md., where they viewed
the Roses of Dr. Van Fleet.
Among Dr. Van Fleet's Seedlings

Speaking of Kelt. Md., President Pyle stated that
the turnout was the biggest crowd that ever gath-
ered for the purpose ; what they saw was to the
rosariaus a great treat. The visitors were met by
Dr. ^■an Fleet and were shown the Roses and trees
surrounding his home, after which they were taken
to the seedling Rose garden where two hours were
spent in examining the many species and new varie-
ties obtained by Dr. Van Fleet.

As a result of this visit, the American Rose Society
will shortly introduce for the Department of Agricul-
ture, the most recent production of Dr. Van Fleet, one

: that has been known as No. 124, hut which, at the
suggestion of the City of Portland, Ore., will be given
the name of JIary Wallace, in honor of the daughter

I of the Secretary of Agriculture.

The visitors were deeply impressed with what they
saw at Bell and it was declared that Dr. Van Fleet
has laid the foundation for the most extensive hy-
bridization work on Roses that will surpass all past

': efforts both at home and abroad. He has made a col-
lection of in excess of one hundred species from all

: parts of the globe and is just beginning to reap the
benefits of his fifteen years' work in the production
of new Roses.

There were a number of seedlings which were the
subject of favorable comment. No. 237 is a luminous
cerise Wicliuraiaiia crossed with a hybrid tea, the
name of which is unknown. This is calculated to
make either a climber or pillar Rose for the average
home where special care cannot be given to plants.

W. S. No. IS, white, is a Wiehuraiana crossed with
Souleana. This is likely to prove very profitable be-
cause of the countless number of blossoms on every
plant.

Another Rose of promise is Wiehuraiana crossed

! with Jackii ; this blooms three weeks earlier than the
average Wiehuraiana. It hugs the ground closely and
Is almost certain to prove valuable in covering the
banks of highways as the engineers of the country
become acquainted with the fact that roadsides are

I not complete until beautified with flowers.

i Wiehuraiana crossed with Moyesii may be described

[ as a marvelous bright-eyed royal purple single flower,

I 2%in. to Sin. in diameter, borne in great masses all

i over the bush. This is an example of the most diffl-
eult hybridizing, and promises to fill a very important
place in Rose world.

It was plainly to be seen that those who went to
Bell, felt well repaid for the time they spent there.

i They saw and wondered at the marvellous work of Dr.
A'an Fleet, and made copious notes of what they saw.

; Evening Business Session

At the evening session of the Executive Committee,
in advance of the incorporation of the American Rose

' Society, the oflieers were instructed to go ahead with
the consummation of an agreement with the Depart-
ment of Agriculture to facilitate the introduction to
the American public, of the Van Fleet Roses, begin-
ning with Mary Wallace (No. 124). A resolution was

[ adopted, instructing Secretary Wister to write a letter
to the Department, througli Professor Corbett, advis-
ing it that the following proposition has been ac-

I cepted :

The A. R. S. and Van Fleet Roses

"1. The Department of Agriculture will turn over
to the American Rose Society, a stock of at least one
hundred plants of the Roses ready for introduction.

"2. The .Vincricaii Rose Society undertakes to in-
sure tile prnpagalioii of the variety in sullicient quan-
tity to propiTly introduce it to the trade within five
years from the date of the receipt of the parent stock
material.

"3. In case of failure of the American Rose Society
to carry out its part of this agreement within a period
of five years, the Department of Agriculture shall be
free to make other arrangements for the dissemination
of the variety.

"4. The Rose Society agrees to offer the plants so
propagated at a price not to exceed double the average
price of a dozen standard varieties of the same type
as the introduction, as listed by a half dozen leading
Rose firms.

"5. The name of the Rose shall be that applied by
the Department of Agriculture and the identity of the
plants shall be maintained."

Various methods lor the fulfillment of this agree-
ment were discussed at the meeting. The following
was agreed to :

"That the American Rose Society arrange with sev-
eral persons or firms, agreeing to distribute to them
propagating stock of oue of the new Van Fleet Roses
in equal quantity lor propagation.

"That opportunity be offered to participate in such
distribution to members of the American Rose So-
ciety who are Rose growers ; who issue a retail cata-
logue ; who will agree to the conditions as to naming,
prices, etc., as arranged with the Department of Agri-
culture : and who will further agree to propagate from
the material assigned, to offer prominently in their
catalogues the resulting plants in two-year form, and
to pay to the American Rose Society at the end of one
selling year a royalty of 23 per cent of the retail price
agreed upon, making a deposit on account of such
royalty of $50 as a guarantee of good faith not less
than thirty days prior to the distribution of such
propagating material.

"That the committee on new Eoses arrange with
the participating persons or firms for uniform distri-
bution and offering of such Roses." Contract blanks
dealing with this matter may be had from the secre-
tary.

It was agreed that the price of this Rose for distri-
bution in the Fall of 1922 and Spring of 1923 should
be $2 per plant.

Mary Wallace Ready for Distribution

A great deal of wood is now available and it is pos-
sible to get buds and begin work at once. A number
of firms and individuals who would come under the
classification provided for above, have heretofore been
approached with a view to having them participate in
the plan. One concern has already announced that
it wants to raise between ten and twenty thousand
plants. This can be done, for there is a large number
of eyes. This firm will not undertake the work all at
one time, but would take out such stock as it can con-
veniently handle in one operation and then go back
as many times as may be necessary to complete the
work. There are plenty of eyes available and a large
number of firms can conveniently get their share if
they so desire. The wood will be available at Bell
on an equal basis to all. Details will be left to the
committee under the leadership of Prof. Mulford, who
will exercise supervision over the removal of the stock.
Each participating concern is to send its own men to
Bell to complete its individual operation.

It is quite probable that the sixty or more plants
now available, will be divided among the firms par-
ticipating, each being labeled with the name of the
participant to whom allotted to be called for at will.
The plants will be retained as mother plants for fu-
ture operations.

S. S. Pennock, who is at present in Europe, was
chairman of the committee but he asked some time
ago to be relieved of this duty because of his absence
from the United States.

A. R. S. Membership

Secretary Wister reported that to date there are
1892 members in the society, all on the $3 basis.
About 200 applications have been received since April
7. The membership has fallen off several hundred,
due to the change in the membership dues and cut-
ting out the affiliated $1 memberships.

Because of the possibilities, as in the past, of dupli-
cating names and because of the possible tendency to
pirate known names, as well as the adoption of pos-
sessive names, the possessives of which are soon for-
gotten and a competition of names results, the follow-
ing resolution was adopted :

Prevention of Duplicate Names

"Ilesolviil. That liy reason of the desirability of
preventing duplication of Rose names or of such simi-
larity as will result in duplication, it is the rule now
adopted by the American Society to refuse registra-
tion in such cases aud to dkscourage the use of pos-
sessive names for similar reasons, and further,

"He.mlved, That the Committee on Registration is
authorized to recommend simplification of such names
in the interest of better nomenclature."

Another resolution provided "That medals may be
furnislied to societies holding a bona fide public Hose
oxhiliition, provided that no silver medals may be
furnished if there be less than ten members of the
American Rose Society participating in such exhibi-
tion, and no bronze medal may be furnished if there
be less than five members of the American Rose So-
ciety participating in such exhibition."

The reports of the secretary and of the treasurer
were received, and it was announced that the Hand
Book of Roses was now ready.

The Trip to Arlington Rose Gardens

Early Thursday morning the rosariaus and their
friends began to congregate at the store of Gude Bros.
Co. where Adolph Gude, Jr., assisted by Otto Bauer,
president of the local florists' club, found places for
them in the long line of automobiles that had been
assembled to take them to the Arlington Rose Gar-
dens and other places named on the day's itinerary.
Soon the procession started for the gardens via his-
toric Georgetown, the visitors being given a glimpse
of the beautiful new concrete bridge that is to span
the Potomac River, connecting the District of Colum-
bia with the Virginia shore. They skirted the Arling-
ton National Cemetery and entered the grounds in
which the test gardens are located through an avenue
lined with beautiful trees, the Peony and Iris gar-
dens being visible also.

Upon arrival at the gardens, parties were made
up for a view of the exhibits and there were many
friendly discussions over the various varieties. Later,
those present gathered at the Summer house over
which the Van Fleet Eoses have climbed and furnished
blossoms to beautify the place, to listen to the wel-
come from Assistant Secretary of Agriculture E. D.
Ball. Mr. Ball was introduced to the assemblage by
President Pyle.

Fairyland at Twin Oaks

The Roses at Twin Oaks seemed just to have
bloomed out at this time in honor of the visiting ro-
sarians and to please Mrs. Charles J. Bell who enter-
tained them. On completing the inspection of the
Arlington Rose Gardens under the leadership of
George A. Anderson, who had prepared this part of
the itinerary, a trip was made to this show place of
Washington. The visitors were presented to Mrs. Bell
on the large veranda of the residence by Mr. Ander-
son and refreshments were served prior to the visit
to the flower gardens that make the estate a fairy-
land.

As a whole, the flowers looked fine. Many of the
Roses were exceptionally good and then there were
other varieties of flowers that attracted the attention
of all present for a considerable time. The big trees
and the Lily pond came in for their share of the
praise, the visit proving to be a very pleasant one.

Attractions of Walter Reed General Hospital

The next stop was Walter Reed General Hospital
where about fifteen hundred veterans are still con-
fined by reason of serious injuries. Many of the sick
wards were visited and later, the Rose growers prom-
ised to send some of their productions to be used in
the making of a show garden and for clieering up the
boys, all of whom seem to love flowers.

it was a big treat for everybody. The men and
women making the trip were greeted upon their ar-
rival by Colonel James D. Glennan, commanding offi-
cer of Walter Reed General Hospital, and many of
his officers. Then, headed by David Lumsden, In-
structor in Agriculture, and accompanied by the
Colonel, officers and nurses and aids, the trip to the
mess hall was made. After sightseeing all morning
and with the afternoon well under way, the appear-
ance of soldier boys with huge trays and dishes of
edibles was as welcome a sight as any of the day.

The lunch was a typical one for soldier boys at the
hospital, served to the guests just as it would have
been had each been in uniform, and it tasted mighty
good. No one seemed to notice that the cut glass and
silverware were missing, because they were too busy
disposing of the appetizing stew, the ma,shed potatoes,
green peas, the smooth white bread and, lastly, the
ice cream and coffee.

When this duty was completed, President Pyle
voiced the appreciation of the persons assembled for
the hospitality that had been extended by Colonel
Glennan and his assistants, and to Prof. Lumsden he

"A Close-Up of the Roses
Arlington"

As viewed by an Expert for the Florists*
change, Reported by Earle A. Dyer

at

Ex-

The gardeus showed a large aceumuliition of losses,
but it is understood that this will be overcome by a
rearrangoment of the space in the gardens. It is
proliable that three of the large beds will be divided
into siualler areas and in these will be placed the
Koses which are really under test : one or two of the
spaces will be discarded for the time being.

The rosarians expressed some doubt as to the abil-
ity of the gardeners to keep the place filled. When
the people again go in for Itose growing as they did
before the war, some of this dUhculty will be overcome
for there are many of the visitors liere for this meet-
ing who will be glad to ship in a hundred or two
hundred plants when they bave the stock available
for the purpose. Before the adoption of Quarantine
37, it was a much easier matter to supply the gardens'
needs when thousands of Rose plants were being
imported.

There is one thing sure and that is, if the Rose
growers of the country, including the amateur rosar-
ians who get the benefit of the testing of Rose plants,
are to get the greatest amount of good from these
gardens, it will be necessary for Congress to make
an appropriation for the purpose. The Department
of Agriculture officials do not seem to be able to do
much along the line of securing the support of Con-
gress financially and the only way it can be accom-
plished is through the Rose growers informing their
representatives in the House and Senate of this ex-
cellent work.

Many of the plants viewed on this occasion are five
years old and the comment upon these was music to
the ears of the men who have watched over and
worked on the gardens to make them a success. It
was the general comment that these men are to be
congratulated on their work.

One of the outstanding plants at the gardens was
Paul's Scarlet Climber, a Rose which makes known
its presence by its color ; it was the subject of most
favorable comment by all visitors. Last year it was
spoken of as the best — this year the same tribute can
be paid to it. A more detailed description of it would
but mar this story, for one cannot tell of its beauties
in words.

The climbers were all well pruned and, for the
most part, in Al condition. That was the statement
made by the commercial Rose growers who know.
Rosa Hugonis showed that it had made good growth.

There were an unusual number of Rose bugs in the
gardens at this time.

Teas and Hybrid Teas

Pink Killarney still holds its own, but while there
were some good flowers on the bushes, the bulk of
the blooms had gone. H. F. Eilers is not proving so
hearty and there are only three plants left in the row.
Some of the blooms looked good and the foliage was
clean.

Mme. Jules Grolez was not so attractive as the
nearby Pink Radiance, but the buds are especially
handsome and the blooms hold well. Pink Radiance
was truly magnificent and the blooms most fragrant.
The foliage was good and the variety was declared
to be one of the best for garden purposes in this sec-
tion of the country. Similar comment was made of
Red Radiance. It carried through the recent Winter
and frost very well.

Mme. jjambard is quite attractive. It is better as
a bedding Rose.

Hadley has not been growing very well in the gar-
dens; it has proven weak. The blooms, however, are
very beautiful, but that is about all one can say of
this variety insofar as the gardens are concerned.

Chateau de Glos Vougeot produces a very handsome
blossom of very deep red but the plants are proving
weak growers ; Louise Lilia was another attractive
red. Gruss an Teplitz was one of the best red bed-
ding Roses. It is not good for the production of cut
flowers because the stems are too short and flowers
are borne in clusters. It blooms all through the sea-
sou and is good at all times.

Killarney Queen was only just coming into bloom
but there were plenty of buds on the plants. Its few
open flowers filled the air with their perfume. It is
proving very hardy. Apotheker George Hofer, an
excellent hybrid perpetual, is rather upright in its
habits. Ail of the plants were full of buds and there
were a large number of good open blooms.

Mrs. Archie Gray, a handsome yellow Hybrid Tea,
has only been in the gardens two years, but it seems
to be doing very well and produces beautiful blossoms.
Alexander Hill Gray, a pale yellow, is also proving

a good vigorous grower and free bloomer. In the
short time it has been under observation it seems, to
be in tlie way of becoming one of the best yellow
Roses in tlie gardeus.

Mrs. George Gordon was at Its best; It Is a light
pinlv. This Ro.se has not proven as hearty and vigor-
ous as some of the others in the gardeus. Mrs. Wake-
field Christy Miller is a magnificent pink with large
blossoms. It was at its height but more buds were
coming on tlie plants. It is proving both hardy and
vigorous.

Ophelia is a fine cream color Rose that blooms
freely and is quite attractive, but it is not quite as
hearty as could be desired. The experts say that it is,
nevertheless, splendid. La Tosca is a good faithful
Rose, hearty and vigorous and can be depended upon
all through the season as a producer of good blooms.
Lady Ursula was only just coming into bloom. Its
flowers are not as good as some of the others in the
nearby beds, but it produces all through the season
and is hardy and vigorous.

Mme. Jean Dupuy has attractive looking flowers
but the bush is small, spreading and weak. It is not
a hardy variety. La France is not proving a very
vigorous grower in the gardens and is not as hardy
as some of the other varieties, but it is popular. Ecar-
late, a single bright red, is one of the most attractive
of flowers, but it is not proving as hardy as could be
desired.

Mme. Segond Weber has beautifully formed flowers
and blooms well during the season. This variety,
however, does not stand the Winters well. Prince de
Bulgarie, a salmon pink, is not a vigorous grower
but it gives a few blooms all through the season.
White La France is a moderate grower with attrac-
tive, fragrant flowers and it produces some blossoms
all through the season. Lucien Chaure has a most
beautifully formed bud and its pink coloring is very
attractive. It is rather rangy and does not form a
very large bush.

Mrs. A. R. Waddell is very handsome, with color
approximating true salmon. The blooms were full
OEffin but there were plenty of buds coming through.
It is not a very strong grower but it is hardy and
the blooms splendid.

Mme. Leon Paine is not as satisfactory as could be
desired and the buds do not begin to compare with
some of the others, but in half-open stage they look
good.

Dwarf Polyanthas

The Baby Ramblers all looked fine. Most of them
were in full bloom and choice was a matter of per-
sonal preference. "It is marvellous how well they
do," was one comment heard by The Exchange cor-
respondent. There were Katherine Zeimet, Sehnee-
kopf, Clotilde Soupert, Baby Elegance, Yvonne Ra-
bier, Marie Pavie, all white; Mme. F. Favre, a car-
mine; Baby Tausendschoen and Echo in the pinks.

Gruss an Aachen, with its large flowers shading
pink, white and yellow, is not of the general type of
Baby Rambler. It is very handsome, vigorous and
blooms all through the season. Tip Top looks good,
what there is of it. It is a dwarf, but the flowers are
attractive. The coloring, pink and white, with some
yellow in the bud, makes the flowers beautiful.

Mignonette^ a pink, is not as showy as could be de-
sired; Mrs. Cutbush is very good and the same may
be said of Ellen Poulson. Baby Dorothy is not as
clear a pink as Mrs. Cutbush. Brodure does not
present a very neat appearance. Annie Mueller is
somewhat commonplace. Leonie Lamesch has very
big pink and red flowers. The blooms of Jessie are
very prettily formed. Mme. Jules Gouchault did not
look as well as it might with flowers having a washed
out appearance.

Baby Rambler, one of the best-known of the type,
was excellent, exceptionally full of blooms and buds
with color a true Rose. Erna Teschendorf is not so
vigorous a grower, but is a very good red; Triumph
Orleanais is the best red. The bush is large. Orleans
is not as good either as to flowers or foliage. Maman
Turbat is a good pink, the bush is small, but hardy;
a free bloomer and was full of buds and flowers.

Climbing Roses

Mme. Alfred Carriere blooms all through the Sum-
mer and produces large flowers. Countess M. H.
Chotek was hurt very badly by the frost. However,
the one or two flowers that it had were a beautiful
red and were well formed.

American Pillar was excellent, full of blooms and
of fairly good color. It is one of the most popular
among the climbers. Meteor is a very good red. The
foliage is good, but it does not bear as many buds
and blooms as could be desired.

Empress of China, a white, was badly hurt by the
late frost ; Debutante was partly affected by the frost,
but it had good foliage and was fairly full of buds.

Queen of the Prairies decidedly rangy and was sur-
passed by many of the others. Baroness Von Itter-
sum, a semi-double, has clear pink flowers and good

foliage, might pass as a red Tausendschoen. Lady
Gudiva is a very pretty light pink. R. Setigera was
full of buds, but it was too early for blooms. R. poly-
iintha grandiflora is said to be very handsome when
in bloom, but the flowers were all gone wlien viewed
by the visitors. The flowers are white.

Zepherinc Drouhin is a very handsome pink ; Flame
is a very good climber and full of foliage; Farquhar
is a very good pink ; Hugh Dickson, a climbing hy-
brid tea, is very good ; Rubin is magnificent.

Everyone who visited the gardens spoke highly of
the Dr. Van Fleet Rose which covers the Summer
house. One cannot say too much of this, for it is the
sujierior of all of its type. Had its originator been
present he would probably have been made most
iiappy by the compliments that were bestowed upon
the Rose and the words of praise for the efforts of
the man.

Everblooming Crimson Rambler was full of bloom,
and the same may be said of Flower of Fairfield.
.\ustrian Briar was a yellow just going out of bloom.
\'eilchenblau was in full bloom but the comment was
that it is so big that no grounds are big enough to
take care of it. Gardenia is a pretty yellow, but the
foliage is poor. Silver Moon is a single white and
very attractive.

Hybrid Perpetuals

Captain Hayward is not so vigorous a grower as
could be desired, but it has good flowers; Baron de
Bonstettin has flowers of a deep velvety red. It is
just coming into bloom; Eugene Furst is a good red
and the bushes were full of blooms and buds; Oak-
mont is a pink but not very good. However, it is
making a good show just now ; Pierre Netting is an-
other very good red ; Beauty of Rosemawr is one of
the very good bedding Roses which blooms all through
the season. It is a handsome rose pink. Hermosa
is excellent.

Cook's No. 512, a beautiful pink, is very fragrant.
It grows very bushy and clean. The plants are four
years old and have proven themselves hardy. Cook's
No. 561 is a lighter pink. It is also good.

SO MUCH has been said regarding bulbs for forcing
and the various difiiculties likely to crop up, or
which have cropped up, that it may seem almost
superfluous to say more on the subject. And yet, with
so much money invested in bulb stock, most Of it im-
ported, it is just possible a chance word by any one
writer may prove the solution of trouble that has
affected bulb growers in the past. The term bulb
grower as used here refers to those who plant bulbs
for bloom production, either in the open ground or
under glass.

The bulb grower proper is, of course, the producer
of bulbs and, as a whole the Hollanders may be classed
as bulb producers. Even they have their troubles, one
of the worst being the "Fire" disease which is apt to
ravage Tulips when the season is unduly variable.
This disease has a weakening effect on the bulbs inas-
much that it disfigures the foliage and causes the
bulbs to ripen off prematurely.

Tulips Like Fresh Soil

Long experience has proved that Tulips cannot be
grown on the same land, year after year, with any
success. Especially is this so with early sorts. The
later sorts are not so sensitive, but even with these
one should not take chances. Tulips cannot be natural-
ized as can Daffodils. One may allow late Tulips to
remain in the beds a couple of seasons without any
serious hurt but, because of menace of "Fire," it is
safer for the florist to take them up.

All bulbs have a natural tendency to start rooting
early; Daffodils more so than Tulips, but the latter,
if left in the ground, will assuredly start moving and
come above ground sooner than is good for them.

What Causes Fire Disease

If planted in the early Fall, say October, growth is
apt to be above ground before the Spring weather
settles. The variable conditions, wetness, heat and
cold existing this past season, have all tended to en-
courage an outbreak of "Fire," not a few having re-
ported that their late Tulips had done badly.

On the other hand, those who planted in mid- to late
November found their Tulips exceptionally good. This
writer planted a batch in late November last, in a
position facing north. No growth appeared till April
and it was mid-May before any blooms showed color.
But for the fierce hot spells, the flowers would have
seen the month out.

Past Forcing Troubles

Touching upon the question of forcing troubles last
season, it is worth while observing that with a few

HARDY PINKS

These New Perpetual Flowering Hardy Pinks are a great
improvement on the old type of hardy Pink, being equally as
hardy and perpetual flowering. They bloom continually from
early Summer until Fall, and the flowers are larger than the
old types, more substantial and borne on long stems, suitable
for cutting and very fragrant. They are valuable both as a
cut flower and for the perennial border. We offer three distinct
varieties:

HAROLD. Large double w^hite, of symmetrical form.
JEAN. Pure white, with purple center.

ROBERT. Delicate shade of old rose, with light maroon center.
Strong 3-in. and 4-in. pots, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100,

Notes from Abroad

Unusually few complaints as to the wea-
ther are heard just now in Great Britain,
genuine May weather being the rule, and
if the traditional three cold days in the
third week do not bring us unwelcome
frosts, we may glide happily into the Sum-
mer, as we did last year.

The dry spell in the western seed
glowing districts of France was begin-
ning to arouse serious apprehensions, but
some good rains have supervened to place
matters on a better footing.

What is seed time in one part of the
world is harvest time in another. The
vegetable seed crops are now being pre-
pared in New Zealand, and one of the
chief growers reports the yield in general
as satisfactory. Peas are one of the most
important crops and they are estimated
as about 80 per cent of the average. But
for unusually sudden changes in the wea-
ther, they would have been better still.

The Holland bulb campaign is now in
full swing, and the number of traveling
agents just now probably breaks the
record. Whether they are gathering in
sheaves of orders is uncertain, as buyers
are not inclined to be rash, many of them
having burnt their fingers pretty badly
last season with high priced bulbs.

In the last Royal Horticultural So-
ciety's show. Tulips held the field, and the
difiiculty was to find room for the ex-
hibits, not to mention the visitors. This
prosperous society will soon have to face
the question of enlarged accommodation,
the spacious hall at Westminster quite
failing now to comply with its regular re-
quirements.

May 17, 1921.

Eain has fallen in Western Europe, but
it is doubtful whether the downfall has
been sufficient for the needs of the grow-
ing crops, and further precipitations
would be gladly welcomed.

In Provence the mistral has done more
damage in some ways than was expected,
and among other articles the Lettuces
have suflered. As the plantations are on
a more extensive scale than last year, how-
ever, a shortage is not greatly to be
feared, though some special lots have
failed entirely.

Turnips, Parsley and Radishes are look-
ing very well in this region, but Onions
will be a short crop of all sorts, and of
Leeks and Swiss Chard there is very little
out. Peas in this district are not grown
on a very large scale and then mostly for
local needs. The Spring sowings of flower
seeds have come up well in the main, and
according to present appearances good
average crops may be looked for.

From the Anjoi^ district in Western
France it is reported that there are larger
breadths of Leek than last year and that
the plantations of Parsley are doing very
well.

Among the trials to be made this Sum-
mer at the Royal Horticultural Society's
gardens at Wisley, England, is one of
Antirrhinums, in order to find out which
are the best varieties for Spring flowering
in pots. As the cultivation of the Snap-
dragon, both for greenhouse decoration
and for the garden, is now in the as-
cendant on both sides of the Atlantic, the
results of these trials may prove to be of
considerable interest.

New York Seed Trade

Sales of vegetable, field and flower
seeds for Spring planting have practically
ceased. This is clearly evidenced by the
fact that several of the seed stores of
this city have already begun taking an
inventory of stock. Furthermore, the
practice of closing on Saturday at either
12 or 1 o'clock and on other weekdays at
5 o'clock has been inaugurated for the
Summer season in most of the stores.

There will still, to be sure, be some sales
of vegetable seeds for a second planting
when the early crops have matured and
been harvested. Besides, the sales of
perennial flower seeds and of seasonable
seeds for planting under glass are now
coming into full swing. The California
^reesia bulbs also will soon be on sale
Ihe sales of insecticides and apparatus for
their application and of sundries will
probably reach well into the Autunm sea-
son. In green plants late Cabbage, Sweet
Potatoes, Cauliflower and Celery are now
on the market. Travelers from the sev-
eral stores are again out on the road
and some of the more experienced men
m the stores have begun to put in some
time on the trial grounds and to acquire
a coat of tan which makes it appear, when
they return to the city, as if they had
been gone on a long vacation.

Wm. M. Hunt & Co., 148 Chambers st ,
are celebrating their annual Field Day
on Wednesday of this week on the Straw-
berry grounds of Tice C. Kevitt of Ath-
r"'^' Fi, ^' *°'' whose products in the
iJ£^ of Strawberry and Raspberry plants
^•"-.^■Jf™* ^ ^°' I'l':-. are the sales
agents. This firm has sent out many in-
vitations to the trade and private garden-
ers and as Mr. Kevitt is one of the most
lamous Strawberry specialists in this
country, there will probably be a large at-
tendance. We hope to be able to give
some account of this Field Day in our
nest issue.

Burnett Bros., 92 Chambers St., are mail-
ing out their Strawberry list. Travelers
tor this firm are now going out on the
road and the store force is taking in-
ventory of stock.

The window placard advertising with
Its weekly and often daily changes at A
i. Boddington's, 128 Chambers St., is of
the most wide awake and uptodate char-
acter of any we have ever noted in any
seed store in this city, as regards both
ideas and their execution.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay st
reports that its wholesale price list for
florists for Summer sowing is now on
the press and will be ready for distribu-
tion next week. The present demand for
perennial seeds and for seasonable seeds
for sowing under glass has begun at this
store and is showing a steady increase.
Celery, late Cabbage and Cauliflower
plants are noiv the leaders in the green
plant sales.

One of the leading features at Stumpp
& Walter Co., 30-32 Barclay st., this week
is potted Roses, of which this company
IS offering a large number of varieties of
extraordinarily well grown plants.

The MacNiff Horticultural Co., 52-54
Vesey St., reports that all of its depart-
ments have been moved into its new quar-
ters in the five story building at 196
Greenwich st., except the green plant and
auction department. The bi-weekly sales
of the latter are still on and are well at-
tended.

Harry Goldberg of the firm of Wm, M.
Hunt & Co, returned some days ago from
a business trip through the Middle West
during which he visited a number of the
cities and larger towns. He has since been
making a short business trip through
some parts of Connecticut,

, Roman J, Irwin, 43 W. ISth st,, left the
city on Tuesday night of this week on a
business trip to Boston, Mass,, where he
expects to spend several days.

The following local seed houses are
represented among the donors of special
prizes for the Annual Flower Show to
be held by the Community Club of Hemp-
stead and Garden City, N, Y,, at the lat-
ter place on June 10: J, M, Thorburn &

How the Richest Plant Food is Used

In liquid form use directly on the soil; do not touch foliage or stems.
Dissolve four tablets to the gallon of water and use in place of liquid
manure. Use every teij days; some plants will stand more frequent use.

Compare with liquid manure and see how much less the trouble is
and how much greater the results.

Three or four tablets (one every ten days) placed in the hills wth
a dibble, make Cucumbers, Squash and Melons fairly jump and the
crop all big ones.

For Coldframes, Hotbeds and Greenhouse Benches, place the tablets
a foot apart each way unless the liquid form is used.

For crops in drills, use 1 tablet to each foot of row.

In hills, other than vines, use one tablet to each hill.

In Flower Beds and Borders, place tablets 1 foot apart.

Brush Fruits and Shrubbery, use three to five tablets, placed in the
soil with the dibble about each plant.

Fruit or Ornamental Trees, place tablets two feet apart and extend-
ing out from the trunk, as far as the longest branches.

The Most Modern^ Efficient and Scientific
Method of Fertilizing

Each tablet contains highly concentrated, immediately available
plant food for stimulating Vegetables, Fruit and Ornamental plants.

Stim-U-PlanT tablets enable the grower to control development.
They increase production, heighten color and improve quality. Their
use is highly profitable.

Stim-U-PlanT contains a ^guaranteed analysis of 1 1 per cent Nitro-
gen, 1 2 per cent Phosphoric Acid, 1 5 per cent Potash.

The better grades of commercial fertilizers contain 3 to 5 per cent
Nitrogen, 6 to 1 0 per cent Phosphoric Acid and 3 to 5 per cent Potash.

Stim-U-PlanT is water soluble and immediately available. You save
paying for, and cartage on a lot of w^orthless "filler/' which only adds
to bulk, freight, hauling and labor in handling.

No matter how fertile the soil, Stim-U-PlanT is effective in feeding
and forwarding crops. It is a money maker and labor saver for Market
Gardeners and Florists.

Price, delivered, 1000 tablets $3.50. The same results with ordinary
fertilizer would cost double and more.

Magotite acts as a preventive
by repelling the Fly, which lays the
eggs from which the maggots are
hatched. It also destroys maggots
which are already in the soil. It
has proved very effective in com-
bating Earth Worms of all kinds,
the Strawberry Crown Borer, Cab-
bage Worms, Asparagus Miner,
Flea Beetles, Cut Worms and all
kinds of Slugs.

Simply sprinkle in and over the
drills when seeding, and around the
roots when planting, and after the
plants are through It is sprinkled
around and alongside of them.

It is not injurious to plant life in
any way, but on the contrary is a
valuable stimulant and fertilizer.

A 4-lb. package will cover about
300 feet of drill, mixed with soil
at planting time, with an occasional
top dusting as a preventive during
the growing period. For Field

Chicago Seed Trade

A. Hender-son of A. Henderson & Co.
has been receiving the sympathy of his
f,riends on the death of his mother, which
occurred near Aberdeen, Scotland, on May
31. A cablegram announcing the fact
was received on June 1.

VaugUan's Seed Store is enjoying a
heavy demand for bedding plants. Cannas
are in larger demand than ever, and King
Humbert is a favorite with most buy-
ers. There is a daily display in the store
of Peonies and Iris from the nurseries at
Western Springs. These are all cor-
rectly named, a fact that much enhances
the value of the exhibition to all who
propose buying the plants in the Fall.

Henderson's Seed Store is having a
good trade in vegetable and flowering
plants. Paul's new Scarlet Climbing Rose,
sent out by Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia,
is a leader in its class and some fine heavy
plants are offered. !JIanager Degnan
states that there is quite a scarcity of
many items in plants among "Western
growers such as Draciena indivisa, Eng-
lish Ivy, Vinca minor for graves and
many other items of stock. Chicago deal-
ers are having to send East for a supply
of these.

The leading Chicago seed houses have
a cooperative advertisement in the Chi-
cago Sunday papers recommending Mel-
rosine, a product of the Garden Chemical
Co., New York, for the eradication of
Rose bugs. "Why raise Koses to feed
Bugs?" is their slogan.

At the store of the W. W. Barnard Co.
there was a large trade in plants and
seed the past week all available help from
other departments having had to be called
on to wait on the counter customers. R.
B. Howe, president of the company and
Henry Bertoli will represent the firm at
the forthcoming meetings of the Southern
Seedsmen's Association at Memphis, Tenn.,
and the American Seed Grade Association
at St. Louis, Mo.

The American Bulb Co. has made ar-
rangements to disseminate the new white
Rose Medina, of the White Bros. Co.,
Medina, X. Y. Mr. Miller, on his recent
trip East, made the trip to Medina, to see
the Rose growing, and was so impressed
with it that he brought a nimiber of the
blooms to Chicago and put them on exhi-
bition here for a few days. That they
met with the approval of the largest
growers in this section is attested by the
fact that about 20,000 plants were sold
to leading growers who saw the blooms.
The variety is a sport of Sunburst; it has
large pure white buds and a habit of
growth like Simburst, but it is a better
bloomer. The Michigan Cut Flower Co.,
of Detroit^ and the Kasting Co., of Buf-
falo, X. Y., have been handling the cut
of this variety for the past few years,
and state that it has given universal satis-
faction, to their trade. W. J. Keimel, of
the Wendland & Keimel Co., Elmhurst,
111., will make an immediate trip to
Medina for a further inspection of this
variety. Chicago Rose growers have for
sonie time been in the market for a new
white variety, and from the impression
this one has made here, there is no doubt
that in a very short time it will become
the leader in its color among the large
western growers.

Los Angeles, Cal.

Jolm Bodger & Sons Co. Reports

Since the recent hea\-y rainfall we have
had cold, cloudy weather, and crops are
not advancing as rapidly as we would like
to see them. Today, !May 31, however, the
sun is shining, there is a slight rise in
temperature and we are hoping that the
month of June will bring us some fine
weather, otherwise many of our 1921
crops will be light, if not an entire failure.

Our acreage for the coming season is a
little reduced on some of the specialties
we are growing, but slightly increased on
Asters and Zinnias.

J. M. Bridgeford, of Watkins t Simp-
son, Ltd., London, England, arrived in
Los Angeles last Saturday afternoon at
2.45, just an hour under two weeks since
he left England on the S. S. "Aquitania,"
which undoubtedly made a record trip,
crossing in five days and 20 hours in spite
of the strike. His trip across the country
was made without a break, except for a
short visit to the Grand Canyon. He ar-
rived in excellent health and was met at
the train by the following representatives
of the seed and nursery business:

Messrs. David Burpee and Geo. W.
Kerr, of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Phila-
delphia; Fred Howard, of Howard &
Smith, Los Angeles; Daniel McRorie, of
McRorie & McLaren, San Francisco, and
Walter and J. C. Bodger, of John Bodger
& Sons Co., Los Angeles. These gentlemen
escorted him oil a sight seeing ■ tour
around Pasadena and through the private
estate of H. E. Himtington of San
Marengo, afterward assembling at the
Jonathan Club for dinner, where they
spent a pleasant evening. Mr. Brideford
was delighted with the country around
Los Angeles, and was especially impressed
■with its horticulture, both ornamental and
economic. Although his trip to America
is to be a very hurried one, he expects to
spend two weeks in California and will
then go as far ^N'orth as Vancouver, cross-
ing the Canadian Rockies and returning
to ^Tew York by way of Chicago and
Philadelphia.

The Dutch Bulb Crop

This report is forwarded by J. J. Grulle-
mans d- Sons of Lisse, Holland, under date
of May 17, 1921.

The early Spring and the general fine
weather made it appear that a first class
crop could be expected. However, dry
weather set in and general opinion has
changed regarding a crop equal or better
than last year.

For weeks we have not had any rain of
importance, and if rain does not come
soon, bulbs may turn out to be much
smaller than last year. The outlook for
the present is as follows:

Hyacinths. — Generally good, although,
in a great number of fields, they show
signs of suffering from drought.

Tulips. — A lot of early Tulips have suf-
fered much and there will be harvested a
smaller bulb than last year. Dam^ins are,
as a rule, looking better.

Crocuses. — Dying off fast and only a
medium crop may be expected.

Xarcissi. — On the lower fields a good
crop is expected, whereas in other dis-
tricts only a medium crop will be har-
vested.

Anemones and Ranunculus. — The dry
weather has played great havoc with
these, and the same may be said of the
greater part of the miscellaneous stock.

Holland Needs Rain

Seger Bros, have written their local
representative, J. H. Ran, that bulb crops
in Holland are showing the signs of an
extended dry period. The general condi-
tion of Tulips call for an early lifting.
Hyacinths, too, are suffering from the
same cause and a shortage of firsts will
not surprise.

French Bulbs and Bridsfa

Merchants

Retail bulb merchants in England are
apparently as much disturbed about
French bulb prices as are our own dealers
and forcers. The following letter from
The Horticultural Trade Journal, signed
by a number of well known London con-
cerns is eloquent testimony of the fact:

Se FrenclL Billl)s

The undersigned London tirms, in re-
spect of French bulbs, are in agreement
that the rates at present being asked
by the growers are so prohibitive that
the trade in these items will be still
further diminished.

It is a common experience with them
all — and we think with most other
houses in the country — that last sea-
son's high prices resulted in a diminu-
tion of business in Roman Hyacinths,
etc., of approximately one-third; and to
further increase prices — especially hav-
ing regard to the fact that we are at
present passing through a period of
acute general trade depression — will
about put the finishing touch. French
bulbs will certainly not be worth hand-
ling if the growers maintain the rates at
present being asked.

It is of interest to note that the
French dealers or agents themselves, ex-
press the opinion that the figures quoted
by the growers are outrageous. Further,
Dutch bulbs this Autumn — in common
with almost all other commodities — will
be cheaper, and why the French grow-
er.s should endeavoi' to obtain .sucli ab-
surd prices is a mystery.

In conclusion we may say the firms
below have no intention whatsoever of
buying at the present prices, and if we
may make the suggestion, we would say
the trade In general would be well ad-
vised to postpone purchasing.

Do You Know the Grasses ?

Some interesting and perhaps little
known facts, and some even more remark-
able illustrations are presented in an ar-
ticle on "Familiar Grasses and Their
Flowers" in the June issue of the Na-
tional Geographic Magazine. Comment-
ing on the long history of the grass family
which "dates back to the days of the
forefathers of the horse, the camel and
many others of the important herbivorous
animals of the present day," the authors
rank the grasses as '"second to none in im-
portance of all the plants that cover our
earth."

The variety encountered in the grass
family also is great, as suggested by
the fact that there are more than 10,000
species in the order (1300 of them indi-
genous to the Lnited States) ranging
from the giant Bamboo, through the staple
cereals such as E.ice, Corn, Oats, Wheat,
etc., down to the delicate pasture and
laA\-n grasses such as Red Top, Blue Grass,
etc.

The eight full page illustrations that
accompany the article are unusual in two
main respects. First, they are in full
color, against a solid black background.
Secondly, each of them pictures not only
a typical flower head natural size, but
also a single flower magnified anywhere
from 30 to 50 diameters.

Thus the 'iDlossom" of a Timothy head,
Avhieh we know — if at all — as a delicate
little body, perhaps an eighth of an inch
long, becomes a strange, fringed, green,
yellow and pinkish lavender structure sur-
mounted by a branching appendage re-
sembling a piece of delicate coral, the
whole being about seven inches long. The
cell structure of the seed coats, the min-
ute down covering the flower tissues, the
ribbed anthers and the receptive pistils
and all the other details, of which one
cannot imagine the beauty and strangeness
are shown clearly — and we can well be-
lieve accurately, although the brilliant
colorings almost cause us to gasp at first.

Barnyard grass, Kentucky Blue grass.
Purple Top, Yellow Foxtail, Rye Grass,
Ted Top and Orchard Grass are the other
sorts, described and illustrated. All of
them are strange enough when seen at this
unusual close range, to supply new inter-
est to seedsmen who heretofore have
known and dealt with the plants only
in fheir seed form by the bushel or in
larger lots.

Louisville, Ky.

George (reading from seedsman's catalogue) —
"This magnificent plant bursts into glorious
bloom in July, gi^aDg the garden the splendor
of a billowy surf-swept coast or miles of great
roUing snowdrift emblazoned by the setting
sun."

Makel — "Oh, George, do let us have a two-
penny packet of that ! "

10,000 Farmers Buy Seed With
Government Loaned Funds

Farmers to the niunber of 10,000 or
more in the drought stricken Northwest
have taken advantage of the Government's
offer to loan them money for the purchase
of seed for 1921 planting. Of the S2,-
000,000 appropriation made for this pur-
pose, about §1,500,000 had been used by
May 30, in loans of S200 or less. The de-
mand was so heavy that this figure was
set as a maximum, while applicants were
restricted to growers who harvested a
yield of less than five bushels per acre
last year. A preliminary report as to
numbers and amounts of loans made in
four states shows the following: North
Dakota, 4304 loans, total value, §663,256;
Montana, 47So loans, ^679,451; Idaho, 434
loans, $38,996 ; Washington. 40 loans,
.S3700.

Notwithstanding the fact that ilondav.
a week ago, was one of the hottest day?
this year. Memorial Day set a record that
far exceeded any previous day in the his-
tory of Louisville. Florists say that as a
rule Memorial Days of previous years
have not shown any extraordinary records.
This last one, however, called for flowers
several days before the orders were ex-
pected. Seeing that the advance orders
were so numerous, the local dealers pre-
pared and were ready when the peak of
the rush came.

From early Monday morning the florist
shops were packed with people and the
majority of orders for flowers were large
ones. Everything sold and when night
came there was hardly a shop in the city
that was not almost bare of flowers. The
unusual outburst of memorial patriotism
has been attributed to the eSect created
by the late war. There was hardly a
family throughout the South that did not
have some member who was concerned in
the last great conflict. The memories of
the great war and all the suffering that
was endured through it, brought home to
the people the fact that others had suf-
fered for Democracy long before. Hence,
the demand for flowers.

Right at present, the most called for
of all the outdoor flowers is the Gladioli.
The demand has been great and a dandy
crop has been raised this year. The blooms
are unusually large, according to reports,
and the weather has been right for culti-
vating the plants. Cut Roses come nest,
and there is a good demand for the bushes
as well; a great many people are just
setting out their Rose bushes, and florists
tell of a good supply being sold.

One queer feature of this year's com-
mencements and weddings is the fact that
although Roses and more expensive flow-
ers are good. Daisies seem to have it when
it comes to popularity. Advance orders
and inquiries regarding decorations for
the home, church and school are mainly
for Daisies. This seems queer, but nev-
ertheless it is true, and florists are at
present arranging for all the Daisies that
can be had throughout the early part of
June. One florist tells of an instance where
a certain Catholic Girls' School in the
city came to him and ordered Black Eyed
Susans for their graduation exercises. They
urged him to find all that he could and
guaranteed to take all he could get.

In taking a review of business with a
nimaber of florists, it was said that busi-
ness has been extraordinary since the
first days of Spring. When the first warm
days appeared and the sure signs of steady
weather came, planting was started and
since the first orders for shrubbery were
filled, business has been on the climb. It
is true that there have been a few days
when trade has been rather slow, but as
a whole, the year has been very success-
ful. There has been no complaint as to
conditions; stock has been very good this
year and people have really been buying
as they never bought before. Florists say
that if the trade only shows the same
percentage throughout the remainder of
the year, this year will go down on record
as perhaps the best that has ever been
seen in these regions.

The meeting of the Kentucky Society
of Florists to be held on June 8, will de-
cide the site and perfect plans for the an-
nual florists picnic. A program will be
arranged, considering games of all kinds,
races, and plenty of play. It is the in-
tention of the association to make this
future picnic correspond in success with
the success of business this year.

L. Bryant, greenhouse gardener and
manager for Anders Rasmussen, has been
very sick of late. Shortly before Me-
morial Day he was forced to bed by a dis-
ability and arose to take care of the Me-
morial Day business. He suffered a re-
lapse and is once more in bed.

Geneva, N. Y.— The William Smith
Park property of the W. & T. Smith Nur-
sery Co. has been purchased by P. H.
Ritchie of Rochester. The park comprises
some 27 acres, and its beauty has been
much admired by motorists and tourists.
The William Smith Observatory, located
there, made the park doubly attractive.
It is stated that the new owner proposes
to run two streets through the tract and
that the land will be laid out in 90 build-
ing plots. The park is opposite the N. Y.
State Agricultural Experimeitt Station.

Bedding Stock and the Retail
Grower

With a lot of us, the bedding season
came with a rush, and a few days cleaned
out all of the good stock. It was done
in a shorter time than ever before, and
while the prices didn't average quite as
high as a year ago, I am sure we have no
kick coming. More people than ever
planted so-called bedding stock and this
will keep on, and the grower can't do bet-
ter than give more attention to this
brant-h of his business. You can make
money purchasing 4iu. Geraniums and
other stock and retailing the same, but as
such stock can be successfully grown, or at
least a lot of it, iu houses maybe not good
enough for Roses or Carnations, why not
grow on as much as possible yourself ?
It pays to sit down now and make a
record of what you have been short this
year: of what you had to buy at the last
minute, and the stock you were unable to
obtain. It means something to prepare
and get ready the many different varieties
of plants there is call for. You can't
trust to good luck; a better way is to
map out next year's campaign and start
to prepare in time. There is money in
bedding stock because most of it you can
grow on yourself. A lot of business is
done in a few days; let the specialist
grow the things you can't do as well, but
pay attention to bedding stock. Grow a
great variety, enough of it, and adver-
tise.

Cycia

:lamen

If you want to try your luck with
Cyclamen, the very best time to begin is
right now; that is if you make a side
line out of. You can purchase the finest
kind of small stock ready to respond to
good treatment. If you have a well venti-
lated house, where it is easy to maintain
a rather moist atmosphere, you shouldn't
have any difficulty in growing on fair
plants, for which you have plenty of call
next November. Provide just enougTi
shade to prevent wilting, and during hot
days spray several times. Make use of a
good porous soil with plenty of drainage,
and keep the soil fairly moist all of the
time, yet this should not be mistaken for
soaking wet. You can grow Cyclamen,
Cinerarias and Primulas in the same house
nicely from the end of June on up to the
end of September, and quite a number of
successful men do it, but all of them have
to be watched. That holds good with any-
thing. However, you can't grow success-
fully a little batch of Cyclamen by itself,
with nothing else in the house; you lack
a growing atmosphere.

Darwin Tulips

It. may not be considered quite season-
able to talks about Darwins now, and yet
it is, for those who haven't ordered what
will be wanted for next Winter and
Spring should do so, or look over what
has been ordered and add some more. To
my mind, for the average retail grower,
there is most money in Darwins from
- April on up to the last flower is cut out-

doors in May. Lot the specialist bring
in his flowers during February and March
and pay him what he may ask, there is
bound to be more or less loss connected
with the early forcing. You can't get
away from it, but to bring them into
flower from April on is an easy matter,
and you should arrange it so that you
have a constant supply on hand from that
time on. Darwins gain in popularity from
year to year, and as cut flowers there
are no other Tulips to be compared with
them. You can grow them in deep flats,
pots or bulb pans, in frames and outdoors,
a-d right now is the time to order a good
supply of bulbs to be used next Winter.
Figure on what you will need for Easter
week and other weeks following. The price
of bulbs has come down and there isn't
any chance for the average retail grower
to overload himself. With just a little
pushing he ca:n dispose of not only the
flowers but a lot of bulbs during Fall.
You can't recommend anything better for
outdoor planting.

Late Gladioli

From the middle of June up to the
first week of July is a good time to plant
Gladioli for late Fall flowering. By so
doing you will, to some extent, avoid the
period when the market is full of flowers,
which often cause poor returns. For
late planting, for that matter for any
planting, of Gladiolus bulbs, you want a
deeply cultivated soil; that is by far more
important than how much manure there
is in the soil. Work it over deeply and

giant not loss than 4in. below the surface.
y so doing, and keeping the soil culti-
vated, youi will not only retain moisture
but keep the soil cool during the next ten
weeks, which are bound to be hot ones.
No matter how fine your bulbs, if planted
in heavy soil which has been plowed shal-
low, and the bulbs are planted just below
the surface, you can't expect much. Even
small bulbs planted deeply, and in soil
where the roots have a chance to go down,
will flower, and if you can cut fair spikes
during October and up to time of frost
you will find good use for them.

June Reminders

Did you set aside a few Myosotis and
double Sweet Alyssum ? Every retail
grower needs them during Winter to cut
from. Still time to plant out Cleveland
Cherries and Hydrangeas. One of the
things yoU' can't get too many of is Eng-
lish Ivy, small stock planted out now in
the field will make a nice growth by next
October. Have you all the Stevia you
want? Well rooted cuttings planted now
will be plenty large enough for benching
or potting up next September. How about
the perennials? Why not sow some seed
now? Plant cold storage Lilium specio-
sum now for Fall flowering; start in pots
and bench later on. The sooner you get
through with planting out your 'Mums the
better for you and the plants as well.
For extra early use, say November flower-
ing, sow Cinerarias by the middle of this
month. Plant enough Asparagus Sprengeri
and Boston ferns for next Winter's re-
quirements.

"Florists' Problems"

This is a booklet issued occasionally by
the Wild Bros. Nursery Co., Sarcoxie, Mo.,
in the interest of "all us florists." As size
goes it is only a little booklet, 4in.x6in.,
printed in good sized type and containing
13 pages of reading, but these 13 pages
are simply "chock full" with matter of
highest interest to the trade. The num-
ber under review is of date May, 1921,
and the various articles it contains have
been most closely selected when not orig-
inal— the majority of the articles, we take"
it, are original.

.; The opening article headed "1921 Will
Reward Fighters," speaks of the various
methods whereby business can be con-
served and enlarged. It concludes, "Busi-
ness will be good only if we make it so;
1921 will reward the fighters." Another
article - is captioned, "The Public Will
Buy,'" and it goes on to show the neces-
sary steps the florists must take to bring
this about. "The future success of the
florist business lies mostly in making
more customers."

"Quote the Price" — this is a straight
out and out argument for the mention
of prices in the flower shops and win-
dow displays. "I know a man whom I
doubt ever bought flowers a half dozen
times in his life until recently; why, sim-
ply because when he came to a florist's
window and looked in he didn't know
whether he was going to pay $3 per doz.
for Roses or ?33. He didn't want to go in
and ask the price for fear it would be
way above his means and then he would
come out feeling like a piker." This class
exists by the tens of thousands. It is not
at all necessary that all prices be quoted
in the window display, but certainly two
or three, particularly of those flowers in
season, surely should be.

"Mother's Day Preparations" takes up
a page and a half and gives information
as to where ready made publicity adver-
tising may be obtained. A good article
is that entitled "Storage Windows vs.
Sales Windows," where contrast is drawn
to the window which has been decorated
simply for the purpose of making a dis-
l)lay or that one which has been decorated
■ in the endeavor to make the passerby step
in and purchase.

Other very good articles are also to be
found in this little museum of treasures,
a pertinent one being, "Acknowledge F.
T. D. Orders," to which we would like to

add, by all means asknowledge each and
every order with the necessary accom-
panying data, showing your customer that
you are on "the job.

We were so greatly interested in "Flo-
rists' Problems" that we wrote Wild Bros.
Nursery Co. asking them what the publi-
cation of "Florists' Problems" had done
in the way of assisting them in their busi-
ness, suggesting that the publication of
their experiments by The Exchange
would be helpful to our readers. Their
reply covers so much detail and goes into
■ the~""subjVct 'so tlioroughly" tHat" we are ac-
cepting their permission to publish part
or all of it by using the entire letter, ex-
cept the first and last paragraphs, which
are immaterial.

We trust our readers will scan what fol-
lows carefully and that those who are in-
terested will write to Wild Bros. Nur-
series for copies of "Florists' Problems."
It will be noticed that although these gen-
tlemen are interested mainly in Peony
growing at wholesale, their little maga-
zine covers the field of commercial florist
work most ably.
Editor The Florists' Exchange:

Of course we appreciate your favorable
opinion of "Florists' Problems." You are
free to quote anything you choose from
it.

"Florists' Problems" goes to the florist
trade as the matter in it would indicate.
Three years ago we decided to try it and
have issued it at irregular intervals since.
It was started to help solve the florists'
problems. We wanted some way of pass-
ing on some of our ideas, in the hope
that they might be of some help to oth-
ers. In this publication we are free to
take up any subject we wish to discuss.

This publication is not issued solely to
sell Peonies to our customers. Much, if
not all, of the matter is applicable to
flowers in general. Of course, the only
way we can get back the cost is in the
sale of our goods. But if the florist can
increase his sales in general he has more
chance to use our goods with profit. The
only way we can hope to hold his trade
is if he makes a profit on our goods. If
he can build up his sales in all lines, it
has served its purpose. So if we want
to talk flowers we do not wholesale, we
feel free to do so.

The article which refers to our firm
and others supplying dealer helps is to
call this source of supply to any who may

not have noticed it elsewhere. This is
another case where the only benefit to the
wholesale plant or flower grower can come
from the retailer increasing his business.
Any recommendations we make are solely
because we believe the article has merit
for its particular purpose. One florist may
use a high priced service, another a
medium priced, and both with profit. As
we do not insert advertising we are free
to recommend anything we wish. We in-
tend taking up other helps in the future.

As is usual with house magazines,, it is
impossible to tell how much business is
directly due to this publication, or for that
matter whether we get any business we
would not otherwise get. As long as we
can keep our selling cost down to a reason-
able figure we are willing to take a chance
that some of our customers find it of in-
terest and, we hope, helpful. We would
like to get it out on regular publication
dates, but there are two main difficulties
which we believe lead to the discontinu-
ance of many house magazines.

The first difliculty is the editorial work.
You realize this better than the average
business man. We have been doing our edi-
torial work. We are not professional writers
and we find some difficulty in getting out
even so small a publication along with our
other work, which must be out on time. It is
not always possible for the members of
the firm to keep up the editorial work,
and we imagine some magazines have
been discontinued because an editor could
not be secured or retained.

The next difficulty is the cost. Small
editions, as you know, are proportionately
high in price. As this goes to florists in
our trade territory the edition is neces-
sarily too small to keep the price down.
That is one reason we have not attempted
to issue on a regular publication date.
We do not know that it would not in-
crease the selling cost too much.

We are unable to give any information
on such a publication for the retailer to
distribute to his customers. Judging by
our experience, many retailers would find
that the number on their mailing list
would make the price too high, even if
they have the time or inclination for the
editorial work. And we believe it would
be difficult to get up a syndicate publica-
tion of general appeal. The great differ-
ence in the lines of stock carried would
require articles of too general a nature.
We have only seen two syndicate maga-

zines, and we do not know whether they
are being used now. In one case we
believe even some of the large town flo-
rists would have had difficulty furnishing
some of the stock mentioned. We only
know of one magazine published to order
for a retailer to distribute to his cus-
tomers. It was discontinued during the
war and we understand is not being is-
sued now.

All we can say is that each man will
have to be his own judge as to whether
he can issue a house magazine. And if
he does, he should not expect immediate
returns tracable directly to it. If he
secures such at once then he is lucky.
We believe it would be profitable for the
retailer, provided he can afford the cost.
But we believe some who have issued such
could give more definite information.

Rooting Rambler Rose Cuttings

Kindly describe the best method of root-
ing soft wood cuttings of Dorothy Perkins
and other Rambler Roses.

— Cuttings are best inserted in a mild
hotbed in late Summer, as they have a
start over Spring rooted plants.

However, if you have the cuttings, you
will lose nothing by utilizing them. Cut-
tings should not be too soft and, if with
a heel, are apt to root more freely. Root
them in sand as you would Carnation
cuttings, but if kept close and moist and
shaded from hot sun the foliage will keep
fresh, thereby aiding quick rooting.

Pot up as soon as ready and plant out
later. They will not make very large
plants this season.

A Rose's Epitaph

Oh, tawny Lilies, bend and sway
Upon your slender stems in grief

For her whose fragrance fell away
Twixt broken stalk and faded leaf.

Oh, thrushes, pipe sad harmonies.
And linnets, flute a wistful strain;

Blow very softly, vagrant breeze.
Drop very gently. Summer rain.

O'er one whose hour of joy was spent
Between the sunrise and the gloom.

Whose dower of beauty only meant

An hour of sweet, an hour of bloom!
— Charlotte Becker (N. Y. Sun).

Street Trees Killed by
Ice Cream Salt

City Trees Menaced by a

Thoughtless Practice

Which Should Be

Stopped

The iucreaslug popularity of
ice cream has caused many uew
companies to enter tlie field to
satisfy the demand. With new
"service stations" springing up
on all corners, another element
to destroy the shade trees of our
city streets has become more
pronounced. Unfortunately, the
effect is seldom realized by the
average person until the salt
water from the delivery wagon
has penetrated the gutter to the
roots of the tree, which it slowly
but surely hills. Nor does this
brine have to be deposited di-
rectly under the tree to kill it.
Where the grade of gutter falls
toward the tree from' the point
when the wagon stops to unload

ice cream, the continual drip-
pings of salt water find their
way aloug the gutter to a con-
siderable distance. I have seen
large sugar and Silver JIapIes in
off the sidewalk, but whose roots
e.xtended out under the walk to
the gutter, become sickly and
finally die from the effect of ice
cream salt deposited in the gut-
ter 100ft. away from the trees,
but draining in their direction.

Thus we pay for our cooling
refreshment and sacrifice the
trees that give us shade and cool
our brow gratis.

Nurserymen should warn their
customers not to permit the ice
cream wagon to stop where the
drippings will destroy nearby
street trees. City foresters will
do well to protect shade trees
from this practice by having the
vehicles stop where the drippings
may enter a culvert or inlet, or
insist on water-tight receptacles
which may be drained at inter-
vals where the solution can do no
harm.

CHAPTER I

"To be or not to be?"

By Way of Introduction

IN BEGINNING a series of articles on the nursery
end of the florist's business, it may be well to
say in advance that the writer is the manager of
the nursery department of a florist's business in a
small town in New York State and will speak largely
from his own experience in conducting this branch of
the business.

As far as possible this series of articles will be
written as simply as possible, giving practical sug-
gestions ; often what might seem likely a very obvious
thing will be mentioned for the benefit of those who
may not have- had any experience in the handling of
nursery stock. As the idea in writing this series is
in the hope of helping those with no knowledge of the
business to establish a nursery department in their
own business it would not be well to here discuss the
theories and finer points.

Neither does the author want these articles to be
considered in any sense as a textbook, but rather as
a guide to ways and means. Any one desiring to ac-
quaint himself more fully with nursery methods, prop-
agation, etc., would do well to purchase some of the
fine books ollered by The Florists' Exchange, cover-
ing the subject, such as "The Nursery Manual," by
Bailey ; "Commercial Plant Propagation," or the ex-
cellent treatise on landscape work by Eobert Grid-
land. These will give a fine insight into principles,
while such a book as "Trees, Vines, Shrubs and
Plants" by Kirkegaard is invaluable as a work of ref-
erence. Additionally, excellent related material is
continually appearing in these columns.

If in the course of this series any question should
arise in the mind of the reader regarding any of the
points mentioned, Mr. Coon would deem it a pleasure
to personally answer all that might fall within his

"Should a Florist be a Nurseryman?" This is a
question that is often asked and not so easily an-
swered. While it would perhaps seem out of place
to think of such men as Mr. Penn or Mr. -Dorner as
nurserymen, still there are many examples in our
trade of specialists with a nursery sideline.

With the name of F. H. Pierson of Tarrytown,
N. Y., we invariably connect the highest attainment in
Eose growing, and yet one needs but to take a single
turn about his nursery to realize that he has been as
thoroughly successful in growing shrubs as he has
been In growing Roses. In the Middle West there is
that well-known firm of Holm & Olson, which success-
fully combines a landscape department with one of
the largest retail establishments in the country. Even
the seedsmen have discovered how to make nursery
stock a profitable addition to their business and among
the leaders of these there is the well-known firm of
Vaughan's Seed Store of Chicago and New York.

From this brief mention of familiar names we come
to that longer list of country florists who are profit-
ably combining the two branches of horticulture. A
seedsman, with a chain of stores, recently told the
writer that he had been selling shrubs for years be-
cause "the people demanded it and because when they
came to the store to buy a shrub they always bought
a good order of seeds." You can't very well get away
from the fact that, if you have the stock, there is no
trouble to sell it. Ask any big wholesale nursery-
man today about his stock and he will say, "Well, I
have a., fair stock of some things, but with the best
things there is a shortage." Are you, Mr. Florist,
going to rely on nurserymen with 'short stocks, or
are you going to plant a fair collection of those things
most in request, samples of others, and connect up
with a reliable nurseryman for your young stock, so
that you can fill most orders with promptness? There
is nothing that a customer likes better than to have

you say "Yes, surely we have it growing right here.
Would you like to come along and help dig it?" There
is a psychology about being able to see the stock grow-
ing you want that Is hard to discount.

There are a number of reasons why florists are
adding a nursery to their business. The first, as we
have suggested, is the actual demand by the public.
It is only natural for customers to expect a florist to
sell a shrub or two along with an order for some other
plants, because the public does not distinguish closely
the differences between the various lines of our allied
trades. We are all horticulturists and as such we
should provide everything that the name implies. This
demand of the public that the florist should handle
shrubs and trees is more pronounced in cities and
localities where there is no nursery, and a survey of
the situation shows that there are numberless such
places. Then, too, the demand for ornamental plant-
ings is increasing steadily in spite of the economic
conditions that are disturbing other industries.

Another reason why the florist is called upon to
supply nursery stock is that the public has become
weary in its dealings with the average "tree-peddler"
who, all too often, without knowledge of the first prin-
ciple of landscape requirements sells a bill of goods
and then washes his hands of the entire matter. The
purchaser of trees and shrubs wants some one to fall
back on in case of loss, some one whom he can ques-
tion as to care, etc. ; such a one is, furthermore, will-
ing to pay for this accommodation. The better class
customers of today with whom we have to deal don't
usually mind the cost — what they want is "Service."
The established florist, being well known and re-
spected, has an opportunity here that is of inestimable
value.

Don't start with the idea of cutting the tree agent's
prices, but with the idea of selling service and charg-
ing for it. As an actual fact, however, you can usu-
ally buy and sell a plant and make a neat profit and
even then undersell the tree agent. As .a rule the
prices these men charge are exorbitant 'and neces-
sarily so, as the "agent" gets 40 per cent sometimes,
and 10 per cent goes to the man who delivers. (You
will always note that the man who sells never de-
livers.) This leaves 50 per cent, or a fair retail price
for the firm handling the deal. With your business
right at home you make one profit and help your cus-
tomer in the bargain.

Oil as Fuel in Great Britain

One of the results of the coal strike has been a
tremendous stimulus in the use of oil as fuel. During
one week in May, four oil tank steamers arrived at
Swansea with sis miUlon gallons of oil from the Per-
sian Gulf and from America. Another steamer arrived
at .Swansea from Philadelphia with 2200 tons of
American oil pipe. Power stations for street railways,
flour mills, margarine factories, electric lighting
©lants, railway locomotives, large hotels, ferryboats,
edible oil refineries and scores of other enterprises
are converting their plants into oil burners and many
of them declare that they will not go back to coal.

A Visit to A Great Hospital in Washington

In the suburbs of Washington, D. C, away from the
noise or bustle of city traffic and amid rolling land
and timber, is a great hospital, the Walter Heed Gen-
eral Hospital.

To this institution, a company of approximately one
hundred persons were taken on June 2, after a visit
to the Arlington Rose Test Gardens. The hospital
which is largely devoted to the care of ex-soldiers of
the late war : men who escaped death but carry the
effect of wounds.

This hospital, complete in every respect in the
detail and eflnciency of modern surgery, has a sur-
prising number of additions in the way of one-story
wooden hospital wards and structures connected tvith
each other by enclose passageways so that in pass-
ing from the main brick buUding of this great war
hospital, no one need go out of doors. The structures
are built on rolling ground and cover some acres in
extent.

As we went through the wards which are clean,
light, and airy, the result of war's waste upon young
manhood was most impressively brought home to us.
If ever a truth was spoken, it was when General Will-
iam Tecumseh Sherman gave his opinion, "War is
Hell." On every side we met young men crippled :
armless, legless, footless, battered in face or head.
Young men by the score in cots attended by nurses
and, if ever there were angels from heaven upon
earth, ministering nurses are among them.

In this Walter Reed Hospital are a series of work
shops and gardens in which the effort is made to
give these broken young men some occupation that
they may be able to support themselves with work
that a crippled man can do. Work of various kinds,
metal, jewelry, knitting machines, etc.

The visit to this hospital was a revelation; that
such a place existed to help the broken human crea-
tures is realized by few. It speaks well for humanity
and enforces the immortal wisdom and need of "Peace
on Earth and good will to men."

Scatter Your Advertising Eggs

There is a good old adage about carrying your eggs
in more than one basket. Also another about keeping
more than one iron in the fire. Both of them consti-
tute good hard commonsense when applied to adver-
tising.

For, consider, what is the principal aim of pub-
licity? To sell something's an idea, a product, a
service? Yes, but that is not all. The sale must be
made to the largest possible number of customers
over the widest possible field — and that means play-
ing the same tune, or an appropriate variation of it,
on all of a number of instruments — or in the matter
of advertising, through a number of media.

Of course, in these days, no one is justified in
urging the careless, extravagant use of money. But,
at the same time, there are undoubtedly a good many
cases in which more is lost by ultra conservatism in
advertising than by excessive enthusiasm — assuming,
of course, that the publicity program is carried out
with care, good judgment and adequate cooperation
from the sales end.

It is well to roughly base one's advertising appro-
priation on the total receipts or turnover for the
year, but there should not be a too hard and fast
adherence to a definite limit. An opportunity may
suddenly appear for reaching a new group of pros-
pects, or of putting over a new and effective argu-
ment that never was dreamed of six months, a month,
even a week before. The expense may at first seem
unjustified but, on the other hand, it may also re-
sult in unexpected profits far above anything you
had expected and out of all proportion to the cost
of the special publicity.

Similarly, a new medium may come into sight in
which a test advertisement may warant a good-sized
display for the balance of the year. Or some special
event may take place in your locality upon which
you can hang a special newspaper feature display,
or the printing and mailing of several thousand cir-
culars.

In other words, the advertising program for any
year should be, yes must be, one of the most elastic
features of a business. It offers all the unexpected,
surprise possibilities of a "grab bag" or a "fish pond"
at a child's party — for while you cannot always be
sure of the returns to be secured from any particu-
lar investment, there is always the chance that a few
doUars spent at the right moment will pay better than
a 20 to 1 shot at the nearest race track. Besides,
while the speculative element may appeal to you,
you can enjoy also the satisfaction of linowing that
if you lose it has been in a good cause while, if you
wiu. you haven't taken a cent from anyone who
couldn't aiford it, but have legitimately helped your
business by giving more people an opportunity to
buy that which i^-ill give them pleasure.

But you cannot get any of these enjoyable and
beneficial results so long as you keep your publicity
pocketbook locked up or bound down to a definite,
miserly, predetermined minimum. Give yourself and
your business some elbow room; wave your arms —
in an advertising way of speaking — now and then;
reach out in all the directions you possibly can; and
put some eggs in each of a lot of baskets. Thus you'll
be able to count the largest number of chickens at
hatching time^

The Florist's Indebtedness to Nature

The following communication, taken from the pages
of the New York Tribune, is one of the most recent
protests against the carelessness, thoughtlessness or
out-and-out vandalism that threatens to exterminate
many of our most precious wild flowers in the vicinity
of our large cities — or, for that matter, wherever auto-
mobile loads of tourists go :

Spare the 'Wild Flowers

Miles of perfect roads run through the Eastern States,
and over these roads roll the tired thousands of the
cities in the ubiquitous automobile. Charmed by the
Dogwood, the Azalea, the Laurel and a myriad other
flowers that grace field and stream with their delicate
bloom, they do not hesitate to pick the blossoms, and,
returning from the day's run, express regret that their
bouquet is withered and useless.

They do not realize what harm they have done the
country by divesting it of its bloom; they do not un-
derstand that others would enjoy seeing the beautiful
riot of color that the wild flowers produce. The authori-
ties of Bear Mountain Park have hit upon the effective
scheme of placing signs throughout the reservation
bearing the inscription: "Do not pick wild flowers; let
others see them," and this is apparently very efEective.

One Sunday afternoon about three weeks ago I
counted 27 machines lined up along the Quak^ Hldge
Road, near Larchmont, whose occupants were scrambling
over a bank denuding it of the wild flowers growing
there. In the course of half an hour all that was left
was a bank scarred by footmarks and the crushed
remnants of what had been a delight to the eye.

It is not so much vandalism as it is a sheer lack of
realization of the wanton destruction of the country-
side that is caused by the wholesale picking of wild
flowers. C. BLACKBURN MILLER.

If, as Mr. Miller suggests, it is lack of realization
rather than vandalism that is responsible, there is an
effective weapon close at hand in the form of educa-
tional reminders. Signs, similar to those employed by
the Bear Moimtain authorities, may offend a few
sensitive eyes but, on the other hand, plentifully used
and strategically distributed, they will check many
a potential destroyer quicker than anything else. And
in the preparation and placing of such signboards,
who should play a leading part but the florists of a
community? Of course the garden clubs, civic asso-
ciations and other local bodies can and should co-
operate, but as the high priests of flower culture and
appreciation, the members of the trade shodld in-
augurate, promote and direct the campaign.

Why? WeU, partly to prove and justify the interest
in flowers that they are supposed to possess. Second-
ly, because by protecting the native wild flowers to
be seen and left growing, they will help create flower-
love in the public who will express that love in the
purchase of more plants and cut blooms raised for
that purpose. And, third, because organized florists
are in a position to work more effectively and get real
results more promptly than can any amateur organi-

Finally, the protection of all natural resources,
esthetic as well as utilitarian, is a patriotic duty — I
and where is the florist who would sidestep his re-
sponsibilities as an American?

"The Poppy of Flanders Field"

(The American Legion Emblem)

Thou gaudy flower of Flanders Field,

Immortalized by John McCrae;
Thy charms an inspiration yield

Where'er thy blossoms gaily sway.

In fields of grain a common weed.

Some fain ^vould put thee out the way;

But hearts you cheer in time of need
More than the honeyed words we say.

in evidence. Memorial Day

Bedecked in silk and common tin;

Whate'er your form, ye honored France
And all who helped her peace to ■win.

Bloom on, thou fairy gem of earth,
Tho' fleet as songbird on the wing;

Thy charms well justify thy birth;

Long may the laverock o'er thee sing.
ALEXANDER MacLELLAN.
June I, 192L

[In sending us the foregoing verses, Mr. MacLellan
comments as follows ; "We saw no natural Poppy flow-
ers in use on Memorial Day and only a few of the
artificial. Thousands would undoubtedly have been
used had they been available. Something should be
planned in advance for another year." "Hear ! hear !"
say we.

We might say also that (after consulting the dic-
tionary) we thought of offering a prize for the first
correct guess as to the meaning of the quaint sound-
ing word "laverock." To assist those who haven't a
"Webster" or a "Century" handy, we will state that
the term is an old one, common to certain Scotch or
English dialects and means lark. — Editor.]

Poppies Do Last

There seems to be a mistaken idea prevalent re-
garding the lasting qualities of Poppy flowers, the
general impression being that only a touch is needed
to cause the petals to drop when, as a matter of
fact, newly opened flowers, picked and put into
water without any unnecessary delay, will keep fresh
for several days ; in fact, they can be worn on the
person, standing as much shaking about as many other
flowers.

There is no reason why the natural flowers of Pop-
pies should not be worn on Memorial Day.

Alexandeb MacLeixan.

Most anyone will agree with the philosopher who
says he would "rather be a healthy hobo than a mil-
lionaire with a misery." But while we are about it,
why not be different and choose for our ambition a
third, compromising alternative? Let us set out, along ,
the road of economy, moderation and commonsense, |
to be millionaires — or near millionaires — with our full "
share of health besides!

The Spirit of the "Garden
Beautiful"

An Echo of the San Qucntin "Say it with Flow-
ers" Story That Tells of the Bond That Cements
Together All True Flower Lovers

X<^-

-isS^

[F ANY ONK aoubts tbe existcuce of a powerful
luul bciuititul bond of interest and sympathy be-
tween all true flower lovers, we think the foUow-
ag correspondence should serve to give them some
ew Impressions. The letters from which the ex-
racts are taken form a sequel to the unusual story
f tbe Sau Quentin prison "Garden Beautiful" which
,-as published in The Kxchanoe for April 30, page
035. It will be remembered that tbe account of the
arden was written by Pat Tyrone II, present gar-
ener there, and sent to us by Mrs. E. W. Lymbery,
ropi'ietor of the Bessie Boston Dahlia Farm. It is
Irs. Lymbery who again writes us in part as follows,
nd sends us a letter to her from "Gardener Tyrone,"
rom which the second collection of extracts are
aken:
Idilor The Florists' Exchange:

"I have waited the enclosed letter before acknowl-
dging your fine tribute to tbe Garden Beautiful. I
an't tell you bow happy The Exchange story made
ae and how I appreciated your most feeling introduc-
ion. It just reached my heart, as I felt it was writ-
en from your heart.

•T mailed my copy of The Exchange instantly to
'atrick Tyrone II, and went around feeling that I
lad lost something for a whole week.

"The mail after The Exchange went to San Quen-
in, I received a letter from Patrick Tyrone, telling
ae of his disappointment in not being free May 1, so

was glad I was unselfish. * * *

"There is so little I have time to do to make others
lappy, that my gift to San Quentin gives me more
ileasure than it does the recipients."

Writing from the environment of the "Garden Beau-
iful," Patrick Tyrone II wrote to Mrs. Lymbery,
inder date of May 20, as follows :
'Dear Mrs. Lymbery :

"It has been nearly two weeks now since the copy of
Dhe Florists' Exchange came and yet I have not
vritten you one line in acknowledgment. There are
;everal reasons for this but here is the principal rea-
lon ; I thought I would wait until I had plenty of time
md freedom of mind so that I might write you a
ong letter of appreciation. I am still waiting for the
;ime and mood.

"Before I say another word I must thank you for
:he box of splendid tubers you sent us. Those tubers
Neve pounced upon the moment they arrived by the
nan in charge of the Dahlia plots and before Captain
lad hardly finished looking them over they were
m their way to the propagation department where
:hey were catalogued and prepared for planting. This
fear every Dahlia exhibited at the shows, from the
3arden Beautiful, will have a tag attached giving the
aame of the Dahlia and the donor's name. Captain
iust handed me your letter in which you ask him to
idvise you if there are any more Dahlias needed. Now
[ will say this : if you have any more to spare that
would be suitable for front rows we could use five or
six. Of course we have saved a special place for
'Eookwood' and as you told me it is a rather low
growing Dahlia, it will go in the front row of the
plot that contains the 'Capt. Randolph.' About the
only compensation I will ever get for the three months
I still have to remain here, will be in watching 'Rook-
wood.' I am very much enthused with that Dahlia
from reading the description in your catalogue and I
am anticipating great pleasure in watching its de-
velopment and maturity in the Garden Beautiful.

"Just a word in closing regarding article in The
Florists' Exchange. I was surprised to see that it
was set up and run exactly as written, word for word.
When I saw that, I was sorry I had sent it ; I should
have given it more time and thought and then re-
written it. However it was only the background for
your delineation of the Garden Beautiful and it was
what you wrote the editor and what he said in intro-
ducing it that made the whole thing worth while.
Yes, I am glad I wrote it for it gave you the oppor-
tunity to boost the Garden Beautiful and you certainly
did so in language that was unmistakably sincere and
forceful. * • *

"To go back and take up that box of 'Bessie Boston'
Dahlias again : When 'Rookwood' arrives to keep
company with Elsie Oliver, Kitty Dunlap, J. W. Davis
and Shudow's Lavender, I guess we will be Indebted
to our wonderful friend 'Bessie Boston' for some of
the finest Dahlias the 'G. B.' has ever seen. It would
give the Captain a rare pleasure to have you visit the
'G. B.' this Summer and I know he would take per-

soual delight in showing you the progress your Dah-

you to come if you possibly can.

"Wishing you all that should be yours as a sister of
'Abou Ben Adhem,' I remain,

In the above sentences, and in other omitted para-
graphs from the letter, is expressed a real apprecia-
tion, a sense of gratitude that is all the more acute
because it grasps the spirit as well as the substance
of the interest Mrs. Lymbery has taken.

For our part we are mighty glad that she brought
the subject to our attention and we are frank to con-
fess our interest, too, and our sincere hopes for un-
limited success of all those in anyway associated with
the "Garden Beautiful." It is our thought that as
they are working together in a material way to
brighten the environments within San Quentin's walls,
so also are they destined to enrich and beautify in a
spiritual way the world outside and the lives and
souls of all who inhabit it anywhere.

Examining bulbs of Darwin Tulips which had been
in a bed fully exposed to the north, we found them
sound with increases ; other Darwins in a sunny, shel-
tered position facing the west and in light, dry soil
had disintegrated entirely. How comes?

Henry Weber

Henry Weber, a well-known florist of South Brook-
lyn, died Saturday at his home, 343 24th St., of throm-
bosis. He was in his 63d year. Mr. Weber had con-
ducted a florist business at 5th ave. and 24th st.
near Greenwood Cemetery for the past 40 years. He
was a member of the Brooklyn Saengerbund, the
Brooklyn Florists Association, the Brooklyn Quar-
tette Club, Gilbert Council, Royal Arcanum and the
Thistle Bowling Club. The funeral services were
held on Tuesday night, .Tune 7, by the Rev. Dr. Jacob
W. Loch, pastor of the Schermerhorn St. Lutheran
Church. The interment was at Greenwood Ceme-
tery. Mr. Weber is survived by a widow, Johanna
Reiman Weber, and a daughter, Mrs. H. G. Young.

Frank J. Ritzenthaler

Frank J. Ritzenthaler, junior partner of the Knoble
Bros. Co., passed away Sunday, June 5, at 4 p.m., his
death being caused by tuberculosis of the glands.
During the war he was connected with Co. G, 331st
Infantry, and saw service in France as training ser-
geant. He was a member of the American Legion.

He was a prominent figure in the Cleveland Flo-
rists Club, filling many positions of trust in it. He

Charles Johnson

Charles Johnson, seedsman, of Marietta, Pa., died
there last March 29. This information has only now-
reached our hands. Through the past years that
gentleman contributed several notable articles to the
columns of The Florists' Exchange ; he was a trench-
ant writer, spoke his mind freely, concealing noth-
ing, and for that reason some of his writings were
favorably received, others not so. Of Mr. Johnson's
exact relations to the seed trade we have never known
beyond the fact that he was a wholesaler, understood
the seed trade most thoroughly, and at one time
held an agency for one or more French firms ; also
that he traveled extensively throughout California,
often staying in that State for months at a time.

At 21 years of age Charles Johnson was dramatic
editor of the Philadelphia Sunday Mercury, now ex-
tinct, and since then has been a writer for many
other papers, expressing his views freely on political
and other questions, as well as on matters of seed
trade interest. He was the author of the Seed
Grower, a book which has enjoyed a wide circulation,
as we know, also of another, "The Seedsman's Assis-
tant," which, for certain reasons was not in favor
with the seed trade at large, because it was claimed
for it that it made public information which was a
matter of concern of the seed trade only.

On a card which was circulated in May, 1914, at
which time he was on the straight Republican ticket
for a representative in the State Legislature for the
Second Lancaster (Pa.) District, he gave the follow-
ing account: "Comes from fighting Quaker stock.
Two paternal great-grandfathers served under Wash-
ington ; his paternal grandfather, who was first cousin
to David Rittenhouse, the astronomer, fought in the
war of 1812 ; an uncle fought under Scott in Mexico ;
two uncles and nine first cousins fought in the Civil
War, in which he himself enlisted at the age of six-
teen. His maternal grandfather was an oflicer under
Napoleon the Great, and after Waterloo came to this
country with Joseph Bonaparte and settled in Lan-
caster. Through his mother, Charles Johnson is kin
to Simon Snyder, the first Pennsylvania-Dutch Gov-
ernor. John" G. Johnson, counselor of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and leader of the American Bar, is a
cousin, as is also his namesake, Charles Johnson, pres-
ent State Insurance Commissioner and Republican
leader in Montgomery county. He is married to Eliza-
beth, eldest daughter of the late Henry S. Musser,
lumber merchant at Marietta, who was prominent in
Republican party local affairs in his day."

The Florists* Exchange

Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists

By John Young, Secretary, 43 W. 18th St., N. Y.

The Washington Convention

President Eolaiid ana the Secretary were In Wash-
ington on Wednesday, June 1, when they met with the
advisory committee on the Trade Exhibition, Z. D.
Blacliistone, David Grillbortzer and Adolph E. Gude,
the latter acting for his father, Vice-President Adolph
Gude, who was unavoidably absent from the city. It
was found that all details in the arrangements for
the exhibition were being worked out smoothly, and
preparations were up to date in every respect. A
visit was made to the convention hall, where it was
found that plenty of space would be available to ac-
commodate all applicants for space. President Eoland
was glad to be assured on this point, as he had been a
little in doubt as to the hall's capacity.

Additions to the list of exhibitors are constant, and
the prospects are that the entire area as laid off on
the official plan will be taken up before the conven-
tion opens. The following exhibitors have made
space reservations within the past few days:

Taiyo Trading Co., New York City.

Horticulture Publishing Co., Boston, Mass

Cohen & Hiller, New York City

Kervan & Co., New York City

C. S. Ford Co., Philadelphia, Pa.

Poultry Feed Co., Chicago, III.

While in Washington the secretary was pleased to
meet Past Presidents Robert Craig and Theodore
Wirth, and others of our members who have been
prominent in the work of the society in the past
Judge Wm. F. Gude, our Washington representative
while quite busy with the duties of his new office'
found time, as usual, to escort the visitors to the
various public departments requiring their attention
thus saving much valuable time. In the afternoon
the gardens of Dr. Tan Fleet, at Bell Station, were
visited, and the doctor's work in Rose production
proved highly impressive. The new Roses there some
of them especially beautiful, should prove valuable
acquisitions to the list of commercial varieties It is
learned that these new Roses will be sent out through
the medium of the American Rose Society

Past Vice-President George W. Hess, superintendent
of the tnited State Botanical Garden, also devoted
much tune to the visitors, escorting them to various
places of interest horticulturally.

The Convention Program

The official program for the convention is now in
course of preparation, and will be completed for
mailing to members at least thirty days before the
opening date of the convention. Some interesting
addresses have already been arranged for, including
one by F J. Giblin of Utica, N. Y., on "Greenhouse
Heating tp to Date": one by L. D. Fernald of the
New York Post, on "Publicity for Florists" ; and one
by Prof. L. C. Corbett of the Bureau of Plant Indus-
try, L. s.. Department of Agriculture, Washington.
D. C., on "The Production of Florists' Stock with
Reference to Quarantine Order No. 37 "

Membership Dues

Bills for membership dues have been sent to all who
are in arrears, and it will facilitate the work of the
secretary's office very much if prompt remittances
are made, so that a favorable financial report may be
made at the proper time before the convention Re-
ceipts for cheques will not be sent to members unless
requests for same are made at time of remittance the
return of the cheque through the bank, properly en-
dorsed, being considered sufficient. Our Executive
Board believes that much clerical work, and not a lit-
tle printing and mailing expense, is saved by dispens-
ing with the formal receipt.

Department of Plant Registration

Public notice is hereby given that the following new
plants have been submitted for registration by the
society :

By Henry J. Doll, Wanskuck Greenhouses Provi-
dence, R. I.— Geranium Mrs. Henry J. Doll. A seed-
ling: parentage unknown. Strong grower; free and
early bloomer; zone in leaf very distinct. Height of
plant about ISin. ; color of flower, glowing scarlet-
size 2in. in diameter. Flowers single, 40 to 50 to a
cluster, five petals to a flower.

By E. H. Kunze. Newton. Kan.— Geranium E H
Kiinze. 1017 seedling: parentage unknown. Strong
grower, of medium height, very compact. Foliage
bright green: heavy from bottom up. Flowers bril-
liant rose pink, shading to white center; immense
trusses of double florets, many larger than a silver
dollar, each carrying from H to 17 petals. Prolific

bloomer, flower stalks forming at every or every other
Joint, quite often two from one joint at the same time.
.4 4in. pot plant has been seen to have 11 flower stalks
in full bloom and heavy bud at once.

Any person objecting to either of these registrations,
or to the use of either proposed name, is requested to
communicate with the secretary at once. Failing to
receive objections, registration will be made three
weeks from this date.

and have them discussed and elaborated upon bv
special committees after the meeting, and then go
before the various local societies for further discus-
sion: finally having the result of the Investigations
checked up by a firm of accountants who will de-
velop some simple forms for a uniform system o£
bookkeeping and cost finding for the grower's busi-
ness. L. C. V.

Plans covering the layout of the Trade Exhibition
in connection with the National Flower Show to be
held in Cleveland next Spring are nearly completed,
and copies of the finished plan will soon be ready for
mailing. Many inquiries are already coming to the
secretary's office in regard to trade space, as well as
to other features planned for this great show. It is
time now to plan for exhibits in the most important
classes in the competitive section of the show, of
which the one covering the Grand Capital Prize of
.^5000 Is most prominent. Anyone who has not al-
ready received a copy of the Preliminary Schedule
should write to the secretary for one. It may be said
that the committee will be grateful for the promise
of even a small exhibit. Every grower within safe
shipping distance of Cleveland could do something
in the way of an exhibit, looking not so much for
personal distinction as for an exposition of florists'
products which should be a credit to the industry.

Although the list of guarantors for the show was
completed some time ago, the following additional
subscriptions have been received, making the total
$20,6.32.

Whitthuhn's Flower Shop, Cleveland, 0 5100.00

A. Washburn Sons, Bloomington, 111 100.00

Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh, Pa 200.00

Slogan: "Every Member Get a Member."
Goal; To Double the Membership in 90 days.

Dear Fellow Members :

Personal letters have been mailed to each of you.
This is a sort of "follow up" reminder that a certain
duty has been assigned to you to perform for our
beloved society, as well as for your fellow craftsmen.

We sincerely hope you have already secured the
one new member in our "every member get a member"
canvass and we hope, too, that you will not stop at
that, for remember, we have a few weak brothers who
will lay down on the job. Then, too, a few are so
situated that they cannot make good. So in order to
make up for any deficiency in our campaign, just put
in a few extra ones.

We have just lots of "live wires." Come get into
that class and we will reach our goal easily.

Ohio District N. F. G. A. (

Plans are being laid to entertain a large part of
Ohio's 600 florists in Columbus on June 21 when the
flrst annual meeting of the Ohio District of the Na-
tional Flower Growers Association will be held.

This will be a brass tacks business meeting, with
all hot air and generalities eliminated. The topic of
the meeting will be a discussion of "Cost Systems for
the Grower and Grower Retailer."

George Asmus has promised to come on from Chi-
cago and talk on the subject of "Merchandising and
Cost Systems for the Retail Grower." Men who know,
say that Mr. Asmus is probably the only florist in the
country who has his books regularly audited once a
month by an expert accountant. He will illustrate
his talk with charts and forms that can be used by
the average grower who ias to do his own bookkeep-
ing.

Jlr. Asmus will bring with him to illustrate his
talk a number of lantern slides showing the adver-
tisements used by the Chicago florists in their com-
munity advertising.

Another speaker will talk on the subject of "Cost
Systems for the Grower." This man will take up the
subject of costs for the growing end of the business.

It is the association's plan to take these lectures

I NOTE with much interest "Thoughts on the
Pansy," by Alexander MacLellau, in your issue
of May 21. I most heartily agree with his view-
point on improvement in size and otherwise by Ameri-
can specialists. However, I thmk that the" builder
of a strain of Pansies should select his types in a
mixture — not so much from his own ideals, but mamlv
from the composite choice of the hundreds of Pansy
enthusiasts who see his flowers ; and where com-
posite selections are so made by the public, he can
make no mistake in adapting them into his mixture,
regardless of his own opinion ; for who has a better
right than the buyer to constructively criticize your
Pansies?

Early in our experience, and years before we
thought of producing seed for commercial purposes,
we discovered that we couldn't give away Pansy
plants with small flowers, while we found It extremely"
easy to sell plants with fine large, showy blooms at
.fl per dozen. We. therefore, adopted the plan of
keeping for seed the very plants that our customers
were most anxious to buy.

You mention in your footnote the very great su-
periority of named Scotch varieties, but while we
grew them for years, and some French strains that
we liked better. I can assure you that Scotch Pan-
sies were never to be found in our dollar baskets, be-
cause of deficient size.

We found most foreign grown strains with a large'
percentage of very small blooms, and always a few
that were good, and these we introduced into otir own
family. We found Scotch Pansies and some other
fine types late bloomers, and inclined to the habit
of making a large plant before blooming.

I realize that there are different viewpoints about
Pansies, and am quite willing to agree that Scotch'
Pansies, an<} some other fancy strains in the hands
of a professional gardener, and for home cultiva-
tion, can be made a great success, but the average
American grower with the average methods of culti-
vation would be greatly disappointed with them.

A good type of Pansy plant for the market is one
that is small and stocky, and able to produce its
first bloom early in the season and of good commer-
cial size. A big fiower on a small plant is a big win-
ner in the market. A large plant with a small fiower
is worth little, if anything at all. WTien you get an
Initial bloom with a spread equal to the diameter of
the plant you have a market product worth while.

The European ideal of a Pansy bed is a mass of ■
uniform color. The American wants a riot of color'
with the bright colors predominating. American taste
cannot be better illustrated than to mention the
great conclave of the Imperial Council of the Mystic
Shrine at Portland last Summer. At this convention
there were 8.5 military bands, and more than So
mareliiug patrol companies from all parts of North .
America, and yet in all that gorgeous array there ]
were no two bands uniformed alike, nor any two pa- '
trols garbed alike, nor was there any band: costume
like the patrol it represented. , i i.

A reporter of a daily paper at a loss to better
describe this wonderful display at the grand review,
compared this colorful effect to that of our Pansy
fields, in the height of bloom at that time.

In conclusion let me say that Mr. MacLellan tells
the truth when he says that a seed grower must:
work after he has developed his strain, for it will?
surely slip back unless he does. i

[The foregoing is from E. J. Steele of Steele's I
Pansy Gardens. Portland, Ore., originators of Masto- '
don Pansies. and one of the largest -\merican sources '
for Pansy seed. These growers, ever since they started
in to sell seed, have been trying out the various
strains of Pansy seed from all parts of the world.] _

Fritz Bahr this week says that while waiting for a :
bite this Summer you cannot do better than to invent
a really perfect greenljouse sprayer. It will also be '
timely, again, wliile waiting for a bite, to plan for
that active Fall and Winter trade which the majority
of the prophets gladden our hearts by telling us is
shortly to be here.

New Black Rose Nearly Perfect

Tom E. Bevan, county tax assessor, is almost within
reaching distance of the Government's prize of $1000
for the production of a black Rose.

The specimens now in bloom in Bevan's home here
are far in advance of any of Burbank's previous
achievements in that direction, it is claimed.

In the first bursting buds they are a deep, dusky
purple blending in black. In richness they surpass the
velvet of any oriental bloom and grow blacker the
more they mature.

— The above is a news clipping from Marysville,
Calif. We have heard of black Roses before, but this
is the first we have heard of the Government's offer
of $1000 for such a freak.

We are asking, what's the use of it?

Flowers and Business Enterprise

The Old Colony Memorial, published in Plymouth
(Mass.) is not a fiorist paper, but in the following
paragraph, published under the title of a "Handsome
Floral Display," it makes some comments to which
we can all enthusiastically subscribe:

"The window boxes of the Plymouth National Bank
show what could be done if more business places
would follow that example and use the same method
of decorations in addition to the flags and bunting
which will be so much in evidence this Summer. Many
stores cannot do this, but wherever it is possible to
be done it would be well worth while doing. By the
tourist the sight of these window boxes with their
bright display of flowers will long be remembered, and
they will recall with pleasure the enterprise of the
store or office which they decorate."

A Star to Hitch Your Business Wagon To

"To do the ri&ht thing- at the rlg-ht time. In the right
way; to do some thljigs better than they were ever done
before; to eliminate errors; to know both sides of the
question; to be courteous; to be an example; to wort
for love of the work; to anticipate requirements; to
develop resources; to recognize no Impediments; to mas-
ter circumstances; to act from reason rather than rule;
to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection."

The above comprehensive and inspiring creed is
"The Marshall Field Idea" — a big program for a big
concern. Perhaps, indeed, it is so big that it tends to
awe the average small business man into thinking
that it is beyond him, that it sets an ideal too high for
him to aim at.

No such thing — or, as my old aunt used to say as
the acme of derisive scoffing, "Cat's foot !" In other
words, no worthy ideal is too far off to be chosen as
any man's aim- or any business idea. The nobler the
cause the more worthwhile the struggle.

Analyze the Marshall Field idea, then ; apply its
principles to your opportunities and lines of eft'ort:
achieve in your sphere of influence and service no less
success and deserved recognition than the great Chi-
cago house has won in its wide field.

You can do it. Sure, .vou can.

stated that all were grateful for the opportunity he
had secured for them of going through this big In-
stitution and seeing what is being done for the wel-
fare of our boys.

Annual Meetingr Re-election of Officers

■With so many things still to be done, It was agreed
that the reports of the secretary and treasurer and
of the committees be referred to the executive com-
mittee. All of these will be published later In the
handbook for the information of the members. Then
came the election. It was suggested that a nominating
committee be appointed to make up a slate for adop-
tion by the society, but William F. Gude moved that
the present Incumbents of the various otHces be re-
elected. This was carried through, the present slate
being as follows:

President Robert Pyle, Vice-President F. L. Atkins,
Treasurer C. H. Totty and Secretary J. C. Wister.
The re-elected members of the executive committee
are W. E. Pierson, Robert Simpson and J. H. Dunlop,
all of whom are to serve for a period of three years.
The officers serve but one year.

A New Rose Show Garden

Mr. Pyle told the assemblage of the Rose show gar-
den now under way in Potomac Park, that would en-
able the thousands of visitors to the National Capital
annually to see what can be done with Roses. This
garden will be independent of the Rose test gardens
at Arlington, he said. The show garden is intended
to exemplify what can be done in other cities and
towns throughout the United States.

"If we can have a garden that will show the actual
use of Roses," he remarked, "it will be an example
that can be copied in other cities and, through it, the
love of Roses will radiate into the smaller centers."

The speaker also told of the proposed trip to Port-
land, Ore., next year, his remarks arousing consider-
able interest. The details of this trip will be pub-
lished later.

Flowers Aid Sick Soldiers

Prof. Lumsden, on behalf of the officers and at-
taches of the hospital, welcomed the visitors, and told
of the benefits of flowers in such institutions. He
paid tribute to the blossoms that do so much in bring-
ing about the recovery of patients after the medical
profession has done its part. He stated that Colonel
Glennan is very enthusiastic in the matter of the
use of flowers and this enthusiasm has made possible
a great deal of work done at the hospital.

Each of the visitors was presented with a handlist
of trees and shrubs, native and exotic, including the
coniferfe, grown in the arboretum, with an appendix
of the native and migratory birds frequenting the
grounds. The pamphlet is dedicated to the colonel
and was prepared under the direction of Prof. Lums-
den. A great deal of work is being done on the flower
beds on the grounds and a sunken garden is in the
course of preparation.

Bureau of Plant Industry and Rosarians

Prof. L. C. Corbett, of the Bureau of Plant Indus-
try, declared that one of the annual pleasures of the
Department men is the visit made by the rosarians
of the country to the Arlington gardens.

"While we are attempting to maintain in connection
with the work of the Department, a test garden in
cooperation with the Rose growers of the country, I
believe the work which the Department is doing that
is most worth while for the rosarians, is the creative
work which Dr. Van Fleet is carrying on at Bell.
Those of you who are familiar with the long list of
varieties he has already contributed to the Rose col-
lection of America, and who know the work that he
is carrying on and his constant endeavor to improve
upon what he has already created, wiU be glad, I am
sure, to know that we have been able to increase his
facilities and to place him and his work under a little
more congenial circumstances than he has enjoyed
in the past.

"This work, as you know, is for the purpose of
contributing something which will reach every home
in the United States. We hope through the work
which Dr. Van Fleet is carrying on, to create Roses
which will be adapted to the great interior of the
United States where the Rugosa type is now the only
one growing.

Dr. Corbett as a Prophet

"I think I may be a prophet to the extent of say-
ing that I have great faith that Dr. Van Fleet will
accomplish the thing which he proposes and, if he
lives to do that, he will have made a great contribu-
tion, not only to American horticulture, but to every
home in America.

"I am glad to have the rosarians come to the De-
partment; we do not do a great deal toward main-
taining a show place, but we hope through the efforts
of investigators, to add something of constructive
value to the work of the commercial as well as ama-
teur rosarians of the country."

In Conclusion

Secretary John C. Wister extended an invitation to
all of the rosarians to visit his offices at 606 Finance
Building when In Philadelphia.

Dr. D. N. Shoemaker of the Tacoma Park Horti-
cultural Club, told of the work of that society la
holding periodic public exhibitions. He extended an
invitation to the visitors to Inspect the Rose show that
day at the Tacoma Park Public Library.

Other speakers included William F. Gude, J. Horace
McFarland, who spoke of the annual year books, and
Miss Carrie Harrison, who gave a very amusing re-
cital of her experiences in trying to find her way
around town to reach the various places on the itine-
rary. She laughingly scored those in charge of the
events for having failed to provide competent guides.
The thanks of the society, however, are due to Wm. F.
Gude and his local committee who plaimed the trip
to the hospital.

Bulb Chatter

{Concluded, from page 1349)

exceptions, due to special causes. Holland bulbs forced
in England as well as ever they have done. This fact
at once demonstrates that whatever the cause of
green tip short stem, etc., it was not the fault of the
bulbs as they left Holland.

Tbe Views of a Noted Forcer

George Shawyer of Lowe & Shawyer, TJxbridge,
England, possibly the largest bulb forcers and cer-
tainly one of the most uptodate and scientific com-
mercial concerns in the world, in the absence of posi-
tive proof, to the contrary is disposed to doubt the
^'iew that the mischief was caused through bad condi-
tions while on the steamers. The warm weather we
had here (in the U. S.) during September and October
might, he thinks, have affected the bulbs en route, but
he assumes the steamers carrying the cargoes adopted
the usual precautions applicable to such goods. His
suspicion is that after the bulbs were received here
and potted or boxed, absence of rain or other water-
ing, checked development.

Some fifteen years ago. when the Fall was unusually
dry, vast quantities of bulbs of all kinds planted in the
public parks in London either proved blind or other-
wise bad, but Mr. Shawyer had no trouble with any
of the stock they forced. He has observed similar
behavior of bulbs planted on the dry side of a house,
others on the moist side being quite normal.

Dryness a Danger

Here we have a hint that may count for something.
All bulb forcers know that if bulbs get frozen before
they are rooted trouble is certain; dryness is another
factor to guard against. Did those who buried their
bulbs outdoors or stored them in special sheds keep the
bulbs watered during the dry warm Fall of last
season?

Avoid New Pots

Then again, the question of pots, boxes and soil

arise. Experienced forcers of Hyacinths are specially-
chary of using new pots. A Swiss florist, friend writ-
ing awhile back, stated that he had had a splendid
season with all bulbs excepting blue Hyacinths. These,
for some reason had, despite the use of old pots,
proved poor. This reference to old pots may cause
some who use large numbers of bulb pans, to express
a little scepticism. I am therefore taking the liberty
of quoting the Holland correspondent of The Horticul-
tural Advertiser. His remarks were prompted through
an inquiry as to the undesirability of new pots.

Hints from a Hollander

"The best bulbs," he says, "will fail if the most
exact attention has not been paid to unpacking, pots,
earth, laying in a pit, etc.

The first thing the forcer has to do after receiving the
hulhs is to unpack immediately. Frequently one is
inclined to leave the bulbs in the boxes until one has
time for potting. But it is not only necessary to take
the bulbs out of the boxes, but they must also be
taken out of the paper bags and other materials in
which they were packed. When this has been done, the
bulbs must be spread out thinly in an airy, not too
dry place, where the temperature varies between eOdeg-.
to 70deg. F. In about two or three days the bulbs will
be sufficiently dry for potting, but if one has no time
to do this so quickly, the bulbs must be put in a cooler
place, where the temperature does not rise higher
than 60deg. F. A high temperature will delay the de-
velopment of the new flower and, of course, that Is of
great harm to the forcer. The first days after unpack-
ing also attention must be given that the temperature
does not rise higher than 7 0deg. F., and afterward till
potting not higher than 60deg. F. A common practice Is
to spread the bulbs in an empty greenhouse, but as
may be learned from above, this is a bad system.

When to Pot

Bulbs for early forcing must be potted in the first
week of September. For forcing In the second part
of January and after that date, potting in October will
give good results. It is a wise man who orders his
bulbs or early forcing as soon as he can. Then the
bulb exporter has opportunity to prepare the bulbs In
the best way and pay attention to all things necessary
for really good bulbs for early forcing.

The soil for potting is an important thing. This
should never have been previously used for the same
purpose. Many failures of Tulips are caused by using
soil in which bulbs have already been grown. The best
soil for our purpose is not manured, pure mould or old
leaf mould. Manure in the soil Is not necessary, as the
bulbs have sufficient food to develop flowers and leaves.
Fresh manure is always hurtful.

Caution Against Using New^ Pots

For pots we only use those in which other plants have
been grown one or two seasons, especially for Hyacinths.
We have seen very bad results with Hyacinths
which were planted in new pots, though these had been
laid two months in water before using. By inspection
the roots of the Hyacinths were brown and burnt. In
some cases no flower at all was developed and In,
others one of third quality.

Need for Cleanliness

Tulips are often grown in boxes, but we cannot suf-
ficiently emphasize the need to clean these thoroughly.
The best way to do this is just after forcing. We have
seen failures in large batches of Tulips only as result
of uncleaned boxes. Therefore take particular care In
this matter.

After potting the bulbs, the boxes, pans or pots
must be laid in a pit. This pit may be four to six
inches, but not deeper. A wet place is not suitable for
making a pit because wetness causes delay in develop-
ment. If the place is too dry, the regular rooting of
the bulbs is hindered. A shaded position is better than
a sunny, especially for early forcing.

For covering the boxes and pots one must use pure
soil, if possible, pure sand. If all these things have
been done the whole pit is readily kept properly moist.
To make it possible to get out the boxes or pots in Win-
ter, one may cover the pit with leaves, reeds or peat
dust.

If attention is given to the above hints, a good de-
velopment of roots, leaves and flowers is made certain.

The foregoing is assuredly good advice and should
not be forgotten when HoUand bulbs arrive next Fall.

Any Truth in This ?

The following appeared in a recent issue of The
Horticultural Advertiser: What class of goods is re-
ferred to. and who is the American Association repre-
sentative?

"We gather from L' Horticulture that Americans
who have been hastening to take advantage of the
opportunity of buying from Germany have been hav-
ing trouble.

"It appears that the wily Boche inserts in the con-
tract the word "freibleibend." and then invoices the
goods at a big rise on contract price. The American
Association representative in Germany recommends
care in placing orders, and the making use of his serv-
ices on the spot in seeing that goods are up to sample.
Our advice would be still more simple."

Nursery Department |

The Small Nursery

(Cniiliniicd fruin pai/e 1359)

TUe re;ukT of tULs article will liiiow iustantly
wlietlier or not these eouditious apply to his locality ;
If they do, lie will be wise to aualyze his territory
with the idea of meeting the nursery demand. A
good way to do this is to take a map of your locality
and go carofull.\- over just what percentage of it con-
sists of well-to-ilo prospects; not necessarily the num-
ber of wealtliy people, but that other and better class
of prospects — the prosperous home owner. Also take
a day or several evenings to drive around in your
ear to see how many places there are right within a
short distance of you which are greatly in need of
planting. You will probably be surprised at the re-
sult of your investigations, and if you think favor-
ably of adding this profitable nursery branch to your
business you should make plans at once as it is best
to do all possible in the Summer and Fall when many
phases of your florist business are at a standstill.

One of the objections to this nursery department
which might come to your mind at this point will be
as to how far it conflicts with your florist business.
There is no denying that if all of the nursery work
came in the Spring time there would be some objec-
tion on this score. It is an acknowledged fact, how-
ever that Fall planting is as generally satisfactory
as Spring planting, and by stressing this point in all
of your advertising you can find much to do in the
Fall. Then, too, in the Summer, you will have ample
opportunity for soliciting business and getting the
nursery Into shape.

Fritz Bahr In his "Week's Work" has been hammer-
ing at this same idea for some time. As far back as
1906 the late William Scott wrote an article for his
"Manual," urging florists to take up nursery work, if
only in a small way. So take the time now to think
over this proposition and get in the game before your
competitor. Others are making money with a small
nursery, why shouldn't you?

In the nest article In this series, which will appear
shortly In this "Nursery Department," we will try to
tell something of the requirements for success.

resumption of trade in plants between Holland and
the I'nited States. The emissary in this case is Pro-
fessor Dr. Hitzema Bos, ex-chief of the Phytopatho-
logical Service at Wageningen, who, though forced to
resign from this service because he had attained the
oUiclal age limit of 70, is nevertheless active, vigor-
ous and well equipped to do his best for the exporting
interests of Holland and the importing interests of
America.

He will leave Holland on the S. S. Ryndam, on June
14, and his compatriots express the hope that he may
he met l)y a committee of representative horticultur-
ists with whom he may cooperate in his efforts to
persuade the F. H. B. to reconsider some of its de-
cisions. Dr. Bos is not a stranger to our shores as
he was sent here in 1S98 by the Dutch government,
at that time for the purpose of checking the impor-
tation into Holland of certain plants harboring the
San Jose scale and threatening to introduce the pest
Into the Low Countries.

In view of the recent unsuccessful pilgrimage of
three Belgian gentlemen who came to these shores
and Interviewed Dr. Jlarlatt for a purpose similar
to tliat of Dr. Bos, we cannot prevent a feeling of
pessimism as to the results lie may attain, but we
welcome him cordially, wish him well, and offer lilm
any assistance that Thk Ex;change can render.

I June Work in the Nursery

While thoughts are now naturally turned toward
the annual convention of nurserymen, to be held in
Chicago, June 22 to 24, it Is fitting that in our cal-
endar of operations for June, we urge attendance at
this meeting by all wlio can possibly make the trip.
Much mutual good results in many ways. These get
together meetings afford an opportunity to make and
renew business friends, compare notes on many sub-
jects and contribute to the manifold benefits which
such an organization holds for those engaged in the
nursery business. Don't "let George do it," but help
personally to promote the general welfare of the trade.
Before attending convention, why not finish stock-
taking? Of course, most of the growing season is
still ahead so that sizes, If recorded now, must be es-
timated, but quantities could be obtained, and per-
haps be of use for prospective buyers who may make
inquiries at the convention. When taking stock is a
good time to clean out all undesirable plants ; to be on
the lookout for insect pests and jot down plants which
should be sprayed.

Layering and Inarching may start this month just
as soon as growth permits ; also cuttings made of trees
and shrubs.

Gather seeds of shrubs like June Berry, Amelan-
chier, and Eed-berried Elder, Samiucus puiens, which
ripen this month ; also seed of herbaceous perennials.
Sow seed of Red and Silver Maple, Red Birch and
Elm, which recently ripened. Keep the cultivators
going, for aside from Its beneficial effects upon the
plants, a weedless, tidy nursery makes a favorable
impression upon Summer visitors. If you have potted
Roses, shrubs, perennials ; in fact, any plants which
may be transplanted with safety in Summer, adver-
tise them. An advertisement now in these columns
announcing that you expect to attend the convention
and featuring a list of your specialties may bring in-
quiries to you at the meeting.

Rhododendron, Azalea and
Iris Exhibition

Boston, June 4 and 5

Holland Scientist Seeks Modification of Qu. 37

We learn that Dutch horticultural Interests are
planning a new endeavor to have the terms of Quar-
antine 37 lightened so as to permit at least a partial

BEAUTIFUL weather and a fair attendance fa-
vored the Rhododendron, Azalea and Iris Exhibi-
tion of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
which was held at Horticultural Hall on June 4 and 5.
The number of exhibitors could well have been much
larger without over-crowding the large hall. Compe-
tition in the Iris classes was not, what might be
called keen, and in the classes for Rhododendrons and
Azaleas there was practically no competition at all.
Also, the quality of the Iris exhibits was, with few
exceptions, not much above mediocre and the number
of varieties staged did not look Imposing.

The Rhododendron and Azalea classes had only
three competitors but the blooms shown, were of fine
quality and sufficient variety to make the show
interesting. The exhibit from the Walter Hunne-
well estate, T. D. Hatfield, superintendent, almost
filled two large tables. It contained a noble collec-
tion of the most meritorious hybrids, for which this
place is known all over the country. There were
over 73 choice varieties, giving the Rhododendron
enthusiast ample occasion and inducement to devote
some time in admiring the wonderfully varied tints
and forms.

T. C. Thurlow's Sons, Inc., were first with twelve
varieties as follows: Purpureum elegans, Catawbiense
grandiflora, Album elegans, Everestianum, Caracta-
cus, F. L. Ames, Album grandifiorum, Mrs. C. S. Sar-
gent, Parson's grandifiorum, E. S. Rand, Memoir,
Chas. Dickens.

Faulkner Farm, Wm. A. Craig, supt., won second
prize with : Old Port, Dellcatlsslma, C. A. Sargent,
Mrs. Mllner, Chas. Dickens, Caraetaeus, Catawbiense
Var., Album elegans, Everestianum, Mrs. C. S. Sar-
gent, Parson's Grandlflorum, Catawbiense rosea su-
perba.

In the class for six varieties, Faulkner Farm took
first with: Catawbiense rosea superba, Everestianum,
Old Port, Mrs. C. S. Sargent, Dellcatissima, H. S.
Sargent.

Faulkner Farm had a most beautiful display of
twelve varieties in the class for hardy Azaleas, tak-
ing first prize. T. C. Thurlow's Sons, Inc., also showed
some fine Azaleas of the following sorts : Sang de
Gambrnges, Gloria Mundi, Cocclnea speciosa, Dell-
catissima, Unique, Exquisite.

In the class of Iris competing for the Hillcrest Gar-
dens silver cup and calling for arrangement for effect,
there were five entries. With the exception of one,
the exhibits were insignificant, to say the least. It
is not easy to imagine why more effort was not put
Into this competition. The winner of the cup was
Irlsthorpe Gardens (Mrs. Homer Gage), who put up,
in a handle basket, fifty wonderful spikes of Pallida
Dalmatica in combination with Asparagus plumosus
and Kalmia foliage. This basket was one o£ the main
attractions of the exhibition, appealing to the ladies
especially. The silver cup prize, donated by the Hill-
crest Gardens and offered by the American Iris So-
ciety, must be won three times by the same exhibitor
before becoming his property.

The bronze medal prize, also offered by the Ameri-
can Iris Society, for 24 vases, not less than 12 varie-
ties, was won by the Glen Road Iris Gardens (Grace
Sturtevant), with Iris King, Prosper Langler, Mon-

slgnor. La Neige, Wild Rose, Cateiina, White Knight,
Genghis Khan, Nirvana, Katrinka, Afterglow, On-
noris, Kuysna, Arnols, Sindjkhat, Empire, Java, Rosa-
lind, Sherwin Wright, Pastel, Queen Alexandra,
Tamerlane, Whifi'eiiiioof.

Irlsthorpe Gardens put up a general display of 50
varieties, as did also T. C. Thurlow's Sons, Inc., who
had among others the following sorts: Goliath, Pal-
lida australls. Princess Victoria Louise, Fairy, Gra-
chus, Edith, 11. Cramer, Loreley, John Bright, Hector,
Her Majesty, Odoratisslma, Perfection.

J. K. Alexander exhibited 50 vases with about as
many varieties, it was a very showy group, not for
competition.

In the class for 12 vases, not less than 6 varieties,
Mrs. C. W. Willis was first with Mary Garden, Queen
Alexandra, Mithras, Nlebeluugen, Whiffenpoof, Vic-
torlne, Mrs. Geo. Darius, Mrs. Horace Darius, Van
Geertl, Her Majesty, Madame Pacqultte.

Irlsthorpe Gardens won second prize. Both these
exhibits were very good.

The class for Tree or Moutan Peonies brought out
no exhibits.

T. C. Thurlow's Sons, Inc., had a very creditable
display of about 50 Peony seedlings, among which
Cherry HIU, double dark red, and Black Prince, single
dark red, were most conspicuous.

Faulkner Farm filled a whole table with a grand
assortment of hardy herbaceous flowers. There were
about 30 varieties of the most select and showy gar-
den flowers, such as one would expect on a well kept
gentleman's estate. This group was much admired
and kept one man busy answering questions from
visitors.

A seedling Iris, Francis Bennett, from E. M.
Dunphe, showed excellent form and fine color. It was
solid color, light purple with a pink sheen.

Anisostlchus eapreolata (Blgnonla capreolata)
Cross Vine, is a plant from the sunny South. This
is said to be the first time that it has been fiowered
in the Northern States. The plant was under discus-
sion in The Floeists' Exchange some time back. The
fiowers are rather handsome with their short, yellow
and brown trumpets. The plant was shown by H. H.
Richardson of Brookline, Mass.

T. C. Thurlow's Sons, Inc., showed their seedling
Rhododendron W. P. Rich, which was awarded the
Mass. Hort. Society's silver medal in 1919. It is a
most distinctive flower; rosy lavender petals with
green and red punctatlons on yellow ground.

The Arnold Arboretum exhibited Rhododendron
Holmleaense (R. discolor X hybrid Catawbiense),
a large flowered, new hybrid, light pink with dark pink
throat. Also the new hybrid Azalea or Rhododendron
Auneliesafe (Rhododendron arborescens X R. calendu-
laceum).

During the afternoon of each exhibition day, T. D.
Hatfield delivered, to good sized audiences, a lecture
on the history and culture of Rhododendrons and
Azaleas.

A Large Fraternity. — "Yes," said the principal of a young
ladies' seminary to the proud parent, "you ought to be very
happy, my dear sir, to be the father of so large a family, all the
members of which appear to be so devoted to one another."
"Large family! Devoted!" gasped tho old gentleman in amaze-
ment. "What on earth do you mean, ma'am?" "Why, yes, in-
deed," said the principal, beaming through her glasses. "No
fewer than eleven of Estelle's brothers have been here this
term to take her out, and she tells me she expects the tall

Suggestions re New Tariff Rates

Itepublicau leaders in Congress and
members of the Ways and Means Com-
mittee are searching about for an accept-
able scheme to replace the one contem-
plated by the Longworth resolution, de-
signed to give immediate effect to rates in
the proposed new tariff law upon its be-
ing reported to the House by the cOTn-
mittee, following the refusal of the Ke-
publican caucus to back the Longworth
measure. ^ ,

Congi-essman Little of Kansas has in-
troduced a resolution authorizing the
President to place new tariff rates and
duties in effect when a new bill is re-
ported to the House, and the Secretary of
the Treasury certifies that such rates are
absolutely necessary to prevent dumping
of foreign goods in our market to defeat
the proposed legislation. The period of
the operation of these rates would be
limited to 90 days. .

A number of other suggestions have
been offered, or are in the making, includ-
ing a proposal that coincident with the
reporting of the tariff bill, a resolution
be brought in making the new rates effec-
tive upon the adoption of that resolution,
while another measure as proposed would
make the new rates operative upon the
adoption of the tariff bill by the House.

Tases

The repeal of all transportation and
sales taxes, except those on distilled
spirits, tobacco, oleomargarine, drugs and
products of child labor; elimination of the
excess profits tax and the 10 per cent tax
on corporations, and the amendment of
the income and inheritance taxes, js pro-
vided for in revenue measures which have
been introduced in Congress by Repre-
sentative Kellar of Minnesota.

Mr. Kellar would amend the income tax
so as to distinguish between earned and
unearned income, defining the former as
consisting of income derived from per-
sonal services or from business personally
conducted, while the latter would be de-
fined as income derived from rents, in-
terest, dividends, and any source other
than the labor, skill or business or indus-
try personally conducted, of the recipient.
■ The tax on unearned income, together with
the surtaxes, would be retained, but the
tax on earned income would be cut in two.
An increase in the inheritance taxes is
also provided for.

In another bill, the Congressman pro-
vides for a tax of one per cent on land
values in excess of $10,000, after exempt-
ing buildings, improvements and the ma-
jority of farms. This bill aims to tax
monopoly holders of natural resources,
valuable sites in cities and the holding
of land out of use.

The Kellar measures are sponsored by
a number of organizations, among them
the Committee of Manufacturers and Mer-
chants on Federal Taxation, a national
association of which Otto Cullman of
Chicago is president. It is claimed by
Congressman Kellar that his measures, to-
gether with customs and other miscel-
faneous revenues, would raise funds suffi-
cient to meet the Government budget and,
in addition provide a sinking fund which
would pay off the Government debt in 30
years.

International Parcel Post

The first step toward the expansion of
the international parcel post service has
been taken by the Post Office Department
by the completion of an agreement with
Prance, whereby the limits of size on
parcels to and from that country are in-
creased to a maximum of 4ft. in any di-
rection, with not more than two cubic feet
content.

It is planned to enter into agreements
with practically all foreign coimtries, de-
clared Postmaster General Hays, for in-
creasing the weight of parcel post pack-
ages to a limit of 22 pounds. This matter
was discussed at the international postal
conference at Madrid last Winter, and
tentative agreements were made with the
Latin-American countries which, however,
have not yet been put into effect.

Domestic Parcel Post

The Post Office Department is also mak-
iiili; an exhaustive inquiry into the do-
mestic parcel post service, Mr. Hays an-
nounced, not only with a view to remedy-
ing the evils of excessive breakage and

loss and delayed payment of indemnities,
but for the purpose of providing the de-
partment, for the first time since the
inauguration of the service, with exact
information as to its exact cost. Two
committees are now at work on this prob-
lem, one a joint Congressional and de-
partmental committee, the other consist-
ing of officials of the department.

It is realized in the department that the
loss by theft and breakage is excessive,
and steps will be taken to remedj' the
situation. The study of costs has been
undertaken to enable the department to
determine whether it would be profitable
to undertake delivery service tor retail
stores. This service is already in opera-
tion in St. Paul, where the entire deliver-
ies of a number of stores are handled by
the post office, and the belief is that, if
not profitable, the work is not actually
being done at a loss. It has been sug-
gested that the department make a drive
for this business, which would enable mer-
chants to do away entirely with their de-
livery services, maintained at great ex-
pense. No decision as to this will be
made until the Postmaster General is in
possession of accurate figures showing just
what the cost of delivery of such parcels
would be.

It was pointed out by Mr. Hays that if
the merchants deposit their packages in
their local post office, the department can-
not refuse to handle the business and
make delivery at the first-zone rate. If
the accountants report that the business
can be conducted without loss, however,
and the department determines to under-
take the task of making retail deliveries,
a pick-up service would be inaugurated,
similar to that of commercial delivery
services, which would relieve the merchant
of all work in connection with the de-
livery of purchases, other than the wrap-
ping and addressing of the packages.

Mileage

The issuance of 2000 mile tickets, at
2.%c. per mile, is provided for in a bill
which has been introduced in Congress by
Representative Jacoway of Arkansas.
Such tickets would be good on any road,
for any distance, and would carry all
first class privileges of baggage, etc.
Should railroad rates be reduced, it is
provided that the miles should be reduced
accordingly. E. A. D.

Washington, D. C.

Business is good in Washington; that
is, the stores are receiving lots of or-
ders, but the filling of them is another
thing. Stock is scarce; far more so than
it sometimes is during the Winter and
the retailers are often at a loss to know
what to put into a wreath, a cluster or
a decoration. The wholesaler cleans up
early and, like the ancient Arab, just
folds up his tent and goes to the ball
game. It's a merry life if you don't
weaken.

Of course, the present week will bring
about a change for with it has come typi-
cal Summer weather. If the thermometer
continues to rise and the sun to shine,
there'll be plenty of stuff for decorations
for weddings of late June brides. How-
ever, last week everything sold at sight
for there was a scarcity of everything.
In the last Washington newsletter there
was the statement that June weddings
and commencements would bring plenty
of orders. That statement, according to
letailers and wholesalers, has come true
with interest.

The trouble is that Peonies have long
since made their adieu. A very few Ram-
bler Roses are to be had, whereas in pre-
vious years, they could be cut by the cart-
load and no one would know that the
bushes had been molested at all. All other
outdoor stock was a disappointment and
this has produced a demand for indoor
stock that simply cannot be met. Carna-
tions are growing poorer, and American
Beauty, for which there is a good de-
mand, is poor as well as scarce. Russell
Roses are still the best flowers to be had
and the price bears out this assertion but
they are worth the quotations.

News Notes

The committee chairmen have been
selected by the Florists Club of Washing-
ton for the coming S. A. F. and 0. H.
convention and, from now on, the secre-
tary will be kept busy sending out postal
card notices of committee meetings. The
chairmen are to select their own commit-
tee members. The club held its June
meeting in the rooms of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce in the Homer

Building. The evening was devoted al-
most entirely to a general discussion of
the convention activities.

Among the resolutions adopted were
several extending the thanks of the local
florists to Mrs. Charles J. Bell, of Twin
Oaks; Dr. W. VanFleet of Bell, Md., and
Colonel James D. Glennan and Prof.
David Lumsden of Walter Reed Hospital,
for the courtesies shown by them on the
occasion of the meeting here on June 2
of the American Rose Society. Several of
the members present, who participated in
the meeting of the Rose Society told of
the events of that day. This year's meet-
ing was declared by all speakers to have
been the best in the history of the so-
ciety.

The Collector of Internal Revenue for
this district has been sending notices to
taxpayers who are paying on the quarterly
basis that the second installment of the
income and excess profits taxes are due on
or before June 15. Upon failure to pay
an installment on time, it is pointed out,
all the tax remaining due, becomes due
and payable on notice and demand from
the collector. The penalty for failure to
pay the installment on time is an addition-
al assessment of five per cent of the
amount due, plus interest at the rate of
one per cent a month from the time it
becomes due. Taxpayers, on or before
Junes 15, may pay the remainder of the
tax due in full and are being urged to do
so wherever possible.

Throughout the country, there are 391,-
947 taxpayers whose net income for the
year was over $5000 who selected the in-
stallment plan, and 1,195,107 whose in-
come was $5000 or less did the same
thing. The number of corporations pay-
ing on the installment plan is 80,424.

Florists in the District of Columbia
would be compelled to close their stores on
one day of the week under the terms of
a bill which has been introduced in the
Senate by Senator Myers of Montana.

The Myers' measure would prohibit the
selling of any merchandise between mid-
night of Saturday and midnight of Sun-
day, and would make it unlawful to keep
open or conduct any store, shop, factory
or other place of business between those
hours. Only certain occupations, which
are considered essential to the well being
of the citizens, such as public utilities,
restaurants, garages, etc., are exempted
from this provision. Any person violating
any of the provisions of the measure
would be guilty of a misdemeanor and, for
each offense, could be fined from $10 to
$500.

The provisions of the law would not
apply to any person who belongs to, or
affiliates with, any religious denomination
or sect that observes or advocates ob-
serving some other day of the week than
Sunday as a day of rest and abstention
from secular avocations, if such person
does, in fact, so observe regularly some
other day of the week than Sunday.

E. A. D.

A flower parade will be held on one
day during the height of Dahlia season,
which will serve as a prelude or opening
advertisement for the big week which will
be held during the first or second -week
of November when Chrysanthemums will
be in full crop. The show will be held in
either the Lyric or Lehmann's Hall; a
premium list for this affair will be issued
within a short time. There will be prizes
offered for decorated pleasure cars and
business vehicles in flower parade, the
amounts to be announced later.

The committee will endeavor to make
the show self supporting by sale of ad-
mission tickets and display space to the
trade.

In addition to the Executive Commit-
tee who has general charge of the affair,
there were a number of sub-committees
appointed to arrange the details of each
affair.

General Neiv^s

Robert Halliday continues to im-
prove and will soon have the bandages
removed from his shoulder and arm and
then will be able to carry his arm in a
sling. Don't be surprised if "Smiling
Uncle Bob" comes to pay you a visit
within a short time. Here's our best
wishes.

Richard Vincent, Jr., is seen about town
very often these days, being one of the
members of^ United States Court Grand
Jury. He is very enthusiastic over the
coming Fall exhibition of the American
Dahlia Society of which he has affection-
ately been referred to as its father and
rightly so, because largely through his
untiring efforts ; this organization came
into being.

John Simon, Jr., who has for many
years conducted a retail flower store at
1636 Eastern ave., has disposed of his
interest there to Frank Adams, formerly
with the local branch of S. S. Pennock Co.,
and will in the future devote his entire
time to growing plants and cut flowers
at his greenhouses on Radnor ave., Govans,
which he purchased a few years ago from
J. E. Bartell. Wir. F. Ekas.

Trade Notes

June 7. — There is very little to re-
port on market conditions which are about
as usual for this season of the year. Oth-
er than some graduation gifts and funeral
work, there is very little business. The
absence of Peonies for Commencement
work is keenly felt and other stock, such
as long stemmed Roses and Carnations
of good quality are more in demand.
There is only a reasonable supply of this
class of stock; in fact. Carnations appear
to be rather under the quality usually
available at this season. Roses continue
to hold up in quality and the demand is
absorbing the stock about as evenly as it
arrives.

There is a quantity of outdoor stock
such as Rambler sprays, Gaillardia, Fever-
few, Phlox and similar lines which meet
with a limited demand. There are also
a few Gladioli coming and they sell well,
but not sufficient for demand. Bedding
plant trade appears to be about over and
many of the growers who cater to this
class of trade are commenting on the
shortness of the season. On the whole
there is very little stock left over.

"Say it with Flowers" Week

The committee who have the above
affair in hand held a meeting on May 30
and while plans were not worked out in
detail, following is a general outline as
planned:

Newport (R.I.) Horticultural Society

We are in receipt of the premium list
of the June exhibition, to be held June
28, at Music Hall, Thames st. Copies of
the schedule may be obtained from A. W.
Potter, Jr., secretary of the society, Har-
rison ave., Newport, R. I. The schedule
is quite a comprehensive one, running
heavily to Roses and Sweet Peas, but as
well including foliage and flowering plants,
fruits and vegetables. Additional to the
56 classes, which are open to all, there
are ten classes for amateur exhibits and
as well prizes for school children.

Paterson, N. J.

One of the social events of the season
was the wedding of Miss Eleanor Post,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Post of
Paterson, N. J., which took place June 3,
at their Summer home, Allenhurst, N. J.
The decorations were by Vescelius, florist,
Paterson, N. J.

The house was handsomely decorated
with American Beauty Roses, white
Peonies and Easter Lilies, palms and
Water Oak. There were 22 guest tables
decorated with centerpieces of lavender
Sweet Peas and Lily of the Valley. The
bridal table centerpiece consisted of Lily
of the Valley and lavender Centaureas.
The cliurch decorations were Water Oak,
palms, Easter Lilies and Peonies.

The bride carried a bouquet of Lily of
the Valley and white orchids; the maid of
honor lavender Centaureas; the four
bridesmaids' bouquets were of orchids.

Tlie wedding decoration was in charge
of Arthur G. Vescelius, manager for
Vescelius, florist.

Clinton, Mass. — Attilio E. Conti, who
recently purchased from Edward W.
Breed, former president of the Worcester
Horticultural Society, his greenhouse on
Prescott St., has been left $14,000 under
the terms of his uncle's will, who died on
April 29. The uncle resided in Italy,
where he, too, was a florist. Mr. Conti as
a young man had worked with his uncle,
and it was from him he acquired his horti-
cultural knowledge which made him for
years a valuable assistant to Mr. Breed,
and now well equips him for success in his
own business.

St Louis, Mo.

Warm, Suiuiium- woatlier is with iis to
stay, although it is sli^lttly cooler at time
of writing. The market shows the inUii-
ence of the weather. The month of June,
with its weddings and school closings,
virtually closes the season. Xow that the
growers have organized and there are
prospects of forming an allied trade as-
sociation, it is to be hoped that the ques-
tion of gluts, with its ruinous priees, and
then the demand with its exhorbitant
charges, and the question of over indul-
geuee in profits, wUl be discussed so that
the public will not charge the tlorist with
being hold-up men. This can be done in
a great measure by the growers them-
selves, by careful grading of every bloom
and seeing to it that their flowers are not
at any time sold below the cost of produc-
tion, neither allowing the retailer to be
carried away by excessive profits. If
flowers in general had not been sold so
ridiculously low just before Mother's Day,
the raise in prices would not have ap-
peared so great.

Publicity has helped much and the work
should keep up tliroughout the Summer
and help to encourage growing Summer
crops.

Notes

A severe hailstorm hit Highland,
111., and did considerable damage to the
greenhouse men there.

Tiie Publicity Committee held a meet-
ing last week and talked over the proposed
allied trade association.

The monthly meeting of the St. Louis
Florists Club took place on Thursday,
June 9, at W. J. Pilcher's greenhouses.

All the retailers are busy with wed-
dings these days. White Koses are in
demand pai'ticularly.

A new crop of hardy ferns is in and
is quoted at $■! per 1000.

George Kuchner, of Berning's Staff, is
sporting a new touring car.

Otto Bruening, of Olivette, Mo., is build-
ing another house this Summer.

John Studle is cutting some fairly good
Carnations for this time of the vear.

Indianapolis^ Ind.

state Florists Meeting

Held at the salesrooms of the Smith
& Young Co., June 7, a good crowd turned
out to hear Herman Junge's paper giving
the results of his investigations in com-
bating the Strawberry beetle, a pest that
has caused great damage to Pose grow-
ers.

President L. E. Hitz announced that the
poster contest, which he started in the
Madison schools, is completed and was
a great success. Over 300 posters were
displayed and over 500 people a day came
to see them while they were exhibited.
One hundred of these posters were shown
at the meeting. This display showed
w-hat can be done for publicity purposes
by a wideawake florist.

There will be no further meetings be-
fore September.

Do not forget the big all day picnic in
August. Every member is expected to
attend. A big time for everybody. Let's

Tommy Milton, speed king of the world

ket of flowers sent by his friends just as
highly as he did the some thirty thousand

There is always a place for flowers seem-

ingly under any and all conditions and
nothing else will supplant them.

There is a shortage of home grown
Glads and nearly all of the good ones are
being shipped in. The extremely hot
weather of the past few weeks has been
most diflicult on Roses and Carnations.
The quality is anything but what it should
be, and prices of covirse are in accord-
ance.

Memorial Day Better Than Ever

The business of this year for Me-
morial Day spread over three days as it
was, turned out to be equal, if not bet-
ter, than last year's large total. Warm
weather turning up at the last moment
transformed what had looked like a sell-
er's market into one for the buyers. Large
crops of Peonies were cut and were re-
tailed for as low as $2 a doz. They en-
joyed a brisk sale. Roses, Sweet Peas,
Carnations and other miscellaneous stock
were plentiful. Artificial stock was em-
ployed to some extent, wreaths of Mag-
nolia and Poppies enjoying a good de-
mand. The Poppies that were to have
been sold here by the American Legion
for the benefit of the French war orphans
failed to arrive in time. Florists reported
quite a demand for these and many were
worn on Memorial Day. The parade here
was the largest in years due to the fact
that it was augmented by world war vet-
erans;-interest in this great day thereby
being revived to some extent.

some of which have been of considerable
size. They had the contract for beautify-
ing Toledo Beach, the popular Lake Erie
Summer resort. Business for Memorial
Day exceeded all expectations, rxmning
ahead of last year.

Helen Patten has had some_ excellent
orders for wedding decorations and
funeral work has also had a good call at
her popular flower shop.

Otto Krueger did a very satisfactory
Memorial Day business. He bad many
orders for grave decorations and reports
a heavy demand for Geraniums and bed-
ding plants of all kinds.

The Western avenue Greenhouse is sell-
ing out the remainder of all Geraniums
and bedding stock in a ten cent cash and
carry sale.

William Krueger, local grower, sold out
completely for Memorial Day and is well
pleased w^ith the way in which the de-
mand for his products keeps up. He is
cutting some nice Roses these days.

Others who report a favorable Memo-
rial Day Demand are Metz and Bateman,
Harry Turvey, Feniger Flower Shops,
Scottwood Greenhouses, Helmer Flower
Shop and A. E. Warning. F. S.

Trade Satisfactory

The Memorial Day business con-
continued well intu the morning of that
day and satisfaction is expressed by all
us to the amount of business done and
cash taken in. Cut flowers sold out clean
as did pot plants. Even those not in bloom
many were sold from tlie suburban green-
houses, the Geraniums being favorite by
long odds for cemetery work. Fine weather
helped a lot also, and just at present the
greenhouses look ragged and bare. The
school and college commencements are now
in full swing and these will keep the cut
flower market well cleaned up for a week
ov two, so that one may reasonably ex-
pect good business at the present pre-
vailing prices which are somewhat below
last week's rates.

Taking the season's average, the florists
of this city have good reason to be sat-
isfied with the general run of business.
It is fairly certain our trade has main-
tained a level of prosperity that ought to
be very gratifying as good prices have
been maintained throughout, and they had
not a lot of high priced stock to sacri-
fice. As a rule, they bought close and
turned over their goods quickly, both in
cut flowers and accessories. Truly the
growers had high priced labor early in
the season as well as high priced coal, and
at one time during the Winter it looked
like hard sledding, but the great runs of
business at the special floral holidays and
the extra good prices maintained, helped
to make an average that should be satis-
factory. Now, with an easy labor mar-
ket and the fall in price of supplies, the
future prospects look good. However, we
cannot expect to get high prices at low
costs so that in order to increase the
use of flowers we must expect to adjust
retail prices to conditions as they arise.
In the past we make the mistake of mak-
ing the price too low and then on oc-
casion too high, which is poor business
policy; it makes us a fair target for pub-
lic criticism. S. B.

Memorial Day Generally Satisfac-
tory

The passing of Memorial Day
marks the last of the holidays for the
season and except for the Rose Festival
flurry we will now have to content our-
selves with the regular run of business.
Memorial Day history for 1921 has had
peculiarities all its own. It started out
with cold weather early in May so there
was not an outside Rose in sight, and we
were all willing to gamble that there
would be none. Six days before the 30th
■"he sun came out clear and warm and
stayed out. There was no stock available
from the outside Thursday, Friday or
Saturday, but Sunday the color was vis-
ible, the Peonies that had buds as hard
as Rose hips were showing color, and all
those with the prospective flowers from
the garden held off and waited until Mon-
day and then picked their own. None of
the shops had any great quantity of stock
left on their hands; iudeed, it is safe to
say that all could have sold considerably
more on Sunday and Monday. Taken all
in all, business was highly satisfactory.
Carnations in colors headed the list in
demand. Snapdragons held second place,
Roses being a trifle high for cemetery
flowers. Daisies and Statice, for which
there was such a large demand a year
ago, did not move at all. Prices were
about at last year's level. There was a
noticable absence of the usual lot of junk
in the stores, mainly on account of its com-
ing into bloom so late in the game, in
all probability. There was any amount
of stock offered during the last two days
of the rush.

The month of May proved a good one
for the trade and in many instances
brought reports of an increase over last
year. Bedding stock men say that it
has been a day and night job' to keep
ahead of orders, the great bidk of the
stock being already in the customers'
hands.

The Sweet Pea market is a trifle over-
stocked; this probably holds good with
all kinds of stock, but the yarm weather
will probably rush over the usual June
abundance of flowers.

Good Meeting Entertains S. A. F.

Speakers

On May 31 at the Imperial Hotel
about 35 members of the Oregon Florists
Club, including some of the out of town

members, enjoyed wliat was probably one
of the most instructive talks ever deliv-
ered 10 them. The S. A. F. membership
Squadron, consisting of J. F. Anunann
and H. V. Swenson, traveling in the in-
terests of the S. A. F., the F. T. D. and
all kindred organizations, are surely leav-
ing a lasting impression. The types of
men they arc shows why the S. A. F..has
so much good work to its credit in spite
of the small support it is receiving from
the country at large in the form of mem-
berships.

Although the local club has already or-
ganized its cooperative organization which^
is operating very smoothly, Mr. Anunann
and Mr. Swenson both spoke of the day
in the near future when every one will
contribute to the local funds in the cities,
a portion of which will then be devoted
to the National Advertising Fund. Mr.
Ammanu stated that he has met with won-
derful success all along the line, but that
the farther West he gets the more sur-
prised he is at the wideawake way in
which the floral business is handled. It
is quite a compliment to the local club
that, uninstructed, it has so closely fol-
lowed the ideas of the parent body in its
advertising programs.

A good substantial dinner furnished
the preliminaries, and put the crowd in
the proper, receptive state of mind. Af-
terward everybody went home with the
feeling that whatever has been done has
been done well and with such men at the
rudder as Mr. Ammann and others who
will say what can not be accomplished?
State Vice-president James Forbes and
all members present promised to fill Ore-
gon's membership quota so that the State
will be represented on the Board of Vice-
Directors. H. N.

Among the Growers

'Wm. R. Nicliolson, Framingham,
Mass,

"Variety is the spice of life" and
"Whatever you do, do it well" are two
sayings well exemplified in Wm. R..
Nicholson's life. Not many years ago it
was his ambition and delight to try out
every variety of Carnation that came
along and to grow the ones he found
worth while as well or better than any-
body else — and in the main he grew them
better. As the son and successor in busi-
ness of his grand old dad,' William Nichol-
son, he knew Carnations from the ground
up, so that it was easy for him to keep
up the reputation, of the establishment
which his father had established. When
he took over the place, some ten years
ago, little else but Carnations had been
given room, for Wm. Nicholson was one
of the pioneers in Carnation culture and
his Carnation houses were the object of
visitors from far and near, just as they
produced the prize winning exhibits at
every show.

But yoimg blood wants a change and
new worlds to conquer. So young Nichol-
son was soon experimenting with other
crops; as is his habit, slow at first and
feeling his way, always with the ambition
to produce goods of outstanding quality
which would, on that account, command a
premiimi in the market. First came a
venture in Chrysauthemimis, turning out
so well that the Nicholson Chrysanthe-
miuns acquired a countrywide reputation.
Chrysanthemums are still one of Mr.
Nicholson's strongholds at the present
day. House after house is grown of the
best varieties every year. Single and
Pompon Chrysanthemums especially are
given much attention and are bringing
great returns. Several valuable sports
have originated in the course of time.
The latest Yellow Frost, a sport from
Early Frost, is a notable acquisition, well
thought of by the trade and now being
introduced. All the new varieties from
the different raisers and growers are
given a thorough tryout every year and
the best are retained.

The reputation of Nicholson's Mignon-
ette is as good as ever, great care being
taken to perpetuate the strain by the care-
ful selection of seed. This is a crop where
Mr. Nicholson never had to be afraid of
successful competition. The size, style
and color of his spikes simply cannot be
approached. Just so with his jMyosotis.
His variety is bluer, taller, stronger and
more free flowering than any other, find-
ing eager buyers when Myosotis is a drug
on the market. Gypsophila elegans is aii

special attention to the dollar side of the business.
The book furnishes a list and description of the
more important varieties of Violets now grown
in America.
It compares the methods of ciilture, past and present.
The very important item of soil is thoroughly gone

into.
It treats on the construction of houses and frames,
providing a detailed statement in regard to the
points to be considered in the erection, heating
and ventilating of the house best adapted to the
needs of the Violet.
There is a chapter on water supply, followed by
one on propagating, selecting, cleaning and water-
ing the plants, planting, feeding, etc.
The all important matters of temperature and ven-
tilation receive attention.
There is a useful chapter on handling and marketing

the crop.
Every known disease and insect attacking the Violet

come in for their due share of consideration.
The final chapter deals with cost and profit.

McClenahan's Yellow Flower Dye

Was sold to my neighbor
florists for two years before
being offered to all tfie trade.

It was the continuous growth of local demand
that furnished a most satisfying endorsement
of the value of the DYE.

Here's How It Helps Out:

"/ want to tell you about your
Yellow Dye. We have used it on
Sweet Peas, Paperwhites, Roses and
Carnations, and it is fine. When yel-
low flowers are wanted for any color
scheme, if we have the Dye, we don't
worry, but use it on anything white
on hand. — Gray Floral Co., Chicka-
sha, Okla."

The Market

June 7. — The arrivals of all kinds
of staple flowers are about normal for the
season. The demand for these is rather
slow and prices are easy.

American Beauty Koses are in short
supply. Special grade blooms are bring-
ing 15o. to 40c. each; other grades are
bringing proportionate prices. In other
Roses, the quality in general is excellent
for the season, in fact, 10 years ago, it
would have amazed buyers to see in the
market at this time of the year such
Roses as can be bought now. Top grade
blooms in, general are selling all the way
from 3c. apiece for the old time Killarney,
up to 20c.; Crusader is realizing 30c.,
Hadley 35c. and Key 60c. each. No. 2
grade blooms are fetching $1 to $4 per
100.

Carnations are moving out rather slow-
ly at $2 to $3 for select grade, and for
choice Wards $4, with $1 to $1.50 for
culls and ordinaries.

Cattleyas are in rather short supply;
they are meeting with a fair demand at
40c. to $1 each. Lily of the Valley is
meeting Avith a moderate demand at $1
to §5 per 100. Lilies are selling rather
slowly at $12 to $15 per 100.

The supply of miscellaneous flowers is
large and increasing daily and covers a
number of varieties. The list includes
Autirrhinum at 15c. to 50c., JBouvardia
at 25c. to 50c., Calendula at 10c. to 25c.,
all per bunch. Yellow Daisies at $1 to
$3 per 100, Delphiniiun at 25c. to $1 per
bunch, Sweet Peas at 20c. to $1 per 100,
Gypsophila at 15c. to 25c., Sweet William
at 10c. to 15c., Coreopsis at 10c. to 15c.,
Gaillardia at 15c. to 25c., Foxglove at 15c.
to 25c., Oriental Poppies at 35c. to 50e.,
Pyrethrum at 10c. to 20c., all per bimch.
Cornflowers at 40c. to 50c. per 100. These
miscellaneous flowers are meeting with a
moderate demand. Callas are bringing
75c. to $2 per doz.

The supply of greens is quite adequate
to meet the present medium demand, and
they are selling at quoted prices.

Florists Club Meeting

The regular June meeting of the
club will be held on Monday, the 13th, at
the Engineering Society's Building, 25-33
W. 39th St., opening at 7.30 in the even-
ing, sharp.

The chairman of the exhibition com-
mittee requests all growers, especially
members of the club, to make an effort
toward a good exhibition of plants and
cut flowers for the wind-up meeting. There
are a great many growers who have ex-
cellent stock, but who do not give any
attention to such a matter. This is a re-
quest for every member to look around
his houses during this week and see if
there isn't something he could either bring
along to the meeting or send into I. Fight,
chairman of exhibition committee, care of
Roman J. Irwin, 43 W. ISth st., to reach
him not later than 5 p.m. on Monday
next, so as to be staged properly before
the meeting starts.

Essay and Xjecture Committee

The Essay and Lecture Committee
have secured the services of Dr. W. E
Bntton, Ph.D., State and Station Ento-
mologist, Connecticut Agri. Exp. Station,
New Haven, Conn. Dr. Britton, who is
well known throughout the country, will
illustrate his lecture with a large number
of lantern slides showing insect pests and
their operations, also fungous injuries.
Growers, particularly, should be highly
interested in what Dr. Britton has to say.
Growers, not club members, are cordially
invited.

News Items

We noted recently at J. S. Fenrich's a
line of Roses which, for the season, were
quite out of the ordinary on account of their
excellence. Good growing and cool wea-
ther probably combined to bring about
these desirable results. Among the va-
rieties noted were Crusader, Columbia,
Premier, Butterfly and Double White
Killarney. By the way, it would appear
of the later introductions in Roses that
Columbia and Butterfly have come to stay
awhile and, perhaps. Crusader may be
added to this list.

David Clarke's Sons, 2139-2141 Broad-
way, report that they have had a busy
May, having executed floral orders for
more May weddings than in any previous
year. June wedding decorations have al-
ready begun and it looks now as if there
was going to be a large amount of floral
work in that line;

A. Le Moult, 51 W. 28th st., has now
opened his wholesale department; the re-
tail department was opened at Easter
time. Mr. Le Moult is now decorator for
the Hotel Breslin.

Allied Trade Florists Association

A. M. Henshaw, president, supplies
the following;

Allied trade matters are the order
of the day, and activities in the work are
increasing.

At a recent meeting of the Wholesale
Protective Association, Piresident Traend-
ly impressed upon the wholesalers that it
was their duty to use their efforts to get
the growers who consign to them to join
the New York Flower Growers Associa-
tion. The flrst step toward membership
is a cheque for a semi-annual payment at
the rate of §2 per thousand sq. ft. of
ground space covered by glass. This is
a small assessment; about one-flfth of what
the western growers are turning in for
publicity. In all other lines of business
the producer carries the whole bu^rden
of advertising; in our case, all hands help.
The wholesalers and supply dealers are
100 per cent paid in with their assess-
ments. The retail fund is growing, and
while missionary work among the growers
has been sadly neglected, they are the one
class of our trade who should at once see
the benefits to be derived from advertis-
ing, and they ought to be 100 per cent
paid up.

Advertisements will appear in New
York and Brooklyn papers of June 9 and
10. Florists are asked to look for these
ads. Their opinions of the copy used
would be most helpful, and the president
of this association would be glad to re-
ceive such opinions, critical or otherwise.
The advertising committee has given a lot
of thought to the work in hand. Ads will
possibly be inserted once more during
June, then all effort will be concentrated
on the getting together of funds for a
consecutive campaign, beginning in the
Fall, when it is hoped that, with the ex-
ception of holiday times and periods of
extreme scarcity of flowers, the florists of
the Metropolitan District will talk to the
public about their wares every week. It
takes money to do this, but such money
will come back to the contributing indi-
vidual like the proverbial "Bread cast
upon the water," only with the difference
that the result is immediate and lasting
instead of "After many days." At this
time, when stock is plentiful and the de-
mand light, the effect of local advertising
will be easily apparent. Watch the result
this week and if you are not already
listed with the wideawake florists, send
in your cheque. Retailers who still hesi-
tate about the one-hali of one per cent
will be interviewed by the retail commit-
tee of the allied association, and it should
not take much argument to show them
that "'Advertising Does Pay."

Worcester, Mass.

June 6. — A terrific rainstorm on the
Sunday preceding Memorial Day cost the
florists of Worcester dearly by loss of
transient trade, although trade was very
heavy, the largest on record, for this day,
I believe. Many of the florists who plunged
heavily, had a large surplus on hand Tues-
day morning. There was a very strong
demand for Geraniums in bloom and
these cleaned up early at good prices. Pot
Roses, Hydrangeas, Spirrea and Sin. and
lOin. pans of Eosy Morn Petunias all
sold well with practically no surplus.
Every year the demand for plants is
growing larger with cut flowers just hold-
ing their own. Retail prices were very
reasonable.

In artificial designs the better class sold
well, but quite a few of the boys will
have a cellar full of the cheap grades, to
dust off for a year.

I note Albert M. Herr's remarks about
continuous work. Your correspondent
worked sixty hours at a stretch and ia
still very much alive, and he is no Spring
chicken at that.

Business is normal, a number of wed-
dings helping out.

The Market

June 7. — With the passing of the
llemorial Day trade, the market started
on the first lap of the mid-Summer period
of inactivity. Indications, however, are
that there will be good business through-
out the month. June weddings, and school
commencements are powerful factors in
the trade of this month. Funeral work,
like the poor, is with us always. It will
not be until after July 4 that there is any
perceptible falling off in the early Sum-
mer trade.

The cool weather that followed im-
mediately after the Memorial Day, re-
duced the supply of everything to a point
that if there was a heavy demand there
would not be enough stock in some lines
to meet it. The warm weather of the
week before last rushed the Rose and
Carnation crops to an earlier finish than
was looked for. There will be a big Sum-
mer crop of Roses with all the growers,
but the Carnations may be said to be
permanently off for the season.

The Peony crop is requiring more at-
tention at this time than anything else;
there is an abundance of them everywhere.
They are coming in so fast they cannot
be moved, and a large portion is going
into cold storage. There is also a lot
that hare been in storage for the past
ten days or more, that are coming out, un-
fortunately in poor condition; these are
a loss to the handlers. The supplies com-
ing in are not good; most of them re-
quire picking, grading and then bunching
again. This is a big job at most of the
wholesale houses.

The late frosts that caught the crops
in some sections w-hen in tight bud, soft-
ened them to an extent that they open
imperfectly and some not at all. In
picking them over all buds that feel soft
to the touch are discarded, only the hard
plump ones are retained. On the whole,
the Peony crop is the poorest that has
been handled in years and will undoubted-
ly be an unsatisfactory one for the grow-
ers.

Outside of Peonies and Roses, there is
not much of anything on the market.
Sweet Peas from greenhouses have passed;
the Southern Cape Jasmines are nearly all
gone. There are some Iris, Delphiniums,
Calendulas, CornflowerSj and a normal
supply of Easter and Calla Lilies. Gladi-
oli are increasing in supply and will soon
be a predominant feature on the market.
Orchids and Valley are much in demand
for weddings for which there is at all
times an available supply. Of Asparagus,
Adiantum and Smilax there is an ample
supply; it is the fancy fern situation that
needs watching. The storage crops are
opening up badly and there is not enough
of the new crop coming in as yet to meet
the heavy and continual demand there is
on this market for ferns. Gtood stock is
bringing as high as $6 a 1000.

General News

Frank Stuppy, St. Joseph, Mo.,
passed through the city last week on his
way home from the East, where he under-
went an operation one one of his eyes. He
only saw a few personal friends while
here.

Mayor Thompson gave a dinner on the
Municipal Pier, Monday, to all the vari-
ous departmental heads of the Pageant 9f
Progress Exposition. Geo. Asmus was in
attendance to represent the florists' in-
dustry.

John Risch, of the Weiland-Risch Co.,
states that many growers who planted
Premier some time ago are going back
to Mrs. Russell again. Mr. Risch is an
enthusiastic rosarian and places Russell
at the head of the list of commercial va-
rieties of the present time.

There is a move on foot to get together
a bowling team to represent the Chicago
; Florists Club at the S. A. F. convention
at Washington, Aug. 16, 17 and 18.

The Pfund Nursery Co., at Ehnhurst,

The annual meeting of the Tri-State
Florists Association is scheduled to be
held at Fargo, N. D., June 28 and 29, but
dates are subject to change. This asso-
ciation is composed of the trade in North
and South Dakota and jlinnesota.

The bedding out of Cannas and Ge-
ranimns in all the Chicago parks is well
under way. .The display this year prom-
ises to be more effective than ever.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Chicago Florists Club will be held at the
Hotel Randolph, Thursday evening, June
9. Matters of interest regarding the
Pageant of Progress exposition and the
meeting and exhibition of the Chrysanthe-
mum Society of America in November will
have full consideration.

The American Bulb Co. handled a car-
load of palms from Roy Wilcox Co.,
Montebello, Calif., for the Poehlmann
Bros. Co. and the Geo. Wittbold Co. The
plants came through in excellent condi-
tion.

Bob Newcomb, representing the Burling-
ton Willow Ware Shops, Burlington, la.,
reached the city Saturday and will remain
for a few days, when he will leave for
the Oklahoma and Texas State florists'
conventions.

Willard A. Kervan, of the Kervan Co.,
New York, spent several days in the city
last week, calling on the supply trade.
He expressed himself as being pleased
with the activities of the great Chicago
wholesale cut flower market.

Allan Humason is preparing to leave
the city for the Northwest, wath his usual
line of baskets, for the Raedlein Basket
Co. He will attend the meeting of the
Tri-State Florists Asociation, at Fargo,
June 28 and 29. This association is com-
posed of the trade in North and South
Dakota and Minnesota.

The Boston Store had an exhibit of Iris
on Friday and Saturday last. The
blooms came from the nurseries of the
Wing Co., Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Owing
to the warm weather and delay in transit,
many of the blooms came through in poor
condition. A second shipment for the
closing day of the exhibit had not arrived
at noon on Saturday.

Growers of Geraniums, Cannas and
other bedding plants report a good clean-
up, most of the stock being now in the
hands of the retailers. The growers are
congratulating themselves, as this gives
sufficient incentive to warrant production
on a much larger scale another season.

Frank Oechslin, the well known plant
grower, reports a splendid clean-up on all
bedding plants and that preparations are
well under way for the production of a
large stock of flowering plants for Fall
and Winter trade. He has one house of
Fuchsias, an old plant not often seen in
commercial collections, that are refreshing
to look upon. These are in oin. pots, are
well in bud and meet a ready demand
from the retailers. The variety grown is
Black Prince, a free grower and bloomer,
as well as an old favorite of many years'
standing.

Among the Growers

{Continued from page 1367)
important crop on this place. It is gro-^Ti
in enormous quantities on benches and in
flats, placed overhead. Mr. Nicholson al-
ways succeeds in being first in the market
w-ith Gypsophila, and the crop is kept up
imtil late in the season by making suc-
cessive sowings every few days. It is a
crop very easily raised and handled and
is certain to bring quick and sure returns.
One large house is devoted to Del-
phinium Belladonna. A more enchanting
sight than this house when it in full bloom
can hardly be imagined. The spikes stand
there, 8ft. tall and over, in a solid mass;
the coloring of the large flowers runs
through all shades from the daintiest light
blue, touched with more or less rosy tints,
to the deepest sky and ultramarine blue.
There is an imending variation in the
size and shape of the flower heads and
the size and arrangement of the indi-
vidual florets. The best varieties are
propagated from cuttings or divisions. It
took some courage to devote time, energy
and labor just to make sure whether Del-
phiniums on a large scale would prove a
paying proposition. Mr. Nicholson quietly
i started to find out a few years ago. To-
day he is satisfied that Delphiniums are a
good thing, so he devotes a considerable
amount of space to their culture. Snap-
dragons are another specialty. Of these,
many beds are grown to perfection. The

plants are all propagated from varieties
which have originated on the place and
which, in one way or another, are much
superior to what one generally sees. Sal-
piglossis is also under observation. A few
beds are giving promise of good results.
The flowers, as gro'^\'n here, bring good
prices and the plants are easily gro'wn
after one understands their culture. The
plants attain a height of 6it. and over,
furnishing an amazing number of flowers.

Two houses show grand crops of Fever-
few, just right for Memorial Day.
Gladioli in large quantities are another
feature doing first class, and Sweet Peas
are especially notable for their wonderful
growth, ruggedness and free-flowering
propensities.

Carnations are still grown to some ex-
tent but, as against former times, when
they had full ffway of all the houses, they

have now taken a back seal.

G. Th.

Crab Grass

What would you suggest as the best
remedy for Crab Grass? I have quite a
bit of it on the place I have just taken.
—J. G., L. I.

— If the Crab Grass is in the turf or
among shrubs and other permanent stock,
there is little chance of clearing it with-
out breaking up the turf or lifting the
ptock. While any roots of the Crab
Grass remain in the soil, it will per-
sistently appear. If on open land free
from crops, the Crab Grass and all other
perennial weeds can easily be beaten out
by constant cultivation. So long as any
gro'\rth is allowed to remain above the
surface, such weeds store up strength to
carry on. Persistent hoeing will, however,
not only destroy perennial weeds, but
also check the spread of annual weeds.
Remember, one year's seed seven years'
weed. Plant only crops that will permit
cultivation with ease; planting crops that
cannot be cultivated all through the sea-
son simply results in dirty land being per-
manently dirty.

"JAY EM" Says: I

Chicago's Mail Pouch i

Eight times as much mail as is handled ,
in the Kingdom of Norway is handled i
dailj'- in the Chicago Post Ofl&ce. The |
amount of letters and money put into the i
Chicago mail pouch annually is unbeliev- \
ablv large. Two billion pieces of mail are |
handled. Receipts exceed $38,000,000. The
domestic money orders issued last year
totaled more than $265,000,000.

The Chicago Post Office has been a fac-
tor in, and a result of, the development
of commerce and industry locally. Its ex-
pansion has been so rapid that during the
building of the present post office the
growing demands upon it rendered its ac-
conmiodations inadequate. Plans are now
being pressed to build a new post office
near the new Union Station, west of the
Chicago River, with the Chicago Plan
Commission's proposals. The new building
will house only the mails and will be in
direct contact with the North Western
and Union Stations.

A benevolent phase of the many-sided
problems attendant to the collection and
distributing the mails has been the dis-
position of Santa Glaus letters. For
many years the assistant postmaster has
been the city's official Kris Kringle. Be-
tween 6000 and 7000 of these appeals have
been received from children of the poor,
and in every instance Chicago's bounty,
through the efforts of the assistant post- I
master, has turned the hopes of the w^rit-
ers into reality.

WHOLESALE
FLORISTS

Boston

The Market

June 7. — Boston is esperiencing an
epidemic again, one which we are glad to
mention produces happy results for all
concerned. Symptoms — young couples are
suddenly sti'icken with a fierce desire to
rush to the license bureau. Cure — wed-
ding. Eesult — among other things, plenty
of work for the retail florist and a pro-
portionate demand for suitable flowers.
The high water mark for marriage li-
censes, for the last ten years, was reached
in Boston yesterday, when 107 happy cou-
ples filed marriage intentions at City Hall.

Business in the retail stores has been
good since Memorial Day but, in spite of
a rather more than normal demand for
this season of the year, the market is
suffering from an oversupply. A continu-
ation of unusually bright, sunny days and
warm nights is bringing the flowers along
in great shape and in enormous quantities.

Roses are probably hit the hardest.
After the retail stores and shipping
houses have bought their quota every
morning, there are rafts of Roses left
which have to be disposed of in one way
or another. Here is where the street man
and the department store come and where
the grower gets left. But then, it was
always thus, too much of a good thing is
sure to make somebody sick. From 2c.
to 16c. represents the range of prices for
the past week. Extra good Hadley bring
a little more. The quality of the flowers
is fast going back and much of the stock
arrives in too open a condition.

Carnations are becoming poorer every
day, and the very best grades and sorts

bring not over 3c. One cent to 2c. is the
ruling price for ordinary stock.

Sweet Peas are in the same class with
Carnations, too many and most of them
poor, the price running from ^/4c. to 2c.
and sometimes 3c.

Gladioli are becoming more plentiful
and are demanded more freely, selling for
SI. 50 to $2.oO per doz. America, Halley
and a few Mrs. Francis King and Mrs.
Watts are the only sorts offered so far.

Lilies and Callas find few buyers. All
the miscellaneous minor items are in over-
whelming supply and command only nomi-
nal figures. Lily of the Valley just about
fills the demand; it is now bringing from
10c. to 12c. Cattleyas are getting scarcer,
and it looks as if the crop was going to be
still shorter. The demand is rather good.
The same thing holds good for Gardenias.

Feverfew and Stock are rather "sticky,"
realizing much less than a week or two
ago. Peonies have now come in with a
rush. They are good and sell for SI to
$1.50 per doz. Their season will be shorter
than usual.

Adiantum ferns are in great demand for
wedding bouquets. The supply is abun-
dant, with price from $1 to $2 per 100.

News Notes

Since May 31, John J. O'Brien, on
Beacon st, has been wearing one of those
— you know what I mean — smiles. Mr.
Stork dropped in on that day and brought
him a healthy baby boy. The sun, the
flowers and the whole world look twice as
bright to John now. And it all happened
on John's own birthday.

June is surely the month of Roses in
Boston this year. Quite respectable look-
ing Ophelia are selling on the street for
1 Oc. per bunch, while the department
stores ask 35c. per doz. for 24in. flowers
of the same kind. Thousands of Rosea

have been sold at wholesale for 50c. per
100.

Challenge to Florist Baseballers

For the past few years, the baseball
team of Galvin's Park st. and Back Bay
stores has tried in vain to arrange a
match with any or all of Boston's florist
baseball organizations. No use. Offers
of a fat purse, a glittering belt and all
sorts of other inducements have brought
no answer. So, of course, the Galvin
boys are not to be blamed if they take it
for granted that the Boston florist base-
ball teams are afraid to tackle them and,
in their innocence (or is it self conceit?)
they now challenge any or all of the flo-
rist baseball clubs in the United States or
of the universe, for that matter. Give
them credit for courage. Whoever wishes
to divest them of their goat had better
take notice that the supposedly invincible
team represents the following heroes in its
line-up: Pitcher, Wiliam Campbell; catch-
er, Tom, Curran; 1st base, George Dunn;
2d base, John Dowd; 3d base, Monty
Murray; right field, Hugh McNally; cen-
ter field, Frank Murphy; left field, Char-
ley Lynch; captain, William Campbell.

Now the story is out, the bars are down.
Come one or all ; it's time to find out
whether the Galvin baseball team is the
one that never got licked.

John Eiseman, the "Beacon Florist's"
store, may not be the biggest florist store
in Boston, but it certainly is one of the
busiest. Situated, as it is, in the largest
department store in the city, trade is
naturally bound to come its way, especially
at such times as Christmas, Easter and
Memorial Day, when an almost unbeliev-
able amount of business is transacted.
While Mr. Eiseman appreciates the value
of an exceedingly good counter trade, he
also enjoys the reputation of being one of
the most artistic and, in new and novel
ideas, most advanced designers and deco-
rators. In the planning and execution of
his designs and decorations, he does not
feel bound to follow beaten paths, but
rather enjoys to put over, in his inimi-
table way, something never attempted be-
fore, something "chic," with a fineness of
personal artistic touch. Therefore, his
list of prominent and exacting customei*
is growing every day.

A Progressive Coiicerii

While at Wollrath & Sons', Wal-
tham, the other day, we watched the un-
packing and potting up of a shipment of
flowering Cacti, which had just arrived
from Mexico. The lot contained over 25
different species and varieties, and a
more wild and prickly looking congrega-
tion of plants could hardly be imagined.
At that, they were intensely interesting
as to form or size. The plants had ar-
rived in very good condition, having been
in transit over three weeks. The man
who was given the job of potting up the
lot soon went on a hunt for cast iron
gloves. Not finding any such things he
scre^ved up his courage and gingerly pro-
ceeded with his work. It was fun to
watch him. Every little while he would
yank his fist away, jump a yard or so and
then break loose in some strange and vio-
lent language with lots of o's and d's —
it's sprinkled through it. There may have
been some fun in the potting of those
Cacti, but he sure did not think so, from
the way he acted.

The Wollrath establishment is given
over to pot plants entirely, turning out
an immense amount of stock in the course
of a year. The most popular varieties of
ferns, flowering and foliage plants are
growm in large blocks for the holiday
trade, finding ready sale in the Boston
retail stores and in cities and towns far
away. Novelties in any line which look
promising are always on trial. Just at
present a sport from Nephrolepis Teddy
Jr. is being propagated for all it is worth.
It is quite a distinct variety, being of
extra dwarf habit, fine shape and of hard
texture, containing all the good require-
ments of a pot fern and standing rough
handling well. There is also a variegated
Ficus elastica which is to be put on the
market soon. It has been exliibited sev-
eral times and has attracted deserved at-
tention. Oranges, in various stages of de-
velopment, are liberally grown, also a
large batch of seedling Gloxinias and a
fine lot of Dracaena Rothiana (new) and
all the popular sorts. Pandanus of both
varieties are another specialty._ Then
there are the Cyclamen, for which the
firm has always been noted, and all the
other things generally found in an up-to-
date plant establishment. A good deal of
space is taken up outdoors by Roses for

Peony £xlii1iition

The combined Peony exhibition of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society and
the American Peony Society will be held
at Horticultural Hall, Boston, on June
18 and 19. The American Peony Society
will at the same time hold its annual
meeting. The Massachusetts Horticultural
Society offers, among a number of other
prizes, the f oUow^ ing : For the best six
blooms of a new double Peony, not before
exhibited, a silver medal; for the most
meritorious display of Peonies arranged
for effect, a silver medal.

The American Peony Society offers a
list of prizes and medals, amounting in
value to over $900.

Copies of the premimu list may be had
on application to the secretary. Prof. A. P.

The slurring observation: "She said it
with metal" or "She said it with wax"
often entered a discourse between women
when Memorial Day matters were the
topic of the day lately. A common oc-
currence it was to have a customer in a
florist store ask in earnest to be shown
some metal or wax "sympathies." It
doesn't take the public long to find an
appropriate name.

Tickets, at 60c., are now on sale for
"Ladies Night," to be celebrated at Horti-
cultural Hall, on June 21, by the Florists
and Gardeners Club of Boston. The com-
mittee in charge of arrangements promises
a select program by local and art talent,
both in the musical and entertainment
lines. Buffet lunch and dancing. Mem-
bers are expected to bring their friends.

MiLFORD, Mass. — A greenhouse, 219ft. x
36ft., is being erected for W. D. Howard,
to take the place of a small greenhouse
which has been torn down. With the com-
pletion of the new house, which will be
devoted to growing Carnations, Mr.
Howard's establishment will consist of six
modern greenhouses.

For tlie first time in many weeks, the
refrigerators of the flower shops had a
plentiful supply of flowers last Saturday
afternoon, and while there is no Summer
dullness, there is an appreciable drop in
the sale of cut flowers. Eight now is the
time to increase the advertising appropri-
ation, both by newspaper and direct mail.
The B. F. Barr establishment is using
liberal space and quoting prices which, to
my way of thinking, is a good thing for
local advertising.

Walter Hammond uses the personal
equation method, holding his old custom-
ers and getting enough new ones to keep
up a nice business.

' H. A. Schroyer is not able to leave the
house but is on the road that leads back

to health. The Lancaster School Board
evidently thinks he is good for a number
of years as it unanimously re-elected him
treasurer of the city schools.

E. S. P. Miller of Ephrata, Pa., is a liv-
ing example of the possibilities of a small
to\vn business. Several years back I
wrote a few notes on the great quantity
of flowers used by the people of this town
and the beauty of their front yards and
porches. Much of this must be credited
to Mr. Miller, who has fostered the na-
tural love flowers among these people by
giving them well grown stock and pointers
on how to get the most beauty out of it.
He has educated his people to buy well
grown Geranium plants for their windows
in the Winter season, instead of trying to
use the plants that have decorated their
front yards all Summer, and having the
sorry looking specimens one often sees in
country towns. In addition to his plant
trade, he has worked up a trade in cut
flowers (gradually eliminating the sending
of orders to big city florists, who often
seemed to think anything was good enough
to send) by using strictly first class flow-
ers and giving full value for money re-
ceived. In short, he has given Ephrata
good business service, and in return has
received an unusual volume of business
for the size of the town. This paragraph
is written not as a boost to Mr. Miller,
much as he may deserve it, but to show
the opportunities in small town business if
properly handled, and to wake up some of
the florists in this class of town who are
making a bare living with wealth knock-
ing at their doors.

The Market

The first week in June finds the
market moving easily with a medium sup-
ply and demand. Peonies had a short
reign this year, their activity was con-
fined to Memorial Day Week. In other
years, as a rule, there are a lot of Peonies
placed in cold storage from which the
supply is drawn upon throughout June.
This year there are none in storage and
the local cut is over. There are a few
shipments from upper New York State,
but they are not a factor any more. The
supply of Roses has decreased a trifle and
prices have firmed in some instances. Car-
nations are showing the effects of the
heat and are moving out rather quietly.
Lilies have advancted with a shortening sup-
ply and aided with the demise of the Calla.
There are some Sweet Peas but very few
good ones. Gladioli are showing a steady
increase. Cattleyas remain steady with a
top level of Sl-50. There is a regular
supply of Snapdragon, and a steady re-
ceipt of Delphinium, Daisies, Calendulas,
Iris and Stocks are all to be had. Valley
is in steady demand for the run of wed-
ding work.

Notes

Frank E. Miller of Washington,
D. C.J was recently in town visiting the
trade.

Harry Crawford of the J. G. Neidinger
Co. is now making the rounds of his cus-
tomers in a New Ford coup§.

Carl Corts enjoyed several days' trout
fishing in the Poconos last week.

The S. S. Pennock Co. is receiving
very fine Gladioli, both indoor and out-
door grown.

The twelfth annual Spring flower show
of the Lansdowne Flower Show Associa-
tion took place in the Twentieth Cen-
tury Club in Lansdowne, Saturday, June
4.

A. B. Cartledge is having a new yacht
built to replace the Marguerite II. It
will be completed in time to compete in
a series of races in New York waters.

It is rumored that Bill Crawford will
be the official umpire in the Florists Base-
ball League. It has also been brought to
our attention that Mr. Crawford has
made application for increased life and
accident insurance. Uneasy rests thc^
dome that may be crowned.

An International Flower Day

h ia proposed that Armistice Day. Nov. 1 1 , be known as International Flower Day, Hero's Day, or by whatever designation may meet the popular voice.

The day is to be observed as a tribute to the soldiers of civilization, the surviving as well as the dead. It is proposed to be a day when everybody would
^^ wear a flower as an emblem of world peace and a world victory over a world of war. The flower to be worn to be the choice of the individual wearer, in
^^ this way each one would be free to wear any flower that appealed to them or fitted their pocket book.

Is Ol'K issue of Miiy 2S. page 12GG, we alUuloil
iu'ietl.v to a .siij;s;estioii whieli was being ailvanueil
by tlie soiilhrrn Florixt. inspired by a Mi's.
■' Simeon .Sbaw, that Ai'mistice Day. Nov. 11, eacli
year, be celebvatecl as an Intei'natioual Flower Day.
i At that ilate tile aims and purport of tlie idea were
{ somewluit bazy as they appeared to ns and while we
appniN'e of any commemoration which will bring aliout
a further use of Bowers we did not go into the mat-
, ter tliorongbly for the reason above given, according
:* to our understanding at that time. Mns. Simeon Shaw
having advanced no definite idea as to what she was
really planning for. In a recent issue, however, our
contemporary elucidates the proposition in a \va.\'
which admits of no misinterpretation and we cer-
tainly are well pleased to endorse the ideas therein
incorporated. In order that our readers may under-
stand the situation to date we ai"e reprinting the
proposition as recently given by that
paper and further, an extract from the
For Worth i Texas) 8tar-Telcgram. tell-
ing more about Mrs. Shaw, not only who
she is but also further defining her propo-
sition and commenting on what she has
done to date toward advancing it.

The protagonist of Mother's Day was,
fittingly, a woman. Miss Anna Jarvis of
Philadelphia. This good lady spent her
time and money freely in her endeavors
to bring about the observance of Mother's
Day. She ajipeared before the Governors
of States, Legislatures and numerous bod-
ies; addressing them always on the one
subject close to her heart, the result of
her efforts being that her idea was suc-
cessful; the President and Congress ap-
proved of and oflieially endorsed Mother's
Day as did many of tlie States.
The results we all know.
That Armistice Day can be made an
ecpially important flower day does not
admit of question ; it can be done. The
florists can assist materially in the suc-
cess of the movement through giving sub-
stantial support to the lady who is now
agitating the subject and working toward
its establishment, but they cannot of
themselves create the day. Someone, pref-
erably a woman of determination and
pluck, must be the one to enthuse our
legislators and the public.

In our publication of April 12, 1919, we
published a letter from a Mrs. George
Wplfrum of New Jersey, in which that
lady urged that Nov. 11 be fittingly celebrated with
flowers as Hero's Day, We enthusiastically endorsed
Mrs. Wolfrum's idea and published as well an edi-
torial comment on her letter. The proposition at that
time made no headway, probably because it came too
closely upon the end of the war and before people
had really settled down to the condition of mind that
would make them receptive to such a proposition.
Now, after thirty months have passed, conditions are
more ripe, more auspicious, and if the trade will
give Mrs. Shaw assistance financially it is quite
withiu the possibilities that that good lady can bring
about the desired objective.

The suggestion has been made that the Society of
American Florists endorse Mrs. Shaw's w-ork at its
convention in Washington next August. That sug-
gestion is a good one, due steps having been taken
before hand to ascertain that Mrs. Shaw is working
in the right direction in order that everything may
be straight and thoroughly understood before the
matter is brought up in the convention, which, at best,
as a body, cannot go much further, at the present
time, than to give her efforts its approval. Individual
members would have to do the contributing.

It will be noted that the idea is to make Nov. 11
an International Flower Day, a day on which flowers
should be worn universally by all. One factor in par-
ticular which should predispose every one, florists
and the public at large, favorably toward the sugges-
tion is that all shall wear a flower in honor of the
soldiers, the living quite as much as the dead, but
that there shall be no set flower named, leaving it to
the choice of the people to wear whatever kind of
flower which on that day best suits their taste or their
poeketbooks.

From the

''Southern Florist"

lieen a gratifying

.Vltliougli tlHM-e lias lieen a gratifying response to
the ajipeal which we printed in hist week's paper,
calling u]ion the florists of the country to a.ssist Mrs.
Simeon Shaw in her efforts to inaugurate an Inter-
national Flo«er Day, Nov. 11, on which to honor the
soldiers of tlie world, the outstanding note in tiie re-
plies has been one of misapprehen.sion.

Kvidently we failed to make clear just what sort of
an ()bser\anee is proposed.

It is not proposed to decorate the graves of soldiers
on that day.

It is not proposed to send flowers to soldiers on that
day.

It is not an observance that is confined to the sol-
diers in the late war, or even to their families.

Prize-winning vase of white Sweet Peas exhibited by M. Graf, Elmsford, N.Y.
at the New York Flower Show

It is proposed that on that day which is also

Armistice Day everybody who values the service to

mankind ^vhich these soldiers of civilization rendered
shall WEAR A FLOWER in honor of these soldiers —
the living quite as much as the dead.

Its possibilities, from the standpoint of the florist,
are as, great as those of Mother's Day.

For if it becomes the universal habit to wear a
flower on this day, it will naturally follow, as in the
case of Mother's Day, that men will send flowers to
women for the occasion. And when they send, it will
not be a single bloom but such an order as the florist
will desire to handle.

As a Fort Worth (Texas) florist rem'arked the other
day, everybody has felt (even before Mrs. Shaw's pro-
posal was heard of) that some suitable observance of
Armistice Day should be adopted. But no certain
form of observance has taken shape, so that the people
let the day pass with but perfunctory notice.

S. A. F. Support Desired

It has been suggested that this movement should be
sanctioned and sponsored by the Society of American
Florists.

This paper agrees fully with that view, and only
hopes that the matter can be brought to the attention
of tlie S. A. F., at its annual convention, in .such a
manner as will win its instant approval.

What is being aimed at, for the moment, is precisely
that measure of interest, with incidental preliminary
financing, that will insure the bringing of the matter
liefore the S. .A. F. convention in such form as to get a
free hearing.

It would seem that a general discussion of the ques-
tion in advance — one that will clear away misconcep-

lioiis such as have been already voiced — would insure
a more cordial reception of the proposal when
liniacbed at the convention.

.Mrs. .Shaw, the originator of the idea, has volun-
teered to go before the national and other conventions
iu (u-der to win the support of the florists for this
lliing in which she is so deeply interested.

Hut she, being the wife of a Methodl.st minister and
not in the wealthy class, does not feel called upon to
(lefra.\' her own expenses to these conventions. She
would scarcely want to go to Washington on the as-
sninijtion that her expenses would be paid.

Hence the invitation to florists to subscribe a fund
in advance' of the convention.

To Address Conventions

It is true, of course, that there has been a proposal
to liave Mrs. Shaw address the Oklahoma and Texas
conventions (possibly others) before the
nation convention meets. We do not think
this flows from any desire on the part of
these States to get more than their share
of honor. It happens that Mrs. Shaw re-
sides in Texas, and that her idea has
been discussed more, perhaps, in this sec-
tion than elsewhere.

The logic of her addressing some State
conventions first, however — aside from
the mere circumstance that they do hap-
pen first — seems to be identical with that
which would prompt as general a discus-
sion as possible in advance of the Wash-
ington gathering. The enthusiasm gen-
erated at the State conventions will be a
welcome preparation lor the larger event.
Incidentally, the presidents of both the
Oklahoma and Texas associations are in-
viting the S. A. F. to send a man of na-
tional reputation to attend these two con-
ventions ; first, to bring an inspiring mes-
sage, and, secondly, to get first-hand im-
pressions of this flower day project.

Meanwhile, general publicity in the
daily press will help to popularize the
idea.

The objection has been voiced, by the
editor of one of the trade papers, that a
flower day, as proposed, is something
which cannot properly be made by the
trade but must be backed up by public
sentiment. We think, though, that the
trade can help to mold public sentiment.
And Mrs. Shaw is working through vari-
ous channels outside the florist trade in
just this effort to build up public sentiment, along
with official sanction. Can there be any objection
to the florists keeping step?

Subscriptions to the fund, up to date, are as follows :
Previously acknowledged, $130; Joy Floral Co.,
Nashville, Tenn., $10; Lang Nursery & Floral Co.,
Dallas, Texas, $15; R. F. Reisinger, Marlin, Texas,
$1; M. J. Callahan, Fort Worth, Texas, $2; total to
date, $15S.

The checks are being forwarded to Eugene Woerz,
-Vrdmore. Okla., chairman of the temporary finance
committee.

Kohout Buckles Armor On
One of the most pleasing messages received as yet
was that from Joseph Kohout, president of the Chi-
cago Florists Club.

"It is certainly a fine idea," he wrote, "not merely
in a commercial way but in a sentimental and patri-
otic one as well. There is no question about the
possibilities of building up that day as another flower
day. I will bring it to the attention of the Chicago
Florists' Club, the Commercial Flower Growers of
Chicago, and the Illinois State Florists Association,
and I will do my best to bring some united action iu
our territory to boost it along."

T. H. Joy in the letter accompanying his cheque said,
"We think this is an excellent idea and one that
merits the support of all the trade."

E. J. McCallum., of the McCallum Company, Pitts-
burgh, Pa., declares himself "in sympathy with any-
thing that will tend to encourage the florist business,"
and pledges his support as the program progresses.

"We will be glad to assist in any way we can,"
wrote John Furrow, of Furrow & Co., Guthrie, Okla.,

■ ''Out in the West (Western Texas)
there is a wonderful little woman. She is
I a very odd woman because she is so very
natural. She never imitates anything.
She does her own work and thinks her
own thoughts. If she wants to do anything
I she gets up and does it in her own way.
If she wants to go anywhere she gets up
and goes in her own way. She never tries '
to be anybody but Mrs. Simeon Shaw, ]
wife of the Methodist minister at Canyon
City, Texas. She is the proud and happy
mother of nine children — four boys and
four girls are living. One little boy sleeps
every night under the stars of Japan where
sbe left him when their five years of
foreign missionary work were over. The
oldest son has already followed his fath-
er's and mother's footsteps even across
the seas and he is a missionary in Japan
today. The oldest daughter is in Colum-
bia University finishing her course to
join her brother in Japan as a second
missionary. Another son is still in the
navy, and two others in E,ice Institute.
The other three daughters are in the
Canyon City schools.

"Isn't that a good family record?

"This 'Little Mother of the Panhandle,*

I as a Washington correspondent called her

I lives of usefulness in the different conti-

' nents, on the land and on the seas, but

I she is a rare artist with her crayons, her

brush and her paints.

"She is not only an artist but she is a
designer. She can always plan ways
and means to carry out her designs. She
is a designer of days and is always
planning ways to make someone happier
or to honor others than herself.

"For months she has been planning a
I Flower Day for the soldiers of the world.
i A day when the whole world would wear
a flower, not only for the dead who died
for their country, but for the living sol-
diers who fought and lived for their
country. A day when everybody would
' wear a flower as an emblem of world
peace and a world victory over a world of
war.
I "A few weeks ago Mrs. Shaw decided
j that to make a success of her Flower Day
I for all of the soldiers of the world she
I would need the sympathy and coopera-
j tion of the first lady of the land? Did
she give up at this thought? Oh no! But
I three children in school and three in col-
• lege these days there is not much extra
1 change lying around the house. That did
j not phase her. With her handbag full of
I colored chalks, a tackhammer and s<jme
tacks, and a roll of oatmeal wallpaper
she started for Washington. Her experi-
ence as a minister's wife had taught her
many valuable lessons in economics and
lined her pathway throughout the State
of Texas with true friends. For a few
himdred miles on the way she visited the
schools, drawing, teaching, entertaining
and inspiring laughter, and a little later
she called at the White House to present
her plan for a Flower Day for all the
soldiers of the world to Mrs. Harding.
Her last letter was sent from Baltimore
on her way back to Texas.

"But what is her plan? For the Gov-
ernment to fix one day of the year as a
memorial day to every soldier. Preferably
Armistice Day, when men, women and
children will wear a flower in honor of
the World War soldiers. Not any special
flower that can be grown only in a few
places, but any Hower^ just so it is a

Secretary of State Hughes has approved
the suggestion of Mrs. Simeon Shaw that
an international flower day be set aside
in memory of dead soldiers of the World
War.

A joint resolution will be introduced in
Congress proposing the memorial.

New Bedford, Mass.

With the passing of Memorial Day,
everyone remarks on the wonderful busi-
ness, better than ever. Although the choice
in plants was small, they were all cleaned
up at good prices.

Geraniums sold as high as $1.50 each,
large plants. Hydrangeas were the next
leader, averaging $2 each. Magnolia
wreaths, as usual, proved good sellers, but
many florists are disgusted the way they
are handled, as every drug, variety and
even grocery store had stock to sell. Most
florists think it unjust that at a time
when the florist has a chance to make a
dollar, the other stores should be allowed
to ring in. The wreaths were offered as
low as 79c. each.

Outdoor flowers were exceptionally
scarce this year, as stock usually in bloom
had gone by fully two weeks previous.

The Peckham Floral Co. had a large
crop of Carnations; quality could not be
beaten.

H. V. Soule had a large stock of Hy-
drangeas of his own growing.

Ed. Shaw cleaned up on Geranixuns at
a good price.

Ed. Davis reports a heavy demand for
his Tomato plants, most people having
lost theirs loy the local frost. He had one
good sized batch of Stocks that brought
home the bacon. His houses are all being

Contributions are being collected for

Florists are giving as a class and H. G.
Dillemuth, who is the chairman for the
florists, states that they are giving very
liberally.

F. T. D. Executive Meeting

The executives of the F. T. D. met
at the apartment of G. M. Geraghty, on
May 31, with a full attendance. A large
number of letters were read from florists
in various parts of the Dominion, stating
that they may be counted upon to help
in entertaining the visitors to the Cana-
dian F. T. D. Convention.

It was decided to issue a circular giv-
ing facts regarding the convention. This
will be mailed freely to florists. A fea-
ture of the convention that should appeal
to Toronto florists is the arrangement
whereby, if a florist is especially busy,
members will be detailed to help him so
he' can get out to the meetings.

Several prizes will be awarded for the
best window displays during the conven-
tion.

H. G. Dillemuth and Harry James are
dealing with the trade exhibit arrange-
ment. Many requests for space have been
received. As soon as information is avail-
able regarding the location in the new
King Edward addition, full details
will be published. In the meantime, com-
panies desiring s^ace should communi-
cate with either of the above gentlemen.

Hotel reservations should be sent to
Mr. Dillemuth.

Entertainment was discussed and fur-
ther announcement will be made regarding
this, after the visit of the F. T. D. officers
to go over the program.

Following the meeting Mr. Geraghty en-
tertained the members to supper.

Rose Society Meeting

The Rose Society met on May 31
and heard several addresses. Prof. R. B.
Thomson thought the best place for a Rose
garden was in the Botanical Garden in-
stead of in a public park. In this con-
nection he mentioned the arrangement be-
tween the Botanical Gardens of New York
and the Iris Society of America, whereby
the latter has its headquarters in one of
the buildings close to the Iris collection,
which is at its disposal to study, and the
society is represented on the advisory
council of the garden. He hoped the en-
thusiasm for the Botanical Garden scheme
in Toronto would soon result in its estab-
lishment.

Other speakers dealt with Spring and
Pall planting, exhibition and garden
blooms, methods of combating diseases and
pests, and cultivation.

tained a party at his Summer home, "Pil-
grims' Rest." One morning, when, he was

Toronto florists have decided to protest
to the Board of Control against the prac-
tice of certain people utilizing vacant lots
to sell bedding and nursery stock without
paying any business tax. Florists feel
that this is most unfair to them.

Mrs. Walter Lyon, of the Ontario Rose
Society, has been speaking at various
girls' boarding schools, with the result
that many girls are attending to Roses
and preparing them for the June show.
Mrs. Lyon has been in great demand in
Toronto diagnosing the illnesses of Rose
bushes. It is of interest to note the de-
mand there has been for Rose bushes this
year. Frank Dunlop, of John H. Dunlop
& Son, Ltd., Richmond Hill, stated to
The Exchange representative that never
in any previous season had they sold so
many.

Unfortunately for the growers, stores
like Woolworth's are obtaining Rose
bushes at a low price and are selling them
at loc. per bush. They are very good
stock and it looks as if this competition
would result in some growers suffering a
loss. For instance, a few growers here
bought Roses in Holland at 14c. each and
had to pay duty, express, packing charges,
etc. Thus, they find it hard to compete
with Roses retailing at 15c.

Canada at Ijarge

The Montreal Gardeners and Flo-
rists Association will hold a flower show
on June 6.

The annual show of the Ontario Peony
Society will be held at Pinafore Park, St.
Thomas, on Jirne 11. The show will be
held under canvas.

The Horticultural Association of South
Vancouver, B. C, has purchased a site o^

A Loving Cup of Roses

Our Pittsburgh newsletter affords an
interesting news item.

A _ large department store, when cele-
brating its fiftieth anniversary, was the
recipient of many floral pieces.

Among them was a giant loving cup
made of 3000 Roses, from the concern's
own employees, one bloom for each.

Needless to state, the floral cup at-
tracted considerable publicity, both for
the department store and the florist firm
which made it.

Flowers by Air Mail

The regular airmail service between
Holland and England appears to render
a good service for those who wish to send
cut flowers for special purposes.

Several Holland firms seem to make a
practice of sending their flower novelties
for examination by parties interested.

The rapid delivery makes it possible for
the blooms to arrive as fresh as when
cut.

Advertising

1. Publicity activities by an asso-
ciation of florists, or by florists
individually, are designed, of
course, to reach the eyes of the
ultimate buyers of flowers, gain
their attention and stimulate
them to a larger buying of flow-
ers.

2. Individual advertising in trade
pournals by retail florists is, of
course, planned to reach the eyes
of other retail florists and to ob-
tain from them, through tele-
grams or letters, orders calling
for local delivery.

3. A retail florist, to increase his
business, should do both kinds of
advertising, because the two are
adapted to distinctly different
fields and effectively supplement
one another.

National Publicity Campaign

The time when the Publicity Cominit-
tee will make the contracts for the next
series of advertisements in the national
magazines Is fast approaching. The funds
at present available to cover these con-
tracts and settle outstanding liabilities are
not large; in fact, do not permit of what
the committee feels would, be a proper
effort to revive the slogan, "Say it with
Flowers," after the dormant period, now
happily ending. The first of this adver-
tising should reach 12,000,000 or more
people, just as some of our former adver-
tising did. As anyone conversant with
magazine advertising knows, this means an
expenditure of several thousand dollars.
All florists who have not yet subscribed
to the Campaign Fund are urged to
send in their subscriptions now, thus en-
abling the Committee to carry out their
plans to the full. It is not necessary to
further describe our previous success. Suf-
fice it to say that the slogan has been
coveted by dozens of other industries, and
perverted by many to suit their own con-
ditions. Still, it is recognized by the
public that these perversions do but re-
flect the slogan of the florists, and we gain
rather than lose by the piracies. It is
high time that the slogan should again be
spread over the country. Its influence is
worth many, many times more than it has
cost or will cost us, and it is up to the
trade to preserve this influence, a condi-
tion which can only come through a fur-
ther expenditure of money, to provide
fuel for the publicity fire.

Those in the trade who have not yet
sent in cheques to cover the amounts of
their subscription guarantees are also

urged to make remittance without further
dflay. The muncy is greatly needed, as
the Committee does not see its way to fi-
Uiincing the contracts it is arranging to
place with undischarged guarantees. Sub-
scriptions received for 1921 amount to
$25,188.00, the following subscriptions of
record since oui- last report, included:

Now is a good time to locate positions
for the slogan billboards. Quite a num-
ber of these billboards are still on hand
and immediate shipments of them can be
made at the regular price, $50 each. One
of these boards on your property, Mr.
Florist, would mean a lot of publicity for
you, and also for our industry. The price
represents the actual cost, and a low cost
at that.

The Secretary has just received a let-
ter, dated at Seattle, from J. F. Ammann,
now in the West on a tour in the inter-
ests of the Campaign, in which he states
that his party is meeting with splendid
success wherever they go. In each city
so far visited an allied trade organization
has been formed, and this means perma-
nent aid in our publicity work.

When is Father's Day, Anyway?

From the New York Sun of June 6 we
learn that "Yesterday — Sunday, June 5,
that is — was Father's Day, when Roses
were to have been worn as tributes to
fathers, but few were seen wearing the
designated flower. In May, when Mothers
had their day, nearly everybody wore a
white Carnation. Eight years ago.
Father's Day was started by Charlotte K.
Kirkbridge and Carrie Sternberg, who ob-
tained a charter under the laws of the
State of Delaware. A bill providing for
the observance of the day was introduced
into Congress the same year by Repre-
sentative J. Hampton Moore of Pennsyl-
vania."

But almost simultaneously we note in
an advance copy of The Southern Florist
the following timely suggestion:

"Lest you might not think of it, the
third Sundaj' in June is Father's Day.
It happens to fall this year on the 19th —
or Emancipation Day, 'Juneteenth,' as we
sometimes say in the South. The day has
not been considered a success, of course,
but possibly it would be worth a certain
amount of publicity — and the coincidence
of Juneteenth shouldn't matter. Possibly
it could be used to advantage.

"It appears that Father's Day gained
sufficient vogue to be recognized by the
United States Congress (in 1914). It was
first celebrated in Spokane in 1910, found-
ed by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd and taken I
up by the Y. M. C. A. and the Ministerial
Association of that city."

This situation reminds us of the Fall
of 1918 when there were two Armistice
Days in the field, with the difference that
whereas one of those celebrations turned
out to be definitely a mistake, the two
Father's Days are doubtless both sincere
expressions of the same sentiment on the
part of two groups of people working
separately, and perhaps without knowl-
edge of one another.

Before the matter becomes too involved,
it would be well for the two camps to get
together and effect a compromise, so as
to decide upon a date when everyone could
celebrate and in behalf of which the florist
trade could act in harmony and as a unit. As
The Southern Florist remarks, there is no
reason why the observance of Father's

Day shouldn't offer an excellent oppor-
tunity for additional business if rightly-
developed.

At any rate it is worth trying. And
fortunately, this year, those who forgot
or didn't know about the day on the
fifth, are to be given another chance on
the 19th. Right now is the time for every
retailer to start a little campaign for
Father's Day. Let them, moreover, keep'
a careful lookout and see how it "takes"'
with the public.

verse as flowers in a garden."

Dear friend:

Why did you not arrive on the
27th, to make your weekly visit?
It is the flrst time since we formed
your acquaintance that you have
failed us, and you can have no idea
how much we have missed you. We
depend on you so much, es-
pecially for the information you al-
ways give us concerning the many
firms who advise you of the stock
they have to sell, which is a great
help to ns. Do drop in, anyway,
even if it is a little late, and after
this, for the love of the people,
whatever you do, don't fail to call
on us in your good old way.
Yours truly,

Porter & Porter.

able excuse to oft'er for your ne-
glect, we are ready to accept it."

Lancaster— Continued from page 1381

a. W. Biinton of ^Yilmin^on, Del., and
Cluis. Sliaeffer of York visited Lancaster
the |)ast week, via machine, to prepai'C for
their Geranium stock next Spring. Both
report that they had the best business in
Geraniums this Spring that they have
ever had. Mr. Brinton said that in spite
of the fact that so many were out of em-
ployment, their stock running close to
20,000 plants, was exhausted by Memorial
Day.

The visiting trip to the Du Pont green-
houses has heen postponed until Thurs-
day, June 23. The start will be made
from Elmer Weaver's on the Lincoln
Highway, at 9 a.m., taking lunch along
and stopping at Barnard's, Marshall's, Du
l^ont's and Graystone Park, if arrange-
ments can be made for a visit to the lat-
ter place. This will make a 90 mile trip,
and anyone wishing to join the party
.should get in touch with A. M. Herr,
K. F. D. Xo. 8, Lancaster, Pa., quickly.
Tlie roads are good in fair weather, but
bad if it rains, and in the latter case the
trip will be postponed.

The Market

June 6. — Business has been rather
.^l(jw since Memorial Day, with an abun-
dance of all kinds of stock of qu-ality than
ran from good to bad. Outdoor flowers of
all kinds are on the market, with the
result that there has been a decline of
prices all aiong the line.

The usual June demand for white Roses
has met with the usual short supply. It
has been impossible to fill all orders.

FOR SALE— Hotbed sash, second hand, l>$-in.
thick, 3 ft. M in. by 6 ft. glazed with 5 rows 6-in.
glass, all reputtied and in excellent condition, ready
for use, S2.7o each; 2-in. thick. 3x6 ft. at $3.00

American Beauty is in short supply and
of inferior quality; in fact. Premier seems
lo be the only Rose that is able to stand
the warm weather. Cohunbia, Butterfly,
Ophelia, American Legion, Pilgrim, .Sun-
burst, Hilda, Richmond and White Kil-
larney are the other varieties arriving in
quantity.

Carnations are showing the effects of
the warm weather, and the most of them
are soft and unfit for sale. Easter Lilies
and Gladioli are two items that continue
to hold their own and clean up at list
prices, but Callas are soft and about
through for this season ; this also holds
good of Snapdragon.

The local Peony season is over and ship-
ments are now arriving from the northern
growers. Outdoor flowers are a welcome
addition, and include Delphinium, Lark-
spur, Sweet William, Coreopsis, Gaillardia
and Candytuft.

The supply of orchids and Valley is suffi-
cient for all needs.

A review of the Memorial Day business
shows that it was not up to expectations.
Out of town flori.sts report a big business,
but the city trade was not what it should
have been, due no doubt to the large
number of imemployed; still, at that, the
trade has nothing to complain of.

General Notes

George C. McCallum of the Mc-
Calluni Co. is calling on the firm's custom-
ers in the East. Mr. McCallum is making
the trip with Henry Blend, the firm's rep-
resentative in that district.

Ka uf mann's Depa rtment Store cele-
brated its fiftieth anniversary last week,
and many handsome floral pieces were in
evidence. The 3000 employees of the firm
sent a loving cup made of Roses, one Rose
for each employee. The A. W. Smith
Flower Stores Co. filled the order, and it
caused much favorable comment. All the
newspapers carried photos of it with a
lengthy write-up.

The ilcCallum Co. ball team defeated
the California Ave. M. E. Church nine
by the score of 14 to 12, in an interesting
game on the Riverview Park grounds. The
all around filaying of Cooper for the ilc*
Callum Co. was the feature.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Retail Florists Association of the Pitts-
burgh district will be held Thursday even-
ing, June 9, at the Hotel Chatham. ^
large turnout is expected, as the election
of officers for the coming year is to be
held.

The '"Say it with Flowers" slogan seems
to greet you everywhere. As an example,
the A. W. McCloy Co., a printing firm
of this city, advertises in the street cars.
Their present card is a reproduction of
some of the cards w-hich they have print-
ed. The most prominent space is given to
a reproduction of the Valentine Day card
which they made for the A. W. Smith
Flower Stores Co., so that the flr.st thing
that greets you is "Say it with Flowers"
on a printer's ad — some free advertising.

May 30 Business Only Fair

Another Memorial Day has come
and gone, and with it the bulk of the
bedding plant trade. From reports of the
local trade, business was not as good as in
former years, owing to the business de-
pression in nearly all other lines of trade.
AVe do not look at these things in a pessi-
mistic way, however, as we believe before
long things are bound to change for the
better, so all hands are preparing for good
business this Fall and Winter. With this
in view, the planting of ^Mums and Car-
nations and other stock is going merrily
on.

There are a few weddings booked for
this month, as usual, although no very
elaborate affairs.

The outside stock is beginning to bloom,
although not in very large quantities as
yet.

James E. Beach had an excellent Me-
morial Day trade, cleaning up pretty well
on all stock, especially Geraniums. A
large amount of funeral work has been
done lately. His plant has been reduced
quite a bit in the last few years, he hav-
ing disposed of ail of his houses with the
exception of one Carnation house and one
house for general purposes.

A new firm has started here or rather
it has assumed control of the houses for-

merly run by F. Schleichert. J. Dobeli is
the gentleman now^ in charge of this place,
and he reports trade as good considering
conditions at present. He has just fin-
ished iilanting a large number of hardy
Rose bushes outside. Some fine Sweet
Peas are being cut at present. I am sure
all hands wish Mr. Doebeli success.

Julius Reck says his Carnations in the
field never looked better. He is cutting
splendid Gladioli, Sweet Peas and Carna-
tions. Bedding stock is nearly cleaned out.
Several weddings are booked for this
month. Two of his boys are to leave
very soon on their vacations.

Robert Hawkins reports Memorial Day
as being pretty good. A goodly number of
bouquets and bedding plants were disposed
of.

James Horan & Son had the decoration
for the Henshaw-Paxton wedding last
week, which was quite a large affair. The
house was profusely decorated with ever-
greens. Hemlock, Smilax, palms, ferns,
Easter Lilies, etc. An aisle was formed
of white ribbon attached to pedestals, to
which Carnations and Sweet Peas were
also fa.stened. The bride's bouquet was
made of Lily of the Valley and white or-
chids. The attendants carried pink and
lavender orchids and Columbia Roses.
This firm has also had a number of
smaller weddings. General trade with it
is fair.

John Reck & Son are about cleaned up
on their bedding plants, and are getting
the houses ready for planting "Mums, Car-
nations, etc. Carl Reck of the above firm
says that prices with them were a little
less than last year. There was not as
much planting out as last season, as most
of their customers did their own planting
this year.

They have a few weddings booked for
this month; also funeral work w^ith them
has been very good. F. E. B.

Encouraging Orchid Culture

Among the special cups offered at the
C'helsea Sliow, London, was a 50 guinea
( about $250 ) example, donated by various
trade orchid growers, for the purpose of
encouraging amateurs to take up orchid
culture.

The cup is restricted to growers em-
ploying not more than three gardeners,
and the exhibit is to be confined to 60 sq.
ft. Three successes will make the cup any
grower's property. Nothing like stimu-
lating competition among amateurs for
benefiting trade.

It Can't Be Done

Last vveek I got into an argument. A rather hot argument,
in addition to its being a hot day. Both of us were, therefore,
"a bit hot." My hotness, however, was mostly under the
collar. His was under his hat.

It happened this way: When I called, found him and one of his
men mixing up some home-made paint for his greenhouses.
They had a butter tub, into which they had dumped a lot of
white lead, and poured in some oil and drier. This they stirred
around for half an hour, and then said it was "just right to
use."

Just right," says I: "Why, man dear, it is nowhere near
right. You may have mixed the white lead into the oil, but
you haven't anywhere near mixed the oil around the white
lead particles. If you haven't, then your paint won't last as
it should and could.

"To get all the preservative and lasting qualities out of that lead
and oil, by hand mixing, you would have to stand there and mix
and mix for 24 hours straight. Even then, it wouldn't be
mixed as thoroughly as our special green house paint-making
machine does it in one hour.

'Imagine a blacksmith hammering out an automobile. Compare
It in your mind, with the splendid machine-made one you ride
in every day."

"But hold on," you say, "Don't your special machine-mixed
paint settle in the bottom of the can? Doesn't it have to be
stirred up before it can be used?" Certainly it does, but it settles
with every particle of lead completely surrounded by a film of oil.
When you stir it up, you simply stir it. You stir the lead
BACK into THE OIL again. That's a short job. But stirring
the oil around the lead as it should be stirred, is a mighty
long one when hand done.

After which all of us cooled off a bit and I told them exactly
what is in our paint and exactly how it is made. Came away
with an order for enough of our special greenhouse machine
made paint, to go over all their big houses.

It is painting time. How^ much] of j^thisj special greenhouse
paint do you want ?

Hold Up— Or Be Held Up

The high price of coal has led a lot of greenhouse
owners to listen to numerous tales about coal-saving
devices. If you are one of the ones, just think these
points over before you put down any of your good
money for any of them.

Burning Air

In the first place, it is just as much to our
interest as to yours that every coal-saving de-
vice that actually saves coal should be used.
That is to say, provided what it costs, com-
bined with what OTHER COSTS it may involve,
does not exceed the cost of the coal it saves.

For example:

Most all devices for saving coal provide
for controlled air inlets above the grates;
this, of course, means that the grates get
red-hot, or almost so and they burn out very
rapidly. In many greenhouse plants, this

particular fault would be so serious and ex-
pensive that it would overcome any saving
in fuel.

Burning Oil

There's a lot of talk just now about
burning oil. The claim is that even if oil
costs the same as coal, its use saves you money,
because of the labor it lessens in firing, and
care of the ashes. There are several oil-burn-
ing equipments on the market that are right
for greenhouse use. But there are a lot of
things to consider before you change your coal
to oil, or you may find yourself some Winter's
day in a most costly fix.

Counsel

We are in a position to either try out ourselves
or get the full facts about every coal-saving plan
device or cheap fuel that is practical for greenhouse
use. So before you decide to make any changes on
your heating or fuel it might be well to hold up a
bit, and counsel with us about it. It's better to hold
up now, than be held up later.

critical examination that Buckbee was my best hybrid.

"The abundant foliage of this variety affords ample protection from the scorching sun during intense heat.

Field of Freesia Purity Improved, Growing in California for the American Bulb Company, Being* Inspected by A. Miller, President

FREESIAS PURITY-Improved

We believe we are the largest handlers of high-grade Purity Freesia bulbs in America. All our fields are thoroughly examined during their grow-
ing stage by our own members of the firm to insure our customers of the best the crops can produce. We can deliver Freesia bulbs early enough to
enable you to get them in bloom for Christmas, if properly handled. Our bulbs are not grown in the w^et district of California but are properly w^atered
by irrigation. They are all grown near Los Angeles which florists in California recognize as the best place to grow high-grade bulbs. The fact that
we sell quantities in California of our own grown is evidence that florists know where the best quality is produced. -

Bulbs offered in the following sizes, all up to size:

M. WEH^AKS, Ploriat, 602 Davis St^ Evanston, lU.

Dear Sirs;

The Freesia Purity you sold me this year were
as good as ever. I have found that I can always
rely on your Freesia Bulbs. The large ones for
early forcing were in for the holidays as usual.

The Rainbow Freesias are fine, growing tall and
have very stiff stems. The colors are very fine
and sell readily. Yours truly,

GEORGE C. WBILAND.

Gentlemen:

Just a word about the Freesia bulbs you sold
me last year. I have grown Preesia, bulbs for the
past 20 years, but I have never before cut so great
a percentage in December. I cut fully 50 per
cent of my crop for the Christmas holidays. They
were fine and sold well at the Michigan Cut
Flower Exchange in Detroit.

Tour Dutch bulbs are also fine. "Fours truly,

New York Florists Club

Last Meeting of the Season

•eonsidering the liij;!! temperature aud the fact that
It was the hist meet hi;; before the Summer adjourn-
ment, the attendance of fully 100 members, under the
presidency of I. 'Su IlemU'ieUson, may be considered
ijotid. Business ivfis' cipehi'd aliotU N p.m.

Memorial Resolutions

Arising ou^t of the reading of the minutes, Secretary
Young reported Uiat the committees appointed had
drawn up resolutions relatuig to tlie deaths of their
respected members, Alfred ,7. Demeusy, JNIrs. P. B.
Rigby and Mrs. A. II. Langjahr. All present re-
mained standing during the reading of these resolu-
tions.

Birthday Flowers

Chas. Scheucli reported that the committee ap-
pointed to consider the proposition as submitted at
the previous meeting, had not formally met. Casual
discussion with one or two of the committee had
elicited the opinion that the proposals were not cal-
culated to assist the florist to any extent. ' The selec-
tion of common flowers grown in the open, might
react against better class flowers. A customer, if led
to thiul; that a 50 cent buucb of Asters was a
good birthday present, might get into the habit, mak-
ing such purchases instead of choosing $10 worth of
Roses. It was felt that the selection of special flow-
ers for each month would not aid the florist and be
therefore proposed that the proposition lie on the
table. Put to the vote, this was decided upon.

Transportation to Washington

Clifford Lowther, for the transportation committee,
stated that he had nothing further to announce be-
yond what appeared on the club notice, Slembers de-
siring to avail themselves of the reduced fare, miist
first obtain a certificate of identification from Secre-
tary Young, and also make reservations with the
railway agent. Tickets m!ay be purchased after
Aug. 1 upon presentation of the identification certifi-
cate. (Further particulars are given in another col-
umn,)

S. A. F. Membership Drive

Frank Traendly and A. L. Miller both reported that
the special committee appointed had not yet begun
operations. Action would, however, take place In the
immediate future and it was hoped that New York
and vicinity would materially Increase the member-
ship of the S. A. F.

Good of the Club

A. T. De La Mare for his committee, had little to
report. He expressed the desire that all members re-
turn the questionnaire recently sent out. President
Hendrickson also urged members to consider this
questionnaire closely; everyone should consider the
subject of making the club even better than it al-
ready is.

Chas. H. Totty, discussing this subject, declared
that one of the things materially affecting the club's
progress, was the room they were using. Although
unable to define the reason, there was an absence of
"dlubby" feeling in the room, compared with their
old-time quarters. The atmosphere of the room was
not homelike and nothing could alter it.

Chas. B. Weathered closely agreed on this question ;
the room was not suited for such meetings ; one of its
failings being the poor acoustic properties.

A. L. Miller admitted that the old-time quarters
were more homelike, but they had to make the most
of what they could now get.

President Hendrickson expressed his pleasure that
this discussion had arisen. For the good of the club
many similar matters might be considered. Every
member had the chance to assist through the medium
of the questionnaire.

General Business

Only one new member was proposed, John Muresko,
N. Y. ; owing to the Summer adjournment it was
voted that the bylaws be suspended to permit the
election of this nominee without delay. This was
done.

President Hendrickson announced that the Horti-
cultural Society of New York had reappointed its
show committee until something definite had been
decided upon regarding a future show. He therefore
thought it fitting that the show committee of the
club remain as It was for the time being.

The president on behalf of the club thanked all
who had assisted with flowers or other material In
the American Legion parade on Memorial Day.

-Vrising out of some remarks by the president it was
decided that the Good of the Club Committee be given
the antliority to consider the bylaws of the club and,
if any reconiiineiidations likely to benefit to members
.■mil the elnh as a whole could be devised, the same
would be considered in due course. ,•,.,., ■

Dr. Britton on Insect Pests '■' 'KfS' ''■■'

No further business being brought forward, Presi-
dent Hendrickson expressed pleasure lii introducing
Dr. W. 10. Britton, Ph. U., State aud Station Entomolo-
gist, Conn. Agri. Exp. Station, New Haven.

Dr. Britton prefaced his display of lantern slides
by some general remarks on insects. Not all were
pests, for in the main, they either lived oh native
plants or upon each other.

The number of insect species in the world was
between 400,000 aud 500,000; 10,000 were -known in,
New Jersey, and 7000 in Connecticut. New York
State, owing to its size, probably had more. The full
study of insects was not always possible at the vari-
ous stations, as some species appeared for a very brief
season. Often by the time a new pest was reported
to the entomologist, the season for its activity was
past. On such occasions Dr. Britton said the en-
tomologist was comparable to the bumble bee which
was swallowed by the bull. The experimental sta-
tions were eager to assist growers as far as possible,
and it was through the medium of their bulletins that
the stations gave much assistance.

His own station had from time to time issued bulle-
tins which he believed were of considerable service.
The Spray Calendar, Bulletin No. 24, was, he thought,
of special value to every grower, as it illustrated many
pests and prescribed the best remedies. The bulletin
on the bulb mite and others relating to Potatoes and
fruit trees. Dr. Britton also referred to. Members of
the club were welcome to any of these bulletins so
far as the supply would permit.

Regarding the destructiveness of certain insects,
not a few of these had been forced Into changing their
habits through cultivation. By cultivating new
ground and destroying their natural food plants, cer-
tain insects were induced to try others ; thus they
became pests, although not new in the true sense.
Those that kept themselves to weeds only, or preyed
upon other Insects, were classed as friendly.

Dr. Britton explained that it was impossible to
cover the subject of insects and diseases in one even-
ing ; he had some difficulty in selecting some 75 slides
from their collection of about SOO. The slides, many
of them in color, depicted on a large scale, a host of
more or less well-known pests — the variegated cut
worm which gets into gi-eenhouses in the Fall; the
common stalk borer, which favors anything from a
Begonia to a Cornstalk; the four lined bug which
attacks both flowers and vegetables; white fly, thrips,
Morgan, San JosS, browii, and a host of other scale
pests affecting trees and shrubs, aphis of all colors,
a mite which is so omnivorous that it attacks Cycla-
men, Snapdragon and. Dr. Britton believes. Delphin-
iums ; bulb mite, a giant hornet that chews Dahlia
stems ; weevils affecting Pine trees ; Eelworm' in Be-
gonia leaves, Rose chafers, Galls that affect Roses aud
fruit trees; Chrysanthemum midge and rust, and
mildews, were- a few of the subjects depicted and
briefly described, remedies in most instances being
suggested.

Dr. Britten's discourse was listened to with close
attention and at its 'conclusion he was accorded a
rising vote of thanks.

Exhibits

Following the recess the committee on awards ac-
corded a cultural certificate to a vase of Delphiniums
raised from seed a year ago by the Springfield Floral
Co., N. J., and a vote of thanks to John Lewis Childs
for a pleasing collection of seedling Japanese Iris,
two vases of Peonies and a collection of hardy Lilies.
The latter, with the exception of the brilliant Turk's
Cap Lily, L. tenuifolium and L. Hansonii were of the
elegans type. Especially good were elegans rosea.
Painted Chief, Orange Queen, atrosanguineum aud
Horsmanni. A good vase of Calla Elliottiana was
also shown.

The meeting came to an end about 10.30, the presi-
dent announcing that no meetings would be held dur-
ing July and August.

I do." — Pearson's Weekly (London).

Iris Bulb Growing in
California

=^=^^

FKdM Jnmes A. r.nnvii ot ISrown Bulb Ranch,
Caiiitoln, Ciilif., we have i-ofolved a most Inter-
esting letter regarding his experiences with Iris
bulbs.

One season, on a large scale, convinces him, he says,
that his firm alone will, if they plant up all their
propagating stock, have more Iris bulbs within the
next two years than can be sold In America. His
letter is accompanied by a photograph which we are
reproducing herewith.

The illustration shows some of the buildings on the
Brown Bulb Ranch. The Iris beds so full ot bloom,
on the right, contain one variety of the Dutch type,

Dutch Irises

The Dutch Irises, it may be mentioned, are of re-
cent origin; to all intents they are early flowering
Spanish Iris, having the same parentage, Xiphium.
tinder normal conditions they bloom about two weeks
ahead of the Spanish Iris and, on this account, have_
become an important type in Europe, both for forcing
and garden purposes. The beds to the center and
left of the picture, are filled with Spanish Iris ; these
are Just commencing to flower.

Further left are more Dutch varieties, followed by
a large area of I. tingitana, which might be mistaken
for grain, being completely out of bloom. Iris tingi-
tana is an exceedingly early type and, being of a rich
lilac purple color, is extremely useful for florists.
More tingitana is to the extreme left, but is not in-
cluded in this view.

Nine Acres Planted Solid

The Iris beds, only part of which we depict, run the
full length of the field, the total area being nine acres,
planted solid.

Our correspondent is positive that the Californian
grown Iris bulbs will prove as good or better than the
Holland grown.

Years ago it was declared that California Freesias
would not force as readily as the French and Dutch

but, as events proved, this was merely foreign propa-
ganda. Long before the embargo went into force,
hunilrods of thousands ot the Freesias, Oallas and
Gladioli forced in America, were home grown.

The Advantage of Climate

('allfuniiii, .says Mr. Brown, has a decided advan-
tage in climate. Irises are planted in the Fall, as in
lOurope, but, owing to the conditions, the growth is
. above ground in the Winter and the bulbs are ready
for harvesting about the time they are blooming In
Holland. With the stoppage of rains in May, the bulbs
have, in California, a chance to cure off without being
wetted every few days as In Europe, so that they are
ready for digging in June, and can be in the hands
of the florists by the end of July or earlier. In Hol-
land, growth is longer delayed and, owing to constant
rains, the biilb.s do not have a fair chance to ripen
thoroughly to permit early shipment to foreign ports.

From the fact that California Freesias force so
well, Mr. Brown deduces that the Irises grown there
will not only be ready earlier, but will force far bet-
ter than European stock.

California Paperwhites

Our correspondent tells us, too, that for some years
he has shipped Paperwhites and Daffodils to Eastern
forcers who declare they can force the California

bulbs into flower two weeks earlier than the French
and Dutch stock. (Concluding his letter, Mr. Brown
states that It would appear that every Iris bulb
planted, even the tiny propagating stock, has bloomed
and is in the way of making a line bulb. Lifting will
commence in mid-June.

It will be remembered that Mr. Brown returned
from Europe last Fall with a large quantity of Iris
and other bulbs for propagating purposes. To our
readers it may seem amazing that after one season
Mr. Brown is questioning the possibility of selling all
the stock his ranch produces, leaving out the numer-
ous other growers who are also growing Iris,

Give the Buyers a Chance

For ourselves, we think it is up to the forcers and
retailers to disabuse Mr. Brown of this view. The
vastness of the covmtry and the ease with which these
bulbous Iris may be grown in the garden, offers every
possibility for using up all the bulbs that may be pro-
duced, let alone needs of forcers and what stocks may
be exported.

The export trade could be made of considerable
extent for, if California bulbs will force earlier, the
overseas forcers would become ready huyers. Let
America make the Spanish and Dutch Iris what they
are — the poor man's orchid. Bulbs at a fair price will
sell readily.

The Small Nursery

As conducted by the Florist-Nurseryman. This

is the second in a Series of Short, Practical

Articles by Nelson Coon, Part I appearing in

the issue of June 1 I, page 1359.

Part II — Equipment

It Is presumed that the reader of this article has
read the first discussion on the benefits to be derived
by a florist when he adds a nursery department to his
business and that he has determined to investigate
his own need for a nursery department and per-
haps to take some action In the matter. It is the hope
of the writer that there are many who will do tUs.
In the present article are presented some lines of
thought which are bound to arise in connection with
the establishment of a nursery.

To call this article a discussion of equipment would
not fully convey the meaning as the word "equipment^'
usually brings to our mind such things as shovels
and spades. These tools of the trade have their proper
place in any well conducted nursery, but they will
be spoken of later on and in connection with other
matters.

The most important equipment in your nursery de-
partment is "TourseU." The vital power of this, as
of any other business, is a thorough knowledge of the
profession and the ability to sell and to grow. Before
' you purchase a tree or plant a shrub, you should feel
convinced that you are in love with your work and
that you are willing to push it to the limit. Many en-
I terprlses become failures because the owner does not
: have faith enough tn it to stand behind it strongly
( during times of trouble. If you have faith and am-
j bltion, you stand a big chance for success. As faith
1 without works Is useless, so you must be willing and
able to spend some time in intensive study, for the
technical knowledge of names, etc., required in the
nursery business is akin to that required by the drug-
gist. It would seem to the writer that the very
first requirement of a successful nurseryman is a fair
' and growing understanding of horticultural nomen-
I clature.

This matter of names Is not as hard as it seems.
If you learn to Identify a plant or two every day you
will soon acquire a good store of knowledge. Do not
try to learn a lot of names at once for it "can't be
done." And plants can't be identified by just book

Scene on the Brown Bulb Ranch, Capitola, Calif.]

A description of the planting shown here is given in the test: Iris Bulb Growing in California

learning; any nurseryman will tell you that. The
writer has found that an excellent plan in learning
plant names is to take a catalog of any wholesale
nursery and copy in writing the technical and common
names as given. Repeat this process for several weeks,
meanwhile identifying as many plants as possible.
This process of writing down the names fixes them
firmly in mind and as soon as you are able to iden-
tify this or that tree, your mind Immediately comes
forward with both the technical and common name.
For instance : You have never heard the name "Retln-
Ispora pisifera aurea," and In walking about with
some friend nurseryman, he points to a tree and says :
"Isn't that a nice Cypress?" You say, "Yes, what's
its name?" He then says "Eetlnlspora pisifera
aurea." The name makes no impression on your
mind because you have never seen it written out or
written It yourself. But if you had practice in writ-
ing out these names, this one identification of the
plant will fix both name and plant firmly in mind.

The above suggestions for the study of the techni-
cal side of the nursery business may seem a laborious
plan, but it is true that only by constant application
can you hope to attain the greatest success.

A second quallflcatlon for success In the nursery
business Is the matter of proper finances. Unless you
have sufficient surplus funds (which very few ot us
have these days) don't think of entering the nursery
business without the use of borrowed capital. In or-
der to make the nursery a paying investment, it Is
necessary that a good stock of plants be constantly
on hand and growing. It is the profit you can make
on your Investment which should be figured on rather
than the expectation of paying back the full value of
the Investment the first year. No large ooucem today
Is doing business with its own capital, and as long as
you have stock on hand to show for it, there is no
sin in using borrowed money.

Local conditions will, of course, determine the
amount of money which you will need to start your
venture, but you should figure on being able to borrow
anywhere from $3000 to $5000 to use as a working
basis.

The third and final consideration is the matter of
proper and convenient acreage for your nursery. Very
few fiorlsts enjoy the benefit of a large portion of di-
rectly adjoining land, and while the nursery connected
directly with the florist's establishment is greatly to
be desired, it is more often necessary to make outside
purchases of land for this purpose. When your nur-
sery is some little distance from your office, you can
overcome the difficulty with a good show ground, which

is a matter we shall discuss In detail later on.

Don't go into the purchase of land without a thor-
ough Investigation. When you look over land, take a
spade along (or a stout cane) and dig in here and
there to discover just what your conditions are. While,
as I have said, accessibility is very Important, good
rich soil Is even more so. If the land in mind has
been used to grow Com and Potatoes, you can be
fairly sure that it is all right And if it isn't en-
tirely level, don't let that worry you, for the varlona
characteristics of different plants demand different
growing conditions. To attempt here to dictate Just
how large the land should be would. Indeed, be fool-
ish ; this matter must be left to the individual.

It may seem to the reader that this article was
written to discourage the florist In an attempt to add
a nursery to his business, but such Is not the case.
It is simply to point out some of the danger points
and to help him In making an unbiased decision about
the nursery.

Remember, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
Profit by the example of hundreds of florist-nursery-
men and get in on this toterestlng and paying game.

American Peony Society

Annual Show, Boston, June 18 and 19

Owing to the unusual earliness of the season, the
Peony growers of the more cool sections of the North
and East have an opportunity that rarely comes their
way. Boston can be depended upon to make a show
and all who have an interest in the Peony, and who
can make the journey thither will, without doubt, be
amply repaid.

Get out the machine and away.

The RhodJodendroh Fly

This pest which, according to a well-known author-
ity, infests the wild Rhododendrons of Carolina Is
likely to make Itself obnoxious everywhere. An Eng-
lish wi-iter states that this fly is, unfortunately,
spreading, nearly all the plants he has bought from
various nurseries being badly attacked.

According to this writer, the fly does not appear
to injure the plants much, but it makes the foliage
rusty and unhealthy looking.

By persistent spraying during May when the flies
are hatching, with i lbs, whale oil soap, 1 qt. of Bent-
ley's orchard spray and 30 gals, of soft water, the
pest has been exterminated in his garden. The under
part of the leaves need most attention.

Notes from Abroad

One of those "depi'essions,'* which used
to come acroas the Atlantic with depres-
ing frequency, would not be at all un-
welcome just now in the growing districts
of Western Europe.

A certain amount of rain has fallen in
the important Anjou district and done
much good, and the gi-owers are at pres-
ent keen on contracts for Beet and Car-
rot for 1922.

Further south, owing to the great demand
for Sugar Beet, the culture of Mangel
Wurzels has gone back. The plantations
of the former are looking very well so
far.

In Provence there are no large breadths
of Carrots, either of the garden or agri-
cxdtural varieties, and only a small crop
is expected. Magdeburg Chicory is also
neglected, large stocks being still on hand.
Garden Chicories and Endives have suf-
fered by the baleful mistral, and pros-
pects are uncertain. Cabbages have done
badly in parts and been ploughed up, but
in others extensive plantations are now
in flower, and a good crop is expected.
Cucumber has been sown extensively, but
very little Spinach. There are also con-
siderable breadths of Longpod Beans, but
these are chiefly grown as stock seed to
send to North Africa.

In the latter region thunderstorms with
heavy rains have taken place, but the
erops do not appear to have suffered, and
growers' hopes are in the ascendant.

Throughout the seed raising districts of
( rreat Britain there have been local rains,
but the land is looking very dry, and a
great deal more moisture is wanted.

The annual flower show of the Royal
Horticultural Society of England took
place last week, in the cool shades of the
Hospital Gardens, at Chelsea, London, and
notwithstanding the prevailing difficulties
of transport and general trade depression,
held its own well in comparison with its
immediate predecessors. The tents were
larger and of a much improved type, giv-
ing more room both for visitors and ex-
hibitors. There was a brilliant and varied
display by all the leading houses in their
usual lines, orchids, Koses, Carnations and
Sweet Peas being very prominent. Among
the latter the new varieties Royal Scot,
Hawlmark Cerise, Ravenswing and others
made a grand show.

But, perhaps, the outstanding feature of
the exhibition were the rock, pavement
and water gardens, which, of course, ne-
cessitate heavy labor and great expense.
There were some striking designs beauti-
fully carried out, and the enterprise of
the firms concerned certainly deserves to
bring them success. One exhibit was
bought as it stood for some $5000, and
there is no doubt that this form of gar-
dening, of which an excellent object les-
son was given is becoming increasingly
popular.

London houses were pleased to receive
the visit of John Bodger, Sr., of Los
Angeles, though sorry to hear he had been
suffering since his arrival from a sharp
attack of bronchitis. He was, however,
feeling much better.

Other visitors were H. Reed of Wyu-
berg. South Africa, and A. Symonds of
Perth, Western Australia, who both re-
ported favorable weather and good trade
prospects in their respective parts of this
rapidly shrinking world.

New York Seed Trade

As we go the weekly round of the seed
stores these days we see that the number
of buyers is few as compared with that of
only a short time ago and that there is

no active demand, merely a desultiny buy-
ing of seeds, insecticides, sundries and a
few of the later green vegetable plants
and bedding plants; the fact is, selling
season appears to be largely over. Sum-
mer lists are being sent out by not a few
of the seedsmen, and the Autumn bulb
catalogs are now in pre]»aration. l tne ot
the striking features of the season is that
very few shortages have appeared, either
in flower or vegetable seeds or in green
vegetables, or flowering or foliage plants.
The exception in flowering plants perhaps
being the relatively short supply of bod-
ding Geraniums of all kinds.

Roman J. Irwin, who went to Boston
on Tuesday of last week, traveling by the
Metropolitan Steamship Line, and enjoy-
ing or perhaps we had better say experi-
encing an extremely rough trip, returned
to this city on Saturday of last week.
The period between his arrival on Wed-
nesday morning and his return on Satur-
day night Mr. Irwin spent mostly visiting
the growers in Boston and vicinity and
some other biisines houses. He reports
that he found business conditions among
the Boston gi'owers most encouraging. Mr.
Irwin was told by some of the growers
that Pelargoniums, not only the variety
Easter Greeting, but other varieties, and
double and single Petunias and other well
grown attractive plants in pots, sold
readily on Mother's Day, showing that the
tendency is to make the day one on which
there is a large sale of pot plants as well
as cut flowers. Mr. Irwin reports the
arrivals of the first shipment of Freesia
bulbs from California; according to the
last report which he received there will
be about 45 per cent of normal crop this
year.

The well arranged indoor salesroom
display which was inaugurated some time
since in Vaughan'e Seed Store, the chief
featua-es of which are insecticides, spray-
ers, garden tools, lawn requisites and
sundries, appears to be a telling feature
in the stimulation of sales of such goods.
We have noted as we called that this dis-
play has been well kept up daily. An
inventoi-y of stock is now being taken at
Vaughan's. The demand for California
Freesias and Callas and also for Hari"isii
Lilies for future delivery is quite active.
An interesting and comprehensive Mid-
summer list of seeds, bulbs and plants
for florists is now being sent out.

S. S. Skidelsky, of S. S. Skidelsky &
Co., left the city in the early days of this
week for a three month's trip, his goal
being the Pacific Coast; this is a combined
pleasure and business trip. Mr. Skidelsky,
while on the Coast, will look after the
Freesia and Calla bulbs, of which his com-
pany are large handlers. On his way
thither he will visit a number of the
larger cities.

An interesting window display "was in-
stalled last week at Stumpp & Walter
Co.'s and is continued through this week.
On the window floor, which is covered
with sheet moss, are shown growing in
pots a large number of varieties of head,
curly leaved and Cos Lettuce. This ex-
hibit affords an excellent opportunity for
a comparison of form, size and general
habits of growth of the different varieties
of Lettuce. Gi'oups of ferns. Begonias
and blooming Rose bushes at different
points in the foreground and corners of
the window give a finish to the display.
Several water-fans furnished the neces-
sary moisture. In the companion window
of this large store there is a remarkably
striking display of seasonable vegetable
seeds, bushel lots in open bags. A name
card on each, giving the price of the seeds
in several quantities, and a picture in
natural colors of the vegetable, adds to
the value of the display. In the fore-
ground of this larger display of seeds
were shown flower seeds in packets, ar-
ranged in shallow baskets, with placards
similar to those on the vegetable seeds.
Grouped in the corners of this window

HARDY PINKS

These New Perpetual Flowering Hardy Pinks are a great
improvement on the old type of hardy Pink, being equally as
hardy and perpetual flowering. They bloom continually from
early Summer until Fall, and the flowers are larger than the
old types, more substantial and borne on long stems, suitable
for cutting and very fragrant. They are valuable both as a
cut flower and for the perennial border. We offer three distinct
varieties:

HAROLD. Large double white, of symmetrical form.
JEAN. Pure white, v«rith purple center.

ROBERT. Delicate shade of old rose, with light maroon center.
Strong 3-in. and 4-in. pots, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100.

A REAL

Root Maggot Remedy

Insures a good crop of

Radishes, Kale, Cabbage, Onions*
Turnips, Cauliflower Etc.

Magotite acts as a preventive
by repelling the Fly, which lays the
eggs from which the maggots are
hatched. It also destroys maggots
which are already in the soil. It
has proved very eflfective in com-
bating Earth Worms of all kinds,
the Strawberry Crown Borer, Cab-
bage Worms, Asparagus Miner,
Flea Beetles, Cut Worms and all
kinds of Slugs.

Simply sprinkle in and over the
drills when seeding, and around the
roots when planting, and after the
plants are through it is sprinkled
around and alongside of them.

It is not injurious to plant life in
any way, but on the contrary is a
valuable stimulant and fertilizer.

A 4-lb. package will cover about
300 feet of drill, mixed with soil
at planting time, with an occasional
top dusting as a preventive during
the growing period. For Field
Culture the approximate quantity
required is from 300 to 500 lbs.
per acre.

New York Seed Trade

(Continued from page 1407)
Tvere displays of insecticides. We could
not help note that this large window dis-
play, also within the store and at the
store entrance, of potted Rose bushes, is
kept up to concert pitch at a time of the
year when most seed stores are getting a
little careless as to their window and
store displays.

The new address of the MacNiff Horti-
cultural Co. is 196 Greenwich st. This
store reports a good week in plant sales,
both counter and auction,

Burnett Bros, are mailing out with
their Midsmnmer catalog an insert an-
nouncement in regard to their Autumn
bulbs.

The new address of the Barclay Nursery
Co. is 62 Vesey st. This company reports
an excellent season in the sales of nur-
sery and bedding stock, now drawing to a
close.

Among the recent callers in town were
A. R. Langwith, Havana, Cuba, and Mr.
Quadland, of Cornelius Quadland's Sons,
North Adams, Mass.

Ciiicago Seed Trade

From all indications there will be a good
representation of all Chicago seed houses
at the St. Louis convention, June 22 to 24.
A few of the houses will be represented
at the Southern Seedsmen's meeting, at
Memphis, Tenn., on the 20th and 21at,
going directly from there to St. Louis.

Vaughan's Seed Store is offering giant
English grown Cyclamen Seed that is
meeting with much favor with the trade.
Reports from California growers estimate
the Freesia crop will be better than last
year, but with a reduced acreage and a
continued scarcity of the larger sizes.

At Henderson's Seed Store the propi-
tious Weather for planting has lengthened
the season considerably for the sale of
bedding plants. A good clean-up of
everything in plants is in sight. Manager
Degnan notes a scarcity of many old
plants that were in common use a few
years ago. Lantanas, an old favorite for
which there is again a demand, is diffi-
cult to find anywhere. The old Lemon
Verbena Aloysia citrodora much used in
the long ago, is available no longer. It
is his opinion that many of the old plants
used years ago would find a ready sale if
growers would start to producing them
again. Rose scented Geraniums are diffi-
cult to obtain also.

The annual meeting of the Iowa Seed
Dealers Association was held in Des
Moines, la., June 1, when the following
officers were elected for the coming year:
J. T. Hamilton, Cedar Rapids, president;
W. H. Talbot, Osceola, vice-president; E.
M. Eldridge, Shenandoah, secretary, and
J. T. Hoffer, Nora Springs, treasurer.

A. Miller of the American Bulb Co., re-
ports the booking of orders for Freesia
bulbs to be quite satisfactory. A thorough
examination of their fields in California
ensures their customers the best crops
that can be produced. Mr. Miller says
there is no change in the situation with
regard to French bulbs; prices are the
same as fixed by the association in April.

C. 0. Wilcox of the Madsen Seed Co.,
Manitowoc, Wis., is in the city on his
way to Memphis, where he will attend
the meeting of the Southern Seedsmen's
Association, on the 20th and 21st, from
which point he will go to St. Louis, Mo.,
for the American Seed Trade Convention.

The lockout in the builders' trade that
has been enforced since May 1 ended on
June 15, when over 200,000 builders will
return to work. This will put new life
into the business of the city. The resump-
tion of building activity in Chicago is
gratifying to every line of industry here.
The florists as well as other lines of mer-
chandizing are joining heartily in the sat-
isfaction the end of the lockout brings.

The American Bulb Co. announce the
engagement of M. N. Tyler, recently of
the Botzum Seed Co., of Cleveland, Ohio,
as manager of their flower seed depart-
ment. Mr. Tyler has had many years of
experience in the seed trade and comes
with the highest credentials. The Ajueri-
can Bulb Co. has secured agencies for
many of the leading European flower seed
growers in various lines of specialties. In
addition to this, arrangements have been
made with California growers who special-
ize in (lower seed for the trade for the
handling of same. Under the new man-
agement this department of the A. B. C.
business is destined to reach large propor-
tions in the verj' near future.

Recent Rumors About French
Bulbs

The latest new.?; available in regard to
tlie French bulb situation is to the effect
that a meeting of the growers was held
in France on May 28, at which the com-
munication from the American importers'
meeting of May 23 was considered. The
action of the meeting, it is said, was to
reaffirm the price schedules as previously
announced and cabled to the United
States. In other words, the request for a
modification of the prices was turned do^^Ti
flat, hard and cold.

At the same time it is reported that
another meeting is to be held in France
on June 15, at which the leading expo'ters
— who heretofore have stayed or been
kept in the background — are to be given
an opportunity to present their views,
which, it is thought, will tend to back
up the American position. Whether they
will have any more effect upon the ex-
ceedingly independent growers remains to
be seen.

As a third bit of news, one New York
importer recently received a cable to the
efi^ect that the French government was con-
templating placing an embargo on all
bulbs for export this season, for what rea-
son and with what object in view depo-
nent sayeth not. It will be recalled that
the same thing was done two or three
years ago, in that case on account of the
existence of some disease in the French
crop which the governmental authorities
did not want to have carried to this coun-
try lest the Federal Horticultural Board
would make the most of the situation and
impose new and harsher restrictions. (At
least this is the explanation that seemed
most logical at the time and that we have
had no reason as yet to discard.) But so
long as the present situation exists with
regard to bulb prices it looks as though
any embargo imposed by the authorities
was purely unnecessary.

At least one dealer with whom we have
talked is of the opinion that both sides
are standing pretty firm and that while
a compromise is the only sane solution
it is not at all certain that a mutually sat-
isfactory "no man's land" of agreement
will be discovered. He also feels that all
things considered, if the same price as
that which held last season could be set
this year, everyone would be getting about
as fair treatment as possible. Referring
to the plea made by some that the ex-
change situation is much more favorable
to France than it was, he points out — and
backs up his remarks with the "Foreign
Money" column of the daily paper — that
the franc is worth almost exactly what it
was a year ago. The great improvement
that people talk about means, therefore,
an improvement over conditions as they
were say six or eight or ten weeks ago,
not a year ago when the 1920 bulb prices
were announced.

Sticking to the general subject of bulbs,
but turning our eyes to the westward in-
stead of toward France, one seedsman
suggests whether Freesias may not come
in handy in many cases as substitutes for
Paperwiiite, supposing the latter do fall
short on account of a price deadlock. At
any rate the Freesia crop is the subject
of considerable attention and not a little
discussion just about now. Apparently
California is looking forward to a gen-
erously good yield, although there will
probably be, as usual, a shortage of the
popular large sizes. There should be
plenty of the ^in. to %in. size, which, if
the majority of buyers only knew it, as
some do, is just as satisfactory as a source
of fine blooms. F. L. D. S.

Week at the Capital

A $5000 Garden Order

Orders of this size do not roll in every
day, and when one learns that an order
of this size is picked up at a flower show,
one gets the notion that exhibiting is
worth while.

Our foreign corespondent mentions that
one of the outdoor rock garden exhibits
at the Chelsea Show was purchased as it
stood, for ?5000, and as it is reasonably
certain that the exhibitor would be de-
puted transport and replace the material,
one may assume that the specified amount
would not complete the deal.

The tax ridden British still persist in
gardening apparently.

Progress in Tariff Xegislation

The House Ways and Means Commit-
tee is rapidly concluding its work on
the forthcoming permanent tariff law and
it is expected that this highly important
piece of legislation will be before the
House of Representatives not later than
July 1.

Most of the schedules have been com-
pleted including the provisions covering
seeds and other items of interest to hor-
ticulturists, farmers and amateurs in the
various lines. During the hearings held
at the last session of Congress by the
Ways and Means Committee there was
testimony both for and against a duty on
seeds, bulbs, etc. The net result is not
known, but if a duty is provided, it will
be levied on the basis of the Ainerican
value of the same or comparable merchan-
dise.

The American Valuation Tax Flan

One of the questions most often heard
in Washington is "What is meant by the
American Valuation Plan ?" The mem-
bers of the Ways and Means Committee
have been working on this subject and
the following draft will give interested
persons at least a partial knowledge of
what the plan is. The law at present pro-
vides for the assessment of all ad valorem
duties on the foreign market values as
shown by accompanying invoices. The
new law would provide in substance as
follows :

"That whenever imported merchandise
is subject to an ad valorem rate of duty,
or to a duty based upon or regulated in
any manner by the value thereof, the duty
shall be assessed upon the actual market
value or wholesale price thereof, at the
time of exportation, in the principal mar-
kets of the United States. . . . That
the words Value,' or 'actual market
value,' or 'wholesale price,' whenever used
in this Act, or in any law relating to the
appraisement of imported merchandise
shall be deemed and held to be the price
at which such or similar merchandise com-
parable in material, quality, production,
manufacture, or use, or competing in trade
therewith, wholly or in part the growth
or product of the United States, or, in the
absence of such, any mer-chandise imported
into the United States is first freely of-
fered for sale or sold to all purchasers in
said markets in the usual wholesale quan-
tities, and the price which the seller or
owner would have received and was
willing to or did receive for such mer-
chandise when first offei'cd for sale or sold
in the ordinary course of trade in the
usual wholesale quantities in said mar-
ket, including the value of all cartons,
cases, crates, boxes, sacks, casks, barrels,
hogsheads, bottles, jars, demijohns, car-
boys and other containers or coverings,
whether holding liquids or solids, and all
other costs, charges and expenses, inci-
dent to placing the merchandise in con-
dition, packed ready for shipment to the
L^nited States."

During the month of February 1921
goods were imported into this country
from 107 different foreign countries, col-
onies or dependencies. There were, there-
fore, 107 different bases adopted by the
appraising officer for estimation of our ad
valorem import duties and 107 different
amounts of duties upon the same imported
article.

LTnder this scheme every financial panic
and every political disturbance occurring
in any foreign country exporting to the
United States registers a change in the
valuation basis and consequent amount of
our import duties and the attendant pro-
tection of our own industries.

To illustrate the single valuation plan,
it may be assumed that the market value
of a given article in the United States is
SI, in England 80c., in France 50c. and
in Japan 30c.; and that the rate of duty
is 25 per cent ad valorem. This tariff
status, if duties were laid upon foreign
market vahies, would levy upon the arti-
cle from England a tax of 20c., on that
from France 12.5c. and on that from
Japan 7.5c. In that case, the article would
enter our market costing, duty paid, from
England $1, from France 65. .5c. and from
Japan 40.5c. If, liowever, the duty were
rated upon the American value of %\,
there would be levied upon the article
from each country the same duty, 25c.,

making the cost of the article as it en-
ters our markets from each coimtry, re-
spectively, $1.05, 75c. and Japan 55c., re-
sulting in a net increase in the amount
of the duties although exactly the same-
duty would be imposed upon the same ar-
ticle wherever it comes from.

Foreign Goods Xalieling Resolution

Congressman Peter F. Tague of Massa-
chusetts has introduced a resolution in
the House of Representatives providing
"That any article of merchandise made
or manufactured in any foreign country
and imported into the United States shall
be plainly marked to show the country or
countries in which such goods were made
or manufactured, before such merchandise
is placed on sale in the United States, and
any person or persons offering for sale
goods of foreign manufacture not so
marked shall be liable to such penalties
as Congress shall impose." The resolution
has been referred to the House Commit-
tee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce.

Fort Worth, New Entry Port

Congress has just passed a bill making^
Fort Worth, Texas, a port of entry and to
which merchandise may be transported
without appraisement at the port of en-
try. An investigation was recently made
by the Treasury Department and it was
found that enough merchandise is im-
ported for Fort Worth to justify its cre-
ation as a customs port of entry, and
enough merchandise is forwarded in bond
from frontier ports under the immediate
transportation act to justify its designa-
tion as an immediate transportation port
of entry. The signature of the President
makes bill a law.

Phtsbnrgh, Pa.

The Market

June 13. — Market conditions have
not changed much since the last writing;
business is slow with an abundance of all
kinds of stock that at times is hard to
move.

Weddings and commencements have not
cut much of a figure so far this June,
and, with the exception of Valley and
White Poses which clean up daily, there
is no special demand for any item on the
list.

Gladioli still move well as the supply
is limited. Easter Lilies fall a little snort
of the demand. Roses are in heavy sup-
ply and are showing the effects of the
warm weather. Beauty is of poor quality
and moves slowly.

With few exceptions Carnations are
soft and sleepy and have to be cleaned out
on arrival as they are not fit to carry
over. Outdoor flowers are arriving in
large quantities and are the principal rea-
son for a lowered price over the green-
house stock. Some extra good Sweet Peas
are seen, but the most of them are no use
for anything.

News Notes

The Retail Florists Association of
the Pittsburgh District held their regular
monthly meeting Thursday evening. June
9 at the Hotel Chatham. As an election
of officers was in order the attendance was
large. The result of the election was as
follows: George Wessenauer, president;
W. J. Warrick, Jr., vice-president; Ed-
ward E. Ludwig, secretary; G. P. Weak-
len, treasurer. It was voted to continue
the meetings during the Summer and to
have a big joint meeting with the Florists
and Gardeners Clubs of Pittsburgh and
Sewickley in September. It was also de-
cided to try and have one or two speak-
ers for each meeting, men nationally
known in the business and who can tell
us about the associations in other cities.
The association here is young, but all
the members ai-e enthusiastic and there is
no doubt but what it will be a success.
A membership campaign is now on and
it should not be long until every florist
within a radius of 75 miles of Pittsburgh
will be a member.

Lawrence Cooper, manager of the Mc-
Callimi Co. factory, was operated on for
appendicitis last week and at the last
report, was getting along nicely.

Several of the Pittsburgh florists have
been reported ill; those on the sick list
inchido Fred Reigelmeyer, Breitenstein
and Jos. Fineberg.

Several funerals uF the boys from over-
seas has caused a big demand for red.
white and blue Immortelles, ribbon and
chiffon. E. C. TrpTON.

Graduates Keep Trade Busy

Business has been fine in Toronto
during the past week or two. There have
been a great many weddings this month,
and practieallj^ every day there have been
college and hospital graduations requir-
ing great quantities of flowers. Fortu-
nately there have been lots of flowers with
which to fill the orders.

Dunlop's Ltd. required extra trucks to
deliver the bouquets ordered for the
graduation exercises. Bouquets have been
supplied for many wedding.s. Large quan-
tities of flowers, inchiding choice Peonies,
are available. Some very fine Carnations
are still coming in.

Tidy's has had scores of wedding deco-
rations. There are Peonies, Lily of the
^'alley and Forgetmenots, as well as other
flowers available in quantity, and an eas-
ing up of prices is noted. The shop will
close Saturday afternoons during July and
August.

Miss E. Lye, of Tidy's, who has been
at Daytona Beach, Fla., for the Winter,
has returned home.

Mark Palmer, of Palmer & Son, Buf-
ifalo, was a recent visitor to Toronto,
looking up supplies for his Siunmer home
Ion the Lake of Bays, Ontario.

Harry W. James was a recent visitor to
Hamilton.

H. G. Dillemuth finds business good.

I There have been many weddings and

I school graduations using more flowers

than ever. Stock is plentiful and we are

at the height of the Peony season.

The planting season around Toronto is
about over. Those engaged in this class
of work have had the busiest season they
have yet enjoyed.

J. J. Higgins has a fine window display
of white and pink Peonies. There has
been a great demand for bouquets recent-
ly and business has been brisk.

The annual picnic of the Toronto Ketail
Florists Club will be held at Long Branch
on July 6.

The Toronto Horticultural Society will
hold its annual Peony show on June li
and 15.

Simmons & Son have had a great many
wedding decorations and bridal bouquets
to supply. They have had a bigger wed-
ding business than ever and there have
been more weddings this month than for
the past five years. They have had many
orders for graduation bouquets, and sent
four truckloads to the Toronto University
graduation alone. They have lots of
Peonies and Carnations from their own
greenhouses at Brampton. They will close
the store Saturday afternoons during
July and August.

Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Simmons leave on
June 30 for Highland Inn, Algonquin

Park, where they will spend the month of
July.

Several of the Toronto churches will
hold flower services on Sunday, June 12.
On June 5 the Italians of Toronto cele-
brated the "Feast of the Flowers." There
were special music and addresses for the
occasion.

Canada at Large

Carl Grobba, of ilimico, Ont., has
purchased additional space and is erecting
a new cold storage building. 200ft, x6oft.
It is of cement and steel construction with
a cement roof. It will store bulbs, Bay
Trees and Boxwoods, but even with this
house he will have difficulty in holding all
the stock coming on for next Winter. He
has just completed two more King houses,
38ft.xl60ft., . which makes seven new
houses completed.

The Eraser Floral Co., 9 Church st.,
Moncton, N. B., had a bouquet identify-
ing contest on June 1 0 and 1 1 . They
placed in the window a bouquet contain-
ing many varieties of flowers. The contest
was to name the flowers and greens. To
the one naming the greatest number cor-
rectly a prize of one dozen Roses valued
at $5 was given; second one dozen Roses
valued at $4; third one dozen Carnations
valued at $2; next three, each flowers to
the value of $1.50. The Eraser Floral Co.
is kno\\'n as the "Rosary" and sells flowers
and seeds. In connection with the seed

they handle, they test it all before it is
put on sale. It handles a full line of all
popular varieties.

The Horticultural Society of Weston is
holding weekly shows in the town stores,
at which prizes are awarded for the best
displays. The society then uses the flow-
ers to decorate the churches. The first
show was on June 5 and the churches
were decorated on June 6. G. C. K.

Montreal, Que.

The Montreal Gardeners and Florists
Club had its Sunmier show on Monday
last which did not meet with the success
it should have had. A very creditable
show of Peonies with 16 named sorts was-
staged by MacDonald C'ollege, St. Anns,-
through the kindness of Prof. Bunting.
Mr. Jones,- having charge, gave it as -
his opinion that the Peonies staged repre-
sented the best commercial sorts. Alf Wil-
shire of Wilshire Bros, had some fine
clean stock, also a collection of peren-
nials. His exhibit of Gladioli was Al.
In tlie absence of Mr. Burrows on account
of illness. Dan McDonald filled the chair.
The question of the annual picnic was
decided, and on Thur.sday, July 21, the
gardeners are to trepk to St. Anns de-
Bellevne' to be accompanied by a band.

The Florists' Exchange

Fritz Bahr, The Florists' Exchange, last week,
says:

"To my mind, for the average retail grower, there
is most money in Darwins. . . . With just a little
pushing he can dispose of not only the flowers but a
lot of bulbs during Fall."

Gardeners and Florists Club

The regular monthly meeting of
the Holyoke and Northampton Gardeners
and Florists Club was held last Tuesday
evening at Northampton with E. J. Can-
ning in the chair. An open discussion on
perennials followed the business meeting.

It was voted to have the annual picnic
at Gallivan Bros.' Nursery, Smith's Ferry,
on August 17. The club also decided to
have an auto party to Hartfo^-d to visit
the Eose gardens at Elizabeth Park about
June 25. This month several other trips
have been planned.

The nest regular meeting will be held
at Easthampton at the greenhouses of
Chas. Anderson.

Cinerarias for Christmas

If yuu stiu't out about the end of this
month and sow seeds of Cinerarias, you
shouldn't liave much trouble in getting
heavy, Om. plants by December, of which
a large percentage will be in flower for
Christmas. A Cineraria will never take
the place of a Cyclamen, Cincinnati, Be-
gonia or Poinsettia during Christmas
week, but I am sure every florist who
happens to have a nice lot of plants in
flower by that time won't experience the
least trouble in disposing of them at a
good price. Sow in a seed pan or flat,
shade, keep the surface moist and the
little seedlings will appear in about 10 or
12 days; transplant later on and keep in
a moist, airy, partly shaded house. A
rather rich, sandy soil is best, and fre-
quent shifting is the thing. Spray faith-
fully every week with light doses of nico-
tine, and when the plants are once in
4 s, at which time they require space be-
tween them, a few Tobacco stems be-
tween the pots help to keep aphis away.
By October they want full sunlight and
a house of 50 deg.; that is for early ones,
a lower temperature for the others.

Smilax

Why not devote at least a part of a
bench to Smilax? Every florist can use
the out strings during the Winter months,
and those located in the country have
plenty of occasion to appreciate being
able to have a supply on hand when an
order is to be filled quickly. Well estab-
lished 2% in. stock, planted out now on a
bench, allowing from Sin. to lOin. between
the plants, will be ready to cut from by
Fall, and a second crop can be grown
from the same plant. You should have
at least 6ft. of headroom and make use
of a well drained soil. Fill the bench

with soil, and before you plant, put the
wires and twine up. It is a mistake to
let that go until later on. The man who
doesn't grow Smilax manages to get along
without it, but if you have a good supply
and you retail the stock you grow, not a
bit of it need go to waste, for there are
all kinds of use for this green, and espe-
cially when making up design work. There
is nothing better to use for outlining a
pillow, wreath, cross or other so-called set
piece. It covers well and saves stemming
other green. You can also use it for
winding around the handles of cut flower
baskets or table decorations.

Cleaning Up

The older the houses are and the longer
you grow stock in them the more is it
necessary to conduct a thorough house
cleaning each year. There is nothing of
greater benefit whenever it is possible
than to clean a house out on top and be-
low the benches. Remove everything in it
and let it dry out for a couple of weeks.
When this can't be done, remove every
bit of rubbish, and after the benches are
repaired, apply a heavy coat of fresh, hot
whitewash on the inside of the benches.
With each year there comes an increase
of plant diseases and insect pests, and to
have a clean house is the very best pre-
ventive. You can't clean up properly
except a house is empty, and with most
retail growers this happens only once a
year. Eight now, after the bedding stock
has left, one should get at it; another
month and the benches begin again to be
filled up. Clean up, repair, whitewash
and paint; get all of this work out of
. the way; the quicker the better. No
other work just now is of greater im-
portance. Clean up and paint up. You
feel better and so will the plants.

Blue Flowers for Cutting

We have had a great many calls for
blue flowers this season; can you suggest
any suitable for cutting? — C. R. C, Pa.

— We assume you refer to both indoor
and outdoor crops. The supply of blue
flowering plants for the Spring months is

Pot-bound 'Mums

The more pot-bound a Chrysanthemum
plant is when you bench it, the longer
it will take to become established. To
maintain for such stock a wet soil in the
benches is bound to have bad effects.
Many florists, busy with their bedding
stock, have no time to shift or look after
the small 'Mums; they are left to remain in
2in. or 21.^ in. pots weeks longer than they
should, and such plants must receive
careful attention after being benched.
Examine the soil each morning and if at
all moist, don't apply water, rather keep
them a little on the dry side until they
start to make new growth. The richer
your soil the more careful you must be,
for Chrysanthemums, when once stunted,
are like many other plants we grow under ,
glass, hard to get back into shape again.
Even if you do, you lose valuable time.
Go easy with the watering at the start.
Spray all you want to, but prevent the
soil from being too wet. When the soil
is once full of roots there is hardly any
danger from overwatering, but there is
now.

Carnations, Early Housing

With the florist who devotes a consid-
erable part of his establishment to the
growing on of bedding stock. Carnations
frequently have to make room for Ge-
raniums, Cannas or Salvia, while still pro-
ducing good flowers. With him early
housing is important, for he should be
able to cut long stemmed flowers in early
Fall and during Winter. You can't ex-
pect long stems on plants housed a month
or so, but if benched in early July, and
the plants are in good shape by the middle
of September, fair sized stems and flow-
ers can be had; so it pays to get ready

not particularly abundant, more so since
Qu. 37 prevented the importation of
Scillas siberica, nutans and campanulata,
Chionoxda, bulbous Iris, etc. You can,
however, now obtain home grown Iris
tingitana and the Spanish and Dutch
types. Iris stylosa, too, is early but not
bulbous, while the various herbaceous Iris
provides many blue shades.

At the moment, flowers embracing blue
shades, many of them raisable from seed,
that occur to us are: Hyacinths, Cine-
rarias, Primula sinensis. Delphinium, both
tall and dwarf. Lupins, Lace Flower
(Trachymene easrulea), Aquilegia, Agera-
tum, Forgetmenot, Sweet Peas, Anemone
St. Brigid, Petunia Elk's Pride, Asters,
annual and perennial, Pansiee, Salvia
patens, Schizanthus, Verbena, Violet,
Viola eornuta. Scabious, annual and pe-
rennial. Cornflower, Gladioli, Mertensia,
Phlox, Statiee, Galega, Campanula of
sorts, Veronica, Lavender, Centaureas and
Stocks.

These would flower over a long season,
and many could be flowered early under
glass.

Treatment of Lilac Cuttings

Can you say what is the best way to
handle Lilac cuttings about ready to be
taken from the sand; strongly rooted.
—A. C, N. Y.

— We assume these have been rooted in
a frame or on a bench and this being so, it
would be far too risky to plant outdoors
direct as the foliage carried would wilt
and stop all further root movement. Shift
into small pots using good loamy soil and
pack close in a shaded frame. Keep close
and moist until established, then give air
and harden as rapidly as possible. If
for forcing purposes, they may either be
kept in pots or planted out; the latter is
easier, although pot grown Lilacs are
often favored. If planted out, keep well
cultivated and watered if necessary until
they get ahold. After treatment is sim-
ply a matter of further transplanting and
pinching until the size wanted. Perhaps a
grower of Lilacs may like to add further
suggestions on the handling of Lilacs from
the cutting to the flowering stage.

to house early. Prepare now to do it,
get the benches into shape, have the soil
ready and get it into the benches by the
hrst of July. It won't hurt to be inside.
You can, with the help of the hose, get
It into the very best shape for planting.
Let a crop of weeds come up before you
plant or use the hoe to work it over if it
should be in need of it. You can't start
too early, but you can be too late. If
the plants are large enough, house them
early; get flowers on long stems early;
then when ne.xt Spring you have to throw
the plants out, you will feel as if they
had paid for themselves. You can't do
it with such as were housed in October.

Early Freesias

You may not want to plant your Free-
sias before the middle or end of August,
but you can't let the ordering of the bulbs
go until that time. That is if you want
large sized ones, the kind it is best to
use for early forcing. Locate what you
want and order now, and enough of them.
Freesias, even when handled on a small
scale, are one of the best paying crops
the retail florist can grow, and with just
a little bit of management he can cut
flowers from Christmas on until Easter.
Only you want the large sized bulbs for
early use, and make use of the smaller
ones for later flowering. The more peo-
ple see of Freesias the better they like
them, and with the many beautiful col-
ored sorts we have now, even the small
grower with but little space, and not able
to grow Carnations sucessfully, can handle
Freesias in bulb pans, pots or flats, a,nd
from the middle of January on have a
steady supply of flowers coming along, for
all of which he will find good use. Plant
early, grow cool and allow plenty of room
between the plants; that makes for suc-
cess.

Saving Pansy Seed ind Other
Things

My Pansies are forming large quan-
tities of seed pods. How shall I handle
same and dry and clean it for sale? Is
lime good for Pansies, Alters and Gera-
niums? Would there be any advantage
in rooting Geranium cuttings now? My
stock plants are in the field and I want
to raise as much stock as possible. — N. E,.,
Delaware.

We assume that your Pansies are the
selected plants; if the leavings from your
sales, natlurally the poo,restj the seed
won't be worth saving as the deteriora-
tion from poor flowers is most rapid.
Watch the pods and, at the first sign of
bursting, start picking. Go over the
plants daily, especially in hot weather and
pick every pod that has a bloated appear-
ance. A little experience will tell you
when they are just right. Don't wait for
pods to go brown, or you will lose much
seed. Lay the pods in boxes or trays and
stand in an aii'y shed or even in the open
where there is some shade. Cover the
boxes with muslin or the seed will be fly-
ing as the pods burst and curl. There ia
little thrashing, wanted; stirred about
most of the seed drops out. If put in a
smallish bag and beaten with a stick no
seed will remain in the pods. Sift through
a fine sieve and afterward tip a little seed
in a metal dish; gently toss it and softly
blow at the same time; this will take out
any chaffy matter and leave a clean sam-
ple. Ripe, sound seed is heavy and will
stand a fair amount of blowing. Any that
looks whitish and blows away easily can
be judged as useless.

Practically all plants need lime and lack
of it for the plants named usually results
in disease or other troubles.

If there are some soft cuttings on the
Geraniums, by all means take themj it
will induce further breaks. If you • can
root them in a cool place, they will make
nice plants and, if prevented from bloom-
ing and stopped once or twice, will either
give you some Winter blooming stock or
additional propagative material.

ReFd Day on a Strawberry Farm

' On Wednesday, June 8, Tice C. Kevitt,
tte famous grower of Strawberries, and
producer of new varieties of hybrid
Wtt'arwberry plants, held his third annual
field- day on his berry farm at Athenia,
N-. J-

'■ Mr: Eevitt has beena grower of Straw-
berries, in fact, a Strawberry specialist,
for* more than 30 years, growing during
these years all the uptodate varieties as
they came upon the stage, both for the
produation of fruit ancLof plants. __Thus^
it happened that the year 1912 found Mr.
Kevjtt. growingf the then excellent" varie-
ties, William, Belt, Glen Mary, Ches-
peake, and one or two others. There was
a great crop of berries in June of that
yfear, so large indeed that a sufficiently
largef number of pickers could not be hired
to harvest the berries, the result laeing
that thousands decayed in the field. In
?.Tids'ummer the i>atlis were hoed out
clean between the matted beds, as is the
(justom by. late Summer as many as 30,-
000 seedlings festimatedl came up from
the seeds of the decayed berries in the
comparatively soft soil of these hoed out
paths. These were natural hybrids —
hybrids, mind j"ou, of no mean parentage,
but of the best then extant Strawberries.
The third season after this, namely in
1914, these hybrids bore , enough fruit so
tliat they could be examined for form,
size and color, production and flavor; of
the^e 84 varieties were selected as prom-
ising, and staked and labeled. These were
gT'Own for further testing for four years.
Out of these 84, in 1919, four varieties
were selected, which have since been
named Kevitt's Jubilee, Beal, Buckbee and
California.

In 1920, on Field Day, June 19, Buck-
bee, which is what is technically knovm
as' an imperfect flowered variety, was
shown growing in the matted row with
Jubilee, a perfect flowered variety (a
perfect flowered variety must always be
grown beside an imperfect to furnish pol-
len for the flowers of the latter) and
elicited from all who saw it unstinted
praise, because of its immense productive-
ness, and the size, form, color and fine
flavor of its berries. In the Autumn of
1920 and the Spring of 1921 plants of
this splendid Strawberrv were dissemi-
nated by William Hunt & Co., Inc., of
1-48 Chambers st., N. Y. City, who are
sole distributors for Mr. Kevitt's new
hybrid seedlings. '

As viewed on field day this year when
there is on an average in the Strawberry
growing sections of this country only a
30 per cent crop, one of the smallest ever
kho-RTi. Buckbee still upheld its reputation
for a Strawberry of supreme excellence in
size, color, shape and flavor, and as a
big producer of fruit, and gives every

promise of becoming one of the standard
varieties which will remain a long time
on the stage before it is superseded.

. The great attraction on the Kevitt farm
in Strawberries at our recent visit was
the splendid new hybrid Strawberry, Cali-
fornia, a perfect flowered variety. The
fruit of this new Strawberry, plants of
■which will be disseminated this Autumn
and nest Spring through William M.
Sunt & Co., Inc., made an extremely fa-
vorable impression upon every one who
viewed it and partook of its fruit. The
-berry of California is of largest size, firm, -
of a conical shape, a bright crimson color,
and has the flavor of Chespeake. The
plants are sturdy growers.

All visitors had an opportunity to "fill
irp" on the delicious berries of the two
varieties, California and Buckbee, and
their imanimous favorable verdict on these
two new vStrawberries was founded not
upon hearsay evidence, but upon seeing
and tasting.

The varieties. Jubilee and Beal, also
maintained again this year their reputa-
tion as fine Strawberries.

Pasadena, another new imperfect flow-
ered hybrid variety, which gives great
promise, was also seen. This will prob-
ably be heard from later.

AMsitors were given an opportunity to
see the bushes of the new everbearing
Kaspberry, White Oueen, set out in the
field this Spring. This is a robust, vig-
orous grower, with large canes and heavy
foliage, and showed fruit, as yet unripe,
both on its terminal and axillary
branches. The fruit as seen last year
was large and white, and was also of ex-
cellent flavor. This new Raspberry is being
dessiminated by William M. Hunt »& Co.

Among the visitors present were John
Grant, Tarrytown, N. Y.; H. Prideaux,
]Mt. Kisco, N. Y.; Thomas Leyden, Port
Washington, L. I.; Frank Wallington,
Great Neck, L. I.; Robert Spiers, Port
Waslungton, L. I.; Ernest Lundberg,i

Trade Conditions

June weddings and comencements
coupled with several large out of town
and local funerals have made this last
week a busy one for the florists. Wed-
dings have been numerous as well as have
graduations and commencements during
the last few days, and florists say that
this June promises to be the record wed-
ding month of several years. It has been

discovered that there are also to be 72
separate commencements this month, and
the van of what promises to be an unusual
amount of large orders has started in in
earnest.

Speaking of weddings, there have al-
ready been between 40 . and 50 of them,
and the orders received as a result have
been large. Roses feature in wedding bou-
quets and there is a wild scramble on
amon^ the florists for cut flowers of all
kinds. "Orchids galore," said one dealer,
and it seems that there is an imusual de-
..mand on ior orchids. Mixtures of Roses -
and orchids are especially good for the
bridal' bouquets, while the bridesmaid's
bouquet also contains orchids by the score.
This, it seems, it turning out to be an
orchid and Rose year, and it is said that
never before has there been such a per-
fect, bountiful supply of either.

In house decoration, ferns, palms and
greenstuffs are being featured. Daisies
are also in demand, and although there is
a plentiful, suppij', it is keeping tlie deal-
ers busy to stand up with the trade. A
great many rentals of ferns and palms
have been effected for the weddings as
well as the commencements. Daisy chains
have been made up by many of the local
florists and are considered a big number
in the wedding trade.

Fimerals have been numerous, and the
riiost of them large. Several large out of
to-w-n funerals have boosted business con-
siderably, and it is said that practically
every funeral in Louisville this last week,
and there were many, called for unusually
large orders both in cut flowers and floral
pieces.

Plant stock and bedding stock are prac-
tically dead; there is still a little moving,
but not enough to merit the holding or
re-buying of stocks. The majority of the
florists are at present getting rid of all
their plant stock, with the exception of a
few ferns, as quickly as possible.

The funeral of A. T. Hert was a big
stimulant to business last week; a niun-
ber of very large orders were placed by
both local and out of to^^Ti customers. It
is said that the F. T. D. wires were hot
with orders for flowers, both for the
casket and funeral and for the wife of the
deceased. Flowers for the burial it is
said were furnished from the gardens and
greenhouses of the famous man. It was
sentiment that was responsible for this,
and the majority of flowers sent by sym-
pathizers were delivered to Mrs. A. T.
Hert for her own condolence.
Nexrs Notes

The last meeting of the Kentucky
Society of Florists was held at the green-
houses of Anders Rasmussen, in New Al-
bany, Ind. After the meeting, the group
drove to the Silver Hills, the site of the
Rasmussen home, where they were enter-
tained with a lawn luncheon.

Recent word from Anchorage, Ky., tells
of the amendment of articles of corpora-
tion bv the Kentucky Orchard Co. and the
fixing of the capital stock at $39,000. Offi-
cials of the company are Harry G. Bed-
dinger, Maria V. Baddinger and G. H.
Lindenberger.

E. H. Watts, formerly with the Wolke
Red Cap Batteries Co., has recently taken
a new position with the Standard Floral
Co. He has been made Indiana repre-
sentative of the concern and will move to
Harrodsburg, where he will make Ms
headquarters at once. '

The Sunday closing regulation, as affect-
ing Louisville florists, will go into effect
on the first Sunday in July. August
Baumer closed his shop some time ago
and is now taking care of his fqi^er
Sunday church trade, late Saturday, ^kpn-
ing. From the time of the first clossbg,
the florists have notified their pat:^ns
that any orders intended for Sunday iniist
be secured late Saturday night, for th^re
will be no Sunday business done at all
during the months of July and August^

Scotch Pansies

In The Exchange, issue of May 21,
you have an article under the subject'^lpf
■'Thouglits on the Pansy." In this article
you state the quality of Scotch Pansies.
Kindly let me know if you know of aToy
particular firm in Scotland that is re-
liable, and from whom one could procure
seed.— L. G., Pa.

— Dobbie & Co., Edinburgh, and John
Forbes, Hawick, N. B., are Scottish cop.-
cerns that specialize in named Pansies
and seed. R. H. Bath Ltd., Wisbech,
Eng., are also noted for their fine strain
of fancy Pansies.

Chrysanthemums Outdoorsin S. C.

A few pointers on 'Mum culture for
flowering in November and December
would be appreciated. We are free from
frost danger, but generally cover "^^
cheesecloth to keep off hea^'y dews. i*er-
haps some of your Southern readers can
offer suggestions — R. M., S. C.

Will any reader oblige? To us, the
proposition seems a fairly easy one.
Treated as if under glass and /protected
fi-om mitch dampness when opening, we
imagine good blooms could be raised.

Grape Culture Extending^ --'

According to California reports, no less
than two and one quarter million Grape
vines have been planted in ^Stanilaus
County, Calif., during the present year.
This fact, the tremendous displays of
Raisins in even the small grocery stores,
and the open exhibits of copper ware of
peculiar design in hardware stores, to say
nothing of the Hops and malt displays,
suggests some intimate, yet unapparcnt
connection. Certainly, we see no more
Raisin bread than of yore; we are not
aware that the kerosene of the preseni
day necessitates a new pattern oil can
of costly make, nor have heard that Hop
pillows are in great request or that malt
syrup is used in cookery more than for-
merly. With Gi-apes, Hops and Barley
culture extending rapidly, and a cor-
respondingly increased output of glass
bottles, while sheet glass is curtailed,
tempts us to call in Sherlock Holmes; the
mystery is beyond our abilities. W.

IIOEVER worked out
that program for tlie
coming A. A. N. con-
veutlon certainly Ijnew liow
to get togetlier for discussion

a bunch of interesting, timely

and important subjects. If the members
present do tliem justice, immense good
ouglit to result. However, wliereas the
problems to be brought up there hare to
do more especially with organized nur-
serymen, the ones I want to discuss briefly here are
more those of the individual nurseryman; problems
that each individual may be called upon to solve for
himself without the advice or support of an organiza-
tion to back him up.

At the same time, let me
suggest right now, that it
would be to the advantage of
nurserymen, one and all, if
they made a point of infor-
mally conferring together
more often about the details
of their work, large and
small, the details that may
make a big diflference in re-
sults secured and prestige
gained for the whole industry.

It is my experience that
most nurserymen — most of
the bigger, more successful,
more progressive ones, any-
way— are ready at practically
any time to help out a col-
league with the benefit of
their advice or experience.
This is only right, for there
Is too much educational work
to be done among the public,
too much preaching of the gos-
pel of planting, too much
evangelical teaching in the
cause of more natural floral
and arboreal beauty about
American homes — upon all of
which depends the successfxil
future of the nursery business
■ — to excuse narrow, selfish
antagonism and jealous com-
petition between the members
of the trade. It is that aloof-
ness of the individual, that
self-sufficient Indifference to
the welfare or 111 fortune of
the "other fellow" that holds
back any industry or body of

men that had within It a big comrnon purpose ; given
mutual Interest, friendly contact and constructive co-
operation, and In time the most roseate hopes of the
happiest optimist can usually be realized. After all,
it Is just such a unified, constructive purpose for
which the American Association of Nurserymen
stands. Let us hope that its members in thought
and action will enable It to fulfill the destiny sought
for it by Its well wishers and supporters.

Who Pays for Guaranteed Replacements?

But that isn't , what 1 started out to talk about —
namely, some of the problems of the individual nur-
seryman— such, for instance, as that of guarantees
and replacements. What plan. In these days of high
prices for everything, is likely to prove fairest for
both nurseryman and customer In the matter of mak-
ing good stock that fails? In other words, what can
you do along this line to produce the greatest amount
of future business and good will with the least toll
on present day profits?

I have before me a catalog which states that "We
guarantee all plants from our nurseries to grow satis-
factorily or replace free. Transportation and plant-
ing of replaced trees borne by purchasers." That
sounds equable enough on general principles, but I
understand, and can well believe, that it might easily
arouse surprised resentment in the case of a large
tree order subjected to a sudden streak of ill fortune.

Some Scattered Thoughts About
Some Nursery Problems

Of course, the average purchaser would hardly object
to paying shipping and other incidental expenses on
a replacement of herbaceous perennials or shrubs or
small trees of almost any sort; nor, for that matter.

plants are obviously at home
and established. In addition
to being good for the plants,
this will also strengthen the
bonds between the nursery-
man and his customers.

The Drainage Problem in Large
Tree Planting

Another problem that sometimes has a
marked effect on profits, but one that has
do with methods than policies, is that of
provisions for the larger types of nursery

A New England homestead surrounded by Elms, Maples, Oaks, and other noble trees, which were
moved onto the grounds after a comprehensive system of tile drains had^been laid.

would the nurseryman ask him to, in all probability.
But when it comes to the digging, moving and setting
of a second tree to replace one that may have cost
from $50 to $250 or more, the labor cost item may well
be a subject of serious consideration by both parties.
The nurseryman can claim, with justice, that in sup-
plying a new tree of any such value he Is doing all
that can possibly be expected of him— assuming, of
course that the loss of the first tree was in no way
attributable to careless handling or Inherent weakness
of the specimen. On the other hand, the buyer can
claim that he paid for a tree set in his grounds, and
also for a guarantee, with no qualifying statements,
that it would live and grow satistactorily, and that
it is not his business to pay for moving and planting
whether of the first tree or the tenth. The arguments
sound logical in both cases and, indeed, they both
have firm, logical foundations. In a sense the crux
of the matter seems to rest upon the decision of the
nurseryman as to how far he is willing to extend his
guarantee. If there is any reasonable doubt that it
can be lived up to in the case of any particular kind
of tree or set of conditions, it is hardly fair to enter
into an arrangement whereby the purchaser may have
to bear a good share of the replacement cost and In-
convenience. Of course, one way to reduce the risk
to the minimum is for the nurseryman to keep a con-
stant watch on every large tree planting he makes,
and give all necessary care and treatment until the

more to
drainage

stock. A nurseryman who has won considerable suc-
cess with this line as a specialty recently told me of
an experience that was of
nmcb value to him in the
earlier stages of his work. A
well-to-do elderly gentleman —
the retired president of a big
manufacturing concern — de-
cided to move some large trees
onto his- home grounds in
Connecticut. He discussed the
operations with my friend the
nurseryman, rented a big tree
mover, located his trees and
set about moving them, taking
complete charge of the work
himelf. The ettect— for a
time — was all he could have
wished, but after a brief
struggle with some hidden
enemy, the trees drooped and
died, to the very last one. Fol-
lowed then further confer-
ences, investigations and con-
jecture, with the result that
the optimistic old gentleman
decided that the trouble was
poor drainage. Thereupon he
hauled out every dead tree —
no slight task, in Itself, laid a
comprehensive system of tUe
drains so as to^ Include every
location he had- chosen for a
specimen, and set out to make
an entire new planting of
Elms, Maples, Oaks and other
noble trees. The correctness
of his deductions was proved
by the fact that this time
every tree lived and thrived,
producing in a short time the
admirable effect shown in the
accompanying illustration —
which by any other method would have been a matter
of a generation or more. In addition, the lesson was
not wasted upon the nurseryman who had been an
interested observer, for says he, ever since then I
have followed the practice of providing ample drain-
age for every big tree I set, unless the site Is one of
sand or deep, loose porous soil In which there is no
possible chance of standing water accumulating.

Here then, is a practical hmt that may often prove
of value in avoiding the necessity of just such replace-
ments as we have previously spoken of. In this case
it is clear that a drain in the ground in advance, espe-
cially where there is any sign of stiff clay or hardpan,
IS worth more than any amount of careful setting,
supporting, pruning and watering of the trees there-
after. And if big, sturdy forest trees are so suscep-
tible to injury from wet feet, how much more response
and vigorous growth can we expect from smaller
shrubs, evergreens, fruit trees and fruit bushes that
are similarly provided with the most congenial loca-
tion possible?

Important Conventions

The American Seed Trade Association and the
Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' Association meet in
convention at St. Louis, Wednesday, June 22. At date
convention at St. Louis, Wednesday,_June_22. Pro-
gram will be found on page 1421. ■ , •-<,;.'

The Southern Seedsmen's Association meets in con-
vention at Memphis, opening its first session June- 21.
The program of this meeting was printed on page
1.314, issue of June 4.

The 46th Convention of the American Association of
Nurserymen opens at Chicago on Wednesday, June 22,
continuing until the 24th. The program for this
meeting has been published in full in ou» issue of
June 4, page 1309. i

It is really unfortunate that the conventions of three
such important bodies as these should occur so closely
one to the other. It is much to be hoped that com-
mittees from all three associations will confer this
year with the result that in the future the several
meetings will be held a few days apart, one from the
other. There are many who would like to be present
at all three of these conventions. In the matter of
the consideration of legislation alone these meetings
should be separated because oftentiiiiie!S measures' ate.i-
introduced into State legislatures or into the Con-
gress which affect both the nurseryman and the seeds-
man; united action on these matters cannot well be
obtained unless one association can be posted in ad-
vance on what action the other has considered.

While the seed and nursery industries of the coun-
try are two entirely separate lines of business they
converge closely some distance along the trail. Eeally,
what is to the interest of one is to the interest of the
other; seeds do not have much call where the nur-
seryman is not favored, and where the nurseryman's
goods are to be found almost as surely the products
of the seedsman will be there represented as well.

Abou Ben Adhem Club

We were greatl.r surprised, but at the same time
higlily honored, at the receipt of a certificate of mem-
herj^hip in the Abou Ben Adhem Club, the foundation
of which is based on the universal "Garden Beauti-
ful" idea, constituted for the expression and expan-
sion of Light, Love and Liberty ; the club's watchword
being Progress, and its aim Perfection.

In an accompanying letter, Patrick Tyrone III, Gar-
den Beautiful, San Quentin, Calif., after a personal
expression of thanks for what The Exchange has
done in making known the "Garden Beautiful" and its
ideals, makes this statement : "Some of the most prom-
inent people in California and many prominent per-
sons in other States are members of this little club,
and they all seem interested in looking forward to the
results which will be obtained by the officials of San
Quentin in working out the salvation of men through
kindness."

As to ourselves we acknowledge our indebtedness
to Bessie Boston (Mrs. Elizabeth Lymbery) in bring-
ing to our attention the garden work which is being
conducted within the walls of one of the most notable
penal institutions in this country, namely that of San
Quentin, Calif. In making this work public to the
best of its ability, the editor was of the belief that
equal opportunity exists to confer the same benefits
in many other of our large prisons, particularly those
in which men are sentenced to long terms.

It would be a notable accomplishment for the So-
ciety of American Florists if its officials would lend
■"lEeir' personal countenance and that of the society In
furthering the idea of flower gardens within our
prisons. It would entail no expense on the part of
the society worth mentioning, and results to these
stricken humans would undoubtedly lead not only to
much good for them but as well strengthen our slogan
by further "Saying it with Flowers." The ultimate
results could be in but one direction — that of the
increased cultivation of flowers and plants.

We salute the members of the Abou Ben Adhem
circle, all of whom are unknown to us with the ex-
ception of Mrs. Elizabeth Lymbery, with the hope and
trust that their work, so happily inaugurated, will
carry ' on until every prison throughout the country
shall have its fiower garden — not outside its walls,
but accessible to and readily seen by every prisoner
\^dthin.

Massachusetts Horticultural Society

Exhibition of Tropical Ferns

A grand exhibition of tropical ferns will be held
by the society in its horticultural hall, Boston, Mass.,
Sept. 22 to 25, 1921. The schedule has been published
and copies thereof may be obtained from Secretary
William P. Rich, 300 Massachusetts ave., Boston,
Mass. Some excellent prizes are offered which cer-
tainly indicates a keen competition in the some 65
classes provided.

The Big Bulb Show, March 1922

An advance list has been sent out so that intending
exhibitors may be informed of the varieties for which
prizes are offered and provide themselves with the
bulbs necessary for this competition. Six thousand
dollars in prize money is offered.

Here again the prizes are exceedingly liberal, eom-
mencini; with first prize of gold medal and $300, and
second prize of $300, for a Spring bulb garden to cover
500 sq. ft. For a Spring bulb garden covering 300
sq. ft. first prize is gold medal and $200 ; second prize,
$200; this class open to amateurs only.

Schedules of both of the above will probably be
published by us next week. Meantime copies may be
had from Secretary Rich.

Advice Re. Purchase Tickets to Washington

350 Identification Certificates Must Be Issued on

Transportation to Washington for Benefit of

Fare and One-half for Round Trip Ticket

A recent communication from the Trunk Line Asso-
ciation to Secretary John Young explains that an
identification certificate must be secured from him
previously to starting on their journey by those who
wish to travel to the S. A. F. and O. H. convention,
Washington, Aug. 16, 17 and 18, on the basis of fare
and one-halt for a round trip ticket. Without such
identification certificate it will not be possible for
members to secure their tickets on the above basis.
The concession applies in all territories where the
following passenger lines operate: Trunk Line, Cen-
tral, South Eastern, Western and South Western. It
is further pointed out that one identification certifi-
cate will suffice for a member and dependents of his
or her family. The Trunk Line Association mentions
one exception in connection with the plan, that of the
Southeastern passenger territory, which will furnish
its own certificates to be asked for at the time of
purchasing tickets.

Simmered' down the story is this: If you are plan-
ning to attend the coming S. A. F. and O. H. conven-
tion, you should write to Secretary Young for your
identification certificate. The necessity for this action
on your part lies in the fact that the Trunk Line As-
sociation offers the rebate on condition that 350 meiti-
bers of the S. A. F. are in attendance at Washington
from points outside that city, and the number of
calls for .^identification certificates will determine
whether members will have the benefit of the rebate
which represents considerable saving for all located
long distances from Washington. Nearby members,
wbose own saving wUl not be nearly as great, should
nevertheless, make a point of getting their identifica-
tion certificates so as to enable the long distance
travelers to obtain the concession.

Flower Shows

Why Do People Neglect Them ?

THE ■ Worcester (Mass.) Telegram, May 29, con-
tained a lengthy illustrated article concerning
the apathy with which the good people of Wor-
cester receive the regular monthly flower shows staged
by the Worcester Horticultural Society. We have not
space to quote extensively from the article, but the
big headlines across the eight column page are suflS-
cient uidication that some influential person has in-
duced the Worcester Telegram to give the local Hor-
ticultural Society • the measure of support it needs,
viz., publicity with, a big P. "Worcester's Unappre-
ciated Free Shows. What costs nothing is worthless
is attitude toward flower exhibits. Remarkable free
exhibits of flowers and fruits by Worcester Horticul-
tural Society attract few — Library of 3700 volumes
has few readers. If ringside seat prices were charged
and tobacco smoke substituted for odor of Roses and
Lilies, what a crowd there'd be." Such are the
headlines in big type and it the people of Worcester
do not jump to their opportunities, it will be largely
due to a discontinuation of the publicity so ably
started by the Telegram,.

We cannot believe that the people of Worcester dif-
fer from other members of the human race, but unless
the promoters of horticultural shows persistently keep
pushing and everlastingly talk about what is being
done, their efforts will only be appreciated .by those
who have an Inherent or natural interest in flowers.
Offhand, we would say that not one per cent of the
general public have a natural aptitude for gardening ;
the rest have to be educated up to it. The present de-
velopment of the horticultural shows at Boston and
the large number of people they attract would never
have been reached,' had the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Society contented ItseU with shining its light
only before its own members. The promoters or
originators of horticultural societies and shows all
have to begin in a small way and, if they make no
solid effort, they cannot hope to develop. If one
dives into the history of horticultural societies, we
find that all began small and that only through edu-
cating the public have the big ones become big. The
people of Great Britain are said to be a nation of
gardeners; the flower shows held there regularly, are
considered to be more numerous and more strongly
patronized than anywhere in the world. But we
may safely assume that the great floral galas like
those of Shrewsbury, York, Wolverhampton, etc., etc.,
which attract anything up to 50,000 in three days or
the small shows held in almost every village, are the
outcome of gradual development and persistent effort
on the part of a few. It is these shows and the spirit
of competition they engender that has made the
British people great gardeners. The Royal Horti-
cultural Society with its upward of 15,000 members
and a first class flower show every fortnight through-
out the year, has only become possible through pub-
licity and personal effort on the part of those pos-
sessing a natural gUt for gardening or flower study.
The main bulk of the members and the people wlio
visit its shows have, we may assume, gradually de-
veloped a taste for flowers through the influence of
others until they, in their turn, become passionate
devotees of flora and so carry on the gospel.

One is prone to think that the commercial side
of horticulture has been too strongly put forward in
years past and our people have had less prompting,
in the direction of home gardening, but we
believe that this condition no longer exists.
It merely remains for the trade to support the hor-
ticultural societies and help to develop among the
people, a love for flower shows, which, in its train,
will bring about a greater demand for all kinds of
garden stock. The multitude of small towns through-
out the country should all be capable of running a
flower show: we see no real reason why they should
not be combined with a local sports gala or fete as
is so general on the other side of the Atlantic. The
uncertainty of the weather might be advanced against
a show under canvas, but this argument holds every-

ami Illinois iiave been received, Ihe latter exhibits

and, according to Ihe present (Uitlook, there is an ex-
ccllcnl pruspecl for a good show. Aud it ouglit to be;
the Iroiiblous lina's wiiich did so much to put tlie bralvC
upon liorlicullure the world over are past, so that most
people are ]niw devoliug themselves to their gardens
with greater vigor than ever. The many new ad-
vanced types of Sweet Peas tlnit have been introduced
iu recent years render this popular annual of tlie great-
est value: we might venture t(] lui/.ard tliat the novel-
lies of tlic past two or three seasons, show greater
advance iajth in quality and coloring than in the years
preceding the war. Even in England, it is conceded
that some of the most recent novelties are remarkable ;
experts writing of the recent Chelsea Show revel in
superlatives regarding the newer varieties. We may
reasonably expect that novelties will not be lacli-
ing at the New York exhibition, but those who have
not ventured to try out some new sorts, should not
hesitate to enter in the list as competitors. Seven of
the classes are open, the remaining 32 classes being
confined to gardeners and amateurs. The latter may
lie depended upon to compete strongly and it only
requires a fair measure of support from the trade to
ensure a good exhibition.

As has been stated many times, until the trade
realizes the value of exhibiting, competitive or non-
competitive, there will never be a full development of
horticulture and all it stands for in the way of busi-
ness, comparable to what this great country is de-
serving of. Seedsmen particularly should support
the Sweet Pea Show, for they, more than any^ will
benefit by the increased demand for seed.

Anyone who watched the enormous interest shown
in the .Sweet Pea exhibits at the great show last
March, and the keenness with which people were buy-
ing seed, must have been convinced that the Sweet
Pea is a flower of greatest importance. Given a good
show and a fair amount of advertising, there is every
reason for supposing that the Sweet Pea wUl at-
tract large numbers of new devotees. Go. to it, and
make the most of the opportunity. Secretary Viek at
205 EUwood ave., Newark, N. J., has still room for
every entry that may come along.

American Sweet Pea Society

Annual Show

A week from present date, viz., June 25, 26, the thir-
teenth annual exhibition of Sweet Peas will be held
in the Museum of Natural History, Central Park,
N. Y. This event being a migratory one, it is up
to the growers of New York and adjoining States to
make ever.y effort to ensure the show being at least
equal to others held in other cities in the past. The
superstitious may perhaps be inclined to think that
it is unfortunate that this city should be held respon-
sible for the thirteenth exhibition, but for this very
reason, everyone who is interested in Sweet Peas
should do his or her utmost to disprove the supposed
ill omen that centers around this number. Unlike the
man who required size thirteen shoes and who sought
to guard against ill luck by asking for two pairs of
six and one half, the A. S. P. S. Committee perforce
had to face the necessity of getting past the thirteenth
anniversary in a legitimate manner. Maybe for this
reason they enlisted the services of an old campaigner
like E. C. Vick who, as secretary, is planning to make
the show the best of the series so far held. Even the
best of secretaries, however, cannot make a show un-
less those who grow Sweet Peas back up his efforts
by staging every entry they possibly can.

It goes without saying that Secretary Vick Is
hustling around these days ; entries from Rhode Island

lis o|ierutious, he can summarily stop growing those
items which do not pay and proceed to grow others
in which his likelihood for success will be greater.

Toledo Society

A splendid meeting of tills society was held on
AVednesday evening, .lune 8, at the greeuiiouses of
Scliraniin Urns, .\Incli ciithnsiasm was exjn'csscd on the
future possibilities of this organization. It was voted
lo liold a meeting .June 24, immediately after tlie
Columbus meeting, to discuss plans for a membership
campaign in Toledo and vicinity and to carry the work
of the organization as outlined at Columbus.

National Flower Growers
Association

Ohio District

At the meeting which is to be held at Columbus,
June 21, H. P. Knoble will talk on "Cost Systems for
the Grower." Mr. Knoble but a few years ago, in
connection with other men, took over a place in
Cleveland which was much run down. Through the
application of modem business methods he has con-
verted this business from a losing to a profitable one
and ascribes his success to this : Immediately upon
taking control he installed a cost system so as to
fully understand where he was at. This system is
now working so correctly that he can practically tell
at any time the cost of any plant in the greenhouses
from the time it was first put in the ground to
date. He has revised his cost system with the assis-
tance of experts so that his concern now possesses
such accurate methods that he can tell at a glance
just what each branch of his greenhouse produces
and its possible ■ profit or loss.

Mr. Knoble will illustrate his lecture with the
forms and charts which his firm has in daily use and
will show how this system can be applied by the
average grower.

Iq addition to the notice given this meeting on
page 1362, issue June 11, other subjects to be dis-
cussed are : "Cooperative Purchasing of Supplies ;"
"Standardizing of the Grading of Cut Flowers and
Plants ;" "Legislative Protection ;" Credits and other
matters of vital importance. Committees will be ap-
pointed to supervise and carry on this work through-
out the year.

At every possible opening The Tloeists' Exchange
has pressed with considerable energy the importance
of a cost system for growers. The older generation of
florists, principally because they did not have to come
in contact with the keenest of modern business meth-
ods and, further, because they were almost uniformly
.successful, could not see the necessity of bothering
themselves with cost systems. Today, however, the
situation is quite different and, without a cost sys-
tem, a business of any magnitude whatsoever, even
if successful, cannot reap that full measure of suc-
cess which the cost system wUl enable it to attain ; on
the other hand. If a man is losing money he cannot
place his finger on the loss or the cause of the loss
unless he has the correct figures to be guided by. The
cost system gives him this and, through watching

Gustave Schneider

Gustave Schneider, one of Springfield's (O.) lead-
ing florists, died at his home, 1407 South Center Boule-
vard, June 3. Trading under the title of the Schneider
Floral Co., he controlled a number of greenhouses.
Ill health had dogged him for several years.

Formerly affiliated with the Springfield Floral Co.
he began operations on his own account some fourteen
years ago. Born in Bremen, O., he migrated to Spring-
fleld twenty years ago. He is survived by his widow,
one daughter, two brothers and a sister.

D. B. Clark

A highly respected citizen, D. B. Clark, the old es-
tablished florist, died at his home at 436 West Ever-
green ave, Du Bois, Pa., June 4. The deceased had
been in business for 40 years and had always taken
an active interest in local affairs.

Born on a farm at Reynoldsville 73 years ago, he
displayed an early interest in horticulture. He com-
menced operations with one greenhouse in 1881. Mr.
Clark never married but he leaves to mourn his death
a hosts of friends and three brothers and two sis-'
ters.

Samuel A. Underwood

It was a shock to the trade to hear of the sudden
death of Samuel A. Underwogd, son of Capt. Arthur
A. Underwood, florist of Cheyenne, Wyo. Young Un-
derwood shot himself Thursday night, June 9, believed
to have been the result of a psychological impulse.
He was 23 years of age, saw service in the World's
War and re-entered college thereafter. He retiirned
to Cheyenne about a month ago, helping his father in
the store. He was buried with Masonic honors Sun-
day afternoon, the funeral services taking place at' the
Wyoming consistory temple. Chas. F. Edgab.

H. J. Smith

H. J. Smith died at his residence at Spring Valleiy,
N. Y., on Friday, June 10, after a short illness. Mr.
Smith was well known as a grower of choice Peonies
and Carnations of quality. He was born in Worcester-
shire, Eng., in 1839, and so at the time of his death
was 82 years old. He came to the United States in
1894 and engaged in the florist business shortly after-
ward at Milbrook, N. Y., continuing there in the same
business until 1910 when he was engaged by R. fc
Conklin as superintendent at Rosemary Farm, Hunt-
ington, L. I. In 1914 he purchased the Stowick Green-
houses at Spring Valley, N. Y.. where he continued
until the tirne of his death. Funeral services were,
held at the Episcopal church at Spring Valley, on
Monday, June 13. The interment was at Milbrook,
N. Y. on Monday afternoon. Mr. Smith is survived
by his widow, two sons and one daughter.

Mrs. Sarah Bennett Walker

Mrs. Sarah Bennett Walker, 3S57 Xavier St., Colo-
rado's most noted authority on wild flowers, died
Monday, June 6, after a brief illness from' pneumonia.
Mrs. Walker had been a collector and student of wild
flowers, particularly of the flowers of Colorado, for
many years, and her knowledge of the flora of the
mountain States won her recognition iu Switzerland,
France, India, and New Zealand.

At her home, she had gardens containing more than
•300 specimens of wild flowers. She was the winner
of a bronze medal offered by the World's Fair Asso-
ciation of Chicago for the best collection of wild
flowers. She was also given a medal by the Dry
Farming Congress.

Mrs. Walker came to Colorado from Kalamazoo,
Mich., thirty-five years ago. She was 61 years old
and is survived by two children, Prof. Dexter B.
Walker, Red Cliff, Col., and Mrs. Thomas M. Graham;
a sister, Mrs. M. B. Alrich and a brother, William
Bennett of Seattle. _Chas. F. Edgak.

has liad a marked effect in increasing
business and furthermore it has enabled
it to develop rapidly besides its cut flower
department its florists' supply and hardy
greens department.

We were pleased to note on Tuesday,
June 14, in the windows of many of the
retail flower stores of this city, the Ameri-
can flag or flags. We also noted this flag
in two wholesale establishments, namely
A. Le Moult, wholesale and retail florist,
and the Kervan Co., both located in W.
28th St.

The Greek-American Florists Associa-
tion is considering the matter of resum-
ing its annual outings and will probably
have one this year if it can find a suit-
able place for this purpose.

Philip F. Kessler, 55 W. 26th st., who
is tbe chief handler of Jacq. Roses in
their season in this city, reports that the
supply this year is much smaller than
usual. He is receiving about 12,000 a day.
These Roses, Mr. Kessler says, are selling
well and there has been a large demand
for them for school commencements.

Thomas Jackson, manager for the Cut
Flower Exchange, tells us that the daily
supply in the early morning market at
the Cut Flower Exchange, particularly in
miscellaneous flowers, is large indeed. The
demand, however, is not as brisk as those
who have stands in this ma;rket could
desire.

Walter Singleman, who for the last 15
years has been with J. J, Coan, the whole-
sale florist, and who has for several years
past been Mr. Coan's right hand man and
head salesman, has engaged in the retail
florists business for himself at 262 Gra-
ham ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Single-
man has many friends and few, if any,
enemies, in the wholesale trade, and was
also popular with the retail buyers of
this city. The good wishes of all these
will go with him in his new venture.

The D. & D. Floral Co.. 584 Lexington
ave., at 51st st. have sold their business
to Harry Vizeris & Co., who took posses-
sion June 10.
Transportation to Wasliingtozi

The Pennsylvania Railroad advises
of the following one way fares in con-
nection with the coming S. A. F. and
0. H. convention: Ticket, New York to
Washington, $8.79; parlor car seat, $2.03.
These rates include surcharge and war
tax. As announced previously, the trans-
portation committee of the New York
Florists Club has arranged for special
parlor cars for members of the club and
their friends on a train leaving the Penn.
Terminal, Seventh ave. and 32d st., Mon-
day, Aug. 15, at 11.08 a.m., daylight sav-
ing time, arriving at Washington 4.30 in
the afternoon. This arrival at Washing-
ton in the afternoon of the day previous
to the opening of the convention will give
those who make up the party ample time
to get thoroughly settled for the three
busy days ahead.

Applications for parlor car seats should
be sent to Wm. Pedrick, Jr., Division Pas-
senger Agent, Penn. System, 263 Fifth
ave., New York City. Today is none too
early for the sending in of applications,
and members are requested to act prompt-
ly. (See editorial pages for particulars
of the Identification Certificate plan,
whereby round trip tickets will cost at
the rate of fare and one-half.)

The Market

June 14. — There are medium large
arrivals of most kinds of staple stocks and
increasingly large arrivals of miscellane-
ous flowers in great variety and it is quite
evident that the , arrivals of many are
much larger than the present demand can
possibly absorb. This is especially true
of Delphinium, thousands of bunches of
which are coming into the market daily;
also of Sweet Peas and Gypsophila.

Am. Beauty Roses are in rather short
supply and are moving out slowly at 10c.
to 40c. each for special grade blooms; oth-
er gi^ades are fetching corresponding
prices. In other Roses, top grade blooms
are selling at from 3c. to 15c. each in gen-
eral, but Hadley is realizing 20c., Crusader
30c., and Key 30c. to 50c. No 2 grade
blooms are selling from SI to §2 per 100.

Carnations are in seasonably large sup-
ply, they are meeting with a sluggish de-
mand at §2 to $3 a 100 for select grades,
and §1 to $1.50 for other grades. Indeed
some left overs of poor quality are sell-
ing as low as 50c. a 100.
_ The medium supply of Cattleyas is mov-
ing fairly well at 35c. to Si and occasion-
ally S1.25 each for the variety Gigas. Lily
of the Valley and Lilies are meeting with
a moderate demand, (indeed we may say
of the latter a slow demand) the former
at U to $6 and the latter at S12 to S15
per 100.

The arrivals of the miscellaneous flow-
ers are very large and in addition to those
we enumerated in our last re\aew of the
market we noted this week Canterbury
Bells, Annual Poppies, Centaurea im-
perialis'and Candytuft. The supply of
Peonies includes some of the late varieties,
but is not large. There appears to be an
abundant supply of greens of all kinds.

These miscellaneous flowers and Peonies
and greens are meeting with a limited de-
mand at quoted prices.

Flag Day

Tuesday, June 14, was Flag Day
throughout the nation. This day was cele-
brated so heartily and fully and generally
in New York as to leave no doubt in the
minds of any one of this city's patriotism.
Its observance was on a far more liberal
scale than ever, since Flag Day was on
a far mor_e liberal scale than ever, since
Flag Day was inaugurated. On Tuesday
afternoon there was the presentation to
this city of a Liberty pole, put up in City
Hall Park -on the exact spot where the
original was erected in the days of the
Revolution. It was an exact duplicate of
the original pole, even to the iron bands
in which the original was incased to pre-
vent it from being cut down by its
enemies. The main staff of this pole was
a tree from Oregon and the upper staff
from the woods of Maine.

Old Glory was flying from all the of-
ficial buildings and banks and a large
number of mercantile buildings and pri-
vate houses, not only on the principal
avenues and streets of this city, but
throughout the city in general. It was a
glorious sight which could not but arouse
in the citizens of New York that feeling
which Avas so well expressed by Sir Walter
Scott when he wrote:

"Breathes there a man with soul so dead.
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land."
On Monday of this week there was the
annual meeting of stockholders and di-
rectois of the Henshaw Floral Co., 43 W.
ISth St. President Henshaw tells us that
his company is much pleased with the
results of the year and that on the whole
business has been excellent. !Mr. Henshaw
also says that his company is well satis-
fied with its 18th st. market quarters and
that the change from the old to the new

business has continued in its usual course.
The round of commencements are about

to from now on except vacations and a
rest from the strenuous months just
passed.

There is very little in cut flowers of

usual Summer course. Gladioli are arriv-
ing in limited quantities and sell well;
Feverfew has been plentiful and prices
are somewhat lower than last week. As-
paragus is plentiful and not meeting with
such heavy demand.

Club Meeting

At the May meeting of the Florists
Club, held on June 13 the chief topic of
the evening was the coming show to be
held in the Fall. The recommendation
made to the club by the show commit-
tee was adopted and it was definitely
decided to hold a street parade on Oct.
15 and follow this opening wedge with
some live wire publicity work, and hold
an indoor show at Lehman's Hall during
the second week in November. The night
was warm and attendance light, so the
meeting adjourned at an early hour,
after the routine business had been dis-
posed of.

Notes of Interest

Stevenson Bros, have been cutting
a fine crop of their usually good Roses.
A bed of Premier just coming into bloom
looks good for this season of the year.
The greenhouses have all been repainted
and the entire place looks very neat.
They have added two new cottages on the
place for workers to occupy. . In their
location, the hou.«ing pioblem for those
employed on the place has been a difficult
one, but they have solved it by the erec-
tion of quarters directly on the grounds.

"Ned"* Stevenson claims to be fifty years
young; he claims 10 or 12 more than his
appearance calls for. He attributes his
activity to a great deal of athletic en-
deavor in his younger days and I'll ven-
ture to say he can set a pace now that
will make many a ■ younger man hustle
to keep step Avith him.

Isaac H. Moss has removed the two
greenhouses fronting on York Rd. and
will replace them with an addition to his
present office and further improve the
remaining space with an ornamental plant-
ing! His belief is the best way to ad-
vertise is by example. Showing others
how to keep grounds well planted and
attended is certain to attract business.

A new seed company, incorporated Dec.
15, 1920, and opening for business Feb.
15, 1921, kno^vn as the Thayer-Thomas Co.,
is located at 208 N. Eutaw st., nearby
Lexington market. Active members of
the firm are F. H. Thayer. J. A. Wade
Thomas and A. Frank Hills. The seed,
bulb and plant departments, which come
in contact with the florists, is under the
supervision of ]Mr. Hills, who has had 25
years experience in this particular line,
thirteen years of which were spent with
some of the best firms in England and
twelve years here. The new concern will
carry a full line in all whi(rh has to do
with the requirements of the florist and
market gardeners' trade.

Bob Kalliday

A recent visit to Robert Halliday
at his country cottage found him cheerful
and looking very well. He is somewhat
out of the city and has a very flne loca-
tion, which will be beneficial to him. His
last remarks upon parting were, "1 can't
meet all the boys like I could a few weeks
ago when I was traveling around, but
give them all my regards." Here they
are. William F. Ekas.

Tarrytown, (N. Y.) Hort. Society

This society held its Summer show on
June 10, in the Masonic Hall, and proved
to be one of the best shows the society i
has held. Competition in all the classes
was very keen, and the quality was ex-
cellent considering the long dry spell and
the cool nights we have had. Perennials
were in great variety, there being seven
entries in the class calling for six varie-
ties. Roses, both H. T. and H. P., were
very good. Strawberries and vegetables
were a feature.

The judges were Geo. Middleton, Wm.
Scott and H. NichoUs, their decisions
meeting with great approval. After the
judging, refresliments were served to all
present. The awards were as .follows:

The Market

June 14. — The market during the
past week was well supplied with every-
thing seasonable in cut flowers. There was
not a single item of any stock that was
not in excess of the demand. Warm wea-
ther has caused a large portion of it to
be poor in quality and unfit for shipping,
resulting in its disposal locally to depart-
ment stores and others who buy only when
the market is overloaded.

While there is a fair amount of ship-
ping, there is a falling off in this, as
there is much outdoor stock available this
month in nearly all the sections reached
by the Chicago wholesalers. There is,
however, always a certain class of stock
that has to be supplied from here no mat-
ter what the season may be. This applies
to orchids. Valley, Lilies and choice stock
in Roses, Carnations, Sweet Peas, etc.
There is always a demand for these in all
sections of the country, in Peony time, as
well as the long Gladioli period of the
Summer, and even in the height of the
Chrysanthemum season in Fall.

The supply of Roses continues larger
than was expected, as it was thought
there was such a heavy cut for Memorial
Day there would be a let up in the sup-
ply to follow. The best calculations, how-
ever, go by default sometimes, as in this
case, the Rose supply being still heavy.

While the Carnation season is prac-
ticaly off, there are a few growers who
have made special preparations for a
Summer cut, so that the market will at
no time be entirely devoid of a supply.

The Peony crop still maintains an im-
portant position on the market. Not so
much of its own importance as its inter-
ference with the marketing of other
stock. It is not, however, cutting its
usual figure this season, a large portion of
the stock having been injured by late
frosts. Stock that went into storage came
out in poor condition, which discouraged
to a large extent the placing of more in
storage. The result is that there is far
less in storage at this time than ever be-
fore during the Peony season. The best
Peonies are coming from northern grow-
ers, where the crops were not sufficiently
advanced to be hurt by late frosts. There
is, as well, a limited supply from local
growers who have some choice late bloom-
ing varieties, for which a good price is
always at command. Apart from this,
the big end of the stock is of poor quality
and irregular in price.

Gladioli are plentiful. Fine indoor
stock is offered all over the market, and
the outdoor crops from southern points
are coming in larger supply every week.

Delphinium is in good supply and meet-
ing with much favor from buvers. Corn-
flowers, Candytuft, Ten Week Stock Pyre-
thrum, Daisies and Lupins are freely
offered. The first of the Pond Lilies have
arived, as well as Cat Tails, Rushes and
other aquatic growths- of local ponds and
streams. New ferns have arrived. This
makes easier conditions on the green
market.

Ne-nrs from Aronnd

Ove Gnatt, La Porte, Ind., has re-
turned from a trip to Toronto, Canada,
and other sections in Ontario where he
found the florists in a prosperous condi-
tion.

There will not be another meeting of
the Chicago Florists Club until October
6, the July, August and September meet-
ings being called off. The October meet-
ing promises to be a notable one accord-
ing to Chairman Waters of the good of
the club committee. There will be a
stag banquet with appropriate entertain-
ment. Tickets will be $1 each and only a
limited number is to be sold.

The commissioners of the various park
boards have undertaken to lay out and
decorate the entrance to the Municipal
Pier for the Pageant of Progress Expo-
sition. Work has already beeun and, from
the amount of talent in landscape design-
ing and material at command for this
purpose controlled by the commissioners,
the public have reason to expect a dis-
play worthy of the occasion.

A. Lange says he is getting a good
share of wedding orders. He has attrac-
tive offerings in bridal flowers in the daily
papers, including natural Orange blossom.
While there is a satisfactory return of
business from this advertising, on the
whole, it is considerably short of what it

was a year ago. There is not so many
orders and they are generally smaller than
in June 1920.

Tickets are out for the annual banquet
and election of oificers of the Commercial
Flower Growers of Chicago at the Hotel
Randolph on Thursday evening, June 16.
There will be a short business meeting
after which a program of music and
specialties will be rendered by profes-
sional talent. Pres. Kohout, Peter Pear-
son, Otto Amling and August Poehlmann
has arranged the program. Tickets are
$2.50 each.

Purely a Iiocal Affair

Michael Fink, the popular Hern-
don St. florist who is also a member of
Lincoln Park Chapter, R. A. M., and a
constant advertiser in the monthly Bulle-
tin issued by the Chapter, was recently
drawn into an argument by the Chapter
wrecking crew, the Weiss man endeavor-
ing to ridicule his pretentions that a flo-
rist was the most scientific of men, while
Hairless Phile offered his ivory dome
as a fertile field for demonstration pur-
poses. How to overcome the handicap
Companion Fink labored under was a
problem he asked the Bulletin editor to
solve. Willing to be as fair as the re-
sources permitted, the draft of an ar-
ticle for publication in the Bulletin was
suggested and that sufficient time be put
on it to make it convincing. A couple of
meetings after. Companion Fink, with a
grin, handed the following statement say-
ing: "I got a friend Jim Morton, who is
a member of the Chicago Florists Club to
do for me what I could not do for myself,
and here it is, up to the regular Bulletin
standard." Whether it is or not is an
open question. The Bulletin then reproduces
the monolog "Why is a florist the most
scientific of men?" as it appeared at one
time in these columns and was also pub-
lished in the December Bulletin of the
Chicago Florists Club. The editor of the
Bulletin adding, "We hope the foregoing
Fink contribution will shame the wreck-
ing crew, silence the Weiss man and give
the Hairless One renewed hope that even
his case is not beyond the scientific reach
of a florist's ability."

So "mote" it be.

The Allied Florists Association is run-
ning an attractive ad in the local papers
this week. It calls attention to June, the
month of flowers and tbe abundant supply
and reasonable prices. Attention is called
to the graduate — this is her day of pride,
of joy in anticipations realized.

Among the casualties reported on Mon-
day morning following the first warm
Sunday when the lake shore was fringed
with bathers, is that of George Louder, an
employee of the Swain Nelson & Sons
Co., nurserymen at Glenview. He had
but recently come to the company from
"somewhere in Iowa."

Grimm & Gorly are out with a new car
for delivery purposes.

Geo. H. Angermueller is receiving some
choice Ophelia Roses and a really good
assortment in Summer Roses.

Missouri Botanical Garden

The Bulletin for May contains an inter-
esting report of the dedication of the new
main entrance of the garden. The outside
and inside illustrations of the new gate-
way show it to be of simple but ef-
fective design. The original entrance built
by Henry Shaw in 1858 had long since
ceased to be equal to coping with the vis-
itors expeditiously. The new gateway has
six entrances. Interesting too is the tabu-
lated list of plants injured in the gar-
den by the frost on March 27. The tem-
perature that day dropped to 22deg. F.
The red and white Mulberry were se-
verely injured; such trees as Prunus
Pissardii, Salix cinerea and Koelreuteria
paniculata, had the twigs of last year
injured; Magnolias, Crateegus, and the
Black Willow had leaves killed, while
many forms of Honeysuckles Berberis,
Privet, Deutzia, etc., had last year's
wood killed back. All H. T. and H. P.
Roses were so badly injured that they had
to be cut back to the ground. Inasmuch
as all these plants are capable of with-
standing a more severe freeze than 22deg.
F. we may assume that not only were they
in active growth when frozen, but that the
climate had rendered them incapable of
withstanding sharp frost. This seems to
suggest that such stock when grown in the
South is not suitable for colder districts,
although greater hardiness will come in
due course after one or two seasons.

St. Louis, Mo.

The Martet

Extremely warm weather is with
us. The past week, however, seems to
have found the retailers busy, school clos-
ings, weddings and funeral work using up
considerable stock.

Carnations are getting smaller and good
stock is scarce. Roses of good quality are
right away seized upon. Larkspur, Shasta
Daisies. Cornflowers and a few outdoor
Sweet Peas are seen on the counters of
the wholesalers. Gladioli are increasing
in supply and are now quoted at from 4c.
to 8c.

The coming week will about close up
the season.

News Notes

The 3.5th anniversary meeting of
the St. Louis Florist Club took place at
W. J. Pilcher's greenhouses, Thursday,
June 9, and was attended by about 50
members. The feature of the meeting
was the appointment of a committee of
five to form an allied trade association.
Also a committee was appointed to audit
the books of the Publicity Committee.

The St. Louis Florist Club picnic was
annoimced to take place July 21 at Nor-
mandy Grove. Six members were fined
10c. each for not wearing a flower at the
meeting.

H. G. Berning and wife left Monday,
June 13. to attend the Shriners' Conven-
tion at Dps Moines, la.

C. A. Kuehn is receiving some choice
Summer Roses, also a good variety in
miscellaneous flowers.

H. G. Berning is receiving large sup-
plies in Roses and Gladioli.

New Tulips and Narcissus

A special folder offering at wholesale
a niunber of new Tulips and Narcissi has
been issued by E. H. Krelage & Son, Haar-
lem, Holland, the noted raisers. The des-
criptions of each variety is full, and it is
worthy of note that a large number have
been awarded certificates by the R. H. S.
and Haarlem Bulb Growers Society. The
Tulips include several of the new Lily
flowered forms and a number of hybrids
shown for the first time during the pres-
ent season. Among them are Amber, a
wonder straw colored form ; Ambrosia,
lilac rose and salmon orange; Argo, golden
yellow and red; Carrara, the finest white,
and a variety that attracted much atten-
tion when shown in London owing to
its forcing qualities; Dulcimea, another ■
forcing sort, orange red in color; Leda,
salmon rose; Nectar, glowing crimson;
Pearl, carmine pink and Themis, pure
white, a ramerkably fine variety for gar-
I den or forcing. ■;

Among the Narcissi are Early Beauty, »■
Phryne and Rosa Lynd, all valuable for \
forcing; Glory of Haarlem, Medea, Mrs.
E. Krelage and Josine. These embrace ,
yellow, white and bicolor trumpet types.

It is worthy of note, too, that Messrs. ,
Krelage guarantee their bulbs free from
disease. ',

Education Prime Requisite for
Success

"Education after all is the one big
thing, and the florist who does not study
fully the problems w^hich concern him in
his particular line will soon be out of the
running — just like the doctor who does
not keep up with the latest developments
in medical science.

"It has often seemed to me that edu-
cation was the true mission of the trade
papers, and I and my father have always
favored THE Florists' Exchange because
it contained the greatest number of worth-
while things. I don't really know how
my fatliej' would have gotten along with-
out the "Week's Work." Youi know he
was originally a grocer and so, when he
went into the florist business as a green-
horn, he had to acquire the knowledge
necessary to run the business; to that end
he used Fritz Bahr's articles almost afi
his exclusive textbook."

The above was written by a young man
who is fully alive to the educational value ^
of a trade paper and who, judging by p^^\
success he has achieved to date, is testify-''*
ing his own performances the correctneaa'
of his remark that education, after all,i
is the prime requisite for success in anyi
direction.

"JAY EM" Says:

Flowers are the only good Buy!

Don't Buy Candy. — It. sets up decay of teeth
causes diabetes, and chronic dyspepsia.
Use the money instead to pay your S. A. F.
and Florists' Club dues.

Dont Buy Beer. — It induces gout, rheumatism
and Bright's disease. Save the money and
buy a Slogan Signboard.

Don't Buy Automobiles. — Thousands are
k'lled annually by them. Avoid such luxuries
and contribute the cash to the National
Publicity Fund.

Don't Buy Meat. — It clogs the pores of the
skin, overloads the system with various well
defined poisons. Save this money so you
can more read'ly subscribe for the trade
papers.

Don't Buy Fish. — Canned fish is a fruitful
source of ptomaine poisoning. With this
saving you can pay you- initiation fee into
the Allied Florists' Asso> iation.

Don't Buy Diamonds. — Their scintillating
effect is a lure to the highwayman; generally
a disagreeable man to meet. Save this money
to go to the Convention with.

Buy Only Flowers. — To "Say it with Flowers"
is to talk in the language of the heart, for
journeys in June are must always planned
over roads that have been strewn with Rosee
before.

Remember the Slogan.

The Market

June 14:. — Taking it all in all, the
market might be called fairly good for
this season of the year. The supply of all
kinds of flowers is more than generous, but
before 8 o'clock arrives, the greatest part
of these has found buyers. Weddings are
unusually numerous, especially in higher
circles and school commencement affairs
are in full swing, so that there is no
lack of work for the retail florists. The
shipping houses also are experiencing a
good demand for flowers. Prices have, on
the whole, remained very much as they
were a week ago with the exception of
Roses, which flowers have given way in
prices for several sorts. While the weather
has been most delightful right along, every
grower is praying for a good, soaking
rain. The ground really needs it, and a
continuance of the present drought must
bring serious consequences.

American Beauty Roses have received a
little more attention than for a long time;
all other sorts have moved freely, but
with an almost unlimited supply coming
in every morning, price is not always a
matter of great concern. One thing must
be remembered, however, there is never
to much of the top grade. There are in-
dications that point to an early shorten-
ing up of the Rose supply.

Carnations are holding out pretty well,
both as to quantity and quality. The cool
■weather is just to their liking. Morning
Glow is still enjoying the buyer's favor,
on account of its noted keeping qualities
and charming color. Although there are
Carnations galore and many job lots going

at Ic. or less, it takes 2%c. to 3c. to buy
good ones. White Carnations have been
sadly neglected for some time; at present
they do better than recently.

There is no particular rush about the
buying of either Gladioli or Peonies. Both
sell at the same price, SI to SI. 50 a dozen.
White Lilies simply are not wanted. There
are not many of them around and, at that,
some lots go to waste, although offered
at 10c. to 12c. Callas are not doing much
better at Sl.oO to 82 a dozen. Outdoor
Delphiniiun is now plentiful; it makes SI
to S2 a bunch and is largely used.

Candytuft, Feverfew and Stocks are
competing with Carnations in funeral
work; the three items are selling well as
does also Gypsophila elegans. Prices of
either run from 35c. to 75c. a bunch, ac-
cording to size. Mignonette, Cornflowers,
Daisies, Calendulas, etc.. sell at nominal
prices; the supply of all of them is too
, great.

I Sweet Peas from outdoors will be a
■ failure unless rain comes soon. Indoor
j Peas are 90 per cent so-so, making what
I little money they can and a great many
I are making for the can itself. What few
I half respectable ones there are, bring as
j much as Ic. to IV^c.

! There has been and is yet a good de-
mand for orchids: Cattleya Schrcederse is
about out of the market. Mossiae is going
strong and Gigas is becoming more in
evidence. Prices have lately run as high
as §2 a bloom for fine stock. Odontogloe-
sums are scarce. They sell on sight, bring-
ing as high as 25c. a flower.

The supply of Lily of the Valley is suf-
ficient; also that of Gardenias; the for-
mer realize 8c. to 12c., the latter 20c. to
30c.

Greens of all kinds are ■ Very much de-
manded, the supply is good and prices are
normal.

The outlook for the immediate future
is good, there is not much talk of vaca-
tions so far in the stores. These will have
to wait until the sound of the wedding
bells dies down a little.

News Notes

The annual Rose and Strawberrj-
exhibition of the Masachusetts Horticul-
tural Society will be held at Horticultural
Hall, June 25 and 26.

Seventeen classes offer subst antial

Ed. Rogean, at the Exchange Market,
has sold his time honored, palatial motor
yacht. No more joyous vacation cruises, as
of yore, for the boys at the market. From
now on it's "hike or swim," gentleman,
if you wish to go up into Maine. Sad,
but true.

J. Duffels, up to now buyer for F. E.
Palmer, Brookline, has accepted a posi-
tion in the landscape department of the
leading florist in Kalamazoo, Mich. He
left the East, June 8, with the best wishes
from his many friends in the market.

"Caplan," on Massachusetts ave., finds

help to sell the birds and the birds bring

The American Orchid Society, which
was formed a year ago, has sent to its
members copies of the by-laws, submitted
and accepted at the last meeting. Any
person, male or femal, whether citizens of
the United' States or of foreign countries,
who have shown special interest in orchids
by work, studies, writings or otherwise,
are eligible to membership, either as regu-
lar or life members. The annual dues for
regular members are §5 per annum, pay-
able on the first day of January in each
year. Life membership is obtainable
with a single fee of §100, no dues to be
payable thereafter. Xo entrance fee is re-
quired to join the society.

The American Orchid Society has been
formed for the purpose of aiding in evei-j'
possible way the importation and improve-
ment by cultivation and hybridization of
exotic orchids; the preservation and per-
petuation of native orchids; the dissemi-
nation by exhibitions, lectures and pub-
lication of useful knowledge, production,
use and love of these beautiful flowers.

Thomas F. Galrin, Inc., had the con-
tract for the decoration of 25 booths in
Mechanics Hall, where the American
Medical Association had their convention
last week. For the lectures, given to the
surgical department, the stage in Jordan
Hall was decorated with Rambler Roses,
Bay trees and palms. At the Copley
Plaza Hotel, June 10, 600 guests of the
American Medical Association attended a
dinner, for which the decorations con-
sisted to a great extent of Peonies.

Albert C. Burrage, president of the
American Orchid Society, and William
P. Rich, secretary of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, visited the estab-
lislmient of J. T. Butterworth, Framing-
ham. The Wsitors were greatly interested
in a house of Miltonias, which presented
a magnificent sight with all its hundreds
of plants in full bloom. The greater part
of Mr. Butterworth's houses is devoted
to orchids, in the culture of which plants
the owner is a past master and holds the
distinction of being the first commercial
grower of orchids in America. His col-
lection of Miltonias is probably the larg-
est in the country. The decorative and
commercial qualities and possibilities of
ililtonias are just beginning to be ap-
preciated, and Mr- Butterworth finds an
increased demand for the beautiful flowers
year after year. His flowers go to abnost
every State. While the visitors were on
the place, George, Mr. Butterworth's son
and able assistant, superintended the pack-
ing of standing orders for Chicago, New
York, Buffalo, Albany, etc. It is Mr.
Butterworth's intention to use all the
space in his many houses for orchid cul-
ture within the next year or two. He

The following is from the Boston Post^
June 7, "Found in Egypt, Grows iu
Quincy":

"An entirely new variety of Sweet Pea
has been produced from a seed declared
to have been buried with an Egyptian
mitmmy nearly 4000 years ago. The Sweet
Pea blossomed yesterday in the Quincy
greenhouses of William Patterson, on
South Central st., of that city, and Mr.
Paterson immediately notified Chester I.
Campbell of WoUaston, who gave him the
seed to plant five weeks ago.

"Last night Mr. Campbell related the
history of the seed as follows: 'About
four months ago, in my capacity of
American treasurer of the Egyptian Ex-
ploration Corporation, an English enter-
prise, I received from the main offices of
the company in London this seed. It was
reported to be one of six recovered by
scientists near Abydos, 70 miles from
Cairo, in the ruins of the temple of
Osiris.

" 'The story went that the seed had
been found clutched in the band of a
mummy, and evidence that the mummy
had been buried about 2000 B. C. was also
produced. I turned over my seed to Mr.
Patterson. One of the others sent to this
country was given to Mrs. Charles W.
Taft of Cincinnati, sister-in-law of the ex-
president, and I have heard that here seed
also blossomed forth into a Sweet Pea of
the same blue color that my seed pro-
duced.' "

George W. Hamer, janitor at the
Flower Exchange [Market, lost his mother,
Friday, June 10. Mrs. Maria Hamer
died of shock at her residence, after a
short illness, and was buried on Monday.
June 13. The salesmen at the market
gave expression to their feeling of sincere
sympathy by sending to the funeral a
beautiful floral piece.

Welch Bros. Co., on Devonshire st., is
meeting with a great demand for Liliimi

tion with blue Delphiniums in basket or

Faulkner Farm, the beautifullv situ-
ated estate of E. D. Brandegee, in Brook-
line, was the goal of thousands of visitors
a week ago. On Friday, .June 10, ,550
cars brought over 2500 members of the
American Medical Association, and on
the following day the National Civic Fed-
ei-ation paid a visit in 150 cars. Wm. N.
Craig, superintender^t of the estate, took
great delight in guiding the visitors over
the large territory. The estate occupies
a_ large part of the most picturesque sec-
tion of Boston's near suburbs and offers
numberless at'.ractions mth its gentle,
forest-clad hills, its beautifully kept lawns
and Italian gxrden. Then there are the
handsome greephouses, containing a choice

collection of rare plants; the lake with
Its fringe and separate groups of Rhodo-
dendrons and hardy Azaleas, which alone
are worth a special visit, and the many
extra well kept large orchards. The neat
rockeries, with their wealth of interest-
ing plants and the bits of wild plantings,
need special mention. The visitors were
favored with the most agreeable weather
and a refreshing rain, just a day before
their visit, made the place present itself
at its very best.

Wyckoff, N. J.

DeBaun & Co., nurserymen and floriata
here, are putting up quite an extensive
greenhouse plant, which will be devoted
mainly to the propagation of nursery
stock. The plant consists of two houses,
each 100ft.x20ft., which are separated by
a large service building. One of the
houses was finished during this past
Winter, and they expect the other one to
lie finished by next Fall. When the
houses are completed they will be used for
the raising of a considerable quantity of
young evergreens of the better varieties,
both for their own planting and for the
trade.

The Empire State Indeed

It is interesting to note that a western
contemporary, having applied the infalli-
ble test of the distribution of its circula-
tion, has discovered New York to be the
leading floricultural State. It might be
mentioned,, incidentally, that in several
other respects New York ranks high, if
not highest, among its sister common-
wealths. Population, capital, interna^
tional commerce, the production of fruits
and important agricultural crops such as
Potatoes, Cabbage, Hay, etc., art, drama,
merchandising — in any of these, and still
other lines, may be found both a reason
for local pride and a reason for New
York's prestige as a market for the flo^
fist's wares.

RETAIL DEPARTMENT

PEOPLE WHO WILL BUY FLOWERS

Are you making an effort to get their business?
By LESTER G. HERBERT

THERE is one line of business which, so far as I
know, the average florist overlooks entirely,
and as it represents an uU-around-tho-year,
steady, sure-|iay jiatronafc-e, it is well worth the time
of anyone to !;o after it with energy and enthusiasm.

I'erluips I can best illustrate by drawing a concrete
picture of the small city in which 1 live. It has a
population of about S.I.OOO or ."iC.OOO people, not in-
cluding those in the thickly settled and prosperous
rural neighborhoods reached by the trolleys in every
direction. There are at least thirty churches of dif-
ferent denonunation.s. Some of these have a large,
wealthy and exclusive membership, and others are
not so strong.

Today is one of organization in ;
Protestant churches particularly have
as parts of their Sunday schools, or-
ganized classes for all ages from cradle
roll babies to the home department for
those who are too aged to come out,
or tied up by Sunday occupations.

The Catholic churches have large
aud powerful Young Women's Sodali-
ties, and the older women in the same
manner have benevolent and social or-
ganizations which take in the people
of influence in their parish.

Now, it is an almost uniform prac-
tice for all of these organizations to
elect, or have appointed by the presi-
dent or leading executive officer, a
flower committee. This committee con-
sists of anywhere from three, five or
seven members, and it is the duty of
this flower committee to express sym-
pathy or kindly interest or happiness,
as the case may be, by sending flowers
in case any of the members suffer sick-
ness, death, or some event of joy hap-
pens such as a wedding or a birth.

Now take one class for example, with
which the writer happens to be con-
nected, and so can speak with reason-
able certainty : During the last year
not less than $50 to $75 has been paid
out by the flower committee. Cut flow-
ers, flowering plants or ferns are sent,
as the case may he.

In this particular church there are
at least 50 classes and departments.
The cradle roll takes in all the babies ;
the mothers' department, mothers ; the
I men's class, the business men of the
I church ; the intermediates, eight or ten
I classes of adolescent boys and girls;
I the seniors, not less than a dozen
: classes of young men and young
women, aud so on.

To be conservative, we will estimate
that the 30 churches already men-
tioned will average 20 different organi-
zations, departments and separate class
groups. This is conservative, for many
will have much more, and others per-
haps less.

Thirty churches multiplied by 20 de-
partments gives us 600 of these separate organiza-
tions ; and again let us assume that each organization
will spend in the course of a year on an average of
$60 for flowers. Here we have upwards of $4000 in
business which can readily be raised a couple of thou-
sand dollars more, by going after the flowers pur-
chased and the decorations rented for banquets and
special day exercises.

Now, remember, I have not touched on the decora-
tions of the church auditorium for the regular Sun-
day services of any of these chur<;hes. I am only
pointing out that in this city of 36,000 people, class
and organization flowers have cost in the last year
approximately $100 per thousand inhabitants. I have
figured it out on this basis so you could reckon how
much you could expect if you gained $100 additional
business for each thousand of your population.

Then the special day flowers should increase this
not less than 10 per cent, and there you have it. In
our city I am estimating that about $7000 has been
paid out In the year by the church organizatiotis for
flowers for weddings, funerals or church decoration,
guite outside of the general acceptance of these classes
of business.

Now .somebody sells these flowers. Rarely, indeed,
even in the Summer time, are garden flowers used,
for it seems more formal to liave the box come from
Ibr florist beautifully packed and with an appropriate
card. .Moreover, it saves a lot of trouble as to de-
livery, etc.

Now hero is jnst how this business may be won.
.\s it is, it is scattered here, there and everywhere,
aud even the same class or the same flower com-
mittee is likely to buy wherever it is handy. The
florist who would corner this business will not have
a great deal of trrnible in doing so. He can easily
have printed cards or attractive letters on a good
iiuality of letter .paper stock soliciting this business,
and

Naturally, It Is your earnest purpose to omit no one
amone your member.s who ought to be recognized floral-
ly: and it is natural also that you should wish to get
the nio.st beautiful flowers for the money whlck you

That we may be of special assistance to you, we have
established an Organization Service, and we are ready
to execute your commissions with efficiency and dis-

In charge of this Organization Service we have placed
a young woman, Miss Marion Hale, who has made a
study of the significance of flowers, and

very happy to suggest or advise you,

her pleasure to do it.

Our delivery service Is thoroughly

the best of service. Our large greenhouses
make an ample supply of beautiful flow-

you send an order here, it will have sym-

Very truly yours,

(Florist'a Name).

This is only a suggestion, hut a fol-
low-up card to secretaries, superiatea-
dents of departments and general su-
perintendents from time to time will
build up a satisfactory business. Then
the newspaper is not to be overlooked
as a medium of announcing this or-
ganization service.

It will pay the florist to keep track
of the special church days in the dif-
ferent denominations. Most florlatg
take It for granted that Christmas,
Easter and Thanksgiving are the main
periods to remember, but we have seen
how rapidly Mother's Day has sprting
into favor, and Memorial Day now has
a new significance since the war in
which our own men of today have
shared.

But, do not take it for granted that
these are all the days — for there is
Children's Day, Promotion Day, and
Rally Day in the Fall, and the differ-
ent feasts and periods of special ec-
clesiastical significance in all denomi-
nations. Make a study of these. It is
not at all commercializing the spiritual
instinct of the people; it is simply ar-
ranging to furnish them with what
they want, when they want it.

Then this service can easily be ex-
tended and different contracts made,
or special terms offered, for church
auditorium decoration, and for outside
organization or club work. Women's
clubs, men's clubs, chambers of com-
merce, lodges and societies all send
flower remembrances upon suitable occasions.

We have all recognized this, of course, but how
many florists have gone after this business, definitely
addressing the flower committee or the secretary or
whoever has the matter in hand in order to solicit such
business? It is worth while, and, naturally, the man
who is on the job, and who is prepared to deliver the
goods, will get the business instead of the modest,
shrinking Violet who hides his light under a bushel
and does not announce his presence, or in what man-
ner he is prepared to serve the public.

One of the principles of modern merchandising is
that any article which is meritorious can be sold
provided it, or the service it represents, is put into
a highly individualized and non-competitive class.

Remember this and apply this principle to selling
flowers to the public. Individualize your service and
make it reach those people who have never been
reached before, and who perhaps you have not been
in the habit of thinking as possible prospects for flow-
ers. There are plenty of these who can and will buy
and are buying. The question is, are you getting their
business?

Giant Wreath Decorating the Statue of Liberty

and special attention in the execution of all orders.

By going to the different churches, the names of the
presidents, secretaries and chairmen of flower com-
mittees may be readily learned, for in each church
these organizations are under some one head.

Then, from time to time special literature may be
addressed to these individuals, for it is not safe to
assume that if you have sent out a letter or a card
once, that it will do for all time. Moreover, you
must keep this mailing list up to date, for new officers
are elected, aud they like to be noticed.

Here is a sample of a typical letter which should
bring results when sent to the chairman of the Flower
Committee :

Mrs. W. B. Brown,

Chairman of the Flower Committee of
Little Light Bearers.
415 Dawson Street,
Utica, N. T.
My Dear Mrs. Brown:

Yours is indeed a delightful and beneflcient office — for
who does not love to send flowers to those who are sick
or bereaved, or going through some particularly happy
experience in life?

Private Finishing Schools and
Profitable Flower Sales

At this season of the year, when ''sweet
gill graduates" and equally if less sweet
'"Ijoy graduates" are as abundant as the
blooms on a Crimson Rambler, it is un-
necessai-j- to call the trade's attention to
the oportunities offered by schools and
their commencement exercises.

I have recently heard, however, of an-
other sort of opportunity in connection
with schools and their pupils that is de-
serving of some careful consideration;
and even though it has to do with the ac-
tual school year it is well worth thinking
of now, and then jotting down on your
memorandxmi pad for further considera-
tion next Fall.

It is customary, I find, for the pupils
in many if not all of the more fashionable
girls' private schols to be allotted certain
amoimts from their spending money at
regular intervals for use in certain defi-
nite directions. At one institution of
some 300 young ladies, ranging from
primary to college freshman age, for in-
stance, each girl is allowed a dollar a
week for flowers. Of course, it does not
have to be spent the week it is available;
presiunably one can forego the pleasure
for three or four weeks and then make a
special splurge on the accumulated wealth,
although I am not certain on this point.

The interesting thing is that in this
particular school — and probably in all
similar ones — hardly a week goes by with-
out the celebration of one or two or more
birthdays, or the holding of a class or club
dance or reception, or the giving of a
formal tea to some favorite teacher or an
honored guest, or some sort of festivity or
jollitication at which gifts of flowers are
much in order. And with anywhere from
a dozen to half a hundred girls interested
in each of these events, you can see that
the total weekly expenditure for flowers
in every such school must amount to quite
a respectable little sum.

Why not make a special effort to
gatlier in that trade if there is aprivate
school in your neighborhood? Why not
.see if you cannot become "official flower
purveyor" to "Eoseworthy Hall" or ";Miss
Jenkin's Academy for Young Ladies" —
not really officially, of course, but in a sort
of accepted, paternal way, so that your
stocks and your service will be the first
things thought of when there are flowers
to be bought?

Now, the securing of such an assign-
ment or commission is not to be accom-
plished by the ordinary methods of broad-
cast advertising. Probably a neat, digni-
fied folder, setting forth your facilities
for supplying what is wanted and your
liVillingness to cooperate with suggestions
and service, could be distributed among
the pupils at the beginning of each year
or term, if the matter were diplomatically
placed before the principal or faculty
committee. But the really effective work
would come later on as you made good
your promises in the way of service and
good value.

For one thing, I would suggest keeping
your values as close to a standard as
possible. That is, if a shortage develops
in the case of one popular flower, so that
a dollar's worth becomes considerably less
than it was, trj* to explain the temporary
condition and at all events try to get the
prospective purchaser to take something
else for once, something that will enable you
to give just as generous a bunch as your
young patrons have come to associate with
your shop. Of course, quality counts and
must be maintained; but in the eyes of
the average youngster bulk and the gen-
eral effect are more impressive than ex-
quisite qualitj- in concentrated form.

You can accomplish much, also, by win-
ning the confidence of your customers,
finding out their little peculiarities and
those of their schoolmates and framing
suggestions to meet these and to chime
in with special occasions as they arise.

persons and every sort of event that tends
to create a ripple in the daily current of
the school life will prove mighty valuable;
but it must be kept up to date, and its
Mse must be accompanied by the employ-
ment of abundant diplomacy and tact.

All these suggestions, after all, are no
different from those that offer generous
reward to any retailer, anj-where; in fact,
a school such as we have considered above
may be viewed as a compact little com-
munity in miniature. As such it offers
a splendid chance for you to experiment
with different selling schemes that might
later be employed upon your larger trade
outside. And yet, at the same time, it is
full of good business possibilities, too, in
itself, to which you can well afford to
give thought, efl'ort and sincere endeavor.

IntemationEil Flower Day

In reading the article in The Florists'
Exchange of June 11 in regard
to an International' Flower Day or
Hero's Day, whichever it may be, I wish
to thank you for remembering my; name
as the one who suggested wearing a flower
on Nov. 11 of each year in memoriam
of our dead and living heroes of the World
War, suggested April 12. 1919.

Why the suggestion, with your splendid
editorial at that time, failed to bring a
response, I cannot understand and I hope
since the proposition is made a second
time b.v Mrs. Shaw, the trade will give her
all assistance possible.

Nothing seems to come amiss in the

Trade News

The past week has been one of de-
cided activity witli plenty of fiowers at
lower prices than two weeks ago. The
heiglit of the Peony season is on, and they
are commencing to sell at moderate prices.
The supply of Carnations are plentiful,
but there are fewer good Roses in pro-
portion. Sweet Peas have been very poor
owing to the damp and rainy weather.
Outdoor Delphiniums are now on the mar-
ket. ^ \^'eddings, commencements, chil-
drens' day in the churches, occasions of
joy and occasions of sadness have accel-
erated the wheels of business with a final
whirl before they slow down for Sununer.
There is no denying that the regular busi-
ness is rapidly declining; it is only the
few regular customers that keep things
going. The sales of Peonies have been in
the lead; they look like a lot for the
Dioney these days.

Notes

The Roberts Rose Co. have their
new house all planted with uptodate and
new varieties of Roses such as Montgom-
ery's Pricilla, American Legion and two
local sports of Columbia. One is a fine
white, the second a large double Rose,
color of American Beauty. The two sports
are planted on trial; C. A. Benson is the
originator of the two new Roses.

Capital Hill Floral Co. on E. Colfax ave.
is a new firm that has been running for
about two months; Mrs. Beck is the pro-
prietor of the shop. Mrs. Beck was with
the Sperth Floral Co. for a number of
years and reports business good in her
location.

Fred Meyers has been cutting some fine
Raster Lilies the past two weeks.

The Floral Department of the Daniels
& Fisher Stores Co., of which E. R.
Brown is manager, has been working
overtime the past week with conunence-
meut w-ork, having had three of the largest
orders of the season, Walcott school,
Loretta Heights and St. Mary's academy.
Mr. Brown will take a short vacation in
a few days to rest up. Mr. McDonald of
this firm has been on the sick list but is
now at his post again.

The Rockmont Home for Flowers will
soon have a new delivery car on the street;
it will be one of the finest in town.

Geo. Fleischer of Pueblo, Colo., was in
our city during the recent flood in his city
and said all he has heard from home is
that his family is safe and 0. K. He
could not tell a thing about the florists'
stores down there up to this writing.

The Cartwright Floral Co. has been busy
with outdoor planting, having bad the
contract for The Gates Half Sole Tire
Co. The Park Floral Co. had one of the
largest wedding decorations of the season
so far. It was that of the Goldman-Fried-
man parties. Mr. Goldman is owner of
the Golden Eagle Department Store.

Stamford (Conn.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of the
above society was held June 6 in the
Horticultural Hall with President Henry
Wild in the chair. Se\'en nominations for
membership were received. It was decided
to have an expert from Storr's Agricul-
tural College to speak at the meeting
which will be held June 20. A favorable
report from the drive committee was re-
ceived ; as, however, not all the money
promised was in the hands of the com-
mittee, it was impossible to state the
actual amount. The membership of the
.society is steadily increasing. Every first
Monday of the month is for business and
exhibits with discussions: the third Mon-
day is entirely for lectures, while the
entertainment committee generally toward
the latter part of the month treats its
members with a social entertainment. The
society, therefore, is not only educating,
but through its monthly entertainments
brings its members and families together,
which is highly important to break the
monotony of rural life for many a family.

Exhibits were vase of Roses by J. A.
Tate, honorable mention. Lettuce by same,
note of thanks; Strawberries by A.
Wyime, very highly commended; vase
of Roses by Wm. ilcGJonigle, honorable
mention; Pyrethrum by Mrs. Harvey, very

The above society held another small,
but stunning show of Spring flowers in
conjunction with its usual monthly meet-
ing in Hubbard's Hall, Greenwich, on
Friday last, June 10.

It was very gratifying to the executive I
committee to see the way the members
turned out and the fine exhibits they
staged. It well rewarded Mr. Addor, our
live wire secretary, who has the gift of
arranging these things on short notice.

The bringing together of this superb
display of Roses, hardy perennials, etc.,
was largely due to the generosity of Ro-
man J. Irwin, who donated the entire
prize list. The members expressed re-
gret after being informed by the secretary
that Mr. Irwin would not be able to be
present owing to his being away in
Massachusetts on business. This active
worker in the horticultural business
world is a member and frequent visitor to
our meetings and it is evident by _ Ms
speeches at our gatherinfK that he is a
true lover of flowers and keenly appre-
ciates the way in which our members
"Say it with Flowers." The prize win-
ners in the competitions included W. J,
Sealey, Wm. Smith, Chas. Adcock, George
Hewitt, James Stuart, James Tough,
Robert Williamson, Duncan Mclntyre,
James Sinane, John Rutherford and
Jerome Murphy.

Another interesting feature of the meet-
' ing was an exceptionally well delivered
address on trees by W. J. Ashley, a land-
scape gardener from Mount Vernon, N. Y.
, Mr. Ashley dealt chiefly with the la-
': mentable way in which liunber companies
I are gradually deteriorating our forests;
I diseases which have caused a considerable
i loss of various kinds of trees, and some
I of the mysterious ways or habits of cer- I
' tain objects of beauty that adorn our |
I landscape. Being a graduate of the Yale
College of Forestry, the speaker proved
a learned man on his subject and it is
hoped tbat on some future date we will
have the pleasure of listening to him
again. G. Hewitt, Cor. Sec.

Trade Notes

Some of the finest Gladioli ever
seen in this market are coming into the
ivholesale houses now. There is no diffi-
culty in finding an outlet for each of the
flowers because of their quality, and the
first into the city brought as high as 30c.
apiece, almost a record price. The new
types. War and Peace, are among the
favorites. War has a rich red color and
is most attractive. The prices are high
when one considers the difficulty experi-
enced by the retailers in getting compen-
satory prices on that basis, but it gave
them something to show to prospective
patrons and they had to content them-
selves with an even break financially.
Present prices are materially lower, and
good stock can be had for $20 per 100.

Stock is considerably more plentiful
than it has been, but the market con-
tinues to clean up well and business is
declared to be excellent with good returns.

Iris is at about the end of its season
and it is not in much demand. Carna-
tions for the most part have gone back.
Their quality is so poor that $2 is a
rather high price. Some specials last
week brought $6, but there was not a
great quantity of that quality.

Russell is still the best among the
Roses and brings up to 25c. each. Colum-
bia is fine and is to be had with long
stems and good foliage. It also continues
to bring a fancy figure. American Beauty
is poor, but there is a good demand at
$3 per doz. at wholesale.

Coreopsis, Phlox and Oxalis help fill
out the market, and Shasta Daisies are
exceptionally good this year, and good
outdoor Sweet Peas are to be had. There
has been quite a run on Lily of the Val-
ley and orchids. The latter have been
both scarce and high. There has been a
very heavy demand for Lilies, and while
there are quantities coming in, the price
remains $20 per 100.

Bad Cheque liaip for Wasliington
Advanced

The Senate has passed and sent to
the House of Representatives for its ac-

tion the Poraerene 'Thony Cheque" law

for the District of Colunibia. TIuh ia a
nitHHiiru for wliicli the local trade have
been working for many years, and hopes
aru exproaML'd tliat it will be adopted by
the liouHO and signed by PrcHident
Harding l)cfoi'<' ioug. It i)rovidus "That
any person \\ itliiu the DiHtrict of Colum-
bia who, witli intent to defraud, shall
make, draw, utter, or deliver any cheque,
draft, or ordur for the payment of money
upon any bank or other dej)o.'sitory, know-
ing at the time of such making, drawing,
uttering, or deliverinjj that the maker or
drawL-r has not siifHcient funds in or
iri'dit with sucli bank or other depository
fur the payment of such cheque, cfraft, or
order in full upon its presentation, shall
he imprisoned for not more than one
year, or be fined not more than §1000, or
both."

Refusal of' payment because of insuffi-
cient funds is to be prima facie evidence
of an intent to defraud when the maker
or drawer does not pay the amount in
question on demand.

New Sign Regulations Proposed

X'he District Commissioners have
under consideraiton a revision of the pres-
ent regulations governing signs in the Dis-
trict of Colunibia. One new provision
would make it unlawful to erect a sign
of any character here not advertising a
business conducted ho7ia fide on the prem-
ises. It is understood to be the purpose
of the Commissioners to prevent large
concerns from painting or erecting signs
on the sides or tops of buildings in which
there is no bona fide agency for the
product advertised.

Another proposed amendment would
give the Commissioners a way in which
to rmeove signs which, after erection,
were found to be a violation of the law.
Final approval will not be given to these
proposals until after they have been
passed on by local sign painting com-
panies.

Personals

Prof. Lee Cleveland Corbett, horti-
culturist of the Department of Agricul-
ture, last week found himself honored, in
company with Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace, by the University of Maryland,
during tlae commencement, with the degree
of Doctor of Agriculture. Prof. Corbett
. is particularly popular with the florists
of the country by reason of his activity
in connection with the affairs of the
American Rose Society and the successful
undertaking of the test gardens at Arling-
ton Parms, Va.

Mr. and Mrs. Herbert A. Pennock, of
Jupiter, Fla., stopped over in Washing-
ton en, route to Philadelphia. Mr. Pen-
nock is a brother of S. S. Pennock and
a former resident of Philadelphia.

Stanley Holland was a recent visitor to
New York, where he went to meet his
mother, who has come over from England
to make her home with him.

Henry Witt is remodeling his home at
Silver Hill, Md., and will soon have an
attractive and greatly enlarged residence.
He is' cutting some exceptionally fine
Gladioli just now and is receiving con-
gratulations on the quality of his stock.

Among the visitors of last week were
Ralph Faust, of the S. S. Pennock Co.,
Philadelphia; H. R. Crawford, of the
Joseph G. Neidinger Co., Philadelphia;
and J. H. Thomas, representing R. M.
Ward & Co., New York.

Thomas Outerbridge, of Hamilton, Ber-
muda, was a visitor here last week. While
here he made a trip to the Lily garden
at Arlington Farms, Va., and was very
much impressed with the work being done
there by Prof. David Griffith. He is mak-
ing arrangements whereby he can ex-
change stock from his place in Bermuda
with the Government people here and re-
ceive some of their Lily plants in return.
While some of the plants were hurt by
the late frost it was indicated that they
are, as a whole, as hardy as Candidum
Lilies, and can be kept outdoors all Win-
ter. E. A. D.

Lancaster, Pa.

June 10. — A number of weddings and a
few funerals and an occasional good-
hearted husband or the love-lorn lad keeps
enough business in the stores to avoid
calling it dull, but it can't be called
snappy.

B. F. Barr made a trip to Winchester,
Va., by machine, to decorate for a wed-
ding, taking with him the flowers for bou-
quets, etc, and making them up on his

arrival at the home of the bride. He
reports their nursery business as having
been more than satisfactory, and the
breaks in the nursery rows are proof posi-
tive of the fact.

Bedding Season Good

Bedding stock is sold up clean and
the outlook for this end of the trade is
very rosy. I do not know if it was gen-
eral over the country, but there was little
trouble in this section to get 10c. more
for a good Poitevine Geranium plant than
for the other varieties, and it seems to
me that a part of this extra price should
be passed along to the producer of the
cuttings, just as a little encouragement in
a business that has many disappointments
and a very small margin of profit at the
best.

Extra Flower Days Not Favored

With a good wish for the whole
florists' trade, I cannot help but wonder
whether or not the retail man is in danger
of cooking his goose by trying to have
more special flower days. To some it may
not sound progressive, but a careful sur-
vey of business shows that there is a time
to let well enough alone and, from my
point of view, that time is right now
when it comes to boosting more special
days on th^ flower buying public.

Daisy Fields

When the seeds of stars were sown

In the Milky Way,
I think some little seeds were blown

From the sky away.
And they drifted, drifted doivn
To the earth, all bare and brown.
Where they lodged and grew until
Daisies bloomed on field and hill..
Daisies, sno^^ clouds of stars
Drifting through the pasture bars;
Daisies growing everywhere.
White and yellow, white and fair.
Daisies, looking at the sky.

Blue and far away.
Don't you have a lot of fun

Playing Milky Way?

The Long, Long Trail

Peter D. Barnhart Makes a Brief
Stop and Survey

We are now 700 miles from home, on
our way to Portland, and are entertained
by John Then, superintendent of the
ranch owned by Fritz Bahr and his asso-
ciates. This young man is making a great
success of the place, and in a few years
it will be a money making proposition for
those who have their money invested in
it.

The Ahnond crop this year will be a
big one, and the Prune trees are well
loaded with fruit. It must be borne in
mind that all these trees are young, four
to seven years old, not yet big enough to
yield a large toimage of fruit. Twenty
acres only have been planted to Prunes
this season.

A 15 horse power Diesel engine and a
deep well centrifugal propeller pump has
been installed, and now an abundance of
water for irrigating the 65 acres is avail-
able. The trees are as nearly perfect in
form and foliage as it is possible for trees
to be.

The early training of John Then in
growing plants for Chicago markets is a
valuable asset to him growing trees and
vines in California. He is thoroughly in
love with his work and with the State of
his adoption. His wife, a city bred and
reared woman, has adapted herself to
country life, and she, too, is making a
great success of her part of the ranch
activities.

Some day Fritz Bahr will have a de-
lightful home in the foothill section of
Northern California, where the Fig grows
to a degree of perfection unknown in the
southern part of the State; where Grapes
grow, rivaling in size of berry and of
bimch those of Eschol; where the Pome-
granate flourishes; the Olive not sur-
passed in quality by that grown in Italy,
and the Prune equal to best produced in
France. And that, too, in a climate free
from blizzards in Winter and terrifying
electrical storms in Summer.

Retail Trade

June 9. — Among the retail stores
trade is reported to be seasonably quiet
this week, although the closing exercises
in the local schools has created a small
amount of business for some of the stores.
Stock of most kinds has been plentiful,
but we have had a few days of hot weath-
er that has had its effect on the quality
of same. It is believed that with the
termination of the strikes affecting the
building trades, marine engineers and af-
filiated lines, retail trade generally will
show a better tone.
Notes

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington has issued a new ruling to
our local inspector with regard to the
fumigation of nursery stock, to the effect
that a certificate indicating that the stock

had been fumigated at point of shipment
does not entitle it to entry into the
United States without further fumigation.
The ruling was made on several shipments
of palm seeds which arrived during the
latter part of May. These had been fumi-
gated at port of origin, but had to be
again fumigated on arrival at San Fran-
cisco.

Among the visitors to town this week
were J. F. Ammann of J. F. Ammann &
Co., Chicago, 111., and Carl Gloeckner, Jr.,
of Henry F. ilichell Co., Philadelphia,
Pa. Mr. Ammann called in the interest
of the Publicity Campaign of the S. A. F.

Charles Abraham, of this city, has just
returned from an automobile trip to the
northern part of the State, including a
visit to the Cottage Gardens i^ursery at
Eureka, and to the nursery of Carl Purdy
at Ukiah.

H. Plath of the Ferneries and family,
leave shortly for two weeks' automobile
trip.

After several weeks spent at Byron Hot
Springs, Frank Pelieano of Pelicano,
Rossi &, Co., is back at the store again, in
good health and spirits.

Seed Notes

With a view of finding the variety of
Mangel Beet best adapted to poultry feed-
ing, the University of California has
planted 12 different varieties at its ex-
perimental station at Davis, Cal. Last
year the experiment was tried with a
limited number of varieties, one of the
Danish Slidestrup t^-pe taking the lead.

Minneapolis and St. Paul

The Northwest Peony and Iris Society
and the American Iris Society staged a
very interesting Iris show in the Pence
Automobile Showrooms at Eighth and
Hennepin aves., Minneapolis. This was
a two day show and although notices were
sent out just a few days before the show,
some 22 exhibitors brought in exhibits.
The place was ideal as regards streetcar
and traffic conditions and also on account
of the light showrooms. Several
thousand people visited the show the two
days and evenings it was open, making
it a success in everj- way. St. Paul is to
have two Peonv shows about the loth and
16th. One will be held at St. Paul Hotel
and the other at the First National Bank.
The First National Bank show is largely
amateur but nevertheless is interesting.

The Minnesota Horticultural Society
will have its Summer picnic and flower
show at University Farm. June 17. This
is one of the big shows of the year and
should bring out a good lot of Peonies,
Roses and various types of perennials.

The Ramsey County Garden Club will
visit the Brand Peony Gardens at Fari-
bault June 11. Mr. Brand is one of the
largest growers in this section of the
countrj- and has brought out some magni-
ficent new varieties. He has been called
East this week to judge at one of the large
Eastern shows.

John Nylof, formerly with Swansons,
Inc., Minneapolis, has entered the emplov
of Holm & Olson. St. Paul.

Harry Franklin Baker. 1118 W. Lake
St., Minneapolis, conducted a small Peony
show at his greenhouses June 10. He
showed some very nice varieties of
Peonies. C. R.

The Market

June 12. — There was a great change
in the market last week. Stock was so
plentiful that it had to be offered at a
low figure to keep it moving. Peonies
have slowed up considerably, although
those that were sent to the market
brought a fair price, despite the fact that
they were hadly up to the standard.
Larkspur dominates the market at the
present time and is moving very well.
Of course, demand alone sets the price on
this article, but as it happens the demand
is very fair as quite a few people use it,
mostly as a decorative flower.

Valley, orchids and white Roses are the
three most important flowers today, as
the June bride would not be completely
outfitted without at least one of the three.
Statistics show that the weddings this
year are far behind those of last year in
number, nevertheless the flowers just men-
tioned are moving on sight.

Coreopsis, Calendulas, Sweet Williams
and Baby's Breath are playing the lead-
ing roles in the colonial bouquet line, but
they do not linger long in the hands of
the trade as there is a lot of such work
being done here at this writing.

Cleveland Notes and Comments

Julius Dilloff, representing the
Wirtheimer Co. of New York, dropped
in on us recently to show some of his fine
wares. Among these was his new wife,
whom we were all glad to meet. Of course
he took our order.

Dr. A. Knapp, the celebrated Peony ex-
pert, spent a few hours with us discussing
that flower, and what he does not know
about a Peony would not be worth men-
tioning. Its culture is a real science with
him.

Mr. Frank Eitzenthaler, formerly of the
Knoble Bros. Co., passed away last Sun-
day, Jime 5. His f^meral was attended
by every florist in this city who could
possibly be present. The grave and the
canopy above it were one solid mass of
flowers.

Club Meeting

The florist club has decided to hold
its annual picnic at WiUowbeach Park.
Other arrangements as to the committee,
etc., are being made, and your correspond-
ent will supply more information a little
later, as the ball has only just started
rolling.

After eleven years of faithful service,
James McLaughlin has resigned from our
staff as Cleveland representative. His
present position as manager of the Cleve-
land branch of the ilcCallum Co. takes up
all his spare moments, inasmuch as he has
brought this firm up to the position of
leading florist supply house of the Fifth
City. E. J. S.

Don't Lose Your Balance

IRVINGTON
New York

Getting its balance, that's
what the whole country has
been doing lately.

It sure did look one time as
if a lot of somebodies, sure
were going to fall through
the glass.

But happily for all of us,
things are now back in bal-
ance and we are whistling
again while we work.

Business is sure fast getting
back on the sunny side of the
street.

Of course, you and I know
there are still a lot of fel-
lows who, like this chap in
the gutter illustrated, don't
dare take their eyes off their
feet.

You know, however, that
looking where you are walk-
ing to, is quite as important
as looking where you are
walking.

A lot of your friends, right
now have been looking down
so hard on the cost of build-
ing materials that they
haven't lifted their eyes up

This center gutter of ours
is not as wide as Atlantic
City's Board Walk, but it's
wide enough to easily walk in.
but not so wide it casts too
much shade. Sold by the foot
or mile. See page 40, Handy
Hand Book.

enough to see that it isn't
what a thing costs that's
the important thing.

It's how much you can make
that thing make you.

Or it's the difference between
the money to be made from a
new house this year, and the
money you lose if you don't
build.

What's that you say ?
"Prices have not yet struck
bottom."

Are you sure ?

Is anybody sure ?

Haven't you lately heard a
good bit of talk about all
building materials being
higher this Fall ?

If that's so, aren't you run-
ning the chance of waiting
so long for things to go
down, that you have waited
just long enough to see
them go up ?

Let's figure out together the
cost of a house.

You say when and where and
we'll be there.

American Peony Society

Eighteenth Annual Exhibition, Held in Conjunction with the M<iflHachuaetts Horticultural Society
Peony Show, at Boston, June 18 and 19. a Great Success

TIIK Amork'un Peony Society held Its ISth animal
exhibition in Ilorticnltni-al Hall. lioston, on
Jnne IS niul lit, In cumbinatlmi with the Peony
show of the Massachnsotts Hortk-nltiiral .Society. The
weather \vas uncommonly tine on liolli days and the
attendance left uothinj; to he desired. The show
proved a great success, no matter iu what light it may
be considered. The uuiuber of competitm-s was fairly
large in many classes, indeed much larger than might
have been e.xpected on account of the early season.
Practically speaking, the Peony season came to a close
a week or two ago in this section ot the country. In
spite of .these climatic handicaps, a goodly number
of local growers, either amateur or commercial, filled
the tables. Snre enough, many of the exhibits showed
the ett'eets of being held back, one way or another;
but at the same time, many exhibits delighted the
eye with their freshness and with the wonderful per-
fection of the blooms.

The display of varieties was unusually large in all
classes and many lots of prize blooms were the centers
of enthusiastic groups of Peony lOTers and connois-
seurs.

The officers of the American Peony Society were
present iu force, doing all in their power to make it
pleasant for the many visitors from afar and they
have good reason to feel satisfied with the outcome
of the exhibition and with the work which they have
clone to make it a success. Delegates and members
of the American Peony Society were present from
great distances in great numbers. Among the States
represented we may mention among others Pennsyl-
vania," New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Nebraska, Kansas, and from Canada,
the cities of Quebec and Toronto and London,

From his collection' of 450 varieties of Peonies,
grown on his estate at Ayer's Cliff, Quebec, Harry A.
Norton brought a fine assortment, taking home with
him a number of first-class trophies. After a Journey
of 250 miles, his flowers showed unusual freshness,
being in this respect far superior to the majority of
local exhibits. Some of Mr. Norton's blooms were
perfection itself. His flowers of the tree Peony, "La
Lorraine," attracted a great deal of attention on ac-
count of their color. They were the first of their
kind ever shown in the hall, as far as we know.
The beautiful shade of almost clear yellow was a
revelation and surprise to almost every visitor. -

The Cherry Hill Nurseries (T. C. Thurlow's Sons,
Inc.), West Newbury, Mass., made a grand display,
competing in almost every class and securing many
first awards. The firm staged about 7000 flowers in
all. The room next to the big hall was given over
entirely to a display of scores of the most popular
varieties. The walls of the room were hidden behind
a screen of fresh Cedars, against which the white,
red and pink of the thousands of blooms showed to
greatest advantage; 160 of the society's vases were
tastefully arranged along the sides, while the center
of the room was taken up with a large pyramid, built
up with Mountain Laurel, grown in tubs, the latter
hidden with Hemloek branches.

Harry A.. Norton's display of 25 vases fllled one
whole table at the left of the main hall. This exhibit
showed the best keeping qualities of any on exhibi-
tion, notwithstanding the fact that the flowers had
traveled all the way from Canada. The blooms were
of exceptional merit and included the following va-
rieties : Pinlv Baroness Schroeder ; Achille, delicate
shell pink, crinkled on edges; Madame Auguste Des-
sert, a beautiful soft pink; Reine Hortense, charming
soft flesh color with broad rounded petals; Duchess
<Je Nemours, white and others.

Iu the collection of not more than 100 varieties
double, one bloom of each, T. C. Thurlow's Son's, Inc.,
put up a superb display and took first prize. The fol-
lowing are a few of the varieties shown: President
Wilson (1918), soft rose pink, a grand Peony; La
Perle (Crousse, 1885), bluish white, in center, darker
toward the edge; Milton Hill, delicate flesh color, ex-
quisite form; La France, a very flne late variety of
enormous size, soft pink; Asa Gray; Marquis 0.
Lagergren ( Dessert, 1911 ) , brilliant cherry red ;
Phoebe Carey ; Karl Rosenf eld ; Faribault ; Coqueline,
china pink ; Mrs. C. S. Miuot ; Suzanne Dessert and

lot of Japanese single Peonies which included a great
number of the most beautiful varieties. These flowers
came in for much favorable comment, being especially
admired by the numerous amateurs, among whom
ladies were predominating. Flowers of every shade
Ivuown among Peonies and many curious forms of
petals and stamens could be observed; in every in-
stance, the more or less prominent yellow or pink
cushion, forming the center ot the flower, contrasting
agreeably with the surrounding guard petals. The
outstanding varieties in the lot were: The Dragon,
Isani Gidui, The Mikado, Edward VII, Sophia Hous-
ten, Wbite Lady and Tokio.

The Massachusetts Horticultural Society Show

T. C. Thurlow's Sons, Inc. were the only commer-
cial exhibitors in the show of the Massachusetts Hor-
ticultural Society. The flrm set up a collection of
20 named varieties, double, one flower of each and
captured first prize. The selection contained : Fran-
cois Willard, Aurora, Jules Calot, Avalanche, M.
Dupont, James R. Mann, H. A. Gagen, Baroness
Schroeder, Eugene Bigot, Madame Jules Dessert,
Sarah Bernhardt, Faribault, Solange, Mme. Boulan-
ger, Mme. Emile Galle, Winnikenni, Claire Dubois,
Katherine Havemeyer and Albert Crousse.

The most attractive feature of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society display was that of J. T. But-
terworth of Framingham, whose display of Miltonia
vexillaria varieties consisted of 56 large sized plants.
The wonderful waxy flowers of the most delicate
shades of pink and lavender, with their yellow hearts
hung in large clusters of graceful sprays against a
solid background of evergreen boughs, presenting a
picture which appealed to everyone's sense of beauty.
A more charming view can l^ardly be imagined than
that presented by these thousands of Pansy-like
jewels. The extremely refined looking flowers ot Mil-

liinia art; becoming en Vduiic in the most select so-
ciety; there are no other orchids with the possible
e.\ce|illon of Odontoglossums and Oncidiums, which
IcTul themselves so well and appropriately for the
making up of bridal bouquets or many other pur-
poses. Mr. Butterworth was awarded a gold medal
for his exhibit.

Miss Rachel A. Butterworth, the enthusiastic and
able assistant of her father, showed a charming deco-
rative arrangement, consisting of cut orchids. A flat
liowl, filled with artistically placed sprays of Mil-
tnnia, was fianked on each side by vases containing
sprays of Oncidium flexuosum, whose bright yellow
contrasted finely with the soft shades of pink and
yellow iu the Miltonias. A few bits of Epidendrum
prismaticarpum, E. radicans and a few flowers of
Cypripedium Lawrencianum helped to make the whole
a most pleasing picture, much admired by the ladies.

Julius Heurlin (Blue Hill Nur.series), showed, a
collection of fine seedlings of Iria.lffiviga'tils,.12' vases
in all. The variations in form and coloring were well
worth studying.

Mrs. W. M. Clark, Sharon, Mass., also showed three
vases of Iris seedlings and Hillcrest Gardens had a
very interesting lot of South African wild flowers.

American Peony Society Dinner and Meeting

The business meeting, preceded by the usual ban-
quet, was held on Saturday evening, June IS, in the
banquet room of Horticultural Hall.

About 60 members enjoyed a most bounteous and
well chosen dinner, presided over by President L. R.
Bonnewitz who, in his short address, expressed the
hope that more attention might be paid by the society
to the amateur Peony growers. R. T. Brown of
Queens, L. I., Mr. Hoytt of Danbury, Conn., Wm. A.
Peterson of Chicago, W. N. Smith of Wellesley and
the Messrs. Thurlow made short addresses. J. C.
Wister of Philadelphia made a plea for the growing
of more Tree Peonies and Mrs. W. Chawford of La-
porte, Ind., was supported in her remarks by Profes-
sor Saunders that the Peony Society should hold two
shows each year, one in the Southern and one in the
Western or Northern part of the country. The dif-
ference in climatic conditions really make such a
move necessary, if all intending exhibitors are to
have a fair opportunity to show their flowers when
the same are in the best condition. Treasurer A. H.
Scott submitted his financial report which showed a
good balance in the society's favor. The membership
of the society was over 450 and over 100 new mem-
bers joined during the exhibition.

On motion of A. H. Fewkes a unanimous vote of
thanks was tendered to the firm of T. C. Thurlow's
Sons, Inc., for the great efforts made in behalf of the
society's exhibition.

The next meeting of the society will be at London,
Ontario, Canada.

of

The CoiiinuTcial Flowor (Jrnwers of Chicago was
organized in .Marcli 1018 anil held its first business
meeting in June of that year. It was the first or-
ganization of this Isind in the country and has since
grown into widespread proportions ; many State or-
ganizations as well as a strong National society, aris-
iBg out of it. -Mthougli quite young the organization
J§ productive of much good and may be relied upon
for still greater usefulness for the branch of our
industry it so well represents.

Peter Pearson

President Commercial Flower Growers of Chicago

In June 191S It elected as Its first president, Joseph
Kohout, Libertyville, 111., vice-president, Peter Pear-
son, Chicago, Otto H. Amling, Maywood, 111., as sec-
retary, and N. J. Wletor, treasurer. Since its incep-
tion it has been a live organization the meetings all
being well attended. Timely subjects were discussed,
and then in a spirit of friendly competition, the mem-
bers vied with each other in a display of some of their
products at nearly all the meeting. Roses, Carna-
tions, Sweet Peas, Chrysanthemums, Cyclamen, or
whatever was in season. The business meetings
were of such interest to the members, that the won-
der was how they had managed to get along as well
as they did before this society was inaugurated.

At the end of the first business year, the officers
who had done so well and had undertaken so much
more for the benefit of the members — some of the
work not at that time complete — were, as a tribute
to their ability, asked to continue in ofBce for a
second term which terminated last Thursday even-
ing in a manner befitting this wideawake organiza-
tion.

The Commercial Mower Growers started on their
third year of business on Thursday evening, June 16,
with a banquet and stag entertainment at the Hotel
Randolph. There was a full attendance of member-
ship and several invited friends, about 150 in all
partaking of a most delectable menu.

During the feast, there was an enjoyable entertain-
ment program headed by Valarie "Walker, the singing

.school teacher. In popular selections; The Triangle
Trio, Musical Comedians; Irma Glenn, Novelty Songs
and Dancing. There was also community singing,
the monibers all joining in making it an evening of
great pleasure.

Tlie annual election of oHlcers was held In a short
business session before the banquet which resulted
in tile following selection: Peter Pearson, president;
Ci'o. liall, vici'-president ; Otto II. Amling, secretary;
.\. J. Wletor, treasurer.

The committee in charge of the evening's enter-
la inuient was highly complimented on its efforts which
was only in line with the good work done by the
iirganization as a whole. It now has 115 members
in good standing who are regular attendants at the
meetings and enthusiastic workers as well. These
members jointly operate nine million square feet of
glass, all supplying the great Chicago wholesale cut
flower market. A drive has been declared on for more
membership the ultimate goal of which is 100 per cent
of Chicago growers. There is also a drive on for a
fuller membership in the S. A. F., both to be worked
in conjunction. The July and August meetings have
been called off, the next regular meeting will there-
fore be held in September.

At the close of the meeting August Poehlmann pre-
sented the retiring president Joseph Kohout with a
silver coffee service to which Mr. Kohout feelingly
responded.

The Officers-Elect

Peesid^kt Peaeson is a noted plant grower special-
izing in Cyclamen, Begonias, and other blooming
plants for the holiday trade. He is an expert forcer
of French and Holland bulbs. In Narcissus, Darwin
Tulips, etc., he has established at his greenhouses,
5732-5752 Gunneson st., a large tract devoted entirely
to their culture, having raised many seedlings of
merit. During the war he offered to the local trade,
American grown bulbs in his specialities that were
highly appreciated at a time when import stock was
difficult to get. Besides a good grower, he is a force-
ful speaker and keen debater. Under his administra-
tion the growers may be assured of another successful
year.

• Vice-Pbesident Geo. Ball is one of Chicago's suc-
cessful growers, specializing in Sweet Peas, Calendu-
las, Chrysanthemums, and various sundry stock. He
believes in the maxim of what he does to do it well.
Ball's Giant King Calendula has for the past few
years been the favorite on the Chicago market. His
new Sweet Pea, Columbia, disseminated by him the
past season has become a favorite with growers every-
where. Mr. Ball has an up-to-date establishment and
residence at Glen Ellyn a short distance beyond May-
wood and the Elgin & Aurora Electric Railway.

Seceetaey Otto H. Amling is the directing spirit of
the Albert F. Amling Co., Rose growers at Maywood,
111. The continuation of Mr. Amling in office of sec-
retary was a wise one on the part of the members.
It would be difficult for them to find one so fully
qualified. He Is a mathematician of rare ability;
can compute at a glance the overhead cost of a house
of Roses, the number of blooms each plant will pro-
duce, the cost of upkeep per square foot, on house,
the labor, fertilizer, marketing, profit or loss, the
probable price; all these are on his tongue with but
a moment of calculation. His business is run along
on a strict system ; every detail is watched and any-
thing that might clog the production end of his estab-
lishment is removed by intelligent pressure that keeps
the business flow of this great establishment going
smoothly from one season's end to another.

TsEASUHEE N. J. WiETOE Is sculor head of Wletor
Bros., wholesale growers for the Chicago market, who
wholesale their own stock at 30 E. Randolph st. Their
greenhouse establishment is on Devon ave., where they
are extensive growers of Roses, Carnations and Chrys-
anthemums. Mr. Wletor is vice-president of the Chrys-
anthemum Society of America.

National Flower Growers
Association

Ohio District

(By u'irc to The Flowsts' Exchange)
If the future of the Ohio District of the National
Flower Growers Association can lie judged by its first
meeting, its success will be assured. Sixty-five of the
leading florists of the State gathered tor two interest-
ing sessions at Hotel Deshler, Columbus, 0., Tuesday,
June 21. The afternoon meeting was addressed by
Herman Knoble on the question of "Cost Systems for
the Grower." Mr. Knoble's address was one of the
most valuable and exhaustive studies on this impor-
tant question that has ever been presented to the
industry. His analysis of the costs that enter into
the growing of cut flowers and plants was illumina-
tive, as it brought out many small items that are
commonly skipped by the average florist in figuring
the cost of production and whicli make up the dif-
ference between profit and loss. The evening session

Saying it with Flowers

Under this caption recently appeared In the Evening
World (N. Y.) a cartoon by John Cassel In which
President Harding is depicted holding in his left arm
a huge basket of flowers entitled "Peace Policy," from
whence he is scattering them over some rather tin-
promising looking ground.

At times when thinking over the subject of the flo-
rists' slogan, "Say It with Flowers," one Is lemlnded
of a million dollar corporation possessing big assets
which it Is allowing to be dissipated through non-
use, for the world at large, outside of the florists, Is to-
day seemingly really doing more for the perpetuation
of the slogan than are the florists themselves, this
being evidenced In every direction by the frequency
of the use of its slogan as a catch line for an intro-
duction to ads of all sorts of enterprises.

George Ball

Vice-President Commercial Flower Growers of Chicago

was devoted to the election of officers and to a most
interesting address by George Asmus of Chicago on
"Merchandising for the Retail Grower." Mr. Asmus
in his talk pointed out many opportunities for creat-
ing new business that are missed by the average flo-
rist, such as birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and
every other occasion where remembrances are cus-
tomary.

The following officers were elected for the coming
year: Carl Hagenburger, president, and George Bate,
treasurer, were unanimously re-elected for their re-
spective offices. Louis Murphy of Cincinnati was
elected lor first vice-president and J. L. Schiller of
Toledo, second vice-president, with the following addi-
tional as directors: R. Witterstaetter, Cincinnati;
Horace Frank, Dayton; Albert Eden, Sebring, O. ;
William Meine, Youngstown; Charles Macfarland,
Akron ; William Krueger, Toledo.

The American Seed Trado Association
convention opens in St. Louis as we go
to press, therefore it is impossible for us
to give any of the details of the proceed-
ings in this issue. Secretary Kendel ad-
vises us, however, that he is looking for
a large attendance on account of the de-
mand for badges from intending delegates
there. On the Tuesday afternoon pre-
ceding the opening session, the first an-
nual seed trade 18-hole blind bogey golf
match was run off at the Kirkwood Coun-
try Club, the prize being a silver cup do-
nated by the local St. Louis seedsmen.
This was followed by a buffet lunch and
a dance in the afternoon.

New York Seed Trade

Spring Sales 1921

It is unanimously reported by the
seedsmen of this city that sales for
February, March and April were larger
than those in the corresponding month of
1920, but on the other hand, sales during
May were considerably smaller than in
that month last year.

The truth of the old saying, "It is an ill
wind that blows nobody good," is proved
by the extremely active demand for gar-
den hose and sprinklers in the seed stores
at this time, consequent upon the present
protracted drought which is having such a
damaging effect not only upon cultivated
crops, but also upon the meadow and pas-
ture lands and lawna.

Frencli Bulbs

Not only some forcers, but even some
of the smaller dealers in French bulbs
seem to fail to get a clean cut idea of the

Notes from Abroad

Since the last notes under this head-
ing were penned, some local thunder
showers have fallen in the seed growing
districts, but the drought, on the whole,
continues and threatens to assume seri-
ous proportions. The former satisfactory
prospects are now already considerably di-
minished. Peas are very short in the
haulm and losing their natural greenness
at the base. Beans are suffering badly
from the black fly and Cabbages are also
attacked by their inveterate dry weather
enemies. Among flower seeds. Wallflowers
are not doing very well and another poor
crop is likely to ensue. Rain is urgently
needed if the crops in general are to be
anywhere near the normal standard.

Holland reports similar conditions. The
drought has begun to affect all classes of
bulbs from the fleshy Hyacinth dovra to
the coriaceous Ranunculus, and both the
size and abundance of the crop is threat-
ened.

In Denmark, the season is unusually
forward and reports speak of a "green
Whitsimtide," but up to date there has
been sufficient moisture to ensure a fairly
good stand of the greater part of the
plantation.

It appears possible that the movement
to protect the raisers of new plants may
take a concrete form 'ere long, though,
hitherto, writers in the press have devoted
more attention to pointing out difficul-
ties than to the means of overcoming them.
By way of a beginning, an International i
Registration Bureau has been formed> i
with headquarters in Paris, by which for
a fee of ten francs, novelties may be regis-
tered, the selected name to have prefer-
ence in all the countries concerned and
duplication thus be avoided. Further de-
velopments are foreshadowed, so we may
hope that the brainy horticulturalist of
the future may escape the traditional fate
of pioneers, lately exemplified in the case
of the inventor of the cinematograph, who
led others on the way to the riches which
he missed himself.

present situation. There is in France, we
are informed, a French bulb growers*
syndicate or association which was formed
a number of years ago; there is also a
French Bulb Exporters' syndicate or as-
sociation of more recent formation. These
syndicates named a certain price this sea-
son for Narcissi of different varieties and
sizes. The English importers refused to
buy at these prices; the American im-
porters later refused to buy, unless the
French syndicates agreed to sell at cer-
tain prices. Some Holland importers be-
gan buying at the French prices, but have
ceased buying. The outcome is awaited.
It appears to be the Frenchmen's move
next; possibly they have even now made
their next move. Surely, we will know
soon from some reliable source. Mention
has been made of their having been in
past years an embargo by the French offi-
cials on the export of all French bulbs.
We think that this embargo was on Ro-
man Hyacinths only and that Narcissi
were not included. Again it has been
suggested that Freesias might take the
place this year of French Narcissi if no
Narcissi are imported, but that will hard-
ly be feasible if, as now reported, there
is only about a 40 to 50 per cent crop of
California Freesias.
Among tlie Seedsmen

W. E. Marshall & Co., 166 W. 23d st.,
report that the selling season of 1921,
which is now drawing to a close, has on
the whole been a busy and satisfactory
one. The firm is now mailing out its Mid-
summer and Autumn list. Mr. Marshall
is on a business trip West, and Mr.
Wheeler is looking out for the store end
of the business.

The annual Peony display at Peter
Henderson & Co.'s, 35-37 Cortlandt St.,
which always attracts so much well de-
served attention, opened this year with a
large display of blooms, on May 31, and
ended on June 11. The period of this dis-
play,_ on acouint of the peculiar weather
conditions, was shorter than usual. This
firm has practically reached the end, as
far as seed and plant sales are concerned,
of a busy season, and is now engaged
taking an inventory of stock.

The last of the Spring auctions of the
MacNiff Horticultural Co., Inc., 52-54
Vesey St., was held on Tuesday, Jime 21.
Robert W. MacNiff, president of this com-

Eany, says that this season has been with
is company much like one of the old
time seasons; stock has been ample and of
good quality, sales large and prices satis-
factory, and at the bi-weekly auctions
many of the company's old time customers
were seen. Nest week this company ex-
pects to be entirely removed into its new
quarters at 196 Greenwich st., occupying
the five story building at that number.

Stumpp & Walter Co., 30-32 Barclay
St., is featuring this week garden hose
and menders and sprinklers; lawn mowers
and rollers and grass shears; mole traps,
garden baskets, rustic vases, etc., in an
excellently arranged window display.

Vaughan's Seed Store, 41-43 Barclay st.,
reports an active demand for florists'
flower seeds, particularly perennials and
greenhouse annuals, while the counter
trade in seeds and insecticides still re-
mains lively. E. A. Hartland and Edward
Boylan have been making out of town
trade and private calls during the past
week with satisfactory results.

Dietz & Trivett, 15 Park pi., say that
they are well satisfled with their season's
business. Orders for Autumn bulba and
field seeds for Autumn sowing are coming
in freely. They are now sending out their
Strawberry lists. Mr. Trivett is out on
a business trip and Mr. Dietz is busy at
their Park pi. quarters.

Madison M. Esterley, manager for J. M.
Thorburn & Co., in a recent automobile
trip down the Jersey Coast as far as Long
Branch, found, he rei)orts, garden and
truck farm crops, in spite of the drought,
in fair condition, and that Currants, Rasp-

A REAL

Root Maggot Remedy

Insures a good crop of

Radishes, Kale, Cabbage, Onions*
Turnips, Cauliflower Etc.

Magotite acts as a preventive

by repelling the Fly, which lays the
egga from which the maggots are
hatched. It also destroys maggots
which are already in the soil. It
has proved very effective in com-,
bating Earth" Worms of all kinds,
the Strawberry Crown Borer, Cab-
bage Worms, Asparagus Miner,
Flea Beetles, Cut Worms and all
kinds of Slugs.

Simply sprinkle in and over the
drills when seeding, and aroimd the
roots when planting, and after the
plants are through it is sprinkled
around and alongside of them.

It is not injurious to plant life in
any way, but on the contrary is a
valuable stimulant and fertilizer.

A 4-lb. package will cover about
300 feet of drill, mixed with soil
at planting time, with an occasional
top dusting as a preventive during
the growing period. For Field
Culture the approximate quantity
required is from 300 to 500 lbs.
per acre.

Ltd., Lisse, Holland, that a severe hail-
storm on June o last caused considerable
damage in the Tulip district around Bev-
er^\Tk, a village situated about 1.5 miles
north of Haarlem. The storm was so
severe that the foliage of tlie Tulips was
destroyed leaving only the bare stems.
This, together with the already sparse
crop of Tulips, will undoubtedly have its
influence on the quality.

Chicago Seed Trade

Chicago seed houses will be well repre-
sented at Memphis, Tenn., and St. Louis,
Mo., this week. Representatives left
Sunday for Memphis, and with the St.
Louis meetings will put in a full week.
Both conventions promise much of interest
to all.

At Henderson's Seed Store, while retail
sales are tapering off gradually, there is
still considerable business in vegetable
and flowering plants. Wm. Langhout who
represents this house on the road has just
returned from the Pacific Coast with sev-
eral well filled order books.

E. B. Hojve, president of the W. W.
Barnard Co., left Sunday for Memphis,
Term., on his round of the seed trade con-
ventions, where he will be joined by W.
C. Bertoli. Mr. Howe reports a satisfac-
tory windup to their season's retail
business in plants and seeds. The house is
offering to the trade some English and
German grown Cyclamen seed for Angust
and September delivery.

The Leonard Seed Co. up to this time
has conducted the main business office on
the first floor at 226-2.30 W. Kinzie St.,
are making a change in their arrangements
so that the offices hereafter will be on the
second floor of the building. The packing
and shipping rooms will occupy the space on
the first floor so vacated, an advantage it
is claimed for both departments.

A aughan's Seed Store is sending out in-
vitations to risit its Gladiolus farms at
Ovid, Mich. The crops will be best for
inspection after Aug. 1. The farm is lo-
cated on the Grand Eapids, Detroit Divi-
sion of the Grand Trunk R. E. and the
auto route main State highwav line from
Grand Eapids to Detroit, this is one
, of the most extensive farms in the 'West,
and where there are man.v rare novelties
as well and the leading commercial varie-
ties cultivated on a large scale.

A. Miler, president of the American
Bulb Co., states that business has been
highly satisfactory with his company. He
believes the general conditions throughout
the country are such as will warrant im-
proving conditions for the remainder of
the season.

Kansas City Seed Trade

Local trade in flower seed this Spring
has been highly satisfactory, according to
several distributors. Glenn Harnden, of
the Harnden Seed Co., remarked that the
local retail business in seeds has kept up
much better than wholesale distribution,
flowers having a goodly share in this de-
mand. Other retailers report that flower
seed sales have been much stronger than
last year, and far ahead of vegetable seed
sales. One factor has been the extensive
preparation of home grounds for people
moving into new residences. But this
does not account for all the strength. It
is evident that the public generallv is
turning again to the beautification of
their surroundings. An influence perhaps
has been the propaganda in behalf of citv
beatitifieation in preparation for the
American Legion convention in October.
Everybody is being urged to paint up and
clean up and beautify. Another influence
has been the lowering prices of food prod-

Southern Seedsmen's Association

Memphis (Tenn.) Convention, June 20 and 21, 1921

The ilemphis convention closed on
Tuesday, June 21, the program ha%'ing
been carried out in full except the address
by Prof. Lloyd, "Relations of the Seeds-
man to the Farmer," which vras not de-
livered owing to the inability of the pro-
fessor to be present.

There were 79 delegates present, about
half of whom left in a body for the Ameri-
can Seed Trade Convention at St. Louis,
on Tuesday night, taking the 10.10 p.m.
train out.

President, Joseph Steckler, Xew Orleans.
First Vice-President, D. E. Mayo,
Knoxville, Tenn.

Second Vice-President, Dick O'Bannon,

members and fire associate members.

ucts. When vegetables are low in price,
people don't care to plant; they turn their
energies and their desire for garden work
to the planting and cultivation of flowers.
The same proportionate increase in desire
for flowers over food plants is shown in
the sale of plants. The unseasonable
weather has been a strong factor in the
movement of vegetable seed and plants,
and temporarily was a factor with refer-
ence to floral needs also, but this influence
is now past. While the sudden coming of
hot weather after unseasonable cold and
wet deterred much planting, there are so
many flowers that may be planted late
with hope of success that the net result
is expected to be a large volume of flower
planting.

The Drought Danger

From many quarters, the effect of
drought upon all kinds of crops is being
reported. Particularly is this so where
light sandy soils exist. Even owners of
gardens are considerably disturbed, for as
is usually the case when drought checks
growth, insect pests of all kinds are nu-
merous. A veritable plague of aphis is
affecting Peas, Beans and other lines, both
vegetable and floral. From Europe too
reports are by no means satisfying. All
the great seed growing centers are calling
for rain and the prospects for Peas, Beans
and certain other crops are decidedly bad.
Aphis and other pests are rife ever\~\vhere.
Even the bulb crops in Holland are seri-
ously affected ; the drought causing a
cessation of growth so that all kinds of
bulbs will average smaller and probably
below the anticipated quantity.

Washington, D. C.

Summer Slump Has Arrived,

The tide has turned. Whereas, up
to about June 1-i, there was a marked
shortage of flowers of all kinds, the suc-
ceeding days saw stocks coming into the
local market in such quantities that the
wholesalers found it a very difficult mat-
ter to put the flowers in water. The day
The Exchange correspondent visited the
wholesale houses he was informed by one
that but a single telegram had been re-
ceived that day, and it called for a ship-
ment of greens; other days it had been
impossible to take care of wire orders
because of the shortage of flowers.

Roses are being offered by the thou-
sands. One house had 10,000 good ones
come in on top of more than half that
number left over from the day before,
and there was not a single chance of get-
ting any money out of them. Added to
the wholesalers' troubles is the arrival on
consignment of odd lots of stock from
amateur growers, who seem to think that
every day is a Mother's Day or a Me-
morial Day. The flowers they send in are
poor in quality and in mixed bunches,
and they are sadly disappointed when they
find out that there is no market for them.
Xext year, however, the same peoole will
send in the same kind of stuff just be-
cause on the holidays mentioned a short-
age will exist and some pin money will
be returned to these amateurs.

Gladioli find the best market because
of their lasting qualities, but the price hii.':
dropped to a new low point of S8 per 100,
the best bringing §15 and under as against
i520 and -$25 during the previous weeks.
There are plenty of southern Gladioli
coming in but they are of inferior quality
in comparison with the local stock and
do not find favor with the buyers of flow-
ers. A considerable stock of Lily of the
Valley has been offered. Camationa are
still to be had in quantities, but they are

valueless at this season of the year. For-
getmenot is still with us, but poor in
quality. Hydrangea blooms find a limited
sale for use in funeral work. Sweet Peas
are not much good.

Business up to the middle of the month
was exceptionally good, but with the ar-
rival of true Summer weather the slump
came and aside from a few wedding and
funeral orders, which have called for a
rather plentiful supply of stock but which
failed to make more than a small ripple
in the market, there has not been much
doing. The clerks in the stores are taking
in the ball games and looking at railroad
time tables preparatory to taking their
usual Summer vacations. It now looks
like a long, liard pull until after Labor
Day.

City News

Miss Amelia Gude, daughter of
William F. Gude, and her cousin, Adolph
E. Gude, son of Adolph Gude, sr., and
Herbert A. Holm, whose father is a mem-
ber of the firm of Holm and Olson of St.
Paul, Minn., have gone to Xew York
where they will spend ten days taking a
course in interpretative floral art under
the guidance of Mas Schling. The three
"students" are members of the store force
of Gude Bros. Co. Mrs. Adolph Gude, jr.,
will join her husband in Xew Tork for
the weekend.

Among the excursionists who formed the
Merchants and Manufacturers' Associa-
tion Boosters party which went down the
river to Norfolk and historic Yorkto-mi,
A a., with a side trip to Virginia Beach for
a dip in the ocean were George H. Shaffer
and G. Milton Thomas. There were a
niunber of celebrities on the boat, which
was chartered for the occasion, includ-
ing George B. Christian, Jr., secretary
to the President; Senator L. H. Ball,
Congressmen Zihlman and Fitzgerald and
E. W. Camp, clerk of the House Ways
and !Means Conunittee.

Following an illness that kept her con-
fined to her room for more than two years,
Mrs. Mary L. Ptmiphrey, mother of' Mrs.
Ehner C. Mayberry, wife of the head of
the Dupont Flower Shop, passed away at
her late home at Meadows, Md., at" the
age of 65 years. The illness of Mrs. Pum-
phrey was brought about by grief over the
death of her husband about eight years
ago and nothing could be done for her.
She was noted for her kindness and char-
itable work and her passing is a matter of
deep regret to the hundreds of people
who knew her.

Among the visitors here this week were
Charles H. Weiss of Portsmouth, Va.,
and E. J. Fancourt of the S. S. Pennock
Co., Philadelphia.

W. E. Hawley of Gude Bros. Co., ac-
companied by Mrs. Hawley and young
Hawley, Jr., will spend the month of July
at Atlantic City.

The store force at Gude Bros. Co. gave
a royal welcome last week to James Daly,
who has been absent for a number of
weeks on account of illness. He was tajsen
quite seriously ill about two months ago
and his condition became worse, necessi-
tating his removal to a local hospital
where he spent the succeeding five weeks.
There followed a long interval at home
recuperating and now he is able to go
outdoors. However, it will probably be
several months before he can again take
up his duties at the store.

Mr. Daly was stationed in France dur-
ing the late war and while there he picked
up a great deal of information of floral
art which he put into use at Gude Bros.
He has been able to develop designs that
liave attracted widespread attention here.
His work has been very artistic and his
designs gave him an opportunity to iise
fruits in connection with flowers, follow-
ing French customs. E. A. D.

Hot "Weather Affects Stock

Excesive heat has favored the
South for several days, and the floral busi-
ness has suffered accordingly. Business,
from a trade standpoint, has been good,
but the supply of flowers has been low,
and dealers have 'not been able to supply
the demand. Little or no rain has been
seen and the growth of the plants has been
stunted. Plants are small and the heat
keeps them from budding. Naturally
there are few full blooms and those few
are exceedingly small. It is hard at
present to get any blooms that are in any
way satisfactory.

The filling of orders is conditional, and
in some cases it is said that orders must
be placed a day or so ahead, and then it
is a hard matter for the florists to fill
them. Greenhouse stock at this time of
the year is just about a dead number and
the outside flowers are depended upon.
Due to the lack of rain and the excessive
heat that has been general for two weeks
or more, outside stock has not been doing
well at all and florists believe that the
rest of the Summer will be marked by a
big shortage of flowers.

Gladioli, Calendulas and Marigolds are
about done and florists say that Del-
phinium and Golden Glow as well as the
majority of outside flowers are bloom-
ing verj' little. Roses are also slow and
the buds that are blooming are small.
There is very little life in the flowers
that are to be had and they must be dis-
posed of almost as soon as they are picked.

A great fear is held at present for
Zinnias. It is said that the crop is small
and fast vanishing. Sweet Peas are about
dead; the season started so early and the
weather has been so hot that the crop is
done. Due to the fact that the blooms
were forced by the jump from cool wea-
ther right into hot, early in the season,
the supply is not holding out.

The demand for Carnations is large,
but the flowers and supply are small, and
it is said that they will not hold out for
any length of time. Just about all the
plants are out of the greenhouses now
and the Fall stock is being set in. Roses,
Carnations and Chrysanthemums are the
leaders.

This last week has been a good one for
the fimeral trade. Several prominent
people have died and there have been
quite a number of large funerals out in
the State. Commencement exercises have
also brought in a great deal of business,
and wedding trade has helped to keep
things going.
A New Orcliid Grower

Henry Kleinstranink, who conducts
a local greenhouse business, is just com-
pleting a new building which he will de-
vote to orchids exclusively. He has a good
' stock of several years old bulbs, and it is
said that from now on he will supply the
demand for orchids throughout a good
section of the country. His orchid house
will be the only one in this section.

Ferns are just about all that remain of
the potted plants on the market, every-
thing else having been affected by the
heat.

Texas State Florists Association

The dates set for this meeting cover
July 12 to 14 and it is to be held in San
Antonio. The following well known gen-
tlemen have been asked to be present: W.
H- Englehart, president Tennessee State
Florists Association; J. F. Animann, chair-
man ^Membership Committee and past
president S. A. F.: John Young, secretarv
S. A. F. and O. H.; E. G. Hill of Rich-
mond, Ind.: Henry Penn. chairman Pub-
licity Committee, S. A. F.; Albert Poche-
lon, secretary F. T. D.; Wm. F. Gude,
Washington representative, S. A. F.; A.
S. Gray, president Oklahoma State Flo-
rists Association.

In a letter received from R. C. Kerr
of Houston, Texas, that gentleman sug-
gests that if some of our nationally dis-
tinguished florists from long distances
outside the State of Texas could see their
way clear to attend this convention every
florist inhabitating Texas would feel it
incumbent upon him to be present.

We suggest further that in obtaining a
member for the Texas State Florists As-
sociation, it would be good policy to en-
deavor to interest the same prospect in
becoming a member of the S. A. F. Also,
it would be a fine idea, indeed, if every
employer saw to it that his employees,
especially the more prominent thereof, be-
came members of at least the home or-
ganization.

Sewickley (Pa.) Hort. Society

The regular monthly meeting of the
above society was held in the Public
School Room on Tuesday evening, June
14, and proved a most successful and en-
couraging meeting.

Delphiniums, Cauliflower, Peaa and
Roses were the scheduled exhibits, Her-
man Rapp of Leetsdale carrying off the
major points, for Delphiniums and Roses,
with J, Barnett second, with Cauliflower
and Peas, and H. Gibson third with
Delphiniums and Peas. Amateur classes
were strong, and a great variety of gar-
den produce of high quality was staged by
them.

A display of Sweet Peas, by J. Carman
received honorable mention, and the ex-
hibit was truly a creditable one in ^dew

I of the dry warm season experienced in
! this locality. Mr. Carman is a great en-
thusiast for Sweet Peas, growing many
varieties, among them some that are not
yet on the market, but forwarded him
] by certain growers to test out.
' Progress was reported by the Dahlia
' Show Committee and everything points
! toward a magnificent display during the
j first week in October, if Jack Frost only
I conducts himself as we all trust he will
1 during the early days of the Fall.
i In view of the fact that the proposed
Chrysanthemum show would follow very
closely on the Dahlia show, it was decided
to forego a regular show, and hold a
Chrysanthemum night at our regular
meeting in November.

*Mums for Profit

Tlifu- isn't any .lonl.t hnt what Chrys-
anthcniiinis will hiin^' fair prices next
Fall. PcrsonuUy, I believe that from the
viewpoint of the rt'luil Rrower, they will
pay better than ever and especially ao
to those who arrange matters so that they
are able to cut fUtwers from t!ie middle
of October until Christmas. If you are
a small giower, take atlvantage of tempo-
rary frames to handle the extra early
Pompons outdoors; this will give you more
room inside for the midseason and late
sorts. Of these don't confine yourself to
just two or three sorts; try to have a good
assortment, even if only a few of each;
have flowers to cut and for your patrons
to look at all through the season. When-
ever you can purchase fiowers at a rea-
sonable price do so and hold your own
for special occasions. Chrysanthemums
are not like Roses which have to be cut
the day they are ready; they will last
for many days on the plants. I suggest
for every retail grower to devote as much
space as he can to 'Miuns, especially the
smaller flowering sorts, and prepare dur-
ing the next few months other crops to
follow them later on. If you can cut
flowers up to Christmas, you can afford
to wait a few weeks after Christmas until
other crops come along. It certainly looks
now as if all the flowers which can be
produced under glass next Fall and Win-
, ter will find a ready market, not only that,
but better prices than ever will be ob-
tained, not to say that it doesn't cost
more than ever to produce the crop.

Controlling 'Mum Troubles

Most of us can remember when Chrys-
anthemums were about the easiest crop to
grow under glass. Midge, leaf roller and
about a dozen or so other troubles were
unknown and a little spraying kept aphis
down. There are still growers today who
sail along smoothly, but if they stick long
enough, they too will get acquainted with
some of the many diseases and insect
pests. While I haven't any particular
kind of insecticide to recommend, I
know that keeping your eyes open and

closely examining the phmts each day,
using a good sprayer with a nicotine so-
lution, will keep most tPDublos in check.
That and keeping :i clean bench. By hand-
picking of catorpillar.s and making good
use of the hose, there is little occasion
for a crop failure. The time, however,
is over when you can let the plants drift
for themselves; to grow a bench of 'Mums,
even Pompons, costs more than ever to-
day and only by careful attention can
most of us make them pay. The more
small plants or rooted cuttings you pur-
chase from different sources, the more on
the lookout you must be to keep out
trouble, not to say that your own stock
isn't in need of looking after. Have a
good supply of whatever insecticide you
make use of on hand, and use it properly.
You can't go through the benches too often
to pyamine the plants and right now is the
time to start out. Keep it up all Sum-
mer.

Flowering Plants for Next Winter

Do you realize that next Winter will
be the greatest season we have ever had
for the disposal of flowering pot plants?
More Cyclamens, Begonias, Cleveland
Cherries, Primroses and Cinerarias will
be sold than ever, to say nothing of Ericas,
Poinsettias, Ardisias and many other
beautiful plants. I know the retail grower
can't grow successfully, all of them, but
he can grow some though often he neg-
lects to do so. Quite a number can suc-
cessfully be bandied in cool houses; the
Primroses, Cyclamen, Cherries, Cinerarias,
Ericas and Calceolaria.s are among them
and of these, small but well established
plants can be obtained from the specialist
from now on up to mid-Winter. There
are plenty of occasions when you can use
to advantage. Cyclamen, Primroses and
other stock in madeup baskets and hamp-
ers, even when not A No, 1, and it will
pay almost any retail grower from now to
be on the look out for small plants. Pur-
chase such and grow them on. Before we
know it, Fall will be here again and your
patrons will be asking for plants in bloom.
Get ready now, make up your mind to
grow at least a few things and grow them

We have taken The Exchange for a long time

right.— Mrs. N. B., Ind

well, or the best you can. Buy what
"■■^ecimena you need from the large grower
you will still find good use for all of
your own.

Be Good to Your Palms

Almost any palm nirans money today.
We little appreciated the value of palms
when they were cheap, but we do now and
the average retail grower has more oc-
casion to use palms for decorating than
ever. For this purpose even plants not
altogether perfect are well worth having.
There is no work of greater importance
right now than that of attending to the
stock in the palm house. A run down
palm often requires years to nurse back
into shape again, but even three months
of good treatment during the Summer
will be of benefit and that holds good with
Aspidistras, Rubbers, Dracsnas, Crotons
or other plants you use for decorative
purposes during the Winter months. Clean
the plants thoroughly, with the Kentias,
Arecas or Latanias trim the leaves, and
to pot bound plants, give a shift, mak-
ing use of a heavy loam well mixed with
decomposed cow manure. See to it that
each pot has proper drainage; place them
into a house with plenty of shade and
one you can maintain a moist atmosphere
in. For small palms, you couldn't pos-
sibly have a better place than a deep
frame and, if it consists of a mild hot-
bed to afford bottom heat, so much the
better. The plants like it; plunge the
pots up to their rims into soil, place the
sashes on the frames maintain a close
atmosphere, but don't overlook shading
the glass.

Decorative Foliage Plants for Winter

The higher priced flowering pot , plants
are, during the Winter months, the more
profitable. It is for every florist to carry
a good stock of smaller sized palms, ferns
arid other decoratice foliage plants. You
will not sell less flowering stock on that
account, but you will do more business
and please more of your patrons. To
grow on Dracffiuas, ferns, Ficus, Crotons,
Pandanus or palms, only pays when you

are properly equipped and specialize in
fiuch plants, but you can buy at this time
of the year, stock ready to be shifted
either now or in a short time and nicely
carry the plants along. They do well in
almost any house; they will grow in value
considerably by November and having
them on hand will afford a cliance to dis-
pose of a number between now and that
time. Pay more attention to" this stock;
all it needs now or at least most of it,
is a shaded house and plenty of water.
Anyone, almost, can handle such plants
during the Summer months and there
is always call for good decorative foliage
plants, and more so next Winter than
ever before. If you stock up now, it
will prove a good investment and the
plants will help to make your establish- ,
ment more attractive to the visitors com-
ing to see the houses.

Side Lines

These are days when you can't afliord
to let anything pass by on which you can
realize a margin of profit. You can't
confine yourself or draw the line at any- '
thing if you are a retail grower and your '■
patrons are ready to purchase certain
items coming within your business. For
example, there isn't any good reason for
not being able to supply them with all or
a part of the Fall bulbs they may need.
As in other instances, the big seed house
will do just as much business and
you will do more and make more
money. Every out of town ' florist
should retail bulbs during Fall. To ac-
commodate his patrons he should carry
an assortment of good varieties and push
this time what Darwins and other stock
will cost you. Why not send out an an-
will cost you. Why not sent out an an-
nouncement with your July statements
that you will carry a full supply of bulbs
for in and outdoor planting? Don't make
bargain prices, but ask as much as the
reliable seed house of the large city. You
can't afford to undersell them, nor is
there any reason to make any one believe
you can. Think it over, it will pay you
to get into this side line.

New York Iris Garden

The Iris Garden at Bronx Park, N. Y.,
is without doubt proving a success. Be-
ing for the most part planted late, the
600 or so varieties were not sufficiently
established to permit a full display this
season.

John C. Wister, president of the Ameri-
can Iris Society, on a recent visit, ex-
pressed much satisfaction with the way
the plants had come along.

The Iris garden is located on a slightly
rising piece of ground and the beds are
irregularly placed.

The work is not yet fully conipleted,
the staff of the K. Y. Botanical Garden
having to engage upon it as time will per-
mit.

Additional plantings are being made,
and it is anticipated that the Iris garden,
when completed, will be one of the great-
est attractions in the park.

The color is delicate cream, deepening
gradually to deep flesh in the center, and
the plant is said to be remarkable for its
vigor, fine foliage, and freedom from mil-
dew.

Mr. Rosenbluth, who is an enthusiastic
amateur rosarian, growing immense quan-
tities of Roses outdoors and under glass,
is of the opinion that Great Heart will
prove a valuable addition to the Rose
garden.

A Rose of Promise

From Wallingford, Pa., comes the re-
port of a promising new Rose, which has
been named Great Heart in memory of
Theodore Roosevelt, the name, being sug-
gested by Kipling's ode to that famous
American statesman. The new Rose
originated as a sport from Mrs. Walter
Easlea, a charming pink garden Rose in-
troduced in England a few years ago, by
Walter Easlea, who, prior to going into
business on his own account, was long con-
nected with Wm. Paul & Son, at whose
nurseries many famous Roses, including
Juliet, Ophelia and Paul's Scarlet Climber
have originated.

Great Heart appeared in the grounds
of Edwin M. Rosenbluth in 1918, on a
plant originally imported from Ireland.

"Tourist, Spare the Flowers !"

Withhold the devastating torch, that
fires the forest bowers, and sears with
blighting, black'nipg scorch the tender,
op'ning flowers. Guard well the fragrant
blossoms rare, of ev'ry rainbow hue, the
ferny fronds and grasses fair that bend
with^ morning's dew. Disturb not Spring-
time's songsters sweet, or Voodbird's cozy
nest; the wee wren's sylvan, safe retreat
let nothing cruel molest. Preserve God's
glorious gardens green, unharmed by
vandal hand; mar not a peaceful rural
scene in all the sunny land.

0, ye, who gayly wend your way
through forest, field and glen; who spend
the blithesome Summer's day far from the
haunts of men, heart-cherish and in love
protect kind Nature's varied charms; save
them from thoughtless man's neglect and
everything that harms. Lest when we
come this way again, to view these places
fair, ye find green groves and bush and
fen all birdless, bleak and bare. That
little children, following you, may through
life's leisure hours share lavish ISTature's
treasures, too: Please tourist, Spare the
Flowers! — (Dr.) A. S. Alexander in The
Breeders' Gazette.

The Mummy Pea

With wonderful persistency, the story
of the Sweet Pea raised from seed taken
from the hand of an Egyptian mummy con-
tinues to go the rounds. Ever since we
were children, this supposed wonder has
periodically been brought to light and if
one had the time to search we would
doubtless find records of the Mummy Pea
and crummy Wheat dating back for cen-
turies. Pecently the wonderful Pea
turned up in Baltimore, now it has ap-
peared in Boston. Perhaps even more
remarkable than its supposed age, which
is challenged by all students of plant
life, is the persistency with which it is
described as a Sweet Pea.

Sweet Pea it certainly is not, and it is
not improbable that if the writers of
these stories took the trouble to send
flowers to a botanist, it might possibly
prove to be a form of Cicer or Egyptian
Pea, largely groTSTi in some parts of
Southern Europe.

However, if the identity of the wonder-
ful Pea were disclosed, there would be
no opportunity for further writeups,
humorous or otherwise. In the mean-
time the Egyptian guides are doubtless
laying in a new stock of seed for the
next tourist season.

will contain writings by prominent men of
the most important subjects in horticul-
ture, which will make it well worth keep-

Guide

{Amateur Gardeners
Handbool(j

In the hands of over
25,000 enthusiastic gar-
deners. Now in its fourth
edition, revised and added
to, it is, we are convinced,
a standard for many years
to come.

Read a sample or two of
the letters which come to
us telling how highly the
Guide is prized:

The book. Garden Guide,
published by you is excellent
and should be in the hands
of every gardener, whether
amateur or projessional. I
have found it a cyclopedia of
all kinds of useful knowledge.

My copy of Garden Guide
is always at hand for refer-
ence regarding the sowing of
seeds, proper fertilizers,
methods of insect co7itrol,
ti?>ie to prune, etc. It is the
Moses of the Garden.

The Garden Guide ordered
from you recently arrived
and I wish to say that I
think it one of the best books
for the amateur gardener I
have ever seen.

Of value to every florist
who grows fruits, vegetables
and flowers outdoors, who
does landscape work and
plants trees and shrubs, the
book would be a hundred-
fold more valuable to him
to introduce to his custom-
ers. Reason why ? Be-
cause it will make them bet-
ter, bigger and constantly
increasing buyers of his

The Sassafras

A trio of mammoth trees and "shoulder" formation
of branches seldom seen

The Small Nursery

As conducted by the Florist-Nurseryman
By NELSON COON

The title fdiiveys otii- reascms for having the photo-
graiilier tiilse these views for The Exchange readers.
The Uircjisl specimen of a particular plant always has
a special attraction for the writer, as presumably it
does for our readers, so we pass along these measure-
ments. Two trees are 14ft. 3in. and the third 14ft. Sin.

Note the ^'shoulder" on this large Sassafras

in circumference and are the largest around Phila-
delphia. Equally unusual as the girth of the trunks
is the peculiar "shoulder" formation of branches
where they leave the bowl, to show the better we
had the "close up" taken. This shoulder, although
only about 12in. in width by a horizontal measure-
ment, is more than twice as much by a vertical or
right angle measurement, making a cross section of
the limb a decided elongated oval. Whether this for-
mation comes only with age, or is confined to the
Sassafras, the writer is not 'aware, but it occurs
throughout the branching of the trees photographed.

While on the subject of Sassafras, why do we not
see this tree introduced more in our plantings as its
merits deserve? Perhaps it's like the prophet without
honor in his own country. Perhaps it's because we've
heard that the roots will "sucker," which is true only
where they are disturbed. Or perhaps it's because
nurserymen do not carry a stock of it Those who ap-
preciate and advocate the value of native planting
will vouch for its merits and include it in their
lists. It's with the top notchers in its autumnal leaf-
age of orange, yellow, red and green. Its berry of
dark blue, borne on a long scarlet stem, represents
a color combination decidedly attractive, but little
known even to those familiar with the tree. And
birds love them, too !_ Landscape men would undoubt-
edly use more Sassafras if nurserymen would grow
them. Propagation is easy from seed or by col-
lected suckers. Samuel Newman Baxter.

Part III — Plans and Preparations

The matter of making plans for the nursery and
of the florist business involves the question of which
to start first — ^business activities or nursery work?
The solution of this question is somewhat like the
one to "Which came first — the egg or the chicken?" for
it is purely a matter of preference. There are sev-
eral sides to this question, however, which come to
mind and which should be given consideration in de-
ciding what to do.

The one big advantage of having a nursery es-
tablished is that you can show customers the stock
actually growing on your place and thus create a
bigger incentive to buy. And it is a big advertise-
ment, too, in many other ways. But of course it takes
time to get nursery stock looking salable and the
time lost in this preparation might perhaps have
brought more results in selling. This leads us to the
big advantage of starting sales work first, which is
that for the first season or so you can simply order
the stock which you have sale for and thus make
direct profits, besides getting a good gauge on the
type of stock demanded by your neighborhood.

Actual experience in the matter, however, has shown
that a mixture of these two plans is the best one to
pursue. As follows : Plant a little assortment of
the more standard kinds of stock and go out and
sell on the strength of it ; for the larger orders you
can easily purchase the stock needed. An assortment
of 2.50 shrubs (10 each of 2.5 kinds will give a good
working basis of shrubs, while 50 well chosen trees
will be ample for the start of your nursery.) Of speci-
men evergreens you should make a careful purchase
of only good salable stock at the outset, meanwhile
buying smaller ones to grow on. To meet the demand
for perennials you should have about 50 different
sorts at least, and nothing less than 25 of a variety.
But this is only a suggestion and in our next article
we will discuss more fully just what to plant and
how to buy.

As our first essential in the nursery is the soil on
which to grow our trees it is important to consider
this next.

As pointed out in a preceding article, great care
should be taken to select proper land. The nursery

plot, as far as possible, should be level and naturally

artificially drained to a depth of

three feet. If there is such a

natural drainage it will follow

that there is a good, rich, deep

subsoil, which is a most im-
portant consideration in the

growing of deep rooted trees and

shrubs. The shallower parts of

the land might be used for per-
ennials, etc. Authorities differ

somewhat as to the exact texture

of the soil, but all agree that a

percentage of sand in nursery soils

is valuable in order to keep the

soil loose to prevent puddling and

cracking, and to make working

easy.

In selecting your nursery site

you will do well if you can get

land which has once been the bed

of a stream. But whatever land

you purchase be sure that you

know just what its condition is.

The larger nurseries have a prac-
tice of renting or leasing land for

their purposes, an idea which

bears a thought for the smaller

nurseryman. A twenty year

lease on laud, with an option to

buy, would be the desirable

thing and a good way through
which to secure nursery lands.

If you are in a fruit growing section you will un-
douljtedly want to have a stock of fruit trees. You
will find that the Spring is the best time to handle
them and to purchase stocks of them. Don't figure
too strongly on growing your own stock — rather leave
this sort of thing for the expert or, at least, till
you feel that you are in that class. I mention the
matter of fruits here in connection with soil, as you
must remember that in the growing of fruits there is
a recognized rotation of crops. A discussion of this
subject will be found in numerous books on fruit
growing. (Ask The Exchange for a list of these
books.)

Another factor to be looked into in planting your
nursery is the matter of Winter protection of the
more tender subjects. A good hedge of evergreen
trees makes the ideal protection from the cutting
north winds, but a group of buildings or greenhouses
have much the same effect. An orchard of fruits on
the windward side will also afford some protection.

It is generally agreed by many, however, that one
of the best places for tender subjects is a north slope
of a hill. This statement might seem odd until
explained, but the reason is the same that holds true
in the matter of evergreens planted on the south
or the north side of a house. The latter are most
likely to live. All this is so because in sunny ex-
posed places, the sun on a warm Winter day will often
heat a plant enough to cause an unperceptable growth
which the next good zero day will promptly kill.
This is a little and a simple matter, but it is one
which shoiUd be borne in mind both in planting the
nursery and in selling your plants to the customers.
Continual freezing followed by thawing, is the worst
enemy of flowering broad leaved evergreens.

More valuable, however, than these various devices
to protect the plants is the natural covering of snow
which protects all plants in direct ratio to its depth.

As was said in the second article, it is hard to
suggest the size of the nursery plot. This must be
determined largely by the plants which you grow, as
shrubs and evergreens take up much more room. It
is said that one acre of fruit trees will run from
five to eight thousand trees. There is no doubt but
that many beginners in the nursery business often
make the mistake of attempting to handle too large a
tract at the start.

If the land which you are to use for nursery pur-
poses has not been under a state of continuous cul-
tivation, it will be best to postpone any extensive
plantings until Spring, as the ground will be in need
of some preparation. It is just as true of nursery
stock as it is of indoor plants that they will not as

Drive to Collect Overdue Taxes

Another intensive drive for delinquent
taxes, similar to that conducted last year,
will be undertaken next month by the
Internal Revenue Bureau, Commissioner
David H. Blair announced recently.
Special attention will be paid to the col-
lection of the excise tax on sales by
manufacturers, the transportation tax,
the so-called luxury tax, and the taxes
on jewelry, toilet articles, etc. As was
done last year, "flying squadrons" will be
organized, which will visit every large city
in the country.

Through the failure of retailers to col-
lect in full the various taxes which they
are supposed to take care of, it is esti-
mated that the government is losing many
millions of dollars annually, the Commis-
sioner said. A careful survey will be
made of establishments selling such arti-
cles as are taxable upon retail sale, and
employers will be advised to instruct their
employees in the laws and regulations
governing the collection of such taxes.

Transportation companies doing an in-
terstate business will be compelled to
speed up their settlement of claims for
loss, damage and overcharge on the trans-
portation of express, freight and baggage,
if a bill just introduced in the Senate by
Senator Park Trammell of Florida, is en-
acted into law. The measure requires set-
tlements to be made within 60 days after
the filing of claims by shippers and pro-
vides a penalty in the form of 25 per cent
interest thereon and a lawyer's fee
amounting to $15 on all claims allowed
by the courts in amounts under $100 and
15 per cent on amounts greater than that.
These penalties, however, are to accrue only
when the complainant secures an award
in an amount greater than the offer made
by the carrier to settle the case.
Be-ware Fake Tax Lawyers

A thorough investigation is being made
by agents of the Internal Revenue Bureau
into the activities of attorneys and ac-
countants throughout the country who
represent themselves as able to secure
special consideration for their clients at
the hands of the Government.

Complaints have beeen received from a
number of cities that such persons are
advertising their ability to secure reduc-
tions from the amount of income or other
taxes due, through their connection with
the bureau, and are offering to take such
cases on a 50-50 basis. Most of them
represent that, having formerly been em-
ployed in the bureau, they have an "in-
side track" in having the accounts of their
clients audited and passed. Few of them,
however, declare bureau officials, were
ever employed by the Treasury Depart-
ment. Furthermore, taxpayers who em-
ploy such advisors and who, as a result
of their efforts, defraud the Government
out of any part of the tax due, will also
be subject to criminal action.

Former officials and employees of the
revenue bureau who go into business as
tax lawyers and accountants and assist
taxpayers in the making of accurate re-
ports are performing a proper work and
their efforts are of great assistance to
the bureau, and these men are not under
the slightest suspicion. Lawyers and ac-
countants who claim that they can assist
taxpayers to avoid payment of the full tax
due are, however, being sought and, if
sufficient evidence against any of them is
secured, criminal prosecution will follow.
Pullman Co. Doubts Value of
Higher Rates

Very few reductions have occurred in
the cost of repairs and operations of
Pullman cars within the past year, ac-
cording to L. S. Taylor, vice -president of
the Pullman Co., testifying June 16 in
the hearing before the Interstate Com-
merce Commission on the application of
the Commercial Travelers of America for
repeal of the fare increases authorized
May 1, 1920.

The commercial travelers attacked the
fares as unjust and unreasonable. The
I. C. C. order of May 1, 1920, author-
ized an inci-ease of 20 per cent in Pull-
man fares and another order last August
provided for a surcharge upon such fares,
the money received therefrom not to go to
the Pullman Company, but to the rail-
roads.

Receipts of the company are steadily
decreasing, Mr. Taylor said, 782,902, or
24.26 per cent fewer paying passengers

being carried last April than in April,
1920. After the 20 per cent increase in
fares was granted, the company's revenues
showed an increase of approximately the
same amount up to last August, when the
surcharge (which went to the railroads,
not the company) was imposed. Beginning
with September, however, there was a
steady decline in both the number of pas-
sengers carried and in gross revenue, until
in February, 1921, the gain in revenue de-
rived from the May increase was entirely
wiped out, and in April an additional
loss of 7.53 per cent was suffered, mak-
ing a total loss for that month of 27.53
per cent.

"We do not claim that this reduction in
our revenues is due entirely to the sur-
charge," declared the witness, "as un-
doubtedly a considerable portion of it is
due to a general business depression. But
we do think the surcharge was a serious
blow to the Pullman Company's reve-
nues and we strongly question whether
the railroads have gained anything from
it." E. A. D.

National Publicity Campaign

The Publicity Committee is getting its
plans in shape for the forthcoming pub-
licity drive in the magazines, its only
anxiety now being as to the wherewithal
for financing its eSort. As has been said
before, the money required must actually
be in hand; hence its concern. A good
many guarantys are still to be discharged,
and once more we urge all those who have
pledged themselves to send cheques cover-
ing their pledges without further delay.
There has been plenty of evidence lately
to show that the slogan is worth all we
can expend on it. In cartoons, editorial
headlines, and in other ways it has been
featured. "They said it with Flowers" is
now a common headline used to cover public
functions of various kinds, and the dear
public sits up and takes notice of it. The
head of our nation was recently cartooned
in a prominent New York daily as "Say-
ing it with Flowers."

The Campaign Fund has been augmented
by the following subscriptions since our

be made will be governed entirely by the
amount of money available for it, and
the greater it can be made, the greater the
resulting benefit.

The Market

June 20. — Business conditions re-
main about the same as reported last
v^eek; a large supply of stock with a
limited demand. An occasional com-
mencement or wedding causes a little
flurry, but not enough to clean up the
market.

The weather has been very warm, which
has caused some of the stock to arrive in
a wilted condition practically making it
unsalable.

White Roses, Valley and orchids are
the items most in demand and there is
never a surplus of either; Gladioli also
clean up daily, but outside of these, it
takes pushing and price concessions to
make stock move.

The supply of R-oses is large but some
of the stock is poor. The varieties in-
clude Premier, Columbia, American Le-
gion, Richmond, Milady, Butterfly, Ophelia,
Sunburst, Hilda and White Killarney.

Carnations move slowly and at bar-
gain prices; most of them are showing the
effects of the warm weather. It will not
be long until they are done, although
Bome of the growers have arranged for
crops to last until Asters begin to arrive.

Easter Lilies are in short supply, which
is just as well, as it is hard to realize
enough from them to allow the grower to
break even.

Delphinium has been a big factor in
the local market this season, but it has
been overdone, consequently there has been
too much and prices are low. Outdoor
stock is in heavy supply and includes
Sweet Williams, Coreoposis, Cornflowers,
Gaillardia, Larkspur and Delphinium.
What few Sweet Peas are arriving are of
very good quality and sell readily.

Asparagus plumosus has been in over-
supply and most of the southern ship-
ments have arrived in very poor condi-
tion.

Although some of the retailers are
complaining about business, the wholesale
houses claim that June will show a
healthy increase over last season. Prices
are much lower than last year, but the
quantity of stock handled is much larger.

The wholesale houses are now working
on Summer hours from 7 a.m. till 5 p.m.
Daylight Saving time, or 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Eastern Standard time.

grower to take up in this section, and the
result will be watched with considerable
curiosity.

American Peony Society Bulletin

No 14 is a symposium number and is
practically devoted to a lengthy voting
list, which shows at a glance the posi-
tion each variety holds in the favor of
some SO Peony growers. Some of the
voters are keen enough to split their votes
into fractions; it is certainly bringing
things to a fine point to work as close
as 7.25. The varying comments by some
of the voters on certain varieties is in-
teresting. Interesting, too, is the fact
that 21 varieties out of the 94 receiving
over 20 votes are of American origin,
while 55 out of the 114 receiving less than
20 votes hail from the same source.
Twenty years ago few American raised
Peonies existed.

Rooting Lilac Cuttings

What is the best method of rooting Lilac
cuttings? Have only frames to work
with ? Can cuttings of Sciadopitys
be rooted from cuttings?— J. H. T., N. Y.
Semi-mature cuttings about 4in. to 5iii.
long can be inserted in fi-ames during the
early Summer. You may also layer larger
grow^ths near the ground, and if the
plants are on their own roots, also by
lifting the suckers. In the Fall, ripe
cuttings can either be inserted in the
frames or carried over in the cellar for
insertion in the Spring. As you want to'
work up a big stock, cut back some of
your old plants hard after using all serv-
icable work. These old roots will serve
as stools. Encourage them to make all
the wood possible by mulching with rich
soil. Use every bit of wood they make.
Through the constant cutting, these old
stools will supply you with abundance of
wood, which you can layer or root as cut-
tings as desired. Soft wood can also be
rooted in sand if a little bottom heat is
available in the early Spring. Sciadopitys
can be rooted from half ripe cuttings in
Summer and also by layering. Seedlings,
however, make the best shaped trees. All
cuttings must have partial shade and
plenty of moisture.

Heating Problems

I am enclosing a plan of a present
greenhouse and addition I am consider-
ing. Will you kindly advise through The
Exchange the size and layout of piping
to heat the same to about SOdegs. in zero ■
weather. It is my intention to place
boiler in residence cellar, necessitating
a run of at least 26ft. to enter green-
house.—W. T. F., N. J.

The sketch referred to shows a three-
quarter span greenhouse, 62ft.xlSft., ""'^ich
T figure has equivalent to 1918 sq. ft. of
exposed glass surface, and if of ordinary
sound construction would require 8S0
lineal feet of 2in. pipe or its equivalent
to maintain a temperature of 50degs. at
night when, the mercury outside is at
zero.

If the cellar is deep enough so that the
flow and return main can pass under the
floor of the kitchen, I would connect the
boiler with a Sin. flow and return' and
carry these mains to end of house nearest
to boiler, and there connect to sewer
lines of 2in. pipe under each side
bench. If the cellar is not deep enough
for this arrangement it will then be neces-
sary to carry the 3in. flow mam over-
head to far end of house and there con-
nect to the coils. J. McArthue.

Will vou please say through the col-
umns of The Exchange how many horse-
power boiler is required to heat 70,000ft.
of glass to a temperature of 55degs. m
zero weather — A. J. B., N. J.

For heating a range of greenhouses hav-
ing equivalent to 70.000 sq. ft. of exposed
glass surface, I would advise using two
steam boilers.

For a temperature of from 55 to 60 degs.
at night when the mercury outside is at
zero about 23,300 lineal ft. of l^i pipe or its
equivalent would be required, and I would
advise using two boilers each rated at
from 90 to 100 horse power.

florists. The committee is as follows: S.
A. McFadden, chairman, G. M. Geraghty,
H. G. Dillemuth, Mrs. Waters and Mrs.
Moore.

The club will donate $100 to the Win-
ter Fair to be held in Toronto this Fall.

The election of officers will be held at
the September meeting on Sept. 12. There
will be no meetings held in July and
August.

Canada at X,arge

The Hamilton Gardeners and Flo-
rists Association will hold a picnic in
July.

Tlie Hamilton Horticultural Society
held a Rose and Peony show on June 1'7.
W. E. Groves, president of the Canadian
Florists and Gardeners Association, Ham-
ilton, and H. J. Moore, Toronto, were the
judges.

The Hamilton parks have been planted
this year with stock grown in Hamilton
greenhouses. Mr. Dickerson is the grower
and Harry Marshall the park superin-
tendent.

Peterborough is planning for a big con-
vention of the Canadian Florists and
Gardeners Association on Aug. 9, 10 and
11. All members of the executive have
been working hard during the year, and
niany important matters will come up for
discussion and action.

Mr. Dunlop of Richmond Hill is suffer-
ing from a sprained shoulder. Regarding
business, he stated to The Exchange
that it had been very good. A big busi-
ness was done in Rose bushes this year.
Work at the greenhouse is a month in ad-
vance of last year, due to the early
Spring.

Memorial Trees at Minneapolis

In lOlS the Board ot Park Conuuissiou-
ers of Minneapolis decided to improve the
Ulenwood-Camden Parkway with a plant-
ing of memorial trees among other things.
Later, the Hon. C. M. Loring presented
the board with a trust fund ot $30,000 for
the perpetual care of memorial trees,
recomraendiug that the Memorial Drive
include Cedar Lake Boulevard and Glen-
wood Parkway.

Acting on the recoimuendation, work
was begun in 1919 and continued in 1920;
the remaining work will be completed this
year.

The Memorial Drive, which is entirely
planted with Elms, was officially opened
on June 11, fully 30,000 people being
present.

A huge procession, headed by a military
baud and including all the various or-
ganizations ot the city, preceded the ofii-
eial dedication, Judge M. Torrance de-
livering the address.

The procession was started with a sa-
lute from a battery of artillery. One tree
for every man and woman who lost their
lives in the great war was chosen as a
memoriam, 550 citizens of Hennepin
County having answered the call.

Each of the 550 trees was garlanded
with flowers and numbered. In due
course each will bear a tablet in honor ot
the gallant soldier it stands for.

During the exercises, airplanes dropped
flowers along the driveway which extends
over eight miles.

M. de Fontnouvelle, French consul at
Chicago, and Captain S. Bayley of the
British Navj-, represented their respective
countries, each making a speech redolent
with feeling for the gallant dead.

The Glenwood Park Nursery will keep
a number of replacement trees for use on
the Memorial Driveway when needed.

In connection with the ceremonies the
various city and other committees pub-
lished a program and complete list of the
550 gold star heroes in whose memory
the driveway is planted.

Indiana Horticultural Society

The June Bulletin of this society con-
tains an interesting paper on Bud Selec-
tion, by Prof. E. B. Babcock of California
University.

Prof. Babcock is disposed to critise
nurserymen who are advertising pedigreed
trees at enhanced prices.

Bud selection is largely dependent upon
the frequency with which bud mutations
appear.

True pedigree can only be established
by a succession of seedlings; bud selection
from recognizedly good trees is not wholly
reliable and, for this reason, the claims
made by some propagators are unwar-
ranted.

Columbus, 0.

Outdoor flowers have been plentiful this
past we'ek. Delphiniums are exception-
ally good and the demand has about
cleaned up the supply. Outdoor Sweet
Peas, are now on the market. The supply
of these is not great, but the quality is
fine.

Graduations in the public schools, hos-
pitals and universities have made this a
week for corsages. Along with these com-
mencements have been many social func-
tions, concerts and recitals that call for
corsages, so that every florist in town has
been unusually busy with this kind of
\vork.

The Columbus Flower Growers and
Dealers Association met Tuesday evening,
June li, at the Deshler Hotel. Accord-
ing to the reports from the members of
this association the meetings are more
interesting every time.

The first annual meeting of the Ohio
District of the National Flower Growers
Association was held in Columbus on the
afternoon and evening of June 21 at the
Doshler Hotel. See page 1457.

Two of our dowmtown florists are mov-
ing into larger stores. Wilson's Seed
Store, incorporated under the name of
Wilson's Seed & Floral Co.. has sold his
High St. lease to the Mission Tea Room and
bought a 99 year lease at 23 E. Town st.
This is a corner building and will have
good show windows. Mr. Wilson expects
to be in his new location by July 1,

Mr. McKellar is moving to the new
James Building on West Broad st. This is
a desirable location and will give him

much more room than he now has. Mr.
-McKellar expects to make the change in
August.

At the carnival celebrating the open-
ing of Fourth St., the silver loving cup
was awarded to the float of the Lancaster

St. Paul, Minn.

The past week has been exceptionally
warm. The heat and rains came just at
the height of the Peony season, cutting
short the crop.

Three flower shows were held the mid-
dle of the month. A Peony show waa
held at the St. Paul Hotel, which in spite
of its location and considerable publicity,
was very poorly attended although an
excellent showing of Peonies was made
by some of the professional growers. The
principal exhibitors of this show were D.
W. C. Ruff of Bald Eagle, showing over
200 varieties; A. J. Wilkus of the River-
view Gardens, West St. Paul, with some
60 varieties, and the Franklin nursery of
Minneapolis, with some 60 varieties. A. C.
Arny of St. Paul and Mrs. H. B. Tillotson
of Excelsior made some small but good
exhibits. W. A. Peterson of Chicago
judged the exhibits.

The First National Bank held an ama-
teur show, June 16 and 17. This was seen
by a great many people because of a large
number of St. Paul residents who do busi-
ness with this bank. Friday and Satur-
day, the Horticultural Society held their
show and picnic at University Farm, St.
Paul. About 1200 vases of flowers were
shown, including Roses, Peonies and gar-
den flowers. D. W. C. Ruff of Bald Eagle
and August Wilkus of West St. Paul were
the largest exhibitors of Peonies. Mrs.
H. B. Tillotson, A. C. Arny and H. F.
Baker made fine exhibits also. Probably
one of the finest showing of outdoor Roses
ever made at a Summer meeting was
shown at this meeting. Some 300 vases
in 50 or 60 varieties were in evidence.
The Minneapolis Park Board made a fine
showing of Peonies and Rosa rugosa, but
not in competition.. Holm & Olson of
St. Paul made a small but effective ex-
hibit of Phlox and Peonies in baskets;
this also was not in competition. At the
noon hour, a basket lunch was enjoyed by
some 200 visitors, and during the after-
noon short talks were given by many of
the exhibitors. While this meeting was
not as largely attended as has often been
the case, due to the extremely hot wea-
ther, an enjoyable day was had by those
in attendance.

The Twin City florists will visit the
Minneapolis Rose Gardens June 24.

A picnic is scheduled by the State Flo-
rists Club for about July 16. Judging
from last year's experience, it will be a
dandy.

Two large funerals and several wed-
dings kept the St. Paul florists busy the
first two weeks of June.

Hans Rosacker and wife ot Stinson
blvd., Minneapolis, are visiting relatives
and friends in Europe this month.

Chas. Nordeen of Lake City judged Roses
at the Summer meeting of the Horticul-
tural Society.

L. L. May & Co., Inc., who are nur-
serymen, seedsmen and florists, possess
extensive nurseries and do a large business
in all three ot these lines. Having reor-
ganized their business on account of the
death of the late L. L. May, Sr., they are
now in splendid condition to carry on ex-
tended operations.

J. W. Underwood and wife of the Jewel
Nursery recently returned to Lake City
from California, where they have made
their home tor several years. They re-
cently celebrated their 50th wedding an-
niversary. c_ jt_

Trade Notes

June 16. — Business for the past two
weeks has been typically June like. Wed-
dings, graduations and a goodly amount of
funeral work has made the month a fairly
busy one for the trade so far. Flowers
have been plentiful and with the con-
tinuation of cool weather, the stock will
come in good shape for some time yet.
The Carnation growers are replanting as
fast as they can push the job; the cool
weather is helping them greatly. Kosea

are also being dried off so that the over-
supply has considerably dwindled. The
outdoor Sweet Peas are overdone and as
usual, the oversupply is finding its way
to the public market at reduced prices.
The indoor Peas still have it over the
outdoor iJroduct in both color and finish
and when something fine is wanted, we all
turn to the indoor stock. Considerable
annual Gypsophila is being used and is of
great help for the many graduation bou-
quets now in demand. Many a bouquet
of home grown flowers is being used for
the graduates. This holds good also for
many dinner parties and so long as the
crop of garden stock is so plentiful and of
such good quality, this condition will
exist. Business is always best when flow-
ers are scarcest.

There are no potted plants offered with
the exception of fillers, such as Martha
Washington, Fuschias, etc, for those that
will take nothing but a potted plant.
Ferns are now equal to the demand and
the offerings are of excellent quality.

The offerings of Gladiolus are fine but
are not moving as well as they might. The
best among these is Halley, Prince of
Wales and Mrs. Pendleton. The last
named among these is especially fine.

Neivs Gleanings

To Henry Kahn belongs the honor
of having grown the finest indoor Spencer
Sweet Peas this Spring. Although Henry
has only a small place, he produces all
quality stock. At present his Blue Lace
Flower is in bloom.

0. E. Panzer is in-stalling a new boiler
in place of ah old marine boiler he has
been using since he started his present
range. He purchased his boiler from
Uncle Sam ; it is a Kewanee, used but
once or twice when the war was over and
not used since.

The Flower Show that was put on in
the Auditorium by all the local florists
and growers turned out satisfactorily to
every one and the present board of the
Rose Festival has already expressed its
desire that the growers start in now and
plan a bigger and better show for 1922.
It has also brought the Rose Society and
Oregon Florist Club to a better under-
standing and has been shown where one
can help the other.

The local club had the pleasure of hav-
ing the plant enthusiast and botanist,
P. D. Barnhart of Los Angeles, Cal., with
them at their last monthly meeting. Mr.
Barnhart had much of interest to tell
the members, and he was very much en-
thused by the way our hills were all green.
He spent many days looking for speci-
mens and varieties to try out in his home
in the sunny South. He stated that he
drove up iln his Ford and that the entire
expense of the trip including oil, gas,
meals and hotel bills was $50. This sure
has the railroad beat especially as he says
he can stop and pick what he wants and
where he wants. He says it is quite a
temptation to pull the train cord and
have the train stop at some beautiful
patch of wild flowers.

When we stop to consider that Mr.
Barnhart is 72 years old, the above will
show how active he is. Every botanist
you meet always looks ten or flfteen years
younger than he is; they are so engrossed
with their work that they do not have
time to grow old.

The new offi.cers for the coming year
who were elected at the last meeting of
the Oregon Florists Club, are: President
Guy Pilkington; vice-president, H. Nik-
las; treasurer, Henry Birchler; secretary,
F. A. VanKirk; trustees, J. G. Backer,
R. E. Gehr and John Holden.

On account of the high water and the
possible mosquito army that lurks around
about the Fourth of July on all these
damp lands, it was decided to hold the
picnic on the 10th of July at Fred Wiede-
man's place in Wilsonville instead of
down the river. The committee is get-
ting bilsy and many stunts and other
amusements will be provided. The trans-
portation committee will report soon and
members will be notified as to the way
to get there and how.

The recent Rose Festival was quite a
success in face of the little money that
was available. The floral parade was es-
pecially fine and probably larger than in
former years as this was the only parade
during the Festival. For once it did not
rain. Clarkes took the grand prize and
several firsts and seconds. Smiths came
in for several firsts and seconds. All
florists were awarded ijrizes. H. N.

Natural Poppies — For or Against?

Now that Mother's Day and Memorial Day are past
and the florist has an occasional spare moment in
which to think — both forward and backward — it isn't
a bad plan to bring our ideas about some things up
to date. Maybe we will find that some of them need
reconstructing.

Take the question of Poppies. A correspondent
writes, for instance, "That item by Alex. MacLellan
on page 1,360 reminds me that when I first tried to
get the trade interested in pushing the sale of natural
Poppies for Memorial Day, I was told, first, that they
could not be grown for that time, and next, that they
wouldn't last anyway eren if grown.

"I wonder if it wouldn't be advantageous for you
to try and get the drift of opinion on this particular
flower and see if, among us all, we couldn't arrange
it, so that next year people will be induced to wear
real Poppies, or at least use them for decoration,
instead of the artiflcial blooms made in France and,
in some cases, in Germany — as was the case this
year."

Certainly there has been a change of front, at least
b,y some, in this Poppy matter. Of course any new
idea demands a certain amount of boosting before
its inertia and the effects of excess conservatism are
overcome. Probably that was what handicapped the
Poppy in the start. However, it was shown without
doubt that the flowers, in some form, could be gotten
ready in time. The question is, are we going to make
the most of his knowledge next year?

Transportation to Weislun^on

The Trunk Line Association letter to Secretary
John Young referred to in our last issue set forth
the identification certificate plan which will be In
operation in connection with the concession of fare
and a half for round trip ticket for the S. A. F. and
O. H. Convention, Washington, Aug. 16, 17 and 18.
We are now informed that the Southeastern Passenger
territory does not furnish an exception in the plan, so
that identification certificates covering that territory
are also to be secured from Secretary Young. Identi-
fication certificates are now in the hands of Mr.
Young, and all who intend to travel to Washington on
the aforementioned basis should write for theirs. Are
you going?

Hotel Reservations at Conventions

The memory of the trouble, worry and loss of time
attendant on securing rooms at some of our recent
conventions, particularly the one at Detroit, still
rankles in the miuds of many of those who are going
to Washington next August, and these are naturally
anxious to avoid a repetition of that most disagreeable
experience.

In writing the Washington hotels would It not be
well to state the expected hour of arrival thereat In-
sisting on a written guarantee that the room or
rooms would be ready at the hour of arrival ? Ascertain
the cost o'f the room and, when asking for a reservation,
enclose cheque suflScient to cover the guarantee called
for : then, when your guarantee is received, be sure to
take it to Washington with you. The hotels to some ex-
tent have a fair excuse in this matter of actually see-
ing to it that a reservation is kept unless cash is for-
warded to hold the reservation because, on the other
hand, many who write for accommorations fail to
show up on the day the reservation has been asked
for and perhaps not at all.

Making the Most of Science

In an address on "Common Insect Pests and Their
Control" before the last meeting of the New York
Florists Club, Dr. W. E. Britton, State Entomologist
of Connecticut, emphasized the difficulty often en-
countered by investigators and students of such prob-
lems on account of a scarcity of specimens of certain
unfamiliar insects or examples of their destructive
work. Frequently, said Dr. Britton, serious injury
caused by some insect or disease would not be re-
ported until the season of activity of that organism
was practically over, when, of course, it is impos-
sible to collect material for investigational purposes
or to study the progress of the trouble in the field
or greenhouse. By another season that particular
grower may not be troubled by the same pest, whereas
another establishment in an adjoining township or
county may suffer severe losses from it and yet in his
attempts to combat it receive no benefit from the
earlier experience.

It is not always easy to realize that the study of
even such a minute insect as a stem borer or an
aphis, to be of practical value as the foundation of
control recommendations, may have to continue for
weeks or months, during which the investigator may
have to watch the life history of hundreds of indi-
viduals and, perhaps, several generations. After that
comes the perfecting of some form of spray material
or other treatment — one that will be effective, not
too expensive or inconvenient, and that will in no
adverse way affect the crop or crops upon which the
pest preys. Finally there is the question of possible
natural enemies which it may be possible to foster,
or preventive cultural details which the grower may
find it advisable to include in his seasonal progragi.
In other words, the investigation of any one pest on
any one crop is a big task, crowded with minute but
exceedingly important details; with each additional
infested or "host" crop, the difficulties multiply tre-
mendously.

Now the State scientists and the experts at agricul-
tural colleges and experiment stations are public
servants and, as such, are ever ready to devote them-
selves— so far as their funds, equipment and physical
limitations permit — to the problems confronting farm-
ers, growers, florists and nurserymen in keeping their
products healthy, vigorous and free from insect ene-
mies. But they cannot do much unaided ; they must
have the cooperation of whom they are working for.

Much of their time, for instance, they have to spend
in their offices and laboratories, working with mi-
croscope and chemicals at the purely scientific phases
of their problems. Thus they cannot he aware of
new infestations or disea.se outbreaks unless their
attention is called to such developments by the people
out in the field. Nor can they carry on all their
investigations on the farms or in the greenhouses
where insects or diseases are discovered ; the.v must
have material supplied to their workshops where all
their tools and equipment are. Sometimes, indeed.

out having received either definite approval or flnal
condemnafion. Clearly, then, there has not been suffi-
cient discussion of it.

It happens that we heard recently a criticism of
the proposition that set us thinking. Perhaps our
conclusions are wrong ; perhaps they are justifled.
In either case it is a matter for the trade itself as
judge and jury to decide.

The argument presented was, in brief, that if a
birthday flower that is moderately abundant and of
medium value is selected for each month, it will lead
people to place relatively low priced orders for that
flower instead of the, at present, customary orders
for a bunch of Roses, orchids or Sweet Peas from
which the florist can anticipate a greater proflt. In
other words, the cry is, "Why make it easy for people
to buy flowers at moderate cost if they can be In-
duced to pay large prices for rarer blooms?"

Our thought Is this: The great need of the florist
trade, the result for which we have all been working
and upon which the National Publicity Campaign was
based, is a more general desire for flowers, more
buying by more people. Now if the birthday flower
idea helps toward that end it is a good idea, and
we believe it will help. Moreover, the fact that a
somewhat more common flower is the blossom for
June or January will make no difference to the per-
son who is able to buy Roses, and other rare
greenhouse products in proportion. On the contrary,
he or she will be all the more likely to buy the more ;
expensive thing as being "different."

Again, will not the suggestion that the florists are
thus helping to bring flowers within reach of all the
people tend to counteract somewhat the criticisms di-
rected at the different Red Letter days and their so-
called "profiteering"? We must not lose sight of the
fact that while our profits are mighty important
things, they depend wholly upon the success with
which we serve the public.

If the birthday flower proposition is built around
the idea of greater service — as we believe It is, and is
pushed, it is bound to increase the returns to the
country's florists as a whole rather than to diminish
them.

On Behalf of Birthday Flowers

The idea of a semi-official list of flowers for the
different months to be submitted to the public as an
aid in their purchase of birthday bouquets, has been
before the florists of the country for some time with-

The Washington Convention

The Ladies' Society of American Florists has pre-
pared a folder which will surely interest the ladies -
who are thinking of attending the convention, and
should convince not a few others that it would be a
splendid idea to plan to make the trip. There is no •
more interesting city in the United States to visit
than Washington, and with a large gathering of kin-
dred souls In attendance at the convention, it should
prove doubly interesting. This folder will be mailed
to our whole membership very shortly, with other
printed matter concerning the gathering.

The Trade Exhibition

The space available in the trade exhibition is going
fast, and a banner show is already assured. The fol-
lowing names of exhibitors are in addition to those '
already reported :

Lord & Burnham Co., Irvingrton-on-Hudson, N. T.

Baum's Home of Flowers, Inc., Knoxville, Tenn.

The Lima Sheet Metal Products Co., Lima, Ohio,

Hitchings & Co., Elizabeth, N. J.

S. H. Bussin, New York City.

National Flower Show

The plan of the Trade Seciton of the big show to
be held in Cleveland next March is completed, and
plates ready for the printer, so that it is now only
a matter of days before prints will be ready for mail-

Although the Guarantee Fund covering the show's
finances is practically closed, a subscription from
W. D. Howard, Milford, Mass., is this week reported,
making the fund total $20,657.

Revised Packing Material Regulations, Qu. 37

The F. II. B. has issued as circular II. B.— 132 a
revised statement as to the materials which, accord-
ing to Qn. .'IT. may be used in importing plants, nur-
sery stock, bulbs, etc. Horticulturists interested in
nni'king importations should see that they are pro-
vided with coiiies of this document.

As far as earth or sand is concerned, four classes
are permitted, but only in connection with the four
kinds of bulbs admitted under Sec. 1 of Regulation 3,
and such biUbs and conns as may be admitted under
special permit as per regulation 14. These are (1)
sand or soil that has been sterilized as directed by
the Board under the inspection of the authority at the
p(Ut of origin; t2) sterile subsoil from Japan; (3)
dune sand from Holland; and (4) coral sand from
Bermuda.

In the ease of nursery stock and plants, sphagniim,
fiber, chaff straw and other such materials not pre-
viously used and free from soil, may be used. But
here, as in every case, the foreign authorities must
supply certificates as to the uncontaminated condi-
tion of the material and the safety of using it. Other
materials may be used if submitted to the Board for
examination and then approved and certified by it.

glass; if Ihe latter, it is .ally In very recent years
that it lia- been taken up for that purpose.

HeUadciniia has lieeii in cuniinerce more years thau
we can remember; many years elapsed before it took
to seeding. Prior to some ten or more years ago It
had to be propagated vegetatlvely.

For tlorists' use, we think only the loose spiked
HelladoiMia lyjie is of service; the giant named forms,
wonderlnl lluiugh they are are not so free and per-
haps less amenable to forcing.

The grower who aims at quality, should carefully
select the liiiest seedliugs and work up stock of such
plants from cuttings. Continuous raisiug of new
stock from seed will not ensure an even grade. The
same applies to other perennials that have been im-
proving by hybridization, a named form represents a
selection from thousands, therefore any one who
wants the best, must have such forms and propagate.
Seedlings from such varieties are uever dependable.

A Plea for Novelties

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

Flower growers may profit largely by carefully dis-
criminating in favor of the new and improved varie-
ties instead of continuing to grow old and inferior
sorts. A large, profitable business may be done by
growers with small capital, In hardy perennials and,
after their regular season is over, by having in re-
serve plants for forcing for the Winter market. There
are novelties of great beauty suitable for the flower
shops; the same also applies to annuals.

Those .who took up from its first introduction, the
Delphinium, "Belladonna," have always had a quick
and profitable market for them ; the many more recent
varieties will also be good sellers. If growers get in
early on new introductions buying parent plants for
the purpose of getting up stock, they will be years
ahead of the time before they would be able to buy
a supply of the seed. Take for instance that beauti-
ful perennial Phlox, Rhinelander, no other can sur-
pass its color and habit, and R. P. Struthers is an-
other good one to go with it.

In the Sweet William group, the Newport Pink va-
riety and several other newer ones of great merit
should be raised to the exclusion of the old kinds.
These new forms are most attractive and every buyer
of cut flowers will repeat his orders.

In Zinnias, Asters, Dahlias, Peonies, etc., it will
pay growers to confine their productions to the very
choicest and best.

Watch for the novelties put out by the various nur-
series as described in their catalogs each season, and
start early to get up the necessary stock for require-
ments. Of course, the Rose growers have been doing
this for years with great success. Apply now the
same practice to the wide field of neglected plants and
flowers that should be grown for the florist's trade.

— Our correspondent is emphasizing what we have
been preaching for years ; we venture to believe that
we have drawn attention to more plant and seed
novelties suitable for florist growers than any other
paper circulating in the interests of the trade.

Novelty is the spice of life, and we are convinced
that the extreme interest in gardening among the
British people is largely due to the fact that novelties
from the world over, have constantly been brought
before the public notice. Novelty testing, both for the
amateur and the commercial grower, affords a per-
petual interest, and the grower who refrains from
buying a new thing until it has been fully tried out
by others, not only loses much pleasure but often-
times, a big profit also.

We are not sure whether our correspondent refers
to Delphinium Belladonna for the open or under

Bug Hunters Try to Stop Sale of Flowers

Newspaper reports from New Orleans indicate that
the florists' industry, aud the gardening fraternity
generally, are or have been up in arms against an
order issued by Entomologist Barber to the police,
which virtually meant arrest for every person wear-
ing, carrying or otherwise transporting plants, cut
flowers, bouquets or boutonnieres.

The camphor scale is the cause of the alarm ; the
pest has been hovering around for a year or more but
Mr. Barber had takeu no previous action. The local
florists and gardeners doubt whether the Camphor
scale has injured a single tree in New Orleans. Com-
plications set in through the expressed view of State
Entomologist Anderson who has found the Camphor
scale of no serious import : Chief of Police Molony,
however, would not accept Mr. Anderson's suggestion
that the order be revoked, until he had consulted the
city attorney.

In the meantime, having Mr. Anderson's word for
it, the florists declared they would go on selling flow-
ers in spite of the order. It would seem that Mr.
Barber's order was issued under rules from Louisiana
State Quarantine Act 36 of 1910, but these rules liter-
ally embrace everything that grows, so that with
Mr. Barber's order in force, not even vegetables could
be passed over the garden fence without a permit
signed by that gentleman.

The outcome of the disturbance we have not yet
learned, but it serves to demonstrate that entomology,
backed by law, may prove a serious curb on business
if the trade is willing to accept it without protest.

11 may he taken for a tact tli;it fruit trees require
enormous quantities of water during the Spring when
they are making leaves and developing buds for the
following year. Lack of moisture in April and May
means starved buds for the following season. No
amount of watering or rain later will make up for
the shortage at the critical time.

Much the same may be said of ordinary garden
stock. Newly sown or newly set out plants cannot
make headway if drought persists. Early starvation,
due to lack of moisture, means weakness all through
the season. It is utterly useless to apply nitrate of
soda, or any other dry fertilizer unless water follows
immediately. Such fertilizers simply remain undis-
solved and, as the plant roots cannot and will not take
hold of such fertilizers as they do the humus from
decayed yard manure, the application of fertilizers is
wasteful, inasmuch that the more soluble parts will,
later on, be washed away without benefiting any-
thing.

Just remember that plants are largely water and
if desired at their maximum they must never go short
of it. This writer once asked a noted Viola and
Pansy grower for Covent Garden Market when he
began watering. "Water," he exclaimed, "we uever
let them get dry; we begin with the hose just as
soon as the surface soil shows white."

As the first plants are brought into Covent Garden
in early April this indicates that the hose is at work
early. w.

Water and Cultivation

HAPPY is the florist grower who has ample means
for watering his open air stock.
In times such as the present, when week after
week passes without any material rainfall, outdoor
stock is something of a gamble, and particularly so
where the soil is of a light sandy nature. For many
lines, a medium to light soil is an advantage; it is
easily worked and encourages fibrous roots, but in
periods of drought, the heavy soil is an asset, always
providing that it is kept well cultivated.

Heavy soil not frequently hoed, and especially after
a soaking rain or watering will crack and so lose
vast quantities of moisture. Light soil unless of a
fine nature does not run together so quickly and
therefore does not crack so readily.

But while moisture evaporation is less rapid in one
sense, it is more so in another, inasmuch that light
soil does not hold so much water in suspension ; thus,
even with cultivation, light soils feel the effect of
drought severely unless, as is sometimes the case, the
water level is fairly high.

Cultivation on all soils staves off serious effects,
especially if the hoes or cultivator tools work fully
three inches deep, but this cannot be done among
small or newly planted stock.

Particularly is this so on light land, as soil falls
away so readily. Because of this fact, a water supply
is of utmost importance. There are some who argue
that watering is of no service or that it is even
harmlul and that cultivation persistently conducted
will carry a crop through.

True enough, it will, and when water is not avail-
able cultivation is the salvation of a crop, but that
doesn't alter the fact that water properly applied
will not merely save a crop but make it 50 per cent
or 100 per cent better. This writer has done his
share of cultivating and watering aud knows one is
no use without the other, at least, the maximum bene-
fit is not obtained unless the two go together.

It may be a fact th'at our seasons are changing;
certain it is that if we have a dry Spring our crops
either the same year or the next are not up to the
mark.

J. Edward Marrett

Suddenly stricken by apoplexy on the morning of
June 19. J. E. Marrett, of Marrett & Miller, Chero-
kee road, Louisville, Ky., died the following morning
much to the sorrow of all who knew him.

An excellent florist, Mr. Marrett as partner in a
well conducted concern, came into contact with many.

He was a chaplain of the Louisville Lodge, No. 8,
Order of Elks, and was a staunch support of the
church. It was while dressing to attend divine serv-
ice that he was afflicted with the seizure, which un-
fortunately proved fatal. His wife found him lying
on the floor.

To her and all Intimately connected with her, the
sympathy of the trade is tendered.

The Strawberry Beetle as a Rose
Pest and an Antidote

A paper read ly Berman Junge tefore the
Indianapolis State Florists, June 7, 1921.

THE Strawberry beetle. T.vpophorus cannellns, is
rather an ambitious insect. It is always striv-
ing to get into the limelight. It first succeeded
in getting its name into print by destroying Straw-
berry plants ; next It caused quite a stir by attacking
Apple orchards in New England ; but it did not ar-
rive in the "Who is Who" until it began to attack
Roses under glass.

I hare prepared a few specimens of this beetle in
different stages of development and have also brought
some samples of his work. I am sorry to say that
mv specimens are not all that I might wish them to
be. However. I am glad to state that this Is due to
the fact that we have less beetles at this time than
we have had for several years. While you examine
these specimens I will continue to read.

An Omnivorous Pest

.\s mentioned, the Typophorus canellus was first
known as the Strawberry root-worm, because of the
fact that the larva of this insect works under ground
destroying the roots of the Strawberries. To the
Rose grower the adult, the beetle itself, is of great-
est concern since it is the beetle that does the great-
est, at any rate, the visible damage to the Eose
plants. It" feeds on the leaves and on the tender
bark of the young growth, also on the eyes as they
begin to swell. How much damage is done by the
larv* feeding upon the roots is dUEcult to determine.
At times, it must be very great for Mr. Dietz, our en-
tomologist, has told me of a case where all the tender
white roots have been almost entirely destroyed.

The Damage It Does

In June, generally between the first and fifteenth,
the signs of the beetles' destructive work increases
very rapidly until. In a badly infested place, there can
hardly be found a leaf or a bud or four inches of
young growth unmarred. For all this damage, the
beetle itself is very little in evidence because it feeds
on the underside of the leaves, keeping well out of
sight. It also has the habit of "playing possum :" that
is. at the slightest disturbance, it will drop to the
groimd and lie there motionless, and, being small and
of dark color, it is almost invisible. If you wish to
get a correct idea of the number of beetles, blow to-
bacco smoke among the plants. If you listen care-
fully you can hear them drop and so get an idea of
the number present. Another good way of ascertain-
ing the number is to shake the bushes and immediate-
ly afterward let the flame of a gasoline blow torch
play upon the ground between the bushes. The heat
of the torch will make the beetles run or fly.

Why the Grower Failed to Beat It

When the grower sees the Increasing signs of an-
other onslaught of the pest, he realizes that his strenu-
ous efforts of the previous season have failed once
more to rout the enemy. If Rose growing is not ab-
solutely vital to his business, he may decide, as
quite a number have done, to drop Rose culture en-
tirely, but if he is not so fortunately situated, he takes
up the battle anew. He smokes, sprays, powders or
gases: he uses arsenate, tobacco, cyanide or some of
the patent remedies but no matter what he uses, it
seems to be ineflfective. Beginning about the middle
of August, he notices a decrease In damage done and
flatters himself that he has found a remedy to cope
with this evD. Encouraged by this apparent suc-
cess, he attends to spraying or dusting the plants
more diligently than before. As the season becomes
cooler and the days become shorter, the damage and
the number of beetles continue to decrease until some
time in November, the Eose houses appear about nor-
mal. Then the grower, after reconciling himself to a
loss of one-haU or one-third of his Rose crop, discon-
tinues his efforts at the very time when Winter
weather puts his enemy at the greatest disadvantage.
And so it goes, year after year, and so it wUl con-
tinue untU we resolve to fight and watch our enemy,
not only when he goes over the top in the balmy
days of" June, but also while he is lying low during
Fall and Winter preparing for another campaign.

Need for Study

To win this battle, we must learn all about this
beetle ; In order to apply our remedies intelligently,
we must know all about its habits and its life cycle ;
we need facts, scientific facts that only an entomolo-
gist is qualified to establish and here I am glad to
report that Harry Dietz of our Conservation Depart-
ment and C. A. Weigel of the U. S. Bureau of Ento-

mology are making good progress in their efforts in
that direction.

Under natural conditions, according to our State
entomologist, Typophorus lays eggs in Spring; the
larvsB are feeding upon the roots of the Strawberry
during June and July and In the Fall, the mature
beetles appear above groimd. feeding upon the Straw-
berry leaves. The beetles pass the Winter in dor-
mant or semi-dormant state and conclude their life-
cycle by depositing their cluster of eggs In Spring at
the base of the plants.

A Disorderly and Unnatural Insect

This is a simple and orderly plan of life and leaves
very little to surmise. Unfortunately for us, how-
ever, the beetles under glass have adopted a more
careless way of living. Xo longer do all the beetles
deposit their eggs within a week or ten days ; eggs
may be found from early Spring until late in July
so that at the present time, we are uncertain whether
there are not two or even more broods reared annually.
At the end of last July I found at one time and with-
in a few inches of each other, eggs, two sizes of lar-
vae, pupse and beetles in different stages of develop-
ment. Indications are, however, that at least from
Oct. 15 to Feb. 15 the ground is free from these in-
sects in any form and the beetles above ground are
all that we have to contend with during that time
The beetle in Winter, say from November until Feb.
15, is very sluggish, lymg or crawling slowly on the
ground. He seldom and only during the warmest
hours of the day appears on the plants and he never
files. That means, and this is Important, that it
is at this time of the year not very likely to go from
one bench to another, so that if one bench is cleaned
of beetles there is no immediate danger of it being
again infested.

Remedies Partially Successful

As to the remedies, arsenates are most frequenUy
used. We have tried both arsenate of lead and Paris
green and. according to our experiments with beetles
confined in catches, dusting with a mixture of eight
parts of flour to one of poison, Paris green is the
most effective of the two ; it also has the advantage
of being less conspicuous upon the foliage. At best,
however, arsenates and all other stomach poisons,
whether applied as dust or liquid, will only reach a
small number of beetles because this insect habitually
feeds on the under side of the leaves and on such
other parts of the plant as are the hardest to reach
with the poison. Hydrocyanic add gas, using two
ounces per 1000 cu. ft. of space will kill practically
all beetles aiove ground, according to Mr. Weigel.
Since, however, the gas also injures the plants more
or less, its use is practical only during a very brief
period in Summer and at that time, as we have shown,
new beetles are continually emerging from the ground.
Jlr. Weigel also reports good results from applications
of wood ashes and tobacco dust in controlling the
larvfe. He writes, "These materials are applied at
intervals of five days and at a rate of 351bs to 401bs.
per 750 sq. ft, thus assuring a continuous leaching
of material through the soil." This remedy is doubt-
less one of the most promising heretofore recom-
mended and when used in connection with the gas
should give excellent results. It requires, however,
a good deal of labor and material in quantities that
might be difficult to obtain should this remedy be
universally adopted.

The Mulch Cure

After many trials, most of them unsuccessful or
partly so, we learned of a means of controlling this
insect, so simple that at first we failed to grasp its
full significance. Luckily, however, we recalled it
just at the most opportune time for an experiment and
although we tried it only in a half-hearted way, it
worked so well that we hope, if applied with the re-
quired care and enthusiasm, it will solve the beeUe
problem for ns. This plan, as described to us by a
prominent grower is this : A layer of mulch at least
one inch deep is applied to the Rose beds. Then
between Dec. 15 and Jan. 15, on cloudy, cold days,
the bushes should be shaken and then the mulch
should be immediately removed and with it will go
the beetles. Beetle-tight receptacles should be used
and one should be sure that the men entrusted with
the work understand exacOy the why and wherefore
of this operation so that they will do it as carefully
as possible. This operation may be repeated as often
as deemed necessary. If the mulch is put on only for
the purpose of trapping the beetle, any material may
be used, provided it is neither repellant to the beeUes
nor injurious to the Roses and it may be removed a
day or two after applied. Sawdust, fine manure, leaf-
mold, chaff or dried lawn clippings should be suit-
able.

Watching for Result of First Attack

If this plan, contrary to our expectations, should
fail or prove insuflicieut, we have another one in re-

serve. It is untried, but looks promising and was
suggested to us by the tobacco and wood ashes treat-
ment as mentioned before and also by the recommen-
dation by a lady florist who recommends a lye solution
for ground insects. We have tried lye on Rose plants
and applications as strong as one ounce in a gallon
of water per plant have not yet shown any bad ef-
fect on plants that were treated almost four months
ago.

Bringing Up the Reserves

We expect to use the mulch treatment as described
this Winter and next Spring we will examine our
benches frequenfly for eggs, larvie and pupae, from
May 20 to June 10. If we flnd the benches sufficiently
infested to warrant the treatment, we will apply lye,
first at the rate of one-half ounce per plant and will
increase the dose if necessary. It was our intention
to use lye solution, but this requires elaborate prepar-
ation as to tanks, pipes, pumps and so forth. So we
are going to try another plan, developed by our Mr.
Hillman. He mixes one part lye with six parts sifted
dry soil : then he distributes this mixture over the
bench so that each row of five plants will get the
required amotmt of lye and then applies the hose.
The first watering should be gauged so that the solu-
tion penetrates the soil at least two inches and not
much over three inches. By this time next year we
hope to be able to report to our fellow Eose growers
that this treatment has proved successful.

Massachusetts Horticultural
Society

Grand Exhibition of Tropical Ferns,
Sept. 22 to 25, 1921

IN DISTRIBUTING the schedule for this unique
exhibition President A. C. Burrage and See. Wm.
P. Rich write:

Inasmuch as ferns are among the most popular and
useful decorative plants and probably more generally
used than any other plant in private houses as well
as in greenhouses, fiorlsts' shops, and exhibitions, the
trustees of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society
believe that it would be of general public interest to
hold two large fern exhibitions, one this Fall of ex-
otic tropical ferns and one next Spring of native
hardy ferns.

Since the organization of the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society in 1829, many different horticultural
exhibitions have been held within its buildings, at
nearly all of which some fern plants have been seen,
sometimes many, sometimes few. These beautiful
plants are well known and their decorative value, both
in exhibitions and for ordinary household use, is
thoroughly established and appreciated, but the
records of the society show that there has never been
an exhibition where ferns were made the dominant
feature or where a serious attempt was made to hold
as complete an exhibition as possible of the different
species and varieties of either tropical or hardy na-
tive ferns grown in this country, or where one could,
by means of appropriately labelled living specimens
and descriptive literature, see for himself the differ-
ence between the various fern plants and thus easily
learn the peculiar characteristics of each variety.

The trustees of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society have arranged for a grand tropical fern ex-
hibition to be held at Horticultural Hall, Boston,
Mass., from Sept. 22 to Sept. 25, 1921, Inclusive, and
this early notice is sent to those who may be inter-
ested in the matter, so that every one who wishes to
do so may have ample opportunity to prepare for the
exhibition.

At the exhibition this September, as will be seen by
the enclosed schedule, ferns will constitute the prin-
cipal feature, but there will also be large and small
classes of tropical orchids, Crotons, Dracaenas, Rex
Begonias, Nepenthes, Selaginellas and Lyeopodinms.
Tou are cordially invited to make an exhibit in one
or more of these classes at the September show.

In May 1922 there will be a special grand exhibi-
tion of native ferns and for this a schedule is being
prepared and will be issued In a short time, early
enough to permit the gathering this Fall of the na-
tive fern plants desired for the exhibition.

The officers of the society will gladly answer any ■
inquiries from intending exhibitors regarding either '
exhibition, and will, if notified in time, do their nt- '
most to provide appropriate space for the various en-
tries.

(ViiHtinnid jniin iiiiijc 14C9)

they slionkl Krow widiout well fertilized and well
worked soil. The best wny of making these preparations
is to apply n good coat of barnyard manure late in
the Fall, ploughing it under to a depth of eight or
nine inehes. If the subsoil is inclined to be hard it
would be well to use a subsoil i)Iow first. After this
plowing the ground sliould be thoroughly harrowed
and then, after lying all Winter, it will be ready
for early Spring planting.

When all tbcse preliminary arrangements liave liad
attention yipu are then in shape to make plans for
the laying out of the nursery. If your plot is much
over an acre it will be well to use the "block sys-
tem." Nursery blocks may be of any size, but as here-
tofore suggested, rows of one to three hundred feet
in length are more convenient to work. A block could
consist of any number of such rows as miglit be con-
venient. The idea to be kept in mind is that of the
ease of finding stock and the less varieties there are
in a given block, the easier to find any one of them.
If the stock is to be much varied and few of a variety,
the more blocks will be required.

One other consideration that will determine largely
the prices of your finished product is how close you
plant your stock in the row. If your land is fairly
reasonable in price there is no question at all but
that the best way of planting is the square method.
That is, planting the shrubs the same distance apart
in the rows as the row^s are apart. This is certainly
the ideal way. The writer has seen such a common
shrub as .lapan Barberry grown with this system and
every single plant was a specimen and would com-
mand a top notch price. If your territory is one
that will want high class stock, by all means, plant
every shrub and tree under this system. It will pay
you big dividends. Not only does the stock grow much
finer but you can cultivate more easily and keep
things looking better. And, too, with the square sys-
tem you do not have to have your rows as wide as
you otherwise would. Planting three feet apart will
answer well for most stock.

Having determined on the block systems, etc., your
next job is to prepare a little sketch or map of your
nursery and letter or otherwise indicate each section.
Then when you plant out your Hydrangea P. G. you
will simply indicate on the stock book the letter or
number of the block where it is to be found. Be sure
and provide yourself with good large painted labels
which are not easily broken in cultivating or lost in
the weeds. A good size for a stake is Iin.x2i4iu.x2ft.
Besides containing the technical name of the plant
painted in black paint, the writer is using a
system of numbers. Every stake has a number, such
as "B23," and the number on the stock book shows the
name of the plant. As "B" is the number of the
block the plant is easUy found. Where the em-
ployees on the place are not thoroughly familiar with
plant names (and few employees are) all you have
to do is to say, "John, go and dig two plants of No.
23 la block B." This little system of numbering will
save you many extra and unnecessary trips into the
nursery when digging time comes.

Soil preparation, protection, careful plaiming, all
these things are essential to your success in the nur-
sery business and so we have oi^iered these few sug-
gestions to help you in the preliminary work. Our
next article will offer some suggestions on how to
plant, prune, etc.

If you find these articles of interest to you now
take a pair of scissors and clip them out and paste
them in a little scrapbook. They will be of value
later on.

not prove that the tree was true to name when it lol't
us, and the farmer would iu all probability forget all
about running over it, and swear that it was the
identical tree he received from the nursery. .\n
honest nurseryman would be subject to a line, and
what would be far worse, according to Sec. S, the
Secretary of Agriculture would publish his name as a
criminal, and this would practically put him out of
business.

"Any irresponsible or disgruntled employee could,
through carelessness or maliciousness, change the tag
on a bunch of trees, and no matter how anxious the
firm was to make the matter right, the Secretary of
Agriculture could publish the fact that it had been
prosecuted. This, of course, would be copied in many
papers and the firm would lose years of hard work
and its good reputation. There would be just one
thing that a man could do and that would be to job
his nursery stock to the fakir."

It is also claimed that the nurserymen would find
it impossible to comply with such a law, even though
they desired to. Nursery stock frequently passes
through two and three hands before it reaches the
ultimate consumer, and sometimes a variety is bought
in different quantities from half a dozen different
nurserymen. It would entail an endless amount of
red tape to keep a record of the name of the grower
of each tree, and it would require tracing every tree
through the hands of each man handling it, clear back
to the grower. e. A. D

Every Member Get a Member

An organized drive is on throughout the country,
the purpose of which is to secure a great, big mem-
bersliip for the Society of American Florists. The
accounts of the progress of this drive, as conducted
by Chairman J. F. Ammann who is traveling through-
out the West, has been published in these columns
from week to week.

We now propose doing a little publicity for the
S. A. F. on our own account, the credit, if any, to go
to The Floeists' Exchange, but the application blank
to be filled in and forwarded with cheque or money
order for $5 to John Young, secretary of the S. A. F.,
at 43 West 18th st. New York City.

We have been members of the S. A. F. since 1S91.
We have been present at every meeting since then
with the exception of two. We have followed closely
the growth of the society and we can say for it today,
in all truth and fervor, that it is doing such a grand
work for the benefit of the florists of the country
that every progressive man in the trade should not
only deem it his bounden duty to be a member of the
society but should really look upon it as an honor to
be considered "one of them."

There are three leading reasons why a florist should
become a member of the S. A. F. and, if at all pos-
sible, as well be present at its conventions.

In Washington, D. C, Aug. 16 to IS, one thousand
to fifteen hundred of the leading florists and allied
trades will meet together and, in no other way nor
at such trifling expense, is it possible to associate and

A complete botanical exploration and the dis-
semination of seeds and plants of new varieties, all
extremely hardy, should be made; a liberal trans-
ference of them to some wild flower locations in the
East as an experiment would be interesting.

Perhaps the wild Hollyhock might prove of value
in hybridizing for hardiness. If any one has further
knowledge of them, it would be interesting to hear.

At this convention will be held a great trade ex-

that has to do with the trade may be seen and exam-

outside the doors to examine them, confer with the
exhibitors and secure enough pointers to pay all your
expenses of the trip — and some over — that's benefit
No. 2.

Several hundreds of those who go to these conven-

take some of the family along. They enjoy all the
social amenities and then recuperate themselves and
their families at some nearby resort for the balance

Additionally, under the present administration it is
hoped to carry out plans under way to still further
greatly increase the value of membership in this
society. Many of the plans In this direction can be
more successfully carried out by a larger member-

pockets and there is no surer road to get it than by
attendance at the convention, observing closely and
taking the profit which will come to every individual
member who watches closely and imbibes the many
ideas he will come across during the convention at
the various sessions in the exhibition and, in converse

Nurserymen Oppose Misbranding Bill

Congressman Asked to Defeat Cramton Bill Which
Would Only Demoralize Legitimate Business

Members of Congress are being informed in no un-
certain terms of the views of nurserymen on the
Cramton bill introduced in the House of Eepresenta-
tives April 11, last, attempting to prohibit the mis-
branding of nursery stock.

It is charged that if such a bill were made a law
only one class of nurserymen would be left, namely,
the irresponsible firms which expect to stay in busi-
ness but one or two years, fleece the public for what
they could get, and then drop out of the game.

"Suppose," wrote one firm to Congressman Burton
E. Sweet of Iowa, "we sold a farmer a Wealthy Apple
tree; and that after he had it planted he ran over it
with a wagon and broke it off at the top of the
ground, so that the tree came up from below the
graft — it would not then be true to name. We could

The Place of Plant Breeding in Commercial

Seed Companies

By HERBERT J. WEBBER

General Manager of Pedigreed Seed Co., Hartsville, S. C.

.1 paper read at the Southern Seedsmen's Association Convention,' Memphis, June 20-21.

Plant Breeding and Seed Companies

While Dr. Webber m bis paper primarily refers to
agricultural seeds, bis remarks may be applied to fege-
table and flower seeds also. To a great extent, seeds-
men in the past have relied largely upon European
workers; great numbers of the vegetable and flower
strains we know today are the result o£ long continued
selection and breeding in Europe but it is by no means
certain that these strains, either under the original
or other names are kept up to concert pitch unless ob-
tained from the original source. The number of seeds-
men in the world who have their own stock seed and
which is kept up to perfection for distribution among
regular contract growers is probably extremely lim-
ited ; it is easier and less costly to rely upon a re-
putable wholesaler. But even the latter cannot run
to pedigreed stocks unless bis patrons are prepared
to pay the price, and in this respect we may mention
the fact that one of the leading European Pansy
strains is priced at .almost double what is asked for
the best here. High price may not always indicate
the best, but in this case, price has scarcely varied
in ten years.

Statement of Case

PLANT breeding, until within the last quarter of a
century, has been developed almost solely as a
private industry. With the great recent devel-
opment of the colleges of agriculture and the Agricul-
tural Experiment stations a growing tendency is ex-
hibited by these institutions to take over and prose-
cute thiswork to such an extent that in some cases
it is acting as a deterrent to private industry. That
our agricultural crops can be greatly Improved by
breeding has been amply demonstrated. The advance-
ment of agriculture and the development of civiliza-
tion requires that this work be actively pursued in
the case of large numbers of important crops. How
can this work be most effectively done? What agen-
cies should engage In it and what should be their
relations one to another? Wherever the work Is done
the public must ultimately pay for it, either directly
or indirectly, and our sole purpose should be to de-
termine what means or plan of prosecuting the work
will be most effective and efficient and place the bur-
den of its support at least mainly on those most
benefited by it.

As the matter arranges itself in the mind of the
writer, we are approaching the parting of the ways
when the correct path along which development should
take place must be determined by concensus of edu-
cated iniblic opinion. Private companies should not
Sittempt to build up big breeding organizations if gov-
ernment agencies* are to be held responsible for prac-
tical breeding work and the improvement of our
agricultural crops. Private companies can only suc-
ceed under the most favorable conditions and cer-
tainly cannot succeed in competition with the gov-
ernment.

On the other hand, government agencies should not
build up big seed breeding organizations for prac-
tical seed production if private companies can do the
work equally well and this is considered the proper
development.

Factors Necessary in Successful Plant Breeding

First let us inquire as to what factors or conditions
are necessary to insure success In the practical breed-
ing of plants and then it may be possible to deter-
mine whether these factors are more likely to be
secured in some organization under government sup-
port and direction or in private companies, main-
tained through the sale of the product. The factors
of success as the writer views the matter, are the
following in the order named : First, trained men of
ability; second, continuity of service; third, good
facilities ; fourth, inspiration.

The more able the man, the more surely will results
of lasting value be obtained. Breeding, we may say,
has been reduced to a science, but the making of se-
lections and the judging of combinations In mating

*Iii speaking of government work in this paper the writer has
reference to work supported by either county, state or national
govemraent indiscriminately, unless otherwise specified.

is in higli degree the application of both art and
science. The highest result, as judged by the turn out
of products of value to agriculture, is not to be ex-
pected from the most successful investigator of the
fundamental laws of inheritance and breeding, but
rather from the man who in highest degree knows
both the science of breeding and the art and science
of agriculture. I am not one who places much faith
in intuition in breeding, but rather one who bases
faith on the knowledge, Industry and accuracy of the
investigator or worker. Such a man I am willing to
call a wizard or any other rare designation as ability
of high degree here is rare as it Is in any other
line.

Continuity of service is fundamental to success. The
same ideals must be maintained throughout a given
piece of work and this can only be achieved usually
by retaining the same individual in charge of it.' Uni-
versities, in some of their positions, are able to retain
the same men through long series of years. How-
ever, in the agricultural colleges and the National De-
partment of Agriculture, men of marked ability in
any applied field are likely to have a short tenure
of service as their are many positions awaiting such
men in other institutions or in private service at a
higher remuneration. The very rapid change of men
in all of our agricultural colleges is a clear demon-
stration of this condition. Commercial companies en-
gaging in work of this nature are likely to pay better
salaries and can react quickly to retain service if
necessary. The practical development work in pro-
ducing new machines and devices in such private en-
terprises as the great electrical, steel, harvester,
kodak and similar companies is a demonstration of
the efficiency of such private agencies.

The including of inspiration as a necessary factor to
.success may be questioned. True, one must have the
inspiration, so to speak, to conceive the first ideal
toward which work is directed. They must, however,
be continually inspired to achieve. Whether this in-
spiration can best be obtained in government or state
work or in private companies is as yet in the writer's
mind questionable. If breeding was taken up general-
ly and on a large scale by the government, it might
possibly become largely routine work and be subject
to the stagnation one finds in some of the large gov-
ernment bureaus. On the other hand, in private com-
panies the reward for success is immediate and this
is a great stimulation. The organizers and directors
of large private companies are likely to remain con-
tinuously in connection with such companies and thus
give direction and inspiration to the work. Again,
in private work, success is necessary to continuance
of work and necessity is the mother of invention. It
would thus seem that the spur to success would likely
be greater in the long run under private companies
than under government organization.

Can Good Practical Work Be Done by Private
Companies?

That the breeding of new varieties and types can
be successfully carried out under priv'ate enterprise
is abundantly proven by the history of agriculture,
which is a liistory of private and personal achieve-
ment. Ephraim Bull, with his Concord Grape, and
Peter Gideon, with his Wealthy Apple, had no gov-
ernment aid. The early breeders of Sea Island Cot-
ton and the Long Staple Uplands such as AUen of
Mississippi, had no government aid and never ex-
pected it. Practically all of the varieties of all crops
that we now cultivate have been produced by Indi-
viduals working privately, without government aid
or supervision.

Where continuous effort is required to keep seed
lip to a high standard necessitated by some special
condition, private industry has again demonstrated
its efficiency. The breeding of Sugar Beets in Europe
and of Sea Island Cotton in this country form
good illustrations, of sustained action through years
by private parties.

Louis Vilmorln began about 1840 the selection of
Sugar Beets for increased sugar content, and devised
the method of systematic selection of mothers based
on sugar content that is still used. This method is
used in the production of practically all the Sugar
Beet seed used in the world. The original firm of

■\'ihnorin & Co., Paris, France, are still using the
method and large companies have developed also in
Germany and -\ustria that maintain large laboratories
and carry out very extensive and scientific work. The
sugar content of many hundreds of thousands of Beets
is determined annually by such companies and the
best ones chosen and annually grown for seed in the
process of maintaining highly bred strains. This
process of seed selection has made the Sugar Beet in-
dustry possible and is still maintaining it.

The Sea Island cotton growers of the islands off
the coast of South Carolina and Georgia where the
industry originated at first found the crop too late
in maturing and began a selection for earliness. They
were striving, also, for a Cotton with better fiber and
as the Industry grew a policy of seed selection from
individuals with superior lint was gradually devel-
oped and became a regular recognized method of the
industry. These island planters continued tills care-
ful work through many years and their plantations
became the regular source of seed for this best of all
staple Cottons. Unfortunately, the lateness of the
Sea Island crop illy fits it for boll weevil conditions
and the industry is now nearly extinguished in all
parts of the United States. The finest strains grown
have never been selected elsewhere and the produc-
tion of the finest grades of lint is not likely to be
undertaken again for many years. Many other illus-
trations of the effectiveness of private enterprise in
producing new varieties and In maintaining meth-
ods of systematic breeding through long periods of
years might be cited but everyone knows that this
has been the main source through which all of our
advance until recently has come.

Can Good Practical Work Be Done by Government
Agencies?

There can be no question that good work in the
production of improved varieties can be done also
by experiment stations and government agencies.
The successful illustrations that could be cited are
as yet comparatively few as the government mainte-
nance of agricultural experiment stations is a very
recent development, the effective organization dating
back only thirty to forty years. As illustrations of suc-
cessful productions developed under government serv-
ice we may cite the wilt resistant cottons. Dixie short
staple and Rivers' Sea Island, the Columbia, Keenan
and Express long staple upland Cottons, the Lone Star
short staple and the Pima and Tuma Egyptian Cot-
tons. In the State experiment stations much val-
uable work has also been done on many crops. We
may cite particularly the work in breeding cereals
conducted in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the Corn
and the Timothy varieties turned out at Cornell.

That government agencies may be depended upon
to continue work during fairly long periods of years
is demonstrated by the work of the United States
Department of Agriculture on the problem of pro-
ducing cold resistant Citrus fruits which was started
in 1893 and is still continued with one of the original
investigators, W. T. Swingle, in charge.

One of the most striking successes achieved under
government control and inspiration is the work car-
ried out in Wisconsin under the direction of Prof,
H. A. Moore, including the production of high yield-
ing varieties of Corn, Wheat, Oats, Barley, Eye and
other agricultural crops that have been bred and in-
troduced through cooperation with an association of
farmers known as the Wisconsin Agricultural Experi-
ment Association. This association in 1918 had some
five thousand members, distributed in all parts of the
state, who receive and test pedigreed strains pro-
duced by the experiment station- and who, in turn,
assist in the propagation and dissemination ot the
seed grown. There can be no doubt that this work
has resulted in materially increasing the average
yield of the standard agricultural crops grown in
Wisconsin and has thus been of great value to the
state.

The Use of Pedigreed Seed Should Be Extended

That the use of highly bred pedigreed seed should
be greatly extended in all crops and in all sections
of the country the writer accepts as a fact. It Is
doubtless just as Important to use pedigreed seed as
It is to use pedigreed stock. The methods of breed-
ing and the fundamental laws on which they rest
are practically the same in both cases. The only im-
portant difference is introduced by the difference in
value of the Individual. In animals, where the indi-
vidual Is large and valuable and reproduces but slow-
ly, we deal in Individuals and register the pedigree
of each selected animal. In plants where the indi-
vidual is of little value and where we must handle
millions of them, we deal in families descended from
highly selected individuals, or what would correspond
to pure bred herds, all of which would be eligible
for registration if their very great numbers did not
preclude registration. A good cow can only average
about one offspring per year. A medium good Cotton

greed plant hreedlni; means the iliscovcry ol! a su-
perior plant hy means of seleclinK and testing a largo

and then the propagation year after yo'ar of the liest

if tlie hroeding is being condncled hy a commercial
company, a part of Ibe seed from the best individual
selected each year is used in the rapid extension of
the family of this <ine sui)erior plant, in order to get
a large quantily of seed of the superior family in us
few generations as possible and olfer it for sale.
As the best plant is every year selected from the pro-
geny of the liest plant of tlie preceding year the
pedigrees are continuous.

The plant lueeder, like the animal breeder, must
make the individual the unit of the selection and
in the plant-to-row method this idea is carried out.
lu judging a plant by the performance record of
its progeny, we at the same time judge the value of
both the male and the female parent of the pro-
geny. This judgment of the value of a combination,
which in itself is highly important, is readily ob-
tained in plants but is only obtained with ditiiculty
in animals because of the slower reproduction.

Farmers Will Not Select Seed Carefully

The importance of using highly selected seed of
plants has been known for many years. The doctrine
of selection has been preached by the agricultural col-
leges all over the country since these institutions were
founded. 1 first became Interested in plant breeding
and made my first hybrids thirty-one years ago and
during all the period since, I have followed the de-
velopment of this work as closely as possible in all
parts of the country. I have talked and preached plant
breeding on all occasions as a necessary method of
farm practice, as have also many others, yet we must
confess that very little advance has been made
toward the general adoption of even the simplest
methods of seed improvement. I have come to the
very definite conclusion that plant breeding must
be conducted as a farm specialty, the same as animal
breeding, and that the maintenance of the work must
be through the sale of the highly bred product, the
same as in animal breeding. The farmers generally
will not or cannot carry out such work and at the
same time push their farming operations.

In the understanding of many, plant breeding means
only the production of striking new types or varieties,
but probably this is the least important line of plant
breeding in practical agriculture. Of greater im-
portance probably is the maintenance of the most near-
ly standard varieties of Cotton, Corn and Wheat in a
high state of purity and productivity through the use
of continuous systematic pedigreed breeding.

Seed Companies Should Be Plant Breeders

Seed companies, up to the present time, have in
large measure avoided this work and limited their
activities to the sale of good ordinary seed of stand-
ard varieties, and to the occasional introduction of a
novelty which they may have bred themselves, picked
up accidentally, or purchased. As a whole they have
given little or no attention to the breeding of their
seed stocks and the production and distribution of
pure uniform pedigreed strains. This, it seems to me,
is one of the demands of the future. Seed companies
should assume and accept more responsibility for
the character of the seeds they sell. At present they
are, in large measure, seed distributing agencies
only, handling large numbers of varieties and sell-
ing without reference to the general usefulness of a
variety and do not pretend to furnish seed with any
special breeding behind it.

If the work of furnishing highly bred seed is not
more generally taken up hy private companies, cer-
tain it is that the government agencies within the dif-
ferent states will soon be forced to provide the means
for the production and distribution of such seeds and
this will probably effectively prevent the develop-
ment of a private industry of this kind, and will
greatly interrupt and probably replace the now ex-
tensive sale of ordinary farm seeds.

Protection from Fraud

If pedigreed seed is to be produced and sold gen-
erally, there is much chance for fraud, and the thor-
ough going, honest worker needs protection as does
also the purchaser. Breeding work is expensive and
pedigreed seeds must sell for high prices. Can means
be devised to furnish such protection? The writer
sees no reason why seed control stations could not be
established In connection with the regulatory agricul-
tural work already conducted in the states where
seed vitality and vigor of germination could be tested
and control obtained by publishing the results as is
now done in the fertilizer control work. This could

al.so be followed by purlly tests and variety confirma-
tion tests made by growing standard test plats. This
tyiie of work has been dune in the seed control sta-
tions td' I.teuniark and tJermany. Some type of or-
gani>;alion to register varieties and strains under
societies of the breeders themselves, similar to the
associations of animal breeders registering Holsteiu
or Jersey cattle, ndght prove effective, the society at
certain periods (dhcially inspecting and passing on
the registration. The laolc of organized plant breed-
ing companies makes tins at present impossible of
realization.

Certain it is that the reputation of men engaged
in such a business and the success achieved with their
products will tend to weed out the inefficient or dis-
honest individuals or companies and will prevent any
great amount of fraudulent practice until satisfactory
control measures can be worked out.

What Plant Breeding Work Should Public
Agencies Do?

While the success of certain individuals engaged in
government or state service in organizing plant breed-
ing work to the great benefit of their states might in-
dicate that this would ultimately be the main method
of producing satisfactory supplies of highly bred
pedigreed seeds for the country, I cannot bring myself
to believe that in the long run this is the source to
which we should turn. It is a legitimate type of
work for private enterprise and endeavor and only
if private enterprise fails should it generally be taken
up as a government function.

What then should be the attitude of the colleges
of agriculture and experiment stations, many of
whom are doing very valuable work in certain direc-
tions? Should they give up their work in the produc-
tion of improved strains and varieties? Doubtless
none of us would be willing to attempt to answer this
question at present. All agencies are honestly seek-
ing the best method or means of advancing agricul-
ture.

The writer can himself only suggest what he feels
at present to be the proper attitude with a full appre-
ciation that he might change his opinion in a few
montlis. He feels that the function of the colleges
should be to discover the fundamental laws of breed-
ing, to demonstrate their application to the breeding
of different crops, and to spread this knowledge
through publications and direct teaching so that it
will be available for the use of all those interested.

Yet the writer does not believe that any depart-
ment of plant breeding in a college of agriculture
should turn their entire attention to the discovery of
scientific principles to the exclusion of the demonstra-
tion of their usefulness. The principle should be dis-
covered and its value in practice thoroughly demon-
strated by the development of valuable varieties and
strains. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating,"
and these demonstrations will be more convincing if
the new varieties developed are of practical value. The
application of the principle must be shown to be
practical and this demonstration is a necessary link
in the chain of experimental evidence that the practi-
cal worker desires.

Again such demonstrations are a necessary adjunct
of the teaching work where young men and women are
training for special fields of service. The breeding of
disease resistant strains, in securing disease control,
or of more hardy or earlier flowering varieties to es-
cape cold injury or some such special problems will,
in the writer's judgment, always form legitimate
fields for state or government endeavor to demonstrate
what can be done. He does not believe, however,
that such Institutions should build up large organi-
zations intended merely to produce and distribute such
varieties, to create a demand and to fill the demand in
a field which otherwise would be filled by private en-
terprise. The end result on which the public experi-
menter should depend for his credit is, in the writer's
opinion, the demonstration of the successful method
rather than the thousands of acres that he may suc-
ceed, by organized effort, in getting planted with his
new sort.

If the government experimenter is to derive Ms
credit mainly for the success in general cultivation
of his new sorts, he becomes an unfair advocate and
is likely to develop a feeling of resentment against a
variety or strain from any other source that comes in
competition with his production, yet he is a paid state
or government agent and should be an Impartial judge
on whom growers can rely with confidence. A cer-
tain feeling of antagonism toward any competing
product is almost certain to exist to some extent under
such conditions. I think that everyone will grant this
to be a natural human feeling. We have confidence
In the things we, ourselves, do, and know about. We
may be open minded, but we naturally distrust the
thing about which we do not know. So far as the
writer's experience goes, government workers in all
the states have been remarkably free from such bias

but it is certainly an undesirable policy tliat paves
the way for such feelings.

Distribution of Government Produced Varieties

'I'he writer is inciinoil to lielieve that valuable new
things produced in the course of oflicial government
or state work should be distributed merely sufficiently
to insure their general testing and it' they are in
reality iiilriiisirally vahuible sorts, the regular .seed
and nursery tr:iile ran be depended upon to give them
general distributi(jn. Special arrangements could very
properly be made with certain companies under such
safeguards as thought necessary, to grow and intro-
duce sucli varieties.

The policy of sending new or improved strains to
farmers here and there in a state under some co-
operative scheme, to be grown l)y them and sold for
seed purposes, may, under proper supervision, work
out satisfactorily. These farmers generally, however,
are not seed growers. They are not trained in the
methods of keeping seeds pure and in roguiug the
seed fields. They do not have the proper cleaning and
separating machinery and are not prepared to cure,
disinfect, store and handle the seed properly. Is it
wiser to build up a dependence upon such methods
of getting highly bred seed or to favor the develop-
ment of seed breeding specialists, as we now have
stock breeding specialists? They can scarcely exist
together where private industry is competing with
a government developed and fostered organization.

The great work carried out by Shamel of the
United States Department of Agriculture, working
in California with Citrus fruits during the last
ten years, demonstrated the importance of selecting
buds of fruit varieties used in propagation from trees
of known performance record over a period of years
giving regularly high yields of fruit of standard type
and good quality. His methods are now being applied
generally through private agencies. The California
Fruit Growers Exchange and various private nurser-
ies. The industry pays for and benefits by the ap-
plication of the principles demonstrated by Mr.
Shamel. Is not this better than that the government
should have built up large nurseries or attempted
to supervise the introduction of the strains they dis-
covered ?

Pedigreed Breeding a Function for Private Enterprise

It cannot be maintained that seed breeding work
is too complicated for successful prosecution by pri-
vate companies as the most complex and scientific
of all industries are successfully prosecuted in this
way. The manufacture of antitoxines and vaccines,
a most exacting business on which many lives de-
pend, is conducted by private companies. Our drugs
and medicines and even the administration of them is
left to private industry. What business could be more
exacting or necessary?

It cannot be claimed that private individuals and
companies are likely to be too inefficient or dishon-
est to successfully serve the people; means of control
can be found and honest, good work is certain to be
recognized while the "shyster" is certain to be found
out.

If we believe in the principle that the government
should only do for the people those things which they
cannot well do for them.selves ; if we believe in the
development of individual Initiative and private in-
dustry, then we can scarcely escape the conclusion
that the production of highly bred pedigreed seed for
general use should in general be prosecuted as a pri-
vate Industry.

If, however, this is to be the general trend of de-
velopment in the future, then seedsmen must soon
wake up to the necessity of pushing this type of
work and farmers and planters must be taught
to more generally recognize the Importance and value
of using such highly bred seed. At present, the in-
fiuence of the seed trade, by example, is largely op-
posed to this policy. The urging to use highly bred
pedigreed seed is all from the colleges and stations.
Seedsmen rarely offer pedigreed seed, probably because
it seems too expensive, but it must be high priced if
honest work has been done with it.

Probably another reason is that the cost seems out
of proportion in comparison with the prices of ordi-
nary seeds. If the demand is not soon stimulated and
filled by private organizations, oflScial organizations
will soon be formed in most of the states which will
mainly fill the demand for farm seeds and which, in
my judgment are not likely to be so efficient as well
developed private organizations. Which shall it be?

His Doubt. — "I am far from being an infidel," admitted the
bacltyard farmer, gazing a trifle ruefully at wliere his garden
had been. "Indeed, I believe the Scriptures, as old man
laeklin said, 'from kiver to kiver.' But in the light of my
own agricultural experience this past season, especially in
planting and nurturing Congressional garden seeds, I cannot
help wondering a little about the text of Scripture whicti aaya
that what a man sows that shall he reap." — Country Gentleman.

Total of above items $1.58

Estimated gross annual Income should

be 2.50

Original cost of merchandise purchased, whether
seeds or plants, must be added to above items. This
should not exceed 50e. per sq. ft. and much less would
be possible.

This cost sheet is based on 40,000 sq. ft. of bench
used in growing the following plants and flowers:

20,000 Chrysanthemums 20,000 Geraniums

20.000 Boston ferns 5000 Tineas

100.000 PaperwMte Nar- BOOO Ivies

cissus 2000 Calla Lilies

250,000 Holland bulbs 3000 Baby Rambler Roses

BOOO single plants of Poin- 2000 Climbing and Hybrid

settias Perpetual Roses

50 cases Easter Lilies 12,000 Hydrangeas

15,000 Cyclamen 6000 Primroses

-ilso assorted varieties of Spring stocli, Christmas
stock, flats of table ferns, "Valentine's Day stock and
Easter and Mother's Day specials.

In order that we may be able to make this table
workable, let us take as an example an establishment
that has ten houses 21ft wide and 130ft. long, each
with three benches 5ft. wide and 125ft. long, or a
total of 625 sq. ft. In the entire plant would be
18,750 sq. ft. For all the items listed, it would cost
to operate these houses 18,750 times 1.5S or a total
of S29,625. Xow if the operator bought much young
stock, this cost would increase until it would be a
maximum of 50c. per sq. ft. additional or another
$9375, making a total of $39,000. If this plant pro-
duced less than this amount gross, it would be ad-
visable for the operator to mate some very serious
Investigations, since he would find without this in-
vestigation that sooner or later he would be going
into bankruptcy or working long hours with but little
return; except, perhaps, if he were propagating all
of the stock which he was finishing. So to bring this
home to every pot plant grower, quickly figure out
how many square feet of bench space you have — not
glass area or ground covered — but actual square feet
of benches and multiply by $1.5S per sq. ft. per year
and add the cost of all the stock you buy for growing
on and the total will give you approximately what it
has cost you to operate your greenhouse per year.
These figures are not guessed at or estimated, but are
an exact transcript of a complete set of books cover-
ing a period of two years They are high because the
past two years' operation has been exceptionally high
and for that reason a safe method to adopt.

Chrysanthemums, 35c. per Plant

Xow let us try some specific item and see how it
works out. Take Chrysanthemums for instance.

These should all be planted by July 1 and harvested
by Dec. 1, so that for the sake of an average we can
easily figure five months. Some wUl be planted early
in June and can be marketed in middle October, but
the average wiU work out correctly.

Let the amount be 20,000 plants. This takes one
bench of 625 sq. ft. to carry the stock plants from
December to Hay or six months. SLs-tweltths of
$1.5S, the cost per year is 79c. per sq. ft., and 79 times
625 sq. ft. gives a total of §493.75 the cost of the
plants by the tune they went into the sand Three
months in sand on 300 sq. ft. of space would cost one-
fourth of a year's cost or one-fourth of $1.58, which
is 39c. (in round figures) and 300 times 39c. would
total $117. jS'ow 1300 sq. ft. wiU hold these plants
for one month; that is, the space they will consume
WiU not occupy all told more than 1300 sq. ft. for one
month. One-twelfth of $1.58 is 13c. or $169 In all.
So far the plants have cost us a total of $779.75 for
20,000 plants, which is $38.98 per thousand. This
represents the actual cost Twenty thousand plants
can be planted in 11,250 sq. ft. of bench space. They
will occupy this space, as stated before, for a period
of five months. Then five-twelfths of cost per year
or $1.58 would give the cost per square foot, which
is 65c. and 11.2.50 times 65e. is $7312.50, plus cost of
plants $779.75 or a total of $8092.25. This would
mean that you must get at least 40c. per plant out of
'Mums to make them pay. This is figured high for
the reason tliat the heat would only be applied for
practically one month and the pots would be omitted
altogether. This would reduce the tinit cost from
$1..5S to $1.32 but only on the last five months' opera-
tions and with one month's fuel added in, this would
change to something like this : five-twelfths of $1.32
or 55c. times 11.250 gives a total of $6187.50 plus cost
of plants, $779.75 or a grand total of $6967.25 or ap-
proximately 35c. per plant. Chrysanthemums are a
pretty hard proposition to grow profitably. It is only
because they can be grown as a crop when otherwise
the space would be empty, that they are popular.

Let us now take 20,000 Cyclamen. To start with,
the seed costs usually $12 per 1000 or $240. The space
they take up before they are ready for the solid
bench is approximately 150 sq. ft. The unit cost for
four months, or 53e. times 150 totals $79.50. One
bench 4ft. wide and 120ft. long will hold the seed
planted from Dec. to April 1 or four months, and four
months would be one-third of $1.58 (cost per year)
or 53c. times 480 (number of square feet in bench) or
§2.54.40.

As we plant them, they are put into benches in-
stead of pots from April 1 to July 1 and take up
3750 sq. ft. for three months, that is one-fourth of
§1.58 which is 39c., times 3750, or a total of $1462.50.

From this point on the amount of space they take
up varies, but it can be figured on a total amount of
space used and reduced to July — 9 benches, August —
10, September — 11, October — 11. November — ^10, De-
cember— ^10, January — 6, and February — 3, or a grand
total of 70 benches for one month; 625 sq. ft per
bench, times 70, totals 43,750 sq. ft. for one month
at 13c. per sq. ft. or §5687.50. This makes a grand
total cost of $7723.90. Figuring so that we may check
back, we find the equivalent of 57,370 sq. ft. has been
used for a period of one month to grow the Cyclamen
crop, at a cost of approximately 13e. per sq. ft. So
you see we are not very far off in using the average
of 13c. per sq. ft. of bench space per month.

Xow lef s take another crop, such as 12,000 Hydran-
geas:

Usually you must buy young stock and it seems
as though this is the cheapest since when your plants
all flower well enough so that there are no cuttings,
then your crop will bring the highest return. Figure
that the young stock, if of your own propagation, will
consume for the active time before being put into the
field approximately 4500 sq. ft. for one month; 4500
times ISc. (the cost per sq. ft.) totals §585 or .04 8/lOc.
each. I have gone over our outdoor records carefully
and find that it takes approximately 800 hours of
labor to hoe, spray, sprinkle, cultivate, pot and bring
into the greenhouse a lot of 12,000 plants : at 65c. per
hour this costs $520. To this cost should be added
the fertilizer necessary, water, the interest on the in-
vestment in land and any horse labor that is required.
This would add another additional $200, making a
total cost on all until brought into greenhouse in Fall,
of $1305 or an average cost per plant of approximately
lie.

This of course, does not allow for the pot, since this
item is accounted for in the greenhouse under so much
per sq. ft. bench space cost. Neither does this as-
sume that every plant is a specimen but takes into
consideration only the average. It has been our ex-
perience that the number of plants shrinks until they
cost us in 6in. pots somewhere between 29c. and 34c.
each. However, our average grade has been lower
than it should be because of sou conditions. After
these plants are brought into the greenhouse and
stored in the coldhouse and Chrysanthemum houses,
and later put into the forcing house, our records show
that these plants all told, good, bad and indifferent
consumed 31,250 sq. ft. bench space collectively for
one month ; at 13e. this makes a total cost of $4062.50

for entire lot Plus cost when ready to come into
greenhouse of §1305 or a grand total of §5367.50 and
an average cost per plant of 44 7/lOc.

Tou will notice this seems low, but this is for the
average only and the average saleable plants are as a
rule low. In our case, as stated before, they shrink
to as low as 35 per cent of the original amotmt, which
would increase the cost almost three times or to ap-
proximately $1.34 for each finished plant in a 6in. pot.
The producer makes it possible to lower liis cost down
to a basis where the plant suitable for a 6in. pot
should not cost more than .3.5c. in the field and 39c.
to force it, making total cost of 74c., but this means
for every plant, so the more there are that do not
flower, the higher goes the price of those that do.
The 7in. plants cost on this basis 95c. each and the
Sin. plants $1.52 each. It takes one sq. ft. of bench
space to flower the 6in. plant, 1% sq. ft. for the 7in.
plant and 3 sq. ft for the 8in. plant.

Boston Ferns: — ^Twenty Thousand

These are figured on the basis of 6in. plants. While
we do not grow all 6in. plants, yet the 6in. size gives
a good basis on wliich to average.

Toung plants cost about $6 per 100. It takes 750
plants to a bench of 625 sq. ft. Ton can get three
crops in a year or 2250 plants on 625 sq. ft, and at
§1.58 per sq. ft. cost per year, the total cost of the
plants would be $987.50 and each plant would cost ap-
proximately 44c TUs price seems low, but as stated
before, it is on the basis that every plant becomes
a perfect specimen. The great factor which goes into
the cost of production in the greenhouse business is
the proportion of perfect plants which come out of
a crop from the beginning to the end. I am giving
you the lowest cost for a 100 per cent production
basis and wherever there are any plants lost or do
not come through perfectly, this of course, adds to
the cost of the perfect plaits.

I could go into the analysis of each individual plant
but I do not believe that tliis is necessary. If you will
apply this general law you wiU not make a mistake.
A finished 4in. plant taies approximately three plants
to the sq. ft- ; a 6in. plant one to the sq. f t ; a 7iu.
plant lii sq. ft. to the plant and an Sin. plant 3 sq.
ft, to the plant. Every florist knows approximately
how long it takes to finish a plant and if you will
take the cost of the young stock and market quota-
tions will always be fairly safe in that regard and
then find out the length of time this plant is in its
various stages from the small pot to the finished
stage, and multiply this space occupied by 13c. for
every square foot, you can easily obtain the actual
cost per plant

■With the items which I have quoted above, the
prices which I have given you will answer your pur-
pose so far as getting down to a fixed basis is con-
cerned. By the same line of reasoning, I find that it
costs approximately 13c. to grow a 4in. Geranium.
Get these factors fixed clear in your mind that $1.58
is the cost of a square foot of bench space for a year
and 13c for a month ; that means propagation, houses
and all complete. That whenever a square foot of
bench space is idle it is costing you 13c. a month to
leave it idle and the sooner it is made to work, the
sooner it will help to reduce the price per sq. ft on
the average over the entire place. I am satisfied that
13c. is an unusually high cost and that with proper
cultural methods and efficient and constant filling in
of stock in your benches, the price should not ex-
ceed about 10c per sq. ft per month.

Blue Hydrangeas

This subject, discussed in our columns some few
months since, apparently attracted the attention of
many readers, not only at home but abroad also.

Quite recently, a Scottish nurseryman requested us
to send him further issues of Thk Exchange in which
the discussion appeared.

Now, from far distant Australia, comes the follow-
ing interesting letter.

Editor The Florists' Exchange:

In this locality there are thousands of Hydrangeas,
and all come a beautiful blue. So common are they,
that the price for panicles 12in. across is only 25 cents
a dozen.

Our soil contains much iron and little lime. To
produce pink flowers on such as Otaksa, we have to
add 50 per cent, lime to the soil. If you place in the
soil where Hydrangeas are growing, iron in any form,
old fruit cans well rusted wUl do, or powdered iron
from the druggist the flowers should come blue every
time.

Here, even Madame Monli6re, the white, is inclined
to a porcelain blue tint." Gelbeex Eeeet.

Trade Notes

The month of weddings is keeping
up its reputation in Kansas City, with
a goodly number of marriages and the
usual proportion of elaborate events. The
church weddings have been as notable as
in previous years, several of which the
Rock Company handled. Especially large
quantities of flowers as well as plants
were used. There seems to be no marked
decline in the ordering of flowers for
funerals, a class of business which was
particularly active the third week of
June.

Graduation season kept the florists
busy in Kansas City, and it was noted
that there was a slight increase in the
number of events marking the close of
the school year. The many private
schools had not only their commencement
affairs, but social events also, and theatri-
cal performances, which increased the de-
mand for flowers. While the rule gener-
ally observed was "no flowers'* for the
grade school graduations, there were
many opportunities to evade it, and par-
ents and friends who wished to compli-
ment the girl graduates in the most ap-
propriate manner managed to see that
they had flowers.

Except for the stimulation of trade for
the special events of the season, the trade
in flowers has been light. Florists antici-
pate a light business through the Sum-
mer.

Lily of the Valley and white Roses have
been the most popular items for wedding
purposes this month, and all florists have
shared in this distribution.

News Notes

The Alpha Floral Co., Eleventh and
Walnut sts., has taken another long lease
on this location. This is still considered
about the heart of the shopping district.
A good many years ago. Petticoat Lane
became the downtown center of Kansas
City — this Lane being Eleventh st. from
Grand ave. to Main st.. Walnut being the
intermediate street between Grand and
Main. The largest department stores, a
number of women's specialty stores meas-
uring in volume equal to the largest retail
establishments of the East, have large
places in Petticoat Lane. The building in
which the Alpha Co. is located is occu-
pied by specialty shops. The big jewelry
stores of the city are within a block of
the Alpha store; it is therefore literally
in the heart of the shopping district. The
company has, during the past year, in-
stalled extensive new equipment, secur-
ing additional space in the basement for
machinery and for storage. The company

is well BcttU'd therefore, with prospocta
for nnother long period of prosperity, ao
far as location ia concerned. The Alpha
Co. has two other factors of success; it
advertiscH extensively, and it gives real
service; maintaining its standard set by
its slogan, "We strive to please."

June 27 will be a notable day for the
florists of Kansas City — not only for the
event that will occur then, but for tlic
.series of advaueca that it is hoped will
follow. A special meeting of the rlub of
local florists will be held and J. F. Am-
mann and Hilmer Sweuson will speak.
Invitations are being sent to growers and
florists in the community, the effort being
to provide in this meeting an opportunity
for all the industry in this district to get
the inspiration of the bigger things pos-
isble for the business. The meeting will
be held at 1121 Grand ave, third floor, at
S o'clock.

It is said to be an open question as to
tiie efleet on sales by floral companies, be-
<ause of the dearth of homngrown flowers
this Spring. Florists call attention to
t'-a* fact that in many patr yea:s when
homegrown flowers have been especially
plentiful, their trade has been large. This
year, the weather of Winter and Spring
was such that many householders have
practically no flowers, so far, in their
yards. The climbing Roses were hit hard;
and while the blooms are more beautiful
than ever, they are scarce. With this
shortage of home grown Roses, the trade of
the florist might be expected to be large;
but there has not been increase sufficient
to offset the lack. It is suggested that
when people lack the stimulation of in-
terest in flowers, of the blooms at hand,
they lose interest in flowers. But there
promises to be an unusually large amount
of production of flowers from Spring sown
seed this year, which may later stimulate
the demand for the florists' products.

At small expense to himself, T. A.
Mosely, Kansas City, Kansas, florist, was
instrumental for the detection, arrest and
conviction of a check forger recently.
This forger had, it is charged, passed
many worthless checks in the two Kansas
Cities. His practice was to buy mer-
chandise, making the check for an amount
larger than its cost. He got the extra
cash and sometimes failed to claim the
goods. In the case of Mr. Mosely, he
bought a few dollars' worth of flowers,
giving a check for two dollars in ex-
cess of the price, and receiving the cash
for the difference. Mr. Mosely happened
to be particularly prompt in discovering
the loss; alert in noting and keen in
remembering the appearance of the forger
— and diligent in prosecuting the offender.
The net result of all these factors was
that the delinquent was arrested and,
partly on the showing of the Mosely
check, convicted and sentenced to ninety
days in jail.

The Market

The warm weather is more than
hurrying the flowers along. They are ar-
riving in large quantities, the quality, of
course, is not up to standard, but this
condition cannot be helped on account of
the scarcity of rain. It has been over
two weeks since we have had what we
could call a good rain. The local grow-
ers are on the market with Sweet Peas
and Gypsophila; both are moving very
good. Gladioli are coming in day by day;
the quality is good, but the quantity low.
Business for the past week has been a
little better than usual. There has been
more funeral work and weddings have
taken a decided spurt.

The Market

June 20. — The market has been a
quiet one all week. The very hot weather
has shut off the demand except where
flowers were absolutely a necessity. Wed-
dings, fimerals and school closings of
course took a few flowers. The stock
plainly shows the effects of hot weather;
Carnations are getting smaller and quality
is very poor; Shasta Daisies are in and
a few outdoor Sweet Peas linger on.
Delphiniums and Gladiolus are coming
in freely, the latter are falling in price.

Nevrs Notes

We regret to announce the death
of Mrs. Anna Hummert, beloved wife of
August H. Hummert, vice-president of the
St. Louis Seed Co., at the age of 41.
Mrs. Hummert gave birth to a child the
previous week and died from shock. All
his friends and he has many of them,
deeply regret the terrible loss he has ex-
perienced. The funeral took place Sun-
day, June 19, from his residence to Em-
maus Lutheran Church; the interment
was at Trinity Cemetery. The floral of-
ferings were numerous.

Walter S. Puffer of Vaughan's Seed
Stores was in the city during the past
week calling on the trade.

Everything is in readiness for the Seeds-
men's Convention; a big crowd is ex-
pected.

Fort Wayne, Ind.

W. J. and Al. S. Vosey report whole-
sale business ii;en<Mally good. Roses and
Carnations are very much affected by the
intense heat of the past week and are
moving slowly. There is quite a brisk de-
mand for orchids, but the supply is small.
The firm has just finished painting its en-
tire range, both inside and out, which has
greatly improved its appearance. A new
orchid house is also being erected.

Doswell Floral Co. says business is very
good. Many wedding orders are coming
in and the company also reports good
sales on Roses.

Mr. and Mrs. Doswell are spending a
week in St. Louis.

Lanternier, Florists, had a very at-
tractive window display for the June
brides and report business good for this
time of year.

Flick Floral Co. has had a busy time
filling wedding and funeral orders and
say business is good. N. B.

Toledo, 0.

The number of weddings for June has
fallen off considerably, due to the indus-
trial depression, unemployment and other
causes. However, there is considerable
demand along this line for flowers, and
some of the florists here have had some
generous sized wedding decorations for
churches and wedding breakfasts. The
weather, after a spell of continued rain,
has steadied and no rain has fallen here
for ten days. It has been cool up to this
writing, but is getting very hot at this
time. Outdoor stock is blooming earlier
this season and that accounts for a cer-
tain falling off in demand. Graduations
are occasioning some improvement in the
situation. Wedding anniversaries and
birthdays call for quite a few flowers in
June. Here is a feature that can be very
profitably increased by the proper pub-
licity. Florists here are very lame in
this respect and could do a great deal to
make an ordinarily dull season pay some
profit.

Stock is in excess of demand and the
usual flowers for this season are being
shown. Garden flowers offer a pleasant
change and the demand for these is fairly
lively. Those florists who cater to Spring
planting still report a fairly active de-
mand for all kinds of bedding stock. On
the whole, the outlook for the Summer is
discouraging, but today, as never before,
business such as there is comes only to
those who have the nerve and pep to
spend a little money to go after it. Such
florists are the ones who are never dis-
couraged and always greet you with an
optimistic smile.

Gathered Here and There on a Hot
Bay

The Toledo branch of the Ohio
Flower Growers Association met Monday
evening, June 13, at Schramm Bros, to
perfect their organization here and to
listen to the inspiring talks of Carl Hagen-
berger of Mentor and of Messrs Anderson
and Vinson of Cleveland, who came here
to explain the work and the constitution
of the growers' organization. On Monday,
June 20, most of the local members went
to Columbus to attend the first meeting of
the State Association.

Schramm Bros, used one of their dis-
play windows to good advantage last week
for a very attractive stork window that
received much favorable observation from
passersby. A large stork carrying the
new arrival was used as a centerpiece,
around which were grouped artistically
made-up cradles, wheelbarrows and bas-
kets of Sweet Peas. It was the work of
George B. Schramm, designer, and
brought some business.

Metz & Bateman report quite a lively
call for wedding bouquets, commencement
bouquets and anniversary gifts.

Funeral work shows occasional spurts
at the Century Flower Shop, particularly
when prominent people pass away. The
window displays of this store are always
worthy of passing attention.

Albert Lehmann of Schramm Bros., ac-
companied by his wife and children, are
motoring to Houghton Lake for a two
weeks' vacation.

At the fimeral of Miss Bromwell,
aviatris, flowers were strewn over the
casket by a local aviator as it was being
drawn through the streets. Weddings in
the air are also becoming popular.

idea.
The dye keeps indefinitely in dry form, dissolves instantly and one

The Market

June 21. — Roses and Carnations
and, in a lesser degree, other staple Hew-
ers cleaned up fairly wejl at firmer and,
in the case of Carnations, at higher prices
last Saturday and this Monday, but the
great flood of miscellaneous stock of an
extremely large number of kinds and va-
rieties went slowly at quite moderate
prices, in fact some of it at any price
offered. Today the same conditions con-
tinue except that there is a somewhat
smaller demand for the staple flowers.

What is kno^ATi as the Summer crop of
Am. Beauty Roses or, briefly expressed,
"Summer Am. Beauties," which began to
come into the market several weeks ago,
is now arriving in considerable numbers;
special grade blooms of these are selling
for 20c. to 50c. each, other grades bring-
ing proportionate prices. The seasonable
large arrivals of other Roses are fetching
about as follows: Top grade blooms 6c. to
15c. each, except Hadley which is realiz-
ing 20c., Crusader 25c. and Key 50c.
Prices of No. 2 grade blooms, which are
somewhat firmer and higher, range from
§2 to $4 per 100.

The medium supply of Carnations,
which are keeping up well in quality, is
bringing $3 to §6 per 100 for select
blooms; $1.50 to §2 for the rest.

The moderate supply of Cattleyas is
meeting with a medium demand at prices
ranging from 35c. to §1.50, but any price
above the dollar mark can be obtained
only for choice blooms of the variety gigas.
The abundant supply of Lily of the Valley
is moving out rather slowly as is also the
small supply of Lilies, the former at §1
to $6, and occasionally $8 per 100 for
stock good enough to fill shipping orders,
and the latter at $12 to §20 per 100.

The number of kinds of varieties of
miscellaneous flowers now in the market
is extremely large and so are the arrivals
of some items of these flowers. In ad-
dition to the lists of these flowers which
we have given in previous reviews we may
add this week blooms of the perennial
Gypsophila, Shasta Daisies, perennial
Sweet Peas, perennial Phlox, hardy Hy-
drangea, Burning Bush, Zinnias, New
Jersey Tea and Yarrow, the two last be-
ing gathered from the fields.

Greens are meeting with a medium de-
mand at quoted prices. The best Smilax
is bringing ^i per doz. strings. The sup-
ply of Asparagus from the South is un-
usually heavy for this time of the year,
and meets with a slow demand since it
drops its leaves badly.

There were three factors this week
which helped considerably the sales of
cut flowers in this city; namely, June wed-
dings, which call for the use of high grade
Roses, Lily of the Valley, orchids and
Lilies; private school commencements for
which are used the higher grades of all
staple flowers, including, of course, those
just mentioned; public school commence-
ments, where Carnations and mostly
medium grade Roses, and some miscellane-
ous flowers are demanded. There will be
no other extended period, such as June
brings, or even a single day which es-
pecially calls for the use of flowers, until
Fourth of July. Though this day has
not been in the past a holiday on which
flowers have met with a general and large
demand, it would seem that the retail
florists by showing in their windows pa-
triotic bouquets, boutonni&res, and dinner
table decorations, into all of which may
enter a free use of red, white and blue
ribbon, and American flags, as well as
red, white and blue flowers, might' grad-
ually make of Fourth of July a holiday
which woiJd call for an increasingly large
rise of flowers.

The Summer solstice, June 21, the long-
est day in the year, has now passed. After
this, vacations in the retail and whole-
sale flower stores will begin; in fact, some
are already away. These liberty days,
which vary in length from two to four
weeks, give to both proprietors and em-
ployees the needed rest and change from
a strenuous year's work for, be it known,
the flower business, though it has to do
closely with "the sweets of Nature," de-
mands of those who engage in it untiring
industry and close attention for the
achievement of even a moderate business
success.

Comineudation for A. M. Hensliaw

The following letter from Warren Shaw
Fisher, National Commander United
American War Veterans, is self-explana-
tory :

United American War Veterans,

National Headquarters,
471 Lexington ave.. New York.

June 19, 1921.
Commander A. M. Henshaw,
Henshaw Floral Company.

My dear Commander: — "At a meeting
of the Memorial Committee of the United
American War Veterans, a unanimous
vote of thanks was extended to you for
your kindness and cooperation in assist-
ing them in bringing about the most elab-
orate floral services for our honored dead
which has ever been held in the history
of the country.

"The scattering of the beautiful flow-
ers, donated by you and your associated
florist members, upon the waters of the
Hudson by the Gold Star mothers of our
departed dead, will ever be remembered
and deeply appreciated. It is our pleasure
to request that you send to us a list of
the floral contributors, that our Memorial
committee may send a personal letter of
thanks to each individual who helped us
make our affair such a wonderful success.

weighing 1500 pounds) upon the Statue of
Liberty, proved to be the most wonder-
ful event throughout the country, and it
is our pleasure to forward to your as-
sociation at a later date a large photo-
graph of same for your assembly rooms."

The S. A. F. Membership Drive Com-
mittee held a meeting at 2 p.m. Tuesday,
at the S. A. F. headquarters, 43 W. 18th

St.

The arrivals in the wholesale flower
market of Feverfew are large this week
and as it is difficult to dispose of so many
white flowers, just at this time, it oc-
curred to the veteran wholesaler, J. K.
Allen, that these flowers could be colored
pink, in the same way that white Chrys-
anthemums are. The experiment was
tried, and the results were quite success-
ful as we can testify, since we saw a fine
lot of these pink Feverfew at J. K.. Allen's
along with the white. At the same place,
we noted some extra fine purple and
pink Candytuft.

Among those who took in the outing
of the New York and New Jersey Plant
Growers Association this week were Mr.
and Mrs. Roman J. Irwin. A. L. Miller
was detained owing to S. A. F. and other
duties.

On Flag Day there was on view in Le
Moult's window at 51 W. 28th st., a basket
of red, white and blue flowers, namely,
Hadley Roses, Lily of the Valley and Del-
phinium Belladonna in a pleasing arrange-
ment. Right across the street almost, at
Young & Nugent's, No. 42, on this same
day, in a window gracefully draped with
American flags, we saw another basket of
red, white and blue flowers. The flowers
which entered into the artistic arrange-
ment of this basket were Francis Scott
Key Roses, white Stocks and Delphinium

formosum. In this same window we noted
a photo of a wreath designed by Yoimg &
Nugent for Lieutenant Quentin Post 10,
Veterans of Foreign Wars. This wreath
was placed at the grave of Theodore
Roosevelt, father of Lieutenant Roosevelt,
on :Memorial Day. The material entering
into this wreath, we were informed, was
orchid colored Magnolia and Cycas leaves.
The wreath was tied with orchid colored
ribbon to match and in gold letters on
this ribbon was the legend, "In Memory
of Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt." We
had the opportunity to see at this store
some other examples of work in orchid
colored Magnolia and Cycas leaves, a
color new to us and certainly very strik-
ing.

It is with more than ordinary regret
that we have to chronicle the death of
Harold Trepp, manager for the wholesale
florist, Clarence Slinn, who passed away
on Sunday night at 7 o'clock at the New
York Hospital, where he was taken on
Tuesday, June 14, suffering from double
pneumonia. Mr. Trepp was 20 years of
age; he had been in Mr. Slinn's employ
for about six years. He was a young
man of quiet and pleasing manners and
was well liked by his associates in the
18th St. wholesale flower market and by
his friends in the other flower markets.
The funeral services were held on Wed-
nesday from his late residence, 328 W.
28th St. He is survived by a mother,
father and brother. Mr. Trepp would
have attained his majority next January,
and expected to be married some time
this year.

The store of Dolansky and McDonald at
43 W. 18th St. was closed on Monday of
this -week. We understand that this clos-
ing is temporary. Wm. Wilbert, manager
of this store, has entered the employ of
Samuel C. Gilbert, the well known Travel-
ing Wholesale Florise.

At the Henshaw Floral Co. this week
we saw- some of the finest and choicest
Cattleya gigas that we have noted in the
market this year, also some choice blooms
of Lilium grande and, probably what
were the last Gardenias of the season.

Wm. Bogart, the well known 6th ave.
retail florist, was taken to the Posft
Graduate Hospital in this city on Wed-
nesday, June 15, and underwent an opera-
tion for appendicitis. We are informed
that his present condition is favorable to
his ultimate recovery.

Among the newer flowers of the season
in the wholesale market we saw recently
Amaryllis, Clivia and Hollyhocks, double
and single, at Clarence Slinn's. Of course,
it is not unusual to see the Amaryllis and
Cli-\aa in their season, but we do not re-
call having seen the spikes of double and
single Hollyhocks before in the wholesale
flower market.

There are loads of Delphinium coming
into the market just now and have been
for some time, but some of the best we
have seen and in the greatest variety we
noted recently at J. S. Fenri(>h's, where
we saw not only the familiar turquoise-
blue variety. Belladonna, but; also for-
mosiun, the dark blue, and several other
varieties.

Max SclUing's School of Floral In-

stimction Opens

Max Schling, the well known retail
florist of 785 Fifth ave.. New York City,
opened his school of free instruction in
floral work in the Hotel Netherlands, on
Wednesday of this week at 10 a.m. Thirty-
two pupils registered and attended the
morning and 45 the afternoon session, an
excellent showing for the opening day.
This school will be in session ten days,
six hours each day, from June 22 to July
2.

The registration list shows that the fol-
lowing cities will be represented:

Harrisburg, Pa.; St. Paul, Minn.; New-
burgh, N. Y.; Fitchburg, Mass.; Pueblo,
Colo.; Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa;
Spring\-ale, Me.; Newton, N. J.; Spring-
field, Mass.; Champaign, 111.; New Bed-
ford, Mass.; Camden, N. J.; Norwich,
N. Y.; Washington, D. C; Ehnira, N. Y.;
Islip, N. Y.; Baltimore, Md.; Oshkosh,
Wis.; Richmond Hill, N. Y.; Shamokin,
Pa.; Chatham, N. J.; Ithaca, N. Y.;
Rutherford, N. J.; North Bergen, N. J.;
Holton, N. J.; Ashtabula, Ohio; Dallas, .
Texas; Darling, Pa.; Reading, Pa.;
Punxsuta^-nev, Pa.; Wilson, N. C; New-
ark, Ohio; Rockland, Me.; Buffalo, N. Y.;
Allentown, Pa.; Oil City, Pa.; Lima, Ohio;
Yonkers, N. Y.; Erie, Pa.; Grand Rapids,
Mich.; New Milford, Conn.; Rutland, Vt.;
Brockport, N. Y.; Elyria, Ohio.

In his preparatory remarks at the open-
ing session, in which he gave instruction
in bridal floral work, Mr. Schling gave
some of the reasons which led him to
begin this missionary floral work.

Several persons im.der standing that
there would be some charge sent advance
cheques, but to their surprise these were
returned, for Mr. Schling says that this
work of instructing is something which he
would not do for money and that any
remuneration would take from the plea-
sure which he receives from the work.

These lessons of instruction are given
in a large reception room at the Hotel
Netherlands, which is nest door to Mr.
Schling's store. There are tables in this
room at each of which three pupils sit.
To increase interest in the work which he
is doing, Mr. Schling has everybody in
attendance working with him.

Mr. Schling has made arrange-
ments with the Hotel Netherlands to the
extent that a very decided concession will
be made to the students who wish to take
their lunch there. Lunch will be served
in the main dining room.

Tlie Market

June 21. — There is not much change
in market conditions from last week's re-
port. The weather has been extremely
warm with stock in abundance and hardly
a normal demand.

For the first half of June, conditions on
the local market were of necessity slow;
sales have not been as large as last year
at this time, and the general tenor of June
flower buying will hardly equal that of
one year ago, unless from some unexpected
source, some new conditions arise. There
have been a few notable weddings where
much stock was used, but on the whole,
matrimonial flowers moved in less volume
than one year ago.

On the other hand flowers for gradua-
tions have been liberally called for, and
funeral work never ceases; it never has
and never will while the continent exists.
All this keeps the trade reasonably busj-
and while prices are low there is a large
amount of stock moved daily. Summer
temperature coming ahead of calendar
time, is given by a few as harmful to the
trade; a cooler Jime would be better.
There are several weddings on the tapis
before the month is over and with the loos-
ening of the building problem it looks as
if the slack in the first half of the month ^
may be materially tightened up before
it passes out. '

There is a good supply of Roses in all
varieties, but owing to warm weather
much of the stock is received too open
for shipping. Tight stock for the out of i
the city trade brings the top market j
price, but the open stock, regardless of I
other conditions, is sold cheaply to dealers j
if they can use it, if not, to any one who
will buy. This causes much of the stock |
to get into other channels outside of the j
trade; this is not desirable but the condi- |
tion cannot well be prevented no mat- |
ter how many may clamor for it.

Peonies are still an important factor
on the market, but the supply is confined
to stock grown north of here. The local
crops are gone with some exceptions where
growers have late varieties, but the sup-
ply of these cut but little figure on this
market. There is much of the northern
stock going into storage after the daily
wants of the market are supplied and it ;
is a fact that there will be some fair
stock obtainable until after July 1, if not
later. Gladioli are increasing in supply;
there are some fine Mrs. Pendleton, green-
house groTi\Ti from local growers which
bring the top market price of 815 a 100.
Outdoor stock from the South is bring-
ing from S5 to §6 a 100. It promises to
be a great season for Gladioli growers,
as from all reports the plantings are on a
larger scale than ever before and with the
southern crops coming in two weeks
earlier, they are destined to a long sea-
son. Some growers are still planting for
late crops.

A'alley, Daisies, Sweet Peas and orchids
have been in moderate demand for wed-
dings; all are in sufficient supply except-
ing Sweet Peas, the warm weather short-
ening their season considerably. There are
enough of Easter Lilies at $15 to $20 a
100.

There has been quite a lot of Liliiun
candidum on the market of late; these
were useful for decorative work and wed-

MEMORY TESTS
Botany — Answers

What is a saprophyte plant? One that lives
on dead or decaying matter. The Mushroom
is a good example of this type of plant.

How many kinds of leaves have we, named
on account of their shape? Nine.

Can you give the names of the different
kinds of leaves? Linear, oblong, elliptic,
lanceolate, spatulate, ovate, obovate, reniform,
and bicular.

What is a deciduous plant? One that sheds
its leaves every Fall.

What four things are necessary to constitute
a complete flower ? The calyx, corolla, stamens,
and pistils. Any flower with one of these
wanting is termed an incomplete flower.

^ Into what two classes are nearly all stems
divided? Endogenous, where the stem grows
throughout all its parts, as in Indian Corn,

dings. Delphiniums are freely offered
and sell well the pale blue and the dark
Belladonna varieties being most generally
seen. Pond Lilies, Coreopsis, Gaillardias
and many other garden flowers are in
vogue also. The new crops of ferns coming
in has eased the situation in green to a
point that it is no longer troublesome.

News Notes

It is proposed to have a temporary
office of the F. T. D. on the Mxmicipal
Pier during the progress of the Pageant
of Progress exhibition. A local society,
consisting of the Chicago members and
those from suburban towns has been
formed for this purpose. The F. T. D.
will he asked to appropriate the sum of
SoOO for this purpose the home committee
to contribute from $1500 to $2000 for
maintainance.

It is proposed to take orders daily dur-
ing the exposition for delivery in other
•cities.

The local committee in charge of the
affairs of the annual convention of the
American Association of Nurserymen,
which convenes here June 22-24, held a
Tneeting at the Congress Hotel, Saturday,
June 19, when all plans for the meeting
were reported to be well taken care of.

H. E. Humiston, the well known ferti-
lizer man, is in the city after an extended
trip. He states that the fertilizer busi-
ness is not active. High freight rates
and a scarcity of raw material is given
as the cause.

Peter Schousboe, for some time superin-
tendent of the Peter Reinberg green-
houses, has rented a section of them, com-
prising about 50,000 sq. ft., and will grow
Roses and Carnations, which he proposes

A. J. Zech and family have spent the
last two weekends at the Dells in Wis-
consin, to which point he motors up on
Saturday and returns on Monday. As a
reminder of his prowess as a fisherman, he
has brought nice strings back on both
occasions.

The building at 66 to 72 E. Randolph st.
occupied by the Poehlmann Bros. Co., has
been leased for a term of 21 years to a
feather and cloak company after the expi-
ration of the least of the Poehlmann Bros.
Co., which runs until May of next year.
In the meantime the Poehlmann Bros. Co.
will secure a suitable location elsewhere.
The office of The Florists' Exchange,
which is also in this building, will with-
out doubt, have to be changed a year
hence.

to dispose of to the retailers in his section
of the city.

Jas. McHutchison of McHutchison &
Co., New York, reached the city Monday,
where he will remain during the week, at-
tending the convention of the American
Association of Nurserymen. Jas. Karins,
representing Henry A. Dreer & Co., Phila-
delphia, Pa.; Jac. Smits, Naarden; and
John Radder, representing Blaauw &, Co.,
Boskoop, Holland, are among the early
convention arrivals.

The Grossberg-Tyler-Finermann Co.,
finding itself miancially embarrassed,
called a meeting of its creditors on Jxme
14. The acounts receivable of the com-
pany were shown as §1141.92 and the
inventory of merchandise as $1085, mak-
ing a total of $2226.92 in assets. The lia-
bilities were listed at $7000. It was ad-
vised by the examining committee that
they be given an opportunity to continue
in business and recommend some plan for
the liquidation of the business that would
be satisfactory to the creditors.

The Ove Gnatt Co., La Porte, Ind.,
have at the Palmer House, an exhibit of
Danish Ceramic Art Pottery. When in
Denmark last Fall, Mr. Ove Gnatt was
so impressed with the beauty of this line
for the florists' trade, he at once secured
the American agency for the same. This
he proposes to sell to the florist trade
only. On no consideration will it be al-
lowed into department stores or other
channels of merchandise. It comes packed
in sets of 45 pieces; these he is offering
at $65 per set. It consists of jardinieres,
vases and fern dishes; all valuable ad-
juncts for the retail flower stores. Visitors
at the hotel who saw this line believe that
Mr. Gnatt has a winner in point of popu-
larity and usefulness for the trade. R. E.
Blackshaw is in charge of the display.

The Market

June 21. — Conditions in the market
have been all to the good during the week
just passed. Arrivals of most all kinds of
flowers are not much above what is need-
ed, and prices have risen since a week
ago for Roses and Carnations. Wedding
and commencement work is just now at
its height. All stores are more than busy
with wedding orders, of which many more
than usual are received.

American Beauty Roses are arriving in
sufficient quantities for a rather good
demand, but the price has given way a
little since a week ago. Other Roses have
cleaned up daily, and during the last two
days an advance in price has taken place
from the bottom up. The quality of all
Roses is holding up well, both in color
and size. Replanting and drying off has
started in the greenhouses in earnest, so
that an oversupply is not likely from now
on.

Carnations are ariving in smaller
quantity, but still plentiful enough for a
good demand. The quality is what might
be expected for this season of the year.
What are called good Carnations bring
3c., the very best 4c.; ordinary stock
makes from Ic. to 2c.

Peonies had a very short season; they
are about done now, so are Spanish Iris.
German Iris from the open are not seen
in the market and very few in the retail
stores. Delphinium is plentiful from out-
doors; it is freely used in the stores.
Prices vary much, not going over $1 per
bunch. Other items arriving from out-
doors are Campanulas, Lychnis, Heuchera,
Sweet Wiliam, Gaillardia, Coreopsis and
from the ponds quantities of Water Lilies.
To a small extent hardy Roses from the
open are also offered.

Calendulas, white and yellow Daisies,
Antirrhinums, Bachelor Buttons and Mig-
nonette are in usual supply, selling in the
usual way, sometimes a little higher or a
little lower.

Easter Lilies are few in nmnber and
not wanted. Callas are about done for.

Sweet Peas are fast disappearing; the
best bring sometimes 2c. if they are worth
it. Gladioli are coming to the front and
sell pretty well; some good Primulinua
lots are to be seen now and then.

Cattleyas, in fact all orchids, are hard
to find; whatever in this line is offered is
snapped up in a hurry at good figures.
More orchids could be used if to be had.

Lily of the Valley is used in large quan-
tities in all the stores. The supply is on
a level with the demand. Greens of all
sorts find a good demand at the usual
prices.
News Notes

The Florists Association of Boston
is planning an outing to Nahant, on June
28. This outing will take the place of the
regular monthly meeting, and the mem-
bers will leave Boston from Copley
Square by automobile, between 5 and
6 p.m., for the Relay House, Nahant,
where a fine dinner and additional attrac-
tions are figured on to make this "Gander
Party" an unqualified success.

W. R. Morris, the successful and well
known Carnation grower of Wellesley, is
building himself a fine, up-to-date resi-
dence. His stock in the field is looking
extra good and the flowers, which he is
still bringing to the market, are, as ever,
among the very best and keeping up their
reputation. Mr. Morris has been won-
derfully fortunate with his crops these
last few years, for the simple good reason
that with him business comes always first.

Cooperative Market, has returned from a

two weeks' recreation trip, which he spent
where fish are just aching to be yanked
ashore. Walter is a wise guy; ask him
where it is and he •will tell it with one
word — "yes."

Mrs. White, the "Pansy Girl" at Hough-
ton Gorney's, under the Park Street
Church, is going back to the farm again
for the Summer. A week from today it
will be "Goodbye old Boston," to where
the fields are green and where the chick-
ens and stately turkeys grow, down on the
Cape. A week ago Mrs. WTiite traveled
to Albany, N. Y., to superintend the floral
decorations for a prominent military
wedding, for which affair the flowers were
made up by her firm in Boston.

N. F. McCarty & Co. had the contract
for the decorations on Class Day at Har*
vard University, Tuesday, June 21. This
was a big affair and A. J. McNamara was
kept busy with his assistants for five days
before the event in arranging the thou-
sands of yards of laurel festoonings, etc.

Thomas F. Galvin, Inc., have decided
to change the location of their Back Bay
store to 549 Boylston st., where the firm
will occupy the first two floors by Sept. 1.

The change has been contemplated for
some time for two good reasons. First,
because the building where the store is
located at present is to be renovated and
changed over for another purpose, and sec-
ond, because during the last 20 years,
since which time Galvin's Back Bay store
has been a landmark on upper Boylston
St., the complexion of the district and
neighborhood have changed from a resi-
dential environment to one in which au-
tomobile salesrooms predominate. The
new store, facing Copley Square, will be
situated in the most fashionable neighbor-
hood, surrounded on each side by Bos-
ton's most famous hotels and institutions.

Parsons, Wadleigh & Crowley, attorneys
for N. F. McCarthy & Co^, called a meet-
ing of creditors of the latter firm, at 18
Tremont st., on Thursday, June 16, at
which meeting a number of the interested
parties were present. The object of the
meeting was to make the creditors of
N. F. McCarthy & Co. acquainted with the
affairs of the firm and to consider ways
and means of continuing the business to
the best interests of all concerned. The
books showed an overweighing balance of
assets and a healthy complexion of busi-
ness affairs, but a want of fluid capital

There is Any Quantity of

GOOD ROSES
available at this time. When you need good Pink Roses,
buy RUSSELL. When you buy this variety, you get the
size, color, keeping and shipping quality and there is no
other Rose that will meet all of these requirements at this
time of the year. The price is reasonable.

EASTER LILIES
This is one of the most satisfactory items during the
Summer. The quality now is just as good as at any other
time of the year. You should carry Lilies in stock, and
recommend them to your customers.

GLADIOLUS
are more plentiful, and we hope to have an ample supply
from now on,

made the meeting necessary to guard
against unfavorable contingencies. The
temper of the parties concerned was
wholly in favor of Mr. McCarthy, and a
committee of five creditors was appointed
to look into matters and report on Thurs-
day, June 23, at the offices of the attor-
neys, at 2. .'50 p.m., when final arrange-
ments are e.'ipected to be made.

Later de-ails regarding N. F. Mc-
Carthy, who conducts nurseries and
greenhouses at Montrose and maintains
general offices and salesrooms at 112 Arch
St., a statement of assets and liabilities
was submitted which disclosed that Mr.
McCarthy's financial trouble was lack of
working capital and that he was absolutely
solvent if the business was allowed to
proceed. The creditors appointed a com-
mittee consisdng of William H. Elliot,

Thomas Roland, William Hannan, J. M.
Cohen and Clarence Blakely, with instruc-
tions to investigate assets and liabilities
generally and to report at adjourned meet-
ing to be held Thursday, June 23. Par-
sons, Eadleigh and Crowley, counsellors
at law, are the Boston attorneys for Mr.
McCarthy. The present plan is that the
business be continued; that all bills con-
tracted from June 1 are to be considered
as current bills, while those prior to June
1 are to come under special arrangement
between the creditors and Mr. McCarthy,

Newport^ R. I.

In the Superior Court here last week,
before Judge Brown, the case of V. A.
Vanicek of the Rhode Island Nurseries on
book account was heard.

The amount sued for was $759.94; the
total bill for labor and trees furnished
was $1259.94, the sum of $500 having al-
ready been paid.

The group of trees, some of them quite
heavy and requiring four horses in their
moving, was admitted by all to be a fine
screen and effective in every way. The
defendant's head gardener, Wm. Edwards,
was present right along while the work
was in progress.

After a two days' trial the jury found
for the plaintiff in the sum of $1000 with
sis per cent interest from date of writ.

At the funeral services of Frederick
Lothrop Ames, which took place from his
country estate. North Easton, Mass., June
23, the casket was draped with a cover of
orchids and Lily of the Valley. A special
automobile carried many floral tributes
from Newport, among which were a cas-
ket spray of Lily of the Valley, Colum-
bia Roses and orchids, a casket spray of
American Beauty Roses, two large sprays
of pink Roses. The floral decorations
were under tbe care of Leikens.

Worcester, Mass.

Worcester County is suffering from a
very severe drought; no beneficial rains
for 24 days and a very persistant north-
west wind that sapped the moisture out
of everything, has made the conditions
decidedly serious. According to the Farm
Bureau, unless we have copious rains very
soon, the hay crop will be ruined. On top
of this, we had severe frosts last week
that blackened crops on the lowlands mak-
ing new plantings necessary.

The first June exhibition of the Horti-
cultural Society brought out a nice dis-
play and was well patronized. Although
the" date was too late for Peonies, many
fine exhibitions were staged. The gar-
den cut flowers were especially attractive
and the hardy Tea Roses were fine. Iris-
thorpe, Allen Jenkins, gardener, staged a
vase of Peony Venus which was exceed-
ingly good. Business keeps up remarkably
well ; several funerals of prominent
people kept us comfortably busy and
added to the June wedding work, made
a fairly prosperous week. WoRCO.

The Market

There is a fair amount of business
for this time of the year and it is gen-
erally conceded by the trade to be better
than it was this time a year ago. While
the market does not clear up daily, the
general average amount of business is
considered very good.

Roses are selling up well in the better
grades; shorts are carrying over and
prices are holding even. Gladioli are in-
creasing daily, with the first of the out-
door varieties to add to the line of indoor
stock; Carnations are going from bad to
worse. There are some choice Sweet
Peas from outdoors. Rambler sprays are
in demand for wedding decorations; Cat-
tleyas continue to sell up close with a
mediiun supply. Prices remain unchanged.
Valley sells up close, but there is an in-
creasing supply of Easter Lilies and an
active call. Some few early Asters are to
be had. The supply of the miscellaneous
outdoor flowers continues large.

There is a good supply of all greens.

Acciu-dingly Mr. Ilitz supplied ilie prizes, and the
press eoiumeiits in Nurth .MadiS4iii and surrounding
cities were simply marvelous. Hundreds of school
eliililren participaied and the posters were put up for
dispbiy in downtown seclions of Madison. Tlie awards
were ronsideri'd most seriously, and the pleasure
given both Mr. Ilitz and all participants was of tlie
greatest. Mr. Ilitz came to Indianapiilis for the
panicubir purpose of making a display of his iiosters
at Hie .lime meeting of the State Florists Association
of Indi.'iiia. and two committees were appointed to
Judge them, headed by A. F. J. Baur and Irwin Ber-

ners again rei'eived an award at Indianapolis, as the
State Florists Associatiim of Indiana was so impressed
with this idea that they immediately put forward
suitable prizes to award the youngsters. The asso-
ciation is now considering the advisability of putting
on a ciuitest all over the State for the benefit of "Say
it with Flowers" and the Florists Telegraph Delivery,
in which all the high schools will participate and re-
ceive local prizes. These same prize winners w-ill
then be forwarded to the State annual meeting for
another contest. As Mr. Hitz stated, there can be
no better method of advertising and no more enjoyable
one. and undoubtedly no more practical one. Why
not have poster contests like this all over the country ?

Buds and Blossoms

By LESTER G. HERBERT

Use your show window to display fresh flowers,
potted plants, and rich, luxuriant greenery. Do not
make the mistake of letting the window glass get
soiled, or allowing the flowers
and green leaves to get dusty
or yellowed. Keep everything
fresh and at its best.
» * *

If you are showing some
particularly beautiful plant or
flower, attach a card plainly
written, telling its name and
perhaps a single fact or two
about it. Tou will be surprised
how this simple expedient will
focus interest and increase the
attracting power of that win-
dow.

* * *

Occasionally make a direct
appeal to the small buyer of
flowers, for all who love flow-
ers cannot buy expensive bou-
quets. Besides, many a person
enjoys wearing a single Rose
or taking home a bunch of
Violets. So feature these small
sale flowers which will attract
the nimble sixpences and edu-
cate the people to come into
your establishment, to feel at
home there, and to get into the
habit of admiring, having and
giving flowers. Help people to
get the haMt.

In a certain town where
there are a great many wom-
en's clubs, it is customary once
a year for some one organiza-
tion to celebrate Presidents'
Day. That is. this club acts
as the hostess to the presi-
dents of all the other clubs,
and these presidents are the
guests of honor of the occa-
sion. It is always a social
event of note.

One progressive florist keeps
track of Presidents' Day and

-V wide awake florist has worked up a very nice
branch of business and given himself some splendid
advertising by this means : Sufficiently in advance of
each month, he plants bulbs, seeds, or cuttings, so
that he has on band an assortment of very delight-
ful blossoms and potted plants. The.se he aims to
var.i- from month to month, and he calls them his
birthday flowers.

Then he advertises this service — that he will sell
for a modest sum. and deliver a blossoming plant
m- bulb upon order, to any person having a birthday
that month. In fact, he advertises that he will sell
these plants to anybody, but if they are sent as a
birthday gift a 2'i per cent reduction is offered. The
next month another plant or assortment is featured,
and the Birthday Service has become very popular :
many people are learning to remember their friends
in this way. and are finding how agreeable, thought-
ful and reasonable this florist is.

He estimates that he has won many good, permanent
customers through the establishment of this depart-
ment. He holds rigidly to the 25 per cent reduction
only when the plant is used as a recognition of some
person's natal day, but he always takes the customer's
word for it.

* * *

Oue florist focused attention on growing things by
contests of various kinds, staging these in different
ways. For example, he put half a dozen rare, un-
named flowers in his wmdow. AH were at liberty to
ccane in and get a contest slip prepared lor the pur-
po.se. This slip was to be filled out with the names
!<*' the lilossoms or plants shown, and signed by the
contestant. Those guessing every one right received
an interesting souvenir in the form of a small, ster-

.\ wide awake florist contracted with the proprie-
tors of a couple of tea rooms and a leading hotel, to
furnish the table vases In the dining room with fresh
flowers, either through the week or on Sunday, ac-
cording to arrangement. This made an outlet for many
flowers which would otherwise have wasted their
fragrance on the desert air.

Flowers and perfumes are closely akiu. for the syn-
thetic products of the chemical laboratory do not' as
yet equal Nature's distillations. Florists rarely handle
side lines, although many floral departments "are con-
ducted in connection with drug stores, confectionery
establishments and even department stores. Where
such is the case, it is not illogical that a certain per-
fume be featured as the by-product of popular blos-
soms.

For example, one store conducted its floral section
under the name of the Rose Shop, and the Rose Shop
was flanked at one side with a perfume and toilet
water booth, which featured Rose odors of rare ex-
quisiteuess. The flowers pulled for the perfume and
the perfume pulled for the flowers. Many a box of
fragrant beauties carried a beautiful bottle of per-
fume in oue corner, thus making two sales where only
one grew before.

Many people look upon flowers as a luxury, and yet
if I recall rightly it was Mahomet who said something
to the etCect that if he had but a single dime, he would
buy a Narcissus to feed his soul, rather than a loaf of
bre-nl.

We are inclined to be amused by the tale of the
woman who had scrubbed for a living, and who fell
heir to a thousand dollars, which she promptly spent
for a sealskin coat, and yet
who knows how much the
beauty and warmth and lux-
uriance of that garment
meant to that starved mind
and life!

God must have meant that
we were all to love flowers
and enjoy them or He would
not have colored them so mar-
velously and perfumed them so
exquisitely. Why should we
not have and share with oth-
ers, some of the things of life
which make for refinement
and inspiration and faith and
hope?

The Key to the Merchan-
dizing Situation

"The man who supplies the
ultimate consumer is gener-
ally the key to the merchan-
dising situation." The fore-
going taken from the publish-
er's page of Class, a trade
paper covering trade papers
and published for the infor-
mation of the advertisers aud
the advertising agent, permits
an elaboration of the obliga-
tions of the retailer to the en-
tire industry. One particu-
lar obligation which might be
dwelt on is that of creating
more flower buyers among the
middle class of earners — a
field of opportunity, by vir-
tue of numbers , second to
none. This class is at home
fifty weeks in the year aud
possesses, in good measure,
the qualities needed to appre-
ciate the finer things in life.

It would seem that there

are many retailers, not confined to any
one section, who are not particularly
anxious to enlarge their business, appar-
ently for the reason that they have
enough trade to furnish a more or less
satisfactory Jiving. These men, therefore,
are not spreading the gospel of flowers to
the extent that they should and so, as
"keys to the merchandising situation,"
they are failing in their part. This atti-
tude also constitutes a direct invitation
to new competitors, possibly with a loca-
tion next door or near enough to call for
a greater effort to hold present trade,
which greater effort might better have
been used for the building up of a larger
business before the competitor appeared
on the scene.

July

4th and Other Independence
Days

An Open Field for tlie Retailer

Did it ever occur to you that July has
a good claim to the title of the "Month
of Independence?" Kunning through a
list of holidays observed in different
countries during that period it would cer-
tainly appear so. Starting with our own
great day of celebration on the fourth,
we find Uruguay recognizing the same
date as ''Democracy Day."

Next we come to July 9 which, in the
Argentine Republic, is celebrated as the
date of the "Proclamation of National In-
dependence." Next July 14 is a day of
days for all Frenchmen, whether at home
or in any French possession, because it
marks the anniversary of the fall of the
Bastile and the culmination of the revolu-
tion that undertook to tear down the dis-
solute monarchy that preceded it. Like-
wise this same day in Brazil is observed
as "Liberty Day," and in Uruguay as
"Humanity Day," which in a way sug-
gests liberty and independence, too.
Again, on the 18th, Uruguay proclaims its
"Constitution Day," after which, on the
20th, Colombia comes into line with an
"Independence Day" of its own.

In Belgium and the Belgian Congo the
next day, July 21, marks the "Anniver-
sary of National Independence," while
Turkey, which, perhaps, we don't think
of as particularly representative of liberal
ideas, takes the 23d as an oportunity

' upon which to celebrate its "Proclamation
I of the Constitution." Then we jump to
j the last three days of the month which
make up one grand and glorious occasion
' in Peru in the form of the "National Hqli-
j day Cormnemorating Independence." Quite
' a record for a single 31-day period, isn't
. it?

I Aside from its general interest, how-
ever, this large number of liberty holi-
days seems to us to have a real siguifiance
as a source of possible opportunities for
the florist. Here's the thought: Do you
make any attempt to capitalize the in-
terest and patriotism of foreigners who
may chance to be located in your com-
munity on those national feast daj'S of
their fatherlands?

You can well imagine what it would
mean to you or any other loyal American
citizen to be visiting in a foreign land on
July 4th. Wouldn't you be glad and

Uruguay, of Argentina or Brazil, or any
other nation mentioned in the above list?
And, more than that, awaken his interest
in the opportunity by reminding him of
the holiday and making suggestions as to
how he can observe it — with flowers.

How are you going to reach such tran-
sient visitors? you ask. Well, one way is
through newspaper advertisements, es-
specially foreign language publications
that are likely to be read by people of or
from the countries or country involved.
There ia a surprisingly large number of
such papers published in this country,
some of them with ■ equally surprisingly
large circulations. "Ayer's Manual of
Periodicals" will help you locate them, or
any local directory or telephone book or
public library will serve, and the adver-
tising manager will be more than glad to
assist you in working up an effective ad
and getting it translated idiomatically.

Sometimes a hint to a friendly reporter
will result in a little advance news para-
graph about the impending foreign holi-
day which will catch the eye of other
readers and greatly strengthen an adver-
tisement.

You can also seek out moving picture
theatres in the foreign sections of your
city and get them to show slides calling
attention to the day and its meaning. In
fact, in the larger cities, whenever a par-
ticularly large and important nation is
concerned, it would pay to get in touch
with the local consul, explain your plans
to him and secure his assistance in bring-
ing them to the attention of his country-
men.

There ia nothing un-American in this.
Most of us consider it no less a duty than
a privilege to pay tribute to our Allies
by saluting their flags, rendering homage
to their visiting notables and standing at
attention when their national anthems are
played on formal occasions. Why not ex-
tend this policy to include the paying of
such tribute by means of the wearing or
giving of flowers in any practicable way,
and also to include all friendly nations as
well as the larger ones with which we are
most closely associated? There is in this
thought the true spirit of international
harmony and mutual interest of which the
idea of the League of Nations is another
espression. It is a big thought, but who
shall say that the florist industry ia not
big enough and broad enough to make the
most of It? E.L. D. S.

Folders for Florists Use

More and more florists are realizing the
value of folders for distribution through
the mails.

Weber's, Fairmont and Clarksburg, W.
Va., favor us with a particularly dainty
folder which eloquently breathes the mes-
sage of flowera. The coloring of thia
folder and also the small blotter is par-
ticularly good.

carried. One wonders, however, what
method of packing is used; it would be
of little avail if in order to show the
flowers, special means were not provided
to hold made up pieces and ordinary loose
flowers in position.

PERTH AMBOT, N. J.

The funeral of the nine brave firemen
who lost their lives in the performance
of their duty in a flre last week brought
a call for some 400 floral offerings, large
and small, from the various organizations
to which the flremen belonged and from
friends and relatives. Some of the lead-
ing florists here were unable to take any
more orders. The Perth Amboy Rose
Shop, which had the bulk of the orders,
supplied every customer and was there-
fore obliged to work all night to fill same.
On Saturday morning last no more flowers
were to be had in Perth Amboy, stock be-
ing entirely depleted owing to the great
demands made upon it for the floral offer-
ings. 0. W.

JERSEY CITY, N. J,

The Blossom Florist, a chain store con-
cern, organized by F. E,. Verona (former-
ly with Bloomingdale Bros., Frederick
Loeser & Co. and Abraham & Strauss)
and Timothy J. Hughes (a well known
eastern capitalist, recently connected with
Butler Bros., the large wholesale general
merchandise concern) , ias opened its flrst
store at 280 Fairmont ave., meeting with
great success.

Callas Bros, were entrusted with the
floral work in connection with the recent
Souder-Dickson wedding. The bride car-
ried a shower of white orchids and Lily
of _ the Valley; the maid of honor and
bridesmaids carried bouquets of old fash-
ioned flowers. The church decorations
were elaborate and artistic, a tall arch
being erected over the center aisle at the
chancel entrance, covered with green Smi-
lax and a profusion of white flowers.
Flowers were massed about the altar and
also tied in bunches at the pews reserved
for the families and reception guests. The
work was planned and personally super-
vised by Wm. J. Callas, who was ably as-
sisted by Sam Thornton, a popular young
florist, formerly of Paterson, and now
manager of the Sip ave. store.

LANCASTER, PA.

Retail trade continues about normal,
with quite a few June weddings, most of
which are very modest in their use of
flowers. Occasionally there is one who
comes back to the old style and has elabo-
rate house and church decorations. Such
an one was recently celebrated in York,
with Mr. Shaeffer of that city handling
the house decorations, and H. A. Schroyer
of this city the bouquets for the bridal
party. Miss Carrie Steckman taking these
over and jjersonally supervising this end
of the affair.

Another wedding of interest to Lan-
caster florists was that of the daughter of
Frank L. Kohr, who formerly had green-
houses a little west of Lancaster, and here
again the floral decorations were a fea-
ture.

Outdoor flowers are in abundance, both
in the stores and on the markets, and of
such superb quality that it is a pleasure
for the retailer to make up the popular
bunch or box of Spring flowers.

Cut flower porch decorations are not
nearly so numerous as they should be, and
if I were a retailer every possible form
of publicity and advertising would be di-
rected along these lines for the Summer
season. Albert M. Here.
