GERANIUMS

You may call them our Hobby, our Specialty,
our Leader, or whatever you like. We have on hand
an immense stock ready for immediate shipment
from 3-in. pots at $3.00 per 100 in the best assortment of
standard sorts in the country, or we will book your
order for your next season's supply at $18.50 per
1000 from 2-in. pots; rather better than bothering
about carrying your stock and propagating them
yourself, don't you think?

NOVELTIES: For $5.00 we will send one each
of 50 sorts our selection of 1910 novelties including
the best from Bruants, Lemoines and Boucharlots,
the acknowledged European leader among geranium
originators.

We always have on hand a stock of Coleus, Al-
ternantheras, Aehryanthes, Heliotrope, etc., at $2.00
per 100 for 2-in. and $3.00 for 3-in.

We are booking orders for CANNAS and DAHLIA ROOTS for next season

One Great Aim of
Horticulture

Is to help buyers to buy, and sellers
to sell. This it does through its ad-
vertising pages, but in addition, dur-
ing the last few months we have pas-
sed along to firms who advertise in
our columns: 25 inquiries for green-
house building material, 28 for boilers
and heating apparatus, 22 for pipe and
steam fitting, 31 for bulbs, 16 for rose
plants, 7 for bedding plants, 31 for
vegetable plants and seeds, 5 for paint
and putty, 9 for pumps, 6 for wood
preservatives, 26 for fertilizer, 19 for
insecticides, 23 for paper boxes, 8 for
engines, etc., etc.

These inquiries were referred to
our advertisers where possible — firms
who have shown their confidence in
HORTICULTURE by giving us their
patronage.

The advertising department of
HORTICULTURE gives personal at-
tention to such inquiries, aiding buy-
ers and sellers in getting together, not
considering its full duty done, as soon
as the ad. is printed — as will be seen
by the above partial list.

Are you getting this service? If not
a regular ad. in HORTICULTURE will
entitle you to it.

Better try this out at once. You
lose ' business by delay. Ask our
Advertising Department about it.

Seasonable Notes of Culture on
Florists' Stock

CYCLAMEN

If you have not your cyclamens in frames you should
lose no time in placing them there, as' there can be no
better place for these plants until the end of Septem-
ber. You can fix your sashes on a temporary frame-
work about six inches above their right elevation. Avoid
placing any heavy shade over the plants for it only
causes them to make a soft and spindly growth. It is
better to provide lath shading which can be placed over
the sashes and allows an indirect solar influence which
will keep them in good stocky state. Spray about once
a week with some form of nicotine extract to keep down
thrips which I think is better than fumigating. Give a
light overhead spraying two or three times a day during
these hot days. If possible have the soil sterilized for
the last shifts for it will help to keep down attacks of
the mite. Be careful that they do not become pot-
bound. Also give very careful watering and occasional
spreading out as the plants begin to crowd one another.

CARE OF ORCHIDS

Such species of cattleyas as labiata, Trianae, Schrcederae
and many others will now be in active growth and
should have a generous supply of water at the roots.
Give them a light syringing overhead once or twice a
day. While the warm nights continue leave a few inches
of air on the top ventilators to prevent too much mois-
ture in the atmosphere for the majority of cattleyas do
not like too much humidity. As new growth begins to
mature the quantity of water should be decreased grad-
ually until only enough is given to keep the plants from
shriveling. Syringing will in most cases almost ac-
complish this. Give Ccelogyne cristata a cool moist
and lightly-shaded position. This is an air-loving sub-
ject so admit plenty of fresh air at all times now. They
will need plenty of water at the roots during their
growth. It will be found very beneficial to apply ma-
nure water in a weak form at first once a week so as to
have good well-matured bulbs, which will mean a good
lot of flowers next winter. In sunny weather syringe at
least once a day for insect pests. Look over the plants
often for scale. Never forget that cleanliness is one of
the great points in the growing of orchids.

FERNS FOR DISHES

Where you have a lot of young ferns of good size in
flats you should pot them up into 2-inch pots, using any
good ordinary potting soil to which leaf mold and sand
has been added to make it porous. Place them where
a couple of inches of sand or coal ashes can be spread
on a bench, so that they will not be continually drying
out. Plunge the pots up to the rims and shade the house,
but not too heavily as fern- require as much light as
can be given to them, exclusive of the scorching sun's
rays. Maintaining a free circulation of air, keeping
the atmosphere as cool and as moist as possible as they
like the air heavily charged with moisture. Examine
the plants morning and afternoon, for if allowed to

suffer from drought at the roots great injury will be
inflicted on your young stock. By giving them a little
care during the summer months you will have stock far
enough advanced by October and up to the last of
December to meet the demand after the first real
good killing frost which makes flowers scarce < mi side.
A greal variety of ferns can be used for small ferneries.
A f<-\\ good ones are Aspidium tsussimense, Davallia
stricta, Xephrodium hirtipes, Microlepia hispida, Onv-
chium japonicum, Pteris cretica Mayii, P. eretica albo-
lineata, 1'. Ouvardi, P. serrulata cristata, Cyrtomium
falcatuni.

GERANIUMS FOR WINTER FLOWERING

Give these plants shifts until you have them in their
flowering sizes, either 5 or 6-inch pots. Pinch the tops
out so they will grow into compact shape. A good
compost is three parts of good loam and one part of
well-decayed manure, Grow them along in a light
house, picking off all the flower trusses during the sum-
mer. Ventilation is one of the most important points in
growing geraniums successfully and all the air possible
should be allowed until the cool weather arrives when
they should have a night, temperature of about 55
degrees to make them flower freely.

MIGNONETTE

If this crop is wanted for early winter the seed should
be sown now where it is expected to bloom. The beds
should be from 8 to 10 inches deep. Mignonette likes
a rich compost — say one load of cow manure to three of
sod that was taken from a pasture lot last fall and
heaped up. After the benches have been filled and the
top surface made fine, draw crosswise and also length-
wise of the beds straight lines twelve inches apart each
way, then sow the seeds where the lines cross, placing
four or six seeds at each junction. After the seed is
sown and covered water with a fine rose to settle the
soil around the seeds. When the plants are up and
showing their second pair of leaves, thin to the strong-
est plant. It is very important to keep them tied up and
there are several ways of doing this. All the air should
be left on the house until you think there is danger of
frost. When the cool weather comes run your temper-
ature anywhere from 45 to 48 degrees at night. Keep a
watch out for the cabbage worm and when first seen
dust with Slug Shot, for if not kept in check they will
soon eat up your plants.

NEPHROLEPIS

These ferns should not be too heavily shaded; give
only just enough to break the direct rays of the sun
when it is powerful for it is of great importance that
they have light in the fullest measure if you want stock
of good substance. Plants will now advance very rapidly,
and in all weathers these ferns must have every encour-
agement to promote a good stocky growth, by giving lib-
eral supplies of water at the roots, and by keeping mois-
ture in the air by clamping down the paths and under
the benches frequently. Give proper ventilation to
secure a nice gentle circulation of fresh air through your
house. Where these ferns were planted in the spring
for stock they should now be making an abundance of
nice runners that can be potted up and grown on.

Mr. Farrell's next notes will be on the following: Asparagus
Sprengeri; Annuals for Late Cutting; Compost for Bulbs; Care of
Young Roses; Freesias; Lilies for Fall.

conclude to send your dollar for a year's subscription to

Some of the large dealers in forcing
Watch out bulbs and similar material notice a lack

of enthusiasm of late among the trade
buyers and this they interpret as an indication that the
high pressure methods of recent years, intensified by
the increase of competition, have forced the smaller
growers into an uncomfortable position, occasioning
much disquietude as to the outlook. Unquestionably
the small grower is bound to suffer in a disproportion-
ate degree from the reduced wholesale values and more
exacting market for his product which is the inevitable
result of the advent of extensive operators and large
capital into the business which he has heretofore been
able to control to his own advantage. Overproduction,
with unexpected fluctuations and congestion at certain
times, is sure to derange and unbalance whatever sem-
blance of system ami stability has existed before and
conditions mori or ss chaotic are hound to ensure.
Xo one will question the assertion that the time has
come for closer figuring in all lines of commercial flor-
iculture and that the admonition to all to "watch out"'
is timely.

A correspondent has sent in for our

An ethical perusal a clipping from a Baltimore paper

question wherein it is stated that certain Holland

firms have sent in bids in competition
with American dealers, for supplying about a quarter
million of bulbs for tlie parks. Our friend submits
that such competition hurts tbe florists and seedsmen of
America and is "an imposition on American trade that
should not be tolerated." The principle involved is
one that has been a subject of debate as long as we
can remember. Tt might be suggested as a remedy
against foreign bidding on public orders that the laws
should specify that the buying be done at home, but
this restriction would lie easily overcome and its pur-
pose defeated b] transacting the business through Cus-
tom House brokers or direct agents for the foreign
bouses. If any of our readers have views on this sub-
jec1 which they would like to publicbj express we shall
be glad to give space in our reading columns to such.
Just where to draw the line as to who is properly en-
titled to wholesale rates and what protection should he
given by the produo r to the intermediary dealer is a
question of vital importance to all departments of the
trade.

HORTICULTURE

A HIVE OF INDUSTRY.

There are a few horticultural estab-
lishments where there seems to be no
dull season and "slack times" is some-
thins unknown. The A. N. Pierson
place at Cromwell, Conn., is om- of
them, as anybody who has taken a
look over that vast hive of industry
will agree.

Stopping off at Cromwell for a little
while one afternoon recently we found
the indefatigable Wallace R. and his
army of employees hustling "like all
possessed" as usual. It takes a big
output of stock and big income of
money to keep such an establishment
going" and neither of these requisites
is lacking. New equipment and con-
struction are constantly going on. The
latest notable addition is two 100 H.
P. boilers and a 70 x 382 ft. King
house. This house has been planted
with 12,300 Dark Pink Killarney roses,
which shows what Mr. Pierson thinks
of that promising newcomer. Among
the other recently introduced roses
held in high favor, Prince de Bulgarie
stands well, and it requires but a
look at its splendid style and vigor
in the benches or at a jar of the cut
blooms with their crisp, dainty pink
buds and rich dark foliage to con-
vince one that in this rose we have a
stayer with a big future.

In yellows, Mrs. Aaron Ward is a
veritable queen, and young stock has
had a remarkable sale, but Lady Hil-
lingdon stands out as an even greater
acquisition. Another debutante is
Budlong's Double White Killarney,
which forms a big full bud and is
pronounced by Mr. Pierson to be "the
greatest rose ever introduced into this
country" and bound to take the place
so long monopolized by Kaiserin as a
white rose for summer cutting. Red
Killarney, fully described in former
note, will be given dissemination dur-
ing the coming year. The demand
for young stock this season has been
unprecedented, the call for grafted

being about two to one as compared
with own-root stock. The output thus
far has been close to a million and
a quarter here.

Chrysanthemum rooted cuttings are
also experiencing a very active sea-
son. Three hundred thousand are in
the cutting beds now, with orders
on file for the greater part of them
as soon as they are sufficiently rooted

to send out. The output so far this
year is, about half a million. Among
the most sensational varieties is
Chadwick Supreme, a beautiful dark
pink sport which originated here and
of which 16,000 are to be planted;
Comer's triplets, Patty, pink, Merry-
Jane, yellow, and Dolly Dimple, light
yellow, are highly prized by Mr. Pier-
son.

Syracuse, N. Y. — This city is ex-
periencing the worst scourge of cater-
pillars and borers known for many
years. Tn years past people were per-
mitted to plant as many shade trees
as they chose, and the result is that
in many streets they have grown to-
gether, and it is only rarely one can find
a really perfect tree. The consequence
of close planting affords the caterpil-
lars an undisputed field to work over.
If they keep up their work of devasta-
ting the trees as they have the past
two weeks there will be very little
foliage left in a week. Quite a num-
ber of the people are placing sticky
fly paper around the trunk of the trees
in the hope of preventing the pests
from crawling up, but with poor suc-
cess. Why is it that some will pay
fifty or one hundred dollars to have
a little job done to their automobile,
yet begrudge paying an experienced
man a fair wage to do garden work?

H. T. ROSE KRONPRINZESSIN.
CECILIE.

One more in the series of illustra-
tions of sterling new roses appears
this week on our cover page. For
this, as for the preceding pictures,
we are indebted to H. A. Dreer, River-
ton, N. J. This rose is Queen of the
garden at this season of the year and
festivals and exhibitions in her honor
have been held all over the northern
hemisphere during the past few
weeks. In the H. T. section are cen-
tered the hopes of rose lovers in lati-
tudes too severe for the Teas and
each year sees the advent of some-
thing loudly proclaimed. The variety
Kronprinzessin Cecilie was intro-
duced by Schmidt in 1908 and has
done well in the trial, grounds at va-
rious places. The color is silvery
pink and it is a very free bloomer.
Its form and vigor are well shown in
the picture.

A GENEROUS BEQUEST.
The will of the late Dr. C. G. Weld,
a well-known patron of horticulture,
and frequent exhibitor at the shows
of the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society has been filed, and among the
bequests are his fine estates in Brook-

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS
AND ORNAMENTAL HOR-
TICULTURISTS.

To Members:
Secretary Dorner is sending to each
Society a message call-
ing for just a little effort on the part
of each individual member, and it is
Stly hoped that every member
will respond promptly. It is requested
that each member send in one new
name for membership in the Society.
There is not one member that cannot
easily do so, and this action, by in-
creasing the membership, would mean
a great deal for the welfare of the So-
ciety and the trade in general. As
the secretary points out in his mes-
sage, the florists are greatly indebted
to the Society for its excellent work in
the past, and a large membership roll
will most certainly give it strength
when there are wrongs, local or na-
tional, to be righted in the future.

The Society needs the support of all
the trade, and each member should see
that every commercial establishment
in his locality is represented in this
national organization. Open the cam-
paign now by securing one new mem-
ber. Take advantage of the local club
meetings and summer outings to talk
it up with those in attendance, point-
ing out that each name added to the
list increases the usefulness of the
Societv and makes it stronger when it
has a case to present before the courts,
the legislatures, the express companies,
the interstate commerce commission,
tin railroads, or any other body which
has power to extend or withhold privi-
leges.

In other lines of business grievances
are quickly removed by close organ-
ization of the interests affected, and
our difficulties in making new laws
and amending old ones would be
greatly reduced if we could present a
more united front and batter down
the opposition. Farmers and others
get what they want in this way, and
there is no reason why we should not
get prompt consideration, if each mem-
ber of the organization does his duty
now. The work is light: secure one
new name now. and this strengthened
membership will just double the power
of the organization in acquiring rights
and privileges too long denied us.

I say again, we need added force,
the strength of numbers. Business
conditions grow more strenuous every
year, and we need the assistance of
everyone in every effort for the gen-
eral good. The Society exists for the
good of all. and every man in the
trade should help.

FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHINGTON.
Arrangements for the annual outing
and basket picnic of the Florists' Club
of Washington are now practically
completed. The outing will be held at
Huntsville, Md., where exclusive use
of the grounds has been arranged for
on July 12. The Baltimore & Annap-
olis Electric Railroad has provided
three special trains for the accommo-
dation of the club members and their
families. Most of the florists will close
their places of business at noon on
July 12, so that everyone may enjoy
the outing. Members of the national
society will be present, including
Philip Breitmeyer, former mayor of
Detroit. Plans have been made for the
holding of all sorts of sports and
games. There will be a ball game be-
tween the greenhouse men and the re-
tailers. A tug of war is also scheduled.
W. R. Smith, of the Botanic Garden,
will give a talk on trees, illustrating
his subject with specimens growing on
the picnic grounds. The sale of tickets
is in the hands of a committee com-
posed of John Robertson, Jr.. W. W.
Kimmill, Otto Bauer, Edward Schmid.
and W. A. Bolinger. The regular
monthly meeting of the Florists' Club
will be held July 6 at 1214 F street.
At this meeting final action will be
taken on all matters pertaining to the
outing. The subject of attending the
annual meeting of the S. A. F. & O. H.
at Baltimore in August will also be
discussed. On this occasion the place
of meeting, Gude's floral store, will be
converted into a grotto and rathskel-
lar and the club will be treated to a
crab feast by Edward Schmid.

DETROIT FLORIST CLUB.
This club had the rare opportunity
at its last meeting to listen to H. B.
Dorner of Urbana, 111., who, in his
scholarly way, explained the minutest
detail of the work being done by the
experiment station in Urbana for the
benefit of the florist. Prof. Dorner
described the slow but successful ef-
forts to obtain money from the Illi-
nois legislature to establish this ex-
periment station. As Prof. Dorner
promised to write his talk down for
the benefit of the trade at large it
would be superfluous to say much
about it now. Still so much may be
said that success was due in a great
part to the activity of the Illinois flor-
ists.

It was a discussion of vital impor-
tance and it is most desirable that
such florists in whose state the legis-
lature meets next fall should at once
take steps to bring before their legis-
lature the necessity for establishing
experiment stations and schools such
as the Illinois florists and the farmers
throughout the country enjoy.

NATIONAL SWEET PEA SOCIETY
OF AMERICA.
Today, June 29. as we go to press,
the Sweet Pea Society is busy with its
annual meeting and exhibition at
Philadelphia. Full details will be
given in our n«xt week's issue. Presi-
dent W. Altee Burpee, governed by the
original proposition to hold the meet-
ing on the 23d, had engaged passage
on the Olympic, sailing for Europe on
Wednesday, 2Sth. and consequently is
unable to be present on this occasion,
[n lieu of the usual address, therefore,
he left in charge of Secretary Bunyard
a letter, of which the following is a
copy:

Harry A. Bunyard, Esq., Secretary.

Dear Mr. Bunyard: — Will you kindly ox-
press to our fellow members of the Na-
tional Sweet Pea Society of America my
sincere regrets that instead of being pres.
ent to deliver "The President's Address."
for which I am scheduled on June 29th. I
am compelled to offer "an apology and ex-
planation."

The "apology" will surely be accepted
"hen you offer the explanation that it was
only after our March meeting in Boston,
when the date of the Philadelphia Exhihi-
Hon was fixed for June 23rd and 24th. that
I engaged passage for myself. Mrs. Burpee
and sons on the "Olympic" June 28th, so
that we could attend the exhibition of the
National Sweet Pea Society of England,
which we were compelled to miss last year.
Kindly explain also how deeply I re-
gretted the necessity for deciding with you
and other fellow members, after conference
two weeks ago with members of The Penn-
sylvania Horticultural Society, that, owing
to the lateness of the season, it would be
necessary to postpone our exhibition at
least a week.

While "on the briny deep" I shall be
with you all in spirit and shall look for-
ward eagerly to receiving July 4th, upon
arrival at Southampton, a cablegram tell-
ing of the success of this third annual ex-
hibition. I feel quite sure that under your
able management — and you are well entitled
to he called "The Father of the National
Sweet Pea Society" — assisted by our vice-
president and other officers, together with
such willing helpers as Messrs. Craig, Pen-
nock, Post. Watson, Michell. Earl and Kerr,
the exhibition will be a decided success

Such work as you and your co-laborers
have done so effectively at the two previous
exhibitions of our infant society is of last-
ing value in bringing to the notice of the
trade and of growers generally, the im-
portance of the sweet pea as deservedly the
most popular of all flowers grown from
seed.

But should I continue in this strain I
might tire you with expressions of my love
for the sweet pea, even more than if I
could have been able to deliver in person
"President Burpee's Address." for which
your schedule has me booked.

Only two words more in closing. At
our meetings we have never discussed poli-
tics. Your present president, therefore,
does not know the political opinions of his
fellow members. Whatever their politics
may be. however. I think that most of our
members will agree that the ex-President
of the T'nited States acted wisely in urging
as his successor President Taft. who cer-
tainly, despite al! criticisms, will make
-r ■■ <1 as an honest, intelligent executive.

Now would it be asking too much for me
to suggest that upon reading this letter i if
you think it worth reading) that some
member put in nomination the name of
William Sim of Oliftondale. Massachusetts,
and that another member should then
move that the nominations for president
be closed. Mr. Sim needs no introduction :
as vice-president he has been most earnest
and effective in his work for the advance-

nt of the interests of our Societv. and

1 feel sure that this suggestion of your
retiring president will meet with the hearty
approval of all.

Any members who may remain over Fri-
day are cordially invited to visit Fordhook
up '. the trains leaving Reading Terminal
at lirj and 2 02 Friday. Will you kindly
: ounce that railway tickets and full in-
formation will be gladly furnished by Mr.
Earl or Mr. Kerr.
With renewed assurances of my deep re-

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF
CHICAGO.

The executive committee of the
Horticultural Society of Chicago has
voted not to hold the usual fall flower
show in the Coliseum building this
year, but to hold a big exhibition next
March in its stead. A dahlia and

astir show will be held at the Art In-
stitute in September, the exact date
to be determined by the seasonable
conditions. A premium schedule for
this exhibition is now being printed
and will be issued shortly.

A premium schedule for the spring
show next March is being prepared
by a special committee. It will offer
prizes as large as usually given in
the fall show at Chicago. It is hoped
in the spring exhibition to obtain a
more varied display, and to arouse re-
newed public interest in the flower
show. J. H. BURDETT,

Secretary.

LOUISVILLE WANTS THE S. A. F.
IN 1912.
Fifty florists from Louisville and
New Albany met last night at a din-
ner at the Louisville Hotel as guests
of the Louisville Convention and Pub-
licity League for the purpose of ar-
ranging plans to secure for Louisville
the 1912 convention of the National
Society of Florists. — Louisville (Ky.)
Courier Jowniul.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

The regular meeting of the Chicago
Florists' Club will take place at the
Union Restaurant July 6. Walter S.
McGee of the Wizard Brand Fertilizer
Co. will read a paper on fertilizers.

A committee, consisting of J. C.
Quinette, P. A. Chopin and Paul Abele
has been appointed to look out for the
interest of the florists when the so-
called "fly ordinance" comes up for
passage.

The Syracuse Rose Society held their
first show on the 15th and 16th. It
was not a success in any way. The
exhibits were not as large as expected,
and the public did not patronize it as
some anticipated.

Arrangements for an outing, which
is an annual affair with the members
of the New Orleans Horticultural So-
ciety, have been started. A commit-
tee of three, consisting of Messrs.
Baker, Panter and Eble, was appointed
to see to the arrangements. No defi-
nite date has been set for the outing,
but it is proposed to have it about the
middle of July.

A HIGH HONOR AWARDED.
The H. H. Hunnewell triennial pre-
mium for the most tastily laid out and
planted estate, in a competition ex-
tending over three years, has been
awarded to Col. Harry E. Converse of
"The Moorings," at Marion, Mass. The
garden committee of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, which has the
duty of the bestowal of this honor,
visited "The Moorings" on Monday,
June 26, and were escorted over its
various attractions by Col. Converse
and his superintendent, D. F. Roy, to
whose skill as a gardener, industry
and judgment, the credit is due for the
splendid development of this 300 acre
estate. Great advancement has been
made during the past twelve months,
of which we shall have more to say
later on.

Richard Metcalf.
Richard Metcalf, florist, died at his
home, loll Jefferson avenue, Brooklyn,
N. Y., June 18. He was born in Ripon,
England, in 1841, coming to this coun-
try while a young man. In recent

A telegram has been received an-
nouncing the death on Tuesday night,

Mahon, rose grower, of Seabright, N.
J. Details are lacking, but we take op-
portunity to express our deep sym-

rare and lovable personality.

NEWS NOTES.

Rockton, III. — Joseph H. Farnsworth
has purchased the greenhouses of
Roscoe Gammon.

Lima, O. — Adolph Fruck will now
do business under the name of Adolph
Fruck & Son, as he has taken his son
into partnership.

Gouverneur, N. Y. — The Brainard
greenhouses have been leased by
John T. Humphrey of Rome, N. Y.,
and he will take possession about
Oct. 1.

Omaha, Neb. — C. C. Colie has been
appointed manager for the Stark

West Grove, Pa. — American Pillar
roses are now in full bloom at The
Conard & Jones Company nursery.
One lot was planted last June, an-
other on July 12th, from 2%-inch pots,
both a mass of bloom. Anyone seeing
these plants can easily understand
why this variety created such a sensa-
tion at the Temple Show, London, last
year. It would be interesting for rose
lovers to note and see the difference
between this and other varieties.
Philadelphia is also showing up grand.
The recent rains have brought out the
color wonderfully.

During Recess

Opening at Waretown.

Once more the date for the time-
honored ceremony of opening for the
season the hospitable clubhouse at
Waretown on Barnegat Bay came
around; once more generous Commo-
dore John Westcott got into the har-
ness as host — the occupation he likes
best in all the world; and once more,
on Friday, June 23, did the fortunate
recipients of an invitation make their
way to the spot where good cheer
abounds and dull care is forgotten.
From Washington came Wm. R. Smith,
John Clark and W. F. Gude; from Sum-
mit. N. J., J. N. May; from Boston. J.
K. M. I . Farquhar and Wm. J. Stew-
art; from Philadelphia, John Burton,
Geo. C. Watsou, S. S. Pennock, Robert
Craig, Robt-Kift, David Rust, George
Craig, W. B. Westcott. Geo. Anderson,
D. Donoghue, Dr. P. Lane and R. Mc-
Kenna.

The visitors brought with them a
set of Balzac — 16 volumes — for the li-
brary, and presentation of same to Mr.
Westcott was eloquently done by Mr.
Craig.

Blue fish were beginning to "run"
in the bay and some nice catches for
so early in the season were made.

All Waretown events are good, but
this was "the best ever." May the
genial proprietor live many years to
enjoy the pleasures of disseminating
sunshire among his brother men.

St. Louis Picnic.

The St. Louis florists' picnic will be
held July 20th at Ramona Park. This
was decided by the committee that
met last week. The wholesalers have
agreed as usual to close up at noon
on that day. A great many retailers
will also close for half a day. A fine
band has been engaged for the occa-
sion. Everything will be free, the
florist club paying all the expenses.

The committees are composed as
follows: Reception — W. J. Pilcher, J.
J. Beneke and P. J. Fillmore. Games—
Geo. Schriefer, Al. Ginns, F. Aloes,
Otto Bouring, Paddy Patton, Frank
Windier, all employes of wholesale
houses.

Baseball contests between the
Wholesalers and Retailers will again
be one of the features.

The Wholesale Quartette, composed
of employes of the W. C. Smith's
wholesale house invited trade paper
correspondents to one of their re-
hearsals last week. Mr. Patton's song,
"Watch Us Grow," was like a barrel
of lard — it was well rendered; so
were all the other songs they sang.
They will surprise some of the know-
ing ones at the florists' picnic.

Chicago Bowlers.

Members of the Chicago Summer
Bowling League are keeping up their
interest and Mrs. McKellar and Mrs.

horses for war — real use,
he don't select them from
beauty shows nor accord-

such as street-car horses,
all he can get, and such
animals that have made
good by steady honest
work — the animal that

the world.

brand known in flowering

PERENNIAL FLOWERS

Every florist should have a fairly representable col-
lection of "Perennial Flowers" in his establishment
be it either for the purpose of growing them for cut-
flowers or plant trade. Many of the best varieties
are readily grown from seed but in order to have
them fairly large in the spring they should be sown
in June.

We offer a very complete collection in our " Wholesale
Seed Catalogue. " Write for it to-day

The horse show of the South Side
Country Club last week, which is a
society event, called for the use of cat-
tleyas for corsages and table decora-
tions. There were a hundred dinner
parties given during the week.

Charlotte Megchelsen, Grand Blvd.
and 47th street, Chicago, has a fine
newr ice box and is refurnishing and
redecorating her store. The color
scheme of dull green and white will
prevail.

John Kruchten finds his work at his
greenhouse plant to be fully one
month ahead of the average year. He
makes a specialty of Killarney roses
and, despite the unusual weather, has
some of the best stock of that favorite
rose to be seen.

The Chicago Flower Growers' Asso-
ciation at a recent meeting decided
upon the location at 176 Michigan ave-
nue, mentioned in last issue. This
moves the wholesale market area an-
other half block east. The store is be-
ing put in shape and will be ready for
occupancy about the 15th of July. No
choice of manager has been made yet.

The J. C. Moninger Co. have just
completed their extensive catalogue,
upon which they have worked for two
years. It covers every want in green-
house construction, and its half tones
and coloring make it very attractive
as well as useful. Their boilers are
now made in Geneva, X. Y. The Mon-
inger Co. report an unusually busy
season.

Kroeschell Bros, have been given an
order for a duplicate to the No. 14
boiler they exhibitied at the National
Flower Show at Boston. The purchaser,
John Barr, of South Natick, Mass.,
has found it so satisfactory that he
will install a second one in his new
addition. The Kroeschell boilers are
taking long journeys this month, one
going to Vancouver, B. C, another
to Great Neck. L. I., for a private
place, and the third to Chas. Disler
at Irvington, N. J.

Personal.

J. A. McAdams of Fort Worth, Tex.,
is a Chicago visitor.

Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett are
spending a few days in Detroit this
week.

Harry Balsley of Detroit is calling
on friends here, on his way back from
the west.

Alex Newitt of St. Joseph. Mo., is
here to attend the wedding of his neice
at Joliet, 111.

Henry Kruchten will spend a month

in Colorado, making Denver his head-
quarters, but spending much time in
the mountains.

Alex. Newitt of the Stuppe Floral
Co., St. Louis, Mo., is calling on old
friends here. He was for several
years with the J. B. Deamud Co.

Harry Philpott and A. T. Pyfer are
planning to take their annual outing
together, immediately after the next
meeting of the Florists' Club, of
which they are officers.

Jack Byers of the Chicago Carnation
Co., left Monday for a cruise with his
motor boat, on the eastern shore of
Lake Michigan. He will visit the lake
shore towns and return in two weeks
ready for no end of hard work for the
busy firm he is with.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pasternick
have returned from their brief wed-
ding trip, and are receiving the con-
gratulations of their friends. Among
the wedding gifts were many tokens
of the regard in which the trade, both
wholesale and retail, hold the groom.

Adolph Poehlmann had a very nar-
row escape from a serious injury June
22d. As he was stepping into his sur-
rey at Plant "B," the horse started to
run, and with the lines dragging ran
to Plant "A," successfully making all
the turns, but striking a post in the
yard. Mr. Poehlmann was thrown vio-
lently to the ground, and suffered in-
ternal injury. His physician thinks
he will soon be about again.

Flower Market Reports.

Last week's business was
BOSTON excellent all through.

The first three days of
the present week were the same, but
at the close there is every evidence
that the tide is fast ebbing and the
June business, winding up the season
of 1910-1911 has now passed into his-
tory. There will be very little going
on for the next two or three weeks in
the flower trade. As to quality carna-
tions are fast petering out. Roses
are in better shape, particularly the
Carnots, which are selling at a higher
figure than any others excepting
Beauty. Lilies are a veritable drug.
Sweet peas are seen in all grades and
sell accordingly — from 25 cents up to
$1.00 a hundred, according to quality.
An abundance of everything is in
sight. No shortages.

The market took a de-
BUFFALO cided change for the bet-
ter last week, and there
was business for the trade in general,
and it was well divided up. There was
sufficient stock, but a good portion
could not be used, especially in the
carnation line, which were on the
sleepy side. Roses went well, particular-
1\ white, and at times not enough could
be had. Killarney and Richmond were
in good demand, also other roses, of
which there was ample supply. Beau-
ties were fine, and sold well, also sweet
peas, lily of the valley and other ma-
terial. Candidum lilies came in, and
there was a good clean up on these as
well as on Longifiorums and Japans.

A general shortage of
CHICAGO first-class stock is the

feature of the market as
June closes. Not too short but just
short enough, is the opinion of many
for, after several weeks of extreme
heat, trade has about reached the sum-
mer level and an abundance of stock
would mean unsold stock. The June
weddings have been as numerous as
formerly but an absence of large dec-
orations has been noticed. The pro-
hibition of the use of flowers in the
commencement exercises of the Chi-
cago public schools was accepted with
little grace again this year but no pub-
lic protest was made. The summer
roses, Kaiserin, Rhea Reid and My
Maryland, are supplanting the winter
ones though some excellent Killarneys
are still cut. American Beauty is as
much in demand locally as anything
and when cut just right is shipping
very satisfactorily. In fact this is the
point with shippers now, to have all
roses cut at just the right stage. Sweet
peas of all lengths except the very
long ones are still coming in plentiful-
ly and growers expect the supply to
last about another month. Carnations
are holding on well but quality is poor
compared with cold weather stock.
Excellent lily of the valley from the
local growers is selling well. Fewer
prairie flowers than usual are sold this

year. Plenty of ferns are in but smi-
lax and asparagus are scarce.

Very little change, If
CINCINNATI any, was noticed in

the market the past
week. Business continues fair, with
stock plentiful. Beauties are equal
to the demand, some fairly good
stock being offered considering the
season. Pink roses. which have
ruled short all during the month
of June. are again coming in
more plentifully. White roses are in
heavy crop, the better grades cleaning
up nicely, while the shorter grades

move more slowly. The supply of car-
nations is rapidly diminishing, and
those now coming in are as good as
could be expected at this date. Sweet
peas are showing the beneficial re-
sults of the recent showers, and are
improving in quality and quantity.
Shasta daisies were good property up
to the middle of the week, when the
demand fell off. Lilies are to be had
in quantity, and find a fair market.
Lily of the valley is plentiful. The
demand for smilax is gradually slow-
ing up, with the supply equal to mar-
ket requirements. Of Asparagus plum-
osus and Sprengeri there is more than
a sufficiency.

Flower Market Reports

(Continued from page ly)

Local market conditions
DETROIT are normal for summer,
as experienced every
year, but perhaps a little advanced
because of the extreme heat. Stock
coming in is less than two weeks pre-
vious, which condition is more pro-
nounced through the absence of
peonies. Roses from newly planted
stock arc being sent in in large quan-
tities, but being of poor keeping qual-
ity, a surplus of today does not pre-
vent a shortage of tomorrow. Sweet
peas average very good, most of them
being butterfly varieties which the re-
tail trade appreciates fully. The de-
mand for commencement bouquets and
wedding flowers has been sporadic,
but insistent. On such days it was
with great difficulty only that good
quality flowers could be obtained.

The retail florists are
NEW YORK experiencing the nor-
mal June demand but
the wholesale markets have difficulty
in supplying the material in satisfac-
tory quality. Roses run very poor as
a rule, the choice grades being prac-
tically extinct for the time being. Car-
nations are also very small and close
up by the time they reach the market.
A few very fine cattleyas are seen and
such things as longiflorum lilies and
lily of the valley are all right as to
quality. The number of longiflorum
giganteum sent to Smith by A. S.
Burns, Jr., for one month was 91,000
which is believed to be a new high
record for one establishment. Large
quantities of Crimson Rambler bloom
are being sent in and these together
with (Jouble deutzia are found very
useful in decorative work of any ex-
rent Spiraea Anthony Waterer, love-
ly as a garden subject, lacks in color
when brought indoors among bright
colored flowers and while quantities of
it are shipped to the wholesale mar-
kets, very little sale is found. Crim-
son Rambler sprays bring from 1 cent
lo 1% cents per spray.

There is very lit-
PHILADELPHIA tie change to re-
port in this mar-
ket since our last week's resume. It
is gradually getting down to the sum-
mer level. Another week probably
will inaugurate the regular summer
business. The trend was rather spas-
modic— fair in spots and then dull
again. American Beauty roses are
still fairly plentiful and selling right
well — all things considered. Melody is
still good and sells well— holding its
color and quality remarkably. The car-

nation market is fair, quality general-
ly not very good although there are a
few exceptionally fine lots to be seen.
Orchids shorter in supply and moving
a little better. Lily of the valley has
hardened up and the stock now offered
is up to regular standard. A nice im-
provement is also to be noted in the
water lily market. These are now in
good regular demand and command
fair prices with no surplus. They
may now be regarded as a staple ar-
ticle for a while. Sweet peas coming
in very good and moving off nicely in
large volume. Gardenias are not
plentiful but enough for the demand.
Shakespeare and America gladioli in
evidence and seem to move well. All
greens plentiful.

Trade has settled
WASHINGTON down to something

approaching sum-
mer dullness. Stock is plentiful and
is coming along in fair condition.
Prices are about normal. Sweet peas,
scarce and poor two weeks ago, are
now more plentiful and quite satisfac-
tory. There is little to relieve the gen-
eral dullness of the situation.

The flowers that are
ST. LOUIS now coming into this
market are not very
choice and show considerable suffer-
ing from the dry spell — especially the
outdoor stock. Roses of all kinds are
poor, still the choice bring a liberal
figure. Carnations are small and poor
also. Sweet peas are scarce and in-
ferior. The best stock coming in now
are the gladioli and lilies. These have
a large demand and sell clean daily,
gladioli bringing as high as $8.00 per
100 and best lilies, $12.50. Some extra
good asters are coming in which
bring from $3.00 to $5.00 per 100 and
clean up.

NEWS NOTES.

Duluth, Minn. — Eischen Brothers
are succeeded by the Duluth Floral
Co.

Boston, Mass. — The Boston Co-oper-
ative Flower Market and the Boston
Flower Exchange will close every Sat-
urday at 12 noon during July and
August.

Rochester, Ind. — Shelton, the flor-
ist, has leased the Dunn Greenhouses.
He will continue to grow stock at the
Dunn place, while the selling will be
done at the Shelton greenhouses.

Syracuse, N. Y. — The florists have
reaped the largest harvest this spring
they have ever had, all being practi-
cally cleaned out. Some have had to
take part of their stock plants to
fill imperative orders. There is no
question but that each year sees a
larger demand. All are anticipating a
heavy call for chrysanthemums this
fall, and are making preparations to
meet it. There has been a greatly in-
creased sale of flowers for graduation
exercises, many of the country high
schools sending in large orders for
good flowers.

Philadelphia, Pa. — The store furnish-
ings, etc., of Robert A. Stewart, florist,
212 South 13th street, were sold on
June 19th.

BUSINESS CHANCES

Here's a Mighty Fine Op
portunity for a good man
who knows the Nursery
Business, or a firm who
want a branch house.

I ,,wn one of the best greenhouse
and nursery plants in the country— 50,-
IKH) feet of glass is now in carnations
and 130 acres in general nursery stock.
1 am a banker, a mighty busy man,
and cannot give this enterprise the
attention it deserves. A reliable nur-
sery firm, or a competent man who pos-
sesses good business ability, will be
sold a half interest at a fair price and
on reasonable terms. It is desirable—
but not absolutely necessary— that such
a man should have a knowledge of
greenhouse management and a married
man is preferable. This locality is un-
excelled for growing many kinds of
nursery stock, and I believe it is an
opportunity for a nursery firm or a
capable man to establish a splendid
business. If you feel that you are the
tvpe of a partner I am looking for, and
can invest from .$15,000 to .$20,000 write
to me at once.

"Replying to your favor in regard to
Fungine we are pleased to say that we
have found it a line fungicide, especially
uu our Chrysanthemum cuttings, and all
cuttings generally. Also fine for mildew on
roses. It is the best fungicide we have
ever tried." _

Metairie Ridge Nursery Co.

Madison, N. J.. June 21, 1911.
"I have sprayed our Crimson Ramblers
with Fungine, and it proved a great suc-
cess. Not alone destroying the mildew,
but also taking the curl out of the leaves
caused bv the mildew. There is no remedy
that I know of that will restore the leaves
to their natural shape, only Fungine, and
Fungine alone."

CABBAGE KEPT FREE FROM WORMS.

DRAKES GARDEN.

East Brookfield, Mass., Jan. 14, 1905.

We have used Slug Shot and always found it

very useful. Our potato crop yielded 200 bushels

to the acre. Slug Shot for Cabbage Worms is the

best defense in the world.

Very truly, F. A. DRAKE.

Cabbage Worms.

The Cabbage Worm has spread wherever cab-
Butterfly and Larva. ha,ge is grown. Whether early cabbage or late

cabbage, in garden or field, it perforates the plant, and is of all worms one of the

most disgusting, to find hidden away in the folds of the leaf.

IF YOU WANT CABBAGE FREE FROM WORMS, USE HAMMOND'S SLUG SHOT. *

HOW to Destroy Cabbage Worms.— Slug Shot can be used lightly or heavily and the cabbage
suffers no harm. The cabbage forms its head by the interior growth ; it throws off its earlier and outside
leaves, and no dust can enfold within its head. Apply Slug Shot with a Duster (see illustration), sieve it
over the plants or full grown cabbages. The powder is very fine and goes a long way in field or garden.

account of the Increased circulation of the hot water circulation, and consequently
less piping is required, but il also seems to MAINTAIN A STEADIER and more
even temperature all over the houses where it is in use. For instance, the new

house I h.iv, just i pleted, 13 ft. wide by 265 ft. long, and piped according to

your instructions, is not varying more than two degrees all over the house at any
time and 1 consider that remarkable for so large a house. Another advantage is
that WHERE EOSES ARE GROWN, sulphur applied to the pipes for CHECKING

How U=Bar Curved Eave Houses Differ

The U-Bar construction is like a regular race horse stripped for the running. It is stripped of every
heavy roof support — and is just a light, cobweb like, galvanized steel frame of great strength that
makes the very lightest house possible— not only lightest, but every way durable.

If it has a U-Bar frame, it's a U-Bar house— no other Curved Eave Houses are. Send for our New
Catalog, and see for yourself.

Two New Hardy Cypripediums from Western China

increased by the
pecies from Western

Hardy cypripediums have been
addition of two noteworthy

China, as a result of the writ.']'- recent plant-collei ting
work in that country. One of these, C. tibeticum,

:v; il England in April 1905 and dowered the June

following in Messrs: Veitch's Coombe Wood Nurseries.

jn 1906 ii lowered again and was exhibited at the

Temple Slmw. May 29th., receiving a P. C. C. Vers

roots were introduced and the plant lias in con-

certain glacial torrents which are surcharged with
petrifying limestone. Nevertheless, having seen it
growing in a variety of soils, one would hesitate to say
that a calcareous soil was necessary. A cool situation
ami ] 1 1 1 • 1 1 > \ of Leafsoil would seem the essentials. 'Phis
plant in habit, vigor and general appearance closely
resembles our C. spectabile and where the latter
thrives C. luteum should succeed.

Cypripedium tibeticum, as known to the writer, is

sequence, never got into gardens generally. On the a dwarf-growing species, 8-20 cm. high, hut those from

Arnold Arboretum's second expedition jusl concluded the Chumbi Valley attain to the height of 35 cm. The

(the writer's fourth in all) a considerable number of flowers are solitary, very large, with sepals and lateral

roots of this C. tibeticum and an even larger quantity petals striped and reticulated with reddish-purple on

of a new and yellow flow-
ered species (C. luteum)
have been successfully in-
troduced to cultivation.
The roots were received at
the Arnold Arboretum,
Boston, on April 12th. last,
and a few plants were
potted and kept in a green-
house. On May 6th. C.
luteum opened its flowers
for the first time under
cultivation and the photo-
graph here reproduced was
taken. The flowers are
represented one-third natu-
ral size in the photograph
but the originals were only
about half their usual di-
mensions on account of
their being forced.

These roots were dug up
in October, 1910, trans-
ported some eighteen hun-
dred miles by porters, boat,
and steamer, and finally
shipped from Shanghai on
March 14th,1911. Although
the roots were a full six
months from the time of
collecting to that of plant-
ing they came through in
good shape and hundreds
are growing freely in the
Arboretum nurseries. This
augurs well for their vital-
ity and their acclimatization
should not be a difficult
matter. Their hardiness,

paler ground color; pouch
usually dark maroon-pur-
ple,, rarely paler. This
Thibetan Cypripedium was
originally discovered in the
Chumbi Valley in 1879,
and received the manuscript
name of "tibeticum" from
Sir George King. Subse-
quently, it was regarded as
a variety of the Siberian C.
macranthon until recog-
nized by Eolfe in 1892 as
distinct. The late Mon-
sieur Franchet named Pere
Delavay's specimens of this
plant C. macranthon, var.
eorragatum, and later, in
1894, raised it to specific
rank under the name of C.
eorragatum. The Siberian
C. macranthon is widely
spread and admittedly vari-
able but anyone who has
seen the two (C. tibeticum
and C. macranthon) grow-
ing wild or under cultiva-
tion would never regard
them as one and the same
species.

Cypripedium tibeticum is
widely spread along the
Chino-Thibetan borderland
and • on the Alpine moor-

of orange brown on its face.

Its habitat is the margins of thin woods and thick-

bogs. Around Sungpan, in the extreme north-west
corner of Szechuan, it is abundant in thin woods of
spruce and silver fir, growing near the margin of

The week just passed will go down into
The history as one of the most trving evet

torrid wave experienced by the horticulturist. All
records have been broken as to high tem-
peratures and the wave seems to have covered practically
the entire country east of the Eockies. In some sections
the conditions were modified somewhat by copious rains
previously which prepared the ground and growing
things for the ordeal. In others not even this link
adva i- enjoyi and everything is parched up

for want of rain. An excess of sunshine, with lack of
rain ami unprecedented torrid heat day after day has
de the life of many growers one of anxiety. Of
course a Erst-class product in flowers or anything else
n an impossibility under the circumstances.

Nothing of late has given us greater sat-
Disarming isfaction than the evident determination
the bully 0f t]ie pe0ple of the United States to get
at the facts in connection with the ex-
press monopolies and their relations with their side
partners, the railroads, in the transportation plundering
that has been going on tor so many years. The an-
nouncement of a proposed sweeping investigation by
'in [nterstate Commerce Commission is glorious news.
We have no doubt the facts when revealed will fully
justify the undertaking. It stands to the credit of the
s. A. F. that, as an organization, it was the first with
the courage to tackle the bullying giant and first to
take a fall out of him. Let us hope that the end of
the oppression is now near and that in consequence, a
new and better day is about to dawn in the industrial
world.

The outcome of the sweet pea meeting and
Excuses exhibition at Philadelphia has been a pro-
not valid H.nc cause for criticism and discussion
whenever the devotees of the popular flower
happen to congregate. Many local gardeners and also
many of those north and east have been excusing their
poor -bowing on account of the date. If that holds good
bow did Burpee do it in the latitude of Philadelphia
and how was it that the next positions of honor were
obtained by growers from Connecticut and Yew York?
For smile it was too early — for others, too late. But
really wdiere expert gardeners are concerned this hulla-
balloo about a date seems rather far-fetched. Given a
specified locality for a show the expert gardener has
di oionstrated time and again that he can so arrange
his methods as to exhibit at that point and that a week
or two makes little difference if he knows his business.
We are learning from season to season just as they did
in Great Britain on this point but over there they are
further advanced. Of course we shall get there in time,
lint there is no use making weak excuses and hiding our
heads in the sand. We can never make any progress
that way.

Many close observers, watching the

A "transition ]},„ . ,,f development and studying

period" ..,. .m{\ effect as it appears at the

present stage of the flower business

are of the opinion that we have entered upon a sort of

transition period, which', although its progress from

day t<> day mav not be apparent, will in time work

changes oi - i tl a character that the florist of a

few years" hence will have to deal with totally different
conditions from those that have appertained heretofore.
The new allignments as they gradually assert them-
selves in different influential centres seem so variant
that judgment as to how things will shape themselves
differs according to the viewpoint of the observer. The
future of the flower industry as read by a Chicago
operator would, for instance, be quite different from that
reasoned out by one whose point of observation is Bos-
ton, Yew York or Philadelphia, and the divergence of
forecast would be equally wide a- between growers and
dealers, and between those who specialize in plants or in
flowers. However, the readjustments are bound to come
and. we doubt not. they will all be in the direction of
better business methods and a more influential position
lor the florists' art among the leading commercial in-
dustries of our country.

Our notes this week on strawberries, from the pen
of G. II. Penson. are the last contribution from that
gentleman until fall as he is now about to start on a
well-earned vacation. In due time he will resume his
regular writing on ■'Fruits and Vegetables Under Glass''"
for Horticulture.

Seasonable Notes of Culture on
Floristst Stock

ANNUALS FOR LATE CUTTING

It is not too late to sow a number of annuals to meet
a deficiency that always is felt in the latter part of the
summer in the floral line. The most suitable varieties
that can be sown now are candytufts, clarkias, calendu-
las, coreopsis, annual larkspurs and lupines, sweet alys-
sums, mignonettes, scabiosas, nasturtiums, Gypsophila
elegans, and Shirley poppies. Sow them in some place
where it will be handy to use the hoe on them, as well
as to give them water whenever they may need it. These
will be found very serviceable stock at times for bou-
quets and floral pieces. They are bound to be gladly
welcomed in the autumn unless we get an unusually
early frost.

COMPOST FOE BULBS

A good many growers don't think of making any
special preparation in the way of soil for their bulbs.
The soil for bulbs should not be poor and worn out, but
should be good live rich soil that has been thoroughly
mixed some time before using. If you have plenty of
sod and cow manure that were heaped up last fall, use
it; you will have better flowers. In making a com-
post for all bulbs it is well to remember that it should
be sufficiently porous to allow the free passage of water
through it. If your soil is heavy you should conse-
quently add some sand to render it lighter. All ma-
nure should be used when in a somewhat dry state ; in
a fresh state it has often proved very destructive in
bulb growing. To have this compost in a fine mechan-
ical condition make it up now and turn it over three
or four times. Just before you use it see that it is not
too dry nor sufficiently wet to cling together.

CARE OF YOUNG ROSES

Houses that were planted early should now be in fine
growing condition. Keep the plants disbudded, but do
not disbud all your plants at once, and do not remove
all the buds from a plant at any one time, which has a
tendency to check growth too much. It is better to
look over your plants every other day. This object
should be to make your plants break so as to prevent
cropping, in a measure at least. Give a good syringing
every bright day and on hot days give one or two extra
syringings as it helps in keeping a cooler and moist air
which induces good growth and makes it an easy mat-
ter to keep clear of red spider. See that the watering
is carefully done; water around the plants first sep-
arately and then, if bed is dry, soak the whole, and con-
tinue to do this until the plants have filled the beds with
roots. Ventilate freely now so as to keep the atmos-
phere as bouyant and bracing as possible, for this will
be of material benefit in producing healthy plants.
Staking or tying is now in order to keep the plants in
an upright position. Keep the surface stirred at least
once a week. When fumigating for green fly wait until
the temperature drops below 72 degrees and see that
your beds are not very dry otherwise the plants will
scald.

FREESIAS

These bulbs are usually the first of the many flower-
ing bulbs to arrive. Where a batch is wanted for or
around Christmas plant as soon as you can get them
in flats or pans: They will do well in flats that con-
tain 4 or 5 inches of soil or in pans 10 or 13 inches in
diameter. See that each flat or pan has proper drain-

age. Use two-thirds well decayed fibrous loam and
about one-third welt dried cow manure and add a good
dash of sharp sand. It is right to plant the bulbs
about two inches apart each way to insure fine spikes.
When planting push the bulbs. down so that they are
just covered. After planting place on a cool shed floor,
or in a cold frame. Give them a good watering and if
in a frame keep them shaded nntil they start, when
they should have full sun. Keep them under frame
culture away into September.

Mr. Farrell's next notes will be on the following: Chrysan-
themums; Housing Carnations; Hollyhocks; Lorraine Begoni«s;
Oneidiums; Asparagus Sprengerl; Lilies for Fall; Perennial Lu-
pines and Larkspurs.

Varieties of Strawberries for
Forcing

Strawberries will be nearly out of season by the time
this is in print, but home grown strawberries on the
table the first week in March is a thing to think of now,
as layers for this purpose will soon need obtaining. With
so many varieties grown in the field today it is quite
a problem to select the most suitable for early forcing
work. The two conditions are so extreme, that plants
cannot be expected to thrive to perfection in both. On
the one hand we have the hot sun of July and August
when the plants are making up their crowns; on the
other, when we expect them "to come forth in all their
glory" with flowers and later fully developed fruit we
have the dullest months of the year, viz., from Decem-
ber on fire heat can be brought to bear on them, but
we all know one day's sunshine is worth four of fire
heat.

Some varieties answer well to artificial heat but refuse
to grow through the hot weather, consequently no satis-
factory crown can be grown in time. One very notice-
able variety in this respect is Eoyal Sovereign, an Eng-
lish variety which is a standard for forcing purposes over
there. This was tried here and just refused to grow,
although having the same treatment as other varieties.
Marshall is found to force earlier and better than any
other variety here. The plants "get away" good and
make up a good crown and answer well to forcing. The
batches started through December will not have very
long stalks to the fruit; in fact no variety does. The
flowers always carry an adequate supply of pollen.
Parker Earle is somewhat similar, carrying a darker
colored fruit but not such a reliable setter as Mar-
shall.

We force more of Marshall than any other variety,
but for later work we find President, Nick Ohmer and
Dornan good. They take a little longer to develop than
Marshall, but fine large berries can be grown on them.
President is a solid fruit and ships well. Nick Ohmer
and Dornan throw up a strong flower spike well over
the pot and carry berries of excellent shape and flavor.

Probably other readers could tell us of other varie-
ties which have been forced successfully.

NATIONAL SWEET PEA SOCIETY OF AMERICA

THE EXHIBITION.

As briefly announced in our issue
of last week, the third annual meeting
and exhibition of the National Sweet
Pea Society was held in Philadelphia
on June 2*9th and 30th, and proved
quite successful — although not so large
as expected. The season being unusu-
ally backward, many of the regular
exhibitors from northern and eastern
points were consequently unable to
show.

The star feature was undoubtedly
the magnificent Burpee display, which
occupied the entire northern side of
the main hall and took five men six
hours to stage. The flowers were in
splendid shape, the finest that we
have ever seen shown, and the finest
Burpee has done yet. The staging
was exceedingly effective — the large
handsome vases were arranged in
tiers one above the other, the back-
ground being Eulalia zebrina. At in-
tervals pyramids three and four feet
high were arranged to break the mo-
notony. There were over twenty thou-
sand blooms in this Burpee collection
— and over two hundred varieties.
The most conspicuous and sensational
variety was a new one named "Stir-
ling Stent" — a glowing orange — which
was imported from the Isle of Wight
last fall and flowered for the first
time here this year. Mr. Kerr assures
us that this one stands our hot sun
splendidly without burning and is "the
greatest thing yet" in its color and
type (Spencer). It was sent out in
England last year at two dollars for
six seeds and even at that extraordi-
nary price the supply was altogether
inadequate. Another extra fine one
was Vermilion Brilliant, for which
they were awarded the cup offered by
the North American. The exhibit as
a whole was given the premier award
of the show: — the Morse Challenge
Cup; for the best commercial collec-
tion. They also were awarded the
N. S. P. S. certificate of merit for the
following new seedlings, also a silver
medal for those new varieties in addi-
tion to the certificate:

Irish Belle: A rieh rosy mauve, with
a silverv suffusion. One of the most dis-
tinct sweet peas in existence. It is. liable
to supersede a whole lot of varieties here-
tofore leaders in its class and color.

Empress Eugenie: White, flaked pale
lavender. , , . ,

Fordhook Fairy: White, with a bluish
blush suffusion.

Margaret Atlee: A rich cream and bright
pinkish rose. One of the most beautiful
and distinct <>f all the new varieties.

The certificate and silver medal
also covered two seedlings as yet only
under number and both coming from
the amber and creamy pink varieties
— the class in line for perfect yellow
— for which many strenuous flights
have been made, but with only moder-
ate progress so far. W. Atlee Burpee
has a standing offer for his ambitious
scion, David Burpee, of three thousand
dollars for ten seeds of the first real
yellow sweet pea.

Henry A. Dreer put up a fine ex-
hibit of the newer and choicer varie-
ties of nymphaeas and other aquatics,
also a nice collection of Japanese
irises. Bertrand H. Farr, our distin-
guished peony specialist, was on deck
wit it a nice lot of Iris Kaempferi,
which formed the chief decoration in
front of the stage and were a center

of attraction. Joseph A. Manda and
Julius Roehrs Co. contributed interest-
ing collections of choice and season-
able orchids. John Lewis Childs had
a nice lot of Calla Elliotiana. Aphine
and Fungine were very much in evi-
dence and the genial M. C. Ebel had
his hands full explaining their merits.
Mrs. Geo. H. McFadden and Clement
B. Newbold were the stars in hardy
perennials.

SECRETARY BUNYARD'S REPORT.

When I helped to organize the Na-
tional Sweet Pea Society three years
ago, I stated at the first meeting that
it would and must be a success. Up
to this time it has not fulfilled my
highest expectations, but we have
made substantial progress, have learn-
ed something, and have placed the so-
ciety on a sound foundation. With the
experience that is passed, we hope to
still further the aims and objects of
the society.

Up to and including this exhibition,
we have held four shows, two in New
York, one in Boston in connection
with the S. A. F. National Flower
Show, 'and the Philadelphia exhibition.
All of these have been an expense to
the society, no charge for admission
being made. The only source of in-
come is from the active membership,
life members and the guarantors who
have generously come to the front
when needed. We have today 102
active members and 12 life members.
Personally, I know that good results
have accrued from our exhibitions.
Perhaps the most material results are
from the Boston Exhibition, the win-
ter-flowering sweet peas shown by
Wm. Sim of Cliftondale, Mass., excit-
ing more general interest and admira-
tion, so much that several florists in
New York are building houses especi-
ally to grow sweet peas this winter.

The great difficulty in holding ex-
hibitions in this country is its vast-
ness. What would be a good date In
Philadelphia is too early for New
York, and a good date for New York
is too early for New England, and
that applies also to the West, so that
the< exhibition really resolves itself
into a local show, which is a good rea-
son for changing the place of meeting
from year to year. Of course, this
year has been exceptional owing to
weather conditions. It has been sug-
gested by one of our exhibitors that
the date should be set at this meeting,
and should be either the last week in
June or the first week in July. This
would give growers the opportunity
to sow their seed to conform with
these dates. It is much easier for a
grower to hold off for a week than to
force his plants into bloom. I trust
that the Convention will seriously con-
sider this matter.

Our society has helped to popularize
the Spencer varieties among growers,
private and commercial, and while
some of the grandifloras are still popu-
lar, they are fast being displaced by
the Spencer and Unwin lypes.

At Boston there were exhibited by
Anton Zvolanek an entirely new race
of sweet peas, some equaling and

others exceeding the beauty aud type
of the Spencers. Mr. Zvolanek de-
serves great credit tor his work along
these lines, and I hope in the near
future this society will be able to ac-
cord medals to hybridizers and raisers
of new varieties. I understand that
The W. Atlee Burpee Co., at Fordhook
are also working along these lines,
and have some very promising seed-
lings. Credit is also due the gentle-
men who have helped to finance our
society, not only from its inception but
also at a time when guarantee funds
were needed for prizes, etc. I wish at
this time to thank the generous donors
of prizes, and your president, Mr. W.
Atlee Burpee, for time and moral sup-
port so generously given.

If I were asked to name the best

ing sweet peas today, I would give the
following list apart from the varieties

While experts may differ with me
on my selection, people will not go
far wrong in planting the above
varieties.

Cornell University, where under the
care of Prof. Craig and A. C. Beal, the
trials of our society had been held,
have just issued their bulletin No. 301
entitled "Sweet Pea Studies." These
have been mailed to all members,
through the courtesy of the University,
under a frank without cost to the so-
ciety. Thanks are due to the energy

and work of the above gentlemen. If
any member has not received a copy,
1 would ask them to kindly notify me
at once

Referring to the above selection of
sweet peas, 1 think we are somewhat
blessed in this country by not having
the interminable quantity of new
varieties placed on the market as they
have in England every year. Unless
it has real merit over existing varie-
ties, it has not a place in the American
seed catalgue or in the garden, neither
do we have the same confliction of
synonymous varieties under different
names. Our growers in California,
where SO per cent, of the sweet pea
seed of the world is grown, are ex-
ceptionally careful not only as to the
new varieties they disseminate, but
also as to rouging their stocks; neither
do they send out new varieties unless
to their knowledge they are thorough-
ly set. Among the most distinct
breaks of recent years are the varie-
ties Sterling Stent and Earl Spencer.
In reality these are Henry Eckford
Spencers, which I believe would he a
better name. Many colors we have
today cannot be bettered. Those the
hybridizers are aiming for are a real
buttercup yellow, the scarlet of the
geranium and the blue of the Delphin-
ium Belladonna. In the meantime, the
hybridizers should concentrate their
efforts upon improving the size and
substance of the flower, number of
flowers on a stem, length of the stem
and strength and habit of the plant,
an American breed of flowering sweet
peas that will stand our hot summers,
so that not only in name but in fact
they will become "the poor man's or-
chid" and rivaling that flower.

NOTES.

Thomas H. Logan was the genial
representative of our city on many
occasions during the week, and earned
the golden opinions of visitors.

According to Mr. Kerr, "A Mechan-
ical Rogue" is a foreign variety that
gets in through the fault of cleaning
machinery. This fact was strongly
shown in the tests of the variety Helen
Lewis.

Robert Craig made an excellent .ad-
dress of welcome, touched with feeling,
fervor, wit, learning and all that was
fitting for the occasion. He has lost
none of his old-time pre-eminence in
this line.

Adam Paterson came down from
Connecticut and showed a few of us a
thing or two. We had the pleasure
also of greeting a good old "nutmeg"
in the person of Walter Angus of
Chapinville.

Edwin Lonsdale's paper and greet-
ings (all the way from California)
were very much appreciated, and
showed that our good old horticultural
war horse has lost none of his fire or
form. He is in a class by himself.

The irrigation system at Burpee's
came in for much favorable comment.
It can be laked fore and aft by the
mere turn of a crank — as some of the
guests realized when David Rust
turned the crank on them unexpected-
ly.

The pink snapdragons at Fordhook
have the right shade — delicate, yet dis-
tinct— desirable for the cut flower

variety so much sought after, and it
is not to be wondered at that they
jealously guard each flower stalk, for
seeding purposes.

Among the finest of the fine new
varieties of sweet peas seen at the
Burpee trial grounds, note these:
Marchioness of Tweedale, G. C. Waud,
Martha Washington, Rose de Barry.
The latter is one of the finest shades,
and shows up wonderfully under arti-
ficial light.

The May-flowering varieties like
Burpee's Earliest White and Improved
Blanche Ferry were passe, and could
only be mentioned in a reminiscent
vein. They helped, however, to bring
up the fact of the coming winter
Spencers, and to bring on an animated
discussion on these.

H. A. Bunyard is the everlasting
finest secretary! His wit, bonhomie
and enthusiasm are inexhaustible and
perennial — and lucky is the society
that gets his wonderful personality
back of it. J. H. Pepper is the record-
ing secretary of the N. S. P. S., but Mr.
Bunyard has a pleasant variation on
that title. He calls him their "Record-
ing Angel."

J. K. M. L. Farquhar was an inter-
ested visitor at Riverton and Fordhook
this week, and was very well pleased
with the fine work the Dreers and Bur-
pees are doing in their respective
fields. He was particularly impressed
with the splendid executive abilities of
J. D. Eisele in the new developments
at Dreers'; and the sweet pea and
cabbage trials at Burpee's.

M. and Mme. Davy of Arpajon,
France, were the guests of Mr. and
Mrs. Earl on the 29th and 30th ult.,
at Fordhook. Some of the effervescent
Americans who helped "pick a bone"
must have been a sad puzzle to these
Gallic visitors. The writer hopes the
picture he arranged on the Burpee
lawn for them will prove a succcess.
Madame deserves the finest ever.

A. W. Strange ably represented
Joseph A. Manda of New Jersey, and
put up a very attractive orchid ex-
hibit. Unfortunately, one of the
best flowers of his collection was
stolen just before an interested ex-
hibitor arrived in his automobile espe-
cially to see- it, and a thousand dollar
order went a glimmering! The indi-
vidual who did this is known, and
sad to relate is said to represent a
well-known seed house in this city.

It is rumored that the next annual
meeting and exhibition of the Sweet
Pea Society will be held in Boston.
William Sim is the new president. The
axiom seems to be established — where
goes the presidency, there goes the
next meeting. It is a good idea in
many ways, and as a rule works out
first-rate. David Rust thinks a hard
and fast date for the next exhibition
ought to be set now, and let everybody
live up to it. The scheme of shifting
the date to suit local conditions at the
last minute has not proved good in
practice.

Some one was talking about the
difficulty of spelling various words.
One man said all spelling was fierce!
especially' "ei" and "ie." Among others
Mr. Pepper gave an amusing one about
Robert Cameron. It appears the lat-
ter's notes were written out by an

amanuensis, and instead of saying that
the display of My Maryland was very
fine the text said the display of "Mary's
Lambs" was great. David Rust's ex-
pert steno. "Lewis" was almost as
good, when he said in his report that
the Burpee exhibit was a magnificent
failure. When the explosion exploded
it was found that the right word was
"feature" — magnificent feature, instead
of magnificent failure!

A SWEET PEA AND WHAT IT WON.

THE FORDHOOK VISIT.

Among the visitors to the Bur-
pee Fordhook Farms trial grounds
on the 30th ulto, were noted
among many others, the follow-
ing eager students of the latest
and best; the oldest and worst; the
good and the bad in sweet peas and
other flowers and vegetables:

and was indefatigable in showing
everything of interest. George W. Kerr,
his right bower and sweet pea expert,
was an able second in this good work
and with note books in hand toiled
patiently under the hot sun fur four
hours and discoursed eloquently en the
tine points of their thousands of trials.
We must not forget to say a good
word for Earl, junior. Douglas is only
a boy yet; but he jumped right in and
a bevy of tin- lady visitors under
his charge.

After the inspection a stirring evenl
took place on the lawn in front of the
old homestead when Harry Turner
presented the North American cup won
with the new variety Vermilion Bril-
liant. Mr. Tinner's remarks were well

i hosen. eloquent, and to the point!
Then followed three cheers and a
tiger for Burpee — the High Priest of
the Sweet Pea in America! Mr. Earl
in accepting the trophy, gave every-
body credit but himself; but it was
easy to be seen that he was the proud-
est mortal in the world. All in all it
was a splendid afternoon well spent.
and everyone went away happy and
glad they had enjoyed the opportunity.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

ROSE SHOW AT NEWPORT.
The postponed rose show of the New-
port Horticultural Society was held
June 27th in Sanborn Hall which is of
much smaller dimensions than the
hall usually used, but proved to be
large enough, as unavoidable circum-
stances seemed to join in preventing
as large a display as usual. However
a few of the annual exhibitors exert-
ed themselves with the result that for
quality and arrangement the show
was a decided success. The principal
exhibitors were A. L. Dorward, gar-
dener for Mrs. T. J. Emery, C. M. Bug-
holt, for Miss Fanny Foster, Hugh
Williamson for W. W. Astor, Wm.
Grey for Mrs. W. B. Leeds, John A.
Forbes for August Belmont, J. Robert-
son for Mrs. T. O. Richardson, J. B.
Urquhart for R. L. Beechman and Paul
Valquardson for Mrs. W. G. Weld. Mr.
Dorward was the most extensive ex-
hibitor and carried off nearly all the
first honors in the fruit and vegetable
classes. The competition in roses was
rather keen, there being three or more
exhibits in nearly every class and
most important of them was the col-
lection of outdoor roses in which Mr.
Williamson took first place with about
fifty varieties of well selected flowers,
Mr. Robertson was second with fewer
varieties. Next in importance was the
large display with arrangement to
count and Mr. Urquhart was easily the
first of three with a superb table of
Hybrid Teas, Caroline Testout and
Kaiserin A Victoria predominating.
Mr. Urquhart also had it all his own
way in the vase class of Hybrid Teas
and also for vase of Frau K. Druschki.
In the various classes for twelve speci-
mens of Hybrid Perpetuals the honors
were divided between Bugholt. Robert-
son and Forbes. Mr. Bugholt having
the best of it. The varieties mostly
used for those classes were F. K.
Druschki for white, Clio and Marga-
ret Dickinson for blush white, Mrs.
John Laing, Mme. G. Luizet and Mrs.
S. Crawford for pink, and Ulrich Brun-
ner away in the lead as a red. In the
Hybrid Tea class the best noted were
Kaiserine A. Victoria, Caroline Test-
out, Etoile de France and the
Lyon Rose.

Sweet peas were probably never seen
here in better form. Three collections
of six vases each were staged and
Mr. Valquardson was awarded the
first prize. Mr. Grey was a close sec-
ond. Mr. Grey also showed the best
cauliflower seen here in years. The
usual fine display of table plants was
represented by one collection only but
they were considered worthy of the
first prize. J. Robertson was the ex-
hibitor. A new feature of the show
was table decorations by gardeners'
assistants and Hugh Meikle, at the H.
M. Brooks estate, was first with a very
neat arrangement of Mme. G. Luizet
roses. The second went to A. Sprin-
gett, assistant to Mr. Grey. Mr. Mei-
kle was also the winner in the class
for baskets of roses. The main fea-
ture of the show and the only one re-
ceiving a silver medal, the highest
award, was the new Begonia Alice

Manning, a pale yellow of graceful
drooping habit. This was exhibited by
Paul Valquardson. who also showed
other exceptionally well-grown tuber-
ous begonias and gloxinias for which
he was awarded a liberal gratuity.
The judges were Richard Gardner,
James McLeish, James J. Sullivan, C.
D. Stark. Paul Valquardson and Stew-
art Ritchie, and their decisions were
received with general satisfaction.
Sergeant-at-Arms Smith filled his
usual place assisting exhibitors and
maintained well his reputation as being
the best worker of the society.

turns.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF
NEW YORK.

A meeting and exhibition of the So-
ciety were held in the Museum Build-
ing New York Botanical Garden, on
July 1st, the exhibition continuing also
over Sunday. July is an uncertain
month for an exhibition, but the in-
terest manifested in this one by the
good showing of exhibits was very
gratifying. The next exhibition will
be held in the same place on August
26th and 27th, and will be devoted
mainly to gladioli. Schedules will be
ready early in August, and will be
sent on application to the secretary,
George V. Nash, New York Botanical
Garden, Bronx Park, New York City.

The following is a list of the awards
made on July 1st and 2nd:

ST. LOUIS FLORIST CLUB.

The event in the history of the
Florist Club took place on Wednesday
night when the members celebrated
its 25th anniversary at Pechmann Ho-
tel with a banquet; 100 invitations
had been issued and 63 accepted. A
large U-shaped table was spread in
the beautiful dining room of the ho-
tel. The room was beautifully decor-
ated with plants and cut flowers. Ex-
president Fred Ammann was se-
lected as toastmaster and he was
at his best. After a splendid dinner
he called upon Mr. Geo. Asmus, presi-
dent of the S. A. F. and O. H., who
responded to a toast, The S. A. F.
H. B. Dorner, secretary of the S. A. F.
responded to the toast, The S. A. F.
Relationship with Florists' Clubs. John
M. Connon responded for The Florist
Club of the Present Day. Luther Arm-
strong spoke on the early days of the
Florist Club and S. A. F. C. C. Sand-
ers responded for The Retail Florists'
Association. E. W. Guy, H. C. Irish
and S. Kehrmann also spoke. A band
of music was stationed behind a
group of palms, who played sweet
strains while the members feasted.

YONKERS HORTICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.

On Wednesday, June 14, a most suc-
cessful show was held in Hollywood
Inn. Roses were a great feature, first
prize for a collection going to E, A.
McAlpin; gardener J. Woodcock, who
staged over ninety varieties. Second
to Mrs. J. B. Trevor; gard. H. Nichols.
E. A. McAlpin was awarded three
firsts for roses, Mrs. Trevor one first
and one second, and Mrs. M. E. Sand,
gard. T. A. Lee, one second. Mrs.
Trevor showed sweet peas in great
shape, receiving firsts for every entry.
She also won first on vegetables, and
S. P. Lilienthol, supt. H. Scott, second.
Adolph Lewisohn, supt. J. Canning,
showed vegetables of a high standard.
S. P. Lilienthol was placed first for a
collection of hardy flowers.

The Yonkers Nursery Co. exhibited
hardy perennials, notably some fine
forms of Delphinium formosum, also
palms and standard bays. Julius
Roehrs Co. put up one of their dainty
orchid exhibits, fine forms of Cattleyas
predominating. F. Milliot exhibited
roses, gloxinias and Spanish iris, a
couple (if floral baskets serving as an
object lesson in the use of the latter
for decorative work. P. Macdonald
exhibited ferns and floral baskets, a
combination of peonies and gladioli
being especially pleasing. Attendance
was good, and the show has done

ROYAL INTERNATIONAL HORTI-
CULTURAL EXHIBITION,
LONDON, 1912.

In connection with the above ex-
hibition which will be held next May,
in the grounds of the Royal Hospital,
Chelsea, His Majesty King George V.
has intimated his intention to offer a
cup, valued at $525.00 to be awarded
for the best exhibit in the show. Many
other valuable cups, medals, and
awards offered by the Duke of Port-
land and others will be included in the
vast number of prizes contained in the
schedule. Altogether the exhibition
promises greatly to exceed in interest
and in spectacular effect any show
of the kind ever held in any part of
the world. There is reason to believe
that the exhibition will be opened by
the King and Queen on May 22, 1912.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

The St. Louis Florist Club will hold
its monthly meeting on Thursday af-
ternoon, July 13, at 2 o'clock. The
meeting is of importance as the an-
nual nomination of officers takes place
then.

Missouri State Vice-President F. H.
Weber, of the S. A. F. has sent in a
number of names for membership to
Secretary Dorner and says he expects
quite a few more before convention
time. The florists' picnic will give
him a good field to work on this
month.

The Pacific Coast Nurserymen con-
cluded their annual convention June
23, at San Jose, by the election of the
following officers: President, P. A.
Dix, Utah; vice-presidents, C. F. Lan-
sing, Oregon; C. H. Smith, Salt Lake
City; J. Vallance, San Francisco; Ray
Hartley, Idaho; A. W. McDonald,
Washington; Charles Trotter, British
Columbia, and D. J. Tighe, Montana;
secretary-treasurer, C. F. Tonneson,
Washington; executive committee, M.
D. Soles, Salt Lake City; A. McGill,
Oregon, and Leonard Coates, Morgan
Hill.

The annual rose show of the New
Bedford (Mass.) Horticultural Society
was held on June 22, and was the rich-
est display of roses ever seen there.
James Garthley of the H. H. Rogers
estate, M. H. Walsh of Woods Hole,
H. A. Jahn and others were among
the principal rose exhibitors. Peonies,
nympheas, delphiniums and Japan
irises were shown in abundance. A. J.
Fish was awarded a special silver
medal for rose Silver Moon. Honor-
able mention was accorded the same
exhibitor for new dahlia Giant Edel-

The new schedule of the National
Chrysanthemum Society of England
for 1911 is just to hand, containing ac-
counts for the past year, annual re-
port, rules, list of affiliated societies
and members, also prizes offered at
the Society's exhibitions. Among the
newly appointed honorary members
we notice the names of M. Viger,
President of the National Horticul-
tural Society of France; M. Albert
Truffaut, premier Vice-President of
the same society; and M. Maxime de

la Rocheterie, President of the French
Chrysanthemum Society. We notice
too, that M. Louis Gentil, editor of
our Belgian confrere, La Tribune Hor-
ticole, has been appointed a corre-
sponding member.

This Society has recently published
in a neat little pamphlet of 70 pages
the list of the papers read at the So-
ciety's recent conference. There is a
frontispiece of Sir Albert Rollit, Presi-
dent of the Society, and portraits of
Messrs. Norman Davis, W. Higgs, H.
J. Jones, R. F. Felton, Thos. Steven-
son.

Among the contents is the report
on the Paris Show, November, 1910,
by C. Harman Payne and awards of
the Floral Committee, 1910.

Altogether an interesting and useful
addition to chrysanthemum literature,
published by the National Chrysanthe-
mum Society and supplied gratis to
members.

A NOTABLE CAPE COD ESTATE.

The Committee on Gardens of the
Massachusetts. Horticultural Society
visited recently the interesting estate
of Mr. Wilton Lockwood at Orleans,
Mass., and were greatly surprised as
well as pleased to see what could be
done in the line of ornamental garden-
ing on Cape Cod, a section of the
state usually regarded as not respon-
sive to horticultural endeavor.

In a hollow among the hills, not far
back from the Atlantic shore, Mr.
Lockwood has established a garden
and produced results well worthy of
record. At the bottom of the valley
is a small artificial pond well stocked
with hardy Nymphaeas and other wa-
ter plants and bordered by a grassy
bank. Around this bank on level
ground is a collection of some 300
varieties of peonies, of the choicest
kinds and mostly in light colors. No-
table among them is the recently in-
troduced pure yellow peony, L'Esper-
ance.

The whole garden up to the base of
the surrounding hills is enclosed by a
pergola covered on sides and top with
numerous varieties of climbing and
rambler roses. Particularly note-
worthy among them was the Carmine
Pillar, which covered a stretch of trel-
lis twenty-five feet in width and pre-
sented a magnificent display. Jersey
Beauty with large single creamy-white
flowers was also conspicuous as well
as the Moschata and Dawson. There
was also a collection of Hybrid Teas
and Perpetuals and among the trees
and shrubs a row of the pyramidal
oak attracted attention.

All along the roadsides and in grass
land around the dwelling houses in
the town were masses of the delicious-
ly fragrant Pheasant's Eye Pink (Di-
anthus plumarius). It greatly inter-
ested the visitors to see how it has
escaped from old gardens on the
Cape; it is noticeably abundant in Or-
leans. There were also frequent
patches of the Scotch broom (Cytisus
scoparius) with its masses of golden
flowers and apparently perfectly
hardy here, though it is not so in the
vicinity of Boston.

BRITISH HORTICULTURE

A Visit to Holland.

The deputation who lately visited
the bulb farms in Holland from the
Gardeners' Company (a guild of the
city of London), were favorably im-
pressed with the places visited. In a
report published on their return it was
stated that the area of bulb cultivation
in Holland is about 11,000 acres. This
acreage is steadily increasing, with a
consequent continual rise in the value
of the land. The increased attention
paid to commercial bulb culture in
this country apparently has not made
a great difference to the Dutch in-
dustry. The growers have the ad-
vantage of much cheaper labor than is
the case in Britain. An opportunity
was afforded of studying the system
adopted in securing a rotation of
crops, also the work carried on by the
Netherland Government in dealing
with plant diseases and insect pests.
In all districts the visitors were very
warmly received, the fullest informa-
tion being readily afforded. It was
stated that the bulb industry is in a
very healthy condition. About 40 per
cent, of the bulbs are shipped to Brit-
ain, but the growers are always on the
alert for fresh outlets. The trade with
the United States and other countries
is gradually increasing.

The Coronation "Boom."

The Coronation festivities, now an
historic event of the past, proved a
profitable time for the nurserymen and
florists. Many of the clubs and man-
sions were beautified with charming
arrangements of flowers in window
boxes, red, white and blue being the
predominant tints. A deputation from
the Gardeners' Company waited on
Queen Mary at Buckingham Palace on
June 19th, and presented her majesty
with a choice bouquet of Lady Her-
mione carnations in a silver gilt bas-
ket. The deputation also presented
two unnamed carnations — one white
and the other pink. Permission was
granted for these novelties to be re-
spectively named King George and
Queen Mary. Carnations, both Mal-
maison and Perpetual-flowering, are
largely cultivated in the royal gardens
at Windsor. The Malmaisons include
Princess of Wales, Duchess of West-
minster, and Marmion. The compre-
hensive assortment of perpetual-flow-
ering varieties comprise the leading
American and British introductions.
These blooms are extensively employed
for decorative work in the royal pal-
aces. W. H. ADSETT.

OBITUARY.

A. B. Lewis.

A. B. Lewis, a prominent florist of
Pontiac, Mich., and a very faithful
member of the Detroit Florist Club,
died on Saturday, July 1, of peritoni-
tis, brought about by diseased kid-
neys and an abscess on the intestines.
Some time ago he was brought to the
sanitarium for treatment of nervous
troubles from which he had apparent-
ly recovered. Under the circum-
stances his sudden demise was a great
shock to his many friends in Detroit
and elsewhere, all of whom sympa-
thize sincerely with his family.

THE ROMANCE OF ORCHID
HUNTING.

Mr. P. Harvey Middleton has written
a very interesting article about Or-
chid Hunting in the "American Homes
and Gardens Magazine." The narra-
tive is very charming, hut he has been
so grossly misinformed that the whole
thing appears to be a "Fairy Tale."

It is a very peculiar circumstance
that very few people can write about
orchid collecting without letting their
wild imaginations work wonders,
which they spring on the man who
later takes those fibs as truths, and
adorns them with his florid language.
In the article in question there is a
reference to a typical example of the
kind of stuff that orchid hunters are
made of.

"He had been near death's door with the
fevers of the tropics and tropical swamps.
he has been robbed and deserted by his
guides and left alone to starve in Andean
mountain forests, and has been attacked,
tormented and all but eaten by hundreds
of big, black ants. He has had to fight
treacherous guides for his life, and has
had escapes too numerous to describe.

"It was while engaged in hunting Or-
chids in Colombia for the Philadelphia Or-
chid Queen that a revolution broke out.
Barrault was seized by Colombian soldiers
and forced to fight for them. As a French-
man he had seen military service, and
philosophically accepting his fate he led a
regiment of the Colombians to battle, and
was engaged in seven stiff fights. It was
on the last occasion, when the slaughter of
his men seemed imminent, that Barrault
seized a flag and rallying a handful of
soldiers about him charged straight at the
line of popping gnns ahead. The rest
of his regiment (who worshipped their
apparently invincible leader) followed ex-
citedly. On they rushed until almost band
to hand with the enemy, when suddenly
Barrault staggered and fell severely
wounded, and panic seized his followers,
who turned and fled.

"And so Barrault, the orchid-hunting
soldier, was thrown into prison by the
rebels and there left to get well as best
he could. Slowly, but surely, his fine con-
stitution pulled him around, and one night
about six months later he floored his
guard and got away. Two days and
nights brought him to the forest, where
he knew rare orchids were to be found.
Living on roots and herbs" that former ex-
perience had taught him were good for
food, Barrault gradually worked his way
through the forest until he came to a
lonely village off the track of the opposing
armies. Here he secured another set of
guides and started off on the trail of a
wonderful snow-white orchid which had
been graphically described to him by a
half naked Indian in the streets of Bogota
— 'An orchid so big,' said the native,
clasping hands and rounding arms, 'and
as white as snow on the mountain tops.
I will take you to it.'

"Barrault headed an expedition that
was fraught with many adventures, to the
mountain haunt of the marvellously big
flower. Hardly had he started before the
first of them occurred. Barrault's saddle-
girth broke as his mule was stepping
gingerly along a narrow mountain path
at the edge of a two-thousand foot preci-
pice, over which the orchid hunter
promptly disappeared. He was caught in
a tree growing out of the side one hun-
dred feet below, and after his guides,
peering cautiously down the chasm, had
recovered from their dismay, a rope was
lowered and he was hauled back to safety,
none the worse except for a few scratches.

"They arrived without further mishap
at their destination, two weeks later, and
were soon hard at work collecting the or-
chids, which grew in great profusion.
Then swamp fever struck the camp, and
one after another the guides fell ill, so
that Barrault had to give up his beloved
orchids and turn nurse. Then he, too
caught the fever, and was prostrated for
days. Some of the guides recovered be-
fore he did and taking advantage of his
helpless condition, stripped him of his
possessions, including the orchids, and left
him alone in the forest. In his weakened
state It took Barrault a week to work his
way out of the dense gloom of the forest,
guided to some extent by the almost over-
grown path his expedition had hacked
through the undergrowth. But at last he

CYPRIPEDIUM CAUDATUM.

We present herewith a picture of a
remarkable plant of Cypripedium cau-
datum as in flower now at the con-
servatories of Mr. Chas. J. Carpenter,
New Brunswick, N. J., where Aug.
Seeman is gardener. As this lovely
cypripedium is becoming practically

extinct in its native habitat, and is
consequently very scarce, it is very
pleasing to receive a photograph of
such a large specimen, showing in
every way the cultivator's skill. We
are indebted to Lager & Hurrell for
the use of the photograph.

readied a cluster of huts and rested for a
week. Then, with the determination of a
man who never knows when he is beaten,
he set to work organizing another expe-
dition. 'It was during this trip.' wrote
Barrault, 'that with two guides I stumbled
into an army of big, black ants. Before
we could escape they swarmed all over us
from head to foot. It was half a mile to
the nearest forest stream — a half mile
covered with dense undergrowth. Frantic-
ally we crawled our way to the water,
suffering agonies from the bites of the in-
furiated ants, and when, after what
seemed years, we reached the stream's
brink, we barely had strength left to fling
ourselves into the water.'

"Barrault's heart was still set on the
possession of that beautiful snow-white
flower. He had the remnant of Mrs. Wil-
son's gold in belts strapped to his body,
and the party had not proceeded far when
half a dozen of his redskin followers con-
spired to kill him in order to secure this
money, which he had been forced to show
them in order to obtain their services.
Just before sunrise on the following morn-
ing, he, who was always on the alert for
trouble, heard a slight noise outside his
tent. Peeping out he saw six of his
guides, armed with the long knives they
used in hewing their way through the
undergrowth, stealthily advancing on the
tent. Without waiting a moment Barrault
seized the sword he had used to such g>od
purpose in his fight with the rebels, and
sprang out. The Indians, although sur-
prised, relied on their superior numbers
and returned the orchid hunter's sword-
thrusts with murderous lunges of their
long knives. Barrault skillfully parried
their blows until he had backed up
against a huge tree, and then the real
fight began. With the dexterity he had
acquired in the French army he beat down
the guards ' of the Indians, severely
wounded three of them, and put the others
to flight."

In the New York Herald of August

16, 1910, the adventures of another
one of these collectors were recounted,
although they were not as marvelous
as those of Mr. Barrault. As a sam-
ple we copy the following:

"With a force of forty Indians to cut
a path through the dense forest, Mr. Ben-
son, with guides and pack mules, made his
way across Colombia from its capital,
Bogota, and returned only after many nar-
row escapes, to say nothing of tribulations
that came with the desertion of many of
his Indians and the loss of others through
death.

"Mr. Benson said that if it had been
possible to climb the trees to which the
orchids attached themselves, it would have
been easy to obtain them, but that climb-
ing was perilous owing to the presence of
small poisonous green snakes hidden in
the foliage.

"While making his way in a boat up the
Carae River, Mr. Benson said his craft was
overturned by an alligator, which with its
mate made off with one of the Indian
guides. Mr. Benson said that he saved the
life of one of his Indians who had been
bitten by a snake by keeping him walking
about for fourteen hours to dispel the
lethargy that followed the bite. At
another time, when his chief guide had
left to obtain more Indians, Mr. Benson
got lost in the forest and wandered about
for two days without food."

The writer does not believe that
either one of the collectors mentioned
told the stories as published. Some
reporter let his mind wander and
manufactured tales that went into
print. If they ever heard these stor-
ies and contradicted them is something
that I do not know of. If the wonder-
ful exploits would refer only to green
or blue snakes, tremendous precipices,

During Recess

New York Florists' Club Outing.

A beautiful clear day, refreshing
ocean breezes and a company of about
250 jovial picnickers all conspired to
make the eleventh annual outing of
the New York Florists' Club, June 28,
a pronounced success. To this an-
other factor may be added— the effi-
cient manner in which the manage-
ment of Witzel's Point Grove catered
to the inner man. A pleasant trip
down the harbor preceded the landing
at the picnic grove. At the table
when all were seated. President J. B.
Nugent made a few brief and perti-

Baseball at Philadelphia.

In one of the most interesting
games ever played at Ardmore, Pa.,
the William Henry Maule Company's
baseball team succeeded in defeating
the Henry F. Michell Company's team
hy the score of 5 to 4. The game was
full of sensational plays on both sides,
which brought the spectators to their
feet time and again.

A crowd of people witnessed the
struggle for supremacy of the Seed
League, which promises to be an in-
teresting race before the end of the
season.

Next Saturday, July 8th, Henry P.

An Interesting Fishing Trip.
A fishing party consisting of James
E. Jones, Proprietor of the Advance
Co., his son, Raymond, Fred H. Lemon,
proprietor of the Fred H. Lemon Co.,
florists, Indianapolis, Ind.. and two
other local friends motored to Colon,
Mich., on June 23rd. The trip was
made on a very warm day and some
tire trouble was experienced. Mr.
Lemon, standing 6 feet 2 inches, wear-
ing borrowed clothes for a fishing cos-
tume, represented a typical Ichabod
Crane. Regardless of this, his fine dis-
position and comical jokes kept the
party in a merry condition at all times.
Several fine fish were caught by the
party including a "billfish" or "gaar-
fish" which was 42 inches long. The
rushed condition of the two firms
above mentioned shortened the stay
of the party and the return was made
on the 27th without incident.

<flThe value of clay for pottery
is not based on the mere cost
of delivering the clay at a cer-
tain place, but on the quality
of pottery, which, in the hands
of artists, can be produced by
that particular clay. Both ma-
terial and art are necessary to
create the ultimate value — one
is dependent upon the other.
So with lily bulbs, you must
have good bulbs and be a flow-
ering artist to evolve from
them all they will produce.
Bad bulbs are the most costly
to buy because of the lost time,
space, expense and effort wasted
and then no returns, so how
foolish it really is to buy bulbs
because they are cheap — that's
when you should be suspicious
of them. Get good bulbs —
base your costs on the average
flower production and don't
take chances on cheap bulbs,
for one dose of bad bulbs will
more than offset the additional
cost of better bulbs for perhaps
ten years. Horseshoe Brand

Seed Trade

Chicago, III.— By taking in No. 226
West Kinzie street, the Leonard Seed
Co. has added about 15,000 square feet.

Philadelphia, Pa. — The Moore Seed
Co. is moving into its large store at
125 Market street.

San Francisco, Cal. — The Trumbull
Seed Co. has opened a store at 259
Market street.

Richmond Hill, N. Y. — A retail flor-
ist branch has been added to the seed
business of Carter & Son.

Baltimore, Md. — The Frederick
Weiseman Seed Co. and Robinson
Bros, are two new seed houses to be
established here.

New Ulm, Minn. — F. W. Kosek is
now manager for the Minnesota Seed
Co. He was formerly with the Farm-
ers' Seed and Nursery Co., Fairbault,
Minn.

Memphis, Tenn. — The United States
Seed Co. has established a branch
office at Front street and Gayoso ave-
nue. Charles Jackson of Fredonia has
been appointed manager.

Langdon, No. Dak. — Specifications
are out for a new seed building to be
erected here. It will be much the
same as the seed building at the
agricultural college.

Jackson, Mich. — The American
Seeding Co. lost several carloads of
farm machinery on June 27 by a fire
which totally destroyed the big build-
ing of the Storage and Transfer Co.,
where it was stored.

Chicago, III.— The W. W. Barnard
Co. have leased the stores at 231-233-
235 W. Madison street, Chicago, and
will move from their present quarters
on Fifth avenue, January 1st, 1912.
This will give them a much larger
place and a better oportunity for hand-
ling their increasing retail business.

Howard M. Earl, manager for W.
Atlee Burpee & Co., arrived home from
his crop inspection tour of the 22nd
ulto. The journey extended as far as
the Pacific coast, and was a strenuous
eighteen-day flying trip. We hope to
get a line on how crops are looking,
and what the prospects are — when he
gets his breath. This will be of much
interest to the seed trade — coming
from a keen observer and one repre-
senting big things in seed growing
and distribution.

RHODODENDRONS AT REGENT'S
PARK.

What is claimed to be the largest
flower show made by' any one firm in
the world was held during the month
of June in a shady dell covered with
a huge ridge and furrow tent in the
garden of the Royal Botanical Socie-
ty. Regent's Park, London, by the well
known firm of John Waterer & Sons
of Bagshot, Surrey, specialists in
American plants. This imposing an-
nual display has been made by that
firm in the same place for many years
past.

It is an ideal spot, chosen with a
view to the picturesque, and our best
compliments must be offered to the
firm on the marvellous artistic taste
displayed, somewhat a rarity amongst
English horticultural exhibitors. The
area covered is something like half
an acre.

We are about to proceed to make
our notes and wander round the show
on our own sweet way when a cour-
teous attendant offers to place himself
at our disposal. The mere mention
that we are taking notes for HORTI-
CULTURE of Boston, U. S. A., is suf-
ficient to arouse his interest and to
point out all that is newest and best
in the vast agglomeration of beauty
and color effect. We learn from him
that there are approximately 3000
plants in the show, and that these
comprise about 120 varieties. There
would seem to be an increasing section
of the flower-loving fraternity devoting
their attention to the plant and small
amateurs in and around our great
cities are using the rhododendron
much more freely than formerly, leav-
ing aside aucubas, privets and other
evergreen shrubs once so much the
fashion.

It would be practically impossible to
note all the many varieties that form
the bulk of this important display, but
passing along the outer border we no-
tice at intervals some very attractive
plants of Mrs. Tritton, crimson, light
centre. Gloriosum, blush white, Sap-
pho, white heavily spotted, Baroness
H. Schroder, white spotted, Mrs. Hol-
ford salmon crimson, Mrs. John
Waterer, rosy crimson, Album Grandi-
florum, white, Everestianum, rose lilac.
Concessum light centre margined rose.
Pink Pearl, seen in several fine ex-
amples is most attractive. Corner
Waterer white, slightly blushed, Pro-
metheus, crimson, Stella, pale lilac,
spotted, John Henry Agnew pale blush.
chocolate spots, Frederick Waterer
fiery crimson, Michael Waterer scarlet
crimson and Princess Hortense, lilac
rose are all noted as fine samples that
will maintain the best traditions of the
firm. We pass rapidly in review in
the various beds and groupings others
that can only be just briefly mentioned
and of which a special note was taken,
viz.: Charlie Waterer, Strategist, Mrs.
John Penn, Mme. Carvalho, Minnie,
Lady Eleanor Cathcart, B. de Bruin,
Mrs. John Clutton. J. Marshall Brooks,
Mrs. Holford, Lady Clementine Walsh,
Helen Waterer, Mrs. Bvitton, Countess
of Tankerville and numerous others.

We can only briefly add a few notes
concerning the remainder. A pretty
bed further on contains a number of
plants of Kalmia latifolia; another bed
close by is composed of Viburnum pli-
catum, Japanese maples and azaleas.

Then we pass on to several more large
and well filled beds of rhododendrons.
Altogether the show is an eminently
successful one and does great honor
to the firm that has organized it es-
pecially considering that only a few
days previously they made a fine dis-
play at the Royal Horticultural So-
ciety's Hall of a similar character. In
fact they filled the hall from May 30
to June 2nd with a similar kind of
show entirely on their own account.

SOME INDUSTRIOUS BOYS.

There is an innovation in the Syra-
cuse Park Department that might be
followed with advantage by other
cities. Two years ago some of the
manly and independent high school
boys asked the Superintendent of
Parks, David Campbell, for work on
the parks. After some consideration
he consented to give some a trial, and
gave them to understand there were
no soft snaps, that they would have
only rough hard work to do. He was
agreeably surprised to find they made
good. This year over eighty are em-
ployed, shoveling soil, digging, hoeing,
raking and the like. One can see doc-
tors', lawyers' and other professional
men's sons with overalls and jumpers
on working like good fellows — they do
men's work and get men's pay. This
roughing it will do them a vast amount
of lasting good.

AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DECISION.

The circuit court has affirmed the
verdict and judgment for $1,065 given
George & Allan, florists, Hyde Park,
Cincinnati, against the city as compen-
sation for loss and damage to plants.
In December, 1908, there was a break
in one of the mains near George &
Allan's greenhouses, and instead of
turning off the water from the broken
main the water was turned off from all
the mains in the neighborhood, and,
as a result, both of the sources of
George & Allan's water supply to their
greenhouses were cut off. Because of
being thus deprived of water the
florists were unable to maintain steam
heat for their greenhouses, and, in
consequence many of their plants and
flowers were destroyed.

E. C. Amling asserts that White Kil-
larney has supplanted Kaiserin. in his
experience, and that in the near fu-
ture -a red Killarney will take the
place of Richmond.

C. H. Ketcham of South Haven,
Mich., who specializes in gladioli, is
sending some fine stock to Chicago.
His America were excellent and cut
with four-foot stems.

All the wholesale houses are now
closing at 5 p. m., as is their practice
during July and August. Here is
where they are the envy of the retail-
ers, many of whom must keep open
. shop till 10 p. m.

The green and white windows are
the most popular now and it certainly
is a pleasure to the passershy to stop
and look at them. Even the sugges-
tion of coolness is appreciated by

A large sign over the entrance to
176 Michigan avenue announces the
opening of the Chicago Flower Grow-
ers' Association for the 15th of July
and the building is being put in readi-
ness. Two of the four stories will be
occupied by the new firm and the
others rented for the present. A
wholesale florists' sign looks unusual
on Michigan avenue, but the building
is really very close to the old district,
an alley only, separating it from the
J. A. Budlong place.

Frank Oechslin, 4911 W. Quincy
street, who grows plants for the whole-
sale trade, is fast getting his new
range of six houses into shape. It
will make a fine addition to his al-
ready fine place. A new office is also
under construction and will greatly
facilitate the handling of orders, etc.
Over 4000 square feet of cement walk
have been laid, the parkways have
been planted to bedding stock and
other general improvements made.
The new range is constructed of ce-
ment walls with pipe frame. The
Foley Manufacturing Co. furnished the
rafters and gutters. A No. 12 Kroe-
schell boiler will complete the equip-
ment.

Personal.

Phil Schup and family are at their
summer home at Lake Geneva.

Nick Miller is able to take up his
work again after being off duty for a
month with a disabled shoulder caused
by a. fall from a ladder.

A Lange and family will start for
the west July 10th. On account of
the hot weather Mr. Lange has given
up California and will make Colorado
Springs his headquarters.

A. J. Simmons of 63rd street is
rapidly regaining his health and is
anticipating an outing with the Na-
tional Guards, of which he is a mem-
ber, at the state encampment.

-Martha Gunderberg reports her
mother as doing nicely though it is
still too early to tell whether the cuts
made by broken glass will leave per-
manent scars. Mrs. Gunderberg was
on the Milwaukee car coming from the
Saengerfest and reported last week as
seriously injured.

Jack Byers, who left a week ago
for a motor boat cruise on Lake Mich-
igan, had a very narrow escape from
drowning. The little boat met with a
very rough sea and the engine broke
just as she was going into the harbor.
Had this happened outside it is ex-
tremely doubtful if the occupants of

the boat could have reached shore.

Mrs. Joseph Brooks of Morton Grove
came very near being a victim to pre-
mature celebration of July 4th. While
the family was sitting on the lawn
Sunday evening a falling rocket stick
passed through Mrs. Brooks' hair just
grazing her head. It fell with great
force and would have caused injury
and possible death had it struck her
squarely on the head.

Flower Market Reports.

Today, the fifth of the in-
BOSTON tense heat finds the flow-

er market almost
wrecked. To get flowers into the city
In any saleable condition is next to
impossible and to think of shipping
them out again is an absurdity. Never
before have we faced such a situation.
Roses, carnations and sweet peas — the
three mainstays of the market are
worthless when the boxes are opened.
It is consoling, however, to know that
we are at the very lowest point in the
business season and the demand is at
its weakest stage. For once Boston's
famed east wind seems to have for-
gotten her but we hope it is not for
long. All field crops are suffering from
drought.

The summer season,
CHICAGO with a few variations to

the usual conditions, is
fully here. For six weeks extreme
hot weather has prevailed and the
usual amount of stock greatly les-
sened in consequence. Indoor stock
has narrowed down to Beauties, or-
chids, summer roses, lily of the val-
ley, carnations and lilies. The Beau-
ties are very good considering all
things and the demand uses up the
daily cut. Of summer roses the qual-
ity varies more. There are some splen-
did Killarneys, especially in white, and
with orchids, lily of the valley and
sweet peas have met the wedding and
commencement demand, the indoor
sweet peas just lasting through the
month. Out-of-door sweet peas have
been greatly retarded in some locali-
ties, by the extreme heat and the
vines permanently injured, while in all
sections the stems are shortening ra-
pidly. The demand for orchids has
been steady. Red roses are not used
much and orders are for limited quan-
tities only. Gladioli in splendid qual-
ity are coming from Michigan, and
this showy summer flower sells well
when good varieties are offered. The
wholesalers generally claim to be
pleased with the volume of business
done the past month and if summer
stock holds up to what it now is, are
expecting fair trade during the sum-
mer.

Trade during the
CINCINNATI last week in June

was all that could
be desired. Supplies are decreasing
very rapidly, and those houses that
are fortunate enough in receiving
stock of good quality find a ready
market, as good flowers are none too
plentiful. There was a liberal supply
of short-stemmed Beauties, with the
longer grades just equal to the de-
mand. The Taft rose continues to
show its superiority over all other pink
sorts for summer blooming, with My
Maryland next in line. Killarney,
both white and pink, that are received
are short in stem, but help to relieve
any possible shortage in the demand
for pink roses. White roses, which
were in heavy crop during the pre-
vious week, slackened up, and with a
good demand both locally and out of
town for good white roses the market
at times run short. Shorter grades
were more plentiful. The receipts of
carnations have become light, and
those received clean up readily. Buy-

leneths.

ers are already inquiring for asters,
but the prospect for these is not very
bright, at least as far as local growers
are concerned. Good sweet peas find a
ready market, while those of poor
quality are hard to move at any price.
Shasta daisies are at an end for the
season. Lily of the valley in fair sup-
ply and demand. Lilies are no longer
as plentiful as they have been dur-
ing the past month. They sell stead-
ily, and prices are well maintained.
The supply of green goods is in every,
way equal to the demand.

For several days we
DETROIT have again been swelter-
ing under a heat wave
which breaks records daily as far back

as 27 years. I am certain that nobody,
no matter how enthusiastic he is over
Detroit's many excellent features of a
city to live in and work in, cares for
Detroit to be a record breaker in such
a direction. That flowers of all kinds
are more than scarce need hardly to
be mentioned. Indoor sweet peas are
all gone, and out of door are checked
vei y much through the hot and dry
spell. Retail demand has very much
quieted down. Florists in general re-
port the past June ahead of the one a
year ago, but not as far ahead as May,
1911, was over May, 1910. This feature
may be explained by the fact that the
demand for bedding stock was more

(Continued fr»m faff 4Q)

this year than last, on the other hand
cut flowers had suffered very much
from the hot weather in May, and the
quality offered in June was very in-
ferior.

Midsummer conditions
NEW YORK have struck this

neighborhood with
sudden vengeance. Everybody who
can get out of town has done so and,
as for those that are left, flowers are
about the last thing they need. The
extreme heat which has covered a
large part of the country during the
past week about ruined the flower
crop for the time being. The product
is small as to bulk and almost useless
as to quality. The retail stores make
no pretense of carrying stock. Their
windows as a rule are adorned with a
few ferns or palms, an occasional
bunch of garden or field bloom and
sometimes a dish of water lilies. If
an order should chance to come in the
purchasing clerk gathers himself to-
gether and makes the round of the
wholesale stores where he is as wel-
come as can be. Steamer trade has
fallen off and quiet times are on for
the' next few weeks.

We have looked
PHILADELPHIA carefully around

the purlieus of
Philadelphia for any signs of excite-
ment in the cut flower markets. We
have not found any to speak of and
have the honor, therefore, to report
that all is quiet along the Delaware.
Some slight skirmishes were in evi-
dence early last week and consider-
able loot was gathered in from the
enemy; but later the operations were-
only of a commonplace character and
barely sufficient to keep the commis-
sariat department in ordinary rations.
By Saturday much of the spoils were
in danger of spoiling from the great
heat — and were allowed to go to the
enemj with little resistance. This
strategic movement saved trouble and
cleared the front for action on the
3rd. On the latter date some flank
movements were successful with the
American lieauly battalions and the
enemy had to succumb to superior
force, both in quality and indemnity.
Worthy of special mention also, was
the good work done by the Marylands.
They were in line form and got in the
running considerably ahead of the
Irish Brigade— the redoubtable Killar-
neys. The white squads were led by
the Hohenzollerns in the nearby skir-
mishes: but for distance work tlie hon-

ors must be awarded to the Irish. The
Carrie Nations have shed their pants
and are back in the cooking tents
temporarily. Minor items not making
history to any extent.

The market the past
ST. LOUIS week showed very lit-
tle of anything new
and all the consignments continue
poor grades in all varieties. Roses in
demand but good ones are hard to
find. Carnations also continue poor.
Gladioli clean up daily. Lilies are
good and lily of the valley has had a
large demand. Sweet peas are very
poor — in fact all outdoor stock is poor
this season.

The cut flower trade
SYRACUSE is dull, but large funer-
al orders keep the
stock well worked up. The excessive
heat for the past week or more has
raised rain with everything in the
houses. There is some anxiety felt
over the chrysanthemums, and the
outcome next fall. Carnations in the
field are doing finely, and promise
some grand plants for fall work.
Heavy and frequent tains in May and
June gave them a good start, and fre-
quent cultivation keeps the moisture
in the ground. The plants are making
a splendid growth. Some showers now
would do much good, and tend to
clown red spider, which is bound to
make its appearance if tins exce
heat continues.

BUSINESS CHANCES

Here's a Mighty Fine Op-
portunity for a good man
who knows the Nursery
Business, or a firm who
want a branch house.

I own one of the best greenhouse
and nursery plants in the country — 50,-

000 teel of glass is now in carnations
and i.;n acres in general nursery sn»-k.

1 am a hanker, a might; busy man,
and cannot give this enterprise the
attention It deserves. A reliable nur-
sery firm, or a competent man who pos-
sesses good business ability, will he
sold a half interest at a fair price and
on reasonable terms. It is desirable-
hut not absolutely necessary — that such
i man should have a knowledge of
greenhouse management and a married
man is preferable. This locality is un-
excelled for growing many kinds of
nursery stock, and I believe it is an
opportunity for a nursery firm or a
capable man to establish a splendid
business. If you feel that you are the
type of a partner 1 am looking for. and
run invest from $15,0(10 to $20;000 write
to me at onee.

CABBAGE KEPT FREE FROM WORMS.

DRAKES GARDEN.

Bast Brookfield, Blase., Jan. 1 4, 1905.

We have used Slug Shot and always found it

very useful. Our potato on ■ | • 3 ielded 200 bushels

t<> the acre. Slug sin it for ( labbage Worms is the

best defense in the n "rid.

Very truly, F. A. DRAKE.

Cabbage Worms.

Tin* CaldiaLri' Worm lias spread wherever oab-
liuitertiy and Lam. bage is grown. Whether early cabbage or late

cabbage, in garden or field, it perforates the plant, and is of all worms one of the
most disgusting, to find bidden away in the folds of the Leaf.

IF YOU WANT CABBAGE FREE FROM WORMS, USE HAMMOND'S SLUG SHOT.

How to Destroy Cabbage Worms*— Slug Shot can be used lightly or heavily and the cabbage
suffers no harm. The cabbage form-, its head by the interior growth ; it throws off its earlier and outside
leaves, and no dust can enfold within its head. Apply Slug Shot with a I>uster (see illustration), sieve it
over the plants or full grown cabbages. The powder is very fine and goes a long way in field or garden.

MAIN

For years Maine has been
noted for lier potatoes — no state
in the Union now grows as tine
or makes such a wholesale busi-
ness of it.

She buys a goodly number or u. & B.'s complete "Iron Framers." This
one of D. C. Blair's at Bar Harbor, Me., is but one of a dozen or more others
right around in that section that have been sold comparatively recently by our
Huston Office.

From Irvington, N. T. to Bar Harbor, Maine, seems a long way to ship
materials for a greenhouse, but Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Colorado Springs,
Colorado; Los Angeles, California and such, don't stop for distance when they
want one of our superior houses for superior purposes — so why should Maine.

The freight for such a distance is not such an item as you might think,
as it Is actually paid on finished materials only — materials that are all cut and
ready for immediate erection. No large excess of cypress is shipped to be cut
and wasted on the job as is the usual way — no excess of iron to be worked
out by rule of the thumb measurements. The exact things needed are sent
exact. They are made exact ■* the factory. Mention these facts to your em-
ployer; they are bound to impress him.

We are turning out over two houses a day at our factories but they have
room for that one of yours. Send along the particulars and see if we can't
work together and get things started.

RARE LILIES

FROM CHINA

Hardy, Beautiful, Fragrant. The Finest Novelties Extant

Lilium myriophyllum

I ■■ IllfcJI MVDinDUVI I lift* Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant collector, collected
L.IL.IUIVI fflTKIUrnTLLUlTl for us the bulbs now offered, in North-western
China. He considers this the finest of all lilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing. It has
been predicted that this will become the Easter I.ilv of the future, anil being so hardy, may he grown ai
home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink and with a beautiful shade of canary yellow at
the centre, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one ot tne
jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor of most lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in July.
Orders booked now for October delivery. Bulbs each. $1.50: dozen, $15.00.

The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson.
Tins is oue of the strongest growing lilies—
frequentlv attaining a height of six to eight feet. The flowers vary in number from five to ten on a
stalk, and in size and shape resembling I. ilium Ilarrisii, greenish white shaded purple on the outside,
and of the purest white within, with a lint of citron in the centre. The flowers have a pleasing
fragrance. This lily will undoubtedly be largely used for outdoor planting as well as for forcing. Many
consider it the finest of all tubular-flowered lilies. It flowers somewhat later than Lilium myriophyllum.
and being c.f larger growth, has a distinct place.

Orders booked now for October delivery. Bulbs each. $1.50: dozen, $15.00.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists' Stock

CHEYSANTII llllis

Those plants that were ben tied during May will be

benefited by s e sort of ao ishmenl now. This can

be supplied in the form of bone meal and aboui half an
inch of some well-rotted cot\ manure. 'Tins will help
in keep the beds from drying oul so often ami keep the
roots much cooler. Where \ it plants arc well filled

with roots, feeding can he c menced. Use weak

doses "l cow or sheep manure, to which some soot has
be< n added ; this will make the foliage a line dark green
while also affording good food for the plants. It is
necessan during this hot weather to give copious and
frequenl syringings to keep the temperature down as
much as possible. Buds can he taken on most of all the
early kinds after the first week in August. This would
include Golden Glow, Monrovia, October Frost, Berg-
man. Mersthan Yellow. Merry Monarch and Alice By-
ron. Polly Rose, Glory of the Pacific ami Virginia
Poehlmann should not be taken before the 20th of
August as they produce only poor Sowers if taken ear-
lier. Plants in the late houses should he encouraged
to make all the growth possible now. If any buds ap-
pear from now up to September they should he pinched
nil'. If mildew is prevalent use sulphide of potassium —
half ounce to a gallon of water and spray over and un-
der the leaves.

HOUSING CARNATIONS

It is well to hear in mind, when lifting the plants
from the field, to remove them as quickly as possible
to some place where they have some protection from the
hot sun and dry winds. If you have plenty of plants
-elect only the best and most shapely for benching.
When planting make a hole with a trowel large enough
to allow the roots to have a proper spread, and set the
plants just a little higher than they were in the field,
as a preventive for stem rot. Give a firm pressing
around each and every plant. Shade your house with
something that will come off in ten or twelve days.
After the fourth day remove a little each day so that
in either ten or twelve days the plants will be able to
stand full sun. As soon as you have 50 or 60 feet of
bench planted give each plant a good watering. Keep
your house rather close for the first ten days and
spray two or three times a day until the plants have
taken hold of the sod, when spraying should be re-
duced to normal. Keep on plenty of ventilation for it
is a necessity in securing sturdy short-jointed growth.

HOLLYHOCKS

Now is the best time to start a liberal lot of these
useful plants. You can either sow seed outdoors or in
a cold frame. Where you have the latter at command
it will prove the best, for you can give shade until the
seeds have germinated and. with watering during dry
weather and little care generally they will grow vigor-
ously until the fall. Give the ground where they are
to be planted out a good quantity of well rotted manure
and work it in by a deep digging, as they like a deep
soil with plenty of manure. It is better not to plant
these seedlings out until next spring, but winter them
over in a cold frame. During three or four months of
the severest winter weather they should be protected
with glass sash.

LOREAINK BEGONIAS

From now on keep all flowers pinched off and -lop
any runaway shoots. Give the plants a place quite
close to the glass which should not be too heavily shaded.

These are g I

pecially Oncidium
come very populai

Where it i- possible give them shade during the hot-
test hours of the day with a lattice that can be removed
after •'! or 1 P. M. mid need not he put on until 9
o'clock in the morning, or may he left oil' entirely dur-
ing dull and cloudy days. Keep the air humid by wet-
ting down the paths and beneath the benches; this will
■ji\r lone to the Eoliage. When' the plants begin to
crowd give them a fresh stand with plenty of room be-
tween each for lighl ami air. Ventilate so as to avoid
an) sudden fluctuations in the temperature. Give them
a shifl before thej become pot-bound until you have
them in their flowering size. Use a compost of equal
parts of fibrous loam, leaf mold, anil well decayed cow
manure.

ONCIDIt MS

orchids to grow commercially, es-
varicosum Rogersii which has be-
with florists: Give this oncidium
plenty of air at all times during the summer months
and to insure an abundance of atmospheric moisture
wet down the benches, paths and walls three or four
times daily during very hot and dry days. From now

until October use s -hading material, hut not too

heavy, as these orchids like an abundance of light, with-
out being expo ed to the full sun. Permit the plants to
dry out occasionally so as not to let them get "sour,"
hut don't let them remain dry for any length of time.
A good plan is to go over them about three times a
week and take them down, as watering with the hose
l- not always satisfactory. Then those that are dry can
he dipped in a tub of water, a method which always
propetiv moistens the compost. In bright weather give
syringing overhead once or twice a day. It is well to
remember that all varieties delight in being as near the
glass as practicable.

PERENNIAL LUPINES AND LARKSPURS

These stately and gorgeous herbaceous perennials are
always in demand. It is not too late to sow a batch of
seed now in a coldframe for they will germinate very
soon. Don't be in too great a hurry to transplant — that
is if the stock is not too crowded, for they can stand
quite a while without suffering, as long as you keep on
cultivating between the rows and keep the weeds down.
A slight shade to protect them against the noonday sun
will do good, but full exposure to the sun the rest of
the dav, with proper watering and cultivating, is best.
Lupinus polvphyllus— both the blue and white— are
good. Of the tall delphiniums, formosum and formo-
sum ccelestinum are fine. In addition it is well not to
forget the dwarf er growing Chinese delphiniums as
they are fine also.

ASPARAGUS SPEENGERT

A narrow bench running along the front or the rear
of a well-lighted house is the proper place to grow this
decorative green. It can also be grown in suspended or
in raised receptacles and will give a valuable lot of green
to cut from when grown this way. Give it where pos-
sible at least 10 inches of soil as it wants lots of root
room. , A soil that will grow roses will be all right for
it but you can make it richer as they require the rich-
est kind of soil to grow good. It will do finely in a tem-
perature of about 55 d rees at night, or a little higher
with plenty of moistun al its roots and with a reason-
able amounl of freel] i eulating fresh air. When the
roots have filled th i < •• boxes, or baskets they

should have regular potations of liquid manure.

LILIES FOE FALL.

Now is a good time to secure and start up a batch
of retarded Lilium longiflorum and speciosum. They

paratively light. There is a fairly constant call for
these choice lilies, especially for funeral work. Use 6
or 7-inch pots and let them start in as cool a place as
you may have, to develop good root action before the
tops start. A good place to put them is on a cool
cellar floor. Water them whenever they seem dry and
when the growth show above the pots give them a place
where they will have full light. Be on the watch for
aphis so that they will not get a foothold, or the result
will be deformed and discolored blooms.

Mr. FarrelFs next notes will lie on the following: Callas;
Mulching Mixture; Pansies ; Painting and Repairing; Eambler
Buses ; Solanums.

liana, C. gigas, C. Harrisoniana, C. Mendelii and C.

Group of Summer Flowering Orchids

Warneri. with Oncidium crispum, 0. Forbesii, and 0.
citrosmum. and Epidendrum vitellinum, all of which
when arranged together make a pleasing group.

The other picture is a Digbyana hybrid, cross be-
tween Brassavola Digbyana, and Cattleya Mendelii,
usually called L-C. Digbyano-Mendelii, and which I
think is one of the best, if not the best of all the Digby-
ana crosses. The two flowers shown here are pure
white except for the throat, which has the markings as
in the Mendelii throat. The flowers each measure 914
in. across, and the lip 4 in. at widest part, with a very
heavy fringe.

Now that the summer months are here and the sun is
about as hot as it will be, and most of the fall and
winter flowering orchids have their new growths coming
along, great care should be taken to protect them from
the direct rays of the sun. The C. Percivalianas and
Trianaes will be more advanced than Schroderae, and
root action will be more free with them. Therefore
they should never be allowed to dry out so as to cause
the plant to suffer. Again we very often find, where
the plants have a quantity of young roots on the sur-
face of the peat, that they are very often eaten by
snails, and if not looked after the snails will soon clean

the young growth of all its roots. While there are
many ways to catch the snails, I always claim that it is
far better for one to look over his plants at night as
this is the time the snails get their work in. Although
it may take a little extra time, it will pay in the end
where snails are bad, for a few nights of going over will
soon do away with a lot of them.

Phalaenopsis will be making new leaves now, and
should be kept growing and given all the light you can
without burning themv As the young leaves keep push-
ing up an outlook should be kept for any injurious in-
sects, as they are very tender. A little time taken each
morning to look over each plant will go a long way to
make them a success. Just as soon as the C. Gaskel-
liana, Mendelii. and gigas are through flowering, would
be the best time to repot or tup dress them as needed.

Forcing Strawberries

Editor of Hortictltire :

Dear Sir : — I read with interest your notes by G. H.
Penson on varieties of strawberries for forcing.

Marshall is my best early. Excelsior is best with
some of my neighbors. Commonwealth is an extra
good second early. For late forcing Goldsborough will
be found very satisfactory. The long foot stalks en-
ables it to hold the fruit away up and out from the
pot so that you can spray longer to keep clear of red
spider without causing loss of fruit by damping.

THE BURPEE EXHIBIT AT THE SWEET PEA SHOW.

The illustration herewith presented
gives some idea of the superb sweet
pea exhibit made by W. Atlee Burpee

& Co., at the recent show in Philadel-
phia. The picture shows only about
one-fifth of the length of the display.
It is not possible to do justice to such

an arrangement in one photograph.
The colors were beautifully contrasted
and harmonized but this, of course,
must also be left to the imagination.

A FEW OBSERVATIONS ANENT
SWEET PEAS.

By Edwin Lonsdale, Lompoc, Cal.
To the Officers and Members of the
National Sweet Pea Society of
America:

We are all aware that the Sweet
Pea by its own intrinsic worth has
forged to the front and now heads the
list among annual flowers; aided to
some extent, of course, by its numer-
ous ardent admirers.

The Sweet Pea is rarely out of
place, and is almost equally at home,
blooming in the city yard, as it is in
the more pretentious gardens of the
suburbanite or on the broader acre-
age, further afield, among the more
wealthy. The late and highly re-
spected Henry Eckford is everywhere
accorded the honored title of "The
Father of the Sweet Pea," having by
painstaking and well-directed effort,
in cross-fertilizing and selecting, im-
proved it in many of the great essen-
itals, which include size, color, and
form, but it was the advent of that
beautiful variety, Countess Spencer,
which marked the greatest advance in
the modern sweet pea; and, its ten-
dency to "sport," or vary, which this
modern type has a predisposition to
do, is not the least among its inter-
esting qualities. Someone has said
that this sportive tendency "is a bless-
ing in disguise," and I believe it.
Most assuredly it has added zest to
the growing of sweet peas generally
in recent years, for many enthusiasts
in these days are continually on the
lookout for new color shades, new
color combinations and an additional
eighth of an inch to the standard!

The tendency that the modern sweet
pea has to throw sports has caused
many enthusiasts to observe more
closely for color and other variations,
and thus added materially to their
pleasures in sweet pea growing. We
hear sometimes the "carping critic"
bewailing the fact that there are too
many varieties, and some have gone

so far as to take the trouble of pre-
paring lists of too-much-alike varie-
ties, but we must always bear in
mind that each color selection fre-
quently has characteristics all its own
which is often influenced by different
soil or climatic conditions, so that it
behooves us to try all varieties and
hold on to those which answer our
own individual purposes best.

Florists everywhere find sweet peas,
both in the winter season and also
when grown outdoors in summer time,
always useful to cut from, and never
out of place, and the newer "Spen-
cers" with their larger and more wavy
standards lend themselves most grace-
fully to all floral art; and, besides,
this type also has another advantage
for garden and floral decorations on
account of its failing to set seed so
freely as does the older grandiflora
types, thus prolonging its season for
producing flowers.

Among crimsons nothing in general
cultivation is superior to King Ed-
ward Spencer, as it lights up so well
under the influence of artificial light
at night. For a delicate pink, the
best selection of the original Countess
Spencer is still one of the very best.
For maroon, Othello answers the pur:
pose well. White Spencer is one of
the best in that color, and for a
cream, Primrose Spencer at its best
is at the head of the list. So far as
I have seen in the light lavender color
shade there is nothing better than the
newer Florence Nightingale.

The foregoing list is of course rec-
ommended for outdoor growing in
summer time. For winter blooming
an entirely distinct type is made use
of, among which may be mentioned:
Earliest White, or Florence Denzer,
and Mont Blanc. For cream, Earliest
Sunbeams is good. Christmas Pink
or re-selected Earliest of All Blanche
Ferry are quite popular among the
pinks, and for rosy lavender Mrs.
Alex. Wallace, and for violet purple,
Le Marquis is grown. The winter
blooming class is not of the Spencer

type, but these I am reliably informed
are on the way to arrive quite soon.

The crops of sweet peas seeds at
this writing are quite uncertain, espe-
cially at Floradale, where on account
of weather conditions planting was
from four to six weeks later than in
1910.

CARE OF WASHINGTON TREES.

While the elm tree beetle and the
caterpillar have been exceedingly
numerous in the district this sum-
mer the district superintendent of
trees and parkings has waged a vig-
orous campaign against them, and
one of the most successful ones in
years. The trees certainly are in bet-
ter condition than they were a year
ago. Some 7000 elm trees have been
sprayed twice with arsenate of lead,
applied by means of a 400-gallon
sprayer, which has been added to the
apparatus at the disposal of the park
superintendent. Moreover, all the lin-
den trees have been sprayed twice, and
it is expected that there will be addi-
tional sprayings. Last year many
trees were also denuded of foliage,
which was entirely skeletonized so
that the trees afforded no shade. No
trees are in that condition this sum-
mer. The cost of the spraying has
been but a trifle more than 8 cents a
tree. Many caterpillars have been
prevented from climbing up the tree
trunks by bands of pitch applied to
the trees, and men with gasoline
torches have destroyed many of the
pests. F. J. DYER.

Utica, N. Y. — Wm. Matthews, the
orchid specialist of Central New York,
has refused a big offer for a rare white
Cattleya gigas. He recently sent a
splendid specimen to the Royal Gar-
dens at Windsor. Although arrived
at the age when most successful sons
of Flora retire on their laurels, this
veteran orchidist may be found con-
stantly among his pets, which provide
him with profitable recreation.

outdoors and seems to fake most kindly to New Eng-

We have been much interested in the ae-
A hibiscus llU1-t given in the Pacific Commercial
show Advertiser of Honolulu of whai was prac-
tically the first flower show in the Hawaiian
Islands, held on June '28 last. One would have to do
sumo guessing before arriving at the facts as to the
flower to which the show was devoted, which was none
other than the hibiscus, of which we are told that over
two hundred distinct varieties were staged. Among
them were a score of imported varieties and a very
small part of the balance were indigenous to Oahu, the
great majority being the lesult of the careful labors in
hybridizing and crossing on the part of the local hibis-
cus enthusiasts who. it would seem are as zealous in
i hi- particular line as, for instance, our own sweet pea
devotees are in theirs. Over two thousand people vis-
ited the show between 11 A. M. and 4 P. M. Now
that it is called to our attention, why not give this
gorgeous flower a chance in our exhibitions here? Few
subjects present better possibilities.

We hope that the interests of the

will not fail of careful consideration
at the coming S. A. F. convention in Baltimore. The
Nurserymen's Association has been following up this
matter with commendable persistency, through its hus-
tling legislative committee of which Wm. Pitkin is
chairman. We regret that the space at our disposal will
not permit of our publishing the interesting report
made by Mr. Pitkin at the recent convention of nur-
serymen at St. Louis. There is much in it that should
have deep consideration by that section of the trade
which Horticulture particularly reaches and some plan
of action in co-operation with the Nurserymen's Associa-
tion should he entered into by the S. A. P. The bill
introduced by Representative Simmons of Niagara Falls
and now in possession of the committee on Agriculture,
to regulate the importation and interstate transporta-
tion of nursery stock and to enable the Secretary of
Agriculture to establish and maintain quarantine dis-
tricts for pi. in! diseases and insect pests, is only one of
the many propositions, local and otherwise, in which

and, in the matter of interstate quarantine the florists

Obituary.

Wm. A. Woodward.

On Sunday, July 2nd, Win. A Wood-
ward. Sr.. of the seed firm of Wm. A.
Woodward & Son of Latham. Albany
County, N. Y., passed to "that bourne
whence no traveler returns." We do
not know Mr. Woodward's exact age,
but are informed that he was "about"
fifty years of age. Though Mr. Wood-
ward was devoted to business, and
was the owner of several valuable
farms, he found time to devote his
attention in a mild way to politics,
and was school commissioner for his
district for many years. He was a
conscientious, upright man, and in all
of his dealings with his fellow men
aimed to observe the Golden Rule. He
was a kindly, home-loving man, and
when business did not call him away
was always at home.

Those who knew Mr. Woodward
best, appreciated his many fine traits
of character. He was not a man who
made close friendships readily, but
went his way, faithfully performing
his duties, and caring little what
might be said or thought of him. We
understand he leaves a widow and
two sons. Whether they will decide
to continue the seed business or not
has not been learned, but to them we
extend our heartfelt sympathy, and
if we may be pardoned, the hope that
the sons may emulate the virtues of
their highly esteemed father, and wish
them the highest measure of happi-
ness and success.

Charles J. Marc.
Charles J. Marc, well-known among
the florist trade of New York for
many years as a grower of roses, aza-
leas, etc., died suddenly at Washing-
ton, D. C, on July 5, from neuralgia
of the heart. "Charlie" Marc was an
adopted son of the late Gabriel Marc
whose place at Woodside, Long Island,
he managed and whom he afterwards
succeeded in business. The establish-
ment was originally one of the most
noted, many imported novelties having
been first shown there, among them
being the Dielytra (Dicentra) specta-
bilis. Mr. Marc married as his second
wife the daughter of Mr. Garden of
Washington and about ten years ago,
having sold his property at Woodside
to the Penna. R. R. retired from busi-
ness and moved to Washington where
he has since resided. He was born in
Switzerland.

J. A. McPheron.
J. A. McPheron, nurseryman, died
at the home of his daughter at Carroll-
ton, 111., June 22, aged 85 years. Mr.
McPheron was a pioneer nurseryman
of Carrollton and father of R. A. Mc-
Pheron, proprietor of the Cottage
Greenhouses, Litchfield, 111., and J.
Clint McPheron, florist, of Carrollton.

Paul De Longpre.
Paul De Longpre, who had a world-
wide reputation as a flower painter,
died at his home, Hollywood, near Los
Angeles, Cal., on June 29, aged 59
years.

THE LIGHTS AND SHADOWS OF
THE AUCTION BUSINESS.

R. W. MacNifl, before the New York Flor-
ists' Club.

The auction business is as old as
the world. Adam bid one of his ribs
for the first lady ever known to be
on the market, and as there was no
opposition, he got her at his own of-
fer Now, there must be two offers
to make a sale legitimate. If anyone
else had been at the first garden auc-
tion, he and old Adam would be bid-
ding yet. Imagine such a valuable
flower as Eve being advertised for
sale next Tuesday or Friday! Madi-
son Square Garden wouldn't hold the
crowd of florists. The horticultural
auction business, you perceive, has
the merit of antiquity.

My subject, however, deals with
modern plant and flower auctions, and
these are full of "lights" and "shad-
ows." The "lights" include the light
prices obtained, the limitless field
that is developing, the return of hu-
manity to the farm, and the conse-
quent needs of the suburbanite; the
joy of being instrumental in fostering
a love for the beautiful; the conscious-
ness of sending out our monuments
in every direction, knowing that the
trees and plants we sell will grow and
blossom, and cheer with their perfume
and beauty, unborn thousands, after
we are safely planted under the dai-
sies.

Then, there is the joy of standing
"in the lime light," mesmerizing by
voice, and persuasive smile, the mul-
titude; soaking the fresh guys or the
wealthy widows with something we
see they want, no matter what the
cost. These are "real lights" that
help to lighten our burdens, and to
dissipate the gloom, in our otherwise
"shadowy" occupation. There is the
light of knowledge we acquire every
week; knowledge of plant life; of new
varieties; of insects and insecticides,
of the frailties of humanity; all most
interesting to the inquiring mind.
Then, there is the "velvet" in our
business; 17% per cent on every dol-
lar's worth we sell, whether the
grower receives the cost of production
or not.

Only three or four hours' work a
day, and only two days' work a week,
the strengthening of our vocal chords,
fitting us later on for ministerial work,
when the great profits of the auction
business inevitably draw too many en-
terprising opponents into the field! Is
it any wonder we grow fat, and our
bank accounts increase, and we ride
in autos, and life is one sweet song?

But there are two sides to every-
thing and everybody. Listen to the
shadows, and then rejoice that you
are now in the place Providence in-
tended you should fill; and cease to
envy the men who are wasting their

energies and nerves and talents in
your behalf.

The path of the auctioneer is not
strewn with roses. More likely dead
rose bushes — with their thorns pierce
his weary feet. His season is lim-
ited. If he makes any money he must
crowd into weeks the labor that
should be spread over months of ordi-
nary toil. He must win and hold his
growers against falsehoods and unrea-
sonableness, and misrepresentation —
he must be ready to give minutest de-
tails of every transaction; he must
create confidence in foreign exporters
whom he has never seen, and he must
be financially strong enough to meet
promptly every demand of his ship-
pers. All these clouds must have sil-
ver linings, or shadowy indeed is the
outlook otherwise.

He must have a deep knowledge of
human nature, a memory, so keen that
he never forgets a face or name; and
tact and patience that preserve a
smiling countenance, when his heart
is bursting with cuss words and justi-
fiable indignation. All these shadows
must be seen and blown away before
success is even possible. The auc-
tioneer must keep his temper; and in
a word become "all things to all men,"
if he would win them. His mind must
be clear; his physical strength unim-
paired— his constitution of iron. He
must avoid artificial stimulants; never
•descend to offensive repartee, always
give the retort courteous no matter
how his dignity may be imposed upon.

Now, you know some of the shadows
that hover over the auction business;
and there are many others. There is
the late season; with spring lingering
long in the lap of winter— the long
drought — the late or early Easters —
the missent shipments, the express
overcharges, the unwatered plants, the
careless handling by railroad igno-
ramuses. Then come the long office
hours, the burning of the midnight oil,
the innumerable details, the unavoid-
able mistakes, the impatient shippers,
the slow collections, the betrayal of
confidences, the carelessness of em-
ployes. Well! Now you have both
sides of the burning subject. Aren't
you glad you are not a horticultural
auctioneer?

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB.

The regular meeting of the Chicago
Florists' Club was held July 6th, and
the following were elected to member-
ship: Frank E. Gabler, 3708 Langley
avenue; L. Hoeckner, 3810 Grand
avenue; George H. Mohr, 31 W. Ran-
dolph street; W. Langhout, 31 W. Ran-
dolph street. All the officers were in
their places, and 39 members present
In spite of the hot weather. Allie
Zeck, as chairman of the sports and
pastimes committee reported progress
on the arrangements for the picnic at
Erkardt's Grove, Park Ridge, July 23d.
Tickets are for sale at all florists'
places. It was voted to donate $35.00
from the club funds to be used for
prizes. Committees with the follow-
ing chairmen were appointed: on re-
freshments, Harry Philpott; grounds,
Michael Fink; dancing, Al. Leh-
mann; sports, Allie Zeck; ticket col-
lection, H. C. Blewitt.

The transportation committee re-
ported the Monon route selected for
the convention trip as far as Cincin-
nati, and the B. & O. the remainder.
The J. C. Moninger Co. sent a com-
munication regarding the revision of
the rates on greenhouse material with
the Western Classification Co., and a
committee was appointed.

M. Barker, George Klehm and J. C.
Vaughan were appointed a committee
to entertain the delegates to the Rail-
way Gardeners' convention here in
August. A vote of thanks was ex-
tended to the Milwaukee Florists' Club
for their entertainment. A report of
the St. Louis Club picnic was given by
Geo. Asmus. Steps were taken to ad-
vance the interests of Chicago in secur-
ing the S. A. F. convention of 1912,
and Messrs. Rudd, Foley, Philpott, Py-
fer, Winterson, Keimel, Asmus, Mar-
tin and A. Poehlmann were appointed
a committee.

Walter McGee was given a vote of
thanks for a very interesting talk on
fertilizers.

Moss, John Terry, Fred Berger, E. A.
Seidewitz. Mr. Vincent headed the
delegation by virtue of his being presi-
dent of the Maryland Horticultural So-
ciety, and vice-president of the So-
ciety of American Florists. There was
much enthusiasm over the coming
meetings, as well as over the outing
set for Wednesday.

FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHINGTON.
The Florists' Club of Washington
met on the evening of July 6 in the
grotto back of Gude's floral store,
which had been transformed into
something bearing a legendary resem-
blance to a rathskeller, in honor of
the occasion. There was a crab feast
as the main attraction, and various
stunts by members enlivened the eve-
ning's proceedings. Edward Schmidt
was host at the crab feast. President
Elmer C. Mayberry, Secretary O. A. C.
Oehmler and others, including some of
the visitors from Maryland, made re-
marks. The club took up and disposed
of various details connected with the
outing to be held at Huntsville, Md.,
when the club will open a new amuse-
ment park.

One of the principal topics dis-
cussed was the prospective visit to
Washington by the Society of Ameri-
can Florists during the Baltimore Con-
vention. A committee from Baltimore
was in attendance, and arrangements
were entered into for the proposed

FLORISTS' CLUB OF PHILADEL-
PHIA.

As usual, the midsummer meeting
of this club was rather slimly attended,
partly because of the intense heat,
and partly because the members are
many of them out of town, and partly
because it is hard to get them to at-
tend summer meetings in any case.

William Sim

President-Elect, National Sweet Pea So-
ciety of America.

Nevertheless, there was a fair atten-
dance to listen to Paul Huebner on
•'Railroad Gardening," and those who
came were not disappointed. The fol-
lowing committees on the coming con-
vention of the S. A. F. were appointed:

Transportation, John Westcott, David
Rust, Samuel S. Pennock; hotels,
George C. Watson, Robert Kift, Fred
Hahman.

J. Otto Thilow announced that the
speaker for the August meeting would
be Xavier E. Schmitt of Fairmount
Park, "Bedding Plants for Park Adorn-
ment." Frank M. Ross was elected
to membership. The competitive
method of selecting a bowling team for
Baltimore having fallen through this
year, the chairman of the games com-
mittee was given power to select a
representative team. Many of the
members are in favor of taking the
boat trip to Baltimore, this being a
pleasant variation from the usual
method, and one that would be enjoyed
by many.

A MADISON SYMPOSIUM.

Monday, July 10, was a warm prop-
osition at Madison, N. J., as it was
elsewhere, but a party of about a doz-
en braved the fierce heat and partici-
pated in a very pleasant social time,
the principal reason for which was a
meeting of the executive committee of
the National Association of Gardeners
who met for the purpose of signing
the Charter granted by the State of
New Jersey.

The following named visitors were
present: William Kleinheinz, garden-
er to P. A. B. Widener, Ogontz, Pa.;
Thos. Logan, gardener to C. R. Newbold,
Jenkintown, Pa.; John H. Dodds, gar-
dener to John Wanamaker, Jenkin-
town, Pa.; Xavier Schmitt, superin-
tendening gardener of Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia, Pa.; E. Thatha-
way. gardener to R. C. Clowry, Tarry-
town, N. Y.; Harry A. Bunyard and
Wm. E. Maynard of New York, N. Y.;
J. Austin Shaw, New York, and Wil-
liam J. Stewart, of Boston, Mass.

The trustees appointed under the
Charter are Thomas Logan, Wm.
Kleinheinz, M. C. Ebel, Robert Tyson
and W. E. Tricker.

It was decided to hold the next
convention at Madison, during the
time of the Morris County Flower
Show. October 26 and 27 next. The
Association will contribute several
valuable prizes to be competed for by
its members. In the meantime a
meeting will be held at Horticultural
Hall, Phila., on July 17, on the call of
the president.

The visitors, after business was
completed, inspected the laboratories
of the Aphine Mfg. Company, under
escort of Mr. Ebel, who entertained
them at luncheon at the Madison
House and then gave them a ride to
the establishment of C. H. Totty,
where the fine young chrysanthemum
stock was duly admired, thence to
the gardens and greenhouses of the
beautiful McKay Twombly estate now
under charge of Robert Tyson who
extended hospitality, and then to the
James estate where they were cordial-
ly received by Wm. Duckham and
Mrs. Duckham at their home after a
tour through the well-kept houses and
spacious flower garden under Mr.
Duckham's guidance. Altogether it
was a most enjoyable affair through-
out.

CINCINNATI FLORISTS' SOCIETY.

This society held its annual meeting.
The officers elected and installed for
the following year are: President,
Gus Adrian; vice-president, Wm. Mur-
phy; secretary, Alex. Ostendorp; treas-
urer, E. A. Foster and director, Her-
bert Greensmith.

The club had as its guest Pres.
Philpott and Sec. Pyfer of the Chicago
Florists' Club. As is customary with
everyone from that town they boosted
Chicago and the Chicago Special,
which will pass through this city on
the way to the convention at Balti-
more.

The outing committee, consisting of
Chas. H. Hoffmeister (chairman), Al.
Sunderbruch and Ray Murphy, gave a
general outline of the program for the
outing at Coney Island, July 20. There

will be a boys' ball game in the morn-
ing before luncheon; in the afternoon
races for all classes, tug of war,
bowling and baseball. Official pro-
gram will be ready within a few
days.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

Following the Boston Flower Show,
the Secretary of the American Rose
Society suggested the desirability of
preparing an accurate list of the roses
of American origin for permanent
record. One of the roses exhibited at
Boston and which has been filed with
us is the Madison, originated during
the year 1906, the parentage being a
cross between the Pearl, Bride and
Meteor.

There will be a general meeting of
the Rose Society at Baltimore at the
Society of American Florists' Conven-
tion in August. There are some mat-
ters that cannot be settled until that
meeting, pertaining to the prize
awards at Boston. The certificates of
merit have been forwarded to A. N.
Pierson, F. R. Pierson Co., and Robert
Scott & Son.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

The weekly exhibit of the Worces-
ter County (Mass.) Horticultural So-
ciety on June 22 was strong in small
fruits, peonies and herbaceous peren-
nial flowers.

The Rhode' Island Horticultural So-
ciety held its annual Rose and Straw-
berry Show in Elysium Hall, Provi-
dence on June 20th. The quality of
the exhibits was excellent throughout.

The Bar Harbor Horticultural Socie-
ty held a very fine midsummer flower
show at Bar Harbor, Me., last week.
The many fine private estates were
well represented by the high class
products of their expert gardeners, in
plants, flowers and fruit.

A RHODODENDRON SHOW.

Our cover illustration this week gives
a view of the rhododendron show by
John Waterer & Sons in the hall of
the Royal Horticultural Society, Lon-
don, a few weeks since.

As seen in the picture, the main
interest of the show was rhododen-
drons. Of these there were upwards
of 1,000 plants, and it was estimated
there were upwards of 50,000 blooms;
and in probably as good condition as
it is possible to show them. About
100 different varieties were staged,
and the principal sorts exhibited were
Pink Pearl (which formed the centre
of the two beds arranged in the mid-
dle of the hall right and left of the
main entrance) set up in a mass re-
lieved by the foliage of Japanese
Maples, and as a contrast to them
were plants of fine red varieties such
as Michael Waterer, Fred. Waterer,
Prometheus, Doncaster, etc. Opposite
the main entrance was a mass of the
beautiful old variety, Lady Eleanor
Cathcart, one plant of which was
about eleven feet high. Underneath
this was a fine group of Gomer Wat-
erer, which promises to take its place
as one of the finest hybrids in culti-
vation. Associated with, these was a
splendid mass of the new "Alice," a
variety raised from Pink Pearl, and
considered by many to be superior.
Mr. Waterer has a great opinion of it

as a florists' plant. In color it is a
lovely tint of pink rather deeper than
Pink Pearl, and while the flowers are
not quite so large individually as those
of Pink Pearl the truss is about the
same, and being more compact in form
it lasts longer in its full beauty.

All the well-known varieties, such as
Michael Waterer. Francis B. Hayes,
Strategist, Mrs. Tom Agnew, John
Henry Agnew, etc., etc.. were shown
in small groups, broken up with a
few very fine specimens of Japanese
maples, hollies, yews, conifers, etc. A
particularly pretty effect was obtained
by the use of the lovely semi-double
Rhododendron Fastuosum flore pleno,
in conjunction with the variety, Ever-
estianum. and others of similar
shades of lilac mixed with white sorts
such as Sappho, Madame Carvalho,
etc.

The exhibition was a considerable
undertaking, and the plants were sent
by rail practically in full bloom, up-
wards of sixty two-horse vans being
required to take them from the rail-
way to the hall. Besides rhododen-
drons, there were two fine masses of
Kalmia latifolia, and a very pretty bed
of Rhododendron azaleaoides or odora-
tum, as well as various other plants
such as Himalayan rhododendrons,
rare pines, pittosporums, Viburnum
plicatum, many varieties of vitis such
as Coignettiae, Henryii, flexuosa, etc.

The exhibition created a great in-
terest, and will doubtless lead to
others of a similar nature. Many visi-
tors said they had never seen the hall
look so beautiful.

During Recess

Chicago Florists' Picnic.
Arrangements for the annual picnic
of the Chicago Florists' Club, July
23rd, are now well under way. Two
trains on the Wisconsin division of
the Northwestern leave the new de-
pot at 11:00 and 12:15 and return at
8:29 and 9:28 p. m. Baseball will be
a feature and the wholesalers and the
retailers will strive against each other
for the honors. No printed programs
will be issued, but there will be rac-
ing, dancing and various sports with
prizes.

Chicago Baseball.
The Chicago Carnation Co.'s base-
ball team has been getting in some
effective work and doing credit to
their fine new suits of blue and white.
July 4th they won a return game with
M arley, score 14 to 8, and July 9th
defeated the Frankfort team 10 to 5.

Michell-Dreer Baseball Game.
The second game of the Seedsmen's
League series was played at Riverton,
N. J., on the Sth inst., resulting in a
victory for Michell. The Michells
took their opponents by surprise in
the first innings, and before the Dreer
boys had woke up scored four runs.
After that it was nip and tuck until
the seventh when Dreers got in two
runs and another in the eighth. Both
teams are above the average for ama-
teurs, and both played well. Pitching
on both sides fine. Michells appeared
to have the best of it on the stick,
and the steal and infielding, but not
much. The umpiring was something

fierce. Ask any of the players. The
score follows:

game to a bunch of city folks. We are
also privately informed that "those

RAILROAD GARDENING AS A PAY-
ING INVESTMENT.

An Address by Paul Huebner, Landscape

Gardener for the Reading R. R. Sys-

tern, before the Florists' club <>r

Philadelphia, .Inly 11th, 1911.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:— It
is a good many years now since I last
had the honor of addressing you on
the subject of "Railroad Gardening."
At that time — some eight or ten years
ago — there were not so many of the
railroad systems of the country that
had adopted this policy in which my
company was one of the pioneers. A
good many more have taken it up
since then, and you will no doubt be
glad to learn that the Reading has
taken no backward step, but has kept
steadily along on the same broad and
enlightened policy as it first mapped
out. You understand, of course, that
the hard-headed gentlemen who man-
age railroads, do so from a dollars
and cents standpoint — and look on
the embellishment of station grounds
and approaches from the dollars and
cents standpoint only — and not from
an aesthetic point of view. They real-
ize that it attracts travel and settle-
ment and by so doing not only helps
current revenue, but improves the
value of their real estate. Neverthe-
less, these managers are to be com-
mended for their breadth of view and
for their far-seeing good policy — even
from those of you who work for the
advancement of Horticulture in a
spirit of altruism for the public good.
The community which the Reading
serves are given constant pleasure by
this policy and are inspired thereby
to efforts of their own along horticul-
tural lines. The character of the ar-
chitecture of the stations has been
greatly improved of late years and
the surroundings have to conform.
Improved grounds and improved sta-
tions are two of the best advertise-
ments a road could have and worth
far more than their cost in that con-
nection. Safety and convenience come
first, of course; but elegance is equal-
ly desirable if the cost be not too
heavy.

I am often asked which is best for
work of this kind — shrubbery or bed-
ding plants. In reply to that I al-
ways answer that there is plenty of
room for both, and I use both freely.
When and where, depends, of course,
on the size of the space to be planted
— also on the surroundings. Shrub-
bery is generally most effective when
used as a background. When in
flower it is very attractive. But for
glowing effects and striking pictures
that will make the passengers sit up
and take notice and carry with them
strong impressions — strong enough to
make them talk about when they go
home — be their home near or far-
there is nothing like the brilliant can-
nas and geraniums and other tender
plants which make these erstwhile
dull and unsightly locations a glory
all summer long and carry the fame
of the Reading to the ends of the
earth. I receive letters from all over
the country from passengers who
write the company asking as to what
canna that was or what geranium that
was and so forth, showing very clear-
ly the strong impression made (even
from a flying train at 60 miles an
hour), and the good advertisement the
company gets out of it.

While there is no great change in

Railroad Oardenln

the policy of the road as to my depart-
ment nor in my management and
methods in same during the ten years
that have elapsed since I last ad-
dressed your club, there is some
change in the varieties of plants we
use. For instance: — in geraniums, we
used then, Madam Thibaut, for pink;
La Pilot, for scarlet; and La Favorite,
for white. Now these "best ones" of
their day, have been superseded by
La Glorieuse, as pink; John Doyle, as
scarlet; and Madame Buchner, as
white. We also use Abbe Schaeffer
as a scarlet, and Jean Viaud as a.
pink. These varieties not only have

I'aul Huebner
better flowers than the old ones; but
they are also more constant bloom-
ers. Salleroi is still our standby as
an edging.

In cannas we are now using Fuerst
Bismarck, King Humbert, Madame
Berat, Madame de Poitevine, Philadel-
phia, Admiral Avellan, Columbia, Ro-
busta and Italia. We still use Flor-
ence Vaughan a little; but for a good
yellow, Richard Wallace is the best
of them all.

We have made recently some very
effective beds with a combination of
ricinus, caladium and abutilon; and,
of course, we still use the coleus very
largely. A big coleus bed laid out in
a design is certainly a very gorgeous
sight. The big bed at Trenton Junc-
tion, for instance, is a good example
of what can be done with the coleus.

g at Reading, Pa.

A bed like this will take three thou-
sand plants; but they are easy to
grow and are inexpensive. The shrub-
bery in the background helps this sit-
uation very much, and, of course, the
lively green of the surrounding lawn
is indispensable. Imagine what a
dreary, uninteresting place this would
be without this blaze of color framed
in green and harmoniously toned by
its background of shrubbery! Take
again, the little triangle at the Termi-
nal Station in Philadelphia. This is
but a little patch, but it is the glimpse
of the unexpected which catches the
eye and pleases the traveler. This
bed is made of coleus, caladiums, ach-
ryanthes and alocasia. The clover-
leaf bed in the same patch is of geran-
iums, edged with ageratum, with a
yucca in the center. The work at
Langhorne Station is distinctive, as it
has a fine perspective, and has an ex-
cellent background of privet hedging.
Geranium John Doyle is used very
freely here in conjunction with coleus
beds.

I am still a strong believer in the
privet for hedging. We use the Cali-
fornia variety and find very little trou-
ble with its winter killing, about which
some complain. It has proven very
satisfactory with us, being a quick
grower, a beautiful glossy green, and
absolutely free from all insect pests.
We use this largely for wind-breaks
to prevent snow drifting in winter as
well as for ornamental purposes.
Even when it does freeze, it comes up
again from the roots. I do not use the
barberry except in mixed shrubberies.
I use the whole shrub family; but the
various spireas and deutzias are our
favorites. We also use the hardy hy-
drangea very profusely. Philadelphus,
weigela, hibiscus and Pyrus Japonica
are also freely used. In lilacs we
like Marie Le Graye best for white,
and for a dark one, Souvenir de An-
toine Spaeth. Madame Lemoine, a
double white one is also very fine.

I generally mingle evergreens with
the shrubbery, which latter are cut
out gradually, leaving the evergreens.
Trees are not largely used, chiefly be-
cause they would obstruct signals — a
very important matter; but where
they are permissible the Norway
maple is the one preferred. It is the
most uniform and is not so apt to
break if kept reasonably trimmed. We
trim our hedges twice a season only
for outside points; but elsewhere,
where they have to be always neat
and uniform, three or four times at
least.

HOLMES SEED CO., Harrisburg, Pa.

to the title of my story, "Railroad
Gardening as a Paying Investment,"
I think the fact that my company has
kept the system up enthusiastically
during ail the twenty-one years I have
been in their employ and are as keen
for it as ever, is striking evidence
that they have found it a paying in-
vestment. The territory over which I
have direct charge runs from Philadel-
phia to Williamsport; from Reading
to Harrisburg; from Reading to Allen-
town; from Philadelphia to Chestnut
Hill; from Philadelphia to Bound
Brook; from Philadelphia to Bethle-
hem; from Camden to Atlantic City
and Cape May, and several other
branches. If any of you feel like get-
ting away from the smoke, dust and
din of the city, and settling down
among healthful and pleasant sur-
roundings— and have the price — first
take a run along any of those lines
any fine day in summer; and if you
do not find something that will suit
both your desires and your dollars I
will be very much mistaken.

"Greetings nod Welcome you'll find there

before you.
And the oftener you come the more we'll

adore you."

The greetings of the blooming flow-
ers and the welcome of healthy sur-
roundings— with safe and perfect serv-

ice thrown in — for a very small con-
sideration. ,

HORTICULTURAL QUARANTINE.

Congressman Burnham has intro-
duced a bill "to regulate the importa-
tion and interstate transportation of
nursery stock, to enable the Secretary
of Agriculture to establish and main-
tain quarantine districts for plant dis-
eases and insect pests, to permit and
regulate the movement of fruits,
plants, and vegetables therefrom, and
for other purposes."

The bill provides that it shall be un-
lawful to import or offer for entry into
the United States from any foreign
country any nursery stock unless a
permit from the Secretary of Agricul-
ture or a satisfactory certificate of in-
spection from the proper official of the
country from which the importation is
made, to the effect that the nursery
stock is free from insect pests or in-
jurious diseases, but food articles and
nursery stock imported for scientific
or experimental purposes are excepted
from this regulation, when imported
under regulations prescribed by the
Secretary of Agriculture.

The Secretary of Agriculture is au-
thorized by the terms of the bill to
quarantine any State or Territory or
any portion thereof when he shall de-

termine the fact that a dangerous
plant disease or insect infestation ex-
ists there. The bill is sweeping and
explicit. It makes violation of the pro-
visions contained in it a misdemeanor
punishable by a fine not to exceed
$500, or imprisonment not to exceed
one year, or both such fine and im-
prisonment in the discretion of the
court. The sum of $25,000 is men-
tioned as the amount to be appropri-
ated to carry out the provisions of the

bill.

NEWS NOTES.

Glens Falls, N. Y.— A. J. Binley is
rebuilding and extending his exten-
sion plant. His patent flower box
holder is in increasing demand.

Doctor Little has the finest collec-
tion of orchids in this vicinity and is
constantly adding to it with new va-
rieties.

Syracuse, N. Y.— Park Superintend-
ent Campbell has suggested to the
Rose Society that Kirk Park be set
aside especially for a rose garden. It
has a rich soil and a considerable area
of sunny lowland peculiarly suited to
the planting of the Queen of Flowers.
The Rose Society is young, but full
of enthusiasm and proposes to make
this the Rose City as its sister city,
Rochester, is well named the Flower
City.

ST. LOUIS NOTES.

Charles Schoenle spent a few days
in Kansas City this week with the
Million Club.

C. C. Sanders has returned from a
trip to Chicago where he purchased
material for a new green house.

Fred C. Weber of St. Louis and S.
S. Skidelsky of Philadelphia spent ten
davs recently at French Lick Springs,
Ind.

.Miss Matilda Meinhardt. who is trav-
eling in Europe this summer expects
to return home the first part of Sep-
tember.

Edwin Westeman, F. H. Weber's
right hand man was married last wee
and is away on a bridal trip East for
two weeks.

The Ladies' Home Circle spent a
pleasant day's outing on July 10 at the

Louis. Mrs. John Steidle is president
of the Circle.

Fred Foster has wagered with W. C.
Smith that he could beat him in a
300-yard race at the St. Louis florists'
picnic. Mr. Smith has accepted the
wager. It will be a $5 hat.

State Vice-President Fred H. Weber
says that he has made arrangements
with the Pennsylvania R. R. at $32
for round trip St. Louis to Baltimore
convention with stop over privilege.

The Retail Florists' Association has
changed its meeting night to every
second Monday in the month. This

body is doing good work and should be
encouraged by a larger membership.

Otto Bourning, brother-in-law of H.
G. Berning, has had a sad loss in the
death of his little son. Harold. The
funeral took place on July 4th. The
trade extended their sympathy to the
bereaved parents.

says everything is in shape for the
Florists' picnic which takes place
Thursday, July 20. There will be two
ball games this year. Sanders' team,
who are the champions will again
play the Bentzen team and there will
be a short game between teams of
wholesalers and retailers. A special
foot race has been arranged between
"Billy" Smith and Fred Foster. The
winner gets a new hat. The young
folks will be well taken care of in
the way of games and there will be a
prize waltz for ladies. During the
day the wholesale quartette will sing.
Everything is free to florists and their
families. All expenses will be paid

^ When you employ a law-
yer in matters of importance
what do you consider most —
his fee or his services? No
man knows what his services
are worth better than a lawyer
and he seldom asks less than
their value. It is better to
have a good lawyer and pay
the price, than to have a poor
one and lose the case. Of
course, occasionally a poor
lawyer wins a case which you
might profit by, but if you
strike an average you will in-
variably find the good lawyer
is the most economical to em-
ploy by far. In buying lily
bulbs or any kind of bulbs it
is more economical to buy the
best you can in regard to
quality. Every grower will
realize this if he stops to think.
Now is the time to consider
lily bulbs from storage for fall
flowering. When fall comes
vou will wish you had them
and it is better to have them
than to wish you had.

Seed Trade

The Seedsmen's Convention.
Seed trade matters have been some-
what neglected for the past few weeks,
and the proceedings of the Seeds-
men's Convention were not reported
as fully as the importance of the mat-
ters considered deserved. Many of
the papers are worthy of being care-
fully read and studied, while others
not of a technical character deserve
special mention because of their treat-
ment of matters of general interest
to all including the ladies and those
not personally identified with the seed
business. Such a paper was that of
Edgar Gregory, giving in brief and
almost statistical form a history_ of
Marblehead. Many of the historical
places mentioned by him were visited
by members and their friends whose
interest was aroused by his paper.

The President's address contained a
number of practical and useful sugges-
tions and their importance may be
appreciated when it is learned that a
special committee appointed to con-
sider them, recommended the adoption
of all. Mr. Page has set an example
which his successors will no doubt be
willing to follow in their annual ad-
dresses—more of a specific and practi-
cal character, and less generalization.
Like practically all similar organiza-
tions, the American Seed Trade Asso-
ciation annually appoints a number of
committees to work along certain
lines in the interests of the Associa-
tion, and these committees are expect-
ed to submit the results together with
such recommendations as they may
consider wise, at the next annual con-
vention. While some few always sub-
mit a report many others do not,
which is unfortunate as most of the
subjects claiming attention are Impor-
tant to the interests and prosperity of
the seed trade as a whole

The question box was revived at
this convention and many pertinent
and practical questions were asked,
not all of which received convincing or
satisfactory answers. Of technical
papers, those of Prof. Wheeler of
Rhode Island, and Dr. Woods of Maine
easily took the lead.

A new feature, and one which seems
to have been greatly appreciated, was
the reading of telegraphic crop re-
ports at the Thursday morning ses-
sion Whoever this innovation is to
be credited to deserves a vote of
thanks, as the comments were unani-
mously appreciative. This ought to be
an important feature of every future
convention, and should be extended
to include cabled reports from the
leading European seed growers.

Crop News.
Crop news is not of a rosy charac-
ter, and there has been considerable
change in conditions in the brief in-
terval since the convention, mainly of
an unsatisfactory nature, but even
now nothing definite can be said ot
any item, not even peas, which will
require several weeks more to reach
maturity, and during which time much
damage may befall the crop as a
whole, while it has reached such a
stage of development that but little
time is left for improvement. From
information at hand, we believe har-

vesting of Alaskas and the Extra Early
varieties will begin between July -15th
and 20th, but it will be some weeks
vet before the late varieties will be
harvested. Doubtless some- sort of es-
timate of the earlies will be possible
within a few weeks, but anything ap-
proaching definite percentages will
not be possible before September or
October. Enough is known to make
it clear that the pea crop as a whole
has suffered quite serious damage,
particularly in view of the intense
heat of the past weeks.

Some Pea Advice.

Anyone who is on the short side on
peas should cover if possible, and not
quibble over prices, as any figures
quoted now may look low in a few
weeks' time. We offered this advice
last year and those who followed it
had reason to be thankful. The trou-
ble we apprehend will be to secure
offerings from reliable growers, and
right here we warn all against buying
from and but well known and repu-
table sources. Don't be tempted by
attractive prices or samples. The
leading experts of the world cannot
state with confidence what the crop
will be by a sample of seed, and we
don't use the word, "crop" in the sense
of quantity, but of quality and charac-
ter. Many seedsmen and canners who
were tempted by low prices from un-
known or questionable sources have
chewed the cud of repentance ever
since and assert with great vigor,
"never again!" Let us hope not.

Government Crop Report.

The last Government crop report in-
dicates quite accurately the general
crop situation, not only affecting
grains and potatoes, but practically all
crops east of the Rocky Mountains.
This report shows that field corn has
been severely injured, that a continua-
tion of the heat and drouth another
week or ten days would be really dis-
astrous. We may be sure that if field
corn is suffering to this extent it must
be at least as bad with sweet corn and
in all probability the latter has suf-
fered worse damage than the former.
Vine seeds have unquestionably suf-
fered severe damage, although we
have been unable to get anything of
an authentic character up to this writ-
ing. We should like to be optimistic,
but due regard for the truth and the
facts compels us to state that the out-
look at the present time is about as
discouraging for seedsmen's crops as
they have ever been at this time of
year. Of course, California products
"are an exception, and, barring sweet
peas, the crop situation in California
is fairly satisfactory.

comment on the outlook for potatoes,
which according to the Government
report is the lowest in a quarter of a
century. In many of the western
states the crop is a virtual failure,
and it looks now as if a dollar a
bushel for eating stock will not be
considered high next fall.

Important!

With further reference to the New
York seed bill, we are advised by M.
H. Duryea that the bill has been
passed by both the Assembly and the
Senate and now awaits the signature
of the Governor. Any protests on the
bill should be filed immediately with
Governor Dix at Albany.

It is hoped that all the New York
seedsmen will protest vigorously.

Personal.

R. Nicholson is no longer connected

Walter Mott has taken a position

A. T .Boddington and family of

The European Situation.

Nothing new regarding the Euro-
pean situation has come to hand and
probablv there will be little change in
the news until after the crops are har-
vested, when something definite will
be known. As "hope springs eternal."
we must continue to hope for the best
and trust that the final result will not
be as discouraging as present condi-
tions indicate.

Washington, D. C. — Business is
very dull in Washington. There has
been a large exodus to vacation re-
sorts, and the prospect of an adjourn-
ment of Congress in about thirty days
more helps to depress business. Stock
is in fair supply, but it has been seri-
ously affected by the heat, and the hail
storm of last week did some damage
to plants and garden truck growing in
the open. Prices are essentially un-
changed. Most of the florists, having
a little leisure, have been putting in
new window displays, in most of
which water lilies and mimic pools
with rustic settings of rocks, ferns
and bark play a prominent part.

CHICAGO NOTES.
Fire Loss.

The N. C. Moore Greenhouse Co.,
of Morton Grove, 111., had the misfor-
tune to lose its greenhouse plant by
fire, at noon, July 4th. A year ago
Mr. Moore, who is an engineer, had
a large new boiler shed built in the
most approved method and this as
well as the most of the houses is a
complete loss. The water is drawn
from a well by means of gasoline en-
gines and a tank of 60 gallons was on
the top of the well. This exploded,
shutting off the water supply and con-
nection was made at Plant B of the
Poehlmann Bros. Co. a long distance
away. An unusually fine stock of
young carnation plants were ruined
and a quantity of hay and rye were
also lost. A slight leak in the pipes
near the tank is supposed to have
been the cause of the disaster.
To Educate the Public.

The wholesalers and retailers are
being approached by representatives
of the Chicago Tribune in behalf of a
scheme which will educate the people
with a more liberal use of flowers and
thereby add to their sales. The florists
are not unanimous in their way of
regarding it. some thinking the Trib-
une much more apt to see results than
themselves for the proposition means
an outlay of thousands of dollars.
Others are willing to wait for future
results and pay the price for the edu-
cation of the public. The matter is
still open.

Flower Market Reports.

In common with the
BOSTON greater part of the coun-
try Boston has been swel-
tering in a summer broil unprecedent-
ed for severity and duration. Flowers
are very poor in consequence and but
few are being sent in. The demand
is very light and is limin-d to the
small proportion of salablr material
received. The ordinary ruu of roses,
carnations and sweet peas arc unload-
ed with much difficulty on the street
fakirs. Cattleyas, lilies and lily of
the valley are of satisfactory quality
as a rule.

This section has had its
BUFFALO share of the hot weather,

which has caused stock
to arrive in bad condition. There has
been plenty of everything in season,
though the supply is gradually falling
off, especially in the carnation line.
Beauties have been fine, but only in
light demand the past ten days. Mary-
laud, Kaiserin and Carnots have had
the preference. Lilies have had their
share in the demand and some good
giganteum, auratum and magniflcum
have been arriving and sell well. Lily
of the valley was in good supply, peas
in over supply and there was plenty of
snapdragon, cornflowers and swainso-
na as well as plenty of greens.

The first week in July
CHICAGO was an exceptionally

good one for the season.
Shipping trade was particularly active
and all stock that could by any means
be classified as approaching first class
was quickly uesd up. The demand
for lilies has been unusual and one or
two growers who had a summer crop
of callas found them good sellers,
many preferring them to Harrisii
which now have so many buds. The
few gladioli now being cut sell read-
ily, preference being given to the best
varieties. Asters do not amount to
much yet, only a few straggling
bunches being in the market. Early
asters do not give promise of playing
a prominent part this summer, grow-
ers evidently having planted but few.
Carnations that are fair for the sea-
son sold readily last week. Roses, of
which the Killarney family form the
bulk, are small and stems average
short. Some of the best, however,
sold as high as 12c. during the week.
Richmond, though not a summer rose
has in other years proved of more
service than in this one. New Beau-
ties are beginning to come in and are
cut with good stems. Comparatively
few out of door flowers are coming in,
owing to the hot weather. Green
goods sell well and there has been
plenty so far, with the exception of
smilax. The second week in July
opened very dull.

Prices on stock in
CINCINNATI this market are hold-
ing up better than at
this time in past years. This is be-
cause there is only a limited amount
to be had. Sometimes the good stuff
cleans up quickly and runs short,
while at others its sale is languid.
Combined with this there has been a
torridity of weather that has made life
unbearable for man and flower. In
roses the cut of white has shortened
slightly, while pink especially have in-
creased. Lilies and gladioli have been
very good property, and on most occa-

sions run short of the demand. A few
local indoor asters have appeared, but
they are still a negligible quantity.
Some carnations, mostly Enchantress,

are still offered. The above men-

Flower Market Reports

(Continued from page Hi)

Under presenl condi-
NEW YORK tions of weather and

business there is
really little of interest or value to be
communicated concerning the flower
market. All roses, carnations and
sweet peas are in the worst possible
shape and choice stock of either is
almost an impossibility. The finest
product for the time being is the Cat-
tleya gigas. These are superb and
seem to revel in the heated atmo-
sphere. At the other extreme of the
cattleya class are the C. Gaskclliana,
which on account of their small size,
etc., bring only about one-quarter of
the price willingly paid for the gigas.
Of lilies and lily of the valley there
are an abundance and they are usual-
ly good, although some poor material
is received in both classes. Gladioli
begin to assert themselves, bub the
flowers are small. The wholesale
houses are almost empty, very little
stock of any kind coming in and most
of them close at 4 p. m. daily.

Business has fall-
PHILADELPHIA en off very much,

and conditions
are now down to a real sum-
mer basis. To keep pace with this,
many growers are throwing out
their stock preparatory to replant-
ing and consequently have little to
ship. The weather has been excessive-
ly warm, and much of the outside
stuff usual at this time of year is dried
up. Sweet peas are one of the prin-
cipal crops affected and are very poor
at present. Asters have not improved
much during the past ten days. Lilies
are in good shape and thankfully re-
ceived. Another good thing is the
double white petunia. About once
every three years the growers of these
hit it right and get good money. But
they don't go if there be anything bet-
ter in sight. Out door gladioli have
now commenced — varieties like May,
Augusta and Brenchleyensis being
seen in quantity. Another favorite
subject is the light lavender Centau-
rea imperialis. All roses are below
standard except American Beauty.
These are about the best value on the
market — the sales of same being as
satisfying as could be expected. Gar-
denias are very poor and very scarce.
Orchids have shortened up consider-
ably. The hot weather has been pret-
ty hard on field-grown carnation
plants.

Midsummer dullness is
ST. LOUIS now upon the flower

trade. The wholesale
markets are dull, with very little good
stock coming in. Gladioli, lily of the
valley and lilies are about the only
good stock in sight. Carnations are
very scarce. Roses seem plentiful but
small and soft. Asters bring $5, and
tuberose stalks $5.

Long continued
WASHINGTON heat, with only an
occasional shower
the effects of which were fleeting,
brings vegetation to a sorry pass
around Washington. As a consequence
local supply of cut flowers is decidedly
poor. Retailers report that they find
trade unsatisfactory and stagnant.
Phlox, asters, dahlias and other gar-
den flowers are in rather unsatisfac-
tory condition. Wild flowers from
the corners of the worm fences are
displayed attractively by the florists.
Summer roses are fairly good, con-
sidering everything. The first Beau-
ties, while small, are fairly satisfac-
tory. White carnations are scarce.
Lily of the valley of good quality is
coming in plentifully. Harry Kirk
makes a welcome addition to the yel-
low roses available.

PERSONAL.

Friends who have felt concerned
about the recent illness of David
Welch, of Welch Bros., Boston, , will
be pleased to learn of his arrival at
his destination, Mallow, Ireland, in
good health and spirits, on July 5.

Mr. Velie, who has now fully recov-
ered from his operation, will resume
his duties in charge of the Boston
office of Lord & Burnham Co., next
Monday, and Mr. De Forest, who has
been in charge during Mr. Velie's ill-
ness will return to New York.

W. H. Eiss, who has been connected
with the W. F. Kasting Co., Buffalo,
for some time, has severed his con-
nection with that firm. Mr. Eiss has
been in ill health for sometime and
left last Tuesday for a trip to the
northwest where he has interests in
mining. The craft wish him every
success.

It is rumored that A. J. Guttman is
soon to reenter the wholesale cut
flower business at 114 W. 28th St. New
York.

Bedford, Mass. — Norris F. Comley,
who four years ago leased the green-
house establishment of Fred. Parker,
has relinquished the lease to Mr. Par-
ker and sold him the crop which con-
sists of about thirty tons of tomatoes
under glass. Lack of needed water
supply, Mr. Comley states, was his
reason for giving up the place. He
will concentrate his efforts on his own
plant in Lexington, Mass., hereafter,
and has purchased the glass for a
large house which he will add this
season.

Cincinnati florists who are away or
going away on trips are as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Peterson for Scan-
dinavia, Denmark and Germany; Max
Rudolph and Henry Schwartz for Ger-
many and possibly France; Fred Gear
to Rochester, N. Y., with the Shriners;
Geo. Tromey to Atlantic City, with the
Elks. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Herhman
and daughter of Covington, Ky., to
Chicago and Alex Ostendorp to Wash-
ington and in Virginia on the
Potomac.

Philadelphia Visitors: Mr. Tromey,
prop. Tromey's Flower Shop, Cincin-
nati, O. (on his way to the Elks Con-
vention, Atlantic City, where he has
the contract to decorate chair for Ex-
alted Grand Ruler); Mr. Conlon, of the
Connelley, McCarthy Co., Charleston,
S. C .; Chas. Vorkeller, So. Bethlehem,
Pa.; lames Brown, of Corbesville, Pa.

CABBAGE KEPT FREE FROM WORMS.

DRAKES GARDEN.

East Brookfield, Mass., Jan. 14, 1905.

We have used Slug Shot ami always found it

very useful. ' Our potato crop yielded 200 bushels

to the acre. Slug .Shot for Cabbage Worms is the

best defense in t lie world.

Very truly, F. A. DRAKE.

Cabbage Worms.

The Cabbage Worm lias spread wherever cab-
Butterfly and Larva, huge is grown. Whether early cabbage or late

cabbage, in garden or held, it perforates the plant, and is of all worms one of the

most disgusting, to find hidden away in the folds of the leaf.

IF YOU WANT CABBAGE FREE FROM WORMS, USE HAMMOND'S SLUG SHOT.

Hotv to Destroy Cubbflfje Worms. — Slug Shot can be used lightly or heavily and the cabbage
suffers no harm. The cabbage forms its head by the interior growth ; it throws off its earlier and outside
leaves, and no dust can enfold within its head. Apply Slug Shut with a Duster (see illustration), sieve it
over the plants or full grown cabbages. The powder is very fine and goes a long way in field or garden.

RARE LILIES

FROM CHINA

tiardy, Beautiful, Fragrant. The Finest Novelties Extant

I— i I i «_i r-»-» myriophyllum
AWARDED SILVER MEDAL BY MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. JULY 15. 1911.

I II II IM MVDinDUVI I IIIM Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant collector, collected
fc.li-IUm mi nlWrPlf LLUIfl for us tne buibs now offered, in North-western
China. He considers this the finest of all lilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing. It has
been predicted that this will become the Easter Lllv of the future, and being so hardy, may be grown at
home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink and with a beautiful shade of canary yellow at
the centre, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one of the
jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor of most lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early In July.
Orders booked now for October delivery. Bulbs each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.

The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson.
This is one of the strongest growing lilies —
frequently attaining a height of six to eight feet. The flowers vary in number from five to ten on a
. stalk, and in size and shape resembling Lillum Harrisil, greenish "white shaded purple on the outside,
and of the purest white within, with a tint of citron In the centre. The flowers have a pleasing
fragrance. This Illy will undoubtedly be largely used for outdoor planting as well as for forcing. Many
consider It the finest of all tubular-flowered lilies. It flowers somewhat later than Lillum myriophyllum,
and being of larger growth, has a distinct place.

Orders booked now for October delivery. Bulbs each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists' Stock

CALLAS

Don't neglect your richardias now. Shake all the
old soil off and pot up into 6 or 7 inch pots. Give them
a compost of three parts fibrous loam to one of well-
decomposed cow manure and a good dash of bone meal.
After the bulbs are potted they should be placed out-
doors in a frame with coal ashes to stand on. Care
should be exercised in watering for at this stage they
make roots rather slowly and are very likely to receive
too much water. Neither allow the plants to dry out
too much nor keep soaked with water, as one is as bad
as the other. When they have made some top growth
.-\ ringe them regularly every day, and fumigate when-
ever there are signs of thrips or fly. You can keep
them out in a frame until there is danger of frost.
Some time in September they can be given a place in
a well-lighted house that does not run below 60 degrees
at night.

MULCHING MIXTURE

Now is the time to prepare your mulching material
for fall and winter use, on all such crops as roses, car-
nations, etc. By getting the material ready now it will
save time and some anxious worry later on. In pre-
paring this mulch make it rich. I would say let it con-
sist of two parts of well-decomposed cow manure to one
part of good fibrous soil. You will have to chop it up
quite fine and make it up into a neat pile and let it
stand for about three weeks and then turn it over three
or four times at intervals of about every ten days, when
it will be in a fine mellow condition to put through a
94-inch screen. This should then be stored away un-
der a shed or any other place where the rain and snow
will not reach it. Where you want to use bone meal
or other fertilizing material this can be added at any
time before applying. Having this mulch in good
condition and in a handy place under cover constitutes
one of the first elements of success in growing good
flowers.

PANSIES

From now until August 20th pansy seed for spring
use should be sown, but as a general rule with a ma-
jority of florists the first week in the next month is the
date selected. Buy the large-flowering strains and sow
in a cold frame. Make a compos! of loam and leaf mold
in equal parts and add about one-third of well-decayed
manure. After digging over your frames, place about
four inches of the above mixture, for, to grow pansy to
perfection you simply must give a soil of high fertility.
Shade the frames with whitewashed sash or, what is
still better, lath shutters, with laths about half an inch
apart. Sow the seed in drills about four inches apart.
After the seedlings have made their second pair of leaves
they can be thinned out to stand about four inches apart
and the others that you have thinned out can be trans-

planted into other frames of rich soil. Be sure to keep
the beds moist and clear of weeds.

PAINTING AND REPAIRING

A few reminders about painting and repairing will
not be out of place now. Summer is the best time for
this kind of work, when houses are dryer and
the weather such that you can give them full exposure
to the drying air. You can make all such work more
tolerable by shading your house or by placing some
covering over the roof during torrid weather. All neces-
sary work to put houses in good condition before the
approach of cold weather should be done now. There
is nothing worse than leaky and draughty houses. Give
a general inspection as to painting, puttying, and re-
pairing; examine boilers, fire-boxes and grates, also give
piping a thorough going over and readjust ventilators
and all other machinery. If you take note you will
find that the most prosperous growers are always those
who put their houses in proper shape before the cold
weather sets in.

RAMBLER ROSES

When Ramblers have made a long and stout growth
they should be put outside to ripen up their wood.
Place them on some material which they will not root
into for you do not want them to make any more growth
but to give them a gradual ripening up. Great care
should be taken not to harden up the wood too earlv.
Don't let them wilt on account of the lack of moisture
in the soil, but keep them watered for some time yet
as from now until the end of August they are making
buds that will give you fine trusses of bloom for next
Easter. See that each plant has room to allow plentv
of Hght and air around it. By the end of August you
can begin to shorten up on the water and by the time we
begin to have cold weather they will be nicelv ripened
up.

SOLANUMS

Berried solanums that are in the field should be en-
couraged to make rapid and bushy growth. Those that
seem to be making too much top growth should have
their tops pinched out. During the next six weeks
these plants, if on well enriched land, will make fine
large and bushy stock. Keep the soil well-stirred which
will help these plants during the dry part of the sum-
mer and keep them growing right along. If the weather
is very dry it would be wise to use the hose where pos-
-iMc. When watering them give one good and thorough
watering and that will suffice for at least ten davs.
Merely sprinkling the plants should not be practicedas
it does more harm than good. These plants can be
lifted and potted up the last of August or early in
September. Keep them freely syringed and shaded for
a few days and they will soon become established.

Ualets; Bougainylllens: I> isies; Gardenias; Schlzanthus.

Convention ,, ,,,,,, .-,„,] program for the ' eiitioi)

time 0f the Society of American Florists and

Ornamental Horticull eminds us

thai i he t line for tl al importanl annual event i- almost
here. The program for the various sessions al Haiti-
more, as given, affords but little idea of the interest and
significance that will attach to the meetings and the
matters of vital import, to ornamental horticulture
which will receive attention. For the majority of mem-
bers no doubt the special sectional session- arranged
for Thursday will present the greatest attraction, each
individual being drawn to that department most closely
touching his own welfare. While these divided meet-
ings may be numerically small they are, however, likely
to accomplish much more in a practical way than is the
case with large mass gatherings such as have been the
rule at most S. A. F. Conventions in the past and we
think the Society will do well to still farther enlarge
upon this sort of Convention activity from year to year.
More detail as to what topics are to be discussed in the
sectional meetings would seem to be desirable in this
preliminary program. A little more meat in the docu-
ment would have added considerably to its persuasive
value in stimulating attendance at Baltimore.

From advices received from time to time it
Don't is jn eivdence that local Convention prepa-
miss it rations are being carried forward with com-
mendable diligence. The Baltimore spirit
of hospitality is something more than an emotion — it is
business with the Baltimorean and the orderly system
and masterly grasp of details which they have attained
was well evidenced on the occasion of the side visit to
Baltimore al the time of the Washington Convention
ami previously tit the American Carnation Society's
meeting. The trade exhibition, also to some extent un-
der local direction, is an assured phenomenal success as
a perusal of the list of amounts of space already spoken
for will show. This exhibition is now, in truth, the
strongest support of the S. A. V. I onvention as an all-
importanl annual event, from a trade standpoint. When
it is considered thai this is the second big display of
ind within five months — both in eastern territory —
the attitude of the leading manufacturers, growers and
deahis in horticultural goods aitd of the purchasing ele-
mi nl in the trad, towards thi- feature a- a lui-niess en-
terprise musl be obvious. The absence of any dealer
this affair now, savors of business suicide and the
consumer who □ isses this golden opportunity to keep
in touch with what is new and improved is making a
sthj mistake.

Lady Carnation Exhibitors.

Amongst 1 lie carnation exhibits was
an interesting collection staged by the
Thatcham Fruit and Flower Farms,
near Newbury, Berks. This is an un-
dertaking which owes its origin to
the enterprise of two ladies, Miss
Hughes-Jones and Miss Peers. Some
ten years ago they rented an
old farm-house and a field. With
the assistance of some students
they erected glass houses and frames.
A successful market garden on the
French intensive lines was subsequent-
ly established. About five acres of
land are under cultivation, with about
700 feet of glass. The leading varie-
ties of carnations are being cultivated
"i! Hie American system; these are
supplied to the London shops. Judg-
ing from 1 he quality of the dowers
staged a very high cultural standard
has been reached. Lady studi nls are
trained in all branches of commercial
horticulture at this nursery. Women
are invading all professions on this
side of the Atlantic, and already there
are several who are profitably engaged
in nursery and market gardening
work. A woman gardener has built
up a lucrative mail order conci rn; she
bes a large number of customers
through the medium of the religious
press Another lady has worked up a
good business as a landscape gardener,
in which she finds full scope for her
artistic abilities. Recently a very at-
tractive show was held in London in
connection with the Women's Agri-
cultural and Horticultural I'nion.
Amongst the varied displays were some

DUES.

All members should send in their
dues in advance and secure their cer-
tificates and badges and so avoid the
necessity of waiting at the Secretary's
office to pay their assessment. This
will also be a great convenience to the
Secretary, who has many other duties

to perform. Dues cannot be paid
while meetings are in progress. A
badge and membership receipt are
absolutely necessary before any in-
dividual can sign the roll and receive
invitation cards for any of the enter-
tainments. This rule will be strictly
enforced. Badges will also be neces-
sary in order to get into the Exhibi-
tion Hall. All not having badges will
be required to pay the admission fee.

On receipt of $3.00 from those who
have paid their 1910 dues or $5.00 from
all others, the Secretary will promptly
mail to the sender a certificate and
badge. Bring your certificate to the
Convention with you.

Send your dues now to the Secretary,
H. B. Dorner, Urbana, 111.

BOSTON TO BALTIMORE.

The Boston delegation to the S. A.
P. convention in Baltimore will leave
the South station, Sunday, August 13,
at 6 P. M. The trip will be made by
way of the Fall River boat which
should make this route especially pop-
ular. The delegation will arrive in
New York about 7 A. M. on the 14th,
leaving at noon with the New York
delegation due to arrive in Baltimore
at 4.16 P. M. The Belvidere Hotel, the
official S. A. F. headquarters, will be
headquarters for the Boston delega-
tion. The fare will be $8.50 going, by
the certificate plan. 3-5 rate return.
Reservations for staterooms etc., can
be made through W. A. Hastings, State
Vice-President, S. A. F., Boston Flower
Exchange, C Park street, up to August
11. This should be a good chance for
those florists who are not members of
the S. A. F. to put in their application
for membership through the State
Vice-President.

It is expected that Boston will turn
out a good-sized crowd, especially as
they have a favorite candidate for the
S. A. F. presidency in J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar, whose good and faithful work
on the National Flower Show is deeply
appreciated not only by the Boston
people but by the fraternity in all
parts of the country.

NEW YORK TO BALTIMORE.

As the time is drawing near when
the work in the greenhouse is less, it
gives us time to think of the conven-
tion of the S. A. F. and O. H. This
is an event in which every "live"
florist should be interested. To perfect
the necessary arrangements, John B.
Nugent, President of the New York
Florists' Club has appointed a very
much alive transportation committee,
Frank H. Traendly, chairman, and
this committee has left nothing undone
to make this the banner year en-route
to the Convention City. They have
arranged for a special train, the best
equipped on the B. & O. R. R. to con-
vey the members and their friends to
Baltimore. Train leaves West 23d St.,
11.50 a. m., and foot of Liberty St. at
noon on Monday August 14th. At the
last meeting of the club a resolution
was passed extending an invitation to
members and friends of the S. A. F.
and O. H. and their guests en-route to
Baltimore.

The fare on the certificate plan will
be $4.65 going and return $2.80. Do not
miss this opportunity. Those of us who
attended the convention at Rochester
still have in mind the enjoyment we
had en-route, and Mr. Traendly has as-

sured me that this trip will outclass
that of last year. Those who are not
in. rubers of the S. A. F. and O. H. or
the New York Florists' Club should
not hesitate a moment in announcing
their intention of attending, and
should let Mr. Traendly know so he
can make the necessary arrangements
for accommodation. Every florist can
arrange his work so that he can be
with us, to meet brother florists from
all parts of the United States and Can-
ada, and the exhibition, I am sure, will
well repay you.

Application blanks for membership
will gladly be furnished. Do not for-
get the date.

Hoping to have the largest attend-
ance that ever left New York City,
With kindest greetings,

A. L. MILLER,

State Vice-President, New York-
East.

A NEW ENGLAND BEAUTY SPOT.

One year ago we gave a description
of the work of improvement and de-

David F. Rot

velopment being done on the fine
estate of Col. H. E. Converse at
Marion, Mass., on the shores of Buz-
zard's Bay. "The Moorings," as the
place is appropriately named, com-
prises about 80 acres of elevated un-
dulating land well clothed with lux-
uriant woods, the broad verandas of
the mansion overlooking the gardens
and a sea view of rare beauty.

The superintendent in charge of the
estate is David F. Roy, and in our
notes last year we described briefly
some of the more important work he
was doing in bringing up the grounds
and plantations to a high horticultural
standard during the three or four
years since Col. Converse had ac-
quired it. We have been familiar with
Mr. Roy's ability as a gardener for
many years, but must confess we were
not prepared for the wonderful re-
sults of one year's further develop-
ment which were in evidence when we
recently revisited The Moorings, the
achievement being all the more re-
markable because of the well-known
sandy and unproductive character of
Cape Cod's soil. The improvements
carried forward in the past year in-

clude a broad expanse of velvety lawn
wto re last year was a potato field, the
completion of a tennis court, said to
be one of the best in the country, the
extension and planting of the aquatic
pools and picturesque rockeries, the
planting of large groups and skirtings
of rhododendrons and conifers and
the finishing up of a spacious rose
garden enclosed by hedges of the new-
est and best of the Ramblers. The
flower garden is extensive and ex-
ceedingly brilliant, the fruit houses
arc tilled with luscious product and
on every side the transformation ac-
complished in so brief a period is a
delightful surprise. This is one of the
estates in competition for the Hunne-
well Triennial Premium, and the
present is its third year of inspection
by the Garden Committee of the Mass-
achusetts Horticultural Society. These
premiums are awarded for improve-
ments and skilful care, and are a
stimulus to ambitious effort on the
part of proficient gardeners such as
D. F. Roy, aided and abetted by the
unstinted liberality and encouraging
comradeship of "the best employer in
the world," as Col. Converse is loving-
ly portrayed by his faithful adherent,
and we are sure that nothing but death
will ever part these two congenial
friends.

IN A HARTFORD GARDEN.

In a recent visit to the garden of
the Goodwin estate at Hartford,
Conn., we were much interested in
the method followed by that accom-
plished gardener, J. F. Huss, in rais-
ing dahlias in pots for exhibition.
The' plants are grafted, each on a
single tuber which has been cut off
below the eye. The result is dwarf,
bushy specimens, symmetrical and
beautiful. The pots are plunged out-
side. Among the bedding begonias
we were greatly impressed with Perle
de Geneve. It forms a veritable ball
of vermilion pink bloom, compact and
very uniform and has gone through
this exceptional summer in perfect
condition. Another striking picture
is a bed of heliotrope La Duse. It is
dwarf and sturdy in habit and pro-
duces enormous flat spikes of rich
dark color. No grower of bedding
plants should omit this fine heliotrope
from his list. Mr. Huss says that its
only fault is that he finds it rather
hard to winter.

Dianthus Chinensis Vesuvius makes
a dazzling edging for a long mixed
border. The individual plants vary
occasionally in color but the type is
dazzling scarlet. The flowers are
single with deeply laciniated petals
and very profuse. It is one of Haage
& Schmidt's introductions.

The fern rockery at this place is
always a most interesting and inspir-
ing sight. Every variety of hardy
ferns obtainable in any part of the
world have been assembled here in
picturesque groups and masses and
the sportive filix-f j mina is seen in
most astonishing and almost endless
variations. The rose garden, than
li there is none better kept in
this country, has been very fine this

Mr. Huss says that the slaughter of

conifers last winter was the worst in

his experience. This accords with

mts generally from all sections of

eastern United States.

MASSACHUSETTS HORTICUL-
TURAL SOCIETY.
The annual sweet pea exhibition on
Saturday and Sunday, July 15-16, in
Horticultural Hall, Boston, was not as
large as in previous years owing to
the great heat and the unprecedented
drouth of the last few weeks, which
have shriveled up and seriously af-
fected the growth of all flowers. J. O.
Christensen, gardener for the estate of
W. J. Clemson of Taunton, had a fine
display of sweet peas, two tables be-
ing filled. This display won ten first
prizes. Frederick Mason with a less
extensive display won two firsts, one
second and one third.

The sensation of the show was the
contribution of new lilies from China
by R. and J. Farquhar & Co. These
were all collected by E. H. Wilson and
included were a number now flowered
for the first time in cultivation, some
as yet unnamed. Of one of these, a
most beautiful new species which Mr.
Wilson has named Farquhari, we shall
have more to say in our next issue.
The lovely L. myriophyllum was rep-
resented by an extensive display of
cut blooms, with a background of
Japan iris, hemerocallis and other sum-
mer flowers and received the honor of
a silver medal. Messrs. Farquhar
were also awarded a certificate of
merit for everlasting pea White Pearl.
A splendid group of Japan irises
was shown by Dr. Harris Kennedy.

The fruit and vegetable displays
were very fine, Wilfrid Wheeler, Wil-
liam Whitman, W. J. Clemson, Geo. V.
Fletcher, W. G. Kendall, Fred'k Ma-
son, Oliver Ames, Warren Heustis &
Son and T. J. Grey Co., being the
leading prize winners. The last
named showed Grey's Perfection cu-
cumber in fine form.

ST. LOUIS FLORIST CLUB.

The monthly meeting, July 13, 1911,
was well attended. After all the rou-
tine work had been finished the trus-
tees reported on the coming picnic and
that all arrangements were completed.
The bulletin committee reported that
the first year was completed and that
the Bulletin had been a success and
recommended it be continued. The
secretary read a telegram from Secre-
tary Pyfer of the Chicago Florists'
Club, asking the delegates to the S. A.
F. meeting to Baltimore to travel via

B. & O. R. R. and meet their special
at Cincinnati. This was turned over
to the transportation committee.. The
chair then announced the nomination
of officers. Robert J. Windier was
nominated for president and C. E. De-
Wever for vice-president. For secre-
tary, J. J. Beneke and for treasurer,
W. C. Smith. For a three-year term
trustee J. F. Ammann and F. A.
Weber, and for a one-year trustee W.

C. Young and C. C. Sanders. Election
of officers will take place August 10th.

PITTSBURGH FLORISTS' AND GAR-
DENERS' CLUB.

The regular monthly meeting of this
club was held on July 11th. It did not
develop that the club would be very
largely represented at Baltimore. On
the certificate plan, the cost for the
round trip will be $13.05. The use of
mileage would make the cost slightly
cheaper, and there might be an oppor-
tunity to take advantage of the At-
lantic City excursion rates.

Those desiring further information
should call at the Pittsburgh Cut
Flower Co., 121 7th street, and if it
should later prove that the attendance
would warrant, a car could easily be
procured.

On the question of a club picnic
President Jones appointed E. C. Reine-

COST OF PLANTING AND CARING
FOR ORCHARDS.

It will be of interest to the people
of this vicinity who are thinking of es-
tablishing orchards in the near future
to know the cost of starting and car-
ing for young orchards. One of the
purposes of the Demonstration Or-
chards established by the Massachu-
setts Agricultural College is to collect
data on the cost of the various oper-
ations connected with orcharding.
Eight orchards have been planted thus
far and while the cost of planting va-
ries in different places owing to the
types of soil and labor conditions, the
data available covers nearly every con-
dition found in the state excepting
where land has to be cleared.

The cost of preparing five acres of
land and planting the trees thereon
varies from $40 to $59.75. This vari-
ation is easily explained. In the first
instance the land has been in plowed
crops the year previous, the men to do
the planting were more accustomed to
that kind of work and the owner was
more continuously in direct charge.
Most of the orchards were established
for less than $52. The orchard on
which $59.75 was expended for pre-
paring the land and planting, was es-
tablished on land that had been in sod
for some time and was sufficiently
stony to make the digging of holes
a difficult task. Then, too, the land
was prepared and trees planted with
hired help, at a cost of 50c per hour
for man and team and 17% to 20c per
hour for man. In all cases the cost of
labor was figured at prevailing prices.
As in all orchard operation the cost
depends largely upon the speed at
which men work and when the owner
is present who is also a good manager
of men, the cost can be greatly reduced.
In one case where representatives of

iih college wen- present, with a crew
of five, four of whom were inexper-
■ i ' ■ i lour acres of an orchard were
staked out in perfect lines in all
directions and 130 trees planted in less
than eight hours.

Basing the estimate upon the results
obtained in the Demonstration Or-
chards, it is possible for anyone to es-
tablish orchards with hired help in
almost any part of the state at a cost
not greatly exceeding $12, per acre for
small areas and proportionately less
as the area increases. Where exten-
sive orchards are being planted it is
possible to reduce the cost of prepar-
ation and planting to 6c per tree when
planted 20 feet apart.

A mot her interesting bit of infor-
mation that has been obtained from
the Demonstration Orchards is the
cost of the operations incident to the
first year's growth, and the possible
returns from associated crops planted.
The data from three orchards shows
the cost of caring for trees and the
associated crops to vary from $75 to
$156 and the value of the associated
crops was sufficient to so cover the
expenses that the net cost of estab-
lishing and caring for the orchard one
year, which includes preparation of the
land, planting the trees, and a reason-
able fertilizer bill, was under $4 per
acre. In the other orchard, one acre
of strawberries had been planted the
year before and with the other associ-
ated crops yielded a net profit of $25
per acre.

Without a doubt an orchard started
in Massachusetts and given proper
care can be made to pay for itself and
yield something in the way of interest
on the investment even before the or-
chard comes into bearing.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.

a century; of bulb growing.— a

memorial of the "Bloeuihof" nurseries
centenary (1811-1911). Bv Ernst H. Kre-
lage. (Head of the firm of E. H. Krelage
& Si. n of Haarlem).

This publication is, unfortunately
for most of our readers, printed in
Dutch. It is a filial tribute by the au-
thor to the work of his ancestors, who
took so large a part in the upbuilding
of the bulb industry in Holland. The
business of which he writes has come
down from father to son until the pres-
ent day and has been developed to one
of great extent and prosperity.

The first chapter in the book deals
with the Haarlem bulb industry in the
first years of the 19th century; chap-
ter second recounts the starting of the
business and its development till the
founder's death. The third covers the
period from 1855 to 1901, during which
the business was under the manage-
ment of the late Jacob Heinrich Kre-
lage. a man of great learning and
philanthropic usefulness. The last
chapter is devoted to the interim from
1901 up to the present time.

respectively.

The young ladies will be called upon
to show their ability to run 60 yards,
while the married ladies will run half
that distance. The fat men, weighing-
over 210 pounds, without whom the
picnic would not be really a picnic,
will run for the amusement of the
company, and a "free for all" in a 150
yard dash will complete the races.
Suitable prizes will be awarded to the

winners.

Washington Florists' Outing.
That the annual outing of the
Florists' Club of Washington was a
great success was the verdict given by
all who took the trip to the park at
Huntsville, Md., July 12. All kinds of
games and guessing contests enlivened
the day and the dinner which was
served greatly added to the general
good feeling.
Many of the stores closed early in
' the afternoon to allow the clerks and
others to participate in the festivities.
Four special cars of the W. B. & A. R.
R. were provided to carry them to
their destination. The visitors from
Baltimore went direct to the park
from their city and were greeted by
the local members at Huntsville.

The leading feature of the day was
the baseball game. The store people
were pitted against the market people
and but for the catcher, who had a
way of allowing the hot ones to slip
by him, the store people would doubt-
less have won. As it was the market
people won by a score of 4 to 3. The
store people, who performed prodigies
of valor, were as follows: George
Shaeffer, s. s.; Frank Ecker, 3b.; Al-
bert Booth, c; George Cooke, c. f. ;
William Smith, 2b.; Walter Hawley,
r. f.; Charles Scarborough, p.; Geo.
Daldish, 1. f.; Frank Smith, lb. It
certainly was a hot game. The win-
ners, who as already stated, really
ought to have lost (ask any of the
store people about this), got glory
enough without having their names
printed. They were fortunate in hav-
ing as a scorer Milton Thomas, of
Thomas & Sly. I. Rosnosky, salesman
for Michell, Philadelphia, acted as um-
pire during a portion of the game.
There were potato races, girls' races,

ing lots of refreshments.

The committee in charge of the ex-
cursion consisted of Messrs. Otto
Bauer, John Robertson, Jr., W. H.
Kimmell, Edward Schmidt and W. A.
Bolinger. Between 200 and 300 per-
sons attended.

The Dreer Picnic.
The annual picnic of the Henry A.
Dreer store employes to the firm's
grounds at Riverview took place on
the 15th inst.; some fifty or sixty
ladies and gentlemen taking the trip
and every one said they had had the
day of their lives. J. Otto Thilow of
the firm was only told of the matter
at noon, Saturday, but he managed to
have a special car at 1.15 just the
same. A straw ride and a baseball
game, "Seeds vs. Plants," were fea-
tures— with plenty of refreshments on
the side. The baseball item resulted
in favor of the "Plants," showing con-
clusively that they were of the
stronger growth.

New York Bowlers.
The Astorias will have a club at
Baltimore and some of their heavy

the New Yorks some pointers. But
New York has improved some and

The annual outing of the Garden-
ers' and Florists' Club of Providence,
was held on Wednesday, July 19. A

enjoyed. .

The Omaha Florist Club will hold
their fourteenth annual picnic on
July 27th, afternoon and evening, at
the Courtland Beach where a large at-
tendance is expected and a good time

CHICAGO NOTES.
"Innocents Abroad."

H. Philpott and A. T. Pyfer, presi-
dent and secretary respectively of the
Chicago Florists' Club, left Chicago,
July Sth, for a friendly call at Cin-
cinnati and elsewhere. They gave a
very enthusiastic report of the cordial
way in which they were received every
where. During their stay at Cincin-
nati they were the guests especially
of C. Critchell, president of the Cin-
cinnati Florists' Club, Wm. Murphy,
Mr. Fordner. J. A. Peterson and R.
Witterstaetter. Air. and Mrs. J. A.
Peterson entertained them at dinner
Tuesday, although they were busy
with preparations for leaving for Eu-
rope on Friday.

Kentucky hospitality was exempli-
fied by Geo. Schulz, son of Jacob
Schulz, Louisville's leading florist.

HYDRANG

FOR SUMMER FLOWERING

We have an unusually fine lot of Hydrangeas, which have been held dormant all winter. These plants
are now In bud and bloom, and will flower in fine shape during July and August. We have a fine lot of
blue hydrangeas, as well as pink. Plants are in splendid shape for immediate use, and will flower during
July and August at a time <>i the year when they are in the greatest demand.

\W can furnish these plants in ordinary butter tubs at $2.00 and $3.00 each.

Plants in new cedar tubs, painted green, with handles, as follows: Well budded plants in 14-inch tubs
$3.00 each; 16-inch tubs, $4.00 and $5.00 each.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally fine lot of Boston Ferns of the Harrisii type; also a splendid lot of Pierson
Perns. Good, bushy, well-grown plants in 8-inch pots, that will please the most critical buyer, $1.00 each.

i^ij^hjt

THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY

We offer a selected and carefully grown stock of the original pure Harrisii. There are only one or two
lots of bulbs on the island as good as the stock thai we offer. We take pleasure in offering this stock, be-
cause it will be found to be very superior to the average stock that is generally offered. This is one of the
healthiest and cleanest lots, and will give much better satisfaction than the stock usually obtainable. Our
customers who had Harrisii from us last year stated it was the best they had received in years.

We have only a limited stuck, which we are offering, and when stock is exhausted, we shall have no
more to offer this season.

Fine selected bulbs, 6-7 inch, 350 to the case, $16.00 per case, or full thousand lots at $45.00 per 1,000;
7-9 inch, 200 to the case, $17.00 per case, or full thousand lots at $80.00 per 1,000; 9-11 inch, 100 to the case'
(18.00 per case, or full thousand lots at $175.00 per 1,000.

traded especial attention. An Ameri-
can Beaut] rose bursts into bloom by
degrees making an impressive adver-
tisement, Louisville is reported as
strong for the S. A. F. Convention in
1912, and it is expected to send enough
floris*ts to Baltimore to fill a special
car which will join the Chicago Special
at Cincinnati. Enough more will
join at Cincinnati and vicinity to fill
another, so the "President's Special"
will be one of the grandest trains to
the convention at Baltimore.

Mr. Mathews welcomed the visitors
to Dayton, O. He lets no one forget
that he is in the florists' business, for
he advertises continually, and in
unique ways, generally on something
that can be carried home, such as fans,
cups. etc. Geo. Bartholomew of the
Miami Floral Co. was seen, and is off
for Europe before this.
Gladioli.

So important a factor in the Chicago
summer flower supply has the gladioli
become that along with improved
varieties growers are seeking better
methods of cultivation. C. H. Keteham
of South Haven, who is sending prob-
ably the finest stock into this market,
is now cutting an almost pure white
EUeve de l'Anjou, sometimes called
White America. It has a large perfect
flower, borne on a four foot stem, and
stands shipping perfectly. Last week
Mr Keteham had a sprinkling system
installed that will reach his 25,000
plants and put an end to the dangers
of the summer drouth.

Among the Retailers.

C. A. Sarnuelson, 2134 Michigan
avenue, will begin next week the erec-
tion of a conservatory on the roof of
his present store. This will give him
a fine place for plants and materially
add to his present equipment.

At the E. Weinhoeber Co.'s store

the employes are taking their annual
trips. Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Robertson
are in Canada, and will visit several
eastern cities before returning. W. W.
Adams the order clerk is having a
three weeks cruise of the Great Lakes.
When they return Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Pasternick will visit relatives in Cin-
cinnati.

Delia Bonson, who is in charge of
the office at A. J. Mangel's has just
returned from a week's outing. A
feature of the redecorating of this
store, now in progress, is the placing
of 13 Grecian columns for ornamental
purposes through the store. They are
pure white, twelve inches in diameter.
They will afford means for decorating
the store for special occasions, and are
very ornamental when left plain.

H. A. Fisher of Kalamazoo, Mich.,
is here looking after stock and visit-
ing his brother, Geo. Fisher, who is
buyer for the H. A. Fisher Co., of Kal-
amazoo and Battle Creek, Mich. On
Sept. 1st this firm will move into its
new retail store in the New Burdick
Hotel, where they will have more
room and better facilities for handling
their trade, and will have one of the
most elegant establishments in the
state.

The Alpha Floral Co. has particular-
ly attractive windows this summer.
They extend a long distance both sides
of the corner and are two st ■
in effect. A preponderance of palm
and ferns set off to good advantage
the comparatively few colored blooms
now to be had, and from the platform
of the elevated trains the view into
the windows is very pleasing. John
J. Burke, head salesman, will spend
two weeks at his former home in St.
Louis, Mo.

Personal.

C. N. Dickinson and family are at

their summer home at Pelican Lake,
Wis.

Mis. Frank Beu contemplates taking
a trip east in August.

Henry Van Gelder, manager of the
Percy Jones commission house, is ill.

C. L. Washburn and family left this
week for an automobile trip to the his-
toric Starved Rock and vicinity.

Mr and Mrs. C. H. Fisk leave about
Aug. 1st for California and from there
will go north into British Columbia,
spending six weeks in travel.

Among the week's visitors are
Adolph Reiss of Shelbyville, 111.; Carl
Meier, Green Bay, Wis.; Ralph Lath-
am and Mr. Carlson, Minneapolis,
Minn . and A. C. Reicher, Michigan
City. Ind.

Miss Frances Brundage, formerly
ary of the E. H. Hunt Co., is
bai Horn her trip in the southwest
greatly improved in health. She will
assist, the office force during C. N.
Dickinson's absence but will not take
any permanent position at present.

A. Lange and family are at Colorado
Springs. Of the clerks who are taking
their outings are Harry Peterson, who
is in Canada, Arthur Lawson, who
will go to Waukegan, 111., Lilian Yet-
tebertr. in Sawyer, Midi. Wm. Wolf
will wait till the convention and take
his with the florists at Baltimore.

W. F. Vlk, 5041 Ashland avenue, who
left with his little daughter for an ex-
tol trip to the Pacific coast on the
6th of July received a telegram upon
his arrival in Portland, Ore., announc-
ing the serious illness of his wife with
glood poisoning. A rose thorn had
ph i her thumb and the whole arm
Wl tfected. Mr. Vlk reached home
on the 15th. Mrs. Vlk is somewhat
improved and hopes are entertained
for her recovery.

Clover Seeding Lost.
The following communication has
been issued under date of July 18,
from the office of the Secretary of
Agriculture at Washington:

The clover and grass seed grown this
spring in wheat, rye and other grain, has
been parched up and killed, either wholly
or in part < ■ 1 1 thousands of fields in the
central western and northern states. This
is a serious situation and calls for prompt
attention. If the clover is not replanted,
it means no clover hay next season and
the planting of some substitute crop for
hay next spring at considerably increased
expense will probably lie necessary. Nol
only that, but the failure of the clover
crop moans the loss of the green manur-
ing crop in the rotation and a disarrange-
ment of the whole farm plan of crop rota-
tion. The situation should be met at once.
Every piece of new seeding should be ex-
amined and. if it has been burned up, steps
taken to replant it at once.

I i e of the best ways known to get a
stand of clover is to disk the stubble field
as soon as the grain is off, allowing the
disk te run about three inches deep and
working the stubble into the soil. The
disking and cross disking should be suf-
ficient to clean it of weeds and grass and
put the top three inches of soil in fine
tilth. Keep the ground cultivated until
the first soaking rain, then sow about ten
pounds of clover seed mixed with 6 to 8
pounds of timothy per acre and harrow the
seed in. A still better way than harrow-
ing, is to sow the grass seed with a grain
drill, letting the seed run down the grain
tubes from the grass seed box and cover-
ing the seed from 1 to Pj inches deep.

By sowing clover and grass seed alone
in this manner, without a nurse crop, it
makes much more rapid and vigorous
growth than when sown with grain. By
disking the land also, a much better seed
bed is made than could be obtained by

plowing, since when ground is plowed in
dry weather it breaks up lumpy and lies
up loose and is very difficult to work down
into a compact seed bed such as is essen-
tial for the best results with clover and
grass seed. In addition, the grain stubble
worked into the top soil by disking seems
to form a top mulch especially beneficial
to clover.

Tli is method of seeding clover is becom-
Ing 'itiite general in some of the middle
eastern states where farmers over large
sections are giving up the practice of
spring seeding with grain because of fre-
■ I ni-ii t failure to catch and seeding alone
after the grain is cut instead. By this
method clover and grass seed may be sown
in the central and western states as late
as September 15, and still make a good
stand that will not winter kill, but in the
extreme northern states the seeding should
not be made later than August 15.

To summarize, grass seedings in spring
grain have been burned out on thousands
of farms. Replant now by disking the
stubble about three inches deep and sow-
ing clover and grass seed alone without
a nurse crop by August 15.

recent rainfall which brought the
drought to an end as the largest ever
experienced in their business. The

Earl Talks on Crop Prospects.
An Interview by Our Philadelphia Corres-
I, ill with Howard M. Earl, Man

r for w. .\ii.'.- Burpee .v Co.,
Julj 10, 1911.

Some weeks ago we announced in
these columns that we had hopes of
able i" give our readers a tew
hints as to crops and the outlook
gleaned from the impressions of that
experienced observer, Howard M. Earl,
during his recent comprehensive crop
inspection tour from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and back. Thes.- nopi
have been realized. Mr. Earl v.-rj
kindly granted your correspondent
some precious minutes, and we give
herewith a few of his frank express-
ions on the situation and outlook — as
he saw them:

Among tin- first questions asked: —
"Mr. Karl, if it is permissible to ask
such a delieate and important ques
tion of the world's leading wholesali
sweet-pea growers, would you be will-
ing to say without reserve how tie
sweet pea crop looked to you early in
June during your visit to California?"
"Certainly! A paper of HORTICUL-
TURE'S standing in the reliability
and conservatism of its seed trade
news— not to speak of its enterprise
and leadership in that connection— is
entitled to information relating to
California crops. To state the matter
clearly I may put your question under
its proper divisions:

"One. On the whole sweet pea crops
in California early in June were late —
owing to rains coming at an abnor-
mal time."

• Two. Sweet peas will probably
average fifty to seventy-five per cent
of a crop. The shortage is especially
pronounced in the true "Spencer" class.
These are as usual, casting their
blooms without setting seed."

"What about the other crops you
examined?" was asked.

"Onions look well, and there should
be a fair average crop— ample for all
demands. The only exceptions I
would note are:— Yellow Globe Dan-
vers, and Southport Yellow Globe. On
these two varieties, I believe, many
growers are already heavily oversold—
judging from present indications on
their acreage. I think white varieties
will also be under an average crop;
but I have a suspicion that many seed
firms have contracted with the grow-
ers more than they can use in their
trade, and therefore think there will
be plenty of white to go around."

"Is there any truth in the report
that the parsnip crop will be short?"
"Yes." said Mr. Earl. "I think that re-
port is well founded. Many growers
lost their roots entirely, and I found
that many growers who had not lost
all their roots were already heavily
oversold. Some of the latter had
been east taking orders from the
seedsmen while the damage was hap-
pening. So they are not to be blamed
for having 'bitten off more than they
could chew.' Y.-s, there is no doubt
of it— parsnips will be very short."
"How are the carrots coming along?"
"These are in the same boat as the

parsnips. They will be a very short
pop The roots were partially or en-
tirely lost. Of all the carrot crops I
siu on my trip, not one looked prom-
ising or in anyway up to the mark."

Your correspondent at this point
was getting rather blue and pessimis-
tic. He asked his cheerful "image-
breaker" if he didn't have a few op-
timistic items to mix in. All lean and
no fat is a pretty poor cow — on the ta-
ble.

"Oh; don't get alarmed, there are
lots of things that are all right. Take
salsify for instance. That looked very
nice — very promising — and I am sure
will be a full crop. Then there is rad-
ish. I think, all things considered,
radish also will be a good crop. With
some growers there are fields that are
a bit 'spotty;' but taking character
of the season into consideration, there
is no doubt in my mind as to the out-
come when the harvest comes around.
As for parsley, everything looks rosy
for a good yield. But I do not look
for any surplus as there has been a
big shortage in Europe, and our dear
cousins across the water are eager to
take all our surplus at good figures.
There should be a fair crop of celery
and leeks are looking very promising."
"Very good, Mr. Earl, that is encour-
aging; but there is a very important
California crop you have not men-
tioned yet. What about lettuce?"

"Yes, of course, I had that in mind
when you interrupted me with your
'fat and lean' foolishness. As every-
body knows, there is a very large area
devoted to this in California, to sup-
ply the regular American trade. Last
year, however, in addition to this,
there were several important French
seed firms who on account of unfavor-
able conditions in France decided to
risk a crop on the Pacific Coast. So
the area this year is much larger than
usual. I cannot give a very glowing
account of the outlook. I think the
crop will only be about fair to mid-
dling. At the time of my visit the out-
look did not seem to be nearly so
promising as it was at the same time
in 1910."

"They grow spinach and tomatoes
out there?"

"Yes, to a limited extent. Spinach
looked fairly well. Tomatoes had only
just been set out, so little could be
predicted about them."

"What about beans? We look a
whole lot now-adays to the Pacific
Coast fur Limas and such."

"Sure enough! Especially in South-
ern California — in such places as Ven-
tura, Santa Paula, and other towns
that go to make up what they call
the bean district. Of course, I was
too early to form a definite opinion,
as beans were but just beginning to
make their growth. But judging from
tin- excellent stands which 1 saw, I
should say that there are good pros-
pects for Limas, and other varieties
that do well in that climate. Other
sorts, planted farther north, also
looked promising. A curious feature
of the situation, is the exaggerated
idea a farmer has as to what a seeds-
man should pay him for Limas for
need, when the demand for dried
limas for food, is good! But it is no
funnier than the same notion of the
Eastern brother when Navy beans are
in good demand. Both think the price

of seed beans should go up according-
ly— independent of any conditions, for
or against, in the seed trade."

"We guess that about exhausts the
supply ot interrogation points for the
present, Mr. Earl, and we thank you
very much for your interesting talk
both for the readers of HORTICUL-
Tl'RE and for ourselves. But just
one final one. — We suppose California
has now about reached its limit in re-
gard to seed production and we will
now have to look further afield for
our increasing needs?"

"By no means. Very few realize the
possibilities of California as a seed-
producing locality. As time goes on,
we are going to find that the possi-
bilities there are almost without
limit and that many, many more va-
rieties— varieties that are now grown
in Europe and elsewhere can be grown
to far better advantage in California.
There is nothing more positive to my
mind than the truth of Peter Hender-
son's dictum 'California will yet be the
seed garden of the world.' "

We think our readers will be pleased
with the foregoing condensed epitome
of a three-weeks' trip among the grow-
ing seed crops of the west by a gentle-
man who is a keen observer and an
able and experienced seedsman. It is
hard to get a seedsman to talk, and
jour correspondent is rather conceited
over having at last been able to get
one of the big ones to "open up." We
shall persevere, now that the ice is
broken, and may get some more by
and by.

GEORGE C. W'ATSON.

We understand that the fierce fires
which have been raging in Michigan
are located directly in the pea-grow-
ing section. The subject is so seri-
ous a one that we hesitate to quote
from one of our jocose correspond-
ents who suggests that we may find
next year a new variety of pea
pushed by some enterprising seeds-
man under the name of "Baked" or
"Roasted."

The accompanying illustration shows
how W. J. Palmer & Sons, the lead-
ing florists of Buffalo, N. Y., made
their show window a beautiful and
refreshing picture during the hot days
of early July. There was an old mill
with stream and water wheel and
mill pond bordered with trees, in
which pond lilies floated and gold fish
darted. On the bark rim turtles
sunned themselves and on a rustic
bridge sat a brownie fishing. Cool and
delightful it looked to the public as

they passed along in the broiling heat
and they stood two and three deep
gazing into the refreshing scene and
apparently experiencing a sense of
comfort, as on a hot night in the thea-
tre, when a wintry scene is put on
the stage the ladies' fans all over the
house become motionless.
The question of appropriate window
adornment in the dull summer season
is a poser sometimes but there can be
no better test of its efficacy' than to
see a crowd of admirers constantly
around it.

ST. LOUIS NOTES.

C. Young & Sons Co. held a meeting
of stockholders and election of officers
last week.

B. Eschner of M. Rice & Co., Phila-
delphia, is here this week calling on
the trade and will be a guest of the
trade at the Florists' picnic.

P. M. Widener of Highland, Ills.,
has bought the establishment of Am-
mann & Johanson at East St. Louis,
111., and Mr. Widener will take
charge July 15.

Each of the wholesalers has given
$5 for prizes to be given at the Flor-
ists' picnic this week Thursday. The
Belleville florists, too, have offered
a good prize.

Ludwig Zimmer. who has a floral
store at Biddle Market left last week
for a two months' trip to Germany
to visit his folks in Hamburg. His
store is closed for the summer.

James Arado of Young's has returned
from his vacation fishing out west.
Will Young will spend his vacation at
Atlantic City. X. J., and Miss Kling
chief clerk at the greenhouses left
this week for a two weeks' trip to
Colorado Springs.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.
Messrs. Bunyard, Ebel, Maynard
and others of the Gardeners' Associa-
tion, held a meeting here on Monday.
By-laws were the principal subject
under discussion. David Rust, Wil-
liam Kleinheinz and John H. Dodds
were appointed a committee to con-
sider and report.

Fred Gear, retail florist of Cincin-
nati, was a recent visitor on his way
to Atlantic City. He was the guest of
the Pennock-Meehan Co., and later of
M. Rice & Co. He says all cities look
alike to him, but such personalities
as Samuel S. Pennock, M. Rice and
E. J. Fancourt, makes Philadelphia
stand out to the eyes of Cincinnati.
The writer sent cordial messages to
Albert McCullough, J. Chas. and Dan,
and hopes they are selling lots of
Timothy.

On the evening of the same day
(17th) a meeting of the joint com-
mittee on Fall Exhibition was held.
Neither Messrs. Stroud, Rust nor any
members of the trade were present,
so it would look as if no interest is
being taken by the trade, although as
we understand it. the reason for the
committee's existence is to get the
trade to take some interest. But the
P. H. S. deliberately shook the trade
interests for the private gardeners'
twenty years ago, and now that that
policy has proven to have been a mis-
take, it is too late to undo it.

Flower Market Reports.

There is a decided scarc-
BOSTON ity of good flowers here.
There is plenty of mate-
rial, but it is generally of low quality,
although it brings prices that are good
for the season. Business is considered
good. Roses find a fair demand at
better prices than last week. Lilies
are rather scarce at piesent and have
also advanced in price. There are no
good sweet peas, short stems and di-
minutive flowers being the rule. As-
ters begin to appear, short stemmed,
but of acceptable quality for so early.
Lily of the valley market is fluctuating
and irregular.

A change took place in
BUFFALO the market on Thurs-
day of last week when
the heavy supply was cut off, and on
Saturday a shortage existed, especially
in the carnation and rose line. A
heavy demand on floral work helped to
consume a good portion of material
which a week or so previous had no
buyers. Lilies were fine, Giganteum,
especially Formosa, were had, but not
equal with the former. Rubrums were
in quantity, and were a good help out.
Beauties are in good supply, and
shorter grades preferable. No good
Riehmonds, but some 'Maids and
Bride were seen. Gladioli have made
their appearance, but not from local
growers. The rain on Monday will
help along, and in a week's time home
grown stock will be had, for which the
trade is in waiting. Very few good as-
ters are had, as the time is a little
early yet.

There is the usual ten-
CHICAGO dency to think the
market a little duller
than ever before in midsummer bu;
those who are comparing their book.-:
with those of last year find conditions
much the same. The record-breaking
weather of the spring months and early
summer has reduced the supply and
consequently raised the prices on any
first-class stock higher than custom-
ers were accustomed to pay in sum-
mer. Some growers are cutting a fair-
ly good supply of medium length Beau-
ties,, which are most in demand. Not
many real short-stemmed Beauties are
to be had. There are plenty of short
Killarneys but long ones are scarce.
Lilies of several kinds are to be had
in abundance. Some very fine callas
are in the market this week, and
water lilies are here in quantity. Car-
nations are small but bring a fair
price to the grower though hard to
handle by the retailer. Gladioli and
asters are helping out decidedly. Lily
of the valley is good and some sweet
peas are again seen since the cool
days. The first blooms of the rose Mrs.
Aaron Ward, home-grown, are being
cut by Bassett & Washburn. Stock of
this eastern favorite was liought by
several Chicago growers. Just now it
is used principally with lily of the val-
ley in corsages, the stems being short
and blooms small but the color is per-
fect.

Asters as well as many
DETROIT other out-of-door flowers
must be considered a
failure this year. On the other hand
sweet peas, carnations, etc., have re-
ceived a new lease of life and the
stringency in these old standbys is re-

is exceptionally fine, still prevailing
forest fires have seriously damaged
what were formerly very productive
fern gathering grounds.

Summer conditions,

NEW YORK summer quality and
summer prices are
now in control here. They are not
materially different from what they
have been in other years except that
quality generally runs unprecedent-
edly poor, owing to the severe cli-
matic experiences of the past month.
Outdoor crops are naturally the worst
affected and asters, which are now due
to make their presence felt are in
poor shape thus far although signs of
improvement under the better weather
conditions now prevailing are seen.
Orchids are fine but slackening up in
quantity. Carnations have never been
v orse than now.

Business in the

PHILADELPHIA flower trade here
last week was
fairly satisfactory for the season.
There is a smaller volume of stock ar-
riving and of course it is of poorer
quality than it was but recently. This
is especially true of roses, although
many other lines are similarly affected.
American Beauty is one of the bright
spots in the situation, being about the
best value of anything now offered.
While roses are not up to the mark —
even Kaiserin making but a me-
dium showing. Marylands are the
best among the pinks — but the best is
nothing to brag about. Carnations also
are rather inferior and the supply has
shortened up notably. The orchid
market goes along on an even keel —
with enough cattleyas for all demands.
Gardenias have improved considerably.
Lily of the valley is excellent and sell-
ing well. Of asters there is some
very fair stock of Queen of the Market
arriving but a large majority are very
poor. When the aristocrats, like the
Crego and others of that class, begin
to come in then there will be some-
thing doing in the aster line. Gladio-
li are finding a ready sale. America,
Augusta and Brenchleyensis are the
principal sorts so far. Centaurea im-
perialis, the lavender pink one, is a
favorite item. Easter lilies have
shortened up some, but there seems
still enough to go around.

The market conditions

ST. LOUIS have been anything

but satisfactory to the

retailer for some time past. In

hardly enough first-class stock can be
found to supply half the demand and
that is not very large now-a-days. The
long, dry and hot spell has a great
deal to do with these conditions.
Roses and carnations are scarce. Fine
gladiolus come in with burned tops.
Sweet peas are done for. Tuberose
stalks bring $5 a hundred. Extra good
asters sell well at from $3 to $5 per
100.

The drought is held
WASHINGTON responsible for the

poor condition and
scarcity of all out-door flowers. Per-
haps the most marked effect is seen in
carnations, which are in poor condi-
tion. Asters are slow in reaching
market, and they are also in poor con-
dition. Gladioli are somewhat better
but not entirely satisfactory. Phlox is
also poor. Roses, on the contrary, are
fairly good. Lilies are in fair supply.
Gude reports his pet, the Enchanter,
to be proving a particularly fine hot
weather rose. Stephanotis is doing
nicely and is in good demand. Altheas
"by the million" are relieving the de-
mand for carnations and are used in
great quantities in decorations. Garde-
nias are coming in more plentiful. The
worst is now probably over in the
flower shortage.

GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' CLUB
OF BOSTON.

The annual picnic and games of this

Grove, West Roxbury, Mass., on Wed-
nesday, July 26. The sporting events

running races, etc., for boys, girls and
adults and fat men, quoit match, and
baseball, Commercial versus Private
Gardeners, for all of which prizes are
offered.

NEWS NOTES.

Springfield, III.— The Capitol Green-
houses have been leased by Arthur
C. Canfield, florist at State street and
Grand avenue. George Dinkel will be
manager of this branch.

Newell, W. Va — The Lake Newell
Floral Co. greenhouses have been
leased by the Chester Greenhouses of
Chester, W. Va., and will in the fu-
ture be known as the Colton Green-
house Co.

Max F. Jahn, a florist whose place
of business and home is in 1300 State
street, met a genial young man last
Wednesday who gave the name of
George Uhlrick and represented him-
self as a fellow florist in the West.
Mr. Jahn extended the hospitality of
his home comforts to the young man,
who accepted the invitation and stayed
over night. When Mr. Jahn went to
arouse his guest the following morn-
ing he discovered that the young man
had gone in the early morning hours.
A roll of bills containing $25 was
missing. Mr. Jahn and the police are
anxious to meet Mr. Uhlrick. — Spring-
field, Mass., Union.

Baltimore, Md. — Vernon Jett, alias
Harvey Arnold, will be held in the
Baltimore jail until the fall term of
court on the charge of using the mails
to defraud. Jett, it is alleged, when
in need of money, would send bogus
orders to C. R. Burr & Co., who con-
ducted a nursery business at Man-
chester, Conn., and on which the firm
would allow him a 25 per cent, com-
mission.

The produce interests of Boston,
headed by the Boston Produce Com-
pany, have joined in a complaint be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com-
ion today against the Atlantic
LSI Line Railroad on account of
afer charges for melons at New
York.

Obituary.

Charles Neiglick.
Charles Neiglick, father of Charles
T. Neiglick, florist at North State
street, Chicago, died on July 6th from
heat prostration.

Leonard G. Ward.
Leonard G. Ward, son of George E.
Ward, of Beverly, died at his home, 6
Pleasant street, Salem, Mass., July 4th,
with heat prostration. For the last few
years he had been employed by South-
worth Bros., Beverly, formerly having
been in partnership with his brother,
Harry Ward, at the North Street

and leaves a wife and two children.

Marshall Symmes.

Marshall Symmes, market gardener,
and oldest resident of Winchester,
Mass., died at his home, Symmes Cor-
ner, on July 19. He was in his 93d
year, having been born Oct. 27, 1818,
in that part of Medford later set off
as part of Winchester.

Mr. Symmes was a direct descendant
of Zachariah Symmes, who came to
this country in 1634. He was a black-
smith until an accident at the forge
cost him the sight of one eye. He then
purchased the Governor Brooks farm
at Symmes Corner and was for more
than forty years a market gardener.

Daniel W. Coquillett.
In the death of Daniel William Co-
quillett, the Department of Agricul-
ture has lost the entomologist who in-
vented the hydrocyanic method of
purging orchards of insect pests and
who discovered the usefulness of the
Vedalia beetle as a destroyer of scale.
Mr. Coquillett, who died July 8th at
Atlantic City, was born January 23rd,
1856, near Woodstock, 111. In 1881 he
was made assistant State entomologist
of Illinois. Soon after he went to
California, where he became field agent
for the division of entomology, United
States Department of Agriculture. In
1S93 he was appointed assistant ento-
mologist and at that time removed to
Washington.

TO INVESTIGATE FRUIT TRANS-
PORTATION.

Representative Faison has submit-
ted a resolution in Congress, which
has been referred to the committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce, call-
ing for the cause of delays in handling
fruit. The resolution is as follows:

Resolved: That the Interstate Commerce
Commission be, and is hereby, directed to
make an immediate and complete investi-
gation of the transportation and refriger-
ation (while in transit) of all fruit and
vegetable crops grown and marketed in
eastern North Carolina, or elsewhere In
the United States, by the Atlantic Coast
Line and Pennsylvania Railway Companies,
the Southern and Adams Express Com-
panies, the Armour Refrigerator Company,
and other railroad or transportation com-
panies and refrigerator companies engaged
in transporting such fruit and vegetable
crops to the northern markets, especially
Washington, District of Columbia; Balti-
more, Maryland; New York, Boston, and
other markets, for the purpose of ascer-
taining what is the cause of the constant,
continuous, and disastrous delays for the
last ten years in the schedules of said
companies' fruit and vegetable freight, re-
frigerator-freight, and express trains in
transit to the said markets.

The said Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion is hereby empowered to assess dam-
ages to said fruit and vegetable crops and
products from such delays, and to hx the
freight rates and make fast schedules for
all future transportation of all such fruit
and vegetable crops as may hereafter be
necessary to market the same without ma-
terial injury to the growers of said crops
in North Carolina and elsewhere.

Ownina "Your Greenhouse

What It Mean'

YOU can talk about the things cold frames will do for you "until the cows come home," but if you
want real flowers, real budding plants that you can count on being top notch year in and year out —
then a greenhouse is the only thing. The only thing because it is the sure thing. With a greenhouse
your frames become doubly valuable, as then one helps the other greatly to the advantage of both.
With a greenhouse you can control temperatures and conditions and can have what you want when you
want it. But don't' allow anyone ever to persuade you that any other curved eave house is just as good as
the U-Bar. It's not so. We want to show you exactly why. Send for the catalog as a starter.

admit that this SERVICE BUILDING is unusually attrac-

as other buildings on this large estate; it is equipped with

FLOWER GROWERS'

ASSOCIATION

Wholesale Growers of Cut Flowers and Plants

President, John F. Kidwell Secretary, George C. Weiland

Vice-president, E. Meuret Treasurer, Anton Then

General Manager, Otto W. Frese

OPEN AUGUST 1

We handle the stock of 60 well known growers who specialize in Beauties,
White Killarneys, Pink Killarneys, Richmonds, Brides, 'Maids, Lily of the
Valley, Orchids, Asters, Sweet Peas, Violets, Chrysanthemums, and every-
thing else for the florists' trade. In green goods we have Smilax, Asparagus
in strings and bunches, Galax Leaves and Fancy Ferns.

SIXTY GROWERS 2,000,000 FEET OF GLASS

These growers have been selected with care as to their size and the quality and variety of the
stock they grow. In approximating the amount of glass they control, we believe 2,000,000 feet a
modest estimate, so that with this amount of glass we will be second to none in quantity of stock we
shall receive. The quality also will be varied, so as to meet the requirements of every florist. There
will be a large supply of extra fancy roses ; also the grades ranging to short. The growers have been
selected so that we will have a large supply of every kind of flowers as they come in season. We
have also growers who specialize in Beauties, orchids, valley , roses, carnations and green goods. These,
with a large percentage who grow all the miscellaneous stock, make US one of the largest
wholesale cut flower houses in Chicago.

The second floor of our four-story building will be used for the sale of plants. We have growers
who specialize in these and we expect to become a factor along this line. You will hear more on
this later.

We will be in readiness August 1 to receive orders, every detail being perfected. On that day
we will have a full line to offer, so you need have no hesitancy in wiring or writing for rush or future
shipments. Your orders will have the most prompt and careful attention and will

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists' Stock

CALANTHES

These orcliids are now in active growth and should
have a genial moist atmosphere with a common sense
supply of water at the roots. On all favorahle oppor-
tunities give them ventilation without allowing direct
or cold drafts to strike them. At this time of the year
we are very liable to have a spell of cold and wet
weather which causes the temperature to fall below the
normal. This is the time you need a little fire heat,
just enough to slightly warm the pipes and you will be
able to keep a chink of air on all the time, which helps
to keep the atmosphere active and sweet. Calantb.es are
now beginning to fill their pots and pans with roots.
A little stimulant in the way of either weak cow or sheep
manure can be applied about once a week with benefit,
and as the roots get more matted in their pots they can
have it twice a week until the flowers commence to ex-
pand. Keep a lookout for thrips.

CARE OF VIOLETS

From now on no winter-flowering stock requires more
watching and judicious attention than the violets. Go
over them every week and remove all decayed or dis-
eased leaves, weeds, etc., for they like absolute cleanli-
ness. Give frequent and shallow cultivation thus insur-
ing a sweet and open soil. It is during August and Sep-
tember that so many promising houses of violets go
wrong from the want of proper ventilation and care in
watering. In order to have strong sturdy and healthy
plants when the short and dark days come give all the
air you can day and night until winter sets in. Be
always very careful in watering; look over the beds
good at first, then you will detect the dry spots which
can be watered, thus helping to keep your beds at an
even degree of moisture. Give a good syringing early
in the morning on all fine days so as to allow the foli-
age to become dry before night. About the middle of
August if your plants are making a fine vigorous growth
give them a half or three-quarters of an inch of a mulch
of either sifted cow or burse manure that is well de-
cayed, as it feeds the surface roots and prevents the
continually drying out of the beds.

BOUGAINVILLEA

Plants that have been growing vigorously and have
filled their pots with roots should have a shift. Give
them a soil of a more lumpy character. Sod that was
cut last fall will be all right for them. A good com-
post is three parts of soil and one of cow manure. See
that they have plenty of drainage as they will need a
free supply of water while growing. Keep them under
glass and in a position where they will be exposed to
full sun. See that they have a daily syringing for the
next six weeks. By the last of September begin to keep
on the dry side so as to secure a ripened condition of
the wood to make them flower freely. It must be re-
membered that these plants like a comparative rest but
at the same time they should never be allowed to get too
dry. While resting give them a cool house — say about
50 degrees and keep air on as much as possible.

DOUBLE DAISIES

It will pay any florist living in the suburbs to grow
these plants for spring sales. For the ground work in

bulb beds they are very satisfactory, and for making
separate beds in partial shade they are also well
worthy. They sell well in baskets at Easter. Sow the
seed in shallow box.- now or any time before the mid-
dle of August. When they are large enough to handle
set five inches apart in a cold frame. With the coming
oi winter give them some protection, and whenever
there is any mild ~ee that they have plenty of

air. Give them the same treatment as pansies and they
will succeed all right.

GARDENIAS

Continue watchfulness in all general matters con-
nected with the culture of these plants. Gardenias that
were benched early in June will now be advancing very
rapidly and at all times they must have every care and
encouragement to promote a quick and sturdy growth.
Damping down will now be necessary two or three
times, a day to supply the proper moisture in the atmos-
phere. Examine the beds each day so there will be
neither dry spots nor places showing a saturated condi-
tion both of which are very detrimental to this class of
plants. Shoots that are making a vigorous growth
should be pinched back so as to induce a lateral growth.
It should be remembered that while the gardenia de-
lights in a high temperature, great care should be taken
to ventilate freely on all suitable occasions so as to
secure a gentle circulation of fresh air. Such treatment
greatly assists in making good wood for flowering later.
Keep the plants free from such insect pests as mealy
and red spider by a sharp spray of water forcibly di-
rected on the under side of the leaves and through the
plants and if this fails try spraying with an insecticide.
You will find several advertised in Horticulture.
When the beds begin to get full of roots they will be
in condition to stand a light mulch. Give them a dust-
ing of very fine bone first over the surface, and then a
light mulch of well rotted cow manure. The best prin-
ciple to follow in feeding is to give a little at a time,
but often.

SCHIZANTHUS

If you want a nice batch of these plants for next
winter sow now. See that you obtain the best strain of
seed and sow on some fine mixture of equal parts of
loam and leaf-mold with a dash of sand through it.
Previous to sowing give the pans or flats a good water-
ing and then sow the seed on this and cover very light-
ly, pressing the soil even all over. Place a pane of
glass over the flat or pan and see that the soil does not
get parched. When the little seedlings are up a cold
frame is an excellent place to summer these plants in.
When they are large enough pot off singly into small
pots, and shift as they may require until a 6 or 7-inch
pot is reached. For the two last shifts use a rich mix-
ture of two-thirds fibrous loam, to one-third of well
rotted cow manure and pot firm. To insure fine com-
pact plants keep them pinched freely until the early
part of October. Keep them in a frame for the next
six or eight weeks as they will be better than if in the
greenhouse. Schizanthus Wisetonensis is a fine type to
grow. These plants want a cool house culture at all
times — say about 50 degrees at night.

Reciprocity with Canada is now an as-

of "the line" is concerned. We cannot
see just where any practical result can be reached by a
discussion of the question of "Reciprocity with Canada
on Floral Products'' as is provided for in the program
of the Baltimore Convention. Last year at Rochester
would have been the time to have got busy with this
proposition and, with a little assiduity on the part of

the producing interests in the northeastern section of
the United States a clause including flowers in the free
commodities might have been squeezed into the bill.
However, we look for a very interesting debate when
those two sharpshooters E. I. Mepsted of Canada and
P. Welch of America get at it. We don't know where
Mr. Mepsted stands on the question, as Upper Canada
would probably oppose and Lower Canada favor the free
entry of flowers from the United States, although on
the matter of free entry to the United States, Upper
Canada might be "werry willin'," but if P. Welch can-
not manoevre E. I. Mepsted into a defensive position it
will be because the latter is much more artful than the
most of us. Get to Convention Hall early on Wednes-
day morning if you want some fun.

Senate bill 3, introduced by Senator

An educational Carroll S. Page, now in the hands of

project tiie Committee on Agriculture and

Forestry provides for Government
aid to the States in promoting a better system of edu-
cation along agricultural and industrial lines and in
home economics. The problem of wise and efficient
training of young men and young women, always a
paramount ones, becomes now more serious than ever
under the restrictions on a broad-gauge mechanical
knowledge imposed by existing factory methods in the
division of labor and by labor union proscription. As
Mr. Page forcibly points out, Germany is now outrun-
ning us in the race for commercial supremacy due in
a large measure to the fact that when the German boy
reaches the age of 12, 13 or 14, his characteristics, his
physical equipment, the bent of his mind, are carefully
ascertained and he is given a training which equips
him for the life work which he decides to follow. "Not
so with the American youth of the great middle class, "
especially in our villages and cities. He is turned
adrift and the question presented to his mind is, not
what will my future life work be? but rather, Where
can I get a job that will furnish me the wherewith to
buy my clothes and pay my entrance with my best girl
to the moving picture show? In the majority of cases
if he can find a position as boot-black, newspaper vender
or messenger boy, he is content. In any event he fol-
lows the lines of least resistance and takes the work
nearest at hand with little or no thought as to growing
up into a well-rounded manhood. If he be a farm boy,
he works along without specific training and becomes
another of that great number who secure from the soil
only half the profits they should." The high school, the
academy and the college are taking excellent care of
those boys who are financially able to avail themselves
of their advantages, but for him who cannot, little re-
mains but the prospect of a cheap manhood. If the
entry of the National Government into a comprehensive
and liberal co-operation with the States for instruction
in agriculture and the trades will modify and improve
these defects in our industrial system then, by all
means, let us have it even if it becomes necessary to-
economize by cutting out a battleship or two !

LILIUM FARQUHARI.

Our cover illustration this week
shows another of the new hardy lilies
collected by E. H. Wilson in his
Chinese explorations. Mr. Wilson
thought enough of this new species to
name it Liliuni Farquhari a^ a compli-
ment to Messrs. Farquhar of Boston,
with whom his relations have for years
been of the most friendly nature.

At Horticultural Hall, Boston, on
Saturday, July 22, this lily was exhib-
ited for the first time and received the
award of a silver medal. It was shown
in cut form from the garden and as
plants in pots, some of the bulbs hav-
ing produced two, three and four
flower spikes.

The flowers are very large, pure
white except for a shading of green
on the lower outside half of the trum-
pet and a soft green stripe towards the
base of each petal inside. The nine
plants shown displayed considerable
variation in type, the shape of the
trumpet, height of stalk, and the fra-
grance differing in several specimens.
The photograph which we have repro-
duced gives an excellent idea of the
waxy beauty of this new comer which,
being hardy and easily grown, should
in time take a high place among the
forcing lilies as well as for garden
use.

Messrs. Farquhar at the same time
showed Lilium myriophyllum again
and the impression grows that this
beautiful lily has surely come to stay.
Pure white with orange flush in the
centre and deliciously fragrant, it will
undoubtedly become a popular cut
flower. Also a large exhibit was made
of a very uniform strain of Lilium
longiflorum grown in Korea and these
were given honorable mention.

TOMATO DISEASES.

In Bulletin No. 138, June, 1911, of
the Massachusetts Experiment Sta-
tion, Dr. George E. Stone has treated
the subject of Tomato Diseases in an
exhaustive manner. This is a topic
to which Dr. Stone has given many
years of study and experiment and
is an unimpeachable authority. Every-
one of the 32 pages covered is valua-
ble reading for the vegetable gardener.
Some sixteen diseases, induced by par-
asitic organisms or by abnormal func-
tions are fully treated as their causes
and prevention, soil conditions, etc.
Dr. Stone sums up as follows:

"Tomatoes are subject to various dis-

eases, some of which are common to
outdoor plants and others confined to
those grown in greenhouses, and many
affect crops grown under either condi-
tion.

The methods of treating outdoor
crops necessarily differ from those re-
quired inside, since in the latter case
the environment is more or less under
control, and by proper control of the
environment most of the diseases may
be eliminated.

The principal diseases affecting out-
door tomatoes are the blossom end
rot, tomato scab (Cladosporium), an-
thracnose (Colletotrichum), leaf blight
(Septoria), leaf blight (Cylindrospo-
rium), leaf mold (Alternaria), bacte-
rial blight, downy mildew (Phytoph-
thora) and timber rot (Sclerotinia).
The first six occur to a greater or less
extent in Massachusetts, some of them
occasionally causing considerable dam-
age. The others have been noted else-
where and have often proved trouble-
some.

For the present, spraying must be
recommended for the treatment of
outdoor tomato diseases, although in
some cases it is of doubtful value, and
the returns from the crop during cer-
tain seasons in some sections would
warrant little expenditure in this di-
rection. Proper training and pruning
are beneficial and a sufficient water
supply is of value in the control of
the blossom end rot.

The principal diseases affecting
greenhouse tomatoes are the blossom
end rot, timber rot, scab (Cladospo-
rium), eel worms, wilt, surface molds,
burn or scald, hollow stem, Oedema
and mosaic disease. Of these, the
first four are the most important and
can be absolutely controlled — the blos-
som end rot by sub-irrigation, timber
rot and eel worms by sterilizing the
soil, and scab or Cladosporium by
regulating the air moisture. The re-
maining ones are of little importance
and as a rule result from abnormal
conditions which should not be pres-
ent.

The most important features in
greenhouse culture are those connect-
ed with the management of the crop.
Too great stress cannot be laid upon
the necessity of the gardener's under-
standing the influence of such factors
as heat, light, moisture, ventilation,
etc. He should be careful about intro-
ducing radical changes in the manage-
ment of the crop, and much discretion
must be used in the application of
fertilizers."

Copies of the bulletin may be ob-
tained on application to the Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Amherst,
Mass.

SPRAYING TO KILL DANDELIONS.

Review of Bulletin No. 335, N. Y. Experi-
ment Station, by F. H. Hall.

In spite of the beauty of their bright
blossoms in early spring, dandelions
are regarded with disfavor by practi-
cally every lawn-owner. Their rapid
growth, crowding out the grass, pre-
vents the development of an even
sward; and their coarse leaves, un-
sightly flower-stalks and fuzzy tops
serve as unseemly decorations for the
ideal lawn. They have been fought,
and usually with slight success, wher-
ever they have appeared in dooryards,
parks or boulevards. Digging them up
is tedious and disheartening; for their
abundance makes it no small task to
cut them out even on a few square
yards, and unless cut very deeply,
new crowns form and the owner's la-
bors result only in an increase in the
numbers of plants. In tests at the Sta-
tion two plants were cut off repeated-
ly, below the crown, before any of the
new leaves were four inches long; yet
one plant died only after seven cut-
tings, the other after eight.

In other parts of the country, spray-
ing with iron sulphate (copperas) has
been reported successful in controll-
ing these lawn pests; so that it was
with high hopes that an experiment
along this line was started on the Sta-
tion grounds. A 10-ft. strip about 100
feet long of blue-grass lawn was
sprayed six times during the summer
of 1909 with iron sulphate solution con-
taining 1% lbs. of the chemical in a
gallon of water, the sprayings being
about four weeks apart and made, as
far as possible, under conditions
thought best adapted to kill the weeds. •
Success was not reached that year; so
in 1910 the sulphate was increased to
2 lbs. to the gallon, the applications
were made two weeks apart, and in
three treatments the strip was sprayed
twice, from different directions.

By the end of June, six treatments
had been given and the effect on the
grass of the lawn, with checking of
growth by drouth, made it unsafe to
spray longer. At this time 1085 liv-
ing dandelion plants still remained,
few less than on the untreated lawn
beside the strip.

The spray blackened the dandelion
foliage, so that the first impression
was that the treatment was effective.
It did retard or prevent blossoming;
but it did not destroy the roots. The
application of the copperas also made
the grass foliage black and unsightly,
though this effect usually disappeared
before the next spraying. In no way,
however, can spraying with* iron sul-
phate be considered a success in re-
moving dandelions from lawns in New
York State.

BALTIMORE'S CONVENTION PRO-
GRAM.

The convention program of the Gar-
deners' and Florists' Club of Balti-
more, is now quite definitely settled.
A fine steamer has been secured and
an excursion trip down the bay to
Tolchester Beach, a famous attractive

will be given the guests. At this
place the games will be played— the
races, shooting, baseball, etc. At six
o'clock the boat will leave and go
farther down the bay. returning to the
city about ten. From present indica-
tions it would seem that another
steamer will have to be chartered, but
the committee will be equal to the oc-
casion whatever it may be. The aim
is to make the Baltimore convention a
record maker.

Among the prizes offered for bowl-
ing for fadies are the following: Boas
cup, silver by Bolgiano, cut glass
vase by Stewart & Co., cut glass bowl
by Hutzler Bros., hand bag by Pen-
nock-Meehan Co., silver by Dreer, sil-
ver belt buckle by Mrs. Christie, bowl-
ing ball by Brunswick, Balke, Colland-
er Co.; Japanese bread tray by Rice &
Co., flower holder by J. W. Putts Co.,
fern dish by Brager & Co., cut glass
vase by Eisenberg. umbrella by Gold-
'enberg & Co. Highest individual
score, cut glass by ladies of Washing-
ton. D. C; most strikes, linen center
piece by O'Neil & Co.; most spares,
silver cup by Michell; highest score
in a special game which will be the
third game rolled, silver cup valued
at $15, by Hochschild & Co.

Among the prizes for men's bowling
are a good many money specials and
valuable prizes by Pennock-Meehan

There are many other prizes which
will be given on the potato race for
girls between 15 and 25, and boys be-
tween 15 and 20. There are also a
number of good prizes donated for
bowling that are yet to be assigned,
as the sperting committee desire to
distribute them so that everyone will
have a chance to pluck a plum.

The ladies' committee have ar-

CONVENTION NOTES.

Although my two years' service as
secretary have been pleasant ones, I
wish to announce to my friends that
I will not be a candidate for re-elec-
tion. My duties at the University
have increased to such an extent that
it will be impossible for me to spare
the time necessary for the work of the
S. A. F. The duties connected with
the office of secretary are rapidly in-
creasing and the time is approaching
when the. secretary will be compelled
to devote all his time to the interests
of the society.

Knowing the importance of the po-
sition, I feel that I should make this
statement in order that the members
have enough time to think over the
situation and select a new candidate.

S. A. F. & 0. H. pins will be issued
shortly to all life and pioneer members
and to those annual members who have
paid their dues for 1911. The pin will
be necessary for admission to the ex-
hibition hall.

Attention of florists should be called
to the fact that to get the benefit of
the meetings, the exhibition and the
entertainments, it will be necessary to
be a member of the S. A. F. & O. H.

By order of the president, a meeting
of the executive board is hereby called
for 10 o'clock Tuesday, August 15th,
at the Belvedere Hotel, Baltimore, Md.

PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL EX-
HIBITION.

The First Provisional Schedule for
the International Horticultural Ex-
hibition to take place in London Eng-
land, May 22-30, 1912, has been issued
from the office of the Honorable Secre-
tary, Edward White, of Victoria St.,
Westminster, S. W. The exhibition
will be held at the Royal Hospital.
Chelsea, where about twenty acres of
land have been set aside for the pur-
pose. It is forty-four years since the
last International Horticultural Exhi-
bition was held in London.

Baltimore, Md. — Another severe hail
and rain storm has caused much dam-
age to local conservatories. A consid-
erable quantity of glass, reset but a
few weeks ago following a similar
storm, was broken; hothouse plants
were broken down and the beds flood-
ed. In the fields, the farmers suffered
very heavy losses, the wind and hail
damaging the crops, especially beat-
ing down corn. Fruit trees also were
badly injured. It is stated that in
Westminster (Md.), hailstones four
inches in diameter fell.

Winona Lake, a handsome summer re-
sort, in which are more high-class en-
tertainments than any similar place to
be found anywhere in the country. We
are proud of it and would like all our
friends to come and see for them-
selves. The meeting was well at-
tended, but the exhibition consisted en-
tirely of gladioli, mostly from A. E.
Kunderd of Goshen, originator of the
new Ruffled gladiolus, samples of
which were on display together with a
number of others which were pro-
nounced by all to be the finest they
ever saw. Henry Johnson, Kendal-
ville, also exhibited a vase of creamy
white with pink throat, such as every
florist is looking for for their retail
trade.

The election was the important busi-
ness of the day and resulted as fol-
lows: President, J. D. Conner, Wa-
bash; vice-president, Harry White,
North Manchester; secretary and
treasurer, A. J. Wagoner, Columbia
City; directors, Simon Humfeld, Mun-
cie, and Paul Beyer, South Bend.
Three new members were added, mak-
ing a total of 42.

The next meeting will be at Fort
Wayne, at which time we shall hold
a fall show, which we hope will be
patronized by many outside growers
as a liberal list of premiums will be

offered. The date will be published
later,

A. J. WAGONER, Secretary.

FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHING-
TON.
Wm. F. Gude will entertain the
Florists' Club next Tuesday evening on
the lawn at his residence. It will be
"ladies' night", and the meeting will
be social as well as business. The
principal topic will be the question of
entertaining the members of the S. A.
F. who may come over from Baltimore
when the convention is held in that
city. The Washington florists expect
to do something hospitable, but al-
though a number of plans have been
tentatively suggested, nothing definite
has yet been agreed on, and it is ex-
pected that some decision will be
reached Tuesday night.

F. J. DYER.

St. Louis Florists' Picnic.

This much-talked-ot picnic took
place at beautiful Kaniouia Park,
Thursday, July 20th. A committee
consisting of E. W. Guy, J. J. Beneke
and W. C. Smith had everything in
i .aUiness lor a good day's enjoyment.
The attendance was not quite so large
ms on previous occasions but there was
a good crowd numbering about 400,
the larger part of them going out in
the afternoon in time for dinner. A
fine band kept the young folks in good
humor in the dance hall and the lake
offered fine boating and fishing.

Messrs. Pilcher, Fillmore and Be-
neke were the reception committee and
Al. Gams, "Billy" Patton and F.
Windier had charge of all the games,
lor which fine prizes were offered.

The walking match for growers only
was won by John Connon. Young la-
dies' race won by Miss Anna Bishof.
Girl's race, "Miss Lizzie Lowe. Boy's
race, Wheeler Detgen. Ball throwing
contest for men, Al Gams. Ball
throwing contest for ladies, Mrs. Faer-
ber. Fifty-yard race, for men over 50
years, J. J. Beneke. 100-yard dash for
young men; a field of 15 started in this
and it was won by Oliver K. Sanders.
Married ladies' egg and spoon race,
Mrs. Oscar Kuehn. Hop, step and
jump contest, Al Gams. Tug of war,
two sides of 12 men each, picked by
R. J. Windier; the pull was a long one
and after tugging back and forth the
rope broke and both sides hit the
ground hard, the committee declaring
it a draw. The ball game was de-
clared off as the retailers failed to get
their team out. This, they say, will
be played later in the month. The
prize waltz came next and was judged
by Messrs. Pilcher, Eschher and
Windier. The prize was awarded to
Miss Martha Helwig and Frank
Windier. After supper the young folks
took charge of the dance hall. Every-
one had a splendid time and the day
will long be remembered.

Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos-
ton.

The annual picnic of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club of Boston took
place, as scheduled, on Wednesday,
July 26, at Caledonian Grove, West
Roxbury, Mass. The day could not
have been more delightful as to
weather if made to order, and the
grounds proved to be the most desir-
able and satisfactory which the club
has ever visited. The crowd in at-
tendance was large, and the competi-
tion on the various games and stunts
was very keen.

Wm. J. Kennedy, officiated as ring
master. Edward Rose as starter, Wm.
McGillvray as handicapper, Wm. N.
Craig as clerk, K. Finlayson, Thos.
Westwood, A. F. Barney, Geo. Shield,
James Wheeler, Frank Allison, Wm.
Harvey and Peter Fisher as judges,
James L. Miller as umpire and P. J.
Turley, Wm. Downs, Robt. Cameron,
John P. A. Guerineau, Wm. J. Ken-
nedy and P. M. Miller as committee.

The two great events of the annual
picnic are the baseball game and the
tug-of-war, in each of which the com-
mercial and private gardeners are
pitted against each other. The base-
ball game was won by the commercials

by a very close margin. The captains
were A. E. Walsh, commercial, and
R. W. Curtis, private. The tug-of-war
was won by the private gardeners
under Captain Duncan Finlayson.
Wm. Hastings was captain of the com-
mercial bunch. The fat-men's race,
always a fun provoker, was won by D.
F. Roy of Marion, on a scratch, and
Mr. Roy was the proudest man "that
ever came down the pike."

Prizes for the various classes were
given by Lunt, Moss & Co., T. J. Grey,
Co., W. N. Craig, P. Fisher, M. A. Pat-
ten, Ames Impl. and Seed Co., H. F.

A Chicago Outing.
It takes more than a rainy day to
daunt a crowd of Chicago florists bound
for a picnic. On Sunday as the time
drew near the skies darkened and the
rain fell. Notwithstanding two hun-
dred tickets were presented and not
a florist nor a florists' friend but
stoutly maintain they never had a bet-
ter time than at Erhardts' Grove. Park
Ridge, July 23, 1911. Sympathy is be-
ing freely extended to the Retailers
who were defeated by the Wholesalers
at baseball, the score standing 16 to
9. In the races the prizes were won
as follows.

Girls under 0 — L. Kohout, H Covert.
Bovs under rt— L. Zeck. F. Ottenbaeker.
Girls under 12— H. Covert. A. Serneuz.
Bovs under 12— L. Zeck, G. Erhardt.

Married Ladies— Mrs. P. Olseu. Mrs. Har-
rington.

Mr. Gernenz carried off the honor
due to the fat man. In the 15n-yard
dash open to all Joe Enwert and Mr.
Lullv were winners. L. Koropp and
Mr. McDonald made themselves fa-
mous as pie eaters and received re-
spectively an order for a hat and a
pocket knife.

A Detroit Outing.
The Michigan Cut Flower Exchange
invites all its friends, employees of
local florists and their families, to an
outing, next Monday. The party
will start by boat, leaving at the
foot of Bates street at 1 P. M., going
up the river to Peake Island, and re-
turning at 7.00 P. M. This island was
purchased by the local ferry company
from Mr. Ttieo. D. Buhl, a millionaire
hardware merchant, and it contains a
very large summer residence and ex-
tensive farm buildings. It is well
stocked with the choicest fruits of all
kinds, and is slowly being converted
into a pleasure ground by the ferry
company. It will be the first time
that a party of excursionists have set
foot on the island. To have some idea
of the number who will accept this in-
vitation the Michigan Cut Flower Ex-
change is issuing tickets free of
charge. FRANK DAXZER.

The Cincinnati Florists' Outing.

The Cincinnati Florists held their
annual outing at Coney on last Thurs-
day. A heavy shower towards evening
that lasted for a couple of hours serv-
ed to put a damper on the baseball
game, but not upon the enthusiasm of
the crowd. The games subsequently
lesulted in a bowling match of a
single game which the bowlers with
the aid of two eminent stars won.

The results of the other contests
was as follows:

New York Bowlers.
The generous offer made by F. R.
Pierson of a bowling ball to each of
the five members of the New York
Bowling Club averaging the best in
thirty games from April to August,
will be appreciated by the winners-
Messrs. Chadwick. Manda, Kakuda,
Scott and Shaw, the averages ranging
from 130 to 180. This is not, however,
the team that will represent New York
at Baltimore. Bowling by the New York
Florists' Club's Association continues
every Friday evening. The scores last
week, July 21st, were:

Kakuda 174 179 150 Scott
Manda 199 187 180 Shaw

Chicago Bowlers.
Chicago bowlers met as usual July
18 and as a result of the summer
practice five were selected to represent
the team at the S. A. F. convention in
Baltimore. The fortunate men are .1.
Zeck, W. Wolf, P. Olsen. Geo. Asmus
and I'M. Winterson.

The Michell ball team was again
disappointed on Saturday, the 22nd. in
having their game with Maule's Seed
House cancelled at the last moment.
The manager had to hustle around for
a game, and succeeded in booking the
strong General Electric Company team.
Score: Electrics. 8; Michell. 6. After
the game Miss Mabel Beringer enter-
tained the members of the team at
dinner at her home in Norwood. Pa.,
and a very enjoyable evening was

spent. Next week (July 29th), Mich-
ells cross bats with the team of Pen-
nock-Meehan Company.

CHICAGO NOTES.

Ready for Opening Aug. 1st.
Everything is being rushed to com-
pletion at the building rented by the
Chicago Flower Growers' Association,
at 176 Michigan avenue. The ice box
being built by Orr & Lockett is prob-
ablv the largest built for the trade in
Chicago, and costs $1200. The com-
partments are so constructed that they
can be shut off, reducing space for the
dull season. All the ice is overhead,
thus giving all possible space for
stork. J. Kidwell, president of the as-
sociation, states that all stock from
the sixty growers will be pooled and
then graded, and the system was stud-
ied with the help of an accountant
till it is his belief that the individual
grower will know exactly the grade of
his stock and the price it brings as
well as the amount lost, if any. A
large, light, sorting room at the rear,
an office at the front, and zinc covered
tables complete the equipment. The
basement will be used for storage and
the second floor for plants. Otto W.
Frese, the manager, is getting out cir-
cular letters to the trade this week.
Trade Jottings.
Phil. Schup of the J. A. Budlong Co.
report the shipping trade as very good.
Late asters here look very promising.
The Chicago Carnation Co. are cut-
ting the best asters seen in the market
this week. They are grown under
glass.

Frank Beu, whose place on North
40th avenue has steadily grown in
value, has now added a lot 100x175
facing on Montrose avenue and corner-
ing on the original place. This gives
an excellent store site and possibilities
of extending the business in that rap-
idly growing section.

O. J. Friedman will open his new
store, known as the Western Floral
Co., at 63 W. Congress street, Aug. 1st.
Richard Rolston, formerly with J. F.
Kidwell & Bro. will be in charge.
Personal.
Henry Van Gelder who has been
seriously ill is again seen in the mar-
ket.

Frank Ayers is in Paris, Texas, call-
ed home by the serious illness of his
mother. Mrs. H. C. Lark.

Miss Ella Schaefer is missed from
the stenographer's desk at Bassett &
Washburn's, and will be away two
weeks.

Miss Corinne Pherson, of Vaughan
& Sperry's has returned from Buchan-
an, Mich., and Miss Charlotte Para-
dise has a leave of absence early in
August.

John Starrett, florist of the La Salle
hotel underwent an operation this
week necessitated by a fall on the icy
stairs going into the market two
years ago.

John Pavechick. head of the wire de-
partment of the E. H. Hunt Co., is en-
joying a postponed vacation. Several
large orders have kept the entire force
at work overtime for weeks.

Among those enjoying vacations at
this time are Robt. Northam, manager
for Geo. Reinberg. at White Lake,
Mich.; R. E. Schiller, at Sioux Falls;
Herman Schiller at Sister Lakes,
Mich.; Jack Byers on a lake trip, and
F. Wright, in Michigan.

MINNEAPOLIS CIVIC CELEBRA-
TION.

The city of Minneapolis has just
closed a colossal civic celebration in
which the formal completion of the
great public park project of uniting
the waters of Lake Calhoun with Lake
of the Isles was a central feature. The
affair, which extended over the period
of a week and upon which over $100,-
000 was expended for spectacular fea-
tures, was not designed to be wholly
entertaining but included much that
was educational and inspiring.

From the beginning to the end every
feature was a success. Everything
was executed with a completeness that
tin' words "well done" could be asso-
ciated with each and every event. All
the prominent streets were richly-
adorned with elaborate decorations
On about two miles of business and
one and one-half miles of residential
streets floral decorations, consisting
mainly of window boxes, were the chief
attraction. One of the best decorations
was that along the "Nicollet Court of
Honor." Upon entering this court one
was confronted by a continuous per-
spective of festooned green attached to
great white pilasters in line on either
side of the court. The windows of the
buildings were filled with flower boxes,
which in mass gave one the idea of a
vertical flower garden. The composi-
tion was unique and beautiful in the
daytime, and at night, being brilliant-
ly illuminated, compared with fairy-
land.

We show in this connection pictures
depicting the type of window boxes
most widely used. It will be noted
that the make up is of plants of mod-
erate cost, easy care and good staying
qualities so that the show will be at-

tractive all through the summer and
people generally may be expected to
follow the example thus given of the
fine results obtainable from a trifling
expenditure. The contents of the
boxes are given as follows:

The box shown in illustration No. 1
is six feet in length, one foot wide and
ten inches deep. It contains forty-two
plants, namely: Two each of Dracaena
indivisa, nasturtium, German ivy; four
each daisies, Vinca minor, coleus, Be-
gonia Vernon, sweet alyssum; eight
each "Howard's Star" petunia and S.
A. Nutt geranium. Illustration No. 2
shows boxes four feet in length each
containing two each of Dracaena in-
divisa. nasturtium and heliotrope:
three coleus, four each vinca and gera-
nium, six petunia and six lantana —
twenty-nine plants in all. The nastur-
tiums and other vines starting from

the ground will soon reach and inter-
mingle with the box plants making
a very pleasing effect.

Minneapolis, as already noted, has
the making of one of the finest park
systems in the world. Same consists
of 3400 acres of park land and 37
miles of boulevards, and is under the
management of that resourceful and
tireless man who has no superior in
his field of work, Theodore Wirtb, su-
perintendent. The boulevards at pres-
ent extend more than half-way around
the city and in the near future it is
planned to make them a concentric
feature, thus enabling one to reach
all of the large parks by way of the
boulevards. It is within these large
parks that some of the greatest events
of this Civic Celebration have taken
place.

THE EVOLUTION AND POLLINA-
TION OF SWEET PEAS.

Dr. A. C. Beal before tlie National Sweet
Pea Society of America.

Evolution.
During the first one hundred years
of the history of the sweet pea only
three varieties or colors were known,
viz . purple with blue wings, pale red
with white wings (Painted Lady), and
white. The black and scarlet appeared
in the last years of the eighteenth cen-
tury. It is quite probable that the
scarlet was very far from what we
conceive a scarlet sweet pea should be
I inlay. In Martyn's edition of Miller's
Gardener's Dictionary, 1807, we find
t be white, the Old Painted Lady, the
New Painted Lady, the latter with a
rose-colored standard and pale rose
wings, old Purple, and a variety hav-
ing a violet keel and wings and pur-
ple standard. Savers describe the scar-
lel sweet pea as Lathyrus More rosea,
while the Painted Lady is described
as "Fleshed" color. From this we

l u\

HORTICULTURE

maj conclude thai the New Painted
Lady, a rose-colored varh tj . was sum.
times called scarlet.

The first ol the striped varieties was
offered in 1837 and since thai date this
group has been augmented until the
classification now Includes Striped and
Flaked (red and rose, purple and blue).
This classification, however, does not
express the real range of color in this
group, tor we have crimson stripes, e.
g., America; red and rose stripes on
white— Aurora; red and rose stripes on
primrose — Jessie Cuthbertsoh; mauve
stripes — Gaiety; blue stripes — Prince
Olaf, and Mester maroon-flaked like
Senator. The American growers have
introduced the majority of the best
varieties uf this group among which
are America, Aurora, Columbia, Day-
break, Gray Friar, Juanita, Pink Friar,
Ramona and Wawona. Many of these
are now procurable in the waved form.

The variety Blue Edged, the probable
forerunner of the picotee forms, ap-
peared in 18G0. This was a white va-
riety with a well-defined blue edge, a
probable hybrid between L. Magcllani-
cus and a white variety of L. odoratus.
The variety, at all events, was the
first to exhibit a distinct blue color
among sweet peas. Later it was known
as Blue Hybrid, under which it won
an award from the Royal Horticul-
tural Society. Sutton & Sons sent out
Butterfly in 1878, which somewhat re-
iled Blue Edged. The so-called
"blues" that followed wire Invincible
Blue, Madame Cat licit or Imperial Blue,
and Captain of the Blues, all of which
had considerable red in the standard.
It was not until 1899 that a good blue,
in Navy Blue (Lord Nelson), ap-
peared.

The first of the soft pink varieties
was ('town Princess of Prussia, 1868-9.
Isa Ke^ford, Peach Blossom, and Love-
ly are the improved varieties of this
color.

The efforts of the breeders of sweet
peas have not all been directed toward
the development of new shades of col-
or. The form of the flower has also
received attention. The earliest repre-
sentations of sweet pea flowers show a
loose, irregular bloom, with the edges
of the standard turned back, i. e., re-
flexed. Often, if not always, the stand-
ard had the notch in the apex and fre-
quently in the margin. The standard,
which is the principal part of the
flower, has been improved in sub-
stance and the notches have been
eliminated. The old type had a nar-
row base, and with the improvement
noted has come a "filling out" of the
lower edges of the standard so that the
outline approaches a circle.

In their efforts to secure varieties of
the best expanded or open form many
beautiful hooded varieties were origi-
nated. While this form was con-
demned as inartistic by many sweet
pea specialists, it nevertheless secured
a permanent place. Prima Donna,
Lovely and Countess of Radnor are of
this form.

When many had reached the con-
clusion that no further advances in
either size or form were to be expected
and that the efforts of future breeders

would be directed toward securing new
colors and more Bowers per stem, Na
imv demonstrated that she had other
surprises In stun-.

In I :m 1 1 tin C(, unless Spencer varie-
ty was exhibited and caused quite ;i
sensation. The National Sweet Pea
Society awarded it the highest honors.
This varii n was distinct from all

preceding introductions because the

standard and wings waved. The flow-
ers were veiy large and borne in
fours on stunt stems. It was intro-
duced in 1904.

The parentage of this variety has
been given as (Lovely x Triumph
1898) x Prima Donna 1899. However,
there appeared in 1905 a variety named
Gladys Unwin which was the same
color, but smaller and less waved
than Countess Spencer, which was a
selection from Prima Donna without
known crossing being effected. These
varieties, however, were forerunners of
the new type which revolutionized
sweet pea culture in England and has
revived and quickened the interest in
America.

Pollination.
We have previously noted that the
pistil and stamens are enclosed in the
keel formed by the partial coalescing
of the two lower petals. A very
slight pressure upon the base of the
keel will cause the pistil to suddenly
appear in the tip of the keel. The stig-
matic surface is usually covered with
pollen, and at the same time the sta-
mens appear to view. If the pressure
is released these organs disappear as
suddenly from view.

Those who are looking for flower
adaptations for the promotion of
cross-fertilization would say at once
that here we have a mechanism which
is operated by the weight of a bee
alighting on the keel, and the pistil
and stamens rise up striking it upon
the body, receiving and giving pol-
len. Thus as the insect visits flower
after flower, natural cross-fertiliza-
tion is carried on.

This, however, is not the case. In
the first place, if we examine flowers
in the bud stage, we find the pollen
ripe. The position and condition of
the stigma changes, for before the
maturation of the pollen, the stigma is
below the anthers. A day or two
later the stigma has risen to a posi-
tion among the anthers and is viscid
enough to hold the pollen grains.

In another day or two it has grown
beyond the anthers. Self-fertilization
has taken place and the development
of the legume begun. This process has
taken place before the flower is fully
open. Sometime later the pistil is
pushed out of the protecting keel by
the developing pod.

Such is the normal fertilization of
sweet peas, as observed upon examina-
tion of the flowers. Attention has
been called to the fact that the sweet
pea stood practically for one hundred
and fifty years, and the question asked
how it can be reconciled with natural
cross-fertilization.

During the writer's experience in
the field last season for three months
studying varieties and recording ob-
servations, not a single instance oc-
curred of a bee alighting upon the keel
of the flower, nor were any observed
crawling between the wings. All the
bees observed visiting the flowers,
alighted on the outside of the wings,

and in practically every case, thrust
the proboscis down between the right
wing and the standard. In this con-
nection it may be mentioned that the
bees did not show a preference for
any particular color, but flew from row
to row and color-section to color-
section.

Mr. T. H. Dipnall has observed that
bees attack sweel pea flowers. The
bee (a yellow and white banded
species) alighted on the calyx, crawled
around to a certain position, and cut
a hole through the calyx so that it
could thrust its proboscis through and
suck the nectar at the base of the pod.
The reason is not clear why the in-
sect prefers one side of the flower
since the structure is similar on each
side.

It is to be remembered in this dis-
cussion that sweet peas grown under
glass in winter are not visited by bees,
but every flower in sunny weather
will set seed if the blooms are not
kept cut.

Since the introduction of the waved
type there has been much discussion
about the difficulty in fixing varieties
and the reasons for it. Some growers,
having secured what was to all in-
dications a fixed stock, discovered after
sending it out, that it was not fixed.
Some growers thought it only occurred
when the novelty was sent to Cali-
fornia to work up a large stock of
seed, or after it had passed into the
hands of the California growers. One
of the theories advanced to explain
this was that some insect in California
was responsible for some cross-pollin-
ation of flowers. In our own trials
this past season no differences were
observed between English or American
grown stock since we had seeds of
novelties direct from the originators
and our varieties were from the in-
troducers. Others say that bees visit
the flowers and they believe that cross-
ing takes place in the waved type
which it is maintained does not pro-
duce normal flowers in that the pistil
sometimes projects beyond the keel.

It appears that if this view is cor-
rect the poor seeding of the waved
type would not occur or at least that
the worse the fault of the flowers the
greater the crop of seed. Thus the
varieties which seeded freely would be-
come cheap and drive out the others.
The writer thinks that the results ob-
tained by the seed growers contradict
the theory. It appears that the poor
setting of seed may be due to the fact
that the pistil may grow out beyond
the anthers before the latter are ma-
ture and thus fertilization be pre-
vented by irregular development of
the parts. Otherwise the pollen may
be impotent in some varieties, but this
does not occur so far as the writer
has studied the reports of the sweet
pea breeders. The writer did not ob-
serve any pistils showing the defect
mentioned, but as our season was very
dry our plants did not make an excep-
tional growth which would be likely
to express itself in abnormal flowers.
However, it was observed that some
varieties seeded more freely than
others. We have planted most of the
varieties this year from seeds saved In
1910, and knowing those which were
fixed last year as well as those with
rogues of certain colors we think that
some light may come upon this mat-
ter of cross-fertilization, if any, in the
sweet pea.

THE NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS
FOR 1911.

Bead Before the Morris Couuty Gardeners'
and Florists' Society bj >'. u. Totty.

Just as regular as the year rolls
around, so does the chrysanthemum
enthusiast, at flowering time propound
the question, "What have you that is
in w in 'mums?"

There seems to he a perpetual crav-
ing among the chrysanthemum .mow-
ers, more than any other flower grow-
ers, t'oi' something different. Since 1
have been giving you what we may
here term as the "Yearly Digest" of
new varieties, Which now extends over
a period of nine or ten years, we have
seen tnan\ wonderful changes in the
chrysanthemum. The marvellous
flowers of Mis. David Synie, exhibited
at our own show last fall demonstrates
perhaps a greater advance than any
other variety, although in any color
the peer of five years ago is of very
average quality today. Chrysanthe-
mums, it is true, run out more quickly
than roses or carnations and many
new varieties must be continually
raised to keep the standard moving
upward and onward, hut, even if they
did not run out, the variety that we
thought was a king five years ago,
would he easily outdistanced in the
shows of 1911 by this year's seedlings.

The chrysanthemum today is syste-
matically hybridized and a careful and
scientific record is kept of the peculiar-
ities and good points of each variety.
\\ here variety has perhaps a splendid
color and is deficient in foliage the hy-
bridizer will use that type just to get
the color fit on a sturdy stem or he
will proceed to work on a variety that
is perfect in form but small, to get
that same form in a flower two or
three times as large. The old days of
saving seed indiscriminately from pol-
lination by the wind or bees, are past
and while one cannot yet definitely
forcast exactly what will result from
different crossings, a percentage of the
seedlings will come near the desired
result.

I will briefly describe a few of the
novelties for 1911. What the varieties
that I recommended so highly last
year have done, is now a matter of
history, Mrs. D. Syme, Howard Gould,
L'lnou and Onunda being among the
most prominent flowers in the exhibi-
tion just past. It is very encouraging
to see one's varieties maintain their
winning way year after year, but, as
before stated the result is due to scien-
tific selection of the seedlings and we
may reasonably expect that still fur-
ther advances will be made in the
future.

Looking first at the variety Wm.
Turner; this showed up splendidly
with us. though stock was too limited
to be exhibited at many of the shows.
Mr. Wells stated, when writing regard-
ing its winning the Gold Medal at
Edinburg, that it would easily beat
Mrs. Syme. Those of us who remem-
bered the way Mrs. Syme was exhib-
ited at Morristown in November, might
perhaps be .pardoned for a little scepti-
cism, did we not know that in almost
every case, varieties sent out by Mr.
Pockett as improvements on this or
that, have invariably fulfilled the pre-
diction of their raiser. Wm. Turner
is an excellent grower, just as strong
as Mrs. Syme and it will be interesting

to note how long it takes the former
variety to climb to the top of the heap.

The variety that 1 like best of all the
novelties is Mrs. G. C. Kelly. This
in certainly a splendid grower and
seems to combine every good feature
i in chrysanthemum should have, ami
so far as I could see from my limited
stock, has no faults whatever. 1 had
seven plants and each one produced a
perlecl flower. The color is old rose
wilh a reverse light enough to give a
: i meal effect of silvery pink. 1 have
predicted that this variety will be a
leader in the shows next fall. Time
will prove whether 1 am righL or not.

E. M. Byrnes, which many ol you
saw growing at my place is not going
to Bet the world on fire for size. It is
only medium, hut the color is wonder-
fully brilliant. We have today many
Splendid scarlets raised from the same
stock, Pockett's Crimson, Pocket t's
Surprise and Leslie Morrison being
pi i haps the most largely grown.
Byrnes, on account of its wonderful
color, is entitled to be grown along-
side of these kinds and I think it pos-
sesses wonderful possibilities for the
hybridizer.

Harry E. Converse may be described
as an improved Howard Gould, giving
somewhat the same color with a larger
flower and heavier growth. My only
objection tu Converse is that it is so
slow in reproducing that I am afraid
most of the exhibitors this year will
have to go without it, as stock is al-
together too limited for general distri-
bution. Lady Carmichael is a while
which was heavily recommended by
its behavior in Australia. Past per-
formances have taught us that varie-
ties that do well in Australia and
stand the sun and weather will also
do well here, as our climalic condi-
tions are much the same. When we
get temperatures running up into the
seventies, and brilliant sunshine, un-
less a variety has lots of petals in it,
it will become hollow-eyed and is then
only half Us proper size. Carmichael
should next year make an excellent
showing as it is a splendid grower and
carries itself like a major. I think
when this variety gets into general
cultivation it will be considerablj
grown by the commercial men to
whom stiffness of stem is one of the
chief essentials of profitable cultiva-
tion. These varieties are the cream
of the Australian seedlings imported
for testing iu this country and repre-
sent the final assortment of a great
many thousand seedlings and it is in a
large measure due to this unsparing
pruning down that the Wells-PocKett
varieties occupy the enviable position
that they do at the present time.

Of the American-raised seedlings, F.
E. Nash is the only one I have seen
personally and I am consequently noi
in a position to say much regarding
others. Nash is a Duckham seedling,
having much the same color and
splendid habit of growth but it has re-
flexed petals, whereas the Duckham
petals are incurved. There are other
American seedlings — Tarrytown, Mor-
ristown, Lenox, Glen. Cove, etc. — but
I have not seen any of them and there-
fore am not in a position to give you
any information about them.

The novelties in types other than the
tremendous exhibition flowers also
show marked improvement. The new-
est singles, for instance are very dif-

fer ut to the types we were working
witli five years ago. Some of the best
of this year's set are Miss Hilda Wells,
a beautiful red with a yellow zone at
i In- base of the petals; Crimson Mary
Richardson, which is a sport of the
popular single ever sent out —
Marj Kiehardson, and is worth grow-
ing by everyone; and two very hand-
yellOWS are Margaret Totty and
Emma L. Davis.

And while Bpeaking of singles 1 may
here mention that during the past two
or three years I have been experiment
ing and working up a group of what 1
term, Early-Flowering Outside
Singles, which 1 have gotten down to
such a fine point that 1 can guarantee
them to be in full bloom the last week
in August and the Ural week iu Sep-
tember. These, no doubt, will fill a
long-li It want and will give a mucn
different appearance to the estates and
gardens where the superintendent is
an enterprising man and wishes
flowers along the drive or in clumps
on the place. It not only adds to the
beauty of the same but they will give
an over-abundance of flowers to use,
whereas if it weren't for these, as has
been the place appears barren. Now
if he wants to find something to cut
he has it. These single chrysanthe-
mums are certainly very effective no
matter how they are used.

Pompons are not grown as much as
I think they should be. Any gardener
who has to produce great quantities of
flowers from a limited space will find
it hard to grow anything that will
give as good return for the time and
space involved as these chrysanthe-
mums. They can be grown outdoors
all summer and lifted in the fall and
potted or stuck into a deep frame and
they will give an abundance of flowers
until quite late in November. Some
newer varieties that are not as yet
generally distributed are: Barney,
Golden Bronze, Myer's Perfection, a
m t y handsome white, Sylvia, Urith,
Windlass and Yellow Gem.

The type known as Early Flowering
varieties, which many of you with an
old-country training will recall as
flowering so profusely outdoors during
the months of August and September,
will also give you varieties well
worthy of your time and attention. We
have been importing these sorts for the
last three years trying to get a selec-
tion that would come early enough to
give good satisfaction before the
frosts. As you are probably aware the
intensely hot sun in July and August
causes most of the early buds of these
varieties to dry up. This is, of course,
explained by the fact that the chrysan-
themum is a cool-grow'ing plant. I
would suggest, wherever possible, to
plant them on a border facing north,
where the rays of the very hot sun do
not rest on them for many hours dur-
ing the day; also, where a man is not
handling very many, a continuous use
of the sprayer will help much to de-
velop and expand the buds, thereby di-
minishing the loss of the same.

We now have some fifteen or
eighteen varieties that will begin to
flower the third week in August. They
need no greenhouse and one need not
worry about bud selection; simply give
good soil ami persistent cultivation.
Plants set out in the spring and left
to develop naturally produce handsome
es literally covered with flowers.
I would state that as a commercial

Cable reports from England would
indicate that sweet pea seed crops there
will only be about one-third of an
average.

Michigan has been favored with
rain, which happy occurence ought to
make the pea and bean growers dance
and clap their hands with joy.

San Jose, Cal.— Chas. Schlessinger
of San Francisco has purchased the
650-acre seed farm of the Braslan Seed
Growers' Co. on Downer avenue.

W. Atlee Burpee, who has been at-
tending the sweet pea show in Eng-
land will visit the cultures of Hjal-
mar Hartmann & Co., Copenhagen,
with his son, by the end of July.

Salina, Kan.— The shortage of crops
in the West has caused such a drain
on the cane, kafflr corn and millet seed
markets in Salina as to empty them
completely. As a result, it is said, it
is simply impossible to buy the seed
here now. Cane, millet and kaffir corn
are the late crops and the farmers of
western Kansas, spurred to hope by
the rains that came too late to save
their wheat, are planting large acre-
ages of the feed crops. Shipment af-
ter shipment of the seed has gone
West on the Union Pacific and Mis*
souri Pacific main lines, and up the
Plainville branch. Whether this short-
age will work a hardship or not is not
known. A number of people in this
vicinity have contemplated plowing up
patches of potatoes because of the
failure of the crop and putting it in
cane or millet, and it may be that
they can not obtain the seed. — Topeka
Journal.

Phoenix, Ariz.— A new firm, the Ari-
zona Seed Co., has located at 137 No.
Central avenue. Wm. S. Humbert, pro-
prietor of the John Orme ranch, is
president and Marshall Humphrey is
manager.

W. Atlee Burpee reports from Lon-
don, England, that the exhibition of
the National Sweet Pea Society was a
great success. A remarkable feature
of same was the evident passing of the
grandiflora type into oblivion— as not
more than twelve or fifteen of these
were shown. Everything Spencer.

Hugh Dickson comes out strongly
against the practice which seems to
have crept into the British trade of
having several names for the same
thing in sweet peas. This no doubt is
accidental in some cases; and may be
genuine duplicate sports in others; but
at any event the result is confusion—
and the list ought to be reduced.

There is lots of talk about the Co-
penhagen market cabbage of late. One
authority claims it is the earliest flat
head in existence. It also has supe-
rior quality; trims up well, and gives
%ery little waste. R. L. Watts of
State College. Pa., is an enthusiast,
and we shall have a report from him
on the subject later.

A DETROIT BANQUET DECORA-

The accompanying illustration shows
a most unusual treatment of a large
banquet table which will no doubt in-
terest those ot our readers who are
called upon from time to time for
work of this character. In reply to
our inquiry as to details of the de-

carried out the work, responded as
follows:

Flower Market Reports.

A few cool nights this
BOSTON week have had the effect
of shortening up the sup-
ply, but not much influence yel in im-
proving the quality of stock ((lining
in. Roses are from young plants most-
ly and the buds and stems are of the
pee-wee order. Beauty roses are in
fair demand and normal supply. Car-
nations are very poor — hardly worth
making mention of them. Asters are
on the increase. The quality is not
bad considering the conditions, and
the blooms, although small, show that
they are mostly of the better types
and not the little runts that in years
past composed most of the early ship-
ments. Lily of the valley is in light
demand but some of it is superb in all
respects and well worthy of the top
price. Lilies of good quality are in
fair supply and excellent demand.
Gardenias are again in sight and will
be obtainable regularly throughout
the balance of the season.

There is practically no
BUFFALO change in the market
conditions from previous
weeks, stock a little on the scarce
side, and at times certain material
hard to get. Asters and gladioli are
just coming on, but no large quanti-
ties are had as yet. The demand has
been good on roses though Beauties
have not moved as fast as wished for.
Killainey and other roses have been
fairly good, and sold very satisfactor-
ily. There are fine lilies in the market,
also lily of the valley, but the latter
are not overplentiful. Corn flowers
and a few other garden flowers, are
about the only thing received, and
have sold very well.

Conditions have not
CHICAGO changed in the Chicago
cut flower market during
the past week except possibly in de-
gree. The scarcity of good stock at
this season is not unusual but it is
more scarce than in other years. The
temperature has taken a decided drop,
and for the past two weeks stock along
all lines has been greatly invigorated
but no increase in quantity. This is
especially noticeable in roses and some
very fair summer stock is now on the
counters. The general tendency is to
dispose of all stock each day; only a
small amount, if any, is left over.
Shipping trade is very lively showing
the scarcity of flowers to be general.
Asters are coming in this week much
more freely, and many of them are
good for the first of the season. Stems
are now reaching from eighteen to
twenty inches. Prospects are for a
good gladiolus season. The market has
this flower in all sizes and colors.
Beauties are gaining each week. Lilies
of several kinds; lily of the valley,
gypsophila and a few sweet peas all
tend to help out the summer supply.

Summer flowers seem
CINCINNATI to be taking their
own sweet time about
coming into the market this season.
Where other summers at this time the
supply of asters and gladioli was easily
adequate or more than adequate, this
year they are just beginning to arrive
in any quantity at all. On Tuesday
of this week the first large shipments
of asters came in. The prices on all
stock is holding up in a way that must
be most gratifying to the growers.
Roses are now too plentiful and clean

ASTERS

For the early varieties,
good sized flowers with long
stems, splendid quality; pinks,
purples and whites. Orders
of any size can be taken care
of on short notice, our grow-
ers cutting in large quantities,
which reach us daily about
8 a. m.

$1.00 to $2.00 per hundred
Extra choice $3.00 per hundred

NOTE:

This has been a trying season for Asters. Our
growers have been particularly fortunate, and our
qualities are therefor, above the average. The best
values going ! We take no credit for this. It is Fate.

HP very readily. Longiflorum lilies,
auratums and rubrums sell well and
are always offered in more or less
quantity. Considerable feverfew and
hardy hydrangeas are also being util-
ized. As a whole the market is far
short of the amount of cut flowers it
might use at the time of the present
writing. The green goods market is
ample.

Conditions here are ah-
DETROIT solutely unchanged. The

rain which appeared a
week ago was of too short a duration
to be of any account, still we had a
nice cool week which was somewhat
refreshing to out-of-door crops. The
present high wind is annulling the
benefits of several heavy showers. Sev-

Flower Market Reports NEW YORK QUOTATIONS PER 100. To Dealers Only

(Continued from page fjj)

eral interviews with wholesale grow-
ers confirm the writer's previous pro-
phesy that next winter will see a
greater scarcity in carnations than
last winter. The plants being housed
now are, as a rule, much smaller in
the crown than a year ago and we all
know what this means. Those who
had a perfect watering system in their
fields lost most of its good through the
extreme heat.

Business shows little
NEW YORK change from last

week — a decrease, if
anything. On the other hand the sup-
ply of roses is probably at its mini-
mum. Carnations are out of the run-
ning, hut aster shipments are steadily
increasing. The quality of these is
ordinary, for the most pait. though
some good flowers are seen. Queen of
the Market is the prevailing variety.
Lilies are more plentiful, a belter sup-
ply being in prospect. Gladioli are not
showing up well; there are more poor
flowers than good ones. The lily of
the valley situation is easier as there
seems to be a halt in the demand.
Quotations on orchids remain un-
changed. There is little call for srni-
lax or asparagus.

Considering that
PHILADELPHIA this is the good
old summer time
last week's business was fully equal to,
if not above, the average of former
yeais, and the prices realized for the
si iK v received were in the main as
good as could have been expected, if
not better. Asters and gladioli are
now leading features in the market.
Both items meet with a ready sale.
Our opinion is that asters as a rule do
not compare lavorably with last year,
as yet, the dry weather early in the
season having given the extra-earlies
a great set bac«. There is, however,
one of our markets a conspicuous ex-
ception to this, for some reason. There
they are very good, but no particulars
aie forthcoming to account for the
phenomenon. Climatic condition; ir-
rigation; or something — perhaps. But
in a wee.-c or so we shall have the finer
mid-season varieties, and then the out-
loot; will be for "some class" in the
aster market. Gladioli are fine and
selling well. There is not much to be
said lor the rose market. Beauties sold
up pretty well and they may be said to
be about the only variety that makes
anything like a show for the money.
-Mai viands are the best sellers among
the pinks. Brides have come bar.

their last legs. Orchids and lily of the
valley both good. Enough for the de-
mand. Tiger lilies, also speciosum rub-
rum and album are welcome new ar-
rivals. Longifiorums are in excellent
demand and prices have jumped quite
a little. Too many plumosus, ad-
iantum and other greens around — as
is usual at this time of year.

The marKet was any-
ST. LOUIS thing but good all of
last week. Stock that
is coming in now is not good but still
the wholesalers are asking good prices.
The best sellers are gladioli and it
looks as though the market will be
crowded with all varieties before the
end of the week. Carnations are very
few and poor. Everything else is plen-
tiful except smilax, for which there
was an extra good demand all of last
week. The weather is still warm and
the dry spell is playing havoc with all
plants in the fields.

Business is decided-
WASHINGTON ly dull. The slack-
ness of trade is
being utilized to redress show windows
and do other things which are neg-
lected during the busy season. At
Gude's floral store a very attractive
rockwork fountain has been con-
structed in the center of the store,
with an arrangement which permits of
throwing on colored lights from be-
neath the fountain. This electric
fountain will be a feature of the es-
tablishment for some months at least.
Stock is scarce and prices but indif-
ferent. All outdoor stuff has suffered
from the hot, dry weather, and al-
though there have been showers re-
cently, it is doubted whether they
have come in time to do much good.

with a portrait of R. Vincent, v .
president for 1910, and there are sev-
eral full page illustrations of exhibits,
etc. Secietary T. B. Symons has given
us a very instructive and readable vol-
ume and from it we are convinced
that the Maryland State Society is do-
ing a good and practical work.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.
Maryland State Horticultural So-
ciety. Report of Summer Meeting held

City of Boston; Department of Parks.
36th Annual Report of the Board of
Commissioners for the year ending
January 31, 1911. The contents of this
volume are, as usual, interesting. The
general report of the Commissioners
to the Mayor of Boston is the first
chapter and then follows the report
of Superintendent Pettigiew to the
Commissioners. Details of location,
area and equipment of parks and play-
grounds, expenditures, income, better-
ments, statistics, etc., are given and
then comes the report of Olmsted
Brothers, a comprehensive document
occupying 54 out of the 95 pages com-
prised in the volume, recounting the
deductions from an inspection of the
Boston parks and submitting com-
ments and suggestions on matters of
design connected therewith.

Superintendent Pettigrew's report is
mainly statistical but it describes with
characteristic enthusiasm the estab-
lishment of a herbaceous or "Grand-
mother's" garden in Franklin Park
last year and a picture of this feature
is inserted. Three elaborate plans of
the proposed zoological gardens art
bound in the book.

Blooms, report of the proceedings at

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN,
SHORT COURSE.

The University of Missouri an-
nounces the appointment of Mr. A. J.
Meyer of Howell, Michigan, as super-
intendent of the short winter courses
in agriculture. Mr. Meyer was formerly
a student of the University of Wis-
cousin, and assisted in the instruction
of short course students at that insti-
tution. In 1910 and 1911 he was in-
structor in the short winter courses at
Missouri. The appointment of Mr.
Meyer indicates that the University
will increase its facilities for instruc-
tion in this popular course, and will
make every effort to provide for the
increasing numbers already assured
for the coming year.

The facilities of the Missouri Col-
lege of Agriculture have been taxed to
the utmost by the large enrollment of
students during the past two years.
The two year short course, which be-
gins November 1 each year, and con-
tinues until March 1, has attracted
larger and larger numbers of students,
until during the past year the enroll-
ment reached more than three hun-
dred.

The college has come to be regarded

dening is indispensable to those

business interests of the state, and
young men who, eight or ten years
ago, would have taken up the study of
law, medicine or engineering are now

On some of its out-lying farms, the
experiment station has succeeded in
increasing the yield of clover from
one-half to two tons per acre by
proper soil management, and in South-
west Missouri it has been shown that
corn may be increased twenty bushels
per acre and 'wheat twelve. The horti-
cultural department has discovered
methods of pruning peach trees so as
to produce two additional crops in
eight years.

It is said that of the
200,000 new automo-
biles sold in the United
States last year fully
one third of them were
made in Detroit, Mich-
igan. No wonder it is
called the automobile
state.

y§ The L amd E
Iron Frame

Here is one recently erected for Henry Ford, the great

automobile manufacturer. A splendid big square palm house

and a two compartment, curvilinear wing. It's one of those

houses of ours that is more than half iron. Aside from the

glazing members the frame is made completely of iron. Built

to last, and it will. Built to grow the

best that's possible — and it does. Built

to be an attractive feature of the

grounds— and it most decidedly is. If

you want a thoroughly up-to-date

house built by absolutely reliable

people, then send for our catalog. It's

a most convincing bit of convince-

ment. When sending, kindly include

and address and we will see that he

your employer's name
gets one too.

FOR SUMMER FLOWERING

We have an unusually fine lot of Hydrangeas, which have been held dormant all winter. These plants
are now in bud and bloom, and will flower in fine shape during July and August. We have a fine lot of
blue hydrangeas, as well as pink. Plants are in splendid shape for immediate use, and will flower during
July and August — at a time of the year when they are in the greatest demand.

We can furnish these plants in ordinary butter tubs at $2.00 and $3.00 each.

Plants in new cedar tubs, painted green, with handles, as follows: Well budded plants in 14-inch tubs,
$3.00 each; 16-inch tubs, $4.00 and $5.00 each.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally fine lot of Boston Ferns of the Harrisii type; also a splendid lot of Pierson
Ferns. Good, bushy, well-grown plants in 8-lnch pots, that will please the most critical buyer, $1.00 each.

LILIU

THE BERMUDA EASTER LILY

We offer a selected and carefully grown stock of the original pure Harrisii. There are only one or two
lots of bulbs on the island as good as the stock that we offer. We take pleasure in offering this stock, be-
cause it will be found to be very superior to the average stock that is generally offered. This is one of the
healthiest and cleanest lots, and will give much better satisfaction than the stock usually obtainable. Our
customers who had Harrisii from us last year stated it was the best they had received in years.

We have only a limited stock, which we are offering, and when stock is exhausted, we shall have no
more to offer this season.

Fine selected bulbs, 6-7 inch, 350 to the case, $16.00 per case, or full thousand lots at $45.00 per 1,000;
7-9 inch, 200 to the case, $17.00 per case, or full thousand lots at $80.00 per 1,000; 9-11 inch, 100 to the case,
$18.00 per case, or full thousand lots at $175.00 per 1,000.

It appears to be quite a common custom of
-Floral 1;,,,., for the "floral artist" who has executed
Art" a wheelbarrow, fire truck or similar "design
work" in flowers or for the trade paper
which like* to adorn its pages with illustrations of such
masterpieces, to take refuge in an apologetic sort of way
behind the plea that the customer was determined to
have this and would not accept anything else. In
these gratuitous admissions of "the small voice within"
we think we can Bee indication of a healthy awakening
to a realization of the incongruity of these crude pro-
ductions and that the florist owes it to his profession and
the public to endeavor to develop his art to a higher and
better plane. At the meeting of the retailers in con-
nection with the Baltimore Convention advantage
should be taken of the present receptive attitude of the
trade on this important subject, and a campaign of edu-
cation upward inaugurated.

That florist who advertises his business
Where many most liberally and continuously in lo-
fiorists lack cai newspapers, street cars and other
available publicity mediums will be
found almost invariably to be the busiest and most pros-
perous in his line in his town. There are exceptions, of
course, for advertising unsupported by good manage-
ment loses much of its value. Indeed, it is a question
whether the success which comes to the persistent ad-
vertising florist is a direct result of the advertising or
is due rather to the exercise of a clear-headed business
ability of which a well-directed advertising campaign is
only .me outward manifestation. Considering, however,
the overwhelming proportion of floral establishments in
which modern business system is practically disre-
garded and things run just at random, it is easy to see
that there is a big field for improvement if the florist oc-
cupation is to attain its due and rightful position
among the foremost commercial industries.

It is not easy to imagine any more ef-
••Let your fective advertising expedient than a well-
light shine" maintained place brilliantly adorned with
tasteful examples of the use of plants
and all the appointments kept in harmony and up to
the standard appropriate to an avocation in which re-
finement and artistic taste are dominant qualities. That
so few, comparatively, of the florists' establishments one
sees in traveling from place to place are so kept and
adorned is a reflection far from favorable to the florist
business as a whole. In that bright little pamphlet,
"Bulb Talks," issued by E. M. Ward & Co., on which

■ mmented in a previffns issue, there are son \eel-

1,-nt hit- of advice and suggestion to the local florist as
to Ways and means of publicity and surprise is ex-
d at the rarity of business signs on these establish-
ments. As Mr. Ward says -there are thousands of
ants in the United States without a sign
of the proprietor's name about the place. In this re-
a very valuable asset is neglected and lost."

Some Choice Conifers

Coniferous evergreens are of rach paramount impor-
tance in all forma of landscape gardening in the colder

part* of tin- United 9 that it is somewhat surpris-

ing thai more attention is doI given to the choicer and
mure beautiful kind-. Although many thousands are
planted annually these are ei imposed of comparatively
few species and, though we cannot afford to dispense
with such standard sorts as white pine, common hemlock,
Austrian pine and blue spruce yet it should be bom< in
mind that there are many others equally well and, in
some respects, better adapted to ornamental planting
and which at the same time are equally hardy and as
easy to cultivate. A very conspicuous feature of the
National Flower Show held in Boston in March last
was the numerous collection of evergreens. Among the
more noteworthy being excellent displays from the
Messrs. Farquhar, the Eastern Nurseries, Messrs. Bob-
hink & Atkins and W. A. Manda. A very large and
representative coliiciinn can \\ all times be Been in the
Arboretum where intending planters will do well to
make a visit specially at this time of year.

Ahies Veitchii is a fast-growing species from Japan
with dark green foliage, ven silvery on the under side.
It is apparently capable of making a very handsome
lawn specimen. So fine a tree as Abies Nordmanniana
is an excellent companion to the foregoing. Bomewhat
similar hut Less silvery beneath. Pew conifers make a
more symmetrica] specimen or produce s liner effect
than this and the intense green of the foliage is em-
phasized when it is planted in juxtaposition to a blue
Bprui e.

One of thi mosl beautiful and interesting of all i
- is the Umbrella pine from Japan which is at
present quite rare in gardens, bul its singular beauty
and hardiness should ensure it being largely planted.
Sciadopitys verticdllata should be planted in a position
where the Boi] is moist during the growing season but
not at all waterlogged and a compost of loam and leaf
soil or peat will meet its requirements.

Two very handsome conifers with glaucou- foliage are
Cedrus atlantiea ?lauca and I'upressus arizonica. The
■• should be planted in a position where i1 is shel-
tered from cold wind- in spring by surrounding trees
which often cause more dan age than any frosts «
perience. It i- succeeding well in the Arboretum.

Several forms of the con n hemlock arc deserving

of extended cultivation especially good forms
Tsuga canadensis compacta, a dwarf -rowing form of
close habit and T. C. Sargenti a verj handsome pendu-
lous variety. Taxus cuspidata, the Japanese yew, is un-
doubtedly the best variety fo any purpose in the colder
parte of this country, f"r nrhatever weather we may
experience during the winti r or early spring it n
es brown or is in any way aff©

The .Retinosporas are among the most useful and

beautiful of smaller-growing conifers, well suited for the

embellishment of the most i Itured part of the pleas

good spikes of flowers to Baltimore.
We have had practicallj no rain for
nearlj two months iii Orange, the first
good rain coming the 24th, and anoth-
er good .me .m July 29th, but I Kept
the soil stirred twice a week and am
iiuu cutting as fine flowers as I ever
have. The judicious application of the
:, per cent, solution of formalin on
scabbj bulbs has resulted in giving
me the healthiest plants one could
wish from such stock.

The extreme hot weather forced
\ arieties into bloom a week earl

i. r than I ever had them before and a

few days before thej began to flower

the tip" buds scorched as though thej
held over a blaze ol lire. It was
surprising to see how the rain brought
them around again. It is generally
believed that cutting the spike when
the first two or three flowers open
will result in producing a stronger
bulb that will give you a better spike
of flowers the next year. I took this
for granted for several years but have
been doing a little experimenting for
the past three years and find that
nearly all bulbs that I have grown for
seed give me a spike of flowers equal
to those that 1 cut flowers from.

I am receiving some rare species of
gladiolus bulbs from the Transvaal.
These are sent me by a well-known
collector of botanical specimens,
George Thorncroft, Barberton, who
has discovered many rare plants in-
cluding gladiolus and a rare pink cj 1 -
tanthus named after him by the au-
thorities of Kew Botanical Gardens.
Mr. Thorncroft has also sent me some
bulbs of a new cyrtanthus with um-
bels of pure white flowers. A few
bulbs in a pot are beautiful as freesias.
They flower around Barberton in May

and June and multiply enor il

from offsets. They grow in South Af-
rica at an altitude of 5 feel but the

frosts there are not severe so I do not
yet know whether they are hardy
enough to plant out in the fall here.

Returning to the gladiolus, Mr.
Thorncroft tells me that there is a
new species which is very beautiful.
the fin. si one they have, that flowers
in December. It is a large flowering
variety: color, old gold, splashed with
Many of these species are inter-
esting but of little use in breeding for
den sorts. L. MERTON GAGE.

FLORISTS' CLUB OF PHILADEL-
PHIA.

Convention matters and a talk on
"Park Gardening" bj Xavier Schmitl
were the leading items on the program
at the regular monthly meeting of the
above Club held on August 1st. .Ino.

Westcott reported tor the transporta-
tion committee and alter considerable
discussion of various routes it was de-
cided to go by the B. and O., the Tues-
day morning, on the 10.17 train. All
members to be notified with return
postal so that if number of replies
warrant a special car can be pro-
cured. This shows the importance of
every one answering promptly. The
Care is the regular four-dollar excur-
sion. Each member buys his own
ticket in the usual way. No bother
at all with rebates and committees
and so on this year, as the distance
being short there would be no saving.
The hotel committee reported and
read offers from ten or twelve of the
leading Baltimore hotels, and this in-
formation is now on tap for all who
may want it. No headquarters have
been selected, it being thought wisest
to let each member pick out the hotel
that seemed to suit him best. Mr.
Schmitt's address was very well re-
ceived, and we hope to find room for
it in our columns at an early date.
The bowling team will consist of: —
Jno. H. Dodds, Wm. Robertson, Sam-
uel Batchelor. Robert Irwin, and D. T.
Connor.

NEW ORLEANS HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

Claude L. Ory. a prominent florist
of the upper section of the city, was
elected president of the New Orleans
Horticultural Society on July 21, after
one of the most exciting elections ev-
er held by that body, Mr. Ory defeat-
ing R. E. Simon, another well known
florist, by one vote, the final count
being 15 to 14.

The meeting was full of interest all
the way through, and quite a surprise
was sprung when Mr. Ory was placed
in nomination and elected. It had
been originally agreed to elect Mr.
Simon president by acclamation, but
when the nominations were made and
the vote called it was found that Mr.
Simon was not present.

J. E. Newsham and several of the
other members brought up the point
that a man could not be elected to the
presidency unless he was present, and
after a resolution had been passed
making this a law of the association,
Mr. Simon appeared on the scene. His
friends then urged him to enter, as
the nominations had been reopened.
Mr. Simon did, but Mr. Newsham
would not withdraw his candidate.
The voting was done on the Austral-
ian secret system.

The other officers elected, all by
acclamation, were: B. M. Wischer,
vice president; John Eblen, treasurer;
C. R. Panter, secretary: Richard
Eichling, corresponding and recording
secretary.

Mr. Eblen. the treasurer, was elect-
ed to his twenty-seventh term, while
Mr. Panter took up his tenth term as
secretary. The finance committee ap-
pointed consisted of Joseph Sleekier.
E. Baker and P. A. Chopin.

Amongst the Roses.
The trade growers were well ren-

National Rose Society, in the Botanic
Gardens, Regent's Park, on July 7th.
Competition was keen in most depart-
ments, with the result that a mag-
nificent collection of the "Queen of
flowers" adorned and sent. I the

spacious marquees. In the nursery-
men's classes, the championship was
won by Hush Dickson, of the Royal
Nurseries, Belfast. He received a gold
medal for Mrs. Sam Ross, a delicately
tinted 11. T., and Mrs. K. Diaper, a H.

Son, for Hugh Dickson, the best H. P.
variety. The decorative classes were
particularly well filled, some artisti-
cally arranged designs being shown.

The Sweet Pea Show.
Sweet pea enthusiasts have •
reason to be satisfied with the atten-
tion given this year to their favorite
flower. One of the daily papers has
gi\.n the sweet pea a "boom," and is
organizing this month a great show at
ii.. Crystal Palace for the thousand

pounds prize offered by the proprietors.
This has evoked an enormous number
entries from all parts of the United
Kingdom. The annual exhibition of
National Sweet Pea Society in
London on July nth and 12th was a
gratifying success; crowds of visitors
admired the high standard of excel-
M e prevailing in most departments.
W Atlee Burpee, of Philadelphia, re-
uewed acquaintance at the show with
many of his British confreres, and
cast a critical eyi the exhibits in

the .lass for the best American varie-
ties. The first prize in this section
fell to Sir Randolph Baker, who was
to the fore as a prize taker in other
classes. A distinguishing feature was
the success of the Irish growers, who
are evidently forging ahead as suc-
il growers of this popular flower,
as well as of the rose. There were no
striking novelties. The awards were
is follows: First — class certificates —

Michigan Cut Flower Exchange Gives
a River Party.
We all knew before hand that
anything arranged by the Michigan
Cut Flower Exchange is done right
in every detail and this time
they even went so far as to pro-
vide a good hot day so that we were
still more glad to inhale the cool

breezes of our beautiful river Ovei

The boat left the dock about 2
o'clock and it was not long before
young and old, employer and employe,
were engaged in dancing. A short
stop was made at Isle aux Peches then
the sail extended through Lake St.
Claire and turning about again wenl
through the beautiful Detroit river to
Lake Erie; spending over three hours
in the most delightful manner.

While local meetings have become
scarce owing to the hot weather, the

grounds of The Elm City Nursery Co.
in New Haven, Conn., July 26th, for
their annual summer outing. The day
was perfect in every respect. The re-
cent rains made verdure everywhere
fresh and attractive. A special feature
at the nursery which was a source of

universal interest among the mem-
bers is a collection of rare Jap-
anese plants which were person-
ally selected last winter in Japan.
After journeying through the nur-
sery's fields of well-cultivated stock
and comparing notes of mutual inter-
est, the members took autos to the
west-shore where they liberally
feasted. Later after a short business
session the members gave themselves
over generally to the attractions of the
shore. All agreed that this season's
outing proved to be a most enjoyable
one.

Coi ti.-ut Nurserymen's Associatl u Their s er Outing at The Elm City

Nurserj Co.'s Grounds, New Haven, Conn., Julj 26th

question of having a fall show was
discussed during this ride. It was re-
membered that the chief obstacle of
renting a ball was practically solvi d
through Mr. Danzer, who had secured
the 20th Century Building for I
days free of charge.

The nearness of the annual election
of course brought a little politics and
Michael Bloy was well indorsed. His
natural capacity for hard effi
work and fair dealing mad'
pear very desirable, so much more as
we expect to entertain the rose and
carnation societies.

Florists always know how to com-
bine pleasure with business and it was
not long before a plan became a fact
whereby our genius of chrj
mum growers, Elmer D. Smith of
Adrian, was secured to read a j
on chrysanthemums in Chicago I
October and a party of the local club
will be there as his court of honor.

Connecticut Nurserymen's Association.
The Connecticut Nurserymen's Asso-
ciation met again this year on the

ci pted the invitation of the Washing-
ton Florists' Club to attend Ladies'
night on the lawn of the home of Wm.
F. Gude. The lawn and summer house
was gaily decorated with electric
lights, Japanese lanterns and Ameri-
' m Hags and in the boxwood arbor,
concealed from the guests, was a ne-
gro mandolin and guitar club who gave
selections during the evening.

Mr. Gude for the club, welcomed the
guests and introduced Richard Vin-
cent. Jr., of White Marsh, who had
kindly consented to lecture on the
bulb culture Of Holland. This lec-
ture proved of great interest to all, il-
lustrated as it was with colored pic-
tures. He spoke on the growing, cut-
ting, planting and manuring of the
bulbs, showing how they were gath-
ered and stored for market and their
final disposal. Mr. Vincent's pictures
also showed views taken of displays
at various national exhibitions and
conservatories in foreign countries. A
hearty vote of thanks was tendered
him on completion.

The Chicago Florists' Club picnic
proved a success financially as well as
socially, notwithstanding the rain, and
at i he regular meeting of the club,
Aug. 3, the members heard a full re-
port from the committee.

Walter J. Pilcher, J. J. Beneke and
William C. Smith visited the Belleville
florists last Wednesday. On their ar-
rival they were taken by A. S. Hal-
Bted, president of the St. Clair Floral
Co. in his automobile, to the plants
Of E. W. Guy, A. G. Fehr. Gust G
sart, West End Floral Park and the
St. Clair Floral Co. The party re-
ported that all the places were in tip-
top shape for the fall and winter sea-
son. An automobile ride throughout
the city seeing all the sights wound
up at the Elks Club for a late dinner
at the mercy of Mr. lialsted and Mr.
Smith, who were the only elks in the
party.

SOME NEW THINGS.

a Pap lie Hill before Che (HI

nols State Florists1 Association

As the Rose has "right of way" by
general consent I will begin by con-
sidering a few new varieties both Eu-
ropean and American which have re-
cently come under my notice.

Juliet (Win. Paul & Son i is unques-
tionably the finest and most distinct
of all new roses — It is a garden variety
of strong growth, making heavy up-
right canes and has the good quality
of flowering throughout the season.
The color is a marvel of glistening
yellow, crimson and pink. This va-
riety should make not only a Bne rose
for the garden, but a beautiful market
pot plant. It has a strong infusi.
Austrian copper or Persian somewhere
lineage.

Edward Mawley (McGredy). This
magnificent rose was pronounced by
all who saw it at the National Rose
Show at Regent's Park as being the
finest of all the Hybrid Teas.
It is a glowing velvety crimson of
shapely form, and good texture. If
this variety will force it will be a fine
addition to our winter-flowering sorts.
No rose of recent years has had such
a warm reception as was accorded

i bj the English puhlii
named for Mr. Edward Mawley, the
eminent secretary of the National So-
ciety, it is worthy of trial under glass.

Rayon d'Or (Pernet) is one of the
most wonderful advances in color
among the recently introduced roses
and as seen growing by the thousands
at Lyons, France, in the raiser's gar-

i distinct Pernettiana varti
in habit, free flowi i Ing, with a
ancj in i's yellow ground

it is frequently marbled and flaked
i i tly proud

oduction of his. li, lmv.
.lining the Hybrid Austrian
d It remains to be seen
• her or not it will hold its foliage
in our climate

lutj de Lyon (Pernet) was the
Paris gold medal last
and i notably strong growing hy-
brid. This and Juliet should, on ac-
..iiint oi \traordinary vigor,

make good garden varieties. The color
. i al red, shading to yellow; a very
strong heavy grower with ample foli-
age and a flower large, full and globu-
lar; a magnificent bedder.

Jonkeer I. L. Mock hails from Hol-
land and Is .me of the strongest in the
laiuih ; it outgrows every other va-
riety on our benches, and is constantly
sending up heavy bottom breaks, each
topped with a glorious flower in two
tones of color, fiery red within, the
nut side of petals silvery', rosy white.
Of fine rounding form: one of the larg-
est in size; a grand rose. Awarded
eight prizes in Europe.

Miss Alie. do Rothschild. This is
one of the Alexander Dickson varie-
ties and as viewed in the nurseries at
New iiiwnards looked like a veritable
ilwait Marecbal Neil. This should
make a tine bedding or garden rose in
this particular line of color, nothing
being in greater demand than a deep
yellow rose of fine rounded form for
the border.

Mrs. Aaron Ward is a rose that
compels admiration; first of all it is a
vers free grower, producing very
handsome glossy foliage in great pro-
fusion, which it holds grandly when
bedded out, it is one of the freest va-
rieties thai we know, and throws good
long canes readily; Admiral Ward, the
■st amateur rose-grower in the
country, names it as one of the six
best bedders in our trying American
climate; In the greenhouse it is a mar-
vel of beauty, for beside having great
strength of constitution, beauty and
profusion of foliage, it forces readily,
is extremely free, can be cut very
tor shipment, and opens beauti-
fully; the color is a deep orange yel-
low seen in no other rose and it de-
velopa into a large rosette-shaped

. glow ing orange in the ( i
shading to a medium yellow on the
edges; you all know of its popularity
in the Bast; it will soon be found In
ev.ry forcing establishment.

Another aspirant for favor in the
yellow class is Robert Scott & Sons'
i>. which is being accorded a
very nice reception by the trade; it i-
notable for its freedom as a forcing
ty, and for its good color. Yellow
will soon become as popular among
as among chrysanthemums,
Down in handsome
form and size we can all remember
day when Marechal Nell and,
Perle des Jardins, were the
popular of cut roses, and a din-
ner was lacking in elegance without
Sunrise, Sunset and Joseph
H.il would still be fine property for
the cut-flower man if only they could
be grown at a profit.

The Double Killarneysare awaken-
ing interest and will be found most

useful for summer cutting owing to
the additional petalage.

Here is one of the very curious in-
cidents regarding the sporting of roses
lor other plants). These sports very
often appear simultaneously with dif-
ferent growers, as if a given space of
time allowed the variation to work
to completion. You will remember
that tin- white form of Killarney ap-
peared at several places about the
same time; we found it on several of
our plants the same year that it origi-
nated farther East, though none of
our sports proved pure white.

Two years ago Richmond sported
pink; not a very bright shade, but in-
teresting, so we tried out a dozen
plants of it; one of these pink Rich-
mond* sported double, giving just
twice as many petals as the average
Richmond. Early this year, this dou-
ble pink Richmond reverted bai
the pure crimson scarlet, but retained
the fullness of petals, so that we now
have a finely doubled Richmond which
held its form without dropping for full
two weeks, and we hope to be able to
fix this sport, believing that it will be
valuable.

Orleans Rose. Here is what the
market grower has been looking for —
a dwarf Polyantha that promises to
make an ideal pot rose — it is Hi , ■
showiest and prettiest of the pink
by" roses; a dainty little variety
of beautifully rounded habitr huge bou-
quet of brilliant bloom, deep cerise
with showy center of pure white, flor-
ets not crowded, but of beautiful ar-
rangement. The color is irresistible;
the plant grows like a weed, and the
flowers are nearly "immortelle" in
their lasting quality. We believe that
they will outlast almost any other

ruse in existence, with their stiff, pa-
per-like texture.

This pretty little variety took Eu-
rope by storm, and will make a sen-
sation as soon as shown in this coun-
try; I shall be greatly surprised if its
introduction does not mark a new era
in the pot culture of roses, and as if
especially intended for a companion,
is the inexpressibly lovely little Zelia
Bourgeois, a pure white early flower-
ing "Baby" that is as dense in its
mass of snow color as a cherry tree
in bloom, and of the utmost symmetry
in habit.

Excelsa. A YVichuraiana with the
same color as the popular Crimson
Rambler. This is a veritable crimson
or red-flowering Dorothy Perkins, and
Mr. Walsh is entitled to great credit
for having raised this charming nov-
elty; one of its chief beauties is its
glossy persistent foliage, combined
with its high color.

Win. Paul's Althea, Guillot's Mar-
quise de Ganay, Pernet's St. Chaure,
Lowe and Shawyer's Lady Hillingdon,
Prince d Areiiberg (Soupert and Not-
ting), and Souv. de Gustave Prat are
all decidedly out of the ordinary, with
several others quite as good; it is a
notable year for new roses. I realize
that there are other aspirants for pop-
ular favor both at home and abroad,
but I am speaking only of those with
which I have had some personal ex-
perience.

1 purposely refrain from mentioning
our seedling, Rose Queen, which we
are now disseminating, and also Sun-
burst, the French variety, which goes
out next year, not because 1 could not
say a great deal about them if I were
to begin, for a man's seedling roses,
and even his adopted novelties, be-

come very dear to his heart.

Following the Rose comes the Car-
nation. After the recent symposium
in the trade papers, little is left to
say, for they were sifted as the fine
dust of the balance; among very re-
cent novelties Pink Delight and Mrs.
Ward seem absolutely sure of perma-
nent place, Scarlet Glow wherever it
can be grown with a strong stem, and
Dorothy Gordon as a substitute for
Rose Pink. It is not only a duty but
a privilege to test the few offerings
of the present year, as they have
promise of outranking in their several
colors, and we shall probably soon
need substitutes to take the place of
the four stan *« which are now so
hard worked in .-very carnation es-
tablishment.

Wodenethe, is one of these aspirants
for place, which will be sent out next
year; it is probably the most perfect
white carnation in existence and those
who saw it in 1910 at Philadelphia and
at the National Rose Show, will be
ready to greet it with open arms
w hi n disseminated.

In Chrysanthemums we can hardly
wait for autumn to roll around to see
the Wells-Pockett and other accepted
novelties display their splendors; it is
one of the keenest pleasures of the
floral year, and the long wait only
whets the appetite.

Of last year's novelties which we
are impatient to see again, are the
magnificent Mrs. David Syme, R. F.
Felton, Wells' Late Pink and Glacier.
Strongly entrenched already in favor
with the trade as money making
"commercials" are Chadwick Im-
il, lovely in its purity of color;
Chas. Razer, a grand white of perfect
approved form for shipping; Canford

given us a new white gladiolus, Eu-
vhi.h in all probability will rank
with America in necessary' qualifica-
tions for ih.' \m.iican trad.', this is

Then there is the comparatively

pact and clean, this variety will give
ih. heliotrope a new place as a gar-

ements. Bouquet Rose, Henri

Re e -these are a few of the ten or
a dozen distinct improvements in this
noted family of plants.

A striking and beautiful novelty
seen at Bruges, I'.elgium. was the new
Marguerite, Mrs. F. Sander; it looked
much like a chaste and beautiful ane-
iiii! . -Ilow.red chrysanthemum; it is a
glistening, pure white Bower pro-
duced on long stems. I can Imaj
no more useful plant either for the
production of white flowers or as a
poi plant. If it does as well in
America as it was growing and flower-
ing at Bruges it will certainly prove a
most valuable commercial plant.

This is far from a complete list
of novelty offerings for the year, but
enough to engage the time ami at-
tention of the progressive florist for
the present.

CONSERVATION.

The Situation.

President I S Harrlnon B tore ':.• Se
braskn Hon Icultnrnl s... I.

When the Creator turned this great
land over to us it was a region of sur-
passing beauty. The whole country
was landscaped on a most magnificent
scale and with a far reaching fore-
thought for the future. It was tin
patient work of ages to spread a thin
layer of soil over the rocks and on the
hills and mountain sides, and then
fasten it there with trees, shrubs and
grasses, Mighty rivers flowed to the
Si B fed by thousands of streams. These
streams were carefully protected, for-
ests, bushes and rank vegetation pre-
vented the washing of the soil, while
at the sources of all these rivulets
there was the most careful planning to
retain the waters. Dead leaves, de-
caying trees, mosses and the accumu-

lated deposits of the ages, all were like
vast sponges to retain the waters so
the streams would have an even flow.
Mighty forests grew and decayed, and
so as the centuries passed the land
grew tit her and richer.

How artistically all was arranged.
There were often delightful parks in
the forests, and when the woods edged
upon the prairies there were tall trees
in the background, shrubs to the front,
then the flower sprinkled carpet of
green. Go into the forests, the great
temples of God. What massive col-
umns upheld the dark green canopy.
Look where you would in woodland,
plain and mountain, the ages of the
past had made preparations for the
ages to come.

Graft and Greed.
Then came the two brothers, graft
and greed. With no thought of care
for the future. With no appreciation
whatever of the plans of the Creator.
Thej were ready to kill the finest
horse if they could only get his hide.
They would burn down a mansion if
ih. could only get the nails. A care-
less government which today from its
own natural resources could have had
income enough for current expenses,
allowed billions to be taken and de-
stroyed. One of the most beautiful
sijjlns on earth is a splendid forest.
One of the saddest spectacles is to see
that same forest the prey of the ax
and fire— those blackened stumps like
thi -rave-stones of departed grandeur.
If the lumbermen had planned for the
most speedy and utter ruin he could
not have prepared a more complete
system. He took only half of the tree
and left the rest to dry for the great
box. The fires came. All that
dead rubbish was ready for them. Not
onl; was the dead brush burned, but
.ge-long deposit of dead leaves,
rott.n logs and rich mold planned to
feed the soil for the coming eons; all
royed and a garden of Eden
became a blackened wilderness. How
the ruin has spread! Within the mem-
ory of man the mighty forests of In-
diana and Ohio were chopped down
and burned. If left till today they
would be worth more than all the
crops grown there since their destruc-

tion. Take Arizona for instance. The
forests have been cut from the moun-
tains, the rubbish inviting the fire;
and the fires never miss an -invitation.
Greed drove in great flock and herds
of sheep and cattle. They have de-
stroyed the herbage which fastened the
thin layer of earth to the rocks. Til
floods carat and ripped the earth from
the mountain sides and whirled ava-
lanches of mud into the fertile valleys,
often plowing out great gullies 20 and
30 feet deep through the rich soil and
all hurried on to fill the river beds.
Now when the floods come there is
nothing to detain them and the people
of Texas must suffer from the vandal-
ism of Arizona, just as the people of
our southern states must loose mil-
lions from the rapaciousness of north-
ern lumbermen who for the dollar for
today would mortgage the whole fu-
ture of those who must suffer from
their greed.

Gn into Colorado and vandalism is
there. The mountains are robbed of
their beauty. The upland pa
over-fed and you have desolation in-
stead of beauty. A pioneer in the Rock-
ies said. "I think we early setth is
should have great credit in coming in
here and starting things." I replied.
"If you never had seen this country
and had left it today as God made it.
it would be worth five times as much
as it is now."

Robbing the Land.

There are no richer lands on earth
than the great prairies of the West and

here in God's richest garden there have
been two sources of disaster. The first
is cropping lands without remunera-
tion, raising wheat year after year
with no manure, till some of the rich-

trms of .Minnesota are now s
d they will hardly raise chicken
tem of waste applies to
rich level lands. There is a. double
system applied to hillside lands — rob-
bing the soil and allowing it to wash.
Stand by any of our streams after a

■ rain and you will sec the very
cream of our fields going to the Gulf
of Mexico. It is waste, waste, every-
where. Most feeders will have their
feed lots perched on some steep hill-
side if they can find such a place, so
that the richest fertilizer the world
produces can be utterly swept away
without any trouble on their part, and
thej ki ep on growing 25 bushels of
corn to the acre, when by saving the
manure and plowing their land deep
they might have 100 bushels. Our coal
lands with their marvelous deposits
have been well nigh given away. I
have seen veins of coal 11 feet deep
which the wise U. S. Government sold
for $10.00 per acre. Streams with wat-
erfalls that were gold mines have been
parted with for a song.

The Man of the Hour.

What wonder in the midst of all this
ruin that "Great Heart" should arise.
He looks on the past and then on the
present, and then into the future, and
he asks himself what will become of
this nation 200 years from now. On

the ordering of Providence, when a
tremendous crisis comes there is al-
ways a man to meet it. This time it
was Gifford Pinchot, by education one
uf the best foresters the world has pro-
duced. A man of means he is ready to
lice thousands for the future. He
might have made judicious invest-
ments in the great West, he knew so
well, so he could have become a bil-
lionaire. He could have taken his
chances in an unguarded moment and
captured forests, water powers and
coal lands. No man since the days of
Robert Morris, who furnished the sin-
ews of war for Washington and then
died in a debtor's prison, has done
more or made greater sacrifices than
Mr. I'inchot. Though for the present
he has lost his position he is yet a
king, independent of throne or crown.
Few men have shown such a fearless
persistence in the face of the most de-
termined opposition. There were
thousands of men who had pet plans
for the future. They wished to put
their hands on the nation's wealth.
Cattle men and sheep men, who for
years had been allowed to ruin young
forests and destroy pastures by over-
feeding; these rose in arms and what

^ Here have been over one
lui Ired varities and grades of
rice grown in Japan. '1 he dif-
ference in quality is very ^reat,
but how much does your
Grocer know about rice? Now
it a salesman came to you to
sell Mining Stock you would
likely, want to know something
it the mine; where it was;
mui h per ton the raw ma-
terial was worth; the cost of
producing it at the market
price, etc. But if a bulb sales-
man offered you Japan bulbs
you would never think to ask
him from what part of Japan
they came from, how the fields
look, or anything about them.
Funny, isn't it? Well the fact
is, not one out of ten know
anything about it. With them
"pigs is pigs" and "bulbs is
bulbs" and the lower the sell-
ing price the better for them.
However, there is a difference
in lily bulbs and that difference
has cost many a' grower more
than he realizes or cares to ad-
mit— and all is due to his
anxiety to save a penny the
wrong way. The best Gigan-
teum produced today are la-
belled Horseshoe Brand. They
are incidentally about the best
in lily bulbs any man could
buy. Don't believe what we
say about them' because we
know about them and you
don't — so try them — that's the
way to tell — and compare your
profits. Write for prices.

Seed Trade

a young Beedsman now visiting the
seed-growing establishments of
i lontinental Europe for the first Unn
writing of his experiences, Baj "We
qoI yet got all the good things
in horticulture in the United State
True! but we are getting them, and
we are getting them more and more
rapidly with each succeeding year.

I'ordhook is an example of the in
traduction of the European system of
trials ol \ arid ies of dowers ami vege

tables. Our leading Beedsmen and
seed growers now make comprehen-
Bive trials of the principal kinds of
seeds they sell or grow.

The I'ordhook trials this season
comprise, firstly, sweet peas, of which
there is a mosl complete assortment,
not only of the hundreds of varieties
now cultivated, but of several grow-
ers' stocks of each variety, thus dem-
onstrating their quality and purity of
each; secondly, cabbages, savoys,
Brussels sprouts, cauliflowers, broc-
colis, kales, kohl rabis and other bras-
sieas in great variety, and from many
sources. The lessons learned are well
worth the pains taken, not only to
the seedsmen and growers, but to
their patrons; the selection and list-
ing of the most desirable sorts and
the selections of the best strains of
these are of inestimable value. For
instance, we note that the old pointed
Jersey Wakefield cabbage is still un-
excelled for earliness, but many of
the stocks of it have become so de-
generate that only by growing those
"t i he different producers side by side
may the seedsman be reasonably sure
of supplying his customers with seed
of high grade. The trial also brings
to view new varieties of excellence
like the Danish Early Market, which
in point of earliness is a close second
to the Jersey Wakefield, somewhat
larger and quite ball-shaped; thirdly,
lettuces occupy a large section of
these trial grounds. The freak sorts

are omitted, but no really good form
in any of the numerous types of let-
tuces is absent.

The Fordhook trials include many
kinds of vegetables and flowers in ad-
dition to those already mentioned.
Such work is most encouraging horti-
culturally, for it insures the dissemi-
nation of improved sorts and the dis-
carding of inferior ones.

Notes.
Young celery plants are almost im-
possible to be obtained in New York.
What few stocks are available bring
from $7.00 to $7.50 a thousand and
even at these extraordinary figures
orders cannot be filled.

Writing July 28th from Ogden, Utah,
Howard M. Earl reports that he had
not yet inspected the crops in that
locality — having just arrived there af-
ter inspecting crops in New York State
and Michigan. In the latter states,
peas promise a very poor crop again
this year.

oagen Market Cabbage.

Effects of the drought on the grain
and cereal markets of the Central
West were shown yesterday in the
first transaction in Timothy seed
shipped to St. Louis from Oreston, la.
There were five bags in the shipment,
consigned to the Eaton-McClelland
Commission Company. It was sold on
the floor of the Merchants' Exchange
to the A. W. Schisler Grain Company
of 810 North Fourth street, at $15.33
per 100 pounds. Last year at this
time the ruling price for Timothy seed
was $3.50 to $4 for 100 pounds. The
price yesterday is the highest on rec-
ord at the St. Louis market. — St.

Flower Market Reports.

The business of the cur-
BOSTON rent week seems to have
been generally satisfac-
tory. Out-of-town trade has been dis-
posed to take about all the stuff really
lii tor shipment. The two new roses —
Radiance and Prince tie Bulgaria — (the
latter misnamed Mrs. Taft by some
people) are making an excellent rec-
ord in this market. There is nothing
here or elsewhere, however, in the
rose line to equal the superb Carnots
seen every day at Welch Bros., who
have a curner on this stock. These
Bowers are worth traveling a lung dis-
tance to see. Lilium speciosum is a
good property just now, bringing all
the way from $1.50 to J4.00 per 100.
The best lily of the valley ever seen in
this market or elsewhere is here now
and worth more than the price at'
which it can be sold.

Flowers were not plen-
BUFFALO tiful the past week
though there was about
enough of everything to go around.
Hoses were in good demand, also
gladioli, asters, lilies and other ma-
terial and the market was cleaned up
daily. Asters are coming on a little
better although mostly with short-
stems and small blooms. Only a few
choice blooms are seen. A good rain
is badly needed for the later crops.

The summer trade hard-
CHICAGO ly held up to the aver-
age of the month dur-
ing the closing week in July. There
was no special reason for it other
than that the demand, which has
been fully up to any other July and
quite possibly in excess of it. re-
laxed a little. Shipping orders
showed less difference than local
trade. All kinds of stock have been
benefited by the low temperature of
tie last half of the month and will
be a help with August, which prom-
ises warmer weather again. The new
month starts in with a good supply of
early asters, but the quality is not up
to former years and the stems are, in
the main, short. A very small pro-
portion are cut with twenty-four-inch
stems, and by far the greater portion
with one-half that length. Summer
roses can now he said to be up to the
average in quality and American
Beauties are daily being cut with
longer stems while the flower itself
is very good. Gladioli are coming in
in quantity and the best varieties sell
well. Fancy ferns now bring $1.50
per 1000.

Local market conditions
DETROIT are unchanged nd re-
tailers are many times
put to their wits end to know what to
supply. Carnations and sweel eas, as
many other summer flowers, are com-
pletely played out. Asters an oming
a little better, but in small quantity
with no large amounts in sighl Robt.
Klagge is beginning to send in large
numbers of roses among tie i very
good La Detroit. Fred Breili yer is
shipping very good Beauti. The

carnation situation is unchai fed, in
fact it is getting too late nov tor oc-
casional rains to improve tie plants.
On the other hand the outl ok for
chrysanthemums is very good

Since we hav had a

ST. LOUIS few light ra is and

cool nights te cut

stock is looking much bett' ban it

ASTERS

The early and mid-season
varieties are now in quantity,
good sized flowers with long
stems, splendid quality; pinks,
purples and whites. Orders
of any size can be taken care
of on short notice. Ship-
ments reach us daily about
8 a. m. This has been a try-
ing season for Asters. Our
growers have been particu-
larly fortunate, and our quali-
ties are, therefore, above the average. The best values
going! We take no credit for this. It is Fate.

$1.00 to $2.00 per hundred.
Extra choice $3.00 per hundred.

Gladioli are now becoming a glut

Flower Market Reports

(ConttHHCti from ptl£f /">

The noticeable fea-
NEW YORK tures of the flower

market this week are
the great increase in quantity and ad-
vance in quality of gladioli and asters.
The latter are very fine from some
growers and bring prices accordingly.
In the gladiolus line the most inter-
esting novelty is Kunderd's Glory, ot
which fine stock is being sent to J. K.
Allen by Rowehl & Granz. The flow-
ers are creamy in color, flushed with
crimson and gold in the throat and
the spikes are very heavy. The trade
has taken well to this new comer.
There is plenty of lily of the valley in
market in all grades, but at present
it lags. Lilies are also abundant and
have receded from the high prices
prevalent for a short period. Carna-
tions are scarcely to be found. Roses
are still small and find little demand.
Beauties are fairly good but prices
favor the buyer. In orchids very little
good material is seen. Cattleya gigas
is about finished up and good cattle-
yas will be scarce until about the first
of September when the labiatas will
begin to bloom. The fashionable re-
tail quarters are deserted.

The consensus of
PHILADELPHIA opinion seems to
be that business
was above the average last week. The
most noticeable feature was the short-
age of good stock. A great deal of the
material arriving is very, very poor.
This is especially the case with roses
and carnations. The hot weather of
the past three months has been ex-
ceedingly hard on these crops and
they are now showing the effects of
it more than ever. The most satisfac-
tory item at present is the aster. As-
ters are improving rapidly and may
be said to be the standby at present —
where good stock is wanted in quan-
tity. Gladioli are also a leading fea-
ture among outside stocks, although
they are showing the effects of the
weather considerably. Both these and
a si, rs are best where they are grown
under an Irrigation system. Tiiis
method of watering is a paj g invest'
ment in a dry summer like t1 e present
and probably also in even th< ordinary
season for this latitude. T Beauty
market is in healthy conditi a, What
few are coming in bring ry good
prices. Marylands are fairlj good and
are also plentiful. So are llarneys.
Nothing good can be said if carna-
tions. They are small, lack lbstance,
and keep very poorly. Th> is quite
a variety of outdoor subjei arriving
— sabbatias, rudbeckias, p> nias and
many others.

could be closed.

Miss Frances L. Holmes, eighteen
years of age, daughter of Eber Holmes

has just won a scholarship at Rad-
cliffe College. She led her class ir
German all the past year and got

been appointed director of agriculture
of the Philippine Islands, to succeed
George Nesom, who recently resigned.
He will enter upon his new duties
early in October, with headquarters
in Manilla.

Mr. Taylor's appointment is expect-
ed 10 mark the beginning of the ap-
plication of scientific methods in land
culture in the development of the
Philippines.

Mr. Taylor was chief of the depart-
ment of agriculture and horticulture
at the St. Louis world's fair, the Pan-
American exposition at Buffalo and
the trans-Mississippi exposition at
Omaha.

Visiting New York: S. S. Skidel-
sky, of Skidelsky & Irwin, Philadel-
phia, Pa.; F. H. Kramer, Washington,
D. C.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

Paul Berkowitz and family of Phila-
delphia, are spending their vacation
at Atlantic City.

Harry Bayersdorfer returned from
his annual European trip, on the
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, Saturday,
July 29, looking the picture of robust
health.

Maurice Fuld has just .'-turned from
a sojourn at Atlantic City. He re-
ports this Philadelphia adjunct as be-
coming a favorite spot of lato for our
New York friends. Frank Traendly,
W. A. Manda, and many others were
seen disporting themselves on the
beach clad in bathing suits. ,

Samuel S. Pennock has been enjoy-
ing himself at the expense of his call-
1 ecently with a bouquet of red
berries sent him by some Boston wag.
Some would claim they were Bar-
berry, some one thing, some another — ■
and others grve it up. Then the glee-
ful Samuel would break one open and
show they were Boston beans dyed
Hid stuck on a wire. The dog
6 are surely here when our florists
have time for such foolishness.

Visitors: Mr. and Mrs. William
Walker, Louisville, Ky.; Mr. Deans, of
the Hollingsworth Floral Co., Atlanta,
Ga.; W. J. Stewart, Boston, Mass.

CONSERVATION.
i
so the focused rays next day would
light on dry leaves and other com-
bustibles. The sub does its work and
i ho Innocent cowboy proves an alibi,
for he is fifty miles away. 1 met a
range rider in the Rockies and bad a
long talk with him. lie would say to
stock owners. "You can put only so
many head on this range and you must
pay for it." "Nol much, we have had
this range and we are going to have
it." He would tell them, "I represent
the U. S. government. You cannot af-
ford to have a war with 90,0011,000
people." Often his life was threatened.
All manner of trumped up charges
were sent on to Washington and some-
times he had to face fire both front
and rear. But those heroic men, like
the mounted police of Canada, have
convinced the ranchmen there is a law
in the land and it must be obeyed.

In a terrible time like this, when
most of our northwestern forests
are tinder boxes, what could be done
without our range riders and their sys-
tem of fighting fires? Sometimes they
are at it for 48 hours without let up.
One man found two of them lying on
the ground in the deep sleep of utter
exhaustion. They lay as they fell and
the ants were running over them. Per-
haps these men took a little relaxation
and then the cry goes up, "See those
lazy fellows and the waste in the for-
est service." No figuring, you under-
stand, of the waste of the fires and
the ax. All manner of abuse was
heaped on the chief forester, but there
was a vision before him, one of ruin
and desolation and he wrote, talked
and pleaded till the tide turned and a
great victory was won. A crisis came
and issues involving hundreds of mil-
lions. The forester broke a piece of
red tape and he must go. No matter
that he stands for a great principle. No
matter that he has given his means
and his life to a great cause. But,
thank God, the nation is fully aroused
and our forestry system is established.
The People Aroused.
You can readily see the clashing of
interests. Leading men in our Pacific
Coast cities want the bars thrown
down. The future may care for itself.
They want the coal dug and the water
powers to be exploited, and flocks and
herds to have free range. It all makes
business and we want business now.
There never yet was a national park
laid out or a forest reserve made, but
what there was a tremendous protest.
When the government made a reserve
near Cass Lake, Minn, a howl long and
deep went up. When we tried to have
a park in the Wet Mountain valley
and could have gotten a bill through
Congress for one of the sublimest re-
sorts, Colorado congressmen sat down
on it. But slowly and surely the peo-
ple are going to rule. This country is
going to be saved. Not only conserved,
but made more beautiful and attrac-
tive.

nl moss and stones at the rear. In the
pond are the usual goldfish and turtles
while ou the bank is the "county jail"
with "Jeff" looking out of the window
and ".Mutt" standing on the bridge
viewing the scenery. This display
causes a large number of the passers-
by to slop in front of the window and
should prove to be a good business-
gel ter.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
new undertaking of the Gude Bros.,
Co., on the old American Rose Com-
pany plant. One house, 50 by 450, is
completed and planted with Radiance,
.Mrs. Taft and white and pink Killar-
ney roses. Another house 125 by 250
is planted to asparagus plumosus.
Three more houses are now under con-
struction and these, when completed,
will be planted to American BeauCy
roses, sweet peas, and carnations. The
buildings are admirably situated on
rising ground with a southeastern ex-
posure. The Gude Bros. Co., expect
to have about 100,000 square feet oi
glass on this new plant by October 15.

A Greenhouse Suggestion

If a fifty foot house divided into two compartments will answer your
purposes for the present, how about this one? Yes it is our iron frame
construction and you can just as well have it with curved eaves if you want
it. In fact, we believe the curved eave house, the way we build it, has
advantages over this one, and that it is superior to other curved eave con-
structions. There's no lighter house built, that's sure, and for endurance —
well just drop us a line and let us send you a catalog and explain exactly
how our curved eave house is built, and then you won't question its
endurance for a minute.

Then besides, you'll like our pleasant way of doing business.

LILtUM HARRISM

The Bermuda Easter l_ily)

l_E"T US supply your >Asart-fcs i r» l_i I ies this season

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 350 to the case, $15.00 per case: full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs. 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-in. pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 8-in. plants $1.00 to 1.50 each

Nephrolepis Eleeantissima, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 10-in. plants 2.50 each

RARE LILIES

FROM CHINA

Hardy, Beautiful, Fragrant. The Finest Novelties Extant

Lilium myriophyllum

AWARDED SILVER MEDAL BY MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. JULY 15. 1911.

Ul II IM MVDinSUVI I I IRA Mr. E. II. Wilson, the famous plant collector, collected
L.IVPITI l»ll RIUI n I LL.UIT9 i f,,r us ti,e bulbs now offered, in North-western
China. He considers tbls the finest of all lilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing. It has
been predicted that this will become the Easter Lily of tlie future, and being so hardy, may be grown at
home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink and with a beautiful shade of canary yellow at
the centre, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one of the
jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor of most lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in July.
Orders looked now for October delivery. Bulbs each, $1.30: dozen, $13. Oil.

The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson.
This is one of Hie strongest growing lilies —
frequently attaining a height of six to eight feet. The flowers vary In number from live to ten on a
stalk, and In size and shape resembling I, ilium Ilarrisii, greenish white shaded purple on the outside,
and of the purest white within, with a tint of citron In the centre. The flowers have a pleasing

consider it the finest of all tubular-flowered lilies. It flowers somewhat later than Lilium myriophyllum.
and being of larger growth, has a distinct place.

A Lawn Problem

h i- often .i problem as to how to furnish grass
under trei to have it a e in summer, and

i. in. d i bat it i- out of the question
unless plenty of o ire is available. We have come
H i hat there is no drier spot than under
a handsome tree on the lawn, the roots of which form
bat i- pei Ei ct in that it breaks up
the soil formation, as well as absorbs moisture by its
thou-. growing rootlets. It was put forth at one

n with some degree of authority that trees poisoned

the soil ami tin condition of lawn grass under the same
was used as evidence, but we found that in the effort last

u r to nourish lawn trees by the application of a

i dressing of ground bone, there are no traces of
weakness but on the contrary thi gra - is wonderfully
\ igorous.

It may be thai some soils do not need hone for we

hear of j ■ results from its use at timi -. but where it

.i ;rees with the chemical composition there is no better
way to rejuvenate. Where much water is used the roots
of i he grass are sometimes washed bare and weakness
follows, a sure forerunner of weeds, especially where
thi' natural manures are used as a rejuvenator. Where
plenty of soil from the greenhouse benches is at hand
■ n- hi this time, it is well to mix plenty
of bone with it and spread thinly over the lawns adding
a sprinkling of grass seed at the same time. We do not
screen it first, but -weep the lawns with a broom to
i in and in this way all small stones are gathered
up with other undesirable particles, and it is a revela-
tion how little distances a load of soil will go when ap-
m tin- way.
Chemical fertilizers are good, but it always seems
best to mis them with soil before spreading or the ap-
pearance of the lawn will be streaky after it begins to
ing to the difficulty of sowing evenly, and it
ipplied while the grass is damp as there
is danger of injury if the fertilizer is easily soluble.
Another source from wdience good material can be ob-
i lawns is the burnt rubbish heap. When
enough has accumulated it should be screened because
tngi r of nails, and if the sod needs leveling in
places, roll the turf back far enough to take out the
depression, fill up with burnt material, relay the sod and
ight edge after tamping or rolling.
This is best done in the fall months as earlj as possible
i rains are frequent.
There has been much discussion about the use of
white clover in lawn seeding, but there i- no question
that it makes the best lawn though some object to it on
tennis con -e it makes them slippery at times,

This is Boetii i i . - seventh an-

it "in bound in "Oriole" colors in
compliment to the hospitable cit) whose people are
ready to extend a prim elj welcome to the thousand visit-
ing hortii ultural craftsmen who are about to congregate
within her gates. Baltimore, when she does anyth
does i1 well, with an open-hearted liberality and sincer-
ity of purpose nowhere excelled. To the boys who have

event, and to the convention visitors Eorticultuee
here extends cordial congratulations and the earnest
hope thai this Baltimore meeting may bee memor-
able i"i wisi deliberation and sagacious anion and thai
cord may till a proud chapter in the historj of
it nli ural progress in America.

The proposed ( onsl n utional amend-
in. in to be voted on at Baltimore,
making $50.00 i he amount required
for a life membership in the Society
of American Florist-, should, we believe, be adopted.
With the large and rapidly-growing sum now accumul-
ated in the treasury, in the use of which each new mem-
ber becomes an equal participant, it is evident that a
life member coming in now at $50.00 will get as much,
if not more, Eor his money, than one who joined some
years ago a not mentioning the enhanced pres-

ide which comes from membership in an organization
occupying so influential a position as this prosperous
National Society has now attained. The original life
membership cost was purposely set at a low figure, we
recall, with the intent of providing an inducement to
the establishment of a permanent reserve fund — some-
thing which was seen to be necessary to the Society's
stability and permanency. Thai object having been ac-
complished it now seems proper to consider what amount
i- Eair in comparison with the assessment for annual
membership which is $5.00 for first year and $3.00 an-
nually thereafter, and in this light also the proposed ad-
vana seems reasonable and fully justified. Members
o are interested in this question should hear in mind
that a two-thirds vote, not a nitre majority, is required
to carry an amendment to the By-laws,

CUCUM BEES

Plants started now and until the first of September
should be in crop by early November and in full bear-
ing by Tic ng. The soil for cucumbers should be
a good turfy loam, but not too finely broken up, for
when it i- rougher it insures the freer passage of water
better. A 3 to three parts soil,
use one part of some well eed manure. When
d benches are used (and I think these are the best
where the pipes run a< ■ rneath, thereby giving them
bottom heat which ial to their growth), make
hills by placing four or five -hovelsful of soil four feet
apart, which is a bel in than to fill the benches
full up. Some little time after planting the young
plants will utilize the.-, heaps of soil. .1 ,,n as

you see the roots working their waj outside of

the hills, more soil should be added. The compost that

HORTICULTURE

BALTIMORE

The Metropolis of the South

From Robert Manning's Sketch of the History of
Horticulture in the United States we learn that "in
1823 Samuel and John Feast began cultivating trees,
plant? and vegetables in Baltimore, on the Frederick
road, and were the first to offer plants for sale in the
public markets of Baltimore."

In Downing's Horticulturist, Vol. 1, No. 1, July,
1846, we find the following note in connection with
the account of the proceedings of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society on February 14, 1846:

"To Samuel Feast, Esq., of Baltimore, they have
given the Society's Large Gold Medal as a special premi-
um for that beautiful seedling Rose originated by him,
the Queen of the Prairies, which they consider the type
of a new class of Roses, and without a rival in this
climate for pillars, arbors, etc." Another beautiful and
popular rose by the same raiser
was the Baltimore Belle.

Ever since those early pioneers
laid the foundation, Maryland
has more than held her own in
the floral line. Whether it has
been roses, camelias, chrysanthe-
mums or other flowers, Maryland
perfection has made many of
these typical in excellence. Mary-
land roses grace the lawns of
many States, and are admired by
legions of flower lovers, as well
as florists. Many beautiful roses
have originated on Maryland
soil, the result of intelligent,
enthusiastic study and experi-
ment made by nature students
whose fame will live long after
they are called to their eternal
flower abode.

Among those who have pro-
duced roses of beauty and qual-
ity is John Cook of Baltimore.
Some of his creations are Souve-
nir de Wootten, Admiral Schley,
Marian Dingee, Cardinal, My
Maryland, Radiance and others. Mr. James Pentland
in his day was also quite a rose enthusiast, as well as an
extensive grower of camelias. Among the roses Mr.
Pentland produced and disseminated are George Pea-
body and Woodland Margaret. Edward Kress of Balti-
more, is the latest addition to the rose originators. A
number of handsome chrysanthemums have been raised
by Baltimore florists. E. A. Seidewitz a few years ago
introduced some fine seedlings, and Paul Binder, at one
time gardener for Mr. Parr of Lutherville, Md., also
1 some very creditable seedlings. Samuel Feast,
James Pentland and Robt. J. Halliday were all great
camelia fanciers and had large greenhouses exclusively
devoted to their erowing. Up to several years after the
war, camelias in Baltimore were the style, and graced
the bosom of the Baltimore belles in their evening
parades on the fashionable avenues. In 1880 Mr. Hal-
liday published a very thorough and practical treatise
on the culture of the camelia. The carnation Genevieve

"MARYLAND, MY MARYLAND."

There is no other land so fair

As Maryland —
So filled with friends, so free from care

As Maryland.
And none will ever seem to me
So good and beautiful to see"
For no place else can ever be —
Just Maryland, "My Maryland."

From year to year all days are glad

In Maryland.
'TIs only leaving makes hearts sad

In Maryland.
Her women — noblest are ou earth:
Her men are of most sterling worth—
Faith, hope and loveliness gave birth
To Maryland. "My Maryland."

A land of milk and honey — God

Made Maryland;
The fairest sky ,the greenest sod

Gave Maryland:
Then said that henceforth it should lie
From tyranny and famine free —
The home of hospitality —

God's land, "My Maryland."

Go where you will, stay where you may.

In Maryland;
You'll wish forever there to stay.

In Maryland;
From North to South, from East to Wesl
Of all earth lands it is most bless'd;
Tho it were not, I'd love it best —
It's Maryland. "My Maryland."

Li i til was raised and introduced at Oakland, Md., by
H. Weber & Sons.

The tendency to suburban villas has seemed to lessen
the interest in greenhouses in the city. At one period
Baltimore was famous for its conservatories attached to
the residences of wealthy people. Not only were flow-
ers raised, but immense quantities of magnificent hot
house grapes were produced. In those days the old
Horticultural Society had grand shows, and the display
of hot house grapes made by Messrs. Wm. T. Walters,
W. W. Spence, Wm. Fowler from Clifton (which was
then the home of Johns Hopkins and is now Clifton
Park), Geo. S. Brown, Jno. W. Garrett, W. H. Perot,
Breckenridge, Raisin and others was remarkable.

Among the many fine estates in the vicinity of Balti-
more nnw are the following: "Hampton," which has
been in the Ridgely family for
ages. The present owner is Cap-
tain John Ridgely. This estate
originally comprised upwards of
three thousand acres. It now has
about one thousand acres. The
residence is a fine example of
Colonial architecture with two
splendid fronts. There are many
rare and beautiful trees, among
them two splendid specimens of
the Cedar of Lebanon. On the
east side are three terraces, two
of which are adorned with quaint
boxwood borders within which
the flowers are planted. "Up-
lands," the estate of Mrs. Henry
Barton Jacobs, is a grand place
with over forty acres in a won-
derfully well-kept lawn. The en-
tire tract comprises many hun-
dred acres. There are magnifi-
cent oaks and many remarkable
conifers. Mrs. Jacobs has many
greenhouses and produces rare
orchids in profusion. She is a
very liberal contributor to the
State horticultural shows, and "Uplands'" exhibits of
plants and flowers are always the attractive features.

The country place of Wm. Lanahan near the city is
noted for its handsome lawn of thirty-five acres, the
splendid big oak trees and varied assortment of flower-
ing shrubs.

Gustav Lurman, near Catonsville, has a fine Colonial
mansion and handsome grounds surrounding it. The
garden style is strictly Colonial. The conifers are
among the finest in the State.

Probably one of the handsomest horticultural dis-
plays on private property is that on the estate of Ex-
Governor Warfield, and much credit is due Mr. Charles
Wood, its gardener. Evergreens, arbor vitaes, palms
and various foliage plants are placed artistically around ;
a box hedge surrounds the garden, and in the center is a
pool with rocks adorned with ferns and umbrella plants
which are constantly covered with spray from the foun-
tain which fills the pool. In the pond is a quantity of

estate. During the winter the garden will probably be

covered with a portable conservatory, so made that it

may hi- taken down again next summer. Mr. \\ 1 has

also artisticalrj decorated with plants the roof of Gover-
nor Warfield's garage and this will prove to be one of
the show places during the coming convention. A
fountain is in the center of the roof.

I l:i n GROWING IN MARYLAND

Fruit growing in Maryland is a very Lmportanl indus-
try from which a very large revenue is realized. Com-
paring the size of the State with other States. Maryland
would probablj bi i lassed as the greatest fruit growing
State in the Union. No other State can equal the
diversity of her fruil products, or excel them in appear-
ance and delicious quality. From
the mountain regions come mag-
nificent apples, luscious peaches,
and delicious pears, and the vari-
ous small fruits. And these prod-
:v Lr>-n< Tally raised through-
out the State, from mountain
top to the ocean beach. Of course
the varieties oi apples, peai lies
and pears vary in kind in the
many sections, a- some varieties
do better in certain sections.

In Southern Maryland, espe-
cially in the part known as the
rn Shore, where it is de-
clared the G of Mil. a
located, the climal litions
are such that what might be
classed as tropical fruits are
profitably grown and of wonder-
ful elegance. At one tim< in this
section the peach orchards were
conspicuous, and it was the fruit
from these same orchards that
years ago gave Maryland peaches
a national reputation. War, yel-
and other conditional
troubles came, causing neglect m
the orchards, finally resulting in
their being completely
doned.

For years thereafter there was
no interest manifested in fruit
growing. The older people
seemed discouraged and even the
sons of the men who had been fa-
mous peach growers did not seem to have any desire to
revive the business. A little later on the mountain lands
-tern Maryland, especially in Washington county,
began to develop into peach orchards. The experiment
was a revelation. Today the available mountain slopes,
the i ind even down in the fertile

valleys, all are covered with grand orchards.

Peaches were produced first, but now the apple is just
as great a success. Today Washington county orchards
remind one of the famous orange region at Riverside,
California. Orchards here, there, everywhere you look.
^Tot ordinary or,! t those that are orderly, in

strain ell-kept, every tree symmetrical,

and with luxuriant dark green foliage that denotes per-
fection in health.

Washington county is said to have the largest contin-
uous apple orchard in the world, nearly ten miles, owned

o\ on, mail. Mr. Nicodemus. In this section the past
spring the acreage in new orchards was a record breaker.
Tin number of trees count far up in the thousands.
The prevailing method of putting in a new orchard is
to plant apphs and peaches alternately. By the time
the apples come into profitable bearing, the peach trees
ha\, served then- usefulness and are removed and an
exclusive apple orchard results. New orchards in every
county in the State were put out last spring. In the
tide-water counties, in the near future, the peach will
again become prominent, for there are many orchards
that will commence to yield fruit next year.

The State horticultural exhibition last winter in Bal-
tiniorc surprised everyone with the grand display of
apples that had been grown in the State. It was also
a gn ater surprise to see that quality apples of the same
variety came from so many sections of the State. Ap-

pies from the eastern shore tide-

water counties came in for a
liberal share of blue ribbon
honors. This seemed strange as
it had been concluded that it
was quite impossible to raise
apples there, because of the
climatic conditions, etc. Theory
alone caused these conclusions.
Practical demonstration proved
otherwise. Years ago Kent
county was famous for the ex-
cellence and great variety of
pears produced there. C'apt. R.
II. Emory was the pioneer pear
raiser and expert authority on
pears. His orchard production
of both pears and peaches gave
him a deserved reputation. After
his death his son took charge of
the orchards and has also been
very successful.

The small fruit industry in
Maryland is very extensive and
a great revenue is derived from
it. The eastern shore is the
main section where the small
fruits are extensively produced.
Strawberries are shipped in
great quantity to the eastern
states. An idea of the magni-
tude of the strawberry "patches"
can be gained when it is a fact
that at one station, Marion, the
station agent showed the writer
that the average daily shipment
in tie of the season was twenty-five carloads of

crated st raw berries.

At Ridgely, Caroline County, last fall the Armours
of Chicago built an immense factory for making pre-
They pay the strawberry growers six cents a
quart, return all boxes to the growers. Farmers are in-
creasing their strawberry acreage and say selling thus at
home with no losses of baskets or crates is proving more
able than shipping. The factory can handle one
hundred thousand quarts, or more, a day. Raspberries,
blackberries and other bush fruits are grown and
shipped to the markets. Growing cantaloupes is very
extensively carried on in Wicomico County. There is
one grower, near Salisbury, who often has over 100
acres in melons. His average shipment, when the season
is on, is three refrigerator carloads daily. Boston, Pitts-
burgh and Xew York are their destination.

BA1 riMtUM.'s BOSPITALITT

BaJ -i hospitable city as has been experi-

enced i*\ members of the craft who have bad opportun-
ity to visit their fellow florists and nurserymen there.
The Americas Carnation Society met in Baltimore in
190] and the methodical well-trained manner in which
all the details of business and entertainment were car-
oul h as a surprise to the visitors.

On two occasions previously has Baltimore made an
i effort to induce the S. A. !•'. to hold its conven-
tion there but in each instance failed to land the prize.
In 1891 at Toronto. Washington and Baltimore were
keen rivals for the 1892 convention and Washington
won. In 1902, when Baltimore tried again. Milwaukee
vanquished her. Yet when the Society met for the sec-
ond time in Washington, in 1905, Baltimore's public
spirit and large-hearted generosity overcame all thought
of former disappointments and although the city was
only beginning to recover from the appalling devasta-
tion of the gnat tire, Baltimore asked for and was
granted by Washington the privilege of assisting in the
entertainment of the visitors on one afternoon specially
set apart for that purpose. How well the affair waa
carried out those who were fortunate enough to partici-
pate in that drive through the city and sail on the bay
will never Eorget. And now after twenty years of
patient waiting the Monumental City has attained her
ambition and the National Society is to meet within her
hospitable gates.

In the '"Traveling Keeollections," by Thomas Meehan
in the Gardeners' Monthly for October, 1874, appears
the following characteristic attestation to the old-time
Baltimoreans' approval of the adage that "All work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy:"

"Baltimore florists seem to have a better time of it
than most of their brethren. The writer of these sketches
made a number of calls, but this one was gone fishing,
another was on a picnic down the river, and others 'were
gone to New York,' to Boston,' to Philadelphia,' and
various other places of which we have some recollections
of having heard. We were, however, kindly permitted to
run through the establishments by those in charge. It
was pleasant to note that they were all generally prosper-
ous, though they might probably be more so if they were
all more alive to modern Improvements."

HALTIMOliE S TAKES

Baltimore has a number of splendid parks, of which
I 'raid Hill is the principal and the most famous. Thom-
a Median, in the article from which the foregoing quo-
tation was made, has this to say of Druid Hill Park:

"Druid Hill Park is sure to be found 'at home,' though
all other attractions are away. The best time to see this
is towards evening, when the lights and shadows rapidly
change away. The land is so rolling and so beautifully
wooded, that this play of the shadows is particularly
effective. Like most parks of any extent in American cit-
ies, ibis one is in connection with the city water works,
which gives it the advantage of large sheets of water in
the extensive reservoirs around which the most striking
drives are led."

"The park is one of that style called natural, and of
which people often boast that it is ready made from the
hand of nature, needing nothing but a few roads and walks
to make it a perfect specimen of landscape gardening. To
be sure these places are oftener greater credits to the gar-
dener's art, little though he may do in these cases to de-
serve credit, than many places wholly made. The defect
in these natural parks is chiefly in the great sameness they
present. A drive through a hundred acres is usually as
good as if through a thousand. Hearing so much praise of
the Druid Hill Park as one requiring no aid from the land-
scape gardener, we were prepared to expect much of the
usual monotony. It is a pleasure to say, however, that cir-
cumsiances have favored a great variety of scenes and
peculiar features. The landscape gardener seems to have
caught the spirit of change which the natural features
present, and we think it more than likely that for a 'nat-
ural park,' Druid Hill will be made in time one of the best
in the world."

LOOKING BACK

There is much that is historically interesting in Balti-
more, but that part we shall not touch upon here other
than to say that the subject of our cover illustration is
one of the most notable objects in the city — the Wash-
ington monument, 163 feet in height, built entirely of
marble and the first monument erected to the memory
of Washington. As showing the progress made by Bal-
timore, in common with other American cities during
the past sixty years, the following notes which we have
copied from the Universal Gazeteer published in Boston
in 1853, will no doubt interest our readers:

"The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad extends from the
city to the Ohio River at Pittsburg, 300 miles. Many cars
are already in operation upon the railroad. Some of them
are drawn by horse power, some driven by steam and some
by wind. The cars with sails go sometimes 25 miles an
hour and can lie within 4 points of the wind. The whole
distance from Baltimore to Pittsburg, when completed, will
be traveled, according to estimation, by horse power in 30
hours, and by steam in 20. Baltimore has S0.625 in-
nts."

Dame Nature seems to be doing her
best to get into attractive dress for
the florists' reception next week. The
showers of the past week throughout
Maryland have proved very acceptable
although they have caused consider-
able damage in some sections, wash-
ing away bridges, ruining roads and
destroying out-of-door stock. Previ-
ous to this the drought was proving
disastrous. In Baltimore and other
places, the citizens were ordered not
to waste any water. Such a restric-
tion as this surely shows a grave con-
dition and the florists will need some
for the purposes of ablution at least.

It started way up In the hill-tops,
That dear little rollicking breeze;

It swayed like a fairy the tree-tops
And flirted with millions of leaves.

Then rushing down Into the valley.
It kissed all the loveliest flowers,

And lifting their heads to the cloudlets,
It whispered a promise of showers.

Over the boundless ocean,

It danced to the twinkle of stars.

And tossing the foam of the breakers,
Flung it high over the bars.

On thro' the gates of the city,
Where panted the weary and weak,

It swept like a blessing from heaven,
Fanning the hot, fevered cheek.

It whispered a tale of the hill and thev»le;

It brought them a whiff of the sea;
It rocked them to sleep with a song of the
deep —

A song of the flower and the bee.

Seed Trade

Pea Situation Slightly Better.
There have been no radical changes
in crop conditions during the past
three or four weeks but the interval
lias served to brjng the end more near-
lj in sight especially with reference
to peas. The pea crop is now virtually
made, and the only possible effect of
weather would he to damage rather
than to help the crop. From all in-
formation available, it looks at this
as if tin- crop would not be as
bad as last year though it will be very
short. In some districts conditions
are tally as bad as last year, while in
others they are much better, and
while, of course, it is impossible to
state what percentages will be de-
livered on contracts we would venture
the opinion that these percentages as
a whole, will be materially better
than a year ago.

Farmers' Alaskas and Canners' Sweet.
Last year the farmers of Wisconsin
raised, approximately, from 40 to
5O,O0U bushels of what are known as
"tanners' Alaskas." while it is esti-
mated that the crop this year will not
exceed 5000 bushels. This is not due
to any material reduction in acreage
but to the climatic conditions at the
time that peas were in bloom and
most susceptible to the bad effects of
intense hot weather. The 50 000
bushels of "farmers' Alaskas" which
were grown last year went into con-
sumption quite generally, principally
being used by the canners. This year
they will not have this source to draw
against, and it would seem as if good
pedigree seed should be worth fully as
much and possibly mav bring even
higher prices than a year ago. The
same may be said regarding what are
known as canners' "sweet peas " the
latter including Horsfords, Advancers,
Admirals, Surprise and Prince of
Wales. While other varieties than
these are used in emergencies, these
varieties comprise practically all that
are used by the canning trade in
years when they can be procured in
sufficient quantity. The crop of canned
peas will be rather lighter than last
year, in fact, from all reports the crop
will be decidedly lighter than a year
ago, and if one may gauge the situa-
tion by prevailing prices on the
canned product, the total pack will be
the lightest ever harvested from the
acreage planted. No doubt, the grow-
ers of sweet peas will be sending out
their preliminary reports within the
next few weeks and then we shall
come nearer knowing the exact situa-
tion. The only guide the grower has
at this time of the year is his field
estimates, and it has been shown that
these are a very uncertain guide this
year. While the threshing returns
have, in a few instances, been better
than the estimates, as a rule, they
have been disappointing and have re-
duced the estimates from one-half to
one fold. One factor that has materi-
ally affected the pea crop, particularly
in Wisconsin, has been the ravages of
the pea louse. This pest made its ap-
pearance rather late in the season, but
within the short time they had to
work, several thousands of acres of
the late planting were practically de-
stroyed. One of the large Wisconsin

packers is said to have lost about 700
acres due entirely to the louse.

Beans.
Beans are looking fairly well, but
will not be a very heavy crop. Some
of the growers are not expecting above
one-half to two-thirds of the average
yield, while others are looking for bet-
ter results. There is not much chance
for any material improvement in the
bean crop, while a wet harvest may
mean that the crop that matures may
be reduced materially, while samples
will be generally unsatisfactory.
Should dry weather prevail during
harvest, samples should be fine, and
there will probably be beans enough
to satisfy all ordinary requirements.

will be a market in the west for con-
siderable eastern grown stock this fall.
California crops, as a whole, are
fairly satisfactory, and there has been
no serious damage reported to any line
of seeds grown on the Pacific Coast.
We h£ve not had any definite news as
to the European situation, and do not
think that actual conditions will be
known for the next 30 or 60 days. In
a general way, nearly all root crops
will be light as has been reported in
these columns from time to time.
Actual figures, we are unable to give
at this writing, but hope to be able
to give something more definite within
the next few weeks.

Corn.
Corn is still an uncertain factor in
the crop situation, but we infer from
reports received that early corn has
suffered beyond all hope of improve-
ment and the crop will be very light.
Later varieties with favorable con-
ditions from now on, will doubtless
yield fair results, but there is always
danger of early frost, and we can
only hope that this may be delayed
until after the crop is sufficiently
matured to be past damage from any
ordinary white frost. Hard, freezing
weather would, of course, be very dis-
astrous to corn even after it had
matured enough to resist the ordinary
early frosts.

We are informed that the Batchelor
Seed Store, of Utica, N. Y., is going
out of business. Whether they will
sell out to some other concern or sim-
ply close out the business, we have
not been informed, but the fact that
they are really going to close out is,
we believe, definitely settled.

Miscellaneous Crop Notes.
In the west the potato crop this year
has been the poorest in 25 years. In
many states there will hardly be
enough produced to meet home re-
quirements, and it looks as if there

Henry M. Robinson, of H. M. Robin-
son & Co., Boston, has gone on a trip
to Canada, including a visit to the Can-
adian Horticultural Association's Con-
vention at Ottawa. Jos. Margolis of
the same firm is off on his vacation.

John McKenzie of North Cambridge,
Mass., is on a visit to his old home in
Rossshire, Scotland. He expects to
visit London and Belgium before he
returns. Mr. McKenzie's greenhouses
are in charge of his foreman, Charlie
Sutherland. Miss Mary Gallagher, the
popular clerk at his store, 1927 Massa-
chusetts avenue, is looking after that
part of the business.

A letter just received from A. Leu-
thy of Roslindale, Mass., who is now
travelling in Europe, informs us that
in Belgium as well as elsewhere he
has found the weather very hot. He
says that he finds the prices of azaleas
fuily as high as last year and some
sorts in very short supply. But they
are well budded and all stock looks
well as a rule. From Belgium he was
starting for Paris.

Flower Market Reports. WHOLESALE FLOWER MARKETS.-TRADB PR'cfrDp^L0E°K

TO DEALERS ONLY

Trade has been decided-
BOSTON ly good in some lines of

demand, especially the
summer shipping trade to points north
and on the coast. There is an enor-
mous accumulation, however, of low
grade flowers such as roses from
young plants recently set out. asters,
gladioli, etc. American Beauty of
fairly good quality are in good supply
but demand has fallen off very sudden-
ly and it is the opinion of wholesalers
that crops from points more or less
distant are being at present diverted
heavily in this direction which would
indicate that outlets elsewhere are
congested. Killarney roses are not
selling proportionately as well as last
year and it is in evidence that the
trade are beginning to look with espe-
cial favor on those varieties which
have shown points of superiority as
"summer roses." Mrs. Taft (Prince
de Bulgarie) and Radiance are
among the popular newcomers in
this line and the good old President
Carnot is not losing a bit of its unique
popularity. Kaiserin would be equally
fortunate in the white class if only it
did not bruise so readily. There are
absolutely no buyers for the small
flowers from stock in winter blooming
rose houses. Very few carnations are
seen and those are poor. In gladioli,
Shakespeare. Lafayette and America
hold the admiration of the trade be-
yond all others. In the main, how-
ever, gladioli in this market are un-
precedentedly low in quality, due to
the effects of dry weather. The worst

failure is the asters. The market
places are clogged up with bushels of
asters — small, twisted, half developed
freaks, showing the terrible results of
the roasting and drying up which they
have suffered except where they
happened to be planted in low wet
ground. Of the latter there are only
a few; the aster crop, as a whole, may
be pronounced a dismal failure this
year. Lilies and lily of the valley
normal in all respects.

The first week in August
CHICAGO was not a very satisfac-
tory one to either the re-
tail or the wholesale trade. There has
been a decided falling off in the local
demand, owing partly to the number

of people now out of the city, and also
a diminishing of the shipping business.
More out-of-door flowers, which are
thriving as a result of the recent rains,
are doubtless being used by flower
lovers, and from now till frost comes
the chances are that the demand will
be lighter than in July, which was a
particularly good month with most
florists here. Asters are now here in
quantity, and the first really long
stems were seen this week. They were
consigned to the J. A. Budlong Co.,
and were nearly three feet long. In-
dications are that the late crop will
be all that can be desired. Carnations
cut from the field plants are of course

very short of stem, but many have fine
color and good size. Roses are of all
kinds and conditions, small ones pre-
dominating as usual at this season.
There are some very satisfactory
Beauties in the market, lily of the val-
ley as good as ever for the season, and
a fine lot of miscellaneous stock for
variety. Golden Glow marks the pass-
ing of the first half of the summer.
Tritoma seems to have lost its powers
of endurance in this market and drops
almost invariably the day after arrival.
A profusion of lilies of many kinds
helps with the window displays, and
combined with green make an artistic
effect. There is plenty of all kinds of
green.

Business is only fair.

CINCINNATI Flowers of all kinds
are plentiful. Beau-
ties, considering the season, could not
be improved on. Tea roses are again
coming in heavy crop and only the
better grades move with any degree
of regularity. Asters are becoming
too numerous for the market de-
mands. The majority of those re-
ceived are of an inferior quality.
There is an over abundant supply of
gladioli, light and bright tints having
the best call, the dark shade moving
slowly. Longiflorum, auratum and
speciosum lilies find a fair market.
Green goods in ample supply.

The situation as it

NEW YORK exists here is not no-
ticeably different from
what it has been in previous years ex-
cept that asters, field carnations, glad-
ioli and other things dependent large-
ly on outdoor weather conditions run
much lower in grade than ever before.
The only real good stock in this line
is that from growers who have used
water unsparingly or have planted on
land at water level. Quality runs low
on very many specialties, particularly
roses. While there is a reasonable
demand for such occasional first class
stuff as may be obtainable yet the con-
ditions generally are those of mid-
summer and there is nothing that can
be done to change them. The main
satisfaction lies in the fact that they
cannot get any worse. There is prac-
tically no out of town shipping trade
in this market and the little agitation
which other centres enjoy in these
otherwise indolent times is denied the
New Yorker, who must look to his
own home market for flower buyers
or else commit hari kari.

thing went to pieces. The demand in
all lines seemed to vanish into thin
air. On top of this latter situation
stocks came piling in more than usual.
Especially was this the case with the
important summer crops such as as-
ters and gladioli. These latter were
unusually plentiful and when Saturday
came there was a big unsold pile which
went with difficulty. There was a lot
of other outdoor stock: such as hy-
drangeas, golden glow, phlox, gaillar-
dia and so forth. Consequently — there
is no clapping of cymbals in our midst;
but on the other hand we are not as
yet altogether playing the Dead March
in Saul. Our high hopes were shat-
tered; but we are not quite yet in the
Slough of Despond! American Beauty
sold well — so did My Maryland — and
Killarney is getting better. A pleasing
novelty in pink roses has appeared —
Prince de Bulgarie — from local sources.
A fine summer rose of a pleasing sil-
very pink. All greens are too plenti-
ful. Stephanotis is a refreshing nov-
elty. Orchids are scarce and dear.
Carnations are down and out. Garde-
nias are small but good and clean.
Lilies good — never saw them better.
The market all through
ST. LOUIS the last week was in ex-
cellent condition, all
the wholesalers having plenty of stock
of everything in season, and a glut was
on in asters and gladioli, many more
of these coming in from our local
growers than the trade could handle,
and the price went down, almost cut
to half of the week previous. Asters
are also low. Roses are coming better
and sold low also. Long Beauties are
very cheap. Carnations are scarce and
will be for a time. The retail trade
is very dull, and on many days it is
the dullest in years. They expect it
to be so for this month at least.

Detroit. — During the early part of
the week flowers were exceedingly
scarce, but towards the end hot
weather and lessened call brought
about a great surplus in all lines.

CHICAGO NOTES.
A Progressive Place.
The Edgebrook Nurseries of The
Geo. Wittbold Co. are well worth a
trip of inspection to anyone interest-
ed in plants. Everywhere in the
greenhouses are cement benches, even
the high benches under the glass be-
ing of cement and all can be taken
down and moved about at will. The
regular benches are many of them
"doubledecked." The lower one rests
on feet that are short and wide at
the bottom and the upper bench has
four foot posts resting on the first
bench. This arrangement greatly adds
to the capacity of a house and affords
a fine place for forcing and storing
bulbs. The stock looked so uniform-
ly good that it is hard to particular-
ize but some Dracena Massangeana,
Cibotium Schiedei, and cycas were es-
pecially noted. A bed of 8000 thriving
young Asparagus plumosa are worth
mention. The eighty acres of nursery
stock must be seen to be appreciated
and it is a credit to Otto Wittbold
who has had charge of it since the
place was first started and who helped
fell the timber which originally cov-
ered the ground.

Some Foley Greenhouses.

The Wm. E. Lynch Co. have their
1 ange of greenhouses on Harlem Ave.
ready for glazing. The material was
furnished by the Foley Manufacturing
Co., with their channel iron gutters
and maleable iron bar fasteners. 300
feet of continuous ventilation are
secured by their apparatus. A similar
plant by the Heller Bros, of New Cas-
tle, Ind., is now being erected, and all
material for this is also furnished by
the Foley Manufacturing Co. An ex-
tensive exhibit of greenhouse material
has been shipped to Baltimore, and a
greenhouse will be shown having all
the latest Foley improvements, and if

,\ .1. Rupp of the John C. Moninger
Co. will attend the Baltimore Con-
vention, as is his usual custom. There
is no one better posted on the subject
of right methods and right materials
for making a good greenhouse plant
than .Mr. Rupp. Mr. MoKee of the
same firm states that florists generally
are building a much better class of
greenhouses than formerly. Their
new catalog will be sent for the ask-
ing.

Frank Oechslin's new range of
houses for palms and ferns is about
completed, and will be planted by the.
time this is in print. They cover 125x
130 square feet of ground, and are a
great addition to his range, occupying
a space nearer the entrance and with
the cement walls and walks make a
very neat appearance. The Foley Man-

ufacturing Co. furnished the material,
and a Kroeschell boiler No. 12 was in-
stalled. Anyone interested in plants
will be well repaid for a visit to this
model establishment.

At the E. H. Hunt supply house new
goods in all lines arc coming in to take
the place of the quantities that were
moved out during their pre-inventory
sale. A. F. Longren, salesman, who
has just returned from a very success-
ful trip thinks the conditions favorable
to an active fall trade in all kinds of
florists' supplies. A new man has been
added to the force, R. H. Starbnck,
who will talc< care of the western ter-
ritory. A new wholesale catalog will
be ready for distribution Sept. first,
and should be in the hands of every
florist.

Personal.

J. Starrett, the LaSalle Hotel florist
is away receiving treatment for rheu-
matism.

James G. Hancock is calling on old

friends in Grand Rapids and other
Michigan points this week.

Frank Pasternick has the sympathy
of the trade in the loss of his mother
whose death occurred last week.

Geo. Woodward who has been ill all
summer following an operation is soon
to take a vacation. He will spend some
time in Lake Geneva, Wis., which, his
friends hope, will go far toward his
complete recovery.

C. N. Dickinson is combining busi-
ness with pleasure at his summer
home on Pelican Lake and writes that
he has closed contracts for a good sup-
ply of Christmas green including ber-
ried stock.

Wm. Allen is now in charge of the
conservatories in connection with the
retail store of Schiller, the Florist, at
2221 West Madison street. Mr. Allen
had several years of experience in the
east when he first came from England,
and has been with F. Oechslin the past

LEO NIESSEN CO.— The steady
growth of this firm is well known to
all who are familiar with the cut flow-
er commission business. Although a
corporation, the business is condui
solely by Messrs. Leo Niessen, presi-
dent, and Arthur A. Niessen, secretarj
and treasurer. From a most humble
beginning their business has grown to
si < b proportions that today it is con-
sidered one of the largest of its kind.
By no means are they satisfied with
what they have accomplished in their
particular line, and their progressive
spirit can readily be seen by the plans
which are now under way, which will
increase their facilities three-fold. A
ii. w building is to be erected in the
heart of the city, which will rival any
establishment of its kind in the coun-
try. It will have every possible ad-
vantage, such as a central location, up-
to date equipment, an abundance of
daylight, and — what would seem D
essential — the kind of management
that insures continued growth and
more success in the future. Unless the
business principles of this firm are
correct and of a high standard, it
would have been impossible for them
to have accomplished what they I

BERGER BROS.— This firm, com-

: of 1 lai ty and John Bi
established in the wholesale w<

i.ission business in 1904. at

tiained to the florist trade before this,
having been associated with their
father. William Berger of Germantown.
Th«-;r business has I from

U te<i the ranks.

PENNOCK BROS.— This retail flor-
ist house was founded forty years ago
by Abram L. Pennock. The location
was then on 12th street between Mar-
ket and Chestnut streets. In 1866 his
brother, Joseph Liddon Pennock was
admitted and the firm name became
Pennock Bros., which it has remained
ever since. On account of failing
health J. L. Pennock retired and
shortly thereafter Thomas Cartledge
and John Westcott became partners.
The present members of the firm are
J. Liddon Pennock (a son of Abram L.
Pennock) and A. B. Cartledge (a son
of the late Thomas Cartledge). The
store is located at 1514 Chestnut street
and is a model for completeness and
up-to-date equipment. Notwithstand-
ing keen competition, brainy and ag-
gressive rivalry, this old house holds
its own, getting its full share of the
creme-de-la-creme of the flower trade
of Philadelphia.

GODFREY ASCHMANN.— In the
florist business at 1012 Ontario street
since 1886 — previous to that he had
been a jobbing gardener for seven
years. His three sons — John, Howard,
and Edward — are now associated with
him in the business, which has grown
to considerable proportions. Mr. Asch-
mann makes a specialty of flowering
and foliage plants for Christmas and
Easter — particularly begonias, azaleas,
lilies, palms and araucarias. He does
tin extensive shipping trade, having
worked this up by unique advertising
methods through the trade papers.
The glass area is estimated at 25,000
square feet. Much of the stock offered
for sale is imported — Mr. Aschmann
making frequent trips to Europe for
the purpose of selecting the best bar-
gains.

SWEET PEAS AT FORDHOOK, 1911.

When one wishes to get a line on
the very latest developments in sweet
peas it is best to go to headquarters.
That is Fordhook, of course. The Bur-
pee sweet pea expert has very kindly
furnished us with some information
about the most striking of the newer
sorts which we have pleasure in pass-
ing along to our readers. George W.
Kerr has lived among the sweet peas
in the field tor many years and knows
them as a mother her children — so
what he had to say in response to
your interviewer's questions may b,e
taken as authentic. On being asked
what varieties were most promising for
next season he said:

Among new sweet peas for next sea-
son the most outstanding are undoubt-
edly Vermilion Brilliant. Irish Belle.
Margaret Madson, Rainbow, Pearl
Gray and Margaret Atlee.

Vermillion Brilliant is, as the name
implies, a glowing crimson-scarlet va-
riety and I would unhesitatingly say
it is easily the best and most distinct
of its color, the flower being a decided
self, that is the standard and wings
being of the same shade of reddish
crimson.

Irish Belle is a unique shade and
might be termed a lavender self suf-
fused throughout with rose. It is,
however,, a color most difficult to de-
.scribe.

Margaret Madson is a beautiful pale
blue or lavender of much the same
color as Mrs. Geo. Higginson, Jr., a
favorite grandiflora variety. This is
undoubtedly a gem.

Margaret Atlee I consider one of the
.most beautiful varieties of sweet peas.
The color is apricot on cream ground,
the flowers being of immense size,
quite a large proportion being pro-
•duced with double or triple standards.

All the above were awarded certifi-
cates of merit by the National Sweet
Pea Society at their recent show in

Philadelphia, the first named variety,
Vermilion Brilliant, receiving the sil-
ver cup offered by the Philadelphia
North American for the best new va-
riety not yet in commerce.

Of the varieties sent out last year
those of outstanding merit are Stirling
Stent undoubtedly the brightest and
most glowing color in sweet peas. It
might be described as a rich orange
with suspicion of scarlet. It is early
and a free flowerer and, strange to re-
late, it burns but very slightly even
in the hottest suns.

Florence Nightingale is a clear lav-
ender which might be described as
Asta Ohn without the rosy suffusion
on the standard. This is a variety
that we are certain would hold its
place as the standard lavender for
many years to come.

Chas. Foster is quite new as to eol-
<or scheme, the combination in this va-
riety being most difficult to describe.
'The ground color is mauve through-

out on which we find pinkish suffu-
sions and veiniugs. In some stages of
growth it is rather washy in appear-
ance and although it seems to have
created quite a furore in England we
do not think it will ever become very
popular in America.

Earl Spencer is another very fine
variety and approaches somewhat
Stirling Stent but is not quite so glow-
ing in color. Although said by many
to be synonymous with the latter va-
riety it is really quite distinct and is
a most desirable sort.

Ethel Roosevelt although a striped
variety has made quite a name for it-
self this season and has been much ad-
mired wherever grown. The striping,
however, is so delicate that it has not
the bizzare appearance of some of the
heavier flaked varieties such as Gaiety,
etc. Another name for this variety, by
the way, is Mrs. Tegwell, the latter
va ety having been sent out this sea-
son by an English firm.

Arthur Green might be described as
an immense Spencerized Duke of Clar-
ence and there is certainly a place for
this fine variety.

Edrom Beauty which was raised on
the other side of the "pond" and sent
out with most glowing recommenda-
tions we consider nothing better than
a good stock of Helen Lewis.

Martha Washington has been re-
named quite a number of times this
season it having been sent out in Eng-
land under the names of Marchioness
of Tweedale, Eric Harvey and Paradise
Apple Blossom. This variety pleased
me exceedingly last season and I can-
not say that I am disappointed with it
this year as it is undoubtedly a chaste
and dainty pea, the delicate rose mark-
ings on pure white ground making it
a very attractive sort.

In blues we have this season made
some wonderful additions in the Spen-
cer class, the most outstanding varie-
ties being May Farquhar, which might
be termed a Lord Nelson — colored
Spencer and Paradise Navy which ap-
proaches May Farquhar in color and
may be more of a true blue shade.

I was greatly disappointed with
Maud Holmes and Sunproof Crimson
and after careful comparisons through-
out the growing season I put them
down as being similar to good Ameri-
can stocks of King Edward Spencer.

On being asked to give a list of the
most distinct and best varieties of
Spencers suitable either for exhibition
or market work Mr. Kerr said he
would unhesitatingly plump for
Countess Spencer, Florence Morse
Spencer, King Edward Spencer, Mrs.
Routzahn; Helen Lewis, Geo. Herbert,
Florence Nightingale, Primrose Spen-
cer, White Spencer, Othello Spencer,
Mrs. Hugh Dickson, \Y. T. Hutchins,
Constance Oliver, Marie Corelli, Mrs.
C. W. Breadmore, Dainty Spencer,
Miriam Beaver and Stirling Stent. Of
course, this is only a matter of indi-
vidual taste and perhaps the next
grower if asked to make his selection
might suggest quite a number of alter-
ations in this list.

The latter list should be made a
careful note of by those who wish to
avoid a too large list (and at the
same time desire only the very best)
as Mr. Kerr is in a position to know
thoroughly the immense number of
named varieties now catalogued.

EVERGREEN SEED GARDENS,
TORRESDALE, PA.

Not quite two years old this place —
the nursery department and trial
grounds of the Michell Seed House of
Philadelphia ranks among the most
progressive and up-to-date establish-
ments of its kind in the country.

Though well supplied now with
modern dwellings, greenhouses, sta-
bles, storage houses, etc., and an un-
limited number of frames the firm Is
planning to add several large houses
to take care of their supply of hardy
roses, which in the near future will
be the leading feature of these gar-
dens. An immense collection has
been already planted with the inten-
tion of retaining them as a permanent
attraction to which will be added each
year's new introductions so that visi-
tors will here find a most complete
collection. The land and location
seems to be very favorable for the
cultivation of the rose. Eighteen men
are at present employed here.

Fully 20 acres are devoted to the
growing of perennials and in addition
there are more than 500 frames which
contain perennials in pots, and are
equipped with the overhead watering
system. Henry F. Michell Co. found
the demand for perennials during the
summer months so great, that the
quantity provided for another year is
tenfold.

On a spacious lawn facing the rail-
road are three colossal circular beds
filled with cannas and salvias, the
centre bed containing Mrs. Wallace,
yellow, with King Humbert, red. Canna
Mrs. Wallace is regarded as the best
pure yellow for bedding. Directly be-
hind the lawn are blocks of hardy
phloxes, at least 50,000. The latest
novelties are included, yet one cannot
fail to be impressed with the pure
white, Mrs. Jenkins, which is by far
the best in its class.

Cannas are seen here by the acres,
very effective for advertising pur-
poses. Gladioli and dahlias are a new
feature for these gardens this year.
Particularly showy is Gladiolus "Kun-
derdi Glory." Dahlias are looking
very promising, but are not yet in
bloom.

A most interesting spot is the trial
of novelties to which an immense
stretch is given over. A good novelty
is Oenothera Americana, a product of
Luther Burbank. The immense flow-
ers do not open until dusk. They are
pure white in the evening, and beau-
tiful pink in the morning. The new-
colored salvias, white, yellow and sal-
mon pink, are seen here to advantage.

A young nursery of shrubs has been
started this spring, which includes a
block of 100,000 California privets.

Philadelphia, Pa. — Mrs. Flora Shel-
ley has purchased four acres of land
at Highland Park and will erect a
range of houses. Her property at
Sixtieth and Pine streets has been
sold.

"Spencer"

Sweet Peas

"SPENCER" SWEET PEAS are a great specialty with us! We were the first to grow the seed in America —
the stock having been entrusted to us before introduction, even in England, of the original COUNTESS
SPENCER. We have grown "the original Beauty" and its many "sportive" children with painstaking care
each season since. There are but few other growers who can supply an equal assortment of TRUE RE-
SELECTED "SPENCERS" that are uniformly of such choice quality.

You should try sweet peas from fall sown seed and thus obtain a bountiful supply of the choicest flowers to
offer for sale Decoration Day and during the June commencements.

You can buy so-called "Spencer" Sweet Peas at half our prices — but the result will be only disap-
pointment— and when in flower you will surely admit that you would gladly have paid EVEN DOU-
BLE OUR PRICES to have had the BURPEE— QUALITY of the TRUE SPENCER TYPE!

Great News
For 1911

Introductory

The Baltimoreans promise to give the
members of the S. A. F. one of the most suc-
cessful conventions ever held. Those attend-
ing cannot but realize the wonderful value
these conventions are, with their splendid lec-
tures, interesting ta ks, discussions and trade
exhibits. Aside from these, the value of the
personal talks with the big men of our pro-
fession are often worth the trip. Always some-
thing to learn — their opinions on this subject
or that, the merits of some of the new intro-
ductions in carnations, roses or other flowers,
and how best to handle them. A novelty
whether it is in the flower line or in some other
branch of the business always proves interest-
ing to everyone.

Our Exhibit

Our exhibit at Baltimore will be one of the finest ever staged, containing many
things new in ribbons, supplies, and florists' accessories.

New Roses For 1912

In addition to these, we will have a splendid display of cut flowers, fresh each day, of
the new roses, Double White Killarney and Killarney Queen, originated by The Bud-
long Rose Co., and which are to be disseminated jointly by The S. S. Pennock-Mee-
han Co. and A. N. Pierson, Inc. (in the Spring of 1912.)

DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY with its stronger, more vigorous growth , larger
and heavier flowers, double the petalage, and purer white is a tremendous improve-
ment over White Killarney, and is sure to be a money maker to all who buy, not only
for winter forcing, but for summer growing. We recommend it as being the best and
grandest commercial White Rose today. As a summer rose, it is such an improvement
over Kaiserin that there is no question about its replacing Kaiserin in that connection.
At this writing it is three or four times as large as White Killarney.

KILLARNEY QUEEN is about three shades darker than Pink Killarney, and
during dark and cloudy weather the color does not fade, but remains a bright, deep,
rich pink. It is of very much more vigorous growth than Killarney,
even a stronger grower than Double White Killarney. Flowers are about twice as large
as Pink Killarney, about the same petalage, and borne on tremendously heavy
long stems, larger and heavier foliage. Many consider this rose in the American Beauty
class, its habit, growth, and size are so vigorous and far ahead of Pink Killarney.

Welcome to Visitors

We will be glad to have visitors make our exhibit their headquarters at any or all
times during the Convention, where they will find Mr. Fancourt and his assistants glad
t<> welcome them.

herd's crooks and adjustable pot
s are among the former and will
appeal to our readers from the good
in their designing and their ar-
tistic finish. There is an improvement
on the elastic adjustable pot covet
the waterproof crepe paper in two col-
ors which has been so popular of late
The new pattern is more artistically
frilled, shows off the colors better and
is said to be no higher in price.

In the ribbon department special at-
on is being paid to the production
of ribbons to match the popular ros< s
One of the happiest produced so far is
the Killaruey pattern. This has a
light pink sheen on one side and a
dark pink dull finish on the other, se-
cured by shooting two colors of silk
in the weave. A most charming effect
when folded in natural arranging, and
an exact match for the difficult flower.
Similar effects are in evidence for
Richmond, Beauty. Liberty and Mary-
land. There are also the contrasting
shades for the same varieties carefully
studied out. Another item is chenille
cord and tassel with a twisted appear-
ance that makes same particularly at-
tractive.

Bridal scarfs in Venetian lace and
in many filmy and artistic patterns are
having a great run.. Two yards long
and varying in width from nine to
twelve inches.

Miniature Panama hats are a
specialty that pleases many. Can be
used for favors and also for cluster
flowers in corsage bouquets

Shields for corsage bouquets are
an artistic attempt to protect the dress
and yet blend conspicuously with the

flowers. Some are made of paper, some
of satin, the colors are violet, white
and pink.

Lace bouquet holders are a French
production. These are wavy and pleas-

same proposition is also done in a line
of chiffons, and the latter are quite
unique and distinct from the lace pat-

sance of the old-style bouquet holder
shorn of its stiffness and meeting the

so as to hide the mechanical work.

Prepared natural ferns arc bewil-
dering in variety and coloring. There
are many new things in tins depart-
ment. The wild asparagus sprays in
natural green are favorites, l
device is to tip them scarlet and vio-
let for Christmas trade. l;
wreaths are treated the same way and
make a novel showing.

More trouble for the poor i
grower. Some clever German has a
new patent d process and now you
can't tell the preserved from ibe real

the right shade, and last forever.

Waxed paper is now offered in a
lovely "Moire effect." It looks to me
like a watered silk pattern of.

with handles near the ceiling.

There are seen some excellent Swiss
novelties in little butter tubs, water

trated with a colored flower spray. The

one think of a Venetian madrigal or a

lection is very gay and graceful.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

At a meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee held in New York City at
Traendly & Schenck's office, Presidenl
Adolph Farenwald of Roslyn. Pa,, pre-
siding, ih.' particular matter in ques-
tion was the settlement of the payment
of prizes awarded at the National
Flower Show in Boston. There had
been a variance of opinion in regard
to the construction of the resolution
passed at Rochester, N. Y., relative to
the amount of money that was to be
paid to the National Flower Show
Committee, and until this had been set-
tled the prizes had been held in abey-
ance. Vice-President Philip Breit-
meyer advised, "I am in favor of a set-
tlement rather than have any ill-feel-
ing especially with the lot of men who
have worked so hard to make the re-
cent show a success. I would say pay
up and forget. Let us go ahead with
unity and kindliness and do all the
better in the future." The Executive
Committee who were unable to attend
sent proxies and the sense of all was
the same, as was so admirably ex-
pressed by Mr. Breitmeyer.

A formal motion was pu( and car-
ried as follows: "That th. Treasurer
of the American Rose Society pay to
the order of the National Flower Show
Committ. • tin- sum of five hundred
and thirty-seven dollars, being tin-
amount called for by tin- .National
Flower Show Committee in full settie-
ment of all premiums due for awards
made at the Spring Exhibition in Bos-
ton, March, 1911." Treasurer H. 0.
May. upon receiving the action of the
meeting drew the cheque for $537, and
forwarded it to Treasurer E. Allan
Peirce of the National Flower Show-
Committee and after this is paid, it
leaves net in the treasury of the
American Rose Society a larger sum
than has been there before at this
time of year.

At the coming convention in Balti-
more, it is planned to have a meeting
of the American Rose Society, to be
as largely attended as possible, on

Thursday. August 17th. and al thai

Exhibition to hi' held in Detroit as to

WESTERN DAHLIA AND GLADI-

in response to a call sent out by a
number of growers, an organization
in ],,■ known as the Western Dahlia
and Gladiolus Association, was formed
in Chicago on August 5th. The object
is to bring the growers together for
profit as well as pleasure, and we
trust will be of use in extending the
popularity of the two flowers. There
at.- two classes of members, active
and assoeiate; the latter are not re-
sponsible for the pushing of the or-
ganization, only so far as membership
lee mirs. but will be given all the
privileges of the association except
oting, and will be helped in even
way possible in growing the flowers.
This pan is intended for the amateur
and we trust to make a success of the
program. It is also planned to issue
a monthly bulletin as soon as arm

can he perfected. Officers are
as follows:

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.
The election of officers at the last
Detroit Florists' Club meeting resulted
as follows; President, Geo. Brown;
vice-president, J. F. Sullivan; secre-
tary, H. Schroeter; treasurer. Robert

Rahaley. Everybody is delighted to
have J. F. Sullivan among the officers
because his enthusiasm and earnest-
ness in club work is much needed at
this time. The annual outing to Bois
Blanc Isle will be held Aug. 29th.

At the meeting of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club of Baltimore, last
night (Aug. 7). there was the largest
attendance of the year. A good num-
ber of new members was added to the
roll. Chas. L. Seybold former superin-
tendent of Carroll Park and F. C.
Bauer returned yesterday from a Eu-
ropean trip of several weeks.

The Retail Florists' Association of
St. Louis meets on Monday night,
August 14th. The great importance of
this meeting should bring out a very
large attendance. The meeting will be
held at S o'clock in the Knights of
Columbus Hall. (Why not hold it in
Baltimoie?— Ed.)

State Vice-President Fred H. Weber
is rounding up quite a large delegation
to represent St. Louis at the conven-
tion next week at Baltimore. He ex-
pects to list a few more at the club
meeting this Thursday afternoon.

The fall flower show by the Hor-
ticultural Society at the Coliseum
next November promises to be a good
one. The same week the Chrysanthe-
mum Society of America meets with
us. O. G. Koenig, secretary of the so-
ciety will be at the Convention to en-
list entries for the show.

MISSOURI'S FRUIT OUTLOOK.

The State Board of Horticulture is in
receipt of special reports from corres-
pondents in all of the counties of the
state which show that the outlook for
a good apple crop is still excellent.
Taking the average condition of the
entire state, the outlook for the apple
crop has declined seven points, the
present estimate being thirty per cent,
of a full crop. The peach situation
remains practically unchanged, the
present estimate being 28.2 per cent.
as against 29.2 per cent, a month ago.
Since a large number of these reports
are based upon seedling peaches, the
estimate will have to be cut in half.
The outlook for grapes is excellent, the
average for the state being seventy-
five to eighty per cent. Blackberries
and similar fruits were almost a fail-
ure except in the southwestern coun-
ties.

There is some complaint of drought
injury but it does not seem to be se-
rious. Unless there are heavy rains
apples will be smaller than usual but
the color and quality will be unusually
good. Fruit has dropped badly where
trees were unsprayed and uncultivated.
There is no rot but scab is prevalent.

Nearly all sections of the state have
lately had rains so that the situation
as regards apples certainly ought not
to grow any worse, and it is believed
that it will materially improve as ad-
ditional moisture in the soil will cause
the fruit to increase in size very rapid-
ly. It now seems that nothing can
prevent an apple crop which will be
fully 200 per cent, greater than was
harvested in the state last year.

€]J All bulbs of quality must
bear a price in proportion
to the skill, time, expense
and risk attending their
cultivation and distribution.
Those bulbs termed dear
arc usually, when justl)
estimated, the cheapest;
they are cultivated with
much less profit than those
usually termed cheap. The
business of supplying bulbs
cheaply and not attending
to that excellence of quality
necessary to eventual suc-
cess, is the most frequent
and certain cause of busi-
ness decadence among bulb
houses throughout the
world. It cost more to pro-
duce ten Giganteum of
superior quality than it does
twenty of common calibre.
Real good Giganteum must
be planted very deep in the
soil and well fertilized and
cultivated. It takes much
longer and costs much more,
but the bulbs are worth all
it costs to those who know-
bulb values. Horseshoe
Brand Giganteum are to-
day the best we know of and
we can recommend them
to the most exacting grow
ers of lily bul bs in the world.
The cost to you is exactly
in proportion to what you
pay for — they arc a-la-carte
Giganteum. Write for
prices- they are the kind
your business requires.

LILIUM HARRISII

(The|Bermuda Easter Lily)

LETi|US] supply your {wants in Lilies this season

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards

both quality and price

n— HE stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is
grown for us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the
true, original stock. In order to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are
not grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the
field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when the previous crop is
grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted no fresh
manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them
in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves
little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are
offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of,
we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or
lower than, the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources.
We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-
grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we
have exceptional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest
bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000

RIMS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-
grown plants that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are
thoroughly well established and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-inch pots ..... $0.50 each

THE WORLDS BEST GYCAS LEAVES

which we displayed at the Great Baltimore Convention again proved our
Leadership in the advancement of the Florist Trade.

OUR WORLD'S BEST CYCAS LEAVES are so NATURAL
that they cannot be distinguished from the FRESH CUT LEAF — NO
PAINT— or VARNISH used, simply "JUST NATURAL" that's all.

We are the SOLE DISTRIBUTORS of the WORLD'S BEST
CYCAS in the UNITED STATES.

Why not write to-day for samples and prices?

These are the Cycas Leaves for The Up-To-The Minute Florists.

L1LIUIVI HARRIS!!

The Bermuda Easter l_ily

LET US supply youi- -vfc^ai-i-fcs in Lilies this season

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
lv deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 350 to the case, $15.00 per case;, full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs! 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs! 100 to the case, $1S.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

F"ERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties. — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni. 6-in. pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 8-in. plants $1.00 to 1.50 each

Cycnoches chlorochilon or Swan's Neck Orchid

•_'61

The genus Cycnoches is perhaps the most interesting
and perplexing of all the Orchid Genera. When buying
plants out of bloom one never knows what he is getting
and (lie appearance of the lii'-i I lowers, whether male or
female. Le always awaited with great interest and a cer-
lain aiiiomit of speculation. The plant figured here was
received last fall from Julius Etoehrs Co., of Rutherford,
N. J., under the name of Cycnoches chlorochilon carry-
ing a raceme of male flowers at the time. A plant of
apparently the same thing is figured in their catalogue
with a raceme of male flowers under that name and on
the foregoing page one with female llowers. On looking
up i he record of the species, however, I find that the
two sexes of C. chlorochilon do not show much diversity
except in the female having a short stout column with
a pair of triangular wings.

There seems to be something wrong somewhere and I
have a suspicion that all the figures represent Cycnoches
maculatum, a good figure of this with both sexes, ap-
peared in the Orchid Review, Vol. XVII, p. 273. The
plant figured here is now producing two more racemes
from the same bulb, but it is too early to say what sex
they will represent, most likely again all male flowers,
for female flowers of this section of Cycnoches are rare-
ly produced under cultivation. Cycnoches maculatum
was described by Lindley in 1810 from plants bearing
male flowers and these have appeared very often since,
but the female flowers of this species were not known,
or at least not recorded, until 1909, or nearly 70 years
after the first male flowers appeared. The diversity in
the two sexes of some of the species is very great and
it is no wonder that plants of the same species are often
sold and grown under different and erroneous names.

CULT I I; I

Cycnoches need a very decided rest after flowering in
a temperature of about •">•"> to r>0 degrees. Very little
water is required after the bulbs have finished and the
flowers faded; just enough to prevent shrivelling until
the new growths appear in late winter or early spring,
when the amount should be gradually increased, being
careful nut to let any water lodge in the new growth
or thej will be very apt to rot off. From this time on
they will also require a warmer temperature and when
in full growth one can't gel it too hot for them, pro-
viding the atmosphere is moist at the same time. When
well rooted and the new psettdo bulb commences to
swell they will enjoy an occasional dip in weak liquid
manure. sa\ <>nee m- twice a week, but it must not be
overdone, lesi t lie roots might decay.

Shade jusl enough during the growing season to pre-
vent scorching of the leaves. After growth is com-
pleted and the leaves commence to turn yellow, give
full sun, plenty of fresh air. and very little water.
Osmunda fibre is the best potting material for them.
Use small receptacles, oreferably common flower pots
or pans, and suspend near the ejass in a warm house
in order to give them the lull benefit of the light and
lieai. Under these conditions they will grow and flower
freely.

flit' BUTTEKFLY OKI It 10

Two species of Oncidium, namely, Oncidium Papilio

and 0. Kramerianum, go by the above name. Both
are nearly allied, the former being, perhaps, the best
of the two, having larger and better colored flowers
produced on longi r and more -lender stems. Both of
them have beautifully mottled leave- and handsome yel-
low flowers which are barred and mottled with chestnut

brown and pro-
duced at intervals
from the very ti

Oncidium K ram-

Baltimore's Week

This is Baltimore's week and right well has she made
use of its privileges and its obligations. And the horti-
cultural interests of our country are advanced and
enriched by the splendid success of this notable event,
the spirit of progress with which it was imbued and the
inspiration generated, in which not only those who were
in attendance but the stay-aways are beneficiaries. As
to those who stayed away, who are in the habit of stay-
ing away from these enthusiastic gatherings, we are
truly sorry for them. There are many who from one
circumstance or another are obliged to be absent, but
there are thousands who ought to support the Society
with their presence and their influence, who can if
they wish, but who do not. Some of you who think you
have no time to waste on such things, who find your
own business demands all your time, who "haven't taken
a vacation in twenty years," might take to heart the ad-
monition in the Philadelphia Telegraph :

"Imagine the good time your widow is going to have
some day on the money you have saved."

Window Boxes

Mr. Editor: — Your editorial in last week's issue of
Horticulture, captioned "Blamed anyway," relating
to window boxes is timely and to the point. In a re-
cent editorial you called attention to the fact that win-
dow boxes are not so popular in Philadelphia as they
used to be. There must be some cause for this and it
is up to the growers of window box plants to find the
cause and apply the remedy. A properly filled and
properly attended window box is decidedly ornamental;
while a poorly filled and cared for box is an eyesore
That the construction of the box or receptacle is "pro-
lific cause of failure" is a point that should be empha-
sized and no florist should allow a box or plant recep-
tacle of any kind to be filled on his establishment unless
it is all right. A case of this kind, with which, fortun-
ately, I had nothing to do, was called to my attention
this season. A large factory in New York had a lot of
window boxes made in its own shop, painted them green
outside (which was all right) and smeared them with
white lead inside (which was wrong). No holes were
made in the bottoms of the boxes. Thousands of suit-
able plants were bought and planted in those boxes by
men who call themselves gardeners. The plants prompt-
ly started to dwindle and die and the dealer who sup-
plied the plants was blamed. They refilled those boxes
using the same soil and with the same result. Again
the dealer is blamed. "Blamed anyway." A failure on
so large a scale as this is sure to be noticed and deter
others from attempting window box decoration. How
the florist can "butt in," seeing those people do all their
own work is more than I can see.

If the editorial referred to was published in the

i ihly magazines or daily papers it would reach a

class who ought to be posted on such things.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists ' Stock

OYCLAM] V

Give your earliest batch of these plants their last shift
now. Plants coming out of -!-ineh pots should have a
6-inch pot and those from a "-inch pot will go into a
5 m< h pot, and so on according to the vigor of the
plants. For a compost use a moderately firm sod that is
fairly well decayed three parts, well rotted cow manure
two parts, leaf-mold one part, and some clean sand to
make the whole porous. See that each pot has a fair
amount of drainage. Continue to treat them with care
so they will not receive any severe check from either
too much water or the want of it. Give the plants a
daily syringing overhead and underneath for this is a
prime requisite. Keep the material on which the pots
stand and the atmosphere moist hy wetting between the
pots as it cools the air and refreshes the plants. Where
you have your cyclamens in frames let them remain
here for another month as the conditions suit them here
better than in a house any earlier. When they are re-
moved to the house see that they have a position as
near the glass as possible, and if each plant is stood on
an inverted pot a better circulation of air will get all
around the plants. Give frequent fumigations so as to
keep them clean.

CARE OF HARDWOODED PLANTS

Don't overlook your azaleas. Just as soon as they be-
gin to crowd one another give them more room. Give
the pots a mulch of rather fresh cow manure for it will
help them greatly in the formation of flower buds and,
later on, the flowers themselves. See that they are well
supplied with water as the neglect of water always does
serious damage. All such plants as ericas, epacris and
genistas should be faithfully attended to right along.
Watering two and three times a day is often necessary
to keep them moist at the roots. It is even advisable
to examine them by taking one or two out of their pots
to ascertain whether they are getting too little or too
much water. Ericas and epacrises must not be suffered
to get too much water at the roots now. If heavy rains
seem likely lay them on their sides. They can remain
outside until the middle of September. To risk them
out later than this is not advisable. Genistas should be
making excellent growth now. Be sure and use the
hose freely on these plants so as not to let red spider
spoil the foliage.

BOUVARDIAS

All strong growths should be pinched back, and all
the weak growth that they made while in small pots
should be cut out, for only the strong growth that comes
from the root should be saved. They should be lifted
the last of this month or the first week in September
and they will take hold of the soil better than at a later
date. They will do well on a bench of five inches of
soil in a house that runs anywhere from 58 to 65 degrees
at night. After they are either benched or potted, spray
them several times a day and keep up a good atmospher-
ic moisture by damping down the walks and walls —
which will keep them from wilting so bad. For the first
eight days some shading will be very favorable to their
well doing. By giving them the proper syringing you
will be able to keep off the attacks of both the red spider

and mealy bug. When the beds or pots get full of roots
tho\ will be grea enefited with manure-water once

or twice a week.

ii \l CUTTINGS

From now until October if we have no cutting frost,

geranii iuttings can be taken. Cuttings taken during

September and later are less liahle to loss from damping
than those thai are inserted from im« up to the tenth
of September, as the coo] nights help to harden up the
wood. Trim your cuttings up well, leaving only the
small leaves on the top of each cutting. To leave more
only means endless trouble later on in picking them off,
as \\\r\ always gel in a decayed condition. All the cut-
tings that arc put in from now until the tenth of
September should give a good cutting during January,
which can be rooted in a gentle heat and grown on.
After the cuttings are put in keep them moderately
moist until they are rooted, when they can be kept much
drier until they are potted off. This treatment causes
them to make a mass of fine fihrous roots. When they
are potted up avoid using any green manure in your
compost. Manure, if used, should be thoroughly de-
cayed, so that it will crumble up very easily. A good
compost is a mixture of three-fourths of new soil to
one-fourth of some very old manure and a 5-inch pot
of fine bone meal to every barrow-load of the above
mixture.

MARGUERITES

The stock plants should by this time have broken
away and made some fine succulent cuttings. So look
over the plants and secure cuttings of from two to three
inches long and strip off a few of the lower leaves with
a good clean cut at the bottom. This is all that is nec-
essary to make a good cutting which will easily root in
any ordinary propagating bench. As soon as these are
rooted they should be potted off and not allowed to make
too long roots before being taken out of the sand, for
they will feel the check less. Use a 2y2 or 3-inch pot
with any good heavy loam, to which an addition of
one-fourth of well-rotted cow manure has been added.
These young plants should have at all times the fullest
light and ventilation in abundance. By keeping these
potted along they will make nice plants in 6 or 7-inch
pots for next Easter.

ROSES

Watering and syringing should be carefully attended to
now. The half-doing of these essentials causes all kinds
of trouble. Syringing improperly done only allows red
spider to get a good foothold. When the nights get
longer and cooler do all your watering and damping
down before three o'clock in the afternoon, for all roses
that have heavy and luxuriant foliage always collect
abundant moisture which leaves the foliage dripping
during the night and is very favorable to black spot.
From now on most nights will call for a little fire heat.
This along with a little ventilation is a very helpful
factor in rose culture. Keep on tying as your plants
may need it, for you can then do syringing better and
it also lets the light and air around each plant. Use
all caution to restrict mildew.

TREASURER— WILLIAM F. KASTING, Buffalo, N. Y.

'I he meeting hall iu the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory, Baltimore, was well
filled when at 2.30 P. II., on Tuesday,
August 15, President Graham of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Balti-
more called the meeting to order and
opened the preliminary proceedings of
the 27th annual S. A. F. Convention by
introducing as the representative of
the state of Maryland, Hon. M. Wins-
low Williams, Secretary of State, who
in most cordial terms voiced the wel-
come of the state to the visitors and
paid a graceful tribute to the ele-
vating influences of the florists' call-
ing. Mr. Graham then introduced
Mayor James H. Preston, who in vig-
orous fashion presented the compli-
ments of the city to her guests, and
told them briefly about Baltimore's
parks, manufactures, harbor and pub-
lic works.

Robert Craig responded for the vis-
itors. He said that florists always feel
at home in Baltimore, and unstinting-
ly praised the always ready hospitality
which characterizes her citizens. Men-
tioning the horticultural history of the
city he paid a high tribute to John
Cook, whose productions in roses had
attained world-wide fame, and ex-
tended on behalf of the society warm
congratulations on the successful
opening of this great event.

Mr. Graham next presented Presi-
dent George Asmus, who after the up-
roarious applause had subsided pro-
ceeded to read his address as follows:

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of the
Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists: —
It is with great pleasure I address
you on this occasion, the twenty-sev-
enth annua] meeting of our society.
Although being the first time this city
has been chosen for a meeting place, it
is not the first time we are guests of
our brethren in Baltimore, for the
memory has been ever dear to us of
that splendid afternoon and evening's
entertainment on Friday, August 18,
1905, when as a fitting climax to an
enjoyable and profitable meeting in the
city of Washington we were welcomed
here in true southern spirit and now
we are here again to partially pay that
debt of gratitude, even as a victorious
army returns from the scene of con-

flict. In the six years that have passed
we have to our credit many victories
won by legislation and arbitration for
the general good of our profession and
those engaged in it. We also have a
much larger sum of money in our
treasury, a greatly increased member-
ship roll and two great successful na-
tional flower shows to look back upon.

The one thing that stands out promi-
nent in connection with the show held
in Boston last March was the bringing
together of the different societies for
the display of their productions and
the opportunity of attending the differ-
ent meetings at one expense of time
and travel. This has been one of my
great desires for a number of years.
The great growth of our business has
necessitated the specializiug of many
of our large growers and with them
it was a case of "Not that I love you
less, Brutus, but that I love Caesar
more," meaning that their greater in-
terests were in one of the special so-
cieties, but we have solved that prob-
lem and never again must we meet
separately. Ours is one cause for the
good of all. Our national shows have
come to stay and to that end we
should organize at once. The shows
should be held once every two years.
It is true that the first shows took a
longer period of preparation, but that
time was used in careful consideration
of premium lists, finances and other
details which gave us the experience
we needed.

The national show should always
be held in the spring. Fall shows are
not new and are covered in nearly all
large cities and in this connection I
wish to state that I am pleased that
many local societies and Florists'
Clubs are following the example of
the national society. Now if we wish
to profit by the experience in past
shows we must always have as men
at the head some of those who have
assisted in previous shows and as
briefly as possible I will outline my
plan for your consideration.

Permanent Show Committee.

I would suggest a permanent Na-
tional Flower Show Committee, say of
six, to be appointed, two for six years,
two for four years and two for two
years and every other year the presi-
dent to appoint the members for the

six-year term. Thus there would al-
ways be on the committee four mem-
bers of at least two shows' experience.
These committeemen should be as
representative as possible of the dif-
ferent societies taking part in the
show. The chairman of this commit-
tee could be elected by the committee
or appointed by the president after
the location of the show had been de-
cided upon, as it would be of great
advantage to have the chairman close
at hand. These exhibitions properly
conducted show but little chance for
loss and therefore I would suggest
that 50 per cent guarantee be assumed
by the society and 5U per cent, as in
the past, by personal subscription.

Trade exhibitions and the selling of
space as inaugurated at Boston proved
wise and should be continued, and the
checking of receipts and disbursements
should be done by our officers, as we
have a system that has always proved
adequate for that purpose and officials
that are paid for that work. The
great good done by such exhibitions
cannot easily be conceived. The stand-
ing it gives the trade and the general
promotion of horticulture is apparent
when the vast throngs that visit the
shows and the newspapers' publicity
given them are considered. There are
no doubt some of you who will differ
with me and say that the shows
should be conducted outside the soci-
ety, but I say no. We have found the
way to cement our different lines into
one general interest. The meetings
and the organization of this society
have made this possible and we must
not take this healthy young child from
the mother organization. Our national
charter was given us, too, for the de-
velopment and advancement of flori-
culture and horticulture in all its
branches and we are coming very
near complying with that in these ex-
hibitions.

The charter, constitution and by-
laws should be printed with the pro-
ceedings every year, and it would be
well to print therewith proposed
amendments to the constitution and
by-laws.

Conventions and Trade Exhibits.

It has been my experience that im-
mediately after the selection of a city
for the convention the coming year,
inquiries are instituted as to what

part of the expense the society will
have to assume, and I think that a
by-law should be passed that would
cover this matter in a general way.
The officers of our society awakened
to the fact a few years ago that our
membership was not developing in pro-
portion to the expense which we in-
curred, and about the same time we
also discovered that one of our
largest assets, the trade exhibition,
was being used as a big joy fund, and
in several instances there was enough
left, although we all had participated
in considerable joy, to fatten the treas-
ury of the local organization.

The necessity of stringent rules
for the proper conducting, the charg-
ing and rating and the responsibility
was apparent, and the rules to manage
and maintain that part of conventions
were adopted, and the results of that
action arc just beginning to be felt.
By referring to the report of the Roch-
ester meeting it will be found that
over $1,500.00 was added to the treas-
ury after paying all expenses. Thus
wlen we accept invitations from cities
that as an inducement give us conces-
sions such as hall rent, etc. free, it is
of great assistance. This beautiful
building has been granted to us by the
Baltimore brethren on behalf of the
business men of the city on those con-
ditions. Then the three principal
things for us to consider in the selec-
tion of the next place of meeting are:
the offering of the hall, the advantage
to our trade exhibitors and the oppor-
tunity for increase in membership.

The society has no financial induce-
ments to offer any city soliciting the
convention. It long has asked that
lavish entertainment be done away
with, as there is always one enjoyment,
greater than any other, that of meet-
ing your fellow in trade and exchang-
ing ideas. The amount of business
we have to do sometimes suffers
by the entertainments. I can see the
day not far distant when the fourth
day on the programme will have to be
devoted to business sessions. Very
often debates and discussions on sub-
jects important to everyone are short-
ened for lack of time, and several of
our important committees have com-
plained, that after a large amount of
work and the preparation of a lengthy
report, that the matter is hastily
rushed through and much that might
be gained by discussions is lost.

I do not wish to be understood as
against all entertainment. There never
need be any fear of that! The danger,
if any, lies in each city trying to outdo
the other.

Convention Shows.

At the convention in Cincinnati two
years ago a resolution was adopted to
hold a cut flower and plant exhibition
in connection with the trade exhibi-
tion. This was attempted at Roches-
ter last summer by the Rochester flo-
rists who, with the aid of exhibits by
trades people, made a creditable show-
ing. I am pleased to note that the
members of the American Gladiolus
Society arc with us as a body, and it
is just such exhibits as this that will
make the exhibitions possible.

The Board of Directors has proposed
as one way to promote the plant and
flower exhibition at the convention, to
allow the local people at certain times
to admit the public at a reasonable ad-
mission, the money thus obtained to
help defray the expense of music, dec-
orations, etc.

Rules 1 and 2, as adopted by the
Executive Board, should I think be
added to our Constitution and By-laws
and are as follows:

1. The society shall control all the
features of the trade exhibition.

2. There shall be appointed annu-
ally at the winter meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Board a superintendent of ex-
hibits and an advisory committee of
three. Said superintendent shall have
general charge of all details of the
annual exhibition. He shall receive
all applications for space and assign
the same in the order in which they
are received by him. He shall furnish
the society, through the secretary
thereof, a list of the exhibitors ami
exhibits by 1.00 P. M. on the day of
opening the convention. He shall also
furnish the secretary with a list of
novelties and new devices submitted
for awards, said list to be for the use
of the judges.

He shall make no expenditure ex-
ceeding $10 in amount without the
consent of the advisory committee. He
shall keep full detailed records of re-
ceipts and expenditures and other mat-
ters of importance relating to the ex-
hibition. Immediately after the close
of the convention he shall make a
complete report, which, after having
been audited and approved by the ad-
visory committee, shall be forwarded
with the records of the exhibition to
the secretary. All money collected by
him shall be forwarded from time to
time, without undue delay, to the sec-
retary. All bills incurred shall be en-
dorsed by him and submitted to the
advisory committee for approval, after
which they shall be sent to the secre-
tary for payment by the treasurer of
the society.

The advisory committee shall act as
an advisory and audit board, subject
to instructions of the Executive Board,
and in case of disagreement between
them and the superintendent their de-
cision shall be final except it be re-
viewed by the Executive Board.

My reason for this is that it has
taken years of work to bring this fea-
ture up to its present standard and a
matter in which the revenue involved
is so large in comparison with the
total amount of dues received, should
be under the control of the society-
proper. The details should be left as
they now are. in the control of the
Board, as minor changes are very
often necessary.

Membership.
This is one of the great problems
that confronts us, and in proportion
to the growth of all branches of our
business, it suffers by comparison.
Reasons and theories have been ad-
vanced but when the benefits derived
are considered it seems incredible.
True, we are slowly and steadily grow-
ing. Our secretary's report will show
that we made a fine gain during the
national show at Boston, and the re-
sults of recent efforts with which you
are familiar through the literature re-
ceived will also be given you, but
when our tariff and legislation com-
mittees go before bodies of whom we
are asking our rights, they immedi-
ately want to know who we are, and
whom we represent, and our member-
ship of only eleven hundred does not
signify that we are as strong as we
should be to obtain proper recognition.
By carefully examining the secretary's
reports we find that our gains in mem-

bership are almost entirely at conven-
tions or national flower shows and in
some cities where we had reason to
i the largest increase we were
disappointed, and for the reason, we
have discovered, that the open hand of
hospitality was so far reaching. The
craft in general has been invited, re-
gardless of their being attached to any
organization. Just so long as they were
florists they were feted and treated,
and went away happy but forgot the
magnitude of hospitality offered them
through the members of the society
and the society itself.

We have been so liberal that we
thought it would be terrible if, when
a florist came to the outer doors of
ili' tabernacle and asked for admis-
sion, we would a.sk him if he was a
member, but does not the work of you
gentlemen for the past 26 years in
their interests demand support? Aye,
and so for several years past we have
asked that in consideration for his
membership we shall pin upon his
bosom the highest token of honor, the
leaf and emblem of our national or-
ganization, which grants the right to
our festive occasions and business
meetings. Not to be severe with those
that are paying for space in our trade
exhibitions we have granted them the
privilege, by personal recognition, of
bringing into the building our broth-
ers in the trade, and we have always
hoped and trusted that before they re-
tired they would join in our ranks —
this has helped us gain some members
and it will continue to do so just as
long as we adhere to this policy.

A natural increase in membership
also comes from the convention being
held in new localities where the so-
ciety has not held its meetings for
several years, and in the selection for
the place for the next meeting, this
should be given due consideration.

The Elections.
I am now going to voice the senti-
ments expressed by several of my
predecessors and say that the presi-
dent of our society ought to have had
experience on the Executive Board to
make him better fitted for the office.
I am also in favor of the election of
the Hoard of Directors by the society.
I think that the selection of the men
to perform the important work of the
Board would be better left to the dis-
cretion of a number of men rather
than to the several presidents. On the
contrary with the offices of secretary
and treasurer, their work has to be
scrutinized by the Board, who are also
the instigators of a large proportion
of their work. If perchance the offices
were not satisfactorily filled, and sat-
isfactorily means judiciously, prompt-
ly, correctly and obediently, there is
no immediate redemption. Their
official capacity is better known to'
the Board to whom are entrusted the
welfare of the society and the greater
proportion of our serious questions,
therefore why not this?

Trade Exhibits and Officers.
In conducting the trade exhibit it
has been the custom to hire a superin-
tendent and as a recompense allow
him 10 per cent of the gross amount
derived from the rentals of space,
which for several years past have
amounted to from $225.00 to $250.00,
and on several occasions an additional
$50.00 has been allowed as expense out-
side of the ordinary requirements.

HORTICULTURE

August 19, 1911

There have always heen a number of
other Items such as tenographer,
bookkeeper and miscellaneous ex-
penses, which approximately, from the
ts ot the last several years,
amount to bet* 00 and $000.00.

Bach year the office accounts and
ds are I. en ntly and I

ie w hen any of the inci-
dentals connected with this office were
toi anol her year, which all
means some outlay. Now we are all
nearly agreed that the secretary's
salary is hardly enough to recompense
a man such as is necessary to proper-
Ij perform the Important duties con-
nected with this office for his entire
time. Our membership is not increas-
ing rapidlj i nough to increase this
salary. Now then the same conditions
exist concerning the office of super-
intendent of trade exhibits. We can
not employ one for long enough a
id at the amount usually earned,
for he must have other employment at
ami time and perhaps that some-
thing else in liis own business or his
employer's; tin: 'ion- we have two im-
portant positions partially, when we
could have them wholly filled, at a
reasonable increase.

Now, why not combine the duties of
the two; they both are clerical in
their way, and both at a certain time
need the undivided attention of one
man ? The duties of the superintend-
ent of trade exhibit are mostly corre-
spondence, except for a short period
before the exhibition and then the sec-
retary should be giving his undivided
time for the good of our organization
and should be in the city where the
convention is to be held, assisting, as
a paid official, the many willing volun-
teers who are giving their time, with-
out recompense, toward preparing for
the grand welcomes that have greeted
us in the past and in this city at this
time. This is my solution of obtain-
ing that for which we have been striv-
ing, the undivided time of a secretary
and superintendent of trade exhibits.

It can easily be seen that both offi-
ces can be combined and the duties be
competently and judiciously per-
formed. The secretary has all the ad-
vantage of his office to secure new
business, and the combining of the two
offices does not entail any more ex-
pense than we have been under dur-
ing the past two or three years, but it
as hitter results. The amount of
salary I have in view at the present
time is $1500 per year and if the work
increases as it should under proper
supervision, our income will increase,
and the time is not far distant when
$2000 a year should be our secretary's
salary. He would be the proper man
for secretary of the national flower
shows, — his statistics and experience
would make him the natural choice —
his salary and the duties of his office
ought to make his presence a necessity
on such occasions.

Separate Section Meetings.
The adoption of this suggestion of
President Valentine was one of the
good things that cannot be praised too
highly, and is conducive to great good
both to the different societies as well
i our own. Buildings such as this
in which we are meeting are particu-
larly adapted, with the different regi-
mental rooms available. I have al-
ways been a believer in the necessity
of these societies and of their being
able to better carry out their specific

work than can be done in our general
meetings, They do not conflict, but
assist, and every organization pertain-
ing to horticulture, whether a Florists'
Club, Horticultural Society, Garden-
association or any other specific
i. formed to promote its
nun Interests, and at the same time
the Interests of horticulture, should
have the encouragement and Buppori
hi our society, Perhaps some plan
could be developed whereby each one
of these organizations, when they
could ShCW a certain number of their
membership In our Society, would be
entitled to a representation on our
Board of Directors. This would help
our Board representative of all

i sts and be an inducement for

them to get their members into the
National organization, thus materially
increasing our membership.

The Outlook.

The last year has, been one upon
which we can look back with much
satisfaction, for while business in a
great many other lines has not been
up to standard and a great feeling of
unrest has prevailed among some of
them, we, generally speaking, have no
complaint and the outlook for a con-
tinuance is most promising. There
have been fears of over-production
among the conservative, but this has
not developed, and these fears must
have passed away, judging from the
large number of buildings being
erected or contracted for at present.
Some of the building concerns say
that this year promises to he the
heaviest in their history.

In conclusion I wish to state that I
have refrained from touching on many
subjects of importance to the Society,
but they are in the hands of carefully
selected committees, whose familiarity
with their work will give to you far
better recommendations than I could,
and their reports will be presented in
due time at this convention.

SECRETARY'S REPORT.

Secretary II. B. Dorner then read
his report as follows:

I have the pleasure of presenting
today the secretary's report for the
27th annual convention of this, one
of the finest national organizations in
the country. It has been a pleasure
to follow the work of the organization
for the year. While the Society has
not made the progress that was really
possible, there are things that will
help to make us more proud of our
organization.

The National Flower Show.

Perhaps the most important event
of the year has been the National
Flower Show. All who were there
will agree that, it was the finest
flower show ever held in this country.
Many of the exhibitions were beyond
expectation and all were worthy of
the trip to see them. A full report
will he given later by the committee
through whose efforts such a show-
was made possible.

Condition of the Finances.

The finances of the Society are
gradually improving. The permanent
or Life Membership fund has been in-
creased since the last convention by
the sum of $1,261.65. This amount
was derived from the fees taken for
Life Memberships and interests ac-

cruing during the year. The fund has
now reached the sum of $9,700.15. Of
this amount $7,500.00 is invested in
the form of two loans secured by
mortgages on properties located at
Fort Wayne, Indiana. These securi-
ties bear interest at 5 per cent.

Membership.

The membership has also been
steadily increasing. At the end of
1909 the membership of the Society
was 995. At the end of 1910 this was
raised to 107:: with the prospects that
it will be much increased during the
present year. The paid-up member-
ship up to August 10th is 1055, or
just 18 less than at the end of 1910.
175 of the members on last year's
roll have as yet failed to pay their
dues but a number will do so before
the year is over.

New Members.

One hundred and fifty seven new
members have already been taken in
during the year. This is more than
twice the number that were added up
to the same date last year. At the
suggestion of the President letters
were sent out to all the members
making an appeal for increased
membership. The appeal was in the
form of a request that each member
make an attempt to secure at least
one new member. The names of all
members sending in applications are
to be included in the printed report.
Up to date 19 of the numbered appli-
cation blanks, which were sent out
with the letters, have been returned.
The following members sent in one
or more applications: —

E. A. Peirce 12

Morris Goldensnn 3

S. Wallace Tilton 1

Peter Flanagan 1

The following vice-presidents were
also active and have sent in many new
names:

Conn. — W. R. Plerson 4

Iowa — Jas. S. Wilson 1

Mass. (Bast)— W. A. Hastings 14

Mass. (West)— G. H. Sinclair 1

Mo.— Fred II. Weber 6

Penn. (East)— S. S. Skidelsky 1

Rhode Island— E. J. Renter 2

Wis, -J. E. Mathewson 2

Alberta, Canada— A. M. Terrill 1

Few realize that by a little con-
certed effort on the part of the mem-
bers, the membership can easily be
doubled. It is to be hoped that the
method suggested by Pres. Asmus
will be continued from year to year
and that the members will make a
greater effort to aid the Society In
this manner.

Life Members.

Of the new members added to our
roll, five have come in as life mem-
bers. In addition to these, 15 old
members have also become life mem-
bers, making a total of 20 for the
current year. This now gives the
Society 272 life members.

Transportation.

As usual, application for rates was
made of all the passenger associa-
I'liis was granted by the
Trunk Line Association and infused
remainder. The Canadian
the South-eastern, the Western and
the South-western Associations re-
ins. .1 to granl rates owing to the
small number attending from those
districts. The Centra] Association
i thai II has ceased to grant
rates unless an attendance of 1000

be guarant I. Owing to the reduced

fares in many of the states it is be-
ng inure difficult each year to
secure rates.

Trade Exhibition.

The trade exhibition of 1010 was
by far the most successful ever held.
Superintendent Vick and his associ-
ates at Rochester should be com-
mended for the able manner in which
the exhibition was handled. The
total receipts for the sale of space
were $2,460.43. The total expendi-
tures were $944.52 leaving a net
profit of $1,515.91. Several changes
were made, this year, in the rules
governing the exhibition and it Is
hoped that they will do much to im-
prove our exhibitions. It is hoped
that the present exhibition will ex-
cell that of the past year as It did
that of any previous year.

Entomologist and Pathologist.

The attention of the members
should be called to the excellent re-
ports given last year by the Ento-
mologist and Pathologist and which
are printed in the Proceedings for
1910. Reports, such as these, can
only be prepared by the expenditure
of much labor and money.

Thirty-two plants have registered

Trade Press.

The members of the trade press
continue to give the Society their
cordial support. They have always
been ready to print all notices and
items sent to them by the Secretary.
The thanks of the Society Is also
due them for the complimentary
copies of their publication sent for
the use of the Secretary.

Secretaryship.
Before closing this report a word
or two should be said regarding the
Secretary's office. The work of the
office is getting heavier each year
and has now reached the point where
the entire time of the Secretary
should be devoted to the interests of
Society. Experience of the past
two years has shown that the work
cannot be efficiently done by anyone
who has other duties to perform.
Where such is the case it is the
Society's and not the man's business
that suffers. The Secretary should

affairs during the lasl session and
favored the adoption of a parcels posl
as approved by the society on three
different occasions. W. F. {Casting
urged, in following Mr. Gude, that
every member make a personal ap
to his congressman for action on this
matter. A special vote ol thanks was
accorded Mr. Gude.

Chas. Lenker added a few words on
the parcels post topic, explaining the
system in use in Germany.

THE PRESIDENT'S RECEPTION.

This always popular feature was
carried out in splendid shape at the
Hotel Belvedere on Tuesday evening,
and for over an hour the procession
moved past the receiving party, shak-
ing the hand of President Asmus and
the assisting ladies and gentlemen.
The sad news of the sudden death of
John Birnie. of which detailed notice
appears in another column, cast a
damper on the enjoyment of this
unique social gathering and very little
dancing was indulged in. but the af-
fair was in all other respects a joyous
and successful one. President Vim -nt
and his associates of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club of Baltimore being
indefatigable in their efforts to make
everybody comfortable and happy.

WEDNESDAY MORNING'S SESSION.

Wednesday morning's session opened
late but developed finally into one of
the liveliest sessions ol recent years
John G. Esler read his report as chair-
man of tariff committee.
Mr. President and Members:

The attention of your committee was
called to the importance of reciprocal
exchange of floral products between
the United States and Canada. An at-
tempt on the part of your chairman to
obtain the opinion of not only the
committee but of others who were
likely to be vitally interested, brought
out such a diversity of opinion that a
recommendation was made to the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the S. A. F. and
O. H. to have the subject discussed
from both sides of the boundary line
at this convention. This was acted
upon by the Executive Committee and
it is the hope of the Tariff and Legis-
lative Committee that after .Mr. Miep-
sted and Mr. Welch have given their
views on the subji Matter will

be thoroughly discussed and your com-
mittee fully instructed as to future
procedure in the matter.

In order to intelligently view this
subject we herewith give the American
dutv on floral imports, the Canadian
dutv and the concessions the Canadian

Horticultural Association was willing
to ma

Pi iducts.

Your Chairman made a suggestion
to the Canadian Horticultural Associ-
ation that they further discuss the
subject this year, and if possible, noti-
fy us of a minimum rate that they
would be willing to accept. Mr. Mep-
sted, in his address, will no doubt fur-
nish this information. Your committee
would suggest that if both societies
could agree upon the same rate, it
would undoubtedly make it easier
work for both Committees to secure
what was mutually desired.

Another important subject is House
Bill No. S611 and Senate Bill No. 2870,
both giving the Secretary of Agricul-
ture large and possible dangerous
discretionary power over the impor-
tation of nursery stock and some kinds
of floral products. The nurserymen
ask our co-operation in their effort to
have the bill amended, so as to have
the discretionary power placed with-
in reasonable bounds. Your commit-
tee again asks that you give this mat-
ter earnest, not slip-shod, attention and
that you give specific instruction as
to your wishes. The bills in question
are herewith appended, marked ex-
hibit B. & C.

A complaint concerning the dilatory
delivery of cut flowers by the U. S.
Express Co., has been taken up with
the company. This complaint is
brought about as the result of the re-
cent strike and its solution has not
progressed far enough to make a defi-
nite report. The labor trust seems
tci be master of the situation. Your
chairman promises to carry it to its
ultimate conclusion even if it leads to
tlie Interstate Commerce Commission.
Another complaint concerning the
routing of goods was taken up with
the express companies and an admis-
sion that their officials were in error
was secured. Directions were given
press company how to secure
proper service- in the future.

Your committee would also suggest
i hat any information concerning the
cost of production, at home or abroad,
lass (ir any other product, entering
into the construction of greenhou
tablishments, will be gladly ac
and filed for use whenever the
time arrives to make the information
effective

The opinion of your committee is
divided as to the advisability of ap-

pearing before the Interstate Com-
Commission againsl express

companies, some contending that in-
asmuch as concessions have been
made in favor of flowering plants and
generally satisfactory service rendered
it would not be advisable to make our-
selves too prominent in the matter.
My own opinion is that we should
have the evidence to make a good
case before we carry a grievance to the
Commission, and that in all cases, it
might be well to first endeavor to rec-
tify the matter complained of by ap-
plication to the companies themselves.
Respectfully submitted.
John G. Esler, Chairman; J. C.
Vaughan, J. Otto Thilow, Frank
Traendly, P. Welch, E. G. Hill.

P. Welch then opened the discussion
on Canadian reciprocity in floral pro-
ducts from the American standpoint,
and E. I. Mepsted's paper from the Ca-
nadian standpoint was read by Mr.
Robinson of Montreal in the author's
absence. Both gentlemen agreed that
lloral reciprocity would be a distinct
advantage to the trade on both sides
of the line. Mr. Mepsted ably handled
the objections of such of his country-
men as held opposing views and ad-
mitted that the Canadian retail trade
is growing much more rapidly than
the wholesale production and that re-
lief from heavy duty on flowers and
plants is greatly needed. A lively dis-
cussion followed in which Messrs.
Hammond and Frank Pierson spoke in
similar vein and a motion was unani-
mously adopted that the best interests
of the trade here would be subserved
by reciprocal relations with Canada.

\V. F. Kasting then took the floor
in advocacy of a spring meeting in
place of the summer convention, com-
iiining with the rose, carnation and
other auxiliary societies all of which
would be of great advantage to the
trade especially in connection with the
national flower show .

Mr. Rudd approved with great ear-
nestness, as did also Wallace R. Pier-
son, E. G. Hill, John Westcott, A.
uwald and others. Mr. Fulmer
was opposed.

of f e National Flower Show Com-
mit t ee :

Report of National Flower Show Com-
mittee.

The second National Flower show
opened its doors to the public in
Mechanics' Building, Boston. Match
1911, continuing until Sunday,
April 2d. rhe formal opening took
place on the evening of March L'".th,
on which occasion we were honored by
the presence of Governor Foss of
Massachusetts. Mayor Fitzgerald of
Boston, Congressman Samuel McCall
and others, who addressed the large
and distinguished audience gathered in
Paul Revere Hall, contributing greatly
to the interest and eclat of the open-
ing of the exhibition. The weather
was unseasonably cold at the time of
the opening, but in spite of this draw-
back. I think I can modestly say that
no previous exhibition ever hold in
this country approached this one in
its scope and magnificence. The large
attendance of the trade from all over
the country, a! a busy season of the
vea. and especially the large local at-
tendance, was most gratifying.

You are all aware of the success of
this show from a horticultural stand-
point, and I am Bure you will be
pleased to Know that it was not only
a horticultural success, but a financial

s as well. The number of paid
admission- 38,915 amounted to $18,-
At the first national flower
show the numb aid admissions

was 29,790, amounting to $17,7!
This by way o although

at the first show 7.". rents was eh

idmission, while at Boston 50
cents was considered the highest fee
it was prat ticable to charge, on ac-
count of the fact thai I ichu-

BettS Horticultural Society had bet n

in the habit of glvll iingly fine

shows practically free Tht amount
distributed for cash prizes was
10; at Chics 17.00 was

paid out for premiums The total
receipts, including the amount re-
irantors. was
17 87, for which amount, after de-
ducting all expenses and refunding to
the guarantors the amount paid by
them, there was left a gross profit of
$3,655.46.

We were most fortunate in securing
the services of Chester I. Campbell as
manager, who because of his experi-

ence In ear iving on large exhibii
particular!] in Boston, was able to
effect many eco nles which other-
wise would have been Impossible, and
who was a great aid to the efficient
work oi the committee. Mr. Campbell,

ding to the arrangement i
with Mint, was to receive, in lieu of
salary and office expenses In the pre-
liminary wort ol organization, secur-
ing the trade exhibits, etc., a percent-
age from the rental ol Boor Bpace, and,
in addition, one-third of the gross

profits, If any. in view of t be um
taint > as to whether this show could
be made b financial success, this was

considered a ver\ safe, conservative
and advantageous arrangement, as it
obviated incurring any large fixed
charges, and practically made Mr.
Campbell a partner in the enterprise.
After paying Mr. Campbell one-third
of the gross profits, according to the
agreement, and returning to the guar-
antors a ten per cent, dividend, there
was a net profit of $1,450.97 remaining
for the Society of American Florists
and Ornamental Horticulturists.

The preliminary work of organiza-
tion was mapped out by representa-
tives from the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society, the Cardeners' and
Florists' Club, and the two Boston cut
flower markets, in connection with the
National Flower Show Committee. After
the preliminary work of organization
was in hand, on account of the im-
mense amount of work involved in
the work preparatory to so large an
undertaking, and the fact that the
meinhei ,,f the National Flower Show
Committee were so widely separated,
it was deemed wise to entrust the de-
tail work to a small local executive
committee, Accordingly, such com-
ic it -ee was appointed, styled the Board
of Control, consisting of John K. M. It.
Farquhar, Thomas Roland, Patrick
Welch, and K. Allan Peine, with my-
self as chairman.

No one who has not had experience
can realize the amount of work neces-
sary to execute an undertaking of this
magnitude; and I take this occasion
to express my appreciation of the
splendid services rendered by the gen-
tlemen named, to whom, because of
their indefatigable labor in connection
with the show, from tin \c v begin-
ning to the end no little credit is due
for the sin. .ss of the exhibition. I
shall long remember my pleasant as-
sociation with them In carrying on the
work, which was absolutely harmoni-
ous throughout. I wish also to state
that the services of the Board of Con-
trol and of tin National Flower Show
Committee were given entirely gratuit-
ously No one received any remunera-
tion in the way of salary, and each one
paid his own traveling expenses, hotel
hills, and all other expenses.
One of the most pleasing features of
how was the hearty co-operation
of the various horticultural societies;
and it was largely due to their co-
• t ion that the show was the sue-
that it proved to be. We had the
united support of the American Car-
clety, the American Rose So-
ciety, the National Sweet Pea So.
the National Qladiolus the

in of Gardeners, the
tchusetts Horticultural Society.
the Massachusetts State Board of Agri-
culture, the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club of Boston and other allied horti-
cultural interests in the vicinity of
"in.

in preparing the premium lists, the
lion Society, the Rose Sot

the Sweet pea Society and the Na-
tional Association ol Gardeners

to prepare their own schedules.
The .are and thought with which these
— as I the general schedule —

the fact that over eighty percent, of
the premiums i

I to harmony and good-fellow-
ship it was .ing out to a
lognai sequence the Idea of home rule.
ii proved In a practical, logical way
thai it is not impossible to have ail
the auxiliary societies united In one
harmonious whole; and I think that
tic getting togethei of the different
. s in making one grand show-
lias demonstrated the fact that in hor-
ticultural, as well as other matters,
"In union there is strength."

Undoubtedly, it is impracticable to
repeat these flower shows annually. A
wort of this magnitude involves so
much labor and expense that a na-
tional Bower show should probably be
held not oftener than once in three
years, and in different parts of the
country, alternating between eastern
and western cities There is no doubt
but the educational benefits derived
from these shows are great. The at-
tendance at Chicago and at Boston
pub] is interested in
horticulture. Our summer conven-
tion-; do not meet this need; they are
mote particularly intended to carry
on the work of the society and to
promote its social and immediate
business interests; whereas, a na-
tional flower show, held in the spring,
and once in about every three years,
can be made of particular interest to
the general public and a great educa-
tional factor in horticulture.

I am glad that the success of this
second National Flower Show has
nstrated to the Rose Society and
the Carnation Society the advantages
to be derived from a combined ex-
hibition. The success of the Boston
Spring Show has resulted in the Rose
and Carnation Societies getting to-
gether to hold their oext annual show
in Dein.it, and we hope that this work.
so well begun will be carried forward
along ' .- .- lines, as we believe it is a
in i he right direction.

A very pleasing feature of the ex-
lil.ii ion i must not omit to mention —
was the presence of our English
friends, who made it a point to time
their visit at the time lower

Show, contributing much to the pleas-
ure oi islon.

We w ish to acknowledge our in-
debtednes to the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club and to the ladies of
n for the cordiality of the hos-
pitality extended by them. The trade
exhibit was exceedingly large and
irehensive, and added no small
part to the success of the general re-
sult, and the committee believes that
those i. found themselves

ampl> repaid for the expense and
labor Involved. In addition to the
cash prizes awarded, there was a large
number of silver cups donated by
many generous friends: also a number
of S. A F. and O. H. medals and cer-
I merit. Resides these, the
Massachusetts Horticultural So.

TWO FINE GLADIOLUS NOVEL-
TIES.

We have had the pleasure of test-
ing out the qualities of Frank Ban-
ning'* two gladiolus novelties, Niag-
ara and Panama. Niagara is a won-
illy lustrous white and canary
Mower, round as a lily, with a bit of
I, ink touching in the throat. It is a
good traveller and the Boston trade
like it. Panama is said to be a seed-
ling from America. It has much of
the character of its illustrious parent
but the color is clearer, more of the
pure, pleasing pink and less of the ma-
genta tint.

The Lenox (Mass.) Horticultural So-
ciety has voted to omit its show of
annual and perennial flowers this year
on account of the unfavorable season.

HORTICULTURE

August 19. 1911

REPORT ON SCHOOL GARDENING
BY THE S. A. F. COMMITTEE.

At Hi" Annual Convention of the
Society of American Florists held in
ill.' city of Washington, August 18th,
1892, Ilia! is nineteen years ago, Mr.
Robert Farquhar of Boston read a
paper on "Floriculture for Children,"
as a means of increasing and diffusing
a knowledge of flowers. He stated, at
that time. "I think the members of
ibis societ\ should make a united ef-
fort to have the claims of Floriculture
and all kindred subjects for children
recognized in all public schools. I feel
sure that a large majority of the
teachers would give their hearty sup-
port to wisely planned efforts in this
direction." A broader or better sug-
gestion is seldom made than was this.
Since that time, the School Garden
idea has become national. Last year
your committee made an exhaustive
examination as to what was being
done in this direction in the various
states of the American Union, and
made a report in some detail.

When the committee was reappoint-
ed, the work of School Gardening was
known to be so extensive that just
what the committee could accomplish
was not clear, but a special suggestive
circular was issued and sent far and
wide over the country and the various
responses that came back would be, in
volume, beyond limit to reproduce.

As a sample of what this important
work is accomplishing we may give a
few examples. First, the greatest at-
tention and the most extensive adver-
tising of the movement is being done
in the large cities, but in the smaller
towns comparatively little is being
done. Various states are giving pre-
eminence to instruction in Primary
Agricultural knowledge, notably New
York state, who now requires of each
of the School Commissioners to be able
to pass an examination which covers
a fundamental knowledge of Agri-
culture.

In New Jersey, particularly in the
region of Orange, the work of develop-
ing the instinct of cultivation is car-
ried on most admirably. In that sub-
urban district to the city of New York,
the neatness and beauty attached to so
many homes is such that it may be ac-
cepted as a model for many another
district of the same general character.
At Hastings. Mich., a little town of
about 3500 people, much interest is
taken in this work, many waste places
having been made beautiful and at-
tractive, and many a home has been
improved by the work done there.
Last year one little girl raised 160
heads of cabbage from a package of
seeds costing a penny. In Worcester,
Mass.. great work has been done along
this line, and William D. Ross, the
seedsman of that city, was one of the
pioneers in starting School Gardens,
and for several years gave away seeds
absolutely free, and this started a
movement that has borne rich results.

At Lancaster, Pa., the florists there
deserve much credit for helping along
the movement. Twenty thousand shade
trees were recently given out to the
school children and most of them
wese planted. Such work as this is
what makes the city beautiful. At
Amherst, Mass., a novel illustration
of object teaching was done by Dr.
Beales, Prof. Emeritus of the Michi-
gan Agricultural College, who started
as a part of the School Garden a weed
garden patch, so that the children

could learn to distinguish destructive
ami and' sirable vegetation. In Buffalo,
our friend. Prof. Cowell, has in many
a way urged and helped along the
work. Buffalo is a city where so many
people enjoy a bit of ground with their
homes that the work there has telling
effect, and the Superintendent of Pub-
lic Schools, writing to Mr. Kasting,
recently said: "I wish to assure you
of my interest in the matter and my
desire to confer further with you rela-
tive to its advancement." In a
crowded city like New York window
boxes play a most important part of
instruction. Cedar Rapids, that thrifty
city of Iowa, is where the necessity
for systematic training in School Gar-
den work is not yet fully appreciated,
although our friends. Messrs. I. N.
Kramer & Son, florists, have done
their best to start up the work. Cleve-
land has probably done more system-
atic work in teaching children garden-
ing than any other place, and the
Home Garden Association of that city,
because of its untiring work gives a
constant impetus, for from "School
Gardening" it is only a step to "Home
Gardening" and this is the achieve-
ment to be desired:

"To make the waste places of the
city beautiful and useful.

"To give knowledge of gardening
for pleasure and profit.

"To train city children in the culti-
vation of the soil.

"To draw attention to the import-
ance of work on the land."

In all this work how far it is best
to go in providing tools and all seeds
free is a question. It is doubtful if
you cannot go too far in public dis-
tribution of seeds. The idea that the
government is going to furnish every-
thing is not a wise course to develop
true independence of character.

The United States Government has
given attention to this study, and the
Bulletins that have been issued, par-
ticularly one by Mr. L. C. Corbett,
Horticulturist of the Bureau of Plant
Industry- is one of great value to a
teacher, because children usually are
not originators: they are followers,
and the teacher must know, to be suc-
cessful, how to be able to do things,
and this Bulletin, the "School Gar-
den," is particularly well fitted for
that purpose. Miss Susan C. Sipe, who
delivered before the convention of
the S. A. F. when held in Washington
an interesting talk upon this subject,
has prepared a descriptive pamphlet
which is issued by the Office of Ex-
periment Stations in Washington,
upon School Gardening and Nature
Study in English Schools, with illus-
trations, and surely it would seem that
England is the land of the "Home
Garden." Our friend. Dick J. Crosby
of the Agricultural Department, has
also sent out a Bulletin known as
"Farmers' Bulletin 40S." There is not
a rural school teacher, but what may
read that Bulletin to the utmost ad-
vantage. Prof. Galloway, Chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, lends a
hand upon School Gardens in general,
and in his excellent pamphlet issued
in 1905. entitled "School Gardens."
s the ways of getting at this
work that is exceedingly instructive.

In the city of Poughkeepsie. N. Y..
Principal William L. Wildy says: "I
am directing the work for the Pough-
keepsie Garden School in Eastman's
Park. We have 200 children making
gardens there now. This is the third
year for the garden. I am also direct-

ing the work for the School Garden
Association of New York City. We
have under way five gardens in con-
nection with the public schools. They
are known as "Model Gardens." With
these five gardens we have about 200
children interested in the work. I find
them very good workers and expect to
have very good gardens there."

At Fishkill-on-Hudson, N. Y., the
academic pupils mapped out and
named the trees and shrubs growing
upon the grounds to the number of 94,
as the result of the botanical work and
instruction which they received in the
school, and in this same school dis-
trict the present year there are HI
children, ranging from S years to 17,
who are members of the "Home Gar-
den Brigade." This work wherever it
is carried on results in improving the
streets.

In Springfield, Ohio, we find that
Christian Binnig and John M. Good,
representing the Springfield Florists'
Club, presented to the members of the
Board of Education a plan to beautify
the yards around the public school
buildings and they took hold of the
work there with mnch earnestness.
Here is a point that we wish to dwell
upon. There is listed in the Florists'
Directory as many as 6000 florists
scattered through the United States,
aside from the nurserymen. The work
that is possible to be done by these
men in each of their towns is very
considerable and in any effort for pub-
lic improvement it never rests simply
with the man who has large means,
but local florists can do just as these
people at Springfield have done, make
the suggestion to their local Board of
Trustees, and very few but what would
see beneficial results from their efforts.

This work is now almost world wide
among the leading people. In Ceylon,
the Royal Botanical Gardens in their
reports state: "The School Garden in-
troduced into Ceylon about ten years
ago has come to stay. Every year
more and more schools are taking up
this line of work and there are not
wanting indications that before long
most schools will have School Gardens
attached to them." In Austria over
v000 gardens are cultivated in connec-
tion with the Austrian schools, the
pupils receiving there expert tuition
in Horticulture.

In Scotland, the prize garden is said
to be at Drumwhindie, and the finest
in Great Britain. The garden measures
one-quarter of an acre, and is en-
closed on two sides by the school play
grounds. At the two corners of the
garden are neatly constructed rooker-
ies. In the first border ail the plants
growing therein were prominently
named by signs of white letters on a
piece of grain stained wood. Around
the walls were roses, apples, plums
and cherries. The work in this gar-
den was confined chiefly to the pupils
over twelve years of age. This garden
is so well kept up that it is almost a
museum of itself, but the work is
done by the children.

To show the extent of this School
Garden work in further detail would
be tiresome for the work goes on
throughout the United States, but
enough has been said to illustrate the
importance given to this subject from
a practical economic view.

The feature of the year was a gigantic
hailstorm which was destructive from Web-
ster Grove, Mo., to Edwardsville, III., and
which damaged greenhouse structures over
a space of three miles wide by forty miles
long.

Baltimore. Md., and Staunton, Va., were
also visited by storms of exceptional sever-
ity.

Notwithstanding the levy of two Assess-
ments during the past year the increase in
amount of glass Insured is about 1,000,000
sq. ft. over last year's report.

JOHN G. ESLER, Secretary.

& Co., Chicago, and H. Rowoldt, of
Kyle & Foerster, Chicago, were vis-
itors last week, the former on a busi-
ness trip and the latter on his way
south for a vacation.

The Apple Growers will meet in St.
Louis this month, 22-23. At a meet-
ing of the executive board which met
last week at the Planters Hotel, a
program which will be quite interest-
ing was mapped out.

The new building being erected for
C. C. Sanders at 623 Clara avenue,
was nearly completed when it col-
lapsed on Wednesday and killed a
workman. Mr. Sanders says the loss
will fall on the contractor, but it will
put them back two months.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

ST. LOUIS FLORIST CLUB.

The St. Louis Florist Club held an
interesting meeting on Thursday af-
ternoon last week, this being the
meeting when the yearly election of
officers takes place. The attendance
was not as good as expected for this
occasion. The president not being
present, Vice-President Frank Weber
filled the chair.

The election of officers for the en-
suing year being in order, there was
only one nominee for president, Rob-
ert J. Windier, and his election was
made unanimous; for vice-president
there were two candidates, F. Venne-
rnann and C. E. DeWeber. Mr. Ven-
nemann was elected on the first bal-
lot. For the offices of secretary and
treasurer Messrs. Beneke and Smith
had no opposition and were the unani-
mous choice of the members. J. F.
Ammann and F. A. Weber were the
candidates for a three term trustee,
and after several ballots Mr. Weber
was elected. For the one year term
\V. C. Young and C. C. Sanders were
the candidates and W. C. Young was
elected. The above set of officers
should prove a hustling crew and
pilot the good ship through a success-
ful year.

A communication was read from
the Chicago Florists' Club inviting
the club members to meet with them
on Thursday, October 5th, which was
accepted and quite a few expressed
themselves as wishing to make the
nip. State Vice-President Weber of

the S. A. F., made a neat talk telling
the members all about the Baltimore
trip. The trustees were given a vote
of thanks for the successful outing
they gave the members last month.
The meeting then adjourned.

CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB.

As usual this summer the attendance
was good and two visitors C. C. Poll-
worth of Milwaukee and C. De Weber
of St. Louis were present and the for-
mer elected to membership, regular
rules being suspended for that pur-
pose.

Report of the picnic committee was
made by its chairman A. Zeck. Fifty
dollars was appropriated by the club
toward the Baltimore expenses of the
bowling team which consists of Geo.
Asmus. John Zeck, C. W. McKellar, W.
Wolf and P. Olsem.

It was voted to extend invitations
to the Detroit Florists' Club and the
Milwaukee Florists' Club to visit, the
Chicago Club Oct. 5, when Elmer D.
Smith will read a paper on chrysan-
themums. A chrysanthemum show
will also be held at the November
meeting and an invitation sent to the
Chrysanthemum Society of America to
appoint the judges. A vase of Gladio-
lus Kunderdi Glory was exhibited by
Walter Scott of La Grange. 111.

Obituary

John Birnie.

It was sad. sad news and almost un-
believable, that came with lightning
sudtienness to the hundreds of happy
convention visitors at Baltimore when
announcement was made of the death
of one of their number, on Tuesday
evening, as they were just beginning
to gather for the president's reception.
John Birnie, whom they had been talk-
ing to and who, a few minutes before,
they had seen at the supper table,
dead! It was only too true, and there
were tears in many eyes and deep
sorrow on all sides. Mr. Birnie, who
had been complaining some of not
feeling well all through the day was
stricken as he sat at the table with
his wife in the dining room of the
Hotel Belvedere. He was assisted to
his room, where he expired in a few
minutes. Apoplexy was said to be the
cause.

John Birnie was a native of Buchan,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland. He came to
this country as a trained gardener.
One of his first places was with the
late W. J. Palmer in Buffalo. Then he
went to West Hoboken. N. J., where
he has long been known as a skillful
and prosperous plant grower. He was
active in the New York plant market
and an earnest worker in the effort to
have adequate accommodations sup-

plied by the city for the marketing of
plants. In the New York Florists'
Club he was a useful, loyal member,
and he has been a regular attendant
at the S. A. F. conventions for many

The body was taken to West Ho-
boken, N. J., on Wednesday.

Members of the New York Florists'
Club and others formed a procession
and escorted the body from the Hotel
Belvedere to the station Wednesday
morning. The National Society and
Baltimore and New York clubs sent
beautiful floral tokens. Mr. and Mrs.
John Donaldson accompanied Mrs.
Birnie home to West Hoboken. The
casket was opened at the station and
each member in passing dropped in
a rose. A special meeting of the New
York Florist Club was held Tuesday
night at which Messrs. Totty. Bun-
yard and Sheridan were appointed a
committee on obituary resolution.

Joftn Birnie

years. Personally John Birnie was re-
spected and beloved as few men are.
He was whole souled, generous, bril-
liant in intellect — a fine type of manly
character. He was a most interesting
writer, good debater and all around
genial companion.

A Friend's Tribute.
The heart has gone clean out of me.
I can't talk. My dear, kind, good
John Birnie — that I was just jest-
ing with but a minute ago. It cannot
be. I cannot believe he is gone. And
yet they assure me that this wonder-
ful big heart has ceased to beat. I
refuse to believe it, and yet I must —
and in my grief I want to do all kinds
of insane things. From now on,
count the world a lonesome place for
thousands of warm-hearted friends
and admirers of John Birnie. He was
one of the loveliest personalities I
ever knew, and one of the wisest and
wittiest. I am inconsolable. I can
say no more now.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The roses at the National Capital
have been better this summer than
ever before owing to the fact that
some of the larger growers have de-
voted several houses to summer stock
exclusively. American Beauties, off
new plants, have been coming in in
fine shape since the first of August
and the supply is well equal to the
demand for all ordinary purposes.
"My Maryland." "Enchanter." "Kais-
erin." "Killarney." "Brides," "Brides-
maids" and "Ivory" are in good form
for this season of the year. Carna-
tions have been fairly plentiful and
really good considering the terrific
heat, but now the larger growers are
throwing them out to make room for
the outdoor plants. China asters are
doing better this year than ever be-
fore. They are being grown to single
stem two and three feet long with
four-inch flowers. They are filling in
the space until chrysanthemum time
a few weeks hence.

Mr. Otto A. C. Oehmler, secretary
of the Washington Florists' Club, is
spending the month with Mrs. Oehm-
ler and their child, at Colonial Beach.

J. H. Small & Sons furnished prac-
tically all the cut flowers and decora-
tive plants used in connection with
the entertainments tendered Admiral
Count Togo of the Japanese Navy
during his recent visit to Washington.

Superintendent Lanham who has
charge of the trees and parkings of
this city reports that, as a result of a
successful war against the caterpillar
and the tussock moth, the 100,000
shade trees of Washington are in bet-
ter condition this year than ever be-
fore. This year a 450 gallon sprink-

ler, loaded with arsenate of lead, was
brought into operation, with excellent
results.

Edward M. Harris, Sr., and Prof.
George M. Perdew, both of Cumber-
land, Md., last year discovered a new
species of goldenrod growing in the
vicinity of "Devil's Slide," near Cum-
berland, and for this Mr. Harris has
been honored by having the plant
named after him — Solidago Harrissi.
This plant grows and blooms much
earlier than the ordinary goldenrod,
but it usually attains a growth of onlv
one foot. CLARENCE L. LIXZ.

PERSONAL.

Frank Hill, gardener to F. A. Sayles,
Pawtucket, R. I., is very proud of the
fine conifers that adorn this fine place
and which by care in planting have
survived this dry season. His method
is to fill each hole about one-half
with soil and puddle well around the
roots giving plenty of water, then fin-
ish with top soil. By following this
plan he has not lost one tree.

Having failed in her mission to find
her husband, Caskin A. Abeele, who
came to Washington a month ago to
establish a florist business, Mrs. Jen-
nie Abeele is again at her home in
Flatbush, N. Y With her six-weeks-
old baby she returned to New York
yesterday afternoon. According to the
story she told the police, her hus-
band, after selling his greenhouse on
Long Island, left her when her baby
was six weeks old. saying he was
going to Washington. He had with
him, she said, nearly $2000. The police
are making a search for Abeele.—

BALTIMORE NOTES.
It is planned to increase the gar-
dens at the new home of the Johns
Hopkins University and to build an
additional greenhouse. The garden
was laid out some three years ago by
Mr. William H. Witte, the superin-
tendent, and under his direction it
has been enlarged from time to time.
It was established primarily for pur-
poses of botanical research work in
connection with the University, but it
is open to the public. For the benefit
of the latter, every plant, tree and

bush is labeled and entered in a cata-
logue, a copy of which is given to
those who may be interested.

Mr. Louis C. C. Krieger, well known
to florists throughout the country by
reason of his work for the United
States Agricultural Department, is
visiting in this city. Mr. Krieger who
is an artist, is at present located in
Cambridge, Mass., where he is en-
gaged in illustrating the work on the
cryptogamic flora of the United States
which is being prepared by Dr. W. G.
Fallow, t he famous Harvard botanist.

<J The other day I visited a small
town not far from New York to see
what business might be done, t
concluded to visit the oldest
blishment first and when I
.arrived there an old disgrunted dis-
budder came out of the house,
cleaning his teeth via the vacuum
method ; said he had bought for
20 years from one house and cal-
culated they were good enough for
him, besides he used Callas since
the Harrisii had gone wrong. I
asked him if any other florist in
town grew bulbs and he said there
was only one other and he was a
young snip who knew nothing
about the business, and used no
lilies that he knew of. So of course,
I knew the young fellow must be
of some account since the old man
had belittled him. Sure enough,
I found the young fellow up and
busy. He had more business about
him in a minute than the old man
in a clay and after a five minute con-
versation he bought what he needed
and went about his work. Before
I left I asked him about the old
man and was told that he was a
reliable man who bought some
bulbs and was advised to see him.
I thought to myself what a differ-
ence in humanity and between the
old and the young in business, but
said nothing. The old fellow is a
throw-back from the Black Ages —
and will never amount to a row of
pins. The Good Shepherd knows
we don't want any Horseshoe
Brand boxes around his back yard,
but the younger man we want and
we will keep his trade for he is
worthy of respect and business
confidence. — Ward.

During Recess

Michell Co.'s Outing.

The Henry F. Michel! Company
gave their employes and friends the
Brst annual outing ami athletic meet
on Saturday, August i-th.

Four special trolley ears were en-
i to convey the party to the E>
ergreeii Gardens, at Andalusia, Pa.,
where the outing was held. Upon ar-
riving at the Gardens the official
photographs were taken, after which
the entire party of over 200 marched
to the flagpole to take part in the
flag raising, and with uncovered heads
sang the National Anthem.

Athletic contests were next on the
list. Young and old men and the
women took part. Much amusement
was afforded by the various races and
other contests.

To end the sports a baseball game
was played by the representative
teams of Henry A. Dreer and Henry
P. Michell. This was the most excit-
ing part of the day's program. The
game was nip and tuck up to the
seventh inning, when the Michell boys
got in their usual batting rally and
scored 9 runs in one inning, making
it a walk-over of the easiest kind, the
final score being 19 to 2. Score by
innings as follows:

1 2 3 4567S9RHE
Dreer. 000101000232

Michell, 1 0 1 0 1 2 9 5 0 19 21 1
Umpires: Roth and Bettz.

After the game refreshments were
served on the lawn and needless to
say everybody did justice to the eats.
Then, to wind up the festivities, the
young people enjoyed themselves at
the dance which was given in the
spacious new building which will be
used as a storehouse this fall.

At eight o'clock the outing was
brought to a close and all went home
extremely tired and well satisfied that
they had had the time of their lives.

The Michell ball team has one open
date this season, which is September
4th, and would like to arrange a game
with one of the out-of-town seed
houses, preferably New York or Bos-
ton, for the inter-city seed champion-
ship.

C. S. HARRISON AND CONSERVA-
TION.

Taking the last sentence of Mr. Har-
rison's good and wholesome address
(p. 1N4. Hort., Aug. 5th I. viz.: "This
country is going to be saved. Not
only conserved but made more beau-
tiful and attractive." I should like to
ask Mr. Harrison how he believes this
is to be done. It is one thing to have
ideals and another thing to put these
ideals in force. The minute you start
to do the latter you run up against
vested interests with the whole of the
law and the prophets behind them.
What would Mr. Harrison propose as
a first step? Would he be willing to
have all our laws relating to land
owning, land selling or land holding
revised and begin on a new deal,
namely that fundamentally land is not
a salable commodity, any more than
the atmosphere or the running waters?
All of these natural resources are
rentable, but only one (the law) has
been heretofore considered a salable
commodity. Should we make land
rentable only and not salable? Gif-
ford Pinchot has the right idea, but
what is he going to do if the "grab-
alls" with all the bad laws on their side
are in power at Washington? This is
a tough proposition. I would like to
hear from Mr. Harrison as to how we
are to get back to the right idea, and
how the public are to hold what little
they still have without a fight.
France, Germany. Great Britain and
Seattle are all struggling with this
question these many years. Yan-
couver, B. C, seems to have managed
it. I am glad to read the reverend
gentleman's confident slogan, and
hope he will respond to this neighbor-
ly inquiry. GEORGE C. WATSON,

orchards for which that vicinity is
noted were visited. Some interesting
papers on live topics were read and
discussed. The attendance was large

Flower Market Reports.

The condition of the
BOSTON market both as regards

selling and quality of
Bowers does not shape up as well us
usual at this time oi year. Hot weath-
er is the crj and apology for the con-
dition of the stock. There arc plenty
of small roses but they are hard to
move, even rhe street fakir fighting
shy of them. Good roses sell well
when they can be had. Carnations
are not even seen in the mar ;ei while
asters are not as plentiful as other
years and those that do come in are
not up to standard due to causes al-
p ady stated. Gladioli are plentiful
as are also lily of the valley.

For the past two weeks
BUFFALO trade has been irregular,

at times not enough of a
certain line could be obtained and at
other times too many. Home grown
gladioli are now had in quantity,
and some choice Americas, May and
Augusta are had. There being too
many of the ordinary mixed varieties
I hey have dragged along to some ex-
tent. Asters of the late varieties are
making t heir appearance, though not
in large quantities. There are plenty
of roses mostly shorts, and select stock
sells rapidly. Lily of the Valley has
had a good demand, and excellent
stock to be had. Plenty of greens.

A normal August con-
CHICAGO dition prevails, with the

• xeeption that an un-
limited supply of gladioli is flooding
the market. All kinds are sharing the
same fate some days, while the best
varieties are of course sold first when
there can be said to be any demand.
On Saturday, August 12, a large lot of
the choicest kinds sold at ridiculously
low prices, one wholesaler reporting a
sale of 2000 of his best stock at ly2
cents each. Roses from new plants
are not very large, but otherwise qual-
ity is excellent. Carnations from the
field are short and full of buds, but
help out when this flower is needed.
Some very good blooms are still being
cut from old stock. The supply of lilies
is still larger than can be handled to
advantage. Asters are now coming on
fairly long stems, and though not
specially large are fair in size. Among
the more unusual stock this week was
seen celosia in several varieties.
Plenty of green is to be had and is
fully appreciated by those who try for
seasonable window decorations.

Business for the week
CINCINNATI ending Aug. 12th was
fairly satisfactory.
All kinds of flowers were to be had in
quantity. The supply of Beauties is in
excess of present requirements, while
the quality was never better for this
time of the year. Tea roses too are of
good quality, but receipts are too
heavy to realize anywhere near
quoted price, the greater part of the
sales being made via the job lot route.
A limited number of Enchantress and
white Enchantress with a fair bloom
and stem, cut from old stock, are still
coming in and sell readily. Carnations
from the field move slowly. Gladioli
rue coming in in unlimited numbers,
the better grades bringing a fair price
while the poorer ones drag, a good
many finding an outlet by way of the
ash barrel. Good asters are few and
far between, while the market is well

Flower Market Reports

(Continued from page
the advantage of all. Asters are also
coming in bettor and more ol them,
still their inferior quality as compared
to former seasons ought to give Gladi-
oli a better show than last year. Many
retailers report the hooking of wed-
ding decorations for next September,
indicating quite an activity in early
fall weddings.

Trading last week
PHILADELPHIA was rather life-
less and on the
whole did not compare favorably with
the week before. There was a distinct
falling off in volume, and there were
few if any bright spots to make the
situation cheerful. Asters show no
improvement in quality. Usually by
this date we have fine Crego's and
Yick's Upright and Branching but
none of these have materialized so far.
Even the quantity of the regular
stock has fallen off. Low prices pre-
vail. Gladioli have also diminished
in volume, and while they sell fairly
well the prices are anything but sat-
isfactory. In the rose market the
American Beauty is still by far the
best value. Some very superior stock
is coming in from the cooler climate
of down east: very good as to size
and stem and excellent deep color,
still, even these feel the effect of the
sluggish market, and are not going out
any too briskly. Marylands are pretty
good; so are Killarneys. It is rather
a remarkable thing that pink roses
are going off better than white while
it is mid-August when there is little
going on except memorial work. But
so it is. White roses have been very
sluggish for the week. There are not
so many white Killarneys but there
are plenty of good Kaizerins. Practi-
cally nothing doing in carnations.
We used to have some good outside
flowers about now. This seems to
have been abandoned and appears to
be a mistake on the part of the grow-
ers. Orchids are off crop and there is
great difficulty in filling what few or-
ders are coming in. Lily of the Valley,
Gardenias, and Easter Lilies are in
fair demand and are of excellent
quality. Ferns and all kinds of
greens too plentiful.

The wholesale market
ST. LOUIS as well as the retail
business is mighty
dull just now. The market is crowd-
ed with all kinds of stock and a great
deal is going to waste for want of
demand. Roses are selling at cheap
prices. Carnations are still small and
short-stemmed. A correct price on as-
ters is hard to get. as any old price

will buy. A few hundred gladioli and
single tuberose stalks are in the same
boat. The hot weather has returned
and thp business seems duller than
ever. The retailers say that only
funeral work keeps them alive nowa-
days. The market is also over-crowd-
ed with a lot of small out-door stock
which is hard to dispose of at any
price, this state of affairs, plenty of
stock and no business is likely to
continue throughout the month.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

Mr. Strohlein of Dreer's is now in
Europe. He left August 8th on the
Kaiser Wilhelm II. Expected back
home end of September.

B. Eschner and a corps of able as-
sistants did themselves proud at the
convention for our great Philadelphia
supply house, Mi. Rice & Co.

The sympathy of the trade is with
Frank L. Polites — suffering from a
broken shoulder. The accident oc-
curred July 28th, at a children's
picnic. Mr. Polites broke the fall for
some children, in a swing which
proved insecure; but in doing so got
the worst of it himself. On the 14th
inst. he was reported to be on the
mend all right.

Clarence Watson, of the Leo Niessen
Co., has returned from his vacation at
Wildwood, X. J., and Bucks Co., Pa.,
looking invigorated and fit. Mr. Wat-
son has had some bad spells in recent
years. Fine instruments are easily
deranged, unless they get exquisite
care. The tuneful little fiddle is in
tune again. Glory be.

"Mae," an unknown correspondent
of one of our more or less esteemed
contemporaries says the "Bard of Phil-
adelphia" (whoever he may be), made
a sermon on locality and cabbage! On
the contrary, one writer talked of
locality and brains. Who ever heard
of brains in a cabbage. And as for
the "Bard of Philadelphia" — our dear
friend Wm. K. Harris went to his last,
reward in 1010 — and he has had no

successor. He never had a rival. If
Viae" can't distinguish the difference
between brains and cabbage, he is a
fit subject for Dr. Wiley. Or, shall
we leave him to the tender mercies of
McCabe! The "Mac's" seem to be in
the Dutcb class this August.

Arthur Niessen and Clarence Wat-
son represented the Leo Niessen Co.
at the Baltimore, convention.

The glass manufacturers and deal-
ers are still bewailing low prices.
This amusing card emanating from
the office of E. H. Flood greeted us in
the mails the other morning, and
shows clearly the state of mind they
are in at present:

"Count thai d.-iy lest

u hose low descending sun
Sees prices shot to h— 11
And business done for fun."

Tley all wail that prices have gone
to the bow-wows, and that there are
no profits in the business any more.
And you may go bail, as Tom Daly-
says — "You may go bail, they make
the talc wid fanciful adornin." By
all means let us have higher prices for
glass; then we won't build so much
and maybe there will be less compe-
tition for the cut flower market.

PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.
Vines and How to Grow Them. By
William C. McCollum— This is still
another addition to the Garden Li-
brary. Like the foregoing it is pro-
fuseiv illustrated, and is thoroughly
practical in its contents. Not only
hardv garden climbers are included
but greenhouse climbers as well. It

is a very interesting book of over 300
pages and should be included in every
florists' library.

Chrysanthemums and How to Grow
Them bv I. L. Powell.— The fact that
the book has been written by this pro-
ficient grower and prize winning cham-
pion of the exhibition table will be a
sufficient guarantee of its value as a
guide to anyone aiming for success as
a chrysanthemum grower. It is a com-
plete manual, covering all phases ot
instruction for either private or com-
mercial growing. It is a notable addi-
tion to The Garden Library. The pub-
lishers could not have selected a more
acceptable authority to prepare the

work.

Garden Planning, by W. S. Rogers—
Especially designed to help the maker
of small gardens in fitting his desires
to the situation and conditions. It
deals with principles as well as prac-
tice and is illustrated with a wealth
of sketches and plans. While intended
primarily for the amateur it is safe
to say that few gardeners or florists
there are who cannot learn something
from this book which they do not
know and is worth the knowing, es-
pecially in the present lapid growth ot
public appreciation for garden art.
Useful lists of plants for various gar-
den purposes are appended.

The foregoing three additions to the
Garden Library series are published
by Doubleday, Page & Co., at the um-
foim price of $1.1". Copies can be
supplied by HORTICULTURE at pub-
lisher's price.

A H. Hews & Co., flower pot nianu-
faiiuieis. have erected another clay
storage shed this summer at North
Cambridge. Mass.. 52x190 ft. and 30 ft.
high. This company uses nearly 10.-
iii ii i tons of clay each year in the man-
, nurture of flower pots.

bunted in an out of the way place.

The English you know are in the habit
of attaching theirs directly to their resi-
dence. We have built some that way up
in Montreal. One particularly fine one was

for Hon. Montague Allen. If you think it
would interest your employer, will gladly
send him a photograph.

And how are the prospects for building
or making any additions? Would our cat-
alog— the 100 page one — be any help to
you? Glad to send it along.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists' Stock

I IRK iTIONS in POT 01 LTI BE

Retail planl growers who intend to grow pol carna-
tions for winter planl trade, should have the sto
potted up not later than il i lirsl week in September, as
they will lifl an} lime l" fori this date better than after

it. I se a g I fibrous soil and about -third of man

are, the whole thoroughly broken up and mixed and a
sprinkling of bonemeal added. After the plant- are
potted their transfer to thi bouse can be delayed until
(pule late in October. Keep them in a frame and you
will have healthier, stouter, more compact and finer
plants t" take in later. All pinching back should be
discontinued by the end of this month. See that t hoy
have an abundance of air night and day, with careful
watering and light and frequenl syringing, as all that

will be needed to rue -age a healthy pot plant. Give

them a fumigating once a week, as a preventive for
By and thrips.

OINER IBIAS

To have a line batch of cinerarias in full bloom by
n. \t Easter sow now withoul delay. See that you get
the best strain of seed, for il certainly is a single waste
of tune, money, space and labor to invest in a cheap
and poor grade of seed. Sou the seed in pans that are
well drained and filled with a soil composed of three
parts loam and two of leaf-mold, with a good sprinkling
of sand. Silt the mixture fine for the top layer. See
that the soil in the pans is pressed moderately firm, and
<m this sow the seeds evenly but not too thickly, and
then just cover with fine soil and press slightly. Keep
moisl and under heavy shading, to be made lighter when
the plant- are up. When the young plants are big
enough to handle — that is when they have made their
third ot fourth leaf — prick them out two inches apart
in flats. Before they get crowded in these flats pot into
'.'t-. nr 3-inch pots using the same mixture, only add a
little COB manure and let it he more lumpy at each shift.
Keep these plants out a- late in the fall as possible,
guarding them, however, against frosts, and when this
becomes difficult to do remove them to a cool house and
place them as near tlie -las- as possible.

GL0X1N I \S \\ i R01 - m QON I \s

A.s these plants go out >f flower thej should be
started on their season of re t. Place them in a house
where there is no shade am aaintain a free circulation
of air to help them to ripen up their growth. Continue

died down and then li,, soi Should he allowed to be-

comi quite drj and the pot- I aeed under a bench where
there is no drip and ju I water given to keep

the tubers from shriveling. Gloxinias generally winter
best this way if kept in a temperature of about 50
-. Where this i- convenient the tubers can

be stored in flats of dry san T - is the best way to

winter tnbi mias to preserve them from the air,

otherwise the el and thereby receive -erious

much drought al the root-. Plants that are needed for
early flowering -hould be gradually exposed to full sun-
light as thej i •■.■! 1 1 \ thrive better when thus expose
the middle of September. Those that are desired for
later blooming can be retarded by giving them a hright
but lightly shaded house that is kept cool, and where
the atmosphere i- light and drier, but under such con-
ditions it is not advisable to encourage a too dry atmos-
phere if you want to sustain your plants in good health.
This retarding can be done with common sense without
any injury.

Oncidium varicosum will now. or soon should, be
showing flower -pike-. Remove part of your permanent
shading so as to give more light and sun. Do it gradu-
ally or your plant- will siiil'er by too quick exposure to
the sun. By October they will stand full sun. By
placing some plant- in an intermediate temperature of
about 60 degrees at night with a rise to 70 or 75 degrees
with sun. as desired, a siieeesston of hlootii can he kept
up for some time. This is a fine orchid to grow, with
it- large graceful panicles of bright yellow bloom, which
ire excellent as cut flowers.

PEONIES

If you have in view the making of a new peony plan-
tation, the sooner it is taken in hand the better. The
most fertile plot of ground should not be considered too
good for this purpose. To get the best results the land
should he trenched to the depth of at least two feet, fol-
lowed by the incorporation of large quantities of stable
manure. When planting a permanent bed for future
cutting, they should be set four feet apart each way,
hut if planting with the intention of division of the
roni- lor selling, '.'to to 3 feet apart each way will do.
See that the roots are set deep enough to insure the
crowns hem- :; or I inches below the -urface of the
-oil. It is best to have all your planting done before
the end of September as it gives the plants a chance to
make good root growth while the weather is warm.

PAPER WHITE NARCISSUS

To grow these bulbs so they will be at their best it is
well to allow at least an inch between each bulb. Use
flats that are 3 or I inches deep and fill with a good
loam that has abi ut one-third of well rotted manure.
Place them in a cold frame for the next ks.

They can then be brought into a I se of about l". to

50 degrees at night in October and allowed to come
along -lowly. Give a bench where they will get all the
\ fti i sri> ing this cool treatmi nt un-
til they have madi lots of roots, they can thou be given
a couple of wi I igher temperature so as to bring

the flowers out [f they are cut when about four or
five flowers of the trusses are open they will last from
four to six days.

An Opinion on Dr. Wiley 320

Fire Record 320

Greenhouses Building or Contemplated 322

The S. A. F. Convention is always a most
Aftermath prolific developer of ideas for anyone who
attentively follows the proceedings and the
Baltimore affair just closed is no exception to the rule,
judging from the critical comments, approving or other-
wise, that find expression on every opportunity since.
It would indeed be a colorless and unprofitable conven-
tion where no difference of opinion and consequent warm
discussion on points at variance did not materialize.
As to the final educational effect, however, on those
concerned, Mark Twain's advice might be pertinent for
some of us to give heed to. He said, "We should be
careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that
is in it and stop there, lest we be like the cat that sits
down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a
hot stove-lid again, and that is well; but also she will
never sit down on a cold one any more."

It has been maintained by some, since the
Talking Baltimore experience, that the S. A. F.
it over method of conducting elections is defective

and rather slip-shod ; that its system of bal-
loting is "Australian" only in name, the fundamental
principle of the Australian ballot, viz., secrecy and free-
dom from dictation, being ignored. Whether this is so,
to a detrimental extent, and whether the protection
againsl partizan supervision which is accorded the voter
in civic affairs might wisely be extended to the S. A. F.
voter : whether ballot peddling and solicitors should be
excluded from the hall; whether some restriction should
be placed on the voting privileges of members joining
the Society on the day of nomination or election;
whether "spell-binder" oratory for the purpose of influ-
encing a vote should be regulated ; — all these and many
similar questions are being brought forward and this is
an excellent thing for the Society as it indicates a lively
interest in its affairs on the part of the membership,
without which no organization can attain its best use-
fulness.

We doubt whether there ever has been

Emulation, an election in the S. A. F. conducted

not contention with equal zeal for favored candidates,

where the spirit of respectful cordial-
ity ami freedom from animosit} was so pronounced as
at Baltimore last week. Although hotly contested for
the several posts of honor no ill feeling was engendered
and we do not doubt that the new officials will assume
their respective posts of duty with the sincere support
of those who opposed as well as those who favored their
selection. It lias been asserted that no two minds have
ever yet been found of which it could be said that there
was unanimity of opinion on all questions presented
for their consideration. Simple and primitive indeed
must be the topic and few its details if. even in a single
instance, any two interested parties can be brought to
think exactly alike. But it is possible for each and all
to be actuated by the same loyal impulse to help in
every possible way to promote the prosperity of the
Society and broaden and enhance its influence. On
methods and on men for leaders there must always be
diversity of views and tin's is healthy for the organiza-
tion so lung as it is kept within tolerant and friendly
hounds.

John Flood.
John Flood, Woburn, Mass.. passed
away on August 23, aged about 10
years. Mr. Flood was born in Lon-
don, England, and was employed in the
seed department of James Vietch .^
Sons, for whom his father \\ s lore-
man. About twelve years ago lie was
employed by Peter Henderson. New
York, from there going to R. & J.
Farquhar & Co.. Boston, Mass After
leaving there he was employed on the
estate of Joseph II. White of Brook-
line, Mass., under James \\ In e r. go-
lng from there to Buffalo and spending
three years in that city. He then lo-
cated a business of his own in Ded-
ham. Mass., which he maintained for
about three years. One year ago he

Joseph R. Freeman.

Again it becomes our painful duty
to record the passing away on August
22 of a well-beloved member of the
horticultural craft, J. It. Freeman, of
Washington.

Mr. Freeman was born in England
sixty-two years ago. He came to
Washington when fourteen years of
age, at first working for the late John
Saul. He remained with Mr. Saul
for several years, when he was mar-
ried to Miss Mary E. Weaver, of
Washington. With his wife, Mr. Free-
man moved to Baltimore, where they
remained for two years, at which time
they came back to Washington. Mr.
Freeman then established himself in
the florist business, which he continued
until his death. His first business was
located at Thirteenth and E streets,
near Pennsylvania avenue. About lfi
years ago Mr. Freeman removed to 612
Thirteenth street, his last location.

Joseph R. Freeman.

The cans.' of death is given as Uright's
disease.

Few men have been more blessed
with neighborly and companionable
traits than J. R. Freeman. To his
friends and they were legion — he was
the embodiment of open-handed hospi-
tality. He was prosperous in busine
and was widely known and respected
among the business men of Washing-
ton. He was a life member of the So-
i iety of American Florists ami served
as its vice-president in 1905. At the
convention in Washington thai year he
was nominated for president but de-
clined the honor. At the conven
tion in Rochester last year be
seconded the nomination of Baltimore
and urged the selection of that city as
the meeting place for 1911. He wa
also a member of the Florists' Club of
Washington, a large delegation from
which attended the funeral.

Mr. Freeman is survived by his wile.
three sons. .1. W . .1. S.. and William E.
Freeman; and one daughter, Catherine

A Thousand Pound Sweet Pea Prize.

The Crystal Palace was lately the
scene of the big sweet pea show, or-
ganized by the "Daily Mail." This
newspaper and its associated journals
have for weeks given the competition
a "boom," for it is not often the ama-
teur grower has a chance of winning a
thousand pounds first prize. EntrieB
poured in from all parts of the king-
dom, and the judges had a difficult
task in picking out the best blooms,
which were eventually staged, and
formed the largest exhibition of sweet
peas seen in this country. The blooms
all had to be sent through the post,
thus giving the entire body of ex-
hibitors the same chance. Much in-
genuity was displayed in endeavoring
to secure the transit of the blooms in
a fresh condition. The heated state of
the glass building caused the flowers
to fade, and on the second day a very
poor display was made. The drought
has been very trying to' most of the
growers this season. There was only
one trade exhibitor, W. J. Unwin, who
showed an interesting assortment of
some of his leading introductions. The
first prize was won by Mrs. J. H.
Fraser, a minister's wife, of Sprouston,
Kelso, Scotland, and by a strange co-
incidence her husband won the third
prize. The judging was done with
numbers, so that the judges were not
aware of the relationship of the two
successful exhibitors. The second
prize went to the Isle of Wight.

The National Carnation and Picotee
Society.

There were several absentees from
the usual exhibitors at the annual
show of the National Carnation and
Picotee Society, owing to the unfavor-
able season. James Douglas, of Great
Bookham, Surrey, carried off the first
prize in several classes, as well as the
Cartwright Challenge Cup, in the open
classes, also the Society's cup for the
highest aggregate number of points in
the first division of the schedule.
Among the new seedlings was a
crimson self-colored. Mrs. F. J. John-
son, shown by Arthur R. Brown, Ltd.,
of King's Norton. Hayward Mathias
showed Ariel, a new yellow ground
picotee, with a light pink edge. Each
of these received a first prize in their
special class.

We are advised that a swindler
operating under the name of Chris.
Meyer has been working in and around
Madison, N. J., and our readers are
hereby warned so that they may be
irepared for him.

He has evidently worked at the
florist business as he can talk glibly
enough regarding the different varieties
of roses and carnations. He has vic-
timized several of the tradesmen of
Madison by the use of small forged
becks, claiming a long acquaintance
with a number of prominent growers.

He is of medium height, with dark
hair, and gains attention by claiming
to be an Elk of a Virginian Lodge, so
florists would be well advised to see
the card of any man looking for favors
under the plea that he is an Elk

CONCLUDING SESSION.
At 1.00 P. M. the ballot counting not
being completed an adjournment was
taken until 6.00 P. M., at which time
President Asmus resumed the session,
and called for report of Committee on
State Vice-Presidents, which was read,
and on motion approved, and a vote of
thanks extended to the different State
Vice-Presidents.

Report of Committee on State Vice-

Your Committee lias received the
twenty -si\ reports of the Vice-Presidents
of the various states, and flud the detail
of the same to show no tailing off or lack

President Asmus referred to the sad
occurrence of the taking away by
death of one of the oldest and most
beloved members, Mr. John Birnie, and
announced that he had named a suit-
able committee to prepare resolutions
appropriate to the occasion, which he
now desired the Secretary to read, re-
questing all to remain standing mean-
while as a token of respect to the de-
parted brother.

The convention arose while the re-
port of the committee was read in a
feeling manner by Secretary Dorner:
Report en Death of Jchn Birnie.
Your committee respectfully report
the following resolutions upon the
death of our deceased brother, John
Birnie:

Whereas: We the Society of American

Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists

assembled in the city of Baltimore on the

sion of the Twenty-seventh Annual

i, nil. n have been grievously touched

by the sudden death of our fellow crafts-
man John Birnie; therefore

i ,...], ;i ii .1 1 (leul re] resentative of our pro
fession in advam iug all it- Interests; and
lie it therefore further,

Resolved: That we present this resolu-
tion as n token of our sympathy and siu-
,i, affection for him, and condole with
his family in this their sudden and sad
bereavement, and that we submit to them
\ of these resolutions, and forward in

tribute.

The report was unanimously adopt-
ed by a rising vote, the convention, at
the suggestion of President Asmus,
remaining standing for an interval of
time in silence.

Parcels Post Urged.
F. R. Pierson was recognized by the
chair to present the following resolu-
tion which he stated was to give fur-
ther effect to the good work done by
Washington representative. W. F.
Gude.

Whereas, it is a well known fact tat
ous express companies

operating ever the railway li i

the United states have been declaring
,,: « atered stock nei •

iug their charging the public extortionate

rate- on the small package business car-
ried by them; and

Whereas, The mail service of this
country if developed as it should be would
act as a regulator of express rates and
reduce them to a reasonable figure; and

Whereas. The express companies seeing
the handwriting on the wall and realiz-
ing that the intelligent merchants and
others of the country have become en-
lightened to the true state of the coudi
tions existing have been through their
lobby for years fermenting opposition to
the establishment of a parcels post such as
other countries who compete with us
enjoy; and have enlisted in such opposition
various retail trades and others who think
that a parcels post would help the mail
order houses and department stores, where-
as in fact it would stimulate the entire

eonimelVo of the enniltry, ;1 lul tile loSS tO

retailers would be offset a thousand times
in the general increased prosperity; and

Whereas, The express companies aud
others have scattered broadcast the idea
that the post-office department would be
ruu at a loss were the post office business
increased through the establishment of a
parcels post, whereas on the contrary its
revenues would be greatly increased pro
vided proper rates of charge for the rail-
way service enforced, and

Whereas, In every foreign country com-
munication by mail is so much appreciated
that the people of Germany ami other
countries nave advantages in a parcels
post such as we have never bad here,
therefore,

Resolved. That our representatives iu
congress be personally written to or com-
municated with by each and every one of our

mbership throughout this t'nited States

and urged to enact a parcels post at the
earliest possible moment that shall place
our citizens on a footing with foreigners,
and that shall furnish ;iii effort i\e regu-
lator of express rates in this country to
the end that the entire manufacturing and
commercial business of the country" may
be stimulated and our domestic commerce
increased beyond present conceptions of
its volume. The need for a parcels post
is urgent and pressing and Congress can
serve the country in no other way more
effectively at this time.

On motion the foregoing were
unanimously adopted.

On motion it was ordered that the
Committee on Tariff and Legislation
be instructed to draft a letter pertain-
ing to the resolution adopted with re-
gard to the parcels post, a copy of the
same to be sent to each member of
the S. A. F.

In the absence of Prof. H. H. Whet-
zel, Plant Pathologist, his report was
read by title and on motion ordered
printed in full in the proceedings of
the Society.

Report on Trade Exhibit.
Through Secretary Dorner, the Su-
perintendent of Trade Exhibit, Mack
Richmond, reported that the amount
received from sale of space amounted
to $3,796.00, which statement was
greeted with applause.

No Increase in Life Membership.

The amendment to the constitution
proposed with reference to annual
dues, initiation fees and life member-
ship, was next considered, and was
lost by a rising vote.

W. N. Rudd presented the follow-
ing:

Report of Auditing Committee on Na-
tional Flower Show.

We, your Committee appointed for
audit of the National Flower Show re-
port, hereby certify that we have ex-
amined and checked the same so far
as was feasible, and are confident it
is correct. The mass of detail is so
great (that a close item by item check
was impossible in the time at our
disposal.

We recommend that the report be
accepted. W. N. RUDD, Chairman.

On motion, the report was received
and adopted.

BALTIMORE'S DAY.

Friday, August 18, was Baltimore's
Day. At 10 a. m. as per schedule the
visitors and their hosts were assem-
bled at the Light street dock and
amid much good nature and felicita-
tions the two steamers, Annapolis and
F. C. Latrobe set sail for the two-
hour trip down the bay to Tolchester
Beach. As before, the open-handed
consideration for the inner man which
characterizes the Baltimorean was
turned loose and nobody was permit-
ted to go either hungry or thirsty.
Much interest attached to Fort Me-
Henry, where the Stars and Stripes
were first raised and other interesting
points en route.

Arriving at the landing at Tolches-
ter Beach the procession wended its
way to the lawn in front of the pavil-
ion where, it had been whispered, an
interesting event was to transpire.
And so it did, as J. K. M. L. Farquhar
of Boston stepped into the open space
and calling for President George As-
mus of Chicago, addressed him in
words eloquent with appreciative
praise for the excellent manner in
which he had met the heavy respon-
sibilities of his office, his capacity for
organization and ability in presiding
over his Society and presented him
on behalf of the assembled members a
beautiful solid silver service in a ma-
hogany case. President Asmus re-
sponded with words full of heartfelt
appreciation and promised a good time
and a notable convention in his home
town next year. President-elect Vin-
cent, being called upon, responded
gratefully for the honor that had been
conferred upon him. Then came the
games.

Shooting.

The shooting results were as fol-
lows:

Firsi prize. T, C. Stevenson; Second
B. W. Stevenson: Third, It. M. 41 tick;
Fourth. I-:. K. Shaw; Fifth, 11. Browu;
Sixth, <;. Anderson; Seventh, Charles Sey-
bold; Eighth. G. Lntz; Ninth. F. Marquart;
Tenth, 11. Blackistone; Highest average, 50
birds, T. C. Stevenson.

Following the shooting contest a
baseball game between the Baltimore
members of the organization and the
visitors was begun, but at the ending
of the fifth inning, when the score
stood 4 to 0 in favor of the visitors,
the game was called on account of the
storm, which was rapidly approaching.
The ball players had hardly left the
field before the rain began to fall in
torrents. Crowds flocked to the shel-
ter of the houses, and those who were
standing on the piers sought the
friendly covering afforded by the two
vessels at the docks. The storm last-
ed for about half an hour.
Other Games.

The winners of the other games,
which took place in the afternoon,
were:

Men's Running Race — For men 23 years
and over. First, Harry Wagner, of Balti-
more; second, W. StaufTel, of Baltimore.

Young Men's Running Race — Ward
Perry, of Baltimore.

Fat Men's Race— J. Schocks, of Balti-
more.

Married Women's Race — Mrs. William
Robertson, of Washington.

man in the party. The ballots were
collected, and after counting them it
was found that Robert Halliday had
been unanimously chosen. Mr. Halli-
day, though pleased, was not in the
least flattered, and as the crowd gath-
ered around him to see the sealed
package, containing the prize, opened,
they were greatly disappointed when
Mr. Halliday stated that he would not
open the package until some time next

day.

AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY.

At the session of this Society on
Wednesday, August 16, in addition to
the proceedings as recorded in our
last week's issue, the following busi-
ness was transacted. The committee
on recommendations in President's ad-
dress, Messrs. Vaughan, Crawford and
Cowee, advised the appointment of
I. S. Hendrickson, Arthur Cowee and
Carl Cropp, with the secretary ex-
officio, as a board of registry of new
varieties with power to make trials,
etc., subject to the approval of the
executive committee, also authorizing
the expenditure of $50 for dies for a
society medal.

Treasurer Fuld's report showed cash
on hand $230.37, and Financial Secre-
tary Youell reported that there were
membership and advertising accounts
still due the Society of $345.

It was voted that the American
Gladiolus Society adopt the following

timore: third prize, $1. Miss Fannie Lach-
ner, of Baltimore.

Single Ladies' Race- Miss May Dodds,
of Washington.

At 5.30 the delegates congregated at
the end of the pier and after a short
address by Mr. Vincent, a handsome
silver loving cup was presented to
Robert L. Graham, president of the
Baltimore Gardeners' and Florists'
Club. The presentation was a com-
plete surprise to Mr. Graham and he
acknowledged his appreciation by a
short response. On one side of the cup
was engraved the words:

To Robert I.. Graham, from every mem-
ber of tie Gardeners ami Florists' Club
of Baltimore, as a token of their highest
esteem and regard.

On the reverse side were the words:

Presented during the S. A. F. & O. H.
Convention, Baltimore, August. 1911.

The party then boarded the steamer.
Supper was served on the upper
decks. Almost side by side the two
vessels steamed up the bay, and at
9.30 o'clock the passengers were land-
ed at the pier.

Just before landing a vote was cast
for a prize to go to the handsomest

as a general standard for grading
bulbs. First size bulbs, \y2 inches
and up; second size bulbs, 1*4 inches
to 1Y2 inches.

At the session on Thursday Mr.
Fitzpatrick of Cornell University gave
a lecture and report of investigation
of gladiolus diseases. The election of
officers resulted as follows: President,
I. S. Hendrickson; vice-president, E.
H. Cushman; corresponding secretary,
L. Merton Gage, financial secretary,
H. Youell; treasurer, Wm. Sperling;
executive committee, Arthur Cowee,
T. Boddington, F. W. Fengar; no-
menclature committee, Arthur Cowee,
Leonard Joerg, Professor Beal.

The nomenclature committee recom-
mended and it was adopted that a
committee be appointed by the presi-
dent to secure or have printed a
suitable color chart for the use of the
members of the Society to be referred
to the executive committee for appro-
val and adoption, which shall if
deemed advisable by the committee
be copyrighted and sold to those wish-
ing it.

The following committees were an-
nounced by President Hendrickson:

the exceptional season In California tills Spring. We can make Immediate delivery of the varieties marked with a
star (*), the balance we are expecting from our grower In California at any time. Our advice to intending planters
Is to order early.

Our stocks of Christmas-Flowering Sweet Peas have stood the test for years, and we can refer you to the largest
growers "f this Increasingly popular flower, as to the trueness and quality of "iir seed, Burliness of glooming period,
ami strength and habll <>f plants.

The following varieties nre the "best by test" and include Zvolanek's and oar own introductions, grown for
seed from selected stocks by the leading California Growers and Specialists of Sweet Teas. Our output last year was nearly 6(100 lbs.
No kicks and plenty of testimonials as to quality, germination and trueness to type.

Address of President Hendrickson.
Ladies and Gentlemen. Members and

Friends of the American Gladiolus

Society:

The first year of the American (ilad-
iolus Society is past and gone to make
history either good, poor or indiffer-
ent— which. I will not attempt to pass
Judgment on. However, one year is
hardly long enough to really accomplish
much in what seems to me to be the
two most important lines of work,
namely: thorough trials of all varie-
ties on the market, and treating in-
terest in and love for our favorite
Bower. While million of bulbs are
sold each year it is surprising to find
how many people there are in the
country who are not familiar or
acquainted with gladioli at all, and
only comparatively tew people have
any idea of the splendor and glory of
tire finer varieties that have been

brought out and introduced during the
past ten years, but a beginning has
been made as the reports of the differ-
ent committees will show. From a
membership of 137 a year ago we have
increased to 172. This increase we
think is remarkable, considering the
number of horticultural societies scat-
tered all over the country.

Our special meeting held in Boston
at the time of the National Flower
Show was well attended and much in-
terest was manifested in the discus-
sions. The attempt for an exhibit of
cut blooms was a failure, as it was
found to be about four weeks too
early. The present exhibit will speak
for itself. We are indebted to the
officers and directors of the S. A. F.
and O. H. for the free use of the room
In which the competitive exhibits are
staged.

We have issued three bulletins dur-
ing the year which have been a little
more than self-supporting. Personal
observation during the present sum-
mer convinces me more than ever that
there is work for this society to do,
as there seems to be a craze at the
present time for applying names t.>
varieties. This is to be commended
when the variety named has some
merit, but when names are applied to
varieties that are inferior to varieties
that have been in existence for years,
it seems time to call a halt. Then
again there is no doubt whatever that
a lot of varieties are being renamed
by growers who are not familiar with

existing varieties. It seems to me
that a great deal of this confusion
could be avoided if our society could
establish a bureau of registration
where all new varieties could be sub-
mitted and passed upon before they
are recognized as new varieties by the
trade. I think it would also be inter-
esting if we could establish a list of
100 best varieties, and it might be well
to establish a discard list to eliminate
some of the kinds that have been
superseded by later seedlings. I be-
lieve we can create a great deal of in-
terest among local horticultural so-
cieties if the American Gladiolus So-
iety would adopt some medal to be
offered through the local societies for
best exhibits of gladiolus blooms. A
uniform medal could be made without
a great deal of cost to our society, and
I think it would accomplish much in
the spread of interest.

In conclusion I wish to express my
appreciation of the honor in being the
first president of the American Glad-
iolus Society. I bespeak the same loyal
support of the membership to my suc-
i • ssor in office, and predict a very use-
mi and successful future for this so-
ciety.

PLANTATION OF LONGI FLOR U M GIGANTEUM LILIES, JAPAN.

When Ralph M. Ward of New York
received cable advice of the flood in
Japan which destroyed thousands of
homes in and about the bulb district,
he cabled the flood sufferers 2000 yen
as a donation. The growers affected
appreciated this kindness so much that
they decided to get along without

using the money as a relief, and es-
tablished among themselves what they
call the Flood Donation Commemora-
tion Fund, and used the funds in buy-
ing up the very finest Giganteum seed
bulbs produced in the Kingdom. The
above photograph shows the results
of the first year's planting and cul-
tivation and demonstrates that an ex-

ceedingly high quality can be produced
from the right planting stock. Their
intentions are to supply Mr. Ward,
beginning in 1912, with a grade of
Giganteum superior to anything pro-
duced. The money is used entirely to
promote quality, and the growers have
their heart and soul devoted to the
cause.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

At a speeial meeting of the North
Shore Horticultural Society it was
voted not to hold its summer show,
similar action having been taken in
regard to its June show owing to the
season not having been favorable to
the culture of Mowers. The chrysan-
themum show probably will be held in
the autumn at Manchester, Mass.

The St, LouiS Retail Florists' As-
sociation held its .ing mi the night

prisingly la ge and a great deal of im-
portant business was transacted. A
mail vote was taken among the local
retailers tor earlj closing, and 4_ re-
sponded, of which '■'■<• were in favor of
closing early. Then. Miller was ap-
pointed chairman of the legislative
committee, to act with a committee
appointed by the Florist club to pull
through the bill now inline the house
of delegates to stop "crepe pulling."

^Assuming for the sake- of argu-
ment that Horse- ad Lily
bulbs cosl 20 per cent more than
common brands of no speeial
. and the bulb cost is from L0
per cent of the selling value
of the flowers; don't you think it
is much safer to pay the ditTeri
for Horseshoe Brand? If you
get one more flower from five
bulbs it will more than pay you
the difference in bulb cost, noi
considering at all the chance you
take in buying goods of doubtful
value. So after all it is more eco-
nomical by far to pay 20 per cent
more for a brand which will net
you one more flower in five bulbs;
and the possibilities arc actually
much greater, while the liability for
loss is much less. Furthermore
Horseshoe Brand bulbs do not al-
ways cost 20 per cent more than
other brands, even no more in
some cases, and if anyone doubts
the real value of the brand, all we
ask them to do is to try them anil
keep a record of results. It's the
record most growers fail to keep
and after the season is over they
seldom know whose goods are the
best — merely have a jumbled idea
that they obtained so many flowers
from so many bulbs — that's
all. Lily bulbs in the fields
generally sold a-la-Carte — you
just what you pay for and
■ it's best to pay the
fair price and get the cream of the
crop.

Seed Trade

In a letter from \V. Atlee Burpee,
aim is now iii Europe, we learn thai
the only countries in Europe that have

ilnvni , , ii crops arc Holland aud
ark: England, France and Ger-
many arc in a terrible condition. Mr.
Burpee says thai hie saw field a!l< i
field of Bush beans in Germany in
which most of the plants were abso-
lutely burned up. and the few plants

having green leaves did not carry a
single pod. Mangel and Sugar Beets
bj the hundreds of acres will yield
from 1 '.. to - cw t. per acre Spinach
also is "almost a total failure there,
while asters, unless thej have rains
immediately, will yield practical!} no

seed. Potatoes and grains are also so
poor that it is really a question of how
the farmers can live. In England
the grass is all burned up and there is
practically no pasture for the cows,
while peas are worse than last year.
He states that it was really a satis-
faction to get over to Ireland where
they have had rains and where the
grass is green.

European seed trade reports as they
come to hand through New York im-
porting houses are very depressing.
In many sorts of seed it is no longer
a question of percentage of yield, but
whether or not the crop is a total fail-
ure.

The hot and dry weather in Belgium
has also had a disastrous effect on all
florists' plains, particularly azaleas,
which are undersized and stunted, and
the situation is very critical with pros-
pects most discouraging The weather
continues very hot and the shortage
of water has almost ruined some grow-
ers, who will have great difficulty in
filling contracts as to sizes and varie-
ties ordered. Vander Cruyssen and
Simon Mardner are among the varie-
ties most seriously affected.

A large German grower of lilacs
states that, in consequence of the un-
precedented heat and killing drought,
unprecedented in 77 years, pot lilacs
generally have suffered severely, the
foliage being burnt and the flower
"buds being stunted and imperfect, so
that the flowers must of necessity be
crippled. Lily of the valley, also, has
sustained a serious set-back and re-
ports from week to week are more and
more depressing. Many large fields
are more or less shrivelled up. and this
: i pop will lie short, with super-
ioi quality decidedly scarce.

From Japan we learn that the
Longinorum Giganteum crop seems to
be a failure, Merc being many very
imistic f ports from many growing
districts "Thunder shower rotting,
"plant louse." "withers," etc.. are
blamed for the trouble. We hope,
however, thai ay prove to be

tell.

A Correction.

The United States Seed Co. write us
that we were incorrectly informed as
to their moving to Memphis. The fact
that they were successors of the Plant
Seed Co., of St. Louis, in the garden
seed department, made it necessary to
have a chief wholesale distributing

point farther north and Memphis was
decided on. The Memphis office will
be the business headquarters, although
they are a Texas corporation.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
It is reported that the bureau of
plant industry of the Agricultural De-
partment has entered into negotiations
for the construction of a nine-story
building in the southwest section of
the city in which to transact its rapid-
ly growing business. While the report
is believed to be true, it has not been
verified.

A circular letter is soon to be sent
to each of the ladies who would be
eligible to membership, asking their
opinion as to the advisability of the
formation of a ladies' auxiliary of the
Washington Florists' Club. President
Mayberry is of the opinion that such
an organization, besides aiding in the
entertainment of the ladies, would
prove a large benefit to the club itself.

Quite a number of the clerks of the
local stores are availing themselves of
the vacation season to hie themselves
to various places away from the city
to forget the trials and tribulations of
their work. The following employes
of Gude Bros., are reported thus en-
joying themselves: Miss Nellie Bruen-
inger, for more than ten years in
charge of the office, is at Atlantic
City; Charles Scarboro is in Bucks
County, Pa., and Walter Haw Icy is at
Hoosicl Kalis. N. V.

pushing the bill through this session,
but as it was drafted by the Commis-
sioners of the District, the matter will
he taken up with them.

Two deaths were reported in the
city within a week, that of William
Radtke and J. H. Copeland, both gar-
deners. The case of the former was a
particularly sad one in that Mr.
Radtke and his wife had planned an
outing for the day on which his dead
body was discovered. It seems that
Mrs. Radtke had gone to bed leaving
her husband to complete the prepara-
tions for the outing. Upon awakening
in the morning she was startled to find
him missing. A search found him sit-
ting upon a chair in the kitchen, dead,
with gas pouring out from a discon-
nected tube of a gas stove. His death
was accidental J. H. Copeland died
at his home in Arlington, Va., at the
age of sixty-five vears. on August 13.
CLARENCE L. LINZ.

There is now pending before Cor
gress, a hill looking towards the tax-
ation of vaults located beneath side-
walks and streets which are occupying
public space. This is causing con-
siderable consternation among mer-
chants in all lines. The Chamber of
Commerce is taking the matter up
with a view to protesting against its
passage, and several of the florists
have preferred their aid. Z. D. Black-
istone is strongly opposed to such a
tax. and W. F. Gude states he will fill
up the vault rather than pay for it
Congress will probably adjourn before

PARK GARDENING.

Read before the Florists' Club of Phila-
delphia, August 1st. by Xavler i: i
Scbmltt

To cover the subject of park garden-
ing or park ornamentation would re-
quire a much more exhaustive essay
than the time allotted me would per-
mit, for in no sphere in which the gar-
dener or superintendent is interested,
is there a greater opportunity tor di-
versity, from a horticultural stand-
point.

In years gone bj the park was a por-
tion of territory sit aside for the ad-
miration of the passer-by and rarely
was it permissible to divert from the
pai lis or roads and commit the sin of
walking on the grass or even to step
near some shrub or plant to make
close inspection. Fortunately the rank
and file of the public who are suffi-
ly interested in our public parks
and pleasure grounds are now accord-
ed every opportunity to make a study
Of plants and trees to their satisfaction,
which has been a great uplift to the
public at large, because of the educa-
tional feature as well as recreation.

In view of this tendency and desir-
ing to interest the public in our parks
we must cater to their wants, or rather
introduce new features in floral ef-
fects to make our parks and pleasure
grounds inviting. Much is being done
to use every available space in the
heart of the cities in establishing rec-
reation parks and breathing spots for
those who will avail themselves of the
privilege of using that which the au-
thorities feel have become essential
factors for the welfare and comfort of
its citizens.

Park ornamental gardening has been
for many years a set form, i.e. carpet
bedding of high coloring, long lines of
strong contrast, and this continues to
be a leading feature which the visitors
admire as the chief attraction. Unfor-
tunately we cannot vary much in the

plants used as only certain varieties
can be used tor this work to advantage,
but we can change the design and have
variety, >\m though the species are
used from year to year,

A greater tendency has been of late
years to resorl more to narrow strips
or borders of unique design in
scroll work, and to eliminate large
beds of special designs. This from
two points of view is an advantage,
first lessening the number of plants in
the work and second, the narrow
scrolls or strips are easier kept in
shape. Evergreens are playing a very
important part in cluster beds even tor
color Itetinosporas, Piceas. Juniperus,
Biotas, Buxtts, Pinus, Taxus and
Thuyas (both pyramidal and buslt
forms) in particular, as they are not
only effective for color, but are also
interesting in decided character and
form. We count these beds as special
features along drives, and when prop-
erly grouped, they become beautiful
with age and symmetrical growth.
Shrubbery of every known variety can
be and is used to great advantage.
Where trees are not grouped enough
to form effect, the shrubs are used fo;
a period with the best results, although
they demand much care (and atten-
tion) to prevent their growing wildly
and with injury to themselves.

Interesting and varying features are
being adopted in many parks, as far as
planting and care is concerned. I re-
fer to the plan of beds, round, oval,
diamond, or star-shaped planted with
flowering or foliage plants, along the
walks and drives on either side, and
which are not duplicated except in one
or two instances where formality
leaves no other course; i. e. whatever
is planted in one bed is not dupli-
cated throughout the grounds; this not
only becomes interesting in itself but
is one of the strongest means of edu-
cation. For this purpose every va-
riety of annuals and perennials
can be used to advantage. I will
here name only a few of the

leading classes: Delphiniums, Paeo-
nies. Asters, Iris, Hollyhocks, Rud-
beckias, Hemerocallis, Phlox, Cam-
panulas, Helianthus. etc., also Rhodo-
dendron and Azalea groups. We are
constantly receiving inquiries from
park visitors, asking when certain
plants are at their best. This proves
to a great degree thai the public are
becoming observing and in many cases
these inquiries come from those who
have their own private places with
gardeners in charge.

Where conservatories are a part of
the park features much can be done
in periodical exhibitions of under glass
stock, which will keep up the visiting
during the entire year.

We must not lose sight of the fact
that the parks' most valuable resource
and asset is the tree; what would it
be without the variation of these tow-
ering monarchs in their charming
color throughout the year? The gar-
dener or superintendent is an artist
indeed who judiciously plants the
trees for future effects and in such
variety and variation that they will
group artistically and enhance their
charm as they advance in size with
age. Proper planting with open views
into the distance lures the pedestrian
and those in vehicles to all parts of the
grounds. With each years planting
we study the wea^ points and endeav-
or to overcome them for the succeed-
ing year. Sometimes our plans are
thwarted because of extraordinary sea-
sons of either moisture or drought, or
even some new or pernicious insect
which proves almost beyond control.
In all work of park gardening it must
be borne in mind that the most impor-
tant duty is that of timely preparation
for the next season. In Fairmouni
Park we are equipped with glass, forc-
ing houses frames, pits, etc. Failure
in producing the required quantity of
any one variety of plants often upsets
plans seriously, hence the importance
of having a supply beyond our actual
needs. We grow for the total bedding

The past wei k has
NEW YORK been one of the dull-

1 st of ili.. season.
I thing is stagnant, and the Bal-
timore Convention might as well have
extended over another week, so far as
the wholesalers' absence from the seat
of trade Is concerned. Roses are per-
haps the most humiliated and humil-
iating Item in the list. They are de-
cidedly had. and Qobodj wants them.
American Beauty is the only exception,
and in that respect it is but spas-
modic. Asters ami gladioli ring the
wind, sal.' channels, and are not worth
the eost oi sending them to market,
Ha' Bowers being small and unfinished,
a result oi th.. abnormal weather con-
ditions prevailing hitherto. Hy-
drangeas are being sent in in large
Quantities, also tritomas and other
hardy garden material, all of which
has an uphill struggle 10 get recogni-
tion in these dull times. The situa-
tion Just now is simply a patient ait
for a seasonable Improvement to de-
velop.

There was . ■ i j
PHILADELPHIA little improve-
ment in local
trading last week. The market ins
to be at its lowest ebb. The whole-
sale houses had the blues until a
little rift came in the clouds in the
shape of outside orders. The-, latter
gave a welcome fillip to the general
situation and relieved it somewhat.
But on the whole it was a poor week,
and we see no medals on any part of
it. Th. gr( at Bower at present I of
course, the asdr. There are some good
ones now We saw some beauties for
the lirst time this year at ivnnock
Bros. We wen- told that they were
grown by William Hidden, and we can
well believe it. as we hail tl
tunlty this time last year ol seeing
what he could do. in spots, there are
some other grades of asters that are
pretty good. They are Improving. In
regard to gladioli; these although on
the wane now — as to quanl
still coming in of excellent quality,
and meet with ready sale. The rose

and while in rather small supply,

Orchids very scarce; a' few good Cat-

Business has picked up

ST. LOUIS somewhat. and the

local retaihrs have

bought considerable stock dining the

last week, but daily consig nis

have been so heavy in asters, roses.
gladioli and tuberose spikes that there
is plenty left over. As to prices for
the various grades and varie ies we
can only say that they have been very
low. Tuberoses of the single ever-
blooming type are coming in in large
lots and are down to $1.00 per hun-
dred spikes, while ten days ago they
brought $:i.00 to J-I.oii per hundred.

A Tryout Greenhouse

We call it a "tryout" because the owner has rather extensive ideas of the size of
house he will eventually have, but he had us build this small one for him as a try-
out to prove to himself that a greenhouse gives all the fun and satisfaction we say-
it does. It is so located and arranged that it can be enlarged economically "and
lose none of its attractiveness. A plan that is planned ahead, as it were.
Perhaps you would like a tryout house?

If you write us at once we will send you a catalog by return mail and by a little
extra effort your house ought to be ready for use this winter.

LILIUM HARRISII

(The Q o r m u cf a Easter l_ i I y

l_ET~ US supply your- wants in Lilies -this season

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any. stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs. 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1.000.

9-11 inch bulbs. 100 to the case. $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Xephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-in. pots $0.50 each

Xephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 8-in. plants $1.00 to 1.50 each

ings that were ron ring April or May and

grown on by frequent shifts can now be planted out on
a bench in fibrous loam three parts aud well-rotted ma-
nure two parts, and, if the soil i- heavy, add about one-
fifth of sand, for they arc very impatient of stagnant
moisture at the roots. Planl them about ten inches
apart and give thorn a Byringing every good day, but at
the same time be very careful not to over-water. Those
that are in >r pot culture should be given a light

bench now, so as to insure a g 1 break and later on to

give both color and substance to the flowers. When the
flower- bei hi at the axils of the leaves the

plants should have some manure water about once a
week which will enlarge the bracts in size an
highly their coloring. U I - are cut around the

holidays, you can have another > ut by April.

Llf.tr.M CAN]

These bulbs should be potted up as soon as they are
received because leaf and roots are often made while

are in transit. They can be either potted
into 6-inch pots or three to five bulbs can be put into
an 8 or 10-inch pot. Give tl em a good watering after
they are planted, but afterw: I tl em i' out before

giving any more water, as the bulbs will rot if given too
much water at first. The best place to stand the pots is
in a frame on some coal ashes, where they can remain
until cool weather arrives with sufficient Beverity to firm
the soil in the pots. After this a covering will be di
able so as not toalkffi the po break. Candidun
not force well until of January, so it is

well not to attempt n bi Eore • date.

NEXT YEAR'S \ -TOCK

[Tow is the proper time to make a liberal sowing in
red, pink and white whii to be the colors mo.-t in

demand. Make up a compost of equal parts of well-
decayed fibrous loam and leaf-mold, with enough of sand
to make it porous. Wide shallow pans are the best to
use. Whether pans or flats are used see that they are
well drained. Fill up to within 1^4 inch of the rim and
press the material moderately firm. On this place about
half an inch of the sifted mixture and make the surface
smooth. Now sow the seeds as evenly over it as possible

ami then pn ■ the soil. Sifl a little cov-

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF

NEW YORK.
The New York Horticultural Society

held the last of their summer flower
shows for this season in the Museum
Building of th< New York Botanical
Garden on August 26 and 27. The
highest commendations are due the
ol gladioli; not merely for the
excellence of the blooms, but for the
manner in which they support these
large and small flower shows. In the
!,,r largest and best collection of
named gladiodi, .John Lewis Childs
won first with 5€ vases, the most at-
tractive varieties being Aline. Alaska,
Nezinseeott. Rosella, LaGraden and
Princeps. Arthur Cowee came second
with In vases of fine flowers, among
which shone out Cracker Jack, Peace,
Lal.una. Rosella. Afterglow and Cali-
fornia. For best 12 varieties A. La-
hodny was awarded first. The most
prominent were Evolution. White
Lady, Leo Erron, Mrs. F. King, La-
Luna. Wild Rose, Dora Krais, Prin-
ceps, St. Louis and I. S. Hendrickson.
Second prize went to P. W. Papp. On
25 spikes of any white variety, first
prize was easilv captured by "Roches-
ter White," sent by Jacob Thomann &
Sons Rochester, X. Y., and from its
appearance here we classify it as the
best for general florists' use. Second
went to John Lewis Childs for vase of
Mine Best 25 spikes of any pink va-
riety went to Fascination, grown by
E S Miller. Wading. River. X. Y.;
„d to John Lewis Childs with Wm.
Falconer. In the class for non-com-
mercial growers A. Lahodny won all
the first prizes. In the class for
largest and best collection of named
varieties he staged about 75 vases ot
splendid flowers in almost as many va-
rieties P. W. Papp was second with
some pretty but smaller flowered sorts.
On six spikes of any white variety Mr.
Lahodnv won first with Reve de la.
Anjou, and in pink he got first with
Panama. E. S. Miller, in a special
class exhibited a collection ot 20 vases
in as many varieties of seedings

let stripe. We must not forget his

Frank Banning, Kinsman. Ohio, ex-
hibited a vase of that grand tew pin-.
Panama. We were informed that it
arrived a little too late to compete in
the class calling for pink and in con-
sequence lost that award. In the water
lily section Wm. Tricker won all hon-
ors showing 25 varieties of nym-
phaeas His Nelumbiums were elegant,
as usual. Mr. Tricker also exhibited a
pretty collection of tea roses, also spe-
cial "displays in aquatic and semi-
aquatic flora.

an appreciative audience.

FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHINGTON.

The florists of Washington last

week were called upon to perform a

very sad duty, that of escorting the
body of their friend, Joseph R. Free-
man, to his last resting place. At a
special meeting of the club, called
on the 23d. the following resolution
was adopted:

Whereas death has robbed the Florists'
el,-,!, ,,r one ol its charter members who
has tor years been an active and loyal
supporter' ol our body— a man ol integrity,
;> citizen ol standing and probity, "in- ot

the former presidents of Hi ganizatlon

and a friend ever rendj in time ol i <l :

therefore, i"- it .„.,_.. ,.. ,

Res ,ivi d by the Florists Club ot w ash-
iugton n C, in special session assembled,
tbat we mourn the loss ol Joseph It. Free-

,, and tender to bis bereaved family our

sincere sympathy in their days of afflic-
tion ; be it further

Resolved, That tins,- resolutions be in
scribed upon our minutes, a copy furnished
the family ol our late member, and thai
our organization attend the funeral set
vices in a body.

Perhaps no flotist in this part of the
country was as popular and well liked
as was Mr. Freeman. Every florist of
this city who was in town and many
florists who are located outside of the
city attended the funeral and each
one of them felt that they had indeed
lost a dear friend. The S. A. F. & O.
H. was represented by Mr. Wm. F.
Gude its Xational representative.

CONNECTICUT HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

At the meeting of this Society on
the evening of August 25, the coming
dahlia show was discussed and prepa-
rations pushed along.

President John F. Huss spoke enter-
tainingly of his trip through the West,
after attendance at the annual con-
vention of the American Society of
Park Superintendents. Mr. Huss was
away sixteen days. His description
of Minneapolis and other cities de-
clared them beautiful. Minneapolis,
one of the greatest cities in the West,
now has green lawns, possesses three
very attractive lakes, and a fine resi-
dential section. 'Thousands of boats
bearing illumination by night present
a fairyland which Mr. Huss likened
to Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. Mr.
Huss went to Omaha from Minneap-
olis, and from Omaha to Kansas City,
which has a park 100 miles square.
Then he saw Denver and the Garden
of the Gods, and Pike's Peak. So
beautiful was the verdure that he was
impelled to remove his hat. Mines,
irrigation and broad corn fields en-
tered into his description.

Geo. W. Smith and J. A. Webber were
appointed to draw up and present
resolutions on the death of Win. B.
May, a life member of the Society.

CHICAGO CLUB'S SILVER ANNI-
VERSARY.

The Chicago Florists' Club will soon
be twenty-five years old, having been
organized Nov. 3, 1886, soon after it
was decided to have the third S. A. F.
convention held there. This will make
the meeting of the S. A. F. here next
vear also a 25th anniversary. No steps
have been taken vet by the Chicago
Florists' Club to celebrate its silver an-
niversary, but it has planned for a
chrysanthemum show at its regular
meeting in Xovember and no doubt
something appropriate to the day will
be added.

WISCONSIN STATE HORTICULTUR-
AL SOCIETY.

The summer meeting of the Wis-
consin State Horticultural Society,
held at Oshkosh on Wednesday and
Thursday, was attended by about 100
members and visitors. William Toole
of Baraboo read a paper on "Amateur
Floral Decorations," and Marcia How-
lett of Oshkosh one on "Flowers for
the Farmer." H. Hampson and A.
Martini, professional gardeners from
Lake Geneva, read papers on "Lilies"
and "Roses." C. L. Richardson of
Stanley gave a review of how state
laws affect members of the society.
The work done by the University of
Wisconsin in the line of horticulture
was outlined by Profs. Moore, Sanders
and Jones.

Dr. Victor Kutchin of Green Lake
talked on "Conservation of Bird Life,"
and Sydney Telis of Chicago spoke on
"Play and Playgrounds."

There was a large and creditable ex-
hibition of fruit, vegetables and flow-
ers. J. P. Roe of Oshkosh took the
largest number of first premiums on
fruits and flowers. There was a tie
between Mr. Roe and Robert Mehlman.
Mrs. D. D. Howlett stood next in
number of first premiums. In vege-
tables, N. A. Rasmusen of Oshkosh
took by far the greatest number of
first premiums, next to him being C.
P. Phillipson, also of Oshkosh.

With regard to the entire exhibit,
special attention will be given to its
educational possibilities. To accom-
plish this the co-operation of the vari-
ous agricultural colleges and experi-
ment stations has been invited, and
there will be exhibits, for example, of
the various plant diseases and insect
enemies, the most approved methods
of pruning, trimming trees, spraying.
etc. There will be a series of free
lectures or talks on various farming
topics by men of eminence whose
names will be announced later.

A VISIT TO CEDAR ACRES.

On Saturday, August 26, members
of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club
of Boston and of the North Shore
Horticultural Society to the number
of fifty visited the gladiolus fields of
B. Hammond Tracy at Cedar Acres,
Mass. They found the fields and a
display of cut blooms in excellent con-
dition. There were many promising
seedlings that came in for admiration
and as for such named varieties as
Daybreak, luminous salmon pink; San-
guine, vermilion scarlet; Niagara,
creamy yellow; Elizabeth Kurtz, white
flushed with pink; Dawn, glowing sal-
mon pink; Mrs. Francis King, vermil-
ion; Princess Sanderson, white; Har-
vard, crimson, and a host of other
beauties, it is doubtful if they have
ever been seen to better advantage,
soil and culture seeming to be ideal.

After going over the fields and
through the packing rooms, where all
varieties were staged under name, a
buffet lunch was served and some ap-
preciative speeches made, after which
some of the flowers were distributed
to the visitors and a return home
made by special car.

The Apple Growers' Convention met
in St. Louis last week at the Plant-
ers' Hotel. The meeting was well at-
tended. L. A. Goodman, secretary of

During Recess

Tuxedo Horticultural Society.

This Society held their outing and
clambake at Hillburn, N. Y., on Wed-
nesday, August 23rd. The ideal
weather brought out a large number
of gardeners and friends, who were
conveyed in stages, the distance being
about ten miles.

After some refreshment the boys'
and girls' races, single and married
ladies' race, single ladies' three-legged
race, married and single men's races,
high jump, broad jump, and 100-yaru
dash were well contested, furnishing
plenty of fun for the spectators.

The clambake was then served un-
der the shade of the trees. A great
reception was given to Karl D. Schaef-
fer, the first president of the Society,
who just arrived and was received by
President D. S. Miller and other offi-
cers of the Society. After the group
had been photographed the second
part of the program was started. A
football match between the married
and single men with Charles McTag-
gart of Marshall & Co., and J. Muller
of Julius Roehrs as umpires, was won
by the single men. In the fat men's
race, the first heat was a tie between

Tuxedo II irtieultural s ■
men, was postponed for a future day,
but a little bout between picked nines
was indulged in and it was amateur
ball to the mark.

Other events and winners were as
follows:

100 yard dash — Saugster, Walter, Relchert.

Buffalo Florists' Club Outing.

The annual outing and picnic was
held at Erie Beach on Thursday last
and as a "Basket Picnic" it proved a
success. In former years it has been
the custom to hold a banquet or din-
ner at the end of the day but as there
has been frequent protests on this
form from year to year, the commit-
tee had decided a change as a tryout.
It was a success considering the very
inclement weather, a drizzling rain
beginning early in the day and ceas-
ing at 3.30 in ample time to run off the
events on the long programme. A
picnic is never complete without the
children and it was partly Children's

THE PRIVATE GARDENER.

A paper read by Wm. Ducknam before the

S. A. F. ami 0. II. Ml II:, Inn

I was much surprised and pleased
to receive from your secretary an in-
vitation to read a paper on the sub-
ject of the "Gardener." I am also
glad to note that your society has hon-
ored my profession — the first time, I
believe, in the history of your organ-
ization that it has been directly and
distinctly recognized. This may part-
ly account for the lack of interest of
the gardener in your society and his
failure to become a member in large
numbers. Not to my knowledge has
there been a general appeal to the
gardeners to join the S. A. F. & O. H.

For some reason or other only a few
gardeners hold membership in the S.
A. F. & O. H., although the idea pre-
vailing in the minds of some, that
they are not wanted, is erroneous.
Fuiniamentally our Society is a trade
organization, and the mere addition of
"Ornamental Horticulturists" to the
Society's title has added very little
and few members.

The national flower shows held in
the past have been well supported by
the gardener and these exhibits have
been much appreciated by your So-
ciety. These exhibitions should be
well supported by every one in the
allied trades and professions in which
we are so much interested and I trust
that many such exhibitions will be
held in the future.

The relation between the private
gardener and the florist is of the very
nearest, and easily traced, for you
have only to look in any direction and
you will find some of the most suc-
cessful florists of this country who
have graduated from the ranks of the
private gardener. It is not my inten-
tion to enumerate or name all of them
any more that it is to omit any names,
but a few come to my mind who start-
ed their career as private gardeners
and such training as they then re-
ceived is admitted by them to have
always been a help to them in their
business.

Their names as they come to me at
this time are J. N. May, E. G. Hill,
J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Thomas Roland,
Peter Fisher, F. L. Atkins, A. T. Bod-
dington, C. H. Totty, and unless I am
mistaken the late Peter Henderson
started his career as a private garden-
er and perhaps gave more and better
advice to young men than any one
else, and many today, whether florist
or gardener, owe to him a large meas-
ure of their success and all over this
broad land his influence is still felt.

The private gardener has done his
part in the development and advance-
ment of this country, both by his work
directly and indirectly, for any estate
he has charge over his work comes
directly to his employer and the ma-
jority of them take a keen delight in
having his place well kept, growing
and producing flowers, vegetables and
fruits, and to have all this a little bet-
ter than his neighbor. Then again
where there are such places of this

NEW HARDY VINES.

The accompanying illustration shows
a collection of Chinese ornamental
vines in pots, grown at Aldenham

dener to Hon. Vicary Gibbs, from
seeds collected by E. H. Wilson on the
Arnold Arboretum's first expedition to
China, and presented by Professor C.
S. Sargent.

kind the community in general and
the trade benefits by it. I have never
yet heard anyone say that he did not
love the flowers, no matter how much
he might dislike some other things,
and while those who cannot have a
large garden, do try, and do have, and
imitate those of larger proportions,
therefore I claim the work of the gar-
dener has a most refining and broad-
ening influence in every locality, and
has done much towards making this a
better land, and a better world.

As much as the private gardener has
done for horticulture there remains
much he could do and I refer to the
most interesting branch of hybridiz-
ing. Some has been done I admit, but
in my opinion he has neglected his
opportunities. The cause of all this
I am unable to explain, but it occurs
to me the most of it can be laid to
lack of interest or indifference, for
surely a number of ' gardeners have
the time and convenience, for it can-
not be said he doesn't know how.
There might have been some excuse
for this twenty or thirty years ago,
but conditions then and now are very
much changed. I don't mean by this
that gardeners are any better today,
but there are very many more large
estates where opportunity presents it-
self that were not in evidence at that
time, and I urge the gardeners to give
this more consideration and do your
part towards the advancement of hor-
ticulture.

One has not to look far to see what
can be done. For example, the roses
raised by M. H. Walsh in the past
few years have startled the world. I
am unable to say how much time and
thought Mr. Walsh devoted to this
work, but if he spent his whole life he
would feel well repaid in giving the
world varieties of roses that otherwise
might never have been born, and all
honor to the man who raised Excelsa,
Delight, Lady Gay and Hiawatha, etc.,
and who at this time I believe to be
in the ranks of tr^e private gardener.
Then let us take courage and set our

minds to doing something that will be
a joy and pleasure to others as well
as to ourselves.

Novelties or something new always
attract the gardener and you will find
him among the first to try or test
these, no matter whether flower, vege-
table or plant, he is ever eager to se-
cure them and when one stops to con-
sider, it seems inexplicable, the lack of
interest or utter indifference, that it
appears almost criminal, then let us
create or at least try and improve
some flower or plant over what we
found it.

Since the gardener has become bet-
ter known and more generally ap-
preciated by his employer a mutual
feeling has sprung up between the
two. This is true in a great many
ways and is as it should be, and
comes as the first aid to our social ana
moral status. In our profession, let
the man who has the opportunity,
show by precept and example to the
less informed, and particularly to the
young man under his charge, that
moral influence so necessary for the
upbuilding of our honored calling. For
they are the men who will be called
upon to carry on the work where we
are compelled to lay it down. Whether
he be florist or gardener let us beware
that we grasp more of our opportuni-
ties and take our stand where we
rightfully belong.

longing to our Society with a staff of
practical men, and consider what a
training school for young men such a
garden would bo and the beneficial re-
sults that would follow as efficient
well trained men became available for
positions in private or commercial
places. Our ranks are being constant-
ly recruited by importations from Eu-
rope, because of the degree of
efficiency these recruits possess. We
lack the facilities to give our young
men practical training in a manner
that appeals to them with the assur-
ance of an endorsement upon proved
competency; this would also be a sub-
stantial aid to material advancement.

The working staff of the Royal Hor-
ticultural Society's garden is largely
composed of students who, for a small
remuneration, work and study with
facilities not to be had in the ordinary
private and commercial place. Per-
haps the best testimony of the
efficiency of the Royal Horticultural
Society's work along these lines is
that it has been continuous for over
fifty years, that the trials of fruits,
vegetables and flowers conducted
therein have been most beneficial to
horticulture and a large number of the
R. H. S. men hold positions of promi-
nence in all parts of the world and one
of them is a director of the S. A. F.
at this time and another prominently
mentioned for your presidency.

This it seems to me at some future
time could be started in some good
and practical way by the members of
this splendid organization and men
would be willing to finance such a
project, and there are plenty of them
in the S. A. F., and it would greatly
help the florist and gardener in the
ever increasing and perplexing ques-
tion of securing efficient help.

Some may say while there are
plenty of men coming from the other
side what is the use of all this, but it
must be remembered that a good deal
of chaff gets in with the wheat.

I have failed to know the reason so
few gardeners are members of the S.
A. F., whether because each locality
has its own local society that they
think by being a member it is all that
is necessary and feel content with
local conditions, but its effects are
soon evident and instead of broaden-
ing his usefulness, narrows It and
soon becomes dormant. If it were pos-
sible for all the societies to amalga-
mate with the S. A. F., and I see no
reason for not doing so, then I believe
our local societies would also be In-
corporated with the above and then
perhaps the gardeners would become a
part of the S. A. P., as in my opinion
they should be.

Several attempts have already been
made. I believe, to form a gardeners'
society and one has been organized,
but with what degree of success I do
not know, any more than I believe the
time to be opportune for such a con-
solidation of florists and gardeners
for the mutual and best interests of
all, and one that would make of our
P. A. F. such a national organization
that would easily become the greatest
of its kind in the world.

In conclusion 1 might say that I
shall do all in my power to advance
the interests of your society, and will
also endeavor to interest as many of
my profession as possible and explain
to them the broadness and scope of
your organization and the good work
it is carrying on.

Pennock Bros, have completed an
enlargement of their office facilities
which is not only an elegant addition
to their store but will also allow a

no doubt result. Volunteers who may
wish to interject their personal
opinions will be respectfully recogniz-

so. But of course there is a limit — and

Take notice that he has been officially

is to order early.

Our stocks of Christmas-Flowering Sweet Peas have stood the test for years, and we can refer you to the largest
growers of this Increasingly popular flower, as to the trueuess and quality of our seed, earliness of blooming period,
and strength and habit of plants.

The following varieties are the "b est by test" and include Zvolanek's and our own introductions, grown for
seed from selected stocks by the leading California Growers and Specialists of Sweet Peas. Our output last year was nearly 6000 lbs.

PARK GARDENING.

Bead before the Florists' Club of Puila-

flelphia, August 1st, by Xavier E. E.

Sclimitt.

{Continued from page joq)

It has been our aim to have as much
variety as possible and we find that
oftentimes a small group gives a great
deal of pleasure to the public, if of
things that are not met with in the or-
dinary lines of the trade. Orchids come
in for a lot of inquiry as most people
have in mind only cattleyas and a few
cypripediums as orchids and it is a
revelation when they see some small-
flowered or curious orchid in bloom.

The planting commences with pan-
sies and daisies and a few other spring
flowering plants about April 10th
which is about the earliest with us
that planting can be done, followed by
geraniums in the middle of May, and
by the beginning of June all kinds can
be planted. Then in the fall we plant
the tulips just as fast as we can so
that they can make some roots before
the ground freezes over. We plant
Mav-nowering tulips in groups among
shrubbery, also in colors in beds along
with singles, making a succession
which is very pleasing and prolongs
the season. They are useful where
they are succeeded by foliage beds. In
fact I always advocate the planting of
bulbs of all kinds as such handsome
sffects can be obtained for such a
.imall outlay.

For a number of years wt have been
paying attention to cacti and other
succulents, (of which we have aboul
500 species and hybrids) an 1 keep a
large set of beds for them with a de-
signed ground cover devoted to these
during the summer and fall. It is re-
markable to note the number of visit-
ors who come to inspect these. They
ate odd, grotesque and most decidedly
peculiar as plants, all visitors will
spead some time admiring them.

We also give some attention to
aauauc plants among which the fol-
lowing stand out preeminently — Nym-
phaea, hardy and tender ones com-
bined; the stately Nelumbiums. the
two Victorias and many other minor
aquatic plants are used. Centennial
Lake is one of the handsomest in the
park, where can be seen N. odorata by

the thousands the surface of the water
fairly covered with floating stars.

One class of plants which I will
touch on before closing is the Ram-
bling Roses, which are used over un-
sightly cliffs and enbankments where
undesirable trespassing in the latter
as well as beautifying in both can be
obtained. It would be a grand sight
to come across what had previously-
been an unsightly wall of rocks to find
them transformed with draping ot
beautiful green followed by a sheet of
blooms later on and in the fall cov-
eted l.y brilliant clusters of fruit
which will last nearly all winter
Among these I would mention Lady-
Gay, Dorothy Perkins, Gardenia, Ever-
green Gem and in fact, all the Wichu-
raiana hybrids and many others.

I believe from an educational poin
of view the Public Park and its sys-
tem has much to do in the education o

the people. Many schools in and
around our city visit the park very fre-
quently by entire classes accompanied
by their teachers to study plant life
from nature, also a great number come
from afar to study it and to admire.
They imbibe civic piide, and adopt as
nearly as means will permit, better
conditions surrounding their own
homes, — the most frequent visitors are
that class of people. On the other hand,
opening the whole park to the pub-
lic and allowing the ireedom of every
pait of the grounds for public use (with
us there are only a few places where
people are not allowed on the grass) is
the strongest health feature and one
which the parks alone afford. Par;?
gardening requires many-sided abili-
ties, which when practiced by the up-
to-date gardener gives to the visitors
from other cities impressions deep and
lasting.

BRITISH HORTICULTURE.
Secret Commissions.

At one time the pernicious habit of
seedsmen granting commissions to
gardeners, according to i li « ■ extent of
the orders placed with them, was
largely in vogue in this country. Even
the firms opposed to this unsatisfac-
tory method of business-getting were
Obliged to fall into line with their
competitors. The passing of the Pre-
vention of Corruption Act largely put
a stop to this system, the Nursery-
men's Trade Society using their in-
fluence to secure the carrying out of
the stringent provisions of the meas-
ure. That the illicit form of trading
still exsits in a smaller degree is now
proved by a letter which has lately
been issued by Mr. R. M. Leonard,
the Secretary of the Secret Commis-
sions and Bribery Prevention League,
who has been instructed by his com-
mittee to warn people against the
practice of certain foreign firms who
are in the habit of offering Ilritish
gardeners a secret commission. "One
catalogue, for which I have to thank
an honest gardener," Mr. Leonard
states "has the words written upon
an inside page in pencil, '5 per cent,
discount for head gardeners.' Another
firm, which exports bulbs, has just
written to a gardener asking for his
private address. Illustrations of such
practices might easily be multiplied,
but the object of this letter is to put
those who employ gardeners on their
guard, as some of the offending firms
have neither agents nor travelers in
this country; and the Prevention of
Corruption Act, which prevents
British firms from giving secret com-
missions affords no remedy in such
cases." It is to be hoped that this
timely reminder will be effectual in
checking this mischievous evasion of
a necessary law.

Experiments in Tobacco Growing.

Some interesting experiments have
been carried out at the South Kastern
Agricultural College at Wye, Kent,
with a view to testing the possibility
of growing tobacco for insect icidal
purposes. These trials demonstrated
conclusively that tobacco can be
grown to maturity in this country, and
that with a suitable variety and a good
soil a satisfactory crop can be ob-
tained. Of the two species of tobacco
commonly grown for smoking pur-
poses 20 varieties were tested, the seed
being obtained from the United States,
the Transvaal, India, Italy, and Ire-
land. An ordinary garden frame con-
sisting of three "lights" and resting on
a hot-bed was found a suitable form
of seed-bed. The season's results show
that an average yield may be ■ \pected
of from 1,600 to 2,000 pounds dry to-
bacco leaves, excluding the sta^s. Al-
lowing 4 per cent, of nicotine, this
works out at 64 to 80 pounds nicotine
per acre. The best method of extrac-
tion is still being investigated, but
soaking the cut up leaves in water is
quite effective in extracting the great-
er portion of the nicotine.

NEWS NOTES.

Atlanta, Ga.— The McMillan Seed
Company has moved into new and
larger quarters at 27 South Broad St.
This firm began business in Atlanta in
1S77 when the company was estab-
lished by the father of J. C. McMillan.
the present manager and has devel-
oped a large trade throughout the
south.

It is reported that a move is on foot
to organize the vegetable forcing green-
house establishments in northeastern
Ohio, with Youngstown as a selling
centre, to control market prices on the
product. The combination, if such
does exist, has been carried on with
great secrecy and many denials of the
newspaper rumors are made.

In olden times every man car-
ried a sword, which was neces-
sary for purposes of honor and
self-preservation. When a man
wanted to show another his
intentions were peaceable he
extended his right hand, signi-
fying he was at the mercy of
the other by giving up his
fighting arm. If the other re-
ciprocated he, too, extended
his fighting arm and they
grasped hands as a token of
mutual trust aud friendship.
Now there are various kinds of
handshakes — some vigorous,
denoting strength, much of the
mediocre kind, as though it
was more a duty than a volun-
tary salute; but the limit is the
fish-hand — have you ever held
one? Well, it feels like you
were handling the entrails of a
chicken — a sort of a s-limy-
where - are - you feeling, that
leaves with you the impression
that the poor fellow was weaned
too soon — a sort of human
pancake batter. Now, good,
sound, solid lily bulbs are like
a good, sound, solid handshake
— not made in a biscuit mould,
but by nature good stuff: but
the other kind are just like the
fish-hand. Shake hands with
the Horseshoe Brand bulbs —
it's worth your while to try
them.

Seed Trade

The Bean Crop.
With the exception of beans and
corn, seed crops are now practically
made for this year, although it may be
some weeks before accurate informa-
tion as to the percentages of the va-
rious items which will be delivered on
contracts can be given. Beans are al-
most matured but there are some late
plantings which will require some ten
days or two weeks more to fully reach
maturity. Any beans remaining green
after the 15th of September will be in
'•cold storage'' and never will mature.
We believe that barring a wet harvest
there will be beans enough to meet all
requirements and samples should be
fine. It is possible that two or three of
the more fancy varieties will be some-
what short, but taken as a whole there
will be no famine in beans this year.

strain their impatience and give the
growers time to learn something defi-
nite about their crops.

Corn, Peas and Root Crops.
We have heretofore, reported early
varieties of sweet corn as being in poor
condition, all indications pointing to a
short crop. Of medium early and late
varieties, there will probably be fair
crops, especially, should frost hold off
until past the middle of September. It
cannot be denied that corn is late, and
a severe frost within the next two
weeks would probably cause very se-
rious damage. With reference to gar-
den beets, mangels, carrots and root
crops in general, we can only repeat
what we have previously said, that
there will be a severe shortage in near-
Ij all lines but cannot give any more
definite information at this writing.
We hope to be able to say something
more next week. Under pressure from
their customers, a few growers of peas
have sent out estimates of what they
expect to deliver on contracts, but
such estimates are not very reliable
and when final deliveries are made,
they are likely to show a difference of
from 10 to 20 per cent, either way and
possibly even more.

About Contract Deliveries.
It is of course, excusable in buyers
to want to learn as early as possible
what will be delivered on their con-
tracts. At the same time, they should
realize that any estimate furnished at
this date can be little more than a
guess, and is based entirely on field
estimates which vary as to results
from ten to forty per cent. Should the
growers' figures be too high and he
finds he cannot deliver the percent-
ages named in his preliminary esti-
mates, the buyer is liable to feel that
he has been misled or that the grower
is not giving him a square deal. On
the other hand, if he underestimates
and delivers a larger percentage, it isx
sometimes unsatisfactory, as the buyer
will say that he has covered his short-
age based on the preliminary estimates.
We believe it is the duty of growers to
inform their customers of the general
progress of crops in which they are in-
terested but when it comes down to es-
timating precentages, it is quite an-
other matter, and growers are fully
justified in declining to give figures
until they can do so with actual
knowledge of what their crops are go-
ing in yield. This is an old story and
one that is gone over ever; j'ear and
probably will be an annual incident in
the business until buyers learn to re-

Crop Report From Holland.

The 1911 Crop Report from Sluis &
Groot, Enkhuizen, Holland, 'gives the
following information:

The winter was very mild so that all
perennials could stand it well, but a
continuous drought caused trouble and
many remained weak. In spring we
got a heavy frost which, although not
so fatal as in other parts of Europe,
has also done much harm. Radish,
cress, mustard, turnips and cauli-
flower, which at first seemed to be to-
tally lost, gradually recovered them-
selves, and those annuals that were
wholly destroyed could be re-sown.
After this we got very favorable
weather which, with the nice rain in
June, did much good to crops that were
yet looking very poor, and restored
them, so that generally speaking the
stand, though not brilliant, may be
called satisfactory.

Beans Dwarf. — Average stand, suf-
fered much from drought, may re-
cover.

Beans Running. — Stand under mid-
dling, partly threatened by disease and
only a small crop expected.

Beans English. — Very much dam-
aged by lice, and the yield will be un-
der middling.

Beets. — Stand is general unsatisfac-
tory.

Cabbage, White and Red. — Contin-
ual drought in spring kept the plants
backward and some even perished.
The further development was satisfac-
tory. The crop in general will be un-
der middling we think.

Savoy, Brussels Sprouts, Borecole. —
In general a little better. We expect
a good average crop.

Cauliflower. — Has suffered from
frost, notwithstanding may give an
average crop.

Celeriac. — Did not grow in spring.
Shows many open places and promises
but a small crop.

Chervil. — A considerable part of the
plantations has been lost. The re-
mainder produced a good crop.

Corn salad. — A large acreage was
sown, but a good deal got lost on
account of the great heat. Little more
than half crop.

Cucumber. — There is a good stand
until now, and may produce a good
crop.

Garlic Bulbs. — Good.

Kohl Rabi. — Only a small area
planted. Stand under average.

Mangel Wurtzel, Sugar Beets. — Few
planted, which partly developed un-
satisfactory and we expect therefore
a small crop.

Onions. — But a small area planted.
Stand satisfactory.

Parsley, Parsnip, Peas. — Stand satis-
factory.

Radish Summer. — There is a good
stand until now.

Radish Winter — Partly satisfactory,
mostly bad.

Spinach — Promise a moderate crop.

Scorsonera. — Produced a satisfac-
tory crop.

Swedes, Turnips. — Both suffered
much from frost in spring and are
promising but a small average crop.
Some turnips badly damaged by worms
in the pods. Many plantations yield
one fourth or less than average crop.

Flower seeds. — Although the weather
for flower seeds in general was not
equally good, the present standing of
the crop gives anticipation for being
in every respect satisfactory.

Notes.

Clarence Kennerly, formerly of Kan-
sas City, Mo., has taken an interest in
the Alexandra Seed Co. of Augusta,
Ga.

H. W. Gordinier of Troy, has had
some little difficulty in settling with
the insurance companies on his recent
loss by fire. We understand Mr. Gor-
dinier and the insurance adjusters
could not get together on the value of
the salvage in seeds and as a conse-
quence all seeds in the establishment,
prior to the fire have been disposed of
and he receives the full inventory
value of the same.

The Mott Seed Co. have moved from
Watervliet to Troy, N. Y., and are now
within a block of the city market, iu
a very excellent location and should
do a largely increased business. The
aim of this concern is to furnish the
highest possible grades of seeds re-
gardless of cost and we believe there
will be a sufficient number of buyers
who will appreciate this fact to make
their business a success.

The aster seed crop in Germany is
in bad shape. From February on un-
til middle of July there was almost no
rain and the plants were simply dried
up. The situation is especially un-
fortunate as last year the summer
weather came too late and seriously
affected germination so that there was
no stock to carry over. Asters require
a slow, cool, moist summer to give the
qualities of substance and size in the
flower and to produce seed that will
give good results. In a warm climate
the seed crop may be better as to
quantity but the quality is not there.

CELERY PLANTS FOR THE SOUTH

Iti Xorth Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and
other states, celery plants can he put out
now and be able to compete with the North
for the high price celery will bring this

states. I have some small plants for $2.50
per thousand. Also very large plants.

CHICAGO NOTES.
Florists' August Record.
The last of August was hailed with
delight by the florists, who were anx-
ious to have the dull season closed. The
month seems to have been as much a
surprise as July from the sales stand-
point. Nearly all broke their previous
records for heavy sales in July and
naturally expected a good August but
instead had one of the dullest months
in their experience. Those who are
willing to admit that the basis of the
florists' business rests upon the funeral
work may see some conned ion be-
tween the show sales of August and
the fact that an unusually small num-
ber of deaths occurred that month and
that July business was caused by the
great number of deaths following the
excessive heat of June.

Activity at Wittbold's.

At the Geo. Wittbold place at Edge-
brook the stir of early fall season is
seen everywhere. Cases of Livistonia
rotundifolia from the Hawaiian Islands
and latania seed from the South are
being unpacked and the French and
Dutch bulbs are already in the earth.
From the overflowing coal sheds to the
drooping gladiolus beds were seen evi-
dences of the close of the summer sea-
son which has been a very good one
here.

The fourth crop of rubrum lilies is
now ready for cutting and last week
the first chrysanthemums, Golden
Glow and Smith's Advance; the latter,
a white which so far is not satisfactory
— were sent to market. This company
grows 12,000 chrysanthemum plants,
early, medium and late, which will
give continuous cut till the holidays.

Annual Luxemburg.

As is usual at this season several of
the florists on the "Ridge" are prepar-
ing for the fruit and flower festival on
Sept. 3 and 4 to be held at Karthauser's
Grove.

Trade Notes.

The Chicago Carnation Co. cut their
first carnations of the season this
week — flowers 2% and 3 inches in di-
ameter, a large bloom for late August.

Otto W. Frese says he is fully satis-
fied with the way the new business is
opening up with the Chicago Flower
Growers' Association. They opened at
the dullest month in the year but ship-
ping trade has advanced steadily from
the first.

The E. H. Hunt Co. is .selling out
the cuts for its labor saving device

in Elgin and were fortunate in not
being on the grand stand which col-
lapsed.

E. J. Reynolds and Joe Georgeault of
San Francisco, Cal., who are visiting
here will remain if they secure satis-
factory positions. The former lived
here some years ago.

Miss M. Wattman of Amling's has
returned from an eastern trip covering
Nova Scotia, the St. Lawrence River
and New York. Miss Gunderberg who
went with her will be home soon.

Peter Olsem, foreman for the Chicago
Carnation Co., seems to have snatcheu
all the honors of the Chicago Bowling
Club at the convention. His friends
all congratulate him on his ability to
walk off with three handsome prizes,
the $75 diamond medal for highest
man of each team, eight competing;
the W. W. Barnard cup which he won
last year at Rochester and now this
year at Baltimore, making it his, and
the F. C. Bauer cup for greatest num-
ber of spares.

Flower Market Reports.

A week of almost steady
BOSTON tain is August's parting
gift, Very grateful we
should be, no doubt, bin om is dis-
posed to cry "hold, enough." A re-
sult, not without some satisfaction, is
the enforced return of many people
from the raw dreariness of the sea-
shore and mountain in stub weather
and that should tend to start some
little animation in the flower demand,
which is something sorely needed. No
sign yet of any improvement, however,
as the present week has been the dul-
lest of the month, and the wholesale
markets are heaped high with asters
of all qualities — some excellent but
the majority quite the reverse. The
latter cannot be sold, especially in
colored varieties, except in bulk for
scarcely enough to pay for the double
of picking. Tea roses are still very
slow to move and Beauties are not
much better, even when quality is all
right. A little briskness is noted,
however, in the new sorts such as
Lady Hillingdon and Radiance. A few
carnations are seen here and there.

Little or no improve-
BUFFALO ment was seen in the

market last week over
the week previous. Asters are im-
proving in quality, though there are
still too many of the ordinary, which
are hard to move. Gladioli continue
to be plentiful, also roses and other
stock. There is no shortage of any-
thing. It is hoped that the market
will change for the better this week
as the ending of the month will bring
home a good portion of vacationists.

There is a slight im-
CHICAGO provement in the condi-
tion of the market here
this week. The supply of summer
flowers, especially gladioli, is shorten-
ing up and the miscellaneous collec-
tions of out-door stocii that cover the
counters in August are giving way to
the new carnations and the late asters.
A much better quality of asters can be
had now, the late crop being fully up
to the usual standard and so far su-
perior to the earlier ones that sales on
them are more nearly satisfactory to
the grower than before this season.
This does not mean that quantities are
not left unsold, and the usual cry of
overproduction is frequently heard.
The new carnations are beginning to
be a feature in the stock and some
of the blooms are of excellent size and
quality, while stems are rapidly
lengthening. The rose situation is
much the same, — plenty of stock of all
kinds though buds are small. Sweet
peas are again to be seen but do not
add much to the volume of sabs. The
opening of schools next week is ex-
pected to bring many people back to
the city and with this is sure to come
an advance in demand for cut flowers
and it will be welcomed by all.

The weather was not
ST. LOUIS so bad last week and

that helped the mar-
ket greatly in the way of good stock
and demand. Our commission men are
receiving consignments that are greatly
in excess of the demand at the pres-
ent time, but they say that white

Flower Market Reports

(Continued from pa£e 31?)

Oh! Business, thou
NEW YORK lethargic, somnifer-
ous, intensely aggra-
vating friend; when will you stop be-
ing an optical illusion and come back
from somewhere to keep us b.usy even
if it is in "love's labor lost?" The
condition of affairs here in this great
city is too abnormally slow and pa-
tience is being closely shaved on the
edge of expectancy. Roses are com-
ing in in large quantities and of the
poorest quality. There is no such
thing as staple prices for anything.
Plenty of roses — open, languid ones,
of course — sold as low as twelve cents
per 100; others went for from 50 cents
to $4.00. Double White and Pink Kil-
larneys with Radiance seemed to have
first call. Beauties seem to be about
the only class to keep steady, and
even they have dropped one-fourth in
value from last week. Lilium longi-
flortim and Harrisii are over-abun-
dant. Asters were supposed to be
scarce or battered by recent storms,
but they are coming to town in usual
way and quantity. Poor varieties went
at prices according to bulk, a few
long-stemmed queenly ones brought
good prices. Carnations are very poor
and short. Orchids, especially cattle-
yas, are taking a brief vacation.

There was a de-
PHILADELPHIA cided decrease in
the volume of bus-
iness here last week as compared with
the week before but this is mainly or
wholly due to the usual curtailment of
business at this season. There was
a similar drop at the same time last
year. American Beauty roses were
the best sellers on the list. Orchids
also in demand but that to a large
extent was because they are so exceed-
ingly scarce. While Killarney roses
are of extra quality for the season,
and hold their own very well with the
"Summer Queen" — Kaiserin. The
new double pink Killarney — which are
now arriving in limited quantity —
while not very long in the stem as
yet, are splendid as to petalage, and
are of fine substance. Prince de Bill-
garie bids fair for a strong and steady
place in the regular market. Carna-
tions have commenced to come in
again, and while the flowers are fair
they are very short-stemmed. The
white varieties are at the bottom of
the quality column. Gardenias are ar-
riving in limited quantity. They are
fine as to purity and substance, but
rather short-stemmed. Selling fairly
well. Sweet peas have dropped off

very much both as to quantity and
quality. Gladioli are still pretty good
but there is so much other outdoor
stock for decorative work, that they
suffer in demand. To a lesser extent,
that is true of the aster also. Asters
are at their best now, and any quan-
tity can be had. Too many poor
ones. Only the best sell well.

During the past
WASHINGTON week or two busi-
ness has been quiet.
There has been ample stock coming in
to take care of all needs; asters were
never better; in fact, all flowers have
been very plentiful with the possible
exception of carnations and these can
be well dispensed with by reason of
the quantity and quality of the asters
until the latter are gone. American
Beauties are coming along fine.

A FLOWER MARKET FOR PROVI-
DENCE.

The wholesale flower and plant grow-
ers of Providence, R. I., have decided to
start a flower market and will open a
store in the down-town district for
that purpose. This was decided at a
meeting held last Saturday at which
the following officers were elected:
President, John A. Macrae; Vice-
President, Walter Macrae; Secretary,
E. E. King; Treasurer, Olney H. Wil-
liams.

The store will be divided into stalls,
these stalls to be rented by the whole-
salers. There are already 12 in the
association. It is expected that oth-
ers will send in their applications for
membership before the next meeting.

A FAILURE.

Yonkers, N. Y. — C. Rovatzos has
failed and most of the wholesale deal-
ers in West 28th street, New York,
are reported to have been hit hard.

GLEANINGS FROM THE "GREAT
WHITE WAY."
There are, of course, here and there
and now and then a few moments of
briskness when some one departs for
unknown gardens, but scarce a ripple
is noticeable in the sleepy atmo-
sphere of New York's 26th or 28th
streets. Vacation chatter livens up the
dreary, tiresome waits. Charles Schenck,
Frank Traendly's observant side part-
ner, can tell how and what to see in
Europe. — P. Riedel of Badgley, Riedel
& Meyer, went to Montreal to see if
P. Welch of Boston made statement
correct on reciprocity. — Horace E. Fro-
ment is back looking elegant and
"LadyHillingdon" with "Radiance" sur-
rounds him. — Geo. Matthews took Mrs.
Matthews away from Great Neck to
drink a little at Sharon Springs, N. Y.
—Arthur Watkins had a jolly good
time up the Hudson. — C. W. Scott has
been towing Carl Jurgens of Newport
among and through the bulb cellars of
New York and one may hear the words
"hundred thousand" often used as if
it were only just a dozen. — Dr. N. L.
Britton of the Botanic Gardens sailed
for Europe two weeks ago to visit
the noted gardens there, and add to
those under his care here. — A. H.
Langjahr is busy fixing up his new
store in 28th street. It is a fine, new,
light commodious store and we wish
him the best of luck in it.— Arthur
Hum of Langjahr's lost a daughter,

11 years old, by death last Sunday.
— John I. Raynor is at Watch Hill, R.
I., this week. — Capt. Chadwick in-
forms us that the bowling team will

mble at the florist club's first meet
of 1 lie season, September 11, and pre-
sent excuses for "The Night Before."
•'Lurry, turn the crank."

Don't forget the sale of Boston
Flower Market stalls Saturday, Sep-
tember 2, 9.30 A. M.

Ansonia, Conn. — On account of the
results of unfavorable weather condi-
tions, it is doubtful whether the an-
nual exhibition of the Intertown
Dahlia Association will be held this
year.

A SPRING VALLEY PLACE.

So far as we know, A. S. Burns of
Spring Valley, N. Y., is the largest
forcer of longiflorum lilies in this
country. He was certainly one of the
first, if not the first, to make a regu-
lar business of supplying this flower
in quantity every day in the year.
Horse Shoe Brand Giganteum are his
specialty and house after house in all
stages of growth and maturity may
be seen any day in this well-conducted
place. Mr. Burns is the son of Alex-
ander S. Burns of Woodside, N. Y.,
one of the most successful of the older
generation of florists and whose wise
training and advice, no doubt, counts
for much in the success achieved by
the younger Alex.

There are fifteen houses in the
range now — four of them covering
an area of 140 x 140 having been
erected this season. The capacity of
this new addition is 75,000 lily bulbs.
At the present time the regular cut
per day is 3000 flowers. In addition
to the giganteums Mr. Burns forces
large quantities of auratum and speci-
osum. Of the latter rubrum is seen in
greatest quantity. Mr. Burns says
that he is unable to distinguish be-
tween a good brand of rubrum and
those sold as rnagnifieum, the former
varying so much in type and color
thai it is not worth while to try to
carry the two names. In the field at
the present time is a vast stretch of
Vick asters, remarkable as to stem
and size of flower, when the unfavor-
able season is taken into considera-
tion. The same cultural skill and dili-
gent care is as apparent here as in
the houses. This establishment prom-
ises to be eventually one of the fore-
most in the country.

Do You Know What
You Want ?

Look in the " Buyers'
Directory" of this issue
and you will probably
find represented there
somebody who can
supply you. It's a good
plan to look it over
every week, for the
weekly changes and
additions are many.

run of the "cut and dried" kinds you see hitched on so many houses.

U-Bar conservatories are not only attractive, l.ut they are in every way practical. That's saying a
Int. It is the U-Bar that makes them so. We are the only U-Bar conservatory and greenhouse builders. The
construction is patented. Seud for catalog — it shows a goodly number of examples of each.

LILIUM HARRISII

Tr-ic Bermuda EZas-ter l_ily)

I—EIT US supply your wants in Lilies this season

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs. 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-in. pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 8-in. plants $1.00 to 1.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 10-in. plants 2.50 each

this country, very few have thus appealed to us. It

laying out cities in squares and triangles, but even then
the custom is not essentia] as cities laid out otherwise

The modern landscape architect is, we think, disposed
to give too much attention to ''vistas''" and too little to
outlooks and we cannot but sympathize and agree with
the gardeners when they deprecate the tendency which
seems to have grown of late, to lavish money on mechan-
ical "gardens," the plan and effect of which is, oftener
than otherwise, entirely out of harmony with the Amer-
ican landscape and jarring to the eye of the appreciative

debase nature; it should be treated as an auxiliary rather
than the main theme.

In i ii expressed that a closer affiliation could
be established between these numerous scattered organ-
izations and the "parent society," as the Society of
American Florists is sometimes termed, and various
plans for bringing this about have been presented from
time to time but without developing much that was
really practical. The local bodies are, of course, occa-
sionally in evidence in S. A. F. matters, as when they
rally around a favored member who may be a candi-
date I'm- office in the S. A. F., when they send a bowl-
ing team to a convention, or when they undertake to or-
ganize ami entertain special convention parties hut oth-
erwise useful co-operation between the national and local
associations is conspicuously absent. The time has
now arrived, we should think, for some well-directed
anil broadly useful co-ordination to be planned out so
that subjects of immediate general concern might be
taken up simultaneously. A special committee of the
S. A. P., or. if preferred, the executive board could be
entrusted with the choosing of topics for each month
ami advising as to the lines on which a joint campaign-
for concerted action should be waged. Such matters as
parcels post, reciprocity in horticultural material, plant
quarantine and inspection, express abuses, method- of
marketing and scores of other topics come at once to
mind as suggestions for consideration respectively at
the same time in all sections of the country. The salu-
tary influence and effect of such concrete action on such
questions must he apparent to everyone.

a man lakes a survey of the Held in which lie labors and

ami lie has confidence thai his judgment will lead him

Dever more needed in the horticultural world than to-
day, ami there is every oppmt unity for such indepen-
dence. Who would have imagined a decade ago, that the
florist who specialized in sweel peas, for instance, would
ha\e created a most lucrative field, entirely his own?
In the business of the commercial florist there is am-
ple field for such diversification. In fact, there are
scores of desirable flowers that, in the near future, will
unquestionably become market standards. One great
fault of commercial floriculture, in this country, is its
narrowness. Today there is a demand not only for
the flowers which have mingled alike with our sorrow
and our mirth, but for those which have not, for new
flowers, giving new inspirations. Happy the grower
who is wise enough to make a good selection of such
material from the vast amount available, that the result
of his labor may give new inspiration to his patrons.

more than doubled those of the sweet peas. No one has

though it is unquestionably one of the most promising
subjects. There are many choice annuals, like the salpi-
glossis, that would prove valuable for winter flowering.
The innumerable new plants and lilies, collected by Mr.
E. H. Wilson and others, to which frequent reference,
has been made in this paper, will undoubtedly furnish
material that in proper hands will enrich their culti-
\ ators.

The accompanying illustration show-; a new hardy
species of peony introduce 1 by Mr. E. II. Wilson from
the border of Thibet whei it was found growing at an
altitude of 9,000 to 10,000 feet. The flowers are single,
saucer shaped, bright crimson and about three inches
in diameter. The plant is free growing, free flowering
and perfectly hardy around Boston. The elegance of
the foliage is well shown in the picture.

Timber for Profit

It is very hard for i lie American farmer to look ahead.
He does not want to sow anything that he cannot reap
the next year. Besides he is on the look-out for a sale.
In this state land- were sold by the D. EL Co. for
$5 per acre. When they got up to $10 per acre a great
many sold. Now these -nine lands are selling for from
$1U0 to s-.'n i a, iv. Those who sold are living from

hand to mouth those that kept the home are rich. Laud
proves to be the most faithful friend a family ever had,

In the early days fuel was scarce: there were patches
of timber along the creeks. Some progressive fanners
ventured to plant the Cottonwood on account of its rapid
growth. A neighbor planted quite a number of acres,
and two years ago he sawed the trees and was surprised
at the result. The low wet ground proved to be a gold
mine and he sold an immense amount of wood and
boards — nearly $400 to the acre.

People are on the lookout for a quick growing tree
which will bring in speedy returns. The Norway poplar
fills the bill as the most rapid growing tree in the North.
The Carolina proves to be short lived and cannot resist
the cold of the Northern States.

The Park and Forest Society of Nebraska after urging
the people for years to plant, have now prepared a cir-
cular giving some facts regarding this remarkable tree.
They are spreading it broadcast to awaken a general
interest in tree planting. Land is too valuable to be
idle. A great timber want is coming down upon us.
In 25 years lumber will be worth twice as much as at
present. For a year or two lumber may be cheaper on
account of the great areas burned over killing million?
of trees. After that, prices must soar. We must look
to the Amazon and to Africa; but these places are far
away.

Take the item of boxes alone. In New England kind
Mother Nature sows pine seed on the deserted farm and
in 40 years an immense amount of boxing lumber is
produced. The Norway poplar brings in speedy results.
It is tougher than pine, and much stronger and will
bear to be thin. For this reason alone it should be
planted in immense quantities and as speedilv as possi-
ble.

It is no exaggeration to assert that the magnificent
new fern depicted on our title page this week has few
equals and no superior in the whole line of decorative
foliage plants. It is unquestionably the noblest of all
greenhouse ferns. It is a unique crested form of the
well-known Polypodium aureum. Its .growth, as seen
at the establishmeirl of W. A. Manda, South Orange,.
N. J., is prodigious. The fronds are produced with
astonishing rapidity and harden up quickly, so that for

No acanthus can equal their cla.ssic beauty of outline and

WORK AT THE EXPERIMENTAL
GREENHOUSES.

Read i'\ ll. B. Dor before Illinois

Florists' Association, February, 1911.

Work at the Florists' Experimental
Greenhouses has been continued dur-
ing the year under the direction df
the Advisors. Committee and bids fair
ive some interesting results. As
a whole the work is progressing nice
l_v and an inspection of the houses
will, we think, show the plants in
i! xperimental plats in better con-
dition than ever before. The work
as being carried on is quite a large
undertaking and keeps those connect-
ed with it very busy looking after
the many details. Much of the suc-
cess of the season's work is due to
the watchfulness and careful atten-
tion to details given by Mr. Xehrling.

The work of the year is divided
into three experiments, one on carna-
tions and two on roses. The comple-
tion of the new houses last winter
made it possible to take up these lines
of work on roses.

The Carnation Experiment.

The work in carnations is a continu-
ation or rather a duplication of the
work of the past year. At least an-
other year will be necessary before
final conclusions can be drawn. The
wort has given a mass of data which
will require several months of hard
work to put it into such shape as to
give the greatest value. As a result of
the past season's work, records were
taken on 47,729 carnations represent-
ing the cut of six months beginning
with November and ending on the 1st
of May. During the past three
months records have been taken on
17,092 flowers.

The object of the experiment is to
del ermine whether just as good and
as many flowers can be grown by
using a very small amount of manure
supplemented by commercial fertil-
izers as when large quantities of ma-
nure are used. It is also desired to
determine in what proportion the
three elements, namely nitrogen,
phosphorus and potassium should be
applied. If, of course, better flowers
can be grown with the aid of com-
mercial fertilizers this only proves our
point.

It must be kept in mind that all
natural manure cannot be dispensed
with without injury to the soil and
crops. Much of the nutritive sub-
stances in the soil are only made
available by the bacteria present in
the soil. The humus or decaying
vegetable matter, and it is for this
that natural manure is used in the
experiment, furnishes the food and
the medium in which these bacteria
grow. So to get the best results ma-
nure should not be discarded alto-
gether, but the quantity should be
much reduced.

During the season of 1909 and run
four varieties of carnations, namely,
White Perfection, Beacon, Enchantress
and Winsor were selected as being
representative types upon which to
riment. 678 plants of each were
I and each variety represented a
complete experiment.

From the first year's work it was
decided that the best commercial fer-
tilizers to use are dried blood for
nitrogen with ammonium sulphate as
a good second, acid phosphate for the
phosphorus and potassium sulphate
for pottassium. The units of applica-
tion selected are:

GLADIOLUS NOTES FROM MASSA
CHUSETTS.

Editor of HORTICULTURE:

Will you allow me a bit of your val-
uable space in above line, as 1 read
wiib much Interest the mos1 excellent
notes on Gladioli by .Mr. Hetscher in
the September 2 number, and as his
productions came along similar lines
as I found here, it may be of more
than passing inteiest to some others
Interested in the same grand piites.

This >ear, having occasion to test
certain s, rains, 1 concluded 1 would
make a general test as our firm are in-
tending planting a considerable quan-
tity another season, as the land in-
tended could uot be properly prepared
this year on account of shortage in
help. I laid off a plot of ground com-
prised of several different grades of
soil and put in 6,000 plump, healthy
bulbs of both American grown and Eu-
ropean, and a quantity of African
seedlings. These were planted April
10, and as the weather came off cold
and ground crusted, I said goodby to
the bulbs, but a mulch was immedi-
ately put on and the plots show no
bad effect from the cold except one
small space. Soil a rich, rotten slate
loam, north exposure, side hill, planted
between peach trees, rows 2 feet apart
by 6 inches between bulbs, a rate of
about 31.470 bulbs to one acre. Another
plot was planted at same time, 3 feet
between rows and 1 foot apart for
bulbs, counting at the rate of 14,520
bulbs to the acre, and planted in a
rich sandy loam where tomatoes were
raised last year and between rows of
peach trees. On June 18 the first
spikes were cut showing two to three
flowers in bloom and buds well col-
ored.

As with Mr. Betscher, 1 find the
Lemoines were the the first to open,
but Pink Beauty was the first to open
flower followed by a lot of Childsii
and a variety of unnamed seedlings
known only by number. Blushing
Bride opened July 2 and is a very love-
ly flower of the Delicatessima type.
Among our reds I think Princeps, a
brilliant scarlet with white throat will
be the earliest, but don't care to state
definitely till tried out next year. The
Excelsior strains did well, having ex-
tra long stems, some being cut 4 feet
long. Among the American seedlings,
the ones from S. C. MGellinger, Calla.
Ohio, were the earliest, and had spikes
we can ship 1.500 miles and warrant
to arrive O. K. We are now shipping
cut from his bulbs 500 miles and cut
every day through last week's rain.

This coming season we shall check
back all these bulbs and those that
prove O. K. will go into our general
planting. Mr. Betscher speaks of
planting in March! Here in this val-
ley of the Merrimac most years they
could be planted April 1 on one tract
of ground we have, a good sandy loam,
well drained, and probably three days
earlier. This would give blooms here
about June 10 under ordinarj weather
conditions, but this year lias been
hard on bulbs, on account of the long
drought.

On June S we mulched the plots
heavy with sheep manure. Not the
sheep manure in bags, but from our
sheep pens where the sheep were bed-
ded last fall with leaves and straw.
We put this between the rows and be-

This new gladiolus was the winner
of the American Gladiolus Society's
first certificate of merit at Baltimore,
August 16, J 911, having been shown
there by L. Merlon Gage of Orange.
Mass., and a few days later it was
given a first class certificate of merit
by the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety. It is a seedling of Gandavensis
X Lemoinei. In color it is one of the

richest flowers ever produced on a
gladiolus — a lovely flushed salmon-
pink flower with brilliant carmine
blotches reminding one of some of the
best fancy pelargoniums. The flowers
are very large and open out wide, as
the picture shows. The variety was

tween the plants to the extent of a
good three inches deep and gave it a
thorough wetting down with water.
The ground had been previously
weeded and cultivated. The bloom
was not a spike here and there but
general all through plantings.

It is a great pity that more notes
are not printed in a char, practical
line as Mr. Betscher's. but the ten-
dency is to print a lot of rot. Only
yesterday I read an account of a glad-
iolus grower who planted 200,000
bulbs to the acre and planted 19 acres,
and the notes were sent to the paper
by a man that knew better. New
there is a chance that the printer
made a mistake of 1S0,000 bulbs but
no excuse for 19 acres. What a trade
journal is for is facts and help to the
grower, the wholesaler, and the retail
merchant, and not trash.

contains this information, and it is
therefore indispensable to those who

FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHINGTON.
The club held their regular Septem-
ber meeting at their quarters, 1214 F
street, X. w. The secretary read a
letter from Mrs. John Birnie and fam-
ily thanking the members for their
expression of sympathy in their be-
reavement and a similar letter from
the family of the late Joseph R. Free-
man.

The renting agents having in charge
the building containing halls at 419
Tenth street, N. W., have made an
offer to sublet one of their halls for
the use of the Florists' Club on their
regular meeting nights. It has long
been the desire of the membership to
have a permanent and suitable meet-
ing place and this offer has again
started this discussion. The present
quarters are quite suitable but "a home
of our own" is the sentiment prevail-
ing.

Other similar offers were made and
a committee was appointed composed
of Messrs. Bollinger, Cooke and
Schmidt to investigate and to report
at a future meeting

A rising vote ol thanks was tendeicd
Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Glide for the hospi-
tality shown the members who at-
tended the August meeting held at
the Gude home.

Many of tie members have failed to
receive photographs taken of the an-
nual outing and of the "Grotto" meet-
ing and this matter was ordered to be
investigated.

Due to the inadequacy of suitable
floor space available for the purpose at
the present time, U was decided that
the club hold no flower show this year.
It is the belief of all that if a show
be held it should be worthy of a
National Capital enterprise which, un-
der the present existing circumstances,
would not be the case.

RED BANK, N. J., EXHIBITION.

The members of the Monmouth
County Horticultural Society made a
very creditable display of plants, flow-
ers and fruits at the County Fair held
at Red Hank. N. J., from August 31st
to Sept Hli. Their exhibits were ar-
ranged in a large new tent and were
nicely Btaged in fact this tent was
more largely patronized than any oth-
er part of the fair except perhaps the
trotting course. Good prizes were of-
fered by residents of the locality and
in the majority of cases were worthily
competed for. For group of foliage
plants Win. Turner was first with N.
Butterback a close second. These
groups were good, clean, well colored
and artistically arranged. Mr. Turner
also won first with a table of store
and greenhouse plants. N. liutter-
back was first on group of ferns and
they were beautiful and well put up.
Turner was there again with a group
of crotons and dracienas with Butter-
back second. These were highly col-
ored groups, the dracsenas adding
graci Cully to the effect. Best 6 palms
brought out some fine specimens with
the above two competitions in the
same order. Then Butterback went
one better by getting 1st on 6 ferns, 6
varieties, Turner evening up by cap-
turing the prize for 3 specimen palms
with immense kentias, Butterback
2nd. It was the same order of things
in the class for one specimen palm.
In the next two classes calling for
five ferns and specimen fern. Butter-
back won both. Turner second for
specimen. For specimen foliage plant
Turner 1st and Butterback 2nd. In
the class for 12 crotons Geo. Hale
stepped in and captured 1st. letting
his friend Butterback off with 2nd.
For specimen Adiantum Farleyense,
Butterback won 1st. For Rex begonia
Wm. Robinson landed 1st, as he did
for 6 begonias. In the 12 fibrous-
rooted begonias Butterback 1st. Wm.
Dowling 2nd; 12 flowering plants,
Turner 1st. Hale 2nd and Metzdort
3rd: fi orchids. Turner 1st; geranium
in bloom. P. Lichenstein.

It will be seen by the above that
William Turner and Xicolas Butter-
back, both of Oceanic, had it pretty
near their own way in the plant divi-
sion. However, there was more of a
scrimmage in the cut flower section.
Butterback captured 1st on green-
house roses;. Wm. Dowling 1st on
outdoor roses; 12 specimen outdoor
flowers, Geo. Hale 1st, P. Lichenstein
2nd; collection of annuals. Wm. Dow-
ling 1st, Hale 2nd; collection of per-
ennials. Peter Murray 1st, Huiterback,
2nd; phlox annual, Alfred Griffiths,
1st. Wm. Metzdorf, 2nd; coll ction of
gladiolus, Geo. Hale 1st, T. Shuit 2nd;
Hale also won 1st for 25 varieties of
gladiolus. Geo. L. Stillman. of Wes-
terly. R. I., captured first in all the
dahlia classes with some very fine
blooms, Hale coming in second, We
noted that these dahlias ittracted
very much attention from the wealth-
ier classes. Asters were shown in
elegance and variety, Wu, Dowling
getting 1st, A. Griffiths 2nd. J. T.
Lovett arranged effective groups ot
evergreens and cut flowers and Chas.
W. Schneider several groups >f palms,
etc.. both not for compel i ion. A.
Griffiths captured 1st for miniature
flower garden design and several
awards in open classes were won by
those mentioned in the above several

The same men showed up well
in the classes for fruits and vegeta-
bles. The amateur classes were well
filled and great enthusiasm was shown
in all classes of horticulture. Million-
aires were i hummy and for the time
brothers with the gardener and 'twas
good to see the beauty of flower and
goodness of fruit level for a day or
two the gilded obstacles which rear
themesleves among humans. Peter
Duff, Orange, X. J.; Wm. Duckham,
Madison. X. .1.. and Arthur Herring-
Ion. X. Y.. were judges. Oh, we must
not forget John Daly winning 1st on
vase of roses. Cannot afford to leave
the Irish out of anything.

A NEW GROWERS' COMBINATION.

A number of growers lor the Boston
cut flower market to the number of
twenty or more have combined for
the cooperative marketing of their
product. The new concern will be
known as the Flower Growers' Sales
Co. They have secured some 25 to 30
stalls at the Boston Flower Exchange

Champaign, III. — That the Illinois
Central greenhouse will be moved
from Champaign to Flossmore, was
the statement of a Champaign official
of the Illinois Central Railway Co.
The cause for the removal as given is
that the smoke and gas from the
roundhouse makes it impossible to
grow some kinds of flowers at the
Central's greenhouse in Champaign.

SHREWSBURY SHOW.
England's meat show has again
.I i. ;,<. Ing as it does pleasant
memories to thousands and thousands
who cast care aside for the nonce and
drink in the teasl ol another year's
ol Britain's best horticulturists,
ami some of the cleverest performers
in their \arious stunts. I mention the
latter, as the committee caters for all
i lasses, whether interested in garden-
ing or not. Anyone, no matter of what
ti ; iperament, can spend an enjoyable
day at "The Show," as it is termed lo-
rn I will long be remembered by
all connected with the show, either
exhibitor, visitor or committee, as
only a few days previous it looked as
though there would be no show, owing
to the great railway strike which the
country has been up against. Happily
this was brought to a satisfactory set-
i lenient in time for most of the exhib-
its to be brought in. Some, however,
could not get through in time and at
intervals the followin'g notice appeared
on blank spaces.

•The committee regrets that owing to
the railway strike this space cannot be
lilled by the nrni for whom it is reserved."

Considering the excessive drought
the country has experienced this sum-
mer stuff was very good, the cottagers'
• s only showing any falling off.
Messrs Cypher & Sons, Cheltenham,
won out on the large group of flower-
ing and foljage plants arranged for ef-
fect, followed by Mr. McDonald, gar-
dener to Sir Geo. Kenrick. The same
firm was also to the front for fifteen
and six stove and greenhouse plants.
Messrs. Veitch had a splendid collec-
tion, including many hybrid cattleyas,
Miltonia vexillaria and specimen ne-
penthas — not for competition.
A new class was a group of herba-
i ous plants to include rock work and
lake. This was won by Gunn & Sons,
Alton, with a very telling effect. Some
y< iy fine nympheas were to be seen
re. Blacimore & Longden, Bath,
had an excellent group of tuberous-
rooted begonias. In size and color
they were fine. Kelway's gladioli
were a feature. Carnations were be-
low our American quality. Sweet peas
were only moderate. The King Acre
Xurseries staged a large group of pot
fruit trees. The champion decorated
fruit table was won by P. F. Barnes,
gardener for the Duke of Westmin-
ster being twenty points ahead of Mr.
Goodacre, Elvaston Castle. There were
five entries for this class.

Some splendid produce was to be
seen in the various collections of vege-
tables. Mr. Beckett, gardener to Hon.
Vicary Gibbs, Aldenham House, had
an extensive non-competitive exhibit.
Messrs. Webb of Wordsley, Stourbridge
filled a large space with superior pro-
duce including 100 dishes of vegeta-
bles. 10 varieties of melons. f.O varie-
ties sweet peas and various flowering
plants.

The floral display at the X. H. State
Fair held at Nashua this week was of
small extent but the flowers were ex-
cellent as to quality, especially the
dahlias, of which fine collections were
shown in the various classes by the
East Manchester Dahlia Gardens of-
East Manchester, X. H. and C. S. Fin-
nacum.

CARNATIONS OF TODAY.

Extract from a paper read before The
Florists' Club of Philadelphia, Febru-
ary 7th. 1911, bj W. II. Taplin.

Qualities Demanded in a Seedling.

A new variety at the present time
posed to keen critic-ism. for a very
high standard has been reached, and it
is not enough for a new seedling to
simply show good size and fair color,
for the trade demands not only that a
large flower of good form and pleasing
color shall be produced on a good
strong stem, but also that the plant
shall be of good constitution and free
in growth and flower, and, last but not
least, the retail man, who after all
seems to be the supreme court of the
cut flower world, declares that the
(lower must be a good keeper and of
such a shade that he can use it to ad-
vantage. With such requirements as
these constantly before him the carna-
t ion hybridizer has much to work for,
and much work to do, and that some
of them do appreciate the size of their
task is evidenced by the care with
which they select the candidates for
popular favor from among the hun-
dreds, or even thousands of seedlings
from which they may make a choice.

Results of Indoor Culture.

Then we have to take into consider-
ation the fact that varieties are likely
to depreciate after having been grown
for several years, possibly owing in
part to some inherent weakness of the
stock from which they sprang, and in
part to the artificial conditions under
which they are grown, for under the
present conditions of commercial cut
flower growing, our carnations are
grown along under comparatively high
pressure, having no season of natural
rest such as most plants demand. In
fact the seasons are too short to allow
of any rest period, so we keep on prop-
agating and growing a variety until its
constitution gives out, and then look
for something of similar or better col-
or and habit to take the place of the
older variety.

Continued indoor culture of carna-
tions seems to bring about the failure
of a variety as soon as anything,
though in making this assertion I am
fully aware that there are differences
of opinion on this subject. There are
arguments in favor of indoor culture,
not the least of which is found in the
fact that the bench-grown plant is
likely to produce a large flower on a
long stem at an earlier period in the
season than may he had from a field-
grown plant, but the total number of
flowers from a field-grown plant is
likely to greatly exceed the result from
the bench-grown specimen, and taking
the season as a whole the net returns
will probably be in favor of the field-
grown plant, without taking into con-
sideration the greater vitality that is
retained in the stock by the outdoor
system. Those three months in the
open air counts for much in the prep-
aration of a plant that is to endure a
long season of forced growth under
glass.

The Test of Novelties.

Then in the race to produce a given
number of plants, some of the new
varieties are over-propagated: every
possible shoot, and some that we might
term impossible are put in as a cutting
with the natural consequence that
many deficient plants are put out each

season, and many disgruntled custom-
ers are made. It is not necessary at
this time to specify instances of this
practice, but that such is frequently
the case will be readily admitted by
anyone having much experience in the
trial of novelties in the carnation line,
and, while speaking of novelties, it
must be admitted that every hybridizer
is liable to view his own production
with a somewhat lenient judgment,
which makes it the more necessary
that these novelties should be passed
upon by a qualified committee, and
served in a somewhat similar manner
to that in use by the Rose and Chrys-
anthemum Societies. The more gen-
eral adoption of such a plan would
possibly lessen the number of varieties
that may he introduced, but would al-
so save quite a sum to those growers
who find it needful to try out a batch
of novelties each season with a view
to keeping up with the procession.
It is not merely the original outlay for
a limited number of plants that counts
in these experiments, but there is also
the loss of so many feet of bench
space that ought to be productive.

Record of Some Recent Varieties.

Dorothy Gordon bears a strong re-
semblance to Rose PinK Enchantress
but seems to be a little more even in
color, though in form, size, stem, and
general characteristics it is extremely
difficult, and as a matter of fact is well
nigh impossible, to distinguish the one
from the other. Then there is the dark
sport from Pink Enchantress that has
been named Washington, and if this
variety looks anything like a colored
cut supposed to represent it that has
recently been issued, it is a flower that
would not appeal to the writer, but it
is more charitable to blame that on
the printer rather than the flower, and
it would be better to suspend judg-
ment until a later period.

In scarlet there does not yet appear
to be a better than Beacon, this va-
riety being so extremely free that
most growers are ready to forgive its
serious fault of splitting badly in mid-
winter. Scarlet Glow is a fine flower,
and very bright and cheerful in color,
but thus far does not equal Beacon in
growth and number of flowers.

Pink Delight is a variety that has
received much favorable criticism dur-
ing the past year, the flower being of
fair size and even in color, and the
stem unusually good. It is not pink in
a strict interpretation of the color,
there being rather too much salmon to
be called pink, but it is a beautiful
carnation just the same.

Admiration is a fine colored variety,
and a good sized flower, but unfortu-
nately it has no constitution and thus
seems to be out of the race. Princess
Charming as shown the past fall is a
variety of much promise, but as to
whether it will replace Enchantress
remains to be proved.

Mrs. C. W. Ward is making many
friends among the growers, this varie-
ty having a good-sized flower of pleas-
ing color, and produced on a particu-
larly good stem. It is somewhat liable
to bleach as the sun grows stronger,
but withal is a fine carnation. Alma
Ward is a fine exhibition variety, but
not free enough for the average grow-
er. Some of the Lawsons are still
grown, but most commercial growers
requite more size and stem than is
found in Mrs. Lawson and the nu-

merous varieties that have been de-
rived from that prolific source, and
while many are still growing Winsor
for color, yet it scarcely reaches up to
the standard cf the large city markets.
Variegated varieties are not in
lai tje demand and Mrs. Patten and Va-
riegated Lawson occupy a considerable
proportion of the space that is devoted
to those of fancy marking. It can
scarcely be said that there is a stand-
ard crimson variety at this time, for
although there are many that are be-
ing tested in various parts of the coun-
try there seems to be something lack-
ing, either in constitution, size, stem
or color, and there still seems to be
room for a good variety of this color.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

Messrs. Rice and Eschner had a
pleasant outing with their visitors
from the south, to the Heacock estab-
lishment at Wyncote and the Hatboro
place of H. Weiss.

\V. Atlee Burpee is home from his
European trip looking bronzed, hearty
and happy. He is already getting in
touch with home affairs — and wonder-
ing who is to be our next mayor.

Philip Freud of the Henry F. Michell
Co., is the busy man this week. 960
cases of French bulbs came in and had
tc go out to about 960 different points.
That takes some hustling; three men
and a boy. What gets Philip is that
the High Brows up in the advertising
department think they do all the work!

Pennock-Meehan Co., Berger Bros,
and the Henry F. Michell Co. were
among the prominent stores we heard
of as closing at noon on Labor Day.
Force of habit, conditions and con-
servatism are probably among the rea-
sons why all did not fall into line.
There is mighty little doing in any
department on the afternoon of Labor
Day.

Owing to the high price of immor-
telles this year many florists are go-
ing in for cape flowers instead. The
Rice experts seem to have struck the
right combination for producing a
bright scarlet for Christmas work.
Nothing quite so dainty and perfect
for this purpose has come under our
notice. The foreigners have not been
able to approach this in brilliancy so
far.

M. Rice & Co. have been compelled
to institute a new department. Fred-
erick W. Smith entered on his duties
as chief of publicity, Sept. 5th. He
will look after catalogue and circular
work, and other advertising. The
heads of the firm have reached the
point where they have had to get
some relief from exacting work of
that kind. We congratulate them on
having secured an able and experi-
enced man.

The Dreer catalogue this fall is the
most dignified and finished proposi-
tion we have ever seen them get out —
and that is saying much. The covers
are •'idealized tulips" with a vim and
swerve to them that is exceedingly ef-
fective— and the brown duo-tone fin-
ish is artistic and in the finest taste.
Inside bears the same stamp of the
master mind. All the heads of depart-
ments contribute; but the head chef
in the main achievement is George D.
Clark. Wha's like us!

We do not know where Samuel S.
Pennock is. He may be frozen up on
some cool seascape in Rhode Island,
or he may be down among the Blue

worked for nineteen years. Mr. Peck
was always a great lover of flowers
and about seven years ago he built the
first of his greenhouses in the city of
Baraboo. Since that time he has
added to his greenhouse area as in-
creased trade required and materials
already on hand would have increased
his glass area to 10,000 feet. These he
managed while still retaining his po-
sition on the railroad. It had been
Mr. Peck's intention to quit the rail-
road and give his whole attention to
the greenhouse business in another
year, when his tragic death ended his
plans.

The funeral was held from his home
in Baraboo, Monday, August 28. Mem-
bers of the B. of R. T., O. R. C, and K.
of P. lodges attended in a body as well
as a host of other friends. There were
a great many designs and other floral
tributes.

He is survived by hfs wife, to whom
he had been married but five months,
and three children by a former mar-
riage.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Harry Papworth of New Orleans,
La., was in town last week visiting
his many friends.

Alvah Godding of Anacostia, D. C, a
gardener in the employ of the govern-
ment has gone to Maine for the month
of September.

J. H. Small & Sons have secured the
contract for the decoration of the new
Emerson Hotel in Baltimore on the
occasion of its opening as well as for
the permanent displays.

E. C. Mayberry, president of the
Washington Florists' Club is spend-
ing a two-weeks' vacation traveling
through Harrisburg, Carlisle and
other Pennsylvania cities, accompanied
by his wife and son.

Leapley & Meyers, 904 G Street, N.
W., have on exhibition in their display
window a model of an airship, the
propeller of which moves around in
a very realistic manner, drawing the
attention of a large number of passers-
by.

The continuous heavy rains in and
around this city last week did consid-
erable damage to outdoor stock, wash-
ing out the beds, etc. Prior to this, the
drought caused quite a loss and it is
a toss-up as to which was the most
costly.

Robert Shock of M. Rice & Co., Phil-
adelphia, was a visitor in Washington
last week, coming here on his conven-
tion trip and opening up with quite a
display in the Ebbitt House. Mr. Shock
reports the prospects in the south for
the coming season as exceptionally
bright.

F. H. Kramer has in the window of
his 916 F Street store a square glass
tank containing goldfish, aquatic
plants, etc., around which is a gilt
frame inside of another frame of
ebony, in imitation of a painting. Due
to the size of the frame, none of the
glass other than that representing the
sheet over a picture, is noticeable.

Harry Gottenkenny, with Glide Bros.,
is spending his vacation in camp on
the Rappahannock River in Virginia,
and Hardy Pritchard with the same

a wholesome respect for the man they
can't saw down in price. The reason
is because a buyer never knows when
he touches bottom in dealing with a
cut-priced man and he is always
afraid his neighbor is getting the
same goods for less money. He is
willing to pay as much but don't
wish to pay more. No argument can

Seed Trade

The Non-Warranty Clause.
The following communication has
been sent to the members of the
American Seed Trade Association by
Secretary Kendel:

At the last Annual Convention ot
your Association the undersigned Corn-
mittei was appointed to investigate
and report on the question, — Is it nec-
essary for seedsmen to have the usual
non-warranty clause printed on their
stationery between the date line and
signature in order to make such clause
an effective condition of the contract
of sale made by the correspondence
between the seller-seedsman and the
buyer?

We beg to submit our report as fol-
lows:

From information received, we un-
derstand that the question arose from
a decision of the Supreme Court of
Illinois found in the case of Summers
vs. Hibbard, 153 111. 102, and we brief-
ly note the facts of that case. Hib-
bard made Summers an offer to buy
certain sheet iron. Summers gave an
unqualified acceptance of said offer on
their stationery which carried on the
top of the sheet above the date line,
firm's name, etc., in small printed
type the clause, "All sales subject to
strikes and accidents." Summers
tailed to deliver and set up as a de-
fense this clause, claiming it as a
term of the contract. The Court held
that the written terms of the contract
were absolute, definite and conclusive
and that the printed clause was antag-
onistic to the written terms and must
therefore be discarded.

In the later Illinois case of Anacon-
da Copper Mining Co. vs. Houston,
107 111. App. 183, there was a printed
clause at the top of the stationery and
above the date line, etc., preceded,
however, with shipping directions in
typewriting. The Court held such
clause a part of the contract, saying:
"There being a written designation of
the shipping route at the head of the
letter sheet in close proximity to the
printed condition * * * and there be-
ing no inconsistency between the
written and printed parts of the con-
tract * * * the acceptance of the order
without objection * * * constituted an
agreement to ship in accordance
with * * * the printed clause."'

The Court reviewed the Summers
case, explaining the difference in facts
of the two cases. It is also suggested
that there would be no dispute if in
the typewritten part of the letter a di-
rect reference to the printed clause
was made: and the Court gives this
dictum:

"We are inclined to the opinion that
without some such reference a printed
condition should not be considered a
part of the written contract where an
absolute order is given in writing and
accepted by the other party."

We have also considered other
Illinois cases and there appears no di-
vergence from the law as above stated.
Therefore, answering the query
above propounded, so far as the de-
cisions of Illinois are concerned, we
are of the opinion that the seedsman
can print his disclaimer clause at the
top. or at the bottom, or on the re-
verse side of the letter sheet, upon
which he is making his contract of
sale, and have same an effective con-
dition of his contract, provided in the

written part of his letter direct ref-
erence to such clause as a part of the
contract is made, as. for example.
. , i to tb< above (or below, etc.)
printed conditions we offer (or ac-
cept I, etc."

We suggest that this method of plac-
ing the disclaimer clause at the top or

t i in of the letter sheet, with direct

reference thereto in the body of the
typew ritten letter, has an advantage
over printing the clause between the
date line and signature, inasmuch
as not all correspondence of seedmen
constitute offers or acceptance of
prici s or terms of sales, and the di-
rect reference above advised distinct-
ly conies within the ruling of the
Anaconda case, above cited and many
other decisions, and will avoid the
possibly unfavoiahle judicial deter-
mination that the printed clause is an-
tagonistic to the written terms and so
void.

And as to the law in states other
than Illinois, our investigations indi-
cate that most Courts sustain, while
some Courts do not establish the
Illinois doctrine of exclusion of
printed clauses outside of the date
line and signature, unless referred to
in the body of the letter, on the well
known theory that a document must
be read by its "four" or "eight cor-
ners." Yet we maintain our opinion
above expressed and for these rea-
sons:

First, the Courts might decide, un-
der the facts of the particular case,
(as in the Summers case), that the
printed disclaimer clause was not con-
templated by the parties as a condi-
tion of the contract.

Second. Even if the Courts held
that the printed clause was a condi-
tion of the contract, yet it may be de-
cided that the printed clause was an-
tagonistic to the written terms and so
void under a well established rule of
law. because the written words pro-
pose to sell certain seeds carrying an
implied warranty as true to type, etc.,
while the printed clause expressly
robs the written words of any such
force. Of course, all this is obviated
by the direct reference in the written
agreement to the printed clause.

Therefore we conclude by suggest-
ing that the use of the disclaimer
clause as advised provides greater se-
curity to the seedsman and it certain-
ly seems more frank and better busi-
ness for the seedsman to state his con-
ditions in the direct, unambiguous
and not at all difficult manner sug-
gested.

Respectfully submitted,
CrttTis Nye Smith, Kirby B. White,
Simeon F. Leonard.

Foreign Grass Seed Crops.

Advices from Europe bearing date
of August 24th indicate that the
crops are nearly all saved now and
have reached the warehouses for clean-
ins and grading — with the exception of
orchard grass and the rye grasses.
Everything seems to be turning out
disappointing as to quantity on ac-
count of the very hot. dry summer. It
is feared that not only for this season
(1911-12) hut also the next (1912-13)
tie effects of the extraordinary heat
and drought will be felt. As far as
can lie judged at present the fields
sown la<t spring intended for 1912-13
crop will be lost entirely.

As for the quotations for this sea-

son 1911-12 there is at present great
uneasiness and a general feeling that
we shall see higher figures than last
year on at least a few of the varieties.
Those in a position to know say that
not one variety thus far threshed and
cleaned has given a satisfactory re-
sult as to yield. So far, yields are very
small, and the seeds are unusually
light— hence there is a greater loss
than usual in the shape of light
matter and immature seeds. But aft-
er these losses have been sustained,
the resultant samples are of a nice
bright color and they must all germi-
nate very strongly— not having suf-
fered in the least by wet weather
while curing.

Bozeman, Mont.— The beginning of
what is liRely to develop into a new
industry of considerable importance to
this valley was started here this spring
when the Jerome B. Rice Seed Com-
pany contracted with a number of Gal-
latin valley farmers to devote a cer-
tain acreage to the raising of seed
peas.

This year about 2C00 acres were
planted "to peas and the result demon-
stiates that with the proper atten-
tion this crop can be made a very
profitable one to the farmers of this
valley.

From the experience this year the
seed company is satisfied that this
valley is well adapted to the raising
of peas in large quantities and will
provide for a larger acreage next year
and should thorough trial prove that
the climate and soil of the locality is
as favorable for the crop as is con-
fidently expected, a big cannery will
be located here and the raising of peas
will become one of the important in-
dustries of the country-— Bogeman

CHICAGO NOTES.
Greenhouse Fire.

The third florist to suffer loss by
fire very recently was August Jin
2217 Herndon street, whose place was
iiadh injured August 30th. Mr. Jur-
gens, who lias been here 20 years,
was aroused at 11 P. M. by his
daughter, who had awakened to find
the house full of smoke. So dense was
the smoke that it was with difficulty
that the five small children and their
parents made their escape. The five
greenhouses were badly damaged,
about 25 feet being burned from each,
and the adjoining shed containing an
automobile, tools, etc., is a complete
loss. The horses were saved and for-
tunately the most of the early bulbs
were planted and the Holland bulbs
arrived later. There was no insurance
and Mr. Jurgens estimates his loss be-
tween three and five thousand dollars.
Work has already begun on the houses
which will be put in shape for winter
use and at some future date a new
range will be built. The house, which
was connected with the greenhouses,
is also badly damaged by fire and
water.

Wedding Bells.

Saturday, August 26th, Allie Zeck
and Emma Pagels were quietly mar-
ried and slipped away to Milwaukee
without announcing the happy eve.it
to their many friends. The groom is
the son of .John Zeck of Zeck & Maun.
and has been associated with them in
the wholesale commission business for
some time. He is an active member
of the Chicago florists' Club and a
leader in the bowling games, and has
the best wishes of the entire trade.
Mr. and Mis. Zeck have begun house-
keeping at 3630 X. Leavitt street.

Saturday. September 2nd, Emily
Blewitt, eldest daughter of H. C.
Blewitt of Desplaines, 111., and John
Pricket i of tie Desplaines Floral Co.,
were married at Desplaines. Both
parties are well known and are re-
ceiving congratulations on the happy
culmination of a long engagement.

At the same time occurred the mar-
riage of Arthur, second son of H. C.
Blewitt, and Grace Schaffer. The lai
house of the Desplaines Floral Co. will
be the home of the two couples.

Robert J. Windier of St. Louis. Mo .
and Amy Zender of Chicago were mar-
lied September 6th at the home of the
bride's parents at Rogers Park. The
groom is a well known retailer at St
Louis and president-elect of the St.
Louis Florists' Club, and the brie
daughter of Adam Zender. one of the
old time florists on Park Ridge avenue.

mAIVriC 1 O* TO DEA

Business keeps a-moving
BOSTON in this market and is
apparently gaining al-
though the gain is slow. The present
week is a decided improvement over
the last in volume of business done
and good reports are received from the
buying trade throughout New England,
but the heavy increase in cut of some
staples hinders any general advance
in values and the accumulated stock
would give the impression that trade
has fallen off, which, happily, is not
so. Quality in general shows a very
gratifying gain. This applies to as-
ters, especially, which are better than
at any previous time this year but are
hopelessly over-loaded and to roses
which in the newer sorts such as Hil-
lingdon, Bulgarie and Radiance are
rapidly progressing towards a com-
manding position in the daily demand.
All other staple stock is in normal
supply and demand.

The week enalng the
BUFFALO month of August showed

a slight improvement
in the market. There is plenty
of stock and of good quality. Asters
were at their best, also gladioli and
other stock. The demand lias been a
little better than heretofore though
there are too many of the short ordi-
nary quality of asters which are hard
to dispose of at any price. Beauties
continue to be good and have sold sat-
isfactorily, also choice Maryland. Kai-
serin and Pres. Carnot. Fall weddings
are noticeable and lily of the valley
has had demand, also « hite roses

themums are seen more in quantity
but too early for the trade. A good
supply of greens in adiantum, Aspara
gus plumosus and Sprengeri is had.

There is nothing strik-
CHICAGO ingly different in the

condition of the cut
flower market from that of the past
four weeks except that the glut is a
thing of the past. First class stock
moves more slowly some days than is
satisfactory to the grower, but on
whole the past week has seen few

good flowers go to waste. There is
generally too much stock of a lower
grade to be used to advantage and it
is here that the loss occurs. There
lias been a noticeable increase in
shipping orders which has helped to
use up the best stock. American
Beauties are particularly in demand
for this as they stand shipping better
now than the softer roses and all
Beauties were used up promptly this
work. Asters are still leading in
quantity. Some very fine blooms are
in the market and when there is so
much to choose from the small ones
are sure to be left unsold. Gladioli
re not coming in in such overwhelm-

Flower Market Reports

(Ctntinued from fia£t 377)

ing quantities as formerly. Carnations
are daily gaining in length of stem
and size of bloom. Tbe miscellaneous
stock this week includes cosmos, the
I'm st dahlias, a few sweet peas, celosia.
golden rod, etc. Some very good lily
of the valley is now offered.

Most everybody is on
DETROIT deck again and we hope
the time is not long be-
fore we all are hustling again. Con-
sidering the many fall weddings in
view this wish is quite certain of ful-
lillmcnt. The quality of flowers, es-
pecially roses, is greatly improved
over two weeks ago but prices remain
about the same. Gladioli are giving
out in quality but are heavy in sup-
ply. This was a good year for ama-
teurs in asters. They brought the
best to the market and therefore
Found ready sales for them in stores.

The market keeps
NEW YORK ohl so sluggish with

a gradually increas-
ing amount of stock which becomes
mure difficult to move. Prices remain
in almost every instance tie same as
those quoted last week, the only dif-
ference being a larger variety to
choose from. There are numerous
pretty things to be had that would
surely tend to coax were the custom-
ers there to see or the passerby dis-
posed to buy, but the rule is to reef
the sail and go close to the wind —
and the only wind is expletive hot air.
For the matter of five dollars one can
get an immense showing of gladioli,
hydrangea, lilies and other very
showy and useful outdoor dowers and
as for roses — well, it just depends on
what you want them for.

Storekeepers are
PHILADELPHIA beginning to fix

up their places
now -making the Interiors attractive
— paying some attention to their win-
dow displays, and carrying more
stock on hand. For some i ime back
it has been a case of keeping little if
anything on hand, and running around
to the wholesalers whene\ -r a little
order came in. But th 3 is now
(hanged for the better, and trading
from now on will be more satisfactory
in every way. The present is the first
week of the dahlia season and while
they reach us on a "no demand" mar-
ket their advent is a diversion and
gives an air of novelty to the situa-
tion. So far, the stock is as a rule
short-stemmed. Among th< principal
varieties seen around are White Swan,

Arabella, Lyndhuist, Mrs. Jones, Kri-
emhilde, Sylvia and Storm King. As-
ters continue very good and are the
mainstay where good stock is wanted
in quantity. Carnations are getting a
little better; hut they are still far
from occupying an important place in
the market. There are some pretty
good American Beauty roses arriving
from local sources which are all right
except in color. In the latter respect
the Eastern grown stock is still much
brighter. Mrs. Aaron Ward and Prince
of Bulgaria are pleasing additions to
the regular list of roses, and seem to
meet with good sale. Lily of the val-
ley and longiflorum lilies are in fair
demand and of excellent qualit.\.
There is plenty of both. The receipts
from the gladiolus farms have slack
ened up very considerably and we do
not look to have these with us much
longer. Orchids are still very scarce.
Tritomas are in evidence but there is
not much demand for these as yet.
Their turn will come later. Greens
very slow.

With the two dull
ST. LOUIS months gone the local

trade is looking for
more steady trade and they surely
need it as the last two months have
been mighty dull with them. The
wholesalers are looking for a better
market from now on as stock is com-
ing in of better quality. The market
is in about the same condition as the
week previous as to stock, prices and
demand. Only the very best quality
of roses finds any demand. Beauties
are plentiful. There is plenty of as-
paragus and ferns to be had at usual
prices.

The sale of stalls of the Boston
Flower Exchange, held September 2.
was the most successful in the history
of the market, almost every stall bi
ing sold, and prices ruled the high
on record. This market is receivil
an abundance of almost every kind 0
stock but demand is light.

ST. LOUIS NOTES.

Mrs. C. A. Kuehn with her two
children has returned from her sum-
mer trip north, visiting Detroit and
Milwaukee.

C. C. Sanders' place on Clara ave-
nue is nearly completed, since the new
building collapsed a few weeks ago.
They expect to open the new store
about Sept. loth.

Miss M. S. Newman has returned
from her summer trip East and has
again opened her store, which was
closed during July and August.

L. Zimmer, the Biddle Market flor-
ist, has returned after a two months'
trip to his home in Hamburg. His
store was closed during his absence.

J. F. Win.lt, for many years a retail
florist on Bayard avenue, has sold his
business to the firm of Windt & Heit-
mann, who will run a general retail
business at the old stand. Mr. Windt,
who is well on in years and well off
in the world's goods, will retire.

The second Sunday opening of
Shaw's Garden to the public was on
Sept. 3. The day was most beautiful
and over 12,000 people took advantage
of the opportunity. SupL Irish was
all smiles. A large force of students
took the visitors in groups and
shower] them through the garden.
The will of the late Henry Shaw
reads that the public is only to be
admitted on two Sundays in each
jreai

J. J. Beneke says that the bowlers
among the florists are beginning to
look to the opening of the season
this week. Messrs. Beneke and Ryan
will bowl in the Royal Arcanum
league, Carl Beyer with the Western
Rowing Club league and Messrs.
Kuehn, Schrlefer and Wibling with
the Manufacturers' league, and it is
possible that these six will form a
team after the regular season and
compete for prizes at the Chicago
convention next August.

Visitor this week: A. Cowan, rep-
resenting the Geo. Wittbold Co., Chi-
cago.

YES, it is right hand; by the residence — hot more than 100
feet from it. And say what you will, that's the way it
should be, when conditions make it possible. What's
the use of having an inside garden way off out of reach?
Von don't locate tl utdoors flower garden that way.

We come out strong on this nearby locating opinion, be-
cause we believe that it is not only an advantage to the
owner, but a decided one to the gardener.

It's only plain common sense that your employer will
keep up a stronger interest in you and what you are doing
if it is but a step to run in and look through the house. The
more Interesting you make it tor him, the more interested he
will be in you; the more valuable you become, and the surer
are your chances for advance and the securing of more houses
(Read that again.) And it's every gardener's ambition to

secure both. When it ■ ies to making such additions you

will particularly need our services. Need them because a house
located near the residence requires careful designing and plan-

Lord

ning, else it will be a botcli affair. Ii is surprising, for ex-
ample, what an attractively fleeigued hood entrance will do
to 6et a plain house off, if it lie rightly placed and consistently
handled. But these and the hundred and one other things
that go to make up a successful greenhouse can't be secured
from builders with but a few year--' experience. You kimw
that well enough. You also know that when you tell your
gardener friends that yours is a "Lord & Burnham house,'*
it means something'. It means you have the very best house
money tan buy. If this were not so. then why do the new
concerns so often refer to their houses as "just as good as
any L. & B. house?" Ever think of that side nf it before?
It simply means, our constructions are the standard construc-
tions now, just as they have always been for half a century
and more.

Send for the catalog (that new 100 pages in colors). It's
a conclusive bit of evidence. We will send one to your em-
ployer if you say so.

LILIUM HARRISII

(The Bermuda Easter l_ i I _y

I— E1T" US supply your- wants in L_ilies this season

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown T ongiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, jlS.OO per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists' Stock

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

If you want to grow your plants to the best possible
advantage give them an application of liquid manure
once or twice a week, as the beds will be full of roots
and in a condition to stand liquid feeding. The best
principle to follow in feeding is to give a little at first
and increase gradually until they are getting it twice a
week. This feeding can go on with all varieties until
the buds show color; after that it tends to make the
flowers soft and of poor keeping quality. Less spray-
ing of the plants will now be necessary as the days are
growing cooler which makes evaporation less. When
the bud is taken and the stem shows signs of thickening,
give less water at the roots and keep the atmosphere of a
dryer nature, but this doesn't mean to let them suffer
for a sufficient amount to keep them in good health,
Where immense flowers of fine depth and finish are
wanted, they can only be obtained by getting the wood
into the right condition of ripeness. If the tempera-
ture of the house falls below 45 degrees at night it is
better to have a gentle warmth in the pipes, and keep a
couple of inches of air on the top ventilators than to
" close the house up tight. See that you have all the fly
disposed of before the flowers show color.

DUTCH BULBS

To be successful in forcing these bulbs, you want a
good compost. Any good loam three parts, to one
part of dry cow manure, and enough sharp sand to
make the compost open will grow good flowers. Where
the above mentioned compost is not handy, of course old
carnation or rose soil that has some fresh loam and old
manure added to it will answer. Don't leave your
bulbs lying around for days, but box or pot them up as
soon as they arrive. When this has been done give
them as much water as the soil will take; this will
plump the bulbs up, and put them in the right condi-
tion to start and make roots. Store them away in some
coldframe or — what is better — a bulb cellar, and keep
dark and moist until they have advanced far enough
with root growth. It takes about five weeks to root
tulips, narcissi, and a week longer to root hyacinths, and
a longer time will give you a more perfect bloom. AH
the foregoing bulbs can be forced in from five to seven
weeks. It is well to remember that all bulbs should be
finished in a cooler temperature of from 48 to 55 de-
grees, which gives the flowers more substance, and
better lasting quality.

GETTING READY FOR FROST

Frost may be expected al any time now, so prepare
by lifting all stock of a tender nature from the field
rows and have them potted or boxed up. Take in all
palms and foliage plants that are in pots and tubs that
have been standing around for decoration. See that
green houses, frames, and sash to be used for storing

such material are thoroughly overhauled and put in
order. Clean out all rubbish and have all repairs, such
as carpentering and glazing attended to with-

out delay. Frames that are holding such stock as cin-
erarias, calceolaria [amen, primulas, etc., should
nave I heir sashi i i idiness how for immediate service
to prevent any damage by cold winds or frosts. Lift a
good many stock plant- of ahutilon, acalypha, fuchsia,
heliotrope, lantana, salvia, etc., pot them up, and place
in a cool house for stock later on.

PLANTING Wli I BOOSING OF PERENNIALS

In order to end right with your planting first make
a drawing of proposed beds and specify each plant's re-
spective position on this drawing. Give study to the
proper mingling of colors, thus avoiding mistakes that
would necessitate replanting. To provide for an equal-
ity of bloom in the border throughout the season, the
date at which the different types flower should also be
taken into account. Another thing to remember is not
to make the common mistake of planting them too close
together. Give each plant sufficient room so that it
can develop to its full size. Plants that grow a foot
high should be set approximately from 8 to 10 inches
apart, two feet high 14 to 16 inches, three feet high 18
to 20 inches and four feet high 22 to 24 inches. These
show borders should form a distinct feature not less
than 10 feet in width, and backed up with a background
of evergreens.

The following is a good list to plant. For the front
row Achillea The Pearl and tomentosa, Arabis albida,
Alyssum saxatile, Campanula carpatica, Heuchera san-
guinea, Iberis sempervirens, Lychnis Viscaria, Sie-
boldi and Haageana, Phlox amcena and sublata alba.
Primula veris. For the second row Anemone Honorine
Jobert, Kriemhilde, and Whirlwind, Aquilegia canaden-
sis, chrysantha alba and nivea grandiflora, Campanula
calycanthema in colors and Medium, Chrysanthemum
maximum in varieties, Coreopsis lanceolata, peonies.
hardy phlox, delphiniums. All these should be about
two feet in height. For the third row you can select
varieties that grow about three feet high of any of the
foregoing. For the fourth row Aconitum Fischeri.
Cimicifuga racemosa, Bocconia cordata, boltonias, Digi-
talis gloxiniaeflora. hollyhocks, helianthus, Eupatorium
purpureum, Hibiscus moscheutos. These are good for
the last row.

PROPAGATION

Those who do a big spring bedding business should
now propagate alternanthera, achyranthes, begonias,
coleus, feverfew, heliotrope, double alyssum, LobelU
Kathleen Mallard, Perilla nankinensis, etc. After they
are rooted pot up all except the alternantheras which
are better to be put in Hats. The others can be grown
on in order to furnish cuttings later for the next year's
supply.

8TEVIAS

Plants that an planted out should be lifted now and
potted into 6 or 8-inch pots, but let them stand out-
side where they can be protected from any frost as it
will make them more robust. When you have to take

them in give the I a houa as possible with lots

of light and air.

Mention is made in our bulb trade note9
This year's this week of the fact that many tulip
tulip bulbs bulbs are tender-skinned this year and

advising care in handling them. The
weather is probably responsible largely for the condi-
tions complained of but the question of soil has, as we
understand it, much to do also with the matter. Tulips
from the north of Holland where cabbages are grown
and the soil is sandy do not show much of the defect
mentioned, the skins being good and firm. Bulbs grown
in the peat soil of southern Holland are the more likely
to have cracked skins for they ripen later and a rainy
spell at the ripening season, as was the case this year,
finding them with a frail and tender skin, is liable to
cause the trouble, which, however, is not at all serious
if they are carefully handled. Certain varieties are
known to all bulb experts to be thin-skinned, one of the
worst being Pottebaker White which, no matter where
it is grown, will crack its skin. We have heard it as-
serted that tulips from sand or clay soil make the best
for forcing, but that for garden planting there is no
advantage either way.

Our news items from several sources

"Killing this week seem to emphasize the truth

with kindness" that there is yet plenty to be learned

and that our most cherished cultural
methods and beliefs are often far from being sound.
In the notes on the recent exhibition in Horticultural
Hall, Boston, special mention is made of the fact that
some of the finest fruit shown came from the far ex-
tremity of Cape Cod. Who ever imagined that this
sandy strip of old Massachusetts had any exceptional
qualifications as a peach growing country? Yet, there
was the evidence, indisputable. Again, take Adiantum
Farleyense, that pampered denizen of the sweltering
stove house. One gardener lias had the temerity to
give it cool treatment and is consequently able to ex-
pose it in the most draughty spot in a cold hall for three
days without showing any ill effects. "Killed with
kindness" is the epitaph which might with exact truth
be inscribed over the grave of many a misjudged acqui-
sition. It i? common knowledge that some of our most
reliable garden plants were for a long period treated as
greenhouse subjects. No doubt there are many things
that would succeed better with less coddling than we
have been giving them.

The exhibition season is now in full

Neglected swing and our columns for the next two

details months will, as in past seasons, teem with

accounts of the triumphs, big and little,
of ambitious rivals and accomplished experts in the art
of growing and showing their productions. One great
and almost universal fault in the reporting and record-
ing of these affairs is the failure to state the principal
points of merit and in many cases, to even give the
name of a winning variety. To make merely the bar-
ren statement that Mr. A. took first prize in the red

class or the blue class, a? the case may be, may tend to
please Mi. A., but, in fact, it is of no great interest to
the majority of readers and is absolutely useless as a
matter of information or education, which is oi should
be the great end and aim of a Bower show. The cor-
respondent is not the only one at fault always. Indeed,
it is rarely that the judges i rouble to fill in anything
but a check-mark or brief word sufficient to identify on
the record the winning exhibit. We think there is room
for much improvement in this respect and feel sure that
our readers would welcome the opportunity to learn
something of the basis of award and the points which
establish superiority in a new introduction or otherwise
notable exhibit, even if the laboriously extended lists of
second and third prize winners in the lesser classes.
which very few care to read, should be crowded out
thereby.

Whatever the loss and annoyance may
The public amount to in the seedsman's business

and pure seed and peace of mind, in consequence of
the widespread agitation over seed
inspection and purity legislation, it becomes evident that
the indirect effect, thus far, is not wholly bad. No seed
house with any self-respect has ever preferred to send
out seeil of inferior quality and where this has been
done it has been because of the failings of the producer
from whom he got his supply or of the unwillingness of
his customers to pay a sufficient price to assure high
quality. This latter was in a large degree due to ignor-
ance, on the part of the public, of the facts as to seed
quality and the consequences of planting low grade rub
bish. Seedsmen are now greatly encouraged by the
very evident awakening of the people to the situation
and the increasing disposition to insist upon high qual-.
ity and an acceptance of the fact that although it is
going to cost more it is by far i lie cheapest in the end, a
condition due in a large degree to the publicity given
this subject in recent years. One unfortunate feature
of the situation up to the present lime is, however, the
immunity allowed the farmi re in that in most of the
pure seed laws tbe\ are exempted from the restrictions
placed upon the dealer- ai d ean and do still continue
in handle large quantitii mo-t nn-erable grade of

unc l.aned. weedy and immature seed. Let us hope that
the time is now near at bind when, backed up by a
discriminating public. I dealer may he enabled to
make it so unprofitable and uncomfortable for the rub-
bish-producing class that they will he exterminated, re-
gardless of the Bpecial li aiency so often accorded them,
for obvious reasons, by those in authority.

Lilies in a Chinese Garden

A Correction

In our editorial note- last week an error stole through
which should be corrected. Budhva '"amahili-" should
have been Budleya asiaticus. This is a white lb-
species and tender. It - admirably adapted in all
respects for use as a dot - s' flower and would take, we
believe in the cut flower markets.

GARDEN NOTES FROM TIDE-
WATER VIRGINIA.

With the increasing prosperity of
the south. >le attention is be-

ing paid to garden making. This is
especially true of the section about
Norfolk, Va. In this tide-water plain
with the little creeks breaking in from
Hampton Koads and Elizabeth River
with a sky Hue of southern pines in
the distance, is a setting for the gar-
den beautiful.

When tide-water Virginia learns to
depend on the flora of her woods and
uses it as Olmsted and Eliot have
used the native flora of New England
in the parks about Boston, and a Pro-
fessor Sargent gathers from the four
corners of the globe the flora adapted
to this region, Norfolk will be to the
plant lover one of the most interest-
ing cities on the Atlantic coast.

One does not realize how rich the
garden flora of this seetiou is until he
has spent a year or two studying it.
There is not a month in the year that
flowers cannot be found in the open
garden. The roses bloom until late in
December to commence again in April
and continue at intervals throughout
the summer. In January and Febru-
ary the winter jasmine, (Jasminum
nudiflorum) brightens the garden with
its yellow flowers, and the bush honey-
suckle (Lonicera fragrantissimaj fills
the air with its fragrance. Before
these have ceased to bloom the rose-
mary lifts its spikes of lavender
flowers above the dark silvery gray
leaves, which give off that delightful
aroma that reminds one of a well-
filled linen chest of long ago. Although
one may feel the need of furs and
overcoats in the damp sea air, there
is not a day from November until
April that in some sheltered nook the
purple violet does not lift its head with
a promise of the spring days when the
yellow and brown wall-flower will vie
with the narcissus and primrose in
transforming the garden into a mass
of golden bloom.

And if one goes to the woods in
these sunny spring days he will find
the air fragrant with the southern
jasmine, (Gelsemium sempervirens)
which adapts itself so readily to the
garden and is not only beautiful when
in flower but adds to the winter land-
scape with its garlands of bronze-
green leaves and clusters of flower
buds ready to burst into yellow bells
-with the first warm days of spring.-

For backgrounds there are many
J>road-leaved evergreens to choose from

both indigenous- and exotic. The na-
tive holly when left untrimmed becomes
a small tree. At the edge of the salt
marshes the bays with their long fra-
grant leaves are almost as beautiful
as the magnolia. Among the sand
dun. s we see the live oak with its
twisted and fantastic branches and the
beautiful yupon (Ilex vomitariai with
its rose red berries. I never shall for-
get the first time 1 saw this shrub used
as a window decoration in Norfolk,
and the trip out into the country on
the day before Christmas to see it
growing in the yard where it had been
planted a hundred years before, not
only as a thing of beauty but that its
leaves might be used for tea. The
sight of the glossy green leaves al-
ways reminds me of the good-natured
colored folks, returning, from town,
tin ir baskets filled with a heteroge-
nous mixture of toys and groceries
for the Christmas holidays.

The laurel-leaved cherry, (Lauro-
cerasus caroliniana). with its dark
green lustrous foliage and racemes of
white flowers in earliest spring is a

of the shrubs that can be used to pro-
duce evergreen effects, and give a con-
tinual bloom during the summer. As
ir. roots so readily one can have them
by the hundreds, and in a year's time
have plants larger than camellias that
have been growing for four or five
years.

There are numbers of broad-leaved
evergreen shrubs that are but little
known, among them the evergreen
privets from China and Japan, with
their shining green leaves and spikes
of cream white flowers in June and
July that remind one of the white li-
lacs of New England. Vibunum tintis
attains the height of ten feet. The
(lowers are creamy white, produced
from February to April, but the flower
buds are bright pink and begin to
show in November, making the shrub
conspicuous throughout the winter.
And the beautiful Abelia granditlora
blooms from June until November,
when the leaves become the most beau-
tiful shades of dark green bronze.

Of the exotic deciduous shrubs the
crape myrtle ( Lagerstroemia indica)

Groundsel ox Hampton Creek in Dece.\ii:eis

American Holly

small tree of great beauty at all sea-
sons and a fit companion for two beau-
tiful evergreens from Japan, the holly-
leaved olive, (Osmanthus aquifolium)
with its fragrant white flowers in
January and the loquat (Eriobotrya
japonica ) with its long leathery leaves
and great bunches of fragrant flowers
which bloom at intervals throughout
the winter; although the fruit does not
mature as far north as Virginia it is
a small tree that has its place in the
backgrounds of a shrubbery border.
The queen of all the broad-leaved ever-
greens of the south (Magnolia grandi-
flora). with its great white wax-like
blossoms in June is quite at home in
this tide-water plain.

Of the evergreen flowering shrubs,
none can rival the Camellia japonica
when in March and April a good sized
specimen is laden with hundreds of
waxy blossoms and the cape jasimine
(Gardenia florida), soon follows to
continue until frost with its fragrant
creamy white flowers. It is only in
the coldest winters that the oleander
is cut to the ground. Although it does
not attain the size that it does farther
south, it should be considered as one

is one of the most beautiful as well as
one of the most common. It is hard
to imagine a plant more beautiful than
this shrub when in bloom from July
to October. There is a great variation
in color from white to shades of pur-
ple red but if care is taken in selec-
tion fine color effects can be produced,
as some of the flowers are of the most
exquisite shades of pink. As far as I
know there are no named varieties, the
only division in the nursery catalogues
being L. alba and L. rubra. If one or-
ders ten plants of L. rubra from a
nursery, he may get anything from
the most offensive shades of purple to
the most beautiful shades of pink. I
have found the most satisfactory way
is to tag the plants I want when in
bloom or to take suckers from an old
shrub of the desired shade. As plants
bloom when small the latter method is
quite satisfactory.

One of the most conspicuous shrubs
in May is the pomegranate with its
double scarlet flowers like great car-
nations against the dark glossy green
leaves. Care must be taken not to
set them near the crape myrtle as
they continue to bloom for some time

September 16, 1911

and a worse combination of colors
cannot be imagined than the scarlet
of the pomegranate and rose shades
of the crape myrtle. There are both
yellow and white varieties of the
pomegranate also a single scarlet va-
riety that to me is fully as pleasing
as the double although it does not
seem to be as free a bloomer. A
number of shrubs that are half hardy
farther north are especially adapted
to this section. Varieties of spirea,
deutzia and forsythia that are often
killed to the ground, grow to giants
in this climate and are among the
most useful spring-flowering shrubs.

Of the native shrubs the groundsel
(Bacchaxis halimifolia) also hardy
north, is one of the most showy for
autumn effects with its white feathery
appendages to the seeds. Like many
of our American shrubs it is neglected
for those that are not nearly as good.
It will grow in the wettest or driest
ground and when used against a back-
ground of dark foliage in large masses
in a border shrubbery, is especially
effective. It is dioecious and a few
of the staminate plants should be set
with the pistillate. Another effective
autumn shrub that is worthy of intro-
duction to the garden is the bush mul-
berry (Callicarpa americana). Its
pink flowers in midsummer are incon-
spicuous, but the violet purple ber-
ries which follow and last until early
winter are a sight not to be forgotten,
as the graceful sprays literally bend
with fruit.

CLARENCE FOWLER.

Fortress Monroe, Va.

TWO LONG ISLAND BULB FARMS.

E. S. Miller.

E. S. .Miller, Wading River. X. Y.,
is an address familiar to most read-
ers of HORTICULTURE'S advertising
columns as well as to all the leading
seed and bulb interests generally for
the past few years. Mr. Miller gave
up his position at Floral Park where
he had been for many years, nine years
ago, and started the enterprise in his
native place, Wading River, 70 miles
east of New York City, on the Long
Island railroad. He has thirty acres
under cultivation, of which fully one-
half is devoted to gladioli. In this
specialty seedling raising is his great
hobby, and one of the best evidences
of his success in this line is the fine
variety recently introduced by Peter
Henderson & Co.. under the name of
Fascination. At the present time he
has more than 300 selected seedlings
under number the product of several
generations of selections from the
progeny of the finest named varieties
of American and foreign origin. The
three sections — Gandavensis, Lemoi-
nei and Childsi are kept apart and
distinct in the fields. In the true
Childsi no yellows have thus far ap-
peared, and whites are rare, but in
the other sections both these colors
are freely produced. Mr. Miller has
one white of which he has great hopes.
It is practically pure white and stays
so, showing none of the pink tint
with age which is found in Augusta
and other standard whites and has
from five to eight flowers open at a
time.

Mr. Miller does not regard the cut-
ting of the flower stalks as necessary
to the welfare of the bulbs unless they
start to set seed pods. All such are

amputated as soon as there is evi-
dence of seeding.

A large space is given up to seed-
lings and young planting stock of
lilies which, as is generally known,
are a leading specialty with Mr. Mil-
ler. Of tenuifolium there are no less
than 150,000 and of Henryi 50,000.
Elegans is represented by many varie-
ties, few of which can equal for
sturdiness and beauty the variety
Leonard Joerg which was raised and
named by Hallock. Peter Barr is a
recent elegans introduction which is
still high in price. It is an orange yel-
low, brighter in color than any other
yellow elegans except Alice Wilson
which is a very weak grower. Lilium
davuricum is fine as is also Thumbergii
Sanguineum.. Marhan is about all
dead from disease, which is greatly to
be regretted, as this is a very fine
cross between Martagon and Hansoni
with the color and odor of the former
and the other qualities as in the latter.
Hansoni is in the same predicament,
being badly killed out by the fungous
disease, a remedy for which is still un-
found. Between the two white specio-
surns — Kraetzeri and praecox, Mr.
Miller states that he sees no differ-
ence except in the color of the anthers
and he agrees with the views of A. S.
Burns, Jr., as expressed in these
columns recently as to the difficulty
of distinguishing between straight
rubrum and "magnificum" as found in
commercial stocks.

The present has been a bad season
for lilies and there has been a very
poor set of seed. Replying to a ques-
tion Mr. Miller stated that he could see
no difference in any respect between
lilies propagated by offsets and those
raised from seed.

Of callas there is a wide assortment
— seedlings and otherwise. Elliottiana
— which is still the best — Mr. Roose-
velt, Pentlandii and other yellows are
seen in quantity. C. Rehmannii is a
very pretty little rosy pink flowered
one. Hastata as seen here is diseased
and not worth growing. Several
oxalises make a gorgeous effect in
long solid rows, O. Deippi rosea, with
nodding pink flowers borne high above
the massed foliage having the effect
of a good bedding begonia. This with
O. lasandria are valuable subjects for
use in long borders especially on
large estates.

Mr. Miller confesses to being a
sort of "crank" on odd things, and de-
votes considerable room and time to a
variety of bulbous material not often
seen in nurseries. Clidanthus fragrans.
which might be described as a yellow
zephyranthes, but it does not flower
very freely. There is also Zephyr-
anthes sulphurea. Z. Candida blooms
profusely all summer until frost. Its
hardiness is not yet proven, but as a
hardy bulb it would be a great acquisi-
tion.

John Lewis Childs.
Although far removed from the well-
known headquartei s at Floral Park
and the great central market of New
York. John Lewis Childs' big nei
tablishment at Flowerfield, Long.
Island, is well worthy of a visit and
will fully repay the visitor for tl:e
time and trouble taken. It is under
the charge of Leonard Joerg who
has been eighteen years in the employ
of Mr. Childs. and was previously with
Hallock, Son & Thorpe for nineteen

years, and is looked upon as the best
informed man on the gladiolus in this
country.

Flowerfield is a seemingly boundless
expanse of color; field after field all
aglow with bloom. Mr. Joerg says "at
least 150 acres of bulb plantations,
mainly gladioli." After a drive around
and among them one is not disposed
to question his estimate. There are
X00 acres all told in this vast flower
and vegetable farm which was

; lired only two years ago, the first

planting being-done a year ago last
sining. A prodigious amount of work
has been done within that brief time
—clearing, plowing, planting, manur-
ing, harvesting, road building, etc.,
and is still being prosecuted. Fifty-
toui men, Mr. Joerg says, is the full
quota of help, which seems almost In-
significant when the extent of terri-
tory covered and the excellent condi-
tion of everything are considered.
Eight men are kept busy most of the
time during the flowering season, cut-
ting gladiolus stalks and getting them
ready for shipment. From fifteen to
twenty-four thousand spikes are ship-
ped daily — mostly to New York. They
are practically a "by-product," as the
plants are grown for the bulbs, but
the net income from this item, aver-
ages one hundred dollars a day dur-
ing the blooming season. The spikes
are cut as soon as the lower buds are
ready to open and before any flowers
have expanded. The removal of the
spikes is regarded as beneficial to the
bulbs.

The new buildings on the place
are an ornamental railroad station
and a storage shed, 90x200, with
cement walls and floor and a base-
ment 40x90. Here the cut flowers are
packed and shipped and extensive
storage facilities for bulbs are pro-
vided. A glass-roofed building for
storage and spring starting of roots
such as cannas, etc., is now being
erected. In the gladiolus section over
1100 named varieties are under culti-
vation. Many acres are also devoted
to cannas, dahlias, montbretias,
zyphyranthes, crinums, tritomas,
tigridias, ismenes, irises, etc. The
culture of squash, cabbage, melons,
lettuce, corn and many other vege-
table crops for seed production is also
extensively carried on.

AT WABAN CONSERVATORIES.

Alexander Montgomery is very
much pleased with the performance
thus far of his seedling rose, Virginia
Burrage, which might be described as
an improved Wellesley, having all the
satiny pink lustre of that variety
without its defect of excessive thorn
production and being entirely free
from "bull-heads." A quantity which
will be immediately appreciated by
the rose growing fraternity is the ab-
sence of any necessity for "pinching,"
all the growths being long and
straight, and thus much labor and ful-
ly three weeks' time in bringing out
a crop are saved. Mr. Montgomery
has' other seedlings going through
their lessons which will be heard from
i m. There is a double Richmond
sport which should find a welcome
when it is disseminated. Among the
■in introductions the most charm-
ing of all is Lady Hillingdon. As
grown here it is worth going a long
« ay to see.

10. It was extensive and fairly good
as to dahlias, grand as to gladioli and
magnificent in extent and quality of
the fruit and vegetable displays.

The finest feature in the hall was
the collection of orchard-house fruits
shown by James Marlborough, gar-
dener to Thos. E. Proctor, Topsfield,
Mass. This superb exhibit of the gar-
deners' skill included, besides cut
grapes and other fruits, potted trees
of apple, pear and plum bearing ripe
fruit. The tender grapes included
Muscat of Alexandria, Mrs. Pearson.
Golden Queen, Chasselas. Napoleon
and others in whites, and Black Ham-
burgh, Black Allicante, Gros Maroc,
Appley Towers, etc., in black. A gold
medal was given this display. All the
fruit classes were well filled with well-
grown specimens and attracted much
attention. Some of the finest apples
and peaches ever shown here came
from the extreme end of Cape Cod.
where, a few years ago, it would have
been thought impossible to grow
peaches. Reverting to Mr. Proctor's
display, special mention should be
made of the Adiantum Parleyense
plants, which Mr. Marlborough used
as1 a decorative adjunct. There were
half a dozen specimens in 12-inch pots
which were as luxuriant and beautiful
as any grown under the high tempera-
ture culture usually followed, but
which stood without being affected in
the slightest degree by the cold
draughts from the doors near which
they were located because of the cool
temperature in which they had been
grown.

The dahlias were as usual shown in
great numbers, but there were few
novelties and little evidence of ad-
vancement over existing varieties. The
quality throughout was not remark-
able as compared with the displays
of recent years, the peculiar weather
conditions having been, no doubt, re-
sponsible for this fact. The principal
prizes were won by J. K. Alexander.
W. D. Hathaway, W. P. Lothrop, Mrs.
L. A. Towle, Forbes & Keith and
Mrs. L. M. Towle. Certificates of
merit were given to J. H. Flint for
seedling Decorative Dorothy Flint
and Forbes & Keith, seedling Cactus
Rosy Pink; honorable mention to
Geo. B. Gill for seedling Cactus Mrs.
E. M. Gill and J. H. Flint for seed-
ling Decorative Hetta.

B. Hammond Tracy showed a re-
markably large and splendidly grown
group of gladioli. The arrangement,
which we believe was the work of
Mrs. Tracy, was artistic and beautiful
and the entire display was well wor-
thy of the silver medal bestowed.
Other awards were: Certificate of
merit to Walter Hunnewell for Laelio-
Cattleya Gottoiana var. Wellesleyen-
sis; honorable mention to Mrs. Freder-
ick Ayer for Cibotium Schiedei, R. &
J. Farquhar & Co. for exhibit of lilies
and B. Hammond Tracy for Gladiolus
primulinus. Also a certificate of merit
to James S. Bache for seedling tomato,
Bache Abundance.

The Farquhar exhibit comprised

mainly Lilium auratum, Henryi and
leucanthum. It might be well to
state here that this last named lily
has been known both as leucanthum
and leucanthemum. It has now been
decided by the proper authorities that
leucanthum is the better form, and
that name will consequently be used
henceforth.

Special Vegetable Exhibition.
On September 21-24, inclusive, an
extensive vegetable exhibition will be
held at Horticultural Hall. In addi-
tion to the premiums offered by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
$500 has been contributed in prizes by
the Boston Market Gardeners' Associa-
tion. The prizes for collection of
twenty kinds o£ vegetables are $100.
$G0, $40 and in this, as in other not-
able classes, lively competition is as-
sured.

CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Chicago Florists' Club was held Thurs-
day, September 7th, at the Union Res-
taurant, President Philpott in the
chair. There was a large attendance
and nine applications for membership
were filed as follows: Dominick
Freres, Paul Weiss, Arthur Schmidt,
Henry Meyer, Paul Amling, Wm.
Berschof, Walter Amling, Wm. Lor-
man, W. H. Mann.

Allie Zeck, chairman of the sports
committee, reported that the new Ben-
singer alleys had been secured for the
season and all further arrangements
for the winter's bowling were left by
vote of the club to the sports commit
tee. A report of the Baltimore con-
vention was made by Geo. Asmus, who
also recommended a letter of thanks
to the Baltimore Club. After some
discussion it was voted that all com
mittees for the entertainment of the
S. A. F. in Chicago in 1912 should be
appointed by the club president and
read at the next meeting. A. T. Pyfer,
A. Zeck, A. C. Kohlbrand, H. N. Bruns
and E. C. Amling were appointed a
committee to provide entertainment
for the next meeting, October 5th,
which will be in celebration of the
25th anniversary of the club,
which occurs November 3. It was
also voted to have a banquet, October
5th, which should include the 1 adies.
C. W. Johnson was appointed manager
of the Chrysanthemum Show to be
held by the club on November 2nd.

GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' CLUB
OF BOSTON.

The next regular meeting of the
Club will be held at Horticultural
Hall. Tuesday evening, September 19,
at 7.30 o'clock. There will be no reg-
ular speaker, but several members,
including Thomas Pegler, T. J. Grey
and W. J. Collins will give short ac-
counts of recent European trips. As
there is considerable business of im-
portance to transact the hour set for
the meeting is earlier than usual.

It is desired to have a short session
and join with the Vegetable Growers'
Association of America whose conven-
tion opens at Horticultural Hall the
same evening, and which the Club is
invited to attend. It is hoped there
will be a large attendance at this
meeting. W. N. CRAIG, Sec.

NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB.

The opening meeting of the New
York Florists' Club for the season
was held on Monday evening, Sept. 11,
at the Grand Opera House and was
attended by a representative assem-
blage of about sixty members. The
recent death of their fellow member,
John Birnie, was a leading topic.
President Nugent spoke in kindly
vein in memory of this useful and
loyal man and was followed by C. H.
Totty who read the report of the com-
mittee appointed to present resolu-
tions, the members standing during
the reading. Messrs. Berry, Bunyard,
Weathered and others added words
of tribute and it was voted to have
a copy of the resolutions engrossed
and sent to Mrs. Birnie. J. Austin
Shaw read resolutions on the death of
Charles R. Armitage and H. A. Bun-
yard on the death of the little
daughter of Charles Schenck.

Resolutions of thanks were passed
to the Society of American Florists
and the Gardeners' and Florists' Club
of Baltimore for kindness and sym-
pathy displayed on the occasion of
Mr. Birnie's death and to the latter
club for hospitable entertainment ex-
tended throughout the convention. A
motion was passed authorizing the ex-
hibition committee to purchase tables
and vases for the club's use.

F. H. Traendly reported for the
transportation committee, mentioning
particularly the courtesies extended by
the B. & O. R. R. on the Baltimore
trip.

The question of the next National
Flower Show was brought up by F.
H. Traendly, with the statement that
the New Grand Central Palace will be
the finest hall in the country for such
an exhibition, and recommending that
the New York Florists' Club get in
first with an invitation to the S. A.
F. Flower Show committee to hold the
next show in New York in 1913. R-
M. Schultz, C. B. Weathered, W. C.
Rickards, H. A. Bunyard, R. E.
Berry, W. J. Elliott and others fol-
lowed with enthusiastic approval of
the proposition, and a motion extend-
ing the invitation accordingly offered
by C. H. Totty was unanimously car-
ried.

On the exhibition tables were 33
named varieties of gladioli from John
Lewis Childs, conspicuous among
which were the following varieties:
Cardinal. Wm. Falconer, Scribe, Baron
Hulot, Blanche, Spot, America, Dawn,
Attraction, I. S. Hendrickson, Dorothy,
Burnham, Princeps, Sulphur King,
Sunshine, Triton and Pfitzer. From E.
S. Miller came Fascination, White 88
and several other seedling gems
under number. From Frank Banning,
Kinsman, O. there were Panama and
No. 1900 a fine red seedling. Wm.
Tricker showed pot plants of Vinca
minor aurea. The awards committee
gave cultural certificates to Messrs.
Childs and Banning and vote of thanks
to the others. As a mark of respect
to the late John Birnie an early ad-
journment was taken.

NEW JERSEY FLORICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

After an intermission of two months
the New Jersey Floricultural Society
held their regular monthly meeting,
Friday evening, September 8th, in
Lindsley Hall, Orange. This being glad-
iolus night, John Lewis Childs, Floral
Park, L. L, offered a silver cup for
the best 24 spikes of gladiolus, four
or more varities, which was won by
Charles Hathaway, gardener Max
Schneider. A. B. Jenkins, gardener
Fritz Berglund was second. William
Tricker was present with a fine col-
lection of outdoor roses, Buddleya va-
riabilis magnifica, and vinca minor
aurea which attracted a great deal of
attention.

John R. Le Count of Maplewood, N.
J., donated a handsome silver cup. It
will more than likely be competed for
at the chrysanthemum show in No-
vember. The Society will hold their
annual dahlia show afternoon and
evening, September 30th.

The judges, George B. Wilson,
Charles W. Ashmead and Arthur T.
Caparn made the following awards:

Brasso-Laelia Veitchii, Lager &
Hurrell, 92 points; Dendrobium formo-
sum, Thomas Jones, 85; Dahlias. Fritz
Berglund, 70; Asters, Max Schneider,
86. Cultural certificates to Lager &
Hurrell for orchids, and Max Schnei-
der for fruit. First class certificate
to Wm. Tricker for outdoor roses and
rare plants. WM. REID, Sec'y.

Orange, N. J.

WESTCHESTER AND FAIRFIELD
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

At the meeting on Friday evening,
September 8, the exhibition commit-
tee reported on final schedule for the
fall show and have provided many
classes for the large and small grow-
ers with substantial prizes for both.
Three honorary and two active mem-
bers were elected and eight proposi-
tions accepted. B. W. Popp gave in-
teresting talk on his experience with
the culture of dahlias. J. M. Brown,
honorary member, entertained with a
review of his recent three months'
trip through Great Britain. M. C.
Ebel of Madison, N. J., was present
and spoke about the National Garden-
ers' Association and Morris County
Horticultural Society exhibition this
fall.

The judges awarded cultural certifi-
cates to P. W. Popp and A. Whitlaw
for dahlia displays, vote of thanks for
a seedling Laelio-Cattleya from Car-
rillo & Baldwin and highly com-
mended a display of apples from
Alex Geddes.

J. B. McARDLE, Sec'y.

THE BERNARDSVILLE SHOW.

The second annual exhibition given
by the Horticultural and Agricultural
Society in the Auditorium, September
6-7, was a complete success in every
way. Competition was very keen, par
ticularly in the classes for cut flowers
and vegetables. The judges, Messrs.
Arthur Herrington of Madison, Jos.
O'Brien of Mount Kisco, Wm. Walls
of Katonah, Robert Seymour of Ber-
nardsville, gave entire satisfaction.
The numerous entries made the work
of judging hard and the excellent
quality of both vegetables and fruit

was very gratifying, especially when
the dry season is considered.

A feature of the exhibition was
samples of field corn of the Long-
fellow variety, with stalks 14 feet long
carrying ears that measured 16 inches
in length, grown by Wm. Elias, super-
intendent for M. P. Bliss.

The centre of attraction in the hall
was a mound of Dendrobium Sanderse
with foliage plants, a splendid group
staged by Wm. Duckham, gardener at
the James estate, Madison, and an
easy winner for the prize offered by
Lord & Burnham Co. — a gold watch.

M. Linton, gardener to M. P. Bliss,
was first in cut flowers with a fine
collection of lilies, dahlias and an-
nuals. W. A. Manda, South Orange,
N. J., staged a choice collection of
foliage plants, not for competition.

DURING RECESS.

CINCINNATI FLORISTS' SOCIETY.

A well-attended meeting of the Flor-
ists' Society was held on Monday at
the club rooms in the Flower Market.
An invitation from the Chicago Flor-
ists' Club was referred to the secre-
tary and the secretary of the bowling
club to find out the number of mem
bers who would attend and see if a
bowling team could be obtained for a
tournament there. The Flower Show
committee reported that they had
everything well in hand and stated
that they would like to know if possi-
ble, what prospective exhibitors in-
tend to stage. Immediately before ad-
journment Al. Heckman on behalf of
himself and the other four men, viz..
C. E. Critchell, Capt. Wm. Schumann,
Al Horning and R. C. Witterstactter,
who formed the team that represented
Cincinnati at the recent convention at
Baltimore, presented Chas. H. Hoff-
meister with a silver shaving set as
a token of their appreciation for his
part in getting the team together to
go East and for his successful manage-
ment of the outing and bowling the
past year.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

On Friday, September 8, Christopher
Clarke of Northampton entertained a
party of members of the Eastern
Branch of the American Association
of Park Superintendents at the Sum-
mit House on top of Mt. Holyoke,
Mass.

The annual meeting of the Bar Har-
bor Horticultural Society was held
Thursday evening, Sept. 7, in the Main
street store of the Mt. Desert Nurse-
ries, when the following directors
were chosen for the coming year: Hon.
Francis Burton Harrison, John H. Stal-
ford, Clarence E. Dow, Edward Kirk
and A. E. Chilman. At the meeting of
the board of directors, held immediate-
ly afterwards, the following officers
were elected: Hon. Francis Burton
Harrison, president; Louis B. McCagg,
first vice-president; William Miller,
second vice-president; William T. Bur-
ton, third vice-president; Charles
Shand, recording secretary; Clifford F.
Came, financial secretary; William T.
Burton, treasurer; and John H. Stal-
ford, sergeant-at-arms. The reports
of the officers and standing commit-
tees were all very satisfactory and
showed an excellent condition of the
affairs of the association. There are
now 160 members in good standing.

Chicago Bowlers.
The Chicago Florists will open the
bowling season Sept. 27th, at the new
Bensinger's Alleys, 29 W. Randolph
street. The new place is very desir-
able, having a seating capacity of 500.

New York Bowlers.

On Monday afternoon, September
11, previous to the meeting of the
New York Florists' Club the following
scores were recorded:

Mauda, 144 17C Ebel, 129 125

Scott, 118 128 Roehrs, 112 106

A. Rlckards, 147 109 Shaw,

Chadwick, 177 158

St. Louis Bowlers.
Reports have been making the
rounds that a bowling league will be
organized composed of the employes
of the four wholesale houses and the
four bosses, Messrs. Kuehn, Smith,
Berning and Augermuller will be
asked to donate prizes and assist
them in organizing the teams. Those
eligible are: Will Ossick, G. Schriefer,
P. Patton, Al. Gums, Arthur Meyer,
H. Schlechter, Fred. Alves, F. Wind-
ier, Otto Bruening, Oscar Kuehn and
Wm. Mitthoefer. This will promote
good fellowship and a pleasant time
at least one night each week.

Bar Harbor Outing.
The annual field day of the Bar Har-
bor (Me.) Horticultural Society was
held on Sept. 5, at Robin Hood Park
and there was a big attendance of
gardeners and their wives and families.
This event has been a regular one
looked forward to with expectation by
the club members and everybody was
out for a good time. A programme of
all sorts of sports was arranged and
the speedy as well as the muscular had
an opportunity of proving their
prowess. Last year the sports were
held at Eden, but this year it was de-
cided to hold the affair a little nearer
home.

ST. LOUIS NOTES.

Alex Johnson, the Wellston florist,
has added two new greenhouses to
his already large plant. He is using
his cut at his Wellston retail store.

Miss Matilda Meinhardt has re-
turned from her summer trip in Eu-
rope. The Ladies' Home Circle of
which she is secretary, met in her
honor at Chautauqua, 111., on Tues-
day, Sept. 12.

A young man by the name of E. R.
Methudy reports that he will start to
build a greenhouse plant on his 65-
acre ground in St. Louis County with
at least 20,000 feet of glass for a
starter. Mr. Methudy's present ad-
dress is 5943 Eastern Ave.

Andrew Frick, foreman at the C.
Young & Sons' greenhouse plant on
Waterman Ave., shot and killed him-
self and wife one day last week. It
is said that he was crazed by the
heat. They leave five children. They
came here from Paducah, Ky.. a few
years ago.

Harry Young & Son will open a re-
tail flower store at 4651 Maryland
Ave. Mr. Young was until recently
connected with the firm of C. Young
& Sons at the greenhouses. He is
treasurer of the St. Louis Horticul-
tural Society and well-known in local
trade circles.

HORTICULTURE

September 16, 1911

DECORATIVE STOCK AT DREER'S.

It having been whispered that
were many new and interesting
things to be seen at Dreer's that the
ra of HORTICULTURE would be
glad to hear about, we put a pedomi
in our jeans, took Sawbones Lane
along as a germ protector, and
tackled the job. Alter six hours of
strenuous work, tagging after .Mr.
iii* pedometer buret, and the
doctor had arrived at the saturation
One of the first vistas to greet
us was a block of fifty thousand Areca
lutescens three plants to a pot — a
bigger one in the center. It developed
in the course of conversation that the
best demand for areca is in the south-
ern states. It seems to fit conditions
down there better than any other
variety, but it is not so popular in the
north as formerly.

A good idea of the relative im-
portance of Kentia Belmoreana and K.
Forsteriana may be gleaned from the
fact that here we find the former in
three-inch pots two million strong,
whereas the latter is only grown
about one-eighth as many, or one-
quarter million. Belmoreana is the
popular palm idol of the day, and a
close second is the dainty Cocos
Wedelliana, a block of which covering
some twelve thousand square feet of
space, was a sight to make one dance
with pure joy. Like all the palms at
Dreer's these are clean foliaged, shiny
and perfect. Last year's seed came
up well, quite a contrast to two years
ago. when, out of a lot of two hun-
dred thousand seeds, only seventy-five
plants resulted. The regular ex-
pectation is from sixty-five to seventy
per cent. It is surmised that the
trouble two years ago lay with the un-
conscionable scoundrels in Buenos
Ay res. shipping old seed; or else that
the seed got damaged on the steamer.
The Dreers have one block of three
hundred thousand this year (in addi-
tion to the stock mentioned above)
being grown along, and strictly re-
served as a nucleus for next year's
sales

Now come eight more houses — a
vista of Belmoreana, Forsteriana and
lutescens — six, seven, nine-inch,
many in tubs — they look better in tubs
although they don't seem to cost any
more. We saw some nine-inch Fors-
teriana with a fine spread and good
finish, for only four dollars. Again,
as showing how values go, we saw
splendid arecas in seven-inch pots for
two dollars that would appeal to the
ordinary observer as easily worth
five. And there are still other houses
of palms, big specimens — the ten to
twenty-five dollar kinds.

Now we move out of the palm
groves and strike into other scenes,
the first being something we can't
see the sense of until it is carefully
explained to us, an acre or so of roses
in pots, big plants, 2-year, 3-year or as
maybe. Hut why under glass? Why
not out in the open field, getting
iied up? The explanation that they
can be better handled; that they are
outside bye and bye and get
frozen, and then come back again
under glass for spring sales may be
all right ; but to our dense under-
standing there seems something more
to be explained. There are all kinds
of them: Hybrid Teas, Bourbons,

Ramblers. Koinontants; and we get a
nice bunch of bloom to lake home on
the train. Bui we are not. at all sat-
isfied in our own minds that we have
this thing down fine. One must dig
sometimes and be even rude In ques-
tioning to get anywhere. We saw our
old friend Gloire de Dijon and are told
that this one does well here as an out-
door summer rose, but that Marechal
Neil under similar conditional is no
good.

Pot-grown Hiawatha, Dorothy Per-
kins and all the other popular Ram-
bler varieties are here in trained
specimens, lour to eight feet, and in
all Shapes. We can readily understand
the reason for those being in pots and
in frames, as they are obviously in-
tended for winter and Easter forcing
and are no doubt much better than
outdoor stock for that purpose.

We glance in passing at a block of
fifteen thousand thrifty giant-flowering
cyclamen under slats, that are being
grown on for Christmas. They are
Dreer's own strain seed saved from se-
lected plants — the kind that George D.
Clark would describe perhaps as the
"unsurpassable."

The Araucaria department is part-
ly in the open — that is, the structures
are not greenhouses but composed of
lath giving partial shade and plenty
of air; 75,000 in one block — excelsa,
excelsa glauca, robusta compacta and
plumosus. We are invited to pick out
which we would prefer as between ro-
busta and plumosus and were unlucky
enough to prefer the wrong one. Plu-
mosus is the deeper green, while we
preferred the lighter green of robusta
we were assured that that is not the
general verdict — just the opposite, plu-
mosus being by far the best seller and
comparatively scarce on that account.

Camellia japonica — a nice lot well
set with buds. This old favorite of
fifty years ago is regaining some of its
ancient popularity, and the demand the
past few seasons has been quite con-
siderable. Begonia Duke Zeppelin and
Lafayette are flowering profusely in
frames at present. They are the left-
overs of these magnificent bedding va-
rieties from spring sales and are mak-
ing fine stock for next season.

Now we come to a few frames of
ferns that are the special pride of
James Clark, the fern expert.

Todea Africana is not new, but a
species whose value as a house plant
has not until recently been recognized.
It is especially pretty as here seen in
six-inch pans as a table fern, of a rich,
deep green color, and when produced
in quantity should also prove valuable
as a dish-fern in small sizes. Scolo-
pendrium omcinarum undulatum is a
variety of the evergreen British Harts-
tongue in which the foliage is deeply
undulated or wavy. It is a favorite in
a shady corner of the rockery and per-
fectly hardy but as grown here in four
or five-inch pots, it should find a
place among decorative ferns and will
make a fine subject for window boxes
for the winter in a protected position.
Dracena fragrans, Massangeana, and
Lindeni show up in large blocks and
in fine condition. Cocos flexuosus is
a very graceful plant. There is con-
siderable demand for it for decorative
purposes and it is grown here quite
extensively. This variety and plumo-
sus are used in Florida and California
for outdoor planting. Kentia San-
deriana we find in limited quantity.

This is a dwarf grower of elegant and
graceful habit. Beautiful bright
green. Rather high-priced as yet but
desirable as a novelty where some-
thing extra choice is wanted.

Returning to the fern kingdom,
passing a house of Adiantum Farley-
ense we now come to the sensation of
the visit which our guides have evi-
dently been holding back until the
last minute — Adiantum Farleyense,
Glory of Moordrecht. The despair of
the fern growers of the world hereto-
fore has been to get Farleyense to
seed. How this clever Dutchman at
Moordrecht managed to find one that
did — nobody knows. We compared
Glory with Farleyense in all stages
and it is absolutely the same — only it
gives fertile spores, and that is a
fact of immense importance. We can
now have this recognized aristocrat
of the fern family by the million. The
first importation of plants received at
Dreer's last summer seeded nicely and
by next spring they will have at;
least twenty thousand young plants
out of one small batch. This variety
is known as the Glory Fern in Lon-
don and other places (Adiantum Far-
leyense glorlosa) but it is the same
thing — Glory of Moordrecht. All the
good things that have been said of it
we believe to be quite true and well
authenticated by Mr. Clark and other
fern experts. The Glory of Moordrecht
is undoubtedly the fern sensation of
the day. The sporty Nephrolepis has
held the center of the stage these
many years, but the new and brilliant
star outshines it in all directions.

Another sensational new thing —
only in a slightly lesser degree than
the Glory Fern— is the Cyrtomium
Rochfordianum, a crested form 0f the
old favorite, "Holly Fern." Last spring
what few plants were to offer in 8-inch
pots were quickly disposed of at $5
each and many more could have been
sold. The pinnae are deeply cut
and undulated and the color is also
much deeper and glossier. It is ex-
cellent, not only for fern pans but
also for specimens. We understand
that by the 1st of November a splen-
did batch will be ready in six-inch
pots that can be offered as low as a
dollar each. Of Cibotium Schiedei
here there must be nearly an acre.
We never saw so many of this mag-
nificent decorative fern together be-
fore and they were worth going a
long way to see.

Ananas sativa variegata is a name
easily remembered — it sounds so like
Ananias. Of course this is the varie-
gated pine apple, and a splendid
batch of several thousand plants are
to be seen here. This pine apple in
richness and variety of coloring far
outshines Pandanus Veitchii and the
only reason it has not been the leader
was the higher price. But that is
past now. Fine plants in from four
to six-inch pots are offered at from
50 cents to $1.50 this year.

Many more things we saw in ferns
and foliage plants — alocassias, maran-
tas and so forth, but our story is al-
ready long enough and we must re-
gretfully bid good-bye to a most en-
grossing topic with which we could
fill several numbers of HORTICUL-
TURE. Peonies, phloxes and Jap-
anese iris are now going out by the
million. Our field days on these
ought to have come earlier.

ROOT-GRAFTING STRAWBERRIES.

Editor HORTKTLTT'RE:

I wrote you last year regarding an
experiment I made in root-grafting of
strawberries. You advised testing it
still further. I have done so, writh
similar results You may remember
that 1 grafted together two pistillates
and the plant lived and bore several
berries. After bearing 1 lifted the
plant and set it in another place
where it blossomed and fruited again
and made several runner plants.
This spring both parent plant and
runner plants blossomed and fruited,
but the exceedingly dry and extreme-
ly hot weather injured both plant
and berries. It has proved to be a
fall-bearing variety, but I cannot say
much in its favor. There are fall-
bearing varieties that far surpass it.
Yet the novelty — and what is very
difficult to understand — is that the
plants grafted were both pistillates
and the plant resulting is a staminate.
Last August I grafted the same varie-
ties— Fendall and Autumn — and again
the plant produced is a staminate, ana
is now in blossom, although not put
out until after fruiting season. I
grafted several other varieties and
they bloomed and fruited, but at the
time I was ill and cannot say what
the fruit was like. The plants are
doing well, hut I must wait until an-
other fruiting season for results. In
case, however, Fendall pistillate
and Pan American staminate were
grafted together and the plants pro-
duced are> fall-bearing, and are at
present in bloom with fruit, both
green and ripe. They, too, will require
another season for perfect results.

I cannot say that any advantage
over old methods will grow out of it.
The method is new, however, and to
me interesting. There is much to be
learned — the best varieties to graft,
the best method of grafting, the best
time to graft, spring or fall, and if
of any real value to berry producers,

and whether the same method can be
applied to other products. I am too
aged and feeble to do much in any
direction. Possibly others may be-
come interested and take it up.

Great Barrington, Mass. — Dolby
Bros, have recently purchased two
iron-frame greenhouses from M. Pen-

are rebuilding them on their place on
Humphrey street.

Our position in the trade
is somewhat like that of an
umpire of a base ball

have some enemies, for no
man can have friends with-
out enemies. However, we
go right along pounding
stone and doing what we
believe is right, whether it
be for our own good or for
the good of the hive in
general. We make mis-
takes to be sure, but ul-
timately we hope to be bet-
ter understood and want
the good will of all. Now
there is one secret we have
and we're going to let you
in on it. It's a sort of wom-
an's secret though, and you
know a woman has only
two views of a secret
either it's not worth keep-
ing or it's too good to be
kept. Our secret is too
good to keep so you may
tell it to anyone you want,
and it's just this, that
Horseshoe Brand Lily
Bulbs have honestly got
most other brands skinned

labor is expended upon
them than you have any
idea of. Nothing that hu-
man hands can do is left
undone to make them bet-

as reasonable as we can af-
ford to sell them. Try them
if you don't know them
they are money-makers.

Latest advices are to the effect that
on pea deliveries the European seed
pea contractors will be able to do
about 10 per cent.

There is a decided shortage of some
kinds of tulips in Holland. Darwins
are especially inadequate for the heavy
demand this year.

Many tulips have very tender skins
this year, on account of the unkind
weather in Holland. They should be
kept in the bags as much as possible
and not exposed to light and air more
than necessary. Seedsmen who deal
in bulbs are taking the precaution to
advise their customers to this effect as
careless handling resulting in scratch-
ing or bruising of the exposed bulb
flesh is sure to cause decay and loss.

trying to producers of vegetables.

chased the Wyatt greenhouse plant

A western concern asserts that tim-
othy ought to be half the price of
clover. Why? What is the relative
cost of production? To our mind
timothy has always been too low. It
is nearer its proper level now than at
any time we can remember in the last
thirty years. Why look aghast at
fifteen cent timothy? We ought to call
it reasonable at twenty — all other
things considered. If there ever was

CHICAGO NOTES.

Business Revival.

A decided change is springing up
in all lines of the florists' trade. Since
the opening of the schools, which has
brought back to the city many old
customers, the retailers have enjoyed
an increase in their sales. The flor-
ists' supply houses are daily receiv-
ing large orders from all over the
country and the general feeling pre-
vails that a good season is now open
ing up. The plant growers are com-
ing in for their share of the busi-
ness, for the retailers have overhauled
their stores and plants are now a
necessity in all first-class retail flower
stores. Some very beautiful effects
with artificial flowers and foliage are
seen in the fall decorations of the big
stores and Chicago is now quite a
center for the manufacturing of these
goods.

Coming Show.

The fall show at the Art Institute
given by the Horticultural Society of
Chicago, September 21-22, is expected
to be of a high order as asters and
dahlias are just in their prime and
all perennials have had a fairly good
season. There are many fine place ;
in this vicinity whose owners take
great pride in them and a first-class
exhibit is looked for.

Trade Notes.

The E. H. Hunt Co. is putting
on the market the Noxall Hose Coup-
ler. This is an improvement over the
well-known Acme Coupler and which
has long been recognized as the best
coupler ever on the market. The
Noxall is similar with changes enough
to bring it up-to-date. Their Noxall
Hose has met with great success dur-
ing the two years they have handled
it and the coupler will no doubt meet
the same hearty response.

Quite a number of florists will em-
bark in the retail business for them-
selves this fall. Duncan Robertson
and W. C. Adams, for several years
with the E. Wienhoeber Co.. have sent
out cards announcing their opening,
October 1st, at Bellevue place and
Rush street. This is in a fine resi-
dential district and the two will make

share of the North Side trade. — Chas.
Erne severs his connection with the

will then decide between the different
stores available and make ready for

open a store on the corner of Ran-
dolph and State streets.

Personal.

Miss Wolf, for many years book-
keeper for J. A. Budlong and who has
lately returned from the West, has
taken a position with Zeck & Mann.

Mrs. Harry Reeser of Springfield,
Ohio, has been visiting her sister, Mrs.
Youngstrand, of Glenview, 111., the past
two weeks. Mr. Reeser is a florist at
Spi ingfield and Mr. Youngstrand is a
landscape gardener and nurseryman at
Glenview.

William Allen, who has charge of
the conservatory at Schiller's on West
Madison street, has had something on
his mind lately and all his leisure
hours have been spent in preparing
a flat for a mysterious someone who
arrived from the East Monday, accom-
panied by relatives. Further details
will be revealed next week.

Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Fisk returned
on the 7th inst. from a six weeks'
tour of the West. Going by the south-
ern route and returning by the north-
ern one they visited Old Mexico and
all the principal cities on the Pacific
Coast and have some thrilling tales
to tell of their mountain ride in the
Canyon of the Colorado and other ex-
periences.

OUT OF THE GINGER JAR.

A certain supply house advertises
that their sales were 71 per cent ahead
of last August. That does not prove
anything of value. Buncombe don't
go with the florists. They are all from
Missouri! Your sales may have been
next to nothing the August before. A
cent's worth sold last year and two
cents' worth this year — 100 per cent
increase. Bum argument. Better
change your professor of publicity.
You are no doubt paying good money
for the space. We are sorry for you.
As a good model for an adv. on that
kind of goods, what's the matter with
the "Rice Standard."

Of all the little presents and me-
mentos of wooden, tin, silver and
golden weddings, of send offs, of trib-
utes of sympathy, of hurrahs — of all
the common things that make up our
common lives — not one has ever
brought the glisten to the eye, tli"
hand clasp, the lump in throat as does
a box of flowers — so far as my thirty
years' experience of these things goes.
Especially with the ladies. I really
believe they would rather have a
bunch of American Beauties at just
the right time than a six-cylinder auto-
mobile. So, you retailers, get your en-
thusiasm up a little when a lady comes
in! Put some life and heart into it.
It's wonderful how different you can
be if you really try.

GEORGE C. WATSON.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Willet M. Hayes, assistant secretary
of agriculture, has purchased the resi-
dence of the late E. F. Droop in Rock-
ville, Md.

F. H. Kramer has been offering a
handsomely engraved copy of the
Declaration of Independence, suitable
lor framing, with each purchase
amounting to a dollar or more.

The building and land located at
Thirteenth and F Streets, N. W.,
known as the Thompson property and
in which is located the store of the
Washington Florists Co., was last
week sold at a reported price of near-
ly half a million dollars.

I-'. H. Kramer, 916 F street, N. W., is
looking for the arrival of a shipment
.if bulbs from La Garde & Speelman
of Ollioules, France, consisting of 100,-
000 paperwhite grandiflora and 40,000
Grand Soleil d' Or. These will be
planted in the Anacostia houses.

The will of the late Joseph R. Free-
man has been entered for probate in
the local court. The estate is valued
at about $150,000. The store at
G12 13th street, N. W.. is valued
at $75,000; the business at $10,000, the
balance being in real and personal
property. Mrs. Freeman is appointed
administratrix and practically the sole
beneficiary.

One of the handsomest bouquets of
the season was that furnished by Gude
Bros, and presented last Saturday
night to the members of the troupe,
who for five months entertained the
public at the Columbia Theatre. This
\\ as no corsage bouquet but a bunch of
Ann rican Beauties nine feet in height
and five feet in diameter. Each actress
was also presented with bunches of
American Beauties and other roses.
This was the company's farewell ap-
pearance.

The Cosmos Theatre, a popular-
priced vaudeville house celebrated its
third anniversary by giving to its lady
patrons corsage bouquets consisting of
from four 10 six fresh cut roses. On
Labor Day about 2C00 bunches were
thus distributed and an average of
1200 per day during the remainder of
the week. This proved a business get-
ting souvenir and members of the lo-
cal trade benefited by the sale of the
goods. The theatre itself was decorat-
ed with palms, ferns and cut flowers.
CLARENCE L. LINZ.

Kennett Square, Pa. — Charles S.
Swayne, proprietor of the "Slope"
greenhouses, has disposed of his plant
to L. M. Parker, who will devote them
to sweet peas.

Business is in a waiting
BOSTON mood and the outlook
from day to day is as un-
certain as the "in agin, out agin" vote
of the state of Maine. Carnations are
getting better and as soon as the asters
get out of the way the carnation may
begin to look up. Small roses are too
plentiful still; it is next to impossible
to find a market for them. American
Beauty is notably deficient in finish,
not one-quarter of those sent in as spe-
cials being worthy of the classifica-
tion. A few chrysanthemums, Golden
Glow are in now. Among roses the va-
riety Radiance is making a grand rec-
ord as a long-distance shipper.

Very little doing, much
BUFFALO less than was expected

the past week especially
for a September week when weddings
are looked for. There was plenty of
material to fill all orders, and no line
was scarce of anything. Asters galore;
too many of the ordinary, which
blocked the sale of the good ones.
The cemetery florist is looked for by
the dealer, but he only replies that his
customers are supplied by their gar-
dens. There has been a slight de-
crease in the supply of gladiolus,
though they are still plentiful and
good. In the rose line Beauties a e
only fair in quality, other roses gO"d
and increasing in supply daily. Some
choice lilies and lily of the valley
are had, and have shared in the small
demand. Greens have shortened
somewhat, though not sci

this year to the over-production of as-
ters. Certain it is that they have
flooded the market for many weeks
and the end is not yet in sight. This
week, it is impossible to sell gocd as-
ters for more than two cents and al-
together too large a proportion of the
cut is still going into the barrel.
Where these flowers are so cheap it
cuts into the sales of other flowers
and especially is this true when tin
"improved back yard" idea has been
put into effect and a home-grown crop,
as of asters, produced. Between the
big crops of gladioli and asters the
demand for roses is bound to dimin-
ish. Beauties are selling fairly well
and stock is good. Carnations are
fine for the season. Some excellent

Killarneys and Brides are seen about
the market each day and an especial-
ly fine lot were noticed at Hoerber
Bros, this week. Green in general is
plentiful. Smilax is the only kind
that is scarce and this is easy to get
if the buyer pays the price. Tube
roses are among the flowers that arc
side-tracked this year; the demand for
them is apparently lacking. Autumn
leaves in profusion are now coming in
and the window decorations are beau-
tiful.

The first day of this
CINCINNATI week started with a

rush. The supply
was larger than the call, which was
not small by any means. The activity

or rather the lack of activity on the
part of the buyers on Tuesday, how-
ever, showed that this spurt was onlj
a replenishing, and that business was
not as bright as was anticipated.
Still during the past fortnight, though
the quantity of the offerings increased
daily, most that was worth while
sold, while the poorer stock was a
positive drug on the market At the
time of this writing asters and gladioli
are somewhat more than sufficient for
request. Rcses and carnations, too,
are coming in stronger. Lilies have
shaded slightly in price and are in
good supply. Cosmos is offered in
small quantities and is snapped up
quickly. As a whole where the offer-
ings and sales are considered the
prices brought are fair. The quality
of almost everything is all an exact-
ing buyer might desire at this time of
the year. The green goods market is
ample.

As to the present market
DETROIT situation the least said
the better. It is not dif-
ferent from any other year and to the
one who dislikes fakirs it is even bet-
ter because there are none at the
present. Trade is of a very unsteady
condition and the prevailing warm
spell will keep it so for a while to
come.

The tendency to
NEW YORK multiply the number
of varieties of roses
grown as standard stock for the cut
flower market is seen in the product
from young planted stock of this sea-
son on the benches of the wholesale
dealers. For many years the roses
that could be regarded as staples
never exceeded half a dozen but, if

signs count for anything there will be
no cause for complaint henceforth as
to the limited number of rose varie-
ties open to selection by the cut flow-
er buyer. And among the newcomers
no variety is so generally liked and
favorably commented on as the beau-
tiful yellow Lady Hillingdon. All
roses have greatly improved in qual-
ity during the past week, American
Beauty especially so, but there is no
prospect of any immediate advance in
price, and there is an enormous ava-
lanche of small short-stemmed stuff
of the Killarney sorts which, although
bright colored and clean, has to be
disposed of at a few cents a hundred.
Richmond is slowly improving, but
the weather is still too warm for this
popular variety. The markets are
still loaded clown with asters — most
of them of medium or mediocre quali-
ty. Gladioli are not yet lightened up
perceptibly and dahlias are beginning
to accumulate. Until this outdoor
material is cut off any general im-
provement in the underglass depart-
ment is not to be expected. Generally
speaking trade is irregular — some
days developing quite a hopeful ac-

tivity which, however, seldom lasts
over forty-eight hours. A few chrys-
anthemums are seen here and there.
We believe that
PHILADELPHIA on the whole
there was a
larger volume of business here last
week, but there was such an increase
in the quantity of stocks arriving
that prices broke considerably on
many items, and there was a good
deal of unsold surplus. So the feeling
in the wholesale market is rather
grumpy. If demand had only re-
ded to the increased supply every-
thing would have been lovely — but it
didn't. Asters and dahlias are
coming in in immense quantities. Both
are good but there is no chance of
absorbing half of them at any kind
aying price to the growers. As
wholesaler put it: "We can see
trouble ahead now for the next six
What he meant was that tne
chrysanthemums would be piling in
very soon on top of this already con-
gested condition and would be mak-
ing the situation still worse. An-
other heart breaker is the cosmos.

DETROIT NOTES.

The Flower Shop will soon move into
a new store at 37 Grand River East,
opposite the new Broadway Market
and this will prove an ideal location.

E. A. Fetters has got through with
his vacation having had a very pleas-
ant trip. While apparently in an out
of the way location Mr. Fetters has
built up a very good trade in a few
years.

Mrs. J. F. Sullivan surprised many
by coming to the store a few days ago
but she is still too weak to stay long
and it will be several weeks before
she can appear at her accustomed post
regularly.

With our city growing as fast as it
has the local retail section can be di-
vided in two parts. First, those who
for more or less years have main-
tained centrally located stores and
which are composed of the old estab-
lished firms with a very slight sprink-
ling of new ones. Second: A regular
"belt line" of stores about two miles
from the old centre composed mostly
of such florists as in years gone by
were growers only but becoming sur-
rounded by houses with the consequent
retail demand they have added this

Flower Market Reports

(Continued from pagt 411)

Wagon loads of it — and no chance of
a market for more than ten per
cent. American Beauty roses have
taken a big slump. The local growers
are now in with their ciops, and they
are good. They may not be so bright
in color yet as the eastern grown, but
otherwise quite equal, and a few cool
nights will bring them right up to
standard even as to color. So down
goes the price. All other roses are
vastly improved as to quality and
quantity. Carnations still rather
short in the stem but otherwise very
satisfactory. The orchid scarcity
seems to be over. Plenty for all de-
mands this week, labiata mostly.
Tritomas are selling well; lilies a lit-
tle scarcer. Items not on regular
price quotations are the following:
Roses — Prince de Bulgarie, $6.00 to
$8.00; Perle, $3.00 to $5.00; Mis.
Aaron Ward, $3.00 to $5.00; Melody,
$4.00 to $6.00; Tritomas, $3.00; Tube-
roses, $4.00; Cosmos, 60c. to $1.00;
Sweet Alyssum, 25c; Petunias, dbl.
white, $1.00; Candytuft and Feverfew,
bunch, 25c; Delphinium, 35c; Agera-
tum, 25c; Hydrangea, $5.00; Golden
Glow, dozen bunches, $2.00.

The market had plenty
ST. LOUIS of good stock during

the last week. White
flowers had the call. The warm weath-
er of late has put a stop to much
sale over the counter. Roses are in
abundance in all colors. Carnations
too are coming in better each day.
Asters are still quite a glut and only
the best are selling at all. Gladioli
are shortening up as are tuberose
spikes. Dahlias are now coming in
in large lots. There is still a lot of
outdoor truck coming in, with small
demands.

The market is the
WASHINGTON same as is usual at
this time of year
although there was a noticeable
change for the better during the past
week, a finer class of flowers being
called for. American Beauties found
an almost ready sale with some calls
for gardenias, orchids and lily of the
valley. However, the supply of the
cheaper stock such as asters, dahlias,
snapdragons and other out door flow-
ers as are retailed at five cents the
Tninch and up, were plentiful.

A. H. Langjahr has at last got set-
tled down into his new wholesale cut
flower store at 130 West 28th Street,
New York. This is located in the cen-
tre of the new wholesale section and is
new throughout, well equipped and
spacious, there being over 4000 sq. ft.
of floor space in main floor and base-
ment. Large flower storage boxes are
being erected and every facility for
handling flowers expeditiously will
be supplied.

LILIUM HARRISII

~TK»e Bermuda Eas-ter Lily

LET \JS supply your \wanls in l_ilies this season

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrlsii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisil In Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 Inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Mrs. Sargent's Lily (Lilium Sar-
gentiac)

This fine new lily w die id by in

Western China in 1903-04, rhen collecting for Messrs.
Veitch. Bulbs were sent i England and when the
plum lowered it was ed to be Lilium Browni

var. leucanthum. Cinder the abbreviated name of
Liliun r , 1 1 1 ii in ii received a First Class Certifi-

\ 1 . i- 1 1 from the Ro al Horticultural Society of
London on Aug. ~i'K 1905. md bearing this name was
subsequently distributed b\ Messrs. Veitch.

Under this name (I., leucanthum) this same lilj is
red to and figured, in Hortk i i m be, Vol. XI. page
105, and many times ently in the same paper up

i" as late as last week ( Vol. \l V, page 39).

When collecting in China for the Arnold Arboretum
I nred a large consignment of this lily (and several
others) expressly for Messi I!. & J. Farquhar & Co.,
Boston, Mass. This firm reci ived them from me as L.
leucanthum and, acting in perfect good faith, have ex-
hibited, (awarded silver medal Mass. Eort. Sue., Aug.
1911), advertised and catalogued the lily under this
of L. leucant emum I the latter spelling
being an obvious clerical error).

On m\ return to this country the other day. I had
occasion to look into the matter of Chinese lilies and
their names. To my great surprise I found th(
named above had ni liatever to do with true L.

Browni var. leucanthum, it being in truth, verv
much superior. The diffi muts are numerous and
of first importance. To mention one which all
cultivators will appreciate, the bulb of our new lily is
always 'lark-red purple and pointed at the summit: the
bulb of the true L. Browni var. leucanthum is always
white, flattened on top and usually with centre de-
ed. Again, the flowi rs of our new lily are always
tffused with r< or mauve-purple oul
Those of the true L. Browni var. leucanthum are <
ish-white outside, never colored red or purple.

One always has great .nice in' interfering with

an established name but there are times when tins is
impossible to avoid and this I i 1 \ is Buch a case.

\ tudy of all the des necies of lilies

from China proved conclusively that the lily under dis-
cussion is an entdrel} n and ondescribed species.

Summer Blooming Lilacs

In a large JJu "•-' and northwest the'
iris t'.-iin 1 1 . - be caught bj late frosts so they can-
not bloom. Here ivith us the old-fashii 1 kinds our

mothers ra II bloom once in about five years.

There are now ovi 100 ulgaris family, hut most

of them try to arlj and are caught Emile

Lei m . E u ;ene liarl and I Jolh are exi options

as they bloom later.

The tree lilacs are .1 bloomers. These are well

known in the east and nave latch been introduced m
the west where they are very popular. These are not
shrubs but trees We have them on our ground- 4
inches through and 15 feet tall and in spring covered
with a flood of bloom.

The Einodi is from the Himalayas, the homi of many
of our choice shrubs. I have received three kinds from
France under this name, one a slow growing variety,
rather tender: another lias a beautiful variegated foliage
but is altogether too tender for our climate. The other
is the kind so generally grown by our nurserymen
times labeled Emodj villosa and is often sent out by
our leading nurserymen as genuine villosa. This is
entirely wrong. I no resemblance to that won-
derful variety. I h ■ sort has immense leaves as large
as a lady's hand ami you would not think it could be a
lilac until yon n bloom. Though the foliage is
dissimilar, yet the flowers in color and form much re-
semble those of the Bretschneideri, often known
as Emodi rosea. The latter is a marvelous
bloomer. They flower about the lirst of June.
This year we had one bush 2 feet high which had fifty
fine floweiv. A .lump or mass is a wonderful
show. The] arc packed and crowded with masses of
blooms. They are usually on hand for Decora-
tion Day, Which gives them additional value. The
villosa is much like the Bretschneideri. It has nar-
rower leaves and the blooms are much like the old vul-
garis in color. As a bloomer it is equal to the Bretsch-
neideri. Taken all around I think it is rated as the
finest in the world I have seen bushes 1 feet tall sim-
ply overwhelmed b} Buch n il i I tej -eemed

like single bouquets on Though they

are from Japan, they seem very hardy. I saw them
growing in Manit y are rare and come high —

sellai" according to size. The trouble

is to secure the genuine. These, like the snowball, can
be propagated by layering. Dig a trench, pull down
a branch and covi it about 4 inches deep, leaving the
top out and you are sure of a good plant.

Josiksea or Hungarian lilac also bi i the

large-'- .nicer blooming family. It does not

v. or bloom so freely as the other
sorts. I have been thus careful in describing
varieties becau; i then Buch an addition to our

ornaments - illy in the west.

Liliu ; mtiae is the name now given

A new lily to one of the new lilies introduced from

Western China by Mr. E. H. Wilson.

lily, the subject of our covei illu-tration, as set

forth in Mr. Wilson's statement appearing mi tlie oppo-
site page, has been known hitherto as L. leucanthum or
leueanthemum. Under this name it has been exhibited.
has received meritorious awards, and has been sold both
in England and this country. Only recently it has
been found to be a new species quite distinct from and
much superior to L. leucanthum. We heartily com-
mend Mr. Wilson in his choice of a name in honor of
Mrs. C. S. Sargent, for this superb lily.

Much interest is manifested in the

A New England second Bi-Annual New England

fruit show Fruit Show which is to be held in

Horticultural Hall, October 23-28,
as an annex to the Industrial and Educational Exposi-
tion of the Boston Chamber of Commerce at Mechanics
Building. Symptoms of a general awakening of com-
mercial vitality throughout the New England section
are unmistakable. The people are apparently in the
right frame of mind to take up and enthusiastically
support any movement which appears to promise a
substantial advance in product and trade and in no
respect more so than in the development of New Eng-
land as a fruit growing country. The superior quality
of New England-grown fruit is universally acknowl-
edged, but better methods of production and market-
ing are indispensable and brains and capital are just
as essential as in manufacturing development. The
schedule of rules, premiums, etc., which has now been
issued gives evidence that the plans for the big show
have been laid with a due sense of the magnitude of its
possibilities and an intelligent purpose to utilize and
develop them in the most practical direction and to the
fullest extent. As being interested in the advancement
of each and every branch of horticultural industry we
are pleased with the outlook and take opportunity here
to extend most cordial good wishes for the success of
this laudable enterprise. That it is under the direction
of Chester I. Campbell whose efficient management
helped so materially towards the success of the National
Flower Show last spring is not the least among the
good omens for this undertaking.

The florist will soon have one more hard-
A dilemma ship added to his load if recent doings

in Chicago count for anything. It ap-
pears that they have a Gardeners' and Florists' organiza-
tion in the Federation of Labor in that city, and the
president of the flower unionists made a protest recently
against the admission of flower pieces lacking the union
label to funerals of union men in that jurisdiction. The
result was the adoption of a motion to the effect that
funerals of deceased union men must be conducted on a
strictly union basis or no death benefits will be paid and
the eight "unionized" flower shops in Chicago are duly
elated. It is evident that for the union man "a rose
by any other name" does not "smell as sweet" and ac-
cording to the views of a young lady of the Bindery
Girls' Union, the discrimination against non-union
flowers should not be confined to the pillow and the
gates-ajar, but to the posies for the wedding as well,
which, she added was "a much more important affair
than the funeral. " We can see lots of trouble ahead
if the fuss thus started is carried to its logical conclu-
sion. If "it's enough to make a union man turn over
in his coffin to have non-union flowers laid on it" as the
spokesman for the measure asserted, the sensations of
a live union young lady going to her wedding holding a
non-union bouquet would be perhaps better imagined
than described. "Ain't it awful, Mabel."

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists' Stock

CARE OF ROSES

The days are now becoming shorter and from now on
the temperature is liable to frequent and quite low
drops, so see that there is always a little heat in the
pipes to keep the air of the house circulating, and thus
prevent condensation. Give plenty of air on all clear
days, for this is especially necessary to keep the growth
from becoming soft, but guard against any strong or
cold draughts striking the plants. Keep the tempera-
ture anywhere from 73 to 75 degrees during sunshine,
and during cloudy weather 65 degrees will do, with
from 55 to 58 degrees at night. Examine the beds very
carefully from now on for when more heat is used the
benches will dry out on the bottom first, while the sur-
face will seem to be wet enough. Syringing should be
done only on bright days and in the morning only, but
should be done thoroughly on the under side of the
leaves so as to keep red spider in check. When exam-
ining the benches if you find the feeding roots near the
surface give them a light mulch of well-rotted cow ma-
nure two parts, loam one part, and a six-inch pot of
bone meal to every barrow load as a mulch; use it about
half an inch deep. Keep the benches clean and the
plants disbudded regularly. Fumigate for the aphis
weekly.

GROWING T CLIPS

The forcing of tulips does not differ much from that
of other bulbs. The principal point is to treat them
so that they will make plenty of active roots in their
flats, pans, or pots before they are brought into heat.
To excite top growth without this is to spoil all chance
of success. Those that are intended for inside should
go into flats as soon as received. Use any good loam
with one-third of well rotted manure. When the flats
are filled they can go outside and receive a thorough
watering. Place them where they can remain until
wanted for forcing and cover with at least six inches
of soil. Add a covering of some coarse manure deep
enough to prevent the surface from freezing up hard.
In conclusion, there are three things to be considered in
having good tulips. First, secure bulbs of the best
quality; second, flat them up early, and third, leave
them outside until the bulbs are well rooted, otherwise
they will be a failure.

HARDY I'HLOX

One of the most useful of all flowering perennials.
In planting phlox some consideration should be given
in the preparation of the soil. They like a good strong
loam above a clay subsoil which always keeps their
roots rather moist. It pays to trench your ground well
for this perennial, and have plenty of wi nosed

manure thoroughly incoi I with the soil. P

drainage is essential to the welfare of nearly all plants.
and phloxes are no exception to the rule. Phlox can be
planted anytime from now until the middle of October,
which will leave it time to become well rooted before

cold weather. Plant the clumps 18 to 20 inches apart,
and before the hard weather sets in throw around the
roots a mulch of old manure. Every three years after
they are in full flower they should be lifted and sep-
arated into clumps of three or four stalks each and re-
planted. By making a judicious selection of varieties
a continuity of bloom can be had from June until late
fall.

MIGNONETTE

From now on mignonette should be encouraged in
every way to make a rapid growth. Give beds that
were planted in .luly a light mulch of rotted cow ma-
nure and loam using two of manure to one of soil, but
before the manun is pui on a dusting of some fine bone
should be applied to the beds. This mulch helps to
keep the beds from drying out so rapidly and at the
same time furnishes food, which is gradually washed
down into the soil. Disbudding is very necessary work.
See that plants are gone over at leas! once a week. The
matter of supports is of the greatest importance and
should not be left till they begin to fall over. A great
many devices are used, but it all tends to the same pur-
pose in keeping each plant confined in an upright po-
sition. To keep the green worm in check dust the
plants with Slug Shot or spray with a teaspoonful of
paris green in a common pail of water. Keep the at-
mosphere as cool as possible and give a free circulation
of fresh air.

ORCHIDS

Now that we are coming into the short days watering
should be very carefully regulated. Where the plants are
not in immediate need of water, it is well to let them
remain until the next day. As a guide, as to when to give
water, it is well to wait for a sign of slight dryness be-
fore watering so as to wet the whole mass. This even
applies to such plants as cypripediums, aerides, phalae-
nopsis, odontoglossums, miltonias, masdevallias, van-
das, etc. It is advisable now to modify the tempera-
ture in the various divisions, so as to meet the conditions
which tend to make root action less, thereby produc-
ing a more restful stage. The warm house should be
kept during the day with sun 72 to 78 degrees, without
sun 62 to 68 degrees, and night about 65 degrees. For
the intermediate house with sun 60 to 65 degrees, night
55 to 60 degrees. The cool house 55 to 60 degrees with
sun, without sun 58 degrees, night 50 to 55 degrees.

S MILAN

Be always very particular when watering smilax.
It is better to look over the benches before you begin
and locate the dr and wel -pots which will enable you
to keep the bench at an even moisture and thus ensure
a more even growth through the beds. When the
strings are cut don't allow the young growth to ramble
and become tangled before giving them a string to run
on. Give them a mulch of pulverized cow or sheep ma-
nure mixed with an equal quantity of loam about half
an inch deep. S ringe once or twice a day, as the
weather will allow. A night temperature of about 60
degrees suits and should always be maintained.

Attend well to vi itilating so as to admit air without
cold dram

"This body of gardeners," he said,
"represents the backbone of vegetable
growers of America on whom 9,000,000
American people depend for their
fresh vegetables, and we should feel
keenly our responsibility in growing
and supplying only the best that we
can.

"The past season has been, on the
whole, very unfavorable to market
gardeners, and gardeners, like the rest
of mankind, have their ups and downs
in full-season or partial crops even
here in Masachusetts. In the long run,
however, we should consider this for-
tunate, for everyone who goes through
such a season of depression and dis-
appointment learns to maintain a
stonter heart and will emerge from
the condition with a firmer grip, a
clearer vision and a stouter courage to
meet all future contingencies which
we may be called upon to face in our
business."

On Wednesday forenoon the session
was devoted to the following pro-

greenhouses in the suburbs, by auto
and trolley under the guidance of the

filled when President R. L. Watts of
State College, Pa., called the meeting
to order and after a few preliminary
remarks introduced Acting Mayor
Walter Collins.

Mr. Collins in extending the wel-
come of the city said that though it.
was the fourth convention and the
first time that the members had met
here, he hoped that it would not be
long before they returned for another
convention. For New England, at
least. Boston is a city around which
cluster many large tracts devoted to
market gardening, and he mentioned
especially such places as Arlington,
Belmont and Lexington. He referred
to the value of co-operation, through
which the interests of communities
can best be conserved. Conventions
such as these, he said, serve a useful
purpose in disseminating knowledge
of the business, the advantage of
which many persons receive.

President H. F. Hall, of the Boston
Market Gardeners' Association, wel-
comed the visitors in the name of the
local gardeners. He said that the
Boston organization felt honored in
having the members of the national
body with them.

Horticultural Hall

The response to Mr. Hall's address
was made by E. A. Dunbar of Ash-
tabula. O., and then President Watts
of the national organization read his
annual address. He dwelt upon some
of the achievements of the past year,
referring, as did Mr. Hall, to the un-
favorable conditions of the summer.

Sec. S. W. Severance of Louisville,
Ky., reported 24 states and provinces
represented in the association, the
membership being 214. He urged
that more members be secured, es-
pecially in New England.

The report of the state vice-presi-
dents was given by President Hall of
the local body. Reports were also
submitted by several standing com-
mittees; transportation rates by
J. H. Rice of Ashtabula, O.; member-
ship by H. F. Tompson of Attleboro,
and legislation by T. C. Johnson of
Norfolk, Va.

During the forenoon the executive
committee held a session at the Copley
Square Hotel, which is the convention
headquarters. »

In the evening another session was
held at which many members of the
Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos-
ton were present. There were ad-

Association appropriated the sum of
$500 towards the prize schedule.

PENNSYLVANIA HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY DAHLIA AND PEREN-
NIAL SHOW.
The principal features of this exhi-
bition were the displays of W. Atlee
Burpee & Co., in dahlias and Joseph
Hurley in perennials. The Peacock
Dahlia Farms came in at the eleventh
hour, and put up a good collection of
their best dahlias.

In the Hurley collection we noted
Begonia gracilis. Besides being a good
bedding plant this is excel'ent as a
cut flower for table decoration. St.

Bridgid anemone was also wrell shown
in its various colors. Amaranthus tri-
color was another good thing — good
for decorative effects* when cut. The
balance of this good collection was
made up of fall asters, gladioli, zin-
nias, sage, helianthus, marigolds and
roses.

Burpee put up probably the most
artistic dahlia exhibit that has ever
been seen here. It was not only artis-
tically arranged in flat and pyramidal
masses — with a background of Eulalia
Japonica zebrina and fall foliage, but
it contained quite a number of new
and unique varieties of dahlias that
have never before been seen in this
country. George W. Kerr, who is an
old experienced hand in exhibition
work in the great shows of the old
world, as well as the new, is Mr. Bur-
pee's expert in the growing and stag-
ing of these (as he has also been in
sweet peas and other things in the
past few years), and he points out
some wonderful new varieties which
we have not before seen exhibited.
One of the most conspicuous is Golden
West, a cactus, and one of the best
we have seen; Mrs. Reginald Bailey,
rich claret, cactus, rounded petals,
free, open and graceful — a lovely
flower which will yet be heard from ;
David Burpee, a magnificent decora-
tive, yellow flushed with rose. Other
good ones in this collection were Flag
of Truce and Snowden — both of the
cactus type. One of the loveliest
pinks was Mrs. McMillan and for an
old-rose shade Daisy Staples shone
out conspicuously. Of the fine old
English show varieties that have sel-
dom if ever been displayed here be-
fore we may mention David Saunders,
Mrs. John Downie and Daniel Cornish.
These were centers of attraction to
many of the old-time gardeners. While
tin "Golden West" variety was per-
haps the star attraction of this fine
exhibit the two varieties' at each side
of the center — Ethel Maule, white, and
Jack Rose, crimson, stood out very
conspicuously. The Peacock Century
novelties and their Dorothy Peacock
and others were staged in fine condi-
tion and received much favorable com-
ment.

R. & G. Rosbach of Pemberton, N.
J., staged a nice little collection of
some fifty varieties, these being under
the personal supervision of Mrs. Ros-
bach. W. F. Bassett of Hammonton,
N. J., sent in eight of his new seed-
lings. These were mostly single. Tho
best one was a crimson edged with
gold, medium size, magnificent texture
and substance, fine form and charm-
ing color; ought to make a good ship-
ping variety — therefore, valuable com-
mercially, and that after all is the
final test. Some of the loveliest pro-
ductions of flower breeders have gone
by the board for lack of this great
essential.

In the aster exhfbit, Semple, Peer-
less, and Electric were the principal
varieties. They call for no special
comment as none of them were De-
yond the average in any way. Messrs.
Morrow, Little and Aiken were the
chief prize winners.

Roberts took first for zinnias of the
new Haageana type. This was a Dreer
premium. Can't see much in this
Haageana thing, but have great re-
spect for Dreer's and Roberts' judg-
ment. If we can enthuse later if we

see it better — nobody will be more
enthusiastic than yours truly. John
McCleary sent a collection of vege-
tables. They won a prize.

There was very little competition
in this show. Many of the classes were
not entered for at all. Maybe it was
the season. Maybe anything. Any-
way, we have told the story and leave
comments to those better informed
than your correspondent. If it hadn't
been for Burpee and Peacock and
Hurley it would have been no show
at all. What's the matter with Phila-
delphia, horticulturally? We leave the
answer to Robert Craig and J. D.
Eisele.

NEW ENGLAND DAHLIA SOCIETY.

The interior of Horticultural Hall,
Boston, presented a scene of remark-
able beauty to the crowds who vis-
ited the fourth annua! exhibition of
the New England Dahlia Society,
which was opened on the afternoon of
Friday, September 15. and closed
on Sunday night. There were many
fine displays not in competition which
do not appear in the list of awards.
Altogether the show was a very credit-
able one considering the very unfav-
orable weather this season.

J. K. Alexander of East Bridge-
water showed nearly 1400 blooms.

pany had a fine showing of seed-
lings, and other exhibitors were

NEWPORT HORTICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.

This Society held its autumn exhi-
bition Sept. 16, 17 and 18, and in
spite of adverse conditions of the sea-
son many excellent exhibits were
staged. The main exhibitors were
James Boyd, gardener for J. J. Astor;
C. M. Bugholt for Miss Fanny Foster,
Wm. Grey for Mrs. Wm. B. Leeds,
John A. Forbes for August Belmont,
John Mahan for H. D. Auchincloss,
John Fletcher for Captain P. W.
Hourigan, S. Speers for W. B. Green,
Wm. Barclay for H. A. C. Taylor and
J. Robertson for Mrs. T. O. Richard-
son.

James Boyd was the most extensive
«xhibitor, especially in the classes for
plants, and had to his credit the first
prize in the classes for specimen
palm, collection of table plants, six
dracaenas, twenty-five gardenias, six
nectarines and six peaches. C. M.
Bugholt was the main exhibitor in the
dahlia classes and was awarded the
blue card in almost every exhibit, his
collection of twelve cactus varieties
being noteworthy. They were as fol-
lows: Glory of Wilts, Snowdrift, Aus-
tralian, Joliannesberg, Marathon, C.
H. Curtis, H. H. Thomas, Mrs. T. W.
Willis, Snowstorm, Rev. T. W. Jamie-
son, Lady Fox and Gwendolin Tucker.
Sisson & Thurston, representing the
•commercial growers, had also an ex-
cellent collection of fifty varieties for
•which they were awarded the R. & J.
Farquhar prize. Single dahlias were
also well represented by J. Robertson.
A new white variety named "The
Bride" was said to be the best seen
here. John A. Forbes was the winner
of the Mrs. Goelet prize for a table of
outdoor flowers tastefully arranged,
and was also first in other important
classes. The silver cup offered by
Henry A. Dreer for collection of
hardy perennial flowers was awarded
for the second year to John Mahan,
■who also won the Joseph Breck &
Sons' silver cup for best collection of
annuals. The silver cup donated by
•Stumpp & Walter Co. for collection of
twelve species of vegetables was
awarded to Wm. Grey, John Fletcher
being a close second in the class. Mr.
'Grey was also the winner of the E. J.
Berwind prize of $25 for a table dec-
oration showing originality. His flor-
al arrangement was a representation
•of a May pole with the base and top
widened out and decorated with as-
paragus Sprengeri, Clematis panicu-
lata, stemmed flowers of the Mrs.
Francis King gladiolus and streamers
of narrow pink and white ribbon, all
bringing out an effect that caused
much favorable comment. The table

prizes proved to be the hardest task
the judges had to decide on, they tak-
ing over an hour to select a first out
of four that all seemed nearly perfect
in every detail, one being equipped
with a gold service valued at several
thousand dollars with a centre piece
of cactus dahlias nearly matching in
color; . but another with a brighter
setting of silver and china and a cen-
tre piece of the pink single dahlia
Imperialino was finally awarded the
blue card, the first described taking
second place. Mrs. Herbert Coles is
the winner of the first prize and her
husband the second: the third was
-won by Hugh Meikle. assistant gar-
dener at the H. M. Brooks estate.
Other first awards are as follows:

For table decorations by commercial

florists, Mrs. B. Hammond Tracy.
Dish of Adiantum Farleyense, John
A. Forbes. Dish of foliage plants, J.
A. Forbes. Kemtia in twelve-inch pot,
J. Robertson. Centre piece of dahlias,
Jas. Sharkey, gardener for Mrs. E. H.
G. Slater. Fancy basket of dahlias,

and fine weather favored all.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF
NEW YORK.

The Horticultural Society of New
York held a small but most interest-
ing exhibition of autumn flowers in
the Museum building of the Botanical
Gardens, on Sept. 16 and 17. Stormy
weather for several days previous and
on the morning of the opening day
was responsible for many absentees,
both as regards exhibits and atten-
dance, nevertheless, 'twas well worth
seeing from many points. James
Stuart of Mamaroneck, N. Y., won five
first prizes in the classes for asters.
They formed a pretty table of well-
grown blooms. P. W. Popp, also of
Mamaroneck, won eight first prizes in
dahlias. They were a remarkably
fine lot of flowers considering the sea-
son we have had, and Mr. Popp de-
serves much credit for the quality,
variety and extent of his exhibit. Mr.
Stuart won a first for his vase of
single dahlias. John Lewis Childs put
up a good exhibit of dahlias, tritomas
and montbretias, not for competition,
and there was a very interesting ex-
hibit of berried shrubs and hardy
flowers from the grounds of the
Botanical Gardens. Richard Richter
was manager of the show. A meeting
of the society was held in the after-
noon and plans perfected for the
chrysanthemum Show to be given in
1'iber.

George Y. Nash delivered a splendid
illustrated lecture on the fruit or-
chards of the northwest. Mr. Xash
lias recently returned from an exten-
tour of the orchards of the state
of Washington, and is well ah I
describe them from every point of
view. There was a large attendance.

ROCHESTER (N. Y.) FLOWER
SHOW.

The attitude of the Rochester pub-
lic toward the flower shows that have
been given by the Rochester Florists'
Association has caused some doubts
to arise in the minds of some of the
members as to the advisability of
holding a show this year. The matter
is left in the hands of the Exhibit
Committee.

Should this committee, which is
made up of C. H. Vick, F. J. Keller, A.
H. Salter, E. P. Wilson, E. R. Frey,
F. R. Schlegel, J. M. Keller, R. Ballan-
tyne. C. B. Ogston and Charles Suhr,
decide that the association will again
undertake a show, then it will be held
in November. The committee will
meet this week and will report to the
association at a special meeting to be
called within two weeks.

Last year 28,000 people attended the
show during the five days it lasted;
the year before 22,000 attended during
three days. The first figure should
read 40,000, if the Rochester people
were doing what they should. If the
committee could be convinced that the
40,000 mark could be reached this year,
it would probably have no hesitancy
in declaring itself in favor of a 1911

show.

THE VINCENT FLOWER SHOW.

The Maryland State Horticultural
Society on September 26 will hold a
meeting at the Vincent Farm, Cowen-
ton, Md., in connection with the Fifth
Annual Dahlia and Flower Show given
by Mr. Vincent.

The whole of the property will be
thrown open to the inspection of the
guests. They will be able to see forty
acres of dahlias in full bloom, ten
acres of cannas and five acres of per-
ennial phlox. In addition an inside
exhibition of dahlias will be given,
showing effects in arrangement, ana
there will be displays of farm and
household produce. The show will
continue to September 29. The follow-
ing schedule of trains are given for the
information of those desiring to at-
tend: Special trains will leave Cam-
den Station at 12.40 p. m., stopping at
Mount Royal and Gay Street stations.
Returning, leave Cowenton 6 p. m.
Regular trains will leave Camden
Station 8.15 a. m., 2.10 and 5.00 p. m.
Last train will leave Cowenton for
Baltimore at 7.17 p. m. Train No. 517
leaving Philadelphia S.15, Wilmington
8.50, Newark, Del., 9.09, will stop at
Cowenton at 10.27 each day of the
show. Cowenton is located on the
Baltimore & Ohio R. R. line. The
show will be open daily until 8.00 p. m.
with the exception of September 29,
when the closing time has been set
for 10.00 p. m.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' CLUB
OF BOSTON.

The first meeting of the season of
this club was held Tuesday evening.
September 19, in Horticultural build-
ing. The little hall where the meet-
ing was held scats 17."> people, and
practically every seat was occupied — a
pretty good showing for a starter.

Not much business was done it
being the desire of many members to
attend the session of the Vegetable
Growers' Association in the lecture
hall. Resolutions on the recent deaths
of F. R. Mathison and John Flood
were presented and adopted. Three of
the members, Thomas J. Grey. Thomas
Pegler and Yv'm. Collins, who have
been abroad this summer, were sever-
ally called upon and related their
experiences and their views on the
various countries they visited. Mr.
Grey was particularly eloquent in his
praise of England and Scotland, and
did not overlook Ireland, in all of
which places he visited the botanic
gardens and other horticultural places.
France he found terribly dried up.
Mr. Pegler said that at Belfast he saw
the finest sweet peas he had ever
seen, and the tuberous begonias im-
pressed him greatly. He predicted
some surprises in the near future in
the way of Dickson roses. Kew
showed the effect of the dry season.

A vote of sincere thanks was ex-
tended to the Gardeners' and Florists'
Club of Baltimore for courtesies ex-
tended to Boston visitors at the re-
cent S. A. F. Convention in that city

Prof. White of Amherst addressed
the meeting, urging that the club get
into closer touch with the Agricultural
College and endeavor to secure the
services and co-operation of this state
institution on behalf of floriculture
in equal measure with the fruit and
market garden and other interests.
Agreeably to Prof. White's suggestion,
Piesident Miller appointed Messrs.
John K. M. L. Farquhar, Robert
Cameron, Wm. Sim, Eber Holmes,
Peter Fisher, J. A. Pettigrew and
Thomas Roland a committee to act on
the lines proposed.

The exhibition table was nicely
filled. From W. W. Edgar Co. there
was a nice show of seasonable plants
— Lorraine, Turnford Hall, and Glory
of Cincinnati begonias, cyclamens
from Grey's seed, etc. R. & J. Far-
quhar & Co. showed Viola cornuta
purpurea, a splendid dark flower, per-
fectly hardy; also some herbaceous
flowers.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.
At the convention of the S. A. F.,
held in Baltimore, a joint conference
meeting of the American Rose Society,
the Carnation Society and the Sweet
Pea Society was held. The subject
under discussion was an early spring
show of all these societies. It was de-
termined to try to unite the carnations
and the roses in one exhibition, to be
held January 10, 1912. At its regular
meeting the American Rose Society
ratified this action. The Carnation
Society having made a date later in
the month, awaited final action by its
board of directors, which is given. So

that the dates of January 10, II. 12,
1912, are fixed for the annual es
tion of the two societies, to be held In
the city of Detroit. Hon. Philip B
meyer has given assurance that >
thing possible will be done locally to
make the exhibition successful.

Detroit is a city of homes and door-
yards, and is sure to give a large at-
tendance. The Prize Schedule of the
Rose Society will be prepared and
published without delay. The two
medals of the American Rose Society
awarded to the Minneapolis Rose So-
ciety and at the Annandale Rose Show-
have been properly inscribed, cased
and delivered.

The gold medal voted to Mr. M. H.
Walsh of Woods Hole, Mass., in rec-
ognition of work done by him in the
development of the climbing rose, is
under way. This is the second gold
medal awarded in the history of the
American Rose Society.

BENJAMIN HAMMOND,

ST. LOUIS FLORIST CLUB.

The September meeting of the Flor-
ist Club was fairly well attended.
President Connon, who had presided
over the meetings for the past year,
opened the meeting. The auditing
committee reported that the books of
the secretary and treasurer were in
first class shape. Letters were read
from the Chicago Florists' Club ln-
vi ing the members to attend the next
meeting, October 5th, and help them
celebrate their 25th anniversary, which
was accepted and the chair appointed
as a committee W. C. Smith, J. J.
Beneke. D. Geddes and A. S. Halsted
to make arrangements for the trip.
The appointment of a committee to
assist the Retail Florists' Association
to further their bill to prohibit crepe
pulling, which is now before the
House of Delegates, was laid over for
the next meeting.

Messrs. Guy, Ammann and Fillmore
acted as installation officers. Presi-
dent-elect Windier had not yet re-
turned from his wedding trip, so they
proceeded to install Vice-President-
elect F. Vennemann, who at once took
the chair and was followed into office
by Secretary Beneke, Treasurer Smith
and Trustee Frank A. Weber.

The opening of the question box
found a number of questions on which
lively discussions followed.

MORRIS COUNTY GARDENERS'
AND FLORISTS' SOCIETY.
The Morris County Gardeners' and
Florists' Society held its monthly
mepting Sept. 13. About 40 members
were present to discuss the schedule
and make final arrangements for the
show. The schedule will have over SO
classes in it when the new special
prizes are put on. The National Gar-
deners' Association are to hold their
convention in Madison this year and
at the time of the Flower Show.
Many of them are to exhibit here as
well — to make their expenses you
know. The prizes will be here and
we want to give all an equal chance.

NASSAU COUNTY HORTICUL-
TURAL SOCIETY.

The regular monthly meeting of this
Society was held in Glen Cove, Wed-

judges for the exhibits were Messrs.
Cliffe, Johnson and Marshall, and their
decisions were as follows: Society's
prizes — Corn, F. Petroccia; potatoes,
H. Boetther; melon, S. J. Trepess;
honorable mention to E. Brown for
peaches; thanks to F. Petroccia for
Brussels sprouts.

Henry Gaut on behalf of Mrs. H. L.
Pratt, offered a silver cup as a special
prize for the coming fall show. A.
Walker on behalf of Mr. R. C. Smith,
offered $15 as a special prize for a
vase of chrysanthemums, 8 blooms,
one variety, for the fall show. These
donors were Doth accorded a unani-
mous vote of thanks.

J. N. Hoff of the Alphano Humus
Co.. gave a very interesting talk on
"Humus, and the Benefits to Be De-
rived from Its Use on All Soils," and
was given a very hearty vote of
thanks.

The competition in October will be
for three heads of celery, vase of pink
cosmos and three heads of cabbage.

disastrous effect of drought
in europe:

Later detailed advices more than
confirm the discouraging reports we
have previously published regarding
the disastrous effect of the hot summer
weather and long continued drought
in Europe upon growing crops. In
England, and many parts of France
and Germany there have been no ef-
fective rains for over three months,
and in places where stock could not
be artificially watered the growing
crops are shrivelling up.

Of Manetti roses, which come
principally from England and France,
in both countries there will be less
than half a crop. The grade of those
shipped will necessarily be inferior.
Practically all of the available crop
was bought up before June. It is
doubtful if American buyers will get
more than 60 per cent, of their re-
quirements; then only where they or-
dered before June.

In Germany the season was the hot-
test and driest they have had for 73
years. The effect upon the crop of
lily of the valley pips is problem-
atical, though it is almost sure that
the product will be inferior to former
seasons. As a precaution most firms
are refusing to book further orders
except at a considerable increase in
price.

France is particularly unfortunate.
They grow for export millions of
young fruit and ornamental stocks.
Even artificial watering is ineffective,
as the wells are dry. Prices rule
much higher than usual and there will
be many shortages on orders.

Belgium has not suffered so much,
as their export stock is all artificially
watered, but the exceptionally hot
summer weather shows its effects in
the azaleas there. They will be
smaller and more stunted in growth
than usual. Crop is up to normal,
though the varieties Mad. Van der
Cruyssen, Mad. Petrick, Simon Mard-
ner and Vervaeneana remain scarce,
and most growers are limiting orders
to percentages of these varieties.

the large department stores this week.
The slipper was made entirely of lilies
of the valley and orchids.

Albert Holscher of Hartford avenue,
is contemplating a trip to Argentine
Republic for the purpose of securing a
stock of orchids with which to stock
a new house built for that purpose in
addition to his present range.

Walter S. Nichol of Hamden Mead-
ows, Barrington, met with a consider-
able loss last week when a tornado
swept over that place lifting the roofs

of several of his houses. Between
500 and 600 panes of glass were
broken.

While at work trimming trees in
Swan Point cemetery, Otto Carlson,
an employe of the Everett Foresty
Company, fell from a big elm dislo-
cating both wrists. He was rushed
to the Memorial Hospital, Pawtucket,
for treatment and later conveyed to
his home. Some of the cords were
torn, and a small bone was fractured
in the right wrist.

Patrick J. Henry, Jr., of this city,
has brought suit against George John-
son & Son in the Superior Court,
seeking damages to the amount of
$1,500 as a result of injuries received
while in the employ of the defendant.
The plaintiff was at work trimming
trees, when it is alleged that the lad-
der on which he was standing gave
way precipitating him to the ground
several feet below. The suit is based
on defective apparatus.

Work on the new flower market or-
ganized two weeks ago, is being
pushed rapidly at the new quarters
on Washington street, opposite the
City Hall, an ideal location for a mar-
ket place. It is the intention of the
directors to have the store completed
and ready for business, October 1.
The directors of the new organization
are: John A. Macrea, 1255 Smith
street, Alexander Macrea, 1138 Smith
street, both of Providence; J. H. Cush-
ing, Quidnick, R. I.; Walter S. Nich-
ols, Hamden Meadows, R. I.: and
Fred Hoffman, of Pawtucket, R. I.
The following persons were elected
officers of the association: President,
John A. Macrea; vice-president, Wal-
ter Macrea; secretary, E. E. King;
treasurer, Olney H. Williams.

GREENHOUSE CONSTRUCTION AND HEATING

An Illustrated Address before the Vegetable Growers' Association of America at Boston, Mass., by W. R. Cobb of the

The subject which I have been as-
signed to speak on this evening, is a
most interesting and extensive one.
It is so extensive that it is impossible
in one evening to touch other than
briefly on the various parts and the
part each of the various details plays
in the finished structure of an up-to-
date greenhouse. Each of these parts,
such as the superstructure, ventila-
tion, plant benches and heating, are
capable and worthy of considering
separately.

But as it is not possible for us to
have more than one session, I shall
try to cover the subject in a general
way and trust that our time together
may be profitable. I shall not try to
go into mathematics and other of the
various sciences which are called into
requisition in designing an up-to-date
greenhouse, but simply present In a
pictorial way, the results that have
been obtained and progress made.

The Old Type of Greenhouse.

It is a long step from the cumber-
some greenhouse of 50 years ago, to
the modern cobwebby structure of to-
day. The illustration which we have
before us on the screen, is typical of
the early greenhouse. They were gen-
erally built against a high wall, the
wall being on the north side. This
wall was quite a factor in supplying
heat during the night. You know how
a piece of masonry will absorb heat
with the sun shining on same, and
how it feels warm for a long time
after the sun has ceased to shine
upon it. So these high walls absorbed
the heat and gave it up to the green-
house during the night. In those days,
the only method of heating was to
have a stove or a long flue either of
pipe or masonry running the length of
the greenhouse, through which heated
air generated by a furnace was at-
tempted to be carried.

Now as the construction of the
superstructure, a heavy wooden sill
was placed on top of the front wall.
Heavy wooden rafters were placed
about 3 feet apart and sash glazed
with glass only 6 inches wide, were
placed in the roof. The top sash was
arranged to slide down for ventilation
and was operated with a system of
ropes and pulleys.

The crops raised in houses of this
type were far from satisfactory as
you can readily realize, as with the
amount of wood used in their con-
struction and the narrow glass the
percentage of light admitted was very
small, to say nothing of the cold air
admitted through imperfect construc-
tion.

Later, full span houses were built
of similar construction.

Mr. Lord, who was the founder of
the L. & B. Co., was a great lover of
flowers and also a thorough mechanic.
He had a small greenhouse in his yard
built similar to the last one I have
shown you. Mr. Lord became dissat-
isfied with the results obtained and
made up his mind that if horticulture

Lord & Burnham Company.

was to make any progress it would be
necessary to greatly improve the con-
struction of the greenhouses, so he
built himself a house which proved to
be so far ahead of anything yet built,
that his services were soon in demand
among the local community. It was
not long before the success attained in
these new houses spread beyond these
narrow limits and the greenhouse
business, as a business by itself, was
launched. It has continued from that
time to grow until it has reached its
present proportions. The outlook for
its continued expansion, improvement
and stability is bright.

Construction and Principle.

The house adopted and built by Mr.
Lord was the same as is universally
used today, namely building the roof
as a permanent sash, with separate
small ventilating sash at the ridge.
This method increased the amount of
light in the greenhouse as well as
furnishing a weather proof construc-
tion. Methods of supporting the roof
members are today numerous, but
they all are simply a means of mak-
ing the principle stated above, stable
and lasting. In the early days there
was no glass on the sides. Walls of
brick or stone were built and the roof
sprang directly from the top of these
walls. The inside level of the green-
house was generally on a lower level
than the outside grade. This was done
so as to "reduce the surfaces exposed
to the outside air as much as possible.
Most of the houses were narrow and
the plant benches were so close to the
glass that it was impossible to grow
plants of any size except on the outer
edge of the benches.

The next step forward was to make
the roof curved instead of straight.

The roof was constructed with two
radii, the lower one being about 8
feet radius, the upper 45 feet. This
gave more room for the plants on the
outside of the plant beds. The glass
was not bent, but short lights were
used and as the radius was large com-
pared to the length of each light, the
difficulty was solved the same as in
building a curved part to a brick
house with ordinary straight bricks.

With the introduction of hot water
and steam as a heating medium, it
became possible to increase the width
of greenhouses, and houses of 20 to 25
feet in width became common. This
gave room for a centre plant bench.

Then came the introduction of
glass on the sides increasing the
height from the walk level to the gut-
ter line. By doing this it was possible
to build the roofs without the curves
and still have room on the side
benches for medium sized plants. The
masonry wall was cut down to almost
grade and wooden vent panels about
two feet high placed on the sides be-
low the top of the plant bench. This
in a measure is an ideal way of ven-
tilating a house where side ventilation
is required, as the cool air from out-
side has to first pass over and around
the heating pipes, which takes the
sting from the air.

Iron Construction Introduced.
At this time commercial houses
were built with locust posts set about

three feet in the ground and four feet
above, and boarded up to the eaves.
As the tendency towards wider houses
increased and wood decreased in qual-
ity it became necessary to find some
construction that would take the place
of that then in use. The use of iron
as a building medium was at this time
attracting attention, and to this metal
attention in the construction of green-
houses was turned. Cast iron sills
were substituted for the three-piece
wooden sill and iron rafters and pur-
lin.

The first iron frame greenhouses to
be built were those for Mr. Jay Gould,
at Irvington, N. Y. Here a cast iron
sill capped the masonry walls and iron
rafters and purlins capped with wood
were used to support the superstruc-
ture. The principle of this construc-
tion todav is still used in all iron or
steel greenhouses. The details may
be changed but the principle of hav-
ing the iron or steel framework on
the inside of the greenhouses, while
all members which receive the glass
are of wood. This construction after
repeated experiments has proved the
most suitable to our variable climate
and has stood the test well.

The next important step in the
construction of commercial houses
was the introduction of what is known
as the Cast Iron Foot Piece Con-
struction. A post or foot piece made
of cast iron was placed in the ground
about 30 inches, and to these the steel
rafters were bolted. The sides up to
within two feet of the eaves, were
built of two thicknesses of boards
with paper between. This made a
cheap and substantial construction.

Next wooden gutters and eave plates
were dropped out and angle iron used
in their place. The bars and rafter
caps were fastened to this angle iron
with a small cast iron fitting. The
eave nlate having part of its surface
exposed to the inside temperature of
the greenhouse conveys the heat to
the outside surfaces and to a certain
extent prevents the formation of
icicles on the outside. Certainly it
was and is a great improvement over
the wood plate and gutter, which
were the first members in a green-
house to decay.

Use of Concrete and Hollow Tile.

Concrete and hollow tile are now
being used for the sides instead of
double boarding. Where hollow tile
is used, it is necessary to plaster the
outside and inside surfaces of same
with Portland cement mortar. Then,
too, the tile have to be cut, and it re-
quires more or less time and ingenuity
to use the tile to the best advantage
without waste. From observation
and tests it seems as if concrete made
with clean cinders was the cheapest
,-ind best to use. The cinders being
more or less porous, makes a concrete
full of air cells which accomplishes
the same results as the hollow spaces
in the tile. The walls need only to be
four inches thick, and when a light
cast iron sill is placed on top of same
you have a construction which is
practically indestructible, and as the
upkeep is small, this form of con-
struction is the cheapest in the end.

During all this time, the distance
between the rafters has steadily in-
creased, the wood members made
smaller and the width of the glass in-
creased. From glass six inches wide
to 24 inches is the history, although
for many reasons of economy, glass 16
inches wide has been and is generally
used.

Ventilating sash are now made con-
tinuous instead of a number of sep-
arated sash.

As the glass has increased in width,
so has the width of the houses, so
that now houses 30, 40, 55, 60 and 75
feet are common. Some have been built
over 100 feet, but it is doubtful if
houses as wide as this are a success
unless built on a slope so that the
roof can have sufficient slope to prop-
erly shed the water and not have a
shower on the inside as well as the
outside. A pitch of 32 degrees in
houses up to 30 feet in width is
preferable, and from 30 to 50 feet 2S
degrees have been found a good angle
for roofs, but 26 degrees is all right
for houses 50 feet and over.
Now as to Supports.
• :<_> foot houses require no columns.
35 ' " two columns.

;j'J [ two columns,

four columns.
!}° I four columns.

"0 ' " six columns.

There are several firms building
greenhouses in which the principle of
construction is to truss the roofs,
thus eliminating columns to a great
extent. This would be all right il
the trusses were constructed on a com-
pression basis, but they are con-
structed to a large extent on a ten-
sion basis and depend upon all mem-
bers being constantly in tune, as it
were. Now there is considerable
vibration in a greenhouse roof and
the constant movement is bound to
stretch the light rods, etc., which are
used in the construction. As soon as
one member loses its tune it puts all
the others out also, and I believe that a
greenhouse constructed on this prin-
ciple will deteriorate more rapidly
than one supported by columns or
with columns and compression trusses.
Time will tell, but if you compare two
houses of the same age I know that
the house constructed on the compres-
sion principle will be in better shape
than the one constructed on the ten-
sion principle.

Semi-Iron Frame Construction.

We have been considering what is
known as the iron frame greenhouse
construction. There is another type
known as pipe frame or semi-iron
construction. The difference between
the two is not very great, the differ-
ence being that the steel rafters are
omitted, the roof bars, etc., are sup-
ported by longitudinal purlins made
of pipe. These purlins are in turn
supported by pipe columns. The
painting, glazing and heating in this
construction are the same as in the
houses where rafters are used. There
is a slight saving in the cost of this
house as the steel used is less and the
parts require less mill work. All
parts both iron and wood are given
three coats of paint, one before ship-
ment, one after the framework is
erected and before the glass is set and
a finishing coat after the glass is set
and the other parts finished.

The majority of houses are glazed
with double thick quality "A" glass in

16 inch widths and 24 inch lengths.
The joints are lapped about % inch'
and the glass bedded in putty. The
use of glass 24 inches wide has been
quite extensive and, inquiring among
the florists and gardeners, the addi-
tional light and results obtained by
using glass 24 inches wide instead of
16 inches wide are not appreciable. It
seems on first thought, that there
must be considerable advantage and
lightness obtained by using the wider
glass, but the bars and other members
are so small in an up-to-date house,
that eliminating every other bar does
not appreciably increase the growing
qualities of a house. There are some
structural drawbacks to wide glass,
and the consensus of opinion is that
16 x 24 inch glass is commercially the
best.

As to the Width of Houses.
The width and lengths of houses
have steadily increased until now they
are only governed by the length and
width of a man's pocketbook. Por-
merely, 18 and 20 feet were the most
popular widths, but today few growers
consider anything under 30 feet; 40, 50,
55, 60, 70 feet and so on are common.
Several vegetable growers have built
houses between 40 feet and 45 feet
wide and have figured out this width
as the most practical and economical
width, but others build wider ana al-
most each one has ideas of his own,
which it is the greenhouse builder's
pleasure to design and construct.

Houses of the % span shape are
built, but not as extensively as in
former years. The long slope faced
south and consequently they were sup-
posed to receive a greater amount of
sunlight. I have seen full span and
% span houses built beside one an-
other with the same plants growing
in both. No difference could be ob-
served in the plauts and there was no
appreciable difference in the financial
returns.

With the light construction now
used, I do not believe it makes any
difference whether a house is built
facing south, east or west, providing
there are no trees, hills or other ob-
jects to shade same. The topographi-
cal conditions of the site play an im-
portant part in the location, as these
vary in each case, and each case re-
quires individual consideration.
Ventilation.
Houses intended for the growing of
vegetables should have four lines of
ventilation. This is accomplished by
placing a line of continuous sash on
each side of the ridge and one line on
each of the vertical sides. The sash
are from 30 inches to 36 inches wide
and up. These sash are opened and
closed with machinery specially de-
signed for this purpose. There are
numerous types of machines on the
market but they all are constructed
on about the same principle, namely
a continuous shaft of pipe or steel
rod to which are attached arms and
rods which in turn are fastened to
the sash. A gear of the self-locking
design and operated by hand power is
arranged to turn the shaft which com-
municates its power to the rods and
arms causing the sash to open and
close.

The use of solid plant beds in com-
mercial greenhouses is rapidly taking
the place of raised plant benches.
Many vegetable growers plant direct-
ly in the ground, plowing the ground

and working the crop the same as
out of doors. Where beds are used
they are not built over 12 inches
above the grade and the soil confined
with planks or light concrete walls.
Heating.
The heating for greenhouses is cer-
tainly one of the most important feat-
ures of same. It is here that one
shovels his dollars into a furnace.
Too much attention cannot be given
to the installation and management
of the heating system. At the present
time there are two mediums em-
ployed, steam and hot water. Both
have advantages, but it is pretty well
established that heating by hot water
produced the best results. Hot water
produces a condition more like the
heat generated by the sun. Steam
gives a more intense heat. While it
has proved satisfactory, it is a fact
that the large florists are more and
more reverting to hot water as a heat-
ing medium. Whether hot water or
steam is used, the method of piping
the house is the same. If steam is
used, the pipes are IVi-inch, and if
hot water, either 2-inch or 1%-inch.
The pipes are placed along the sides
of the house hung to the side walls.
There should also be some pipe laid
through the centre of the house. Just
how and where to place these pipes
varies with the conditions to be met.
The number of pipes depends on
what temperature is required, the
amount of glass surface, the extreme
average temperature of the locality in
winter, the exposed or protected situ-
ations of the greenhouse, the good or
bad construction of the greenhouse it-
self, and many other small details
which are used in designing a suc-
cessful and economical heating sys-
tem.

If steam is used, it should be a low-
pressure system as the wear and tear
on the pipes should high pressure be
used, would be great, to say nothing
of the too intense heat generated. The
boilers may be set in a cellar the level
of which is considerably below the
level of the greenhouse. In such a
case, the condensed water is returned
to the boilers by gravity. If the boilers
are on the same level as the green-
house a pump of some kind must be
used to return the condensation.

It is the same with hot water. In a
hot water system, there are two ways
employed in generating the heat. The
first and one most used, is to heat the
water directly in a boiler and circulate
same through the pipes in the green-
house; the other, is to heat the water
in tanks using exhaust or live steam
to heat the water. In the latter case,
the steam passes through a coil in en-
closed tank, the water surrounding the
coil. The steam in the coil imparts
its heat to the water, which in turn
leaves the tanks, circulates through the
pipe returning to the tank to be again
heated.

Forced Circulation.
There are two other methods used
to circulate the water, other than by
the gravity method. One is to have an
accelerator connected to the mains.
This devise is simply a propeller
turned by an engine of some kind.
The propeller hastens the speed at
which the water circulates, helps it
over many declivities and returns it
at a higher temperature to the boiler.
The other method is what is known as

September 23. 1911

HORTICULTURE.

4.11

Forced Circulation. This method re-
quires the service of a pump of some
kind. The water is heated and then
forced by the pump through the, pipes
in the greenhouse and back to the
boiler. The pump may be operated by
steam, electricity or gasoline. The old
lashioned plunge steam pump is, I be-
lieve, the most reliable, but pumps
driven by the other methods that I
have mentioned have proved satisfac-
tory. There are several advantages of
heating by forced circulation and I be-
lieve it is the method which will be
used in all large plants in the future.
In the first place, the size of the pipe
used for the mains and heating coils,
can be smaller than in a gravity sys-
tem. The water returns to the boiler
at a higher temperature and it is pos-
sible to heat a house more evenly. I
am sorry that I have not more time at
my disposal to go into the subject of
heating more fully. It is one that is
full of pitfalls, even to the initiated.
What I have said, outlines the general
principle. The ratio of determining
the number of pipes to the glass sur-
face, the size boiler required, the dis-
tribution and grading of pipes, size of
mains, etc.. are really up to the heat-
ing engineer, but if growers knew
more about these, they would not be
apt to have a heating apparatus de-
signed and installed which will prove
far from satisfactory and not what was
desired.

The more one knows about every-
thing that is used or in use in one's
business, and that knowledge used
wisely, just so much more successful
will the business become.

A few years ago, growing vegetables
under glass was almost unknown.
Now the cultivation of vegetables in
greenhouses is increasing rapidly and
as time goes on, I expect and predict
that the industry of growing vegeta-
bles in greenhouses would have
reached such proportions that we shall
be supplied with vegetables in winter,
as in summer, and the cost not much
greater than growing vegetables out
of doors.

Vegetables and fruit grown under
glass have a finer flavor than those
grown out in the open.

There is no country in the world
that offers the opportunities that ours
does, and it behooves us all to make
the best of these opportunities in what
ever line we may be engaged.

UNIQUE WHITEWASH USED IN
URUGUAY.

i From Report of Consul Frederic W.
Goding, Montevideo. j

When traveling through the rural
districts of Uruguay, one's attention is
attracted to the fine white color of the
farm buildings, even during the wet
season. To obtain this neat effect a
whitewash is used which is made with
the sliced leaves of the common cac-
tus, macerated in water for 21 hours,
producing a solution of creamy con-
sistence; to this lime is added and
well mixed. When applied to any sur-
face, be it of wood, brick, iron, or
other material, a beautiful pearly
white appearance is produced which
will endure through storms and frosts
for many years. In sections of the
United States where the cactus is a
nuisance, the plant might be utilized
in the manner suggested.

DETROIT SCHOOL FLOWER FES-
TIVALS.
A very interesting event was the
annual Flower Festival brought into
being by the Twentieth Century Club.
School children who got seeds from
this club last spring bring their prod-
uct to their respective schools, and
keen indeed was the competition for
the many prizes. Ladies of the club
and the following florists acted as
judges: M. Bloy, F. Danzer, F. Holz-
nagle, M. Sullivan. Twenty-five schools
participated.

The most interesting display and
the one receiving first prize was ar-
tanged in the kindergarten room of
the Wingert school. The whole room
represented a back yard with a sum-
mer house in the far off corner in
which a tea party was in progress. A
serpentine walk bordered with red and
white asters led up to this, while beds
of other flowers in artistic color com-
binations were distributed over the
lawn. On the other side of the hall
boys busied themselves hilling corn
and girls took care of beds of zinnias'
and marigolds.

Many of these exhibits showed very
practical lessons and some of the
flowers and their style of arrange-
ments, as also some vegetables, would
have been a credit to a professional
FRANK DANZER.

Reports have come that Salzer Bros.'
greenhouses at La Crosse, Wis.,
totally wrecked by a recent storm
which was so severe that north win-
dows were broken all over the city.

A FARMER'S DINNER.

To enter, for one thing, emphatic
St against the proposition that
the farmer lias no compensating ad-
vantages for all his troubles as com-
pared with the city dweller, and for
another, to show that those high-
toned places like the Union League,
Dooner's, The Bellevue-Stratford, et al,
with their million-dollar buildings and
regal salaried chefs, can never reach
the highest pinnacle of viandic fresh-
ness, fragrance and perfection, two
Bucks County farmers, Dr. John H.
Washburn of the agricultural college
known officially as the National Farm
School, and Howard M. Earl of Ford-
hook Farms, invited a select party of
city men — scoffers, bon vivants, Phil-
istines, poets, philosophers and unbe-
lievers—for the purpose of giving them
an object lesson, Sept. 14, 1911, to a
farmers' dinner at Farm School, Bucks
County, Pa. (Whew! That's a long
sentence. We shall be aspiring to the
Gladstone and Cleveland hilltop if we
can sustain a gait like that and still
be understood without putting in a
full stop.)

They made a day of it — and what a
day! Brilliant sunshine, a crisp, clear
September day, their hosts to meet
them at the station, a drive through
the college grounds, then over to the
Fordhook Farms adjoining, a drive
through these and inspection of the
brilliant fields of scarlet sage, zinnia,
marigold, phlox, and scores of others,
some for testing, some for seed sav-
ing, then down to the farm buildings
and a look through the model arrange-
ments for the care and increase of the
W'Orld-famous Burpee pedigree stocks
of thickens, collies, and other pet and
useful "horned cattle." In passing the
Burpee residence, who should appear
smiling on the porch but "the big
chief" himself, and nothing would do
but that the party must disembark
and come inside for a brief rest. Those
who know Burpee know what a prince
he is at doing the honors. Of course
there was the usual chat and rest,
then the jest and repartee and general
wakening up, after which Everett, the
English butler and body squire of the
chief, with all his h's and courtly
ways still hanging to him, appeared
noiselessly from some mysterious
source, bearing cheer and comfort and
leaving in his wake golden smiles.

Mr. Burpee joined the party for
their further adventures, which in-
cluded the inspection of a peach or-
chard adjoining Farm School and
Fordhook, and where young trees
(seven thousand of them), planted
about two years ago and now from
five to eight feet high, show up in
fine shape and are expected year after
next to give their first crop, estimated
at seven baskets per tree. That ought
to bring fifty thousand dollars, which
is going some for a fifty-acre farm in
four years. The cost of cultivating,
spraying, etc., is largely covered by
the corn and turnip crops grown in
between. After the first of July all
the surplus moisture and fertility pos-
sible is taken up by these side crops
so as to make the peach trees stop
growing and ripen up good and hard
to stand the winter. Even the weeds
are allowed to riot after the first of
July with the same object in view.

Returning, more of the Farm School
stock and operations are seen, ex-
plained and discussed. Every phase

of agriculture and horticulture is car-
ried on, the work being all done by
the students as part of their studies
in their four-year course, and the vis-
itors were greatly impressed with the
fine appearance of everything. Dr.
Washburn and his able staff of pro-
fessors in all departments certainly
deserve great credit for the excellent
showing.

By this time it was one thirty and
a bell rang at the doctor's residence
intimating that dinner was ready.
Tom Daly called that bell "the Jewish
Angelus." It certainly did not sound
like the usual merry jingle of a dinner
bell. Very discouraging for men with
appetites whetted by five or six hours
of country air! But the clouds were
soon dispelled. What a dinner!
Words fail us. Here is the menu:

After about two hours of most
scandalous demolition from beginning
to end, those who were still able to
talk voted unanimously "A farmer's
life for me," and those who were too
full for utterance went out and
stretched themselves under the pear
trees.

Then came more sight seeing. Bye
and bye came another impromptu
meeting at the Burpee residence,
which had some speech-making and
almost developed into a little home
concert. Conspicuous features of the
day's speeches, megaphone and other-
wise, were Attorney Louis Boss's ap-
preciation of the merits of Wolff's
sweet cider, and Editor George Don-
nelley's dissertation on the virtues of
"Swiss chard" as compared with spin-
ach. The latter was most sincerely
convinced that his mission in life had
at last been struck. That Mr. Earl
and others might hint that they had
been telling the American people that
very thing for thirty years and more,
made no impression on George Don-
nelley. He was in the full gallop of
the new discoverer. A secret came
out about the ladies of the Washburn
and Earl families. They had dis-
guised themselves in neat waitress
uniforms and most of the guests being

strangers they had great fun at get-
ting in touch with a lot of men folks
in the abandon of a stag dinner. For-
tunately everybody behaved well.
There was no flirting and the only
cuss word we remember came from
the only clergyman in the party.

In his own inimitable way Mr. Bur-
pee made the speech of thanks to the
ladies. Dr. Daly gave some of his
wonderful stories and recitations.
These have made him famous on al-
most every stage all over the United
States and Canada. Two of the Em-
peror William prize tenors. C. Howard
Reed and T. Frank Dooner, gave a
sample of their quality to please Mrs.
Burpee and the other ladies present.
When train time came it was the most
chastened, subdued and admiring lot
of city men that bade adieu to their
hospitable, able and wonderful hosts.
Happy to meet — sorry to part — happy
to meet again.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

C. H. Grakelow is running for coun-
cilman in his ward on the republican
ticket.

S. B. Dicks was the guest of W.
Atlee Burpee at the Union League on
the 13th inst

Harry Berger. of Berger Bros., re-
ports a very enjoyable ten weeks up
the Penobscot beyond Bangor, and re-
turns to business with his health en-
tirely restored.

Samuel S. Pennock and family
reached Lansdowne last Monday and
S. S. P. got back to the store on
Wednesday. Now things will begin
to happen — the boss is on his job
again.

The builders fell down on their ex-
pectations for the new Niessen build-
ing— and the Leo Niessen Co. were
unable to move in on the 18th inst.
as expected. The event is now sched-
uled for September 25th.

Mrs. John H. Dodds has returned
from a visit to the seashore, feeling
greatly improved in health. Some se-
rious surgical operations of the past
few years on a wrong diagnosis seri-
ously impaired the patient's health —
and it is gratifying to learn that at
last there is good news.

Good packing is a feature of the
dahlia shipments coming from the
Peacock Farms to Niessen's this year.
Single layer boxes containing 100. 150
or 200 blooms are sold unbroken as
they stand — thus saving much labor
and insuring more presentable flowers.
Dorothy Peacock is one of the most
charming of the new ones and finds
ready sale at good figures. Jack Rose
is another in the same category.

Michell's will hold a Dahlia Show,
September 26, 27, 28 and 29. There
are ten classes and first and second
prizes (cash) are offered in each. Pri-
vate gardeners only allowed to com-
pete. All flowers to be delivered not
later than 5 p. m. of the 25th. The
arrangements of the flowers and the
general management of the exhibits
are under the direction of Philip
Freud. As an adjunct a fine showing
of perennials, gladioli, bay trees,
palms, etc., will be staged. The judges
of the dahlias are W. C. Herbert, A.
L. Turnley. L. K. Peacock and Maur-
ice Fuld.

CINCINNATI NOTES.

Frank Fatney, representing M. Rice
& Co.. Philadelphia, called on his
trade last week.

The Hyde Park Rose Company at
their recent annual meeting re-elected
Gus Meier president and elected Ben
Sonnenberg secretary and treasurer to
succeed Al. Sunderbruch, who resigned
as such.

Max Rudolph and Henry Schwarz
have returned from Europe. Max Bays
the only thing he missed was the
pleasure of seeing his fellow-traveler
seasick while Henry states that they
overlooked nothing.

C. E. Critchell a day before he was
to depart from the Snows for home
had the misfortune to fall and cut a
gash in his leg, from below the knee
to the ankle. Other voyagers who
have returned are: B. P. Critchell,
from Benton Harbor; Gus Adrian,

PRIMULA MALACOIDES

"The Glorified Baby Primrose"

Offered for the first time in America. This variety will continue
sending up a succession of blooming spikes (color, beautiful lilac),
giving the appearance of a shower of blooms.

The individual flowers are much larger than P. Forbes! and infinitely
more freely branched. It is highly recommended either for cut flowers
or for plants, which sell readily on sight. Per trade pkt., $1.00; %
pkt, 60c.

NEWS NOTES.

Winchendon, Mass. — W. W. Rhu-
land is about to give up his River
street greenhouses.

Chicago, III. — Chappel, the florist,
on 53rd street, who started in busi-
ness last fall has closed his store.

Great Neck, N. Y. — Robert Thomas,
gardener to Mrs. Eldridge, has ob-
tained a pure white seedling Amaryl-
lis. The seedling is very strong and
handsome, quite an acquisition.

Bowling Green, O. — Hiram Waifel,
of the Waifel Floral Co., Muncie, Ind.,
has leased the florist business of .Mrs.
George Mercer. He intends to do a
wholesale as well as retail business.

Barrington, R. I. — A small tornado
visited this town Monday, wrecking
greenhouses, uprooting trees, blowing
down signs and breaking hundreds of
windows. The storm lasted for ten
minutes only and cut a swath 50 feet
wide and about a mile and a quarter
long.

Baltimore, Md. W. E. McKissick,
of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co.. vis-
ited a number of the Maryland grow-
ers last week. He reports stock to be
in excellent shape and making a good
appearance. The rains of the past
few weeks have aided the dahlia
and other outdoor flowers wonderfully.

A FRIEND'S TRIBUTE.
Editor HORTICULTURE:

On my return from a short vaca-
tion, I was very sorry to learn through
a note in HORTICULTURE, of the
death of Mr. Archibald Smith, Ox-
ford, England.

Those of the older generation in
Boston will remember Mr. Smith as
a kindly generous-hearted man, but
with a faculty for direct, unequivocal,
and exact statement, which, in these
days of popularity seeking, is rare.

Mr. Smith's training as a seedsman
was of the most practical kind; liter-
ally he knew the business from the
ground up. While he was in Boston,
it was my pleasure to listen to a talk
he gave to a number of gardeners and
others, on "Seeds," in which it was
agreed he displayed a knowledge of
both the practical and technical sides
of the business, so intimate that it is
attained by few.

The qualities of his heart and head
endeared him to many of us, and the
world can ill afford to lose such men.
J. C. SCORGIE.

Mass.

HOW MANY BULBS TO THE ACRE?
Editor of HORTICULTURE:

In Mr. Newell's article in HORTI-
CULTURE of Sept. 9, he seems to re-
gard the account of a gladiolus grower
planting 200,000 bulbs to the acre as a
"lot of rot." Now if he will take a trip
to Orange, I will show him how first
size bulbs are planted in my field at
the rate of 110,000 to the acre, and the
smaller blooming sizes can be planted
so that 200,000 can easily be planted
on an acre. It is not necessary to
plant gladioli six inches apart in single
rows, nor is it practical, or economy
for the commercial grower to waste
valuable land in this way.

Regarding what he says about
mulching his gladioli to protect them
against the cold ground and weather,
this was altogether unnecessary, for
I have had my plantings covered with
snow and a frozen crust on the surface
of the ground after my gladioli were
four inches high, with absolutely no
harmful results.

Pea Estimates and Deliveries.
Two weeks ago we Btated that one
or two of the pea growers had been
induced to submit estimates of their
expected deliveries on conn acts, but
their example does not seem to have
been followed up to this time by the
majority of the growers. At least we
have not learned of any Beyond
doubt, however, estimates from prac-
tically all may be expected about the
first of October, if not before. It
seems to be exceedingly difficult for
the growers to size up conditions this
year and naturally they are reluctant
to over-estimate, while at the same
time conditions are so bad thai they
do not want to represent them as
worse than they are. Many seedsmen
and canners will have beart failure
when the estimates are received by
them even when the best possible
showing is made; but, as stated pre-
viously in these columns, we believe
that the general average of deliveries
on peas will be better than a year ago,
and particularly on such varieties as
Gradus, Thomas Laxton, Sutton's Ex-
celsior, Nod's Excelsior, Gems, Tele-
phones, and in fact nearly all of the
large-podded varieties. It may he well
to remark here, however, that read-
ers should not have their expectations
raised too high, as the del veries
might be disappointingly low and still
be better than last year's.

The Sweet Corn Outlook.

We have stated on Information here-
tofore received that there was likeli-
hood of a considerable shortage in
the crop of early sweet emu. but that
the later varieties would make a bet-
ter showing. Prom the latesl advices
received we find that it is necessary
to reverse this order, as we are now
informed that the early varieties will
do considerably better than was ex-
pected a month or two months ago,

^T You are mostly interested in business proposi-
^1 tions that you can make money by. Occasion
-U ally there is a rare bargain in bulbs of quality, but
not often. This week we have one for you and one that is
worth while. The reason is owing to unusual crop con-
ditions in France, compelling Mr. Martial Bremond to
receive late deliveries unexpectedly. Last week we
did not dream that it would be possible, but here goes.
We offer you the true Paper White Grandiflora Bulbs
13 cm upward at $6 per 1,000; $55 per 10,000; or
$500 per 100,000. Roman Hyacinths 12 to 15
cm at $18 per 1,000; $170 per 10,000 and $800
per 50,000. Paper Whites are packed 1250 and
1 350 per case and Romans 2000 per case. Less than
case quantities at 10 per cent advance prices. The
prices are duty paid, f.o.b. cars New York City too
and delivery immediately ; or later upon payment of
25 cents per month per case storage and 25 cents per
case cartage. Terms are three months net to those
in good credit standing or cash with order from un-
known parties. No counter offers will be answered
and nothing less than quantities mentioned will be

September 23, 1911

while the condition of the late vane-
has deteriorated considerably.
Recent severe frosts throughout Con-
necticut and New England have cou-
siderably damaged corn, but the ex-
tenl pf the damage has not as yet
fully materialized. We shall probably
know more about this in another
week. Up to the present time the
western crop has escaped any serious
age by frost, which has been a
very material help to the late varie-
ties, and will greatly increase the
yield. It is, of course, appreciated by
all that the corn crop has reached
the stage where there is no possible
chance for further improvement, but
unlimited opportunity for damage. It
is hoped, however, the damage ac-
count may be a very small one.

Beans.

By the way, a few of the pea and
bean growers have thought it advis-
able to send out their estimated de-
liveries on beans of the 1911 crop.
In view of the fact that bean harvest-
ing has barely commenced, this seems
a little previous, and especially in
view of the fact that the same grow-
ers have not given any estimates on
peas, although the latter have been
practically all harvested for a month
past. Speaking of beans, we learn
that there has been considerable in-
quiry from Germany, particularly for
the wax pod variety, and that sales
of considerable quantities have been
consummated at strong prices. This
would seem to indicate that our Teu-
tonic friends are very much on the
short side of the bean question. It
may be added .that inquiries for peas
are even more numerous, but very
few have been in the position to quote
anything in garden peas.

Potato Prices.

The situation affecting seed pota-
toes and the potato crop in general
has been rather fluctuating. Last
week there was a decided slump in
prices, but this week they have firmed
up again, and we are believers in ulti-
mately higher prices for this year's
crop than have yet been realized.

Quotations.

W. A. B.— "We have at last got a
cabbage that fills all requirements and
in honor of that wonderful achieve-
ment we propose to name it after one
of the greatest of restaurateurs, Frank
Dooner. We call to our assistance, in
this deserved compliment, apt allitera-
tion's artful aid, and we propose to
call this great cabbage— "Dooner's
Dreadnought."

G. C. W. — "Very good! What a sav-
ing this will be in writing labels, re-
ports and things, when it becomes so
familiar as to reach the abbreviation
stage! Just say D. D. cabbage."

T. Frank Dooner.— "Doesn't that
D. D. sound like a cuss word? Be-
sides, couldn't Mr. Burpee find some-
thing else rather than a cabbage to
put my name on?"

Tom Daly.— "Sit down, you foolish
person! D. D. means Doctor of Divin-
ity, and has nothing to do with cuss
words."

Final Outcome of Natural Grass Seed

New Seed Houses.

Some months ago we announced
that Mr. F. A. Sherman, formerly of
Sherman & Eberle, Auburn, N. Y.,
who sold out two years ago this fall
to his partner, had decided to again
engage in the seed business, and had
organized a new company under the
name of Houghton & Sherman Com-
pany. Mr. Sherman has advised us
that all preparations have been made
to carry on an aggressive campaign
in the seed line during the fall and
winter, and he hopes that many of
his old acquaintances will remember
him with at least a portion of their
business.

The Wiseman & Downs Company,
of Baltimore, has been launched and
fully incorporated. We extend them
congratulations and best wishes, but

A USEFUL DECORATIVE PLANT.

In the course of a conversation on
the subject of decorative foliaged
plants for florists' use, P. M. Koster
on his recent visit to this country
mentioned as a subject especially de-
serving of attention the beautiful va-
riegated maple, Acer Negundo foliis
alba variegata. It is used with lovely
effect abroad, he said, for June wed-
dings and such affairs in conjunction
with palms, in dark surroundings, be-
ing grown in pyramid form, about
five feet high. They are cheap, strong
plants costing about $30 per 100.

CHICAGO NOTES.
Severe Storm.

A very severe rain storin, accom-
panied by a wind that was little short
of a cyclone, passed through Chicago
early Monday morning, Sept. IS, and
did considerable damage. The only
wonder is that more florists were not
heavy losers, but the path of the
storm was from the northwest to the
southeast and fortunately the losers
were few in number. Peter Reinberg
lost heavily and at this writing no ac-
curate estimate can be given, but it is
safe to say that several houses will
have to be rebuilt and that glass is
broken over the entire plant. At
George Reinberg's one section of
houses was torn down by the wind
and the stock destroyed by the falling
glass, while every house will need to
have more or less repair. The Schaef-
fer place, six large houses just north
of the Reinbergs, which is rented by
Charles Handel, is a complete loss.
All the houses are down and the stock
ruined. This place was directly in the
line of the storm and received its full
force. The trees all over the city
were damaged, many broken down or
torn up by the roots. In places hail
fell, and outdoor stock is now consid-
ered out of the question for this sea-
son. Prank Beu's place was close to
the path of the storm but fortunately
escaped. A barn came sailing by but
considerately alighted on some vacant
ground instead of on the glass. The
Chicago Carnation Co.'s plant at Jo-
liet was uninjured by the severe
storm of Monday morning. The gov-
ernment recorded six inches of rain-
fall. The aster plants were all down
and Mr. Pyfer is rejoicing that his
carnation plants are far ahead of the
season.

to his home town, Newport, R. I.

Mrs. McCabe, wife of Mr. M. J. Mc-
Cabe of the Centre Market, is spend-
ing some time in New York and other
cities adjacent thereto.

Mrs. Schattmier, wife of Mr. J. G.
Schattmier, with Z. D. Blackistone, has
left for an extended visit to her old
home in Newark, N. J.

Miss Louise Daugherty, bookkeeper
at the store of George C. Shaffer, has
returned from her vacation which she
spent in New York state.

J. M. Hammer & Son are refitting
their houses at Second and Florida
avenue, N. E. They are placing new
roofs on three of their seven houses.

J. C. Powell is spending a two
weeks' vacation at Atlantic City, while
Miss Grace Powers is whiling away a
little time at Richmond, Va. Both are
employed at the F Street store of F.
H. Kramer.

Fred Gust, well known to the trade,
is about to sever his connection with
the Washington Florists' Co. to ac-
cept a position with the Fernery at
Seattle, Wash. The best wishes of the
trade accompany Mr. Gust.

W. E. McKissick, of the S. S. Pen-
nock-Meehan Co., made one of his
regular trips among the Maryland
growers. He reports that Maryland
stock is coming along in fine shape,
roses and carnations being very good.

F. H. Kramer has some very fine
long-stem Richmonds from three-
year-old bushes. They are really re-
markable and when the season is over
the plants will be given a fourth
chance in the hope of another season's
success.

F. H. Kramer reports finding it dif-
ficult to have the large smokestack at
his plant in Anacostia kept in proper
repair, it being difficult to get men
to go up to such a distance. He is,
therefore, replacing the iron stack
with one of brick.

George Augle, manager of the Phil-
adelphia Cut Flower Co., Philadelphia.
Pa., spent his vacation in this city, as
did also William Dunning, another
Quakerite, manager of the Julius
Wolff store. Mr. Dunning was accom-
panied by his family.

The Brookland Brotherhood held its
annual horticultural show in the Lord
Memorial Hall of the Brookland Bap-
tist Church, Twelfth and Newton
streets, on September 19 and 20.

Prizes were awarded for the best cut
llowers, potted plants, etc.

The Washington Florists' Club are
in receipt of an invitation from R. A.
Vincent, chairman, to attend the fifth
annual dahlia and flower show, Sep-
tember 26 to 29, and many of the
members will, no doubt, accept this
invitation as in the past, when good-
sized delegations of Washingtonians
have made the trip.

W. F. Gude has been appointed
grand marshal of the escort in the
Veiled Prophets' parade, September 26.
Florists of Washington who are tak-
ing an active part in the arrange-
ments are F. H. Kramer, George E.

C. Young & Sons Co. will build a
large retail place on Waterman avenue
adjoining their greenhouse plant. The
store is to have a 30-foot front and a
35-foot show house on each end, mak-
ing it 100 feet long.

It is not regarded as quite certain
that there will be a fall flower show
by the St. Louis Horticultural Society.
The meeting of the executive commit-
tee next week will decide for the pres-
ent. The board is divided on the ques-
tion.

The greenhouses of James L. Shields
at 7227 Florissant avenue, near the
Bellefontaine Cemetery, were damaged
$4000 by the wind Friday night. Last
spring nearly every glass in the green-
houses was broken in the hailstorm
which damaged much St. Louis prop-
erty. Shields' loss at that time was
several thousand dollars.

Flower Market Reports

(Ctmtinued from Au''

That the harvest
NEW YORK time in floral circles

is not yet lure is evi-
denced by the abundance of material
in the wholesale establishments and
the sporadic nature of the buying.
While the tone is undoubtedly bet-
ter, yet there is nothing thus far to
boast about. The quality of stock is,
however, greatly improved and it is a
pleasure to look over the product of
some of the careful growers. Roses
are especially gaining in quality from
day to day and the select grades are
saleable at a correspondingly better
price than prevailed hitherto.

Things picked
PHILADELPHIA up a little to-
wards the end
of the week; but on the whole trad-
ing was very sluggish. Storks have
Improved very materially both in
quantity and quality, the most notice-
able advance being in roses and car-
nations. American Beauty roses now
arriving are mostly from local grow-
ers— the eastern product which up to
last week was of better color being
now displaced. Dahlias have im-
proved greatly and are now much su-
perior as to stem and many of the
choicer varieties that do not flower
early are to be seen. Carnations also
are beginning to look something like
a flower. The only gardenias coming
in are outdoor stock. They are pretty
fair. The indoors will not be along
for some little time yet. Plenty of
cosmos of excellent quality; meets
with ready sale but at very moderate
price as a rule. Oak leaves with a
good tinge of brown are in. showing
that Jack Frost has "arriven" and
that the tritoma and oak foliage com-
bination will now be in order. Early
chrysanthemums have appeared, the
variety Golden Glow being the princi-
pal one so far. These meet with
pretty good sale. Hydrangea is now
showing its lovely bronze shadings
and is in much demand. lily of the
valley and lilies are both excellent
and abundant and the market for
these remains steady with rather an
upward tendency for local grown lil-
ies. The New York and other distant
longiflorums bring as a rule two to
five cents less than the home product.
Asters are still good and will proba-
bly continue a strong factor in the mar-
ket for some time yet.

The market during
PROVIDENCE the past week has

been sluggish, the
disappearance of the outdoor flowers
combined with the scarcity of indoor
blooms being in the main responsible
for the conditions. Asters have been
very short, choice stock bringing $2.00
per 100. nearly all indoor-grown stock.
A fe%v chrysanthemums have appeared
in the market bringing $2. Bit a dozen.
Roses have been plenty. Carnations
are short at $1.50 per 100 and the
supply is only fair. The flrsl killing
frost of the season swept over many
sections of the state a week ago Wed-
nesday night, dealing death to plants
and flowers of a tender nature that
had been left out by the unsuspecting
growers. Thus far no serious losses
have been reported. With the disap-
pearance of the many private outdocr
gardens in the urban sections florists
look to see an increase in the business

Carnation Clips

Save carnation growers the expensive job of stringing their plants.
With the Clip one-fourth the time i- -uflieient and the work is done
better. No string to buy each season and the Clips will last a life-
time.

NOTICE THESE SIMPLE DIRECTIONS:— Stretch Nc. 18 galvanized wire lengthwise between the
rows of plants using No. 10 wiro for the two outside rows. Cut cross wires at \<>. 18 and fasten Fisher
Clips on either end. Let two men walk on either side of the bench and quickly Blip the Clips over the
side wires and work is done till the plants are tall enough to need a second support, when proceed as before.

Prices Per 100, 60c; Per 1000, $5.00

They are indispensable to quick work and furnish a better support than any other device now on the market

In Dutchess County, N. Y.

MR. BRUNDAGE TAKES MUCH PRIDE AND PLEASURE IN THE DISPLAY.

My Aster beds are a strip of ground along the railroad track of the Central New
England. For years it has been mv pleasure to have a grand show. The most trouble-
some annoyance which I have ha 1 is the BLACK BEETLE AND THE STRIPED BliG —
these pests will skin the whole b inch if we let them alone, but we don't let them alone,
for as soon as the plants are gro ru I just take HAMMOND'S SLUG SHOT aud a bellows

1 go over the Whole. ON A STILL DAY DUST SETTLES EVERYWHERE. Then

when the blooms begin to open we ;-rive them another dose, and we have the flowers.
This year we let tbem go and the bugs or beetles got a start and we started for them but
they did us damage. Now for a L'ood many years I have' known SLUG SHOT and used
it, and there is no use trying to raise Flowers. Fruit of Vegetables without you watch
them, because as sure as the sun shines you have Bugs, Lice or Beetles which you must
get rid of. Now on Cucumbers t te striped Bugs play havoc) You told me once to put
some SLUG SHOT in water and sprinkle the rows. When that is done the Cucumbers
grow. The Cherry trees will curl he leaves with lice; if yon can blow SLUG SHOT over
these ends the SLUG SHOT stick* to the sticky mess which comes where these lice are
and they do not spread.

Get This Loose Leaf Book Now
We Send It Free

From these open pages shown, you would think it a book on boilers; but it's
more — a i0t more. It's a Florists' Supply Book of Greenhouse Materials. The
first half is devoted to greenhouse heating. Not just boilers, pipes and fittings,
but pages of useful information that you have wanted time and time again.
There are 66 pages in the book now, but it's made loose leaf fashion, and we are
going to add at least another 66 before the book is completed— maybe more. It
works like this: We send you the book of 66 pages now; and then every once in
a while (perhaps oftener) we will mail you additional pages all ready for putting
right in the book. All you have to do is simply turn back a couple of fasteners
and in the pages go. Every time we get out a new thing of importance, we will
promptly print up some pages about it, and mail them to you. You can see that
such a book will be invaluable to you, because it will always be kept right up-to-
date. Send for a copy right now while it's on your mind. Don't put it off till to-
morrow, for day after tomorrow you may need it badly.

Which Pile of Sash D© You Wart?

Here is a chance for you to get our

"Sash That Last" at a special price.

A price that will last for exactly 1 5

days and not a day longer. If your

order comes a day late, you must

expect to pay the regular price.

These special prices in lots of
25, 50. or 100 are for single
light each unglazed and un-
painted. For double light add
25 cents to each price.
Now a word about
themselves. Peter Henderson
has some at his place in J
City that have been in use for,
this is the twenty-second year.
From the way they look
would declare them good for
another ten.

Up at Stamford, Conn., the other
day we came across a lot that
have been standing the racket
for 35 years.

•urse, in both these cases,

the sash have been kept well
painted, but you always keep
yours painted and you might
just as well paint good sash
while you are about it, and even
i didn't paint them, there
isn't a sash made that will come
anywhere near beating "Sash
That Last" for endurance.
What's the use of buying r< i
heavy sash with open mortise
joints, when for only a few cents
more you can get Lord & Burn-
ham "Sash That Last" with
their blind mortise weather tight
joints, steel dowel pins, steel
cross brace and smooth work-
manlike finish ?

j And that isn't all — we guarantee
them— a guarantee that means
something — a guarantee that
says : "If they are not the

I best sash you ever saw, and
in every way exactly as we

LILIUM HARRISM

"The Bermuda Ess-tot- l_ily

l_ET KJS supply your wants in Lilies this season
We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer Is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is gTOwn for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrlsii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.
While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
1 the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 Inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Boddington's Quality Christmas
and Winter-Flowering Sweet Peas

r,L true stocks of Winter-Flowering Sweet Peas will be scarce this season. Some varieties are a total failure, owing to
tbe exceptional season In California this Spring. We can make immediate delivery of the varieties marked with a
star 1*1. the balance we are expecting from our grower in California at any time. Our advice to intending planters
is to order early.

Our stocks of Christmas-Flowering Sweet Peas have stood the test for years, and we can refer you to the largest
growers of this increasingly popular flower, as to tbe trueness and quality of our seed, earliness of blooming period,
and strength and habit of plants.

The following varieties are the "best bv test" and include Zvolanek's and our own introductions, grown for
seed from selected stocks by the leading California Growers and Specialists of Sweet Peas. Our output last year was nearly 6000 lbs.
No kicks and plenty of testimonials as to quality, germination and trueness to type.

A New Berry

461

At the vegetable show in the Massachusetts Horticul-
tural Hall, last week, Mr. Bayard Thayer of South
Lancaster, Mass., was awarded honorable mention for
cut sprays of a new berry from China, named Rubus
innominatus, which promises to be a useful autumn
fruit and may be of great value to the breeder. The
fruits, which are borne in large, terminal thyreoid pan-
icles 18-30 inches long under favorable conditions, are
red or orange-red with a black dot in the centre, of
medium size and agreeable sub-acid flavor. The plant
is a vigorous grower, making shoots 6 to 8 feet long

. Gard \ tien I .' . Loudon, £ng.

in a season. Tb a shoots are densely clad with short,
velvety pubescence and have relatively few scattered
prickles. Leaves large, 3-5 foliolate, dark green above,
covered on in with greyish-white felt. The

flowers are insignificant, but in September, when in
full fruit, the plant is exceedingly ornamental. Rubus
innominatus is one of my recent introductions from
China to the Arnold Arboretum where it has survived
unprotected the last two winters outside.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of Florists' Stock

AZALEAS

JubI as sunn as you gel the new Importations from
Europe unpack and give each plant that has a dry root
ball, a dipping in a tub of water long enough to thor-
oughly saturate the ball; don'1 overlook this for it is
very important in starting after they have

□ b.oxed up from three to Eour weeks. Pot them
into as si possible, using loam and leaf mold

in equal parts, with enough sand to let the water pass
freely. See that there is good drainage provided, and
be sure to pot firmly. For a few days place them in
a house that is shaded and keep rather close. Give a
daily spraying and gradually let them get used to the
sun and when they will stand full sun place them in a
cool house with plenty of air. The early varieties,
such as Apollo, Deutsche Perle, Simon Mariner, etc..
that are wanted for Christmas blooming can be kept in
a temperature of about 50 degrees as it helps the buds
to develop gradually. It takes from 6 to 8 weeks to
force them into (lower with a temperature from 60 to 65
degrees.

FORMOSA LILIES

These lilies are very useful commercially and should
be more grown, for they produce flowers of a fine type,
with excellent texture, which makes them ideal for a
good many uses. The potting soil should be a good
fresh loam, to which has hern added a fourth of some
old and well rotted manure. One good watering should
carry them over until the bulbs are well rooted. Place
them in a frame where they will be all right for some
weeks to come. These lilies are very variable in growth;
while some will be only coming through the soil, others
will be 8 or 10 inches, or more in height. These earlier
ones should be picked out and given a place as near the
glass as accommodation will permit in a house of about
6.0 degrees at night and they will be useful during Jan-
uary and February when flowers are not so plenty.
Keep down the aphis by fumigating frequently but
moderately once a week. When the buds show give
them some liquid manure once a week.

IRISES

The Iris family includes a large number of beautiful
kinds. While they will grow in any good deep loamy
ground that has a cool moist subsoil, it is well to use
some care in the preparation of the iris bed. Give them
a good start by enriching the soil with such
fertilizers as well-decomposed manure, bone meal,
etc., that has been well pulverized and deeply dug in
and in a fully exposed sunny situation. Fall-planted
irises produce better flowers the first season than if
transplanted in spring. Irises increase rapidly and
should be lifted and divided and replanted every three
or four years. They can be planted from 12 to 18
inches apart each way. A collection of German, Eng-
lish and Japanese iris will give a succession of flowers
of exquisite colors and ferns.

POT PLANTS TOR CHRISTMAS

There is every reason to believe that a larger pot
plant trade than ever will be done this coming holiday
season and now is the time to figure on what you will
need. If you are slum of stock uow is the time to buy.
You will find the best and most reliable dealers by a
glance through the advertising columns of Horticul-
ture. All such plants as araucarias, Begonia Lorraine,
Jerusalem cherries, lilies, Roman hyacinths, paper-white
narcissi, poinsettias, Erica melanthera, primulas, azaleas
such as Firefly, Mine. Petrick, Deutsche Perle, Simon
Mardner, Apollo and Vervaeneana, zonal geraniums,
ferns, palms, etc., should have the closest attention from
now on. See that the ventilation has careful manage-
ment for the outside condition of the weather is uncer-
tain. At this period of the year generally speaking, all
plants need very careful watering. See that they are
kept clean by proper fumigation and occasional spong-
ing of all decorative plants.

RAMBLER ROSES

Those who grow their ramblers in the field may lift
them any time now, taking care to preserve as many of
the roots as possible. Use any good rose soil for pot-
ting, pot firmly and give them good drainage. Place
the plants anywhere outside for the present and give
them a thorough watering. The earlier you attend to
these plants now the better they will be, for they will
have more time to form roots before hard weather sets
in. There is no need for pruning the wood back at
this time. Those that are pot-grown all summer should
by this time have completed their growth. Decrease
the water supply to assist the wood in becoming ripe,
but don't let them become dust dry as this would shrivel
up the wood rather than harden it. In two or three
weeks or when the wood is well ripened they should be
laid on their sides, as the heavy rains would have a
tendency to keep the wood soft.

VARIEGATED VINCAS

These plants that have been planted out should now
be lifted and potted. A 4 or 5-inch pot is a very good
size. Use a good loam with a third of well-rotted ma-
nure. Pot quite firmly and then give enough water to
penetrate the soil through. If you have a bench in a
cool house where they can stand close to the edge so
their long growths can hang down, this will make good
quarters for them for the winter and they will grow
into splendid and very useful plants for vases and
veranda boxes, by next spring.

Mr. Fnrrell's next notes will be on the following: Antirr-
hinums; Bulb Planting Outside; Care of Vandas; Fall Care of
Violets; Treatment of Nymphaeas; Rooting Cuttings of Hardy

Shnil.s.

STRVU i.i I ; 1 : 1 1 -

The hoi weather of August ami earl] Septembei was
Btrawberrj plants growing in pots, and
in main cases growth was no! so rapid as it ha- been in
the lasf f.'u weeks. Cooler days and evenings with
heavy dews air welcomed by thee ture-loving

plants. Ever] encouragemenl mus en them

now ini", are growing and there arc yel a few
left Eor them Prick up the Burface -oil

and runners. Non thai the pots are filled with
ding with qui ag manures (liquid cow

eep manure is fine), will assist the plants to build
up a nip crown which is essential if good ber-

ries air to he had later. Never allow the pots to be-
c ■ real dry. Syringe the plants morning and after-
noon in tine weather taking care that they are dry again
before six o'clock.

VINERIES

Vineries which have had a crop cleared oiT should
he thrown wide open, any shading which may have
been used on the glass removed and the vim- given

rt unity to ripe n up their wood. Any growths

which have hcen allowed to "run" to encourage root
action can ooi I ack, as also can laterals

which bore no fruit. !'■■ so doing the base i
plumped up and this is what we look for when pruning
on thi m. Many good eyes, per force,

have to be pruned away and this is when
the long-spur system try to gel one on us, bul by short-
ening some of the laterals hack now a good basi
is obtained. Should the foliage he at all dirty it is
a good plan to syringe with some approved insecticide
ly. This will great!} facilitate the winter clean-
ing. A- long a- the foliage lasts hosi well every
ing in fine weather. This helps to heal ofl
and also encourages the buds to swell.

PEACHES AND NECTARINES

Am new tiees which it is contemplated to plain or
use as pot trees should be - and ordered al once,

if this has not been already done so. In previous issues
HOBTICI in re has givi to listing varieties suit-

able for early and late use and also a combination for
succession in one house. These lists ha i com-

piled after watching and studying a qua] of varie-

ties growing under ordinal, greenhousi ns in

■ a. Yet there may be meritorious ones om
but these mentioned will be found good enough to fill
the bill in their various classes. Where pot trees are
grown, pots and potting material should he got in
readme--. Half-dei am, lime rubble and char-

coal constitutes a good mixture. A little lime nibble
mixed in with the borders as root pruning and reno-
vating is proceeding is good. Procure and store all
ble of this valuable asset.

IfEXONS FOR CHRISTMAS

Melons sown September 1st will now be established
in the beds. Keep a moist atmosphere and syringe

twice daily on all fine day-. This is the greatest pre-
\enii\e again-! red -pider which later on will be trouble-
-, mi, . if allowed leeway, when more fire heat has

used, ' which are made after thi*

should be grown throughout in pots.

Man k d made u ly, but by

mce there is plenty of time to have one
bearing for Christmas. Gel as much fresh horse ma-
iiuiv from the stables as possible al one time, so that
your heap is a© umulated in a is an

advantagi a res i yenly. This heap should be

placed under cover in a cool place and spread out to a
of one foot and turned over each morning.
and night, taking oul any long straw as you proceed,
the manure to dry a little and also even
the heating properties. Each day the manure will be-
come quite hoi and in turning so much ammonia will
be lost until a uniform temperature is maintained
Probably it will take a week or ten days to attain this
stage. Ex] only teacher as to when a bed

is ready to be made up, but look for the manure to be
the same each time of turning. Before trans-
fen ing to benches add a little fine soil to the manure
i- a preventive of over-heating. Make as firm
and finish with an even surface. By means
proper th the temperature of the

bed gradualh, will touch 100

or. 1H» and then recede. When it has gone

down to 85 -pawn, breaking the bricks

into pi '■ of a small hen's egg and press

the manure firml . around each piece. In about a week
M days when the temperature has gone down to
aboul 70 cover the whole surface of the bed with about
an inch and a half of rirgin soil and press gently down.
Keep a moist, atmospheric temperature of 55 and in
about six weeks a first cut should be made.

WINTER lettuce

Winter Lettuce will now be growing nicely in the
frames. Keep the surface soil wrell cultivated and a
sharp look-out for caterpillars and other insects. A
fine spray over mornings and early afternoons will be
beneficial. Keep protection handy in ease of sudden
frost coming down. Succes.-. ugs for growing on

in vegi uses can be made at intervals. Keep the

-s and give plenty of air.

BEANS

Dwarf or bush beans are appreciated through the
winter months and are easily grown in pots or benches.
The La profitable, finer beans being pro-

duced with less i rouble. Fill the benches with good
rich soil and scoop out the rows an inch deep and
eighteen apart; this allows for a double row to be
-own. Insert the seeds singly, about two inches deep.
As the seedlings come through draw the soil about them.
Syringe well to keep down spider and maintain a night
lerature of 55 to 58, with the usual advance by
day. By making a sowing every week or ten days a
supply can be kept up the winter through.

Crops

from improved

backyards

A complaint comes from a western
nt\ that the exploitation of the

"improved backyard" idea in that
neighborhood had resulted mi the
launching of a lot of amateur flor-
ist? whose consign!) asters and other flower gar-
den products to tlie wholesale markets had of late ma-
terially contributed lo the demoralization of established
- nn these things. Looks like "a tempest in a tea

pot" doesn't it? It is up to the florist to keep ahead
of the backyard amateur. If lie can't produce some-
thing which tlie latter cannot produce and a better and
more saleable quality, be must take the consequences.
Long live the "improved backyard" and if it did noth-
ing nunc than to lone tin straggling tailenders in the
florisi procession to "get a move on" it has certainly
served a very useful purpose not exactly contemplated
bv its promoters.

The vegetable growers of New

About England have won the congrat-

exhibition reports ulations of the profession at large

by the superb exhibition of vege-
tables staged at Horticultural Hall. Huston, Mass.. last
week. It was a vast ami comprehensive display of the
choicest products of the vegetable garden, grown to per-
fection by expert gardeners despite the almost uncon-
trolable drawbacks of the worst season in many years.

Again the superiority of the Lenox gardeners lias I n

demonstrated in the arrangement of a splendid veg-
etable display and alter these repeated demonstrations
of their abilities in this line they must lie recognized as
about invincible. One objection we would submit in
regard to the judges' report in this as in very many
other shows i- tin- failure to record the names of win-
ning varieties under the classes for "any other variety."
Recording ami publishing the names of growers winning
first, second and third in the standard varieties listed
in the schedule is all right and necessary but it carries
little or no educational value. In classes where un-
listed ami often obscure varieties are pitted against one
another, however, there is much to be learned as to
comparative qualities which is, of course, open to the
observant visitor but is lost to the vast number of inter-
ested persons who were not present, unless noted by
the judges. Without such comparative trials many
worthy varieties not yet widely known or generally
grown would often be left in undeserved obscurity and
we believe it is a great mistake to omit mention of
them in the prize reports.

Last year and the year previous, the
An apparent (J. S. custom house authorities at the
injustice various ports of entry collected $2.50
per thousand on all hyacinth bulbs im-
ported to this country during that time. It then came
to light that the tariff law had been misinterpreted by
the collectors and that according to the tariff law the
ilut\ should be only fifty cents per thousand and under
this latter figure hyacinths are being admitted this
year, h would seem reasonable to expect that the gov-
ernment would at once refund to the importing florists
and other- the $2.00 per thousand bulbs which had been
illegally imposed. This rebate, however, it seems can
only hi' collected by those importers who entered their
goods under protest through an attorney with an agree-
ment to give up fifty per cent of the amount refunded
to the attorney in case of a successful outcome for the
protest. So it stand-, under the position which the
government assumes, that all importers of these bulbs
who. in good faith, paid the duty demanded, without
protest, have no recourse and those who did enter a pro-
test will get their money back, but are obliged to give
half of the refunded money to the lawyers. To the
unprejudiced observer it docs appear that the govern-
ment ha- in i In- instance been taking tin unfair advan-
tage of a technicality. As a matter of simple justice
the excess money which, it has been acknowledged, was
exacted in error should, as it appears to us. be at once
returned in full to the people to whom it rightfully
belongs.

PROVIDENCE WHOLESALE FLOW-
ER MARKET, INCORPORATED.

Articles incorporating the Provi-
dence Wholesale Flower Market were
filed by Alexander Macrae, John A.
Macrae and Joseph Kopelman, all of
Providence, R. I., with the Secretary
of State, on September 27, and they
were granted a charter authorizing
them to engage in the wholesale and
retail flower business in accord with
the General Laws of that state. The
capital stock of the concern is $5,UU0,
divided into shares of $25 each. The
show and salesrooms on Washington
street are nearly completed and the
doors will lie thrown open to the
trade on October 1.

_ S. A. G.

The John Deere Plow Co. of Balti-
more, will shortly have a large in-
crease in their floor space, the proper-
ty, 213 West Pratt street, having
been purchased with a view to the de-
struction of the present building now
located at that address, and the erec-
tion of one of concrete, stone ana
pressed brick, five stories high, and
the same used in connection with their
present quarters which adjoin. This
new building will measure :l*xl50 feet
and will be equipped with electricity,
steam heat and elevator service.

A PERENNIAL BORDER.

Superintendent Pettigrew of the
Boston Park System has added a
much-appreciated feature to the at-
tractions of Franklin Park in the form
of a perennial border. This border, as
shown in part, in our cover illustration
this week, is serpentine in outline,
skirting the edge of a rolling meadow
for a distance of 1400 feet, and set off
by a background of trees and close
shrubbery, the latter not yet grown to
its full intended effect.

The border is not literally a peren-
nial border, for much of its radiant
color effect is attained by the use of
Countess of Elsmere petunias, cannas,
antirrhinums, gladioli, pentstemons,
dahlias, cosmos, salvias, poppies, verb-
enas and other annual material, but as
the peienuial plantations attain their
maximum growth the necessity for
annual fillers will be proportionally
lessened. As seen in the picture pre-
sented— which was taken in late Sep-
tember, the hardy asters are in the
height of their glory. Of these so-

called "Michelmas Daisies," Mr. Pet-
tigrew has acquired a magnificent col-
lection, including all the novelties
from foreign sources, and in another
year they will make a magnificent dis-
play. None, however, can excel our
own Aster Nova Angliae, with its rich
outburst of purple and amethyst.
Heleniums, chelones, rudbeckias, heli-
anthus, boltonias, phloxes, veronicas,
violas and lilies are among the most
brilliant factors in the autumn show.
The spring outburst is ushered in by
masses of early and late flowering
tulips, narcissi, etc., and peonies,
irises, campanulas and other spring
and summer favorites follow along in
brilliant array, there being at all
times an abundance of seasonable
bloom. The masses of color are boldly
blended and contrasted, and the pub-
lic have displayed much interest in
this excellent object lesson in the art
of garden making.

Next year sorae lily ponds and Vic-
toria pools are to be constructed in
the foreground meadow.

McHutchison & Co., the New York
plant importers, report the third
shipment, of azaleas already in and it
is expected that by next week the en-
tire importation will have been re-
ceived. This is considerably earlier
than ever before.

A MODEL ESTATE.
A few hours spent on the estate of
Mrs. J. B. Converse, Greenwich, Conn.,
known as "Stanwich House'' under the
able guidance of Wm. Graham, su-
perintendent, proved most interesting
and pleasurable. Mr. Graham studied
his work at the Wayside Farms
and Conservatories of Milton.
Mass., under the skilful training
of Geo. M. Anderson. After complet-
ing his apprenticeship there, when a
lad of 17, he took the selling end of
the business, and after five years lie-
came foreman. Later he took charge
of the rose growing establishment of
H. F. Crawford & Co., staying with
this firm for three years or until the
dissolution. He then accepted his
present position where he has suc-
ceeded in converting a run-down farm
into a modern country estate which

at the present time can equal any in
the Greenwich section although it is
only four years old. On the day of
the writer's visit Mr. Graham was busy
superintending the laying out of a
large rose garden, and dynamiting
numerous boulders preparatory to con-
verting a piece of marshy land into a
lake and finally to become a formal
garden. There is no glass on the place
yet but plans are already out for a
range after the bulk of the landscape
work is completed. The vegetable
garden is laid out artistically. On
each side of the white sand-stone
walks are beds of herbaceous flowers.
In the center is a clipped evergreen
flanked by crescents of salmon gera-
nium. The fruit garden is a model.
The original apple trees have been
pruned into shape and sprayed back
to life and now are hanging with
fruit Of good quality.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

WESTERN DAHLIA AND GLADIO-
LUS SOCIETY.
The initial meeting of the Western
Dahlia and Gladiolus Society was
called to order at the Denison
Hotel, Indianapolis, Ind., at 1.30 P. M.,
Tuesday, September 26th, President
Barnes of Spencer, Ind., in the chair.
The exhibition at Wiegand's di-
viding the attendance adjourn-
ment was made to that estab-
lishment to meet at 8 P. M. Di-
rector E. E. Stewart presided at the
evening meeting in the absence of
President Barnes, who was called
home because of illness in the fam-
ily. Homer Wiegand was made sec-
retary pro tern. Eleven new mem-
bers were recorded, which included
prominent growers in the middle
west. President-Elect Vincent of the
S. A. P. wrote expressing regret at
his inability to attend and asked that
his name be recorded as a member.
Committees were appointed to take
up in the immediate future the most
pressing work of the new organiza-
tion— first, on co-operation for the
Chicago show in August; second, on
nomenclature; third, on premiums
and specials for the Chicago meeting.
A rising vote of thanks was extended
A. Wiegand & Sons for their courtesy
in supplying exhibition space, as-
sistance in staging and entertainment
of the officers. After further discus-
sion and examination of exhibits the
convention adjourned subject to call
of President Barnes.

As early as 6 A. M. Messrs. Stewart,
Barnes and others representing va-
rious exhibitors were on hand at the
big Wiegand conservatory on North
Illinois street. On account of late ar-
rival of some exhibits the staging was
somewhat delayed; however, the ex-
hibition was ready by noon. Presi-
dent Barnes supplied something like
6,000 blooms of dahlias in many types
and forms. W. E. Stewart staged
seventy-five varieties of gladioli which
came through in fine condition and
showed up well considering the late-
ness of the season. One of his new
ones, somewhat resembling Mrs.
Frances King, is called Michigan. He
also showed President Taft and
Golden Queen. Vaughan's seed store
6ent from Western Springs, dahlias
and gladioli in about thirty kinds.
The latter included Mastodon and
Chas. L. Hutchinson. Wiegand &
Sons had advertised the event in the
daily papers and the attendance of
the general public and amateur grow-
ers of these flowers was good both in
afternoon and evening.

EXHIBITION GROUP OF VEGETABLES, FRUIT AND FLOWERS.
By Messrs. Webb, si Shrewsbury Show, England.

VEGETABLE GROWERS' ASSOCIA-
TION OF AMERICA.

The concluding session of this As-
si i iation at Boston last week main-
tained the interest evidenced in the
opening meetings and the visitors
were especially enthusiastic over the
great vegetable show put up by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

That present railroad rates discrimi-
nate unfairly between fruit and vege-
table growers to the advantage of the
former, and against the short as op-
posed ti> the long haul was contended
in the discussion on this topic.
.Much evidence on the point has been
contributed to the secretary, and it
will appear in a report shortly to be
presented to the interstate commerce
commission, with a petition that con-
ditions be amended.

Another matter that occupied the at-
tention of the association was the
standardization of packages. There is
S mowing tendency among vegetable
men to forward their goods in free
non-returnable packages.

VEGETABLE SHOW AT BOSTON.

The vegetable growers of Boston and
contiguous territory certainly put up
a magnificent exhibition, under the
auspices of the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society at Horticultural Hall.
Boston, last week. Every available cor-
ner in the big building was utilized and
in the majority of classes, all three
prizes were awarded and in many class-
es there were a large number of entries
besides. Ed. Jenkins of Lenox, Mass.,
took the big prize for best collection,
Frederick Mason winning second place
and Allen Jenkins third. The list of
winners in the regular classes was le-
gion and space will not permit our re-
cording them here. Honorable men-
tion was given to the Johnson Seed
Potato Co. for new potato Brunswick.

J. E. Murphy for new potato Canasota;
V. Buitta for collection of unusual
vegetables and Bayard Thayer for
Rnbus innominatus, a picture of which
appears elsewhere in this issue. Da-
vid Lumsden was given a certificate
of merit for new seedling orange-
fleshed melon. On account of the great
interest shown by the public in this
exhibition it was kept open until 10
o'clock Sunday night.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

.Mrs. Burke-Roche of Newport, R.
I., authorizes the offering of a prize
of $50 for a new yellow rose — to be
competed for any time after June,
1912. The said new rose to resemble
as nearly as possible in color the Mar-
shal Niel but with a strong upright
stem. Another prize which will be
coming along soon is the Mrs. Ger-
trude M. Hubbard Gold Medal to be
awarded once in five years. This
medal is to be given to the originator
of the best rose of American origin
introduced within five years — the year
will be 1!U1.

An executive meeting will be held
in New York City, Sept. 28th, to con-
sider arrangements for the Detroit ex-
hibition. This meeting will be fol-
lowed by a conference in Detroit to de-
termine upon the detail work. The
Rose Society will ask its friends to
subscribe a guarantee fund so that the
Society may be able to offer an ex-
cellent list of prizes, and be assured
of financial support. The Rose Society
has passed the $3000 permanent in-
vestment fund from its life member-
ship fees, this fund is invested in
guaranteed mortgages of New York,
tne securities are those in which th<
State Savings Banks are authorized to
invest.

Obituary

General Samuel C, Lawrence.
Horticulture and many of its allied
interests has suffered a loss in the
death of this distinguished citizen of
Medford, Mass. Although never tak-
ing any active part in any of the or-
ganizations for the promotion of
knowledge along gardening lines, few
men loved the native Mowers of Amer-
ica any better than he did and by his
generosity in allowing his large pri-
vate estate iii Medford to be a daily
playground for the public, he proved
it in a manner that so very few of the
wealthy do, the privacy of his resi-
dence not even being respected by a
too eager public, who often take the
advantage of a privilege granted by a
large-hearted man such as he was. and
one day a short time before he was
taken sick, on being remonstrated with
by a member of his family for allow-
ing the public so much freedom, he
replied in the hearing of the writer,
"well, you know, we that have the
privilege of having these things can-
not afford to be selfish about them."
Many years ago General Lawrence ac-
quired about three or four hundred
acres of woodlands adjacent to the
Middlesex Fells reservation, and built
roads and other conveniences all
through it, also an observatory on
Rams Head Hill, the highest point of
it. which commands one of the finest
and far-reaching views in the vicinity
of Boston. The fight that this public-
spirited gentleman put up against the
gypsy moth and other insect pests is
a matter of the history of these
scourges in Massachusetts and need
not be dwelt on here. As an employer
he was beloved by all his employes.
and I will add that the writer has
been employed by the rich for about
thirty years, and has had the privilege
of coming in personal contact with
royalty and other titled nobility of the
old land, but for all the qualities that
make a true gentleman none could
surpass this distinguished son of Mas-
sachusetts.

Genl. Lawrence spent his winters
in Miami. Fla., and at the time of his
death was developing an estate of one
thousand acres for the production of
fruit and flowers suitable to that grow-
ing winter resort. He was a distin-
guished free mason having a short
time ago resigned from being Sov-
ereign Grand Commander of the Su-
preme Council of the Ancient and Ac-
cepted Scottish Rite. He was also a
veteran of the Civil War, being severe-
ly wounded at the first battle of Bull
Run. General Lawrence was much in-
terested in educational matters, being
a graduate of Harvard in 1855. keep-
ing up his interest in that line by
serving for many years as trustee of
the Public Library of Medford, con-
tributing many valuable books to it
each year. He is survived by a
widow, a son and daughter, and a
brother and sister. His philanthropy
was done quietly not allowing his
name to be mentioned, and many will
mourn his loss along these lines.

ill but one u.e\ .lust one week be-
fore his death he attended a meeting
or the v. M. C a., di which he was

president, and in which he always

boys' branch. The writer could not
but notice his untiring- efforts in this
particular work, often walking several
miles to and from the meeting place
in order to be with the boys, some-
times to deliver a lecture on some
fitting subject that would educate
them in the better and higher things
of this life, other times to instruct
them in the athletic work of the asso-
ciation. He was for many years a
member of the Society of American
Florists and The New York Florists
Club. Mr. Powell was born in Pem-
berton, N. J., and when quite young
entered the employ of John G. Gard-
ner at Jobstown, N. J., on the Ranco-
cas Stock Farm, of which Pierre Loril-
lard was proprietor, and after serving
his apprenticeship was engaged as
head gardener to John Wyeth at

as gardener to Pierre Lorillard, also
as superintendent of the park.
Twenty years ago he entered the em-
ploy of Mr. Samuel Thorne of Mill-
brook as superintendent of his estate
known as The Crest, which position
he has faithfully filled, always work-
ing for the interests of his employer
with that untiring zeal which charac-

Mr. Powell was an expert chrysan-
themum grower and was often sought
to act as judge at the fall exhibitions
and being so well qualified to fill this
office that every exhibitor always
seemed satisfied to abide by his decis-
ion. He has just finished a book on
the culture of the chrysanthemum
which should be in every gardener's
library.

Funeral services were held in the
Thorne mansion on Sunday, the 24th,
when between four and five hundred
people attended to pay their last tri-
bute of respect to the deceased. The
floral tributes were many and beau-
tiful, among the most noticeable be-
ing a large wreath of Richmond roses
from the New York Florists' Club,
gates-ajar from garden employes,
large cross, six feet high, of lilies,
gardenias and asters from house em-

Sebastian P. Fischer.

Death claimed one of the youngest
men in the florists' business, Sept. 21st
and the news of his sudden death was
a shock to the trade who did not gen-
erally know of the illness of Sebastian
P. Fischer of Evanston, 111. Just a
week prior to his death he was taken
to St. Francis Hospital and but one
day previous to that he was in the
market buying flowers but complained
of not feeling well and typhoid fever
had even then its hold upon him.

Sebastian P. Fischer was born in
Trier, Germany, 27 years ago and with
his parents came to this country in
childhood. With his father and broth-
er John, he was in business in Evans-
ton, but two years ago the boys
started for themselves and were build-
ing up a good business, the manage-
ment of \^hich was directed by Sebas-
tian. John having charge of the grow-
ing and a sister. Paulie, the retail
store on Dempster Avenue. On the
last day of his life, feeling that he
could not get well, he planned the
future of the business and gave help-
ful advice to those left. His father.
Fred C. Fischer, brother and sister
survive. He was a member of the
Catholic Order of Foresters, Knights
of Columbus and of the Evanston
Business Men's Association.

Adin A. Hixon, aged 68 years, 6
months and 8 days, the librarian and
secretary of the Worcester County
Horticultural society for 20 years, died
on the night of Sept. 25 at his home
in Worcester, Mass., from pernicious
anemia after a long period of ill
health. For 10 months he was con-
fined to his home. He leaves a widow
and one son.

Mr. Hixon was a most devoted hor-

and efficient official. Few men were
better known throughout horticultural
New England than A. A. Hixon.

MICHELL'S DAHLIA SHOW.

This was something of a departure
from the usual trade exhibition which
is usually given for advertising pur-
poses exclusively, but in this case
the element of competition came in,
and that is of educative value. No
tradesman can give a show on the
same basis as a society; but as far as
they could the promoters in this in-
stance made as good an imitation as
is possible— while at the same time
frankly owning up to the advertis-
ing part of it. The Horticultural So-
ciety of this city is at such a low ebb
that an affair of this kind — even if it
is a trade proposition — assumes more
than usual importance. That, and the
competitive element is the reason
why we devote space to more than
the usual passing notice.

The extent, quality and variety of
the exhibits; the arrangement; the
auxiliary decorative subjects; the gen-
eral management; all were of a very
commendable nature. The show held
open four days — September 26-29, and
the big store was crowded all the
time, and the salesmen had their
hands full. Extra flowers came in
every day.

Among the decorative subjects out-
side of the dahlias may be mentioned
Funkia coerulea, Sedum spectabile,
Tritoma, Zla Japonica variegata. Sal-
via splendens, Amaranthus, Zinnia,
Helenium autumnale, African mari-
gold, Aster Nova Belgae, Eupatorium
Frazeri, gladioli, ferns and palms.

The chief prize winning vase was
cleverly placed in the street doorway,
and ranged back of same were the
other prize winners along the center
aisle. The erowds were attracted in.

and the rest was a matter of insidious
politeness.

The general manager was Philip
Freud, one of the best in the business
and a genius in that line. The judges
were W. C. Herbert, A. L. Turnley, L.
K. Peacock and Maurice Fuld.

^TT Some men can never get out
3] of their own way — they are
pulling their own weight and don't
know it. Cheap-price Buggaboo
has a mortgage on their intellect
at the rate of about 50% per an-
num. And these are the very fel-
lows who kick the most — they
couldn't kick more if they had
their bed spread on a donkey-
engine. They buy cheap stuff for
little money and immediately for-
get what they pay but never for-
get how bad the stock is after it
is forced. They have ingrown
ideas of their own and you can't
tell them anything nor reason with
them. They are almost as bad as
the professional canceller of or-
ders — the worst and meanest
kicker on the face of the globe.
Just the kind that would insist
upon a one-armed man to take
up a church collection — they
don't even trust themselves. They
are so used to dealing with the
Wooden-Shoe Hikers from Hol-
land that they think there is no
honor left in the world. So, when
you buy bulbs for little money,
expect little value and you will
not be much disappointed ; but
if you pay a fair price and insist
upon a good article, you will be
better off. Then, remember that
the profit in your business is not
regulated by the amount of pot-
wolloping you do but by the kind
of pot-wolloping you can get
others to do for j-ou plus your
ability to market the goods. For
real good bulbs, particularly lily
bulbs, write us.

Seed Trade

Seeds That Are Scarce
The following is an extract from a
communication sent out under date of
September 28, lull by W. Atlee Burpee
& Co.

While garden peas and Golden Self-
Blanching celery have been in ex-
tremely short supply for the past two
years, yet never before in the history
of the seed trade have there been so
many nor such alarming shortages as
in seed crops of 1911. There is "al-
most a famine" not only in peas and
French-grown Golden Self Blanching
celery, but also in nearly all the beets,
mangels, carrots and parsnips, as well
as in certain cabbages, radishes and
turnips. Eastern-grown cucumbers
are'only one-fourth to one-half a crop.
California sweet peas average little
more than half a crop. Our crops of
Connecticut-grown Red and Yellow
Globe onions are also unfortunately
short in yield of seed, while Gibraltar
onion is almost a complete failure.

In our extensive travels the past
summer (more than 30,000 miles), the
only country in Europe where we
found seed crops unformly good was in
Denmark. On some of the islands of
Amager and Zealand the crops of cab-
bage and cauliflower were better than
we have seen for years and the seed
should possess unusual vitality.

i Notes.

. Among the items that show signs
of under-supply for the prospective de-
mand this fall are the Dutch bulbs, es-
pecially narcissi and astilbes.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

Maurice Fold of Michell s has just
returned from a tour of the New Eng-
land flower shows. Among items
worthy of mention he cites: — that Mi-
chell got a first class certificate on
Kunderdi gladiolus at New York City;
at Hartford; and at the New Haven
shows; that C. H. Totty has the great-
est new rose of the year in Sunburst;
that at the Newport show the exhibit
of Miss Foster was wonderful; and
that Henry Wirth of Providence, R. I.,
an amateur who exhibited thirty seed-
lings of cactus dahlias of his own rais-
ing is a wonder and ranks with the
best of the professionals.

We are glad to be able to announce
that James Griffin, florist, of Frank-
ford, who with his daughter were near-
ly killed in a runaway accident oppo-
site the Michell farm at Andalusia
about a month ago are on the mend
and are able to be about again. How
near a case it was may be imagined
■when we state that the young lady
was unconscious for four days. Mr.
Griffin was thrown twenty feet on the
hard road and was unconscious for
hours. This is rather a lonely
stretch of pike and it was nearly twen-
ty minutes before assistance came and
the patients were rushed to the hos-
pital.

Joliet, III. — The seed and agricultu-
ral business of Chas. S. Culver, 120
Jefferson ' street, has been purchased
by ICaffer Bros, of Minooka. The busi-
ness will be continued with John Kaf-
fer as head.

We understand that it is the practice
quite generally this year for some of
the Holland bulb houses to "pad" their
American' orders on French bulbs, add-
ing to each shipment a thousand or
two more bulbs than the order calls
for; The importer is, in a way, almost
helpless in such a case as he must
accept all or none and there are very
few who would care to get into a con-
troversy afterwards over so compara-
tively small a matter. Quite a good
scheme, for unloading surplus this
year and increasing the size of your
order next year.

Brownsville, Tex. — The Brownsville
Growers' Association has been per-
manently organized here for the pur-
pose of co-operative marketing and
the buying of crates, seeds and other
supplies. A. H. Darling was elected
president; T. N. Randall, vice-presi-
dent and J. S. Duncan, secretary-
treasurer. The organization will be
incorporated for $2000 and a charter
has already been applied for. The
membership at present is about 125
farmers, all of this section, but it is
the plan of the promoters to have the
growers of the entire Rio Grande Val-

in a fall sustained when his motor-
cycle skidded, throwing him to the
ground.

George C. Shaffer, Fourteenth and
Eye streets, N. W., will make a num-
ber of minor repairs and will repaint
the Interior of the store.

The Brookland flower show held in
the Lord Memorial Hall last week
brought forth some very creditable
specimens of cannas, dahlias in many
varieties, roses and geraniums.

J. A. Phillips, proprietor of "The
Flower Store," at 2926 Fourteenth
street, N. \\\, last week opened up a
branch in the Arcade Market at Four-
teenth street and Part Road. N. W.

The Joseph R. Freeman store at 612
Thirteenth street. N. \\\, is receiving
a new coat of green paint on the out-
side and one of ivory white on the In-
terior in preparation for fall busi-
ness

Marche & Co., 735 Fourteenth street,
X \Y\. have repainted the interior of
their store and further improved it

Wallace \v. ECimmel, 1131 Four-
teenth street, N. W., with a party ol

1 1 i> iids is doing his utmost to remove
the tinny denizens of the water sur-
rounding Blackistone's Island, Mil
Anyhow they are having a very good
time from all accounts.

Mr C. .1. Saunders recently re-
moved his store from 1411 to 1415 U
street, N. W., at which latter address
he has more space and a store more
nearly fitted to the requirements of a
growing business. The stand is well
located, being near the transfer sta-
tion at Fourteenth and U streets. He
is one of the recently elected members
to the Florists' Club of Washington.

It has been reported that the part-
nership which heretofore existed be-
tween J. Harry Ley and J. J. Bickings
has been dissolved. They have been
doing business during the past six
years under the title of Ley & B ck-
ings. The former will continue at
the old stand while the latter will re-
engage in the two new houses, on ad-
joining land, which have just been
completed.

The Washington Florists' Co.,
Thirteenth and F streets have perhaps
the best display window in the city
this week, decorated in the honor of
the convention of the Veiled Prophets.
As a setting for a display of lurid
Satanic scenes and emblems the win-
dow is filled with scarlet geraniums,
cannas. golden rod and ferns, and at
the hack is a large model of the Wash-
ington monument, painted red in spots,
and representing "A Hot Old Time."

Florists in Anacostia, D. C, where
there is a large area devoted to hot-
houses, are enlarging their facilities,
and those who have not added to their
equipment are expected to do so short-
ly. Two modern hot houses have l)een
recently constructed for Fred H.
Kramer at his establishment in Good
Hope road. Others have been built at
the gardens on the Bickings estate at
Good Hope, and James F. Pierce is
modernizing part of his equipment on
the Bow en road. Alexander B. Gar-
den is having similar work per-
formed at his Minnesota avenue
plant.

tailers, taking a position at the Alpha.

The Chicago Carnation Co.. is
ting carnations now with 18 in. sti
There are none finer in quality in the

The mail order business already
in for the Fisher Plant Clip is

raging to the E. H. Hunt Co..
wln> nre handling it. Last wi
Issue contains full description with
illustrations.

The flower show given by the Horti-

cultural Society of Chicago at th(
Institute last week was not taken bold
of very enthusiastically by growers In
;il. The space was nearly all
taken by a good exhibit from Vaugh-
in s Seed Store and in most entries
there was no competition.

G. Redburn has just returned from
a western trip which extended as far
as Portland, Ore., and found business
very encouraging. Mr. Redburn re-
presents the A. Henderson Co., whose
advertisement appears in another
column and whose second shipment of
Formosum and first of Multiflorum are
due this week.

A trip to the George Wittbold's
plant at Edgebrook is a pleasure, for
the young stock is in excellent condi-
tion and being rapidly shipped out.
Work in the; nursery will be in order
soon and a fine lot of iris, cut-leaf
sumach mulberries, snowberries. box
elders, etc., are ready for shipping.
Otto Wittbold is still wrestling w:th
hay fever but never loses a day.

ST. LOUIS NOTES.

Wm. P. Craig, of Robert Craig Co.,
Philadelphia, spent a few days here
the past week calling on the different
plantmen.

There is some talk of organizing- a
union among the florists. This talk
comes from those who solicit funeral
orders and want to make a hit with
the local unions.

President Taft's visit last week
brought some extra work for the local
florists. At every place the President
visited flowers were prominent
Beauties were largely used on all oc-
casions.

The Wm. C. Smith Wholesale
Flower Co., with their employes,
spent Sunday afternoon, September
24, at Kirkwood. They came back
with a great load of crawfish. There
wi re five ladies in the party.

which came some ten days ago R

getting solidity and finish, and
each day sees them more deserving of
attention from the flower buyer.

With the outdoor ma-
BUFFALO terial drawing (lose to

the end, prospects for
new lit'.' In business is looked for at au
early date. There was a slight frost
some few nights ago, but no injury
reported to any extent. Short-stemmed
roses and carnations are gradually
Oiling the market, and the warm days
have a tendency to bring them on
faster. Gladioli are shortening in sup-
ply, also asters, and they will not be
missed until they are over with. Sum-
mer roses still are had in good supply,
and there are some choice Kaiserins
ami President Carnots. Bon Silenes
are gradually coming forward and
violets have made their appearance.

The change in the mar-
CHICAGO ket conditions is com-
ing gradually and trade
has not experienced the sudden re-
vlval that many anticipated when
September came. All lines of stock
are selling as well as is usual before
a frost, even the few flowers left in
the gardens affecting the local market
somewhat. The opening of the va-
rious clubs in the city beuins this
week and adds consider 1 1 > 1 v to the
demand for Beauties and other roses.
Asters are still with us and the sea-
son will close as it began with a few
good ones and many poor ones, the
former from the greenhouses and the
latter from the rain-soaked fields.
Carnations are showing up well for
the season, stems fully up to the av-
erage and blooms large and perfect.
The first violets are straying in and
orchids are more than able to meet
the demand this week. Gladioli will
soon be of the past nnd give way to
the chrysanthemums, now coming in
more freely and selling readily for
September. Of roses, the variety is
complete and the qualit \ excellent,
while prices vary accordingly. Ship
ping trade is quite good the be.-t
roses are practically used up each
day. There is a good supply of green
of all kinds.

Flower Market Reports.

(Cfntinttsd from pa^r 4~~)

Many extensive store dec-
DETROIT dial ions for fall open-
ings and weddings kept
most of the stores very busy and put
a more healthy price on cut flowers
It looks as though we may look for-
ward to a short supply for a few
weeks Ln the near future. A very en-
couraging report comes from Mt.
Clemens where the majority of our
wholesale glowers have some very up-
to-date ranges.

The genial weather
NEW YORK continues to exercise
its uncongenial influ-
ence on the flower trade, and so long
as dray loads of dahlias, cosmos and
other garden products are a daily-
spectacle in the wholesale district noi
much change in conditions may be
looked for. The same warm autumn
sunlight which brings the dahlias into
bloom is also at work on the indoor
crops, and roses are responding to its
influence with an exuberance which
brings dismay to the man whose busi-
ness it is to find a purchaser for the
heaped up consignments. The cattle-
yas, likewise, are hurrying in on the
market and where, a couple of weeks
ago none were obtainable, today the
dealer is sorely puzzled as to how to
get rid of them. Violets have added
their quota to the general accumula-
tion. They are blooming more freely
than would be expected under the cir-
cumstances, but are very pale in color,
and there is very little demand for
them Carnation gradually improving
and chrysanthemums getting more in
evidence every day. Asters slackening
up and gladioli near their end.

We are passing
PHILADELPHIA through a tr

tion period a t
present. The summer doldrums are
over, of course, and the .-anguine
looked for the brisk fall business to
commence at once. But the brisk fall
business holds off. For a day or two.
off and on, we imagined that the brisk
"brown clad lad" was with us — and
then we awakened to the sad fact
that it was only a dream, due to the
wish being father to the thought.
Last week we had flowers to burn
and no takers. The past week was
only a sample of the condition. For
four days it was "nothing doing" —
then Friday and Saturday saw a pret-
ty good clean-up on everything except
roses. The latter, especially in pinks
and whites, went a-begging; a big
surplus. The red roses like Rich-
monds and Beauties fared better.

Some blamed the weather but while
that was not ideal it was not so bad.
The demand simply was not there in
any department — that is all. The ma-
jority of the carnations are pretty
short-stemmed and such stock hangs
fire. Really good carnations meet
with ready sale, but these are few.
Dahlias are very plentiful and excel-
lent. All things considered it is sur-
prising how these clean up when tip-
enormous quantity coming in daily
have to find a market — or the dump.
Of course the prices on these are very
moderate and this has its effect on
all other flowers. Asters and gladioli
on the wane. Orchids more plentiful
and a big drop. The only chrysan-
themums arriving so far are early
yellows and these find a fairly good
market.

The general toi
PROVIDENCE the "market during

the past has shown
a slight Improvement and the tradi
in a very expectant mood. Outdo*
flowers are practically extinct and as
a consequence the hot-house prod
are in demand. The prospects for a
prosperous season appear very bright
Already many "corning outs" are
scheduled, society is planning for a
busy time this winter and man] enter-
tainments are cm the programme.
\\ iili ibis outlook the florists are feel-
ing jubilant and their only hope i-
that they can supply the demand I
nations are coming slew and the de-
mand far exceeds the supply. Th
quality is fair, but the stems are short
and the average price is $1.50. Chrys-
anthemums of a very fair quality are
on the market, bringing from $2 to i'.\
pei da en al n noli sale with a good <i
mand Roses of a fine quality an- verj
plentiful, Many ol the florists
showing a fine crop of violets for this
time of the year and they are worth
a cent apiece at wholesale. Some very
fine cattleyas are available at $0 per
dozen. Asters an- running very poor.
there is little demand for them.

During the past week
ST. LOUIS there was a great deal
of stock in at any of
the four markets with hardly enough
demand to dispose of it and the warm
days did no good to a left-over stock.
Prices have been very cheap all week
and in some cases the thousand-lot
prices were so very low that we will
not record them. A few chrysanthe-
mums are coming in, and sell well at
from $1.50 to $3 per dozen. These
from now on will become more plen-
tiful each week and stay with usMn
abundance for the next two months.
Next week we are looking forward
to as quite a busy one. The fall fes-
tivities begin with the Veiled
Prophets' Ball which generally uses up
a lot of extra Bne stock. There will
also be a lot of fall opening dec-ora-
tions to be made for the- large depart-
ment stores downtown

The Jewish boli-
WASHINGTON day caused a little

flurry in the mar-
ket Thursday and Friday last wet k
but Saturday was almost flat in com-
parison There was plenty of good
clean stock to cover all demands.
Roses are even more plentiful than the
week past. Lilies selling slow at $^ to
I ;>er hundred: lilies of the valley
are going fairly well at from $3 to $4
i undred; dahlias have been quite
plentiful at from 75 cents to $1.50.
There were probably more carnations
In the market last week than were
d. and they were sold at from
$1.00 to $1.50 per hundred. The pinks
and whites seem to go quite well, but
there is little demand for reds. Cat-
tleyas are more plentiful and arc of-
fered at $6 per dozen, with little de-
mand In some cases as low as $35 per
hundred. The above quotations apply
to first-class stock only, the poorer
grades being sold to street men at
much lower figures. There seems to
be an increased number of street men
and an increased demand for the class
of goods they carry

Good Jobs for Good Men

qp

HE "rowing importance of the horticultural trades is strikingly
shown by the demand for trained men who are familiar with the
greenhouse, nursery and seed businesses. "We could use, or place
with our clients, at least a dozen good men if we knew where to
find them. Some of the openings that offer unusual opportunities,
details concerning which can be obtained by writing us, are as follows :

COPY MEN. For our own staff. The first requirement is the ability
to write clear, concise, convincing English -and consequently experience
en a daily paper is almost necessary. Another essential is love of the things
that grow and a successful record in growing plants, trees and shrubs,
commercially or otherwise. Further, it is highly desirable to have had
training in the sales department of some business — preferably, of course,
in one the product of which is sold to the classes of people who buy
fruits or ornamentals. Only young men can be considered, and good health,
clean habits, ability and willingness to do a lot of hard work, are some of
the necessary qualifications.

PARTNER IN NURSERY.— For one of the best greenhouse and
nursery plants in the country — 50,600 feet of glass and 130 acres. A
competent man who possesses good business ability will be sold a half
interest at a fair price and on reasonable terms. Locality is unexcelled
for growing many kinds of nursery stock.

CORRESPONDENCE CLERK.— For leading nursery, growing fruit
and ornamental trees, etc., in large quantities, and selling both at retail and
wholesale. The business of this firm is growing by leaps and bounds, and
there is no better opening for a young man of energy, adaptability and
some experience in the right line.

OFFICE MANAGER. — For another prominent firm of nurserymen. A
man who knows book-keeping, office systems, filing methods, etc., and who
is thoroughly up-to-date, will find this the chance of a lifetime. "Has beens"
and fellows who know it all need not apply, however, — a "live wire" with
executive ability is required.

SHIPPING FOREMAN. -For great eastern fruit-tree nursery. A fine
position for men of good habits and clear record. No booze-fighters or
lazybones will be considere J. Knowledge of varieties and of good and bad
trees an absolute essential — also ability to handle and hustle men.

Write us fully if any of these openings appeal to you.
Your communications will have prompt attention.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists' Stock

LNTIBRIIINl MS

One of the besl crops to follow the early and medium
anthemums is a strain of the improved large
flowering snapdragons. Plants propagated fron
tings oi si ed last spring and oo asioi d into

larger pots will make promi indoor plant-

ing. Where they have been grown under field culture
the Booner planted now letter \' ter planting be

ular i" give sufficienl water to wel the ball thor-
oughly. In a week or ten days they will be making new

and active r - in the bench so it is essential to keep

the soil evenly moist. The beds should be slightly
aed up and entirely free of weeds at all tunes.
Disbudding am oota supported to ensure

-i might stems should receive attention as soon as they
require it. Give them a temperature as near 50
degrees at n in lit as possible and let them run up to 65
or "ii degrees in the day time with sunshine. The
aphis must be kept in check for they are very difficult
to eradicate when once they get the upper hand, so give
light and regular fumigation. Ventilate as much as
-ible day and night until cold weather.

BUI.B PLANTING FOB OUTSIDE

The planting of hardy bulbs can be done any time
from now until the middle of November. In the more
northern States the ear] is the best, but in the

latitude of Massachusetts and Connecticut from October
10th to the 20th will be sufficiently early, and for
further south correspondingly later will do. All bulbs
with but few exceptions, like well drained soil. Any
beds or borders with ten to eighteen inches of good soil
will grow line Sowers. CTse plenty of well-decayed
manure, always avoiding fresh manure. To prevent
sum- I thawing give them a mulch of

- or straw manure and lay on a few evei
boughs so it will not blow away.

i u;k OF VANDA8

These orchids will need the utmosl attention now in
the way of ventilation. At this season there will be
times which will deprive them of much ventilation, so
give them all possible when climatic condition- ari

jrour shading so thai by
f w ill be ha\ ing the direct solar rays which
are -.i essential for their welfare. These or
require quite a supply i E water even during the winter
and should on no account suffer from drought. Now
that lire heat will I ia1 the atmosphere

does not become too arid or dry. for in their native hab-
itat- during thi restii Irj season they are rel
by heavy dews at nighl \t this period oi
syringe them overhead on all brighl mornings so that

-. "in before the afternoon.
Vandae will stand a high temperature, but if during
the winter they are held from 60 to 65 at night, with
ten degrees higher during the day. they come out with
betti tut on.

There is no cut flower crop so apt to be ruined in so
brief a space of time as the violet. We should now re-

double wati I fu to meel any Budden rising or falling
in b ram-, shifting winds, chill} or
overwarm nights. Watering should always be done in
the morning and only on bright da lai the Mi-
may he dry before night, for if the water li i the

foliage over night the leaves will become the Beat of a
fungous growth thai will ruin your crop. Give the
beds an interval of time between waterings to ensure
drying oul of the soil, and sweetening b] stirring and a
couple of da ire to the sun and air. Keep the

plants free of dead ased leaves and ina

s v m in allAS

All tendei i - should be tal-.cn ind - and

kept in a temperature of 55 to 60 degree:- ; this will
keep them in a i rmanl Btate until spring. Where

the hard] nymphaeas and nelumbiumf iwing in

natural pond- having water of sufficient depth thai
freezing will nol reach the crown-, the) are \
secure for the winter. Those that are grown in tanks
or tubs can have the water drained off. Cover with
boards and on this plao enough of leaves or litter to
keep the frost out.

ROOTING Cl DTING8 "I HABITS sllliUBS

Most of the Bhrubs which are of value to the florist
lend themselves EreeL) to fall propagation. Select the
ripened shoots of tiie past summer's growth, but the i
lings should neither be taken from the very small tv,
nor from the thickest growth, but just the medium. I
into lengths of from 8 to 12 inches and insert in freshly-
dug soil, choosing a warm sheltered aspect. Where the
soil is of a heavy claye] nature a little sand should be
placed in the bottom of the trench opened for the recep-
tion of the cuttings. Place the cuttings well down —
even if the top is covered it will be all the better. By
the middle of December cover the beds with some rough
Litter 6 or 8 inches in thickness, which can be taken off
in the spring as Boon as the weather will permit.

Mr. FarreU'a nexl notes will be on the following: Amaryllis;
Care of Ardlslas; Chrysanthemums for Exhibition; Campanulas;
Lorraine Begonias; Planting Lilies outside.

Decorative Dahlia Golden West

This Buperb novelty, which forms the subject of our

cover illustration this week, was one of three new

dahlias exhibited for the first time at the Dahlia and

mial Show in Horticultural Hall, Philadelphia, on

September 19 and there awarded certificates of merit by

This variety was men-
tioned in our notes on the show in issue of September
ed as a "Cactus." Wc think Mr.
Burpei lied in his claim that "it is undoubtedly

the finest yellow in cultivation, regardless of type."

Clematis paniculata mining at will over rhododen-
drons and adorning the dark foliage with its airy white
festoons makes a lovely picture in late September and
seems to have no ill effect on the rhododendrons.
Indeed, it is a possible benefit to these shade loving
plants if it does nol grow too rampant.

Some Autumn Flowering Shrubs

Although the large majority of flowering shrubs pro-
duce their blossoms during the spring and early summer
months there is also a considerable oumber which are
seen a1 their besl until the fall, and when one con-
siders whal a large number of people there are who
spend this season ear at their countrj estates it

is surprising thai this section is aol given more atten-
tion.

Ilarih flowering shrubs are undoubtedly becoming
ever} year more popular, a step certainly in the right
direction, and the} possess many advantages over the
softer bedding plants heretofore so much employed.
These, though useful and beautiful in their season, are

onlj g I Eor a short tunc and demand a considerable

amount of attention, whereas flowering shrubs when
established may be considered permanent and necessi-
tate but little labor to maintain them in good condition.
The varieties mentioned here include some of the
best for park and garden use and all of them may be

considered i ■< tl] hard] as far north as Magnolia,

MasSi \,,nh of this it is probable thai some might re-
quire slight protection in winter bu1 1 shall make special
refereno i se and even if it should prove no -

hi annually they are such beautiful
additions thai all who appreciate their value would
willin petuate them.

To !■:. II. Wilson we are indi ited for a large oumber
of new and mei shrubs and it is very

ifying to find that man) of these now in cultivation
a\ \ aold Arboretum flower during the late sum-

mer and autumn months. The most remarkable of
these are the varieties of Buddleia variabilis and for
ornamental planting - ither on a large or small scale

uo i i beautiful shrubs exist. Some members of the

genu- Buddleia have been known in gardens for many
- I::i\ ing been introduced to Europe al-
, century and a half ago. but Si-'\v of them were
ficiently hardy to become generally cultivated out-of-
doors in this country. The g a very interesting
one and geographically covers a wide range, some mem-
bers being found in America, Asia, Africa and else-
where. As greenhouse plants some are of great merit.
two or three from Central China discovered by Mr.
Wilson bi ing spei tally valuable, and I hope to refer to
the- qi ar future.

,\ form -! Buddleia variabilis with pale purple flow-
ers and pro-irate growth In- been known to science for
some years but as a garden plant it is of little value.
Wilson's form of tl superior shrub with up-

hahit and long cylindrical tails of bloom and is
the forerunner of several remarkable varieties. Those
that have received names up to the present time are
magnifiea, Veitchiana, Wilsoniana and superba. Though
all of these arc equally meritorious the first named is
perhaps the most notewortl counl of its remark-

or. The individual flower- in all the forms of
Buddleia variabilis are quite small, noi measuring more

than an eighth of an inch in diameter luil they are pro-
duced in great profusion at the terminal of the main
stems and the numerous side branches. The (lowers of
magnifiea are bright rosy-purple with a conspicuous
orange eye and the edges of the petals are reflexed. It
commences to flower about the middle of August and
continues till the end of September. Veitchiana
flowers a week or so earlier and grows a foot or so

taller, with a re upright habit, but the stems droop

gracefully when the flowers commence to open. These
are a deep lavender shade and the center bright orange.

Wilsoniana is an exceptionally fine variety from five
to seven feet in height and the flowering portion of the
stem is frequently from thirty to forty inches in length.
The color is rosy-lilac with a deep orange eye. The
other variety — superba, though not so tall-growing as
the preceding, is of exceptional merit. The side Btems
are produced freely from the ground and each termi-
nates in a rounded tail of bright rose flowers, which
contrast ver] effectively with the deep green foliage.

Buddleia albiflora, another specie- from < Ien1 ral < Ihina,
bles B. variabilis and grows from five to eight feet
in height. The foliage is'dark green above and silvery
grey beneath and the flowers, in spite of the specific
name, are lilac in color with an orange throat and
sweetly scented. It commences to flower in duly, but
the numerous side branches maintain a succession of
bloom well into Septem

Buddleia nivea from Western China is not orna-
mental from a flowering standpoint but is worth grow-
ing for its ornamental foliage. The stems and under
side of the leaves are densely clothed with white, silky
hairs which make the plant quite attractive. It will
grow seven feet high and the flowers are pink in short

ai I llle-.

The four varieties of 11. variabilis mentioned above
are all extremely easj to cultivate, a good loamy soil
and open sunny position with plenty of water in the
growing season suiting them to perfection. Although
the stem> frequently die down to the ground in winter
this is no draw-back for if they do not it is advisable to
prune them right down in the spring so that an annual
growth i- obtained. North of Magnolia 1 would advise
taking up the roots in winter and storing them in a
cool cellar.

Propagation is very simple either by cuttings inserted
in September, which make nice flowering plants the fol-
lowing year, or by seed sown any time after it is ripe, in
a gentle heat. To perpetuate these varieties cuttings
mii-i be employed as B. variabilis varies considerably
from seed. As these plants have great potential value
the raising of seedlings is to be recommended as varie-
differing widely in color and time of flowering are
i ertain to he evolved. As bees are very partial to them
and they hybridise freely the best colors only should
be kept so that inferior ones do not detract from them.
As single specimens or for bedding in parks and open
few plants are superior to these and there is
undoubtedly a greal future before them.

Fruit and Vegetables under Glass

LATE VIMS

Late vines thai are just finishing up their fruit will
m Mil ever}' care to enable them to hang on as long as
possible. Should the fruit -nil require a little longer
in "finish." maintain a uight temperature of 65 to 70,
advancing to TO to <T> by day and 85 with sun heat.
Always admit as much air a- possible and keep a bui
ant atmosphere. The pipes must be kepi warm at night
and also through the day when the bud i- not shining.
Be governed b\ outside climatic conditions as to how
much moisture to keep in the house. On bright days
the house will probablj stand for damping three or
four times but should it be damp outside keep the vinery
dryer. Maintain a dry ati ai night and do not

allow am condensed moisture to be on the berries in the
ni.TiiiiiL- V ver shut the house up entirely; a crack
n( air is indispensable for ripening grapes.

Rats and mice will be seeking shelteT now and a
vinen seems to be an ideal place for them (not a grow- ■
er's opinion). Keep all dooi >1 at night as a

ecaution, and lose uo time in trapping or poisoning

Pot trees of all kinds will now be resting and should
it In neglected even though their requirements at
present are few. In fine weather continue to give them
a syringe every morning and water the roots, should they
be on the dry side. After pi n : nei tarini

their leaves is their most critical time. If allowed to
dry out they will cast their fruit buds and a season is
-i. Vvoid over-watering s will go rotten. Tin-

also applies to cherries, plun - and apples in a

lesser degree, the two latti est to winter.

Figs in pots or tubs that are also resting will be all
right outside until seven make an appearance,

but alter a few degrees thei musl be housed. They
will take more water than the other subjects as long as
they have their foliage.

STOUINc; MTI I - \\n PEABS

Tins is an item which commands considerable atten-
tion as when properly stored ome" 3upplj is aug-
mented for months. Storing apples in quantity from
orchards is a different proposition from handling a
few. So much then depend- on the quantity. I am
not going to advocate any tern of storing as there

are so many and so much i on what accomi la-

tion there is at one's disposal. Care in gathering is
one of the chief points as bruised fruit will not keep for
any length of time. When ,, quantify of late desert
apple- i- to be kept a properly constructed fruit room
is advisable. Om aintain a uniform temperature

in extreme weathers, should have extra thick walls and
a non-conduct ing runt'. Shelves can be arranged in
tiers which has the advantage of allowing the fruil to
be looked over at interval- and any decaved ones re-

moved. Somi fruit rooms are built foi oi namental
buildings. When a spe< al room is not available, cel-
lar-, and spare rooms can be used. Avoid a
very dry place, as the fruit will shrivel quickly in such.
Keep an even temperature near 10 without excessive
dampness or dryni artificial heat. Apple- have
been stored on cellar floors (where no fire was) with
clean strau thrown over them to keep out the frost.

H'l v M'll

This is a useful vegetable to include in the winter
for you can "cut and come again.'" If sown now
in drills one foot apart a nice growth will be obtained
before the severe weather sets in. I'm- any well en-

EDUCATION IN FLORICULTURE.

Mr. Editor:

Prof. White, i" bis desli e to cooper-
ate with practical gardeners and flor-
ists on betaall ol floriculture al Am
berst, displayed a creditable breadtb
hi urn ;ui<l earnestness tor the ad-
vancement ol horticulture In this
state, aud. I think il your valuable
paper were used aa a means i<>r dls-
cu88ing the best way to train young
gardeners aud llorists he would gain a
good deal ni help In that direction. My
own vim is that his department
should be so constructed that It
would u"i 1< .in too much to either the
commercial or what is called private
gardening, i he European apprentice-
ship system is very good, but In my
day ii bad a great detect. In not hav-
ing the time or facilities for study
which is so necessary to keep any one
from tailing into a rut or getting set
in his ideas.

Amherst, 1 think, .should secure
those Intending to follow horticultural
pursuits at fifteen or sixteen years of
age about the time they finish gram-
mar school, as from mj observation
and experience (for I have children in
high school i after a boy has gone two
years or more to high school he will
very often not care to knuckle down to
that manual labor which is necessary
in training anyone to be a good practi-
cal gardener or florist. The course
should be at the very least three years
and four would be better; one year at
outdoor vegetable and fruit-growing,
a second in what might be called
Mower garden work and a third in the
greenhouses, but it would better be
two years In the greenhouses as indoor
fruit culture is beginning to come to
its own in this country, and one year
should be devoted to it.

There should be a good collection of
fruits, vegetables and plants, both out-
doors and in the greenhouses, but not
many varieties of any species, for if
one knows how to grow one rose or
carnation or tomato, for instance, he
will by experience soon learn the pecu-
liarities of the several varieties of
either. I see no sense in a horticul-
tural school going into a series of ex-
periments with the different varieties
of carnations or roses about how many
flowers per plant they will produce in
a given time, as the majority of new
varieties have a comparatively very
short life and it is waste of time and
public money, if the institution is sup-
ported by the state.

The members of the committee
chosen by I'res. Miller of the G. & F.
Club of Boston, are men of wide expe-
rience and success in gardening mat-
ters, and we ought to see our state col-
lege do some good work for horticul-
ture through their efforts in co-opera-
tion with Prof. White.

Trade Society Meeting.
The Horticultural Trades' Associa-
tion which is doing excellent work in
the interests of British nurserymen
and seedsmen, held its annual meet-
ing recently at Exeter, under the pres-
idency of Mr. Peter Veitch, of that
town. At the business meeting a sat-
isfactory report of the Association's
work was presented, recording the con-
tinued usefulness of the Society's op-
erations. In addition a number of
matters of moment to the trade were
fully discussed. The remainder of the
time was spent in sight-seeing. Sev-
eral of the chief nurseries in the dis-
trict were visited. On the second day
a visit was paid to Bicton, through
the kindness of Lord Clinton, where a
magnificent collection of conifers, rare
plants and flowers were the chief at-
traction. A very enjoyable time was
spent on the water in exploring the
delightful scenery of the West Coun-
try. Mr. A. W. Paul of Waltham
Cross, was elected as the President
for the ensuing year.

RUBUS INNOMINATUS.

Editor HORTICULTURE:

Seeing a cut of the new berry
"Rubus Innomlnatus" in your issue of
Sept. 30 I write for particulars. Is
the plant for sale? How long after
being planted before it fruits? I am
82, but would like to see it growing
and fruited. Yours truly,

DR. J. H. THOMAS
Wyoming, Del.

In reply to Dr. Thomas' query and
incidentally several other Inquirers,
Mr. Wilson informs us that Rubus in-
nominatus will fruit in the third year
from seed and the second year from
cuttings. The only firm offering it in
this country, so far as we know, is R.
& J. Farquhar & Co. of Boston, who
will no doubt give prices and other
i tit i n niation on request.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE NOTES
FROM MIDDLE WEST.

Strawberries have made a little bet-
t( r growth than usual this year and
will go into the winter with more
plants set and developed ready lor
Mar's fruiting than they usually
The acreage for this coming
year will not be quite as large as
what has just fruited.

There appears to be less anthrac-
nose on the raspberry canes this year
with Mime growers tian there has
bi i ii lor several seasons, but general-
h speaking, there is more, and the

i IB lot a|i;i irent.

Onions are all out of the field and
mostly sold. Some have been shipped
this ton in the car loose, but gener-
ally it will pay the shipper to have
them sacked before they are loaded.
The price is around $1.75 to $2.00 per
100 lbs. and there is not much chance
of its being lower for a few months.
Yellow Globe is most largely grown.

Apples and pears are a slow sale at
any price but stay around 75c. The
crop is not big yet most trees have
some on them that are salable.

Peaches are plenty, yet the price Is
$1.25 to $1.50 and up for the fancy
ones. Banked trees are safer for the
winter and are doing better produc-
ing this year than the ones not so
treated.

County fairs have shown more
fruit on display this year than ever
before. The size was a little above
the ordinary, but the most specimens
have more or less scale spots on
them.

A NOVEL GREENHOUSE FEAT.

An event of great interest to the
florists' took- place a few days ago
when Mr. Stahelin moved a block of
four houses, 35x173 each, over a field
of 29,000 carnation plants which had
been cultivated there all summer long.
The houses are just like any other
houses except that they have no
benches, of course, and the heating is
all overhead. As the carnations are
planted in the. field, they make one
house each of Winsor, White En-
chantress, May Day and Beacon.

The supporting posts of the houses
have heavy wheels inserted in their
base which run on steel rails; these
again are supported by concrete posts
eight feet apart. It took five men six
hours to move them into place but Mr.
Stahelin expects to move them in 30
minutes next year.

Next season the place over which
these houses were built will be culti-
vated and planted with carnations and
the houses moved back on again. For
the heating of these houses Mr. Stahe-
lin made provisions by erecting a con-
boiler house. 30x42. with two
boilers of Inn horsepower each, and a
smokestack SU feet high with a 50
inch flue. Although this entirely new
method is more or less of an experl-
nevertheless, Mr. Stahelin has
certainly opened up a new line of
l bought.

25th ANNIVERSARY FLORISTS CLUB OF PHILADELPHIA

This historical and important event
came off in due form on the 3rd inst.
The meeting of the Club in its regu-
lar monthly session took place half an
hour previous and elected J. Otto Thi-
low for their new president and con-
tinued George Craig as treasurer and
David Kust as secretary for another
year. The banquet followed in the
main hall. President Heacock occu-
pied the chair and in due course in-
troduced Wo. n. Smith as toastmas-
ter. The latter gentleman has done
this honorable function for twenty-
flve years and fine as he was at the
beginning he has mellowed with age
and is now finer than ever. There
were 149 ladies and gentlemen around
the tables and, as William F. Gude
said, they formed "the most distin-
guished assemblage in any one club
ever seen in the country (wouldn't
that jar you?). The Philadelphia Club
has the distinction of being the first
of the many similar organizations
that have sprung up in every part of
the country.

Secretary Rust read letters from
all the leading lights in the business
conveying their cordial regards and
best wishes. The list given below
gives a good idea of the speeches.
This program was more or less close-
ly followed and where one or another
was not there — there was always
somebody to take their place. And,
so we mark another milestone in the
history of our business.

contributed by R. Vincent, Jr.

We hear much praise also for the
able assistance of the secretary of the
Club. David Kust, who worked most
energetically with the committee in
cariying out the arrangements. The
president, Joseph Heacock, was also
an earnest worker.

The only fault we can find with this
successful affair is that it was made
too much of a social function. The
Florists' club is a business organiza-
tion, and it seems to be drifting
further and further from its moorings.
It could do a whole lot of good if wise-
ly handled. Robert Craig was dead
wrong in praising it as an athletic or-
ganization. We think Robert was just
hunting around for nice things to say
— and you all know his inimitable way
of making the worse appear the bet-
ter reason. If the business is going
to get any better through the Florists'
Club it will not do it with songs and
jollity and athletics. The problem is
much more serious and hasn't really
been tackled yet notwithstanding this
our twenty-fifth anniversary. So we
say to the younger generation — forget

n w in Rust

Secretary.

all these platitudes of the orators and
start in and do something. Athletics
and jollity are fine— as an adjunct —
but we want to broaden the business.
The sugar coating to the pill may be
fine — but it isn't the pill. Of course
I put on my swallow-tail like the rest
of them but I'm not especially proud
of it.

The gardening craft within the In-
fluence of this association, especially
those in charge of estates expect that
much good may be done by the new
movement, anticipating that owners
of estates will have more of their at-
tention directed to horticultural pur-
suits with the result that gardeners
will get more assistance and encour-
agement in their work than is the
rule at present, so the outlook points
to a mutual benefit.

FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHINGTON.

The October meeting of the Florists'
Club of Washington was held in the
store of Gude Bros., 1214 F street, N.
W., Tuesday last, with President May-
berry in the chair. The committee
having in charge the matter of obtain-
ing new quarters reported thai the
e Hall on Twelfth street, N. W.,
was available for the purpose and
there were other halls equally favor-
able. They were granted nsion
of time until the next meeting, at
which a full report ma\ lie expected.
Other matters of local interest only
were brought up for discussion, follow-
ing which an adjournment was taken.

The members then broke up into
smaller groups to discuss such mat-
ters as interested them individually
and later, upon suggestion of Mr.

Schmid, they went in a body to inspect
the Moose Hall, referred to earlier in
the evening. This was found to con-
sist ot two exceptionally large rooms,
one for business purposes, the other
for the preparation of such refresh-
ments as may be furnished from time
to time, or as a banquet hall. The
members were favorably impressed
with this and action will be taken at
the November meeting of the club.

THE VINCENT DAHLIA SHOW.

Richard Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co.,
oi White Marsh, Md., held their fifth
Annual Dahlia Show Sept 26-29, 1911.
The first day was known as Maryland
Horticultural day and there was a
good attendance of members of the
State Society. In addition to dahlias
there was a good exhibition of farm
and garden products. These were
judged by Prof. Thomas Symons, Geo.
O. Brown and Alex H. McCormick.
Wednesday, Sept. 27, was Gardeners'
& Florists' day, and large delegations
of the Baltimore and Washington
clubs were present. The mayor of Bal-
timore and other politicians were on
hand Thursday. The Messrs. Vincent
have 40 acres of dahlias, and the va-
ried colors present a most beautiful
sight. Fifteen acres of eannas, with
eight or ten rows of the different col-
ors planted side by side across the
fields make a mammoth high-colored
ribbon effect contrasting effectively
with their foliage backgrounds.
Crowds went down on the extra trains
daily, and they were people who ap-
preciated the wondrous sight. Rich-
ard Vincent, Jr., was simply delighted
to see the people enjoying themselves.
Thousands returned home with a huge
armful of dahlias. The immense pack-
ing and potting rooms were trans-
formed into a spacious flower show,
exclusively of dahlia blooms in end-
less varieties, effectively arranged. Be-

A GARDENER HONORED.

Herbert Clark, formerly at West Man-
chester, Mass., has returned after sev-
eral years at Southampton, Long
Island, to take charge of the Denegre
estate, a place on which, by the way,
he had been the first superintendent.
On Friday night of this week a warm
greeting was extended to Mr. Clark by
his old and new fellow-gardeners of
the North Shore Horticultural Society

at their regular meeting in Manches-
ter.

Last week Saturday, previous to his
departure from Southampton, Mr.
Clark was tendered a farewell banquet
by the Southampton Horticultural So-
ciety, of which he was a founder and
its first president, and a loving cup
suitably inscribed was presented to him
with many cordial and sincere wishes
for his prosperity. Among the lead-
ing addresses was one by Peter M. Mil-
ler, of the firm of Thos. J. Grey Co.,
Boston, president of the Gardeners'
and Florists' Club of Boston.

wild green products.

William Kiss.
Falling asleep while a lighted pipe
was in his mouth, William Kiss, a
Manchester (N. H.) florist, was suffo-
cated in a room of the Lincoln House
on the evening of September 27. Kiss
was dying when discovered by the

Robert Laird.
A leading Scottish horticulturist has
lately passed away in the person of
Robert Laird, of the well known firm
of Messrs. Laird and Sons, Ltd.,
nurserymen and seedsmen, of Edin-
burgh. Mr. Laird was well known and
respected throughout the seed trade
north of the Tweed; he took a very
prominent part in the affairs of the
Royal Caledonian Horticultural Socie-
ty, and the Scottish Horticultural As-
sociation, having for ten years been
secretary of the latter organization.
He was also closely identified with
the Royal Scottish Arboricultural So-
ciety. He will be greatly missed.

South Freeport, Me. — Superintend-
ent J. J. Turner of Casco Castle Park
has resigned his position there to ac-
cept the position of general manager
for the Southworth Brothers nurseries
at Beverly, Mass. The beautiful
grounds at Casco Castle have been
for the past nine years in charge of
Mr. Turner, and he will be greatly
missed, not only at Casco Castle
where he leaves many friends, but at
the various Maine fairs where he has
been yearly a leading exhibitor, win-
ning in the last four years 164 blue
ribbons and several special prizes. Mr.
Turner was born in Boston, and was
graduated from Harvard in 1S76, after
which he took a two years' course in
botany and landscape gardening. He
laid out many fine estates in New
York and New Jersey and was con-
nected with the Chicago park system
for a number of years.

able then to carry hail insurance.

As announced last week the mar-
riage of Herman Schiller and Pearl
Yager took place Saturday evening
at the home of Mrs. Hilliar, the
groom's sister, at 2207 West Madison

tants, and they are being held without
bail awaiting the result of the injuries
of their victims. It is alleged that
grubbing axes were used in the as-

that he is in a very critical condition.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

A hah Godding, landscape gardener
in the employ of the government, has
returned to Anacostia, D. C, after a
month's trip through Maine and Mas-

ii husetts.

William F. Gude is the florist mem-
ber of the committee appointed to re-
ceive the delegates to the National
German-American Alliance convention
being held here this week.

David G. Fairchild of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture will give the
members of a newly-formed class or
consuls and consular assistants now
in session at the State Department,
an illustrated lecture on the as-
sistance which they can, as consular
officers, render the Agricultural De-
partment and through that depart-
ment the country at large in connec-
tion with the introduction of plants.

There has been a rumor in the news-
papers to the effect that a movement
has been started to have the grave of
Nicholas Studer, the pioneer florist of
the District of Columbia, suitably
marked through the erection of a mon-
ument. Mr. Studer died some twelve
years ago and it is stated that the
body lies in an unmarked grave. He
was a native of Switzerland. Gude
Bros, now own the place formerly
conducted by him.

Charles Kohen, the proprietor of the
cut flower stand at Ninth and D
streets, N. W., was recently the vic-
tim of an assault made by two night
watchmen. Between them they took
Kohen to the police station, using him
quite roughly on the way. Upon be-
ing recognized by one of the sergeants
at the station he was released some
time later. The watchman who first
accosted him was in court adjudged
guilty of assault and fined $10.

Gude Bros., and Fred H. Kramer
each held a very successful sale of
palms and ferns last week. Their
stores were crowded and neither firm
had cause for a cry of "dull business."
At the Kramer store a large quantity
of bulbs were also offered and dis-
posed of. Many schools and clubs
took advantage of low prices to secure
these plants for decorative purposes,
and in every instance both the cus-
tomer and the firm making the sale
were pleased.

Visitors: Charles E. Meehan of the
S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadel-
phia, Pa., C. H. Sieck of C. Smith &

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

C. H. Grakelow wins in the primary
election for his ward. We regret to
learn that the campaigning has proved
rather a severe strain on such a fine
wire! That he may speedily be re-
stored to his old self is the earnest
wish of all. We understand that a se-
rious hemorrhage came as a result of
his strenuous efforts— on top of the
condition caused by the attack of pneu-
monia from which he suffered last
winter.

PROVIDENCE NOTES.

Carl O. Keiffer, 36 years old, pleaded
guilty to the charge of passing a
forged check when arraigned on Octo-
ber 2, and was bound over to the
Grand Jury in $3,000 surety. The
name of N. D. Pierce, a well-known
florist at Norwood, R. I., was signed
to the check. Keiffer was employed
by Mr. Pierce in his nursery last sum-
mer and was discharged about the
middle of August. Shortly after his
disappearance from Norwood the
worthless check appeared. He was
traced to Chicago and brought to
Providence without being extradited.

The firm of Smith & Berker of
North Broadway, East Providence, do-
ing a general florists' business, has
dissolved its partnership under the
date of September 26. Gabriel C. Ber-
ker has withdrawn and the business
and all obligations have been taken
over by Frank W. Smith. The firm
recently constructed an elaborate
greenhouse, 30 x 106, on North Broad-
way. The foundation and walls of the
house are of cement concrete. Mr.
Smith will grow strawberries this win-
ter, following which he will put the
entire house to lily of the valley.

TWO MT. CLEMENS GROWERS.
Fred. Breitmeyer's plant, the most
extensive of Mt. Clemens (Mich.)
places, looks full of promise for not
only a large but also a very good cut
in roses. These include Lady Hilling-
don, Melody, Canadian Queen, which
he cuts with stems three and four
feet long, Killarney and American
Beauties. The large range of older
houses is planted for summer Beau-
ties. One large house is entirely de-
voted to Adiantum cuneatum and
Croweanum and there are many houses
of chrysanthemums from a "Baby" or
pompon to show blooms. Carnations
will be a little late, just about as last
year, but with some varieties such as
White Wonder having stems two feet
long already.

Robert Klagge, his neighbor, is a
master in rose-growing and there are
splendid looking houses of Rhea Reid,
La Detroit, Kaiserin, Killarney, Mary-
land, Maman Cochet and Mrs. Aaron
Ward. His carnations are simply ex-
quisite and some of them planted last
May have stems 2% feet and longer.
The varieties grown comprise: Pink
Delight, Enchantress, Winsor and
Mayday. Mr. Klagge has his own cold
storage place and no less than 600,000
bulbs have been planted this fall.
Lilium lancifolium and Lilium longi-
florum are principal among them. Lily
of the valley is also grown in quan-
tity. —

DURING RECESS.

R. J. Irwin

the age of fifteen years, being em-
ployed in the greenhouses doing gen-
eral work. In 1893, with the desire of
learning the seed and bulb business,
he entered the employ of J. M. Thor-
burn Co., New York City, where he
staved for seven years, working him-
self up to a salesmanship and then
accepted a position with Vaughan's
Seed Store, New York, as traveling
salesman, holding this position for the
ensuing seven years. In 1907 he be-
came connected with the H. H. Ber-
ger Co.. New York, acquiring an in-
terest in that concern. During the fall
of 1908, he started in business with
Mr. S. S. Skidelsky, under the name of
Skidelsky & Irwin Co., Philadelphia,
with which concern he has just sev-
ered his connection.

We extend best wishes for the suc-
cess of the new business.

CONSTRUCTION AND COST OF
CHIMNEY.

For my new houses I have to build
a new heating plant, with a chimney
of about two feet inside diameter, and
about thirty to fifty feet high. Which
is the best, an iron, brick or cement
chimney, and what is the difference in
in ices of material and construction?

F. S.

It would be almost impossible to
give any satisfactory answer to an in-
quiry so indefinite in its terms but as
near as I can get to it, a brick chim-
ney such as your subscriber wants
would cost about $200, and an iron one
of the same size $150. On a cement
chimney I could not approximate any
figures." The only party I know of that
has a cement chimney is E. G. Hill
ALEX MONTGOMERY.

Cincinnati Bowling Club.

ute to his faithful work in the interest
of the game. Among the prizes offered

Marechal Niel, and $15 for a new yel-
low carnation, and we learn that the

JTTThe word "Sincere" literally
^u means 'without wax" and
originated in olden times when
wax was used to cover defects
in pottery. Whenever a piece
of pottery was genuine or free
from deception it was said to
be "sincere". Horseshoe
Brand Giganteum are sincere
bulbs because there is no de-
ception in their makeup or
marketing. They are grown
by experienced lily growers,
not amateurs ; cultivated and
fertilized very carefully ; graded
in sizes and quality ; packed
properly and shipped after they
are fully matured. Everything
done to promote quality that
we know of. it is only natural
as a consequence of this extra
care that Horseshoe Brand
Giganteum cost a little more
than most brands . and to off-
set this extra cost they are
worth in flowering value all
and more than you pay for
them. It's the old story of the
cheap and the high - priced
chisel — ask the carpenter, the
man who knows chisel values,
which he buys. Same in the

Crop Report from Copenhagen.

Hjalmar Harttrtann & Co. report un-
der date of September 25, as follows:

Cauliflower. The prospects are for
a good middle crop. If the weather had
not been continually dry in July and
August the crop would have been
abundant.

Cabbage, white and red. The pros-
pects are for a fair crop. Wintering
was very favorable owing to the mild
winter and practical absence of frost,
so that only 5 to 10 per cent of the
late cabbages and about 20 per cent,
of the early cabbages were lost. The
fine spring and good weather in April
and May contributed to this favorable
result and except in some places where
green lice infected the flowering in
May, the growth until the ripening
was very good. "Copenhagen Market"
proves to be only a very poor yielder,
as owing to its smoothness and fine
quality of heads these are inclined to
rot. The general condition of heads
for planting for 1912 crop is middle.
The plants have suffered through
drought and attacks of worms.

Turnips and Swedes. Crop very
good.

Mangolds. Crop middle but prices
«xceedingly high owing to failure in
Germany.

Carrots. Crop short.

Grass seed. Dactylis glomorata,
Festuca pratensis and Poa trivialis,
•crop very good and fine qualities;
prices high.

Denmark has a large demand for
•cabbage heads this year as German
•customers pay 2 cts. per lb. for the
same or 10 cents per head. To produce
1 lb. of seeds needs ten heads, on an
average. Consequently the stock for
growing 1912 seeds approximates about
$1 per lb. already, and there must be
added to this growing costs for one
.year. Wherefore, the crop of 1912 will
certainly be scarce, and of named
crop there will be only seeds to sell of
this year's production provided same
mot contracted for in advance.

Against Free Seeds.

The paternal interest of the congress-
mien in their constituents, as manifested by
the distributing of free vegetable and
flower seeds', does not seem to be truly

Strange to say the president "f this in-

to include a campaign for abolition of

Cincinnati, O. — D. Rusconi, dealer
in bulbs and plants, 128 West Sixth

examination of the safe showed the
contents intact.

Boston, Mass. — Julius A. Zinn re-
ports that business is exceptionally

Penn. of Bromfield street, is also
unusually busy this week and judging
from the air of hustle in and about
his remodelled store the flower busi-
ness of Boston is in a very healthy
state for so early in the season.

AN UP-TO-DATE RIBBON HOUSE.

When you say "ribbons" yon th nk
of Wertheimer, don't you? It is rare-
ly that one visits that busy place on
Broadway. New York, that he is not
shown something new, something bet-
ter for the florists' special use than
was ever offered before. Calling on
them a few days ago we were shown
two beautiful new productions — "Sil-
verine" ribbon, silver in effect and
tarnish-proof, and "Autumn-leaf" rib-
bon in all autumn tints, especially ap-
propriate for use during the next few
weeks. Then there's a radically new
chiffon, pattern 891, which as soon as
it is let out promises to be the talk
of the retail trade. Write and ask,
"What is it?"

We were much interested in the
many devices for encouraging the
wearing of corsage flowers by ladies.
It is no small service these brothers
are doing for the florist trade — espe-
cially the growers of rare and high-
class flowers — in making possible a
revival of the time-honored fashion of
decking the gown with fresh flowers,
without injury to the fabric. Some
criticism was made over the award
by the S. A. F. of certificates of merit
j in the florists' supply department at
Baltimore, but there are several stand-
points from which to consider these
things and we can see how in award-
ing certificates to Wertheimer's cor-
sagette and "Werbro" corsage shields
the judges didn't go so very far wrong
even from the point of view of the
flower grower. The corsage shields are
transparent celluloid cut into proper
shape and with apertures for the in-
sertion of pin and ribbon. The cor-
sagettes are dainty, lacey things and
are provided in all colors, to match
dress, etc. There are no less than
fifteen different new styles of corsage
ribbon of indestructible waterproof
material and your lady customers only
need, like the man from Missouri, to
be shown.

tober 12 — we shall go to press on
Wednesday and consequently all news
matter, advertisements, etc.. intended
for that week's issue should be mailed
one day earlier than usual.

CINCINNATI NOTES.

Geo. Mack, who was seriously ill, is
reported as much better.

Harry Sunderhaus is now with C.
E. Critchell's clerical force.

E. G. Gillett and E. A. Foster went
to New Castle, Ind., on Tuesday.

J. Chas. and Louis Murphy lost their
father by death last week. They have
the sincerest sympathy of their many
friends.

Bloomhurst Floral Co. are cutting a
most excellent crop of Tafts. This
rose has surely demonstrated that it
is the best summer pink rose on the
market.

I he Flower Show Committee have,
iii addition to their own efforts, the CO-
co-operation of the Cincinnati Conven-
tion Association, and the many rail-
roads running in all directions from
this city. The committeemen are very
confident of the success of the affair
and feel that all that is necessary now
to make it a success is the coming
out in force of exhibitors, for the
crowd and money is assured. Adver-
tising matter is being put out as fast
as it leaves the press.

THE NEW BREITMEYER STORE.
Following a cordial invitation of Mr.
Breitmeyer many of the Detroit flor-
ists availed themselves to visit and in-
spect his new store with their wives.
The store proper is entirely fireproof
and measures 44 feet wide, 73 feet 5
inches long, with a conservatory of
the same width and 37 feet 9 inches
long extending back to the alley. A
full sized basement gives still more
room for working and the storing of
the many things which make up his
full compliment of an up-to-date store.
Xo expense has been spared to make
the store attractive and practical to
turn out big work in a short time. The
store is occupied now but the official
opening will be Saturday, Oct. 7.

Flower Market Reports

The present wool; seems
BOSTON like an old fashioned re-
\i\;il in the Bower
trade- in Boston market. 'I'ln- rei
have shortened up in quantity, especi-
ally on garden stot k, and a good clear
field is left for anyone having a
present crop of nice indoor material of
any sort. This is not likely to be a
verj permanent condition, though, as
the chrysanthemum inclusion will
make short work of it as soon as it
begins in earnest. Roses and carna-
tions are doing finely this week. Cat-
tleyas are having the advantage of a
busy market, and although coming in
with great rapidity the supply is nice-
ly absorbed. Violets begin to make
an impression. They are single
varieties as a rule, and quality is ex-
cellent for so early a date

Fifteen rainy days in
CHICAGO the month of September
naturally made the
trade anticipate a change with the
coming in of October. So far, how-
ever, they have been disappointed and
the retailer especially is finding trade
business very dull in consequence.
The wholesaler who has a shipping
trade is not affected by the rain ex-
cept in the quality of his stock, which
is about up to an average year, not-
withstanding. Carnations are not com-
ing in quite as strong as when
brighter weather prevails, but many
excellent ones are seen. Beauties are
fast going off crop at some of the
houses. There is a good demand for
them and none go to waste. Killar-
neys are excellent and the supply cov-
ers all lengths. Melody shows up a
deep yellow in spite of the dark days
and those who are trying this rose
seem well satisfied with its behavior.
Chrysanthemums are last becoming
queen of the day. October Frost,
Golden Glow and Smith's Triumph are
the three varieties now in, with the
yellows outselling the white. Asters
are not considered a very good com-
modity now, though good ones usually
find sale. Dahlias packed in special
boxes make fine counter display, but
are not general favorites with the
trade. As if the wholesalers did not
have enough troubles of their own, as-
ters are now coming in from Massa-
chusetts (?). With the abundance of
white chrysanthemums now in the
market asters are not selling particu-
larly well and the quality of the east-
ern stock Is not in the "fancy" class.

As the cooler weath-
CINCINNATI. er approaches the

market approaches
the busy season aspect. Roses
and carnations rather than asters
and gladioli are the popular blooms.
The season of the latter two has
been somewhat different than in
the past. Both came in later than
usual and at first brought the very
highest prices. Then early asters soon
were in a glut. This glut lasted through
mid-season, until the late ones came
in. These were in larger quantities
than ever before and naturally
brought only bottom prices. The glad-
ioli held at their high prices for a time
and soon were glutted and remained
that way, off and on, for the balance
of the season. Roses of all kinds are
in strong supply and while last week
the demand was erratic, this week, up

Flower Market Reports,

(Continued from fia?e ;<x))

pert underglass growers tiave at the
same time become more expert in the
production of early crops. With such
a congestion as prevailed here last
week it could hardly be expected that
any great change for the better could
come so long as heavy, killing frosts
hold off. Yet the unexpected has
happened, and there is a sudden
clamor on all sides which has put joy
into the hearts of the grower and
stiffness into the wholesaler's back-
bone. Hope it will last a little while.
There was a
PHILADELPHIA distinctly im-
proved tone to
the market here last week. Business
has really set in at last. Stocks con-
tinue plentiful in nearly all lines, and
on the whole are of excellent quality.
We have not seen the dahlia in better
shape than it has been this year, and
they have sold surprisingly well. The
asters suffered from the drought early
in the season, and the fall rains did
not come in time for them tas they
did for the dahlias), so that the qual-
ity of the crop was below previous
standards. Polly Rose has made its
appearance, and this with the two pre-
vious varieties, Golden Glow and
Montmort, gives enough variety to
make them a factor. These have been
going in many cases where choice
stock was required, in place of Ameri-
can Beauty roses which have been
rather scarce the past week. Heavy
supplies are arriving of cattleyas,
dendrobiums and oncidiums. The de-
mand is rather spasmodic, and the
price tendency is much in favor of the
buyer. Gardenias have ceased for the
time being. Heavy arrivals of lily of
the valley of most excellent quality.
Cosmos now at its best. Bouvardia
is in.

The between-season
PROVIDENCE lull was never more

strikingly felt than
during the past week and the market
has been practically dead. Very fine
roses are now being shown and the
prices range from $10 to $12. Carna-
tions stiffened in price the middle of
the week with a strong demand. The
supply is short and quality fair, choice
flowers bringing as high as $2.50 per
100. The chrysanthemums, although
very limited in quantity, have been
of fine quality for the early season.
The better grades are bringing from
$2 to $:! per dozen. Violets have been
coming rather slow and the quality
has not been such as to excite trad-
ing in this particular line. Asters

have bid farewell and the market is
bare.

The flower market last

ST. LOUIS week was quite good
in both demand and
consignments. Some of our leading
retailers say that they expect the busi-
ness to improve daily from now on
and that this week there have been
a lot of orders booked for work of all
kinds. What should be of some help
to all in the trade is that the market
affords most anything the buyer
wants and reasonable prices. There
are very few asters. Gladioli and tube-
rose stalks are still coming in but the
season on them is about ended.

Stock was very

WASHINGTON plentiful in the
local market last
week, so much so that the demand
was great enough to allow of the dis-
posal of all offered. The latter part of
the week was somewhat livelier than
has been the case lately, due in part
to cooler weather. Roses are im-
proving in quality but the output
greatly exceeds the demand. Cattle-
yas remain about the same. Greens
are moving well and the prospects
for increased sales look good. Early
yellow chrysanthemums (Golden Glow)
seem to be at an end, and the early
white ones have not as yet made
their appearance in any great quanti-
ties. Carnations are improving in
quality. The public seem to be shy
on the reds as this color moves much
more slowly than the other varieties.
Dahlias are more plentiful, but there
is much poor stock among the ship-
ments. Cosmos is plentiful, but does
not sell well. Business in the Center
Market the latter part of last week
showed a slight increase. A. S. Burns
& Co., of Spring Valley. N. Y., are
shipping some exceptionally good lines
into this market.

Monday, has been postponed to Octo-
ber 16th, a scarcity of flowers being
responsible for the change at the last
minute. With the exception of roses
there is very little on the market and
the growers decided that it was use-
less for them to attempt to start the
new project unless they had sufficient
stock to make a good showing. The
sale of the stalls was opened last
Saturday afternoon with W. E. Chap-
pell, Secretary of the Florists' and
Gardeners' Club, as auctioneer. There
are 28 stalls completed and the rental
fee was fixed at $52 per annum, pay-
able in advance. A premium of $21
was paid by O. H. Williams & Sons
for the first choice. The bidding at
first was brisk, but soon ceased and
the minimum was reached at $3.

The purchasers of stalls were: O.
H. Williams & Sons, Wm. Hoffman, F.
Macrae & Sons, W. S. Nichol, Geo.
Jansen, J. A. Macrae, Burke Rose Co.,
Inc., G. H. Cushing, H. A. Burlingame,
Jos. Kopelman & Co., Albert Holscher,
E. E. King and John Marshall.

Four applications have been made
for the position of manager. The mar-
ket will be open from 7 a. m. to 5
p. m.

BOSTON MARKET NOTES.

George McAlpine who started rose-
growing at Exeter, N. H., early this
year, is already cutting some fine
stock.

William Patterson of Wollaston,
Mass., has an excellent supply of the
hardy chrysanthemum Brown Betty,
which has been especially popular with
the trade in this vicinity.

A. Leuthy, proprietor of Perkins
Street Nursery, Roslindale, Mass., has
just received a shipment of over 20,000
azaleas and among them are many
novelties that will be shown for exhi-
bition purposes this year, and which
will later be offered to the trade. He
also states that the kentias he has
received are about the best he has
ever placed upon the market.

The Answer To Your Questions

THE palm house is 20 * 22 and the wing
house at the rear out of sight is 20 X 25.
It's iron frame construction, just as you
thought. Yes it is mighty attractive.
Now that we have answered your questions,
let us ask just one ; are you thinking of building ?
That's good. We are glad to hear it.

That means you will want our new catalog right
away and as soon as you can get things lined
up you will want to see some one of us and talk
things over.

Better have us come right to your grounds and
look over the location. That's by far the most
satisfactory way.

LILIUM HARRISII

Tt-ie Bermuda Eas"tc?r l_ily

I— ET US supply youir \Afart-fcs in Lilies -this season

We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving It in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 Inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersonl, 6-in. pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Plersoni, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 8-ln. plants $1.00 to 1.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 10-ln. plants 2.50 each

SWEET PEAS as 1912

XT O \T *|* D — 'll* M. "The moit brilliant iridescent scarlet

New Spencer, Vermilion Brilliant sPencervetProdU«dr

This genuine noveltv, which baa been much admired both at our P'ordhook Farms In Penn-
sylvania and Floradale Farm In California, as well as in Great Britain, originated with onr friend,
Mr, HUGH DICKSON, of Newtonards. County Down, Ireland, who wrote: "After most careful,
critical comparison with every scarlet Spencer we could procure. Including several new seedlings

selections not yet introduced, VERMILION BRILLIANT stood out so prominently that we
offer it with every confidence of confirmation by :ill Sweet Pea planters as the most iiriiiin.it.
Iridescent scarlet Spencer yet produced."

\r »|; R_;ii;~,-» produces vines Unit tire strong, short Jointed and very floriferotis,

Vermilion Drllliani gearing on rtont stems, twelve to fifteen Inches in length, three
tlcallj placed flowers When well grown the plants are noteworthy In that, unlike
all other Bcarlel Spencers, the stems frequently produce FOURS.

The flowers are of perfect form. The bold, erect standard is well waved and fluted In true
Spencer style, of large size, beautifully rounded and finishing well below the keel. The wings
are of the same Intense pure scarlet as the standard, making a uniform self-color throughout and
absolutely sunproof. For exhibition or garden decoration we are confident that this sterling
novelty will take a prominent and lasting place In the esteem of all lovers, growers and ex-
hibitors of Sweet Peas.

In sealed packets containing twelve B Is each: Per pkt. lor.: $1.00 per dozen pkts.; $7.00

per 100 pkts. In lots of 500 packets or more, $6.26 per 100 pkts. . i fable word, VERMILION.)

VERMILION BRILLIANT was awarded the Silver Tup given by the Philadelphia North
American .it the National Sweet Pea Society's Show in Philadelphia, June 2D and 30, 1911, for
the best variety not yet In commerce.

D -1 /"• __ C__-,_-_ PEARL -OKAY is truly a descriptive name. The nearsst to

I.ady Nlnn Balfour. It is certainly a most lovely and distinct shade that might be described as
a pearl or dove-gray, suffused with light rose, showing a trifle more of the delicate rose shad-
ing in the standard. The flowers, borne in clusters of three and four, are of the largest size
and uniformly of true Spencer type, being well waved in both standard and wings. In sealed
packets of same sizes and at same prices as VERMILION BRILLIANT.

standard and wings, — a lovely rich lilac, flushed with pink, which gives a very distinct and soft
tone throughout the entire flower. Of finest Spencer type, waved in both standard and wings,
the flowers are of large size and well placed on long stems. Throughout the season, even during
the extreme heat and drought of July, the flowers came invariably three and four to a stem.
Manv Sweel Pea enthusiasts pronounced this, — next to Vermilion Brilliant, — to be the finest nav-
elty in our trials at FORDHOOK FARMS the past season. It was certificated by the National
Sweet Pea Society of America. June 29, 1911.

A Distinct Type of Sweet Peas for 1912

The New " Duplex Spencer " Sweet Pea

The "Best of All" Pink Sweet Peas for Bouquets

« r.,,—1— _ » This is different from former so-called double Sweet Peas. It has persisted for

l^upICX. four years In giving a large percentage of I louble-standard flowers. They are

produced on almost every plant — four-bloom sprays triving two and sometimes three of the flawers
double, and smaller sprays in same proportion. The twin or triple standards are well placed, so
that the tlowers have no appearance of coarseness. The color is a rich cream-pink. When
bunched it is most effective, the effectiveness being enhanced by the bright lemon keel appearing
to greal advantage. It is an extra strong grower and we are certain it will take rank at the
very top as a market variety, besides being lit for any first-prize stand. Messrs. Lowe & Shawyer,
Ltd., of t xbrldge, England, who had an advance trial, say it is "the best pink Sweet Pea we
grown on our place." — Description of Messrs. DOBBIB .v. CO., with whom this sterling
No\Ht> originated.

New Sweet Pea, — " Rainbow Spencer "

In this striking novelty we have a greal advance in the striped section. The flowers are of
proportions, generally produced three and tour on a stem. They are nicely placed, with
wing! well up in front of the standard: In fact, the flower proportions are perfect. The

ground color is lvorv-wbite. flaked and lightly streaked with rose. The flowers are magnifi-

bta in a good lighl turfy loam three parts, well-
rotted COW manure one part. See that pots are well
drained with potsherds, so that the water may pass off
readily. Place them in a warm and sunn} house on a
bench close to the glass, and resume regular waterings
wnli overhead sprinklings. Give them a steady temper-
ature of from (iO to 65 degrees with plenty of moisture
as active growth starts. When the plants are in full
leaf they will want a plentiful supply of water at the
roots and any neglect at this stage will greatly impair
their growth. When the pots are filled with mots they
will he benefited by a frequent supply of manure water
— that is, not too strong. It takes from eight to ten
weeks from the time new growth begins to push forth
until the flowers are at their perfection, ami with good
treatment they will last in good condition for three or
four weeks.

A.RDISIA8

Give these plants a plan where they will have plenty
of sunlight which will give the berries a good bright
tint. Go over your plants frequently and turn them
around so as to keep them in a well balanced shape. Give
water as soon as the ball of roots shows a sign of dry-
ness, for the supply of water must '"■ regulated accord-
ing to the demands of the plants to ensure healthy root
action. Not* with the increased fire heat and very
changeable and trying weather from this out, keep up
constant watchfulness in damping, ventilating and
watering. A temperature of 55 degrees is about right
Eor all those plants that have a good size to their herries.
Too great a heat i- verj liable to prematurely force out
a new growth, which would he undesirable. Keep a
watchful eye for scale and mealy hug.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR EXHIBITION

The height of the chrysanthemum season is now ap-
ning. Keep your plants cool, for heat is not de-
Birable or rational in any stage of their culture. The
purpose of fire heat is to prevent the temperature from
dropping below 45 degrees and to keep the air from be-
coming too moist. When your flowers are coming out
use a movable light shade on very bright days. It will
help to keep the temperature from running up too high,
and w:ill be of especial service for advance crop of flow-
ing them from getting burned, bleached or
otherwise damaged from too bright sunshine. Use great
care in watering now- so Qol to have any more mois-
among the plants than is necessary, (b' over the
benches early in the day and carefully examine the con-
dition of the soil and only apply water where needed.
ing should cease i i as the flowers are

expand lor, for when feeding is car-

Q too long the i' will lie of poor quality with

soft petals and as a lacking in substance. Keep

frosty nights by turning on
during the night a littli heat. Keep your plants free
from aphis so as to get highly finished flowers.

"f.l I \ S

N~"w is a suitable time to lift plants of Campanula
Media and its sub-variety calycanthema. The plants
that are lifted and potted now have a chance to make
new roots before the winter sets in. which also makes

them better for .icing. Pot them into 5, 6 or 7-inch

pots,*or whati will hold the roots. They like a

rich soil to grow m. say turfy loam three parts, and

manure one part. Press the soil around the plants

firmly and em a good watering and place in a

an be shaded and sprayed for a few

in order to counteract anj wilting until they are

i ii -tay here until sharp frost, when

plenty of light and forced very slowly. These plants

should never be started until about the new year and

then in a temperature of 50 degrees at night.

LORRAINE BEGONIAS

Keep these plants in shape now by giving them sup-
ports in the way of stakes. Small wire cut into the
right length and painted green will be just the thing.
Attend well to the temperature now by ventilating so
as to avoid any cold draughts, but still so as to provide
a proper circulation of fresh air. Plants will now be
advancing very rapidly and should be examined each
day to see which ones need watering, as some will re-
quire a more liberal supply than others. By going over
them this way you will never have plants in a saturated
condition or others that are very dry. See that the
plants are placed now and then so as to give them more
space and so thai all sides can re© ive an equal amount
of light and air. 'I host that have their pots well filled
with roots will stand weak liquid manure once or twice
a week, which will prove very helpful. Plants that are
now coming on for the holiday trade should have a tem-
perature of about 60 degrees, but when they are in full
bloom 50 to 55 degrees will give the plants and flowers
more substance.

PLANTING LILIES OUTSIDE

Those who intend to make or replant a lily bed should
commence now. Throw out the soil to the depth of 14
or 16 inches, and then place a 6-inch layer of sand and
leaf mold on the bottom; this will provide good drain-
age and help to keep the roots cool in summer. On this
you can place enough of good loam and very old ma-
nure, so as to have your bulbs set six inches deep and
twelve inches apart. When planting the bulbs, always
place an inch of sand both above and below the lily bulb,
which will keep any manure from coming in contact
with it and also prevent any stagnant moisture around
the roots. After placing the bulbs it is very important
that the soil you use above be made very rich, as they
emit roots along the stem above the bulb. This explains
why lilies often suffer so much in summer from
drought, because these roots are coming so near the sur-
face. Before the ground freezes hard give them a mulch
of three or four inches of foresl haves and about three
inches rig manure, which will keep the leaves

from '"mil' blown away. The following can be Tecom-
m ama! urn in variety, L. Bate-
manni. L. candidum, L. elegans in variety, L. gigan-

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB.
The Chicago Florists' Club celebrated
its silver anniversary Thursday, Oct.
fl the event went on record as one
o'f the best times ever enjoyed by the
club since its organization a quarter
of a century ago. President Philpott
quickly despatched I lie routine busi-
ness. After the business meeting,
136 guests, members, their wives
and sweethearts, sat down to a
banquet, which was enjoyed by
all. At its close, President Philpott
introduced F. Bentley. oldest living
past president of the club, who, with
his usual happy faculty of expressing
himself, entertained the club and
called on the various speakers to re-
spond to the toasts. J, C. Vaughan,
W. N. Rudd. Geo. Asmus, A. C. Kohl-
brand and Phil Foley were among the
representatives of the Chicago club to
be called upon, while President Wind-
ier, of the St. Louis club, and H. Bals-
ley, of the Detroit club, made fitting
remarks of congratulation. In behalf
of the Milwaukee Florist Club, Presi-
dent Hunkle presented the Chicago
club with a large and handsome silver
loving cup, taking the latter club com-
pletely by surprise, but who keenly
appreciate this token of their regard.

The men who are to handle the
meeting of the Society of American
Florists in Chicago in 1912 are ap-
pointed and will begin at once to plan
for that event. Twenty-five years ago
the society was entertained here in a
way that has not been forgotten, and
those in charge for the silver anniver-
sary of that event will try to make
the coming meeting no less of a suc-
cess.

H. N. -Bruns heads the executive
committee, with H. E. Philpott, A. C.
Kohlbrand, A. Ringier, A. Henderson,

E. C. Amling, M. Barker, E. F. Win-
terson, P. J. Foley, A. T. Pyfer and

F. Lautenschlager able assistants.

A. C. Kohlbrand is chairman of the
entertainment committee, A. Hender-
son of souvenir album, H.' E. Philpott,
finance; Arnold Ringier, reception;
M. Barker, press and advertising;
Louis Wittbold, decorations; Fred
Lautenschlager, allied trades; E. F.
Winterson, sports; P. J. Foley, trea-
surer; E. C. Amling, badge; A. T.
Pyfer, hotel.

BUFFALO FLORISTS' CLUB.

At the last regular meeting of the
Buffalo Florists' Club a good turnout
was seen, the weather being cooler and
the boys being more inclined to attend
meetings. Business of importance
was transacted, and as there will be
no flower show this fall, it was decided
to hold an open night in November, at
which there will be an exhibition and
a general good time to follow. A com-
mittee was appointed to report at the
meeting. The bowling committee re-
port that they will begin the fall and
winter season of bowling in a short
time, and that this season should turn
out some champion bowlers. Much in-
terest has been taken so far, and the
able Jos. Streit is steadily taking ap-
plications for new members.

GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS'
CLUB OF BOSTON.

The next regular meeting of the
club will be held at Horticultural Hall
on Tuesday evening, Oct. 17, at 8
o'clock. There will be talks on bulbs
for forcing, bedding and naturalizing
by Messrs. Wm. Patterson, Robert
Cameron, John G. Duguid and others,
which should prove timely and inter-
esting.

Exhibits of early chrysanthemums
and other flowers are promised and
the exhibits table will be unusually
attractive. Eight new members were
added at the last meeting and there
will be a considerable further addi-
tion on Oct. 17. A cordial invitation
is extended to all lovers of bulbous
flowers to attend this meeting. It
makes no difference whether they are
club members or not, they will be
made heartily welcome. A few more
names sent in for the landscape gar-
dening class will enable its being
started at once.

W. N. CRAIG, Secretary.

NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB.

The October meeting of this organi-
zation last Monday night was well
attended and proved to be so inter-
esting that it was close to the mid-
night hour before it disbanded. After
the usual routine business J. Austin
Shaw announced that the next meet-
ing would he Ladies' Night, on which
occasion J. Otto Thilow of Dreer's,
Philadelphia, would give an illustrated
lecture on "His Travels in the West."
Election of officers would be the prin-
cipal business at the December meet-
ing. For the meetings of the new
year, R. Vincent, Jr., on "Experiences
in Dixie;" H. A. Bunyard on "Sweet
Peas," and Geo. V. Nash on the
"Apple Industry in the West," will
severally be heard.

A discussion on the all-important
question of efficient greenhouse help
and adequate pay was precipitated by
some remarks by Charles Lenker, who
asserted with truth that "we cannot
all be captains of industry." J. K. M.
L. Farquhar called attention to the
fact that labor conditions had greatly
changed in twenty-five years. The
standard in England, from which, ne
said, some of our best gardeners had
come is not now what it was a genera-
tion ago. W. A. Manda and C. H.
Totty followed, the latter pertinently
inquiring, "What can you expect for
nine shillings a week?"

J. Austin Shaw, A. L. Miller and
J. A. Manda were appointed a commit-
tee on the death of I. L. Powell.

Secretary Young made some elo-
quent and very appreciative remarks
in gratitude for the club s part in elect-
ing him secretary of the S. A. F. at
Baltimore. $10 a month was voted for
the use of the bowling club. .1. K. M.
L. Farquhar was the lecturer of the
evening, his subject being The Horti-
cultural Outlook. The paper appears
on another page of this issue. Charles
Schenck and Patrick O'Mara then en-
tertained the members with accounts
of their observations horticulturally
during their recent trips abroad.

C. H. Totty exhibited for E. G. Hill
Co. a vase of magnificent blooms of
the new rose Sunburst. It was award-
ed 89 points. W. A. Manda was given
special mention for seedling dahlias.
H. F. Michell Co. and Chas. Lenker
also showed dahlias of merit and Bud-
dleias from Michell were especially ad-
mired.

HUNTINGTON HORTICULTURAL
AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The ninth annual exhibition of the
Huntington (N. Y.) Horticultural and
Agricultural Society was held Sept.
29 and 30. The exhibition was of good
quality throughout. The leading
features were dahlias and apples, the
latter being abundant and fine. W. J.
Matheson, James Kirby, gardener, was
the largest exhibitor of dahlias, with a
fine collection of newer varieties, cap-
turing first for collection, first for
double, and the Stafford cup for 12
varieties. R. R. Conklin, E. S. Smith,
gardener, also exhibited a fine collec-
tion, winning second for collection and
first for single.

THE HORTICULTURAL OUTLOOK

An Address by J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Boston, Delivered Before the New York Florists' Club, October 9, 1911.

Retrospect.

In Looking backward thirty years or

more one is very torciblj impressed

with Uic advancement made in nearly

every depaitment oi' horticulture. Any

ampliflcati i this statement would

be superfluous to this audience; lather
would 1 speak briefly of some of the
agencies which have been working for
the unprecedented progress of the past
ten years or so.

Agencies of Advancement.

Foremost of these agencies I place
the automobile, which of itself has
been the means of greatly changing
the habits of the American people.
The limit of suburban residence has ex-
tended fiom about twenty miles to a
hundred, and the houses and grounds
have increased in importance and area
in like proportion.

The larger country estate is of
greater interest than was the smaller
one, and the time-saving automobile
gives the owner more time in which
to enjoy it, and, furthermore, having
his own comfoi table and eve:-ready
means of transportation, he goes to it
earlier in the season and stays later
than formerly, when his sojourn in the
country depended upon railroad time-
tables.

Tne telephone, the electric lamp,
and recent inventions for water supply
and heating have all contributed to
make life on the country estate much
more enjoyable than in the immediate
environment of the large city, where
only such comforts and conveniences
of life as were obtainable in the cities
themselves could be had formerly.

The automobile, too, has lessened
the owner's interest in horses; the time
and much of the money spent on
horses are now frequently bestowed on
the garden and grounds.

Another agency has been the period-
ical press, which, with beautiful illus-
trations, has done much to arouse and
develop interest in gardening. The
articles published have been incentives
to many to make their home grounds
beautiful as well as to lead them to
give attention to providing home sup-
plies of flowers, fruits and vegetables,
lather than to depend upon city mar-
kets, as in the past.

T might mention many other agen-
cies which have been instrumental in
bringing so many of our people to a
greater appreciation of, and interest in
horticulture, but I content myself with
calling attention to the influence of the
country clubs. Not only have the
social influence and health-giving
recreations of these insti utions proved
beneficial, but the well-kept fair-
greens and putting-greens have led
many a country clubman to imp ove
his own lawn and grounds.

Wealth and Travel.

Millionaires and multi-millionaires
are much more numerous now than
they were a generation ago. Luxuries
to them are now necessities, and hor-
ticulture has its share in supplying
them. They have traveled abroad

where Hey have seen things which
have appealed to them, pictures,
sculptures and other works of art,
great bouses with rich and laie fur-
nishings and line old gardens, with
beautiful trees, shrubs, vines and
Bowers — and they want them all. The
gardens give us our opportunity; op-
portunity many times greater now
1 1 an ever before in this country;
opportunity greater in this than in
any other country; opportunity greater
than we tealize and which will grow
beyond our most sanguine expecta-
tions if we horticulturists to whom it
comes do our part. To be successful
we must seek success, not alone for
ourselves but for our clients as well,
and I shall aim to point out, br.efly,
how each one of us in his own par-
ticular branch may cultivate and
propagate this present phenomenal
propensity of our people for gardens
and garden things.

The Private Gardener.
To the private gardener I would say:
Make youiself master of your calling.
If possible specialize in some branch
cf it; it will distinguish you to do so,
just as it distinguishes a physician to
specialize in some department of
medical science. Like him, you are
teally a scientific man; your calling
makes you one. Yours is a long train-
ing, in fact it is never done; but let
not that fact discourage you. Not only
should you learn to till the ground,
how to produce crops of flowers, fruits
and vegetables, both under glass and
ott of doois, how to use, understand-
ing^-, fertilize! s, fungicides and in-
secticides, how to lay-out, make and
plant a garden, from shade trees to
water lily, how to build drains, gar-
den walks and greenhouses, but a
hundred other things. Learn it all —
all the art of gardening — so far as is
possible, and then render to your em-
ployer the best service you can and in-
sist upon getting equitable compensa-
tion. The demand for men who are
gardeners of high grade was never so
large as it is now, and such men can
command good salaries. The great
trouble is that too many important
positions are held by incompetent men
who are willing to work for compensa-
tion which would not attract a capable
man.

You should endeavor to meet the
wishes of your employer. Have a
clear understanding with him as to
what he wishes, then let him know
that you must have a free hand in
your work for results. Regard your
garden and greenhouses as a manufac-
turer does his mill. Buy enough ma-
terial to keep your plant running at
full capacity, but do not buy anything
you do not need. Do not try to return
the favor of a nurseryman or seeds-
man who may have placed you in a
position by giving him an order for
supplies you do not actually require.
Study the interests and wishes of
your employer— he is entitled to con-
sideration and if he is the right sort
of man he will appreciate and recog-
nize your efforts.

The Florist.
To the florist, I would say: Broaden

business. There is opportunity
to do it and you will be obliged to do
it to prolong your success. Have you
ever tried to add to your customers
from among the middle classes?
Their trade is solicited when they are
in want of funeral pieces, but rarely
at any other time. Yet, I believe
there are thousands of people of
moderate means who would gladly

iip into a flower store on Saturday
and buy a dozen carnations, with a
little asparagus foliage, or a few fern
Ironds with which to brighten their
homes on Sunday and through the
week, if such trade were encouraged.
of course,- it would never do to sell to
such people flowers that were about
to go to sleep;. they would have to be
fresh and likely to keep good for sev-
eral days. The feeling that the street
vendor is the proper person to care
loi the middle class trade will bar
progress in this direction. The florist
should endeavor to diversify the at-
tractions he offers; comparatively llt-
tle is done with flowering plants in
pots. If the very dwarf antirrhinums
in pink, white, yellow, etc., were
planted in pans like tulips, they
would be much more attractive and
more lasting. Dwarf wallflowers
might be similarly used; not only
would they be novel and beautiful, but
their delightful, mild fragrance would
be appreciated. Small pots or pans of
forgetmenots, mignonette] sweet alys-
sum, rhodanthe, and numerous other
flowers might be tried at small ex-
pense.

You have still much greater oppor-
tunity to broaden your business.
Witflin a decade, or less, you will be
furnishing pot-grown fruit trees and
vines for dining room decoration.
Apples, pears, plums, peaches, with
from two dozen to half a hundred
choice fruits on a tree: pot-grown
grape vines, with half a dozen or over
clusters of luscious fruit. You may
even be selling in the spring or early
summer the fascinating little cherry
tree, in fruit, of the gay Parisian
cafes.

The Seedsman.

Every seedsman should endeavor to
educate his customers to the use of
high grade seeds and bulbs; he will
serve his own best interests in doing
this. He should push and encourage
the sale of the best varieties, and dis-
courage or discard those that have
been superseded.

It is but fair to the seedsman to
state that he has had to struggle
against adverse conditions. He has
been forced to compete with irrespon-
sible dealers who sold inferior seeds
or rubbish. It is safe to say that, on
the whole, the seedsman has never re-
ceived the return he has deserved in
this country— nothing like what his
brother dealer in Europe has received.
Compare the prices of the best Euro-
pean houses with those of any house
in this country! Conditions are bet-
ter than they were a dozen years ago —
quality is being appreciated more gen-
erally—but many buyers still hesitate
to pay a proper price for high grade
seeds.

This has been especially true of

Dutch bulbs \ ECeizerskroon tulip
weighing an ounce and a bait or an
ounce and three-quarters has been put
in competition with others weighing
from five-eighths to three-quarters of
an ounce. The seedsman cannot do
much tor the upbuilding of his busi-
ness by buying and selling the cheap-
est, meani to be, obtained. In
doing this he fools himself, Injures his
customer, and in the end loses his
trade. What I have said to the private
gardener about learning His calling ap-
plies still more forcibly to the seeds-
man, 'too many ien do not
know (heir busini Holland
bulb men are aware of this and are
still taking unfair advantage of the
situation. It is well known in Holland
that the favorite single blue Hyacinth
Charles Dickens has become so dete-
riorated bj di i that it is no longer
lit to be grown. Yet it is listed aud
sold to this country by the Holland
growers who usually send for it ".Ma-
rie," a cheap, inferior sort. We have
seen the beautiful pure white La
Grandesse substituted with La Fran-
chise, a blush sort having a purple
skinned bulb. Standard Silver and
Standard Gold tulips have also de-
teriorated, yet these are regularly list-
ed by man] seedsmen, who in most
cases receive substitutes such as Cot-
tage Boy, Arms of Leiden, or other
inferior sorts.

The Nurseryman.

Nurserymen, as a rule, nave been
progressive, more so, perhaps, than
those engaged in other lines of horti-
cultural industry. Still, there is much
for them to do. Too frequently they
are more anxious to sell stock than
to assure themselves thai the stock
sold will be well planted, that the
ground will be suitably prepared, and
that the after-care it receives will he
such that the purchasers' success with
it will bring the vendor future orders.
In the long run it would not hurt the
nurseryman to inform a client that
the cost of preparation of ground and
planting, if done properly, will equal
or exceed the cost of the stock. Great
ignorance prevails as to the conditions
under which nursery stock will
thrive, especially of the more common
shade trees, which are often planted
in gravel.

Nurserymen should endeavor to di-
versify plantations; there is ample
material with which to do this and
their clients would welcome the varie-
ty New material, too, is at hand and
the nurseryman has a thousand or
more new trees, shrubs and vines re-
cently brought from Western China
and elsewhere with which to augment
his already large variety of available
material.

Many of the nurserymen are mak-
ing better terms on their stock, or al-
lowing larger discounts to the so-
called landscape architects than they
do to private gardeners This prac-
tice is to be regretted. It puts the
gardener at a disadvantage, which is
unfair to him. Why should the so-
called landscape architect, who often
has no practical horticultural knowl-
edge, and. perhaps, nothing more than
a short course in drawing, and an-
other in reading Dowrning, Mawson,
and a few other authors for his stock
in trade — be accorded trade courtesies
which give him advantage over the

trained gardener who has spent fifteen
or twenty years of his life in acquir-
ing his practical k nowledge. Choose
ye this day whom ye will serve,
brother nurserymen; but as for me,
and my house, we will stand by the
gardener! I will not see him super-
seded and supplanted by a man much
his inferior in horticultural knowledge
and ability.

New York Horticulturists.

New York horticulturists: Yours is
the largest opportunity. You have the
wealth of the country about you. Y'ou
have the finest estates within a hun-
dred miles of your doors. It is your
duty to see that horticulture grows,
not only in your vicinity but also
throughout the country, for are you
not located on the country's greatest
thoroughfare? It is your duty to so
serve those who come to you that they
will be encouraged to become larger
patrons of horticulture; and if you do
this you will undoubtedly reap the
benefit.

You are planning to hold the third
National Flower Show in this city. If
you make the success of it of which
you are capable it will prove a great
Stimulus for horticultural trade in New
York. To do this you must get to work
at once. Y'our schi uld be out

not later than January 1. (let busy at
■ ii! this is your opportu-
nity.

TAXING POT PLANTS.

Springfield, O. — Backed by all the
local florists, the George H. Mellen
Company lias filed an injunction suit
to restrain the country treasurer from
collecting taxes to the amount of $250.
They raise the point that flowers taken
from the ground and placed in pots
should be classed as real estate instead
of personal property. The point is one
that will be watched with interest by
all florists.

WHITHER TENDING?

There are some who say that the
recent quarter centennial banquet of
I he Florists' Club of Philadelphia was a
big success because out of 149 present
there were 49 ladies. We are not find-
ing any fault either with the commit-
tee or the ladies, and nothing personal
is intended. The question is, how did
the banquet compare with similar
events of the past 25 years? Only
about one-third of the membership at-
tended and the missing majority em-
body some of the finest and most pro-
gressive brains in the business. Why
were they absent?

Banquets are organized as a rule
with some object. in view outside of
the "Eats" and the sociability. When
our forefathers blazed the way into
the wilderness they took their lives
into their hands. These were the men
who made our country. Are we come
to the pass now where the cigarettes
and the frou frous are to shape club
policy and aims and replace the men
of initiative, of courage and of far-
seeing business ability?

It would look that way, but it is
not really so. If. however, the Flor-
ists' Clubs let tin frou frous run them
(there are male as well as female
frou frous). there will be a galloping
consumption — and after that a chance
for a new and virile organism. "Whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad." As before said, there is noth-
ing personal in this. Our plea is for
the broader view of things, the more
tolerant spirit and the revival of the
old-time nerve and enthusiasm.

AMERICAN TOMATOES IN ENG-
LAND.

(Kroui report of Consul Charles N, liimlels.
Sheffield.)

A sample shipment of American
tomatoes was recently unpacked in
Sheffield and the fruit was found to
be in a very satisfactory condition.
Only one tomato showed any sign of a
bruise. The variety that appeared to
meet with the most favor was the
"Stone." The consignee stated that
the "Globe" and the "Buckeye" were
too large for the English market and
also showed some blemishes. Toma-
toes are usually eaten raw here or used
in salads, and more often than not are
served without peeling, so that a
smooth skinned tomato without blem-
ishes has the preference. Any mark,
as an insect sting or a crack that has
healed and left a seal is to lower

the grade of the tomato in the market.

The condition in which this ship-
ment arrived is proof that tomatoes
could be shipped to England from
Florida and find a market at seasons
of the year when the home-grown ar-
ticle is not plentiful. A tomato to suit
this market should run from 1% to 3
in. in diameter, should ripen to a good
color, have a smooth skin, and when
packed should be carefully graded, the
perfect ones being separated from
those showing even the slightest mark
on the skin. The mixing of the two
grades would result in the lowering of
the grade of the whole.

If a tomato like the "Stone." with
its firm pulp and fine flavor, could be
grown in size to suit this market,
there is no reason why it should not
find a ready sale. The condition in
which those sent arrived shows thai
thej will stand the transportation all
right. One of the partly ripe "Buck-
eyes" showed a tendency to rot before
the ripening was completed. Whether
this was due to some bruise received
in transportation or to the fact that it
was not cut at the right time is a
question. The proper stage at which
they should be cut could be deter-
mined by experiment. In the opinion
of the dealer it would be better to ship
them in tight boxes, thus keeping the
air away from them, rather than in
open crates. The fact that the
"Stone" tomatoes sent were each
wrapped in paper bears out this idea.
This close package is the one in use
by the French growers, and it is also
used by a firm shipping Canary toma-
toes. The Bordeaux shippers pack the
fruit in a flat paper-lined box without
wrapping the tomatoes si parately, but
the Canary tomatoes are each wrs
in paper and then packed in peat moss,
which is sent from England for thai
purpose. The dealer is inclined to
think that this paper v.
to ripen the fruit better.

There appears to be two kinds of the
"Stone," one inclined to be Hat and
the other longer and more pointed at
the blossom end. Thi
be better suited for this market. Both
kinds, however, appeared to stand
transportation equally as well. The
manager of the leading retail grocery
sampled the "Stone" and pronounced
it superior in every way to the Canary
tomatoes he handles. He added that if
this tomato could be grown in a size
to suit this market and could compete
with the Canary fruit in price, it would

undoubtedly find a stile, in fact he
stated thai he would give 11 the pref-
erence tor his own trade, whit
the best in the city.

BRITISH HORTICULTURE.
Another Batch of New Dahlias.
Some attractive dahlias were recent-
ly on view at the fortnights meeting
of the Royal Horticultural Society.
Notable amongst the good whites were
Mrs, Shoesmith, White Lady and
Snowdon. There were some lnt<
ing exhibits at the second show of i hi
National Dahlia Society, held at the
Royal Botanic Gardens, London. In
the nurserymen's classes, for three
vases of cactus dahlias, put into com-
merce for the first time in 1909-10,
Mrs. M V. Seale, of Seavenoaks, Kent,
was first with excellent vases of Prima
Donna. Mary PUrrier and Johannes-
burg. In the principal cactus class for
twelve bunches, six blooms of each
variety, Messrs. i. Stredwick iV Son.
of St. Leonards, Sussex, won premier
honors with Indomitable, Olympic,
Orion, Elite, Golden Wave, Miss Stred-
wick Uranus, Snowdon, Satisfaction,
Jupiter, Mrs. I). Fleming and H. H M.
Thomas. For six blooms of any one
show or fancy seedlings, Mr. S. Morti-
mer of Rowledge, Farnham, Surrey was
first with Edward Lee. a meritorlou
\ ariety of deep crimson tint. There wen
some fine samples of paeony flowered
dahlias, which are steadily increasing
in popularity. First-class certificates
were awarded to the following novel-
ties: Golden Wave, pure yellow
cactus, Frederick Wenham, apricot,
yellow centre. Sunlight, yellow, tinted
apricot, Messrs. J. Stredwick & Son;
Florrie Wells, pure red. shaded violet,
Mr. H. Shoesmith, Woking, Surrey;

Autumn Roses.
The autumn show of the National
Rose Society exceeded the anticipa-
tions of the promoters as regards the
quality. In the nurserymen's classes,
which were well filled, for :)6 distinct
varieties, the first prize fell to Messrs.
Hugh Dickson, of Royal Nurseries,
Belfast, who had some splendid sam-
ples of Mme. Joseph Courbet, Charles
J. Grahame, Hugh, Dickson and Leslie
Holland. Some pleasing effects were
produced in the class for a group of
roses arranged on the floor in a space
not exceeding 150 square feet. Mi

LOUISIANA AROUSED.
The State of Louisiana with many
million acres of now uncultivated but
highly productive soil, a mild climate
which permits a series of crops to
be grown on the same land each year,
and a net work of navigable canals
and streams which inures cheap

portation, will bid for the immi-
gration Canada is now getting from
the United States. In order to make
the bid most effective, a Louisiana
Agricultural Exhibit Commission has
lam appointed by the Governor, and
supplied with funds by the Parishes,
or Counties of the State, for the pur-
pose of gathering exhibits and data
concerning agricultural production,
cost and profits, health and market
conditions, character of soil and cli-
mate, etc., and thus equipped meet the
people of the North and West face to
face.

The Commission will demonstrate
that with only about 5,000,000 acres in
i ultivation out of 27,000,000 acres com-
prising the State, the people of Louis-

have prospered, her planters have
enjoyed wealth and affluence, and her
farmers have never known want. The
plantation or overlord system, is now
rapidly disappearing, and the great es-

are being sub-divided and culti-
vated by smaller independent farmers.

cut-over forests are being cleared
and opened up to settlement. The
wet alluvial lands are being drained
and made available to the plow. In
this manner new tracts of virgin lands
are being made available and the State
in its official capacity is taking t;mc
by the forelock, and is going after
farmer families to occupy these lands.
The first exhibit the Louisiana Com-
mission will give will be at the United

3 Land and Irrigation Exposition,
at Chicago, November 18 to December
9. Others will follow later. The ob-
ject of the Commission is to exhibit
average rather than abnormal prod-
ucts, so that the farmer seeking accu^
rate information may learn exactly
what the soils of Louisiana produce
under normal conditions. No land
will be sold at these exhibits, no pri-
vate enterprise will be exploited and
n formation will be given out ex-
cepl such as has been carefully inves-
ed and compiled by the Commis-
sion itself.

The Chairman of the Commission,

Dr. W. R. Dodson of Baton Rouge, is

and Director of the State

ge of Agriculture and Agricul-
tural Experiment Stations. Other
members are: Robert Glenk, New
is. Curator Louisiana State Mu-

: Louis N. Brueggerhoff, Shreve-

ihe active head of the Louisiana

State Fair Association: M. Leigh Alex-

of Alexandria, who represents

Agricultural interests of North
Louisiana, and A. B. Graves of New-
Orleans, who represents the Agricul-
tural interests of South Louisiana.

October 14, 1911

A FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY

Early last week it was whispered
about among the numerous friends of
George C. Watson in Philadelphia that
thai eminent seedsman, writer, and
critic and dispenser of Philadelphia
good cheer would pass the half cen-
tury mark on Friday, October 6, and
it was proposed to waylay and kidnap
the gentleman and give him a grand
blow-out at Dooner's famous hostelry
on that, evening. The kidnapping
business was entrusted to W. C. Lang-
bridge, who did not make a "howling
success" of it, but the rest of the
program was carried out in great
style, and fifty adherents of the fifty-
year-old, including a few from Boston
and New York who had been let into
the secret, had the time of their lives
on that memorable Friday night.

The program of the jollification was
an elaborate production, the joint
achievement of Howard M. Earl and
George W. Kerr, the latter producing a
galaxy of Burns' quotations suitable
to the occasion. The menu — well, that
was Dooner's part and nobody can
improve on Dooner when it comes to
catering. The banquet hall was beau-
tifully decorated, under the loving
hand' of John Westcott. The head
table was richly adorned with croton
foliage and flowers. The four other
tables were made to represent the
four seasons — the spring table being
decorated with baskets of lilies, da:-
sies and pansies; summer with rose*
and other appropriate material; au-
tumn with chrysanthemums, dahl'as
and golden foliage, and winter w'th
dark green foliage weighted with ma-
terials simulating frost and snow. On
a large easel the inscription 50 was
worked out in scarlet flowers and tho
open spaces about the room were
filled with palms.

W. Atlee Burpee presided with rare
affability. Robert Craig asked a bless-
ing in the oft-quoted stanza from
Burns. Mr. Burpee's address w?s
very clever and witty, and his intro-
ductions of the various speakers were
veritable gems. It transpired that the
idea of this banquet had originated
with Mr. Burpee's California manager,
Edwin Lonsdale, and a toast to Lons-
dale was enthusiastically drunk.

Robert Craig next spoke eloquently
recounting the companionable traits
and sturdy character of the guert of
the evening, concluding with a wish
for his long health and happiness.
Wm. J. Stewart followed and ex-
pressed his pride at being able to
Join in such a tribute of love and re-
spect in appreciation of Mr. Watson's
noble qualities of mind and heart
and his unique personality.

Hon. John Lamb, the distinguished
counsel for the Reading R. R., fol-
lowed in a humorous arraignment ot
the guest, giving as his excuse the
words in the middle of the menu,
"Punch Watson." Then came H. A.
Bunyard, who asserted that there is
not a hall anywhere big enough to
hold G. C. Watson's friends,

John Westcott, the hard working
chairman of the committee, was the
next speaker and his "I love every-
body when I know their heart is all
right," struck a responsive chord in
every heart. John Westcott himself

is all heart. Louis Boss, treasurer of
the occasion, followed with a most
witty talk and then came S. S. Pen-
nock, who in presenting Mr. Watson
with a copy of Charles Dudley War-
ner's "My Summer in a Garden,"
read an apt quotation from that de-
liciously naive and humorous book —
the application of which to the guest
of the evening being instantly appre-
ciated by all present.

Then came the guest himself,
George C. Watson, who received an
ovation such as is seldom accorded
to anyone. And here is what he
said:

Well. boys, you've got me in a cavity
tins time. It' I run away I'll fall down,
and if 1 stay I'll get roasted. I can't run
away without offending the kindly spirits
who have put up this feast, and if I
stay I'll get roasted. I can't sass back,
under these peculiar circumstances; so, as
I say, you have me in a cavity. You have
me completely bottled up whichever way
I turn, .so I suppose I will have to stand

George C. Watson

for it as well as I can. My friends. Doc
Lane. Ed Flood and John Westcott, were
in great glee last Sunday because they
got ml,, out in a rough sea and made me
sea sick. The reason they gave for their
enjoyment of that 'was. that they h.ol
George speechless for three hours anyway.
Well, this occasion is not quite so bad as
the sea sickness, but to a modest kid like
yours truly it has some resemblance be-
cause it at least makes me speechless, and
I suppose there are many of my friends
here who are glad of a chance to get a
word in edgewise, and maybe that thought
was back of their beads as w-ell as in their
hearts a lot of warm friendship. It would
be unbecoming in me not to express my
appreciation of the kindly hearts who have
thus made me their victim. I truly do,
and I thank you from my heart. This
is my first birthday party. That is rather
remarkable — that a man should live to be
fifty before he bad a birthday party. Jack
Dunham has about fifty a year. This is
my first. I have often wondered what it
felt like. Now I know. It is a cross be-
tween mal dc liter, hot Jamaica cock-a-
le! ie, roast turkey. Abernethy biscuits,
and Trimbliu Jimmie. It's a lough propo-
sition, but on the whole I think I like it.

John Burton then gave his ex-
periences with Mr. Watson as a
traveling compan'ion and J. K. M. L.
Farquhar on his old friendship for
Mr. Watson extending back to the
time when George as a boy from
Scotland began his career in Boston
in the American seed trade. P.

Welch, the next speaker, was elo-
quent in his testimonial to his friend
of many years and W. C. Langbridge
followed in a witty speech.

Then Howard M. Earl took the
floor and presented to Mr. Watson a
handsome gold watch from his
friends as a memento of this delight-
ful occasion. Mr. Watson responded
appreciatively. Then all joined in
"Auld Lang Syne."

During the evening, verses writ-
ten for the occasion by Prof. L. C.
Elson of Boston were read, also a
congratulatory telegram from J. C.
Vaughan, W. N. Rudd and Michael
Barker. Prof. Elson's poem was as
follows:

An elderly and distant party

Begs to send greetings warm and hearty,

And wishes that he there might be

To pledge you in the Barley Bree.

All are aware there are no blots on

The scutcheon of our George C. Watson,

And he's so active, bright and sporty,

You'd scarcely take him to be forty.

Altho' a friend of moral suasion,

He can be tart upon occasion.

It's strange a man so very witty

Should live in William Penn's slow city,

But then he gives his wits a, rub

Bv often visiting "The Hub,"

But wheresoe'er his journey tends

He makes a host of loyal friends.

Old comrade from the land o' Burns,

I wish vou many glad returns.

You're not a bit of molly coddle;

May vears sit lightly on your noddle.

An ancient friend sends you this blessing.

Who is it?— Well, I'll keep you guessing!

Mr. Watson dictated the following
telegram:

Edwin Lonsdale, Burpee Seed Farms,
Lnmpoc, Cal.

My heart goes out to you as yours has
gone out to me across seas and continents
on this aDd manv other occasions. Your
good will and good wishes are very
precious to me. JIv fiftieth has been made
to me by a host of warm friends a most
memorable and unf< rgettable occasion. _ I
am -till dazed with the magnificence of it,
and have only words enough to say "Gcd
Bless Cs All." Love and greetings from
v, in- old friend on his fiftieth birthday
celebration. GEORGE C. WATSON.

Interspersed between the speeches
was solo singing, tenor, bass and
baritone — the best we have ever lis-
tened to at a banquet anywhere on
any occasion. The gentlemen who
sang were all warm friends of Mr.
Watson. They were: Theodore H.
Bird. Daniel Houseman, Thomas F.
Hogan, E. M. Tyrrell, E. J. Dooner,
George W. Kerr, and they contributed
very greatly to the enjoyment of the
occasion.

Following are a few quotations from
the various speeches:

Sure Louis! I'm more than glad to cheer
poor old George on his way: but why in
the name of the Holy Roman Empire did
you select a Friday? — Tom Daly.

I am not at all surprised that George
feels like eighty-five! I have an attack of
lumbago myself! — Alexander Forbes.

My sincere regards to the venerable
George. May he not be wrecked on Rye
Beach before I get there to keep him com-
pany ! — John F. Gorman.

There will be two of us at the celebration
if I can get away: but anyway — reserve
accordingly. — Wm. Henry Maule.

I have come a long way in order to tes-
tify my appreciation — and hope his stay
here oil earth may extend — lo these many
years! — P. Joseph Lynch.

I hope we will have George with us for
another so years, for nobody leaves his
company with a grouch on! — Daniel C.
Donoghue.

Sit down Louis! There you are— all

all three of you. lawyers: V.m talk, and
you talk, and you talk; but you don't say
anything! Not oue of you! Sit down; all
of you! — Paul Huehner.

Isn't it ahout time Louis was reading
those letters again? — .John Burton.

As we go to press the following
communication reaches us and we
give it place as a good ending to the
account of this memorable event:

The Sinner's Reflections on the Great
Event.

If I had made or inherited a lot of
money I can imagine lots of them com-
ing forward to say Dice things. But hav-
ing done neither, the conclusion is irre-
Bistihle. The hoorah must have been gen-
uine. That is a thought that ought to
five uie much satisfaction — and it does,
nd the notion has gone forth that the
average American loves and worships the
dollar, and the dollar only. Here is at
least one instance to the contrary. The
American people, I believe, are just as
human as the rest of the world. They are
keen for the dollar but they are also warm-
hearted human beings. I have sojourned
among them twenty-seven years, and have.
every minute, more and more realized
that fact. I hope to live and die among
them. Greatest people on earth, and get-
ting bigger every minute!

GEORGE C. WATSON.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Walter Kimmel has returned from a
very pleasant fishing and camping
trip on Blackistone's Island.

Leapley & Meyer, 905 G street, N.
W.. are in the midst of a very suc-
cessful fern, palm and bulb sale.

The new store on King street. Alex-
andria, Va., to which Mr. Charles
Kramer recently removed is far super-
ior to the store formerly occupied by
him, and it is reported that he is doing
nicely.

It is with regret that we have to re-
port that George H. Cooke has suffered
a breakdown following his recent at-
tack of blood poisoning. Earlier in
the year Mr. Coolie ran a •thorn into
his hand causing the poison and his
health since that time has not been of
the best. His very many friends here
wish him a speedy recovery and the
return of his usual good health

The local organization of archi.ects,
at their meeting held last week, ap-
pointed a committee of three to in-
vestigate the advisability of taxing
bay windows. As bay windows and
display windows aie one and the
same, such taxation will hardly b3
favorably considered by the trade in
this city. Should this become a law,
those owning would be obliged to pay
taxes according to their frontage, and
those hiring quarters will be nu
doubt, called upon to pay an in-
creased rental to make up whatever
charges are assessed.

The Department of Agriculture an-
nounces that they have discovered a
method of so treating persimmons as
to remove the "pucker'' therefrom.
This is said to be due to the presence
of soluble tannin which becomes in-
soluble when the fruit gets ripe, but
this condition may be removed by
subjecting the fruit to a diluted solu-
tion of alcohol and the use of carbon
dioxide and starch in the processing
compartments instead of allowing the
air to reach the fruit while undergoing
treatment. Thus the fruit may be
pared and eaten while firm.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

Whoever lost a half ticket for Bal-
timore and Philadelphia can get a re-
fund b'y applying to John Westcott.
Found on the boat trip down the hay.
Address John Westcott, Ridge and
Lehigh avenue, Philadelphia.

We understand that Mack Richmond
of Baltimore is contemplating a new
deal. He is now a free lance, the Hal-
liday's having sold their greenhouses
of which he was foreman for so many
years. Nothing definite has yet been
decided on.

A pleasant meeting took place at
Dooner's on Thursday between those
two veterans, W. R. Smith and Robert
Craig. From time to time old friends
dropped in and greeted them. The
"senator" looks hale, hearty and
rugged. Age cannot wither nor cus-
tom stale.'

The grand show that can be inex-
pensively made with the dahlia was
well illustrated at the recent Florists'
Club dinner here. The Niessen grow-
ers sent in liberally (without thought
of reward) and put up a splendid ad-
vertisement for an even more liberal
use of this fine flower in the future.

M. Rice & Co. have added to their
salesforce Mr. John E. Scolley who will
call on the Philadelphia trade. Mr.
Scolley is one of the store boys — well
trained and promising for the future.
Has been with the firm four years.
Came to them from high school when
17 — so is still a young man with his
spurs to win. We wish him well.

The big steamers Frankfurt, Graf
Waldersee. Manitou and Taormina
each brought heavy shipments of im-
ported baskets, novelties, etc., for M.
Rice & Co. They report sales ex-
ceedingly brisk. In their warehouses,
packing and shipping departments it
was necessary to keep the employes
working nights to keep up with the
orders.

Montague Wright, a former Phi'adel-
phia boy, who has for the past six
years been one of Lord & Burnham
Company's New York representatives,
is now associated with Dennis C( am
in the company's Philadelphia office.
Mr. Wright will give special attention
from this office to the handling of the
southern territory — a field which he
has been in close touch with for sev-
eral years.

CHICAGO NOTES.

An Anniversary Cup.

The handsome silver loving cup pre-
sented to the Chicago Florists' Club is
calling forth many words of admira-
tion. It is on exhibition at the office
of the Chicago Carnation Co., whose
popular manager, A. T. Pyfer, is club
secretary. The cup is about 14 inches
high without the base, and on the side
is beautifully engraved Chicago Flor-
ists' Club Silver Anniversary, from
the Milwaukee Florists' Club. Oct. 5,
1911.

The Chicago florists are greatly
moved over this expression of the good
will that prevails between the Mil-
waukee Club and their own.

Illinois State Fair.
Chicago florists who attended the
State Fair at Springfield, 111., last week
speak in highest praise both of the ex-
hibition and the management of the
floricultural part. Poehlmann Bros.
Co., the Chicago Carnation Co. and the
Albert T. Hey Co., all had large ex-
hibits from this vicinity and carried
off their full share of the prizes. Out
of the nine entries made by the Chi-
cago Carnation Co., five first prizes
and four seconds were won. List of
awards is quite lengthy. Schiller, the
Florist, had some fine decorative work
there and carried off several prizes.
The Albert T. Hey Co., of Maywood
also did some very creditable work.

Trade Jottings.

The A. Henderson Co. are as busy as
bees these days and the amount of
bulb stock that "has come and gone
during the past month is very large.
Azaleas are expected in this week.

Blooming plants are now few. The
varieties of early chrysanthemums
suitable for cut flowers, as a rule,
do not make a growth suitable
for pot plants, but there are a
few varieties that can be used
in this way and they are now show-
ing color. Cyclamen and primroses
are coming in in very limited quan-
tity, but are not far enough out
to make good offerings for high-class
trade. Celestial peppers and Jerusa-
lem cherries (solanum) will very soon
be ready for the counters, some few
plants being already in the stores.
The retail men are still depending on
the old standbys, Boston and Whit-
manii ferns, pandanus, dracaenas, etc.,
lor bac. ground in window displays,
varied by the autumn foliage now of-
fered in great quantities.

The fall openings were unusually
attractive, a profusion of color and a
vast amount of material being used in
windows, columns and overhead trim-
ming. The cutting out of all cut
flowers, except Beauties and a lew
chrysanthemums, is more noticeable
than ever this year and less artistic
skill is shown in the handling of the
artificial materials. Vines, by the
hundred, all of the same pattern, no
matter how beautiful, do not lend
themselves to graceful effects as natu-
rally as the growing vines, but their
lasting qualities more than make up
for it. The producer of prepared or
artificial stock seems to have gotten a
little ahead of the one who handles it.

Personal.
H. Anderson has been added to the
E. H. Hunt office force.

Edward Armstrong of A. Lange's

and Maggie Maloney were married at
St. Joseph, Mich., Sept. 23rd.

Mrs. E. H. Horton of Bassett &
Washburn's office force is ill at her
home in Evanston.— C. M. Dickinson
is still confined to his home. — G. H.
Pieser continues very ill.

Visitor- M. S. Crozer, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa.

BOSTON & MAINE R. R. STATION
PRIZES.

An order has been issued by Su-
perintendent Lee of the Boston &
Maine Railroad awarding cash prizes
for flower displays at the stations of
the company. The committee which
examined these displays found that
25G stations had been competing fo.-
honors during the summer. Fourteen
of the displays were found to be com-
mendably well kept, but were awarded
no prizes because they were cared for
by the roadway department. Beverly

THE NEW BREITMEYER STORE.

An event of much interest to the
craft was the opening of the new
Breitmeyer store in Detroit last week.
It is built on a lot 44 x 111 and is of
the type of a Haarlem home, two show
windows below and three large and
one small window above. Four col-
umns topped with jars holding pyra-
midal box extend above the roof and
there are window boxes filled with
box and ivy at each of the windows.
The exterior finish is stucco in light
green, with window and door frames
and lettering in verde antique.

The store interior is in ivory-yellow,
with verde antique ceiling and red tile
floor. Out of this opens a conserva-
tory, 44 feet wide, with arched rcof
and fountain. The refrigerator is 22
feet long and cooled artificially. The

was found to be very attractive; Mont-

in fine trim: Hoosick Falls charming;
Charlestown well kept; the entire
premises at Newport, Vt, and at Lake-

Woodsville excels them all. with its

prize $10. and 113 in the seventh class,
prize $5.

wainscotting is of marble. All the ap-
purtenances and adornment of the es-
tablishment are artistic, rich and ap-
l update. The plant tables a d
shelves are of slate. The lighting is
by three chandeliers and group of
electric lights. The lights in the con-
servatory are made to produce a mel-
low moonlight effect.'

As a fitting adjunct to such a hand-
some floral emporium the delivery
auto, of which an illustration is heie
given, has been added to the Breit-
meyer equipment. It is a "Dttro t
Electric," manufactured by the Ander-
son Electric Car Co., of Detroit, and
i beauty and practicability for a
high-class florist outfit is our reason
for illustrating it here. The carrying
space is ample and sliding doors con-
nect the carrying space with the driv-
er's seat. The electrical equipment
consists of an Edison 60-cylinder A4
battery developing a speed of f ur-
teen miles and running fifty miles on
one charge. The car has a capacity
of 1000 pounds.

#TTNothing 's more subject to
Jl mistake and disappointment
than anticipated judgment con-
cerning the easiness or difficul-
ty of any undertaking : whether
your opinion be formed from
the performance of others or
from abstracted contemplation
of the thing to be attempted.
Whatever is done skilfully ap-
pears to be done with ease ;
and art, when it is once matured
to habit, vanishes from obser-
vation.

Lily growers who have an idea
that it's a snap to grow lilies
properly will do well to con-
sider what they really know
about it. It is easy enough for
those who already know be-
cause they have acquired that
skill through careful study and
experience. After jou have
acquired the same ability, of
course, it is easy and habit will
take the place of art : but don't
think just because your neigh-
bor knows that you do too
The far off fields always look
green but when you reach
them they are the same old
brown that you find around
home on a hot summer's day.
The wise thing to do then is to
be careful — be attentive, work,
use your reasoning faculties
and above all have good tools
to work with. The principle
tool in the lily business is a
good bulb — it's an absolutely
essential tool and no grower,
no matter how good, can do
without it. Horseshoe Brand
Giganteum will eclipse any-
thing on the market for pro-
ductiveness and all around sat-
isfactory service. Try them.

Seed Trade

Crop Conditions.
Crop conditions have now reached a
stage where growers both in this coun-
try and Europe must show their
hands, or in other words must furnish
their customers with some sort of esti-
mate of what they expect to deliver on
contracts. We are rather inclined to
sympathize with the grower who re-
sists pressure requiring him to furnish
estimates while his crops are in the
field and not matured, and the grower
who refuses to submit estimates unt.l
his crops are ready for shipment goes
to the opposite extreme, and is liable
to find himself with reduced patronage
or perhaps none at all.

Peas and Beans.

Most of the pea and bean growers
have now sent out their preliminary
estimates and these fully bear out the
rather pessimistic reports we have been
furnishing to the readers of HORTI-
CULTURE since midsummer. As a
matter of fact, they are worse than
we were willing to believe. Here are
some of the figures representing the
high and low of different growers,
the average being about midway be-
tween: Alaskas, 25 to 50 per cent.;
Extra Earlies, 8 to 40 per cent.; Al-
derman, Duke of Albany and Tele-
phone, 12 to 30 per cent.; Ameer, 20
to 50 per cent.; Gems, 7 to 30 per
cent.; Am. Wonders and Notts Ex-
celsior are running neck and neck, 8

to 30 per cent.; White and Black
Eye Marrowfats, 12 to 50 per cent.;
Canada Eield, 10 to 40 per cent.;
Carters Daisy, 0 to 20 per cent. ;
Dwf. Champion. 10 to 30 per cent.;
Everbearing and Yorkshire Hero, 10
to 35 per cent.; Gradus, 0 to 30 per
cent.; Advancers, Horsford's Market
Garden, 20 to 35 per cent.; Champion
of England, 0 to 30 per cent.; Hero-
ine, 20 to 35 per cent.; Sutton's Excel-
sior, 10 to 25 per cent; Telegraph,
9 to 35 per cent; Pride of Market,
0 to 50 per cent; Imp'd Stratagems, 8
to 50 per cent; Thos. Laxton, 9 to
25 per cent; Admiral, 15 to 40 per
cent. There are several less impor-
tant varieties ranging from 0 to 40
per cent, and among these may be
mentioned the Sugar or Edible Pod
sorts.

Beans will not turn out so large
a crop as predicted by many some
weeks ago, and most of these bound-
ing optimists now admit this, but it
is quite in line with the crop news
furnished by HORTICULTURE from
last mid-summer. We predicted,
however, that there would be no
famine in Beans, and this still holds
good. To begin with, too large a
quantity of beans were carried over
to permit of a famine. Three or four
of the wax and two or three of the
green pods are liable to be short
enough to arouse interest, but while
prices will be firm, there are no indi-
cations of any abnormal scarcity.
Lima beans, both Pole and Dwarf, are
now practically a full crop, barring
damage by wet weather, and by the
way, it should not be forgotten that
no bean crops are secure until safely
under cover.

It is now generally thought that

sweet corn has made a fair crop,
though there are reports from the
west that late varieties are short.
We look for a firm market on seed
corn, but no extravagant prices. The
recent heavy frost which visited New
England and which was so disastrous
to tobacco, contrary to general ex-
pectations, did but little damage to
corn, if we are correctly informed,
and we have no reason to question
the accuracy of our information.

Cucumber and Other Vine Seed.

Cucumber seed will be in good de-
mand at fair prices, and New York
state grown seed will be at a premi-
um. The crop of Washington County,
N. Y., will not be above 25 per cent,
on the acreage. Had the severe
frost which visited that section of
New York state about the same time
New England's vegetation received
its quietus, held off two weeks, the
cucumber seed crop of Washington
County would have been above aver-
age. Owing to the heat and drouth
of mid-summer the vines ceased to
grow or set fruit, but when the rains
came in August the vines started a
fresh growth and new fruit was set
in great quantities, and it was this
that was killed by the early frost.
The western crop, we hear, will be
fair, but the carry over will be small
and we believe in good prices and a
firm market for cucumbers. Musk
melons will be short, as we learn
the Kansas crop will be largely a
failure. Quite a number of varieties
will be very hard to secure at any
price, but we are unable to give speci-
fications at this time. Squashes are
in much better shape than a year

Root Crops.

Garden beets and carrots arc the

staorti hi 50 years, coi racl

deliveries ranging from 0 to 10 and

IE per cent Mangels are only a shade

and scarcely purchasable at |
any price. To give some Idea of values ■
we are reliably Informed that a private ,
of Crosbys Egyptian Beet was
'so, Blood
Turnip, Long Blood and other ordi- !
nary varieties have sold . at 60c.
Mangels have sold as high as 25c,
while carrots are quoted from $1.00
to $1.75, and we have heard of some
-..hi at the latter
figures.

Spinach, Parsley and Parsnips.
Spinach is short, particularly the
Savoy Leaved, and it is hard to

ire it in quantities. It is now
offered gingerly at 12 to 15c.

Parsley is very scarce and not pro-
curable in quantities. Parsnip is also
short, but what's the use— is there
anything in seeds this year that is
a good crop? Of what avail is the
rain and mild weather after the heat
and drouth have ruined vegetation?
Of what avail the sunshine and calm
atmosphere after the tornado has
wrecked and destroyed everything?
It looks as if this old earth had to
take pot luck with no particular care
or attention from any source. Many
good people act as if they thought
this speck in the great universe was
all thai interested celestial attention.
•What fools these mortals be."

Latest Market News.
Wholesale prices continue to soar.

Beet seed is changing hands in 1

pound has at 85 cents a pound and
will go to $1. Carrot seed is being sold
at $2 a pound and there is nothing
to indicate that this establishes the
limit. It is liable to go much higher
as the demand seems to far exceed the
available supply.

Notes.

Mr. Jerome B. Rice has been ill
enough to take to his bed for the
past two weeks, but is now convales-

Peter Henderson, son of the late Al-
fred Henderson of New York, who is
in his senior year at Yale, has been
ted chairman for Class Day.

Tucson, Ala. — The Tucson Seed Co.
has been incorporated, capital stock
$10,000. Incorporators Henry B. Lan-
gers, Thomas V. McCauley and Iva
Langers.

Frank C. Woodruff, whose term as a
member of the state senate of Connec-
ticut is soon to expire, is to be given
the honor of having his portrait as
president of the senate and acting
lieutenant-governor, hung in the state
capitol at Hartford.

A wail is going up from the pea
growers that they can't get farmers
to grow pea seed for next year and
one or two of the pea growers are
threatening to sell their seed stock
and quit. This will receive attention
in our next "notes."

Flower Market Reports

The demand with, the
BOSTON wholesaler lias been
quite brisk the past
week. Stock is not over plentiful.
Only a limited number of early varie-
ties of chrysanthemums are in flower.
The Golden Glow, October Frost,
Polly Rose and Rievere are the list
thus far. Carnations are high in price
considering the poor grade of flowers
obtainable. Violets, single, are getting
better quality and increasing in sup-
ply. Lily of the valley in excellent
quality and selling well. Prices on all
goods are about the same as last week.
The newer varieties of roses are called
for and selling at fair prices, while
the Bride, 'Maid and Richmond are
moving slowly.

Recent frosts have prac-
BUFFALO tically cut off the out-
door stock and the effect
is noticeable on indoor, the demand
growing steadily for carnations, roses
and other flowers. Chrysanthemums
are coming in more plentifully each
day, though only Golden Glow, Octo-
ber Frost and Smith's Advance have
been had, but a few days of bright
weather will bring on Pacific, Polly
Rose and Halliday. Roses shortened
somewhat in supply, and selected
stock was not over-abundant, there
being too many Richmonds of all
grades, with light demand for them.
Carnations are in good supply, espe-
cially Enchantress and Beacon. Some
good White Perfection are seen and
have had a good call. Dahlias are
among the daily receipts and so far
have taken well. Lilies are in fair
supply, also lily of the valley and
violets.

Even the most pessimis-
CHICAGO tic now admit that there
is a stir in the flower
market. Wholesalers are selling pret-
ty close to the end of the supply day
by day and even the retailer who has
formed the "no business" habit now
smiles occasionally and owns up to
better times. Weddings are largely re-
sponsible for this state of affairs, one
retailer reporting eleven on Saturday
and four on Sunday, all of which
called for the elaborate use of flowers.
Another has two out-of-town decora-
tions in the near future, both chrysan-
themum weddings calling for hun-
dreds of those favorites with brides.
The coming in of chrysanthemums
seems to have marked the change from
summer to fall and a welcome change
it is. Violets can hardly be said to
be in yet as the sales are so slow.
Doubles in most instances remained
unsold but singles sold for 75c. last
week, few wholesalers carrying them.
Cosmos are much in evidence and sell
fairly well. Asters, gladioli and other
evidences of summer are still here and
sell better than a few weeks ago.
Roses of all kinds are plentiful and no
fault can be found with the quality, the
occasional sunshine helping out won-
derfully. Carnations are unusually
fine for the season; fine long stems
and large full blooms are seen in many
places. There is an abundance of
green of all kinds.

Supply has been rather
DETROIT scarce for a few days,
during which the de-
mand was very brisk. Out-of-door
flowers have been ruined by excessive-

A SOCIETY NOTE.

Dear Editor, an item :

My last, perhaps, iliis year
I'm keen enough to write 'em.

But news is scanty here.
Society's news fountains

Are growing very dry:
There's nothing in the mountains

But silence, rocks and sky.
Yet by the sumac torches

That on the hillsides dance
Late gossip on the per, lies

Spy out one last romance.
The beautiful Belle Summer

Who's flirted here since June
Has met a bold uewcomer,

And she'll surrender soon.
For though by height or hollow

Seclusb n Bhe may seek.
Rogue Jack is sure to follow

Aid feed upon her cheek,
Rose-branded by his kisses,

Her spinsterhood is lust.
Miss Summer now is "Mrs.."

Her married name is Frost

Off

NO doubl you think such an extension is rather
peculiai after our Hat-footed statement that
"the Offer would last only until October titb,
and not a day longer."

Hut listen! The last few days' mail brought in
a large number of letters "kicking" about the
short time limit put on the offer. Practically
Bvery one of the letters stated that the offer had
not been seen until too late.

We didn't pay Bo much attention to the first few
protests, but when thej began to pile up, it became
clear enough to us that the offer had either not
.been advertised broadly enough, or the time limit
was too short.

So in all fairness to our protesting friends, we
are going to give them — and you — another chance
to buy 25, 50 or 100 of our "Sash That Last" at the
Special Prices named below.

Now get busy and send your orders!

On Tuesday, October 24th, you will have to pay
the long price.

This U the U-Bar.
The Bar That
Make* U-Bar
Greenhouses the
Famous Green-
houses they Are.

AT a glance that's apparent. The reason is, the U-Bar. To put it another way; you can put a gold plated
harness on a heavy draft horse and hitch him to a swell little runabout — but with all his trappings
he ambles along draft horse fashion just the same. So by the same token, putting a curved eave on
a greenhouse does not make it a I*-Bar curved eave house. It only looks something like it from the out-
side. A U-Bar house is distinctly different and its the T'-Bar that makes it so. Send for the catalog and
find out just why.

LILIUM HARRISII

The Bermuda Easter l—ily

LET US supply your \*^ar-»-ts in Lilies this season
We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer la not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but Is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 Inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lota, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties,— good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-in. pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantlssima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 8-ln. plants $1.00 to 1.60 each

Nephxolepls Elegantlaaima, BOBtonlensis, and Harrisii, heavy 10-ln. plants 2.50 each

Having Disposed of Our Surplus Stock
Plants of ADVANCE, We Are Now in
Position to Take Orders for Young
Plants for January or February Delivery
of the Three Following:
SMITH'S ADVANCE. — The earliest large
flowering white, a fine companion of Golden
Clow. Can be had from July onward ac-
cording to date of planting and selecting
buds. Being more dwarf and flowers more
double than October Frost, is a decided
improvement on that variety. It has been
so well received by all purchasers this
season, we predict a very heavy demand.
PRICE: $1.20 per Ten; $10.00 per Hundred.
I'NAKA.— This variety has sustained our
Inst year description. Being a strong
grower with perfect stem and foliage, a
fine incurved bloom of a pleasing shade of
pink and maturing the first week of Octo-
ber, places it foremost among early pinks.
In fact there is no other good pink to
compete with it at this date.
PRICE: $1.20 per Ten; $10.00 per Hundred.
CHRYSOEORA.— This variety is about
15 days earlier than Col. D. Appleton ; is of
larger size, stronger stem, not as tall, in
color is intermediate between tbis variety
and Major Bonnaffon. This with its excel-
lent keeping qualities, places it in the front
ranks of the Commercial sorts.
PRICE: $3.00 per Ten; $25.00 per Hundred.

LILIUM M A F? F? I S I I

THe Bermuda Easter l_ily

1—ET US supply your v^arits in Lilies this season
We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer la not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but Is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them In the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, 140.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensis and PiersonI, 6-in. pots $0.60 each

Nephrolepis Elegantisslma, PiersonI, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 8-in. plants $1.00 to 1.60 each

Fruit and Vegetables under Glass

MADRESFIELD COURT AS A LATE GBAPE

Madresiield Court i- a grape of many peculiarities

all its own. The sha] E bunch and berries, flavor,

growth, and its fruiting properties, are all very notice-
able. The nature of its origin has been given in vary-
ing ways, but Barron's Book on Vines gives it as, "A
hybrid raised by the late Mr. Cox. gardener to the Earl
of Beauchamp, Madresfield Court, Worcester, England,
by crossing Muscat of Alexandria with Black Morocco,"
and this parentage can be traced in the offspring. It
has decidedly a Muscal Savor and shape of berry and is
very fruitful, nearly every lateral showing a flower
truss. The color of the berry and the way the foliage
dies off seem to be the chief identifications of the other
pa lent — Black Morocco. This latter is a late grape
and when Madresfield Court was first sent out, it, too,
was included as a late variety and grown as such for
a time. Sonic gardeners todav include it in a late

advantage of being in danger of getting bruised when
watering and syringing. No. 2 is pear Conference,
carrying twelve fruits, a big crop for a twelve-inch pot.
No. 3 is apple Cox's Orange Pippin, with twelve fruits;
never a large apple, but splendid for dessert.

'KING ONIONS

The keeping properties of onions are great U de-
creased by improper storing. Having been grown and
housed the] should receive enough attention to ensure
a minimum loss until used. Onions are best laid thinly
on shelves made of laths or narrow boards with a divi-
sion between each • ibai (he air has a chance to get all
around, or tied on to i rings — "traced," as some term it
— and suspended from the roof or ceiling, a job which

will often gi\e employment mi s e wet day. Onions

house, but it is a mistake to grow it as a "keeper;" in
fact it is an early grape and it is more profitable to
grow it as such. ' The chief points which are against
it for late work are a great liability to crack if not
properly handled, if given too much fire heat the ber-
ries will soon shrivel, and after retaining its color for
a we,k or so it will often go back to a reddish black
instead of having the deep bloom it should. It has
man] points in its favor for early work, viz., very easy
to -row. always fruitful, I i set and splendid flavor.

some still think) for late work, ["his variety is always

POT 1 El IT

The pictures abovi three pot trees as grown

this season. No. 1 shows Pitmaston Duchess pear
carrying seven fine fruits. The crop here is rather low
down, owing to a scarcity of flowers, and has the dis-

them for blanching. An inverted pot can be placed
over each, or part of the bench or frame? covered over.
It is better to do a portion at a time as the plants will
keep longer when the leaves contain their usual quan-
tity of chlorophyl.

RHUBARB

Rhubarb intended for forcing can be lifted as soon
as the early frosts have cut down the top growth and
placed in some i t] ised position with a little straw

around them to ays from the roots. By

so doing the 1 ts will take more effect and the

roots will be in a better condition for early forcing.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists' Stock

BRIOAS

Ericas such as Erica melanthera, E. hyemalis and E.
gracilis, thai are wanted for Christmas, should be run
anywhere from 15 to 50 degrees at night, hut at no time
should this temperature be exo >r they resent

am- extrei are used to force other plants

into flower. In ventilating beware of all piercing winds

at this changeable part of

the war. inn always trj to keep the atmosphere from

ing m any way stuffy or stagnant, a condition

which l- rerj injurious to this class of plants. Keep

your air in a buoyant condition and you will greatly

them in warding off an aitack of mildew. When

ows itself on any plant remove the plant

as it i.- very contagious, and blow sulphur

through and over the plants until the attack is checked.

Ill IES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Plants of T .ilium Ilarrisii that are wanted for the
Christmas trade should be pushed from now on. Where
you have lilies that have their pots well filled with
roots and are in a healthy condition, you can force them
say anywhere from 65 to 70 degrees at night,
witli ten" to fifteen degrees higher during the daytime
with sunshine. Give them a bench where they will be
as near the glass as possible. Lilies delight in atmos-
pheric moisture, so it is advisable to thoroughly damp
down your house twice a day. especially in bright
weather, so as to prevent a harsh and dry atmosphere;
_:ive them free s] nuging overhead on all good days.
To en the flowers and give color to the foliage,

apply liquid manure twice a week. To keep the aphis
from getting a hold fumigate once a week. Now that
are growing shorter, and with the solar heat on
the decline, you should be able to count the buds the
first week in November, if you want to he sure of your
lilies being on time for the holidays. It is a very easy
matter to hold them bark at this season of the year.

POINSETTIAS

When the bracts begin to form they will need an ad-
vance in the temperature, say to about 60 degrees at
night. These plants soon impoverish the soil, so just
as soon as the bracts can be seen give them manure

: twin- a week, but only in moderately weak doses,
for if made too strong it will cause them to lose their
foliage. Keep them nicely tied up. Pay attention to
. for an even amount of moisture at the
roots is necessary if you want good foliage and intensity
of color in the bracts. Where you are troubled with
,i will ho obliged to apply quite a strong
force ter to dislodge them, for th only

means to keep down this pest. In order to havi
poinsettias in a presentable shape for decorative pur-
pose they should, immediately after they are cut. he
immersed for about one inch of the ends in boiling
water for a minute or so ; this does not prevent the

rption of water by the stems, and the folia
well as the bracts are consequently preserved fr<

SWEET i

To grow swa uccessfully, ventilation i~ one of

the first points to be observed. Xow that the cool
night ep a little heat running through

the pipes and at the same time keep the venti
open a little at the top; this will give them a cool dry

atmosphere which is a good preventive for the dropping
of buds. To ensure a free healthy growth it is always
better during spells of rainy or misty weather to have
a little heal and ventilation at the same time. Don't
run your sweet peas too high, which only leaves them
weakened in constitution, from which they do not easily
recover. Keep them anywhere from 45 to 50 degrees at
night and during sunny days 65 to 70, which will al-
low them to develop gradually in their proper temper-
ature. Keep them well supported from time to time
so as to have nice straight growth later on. As the days
grow shorter the utmost attention should be paid to
watering. While they always like plenty of moisture
at i he roots they will not stand a continual over-moist
condition at the roots, so let them dry out once in a
while. Make a sowing now in 4-inch pots; these will
bring you a crop in February which will last for about
three months if cared for properly.

WINTERING CANNAS AND DAHLIAS

When storing these roots away you cannot use too
much care in having the different varieties labeled and
placed by themselves, so when you need them again you
will know just what they are and where they are.
Leave all the soil that will cling to roots of cannas and
they will keep in a much better condition for it. They
will keep fine on boards beneath a carnation bench.
When lifting dahlia roots choose as dry a day as possible
and shake most of the soil off, then turn them upside
down to allow any water to run off the crowns before
storing them away. They will keep in a cool, dry
cellar that is secure from frost.

Mr. Farrell's next notes will be on the following: Care of

Roses: Cymhidiuuis: Callas: Ferns for the Table; Freesias for
Christmas; lifting Shrubs for Forcing; Primulas for the Holidays.

Cypripedium x Mabeliae

This beautiful cypripedium is a hybrid between C.
Rothschildsianum and C. superbiens and is fairly inter-
mediate between those two species. The ground color
is white, suffused with greenish yellow towards the cen-
ter. The many spots on the petals and the lines on
the dorsal sepal are deep purple, and the lip is suffused
with dull purple on a pale green ground. As to size
and shape of the flowers, the picture speaks for itself
being just a trifle under life size. The flowers are car-
ried on a stout, hairy scape a foot or more in length
and last a long time in perfection. The leaves are
broad, shiny, bright green beautifully tessalated with a
darker shade of green. It is a free grower and well
worth a place in any collection of orchids.

This fine hybrid was first raised and exhibited by
W. E. Lee (England) in 1894. It has since been
raised in several other places and has been exhibited
under at least seven or eight different names; Cypr.
W. R. Lee and C. Lord Derby are perhaps the two most
common names for it. Cypripedium Mabelianum, C.
Massaianum, C. Andronicus, C. Mrs. Harry Smith, C.
Rothshildsiano — superbiens are other names for the
same hybrid.

For Closer Relations Between Commercial Horticulture and Scientific

Institutions

A Communication from Professor Charles S. Sargent to the Horticultural Club of

Mr, John Farquharj I nt, Horticultural Club of

Boston :
M\ Dear Sir. Farquhar: The formation in Boston
I Itural Club, which is intended to be Na-

tional in dp and in it s field of operation,

matter of public importance and public interest.
For tlic firel time in thi rj il affords opportunity

for concentration and effective effort in several direc-
tion-. To speak only of one of the benefits to the coun-
try, which i he community lias a right to expect from
.-mil an organization as you propose, it should be able
to bring Commercial Horticulture in closer touch with
Science.

In most European countries arc nurserymen and
seedsmen whose names are known and respected by

me who cultivates plants. These firms, for gener-
al km- sometimes, mselves in constant com-
munication with the great National Scientific Gardens.
They have often rendered these Gardens important serv-
ltIi their enterprise, intelligence ami lore-
thought, have done mui h for the world, ami made them-
selves rich ami powerful. Some of the mosl important
botanical discoveries have been made by European nur-
serymen, who with rare sagacity and business good
sense have hunted d over for new plants. The
remarkable increase of sugar in the beet and the greater
product of the wheal field are due to the labor of a
Paris firm working patiently from generation to gener-
ation along scientific lines. Such firms are looking
evi rywhere for improvement and novelty. The princi-
ple which underlies their efforl is not to supply the
public with cheap ami inferior material, hut to find or
rial, ami then teach the public to ap-
preciate ami buy it.

In this country, however, Commercial Horticulture

iw to ta! e a< for its

own improvemenl and thai of the public. To illustrate

I need only re Arnold Arboretum. This

is a museum of trees ami shrubs ami a station for in-
creasing thi
ment and explorations. It has now for many

ictive in the botanical exploration of North Amer-
ica, and more recently it has worked in Japan, Korea,
Manchuria, eastern Siberia and western China, It con-
tains the 1. ad shrubs in Xorth
America, and ons are richer. Tt
is well known in I ; heads or the prim
officers of some of ;' e National Gardens have found it
worth their while to cross the Atlantic to visit it; it is

etum however, is hardly mon- than a nam.. Occasion-
ally an American nurseryman passes an hour there,

norally in thi dli lay, and then

goes on his way. 1 do not believe there is one

of them who knows the collection or its richness in
commercial possibilities. \\ me of American

nurserymen is true of many Amen, an park superin-
tendents, and of most American landscape gardeners.
This is a cause for general and national regret. The

nurserymen. \ planl taken up by I le in the

course of a few years becomes known to thousands of
people in different parts of the country, who might
never have the opportunity to see the Arboretum.

1 have realize. I for several years the necessity of
closer relation between the Arboretum and the import-
ant nurserymen oJ the country, hut oui lo bring
this about have not nut with much success. A few

irs ago, at his request, we sent to a prominent Ameri-
can nurseryman a collection of ra -. selected by
himself, with the understanding that he was to propa-
gate them an. I put them on the market. A few months
later I found that he had sold the collection as he had
received it, to one of his customers. To another firm
even better known than the la um once
sent a collection of plants from northern China, which
were quite a at 1 hal i ime. \ few years later, I
found them in the row where they had first been plant-
ed, crowded together, choked by grass and ruined.
Some of the Bame plants sent at tie -.m,. time to I
ropean nursi ing by thi ave been
advertised, have I considerable' sums of money.

Hardly a wed, passes that does not bring letters to
the Arboretum as! ing where plant here can be

bought. In nine cases out of ten. we axi I to

-end in reply t1 of a European nurseryman.

This usually mean- tlurt the would-be put 'oes

without his plant, for it is not easy to import a single
plant, or even a half-dozen, and to persons not accus-
ni in Europe it a- ore

difficult than it really i-.

WORCESTER COUNTY HORTICUL-
TURAL SOCIETY.

At the annual fall exhibit of the
Worcester County Horticultural Socie-
ty in Horticultural Hall, Worcester,
Mass., October 12, there was an excel-
lent showing of fruit, also a display of
hardy shrubs by William Anderson,
gardener for Bayard Thayer of Lan-
caster and stove plants from George
McWilliam, gardener for G. Marston
Whitin of Whitinsville, These latter
were arranged in a mound effect in
the center of the hall, and made a
pleasing contrast to the many colors
of the fruit, arranged on the surround-
ing tables.

The platform of the hall was banked
with palms from the H. F. A. Lange
greenhouse.

The annual dinner at 12.30 o'clock
was followed by a short program of
speeches. President Edward W. Breed
of Clinton presided, and spoke of the
loss to the society in the death of
Adin A. Hixon, who served for over 20
years as secretary and treasurer, and
the company gave three minutes' si-
lence in his memory.

J. Lewis Ellsworth, secretary of the
state board of agriculture, spoke brief-
ly of apple growing methods in the
west.

W. D. Ross announced the awards
on ensilage corn competition for
which he had offered a premium of $50
in gold. The award was won by Mrs,
H. W. Harris of Adrian, Mich., who
produced over G8 tons on an acre of
ground.

Other speakers were J. K, Greene,
and Dr. Geo. E. Francis, and a demon-
stration of apple packing was given by
J. B. Castner oi Hood River, Ore.

CINCINNATI FLORISTS' SOCIETY.

The October meeting of the Cin-
cinnati Florists' Society was well at-
tended. The executive committee of
the flower show reported that J. M.
McCullough's Sons Co., J. Chas. Mc-
Cullough and R. Witterstaetter had do-
nated silver cups for prizes. Messrs.
Phil. Breitmeyer, Otto Koenig and I.
Bertermann have consented to act as
judges. Wm. Sunderbruch, Jr., Chas.
Witterstaetter, Jos. Beran, Emmet
Suttmiller, Ed Bossmeyer and Harry
Sunderhaus were, under a suspension
of the rules, elected to membership by
acclamation. A committee consisting
of C. E. Critchell, P. J. dinger and C.
H. Hoffmeister was appointed to sub-
mit plans for entertaining visiting
florists.

The invitation of A. Ostendarp and
A. C. Huhman, Jr., of the Cincinnati
Cut Flower Exchange, to hold the
meeting on Saturday, November 11th,
at their place of business was ac-
cepted. A special meet ng will be held
at the club rooms on October 23rd.

E. G. Hill of Richmond, Ind., was on
hand. He showed a vase of his yellow
rose Sunburst, that gained the admir-
ation of all by its fine points. Mr. Hill
also talked entertainingly of European
shows, especially in "merrie olde
England."

GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' CLUB
OF BOSTON.

This club held its second meeting of
the season on Tuesday evening, the
17th and there was a large attendance
of members. After the minutes of the
last meeting had been approved J. K.
M. L. Farquhar made some very in-
teresting remarks respecting the
closer affiliation of the club with Am-
herst College and reported what the
committee had done with regard to
the suggestion from Prof. White that
the committee spend three days in in-
specting the greenhouses and other
work. Mr. Farquhar thought that a
sub-committee of three members
should be appointed and it would be
possible for them to see and report
upon all there was to be seen at Am-
herst in a much shorter space of time.
It was resolved that further time be
allowed. Three new members were
elected, and among the visitors was
Mr. E. O. Orpet, Lake Forest, 111.

The subject for the evening was
bulbs, Wm. Patterson, Wollaston,
Mass., being the first speaker. He em-
phasized the value of obtaining good
hard bulbs and said that for pots and
boxes the best compost consisted of two-
thirds loam- and one-third well-rotted
manure. It is important to get the
bulbs potted as son as possible after
arrival and not allow them to become
hard frozen while in the open. The
medium growing varieties, he said,
were preferable to late growing ones
for market work.

Robert Cameron read a very inter-
esting paper on Bulbs for Bedding
Purposes and referred specially to
some of the more beautiful and un-
common sorts. He spoke highly of the
naturalizing of bulbs which has been
so successfully practiced in the park
system of Boston and hoped this would
be the means of inducing others to do
likewise. Mr. Cameron mentioned the
best varieties in each section but he
referred particularly to the new Poetaz
varieties and fully emphasized' their
value. This speaker made special
mention of the fact that bulbs were
generally kept much too dry in Ameri-
can seed stores and it was necessary to
go to Europe to get the best. John
Duguid of Natick, gave a talk on Plant-
ing Bulbs in Grass, etc., giving in de-
tail the best methods of procedure.

Exhibits were not numerous but very-
noticeable were R. & J. Farquhar &
Co.'s displays of Viola cornuta pur-
purea, a fine rich purple variety and
four vases of roses — viz. Radiance,
Lady Hillingdon, Prince de Bulgarie
and Mrs. Aaron Ward. From S. J.
Goddard, Framingham, came carna-
tions, the new White Wonder being
very promising. Wm. Downs showed
a fine branching specimen of Celosia
Tbomsonii pyramidalis. evidently a
good type. Chrysanthemums in varie-
ty came from W. \V. Edgar, Waverley,
and from James Wheeler a fine vase of
Enchantress carnation.

ST. LOUIS FLORISTS' CLUB.

The St. Louis Florist Club held a
very interesting meeting on Thursday
afternoon, Oct. 12th, in Odd Fellows'
Hall. Vice-President Vennemann
opened the meeting and Ex-President
Fillmore at once proceeded to install
President-Elect Robert J. Windier, who

at once took charge and handled the
uniting like an old timer. After the
opening preliminaries Secretary Be-
neke read a letter from the florists of
San Francisco., Cal., saying that they
v( re organizing a club and asking for
a copy of the by-laws, which will be
sent.

The next meeting comes in flower
show week when the chrysanthemum
society meets here. It was decided to
entertain the visitors with a banquet.
It was also decided to have an essay
or discussion at each meeting here-
after. Dave Geddes then gave an in-
teresting account of the recent Chi-
cago trip and said the visitors were
royally treated and all had a good
time.

The queries from the question box
brought, as usual, good and interesting
questions which took up the greater
part of the afternoon. After ad-
journment President Windier invited
the members to a little spread at Lip-
pi's where the balance of the evening
was spent.

Next meeting Thursday afternoon,
November 9th, at 2 o'clock.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

Arrangement has been made at De-
troit for the joint exhibition in Jan-
uary, 1912, to be held in Wayne Pa-
vilion adjoining the Michigan Central
Union Station where trains from New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Washington, Cincinnati, Chicago, etc.,
come in. The hall is spacious, so ar-
ranged that ventilation is readily ad-
justed.

The effort will be to make this a
great popular show. The trolley lines
come to the corner from all the sur-
rounding country. The effort is be-
ing made to put out a prize list of
value. The American Rose Society
asks of all its friends support for the
prize list.

The Annual Bulletin for 1912 will
be mailed by Christmas and contains
much matter of interest. The Carna-
tion Society exhibits in the same hall
at the same time.

We would be glad to hear from any
and all intending exhibitors at an early
date. The Detroit people will do all
possible to aid the exhibition.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GAR-
DENERS.

A meeting of the executive commit-
tee of the National Association of
Gardeners was held in Horticultural
Hall, Philadelphia, on Tuesday, the
Hith inst., to complete arrangements
for the forthcoming convention at
Madison, N. J., on Friday, October
27th.

The convention will be called to or-
der at 2 o'clock in the James Building.
As this is the first convention since
the association has been incorporated
important business will come up,
principally the adoption of a new
set of by-laws to conform with the
charter. An election of officers will
also occur, and several subjects will be
brought up looking to the future wel-
fare of this organization, which has
been making rapid strides within the
past year.

It is expected that J. K. M. L. Far-
quhar, of Boston, will address the con-
vention on the gardeners' opportuni-
ties in this country; and J. Otto Thi-
low, of Philadelphia, has also prom-
ised to talk. Charles H. Totty of Mad-
ison, who has just been appointed
chairman of the National Flower Show-
Committee will talk to the gardeners
to urge them to lose no time in pre-
paring for the next national show,
which it is expected and hoped will be
held in New York City in March, 1913.

A large attendance is looked for, and
as the annual show of the Morris
County Gardeners' and Florists' So-
ciety occurs in Madison at the same
time and place, an additional feature
of interest is added to bring many
gardeners together.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF
NEW YORK.

The annual fall exhibition will be
held in the American Museum of Nat-
ural History, November 3rd to 7th. A
premium list carrying about $1,500 has
been prepared. A little over one-third
of this amount is allotted to the chrys-
anthemum, covering bush, standard,
grafted and single-stem plants, and
cut flowers. Orchids have been pro-
vided for by many prizes for collec-
tions, novelties, individual plants in
bloom and cut flowers. Roses, carna-
tions, fruits and vegetables, and foli-
age and decorative plants are included
in the premiums.

Prizes are offered for decorations
and floral pieces, and it is hoped that
those who make a business of such
decorative work will take advantage
of the opportunities offered at this
exhibition. Thousands of people who
appreciate to the full this class of
work visit the exhibition.

The American Museum of Natural
History, not only one of the finest pub-
lic buildings in New York City but
also in the world, is centrally located
and readily accessible by surface cars,
elevated and subway. The spacious
halls are admirably adapted to the
exhibition of plants and flowers and
provide ample opportunity for the
proper display of specimen plants; if
such are crowded together much of
the beauty of individual specimens is
lost.

Schedules will be sent upon applica-
tion to the secretary, George V. Nash,
New York Botanical Garden, Bronx
Park, New York City.

NATIONAL CHRYSANTHEMUM SO-
CIETY.

It is indicative of the severity o£ the
summer heat in England this year, a
rather uncommon occurrence, that at
the last floral meeting of the National
Chrysanthemum Society there was not
a small flower staged for adjudication.
On October 4th and 5th the society's
first show of the season was held at
the Crystal Palace, Sydenham— the
show devoted to the early-flowering
varieties— and here again we had
abundant evidence of the effect of an
almost tropical summer upon our pop-
ular autumn flower. The great trade
groups were lacking in their usual at-
tractiveness, a feature not to be won-
dered at when we say that after the
hot season was over and only three
days before the show a biting frost
came to make the disaster complete.

In the great miscellaneous groups so
grandly contributed by the trade and
which always do so much for the gen-
eral effect of the show we noticed par-
ticularly one from Norman Davis.
For effect it was unique and unsur-
passed, the greatest taste being dis-
played in its arrangement. Verbal de-
scription would be of little avail. In
the back row were some fine sheafs of
brightly colored Michaelmas daisies
at intervals arranged in tall supports.
Here and there palms lent variety.
The front row was edged with choice
greenery. Along the middle were some
vases of handsome big blooms set up
with a delicate arrangement of au-
tumn foliage. At the right and left-
hand sides choice little lots of earlies
and decoratives. The piece de resist-
ance of the entire composition was un-
questionably a magnificent stand of
fifteen colossal blooms of White
Queen, set up with a taste seldom
equalled. Here and there we notice
charming little lots of earlies of me-
dium size, while to give emphatic ex-
pression there were some fine vases
of the "Big Brigade," such as Tom
Edwards, Norman Davis, D. B. Crane,
Col. Converse, David Ingamells, etc.
A gold medal was awarded.

H. J. Jones' lot was Al. In big
Japs White Queen reigned supreme,
there being three grand lots in a
daintv setting of an immense collec-
tion "of brightly colored Michaelmas
daisies. Another gold medal went to
this old friend of the society.

William Wells was there too in full
force. A fine long table display of un-
doubted merit brought him the award
of the society's gold medal. Big Jap
blooms, singles, earlies, decoratives,
phlox, and Aster amellus, etc., made
a fine show. We cannot name the va-
rieties— their name was legion — but
White Queen again was of immense
size and as with the other exhibitors
is evidently a rare "doer."

Frank Brazier had a large silver gilt
medal for Michaelmas daisies, a pret-
tily arranged group. A large silver
medal was awarded to Cragg, Harrison
& Cragg for a nice collection of early
decoratives.

.1. Carter & Co. had a silver gilt
medal for a very excellent collection
of dahlias set up upon a circular stand.
Kochias and asters formed the lowest
outer edge, then came cactus dahlias,
surmounted with vases of peony dah-
lias. On the ground floor the exhibit
was edged with green moss. A silver

medal was awarded to J. B. Riding for
a collection of the collarette dahlias,
mostly French. Arthur Edwards
staged table and room decorations and
in the floral art classes there were
many nice lots in baskets, vases,
eperques, and stands of various kinds.
In the dinner table decorations were
about twelve competitors.

WESTCHESTER AND FAIRFIELD
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Regular meeting held in Royal Ar-
canum Hall, Stamford, Conn., October
13, 100 members being present, eight
new members elected and five applica-
tions for membership. A good rec-
ord? There was an interesting dis-
cussion on the preventive of rust on
celery and the beauty and value of
berried shrubs at this time of year.
The first annual exhibition will be
held in Stamford, Conn., November
3rd and 4th. Members are enthusi-
astic and indications all point to a
large and successful exhibition. Presi-
dent Stuart urged intending exhibi-
tors to try to be prompt in staging
exhibits. The final schedule and tick-
ets are ready and can be procured by
applying to the secretary.

The judges reported as follows on
exhibits:

Cultural certificates to James Stuart for
nerines and Alex. Geddes for seedling car-
nation. Certificate of merit to A. Yv bit-
law for haemanthus. Vote of thanks to
Robt Williamson for collection of berried
shrubs, P. W. Popp for chrysanthemums
J. T. Burns for apples. Clapboard Hill
Farm for celery and apples.

J. B. McARDLE, Sec'y.

FRENCH CHRYSANTHEMUM SO-
CIETY.
The 16th congress of this society
will be held on October 26 to 29, at
Biarritz, in conjunction with an inter-
national horticultural show to be or-
ganized by the local society. The fol-
lowing questions are on the agenda
paper for discussion; a pocket edition
of the Color Chart, Best Time for Tak-
ing the Buds, Insects and Diseases,
Manures for Chrysanthemums, Influ-
ence of Salts of Magnesia on Chrys-
anthemums, Classification of Chrys-
anthemums.

PENNSYLVANIA HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

The regular monthly meeting was
held on the 17th inst.; matters pertain-
ing to the fall show mostly. Some
magnificent blooms of the new white
chrysanthemum, Mrs. David Syme,
were exhibited by Samuel Batchelor—
for which he was awarded first prize.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW COM-
MITTEE.
The National Flower Show Commit-
tee appointed by President George
Asmus held a meeting in New York
at the office of Traendly & Schenck
last Monday. There were present:
Messrs. C. H. Totty, chairman; W. P.
Craig, W. A. Manda and Thomas Ro-
land. Messrs. Valentine and Rudd
were absent. The session was de-
voted to a general discussion of the
ways and means and outlook for the
proposed exhibition in New York City
in 1913. An inspection of the new
Grand Central Palace was made. This
building gives over 76,000 square feet
of exhibition space exclusive of aisles,
etc., but the space is divided into
three floors. The general sentiment
in the meeting was that the time is
already very short in which to get
the preliminary work under way and
immediate activity is imperative.

NEWPORT HORTICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.

A much admired rose exhibit was the
feature of the meeting of this society
on the evening of Oct. 10. Charles H.
Totty of Madison, N. J., showed a vase
of the new yellow rose "Sunburst."
The exhibit contained fifty excellent
flowers on long stems making a very
attractive vase which on being exam-
ined bv a committee was awarded a
silver medal, the highest award of the
society. Mr. Totty also showed a vase
of his new white carnation Wodenethe.
which was awarded a first-class certifi-
cate. W. E. Tricker, manager for Mr.
Totty, was in charge of the exhibits
and 'favored the meeting with a very
interesting talk on roses.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

The North Shore Horticultural So-
ciety will hold a Chrysanthemum
Show, October 25th and 26th, at the
Town Hall, Manchester, Mass.

The Executive Committee of the Na-
tional Sweet Pea Society of America
will meet at the Parker House, Boston,
on Saturday, November 4th, at 12
o'clock. W. Sim, Pres.; H. A. Bun-
yard, Secy.

Asbury Park, N. J., is to have a new
and very desirable attraction next
month in the form of a chrysanthe-
mum show at the Casino. The prepa-
rations are now being made by Pub-
licity Director Deanegar, with the en-
thusiastic support of the Elberon Hor-
ticultural Society.

The Milwaukee Florists' Club will
put up an elaborate show at the Audi-
torium this fall. From the local daily
papers we learn that the ground plan
shows a carefully arranged, systematic
and symmetrical design, with winding
walks, oddly shaped plants of green-
sward, fountains, terraces, hedges,
floral pyramids, pergolas, vined walls
and rustic ledges. The stage will be
terraced and hedged according to a
unique idea, copied from a natural
scene in the Vermont hills. A central
walk, broad and straight in its lines,
except at the center, where a circular
plot with a rustic music conservatory
breaks the regularity of the lines,
leads to the plateau to the north.
The walk passes through the rustic
structure and continues to the hedged
terrace. Walks circle the conserva-
tory, and avenues lead to the east and
west, passing pyramids of blooming
plants.

MONUMENT TO ERNEST CALVAT.
We notice that the subscription list
to raise funds for erecting a monument
to the memory of the great French
chrysanthemum raiser, Calvat, now
reaches the sum of $266. The list has
b( en opened for a long time and has
been slow in reaching that figure.

Hartford, Conn.— A. • W. Vibberts
has purchased the Bennett estate
greenhouses and will make additions
and improvements.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

P. C. Bauer of Govanstown, Md.. was
in town last week visiting his brother,
Otto Bauer, of the Washington Flor-
ists' Company.

S. F. Hdlland has opened a new
st i ii> at Kighteenth street and Colum-
bia road, N. W. Mr. Holland was for-
merly located at Fourteenth street and
Park road.

The death of Justice Harlan of the
Supreme Court of the United States
called for some very artistic floral de-
signs and added much to the activity
of the week. Aside, however, from
the commercial feature, his death was
deeply regretted by many of the flor-
ists, as Justice Harlan had many
friends among the trade.

The Washington Florists' Company,
Eleventh and F streets, N. W., showed
some very choice baskets of cut flow-
ers last week. The baskets were filled
with Killarney roses and purple asters.
Golden Gate "roses and asters formed
another combination. The display was
commented upon in the shopping col-
umn of a local newspaper.

The trade is warned against a new
counterfeit ten dollar bill which has
made its appearance. The bill bears
the check letter "F," and the names
of Charles H. Treat and W. T. Vernon
as treasurer of the United States and
register of the treasury, respectively.
It is of the series of 1902-8 and is
drawn on the Crocker Bank of San
Francisco.

A device for the plucking of flow-
ers is among the recent inventions.
This article consists of a tube con-
nected to a pair of shears. At one
end of the tube is a forked shape pare
which slips beneath the flowers, hold-
ing them rigid, while a blade traveling
beneath the fork cuts the stem, drop-
ping the blossom into the tube and
thence to a basket, or other receptacle,
attached thereto.

Washington florists will be repre-
sented at the post-season champion-
ship baseball games being held be-
tween New York and Philadelphia by
two staunch fans in the persons of
Mr. Z. D. Blackistone and Mr. Milton
Thomas, the latter a member of the
firm of Thomas & Slye of the Center
Market. These -gentlemen are visiting
both cities and will incidentally take
a peep at the way out of town florists
are handling their trade, etc.

Harry L. Robcy, with A. B. Garden,
Anacostia, D. C, has joined the ranks
of the benedicts, having taken as his
bride Miss Isabella Davidson. The
ceremony was a very quiet one, and
the news of the wedding, which was
performed at the Garden home, was a
very great surprise to the friends of
both participants. A family reception
followed. Mrs. Robey is the daughter
of Mr. John Davidson of Shannelton
Ord, Bamffshire, Scotland, and a niece
of the Gardens.

Mr. and Mrs. William F. Gude last
week celebrated the fifteenth anniver-
sary of their wedding. Cards had been
sent out announcing that they would
be "at home," but no mention was
made as to the occasion. It leaked
out. however, and Mr. and Mrs. Gude
were the recipients of fifty or more
very handsome presents. The florists
of Washington presented them with a

Charles Lenker and House of Robinson Chrysanthemums, Freoport, N. Y.

magnificent cut-glass punch bowl and
the Board of Directors of the Lincoln
National Bank marked the day with a
most exquisite piece of cut glass in the
shape of an "American Beauty" vase.
Upwards of five hundred people called
during the day. Their home at 3900
New Hampshire avenue was beauti-
fully decorated with cut flowers.

CLARENCE L. LINZ.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

Some excellent Chatenay are com-
ing in from John Burton, who has
two houses of this rose.

The annua! fall show of the Penn-
sylvania Horticultural Society is
scheduled for Nov. 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Copies of the premium list may be had
from the secretary.

We welcome back home this week,
those genial knights of the road,
Arthur Zirkman and Robert Schoch.
They both seem to stand the strain
of the strenuous life pretty well.

John E. Scalley of M. Rice & Co,
made his maiden trip among the Phila-
delphia retailers last week. From all
accounts the youngster did well as
the firm asks your correspondent to
return thanks for the many courtesies
extended to this new field officer of
theirs.

Alexander B. Scott thinks that the
Killarney blood will be the basis of
nearly all the good commercial cut-
flower roses of the future. What
Fisher did for the carnation may be
paralleled by Dickson in the rose.
Both struck a great strain and there
is no telling how far-reaching the in-
fluence.

The Rice Standard Cycas seems to
be taking well in all parts of the
country. This is a great improvement
over the ordinary painted natural
frond — in fact, it is absolutely natural
— while the invisible process has made
it fadeless. We are told that the Rice
people control the entire output of
this new process.

There were doings at the National
Farm School on the 15th. This was
the program in part:

Speakers — Dr. Harvey W. Wiley,
chief chemist of the department of
agriculture, Washington, D. C; Hon.

Edwin S. Stuart, former governor of
the state of Pennsylvania; Hon. Har-
ry Cutler, member of the Rhode Island
Legislature of Providence, R. I.; Rev.
Louis B. Michaelson, Trenton, N. J.;
Rev. Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, founder
and president of the school; reports by
the president and directors of the
school and officers elected; an exhibit
of farm products.

The Henry F. Michell Co. has been
so encouraged with the success of
their free lectares during last winter
that they are announcing a series of
seven to be given during the winter of
1911-12, the first on Oct. 23d, by
Maurice Fuld on "The Potting of
Bulbs, as Done by the Amateurs."

The management believes that these
lectin es are a step in up-to-date busi-
ness, and the attendance, which has al-
ways been above the average, shows
they are appreciated by the public

These lectures have been planned
to cover almost the entire sphere of
the business, such as gardening by
amateurs, by farmers and truckers, by
florists and flower growers and raisers
of poultry. A special lecture, exclu-
sively for florists, has been arranged
for November, and further particulars
will be announced later. Programs
for the entire series will be ready at
the first lecture and distributed widely
among those who are interested.

Visitors: Will. Rehder, Wilmington,
N. C. ; Mrs. C. Kaizer, Fort Washing-
ton, Pa.; Z. D. Blackistone, Washing-
ton, D. C. ; Mrs. John A. Cook, Bever-
ly, N. J.

Lancaster, Pa. — Julius P. Siebold, 924
E. Orange street, writes HORTICUL-
TURE that the two houses he is build-
ing are 26x108, abutting the old houses
built five years ago. The new houses
are of semi-iron construction, with
concrete side walls and are about ready
for glazing. He is so well pleased
with the new houses that in another
year or so he expects to rebuild the old
houses in the same manner. A va-
ried line of stock is grown inside and
in the field, all for the wholesale trade.
A quarter acre of salvia Zurich and
Bonfire, made a glowing display this
season.

A DAHLIA GROWER.

A number of Hartford's dahlia lov-
ers made a pleasant journey last week
to the large dahlia fields of John H.
Sloeombe, who is a successful grower
of dahlias and who has originated
many beautiful new varieties of this
grand autumn flower. Over three hours
were spent by the visitors in inspect-
ing the beautiful show and J. W.
Adams published in the Hartford
Times an enthusiastic account of
what they saw which should give a
good lift to the interests of the dahlia
and particularly as represented by Mr.
Sloeombe among the public of that sec-
tion.

In answer to inquiries by the visit-
ors as to his methods of treating
dahlias (which have blossomed so
sparingly in Hartford this season), he
said he had no special way, except to
mulch the ground around the plants.
But the secret is evidently in the lo-
cation and soil. Although on high
ground the soil of Mr. Slocombe's
place is moist and the field is pro-
tected on two sides by long stretches
of alder, a small, clear stream
bordering it on one side, and the cool;
damp breezes from the harbor seem
to be just what the plants need to
make them thrive.

|]T PRUDENCE is of
^ more frequent use than
any other intellectual qual-
ity; it produces vigilance
rather than elevation,
rather prevents loss than
procures advantages; and
keeps a man on the safe
side, inducing him to make
a permanent investment,
rather than a temporary
speculation. A man need
not be a miser to be pru-
dent— a prudent man is
one who is thoughtful and
has the ability to foresee
what is sensible, and then
follow his own conclusions.
Especially should a man
be prudent in buying lily
bulbs because it costs no
more to force good bulbs
than inferior ones, and
since the real profit is not
on the bulbs themselves,
but on the prolific qualities
of the bulbs ; how costly
inferior bulbs actually are
must be manifest to all
who think. The best lily
bulbs you can buy are
none too good, being a
product of nature and sub-
ject to nature's whims, so
buy the best you can get
and you will be doing all
mortal man can do toward
success. Write for prices.

ria, the large grower and exporter of
natural grass seeds, is now repre-
sented by McHutchison & Co., 17 Mur-
ray street, New York, who can furnish

Seed Trade

W. H. Grenell of Pierrepont Manor,
N. Y. and Saginaw, Mich., has, after
many efforts and changes of mind, de-
cided to sell his seed stock and quit
the seed growing business for a time
at least. He has sent out a circular
letter offering a large proportion of
his seed stocks. His aim, we are in-
formed, is to sell enough to realize
JIOO.OOO to $125,000, and reserve just
enough to grow, sufficient to get into
business again two years hence, as he
will accept no contracts for crop of
1912. In view of the fact that Mr.
Grenell claims to have a seed stock ag-
gregating 25,000 to 30,000 bushels of
peas and beans, he should quite readily
be able to realize at prevailing values
$100,000 and have a very respectable
nest egg left with which to develop a
future seed stock. Mr. Grenell's large
seed stock will indicate quite clearly
the volume of business lie has been
doing, and the sudden elimination of
20,000 bushels from an already too
small volume of seed is cause for anx-
iety among the large users of peas,
both canners and seedsmen.

For several years it has been in-
creasingly apparent that the seed
stocks of peas were not keeping pace
with the ever growing demand, and
particularly in view of the well-nigh
crop failures of the past three years.
The villiauous seasons have been par-
ticularly disastrous to peas in this
country and Canada, and in fact we
may not inappropriately include
Europe, where nearly all seed crops
have been as disappointing as peas. In
this country the repeated crop failures
have discouraged and disgusted the
growers to such an extent that a very
large percentage of them will not
listen to a proposition to grow peas at
any prices, while those who can be
persuaded, demand what appear now
like prohibitive prices, ranging from
75c. to $1.25 per bushel over last year.
Owing to the increased prices which
growers have had to pay the farmers,
and coupled with the increased cost
of doing business, they have found it
necessary to advance prices to seeds-
men and canners from year to year
until they have protested most strenu-
ously, and many have threatened to
grow their own seed. This threat is
largely empty, as it will first be neces-
sary for them to secure seed stocks,
then it would be interesting to know
by what process of reasoning they
figure out that tbey would get crops
where the seed grower fails. The
fact that these persons are disappoint-
ed and disgusted is not to be wondered
at, but the seed growers could wish
them no worse business fate, than the
kind of luck that has fallen to them
for the past four or five years.

The present outlook is the most dis-
heartening the glowers have ever
faced, and it requires abounding faith
to see any silver lining on this cloud.
It is no wonder Mr. Grenell has de-
cided to sell out, provided he does not
repent of his decision. He will be able
to see more real money than the
growing of peas would bring him in
many years.

ever since, and is now their general

this nicely bound book of fifty pages
informs us that it is a complete treat-

perusal of its pages verifies the claim
and we do not hesitate to commend it
as a most excellent help to anyone
desiring practical knowledge on the
subject of bulb culture indoors or in

classes of bulbs and tubers are given
attention under "Specific Cultures."

Almost every store in the down-

do and how not to do things. For
how not to do, note the lack of varia-

Flower Market Reports

This market shows a de-
BOSTON cidedly downward trend,

due very largely to the
influx of chrysanthemums, which in
the past few days have been accumu-
lating and now show every indication
of an imminent glut. Quality is good
and variety is widening. Then carna-
tions, unfortunately, are moving along
towards a full crop and the combina-
tion is more than the market is able to
bear without weakening. Roses are in
abundant supply also. Prices have
dropped but even at the lower figures
they are not moving very readily.
Lilies are rather on the short side.
Violets fairly abundant but rather
poor so far this year. Altogether the
market seems lacking in ambition.

The Chicago market is
CHICAGO in very good condition.
There is plenty of stock
without being an oversupply in any
line except for a day or two. Chrysan-
themums of the medium grade are a
possible exception to this, not being
up to the standard in quality. Those
who have a large shipping trade find
it difficult to dispose of them and in
some places an accumulation is seen.
One of the largest growers says the
sales of large quantities of first-class
chrysanthemums is not up to the aver-
age October on account of the out-
door flowers, which are still in excel-
lent condition. Salvia is exceptionally
good and affords material for house
decorations. Cosmos and dahlias, the
latter coming in quantities from Mich-
igan, and gladioli are all playing their
part in the total sales. Violets, both
doubles and singles, are more in evi-
dence than desirable. The best ones
sell, but prices are weak. Sweet peas
are also here and like violets appear
to have arrived too early for best
results. Carnations are of excellent
quality and inclined to be scarce so
that price went up to three and four
dollars on Saturday and Sunday, but
dropped again on Monday as stock
came in more plentifully. First-class
green of all kinds is in. Some very
fine asparagus sprays are now coming
from the south.

The demand is hold-
CINCINNATI ing up steadily and
growing day by day.
The supply of some lines is scarcely
able to meet this demand while others,
such as fall flowers are more than
sufficient. Cosmos and dahlias are
offered in very large quantities and
the quality is so good that one call for
them is better than at any other time
in past years. They also tend to keep
down the price of the smaller chrysan-
themums. Roses are all of most ex-
cellent quality and clean up quickly
every day. The supply of pink is
somewhat shorter than that of white.
In carnations the amount offered and
the call for the same is about "horse
and horse." The white and Enchan-
tress predominate in numbers. On
Monday of this week a large shipment
of asters came into the market. Many
of them were taken up at once. The
lily market is tight. Chrysanthemum
offerings include white, yellow and
pink of all sizes and all have been
finding a tolerably good market. The
call for lily of the valley and cattley-
as is good. The green goods line is

well supplied and enjoying a steady
call. Snipping business is good.

A good supply and a
DETROIT brisk demand have cre-
ated good feeling among
both the wholesalers and retail deal-
ers. Chrysanthemums are coming in
more freely and while the weather is
not cold enough to make quick sales

in them they clean up well at good
prices. Notwithstanding several de-
partment store sales of ferns offering
Amerpohli plants at 10 cents each,
florists are experiencing much demand
for Boston fern and its varieties at
♦ prices which have prevailed for years
past.

Flower Market Reports.

(C—tfinu4d from fact 573)

The cut Bower Bup-
NEW YORK ply is rather top-
heavy this week and
.slocks are moving reluctantly. Chrys-
anthemums are rapidly taking the
place soon to be vacated by the dah-
lias a.s monopolizers of the counter
space in the wholesale markets and as
has been tin case every year, are car-
rying everything else down to ;i lower
li \<1 of value than reported last week.
Roses are abundant in all varieties and
also in all grades, particularly the in-
terior grades, and for the latter there
is not much • ncouragement in the im-
mediate outlook. Carnations, which
are beginning to assert themselves and
are really good in quality are natural-
ly mixed up ii- 1 In' ■■■ 11 1 1 1 1 ] 1 [ 1
which seems unavoidable. The buyer
makes the price just now.

A general uplifting
PROVIDENCE has marked the lo-
cal market condi-
tions during the past week and the
Increase in the supply oi stock has
been encouraging. With the increase in
the supplj irresponding improve-

ment has been noted in the quality and
th demand has strengthened consid-
erably. Chrysanthemums of a very
good quality were shown this week and
the choice flowers brought from $1" to
$11 per 100. Carnations have im-
proved both in quality and price since
the last week, the best grades bringing
from %1 to $3 per 100. Roses remain
in large quantities. There have been
many Richmonds on the market this
week selling from $8 to flO. Violets
are very plentiful at 50 cents per 100.
Lily of the valley and orchids are very
scarce, with little demand because of
the lofty prices.

The market is in a
WASHINGTON somewhat better
condition, fall wed-
dings and various society events call-
ing for a goodly supply of choice ma-
terial, although everyone is hoping for
the speed] death of all out-door stock.
The market is flooded with dahlias in
all varieties and myriads of cosmos.
For these there is a much smaller de-
mand than output. Violets are com-
ing in better. Rhinebecks and those
grown locally are meeting with ready
sale. Lily of the valley and yellow
chrysanthemums are moving very well
as is also Adiantum hybridum, but
smilax is in little demand. Roses
move along as well as they have been
doing and are quite plentiful. Cattle-
yas are in better demand and there

are enough gardenias grown locally to
accommodate all calls. American
Beauty roses, grown within the Dis-
trict of Columbia, are in exceptionally
fine form. Richmonds are better and
meeting with a ready demand. Carna-
tions are much better than they have
been although, of course, there is con-
siderable room for their improvement.
The condition of the weather has been
so unsettled that the sale of flowers
for personal adornment does not quite
come up to expectations; in fact, the
on may be considered quite back-
ward.

The wholesale markets
ST. LOUIS have had plenty of

everything in season
and prices away down from those
usual at this season, prevail. Western
ne 11 have not been any too busy and
when trade is dull do not lay in quite
so large a stock only when they can
buy it cheap. Chrysanthemums are
increasing in number.

NEWS NOTES.

Marseilles, III. — The Marseilles Cem-
etery Association has been dissolved.

Springfield, Ohio — The Springfield
Cut Flower Co. will occupy the store
recently vacated by H; N. Siegen-
thaler.

Providence, R. I. — Frederick B. Lu-
ther has closed his greenhouses on
Atlantic avenue and contemplates
building a range at Norton, Mass.

PROVIDENCE NOTES.

The Providence Wholesale Flower
Market made a successful opening in
its new home on Washington street
Oct. 16, and the trade for the first day-
was considered very fair. John S. Kel-
ly, formerly with John F. Wood of this
city, has been appointed manager. As
heretofore the retailers have had their
supply brought to their door it will
take some time to educate them to visit
the wholesale market. Much encour-
agement has been given the promoters,
for on each succeeding day the volume
of trade has increased, and within
three days retailers from places a
as Fall River and Woonsocket have
visited the market and placed good
orders.

X. 1> Pierce of Norw I, It. 1.. man-
ager of the Norwood Floral Company,
suffered a painful injury last
while directing work in the nursery,
when a heavy board fell on his foot
inflicting bad bruises.

J^JjwthLm,

When you can buy a genuine greenhouse boiler made from top to bottom especially for green-
house work — then why under heaven don't you buy it ? What's the use of trying to make
yourself believe that a boiler originally designed for residence heating can possibly give the height
of economy for greenhouse work? You know the conditions are absolutely different. The
residence boilers*were designed to do heating with small pipes in a vertical position where rapid
circulation is an easy thing.

Now put such a boiler to work in a greenhouse to do it economically without forcing. And forcing

with horizontal piping and with a large mass of a boiler means not only shortening its life, but you

water to move and you have an entirely different also drive a surprising amount of heat out the

proposition — the residence boiler has not the power chimney. Heat that costs you hard dollars.

So go careful !

Make sure you are buying a Cast Iron
Sectional Greenhouse Boiler made
especially for greenhouse work.

The Burnham is that kind.

ROOT PB1 6TING

At tin- season ol i a early-forced fruit houses

present a rather dismal appearance — cold, nothing

force of the hos • across them, each morning-, the

autumn tints on the foliage of vines proclaiming that
fall is with us. Now, from the inexpi should

to hear such remarks as "Nothing doing here,"
or "What desolate houses." To the grower, however,
this i- on( irtani times of the year, for

ae along now that much of next sea-
son's crop depends. Once active growth commences
little can be done to the borders, so all must be put
right now. Peach and nectarine trees having shown
oj too much rool ai tion should now be root-pruned.
| ; iplies especially to young trees. Finding them-

in a newly i irder, with lots of room to

roam in, as compared with what they have been used
ey invariably "lei it go" and as fall comes on we
find we have a quantitj of very strong growths to deal
with. To cut this away without interfering with the
rool action would only invite still stronger wood for
car. consequently root pruning must be resorted
to.

Vague idea- apparently exist with some as to the
od of procedure and al-o of the object of root
pruning. As we were proceeding to get around a peach
30ns ago we were asked if the trench was
Idled in with manure! In another instance we
were told we were killing the trees, which proved to be
anything hut true. Trees can receive a very severe
check by overdoing the root-pruning and will lose their
i- crop in consequence. The advantages out-
weigh all these drawbacks when it is properly done
and no Loss of time or crop should ensue. Old estab-
, trees which carried a full crop may not need
pruning. Be governed by the wood grown during the
on. The safesl time to proceed i- a- soon as

than a bruise. Spread the roots out evenly over the
surface and cover with soil ramming the whole firm
and even. Take care that the roots are not left ex-
posed for any length of time. Should they have to be
left out over-long s|ua\ them and cover with old bags
or blankets to keep them moist. Suckers can be traced
down to their origin and taken off close to the root.
Some roots are continually sending these suckers up
and they are best amputated. If the tree has been sub-
jected to a severe pruning and few fibrous roots are left,
give a soaking of water and keep it syringed morning
and noon in fine weather. Syringing will be beneficial
on bright mornings during the whole dormant season
as ii keeps tin' hud- soft and plump.

ODTSIDE VINE BOK1H BS

Outside vine borders are beneficial for late houses,
keeping colder in the spring and consequently growth
is deferred a- late as possible. These will now have a
crop of ripe fruit hanging and the roots will be active
for awhile and needing protection from frost- and rain.
A good thick layer of leaves spread over the top and
covered with straw litter to prevent the wind from
removing them will answer the purpose well. Shutters
or -pare sash can be placed over this to run off the rain
as a preventive to cracking berries. An outside border
lying wet and cold will often cause berries to crack or
otherwise go wrong.

WORK IN THE GARDEN

With the approach of winter there is much prepara-
tion to be made in the kitchen garden. Much of course
depends on the locality. Eoots will have to be stored,
celery protected so as to make winter digging possible
ami a quantity stored for immediate use. Globe arti-
chokes will need protection to carry them through the
winter. Asparagus for forcing must not he allowed to
freeze too far down. Some frost, into it is essential for
good forcing. Leaves and other rubbish will accumu-
late and should he burnt preparatory to digging and
trenching.

MUSHROOMS

Beds made up the first week in September will now
be cropping. The atmospheric temperature has the
greatest effect on the quality of mushrooms. Houses
or cellars which are too warm never produce the thick-
d specimens one finds in a cellar having a normal
temperature providing other conditions are right. This
i- the one great factor, as the life of the bed depends
on it. After the -pawn has run. bottom beat is not so
essential as proper aerial heat. A temperature of 50
i5 produces the besl quality mushrooms and will
he bed going well. Never adv: more by artifi-
cial means; rathei b< on the cool side. A mushroom
nould not require watering until in an advanced
; each time water is applied a quantity of the
small fungi are lost, rotting oil' in the soil. Beds
should not be allowed to dry right out. or the crop will
l>e checked. Aim to beep them moist amping

walls, walk- ami surface occasionally without soaking
i he bed. When watering is necessary use it at a tem-
perature of 65 to In and soak the bed through.

in particular are more fu] ' rei iated on the ol her

side and the various nurserymen, who are largely re-
sponsible for their popularization, have been quicker to
real e I heir value.

The opinion is often expressed that the climate is

i 'e temperate and suitable in Europe than here, bul

this is really nut the case so far as the varieties men-

i: >l are concerned; in fact, exactly the opposite ob

tains. Owing in tli«' brighter summers ami better gen
eral conditions foi ripening the wood all hardy decidu-
ous trees ami shrubs flower and fruit much more freely
here. In parks ami open spaces where sufficient space
i- at command the practise of grouping many of these
deciduous flowering shrubs has much to commend it as
much finer effects are produced h\ massing one variety
than by planting a single spei imen. Win good exam-
ples of this method mm ho seen in the Arnold Arbor-
etum ami throughout the Boston Pari System.

The Sorbaria secti >f the Spiraeas contributes

largely to the number of fall-flowering varieties, ami
these have recently received two important additions
from China, viz.: S. arborea and S. arborea var.
glabrata. Although these two are in general respects
similar the species is easily distinguished from its va-
riety, being clothed with short hairs on the underside of
tin' leaves. These both produce a large inflorescence of
white flowers at the termination "I' the season".- growth.
Sorbaria Aitchisoni, a native of Afghanistan, i- a very
handsome species growing f>rom eight to ten feet in
i with dark red stems and white flowers. S. as-
surgens, sorbifolia and stellipila should also be included.
All the Sorbarias are largi growing shrubs with fine
pinnate foliage ami require but little attentii
that some of tli'' "id wood can be removed occasionally.

eus discolor, a native ol \ W. America, which pro-
duces large numbers o e racemes of creamy white

promising new varieties among Mr. Wilson's <
mi roductions.

in this locality, more or less herbaceous in character, this
i- no drawback to them as thej both --row freely from
the base and make eonsph nous hit fall. Hibiscus

syriaeus and its numerous varieties are among the best
of shrubs for planting in sunny position- as they are
able to withstand a con di rable drought and never fail
to produce a wealth of blossom. Very little attention
is required, and in a few years they make good spei imi d
bushes from six to eight feet in height. Among the
numerous varieties there is a wide selection of color.
some of the most desirable being totus albus, Lady Stan-
ley. Hamabo, paeoniflora, purpurea and violacea.

A considerable number of Spiraea- flower during the
late summer and autumn and the dwarfer growing sorts
are specially valuable, producing masses of color. Spi-
raea Japonica and it- m rous varietes are thi

desirable and these all grow from two to four feet in
height, with quantities of flattened flower heads. To
keep them vigorous the old flower stems should be re-
moved at least every two years. Anthony Waterer, a
variety with rich dark red (lowers, is the best, but one
should also include alba Bumalda, ruberrima, tnperba
ami Froebelii.

The shrubby Potentillas are also valuable for group-
ing purposes. P. fruticosa is the best known, with

bright yellow flower.-. Its varietj icier Ira is dwarfer

and the flowers ai and brighter in color. P.

We eon fco our chrysanthemum en-

thusiasts th paper in this issue by Elmer

Smith. It is remarkable how excel-

I'ui Lcational a contribution he

Qualified
to teach

has given us on a subject which, as he truly asserts
.-it i he outset, lias already been treated from all
sides and worn threadbare by repetition. But
thi re i- always something new and useful to be said by
a devoted student and life-long specialist like Mr.

S u. We particularly recommend to the attention of

the grower of chrysanthemums or of anything else the
m i\ sensible closing paragraph of Mr. Smith's paper.
Prompt and intelligent attention to small details is the
great secret of the success of every grower of high re-
pute whose career we have ever had occasion to watch.

That fuss in New Haven over the
Yale's inauguration of a "Flower Agency"
business venture A\ Yale College, under student man-
agement, seems s ething in the

nature of a "tempest in a teapot." While we cannot
blame the New Haven florists for resenting this at-
tempt at interference with their business, yet anyone
acquainted with the exactions of the retail flower trade
a- conducted in these days of keen rivalry and the
peculiar conditions that appertain to dealings with the
student element will readily understand that the ele-
ment of danger to the established trade in the scheme
in quest inn is nothing very serious. We are pleased to
notice that the newspaper comments on the situation
are invariably in sympathy with the florists' interests,
as they should be.

The "Conquest of New England"

Dear Mr. Stewart : — I am very much interested in
the conquest of the surface of the earth. This conquest
is to be accomplished largely by the engineer and the
farmer. Heretofore we have considered the conquest
to lie very largely in the new regions; but now that we
have circumferenced the earth, we begin to realize that
we must effectively conquer the regions that have been
run over in times past. You are now coming to the
real conquest of New England. New England is a
newer country than most of us recognize. The influ-
ence of New England on the nation has not ceased. I
am expecting that it will contribute a very important
part to the re-direction of rural civilization. Therefore,
I am interested very much in your Fruit Show and in
every other enterprise that contributes to the awaken-
ing of a self-sustaining country life in the old states.
Yours very truly.

( 'ornt II I nwersity,
Ithaca. X. Y.

The foregoing characteristic and inspiring communi-
cation from the honored Director of the New York
State College of Agriculture is received with much
gratification.

Two and three generations ago the eyes of the world
were on \> n England for all that was worth seeing and
knowing in advanced fruit culture. Of late year- this
industry in New England has lagged and in the mean-
time the hustler from the far wast lias been doing things.
But V u England's blood is up now, as the unparalleled
apple display in Boston this week well attests. The big.
Far-seeing men in horticulture, like Dr. Bailey, realize
what this mean- and ran discern in the present awaken-
ing the promise of neglected fields and orchards once
made productive and yielding luxuriant and
profitable crops of fruit of matchless quality.

as the portrait shows, and is a de-
cided advance over that sterling old
favorite Eugene Scribe.

Safrano is a Vilmorin production, a
fine and fairly deep yellow, with a
red mark in the throat. The individ-
ual flowers are very fine, but the
straggly character of the spike is

likely to limit its popularity among
gladiolus fanciers.

William Falconer is a fine repre-
sentative of the Childsii type. It can-
nui now be classed as new, but it
still holds its place as one of the very
best pink varieties.

The other one, Irene, is a pink and
white beauty, fine in every way.

PERSONAL.

A. J. Frazer succeeds J. C. H. Hunt-
Icy in charge of the plant of the E.

A WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
On Monday evening, Oct. 23. Mr. and
Mrs. Peter Fisher opened their beauti-
ful home at Ellis, Mass., to their
friends in honor of the twenty-fifth an-
niversary of their marriage. It was a
mest delightful reception and said to
be one of the largest affairs ever held
at a private residence in Norwood.
Friends in the town and friends from a
distance, including many of the lead-
ing floricultural lights of Massachu-
setts filled the spacious reception room
and affectionately clasped the hands of
Boston's famed carnationist and the
charming lady to whose companion-
ship for the past quarter of a century
so much of his success in life is due.
The rooms were decorated in tasteful
manner and a bountiful collation was
served while the orchestra played. Con-
gratulations and hearty good wishes for
twenty-five years more of wedded
bliss.

CATTLEYA X EDWARDI.
We are indebted to Ed. Roehrs, or-
chid expert of Julius Roehrs Co., for
the fine photograph reproduced on our
cover page. Cattleya Edwardi is a
cross between C. Schilleriana and C.
Warscewiczi, a very striking and beau-
tiful flower with conspicuous purple
markings on the white lip, as shown
in the picture. The cross was first
made, we think, by Sander in 1902,
but has been done repeatedly by others
since, including Julius Roehrs Com-
pany, who have fine plants of their
own production as well as those of
foreign origin.

FLORISTS' AND GARDENERS' CLUB
OF RHODE ISLAND.

The regular meeting of the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island
was held on the evening of Oct. 23,
with a good attendance. An import ant
feature of the meeting was the report
hi' b special committee including Wil-
liam Hill, Alexander Macrae and E. A.
Appleton, which in substance was to
the effect that the special appropria-
tlon of the Khode Island Horticulture
Society of $150 for the annual show
will be set aside wholly for premiums
to be competed for by florists. This
report struck a responsive chord, and
many of the florists expressed their
willingness to go in and revive the
show which for the past four or five
years has been sadly lacking in so far
as they were concerned.

The principal topic under considera-
tion at the meeting was the planting
of trees. Many trees were planted in
the public streets of this city during
the past year, and the manner and
season in which it was done, in some
cases, failed to meet with the appro-
hat ion of some of the members of the
club, judging from the nature of their
remarks.

At the next meeting of the club on
Nov. 20, .Michael Sweeney will read a
paper on a topic of special interest to
the members. The annual election
Will also occur on this date.

DETROIT FLORIST CLUB.

The Committee on Fall Flower Show
has sent out the following bulletin:

Dear Friend: Your duly appointed com-

considers itself very fortunate to he

able to arrange your Annual Fall Flower

Exhibit in a much more convenient pi

than the salesroom of the Michigan Cul
Flower Exchange has been in the past.
The Twentieth Century Club, corner
Witherell and Columbia Sts., has offered
us their building, free of charge, for the
purpose of arranging a show on Novem-
ber 14th and 15tb."inil.

While profoundly thankful for the many
favors shown us by the Michigan Cut
Flower Exchange in the past years, we
cannot help but cheerfully grasp the op-
portunity to display our product without
crowding it together within a few square
yards, and at the same time, we can a^k
the public to view our work by paying a
small admission fee.

The name 'Show" is perhaps too large a
name to use because it shall he nothing
but our Annual Fall Exhibition distributed
over o larger space: In other words, this

year will 1 n attempt to creep without

any extra expense to speak of, but simply
:i less, ,n so we may be able to "walk" and
lone a real show in another year.

Prizes to he distributed will be primarily
"Certificates," and the points will be so
arranged that large growers and small
growers have the same opportunity.

Considering that many friends in our
trade as well as outside will be glad to
offer prizes, your committee has decided
to solicit the donations of "Cups" for
which the same rules of competition per-
tain as for the Certificates.

Retailer please observe that several small
rooms are at your disposal in this build-
ing to make any display you desire.
Kindly post this committee as to your
wants at an early date.

All of us remember November 14th and
I5th.

Let us all help together and we are
bound to succeed for the benefit of all.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

J. K. M. L. Farquhar of Boston
gave a practical talk to the Civic As-
sociation of Gloucester, Mass., on
Tuesday night, October 24. on Autumn
Work in the Garden.

The topic for consideration at the
ing of the Horticultural Club of
lloston, November 1. will be New Chi-
nese Plants on which E. H. Wilson
will give an address to be followed by
discussion opened by J. A. Pettigrew
and .las. F. M. Farquhar.

The trade in Detroit are becoming
very enthusiastic over the fall flower
show. November 14 and 15th and every-
thing points to a great success of this,
the first show arranged in ten years
Many cups are being donated locally
as well as by outsiders.

On Monday evening, October 23, J. K.
M. L. Farquhar of Boston addressed
the Connecticut Horticultural Society
at Hartford on the subject of Horticul-
ture in Japan, illustrated with numer-
ous Btereopticon views. The hall was
well filled and the lecturer was given
an ovation.

Chicago florists are looking forward
fo another treat at the next regular
(lull meeting, Nov. 2, which will be
Chrysanthemum Day. Among the
guests expei ted is E. G. Hill of Rich-
mond, Ind., who will be here in the
double capacity of exhibitor and
speaker. He will receive a hearty
well ome.

Among the fine groups at the fall
exhibition of the Lenox (Mass.) Horti-
cultural Society on October 25, that
contributed by Julius Roehrs Co. was

especially admired. Among the or-
chids included was the handsome new
Cattleva labiata var. Lenox, white

CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Rend lief.. re Chicago Kl.irlsts' Club,

October 5th, by Klmer D. Smith.

When I promised your worthy Presi-
dent a paper .on Chrysanthemums, I
did not fully realize the responsibility
thus assumed, or I would have been
more reluctant In accepting his kind
solicitation. Although most of those
present are directly or indirectly inter-
ested in this subject, yet I venture the
large majority do not consider the
volumes that have been written dur-
ing the past decade treating upon
every phase of this important branch
of Floriculture. The trade papers have
from time to time presented excellent
cultural notes, and several books have
been published by able writers, so that
our files are filled with compilations
of exceptional merit, and adequate to
the needs of this vast country.

Confronted by these facts, it would
be the height of folly to attempt to
offer food for thought along new lines.
The tillage has been nearly or quite
complete. And furthermore, this is a
very complicated subject when we con-
sider its diversified interests. For
these reasons it would seem wise to
present only the most important fea-
tures and presuming the majority of
your members are most interested in
commercial cut blooms, I will endea-
vor to give attention to this aspect.
The Early Varieties for Cut Bloom.

Before discussing cultural methods
let us first consider best varieties for
our purpose. As the early kinds are
first on the market, they are naturally
initial in these deliberations. I have
some misgivings in mentioning those
I consider best for this purpose, as it
may appear egotistical on my part in-
asmuch as the earliest White, Yellow
and Pink originated with us. Smith's
Advance and Golden Glow are the earl-
iest white and yellow and may be had
from July onward. Unaka for October
first is the earliest large flowering
pink. There has been considerable
discussion as to the propriety of hav-
ing varieties which mature before the
last of September; this point must be
determined by those engaged in this
industry. Personally, I would not ad-
vise growing in large quantities for
the wholesale market, unless the crop
Is controlled so as to bring them in
about September 15th and later. The
grower who retails his products, may
with impunity provide limited quanti-
ties earlier in the season, and use
them to good advantage.

For early blooms the most important
feature is early planting, and just
when this should be done depends
upon the date they are to be cut.
Smith's Advance and Golden Glow
planted the first of May and buds se-
lected about June 25th should mature
the last half of August Successive
plantings up to early June and secur-
ing the first bud. will give a continued
crop of late October. Unaka, planted
May first with buds secured August 5
to 10, should all be ready to cut the
first half of October. As it is a strong
grower, with stems four feet, incurved
blooms over 6 inches in diameter, and
very similar to Wm. Duckham in color
(possibly a little brighter), it has no
rival as an early pink. At the present
time October Frost and Donatello are
making their appearance. Both are
good to follow Smith's Advance and
Golden Glow, but should be planted in

May or early June to secure best re-
sults.

For October 15th to November 1st
we would plant Oroba, a white coming
In a few days in advance of Ivory, pro-
ducing larger blooms and of a splen-
did sturdy, dwarf habit.

Chrysolora for yellow is unsur-
passed for this period, being larger
than Col. D. Appleton and 15 days
earlier, has stronger stem and of the
best incurved form. Gloria would be
our choice for pink.

These three, like the earlier kinds,
are more satisfactory when planted
fairly early, not later than June 15tb
and secure buds about August 15th,
which should insure the crop cut and
out of the way before the mid-season
or November varieties are ready.

Mid-Season.

This brings us up to the mid-season
varieties which are so numerous, and
in fact there are so many good kinds
to select from it does not seem neces-
sary to mention them. The above re-
marks apply to late flowering section.

Pompons, Anemones and Singles
possess the desired qualities to a de-
gree, and are of special value to those
who retail their cut and cater to the
best trade. They lend grace and
beauty to floral arrangements; in fact,
the best effects can not be attained
without them. The Singles are more
fragile and are not so well adapted
for consignments that necessitate re-
handling.

Soil is the first item to be consid-
ered under head of cultural methods.
Old sods, cut thin, from a moderately
firm soil and piled with one-fifth to
one-sixth their bulk of cow manure,
six months in advance, furnishes the
best material for filling the bench.
Some advocate larger quantity of ma-
nure, but we find the plants do not
need it in their earlier stages of
growth, also the wood is firmer and
ripens better than where nitrogenous
matter is abundant. We prefer giv-
ing food later when the plant is strong
and the roots active.

Those who wish to utilize old soil,
will meet with very good success by
using half new and half old. We pre-
fer placing the new at the bottom of
the bench, and if prepared compost iB
not at hand, fresh cut sods chopped
and put through a soil mixer will
make an excellent substitute.

Planting Time.

As previously stated, the early sorts
should be planted if possible early in
May. We have calls for early varie-
ties late in July, but the fallacy of
such a course is apparent when we
consider that instead of planting they
should be selecting buds.

The mid-season and late fall flowers
will do well if planted in June; it is
true fairly good results are the out-
come when this operation is deferred
to the succeeding month, but the flow-
ers are seldom as large and fine in
finish as those which have had ample
time to develop a strong plant before
selecting the buds.

Early planting in only moderately
rich soil gives the best stem and foli-
age for the commercial grower, name-
ly, smaller leaves on short jointed and
firm wooded stems. With the founda-
tion constructed thorough and com-
plete, the building of the bloom will
practically take care of itself.

From this time on until the buds
appear weeding and watering are the
most urgent matters requiring atten-
tion. Less water will be required dur-
ing the first stages of growth, with
increased quantity as they gain
strength and more foliage.

Time for Taking Buds.

The date for the buds to appear is
governed to a large degree by the cli-
matic conditions. During my visit in
California (the State of many cli-
mates), I was much impressed by the
fact that those portions of the state
enjoying a cool air produce the earl-
iest blooms and the late ones are from
localities more torrid.

At. Dos Angeles I was told the first
in the market come from the growers
near the coast, with the late ones
from the foot-hills of the mountains
only 20 miles distant. No fixed dates
can be given, as they vary according
to the conditions of the weather dur-
ing July and August. The cooler the
earlier and the warmer the later this
change in construction takes place.

On one occasion we had W. H. Chad-
wick immediately follow Ivory and at
other times they have been 60 days
apart. With an average season in this
section, flowers for September are
from buds selected about July 1 to
15; for October, August 1 to 15; for
November, August 25 to September
15; for December, September 20 to
October 10th. The dates given are
only approximate at best as some va-
rieties develop more rapily than
others

The bulk of Chrysanthemums are
planted from June 15th to July 15th,
and those best adapted for this pur-
pose are such as produce perfect
blooms from buds selected from Au-
gust 25th to late September. Many
of the kinds shown at the exhibitions
look beautiful, but are often mislead-
ing to the novice, for when placed un-
der the conditions which usually pre-
vail on commercial places are useless.
It is far better to rely upon the judg-
ment of some competent person, than
to select frofn the show boards unless
you are well versed in these matters.
Light and Nourishment

I am pleased to state that shading
is not practiced as much as in former
years. Sunlight is a prime factor in
producing strong, sturdy growth. A
light shading is, however, highly bene-
ficial to all varieties showing color
before October and it is often neces-
sary to continue later, provided bright
sun prevails and the temperature rises
above normal.

What form of nourishment to supply
is a topic of considerable importance.
Very few growers entirely agree on
this subject. Bone meal, cow, sheep,
and in fact, almost any kind of ma-
nure is beneficial, but their real value
depends upon the amount of plant
food they contain, when considered
in ratio to price paid. All or part of
those mentioned, may be essential in
the production of the very largest
blooms, which find their way to the
exhibitions, but if my object was sole-
ly the production of high grade com-
mercial stock, I would prefer a com-
plete concentrated chemical fertilizer,
say one containing about 50 per cent
plant food. While it costs more per
pound than the natural products, it
will supply nearly 100 times the
amount of the required elements,

namely, nitrogen, potash and
phoric acid. To make this comparison

the other hand, the manure requires
considerable labor to bring it Into such

are placed in a tank of water, and in a
few hours are ready to apply with a
hose and Id the second the material
must either be used in the form of top
dressing or reduced to a liquid before
it is available. I am frank to admit
there is less danger in Injuring a crop
with manure than chemicals, unless
the latter is judiciously applied. Most
of such materials are used too strong.
Ten years ago we were applying at
the rate of one ounce to five or six gal-
lons of water, now the ratio is one to
twenty. Weak solutions are much
easier, affording perfect control.

Varieties of robust constitution
which are usually able to assimilate
more food, can be treated at shorter
intervals, with the soil recommended.

Thirty pounds of such concentrated
chemicals at a cost of less than $10.00

is sufficient for 30.1 to 1". plants.

The labor in preparing manure for
BUch a number would alone far ex-
ceed the figures given.

Insect Control.

There are a tew Insects which mu I
be kept in check, if our plants are
kept in a healthy condition. Aphis are
the most abundant. The past two
years we have used hydrocyanic acid
gas with most satisfactory results. Its
advantages over the various forms of
nicotine are thai it kills every aphis
in the house, and they do not reappear
for a month or more. We have fumi-
gated but three times since the middle
of May and our stock will be clean
into November.

A high grade of cyanide is most
effective and we prefer the sodium to
the potassium form. \V. J. Keimel,
Elmhurst, 111., suggested in one of the
trade papers one pound of Paris green
to five pounds of brown sugar, using
one ounce of this mixture to one gal-
lon of water for thrips. We find this
is equally effective in destroying the
larva of the leaf tyer and does not dis-
color the foliage.

The achievements in floriculture are
not wrought by any one thing we do,
but by the many things given atten-
tion at the proper time, and chrysan-
themums are no exception to this law.
I think all of you will agree with me
that superiority in knowledge is not
as essential as the ability and energy
to attend promptly to every detail,
which are of vital importance in mark-
ing the degrees of our success. Na-
ture provides a way and we endeavor
to assist.

M7[ The advertisements which
jj appear in this column have
all been written by Ralph M
Ward personally. They are
prepared sometimes on the
spur of the moment, perhaps
during his hour ride on the
Reading Railroad every morn-
ing and evening, or whenever
he feels so inclined and in his
various moods. Of course,
some you do not like, and
some you tolerate, and we
have been told some have done
us harm. Those which have
t'one us harm have necessarily
done others good and we are
not so jealous of our competi-
tion as to deny them their
portion of business. Mistakes
are made by Mr. Ward occa-
sionally and sometimes big
ones, but we are working away
just the same, hoping to im-
prove until we reach that age
when we begin to decline, as
all men do, and when that
time comes we want younger
blood to take- the reins; con-
tinue boosting what is right
and make away with the ways
and means of bye-gone days.
Our business is to sell bulbs —
especially lily bulbs — we have
no seed store — we sell whole-
sale only. We import what we
sell direct and our sources of
supply are reliable actual grow-
ers and not merely exporters or
dealers. Our aim is to induce
growers to buy the best and we
discourage the sale of inferior
bulbs — for two good reasons:
first because a grower cannot
succeed in handling inferior
bulbs and secondly a perman-
ent business cannot be built up
in bulbs alone unless one de-
livers the very best that can be
procured. Write for prices on

prices as given in this list. We are
of course, not criticising it in any way,
as we assume that those who formu-
lated these figures are better qualified
to deal with the matter than we are,
but we simply could not help a long
breath when we first beheld these
prices. It is the general opinion of
the trade that abnormally high prices
are unhealthful and likely to produce
demoralization in some form in the
not distant future. One of the usual
results is that every producer will
si lain to the utmost to produce crops
of the very short varieties, with the
result, as has frequently happened, that
in from one to three years an exact
reversal of form has taken place. We
doubt very much if prices will ever
revert to the low levels of ten or fif-
teen years ago, but we certainly look
for a sharp reaction from what in a
sense may be termed "present artifi-
cial values."

An Unusual Request.

In this connection a circumstance
rather unusual thing has come to our
knowledge and one on which the trade
seems to be more or less divided. We
are informed that the representative of
a great European seed house has been
interviewing their customers who have
contracts with them for the crop of
1912 of beets, carrots and other bien-
nials with a view of inducing them to
agree to pay an increase, varying
from 4c. to 5c. per pound over the con-
tract figures agreed upon previously.
The reason for this, it appears, is that
the supply of roots for these crops in
1912 is very short, many of them being
so small that the farmers will not take
the trouble to save and transplant
them unless they receive an additional
price from the seed grower. The lat-
ter firm claims it is not willing to
bear this advance and cannot afford
to; therefore, it has called on all of
its customers to agree to pay the pre-
mium demanded by the farmers, which
so far as we have heard, the seed trade
of this country has unanimously agreed
to do. We do not wish to criticise
this concern, but it would seem to us
that it was rather up to them to pay
the bonus which they are asking the
seed trade to pay for them, and they
could have easily recouped themselves
by the advanced prices which they will
naturally ask during the next two or
three years. However, this matter is
really of only indirect interest.

We have referred already to the
scarcity of seed stocks of peas, and it
would seem to be the part of good en-
lightened business to place contracts
at as early a date as possible for peas.
We have been repeatedly told by well
informed persons in the trade that
there will not be seed stocks enough
to satisfy the demand of the seedsmen
and canners, and those who do not
want to be left at the post should ar-
range for their requirements as soon
as the growers have issued their con-
tracting prices for the 1912 crop. Many
tardy ones had their orders turned
clown last spring, and the same fate
awaits the tardy again this year, only
earlier than usual. We shall try to
continue reporting the latest bulletins
on this subject until the actual situa-
tion becomes known.

entirely, though in some instances a
note informs the dealer that last year's
prices are considered applicable at the
present time; but there is one impor-
tant item which seems to have been
entirely overlooked — that is spinach.
No prices are given and no mention is
made of this item, which we assume
is simply an oversight. We are in-
formed that Lem W. Bowen was elect-
ed a member of the Wholesale Seeds-
men's League at its recent meeting
in New York, also that Mr. Bowen was
elected a director. We think that the
seed trade is to be warmly congratu-
lated in securing the active coopera-
tion of so important a house as D. M.
Ferry & Co.

The Onion Crop.
We have not received information
regarding the total onion crop of the
country thus far this year, but such in-
formation as we have indicates that
there is a heavy shortage which is
fully borne out by the strong prices
now ruling. Very few onions are still
in the first hands — that is, the farm-
ers. Almost all of them have been
bought by the dealers who, whether in
a combination or not, seem to be ship-
ping them to market just fast enough
to keep the appetite keen, without ai
any time causing congestion and the
lowering of prices. This is generally
regarded — that is the high price of
onions — as an exceedingly favorable
sign that onion seed will be in active
demand the coming season. Experience
has shown quite conclusively that
when onions have sold readily at
strong prices there has been active de-
mand for seed. So mote it be.

Flower Market Reports

Business has dropped off
BOSTON somewhat this week.
Chrysanthemums are ac-
cumulating and the result is as here-
tofore— a setback for the all-the-year-
round staples in demand and in price.
Roses of all varieties are plentiful and
of good quality, the higher grades en-
joying the best call. Carnations are
better but lower in price. Lily of the
valley is not up to usual high' class-
in fact, the most of it is in the No. 2
class. Violets abound, with prices
low for this season of the year, but
horse show is soon due and an im-
provement is to be expected. Lilies
are somewhat short in supply. Gar-
denias vary from the small bruised
and unsalable stuff which will hardly
bring the price of a good carnation to
the exquisite product which sells for
$3 a dozen blooms at wholesale. Or-
chids abundant and not easily dis-
posed of. Outside markets are un-
loading eattleya surpluses on this
market with ill effect on the local
stock.

Autumn weddings and
BUFFALO other social functions
are in order, but there
has been no special demand on any
certain line; at least, it was not no-
ticeable. On Monday, shipments were
heavy, and on Tuesday (an all day
rain) the demand was light. Dahlias,
cosmos and gladioli were in heavy
supply and it seemed as if the sum-
mer days had returned. Chrysanthe:
mums are abundant, especially Kalb,
October Frost, Monrovia, Bergmann,
Polly Rose and Pacific. Blooms small
and stems from eight to twenty inches,
and only useful for floral work. Of
the better grades some good Halliday,
Touset, Pacific Supreme and White
Cloud are received. Other stock in
good supply. Carnations are in poor
demand, and accumulating to some ex-
tent. Colder weather is looked for,
which will be well for the trade in
general.

A very cheerful tone
CHICAGO now pervades the mar-
ket as a whole and the
reports from the various houses bear
a striking similarity to each other.
Just enough stock to go around, day by
day, and opportunity to see what your
neighbor can supply when the big or-
ders come in late, make the fall busi-
ness seem fairly under way. as it sure-
ly is. There may be those whose
books show more profitable Octobers
but with out-door flowers lingering till
now. the volume of sales is very grati-
fying. The only flowers that can
really be said to be in abundant sup-
ply are the chrysanthemums of which
there are more than usual for the sea-
son. It looks now as if there might
prove to be an over supply before the
height of the season. The pompons
are now coming in also and some re-
port sales of these in excess of the
large varieties. There is a decided
shortening up of the rose supply, con-
tinued cloudy weather being j. -;>..ii^i-
ble for much of it. Beauties are
and the demand fully equals the sup-
ply. Carnations, especially good
size and quality are seen. The
noted this week arc in white and light
pink. Lily of the valley is excellent
Comparatively few violets are in, the
season for them being scarcely i pi ■
here. Dahlias and a few gladioli are

been easier but all are selling nicely.
The cut of American Beauties is let-
ting up somewhat. All the roses are
good. White carnations are in a very
heavy supply and consequently do not
sell up as quickly as the others. The
prices on all are easy. Chrysanthe-
mums are in heavy supply. All the
choicer and better varieties sell nicely
if good and clean and not bruised. Es-
telle alone moves slowly but then the
supply is so large of this last that the
sales are not as noticeable as in the
other varieties. Lilies, while not en-
joying a good call, still are good prop-
erty. Lily of the valley, double and
local single violets, orchids and pan-
sies sell quickly. - There is a good mar-
ket for greens.

The annual experience
DETROIT that chrysanthemums

need cool, crisp weather
to become quick sellers is being proven
again and the many rainy days and
comparatively warm weather of the
past week have kept the demand for
flowers in general and chrysanthe-
mums in particular far below the sup-
ply. Pompons appear to fare better
than the large varieties, being very
useful for table decorations.

Mild weather contin-
NEW YORK ues to favor outdoor
flowers — dahlias, cos-
mos and some chrysanthemums. The
rose crop is not particularly heavy but
demand lags; so, too, it is with carna-
tions— they are not even in fair de-
mand. Violet shipments are light — the
demand equally so. There is no brisk
demand for anything, gardenias ex-
cepted because of light supply. Chrys-
anthemums are in full swing and com-
mand the situation. Prices on the bet-
ter grades are, perhaps, not so high
as a year ago but seem to equal on the
medium grades. The early variety,
Polly Rose, Monrovia, Carmolita, Early
Snow and Pacific Supreme are by no
means over. Bonnaffon and Appleton
are here also, so taken altogether the
supply is large and considering the
general business conditions they are
doing as well in price as could be ex-
pected. It would seem that there are
just enough of cattleyas in the market
and good flowers sell readily.

What between
PHILADELPHIA baseball and bad
weather it was a
hard week for bootblacks and the
flower business. We have not had
such a solid week of rain at this sea-
son for many years. There was very
little business — and no chance at all —

towards the end of the week — to work
off the accumulations at any price. So,
the less said about the tragic third
week of October, the better. Let us
discuss the nebular hypothesis of the
creation as a diversion. At this writ-
ing, (Oct. 24), sun has been out two
days, and the bad dream is at an end.

The weather con-
WASHINGTON tinues to be un-
settled and com-
paratively warm for this time of the
year. The market for roses is im-
proving and the stock is coming in
good. Locally-grown American Beau-
ties were never better; Radiance is all
that its name implies; Mrs. Taft
slightly more in demand than hereto-
fore and Richmond coming in in con-
siderably better shape. Lily of the val-
ley is going good and so are carna-
tions. Pink and white still lead in
sales although there is quite a little
call for reds. Lilies are going slow,
due to the fact that there are plenty
of chrysanthemums of fine quality and
in all the colors. Dahlias are of very
good quality but are in little demand.
Smilax is holding fire in the local mar-
ket; adiantum is moving well and As-
paragus plumosus is in good demand
but Sprengerii is not being called for
very much. There are plenty of Oncid-
ium Rogersii on the market and the
general demand for orchids equals the
supply as is the case also with garde-
nias; in other words, there are just
enough of each. Viojets are coming
in good.

The local market was
ST. LOUIS in excellent condition
all of the last week.
The wholesalers were receiving daily
a fine assortment, all of which had a
fairly good demand, but not large
enough to consume all the stock.
Prices were not too high. Carnations
are coming in much better of late.

Middletown, N. Y. — The business of
Mr. Gilbert has been taken over by
Jas. Lough of Staten Island, who will
grow a general line of stock.

NEWS NOTES.

Logan, Ohio — J. Turner, of Pitts-
burgh, has purchased the greenhouse
of Isaiah Vous.

Springfield, III. — A greenhouse will
be opened here in the near future by
W. Y. Perry and wife.

Upton, Mass. — The Oak Grove Nur-
series, L. C. Fiske, proprietor, have
discontinued business.

Florence, Mass. — F. D. Keyes has
finished his new greenhouse and plant-
ed it to a general line of stock.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Hans R. Schwartz, recently with
Adolph Kaiser of Annapolis, Md., has
entered the employ of J. H. Small &
Sons.

Alexander B. Garden of Anacostia is
very active in the campaign looking
toward the Sunday closing of all
stores in Anacostia.

Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Jenkins last
week celebrated their silver wedding
surrounded by intimate friends and
relatives, at their home in Suitland.
Prince George County, Md.

Work on the new front which is be-
ing erected at the store of Z. D.
Blackistone on Fourteenth street is
progressing rapidly and upon comple-
tion the store will be one of the finest
iu the city.

The Washington Florists' Company,
Thirteenth and F streets, N. W., are
showing some very remarkable chrys-
anthemums and have a fine window
display with these as the leaders. The
background consists of a rustic arch
from which is suspended vari-colored
pennants bearing the word "Washing-
ton."

Miss Florence McNeice, who was
formerly connected with her mother.
Mrs. George McNeice, in the florist
business at 108th street and Broad-
way, New York, and who was lately
with W. J. Palmer & Son of Buffalo.
N. Y.. has entered the employ of F. H.
Kramer and now smilingly waits upon
his customers at the F street store.

O. W. D'Alcorn of Congress Heights,
D. C. has called upon the local
police to aid in recovering five
thousand tulip bulbs which were stolen
recently from a barn on the premises
nf the Washington Bulb Company of
which Mr. D'Alcorn is the manager.
The bulbs are valued at $125 and a re-
ward has been offered for their return.

There is another rumor rampant
that Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
is about to tender his resignation to
President Taft. this to be effective on
November 15. Former Representative
Scott of Kansas, who was chairman of
the House committee on agriculture is
mentioned as his successor. There
has been no formal announcement and,
perhaps, there will be none.

The department store of S. Kanns &
Sons Co., is handsomely decorated this
week with chrysanthemums and Amer-
ican Beauty roses and enormous quan-
lities of greens, ferns and palms, in
honor of the firm's eighteenth birth-
day. In the center of the store is a
large summer house complete!} cot
ered with asparagus and other greens
and gorgeous home-grown American
Beauty roses. This is further set off
by myriads of colored electric lights.
In the center is a large vase contain-
ing long-stem Beauties. This display
is a gift from the employes of the store
and was furnished by Gude Bros., who
also did the interior decorating. Kami's
is not a small one by any means

A REASON WHY HOUSE

The reason why that work room is so large and business like looking, in proportion to the size of
the greenhouse is because the owner intends adding a large connected house alongside this one.
It will be 300 or so feet long. It is a house planned with a reason — just as all houses should
be planned. That's our way of doing it. Planning it with an eye for what the future may develop.
Plan right — house right — heating right— and right price combined with pleasant dealing, makes
a combination you can't beat — or equal. Write us.

1 f~t (JS supply your wants i r» Lilies -this season
We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer Is not gathered Indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but Is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them In the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrlsii is good, it leaves HtUe to be de-
sired. There Is very little, If any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer Is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrlsii In Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 Inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 336 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lota, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties,— good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown In pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepls Bostoniensls and Piersoni, 6-in. pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis, and Harrlsii, heavy 8-in. plants $1.00 to 1.60 each

Nephrolepls Elegantissima, Bostoniensis, and Harrlsii, heavy 10-ln. plants 2.50 each

Seasonable Notes on Culture of
Florists' Stock

CAMKI II \s

To have these plants in good flower and shape by
Christmas they should be moved into a house that stands
from 48 to 50 >'■ i Camellias cannot be

hurried along by giving them heat, as they will not
endure forcing without a heavy loss of buds. Admit
with care daily sufficient quantities of fresh air to keep
the temperature from running up too high; 60 or G5 is
plenty, high enough with sunshine. Give them a spray-
ing on all good days until the flowers begin to show
color. Watering is a point in their culture which re-
quires very careful attention, as neglect in this matter
will result in failure. So go over them and see that the
roots are in an even moist condition. Neglect in this
matter even for a short time either by letting them be-
come dry or have the soil in a soaking condition will
bring down the buds and destroy all ho|>vs of flowers.
When they arc in flower they will keep in a better shape
if given a temperature of about 45 degrees at eight
with a liberal watering when I hey need it. When well
grown these old Eavorites have but few equals among
the ornamental greenhousi shrubs and they are rapidly
regaining favor with the trade as small decorative pol
plants.

C \l:v LTIONS

The plant- should now be well advanced in growth,
but no matter how well a house may appear, their are
usually a few plants that will be in a weak state. It is
a good plan to dust a little air-slacked lime around
where they are found; this will be a good guide when
you are watering and at the same time will benefit the
plant. Watch these weaker plants verj carefully now
as tin' require much l"-- water than their more vigor-

iors : by so doing you w ill gradually convei
thi m into gi irietios I hat have been j ield-

ing a continuous cut should have no excessive forcing to
increase returns. Carnations do Dot Bhow exposure to
sudden changes in the temperature as much as roses,
but they are affected by it jusl the same. Ventilation
will need a great deal of attention now. and with the
variable weather we are hound to have it is better to
raise and lower the ventilators gradually. This may
necessitate more trips around your houses, but it will
encourage increased vigor in your plants. Don't over-
look giving proper supports as sunlight is getting less
each day now. and each growth should be kept in an up-
right position, [f your plants are covered with buds
and in good health, with small fibrous roots coming to
the surface of i he soil, a light mulch will do them good.
Disbud regularly to one hud.

GARDEN! LS

Gardenias that were set out in the benches early in the
summer and given good care from the Btarl should now
be a thrifty lot of plant-. To handle these plants is
no eas task. They require continued watchfulness in
ventilation, atmospheric moisture, watering, tempera-
ture and cleanliness. Nov* t ;ii we will have sharp, cold
wind-, cool and fro ts, alternated with sun-

|_- warmed days, causing extren in outside conditions.

[~ greal cari in ion will needed to cqualizi

i— fai -ible the temperature inside, which dm

sunshine can run up to 78 degrees, and at night -

your plants clear of greenfly and mealy bug by fre-
quent fumigation and careful syringing.

PANDANUS \ BITCH I I

Now thai we can rely on more steady fire heat it is a
good time to propagate a batch of the6e plants which by
next winter, if grown right along, will easily reach a 5
or 6-inch pot. Plants that are throwing a number of
side shoots can be relieved of these suckers. When they
have gained some substance and size, they should be
rubbed off close to the parent plant and placed in warm
cutting bench. With proper moisture and some shade
they will be ready to pot off in nine or ten weeks. Give,
them a house where the temperature is from 65 to 70
degrees at night with all the light possible and good
amount of moisture and they will make rapid growth.
• live all your pandanuses a bench where they will have
full sun where they will assume that intense coloring
which is a decided feature in all well grown Pandanus

Veltehil.

This is the besl time for repotting or top-dressing
these orchids, now thai .he warm weather is past, and
the best general composf to use is a mixture of the soft-
e.-i part of fern fibre and sphagnum moss chopped up
and well mixed together. A large number of odonto-
glossums will do well -I ,-uHure, but those that

have pendulous flower scapes or creeping rhizomes
should he grown in baskets. Fron i and during

NEW CHINESE PLANTS

An Address Before the Horticultural Club of Boston, by E. H. Wilson, November 1, 1911.

Twelve years ago April lllli. last. 1
d land on mj first trip to China
in qU< Three ether

jourm followed this first one.

Fortune baa Invarlablj been tdnd.
True, there have been set backs, dls
appointments, accidents and minor
annoyances, but on the whole, good
fortune bas kept with me. The Bo
tanical, Horticultural and lay press
have thought tit to publish much that
is of most complimentary character.
That, grand old periodical, the Botani-
cal Magazine, has. to date, figured no
fewer than arty-eight of my introduc-
tions. The Horticultural press, the
Gardeners' Chronicle in particular,
have figured many more than this
number.

Corydalis thalictrifolia was the first
of many new plants to be exhibited be-
fore the Royal Horticultural Society
ndon, on June 10th, 1902, and it
received their highest award— a first
class certificate of merit. Since that
date this same Society has given
some sixty-three awards of merit and
certificates and six gold medals.
These awards are adjudged by com-
petent and impartial critics and hall-
mark the plants they are given to.
On this side, as far as my knowledge
goes, one award onlj a silver medal
to Lilium Sargentiae last summer —
has been given to these plants.

I give prominence to these facts,
not in any spirit of braggadocio or
conceit, but simply in order to lay
stress upon the value the plants are
conceived to possess, across the
water. In response to a request from
our President, Mr. John K. M. L. Far-
quhar, 1 am about to speak of these
new introductions of mine and in so
doing I will exhibit as much broad-
minded impartiality as possible. In
all earnestness, frankness and sincer-
ity, these remarks are conceived and
I speak of things that are, as they
are. drawing no fanciful pictures and
spinning no "old traveler's yarn."

My two first journeys were promot-
ed by the nursery firm of James
Veitch & Sons, London, England— a
firm well known to you all and to
every nurseryman, amateur and pro-
fessional gardener in the world. Of
the twenty-three travelers and collec-
tors dispatched by this firm to vari-
ous parts oi the world, I was the last
but one. Whilst the collecting work
conducted and financed by this firm
was promoted in the instincts of true
business, yet, and it cannot be gain-
said, this firm lias dene more in the
interests of true horticulture than any
r firm or institution extant. With
characteristic liberality living plants
and herbarium S] have al-
ways 1 n fi eh distributed among

I institutions of Europe
and this country. Nevertheless, my

journeys for Messrs. Veitch, like
those of their other travelers, were
business ventures, and were I still
connected with this firm I should feel
precluded, for obvious reasons, from
giving publicity to this address.

My two last journeys were promoted
by Prof. Charles S. Sargent, Director
of the Arnold Arboretum, solely in tiie
interests of scientific horticulture;
they had no connection with business
in any shape or form. Prof. Sargent

had distributed the results of '|i
expeditions with an open hand, where-

i and to whomsoever he felt
would take real interest in the mat-
ter. It is getting time now to take
stock, investigate and call the score.

I mention these facts in detail In
order to emphasize that whether you
or others take up, develop and utilize
the material I have been privileged to
introduce I shall noi benefit, pecunia-
rily, a single cent. Beyond a real love
for the plants themselves and a gen-
uine desire to see them as widely cul-
tivated and appreciated as they de-
servo to be, I have no interest what-
soever.

I admit my opportunities have been
exceedingly limited, but in no single
instance, in this country, have I seen
full justice done to these newcomers
from China. Give a few of them the

E. H. Wilson

attention you lavish on your roses, tar-
nations, lilacs, peonies, etc., and judge
by results. Some will doubtless say:
"It is all very well to talk of plants
which thrive in England, but here we
have a very different climate to con-
tend with. Our winters are more se-
vere, our summers hotter, the drought
greater, etc." Admitted, but don't take
a narrow view of things. Look at the
range of climate you have in this
vast continent. From northern Maine
to southern Florida ; from Boston to
San Francisco, surely somewhere
there are congenial spots for all.

As far as New England is concerned
the question of these newcomers be-
ing able to withstand the severe win-
is of course, of paramount im-
portance. Experiments alone can
ibis, but I would point out the
well-known fact of deciduous trees
and shrubs from Japan and North
China succeeding better here, around
Boston, than in England. Give these
newcomers from Western China a fair
chance and they will win through, cred-
itably enough. There are plenty of
them to pick and choose from and if

only 50 first-class plants win through,
is the trial not worth attempting?
Now, suppose that out of the whole
mass there are only a dozen equalling
Berberis Thunbergii and Clematis pan-
iculata. will the trial prove nothing
but a costly failure? Suppose we add
only two good evergreens, has nothing
been accomplished? Reduce the possi-
bilities and probabilities to bed-rock
proportions and it is obvious that the
game is worth the candle!

Some may advance that stock argu-
ment:-- "that we lac!; here an appre-
ciative public." Gentlemen. I Submit,
this is a poor argument for business
men to voice. Make your goods talk,
as they have to in every line of busi-
ness, bring your goods before the pub-
lic- and, if they are worthy, the public
will respond. The Arnold Arboretum
gave you Berberis Thunbergii ; it
gave you Azalea Kaempferi and heaps
of other notable plants; take up some
more of its introductions, put your best
work Into them and let the proof of
the pudding be in the eating.

Acting on a suggestion I published,
in HORTICULTURE, through the
courtesy of the editor, our esteemed
fellow member, Wm. J. Stewart, a
series of thirteen short articles, enti-
tled Plant Novelties from China, com-
mencing Jan. 1st, 1910. I have recently
questioned the editor concerning these
articles with the result that, while they
have elicited some favorable comment,
yet neither he nor I feel that they have
attracted anything like the attention
the subject deserves. Tonight I per-
force, try again.

Under ten different headings I pro-
pose to discuss very briefly, just sixty
plants. I have here to show you il-
lustrations and photographs of the
majority, and, save the herbs, through
the courtesy of Prof. Sargent, dried
specimens of the actual plants them-
selves.

Six Herbaceous Plants.

Astilbe grandis (5 to 6 ft. tall, flow-
ers pure white), Senecio clivorum (4
to G ft. tall, rich golden-yellow flowers),
Primula pulverulenta (flowers rich
crimson on scapes 3 to 4 ft. high). Ar-
temisia lactiflora (3 to 4 ft. tall, flow-
ers milk white), Aconitum Wilsonfi
G to 7 ft. tall, flowers deep blue, open-
ing in September), Paeonia Veitchii
ll'1 2 to 4 ft., flowers deep red), Here
are my six herbaceous plants, every-
one of them perfectly hardy here in
Boston, strong growing, free-flowering
and vigorous in habit.

The first three are happiest when in
c lose proximity to water — a stream or
pond side free of rank weeds is the
ideal situation. The Aconite and
Wormwood require nothing more than
the average herbaceous border affords
hut they should not be allowed to suf-
fer from drought. The Paeony re-
quires only to be grown in the ordin-
ary way of herbaceous paeon ies.

Coed, strong loam, leaf soil and cow
dung in the usual proportions will
suit them all. Being good species
(like all the plants I shall enumerate)
they come true from seed and are
also readily propagated by division.
Grown singly as specimens, in small
clumps or in masses they are fascinat-
ingly effective.

Six Hardy Climbers.
There Is an admitted carclty of
good, hardy, ornamental climb
plants needi <i In every park and garden.
Here are six Clematis most an a ru-
bena (6 to 15 tt tall, flower rosj red,
late May), Clematis montana Wilsonii

Clematis nutans (10 to 15 ft. Mowers,

gophylla (10 to 16 tt. tall, flowers gold-
llow, June), Vitis Davidll var.

plant, and does not like the knife
One and all are of simple culture,
easily propagated from seeds or cut-
tings, in the usual way.

Six Flowering Shrubs.

In recent years there has been an
enormously increasing interest taken
in outdoor horticulture generally and
flowering shrubs have, at last, entered
into their own. With a better appre-
ciation of their needs in the matter of
pruning and planting for effect, they
would give even better results than is
commonly seen— good as these usual-
ly are. Of spring-tiowering shrubs
we are. fortunately, well supplied, but

shrubs flowering in August i Sep

tember are decidedly scarce. Early-
flowering' or late-flowering there is al-
ways room at the top Flvi Ol Hie fid-
lowing COVer the season from early
June to September. Hie sixth, Coton-

eastcr Dielsiana, is at the mo at of

writing. Oct. 31st. a mass of bright
crimson scarlet fruits, with its neat
foliage assuming various shades of
orange: Deutzia Wilsonii (3 to 6 ft.
tall, (lowers pure white, earlj June),
Spiraea llentyii (3 to 5 tt. tall, flow-
ers pure white, early July.), Buddleia
variabilis magnifies (5 to L0 ft

The rose has the darkest and rich-
est Colored flowers of any wild spe-
cies and is well worth the attention
of hybridists. The Dipelta is a new
genus, allied to Diervilla. Like the
above mentioned climbers, these
shrubs require no special soil or situ-
ation, are quite hardy, root easily
from cuttings and. save the Buddleia.

Six Evergreens.

If there is one class of plants more
badly needed here in New England
than another, it is, unquestionably,

broad-leaved evergreens, in nothing

is the povertj "f ill. native tlora or
gardens more marked. Now broad-
leave 1 evergreens are a feature of
rain forest floras of temperate climates
and, in a general wa always

associated with woodland and forest
vegetation. Drought, whether it be
caused by frozen soil around the roots

or by lack of water in the soil, is
deadly lo them. It is not so i

site ami moisture, much can de done
to minimize these evils. Granted the
exercise of these important details
the following six are calculated to
withstand the worst this New I
land climate has in store: Bei i
Wallichlana (true Chinese type, not
tie plant generally grown under this
name), Ilex Pernyi (5 to 18 ft. high,
densely crowded with small Bpinej
leaves), Viburnum rhytidophyllum ( .",
to S ft. tall, flowers white, fruits Mack,
leaves 6 inches long, wrinkled above.
densely lilled beneath), Lonicera ni-
tida, (3 to 5 ft. tall, flowers small.
creamy white, fragrant, fruits blue-
purple, leaves small, shining green).
Sarcococca ruscifolla (3 to 5 ft. tall,
flowers Inconspicuous, fruits dark red,
foliage small, shining green), Strans-
vaesia undulata ("i to 10 ft. tall, flow-
ers white in flat corymbs 4 to 5 inch-
es across, fruits scarlet, leaves assum-
ing fine crimson tints in late autumn
and winter and retained until the new
foliage develops the following spring).

These six are, for evergreens, fairly
i asilj propagati d by cutting and read-
ily raised from seed. The Barberry is
a particularly useful subject and will
some day be largely used for making
hedges around houses, etc. Its dark
gri ii. Miff, leathery foliage, fringed
by spiney bristles, is pleasing at all
seasons.

Six Trees.

We are well off for trees, but the
following six are particularly ornamen
tal: Micromeles Folgnerii (a graceful
and elegant tree, 10 to 25 feet tall, with
corymbs of white flowers followed by
orange-red fruits, haves white on un-
der side), Styrax Eiemsleyanus (20 to
40 feet tall, (lowers in white, large,
erect in racemes), Cornus Wilson
iana (20 to 40 feet, flowers, white in
corymbs), Davidia Involucrata (35 to
50 feet tall, pyramidal in outline with
two huge, white bracts sub-tending the
flowers). Populus lasiocarpa i4u to GO
feet tall, with leaves 8 to 1L' inche
long, 10 inches wide — the largest
leaved poplar known I. Euconiniia
ulmoides (30 to 50 feet. tall, the only
hardy rubber producing tree in the
world).

The Kiiconimia and Davidia arc-
monotypes and two of the most inter
esting trees known to science. The
Davidia, with its huge bracts, is the
most strikingly beautiful of all trees
in the temperate flora. A young tree,
nine years old from seed, flowered in
England this year for the first time;
cut sprays were exhibited at the Tem-
ple Show and the plant was unani-
mously awarded a first-class certificate
of merit.

Six Conifers.

Western China is particularly rich
in conifers, especially spruces and
Bllver-flr. A great many are now in
cultivation, but it is too early to speak
of their hardiness or adaptability to
cultivation generally. The following
six are particularly handsome trees in
their native haunts: Abies reel
Abies Fargesli, I'icea complanata,
Picea purpurea, Pinus Wilsonii and

\rmamlii. The last-named is a
whit.- pine and has, for several years,
been in cultivation with Mr. Walter
iinnii. .... n at Wellesley ami In the
Arnold Arboretum. It is quite hardy,
grows freely and promises to be a
,il addition to the pirn-turn.

Six Brambles.
A remarkable feature of the Chinese
Mora is its wealth in handsome orna-
mental brambles. Several of them
are worth cultivating as a future
6 of new berries, others are val-
uable for their handsome foliage,
white stems, and graceful habit: Ru-
bus Innomlnatus (0 to 10 feet tall,
fruits orange-red in thyreoid panicles,
il flavor, ripe in September), R.
amabllts (4 to 6 feet, flowers large,
white, solitary, fruit red. with splendid
flavor, ripe in July), R. lasiostylus
(6 to 8 feet tall, stems pure white,
bristly and very ornamental), R. pilea-
t us (6 to 8 feet tall, stems glaucous
in winter, fruits orange, delicious fla-
vor), It. bambusarum (8 to 12 feet
tall, leaves three foliolate on whip-like
branches), R. flagelliformls (8 to 10
f.ct tall, leaves ovate with velvety
markings, branches whip-like). The
last two thrive best in shade, being
woodland species.

Rhododendrons.
About one hundred and fifty species
of rhododendron are known from
China, and nearly a hundred of these
are now in cultivation. How many
will succeed here, around Boston, is
a moot point, but surely an odd one
or so may reasonably be expected to
win through. In China these rhodo-
di nilroiis vary from tiny shrubs, 6
inches to a foot tall, on the Alpine
moorlands, to trees in the forests
di pths 50 feet or more tall. The
llow.rs tire of eve rj hue — yellow being
amongst them, too. Rhod. micran-
tlinin has small trusses of Ledum-
llke white flowers and promises to be
hardy hereabout ... It flow, is in a
small state and is a floriferous and
pleasing shrub. R. flavidum and R.
ambtguum are both small growing spe-
with yellow flowers which quite
probably will be hardy In this neigh-
borhood.

Willows.

Willows are abundant in Western
China and some ol tie m are remark-
ably "unwillow-like" in appearance. I
have here specimens of two species.
One. S. Bockii, is worth growing as
an autumn flowering shrub." The cat-
kins are white (yellow anthers in the
male), borne on the current season's
growth (an almost unique character)
and in such profusion as to warrant
Us being classed as a shrub with orna-
tal flowers. The other. Salix mag-
i. is worth growing as a foliage
plant! The largest leal on the specl-
hefoi-e you measures, exclud-
ing iln- petiole, 8 inches in length,
and is a', inches wide. Can you con-
any plant more unlike- a willow
than this one?

Hardy Orchids.
Some of you present make a
alty of orchids. Now China
ot a good orchid country, al-
though several fine Dendrobiums are
found there, including one of the
most popular of all, D. nobile. Among
i i Test rial orchids several fine Cy-
pripediums occur. I would draw your

628

H ORTI CULTURE

attention to three: C. tibeticum, C.
Franchctii and C. luteum. All three
are hardy, good growers and well
worth growing. The first-named grows
6 to 10 inches tall and has very large,
dark red flowers. The second grows
15 to 20 inches tall and has rosy-pink
flowers in the way of the Siberian C.
macranthon. The third is a yellow
spectabile.

Lilies.
Lilies — some forty species of these
favorite flowers are known from China
and quite a number are now in culti-
vation. During the past season Messrs.
Farquhar & Co., of this city, have ex-
hibited, on several occasions, two of
these new Chinese lilies, namely, L.
Sargentiae and L. myriophyllum. Both
are quite hardy, of vigorous constitu-
tion, and revel in loam and sunshine.
I would draw your attention to two
others having reflexed, not tubular
flowers. Lilium sutchuenense and L.
Duchartrei are their names. Here are
illustrations of them, drawn from
plants which flowered with Messrs.
Veitch a few years ago. The first named
is a refined tigrinum with slender,
elegant foliage and bright scarlet flow-
ers. It likes loam and sunshine and
having a small bulb, will flower well
the second year from seed. L. Duch-
artrei is the only peat-loving lily I
know of in China; the flowers are
white spotted and splashed with vin-
ous purple. Its constitution is not so
vigorous as the others and it requires
careful cultivation, though its hardi-
ness, since it comes from 9,000 to 11,-
000 feet altitude, is assured.

New Greenhouse Plants.

So far I have dealt with hardy
plants, but some of you are growers
interested only in greenhouse plants
of decorative value. These hardy
plants are not in your line exactly,
but I have reserved a final half dozen
for your especial line of business.
Here they are with an extra one
thrown in: Rehmannia Henryi, Cory-
dalis Wilsonii, Buddleia asiatica, B.
officinalis, Jasminum primulinum, Par-
thenocissus Henryana and Clematis
Armandii.

Most of you are, by this time, fam-
iliar with Rehmannia angulata; R.
Henryi is its white-flowered counter-
part only it does not exceed 18 inches
in height. By crossing and selecting
from the progeny, a new type of early
spring flowering plants may be
evolved far* exceeding the parents'
form in beauty and general useful-
ness.

The Corydalis is a golden-yellow
fume-wort, with glaucous much di-
vided foliage and erect racemes of
flowers — an admirable subject for pot
or basket culture, flowering in Febru-
ary and March.

Buddleia asiatica has pure white
flowers, B. officinalis rosy-lilac col-
ored flowers, produced in January and
February. Cuttings rooted in the
spring and grown on in 5 to 6-inch
pots will flower the following winter.
A liberal diet, plenty of water and
full exposure to the light are the
essentials. The flowers are borne in
terminal, caudate panicles as in B.
variabilis, so the pinching back must
be done early in the season. The
flowers are delightfully fragrant and
for table and house decoration gener-
ally, they are admirably suited.

The Jasmine is fairly well known

further south but it is worth the glow-
ers' attention here. The large yellow
flowers are borne axillary on the cur-
rent season's wood. Cuttings rooted
in sprint; ami grown on in 5 to 6-inch
pots will make nice stuff for table
'decoration in t he winter months —
January and February. The vine has
five foliolate leaves, some 5 inches
long and 6 inches wide, with a pure
white stripe down the primary and
secondary veins. In the late autumn
the green parts assume wonderful
shades of crimson and scarlet if kept
in a frost-proof greenhouse. Cuttings
rooted in the spring and grown on in
6-inch pots will make plants, 4 ft.
high, with many stems and dense
masses of foliage. For decorative
work at Thanksgiving and Christmas
this plant has a great future before it.

The New Zealand Clematis indivlsa
is well known to you all. Clematis
Armandii is a similar but better plant.
Grow this newcomer in the same way
as our old friend from "down under"
and you have something worth while.
There are two forms of this Armandii,
one with white, the other with rosy-
red flowers, both flower in March and
April.

All these plants are of simple cul-
ture requiring only the ordinary at-
tention of cool greenhouse plants.
Give them not too much root room,
feed them well, keep them near the
light in winter and the results are
assured.

With exception of the willows. Sty-
rax Hemsleyanus and five of the
conifers, the plants above mentioned
are all purchasable or will be, in the
spring. In several groups 'twould be
easy to increase the number very con-
siderably but time and space forbid.
If any of you take up six of the sixty
enumerated here and do them justice,
they themselves will force you to
take up as many others as you can
acquire.

If you purchase from a seedsman
a packet of seeds in the ordinary way
and they fail to germinate, damp off
or die, you can, by purchase, obtain
the same thing again with little,
trouble and expense. If you buy or-
dinary plants the same obtains.

It is otherwise with plants culled
from the wilds. The time and ex-
pense involved in obtaining new
plants from remote regions are not
the only reasons for taking good care
of them when they arrive. I should
like to draw your attention to a fact
that few realize the seriousness of —
and this has especial reference to trees.
China is practically deforested and no
attempt at reafforestation is being
made and every year trees become
more scarce. The life of many species
hinges on a comparatively small num-
ber of individuals and axe and fire
may destroy them at any moment. Ten,
twenty, or a hundred years may elapse
before some of these rare trees and
shrubs are again introduced to our
gardens and some may be utterly
wiped out of existence before the next
collector has opportunity of visiting
their present haunts.

Gentlemen, my task is done, I have
spoken frankly and earnestly on be-
half of those who so far have not, in
this country, had a fair opportunity
given them to speak for themselves.
How far the time has been well or ill-
spent depends upon you and others
truly interested in horticulture.

The Sweet Pea Trials.

The National Sweet Pea Society has
recently published the official report
of the trials of new varieties. A first
class certificate has been awarded to
Thomas Stevenson, sent by Dobbie &
Co., of Edinburgh, also to Barbara,
sent by Robert Holmes, of Tuckswood
Farm, Norwich, the raiser being H. A.
Perkin, of Reigate, Surrey. The fol-
lowing is a list of varieties receiving
awards of merit, together with the
names of the senders: F. Seymour Da-
vis— F. Seymour Davis, Farnham.
Mauve Queen — Dobbie & Co., of Edin-
burgh. Red Star— A. Malcolm, Duns.
Berwick. May Campbell — Messrs
Dobbie. Mrs. B. Gilbert— Gilbert &
Son, Dyke, Bourne, Lincolnshire. The
Committee of the Society has ap-
proved a set of recommendations for
the arrangement of the trials next
year. It has been decided to have a
duplicate set of trials on heavy soil
at least 100 miles north of London.
The Floral Committee will pay one
visit to each set, point each stock, and
make its awards on the results thus
arrived at. Under these conditions a
scale of points 'will be prepared prior
to the first visit, and all stocks ob-
taining a certain aggregate of po;nts
will be voted upon. The Floral Com-
mittee has also rendered a useful
service in preparing a revised list of
up-to-date varieties, classified under
their respective colors, and also a
classification of too-much-alike varie-
ties. Not more than one of the brack-
eted varieties is to be shown on the
same competitive stand at any of the
Society's exhibitions. With the multi-
plicity of new sorts this list is very
necessary.

Early Chrysanthemums.
The first show of the season of the
National Chrysanthemum Society at
the Crystal Palace early in October
was not a large one. A bigger dis-
play will be made in the second show
in November. There was an interest-
ing array of new varieties, first-class
certificates being awarded to the fol-
lowing: Bronze Goacher, a bronze
sport from Goacher's Crimson, a popu-
lar variety on this side, shown by W.
Wells & Co.. of Merstham, Surrey.
Miss E. Finch, a terra-cotta single,
shown by M. F. Brazier, of the Nur-
series, Caterham, Surrey. Emperor, a
decorative variety, with bright crim-
son petals, and bronze reverse, shown
by Lowe & Shawyer, of Uxbridge.
The same firm received a commended
award for Eskimo, a creamy white
decorative variety. H. W. Thorp, of
Durrington. Worthing, Sussex, re-
ceived commended awards for Round-
about, golden bronze decorative va-
riety, and Phoebe, a Japanese variety,
with silvery pink petals.

A correspondent of the Gardeners'
Chronicle states that Ficus pandurata
is incorrectly named, the proper desig-
nation being Ficus lyrata. a name giv-
en to it previous to its introduction
by Sander as F. pandurata. We think,
however, it is pandurata for keep^ so
far as the trade is concerned.

THE EXHIBITIONS

MORRIS COUNTY GARDENERS'
AND FLORISTS' SOCIETY.

The Sixteenth annual Bower show
ni this society was held in Assembly
Hall, Madison, N. J., Oct. 26 and 27,
and in addition there was held the an-
nual convention of the National Gar-
deners' Association, the members of
which were entertained at a banquet
in the evening which altogether made
it a memorable event in the horticul-
tural history of this thriving country
town. Madison is known the world
over as the glass-covered rose garden
of New Jersey and before those gigan-
tic western establishments were
hi ought into being Madison held the
undisputed reputation of having the
greatest area of rose houses in the uni-
verse. Naturally in such a place one
would only expect to see a great and
grand showing of roses on exhibition
on such an occasion as this but for
some reason there was not much more
than one would see at the average
show. The show as a whole was excep-
tionally Qne, magnificent blooms most
artistically arranged. It was all clean,
elegant stock and all concerned de-
serve much credit. It does one good
to visit Madison and meet the pro-
gressive men who do so much to ad-
vance horticulture not only in their
own locality but all over the world.
Many promising new things were
shown. Totty's Sunburst rose radi-
ated its grandeur all over and by its
great qualities won many special
prizes and many hearts. Mr. Totty
also showed a vase of a new pink rose,
No. 190. with splendid habit, perfect
growth and [lower. It will be a favor-
ite. L. 13. Coddington's Rose Queen
appealed to us strongly; it is a lovely
pink rose. E. H. Behre showed two
blooms of new roses, babies of the fu-
ture. Chas. H. Totty displayed a table
of greenhorn chrysanthemums that
will no doubt become prominent citi-
zens ere long. It must be understood
that this was the first exhibition of
chrysanthemums about New York this
season. Many good sorts were not
available. Mrs. D. Syme was the lead-
ing flower of the show. Wodenethe the
queen of carnations, and Sunburst shed
glory in their respective lines.

There are always a few most popu-
lar classes in chrysanthemums in
which the private gardeners with ex-
tensive facilities make special efforts
to excel and the varieties winning are
considered the best standard varieties
to have. Thus in the class calling for
24 blooms, 2-1 varieties, there were sev-
eral exhibitors, all of them showing
grand blooms which taken collective-
ly, were the largest flowers we have
seen in many years. Win. Duckham
won first with the varieties I). B.

the single varieties in the different
winning classes were Mrs. H. J. Hamp-
son, Chas. Graves, Bessie Payne, Katie

Covell, J. H. G Williams, Mary Pope,
Peter Pan, Ladysmith. There is a
great future for good clean single
chrysanthemums. The live wire in the
Kingdom of Horticulture — "Boh"
Schultz— attended to having neat lists
of awards typewritten for the press.
The flowers were auctioned off for the
society's funds on the closing night.
All in all it was a show that many
a city could be proud of.

LENOX (MASS.) HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
The first of the "Big Guns" in the
Exhibition season were fired last week,
Lenox, Mass., and Madison, N. J., be-
ing perhaps the most important. Lenox

is always a good starter. Amongst the
cool nl the Berkshire Hills the chrys-
anthemums seem always to come
along at least a week earlier than
they do around New York, and the
quality and size of the blooms put up
forms a very good augury for what to
expect in other sections.

The entries in the large bloom
(lasses in Lenox did not seem to be
quite as numerous as in former years,
but the quality was fully maintained
Amongst the most noticable of the
new varieties were Lenox, Morristown,
Tarrytown. Chrysolora, Wm. Turner,
F. E. Nash, F. E. Quittenten, Lady
Carmichael, Mary Farnsworth, Mary
Poulton, Francis Jollife and W. H.
Thornton. Among the older varieties
those thai stood out most prominent
were Mrs. Stevens, Lady Hopetoun,
Mrs. J. C. Neil, Reginald Vallis, Mrs.
L. Thorn, Mrs. D. Syme, Gladys Black-
burn, Pockett's Crimson, M. V. Ve-
nosta and Hon. Mrs. Lopes.

In specimen chrysanthemum plants.
Robt, Spiers, gardener to Mrs. J. E.
Parsons, carried off the honors in all
three classes with well grown, evenly
balanced plants. The groups of mis-
cellaneous plants, arranged for effect,
which have always been the leading
feature of the Lenox Exhibition, were
fully up to former years; a distinctly
educational feature, and well worth
travelling miles to see.

The arrangement this year was
again different from former years, and
the novelty of the change added fresh
interest to the whole show. A good
deal of forethought co-operation seems
to be given to these novel features and
changes in arrangement, by the ex-
hibitors in Lenox. They seem to get
together and plan these things in ad-
vance and work them out in perfect
harmony, and each time you travel to
Lenox you may be assured of some-
thing new and suprising in the way
that the whole exhibition and arrange-
ment is put together. It is a dis-
tinctly taking feature with patrons,
and one worthy of emulation. So
many of our exhibitions are killed with
the staleness of the same arrangement
year after year. The plants may be
the same old plants, and the same old
cork bark may be in use, but the ar-
tist mind that can give this kaleido-
scope effect keeps the public interested,
and if they were copied in our larger
and more populous centers there would
be much less grumbling at the lack of
patronage and smallness of gate re-
ceipts. Formerly the groups were
backed against the wall in effective
arrangements and we would sometimes
hear the argument "well it is easy to
arrange plants with a nice wall as a
back-ground," but this year they were
arranged in circular groups in the mid-
dle of the hall and they were just as
effective as ever, perhaps more so.
In grouping plants it should always
be borne in mind that quality and not
quantity counts, and no arrangement
can be so effective where the beauty
of the bulk of the material is spoiled
by overcrowding. In Lenox they have
undoubtedly got the material to work
with, as well-grown specimens as one
would wish to see, but they are always
arranged so that the fine individual
qualities of each plant are used to the
best advantage. There were four such
groups this year and it is safe to say
that, as usual, the poorest one would
easily be the prize winner in any of
the other exhibits the writer visits.

The Ural prize was awarded to F.

II mans. Supt. for W. D. Sloane,

Blmcourt, The leading feature of
his group was his Bpeclmen • -rotons,
particularly the variety Warrenll, the
Individual specimens being over
1 feet high and furnished to the pots.
These were arranged on pedt als of
cork hark and decorated with masses
i>r Gypsophllla paniculata, Rex and
Lorraine begonias. The ground work
ol his group was principally Farley-
ense [erns and lily of the valley, In-
terspersed With Lilium candiduiu. In
the second group, put up by Allen
Jenkins, Supt to S. P. Shotter, four
line specimens of Abutilon Thomsonii

were used, the white Va I i. IgB t lOH "I

which made a pretty contrast to the
more predominating red and yellow
foliage. In this also a large mass of
Clerodendrou falax was used, with be-
goniaa, lily of the valley, Farley<
etc.

As usual a very keen competition
took place in the vegetable classes.
The Specimens shown wen- all well

up to the bigh-class Lenox standard.
The judges had their hands full, and
when the points were counted there
were only nine points between the
first and second prize in the class for
eighteen varieties, and fifteen In the

class for twelve varieties. W. S.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GAR-
DENERS.

In connection with the 16th annual
exhibition of the Morris County Gar-
deners' and Florists' Society a session
of the Gardeners' Association of Amer-
ica was held in the lecture room.

This association was incorporated
under the laws of the State of New
Jersey in July last and the annual
convention was held on Friday, Octo-
ber 27. during the flower show at
Madison, N. J. It was well attended
and great interest was taken in all
the proceedings. The lengthy consti-
tution and by-laws were read and
adopted and letters were read from
the Mayor and Board of Trade of
Buffalo, N. Y., inviting the association
to meet in that city next year. Mr.
J. Downing, president of the Morris
County Gardeners' and Florists' So-
ciety, welcomed the assemblage to
Madison and expressed hopes for the
future of the society. The election of
officers resulted in having for presi-
dent. Thomas H. Logan, Jenkintown.
Pa.; first vice-president. Martin E. Til-
letson, Great Neck, L. I.; second vice-
president, W. Rennie, Pasadena, Cal.;
secretary, M. C. Ebel, Madison, N. J.;
treasurer, R. H. Caverly, Lowell, Mass.

J. Otto Thilow made an eloquent ad-
dress. He spoke in approval of the
proposition to widen the sphere of ac-
tivity of the Gardeners' Association
and gave great credit to the great
influence of the private estates, pub-
lic parks, school gardens, embellish-
ment of factory grounds, etc., in the
advancement of horticulture in this
country. He said that the demand
for gardeners of ability is increasing
rapidly and wonderful opportunities
are now in sight for able men. In
Eurone they have reached the stage
of civilization where they can't do
without flowers and we. in this land
of homes, are progressing in the same
direction. The gardener should now
assume a more aggressive stand and
not keep himself so much to himself.
Be earnest: be enthusiastic; drill and
sing horticulture into the e:trs of the
people. He closed with an urgent
plea for the prevention of further for-
est depletion.

J. K. M. L. Farquhar was the next
speaker, his topic being the "Garden-
ers' Opportunity as Presented Today"
— such an opportunity. Mr. Farquhar
declared, as had never occurred in this
or any other country. The gardener,
he said, is to take a higher position,
with a recognition and recompense
more in keeping with his services. He
would have the gardener prepare fcr
this by making himself master of his
calling. "The outdoor department of
horticulture is the most important at
the present time. Too many of the
craft are deficient in knowledge of es-
sentials and there is imminent danger
of the gardeners being supplanted by
students with a college-acquired scien-
tific education, but lacking horticul-
tural knowledge. The gardener should
know soil constituents, the fundamen-

tal requirements for tree growth and
vegetable culture; should have an all-
round equipment in the use of hardy
peronnials and shrubs, the laying out
and development of grounds, the use
of the level, the making of drains and
care of lawns, plant physiology, ento-
mology, the forcing of fruit and vege-
tables under glass, as well as exotic
plants and flowers. The "tree doctor"
is an encroachment on the gardeners'
domain which the gardener should by
his own knowledge be able to repel
and a large proportion of the land-
scape architects are equally super-
fluous. The gardener should be in a
position to do all these things and be
able to so lead his employer that he
would come to him for counsel in all
such operations instead of depending
upon book-taught interlopers for ad-
vice on matters which the latter are
accustomed to assert the gardener
does not understand. "Learn, learn,
learn." was the burden of Mr. Farqu-
har's appeal and it made an almost
sensational impression upon his audi-
ence.

C. H. Totty then addressed the Asso-
ciation on the subject of the "Pro-
posed National Flower Show in New
York, in 1913, Its Aims, and the Gar-
deners' Duty and Privilege in the
Great Enterprise." Everything should
be done to help along the great move-
ment to induce the people to have
their own home, own flower garden,
own fruits and vegetables. The gar-
deners' power for good in this great
upward movement is immeasurable.
The flower show can be made to do
much effective work to this end. The
gardeners should enthusiastically sup-
port the S. A. F. and personally as
well as in their organized capacity
co-operate with the S. A. F. in its
commendable project.

Wm. J. Stewart, John Young and
W. E. Maynard were also called upon
and gave unstinted approval to the
sentiments expressed by the previous
speakers.

Following adjournment the members
and visitors were invited to dinner
at the American House, after which
speeches were again in order. J. Aus-
tin Shaw complimented the Morris
County organization on the success of
its exhibition and predicted an unpre-
cedented display at the National
Flower Show in New York. "Baby"
Foley from Chicago avowed he was
celebrating his birthday and removed
his coat for greater freedom as he ad-
dressed his audience as "Fellow gen-
tlemen and gardeners, newspaper men
and barnacles," and related some of
•his oast performances, closing with a
cordial invitation to all to come to
Chicago S. A. F. Convention next sum-
mer. E. O. Orpet spoke interestingly
of his experiences in gardening in
the west. H. A. Bunyard said that the
Gardeners' Association should stand
on its own bottom as a gardeners'
organization and leave the general
field to the Society of American Flor-
ists. M. C. Ebel, R. M. Schultz and
C. H. Totty all spoke words of wel-
come on behalf of the local society.
Other speakers were J. H. Pepper,
Wm. J. Stewart, Joseph A. Manda and
Robt. Bottomley. The services closed
with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne."

exhibits of fruits, native and foreign,
arranged for decorative effect with a'i-
tumn foliage and berried shrubs. A

WM. P. RICH, Secretary.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

The supporters of the American Rose
Society are responding finely to the re-
quest for a guarantee fund to enable
the society to offer a first-class prize
list for the coming joint exhibition at
Detroit. Several amateurs have come
forward — Samuel Thorne. of Mill-
brook, N. Y.. and Mrs. E. M. Sharpe of
Wilkesbarre. Also ex-President W. H.
Elliott, August Poehlmann, and "A
Friend."

The Detroit show will be made a
public popular exhibition. The Wayne

November 4, 1911

Pavilion is virtually a Crystal Palace,
so situated tliat thousands of people
can visit it. The dates are January
10 l! and 12, 1912; admission is fixed
at 25 cents straight, no cuts. The roses
and carnations will occupy the floor and
the sides will be well decorated. Chi-
cago will be represented and Canada
will do her best. Detroit is very cen-
tral and with R. R. facilities unsur-
passed. At Boston last spring it was
noticeable that, no matter what the
other attractions, the crowd surged
toward the roses every day the show
was open.

President Farenwald has called a
meeting to prepare the prize list and
as soon as completed the same will be
sent out without delay. The Rose So-
ciety is making an effort to secure a
list of accurate registrations and there
arises from time to time conflicting
claims as to priority of names. Silver
medals have been sent to Robert Scott
& Son, Sharon Hill, Pa., and to S. J.
Reuter & Son, Westerly, R. I. A gold
medal was voted to M. H. Walsh of
Woods Hole, Mass., in recognition of
the work done by him in the develop-
ment of climbing roses, a line of flori-
culture that has taken hold of the
American public for summer home
decoration in a manner that is visible
the country over, literally exemplify-
ing the motto "A Rose for Every
Home, a Bush for Every Garden."

Secretary.

J. Otto Thilow is chairman of this
committee and that assures plenty of
activity of the kind that counts. The
cooperation and support of the com-
mercial interests is especially sought
and those who have novelties or any-

BOSTON FLOWER EXCHANGE.

The annual banquet of the Boston
Flower Exchange, Inc., was held at
Young's Hotel on October 28 at 8 P.
M.. About one hundred stock hold-
ers and guests were present and it was
a very pleasant enjoyable affair. Wm.
C. Stickel presided and proved, as
usual, a very witty toastmaster. Among
the speakers were J. T. Butter worth,
Thomas Pegler, Wm. H. Elliott, A. C.
Parker and W. J. Thurston. W. N.
Craig and Robert Cameron spoke for
the trade press. The meeting opened
with the reading of a letter from E.
Allan Peirce which was simply a pros-
pective of what the Flower Growers'
Association was doing and intended to
do and what a similar combination
was doing in New York. The old
officers and board of directors were re-
elected. A resolution was passed in-
structing the clerks of the meeting to
forward a letter of condolence ta E.
Allan Peirce on the death of his lit-
tle daughter, which was done.

Newport, R. i. — Florists here had a
busy time last week getting out
wreaths for the funeral of Ida Lewis,
the Grace Darling of America. So
numerous were the floral tributes that
two carriages were taxed to their capa-
eiry in carrying them to the cemetery.
The flowers included nearly every kind
in season. The gardening craft was
honored on this occasion by James
McLeish, the well-known grape grower
being selected as one of the honorary
bearers. Mr. McLeish has been a near
neighbor of the heroine for a great
many years.

MAY FLOWERING TULIPS.

DARWIN TULIPS.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.

Dear Sir — I have read in your col-
umns with interest and enjoyment the
fine, vigorous address ot Mr. Farquhar
in New York and the notable letter
from Professor Sargent concerning the
lack of interest shown by our eommer-
( ial horticulturists in the scientific side
of their profession. I am very closely
in touch with many amateur flower
gardeners and I appreciate to the full,
from their standpoint, all that these
gentlemen have said. During the
twenty years in which I have been in
a position to know, my experience has
been that if one wanted any English,
French, German or Dutch novelty, one
must write abroad, not to mention the
impossibility of getting here named
varieties of plants for years cultivated
in England and on the continent. —
plants perfectly suited to our climate,
but which our seedsmen and nursery-
men have disregarded entirely.

It is the exception, too, to find a
florist who knows, except for roses,
carnations and a few other things the
names of the various varieties of flow-
ers which he offers for sale. Lately
1 had occasion to buy some small au-
tumn chrysanthemums of a large met-
ropolitan firm of florists. The flowers
were of so fine a form and color that
I asked for their name and received
the information that they were called
"baby chrysanthemums!" Very courte-
ous was this reply, but it felt like a
slap in the fa

For the intelligent and enthusiastic
men who deal in these wonderful
waies of flowers, such as several whom
I might name, the advanced amateur
gardener in America should give
Heaven thanks! The Garden Club of
Michigan, an association of women to
the number of fifty, has just been or-
ganized. They band together at a for-
• Tvnmer.t, for the seedsmen of

this country in a few instances are
now showing their desire to offer what
amateurs who travel, read and adapt
to their own climate and needs, should
and will have. An era of "Gardening
finely" is here, and with Mr. Farqu-
har I express the hope that our coun-
trymen who deal in flowers and allied
stock may seize the opportunities now
crowding upon them. Let them buy
abroad, sell here, profit greatly, but
above all — study!

Very truly yours, K.

.Michigan.

NEW MALLOWS.

A few weeks ago we had the pleas-
ure of seeing a plantation in bloom, of
the new hybrid marshmallows which
Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J.,
have been working up for some years.
They are indescribably beautiful and
showy and must be seen to be properly
appreciated. The flowers run from
eight to eleven inches in diameter, in
brilliant tints of pink, salmon and
crimson and are produced in great pro-
fusion, being at their best in latter
part of August. These mallows are en-
tirely distinct from and vastly super-
ior to anything in this line yet pro-
duced.

This firm has established a fine rose
garden which promises to be a great
attraction at their nurseries. So far
as we know it is the only attempt at
a rose garden by any commercial con-
cern in this country. There are now
5000 plants in over 300 varieties and
they are making a vigorous growth.
The enclosure is surrounded by a rus-
tic cedar fence on which the climbing
roses will be trained.

berries are of fair size, good color and
flavor. There are two varieties, Fran-
cis and Americus. Mr. Farmer writes
about them as follows:

These plants were grown in the
open and unprotected. They were set
last spring and all blossoms kept off
until Aug. 20th. We began picking
ripe fruit Sep. 10th, and they will con-
tinue to fruit until the hardest freez-
ing weather. We are having wonder-
ful success with them, having grown
the improved varieties for three years
now. Last year from 500 plants set
May 1st we gathered during Aug.,
Sept. and Oct. 400 quarts of berries
and sold them at the leading hotels
and grocers at 25c. per quart. The
500 plants were set 3V2 x 1 ft. and
occupied 1-25 of an acre. It will be
seen that they yielded over 8000
quarts to the acre, netting something
like $2,000 to the acre.

FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES.
We have received from L. J. Farm-
er of Pulaski, N. Y., a sample box of
hi? Fall-Bearins; strawberries. The

C. HARMAN PAYNE.

The Journal of Horticulture, London,
Eng., for September 28, contains an
extended and very interesting biog-
raphy of our esteemed European cor-
respondent, C. Harman Payne. As
there stated, Mr. Payne's position in
the horticultural world is almost
unique. His experience and services
to the cause have been almost wholly
literary, but lie lias exercised no small
me ;it home and abroad, and
few men not directly in the trade are
more widely known. For a quarter of
a century his efforts on behalf of the
chrysanthemum in England and on
the continent have been unceasing
and he holds exalted position among
the chrysanthemum experts every-
where. His horticultural library is
rich in antique and rare volumes and
is very extensive in its general collec-
tion

Obituary

Charles Pflomm.
Charles Pflomm, a pioneer Connecti-
cut florist, died in Middletown recent-
ly, aged 78 years.

George M. Woodward.
George M. Woodward, gardener ior
J J. Mitchell, Lake Geneva, Wis., died
on October 24, aged 63 years. He was
born in Malvern, England, and came
to America 35 years ago.

Benjamin R. Wilson.

Benjamin H. Wilson, one of the best
known residents o£ Bristol county as
a seedman and gardener, died at his
home in Bristol, R. I., on Oct. 2G as
the result of a paralytic shock. He
was in his G2nd year. He had a
shock last spring and since that tiroi
his health had been gradually tailing
to the end. He was prominently iden-
tified with affairs in his native town
and was considered an authority on
seeds and garden work.

He is survived by a daughter. Mis-
Lillian M. Wilson of Bristol; a broth
er Charles C. Wilson also of Bristol;
and a sister, Mrs. John W. Wright of
Providence.

Mrs. Elsie Martini.
Mrs. Elsie Martini, aged 39 years,
wife of A. Martini, head gardener at
•Loramoor" Lake Geneva, Wis., died
October 22nd. of tetanus resulting
from a broken limb received in a run-
awav accident. The death of Mrs.
Martini came as a shock to the many
friends of the family as it was hoped
she was recovering from the result ol
the accident. Mr. Martini, formerly
with Ernst Wienhoeber Co., Chicago.
came with his family to Lake Geneva,
a year ago last June and they have
made a great many friends in this
community who sympathize with the
bereaved husband and children in then-
deep sorrow. Deceased was a woman
of sterling character and beloved by
all who knew her. The funeral was
attended bv the members of the Gar-
deners' Association and a large con-
course of sorrowing friends. The floral
tributes from members of the Associ-
ation and other friends were beautiful
beyond description and expressed in a
measure the esteem in which Mrs.
Martini was held by her associates.

Chestnut Hill. Another brother, Rev.
James Lamb, is rector of the Episco-
pal church at Radnor. Mr. Lamb was
• if a very genial disposition and made
friends everywhere, high and low. rich
and poor. He was a thorough demo-
cral with a small d— was gifted with
a shrewd and far-seeing mind and
had a fund of grim humor which
flashed out in unexpected places-
aften almost upsetting the grave dig-
nity of judges when trying cases in
court. He was a member of the Flor-
ists' Club of Philadelphia and for
many years took an active part in all
its social activities. A warm-hearted,
sentle. kindly man. We will all miss
him— especially those who had the
good fortune to be particularly inti-
mate with him. 6. C. W.

John Lamb.
A brief telegram as we go to press
announces the sudden death of John
Lamb, a distinguished Philadelphia
lawyer, who for many years was close-
ly allied with the horticultural trade
Of that locality, and held in the high-
est esteem both socially and profes-
ally, bv all who knew him. Mr.
Laml. was born in Scotland and came
to Philadelphia in his infancy with
his parents. He became a great
lawyer and enjoyed a large private
practice besides being latterly counsel
for the Reading. He is survived by
a widow and many boys and girls.
His oldest son. William, has been

WASHINGTON NOTES.

William R. S urn h is reported us be-
ing Quite Berlouslj ill at the Provi-
dence Hospital.

The next meeting of the Florists'
Club of Washington is slated for Tues-
day evening, November 7.

Mr. and Mrs. Adolphus Qude 0( An

acostla bave announced that theli
daughter Marie will be married to .Mr.
Charles DeShields of ibis city on the
.•\ enlng of November i",

C. .1. Saunders is making quite a
showing at the new location at 1415
1 strict, N. \V. This, by reason of
its close proximity to the railway
transfer point, should prove a good
stand.

The Washington Florists Co. last
week reopened their branch store at
17C! Fourteenth street, N. W.. for the
fall and winter season with Mr. W. S.
Fisher in charge. The store has been
closed all summer.

Work is progressing on the new
store of .1. EL Small & Sons but no
definite date has been set for the re-
moval. The new quarters are in the
recently constructed Southern Build-
ing on H at Fifteenth street. X. W.

D. G. Grillbortzer and Charles Kram-
er have been appointed as members
of committee of the Retail Merchants'
Association of Alexandria, Va., the
former to that on reception and enter-
tainments, the latter to streets, roads
and parks.

The Department of Agriculture is
holding its tenth annual chrysanthe-
mum show at the propagating gar-
liens. Fourteenth and B streets, X. W.
The show is open from 9.00 a. m. until
9.00 p. m.. and ends on Sunday, No-
vember .",. Members of the green-
house force competent to do so, are on
hand to explain the different varieties
and their history to the public and
thousands are taking advantage of the
opportunity of seeing the exhibition.
Something like fifty new varieties are
being shown.

A number of new men have en-
tered the employ of local stores dur-
ing the past week or ten days, among
Hies.- being: Harry Cunningham of
Hampton. Va.. with J. H. Small &
Snns: William F. Gutshall, now at
F. H. Kramer's F street store, was
formerly located at the United States
Propagating Gardens, as was Benja-
min Russell, who is now employed at
Kramer's greenhouses in Anacostia.
E. .1. Reynolds has joined the Wash-
ington Florists Company's forces, hav-
ing (ome to this city from San Fran-
cisco, Cal., where he was employed
by the Art Flower Co. Mr. Reynolds
has been located in Denver and on
the coast for several years, prior to
which time he was in Newark, X. J.,
and other nearby cities. He is well
known on both coasts.

The Washington Florists Co. had
an exceptionally fine Halloween win-
dow last week. Thej had a reproduc-
tion of the old witch and her broom
sitting on the last quarter of the
moon with her old black cat -with one
eye white and the other blue, these
and that of the witch being formed
by electric lights. The figures were
suspended from the ceiling. The win
clow was decorated in imitation of a
farm yard. There were pumpkins.
cars of corn and other farm truck on
the moss covered floor, surrounded by
yellow and white dahlias and chrys-
anthemums and Killarney roses.

autumn leaves and potted ferns and
palms were used. F. H. Kramer fur-
nished a number of pieces, among
them being an enormous horseshoe of
vari-colored dahlias. C. J. Saunders
furnished a number of pieces all of
which were well made of white and
yellow chrysanthemums, ferns, smi-
lax, autumn leaves and yellow satin
ribbon. J. H. Small & Sons supplied
a green rustic basket filled with white
and yellow chrysanthemums, Ameri-
can Beauties, etc. Mayberry & Hoov-
er's contribution to the show con-
sisted of a handsome basketful of
dahlias. Marche & Co. furnished a
basket of dahlias and Richmonds:
George C. Shaffer a basket of Beau-
ties and chrysanthemums, and other
florists did their share. There were
probably thirty or forty more pieces
furnished by the different florists on
exhibition during the early part of the
week but space does not permit of
mention of more than perhaps the
leaders. CLARENCE L. UNZ.

NEWS NOTES.

Kansas City, Mo. — Sam Murray, bus-
ily engaged in the annual task of tying
Lorraine begonias, which are truly
grand this year, found time last week
to run over to Kinsely, Kansas, three
hundred miles away, and execute with
great success a $1400 wedding decora-
tion. Of course. Miss Hayden was on
the job also. Undertakings of this
kind are only passing incidents in the
life of this busy young lady who
stands in the first rank on floral work.

Portland, Ore. — Martin & Forbes
write HORTICULTURE that they have
built one house, 25 x 100, in addition
to the four recently reported. This
new range is on a 50-acre tract pur-
chased last spring and will be devoted
almost entirely to the growing of roses
and carnations for their own retail
trade. The old plant of 100,000 feet
of glass will now be given over almost
entirely to plant growing. The new
plant will be added to as the demand
grows.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

A good frost would help stir things
up. We want the geranium, the sage
and the dahlia off the lawns. Then
there will be something doing in tulips
and hyacinths and sich! It would help
the cut flower business also. People
will not buy while they still have plen-
ty of good flowers on their own
grounds. Come on — old frosty pow!

The burning question among the
wholesalers is — why should we be
asked to send special and deliver free
— a twenty-five cent bunch of flowers
— ten miles. The free delivery system
is badly abused and relief must come.
They don't do it in other big cities.
Here's something for the new regime
in the Florists' Club to wrestle with.

"Progress in Floriculture" is the
subject of a free lecture to florists, by
Robert Craig, to be given under the
auspices of the Henry F. Michell Co.,
Saturday, Xovember 25th, 1911, at 3
P. M., at their newly appointed "Lec-
ture Hall," located on their main floor
at 518 Market street, Philadelphia. Mr.
Craig's ability not only as a grower
but also as an accomplished speaker is
a guarantee of a pleasant and instruc-
tive afternoon.

About the first of December Frank
W. Power, Sec'y. of the Oregon Horti-
cultural Society contemplates opening
a Horticultural Correspondence School
in connection with his other work at
Portland, Ore. Courses will be given
in the following subjects and later on
others will be added: Soils and their
adaptability to different fruits; in-
sect pests and their remedies; fungus
diseases and their remedies; planting
fruit trees, vines, etc; care and cultiva-
tion of the orchard; grading and pack-
ing fruit for the market; how to mar-
ket the products of the orchard; pre-
cooling of fruit before shipment; irri-
gation; budding and grafting in the
nursery; fertilizers: salesmanship (a
special course for nursery salesmen)
Address 1206 Yeon St.

At the first meeting of the Pasadena
(Cal.) Gardeners' Association held in
September, the proposition to change
the name of the Association to The
Pasadena Horticultural Society, was
unanimously adopted.

Seed Trade

Mr. Grenell Will Not Retire.

In our Issue of Oct -1st, we Btated
under the bead ol "Seed Trade Note8"
what we supposed was, and which «>•
have since learned is a matti i ol gen-
eral knowledge, thai w. n. Grenell,
had announced bis intention of Belling
a large part of bis Beed Btock, and
accepting no contracts tor the 1'J12
crop.

In a circular letter sent out by Mr.
Grenell, he had stated this tact, after
Kiviii^ bis various reasons tor arriving
at this decision. Now we have not
the sllghtesl intention ol butting into
Mr. Grenell's affairs or misrepresent-
ing him in any way. but simply printed
what we though! would be an Item
of general interest to the trade.

Mr. Grenell has written us protest-
ing againsl the Item we published i ad
saying thai be has no Intention of re-
tiring from the Beed-growing business
mil thai In- intends to grow peas and
beans on contract for 1912, the same
as be has for the past thirty years or

more We ;ii,' cliel iii :'i\ Mi (ire-

mil's denial of bis Intention to retire
the same publicity we did the other
statement, and while there may be an
apparent Inconsistency and contradic-
tion in these statements, be can no
doubt reconcile them and we wish
him sin cess, as heretofore in Ins busi-
ness.

The Advance in Pea Prices.

Just at the present time, there is
very little of interest worthy of note
in the trade. Nearly everyone is busy
with bulbs and other fall requisites,
and the seed end of the business has
not received much attention tor the
coming year as yet There Is one mat-
ter, however, which will doubtless, at-
tract much attention in the near fu-
ture and that is the contrai tiug pi ices
for peas for the crop of 1912. while
so far as we know, no contracts have
yet been booked, we are Informed that
prices will show a sharp advance over
last year's, ranging from flftj cuts to
one dollar per bushel .lust how the
trade will view this advance remains
to be Been, but from the Beed grower's
point of view, it is inevitable and we
are inclined to think that when the
trade fully appreciates the difficulties
which besel tie seed grower, they will
consider that the advanced pile
not u a enable or unjustifiable

For the past five yeai s, I be gi owera
have suffered losses, varying from a
fey thousands ol dollars to man]
thousands, and it is doubtful if any
ol them have madi a dollar tor an av-
erage of more than five years, bul this
IS a matter that calls tor special ,'real-
ment and we shall no dOUbl have oc-

■ asion to refer to it again In the near

future.

practically none were carried over

tfjj A hundred-story office
^ building is proposed for
erection in New York City, to
be over 1000 feet in height.
A fifty story one is now being
constructed two blocks from
our office. These fine edifices
are monuments to master minds
of the present day. One thinks
only of the height and magnif-
icence of the building, but the
principle part of such construc-
tion lies almost without regard
— the foundation. Just think
of the weight of a hundred
story building — better still go
to the top of a twenty story
one to think about it. The av-
erage man has no conception
of the immensity of the under-
taking. The building is ap-
preciated as an end without
regard to the means. That's
the way with lily bulbs. A
grower appreciates an excellent
crop of (lowers, but he seldom
considers that the foundation
of his successful crop was care-
fully laid in Japan or in Ber-
muda by painstaking and
patient bulb growers — men
who love bulbs and their pro-
pagating. The best (lowers
always come from the best
bulbs. Horseshoe Brand lily
bulbs are the best you can buy
anywhere in the world. There
are none better grown. They
are cultivated and exported to
support the highest class of
trade and to satisfy the most
careless growers. There could
be no surer foundation to suc-
cess in lily growing than these
bulbs, and you need them in
your business. They are worth
all they cost and more often
more. Write us.

CUCUMBER LOSSES AT ROCKY
FORD.

Editor HORTICULTURE: We no-
ticed in a recent issue of HORTICUL-
TURE, your remarks in relation to the
cucumber crop and in connection with
same, wish to advise that we have re-
ceived notice from our growers at
Rocky Ford, Colo., stating that they
had a severe snow storm in the Ar-
kansas Valley at Rocky Ford last Fri-
day and that one-third of the cucum-
ber crop was still in the fields. This
may make a serious loss of the cucum-
ber crops in that locality, especially
If the cucumber become soft on ac-
count of the snow and cold weather
followed by warm weather; also if the
seed in the pits which have been har-
vested become chilled or frozen. The
growers are guarding against loss all
they can, but it is difficult to save the
crops under the above conditions.
Trusting this may be of interest to
you, we remain

DETROIT NOTES.
Chas. Greening of Munroe, Mich

al Harper Hospital for an operation
for appendicitis.

Harry Raekham has opened his new
store on Woodward avenue. Having
passed all his life in the florist busi-
ness he has become well acquainted
with the many expenses connected
with the retailing of flowers and is
therefore a most welcome competitor
in the local field.

A colonial archway leads into a well-
w ntilated conservatory with centre-
bench and side benches. The walls are
covered with tuffa. There is a very
light and well ventilated workroom.
11x42. The rear part is a two-story
building containing room for two otttos
and sleeping quarters and storage
rooms upstairs.

After many weeks of tedious waiting
B. Schroeter has finally the satisfac-
tion to occupy his new store. Tin-
store is 30x36 with a white brick front,
two windows with platforms of small
white enamel tiles. To the right is an
icebox 13x10 and 4 feet deep, while to
the left is a COSJ place furnished with
brown reed furniture and adjoining is
the counter and an enclosed private
office. FRANK DANZER.

Flower Market Reports

Business In Boston is "on
boston the blink Indeed , the
wholesale marl
periencing the worst Bwamp thej bave
bad lur a long time Chrysantbemums
are a veritable avalanche and are part-
|j responsible for the present slu
conditions. They are magnifici i
to quality but the sali a are verj close-
ly limited to the medium grad Car
nations are also of excellent quality
but are being received In unwieldy
quantities, the whites having the best
of the call. Roses are unloaded with
difficulty, especially the older varieties.
The newer sorts, such as Ladj minus
don, Taff and .Mrs Ward arc enjoying
the lion's share of such demand as ex-
ists, orchids arc suffering with the
rest. Cattlcyas are moving slowly and
oncidiums whicb are of superb quality

in wholesalers' hands. Lilies and
lily ol the valley are also in the dumps.
Violets are poor in quality and thus
far have bad little appreciation in this
market

Flowers of all kinds

BUFFALO were plentiful the past
week and high prices
were out of the question. Cold weath-
er was looked for and was had though
it did not check the heavy supply. The
! frosts have cut the out door
out entirely hut heavy rei
in ordinary chrysanthemums bave
blocked the market. Some select stock
is now had and have sold satisfactor-
ily. Carnal ions, roses, violets, lily of
the vallei and everything is had in
plentiful supply. Asparagus, adiantum
and all other greens also in good sup-
ply

Last week emphasized

CHICAGO the change that has
come over the market
during the past month. If the first
part of October was not equal in vol-
ume of trade to that of some other
years the closing week has changed
the totals and both home and ship-
ping trade were excellent. Customers
no longer made their own prices, but
promptly secured the stock and were
glad to get it at a fair valuation. Me-
dium and poor stock had been a little
hard to move, especially in chrysanthe-
mums, of which there has been so fai
an unusual proportion of stock that
tends to keep down prices, but was
nearly all cleaned up Saturday and
Sunday. The southern orders took
away many of the larger chrysanthe-
mums, as All Souls' Day usually does,
and left the home market in good
shape for the new week. The early
chrysanthemums are about gone and
the later ones are in a little earlier
than usual. Pompons are setting more
plentiful and a good supply of Zenobia
is seen. The demand for cattleyas is
reported as a little slow. Roses of all
kinds are moving promptly and the
scarcity of short stocl eable,

the standard varieties still having the
preference. Carnations are especially
fine and the most fastidious buyer
could ask for nothing bettet Lily of
the valley is good and the supply
keeps up to the demand. Excellent
green of all kinds to be had.

The markel during

CINCINNATI the past fortnight

has been marked by

idual accumulation of white roses

and longiflorum lilies and a I

glut of Estelle chrysanthemums. By

Flower Market Reports.

(Continued from tare bjl)

and beginning of this showed tenden-
cies to run short. The red are now
showing their good colors and the
Rose Pink Enchantress has its cold
weather hue. Most of the offerings
are now long-stemmed. Chrysanthe-
mums of course are the blooms that
are in demand. The varieties with
good well formed flowers have little
trouble in finding a market. The de-
mand for lily of the valley and or-
chids has slacked a little, while all
violets both double and single sell
well. Boxwood has been added to the
green goods line and new galax will
be here within a week.

The situation has
NEW YORK been quite unsat sfac-

tory here, from the
viewpoint of the grower and whole-
sale dealer for the past two weeks
There is a heavy influx of chrysanthe
mums and other staples which coming
upon a low-spirited market has had
a very depressing effect on values.
Sales have lagged and where large
•quantities are concerned have been
effected only at a considerable sacri-
fice on price. All the mid-season and
many of the late chrysanthemums are
on the regular daily list now. Robin-
son, Taft and other large flowered
sorts are apparently less popular with
the buyer than the old standard com-
mercial variety, Ivory. Lilies are se'l-
ing very low. Roses are very abun-
dant. Colder weather is needed.

Last week started
PHILADELPHIA out in much bet-
ter shape owing
to clear weather, less baseball and
more football, the latter being a help
to the flower business and the former
a. detriment. Plenty of stock all along
the line, particularly roses, carnations,
and chrysanthemums. We are getting
the last of the early chrysanthemums
and are starting on the mid-season
varieties which meant a week of me-
dium-class bloom with very few speci-
men flowers coming to the market:
prices low, the poorer stock being sold
at any figure that could be gotten and
no reasonable offer refused. Quite a
few pompons coming in with some
beautiful flowers in the spraj varieties
in pink, yellows ami whites, including
the pink and yellow Garza which are
very beautiful indeed. These and the
ordinary pompons are becoming more
popular every year and will continue
so as they are very valuable for all
kinds of work, not only for vase work
hut in decorating effects. With the
cooler weather carnations are still im-

proving, better stems and better qual-
ity. Prices are also improving but
are ruling low. Roses are improving
in quality, prices holding fairly good
although low. The novelties, parti-
cularly Mrs. Taft, are selling well.
This is a grand rose and bound to be
a winner, providing it is a money-
maker from the grower's standpoint.
Gardenias are still scarce and the qual-
ity medium. The prospects are that
they will be more plentiful and the qual-
ity better shortly. It is to be hoped
so, anyway, as there is a good demand
for them. The glut of cattleyas is
somewhat over, the growers reporting
a shortening up of crops which will
have a tendency to stiffen the prices,
and then too with a better demand,
we should find the orchid market in
much better shape. Lily of the valley
is selling well, quality good. Greens
are generally moving slowly; supply
plentiful. Dahlias held on longer than
usual this year; in fact, too long for
the greenhouse men, as quantities of
dahlias were moved after chrysanthe-
mums became plentiful, thus cheapen-
ing the prices on all kinds of flowers.
We believe it would have been better
for the business if we had had frost
a little earlier, although of course the
dahlia man is expected to have his
innings and this year has been a good
one for him although prices have not
been high at any time but immense
quantities of dahlias were moved all
over the country.

A general improved
PROVIDENCE condition has been
noticeable in the
market during the past week and with
an increase in the supply of stock
there has also been a stiffening of
prices, indicating a healthy condition
of trade. The popular carnation is
coming in good quantities and the
quality is excellent. The quality of
the chrysanthemums on the market
is much better and in another week
this Bowl r will be at its height.
Choice blooms are bringing $12 to $14
per 100 and the demand is very fair.
Although not as plenty as they have

been, there is a fine crop of roses in
the market, with the supply in excess
of the demand. There are a lot of vio-
lets with a dull market at 50 cents

Flower Market Reports

(Continued from page O43)

per 100. There has been a good de-
mand for green and decorative goods
for Hallowe'en. A considerable quan-
tity of mignonette was disposed of dur-
ing the week at $3 per 100.

The wholesalers say
ST. LOUIS that last week was a

good one with them
and all fancy stock sold well. Plenty
of stock is being consigned to this
market, chrysanthemums being quite
heavy at present and bringing a good
price. Roses of all usual varieties are
most plentiful. Carnations are some-
what scarce. Violets are looking bet-
ter each day. The frost of the pa:t
week has killed oft' all outdoor stock —
the retailers all say that the business
has picked up greatly since the cold
weather set in.

The decided
WASHINGTON change in the wea-
ther last week and
the exceptional number of large wed-
dings and funerals created a grea;
boom locally. In addition to this sev-
eral of the large department stores
celebrated anniversaries and thes?
called for large quantities of cut flow-
ers. The frost of Thursday and Fri-
day nights killed off a lot of the out-
door stock, much to the delight of
those operating houses. Cosmos and
dahlias will soon be memories anj
their going brings in the chrysanthe-
mum, which, at this writing, is coming
into the market in excellent shape.
One local firm is cutting between two
and four thousand blooms daily and
are disposing of all they cut. All stock
is very' plentiful with the possible ex-
ception of carnations, which, however,
aiv of fine quality. Orchids and gar-
denias are plentiful and the supply and
demand are about equal. The noith-
ern violets are very good, indeed, and
are being sold in larger quantities.
Lily of the valley is going good and
greens are also moving well. Roses
are more plentiful and in better shape
than they have been. Business has
been very good and there has been
little cause for complaint.

HERE is a beautiful formal sunken garden, flanked on two sides by U-Bar greenhouses. These bc.us.-s
replaced those of other constructions that were torn down because they were not in keeping
The U-Bar was chosen because of its airy gracefulness, durability and unmatched productiveness.
These are the points on which it wins out. Always it is a ease of superior points — and not one of mere prire.
The best, of course, must cost more But U-Bar houses are worth a good deal more than their difference

LILIUM HARRISII

"The E3 g i- r-r-i i_i d a Easter- Lily

l_ET US supply your- wants i i-i l_ilie>s -this season

We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer Is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but Is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown ou the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little. If any. stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $10.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $1S00 per case: full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1.000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

N'ephrolepis Bostoniensis and Piersoni, 6-in. pots $0.50 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 8-ln. plants $1.00 to 1.50 each

AZALEA MOLLIS

Uen1 for forcing all thr

,', as they have
some very charming colore noi Been in the evei
ones. Pot them as boob as . >u receive them, give a
good soaking of water ots, and tore away in

some coldframe and keep cool until they are wanted for
forcing. They can be forced into blooming in 6 or 7
week* it* given a I ire of about 55 degrees at

night with a i arough the day with

Sunshine. Swinge freely and the plants will break
a\va\ quickly. When the flowers are all nieely expanded
they will last longer and be hetter for the custom
kept 10 or 15 degrees cooler. It does not pay to start
too many together as they do not keep so long as tin
Indian azaleas.

GLADIOLI FOR FOECING

All the small-bulbed gladioli such as Colvillci The
Bride, Peach Blossom, Crimson Queen, Mathilde, Blush-
ing Bride and others that were started in September
and grown in a cold frame, if not already removed to a
cool greenhouse should be so treated now. They should
stay there until after the first week in January when the
boxes or flats will he well-filled with roots and a top
gondii started. Don't give them too high a tempera-
ture for it will only make them grow weak and spindly
and the flowers will lack substance. Keep the temper-
ature as near 50 degrees at night as possible as this is as
high as they seem to care for. Some weak liquid ma-
nure about once a week will help the size of the flower.
Some time during this month all the large-bulbed kinds
such a- America, Augusta, Mrs. Francis King, Shakes-
peare, Brenchleyensis, and others can be planted in
boxes which should be from 6 to 8 inches deep or they
can be planted where the chrysanthemums have been.
Planted an ram the last of this month until mid-

dle of December i! I be ready to cut about the

middle of March. It i- better to make successive plant-
ings about every two weeks thereby prolonging the season,
They like a good rich compost, say about two-thirds of
well-decayed sod and one-third well-rotted barnyard
manure. Give them ten inches between the rows and
four inche □ the bulbs will be ample. Maintain

a free circulation of air when possible.

I, HUM M.ULTIFLOROI AND GIGANTEUM

Pot these bulbs as soon as you get them as they don't
gain anything by being left lying around and as Easter
comes on April 7th next year it will take all their time
to make roots ami ird forcing later on to have

them on time. The pots gem rally used are 5 or 6-inch
according to the size of the bulbs. Place them beneath
a bench in a cool house where they will not get much
drip, as that is sure to sodden and sour the soil. See
that the soil is just kept moderately moist. In eight
or ten weeks they will have made a few roots. These
lilies want very little water until they have made some
good roots, but wl have filled their pots with

roots they will want an abundance of water. Give them
a bench in a cool house when they have made a growth
of a few inches. The giganteums that you want to re-
tard for later should bi n a cold frame and pro-

tected with Bash until after the New Year and th< ■

hi have, with plenty of ven-
ion.

If thr and well |">i bound they

should be repotted into 7 or 8-inch pots, using a rich

part of broken up
eow manure, with a good sprinkling of line bone and a
little soot. I'.< ; i : !i I . .■, n on in a

cool house with plentj of light, by spring they will be
blooming freely and will make good salable I

Now is a good time to insert a batch of cuttings
as these will make excellent stock when grown on up to
a 5 or 6-inch for late spring flowering and especially for
Memorial Day.

PEEPAEING LAND FOE NEXT TBAB

Every florist who has land in which to grow his stock
should always make it an aim to restore to the soil some
of the organic and mineral substances which have been
taken away by previous crops. The first thing that
suggests itself is manuring as an expedient in upholding
its fertility. Now is a good time to give your land a
liberal dressing of coarse barnyard manure and by plow-
ign or digging now instead of in the spring you will
gain a whole lot in texture and fertility. This is about
the only means of bringing heavy soils into proper con-
dition for early planting. The freezing and thawing
that it goes through during the winter makes it free
from all acidity and sogginess and leaves it in a finely
pulverized form for final preparation in the spring. Give
your crops a change from one piece of ground to another
every year as the nourishing substances essential for one
particular kind of plants differ from those needed by
another. Some flo -tablishments have quite a
lot of land under cultivation so can reclaim their worn-
out land by running if in grass crops for a few years
when it will again be fit a- tillable land. For those that
ly a comparatively -mall parcel of land and can-
not afford to let it lit1 idle for tin- time there is nothing
better than oil plow following a flcr
an ordinarj plow loosei lower layer of soil and
fairly well intermixing the two. Where the ground
ana is very limited there i- nothing better than the
more thorough going procedure of trenching, with a
heavy coat of manure intermixed with the surface soil.

ROMAN HYACINTHS FOE CHRISTMAS

To have these bulbs in flower and in good shape for
Christmas they should first of all have good roots with
a top growth of two or three inches before they are
brought into heat, othc . will be a failure,

them a temperature of 50 di >r the first ten

and do aegri , i up until the flowers ire well ope
they should expand their flowers full open in a house
is much cooler with plenty of fresh air. They
should be alb" 6 to 7 weeks to pert'

selves.

What the
dahlia needs

V, municipal park system is adequately
equipped without such structures. Where
i,e\ have lie. ii supplied the interest displayed bj t hi
publii e throngs of people thai frequent them on

ial floral Bhow days oughi to confound and silence
an\ argument thai could possibly be advanced for theii
exclusion. All honor to the benefactress who chose this
utilitarian form of memorial instead <>( mh-< 1 im-\ nl
stained glass windows and marble sculptures. Eer ex-
ample i- w orl h\ of eiiiulat ion.

We have all heard from time to time
more or less disparagement of the
dahlia as a desirable garden ornament.
No douht the criticisms are founded on
grounds i 'e or less substantial and valid but the peru-
sal of a communication such as we give publicity to in
another page of this paper is calculated to start new
trains of thought and suggest inquiry as to whether it is

the dahlia itself or its pro ters and sponsors thai are

most to Maine. The letter of Mr. Betscher from which
we quote was a private one and we have quoted Erom
it without permission, hut we think it is the sort of talk
which should have wide publicity and of which we have
not nearly enough. We have heretofore urged in these
columns, on behalf of the dahlia and its need- towards
future popularity, that on the matters of color, form
and size, for instance, we might well afford to let it stand
where it is for a time, while we try to develop in it the
qualities of more compact and less rampant growth, ear-
lier and more abundant blooming and more upright flow-
ers on taller and stiller stalks. Put into the quest for
these qualities the same amount of effort which has
been expended on color and form of flower and it will
not take long to move the dahlia away up towards the
top of the list of garden favorites.

Among the essentials for success in any
venture it is safe to say that no one
qualification counts for more than en-
It has been said that "without enthusiasm
the man's other good qualities are nearlj lost." True
as this is of an individual it is even more so of an asso-
ciation. This was deeply impressed upon us by the
hearty zeal and confident self-reliance which character-
ized the n ting in Boston la-i Saturdaj in the interests

of the Sweet Pea Society of America and the exhibition
which is to be held in Boston next summer by that
young organization and the Massai husetts Horticultural
Society jointly. The optimism which prevailed was not
in the air" kind but was of the most sub-
stantial character and so infectious that every one pres-
ent was tided with its ardor. George C. Watson, who
only Looked in on the meeting for a few moments on his
way to Philadelphia was bo imbued with its influence
thai he was impelled to write' us in glowing words about
tin Great Power which seems now to be inspiring so
many to work for the elevation and advancement of
Aineii, an horticulture. Mark the sweet pea demonstra-
of next July a- destined to be an eye-opener as to
well-directed enthusiasm can accomplish. Then
consider whether any club or society in which you are
enrolled is lacking in that respect and get busy. There's
no excuse for a decadent society in these days of in-
spiring horticultural outlook.

THE EXHIBITIONS

RED BANK, N. J.

That which is accomplished under
most difficulties deserves highest
praise and in this manner do we con-
sider the I itli annual exhibition of the
Monmouth County Horticultural Socie-
ty held at the armory, Red Bank, Nov.
2nd and 3rd. In the first place one had
to climb up a dark stairway to a very
unattractive room. Then again there
were many absent from the benches of
this show who held prominent places
there in other years. Therefore the en-
tire thing depended on a few brave
hearts and right nobly did they re-
spond. Consequently we praise rather
than criticize. It has been deeply im-
pressed upon the minds of competitors
at all the exhibitions in and around
New York that a few men from New
Jersey not only helped very consider-
ably to make all the shows successful
but also won many of the principal
awards. We hope the next show given
at Red Bank will be remarkable for
the amount of outside competitors.
They deserve it, and reciprocity in
this manner will bear good fruit. The
quality of blooms shown here were
equal to and in many cases superior to
those seen elsewhere. After the judg-
ing a mixed battalion of good-fellows
escorted the judges, Messrs. William
Duckham, Peter Duff and John Brun-
ger to the Globe Hotel where a de-
lightful dinner and conversazione was
indulged in. Bright indeed were the
unset jewels of rhetoric that shone in
that jolly crowd on all topics from
pumpkin mother's pie to Jersey light-
ning politics. Charlie McTaggart being
the only seedman present had to give
a skirl on seeds. A searching party
was sent out for Al. Rickards who got
his squad 'round some corner into
some unknown cosey place. It's al-
ways a misfortune to miss 'Al.' There
was very considerable fun on the al-
leys at Sheridan's and was sorry we
had to leave it all there.

AMERICAN INSTITUTE.

The annual Chrysanthemum Show
of the American Institute was held in
their rooms at the Berkeley Lyceum,
New York, on November 1st, 2nd and
3rd. It was as usual a very pleasing
success. The classes were well ar-
ranged. The prizes, good solid cash
in plentiful proportion, brought out
both quality and novelty seen no
where else. No such display of
anemone chrysanthemums was seen at
any other show, and then again the
incurved and reflexed types were each
provided for separately, thus bringing
forward many otherwise neglected
beauties and affording each a fair
chance. Music and attendance and the
ever infectious smile and witticisms
of the manager. William Rickards.
made all hands happy. Wm. Eagleson,
the secretary, and his attendants de-
serve much credit for their courtesy
and efficiency.

EXHIBITION AT STAMFQRD, CONN.

The first annual exhibition of the
Westchester and Fairfield Horticul-
tural Society held in the Casino at
Stamford, Conn., on Nov. 3rd and 4th
was a great success in every way.
This young, vigorous society has cer-
tainly done wonderfully well. The ex-
hibits on this occasion came largely
from the magnificent establishments of
the millionaires along and adjacent to
the shore of Long Island Sound and
where expert gardeners who have
served their years of apprenticeship in
the horticultural profession in many
parts of the world are employed. Stam-
ford, a large manufacturing town with
many saloons, Chinese laundries and
immense churches is minus a decent-
sized exhibition hall, consequently
this most creditable display had to be
jammed into a small room. This is
the first time probably that the need
of a larger hall has been brought prac-
tically to the notice of the citizens of
the town and it ought to be the means
of getting one. All the most promi-
nent people of the section visited the
show. Whole families were brought
out in autos and jumped about in glee
over their pets. During the afternoon
people had to wait outside until room
to get in was made. It was all pleas-
ingly inspiring to the promoters and
those who had to do the work. Gera-
niums and orchids were elegant, car-
nations plentiful, chrysanthemums of
good size and the table decorations
were excellent.

MT. KISCO, N. Y.

The ninth annual exhibition of the
Northern Westchester County Horti-
cultural and Agricultural Society was
given at Whitlock's Garage, Mt. (Cis-
co, on Nov. 3rd, 4th and 5th. It was
the only place available in this thriv-
ing village 'mid big domains, so the
automobiles were shoved into barns
and Miss Flora reigned in their stead.
i i ere were many almost unsurmount-
able obstacles in the way of location,
— the barn-like structure, and above
all the Bower-Wiling oil smells and it
required courage and go-aheadedness
to gel up a show under such difficul-
ties, but somehow it was done, and

i .] away, as it were, in this garage

leit. away up mid the hills of West-
chester, we found warm hearts, bright
spirits and Bowers equal to many we
have seen in large cities. We only
hope that another year will provide a
more suitable hall for these persistent
missionaries in a good cause.

RHODE ISLAND HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
The annual autumn show of the
Rhode Island Horticultural Society
was held in Elysium Hall, Providence,
R. I., Nov. 4 and 5, and the exhibit
was far superior to any in recent
years.

A new departure was made in the
decorative scheme by the introduction
of mantel decorations and the corners
of the hall were given over to foliage
displays and garden evergreens giving
a harmonizing and very artistic set-
ting. The cut flower section was also
a centre of attraction. Three large
tables were laden with vases contain-
ing choice specimens of single and
double chrysanthemums, carnations
and roses. A noticeable contrast in
the make-up of the show was in evi-
dence through the activity and coopera-
tion of the members of the Florists'
and Gardeners' Club, particular atten-
tion being given to the quality rather
than the quantity of the exhibits. The
show management expressed much sat-
isfaction with the manner in which
the growers and commercial men came
forward in support of the endeavors
of the society and as a result it is felt
that, as a whole, they were well re-
paid for their efforts.

The judges were Eugene McCarren
and Cornelius Hofstra, both of Provi-
dence. A joint exhibition of fruit by
the society and a Rhode Island Boys
Corn Show under the Rhode Island
State Board of Agriculture were held
in connection with the flower show
The following awards were made:

TARRYTOWN (N. Y.) EXHIBITION.

Continued List of Prizes.

The s ind day of the show at Tarry-
town added much to the interest. There

tion by private gardeners, all of them most
creditable. First prize was won by John

Btyle of small vases dotted about
the table. They were filled with alternate
pink and white Klllarneys and enneatum
fern, with a radiation <'f Dracaena lndtvisa
foliage from the central vase. John Can-
not second with a centerpiece of
id roses and Farleyense enclosed

New Orleans, La. — There was a
steady stream of visitors — 2,000 or
more — on October 29 at the grounds
e Metairie Ridge Nursery on the
ion of the fall opening to the
public. Mayor Behrman, who was
present, made an address in very com-
plimentary vein and Mr. Papworth re-
i -iatively. Refreshments
were served and the visiting ladies
received souvenirs and flowers.

ELBERON HORTICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.

Tlu i imil \iinual Exhibition of this
young ami vigorous society was held
at the New Casino, on the beach at
Asbury Park, X. .).. Nov. 7th ami 8th.
A fine building ami it was tin- best
show ever given by the society, cred-
itable in every way. The Forms of
orchids and plains and some of the mi
chrysanthemums shone out most
promini nlly and were of unexcelled
quality. Most of the classes were open
to members only, which had a very
much-afraid look. Outsiders won all
in the open classes and in this light
the successi s of Geo. H. Hale and Wil-
liam Vert were all the more impressive.
Asbury Park, beautiful in the summer-
time has the appi arance of a dead city
at this time of the year, all the big
hotels and houses being closed. There
is, however, considerable of a scattered
population and this we hope will make
the ..vent a financial success, for the
hard work and its result — a might v
good little show — deserves to win on I
in every waj .

Local professional florists and gar-
deners took advantage of the occasion
to make creditable displays. N. A
Corlin occupied the stage with a very
attractive laid-out garden in gravelled
walks and exotic groups, the whole
specially illuminated. Ross & Fen-
ton put up a miniature garden with
cottage, lake. etc. William Tricker
had a group of his new Vinca; M. H.
Kruschka, a nice group of palms and
flowering plants suitable for house cul-
ture. These were arrayed with live
singing birds in cages. The Moon-
Seed Co., Phila., showed a table of
bulbs, etc., W. W. Kennedy & Sons.
Rfd Bank, and Frank Logan of Rum-
son, contributed interesting displays
of outdoor chrysanthemums for ex-
hibit only.

In the evening all were entertained
at dinner given by the society, at the
Dell Country Club, where good cheer
cemented good fellowship.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF
NEW YORK.

The above Society's Fall Exhibition
was held in the Museum of Natural
History, New York City, from Novem-
ber 3rd to 7th, and was a great sur-
prise in every way. Entrance was
free and there was a continuous stream
of visitors. Teachers brought their
classes from all the private and pub-
lic schools in the neighborhood. Some
3,000 people passed through in four
hours on Sunday. It was all splendid
missionary work and this young So-
ciety is to be congratulated on the
good work it is doing. Something
like 150 new members have joined it
within a year, and judging from pres-
ent methods and works it is destined
to be a Society worthy of the metrop-
olis.

Orchids were the great feature;
they were all superb. Then those
vases of 50 roses e^ch were a revela-
tion to all and Canning's chrysanthe-
mum bush plants were the largest
ever shown in the United States, at
least. Single and pompon chrysanthe-
mums had a winning time of it and
made most friends.

A detailed account of the exhibits
is deferred till next week on account
of lack of space in this issue.

THE DETROIT SHOW.

As the time for our club show ap-
proaches we begin to realize that the
entire 20th Century building will be
none too large for the expected ex-
hibits.

Beautiful cups have been donated by
Mrs. S. Newberry, Mrs. Helen New-
berry', Harry Basley, Wm. Hielscher,
Albert Pochelon. Phil. Breitmeyer.
Kenneth-Anderson Co., Michigan Cut
Flower Exch., Detroit Florist Club.
Henry A. Dreer. Foley Mfg. Co., Lord
& Burnham Co.. Kroeschell Bros. Co..
A. Henderson Co., S. S. Skidelsky and
Lohrman Seed Co., besides nearly $50u
in cash prizes.

While this show is confined to local
club members only, prizes are only
awarded to the growers. Certain rooms
have been set aside, however, for the
retailers but they will exhibit without
competition.

Officers were elected as follows at
the annual meeting of the Worcester
County, Mass., Horticultural Society:
Edward W. Breed of Clinton, presi-
dent; Arthur J. Marble, Charles
Greenwood and Herbert R. Kinney, all
of Worcester, vice-presidents; Leonard
C, Midgely of Worcester, secretary:
Burt W. Greenwood of Worcester,
treasurer: Albert H. Lange. Myron W.
i'i inverse and Allyn W. Hixon. all of
Worcester, new members of the board
of trustees The society has gained 26
new members during the past year,
and lost 11. The report of Treasurer
Greenwood showed receipts of $44,-
277.01 and expenditures of $34,154.81.

BRITISH HORTICULTURE.
The International Horticultural Exhi-
bition.

Committees have been appointed in
various counties to ;issisi in the or-
ganization of the Royal International
Horticultural exhibition to be held In
London next year. Some correspond-
ence has taken place in the press as
to the charges proposed to be made for
admission. The directors have now-
decided to provide speeial facilities to
professional gardeners, and also reduc-
tions in the charges to the general
public. The size of the ground at Chel-
sea is 2] acres; seven acres are occu
pied by trees, shrubs, and the remain-
ing 14 acres will lie available for the
marquees, out-door exhibits, adminis-
trative offices, etc. Numerous applica-
tions have been received from British
growers for space in the fioricultural
section, whilst the foreign department
will be of a very representative char-
acter. A splendid list of special prizes
is being got together. There will be a
special section for horticultural sun-
dries. The exhibits will be given
prominent positions in the grounds,
both under cover and in the open. In
every case the awards will be made by
special jurymen, as is the case at the
chief European exhibitions. It is ex-
pected that the event will attract
nurserymen and florists from all parts
of the world, so that a favorable op-
portunity will be afforded for an inter-
change of ideas on international trade

matters.

Spring Bulb Show.

A special exhibition of forced spring
bulbs is being arranged by the Royal
Horticultural Society to take place in
March next year, the object being to
determine the varieties most suitable
for gentle forcing. The trade as well
as amateur growers are invited to com-
pete. The society medals and prizes
will be presented by the General Bulb
Growers of Haarlem. The trade grow-
ers' classes include a collection of 100
hyacinths in 20 named varieties, five
blooms of each variety; and a collec-
tion of 120 hyacinths in 12 varieties in
pans, 10 bulbs of one variety in each
pan. The gold medal of the Haarlem
Society is to be awarded for the best
exhibit. There is also a special prize
for bulbs grown in moss, fibre, or sim-
ilar material. W. H. ADSETT.

ROSES IN CUBA.

Secretary Benj. Hammond of the
American Rose Society, has received
the following communication from
Holguin, Cuba:

Dear Mr. Hammond:— I am very much
interested in roses but I find It very hard
to take the descriptions of the American
rose firms and make them all give the re-
sults described. I have the following kinds
which have done very well for me in Cuba,
and l should be verj glad if you would
suggest some other additions, and where
they can be secured, and I shall lie glad
to try them out. 1 bud them all on a non-
blooming stock we have here In I uba. It
is very easily rooted, and a very vigorous
grower, and one that if it would stand the
••old I believe would lie a magnificent stock
for the American rose grower.

There is small demand an -• the Ameri-
can's for roses lore; but the Cubans are
great flower lovers, and all the patios are
small gardens of flowers.

This is the list mentioned: American
I'.eautv. I'aul Nevron, KUlarney, Maman
Cochet, White Marecbal Niel, I'erle des
Jardines, Helen Gould, Kalserln Aug1. Vic-
toria, and a few others who noes I
have missed, but they have nothing strik-
ing about them. The Cubans like the roses
with color. Very truly yours,

T. It TOWNS.

A BERMUDA LETTER.
Editor HORTICULTURE:

Dear Sir — I enclose a little picture
of Araucarias or "Norfolk Island
Pines" growing at Sunnylands. This
was taken about four weeks ago 'I hose
trees have been growing about fifteen
years and are at least fifty feet high.
One of the trees has several large
Cones on its topmost branches. 1 have

another large pine on the farm which
is about seventy feet high and has
quite a crop of cones thereon. And
from now on I hope to have plentj
of seed and can grow my own plants
instead of buying abroad. If these
cones are as good as other seeds grown
on the place like Pandanus utilis, Phoe-
nix, Latanias and Cycas revoluta, I
ask for nothing better as they are all
about 99 per cent, germination. Of the
cycas seeds I will have a crop of about

20 bushels as they are all ripe for
gathering.

The Ficus pandurata grows well and
takes kindly to our soil and climate.
In October, 1910, I planted a good spec
imen in the garden near the house. It
was two feet high at time of plan
today it is ten feet high, and with
handsome lateral branches, and with
the large fiddle-shaped leaves over lit" -
ti en inches In length.

I have been experimenting with dif-
ferent trees, to find what will grow
and also fast growing trees. Our
islands are quite popular as a «
and summer resort and we are need-
ing such trees to decorate our high-
ways to make it more attractive to out-
northern visitors. Possibly you or
your readers may be able to suggest
some other trees that would do well
in a climate like this, where the
perature never goes below 50 in winter
and seldom over 85 in summer.

Yours very truly

GLADIOLUS AND DAHLIA NOTES.
c. Betscher, of Canal Dover, Ohio,
has been doing a vast amount of glad-
iolus hybridizing the past summer.
With the very line seedlings already

produced and the finest of the fluids,
I.emoine. Yilmorin and l'fisler produc-
tions, his stock is taking high posi-
tion in the most advanced class. Rela-
tively, as visitors assure us, the Bets-
cher seedlings are grand and in a dis-

iiet class by themselves. In a re-
ci ni letter from Mr. Betscher he
writes as follows:

NATIONAL SWEET PEA SOCIETY
OF AMERICA.

At the executive meeting of the
National Sweet Pea Society of Ameri-
ca, held at the Parker House, Boston,
Mass., November 3rd, President Sim
presiding, it was decided that the
fourth summer and annual exhibition
and convention of the society should
be held in Boston, Mass., July 13th
and 14th, 1912, in conjunction with the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society's
exhibition. Four hundred dollars was
set aside to be offered for prizes as
follows: $100 for wholesale growers,
$100 for private gardeners, $100 for the
amateur, $100 for retail florists.

The above will be in addition to tin-
general list of special prizes donated.
also apart from the prizes offered by
the Massachusetts Horticultural Socie-
ty.

There will be a meeting of the
schedule committee in Boston about
the middle of this month; suggestions
and prizes for this schedule are in-
Tited. We shall hope to have this pub-
lished not later than the first of De-
cember.

FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHING-
TON.

This club held its November meet-
ing in its rooms at 1214 F street, N.
W., at which place they have decided
to continue holding their meetings.
The question was put to the club fol-
lowing the receipt of the membership
committee's report and the vote to stay
was unanimous. Louis R. Freeman
and Clarence L. Linz representing
HORTICULTURE were duly elected to
membership.

The serious illness of William R.
Smith was reported to the club and it
was voted that a letter be sent him
hoping for his speedy recovery. Pres-
ident Mayberry reported having visited
him only to find him very low. Mr.
Smith is known and beloved from coast
to coast and the news of his illness
will cause sympathetic anxiety every-
where.

Following adjournment the members
partook of a buffet supper and listened
to the music and other entertainment.
This was given in the grotto which
was artistically decorated with Ameri-
tan flags and bunting for the occasion.

CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB.

This club held its regular meeting
Nov. 2, with a good attendance, in-
cluding all the officers. The meeting
was somewhat in the nature of a
flower show and a very creditable
exhibition of the season's blooms
awaited the coining of the members.
Applicants for membership included
Chas. W. Erne, 30 E. Randolph street,
Chicago; Edward H. Gale, 108 E. Dela-
ware street, Chicago: A. Vander- Pohl,
3S11 Harrison street, Chicago; James
B. Foley, 26th street and Western ave-
nue, Chicago; Isaac Cassidy, 26th
street and Western avenue, Chicago;
Win. F. Easting, Buffalo, X. Y.; Chas.
J. Bond, Naperville, 111.; Louis Lick-
enger. Andrew Bensen, Ed. Toeple,
Guy French, Tony Gable, Dick Salm,
all of Morton Grove, HI.

An invitation to visit the St. Louis
flower show Nov. 7 to 11 was read.
Short speeches were made by visitors
E. G. Hill. Richmond, Ind., W. R.
Pierson, Cromwell, Conn., H. Roth,
LaFayette. Ind., and R. M. Groves,
Adams, Mass.

The judges on carnations were John
Then, John Zeck and H. Yepsen. Three
seedlings were exhibited by the Chi-
cago Carnation Co., No. 150 scoring 88
points, No. 186 86 points and No. 49
87 points. Two of these are scarlets,
one easily five inches in diameter and
the other a dark pink, all to be dis-
seminated this season. Mr. Keimels,
D. A. Robertson and A. Erickson were
the judges of roses. Killarney Queen
scored 88 and Double White Killarney
87, both exhibited by A. N. Pierson,
and a seedling red rose by H. Roth
was given special mention. An exhibit
of orchids was made by Chas. J. Bond
of Naperville, 111., and awarded the club
certificate. Mr. Pierson extended invita-
tion to the club to attend the meeting
of the American Rose Society at De-
troit in January, 1912.

FLORISTS' CLUB OF PHILADEL-
PHIA.

Nothing really happened at the reg-
ular monthly meeting of the above
club. We all sat through the three
hours - waiting — but nothing hap-
pened! The meeting was memorable
for one thing. It had a good presi-
dent in J. Otto Thilow. He rushed
things through in spite of interrup-
tions and he got all his new commit-
tees appointed— just as he had planned
them. And by the looks of them, they
look like some thinking. As a new
shuffle, we haven't had anything like
it for many years. How it will work
out goodness only knows; but it looks
hopeful. Our advice to the president
is to boss his job, and above all to
pay no attention to the "Wiseheim-
ers."

PENNSYLVANIA HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

The Flower Show now on in Horti-
cultural Hall. Phila., is much better
than for four or five years back in
arrangement, quantity and quality,
both in cut blooms and specimen
plants as well as in the decorative de-
partments. All greatly ahead— thanks
to the hustle of Stroud. Thilow and
many others. Full account next week.

STATE FLORISTS' ASSOCIATION
OF INDIANA.

About fifty florists attended the No-
vember meeting of the Indiana State
Florists' Association at Richmond last
Tuesday at the E. G. Hill Co. green-
houses, where the business session
of the morning was held. Short talks
•were given by W. W. Coles of Koko-
mo; J. S. Stuart, Anderson; M. Heller,
New Castle; H. L. Weigand, Indianap-
olis; N. H. Gano, Martinsville; Theo-
dore Dorne'r, Lafayette; Roger Mur-

Knightstown, and W. H. Elverson, New
Brighton, Pa. Joseph H. Hill and E.
G. Hill also gave short talks on the
work they are carrying on. Nine new
members were added, making the
membership total almost 100.

At noon a lunchean was served, af-
ter which automobiles carried the flor-
ists on an inspection trip to the
Graves, Gause, Knopf and Lemon
greenhouses, and the Advance Ma-
chine Company's plant. The next
meeting will be at Indianapolis, De-

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

The meeting of the New York Flor-
ists' Club on Monday night, Nov. 13,
will be ladies' night and a fine enter-
tainment is promised.

One would imagine that the office of
president of the New York Florists'
Club would be dignified enough to
have invitations sent to visit the local
shows, but never a one came, and
when one considers the good fellow
and hard worker that occupies that
position at present, along with the
vast work done by the club, the neg-
lect seems all the more inexcusable.

The annual meeting of the North
Shore Horticultural Society and elec-
tion of officers took place Friday even-
ing, November 3. Herbert Shaw was
elected president; Herman Sanford,
vice-president; James Salter, clerk;
John Jaffrey, treasurer; and Robert A.
Mitchell, librarian. The executive
committee is: F. F. Brasch, A. E. Par-
sons, Joseph Clark, John Chapman and
Eric H. Wetterlow.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY OF
AMERICA.

Address by President Elmer D. Smith
before tlie Chrysanthemum Society or
America at St. Louis.
To the Members of the Chrysanthe-
mum Society of America:
This is our tenth annual joint meet-
ing and exhibition and as we will soon
be making history in a new decade,
permit me to briefly refer to what has
taken place since the Chrysanthemum
Society of America was organi/.. .1

This society was instituted at Buffa-
lo, New York, in August, 1890, and
from that time until the first exhibi-
tion was held in Chicago in 1902 the
annual meetings were held in the sum-
mer during the convention of the So-
ciety of American Florists and Orna-
mental Horticulturists.

The establishment of annual exhibi-
tions with executive sessions, seemed
to give the society new life. To my
mind the most worthy and beneficial
act the society performed during its
existence was that of appointing com-
mittees to commend such new varieties
as they consider improvements and
worthy of being disseminated.

We owe much to these committees
who meet yearly at intervals during
the flowering season at Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and
Chicago to inspect and pass judgment
upon these new candidates. The un-
selfish devotion they have given in
time and money to this work enables
the society to point out to the buying
public the best kinds for their pur-
pose. Their unbiased judgment is
clearly set forth by the fact that
the majority of the most popular kinds
today have received their approval.

You may question the truth of this
statement by citing some which
have not come up to your expectations,
but if you will scan the list of varie-
ties now conceded as our best commer-
cial sorts you will find the large ma-
jority have been certificated by this
society through its committees. It is
not to be expected they can determine
such defects as are either constitu-
tional or controlled by cultural meth-
ods such as diseases, lack of fullness
or adversity of propagation. No mor-
tal optics are so keen as to detect such
blemishes from the six blooms submit-
ted. Every one interested in chrysan-
themums should sing praise to these
men who so unselfishly and possibly
unconsciously have done so much to
benefit us all.

I doubt if many of us fully appre-
ciate how general and far reaching
are the advantages we now enjoy and
that this boon is largely due to the
benevolent spirit of these committee-
men. Since their inauguration there
has been a wonderful curtailment in
the number of novelties offered. In 1893
there were disseminated ISO of Ameri-
can origin and 130 foreign or 310 new
varieties were brought out in a single
year. Under such conditions it was
very difficult to select the most suit-
able and in those days when there
was no safe guard against imposition
it was not unusual for introducers to
include varieties of little merit. Since
the appointment of these committees
in 1894 these numbers have grown
less year by year until the offerings
for the present are 20 American and
55 Foreign, of which 15 were certifi-
cated by this society. And so I say all
do not appreciate what has been be-
stowed upon us, the introducers are

seeking higher standards in preference
to large numbers and the purchasers,
whether commercial growers, private
gardeners or amateurs have greater
confidence in those kinds which are
sufficiently meritorious to pass their
i ritical examination.

Although our membership is slight-
ly on the increase rather than waning.
the society lias not received full value-
in return for this service given all
lovers of the Queen of Autumn. We
have received the hearty support of
only a small portion of those interest-
ed in this important branch of flori-
culture. We have been unable to im-
press upon the many the Importance
and our earnest desire of their hearty
cooperation.

As previously stated the time was
when the reports of exhibitions was
our chief guidance in making selec-
tions, but now the nuts are all cracked
and the meats are placed before you.
This one feature alone should be of
sufficient importance to secure the
membership of every grower interested
in the best and latest kinds. All the
society demands is $2 annual member-
ship fee and I venture most of us spend
this small amount in some frivolous
way without benefit to ourselves or to
any worthy cause. It seems strange
with the vast number infinitely inter-
ested that so small a portion can not
or do not see they owe a moral obli-
gation in supporting so worthy a cause.
We want your counsel and advice,
we want you to assist in formulating
new plans whereby greater benefit will
exist. You can assist us, I mean all
of you. If you grow but a few hun-
dred plants it is worth more than the
paltry sum we ask to receive our an-
nual report and feel you are asso-
sociated with those whose endeav-
ors are the betterment of all. A bright-
er future with greater achievements
will be wrought by putting into force
the proverb, "Heaven helps those who
help themselves.''

Just a few words on what has been
accomplished during the past decade
toward improvement of varieties in
this country. In 1902 our earliest
white Mme. Bergman was seen on the
market early in October, now we can
have larger and better flowers in July
if desired. The same may be said re-
garding the yellows. Pinks have not
advanced in the same ratio, although
Unaka may be had in fine form the
first week of October. We have also
been given such good varieties as Dol-
ly Dimple, Golden Eagle, Lynnwood
Hall, Chrysolora and others which
show marked advances in their partic-
ular color and type.

During the past few years equal
gains are manifest in the exhibition
section. Such newcomers as F. E. Nash,
Lenox, Glen Cove and Morristown
compare favorably in size and finish
with the importations. The limit has
not been reached and if we progress
we must have better qualities, for
when we consider the qualities requi-
site for the best commercial and exhi-
bition sorts it does not take long to
discern wherein most of them are de-
ficient. In the commercials we might
have better midseason whites, a good
pink as early as Golden Glow: a type
with foliage up to the bloom, which
some of the later productions are
showing a marked tendency and many
of the exhibition varieties would be
greatly enhanced if foliage could be
supplanted for the long bare neck.

while others would add to the appear-
ance of our exhibitions if their stems
e stiffer.

While this society allows artificial
supports 1 predict the time is not far
distant when this measure will be re-
pealed. To my mind those which can
not sustain their blooms are of slight
consequence regardless of other quali-
fications and artificial supports in all
B calling for vases of twelve
blooms or more should be eliminated.
Why should we encourage retrograda-
tion rather than insist that our stand-
ard of excellence shall ever continue
upward? There an- qualities other
than size that appeal to the refined and
we should not forget that color and
form are the fundamental principles
underlying beauty as nature presents
it nor should we degrade these two char-
acteristics in our efforts to increase size.

The trade papers have been generous
in devoting their space to our notices
without compensation to whom we
should extend our sincere thanks. Let
us hope for greater achievements and
focus our force and energy to that end,
so that when the hour glass of time
marks the closing of the next decade
we will then realize how weak we are
at present. As a society we have obli-
gations to perform. Let us all join
hands in an efforts to increase our
usefulness for the betterment of all.
In union there is strength and earnest
endeavor leads to success.

THE BOSTON LANDSCAPE
CLASSES.

The landscape gardening classes of
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of
Boston had their first session of the
present season at Horticultural Hall,
on Tuesday evening, November 7. The
teacher is Raymond W. Aldrich, who
has an efficient assistant, so that stu-
dents will be well cared for. The
charges are the same as in previous
years, viz.: 50 cents per lesson. The
classes will run for approximately five
months.

Meetings will be held on Tuesday
evening of each week, except the week
of club meetings, when they will be
held on Monday evenings. In addition
to drawing plans, etc., it is hoped to
arrange for several practical talks dur-
ing the season, and also at least one
field day for practical work, probably
in the Boston Park System.

Instruments needed, also scales, pen-
cils, rubbers and thumb tacks will cost
about $2.50. The cost of paper and
other supplies for the full season may
reach $2.00 additional. These are the
total costs apart from tuition fees.

The desire is to benefit young men
at a low cost, and make them better
fitted for filling places of responsibil-
ity. The lack of outdoor gardening
continues to be the greatest deterrent
to success with many and all who at-
tend these classes will find it a most
excellent investment, enhancing great-
ly as it will their chances for further
advancement.

We read with interest in the news
columns of one of our contemporaries,
issue of Nov. 2, 1911, that George Par-
k< i . florist. Dorchester, Mass., and Miss
Ida Spargo had been married on Wed-
nesday evening, Oct. 25. As the inter-
esting event thus recorded, took place
some thirty years ago, the news-gath-
ering facilities of our esteemed contem-
porary would seem to be just a little
antiquated.

Peter T. Devoy, of Poughkeepsie, is
reported as very low with pneumonia.

H. A. Ketlel and family of Rumson,
N. J., have gone on a trip to old
friends and scenes in Europe.

R. Vincent, Jr., Whiternarsh, Md.,
is on a visit to several western cities
where he is scheduled to lecture on his
recent European trip.

We regret to have to announce that
latest news from Wm. R. Smith of
Washington is that he is still very
low and there is much uneasiness as
to the prospects for his ultimate recov-
ery.

The engagement of Henry Sargent
Dawson, youngest son of Jackson Daw-
son and Miss Pauline Fenner Mason
of Dorchester, Mass.. has been an-
nounced. The marriage will take place
next June.

Prof. A. J. Cook, dean of the depart-

ram Johnson.

All will be glad to learn that the late
C. N. Bliss substantially expressed
his appreciation of the services ren-
dered by his energetic and able super-
intendent, N. Butterbach of Oceanic,
X. J., whose daughter will be married
to James McCann on Dec. 2nd. This
will be a great green letter day at

Our cover illustration shows a fine
Black Hamburgh in fruit, not, as
might be imagined, the product of
some private conservatory but grown

in its higher possibilities and can see
something in his vocation above and
beyond the mere sticking of wired
blossoms in a wire frame. He writes
us that he uses these finely fruited
vines for basket and punch bowl work,
arranging them so that the bunches of
grapes hang down from the handle.

NEWS NOTES.

Halifax, Mass.— The Halifax Gar-
den Company have announced their
1911 fall chrysanthemum show and
visit to the greenhouses, to be held

floral displays throughout the season,
from 10 A. M. to 5 P. M., daily.

CINCINNATI NOTES.

The flower show will be held Nov.
13-18 inclusive. Superintendent Wm.
Murphy of the exhibition has laid out
the Horticultural Hall as a flower gar-
den. The silver cups worth easily
double their advertised value have
been placed on exhibition in a promi-
nent show window on Walnut street,
between 4th and 5th avenues. The en-
tries up to the time of writing are
large and indications point to an aug-
mentation before the end of the week.
The mayor will make an opening ad-
dress on Monday, the opening day of
the affair. Visitors should not forget
the smoker on Thursday at the Bis-

CHICAGO NOTES.
Chrysanthemum Shows at the Parks.
Nov. 1st Garfield Park Chrysanthe-
mum Show was announced as ready
for the puhlic and promptly the public
showed its appreciation by keeping
up a steadv stream of admirers pour-
ing through the doors. Sunday, by
actual count, over 10,000 people
passed into the conservatories A
special feature of this year's exhibit
is the large center bed, irregular in
shape and containing one thousand
single-stem plants. Two hundred var-
ieties of these huge beauties are a
sight never to be forgotten.

Lincoln Park conservatories were
ready with their annual display Sun-
dav ' A.s is alwavs the case, this park
being centrallv located has the most
visitors and the exhibit will confine
six weeks.

Business Changes.
Friedman's new store, known as
the Western Floral Co.. on Congress
street, opens this week.

Edw Lester, who opened a small
retail store in the down-town district
about a month ago. has decided to
give his attention to something else
or seek a less expensive district.

Chas Erne tried the wholesale end
of the business for a couple of days
last week, using a part of the space
of the Chicago Carnation Co., which
proved too small for his purpose.

McXallv has sold his retail store to
Max Cohen, who has had several
years' experience with the Amlmg
Co Poehlmann Bros. Co. and others,
and is ably fitted to take up the flor-
ists' business for himself.

Mrs Flora M. Wintermeyer, 750
Throop street, has transferred the
paper box manufacturing business of
her late husband. J. C. Wintermeyer,
to the D. M. Goodwillie Co. Jas.
Vlcek, salesman, will go with the new
owners.

The Chicago Rose Co. of Liberty-
ville 111 has sold out to two former
employes' of Bassett and Washburn
for $13,000. J. G. Schumann, an ex-
pert rose grower, and Joseph Kohout,
a successful carnation grower, com-
prise the new firm.

Charlie Zapfe, for twelve years in
J A Budlong's wholesale store, leaves
Saturday night to open a retail store
at 61st' street and S. Park avenue.
The store was leased on the 1st and
is now being equipped with every-
thing up-to-date throughout.

Clifford Pruner has forsaken indoor
life and returned to the road, where
he has spent many years of his life.
He is with the same firm, the E. H.
Hunt Co., and started for the south-
west Monday with a full line of sam-
ples. Raleigh H. Starbuek, of the
same firm, comes in from the road to
take his place.

The son and daughters of the late
Joseph Klimmer have incorporated
under the name of Klimmer's Green-
houses and will carry on the business
which their father so successfully
founded many years ago at Forest
Park and was actively engaged in till
within a few months of his death last
year. Capital stock $5000.

One of the most important recent
transfers among the down-town flor-
ists was arranged for this week and

T Mangel becomes the owner of the
Palmer House Flower Store, so long
owned by Harry Rowe. The transfer
takes place March 1, 1912. As stated
in this column last week, the building
in which J. Mangel has had his store
for many vears is to be torn down
and a new location was necessary,
hence the purchase of the Harry
Rowe store, which is one of the finest
in the city and just a few doors west.

Trade News.

Harry Rowe will open a new store
after he gives up his present one, the
exact location of which is not yet de-
termined.

Phil Schupp, manager for J. A. Bud-
long is pleased with the result of
eliminating Bridesmaids from the
stock grown this year. My Maryland
and Killarney are so satisfactory that
he thinks they will be used exclusive-
ly for pink in the near future.

The Chicago Carnation Co. have
added a mimeograph and addresso-
graph to their office equipment and
are rapidly getting to the front m
their ability to handle successfully a
large output of carnations and chrys-
anthemums. Manager Pyfer left Mon-
day night for the St. Louis, Mo.. Flow-
er Show.

Personal.

Thos. Franks of Champaign, was
proudly introducing his bride to his
friends in the wholesale market last
week

Ed P. Hauswirth is receiving a
heartv welcome from his friends
among the florists after his absence
from the city for the past two years.
He is now city salesman at Vaughan s
Seed Store.

Mrs. Edson Haas, 5455 W. Lake St.,
is verv ill following an operation for
appendicitis with other complications.
Mrs. Geo. Hartung of Mt. Pullman,
is recovering from a recent operation
at Pullman hospital.

Word has just been received here
that the son of R. S. Petts of Craw-
fordsville, Ind., was burned to death
Sunday, Nov. 5. No particulars have
been received, but the family have
the sympathy of the trade.

Des Moines, Iowa.— The Iowa Seed
Company celebrated the completion of
their extensive new range of green-
houses by giving a flower show on
Nov. 1 and 2, to which the public were
invited and free souvenirs given to the
lady visitors. There are 32 houses in
the entire range and they contain in
addition to the usual stock in such
establishments many rare plants not
often found in commercial green-
houses. Although somewhat inconven-
iently located— being about six blocks
from the street car line— they were
crowded during the reception day?.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

J. Harper Hetherington, formerly
with F. H. Kramer, is now with the
Washington Florists' Co.

Robert Schoek called on many of the
local florists last week in the interests
of M. Rice & Co., of Philadelphia. Mr.
Schoek reports business to be quite
good with him on this trip. Among
other traveling men in town were Mr.
Knight, of Knight & Struck, and Mr.
Goudy, with H. A. Dreer, Philadelphia.

F. H. Kramer gave a surprise party
for Miss Olive, daughter of Sergeant
Charles A. Stevens of Anacostia on the
occasion of her fourteenth birthday.
Among the florists of Anacostia, who
were present were Mr. and Mrs. F. H.
Kramer and Mr. and Mrs. Adolphus
Gude. A very pleasant evening was
spent.

A good many merchants in different
lines are employing cut flowers in the
decoration of their display windows
and stores and there are quite a num-
ber of opportunities to make contracts
for the supply of flowers in season.
Jewelers, opticians and shoe mer-
chants, showing shoes for evening
wear, utilize flowers to a greater or
lesser extent.

Gude Bros., 1214 F Street, N. W-, last
week held a grand flower show on their
own. account. Ninety or a hundred va-
rieties of chrysanthemums were dis-
played, some of them with up to six-
foot stems. For a depth of ISO ft. and
a width of 40 ft., the entire street floor
was a mass of color set off by ferns
and palms. Myriads of small power
electric lights in all colors softened the
intense light of the higher power
Tungstens. The walls were covered
with southern smilax. In the green-
house at the rear was a rustic bower
fifteen feet in height covered with
smilax, American Beauty and Ra-
diance roses while around this were
jars of chrysanthemums and Beauties.
A remarkable part of this display was
the fact that the Radiance roses placed
on Sunday remained intact the follow-
ing Saturday. The store was packed
from opening until closing, people
coming from long distances, and in all
sorts of equipages, to view this hand-
some scene.

ST. LOUIS NOTES.

The A. Brix Floral Co., who run a
retail store at 1518 St. Louis Ave., have
leased their green house plant at Mc-
Laren and Mead Ave. to Albert Hirl-
mann.

J. J. Beneke, Jr., son of J. J.
Beneke, was married last week to
Miss Viola Walsh. Mr. Beneke was
formerly with his father and is now
with the Wesco Electrical Co. as as-
sistant purchasing agent.

The Retail Florists' Association's
bill No. 13 before the House of Dele-
gates, to prohibit crepe pulling, was
defeated last week at the meeting of
the House. The members say the bill
was not properly made up as pre-
sented. They will try again.

The Bentzen Floral Co. have sold
their stock and leased the greenhouses
at 4025 Marcus avenue to Joe Hamerle
who was until recently foreman of the
Grimm & Gorley greenhouse plants.
The Bentzens will devote all their
time to their retail store at :U18 N.
Grand Ave.

BOSTON NOTES.

A shipment of about 30,000 fine
azaleas has been received by the Win.
W. Edgar Co. of Waverly.

Some new and valuable orchids
from England have been recently
added to the collection of J. T. But-
terworth of South Framingham.

Between landscape work and his
new flower store at 199 Tremont
street, Harry Quint is kept very busy.
Mr. Quint is a graduate of one of the
foremost agricultural schools and is
a landscape artist of no mean ability.
He comes from a family of florists.

At the meeting of the stockholders
of the Boston Co-operative Flower
.Market, 2 Park street, on Nov. 4,
John McFarland was elected presi-
dent, Donald Carmichael treasurer
and William W. Tailby clerk. These
with the following comprise the board
of directors: Edward Wood, Robert
Montgomery, Norris F. Comley, Wil-
liam H. Elliott, James Wheeler and
Elijah Cartwright. A 10 per cent, divi-
dend was declared and a good surplus
left in the treasury.

About three centuries ago there
lived in North Europe a man
by name of Ochus Bochus.
i le was a born conjurer and it
became customary in those days
for a conjurer to say "Ochus
Bochus" when he performed a
trick, instead of firing off a pis-
tol like sleight-of-hand profes-
sors do nowadays. Later day
spelling changed the phrase to
" Hocus-pocus," which means
tricky. Now in the bulb busi-
ness there are salesmen who
would fare better if they would
only come right out and say
" Hocus-pocus " when they
make a sale and be done with it;
for Hocus-pocus sales bounce
back like a rubber ball, and it's
the back-draft that hurts busi-
ness. If every salesman had to
face the back-draft he would be
more careful in his sales. Look
out for the Hocus-pocus sales-
men ; those promisers who
change their name to John Doe
after the sale is made. Buy
good bulbs, pay enough for
them, and then insist upon get-
ting what you pay for. In lily
bulbs there is no better brand
than Horseshoe Brand, and if
you buy them there is no need
of empty promises and persua-
sive methods because they must
make good to uphold their good
name. No Hocus-pocus about
them, that's a sure thing, and
no secrets in their make-up.
Prices are as reasonable as we
can afford. Write us.

Noxious Seed Laws or the Restraint
of Seed Trade.

We note from time to time in your
valuable paper the announcement of
some new seed law being placed on
the statute books in the various States.
Taking them as they are, we find they
are all more or less dpawn along the
same lines, with the exception that
some of them are more stringent than
others, as they prohibit the sale of
seeds containing certain weed seeds
which in that particular State are con-
sidered noxious.

For instance, in North Dakota
quack grass and Canada thistle are
termed noxious seeds; in West Vir-
ginia dodder is termed a noxious 'seed;
in North Carolina cheat (or chess) is
also termed a noxious seed, and there
are no doubt other States where sim-
ilar laws are enacted.

The intent of any such legislation —
if it were possible, is all right, but who
can control Dame Nature that pro-
duces both pure and noxious seeds.
We do not think there is today a pure
seed law on the statute books that
would be upheld before any Supreme
Court, and further don't think it pos-
sible to have seed legislation, unless
it be along the lines of adulteration or
misbranding of seeds.

Flower Market Reports

The present week with its
BOSTON sunny skies and chrysan-
themum invasion shows
no improvement over the preceding
week, and there is no immediate pros-
pect for any change for the better.
Dealers are pessimistic and see a
troublesome fortnight ahead. Chrys-
anthemums are at their height of qual-
ity and quantity. That good old stand-
by Major Bonnaffon maintains the lead
in populatarity and general usefulness.
Carnations are up to prize winning
quality but that does not help them
greatly on price obtainable. Roses are
also very good. Gardenias more plen-
tiful and improving in quality.

Trade is good and the
CHICAGO market is in a very sat-
isfactory condition.
Stock is just plentiful enough to keep
prices right and quality is excellent.
Chrysanthemums are queens of the
day and every possible variation of
this favorite is now to be had, the
pompons receiving their full share of
attention. It is a question if the ab-
sence of the annual flower show has
not increased rather than lessened the
local sale of chrysanthemums this
fall. Those who grow the big fancy
blooms are having orders for them
from the exhibitors at the neighbor-
ing shows and they bring fancy prices
accordingly. Violets, both single and
double, are selling at moderate prices
and do not take an important place
in the market yet. Lily of the valley
is of several grades, the best selling
most readily. Roses cannot be said
to be scarce but there are few left
each day and large orders are usually
followed by a search for stock. My
Maryland is a favorite at this time,
quality and color both being very
good. Cattleyas are in good demand.
Cosmos grown under glass are a new
addition this year, some blooms at J.
A. Budlong's being four or more inch-
es in diameter and they are taking
well, being excellent keepers.

Rusiness runs along
CINCINNATI merrily. The sup-
ply is large and the
demand very good. The call from the
shipping trade is large. The over sup-
ply of small chrysanthemums is at an
end, while the glut of white roses,
owing to very large offerings, con-
tinues in spite of good sales. Other
colors clean up quickiy each day.
More carnations could easily be used.
The darker shades are coming in
stronger and are selling as well as the
lighter ones. All good chrysanthe-
mums move quickly with the medium
sizes as the most favored by the buy-
ers. Easter lilies are again good prop-
erty for the wholesalers. The sup-
ply of violets, both double and single
is far short of the request for same.
Lily of the valley and orchids are en-
joying a good market. All lines of
greens are in demand and there is a
good supply of the same.

The conditions preva-
NEW YORK lent in the wholesale

market generally are
still as they have been reported for
the past two weeks with the situation
even more aggravated on some lines.
Accumulations of many staples are on
all sides and no reasonable out'et is

open to the holders. It is at such
times as this that New York growers
and dealers feel keenly the need of
the extensive shipping outlets they
once enjoyed, and it should be a very
proper subject for them to take under
serious consideration to ascertain, if
possible, the reasons for the elimina
tion of New York's out-of-town de-
mand while other large markets have

been able to hold theirs thus far, and
icther it may be possible to regain
any part of what has been lost. It is
evident to everyone that for a very
considerable portion of the year — the
period increasing, too, with each year
— the production of flowers for this
market is too large for the local needs
and the train of evils that follow in

consequence of such a situation is a
long one and widespread, and not only
disastrous but degrading to the entire
floral industry. When the subject does
finally force itself for attention and
action it will call for the exercise of
the best ability and brains which
every department can jointly supply,
and, it will have to be worked out on
much broader lines than mere details
of marketing and salesmen's commis-
sions.

Trading here the
PHILADELPHIA past week was

not particularly
brisk. It might be called a fair week,
but lacking in tone. That "life and
snap" which traders so love to see
was conspicuous by its absence.
Chrysanthemums arc now the leaders,
of course, and there are some grand
flowers coming in. That glorious va-
riety, Bonnaffon. is easily the peer of
them all, and is a prime favorite with
growers, wholesalers, retailers and the
public. Other good ones just now are
Maud Dean, Dr. Enguehard and Apple-
ton. Roses are plentiful and quality
fully up to standard for the season.
The best seller at present is American
Beauty and it is showing splendid all-
around form. Killarneys are also ex-
cellent, especially the double pink.
Richmonds have improved greatly.
Mrs. Taft is coming in in quantity
and in conspicuously good form. The
orchid market is now in much better
shape and the demand is good for the
three principal sorts on offer: cat-
tleya, dendrobium and oncidium. There
is more activity also in the carnation
market and while prices have not ad-
vanced they hold firmer to quoted
rates. Violets are almost worthy of
being called a bright spot in the mar-
ket. They move off very well and at
satisfactory figures. Outside stock is
over, even the ironclad cosmos hav-
ing at last succumbed in this vicinity.
The greens market is still rather slug-
gish, although adiantum is selling bet-
ter. New crop wild smilax is selling
well at the reduced price this season.
Washington w a s
WASHINGTON last week visited
by a killing frost
which about caused the end of out door
stock. Dahlias and cosmos are not so
plentiful for which indoor growers are
duly thankful and their stock is com-
ing along in much better shape. There
has been somewhat of a scarcity of
roses and carnations but what has
come into the market moved well. The

demand for greens has slackened up
perceptibly, probably due to the fact
that there is plenty to be had. Lily of
the valley is moving along well. Smi-
lax is going slow. Chrysanthemums
are bringing low figures; they are of
exceptionally good quality however.
Cateleyas are not as plentiful as here-
tofore— in fact, the supply hardly meets
the demand so far as good stock is
concerned. New York violets are good
and are selling to advantage. As to
roses, locally-grown American Beau-
ties. Enchanter, Richmond and other
high-grade varieties never were better
and are holding price well. The call
for flowers and greens in large quanti-
ties has diminished and business is
quiet as compared with past weeks.

Business has become
ST. LOUIS more steady during the

last week. Buying has
been quite heavy all week — there has
been plenty of good stock to supply it.
Wholesale consignments have not
been very heavy. Chrysanthemums
have the call and are selling well. Of
roses the market has plenty but carna-
tions are not in plenty. Prices on gen-
eral stock remain as at last report.

AMERICAN APPLES ABROAD.
American apples, once tasted in a
Dutch family, are used continually
thereafter, but Vice Consul D. P. De
Young, of Amsterdam, adds that owing
to indirect shipments prices are higher
and the condition of fruit poorer.
Baldwin and similar red apples are in
greatest demand. Local dealers de-
sire smaller barrels or boxes. The
addresses of the two large importers
of apples in Amsterdam may be ob-
tained from the Bureau of Manufac-
tures, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.

Consul Albert W. Swalm, Southamp-
ton, England, suggests that exporters
of American apples should bear in
mind that the English crop this season
is one of the best and also one of the
largest for many years, pears and
plums being also abundant. The apple
supply for autumn and early winter
is far in excess of any for several
years, which will keep down the price
of all those imported until stocks have
been consumed. Early consignments
of American fruit for auction in Eng-
land might, therefore, prove bad ven-
tures for the shipper.

Finer English apples have not been
seen in market for many years, and
the reports from the orchard districts
are most flattering. The further fact
that many new orchards are coming
into bearing this year should also be
considered. In dessert apples a'one
^here may be a fair market for good
American varieties of established
name.

An Australasian order for 58 car-
loads, comprising 28,200 boxes of
apples, is being filled in the State of
Washington. The initial shipment
consists of eight carloads of Yakima
Jonathans.

Just the remedy for the black aphis on
chrysanthemums — red spider aud thrips on
carnations — greeu fly ou roses — mealy bug
mi gardenias and crotons — scale on ferns,
palms and other decorative stock.

$2.50 per gallon, $1.00 per quart.

U. S. AND CANADA.

Fungine has no equal for carnation rust,
rust on chrysanthemums and mildew on
roses.

$2.00 per gallon, 75c. per quart.
U. S. AND CANADA.

There is but one convincing way for you to
become familiar with the merits of Aphine
and Fungine, and that is — test tbem out
yourself — it will prove worth your while.

At Belle Haven Conn., We Built This Curved Eave House for
F. C. Ra voile. That is the Gardener, L. Repaci Standing By The Door

IT'S one of our curved eave "fit in houses." We call it
"fit in" because it fits in, in a most attractive way be-
tween tbe gardener's bungalow cottage and the other
nearby buildings.

Us placing and treatment were carefully considered
in relation to the surroundings. And that's why so many
of our houses are especially attractive. They are some-
thing more than mere greenhouses— they are an orna-
mental, interesting part of the grounds.

LILIUM HARRISII

-The Bermuda Easter l—ily:

I p--r \js supply your wants in Lilies this season
We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer Is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the' previous crop Is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is dlspo ->f, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our s are as low as, or lower than,

the prices of those who oJer the ordinary stock gathered from indisci „. tf sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
lv deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 6-7 Inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.0T> per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lota, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lota, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties,— good, bushy, well-grown plant*
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepls Bostoniensls and Piersoni, 6-in. pots $0.60 each

Nephrolepls Elegantlsslma, Piersoni, Bostoniensls, and Harrisii, heavy 8-in. plants $1.00 to 1.60 each

Live, up-to-date and progressive, we might say aggressive, florists are planting more and more
every year, the above useful and profit-bearing Tulips — because once planted they bloom from year

feet) and variety of colors, they sell as quickly again as the early varieties and come at a season when
they are always welcome.

part of the summer, such as C. bicolor, C. granulosa, C.
gigas, ('. Gaskeliana, C. Harrisoniae, C. Eldorado, C.
Loddegesii, ('. Luddemanniana, C. Leopodii and C.
Schofieldiana, and have had a good rest Bhould be

impost li is better to wait until the new growths
begin to show with new roots jus! pushing before re-
potting. This is the best time to overhaul these orchids,
for al this stage they become quickly re-established in
post As to 1 esl potting material to

use there is a diversity of opinion. While some still
like to use Bofi fibrous peat and live sphagnum moss in-
red, others prefer clear osmunda fibre ; they can
be grown good with either. Give the pots or baskets half
their depth of crocks with some charcoal to insure good
drainage. When potting bring the new compost well
up to the base of the pseudo-bulb and see that they are
potted moderately firm. If any portion of the plant
should be unsteady and sway, tie the pseudo-bulb to a
neat stake, for a plant lying loose will never do well.
Give them a shady part of the house for a little while
and keep the floors and benches well damped down so
as to have sufficient moisture in the atmosphere. When
they begin to take a hold of the new compost little or
no shading will be needed until the sun becomes more
powerful. Be exceedingly careful in watering now as
very little will be required at the roots until later on,
but syringe over the plants once or twice a day in fine
weather and give them a temperature of from 55 to 58
degrees at night.

CINERARIAS

The early plants that are now in 6-inch pots with
the flower stems well advanced should be attended to
with manure water about once a week as they like a lib-
eral supply to meet the quick growth and free-rooting
which soon exhausts the soil in the pots. Give them
Bufficieni i iveen the plants to prevent them from

getting drawn. Syringe the plants overhead on all
fine days until flowers begin to open, and keep the paths
and material on which - are standing, damp, as

they dislike a dry atmosphere. Those that are in-
id for Christinas should he kept in a temperature as
near I •"> degrees as possible: anything higher will ruin
your crops. All those that show a disposition to be
later can be given a temperature of about 40 degrees
which will bring them into flower during January and
February. Seed that was sown from August 15 up to
the first week in September and grown in flats should
now be ready for 3-inch pots. Use a soil composed of
three parts of fibrous loam and two of leaf mold with
a good sprinkling of sand for the first potting. Keep
close for a few days until the roots take hold of the
new soil, when they should be given a place near the
glass in a house where the temperature runs near 40
degrees at night. Never I ■ approach anything

like a poi bound condition before giving them a shift,
until flowering size is reached. For the second potting
and others that are to follow leave out all leaf
but give them a rich compos! of two-thirds fibrous loam
to one-third of well-decayed cow manure with a dash of
guano and soot. Fumigate often for the aphis.

BOUGAIN'VILLEAS

We have now come to the season when these plants
should have their necessary rest in order to ripen up
their growth, which is essential for good results. From

now and daring Decen her water should be withheld un-
til the phi! of flagging and then only a
little should be given just enough to fre- m up
bul do tin- until only enough in
i- in their becoming absolutely dry
which would endanger them. Keep the atmosphere
cool an nlation whenever possible. S
treatment will greatly assist the wood in maturing to
roper con ring later on. They should
be kept in tin- itil the close of the year and in
a house that 1m mperature of 50 degrees un-
til they an sti rowth when they should

have CO to 05 degrees at night.

otng ibises

When forcing a batch of Spanidi irises let them be
grown cool, as they will not stand anything like forc-
ing hard. The general temperature demanded by these
plants are a night temperature of 40 to 45, with 10 to
15 degrees more during the day with sun heat. The
general practice is to grow them in flats 4 or 5 inches
deep, using a rich compost of two-thirds well-decayed
sod and about one-third of well-rotted manure. A flat
12 by 24 inches will hold 45 to 50 roots. There is an
advantage in planting them in flats as they can be
moved around at will and also be kept in a frame until
wanted for forcing. The soil should never be allowed
to become dry as they always want a copious supply of
water. Be careful not to give heavy fumigations where
they are as it will cause the ends of the leaves to turn
brown. As growth -tarts give them some weak liquid
manure once a week.

LILY OF THE VALLEY

Newly imported pips that are arriving now should be
secured and repacked in an upright position into boxes,
placing some sand or soil under, over and between the
bunches; this will make handling better, when bringing
them in. The most convenient place for these boxes is
a cold frame where they can remain until wanted for
forcing. After placing them in the frame give them a
good watering. When the weather gets colder place
some sash over them and also cover the tops with 3 or
1 inches of hay or straw. This will lessen time and
labor when they are brought in. These pips cannot,
with any succes reed before the beginning of the

New Year. For the December crop of flowers cold
storage pips should be relied upon. Pips that are in-
tended for cold storage should be boxed up not later
than February as they must be in an absolutely dor-
mant condition when they are removed to the cold stor-
'ant.

POTTING: SOIL FOR THE WINTER

Now is the time to prepare some potting soil for
winter use. Soil that up in duly with a layer

of manure and a layer of sod and chopped down with

so as to thoroughly mix the
!■ shape will do for most of
of this
soj] i iver where it can bi

in a dry co efi oul in I

d with water and then keeps in a frozen condition
for weeks, requiring some little time to dry when
brought in in thai condition. So seize the opportunity
lay in a supply for potting.

Wholesale flower market reports

Vicissitudes of the this week reflect the sudden and

flower market very severe weather which during

the pas! Eew days has overspread
practically the entire country. While these blizzards
are anything hut comfortable to face, and while they
make a gaping hole in the coal pile, yet there is prob-
ably no flower grower or wholesale dealer who does not
welcome their coming, for they do much to place the
market on a substantia] basis and to establish prices
approaching winter values, which once started are pretty
sure to have some permanency. Two distinct facts seem
to be brought out by this year's experience. One is that
the single and pompon chrysanthemums are coming in
to .i much greater popular appreciation for cut flower
uses. Men of good artistic perception have anticipated
this for a number of years, bui the change was slow in
coming and the craze for bigness has died very hard.
The other noticeable feature in the flower demand is the
widespread interest in the new roses, of which several
have already made, or are about to make, their debut —
and the newer and more novel the new comer the more
ii is wanted. It is not so very bum since it was charged
that the custom of the retailers was to discourage the
introduction of new varieties of roses and of the grow-
ers in exercise timidity. and caution in touching them.
That the sentiment has changed must be a great satis-
faction to the introducers and the outlook for their
hither! nod efforts is a great encouragement

for them. Henceforth the carnation and the chrysan-
themum will have to -bare a good slice of the novelty
markel with the Queen of Flowers.

THE EXHIBITIONS

MASSACHUSETTS HORTICUL-
TURAL SOCIETY.

The Autumn Exhibition at Hortl
cultural Hall, Boston, presented quite
a different aspect to the visitor as
compared with the corresponding
shows a few years ago. No longer
can it fairly be called a Chrysanthe
mum Show for while these are still
largely represented yet they do not by
any means predominate. In the plant
classes there was practically no com-
petition. Only one exhibitor appeared
In the specimen bush plants which in
the past were regarded as a distin-
guishing and unrivalled feature of the
Boston exhibition. It cost that ex-
hibitor $150 to transport his six
plants to the hall! On chrysanthemum
cut blooms the short stem classes are
almost extinct, the long stem classes
barely hold their own and the singles
have become more numerous. But,
while all this is true and while the
halls looked rather "thin" in spots be-
cause of the absence of the accus-
tomed long ranks of enormous blooms,
yet the show was a notable one in
some respects and presented more
than the usual proportion of novel-

ling begonia (B. incarnata X a tuber-
ous rooted variety), flowers gorgeous
crimson, 2 to 8 In. across,' foliage mas-
sive, incarnata habit of plant. To
Duncan Flnlayson for Cattleya bicolor

ster for Celosia Thompsoni pyramid-
alis. To H. H. Barrows & Son for
Nephrolepis Whitmani var. compacta.
To A. A. Pembroke for light pink car-
nation Beverly.

The sole exhibitor of specimen bush
chrysanthemums was Thos. E. Proc-
tor, gard. Jas. Marlborough. They
were very fine, among them being
Mayor Weaver — which won the silver
as best plant in the show — and Emmy

and W. \V. Edgar Co. a fine group of
cyclamen and Lorraines.

in t he cut flower section E. A. Clark,
gard. Alex McKay, swept all the prizes
but one on the vases of ten long-
: temmed chrysanthemums. His best
were Rose Pockett, Leslie Morrison,
Col. Appleton, Mrs. Win. Duckham.
James Nicol scooped one 1st here.
Mr. McKay also won out on the mam-
moth vase of seventy-five long-stemmed
flowers with a superb exhibit, W. W.
Edgar Co. winning 2nd and 3rd.
Twelve Jap. Incurved and twelve re-
flexed, H. E. Converse. Pompons, E.

The table decorations were by Ed.
MacMulkin, Sidney Hoffman and Mrs.
E. M. Gill, who won in order named.
MacMulkin's flowers were Garza and
yellow pompons, with adiantums.
Hoffman had bronze and yellow pom-
pons and "baby" pompons. Mrs. Gill
used Garza and yellow pompons.

James Wheeler showed some hand-
some antirrhinums, R. Engelman, car-
nation Heart of the Berkshires, Mrs.
Gill, display of chrysanthemums,

ties and novel features. To best illus-
trate this 'fact we shall begin this ac-
count where we generally end — that
is, with the awards of special medals
and certificates.

Silver medal to E. S. Webster, gard.
Wm. Downs, for Begonias Elatior and
Winter Cheer. They were grand.

Cultural silver medal to James Nicol
for vase of chrysanthemum Mrs. Jer-
ome Jones. This was simply superb.

Bronze medal to Wm. Sim for dis-
play of pansies. Here were over 500
enormous blooms of the highest strain
and covering an endless range of
colors and markings, each flower in an
individual bottle hidden under the
flat white surface on which they were
displayed. They created a sensation.

Certificates of merit. To George

ering plants, splendidly arranged. This
took 1st and a similar group from
W. W. Edgar Co. took 2nd. On Ken-
tias Wm. Whitman 1st, and on Arecas
Mrs. Frederick Aver 1st. The orchid
groups were a great attraction, the
exhibitors being Wheeler & Co. who
won 1st, with a beautifully arranged
display, Paul de Nave, 2nd, and J. T.
Butterworth 3rd. In addition to the
foregoing, Thomas Roland made a
fine display of choice foliage and flow-
ering plants, Mrs. Francis Peabody a
group of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine,
W. T. Walke an artistic pyramidal
group of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine,
Mrs. F. Ayer, variegated pine apple

Strout & Co. and A. A. Pembroke, car-
nations in variety.

The fruit display was very exten-
sive and was finely set off by a gen-
erous display of fruiting shrubs con-
tributed by Superintendent Pettigrew
of the Boston Park Department.

WORCESTER COUNTY HORTICUL-
TURAL SOCIETY.
The annual chrysanthemum show of
this Society, held at Worcester, Mass.,
on November 9-10 is recorded as the
best as to quality and artistic arrange-
ment ever seen in Worcester and the
attendance surpassed that of any pre-
vious occasion. The lay-out was
planned by and carried out under the
direction of the president E. W. Breed.
Among the principal exhibitors and
prize winners were H. F. A. Lange,
Geo. W. Knowlton, Mrs. John C.
Whitin. E. W. Breed, Worcester Con-
servatories, John Gunn, Chas. D.
Mackin and Charles Potter. There
was a good display of apples in the

for ih<' year called its exhibitions a
farce and a disgrace; and. it must be
aaid for the committee, that In spite
of every discouragement possible, they
succeeded tar beyond what anyone
could ha\ >' hope il for. The : how last
week is away ahead of anything we
have had in recent years in quantity,
quality and arrangement, and indicates
clearly that if the path mapped out by
the present committee is faithfully
followed greater things may be con-
fidently looked for. We think the
committee well deserves the full meas-
ure of public appreciation implied in
the words "well done, good and faith-
ful servants."

In the brief space at our disposal
we can only touch on a few of the
chief features, and If any good tiling
has gone unmentioned our readers are
assured that any such omission is un-
intentional and purely an oversight.

Baj trees and conifers were freely
used in front of the hall and at the
various doorways. A liberal con-
tributor to this was the W. II. Moon
Co. Edward A. Stroud had four fine
groups of hardy single chrysanthe-
mums massed between and at sides of
these entrance doorways, a most val-
uable attraction. These were all his
own seedling varieties and were worth-
ily honored with a silver medal.
Among the most striking in this col-
lection we may mention Mary Colla-
day, a pink of the Garza type. Mikado,
a bright yellow, and Janet Hay, a
lovely white. The beautiful central

stairway was ftnelj adorned with
men plants ol prize « Inners, and

leathery foliage. We do not know the
parentage, but they say that Dr. Hue]
i\ that it is a cross between Mrs.
Jardlne and American Beauty. The
Fennock-Meehan Co. exhibited their

Killarney and Killarney Queen — of the
Budlong strain; that is of the Double
White Killarney. as this has sported
in more than one place, but the Bud-
long strain is vastly superior. A fine
new crimson-scarlet carnation. Miss
Dimple Widener, from the expert
hands of that good all-round garden-
er, Wm. Kleinheinz, looked like a
winner and worth investigating by our
commercial experts.

Passing to the left before ascending
the stairway we come to two miniature
gardens — one by an amateur (Herman
van Gloeden), the other by a com-
merclal florist (Adolpb Mueller). The
van Gloeden design was most artistic
and suggestive, and contained many
features of a highly educational
nature, and well deserved the special
premium awarded. C. F. Krueger
made a good display of filled window
boxes in various styles, suitable for
mild fall and summer temperatures,
the plants used being mostly chrys-
anthemums, crotons, pandanus, ferns,
etc.

Well grown plants of Mrs. Frank
Thompson graced the tool of stairway
;,i eac li siih I>> the two Da-
vhls; David Ingram and David Aiken.
This Thompson variety Is outclassed
long ago. Let the generous donors of
prize offer It for a newer and bet-
ter variety and thus encourage im-
provement.

The judges had a hard job deciding
between the two magnificent exhibits
at middle landing of stairway— 25
blooms with foliage, vase arranged for
it was nip and tuck between
Kleinheinz and Robertson. Both were

alflcent Her,' also appeared the
be I twelve of that fine variety, Lynn-
wood Hall, gTown by T. Gaynor, who
has the distinction of being about the
only gardener in the show represent-
ing a title— his employer being the
Mess Santa Eulalia. Above, this
was massed a group of Cibotium
Schiedei which was awarded a certifi-

of merit. This came from Dreer's.
Further up the stairway we noticed
some fine flowers from Tom Holland,
Berwyn, and a first prize vase of bronze
from Joseph Pratt— no name to them—
a grave defect not only on this but all
ovei the show. We have danced and
raved and gesticulated and hurled in-
sults and invective at friend and foe
alike for many years on this point yet
the supposedly intelligent multitude
pass on unheeding just as if they were
all members of a deaf, dumb and blind
asylum. What's an exhibition for if it
doesn't tell people the names of things?
Some day we shall buy us a meat axe
and use that instead of our gentle pen.
John Kuhn had a couple of splendid
vases of Yellow Chadwick not for com-
petition. Axel Lindroth made some-
thing of a name for himself in various
classes notwithstanding his odd patro-
nymic and Frank Birnbrauer sent
some excellent pink antirrhinum. And
HOW, among the tang and haze of the
fall chrysanthemums we come on a
Sunburst. This one is the Sunburst
rose from C. H. Totty. A big flower,
lovelj color like pale shiny blended
and shimmery with lively tints of
white, blush and orange, the general
b. ing at just before the dawn.

son rose — after the style of Richmond

Bent in .-nine beautiful white lilac —
splendid for so early in the season.
Cut heliotrope ase came from

Louis J'.nrk. There were a number
of standard heliotrope plants in pots
that kept finely.

One of tbe most striking things in
chrysanthemums was Win. Turner. It
was a moot question whether this or
Mrs. David Syine was the best as a
fancy white. Robertson says that Tur-
ner will give a bigger percentage of
perfect blooms but that Syine is
earlier, so it seems to be a case of —
we want them both. Other good ones
in this connection were Tarrytown, a
blush pink, Fair Acre, a pale lemon
and Glen Cove, pink.

The Widener collection of orchids
was one of the best things in the show
outside of the unique Burk exhibit in
that section. Alphonse Perlcat also
put up a fine orchid display in which
were some rare hybrid cypripediums
but the hero of the occasion in orchids
was undoubtedly Louis Burk. Nothing
quite as good has ever been done here
before. There were 52 varieties in glass
ease specially built for the occasion,
•ccupying the entire east end of the
main hall, electric lighted, mixed with
?erns and foliage, numbered and la-
helled, and with a numbered catalogue
hanging outside so that he who ran
might read. The whole story was
there and everybody who came along
got it all plain, simple, correct. We
felt like turning somersaults with joy
to see all our cherished ideals about
naming and so forth so beautifully
carried out and on so fine an exhibit.
If plastered from top to bottom with
highest awards it would have but
poorly expressed our feelings. A mil-
lion welcomes and a hundred million
hosannas. Mr. Burk, on your maiden
appearance.

The" center of the main hall con-
tained the groups of foliage and flow-
ering plants — all well done and very
attractive, especially the middle
group of crotons by John Hobson, big
plants beautifully grown, and with
smaller specimens round the margin
by the Robert Craig Co. Penfield, Burk,
Pepper, Newbold, were all prominent
In this section.

The front of the stage was as usual
occupied by Dreer with a general col-
lection of new and choice foliage
plants among these being the new Far-
leyense, Glory of Mordrecht. This
group was awarded a certificate of
merit, with a special on the Glory and
a similar award was made for a splen-
did group of Phoenix Roebeleni. Spe-
cials were also awarded to Newbold
and Wanamaker for well grown plants
Of single chrysanthemums. The New-
bold lot had three very striking sorts,
namely Ethel Beir, red bronze, Mers-
tham, light bronze and Sylvia Slade, a
bright crimson with a narrow band of
white around the yellow center.

Julius Roehrs showed his apprecia-
tion of what horticulture in Philadel-
phia is worth, by sending a hatful ot
orchids. If a thing is worth doing at
all it is worth doing well. Julius —
take it from us — the fault does not lie
with Philadelphia entirely. Of course
you have had some sad experiences —
but this year was different. J. A. Mul-
ler represented the firm.

Tom Long came along with a good

Ion ol sp< cimen foliage plants.

Labels not very good, but better than

Dodd s for \\ anamatter in same classi s.

Wanamaker and Drexel musl be awful

bard up 11 an'l afford a few

cent tor proper card markers. In the
mi. idle of the foyer the Pepper group
ut Eoliag. and flowering plants were
an attraction and deservedly won a
prize. The arrangement was artistic
and above the average. Wanamaker
came in here on another section and
won first with a distinguished and
select collection. For big specimen
foliage plants Widener was away-
ahead. McFadden took the honors in
marantas. What is ananassa salvia
variegata? This appeared in a Penfield
exhibit, class 84. Far be it from us to
suggest that this may be only an-
other instance of sloppy spelling, and
thereby disseminating misinformation.
In cut carnations Widener and Wana-
maker divided the honors. Mrs. C. W.
Ward was the star in both lots.

John Welsh Young exhibited a vase
of Double Pink Killarney in a frame.
Was this in honor of the flower or of
the exhibitor? Both are good; but was
there any good reason for a frame for
either? If we chopped off monarchy
to make us all democratic, why assume
frames to give adventitious value?
John, why not let your flowers stand
alongside the other fellow's, naked
and unashamed, and let them be
judged on their merits?

In the lower hall the most striking
eye catcher was a model conservatory
erected by the Lord & Burnham Com-
pany, showing what they can do for
$500.00, including heating and every-
thing complete. This was further
made attractive by being filled with a
nice collection of foliage and flowering
plants. Outside the structure was bor-
dered with a flower bed scroll of hardy
chrysanthemums, the latter work
being executed in fine shape by the H.
F. Michell Co. In this lower hall the
usual displays were made by the lead-
ing seedsmen. These consisted of
bulbs and sundries, mostly. Waterer's,
Dreer's and Michell's were the most
attractive of these exhibits. The
Amon Heights Nurseries put up a dis-
play of hardy chrysanthemums. The
sign did not give the address of this
concern, which would have helped
them some if they had taken advan-
tage of their opportunity. Devon,
Meehan, Michell and Burpee each
showed elaborate collections of hardy
chrysanthemums. The latter exhibit
was especially fine containing many-
rare and beautiful varieties. It was
labeled the Burpee new and improved
stiain. and the card stated that the
flowers had been grown on plants pro-
duced from seed sown last Maich.
That fact, so plainly stated, was of
high educational value to the average
visitor, and it seemed to surprise
many to learn that this beautiful
hardy perennial could be flowered the
first season from March-sown seed.
The latest in lawn mowers, "The Gra-
ham." was exhibited by the Philadel-
phia Lawn Mower Co. Fruits and
vegetables were very fine.

Among the distinguished visitors
from a distance were John Donaldson,
Charles W. Scott, Henry Robertson,
John Miesem, F. W. Kelsey, Patrick
O'Mara, all of New York; George
Stewart, Tuxedo; Robert Hurlev, from
Duke's, Somerville, N. J.; J. F. Hisa,
of W. A. Simpson & Co., Baltimore,

Md.; Wm. Nicholson, Framingham,
Mass.; Win. Swayne, Kennett; R.
Montgomery, Natick, Mass. Last but
not least among the visitors was the
Hon. John Wanamaker, who under the
pilotage of John Dodds made a tour of
the show, and was as keenly interested
boy. It is seldom this busy man
.if affairs gets time to go to a flower
show, consequently we were justified
in looking on this as something of an
event.

THE CINCINNATI SHOW.
The first flower show of any size
that has been held in Cincinnati in
seventeen years was opened on Mon-
day of this week. From an artistic
point of view the show on Monday
and Tuesday was good but from a
financial standpoint the opening days
were far from being a howling suc-
cess. Some of the shipments of chrys-
anthemums were caught in the sudden
fall in the temperature. One, that of
C. H. Totty of Madison, N. J., was en-
tirely frozen. Judging from the appear-
ance of the stock every one of the
blooms would easily have been in the
money were it not for the misfortune.
On Tuesday evening Mr. Vincent gave
a lecture, illustrated with stereopticon,
on his European trip, particularly Hol-
land. The carnations staged on that
day were said to be some of the very
best ever exhibited thus early in the
season.

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

First prize on American Beauty

went to Duke's. Somerville. Mark

for Andrew Macdonald.

\\'e are pleased to report that our

old and esteemed friend, John A. Cook,

of Beverly, N. J., is about again, after

a long siege of sickness.

A silver medal was awarded tu Mme.
Charles Russell — the new rose from
Waban. Another feather in the cap of
Alexander Montgomery.

Lilluui gloriosum superbum grandi-
florum Is the magnificent bunch of ad-
jectives tacked on to an exhibit by
John G. Gardner. Please don't blame
John for the name. He didn't do it.
It's a rather curious looking thing —
for a lily— but that's all. Forget the
rest.

The world do move. Put three
things down as remarkable happenings
in 1911. Philadelphia was swift enough
to beat New York in the national
game; she put up the best fall flower
show seen in ten years; and she licked
the political gang who have made her
name a byword in the nation lor the
past thirty years! That is some going
for one year. Who said we were slow?
Among the many pleasing and pro-
gressive results of the recent election
is the emphatic endorsement of
"Washburn and Good Roads," by
Doylestown township. It is super-
visor Washburn now. We congratu-
late the doctor some, but the citizens
of the locality more. Among the lat-
ter are W. Atlee Burpee and Howard
M. Earl— both of whom tore them-
selves away from their engrossing ac-
tivities to put in a few licks for good
citizenship.

The free lectures of the Michell Co.
are "taking" with the public unusually
well this season. The latest, given on
the 13th inst., was by Maurice Fuld,
his subject being "Perennials and
hardy bulbs." The next lecture will be
on November 25th, Saturday, 3 P. M.,
by Hubert Craig, "Progress in Flori-
culture." December 4th, Professor
Corbett will talk on "Farming in gen-
eral." January Sth, Professor Wiel-
shoffer on "Poultry." March 12th Pro-
fessor Stewart. "Vegetable Garden.''
To meet the increasing popularity of
this feature the Michell Co. have de-
cided to remove the obstructing mez-
zanine and build a gallery instead —
and to make a complete lecture hall for
the comfort of the audience. Contracts
already been given out for these
ions.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

PITTSBURGH FLORISTS' AND GAR-
DENERS' SOCIETY.

Our expectations for a rousing meet-
ing on Nov. 7th were abundantly real-
ized, for ii was Chrysanthemum Night,
which always brings out a good at-
tendance The display of varieties was
large and the quality good, and as has
happened before at our meetings, the
graceful and artistic singles competed
strongly with the big doubles.

C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., showed
in doubles. Win. Turner, Lady Car-
michael and Annie L. Angus. Of these
Wm. Turner drew special attention
from the growers as a good commer-
cial variety. It is a big white with
the Appleton shape. Mr. Totty also
exhibited a collection of singles, of
which the most striking were Sylvia
Slade and Hilda Wells, both crimson
and E. Nottell, cream white. Merstham
Gem and Emma L. Davis were also
noticeable. The judging committee,
Neil McCallum and David Fraser,
awarded to Mr. Totty a cultural certifi-
cate for his display, considering Wm.
Turner the best of the new doubles,
and Sylvia Slade and E. Nottell the
best singles of their color ever shown
before the club.

Mr. Jenkinson, gardener for A. H.
Peacock, showed 3 vases of standard
doubles. For the private conservatory
he considered Yellow Miller the best
yellow and Beatrice May, the best
white. 'Ihe committee awarded him a
cultural certificate.

W. A. Morten, an enthusiastic ama-
teur, showed a vase of standard varie-
ties grown under difficulties, which the
committee considered a credit to him
and awarded him a cultural certifi-
cate. Mr. Phillips, gardener for H. J.
Heinz had a good display for which
he was awarded a certificate of merit.

Fred Wissenbach, showed single
and double chrysanthemums and Celo-
sia. Pride of Castle Gould; cultural
certificate. Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.
showed fine single and double chrysan-
themums. Among the singles Mary
Richardson and Jno Gossimler were
noticeable, and Lady Lee, a white,
was especially charming. Of the
doubles, Fred Burki, speaking for the
Company, especially likes Thanksgiv-
ing Queen, a fine white. Brutus is the
only bronze he grows. Maud Dean al-
ways comes good and can be planted
close. Appleton is still a good com-
mercial yellow. The committee award-
ed a cultural certificate and highly
commended Appleton.

Homewood Cemetery, Wm. Allen,
supt., showed a fine collection of
doubles and a vase of blooms; certifi-
cate of merit. Walter James, gardener
for Rev. Hilliard, Pittsburgh, showed
collection of cut blooms— cultural cer-
tifies i

C. H. Godwin of Godwin Bros.,
Bridgeville, showed standard commer-
cials He thinks Early Snow the best
earlv white, and called attention to the
fact" that he found the early varieties
keep better than the late ones; certifi-
cate of merit. Randolph & McClem-
ents, among yellows like Negoya,
which stands handling and lasts well,
and Mrs. Geo. Wells and Clara Wells;
certificate of merit.

The Bureau of Parks had an inter-

esting collection. No variety attracts
more attention at the Park green-
houses than Reine du Japon, the petals
of which air something like a cactus
dahlia but longer and finer. They
think Wm. Turner the best white
double, and they certainly grow it to
perfection; cultural certificate. Elliott
Nursery Co. showed an Euonymus
that they think better than radicans.
Subject for next meeting — Every-
body Bring a Plant.

NASSAU COUNTY HORTICULTUR-
AL SOCIETY.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Nassau County Horticultural Society
was held in Pembroke Hall. President
Trepess presiding on Thursday even-
ing, Nov. 9th. The manager of the
fall show, Geo. Barton, and all those
that helped him in his many and
arduous duties received a very hearty
vote of thanks from the members. Fe-
lix Mense offered a gold medal for the
best 100 single violets to be competed
for at the December meeting.

President Trepess took occasion to
present to Henry Gaut the Stumpp &
Walter silver cup which he won at
the fall show for the best group of
chrysanthemums, also the Mrs. F. S
Smithers cup for the best collection of
hardy chrysanthemums. Henry Cliffe
was presented with the Rickards Bros
cup which he won for the best 18
blooms of chrysanthemums.

The result of the competition for the
society's prize was as follows:

Chrysanthemums, pink, Henry Gaut:
white, Henry Cliffe; yellow, Paul Reul.
For two vases of seedling chrysanthe-
mums a certificate of merit was award-
ed John F. Johnstone. For tomatoes
Stirling Castle, honorable mention to
F. Petroccia. For lettuce, cultural cer-
tificate to F. Petroccia.

The Society's prize in December will
be for carnations, 12 white, 12 pink, 12
red. The election of officers will be
held at the December meeting and that
meeting and all others until further
notice will be held in the afternoons,
at 2 p. m.

GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS* CLUB
OF BOSTON.

At the meeting on the 14th there
was a large attendance, the princ.pal
business being nomination of officers
for next year. The result was as fol-
lows: For president, Thomas Pegler;
vice-president, Wm. J. Kennedy; sec-
retary, W. N. Craig; treasurer, Peter
Fisher: executive committee, W. J.
Patterson. Peter Miller, Herman
Bartch, J. Van Baarda, A. E. Thatcher.

On motion of J. K. M. L. Farquh r
the sum of $50 was donated towards
the Sweet Pea Society of America
im ting to be held in Boston next
July.

In the absence of a special lecture,
Mr. Van der Vort gave an interesting
short talk, speaking chiefly of some
of the better flowering shrubs.

A very spirited discussion took
place regarding closer relations with
Amherst Co"ege. Seven new members
were proposed.

NEWPORT HORTICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.

An important meeting of this So-
ciety was held on the evening of Nov.
14, the principal business being to con-
sider the matter of co-operating with
the new "Garden Association" in hold-
ing an out-door exhibition next June,
as the Association some time ago sug-
gested to the Society. After opening
the meeting President Meikle stated
that J. McLeish, A. MacLellan and
himself as a committee from the So-
ciety had had an interesting interview
with officers of the Association and
learned that that organization is
planning to have a very extensive dis-
play with many new and foreign ideas
worked into the arrangements. It is
expected that some of the features
will be fancy plantings of shrubs,
evergreens, annual and perennial
plants in flower, and that encourage-
ment will be given to bring exhibits
from far and near. The exhibition
will also be somewhat of a society
event as the members of the Associa-
tion are mostly owners of Newport
estates. The information given about
the plan of co-operation seemed to be
agreeable to the members present, and
it was unanimously voted to join in
the undertaking.

Another pleasing feature of the
meeting was the presentation of the
silver cups to winners at the Sep-
tember Show. The honor of present-
ing these was given to Treasurer A. K.
McMahon, who made a very pleasant
speech in each case. John Mahan.
gardener for H. D. Anchincloss, was
the recipient of the Henry A. Dreer cup
for collection of hardy perennial flow-
ers, and also the Joseph Breck & Sons
cup for collection of annuals. Wm.
Grey is the happy possessor of the
Stumpp & Walter Co. cup for a collec-
tion of vegetables, and J. Robertson is
now the owner of the Rickards Bros.'
cup for a table decoration. This pleas-
ing ceremony was closely followed by
rounds of cigars from the cup owners.

TWO NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS BY ELMER D. SMITH & CO.

Pink Jem
Mr. Smith writes that while his best blooms did not
exceed 6 inches in diameter their pleasing shade of light
pink, perfect form, ideal stem and foliage immediately
places this variety in the front rank of the commercial
sorts. — C. S. A. Certificate.

Aesthetic

Exceptionally beautiful as the name implies. The petals
closely incurve and are so arranged as to form distinct
tiers of puffs or rolls rather than the regular contour
usually seen in the incurved section. Its exquisite shade
of delicate primrose as displayed by the unique form im-
mediately appeals to those of refined taste. — C. S. A. Cer-
tificate.

There was an augmented attend-

and consequently the thermometer of
hilarity kept at the highest mark all
through the performance, what with
Scot i ptions of the game and

deer battles recently near Richmond,
Va., where the noise was likened to
that in Civil War times and the ever-
flowing stream of wit and wisdom from
all present — well, to say the least, it
was one of those "nights." The army

We learn from P. Ouwerkerk, rep-
resenting Association Flora of Bos-
koop, that Azalea mollis is very si
in Holland on account of the dry sum-
mer and more have been sold than can
ed for tli is fall. A few years
ago there were so many Azalea mollis
grown in Holland and in Belgium that
the prices came down so low that many
of the giowers reduced their stock for
outplanting so that they will continue
to be scarce for a few years to come.

ceded the dinner. The big dining and
reception rooms of the New Ebbitt
House were utilized for the occasion.
An orchestra furnished music through-
out the evening and a quartet and sev-
eral soloists with the aid of the toast-

Hallowe'en Party.
The store and office employes of the
Geo. Witihold Co. of Edgebrook, of
Buckingham Place and of their North

and social evening at Hie residence of
Fred Wittbold. The tables were set

gotten.

Miscellaneous News.

A new incorporation is under way
to take over the old D. D. Johnson
Co.'s business of manufacturing the
Evergreen Brands of Fertilizer. Noth-
ing to date has been completed but
some excellent business men have the
matter under consideration.

The E. Wienhoeber Co., for many
years has had fall openings which
have showed much more than ordinary
taste and elegance and this year was
no exception unless it was exceptional-
ly good. Table decorations were a
feature and the work in all lines was
much admired during the three days'
exhibition.

Invitations are out for the marriage
of Martha Robakowski and Frank W.
Paszkiet, Nov. 22nd. at St. Mary's
Church. An all day and evening re-
ception follows the early wedding ac-
cording to the custom of that nation-
ality. Frank is receiving his full
share of attention from his fellow em-
ployes, but is a model of good nature.

The lessons to be learned from the
Land Show are no longer doubted by
any one and the Chicago florists are
anxious to get their share. The ar-
rangements and decorations alone are
worth studying and among the varied
products of the entire country are
hints in plenty to the ones who are
looking for them. The third annual
event opens Nov. 18th.

To try and do away with the
middleman in the bulb import-
ing business is like trying to
economize on the policeman in
the middle of a busy street.
It's a sort of finesse that sel
dom works out profitably.
There are so many ways a
buyer can become a loser by
doing his own importing that
it is not policy for the average
grower to do it. It is a busi-
ness by itself, and it's better
for most buyers to buy from
an American house than a for-
eign one, because you can get
in quick, close touch with those
responsible without difficulty
and expense. This alone has
saved buyers many a dollar
that would otherwise have
been lost to brokers and other
parasites whose business it is
to prey upon the unwary and
ignorant in all sorts of ways
that cost money. Buy your
bulbs and plants from good
first-class American houses —
in the long run you can't do
better anyway, and, besides, by
helping Americans you help
yourself and encourage home
industry. What business do
you get from a man entirely
foreign to this country? Who
supports you and your business
— the Americans or the for-
eigners? Support those who
support you — and, above all,
don't let a foreigner sail home
with a mortgage on your bank
account and a lien on your
business.

Brand Bulbs. Write for prices.

Seed Trade

The Seed Disclaimer Upheld.
The following Supreme Court de-
cree will be of considerable interest
10 the American seed trade:

state of Wisconsin: In Supreme Court-
Leonard Seed Company, Plaintilt and Re
spoudeut, vs. The i mrj Canning Company,
Defendant and Appellant.

On February I 1, 1908 plaintiff and de

m entered Into a contract wherebj

the plaint Iff agreed to sell t.. the defendant

certaiu earietles ol Beed peas. A ng

other things, the plaintlfl agreed t.> fur-
nish one thousand bushels >>f "AdTancer"
peas, sueh peas were to be grown during

the Beas ( 1908, t" be delivered after

ist, bul in season for the planting
ii ide tor the year 1909. A quantity of
peas was delivered under this contract to
defendant, it giving its promissory
notes in payment therefor according t"
the terms of the contract. The pea- so
sold were in turn sold by the defendant
to various farmers for the purpose of
planting, and under contracts by virtue
..;■ which the farmers agreed to sell tin-
peas raised from such seed t<> the de-
fendant. The plaintiff brought action upon
the miles. The defendant, among other
things, interposed a counterclaim setting
forth that the peas furnished "ere not
"Advancer" peas; that they were received
by the defendant without knowledge of
that tact; Hi. it there was no means of dis-
covering that they were not "Advancer"
peas until after they had been Sowed and

the seed bad germinated) and that as soon
a- the defendant discovered that the peas
were not of the variety purchased it noti-
fied plaintiff. The counterclaim further set

forth that the peas were mixed with other

different varieties, making it impossible to
harvest them without a mixture of over-
ripe peas of varieties other than "Advan-
cer." Facts tire pleaded tending to show
damage, and Judgment is asked for the
amount thereof. On the trial the court
allowed the defendant to amend its answer
by setting tip a new counterclaim for the
purchase priee of the peas. The trial court
laid that the peas were sold without war-
ranty as to quality .o- description, and
directed a verdict for the plaintiff for the
nmount claimed, less $343.75. The peas
were shipped from Chicago and invoiced
on the basis of fifty-six pounds to t lie
bushel. The court held that the de-
fendant was entitled to receive sixtj
pounds per bushel, ami hence made the
tor. going reduction. From a judgment in
plaintiff's favor defendant appeals.

The contract for the sale of the peas con-
tained the following provisions:

"It is also understood and agreed that
the party of the first part (Plaintiff) does
ii ^ive. and its agents and employes are
forbidden to give, any warranty, express
or implied, as to description, quality, pro-
ductiveness, or any other matter, of any
seeds, delivered or to be delivered by it,
and that it is not, and will not be in any
way responsible for the crops."

Counsel for the appellant admit "that
plaintiff is freed by the terms of this con-
tract from all liability as to the seed in
question being good or bad, large or small,
wrinkled or smooth, black or while, wormy.
sound, vital or dead." Rut counsel argue
that the peas furnished under the contract
must lie of the "Advancer" variety and
that plainiff was not relieved by its con-
tract from liability for dami-e resulting
from furnishing peas other than "Advancer"

peas ft was practically conceded on the

argi nt that the clause quoted was Mi-
ll to exempt the plaintiff from such
liability as was sought to l.e enforced
against it under the counterclaim in this
action. The concession was advisedly made.

The i s to he delivered under tin i

tract were described therein as "Advancer"

Rut the contract provided that no

warranty express or implied was given

that the peas furnished should I f the

description named therein If a dealer in
seed pens caii exempt itself from liability
for selling had. wormy or dead peas to a
--lower, no good reason is apparent why
it cannot go further and say that it will
'"'i lie responsible in the event "f an in-
termixture "f other peas with the varietv
agreed to he furnished. Neither of the
parties here are under guardianship or
incompetent to contract. There is no claim
that the contract signed was not the one
ft'-ireed upon or that both parties did not
fully understand what they were agreeing
t". Plaintiff plainly undertook to relieve it-

self from liability in case of intermixture,
.and defendant agreed that it should be
relieved, it is not claimed that the con-
tract is void because contrary to public law
or to public policy, and. if not, effect should
l»e given to it. The vender might reject
and refuse to receive the peas if they were
not "Advancer" peas, or it might well bo
that in the event of the shipment being
made in had faith, and with the purpose
and intention of committing fraud upon
the vendee, an action for damages for the
fraud would lie. but we have no sueh case
before us. If it Ik- conceded that the con-
tract is one-sided, it must also be conceded
that the parties had a right to make a one
sided contract if they saw fit.

Counsel for appellant cite the following
authorities to sustain the contention that,
notwithstanding the agreement of the par-
ties, there was a warranty th.it the peas
sold would answer the description con-
taiued in the contract, or in any event that
there was a breach of a condition of the
contract by the failure of the plaintiff to
furnish the thing cent racted for. Josling
v. Klngsford, IS ('. B. (N. S.) 447; Colum-
bian I. \\\ & D. D. <'o. v. Douglas 33
L. R. A. 10:; ; Shepherd v. Kain, 5 R. & Aid.
240; Allan v. Lake, 18 Q. B. 560; Weiler v.
ftchilizzi, 17 C. R. 619. These cases do not
hold that a party selling an article under
a designated name may not relieve himself
from liability in his contract of sale, in the
event that the article delivered does mil
answer the description contained in the
contract. Some very general language is
Psed in t lie contracts of sale involved in
the cases cited, ami in some of them it
inighl well be construed as being broad
enough to extend to i he description of the
article, hut in none of the cases has it
been so construed. Those « asos were de-
ci.ied upon the theory that this general
language was intended to refer to the qual-
ity of the article furnished and not to the
description <>f the article itself, in Taylor
\. Buileii. " Excheq. Reports, 77!>. where
in article was sold and the party under-
took to relieve himself from liability in
his contract of sale by stating that he
would not he liable for "any defect or error
whatsoever," it was hold that the won!
"error" was broad enough to Include an
error in description as well as an error in
quality, and that their- was no liability on
tin- part of the vendor, oven though the
article furnished did not answer the de-
scription nf the article contracted for.

If the seller expressly refuses to war-
rant, tbere can be no excuse for raising an
implied warranty. Habersham v. Rodrigues,
1 Specs (S. C.) -".1-1: Farr v. Gist, 1 Rich.
Raw (S. C), 68; Pauntelroy v. Wilcox. 80
ill. 477: Lynch v. Curfman, 65 Minn. 17m

The case of Blizzard Brothers v. Growers'
Canning Co., 132 X. W. (la.) I7i*,. is directly
in point. There a packet was marked
•Larue cheese pumpkin seed" and sold as
such, w lieu in fact it contained "Connecti-
cut pie pumpkin seed" mixed with a few
squash. On the package the following war-

ranty was printed: "While we exercise
great care to have all seeds pure and re-
liable and t rm- to name, our seeds are sold
without any warranty, express or implied,
and without any responsibility in respect to
the crop." There was no* evidence to
Show that the purchaser read this war-
ranty, but there was evidence showing that
1 1 was a general custom among seed men
to --ell seeds without warranty as to qual-
ity ami as to true name, and such custom
was held to he bind big upon the purchaser.
A contract deliberately entered into between
two parties exempting one of them from
liability in ease seeds sold are not true to
name, should he as binding as a custom
among dealers not to sell with a warranty
that the seeds furnished are true to de-
scription.

As before stated, we do not bold that,
if the plaintiff acted in bad faith and with
the intention of deceiving and defrauding
the defendant, or even if it failed to exer-
cise ilue care and caution in selecting the
seed, the hitter woald not have a cause of

No. 7574. Vegetable and Flower
Seeds. — An American consular officer in
a Latin American country, in response
to inquiries from the United States,
writes that the leading dealer in vege-
table and flower seeds in his district
would be glad to enter into relations
with concerns in the United States for
importing their seeds at profitable fig-
ures. Hitherto he has imported most
of his seeds from European countries,
as he claims that prices in the United
States have been too high. Firms
should correspond directly with this
dealer, sending him catalogues, price
lists, discounts, etc. These should be
in the Spanish language, and it would
be advisable for prices to be quoted
in local currency f.o.b. some well-
known American seaport. Weights and
measures should be expressed in the
metric system. The consular officer
also suggests that firms send cata-
logues and literature to the commer-
cial organizations in the leading cen-
ters of the country, a list of which is
given in the report and can be ob-
tained from the Bureau of Manufac-
tures.

No. 7580. Garden Seeds of Various
Kinds.— A report from an American
consular officer states that owing to
the continued drought of the past sum-
mer, a certain country is practically
without seeds for spinach, carrots, tur-
nips and flowers. Offers should be
made immediately. Names of promi-
nent dealers, who should be addressed,
are given in the report.

it kept together as the drop from 7S

Wm. C. Smith and Adam Zender, the
latter from Chicago, were in a big
smashup the past week in which both
came near losing their lives, their
buggy in which they were riding being
run into from the rear by an automo-
bile. Mr. Zender came out with but
a few hurts but Mr. Smith was pain-
fully hurt about the face and body
which kept him in doors all of the
week. From reports he will be out
this week.

The Engelmann Botanical Club held

was very interesting. After the meet-

Flower Market Reports

Local flower trade is de-
BOSTON cidedly slack and the
markets which depend
upon local demand for their prosperity
are feeling it. With the houses tuat
have a shipping trade business is ex-
cellent and these houses are among
the best friends the markets have at
such times, as they are heavy buyers
and help materially to unload the sur-
plus that otherwise would be at the
mercy of the street vultures. Demand
from outside points is decidedly bet-
ter than from the vicinity of Boston.
The New Haven fondness for violets
is beginning to have its effect on that
commodity and prices have advanced
to a reasonable figure. Quality is
good on all lines.

The past two weeks has
BUFFALO found the early winter

trade only fair, that is,
not better than previous years. The
volume of business was larger, but the
prices obtained less. The cause can
only be laid to the fine fall weather,
which had a tendency to bring on the
chrysanthemums, roses and carna-
tions, etc., faster than they could be
disposed of at good prices, consequent-
ly the accumulation of flowers was
heavy and prices far below their
actual value. This applies mostly to
roses and carnations, though the early
variety of chrysanthemums, mostly
of the ordinary quality, suffered the
most. I'ompons had a better call, and
the demand for yellow was the heav-
iest, though other varieties shared In
the demand. The late varieties are
here, and some exceptionally fine
Eaton in yellow are had, also Maud
Dean, Bonnaffon, Balfour, Enguehard,
and no complaint can be made about
these, for they sell well and the prices
are encouraging to the wholesaler and
grower. Beauties are scarce, and
prices have advanced a notch. The
long grades are fine, but the shorts
are only ordinary poor blooms, and
sell below summer prices. Killarneys,
Marylands, Richmonds, 'Maids, Brides
and Perles are in good winter form —
that is. all but the prices. Lily of the
valley has been plentiful, also violets.
There was plenty of everything, and
the retailers had little or no trouble
to fill any order, no matter how large.
Cold weather is looked for, which will
not alone check the supply, but bring
down the bargain signs which have
been so conspicuous in every shop
window for the past months, as the
time has come when the season's
business should actually begin.

The preceding busy
CHICAGO weeks in the wholesale

market have given way
to one of comparative quiet, for which
the sudden drop of 59 degrees in the
temperature is supposed to be respon-
sible. Stock has not suffered in qual-
ity but rather the opposite condition
obtains. Beauties are becoming
scarcer. Aside from the number used
locally, the various flower shows have
drawn many prizeward, and the reg-
ular shipping demand has been steady
also. Chrysanthemums are not gen-
erally counted as quite up to those of
average years — more of the medium
blooms and pompons and rather less
of the fancy ones. Roses are in good
supply, the highest grades being first

to sell out. Carnations are all tbat
could be desired, and a full supply is
now in the market. Violets are com-
ing in more abundantly now, but the
largest demand is drifting to I lie more
showy flowers, as is general in chrys-
anthemum season. Orchids, as well as
violets and lily of the valley have been
in especial demand recently. The first
paper while narcissi were noticed last
week.

Last week's market
CINCINNATI which started fair at

the opening was slow
at the close and this week's started in
inverse order. It was caused princi-
pally by a slack demand for flowers
for work and heavy cuts of cull chrys-
anthemums. These naturally held the
price of the latter ones down where
one would expect that with the sudden
advent of the very cold weather they
would go sky-high. The shipping
business continues good. Locally roses
and carnations seem to be off crop.
The pink roses are selling well, while
White, owing to the continued large
supply, do not clean up as readily.
There is a sufficiency of choice Beau-
ties, and a scarcity in the medium and
short. Red roses are strong, but the
sizes run mostly from medium to
shoit. Other offerings include lilies,
lily of the valley, double and single
violets and orchids.

A decidedly better
NEW YORK feeling prevails in

the wholesale district
as compared with the past three weeks.
The cold weather has shortened up the
supply a little of course, but not a
great deal. It has also sharpened up
the buying appetite and thai counts
and gives the seller the necessary
courage to put prices back where they
belong. Roses, lilies and some of the
minor stocks have advanced but in
chrysanthemums there is little change.
Quality is good all down the list.

There has been
PHILADELPHIA some slight im-
provement in
general business conditions in the
wholesale markets here. Sonic depart-
ments were worse; some better — but
on the average an improvement.
The chrysanthemums have probably
reached their high wat now,

as to quantity — and when we say
quantity, we mean the vast influx of
medium-grade stock that usually
swamps the market at the height of
the season, — this volume will decrease

from now on, as the smaller growers
are cut out; higher grades will now
have a chance. The big wide-awake
growers realizing the all round su-
premacy of Bonnaffon planted heavily
of this, consequently there are. big cuts
to offer of magnificent blooms and also
plenty of fine flowers to meet more
moderate requirements. Appleton —
both light and dark, Dear Friend, the
two Eatons. Maud Dean, and .Mrs. Jo-
rome Jones, are also cutting a wide
swath in popular esteem. There are
also a very few of the Golden Chad-
wick anil White Chadwick. While
Bonnaffon is to be seen but this does
not seem to be in the same class with
the yellow Bonnaffon, although a
pretty good flower. The rose market
naturally lags a little among this
wealth of glory. There is no lack in
quantity or quality, in the regula
rieties, although American Beauty has
been rather on the short side and we
hear of some orders for these late in
the week that could not be supplied.
Violets also were in excellent demand.
Prices on these held firm and all
flowers that were any good cleaned
up excellently. More and better garde-
nias. Fewer orchids. Demand good
in both. Callas and mignonette are
new items. Carnations and other sta-
ples holding their own at normal fig-
ures.

The market was in
ST. LOUIS pretty good condition

all of last week. There
was plenty of cut stock of anything
seasonable and at prices within I
of all. Fancy tOCB ' up

by all the up-town ilorisis al
prices. The call was C01 fancy

chrysanthemums and the comn
man found no trouble in ili
them each morning. Carnations are
looking better and also elling well
Violets, lily of the valley and
are coming in good at present. Roses
are more plentiful than any other
flower just now. but they, too, seem
to sell better than usual al this par
ticular time. The retail trade has

picked up greatly since the cold
w.ather and the trade is looking for
good steady business from now on.

Flower Market Reports

(Continued from page 711)

Business during
WASHINGTON the past week was
not as good as ex-
pected. With the thermometer below
30 degrees it was expected that things
would begin to boom, but such was
not the case. The Pure Food Show
called for a considerable amount of
cut flowers and plants and a number
of large weddings added to the week's
work. The Bane-Roosevelt and the
Easterday weddings consumed over a
thousand chysanthemums and a large
number of American Beauties and
other stock. These latter are coming
in fine shape and meet with a ready
demand. There are lots of chrysan-
themums on the market but they are
moving at low figures. Roses are
fairly plentiful and are of good qual-
ity. Lilies are in small demand and
not many are being shipped into the
city which means that few are lost
through being unsalable. Orchids
are a little more plentiful and selling
better. In the case of carnations the
demand equals the supply and the
stock is improving daily, while greens
are hanging fire. Sweet peas are
starting to come in but in limited
quantities. The amount of Hudson
River violets is small in quantity but
good and the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co.
are showing some exceptionally fine
stock. Lily of the valley is moving

LORD & BURNHAM COMPANY'S

NEW PHILADELPHIA

MANAGER.

On Nov. 10, 1911, D. T. Connor, who
has been associated with Ix)rd &
Burnham Company's Philadelphia of-
fice for tli.' past few years, resigned
his position.

As we announced in these columns
a month or so ago. Mr. Montague C.
Wright, who for the past seven years
has been associated with Lord &
Burnham Company's New York of-
fice, was at that time made manager
of the Philadelphia office and south-
ern territory. Mr. Wright, as an old
Philadelphia boy, was for several
years in the employ of Frederick H.
O'Neill, who was then sales agent in
that section for Hitchings & Com-
pany's greenhouses. Mr. Wright is a

Montague C. Wright

man of broad greenhouse experience,
having handled some of the largest
contracts of the firm in both the com-
mercial and private field. Having
started in the business by doing the
pra< Oca! siilcs of the work, he has the
advantage of a thorough understand-
ing of its every detail. In planning
and designing various lay-outs he has
been particularly successful.

:ociated with Mr. Wright will be
Mr. Woodward, who. in his recent po-
sition as manager of the pipe frame
construction department at the Com-
pan>' ton factory, has had ex-

ceptional opportunities for acquiring
experience in both the manufacturing
and selling phases of the greenhouse
business. With such a combination
of sales ability the Company's friends
in the Philadelphia section and the
great south will certainly be well
taken care of.

iHIS Is tlie M. A. S. Hewett range at Ringwood, N. .1.
Some of the houses were built on the old foundations
so the general arrangement and layout was simply du-
plication.

It's one of those private ranges with a thorough business

look about it.

Just straight away practical growing houses — "no fuss or

feathers."

Perhaps that's the kind you want.

If you don't, we can plan you one that is as ornamental as

you wish. Better have them curved eave. We have got ours

down to a fine point now.

There's no better house built — and seldom as good. Better

write us. Have you the catalog — the 104 pager? Want it?

us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, It leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, If any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 6-7 Inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

Physostegias

Physostegia, Byn. Dracocephaluni.
or — as the common name of
hardy herbaceous plant genus reads
— False Dragon-Head, is one of our
best tall-growing midsummer peren-
nials. Of erect slender growth, at-
taining a height of from l ' _• to 4
feet, it is an ideal border plant,
also well adapted for the wild
flower garden. The foliage, of ex-
traordinary substantiality, on thrif-
ty phmts shows a dark vivid green.
Best known in gardens botli here
and abroad is the original form
Physostegia virginica with its
white flowering descendant, P. vir-
giniana alba. Both flower d
duly and August, producing attrac-
tive terminal spikes of thick!
•Miii- of rosj lavendar or
white. Their value as effi
materia] Eor filling vases is La-
creased by their wonderful Is
quality. The flowers in the vase
shown on our illustration had been
cut neatly a week before the picture was taken and re-
mained fresh in appearance for several days thereafter.
In formal gardens and on (he mixed borders on lawns
and in park- physostegias should be planted rather

closely BO a- fr the \ery Mart to form a thick mass

of stalks. The roots of this perennial have to Bonn
extent a rambling habit of growth and for this reason
physostegias can be very easily propagated by divisions.

Of more recent introductions I mention Physostegia
alba grandiflora representing a decided improvement
over the common white form, and a low growing variety
listed as nana compacts and said to he freely branching.

The fact that the number of tall midsummer flower-

servation an open -unn\ exposure is preferable in the
North while south of New York 1 bave found physos-

Care must be taken that the plant- receive sufficient
water during prolonged hot and dry weather.

New Chinese Plants in England

It has occurred to the writer that a few remark- con
cerning the Chinese plants introduced by Mr. Wilson
and their behai ior in English gardens may be of interesl
to American readers as all the plants of this collection
were received from the \ Arboretum, Boston,

Mass., through the gerierositj P ofeesor C. S. Sargent.
tor of that famous institution.

To illustrate what has been aelne\ed w ith these plants
and the high estimation in which they are held in this
country we might refer -to the two groups

which have been exhibited before the Royal Horticul-
tural Society in two bu< — are, and on each occa-
sion the highest award of thi Society, namely a gold
medal. was given. It would be impossible here to speak
of the merits of each variety in such a rich and vi
collection but it is mi : tat nearly

The result of the recent annual election
Politics u| fche Massachusetts Eorticultural So-
versus i has created a sensal ion. For the

Horticulture pa-! i,.,, years a quiescent state has pre-
vail -nner warring fac-
tions of the Society, which has been followed by a
greatly improved financial condition and phenomenal

orticultural work, not only of the Si
ciety but ommunity. Peace and progress have

liled in horticultural Boston for a decade, and the
wanton act which has ruthlessly precipitated the Society

':' jgrei i regretted.

Had there been any principle or important issue at
there might be some excuse, but there was neither.

Personal ambitions may have been accountable for the
unusual appearance at the polls of half a hundred or
more members who are not accustomed to take any inter-
est in the society's affairs. Thai a horticulturist of such
standing and value lo the Society as Mr. Peter Fisher
should have failed of re-election as trustee when he
ic ;i 1 1 \ had the largest support of the regular voluntary
voters is a blov. a1 the vital interests of horticulture that
i- deplored and stronglj resented. The end is not yet.

The exhibition season is now on

What have the the wane. What have we learned

exhibitions taught? from the experiences of this year's

shows? What deductions can be
drawn that will be \aluable for future guidance so that
the direct usefulness of these events shall be enhanced
and that the best results may be attained. Our readers'
answers to this query would probably be as diverse as
their own individuality. Should there he any who
have learned nothing, then so far as they are concerned
the exhibitions have to that extent failed in their mis-
sion. Exhibitors — whether successful in prize winning
or otherwise — managers and promoters, judges, visitors
whether professional or of the general public — for each
and every one the experience of each year should impart
its lesson — knowledge not before possessed — and for the
future, purposes and aspirations of which the stimulating
motive is a desire for advancement. Xow is the right
time, while the memory is fresh, the critical spirit still
active and people are yet in the mood to listen or to
read, to tell your friends frankly and without prejudice,
where and how in your opinion improvement may be
made. The subject is' surely a prolific one.

While penning the foregoing we n -

What is Call a quite lively discussion, to

"arrangement?" whieh we recently had the pleasure

of listening, between some observant
and progressive-spirited gentlemen as to the justice of
the judges' decisions in making their awards to exhibits
"arranged for effect" on a certain occasion. A fair
unanimity wa- expressed as to the number of points
variously credited as per the scale by which the judges
had been governed, excepting as to the item of "arrange-
ment" which in the case under discussion was. of course,
a weighty factor. On the judges' figures on this point
the debaters split and the basis of their contention was
their several interpretations of the word '"arrangement."
Sow, one great aim in all rules of competition and judg-
ing should lie to make everything so clear that the pos-
sibility of misunderstanding on the part of exhibitors,
judges or public should be reduced to a minimum and
here seems to be a place where there is room for improve-
ment. To a man of a certain temperament, color har-
mony will be of paramount importance and no group of
plants or flowers, however well placed otherwise, will
gain his commendation if it so be that his color sense
is -hocked. To another it may be mainly a question of
form inecise balance or rambling irregularity? To an
other the compliance with certain rules as to the nat-
ural habits of plants — as, for instance, the placing of
an epiphytal species on the ground level and a terres-
trial species in an elevated position in an orchid group,
wool. I be faulty and inadmissible arrangement in the
estimate of the last named — and so on. In view of these
facts and the dissatisfactions which have developed at
times why ic drop t J i i ~ ambiguous wonl "arrangement"
from our scales of points and adopt sub-divisions which
will tend to eliminate these sources of trouble. Scales
of points are a great advance over (he old impressionist
method of judging, but that they are not yet perfect
will, we think be generally admitted.

THE EXHIBITIONS

FRENCH CHRYSANTHEMUM SO-
CIETY.

On October 26th, the above named

Society held its 16th Annual Show
and Congress at Biarritz, France. The
show was practically organized by M.
Rodrlgues, President of the Gascony
Golf Club, with the assistance of the
Bayonne Horticultural Society. Our
heartiest thanks as well as those of
all the visitors are due to that gen-
tleman for his genial and sympathetic
reception. The festivities were of the
most hospitable character and lasted
during four days.

The show was international in char-
acter. M. Martinet and m. Blot, both
of Paris, were the Presidents of the
Jury. The Vice-Presidents were Senor
Alfred de la Pena of San Sebastian
who represented Spain and Mr. Hat-
man Payne who did the same for Eng-
land. The Secretary General of the
Jury was M. Philippe Rivnire of the
French Chrysanthemum Society.

The judging being over the Jury
repaired to the Grand Hotel fronting
the sea and there in a lovely saloon
with every pleasant surrounding were
entertained to a sumptuous lunch. M.
Martinet presided. M. Rodrigues of-
fered a cordial welcome. Other speak-
ers were M. Kivoire and Mr. Harman
Payne. The party then returned to
the Casino for the opening ceremony,
at which the orchestra out of compli-
ment to the foreign visitors played
the English and Spanish national an-
thems and likewise the Marseillaise.

The entrance to the Casino is
through a gateway in an ornamental
railing which encloses a neat little
garden. Then the visitor finds him-
self at the entrance door and passing
through the vestibule gets a splendid
view of the show from the top of the
grand staircase consisting of a double
flight of steps.

The first grand prize of honor was
awarded to Vilmorin Andrieux & Co.
for two fine collections of plants in
pots and a border on one side of the
room. They were both edged with
low dwarf pots of pompons in front in
two lines. The border contained some
prettily trained plants, pyramids, etc.

The next important lot came from
Messrs. Gelos Freres and Mme. Begue
who staged a beautifully decorated
side hall with the table decorations.
We certainly never saw the like. From
the centre chandelier there were fes-
toons of vine leaves having electric
lamps, and these festoons were dis-
tributed round the tour corners of the
hall. Great attention was paid to the
table cloths, lamp shades and glass
ware on the tables. Everything, even
to the flowers, were of the same
shade. There was a large centre
table decorated with white roses and
around it thirteen circular tables in
which each had its feature of

color designs in lily of the valley.
. ageratum, carnations, orchids,
violets, etc. The windows of this hall
were decorated with bamboos :;nd
pots of chrysanthemums on pedestals
at intervals. The second grand prix
d'honneur was awarded for this truly
grand display.

The third chief prize was awarded
to M. Rodrigues who staged a most
meritorious group. We noted among

them sum. \rer\ fine blooms, lie was

also the exhibitor of several other

groups Of dahlias, roses, etc., which

contributed materially to the beauty

and sin > oi the exhibition. Anoth-

er excellent exhibit was by M. Bonnet.

Just off the main corridor in a side
passage we saw a collection of trained
■ chrysanthemums In all sorts of quaint
forms, a practice much in vogue with
French growers just now. Other ex-
hibits (tunc from M. A. Roumagnac,
who had a fine lot of cut blooms also
a tall stand of roses. Some good cut
blooms came from M. Pieudrot (gard.
to Comte F. de Beam).

Going casually around the show we
should say that big exhibition blooms
were not so numerous as would be
seen at an English show. But this was
no defect for the happy way in which
every exhibit was arranged more than
compensated lor what would have been
mere lumpiness. As is usual in
France there were no show boards and
no tables. Briefly we may say with-
out dealing with individual exhibits
that the best flowers from the English
point of view were Bryant's Beauty,
Lit. Col. Ducroisit, Australie, Maprov-
ence, Alfonso XIII.. Mrs. C. H. Totty,
Rayonnant, Sapho, Miss Dalton, Mr. R.
F. Felton, Lady Hopetoun, Ferd. de
Bievre, Paul Randet, Aut. Marmontel,
Nathalie Bourseul and a few others.

Quite a number of exhibitors en-
tered in the classes for new seedlings.
Tht prizes awarded were: Prix d'hon-
neur to the Calvat Establishment (M.
Ketiiy. director); prix d'honneur to
Alfred Chanbrier; medals and honor-
able mention to Messrs. Dolbois.
Prioux. Galinier. Brondel, Heraud, An-
dol. Lacroix, Lafitte and Raillon.

Floral art entries were well done.
They nearly all came from the florist
firm of Gelos Freres of Biarritz. Sev-
eral of their exhibits were really
choice. There were several interest-
ing collections in the miscellaneous
classes. M. A. Roumagnac showed
Nephrolepis in variety; M. Earsus
staged Begonia Rex and B. pictaven-
sis. There was also a good lot of
carnations staged by Labaste Broth-
ers.

Exhibitors of dahlias made a rich
contribution to the show. We must
refer to the large and varied collec-
tion of Messrs. Labaste Freres, mostly
cactus varieties. M. Rodrigues had a
long collection arranged on the
ground level of cut blooms that prac-
tically carpeted the floor.

Fruit and vegetables were shown in
moderate quantity.

C. HARMAN PAYNE.

S. W. Strickland, gardener for Miss

Caroline Hazard, Oakwood green-
houses, was awarded the first prize in
the prof i.il class for the collec-
tion i r cl t irsantl emums at the annu-
al chrysanthemum show of the Silent
Circle of King's Daughters, held at
Peace Dale, R. I., Nov. 9. The second
award wt made to Arthur Dixon.
;. Hazard, t ro-
prietor of the Halley House gi
houses. A fine si owing was made in
all classes. The exhibition of plants
and ci rs was in charge of Miss

Florence Northup and Charles Yost.
The judges of the professional classes
were Mrs. W. G. Gould, Mrs. Arthur
Dixon and Miss Florence Northup.

ELBERON HORTICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.

Editor HORTICULTURE:

Attention having been called to the
report on the Third Annual Chrysan-
themum Exhibition of the Elberon
Horticultural Society held at the Cas-
ino. Asbury Park. N. J., Nov. 7th and
sth, 1911, which appears in your issue
of Nov. 11th, and covers the subject
up to the opening of the Exhibition at
7 o'clock P. M., Nov. 7th, it is sur-
mised that supplemental comment
may be of interest.

The exhibition was opened by a
short address by the Mayor at the
conclusion of which checks were pre-
sented to the winners of the Asbury
Park Special prizes. $100.00 1st, $50.00
2nd and $25.00 3rd, the excellent judg-
ing from which there was no dissent
enabling the Society to do this.

To the mild criticism of the closed
classes there can be no serious objec-
tion, but the schedule was prepared
early in the season for the customary
local show and we have found the
closed classes to be a sensible ar-
rangement based on a fairly good
judgment of human nature. Our con-
nection with the Municipal Bureau of
Asbury Park, and the addition of the
fifty bloom class was not arranged
until a very short time previous to
the exhibition. But a young and vig-
orous society having attained one suc-
cess and feeling the throb of virility,
have concluded to make larger and
more attractive classes, all of which
will be open.

As a matter of course, outsiders
won in the open classes. It is to be
hoped that your correspondent does
not think us capable of enticing ex-
hibitors to our show by offers of lib-
eral prizes only to speed our parting
guests with empty purses. And your
correspondent should know that his
hope for our success has been real-
ized, for from that scattered popula-
tion of a dead city upward of four
thousand— to be precise, 4,074 — people
helped to make the Casino one bright
"asis. attendance the first day being
1,128, and the second day 2,946.

The Society feels elated because of
an impression that they have contrib-
uted to the accomplishment of one of
the purposes generally set forth in the
preamble of horticultural organiza-
tions, even though it is a modest be-
ginning.

Very truly,

BENJAMIN WYCKOFF, Sec.

THE MILWAUKEE SHOW.

This exhibition, which has been
widely advertised as something which
would be exceptional in quality and
lay-out, opened in the Auditorium on
the evening of November 15, a sum-
mer-land picture in a very wintry en-
vironment. The planning and arrange-
ment was under the management
of a committee composed of H.
V. Hunkel, chairman: C. C. Pollworth.
T. O. Heitman.W. C. Zimmerman, A.
Leidiger, C. Dallwig, A. F. Kc liner and
N. Zweifel. and they are deserving of
much credit for the excellent scheme
which they carried out with taste and
fine finish. Pergolas, arbors, foun-
tains and novel lighting effects were
among the attractions and the throngs
of visitors were well pleased with it

As president of this society it is my
desire that it should be the finest ex-

are already assured which have never
before been attempted. If you have a
piece of land available where you
could grow some sweet peas for this
show yon would be helping a good
cause at slight expense. A committee

INTERNATIONAL CHRYSANTHE-
MUM CONGRESS AT BIARRITZ.

On the afternoon of the opening
day the Jury and Congressistes were
officially received in one of the salons
(Hand Hotel Biarritz. M. Ro-
drigues, the genial President of the
Show, the Mayor and others warmly
welcomed the visitors. On the follow-
ing morning the first sitting was held.
M. Rodrigues proposed that M. Viger,
Senator and President of the French
Chrysanthemum Society, should take
the chair. The Bureau of the Con-
gress was then constituted, the follow-
ing gentlemen being invited to a seat
on the platform: Messrs. Rivoire,
Rosain. Dubreuil, Chanbrier, Rodri-
gues and Harman Payne. Among the
audience which was numerous we no-
ticed a good many of the well known
French chrysanthemum men.

The proceedings commenced by M.
Blot being called upon to read a paper
on the subject of a pocket edition of
the Repertoire des Couleurs. A handy
pocket edition would be a valuable
work for florists and its utility was
fully discussed. The next paper was
by M. Decault on the most appropriate
time for "taking the bud." The third
paper was read by D. Chifflot, who
dealt with the insect pests and dis-
eases that attack the chrysanthe-
mums. M. Crepin, alluding to the
heat of the past summer, stated that
all his plants grown in pots out in
the open were spoiled, the buds being
quite abortive, those grown under
shelter being better. Mr. Harman
Payne stated that in America, al-
though the chrysanthemum was a
hardy plant, it was grown in green-
houses and in benches and that the
English grower, Mr. Wells, had part-
ly adopted the practice and was sat-
isfied with his results. Mr. Payne
thought this method might prove ad-
vantageous to French growers, espe-
cially those who lived in the south.
D. Chifflot read several letters from
growers complaining of the effect of
the dry summer and great heat on
their plants. There were two papers
read on the subject of "Manures for
Chrysanthemums."

Medals were voted to various mem-
bers for past services and it was re-
solved that the town of Nantes should
be selected for the Congress of 1912.

The same evening a banquet was
held at 8.30 P. M. M. Viger presided.
A large company of distinguished lo-
cal and other visitors attended the
gathering which took place at the
Grand Hotel. The Mayor of Biarritz,
M. Martinet, M. Rodrigues, M. Ri-
voire, Mr. Harman Payne and others
were called upon to speak.

On Saturday, October 28th, about
80 of the Congressistes assembled at
the station to go to Hendage, a little
seaside place on the Spanish frontier.
The party were rowed across the Bi-
dassoa in boats to visit the old Span-
ish town of Fuenterrabbia, returning
the same way to Hendage. Here at
the newly erected Hotel Eskualduna
the party were entertained at lunch-
eon by Mr. Martinet. Train was then
taken for San Sebastian where the
sights were seen, including a visit to
the King of Spain's Palace of Mira-
mar and its gardens. Our friends and
colleagues being mostly light-hearted
eons of the sunny South, beguiled the
journey with singing their mountain

songs in patois, old and young, men
and women, joining in most heartily.

Sunday was the last day of these
festive proceedings. M. Rodrigues
presided at the morning session and
after the distribution of the prizes we
went off to Bayonne and spent the
day with M. Alfred Chanbrier of Bay-
onne. who is a well known French
raiser of new chrysanthemums.

son in California. Unlike introduc-
tions many years ago from India,
which were disseminated widely
through the country under the name
of strawberry-raspberry, this strain
has berries of a very pleasant flavor
suited for preserving. Its greatest
probable value, however, lies in its
early ripening. At Chico, Cal., fruits
were ripe while the standard varieties
were just in bloom. Similar results
were obtained in Maryland with this
variety. The fruits have no bloom,
are unusually large, and are very at-
tractive. From photograph by Dr.

NEWS NOTES.

Concord, N. H. — A new heating plant
has been installed in the greenhouses
of G. J. Benedict, 25 South street.

Flushing, N. Y.— The A. L. Thorne
greenhouse establishment here has
been purchased by M. F. Loughman,
who will rehabilitate the range tear-
ing down a part and building new
with the view of going largely into
rose growing — including American
Beauties— for the wholesale market.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

The landscape gardening class in
the Gardeners' and Florists' Club of
Boston is very successful and well
patroniaed this season, so that two
instructors are required.

At the next regular meeting of the
Buffalo Florists' Club a rare treat will
be in store for the members. President
McClure has managed to arrange for
a debate, and together with other en-
tertainment, a pleasant evening is as-
sured.

The North Shore Horticultural So-
ciety, Manchester, Mass., has elected
the following officers for the ensuing
year: President, Herbert Shaw; clerk,
.lames Salter; treasurer, John Jeffrey;
executive committee, F. F. Brasch, A.
E. Persons, J. Clark. J. Chapman, E.
Wetterlow. The financial condition of
the society is good. The society is de-
sirous of having a building of its own.

The annual banquet of the Utica (N.
Y.) Florists' Club was a very enjoy-
able affair. About 75 guests partici-
pated. An orchestra composed ot
members of the club rendered excel-
lent music. J. C. Spencer officiated as
toastmaster, and Dr. A. C. Beal of Cor-
nell delivered an instructive address
on the work that is being done at the
Experiment Station in the interests of
floriculture.

Rochester Florists' Association, at
their meeting on November 13th,
adopted a plan of having a display of
flowers and papers read at each meet-
ing of the winter on some topic of par-
ticular interest to florists. President
George B. Hart presided. Arnold
George is chairman of the committee
on entertainment. He submitted the
following programme of papers: De-
cember, "The Chrysanthemum," C. B.
Ogsten; January, "Perennials," J. M.
Keller; February, "Annuals," George
Arnold; March, "Roses," Lawrence
Cotter, of Jamestown; April, "Prun-
ing," John Dunbar, assistant superin-
tendent of parks.

from France, displayed more than a
hundred views of flowers and trees,
mostly in Rochester and vicinity, the
photographs for which were taken by
the Lumiere process of color photo-
graphy. Some of the difficult subjects
which had been taken were orchids at
the Kimball conservatory, which were
produced in their most delicate shades;
bonfire on Cobb's hill; the rainbow at
Niagara Falls, and the gold fish in the
water at Seneca park.

A NOTED ENGLISH CHRYSANTHE-
MUM GROWER.
At the Paris Chrysanthemum Show
which opened on November 3rd,
Thomas Stevenson scored an unusual
series of successes. He entered in
five classes. Apart from the blooms
themselves the taste displayed in their
arrangement was of a high order of
merit. The jury awarded him a work
of art, three large gold medals and
a large silver gilt medal. It is sel-
dom that English growers exhibit in
France, but the lot put up by this
very well known and capable grower
aroused great interest among the
French visitors, and was indeed in
every sense of the word an object
lesson.

Gladiolus Gandavensis Hybrids

Many florists plant these in boxes, or among

Washington and Balt'more Ladies.

Mrs. George H. Cooko last week en-
tertained a delegation of the Ladies'
Auxiliary of Baltimore. The latter
were met at the railroad station by an
equal number of Washington ladies
and by them were escorted to the New
Ebbitt House, where a luncheon had
been prepared. Following this a sight-
g trip was taken. The matinee
was next on the program, upon the
-letion of which the ladies were
ready for dinner. The New Ebbitt
was again visited, and then a trip was
made to the Arcade where a bowling
contest between the Baltimore and
Washington teams took place. The
battle for supremacy was a spirited
one. but due to the fact that only
ladies were admitted to the alleys, the
outcome is unknown. Assisting Mrs.
Cooke was her daughter, Mis. Nudero-
manski, Mr? Elmer C. Mayberry, Mrs.
laffer and Mrs. Simonds.
The Baltimore guests were Mrs.

CLEMATIS MONTANA VAR. RU-
BENS.

The widely-distributed Clematis
montana is known as a very variable
plan). In the variety rubens, which
forms the subject of our cover page
illustration in this issue, we have un-
doubtedly not only the finest of all
the forms of C. montana, but really
the most strikingly beautiful of all
known clematises. It is hardier than
the type and distinct in every way.
The foliage is dark with an occasional
light gray band down the upper sur-
face of the leaf and reddish beneath.
The flowers are bright rose, borne in
clusters in the axils of the leaves on
the old wood. The color is unique in
the genus. This is one of the richest
of the gems discovered by E. H. Wil-
son in the mountains of China.

A striking ornamental stove plant;
foliage dark green and silvery white.
i d by Dreer.

Jamestown, N. Y. — Fire destroyed
the boiler house of the Lakeview Rose
Gardens, Lawrence Cotter, manager,
on November 8. The next two days
the greenhouses were without heat,
but as the weather was mild the ap-
paratus was repaired in time to save
the crop.

NEWS NOTES.

Augusta, Me. — The capital stock of
the Southern Nut Nursery Co. has been
reduced from $300,000 to $200,000.

Richmond, Cal. — A flower and nur-
sery business has been organized by
Adolph Winters to be known as the
Adolph Winters Co. He has discon-
tinued his business at Fourth street

hout, who recently purchased the
greenhouses of the Chicago Rose Co.,

Killarney, Richmond and some My
Maryland roses and standard varieties
of carnations. The Brides and 'Maids
now in the houses will be discarded
and two or three new roses put on
trial.

ST. LOUIS NOTES.

Grimm & Gorly had a flower show
last week, having bought all the plants
of the late flower show which at-
tracted a great many people to their
Washington avenue store.

Mrs. M. Fleshman will open the
flower store in the Planters' Hotel on
Monday, November 21. This is the
old stand of the Riessen Floral Co..
who used it as a branch store until
a few years ago.

The new stores opened in the West
End recently— H. Young & Son, San-
ders' Nursery and C. Young & Sons-
say that business has been good with
them since their opening. All make
attractive displays.

"Billy" Smith, who was badly hurt
by an automobile which ran into his
buggy recently, is out again and none
the worse from the smash-up, but the
week's confinement at home was not
to his liking as he missed seeing all
his friends during the flower show
week.

Secretary Beneke of the Florist Club
says that the officers of the club are at
work to make the last meeting in the
year. December 12th, an interesting
one and that the trustees have some-
thins: in store for the members that
will make the meeting an interesting
one with the usual good smoke during
the session.

The annual Chrysanthemum Show
of the Missouri Botanical Garden did
not take place as advertised. The
exhibition was all ready in a large
tent for the opening on Monday. No-
vember 13. when a big rain and wind
storm came along on Saturday night
which wrecked the tent and plants,
and the big drop in the weather well-
nigh froze all the plants. The man-

agement say that the entire 500 va-
rieties are a total loss. The public
were much disappointed in not being
able to view this annual free exhibi-
tion.

Edward Bowers of the local branch
of the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., is
receiving the congratulations of his
many friends. The cause of all the
happiness in this case is the young
lady who last week became the bride

greenhouses of the Gallaudet College.
Heretofore, Mr. Mangum had charge
also of the large farm connected with

Louisiana, Indiana and Missouri. Ar-
rangements have been made to have
seed samples tested for purity and for
germination. The department will
make not more than live tests for any
nil individual or organization in any
one month; this in order to give all a
chance of availing themselves of the
service.

Miss Marie Gude, daughter of Mr.
and .Mrs. Adolphus Gude, of Good Hope
Road, Anacostia, D. C, last week be-
came the bride of Mr. Charles Burton
DeShields of this city. The ceremony
was performed in the Nev York
\. nue Presbyterian Church, and the
florists of 'Washington turned out en
masse. The church was beautifully
dei orated with pink chrysanthemums,
smilax. palms, ferns and autumn
leaves. The balconies were covered
with smilax and twig ba ontain-

ing chrysanthemums. At the entrance
to every pew was a standard of white
chrysanthemums and autumn leaves
and the chancel was banked with these
and palms and ferns. Miss Esther
Gude, a sister of the bride, was one

of the bridesmaids; Adolphus, Jr., a
brother, one of the ushers; and little
Miss Louise Gude, a cousin of the
bride, proved a verv charming flower
girl. C. L. LINZ.

Henri Beaulieu of Woodhaven. X.
Y.. who is now in Paris, writes us
concerning the scarcity of seeds in
Europe. Under date of Nov. 11, he
writes that there had been no frost up
to that date and annuals were bloom-
ing profusely in the gardens. Seed
crops, however, he says, are demoral-
ized and prices fluctuate from day to
day. He expresses the hope that
American growers will in the near
future raise their own seeds.

Pea and Bean Percentages.

The growers of peas and beans are
sending out their final estimates of
deliveries on the 1911 crop. They cer-
tainly are most disappointing— not
only on peas, but beans; the latter
item has fallen down very greatly dur-
ing the past five or six weeks, heavy
damage having been done the crop by
too much and long continued rains in
the district where these beans are
grown. We understand that the bean
crop of New York state is in pretty
fair shape and that very fair deliveries
will be made by those who are growing
their beans there; but the percentage,
as compared to the total, is not very
large, consequently there appears to be
a strong tone to bean prices, and the
probabilities are that notwithstanding
considerable quantities carried from
last year, there will be an active de-
mand for all the desirable seed in the
country. Percentages on beans have
fallen from ^3 to 50 per cent below
what was thought probable in Sep-
tember; but while this is considerable
of a loss to the growers, it will not
prove an unmixed evil to the seeds-
men, who, as stated, are carrying in
most cases more or less beans from
last year.

Carrots, Mangels and Garden Beets.

Conditions affecting carrots are
worse than we feared until within
the last few weeks, as some of the
larger jobbers will not deliver any-
thing whatever on orders booked for
the different varieties of carrot seed
this year. About I condition

rules with reference to mangels, and
several of the more fancy varieties of
garden beets. It is rather surprising
to see the word "failure" opposite the
names of such a large number of
varieties. Never has the oldest seeds-
man in the business seen a season like
this. Let us hope none will see its
like again, although the great scarcity
of roots, raised this year, indicates
that seed of these varieties will be
very high and scarce in

has decided to sell a considerable
portion of their seed stock and accept
no contracts for the 1912 crop. In view
of our recent experience, we hesitate
to name the concern, for fear they
may experience a change of heart and
call us to account. However, we be-
lieve the information to be authentic
and it simply means the withdrawal
of a good many thousands of bushels
of high-grade seed stocks from an al-
ready insufficient supply. It will be
well to warn all interested parties not
to delay placing their orders for the
1912 crop, as the tardy ones are likely
to be left, as they were a year ago in
a few iustances, although the con-
ditions are much more serious this
year.

From such information as we can
get alter a pretty thorough investi-
gation ;t would seem that prices
should be a secondary consideration
with seedsmen. The main question is
to get your order booked with a re-
sponsible concern and this applies es-
pecially to peas and beans. Any price
named now will probably look low
next fall.

Strenuous Outlook for 1912.

Editor HORTICULTURE:

Dear Sir: — We have just received
advice from Rocky Ford, Colo., stat-
ing they had another severe snow
storm and the thermometer dropped
to 1C degrees below zero on the 11th
inst.

The most of our crops have been
harvested, but there are a few still
in the pits which were covered and
protected. We are afraid, however,
that the severe cold may affect the
germination of some of the cucumber
crops in that vicinity, also in the
vicinity of Ordway, and that it will
also affect the germinating vitality of
the late crops of watermelon in Kan-
sas and Oklahoma and the crops of
pumpkin and squash in Nebraska that
had not been seeded prior to the cold
weather and which may make con-
siderable difference in the percentages
of the deliveries for some of the va-
rieties of vine seeds. Yours truly,

CHICAGO NOTES.

The report of the Chicago Fire Com-
mission has indirectly broushi to light
the plans to tear down sum.' of the
down-town buildings in the earlj spring.
Among those named in the i
is the Atlas Block, the stronghold of
the wholesale Horists, qoI less than
ten having quarters there. The mat-
ter nun be tided over as II »;is two
years I cor-

ner, Randolph strei hash ave-

nue, has long been regarded as too
valuable for it six-story building and
the event cannot he far in tht future
at any rati'. An effort to bl

concerted action among aolesale

florists last spring, that should assure
them a suitable building that would
he a permanent home \. mpted,

but did not succeed.

One of the changes of the week is
that of the acceptance of a place in
the Chicago Flower Growers' Associa-
tion by Chas. Erne, one of the best
and most favorably known men in the
wholesale trade.

The salesmen for the E. H. Hunt Co.
are in and leave again at once for an-
other trip. They report business as
brisk and a good outlook for the holi-
day season.

Personal.

Edward Hauswirth, has entered the
employ of Harry Rowe.

Mrs. L. H. Winterson, who has been
very ill, has partially recovered and
been brought home from the hospital.

Miss Gertrude Wallace of the Chi-
cago Flower Growers' Association of-
fice force is recovering from a severe
illness.

Ira Zalinger, from California, has
come to Chicago to join' his brother,
Ben, in the florist business. So far
they are filling orders from the home
at 4922 Vincennes avenue, hut expect
to open a store in the near future.

Visitors: Among the florists who
have attended the flower shows in the
Middle West and stopped in Chicago
the past week are: John Breitmeyer,
son of Fred Breitmeyer, Mt. Clemens,
Mich.; Herman Klagge, Mt. Clemens,

Mich.; Chas. H. Totty, Madison, N. J.;
Win. Duckham, Madison, N. J.; R. Vin-
cent, Jr., Whitemarsh, Md.

Flower Market Reports

After four weeks in the
boston wilderness the Boston
(in Bower trade is still
unsettled and forlorn, although
Thanksgiving Day is only one week
away. The wholesale mans are crowd-
ed with stock, ami the local di auand is
so light that much material is held
over from day to day unsold. Chrys-
anthemums arc in as heavj supply as
they were last week. Roses are
abundant, but qua In., lias advanced,
and there is a disposition to stand for
higher prices. The novelties are hold-
ing their own and are really the sal-
vation of the rose market. Carnations
are in full supply and light demand.
Orchids are slow to move locally but
the shipping trade is helping them as
it also is the rose market. Violets are
one bright spot in the situation; they
are, like Johnnie Walker, "going
strong" this week. Paper white nar-
cissi are in quite plentifully, but for
what purpose nobody knows. Already
they are among the laggards and are
teaching their own lesson to the in-
discreet grower who imagines that the
earlier he can hustle them into bloom
the more famous he will be. But how
about his pocket book? There are
quite a few ca-llas In but with lilies so
abundant as they are the calla has to
be patient.

The past week began in
BUFFALO wintry style, and the
temperature fell forty
degrees, while on the Saturday pre-
vious, the ideal Indian Summer day.
the thermometer had read sixty-two.
The cold weather has caused stock to
shorten in supply, especially roses and
carnations, but chrysanthemums con-
tinued plentiful. There was a good
quantity of Bonnaffon, Maud Dean, Dr.
Enguehard and others. The choice
quality moved at satisfactory prices.
There were quite a number of bunches
and sprays, also pompons in varied
colors. Lilies, violets, lily of the val-
li y aud peas are plentiful, but Beauty
and Richmond roses are scarce. Smi-
lax and greens are in good supply and
Quite active. Considering the bad
weather last Saturday a fairly good
clean-up was made.

A marked shortage in
CHICAGO the supply of American
Beauty roses is a fea-
ture of the market conditions at this
time. Fancy stock has been billed out
as high as $6.00 per dozen during the
past week and the shortage prevails
down to the lowest grades caused by
all the growers in this vicinity having
their stock off crop at the same time.
Chrysanthemums are shortening in
supply, especially in fancy white. It
has been an unusual in several

respects and the chrysanthemum crop
has varied accordingly, some of the
largest growers being practically
through cutting now. Violets, both
home-grown and from the East have
met with fair sales since the colder
weather, and lily of the valley has
brought a higher price for fancy than
is often quoted. A limited supply of
paper white narcissi is in to give va-
riety to stock, and rather more lilies
than needed to supply the demand are
now on the counters. Carnations of
large size and long stems fill all the
florists' wants In that direction, while
sweet peas are each week becoming
more in evidence. Daisies are to be
had and are usually on short stems.

We don't need to explain to him the advantage of a Central Florists' Plant Supply
House in these busy days, when selected flowering- and foliage stock is assembled for
inspection and selection, saving time and expense of railroad trips to visit widely sepa-
rated growers. That's where we win. Packing and shipping facilities unsurpassed. Of
blooming plants we have for this week Cyclamen of best quality ever seen for Thanks-
giving ; Ericas; Lorraine Begonias; Camellias. In foliage plants All Palms, etc.;
Ivies and Holly Ferns ; Table Ferns ; Aspidistras ; Phoenix Roebeleni (elegant little

this line are selling quickly. Lilies
move quickly but at only fair prices.
Violets, both doubles and singles are
good property. Callas have begun to
arrive and before long will prove a
very welcome addition to the stock on
hand. The market in lily of the val-
ley and orchids is easy. New bronze
galax are now on hand.

A heavy supply of all
DETROIT grades of flowers made

it comparatively easy
for retailers to supply their demand.
These latter patronized well enough to
keep the supply on a safe level, and
have made firm prices possible. The
football game at Ann Arbor demanded
everything in large yellow chrysanthe-
mums in sight. Besides this, young
women of the Ann Arbor Y. \V. C. A.
sold from large boxes standing on the
sidewalks which were apparently
shipped from Chicago.

Since our last week-
NEW YORK ly report there has
been a very fluctua-
ting and generally disappointing mar-
ket. Foot ball games and horse shows
had been looked forward to as favor-
ing a spirited demand on certain
flowers and justifying a better schedule
of wholesale prices and a confident Up-
ward movement was generated which
at first seemed to present a hopeful
outlook but it sagged in the middle
and now with a spell of bright sun-
shine the augmented product is doing
its share towards the decline. Ameri-
can Beauty specials climbed to the
fifty-cent level for a few days, but
have now receded, under the pressure
of a freer supply, to forty cents as a
maximum. Violets were distinctly
disappointing. In a very small per-
centage of high-grade flowers they

five cents was the prevailing maxi-
mum, and the demand falling away
below the supply, the street fakirs'
services were accepted, with the usual
resurt when the combination of violet
surplus and street fakirs is presented.
All other roses have settled back,
more or less, in sympathy. Chrys-
anthemums vary greatly in results.
some bright spots being noted here
and there, but the general tone is very
draggy. Lilies are again overstocked.
Orchids are seen in increasing variety
as the season advances, white phalaen-
opses, Dendrobium formosum and sim-
ilar things meeting with a fair sale,
while cattleyas run all the way from
twenty-five to sixty according to size
and finish, with an occasional seventy-
five cent maximum on something par-
ticularly fine. Gardenias are considered
low at present selling figures. Carna-
tions are waiting for the chrysanthe-
mums to make their adieu before they
make much adoo for themselves.

A typical week.
PHILADELPHIA Things going

along on an
even keel — very much as they have
done in previous years at same time.

Of course the standard as to quality
is higher. The lad with twenty-five or
fifty thousand feet of glass finds it
harder and harder to make ends meet
in competition with fellows who can
work economies with half a million, a
million, or two million feet. How the
little fellows can work out and show a
profit goodness only knows. We are
very much afraid they don't, and we
are very sorry for it. When James
Watt invented the steam engine he
had no idea that the same would
in short order bring the world's na-
tions closer together — as it has done.
When Benjamin Franklin flew his kite
in Philadelphia in front of Dooner's
Hotel he had no idea that he was
going to make a "World Republic."
Yet he and James Watt have about
done that. The demand last week was

Frank P. Baum.

It was with sad regret we learned
of the death of our brother florist.
Frank P. Baum, of Buffalo, N. Y., who
died suddenly while on a business trip
to Salamanca, N. Y.. aged fifty-seven
years. Mr. Baum was born in Looney-
ville, N. Y., and came to Buffalo forty
years ago, where he has been engaged
in the florist business for twenty-five
years conducting a retail stand at the
Washington Market, and having eight
thousand feet of glass at 50 Kingsley
street, where a good portion of the
plants and cut flowers are grown for
the retail and wholesale market. Mr.
Baum was well known to the trade,
and had a large circle of friends and
business associates, also being a mem-
ber of several fraternal organizations.
He leaves a widow, Mrs. Elizabeth,
also a son, Frank, and daughter, Mrs.
B. E. Slee.

The country has lost a sincere lover
of our profession, and an enthusiast
in his chosen field. Our heartfelt sym-
pathy goes out to his bereaved widow
and children in this'hour of their sor-
row. Words are of little aid in these
davs, but to the fatherless and widow,
it mav be a ray of pleasure to be as-
sured that through the length and
breadth of this adopted country, the
name of Frank P. Baum commanded
only respect and affection. E. C. B.

the Society of Friends — that sturdy
stock that did so much in early days
to put the destinies of Pennsylvania
mi a sound footing. To this day — not-
withstanding the immense influx of
strange peoples — the Quaker influence
is fundamental and far-reaching, not-
withstanding the fact that they have
been buried millions deep in numbers
by succeeding waves; which shows
clearly that quality, and not quantity,
is what counts, after all. William H.
Moon belonged to the quality stock,
and was a powerful influence for the
higher ideals of life and conduct — an
example to the pushing trampling mul-
titude, and a staunch upholder of right
and truth against all odds.

Flower Market Reports

(CentimH-tl from pnge ~ I O

mostly on Beauties, orchids, violets
ami iily of the valley. All these
staphs cleaned up well. Of course
the chrysanthemum held the center of

the stage. It was a pretty good week,
all things considered. In view of the
centrifugal tendencies of the times a
la rames Wait and B. Franklin— we
would suggest a close study of Adam
Smith, John Stuart Mill, Ricardeau
and the British budget of 1910. By
so doing those with small places will
Find (|iit just how those with big places
have such a bulge on them, and how
they can so arrange it that the little
fellow will get his share according to
his deserving. Those well-posted think
thai the Army and Navy game here
en the L'.'ith will cause a big demand
for blue and yellow, Which means —
Bonnaffon and Violets. They are all
hedging accordingly. Other things
will go also. Good luck to all of you.

' 'l he market was over-

ST. LOUIS stocked all during the
last week. There was
so much stock in that it was impos-
sible to dispose of one half of it and
a great many carnations, roses and
small chrysanthemums were dumped.
Chrysanthemums have seen their best
days but there are still many coming
in of the fancy varieties — some fine
Chadwick, Golden Wedding and Eaton.
The fancy stock in these sold clean up.
Large fancy Bonnaffons sell better
than any just now. Violets have been
very scarce as predicted early in the
season and the few that come in now
have advance orders. Roses are more
plentiful than ever and the sale on
them is not strong. Lily of the valley
and lilies sold well all week but not
clean up.

The Pure Food
WASHINGTON Show which termi-
nated on Saturday
night last called for the supply of quite
a large quantity of chrysanthemums
and roses, Richmonds being most in de-
mand. This with the Saturday football
games which made the sale of yellow
and white chrysanthemums heavy, and
the large number of weddings, caused
quite a little flurry in the local mar-
ket. There is a large quantity of
chrysanthemums coming in and due to
this they move well only at moderate
figures. Carnations are very good, and
this holds true also with the Hudson
River violets. Both are moving well.
There is, however, quite a quantity of
poorer stock (carnations). Lily of the
valley, thanks to the weddings, is
going pretty good, and the same is
true with smilax. adiantum and as-
paragus. Sweet peas have greatly im-
proved in quality and are having a
ready sale. Roses better and in good
demand. Cattleya not up to the stan-
dard lately. There is plenty of small
stuff to be had but the best is lacking
in quantity. Lilies are moving but
fairly well. It is expected that the
days preceding Thanksgiving Day will
bring forth large sales of cut flowers,
especially chrysanthemums for the
decoration of window displays. This
latter is due to the many editorials in
other trades papers showing the value
of flowers when used to set off various
kinds of merchandise. High class
jewelry stores and optical establish-
ments will prove among the larger
consumers.

LET *J S supply your wants in L_ilies this season

We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but Is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii In Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.60 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lota, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepis Bostoniensia and Piersoni, 6-in. pots $0.60 each

Nephrolepis Elegantissima, Piersoni, Bostoniensis, and Harrisii, heavy 8-ln. plants $1.00 to 1.60 each

CARNATION "WODENETHE"

A Carnation by any other name "might smell as sweet," but it is
a fact that very few of them do. The f ra grance of ' 'WODENETHE, ' '
is delightful. It has eveiy other desirable quality also, size, perfect
form, purity in color and the calyx positively does not split.

Come and see it growing; then you will also see

ONE of the finest, freest blooming Carnations I have ever handled
and a "bread and butter Carnation" in every sense of the word.

good news the Society of American Florists, which

appears on another page of this issue,

should be very welcome news to the flower shipping

trade and, this being Thanksgiving week, thankful

emotions are surely in order. It is nice to contemplate

the fact that this, as Mr. Esler states, has been a victory

of peace. We sincerely hope it may be as permanent and

far-reaching as it is encouraging.

Our New England reader? should not
instruction overlook the notes in this issue on what
on right lines the Massachusetts Agricultural College,
through its Department of Floriculture.

is planning to do for the floral interests. Prof. E. A.
White who has charge of this work has given good as-
surance in the pas! of bis sincerity and wisdom and his
practical policy in the line of horticultural work will go
a long way towards eliminating the prejudice heretofore

harbored by man) as to the vali E the education

acquired in the State Colleges Prof, \\ hue bas -
his co-workers from the successful men who have ai
plished things not by theory bu1 by hard labor and ap-
plication. We bespeak for his effort the approval and
cordial support of the floricultural interests of New
England.

The Garden for Nov. 4, illustrates a new
Aster aster under this name which is described
Amethyst as follow- :

"A deep-colored seedling from the now
well-known highly popular A. Climax. It is of somewhat
dwarfer habit than thai variety, with large deep blue col-
ored flower-heads."

li mighl be well for the hardy aster specialists to look
into the nomenclature a little. We know that quite a
number of years ago the Ian (h .n-v llollis of So. Wey-
mouth, Mass., who raised a great number of very fine
aster seedlings, exhibited one before the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society under the name of Amethyst. It
was a large handsome flower of the Novae Angliae type
and well-named as to color which was true amethyst.
It is very probable that this plant is well-distributed
among New England gardens under the name given it by
Mr. Hollis. Some botanical works mention an obscure
species, A. amethystinus, as being found in eastern
Massachusetts. The hardy asters are rapidly gaining in
appreciation and popularity. It is to be regretted that
the botanists have the species so badly mixed and the
duplication of varietal names will further add to the
confusion.

Every retail seedsman will probably
Time to agree with us that a better harmony and

get together mutual understanding is something
greatly to be desired among the retail
seed trade. Prices on many things have been so much
at variance that the man quoting the higher figures has
been accused of overcharging and the one who happened
to be the lowest has had to face the suspicion that he
was earning inferior stock. The conditions which
have been in part responsible for this unprofitable con-
fusion have, for the time being, been to a considerable
extent eliminated. In other words, Nature, in imposing
a period of famine, has done for the seed trade what it
has been unable to do for itself and the situation now
existing is far from being an unqualified calamity if the
trade will only take advantage of the opportunity to
agree upon some general basis for establishing fair
living prices henceforth and eliminating cut-throat
policies. We know of an instance where one prominent
house has gone so far as to submit to a rival house por-
tions of their vegetable seed catalogue proofs and if the
spirit tints shown could be more generally cultivated we
believe the trade would benefit, while the public would
not suffer in the least. We do not suggest a trust or
any arbitrary- compacts but merely the promotion of a
better understanding and agreement as to the basis of
values. The seedsman is at the disadvantage of having
almost his entire year's business crowded into a few
weeks and where other industries can turn their money
over and over again in the course of a year he must be
content with doing it but once. A retail seed trade
organization, patterned possibly on the lines of the
Wholesale Seedsmen's League, would be a wise move in
the present crisis.

water, after being in the bouse a week or two, will help
to sweeten the soil ami also drive out any worms which
may have found thi uto the pot while the plant

was growing. Syringe the plants over twice daily in
all favorable weather.

MELONS

To have ripe melons through April sow the seeds at
once using well drained three-inch pots, placing a single
seed in each. These will be ready for planting out
before Christmas and with the season advancing with
them, will soon develop into strong plants. The first
three months of the year are the worst for finishing
melons off. They can be grown the whole year round,
but are a very expensive luxury in these three months;
the percentage of "finished" fruits will be at its lowest.
From now on, however, -uccess can be assured and
sowings can be made jular intervals Hero of

rieties are in the house.

VEGETABLES

Continue to sow more beans as the older ones wear
out. The old soil should be replenished with a dr< ssing
of manure or replaced with new. The advantage of sow-
ing the quickest maturing varieties will now be very
forcibly demonstrated. Black Valentine is second to
none in this respect and is always a good cropper.
Spinach will grow very slowly from now on. Only the
large leaves should be gathered. New Zealand variety
will be found the greatest yielder and quickest grower.
Cultivate the soil between the rows at regular intervals.
A little stimulant in the form of liquid cow manure
will help them. Parsley, too, will be similar to spin-
ach. Work in a sprinkling of wood ashes when culti-
vating.

ROBERT CRAIG'S REMINISCENCES

We take pleasure in presenting here-
with a few interesting extracts from
the talk given by Robert Craig, Phil-
adelphia, at the Michel] Saturday lec-
ture on November 25. In connection
with this lecture there was an ex-
hibit ot the new scarlet carnation St.
Nicholas.

The subject of my talk this after-
noon is "Progress in Floriculture."
This subject I did not select myself
and, as I have not had time to collect
statistics and facts covering any wide
territory, I think if I relate some of
the facts that have come under my
own observation the past half century,
it may prove to be of some interest to
my hearers, particularly to the
younger ones.

At that time, that is, about fifty
years ago, there were only about a
dozen firms in Philadelphia, the prin-
cipal ones were Dryburgh, Sherwood,
Dick, Buist, MacKenzie, Ritchie, Fer-
guson, Karl Muller and Robert Scott.
It was interesting to hear John Dick
tell of his early struggles to establish
himself in business. He was, as a
young man, a private gardener, in
charge of the greenhouses of Dr. Pep-
per on Arch St., near Tenth, and
had saved a little money which he in-
vested, in partnership with Jas.
Ritchie, at Third & Berks Sts., under
the firm name of Ritchie & Dick. In
about two years the firm dissolved,
Ritchie retaining the old place and
Dick locating at 52nd St. and Dar-
by Road. Some of his friends tried to
dissuade him from starting, using the
argument that Dryburgh and Sher-
wood who had already embarked in
business, could supply all the de-
mands and that there really was no
chance for another, but he succeeded.

As early as I can recollect anything
in connection with the business,
there were always timid souls, in-
clined to take a pessimistic view of
the future.

I was quite early in life engaged
practically in the business, working
in the greenhouses and grounds for
my father who had a small place on
Irish Track Lane below Federal St.
Irish Track Lane started at Broad
and South Sts. and ran diagonally to
about 19th St. and Back Road in
that section of the city known as the
Neck; it terminated at about what is
Snyder Ave. today; it was a track or
wagon road cut through the woods by
the Irish Societies in Revolutionary
times and has now entirely disap-
peared. West Philadelphia at that
time was also undeveloped and was
very sparsely populated.

It is interesting to recall the char-
actor of the greenhouse structure of
this time: it was very crude and
cheap, the houses glazed mostly with
6x8 glass, and heated by very chaaj
furnaces connected with brick and
terra cotta flues, with the result that
the houses were too hot at the end
nearest the furnaces and liable to
freeze on cold nights at the end near-
est the chimney. At this time, and
for many years after, the work of
the plant grower had to do mostly
with plants used for bedding out In

for home adornment in winter and
porch decoration in summer was not
known, and the preparation of fine
blooming plants for Easter and Christ-
mas had scarcely made a beginning.
These two seasons are now the most
profitable to the plant grower and to
the retailer, and much of the work of
the year is done with these two pe-
riods in view. Then the plants were
sold in the market houses and quite a
market was established on Market
street pavement on the site of the
present public building.

In the branch devoted to the pro-
duction of palms, ferns and market
decorative foliage plants. I will cite
only a few facts which help to illu-
minate and illustrate the advances in
this direction. A half a century ago
the only plant of Pandanus Veitchii in
this country was in possession of Rob-
i rt Buist. It had been imported from
London and was sold to the United
States Botanic Garden at Washington
for $25. Now this plant is grown in
the vicinity of Philadelphia alone by
the hundred thousand annually, and
a good plant in a 4-inch pot can be
bought for 50 cents. Many other
plants, then scarce and high-priced,
are grown in as large proportion. The
same increase in quantity grown and
the same tendency to popular prices
is noticeable in the palm family and in
the fern family. Kentias, for instance,
then very rare, are grown now by the
acre and the production of other palms
and other foliage plants has increased
a hundred fold. The increase in the
quantity of ferns grown is even more
remarkable. No florist fifty years ago
had more than 100 or 200 ferns on
hand at any one time and these most-
ly small specimens in three or four-
inch pots; the whole city could hardly
supply 500 little and big. Now they
are grown by the million in the vi-
cinity of Philadelphia alone and well
grown too. As a matter of fact one
firm, which, although its greenhouses
are located on the Jersey side of the
Delaware. I call a Philadelphia firm
because its principal office is in this
city, grows ferns literally by the mil-
lion. It is safe to say that, taking all '
the departments of this one firm into
consideration, — the greenhouse, herba-
ceous, vegetable plant and aquatic sec-
tions— the output has increased a
thousand fold and the quality of the
plants produced almost incomparably
better. Many other firms have also
made great advances.

In the line of cut flowers, especially
in winter, the advance is even more
marvellous than is the increase in the
plant business. Take for instance
carnations which are now grown in
winter in this country finer than any-
where else in the world and in great-
er quantities. Visitors from England
and Germany, which nations were em-
barked in carnation culture cent u lies
before Americans, are lost in admira-
tion when they see our wonderful car-
nations. Forty years ago we had only
half a dozen inferior varieties; De-
graw (white) and LaPurite (pink)
were the two best and the methods of
culture were just as inferior as the va-

spring; the great business which now rieties. They were planted outdoors
exists in producing and selling plants just as we do now but they were not

brought into the houses until October
and sometimes not even until Novem-
ber; they were put into houses not at
all adapted for producing cut flowers
in winter even if they had been other-
wise correctly treated. The houses
were glazed mostly with 6x8 glass and
were built with too much wood work,
making them dark and damp; they
were badly heated, too, with the re-
sult that few flowers were had before
spring and those of so inferior a char-
acter that they would be absolutely
without money value today. They
were cut without stems and sent to the
retailer in all colors mixed. The
brightest imagination of those days
could not conceive of the fine blooms
that are produced so freely today. The
advanced growers of carnations in
England and Germany today look to us
continually for new varieties; the de-
mand there is steady and increasing
for all new varieties that are sent out
by introducers of established reputa-
tion, of whom we have several in this
country who are making the improve-
ment of the winter-flowering carna-
tion largely their life work.

In roses, too, especially for cut flow-
ers in winter, the advance in produc-
tion, both in quantity and quality has
been most astonishing. I can recall
the time when there were only two
houses in Philadelphia, and these
small and poorly constructed, devoted
to the culture of roses for cut flowers
in winter; precious few they got be-
fore March and April, the houses be-
ing too dark to produce flowers in
winter. One of these houses was on
Andrew Dryburgh's place at 19th and
Race streets and the other at Robert
Buist's, 67th street and Elmwood ave-
nue. In Dryburgh's house was a num-
ber of old varieties; La Pactole I re-
call as being prominent. In Buist's
house were Bon Silene, Safrano, La
Pactole and Duchess de Brabant;
none of the flowers produced in either
houses would have any market value
today. It is hard to realize that these
are the facts when we consider the im-
mense quantities now grown, the num-
ber and fine character of the houses
built for their culture, the almost per-
fect nature of the heating apparatus
and the large capital invested in this
branch of Floriculture. Truly, rose
growing has increased more than a
thousand fold in the past half century.
When we look back at the cheap and
unsuitable structure used so short a
time ago and then contemplate such
rose houses as have recently been
erected by modern growers and the
fine quality of the stock produced
therein, we cannot adequately express
our astonishment. Contrary to many
preconceived notions these large
houses seem to be comparatively eas-
ily heated, and to produce under good
management extra fine flowers. I look
upon these very large wide houses as
one of the miracles of these latter
days. There are many of them now
in various parts of the country, and
their number is constantly increasing.

In thinking over how scarce roses
were forty years ago, I recall a trip
made by Thos. Cartledge and John
Westcott to New York in search of
roses for the Assembly Ball; they
were well posted and knew where to

Mrs. A. M. Henshaw. a snow white flower, gracefully
Incurved petals. A rather tall grower but should hold its
own with any other white on the exhibition tables. A
promising variety, named after one of New York's popular
wholesale florists.

This is another of Mr. Totty's 1912 pets. In writing
about it he says: "There is nothing small about the orig-
inal owner of the name and I thought it only in keeping
to name a big 'mum' after him." This is a crimson with
bronze reverse and will make a flower as large as the re-
doubtable Woodmason, with the color infinitely better.

C. H. Totty says of Mrs. Gilbert Drabble, "My best introduction for 1912"; so surely it is well worthy of the Cover
Position in HORTICULTURE. It is described as a splendid flower of the purest possible white; the petals arranged in
a whorled form different in type from any white we have. The foliage is right up to the flower and the stem "stiff as
an iron rod." Our readers will make no mistake in buying these three novelties.

go but returned with only twenty-nine
roses after being absent for two days.
In the retail business the same crude-
ness existed. I recollect when there
were no retail flower shops on the
ground floor in Philadelphia; Hanft
Bros, had a basement on Chestnut
street between Broad and 13th streets,
and James Ritchie had a cellar on the
northwest corner of Eighth and San-
som streets. The first shop on the
level of the street was open in a one-
story structure on 12th street below
Market by Pennock Bros.

Orchids were scarcely known com-
mercially; now they are grown by the
hundred thousand for the Philadelphia
market, some men making their cul-
ture a specialty to the exclusion of all
other lines of work. Instead of a few
plants being imported occasionally
from Europe by amateurs there is a
steady annual supply coming in from
South America and other countries
which are the native habitat of these
gorgeous and elegant flowers.

The growth of the wholesale com-
mission business in Philadelphia also
shows in a marked way the increase in
the business; the immense warehouses

needed to hold the stock coming in
daily, at times literally in car loads,
is certainly impressive. The question
arises how is a market now found for
the great quantity now produced. One
answer is that the prices have become
so low that people in moderate cir-
cumstances can now afford to indulge
in what was at one time an extrav-
agant and almost impossible luxury;
and it is a fact that a large supply
often creates a large demand. This
fact was well illustrated by Peter Barr,
the great specialist in narcissus, who
visited Philadelphia a few years ago.
He said that in the early history of
his business when his stock consisted
only of a few hundred he sold them by
the dozen, but as his business grew
and he finally planted fifty thousand
rare bulbs on the banks bordering his
place he received several orders from
wealthy patrons for fifty thousand
just such bulbs; the supply created
the demand.

There will be many times, no doubt,
when there will be "gluts" in the mar-
ket and the business temporarily un-
profitable as is always the case when
there is an over-supply of perishable

merchandise. As a matter of fact, the
business never has been one of large
profits and probably never will be.
Men do not rapidly become million-
aires in the florist business as they
may do in the wine and liquor and
tobacco business. E. G. Hill, who is
well-known to most of you told me of
his attending a banquet of wine grow-
ers and merchants in France. More
than fifty sat down to the table and
each one was worth more than a mil-
lion dollars; no one has ever heard of
a florists' banquet of which the par-
ticipants were so financially situated.
If flowers should ever become as pop-
ular and as eagerly sought after as to-
bacco then we might all grow rapidly
rich. But we have our compensations,
if we cannot make money fast we
know our products tend to the eleva-
tion, refinement and happiness of man-
kind.

Mount Sterling, Ky. — Graser & Hum-
phreys have given up the greenhouses
t." West Main street to John Corbett,
from whom they leased them. Mr.
Corbett has remodeled the place and
will conduct a general florist's busi-
ness.

HORTICULTUKE

December 2, 1911

PARIS AUTUMN SHOW

This great annual show was held
November 3rd. to 12th, at the Cours-
la-Reiiu as usual in a huge temporary
building constructed for the purpose.
The site is a superb one close to the
Champs Elysees, along side the Seine,
in an open position easy of access and
consequently the visitors are legion.
The first Sunday afternoon, if fine is
a sight, for 30,000 to 35.000 well-
dressed, genteel people are (rammed
into the show and locomotion be-
comes a difficult matter. Once with-
in the charmed circle the visitor
finds himself treading his way along
an immense promenade consisting of
several parallel paths and along them
are the usual exhibits of trained fruit
trees, the pride of the French gar-
dener. There are also at intervals
nice ornamental hardy shrubs, coni-
fers, etc., in great variety from many
of the leading nurserymen of France.
In and around this promenade and the
show building are the Horticultural In-
dustries, an enormous display, quite a
show of itself; greenhouses, summer-
houses, frames, garden pottery, statues,
vases, fencing, boilers, pumps, garden-
tools and accessories, apparatus, etc.

The great feature of the Autumn
Show is the fruit. Apples, pears and
grapes are staged in vast quantities
and the individual exhibits are of
enormous extent — far surpassing any-
thing we see elsewhere. The taste dis-
played by these French fruit exhibi-
tors is essentially their own and the
fruit looks all the better for the dainty
arrangements mostly adopted. Many
exhibits are in splendid glass cases:
some are in pretty baskets tied up
with colored ribbons and the pears es-
pecially are superb. Passing into the
great show hall, as we may call it. the
visitor goes under a pergola formed of
vine branches. Right and left are fes-
tons of vine foliage and under these
a series of glass cases containing an
immense variety of grapes of all kinds
and shapes. In fact nearly all the ex-
hibitors adopted the glass case method
of staging, in most instances in very
attractive style. One exhibitor alone
had a 60 ft. run of handsome glass
cases containing a choice assortment
of handsome grapes, peaches and
pears.

Flowers other than chrysanthemums
were freely shown. Almost the first
exhibit on entering the show was that
by M. Geo. Boucher who put up a
group of Clematis. We noted: Xerxes,
Ville de Paris, Venosa, Mine. Grange,
Gypsy Queen, Mme. Van Houtte, Ville
de Lyon, M. Hope and others among
the most attractive. There were many
dahlia exhibitors, but by far the most
important lot was that from Messes
Cayeuxand Leclere. Two large double-
faced sloping banks of cactus and dec-
orative dahlias in pyramids was an ef-
fective group.

Carnations came from several exhib-
itors; Messrs. Stuart Low & Co. had
a neat little collection staged in good
form.

In M. Nonin's big display we noted
carnations on one flank. Tuberous be-
gonias, brilliantly displayed on sloping

banks halfway across the show, the
colors divided in "vandyked" divisions
were well shown in accordance with
the invariable practice by the two
leading exhibitors Messrs Vallerand
and Billard.

.Many other flower exhibits were
staged. We noticed a pretty lot of lilies
in iin Leon Fouteneau. The Maison
Ferard put up a little square bed of
cyclamen. There was a nice collection
of Hydrangea Hortensis from M. Aug.
Nonin; he had varieties Radiant,
Vieux Chateau, Mme. Emill Mouillere,
Bouquet Rose, etc.. in fine heads ot
bloom.

The chrysanthemum classes were
well filled and in the plant section
some good entries were made. Vil-
morin Andrieux & Co., staged a huge
collection of handsomely trained plants
in all forms. This was by far the
most imposing lot of pot plants in the
show and made a grand effect. Aug.
Nonin's novelties were numerous,
several being certificated. The exhibi-
tors in this section were very numer-
ous, including names of world-wide re-
pute but space forbids these details.

The best cut-bloom exhibit was
sent by an Englishman, Thomas Stev-
enson who put up a lovely exhibit of
the finest show sorts. He carried off
important prizes in all the classes en-
tered, Paul Labbe had some nice
blooms of choice varieties and staged
in French style. Other cut blooms
were sent by Ch. Gervais, Louis Le-
clere and Henri Crepin, the latter put-
ting bis flowers up in good style and en-
livened with Salvia splendens, palms,
musa and an edging of achyranthes.
The Crepin Challenge Cup value 1000
francs was won by Zimmerman & Sons
with a neat little lot of cut blooms.
Paul Feron, Morin and Merigen were
among others who had noteworthy
collections in this section.

The side room allotted to stove
plants and orchids did not contain a
very large display. Edward V. Low
of Vale Bridge, Haywards Heath,
showed a collection of Cypripediums.

Messrs. Maron et fils showed in
their group: Cattleya Sigurd, Laelio-
Cattleya Bright Star, Cattleya Fabia
Alba.

Floral art was well sustained. Geo.
Truffaut staged vases of roses on a
turf lawn in the most effective style,
Ed. Debrie, a well known Parisian
florist, bad some good designs in many
examples. The Lachaume firm also
sent traditional exhibits. H. Pillon sent
a basket of white lilac and arranged
a little bamboo arbor, decorated with
plants of chrysanthemums.

Only those who know the Paris
Autumn Show can form an idea of the
way in which vegetables are staged
there and the immense variety of the
kinds produced. Vilmorin Andrieux &
Co., took the premier place. They had
an enormous border 60 ft. long by 7 ft.
in width containing a grand display of
everything in season. The establish-
ment "A la Pensee," also staged a
long border of excellent vegetables with
the addition of cactus dahlias. A
large group of vegetables and salad-
ings was sent by the Ecole d' Horti-

culture St. Nicolas. M. Compoint, in
a glass case 35 ft. in length, demon-
strated the art of Asparagus culture —
quite an instructive object lesson.

Horticultural literature had a sec-
tion devoted to it as also did the fine
arts. A picture gallery was attached
to the show in which were exhibited
many interesting works of art in oil
and water colors.

As soon as the prizes had been
awarded — and here we may observe
they consist of grand prizes of honor
given by the president, M. Fallieres,
by the minister of agriculture, of pub-
lic instruction and other donors,
guests and jury are trooped off to the
Restaurant Ledoyen in the Champs
Elysees. Our American friends who
know Paris will understand what it
means to lunch chez Ledoyen. It is a
feast fit for epicures, let alone a set
of hungry jurymen. M. Viger pre-
sided, surrounded by the officers of the
society and some of the notables of
Paris. Among the horticulturists we
noticed Abel Chatenay. Albert Truf-
faut, George Truffaut, Philippe de Vil-
morin, Jules Vacherot, H. Martinet,
Lucien Chaure, Ch. Arranger, B'.ot, D.
Bois, Gibault, Crepin, but there — we
must stop. Two hundred guests filled
the dining saloon and if we omit some
there can be no wonder.

At length the champagne arrives
and speeches begin. M. Chatenay
reads out a list of the premier awards
of which the following are the most
important: First grand prize of
honor to Nomblot-Bruneau for his
fruit and fruit trees; second grand
prize of honor to M. Pinon for trained
plants of chrysanthemums; other
prizes of honor to Coedonnier & Sons
for grapes, Salomon & Sons for grapes,
Debrie for floral decoration, Calvat for
new seedling chrysanthemums, and so
on. Complimentary speeches were
made by the representative of the min-
ister of agriculture, by the president of
the Paris municipal council, by M. Vi-
ger, by M. Deloncle, Deputy for the
Seine, by M. Lepine chief of the po-
lice, and by Harman Payne for the
visitors.

Bennie Schneider, of H. Robinson &
Co., lost his wife by death on Monday,
Nov. 26.

H. M. Robinson & Co. have built a
display case in the Co-operative
Flower Market.

J. A. Pettigrew has gone on a two
weeks' recreation trip, one week of
which has been spent in a visit to
his son, Dr. Pettigrew, in Youngstown,
Ohio.

Hartford & McDonough, 70 Pember-
ton Sq., have quite a force making up
greens for Christmas trade. This
new firm reports business very satis-
factory.

A new crimson chrysanthemum,
Harvard, from E. D. Smith & Co.,
more of a Harvard color than Shrimp-
ton, was before the Boston committee
of the Chrysanthemum Society of
America Nov. 18.

The Beacon Florist, 2 Beacon St.,
has moved to 7 Beacon St. into
Houghton & Dutton's store. Their
display refrigerator stands directly in
front of one of the entrances. Better
light and more trade in the new loca-
tion, it is said.

Notice the advertisement by Thom-

improved Jerusalem Cherry, Solanum
Capsicastrum Melvini. In this novel-
ty the fruit is not hidden by the
leaves but stands erect away from the
foliage and crowded towards the tips
of the branches. It makes an ideal
holiday plant.

The florists' supply department of
Welch Bros, has just undergone a
thorough renovating and is an exposi-
tion in itself of what is newest and
best in a practical way for the regu-
lar stock in hand of the up-to-date
florist. It occupies the entire base-
ment floor of the building at 226
Devonshire street, is brilliantly light-

nothing worth having that one can-
not find there in the line of florists'
requisites.

PERSONAL.

William Wickham has charge of the
Oakwood cemetery, Adrian, Mich.

R. Glendenning, writing in The Gar-
deners' Chronicle, says that Opuntia
Missouriensis should succeed in Brit-
ain if covered with a sheet of glass in
the winter, "as it is sometimes sub-
jected to a few degrees of frost grow-
ing wild." Opuntia Missouriensis is
hardy as far north as Massachusetts
where zero temperatures and some-
times even lower occur.

Vernon A. Sherwood has resumed
his position at the greenhouses of Mrs.
J. L. Gardner, Brookline, Mass.

Augustus Zirngiebel, formerly of
Needham, Mass., is now in the employ
of W. A. Manda, as traveling salesman.

Henry I. Tucker, formerly of Hop-
kinsville, Ky., is now in charge of the
sales department of the Pleasant View

CHICAGO NOTES.

The D. D. Johnson Co. expect to
have matters in shape so that an an-
nouncement may be made by the New
Year and the Evergreen Brand Fertil-
izer will be manufactured in larger
quantities than ever before.

Poehlmann Bros, are about to move
from the corner of Wabash avenue
and Randolph street, to 72 E. Ran-
dolph street, second floor, where they
will have three times their present
floor space.

John Kidwell, president of The
Chicago Flower Growers' Association,
is very optimistic on the outlook for
the winter. He says business at the
new place is fully up to what he had
anticipated.

The E. H. Hunt Co. has made ar-
rangements for the exclusive hand-
ling of the baskets and novelties of
one of the largest manufacturers in
Germany. They will have a full line
of samples here by January 1st.

Jas. G. Hancock, who presides over
the office for Frank Oechslin, is serv-
ing as juror this week. A trip to the
Oechslin greenhouses always pays,
but especially now while the holiday
stock of plants is daily getting to
be in that state of perfection rarely
equalled by any other grower. Mr.
Oechslin grows plants only and his is
Chicago's show place in that line.

BALTIMORE NOTES.

Geo. F. Lurssen has opened a
branch floral store on Baltimore
street.

John Cook, Baltimore's great rose
grower, will soon go to Miami, Florida,
where he usually spends his winters.

Indications point to the greatest
horticultural show the state has ever
had, next week. All available space
in the big Armory has been taken.

Capt. Emerson, proprietor of Balti-
more's greatest hotel, just opened,
has purchased "Brooklandwood," a
large estate in Green Spring valley.
Chas. L. Seybold, formerly superin-
tendent of Carroll Park, is engaged
to do some landscape work on the
place, and has already commenced.
Immense green houses will be erected
where raising vegetables in winter will
be one of the specialties. Palms and
other decorative plants will also have
especial attention.

ST. LOUIS NOTES.

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.

Detroit Exhibition.

Detroit flower people are -wide
awake in giving full local notice to
their 300,000 people that the Amer-
ican Rose Society will arrive In the
city January 10, 11 and 12, 1912. The
premium list is out and any additions
as specials will be placed therein as
fast as they come, because for years
past these specials have been given
even up to the very last days. Twenty-
four persons have subscribed to the
guarantee fund; Chicago people will
do their best and this means a great
deal.

A public show of this kind in which
roses, carnations and local treasures
will combine to fill the large crystal
palace, known as the Wayne Pavilion,
is certain to be so attractive in a city
of homes and gardens like Detroit
that the place will be well filled.
Wallace R. Pierson has been on a
missionary tour of good will from
East to West.

Do you know that the American
Rose Society has only granted two
gold medals— the last one was voted
to M. H. Walsh and this medal of
pure gold was duly forwarded to him.
And herein lies a bit. of affection.
When the name of the rose for which
the medal was given was asked, Mr.
Walsh remembered his wife and
named what is said to be the finest
white rose. Mrs. M. H. Walsh.

The Executive Committee will meet
shortly to go over all details pertain-
ing to the coming annual meeting;
several committees will have reports
to make.

DETROIT SHOW PREPARATIONS.
Mr. Dilger, manager of the coming
show of the Rose and Carnation So-
ciety, keeps the various committees
hustling and stirs up something new
every day. He brought out one point
which ought to be looked into by the
S. A. F. It seems that almost every-
thing like horses, cattle, machinery,
etc., etc., can be brought into the U.
S. free of duty if for exhibition pur-
poses. Not so with the product of the
florist. On all flowers and plants an
ad valorem duty of 25 per cent must
be paid, even if cut flowers are to be
thrown away or given to charity after
an exhibition. It seems that proper
steps taken by the legislative com-
mittee of the S. A. F. ought to be suc-
cessful in having the florists' product
placed on the same basis as the
farmers' product. Mr. Dilger also de-
sires it to be known that small spaces
— say 200 square feet — may be rented
by plant growers for displays during
this convention, as also spaces for
banners. There being but very few
opportunities of this kind, it will be
necessary to make application for
such space to Mr. Dilger, 36 Broad-
way, at an early date.

Better Flower Deliveries Secured.

The following supplementary report
of the Tariff and Legislative Commit-
tee has been forwarded to Sec'y Dor-
ner of the S. A. F., by Chairman John
G. Esler of that committee:

The Tariff and Legislative Com-
mittee of the S. A. F. and O. H., are
able to announce that in the contro-
versy with the 1'nited States Express
Co., which has been going on during
the past six months, over the ineffi-
cient delivery of cut flowers, the com-
pany has acceded to the representa-
tions of the committee, and has es-
tablished a satisfactory and efficient
delivery, without an appeal to the In-
ter-state Commerce Commission.

The chairman desires to state that
if the florists of the country eoula
only understand the effectiveness of
concrete action, over individual effort,
in dealing with corporations, every
producer of, and dealer in, floral pro-
ducts, would become a member of the
S. A. F. and O. H. forthwith.

GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' CLUB
OF BALTIMORE.
The Gardeners' and Florists' Club of
Baltimore held an interesting meet-
ing Monday night. Several new mem-
bers were added to the list. F. C.
Bauer gave a detailed talk of a trip
he recently made in Europe. He
talked mainly on things of especial
interest to florists. Philip B. Welsh
was elected a delegate to the Farmers'
League, which will meet here during
the annual exhibition of the State
Horticultural Society. Next March
will be the 25th anniversary of the
club. The president was authorized
to appoint a committee to arrange an
appropriate programme to celebrate
the occasion.

Notes.

The Minnesota State Horticultural
Society will hold its 45th annual meet-
ing in Minneapolis, on Dec. 5-8, 1911.
A big fruit show is promised. "Meet
us at the great horticultural feast."

The New York Gardeners' Society's
Reunion Dinner and Entertainment
will be held in the afternoon and even-
ing of Dec. 21st, in Thum's banquet
rooms and bowling alleys, 1241 Broad-
way. This will be a great and jolly

gathering of the principal gardeners
and those engaged in horticulture
within a radius of one hundred miles
of New York city. A large and repre-
sentative committee has been appoint-
ed to cover the several sections, with
Joseph Manda, W. E. Marshall and J.
Ivera Donlan to act as central commit-
tee in the city.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

H. L. Lausher, with Z. D. Blacki-
stone, has just returned from a short
trip through Maryland and Virginia.

Otto Bauer of the Washington
Florists' Co. has been selected as one
of the judges of the exhibits of flowers
during Maryland Week at Baltimore,
December 4 to 9.

Gude Bros, exhibited a fine selection
of chrysanthemums and American
Beauty roses at the Maryland-Virginia
Apple Show held in the Masonic Tem-
ple during the week.

J. Henry Small has been named as
a member of the executive committee
of the Washington Board of Trade,
and he and William F. Gude are also
members of the Sleman Memorial
Committee.

A very interesting meeting may be
expected on Tuesday, December 5,
when the Florists' Club of Washington
will again get together. A number of
important matters will be brought up
for discussion and a large attendance
is expected.

Michael J. McCabe, who operates a
stand in the Center Market, has
opened a branch in the Riggs Market.
His son, Harry, will be in charge of
the latter place. The opening was
marked with a fine showing of Kil-
larney and Richmond roses.

Shipments of fertilizer to points on
the Potomac River are running very
heavy and on each trip of the steam-
ers from Alexandria to the lower Po-
tomac points many hundreds of bags
are carried. Alexandria fertilizer plants
are getting their share of the business,
the rest coming from Baltimore and
other points. It is believed these
heavy shipments will continue for a
long time to come.

Walter Gordon has severed his con-
nection with the Washington Florists
Co. and has entered the employ of
James A. Phillips, 292G Fourteenth
Street, N. W. The Washington Flor-
ists Co. have also lost from their em-
ploy Miss Mattie Williams, who, for
a long time, was their bookkeeper and
saleslady. She is receiving the con-
gratulations of her friends on her mar-
riage to Mr. Richard Garrett. After
an extended honeymoon the couple
will reside in Wilmington, N. C, where
the groom is located.

The Washington Florists Co., have
a prize-winning window trim this
week which is very suggestive of the
season. In the centre, suspended from
the ceiling, is a gigantic horn of plen-
ty from which seems to come tumbling
in an artistic manner, a number of
pumpkins, ears of corn and large yel-
low and white chrysanthemums, suit-
ably set off with greens. On either side
of this small rustic baskets of Killar-
neys and other roses are placed, as
is also a large rustic box of orchids.
Surrounding the flowers are bunches
of corn stalks and more pumpkins and
the whole is arched over with twigs
and autumn leaves.

Seed Trade

American vs. English Grown Sweet
Peas.

The following interesting communi-
cation has been sent to the trade press
of Great Britain by George YV. Kerr.
I can cordially endorse same as it
thoroughly agrees with knowledge
gained from my own training in Eu-
rope and my subsequent experience in
America extending over a period of
28 years. Any Britisher who doubts
the superiority of American-grown
seed either in strain or vitality should
consult what that experienced Eng-
lishman. Edwin Lonsdale, has to say
of the extraordinary results in size
and perfection of bloom attained in
that favored spot — the Lompoc Valley
in California, with the sweet pea. I
saw some of the Hemus samples at
Fordhook trial grounds last summer.
They were nothing to brag of. Very
much mixed and not true to descrip-
tion. I believe Lompoc Valley is the
sweet pea "paradise."

GEORGE C. WATSON.
Gentlemen: —

A few days ago I received :i verj daintily
gotten up Sweet Pea Catalog from Eng-
land an. I. being a great adm rei .if our
Queen "f Annuals and always thirsting
for further knowledge pertaining thereto,
I Immediately proceeded to consume Its
contents and. having done so. feel it my
duty to unburden myself on some remarks
eon'tnined therein.

The Introduction contains some rather
ai ei i u 1 1 it assertions, some of these appar-
entlj being dlr ici id agah ocks of

other Sweet Pea -i allsts (?). hut the

lirst to hold inv attention was the follow-
ing statement: "The public are then sold
seed grown in the soft climate of Califor-
nia, whhh seed is not. I maintain, besl
calculated to stand the trying vagaries of
the English climate."

I would not -ay that Calif ornlnn-grown
Sweet Pea

English seed, hut I have seen very little
of the latter for some time; for. Judging
by the many English 1 i el rj each

year the germinating qualities are "way
down." though I must in say that

tl tew -rowers are

all thai could be desired, . i oachlng the
"domestic" (home-grown) samples.

Last season I handled forty-seven novel-
ties (?) from the firm who sent me the
catalog referred to above. The packets
contained in all 1010 seed-, 286 of which
germinated. Twenty three of the varieties
were true to description, though most of

these were practically Bynonymous with or
Inferior to existing sorts, the only differ-
ence heing the name; endit were so mixed
that it uas impossible to tell what was
intended for the variety; thirteen were en-
tirely Oiandllloras. although sold as Spen-
.-ers: of threr \ariefies no se -ds germi-
nated The seed was carefully plant..! In
pots during February and given cool green-
house treatment. California seed planted
on same date and under .entieal condi-
tions germinated 95 per cent. And yel this
grower has the audacity to criticise Amer-
ican-grown seed, apparently forgetting that
it were hotter to "consider the beam that
is in thine own eye" ere attempting to re-
move the mote from thy brother's eye.

It is clear that the writer of l In-
lions in < i u.'st ion has no earthly idea of the
seed grow ing conditions of CaluTornl
such a statement would never have been
made: for, as a matter of fact, the condi-
tions there are ideal for the production of
perfect seed, and as the temperature is
equable, neither too hot nor too cold, the
resulting crops are unsurpassed, having
the highest germinating qualities and be-
ing full of viL'or. The seed is planted dur-
ing February, the temnerature al that time
and duriiir the earlier stages of growth
ranging from 40 to 50 deg. Fahr., while
during the summer and ripening period it
seldom l'ocs above 75 to 80 deg. Pahr. As
a role there are no rains after April, but
during July and August heavy fogs come
in from the sea each night, thus supplying
all the moisture required for the growth
of the plant and also preventing the pods
from bursting and ripening prematurely.
As regards the soil, it is questionable !
it has its equal in the world, the depth
of virgin (?) soil in some localities heing
h. rd to determine, and as no artificial fer-
tilizer of any description is used, the
Sweet Tea In California develops a natural
growth, never heine forced by stimulants.
th.- icsuit being that disease is practically
unknown.

In introduction, paragraph No. 4, the
grower further says: "An untrue stock

powers, and it produced splendid plants.
Previous to this season Mr. F. Cooper, for-
merly of Histon, managed my stocks, but
as I was growing a much larger quantity
this year, my expert foreman, Mr. G. H.
Burt, went out to take charge. He arrived
lo April before the plants were in bloom
and stayed until all the seed was harvest-
ed. Under the care of Mr. Burt my cus-
tomers may rest assured that stocks will
be true to name. E?ery pod of seed is
gathered by hand, in the same way as is
done at home. Mr. Burt writes: "I wish
I could send yoa a bunch of each variety,
as the blooms are grand and we have no
disease on any variety."

Growing my own seeds in California has
been a great expense, but I found it was
the only course to take, so as to offer good,
plump seed of these poor seeders at a rea-
sonable rate.

Maine Seed Improvement Association.
The Maine Seed Improvement Asso-
ciation held its annual session at Wat-
ervilie on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, Nov. 21-23. Addresses on
The Best Type of Field Corn for
Maine Farmers, by Dr. G. M. Twitch-
ell of Auburn; Prof. M. E. Barnes of
Cornell University, on Developing
Disease Resistant Strains of Plants,
and by Dr. Raymond Pearl on Potato
Improvement, were among the most
interesting parts of the program. An
immense amount of business was
transacted. Among the resolutions
adopted was the following:

Resolved. That in the opinion of the as-
sociation, the most urgent need at the
present time for the improvement of the
crops of Maine is to obtain exact scientific
knowledge as to what varieties or strain
of seed of our common crops are best suit-
ed to the local conditions of soil and cli-
mate in different parts of the state. To
this end the association would recommend
the carrying out as soon as possible of
accurate scientific and widely distributed
variety tests of the best strain of seed
now to be obtained in any part of the
world. As a beginning of the work the
association would i ndorse the co-operative
variety tests of oats now being conducted
by the Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion, and desires to record its willingness
to co-operate in i h se tests, and would urge
the extension of such tests to other crops
at as early a date as may be feasible.

Resolved, That the executive committee
is hereby instructed to onsider carefully
the question of premiums and methods of
olfering premiums at the future annual
meetings or such other exhibits as the as-
tion may participate in, with a view
of formula,ting a plan whereby emphasis
in making awards shall be placed upon
type, yield and adjustment of crops to lo-
.t diti tfcs.

Flower Market Reports

The Harvard-Yale foot-

BOSTON ball game Saturday, Nov.
25, helped trade very ma-
terially last week. Intensity and
Strimptun, chrysanthemums and Har-
ry Fenn, carnation, being especially in
demand. This episode, with the pros-
pect of Thanksgiving Day, the great
New England festival, sufficed to set
the florist trade into action and prices
began to move upwards. The ship-
ping trade, as usual, came in to help
the upward trend of the market and
up to Tuesday evening the conditions
were quite favorable but on Wednes-
day the inevitable reaction set iu and
prices sagged, due in a great measure
to local apathy and the discontin-
uance of the shipping business. The
market is well supplied with every-
thing and on roses, carnations and
violets the overstock has broken the
price in half.

Business brightened up

BUFFALO considerably and was
good throughout the
week. There was enough stock to
supply the demand, but a slight short-
age on the short grade of roses, espe-
cially Killarney and Richmond. The
demand fell on carnations which were
not over plentiful. Some very choice
Pink Delight, Perfection and Beacon
are had and they have had a good
sale. Chrysanthemums continue

good, also lily of the valley, the latter
selling well. Narcissus, Roman hya-
cinths and stevia are added to the
list. Floral work was in demand and
helped to consume a good portion of
the surplus.

Plenty of chrysanthe-

CHICAGO mums for Thanksgiving
is the outlook at this
writing, Monday, the 27th, but there
is no accumulation of stock and or-
ders are coming in steadily leaving
the final outcome uncertain. Roses
are shortening in supply and prices
on fancy stock are apt to be in favor
of the grower while Beauties, as re-
ported last week, are off crop general-
ly. Carnations have been short in sup-
ply all the late fall and with the ap-
proach of the holidays are in greater
demand than ever, even though the
complaints of sleepy stock are quite
frequent. The warm weather is sup-
posed to be the cause of this trouble.
Sweet peas are coming in rather slow-
ly and demand for good stock is brisk.
Violets are selling well and prices ad-
vanced this week. In lilies the sup-
ply and demand are about equal. All
kinds of green help out the stock.

While the market

CINCINNATI will not be very
long on stock for
Thanksgiving, early reports from the
growers indicate that they will have
enough to go around. A general hold-
ing back by many starting last week
brightened up the market. All the junk
that had accumulated in the ice boxes
has been cleaned up, and now prac-
tically all offerings are Al in quality.
The shipping demand continues
strong. The late varieties of chrysan-
themums are now in and soon, out-
side of a few very late varieties, they
•will be a thing of the past. The White
and Yellow Chadwick, White and Ma-
jor Bonnaffon are the favorites now. A
heavy cut of Diana is arriving each
day. All roses clean up quickly and

Flower Market Reports.

(Ctutinutd frim paft 7",1)

are on the short side. Beauties are
conspicuous for their scarcity. The
supply of red, too. is not over-large.
Carnations sell very well and more
might probably be used. The colored
varieties are not as plentiful as white
ones. Longiflorum lilies are good
property. The same is true of New
York double and single violets, Lily
(it the valley and orchids sell up from
day to day. Narcissi are now in-
cluded in the offerings. The green
goods market is ample. Considerable
bronze galax, boxwood, ferns and leu-
cothoe are being shipped.

The old saying, "Praise

DETROIT not the day before the
sun has set," may be
aptly applied to last week's business
conditions, which, while beginning
very promising, found the tables of
the wholesalers loaded down with
fine stock Saturday night. This week,
with Thanksgiving, will turn the
tables to a more satisfactory condi-
tion for all concerned. We all feel the
great scarcity of debutantes, which
were unusually many last year, and
the few there are will all have their
coming-out parties around the holi-
days.

A busy week was

NEW YORK forecasted tor the
Thanksgiving time
and the outlook was promising but va-
rious Influences had to be reckoned
with and the outcome is not exactly to
the liking of the grower and grow-
ers' agents in the wholesale markets.
In truth the supply of Bowers in the
local markets is over-liberal and it
is not easy to control prices. Some
things, as the regal cattleya, hold
their own, regardless of market
fluctuations. Violets got a refreshing
fillip from the football excitement.
But, taking the market as a whole,
the situation is not over-encouraging
to the man who has to pay the coal
bill or the agent who has to tand tot
the store expenses. Still, "the smoke
goes up the chimney just the same"
and we hope that everyone interested
will come out on the safe side of the
ledger on the Thanksgiving proposi-
tion.

SaUir: was

PHILADELPHIA the big day of
last week. I n
addition to fine weather (which lets
the street men out and makes busi-
ness good any fine Saturday) there
was on this occasion the Army and
Navy game, which always calls for
lots of flowers. Immense quantities
of yellow chrysanthemums were held

back especially for that event and
notwithstanding the great demand
there was more than enough to go
around and prices, while fair, were
not much above normal. For three
months now the chrysanthemum has
been with us and there never have
been so many as this year. As a
natural consequence returns have not
averaged as good as in previous years
— good judges say 25 to 35 per cent
less. Among the varieties still in evi-
dence and in splendid form are Bon-
naffon, Chadwick, Dean, Eaton and
Nonin. Violets were also in great de-
mand for the game. There was any
amount of them, both from nearby and
distant points. All were pretty well
cleaned up — except the late arrivals.
The quality is now fully up to the cold
weather standard and gives excellent
satisfaction to customers. All roses
are selling well, and quality generally
is all that can be desired. The
"double pink" Killarney is a favorite.
It was a little off color for a while but
has pretty nearly got back to its best
form again. Prince de Bulgarie Is
also in grand form, the specials bring-
ing as high as fifteen and twenty,
which is remarkable for a rose of this
character. Carnations also are in fine
form. Splendid flowers of Enchantress,
Beacon, Pink Delight and Gloriosa
are to be had in quantity. Orchids
scarce. Gardenias Improving. Pap' r
whites made their appearance last
week.

The market was |
ST. LOUIS ly relieved last weel
The glut of the previous
week had disappeared and some
cut stock became real scan e Today,
Monday. Nov. 27, hi; llttl is coming
in and the market was cleaned up
early. This will be the case during all
this week a,s the retailers at
ed to buy heavily for Thanksgl
week. Roses have been quite plenti-
ful and only the besl have sold
and cheap. Carnations sell well with
hardly enough to go around some

days. Stock that has been selling at
2 and 3 cents is now up to 4 and 5
cents, with extra fancy at 6 cents.
Chrysanthemums are on the down
grade but quite a few fancy ones are
still coming in. Violets are in great
demand. Lily of the valley, Roman
hyacinths, paper whites and lilies —
plenty of these are expected this week.
Good Smilax, adiantum and asparagus
are in demand.

The football game
WASHINGTON between the Army
and Navy elevens
caused a small flurry in the local mar-
ket and a number of small weddings
and the usual funerals made up the
week's work. With the weather
continuing warm and stormless, busi-
ness in all lines is very slow and this,
of course, affects the sales of flowers.
The days of the big supply of chrysan-
themums in this market are about over
and many of the local growers com-
pleted their cutting this week. Roses

in fine shape for the Thanksgiv-
ing trade, especially locally grown
American Beauties which were never
in better form, foliage or color. Car-
nations were fair but the supply did
not equal the demand for good stock
and even the inferior qualities were
slim as to quantity. There were a few
i peas to be had but they were
not so much in demand. Gardenias
produced locally were ^ood as to qual-
ity but not enough of them were of-
fered. There seemed to be an un-
usually heavy demand for single vio-
lets but the largest growers were not
able to begin to make them bloom to
make any kind of a showing in num-
bers. The few thousands that came in

all sold before they were picked.
Hudson River violets were never bet-
ter than at present, they are plentiful,
and the supply and the demand are
equal. In the market this week could
be seen the first of the paper-white
narcissus, Gloire de Lorraine begonias
and stevia. Some very fine azaleas are
also among the newcomers.

Tl-»e Bermuda Eas-fcet- l_ily

l_E1~ US supply your wants in l_ilies this season

We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but Is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dag, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, If any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this Is disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii In Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 6-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lota, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown in pots, and a.-e thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

a fact that very few of them do. The fragrance of "WODENETHE,"
is delightful. It has eveiy other desirable quality also, size, perfect
form, purity in color and the calyx positively does not split.

Come and see it growing; then you will also see

ONE of the finest, freest bloomine Carnations I have ever handled
and a "bread and butter Carnation" in every sense of the word.

have mentioned of cultivated types
so far, however, appears chiefly con-
spicuous by the immaculate glistening white of won-

flowers of the same classic form in various clear dis-

apparently vexatious task of growing the brilliant hued
Cape daisy, Gerbera Jamesoni and its various new hy-

apt to induce the North to a higher valuation of the
hardy Pyrethrum roseum, frequently called the pink
daisy, or the pink Marguerite. Of perfect form, the

of Boston it appears at its best during May and June,
while farther north the flowering season extends well
into the month of July. Under normal conditions
plants attain a height of from 2 to 3 feet. The old
stalks removed in time causes the plants to lightly
bloom again in the fall. Pyrethrum roseum can be
easily raised from seed which, however, only to a cer-
tain percentage comes true to color. For special color
scheme arrangement- it is therefore more advisable to
buy previously assorted plants.

In modern garden planting with its tendency for
higher values in artistic floral effects Pyrethrum roseum
and its new single and double hybrids represent a ma-

Gladiolus Notes

The season past, has been a pretty severe one for
gladioli, especially for developing seed. Although I
put in the usual amount of work in crossing, I gathered
the record small crop of seed. The bulbs turned out
much better than 1 expected, considering the long ex-
tended drouth, but I worked the hoe and cultivator
double time, conserving all the moisture possible in this
wa.\ .

The blooming period was not at all satisfactory this
year. Many of the new sorts I bought for trial did not
bloom. In some cases the bulbs sent me were evidently
old worn out bulbs thai probably never will bloom. I
don't understand why so many growers send out this
kind of stock. I have been trying for three years with-
out success to obtain young stock of Gladiolus Sans.
Pareil, probably the most beautiful salmon pink
gandavensis in existence. From about 150 large bulbs of
this variety I managed to get something like sixty bulb-
lut with the most careful culture 1 only got eight
puny little cormels. The old bulbs of many choice
varieties will not produce vigorous bulblets.

As a rule, the longer a bulb is grown from divisions,
the more flattened it becomes, so that when we get the
round or conical-shaped bulbs we are apt to think that
we have some strong young bulbs. This is not always
to be depended upon for a great many of my oldest
bulbs that I have been growing for seeding three and
four years, were as round as virgin bulbs when I dug
them this fall. On the other hand, the variety Mrs.
Frank Pendleton is invariably flat the second year from
bulblets, if over seven-eighths of an inch in diameter.

two best new white sorts I have tried this year
are Isabel (M. Crawford) and White Queen (Geo.
Pop]), Jr.) The latter sorl is a solid white and the one
healthy bulb out of six I bought produced a strong
healthy plant and a splendid spike of pure white flowers
equal to any of the solid white varieties I have seen and

all of the new pure whiles ,,f Europe and America

and not one of then a healthy and vigorous plant

or a good spike of flowers. A few of the varieties that
especially took my fancy I will describe: Cardinal — a
splendid scarlet of good size very clear and rich color.
Dorothy Burnham — a grand flowered variety of a bright
rosy pink color with a large pure white throat. Helen —
fine white striped with crimson. Prescott — white tinged
with pink, dark throat. Splendor — large flower, soft
pink or rose with a large magenta stain. Scribe — the
Childsi cousin of the old but still popular Eugene Scribe
but to my eye much better. Gallieni — a large splendid
red from Europe and the following superb sorts that I
will not take up your time in describing — Alec Wallace,
Rubesfeur, Pres. MeKinley, Gertrude, Barclay, Silver
Sheen and Japnick.

Among the fine varieties from Europe that bloomed
with me this season were Soliel d'Or a good yellow from
A. Gravereau, France ; Mons. A. Brougmart, a fine
pink, large white blotch; Madame de Vilmorin, very
large pale flesh pink, striped rosy carmine ; Melusine, soft
lilac with a white band and straw colored blotch on
lower petals, and Cordelia a fine Lemoinei of a very fresh
pink with two carmine blotches on a white ground.

At Rochester last year I saw Niagara, and at Baltimore
1 saw Mr. Bantling's other beauty, Panama, but not
until I had seen these two beautiful varieties in bloom
in my own garden, did I appreciate these magnificent
gladioli, and I want to say the same of Kunderdi Glory.
Those who have only seen these varieties at Baltimore
and Rochester, have not seen them at their best.

Mr. -Montague Chamberlain is growing some wonder-
fully beautiful varieties and has been capturing valuable
prizes with them this summer. There are four varieties

are well deserving of mention: — Rajah, a
almost solid red; Mrs. M. Chamberlain and Mrs. L
Merton Gage, two most beautiful white sorts, and Im-
proved 1900, similar to the old 1900 but more brilliant
and perfectly healthy and vigorous.

marks on their cultivation might no! be out of place at
this time.

Phalaenopsis is generally considered hard to grow,
and this is true to a certain extent, but if certain lit-
tle details are strict h attended I serious trouble

should be experienced in their cultivation even by the
beginner. 1 have in my care oveT Eour hundred of
these lovely orchids which were purchased in November,
190-1, at the St. Louis Exposition, where they formed
part of the Philippine Exhibit. The plants were at
that time all growing on -ticks of wood just as they
were imported from the Philippine Islands. They ar-
rived here on a cold November morning and it was due
to mere luck and
quick action that
all of them were
not frozen; they
came in well

most of the rest
are alive today

good crop of
flowers every

we are never en-
t i r e 1 y without

bloom. At present there are over a thousand expanded
flowers of the white Phalamopsis Aphrodite (or A.! ama-
bilis, as it is generally but wrongly called) and they
make a glorious display. Ph. SchiSeriana with it- great
panicles of rose-colored flowers comes in bloom from
four to six weeks later. With it flowers Ph. Stuartiana,
another beautiful variety.

To grow Pholsenopsis successfully a suitable house
must be provided in the first place. They require at all
times a fairly high temperature and therefore the house
should have ample heating facilities. One should in-
able to keep the temperature al 58 degrees to SO di
at night in severe cold weather, without unduly forcing
the boiler. In milder weather 65 degrees al night will
not be any too warm and the nearer one can keep the
bouse to that point the better.

Newly imported plant- should be put in pots or bas-
kets as soon as possible, using live sphagnum moss or

During the hot, damp days ,,f summer, wdien no lire

ther bu1 by carefully cutting out all the

diseased part and < or dressing the injured part

with sulphur or lime most plants can be saved. Should
the disease have gone too far before being noticed it will
be best to cut oil' all ihe diseased leaves down to tin- root,
treat the wound with sulphur and then hang the plant
up out of the way of the hose. Do not water until the
plant starts to grow again. In some instances it may be
well to remove some of the potting material for the time
being. It is astonishing how quickly this disease will
spread; from a little spot the size of a pin head it will
in a few days spread over and kill the whole plant if left
alone, therefore one can not be too careful in this matter.
Plants of Phalaanopsis are quite expensive and it pays
to take good care of them. If properly treated they will
grow better and bigger from year to year, and as they
get larger they will also produce larger sprays of flowers

The use of tepid rain water for watering is generally
advised and no doubt is very good where it can be car-
ried out, but here they get along on pure cold well
water very nicely, never having tasted any rain water
since they left the Philippine Islands. During the
growing season I take them down whenever I can spare
the time and dip them in very weak manure water. This
does them lots of good and I only regret that I can
not do it oi'iener owing to lack of time. It is quite a
job for one man to take down some 500 plants and
dip, besides doing all the other regular work.

All during the growing season (which commences
when the plants begin to make new leaves and ends
when the last leaf is made up) the plants must have
plenty of moisture at the root, giving them a good
soaking as soon as they show signs of getting dry.
After that the amount of water given should be grad-

and it is the flowers we are after. This can not be said
of cattleyas and most of the other commercial orchids.
Under ordinary treatment they grow a little smaller
every year, produce less flowers. It is just the very op-
posite with Phalamopsis, here — the older the better.

Keep insects pests down by the free use of the hose and
some good insecticide. Do not smoke with tobacco stems
while the plants are in bloom, as it will quickly put
the flowers to sleep. Private gardeners who have plenty
of time and help can sponge the leaves occasionally with
tepid water and take the plants down several times a
week and dip those that are dry in tepid rain water of
the same temperature as the house; this will be bene-
ficial to the plants no doubt; but the average commer-
cial florist can't afford to do it. My plants have been
sponged once in the seven years they are here and then
only because I had a dose of red spider on them which I
could not get rid of otherwise. Since that time T use
the hose freely and they have been clean ever since.

ually reduced until the flowers have developed. After
these have been cut the plants should be allowd to dry
out thoroughly each time before water is again applied.
While the plants are in bloom the atmosphere of the
house should be kept quite dry to prevent spotting of
the flowers. If any should flower out of season, re-
move them to dryer quarters. Keep the temperature as
near as possible to the following mark : Growing sea-
son, night 65 degrees to 70 degrees, day 75 degrees to
95 degrees or more, providing the plants are sufficiently
shaded. Resting season 65 degrees at night, 70 degrees
to 75 degrees during the day. Above all things look
out for that fatal rot or it will quickly do them up and
make it an unprofitable investment. If all goes right
there is no better orchid in the market today.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of Florists' Stock

CARE OF YOUNG LORRAINE BEGONIAS

Plants that were propagated from leaf cuttings in
October should be sufficiently rooted now or in a couple
of weeks to go into 2 or 2%-inch pots. These plants
like a light sandy mix hire so give them a compost of
about four parts good loam, two parts leaf mold and
one part well-rotted manure, with enough sand to make
the whole light as they will not stand anything approach-
ing a stagnant moisture at the roots. After they are
potted give them a place in a house where the tempera-
ture stands anywhere from GO to 65 degrees at night and
as close to the glass as possible, giving some shade on
all days when the sun is powerful. They will want a
somewhat close and moderately humid atmosphere and
a nice gentle sprinkling on good days. Fresh air must
never be entirely excluded in good weather, for while
they like a moist atmosphere they will not stand a
muggy one. Ventilation will have to be properly man-
aged from this out, so as to meet the many excessive
changes in temperature that come with this time of
the year. Watering should be done with care giving
just enough to keep the soil damp but not saturated
for it is better to keep rather on the dry side than to
over-water.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS FOR STOCK

It is now time to select stock for bench and pot
culture, for decorative purposes and exhibition next
year. In deciding how many and of what varieties are
needed it is well to bear in mind that while some make
cuttings abundantly and root freely other varieties are
just the opposite. Having made your selection, place
the required number of plants in boxes of 4 or 5 inches
of soil, packing the roots close together and firming the
soil well around them, afterwards giving them a good
watering. Keep this stock in as cool a house as you
have and if pinched for room place them in a deep cold-
frame where they can be kept just above freezing. Be
sure to have all your varieties labeled with new labels.

BOUVARDIAS

Plants that were selected early in October and dried
off in a cool house can by this time be started into
growth. Cut all the immature wood back to well-
ripened wood and give them a good soaking of water
so the ball becomes well moistened. Give them a house
where the temperature runs from 60 to 65 degrees at
night, with a rise during the day of 10 to 15 degrees.
Keep the plants moist by syringing them overhead two
or three times a day. In a short time they will break
away freely from every joint producing a heavy growth
that will make a fine batch of cuttings. These cuttings
can be taken close to the base of the mature wood and
placed in a warm propagating frame where the temper-
ature of the sand is from 70 to 75 degrees. Keep them
moist and close and in a short time they will have
formed nice roots. When potting these cuttings into
small pots use a mixture of sifted loam three parts,
leaf-mold two parts. ;1nd a little rotten cow manure with
some sand. Keep them rather close and shaded until
they have made a few new roots when they should be
given a place on some bench where they will have plenty
of light and a temperature of from 60 to 65 at night.
Bouvardia Humboldt ii i^ a popular favorite.

DENDROBH

All dendrobiums thai have lowered during the -pring
and summer such as Dendrobium Devonianum, D.
densiflorum, D. nobile and its varieties, D. suavissimum.
D. thyrsiflorum, D. Wardianum and also many hybrids,
now that their growth is maturing should have
water gradually withheld so as to bring about that rest-
ing period which is essentia] to the successful flowering
of these fine orchids. It is very important to give them
a house where they will get more sunshine with less
moisture in the atmosphere. To obtain this, ventilation
should be admitted at all times when the outside condi-
tions will permit. Temperature has to go hand in
hand with the above condition so as to give them a de-
cided period of rest; anywhere from 50 to 55 will be
sufficient. When in this temperature give only enough
of moisture at the roots to prevent shriveling, but they
will be better for a spraying overhead on all bright
days. When the flower nodes appear they should be
given a wanner and moister house.

PROPAGATING CARNATIONS

Those who have three or four houses of carnations to
provide stock for should start now and put in a batch
of cuttings. A propagating house is the best, but where
you have not this at command any bench that is sit-
uated where no strong draughts will strike it will
answer the purpose. Remember you cannot take too
much pains in having everything around the cutting
bench in a clean state. Give the sides and bottom a
good coat of hot whitewash to kill any fungus germs
and then cover the bottom for about an inch or so with
some coarse material for drainage. On top of this place
about three inches of clean sharp sand of a medium
grade of coarseness and pack it all over so as to be firm.
Keep the sand from 60 to 65 degrees of heat, while the
atmosphere of the house should range from 48 to 50
degrees to ensure a good strike. Where the sun strikes
the bench shade with some muslin, which can be re-
moved in the evening and on cloudy days. Plants that
have been grown from July in the house should by this
time give an abundance of nice cuttings from side
growth which will make fine material for propagation
without sacrificing your bloom.

PROTECTING PANSIES, ETC.

Pansies, daisies, myosotis, pinks, hollyhocks, violas,
etc., that are in frames and have been exposed until the
ground becomes pretty well tightened up with sharp
frosts, can have a light covering of some perfectly dry
leaves and then the sashes should be put on. During
all mild days through the winter give ventilation so as
to keep the ground in a frozen state. It is a good plan
to cover the sashes with mats or any other non-conduct-
ing material to keep the solar heat from reaching them
until the time when you wish to start and grow them on.

Fruit and Vegetables Under Glass

mi old adage which says, "There are always
two ways to '1" a job, viz., the right and i he wrong." This
sank' rule applies to making a vine border; years of
study have taught us a great deal relative to this. In
days the houses were built and the soil which hap-
pened to be I here was used lo plant the vines in. In
some instances no doubt this answered and for a time

fairly good crops were produced, but no one could fore-
cast how a crop would finish or how long the vines would
last. In those days, as old garden books have it, dead
animals were buried in the borders to furnish the vines
with food. Up-to-date methods differ vastly from all
this and we see vines producing a uniform crop year
after year of finely finished and delicious fruit.

To commence making a border means to provide for
it when accepting the plans for a new house, in the form
of excavating the soil to a depth of four feet, having the
sidewalks go down below this. A concrete floor should
be laid on the bottom having a fall to the center, where
a drain should carry away the water into a sewer. This
is the first great step. Some may wonder what makes
it necessary to have a floor beneath the roots. (1)
This keeps the roots under absolute control and you
know exactly how much soil the roots are growing in.
(2) You are assured of good drainage which carries so
many good points with it. Penning the foregoing re-
minds me of some renovating I was working on some
years ago. We had torn an old border down in the
endeavor to trace a strong root of a Muscat-Hamburgh ;
after much work we ran it to the wall where it had gone
underneath the foundations — the border having no con-
crete bottom — and must have been growing under a
near-by road. The health of the vine was not satis-
factory and in a "death or glory" effort we were told
to cut it off which we did and we got the first mentioned
result as the vine never recovered from this amputa-
tion. This goes to show the necessity of perfect con-
trol. Coming to the drainage — four-inch land draining
pipes should be placed at intervals of about six feet
running with the grade to the drain. Broken bricks
should now be thrown loosely over the whole bottom to
a depth of from nine inches to a foot, using a few smaller
ones for the top. Place a good sod grass downwards
over all the broken brick and it is ready to receive the
soil. Here I would say it is not advisable to make up
the whole border at once; better make it three to four
feet wide and add more soil as the roots need more room.
Chop down the loam — already stacked — and to every
ten loads of soil add one bag of large bones (2 inch),
one of half-inch bone, and two bags of charcoal and mix
well together. This mixture is given for a soil of

medium texture. Heavy soil might need more opening
material, while light soil would want less charcoal.
Just linn the border as the soil is brought in but do not
iikiI e it real hard. When planting vines from pots,
e the roots out and spread them evenly over the
surface not more than three inches deep. This gives
more feeding surface and encourages surface roots from
the commencement. Providing the soil is stacked in
time and protected from frost and rain this work can
be done any time during the winter months.

PRUNING PEACH TKEES

Peaches growing in pots are easily pruned. Keep
the center of the tree open to admit air and light, leave
all new wood possible and balance the tree by reducing
any shoots of great length. Trees growing on a trellis
are somewhat different. If properly disbudded there
will be very little wood to cut away. Any old wood
which can be replaced by new should be discarded.
Take enough wood out so that the tree is not crowded
when tied in again. A space in the center is best left
open, as young growths will always fill in this especially
if the trees are disbudded on the top side. Always en-
deavor to furnish the bottoms with as much growing
wood as possible.

FIO HOUSES

All fig trees will now be resting and pruning and win-
ter cleaning and renovation of borders can be proceeded
with as time allows. Prune similar to a peach tree,
leaving as much young wood as possible. When the tree
is tied in again each shoot should have a space of at
least six inches as its massive foliage requires plenty
of room and light to develop. When washing the young
wood great care must be exercised, so that the small
fruit which form the first crop are not rubbed off. As
with other trees the cleanliness of a fig must determine
the nature of the winter wash. A fig requires plenty of
water while growing and thrives best in a good reten-
tive soil. Do not allow the trees to become dust dry
while dormant. Figs are very rapid growers and do
best where the trees can have plenty of trellis room with-
out having to prune them too much each year. The
house can be dropped to 28 degrees — more frost is
liable to injure the young growths.

PEAS

This delicious vegetable can be grown successfully un-
der glass and from now on seeds can be sown which
will furnish a supply of green peas long before they are
obtainable outside. With the turn of the year and an
increase of sun growth will be better and crops will
come in quicker. A pea likes a good rich, moderately
heavy soil and should be given a deep bench. Raised
benches are preferable to solid at this time of year. They
dry out quicker, the soil is warmer and the roots get
more air. The small growing varieties recommend
themselves for side benches with a limited head room;
taller ones can be employed more profitably if head
room permits. Give a liberal supply of water during
the whole growing period. A night temperature of 55
to 60 with the usual advances by day will suit them.
Such varieties as Nott's Excelsior, Harbinger, Little
Marvel and American Wonder will be found satisfac-
tory on side benches while Gradus has stood the test
as one of the most reliable of the taller growing peas.

New Winter-Flowering Shrubs

Although we already have a considerable numbei o

i nil- which arc capable of being utilized for winter-
flowering purposes i tani thai any new addi-
tions should iv, eive i it tention and I be varieties
mentioned below are capable of proving of greal value
to the florisl and those who have to provide lowering
plant.- during the dull months of the year. Variety is
a matter of paramount importance. The varieties I
mention are all more "i less new introductions Erom
China Imt some have already abundantly proved their
wort !i a- h mil c flowering plants.

Jasminum primulinum is undoubtedly one of t tie
finest greenhouse plants in existence. For the florist
it is a plant of great value and for all forms of decora-
tive work has a great future before it. In its native
habitat this jasmine creates a wonderful display and
in this country it can be grown verj successfully in the
open cither as a bush or wall shrub where il is not sub-
jected to more than fifteen degrees of frost and cold
winds are not likely to prove a disadvantage.

Propagation is verj simple from cuttings taken, if
possible, with a heel attached and inserted in a sandy
compost. These can be taken ai any time when growth
is active. As soon as well rooted they should be potted
off singly into small pots and the most suitable size
for flowering them in for decorative purposes will be
three and five-inch, using a compost of loam, decayed
leaf-mold and .-and. During the summer months the
plants can be grown outside, bringing them in aboui the
end of October wben the growths will be in good con-
dition for flowering.

'Two other great additions to our winter-flowering
plants are Buddleia officinalis and 13. asiatica, both of
which come from the East, where they are well-known
and highly appreciated. Their cultural requirement -
are the same a- advised for .lasminum but five or six-
inch pots will be the best size to flower them in and
after placing in a warm greenhouse I hey will respond
well to liberal feeding and flower more freely if pot-
bound. The foliage of B. officinalis adds much to its
attractiveness, both this and the stems being covered
with dense white hairs. The flowers are produced in
narrow racemes at the end of the main stems and also
from the numerous side branches. These are lilac in
color with an orange eye and very sweetly scented. The
-aine remarks apply to B. asiatica with one important
difference — the flowers are pure white and also delirious-
ly fragrant. Both of these make attractive plants for
pot culture and their value for cut flower work is en-
hanced by the great leu time they remain in good
i ondition.

Deutzias have alwi □ among the most popular

of shrubs for forcing and among the new Chinese in-
troductions we have some mosl welcome additions. D.
Wilsonii, a large pure white flower, is the finest of all,
with gracefully arching stems along which the flowers
are produced with great freedom. D. discolor major
has been used for forcing quite largely, though not com-
mon here yet. This also has white flowers and the long
arching sprays are particularly valuable for cut work.
other new sp om China include some with rose-

colored flowers and these when plentiful are sure to be
much appreciated. In growing Deutzias for winter-
flowering it should be remembered that the principal
factors arc a restricted rooting area, well ripened wood
and very gentle forcing.

Loropetalum chinense

Medium - ed shrubs that can be made to flower dur-
ing the dull winter months are of great value for decora-
tive work. The difficult] is that the trade arc addicted
to working on similar lines and so few are willing and
courageous enough to break fresh ground. The system
in vogue produces keen and Legitimate competition but
it so limits the variety of the output that there is a
decided sameness everywhere in florists' windows and
market s.

The subject of this note is not a new plant: on the
contrary, it is quite an old plant but it is seldom seen
and by no means appreciated at its proper worth. It is
nol hardj and will only bear with impunity a few de-
grees of frost. For fori Lng il should be grown in pots
and after flowering given a short rest, then pruned light
ly, repotted and grown on in moderate heat. About
mid-June plunge outside. A fair amount of sun, re-
stricted root-room, plenty of water and iced are the
essential-. Eouse the plants before the early frosts
set in and keep well up near the light. By regulating
the temperature the plant can be had in flower con-
tinuously fr Christmas to March.

Though closely allied to the witch-hazel this plant
its long strap shaped pure white petal- superficially re-
sembles the Chinese fringe-tree (Chionanthus retusus).
Every short and tiny twig terminates in a cluster of
snow-white flowers. So profusely are these flowers
borne thai thej almost hide the small, neat foliage.
The flowers lasi well, and the plant withstands a fair
amount of rough ti lis well adapted for con-

ion and general decorative work.
Loropetalum chinense is native of rocky places in
eastern and central China, between sea-level and 2,500
iltitude, where it forms a twiggy, much-branched,
ergreen bv ' to 5 feet tall. It was introduced
to cultivation by the late Charles Maries, about 1860.

For the seventh time Horticulture
Our seventh presents its annual holiday number,
anniversary funy conscious of its many shortcom-
ings, yet not without a certain amount
of pride which we feel is pardonable and which we be-
lieve our readers will be ready to excuse after they have
looked through its pages. When "the Boston paper"
entered the already well-occupied field of horticul-
tural journalism seven years ago, it was with a full
realization on the part of its promoters of the long up-
hill task ahead and the many obstructions and hin-
drances that it must expect to find blocking its path.
But we thought we could discern in the dim outlook a
path which, courageously and patiently followed, would
eventually lead to success and an honorable position in
the estimation of those whose interests we sought to
advance.

And so the uphill climb was begun.

On a Convinced that an imitation or du-

secure footing plication of the style and methods

of existing journals would be almost
suicidal, it was determined from the outset that Hor-
ticulture would be different and would, at least, aim
to be a better exponent, if possible, of the spirit and pur-
pose of American horticulture than its contemporaries.
How far this aim has been achieved we leave to each
one of our readers to decide for himself, but there's en-
couragement, at least, in the fact that the obstacles
which loomed ahead and which even some of our best
friends regarded as almost insurmountable were one
after the other overcome — and today after seven years
of "hammering away," Horticulture finds itself se-
cure in its footing and nobody disposed to openly ques-
tion its permanency or its usefulness.

What has been accomplished thus far
Where towards gaining the confidence and

credit belongs practical support of the horticultural
industries of our country is not all
apparent on the surface, but in our periodical special
numbers, of winch the present issue is a good example,
it crops out in unmistakable quality as anyone who
turns to its well-filled advertising pages or carefully
selected reading articles will realize. All this has been
made possible, not through any especial ability on our
own part but primarily because of the generous and
indulgent attitude of the trade extended unfalteringly
from the beginning. It is only right that we should
make this acknowledgment here and, as far as lies in
our power, see to it that the liberality and enterprise of
the advertising firms whose patronage make this special
issue possible is well rewarded in direct increased busi-
ness returns. And those of our readers who can see
their way clear to turn in some good trade to the houses
herein represented will, in doing so, confer upon this
paper a lasting, far-reaching and deeply-appreciated
favor which, we doubt not, will prove to have also been
equally advantageous to themselves.

November Chrysanthemums.
The National Chrysanthemum So-
clety's November show al the Crystal

Palace attracted many meritorious en-
tries and numerous appreciative vis-
itors. The Immense glass house was

brilliant with the mass of blooms. The
trade section was particularly strong
In a central position a bold group oi
chrysanthemums was arranged by li.
H. Jones, Ltd., of Lewisham. The so-
ciety awarded a large gold medal. A
similar award was made to Norman
Davis, of Framfleld, Sussex, who has
Introduced a number of popular va-
rieties. Amongst the novelties shown
by Mr. Davis was Charles Dickens, a
fine single of a golden yellow tint.
This received a first-class certificate.
In a class for twelve bunches of dis-
budded chrysanthemums as grown for
market there were many creditable
displays, showing the high standard
tin commercial growers have reached.
A splash of bright color was added by
the new zonal pelargoniums exhibited
by W. H. Page, of Tangley Nurseries,
Hampton. The classes for table deco-
rations were well filled, and furnished
an artistic addition to the show. The
baskets of autumn foliage and fruit
with the tasteful blending of the tints
and splendid finish were noticeable
features.

Some New Additions.

There appears to be no limit to the
raising of novelties. The list of va-
rieties is getting perplexing and a
weeding out process is evidently need-
ed to keep this within reasonable lim-
its. At the show above referred to a
big batch of novelties came up for
the floral committee's consideration.
In thirteen instances awards were
made; in a number of other cases the
committee expressed the wish to see
them again. Those receiving awards
were as follows: Yellow Caprice, a
sport from Caprice du Printemps;
Heston Bronze, light bronze Japanese;
Celia, bright yellow single; Mrs. Per-
cy E. Wiseman, incurved, primrose
tint; Mrs. John Peed, bright yellow
single; White Beauty, white large-
red single; Caterham Bronze,
bronzy terra-cotta; R. G. Burge, white
large-flowered single; Charles Dickens,
golden yellow single; .Mrs. Andrew-
Walker, a chestnut sport from Freda
Bedford, a decorative market kind;
Dorothy Dann, terra-cotta single; .Miss
Margaret Walker, a bronze single;

A Criticism of French Gardening.

Sometime ago the Loudon u
Press gavi system of in-

tensive culture a big boom. Under the
picturesque title of "Golden Soil"
some alluring word pictures were
given ei the money-making potentiali-
ties of this method of production. In
recent times a more level-headed
view of the system has been put for-
ward by practical men, giving a le
rosy estimate of the financial side.
At a recent meeting of the Bourne-
mouth Gardeners' Association a lee
ture was given by Mr. E. Harris,
raising the important question: "Will
the French intensive culture system
become popular in England?" The
lecturer adopted a negative attitude.
He pointed out the different condi-
tions which obtained in France, where
there was a greater demand for early
salads.

The French growers for generations
had become accustomed to this system,
the father being succeeded by the
sun in the work. Another important
factor was that in France a plentiful
supply of straw was available, whilst
coal was not so abundant. In Eng-
land they had plenty of coal, conse-
quently the English grower was able
to go in largely for raising grapes
and the more expensive kinds of fruit
with the aid of hot water pipes. In
the course of the discussion, the gen-
eral opinion expressed by the mem-
bers was that the French system
would never be extensively adopted in
England for commercial purposes, but
as supplementary to our usual method
of forcing, principally in private gar-
dens.

Chrysanthemum Matters.
The members of the Scottish Horti-
cultural Association have been voting
on the twelve best early chrysanthe-
mums. The following were placed
first: Goacher's Crimson, White Maid.
Llllie, Polly, Nina Blick, Abercorn
Beauty, Lesley, Elstob Yellow, Hector,
Carrie, Diana, and Horace Martin.

F. A. Miller.
F. A. Miller, seedsman, of Kruitvale,
Cal., died suddenly on November 18.
He had been engaged in the tree and
6hrub seed business tor forty years
or more, his business covering the
United States and foreign countries.

Wellington Hughes.
Wellington Hughes, proprietor of
the Hillsdale City Greenhouses, Hills-
dale Mich., died on November 18,
aged 79 years. He was born in Utica,
N. Y., and settled in Hillsdale in 1848,
following the vocation of florist for
forty years. He is survived by a
widow and two children.

Robert Snodgrass Tabb.
On November 26 Robert Snodgrass
Tabb, for many years bookkeeper for
Nanz & Neuner, florists, died at his
home, 1112 South Floyd street, Louis-
ville, Ky. He was born in Berkeley
county, West Virginia, but resided in
Louisville for forty years, being in
the employ of Nanz & Neuner during
that time.

Robert Bottomley, Jr.
Robert Bottomley, Jr., died on Nov.
23, at Saranac Lake, N. V., where he
went for his health on June 1st, aged
31 years. Up to the time he left for
Saranac Lake he was head gardener
for Mr. Chas. E. Diefenthaler, New
Canaan, Conn., a position which he
had filled for four years. His father,
Robert Bottomley. who is superinten-
dent of Brush Ridge Farm, New
Canaan, Conn., was with him for a
few days before his death and brought
his body to New York, where he was
buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. Robert
Bottomley, Sr., will be remembered by
many who participated in the Ashe-
ville" Convention of the S. A. F. with
grateful appreciation of the courtesies
extended by him, assisted by his son,
at Biltmore, N. C, where he waa
superintendent at that time, and the
sympathy of till will go out to him
now in his hour of bereavement.

Barnabas Eldredge.

Barnabas Eldredge of Belvidere, 111.,
was better known as the president of
the National Sewing Machine Co. than
as a florist, but here in Chicago he
was known also as a successful florist,
who in his weekly visits here, made
many friends.

On the afternoon of November 28th,
Mr. Eldredge was found in his room at
the Greal Northern Hotel in a dying
i passed away of heart
failure, to which he was subject, and
to which he had nearly succumbed
ten days before. Barnabas Eldredge
was born June 19, 1843, in Munson, O.,
iiood was spent upon a
farm and where he learned to love
nature so much that his success In a
great factory was followed by a ven-
ture in the greenhouse business later
in lit of the trade sent floral

offerings from Chicago, and the
funeral fiom the late home was very
largely attended. Mr. Eldredge la
survived by his wife, and his remains
were placed in a mauseleum beside
those of his only son, Franklin P.,
who died one year ago.

DESTROYING INSECTS UNDER GLASS

BY W. F. MASSEY.

Those of u.s who have worked under
glass a good part of our lives know
the bother and worry of tobacco fu-
migation tor the aphides and the stale
odor oi everything In the house re-
sulting therefrom. Then, after all, it
is hut a temporary check and we have
to go through the same thing another
1 suppose that we will always
eontinue to use tobacco in some form
tor the aphides, but there are so many
other pests in the greenhouses thai
are not affected by the tobacco smoke
that it is important to have something
to destroy these as well as the aphides.

By careful syringing we can keep
reasonably free from red spider on
many things, but there are crops un-
der class, like tomatoes, which do not
like overhead spraying, and if the un-
derfoot moisture is not well main-
tained, these may get infested with the
mites.

Then it is well known to florists that
there are many ferns that object to
water on their fronds and which also
are damaged by tobacco smoke, and
it has been a matter of discussion
whether, in fumigating with tobacco,
we should syringe first or after fumi-
gating. I have heard gardeners insist
that plants would be damaged if not
syringed before fumigating. The fact
is that it makes little difference wheth-
er they are wet or dry, for some plants
will not be damaged by smoke under
either conditions, while other plants
will suffer somewhat, whether sprayed
or not.

Then there are insects that infest the
frames and tobacco fumigation is a
different matter in a frame, and while
tobacco fumes are a specific against
aphides, the red spider does not mind
them and the white fly is unharmed,
and the sow bugs that infest the or-
chids are not hurt. What is needed is
a deadly fumigation that penetrates
every place and is destructive to every
form of animal life in the house while
not injurious to the plants. No fumigat-
ing material has been discovered which
meets these requirements as well as
l he cyanogen or hydro-cyanic acid gas,
formed by the combination of sul-
phuric acid with cyanide of potassium.
When sulphuric acid is added to cy-
anide of potassium, or rather when
the cyanide is placed in the sul-
phuric acid, there is a complete decom-
position and the cyanogen is set free,
while the sulphuric acid unites with
the potash and falls in a powder, form-
ing the sulphate of potash which every
cultivator knows is valuable as a fer-
tilizer in the soil.

Seme have claimed advantages for
sodium cyanide for use with sulphuric
acid for fumigating purposes. But I
can see no advantage in its use, but
many disadvantages. The cyanogen
at. d from a given quantity of po-
tassium cyanide can be produced at a
lower cost than a similar amount from
sodium cyanide.

It is true that it is claimed that it

takes 132 kilograms of potassium cyan-
ide to generate the same volume of
gas as is contained in 100 kilograms
of sodium cyanide. I say "contained"
in it. because the difficulty comes in
making a complete decomposition in
the acid. Sodium sulphate rapidly
forms on the mass and hardens and en-
closes a portion of the sodium cyanide
so that the sulphuric acid will not act
upon it.

When potassium cyanide is added to
sulphuric acid, the sulphate of potas-
sium that is formed tails in a powder
and the decomposition of the cyanide
is complete, the cyanogen escapes into
the air to accomplish its deadly work,
and till that is left is of value to the
cultivator, while if the sodium cyan-
ide is used, the resulting sodium sul-
phate is absolutely useless to vegeta-
tion. In the one case the operator
saves a valuable by-product and in the
other he gets less gas and a by-product
worthless for farm or garden pur-
poses.

To the vegetable grower under glass
it seems to me that this cyanogen fu-
migation is especially valuable. It is
hard to rid a crop of lettuce even of
aphides with tobacco smoke without
spoiling the quality of the lettuce,
and when once the green caterpillars
infest the lettuce, there is no way in
which they can be at once effectually
destroyed better than by a good fumi-
gation. The fumigation of a frame is
even easier than that of a greenhouse,
since the operator is already outside
and only has to raise a sash, drop the
cyanide and close the sash, while any
one who has tried to fill a cold frame
with tobacco smoke knows how hard
it is to do it.

Some plants with rough or hairy
leaves are sometimes injured by the
fumigation. I have seen a statement
in a bulletin from one of the Experi-
ment Stations that this gas will not
destroy mature insects, nor scale. If
this was true, there would be little use
in the fumigation of dormant nursery-
stock. The fact is that dormant trees
and leafless plants can stand a longer
fumigation than plants in a growing
state. Fumigation in tight quarters
is certainly the most penetrating reme-
dy and misses less than spraying.

For fumigation of nursery stock the
house where the work is done should
be made as nearly gas-tight as possi-
ble. For each 100 cubic feet of space
there will be needed one ounce of po-
tassium cyanide,, one and a quarter
fluid ounces of sulphuric acid and three
ounces of water. Place the water and
sulphuric acid in a deep stone crock,
or wide-mouth open jar. Break the
potassium cyanide into pieces the size
of a marble and pour them into the
crock and shut the door as quickly as
possible. If the fumes are left on the
trees an hour, every insect and even
the San Jose scale will be destroyed.

The fumigation of hot houses needs
more care. For each 100 cubic feet of
space in the house use half an ounce of
potassium cyanide, six-tenths of an
ounce of sulphuric acid and one and a
half fluid ounces of water. Select a
moderately mild night and use the acid
and cyanide soon after sundown and

the house and air it out by nine
or ten i 'cli

The following is recommended for
the white By and lettuce aphis: For
each 1000 feet cubic space use one-
fourth ounce of the potassium cyanide,
three-tenths of an ounce of sulphuric
acid and three-quarters of an ounce of
water. Make the gas soon after sunset
and leave the house closed all night.
In airing out the house after fumiga-
tion, open all doors from the outside
and let the air pass through for some
time, before entering to open the ven-
tilators.

In large greenhouses it is best to
have a row of jars with operators to
run each way and drop cyanide as they
pass the jars toward the doors, plac-
ing a jar for each 1000 cubic feet of
space in the house. Where houses are
built on the ridge and furrow plan and
open to each other, about the only
way will be to have a jar in each sec-
tion, about midway, and a man to drop
the cyanide and hasten to the door in
each house.

By having the cyanide in little
cheesecloth bags attached to a cord
running through a staple overhead, a
man can stand some distance away and
drop the cyanide and get out and close
the door in a long house.

PINES.

About 48 per cent, of the total lum-
ber output of the United States in 1908
was pine, showing how important to
the lumber industry of the country the
37 species of pine grown in the United
States area.

No one species grows in all the
states, yet, with perhaps one exception,
no State is without one or more. Some
occupy large regions in considerable
abundance, while others are so scarce
that few persons ever see and recog-
nize them. Yet no species of pine is
so scarce that it is not made in some
way to serve man's need.

Four important timber trees of the
southeastern United States are usually
grouped as one in the lumber markets
and are sold under the common name
of yellow pine. They are the long-
leaf pine, short-leaf pine, loblolly pine,
and Cuban pine. While in appearance
the woods of these four trees are so
nearly alike that it is sometimes dif-
ficult to distinguish one from the other,
still in some particulars, there is con-
siderable difference.

Although the long leaf pine, white
pine, western yellow pine, western
white pine, and the loblolly produce
most of the pine lumber manufactured
in the United States, the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture in Forest Service
Bulletin No. 99, considers each species
separately, giving in detail, its physi-
cal properties, the supply, its early
uses, manufacture and products; and
in the case of the more important spe-
cies, specifies the more important uses
to which it is put. The places which
some species occupy are very humble,
and they can never rise much in the
scale of usefulness, yet each one is en-
tith d to its own individuality.

FOUR MORE CHRYSANTHEMUM NOVELTIES.

This is an American variety, a seedling of Col. Apple-
ton, :ind is of the same color. The foliage much resem-
bles the parent in the way it comes right up to the flower
and the stem is perfectly stiff. Colonel Appleton is about

many of the commercial growers are throwing it out.

HORTICULTURE

December 9, 1911

While on the subject of pests, an-
other matter which needs the greatest
attention is the growing of tomatoes,
and the sale of those which are sim-
ply masses of blight, and if the sani-
tary authorities took one-quarter of
the trouble to control the sale of dis-
eased and blighted tomatoes that they
do to see that ice creams are pure, a
great deal of illness would be saved.
Quite ninety per cent, of the tomatoes
sold in Boston and other markets,
would in England be condemned by
the market inspectors, as unfit for
human food. Starting from where
they have come off the stem, they are
mostly cracked, and each crack is full
of the fungus from the diseases
known as black stripe and black spot,
while the whole fruit is often covered
with yellow patches, which under the
skin extends almost like a blister, and
is known as spodium, another poison-
ous disease. Besides this one finds
ilomatoes exposed for sale which are
•soft and flabby to the hand— this is
.known as sleep disease, and the fruit
should be destroyed, not eaten. The
whole method of growing tomatoes in
America is incorre'ct and should be un-
dertaken in a scientific manner which
would be vastly more profitable to the
grower than it is at present. In the
first place, no tomato-house should be
more than eight feet high at the eaves,
and from fifteen to seventeen feet at
the ridge. The sides and ends should
be glass. The ventilators should be at
the side as well as the roof, the roof
tntilators being alternately right and
t throughout the length of the
jse. If it is found impossible to re-
new the soil in the house each year,
the soil should be thoroughly w-atered
vrith a strong solution of caustic soda
an.d water, and the inside structure of
the house should be thoroughly syr-
Ingi d with the same solution, and
thoroughly scrubbed with soft soap
and hot water. The house should
then be left for a fortnight until it is
time to prick in the seedling plants,
but before doing this it is imperative
that the soil in the house should be
thoroughly well watered with hose
pipe, so as to wash down deep into
the soil the caustic soda with which
It had been watered a fortnight pre-
viously. As regards the management
ol the seed; no advantage is gained, in
fact it is very dangerous to grow from
one's own seed, or to grow two years
running the same variety.

The variety selected should be one
that produces fruit which weighs from
five to six tomatoes to the pound. The
seed should be planted in seed pans
or trays, the soil having been previous-
ly sterilized at a heat of about 250
degrees, which will kill all living par-
asites and destroy any eggs that might
hatch out. This gives the seed a
chance from the first, each seed should
be planted by hand, an inch apart, and
not sown broadcast, like mustard and
cress. This method enables the gar-
dener, when the time of transplanting
comes, to lift each plant without dis-
turbing the root. If the grower has
not absoluti Ij new- thumb pots to

plant in, fresh from the kiln, he should
string his thumb pots on wire, in lots
of one hundred and put them for ten
minutes into boiling caustic water,
the crocks for the bottoms being simi-
larly treated. If this is not done, no
good results can be obtained. Only
sterilized soil should be used in trans-
planting from seed boxes to thumb
pots and if some wood charcoal, say
25 per cent, can be mixed with the soil,
it will enormously repay the grower.
Seedlings treated in this way are ab-
solutely free from club root, eelworm
and thrip.

When the seedlings are from four
to five inches high they should be
taken to a house which has been pre-
pared as above and planted in double
rows, each plant being fifteen inches
apart in the rows, and the second row
should be twelve inches from the first,
the plants in the two rows being al-
ternate. The interval between the
double row and the next should be
from one yard to one and one-fourth
yards. This will give the plants plen-
ty of air, and will leave sufficient
space for the grower to move about
freely without damaging the plants
when gathering.- If it is desirable to
use bamboo stakes to which to train
the plants, they should be put in the
same day as the seedlings; if, how-
ever, it is decided to use string, this
can be done as the plant requires sup-
port. There is only one method of
growing tomatoes successfully, and
that is on a single lead or stem. They
should be side-shooted from the very
beginning and no side shoot should be
left on the ground, when it has been
taken off. The gardeners should wear
aprons with pockets, into which to put
them, or else carry baskets, but to
leave them on the ground is fatal as
it sets up blight and disease. Top air
should be given on every available oc-
casion, and no watering should ever
be done after nine o'clock in the
morning. Should the plants flag from
excessive heat the roof and sides
should be sprayed on the outside with
thin lime wash, and all possible doors
and ventilators stould be opened. Un-
less the weather is extremely, cold, top
air should be given in moderation at
night. As soon as any plant reaches
six feet in height it should be stopped
by nipping out the centre top. In ty-
ing up tomato plants care should be
taken to have the raffia tight around
the support, so that it cannot slip, and
then a loop round the stem with plenty
of play, so as to allow room for the
stem to swell. If the bottom trusses
are too thickly fruited, it is. advisable
to thin the fruit to six on a truss.

All trusses should be held up with
raffia, or their own weight may make
them snap off at the shoulder. They
should never be tied to the growing
stem, but to the support. The best
method of feeding tomato plants is as
follows: Boil in a copper, or cooker,
cow dung with a mixture of soot and
a small quantity of pei manganate of
potash, say one pound to 100 gallons of
cow dung; dilute this mixture with
water as you use it, in the proportion
of one gallon of mixture to ten of
water, and water the plants, only at

the root, twice a week. In watering
plants in a greenhouse, never water
the foliage under any conditions. If
any signs of blight, such as yellow
spodium, black stripe or rotting steins,
is noticed, or a plant sickening from
some unaccountable cause, which ife
sleepy disease, the only thing to do is
to carefully remove the plant "as soon
as it is noticed and to bum it, as the
chances against its recovery are very
small, and these diseases spread from
plant to plant very rapidly; the place
from which the plant has been taken
should have the soil dug out and
taken right away to the sterilizer and
fresh soil and a fresh plant should b£
brought into the house to take thp
place of the plant which has been re-
moved. After the six bottom trusseb
on each plant have been gathered, on£
side shoot on each plant should be al-
lowed to grow and not be removeq,
and by the time it has .reached foujr
feet all the trusses on the main leaa
should have ripened and beeu taken
off. The old stem should then be est
down to the point from which the new
lead starts and the new stem tied into
place. W:hen.the new' ".lead has from
four to five, trusses set it is time to
take out the top, which will make it
throw out larger fruit. It is an unwise
plan to defoliate in the first and sec-
ond leads until the fruit is set; then
the foliage should be reduced oneT
half, and as the fruit ripens tire
leaves should be reduced to two leaves
on each leaf shoot. If during the
growing the roots of the plants show
above the ground, fresh soil should be
brought into the house to cover them
and they should be banked up. No fall-,
en fruit should ever be allowed to re-;
main on the ground, but should be
taken away and burned, and no weeds,
should ever be allowed in a tomato;
house. If only growers would take,
the precautions mentioned above. we>
should see none of the diseased fruit
that we see at the present time. As;
regards the cost of this method, it has;
been proved over and over again that'
this is the only way to make tomatoes':
pay: Take, for instance, a house;
which will hold 4000 plants, planted as;
above. This house will require twoj
men and four boys (say) to look after-
it, and they could iiroduce from each.,
plant ten trusses, each weighing'
from one to two pounds. Their duties
would be, first, each morning toj
water, then to gather all ripe fruit and-
take them to the grading-house,.
where they will be sorted by women',
or boys under supervision; their next)
duty would be to thoroughly go-
through every row and carefully side-
shoot each plant. This work should
all be completed by mid-day, and then
these men and boys would be avail-;
able for other work about the nur-
sery. By this method of intense cul-
tivation each plant should produce,
twenty pounds of really good, sound
fruit, so that a house with 4000 plants
should produce S0.000 pounds (or forty.
tons of tomatoes. This should be
a very paying indust y and well
worth the attention of mar et-growers.

U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.

SYNOPSIS OF THE SECRETARY'S REPORT.

The Fifteenth Annual Report ol
the Secretary oi Agriculture, made
public this week, begins with a si
of short paragraphs of much national
importance. A few of them are re-
printed below:

Brief Comments.

Would it be asking too much of our
universities to have them educate
more plant pathologists and road en-
gineers?

Every country in the world that has
diseased plants that can not be sold
at home can ship them to us. This re-
sults in great loss. The chestnut di-
sease here is an illustration.

Ater years of experimentation we
find we can grow Egyptian cotton in
Southern California and bulbs in the
State of Washington.

The finest dates from the Sahara
Desert succeed in our Southwest.

No seed is sent out from this depart-
ment without being tested for germi-
nation condition.

The schools want more of our pub-
lications than we have to give them.

The day is not far distant when we
will cease to import potash.

A serious pest in the South is the
crayfish; carbon bisulphid is a sure
remedy.

We are sending explorers to the
ends of the earth for new plants — and
getting them.

The phosphates are abundant in our
country for all possible uses. Florida,
Kentucky, Tennessee, and Idaho may
be mentioned as depositories.

If good roads from the producer to
the consumer were general, the bene-
fits to both would be considerable.

When a foreign insect invades, our
scientists seek its enemy where it
came from. The natural enemy of
the boll weevil was an ant that could
aot endure our winters, but the na-
tive ant is getting busy.

The experiment stations of the sev-
eral states are doing better work each
succeeding year, the scientists are ma-
turing, and the people are appreciat-
ing.

• Our systems of renting land are
faulty and result in soil robbing;
•where the renter can not provide
domestic animals, the owner should
arrange to furnish them, so that rota-
tion of crops may be had, and hay and
grains may be fed on the farm.

Irrigation will bring maximum crops
•while the land is new and full of
plant food; but where the crops are
sold year by year irrigation will not
of itself assure good results.

Alaska will some day provide farm-
ers in lower latitudes with grain seeds
superior to what they can grow at
home.

The corn crop is moving northward
hy seed selection.

Save all the liquid fertilizers on the
farm, in cisterns, to be applied where
crops are to grow; this will recover
the greatest farm waste of our times.

There is great promise in the fact
that whole classes of graduates of
agricultural colleges go back to the
farms, having learned how to make
them profitable.

Our foresti rs ai e lean -.peri-

nients how to reforest 30, acres in

a year; 10 times as much must be
planted annually to cover all the bar.'
acres in a generation. It will be done.

The potato crop of 282,000,000 bushels
is about 90 per cent of the a-
production, but the farm price lias in-
creased to such an extent that the
■ total value of the crop is the highest
of record and amounts to $213,000,000.

Forest Pathology.

On account of their important rela-
tion to reforestation, damping off and
other diseases of forest-tree seedlings
have received special attention. The
results of the past season's work have
confirmed the previous reports of abso-
lute success in controlling the serious
"blight" of coniferous seedlings by
slight and perfectly practical^
in the management of water supply and
shade. For two seasons past the use
of sulphuric acid in preventing the
damping-off of coniferous seedlings in
the Forest Service nursery at Halsey,
Nebr., has been successful. If these
results are confirmed by work in other
localities and other years, damping-off
so far as coniferous seedlings are con-
cerned, will cease to be an uncontrol-
lable factor in reforestation. The use
of sulphuric acid as a soil fungicide or-
iginated in this department, as re-
ported in previous publications.

It is unfortunate that at this time,
when interest in reforestation is at its
height, we should knowingly import a
destructive European nursery disease.
Yet this appears to be the case. The
white-pine blister rust, referred to in
previous reports, is unquestionably
still being imported. All importations
that could be located have been In-
spected and all visibly diseased trees
destroyed, but there are no means of
locating all importations. The import-
ation of white-pine seedlings should be
flatly prohibited, as the damage which
this disease can do, and probably will
do, if once established in America, is
•out of all proportion to the value of all
white-pine seedlings ever imported or
ever likely to be.

Diseases of Fruits.

Apple spraying experiments and
demonstrations were conducted in sev-
eral widely separated districts, and It
was again shown that lime-sulphur
properly diluted is a more satisfactory
fungicide for certain apple diseases
than Bordeaux mixture. However,
owing to the severe weather con-
ditions of the season, the combination
of lime-sulphur and arsenate of lead
caused considerable burning of the
fruit in a few orchards, but this
trouble was not so serious as to dis-
courage the use of this spray.

The grape anthracnose is very de-
structive to both fruit and vine. Cer-
tain varieties in some localities are at-
tacked every year by this disease.
The department has demonstrated the
past season that this malady can be
satisfactorily controlled by proper
spraying of the vines while in a dor-
mant condition. Further confirmation
of previous results in the control of
black-rot of the grape has also been

obtained. Very pron ^ults have

been secured in controlling the anth-
racnose of the cranberry, which has
nnd to be a prevalent cause of
loss in some cranberry districts.
Considerable progress has also been
made in the study and control of other
small-fruit diseases.

Seed-Testing Laboratories.

On account of the provision for seed
' L- made by State laws in North
Carolina and Nebraska, co-operation
with these states has been discon-
tinued, and two new laboratories are
opened in connection with the
ultural experiment stations in
California and Louisiana, the labora-
tories in Missouri, Oregon and Indiana
Dg continued.

Hairy-vetch seed, which has this
year for the first time been collected
for examination for adulterants, was
frequently found to contain seed of
cultivated varieties of spring vetch,
the latter generally being useless for
fall sowing on account of winterkill-
ing. An examination Of the hairy-
vetch seed-growing section of north-
ern Germany and northwestern Russia
shows that on account of the differ-
ence in time of ripening it is impos-
sible to harvest seed of cultivated
forms of spring vetch and hairy vetch
together, the former being used as an
adulterant. The Vicia villosa seed
originating in the Baltic Provinces
occurs as a volunteer in winter rye
and is separated as cleanings from the
rye.

Congressional Seed Distribution.

Seeds and plants were distributed
upon congressional order as in former
years. Between six and seven hun-
dred tons of vegetables and flower
seeds, put up in approximately 60,000,-
000 packets, were distributed the past
season. Of this quantity about 10 per
cent was flower seed and 90 per cent
vegetable seed. Approximately one-
third of the- total quantity was pro-
cured from surplus stocks, and the re-
mainder was grown under contract for
the. department during the current sea-
son. In every case seed was secured
on competitive bids, and no seed was
accepted for distribution unless it was
found after repeated tests to he of sat-
isfactory purity and vitality. Every
lot of seed is tested for germination
two or more times before and ;
shipment, and a sample of each lot is
grown on the trial grounds of the de-
partment under the direct supervision
of expert horticulturists to deterniim'
its trueness to type. Many thousand
pounds of vegetable and flower seeds
which do not meet the requirements of
the department are rejected every
year and returned to the seedsmen by
whom they were shipped. Where
seeds are contracted to be grown for
the department the fields are inspect-
ed at the proper season by specialists,
who see that the plants are uniformly
true to type and that a proper system
of roguing out variations and mixtures
is followed. This system has resulted
in steady improvement in the quality
eds distributed by the department,
as shown by the results obtained on
the trial grounds and by hundreds of

reports from all sections of the coun-
try.

The work of packeting, assembling
and mailing the vegetable and flower
sods was done under contract at a
cost of $1.10% per thousand packets,
which included delivery of the packet-
ed seed in mail sacks direct to the
Union Station. A new contract has
entered into for putting up and
mailing the seeds for the coming
distribution at a savins over the for-
mer contract of 1 cent per thousand
packets.

Home Grown Dutch Bulbs.

The propagation of Dutch bulbs in
the Puget Sound region in connection
with the congressional distribution is
progressing favorably. Trial sets of
narcissus and tulip bulbs propagated
near Bellingham, Wash., were planted
at Washington, D. C, with sets of
bulbs of the same varieties imported
from Holland, and the Bellingham
bulbs produced better blossoms 10
days earlier than the imported bulbs.
The early blooming period of Amer-
ican-grown bulbs is of importance to
all professional florists, because of the
saving in time and fuel where bulbs
are forced for market.

Need for Trained Plant Pathologists.

The growing need for trained plant
pathologists to take up numerous
problems which are now being pre-
sented to this department for solution
is extremely urgent. While the uni-
versities and colleges appear to be do-
ing what they can, it happens usually
in our work that men fresh from col-
lege do not have the requisite outlook
or the necessary training to obtain
practical results in this field. Usually
we have to give them several years of
additional training in order to make
them most serviceable to the advance-
ment of agriculture in these lines.
Every year requests come to us from
the experiment stations and similar
institutions in the United States to
name persons well qualified for ap-
pointment to positions involving plant
pathological research in these various
institutions, and, unfortunately, in a
very considerable number of cases we
have to say that, glad as we would be
to recommend persons, there are none
in sight with the necessary training.
This lack of a sufficient number of
trained pathologists works to the seri-
ous disadvantage of agriculture in this
country. The department would be
glad to have in training an additional
number of young men for such posi-
tions.

Work on the Gipsy Moth and the
Brown-Tail Moth.

The general conditions in that por-
tion of the country originally invaded
by the gipsy moth, that is to say, east-
ern Massachusetts, have been better
during the past year than for many
previous years. This has been due in
part to weather conditions, to the pre-
valence of the wilt disease, to the
gradual increase of parasites imported
from abroad, and to the cumulative
effect of the excellent work done along
roadsides by the Bureau of Entomo-
logy, in certain forests by the State of
Massachusetts, and in the different
towns under municipal and state con-
trol. The conditons in New Hamp-
shire, however, are much worse than
in Massachusetts. Many towns in the

southeastern part of the state are seri-
ously Infested, and the insect occurs
in 125 towns in all. In several of the
northern towns the pest has apparent-
ly been exterminated. In Maine there
has been a further spread, and a new
colony has been found in Rhode
[Bland. The brown-tail moth has es-
tablished itself in the northeastern
part of Connecticut.

The increase and spread of the im-
ported parasites and natural enemies
of both the gipsy moth and the brown-
tail moth has been gratifying, and sev-
eral species have been brought in dur-
ing the past year in large numbers
which the Bureau of Entomology had
not previously been able to secure.
During the summer an imported Japa-
nese egg parasite, which had previ-
ously been thought to have died
out, was recovered in considerable
numbers. An appreciable effect upon
the numbers of the gipsy moth as the
result of parasitic work is beginning
to be noticed.

New studies have been begun of the
feeding habits of the newly hatched
caterpillars of the gipsy moth, and al-
ready it seems that it will probably
be possible to control the gipsy moth
in forested areas by a certain varia-
tion in forest management dependent
upon the feeding habits of the young
caterpillars. This means that the for-
ests of New England, and later other
portions of the country, are not
doomed, and that a good stand of tim-
ber can be maintained even should the
pest increase beyond the ultimate con-
trol of the parasites, and this in itself
is most unlikely.

A SOIL TESTING OUTFIT PRO-
NOUNCED WORTHLESS.

Editor HORTICULTURE:

The Foote Farm Laboratories of
Fredericktown, Ohio, are putting out
what they call the "Foote Soil Testing
Outfit." They are widely advertising
this outfit and offering it to individual
farmers for $10. They also include in
the outfit a copy of my book, "The
Story of the Soil," supposedly as an
added inducement to the purchaser. I
wish to say that I knew nothing of
the Foote Farm Laboratories until we
began to receive inquiries from their
advertisement. We at once ordered an
outfit, including all instructions, and
have thoroughly investigated the out-
fit and the methods by which the
Foote Farm Laboratories claim any
farmer can analyze his soil, — the fol-
lowing quotation being a sample of
their advertising:

"The Foote Soil Testing Outfit is a
complete, practical farm equipment
with which you can readily tell what
plant food each one of your fields
needs and what they already have. It
tells you just what food elements are
in your soil and what is lacking."

A thorough investigation of this out-
fit clearly reveals the fact that it is
absolutely worthless. The so-called
directions for testing soil not only
give no valuable information, but they
are absurd and senseless. The farmer
who pays $10 for the outfit and at-
tempts to use it will have thrown
away both his time and money. I
make this statement because my name
is being used in a way to mislead.

M. A. C. DEMONSTRATION OR-
CHARDS.

The returns for 1911 from the
Demonstration Orchards established
by the Massachusetts Agricultural
College are beginning to come in to
Alvah J. Norman, who has the super-
vision of these Demonstration Or-
chards. He reports that he Is very
much pleased witli the results of the
work for such a dry season. The re-
turns are very interesting in that they
show the possibilities in the way ot
net returns from land planted to or-
chards in Massachusetts.

The prevailing idea is that the man
who plants an orcherd is throwing
away the. use of his land for ten or
fifteen years, before the trees come
into bearing. How very incorrect this
idea is has been well shown from the
returns made by C. W. Maynard, of
Enfield, Massachusetts, who was the
first to make returns for 1911.

The College planted an orchard ot
about 450 trees on Mr. Maynard's
place in May. The cost of preparing
the land, planting the trees and car-
ing for the orchard was, of course,
borne by Mr. Maynard. The trees used
were, in most cases, one-year old, of
the varieties Baldwin, Mcintosh,
Wealthy, Williams Early and Olden-
burg. The entire expense to which Mr.
Maynard was placed, for preparing the
land, about four and one-half acres,
planting the trees, caring for the trees,
planting associated crops and caring
for the same, including cost of seed,
fertilizer and harvesting, all labor
items being charged at prevailing
prices, totaled $118.35. The returns
from the associated crops were as fol-
lows: Red kidney beans, $112; sweet
corn, $56.82; turnips, $12, and the ber-
ries from a small patch of raspber-
ries, which were already in one corner
of the orchard, sold for $26.01; giving
a total income of $206.83, which leaves
a net profit of $88.48 or approximately
$20 per acre, which is not a very small
net return per acre for New England
soil when the whole of the land is de-
voted to one crop.

The year has been a very hard one
on the orchard and associated crops.
The orchard was planted a little late,
delaying the planting of the associated
crops, which caused them to be slight-
ly injured by the early frost. The or-
chard is planted on rather light land
which, together with late planting and
extreme drouth, did not lead those in
charge to expect much growth the first
year. Mr. Norman stated when the
trees were planted that he would be
satisfied if half of the trees would live
in case of a dry season. The dry sea-
son certainly came but only 10 per
cent of the trees failed to come
through the season, while some of the
trees sent out several strong branches,
some of which measured 40 inches.
The average length of the new branch-
es is nearly 25 inches. The average
diameter of the trees is about five-
eighths of an inch.

Next spring new trees will be
planted in place of the dead ones and
those which seem stunted. In another
year the trees will be large enough to
make the orchard a very pretty sight.
It is expected that, apples will be
picked from the trees the fourth sea-
son. Mr. Maynard will be glad to
show the orchard to any who wish to
see what orchards can be made to do
in that section.

DEVELOPING AND IMPROVING
THE DAHLIA

The following interesting letter from
Alex Marl,. 'li. tn lia - Iioea held back
in our office unl 11 Mi I tel i her should
have opportunity to further explain
his views on thf dahlia Question as
given in a previous issue of 110RT1-
i'1'i/i'i i;k. Mr. Betscher's latest
communication is now appended. As
both the gentlemen are influenced, as
we believe, solely by a desire to pro-
mote the common good we are pleased
to give space to their letters in lull
and our columns are open to any one
who may have pertinent views on the
question to which they would like to
gi\e publicity.

Editor HORTICULTURE:

Dear Sir — It was with considerable
interest that I read your editorial on
page 65S, issue of Nov. 11, on the
Dahlia, also the communication of
your correspondent, C. Betscher, on
page 663, and it is to the hitter's in-
sinuations that dealers are dishonest
that I wish to take exception, for as a
rule, it will be found that dealers are
honest, if for no other reason that it
does not pay to be otherwise. And as
an honest man, why does not your cor-
rcspondent give the name of the good-
for-nothing dahlia of which he has
1,250 plants, so that the trade may be
warned.

The dahlia is as we all know, true
to its name "Variable." and a variety
which may do nothing one season may
be excellent the next and vice versa.
There are varieties, however, that can
almost be depended on to give good
results every season.

And in breeding and selecting from
this most variable yet beautiful and
useful family of plants, let us keep
the words of your editorial before us
and "Develop it in the qualities of

Editor HORTICULTURE:

Regarding Mr. MacLellan's dahlia
symphony, 1 maintain that when we
send out sons that do not bloom rea-
sonably early ami in 'h over a wide
area we disappoint and
buyer. He drops dahlias and we are
all losers in consequence When one
buys ten "newest and best" dahlias at
50 cents per, richly described, beauti-
fully illustrated, grows them two sea-
sons without getting a crop and then
inquiring of five growers at widely
distant points, finds each has had a
common experience, have we not a
good and sufficient reason to "insin-

uate ' We think so. We should
thoroughly t> ii t ort I tie-

old as well i in different to

and if it is a faili near

failure in eaeh place it should be
dropped, or where a soil is purely a
local sort it should be so noted. I find
the sorts that do well in Ohio, are a
success with all of my correspondents;
again, those that arc without value
here art tin same at other places with
very feu exceptions.

Let us take Arabella. Sylvia, Coun-
tess of Lonsdale, as the basis of the
highest type, how many dahlias can
compare with them? if we had a plant
like Orange King, freedom of Sylvia,
eailiness of Arabella, richness of Rene
Cayeaux, size of Douzon or Lonsdale,
stems and tuber of Queen Victoria,
all in one, we would have a grand
ideal. Calmly surveying my work for
the past four years, I am forced to the
conclusion that our dahlia breeders
are not bleeding right nor are tiny
bringing together right unions. I say
this because I have been able to breed
gladioli quite to the quest sought.

I can see a great future in store for
better early free-blooming dahlias.
An- way, let us all follow up higher
ideals until we achieve them, but let
the spirit of "why" enter into every
avenue, lane and path of our common
interests— grower, dealer and planter
alike. Eet it be broad building. If
the growers do not put the dahlia far
in the forefront and compel people to
want them for their merit alone, our
clientele cannot; they are at our
mercy. Unfortunately, dealers and
jobbers demand stock at prices so low
that quality is bound to suffer.

Each grower must measure from his
own experience. The person growing
for a small area tan easilj select a list
for his limits, but let him grow for
broad acres and diversity of interests
and perforce his views must be dif-
ferent. Think it over, brotl er, and
see if I am not right. The
too, in every field of horticulture, all
ought to do more and better work.

Glad, indeed, are we that Mr. Pat-
terson's early crop of paper whites
showed a profit. It was because of
the repeated instances which came to
our knowledge of loss to the grower
which led us to discourage, as far as
we could, the haste shown by so many
forcers to rush their crop before the
market was in a receptive mood. As

NEW BOOK BY WILHELM MILLER.

in "What England Can Teach Us
About Gardening," Dr. Miller has
placed the American horticulturists
undei no small obligation. Dr. Miller

■ pent some considerable time among
the English gardens studying and
forming his conclusions, which he has
now given to the world, us to whj
English gardens are the most beauti-
ful in existence and what may be
learned from them which is applicable
to American conditions.

The author expresses his convic-
tions without reserve — "from the
shoulder." He has much to say and
he says it so forcefully that its lines
fairly teem with suggestiveness and one
might truly say that there is not a
chapter or, indeed, scarcely a page in
the book which does not offer food for
thought and comment far exceeding
the space at our disposal for the intro-
duction to our readers of this volume
of nearly 400 pages.

Among the truest sentiments ex-
pounded are that every country should,
in garden making, use chiefly its own
unlive trees, shrubs, and vines and
other permanent material and let the
style of gardening grow naturally out
of necessity, the soil and the new con-
ditions. He adds "When we stop imi-
tating and do this, America will soon
find herself." Dr. Miller is a garden
if there ever was one. We may
not wholly agree with some of his

1 ods and deductions in making

parisons between the worst fea-

of American gardens and the

best features of- the English, and we

may find ourselves questioning

her some of the English examples

illustrated are really wo of the

beBtowed, but there can be no

question of the author's sincerity or

lie splendid inspiration that "will
be drawn from this practical monu-
ment to his enthusiasm and indomi-
industry. To help toward mak-

\merica one great garden as Eng-
land is; to teach by contrasting the

est ideals that England furnishes
with less noble ideals which now pre-
vail in America; to show how we
millions of dollars on material

bould never buy and on effects we

never imitate; to help
foundations of an American stvie of
aing, and to give the garden
literature more practical and

tul than mere sentimentality and

portant communication will be in or-

importance to the New York Florists'
Club, but to every florists' club in the
State. ,J

ORGANIZATION OF NEW YORK'S
FLORICULTURAL INTERESTS.
New Y'ork stands first among all the
states of the Uuion on the basis of the
importance of her florieultural investments.
Notwithstanding this, she has failed for
the past two years to interest the legisla-
tors at Albany sufficiently to secure an ap-
propriation for the express purpose of pro-
moting the florieultural industry.

The florists of Illinois, by united effort,
have secured appropriations aggregating
$80,000, which have been employed or are
to be used for buildings, equipment, and
to assist investigations in behalf of com-
mercial floriculture. These appropriations
have been secured by concerted, well or-
ganized effort.

In New York the fruit interests are
thoroughly organized and secure con-
tinuous aid from the state. The various
farming industries are also recognized by
legislative assistance, especially designed
to promote their particular features. New
York has a considerable number of live,
hustling florists' clubs. These are in the
main doing splendid work in maintaining
local interest and spreading information re-
garding florieultural practice. There is,
however, little or no co-operation between
these clubs.

Has the time arrived for a federation of
interests? May we not effect a state or-
ganization, to take charge of questions of
state-wide significance? Such a state or-
ganization would in no way supplant the
function of local clubs or societies, but
would lie expected to act more effectively
on all legislative questions and problems
affecting the whole state. The opportuni-
ties for expanding florieultural interests
are great.

Can the florists of the Empire State do
more to bring before the public the de-
sirability of expending greater effort in
beautifying home grounds with flowers and
plants?

Is there opportunity for co-operati m
with civic improvement organizations and
the great school gardening movement?

Are the florists of New York State in-
terested In promoting the next national
flower show to be held in New York City
in 1M3?

Are the florists of the state interested in
the establishment of a florieultural hall at
the State Fair?

Are the florists of the Empire State ready
and willing to throw their influence with a
movement to secure an appropriation for
the erection and equipment of a range of
glass at the State College of Agriculture,
to be devoted exclusively to the solving of
problems In commercial floriculture?

These are some of the problems which
might be effectively assisted by a state or-
ganization.

Is this a subject In which your club is
Interested, and if so. might it not be well
to use it as a text for a discussion at one
of your early meetings?

The Department of Horltcnlture of the
New York State College of Agriculture
stands ready to assist in everv way in it«
power any movement of this kind If

club should be represented by delegate or

FLORISTS' CLUB OF PHILADEL-
PHIA.

December 5th was historical night.
David Rust read a historical narrative
of the foundation and subsequent ca-
reer of this club (the first of its kind
in America) and his story was listened
to with engrossed interest by young
and old alike. The essayist treated his
subject with fine judgment as to the
essential points, and received an ova-
tion at the conclusion. We hope to
have a synopsis of this able essay in
time for our next issue. Robert Craig
followed with a wity and reminiscent
speech in his own inimitable style
which delighted the large audience im-
mensely. He wound up by giving an
earnest and serious word to the young-
er members to support our new presi-
dent, J. Otto Thilow in his progressive
policies for the onward march of the
club so that the future may have equal-
ly glorious records of achievements
and prove equally full of "ginger" to
the record of what they had just been
listening to of the past 27 years. John
Westcott made a feeling address on
the same lines. Adolph Farenwald
was the humorist of the occasion with
his amusing "kicks,' and kept the
house laughing uproariously — mixed
with some words of wisdom. Senator
Heacock and Robert Kift also made
witty and interesting remarks.

A pink chrysanthemum was exhib-
ited by Augustus Diedrich, Wissinom-
ing — a very late-flowering and merito-
rious sort. He wanted a name but no
one ventured. A good report was had
from the various new committees and
they all seem to be now well estab-
lished and in working order. We look
for efficient work from them from now
on. Among visitors from a distance
present were H. L. Holmes, Harris-
burg, and Antoine Leuthy, Boston.

MARYLAND STATE HORTICUL

The big Maryland Week Exposition
at the Fifth Regiment Armory, under
the auspices of this Society, is on this
week. Tuesday was the opening night
and under the efficient management
of Prof. T. B. Symonds, everything
was in good order for the inspection
of the public. Business sessions of
the various agricultural and horticul-
tural bodies are scheduled for every
day of the week until Friday night,
when the event closes with a visit
of southern governors and a banquet
for 350 guests at the Hotel Belvedere.

ILLINOIS STATE HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

The 56th annual convention of the
Illinois State Horticultural Society will
be held in Champaign-L'rbana. Illinois,
December 11 to 16. There will be three
sessions daily. The first two days the
general plan tor the morning and af-
ternoon sessions is a lecture or talk,
followed by questions on the topic.
The evening programs will consist of
lectures illustrated by the stereopti-
con. The last three days of the con-
vention will include the business ses-
sions of the society, as well as many
addresses and papers by men promi-
nent in horticulture in this and other
States. Throughout the entire conven-
tion, the various topics will be handled
by men who are recognized as experts
in their respective lines.

Anyone interested in horticulture in
any way is invited to attend the con-
vention, and participate in the discus-
sions. There are no fees, dues, or
other charges imposed upon those at-
tending.

WESTERN DAHLIA AND GLADI-
OLUS ASSOCIATION.

E. S. Thompson of Benton Harbor,
Mich., has favored us with the follow-
ing invitation and prospectus of the
Bulb Show to be given this month in
Chicago.

Growers of the Dahlia and Gladiolus
in the middle west, especially in the •
states of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan,
and contiguous territory, do not want
to miss the Bulb Show held under the
auspices of the Western Dahlia and
Gladiolus Association, in Chicago,
December 15th and 16th, 1911.

Through the courtesy of the A. L.
Randall Co. the association has been
given, free of charge all the room
needed for display of stock. So come
everyone interested and see what kind
of stocks are and can be raised in the
west. Everybody invited. All mem-
bers of the trade and the amateur
florists would do well to take a few
hours off and come to the show for
general information as to varieties,
etc. Those who grow but a few
Dahlias or Gladiolus for their own
trade are cordially invited to come. A
few hours spent in getting acquainted
with the newer varieties may be of
value when you come to select from
the seedsmen's catalogue what you
may need.

Exhibits should be sent, all express
charges prepaid, to the A. L. Randall

chester, Mass., on Dec. 1, the speaker
was Wm. Sim, of Cliftondale — subject,
"Sweet Peas." Mr. Sim read a paper
on this topic, going into the origin and
history of the development of sweet
peas and especially the winter-flower-
ing sweet peas, also touching on cul-
ture— in fact, covered the subject as
only an expert grower can. The speak-
er also took the opportunity to speak
a word promoting the coming Nation-
al Sweet Pea Society Show at Boston
next summer, an event in which such
places as Bar Harbor, Lenox and New-
port are becoming interested. A dis-
cussion followed which brought out
some valuable cultural points. Among
the visitors were A. A. Pembroke and
Frank Dolansky of Lynn.

Descriptions.

CONOWINGO — The color of this
flower is an intense fiery scarlet. Its
foliage is an unusually beautiful plum
color at the base, shading to rich olive
green at the tip. The stately flowers
are freely produced and stand well
above the foliage, thus showing them-
selves off to good advantage. Height
4 to 5 feet.

SPLENDOUR.— The most impres-
sive quality in this Canna is the firm,
well spread out formation of the flow-
ers, which are an intense scarlet color
and very large. It makes two or three
bloom heads on each stalk, insuring
flowers practically all the time, as new
blooms are constantly appearing be-
fore the older flowers fade. "Splen-
dour" is a fitting name to such a
magnificent Canna. Green foliage.
Height 3 to 3>/2 feet.

WABASH.— The bronze-leaved "Ro-
sea Gigantea." Flower is unusually
large, petals broad and borne in great
abundance well above the magnificent
foliage of deep purple brown, striped
bronze green. Height, 4 feet.

BEACON.— Because of its abundance
of bloom this Canna is notably effec-
tive. The moderate sized flowers are
borne in great impressive heads of
rich cardinal red. When seen in a
row or bed the flowers show a mass
of bloom that for color effect we think
is unparalleled.

KATE F. DEEMER.— The grand
flowers open a rich, oriole yellow
which gradually gives place to turkey
red in the center and throat of the
flower in striking contrast with the
rest of the blossom which turns almost
white. The rich yellow buds on red-

dish brown stems combine with the
yellow and white Bowers, surmounting
rich green foliage, to make a fas-
cinating combination that always

to 4 feet.

to show about an inch, stop sy tinging,
water more rreely and Increase tem-
ture to 80-86 degrees P. Keep the
house atmosphere a moist one. Short-
ly before Dowering keep the plants 5-
10 degrees cooler, that flowers may
Open slower, and trusses grow larger.
When ready keep plants in a cool
vault or cellar for 36-48 hours in about
48-50 degrees temperature, to harden
the flowers for better keeping. Do the
same with the cut lilac, placing stems
in cool water. When forcing small
quantities at a time, it is advised to
ate from rest of house with can-
vas, and to shade with canvas. For
later forcing give less heat, down to
62-65 degrees; the flowers will then
need about 6-7 weeks to develep, but
they will turn out finer trusses. For
latest forcing grow in a sunny but
airy cool house. Marie Legray is put
at once into full light; Charles X and
the double flowering kinds should be
shaded a little at the start; shading
draws the trusses longer. Do not
crowd your plants. To obtain best
size trusses disbud to two flower buds
to the branch. For early forcing cut
back the leaf bud branches to one or
two, as you cannot figure on foliage
with the early flower.

With the long transit to the States,
it will bardly do to risk earlier forc-

though when treated as above, plants
should flower within three weeks.
Etherizing plants for 12-24 hours, or

CRAIG SPECIALTIES FOR CHRIST-
MAS.

\Mioine Leuthy, the distinguished

■ m horticulturist, landed in th"
City of Brotherly Love ibis morning,
and the writer had the pleasure of hi
. ompanj In i et iew Ing the splendid
displa] of up to -date stock which the
Craig Company have on view lh,s
year. This company has a great repu-
tation to maintain, but we saw no
tailing off in general excellence this
\ear. House after house of poinsettias
in all sizes: house after house of Lor-
raine; beautiful vistas of cyclamen;
fine lots of azaleas; many bousefuls of
various colored dracaenas. including
the favorites, Massangeana, Godsef-
flana and Lord Wolseley, as well as
the old standbys — terminalis and frag
rans; and a grand display of well col-
ored Pandanus Veitchii. Ficus pan-
durata still cuts a large figure here,
although it is now grown in quantity
in every large horticultural center
and therefor one might suppose the
demand for it from its original start
ing place would have fallen off. There
is a bewildering array of ferns and
for quantity and variety and finish one
must be hard to please who could not
get every want satisfied here. The
collection includes the favorite basket
variety, Amerpohli; the compact crest
ed Schoelzeli; the dark upright, grow-
ing Todaeoides; the Improved Elegan-
tissima and Elegantissima compacta;
the two Harris forms of Boston; and
Giatrasi. Nordmann firs, araucarias.
boxwoods trained, berried aucubas,
etc., are seen in plentiful assortment
and lend a fine Christmas touch to
the general display. Bright colored
foliage plant combinations in 8 and
10 inch tubs, composed of dracaenas,
erotons. pandanus. achyranthes, ferns.
etc., beautifully arranged, and very
showy, run in price from $3.00 to $6.00
and have met with such ready sal"
among leaders, like Battles of Phila-
delphia, Dards of New York and
others, that the first two hundred and
fifty tubs made up were sold inside
of ten days and have had to be dupli-
■ a I'd twice since.

COLLEGE POINT PLANTS.
We took our usual pre-Christmas
trip through the plant houses of Anton
Schultheis at College Point, N. Y.. a
few days ago. Schultheis is known as
a good grower, but we think he has
outclassed himself this year, es
ally on cyclamen, ericas, oranges,
ardisias and Jerusalem cherries. The

imen are remarkably fine for so
early in the season and the ericas
are up to the highest standard, while
tli" fruited plants are well-nigh per-
fect. In Lorraine begonias there is a
fine display and they ate selling rap-
idly. Azaleas are seen in the usual
abundance, some new and very vivid
colors not familiar as Christmas varie-
ty .- being in evidence. There is no
end of poinsettias. dracaenas, palms
and ferns and a whole forest of hand-
some boxwoods. A little later en there
will be some elegant lilacs, judging
from the stock of this specialty wait-
ing to be started along.

A GARDENERS' REUNION.

Sixteen years ago The New York

Gardener's Society was organized for

the purpose of forming a medium of

i acquaintance between private

gardeners, to protect and further their

interests and to advance Horticulture
m general, It at once became a recog-
nised harbinger of knowledge and
friendship. Everj member, land they
consisted of the principal gardeners
and men allied with Horticulture with-
in ii radius of a hundred miles ol New-
York City), went to work enthusiasti-
cally to promote a keener interest in
gardening, a better appreciation of na-
tures beauties.

Their work resulted in the organiz-
ing of numerous local Horticultural
Societies which on several occasions
assisted the parent society in the giv-
ing of several historical floral exhibi-
tions. Among those may be noted a
grand three-day show in the Waldorf-
Astoria, resulting in the giving to
charity of over one thousand collars;
the tree shows and distribution of
flowers, plants and seeds to thousands
of poor children at the Xew Kcrk City
Hall and at The Newsboys' Home; a
carnation show in the rooms of The
New York Press Club and many
monthly exhibitions at the Central
Opera House ami Mou Memorial Hall.
A National Society of Gardeners was
organized and many things accom-
plished, which during several yi ars
added much to inspire interest in hor-
ticultural history.

Through the ui ath of many leading
members and through others having to
submit to the tips and downs of a gar-
dener's life, the existence of this his-
torical society was submerged into that
of its children. For many years "the
Old Guard" of all those struggles and
successes, have expressed many wishes
for a reunion of all the remaining
members and their new brothers in
the profession. To meet this long-
hoped-for pleasure a committee ivas
appointed to make the necessary ar-
rangements, with the result that on
Thursday. Dec. 21st, 1911, a prize bowl-
ing tournament will commence at 4 P.
M., followed with a dinner at 7.30 1'.
.\i., accompanied with an appropriate
program of entertainment, when a
great afternoon and night of jollifica-
tion, a renewal of old friendships and
a pirations is assured.

The splendid bowling alleys and ban-
quet room comprising the entire
lonith flour of Thuni's. 1241 Broadway,
between 30th and 31st Sts., New Y'or.v
City, have been secured for the event
and we invite you to participate and
make the occasion a memorable one.
Tickets including everything may be
procured from the committee. Price
each. Application for same to be

FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHINGTON.

The December meeting of the Flor-
ists' Club of Washington, held on
Tuesday evening last, proved to be
one of the most interesting of the
season. It being the last meeting of
the year, the members did not seem
to be inclined to go very deeply into
business, rather looking forward to
the chats to be had with one another
after the adjournment. After the
usual routine business, the member-
ship committee reported favorably on
the application of E. J. Reynolds, who
was duly elected to membership. He
is one of the new arrivals in the city,
having but recently come here from
the Pacific Coast.

Considerable discussion greeted the
motion made looking to the appoint-
ment of a committee to see that some
sort of entertainment be provided for
each meeting night, those present be-
ing unanimously of the opinion that
something should happen every month.
The committee, Messrs. Hammer,
Bauer, and Oehmler, have already got-
ten together and have planned a se-
ries of lectures and ladies' nights.
Immediately following adjournment,
the members proceeded to the grotto
where a buffet luncheon was awaiting
them.

The meeting was well attended and
President Mayberry states that he is
in hopes the meetings of the coming
year will be as successful.

Prize That Which Is

1800 years ago there lived a great philosopher, Marcus Aurelius Antoninus,
at a'l? Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself an
which is best in the universe? Now, if this wise ancient were living today
to change a word of the lines I have quoted, would he? When he talked ab
Cittlcfi, ths peerless Phalaenopsis or the glorious Oncidium? And it is the
over all that he " prizes that which is best."

It Is Now Many Years Since I Be-
gan to Urge

this fact on the fl >rists of America and you see
I am still "keeping everlastingly at it." Directly
or iniire:tly the precedence and prosperity of
many of the most noted florists in the country
are due to the handling of McManus* Orchids.
You can't put the fact too strongly, that the
florist who gives Orchids and Gardenias a
secondary place today, will never, never "get
there." Distance need be no bar to the ship-
ment of these fine goods. I have shipped
them successfully across the Continent.

SOME VALUABLE
NEW ROSES

For 1912

Flower lovers all over the country are tired of having
to buy just two or three kinds of roses and are wanting
and demanding something different, even if they do have
to pay more for them.

The rose growers who realize this and are awake to
the fact that novelties are going to be very much more in
demand all the time are making no mistake in going into
the newer meritorious introductions,.

We have never had a larger or better variety to offer
than our list for 1912.

DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY

The Budlong Strain 1912

With its stronger, more vigorous growth, larger and heavier
flowers, double the petalage and purer white, is a tremendous
improvement over White Killarney, and is sure to be a money-
maker not only for winter forcing but for summer growing. We
recommend it as being the very best commercial white rose today. As a summer rose, it is such an improve-
ment over Kaiserin that some of the larger growers are going to discard Kaiserin for Double White Killarney.

KILLARNEY QUEEN

The Budlong Strain 1912

Is about three shades darker than Pink Killarney, and during dark and cloudy weather the color does not
fade, but remains a bright, deep, rich pink. It is of very much more vigorous growth than Killarney, even
a stronger grower than Double White Killarney. Flowers are about twice as large as Pink Killarney, about
the same petalage and borne on tremendously heavy, long stems, larger and heavier foliage. Many consider
this rose in the American Beauty class, its habit, growth and size are so vigorous and far ahead of Pink
Killarney.

DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY and KILLARNEY QUEEN

Grafted $30.00 per 100; $70.00 per 250; $250.00 per 1,000; $600.00 per 2,500; $1,100.00 per 5,000

Own Root 25.00 per 100: 60.00 per 250; 200.00 per 1,000. Deliveries during March.

DOUBLE WHITE KILLARNEY

SUNBURST

Another fine yellow, a 1912 introduction, of
golden orange, shading into golden yellow, ex-
tremely brilliant in effect, a long pointed bud of
good size, the largest of the yellow; borne on
long stiff stems. March deliveries.

Grafted $35.00 per 100; $300.00 per 1,000

Own Root 30.00 per 100; 250.00 per 1,000

DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY Scott

CHICAGO NOTES.
Outlook for Christmas Stock.
Unusual conditions bave marked
tin' year just closing and the weather
reports have several times broken all
previous records. Notwithstanding
this, houses are tilled with as fine a
grade of Bowers as the i losing month
of the year is until to ti nil. Much

building has been d since the last

holiday season, the Ion price of glass
and the ever hopeful disposition of
the florist being an Irresistible com-
bination. Much of the usual specular
lion mi the Christmas stock centers
on the American Beauty now, which
has been dei Idedl ] ofl ci op w 1th most
of the largest gro oi a few

weeks. Red carnations arc expected
to come to i he front and produi i
that are needed no matter how large-
ly the plants are out-numbered by the
white varieties for the public de-
mands red. Richmond roses seem
likely to fulfill all reasonable demands
if the weather is bright. As usual the
only bulbous Stock to be depended
upon in quantity is paper whites and
Roman hyacinths. Chrysanthemums

are not expected to hold out much
longer and few will be left for the
holidays. As ever the plant men will
have a large share of I -tmas

dollars turned their way.

The Geo. Wittbold Co.
A visit to The Geo. Wittbold Co.'s
Edgebroofc plant was made last week
and everything found in tine condi-
tion in addition to their extensive
nurserj business this firm specializes
in plants for florists' use as well
as cut flowers for their two retail
stores hi i the market. Some of their
most attractive offerings for the holi-

days are ferns for dishes. Dracaena
fragrans. Massangoatia and ti rminalis,
cibotium and it full line of palms and
other decorative stock. Azaleas are
selling rapidly. There are poins. t
tias fully eight feet tall, crowned with
immense brilliant bracts, and the
Christmas bulb stock will include

s choice red tulips.

Poehlmann Bros. Co.

The Poehlmann Bros. Co. have now
six orchid bouses filled with plants.
American Beauty houses are apparent-
ly going to he just in I heir prime for
a big Christmas cut. 60,000 tarnation
plants are grown In
year's stoi h and foi eman Guy W.
French counts Scarlet Glow as his
most profitable red, a bench of which
has bloomed continuously for two
years. Mr. French says he does not
feed his carnations till the days be-
gin to lengthen and always picks
close, with wide-awake Mock as a re-
sult. Poehlmann Bros. Co. added
thirteen 250 ft. houses this year and
their carnation range is the largest in
the world.

Chicago Carnation Company.

The Chicago Carnation Co. always
welcomes visitors to Joliet. and a
ticket is provided for anyone wishing
to take the trip from Chicago. Twen-
ty-one varieties of carnations are be-
Ing grown for cut flowers this year.
During its fourteen years" existence
the new varieties Introduced by the
Chica e Ion Co. have In several

instances proved valuable permanent

acquisitions to the carnation world.
Washington, introduced last year, has
given almost universal satisfaction,
being of a richer color than l.awson
and out-blooming that variety. It is

worth] oi note that Washington was
the only variety sent out iast year
that whs exhibited in 100 lots at the
i fall shows and received first
A brilliant red seedling, The
Herald, will be put upon the market
next year. It has received a certifi-
cate wherever shown and took first
prize at St. Louis. The Arm is also
testing twelve thousand seedlings.

A FINE WHOLESALE HOUSE FOR
ST. LOUIS.
Charles A. Kuehn sprang a big sur
prise on the local trade when he an-
nounced that he would this week
move into his own building which has
been in course of erection for the past
few months at 1312 Pine street. The
new building is of three story and
basement and is fitted out with all the
latest improvements, such as wireless
'phones, cold storage, elevators, new
office fixtures and new tables. The
first floor will bo used for the cut
flower department, the second for sup-
plies and the third for the wire fac-
tory. No one had ever dreamed that
this new building was being specially
built for a wholesale florist place. It
will be the best and largest wholesale
house of its kind in the country and
that is saying a whole lot.

Council Bluffs, Iowa — A slight fire
occurred at the Wilcox Greenhouses
on East Pierce street, November 28.

Flower Market Reports

After the fine record of
BOSTON Thanksgiving week this
market has quieted down
considerably and there is only a
moderate demand. The principal
activity around the wholesale marts
is in the line of inquiries for prices
and inspecting of holiday supplies.
The receipts of all sorts of flowers are
ample and in the majority of cases
quality is excellent. This is particu-
larly true of roses, carnations and
violets. The roses of recent introduc-
tion are making by far the best show-
ing in popularity, especially Radiance,
Taft and Hillingdon. White roses have
been too plentiful for the demand but
the" exit of the chrysanthemum will,
in a measure, remedy this disparity.
Carnations are of exceptional quality.
Sweet peas move slowly. Of bulbous
stock there is an abundance at moder-
ate prices.

Chrysanthemums were
BUFFALO the feature of the mar-
ket Thanksgiving week,
and there were enough to supply all.
Bonnaffons were the heaviest in yel-
low, and being of medium size sold
well, though there was little or no
advance in price. Golden Wedding,
Mrs. Jerome Jones and White Maud
Dean were good, and shared in the
demand. White carnations were seen
in quantities, but the colored varieties
sold best, especially Beacon and Win-
sor. Beauties were good and Rich-
monds were in better demand than
other teas. There was plenty of
other stock, such as violets, lily of the
valley, mignonette, narcissus, sweet
peas, Roman hyacinths, and ail shared
in the demand. The trade is thankful
for the extra business which the holi-
day brought for the whole week, and
the wholesaler is thankful that the
market is back again to normal con-
ditions.

The history of the mar-
CHI CAGO ket the past week is the
history of Thanksgiving
sales, for all the life of the trade
centered in that day. Stock, which
promised to be abundant enough for
all reasonable demands, was held back,
and prices quoted were higher than
could hold. As a result every one had
twice as much stock as he had planned
for and prices on some things, notice-
ably carnations, were cut in two on
Wednesday. Those who did not sell
out then had so much on hand for the
last of the week that prices went still
lower. Those who had sold out clean
on Wednesday counted themselves for-
tunate. Paper whites are not moving
very fast, attributed to the presence

of good white chrysanthemums still in
the market. Roman hyacinths are in
about the same condition. Callas are
coming in and take well this week.
There are still a great many chrysan-
themums and prices are holding up
well. Roses are plentiful, Beauties
scarce. Violets more than equal the
demand some days and clear up well
others. Sweet peas are rapidly gain-
ing in length of stem, and are of
splendid color. Plenty of excellent
steria is offered, and all kinds of green
in first-class quality is to be had.

Prices now are such
CINCINNATI as will delight the

grower when he sees
his return sheets, but the amount of
offerings is not such as gladden the
buyers, for the market is light on
almost everything. The chrysanthe-
mums are going out quickly and the
other stock is not increasing in
quantity as rapidly. As a consequence,
the buyers must do some tall hustling
to get their wants filled. Poinsel
are coming in nicely and promise to
he factors in a very short time. The
quantity of paper white narcissi is in-
creasing. Roses and carnations, too,
are increasing in numbers ami also
quality, but not as fast as tin1 max!
demands. Among the others somi
good Richmond are included. The
supply of Beauties is moie adequate
than it was. Lilies find a good request.
The same is true of both N. Y. double
and single violets. In chrysanthe-
mums practically only the largest and
the small medium sizes are offered.
Other intermediate grades are ren-
dered conspicuous by their absence.

Stevia is beginning to sell fairly well.
The green goods market shows a heavy
call from out of town for ferns and
leucothoe.

of the past weeks which

for reasons stated previously, did not

come up to the standard set one year

surprise. All report Thanksgiving
business a good percentage ahead of
lusi year and we hope tiiis may also
come true with Christmas three wi
h( nee. The principal call was tor
chrysanthemums ami this was en
banced by the high price of long
stemmed roses in the wholesale mar-
ket At present 1 lii.v -itn t li« mums 'are
practically gone but other Bowers are
coming in in very good quality and
plenty of them.

The market closed
NEW YORK very strong last week,

after the Thanksgiv-
ing Dly: onslaught, the prices prevail-
ing for the holiday being well main-
tained. Monday opened with a heavy
snowfall, which, aided and abetted by
a disastrous fire at the U. S. Express
Co.'s stables in Jersey City, so crip-
pled and delayed flower deliveries
that much embarrassment and scurry-
ing was inflicted on the wholesale
district, and prices kept where they
left off on Saturday. Chrysanthe-
mums 'made an almost complete exit
\<ith '.'the Thanksgiving Day cut, and
an unwonted emptiness is noticeable
everywhere. The result will doubtless
be a good boost for the carnation,
which' is already selling at figures rare-
ly touched at this season and -seldom
exceeded at any season. The quality
is noticeably good. Roses are not too
plentiful and probably will not be
until -the holiday crop shows up. Nor-
mal values are well maintained, and
lower prices are not looked for in the
near' future. Of lily of the valley
there is a fair supply, but much of it
is of indifferent quality. Roman
hyacinths abundant, paper white nar-
cissi less so. Violets are uncertain
and flucttiating'and prices sag. Gigan-
teiinv'liljes an in quite heavy receipts
— spmetjni' - b so that values

Sare' maintained only with much diffi-
culty. Speciosum rubrum lilies are a
much-prized feature of the market and
bring good prices. In the orchid line
there is a fair supply of cattleyas but
oncidiurus and other "spray'' orchids
are in insufficient quantity for the de-
mand. An atmosphere of confident
activity is gradually pervading the
Wholesale district, and the feeling Is
more 'optimistic than it has been for
many moons." The retailers are not
disposed to he jubilant though, and
the" "surplus speculators" are far from
happy over the situation.

Thanksgiving
PHILADELPHIA week came fully

up to the high-
est expectations here. Trading was
brisk all along the line. There was
plenty of stuff but not too much. No
gluts. No sacrifices. A satisfactory
market, such as we seldom see. In
roses the medium grades were in
rather best demand, the fancies and
specials being a little harder to move.
Carnations cleaned right up. Good
chrysanthemums also sold well — and
some of the fancies, like Chadwicks
brought top-notch figures. Violets and
lily of the valley were in brisk de-
mand. Orchids are not so plentiful
but enough of them to go around.
About the only draggy item was the
lily, of which there were liberal ship-
ments but very little call. All other
flowers are going well at the a
standard figures. Good crops in sie.ht
for Christmas trade. The prophei i
figuring on rather moderate prices for
the great festival.

The market was in fine
ST. LOUIS condition the past week
and, especially on Wed
in sday and Thursday it was crowded
up with extra fine stock in everything
si asonable and the wholesalers had
plenty of orders on hand for both lo-
cal and shipping to consume nearly
all of it. The local retailers all had
: a splendid business for Thanksgiving
. Day. Prices were not so high consid-
; ering the quality* of the stock. The
cut being so heavy last week much is
expected for the early part of this
week and prices will remain abot
they were last week— some fine Beau-
ties are coming in but not any too
I many. Smaller roses are more plen-
tiful in all grades. Violets sold fine
• although many more were received

than expected. Chrysanthemums are
on the down grade and only few are
coming in now.

The Thanksgiving
WASHINGTON Day period proved
to be very success-
ful with the trade in this city, and
sales for the entire week were very
satisfactory. Prices were good; no-
body was trying to give their stock
away and there was a healthy demand
for everything. Roses and chrysan-
themums were, t>f course, the top-
notchers as regards quantities dis-
posed of. Roses are coming in good,
and are cleaning up to advantage.
Carnations of Al quality are scarce,
the best grades bringing about
lie 1 there are so few of theui
thai the demand exceeds the supply;
Lily ot the valley and narcissus are"
in better demand this week than last,:
but double violets are moving slower
than would be expected. These latter
were quoted during the holiday time
at $1.25 to J1.50, but there was no
extra demand for them. The demand
for orchids was quite good. On Sun-
day last the ice boxes looked pretty
.veil cleaned out, and it is expected
that this month of December will
prove to be a record breaker and the
year finish up in fine style.

November 30 to Miss Mary A. I. May-

Washington, D. C. — A. O. C. Oehm-

Washington, is a candidate for elec-

of the Sons of Veterans. He has but
one opponent, the present incumbent,
but the fight is a close one, and it is
not wise to bet on either contestant.

Z. D. Blackistone is showing some
very attractive combination baskets of
fruit and flowers. A corsage bouquet
"like Grandma used to wear" proved
to be a decided novelty. This was on

Seed Trade

Corn Damage.

it si ems thai I lie crop troubles of
1911 are not yet ended for the seed
grower or seedsman. We have several
i epoi ted damage to late varie-
of sweet corn, but the extent of
Ibis damage we could not ascertain,
and, do not really know the

extent of it at this time. It is known,
however, to be very serious, estimates
varying from twenty-five to fifty per
cent. From the latest information we
have, it seems that the damage has not
been confined to sweet corn, but that a
large percentage of the field corn,
grown in Ohio, has suffered from what
is known as "ear rot." This has been
so serious that the papers of the state,
and particularly those devoted to the
agricultural interests, have given it a
good deal of attention, and some have
said that it was a national calamity.
While probably it is not serious
enough to be thus characterized, it
means a considerable loss to the far-
mers of the state. Some of the Ohio
papers have predicted dollar field corn
as a result of the trouble referred to.

We reported some time ago that
conditions affecting the corn crop of
Connecticut were generally favorable,
and the latest reports we have do not
change this information. It must be
remembered, however, that the Con-
necticut crop is but a small factor of
the total, and it is further rumored
that most of the Connecticut dealers
are nearly or quite sold up and not in
shape to accept much more business
on this year's crop. In their eager-
to do business, they started prices
at too low a figure and could not un-
derstand why they received so many
orders for corn from the west. It
finally dawned on them why, but it
was then too late to be of any material
benefit, as most of them had already
sold about all available surplus not re-
quired for their own immediate trade.
At this time it really looks as if prices
would rule considerably higher for
good, sound seed of strong germination
than seemed probable a month or two
ago. Many of the large wholesale
seed houses are selling corn very cau-
tiously, and in rather limited quanti-
ties only, being fearful that the dam-
age may prove even more serious than
now seems probable.

Pea and Bean Contract Prices.
Contracting prices for peas and
beans of the 1912 crop have been is-
sued by most of the growers, and are
certainly at a much higher level than
ever before in the history of the trade.
At least, this may be said of peas, if
not of beans. There seems to be con-
siderable difference in prices on beans,
one or two growers advancing theii
prices twenty-five to fifty cents per
bushel over last year, while the ma-
jority have made only very slight ad-
vances. Why there should be this dif-
ference has been explained by one of
the large growing concerns, which is
in effect that at the prices ruling the
past year the cost was such that they
were barely able to break even, while
should the crop be a very light one,
they would most certainly be losers.
It has seemed that for several years,
bean prices have not kept pace with
the advance in peas, and probably
there is not justification for as large
advances. But how growers can con-

tinue to produce beans at the prices of

tainly they cannot make a reasonable
profit on their investment in beans.

<J The most complete Catalog of Seeds for Florists

Market Gardeners to aid them in selecting varieties best ad-
apted for their purpose.

work there is now supplemented by trials of special varieties
at our SUNNYBROOK FARM in southern New Jersey and
our FLORADALE FARM in California.

fj If you are a customer of ours and entitled to Wholesale
prices a copy of Burpee's Blue List for 1912 will be sent

country than is generally believed, but
a careful inspection of one or two of-
fers reveals the fact that in the main
the same lots are being offered over
and over again. The plan of these
brokers is to issue a circular bearing a
certain date and quoting various lots
by number. Failing to effect sales
a new circular is issued offering the
same lots under new numbers. It is
a clever scheme, but we think possible
buyers are "catching on."

An Assignment.
We have just been informed that the
Nott Seed Company of Troy has made
an assignment and is winding up its
affairs. We have not learned what its
obligations are, nor what percentage
it will pay on Its indebtedness. We
had occasion to refer to this concern
not long ago, stating that it had moved
into new and much superior quarters,
and the president of the company, Mr.
P. K. Nott, stated thai the concern was
in better financial shape than at any
time since its organization. As Its
business was almost exclusively retail
and not very extensive, its failure is
not likely to cause much stir. In fact,
comparatively few know of the fact.
Mr. Nott, we understand, is open for
a position with anyone desiring a first-
class man to take charge of extensive
trial grounds, as he is reported to be
a high-class hybridizer and plant
breeder. Letters addressed to Troy,
New York, will reach him.

Proposals for Government Supplies.
No. 363. Vegetable and flower seeds.
—The United States Department of
Agriculture desires quotations for fur-
nishing standard varieties of vege-
table and flower Beed from surplus
stocks or under growing contract tor
the 1912-13 congressional seed distribu-
tion. Approximately 1,200,000 pounds
of vegetable and 50,000 pounds of
flower seed will be required. Bids will
be opened by the Board of Awards at
2 P. M., January 9, 1912. Copies of
specifications can be obtained from th >
Office of Seed Distribution. Bureau of
Plant Industry, Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. C.

missed. Mr. Grey has withdrawn from
active connection with the companj
which bears his name although he
retains his interest in the corporation.
His home address is 19 Jefferson ave.,
Chelsea. We hope he will onj.>
the fullest extent his well earned rest.

The announcement is made under
date of December 1, 1911, that Heniy
Nungesser has resigned as president
of Henry .Nungesser & Co., Hoboken,

disposed of his interest in the firm.
Mr. Nungesser bespeaks for the com-
pany the same generous support ex-
tended by the trade in the past The

corporated in 1S99.

Beyond All Doubt Here is the House That

Stops All Argument
About Durability, Safety and Lightness

A COMPLETE iron frame, completely sup-
ported with the required number of col-
umns to take from the ridge and eaves the tre-
mendous strain of roof weight, and wind and
snow pressure.

The greenhouse engineers who designed
it, first made sure it was strong enough, then
they made it light enough.

LORD

It is the Sectional Iron Frame Construc-
tion, which is not the cheapest house you can
build, but it costs what is necessary to make it,
safe and sure.

We have several other photos of this
house we would like to have you see. If in-
terested, write and let us know.

BURPEE'S ANNUAL FOR 1912

"The Leading American Seed Catalog"

Is now ready for mailing. 1 he first edition of more than four hundred
thousand copies will soon be dist ibuted. As usual it is sent unsolicited
only to " Customers of Record." We shall be pleased, however, to
mail a copy immediately upon application (a postal card will do) to
every one who appreciates QUALITY IN SEEDS.
<J This SILENT SALESMAN (and we employ no " talking" salesmen
to solicit orders) tells the plain truth about The Best Seeds That Can
Be Grown. It is a bright book of 1 78 pages and shows, besides
colored plates of Burpee-Speciallies, hundreds of the choicest vegetables
and most beautiful flowers, illustrated from photographs. It is almost
indispensable to all who garden either for pleasure or profit.
«IThe "HOUSE OF BURPEE" is known the world over not
only as EXPERTS IN SWEET PEAS but also as SEED SPECI-
ALISTS. No other American firm has ever introduced so many novel-
ties of sterling value, — and no other growers supply seeds annually
direct to so many planters. It might be to your interest to read THE
BURPEE ANNUAL. It will cost you only one cent for a post-card
to send us your address — and you are under no obligation to buy. We
never annoy applicants with " follow up " letters !
Shall we mail you a copy? If so, kindly WRITE TO-DAY.

Burpee's Blue List for 1912

<1 The most complete catalog published for MARKET GARD-
ENERS, TRUCKERS and FLORISTS. For the planter who
" knows " it contains complete lists of all that is best in vegetables and
flowers, while the grower who is uncertain as to the best varieties suited
for his purpose may be guided by the bull's-eye • placed after what is
known to be best. In addition full descriptions are given of many new
and most valuable varieties.

q BURPEE'S BLUE LIST FOR 1912 contains 146 pages with
hundreds of half-tone and engraved illustrations. Within the pages of
this catalog we have condensed an experience of thirty-five years both
in handling and the actual growing of seeds.

<I If you garden for profit (that is, sell your products in the market) you
are entitled to a copy of this complete and easily understood catalog,
but if you are a private planter please do not ask for it, as we must pro-
tect the Market Gardener, Trucker and Florist.

The pictures were
taken two weeks

ago in the orangerie at Duke's
Park. This house measuring '.'•"> by
75 feel miur!ii be i rmed the

California of New Jersey. The
older trees are planted out in bor-
ders and the intervening spaces
taken up with trees in square tubs
— one of which we illustrate —
which are easily transferred to
wherever needed for house decora-
tions. The cluster — and there
are many such through the house —
is growing on one of the trees
planted out. Owing to the quan-
tity of fruit which keeps the

branches low, it has I n ditVu-ult

to show the whole crop of one tree
in a small picture. For a private
place which is seeking novelty and
a picturesque house there is noth-
ing to heat an orangerie. The
moderate temperature makes it an
ideal spot at all times of the year.
The fragrance of the flowers needs no commendation and
as soon as these pass over there is the crop of wee small
oranges to develop into the golden harvest of the late
fall and winter, which makes a pleasing feast for the
eyes as well as the mouth, right over Christmas.

POSITION OF FRUIT HOUSES AND THEIR VENTILATORS

The position and construction of fruit houses plays
no small part in the quality of results obtained from the
trees. During recent years a great change has been
made in constructing a peach house. Now, we find
trees growing on a trellis stretched across the house in-
stead of in the old way of running on an overhead trellis
a short distance from the glass. This method is a \ast
improvement on its predecessor, inasmuch as more fruit
can be gathered from a house, the trees are more easily
kept clean, — being more accessible with the hose, — the
borders feel the heat of the sun and the air can pass in
and around the trees more freely. It will be readily
seen that a house such as the foregoing must run from
east to west, with the trellis across it at right an
For an early house a lean-to has much to recommend it ;

in the first place it ie sheltered from the north wind, sec-
ondly it gets all the miii possible during the lirst months
of the yeai ential point. Trees planted the re- Libqar

gets high. Sim at see will suil figs. Vineries can BoTamo

A far more imposing house is the even-span roof.

M 'KING \ 1 ■ I : V ■ It BORDER

Making a peach border differs little from making a
I'order. The root confinement is of equal impor-
tance, as a peach tree if left to itself will make a i
tity of strong worthless wood year after year. It is
seldom we find flower buds on this strong wood; on the
contrary it is on the weaker wood where the flower buds
ion of the house and trellis must

858

HORTICULTURE

December 1G, 1911

determine if the border should be made up at once; in
a loan-to house a portion can be made each year, but
with cross trellises, no provision for this can be made.
Proceed as with a vine border until it comes to mix-
ing the soil. A peach does not require nearly so rich a
soil as the vine, but it must be porous. To every fifteen
loads of loam add one of broken bricks (these should be
broken into pieces about as large as your fist) and four
or five bags of choarcoal. No stimulants will be needed.
Mi\ the soil thoroughly and when making it up press it
firm.

.MELONS

Melons sown December 1st will soon be ready to plant
out. and the bed should be prepared for them. Half-
decayed loam, with a good percentage of mortar rubble
or old plaster broken up small and mixed in with it
will be found to suit them all right. A mistake is often
made in giving melons too much soil to grow in. A

surprisingly small quantity is all they require. With
this small quantity canker and stem-rot seem to be less
prevalent than where they have so much to ramble in.
A bed 5 by 16 inches is quite enough for them. Break
the loam into fair-sized lumps and make the bed quite
firm. A melon seems to enjoy a good hard soil and
there is less superfluous growth than when planted in
loose soil. A good set seems easier to obtain and the
benches drying out quickly will help to improve the
flavor of the fruit. After making the foundation of
the bed leave little mounds of soil in which to plant the
seedlings, two feet apart.

White Phloxes

To emphasize the importance of phloxes in floral out-
door displays would mean an attempt to impose on the
patience of the intelligent readers of Horticulture.
As a matter of fact, the coming into flower of the
phloxes is a characteristic feature in the mid-summer as-
pect of any modern garden. Without it the total pic-
ture would lack in color-brilliancy. We should, at
once, miss that certain warmth of tone which only a
mass of upright panicles of phloxes can create. World-
wide popularity first brought about an overabundance of
variety. With the growing refinements of taste in color
combinations and the subsequent preference for clear

to shed some of their blossoms are as a rule not consid-
ered very seriously for cutting. Nevertheless during
the month of August, with by no means an oversupply
of white in the garden, the long-stemmed panicles of the
best white varieties in many instances prove quite ac-
ceptable. This without doubt further explains their
prepondei'ence in public favor.

In the suffrutieosa class Miss Lingard is still in the
lead. Although not a pure white, the pale pinkish eye
never detracts from its meriting first rank in the early,
flowering whites. Being nearly a perpetual bloomer its
glossy foliage, free-flowering habit, and the large size

Till. ox SUFFKOTICOSA, MlSS LlNGAHD

tints the discarding of shades of doubtful merit became
an urgent necessity for up-to-date growers. It also
meant to keep an eye on the size of the individual flower
as well as the build of the panicles, not to forget the
resistance of foliage to mildew and other diseases.

According to my observations, the lighter shades at
present outclass the darker ones in demand, with pure
white leading. White is neutral; that is, it does not
clash with any color when coming in contact. Being
principally planted for garden display it is a very easy
matter to place white phloxes. The standard varieties
now possess that noble purity which, for near and dis-
tant effects, is of a wonderful strength.

Phloxes, on account of their habit of soon beginning

of its masses of conically formed trusses are qualities
which speak loud and convincing.

There are quite a number of pure whites listed within
the panieulata section. Of the tall growing ones Frl.
von Lassburg and Mrs. Jenkins can be safely recom-
mended as the best in cultivation. Of the dwarf-grow-
ing ones Diadem, late flowering, and — as a novelty well
spoken of here and abroad — Fran Anton Buchner, mid-
season, should be considered first. Both are excellent
for bordering purposes. ■

CARE OF CALCEOLVKI \s l'HOM NOW OS

I ►on't run these plants too high Eor they an I ivel]
injured by being kept in too warm ;i temperature. From

now 15 degrees al nighl si id be the limit and -

you wain to retard them the] should be kept in a vei
cool house say three or four degrees above the 1 1 .
point. At this cool stage the] should lie held a little
on the dry side, hut yet with enough moisture at the
roots i" keep them sprightly and Eresh. Those that are
kept growing on in a temperature of l<i or 1"> J.-iv, -
should be allowed room to develop their foliage. Give
them plenty of air daily when possible. It is advisable
to keep them shifted I' rum time to time until their flow-
ering size is reached. These plants are ver] particular
about drainage so always be Mire to ha\e a -nod layer
of broken crocks in the bottom of every pot. Give them
a loam that is left Lumpy four parts, well rotted cow
manure one part, leaf mold one part, and sharp sand
enough to keep the mixture porous and mellow. Keep
them rid of llv by light fumigations done often, which
is more effective than infrequent heavy doses.

FORCING EARLY X U&CISS1

The earliest planted bulbs of this ideal winter flower
ing bulb that were brought in and put under a bench in
a cool bouse three or four weeks ago should by this time
ha\e tilled their flats with lots of root-. To have the
first lot prove a success bi sure that they have a
root growth first, otherwise the attempt will lie a failure.
They will stand a strong heat when well rooted: any-
where front 75 to 80 degrees will not harm them. In
forcing narcissi for January flowering they will need
to be well-shaded so as to draw up the flower stem for
two or three weeks; then remove the shading a little
at a time until they have full sun. Remember that they
will require frequent waterings when they are kept in
a high temperature.

QLOXINl IS Hit; SPRING FLOWERING

Where nice flowering plants are wanted for the
months of April and Mm a hatch of bulbs should be
started now and another can be -tailed in about a
month: this will give a much longer period of flower-
ing. The best wa\ of starting these conn- is to place
them quite closi together in flats in a compost of leaf
mold and sand ami then give enough of water jn-i to
moisten the soil thoroughly : he careful not to give too
much until the bulbs have made some growth. A- these
plants aiv essentially tropical they should have a night

temperature of from 60 t legrees. When they have

made a little top growth and some nice roots they can
be potted off into l-itich pots in a compost of fibrous

loam three part-, cow- manure ami leaf Id each one

part. When they have tilled these pot- with roots
they should he -hilled :nio their flowering pots, with

g 1 drainage, [f seed - sown now ami grown on the\

Liv greater comfort and satisfaction after it is all over
than the consciousness that everything has been done in
order, every obligation promptly met. ever} little detail
carefully carried out and every customer pleased? The
enjoyment of all this is not possible, excepl by deliber-
ately thinking it out well beforehand and then by the
systematic and thorough doing ahead of everything that
can possibly be made to contribute towards the linal
realization. The right material — enough of it. in the
right place and put to profitable use by the right per-
son are essentials in the orderly expediting of business
in this period of so great possibilities for the ambitious
florist. "Get busy" is good advice but ":_rei ready to get
busj " is equally important. Do it now.

The inconsistency of exhibition sched-

Haphazard ules never fails to furnish a fertile

premium lists topic for discussion. We have just

been looking over one recently sent
out by a State Horticultural Society for a mid-winter
show in which the first prize for five apples is $2.00 in
each of over a score of classes. A pretty good price for
apples — 40 cents apiece? And each exhibitor, whether
winner or not, takes his fruit away with him. nothing
the worse for wear, after the show closes. In the same
schedule the sum of $3.00 is offered for twelve American
Beauty roses — 35 cents apiece, in mid-winter — and,
whether winner or loser on prizes, the exhibitor, of
course, gets nothing back. On the other hand, $8.00 is
up as first prize for 50 carnations. The carnation man
can't find any fault with that. Evidently the disparity
is due, not to prejudice or intent to slight or to over-
reward any particular class, but simply to a faulty con-
ception of the comparative conditions appertaining to
each. Schedule making calls for broad knowledge, and
lots of good sens* and our exhibitions suffer oftener than
we are apt to realize, because these essentials are lack-
ing in the schedule makers.

The mention in our St. Louis notes for this
A great week and in various other news items from
record time to time, of the place still held by
chrysanthemum Mrs. Jerome Jones as a mar-
ket variety, reminds us that this grand old chrysanthe-
mum has now been in existence for nineteen years and
bids fair to hold its own indefinitely as a favorite ex-
hibition flower in its distinctive class as well as a useful
late commercial sort. This is remarkable when we con-
sider that of the hundreds of varieties well-known at the
time of its introduction in 1892 all are practically ex-
tinct with the exception of Gullingfordii, Maud Dean
and possibly, one or two others. Geo. W. Childs and
Ivory which still are with us were introduced in the
same year as Mrs. Jerome done-. Col. Appleton, •
Timothy Eaton. Maj. Bonnaffon and other well-
seasoned stand-bys were not yet in existence. No
doubt the long tenure of the Mrs. Jerome Jones on the
exhibition tables has been in some measure due to the
liberal special premiums contributed by Mr. Jones as a
memorial to the sweet, philanthropic lady whose name
it hears and to the gentleman, her father, whose pro-
duction it was and to whose patient devotion the
chrysanthemum owes so much of its prestige. But the
variety, individually, is also undoubtedly responsible for
its popularity, not alone in this country but abroad, some
thing which premiums could never have maintained
without exceptional merit in the flower itself.

THE COMING ROSE AND CARNA-
TION CONVENTION SHOW AT
DETROIT.

A good deal of adverse criticism
been going around regarding the earli-
noss of the Rose Show. The Executive
Boa i 'I ol 1 1" Ro le Societj iliought it
best to stretch a point and so togetner
with the Carnation Society, a an ex-
periment. .Many rose growers grow
carnations, too. They would like to
to both conventions, but to spare
the time is often noi possible, besides
the extra cost of fare. Bj having

these i ■■-. '• entions together, I

think both societies will strengthen
their membership; that a grower

whoso interest is weakest, say in

roses, and is a member of the Carna-
tion Society, would possibly, if able
to attend both meetings, join the Rose
Society, as he is most likely interested
in roses also, but not caring to spend
the time and money for both meet-
ings, goes to the one which takes care
of his greatest interests. So being
able to "kill two birds with one stone,"
he goes to the joint meeting. As this
works both ways, belli societies will
be gainers. Besides, the exhibition of
the two societies together should be
an attraction to the public, and thus
a pood attendance seems assured,
which is a great factor towards the
• ess ei i he show.

The Rose Society has always suf-
fered from lack of attendance; if the
show was just nf roses alone, it was
too small an affair, and the general
public did not get to know of it. If
held in conjunction with some Hort;-
CUltural Society, we had the attend
ance, but we could not always arrange
for such favorable conditions, so we
are trying this combination. T feel
sure it will be a great success. The
hall is ideal, verj light and with plenty
of ventilation, and the Detroit Florist s'
Club is going to do its best to make

us feel at hone1. Every member of it
is working for success, and e\eryone
seems to feel as if the success of the
show and meeting depended on jus*
his share of the work, and this makes
the officers .and executive board of
both societies feel assured of one of
the greatest meetings and exhibitions
ever held by either society.

So. my dear friend, drop your growl-
ing, if you are one of the growlers,
and make up your mind to come, and
vou will never regret it. The exhibi-
tion of roses alone will surpass your
expectations. So many new varieties
will he there — not by the dozen, but
by I'i'T fifty bunches and if they are
not there vou can form your own con-
clusions why. Tf you have anv good
roses, look over the previous list and
see if there is not one class where you
can come in. T know there is. All
varieties and all classes are taken car*
of — some £1.70(1 for cash prizes and
the societv'= gold, silver and bronze
medals. Enoueb for everybody, who
is keen and alert to knew thai to
have good roses at that time of the
year. <--o they can come in competition
with the best and possibly carry away
first prizes is a glory, besides a stood
advertisement Money is not every
thing in this life. To show your skill
and treed Judgment, your fine points
of cultivation and care, and then to
triumph over vour comnetitors, is

"' I "lorv in enr profession. Not to

have felt that way is tn have missed
the best in your work. And those

who lose will strive to do better in
the hopes of taking the blue ribbon
some other day, and that is jut I
of the results of these exhibitions.

To keep one's eyes ami
open to improvements in methods of
cultivation by going to these m •■tings
and exhibitions, is very important.
You may not get great big chunks of
information everj time you go, bu
the savin;; is. "Every little bit helps."
Competition is strong, so one has to

he posted ail along the line. Everyone
needs that to keep abreast of the
times. Tie s : lots of men crying
that "there is no more money in it
than there was twenty to twenty-five
years ago; the little men are getting
crowded out." That's all nons.
there is just as much money in
< \er. and more, and the small grower
has just as good a chance as ever, of
course, bin the old ways of doing
things will not answer anj mere; new
ways and means have to be adapted
and lived up to, and success is assured
as ever. A. FARENWALD.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW OF
1913.
Will you kindly give publicity to the

facl i iiai the committee is now work-
ing on the Preliminary Plant Schedule
for 1913.

Strong representations have been
made me, that any firms who desire to
contribute special prizes in the plant
classes should be given due credit for
the same and their names placed in
this Preliminary List, to insure for
them the widest publicity possible.

The committee feels that it cannot
get in touch personally with all who
may be desirous of contributing in this
manner, and therefore asks thai
write on or before January 1st, 1912.
stating their wishes in this matter.

Thanking you. I remain. Yours verv
truly. CHAS. H. TOTTY,

Chairman.

GOOD SERVICE RECOGNIZED.
Editor HORTICrLTURE:

Gentlemen— As an aftermath to the
report of the chairman of tie I
and Legislative Committee of the So-
ciety of American Florists, we would
add our appreciation of the work
which Mr. Esler did for us personally.
We were among the victims of the un-
satisfactory deliveries of the express
companies, and as individuals, were
unable to get satisfaction. We ap-
pealed to Mr. Esler. and thanks to his
interest and indefatigable efforts.
backed by the Society of American
Florists, we gained our point. This
shows two things very clearly and em-
phatically: first, the great value of
united action, and "pulling tc gether,"
as under the patronage of a society
like the American Florists, ard sec-
ondly, officering any society with the
tight men in the right place
spare Mr. Esler's blushes we will let
you make the inference here.
Very truly pours,

BENJAMIN DORRAXCK.

ROYAL INTERNATIONAL HORTI-
CULTURAL EXHIBITION, LON-
DON, 1912.
His Majesty King George V. has
ated to the directors of
th' Royal International Horticultural
Exhibition, through Lieut.-Col. Sir
e Holford, his Inti open

this exhibition on May 22nd, at 12

It will be i red that this

I show is to take place at Chel-
sea, in the grounds of the Royal Hos-
pital, where it will to public
inspection lor eight week da> s. It
will be the first show of the kind in
England since 1SCU, and there is al-
readj ample evidence that it will at-
tract all the horticultural novelties
not only of the Empire, but of the
world, while it will present to visitor.--
uique display of present-day llori-
culture.

In consideration of numerous re-
quests from representatives of the
horticultural world, the Directors of
the Royal International Horticultural
Exhibition have decided to provide
special admission facilities for pro-
fessional gardeners and others on the
second, third and subsequent days.
The actual size of the ground is 21
acres; but at least 7 acres are occupied
by trees, shrubs, etc., which leaves
only 14 acres for tents, exhibits, offices,
etc. Applications for space have nat-
urally been very numerous, and ground
has to be allotted for paths, prome-
nades, and so forth. It must also be
remembered that, apart from the vis-
itors themselves, there will be a large
number— say three thousand— of
officials and servants, including jury-
men, exhibitors, attendants, etc.

Among the most recent donors of
special prizes are Messrs. Clay &
Sons, who are offering for competition
in the lose class, a silver gilt rose
bowl, valued at eighty guineas.

Turning to the interesting subject
of horticultural sundries we may say
that this section will exhibit a com-
pleteness never before witnessed in
this country. The exhibits will be
given prominent positions in the
grounds, both under cover and in the
open. In every 'an the awards will
be made by special iurymen; thus, in
-the classes for sundries, only men who
have a thorough knowledge of these
matters will officiate.

The Directors desire to draw the at-
tention of exhibitors to the fact that
they have decided not to enforce tne
condition printed at the foot of the
entry forms already distributed in the
schedules, to the 'fleet that specimens
is. etc i must have been culti-
exhibitor for at least
two months prioi to the date of the
show. Regulation 20, in the revised
lie, is the only stipulation of the
d that will I retained: namely,
that the "Exhibits must be the prop-
erty of the Exhibitor, or of the Em-
ployer in v. hose name they are
1 n."
The Directors also announce that
they will provide all necessary plates
and vases — the plates will be of card-
board or papier mat he

installed into their respective
chairs for the ensuing year; Presi-
dent. James Kennedy; vice-president.
Duncan Kelly; treasurer. A. Bauer;
seen tary, Benjamin Wyc-koff; corres-
ponding secretary, George Masson.
The reports of the treasurer, secre-

tcuv and excellent condition of the af-
fairs of the society.

In the monthly competition for
points during the past year, A. Bauer
won out, and he now becomes the
owner of the Rickards' Bros.' silver
cup which had to be won twice before
becoming the property of the winner.
In addition to the cup, Air. Bauer was
awarded the gold medal: Duncan Kel-
ly, scoring the second highest number
of points, receiving the silver medal
and Win. Seymour the bronze medal,
for third. These medals were kindly
donated by A. T. Boddington.

It was decided to continue the
monthly competition for points dur-
ing the coming year and that suitable
prizes be awarded for same. Among
the out-of-town visitors present was

PITTSBURGH FLORISTS' AND GAR-
DENERS' CLUB.

While our club meeting on Dec. 5th
was not as largely attended as the No-
vember meeting, when we had the
chrysanthemum display, yet it was
very interesting, made so partly by
the varied exhibits, and particularly
bj the presence of Elmer D. Smith of
Adrian, .Mich. Unfortunately Air.
Smith had not been able to be present
at our November meeting when his
specialty was shown in great variety,
but he had with him a large number
of life size cuts of chrysanthemums,
and with these as texts he talked to
us in his modest way of the peculiari-
ties of habit and the best methods of
propagation of his favorite flower.
Asked for a list of the 12 best chrysan-
themums for exhibition purposes, Mr.
Smith named the following: Alontigny,
F. S. Vallis, Harry Conrad, Lenox!
Alissouri Boy, AI. Loisseau Rousseau!
Wm Turner, Woodmason, Rose Pock-
ett, Lady Hopetoun, Morristown, Yel-
low Miller.

Mr. Smith spoke in pleasant terms
of the hospitality he was receiving
during his short stay in Pittsburgh,
and in particular of his visit to the
plant of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower
Co. at Bakerstown, where he saw 13
acres under glass, and was struck with
the high average grade of all the
stock under cultivation.

Baur & Steinkamp sent a number of
cut blooms of carnation St. Nicholas
which attracted much attention. Our
expert agreed that if it was a free
bloomer, it would be a winner. The
judging committee— P. S. Randolph
and Robt. Lillie— awarded it a first-
class certificate.

The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. ex-
hibited a number of the newer carna-
tions and roses which they have had
under observation the past season and
President Burki of the company com-
mented briefly upon them as follows:

Pink Delight is a good producer,
good stiff stem and good color. Prin-
cess Charming is a nice flower, but
slow; more money in Pink Delight.
Bright Spot is well thought of. Glori-
osa is a good thing. Sangamo makes
a good deal of grass; in fact more
grass than money. Of the newer roses
Mrs. Aaron Ward proves more free
than Melody and My Maryland is a
good summer rose. The committee
awarded a cultural certificate.

Jas. Wiseman showed a plant of Er-
langea tomentosa — special mention.
John Bader Co. showed fine cyclamen
and Christmas plants in variety — cul-
tural certificate .

At this point Air. Phillips, gardener
for H J. Heinz, called attention to the
fact that the American public showed
small knowledge of plants as evi-
denced by the few varieties called for:
in England and Germany a much
greater variety is grown, and he
thought our florists should endeavor
to educate the public to a greater
knowledge of plants and bring them
to know there were other good things
to grow besides Boston ferns. To this
answer was made that the florists
could not afford to educate the public,
and also that the general knowledge
of plants shown by the public visiting

The Bureau of Parks, Schenley
Park, showed five varieties of begon-
ias. Of these one of our large retail
florists preferred Agatha in his trade,
but for conservatory work President
Jones prefers (".lory of Cincinnati —
certificate of merit.

Bureau of Parks showed cypripedl-
ums and anlisias. the berries of which
were said to color best at a temper-
ature of 45 degrees — certificate of

G. and J. W. Ludwig showed Christ-
mas greens from Oregon, Mahonia

In honor of the presence of Mr.
Smith, refreshments were served by
the hotel management, which brought
to a close a very pleasant meeting.

This organization held its annual
meeting on the evening of Dec. 12,
when reports from the various officers
wire submitted showing the Society
to be in a high state of efficiency,
which is mainly due to the harmony
prvailing among its workers. A large
number of members were present, and
all seemed to favor the re-election of
the officers, which was done in most
cases, including that of president, and
the follow inn are those elected for the
ensuing year:

LENOX HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The annual meeting of the Lenox

with President Foulsham in the chair.
Treasurer Jack was all smiles when
he read the financial report, stating
that the Society had had one of the
most successful years in its history,
also that the surplus funds were care-
fully invested, and much to the mem
bers' regret asked to be excused from
holding office for another term. The
secretary also read his annual report.

place recently. The trip took two
days and the members were conveyed
in automobiles to seventeen estab-

On the Long Island trip a noon day
stop was made at the dining hall of
John Xiederstein, Middle Village,
where under Frederick Marquardt's
direction a sumptuous meal had been

of Hartford.

The treasurer reported the society
in good financial condition, with a
snug balance in the treasury, and all
bills paid, and with assets (consisting
of two shares of Aetna Life Insurance
Company stock) valued at over $1,000.
The secretary announced that the
present membership, 212, is the larg-
est in the history of the organization.
Three deaths occurred during the past
year, W. W. Myers, Mrs. Francis M. L.
Barnes and William B. May, all of
Hartford, the two latter having been
life members. Mr. May was for many
years the able superintendent of the
sumptuous grounds of James J. Good-
win, and was succeeded in that posi-
tion, in his declining years, by John F.
Huss, our esteemed president. Suit-
able resolutions were adopted concern-
ing the decease of Mr. May. who was
one of the society's founders.

In his address the president re-
viewed the work of the year, referring
especially to the many excellent pa-
pers presented by members last win
ter and spring. His views were quite
optimistic for the future of the society,
whose influence is gradually widening,
until the membership roll embraces
the entire eight counties of the Nut-
meg State.

Our two fall exhibitions were fully
up to our high standard of artistic
merit, and were fairly well patronized.
John Gerard, our pansy enthusiast.
strongly advocates the holding of the
Chrysanthemum Show at New Britain
next fall, instead of at Hartford, and
there is considerable sentiment in the
society in favor of making such a trial.
The free use of a large armory, and
similar attractions, are proffered.

J. A. Weber exhibited three pots of
Cypripedium insigne for which a di-
ploma was awarded.

Owing to the nearness to the holi-
days our usual second December busi-
ness meeting will be omitted, and the
members convene again on the second
Ftidav of the new year.

NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB.
The meeting of the New York Flor-
ists' Club, held on Monday night last
lor tin' •lection of officers for the en-
suing year, was, to say the least, a
most inspiring one. sufficient in every
was to impress all present with the
importance of the work at hand and
the ambitions of those to tackle the
job. To those who attended the Balti-
more convention we might say it was
in great measure a parallel, with Wal-

leaving Mr. Manda the only choice.
In the other cases keen competition
went to work and good-natured rivalry
showed the healthy condition of the
club. John Young alone seemed to
be a magnet for votes, by receiving
75 out of the 85. It was all good na-
ture, permeated with a determination
to make the club the banner organiza-
tion of local societies in the United

States. Six new members were elected
and five others proposed. Prof. John
Craig of the Agricultural Department,
Cornell, was introduced and urged the
members to form part of a state organ-
ization for the purpose of demanding
appropriations from the legislature for
a range of commercial greenhouses to
experiment and further the interests
of commercial floriculture. Prof. Craig
admitted the deplorable weakness of
state machinery at present to assist
the florist, but stated that with the
help of the club the necessary funds
would be obtained. He referred to
acquiring a better knowledge of the
science of soils and discussed the
usual theories attached to experimen-
tal departments. On motion of Mr.
O'Mara the proposition was laid over
to next meeting, with the recommen-
dation that the new officers would
be in and that this would be some-
thing for them to do. Prof. Craig's
ideas will, no doubt, cause the club to
take on a renewed activity on the line
of seeing how the boiler works at Al-
bany and the first step towards this
was to pass a motion tending the
unanimous hearty support of the club
to William F. Kasting of Buffalo for
State Commissioner of Agriculture
and the secretary was instructed to
convey such to Governor Dix. With
Kasting at the head all will know the
Department of Floriculture will be
well taken care of.

Messrs. Traendly, Sheridan and
Young were appointed transportation
committee for the club's representa-
tion at the National Rose and Carna-
tion Show at Detroit. January 10. The
awards committee reported on Totty's
Sunburst rose, giving it 90 noints and
tendered Chas. WTeber its thanks for
exhibit of the new carnation Brook-
lyn. Among the many who took part
in discussions was Beau'ieu, the seeds-
man, who, when called up to relate
conditions in Europe, stated that in
Paris last summer be paid 1C> cents for
a bottle of water and 10 cents for a
bottle of wine when illustrating the
severe drought over there. We should
imagine from this that French impor-
tations should have an extra value ow-
ing to their wine flavor. After the
usual felicitations talks Al. Rickards'
canteen department was duly attended

JOSEPH A. MANDA.
S -" Cover I'ape.
Joseph A. Manda, president-elect of
the New York Florists' Club, was
born in Bohemia. January 4. 1S74. He
came to America in 1885, and served
his apprenticeship with the late Gus
Bergmann at Flatbush, X. Y., 1886-
87. In the following year he went to
Short Hills, N. J., in the employ of
Pitcher & Manda. where he had charge
of the orchid department for six years
and was very successful in the raising
of orchid hybrid, and is credited with
having raised the first orchid hybrid
in America. He then started in busi-
ness as an orchid expert in West
Orange. V J., and has made for him-
self a good record personally and in
business. He is young, energetic and
a hard worker in anything that looks
like duty to self or fellowman. and we
are sure the New York Florists' Club
will have a faithful and efficient leader
in Joe Manda. He has been a member
of the Club for 18 years, and served
on many important working com-
mittees.

Obituary

James Douglas.

The news of the sudden death of
this well Known and highly-respected
gardener and florist will be received
with profound regret. Douglas was
the last of the old school of florists,
and his death has severed a link with
the past that can never be repaired.
Our own columns have frequently
borne witness to his enthusiasm for
such flowers as carnations, auriculas,
polyanthuses and tulips; indeed. Mr.
Douglas was one of our oldest contrib-
utors. Only a week ago he wrote to
us with respect to arrangements for
contributing articles on his favorite
flowers during the present season, and
the first of what promised to be an
invaluable series reached the office
after his death. James Douglas had a
pleasant way of working into his cul-
tural articles a great deal of florists'
lore which was not merely interesting,
but helpful to an understanding of the
true properties of the flowers which
he was describing. His writings were
of permanent value, because they were
based on his own experience as a cul-
tivator. No man excelled Douglas as
a plant grower, and it will be remem-
bered that he exhibited with extraor-
dinary success at most of the gTeat
shows before leaving Great Gearies
garden, Ilford, to start business as a
nurseryman at Bookham. His collec-
tions of Auriculas shown at the R. H.
S. meetings in recent years have ex-
celled anything of the kind ever seen,
and the Council has shown its sense of
the general appreciation of them by
awarding Mr. Douglas the gold medal
on several occasions. His personal
qualities were as high as his profes-
sional attainments, and his name was,
and will remain, always associated
with all that was best in the horticul-
tural world. Amongst his public serv-
ices mav be reckoned thirty-two years"
work on the Committee of the Garden-
ers' Royal Benevolent Institution, and
he was not only a permanent member
of the Floral Committee of the Royal
Horticultural Society, but for some
years represented professional garden-
ers on the Council of that Society. He
gave continuous help to the National
Auricula and Primula Society and oth-
er special societies. Douglas was
awarded the Veitch Memorial Medal,
and in 1899 the Victoria Medal of
Honor. No man deserved these dis-
tinctions more than he, for his life
and work afforded an exemplary
example for the younger garden-
ers of the present day to emulate.

Dec. 2, 1911.

and developing in them useful and or-
namental plants.

Sir Joseph Hooker was educated at
the high school and University of
Glasgow, where he took his medical
degree in 1839. When only twenty-
two he accompanied, as assistant sur-
geon, in reality as a naturalist, the
famous Antarctic expedition of Sir
James Clark Ross in the Erebus and
Keroo. On his return he became
botanist to the Geological Survey of
England. In 1847 he went to India to
investigate the plants of tropical coun-
tries and the flora of the Himalayas.
He was captured and held prisoner by
the Rajah of Sikkim in order to extort
a more favorable treaty from the In-
dian Government. As a punishment
Great Britain annexed Southern Sik-
kim.

Sir Joseph was elected president of
the Royal Society in 1873. He pub-
lished many excellent works on bot-
any and received numerous decora-
tions and honorary degrees.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES.

The Chicago Florists' Club listened
to an entertaining talk on business
prospects in South America at the
meeting on Dec. 7. It was given by
J. McHutchison, of New York.

On Monday night, November 27, F.
W. Kelsey addressed the Tenafly
Borough Club at Tenafly, N. J., on the
topic of "Parks and playgrounds." Mr.
Kelsey is well informed on this sub-
ject and his lecture was enthusiasti-
cally received.

for 1913. The club is now in the best
condition in its history.

The preliminary schedule of prizes
for the American Rose Society, co-
operating with the American Carna-
tion Society and the Detroit Florists'
Club in the exhibition at Detroit, Jan-
uary 10, 11 and 12, 1912, has been is-
sued. It is a liberal list and all in-
terested should send to Benj. Ham-
mond, Fishkill, N. Y., for a copy.

The preliminary premium list of the
Horticultural Society of Chicago for
their first spring exhibition, to be held
March 12 to 17, 1912, has been sent
out and those interested may procure
copies from the secretary, J. H. Bur-
dett, 1620 W. 104 Place, Chicago.
There are 142 classes, aggregating
$2,434.00 in premiums besides numer-
ous medals, etc.

An interesting meeting of the Bar
Harbor (Me.) Horticultural Society
took place on Dec. 7th. Two papers,
"The Future of the Bar Harbor Horti-
cultural Society," by P. W. Blanchard,
and "Mushroom Culture," by Arthur
E. Chilman, gardener to Mrs. Joseph
T. Bowen, were read.

At a regular meeting of the Fall
River (Mass.) Florists' and Gardeners'
Association held Dec. 6, the following
officers were elected: President, E.
T. Lawton; vice-president, William
Stafford; secretary, J. R. Pee; treas-
urer, J. Warburton; trustee, E. T. Law-
ton, C. Warburton and Paul de Nave.

The Englemann Botanical Club met
Monday night, Dec. 11th, in the lecture
room at the Missouri Botanical Gar-
den, St. Louis. Mr. W. W. Chlweiler's
paper on "Recent Developments in
Our Knowledge of Stomata," was well
received. The attendance was large.
Some new features are on for the Jan-
uary meeting.

All officers of the Milwaukee Flor-
ists' Club were reelected at the regu-
lar meeting held Dec. 7. The subject
of the recent flower show was inform-
ally discussed. It is thought best by
some to omit the 1912 show altogether
and concentrate the efforts on the one

The Cincinnati Florists' Society as-
sembled for their regular monthly
meeting at their club rooms. The
meeting was mostly routine work. The
president's desk was gaily decorated
with specimen plants of begonias, one
a sport of Lorraine, shown by Schu-
mann & Wahlers that is much of an
improvement over the old, and some
Glory of Cincinnati plants by J. A.
Peterson.

Albert Sylvester, chairman of the
Transportation Committee for the
joint convention in Detroit next Janu-
ary, requests all intending exhibitors
to address their exhibits Exhibition
Wayne Gardens, Detroit, Mich. Some-
times an exhibitor addresses his flow-
ers to a local friend who perchance
may live outside the regular delivery
zone and thereby brings about an un-
avoidable delay of no less than 24
hours.

The New York Gardeners' Society's
reunion, dinner and bowling tourna-
ment on Dec. 21st, promises to be the
greatest pleasure event in many years.
Many gardeners, greenhouse builders,
seedsmen, nurserymen and landscape
gardeners in and about New York
have notified their intention not to
miss any part of the program. A cele-
brated highland piper will bring back
memories of home to many. Rickards
Bros, will have charge of the music
and songs, Chadwick and Schultz the
side shows; Everett, Duff and Manda
the prize bowling; Marshall, Scott and
Donlan the commissary and so on. It
'is hoped that enough good bowlers
from each society will attend and com-
pete for the prizes offered for club or
society teams. In such manner all the
old and young ones will just have
one jolly big Christmas time of it. The
drawing for the two vases will tase
place immediately before the bowling.
Room will be made for late comers
but let us know just as soon as you
can. J. IVERA DONLAN,

December 16, 1911

Seed Trade

A Seedsman Inventor.

By means of a device patented by
Mr. John Bolgiano of J. Bolgiano &
Suns, and which can be attached to
any furnace, the inventor claims that
not only will the smoke be destroyed
but a large percentage of the fuel will
be saved.

Mr. Bolgiano said that with the aid
of his device one pound of coal will
evaporate 11 5-7 pounds of water,
while an ordinary furnace will only
evaporate 8 5-7 pounds of water with
the same amount of coal. With this
patent he says a furnace will require
less attention and about one-tenth
of the time will have to be given to it
in raking and shaking the fires.

Another "Pure Seed" Bill Introduced.

Curtis Nye Smith, legal representa-
tive for the American Seed Trade As-
sociation, calls the attention of our
readers to the fact that Congressman
Mann, on December 5th, filed another
bill H. R. 144S3, entitled "To regulate
Foreign Commerce by prohibiting the
admission into the United States of
certain adulterated seeds and seeds
unfit for seeding purposes," copies of
which may be secured from the Clerk
of the House of Representatives, U. S.,
Washington, D. C.

NOTES.
Roswell, N. M. — The Farmers' Sup-
ply Co., a new seed store, has been
incorporated with a capital stock of
$10,000. E. W. Mitchell and R. P.
Bean will have charge.

Grand Rapids, Mich. — Laverne F.
Jones, formerly proprietor of the L. F.
Jones Seed Co., was adjudged bank-
rupt on his own petition on Dec. 2.
Liabilities, $11,000; no assets.

Santa Clara, Calif. — The Morse Seed
Co. has just completed the work of in-
stalling twenty-four additional seed-
assorting machines and a ten horse-
power motor at their quarters in the
Cured Fruit Warehouse.

ator and hopes to develop from small
beginnings to a large and prosperous

A. T. Boddington, New York City —
Boddington's Garden Guide, Spring,
1912. We always look with interest
for the arrival of this annual visitor
for the title page is sure to present
some unique and artistic conception
by Mr. Bunyard. In the present in-
stance sweet peas in lavender, gold
and green are the subject of design
and, treated in semi-conventional man-
ner, they form a pretty picture. The
contents of the book are strictly up-to-
date, as might be expected from this
well-known and enterprising house. We
note among the hardy plant novelties
offered several of the new Wilson col-
lections, including the splendid Clema-
tis montana rubens. Many of the il-
lustrations in this catalogue are very
beautiful.

CHICAGO NOTES.
Holiday Decorative Stock.
Whatever the bulk of the holly may
prove itself to be, the advance boxes
are good stock, with plump scarlet
berries thickly strewn over it, and the
best boxes are bringing five dollars.
Somehow the earliest shipments al-
ways make a name extremely hard for
later anivals to live up to, but as
visual the florist is hopeful. Ilex ber-
ries have given unmistakable evi-
dence of their nearness to perfection.
Full round berries and quantities ot
l hem from the Michigan woods are
now decorating the florists' windows
and being made into wreaths, usually
one half of the wreath being of some
Other material. Two dollars per box
Iced for the ilex. The market on
bouquet wreathing is a little uncertain.

Tl arliest shipments brought eight

and ten cents per pound, but now the
price has dropped to six cents, and a
certain enthusiasm of former years is
lacking. Evergreen wreathing is sell-
ing about as last year. Christmas
trees, great and small, are here in
quantity, with large shipments of
spruce and pine from Maine tending
eep prices down. The little table
trees are selling well, judging from
the number seen in the shoppers'
anus The department stores have
them leaders, and cut heavily
into the P.orists' local sales. The pop-
ularity of the little tree is now as-
sured! the wholesale houses handling
thousands during the month of Decem-
ber. The scarlet and green roping,
which took so well last year, promises
to do the same this year, the scarlet
especially. Christmas bells reached
the street corner stands in such quan-
tities in past years that only the bet-
ti i qualities can be said to be popular
now. while the stars are decidedly on
t he wane. There is nothing altogether
new offered for the Christmas of 1911.

All the retail florist stores have on
their holiday dress and they never

tastily attired than at

this time. Nothing surprisingly new
,,ted in materials, but there is
simplicity and i l< a the

Flower Market Reports

The continued unseason-
BOSTON able hot weather has had
an unforeseen and disas-
trous effect on business and on much
of the stock being received. Roses
especially are coming in soft and lack-
ing the stamina which made them so
sturdy looking a few days ago. What
the effect will be on the Christmas
product is not yet apparent, but there
is certainly some food for anxiety.
The grower who is wise — realizing the
situation will, for the time being, cut
his roses in a more immature state
so that their keeping qualities may be
preserved. Carnations are not over-
plentiful and are hardly up to stan-
dard set in previous years at this
date, a condition which may be due
more or less to the weather condi-
tions. Lily of the valley is in good
quality and full supply, but market
value is low, quality considered, and
the same is true of sweet peas, which
are selling for less than they are in-
trinsically worth. Longiflorum lilies
are all right and with paper white
narcissi are enjoying a normal oall.
Violels fluctuate from day to day in
quantity and in demand and are a
cause of constant perplexity to the
wholesale dealer. Chrysanthemums
are not quite finished, but the rem-
nants in sight are of little value. Or-
chids and gardenias in moderate sup-
ply and moderate demand. A few
poinsettias are in.

The sale of green material is al-
ready far in excess of the previous
record for so early and the ad\
orders booked for holly, boxwood and
laurel indicate an unprecedented de-
mand for all such stock.

It looked as if Indian
BUFFALO summer had come upon

us the past week as
throughout the week the mercury reg-
istered no lower than 40 degrees.
Bright, sunshiny days did not bring on
stock any faster than could be con-
sumed, as chrysanthemums were prac-
tically over and the demand concen-
trating on other lines. Up to Friday
there was a scarcity of medium roses
and carnations and prices had ad-
vanced a notch, though there was suffi-
cient other stock such as narcissus,
lily of the valley, violets, Roman hya-
cinths, stevia, etc. Beauties are im-
proving in quality in the long grades,
but the short are poor, with only a
slight demand. Richmonds are fine,
also Killarneys and Bonsilene sells
well. Violets have light demand. On
Friday and Saturday there was enough
of everything to supply all. The flor-
ists are in condition for a good holi-
day hustle and the outlook is promis-
ing for a busy ending of the month.

The w e e k following

CHICAGO Thanksgiving was an

• ' r y one.

Warm, damp weather prevailed and

only a few hours of sunshine have

bei ii noted tor ten days, stuck is

Dg the result and unless colder

and clearer weather comes soon to re-

the strain, stock will not '
its best for the holidays. Carnations

particularly needing the suns
and prices have been low all the
week. Roses are a little less in de-
mand than last month for trade in
al has not been up to the aver-
Cou are looking bare since

the great bulk of chrysanthemums are
gone. Some very fair specimens are

seen here and there, the most of the
stock, however, being short and weak
stemmed. A few Chadwiek are ex-
pected to hold on till Christmas. Some
fine mignonette with 24-inch stems Is
seen. Violets are of good quality con-
sidering the mild weather, and sell
out fairly well. Paper whites are
everywhere and many bunches are
finding their way to the barrel. Kil-
larney is queen of the roses now and
will play a big part in the Christmas
trade. Beauties are keeping their
growers hoping and praying for sun-
shine.

Last week closed
CINCINNATI badly enough. The
start of this week
followed in the footsteps of the close
of the preceding one. The volume of
business transacted was large, but not
nearly enough to take up all the stock.
\ week and a half of spring-like wea-
ther pushed out roses and carnations
in particular. From Sunday of this
week until the middle the rain man
held sway and tortured the long-suffer-
tnortals with a continuous rain.
H diil not. however, defer the shop-
It is a trifle early as yet for
them to place their Christmas orders
with the florists, but they will be drop-
ping in before long. In roses. Killar-
are coming into crop splendidly,
and will be at their best just before
the 25th of the month. The supply of
other roses, too. is good. The grow-
ers of poinsettias in this vicinity ex-
to be able to have heavy cuts of
choice stock any time from now on
as they are needed, r.irnations are in
supply owing to the warm wea-
ther. The quantity in this line is in-

violets are coming in ; American Beau-
ty roses are in tine shape and there
are some choii e home-grown orchids.
The past week has
NEW YORK been a disappoint-
ment to growers and
to their wholesale market representa-
tives who had reason to believe that
things had started on the upward
drive towards the holiday standard.
The weather clerk undoubtedly has to

may send us between now and Christ-

unusual conditions which, however,
must be endured while they last. Re-
ceipts on all lines are heavy and dis-

Are still plentiful and interfere more

princess pine are in very poor condi-

and port. ins of a good advance in

weeks has been mild and clear, with
the result that all crops are in cxcep-

finish. The carnation market is in
good shape; both production and qual-
ity improved, with a firmer trend in
prices. Beacon. Ward. Gloriosa, the
three Enchantri isses, and White Pi r-
fection are especially fine. Plenty of
fine orchids and good sale. Dendro-
brium formosum, cattleyas, Oncidium
pi eiosum, cyprlpediums, spray or-
chids, make up a fine selection for th >
on. No up-to-date flower store is
complete without this loader and gar-
denias, which are also good now and
in liberal supply. Violets, lily ol

sweet peas, mignonette and lilies are
ill plentiful and excellent.

NEWS NOTES.

Dalton, Mass.— J. R. Shield, for the
last sixteen years superintendent for
Mr. F. G. Cram, has resigned his posi
tion and will enter the commercial
line, having bought a greenhouse es-
tablishment in YVoburn, Mass., where
he will take possession, February 1st,
1912.

Fall River, Mass. — The Watuppa
water board has decided not to build
a greenhouse as it was found that the
lowest bid for its construction was
higher than was looked for. The
board has decided to see if the plants
cannot be stored in the park commis-
sion greenhouse.

Victoria, B. C. — Brown Bros., of Van-
couver, have purchased the store and
greenhouses of the Fairview Esqui-
mau Greenhouses. A new location for
the store has been secured and the
present store will only be continued
till the new location is ready. Mr.
Bornhoft is the new manager.

Providence, R. I. — William Patry has
purchased the retail store of O. S.
Hughes, which the latter opened about
six weeks ago.

Leo Engal has opened a new retail
store known as The Rosery at 305
Weybosset street. Mr. Engal also con-
ducts the flower department of one of
the large department stores here.

Boston, Mass. — The Flower Growers'
Sales Co., Inc., have opened an office
at la Park street with W. H. Welchans
as business manager. They have a
good basement under the new store
and a line of plants will be carried
which could not be done in the old lo-
cation. A large refrigerator is being
built at the back of the store. The
stalls in the flower market will be re-
tained for a time at least.

Among the prizes awarded at the
Maryland Week Exposition at Balti-
more last week were the following:

Mrs. Henry Jacobs, 15 first and two
second prizes for orchids, roses, chrys-
anthemums, carnations and foliage
plants.

at $25 each, the gift to the exposition
of Mrs. Jacobs. One went for the best
decorated table and the other for the
best offering of foliage plants.

James A. Gary, first prize for poin-
settia, and another for display of
chrysanthemums. I. H. Moss, of
Govanstown, blue ribbon for window-
boxes and evergreens.

First prize for carnations to Charles
Siegwart, of Caroll, Baltimore County.
He also received a certificate of merit
for a seedling carnation.

Prizes were awarded John McCor-
mick also, for carnations.

NEW YORK STATE COLLEGE OF

AGRICULTURE— BULLETIN

NO. 306.

This is the fourth bulletin in the
peony series, being the result of the
joint studies of the Department of
Horticulture and the American Peony
Society. This bulletin has been su-
pervised by Professor John Craig and
prepared by Professor L. D. Batchelor,
assisted by Messrs. B. H. Fan- and
Joseph Dauphin, peony specialists,
representing the Peony Society. The.
bulletin contains a classification of the
peonies in the Cornell plots and a
careful description of all varieties thus
far identified. A list of corrected
names and descriptions of varieties
previously described is included. The
publication reports the results of the
tests of the very large co-operative
collection of peonies growing on the
Cornell grounds.

The collection originally was sup-
posed to contain 1933 varieties but the
work, which is rapidly approaching
completion after seven years' study,
gives indication that there are less
than 500 distinct varieties. These have
been described in the four reports and
the list of synonyms has been pre-
pared with great care. Studies were
also made on the grounds of several
peony specialists and the descriptions
of a few additional varieties thus ob-
tained are included in the bulletin.
Practically every variety of the peony
has been fully described but for the in-
formation of intending planters lists
are given of the best varieties for cut-
flowers and for landscape effect.

A permanent collection of all the
distinct varieties under their correct
names will be maintained on the
grounds of the Horticultural Depart-
ment where it may be inspected by
anyone interested in peonies.

A WORD TO ADVERTISERS AND
OTHERS.
Mail deliveries of third-class matter
are already noticeably delayed by the
holiday blockade. Parties mailinq
electros or photographs for use in our
advertising or reading columns should
hear this in mind and send a day or
two earlier than usual or, still better,
use letter postage up to a reasonable
amount and, where time is close, add
"special delivery" stamps, until the
Christmas rush is over.

I— ET~ US supply your wants i rt Uilies this season
We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer U not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but Is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrlsii is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There is very little, If any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this la disposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear In mind that we were the original introducers of Harrlsii In Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining oar present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 6-7 inch, as usually offered.

6-7 inch bulbs, 835 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lota, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 inch *»••"»«, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lota, $175.00 per 1,000.

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns in the following varieties, — good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown In pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Oriental Poppies

If asked which is the showiest and, above all, the most
intense-colored hardy perennial for near and distant
effect, I believe I would unhesitatingly say, the Oriental
Poppy. There is nothing brighter than the vivid
orange-red of a mass of huge flowers of Papaver orien-
tate standing out boldly against the green leafage of
shrubs or trees, with a swaying surface of lawn as fore-
ground. Seeing the same large flowers on a herbaceous
border and beholding the silky-lustered petals surround-
ing the almost black center at close range, the whole, in
character, is bound to impress us as a veritable revela-
tion of beauty, irresistible even to the dullest eye. Cer-
tainly, we have seen this beauty since the earliest days
of our vocation, and yet, it exerts its charm anew every
ensuing season. As a true representation of that mar-
velous, but fleeting beauty of the Orient — the land of
the wonders of Arabian Nights, of gay colors in apparel
and flowery language, we love and cherish Papaver ori-
entale. The sudden bursting forth of glory and its
quick vanishing away is the inside feature which, per-
haps imperceptibly, intensifies our admiration.

We have been freely planting Oriental Poppies and
we shall more so continue in the future as soon as we
keep abreast of the times and do not any longer over-
look the fact that during recent years a number of new
garden hybrids of merit have come to the front. Most
conspicuous among those introductions are the salmon
pink shades, represented by these varieties: Princess
Victoria Luise, Salmon Queen, Silberblick, Queen Alex-
andra, Lady Roscoe and Mary Studholme. Of the scar-
lets Goliath is the most robust growing one, with im-
mense flowers on extraordinary long, erect and stiff
stems. Other large flowering varieties of similar shade
are: Duke of Teck, Rembrandt and Royal Scarlet.
Mahogany bears dark crimson maroon flowers, while
Prince of Orange and Brightness appear in shining
orange red.

The general attitude of American society toward
these novelties has been most favorable. Especially the
delicate salmon pink shades have met with keen inter-
est and unreserved approval. They are, indeed, acqui-

Oriental Poppies

Papaver orientate, Princess Victoria Luise

sitions of value. Landscape gardeners and garden ar-
chitects, when making their plans for new herbaceous
plantations cannot afford to omit the new garden hy-
brids of Oriental Poppies.

Flowers of poppies need careful handling, when used
for indoor decoration. They should be cut early in the
morning, while just beginning to burst open. If kept
out of draught, they will fully develop in water and
stand up for at least two days.

In the garden the foliage is to be removed from the
plants, as soon as it commences to dry off. New leaves
appear then again during August and September to
stay until the frost comes.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of Florists' Stock

ACALTPHA8

These plants are very ornamental and can be used
for mixed borders or subtropical bedding and they also
can be grown into excellent pot specimens suitable for
using in a good many ways. Where you have some old
plants they can be cut back to good wood, some of the
old soil shaken out, and then repotted into fresh soil.
Place them in a temperature of 65 to 70 degrees and
keep well syringed, with a moist atmosphere, and in a
few weeks they will be covered with young growth which
will be just the thing for a batch of cuttings. These can
be placed in a strong bottom heat in sand and kept quite
close with some shade and they will soon root. When
they have rooted move them into 3-inch pots, give them
some good loam, leaf mold and well-rotted manure as a

compost and keep them in the same temperature until
they have become well established, when they can be
grown in from 60 to 65 degrees at night and these will
make by spring very serviceable stock for either deco-
rative or bedding use.

CYilBIDITJMS

It is always better with these orchids to do any re-
potting or top-dressing just when they show signs of
making new growth. When potting it is well to do it
in such manner that they may go without any more
potting for two or three years or longer, as they grow
into finer specimens and flower more freely when th«
roots are not disturbed so often. They succeed in a
compost, one-half of fibrous loam, in which all the finer
particles have been screened out and the other half

s94

HORTICULTURE

December 23, 1911

equal proportions of leaf mold, peat and chopped live
sphagnum, intermixed with some coarse sand and lumpy
charcoal. The pots should be about one-third full of
potsherds and charcoal to give good drainage. Work
the material firmly around the fleshy roots, leaving the
ba6e of the plant just even with the top of the pot.
Until they begin to make new roots water very sparing-
ly, but when they become established give due attention
to watering as they will want a more liberal supply.
Give them a temperature of about 52 to 55 degrees at
night and with sun heat let it run up to about 70 de-
grees. Such varieties as Cymbidium eburneum, C.
Lowianum, C. giganteum and C. Lowii eburneum, are
all beautiful orchids of lasting qualities.

CYPRIPEDIUMS

As these orchids go out of flower they should be
overhauled and divided where they are getting too large.
Pot culture is preferable with most species. When re-
potting be sure to use clean pots to prevent any attack of
fungus and half fill the pots with clean crocks and some
lumps of charcoal intermixed so the drainage will be ef-
fective. A thin layer of sphagnum should be laid over
the crocks and charcoal. The plant can then be placed
in position and the compost pressed in through the roots
rather firmly, finishing the surface off in a convex shape.
A good general compost to use is two parts of fibrous
peat, one part of chopped live sphagnum, and for species
such as Cypripedium insigne one-third of fibrous sod
chopped up added to the above will grow them good.
They should have from this out a well ventilated and
bright house. Of course air will have to be admitted in
less or greater quantities according to the outside con-
ditions of the weather. When the temperature on bright
mornings has reached 65 degrees they should have a lit-
tle air put on, gradually increasing until the maximum
of 72 is reached and reduce the air the same way. With
dull days, about 68 degrees should be maintained, with
10 degrees less at night until the approach of spring.
Give them enough water at the roots to keep the compost
moist, but allow them to dry out occasionally so as to
keep the compost sweet. Syringe overhead on good
day-.

I IT.E OF PALMS DURING WINTER

To ensure a free, healthy growth later on when the
season arrives for renewed activity in root action, all the
family of palms should now have a short season of rest.
This can be brought about by lowering the temperature
in the different departments, ventilation and less mois-
ture in the atmosphere and at the roots. All palms of a
tropical nature can be reduced to about 60 degrees at
night, while the cooler growing kinds can have as low
a temperature as 50 degrees, with advance of 10 degrees
with sunshine. Ventilation should be given with intel-
ligence so as not to cause draughts or sudden falling or
rising of the temperature. A dryer atmosphere is an
indispensable factor to produce the required conditions
for resting palms, but sufficient water should be used on
walks under benches for the prevention of a harsh, dry
air. Plenty of light is of great importance, especially

through the winter season, but care will have to be taken
that they have enough of shade when the sun's rays be-
come more powerful, to prevent the scorching. Give
water only when necessary, so as to keep the soil in the
pots from getting saturated. It is 'well to go over and
give all palms a good cleaning and sponging about once
a month. This will keep down insect life.

DRACAENAS

From now on there is no better time to increase
your stock of the many fine dracaenas. The most expe-
ditious way of propagating these plants is from the
ripened stems. If you have any old plants that have
attained a considerable height and have lost a good many
of their lower leaves, these can be utilized for propaga-
tion; also imported stems can be procured for this pur-
pose. The stems can be cut up into pieces, with two
eyes to each piece, and placed in a warm propagating
frame where there is a bottom heat of 80 or 85 degrees.
They root well in a mixture of coarse sand and chopped
sphagnum in equal parts. Just cover the pieces and
keep the atmosphere in a humid state and most of the
pieces will start and push up young shoots. When these
have made a growth of two or three inches they can be
cut from the old stem and placed in a warm propagating
bed where they will soon root. When they have made
some nice roots they should be potted into 3-inch pots,
using a mixture of turfy loam three parts, leaf mold one
part, and a liberal sprinkling of sharp sand. Keep close
and shaded for about ten days so they become well estab-
lished, when they can be placed in a house of 60 to 65
degrees at night which will push them along.

GETTING READY FOR GRAFTING ROSES

Manetti stock is arriving now and should have care.
Lose no time in having it unpacked, and while doing this
pick the bundles that have the buds swelled so they can
be potted right away; the others can be heeled in a cool
shed or cellar that is frost proof, placing loam between
the alternating layers. They can stay here until wanted
for potting. It is a good plan to pot up as many as pos-
sible on arrival. Be sure to have them potted good and
firm, they can then be given a house where the tempera-
ture stands from 40 to 45 degrees at night and give them
a good soaking of water, with a syringing on all bright
mornings. When they have made some roots they can
be given a temperature of from 50 to 55 to hurry them
into right shape for grafting.

THE FORCING OF TULIPS

Tulips that were boxed up early and have their flats
well filled with roots can now be placed in a house where
they will have a temperature of about 50 degrees at
night. As growth advances they can be given any-
where from 60 to 75 degrees at night, but you
will get your best flowers with about 60 degrees.
Where you want quick development, the higher tem-
perature will have to be given. Provide some shade
with some light material such as cheese cloth, in order
to produce a good stem. Keep plenty of water at the
roots, with lots of moisture in the atmosphere, and you
will have ideal conditions.

Fruits and Vegetables Under Glass

LATE QUAPES

Now is the I value good grapes. Right at

Christmas time we appreciate them as much as on a hot
summer evening. With Buitable varieties planted and
proper treatment it is an easy matter to have good plump
berries on into the Nevi "i ear. Knowing the right sort
to plant for this purpose i- half the battle, as mosl late
grapes can be grown as mid-season to early varieties but
to put the shoe on the other foot means a short fit. The
best known and consequenth mosl grown late grape is
Black Alicante — easily distinguished by the heavy shoul-
ders carried by most bunches. This variety will hang
than any other and seldom does a berry go wrong
in it. Like most late grapes it has extra thick skin
which is rather unpalatable, but is the secret of its keep-
ing powers. A vigorous grower, of lasting constitution,
sete verj freelj and stands the hot summer sun with-
out a scald or burn. Undoubtedly the latest and best
ng late grape grown.

I.aih hnwns Seedling is ol'lcn coupled with the fore-
going, a variety of more recenl introduction, carrying
a -mallei- bunch of slightlj better Savored berries. Ai
certain stages of its growth it is liable to burn and
Bcald, consequently is not so reliable. Gros Colman is a
well known late grape, its large foliage and magnifi-
cent berries at once attracting attention. This grape
takes a long time to ripen and will soon show signs of
over cropping or poor treatment. The fruit must be
thoroughly ripe before using. It is second-rate in flavoT
at all times, but best just before the berries would
shrivel. Often assumes a reddish tint which does not
make it look so inviting as Alicante.

Apply Towers is one we rind keeps well up to Decem-
ber 1st. The flavor is superior to any of the foregoing
up to this date. It ripens three weeks to a month ear-
lier than they, but keep- well while hanging on the
vines. Medium size in bunch and berry, the llesh of
which is sweet and juicy. This would be an acquisition
to any late house furnishing first-quality fruit before
the others come in.

Late white grapes are not so numerous. Muscat of
Alexandria will keep a long time after ripening, but
cannot be classed as a late grape. Lady lint f has many
good points to recommend it. The flavor is excellent, of
medium size of bunch and berry, sets very freely and
keeps for a considerate time without shriveling. This
grape can be had in great shape for Christmas. When
the object is to keep the crop as late as possible, keep the
house cold through the early spring, leaving full air
on night and day. The buds can be allowed to burst
before any set temperature need be applied, after which
it should not fall below 45. Grow them as cool as ad-
visable right along and alt. r the fruit is ripe in the fall
gradually drop the house down to 45. Keep the atmos-
phere <li> and whenever rain or fogs make it damp,
keep a genii! warmth in the pipes. With ripe fruit
hanging, at no time should they be allowed to become
real hot. Let the temperature drop first. Excessive
fire heat causes the berries to shrivel. A gentle heat
with air on at all times should be the axiom.

POT VINES AND PEACHES

Pot vines and peaches started the first of the month
should now have their temperatures raised to 45 to 50
at night. This will be sufficient for the peach trees
until they are in flower. Keep the houses well moist
to encourage the trees to break, and shut up early enough
to raise the temperature to 65 or 70. Trees that are
anyway sluggish in bursting their buds can be treated to
a little steam in thi phere by spraying water on

the hot pipes.

TYING IN PEACH TREES

Nothing is more pleasing in a fruit range than a per-
fectly shaped peach or nectarine tree tied on to a trellis.
Often it takes some years to attain the desired effect —
an evenly balanced and symmetrical tree, covering the
whole trellis with good fruiting wood. Nor can this be
attained with winter tying alone. During the whole
growing season this end must be in view. The com-
mencement is right from the time of disbudding and
continues right through the season. When a growth is
■'heeled in" its position and size at the season's end
should be carried in the "mind's eye." In so doing you
can see what wood will be discarded at the next winter
pruning and so you are ahead of your job and can train
i hem in the wa\ i lii -\ should go. Every growth should
be Kepi straight and no two should cross. The bottom
of a tree should always be a first consideration as this is
not usually abundantly furnished with strong young
growths. See that as much good wood as possible is laid
in I ere and the center will always (ill itself up. It is
advisable to leave a small space in the center on this
account. The object, in tying a tree thus is that it
should look like the ribs of a gigantic fan — no two
branches meeting each other if they were to be extended.
To commence, t ie the -t ronger branches into position first
with strong string and the Bmaller ones will find their
places afterward-. Leave room enough in the ties for
the branches to swell and keep them from pressing hard
against any part of the metal trellis by placing a thin
lathe or piece of old hose pipe cut through the center
between them, othervi tse they are liable to "gum" as the
metal becomes hot with the summer sun.

EFFECT OF WATER ON MUSHROOMS

Watering a mushroom bed is usually conceded to be
the last drive for a crop. Beds having cropped for
some considerable period will gradually wear out and
watering will put new life into them for a time. This
has a peculiar effect on a few of the smaller fungi that
may be just emerging from the soil. They are unable
to live in the sodden soil for a few hours until it can dry
out a little, turn black and are useless. As long as a
fair amount of mushrooms are coming, refrain from
watering as this certain loss is bound to be felt. Were
it possible to keep the soil half moist during the whole
time the greatest results would be achieved, as it is al-
ways noticeable how a crop comes through after a water-
ing and the bed has got to this state of "half and half."
When watering use water having a temperature of 65 to
', 0 and soak the bed.

It has been a very common habit with
Worthy of a many old-school gardeners in this
better fate country to deplore the decline of inter-
est in the cultivation of the so-called
hard-wooded greenhouse plants, — New Holland and
Cape plants, etc. — in recent years, and to make compari-
sons between the present day florist and his predecessor
of a generation ago, not at all complimentary to the
judgment or cultural attainments of the plantsman of
today. This line of criticism has been aimed solely at
i he American grower. But we notice in The Garden, of
London, issue of December 2, 1911, a lengthy communi-
cation lamenting over a similar decadence as prevalent
in England, the writer intimating that the gardener
under glass of the present time is far from being the
equal of his fellows whose displays of ericas, epacrises,
boronias, eriostemons, hoveas, and the like were the
crowning triumphs of cultural skill as displayed in the
shows of the past. It is some consolation to know that
the defection from old-time standards is, therefore, not
local but that if we have fallen from grace we have done
it in good company and, further, that the contributing
<;aiiM's have been practically the same, viz., the encroach-
ment of the soft-wooded plants on the field, due in a
large degree to the advancement in greenhouse construc-
tion and heating facilities— conditions which are not to
the liking of the old-time hard-wooded favorites, the dis-
appearance of which all plant lovers must regret.

In the following pages we have en-

An honor deavored to set forth in a somewhat

well bestowed fragmentary manner the stupendous

achievements of Victor Lemoine and
to remind our readers, while the man is yet alive, of
the invaluable services he lias rendered to horticulture.
If Victor Lemoine's garden children were to be all elim-
inated from our nurserymen's stock and catalogues it
would leave an appalling void and a large share of our
garden beauty would be gone. If Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine alone should be taken from the florists' holi-
day plant list, how sadly we should miss it ! In awarding
the George B. White Medal of Honor to this world bene-
factor, the trustees of the Massachusetts Horticultural So-
ciety made no mistake. It is safe to say that no individual
the world over, has done more or as much for this cause,
not only in recent years but for more than half a century
than Mr. Lemoine. As far back as 1855 he received the
Medal of Honor of the Exposition Universelle in Paris.
The great work of Lemoine as a hybridizer is too well
known to require comment now, except that we cannot
refrain from again alluding to its amazing scope. While
other hybridizers have distinguished themselves with
one or perhaps two genera of plants, Lemoine's work has
extended over many, while his work on one of several
genera, such as Syringa, Philadelphus. Deutzia. Clematis,
Gladiolus or Begonia (several other genera might be
enumerated) alone, would have well entitled him to the
honor he is now accorded. The work of Victor Lemoine;
like that of the Darwins, is a family work. Mr. Emile
Lemoine has co-operated with his renowned father for
many years and the third generation is already inter-
ested in it. But the horticultural world will with
unanimity agree with us when we express the hope that
the distinguished senior member of the house may yet
be spared many years to continue his great and useful
work.

a Frenchman by our contemporary on an occasion some
four years ago has deeply impressed us (and doubtless
many others) with the universality of horticulture and
the utter ignoring of political or racial divisions and
prejudices which is everywhere characteristic of the true
follower of tins, the noblest pursuit in which man can
engage.

Almost sixty years of honorable and highly successful
work, in one of the most difficult lines of horticulture,
is the record of the subject of our sketch. Since 1852
Victor Lemoin oted himself and his time to the

development of new and useful varieties of the horticul-
turists' most cherished subjects. There is no spot on
this wide world wherever plants and flowers are raised,
where we do not find representatives of Lemoine's hy-
brids or introductions ; no florist or gardener, who has
not. at one time or another, handled Lemoine's produc-

of Lemoine's novelties, what treasures were being placed
within their reach. Still hale and hearty and laboring
as industriously as ever this gTand man at the age of
88 continues his loved occupation and it is to be hoped
that a life so glorious and useful may be extended for
years to come.

Victor Lemoine was born at Delme (Lorraine), Oct.
21, 1823. His ancestors for generations back had been
gardeners. After bis college studies at Vic-sur-Seille
he devoted several years to traveling and then worked
successively for Bauman at Bollweiller (Lorraine), and
Louis Van Houtte of Ghent (Belgium), also Miellez of
Lille (France), and in 1850 established himself, with
small means, as a florist and landscape gardener at Nan-
cy (Lorraine). There he was a member of the town
council from 1871 to 1888. On June 13, 1885, he was
made a knight and on April 3, 1894, an officer of the

i i i -. i results of Lemoine's labor (double-nov
portulacca) were mentioned in the Revue Horticole,
[852. Then in L854 the first double potentilla was in-
troduced to the trade under the name of "Gloire de
Nancy." Also his firsl Streptoi arpus hybrids, produced
by crossing S. biflorus with S. polyanthus in the hands
of Veitch gave rise to the many now widely-distributed
beautiful varieties. At the same time Lemoine tried to
improve the fuchsia and raised the double-flowered hy-
brid "Solferino" which was well thought of for many

In 1862 Lemoine introduced Spirea callosa alba. Thi
same year he succeeded in raising several hybrids of
Monochaetum, among others M. Lemoinei and M. serice-
imi multiflorum, both of which are still cultivated. Also
Clematis lanuginosa Candida, a hybrid from C. lanugi-
oosa and C. patens. In 1863 he gave to the trade
> matis erecta fl. pi., and in 1864 C. lauguinosa nivea,
the firsl clematis with large white flowers. He also en-
deavored to improve the pyrethrum and introduced some
i went v new double varieties which are still found in
most collections. Eight varieties of mimulus, hybrids
of M. cupreus and M. quinquevulnerus were evolved the
same year. In 1865 Clethra barbinervis, Stachyurus
praeeos and Weigela arborescens were introduced, and
in L866 Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora and Xylos-
teum Philomelae. Spirea syringaeflora and S. inter-
media, hybrids of S. callosa. also Delphinium elatum
Keteleeri, were raised. This same year, Lemoine sent
first genuine double-flowered Zonal pelargonium.
under the name Gloire de Nancy. This is the parent
all the beautiful double-flowered varieties which
are now raised everywhere. At the exposition in Paris
■here were already quite a number of varieties in
sjst others: M. Lemoine and Marie Le-
moine, : I'riomphe. scarlet.

186? was made notable by the introduction of Abuti-

lon malvaeflorum from Mexico and Platycrater Sieboldi.

from Japan. In 1868 Lemoine succeeded in crossing

Diervilla and Weigela (W. arborescens and D. multi-

tlora i and raised amongst a number of new varieties.

Weigela Lavallei, which has not been superseded to this

day. The next year he set out to study the influence of

ire de Versailles: also raised Begonia hybrida

Duchartrei — a hybrid from B. Pearcei and B. subpeltata

— Saxifraga crassifolia ciliaris and Clematis lanuginosa

Froebel.

In 1870 came the introduction of Stauntonia hex-

ophilla and the raising of Weigela Lemoinei and other

similar varieties, by crossing W. rosea with W. multi-
flora, and in is; 1 Lemoine gave to the trade the double-
fiowered white Clematis Lucie Lemoine. The same
raised Saxifraga crassifolia Eol. aureo-marmorata
and Begonia alata coccinea by crossing B. Sedeni and I'..
i. In 1872 lie introduced Abutilon Boule de
and raised Begonia Corail Pose, from B. Veitchii
aeflora also Philadelphus dianthiflorus plenus.

In the year 1874 Lemoine surprised the gardeners
wnli his first double Tuberous Begonia, B. Lemoinei,
which was followed in the course of the nexl lew
b\ Clone de Nancy and a large number of double varie-
ties in all In 187-1 he also introduced Phlox

decussata Croix d'Honneur, with striped flowers, Cle-
matis integrifolia Duandi and Salvia pratensis pur-
purata and raised Pelargonium Mad. Thibaut, double.
In 1875 he >iieeeeded in crossing Libonia floribunda and
L. Penrhosiensis producing Libonia rutilans, and intro-
duced Fuchsia Boliviana from Mexico.

His introduction in 1876 of Dahlia gracilis brought
into vogue the single-flowered dahlias. The same year
he brought out a number of new varieties of Primula
cortusoides, of which kind there were then only three or
four sorts known. He introduced Oxalis Ortgiesi from
Peru, Salvia nigrescens from Bolivia and Gynerium
jubatum from the Cbimborasso mountains and by cross-
ing Clematis lanuginosa with C. Jackmani he raised
Andre Leroy and others. Further he raised this year
Weigela Abel Carriere, still one of the finest today, also
the single Lilac Jaqties Callot and Gloire de Lorraine,
and eight more varieties of double tuberous begonias.

In 187 7 Lemoine introduced Hydrangea Japonica
elegantissima and Begonia racemiflora from Mexico and
raised Abutilon Darwini gr., four new varieties of Pel-
argonium peltato-zonale, also Zonal pelargonium Paul
Louis Courier, besides several double pelargoniums. At
this time only one double variety (with lilac-colored
flowers) was known. Then he gave to the trade this
year a number of new fuchsias, early and late flowered.
In 1878 he introduced Iresine Wallisii and Xandina
monstrosa var. from Columbia and raised several valu-
able new pelargoniums, mostly dwarfs. At the interna-
ex i . C it i.in in Paris, he sliowed the firsl double-
lowered lilac (Syringa Lemoinei), Gladiolus Lemoinei
and Gladiolus Marie Lemoine. These latter were pro-
duced by crossing Gladiolus purpureo-auratus from the
Cape and a variety of Gladiolus Gandavensis. In 1879
he introduced Lobelia lutea, Rubus phoenicolasius, de-
nial is coccinea and C. viticella alba, also raised Weigela
Emile Galle, Ceanothus Aerostat and Phare, besides five
new Primula cortusoides and Philadelphus multiflorus
pi. In 1880 he introduced Carpenteria californica.
Hydrangea jap. Eol. tri-color, Arnebia echoides and
Clematis Marie Boisselol and raised double Pelargoni-
um Chancelier Faidherbe. In 1881 he introduced
i erasus Sieboldei fl. pi., Chrysanthemum Gloire Rayon-
nante and other plants and raised Wistaria fruteseens
alba. Syringa Rubella pi., Pelargonium Belle de Jour
and Begonia Davisii hyb. fl. pi.

In 1882 Lemoine introduced Tacsonia Jamesonii
Quito and Primula cortusoides Mme.

Emile Galle, Fuchsia boliviana rosea, Pelargoni-
um Jeanne d'Arc (white), P. La Rosiere, Syr
inga Matthieu de Dombasle (double), Glai
Lafayette, etc. He gave to the trade Montbretia
tsmiaeflora, a double-crossed seedling from M.
and crocosmia aurea. Tn 1883 he introduced
Streptosol J esonii and Philadelphus microphillus
from California and raised a number of new clematises,

permanent organization of the Club;
therefore, the details of what hap-

members who were active at that time,

Lonsdale was the first secretary. But
we have no record of how long Mr.
Lonsdale acted as secretary. He was
elected secretary of the S. A. F., at
thr meeting here in August, L88G,
therefore it is probable he resii

association known
as the Florists' and Growers' As
tion. From what w can gather, this
association met at 13th and Market
streets, and had probably been in ex-
istence about three years. Tie Ameri-
Florisi in March, 1886, published

an extract from the Philadelphia

The lirst reference t can find to the
Florists' Club of Philadelphia is in
the records of the Pennsylvania Hoi

March 16th, 1886, Is the following ex-
tract:

Res lived, That i he n irists' Club of
Philadelphia (which club being organized
tor the reception and entertainment of
these visitors), h.-is the hearty endorsement
of tin- Penna. Horticultural Society, which
approves of the object of tin- said Club,

and respectfully asks its members t n-

trlbute towards defraying the necessary
expenses of the entertainment of the dele-
an.i therefore, making the reception
worthy of the Horticulturists of Philadel-
phia."

The above will plainly show that at
this time there was only a temporary
organization, for the purpose of taking
care of the members of the S. A. F.,
at their second convention. The meet-
ings of the Club wen- now being held
in the Library Room, Horticultural
Hall.

In the American Florist, under date
of November 15, 1886, Edwin Lonsdale
says: (speaking of the Florists' Club),
'It has now been made a permanent
organization, that is to say, it was
organized temporarily for the purpose
of aiding the Convention of the S A.
F., but it had such a good influence
on all concerned that there was noth-
ing left but for it to become perma-
nent. It is destined to be of service
both to the National Society and to
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Socie-
ty."

We know that the convention was
held, and that it was a great sui
One of the chief features of this con-
vention was the entertainment of the
visitors by Mr. George W. Childs at
his country place, "Wootton," Bryn
Mawr. on Friday, August 20th, at
which there were in attendance i
hundred persons. The photograph of
this event we have hanging here in
the club room, and in token of the
kindness of Mr. George W. Childs. the
Florists' Club presented him with a
large bronze vase filled with foliage
I— a photograph of which we also
have here in the club room. On the
:uus day the deli gates to 1 he con
vention were taken to Atlantic
(numbering about seven hundred and
occupying ten cars). They were en-
tertained at dinner at the 1'nited
States Hotel by the Florists' Club. Our
records show that there were 5L'9 per-

sons register! d as members of the S.
A. !•'.. at that convention. Robert
Craig tells us about this meeting,
which was the second of the S. A. !•'..
that the late Peter Henderson was
very skeptical as to the S. A. F. Con-
ventions being successes, as it would

tion week, the Colonade Hotel was
filled up, members having arrived all
day long from various parts of the
country, and those coming at night
had to see!-, other hotels. Mr. Hen-
derson then admitted that he was
wrong and that the success of the con-

Edwin Lonsdale

vention was assured. The convention
was a success in every respect, and
after entertaining the visitors in a
proper manner we find thai the Flor-
ists' Club had over $600 left on hand.
It was the fact of having this money
on hand that first started the idea of
forming a permanent organization.

In making a research to find out the
early history of the Club many inter-
esting things are naturally discovered.
It is impossible to give many of these
incidents in the time usually a'lotted
to the reading of a paper, therefore I
will only mention a few, which ap-
parently lead up to what appeals to
me to be the first essay decided upon

GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' CLUB
OF BOSTON.
The regular monthly meeting of th ■
Gardeners' ami Florists' Club of Bo
ton was held Tuesday night, Decem-
ber 19, in Horticultural Hall. The
most important business was the elec-
tion of officers for the ensuing year.
The balloting resulted in the election
of Thomas 1'egler, of Wollaston, presi

Ind.; a fine display of Zonal Pelargo-
niums, from W. N. Craig, among which
were I'n ul Crampel, an excellent red
much used abroad and coming more
into use in this country; snapdragons,
from II. Huebner, Groton, Mass.,
among them being a new pink winter-
flowering variety which is said to be
best from October to March, free-flow-
ering, and giving evidence of much
promise for the future; azaleas and be-
gonias, from W. W. Edgar Co., and a
hybrid Freesia. from G. Bleieken. of
Framingham.

AMERICAN GLADIOLUS SOCIETY.

A meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee of the American Gladiolus
Society was held in Xew York City on
December 6th, with the following
members present: Arthur Cowee, A.
T. Boddington, E. W. Fengar, I. S.
Hendrickson.

The matter of a die and medals was
taken up and discussed. It was
finally decided to purchase a die and
offer ten sets of medals the first year
to as many local Horticultural Socie-
ties. It was thought best to offer a
silver medal for first prize, and
bronze medal for second prize, the ten
sets of medals to cost $70.00.

The matter of registration bureau
was then taken up. and it was decided
to combine this committee with that
of the Nomenclature Committee
already established, with trial grounds
at Ithaca, Xew York, where all tests
can be made. Regarding certificates
of merit it was the sense of the meet-

Bartsch, of Waverley, Peter M. Miller,
of Boston, William J. Patterson, of
Wollaston, and William Sim, of Clif-
tondale, executive committee.

Fred E. Palmer gave a very inter-
esting and instructive talk on "Dyna-
mite and Its Uses in Garden and
Farm," being his own experience and
observations. He was enthusiastic
over its employment for time and
labor-saving, ease of use and its econ-
omy. Some interesting discussion fol-
lowed. A report of the outing to
Framingham was heard and it was the
universal opinion of those who attend-
ed that it was one of the most enjoy-
able trips -ever taken. It was recom-
mended that the club take in more
of these field days, as aside from the
social side, much business benefit
could be secured. Private men may
not see any direct benefit from visit-
ing commercial places, but they can
never know how soon points gleaned
from a commercial place may come
in handy. About eighty took the trip
to Framingham.

Among the exhibits were noted a

WESTERN DAHLIA AND GLADI-
OLUS ASSOCIATION.

The Western Dahlia and Gladiolus
Association held its fhst annual meet
ing, Friday, Dec. in, at the Hotel Shi r-
man, Chicago, and the bulb show at
66 Randolph street. The meeting was
called to order and adjourned to the
rooms with the exhibits, and the pro-
gram was carried out with the excep-
tion of two papers from members un-
able to be present.

Following the papers on the Gladio-

lus and its Future, by A. E. Kunderd,
and Hybridization and Culture by H.
W. Koerner, was a general discussion
enjoyed by all. Carl Cropp gave some
interesting points regarding late de-
velopment of the corms of gladiolus
and dahlia clumps showing that both
plants largely increased in size and
solidity late in the fall, but care must
be used in not leaving them too late
to be injured by severe frosts. He
also suggested there might be a profit-
able future for the Colvilli type of
gladiolus— Blushing Bride and others.

S. \V. Pike of St. Charles, 111., gave
it as his opinion that late develop-
ment of the bulbs was decidedly ad-
vantageous. The paper on American
Bulbs, read by E. S. Thompson, com-
pleted the program.

Business of the association was then
taken up. It was decided to appoint
a committee on nomenclature, so that
the work could be started at once.
M. Crawford was appointed as such
committee. The proposition to hold
an exhibition of flowers in connection
with the Society of American Florists,
was placed in the hands of the execu-
tive committee, to correspond and
have charge of the same if decided
upon. The annual meeting of the as-
sociation for the election of officer-
shall be held at the annual bulb show,
some time in December of each year,
date to be fixed by the executive com-
mittee.

This is a little earlier and a littli
ferenl from bi but from infor-

mal ion now in hand, it would seem
i lure is going to be a fine spread. We
already have word of some entries.
Another matter of interest, is in re-
gard to the name of the Double Im-
pro> ed \\ hjte Kilarney, whlcb was
Bled with the American Rose Society,
and which exhibit took prizes and
nitiiui at Boston, but owing to
confusion In name, and upon request
of various people this rose will here-
after be called "Double White Killar-
ney. Renter's Strain."

The list of guarantors is steadily
increasing. This morning's mail
brought three new names. The inter-
est which the members of the Ameri-
can Rose Society are evincing shows
i hat there is plenty of vitality among
the rose giowers. The show will be
in combination with the Carnation
Society, hacked up by all the Michigan
people. Robert J, Pyle, of Westches-
ter, will give on some evening, an il-
lustrated talk concerning his visit to
England last June.

HYBRIDIZING THE GLADIOLUS.
(A Paper bj II. \V. Koeruer.)

The principal points to be considered

ladiolus crossing are habit of stem,

number of Bowers opi n, tlowers set

close to the stem and well expanded

ami, must important of all. the color.

I iion'i like the Lemoim I j pe, al-
ii I think there is a time com-
ing when tiny will go ahead of any
i j in. I'm' i hi'\ multiply faster.
The reason 1 don't like them is be-
iii rally have crooked
d only two to tour flowers
in once. I can pick out any
variety that lias Lemoine blood by the
aforesaid two defects. I have learned
that tin best varieties generally mul-
tiply tin' slowest. Some of the best
kinds that I have been growing for ten
have nut yielded enough to of-
fer.

Dahlia pollination is more difficult.
To do the work right you must employ
a strong magnifying glass to see the
anthers which should be cut off and
tn select the ripe pollen. I always se-
lect free flowering and long stemmed
varieties to cross, and I never save
shy bloomers or short stemmed vari-
for there are too many of that
kind on the market already.

The best time of day for crossing is
between 12 and 2 o'clock P. M., on a
bright, sunny day.

Hybridizing is in its infancy and I
am sure that there will be entirely new
types and shapes never yet seen in
both dahlias and gladioli and in
peonies as well.

As to culture, there is not much to
say ; any soil that produces corn Or
potatoes will grow dahlias and gladioli,
but plant deep — at least four inches
below the surface. Gladioli should he
planted early and dahlias late.

Obituary.

Henry F. Lord.
On Saturday, December lti, Henry F.
Lord, treasurer of the Lord & Burn-
ham Co. of Irvington, N. Y., met with
a fatal accident. Mr. Lord was very
fond of machinery of all kinds and
took great pride in keeping his auto-
mobile in first-class running order
himself. Last Saturday afternoon he
remarked to a person whom he met
on his way to lunch that he was going
in enjoj himself that afternoon by be-
ginning to overhaul his automobile.
Soon after lunch he left the house, and
when he failed to return after dark
his family became anxious, and called
up several of his friends to find out if
lie was with them. Failing to locate
him they began to search and soon his
son, Arthur, discovered him pinned
under his automobile in the garage.
He summoned help, and the body was
soon extricated. The doctor who was
summoned said death must have been
instantaneous as the entire weight of
the automobile rested on his body.

Henry F. Lord

Mr. Lord had removed the wheels and
had the machine resting on blocks.
In loosening some of the parts he
must have moved it so that it tilted
the blocks, allowing the automobile to
fall.

The funeral was held at his resi-
dence at Irvington, Tuesday afternoon.
It was largely attended, and the floral
remembrances lined the room on all
sides.

The deceased was a son of Mr. Lord,
founder of the firm of Lord & Burn-
ham Co.. and ever since leaving college
has been associated with the company
in the manufacture and building of
greenhouses. He was born in Buffalo,
X. Y., March 31st. 1S55, and has re-
sided in Irvington forty-one years, the
family having moved there when
Henry was fifteen years old.

Mr. Lord was a man through and
through, always bright, cheerful and
kind. To know him was to like him,
and he was widely known and re-
spected in Irvington and all the ad-
joining towns. By his death the Lord
& Burnham Co. loses one of its most
trusted and faithful officers, and he
will be greatly missed by all members
of the company.

Mr. Lord leaves a widow, three sons
and one daughter.

LILIUM M A R F? I S I I

(The Bermuda Easter- L_ily<

l_EC~T~ US supply your- wants in Lilies this season
We think we can make It to your advantage to do so, as regards both quality and price.

The stock that we offer la not gathered Indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but Is grown for
us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In or-
der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea-
son, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground Is thoroughly manured when
the previous crop Is grown, leaving It In a high state of cultivation, and when the Illy bulbs are planted
no fresh manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs.

In addition to this, we do nut dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them In the
ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisil is good, it leaves little to be de-
sired. There Is very little, If any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are offering. We are
supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this la dlaposed of, we shall have no more to offer.

While the quality of the stock that we offer Is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or lower than,
the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. We are sure buyers
will find our stock very satlafactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longlflorum, which haa bad-
ly deteriorated in recent years.

Bear in mind that we were the original Introducers of Harrisil In Bermuda, and that we have excep-
tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer
are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 6-7 Inch, as usually offered.

6-7 Inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.00 per 1,000.

7-9 Inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lota, $75.00 per 1,000.

9-11 Inch >"-,Ks, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000.

FERNS

We have an exceptionally nice lot of ferns In the following varieties,— good, bushy, well-grown plants
that will please the most critical buyers. Plants have been grown In pots, and are thoroughly well estab-
lished and nicely finished.

Nephrolepls Bostoniensis and Plersonl, 6-ln. pots $0.60 each

Carnation Show.
An interesting and varied collection
of blooms was seen at the show of the
Perpetual Flowering Carnation So-
ciety, In London, on Dec. 5th and 6th.
The leading trade growers were well
represented. The gold medal for a
group of carnations was secured by
\v. ]■:. Wallace, of Baton Bray, Dun-
stable, Bedfordshire, whose Qne dis-
play included May Hay, White Perfec-
tion, Scarlet Clow, Daylight, Brit-
tania. Enchantress, Rose Pink En-
chantress, White Enchantress, Winsor,
Carola, Cloriosa. etc There was only
one competitor tor the Brunton cup
tor three vases of British novelties
distributed since 1909, ihis being B. E.
Bell, of Castel Nursery, Guernsey,
who exhibited Constance, Judith and
Coronation. The American Carnation
Society presented a challenge cup for
three vases of American novelties.
This was secured by Mr. Wallace with
Cloriosa, May Day and Scarlet Clow.
B. K. Bell was second and W. Wells &
Co., of Merstham, Surrey, third. Alto-
gether the show was considerably in
advance of those of previous seasons.

National Dahlia Society.
The annua! meeting of this idety
has recently been held in London. A
letter was read from Mr. Edward
Mawley, resigning his office as presi-
dent, owing to his health. This an-

nouncement was received with the
members' deep regret, warm-hearted
ti Ibutes being paid to his long and val-
ued services. The annual report
Stated that the society had held two
shows during the year, one at the
Crystal Palace, and the other at the
Royal Botanic Gardens, Regent's Park
The dry season had considerable in-
fluence on the early production of
bloom, and in consequence the ex-
hibits were not so numerous as in
previous seasons. A series of trials
was carried out by Messrs. Cannell &
Sons, of Swan'ey Point, Kent. The
trials brought into prominence the
best varieties for garden decoration,
and the report of the committee of In-
spection will be published in due
course. In order to assist the society
in its work members of the trade have
most generously decided to forego
their prizes in the nurserymen's
Classes tor the present year. By this
means the society has been able to
carry out its work, and now has a
■ the credit sid than

20 new members have joined during
the year, and the majority have taken
part in the exhibitions. The com-
mit on had offered a gold, a silver-gilt
and a silver medal for competition at
the International Horticultural Ex-
hibition next year. Ceorge Gordon,
editor of the "Gardeners' Magazine."
was appointed president, Joseph Cheal,

man of committee, J. Green. Dereham,

THE FIRST AMERICAN ORCHID

HYBRID.
Editor HORTICULTURE:

I notice in your December 16th issue
that Mr. Joseph Manda is credited
with being the raiser of the first orchid
hybrid In America. In the year 1882
I raised a number of hybrid calanthes.
One of these received a silver medal
from the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society in the year 1S90. If your date
is correct Joseph Manda would have
about eight years old, and living
in Bohemia. If he went to Pitcher &
Manda in iss* he would be about 14—
rather young to have served an ap-
[ceship
I do not lay claim to have raised the
iirst orchid hybrid in America, neither
do I I Manda wants anything

not entltli d to. It might be
well for you. Mr. Editor, to try and
find out who the raiser of the first
orchid hybrid in America was.
ery truly,
RICHARD CARDNER.

P. S— What about George Savage,
or William and R. M. Grey?

The foregoing communication is of

more than passing Interest, and we

should be pleased to hear from any

tders who has knowledge

Seed Trade

Tlie following letter, of which a copy
has been kindly furnished us. is self-
explanatory:
Geo. W. Kerr, Esq., Doylestown. Pa.,

U. S. A.

Dear Sir: 1 read with much pleas-
ure and interest your letter to the
editor of Horticultural Trade Journal
in the issue of the 6th re. sweet pea
seed. It has been my contention ever
since I had anything to do with the
growing of this beautiful flower that
California could not help producing
absolutely the finest seed in the world.
and for the two reasons mentioned in
your letter, viz.: climatic conditions
are perfect and the soil has no equal.

I am of the opinion that the sooner
this clap-trap about English-grown
seed was exposed, the better it would
be for both buyer and seller. Our
climate here in five seasons out of ten
is totally against the developing and
maturing of seeds.

I hope your letter will be the means
of clearing away that mist which has
hung around the "heads and opinions"
of the greater number of our seeds-
men. We are a great nation, but at
any rate let us get rid of that "swelled-
headedness" which is a curse to our
larger development. We are not "the
only pea in the pod," and the sooner
we realize this the better it will be
for us

Yours faithfully,

ANDREW REID.

Edinburgh, Scotland, Dec. 12, 1911.

Horticultural Commissioner B. V.
Sharp of King's County, Calif., has is-
sued a notice warning California mer-
chants not to handle alfalfa seed from
Utah or adjacent states and advising
that they demand California seed
only. This, it is understood, is on ac-
count of the prevalence of the alfalfa
weevil in Utah.

A VALUABLE CLIMBING ROSE.

Prof. C. S. Sargent is practically a
hardy yellow Climbing Tea rose. It is
a strong and lusty grower, bronze-
green foliage larger than the Ramblers.

The new growths are blood-red and
very decorative.

We have a specimen planted six
years ago, having a spread of twenty-
iiul ten feel in height. All
the growth is made on the bush from
the main stalk which is now two In-
ches in diameter near the ground.

The color is very persistent, being
a strong orange yellow, lasting until

^ .

i

m

V*¥ ; 1

the petals fall. The flowers are very
Cull, being crowded with petals.

It blooms about June 15th, which is
two weeks earlier than the true
Ramblers, thus making the season
that much longer. It is an American
seedling — a cross between the hardy
Wichuraiana x Souv. de Aug. Metral,
a red French Tea rose.

MEDICINAL LEAVES AND HERBS.

The Department of Agriculture has
just issued a bulletin on leaves and
herbs used as medicine. Nor is this
the first publication put out by this
department on the subject of me.li-
cines — the others being Weeds Used as
Medicine, Root Drugs and Medicinal
Barks.

Collectors of medicinal plants have
made such insistent demands on the
department for a guide in their work
that a description of 8b' medicinal
plants, including only such as are in
most common use, has been prepared
by direction of the secretary, fifteen
of these being mentioned in the Eighth
Decennial Revision of the U. S. Phar-
macopoeia.

Each plant is listed under the name
in most common use, but synonymous
common names, and the pharmaco-
poeial name, if any, are also given,
that no one should have difficulty in
recognizing the plants familiar to him,
or in identifying an unknown one. if
of the series, from the description
given.

Flower Market Reports

Up to time of goiii.n to
BOSTON press (Thursday, 21st),
the local market is in a
state of quietude seldom equalled al
this season of the year. Those whole-
salers who have a shipping trade from
distant points are, however, very busy
and are using up a big lot of material
which, if left to the mercies of the
local demand, would be a menace to
the market for (he rest of the week.
Green goods of all kinds are in un-
precedented call, the quantity of box-
wood, holly, laurel, etc.. beiiin handled
far exceeding any past experience
The quality of some of the stock com-
ing in al present momenl is, to say
the least, questionable and in carna-
tions particularly there is evidence of
their having been held up Cor some
time in anticipation of higher pines
Roses are in better condition than the
carnations, but they, too. have in some
instances that tired look which fore-
bodes trouble with the buyer. Violets
are again a problem and nobody ran
predict where they will land between
now and Christmas morning. The
growers will be lucky if there should
be no slump. The double violets are
not popular in the New England sec-
tion. The singles are each year more
and more in favor with the buying
public. Poinsettias are very fine this
year and the price of $4.00 and $5.00
a dozen is really low for the quality
of the goods. Lilies are very slow this
week as are also all bulbous flowers.
All in all, however, the promise is
good for the latter part of the week
and we hope the results will bear out
this favorable outlook.

Only a few days and
BUFFALO then i he battle is on,
but everything is in
readiness for the final rush if there is
to be one. Holly and decorative ma-
te i ials have moved well, but there has
been no rush in disposing of cut flow-
ers. To the six days of warm rain
must be laid the blame. There was
a good supply of everything; in fact,
in some lines, — paper whites, chrysan-
themums and violets, — an over-supply.
There were plenty of carnations. Beau-
ties and other roses, lilies, lily of the
valley, peas, mignonette, stevia, and
an abundance of greens, but Hie mar
ket wanted one thing, and that was
a demand for the goods.

A shortening up of
CHICAGO stock, particularly in
color, was noticeable
early in the last week before Christ-
mas, which opened clear and cold and
was ideal for Christmas shopping.
Considerable difference of opinion still
prevails, among both wholesalers
and retailers, regarding the outlook
for a lively Christmas trade, the de-
pressing effect of two weeks of cloudy,
damp weather being bound to bring
unwelcome results in quality and
quantity of stock. Plants, as usual,
have a conspicuous part in the holiday
sales, the usual kinds being in every
window. Poinsettias never were better
and pans of various sizes, trimmed
with scarlet crepe papei and ribbon,
are an attractive Eeature of all the re-
tail dower stoics; Azaleas, cyclamen,
erica, begonia and the berried plants
are all fully up to former years and
never have there been more tasteful
hampers to hold them. Hollv and
other ilex are unusually full of large

Flower Market Reports

(Continued from

ping trade already have orders enough
on their books to consume most or all
of their BtOCh and in some ins;
where special varieties are wanted or-
ders have been declined. Those who
are holding buck their stock, however,
in hope of exorbitant prices the last of
the week, bid fair to be disappointed
as they have been in the past.

With the retailers, also, the hooks
are showing long lists .it advance or-
ders, and the usual lull before the
storm, now on, is giving opportunities
to make up hampers, \ reaths and pot
rovers and put the store in readiness
for the rush at the end of the week.
A few pessimistic ones are looking for
trouble and will probably find it. but
for the most part the trade in general
is optimist ie in its outlook now a week

before Christmas. Greatly to the re-
lief of all the weather is cooler and a
light snow has fallen, but there is very
little sunshine.

The market at the
CINCINNATI opening of this week

was the usual one
of the week preceding a holiday im-
portant to the trade. Tin supply of
things generally is meagre and scarce-
ly sufficient is on hand for require-
ments. Most, of the wholesalers assert

that their entire supply for the holi-
days is about ordered up. The weather
has undergone a wonderful change.
Two weeks of dark rainy wea
gave way on Monday of this week to
cool, clear, bright days with plenty of
sunshine. The business in special sup-
plies has been extremely good; the
business in boxwood, too. was all that
could be desired. Hoses and carna-
tions will naturally he the leading
flowers for the holidays with poinset-
tias coming in for their share. The
supply of the first two promises to be
the normal Christmas cut, at least, if
it is not better. The last-named has
never been better, and many large
orders for same for Christmas and
New Year's have been placed. In
roses the choice ones are selling verj
much more quickly than short stock.
Bulbous stock is plentiful — in fact, last
week and the early part of this one
more narcissus were offered at times
the market could readilj ihsorb.
The same is true of Roman hyacinths,
in this category of slow-moving stock
chrysanthemums might also be added.
The supply of violets, especially dou-
bles, and lily of the valley will be
large and the market for them will
undoubtedly be good. Orchids are
more or less scarce and at times it is
almost difficult to have orders filled.

Other lines show that stevia is prov-
ing quite a factor. The supply of lilies
is not over-large and the request for
them is not very active. The green
goods market in all lines is ample.

The market is in a

NEW YORK waiting mood this
week. Last week was
a very unprofitable one for everybody
and large quantities of stock had to be
sacrificed. Tin1 weeh rlosed most un-
satisfactory. The present week open-
ed with more seasonable weather and
a very light supply on many impor-
tant lines, but there was no vigor or
other evidence of healthy conditions
in the demand and the low values of
the preceding week were still in
force. The end of the week will, no
doubt, see some lively hustling but.
from the scarcity of some things at
time of writing these notes, notably
red carnations, we expect to see con-
fusion and disappointment for many
thoughtless operators at the wind-up.
Bulbous stock is being rushed in in
unwieldy quantity, much of it being
lost. Tulips of the familiar December
type are seen on the wholesaler's
tables — forced at an impossible date
and indicating a wanton destruction of
bulbs that, if given time to develop,
would have given salable blooms. Vio-
lets are not moving as in other years.
Poinsettias are unprecedently good,
both as plants and as cut blooms.
Vet > tew flowers are shown in the
florists' windows, cybotiums, poinset-
tias and a selection of berries and
plants, with green wreaths, forming
the display, mainly. All the green
material dealers report a tremendous
demand for their goods.

PHILADELPHIA of last week bus-
iness was fairly
good, lmt there was a great falling off
later. It would seem as if the retail-

ers had been so busy getting ready
their baskets and other plant com-
binations for the Christmas trade that
had no time to push cut flowers.
And the weather was bad also. At
this writing prospects are fairly good.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

William F. Gude last week ap-
peared before the Senate Committee
on Post Offices and Post Roads tnd
presented the bill drawn up in the In-
terests of the Society of the American
Florists and Ornamental Horticul-
turists on the matter of the ina-igura-
tion of a federal parcels post.

Although the installation of new
fixtures has not been completed,
J. A. Philipps has taken possession of
his new store on Fourteenth street, at
the corner of Harvard street, N. W.
This store Is far superior in every way
to the old location at 2926 Fourteenth
street. The display windows run
around two sides of the store and are
admirably located so that his stock
can be shown up in fine shape. Until
the first of the year Mr. Philipps will
use the ice-box, counters, etc., taken
from the old store, but after that
time they will be replaced by others
entirely new and more in keeping with
the handsome store he now occupies.
J. H. Small & Sons last Monday
opened their new store in the vVood-
ward Building, Fifteenth and H
streets, X. \\\, to the public. This new
store, without a doubt, is the hand-
somest in the city, is in a building but
just completed and is well fitted for the
handling of the firm's business. It is
laid out in the shape of an "L" and
display windows are on Lhre-3 sides.
The fixtures are all of mahogany, the
tables marble-topped. On either side
of the offire in the center of the side
facing H street are the large tiled ice-
rooms. Rustic arm chairs and marble
garden settees are located here and
there about the store for the comfort
of patrons. The floor is of cement.
In an ell off the main store are the
private offices of the firm. A stairway
leads to the basement beneath the
store, entrance to which is obtained
from the ell. Here large ice boxes
have been installed and there is ample
space for the work rooms and for
the storage of boxes and material.
Th«re are five large windows and one
entrance on the H street side and a
large window and entrance on the
Fifteenth street side. Twelve electric
lights suspended by large oxidized
chains from the ceiling, and other sta-
tionary fixtures on pillars light up the
main store while the ell is lighted by
clusters of electric lights.

Visitors— J. W. Grandy, Xorfolk,
Va.; Mr. Newton, of the Xewton Floral
Company. Xorfolk, Va.; Mr. Hill, Rich-
mond, Ind.; Elmer D. Smith. Adrian,
Mich.; Richard Vincent. White Marsh,

PHILADELPHIA NOTES.

John Burton is about again, after a
three week's tie-up with a sprained
ankle.

A serious fire occurred at the Yates
greenhouses, Mt. Airy, on the morn-
ing of the 17th Inst., resulting in the
destruction of three houses and con-
tents. The latter consisted mainly of
bedding stock, Easter lilies and rhodo-
dendrons. The fire originated in the
boiler shed.

M. Rice & Co. had the busiest week
of the season last week with orders
received from all parts of the country
by telegram and otherwise. Orders
were invariably shipped same day as
received. Visitors were so numerous

BOSTON NOTES.

Penn Bros, have added a temporary
store next door for the sale of holiday
stock.

A very interesting display of photo-
graphs of Western China will be on
view all next week, including Sunday,
at Horticultural Hall. These views,
400 In number, were taken by E. H.
Wilson who had charge of the ex-
ploring expedition of the Arnold
Arboretum. The exhibition is free to
the public.

The window displays, always good at
this time of the year, are better than
ever this season. Holly trees in tubs
seem more in evidence this year, and
excellent specimens are being received
at the markets. The poinsettia, of
course, holds a prominent place.
Tasteful and attractive windows are
the rule all along the line.

Flower Market Reports

Continued from pngt Q/J)

Great preparations have been D
all along the line plants, Bowers and
greens of all kinds in Immense bud-
ply, No scarcities anywhere reported
OD any thin;;. Holly not extra good
this year. Many dealers are seriously
thinking of giving up handling this
item. The kicks have been so numer-
ous the past few years from clrcum
stances entirely beyond the dealers'
control that Ill-feeling as well a
or profits has resulted. Cut boxwood
has been handled hero in immense
quantities. This Item is getl
ami more popular every year tor
wreath-making, etc. This year thi
quality is the best thai ever has been
s.on here — fine, deep green, glossy
and not too much stem. The south-
ern holly (ilex vomitoria) was on
market in limited quantity. It
small, shiny, claret-red berries, and
small leaves, % to i Inch long, and is
quite an attractive Item at this sea-

There was a pretty good
ST. LOUIS demand for stock in
this market last week;
that is, of the higher grades, with
prices a little stiff. As to Christmas
prices the commission men say that
it all depends on the weather, and
that the supply would regulate the
price. California violets came in in
large lots and sell cheap. Carnations
are holding up well. Roses ran a lit-
tle higher, but there were enough for
the demand in all varieties, with the
exception of Beauties. Roman hya-
cinths and paper whites are a glut.
Other staples normal. Wild smilix
has had a big call for decorating shop
windows and all other greens have
sold well. Prospects good for a great
business for Christmas. Many ad-
vance orders have been placed.

Due to the hot
Washington weather the roses
that came in last
week wore very much developed and
sold cheap. Early this week It be-
1 cooler and the conditions of the
market have changed somewhat, the
shortened up some as to quantity,
but there was not a corresponding In-
crease in price until Tuesday. There
are plenty of cattleyas on the market —
In fact, the supply is more than equal
to the demand. Dendrobium formosum
has also been very plentiful, the sup-
ply exceeding the demand. Cyprl-
pediums went pretty well. Rhlnebeck
violets seem to hang fire, and consider-

Campanula persicifolia grandiflora

Karl Foerster in bis new book on "Modern Hardy
Herbaceous Flowering Plants" (published in German)
classes the peach-leaved campanulas among the "floral
nobility" of the garden, in rank close to Lilium candi-
• 1 1 ] iii. Campanula persicifolia and its various improved
forms nave been introduced to American gardeners and
landscape architects and offered on the lists of Leading
linns for a years, but whether there has ever

n any concerted or even one notable effort made to
bring out and use tin- most beautiful type "l' bellflow-
ers in its full effed maj In- -till doubted. Two years
ago the members of 'I ' ■ <•< rman Society of Garden Ar-
tists and Landscape Archite* te went on a tour of inspec-
tion of parks and garden- n tiival l'.rilain. Tin i r iv
port was full of interesting criticism, but all appeared
most favorably impressed bj the skillful and artistic
work in English gardens and 1 noticed special stress
was laid on the beautiful displays of peach-leaved cam-
panulas they had seen. What has the best type of
American gardens of the present day to show of such
displays? 1 am afraid very little indeed. Beds or
good-sized plantations of Campanula persicifolia at
flowering time offer such magnificent subjects for the
camera thai reproductions of photos would have ap-
peared a- star illustrations in every volume of our hor-
ticultural periodicals bj the dozen.

That the peach-leaved campanulas are extremely pop-
ular among flower loving and— be it understood — flower-
buying society, is clearly evident in our northern sum-
mer resorts. The keeping qualities are excellent; stems
of well-grown stock are 2 to 3 feet high, abundantly set
with- buds and the flowers if bandied with reasonable
eare will stand shipping to considerable distances. It
seems likely thai somi Eew out of the pathfinder-

class of American limits will begin to grow this beau-
tiful garden flower systematically and make a profitable
side issue for late Bpring -ales out of it. The herd in-
stinct will bring followers. Then the large and at-
tractively-shaped single and semi-double bells will be-
come a permanent and familiar sight in the miscel-
laneous section on the May and early June counters of
commission man and retailer. Advanced that far, the
private and landscape gardeners are bound to see their
chances at last.

To grow Campanula persicifolia exclusively for the
cut flower trade means, according to my observation, to
mat the plants as biennials — that is, to sow the seed
n spring during February and March under glass;
transplant seedlings into flats as soon as they can be
handled and in May plant in richly manured garden
soil out of doors in permanent position where they are
intended to be flowered the following season. Well-
grown two-year-old stock, especially if left undisturbed,
will produce flowers as freely as shown in our illus-
tration. The grandiflora single varieties appearing in
pure while and several clear blue shades should in my
opinion receive consideration first. Both the white and
blue are nearly equally in demand.

As for the sale of plants conditions are different.
Seedlings, no matter how good the strain may be, can
not be absolutely relied on to come true to variety and
color. To meet the ever-present call for single and

semi-double and double varieties in district colors plants
must be treated as perennials. Propagation in this case
has to be done by divisions or cuttings after flowering.
Campanula persicifolia requires a good leaf-covering
throughout the north and a light protection of evergreen
boughs or clean straw in the middle states.

Rev. G S. Harrison in Summer
Land

r I [OHTICDM i BJ :
I find myself in this land of dreams and of eternal
summer. It is so different from our northland. Last

I (ailed on a large nursery and they were shipping
stock. Every day in the year, except Sundays, is deliv-
ery day — no packing houses or burying stock. What
impresses one most is the rapid rise of land. I think
they must fertilize it with yeast. You are almost afraid
to go on some pieces through fear it may rise while you
are on it! Ten acres soon becomes twenty, and then
forty, and then one hundred and sixty. Men look me
squarely in the eye and say "we get better returns from
ten acres than you can from your one hundred and sixty
in Nebraska." Now we consider eastern Nebraska as the

i spot of the west and I feel so ashamed I can
hardly look up.

My son. a few months ago bought a lemon orchard —
10 acres for $10,000. He went home, turned around a
few times, and when he got back they told him it had
doubled in value. He took me out to see it. It i- a
fine piece; but I am lame and did not venture on it. I
didn't know but it would take a rise with me on it and
didn't know how I could climb off. Harry, however,
walked over it, and got off before it had time to rise. He
examined the trees and found every one alive and doing

well.

In the neighborhood of Whittier are immense or-
chards of English walnuts. They were looking fine and
were bearing well. But I saw they were cutting them
down by the thousand. "How is this?" I asked. They
were returning $100 per acre a year, with a prospect of
twice that when they got their full growth. The reply
was "we can't stand any such little measly return as
that, so we are planting lemons which will give a yearly
income of $500 to $1,000 per acre per year," and so it
goes.

You needn't wonder if I get a little dizzy looking on.

But this is great. 1 left a Nebraska blizzard last month

and came to this summer land and it is delightful.

a man gets to be near 80 he cannot stand the cold.

ago in Minnesota I traveled when the mercury

was frozen solid, and now zero weather is too much. I

expect to stay at this hotel, "The Occidental," all winter.

Living is very cheap. You can get good meals for 15

to 25 cents and rooms are reasonable.

Yours,

Los Angeles, Cal.

Seasonable Notes on Culture of Florists' Stock

ASPARAGUS

The florist who has to grow a good deal of green to
meet the demand of a retail trade should ohtain some
fresh seed of Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri as soon
as it can be obtained and sow it. They are both slow in
starting and require all the time from now on to grow
into good serviceable stock. Sow the seed in flats or
pans in a compost of loam three parts, leaf mold two
parts and enough sand to make it porous. Cover the
seed about an eighth of an inch deep. They will germi-
nate freely if stood in a temperature of 65 or 70 degrees
at night and kept covered with some glass, and also
shaded until they start to come up. When they show
up well stand them near the glass and keep them moist
and in the same temperature that they were started in.
They can be potted up into 2-inch pots when they are
about two or three inches high using a mixture of fresh
loam three parts, cow manure one part and a little
sand. When they have filled these pots with roots shift
into 3-inch and again into 4-inch pots which will serve
until they are planted out into their permanent beds

BEDDING BEGONIAS

Where you grow a variety of bedding begonias sow
the seed now and grow on, which will mean nice bushy
plants in four-inch pots by May. The soil in which you
sow the seed should be sifted fine. A good compost to
use is fresh loam two parts, leaf-mold two parts and a
liberal allowance of sharp sand. Press the compost
moderately firm, make the top smooth and on this scat-
ter the seed, but not too thickly as the seedlings usually
damp off if too close together. Cover very lightly and
press again. Shade and cover with a pane of glass un-
til the young plants come up strong. Place these pans
in a temperature of from 60 to 65 degrees at night
where they will get a little bottom heat. See that they
are kept in a moist state and give them a place near the
glass. After they have made sufficient growth they
should be pricked out in the same compost in pans or
flats and given a slight shade from the midday sun.
As they grow and have made leaves an inch or two long
they can be moved into 2i/2-inch pots, giving them a
richer compost. These are good bedding begonias:
Begonias Semperflorens Atropurpurea, Semperflorens
Coccinea, Semperflorens Zulu King and Erfordii.

CARE OF GERANIUMS

Now when the Christmas trade has caused a percepti-
ble clearing of benches it is well to remind the grower
of geraniums. All these that have been potted, but for
the want of room are in crowded quarters, should now
be given more room between the plants, for there is
nothing more detrimental to the perfect development of
all bedding plants than crowding. Don't neglect your
cuttings which for want of room are still in the sand.
Use a good fresh loam three parts, well-rotted manure
one part and give them either 2y2 or 3-inch pots; all
those that were potted up early can by this time have a
shift so as to keep them moving along. Give geranium?
a good sunny bench in a house where the temperature
runs anywhere from 55 to 58 degrees at night, and give
ventilation whenever possible to keep them stocky and

healthy. If short of stock you can propagate right
along until the end of January and have fine bedding
stock. Prom now on do not allow your plants to stand
still for the want of care. It pays to pot and shift as
they may require it. Por the best up-to-date varieties
consult Horticulture's advertisers.

HAVE YOUR PROPAGATING BENCH READY

Now when the most propitious season is rapidly draw-
ing near for the increase of all kinds of stock make a
good beginning in advance and have everything in good
working order. All the benches should be examined as
to their soundness and repaired where necessary. Al-
ways make it a point to give your cutting benches a thor-
ough cleaning by washing down the sides and bottoms
with a strong force of water and then give the entire
surface of the benches a whitewashing of hot lime which
will help to keep down the cutting bench fungus.
See that your heating system under the benches is in a
reliable condition to furnish the proper amount of bot-
tom heat. A safe rule to observe with all cuttings is to
have a steady temperature in the propagating sand of
about 10 degrees higher, according to the variety of
stock propagated, than that in which the plants were
growing. Place an inch or more of gravel or any other
coarse but clean material in the bottom for drainage.
On this put three or four inches of clean, sharp sand,
spread nice and even, which should be packed down
firm and smooth, after which the bed should have a
good watering which will soak it through.

HYDRANGEAS FOR EASTER

Hydrangeas intended for Easter should be transferred
now into a cool house with a temperature of about 45
degrees at night and by the loth of January they
should have a gradual rise to 50 degrees during the
night with about 10 or 15 degrees of an increase with
sunshine. Water freely at the roots to keep them in a
moist condition. When the weather is good give them
a spraying overhead two or three times a da v to encour-
age an even break of growth. As they begin to start
well into growth they should be allowed a bench where
they will get all the light and sunshine possible. The
temperature can be gradually increased until by the end
of February the highest degree in heat should be reached,
which can be anywhere from 65 to 70 degrees at night.
This temperature should be held until the trusses begin
to show color when they should be given a gradual re-
duction of temperature.

ROOTS STORED UNDER BENCHES

Don't fail to examine all roots and tubers stored away
under the benches. They should be gone over about
every three weeks to see what condition they are in.
See-that they are not kept too wet in some places while
in other parts they are liable to suffer from dryness.
The proper way to keep them is to have them covered
with sufficient soil or sand just moist enough to keep
them in a plump state. When they are kept either too
wet or dry they lose a lot of their vitality and even if
they should grow the growth will be weak in comparison
with those that have been carefully looked after.

Fruits and Vegetables Under Glass

TOP DBESS STRAWBERRIES

Strawberries started the first of the month will have
commenced growth and the roots will be seeking nour-
ishment. Turn a plant or two out of their pots to as-
certain if the roots are working, then proceed to give
them a top dressing of good rich soil or add a small
percentage of lasting manure to it. Remove as much of
the surface soil as you can before adding the new and
when so doing leave enough room for the water. This
top dressing plays an important part with early straw-
berries, as no more feeding is advisable until the fruit
has set, when they will take all you can give them. To
feed from now on would grow a quantity of soft foli-
age ; a large percentage would be liable to go blind and
when the plants should feel the effects of strong
"drink" and put more energy into all their functions
they are already immune to it and you do not get the
desired effect. Raise the temperature of the house to
50 to 55 degrees at night. Watch that the hose does
not miss the underneath side of the foliage or red spider
will soon present itself. Great care should be exercised
in ventilating as strawberries are very susceptible to
mildew.

PEACH BUDS DROPPING

To make the statement that when a peach or nec-
tarine tree is dormant is a very critical time with it
seems to be outrageous, but the fact remains that with
a little neglect now — a tree thoroughly dried out, a
dry Warm atmosphere or a fluctuating temperature —
down comes the whole lot of flower buds; you cannot
glue them on again; a season's work is lost. This bud-
dropping is not known outside because the trees never
become dry at the root during this season, nor does
the atmosphere. Late root pruning will often cause
buds to drop if coupled with any dryness. Look to the
borders periodically and do not let them get dry. Pot
trees placed in any cool house to avoid frost on the
pots, will need a more rigid attention as they dry out
more quickly. Syringe the trees over on fine mornings
two or three times a week which will keep the buds
plump. Dropping often commences immediately the
house is started. There is no cure but lots of simple
preventives.

HISTORY OF THE VINE

The vine shares with the fig the distinction of being
one of the oldest cultivated fruits in existence. The
Holy Bible makes reference to them in more than one
place and the works of ancient writers disclose the fact
that the vine has always been cultivated wherever civil-
ization has brought man to his rightful sphere in the
world and the climate allowed it to grow. Even where
climatic conditions were averse, artificial means have
been brought into use and we find the vine one of the
first subjects to be grown successfully under glass. The
grape vine, Vitis vinifera, was found growing wild in
western Asia, northern Africa and southern Europe

and from this the numerous varieties we have in culti-
vation today have descended — some the results of
nature's work as they grew in their wild state, others
the direct result of man's forethought and hybridising,
the greater part of which has been done under glass.
Varieties suitable for cultivation in the vineyard and
field have also come under these guidiDg influences to
be greatly improved. It is those especially adapted
for growing under glass that we are interested in at this
time. New introductions are sent out yearly, each
claiming some improvement, but there are a few real
old ones which have held a reputation for years and
cannot be replaced by the novelties. A most notable
example of this is Black Hamburgh, which needs no
introduction to readers of Horticulture — undoubtedly
one of the first grapes to be imported into this country.
Could many well-known varieties trace their ancestry
back far enough I think they would eventually find a
stray line of Black Hamburgh work in somewhere. The
majority of grapes grown under glass owe their origin
to the skill of the gardener. The grape vine has al-
ways enjoyed a long life and with care will last a life-
time.

TOMATOES

Tomatoes planted for the fall and winter supply will
soon finish and to keep up a supply a sowing should be
made now. It does not pay to keep old plants which are
about worn out, for the sake of a few fruits which may
still be hanging. The seedlings can be grown on into
six-inch pots before planting them on the benches and
then only half the old crop can be done away with and
replenished with young plants. As soon as these young-
er ones commence fruiting plant up the other section.
Numerous varieties are grown good under glass and can
be classed as those bearing large fruits and others hav-
ing rather small but very solid fruits. The latter are
often preferred on account of shipping well, and are
more economical when using small quantities. Stir-
ling Castle and Sunrise are notable examples of these.
Of the larger varieties Best of All and Comet are good.
Sow the seed in well drained pots or pans in a light
compost and place in a temperature of 65 degrees.

CUCUMBERS

Cucumbers that are wearing out can be replenished
in the same way as the foregoing. Make a sowing now
and plant up half the space allotted to them when ready,
[mproved Telegraph and Rochford's Market, two of
the older school, are still in the lead for productiveness.
Peerless and Matchless are finer fruits but do not
crops of the former two. Sow the seeds
o three-inch pots and give a temperature of
70 dejrrees.

eminent subject of our sketch had, a few days before,

lasting benefits which horticulture the world over enjoys

In the brief paper by A. E. Kunderd which
Fragrant appears in this issue mention is made of
Gladioli the possibility of yet evolving the long-
sought fragrant gladiolus. It certainly
would be a big boom for the gladiolus if the sweet odor
of the German iris or freesia. for instance, could he
added to its other charms. This leads us to inquire
whether any one knows anything of Gladiolus odorus.
In Eobert Mafnock's Horticultural Magazine, as long
ago as July, 1838. there appeared an article on this
species, a specimen of which had been sent from the
Botanic Garden. Hull. England, and which was accom-
panied by a colored illustration showing the flower to be
of the nanus type, white delicately tinted with lavender
and lemon. I- tin- species -till available or is it in
existence under some other botanical name? A really
fragrant parent would l>e a big step toward the realiza-
tion of Mr. Kunderd's ambition.

A favorite most useful members of the Campanula
for Centuries family and a practical article on this
subject from the pen of Bichard Bothe
appears in another column of this issue. Campanula
persicifolia has been a garden favorite for centuries.
Under the title of Bell-flowers John Parkinson in his
Paradi.si in Sole Paradisus Terrestris wrote nearly 300
years ago as follows:

Campanula Persicifolia alba vel coerulea, the Peach-
leafed Bell-flower white or blew hath many tufts, or
branches of leaves lying upon the ground, which are long
and narrow, somewhat like unto the leaf of an almond or
Peach tree, being finely nicked about the edges, and of
a sad greene colour, from among which rise up divers
stalkes, two foote high or more, set with leaves to the
middle and from thence upwards, with many flowers
standing on several small foot-stalkes, one above another,
with a small leafe at the foote of every one; the flowers
stand in small greene huskes, being small and round at
the bottome but wider open at the brimme, and ending in
five corners, with a three forked clapper in the middle,
set about with some small threds tipt with yellow, which
flowers in some plants are pure white, and in others of a
pale blue or watchet colour, having little or no sent at all;
the seede is small, and contained in round flat heads, or
seede vessels. The roote is very small, white and threddy,
creeping under the upper crust of the ground, so that often-
times the heat and drought of the Summer will goe near to
parch and wither it utterly. It requireth, therefore, to be
planted in some shadowie place.

All the Bell-flowers do grow in our Gardens, where they
are cherished for the beautie of their flowers.

The Peach-Bels as well as the others may safely be
used in gargles and lotions for the mouth, throate. or
other parts, as occasion serveth. The roots of many of
them, while they are young, are often eaten in sallets by
divers beyond the Seas.

AMERICAN BULBS.

A paper read before the Western Gladiolus
and Dahlia Society by E. s. Thompson

Perhaps this subject maj aol appeal
to man; of you as being of special
Importance, but to me it is of wide
significance. Always, as far as our his-
tory is concerned, we have looked to
Europe for bulbs that are sold. A few
of course in the homes of the people,
but as for growing on a scab' com
mensurate with the demand, home
raising was hardly thought of until
close on to the original World's Fair,
Chicago, 1903. But since that date it
has grown by leaps and bounds, until
today we are largely supplying our
own country, and also
exporting by the mil-
lion. In tuberose bulbs
we beat the world, on
the south Atlantic
coast; and from Long
Island, thanks to the
enterprise of John
Lewis Childs millions
of gladiolus bulbs are
exported to Europe and
other countries. The
greatest drawback
seems to be to grow
what is known as the
Dutch bulbs and lilies.
However, we are find-
ing that the Pacific
northwest in the vicin-
ity of Pnget Sound
is well adapted to
growing this class of
bulbs,- as also is the
Richmond district on
the Atlantic coast.
This United States has
climatic advantages ex-
celled by none, and
it needs only the push
of Yankee ingenuity
to develop other lines
fully as much. Tiger
lilies can be grown on
the East Lake Michi-
gan coast as cheaply
and as well as in Hol-
land. Of course we
have to contend with
the cheap labor of other
countries but we have
an offset in the saving
of freights and the loss
in carriage, that often-
times leaves a good
margin of profit of it-
self.

One of the greatest
difficulties we have to
encounter is the slogan
dear to the heart of
many, "Importer." As
though something im-
ported was vastly superior to anything
grown in the usual every day way at
home. One of the obstacles to
progress in any line of work is the de-
sire of some to be exclusively superior
to their fellow mortals, and it applies
to the bulb business as well as to a
host of other lines. But when men
who specialize in any one line join
together and work for mutual ad-
vancement, all are benefited.

Of late years our leading seedsmen
are sending all over the world for new
and rare things. Childs has done this
to a large extent, and although at times
over-colored regarding results, we are
greatly indebted to him for the mar-
velous advance in the gladiolus. Far-
quhar of Boston has been doing valu-

able work with lilies. With Bui
and Groft, as well as our own Kun-
derd and Koerner, rapid progress is
pushed on apace With the glorious
gladiolus. What we Deed now is co
operation among growers and a dispo-
sition to play fair with results, and by
ibis means gain for ourselves advan
tages that should accrue to the hy-
bridizer and giower. Our country can
produce almost anything in the bulb
line the world produces, and we sr<
truly only on the brink of the great
stream of success not only with the
gladiolus and dahlia, but with numer-
ous others of the world's favorites in
flowers produced from a bulbous c

crops ibis season, and said "America
must grow her own seeds." How about
our own bulbs? They are of equal im-
portance and deserve equal attention.
The field is broad and valuable, and
by no means occupied. Let us during
the coming year try out more of the
varieties sold by seedsmen in this
country, and come up here another
season with a show of bulbs that for
value will fairly take the trade off
their feet.

Pacific coast, the Fruit Belt of Mich-
igan, Long Island and the south At-
lantic coast, are producing today vast
quantities of bulbs that know no
superior, and other parts of our coun-
try are coming to the front in an
equally meritorious manner.

Brothers let us go at this matter
with a determination to get the best
out of it and nothing will stop the
progress. Our slogan should be "Grow
our own stuff," and we can, if we will.
I believe our catalogue men would
gladly patronize home growers did we
but produce as well and reasonable.

DYNAMITING LAND.

On Dec. 20th a most interesting
demonstration in dynamiting land was
carried out on the es-
- tate of Mr. Colgate
Hoyt, Centre Island,
Oyster Bay, L. I., be-
fore a delegation of
members of the Nas-
sau County Horticul-
tural Society The
demonstrators were
Joseph Robinson, su-
perintendent of the es-
tate and John T. In-
gram, florist, Oyster
May. What was ac-
complished clearly ex-
emplified the efficacy of
the action of dynamite
in improving certain
soil conditions and in
cheapening labor.

A section of ground
of a swampy nature,
having a rather good
top soil, but an under-
stratum of hard imper-
vious material, thereby
causing a sour un-
d rained condition was
dynamited to pioduce a
natural drainage

through the shattering
of this understratum.

Another demonstra-
tion was that of dyna-
miting places for tree
planting, so as to less-
en the manual labor
attached to the digging
of holes and to improve
the condition of the
soil. Also tree stumps
were dynamited, with
the result of a con-
siderable lessening of
manual labor in their
removal. The results
obtained throughout
were most satisfactory,
and clearly exemplified
that dynamite is a
potent factor in land
operations.
The demonstrators are enthusiastic
and energetic men and no doubt would
be only too glad to relate the results
of their labors in this field of work.

Obituary,

Victor Lemoine.
Victor Lemoine, horticulturist and
officer of the Legion of Honor of
France, died at Nancy on December 12,
1911, in his 89th year.

Victor Lemoine was born at Delme
<Lorraine), Oct. 21, 1823. His ances-
tors for generations back had been
gardeners. After his college studies at
Vic-sur-Seille he devoted several years
to traveling and then worked succes-
sively for Bauman at Bollweiller (Lor-
raine), and Louis Van Houttc of
Ghent (Belgium), also Miellez of Lille
(France), and in 1850
established himself,
with small means, as
a florist and landscape
gardener at Nancy
(Lorraine). There he
was a member of the
town council from
1871 to 1888. On
June 13, 1885, he was
made a knight and on
April 3, 1894, an officer
of the Legion of Honor
of France. Lemoine was
Hon. Vice-President of
the Central Horticul-
tural Society of Nancy,
Hon. Member of the
National Horticultural
Society of France, the
Royal Society of Agri-
culture and Botany of
Ghent, the Royal Hor-
ticultural Society of
Munich, etc., and was
also corresponding-
member of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural
Society, Boston. He
had the honor of being
the first foreigner to
be presented with the
Veitch Medal by the
Royal Horticultural So-
ciety of London, and it
is only a few weeks
since he was awarded
the George R. White
Medal of Honor by the
Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society.

In our issue of De-
cember 23 we en-
deavored to set forth,
although in a some-
what fragmentary manner the stu-
pendous achievements of Victor Le-
moine in the realm of horticulture.
There is no spot on this wide world
wherever plants and flowers are raised,
where we do not find representatives
of Lemoine's hybrids or introductions;
no florist or gardener, who has not, at
one time or another, handled Le-
moine's productions, ignorant though
he may have been of the name of his
benefactor. If Victor Lemoine's gar-
den children were to be all eliminated
from our nurserymen's stock and cat-
alogues it would leave an appalling
void and a large share of our garden
beauty would be gone. If Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine alone should be
taken from the florists' holiday plant
list, how sadly we should miss it!

So, although be had almost reached
four-score and ten years, his death will

be profoundly felt and regretted. For-
tunately the work of Victor Lemoine,
like that of the Darwins, is a famil\
work. Mr. Emile Lemoini' has co-
operated with his renowned father for
many years and the third generation
is already interested in it, and it is
safe to say that the name will still
for many years to come be intimate-
ly associated with the advancement
and elevation of horticulture.

Charles J. Schultz.
After a long and painful illness
Charles J. Schultz, father of Oscar J.
Schultz, the well-known florist of
Newport. H. I., died at his home in
that city on Dee. 23rd. "Charley"
Schultz, as he was familiarly called.

was a native of Sweden and came to
this country when a young man and
has been a resident of Newport for
nearly forty years. He was a carpen-
ter by trade and for several years pre-
vious to his illness was engaged with
his son Oscar about the greenhouses,
making himself so valuable to the
concern that he will be much missed.
He had a wide circle of acquaintances
who also very much regret his de-
parture.

Jonathan Periam.
Jonathan Periam, died at his home
6842 Perry street, Chicago, 111., on
Dec. 9, aged 88 years. He was a
frequent contributor to the agricul-
tural press. Mr. Periam was born in
New York in 1823 and went to Chica-
go in 1838. He held the position of
editor of the Prairie Parmer for 15
years, retiring 13 years ago.

Sir Joseph Hooker.

Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker died at
his residence at Sunningdale, England,
on Sunday, December 10. He was
born at Halesworth, Suffolk, on June
30, 1817, hence was in his !)5th year.
He was the second son of Sir William
Jackson Hooker, the distinguished
botanist and director of the Kew Gar-
dens, and in the last named succeeded
his father in 18G5. The Gardeners'
Chronicle" for December 16, devotes
over four pages to an account of the
life and labors of this distinguished
scientist. We can only quote a few
paragraphs:

•His death will he mourned throughout
the world "f science and In the larger
world, wherever there are men to rever-
ence a nohle life and to
honor splendid achleve-
tiniil For Hooker was
not only the greatest of
British botanists; he was
one of the great outstand-
ing men of his age. That
position he won by the
hardest yet surest or
ways, that of doing his
special work supremely
well.

"Though he lived far
beyond the allotted span
of human life. Hooker,
the man of science, never
grew old. As each new
generation of botanists
arose, It turned to Hooker
as Its acknowledged mas-
ter. The man who had
been alive and at work
in what seemed to the
younger men a remote
past was still alive and
at work in their midst.
The man who led the van
oi scientific progress in
the '50's of last century
remained, by right of
brain arid < xample. our
leader till his death.

"The advancing years
seemed almost to pass
him by, save that they
brought him the sacred
accompaniments of old
age — love, honor, and
obedience, troops of
friends, till at the age of
!H death surprised him
whilst he was yet at
work.

"Those of us who knew
Hooker in his hale, se-
rene old age might well
have imagined that his
life had been spent in
Sheltered retirement from
the vexations, troubles
and perils of the world.
Vet to few men, in what-
soever walk of life they
be, falls such an eventful
career as he chose for
himself.

"Unlike so many jour-
neys the labors of which
cease with the home-eom-
travels Involved years
toll after the won-
derful harvest of plants which
he collected had been garnered in.
The working out of his own collections was
in itself a herculean task, and beside the
plants which he had gathered with his
hinds. Hooker received countless speci-
mens from his correspondents in the four
quarters of the globe."

"Hooker's claims to immortal memory in
the annals of science rest by no means
solely on his contributions to systematic
botany. A great observer, the range of his
observations in the countries which he
visited included geological, geographical
and meteorological phenomena."

"Vet. remarkable as were Hooker's
achievements as a traveller, collector, and
• -I, server, they do not complete the tale
of his contributions to knowledge. To
many of us. at all events, Hooker's most
abiding title to lasting memory is his
epoch-making work on the geographical
distribution of plants, and the application
of that work to the elucidation of the
problems of evolution and the origin of

s| ics."

red flowers. A cercidiphyllum is

other beautiful subjects are displayed

that it will be many, many years be-
fore all the rare floral treasures of
that vast mountain country are
brought to light. The discoveries

only a beginning. Untold wealth is
still hidden In those untrodden fast-

THE GLADIOLUS AND ITS
TURE.

a Paper read before the Weatern Gladiolus
mil Dahlia Society by a. B. Konderd.
So much has been written and said
fm the gladiolus concerning its cul-
niie both out of doors and under glass
r. . i bulbs and cut Bowers that 1 will
nni attempt to g on

thai line, as you arc ail experts on
(hat subject. I will only mention C.
I, Allen's "Bulbs and Tuberous-rooted
Plants," and the excellent new book
on the gladiolus by that veteran au-
thority, Matthew Crawford, as two of
tie most reliable sources of informa-
tion regarding the same.

Although a lifelong breeder of the
gladiolus, it should
take a much better
tongue and pen than
mine to do this subject
the justice it so well
deserves. I have been
so busy admiring and
working with the glad-
iolus that I have never
thought much about its
present or future. How
well the gladiolus has
taken care of its good
reputation you are all
aware, and I feel cer-
tain it will do even bet-
ter in time to come.
Of course I am an en-
thusiast as a breeder
of this — one of the
most magnificent of all
t h e many beautiful
flowers — and as such
have a boundless con-
fidence in its still
greater future, both
commercially and artis-
tically. Commercially
its usefulness is only
just being recognized,
and its future in the
hands of the plant
breeder holds almost
boundless possibilities.
Only a few days ago
some of its friends
have reported new
beauties In foliage var-
iation, and I believe
much can be done to
develop this feature
alone. In addition to
the reported foliage
with white striping,
great improvements
may be expected with
the normal color. For
a number of years I have been select-
ing and breeding with this object In
view, and found the gladiolus as sus-
ceptible along this line as in the im-
provement of its flowers. Tall, wide,
rich green foliage, tall, slender and
graceful foliage, of forms best suited
to the usual straight-stemmed varie-
ties, and some beautiful slender and
drooping foliage, best suited to blend
with what is known as bent or
crooked-stemmed varieties. That there
is a future of usefulness for the last-
named form of stem, I feel confident
Other features of form and type will
suggest themselves to any experienced
observer, and I am confident the long-
wished-for sweet-scented varieties will
vet be perfected. Much has already
been done: more will be accomplished
by careful and patient workers in the
lopment of this Dower.

Xavier Schmidt, of Philadelphia, Pa.,.
hns been appointed assistant secretary and
W. E. Maynard, of New York City, organ-
izer, for the coming year.

The officers elected for 1912 are:— Presi-
dent, Thomas W. Logan, Jeukintown, Pa.;
vice-president, Martin B. Tlllotson, Great
Neck. N. Y.; secretary, Martin C. Ebel,
Madison. N. J.; treasurer, Roy H. Caver-
ly, Lowell, Mass.

Considerable outside interest is be-
ing manifested towards the National
Association since its last convention
which was held in Madison, N. J., in
October last. The organization itself
has become much interested in the con-
templated International Show to be
held in New York City in April, 1913,
and some of its members are prepar-
ing to have large exhibits. A promi- '
nent gardener, superintendent df one
of the largest private estates in the
east, has already declared himself to
Chairman Charles H. Totty, of the
National Flower Show Committee, as
expecting to bring more than a cat-
load from the estate over which he
presides, which is located in one of the
adjoining states to New York, to the
1913 exhibition. Some keen compe-
tition may also be looked for from the
National Association members at
next annual show of the American
Sweet Pea Society, to be held in Bos-
ton, in July, 1912, this society hav-
ing promised to provide liberally for
special gardeners' classes.

A great growth is looked for in the
National Association of Gardeners
during the year 1912. President Lo-
gan will call a meeting of the new
Board of Directors early in January
to meet in New York City, and some
important matters will be brought up
looking to the future development of
this organization, which promises
soon to become an important factor
In the field of horticulture in this
country.

MORRIS COUNTY GARDENERS'

AND FLORISTS' SOCIETY.
The annual election of officers of
the Morris County Gardeners' and
Florists' Society was held at the De-
cember meeting with the following
results: Robert Tyson, president; John
Dunn, vice-president; Wm. H. Duck-
ham, treasurer; Edw. Reagan, secre-
tary; Robt. M. Schultz, assistant sec-
retary. The same executive committee
rules' our destinies as last year, only

one reitring; president John Downing
takes the place of John Dunn, who is
vice-president elect. Charles H. Totty
gave us a much appreciated talk on
(lie novelties of 1912. It was an im-
partial discourse, he giving due credit
to novelties of merit wherever he could
find them.

As fine a lot of poinsettias as could
be seen was staged by Harold B. Vyse
of "Glimpsewood Manor." They were
grown in 5-inch pots, and averaged
over IS inches across. This is a
favorite with Mr. Vyse, and the way
it responds to his treatment makes
one marvel — leaves clean down to the
pot, and the color most intense.
Cultural certificate was awarded.

A. Herrington, as spokesman for the
members, congratulated the retiring
president on the success of his admin-
istration and the progress made under
him. A rising vote of thanks was
given to Mr. Downing. The officers-
elect accepted their responsibilities in
neat speeches, each promising to do
his best, and the whole society prom-
ising to stand behind them in their
efforts. In a preliminary report the
treasurer reported the society in re-
markably fine standing from a finan-
cial point of view. E.

their national organization is very
much alive and doing earnest and use-
ful work. The great show in Boston
last March and the meeting In con-
nection therewith form a good part of
the book. The treasurer's report shows
up encouragingly. The book comprises
about 100 pages and is embellished
with some fine engravings.

CHICAGO NOTES.

Christmas Plants.

Plants gained another step in the
race with cut flowers. Stores were so
filled with them and they were so at-
tractively dressed up with every em-
bellishment known to the supply
houses that it would have been a big
Christmas had the rut flowers been
left entirely out. From the little three-
inch pot plant to the large hampers —
reaching the limit probably in a giant
combination affair seen at Harry ('
Rowe's, with an immense azalea as a
crowning piece surrounded by as-
sorted plants in side pockets and
which brought well up toward the hun-
dred-dollar mark — all was artistic and
appealed more strongly than ever to
the Christmas shopper. Nothing new
was brought out in plants, but skill
in growing them just right and deliv-
ering them to the retailers at the right
moment played a big part in the gen-
eral success of the week. Azaleas
were queen of the day, with poinset-
tias a close rival. Ardisias, cyclamen,
begonias, heather, primula, obconica
and araucaria well trimmed with rib-
bon and bringing good prices as
Christmas trees, gave splendid variety
from which to choose. Fleischman
has one entire side of the store cov-
ered with steps reaching to the ceil-
ing filled with plants and at eight
o'clock Saturday evening the sign
"closed" was put upon the door to
keep out would-be buyers.

Trade Jottings.

Tony Einwich, who has charge of
the cut flower department of the E. H.
Hunt Co., is ill.

Michael Leider of South Evanston
is having five new vegetable houses.
30 x 270 feet, Foley construction.
Work begins this week.

Kennicott Bros. Co. will begin the
New Year by making its store a model
one. Every facility for handling con-
signments will be provided, and a new
office, fully equipped with the latest
devices, will be at the disposal of the
bookkeeping force.

The Foley Manufacturing Co. will
open a branch office in New York in
January, an announcement of which
will be made later. This company has
discontinued the manufacture of sash
and doors and will devote all their
time and space to greenhouse mate-
rial. This is probably the only firm
in Chicago doing so. Phil. Foley has
just returned from a trip to Richmond,
Ind., where he closed a contract with
E. G. Hill Co. for four new flat rafter
houses, 34 x 400 feet.

SOME CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

W. J. Thurston, manager of the Bos-
ton Flower Exchange was surprised by
his friends in the market on Saturday
morning, Dec. 23, with the gift of a
superb 23-jewelled Waltham watch
and chain, both of solid gold. The pre-
sentation speech was made by Presi-
dent W. C. Stickel, who is a past mas-
ter in oratory of this sort, amid much
enthusiasm and applause. On Mon-
day morning there was another excite-
ment when salesmen, buyers and all
got together again and presented to
assistant superintendent George Hamer
a purse of fifty dollars in gold.

At the Boston Co-operative Flower

Market there was a similarly pleasant
affair on Saturday morning when su-
perintendent Knight was made tl
cipienl of a fine gold Hamilton
and fob in recognition of Ion:
faithful service, the presents
speech In this Instance being made by
John MeFarland.

C. HARMAN PAYNE.

Horticulture's European Representa-
tive.
Herewith appears the portrait of a
gentleman well-known by name to the
readers of HORTICULTURE by rea-
son of his frequent communications in
our columns on horticultural doings
abroad, and widely known in Great

C. Habman Payne
Our Special Correspondent on the Job.

Britain and on the Continent of Eu-
rope as a literatteur and prolific jour-
nalistic writer on horticultural topics
and — first and foremost — as a passion-
ate lover of and literary exponent for
the chrysanthemum, a flower with
which his name is permanently linked.
Mr. Payne holds a unique position in
the horticultural world. He has served
in innumerable instances in positions
of responsibility in connection with
exhibitions in England, and also in
France where he is, we should say,
just as much at home as in his native
country, besides Belgium, Holland and
elsewhere. The fact that this versa-
tile gentleman has not yet put in an
appearance on American soil is the
only indictment we can bring against
him. We hope he will make the trip
in the not far distant future and we
are greatly mistaken if he does not
instantly iearn the language of the
country and the shibboleth of "the
boys." He is already a member of
several American societies.

MUSTARD AND CRESS.

Bj i lie Sage "f t lie Cinger Gar, Philadel-
phia.
"Send a flowergram— passage prepaid
to any part of the country—" is the
wax a clever retailer's card reads.
This may not be exactly clear to the
wayfarer but it is at least suggestive —
leads to inquiry and paves the way for
business.

Wanted, a job! George Craig has
been in the flower business, some for-
ty years, and has made a success of
it. The solicitous philosopher suggest-
el i hat it was time to retire. George
looked rather surprised but at the
same time interested. "Why so?" said
he. The S. P. snorted, and asked in that
aggrieved and peevish tone one uses
in replying to a superfluous question.
Why, you've got money enough!"
"Yes," admitted the veteran; "but
what else could I do? Here I've been
shedding radiance and fragrance
among my neighbors all my life. Why
should I quit? What more delightful
oi bi neficent thing could I do to justi-
fy my continued existence in this
world?" The S. P. gave that up but
feels sure there are thousands among
your readers of a pessimistic turn of
mind who can suggest a good job for
this man.

There is always a right way and a
wrong way to repeat a thing. The
In ad of the house had been inter-
viewed. The interviewer said at the
windup: "All right then, I'll go see
your partner about it, and see if he
has not got some fresh ideas he can
add to the subject." The head of the
house said: "Very well, but see that
they are not 'too fresh.' " And so with
a smile he went off to lunch. Now,
there is a coolness in the firm because
the interviewer did not put in the
smile to the junior but said that his
partner said he was not to be too
fresh. A joke is not a joke to some
people unless you start in smiling be-
fore you tell it to them— and like as
not they'll laugh at the wrong place,
or in some cases laugh even if its not
funny, just because they hate to ap-
pear stupid!

"Cats!" Abbreviations are con-
venient and among busy men inevita-
ble. The flower business is no excep-
tion. It has its " 'mums" and its
" evps" and its " 'maids," and many
others— mysterious things to the un-
initiated. Robert Crawford was wait-
ing in his usual Chesterfieldian man-
ner on one of the four hundred— a
lady— the other day. She wanted some
orchids. There was some little doubt
about it. Robert excused himself for
a minute and turned to the 'phone.
Getting the proper number, this was
what apparently was said— "Hello,
that you Charlie? Say, Charlie, got
any cats? No, they won't do, cats is
what I want. No, they have to be
cats, and good ones, too. What's the
matter with you, can't I make you
understand? What's that, you say 75c.
apiece?" At this point the lady who
had been per force listening could
stand it no longer and broke in —
"Why, Mr. Crawford, I've got a nice
pair of kitties I could let you have,

The statement in a recently printed

reeosi ized Christinas decorative flower, the
nil tctlve poinsettia, was introduced to
the east about 11 years ago by a pitts-
burg artist, who found it in California, is
refuted by George C. Wats, mi. the well-
known writer on horticulture, who says:
"No The honor belongs to a Philadel-

The above emphasizes how we, of
the present day, forget to credit our
wonder-workers of the past. We have
interviewed many poinsettia growers
in Philadelphia and uot a solitary one
was aware that it was a Philadelphian

Philadelphia, Pa.— The past year

in the history of Rice & Com-
pany, the increase in the volume of
business being so great that the pres-
ent extensive quarters have proven in-

house to not only maintain but even im-
prove upon the service for which it is
noted. To this end the firm has leased

Camac street, this building being
directly back of their present seven-

FEDERAL NURSERY INSPECTION
AND QUARANTINE.
A committee composed of W. P.
Stark, Louisiana, Mo., president of the
National Nurserymen's Association,
and Prof. S. J. Hunter of the Univers-
ity of Kansas, state entomologist, ap-
pointed by the Western Association of
Nurserymen are in Washington this
week, working for desired legislation.
The nurserymen desire a national sys-
tem of inspection and quarantine
against injurious scales and insects.
The committee, however, will oppose
the Simmons Bill for the purpose, now
before Congress. The objection to the
bill is that it does not carry sufficient
appropriation and gives absolute pow-
er over the nursery business to Dr. L.
O. Howard, entomologist of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who the
nurserymen say has been unfair to
them.

The Western Association favors the
creation of a commission of seven men
modeled after that of the state of Kan-
sas to enforce the inspection. The Kan-
sas plan has proven very efficient. On
this commission would be two nursery-
men selected by the national associa-
tion of nurserymen, two state ento-
mologists selected by the national as-
sociation of entomologists and two
members selected from the National
Pomological Society, these six to be
appointed by the President. The sev-
enth would be the chief entomologist
of the Department of Agriculture.
Doctor Howard.

Flower Market Reports

i larisl mas experii nee va-
BOSTON ried somewhat In this

market. To most qJ i ho le
interested il was a ureal and glorious
occasion when goods sold themselves
and buyers were hungry, far and near.
To those, however, whose principal
stock in trade was white carnations,
lily of the valley, longiflorum lilies.
paper white narcissi or Roman hya-
cinths the occasion was mil all one

sweet song and when it happened
that the owner of such goods had with-
held them from market until Saturday
morning the music must have been in-
deed mournful. Hut. the growers of

white goods will have their innings in
due time and no doubi things «ill even
up fairly in the long run. The white
goods above named dragged badly ami
in addition thee was a disappointing
reluctance in the double violel sale.
Each year sees the single violet get. a
stronger lead over the double and it
is now a fact that the once popular
Marie Louise would scarcely be missed
if eliminated from the New England
trade entirely. One wholesaler asserts
that he could have used without effort
10,000 more Beacon carnations than
were to be obtained and many more
Richmond roses. Indeed, the rose
market was very brisk — white sorts
alone excepted. In plants, the busi-
ness done was in excess of any pre-
vious record. Everything sold out
with the exception of azaleas and a
few poinsettias of pcor quality. Aza-
leas were evidently in rather too
abundant supply, although they were
mainly of the red sorts, and quite a
few were left unsold. As a contrast
to previous years, Lorraine begonias
sold splendidly, owing probably to the
lower prices quoted this season. Ardi-
sias were the best sellers in the entire
list. Greens sold well but there was
far too much boxwood on hand and
some dealers have a good supply left
for the balance of the season. Very
little domestic mistletoe was in evi-
dence but there was plenty of the im-
ported and it was of remarkably fine
quality.

Last week verified the
CHICAGO old saying that, "All's

well that ends well."
The last week before Christmas
opened very quietly and many were
doubtful of the Christmas sales being
up to an average year, but the latter
part of the week brought a rush of
business, the equal of which has not
been seen by some of the oldest in the
business. Wholesaler and retailer
alike are pleased with the business
done and the last week of 1911 opens
with prices almost as high as on any
day of the past week, while stock is
inclined to be short, carnations espe-
cially. No decline in prices is ex-
pected until after the New Year.
White flowers are a little more In evi-
dence and are needed for the extra
funeral work coming at this time. Vio-
lets are plentiful enough for the de-
mand while sweet peas are coming
about as fast as needed. Paper white
narcissi and Roman hyacinths have
not moved particularly well all the
season, lily of the valley taking the
lead with white flowers. Chrysanthe-
mums are of the past and Christmas
greens are following, leaving the stand-
bys, carnations and roses, to supply

was white carnations and white roses.
Even these were sold at fair prices,
considering the stock. American Beau-
ties were scarce as had been antici-
pated, all other stock being abundant.
As one dealer remarked, "It was not
scarcity of stock, but abundance of
buyers that kept prices up." Carna-
tions were picked so close to meet de-
mand that at this writing (December
26), they are selling for $6.00 and $7.00
a hundred. All in all, it was a record-
breaking Christmas week, exceeding
all expectations.

The

20th the buyers are
This year, however,
easily adequate and promises to be so
for the balance of the week. Still the
successive rainy dark days make prog-
nostications as to the availability of
a certain flower or stock in general
more or less uncertain. Everyone says
that Christmas business was very sat-
isfactory. Red was in most demand
and outside of poinscttias the quanti-
ty of no other flower of this color was
sufficient. White tended to drag and
trail after its colored brethren. Nar-
cissus did not move near as fast as in
past years in spite of the general good
quality of the supply offered. AH
roses cleaned up. American Beauties
are in short supply and promise to con-
tinue so for a fortnight at least. Kil-
larney cleans up quickly each day.
The offerings of Bride and Ivory are
large and of good quality. Among the
carnations dark stock, in red and rose
pink shades scarcely filled the require-
ment, and even now clean up as fast
as they arrive. Enchantress, too,
moves well but some white, however,
were left over at the close of Christ-
mas business. Lilies of quality are
good property while the seconds find
a slow market. Callas are selling well.
Violets did not quite clean up entire-
ly.

The market tor
NEW YORK Christmas was well
supplied with every-
thing in seasonable cut flower stock.
With the exception of the inevitable
holiday demand for red carnations and
red roses and the corresponding ad-
vantage to any other flower approach-
ing this color there was an abundance
of every variety and .made to suit the
buyer and prices were fairly satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned; although
moderate on some lines as compared
with previous similar occasions.

Weather conditions suited the trade
exactly. It will be many years in all
probability before a situation equally
satisfactory to all interests will pre-
sent itself. It had been expected that
there would be, as in the past, an un-
wieldy glut of violets but this was not
so. The quality, however, was not up
to expectations. The plant trade took
care of itself nicely. The growers
were all cleaned out well in advance
and the retailers made a splendid rec-
ord in this department, there being al-
most nothing left as a reminder of
Christmas on the morning of the 26th
except empty shelves and stands. This
week finds the market in healthy
shape, supply not heavy, quality
good, prices steady and the weather
outlook good for a continuance of
these conditions for a week at least.

The Christmas cut
PHILADELPHIA flower market
here was very
good, and we think we can safely say
that it was considerably larger in vol-
ume than last year. This applies not
only to local trade but also to ship-
ments to interior points — indicating
that the cut flower business in general
held its own and more, not only here
but in our smaller tributary cities and
towns. The general disposition was
to make prices a little lower than last
year, rather than to insist on higher
prices and take chances— so that per-
haps the actual cash returns were
probably no larger than last year; but
a much larger quantity of stock was
moved.

Roses went over well indeed and
everything fit was cleaned right. Pink
Killamey was good as to size but a
little off as to color on the early ship-
ments due not to holding but to the
cloudy weather, but the later arrivals
were good. Riehmonds were excep-

tionally good. Beauties also were very
good and sold well although at slight-
ly lower figures than last year. The
demand for while roses although not
extra was enough to take care of all
the stock that arrived. Carnations
sold exceptionally well. The quality
was probably the best ever seen here
at Christmas and the prices realized
were satisfactory. Beacon was of
course the leader in the favorite red
section and much of the stock brought
as high as fifteen while very few reds
of any variety brought less than ten.
Orchids were a little more plenty this

year, and sold for rather less umiicj
quality was excellent. The best qua!
ity Gardenias were on the scarce lisl
with demand and price about the same
as last year. There were a lot of poor
ones that hunt; fire. Violets, both
single and double, were in good de-
mand, bringing slightly better than
the usual prices, l.ilv of the valley
and longiflorums were about normal.
Mignonette was extra good — mucb bet-
ter than last year and went briskly.
Bouvardia was an important Item and
although not overly plentiful was of un-
ledly good quality and sold well.
There was a good demand for such
scarce it< ms as Mrs. Aanm Ward and
Mrs. Taft roses and many orders had
to be turned down as the crop was off.
Greens went about as usual. Xo spe-
cial features worthy of mention. Hol-
ly wreaths wen- in brisk demand.

Not for forty years
SYRACUSE has such a Christmas

been known as the
one just passetl. No snow, or the
merry jingle of the sleigh bells, but
in their place the streets are dusty,
the grass green and many dandelions
picked. This weather has continued
for nearly three weeks— and as a re-
sult many bulbs are pushing up
through the ground. Holly was plen-
tiful, the quality not up to grade as
to berries. Christmas trees wen ol
good quality and in quantity sufficient
to supply the demand. Much damage
has been done in some of the parks
and private grounds by men and boys
cutting the tops off some of the best
fir trees and it is a matter of mucb
regret that they were not caught and
severely dealt with. Trade was very
good in flowering plants, well up to
the average. Some claim a large in-
e over previous years. Lorraine
and Cincinnati begonias were every-
where, and over-stocked: people are
ng shy of them and the florists
must find something more lasting or
fall back \ipon some of the old varie-
Poinsettias sold well and are
quite popular, especially in pans with
terns or asparagus. Azaleas were not
over plentiful or extra good as a rule
Bulb stuff moved off slowly and was
cleaned out. Cyclamen were good sell-
lier to a limited extent
Primula obconica and chinensis sold
fairly well. The public want bright-
' colored flowers at this time. Ardisias.
peppers and cherries were good sellers
and few are left over. There was no
advance in the price of pot plants — a
very noticeable falling off in the sale
of palms, rubbers, araucarias and
ferns was noticed. Medium priced

We can safely say that Christmas this
year was fully up to expectations. The
wholesale markets had a great lot of
stock of all kinds and it cleaned out
well and early. A great cut of violets
came in from the Klrkwood growers,
with price less than at any Christmas

before; not over $10.00 per ! lid

was quite warm during the entire

There was a very heavy supply of
blooming azaleas and begonias and
made-up pans of combinations of dra-

ready sale and here the supply could
not keep up with the demand, espe-
cially those locally grown. One very
exceptional feature of this Christmas
was the largt; amount of flowers used
for church decorations, the demand for
cut flowers and plants being almost as
heavy as at Easter time. One church,
in particular, this year used over three
hundred poinsettias, and with very
good effect, banked as they were in the
organ loft and suspended in baskets
around the balconies. This, together
with an elaborate supply of southern
smilax, holly and laurel wreathing,
made a very impressive scene which
caused a great deal of favorable com-
ment. On the day following Christmas
it was almost impossible to find a
piece of holly or mistletoe with which
to fill orders for the festivities among
the smart set which are taking place
during the week. Business in the Cen-
tre Market during the holidays was
exceptionally good and the Saturday
night before Christmas found practi-
cally all the stands cleaned out.

RETAIL CHRIST- both plants and

MAS MARKET cut flowers,

The general
consensus of opinion (gathered from
the leading retail men in personal in-
terviews) seems to be that the year
was not as good as last. People gen-
erally did not seem to have the money
for ordinary luxuries after paying for
their automobile hurrahs of the past
few years. Those retailers who claimed
an increase admitted that said increase
was mostly in their charge sales. We
found few, if any, who were willing
to admit that their cash sales were
larger. In plants there was quite a
lot of good stock left over at the
close of the market. In cut flowers,
this was not so pronounced. What
few left-overs appeared in the latter
were of the punky kind, caused either
by the weather or by the growers
holding them back too long. One
good feature this year was the ease
of delivery caused both by the mild
weather and the fact that it was Sun-
day the day before. The latter fact
caused people to place their orders on
Saturday, which gave one full day to
catch up, and obviated much of the
usual night-work. One retailer who
has been thirty-five years at the same
stand said it had been the easiest
Christmas he had ever put in, although
he imagined he had done about as
much business as usual.

There were no striking novelties of
any kind to be seen either in plants
or cut flowers. In fact many of the
odd and rare things of recent years
that were hailed with hope and an-
ticipation as having a future were

conspicuous by their absence. The
old standbys such as poinsettia, Lor-
raine, azalea, erica, croton, pandanus,
dracena were all out in full force and
holding their own — most of the stock
seen in these lines being very well
grown and well finished. There was
some good holly around this year, but
most of It was rather dry, crinkly,
brown and lacking in substance, gloss
and finish. Holly is about "the limit"
when it is below the mark; no good
unless it is good. "When it's good,
it's very, very good; when it's bad,
it's horrid!" Mistletoe was about nor-
mal. Plenty of laurel. Lycopodium
was in better supply than last year on
account of the mild season, even as far
north as the deep woods in Wisconsin,
but there was no over-supply. Around
City Hall square, which is the hub of
the Christmas tree trade, the supply
seemed to be much smaller than last
year. Most dealers had cut their
orders in half and some had quit.
Notwithstanding that condition, half
the meagre stock was left unsold,
showing that the Christmas tree cus-
tom is gradually on the wane in
Philadelphia.
