FUNERAL BUNCHES. Roses. The bunches illustrated this week con- tain the same roses (Bridesmaid and La France) that were used in the bunches of which pictures appeared in our issue of October 30. The arrangement is somewhat differ- ent. Adiantuni has been used in place of asparagus and less green for a founda- tion. No. 3 contains three dozen, and a side view is given to show the depth of the bunch, while No. 4 contains six dozen roses and the view is of the top. The smaller bunch is usuallj' sold for $.5 and the larger one for $10. Adiantum is always pretty and dainty arranged with roses, and is very desir- able when the bunch is to be delivered late, or but a few hours before the .serv- ices, but where the arrangement must a variety often will do finely on one place and not at all well on another, perhaps not very far away. Among the whites we are so well pleased with Queen Louise that we will likely make it our main white next sea- son. The bloom is as good as that of White Cloud, and it is much earlier and freer and a much nicer grower. One of the most promising things we have come across lately. Lorna is a greatlj' improved White Cloud with us and we shall grow it in place of White Cloud. The growth is better and the blooms come earlier and a little larger. Norway was rather a disappointment last year and we have only a few this year. The plants were not so large and they lifted better this fall and have been doing much better in the house. Not so good, though, as the above two. white. The growth is vigorous and the stems are strong. We think very highly of this new variety and I miss my guess if it does not become a standard white. In pink Ethel Crocker is still on top both in quantity and quality. It has done so well with us that we have made it our main stand-by. The blooms are right now selling for one-third more than those of any other variety on our place except some seedlings and our customers, are glad to pay the difference. As a summer bloomer it cannot be beaten, as the blooms come almost as good in sum- mer as they do in winter and the color is fine at all times. This variety is a good example of how a good variety may fail the first j-ear or two. Not one grower in a dozen had any success with it the first year it was out, but we see and hear of more growers taking it up again right along and doing it nicely now that they know what it wants. There is perhaps nothing in the car- nation line that looks richer than a bunch of well grown Lawsons. It seems just about imposssible to get a good long stem onto this variety before the middle of November, and of course the blooms cannot command as high a price while the stems are so short, as the same grade blooms will bring later on long stems. Mrs. Nelson is behaving nicely and bids fair to become a standard variety. Funeral Bunch of Roses. No. 3. Side view. be delivered a considerable time in ad- vance of the funeral the adiantum soon wilts and this injures the beauty of the bunch, making the flowers look wilted also. For this reason adiantum is prob- ably less used than in former years. L. P. Waiz. CARNATION NOTES-WEST. Notes on Varieties. This week I redeem my promise to go over our list of varieties and comment on the merits and demerits of the various sorts as they are behaving on our place. You must bear in mind, however, that Flora Hill is still as much of a favor- ite as ever, and we could not do without it. There is nothing yet that will take its place during warm weather in spring and summer. White Cloud is still fine, with many growers, but here it is not so good as Lorna, and it will have to give way. Alba makes a fine bloom, pure white and large size, but it evidently wants early propagating to get quantity. We shall plant this in larger quantities next season and propagate it early. Last spring we received 2.5 plants of Her Majesty for trial and we are well pleased with its behavior. The blooms are large and of fine form and pure The growth is free and strong. The blooms are large and of good form and color and altogether it looks like a good one. Dorothy is as free as anything we have ever seen and it is the earliest car- nation we have. The blooms are of aver- age size and on good stems. The color is rather deep, but it keeps well, and where quantity is wanted it is hard to beat. You should visit its home at Rich- mond if you want to see it done properly. Mrs. Joost is still a favorite with us and a bench is filled with it. The color is good and it is very free and steady. The growth is upright and the stems are always strong. If you grow only one The Weekly Florists' Review* November 27. 1902. pink variety, this would likely prove the most satisfactory. rioriana is proving to be a good thing. The color is good and the growth is free and strong. We consider it far superior to Marquis, which it resembles some- what in color and form. In red we are growing both Crane and America in quantity and both are good. Crane is giving us large quantities now of fine blooms on long stems and we are well pleased with it. A standard scarlet. America has not come into full crop with us yet, and the stems are not so long as those of Crane, but it is so good by mid- winter that we must have it. Among the newer ones we like Apollo very much, indeed. You can hardly tell it from Crane, except that the color is much more brilliant. Does not perfect its bloom as early, though, with us. Mrs. Potter Palmer does not seem to like warm weather, but is beginning to improve wonderfully and will likely prove a fine cold weather variety, as were both of its parents. The color is getting much better lately. James Manley was so determined to bloom that he forgot to grow and ovir plants are not very promising. With a good start and proper handling this is likely to prove a red Dorothy. Estelle is another variety that has failed to make good enough plants to make a good crop of blooms possible. If we could get the color of this one into Crane or America we would surely have a prize winner. Start it early if you want quantity. We are growing a few plants of Roose- velt just for novelty, and there is nothing in its class to touch it except, perhaps, last spring's novelties. It is early and free and of good quality. Stella Is a fine variegated sort that seems to be giving entire satisfaction. The bloom is as large as Bradt and much prettier, we think. The growth is en- tirely different and it is as free as most varieties. A good one to grow in its class. We received a few plants of Viola Allen mixed in our J. Manley stock, and the}' are doing finely. As a general thing we object to setting mixed stock, but in this case we are rather pleased, be- cause we had not ordered any V. Allen. The blooms are large, of good form and on good stems. An A No. I variegated sort. In light pink we grow Elma and have discarded all others, because Elma gave us better blooms and more of them than any other. It is early and free and of fine quality with us. A little particular as to culture, but very grateful for a little extra care. Seedlings? Well, yes, we have some, in fact quite a good many and some of them we A-alue quite highly, but you will hear from them later on, when we have enough to disseminate them. They were not taken into consideration in making out the above list. A. E. J. Baur. CARNATION NOTES-EAST. New Introductions. The buying of new varieties is not much of a lottery at the present time, thanks to the energy of our originators and introducers, who are taking advan- tage of every opportunity to display their aspirants at various exhibitions throughout the country. Couple ynth this the liberality of our trade papers and the work of the American Carnation Society, one need not go astray in the selection of additions or substitutions that may be in mind. Early in the season I have been often asked how it was that this or that car- nation scored so high when judged. My answer is this: If you will cultivate patience to a degree that will at all compare with the amount possessed by a hybridist, you will no doubt be re- warded with the information desired. In other words do not judge a variety too quickly. Some are naturally later than others and certainly it is not de- siiable to have all early or all late. Remember there are other days than Xmas, Easter. Jlemorial Day and holi- days, so it is best to -wait until a year's experience is had before forming an opinion. In ray notes of November 13 it occurs to me that perhaps my remarks con- cerning some varieties may be taken as criticism. Such, however, was not my purpose, my sole object being to state conditions then present. These fall ex- hibitions give the grower a chance to see the quality produced early in the season. A visit to the introducer's es- tablishment during .January would be of immense value, but being in many eases impossible, the trade papers must be thoroughly read. Cross examination of all knights of the grip (they arc full of information even if not selling carna- tions) will be of great advantage. With the average grower it is im- possible to inrhule all new varieties, but it is good policy to give those varieties a trial which promise to excel any of those your judgment tells you are fall- ing behind. Buying .50 or 100 of a sort is almost money thrown away. One cannot expect many blooms from so few plants, while if grown for cuttings only there is danger of over-propagation to- gether with a loss of knowledge as to blooming qualities, requirements and a host of otlier things necessary to suc- cess. Better to have waitecj another year when lower in price. Still better is to arrange for at least .500. contenting oneself, if need be. with fewer varieties. With .500 plants you can have sufficient bloom to place them properly before the public, who arc the real critics after all ; liesidcs enough cuttings can be made for the next year. Now a word to the disseminators: \yould it not be to your advantage to give printed directions, drawn from your experience, with every shipment of cuttings, furnishing explicit information as to temperature, field culture, time to house, and treatment generally? I am pleased to note that this custom has bigun and it is hoped that it will be enlarged upon, in the end becoming gen- eral. One important step, it is noticed, ha^ been taken in the right direction, and that is the sending out of stock in -Tiinuary. Geo. S. Osbokn. CARNATIONS-SMILAX. Please fell me what ails the carnations of which I send some foliage, and the remedy for the trouble. Will smilax stand tobacco fumigation ? Is it necessary to freeze Von Sion uar cissus before forcing? J. C. B. The carnation foliage you sent is aboiit as full of red spider as it very well could be. and you surely must have been following the advice of one of these gentlemen who condemn the syringing of carnations after they begin to grow on the benches, or else you have been very negligent in caring for your plants. If your water supply has a good force back of it you can rid your plants of the spider b}' syringing them hard from both sides two or three times each week for a few weeks, and then you can keep them clean by syringing them once each week through the season. Always choose a bright day for this work and do it as early in the day as you can, say between 8 and 11 o'clock, so the plants will have time to dry off before evening. The other two questions really belong to my friend Scott, but he sometimes comes over into my carnation patch without any objections being raised, so I will answer them. Tobacco smoke will not injure smilax unless the smoke is quite strong and you must also take into consideration that the young growth is frequently way up near the roof of the house and the smoke is very apt to be extra thick up there, so be careful in fumigating a smilax house, though it will stand as much as most plants. Von Sion narcissus do not need to be frozen to force well. All .vou need is a good strong root growth before you begin to force them. If you want direc- tions in detail regarding their culture just ask Brother Scott; he can give you directions in detail from the time you order the bulbs until you cut the blooms, but I can tell you that you need not freeze them. " A. F. J. BaUR. ROSES. Seasonable Hints. As a propagating medium, sand being in most districts easily obtained, is most universally >ised, although there are other materials which can be used with equal success. Sharp, clean sand, whether obtained from lake, river or sandpit, if it con- tains nothing which can decompose and prevent the formation of roots, is good enough for all ordinary purposes, but as this contains in itself nothing nutri- tive for supporting plants the cuttings must be removed from it and potted .just as soon as root formation has taken place, water being the only means of support until this condition is obtained. If the cuttings are allowed to remain longer in the sand the eyes will break but the growth must necessarily be weak. Sifted coke, or fine charcoal can also be used with advantage for winter prop- agation, but in my experience I found it absorbed too much heat dviring warm weather to be of much use for spring or early summer work, stich as chrysan- themum cuttings, etc. The sand should be pounded until it is moderately firm, and left of a uni- form depth of four or four and one-half inches, thoroughly watered, and brought to the temperature desired. GO or 02 de- grees being about the ideal. At the lower temperature it takes a few days longer to complete the root formation, but the cuttings are usually hardy and robust, and when potted start into work easily and grow rapidly. For Beau- ties, Meteors and Perles the higher tem- perature is best. The temperature of the house should be ten degrees lower than that of the NovE.MUER 27, 1902. The Weekly Florists' Review. Funeral Bunch of Roses. No. 4. Top view. Band; this discourages the brealiing of eyes and making of wood wliile root formation is in progress. To obtain success in propagating the house requires the strictest care and at- tention in ventilating, watering, and the intelligent regulation of the heat con- served beneath the benches, as any care- lessness or inattention in these matters can easily ruin a whole houseful of cut- tings. The selection of suitable wood, style of cutting, etc., will be treated in my next paper. Ribes. CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Review of Varieties. The exhibitions are over, and in ac- cordance with our usual custon^ we will review the field and see what va- rieties have proved themselves entitled to climb up the ladder of fame. Some of the varieties that are very prominent at exhibitions are not of much value to the commercial man, and if the recom- mendation of the C. S. A. to put in classes at exhibitions for supported flowers is generally carried out, the dif- ference between varieties suitable for exhibiting and varieties suitable for commercial work will be even more pro- nounced. Without going into the merits or de- merits of that recommendation further llinn to say that I am in favor of it, I will give a list of about thirty varieties that I believe are the best that can be grown for exhibition purposes. I have gone to considerable trouble in com- piling this list, and have been very care- ful in the selection because I happen to know that not a few exhibition growers read it, and govern themselves accord- ingly. The varieties are listed in the order of their flowering. Yellows: C. J. Salter, Mrs. T. W. Pockett, Mabel Morgan, Yellow Carnot, Appleton, Mrs. Thurkell and Goldmine. Of these Salter and Pockett have been previously mentioned in these notes. Their only weak spot is that they are a trifle early for the bulk of the exhibi- tions. Appleton, Yellow Carnot and Goldmine are well known. I frankly confess that I cannot handle Goldmine, but it has been shown in splendid sha,pe this year at several places and cannot be ignored. Mabel Morgan is a beauti- ful Japanese, rather light in color, but ideal in form and finish. Mrs. E. Tliurkell is also a Japanese with long iliooping florets, splendid color and as set up this year one of the very finest of all the yellows. I notice Mr. Smith makes a needed correction as to the proper name of this variety. Wliites: Nellie Pockett, Weeks, Car- not, Merza, Eaton, Florence Molyneux and Chadwick. There is only one in this list, Florence Molyneux, that is at all new. This variety is a trifle weak in the stem, but may overcome that defect. Merza has been shown finer than ever. Chadwick is really a poor white, owing to the pink shade that shows through it, but it is irreproacha- ble in form and finish, and is late, which makes it useful for later shows. There is lots of room for several more good whites in this- class. Convention Hall will be tried by some and may make a name for itself. In pinks, Mrs. Coombes, Marie Liger, A. J. Balfour, V. Morel. Mrs. Barkley and R. E. Richardson seem about the best. Coombes is rather too early, but it is a fine keeper. Liger you have all seen at the different exhibitions. Bal- four is small and shy on petalage, but that wonderful color often carries it through. Barkley was exhibited in 'New York in wonderful shape, and Richard- son, while a shade small, is the most beautiful shade of pink perhaps of the whole lot. Columbia is spoken of as a pink for this class, but I have not seen it. Chamberlain was a disappointment to me as an exhibition pink, owing to Its lack of petalage, though the color is beautiful. In the purple class,as it may be called for want of a better term, or the class for any other color, I place Carrington, Millieent Richardson, Chas. Longley and Geo. Carpenter. Carrington has been exhibited vei-y extensively this fall and invariably fine. Millieent Richard- son and Longley have been spoken of in these notes before, the first named being much brighter than Carrington. Car- penter is dull in color and rather short in the petal and if one has the three first named he hardly needs the last one, though it is all right as a variety. An- other variety that must go into this class of any other color, as it is not a good self color, is Lord Salisbury. This variety is yellow suflfused with crimson, not a particularly taking color, but sim- ply immense in size. It is a .Japanese with petals 10 inches long. The petals drop right down and the real size of the flower is not seen unless it is set up on a board. Like most of the other big fellows today it comes from Australia. In the crimson class, H. J. Jones Is immense, though many growers this year took the bud too early, and the flower instead of being rich crimson came chestnut brown or some other off color, but from a bud taken the last of August, Jones will produce a beautiful flower. Lord Hopetoun, a new Austra- lian, may crowd it close next year, as it is claimed to be brighter in color than Jones and a better grower. In the bronze section Broomhead seems to be the only thing, though won- derful flowers of Rustique were shown at Lenox, I am told. It seems to me that W. R. Church will have to go into this section. It is catalogued as a rosy crimson with bronze reverse, but it only shows the bronze i-everse. I note some remarks in an English paper about over-dressing a flower of Church, that is, of turning the petals inside out and making a reflexed out of an incurving variety. In America a dressed flower is barred out from competition, there- fore I see no place for Church but as an incurving bronze. The Australian Varieties. Nothing is more remarkable in look- ing over this list than to note the fact that at least one-third are Australian The Weekly Florists' Review, NuVKMBER 27. 1911: raised varieties. They include Nellie Pockett, Mabel Jlorgaii, C. J. Salter, Mrs. T. W. Pockett, Lord Hopetovin, Charles Longley, Millicent Richardson, George Carpenter, Lord Salisbury, W. R. Church, T. Carrington and Mrs. Tliur- kell. In addition to these there are several others that may be heard from next year. These include Lady Hopetoun, a cream color; Colonel Rowell, yellow; Daisy Moore, pink; Mrs. Emerton, yel- low; and I don't know how many more dark horses. It is a wonderful record and one of which the Australians may well be proud. In saying this I make no reflection on our own- raisers, who have been working of late years more particularly on commercial lines. This may in the f\iture l)e changed if the ex- hib'ition schedules are broadened. Quite, a few of the Australian varieties are only good for exhibiting, but that seems to have been what the raisers were working for. The Australian has a great advantasc over us anyway, for I understand that most of the plants are Howered in the open ground, which is a great economy of time and space. Advancis of the Year. This year shows a tremendous ad- vance ineveiy section except the whites, and these remain much the same. Eaton has not been so prominent as many seemed to think it would be. Merza when well done beats it hollow, and so does Florence ilolyneux. Eaton is cer- tainly rough, which kills it in a close competition. Next week we will look over the com- mercial field and see what changes may be beneficial to our pocketbooks and tempers. Bkxan Bobu. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Christmas Plants. Thanksgiving will sec the end of chrysanthemums with many of us, and if we should have soni", left the public fancy seems to love them. After that all attention will be i)aid to llio flower- ing and ornamental plants for Christ- mas sales. Poins«ttias. Poinsettias want to be kept at 00 degrees at night — not lower. If suffer- ing for root room, give tlienr weak liquid manure twice a week; don't at- tempt to disturb their roots. Fumiga- tion does not hurt poinsettias, but that does not destroy mealy bug, whioli is the worst enemy they have, and now is about the time they appear. The bugs cluster around the real flowers and nectar cups. If in pots, lift each plant down, and while one pair of hands liolds the plant in position, let another man direct a fine but strong stream of water from the hose. It will wash them out clean, and no alarming num- ber of the bugs can return before the plants are sold or flowers cut. I will repeat that of late years our customers want 8 to 12-inch pans of these from 1 foot to 18 inches high, and if you are short of them, don't attempt I0 make them up now or you will have only a lot of yellow leaves at Christ- mas. Defer that until the day before they are wanted. Cyclamen. Cyclamen I once tried in 50 degrees at night, and at 60 degrees, and at 55 degieeS, and found the latter tempera- ture to be the Ihing— a little slow at 50, a little weak at 00, but 55 was all right. This is a plant you can recom- mend with all confidence as a good house plant, for it has no superior among flowering plants for the purpose. Except the few that you keep in your show house, it pays to elevate them on 5 or 6-inch inverted pots, with plenty of tobacco stems between them. It will save vou much fumigating, and smoke as dense as you can, the lly is hard to reach among the leaves and buds, for a well-grown cyclamen should be a mass of leaves. We found last year that handle bas- kets of plants, which we fill in various ways, sold very readily when filled with five or six moderate-sized ivclamen of various colors and a few plants of maidenhair fern. On bright mornings .syringe the foliage of cyclamen. For largej early plants growers sow in Sep- tember, and you can sow now and ob- tain sjilendid plants in twelve months. Begonia Lorraine. Begonia Gloirc de Lorraine will, I suppose, again be a most prominent holidav plant. It lasts but a short while when taken into the dining room or drawing room, or even kitchen, but is so beautiful that good people over- look that, and it surely lasts as long as a bunch of roses. It is not only as a pretty single plant that it is in demand ; a pltTteau filled with Lorraine for a din- ner table center piece is grand in ef- fect where that color is desired. And this is where small, well flowered plants in 3 or 4-inch pots are most useful. This plant also pays to stand up on pots, giving plenty of air around the foliage, and where' they can be ^vatered more freely without wetting their foli- age, which is not desirable. Put to- bacco stems among the pots. What should we do without this de- licious weed? If it is not an absolute essential to soothe our troubled spirits or solace our lonely hours, it is indis- pensable in a giecnhouse, and with all the lectures and talks and essays against nicotiana it will be used by 7nan (I hope not woman) for all ages. The young woman who objects to your smoking before marriage learns in after years to run upstairs for your pipe, and likes to see vou enjoy it. One more word in this diversion: Did .you ever notice that the few men of your ac- quaintance who neither chew, smoke nor take a little stimulant are so in- Icnially active ;uid chattering that, however profitable they may be to them- selves, they become a nuisance as com- panions. Ardisias. Till' Aulisiu crenulata is the best ol the berried plants, handsomest and most lasting. It will do very well in a tern perature of 50 at night. Syringe occa- sionally to keep the holly-like foliage liright :\r,d ciossy. Azaleas. For some reason the early varieties of azaleas that we force for Christmas are more than usually advanced this >ear. Particularly is this the case witli Deutsche Perle. Let them come along: they will keep quite a while in a cooler lioiise after lieing well flowered. Ver- vacneana and Simon Mardner need a little more heat to bring them along as fast. Sixty to 65 at night and a daily syringing is what they want, ^top the syringing after the flowers are open. Primroses. Tlic Chinese primroses are in fair de- mand at Christmas, and three or four plants in a 9 or 10-inch pan sell well. We never grow them in a larger than 4-inch pot. and if carefully done, three i,r four of these can be put in a pan without much harm to the plants. We thought little of Primula obconica. for years. That was not the fault of the beautiful plant, but our obtuseness. I have never seen them at their best as early as Christmas, and it seems a pity to sell them with only a few spikes when they make such splendid masses of bloom "two months later. Bulbous Plants. There are only two kinds of bulbous stock that are sold much at Christmas — viz. the Roman hyacinth and the paper'white. It is too early for tulips, and there are many more desirable flowers. A pan of Roman hyacinths or paper white narcissus not over 8 inches in diameter is very salable. These, of course, should have been brought in some weeks ago. The hyacinth will force quickly, but is much better for this purpose" when brought along slow- ly. Then the foliage is stifif and the flower spike stout. Still more should the paper white be grown cool and light. Then it is a fine flower, even when grown for cutting, which 90 per cent of all these are. It is a poor, flimsy flower when forced with much heat. If lily of the valley is wanted in pots or pans, you must depend on cold storage, and if put in about December 4 or 5 will be fully developed by Christ- mas. Of course, vou are all fully aware that cold storage valley wants a very different treatment from the newly im- ported. The latter is reluctant to be disturbed from its slumber, and will make no start without strong heat and moisture, while the cold storage has been arrested- and is anxious to grow. Still this should not be put into a very cool draughty house. The same bed as you use for forcing in February will do. but 55 to 60 is as warm as the sand should be. and the atmosphere about the same. Little or no shade is necessary in the dark December days. Other Plants. The above includes about all tho flowering plants we have to oflfer our customers at the holidays. A good sun- Novh;:\rBKU '21. IIIO'J.

FOREIGN CHRYSANTHEMUMS IN AMERICA. BY E. O. HILL. [Preseuted lo the Cbrysanthemuai Society or America at the Chicago convention.] For the past twenty years we have annually imported the foreign varieties and tested them to find their value in this country. A catalogue of 1884 con- tains the names of forty-six sorts, about equally divided between continental and English varieties, not one of which is now in general cultivation, and only Elaine, Temple of Solomon, C. H. Glo- ver and Geo. Glenny are even remem- bered by name. For some four years later, up to 1888, the catalogues list principally foreign sorts, most of them of French origin, and a few exhibitions previous to that (late showed imported sorts almost ex- clusively; these exhibits were wonder- fully beautiful, but the standard of ex- cellence was totally different from that of the present time, and as the years have gone by, American varieties have crowded the foreigners almost entirely off the boards. Mrs. Jerome Jones was introduced in 1892, and had a marked effect upon the standard of judging high quality blooms both for exhibition and for commercial purposes; we had been working up to- wards this standard, but a glance at this fine mum emphasized the necessity of the upright stem, covered with glossy, stiff foliage quite up to the flower, and as this idea took firmer hold each year, more and more of the foreign varielties have been denied a place. M. Calvit has sent out some Ihirty to forty new sorts each year for the past ten years, all of which have been im- ported into this country and tested; there have been some magnificent blooms among them, mammoth in size and of fine form and color, in many particulars approaching the American ideal and showing a marked improvement from year to year, yet up to the present time only the following sorts have met any recognition at all in this cotintry: Mme. Carnot, M. Benj. Giroud, Mme. F. Per- lin, Australian Gold, Soliel d'Oetober, Fee du Champsaur and Lucie Faure. ilmc. Carnot, in the hands of an expert giowei', reaches a fine quality for ex- hibition; M. Benj. Giroud finds favor with a limited few, as a nice early com- mercial red, but it is undersized and rather short of stem; Lucie Faure had nearly all the necessary good qualities, but too often came bare-necked and rather soft ; the same may be said of Fee du Champsaur, though in a less de- gree; .Australian Gold came within one count of being a perfect commercial yel- low, its only defect being its long neck. Soliel d'Oetober, after five years i8 again being sought for, as it is showing promise of many useful qualities; I can- not help saying that I have little doubt that a number of these varieties have been too hastily discarded; importing novelties into this country gives them a serious check and they seldom disclose their true character during the first sea- son of trial and frequently even in the second year we do not succeed in show- ing them at their best, as we may not have taken the bud at; the right time, or they may have been planted too early or too late, or the food may not have suited the variety. We can all recall cases of new sorts which have narrowly escaped oblivion, even though in the hands of several good growers, which have finally sur- prised the experts by showing what they could do. No better example comes to mind at the moment than Eobt. Halliday, and it had no voyage across the Atlan- tic to give it a back-set. Of all the French varieties introduced into this country none has made the record or held the place attained by V.-Morel, and it must be a fine pinl< mum indeed that can compete with it. though far from being the ideal in color. 'Hie survival of English sorts makes little better record than that of the French, though nearly all of the best novelties are tried annually. White and Yellow Fitzwygram are well known over here, are heartily admired and almost as frequently disliked by growers who cannot "do" them. E. H. Pearson is recognized as a finely colored early, of medium size ; Mrs. Weeks is fatally soft in petal, though exquisitely beautiful; Mrs. Barkley, H. J. Jones, Kate Broom- head, have all secured a good footing and at the present writing it looks as if this season would see them mount the The Weekly Florists' Review. NOVKMBER 27, 1902. ladder a round or two, though this is DOt fully assured. A few sorts originated in England are well known and will doubtless hold a permanent place. These are the two var- iations of V.-Morel into bronze, Chas, Davis and Lady Hanham, each of which is unsurpassed in its own particular shade, and this year we are trying Chas. Davis Improved, an unfortunate though thoroughly descriptive name of a variety which is delightfully promising at the moment. The Japanese importations of past years have not held place for even so long a time as the European sorts, though Mrs. Alpheus Hardy, Lillian Bird Bnd the rest of that charming colony linger with us as beautiful memories, though no longer seen outside of private collections. Golden Wedding, however, remains as one of the very best and most usefiil of all the varieties from the land of the chrysanthemum. Glory of the Pacific is another Japa- nese which has remained in cultivation a good length of time, this from the fact that previous to the past two years a foot long and bare of any leaf, as Tri. de St. Laurent, but no one knows the fact except the grower, when only the bloom is shown. Form is a strong point with the American mum, but many re- flexing sorts cover very wide spaces on the board where they would be decidedly out of form in a vase, all depth and no diameter. And right here it might be well to inquire if we have done the wise part in discarding so many of these very large and showy varieties, when they would add so greatly to our exhibits in points of interest were they admitted. We are not ready to go back to the flat boards except as an incidental part of an ex- hibit, as at Kansas City this j'car, where it attracted wide attention as a novel feature, but we would suggest that rules might be formulated allowing these giant blooms to have their stems rein- forced by a second stem with foliage if necessary : if carefully done and all growers allowed the same privilege, we do not see that it could be regarded as a backward step, and the exhibition would be the gainer by allowing the House of Sunrise, at Peter Reinberg's, Chicago. Benched May J5. Photographed Oct. J 1 there have been no good early pinks to take its place, but with Ladv Harriett in the field. Glory of the Pacific will have to drop out. In the early 'Ms a goodly number of Japanese varieties were sent here under number and many were christened and sent out by American firms, but most, if not all, have been relegated to the rear. The question naturally arises: Why this complete practical displacement of the foreigners by the Americans ? I think that the answer is found in the different style of setting up the blooms at the shows abroad, as compared with our home exhibitions, as well as the differ- ence in the style of arranging flo%vers for social occasions. To the exhibitor who shows his flowers on a flat board it makes no difference whatever as to the habit of the plant, the stem may he so slender and weak as to only allow the flower to cast all its glances to the floor, as Chenon de Leehe, for instance. Its magnificent spread is all right on a boal-d, but nowhere else does it show to advantage. A variety may have a neck entry of some of the most wonderful blooms extant which are now debarred by our present standards and rulings. The handsomest and most practical French variety since V.-Morel is the one bearing the label Mile. Marie Liger; here is perfection of foliage, habit, stem, size, form, in pleasing pink, with fine consti- tution, besides being an easy doer, and bringing no seconds; this variety may well be accepted as a standard of excel- lence and our French friends did well in awarding it the American prize at the Paris exposition. Among the more promising English and French varieties of the past two years may be mentioned Ville de Bor- deaux, a most delightful pink variety, and we think that it has the many good qualities necessary to commend it to the American grower; Miss Jessie Cottee, a golden yellow sport from. Etoile de Lyon, is extremely promising to those growers who have seen Etoile at its best; Durbin's Pride is magnificent in size, form, breadth of petal and fine color; Nellie Pockett is assured a permanent place, one of the most useful of dwarf reflexing whites. Souv. de Md. Durbin is a reflexing yellow of Morel type, but must be tried against (Joldmine and Mrs. Taggart. By the middle of the present month the fate of many a probationer variety will be sealed; the line diWding the sheep from the goats will be well defined and a select few will be added to the chrysanthemum peerage. AMONG THE GROWERS. Peter Reinberg's, Chicago. Pictures tell a story so much better than a printed description that we will allow our photograplier to present the results of a recent visit to this im- mense establishment. Under each of the pictures will be found the dates at which the plants were benched and also the date on which the protograph was taken. The carried over Liberties are doing finely. As will be noted, the pink rose Mme. Chatenay is given considerable space, as is also the new rose. Sunrise. Both take well in the Chicago market. The two Beauty houses show quite clearly the difference in growth of plants benched at different dates. POMPON CHRYSANTHEMUMS. BY JOHN N. MAT. [PreecnU^ti to ttie Chrysanthemum Society of America at the Chlcagro convention.] Tliat these little gems are steadily be- coming more popular one only need look at the gardens of every class during the late fall when nearly every other bloom- ing plant has been killed or their flow- ers at least destroyed by early frost, heavy rain storms, etc., and you can see the pompon chrysanthemum flour- ishing in all its glory; a few degrees of frost does not mar its beauty, hence it is the one bloom that everyone can enjoy when all others are past. The three or four old varieties of artemisias which our ancestors planted in their gardens, and in many sections can still be seen growing luxuriantly after half a century or more in the same position. From these have sprung the greatly im- proved forms and almost every shade of color known in the chrysanthemum today. One of the reasons that this flower is coming to the front so fast is that it is of the easiest possible culture; in fact, it might be ju.stly said that it needs no special culture what- ever. All that is necessary is to take a young, healthy plant from a 2-inch pot in May, plant it out in any position in the garden, not directly under the shade of trees. If the weather is dry give it one or two good waterings, keep the weeds clear of it till it gets a fair start. After that it will outgrow almost eveiy kind of weed. Then about all the at- tention it will require will be in Sep- tember, after the buds are set and the top becomes heavy thereby. A little support by putting three or four short stakes in around the plant and tying a piece of stout string all around it to prevent its being broken by strong winds, heavy rains, etc. With the above treatxnent a great show of flowers can be had at very little cost. But if you want to see the pompon in its best form it will well repay the lit- tle additional care necessary to obtain it. To do this select an open spot in your garden, away from the shade of any trees or vines, but protected some- NOVE.MBKB 27, 1902.

It is unnecessary to burden this pa- per with a list of the kinds, but I will mention a few as a guide: Mme. Berg- niann. Mme. Gastellier, Ctlory of Pa- cific, Polly Rose, Monrovia, Primo. Solar Queen, Lady Fitzwygram, Daydawn, Mrs. Henry Kobinson. Marion Hender- son, Jlrs. E. G. Hill, Rose Owen, Yellow Queen. The pompon varieties are all essen- tially "liurder" chrysanthemums, being hardy. .Although not requiring the same amount of care as the others, yet they are benefited by it and well repay the extra labor. NEW YORK. Trade Conditions. With the passing uf the great society event of the year, the equine exhibition. ])assed also the hazy beauty and warmth of Indian summer, and the longed for crispness of the first breath of winter is here. With the lower temperature comes higher jirices for all good flowers of every kind. The demand.? of grand opera pat- rons will make themselves felt from now on and the season may safely be said to have opened in the retail florist trade. That it will be a brilliant one is assured. It will surprise no one if before Decem- l)er the whole upper floor of the Coogan building is devoted to the interests of the wholesale florist business in many of its branches, including plants and supplies. The room is an ideal one for the pur- pose. The floor will be asphalted. The space is even larger than the whole room now used by the Philadelphia flower mar- ket, and the heating and lighting facili- ties are perfect. It is an opportunity' that should not be lost. Possibly a com- pany may be formed, or the whole may be placed in one individual's hands with sub-letting privileges. In any event its acquirement will be another step towards the utilization of this whole building in the florists' interests, including the base- ment with its bowling alleys for club meetings and recreation, a prophecy which seems to be nearing fulfillment. The retailers made their windows brilliant during the past week. Some of them were unique. Fleischman had a plaster of paris horse in pajamas in the center with floral embellishments. The orchid displays have been almost universal. It is said these were the favorite flower of society at the show and this may account for the slump in vio- lets. From $2 a 100 to 75 cents in three days was a fall that jarred the market to its center. There were oceans of them which went begging. Next sea- son the lesson will perhaps be learned and "geese will not be killed which lay the golden eggs." Hanft Bros, had the Fitch-Chataine wedding this week at the Madison Ave- nue Presbyterian church, a brilliant af- fair, in which Timothy Eaton mums were conspicuous, forty of the pews in addi- tion to the altar being decorated mth them, with broad satin ribbon and an abundance of wild smilax. At the house a canopy of lily of the valley. Brides and Harrisiis and garlands of Eaton. Bonnaffon and ^lorel mums. The bride's shower bouquet was of lily of the valley. This firm also sent a carload of designs to VduUcrs to the De Jersey funeral, in- cluding over a dozen pieces. NijVKJIBEK 1002.

A Trip to Briar ClifL Next week fuller details as to the new- house at "Briar Cliff" and those who vis- ited it on Thursday last will be given. Nearly forty visitors accepted the invi- tation of Mr. Paul M. Pierson to an out- ing up the Hudson, which was accom- panied witli perfect weather and every possible courtesy, making the day a mem- orable one for all. The visitors met at the Grand Central station at 9:30 a. m. and under the chaperonage of Mr. L. Pierson and Mr. Sefton proceeded to Scarboro, where carriages were in wait- ing, and Messrs. Paul and F. R. Pierson on hand to w-eleome us. The trip w-as at once begun to the Briar Cliff Farms, where the many greenhouses were in- spected and where the model farm of VV. W. Law, Esq., excited universal ad- miration. In the rose houses the stock was in grand condition, and a pleasant incident there was the personal welcome of Mr. Law, who made everybody feel at home. The inspection of the dairy houses with their 1,200 Jerseys occupied a delightful hour, and the processes of caring for the cows and preparing the milk and butter for market were fully explained by the competent superintendent. It may inter- est your readers to know that the butter made here sells in New York at 80 cents a pound, the cream at $1 a quart and the milk at 12 cents a quart. So much for absolute purity. The new greenhouse which everybody came to see is 55x300 and has its coun- terpart at Scarboro, described in my notes on my visit to F. R. Pierson's a few weeks ago. The curved sash bar. made of galvanized iron. V-shaped, is the interesting feature in the construction. Into the iron bar the cypress is fitted in such a way as to prevent decay. The size of glass is 24x16, and the curved panes at the eaves make danger from iee impossible. The amount saved yearlj- in the item of painting alone is from three to four hundred dollars. Not a particle of wood is in the interior of the building. The general opinion expressed by all was: "The finest house I ever saw." Both Messrs. Pierson and Sefton. the builder^, were present and gave everybody a thorough description of the construction, which further details w'ill make plain in a later issue. The visitors were given an elaborate dinner at Briar Cliff Lodge, one of the finest hotels on the Hudson. The day was voted a "red letter" one by all. A number of large growers were present from outside cities, as the list follow- ing will indicate: Ernst G. Asmus, West Hoboken, N. J.; Ellwood Brant, Madison. N. J.; S. S. Butterfield, New York; Benj. Dorrance, Dorranceton. Pa.; Eugene Dailledouze. Flatbush, N. Y. ; Mr. Doremus, Madison. N. J.; Jos. Heacock. Philadelphia, Pa.; Henry Hentz, Jr.. Madison. N. J.: J. C.

Stewart, Boston, Mass.; John H. Taylor, Bavside, N. Y. ; A. L. Tliorne, Flushing, L. I.; E. J. Tay- lor, Southport, Conn. ; C. W. Ward. Queens, L. I. Brooklyn Horticultural Society. The regular meeting of the Brooklyn Horticultural Society took place at the Germania Club, 122 Schermerhorn street, on Monday evening. The fact that just thirteen were present is no indication of an unlucky convention, although lacldng two of a quorum. The meeting resolved itself into an informal gathering and during the evening harmonious discus- sion towards the completion of all plans for the great session in February was indulged in. The next meeting will take place on Wednesday evening, December 10, and at tliat time a large attendance is request- ed. On February 18 Mr. Ward will give a lecture on his favorite subject. On Friday evening, February 20, the ban- quet will be given in the Germania Club, and a finer room for the purpose it would be hard to find. Arrangements are already completed for the accommo- dation of 300 guests at the feast, and the menu submitted met with general approval. The membership is now fifty- five and it is expected that the society will number 100 before the convention. Mr. Wallace gave some interesting reminiscences of his western visit, his impressions of the great greenhouse plants around Chicago and Joliet, and the fine business skill of James Harts- horne in securing "Fiancee," for which he predicts a great future. Brooklyn seems thoroughly alive to the honor done the city by the Carnation Society and intends to "do itself proud." Notes. The New York Florists' Club will hold its annual meeting Monday evening, De- cember 8. The election of officers will be of s]3ecial interest this season and a big crowd of members is expected. There is a new wholesale firm in town. Ridell & Co., 34 W. 29th street, close to Gunther's. Mr. Ridell was formerly with Mr. Thos. Young, and is well known by the trade and is popular. Bradshaw & Hartman's fifty cases of holl}' arrived Saturday in good condition and are going fast for Thanksgiving. Owing to the long drought south this season the outlook for first-class holly for Christmas is rather cloudy and the supply will certainly be limited. Dunne & Co. have an interesting nov- elty from Porto Rico, a few dozen pine- apple plants, every one with its ripe "apple." fully developed. They are planted in tubs and sell at $5 each. I notice the "Anna Foster" fern in all the Bon Ton windows on Fifth ave- nue and Broadway. In 7 and 8-inch pots it seems to be very popular, and the sale of the large plants has been almost universal in the leading stores of the city. Charles Millang's new conservatory has been filled and emptied a half dozen limes since its completion, with splendid and salable palms and ferns. He finds this new feature of his business very encouraging and next year will double his capacity. Bowling. The New York bowlers found the cold northeaster too wet a proposition for bowling enthusiasm and only a few ma- terialized on ilonday evening.

The Market The weather and all things consid- ered, more goods were to be expected than came in, and more customers should have been in after them. But there was enough for the demand and a few to carry over. The big football game being at New Haven, did not wake up the business on even Crimson and blue goods as much as it might and. I hardly think, as much as was expected, and prices on such goods were enlianced but little thereby. Chrysanthemums are still coming quite "freely, but it is expected that they will drop out of the market earlier this year than for a year or two past, be- cause they came in extra early. Per- haps, as of old. Thanksgiving may about clear them up this year. No tears will l>e shed. Nothing new except a little store at J2 The Weekly Florists' Review* November 27. 1902. 66 Huntington avenue, near Mechanics' building. It is a little jewel named "Imperial Florist" and managed by Feffer & Co. Prices, as given in our Boston list on another page, do not allow for the prob- able jump at Thanksgiving, which may exist a few days only, or may prove per- manent. Salesman Ed. Chamock is painfully ill with a somewhat serious stomach dif- ficulty. Is it not a peculiarity of this season that violets do not throw a more marked perfume? Most of them now throw a marked earthy smell not usually ranked as a perfume. Casey's Place. Accident brought me here, but it is 'a good place to visit. Who does not know Casey, formerly chief grower of the Perle rose for the Boston market? His greenhouses are in Melrose, on the south side of one of those rugged crags so common in that part of the world, and so hemmed in by it that expansion looks out of the question. Whatever is being done in that line is in connection with hardy material across the street, where the low land makes costly filling in necessary even for that. So much of this has just been done that work is a little behind in the houses, but a mixed growth, for local trade strictly, is com- ing on nicely. A novelty in his office consists of a quite complete collection of the beetles and butterflies of New England, and the young gentleman knows how to talk about them, too. which is also a novel idea in a florist's make-up. A flying trip to the houses of Peter Ball found them in their usual spick and span condition, but now quite off crop; while the nearby houses of "Jack" Foote are distinctly in a fine crop of carna- tions, but being built on the plan of an old feudal castle, one must be well versed in ancient history to describe them. I think the portcullis is there and am sure of the moat, because I nearly fell off the drawbridge into it. But there is not a finer looking lot of plants in the commonwealth than that same Jack Foote's. J. S. :Manter. PITTSBURG. As election day was the time of the regular monthly meeting of the Pitts- burg and Allegheny Florists' and Gar- deners' Club, it was thought well to defer the meeting until Wednesday even- ing, the 12th inst.. which was done. It was chrysanthemum night, and we had a fine show of flowers, a rousing, big meeting and a lively and interesting discussion. John N. May, of Summit, N. J., sent a lot of blooms of his newer varieties and promising unnamed seedlings; so did Nathan Smith & Son, Adrian. Mich., of theirs. Henry Eichholz, Waynes- boro, Pa., sent a big bunch of the lovely pink Berkeley, and another of a lovely solid-headed pure white flower with stiff stems and good foliage. R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons, White Marsh, Maryland, sent a big lot of named pompon varieties cut from their outdoor fields. Among our home growers the Blind Brothers brought in magnificent Golden Wedding and Timothy Eaton; Fred Burki had a sheaf of Mrs. Chamberlain in splendid form ; the Phipps Conserva- tories. Schenley Park, contributed a lot of varieties not common in cultivation. and the Pittsburg Cut P'lower Co. showed samples of the choicest stock consigned to it by its clients. A member from McDonald, Pa., brought in some well developed flowers of Indiana for identi- fication. He had 500 more of them at home, he said, and on the spot an Alle- gheny market man bought the lot. The flowers were arranged in vases on the side tables. As the meeting pro- gressed vase after vase was placed on the president's table, and if the flowers were new varieties they were taken out one by one and handed around among the members to be properly seen, handled and commented upon, and the boys were inighty snap with their opinions, too. In the case of standard varieties the con- tributors or growers had to stand up and tell all about them, how they win- tered the old stock, propagated the new, planted them and when, soil, watering, ventilating, insects, etc., and as question after question was fired at them they had to 'fess right up. A man with a secret needn't come to our meetings. And, to the credit of the boys be it said, they speak out the truth without halt or reservation. Among J. N. May's flowers were "45 G," a pink with very large broad petals, likely to be one of the largest and most distinct of exhibition sorts. "44 G," autumn- foliage colored flowers and a full round head. "57 G" has very large pale pinkish bronze flowers, flat petals, shows considerable eye, only for exhi- bition use. "49 G," brilliant crim.son, very large, open-eyed flower ; for private or exhibition purposes. "25 G," clear yellow, full reflexed. "60 M." distinct and novel, very full head of clear pink; evidently a good pot plant. "25 M." crimson-purple, silvery reverse, large, flat flower. "65 M," very full, pink. "50 M." deep wine-purple, full head, stout stem, late. In Mr. May's lot were also Queen Alexandra, a lovely, large flower, pale pink, good stem, good fo- liage; Godfrey's King, full, reddish, turning to yellow near center, and Golden Hair, dense bundles of fine, hair-like petals. In Nathan Smith & Son's lot were "26-1 -'01." yellow, tinged bronze, fine flowing blossoms. "15-8-'01," very good, dark red, spreading flowers. Providence, white tinged with pinkish and lemon, close round heads, fine stiff stems, good foliage. Pluma, white tinged with pink, dense heads, very hairy. Guy Hamilton, pure white, broad but full flowers, with curious ineurve-hooked petals. F. J. Taggart, the yellow, massive, hairy giant, the winner of the $150 premium and gold medal at the recent Kansas City flower show. If in any of the foregoing varieties I am a little off in the colors, please lay it to failing eyesight and lamplight and very little time to note them. In the Vincent collection of pompons were Little Pet, red; Anna ilaria. pink; Yellow Queen, bronzy yellow; Julia La- gravere. crimson; Fairy Queen, pale pink; Nellie Bly, pink, a little later than the others; Eosinante, small, pale pink, very double; Maid of Kent, white, but shows eye; Kanaut, pink, very dou- ble, tall-growing; Naomi, rose pink, paler in center; Mrs. Vincent, bright crimson : Fire Ball, golden bronze, shows little of eye, and Gold Nugget, small, very double. There were many more, but the other boys ran away with them be- fore I got their names. Among our home growers the system of cultivation is much the same. The old plants are wintered in flats or pots in a cool greenhouse, and the propaga- tion in spring is from the stoutest and fattest shoots. Planting on the benches is done from April till June. Soil is ordinary field loam with a fair mixture of rotted manure, and 4 to 5 inches deep' on the benches. Tlie Blind brothers use manure freely in the soil ; Fred Burki uses less in the soil than he used to, and more later on as a top dressing. The former uses no commercial fertiliz- er, either in the soil or as a top dress- ing, or as a liquid manure; the latter uses a little bone meal in the soil, but nothing else. Fred Burki likes sheep manure, but has difficulty in keeping it from heating before using. Last sum- mer, however, he got some from an eastern finn. It had been put through some process to prevent fermentation. He was doubtful of it at first, thinking it might have lost its virtue, but no, it proved all right. All feed their mums with liquid manure from the time flower buds are first seen till the blossoms begin to color. The sense of the meeting among the commercial growers was few varieties. Mr. Burki grows Bergmann, Glory of the Pacific, Merry Monarch, Marion Hender- son, Mrs. Robinson, Viviand-Morel, Maud Dean, Bonnaffon, Mrs. Chamber- Iain and Timothy Eaton. Jos. E. Bonsall, of Salem, Ohio, a visitor at the meeting, and a big grower of chrysanthemums, described his method. He winters his plants as our folks do, pots off the sprouts in early spring, then plants these out in a cold frame, then retops them, striking the cuttings in the frame, and in Juno transplants these rooted cuttings direct from the frame to the benches in the greenhouse, and he gets strong, sturdy, short-jointed, well-leaved plants, that take to their new quarters at once and go right ahead. Julius Ludwig made the boys' mouths water when he told them of some splen- did flowers he was going to bring to the meeting, but couldn't, for he had just sold them. He paid 40c apiece for them and sold them for a dollar each ! Then he told us of the vast quantities of the little pompon hardy varieties the Ger- man farmers and truck gardeners in the suburbs grow and bring in to market and sell them for a few cents a bunch, and how the rich people, more than the poor people, buy them. And still there isn't enough to supply the demand. And he urged that the farmers grow more of them, but be more choice of their varieties, holding to the pretty pinks and eschewing the dirty purples. Mr. Clark, of the Cut Flower Co., declared that selling these flowers for 5 or 10c a bunch was inexcusable, the rich people would ju.st as readily pay $5 as 2oc a bunch for the pompons if they took a fancy to them. "Yes," re- turned Julius, "that's all very well in isolated stores, where they cannot see what the next fellow has, but at a stand in the market place like mine, where everyone around me is selling for lOc a bunch, were I to charge a dollar I couldn't sell a bunch at all." Tlien up sprang John Bader to cham- pion the poor people and everyone gave rapt attention and smiled and urged him on, for John is chuck full of sound common sense and practical knowledge. He is awfully earnest, though, and speaks with his Rrms as well as his NOVKMBEK 27, 1902. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 13 voice, and he gets mad, too, if you con- tradict him. Some of our distant friends may ask: Does it pay to send tiowers to your club? Yes, 3'ou are teaching us. broadening our knowledge and helping your fellow- men. And, sub rosa, let me tell you, orders have since been sent to our con- tributors for every variety of chrysan- themum shown here; and apart from plants, telegrams were sent to Maryland for pompon cut flowers. Four new members were admitted. The next meeting will be held Tuesday even- ing. Dec. 2. and the subject for con.sider- ation, Christma.s greens, plants, flowers and materials used at Christmas. P. A. ST. LOUIS. The Market. At this writing the retail, as well as the wholesale florists are making great preparations for .supplying the Thanks- giving trade on Wednesday and Thurs- day. The past week the cut flower trade was not very encouraging for this time of the year, although the advance orders for Thanksgiving day have been very good. Outside of this, however, trade has been unquestionably dull. Although the weather up to a few days ago has been summer-like, it has been very cloudy, which has shortened stock in roses very much and they are really scarce today. The same may be said of carnations and violets. Prices have advanced 2 and 4 cents on roses, 1 and 2 cents on carnations, and violets are almost double what they were last week. Chrysanthemums are still the leading flower when good blooms can be ob- tained. The wholesalers say that good roses of all kinds are going to be scarce this week, as nearly all their shippers are off' crop. But there will be a good supply of carnations, violets, Eomans, valley, paper whites and stevia. Nearly all the stock in the market at present is of good quality and brings a fair price. Smilax, galax leaves and aspar- agus were in good demand the past week. House of Carried Over Liberties at Peter Reinberg's, Chicago. Replanted July 15. Photographed Oct. J4. The Florists' Club Meeting. The November meeting of the Flor- ists' Club, held last Thursday afternoon, was well attended and was one of the most interesting meetings of the year. Twenty members were present when President Dunford called the meeting to order at 3 o'clock, with all the offi- cers in their places except Vice Presi- dent Windier. The resolution to change the hour of the meetings from 3 to 2 p. m. was read for the second time. After the regular order of business was disposed of the members inspected the chrysan- themum blooms sent in by Nathan Smith & Son. of Adrian, Mich. They showed the following varieties: Kan- sas City Star, a light pink: Mrs. J. J. Mitchell, crimson; Ethelyn, light pink; Intensity, dark red; Mrs. F. J. Tag- gart, dark yellow; F. J. Taggart, light yellow; Edgar Sanders, bronze; H. W. i?u(kbee, large yellow; Harry Fenn, House of Bridesmaids at Peter Reinberg's, Chicago. Benched June 10. Photographed Oct. J 4. bronze; Minnie Bailey, pink, and Polar Queen, large white. The judges, John Steidle, Chas. Juengel and J. F. Am- mann, voted them all good seedlings. The visitors at the meeting were S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia and F. W. Maas, of the Plant Seed Co. The two essays which were to have been read by Messrs. Halstedt and Mohr will be read at the next meeting of the club in addition to those which were assigned for the December meeting. President Dunford called on the mem bers who visited Chicago for a few re- marks on what they saw. Mr. Jablon- .sky was called first. He read a paper about two yards long, which was very interesting and funny, and in which he told the St. Louis growers to get the moss ofif their backs and follow in the footsteps of their Chicago brothers. Otto Koenig gave a very interesting talk on what he saw of the Louisville cemeteries while on a recent visit to that place. Mr. Frank Weber was the next speak- er and talked from a retailer's stand- point, which was very interesting to the store men. Mr. .J. P. Ammann spoke on what he saw at the show and the large estab- lishments around Chicago. He also re- lated some of the funny stories told by little Foley at the banquet. J. .1. Beneke spoke on Chicago hospi- tality and wound up his remarks by asking the chair to appoint a committee of three with full power to act and in- vite the Chicago and Milwaukee flor- ists to visit St. Louis after the holi- days. The committee appointed consists of J. J. Beneke, Otto Koenig and J. F. Ammann. Mr. S. S. Skidelsky gave a few min- utes' interesting talk on the new things he has seen in carnation plants. The n;eeting then adjourned until Thursday afternoon, December 11, 1902. The Shaw Banquet The thirteenth annual banquet to gar- deners, florists and nurserymen of St. Louis and vicinity, provided for in the v/ill of Henry Shaw, was held in the Mercantile Club rooms Wednesday night, November 19.

Harrisii lilies are now arriving in large lots and the supply from now on will be regular. A nmnber of our local glowers are forcing them in large quan- tities. Fred Burki sent in his first cut of lilies last week. He is also cutting some good mignonettes. H. L. 'Blind & Bros., are devoting a liiiiisc to the growing of Christmas plants this year. Tliey have a lot of Beaouia Gloire de I/orraine specimen l)l;ints. which they expect to have in liloiuM for the ludidavs. Cbai'les Koenig can well be named the "Bulb King.'' He is forcing large quan- tities of l)ulbs this season, which he grows to perfection. The Pittsburg Rose and Carnation ( o.. at H;ikerstown. are sending soiiu very fancy Maids. Brides and carnations to the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. They also receive Bon Silenes and Cusius fiom that company. Mr. E. C. Ludwig, of the Allegheny market, reports business very good. Krnest always has a great many pretty little novelties on his stand, which at- tract the eye of the flower buyer. Breitenstein & Flemm had a unique table decoration last week, which was very appropriate for the fall season. Mammoth English hothouse grapes, Cyp- ripediums insigne and Parleyense were used, and the effect was beautiful. Notes. John Perron, general foreman of the Allegheny Park conservatories, died Jlonday evening of Bright's disease, after a year's illness. The funeral was held Thursday. One hundred and ten large cases of wild sinilax and 5,000 yards of .Jersey laurel festooning were used to dicorate the Duquesne Garden for the banquet of the Scottisii P.ite Masons last week. Mrs. E. A. Williams had this contract, and the decorations were novel and original, for which she ic c-eived many compliments. J. M. Phillips' Sons have opened a seed house at 640 Grant street and are now preparing for spring, 1903. business. E. H. Phillips will be in charge. Gustav and J. W.

At the next meeting of the Florist Ciub Tuesday evening, iX>cember 9, "Christmas Plants" will l^e the topic for discussion. An exhibition of bloom- ing plants will be made. All members are requested to bring specimen plants. HooHoo. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. Prices advanced sliarply last Friday and have been sustained since. Several large affairs requiring great quantities of flowers were followed by a heavy Thanksgiving demand. Chrysanthemums are by no means plentiful, great num- bers having been used lately. Carna- tions that were selling on the streets are now eagerly bought, and some days were actually scarce. The bulk of the demand has. however, been for roses and chrysanthemlinis. The poinsettia has made its appearance; also lilac. W. ,1. Baker is receiving some early paper white narcissus. The Flower Market. The directors have elected Samuel J. Bunting, the well known Easter plant and cut flower grower, to fill the va- cancy in their ranks which has existed since the market was organized.

Palmer, J. \V. Young. Mr. Bunting be- ing elected by the boaid will serve un- til the next annual meeting in October, when his term will expire, with those of his one year colleagues. The auction sale on Saturday morning was well attended. W. K. Harris wield- ed the hammer in a way that showed that he was master of the situation. The prices realized for the auction of stalls were A-ary satisfactory when it is considered that no one knows yet just what a choice position is worth. All the "Fifth Avenue" stalls went first, F. and H. Mergenthaler securing first choice for $16. The total ainount real- ized was $1.50..50. Florists' Supplies. H. H. Battles remarked the other day that nine-tenths of the dinner tables in Philadelphia were oval shaped, so Rob- ert Craig ordered oval shaped pans as an experiment to be filled with Lorraine liegoiiias edged with tiny asparagus. H. liayersdorfer & Co. are now making tasty birch-bark covers for these oval |ians. which promise to be a taking nov- elty. They were pretty busy in this bustling establishment, but both part- ners took a little time to chat a few mo- ments about business, and Jlr. Berkowitz showed some of the interesting things in the great warehouse. Baskets are coming this season with unusually long handles, probably to better display flow- and roses were used. J. J. Ilabermehl's Sons received one order of 800 yellow chrysanthemums from Fred Ehret on Wednesday. Ernst (i. Asmus, of West Hoboken. was in the city on Saturday. Johnson & Stokes state that the open weatliei- of the last three weeks has BUFFALO. A week of dull weather, but bright business is the record for the past week. No event of great moment has occurred, simply a general all around good de- mand, which is the healthy state of af- fairs. I always like to visit the busy emporium of W. F. Kasting and see a scramble for flowers and the place about cleaned out, and that's the state of af- fairs for some two weeks of late. When you see a place piled up with second and third class stuff you get a dull, depress- ing sensation similar to that produced by three feet of snow having broken in your roof. Brother florists agree with me that chrysanthemums have sold bet- ter this year than for the past four or five years; every quality has been in di'mand. Very good flowers have l)rought $4 per dozen, although more have been sold at $3. and we even know of one fashionable firm which charged $9 per dozen for some fairly good flow- ers. These are Thorley prices, and possi- bly Thorley accessories may account for the artistic figure. Being more in the city of late we are not doomed to miss the delightful pleas- ure of seeing visitors of the profession who stray this way. Quite recently that very bright young antipodean. Mr. McHutchison. gave us a call. If he is a fair sample of the product of that island continent of the southern seas, no won- der they are a progressive people. And thej- are nearly on top in more ways than one — in their almost ideal govern- ment: in their liberal and advanced thought; their high average of wealth distributed among all the people, far better than here; their high rate of wages, and yet cheap living gives its classes plenty of time and opportunity for social and sportive recreation, and they are a nation of sports. With his wide knowledge of the profession and business faculty I can see nothing but success for this cosmopolitan IVtr. Me. A visitor of a dilfercnt type, but also willing to sell you something was Mr. Pe- terson, of Cincinnati. He liad some splendid samples of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and Pandanus Veitehii sent on. and at the Genesee hotel invited the florists of the city to inspect them. He must have taken some good orders, for whoever saw his plants could scarcely re- sist buying. T was largely interested to bring jlr. P. and our local Royal Dane within speaking distance. There is no interest oi' pleasure in introducing Eng- lishmen or Germans or Irish or even Scotch. Poles or Italians, because with us they are on every street corner, and some of the nationalities compose whole 16 The Weekly Florists' Review. NOTTJMBBE 27, 1902. SAMUEL S.

So I steered Mr. Peterson to Eggertville, and you should have seen the mutual gladness of countrymen meeting. "lUe- go skee ratskey koo vum," which meant "glad to see you," said both of them. Mr. Peterson "had scarcely entered the door and the proprietor had not been found when Mr. P. said, looking at sucB a simple thing as some stock geraniums, lobelias and ageratums, "This man is a gardener, all right." And so it is you can tell by the simplest thing whether the man who is running the place is a gardener or an ex-barber or broken down real-estate man. It was very interesting to find out that these worthy Scandinavians had both worked in the same village and in the absence of a trolley ear had both often walked the road to Copenhagen. Sorry I can't give you more of the dialogue, but Mr. C. exclaimed with animation: "On rady thar wodo skee skew housy was goody vody drunkee," which Mr. Pe- terson afterwards told me was a house that sold good fire water, and both re- membered it. It was a most pleasant hour or two. After admiring Mr. Chris- tensen's very fine benches of carnations and a splendid bench of mignonette we parted, both of the Danes claiming de- scent from Hamlet and I declaring that Shakespeare was a Scotchman.

The first fall flower show held in this city was given last week in a large tent in a central location. The display was excellent, all the local florists being rep- resented, and several from Chicago and other points. The show was so popular with the public that on Saturday it was decided to keep it open over Sunday. A generous number of prizes were awarded. Much enthusiasm was developed and it is believed that a much larger show will be given next year. The exhibition was under the auspices of the Joliet Improvement Association, in which Mr. F. S. Allen is a leading spirit. SITUATION WANTED— By young man of 30 years aa assistant florist or helper. Good reference. Sober, honest and industrious. Ad- dress Newton, P. O. Box 403, Petoskey. Mich.

Fruitvale, has a bench of carnation Estelle that would Ik- worth a long jouincy to have a peep at. All the latest varieties are grown by Mr. Galloway, but they all look cheap com- pared with Estelle. Some weeks ago while this young gentleman was prepar- ing to throw out an old bench of Law- sous he came across a beautiful white sport growing among tlicni. 'I'lu' habit is the same, only the color is a beautiful white. What does this sport mean for Mr. Galloway? A castle on '"Xob Hill," or a castle in the air? It is to be hoped the former. Floiists' Protective Union. At a recent meeting of the San Fran- cisco Florists" Protective Union the fol- lowing oflicers were elected to hold office for one year: President. W. J. Forrest; vice-president. J. Gilroy; financial seere- taiy. J. C. Cappalman; recording secre- tary. J. Canavaris; treasurer, J. Debano; guide. C. Beverly; sergeant-at-arms, F. Peterson. Business of all kinds w'ill be laid over until after the holidays, when the union will look after the interests of its mem- bers. Ninety members are now on the lolls, and new members are coining in at each meeting. One of our San Francisco retailers threatens to discharge all his men if they join the Florists' Union, and will run his business with girls (isn't that too bad! ). How will it be if the girls form a union ? It might be well if all the retailers in San Francisco remember that they are living in a union town which is ruled by a union mavoi'. Unionism is the fad in our city at the present time, and it seems to be nothing but union, union, everywhere. Even our 'Frisco babies are members of a union; 1 mean the regu- lars. The volunteers are not in it. J X. CATALOGUES AND PRICE LISTS. Clarke Bros.. Portland, Ore., catalogue of "Fine Flowers and Floral .\rrange- ments." containing some exceedingly fine floral designs.

Everything is iifarly cleaned out in our market at the present time, and I am afraid that stock will be a trifle scarce for Thanksgiving. Most all carna- tion growers are now ofT crop, and rose growers are very much the same way. Beauties especially are scarce and, save for short-stemmed ones, there are hardly any to be had. A fair supply of medium grade Brides and Maids are in, but good stock is scarce. Carnations are very scarce, with the exception of white, which color is at present equal to the demand. Some Es- telle, though rather short-stemmed, read- ily brought $2 per 100. The price on Monday for best fancy roses was from $3 to $4 per 100. Mrs. E. T. Grave, of Richmond, is sending some fine Dorothy. They read- ily bring $3 per 100. B. P. Critchell is cutting some very good carnations at present, especially America, which rivals Estelle in color, as grown by him. There are still some line chrysanthe- mums to be had, but the supply is fast being exhausted, and Thanksgi\ing busi- ness will about wind them up. \V. Rog- ers is cutting some of the best that are to be had at present. The South Park Floral Co. sent in some specimens of their new rose, Franz Deegen. They were in fine shape and looked as if they would sell well. They are away ahead of Perle, as to size and form, when partly open showing the dark orange colored center, and are very beautiful. C. P. Dieterich was in the city buying up stock for his store at Maysville, Ky. Besides growing and retailing flowers, Mr. Dieterich does a very large nursery business. Mr. Weltz, of Wilmington, O., and James Frost, of Greenville, 0., were call- ers. C. J. Ohmer. HOLTOKE, Mass. — Con J. Millam. the popular young clerk of "Shaw the Flor- ist," has resigned his position and has accepted a position with a New York firm. Trade in general is very good. We anticipate a scarcity of mums; owing to the extremely pleasant weather, grow- ers were unable to hold them back. AuRoai, 111. — J. M. Smely has pur- chased the greenhouses and residence he has been leasing from Roscoe Saunders. The consideration was $10,000. Decatur, III. — Swan Peterson, of Gibson City, has opened a floral store in this city. ..GERANIUMS..

The last meeting of the club was a lively one, as the committee on enter- tainment had prepared a program of luu and musio which was most thor- oughly enjoyed by all, including the la- dies, ivfter which a monument dedicated to the living was unveiled and disclosed a fine layout of punch and sandwiches, the whole proving a great surprise to all. All those who visited the show at Chi- cago were loud in their praises of the fine show and also the exceeding hospi tality of the florists of that city. One of the kids who went with us "read a •dream whicli he avers was caused by the multiplicity of names which he read on the various exhibits, and we christened it "Bcmb's dream." The Dream. It was Sunset and we took the Liberty of entering the Golden Gate, and there we saw a great many American Beauties. At Sunrise we watched the Daybreak kiss tlie Morning Glory. During the night we were fortunate eno\igh to see several Meteors with tbeir Golden Glow. It was Child's play to look at the Bride and Bridesmaids, tlie friends of the Kaiserin. wlio. surrounded by the Royal Farleyense in I'ink. ^ellinv' and Wliite Ivory vases, formed a lit setting for any Perle. Nelson Fisbei. wlio tried to at- tend at Sunset a (Johleu Wedding of Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mar(|uis. the cousin of Queen Louise, brouijlit with liim Crane, Avondale, Bradt "and Cressbrook as usliers, but received tbe cold slioulder from Great Scott and liis daughter Ks- telle. The next day there was a 4 oVlock tea at Mrs. Morgan's, allcudi'd bv voung Fitzwygram. Bergmann and the old Mn^ jor BonnafTon. with his niece. Aland Dean, and as >isual the Major was a lit tie rusty. The beautiful SuMsliinc in its .\uIutiiii Glory was just tlie thing for Adonis and Lillian Pond, who live near the Gold- mine, to give a card party, at wliich young Applcton was determined to l)eat Chadwiek and Eaton for the Golden Trophy. The little lady near the bunch of Wliite Clouds was Knchantress. wait ing to see if she would lie cut out bv Apollo's Fiancee. Her two friends. Flora Hill and Ixirna, went to Norway, where their father's prosperity jiroved their ■Guardian Angel. While crossing the ocean they fell in with a few Mermaids and all these young buds were put in cold storage and fell fast asleep. Notes. The lie several retailers gave shows or openings last week, the most gorgeous of which was that of J. F. Sullivan, who has made very extensive improve mer.ts in his store, which will now with neatness and care vie with any estab- lishment east of New 'Vork. ' R.a.o. Neosho, Mo.— ,I. G. Angel has adde.l 3.000 feet of new glass and has planted it to ro.ses and carnations. Last season. from NovemlK'r to .June, 'he cut over 4.000 blooms from 100 plants of Scott ■carnation, which he thinks was prettv good. He hardly looks for such results this year as his plants are not so good. He says he might as well try to lun his greenhouses without plants as without the Review. 200,000 ROOTED CUTTINGS READY NOW Doz. Gov.

Among the many new cliiysanthe- mums there are few which will receive a warmer welcome than this most prom- ising variety. It is a sport from that grand chrysanthemum Timothy Eaton, of which it is a counterpart in every respect except color. It is a deep lemon yellow shade, the center being slightly "darker than the rest. This valuable acquisition was found among a bench of Eaton during the fall of 1901 on A. N. Pierson's place at Cromwell, Conn., and this year it has been the object of considerable at- tention. W. R. PlERSON. MoNONGAHELA, Pa. — J. A.

The ri-gular iiiontlily and aiinunl iiiwl- ing of the Riclimond Florists' Club was held at the c;ieeuhouses of Tlie E. G. Hill Co., and important business pertaining to tlie welfare of the club was trans- acted. An amendment to the by-law.s abolish- ing all fees and dues of membership, and that all expenses of the club be borne by the proprietor's of greenhouses and grecnliiiuse furnishers was carried unanimously. The annual election of officers result- ed as follows: President, Vernon ■Graves; vice president, Joseph Hill: sec- retary, H. C. Chessman; treasurer, John A. EJvans. After other routine business and talks by those having visited the various shows, the club adjourned to partake •of a verv bountiful oyster supper fur- nished by the host, after which they enjoyed themselves socially and with games until a late hour. Tlu' next meeting is to be Ireld at the Grave greenhouses, the third Mon- day in December. The club is more than pleased with the sviccess of the move to hold the meetings at the dif- ferent greenhouses in turn, as there has been a good turnout at all the meet- ings so far, which augurs well for the future. Note. Ground has been broken for another large plant on the West Side. We are informed that several acres have been purchased and that the new concern is to consist of Charles Knopf, Wm. Bachmever and Geo. Bulerdiek. H. C. Chessman. WOOD FOR FUEL.

FLORISTS* PUBLISHING CO Caxton Building CHICAGO. A TRAIN THAT DOESN'T HESITATE. An olil ciilored man eiiiployed as por- tor at a village station in Virginia, on the main line of the Southern Railway,- was industriously sweeping off the plat- form when a waiting passenger accosted him with, "Say, uncle, does the 'Wash- ington and Southwestern Limited' stop here?" "No. sah!" responded the old darkey solemnly, and as he continued sweeping he added: "No sah! the 'W'ash'n'ton an' Soufwesten Lim'fd' don't stop yerc ; hit don't eben hes'- tate." Unconsciously the old darkey ascribed to this noted train a quality which has contributed much to its success and ]K)pularity as a medium of conveyance between New York and New Orleans, Chattanooga and Nashville and points en route. A solid Pullman train, com- posed of Drawing-room sleeping cars. New York to New Orleans and New York to Nashville, via Asbeville and Chattanooga; Library and Observation ears New Y'ork to Atlanta, Club ears Washington to Atlanta, and Dining car, this superb train ot the Southern Railway leaves New York daily at 4:'25 p. m., over the tracks of the Pennsyl- vania Railroad to Washington, and then over the main line of the great Southern Railway system it whirls its passengers on with the speed of the wind to their destinations. From start to finish it doesn't "hesitate," as the old darkey so quaintly expressed it, except at the larger cities and important junctions. Only five stops are made in crossing the entire state of Virginia, four in North Carolina and two in South Carolina. Atlanta is reached inside of twenty- four hours and New Orleans at 7 :25 the second morning. This train connects at New Orleans with the Southern Pacific's magnificent "Siinset Limited" train running through solid to San Francisco, which it makes in seventy-three hours, and Los Angeles in only 'fifty-eight hours. The latter train also makes connections at both San Antonio and El Paso, Texas, with through trains for Mexico City and points en route; and at both Mobile and New Orleans the "Washington and Southwestern Limited" comiects with steamship lines for Central and South American ports. A schedule of the Southern Railway's train service on itfi gigantic system which gridirons almost the entire por- tion of the South which lies east of the Mississippi River, .shows that its man- agement, too, does not "hesitate" in its efforts to extend its service and to cater in every possible way to the convenience and comfort of the traveling public. Two other trains, the "United States Fast ]\Lail" and the"AtlantaExpress,"over the main line give connections through to New Orleans, and the "Washington and Chattanooga Limited," via Lynch- burg, makes quick time to Knoxville, Chattanooga. Memphis, Birmingham and New Orleans. In the "New Y'ork and Florida Ex- press" and the "Washington. Richmond and Florida Limited" the Southern Railway maintains a double daily ex- press train service the year round be- tween New Y'ork and Florida, running through to Jacksonville with its own locomotives, conductors and trainmen.

Growers of early varieties were in hard luck and the only remedy seems to be to grow all the early varieties out- side and reserve the more valuable in- side space for the later sorts. Prices were satisfactory enough during Novem- ber and up to the standard of previous years, and the obvious moral is, don't bother with the early kinds. Where a man retails his own flowers the case is different. He has his business sys- tematized and knows what he can sell BASKET OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS. The accompanying engraving is from a photograph of an old-fashioned handle basket with a one-sided arrangement of a variety of chrysanthemums, shading from dark bronze and salmon to the bright yellow of Col. D. Appleton, with graceful clusters of the miniature "Gol- den Chain" peeping above sprays of Asparagus plumosus. The varieties of chrysanthemums used were Geo. W. Childs, Intensity, Chito, Bentley, Golden Chain, Col. D. Appleton and a small bronze variety unknown to lis by name. This basket was entered for competi- tion at the recent Chicago flower show by John Mangel, and was awarded first prize as best basket of chrysanthemums. It w^as arranged by myself. Next week we will present pictures of baskets of roses arranged in various .stvles. L. r. Walz. which are all right if you have a market for them. In pinks I prefer to grow Lady Har- riet, Coombes, Balfour and Morel, with the new Liger as an addition. Lady Harriet will come in by the middle of October, and Jfrs. Coombes, which brought ?5 a dozen this year, will come in very shortly after. Marie Liger seems as though it would be a valuable addition to the class of commercial pinks. A. .J. Balfour is now well known and for color it is hard to heat. We have only room for one crimson and that is H. J. Jones. This variety is by no means ideal. It is a poor grower in spring and throws a mass of flowering suckers instead of good healthy cuttings, but it will bring in more than any other red to date. In yellows I select Halliday, Appleton, Mabel Morgan, Goldmine and Yellow Eaton as being the most likely to bring in profitable returns. Halliday can be cut about the 18th of October and Ap- pleton's season this year with us runs from the 20th of October to November CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Commercial Varieties and Culture. The season just passing can hardly be considered a veiy favorable one to the grower financially, the chief reason for this being the extremely fine weather that prevailed all the fall, and which permitted the gathering of dahlias and such like stock in the open garden even up to the first of November in many sections. The fine weather was also the means of keeping the flower buyers out at their country homes enjoying the scenery', Avhen by all established prece- dent they should have returned to the tity and commenced using up the green- house product. It is useless also at- tempting to deny the fact that there is ■considerable ovei-production of the me- dium to small grades, and these being thrown on the market in immense quan- tities find their outlet among the street dealers, and wherever one turns during October one sees only mums and more mums; and people who do not mind pay- ing a fair price for good flowers, soon get weary of them, and look around for something else that is hardly so common. The man that does not need to get his living growing mums will tell you that the chrysanthemum is "the poor man's flower. It can be easily grown and re- quires no heat, and since it can be bought on the street so cheaply it goes into many houses where other flowers do not, carrying with it an increasing love for the beautiful and inculcating elevating thoughts and ideas into the hearts and minds of our poorer citizens." It sounds all right. The mum is the poor man's flower all right enough, or at least it •will keep a man poor that grows it for tlie wholesale market, but it seems to me that the cost of elevating our fellow- man to an appreciation of the beautiful could be more easily borne by the Stand- ard Oil Company or some other wealthy Basket of Chrysanthemums. and grows accordingly, but there are many growers not so favored. ^^ In selecting varieties to grow for rie^t year my choice is as follows: Whites — Alice Byron, Mrs. Robinson, Eaton and Chadwick. These are all good and flower in the order named. Byron by the mid- dle of October, and Chadwick can be kept till Thanksgiving. Of course there are many others and for those who are looking "for early whites there are the white sports of Glory of the Pacific, 20th, so that it can be classed as mid- season and late. Mabel Morgan and Yel- low Eaton were both referred to in these colunms very recently, so there is no need to say more about them, and Goldmine in many sections is proving very valua- ble. It will be noticed that I do not men- tion any of the extra early varieties and the condition of the market this year was such that no one could conscien- tiously recommend them. Another year 44 The Weekly Florists' Review. December 4, 1902. things may be dififerent, though I don't know. Of course there is always a mar- ket either early or late for flowers of an exhibition grade, but such flowers are seldom produced by the purely commer- cial grower. I believe that if more of our growers kept a strict account of the expense attending the raising of every crop and the profits arising from the sale of the same that fewer mums would be grown. Some men that I know grow mums just because they provide a little ready cash to buy the winter's coal for the other stock. Every man works out his own salvation in his own way and aa this is a free country every man is given that privilege. Care of Stock. It is a gieat mistake to throw the stock plants under the bench and leave them there for a month or two until room is found somewhere or other. Such a, process is very weakening to the con- stitution of your future stock. Either put your plants into a box and set them at the cold end of a house somewhere, or take some of the finest cuttings and root them right away and use them for stock plants in the spring. The way things are run at most establishments, possibly the best way, is to retain the old plants, though such is not our prac- tice. Brian Bobu. ROSES. Seasonable Hints. The selection of wood for propagating tea roses and their hybrids is a duty that should never be entrusted to any but the most experienced and critical. The proper method of making a cutting can easily be acquired by the ordinary help after a few lessons, but it requires the practical and discriminating eye of the grower to pick out the wood that is suitable and of the proper condition of ripeness for this purpose, and the care exercised in selection will be amply re- paid by the superior and uniform grade of the stock produced. The continual forcing year after year having a tendency to weaken the vital- ity of stock must be overcome as much as possible by perpetuating nothing but the best wood from the most vigorous growing plants. Some authorities have advocated that in order to preserve the vitality and vigor of stock, flower stems only should be used; but after many years' experimenting with flower stems and strong blind wood side by side the difference was so infinitesimal as to be hardly perceptible, with all the difference in favor of the blind wood cutting in point of cost. By using flower stems at that season the loss in cut blooms would be such that few growers would care to experiment along such expensive lines. The wood which grows high upon the plant and which is exposed to free air and sunshine is preferable to that which is lower or hidden in the heart of the bush, and should be in such a condition of ripeness that it cannot be bruised by pinching; the leaves should all be per- fect and of a rich green color: all plants with foliage the least off color should be avoided; although cuttings from such will root readily enough they never at- tain as plants that robustness and vigor so essential in ideal stock. As soon as the wood is cut the stems should be immersed in water, and the leaves sprinkled to keep thent fresh and crisp until they are put in the sand. Al- lowing the wood to stand too long in water is very detrimental to the health of the cuttings, giving them what is called "the water heart," which weakens the eyes and materially prolongs the pe- riod of root formation. There are many different opinions re- garding the best style of cutting, some favoring one eye and others two and three eyes. I do not think there is much choice between the styles in point of merit, the after treatment of the cutting being of much more importance. With such varieties as Meteor and Liberty, where canes from the bottom are de- sirable, a three-eyed cutting ought to be the best. This gives two eyes above the sand and one at the base of the cutting, ■which invariably sends up a strong stem even in 2-inch pots. A well sharpened knife is indispensable so that a short clean cut can be made, as the smaller and cleaner the cut so liuch quicker will the callous form, and the arrangement of the rootlets be the more perfect. The cuttings should be inserted in the sand without delay and at an equal depth of about one and a half inches, and the sand pressed firmly around them, thoroughly watered, and shaded if neces- sary. Tlie leaves should be kept moist- ened twice a day during bright weather, but never syringed so late in the day that they will not dry before sundown. With proper regulation of tempera- ture, care in watering, shading and syr- inging, they will be ready for potting in about thirty days. Ribes. TROUBLE WITH PERLE. Wliat causes Perle roses to drop their buds when just about formed? It seems to be a sort of rot. Or is it caused by a biting insect which after bruising the shoot causes the bud to drop off. I have several varieties in the same house, but only the Perle is affected, and this is the third .season I have had this trouble with this variety. J. F. A. With more data such as the quality of compost, drainage, frequency of liquid feeding, etc., I would have been able to give a more definite reply. Conditions like this are usually the result of overfeeding, either by having too much, manure in the compost, or too frequent use of liquid food when the bench is in an unfit condition, or from imperfect drainage, and frequently from both combined. Several cases similar to this have come under my observation, but none of them after careful investigation could be traced to insect depredations. Abstinence from liquid feeding, care in watering during the short days, ac- companied by free ventilation, should in a short time effect a cure. Tlie night temperature in such a case should be 60 degrees, rising to 75 de- grees during sunshine. Ribes. HYBRIDIZING CHRYSANTHEMUMS. BY ELMER D. SMITH. [Presented to the Chryaanthemum Society of America at the Chicago convention.] Before entering into the details of this subject, let us consider some of the nat- ural conditions which have more or less influence upon our results. Dame Na- ture says the chrysanthemum shall be single and reproduce itself from seed; so in producing these marvelous flowers, with almost countless petals, we are working in direct opposition to her laws. In some of our improved varieties, we are prevented from making further im- provements, owing to the pistils or styles being abortive; and in other varieties the staminate florets provide little or no pollen. As you are aware, hybrids result from the crossing of species; and as this has not been attempted to any extent with chrysanthemums, it seems wise to confine ourselves to cross-fertilization. In cross-fertilization, the operator's desire is to improve the chief character- istics, such as color, size, form and full- ness. It is beyond human power to state exact results in uniting or mixing the colors of petals. Pollen from a white flower applied to a red may give red, white, or any of the intermediate shades, which would be the many varieties of pink. Mrs. Alpheus Hardy, white, and E. Molyneaux, red, gave Lkdy Playfair, pink. The union of red and yellow gives similar results — producing red, yellow and all the intermediate shades of brown and tan. We have more assurance when varieties of the same color are crossed. Improvements in color can only be at- tained by the union of colors, bearing in mind the laws of nature in making these unions. The chrysanthemum, like the carna- tion, has a great tendency to revert to its antecedents. Hence it is we get many strange colors when two of the same color are crossed. The variety Mrs. J. J. Glessner came from Edward Hatch and Mrs. Jerome Jones, both of which are white or nearly so. This seedling partook of the parentage of Edward Hatch, which was Gloriosum X Ada Spaulding. Form, size and fullness are improved only by careful consideration of these qualifications in the varieties at our dis- posal. We are more certain of advance- ment in the style of growth, securing those which are dwarf and sturdy by confining our operations to such varieties as possess these qualities. Large and small foliage can be produced by using those which have these peculiarities. What governs the potency of the pistilate and staminate parent, we cannot deter- mine. We are dealing with minute af- fairs. The stigma may scarcely have reached maturity when the pollen is ap- plied— or the pollen may be past its prime, with the stigma at the height of development. These varied conditions may have their influence upon establish- ing the character of the seedling. In selecting varieties for this work, the two great classes for consideration are those for exhibition and those for the commercial grower. In the former, size is the most important factor, if the other qualifications are up to the aver- age. 'The commercial grower requires staple colors, and the purer the color the better. Size, form, fullness and style of growth are important and should be taken into consideration. Plants intended for seed raising should be staged in a dry, light house, and ex- cessive moisture at the roots or in the atmosphere should be avoided. June and July struck cuttings grown to single stems in 4-inch pots are the most con- venient. Such flowers, if given but little feed, are more natural, furnish an abund- ance of pollen and are easier to trim than the massive exhibition blooms. The operation begins when the flowers are half open, by cutting the petals off close to the base with a pair of scissors until the styles are exposed. When the styles are fully grown, the upper surface or stigma is in condition to receive the pollen. Select the desired flower for pol- len, push aside the ray florets or petals December 4, 1902. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 45 R. E. Richardson, Pink, H. W. Buckbee, YeUow. Two New Chrysanthemums Shown'at the Chicago Exhibition. until the disc florets are in view; these produce the pollen which may be collect- ed on a camel's-hair pencil or a tooth- pick, and then applied to the stigma of the flower previously prepared. If a toothpick is used, never use it for more than one kind of pollen. By allowing the camel's-hair pencil to stand in an open- mouthed vial of alcohol, a few moments after using, it may, when dry, be used upon another variety without fear of the pollen of the former operation affecting the present. PoUenizing should be done on bright, sunny days as far as possible. In wet weather, a dry, warm house can be util- ized, and the work continued each day, provided sufficient pollen is at hand. On bright days, pollen is generally very abundant, and may be collected, stored in vials and labeled ready for use. If kept perfectly dry, this pollen will re- tain its vitality throughout the chrysan- themum season. After fertilization, give the plants only suflScicnt water to keep them from wilt- ing. Always keep a record of the work, showing the parents of the seedlings. It will afford you pleasure to know how a meritorious variety was produced, and may suggest possibilities along other lines. Seeds ripen in five to six weeks. Those fertilized early in the season give the greatest number of seeds, doubtless due to the weather being more favorable at that time. Do not anticipate super- abundance of seed. The crosses which give but a few seeds generally produce the best seedlings. Hand pollenized seeds are of more value than those naturally fertilized. It at least seems rational to expect more from seed secured by the union of our best kinds than from that produced by the wind without intent — or the bee, whose only object is to secure his daily sustenance. If this be true, our results depend upon the degree of intelligence employed in the selection of parents, and the thoroughness with which every detail is attended to. CARNATION NOTES— EAST. I CANNOT do without the Review. — W. J. Miller, Delevan, Wis. Xmas Outlook. The warm weather of November has somewhat upset our calculations on the supply of blooms for Christmas. How- ever, those varieties which are nat- urally late show prospects of furnishing a larger supply than anticipated. Every grower will naturally give close attention to every detail necessary to bring out the largest possible amount of bloom at that time. I do not advise any rise of temperature any more than the lowering of it. On the one hand, you may get a few more blooms at the expense of quality and damage to plants, on the other a few forward ones may be held back, vrith the result of split calyxes later. Every grower, of course, knows the conditions and requirements of his par- ticular trade; but my expetience has been that it is not good policy to cut closely at any time. After the holi- days there is usually a scarcity of flowers, but by no means is there no de- mand. For this reason it is not best to cut everything in sight; besides, the Christmas price can be held for some time afterwards, resulting in no loss financially, at the same time keeping your plants healthy, they having had no severe cheek as is often the case with heavy cutting or forcing. Salting. In view of the fuel question, which affects all lines of trade, this year's holiday trade will necessitate some close figuring on the part of carnation grow- ers. I venture to say that it will be a supreme test of the so-called salting process. The flower-buying public are becoming more critical each year ; this season they will be pretty careful to put their money on the winning horse, "Quality." It is useless for me to go into the details of salting, as you have all read rnore_ or less about it in past years, and in view of the fact that it is said the practice is decreasing, the less said the better. I will close the subject with reference to a catching ad borrowed from Mother Goose Melodies, and which I have used with success : The Three Grades. "Carnations fresh, carnations old Carnations in the water nine days old." Try some fresh ones. (Pat. not applied for.) Geo. S. Osborn. CARNATION NOTES-WEST. One of the troubles that is almost sure to strike you in a mild form or other- wise in the near future is the bursting of the calyxes on some of your varie- ties of carnations, and you should be very careful right along to avoid the conditions that cause this trouble. While the weather is bright, there is usually very little calyx splitting, but at this time of the year we are very apt to have an occasional dark and wet spell of weather, and during these is when the trouble most often breaks out. You should always have your carnations in such condition that you can control them at will in case of cloudy or sunny weather, and it sometimes takes a pretty level head to keep things as they should be. A bad case of overwatering during dark weather will cause splitting. A too severe drying out at the roots during a bright spell will also cause splitting, so you see you always want to keep a happy medium, so that in case a cloudy spell sets in you can soon have your soil on the dry side by withholding the water, and in case of a warm, bright day you can by giving one good water- ing have your plants well supplied with the extra water they need on such a day. There is perhaps no plant that we grow that demands more regularity and uniformity in conditions than the car- nation. The same may be said in re- gard to the food you give them. A too strong dose of food will cause splitting, while a severe case of starving will bring about the same result, so watch your plants carefully and give them what they need and no more. 46 The Weekly Florists^ Review^ December 4, 1902. The most frequent cause of splitting is an uneven temperature in the carna- tion houses, and it is the least excusable of the lot. Sometimes it may be a lit- tle unpleasant or inconvenient to get up steam for a few hours, and you think that a low temperature for a few hours will do no harm, as the plants seem to grow right along; or perhaps you are busy and can't look after the fire regularly, etc. There are many ex- cuses to be found for such a condition of things, but none of them will justify the act. A temperature of 85 degrees during the day and 50 degrees at night will surely bring on a case of splitting, so watch your ventilators during the day; 60 to 70 degrees during the day is about right. Robbing the plants of too many cuttings at one time will often bring on the same trouble, with some varieties quicker than others, and you should bear this in mind when you take your cuttings. If you take only the cuttings from the flower stems you will seldom cause splitting. You will iind in almost every case of .splitting that it came about through a check of one kind or another, and to avoid giving your plants a check is to prevent calyx splitting, if nothing worse. Sonic (if our most valuable varieties will split as soon as something is not just right, and it pays us well to study the wants of each variety and grow it ac- cordingly. The first year Mrs. Lawson was out most of us kept it at 50 de- grees to begin ^vith, but soon we found that that was too cool, because nearly every calyx would split in that tempera- ture during the winter, and the tempera- ture was raised until most of us now grow it at 54 to 56 degrees, and only a few calyxes split for us now. Ethel Crocker had the same experience, and so did Flora Hill a few years ago. A. F. J. Baur. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Christmas Plant Baskets. I spoke last week of some combina- tions of plants for filling baskets of va- rious sizes for Christmas sales. These baskets are of necessity quite low, but always with a handle, which gives a chance for some ribbon decoration. For some years I was inclined to think that only in the very largest cities were these baskets of plants salable, for they arc expensive and cannot be very last- ing, as proper care in watering can- not he given. Their durability is, how- ever, not worth the florist troubling him- self about. They are never, or hardly ever, purchased by the person to whose home they are going. They are l)eautiful ; they appeal to the eye and the sense of beautj', and it occurs to the person with the congested purse who usually buys them (and it is because the in- spiration moves them with that delight- ful thought), "How that pretty basket would delight IMrs. So and So." In considering any scruples that may arise about their artificial arrangement or fleeting time of beauty, you have only to remember that they will out- last a vase of roses or any other flow- ers, and the customer gets a larger show for his money. In making up these baskets be sure that the ball of earth of each plant is thoroughly moist before it is put in. Wrap the ball of each plant in oiled paper, which will keep the earth moist for several days longer than it otherwise would. Then there is no occasion to have the sphagnum moss more than just moist in which you plunge the plants. Another plan, and this applies more to baskets filled -with one kind of plant, is to fill the tin dish that lines the basket with earth, and put the plants in as you would in filling a fern dish. With care- ful watering this gives the plants a chance to exist far longer than when wrapped in oiled paper and plunged in moss, but it makes the basket very heavy and there is not much gained. Tliei-e is a chance to make many combinations, and it is no easy task to attempt to tell you just what plants will make an efl'ective and pretty com- bination. The plants that you have at your command for this purpose at this season are by no means few. We have lieforo us the small orange trees, aza- leas, poinsettias, Begonia Gloire de Ijorraine, Lilium Harrisii, cyclamen, primulas, ericas (familiarly called lieather), narcissus (yellow and white), Koman hyacinths, lily of the valley. There may be a few others that 1 aui not yet familiar with. The ber- ried plants, ardisia and the solanum can be classed with lloweiing plants because they are high colored. Flowering plants are by no means all that go to make these baskets hand- some and 'attractive, for what would not the flower lose but for its natural set- ting of green. However brilliant and striking a mass of high color may be at first sight, the eye and senses soon tire of what is unnatural. Most of the plants we use have enough of their own foliage to afford a relief to their bright- er flowers, yet the addition of foliage plants is of the greatest help in form- ing a pleasing and chaste combination, and here again we have a large field to select from. That ancient family, the ferns, gives us the nephrolepis, adi- antums (of which the cuneatum is al- most indispensable), Cibotium Schiedii, Cyrtomium falcatum, pteris of several species, and many small ferns such as we use in our small fern dishes. Small palms, particularly Kentia Belmore- ana and Forsteriana. Areca lutescens, Cocos Weddeliana, Araucaria excelsa, Pandanus Veitchii. The latter in small sizes (from 12 to 18 inches high) mil add a style to a basket more than any other plant I know of. Let me digress just a moment, Mr. Editor, and mention a plant that is, I believe, not yet in commerce, but soon must be, and that is Pandanus Sanderi. This beautiful plant would be at a casual glance passed over as simply a well-colored P. Veitchii, but it is very ditlerent. There is a rich golden tinge about it that Veitchii does not possess, and when it can be bought by the com- mercial florist it will quickly displace the latter. A group of it at the Madi- son Square Garden, exhibited, of course, by Henry A. Dreer, attracted every one's attention. Another point greatly in fsivor of this beautiful plant is that it is not so liable to collapse under changes of temperature, or an excess of moisture as Veitchii, for good house plant as is the latter, it will, after months of good health and growth, sud- denly dissolve. You may properly call it "heart failure." In fact Sanderi is a tougher plant. You will wonder why I am so well posted on this plant, being 436A miles from its habitat. It's be- cause I have kept myself posted on it. "But to our tale," as Burns says in Tam o' Shanter. It's difficult to tell you what plants will make an at- tractive combination. You will not have all the plants mentioned at your command, but you will have enough to make some pleasing baskets. White goes with any color, and so does green. Pinlv and red together will suit the taste of few. Colors of the flowers of one genus rarely are at variance, and alwiiys please. Wliile brilliancy of color where one kind of plant is used will be attractive and natural, in the mixed baskets use plenty of green foliage to distract from the varied forms and colors of widely dilTerent species, and avoid stitTness in outline and crowding. Tliere are many people who will prefer a basket composed of one kind of plant, but not necessarily of one color. Tlie primulas, cyclamen, begonia and poin- settia are all most attractive massed alone. Kow about the ribbons, quite an im- portant part of these baskets. I am not especially a ribbon man, and inwardly protested against the over-profuse use of ribbon, which reached its climax a few years ago. A well-flowered azalea (let it be any variety) as a single plant cannot be enhanced in beauty by a lot of millinery. To cover the pot with pretty paper and ribbon is entirely ad- missible, and does not mar the beauty of the plant. With these baskets the case is entirely different. Had they not a handle they would look like a dinner table plateau and would never sell, and it is on the handle that the ribbon dec- oration is not only admissible but ap- propriate and even necessary. Tied with a liberal bow on top or side of handle, with its flowing ends mingling with the plants, is in this case as nec- essary as the moulding at the ceiling or the border in a papered room. Com- mon sense will dictate the color of the ribbon. If on a mixed basket green or white alone are possible. If one color, such as poinsettia or begonia "Lor- raine," then a shade identical with the color of the flowers is the thing. Noth- ing will be so pleasing as to decorate with ribbon as near as possible the shade of the flower. Wiluam Scott. CHRYSANTHEMUMS IN THE SOUTH. In a paper presented to the Chrysan- themum Society of America at the recent Chicago convention, Mr. F. P. Davis, of Mobile, Ala., says the modern chrysan- themum is yet a novelty in many parts of the extreme south. He says that few of the excellent varieties can expand December 4, 1902. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 47 Panel Arranged by the Butte Floral Co., Butte, Mont, for a Recent Funeral. their flowers under the influence of a tropic sun and that the controlling of the heat rather than the cold is the prob- lem that confronts the southern grower. A robust variety that grows quickly from late planting is best, and in no variety is this quality so prominent as in the old Golden Gate. A fnst-elass flower cannot be grown without the protection of glass, or some sort of covering, as it must be guarded from rain and wind. Solid beds are bet- ter than benches, as they do not dry out SO fast, and it is better to risk keeping them a little on the dry side as protec- tion against mealy bug. Of course per- fect drainage must be given, for which coarse gravel has been used with best results. No wood should be used about the beds, as they invite the destructive wood lice. He advises southern growers to shun commercial fertilizers and prefers rotted cow manure and a light dusting of bone meal in the compost, and then trusts to ample nourishment at floweiing time from copious waterings. To combat the wood lice he sprays weak kerosene emulsion on the under side of the foliage; this pest (peculiar to the cotton growing states ) being simi- lar in habits to the red spider. The body is about the size of a fat black aphis, in color a dirty gray, and the wings stand out so as to give it the ap- pearance of a woolly sheep. While the touch of kerosense is certain death to this insect, he has never known a house of plants to amount to much after it haS once made a showing. 48 The Weekly Florists' Review. Decembbe 4, 1902. WINTERING BOX TREES. I have about a dozen boxwood trees in tubs that were stored in a green- house last winter and became badly in- fested with red spider. Would it do to plunge them outdoors, covering the roots with strawy manure and this with pine boughs? Have no suitable cellar, and thermometer goes to 20 degrees be- low zero here. A. S. C. New Hampshire. The Tree Box is quite hardy in cli- mates where the temperature does not go below 10 Fahrenheit, and that only occasionally. It should be cool in the winter months; still a greenhouse where the night temperature was about 40 to 45 would winter it very well, and there would be no occasion for red spider, be- cause hand spraying once or twice a week would keep them down. A green- house is too valuable space to be occu- pied witli box trees, sweet bays and the like, and if I had no building adapted to their winter care I should look around to see if I could not find a barn in the neighborhood that did not get too cold. Incidentally I must mention that two years ago I advised a wealthy cus- tomer to keep his sweet bays in his coach house adjoining his stable, which he did, and they wintered finely. If no such place is available, then with a little labor you can winter the box trees out of doors. Dig a trench in a dry spot a few inches wider than the tubs or pots and deep enough to let the tops of the tubs be a little below surface of ground. Fill in with dry stable litter or leaves be- tween the tubs, which should be as close together as tops will allow. Then on each side with 1-inch boards build a wall a few inches away from the trees. Some clean, dry straw loosely pushed down among the trees will help, and a good lot of hemlock boughs thrown up against the outside of the boards will help to keep it warm. Don't cover the top of this primitive structure until very cold weather sets in, and then it can be hemlock boughs. Wlien you put them in this trench, see that the soil in the tubs is moist or give them a good watering. They will stand the low temperature better if the roots are moist than if dry. WiLUAM Scott. FORCING SPIRAEA. About this time the imported clumps of spiraa will begin to be distributed among the growers, and the treatment given them after their unpacking is re- sponsible for a good deal of the success or failure in forcing. As soon as unpacked those that are required for early use should be potted »nd placed either in a frame, where the temperature can be maintained at about 56 degrees, or put under a light, airy bench in a house run at that tempera- ture until root action is well started, when they should be placed on a bench where they can have full sunshine and free ventilation with a night tempera- ture of 60 degrees, which can gradually be raised to 65 degrees if the flowers are wanted early. To keep up a succession of blooms a fresh batch should be potted every two weeks. With clumps from cold storage a succession of bloom can be had throughout the year. As Easter falls on April 12, 1903, I the clumps required at that season should be potted the last week of Janu- ary, as they require about ten weeks in a temperature of 60 degrees to fully develop. By growing them along stead- ily at this temperature they develop bet- ter flowers and have more luxuriant foli- age than if they are heavily forced or too much retarded. The one great requisite in forcing spiraea successfully is to see that they never on any occasion suffer for want of water, as this is fatal. They are also very impatient of the fumes of tobacco, and should either be grown in a house that requires no fumigating or removed from it during that operation. Whilst revelling in an abundance of fresh air, they do not relish a draught and if frequently exposed to it the leaves will get rusty, which effectually spoils the appearance of the plants and detracts very much from their value. They succeed well in a compost of three parts fibry loam and one part well decomposed manure, with a sprinkling of sand to keep it porous and sweet. When the flower stems begin to ap- pear they can use with advantage a soaking of manure water once a week. The varieties most suited for forcing are Astilboides floribunda, Japonica floribunda, Japonica compacta multiflora and some of the new varieties, such as Gladstone, which when well handled makes a magnificent specimen. To successfully store the imported clumps they should be buried in a dry situation and covered with either ashes or sand and should be moistened before being covered. Rises. NEW YORK. Trade Conditions. The week opened with bright, clear, freezing weather. It was 31 J degrees Monday. Everybody looks happier since Thanksgiving and both wholesalers and retailers have much to be thankful for. The prices realized for fancy stock were exceptional for so early in the season. Some grand Maids and Brides touched 20 cents. Beauties are ambitious enough to demand $7 per dozen, and some special violets, in bunches of 100, actually refused to budge for less than $3 per bunch, but such values were few and far between. Still the trend of prices is now upward, and there is little danger of any recessions until after the holidays. The cnrysanthemum has realized that its days are over. A few of the late varieties still grace the windows of the retailers, but there is a general willing- ness to "speed the parting guest." The orchid maintains its place at the head of the procession. It still seems to be society's favorite at the opera; though now that the violet is disappearing from the street merchant's display, and its value has become prohibitive for general use, immense bunches may again grace the corsages of the "400." Items. Next Friday sees the folding of the auction tents for the season. Mr. Elli- ott says it has been a "strenuous year" with values low and enthusiasm stag- nant. Still in the aggregate it com- pares favorably with other years, and doubtless when the robins nest again business will go on as usual at the old stand. John A. Scollay, of Brooklyn, is very busy these days with a force of fifty placing his boilers in the ranges of A. Whiting at Hartford, Conn.;' and H. C Williams, of East Hartford. He reports one of the best fall seasons in the his- tory of the house. Hicks & Crawbuck find their de- parture from the beaten track and their enterprise in establishing wholesale stores in both cities is bearing fruit. They have some great Bride and Maid growers on their list, some specials of these varieties actually bringing as high as 20 cents for Thanksgiving. Reidel & Co., the latest arrivals in the ranks of the wholesalers, have a neat store fitted up for staying pur- poses and very convenient. They make, as a special feature of their "good in- tentions," the promise of a "strictly wholesale business." Mr. Gunther, the violet specialist, has completed improvements that give him one of the best and most commo- dious stores in the district. He is evi- dently ready for a repetition of the times when he sold over 200,000 violets in a day, and he "expects to do it again." Jlr. Saltford, on the same street, whose book on "How to Grow Violets" has given him much creditable notoriety, re- ports a fine Thanksgiving and a steady rise in violet values. His best stock brought $2 per 100 easily. He has many of the best Duchess county grow- ers in bis "repertoire." Charles Millang will soon be dispens- ing lilies, but just now he is developing great ability as a "plantsman," his sales of plants from his new conserva- tory far exceeding his expectations. Alex. Guttman's record price of 75 cents each for Maids and Brides last Easter has not been excelled, but some stock from the same grower last week easily brought 15 cents, and the stock was superb. Moore, Hentz & Nash "cannot get enough Queen of Edgley," they say, and the price for specials crowds the Beauty hard. A lot of 250 fine ones sold for $100 la.st week, and 50 cents each was the price in smaller quanti- ties. This firm has been one of the most persistent in "shaking up" the express companies for exorbitant shipping rates, especially the Essex division of the D. L. & W. These railways have been making a wonderful show of generosity in the raising of the wages of their employes, and have quietly evened up matters by adding to their shipping rates more than enough to cover all their apparent liberality. The flor- ists have, however, found a remedy in the use of the corrugated paper boxes manufactured by the Sefton Co., of Chi- cago, and the extreme lightness of these and the strength which enables them to be taken apart, packed in bulk and used over and over again, has surely cir- cumvented the R. R. and "put the shoe on the other foot" with a vengeance. Ernst Asmus is away on his annual hunting trip and the moose will again have to suffer. Don't see any more room in his residence for "trophies." Guess he must intend to decorate that new 300-foot U bar greenhouse at "Asmus- iana" with them. J. F. McConnell is kept hustling now- adays at the "Exchange" with Louis A. Noe's fine 12cent Maids and Brides. He says he does not handle anything but "extras." December 4, 1902. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 49 Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Weber, St. Louis, on the 25th Anniversary of their Marriage. B. Slinn, Jr., in the Coogan building, is headquarters just now for sweet peas, his supply going to the big stores on Broadway. Upstairs in this building Frank Mil- lang, Chas. Smith, Bonnet Bros, and W. H. Siebrecht form a quartette of hustlers that find it profitable to cater to the trade from 6 to 6 daily. The market is growing in interest and numbers constantly. There will have to be accommodations for the over- flow before long. The whole upper floor of the Coogan establishment is "in the market," and some enterprising optimist will find its lease a profitable venture. Reed & Keller, Hermann, Geller and Kreshover are up to their eyes in busi- ness. The demand for Christmas goods is phenomenal. There is a great de- mand for Reed & Keller's new torchere palm stands for decorations. J. K. Allen's Thanksgiving trade was above the average of years. The "Pio- neer" is in robust health and the "turkey and cider" seems to have "touched the spot." John Foley, at Bradshaw & Hartman's had a narrow escape from pneumonia last week, but is "on deck" again. The carnation exhibition at John Young's would make the Madison Square show "turn green with en\-y." His grow- ers are among the best in the land, and not a fancy variety but can be found here every day. The club meeting next Monday prom- ises to be "lively." It will be held at 128 K Twenty-eighth street, as usual, and a large attendance is assured. Small had two important decorations last week. The Saxe wedding, at the Waldorf-Astoria, where the whole floor of the hotel was decorated, including the grand ball room, the west and east foyer and the Astor gallery. And on Thanks- giving the Strauss-Abrahams wedding, an event of great importance in the high- est Jewish circles, and in both events the best kind of floral and artistic work was accomplished under the able man- agement of Arthur Merritt. Mr. J. Purdy has purchased the whole- sale business of M. Hart, of 48 West Thirtieth street, and has associated his brother with him, the new firm to be known as Purdy Bros. It is possible Mr. Hart may try his hand at the retail business. Mrs. McXeice is probably the only lady wholesale florist in this country. Her daughter is associated with her, and their store at 42 West Twenty-seventh street is devoted to "novelties," and is New York's headquarters for orange blossoms, camellias, forget-me-nots, white and single violets, acacias, etc. They have as fine a grade of single violets as can be found anywhere, and are pre- paring for a large Christmas demand. If you don't know, or can't find what you want in the novelty line of floricul- ture, ask Mrs. McNeice about it. If she can't find it, it isn't! C. H. Joosten will have a fine imported stock of holly trees, standard box and evergreens for the holidays. They ar- rived by steamer Monday after a tem- pestuous voyage. A rumor says that a bachelor horticul- turist of national repute contemplates an "important change" in the near fu- ture. But there are so many "bachelors" between Twenty-eighth street and the Battery who ought not to be, it's hard figuring out which one has been "con- verted." Perhaps Mr. Elliott can tell us. The retiring president of the Florists' Club. Mr. Sheridan, has made a splendid presiding olBcer and joins the "rank and file" with "honors thick upon him." His record endears him to his associates. His successor will have to "keep awake." Traendly & Sehenck were the fortunate possessors of those fancy, 100 in a bunch, $3 violets. They were as fine as ever i-eached the New York market. Ed. Horan looks very cozy in his new store, and is "quite comfortable" again. John Raynor finds the demand for "Peter Crowe" quite beyond the supply and the popularity of our fat friend in Utica and his namesake grow con- tinuously. The Flatbush boys had their annual turkey bowling night last Thursday. As a consequence there were turkey dinners at the Dailledouze's, Zeller's and Sie- brecht's, and the "also rans" were obliged to partake of "crow," though the vic- tors did not crow unduly over their suc- cess. There is always "something doing" at the Platbush bowling club on Thurs- day evenings. The New York club's "start" has had many obstacles thrown in its way, but it is not a "quitter" and with associate membership, the return of the "coun- try contingent" and a few such scores as those of last Monday evening the old time enthusiasm will soon materialize. J. Austin Shaw. MR. AND MRS. F. C. 'WEBER. Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Weber, St. Louis, recently celebrated their silver wedding, and as a memento of the occasion had the protograph taken from which the accompanying engraving was made. All in the trade who have met the genial Mr. Wleber and his charming wife — and they are many — will join with us in extending hearty congratulations and in asking early invitations to the golden wedding that all feel sure will follow in due time.

Edwin Lonsdale. 50 The Weekly Florists' Review. Decembeb 4, 1902. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. Flowers were extremely scarce Thanks- giving and have become even scarcer since then. Prices have been steadily advancing and today some flowers are bringing more money than ever before during first week of December. Thanks- giving day pretty well cleaned up the chrysanthemums; they are now the ex- ception rather than the rule in the stores.^ The demand for red roses and carnations and for violets was very heavy. Nearly all the dealers were obliged to cut their orders severely for these flowers, especially violets. Since Thanksgiving there have been some heavy orders. The Army and Navy foot- ball game last Saturday cleaned up every violet in sight and many other flowers besides; chrysanthemums were a rarity that night. Sunday was a big day with some of the wholesalers. Beau- ties were in great demand. The open- ing of congress in Washington on Mon- day morning and the first German in Baltimore on Monday night carried off great quantities of choice stock. Val- ley has been a great seller; Leo Niessen received 20,000 last week. The local demand continues active; everything choice is eagerly accepted. Review of the Coal Market. We arc entering on a month of great activity in our business. I'eople "have money and are willing to spend it for our product. The most serious menace to our piosperitv is the uncertainty of getting plenty of good fuel, .uid* its price. In view of tlios.; facts a brief reviev- cl the fuel que-tion may be of interest. Most of the florists in and near this city have been burning buckwheat coal. The price of this size in the summer of 1901 was about $2.35 a ton on the tracks, or about 30 cents a ton more than the year before. When the great coal strike just ended in the anthracite mines had lasted well into the summer, many of our growers, realizing that their bins must be filled, be^an buvin^'° ^-^ Oamations.

Every grower of roses is about otE crop, but all indications point to a heavy and very fine Christmas crop. American Beauties are still very much sought after. Maids, Brides and Meteors are very good, but not enough to go around. Carnations are very fine and today there is very little poor stock in this market, all bringing satis- factory prices. Short white for funeral work is very much sought after. Poinsettias are I'oming in and are extra good. Paper whites are much sought for funeral work. Violets are very line. Our best are Farquhar and Louise. The weather has been very fine up to date and all indications point to a flue holiday trade. Ground pine is beginning to move. Calls are coming in for holly and Xmas decorations.

It has boen sovi-ral j-eais since I visited llie Mendcnhall greenhouses in Minneapolis, but I found little trouble in locating them on First avenue and Eighteenth street. A vear ago last August hail did $0,000 worth of damage here to buildings alone, be- sides inculf'ulable damage to stock, but everything has been rebuilt, and save the absence of some fine specimen palms and ferns the place looks as it did a half dozen years ago. Kobt. Tomlin is in charge and conducted me thi'ough the large range. In roses some old time and useful varieties were met. Like the proprietor, they are growing old and being old friends together they are not discarded. Belle Siebrecht, which was •so vigorously "marched up the hill and then marched down again" several years since, smiles sweetly here. It is a most beautiful variety, but like its reputa- tion does not last. Mine. Hoste and Tlie Queen are also grown for funeral and design work. For these purposes they are very desirable. In the palm section a fine lot of young Kentia Bel- moreana, grown from seed, was noted, also some fine Cycas revoluta grown from stems procured last season. One house was well filled with Boston ferns in prime condition. A few specimen plants of Nephrolepis Wittboldii were also seen, showing tlieir great value for decorative purposes. Everything in the line of plants and flowers is grown at this mammoth estab- lishment. Another range of 22 houses is located on the outskirts of the city and will be described in a future letter. X.

Within the last week activity in tlie llower market lias been more pronounced than it has been for some time, and the florists are sanguine that business will be good for the balance of the year. At this writing the market is very steady, with a suffi- cient supply of roses, carnations, Roman hyacinths, violets and valley to meet the demands. Clirysanthemums bade us adieu on Thanksgiving day, for which both retail- ers and growers were thankful. We are all glad to see them come in, in the fall, and twice glad to see them go. Harrisii lilies and paper white narcis- sus are now to be had in quantities. Tliese fill any shortage caused by the disappearance of mums. Prices for Tlianksgiving averaged about the same as a year ago. The general report is that business was bet- ter than the year previous, and had the weather conditions been more favor- able business would have, undoubtedly, gone on record as a winner. Maids and Brides sold at retail, from $1 to .$3 per doz. Carnations, 75 cents to .'(S1.25 per don. Violets, 75 cents to $2 per bunch. Chrysanthemums, $2 to $G per doz. Roman hyacinths and paper white narcissus, 50 cents to 75 cents per doz. The first real fall of "the beautiful" occurred in this vicinity last Sunday, November 30. The condition of stock in this section looks very promising for a good crop for Cliristmas. Growers are gradually becoming wiser; repeated cxperipnce's having taught them that it is folly to hold any quantity of stock beyond a reasonable time, preceding a holiday. Wm. Diamond is in charge of L. I. NefF's store at Homestead, Pa. Hoo-Hoo. BUTTE, MONT. Business was considerably injured by the recent political contest", which tem- porarily disorganized the social world, but normal conditions have returned and we are all busy. In addition to flowers for luncheons and dinners, funeral work has been in steady demand, as usual here. In addition to natural deaths there have been some shooting afl'airs that have kept us busy. At the "funeral of Dr. Cayley, who was killed several weeks ago, there were two large carriages filled with de- signs. One was the largest ever seen here. It was a large panel, 7x5 feet, on an easel, made for the Fraternal Order of Eagles. It was arranged by the Butte Floral Co. A picture is sent 'you. The Butte Floral Co. gave its second annual chrysanthemum show and open- ing recently and Senator Clark and some eastern visitors said the blooms and their arrangement excelled those at New York. Tlie blooms were arranged among oriental decorations with beauti- ful electric light effects. An orchestra concealed behind a bank of mums ren- dered a popular program. The show was attended by crowds of visitors. So- ciety turned out in force. The local press was very warm in its praise. There is talk of calling a meeting after the holidays to organize a florists' club here. Law Bros, report business very good. Tlieir new store gives them much more room, and it has been very attractively arranged. " Rambler. L B. BRAGUE, HINSDALE, - IV1ASS.

Everybody is getting in shape for their Christmas trade, and present pros- pects point to a good supply of carna- tions, but a shortage in No. 1 roses, although we believe there will be plenty of No. 2 stock, as the dull weather has caused a great amount of the stuff to come weak, and cau only be classed as No. 2. Violets promise to be scarce, as the mild weather brought on such a crop of foliage that many of the plants are not yielding equal to former years. We note during the last week a sharp increase in the price, and the cold weather has considerably decreased the Bupply. So much so has this been no- ticeable that one of our local dcaiers, who has been dealing in C. P. R. of late, was heard to say that the wholesal" price of cut flowers was about a-; uncertain as the ruling price of C. P. R. One of the wholesale men sent out four differ- ent price lists during the week, each one raiding on the previous one. We are hearing the same old f-ong from the local dealers in holly and other Christmas decorative material that it is going to be very scarce, and from the prices that arc being quoted we guess they think so. Howev'er, another two weeks will make it certain. Miller & Sons are finishing up their great supply of mums, and Mr. Miller says he is glad, as the rush of the last two weeks has been something terrible. They also have a very fine house of car- * nations, which are about as fine as any seen in this locality. D. J. A REVIEWER. Enclosed find annual subscription to the Review.

The week following the flower show proved a very dvUl one, but it might have been worse. Chrysanthemums were being held back for Thanksgiving day, and this helped the sales in other lines. Funeral work used many flowers, Newell having had a heavy run of this, and turned out some beautiful pieces. Rock had the decorations for the Schley ban- quet, giving by the Commercial Club to Admiral Schley, which was a very elab- orate affair. The Missouri-Kansans football game cut a big swath in the Thanksgiving business, especially yellow (Missouri's colors), and thousands of these were sold. The general business, as reported by the leading florists, is as follows: Newell did a heavy business in mums, having sold to exceed 800 Thanksgiving day, with a big increase over former years in regular lines. Rock's sales in- creased 25 per cent over last year in regular lines, but not quite so good on mums, the quality not being up to last year. Murray reports about 25 per cent increase, with few mums handled, while Barbe says 50 per cent. Barbe has been building this year. Lawrence Schwager, who had charge of Mr. Newell's Walnut street store for several years, has opened for business on his own account at 120" Grand avenue, with a neat store; and has been doing a good business from the start. Law- rence has plenty of ability and will make his new venture a success. The Alpha Floral Co. have opened at 802 Walnut street. Fred Weber has resigned as manager for Geo. JI. Kellogg at their Kansas Citv house. John H. Veset. KALAMAZOO, MICH. During the last month cloudy weather prevailed, which considerably shortened the cuts of both roses and carnations and helped to sustain prices. Mums were practically over with a week be- fore Thanksgiving and only the dregs remained to grace that festival. The demand for roses and carnations at Thanksgiving was large and good prices were obtained. Most of the grow- ers are just entering on their winter cut, and though the cut was big it is nothing to what they anticipate three weeks from now. Green, such as smilax, as- paragus and adiantum was abundant and had a fair demand. Comparing it with last year the vol- ume of trade was greater and the de- mand more lively. Reports of prospects from all around are good, and we are all thankful as we ought to be. R. BOSTON FERNS. S-inch pots $3.00 per doz.

The large increase in trade for Thanks- giving this year brought it almost in line with our leading holidays. The de- mand for cut flowers of all descriptions was exceedingly large. Carnations were in popular demand and large quantities were consumed. Roses sold well, and violets were short of demand. JVIiscel- laneous small flowers, such as valley, Romans, paper whites and Marguerites, helped to fill out to some extent. A few lots of straggling mums came in and were cleaned up at fair prices. There has been quite a drop in the green market the past few days. Pick- ers have been holding greens for snow and higher prices, and as the weather re- mained favorable, large quantities were picked. Much of it will now be thrown on the market too late to be handled at a profit by the jobbers of this commodity; whereas, if right prices could have been obtained earlier, it could all have been disposed of. The C. C. Pollworth Co. has rented ad- ditional quarters for the handling of holly, greens and various Christmas dec- orative stock. Incog. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. Tlianksgiving day was cold and raw, with about an inch of "the beautiful." Tliis, however, did not interfere with the enthusiasm of the football players, as in this game, as in everything else, Michigan won. Trade was brisk, the best ever known. Everything in the shape of a flower was cleaned up. American Beauties sell at from $1 to $1.50 per doz. Carnations, 50 cents to 60 cents per dozen. Mums, $1 to $5 per dozen. Violets, 20 cents per dozen. The weather has been unfavorable to violets, many plants having the spot very badly. After all, it seems as if violet growing were a game of chance. Henry Smith's new houses are Hear- ing completion. A 10-foot Wide house is^to be planted at once with Princess of Wales violets. It is the custom here to leave the plants in the field until they get frost-bitten, then plant. Treat- ed "thus, this variety blooms remarkably free. It would not be safe to treat other varieties in this manner. G. F. C.

This week we illustrate ba-sl-cets of roses as shown at tlie recent Chicago exhibition. No. 1 is a low basket with a high handle of grapewood, filled with a com- biimtion of President Cainot and ilnie. Chateiiay, a number of which were well open, with many buds interspersed, the two shades of pink blending nicely. There was little foliage used other than that of the roses andi a few sprays of Asparagus phunosus. On one side of the handle is a bow of green ribbon, of a shade to match the foliage. This basket was the entiy of John Mangel and was arranged by myself. It was awarded first prize. No. 2 is a willow basket very prettily filled with Liberty roses, bordered with Adiantum princeps, the handle entwined with green ribbon. It wa.s a very hand- some basket. It was the entry of A. Lange and was awarded second prize. No. 3 is much the same style of basket as No. 2, with the handle arranged dif- ferently and filled with Sunrise roses. A few fronds of Pteris eretica allx)-lineata appear on the handles and in the body of the basket, while at the bottom is a border of foliage of a wild shrub that had been most beautifully colored red and bronze by nature. This combination of colors — the green and silver ferns, the beautiful bronze green foliage of the Siuirise rase and the bronze red shrub foliage — 'Was very striking, and the de- signei-. llr.

In selecting wood for the propagation of American Beauties by cuttings, it is well to take it only from those plants which have proved the most floriferous. Ill nearly every house of Beauties there will be found plants which while show- ing a most vigorous growth are ex- tremely obstinate in forming flower buds. As they naturally possess more wootl than those which have flowered freely, they are frequently cut down and used for propagating, rather than those stems which are more likely to bloom. It -lould be wisdom to avoid these if possible, as no doubt the .same char- acteristic would be perpetuated in stock taken from them. Having usetl this method of selection for the last four years and found it to give satisfactory results, I can, with confidence, reconunend it. Though pro- ducing fewer long stemnled flowers, there io a much larger cut of flowers with stems two to four feet long and as these come to maturity quicker than very long stems do, the piufit is all the greater. By selecting well ripened short jointed wood there is a possibility of having a hatch of cuttings all of nearly equal ripe- ness, which will naturally, being under the same conditions and treatment, form roots in about the same period of time. If long stems are used which will yield from ?i.x to ten cuttings each it is ob- vious that there must be a material dif- ference in their condition of ripeness, and coiif-oquently the period of root for- mation will be very irregular and pro- tracted with a chance of losing a big percentage by leaf shedding. be. never attain that vigor so nec- essary to insure success. Overwatering will produce the same result. The cuttings should be carefully shaded every bright day for the first two weeks, as any approach to wilting means ruin. .Vfler the callous has formed they should be gradually inured to sunshine, which will hasten the making of roots. To se- cure good, strong plants for Jlay plant- ing, propagating should be accomplished before the end of December. Next week I will give a short treatise on propagat- ing by grafting. Rises.

To those this is not for enlighten- luent, but it is to be a reminder of what I have told them before. I know it is useless for any one to s.ay to the growers that they should not raise the temperature in their carnation houses just before the holidays, or to assert that nothing is gained by forcing out a few extra blooms to meet that terri- ble rush for flowers during the last three (lays prior to Xiuas.

Of course, you know your soil and you have your plants before you and you can see whether yon are doing them good or harm better than I can judge. You do not complain of any harm having come to your plants, so I will take it for granted that they are still in good shape. Wo usually mix enough bonemeal into the soil to supply the plants until to- ward spring, when they start into that strong S])ring g-rowth. We consider a mulch of rotted cow manure applied in September far snjierior to any other fer- tilizer and it usually is enough with a couple of sprinklings of lime or wood ashes to i-un the plants through the dark weather.

Starting at Indianapolis with a de- termination to catch a certain train for Kichmond in order to do these two towns, Moriculturally speaking, in one day was, to say the least, a mighty task. At Indianapolis the first thought, of cour.se, was Bertermann Bros. Well, what's the use, we must make time and we can picture that place in our mind, as can anyone who has had the good fortune to enjoy tlie hospitality of these people. Their place.is always spick and span, their carnations and pot plants the same. Tlie same genial greeting, whether at the store or greenhouses, always awaits the pilgrim to Indianapolis, therefore to save time and being inter- ested in a different line we journeyed to till' woods north of town. Here we found J5aur. We don't know what happened lo Jones, or Smith, rather, hut we missed him. There was Baur on his knees. It's -i fact. W(e stootl in the gloaming of the l)otting shed rmtil that gentleman came hack to tlie world, when one of our party remarked, "How often do you do that, Mr. Baur'?" "Oh, about six times a day, six days in the week, and about six more months for this season. Then we siiall fire 'em out and plant on raised benches like other civilized florists." The fact of the matter was that the carna- tions in this particular house had been ]ilanted in beds in the open field last spring and the gieenhouse built over them, thus doing away with transplant- ing. If you want to work a new consti- tution into your stock, that's the idea. We never saw a finer batch of Crane — large rtowers on strong steins in abund- ance, and from the appearance of the stubs a big crop had been jiicked. Crock- er also was doing well, as is usual here. El ma and Roosevelt were among the good ones, while one or two others came in the class of "also rans." looking yearningly towards the glass, occasion ally a fine bloom looking up at us i i much as to saj', "Use your influence with this man towards giving us another chance next year on benches, when we think we can hold our own with the best of them." Naturally our hearts went out to them, and while our tongues sort of clove to Jhe V'.iof of our mouths, nudging each other, we managed to sug- gest the idea to Mr. Baur. who informed us that it had been their intention ever since they built the house to put in l>enches the second season. W^e could readily see. taking into consideration the fact mat their trade calls for carna- tions every month in the year, that fo/ the first season the method followed waS a paying one. The older houses are planted on benches, and we understand the majority of the plants had been grown in pots un- til ]danting time. 'Ilicrc were seedlings in quantity from indifl'erent to extra good, and none bad. That pink — well, look out; we saw it last year. It comes in the class of darker than Scott, and in our opinion will take that cake when put on the market. .John Mitchell, a white, is nearly on a par with above.

Higinbotham and Mrs. Palmer, were enough thought of to sacrifice all bloom for cuttings. Perhai>s this should speak for their value when grown by such a good judge as Mr. Itaur. We left this establishment with a firm conviction ',nat tlu< Review's Carnatiou Nfites — West, were written by one that knows whereof he speaks. We found E. A. Nelson's place, on!,-!

As you all know, Mr. Nelson for some reason or other had no suciress in rooting this variety last sea- son, but other years met with no ditfi eulty whatever. Krom our experience there is no more trouble in rooting this varietv than a number of other:?.

But tnen. hf was not overconfident with Jubi- lee and remember what a record it made throughout the west. We are looking forward to the time when he will strike a Fee-on-say, when no doubt he will cover that fine place of his with glass and be in possession of the best suburban retail business in the Apolis. (To be continued.) MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Preparing for Christmas. Tho last ten days before Christmas sees with many of us an entire sus- I)ensi(m of gardening operations, and all liand.s except the fireman and the cook aro iWnding wreadiing of various materials, making wreaths and prepar- ing for the merry-making and decora- tions tliat now so happily pervades the whole land. Time was, and not so far renjote, when the desccnvin, anfl from Hairy Pap worth to Mani- toba. Before I say what little I know about trade in greens, let me prattle a Utile about the necessitv of prepara- tions in the plant line, for plant.-^ will enter again largely into our holiday •sales. It is, as we all know, impossible to crowd the work of a week in oidi- narj' times into twenty-four hours be- fore the dawn of Chriistmas morning, and eveiything that can possibly be done ahead of time shouhl be done. "Order is the first law of heaven," so someone has said who was privileged to have a look in, and system in business is all im]>ortant. Some individuals get along in confusion and muss, but they are those who do all the detail themselves, and if anyone steps in to help they are of little assistance, for they don't know where €o take hold. It is seldom in anj' establishment. I>ig or little, that a space can not be given to the plants (hat are purchased, and if it can and the bench is covered with coarse paper, the plants when sold can be placetl there and dividwl into groups that are to be delivered on cer- tain days. In this connection another feature of tho Christmas linsini*.;s and nisli is worthy of mention — rouling tlic loads for .vour delivery wagons. There is frequently great delay and waste of time of l)oth men and horses l>ecause you have not your deliveries routed. Certjiin wagons go into certain sections of the city, north. .sri you want. The system I advo<"ate and liave fouiul to work smoothly is this: First, we do not depend on our lusual order files for Christmas Eve or several pre- vious days, but have special files for those special (lii|\B. Mrs. Daphne on the 21st buys or orders an azalea to be sent to ilrs. Lotus and a c.vclanien to Miss Jasmine and says "Here is my card for both of them." A small tag is at- tached to each plant with the name "Dapluie." Tlie order reads "Charge Mrs. Daphne 1 azalea, r>rice $3. De- liver to ilrs. Lotus December 24." The order and card are put into a cheap seed envelope and put on orders for de- livery on the 24th. Now, you can not put a mat around the pot, or ribbon on the jjlant, or the card on, because they would get soiled. On the night before the 24th all hands are wrapping planitsi, covcfting pots cr decorating with ribbons and at- taching cards, and the boss can hand out orders and directions for several good men. and so he stands with the orders before him and savs: "Here. I John, you will find an azalea and a cyclamen labeled 'Daphne.' Attach this card and this address to the azalea and this card and this address to the C3'clamen." You then file away the order for making the charge as soon as the rush is over, and if it is paid for, reference on your tag which bears the addkees. It is a great help all around to write on it what the ]>lant is. For in.stance. in the alx>ve cjise it would be, "ilrs. Lotus, 33 Periwinkle street, 1 azalea,'' and if two plants were going there, write them both on the tag. It helps the delivery man very much. If the above seems a good deal of clerical work, remember that if one good plant is lugged over town without find- ing its destination, or the wrong plant is delivered, the loss in its value would pay the day's wages of a smart clerk. The clean fingei-s of a lad or the pretty fingers of a yo\ing woman can have baby ribbons attached to the card or the little envelope that eiiclases it, and that in man.y cases can be done ahead of time, for the day of fastening a card or envelojie to a plant with wire or a. piece of grocer's twine is past. I can remember the time when ]>lants were delivered with dirty jxjts. Those were the days contemporary with car- nations with 3-inch stems being sent out in a cigar box, and the salesman wore rubber boots. All pots should lie clean and dn', whether covered with paper or not; but . who no«"adays would dare to send out a pretty plant with a naked red pot? Wiether the customer asks for it or not, he puts green, white or some color harmonizing with tho flower on the jK>t of ever.v plant. A she<'t of green paper, then a sheet of white, and the plant stood in the center and the paper brought u|) aiound the edge of the pot adds won- derfully to the tastefulness and finish of anv plant. And the paper should bo tiedi around the jwt with tinsel cord, not string or wire. Tlie cent or two of expense these fancy touches give to the plant is nothing compared to the pleas- ure they will give, and if you don't kee|) up with the procession others will forge ahead. The matter of ribbon on plants is of doubtful taste. I said last week that on baskets of plants they are almost a necessity, but on an individual plant it is quite another thing. A ribbon, not over li or at most 2 inches broad, tied ai'ound the pot with a pretty bow, is not out of place, but then it would have to harmonize with the pot cover and! flower, A small feathen\i bow of led ribbon on an iiraucaria will do very well, and a broad red ribbon on a pan of poinsettias will make the show richer. I can scarcely think of a hand- some azalea of any color, or Begonia Lorraine, or cyclamen being enhanced b_v the addition of ribbon. Now, although you can't do this trimming up of plants in the green- house until a few hours, or at most a day, before .vou deliver them, it is es- sential that the plants in your store window or jour shoHTOom at the greeii- hoiLse should be decked out in their best, for their finished and attractive app<'arance is what will sell them, and they will be samples of what you will do to any plant that is bought. There are many accessions to our business that have the past few years added con- siderably to the cost of conducting it. and but few of them can be charged for directlv. But the ribbon business vou December 11, 1902. The Weekly Florists' Review. 93 New Yellow Rose Franz Deegen, Grown by Ernst Asmus, West Hoboken, N. J. can not afford to throw in. You can alwajys charge that in tlie smu total of the sale, and more than the cost of it. Bouquet green or ground pine seem to be going out of fashion and are not mvieh used for private decorations. Still you should make up some youi-self, for it is much better than you can buy. jMake it in ten-yard lengths on coarse string, dyed a deep green. Twenty-five cents' worth of the dfj-e will color 400 yards, and then you won't sec the naked spots, if any. The pine 'wi-eaths are also in little demand, and everybody wants holly and I never knew us to have enough. Jlake all you can and as early as you can, for all hands arc too busy the last feiw days. There are all kinds of holly \\Teatlis made, some with holly only on one side and gi'een on the other, sonie witli red immortelles added to the holly. But the wircath that sells best is a full wreath of holly on all -sides, and be prepareile them up too high or they flatten out. Ground pine will keep anywhere, no matter how cold, if the light and air is kept fr(»iu it. Tliis Christmas green business is largely in the hands of huck- sters and peddlers, but our good cus- tomers depend on us and there is a good profit in it. Williaji Scott. THE COLOR SCHEME IN CHRY- SANTHEMUMS. BY PROF. .II.IHN F. rOWELL. [Reail before the Chrysanthemum Society of America at the Chicago couvention.] When I received an invitation to pre- pare a paper for this national body of experts, gathered in convention to-day, I must confess that I doubted my ability to prepare anything that would be either new or interesting on the subject dearest to the heart of tjus society,, and the more I looked into the extensive literature of the chrysanthemum the stronger this feeling became. To find some phase of the subject which had not been thtlroughly threshed out and winnowed and yet within the limit of my time and knowledge seemed an almost hopeless task, and only my feeling of duty to your organization pre- vented my declining the honor. The subject as announced briefly is "The Color Scheme in Chrysanthemums," and the investigations on which much of what I have to say is based were car- ried on by me over a. quarter of a centui'y ago. I must beg of you not to regard my remarks as a sermon or a lecture, but merely as a rambling talk, on certain theories, which may bring out further discussion of benefit to all interested in extending the color range in the queen of autumn. My acquaintance with the chrysanthe- mum dates back over forty years, and my earliest recollection is of the clumpa of somewhat pinky white and ratlier striped purple blooms that stood in a sheltered nook beneath the dining-room windows of my boyhood's home. While these blooms would hardly pass muster to-day, yet I remember that we looked forward to their blooming and valued them the more because tliey braved the cold November winds with their modest show of color. Of the then choicer varieties, grown in pots for indoor decoration, were a bronzy yellow, a pure white and a bro\vn red or maroon, all of which were small, reflexed blooms of the Chinese type. As above indicateil, all of these early forms of the Chinese species were of rather impure color. The wine-colored or magenta tints did appear in many of these" but I do not remember anything that could be called, even by courtesy, pink among them. With the Fortune introductions came gradually pure yellows, fairly good pinks, wine reds, waxy whites and nearly all the other shades except led, scarlet and blue, and notwithstanding many years of cultivation since, the blue and the scarlet have not been attained. Just why these colors have eluded us it is hard to say. The long line of heredity within historic times seems to have been too weak in the proper pig- ments to dominate the blooms and by many the possibility of obtaining the blue chrysanthemum is doubteeen able to dissolve the yel- low coloring in water and but few of the blues. In testing these extracted colors with the spectrum analysis the yellow and blue coloring matters of the chiys- anthenium seem to be identical mth chlorophyl and are only to be dissolved by alcohol or benzol, not by water. The methoresent in col- House of Beauties at J. A. Budlong's, Chicago. Planted May 26. Photographed Oct. 28. slow oxidation, by means of which the pigment is destroyed. I now refer to the action of the vegetable acids; with sul- ])huric or hydrochloric acids xanthophyl changes to green and blue. Changes of blue to red and red to green are easily brought about. Changes from red to green and from red to blue are very common in nature. In early spring young leaves of maples and other trees are often quite red. but later as the leaves grow and mature the coloring becomes green. Later in the season the change is reversed, and w-e see the green chang- ing to red. In many flowers a similar change takes place. In mertensia and other iKiraginaceous flowers the expand- ing buds are red and change to blue as tliey come into antithesis. Green is to be considered as a mixture of blue and yellow, and it is well known that chlo- rph.vl, the green coloring matter of leaves, is separable after crystallization into yellow and blue elements. ored flowers, and it is the differing pro- portions that give us the infinite number of tints seen in nature. Now. considering the convertibility of these pigments of the cyanic group and the presence of the yellow pigment in the mixture, are there any good reasons for expecting scarlet and blue to appear in chrysanthemum flowers? Let us look for a moment on the color of this bloom as it is to-day and as it was at the time of its introduction. The oldest colored plate of the bloom that I have seen represents it as a purplish pink, a strongly cyanic color. On the other hand, yellow has always been well and abundantly present in tiie cultivated varieties since their earliest introduction into this country, at least, and since the .Japanese introduc- tions yellow of great purity has been almost predominating. Tlie very name of the flower refers to the yellow coloring. If we are to con- sider yellow as original and typical of C. indicum, it would seem from what we know of the immutability of that pigment an almost hopeless task to convert it into blue or any otiier color. But, if I mistake not. the other parent of our modern flower is strongly cyanic. !Many of our hybrid blooms are strongly impregnated with the cyanic: pigment, and we have quite a long list of varie- ties described as amaranth, purplish crimson, magenta, lilac, mauve, etc., cer- tainly showing a marked increase in the amount of the blue pigment, in these later years. The forces that govern the character of the secretions in the cells of the plant are most delicately adjusted, and an in- crement or a diminution that battles the most sensitive scale of the chemist may change entirely the color of a flower or transform a leaf. And so it is to quali- tative rather than quantitative analysis that we must look for the solution of many of the problems of plant life. Qualitative tests .seem to show that the reactions which bring alxjut the red and yellow and red colors are acid, and those that give us blue and green are of an alkaline character. Just how far this knowledge will help us in the protluction of the missing colors in chrysanthemums remains to be seen. It certainly will not do to rely on hy- podermic injections or on absorption of gaseous fumes for the attainment of the end in question; but the knowledge may be of some use to us in the work of de- velopment. It is entirel}' probable that the process of developing the new colors will be along the lines of selection and breeding, and when we remember what wonderful results have been brought about by long continued and intelligently a])|)lied ell'ort there seems to be a fight- ing chance. It would seem that, given one color to start with, it ought to be a compara- ti\ely easy matter to produce the op- posing color, that is. if we have red to start with, we ought to obtain green without difficulty; if we have purple we ought to get yellow, theoretically. Prac- tically it is not so easy, it seems. In- dications are that it is from the cyanic flower nearest in value to the color de- sired that we must proceed. This group, or at least that part of it which lies be- tween the violet and the red, seems to be easily disturbed and changed or broken up. For instance, in working for a blue one would naturall.v start with a violet red, which we already have and which is a particularly instable color. In work- ing for scarlet one would preferably be- gin with an orange red shade modified with blue, if possible. Another problem connected with the preceding is that of obtaining a homo- genous coloring on both sides of the petal. At the present I think our nearest approaches to red and scarlet are to be found in the bi-colors. Here, of course, the unity of the color is marred by the dull papery under-petal. With distinctly and regularly reflexed flatpetaled flowers of course this is not so noticeable ; but with less compact In- florescence or of incurved blooms the dull coloring and poor texture spoils many a bloom otherwise admirable. Tliis differ- ence in color and texture is not uncom- mon in the petals of flowers generally. A gi-eat many of our flowers that are up- right or lateral exhibit this same di- versity— the lower or outer surfaces are gieenish. dull-colored, or coarse, while in the pendulous flowers this difference is Decejibeb 11, 1902. The Weekly Florists' Review. 95 Greenhouses of J. A. Budlong, Bowmaxiville, Chicago. not so marked. The reason advanced is that iu the one case the brilliant coloring is not needed, as practically onlv one side — the upper — of the petal is seen. In the case of the pendulous flower it is the outer side of the petal that is pre- sented to the eye, and so it is to be made the conspicuous surface. \\liy these things occur thus and so is all written in the book of evolution. To be sure, it has taken a long time to bring these colors about in the haphazard way of nature. We expect the modern florist to accom- plish in a few years more than natural selection has done in thousands. The evolutionist of to-day can make his crosses between forms gathered from tlie uttermost parts of the earth, and is not ctfnfined as nature has been to slight variations growing accidentally in jux- taposition. If one chi-ysanthemum bloom shows the desired character- istic there is' no reason why all cannot be made to do so. Like ])ioduces like, and unlike produces inilike. .just as surely to-day a.s it did a thousand years ago, and there is no good reason to believe that we have reached the limit in any direction. As we accumu- late knowledge we incease in power over all things and a little obstacle like the coloring of a bit of cellular tissue should not be insurmountable. Perhaps I have left you still just as far from an answer to the question as you were when I began. However, what has been may be again, and even new combinations are possible. It has been demonstrated that both pure red and blue pigments exist in the species, and the possibility of intensifying and iso- lating them seems to me to be not un- reasonable. Because we have never seen these colors appear is no reason why they may not yet come. At any rate. I think we shall all agree as to the desira- bility of this increase in color, though we may differ as to the probability of reach- ing the goal. And I feel sure that if this change is ever broughr about it will be due in a great measure to the inspira- tion of the C. S. A. AMONG THE GROWERS. J. A. Budlong, Chicago. In this issue we visit pictorially the establishment of Mr. J. A. Endlong. Bowmanville, Chicago. The general view takes in a wide range of t«rritor.v and does not show up the houses very well. On one side is the older range, containing nine houses each 22x300 and eight houses 20x200, and on the other is the new range, containing t*n houses, each 27x200. The new range has the Garland iron gutter and iron post con- struction, and the posts are set in con- crete. The entire establishment is heated by steam from one battery of boilers, con- taining six boilers of 85-horse-power and two of 50-horse-power. The steam coils are all 2-inch and Mr. Budlong is satisfied this size is best for his pur- I>ose. In roses. Brides. Maids, Beauties and Sfeteors are the big four at this estab- lishment.

They do not now replant their roses e<^'f^ry year, believing they get equally good results by resting and top- dressing. They have carried over some ])lants to the third .year with very sat- isfactory' results. But when carried over beyond the second year they re- ])lant in fresh soil. They expect to add six new houses each 27x.300 for carnations next year, to the present range of which an inte- rior view is given in this issue. Mr. J. A. BuQlong now gives little personal attention to the business, his son, A. H. lUidlong, ha\-ing relieved him of the cares of same. He is therefore able in pleasant weather to take little jaunts on his bicycle — to Boston and back, to the Ohio river, or other points within eas.y wheeling distance. He is also fond of music and has just invested in a new graphophone. He says that be has selected all "jf^jful music," which would indicate that he is getting his share of prosperity. PHILADELPHIA. TheMarkeU The cut flower market is easier than one week ago; a great many more flowers are coming in. The demand is good but not so brisk as it was; prices have not advanced. Some of the stock grades high. Double violets are rather scarce; valley is hardly as plentiful as a week ago. Edward 'Eeid has a good thing in sweet peas; he is receiving both white and pink, or more properly speaking, pink and white. The white are held at a slightly higher figure than the pink; both sell well. White carnations are in better demand than the colored; some of the poorer grades are on the street at low prices. Greens are selling well. The Flower Market. Chas. E. Meehan feels greath' encour- aged by the support given the market. The growers who bring their stock in each morning are increasing in number and nearly all are pleased with their sales. More buyers are coming in as the season advances, giving the place the at- mosphere of a mart. The floor and wall spaces are being taken in a way to indi- cate that it will not be very long before the big surface is covered. Already more wall space has Ijeen taken than is taken in the combined markets of New York and Boston. The action of the board of directors in accepting consignments on a commission of 1.5 per cent from those who do not rent stalls is bringing some good out of town stock. Leo Niessen has a very attractive stand in the market for the sale of Christmas greens and other supplies useful to the retailer. Notes. C. H. Campbell reports a very good de- mand for earl.v chrysanthemums, both cut flowers and pot plants. Of the Jater sorts \V\. H. Lincoln is still found satis- factory. Jlr. Campbell spent three years in California as a seed grower, doing well. He returned here last summer and on Jul.v 1 succeeded his brother, George E. Campbell (now of Flourtowai) in charge of the place at 3601 Germantown avenue, where pot plants are a specialty. The Floral Exchange has experienced an encouraging demand for their rose, Queen of Edgely. H. C. Geiger says that the orders are often booked a long time ahead and that at times their 10,000 plants cannot produce enough to keep pace with the demand. Charles Smith, formerly of this city, now of Harrisburg, came on to attend the party given bv Pennock Bros. John Burton and John N. May have just returned from a week's trip.

Interesting addresses were made by the elected officers, and the clul) commences its new year with the as- surance of cordial co-operation with the officials bv every member present. A photograph of the club members was taken, and later you will have an oppro- tiinity of beholding the faces of the "an- nointed."' An exhibit of a dozen fine types of Per- civaliana cattleyas was made by Liiger & Hurrell, and a grand vase of Harlowar- den carnation, by Mr. James Hartshorne, of the Chicago Carnation Co., who was present, and who entertained the club with a very enjoyable account of his trip through tlie carnation centers of Indiana, Ohio "and Maryland. Mr. Hartshorne w ill visit the " Flatbush carnationists, and }ilr. Ward at the Cottage Gardens, before proceeding to Cromwell, West- erly and Boston. The Harlowarden flow- ers" were cut on Thursday last, shipped from Joliet Saturday morning, and ar- rived in Xew Y'ork Monday in perfectcon- dition, showing not the slightest depreci- ation (except in fragrance) by the long trip, and scoring 94 points after an ex- haustive consideration by a most criti- cal committee. Mr. Hartshorne pre- dicted for the carnation convention at Brooklvn the greatest success of the so- ciety, but declared that the carnation, like the star of Empire, westward win» its widening way. He then read Mr. Dorner's original description of "Fian- cee." Mr. Hartshorne failed to make any reference to Fiancee until urgently requested bv the club to do so. stating it was his "desire that other carnations should maintain their prominence until he was ready to demonstrate its position, as already judged, .a# the finest carnation in the world. Tlie death of Mr. Alex MeLellan, one of the club's members, was announced and a committee was appointed to draft reso- lutions of svmpathy. An annual dinner was decided upon and the necessary committee appointed to arrange for the same. The dinner to be given by the Brook- lyn Horticultural Society to the Ameri- can Carnation Society was announced for February 20, with accommodationa for 500 guests. The medal awarded Mr. Wells for the grand display of English chrysanthe- niuins was declared ready for presenta- tion and will be taken to England by Mr. Dinimock. Several donations of premiums award- ed al tlie Madison Square flower show- were generously returned to the club by the winners, and votes of thanks were given for the courtesy. Petitions to congress for the removal of the dutv on glass were submitted to the members and signed by everyljody present. The usual refreshments were dis- jiensed and the members went out into the cold world harmoniously inclined to maintain the honorable record of the club during 1903. Notes. Mr. John Henshaw, brother of Samuel Henshaw', is visiting his sons at Short Hills, N. J., and will return next week to his home in England, after a pleasant two months' stay in this country. Tlie Christmas atmosphere is here. Great ship-loads of Christmas trees al- readv line the docks, and holly, pine and all the adjuncts of the festive season are here. It 'will be a plant Christmas too, but already a shortage in ardisias, begon- ias and cvclamen is evident. WarendorfT will open his new store m the Ansonia December 15.

The New York papers gave elaborate accounts of the opening and the probable patronage of the 400. Ralph Armstrong, for the past ten years with Siebrecht & Son, and Miss Alice McLeod, the firm's secretary and stenographer, were married last week. Miss McLeod was very popular and her services were much appreciated. The Rosary has had a very attractive ■window of poinsettias and orange trees lately with moss trimmings. Mr. Troy, manager, just elected president of the New York Florists' Club, leaves this ■week for Aitkin, South Carolina, where he is arranging for the planting of an immense Italian garden. Siebrecht & Sons have now completed their fine conservatory and greenhouses at 409 5th avenue, and have enlarged and redecorated their store so that in com- pleteness and conveniences, the estab- lishment is unequalled anywhere in the city. Mcintosh had the DonohueConville ■wedding at St. Vincent churcli last week, in which decoration of white and pink mums prevailed. The bride's bouquet ■n'as of white orchids and valley and the bridemaids' "muffs" of Golden Gate roses, ■with shower bouquets. A. Warendorff's windows were gay with Christmas bells and Lorraine be- gonia baskets backed by Anna Foster ferns. Thos. Young, jr., finds his 58tli street branch a valuable adjunct to his bon ton clientage. He used a large number of white and yellow mums. Bridesmaids and white orchids, at the Arms wedding in St. Thomas church on 58th street. The new store displays an attractive elec- tric sign and its windows are always beautifully arranged. Julius Roehrs is finding demand for flowering plants this year far beyond his even, as he thought, inexhaustible supply. Bobbink & Atkins have just received an additional importation of bay trees and large kentias; also holly trees well berried, for their Christmas trade. Their sales of evergreens for hotels, clubs and the large private mansions of the city have been very extensive. Other interesting late importations are apples, pears, peaches and cherries, pot grown for forcing, and 5,000 forcing rhododendrons, of 50 cents to $5 values, finely budded. Two specimen Araucaria imbricata, twenty feet in height, were a novel addition to their shipment. H. H. Berger & Co. report a complete cleaning out of all their Holland and French goods and a late importation of tree and herbaceous paeonias from Japan for Easter fiowering, and double flowering cherries at $50 per 100, which retail read- ily at Easter for $5 each. Patrick Welsh of Boston, was a late visitor on his way to Philadelphia. Jas. Hammond is handling some very fine orange trees for Christmas, 1,000 of them having already been sold. His cut flower trade grows steadily. J. J. Perkins, one of the veterans, still maintains his reputation for Brides and Maids, some stock last week being superb with 3 1-2 foot stems. Over 1,000 cyps pass weekly through his hands. Riedel & Co. have a fine grade of Sun- rise and Sunset among other stock and feel much encouraged with their recep- tion into the ranks of the wholesalers. As early as 5:30 a. m. Mr. Bradshaw was reminded last week of his 35th birthday by the delivery of an immense 5-foot horse shoe of flowers at his resi- dence. He suspects his partner and tne staff. Lecakes & Co. are sole New York agents for W. A. Davis & Co.'s special leucothoe sprays, handling a quarter of a million yearly. Kerwin '& Co. make a specialty of small table Christmas trees and fine needle pines. Their new store on 27th street is wonderfully convenient. David Clarke's Sons' new store is al- ready crowded with Christmas goods, and their immense windows have all the nov- elties of the season. They expect a great holiday trade and are ready for it. L. J. Kreshover is overwhelmed with orders and reports the greatest season's business in his history. Mr. Ghormley, who was the first to use the Sefton corrugated boxes, and through whose influence the wholesale growers adopted them, speaks highly of their value and the saving effected by their use. He expects a great demand for red roses and carnations for Christ- mas, but looks for the usual two weeks of insufferable dullness between now and Christmas. The fall in values immedi- ately after Tlianksgiving he estimates at fully 100 per cent., and this conclusion seems to be general and well foiinded. Reed & Keller are not only novelty handlers, but inventors. Their season has been beyond expectations and their extra force is busy day and night. J. A. Millang, manager of the New York Cut Flower Co., is now being called the "Beauty King." He says Beauties are never off crop and that an extra fine crop is assured for the Christmas trade. Advance orders are numerous. Chas. Millang finds his cut flower trade again dominant. Hyacinths and narcis- sus in great demand, and violets appreci- ated by those who can see before buying in the light of his new conservatory. The opportunity for further accommo- dations for wholesale florists in the Coogan building is lost, the floor space available having a week ago been rented for other business. The prospects generally for a fine Christmas trade in all lines are excel- lent. A general evidence of cheerful ex- pectation is everywhere evident, and that all may have a very merry and profit- able Christmas is the sincere wish of J. Austin Shaw. PITTSBURG. The Florists' Club. In the evening the rain came down in torrents, nevertheless 24 members came to the club meeting. The talk was about Christmas greens, plants and ma- terials. William Scow, one of our larg- est dealers, complained of the serious railway blockade. He has a great deal of stuff coming from the South and else- where that should have been here before now. but it is lost on the railways some- where and he doesn't know where. Other dealers had similar complaints. The firm of Gustave & Julius Ludwig exhibited a variety of Christmas mate- rials. The Out' Flower Co. showed some neat bells made of papier mache lined inside green and covered on out- side with red immortelles. They also had finely berried mistletoe from Texas, and something of a novelty from the South in the way of leafless smilax vines full of clusters of scarlet berries. It was thought these would mix up fine in holly and other evergreen wreathing. Schenley Park sent some sprays of ber- ried shrubs. Fromi John Dunbar, assistant super- intendent of the Rochester, N. Y., parks, came a large assortment of sprays of scarlet fruited berried shrubs, including roses, euonymus, berberis, HyTus, cra- tiPgus, celastrus, solanum, lyeium and winterberry that were suggestive and nuich appreciated. Sprays of the bright- er berried berberis mixed in among ever- green would be excellent for cemetery 9S The Weekly Florists' Review.

The generous panicles of little redl hips of the Japanese black- berry rose (Rosa nuiltiflora), also the vivid orange-colored fruit of CratJEgus pyracantha and the bright winterberry may also be used in the same way, as they, too, are enduring. In the larger and commoner indoor Christmas decorations these hardy shrul)s can likewise be used to fine advantage. Hard frost is quite injurious to the fniits of euonyinus and celastrus; if these, however, are cut early in Kovember and hiuig up in a shed, cool and dry, but above freezing point, they will keep veiy well for Christmas, in- deed the celastrus, both American and Japanese species, when heartly fruited and dried, retain their ornamental char- acter all winter long and big bushy sprays or branches of them can be used. The Blind brothers have gone into growing Begonia Lorraine and now have it in veiy fine form; they brought in a little beauty of a plant with them. They liought the small i)lants in the East last July for $15 a hundred, and now hope to sell them for 75 cents to $l.each. Mr. E. C. Reineman tohl us 'of some fine Lorraines he saw the other day; the grower told him he kept them very much on the dry side, and in a cool tempera- ture, not over oO to 55 degrees at night. In this way thi-y endured with consider- able impunity- the change from the greenhouse to the city store or the cus- tomer's rot)nis. Some of the boys thought tlierc was quite a future for poinsettias here. At 25 cents a head they coiild make money out of them, but for a penny less they wouldn't handle them. Grow tliem planted out on benches with good sun- shine and fair heat till in full he.nd. then lower the temperature to stiffen them. Small pot plants and ])ans con- taining a few plants in each are nnuh in demand and now we nnist send East for them. Euphorbia jaequinia?- flora from the Phipps conservatoi'^r was much admired. To grow it in its great- est perfection it should l)e planted out on a bench. Mr. Reineman was warmly in favor of our old friends, the bouvardias, for Chri.stmas, and he advised some of the growers to go into it. Tlie Cut Flower Co. said it could sell every bouvardia flower raised in town. It is now get- ting its supply from the South. Some- one lemarked if one man went into it and made money out of it then every- body would go into it. Well, that's all right, then drop it and go into some- thing else before the others get on to that something. This is what Ernst Asmus docs, and he makes money enough to t<'rrify every moose and caribou in Canada; and Julius Roehrs did the same with the cheneille plant. Ernest Ludwig is somewhat exercised because the expressmen fail to deliver flowers promptly and then when the flor- ist refuses to take the boxes the express men turn around and sell them to who- ever will buy them and for any price they can get for them ; all they care for is to get enough to pay their express charges, and the poor gi-ower or shipper gets nothing. We will ponder over this until the next meeting, when it and some other like things will be consid- ered. Mr. Langhans, of the Cut Flower Co., however, suggested a reasonable remedy. "Patronize home industries, bu(\^ your Uowers from the commission liouse.s in D our o\yn town and then you'll have nothing in the way of expressmen to worry about.'' A communication about the high tariff on greenhouse glass and a desire to have it removed so as to bring the glass magnates to their senses and glass down to a reasonable price came from Xathan Smith & Son, of Adrian, Mich. John Bader was loudly in favor of it, but Howard Childs, in view of the fact that the tariff question is not to be touched on by Congress this winter, thought At inexpedient that the club should do anything in the premises at this time. "But when John began tell- ing us about the fine plants he import- ed from Europe and the big prices he got here for them some of us thought that what he lost on glass he made up on plants. For instance, he told lis of a fine imported holly that cost him "six shillings in Eiu-ope he sold to a nian for .*5. Tlien he rej)ented of his bar- gain and offered the man $10 for it. "Oh, no," said the customer, "if you want it back the price now. is $15," i so John let him keep it. P. A. BUFFALO. The wave of eplu'uicral. or otherwise, prosperity has si)read its wings over this city, as it appears to have done in all other directions. The present state of trade is that there is not enough good stock to go around and often it is a mis- erable scramble to fill orders as you would wish. Talk about the business being overdone; it has not yet begun. I have a goorices are considerably lower than a week ago. We have enjoyed our first touch of real winter weather, with some snow, which has kept most of the fakirs off the streets. The downtowni stores are fast assuming a Christmas ap- pearance and most of the large houses are already decorated with wreathing and holly. The prospect for a heayy demand for ground pine and holly .is good. Chrysanthemums are well cleaned out and in another week will be about over, with the exception of some of the late varieties. With these out of the market lietter prices will be realized for other stock. Violets are in fairly good supply, but not nearly enough to supply the big de- mand, and the price is holding up well. Californias and a few doubles are the only varieties in this market. Tlie demand for good roses was rather light the past week and plenty were left over after the morning sales. The qual- ity of Brides, Maids, Meteors, Perles and Gates that are coming in is fine. Beauties seemed more plentiful than for some time past and prices remain about the same as quoted last week. As yet no Harrisii have made their December 11, 1902. The Weekly Florists' Review^ 99 appearance, although some are expected soon. Carnations are in good demand and the supply big. Some fine Lawsons, Wliite Clouds, Nelsons, Cranes and Daybreaks were seen the past week, very few of which were left over when they were first class. Some of Witt^rstaetter's Enquirer and Dorner's Morning Glory were picked up quickly. Paper whites are overplentiful but fine in quality; Romans not quite so many and are selling well. The valley tuat comes to this market is very fine and is always in good demand. No other bulb stock is in yet. All kinds of greens are selling well. The smilax in this market is of exceptionally fine quality. Trade Notes. Frank il. Ellis reports some large shipping orders the past week in sup- plies and cut flowers. Mr. Ellis says that his big advertisement in the Re- view almost doubled his business, and that it's surely a business bringer. Jlr. C. A. Kuelm is having a big Viusi- ness in supplies, cut flowers and wire work. In the wire department all hands are busy with Christmas designs for lix-al and outside dealers. Henry Berning receives a large amount of stock each nioming. and a good local and shipping trade is reported. Tlie St. Louis Carnation Co.'s stock is a good seller at this place. The above reports speak well for our wholesalers,' a.s does the large amount of stuff Ihey dispose of every morning to the trade, and no doubt tfiey will have their hands full tin- rfuuiimlcr of the year.

They Were somewhat neglected in the summer, but have been fed and cared for since. Wliat is the reason, and is there any way to prevent it in the fu- ture? " Inquirer. The most prolific cau.se of so much blind woo«l is failing to stake and traifl the plants in proper time. Wlien this is neglected and the plants allqwed,"fb scramble over the bench the woodi-bS- comes tliin and Weak and produces little else than blind wood. ■■•<•' Of course there are other conditions which will bring about a like result such as poor soil, and want of proper venti- lation. If these are tea roses a judicious tliin- niiig out of the small blind wood wjU help to strengthen the remaining eyes. The shoots which are now forming wifl also receive a greater share of susten- ance, which flith care in watering ;Ttfi|l free ventilation sliould in a short tinie produce a crop of buds. Ribes. .

Stokes thinks the prospects for next; season's business are very briglit. The conditions are the most remarkable in his experi- ence of twenty-live years. The farmers and truck growers, both here and in the West, made nioniy last season, and have confidence to increase their sowing. The shortage in seed of certain varieties is a serious obstacle. Early varieties of peas have suffered severely; also some of the best novelties in other vegetables. One case was instanced where 1,200 pounds of seed had been ordered with the expec- tation of receiving at least 1,000 pounds; not even 200 pounds will be forthcoming. It is probable, Mr. Stokes says, that the use of less popular kinds -nill help fill the shortage in some varieties, and heavier sowing of varieties obtainable will further relieve the situation. He feels, however, that it will be impossible to fully satisfy the demand and that prices will naturally advance over those of last season. In view of these facts, coming from such a source, every seed buyer should consult his seedsman about next season's supply in good time. Phil. Baltimore.— The Griffith & Turner Company says: "Tliere appears to be quite an awakening among the farmers and truckers in this section, judging from the brisk demand for seeds so early in the season, and the outlook for a good business in this line for the on- suing year seems very bright. But there is a scarcity in some kinds of stock seeds, more especially with wax beans, cucumljors and rauskmclons, and prices will be high. It was at one time thought that the supply of seed peas would l>e short, but later reports are more en- couraging. Crops have been good and brought good prices, and the planters feel encouraged. Vegetables were of finer quality than has been the case for some years, owing, we think, more particular- ly to absence of the destroying insects. Tlie pea louse, which has been so de- structive, has almost entirely disap- peared. Because of good crops, good prices and comparative freedom from the insect pest, the planters are intending increasing their acreage for another year." Troy, X. Y. — The pumpkin seed croo looks very dubious for us around here. The farmers in our immediate vicinity usually have a, large surplus of "Conn. Keld" pumpkin, but this year the crop is as short as it was last seascn. We have thoroughly canvassed this section of the countrv', but can find iio pumpkin seed for sale at any price. At tlie can- ning factories farmers are receiving more than twice as much for their pumpkins as in former years. Recent visitors: James B. Kidd, with Cox Seed Co., San Francisco; Mr. Sloan, of D. L. Sloan & Son. Palo Alto, Cal.; John E, Goewey, of D. Landreth & Son, Philade'phia. Ottawa, Ont. — Graham Bros, say that in the pea district a hundred miles west of here, both peas and beans are exceed- ingly scarce. Timothy, which is produced in considerable quantities in the Prov- ince of Quebec, is not threshed out yet. Tlie price follows Chicago quotations. Clovers, lx)th Early Red and Alsike, in the clover district about two hundred miles west of here, are this season a fair crop and quality good. It is said that the demand for export to Europe is heavy. Philadelphia. — Charles H. IMacKub- bin says that his Arm, Henry A. I>reer, e.xpect to be able to meet the demand for nearly all vegetable seeds next season, except early peas, wax beans and cucum- bers. On these three he fears a short- age, especially on cucumbers. He does not think the advance in prices will de- ter the market from buying seed, al- though it may somewhat influence their choice of varieties and will make them more cautious. Speaking of market gar- dening, Mr. MacKubbin said that, while the very large profits of a few years ago could hardly be made todaj-, the business was a good one, yielding a fair margin of profit to the successful growers. Visited Chicago — J. M. Kimberlin, Santa Clara, Cal.; J. R. Home, of Cox Seed Co., San Francisco: C. X. Page, of Iowa Seed Co., DesMoines, lo. Charles P. Braslan, of the Braslan Seed (Jrower A.s.sociation, San .Jose, Cal., was suddenly taken sick with congestion of the lungs at Atchison, Kas.

The market is nearly all that could be wished for; tlriwers for funeral work are missed the most. Long-stemmed roses are fine, and enough to go around. In carnations white is the only colrir short.

The past week started out with a scar- city of stock, and continued dining all the wtek. Carnations headed the list in this respect, especially red ones, which were lar short of the demand. Whites were the most in evidence, but there were not nearly enough of them. In fancy pinks Dorothy was mast in evi- dence, but Enquirer and Lawson were the most sought for. There have been DO changes in the prices as quoted last week, except perhaps in the poorei' grades. Roses are in fair supply, with a larger jiorcenlage of good stock tlian at an'y time so far this season, but many more could be veiy easily disposed. tie IS making the first shipment of them this week. li.untsman & Co. are cutting some very nice poinsettias.

I regret greatly to report the death of the wife of John Ijodder, the well- known florist of Hamilton, Ohio.

I 'MMMMM^IMMMf^MWM A CHRYSANTHEMUM SERMON. Tlie Sunday prior to tlie opening of the Chicago exhibition the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones preached a "Sermon of the Chrysanthemum," and dedicated it to the Chrysanthemum Society of America and the Horticultural Society of Chi- cago. He said: "I plead with these societies to help us realize the demuciiuy nt beauty, the popular element in true art. The hunger of the human soul fcr the beautiful is universal. The love of flow.rs is planted deep iu child and woman's heart, whether they live on Halsted street or on Drexel boulevard. I want to see the time when the churehes in connection with the pub- lic schools will arrauKe for great floral ex- hibits among tlie children of our schools, the homes of our artisans, as well as in the cou- Bervatorie.s of the wealthy. Possibly among this artisan class today lies the sincerest love of flowers, tlie keenest appreciation of beautv found in Chicago. "Oh. there is a democrac.v in beauty! there Is character making power In flowers. Pa- triotism can l>e grown in a garden, ar.d we will never have true patriots and ^'reat states- men, much less Christians worthy the Nazarene leadership, until we democratize our tast.-s. convert these industries of leisures, these so- cieties iu the interest of the elegant, into democratic centers of the beautiful that will awake a passion for public weal."

Last week I insisted that there would be no cause to look for lower figures again until spring; but ever since then a stagnation lias existed that no cut in prices could break, unless the goods were very good indeed. In the latter case no cut in price was necessary, as everything in that class kept moving quite freely, there being reallv a limited supply of it. Thanksgiving day did give the chry- santhemum business a good farewell ben- efit, indeed. Tliere does not seem to be much left but the scrapings of the benches, and a two-dollar l>ill may be expected to surround the best twelve blooms nowadays. There is but little worthy of remark during the present state of things. Lilies have been out of the market for a week or two, but are now coming in slowly from Eaton's greenhouses, and selling well. Mignonette has made rather a slim showing so far, and is probably more scarce than anything else of a seasonable nature. The incorporation of the firm of Thom- as F. Galvin causes more comment than anything else just now. It was done un- der the laws of New Jersey, with a capi- tal stock of $250,000. Have you seen the fine new sidewalk tower clock at the Back Bay establishment? Under the pressure of the coal situa- tion several growers have experimented with some of the many forms of oil burn- ers in the market, but I hear of no real satisfaction from their use. Too, a pet way for them to do business seems to be to get a deposit with' the order and then appear to be too busy to install the ma- chine. J. S. Manteb. DOES BUSINESS.

Because we make a specialty of them: filling our houses in early April with the beat to be found in Europe, raised from lop cutting's only.

This is a seedlinff, the result of five gene- rations of Dodigree crossing: the original parentage helng the varieties Winter Cheer. Meteor, Triumph, Bridesmaid and Mrs. Jas. Dean. Color— A brilliant shade of deep cerise pink with a carmine or scarlet tinge at the center. The color is so brilliant that it is taken for a scarlet under electric light. Size— From H to 3!^ inches. Form— The center is full and high, sup- ported by broad guard petals of great sub- stance, forming a symetrlcal flower. Calyx— StronfT. well formed, and the petals stand well out from the calyx, thus avoiding all chance of bursting. Stem— Strong, averaging from 18 Inches to two ft. In length and holding the flower erect. HabU of growth is first-class in every res- pect: produces strong, vigorous plants, and thus far has not been affected to any extent with fungus diseases of any description. Constitution is healthy and vigorous. It la an early, free and continuous bloomer under ordinary culture, the firstblooms com- ing with stems of good length so tliat there i» none of the objection to the short stemmed flowers as is the case with the Mrs. Lawson. Under exactly the same treatment It will produce a third more blooms than Lawson, upon the same bench space, with stems averaging about six Inches longer. It possesses a strong, rich clove fragrance and sells upon the New York market at the top market prices. Having a large stock of plants (4000) we ^shall be able to guarantee full dell very during I lie inonthsof February and March.

The Saracens used orange blossoms to crown their brides, and regarded them as, the emblems of happiness and pros- perity. The fruit has also its associa- tion with the hymeneal altar, as the golden apple presented by .Jupiter to June on the day of their nuptials is sup- posed to have been an orange. In Sar- dinia it is customary to attach oranges to the horns of the oxen which draw the nuptial conveyance. Brides and bride- grooms also are sprinkled with oraiipe flower water, and in ancient times the bridal bed was decorated with sprigs of rosemary and orange blossoms. 'The Ger- mans, who use wreaths of myrtle, con- sider this vine symbolic of purity and fertility, and for the same reason the Roman bridegroom wore a crown of myr- tle, while the bride's wreath was of roses and myrtle. Jlyrtle was said to bo a favorite of Venus, the goddess of love, and is symbolic of lojp. In Prussia, however, it is held to* Ije an evil omen for a bride to plant myrtle, and in other parts of the German empire verbena wreaths replace t)ie myrtle. In other parts of this same country a hat made of verbenas is presented to the newmade wife, and is supposed to place her under the special protection of Venus Victrix. In former times rosemary was consid- ered the bridal flower, and was entwined in wreaths and dipped in scented water. In Ch'eeee the altar is entwined with iv and the priest presents a branch to both the bride and bridegroom as a symbol of the indissoluble knot of matrimony, while the wreaths of the bridal couple, are, in some parts of tliis land, composed of poppies. In old Eoman times, poppy wreaths were only worn by married wo- men, suppcsed to indicate, by their brightness, the joy and happiness of mar- ried life. In other parts of the Greek isles brides wear hyacinth wreaths in- stead of orange blossoms. In Tripoli all bridal gifts are sent covered with flowers. Rose crowns sometimes were worn as bride-wreaths, being especially love's flower, but the lily of the valley, now so often used as the bridal flower, was called virgin's tears and was eon.sidered most unluckv as a wedding flower. COST OF BUILDING. I desire inforaiation in regard to l)uilding greenhouses. Wish to know the cost of about three .50-foot houses, one for roses, one for carnation.s and the other for general stock. At least that is my idea of what I would need. Wish to raise a general stock to supply a town of 2.5,000. Please tell me what liouses of that kind would cost, witliout counting the land; also what it would coist to st.fK'k same, and what would be the best method of heating. Am I right in thinking I could get a good foreman at ,$(iO a month and house rent? J. H. S. As these liouses would l_>e used for dif- ferent plants at a varietl temjierature, and as the inquirer would look for only the best results which could come I Illy from the most approved fonn of construction, these houseii should be de- tarlied witli LS or 20 feet between the houses and upright or side light on both north and south walls. The length of these proposed houses is given, but no width; cost will naturally depend on that. We will suppose they are to be 50 feet long and from 18 to 20 feet wide, using cypress material for sash bars, red cedar posts and double thick glass. 16x24 in size, well heated with hot water, which is the better method for this size of r^nge. Before giving any figures I would like to say that labor enters quite largely into cost, and if you are at the mercy of a car])enter who never built a green- house, and you are not practical your- self, it will l>e a disadvantage. Yet, there are now so many thoroughly reli- able firms that make a specialty of greenhouse material and design that they will either supply you with all material ready to erect or put it up for you, which, if it cost.s some more, is quickliv and perfectly done. If the latter plan is followed I would rather not give figures, but if you are able to direct the work yoiu-self, and with handy men for your assistants, then $12 per lineal foot of greenhouse should complete the whole job. U'hat is for all material of every kind, heating, ventilating and benches all readyi to receive your stock. The cost of stock for these three houses is a more difficult question to answer. If you have no stock- to draw from, then ])ut down for roses, $75, for cama- tirais $50. As for the mixed stock for tlie third house, that would depend whether you were going into chiysanthe- mums, lilies, azaleas and bedding phmts, or choice young i>alms, Farleyense ferns and orchids. But the latter is not likely, so figure on $150 to start you off with a general assortment of desir- able stock. Sixty dollare per month and house rent should procure a very competent man to run a place of this size. If I have not made myself clear on cost I w-ill repeat that 150 lineal feet of greenhouse at $12 per foot is $1,800; connecting shed, $300; stock, ,$275; total, $2,375. There is no estimate here for oSice or safe, but possibly the proceeds in currency could be carried in your IKxketf; for the first year. In conclusion, while you are building make the houses 100 feet long each, for you are suie to do it latei- and at more expense. William Scott. PRIMULAS AND CYCLAMEN. We have on many occasions drawn at- tention to the great care with which Messrs. E. Webb and Sons, of Wordsley. Stourbridge, prosecute their business of florists and seedsmen. Wordsley cyclamens have long been famous for the profusion with which they bloom and the shapeliness of the specimens. The Perfection strain is re- markable for breadth and substance of petal, and for the very graceful form of the flowers. There are both red and white varieties, and both are of great excellence. For a white variety, how- ever, it would be difficult to improve upon Mont Blanc, which under good cul- tivation becomes a veritable mound of snowy blossoms. Rose Queen is charm- ing in hue, and forms a link between Mont Blanc and Vesuvius. The latter is a vivid eiimson-red variety of great beauty, and one that provides a splendid contrast to the pure white forms. Primulas are even more popular and more extensively grown than cyclamen, and at Wordsley they receive the atten- tion that their importance demands. Besides the Exquisite strain, in red and white, and the grand old Scarlet Em- peror, there are several varieties of won- drous beauty and freedom. Limits of space prevent a detailed account of the whole series of varieties, but mention must be made of such fine new forms as Snow Queen, which has prettily fringed flowers of purest white with orange center; Purity, one of the giant forms, white with large sulphur eye; Eosy Morn, light carmine rose, finely frilled; Modesty, white, shading to delicate pink when fully opened, splendid habit, and very easy to cultivate; and Blue Belle, a dwarf compact grower with light blue blooms. — Gardeners' Magazine.

SlZlkl & IIDA, M^ntlnn The Rfvlew whfn vr^u APHIS ON VIOLETS. I am liaviug trouble with lirown aph- ides in my violets which are grown in frames. I have a book on violets which describes hydrocyanic gas for hovises, but 1 don't" know whether it will work in frames, as they are so low that there is not room for jars and are more open than a, house, and gas is liable to es- cape before spreading ovei- tJie entire frame. I Iiave fifty sash in lots of ton each. Would like your advice, or any other remedv you may know. C. B. W. Possibly the sash is not more than 1 foot or 15 inches above the ground and it would be very awl-cward to use the gas. Still it might be done by sinking the jars into tlie ground. There would, 1 fear, be danger of the gas being quite dense near the jar and little felt at a distance from it. I can't say what for- mula C. B. W. has been using, but the following I used last winter, which destroyed the fly and did no harm to the violets; Five ounces cyaniile of potash, 1 cpiart sulph\iric acid. 1 quart water. This quantity for 2,000 feet of air space, and keep the ventilators closed all night. The formula we first gained knowledge of was the above quantities for 1,000 cubic feet of air, and to open the ventilators in one-half hour. If you attempt to use the gas in the frames where cubic air space is \ery limited it would be bet- ter to use but 2i ounces of the cyanide and 1 pint each of the acid and water. If taken in time, or if you had begun in early fall to dust the violets weekly with Sloothoft"s tobacco dust, you would have no aphis, either green, black or brown, and it will go far toward killing them now. Wait until the violets need more water, then after the foliage is dry, dust each plant and see that it is evenly and lightly spread. It is of course down in tlie heai-t of the plant among the very young leaves and buds that the mischief is done, but you must not smother the plants with the tobacco dust. After three days syringe the plants clean, and repeat the dose of dust in ten days. The tobacco dust that you get from the local cigar maker is not the thing. You will see in the advertising columns of the Review the quality you want, which I think is only $2 per 100 pounds. William Scott. I AM well pleased with the Eevjew. — F. F. Rentz, Madison, IS. J.

F. at the .January meeting and a.s there are a good many gootl things in the way of new carna- tions and rose.s and ])erliai)s a few otliei things in the state, there should be some lively competition. It calls for any new plant or lilooms that are not in com merce. Only members of the society an- eligible for eomijetition. I understand. There will be meetings in (he aftenioou and evening and a su])per will \w ar ranged for. A full attendance is ri- quested and much imjjortant business i- to come before the nu'i'ting. Batir & fSmith showed some blooni~ of their new pink carnatiim •Indian- apolis" and a few blooms of a line large scarlet named "Tlie Xews." The vari cty "Indianapolis" is a line bold llowi r of large size and good form and sup- ported by a strong n])right stem. The color is the brightest of pink carnations with not a trace of blue or yellow in i1. This is to l)e disseminated in in()4. We were favored a few days ago with a visit from that hustling young man from .Toliet. and with him' he had a bunch of as tine blooms as we have evei seen of a crimson carnation. They were of their new variety, Harlowardeii. and this mu.st he a wonderful variety. In produce such blooms this early. (U course, they won an order for some cut tings. Tlieir Her Majesty is another one you want to give a trial and 1 mis take if you do not add it to your list of standard varieties. Trade has been very good ever since ■niiims have l)een out of the wav and prices are stifl'eniug steadily on all kinds of stock. A very warm October and most of November has somewhat un- settled the growers" calculations for Christmas and in some lines st|dy is exiX'Ctedi. Begonia dc Lorraine is being grown in large r|uanti ties by the leading retailers and they find ready sale. Cyclamen are also in fine shape as also are poinsettias. Car- nations are fine in quality and quantity fair, roses the same. A. 1!. I COXS'iDER the Revikw indispensabi — Wallace W'. NASir, Jlontrose, Pa. Oovernor Lowndes. COLOR .Pure white.

HOT WATER CIRCULATION. 1 liavc! two housos 18x100, each lieated with two oveilicad -i-iiu-h pipes, each of which go \inder a hciich into thieo 4iiicli cast iron pipes. 'Hie ciiciilation is ex- ceeding-ly slow all around, under one bench particularly the cast iron pipes enches the east iron ])ipes get warm, but not to the degree they should. The overhead ]>ipes are very ,varm. Can you suggest a reason and a rem- edy for the pipes vinder the bencli re- maining cold half way? In general I think the three 4-incli east iron pipes on each 2-inch flow are too much to re- turn, yet only under one hench (on north side, too) do they icmain cold half way. KXQt'IItF.I!. Tlie trouble to which Enquirer refers may be due to several causes, the most probable being the fact that a 2-inch main, 100 feet long, is too small to sat- isfactorily feed 300 lineal feet of 4-inch cast iron pipes for returns, and also the want of sufficient direct vertical fall from the return main back to tnc boiler. I cannot advise definitely as to the best method of overcoming the troubles without more detail as to grades of pipes, depth of Iwiler below coils, size or capacity of boiler, size of mains from and to the boiler and arrangement of expansion tank and air vents. ITexry W. fiiniioxs. New Yoik. PIPING. Will six lines of 2-incli steam pipe heat a house 24x84, side walls 3 ft. and 7 ft. to peak? Xo glass in side walls. Pipes are on sides and overhead. Feed pipes are on each side, about 8 ft. apart, and returns are two lines on each line of side posts. Boiler is in end of house and get some heat from it.

With the six lines of 2ineh pipes full of steam at 4 or 5 U)S. pressure he can maintain 50 degrees in the greenhouse in the coldest weather. Two-incii jiipcs are not desiraWe for steam circulation.

Grand St., NEW YOnKi Fulton St., CHICAGO, 136 The Weekly Florists' Review* December 11, 1902. LOUISVILLE. KY. The advent of the cold snap and many receptions during the past weeK improved business to some extent, but am afraid that so much cloudy weather will cause it to decline again. Beauties will be scarce and bring top notch prices. Car- nations will be plentiful, also Romans, narcissus and violets. I'he regular monthly meeting of the Kentucky Society of Florists was held at Jacob Schulz's store on Deo. .3, at 8:30 o'clock and a good crowd was present. The election of officers took place and resulted as follows: Wm. Mann, presi- dent; Jacob Schulz. vice-president; Jos. Coenen, financial secretarj'; Hy. Lichte- feld, secretary; C. H. Kunzman. treas- urer; Jno. Bohrman. trustee. Tlie club is in good financial standing. .jJacob Schulz's carnation houses are almost like a wheat field — buds and flowers until the eye can see no more. His seedlings are very fine, having some very promising ones amongst them. C. H. Kunzman's new house is a beauty. His carnations are as fine as can be seen anywhere, Prosperity es- pecially being hard to beat. The Law- son is at homt-. here in fine shape, but his Enquirer tops them all in size, color and stem. Next season he will discard t"rane. Wliitc Cloud and Xorway, and instead grow Adonis, Enchantress. Gov. Wolcott and his red seedling. No. 0. Nanz & Neuner's estnhlishnient. out at St. Mathews, is in apple pie order. Tlieir American Beauties are in fine shape — deep in color and long stems. Wni. Walker is cutting some very fine Golden Gat« roses. He also has some very fine cyclamen in bloom. Wra. Mann, the Lily King, is as jolly as ever. He knows his bank account will swell considerably during Xmas week. Geo. Schiilz, of Goss avenue, is ver>- busy planting shrubs and trees. His plant department is in fip-top order. His Lilium Harrisii couldn't be better: scarcely any disease. !Mr. John Bohrman, of Jos. Coenen &• ('o.. will be married sixm. .John is very popular in the Highlands, and the flor- ists wish to congratulate him for win ning such a handsome bride to Iw. J. E. Marrett had the decorating for the Elks' memorial service. T. B. Rudy has moved into his new residence, which is a peach, and he is the happiest man in town. Mrs. Wood, mother of C. F. Wood, died in Virginia. Mr. Wood has the deep sympathy of his brother florists, who grieve with him for the loss of his mother. Martin Reukauf. representing H. Bay- ersdorfer & Co., Philadelphia, was a visi- tor. H. LlCHTEFELD. MANY REPLIES.

BASKETS OF CARNATIONS. Tlie accompanying engravings sliow fcjur baskets of carnations exhibited at the recent Chicago show. No. 1 is a canoe shaped basket of willow, filled with the light pink En- chantress on one side and with the dark- er pink JIarquis on part of the other side, the two varieties being mi.xed on the handle. Asparagus was used for green and some carnation foliage and quite a number of buds. Tliere is a bow of green ribbon on the lower front. This basket was the entry of .Tolin itangel and was arranged by myself. It was awarded first prize. No. 2 is a low round basket, very prettily filled with ilorning Glory car- nations, the foliage being asparagus and some ptcris ferns. It was the entry of T. D. ilosconesotes and was awarded second prize. No. 3 is an oblong basket of Lawson carnations, with their own foliage. It was massive and very striking. It was till' entry of 0. J. Friedman. No. 4 is a round basket of the light ] ink Enchantress, with carnation buds and foliage interspersed and asparagus on the handle. This was the entry of A. Lange. L. P. Walz. CARNATION NOTES-WEST. \Vc arc just now having a spell of weather which is extremely hard on oxir carnation plants. We have not seen the sun for two hours steady for a, good many days and the plants arc showing the cfi'ecis of the dark days. There is not that crisp appearance to the growth that you can see when the weather is bright and the plants are growing rapid- ly, but instead many of the varieties look soft and transparent and many stems are weak that really ouglit to hold up the blooms. Some varieties also are not keeping as well as they should and all these things can be remedied entirely only by a good spell of bright simny weather, and* I hope it comes lieforc Xmas, else there will be an awful lot of jioor rubbish on the market, waiting itor many good people who will go to sleep thinking of the pretty flow- ers they will have for. Xmas, only to Make up on Xmas morning to find that their pretty posies have also taken a nap and, alas, a nap from which they will never awake. During this sort of dark weather, when it is just cold enough to have to keep up steam both day and night, the grower is very apt to neglect a very im- portant thing in plant growing, and that is ventilating. To many growers a ventilator means nothing more nor less than a means of allowing the excessive heat to escape when the weather is warm and the sun is shining. They do not think of the fact that a plant breathes the air just the same as an animal does, and that it needs fresh air just as much. Keeping the temperature at a certain point is very important, but to keep the atmosphere pure and fresh is also very important. Raise the ventilators about an inch for two or three hours during the day, and if necessary turn on anoth- er pipe while they are raised and you will notice a dilTerence in your plants in short order. The longer you can keep the ventilators up the better it will be for the plants, but a few hours each day Mill do wonders. If the weather is cloudy during this week and next you should not attempt to force your plants very much, as it M'ould be ruinous to them. They will get so soft that your crop for a long with which carnation gro-wers have to contend. Whole benches of some vari- eties are swept oft' in a short time with no apparent remedy in sight. So then, it is evident that extreme care should be exercised in the choice of cuttings for next year's plants. Some growers complain that Lawson is running down, and if this be the case there must be a cause. I believe it more than likely that in the desire to increase stock of this grand variety, carefid selection has in many cases been lost sight of — in other words, any old thing that would root, passed. Over prop- agation and careless selection are two great factors in the weakening of any plant, be it a carnation or a rose. When the constitution is weakened the door is open for disease to enter. It is unnecessary for me to dwell upon the results to be expected from poor plants; you Mould prefer to read about healthy ones. I have ahvays agreed with our friend Dorner that the proper way to produce the ideal cutting is to grow plants for cuttings only. Of course, Basket of Carnatioas.

It is presumed you have decided M'hich varieties to continue for another year, bearing in mind that the same amount of space, soil, fuel and practically a like amount of time and labor is re- quired to grow inferior sorts as the later up-to-date ones. Wb hear this year a gi'eat deal about stem and dry rots. These tM'O things seem at present to be the greatest evils you Mould let them bloom early in the season for obvious reasons. The average grower of carnations for cut blooms and he who propagates for his OM'n use ouly,may not feel disposed to de- vote space and plants for this purpose, but rather than take cuttings from among the plants promiscuously, a much better plan M'ould be to keep a sharp lookout for a number of the most healthy plants among your stock, mark them, and at the proper time cut them back. The cuttings from these stock plants if kept healthy and those taken from the stem of a perfect bloom M-ill give you as good cuttings as can be had. It will not be necessary to sacrifice many plants in folloM'ing this method as a good many 144 The Weekly Florists^ Review, I>Eri:.MBi:ii IS. I'MfJ cuttings can l>e obtained from a vigor- ous plant and when we consider the qual- itj' of the stock, instead of there being a sacrifice, we liave made a gilt-edged investment. It is not good policy to hold a cent so close to the eye that a dollar can not be seen at arm's length. Kcfcrring to my notes of September 18, }^ou will notice under "cutting back" that in cutting a slioot before the bud is well set. tlie result is apt to be a clump of weak shoots on account of the stem being short-jointed. These are not ideal cuttings any more tlian a bloom tliat has not been disbudded is an ideal one. thei-cfore in cutting back let the buds attain a diameter of at least three- eighths of an inch before putting them under the knife. Hope to give vou more on this sub- ject next week. ' ^^^_ g^ q^^^^^_ ROSES. Seasonable Hints. Propagation of roses foi- indoor cul- ture by grafting being comparatively new in this countr}-, is as yet very limited In its practice, and has been resorted to with the view of increasing the root ac- rose of a very vigorous habit. These are imported in large quantities in a dor- mant condition and usually reach this country early in November. They are now also raised in this country. There are other stocks which many growers claim are "just as good." The ilanettis should be potted in 2J- incli pots early in December and placed on a light and airy bench in a tempera- ture of 40 degrees, syringing them free- ly every bright day, and keeping the roots rather on the dry side. These are not fit to be operated upon until root ac- tion is well started and the eyes begin to swell. The wood to be used as scions should be of similar size and quality as that used for cuttings and should be selected with the same discrimination and care. The stock should be cut back, leaving ju.'it suflicient wood to be easily worked on. The nwde of grafting used is largely a matter of taste, each grower having his own favorite style, the main object being to effect a neat union as expeditiously as possible. A fundamental principle which applies to every method of graft- ing is the necessity of forming a direct communication between the layers of in- Basket of Carnations. No. 2. tion of those varieties which are natu- rally weak on their own roots or which have begun to deteriorate from continual forcing, Tlie first essential towards successful grafting is to have a properly construct- ed frame or pit in which to place the stock after the operation is performed. A frame suitable for this purpose can be built at a very small cost by board- ing up a bench back and front in such a way as to conserve the heat and make it practically air tight, and which has sufficient piping to maintain a tempera- ture of 75 or 80 degrees under any con- ditions, and having tight-fitting glass sashes to cover it with, as during the first ten days they must be kept very close and warm. The stock for grafting on most gen- erally used is the Manetti, an Italian ner bark in each of the parts to be united. The style most generally in use is side grafting, cither with or without the tongue, and is performed somewhat in the following numner: In order that the parts may be quite fresh the stock should not be cut until the graft is ready for insertion; the scion should be cut obliquely, the cut to be from } to 1 inch in length and the cut on the stock to be of a similar length, shape, and if pos- sible of the same width. A thin tongue can be cut on the scion with an upward cut and one of similar size on the stock with a downward cut in such a position that the tongue will fit in its place and hold the scion. Care must be taken that the inner barks come in direct contact with each otlier when pressed together. It is nec- essary to have a keen edged knife so that the cuts are cleanly made, a.s this fa- cilitates perfect fitting and union takes place much more readily. Wlien the parts have been fitted as accurately as possible they should be bound together with raffia or some substitute that can be wrapped firmly without cutting into the bark. They should then be placed in the frame, the tops of the plants about six inches below the glass of the sash, and syringed lightly. The frame should be kept closed for the first ten days and a steady temper- ature of 75 degrees maintained, opening the frame each morning for a few' min- utes to freshen the air and get rid of su- perfluous moisture in the frame. Shad- ing will also have to be carefully at- tended to during this period. At the end of ten days they will be in a fit state to stand a little ventilation, and should only get about one inch, which can be gradually increased for the next fifteen days, when they can be taken out of the frame and placed on a bench in a tem- perature of 05 degrees, which can be gradually decreased until 58 degrees is reached. They ought to be shaded for a few days if the weather is bright. The whole operation occupies about three weeks' time. Ribes. ROSE TROUBLES. I send you a plant of Bridesmaid Rose, which appears to be diseased. Please let me know through the Review what is the trouble. I have lost about 20 plants out of 275. They have died out in patches and the plant sent is from a corner that has once before been replanted. Several that were taken up and potted have recovered, W, H. After a very careful and minute exam- ination of the specimen sent I failed to find the slightest trace of any disease. If the drainage is in any way imper- fect one part of the l)ench may dry out more rapidly than others, especially in the corners where the heat is partly con- fined, and may become so dry as to in- jure the roots before it is detected. I may be mistaken but the specimen bears every e\idence of having died simply from want of water. It would be much easier to give cor- rect .answers to questions submitted if the inquirer when stating his trouble would mention the varieties he is having trouble with, and give a little informa- tion about attending conditions, such as quality of compost, taniperature and gen- eral treatment. BiBES. ADIANTUM CUNEATUM. There is no_ better nor more useful fern for florists' use than A, cuneatum, and there is a large and ever increas- ing demand for well grown fronds. To produce these in profitable quantities it is better to devote an entire house to this purpose, as it is nearly impossible to obtain the conditions suited to its proper culture in any other way. As it requires abundant supplies of water when producing a crop of fronds, it is essential that the drainage of the bench should be as nearly perfect as possible. Between crops water has to be given sparingly to keep the soil from souring. The bench should be at least six inches deep and filled flush. A com- post of two parts fibry loam and one part peaty soil, with another part com- posed of leaf mould, well rotted cow II Decembek is. 1902. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 145 Basket of Carnations. No. 3. manure and sand in equal proportions 'thoroughly incorporated, suits it adr mirably. As this fern is very impatient of heat at the roots the pipes should not be under the benches but removed as far from the bench as is convenient. To pro- duce large perfect fronds in paying quantities a temperature of 62° to 05° is required during the night, rising to 72° or 70° during the day, maintaining a rather close and moist atmosphere. As the fronds approach their full size the temperature should be gradually re- duced till it reaches 55° nights and 65° during the day; this will mature the fronds, prepare them for shipping pur- poses, and make them really useful to the retailer. Draughts being very injurious to the young aud tender fronds, it is better to have the benches as far removed from the ventilators as possible; in fact they seem to grow more lu.Kuriantly if the benches are quite close to the floor, and particularly so in a house the floor of which is a foot or two below the level of the surrounding surface. To obtain a rich green color on the fronds and to keep the plants in a growing condition, it is necessary to shade dui-ing summer, beginning to shade lightly early in the spring and deepening the shade as the season advances up till September, when the shading should be gradually re- moved. They require very little shade during winter. The largest and handsomest fronds are those produced by seedling plants. Plants from 2i-inch pots make excellent stock for benching and to insure a good cut during the winter these should be benched in June, watering liberally and keeping the atmosphere of the house very moist during summer. A quicker and less expensive way of securing stock is to break up the old plants into small pieces, pot into 2J-inch pots and give a good start previous to benching, but they seldom give the same satisfaction as young stock. To improve the quality of the fronds during summer a mulch of well decomposed cow manure broken up fine and spread between the rows one- half inch thick should be applied before the hot weather begins. There are few plants which respond so readily to an application of liquid food as this does if applied at the right sea- son. When the young fronds are 4 or 5 inches long and before they begin to un- furl is the right time to commence with liquid feeding, which must be discon- tinued as soon as the fronds are full}' expanded. This plant has also its insect enemies, snails and sow bugs being the most de- structive. With a little care and trou- ble both of these can be easily destroyed. To catch the snails, traps in the form of cabbage leaves or old half rotten boards should be placed between the rows. With the first peep of daylight the snails will go to cover beneath these and they can then easily be collected and destroyed each morning. Sow bugs are readily destroyed by spreading finely sifted bran mixed with paris green along the edges of the i)enches. To keep greenfly in check a light mulch of chopped up to- bacco stems will answer the purpose; even a very light smoking with tobacco will be sure to injure the young fronds. RiBES. A TRIP TO LAFAYETTE. When we hear any one mention the name Lafayette we think of Dorner, and when we think of Dorner. we are think- ing of carnations. Having promised my- self and wife an unusual treat we took the morning train for Lafayette and ar- rived at Dorner's about 10 o'clock. The weather was bad, but if they know you are coming you need not worry about a way to get to their place, for their car- riage is always in waitlnjf. Mr. Dorner, Sr., took us first of all for a look through the seedling houses, knowing well that they would be by far the most interesting part of the place. I have seen seedlings on many places and in large quantities, but never have I seen such system and orderliness as is found here. As you go through the houses and notice an extra fine one here and another there and notice their resemblance to some well known variety, perhaps in habit or bloom, Mr. Dorner will pull a small note-book from his pocket and in a jiffy he will tell you whether there was any blood of that va- riety introduced in many generations back. Keeping these records entails a lot of work, but it is certainly a nice thing to be able to refer to them, and Mhere this work is carried on as exten- sively as it is here it surel.v pa.vs, too. Just to give you an idea of its extent, Jlr. Dorner told me that last spring he planted in the field 8.000 seedling car- nation plants. Out of these 2.200 were brought to flower again. From last year they have nearly 300 varieties in their second year and of thcMr in their third and fourth there are several houses full. Tliere are all colors and styles, and it would be hard to mention a color or combination of colors that you could not find here. Among the most promising is a white under number 123-1900, and in fact it has already shown its super- iority by winning at Kansas City and Chicago this fall. For a money- making fancy white, I could not think of anj- way that it might be improvea upon. There are many others, however, that are fine, too, and it would be im- possible for me to give you even a small part of the good ones. Go and see them for yourself. Two varieties are to be disseminated next spring, and both are worthy a trial by every grower. Sibyl is a very pleas- ing shade of bright pink of good size and on a strong stem. The growth of this variety is just about ideal, upright and extremely free. !Mr. Dorner tells me that the variety is never oft' crop from early in the season until late in the spring. The other is named Penelope and is a white of good size and on good stems and very free. Mr. Dorner says this variety is of extra value be- cause it is the earliest one he has ever seen and it will make a fine summer va- riety. Yes, I was fortunate enough to see a few blooms of Fiancee, most of the blooming shoots having been taken off. That it is a grand carnation you al- ready know, for did it not win in open competition with the best varieties in existence at Chicago? It is one of those things which ^-ou can only stand and ad- mire and when you come away you wonder how such a variety was ever produced. It will take a large stock to supply the demand when this variety is put on the market. One of the things I wanted to see was how their Alba were doing, and I was surprised at the size of their plants and the crop of buds and blooms and I am more convinced than ever that if prop- agated early this will be a profitable va- riet.v. Apollo and Stella also show up in fine form, as do many others of their varieties and others in thei standard classes. I never saw a healthier and cleaner lot of plants than theirs and nearly every bench is full of buds and blooms. There is an immense stock of plants for propagating only. These are planted on benches separate from the others and all the blooming shoots are kept picked oflf and all the young shoots are used for cuttings, in which this firm does an immense trade. Their propagating house is modern in every way, ■ivith brick bottom benches, etc. This firm does not work only in car- nations, however. Tliere are houses full of all kinds of decorative and blooming plants for a retail trade, of which they have all they can handle. Miss Emily and!

After looking through -the 60,000 square feet of glass in 21 houses we sat down to a bountiful dinner, gotten up as few people outside of our good German housekeepers can. You can see good management and good taste all through this establishment, from the front gate and the residence way down to the boiler pits. After dinner we were well entertained until it was time to go to the train, and when we came away we had only the very kindest recollec- tions of our visit to this happv famiiv of florists. A. F. J.'Baur. " MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Lilies. I have been asked a question or two by a subscriber of the Keview, and as they are seasonable, I will attempt to answer them under this head. ]\rr. Jones has mixed up his questions in rath- er an entangling manner, but with pa- tience we decipher the following: "Can Harrisii lilies potted November 1, and which are now four inches high, in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees, be got in Hower by Easter?" We would say that, being 4 inches high now, they are all right for Easter, and 55 at night will do for another month or six weeks. After that they may need 65, or at least 60, for the remaining time. Azaleas. The next question is what time to start azaleas for Easter. Jilr. J. says: "They are in 40 to 45 at night and have buds on now." Possiblj- the plants that have formed buds are the varieties wo force for Christmas, and which without any forcing will develop their buds. If he has plants of Deutsche Terle or Simon JIardncr showing color, put them into more heat and give them plenty of water, and they ought to sell during the month of January. Properly speaking, there is no starting of azaleas for Ea.st- er. On the contrary, with many of the best varieties we have often to re- tard their growth by keeping them in a very cool house. You can't do any bet- ter with the plants you want in (Icuwer for Easter than keep them in a house which is 40 at night. The natural in- crease of heat as the season advances will bring them along plenty fast enough. Hydrangeas. Next come hyprangcas, and Mr. Jones asks what time to start them for East- er. He has them dry and cool now. I hope not too dry. Cool is all right, and if they had a little frost to ripen up the wood, so much the better. Start the hydrangeas at once in a night tem- perature of 50 degrees, and by middle of February you can increase it to 55 or 60 degrees. I have seldom seem hy- drangeas too early when forced for Easter. If they were lifted and potted from the field in October, they will want no more shifting, but if groftvn in pots and full of roots, they will want a shift, and use a good, heaNn?" loam with a fourth of manure and well packed down. Dahlias. Another subscriber asks a question, not so seasonable for this latitude, for dahlia roots are now resting beneath a bench in a cool house; but in Tennessee where the inquiry comes from they may be only just digging them up. ''Are the tubers that break off the stalks of dah- lias in digging of any use?" Dahlia roots are qften divided and started in the spring, and one tul)er that had an eye or leaf bud would make a fine plant, but without this btid or eye it would be of no use. I don't think the dahlia tuber has eyes, as the potato has, except at the top or where it adheres to the stalk. Begonia Lorraine. Before you sell all your Gloire de Lorraine begonias put in a gooong Island florists are responding generously; and the suggestions for taking interest in the meeting, and the prophesy made by Mr. Hartshorne as tn this being the ban- ner convention, will undoubtedly be re- alized. Tlie association will not be dis- appointed if the banquet finds 500 par- ticipants. The Market. The past week has been one of vicis- situdes; almost zero weather at its be- ginning, snow and slush in the center, and a miniature blizzard at its close. Up the Hudson the temperature was be- low zero, and many of the shipments of violets were frozen. This week opens better. The weather is cool and sea- sonable, and stock of all kinds may be safely shipped without fear of frost. The inevitable dullness of the holi- day season is upon us. The Cliristmas shoppers are too busy purchasing Christ- mas presents and sending them, to give time to the .Tsthetic. and so it will be very nearly Christmas day before the lethargy departs. In the meantime the plantsmen are taking advantage of the milder weather to stock the retail stores with their blooming products, and grad- ually the retail display is assuming its old time holiday attractiveness, and it will undoubtedly be a great plant Christmas, the only trouble being the shortness of superior goods, the demand, not only here, but from out of town, having been enormous. The record prices on loses and car- nations of two weeks ago have not held as was anticipated. Our quotations in- dicate the average prices that are now received, although here and there in smaller quantities some extra fine or "special" stock, as we call it, may de- mand very nearly what the wholesaler may decide to ask for it. Tlie queen of autumn has resigned her throne for the season. Orchids maintain their value, and the supply is not too great for the demand. Fancy carnations, and in fact all good stock, in this line, command fair prices, $2 per 100 being about the lowest asked for anj-thing respectable. The present week opened with a slight appreciation in prices of some things, which ilondays invariably show, to be followed doubtless by depression and waiting. Xext Monday will undoubtedly see a change for the lietter. The whole- salers are quietly preparing for the an- ticipated rush and the indications are of no serious shortage for the holidays and no unreasonable prices. T^ast week the New York market re- port was accidentally omitted and it contained some items that are needed to keep our record accurate. It told of an almost 50 per cent drop in violets and roses. Also an explanation of some of the quotations. Occasionally I have noted especially high prices for some things, away above the average. It is hardly necessary to say that such quo- tations occur with reference to so small a quantit}' of flowers that they could easily become misleading, and while they may, with perfect truth, be announced, the small selection of such "specials" place them apart from the general mar- ket entirely, while their sale depends on special holidays, or some entirely un- expected demand. The general market has its average — always below an acci- dental development. Notes. Mr. Ward's new book on the carnation will be published in .January, and will be a most exhau.stive work. Inquiries and orders are already numerous. Papa Zeller. of Flatbush, is not as well as usual and much anxiety is felt as to his condition. Some of the giowers of this suburb during the extreme cold weather of last week decided to utilize the oil-heating system, and serious results arc reported. The coal question in the East is a very serious one: in Xew York and its sub- urbs especially, the short supply is mainly felt. A scarcity of the Boston fern is in evidence and not half enough to supply the winter demand is to be found in this vicinity. Quite a large numlier of the Anna Foster fern in 0 and V-inch pots are Ijeing used, the two making fine companions, one hel])ing to sell the other. Mr. Ward has a specialty this Christ- mas.

The American Institute's Januarj' meeting at the Berkeley Lyceum will be addressed by Professor Johnson on "In- >ect Pests and Their Control." Messrs.

The Xew York Bowling Club has "sus- pended business" until after the holi- days, when it will reorganize, with new alleys, and doubtless interesting addi- tions to its membership, so that it may Ije able to give a good account of itself at the Jlilwaukee tournament. Everyone seems pleased with the Re- vrew's excellent Christmas number. Things are booming with Alex. J. Guttman ; one-third increased facilities, electric lights and excellent stock of Brides, Maids and fancy carnations. J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, was a visitor on Monday, with his fine sam- ples of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, which he displayed in J. H. Small & Son's windows. The retail stores are beginning to dress in holiday garb, and next week we can tell jou how the leaders manage to make their windcws attractive and seasonable. Thorley already has his novelty — a handsome trunk for cut flow- ers— while his windows and ceilings are gay with bells and balls, and devices in red. J. Austin Shaw. BUFFALO. We have had our usual Decemljer bliz- zard, and while we hear from a friend in Philadelphia that they had a sleet stoiTU witli a little snow on top, we had two days' howling snow storm, de- laj'ing trains and causing other incon- veniences. It is gone and I hope will remain gone until over New Years. There is every prospect of a gay sea- son among those who have plenty of the ready to disburse. Several large entertainments and many smaller ones are booked. They will have these balls on Christmas day, or the day before or after. This is trying with the u.-5ual Christmas trade as well. The "Good- year" wedding, an elaborate and beauti- ful affair, was finely done by \V. .T. Palmer & Son. Flowers have about reached their Christmas price, and are none too plen- tiful, but we are trusting to our enter- prising Mr. Kasting to fill all wants. During a visit to his large and varied establishment, consisting of office, sales counters, private office, warehouse, cel- lars, wire-working shops, etc.. I was standing on a box in the rear of the sales place the other day when some- thing struck me on the side of the head, and when I came to I found that two ten dollar bills wrapped around seven silver dollars had collided with my bump of veneration in its flight to the cashier. Not every commission florist has this up-to-date method of handling his cash sales. But. without joking, W. I'". K. has an immense stock of holly, laurel, ground pine and all the other requisites of merry Xmas. Several visitors have honored us of late, young Mr. Fancourt. in the in- terest of S. S. Pennock and his fine as- sortment of ribbons; Mr. Cornell, taking import orders for August Rhotert, and to our surprise and great pleasure, ^Messrs. Walker & McLean, of Youngs- town, Ohio. I suppose they both needed a little let up before the battle, which soon will be on. Tliey are men of a widely different type, but l)Oth lively, and an hour or two spent with them is a rest which refreshes you. Another sur- prise was the sudden appearance of that veiy bright little man. ilr. Harts- horne, of Joliet, 111. A carnation talk with him is a treat, for he does not cram you full of his exact knowledge or positive assurance that all his methods are right and infallible, and yet he knows a lot about carnations, as his efTorts at culture and the varieties he is sending out will testify. We regret to know that our Louis H. Xeubeck is confined to the house with sickness, and hope he will speedily get to business again.

PHILADELPHIA. TheMarket- The eut flower market was a little depressed towards the close of last week. Conditions improved on Satur- day and have kept on improving during tlie early part of this week. Indications point to a continuance of favorable con- ditions this week with promise of an enormous increase in business next week. It is diflicult to forecast Clirist- mas prices, but the probability is that thev will be about the same as last sea- son, probably a little higher on some fancy stock and probably a little lower on poorer grades. There is reason to believe the supply will be large and much of it very fine. To return to the present. Beauties are quite plentiful and sell well. Tlie better grade of tea roses also sell well, but ihev can not be called plentiful as compared with the poorer grades. White carnations are in brisk demand, also red. which are less plentiful. Pink are used freely, but there are too many of them in proportion to the other colors. Vio- lets are vcrv scarce, so scarce that there seems risk 'of their disaiipearing alto- gether, but perhaps they are saving up for Christmas and will bloom like good fellows then. It is only fair to say, however, that there is much disease among the singles, causing the growers a lot of worrv. Valley is in demand: more could be used. Paper whites sell slowly but Romans go better, thanks to the shortage in white carnations. Plants. The business in blooming plants is in a very active state. Robert Craig & Son have "virtually sold all their fine cycla- mens and Lorraines. William K. Har- ris has found an excellent demand for his berried plants. Several houses of holly and Aucuba .laponioa are fast emptying. He also has a house of the dwarf Otaheite orange and a lot of aza- leas in small sizes — Simon jMardner. Deutsche Perle and Verva>neana. H. H. Battles has a fine large house filled with Euphorbia Poinsettia in good shape. A crreat many other growers also have blooming plants ready for the holi- davs. . Tlie foliage plant business is not en- tirely satisfactory. Probably more fo- liage plants were" sold than last season. If that is true there were a great many more growers. Speaking generally, the lar^e sizes are the best stock to-day. • Some varieties are entirely too numerous for the market in the smaller sizes— say 4, 5 and 0-inch. Still the conditions are by no moans discouraging: it is more tiian likely that another month will see an impvnvonient. Notes. The Philadelphia Carnation Company is to be the name of a new business en- terprise to be started with the new year. The active partners willbe Harry "Crawford and Horace T. Diimont. Two houses ovei- 200 feet long and 20 feet wide will be built on the country place of Robert Crawford, Jr., at Secane. Car- nations will be the specialty. It is planned to have everything ready for next fall. Harry Crawford is a son of Robert and is a "young man of promise. He is now with the firm of Dumont & Co. „ Leo Niessen is receiving vciy line Beauties in quantity. Eugene Bernhcimer is handling lyco- podium. Mark Mills says that the new flower market has made" a wonderful record in its first six weeks of business. J A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, was in town this week.

Guess the public was too busy watch- ing the empty coal hod to stop to look at a flower! Everj'thing has been running a bit shv, too, except roses, so the situation averages up veiy weill. Business is never "good either a few days before or just after a holiday, so what can be expected when it is just after one holi- day and just before another? But we will attract more or less attention soon. Tlie cold snap was a good stilT piece of work. Jlonday night was a record- breaker for sixteen years, and the cold- est December night' for nineteen years. A dozen or more" frozen greenhouses, as many frozen boxes of cut flowers, the same number of frozen ears and a few frozen retail stores were among the re- sults. As the few growers who came into the market that morning arrived and reported thermometer figures, from 6 to 20 below was given, the latter coming from Xeedham l>v way of Denys Zirn- n-iebel. Later Mr. Elliott rejiorted IS below at his New Hampshire rose houses, which stood the test nobly. \bout all the coal in the state was burned and it has been lapped up ever TheMarket- \t time of writing business is rather quiet and the moderate supply is sulb- cient to meet most demands. By the time this reaches our readers Christmas prices will be practically in effect, and the principal matter of interest will be the supplv for Christmas. The weather has been very unfavor- able and the chances for an adequate supplv of first-class stock have grown dimm'er. Wo have had an unpleasant alternation of cold and then sloppy weather and with practically no sun- shine, and it is now too late to have any appreciable effect should the weather change for the letter. A large per- centa'ce of the stock now received is sott and tiabbv. with weak stems and the usual sav'ing up for a holiday will cer- tainly badlv aggravate the situation. VI course there is good stock to be had, but it is a small proportion of the stock rewivcd and the average in quality is much below what is usual at the season. The chances are that of the receipts for Christmas trade not over one-third will be of first-class shipping grade, and those who must have good stock would be wise to get their orders in early. There will probably be plenty of sott undergrade stock and those who can use this grade can afford to wait until the market is loaded with it. as it prob- ablv will be at the last by the niis- .nii'ded individuals who every year hold back their consignments until too late to market them "to advantage. But roses and carnations will not be the whole thins. Encouraging reports come from the poinsettia growers. Iven- nicott Bros. Co., E. II. Hunt and Me- Kellar &. Winterson all have promises of hca\-v consignments of poinsettias, the last" named firm saying they will have 3..100. And by the way '"Flame flower" is a good popular name for these showA- Christmas flowers. Ml". Scott would remind us that it is the colored bracts and not the flowers that are showv. But the head of bloom, with its surrounding bracts can be called a flower for coinmercial purposes. Of other flowers, esjecially bulbous there will undoubtedly be the usual Christina'^ supplv. But on first-class roses and carnations only those who or- December 18, IOCS.

The residence of Fritz Bahr, of High- land Park, was entirely destroyed by fire last Monday morning, the fire start- ing at tj o'clock. It spread so rapidly that Mr. Bahr was obliged to drop his children one by one from a sec- ond story window into the arms of neigh- bors, and then to lower his wife and jump himself. The fire destroyed the house in less than half an hour. The greenhouses were not injured. Mr. Bahr carried insurance of $2,000 on the house and contents, but this will fall far short of covering the loss. There was an open grate fire in one of the rooms, and it is thought that the fire may have start- ed from sparks from this, as when dis- covered the floor was all ablaze. Mr. Bahr's many friends will deeply sym- pathize with hinii in his misfortune. McKellar & Winterson have received a very large supply of the popular red winter berry of very fine quality. Sprays of these make a fine addition to arrange- ments of plants and flowers, as well as associated with the usual Christmas greens. Wietor Bros, are cutting some belated chyrsanthemuras of very good quality. Tiieir cut, of Norway carnations is large and they consider it the best white car- nation to date. Kate Bassett Washburn, wife of C. L. Washburn and daughter of O. P. Bas- sett, died at Alma, Mich., last Friday, and was laid at rest in Hinsdale, 111., on Sunday. Mr. Washburn and Mr. Bassett have the sincere sympathy of all in their bereavement. Tlie heater in the delivery wagon ot Wra. Kalous set fire to the wagon last week and some little damage was done before the fire could be extinguished. The stove became overheated and set fire to the paper wrappings of some plants. Fire did serious damage to the green- houses and residence of Wm. Beaudry Dec. 8. The loss is estimated at $4,500 and is fully covered by insurance. It is reported in the daily press that the park employes are organizing a labor union of florists and gardeners. The expi-ess companies have issued a circular to shippers announcing that the new rate of one and one-half mer- cliandise rates on cut flowers went into eflect Dec. 10. It is understood that the increase is due to the number of claims for damage on account of freez- ing and miscarriage, and that shippers who will waive right to claim damages may still secure the single merchandise rate. The minimum charge for single packages has also been raised and the shipper of small packages will be at a disadvantage. Julius Schnapp has gone to Joliet to take charge of the cut flower department of Wilcox & Co. Mr. E. J. Fancourt, representing Samuel S. Pennock, Philadelphia, was a visitor last week. He reports an ex- cellent business in ribbons, of which this house makes a specialty. On Wednesday we were favored with some sunshine and the weather was clear and cold. Should this weather continue stock may be stiffened up a little and the general average of quality be raised. Edgar Sanders continues to improve and is now able to walk around his room a little each day, with the aid of a cane. J. W. Hulsizer, of the Hulsizer Co., Des Moines, la., was a recent visitor. Christmas Greens. An unusually brisk demand for holly, wreathing and Xmas trees is shown in the numerous telegraphic and long dis- tance phone orders from nearly every leading eastern and western city. Pepper boughs from Southern Califor- nia find read.y sale at 50 cents per pound. Tlie Chicago daily press is paying par- ticular attention this season to the Xmas decoration business, the Chicago Tribune having descriptive articles in its last two Sunday issues. The increased demand for Christmas decorative matertal of all kinds is well demonstrated by the fact that one Chi- cago house (W. W. Barnard & Co.) paid nearly $5,000.00 for freight alone on holly, green, etc. As predicted in a former issue, there will be an immense lot of bouquet green that is still held in the Wisconsin woods on speculation, absolutely go to waste, as time will not allow shipping it to the market. At a conservative estimate there are over 60,000 pounds in the hands of Wisconsin packers. This cer- tainly is a wholesome lesson to them for another season. ONCINNATL The Market. The sharp cold snap that was with us last week had a tendency to make stock scarce. Especially was this true of carnations, which were way short. Eeds were most in demand and many orders had to be turned down. Whites were about equal to the demand, but there were hardly enough pink. There was scarcely any .real fancy stock. Sat- urday saw everything in the way of carnations well cleared out, with the average price about one cent higher than the previous week. Roses have been doing very nicely. There was a goodly supply of Al stock, which sold on sight and brought top market prices. The seconds and thirds 152 The Weekly Florists' Review* Decembek 18. 1902. did veiy well, especially in white and light pink, which were quickly taken up for funeral work. More American Beauties are to be had than heretofore and they are good property. Violets are the most sought after flower at present, and are very scarce. There was a sharp advance in price, or- dinary giades selling at from 50 cents to $1 per 100, and fancy reaching $2. There seems to be no chance for an immediate increase in the supply of this flower, and indications are that the price will mount again this week. Harrisii lilies follow violets veiy close- ly, as to supply and demand. As to supply prospects for Christmas, carnations in all grades will be scarce. Roses will in all probability be equal to the demand in all grades, except se- lects, which will be short. Several large growers are well in it with American Beauties and .a large cut is anticipated. Violets will be scarce, as at present. There will be plenty of bulbous stock. Notes. The regular meeting of the Florists- Club was held Saturday and was very interesting. Considerable business was transacted. E. G. Gillett and Albert Sunderbruch were appointed to repre- sent the club in the Fall Festival Asso- ciation. The increase in express rates on cut llowcrs w^as taken up by the club and it was finally decided to confer with florists of other cities to see if anything can be done to have the new rate re- pealed. Leo Temming was elected a member. Ed. Bissel. formerly with the Jlianil Floral Co., of Dayton, Ohio, is now with Huntsman & Co., Ft. Thomas. Ky. John Evans dropped in for a few hours on his way home from Dayton, Ohio. E. G. Gillett took a flying trip to New Castle and Richmond, Ind., and reports stock looking fine. Julius Baer and Charlie Jones ran over to Richmond to have a look. Mr. Weltz, of Wilmington. Ohio, and Mr. Fancourt, of Philadelphia, were re- cent visitors. C. J. Ohmer. ST. LOUIS. Trade Conditions. Trade in cut flowers improved con- siderably the past week, owing to a large amount of funeral work, which with Christmas work in immortelles, cape flowers and wreathing, kept the retail- ers quite busy. The wholesale market was well supplied with all kinds of stock in cut flowers, and carnations and roses went begging. Of course Al stock is always in demand, but everything that looked like seconds was left over. It is hard to tell this early as to the supply of Christmas stock and prices on same. From the way stock is coming in just now one would think there will be plenty of everything, but, unfortu- nately for St. Louis, many of the ship- pers 'to this market do a retail busi- ness at home and naturally need most of the stock for their trade during the holidays. This keeps the wholesalers in hot water, being uncertain until the last moment as to what their shippers will send in. The West End florists, who do a large trade in plants, seem well supplied this year. Among the best sellers is cycla- men, trade in which is immense at this time of the year. Primula grandiflora fimbriata, really beautiful in growth and flower, also has a good sale. Then comes that grand seller. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, which with poinsettias in pans are now to Christmas what azaleas are to Easter — simply indispensable. All these ferns and palms make fine displays in the show houses of the West End florists and many orders are booked ahead, indicating a clean sweep in ev- erything in this line by Christmas day. Club Meeting. The last meeting of the year of the St. Louis Florists' Club, held on last Thursday afternoon, was poorly attend- ed, owing to the failure of Secretary Schray to send out notices. Tlie meet- ing opened at 3 o'clock with fourteen members present and all the officers in their chairs. The final vote was taken on changingtthc hour of meeting and the result was that after this tlie meeting will open at 2 p. m. promptly. This gives our suburban and out-of-town members more time, as they often had to leave the meeting before it closed. Henry Berniiig, C. A. Kiiehn and Frank Ellis were ap])ointed a committee to sc?e the express companies in regard to lower charges on flowers from the consignors, which has almost doubled. The club will give an entertainment for its members and their families in February. The committee in charge is composed of J. J. Beneke, V. M. Ellis and Frank Fillmore. The talent will be made up from the members and their families. Refreshments and dancing will be features. Mayor Halstedt, of Belleville, left his busy office to attend the meeting and brought a few seedling carnations. A fine white (cross between McGowan and Flora Hill), and a large pink (cross be- tween McGowan and Daybreak), which the judges, Messrs. Windier, Ellis and Fillmore, praised very much, especially the pink, pronouncing it an improvement over Daybreak. Messrs. Jablonsky, Mohr and Hal- stedt were excused" from reading their essays, all having been too busy to pre- pare same. President Dunford read his essay on "Greenhouse Construction," which proved very interesting and in- structive. » Before closing the meeting Mayor Hal- stedt invited the club to hold its first meeting in the new year at the Com- mercial Club rooms in Belleville, which invitation was accepted with thanks. This meeting will take place January 8, at 2 o'clock, at the Commercial Club rooms in Belleville, III. Heniy Johann, of Collinsville, III., was in town visiting his son, who is now with Michel Plant and Bulb Co. Fred Ammann and Henry Blixen, of Edwardsville, and E. W. Guy, Mayor Halstedt, Adolph Fehr and Henry Em- undt, of Belleville, were in town the past week buying Christmas presents. J. J. B. BALTIMORE. In common with the rest of the coun- try, this section has just paSsed through an epoch of severe and sudden wintry weather, all the more trying that up to its advent we had phenomenally high temperatures for the season. This, with the continued cloudy skies, snows, sleets and chilly rains, has retarded the production of cut flowers, while at the same time increasing the consumption of fuel — now, probably more than ever before, the factor of most vital conse- quence to most of our growers. Vet in the face of untoward conditions the gen- eral trade continues good, and the only thing to mar the prospect of a satis- factory holiday business is the impend- ino- scarcity of flowers of desirable grades. Roses are im[ roving in quantity and character, but local supplies are hardly equal to the demand. Carnations, in pinks and reds, are increasing in re- ceipts, but whites continue short and in- dications are that they will be so until after Christmas. Vioiets are extremely scarce. Some of the largest producers of former years are out of the market. Mr. Merritt, who has about 400 sash, has not yet picked a flower, and during the summer lost the bulk of his plants. Some of his neighbors have the same experience. The fuel situation does not improve. Coal supplies are short and the distri- bution very unsatisfactory. A curious, indeed inexplicable, feature is that some persons and firms seem to have succeed- ed in securing stocks of bituminous coal at very moderate rates, whilst others have been unable to procure it at even famine prices. A number of florists laid in their winter stock after the strike at figures which now would seem abnor- mally, almost absurdly, low, but some have lived only from hand to mouth in constant alarm, lest the temporary and uncertain supply should fail any day. Some of the larger places in this vi^ cinity are burning wood. Xt the ex- tensive establishment of Messrs. Vin- cent, .Jr., & Son, as we are informed, something like five cords a day are burned ; and Isaac H. Moss at the larger of his two plants has been burning wood for the past week and has orders out for one hundred cords, though we be- lieve he has four or five ears of coal on the rails somewhere between this city and the mines. The' advanced tarift" on rates of the express companies became operative here on the 10th and 50 per cent is add- ed to the cost of transportation. This tax is a heavy enough mie to be borne, but it might be sustained with equa- nimitv if there were any prospects that the service would be made 50 per cent more efficient. A story might be told in these columns of the derelictions and defaults of one of these companies which would be interesting as showing how far incompetence and neglect can go, without pointing a moral or adorning a tale. Harry Ekas. for many years finan- cial seeretarv of the Gardeners' Club, has resigned" from that post. Tlie club netted, as we are informed, a profit of about $100 on the recent chrysanthe- mum show. The Florists' Exchange here has taken a new step in supplying the trade with holly, southern smilax and other nat- ural requirements, as well as various manufactured articles. This will prob- ably contribute to the convenience of patrons and add something to the earn- ings.

The Weekly Florists^ Review* 153 A Corner in the Store of the Butte Floral Co., Butte, Mont., during their Chrysanthemum Show. PITTSBURG. The Market. From the disagreeable rainy and dark ueatlier of the past week, we are now experiencing a spell of freezing tempera- ture. Witli all this, business was good. The demand for fine stock was brisk and a general cleaning up on it occurred every day. The inferior grades of loses and carnations were slow sale ana wuld be bought at your own price. Roses are in fair supply', with quite a few specials and extras in Maids and Hrides. These sold at a good figure; as high as $18 per 100 was obtained. WJiite carnations are scarce. Beauties ;ire plentiful enough and the quality line. Lilies have been rather scarce, just a few lots coming in now and then, but they are now arriving in better supply, Burki, Blind and Koenig sending the most of them. Mignonette, California violets and good Liberty roses are also .scarce. Paper white narcissus are a glut and are oflered in quantities at $15 and $20 per 1,000. Roman hyacinths and lily of the valley are good sellers. In xrcen goods Sprengeri and bunched plu- niosus are scarce. The increased express rate on cut llowers, which is now one and one-fialf merchandise rate, is causing a howl among the fiorists. During an interview held with Mr. Langhans of the Cut Flower Co., he said that the only remedy he could offer would l>e to be reasonable with the express companies, but insist on prompt delivery, giving them a suffi- cient time to make delivery, and if this is not done insist on a merchandise rate. Mr. Burki speaks very encouragingly as to a fair supply of" Maids, Brides, Beauties and carnations for Christmas from his Bakerstown place. All the florists' shops are assuming a Christmas attire. Many pretty novelties are shown. Jlrs. Williams has a very attractive window : also A. W. Smith and Randolph & McClements. The last mentioned firm is displaying some very fine poinsettias. John Baldinger, of T. M. Ulam & Co., has returned from his eastern trip. Martin Reukauf. representing H. Bay- oisdorfer & Co., was in town. Martin reports business good. He said that he just stopped oflf here to get a little smoke on his clothes, that's all. He got the smoke and a nice bunch of orders. G. L. Huscroft, of Steubenville, Ohio, is confined at his home with typhoid fever. Visitors: Arthur Langhans, of Wheel- ing, and George Schomer, of Connells- vifle. Pa. One million bushels of coal (bitumin- ous ) left our harbor for the south last Saturday, and on Sunday ten millions more went out. Brother Florist, this is only a small shipment; it was all the river stage would allow, at this rise. Hoo-Hoo. Seed Trade News. PiiiLAHKLPHiA. — A. Emmerich, repre- senting \'ilmorin-Andrieux & Co., was a recent caller. There is an unusually early inquiry for early peas from both planters and dealers. Stocks of both are evidently low. Delivery estima,tes on Nebraska vine seed crops are being still lowered by the growers. Western onion sets have been offered in this market very freely of late. The stock of yellows seems to be large, while whites are short. BiUTTLEBORO, Vt. — Carl S. Hopkins says: "It is not generally known that Vermont is quite a large seed producing state. Grand Isle county, surrounded on all sides by Lake Champlain, pro- duces some of the finest peas and beans for the seed trade that are found any- where, and from that section and all along the eastern shore of the lake thous- ands of bushels are annually shipped to the large wholesale dealers. All through the northern part barley and buckwheat are very cKtensively gro\^^l for seed purposes. Vermont grown barley has become the standard all through the east. From one end of the state to the other potatoes are grown for seed and arc shipped in large and small quanti- ties all over the east and south and are conceded by authorities to be the equal of those grown anywhere else in tlie world. Beet, sweet corn and some other seeds are grown in certain sections in a small way. There seems to be a hardiness and thrift imparted from the stony soil to each tree, plant and shrub that is transferred to the seeds them- selves, and is very noticeable in a blight and drought resisting crop." The catalogue of the Iowa Seed Co., DesMoines, la., will this year be some- what larger than ever before, owing to their devoting more space to ornamental plants. They have this year erected sixteen new gi-eenhouses and are expect- ing to devote twelve acres exclusively to growing flower seeds, bulbs and plants on a new place purchased by Mr. Chas. X. Page last spring. This is in addi- tion to stock grown on their farm. LixcoLN, Neb. — ^The Griswold Seed Co. is moving its wholesale department into the new seed house. The building if- equipped with up-to-date machinery for cleaning and milling grass, field and garden seeds, but especially seed corn. Tliey are fortunate in being located just out of the "frost belt." They have or- ders booked already for more than 20,- 000 bushels of seed corn. II.^KRISBUHG, Pa. — The Holmes Seed Co. expects to move into its fine new four-story building at 9 Noi-th Market Square .fanuary 1st, where it will have much UKue commodious quarters and ■rreatcr facilities than heretofore. H. L. Holmes is vice-president and general manager of the companj'. Richmond, Va. — The Diggs & Beadlea Co, has beon incorporated with a capital stock of $.30,000, to deal in seeds, etc. .Albert C. Diggs is president. .John R. Beadles is vice president and A. Percy Diggs is secretary. XoTWiTHSTANDiNG the prospect of a medium to short crop of Chinese lilies, these bulbs will be sold on a closer mar- gin next season than in former years, owing to very keen competition among the leading Chinese exporters. St. Louis. — The Plant Seed Co. have moved their retail department to 615 N. Fourth street. Tliey still retain the two buildings at 814 and 816 X. Fourth street for their office and wholesale de- partment. The Cox Seed Co., San Francisco, has issued a finely printed pamphlet contain- ing a series of views of crops on their seed farms, buildings, harvesting and cleaning seeds, etc. Indianapolis. — The Union Trust Co. was appointed receiver of the Vail Seed Co.. on the suit of Helen C. Vail against her brother, S. J. Vail. Pendleton, Ore. — The Pendleton Seed Separator Co. has been incorporated to manufacture and sell agi-icultural im- plements. Reports from Bermuda growers pre- dict lower prices on all sizes of Harrisii lily bulbs for next season. Several large shipments to South Af- rica have recently been made by Ameri- can seedsmen. The first shipment of .Japanese fern balls is due in Chicago about December 26th to 28th. 154 The Weekly Florists' Review. December 18. 1902. SAMUEL S.

It is a seedling that we found in a basket of Vanda suavis. Fba^'k Bros. The seedling fern in question is one of the Stags Horn ferns, and so far as one can judge from so young a speci- men, this is Platycerium alicorne ma- jus. Tlie fronds of this specimen have not yet attained their perfect form, and this makes a positive identification dif- ficult, but from the fact that Vanda suavis and P. alcicorne majus are both natives of the same region, PoljTiesia, it is quite possible that specimens of each of these plants may have been growing upon branches of the same tree, or upon contiguous trees, and that the spores of the fern have been imported with the orchid.

Trade experienced a slight dullness immediately after Tlianksgiving, but is again assuming holiday proportions. Six weeks of dark weather, with only an oc- casional day of sunshine, has kept the supply down and the quality below standard grade. Prices have consequent- ly been high and sales curtailed some- what on that account. The fuel ques- tion looks worse than ever now, about the only available coal at present being Illinois soft, and that is .selling at high- er figures than has heretofore toen paid for the best Yougliiogheny. With coal at present prices, labor com- manding better wages than ever before, glass, iron and all building material higher than in many years, we hear the query often propounded, ''How can florists make a living without raising prices?" With a good demand for our products we are barely paying expenses. When the retrograde movement in busi- ness begins, as it surely will before many years, where will the florist be? If in "Prosperity" we only make ends meet what will he our fate in dull times? These are weighty questions, which every thinking man should consider be- fore plunging into new ventures. The Christmas supply looks dubious, though a few days of s\inshine might bring forth an abundance of blooms. Carnations will be fairly plentiful, roses short, violets in good supply. The bal- ance of the list will be plentiful enough, though a general shortage will be ap- parent. Greens are much in evidence. Holly is of fair quality, well berried and de- sirable. Mistletoe is quite plentiful In this market and of good quality. The English product never gets this far, but that from Texas, which reaches us here is vei-y fine. Green wreathing is plen- tiful at fair prices. Tlie pickers and country merchants have quite a quantity still on hand, which will not find a mar- ket this season. Flowers are not real estate, accord- ing to a recent decision in our district court. Christian Hansen objected to paying taxes on his greenhotise plants, assessed at $1,2.50, and defended the same in court. Judge Kelly decided that they were subject to taxation the same as growing nursery stock, which is specially mentioned by statute laws. Another case in which Jfr. Hansen was interested has been decided in his favor by the supreme court of the state. This was the ease in which he sued and obtained judgment against the gas company for $2,000, the supreme court affirming the judgment. J. JIcHutchison. of McHutchison & Co., and Mr. Wade, representing Aug. Ehotert, of New York, were recent call- ers. E. M. Sherman, of Charles City, Iowa, was also a caller. X. Y. Z.' JoLiET, III. — Chas. Siegk, who has been manager of the cut flower depart- ment of Wilcox & Co. for several years, has opened a retail store on his own ac- count at 220 Jeflferson street. His suc- cessor at Wilcox"s is Julius Schnapp, of Chicago. In the advertisement of Mr. John F. Eupp in our last issue the price on ver- bena should have been per 1,000 seeds instead of 100. It appears correctly in this week's issue. Bros. WHOLESALE GROWERS of CIT FLOWERS We are better than ever prepared to take the best of care of your orders.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, The weather is wild and Idustering, with snow flurries not at all cheering to the man who longs for bright daj's to bring forth the flowers. From indications flowers will be scarce for Christinas, and prices high. There will be a fine lot of Harrisii, ahso azaleas, poinsettias, Romans and valley in pots and pans, and any amount of palms and decorative stock. Great prep- arations are being made to handle holly and greens. One store has about twenty-five girls making holly wreaths and gre*>n wreath- ing. They expect to sell an enormous quantit.v of holly and have turncil their whole ground floor over to the handling of Xmas green goods. \Vm. Cunningham has bought two acres of land on the Ca.seade road, nenr Read's lake, not far from Crabb & Hunter"^ new plant. There is quite a oolcny of florists around the lake now: besides the two mentioned are Hopp & Lemke and Clarence Hills. The locality is sought after on account of its fine soil. Bruins-Slot & Sons also have the buy- ing fever. They have l)Ou»ht four acres on Madison avenue, out near the old Kent county fair ground. The.v will build three small liouses next spring, as a starter. G. F. C. NORTH AD.MWS, MASS. Monday and Tucsilay iiiplits (Dec. 8 and 91 were the cojdest in years. Mercury registered 20 de- grees below Monday night and Tuesday morning, with a high wind. Mercury was fi degrees below zero at noon Tues- day and 1.5 degrees below Tuesday night. All florists had to stay by the fires for 48 hours and only soft coal to burn and hardly enough of that to be had ; price is from .$7..50 to .$!) per ton. Prospects are poor for a large cut for Christmas, as we have had so much cloudy and stormy weather the past three weeks. What holly that has arrived here is very poor, having been frozen very hard. Florist Pratt has a fine batch of Har- risii lilies, but a little late for the holidays. T. D. Brown, of Adams, was more for- tunate than the florists here. He had a good lot of anthracite coal on hand, so got through the cold snap all right. He reports orders coming in for Christ- mas in good shape. A. H. Darling. Detroit. Mich. — Three cases of plants from Holland were recentl.v seized by customs oflicers on account of underval- uation, and when sold at auction real- ized only a small part of tlicir value. A case of hydrangeas brought only $5 and two cases containing about 1,000 roses brought $4.

Tlie action of the express companies in putting in force a rate of one and one-half times merchandise rate on cut tlowers has brought fortli many pro- tests. It is generally understood that the action is due to losses sustained by the companies, due tu claims for dam- ages on ac<-ount of flowers frozen in transit or miscarried. Some correspond- ents state that double merchandise rate is asked on cut flowers, hut in Chicago the circulars of the companies give the rate as one and one-half. And it seems to be generally understood, though not so officially stated, that by waiving the right of claim for damages in case of loss, the old rate may he obtained. In this coniipction we print below copy of a letter addressed to the superintendent of the Pacific Express Co., St. Louis, by ifr. Geo. M. Kellogg, Pleasant Hill, Mo., under date of December 0: Dear Sir: We wish ti5 enter protest against the recent ruling of the express companies that no claims would be allowed for damage to dowers by freezing; for, while r'ur loss up to this time has ticen very little, and we have never been able to coUect that "little." we feel sure that the fact that your employees were to a certain degree liable to hare to pay auch losses, has been tlie chief reason of the smallness of ours in the past, and we are equally certain that for you to remove from the niintis of your employees all fear of loss t>i themselves on account of damaged stock, will open the way for carelessness and negligence on their part, and result In heavy losses to the shipper and disappointment to his customers. We have today received several protests from our customers, who have been Informed of the new ruling, and they ask what assurance we can give them that Iheir goods will receive proper attention en route. You will see that ,vou have deprived them of what little protec- tion they did have, and they are now lixtking to us for some assurance of relief, which we cannot give. Yours very truly. George M. KF;Li,or,o. This is a matter that vitally affects the whole trade and united action should certainlv be tjiken.

PLEASE MENTION THE REVIEW WHEN WRITING ANY OF THESE ADVERTISERS. I December IS, lfl(i2. The Weekly Florists' Review^ 169 INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Now look at him, what have I ever (lone to him? If 1 eould only get my hands on him for a minute! Tliese were t!ie thoughts tliat ])assed through my mind when I read those rambling re- marks by '"the boy tramp," or what was it he called himself? Oh, yes, it was the "wayfarer," but anyway what's in a name? I am already beginning to pity him, for when I see him again, un- less I forget by that time whether it was he or some one else that did tlie thing that caused us to lose our equanimity. It is strange, but it has so often hap- pened when we were still a lad in short breeches, that after deciding in our own mind that the only way to appease our appetite for revenge for a certain wrong was to jump onto the oflending party's collar the first time we met, and when we did meet that party we coulrt not remember just wliat the Avrong was or whether it was really he or someone else who perpetrated the trick. >fot that our courage had ever failed us, not on your life, but we just could not remem- ber exactly. He said he caught me down on my knees, but believe me, good friends, 1 was . only trying to coax some sweet peas to climb up the golden stairs and to incidentally drop a few shiners on their way up. They do take a lot of coa.\ing until j-ou finally get them start- ed up, you know. Wliat lie said about that fancy stock and those big crops, etc., is all tafl^y, for it is only just good commercial, stock, such as every grower should be able to grow and some grow better. To what he said about those seedlings, of course I readily agi-ee, be- cause, don't you know, that every moth- er crow thinks that her baby crows are the blackest? We hope that some day soon you may be permitted to see for yourself how black they are. What he said about those other fel- lows is true, every word of it, and I can- not understand why I was handled so roughly. He seemed in a very cheerful frame of mind when he was here. I suspect that was because he had left his Fiancee only a few hours before and his thoughts still dwelt on her great beauty and her bewitching smiles, etc. I noticed when he came in that he was breathing in short, nervous breaths and seemed vei'y uneasy about something until he caught sight of that pink seed- ling, when he heaved a long sigh and said, "It does not come in the same class with Fiancee, does it?" When I assured him, that it would not he could hardly contain himself for joy, because he said he had feared that he might have to spend another small fortune to save liimself. Baur. KANSAS CITY. Since writing my last notes w'c have been mourning tlic loss of our old friend, "Sol." For two weeks he has steadily refused to show his face with the excep- tion of a few hours, and consequently stock is not going to be as plentiful for Christmas as we fondly anticipated. Kven if we should have sunshine every day between now and the 25th the cut would not be more thap 75 per cent of what it oug!;t to be. A hea\'y snow has made it inconvenient for shoppers, and the tale is told when I say that there is nothing doing except siiiall jobs. Of course orders are beginning to come in for Christmas, and everybody is get- ting busy on the holly wreath and rop- ing, but the past week has been dull. Xewell had the decoration for the Elks' Memorial, December 7. This, like all the Elks' afl'airs, was very elaborate, and the decorations of palms and wild smilax were artistically arranged. Today Mr. Eock and I drove out to the Rock-Heite Co.'s greenhouses. About two-thirds of the space is devoted to carnations and they are certainly cov- ered with buds. They will have "a big cut of nice blooms for Christmas. They have all the standard varieties and also many new ones, among them Prosperity, Higinbotham, Norway, Lawson, Estelle and Marie Louise. A seedling No. 8 (a cross between Maceo and Gomez) seems to be something good. The flow- ers I saw of it were 3i inches in diam- eter, shaped very much like Mrs. Law- son, but lighter in color; the plant is a strong grower. About as fine a lot of azaleas as you usually see will be in bloom for Christ- mas. Fine plants of bottle brush, genis- tas, araucarias and Boston ferns were in evidence. In fact, most everything is well done at this place. A small house of violets is at present off crop but full of buds. Take the trip, you western florists, when you come to town, it's worth the trouble. John H. Veset, CHICOPEE FALLS, MASS. The coal question is of vital interest here as elsewhere. My neighbor has been experimenting with soft coal, but found the draft not sufficient to carry off the smoke, and consequently more or less gas. As for myself, I have been buying a few hundred pounds of anthra- cite at a time, which I can get by haul- ing from Springfield, but the price is high — from $S to $12 per ton — and can get but little at that. Chicopce Falls and Chicopee Center, situated on the banks of the Chicopee River, one and one-half miles apart, are each three or four miles from Spring- field, connected with that city by elec- tric car lines. Chicopee Falls has one wholesale flower establishment and one retail ])lant grower, and Chico|:ee Cen- ter has two( retail plant and flower growers; but there are no cut flower stores in either village, consequently Springfield gets a large part of the cut flower trade.

READY FOR DELIVERY. 50 Barclay Street, NEW YORK. TORONTO. The woathc-r during the last week has been extremely cold, and the srowers who are able to keep heat up do it at the expense of a great amount of coal, which has been quite a problem with some. Kspecially is this kind of wea- ther bad for those whose crop is some- what behind, and we hear now some talk of tlie fine cut that some of the growers will have for about the loth of January. We have not yet heard of any of the growers losing any stock by freezing, which, unfortunately, cannot be said about some of the dealers, as Jlr. J. S. Simmons, of Vonge street had the mis- fortune to have his whole stock of palms and other plants in his store frozen on Friday night through the fan-light blowing open. This is a big loss, as he had a quantity of fresh stock in for his Xmas trade. !Mr. D. J. Sinclair also lost a number of line plants he had for window decoration. Mr. E. Grainger has opened a city branch in the Yonge street arcade. Mr. Grainger has been in the seed and flower business for a number of years in part- nership with his brother at Deer Park. Some months ago the partnership was dissolved and now Mr. Grainger has opened the new city branch in conjunc- tion with his own greenhouse at Deer Park. We wish him every success. We are informed that 5Ir. Jas. Good- year, of Exhibition Park, is alwut to leave the city. We are sorry to hear this, as Mr. Goodyear has always taken an active part in the Gardners' and Florists' Association, and other associa- tions in connection with floriculture in the city. He has been orchid grower for Exhibition Park for a number of years, and is considered to lie one of the best authorities on orchids in the city. Your correspondent asked a grower the other day how lie was off for coal. "Well," he said, "it is this way, I can buy it. but have no certainty that the railway company will deliver it : for example, I bought a carload of coal at Detroit and when it got as far as Stratford the railway company "confis- cated' it." It would look very much as if we are in a time of war, with coal as contraband that can be commandeered at will. Xmas trade looks very promising from present appearances, but then it is too earlv to do anything else but aruess at it. " ^ D.J.

We present in this issue two views of a weddinfr decoration at Delmonico's, Jfew York, arranged by Wadley & 8mythe, tiie florists, of that city. Both the large and small ballrooms were decorated, the walls, windows and ceiling being covered with wild smilax interspersed with thousands of electric lights. In one hall the floor was covered with green baize, with gravel walks, to carry out the idea of an immense gar- den, with rustic fences, pagodas and avenues of blooming rose trees. The pagoda with the thatched roof and many best remedy for thrips in an orchid house, and he adds that he has used for this purpose, but with poor results, the various liquid preparations of to- bacco, as well as tobacco dust. He says the nicotine burns the young growths and does not kill the thrips. as he thinks that they ''hide in the green moss that covers the surface of the pots." In my experience with orchids, which has been mostly with cattleyas, cypri- pediums and a few other familiar gen- era, I have not been troubled with- thrips, but for the benefit of Subscriber ever infest the sphagnum or peat, but if you were positive they did, that could be removed and renewed while the sponging was done. If a proper degree of moisture be kept in the house, you will have no thrips. It is a neglect of syringing and watering in the sum- mer time or again when you have to fire hard, that brings these most trouble- some pests into yeur house. William Scott. ROSES. Seasonable Hints. The kind of weather we have been experiencing recently has begun to show- its eflect upon all varieties of roses, and great care must be taken to main- tain vigor and good health during tlie next two months. Crops are so tardy and prices so tempting that many will be induced to resort to forcing tactics to forward the cut. As a rule plants are in no condi- tion this year to bear any extra .strain, and the growers who resort to forcing Wedding Decoration by Wadley & Smythe, New York. doves suspended naturally above it is shown in one of the pictures. In the large ballroom, seen in the other picture, the great white columns reaching to the roof were entwined with laurel roping and smilax and lit up by small electric bulbs. The decoration as a whole was exceed- ingly handsome and artistic and drew forth much favorable comment. We be- lieve the two excellent views we are able to present will be of much interest to our readers. THRIPS ON ORCHIDS. A subscriber, who gi-eatly appreciates the columns of the Review, asks the I have consulted a grower of orchids of life long experience, both here and in Europe, and he says thrips are some- times very troublesome to cattleyas, dendrobiums and some others. Fumi- gating, spraying or dusting is of little use, and a strong solution of any of the nicotine mixtures might be very inju- rious to the young growths. Dissolve some castile soap in warm water — don't use very much soap — and to a gallon of this add one-eighth of a pound of the "Rose Leaf Extract of Tobacco" or one tablespoonful of "Nikoteeii," and with a sponge wash every part of the plant down to the moss or peat. It is verv' improbable that the thrips are running a big risk of losing or ma- terially injuring the succeeding crops. Experts have their own favorite formu- las for hastening a crop, but with all their knowledge and care there is still an element of danger which it is better to avoid if possible. Those conservative growers who ex- ercise patience and make the health of the plants their first consideration are more likely to have the most satisfac- tion at the end of the season. Owing to lack of sunshine the wood and foliage are of a much softer character than usual and if the temperature is in- creased the trouble will be augmented, and the wood for succeeding crops will }80 TheW eekly Florists^ Review* DECEMBEn 25, 1902. be deficient in stamina, and will be dis- appointing for propagating purposes. Ventilation at this time should be carefully attended to night and day, missing no opportunity to give all that the weather will permit. Fuel being so scarce it seems like mockery to ad- vise free ventilation while firing has to be kept up, but this is absolutely neces- sary to the health of the stock, and those who won't and those who can't are sure to feel the consequences sooner or later. It must also be borne in mind that the vitality of the plants is now at its lowest and that they cannot use either a large supply of food or water, so a careful examination should be made daily and the supply regulated accord- ing to their wants. Liquid feeding once a week during bright weather will strengthen tlie wood and help to develop the cut. Careful watching to ascertain the wants of the plants, and supply these at the right season is one of the principal duties" of the grower and the ability which he displays in this re.spect will be reflected in the quantity and qual- ity of the cut later on. Ribes. ROSE TROUBLES. We send sonic sample cuttings from our roses. The plants are in solid bed, heavy Io.thi soil and with a night temperature of about 54 degrees. Most of the plants have done nicely. Occa- sionally a plant here and there through the bed will start to turn brown on the cane, the bud will blast, the leaves drop or turn light colored and the plant stop growing or make only a very weakly growth. Can you tell me what tlie trouble is. its cause and remedy? H. These samples bear every indication of having been grown in a very low temperature and in a verj' stagnant at- mospihere. They also show signs of the roots having dipped into some cold and uncongenial soil. To remedy this, begin by raising the temperature to 56 degrees nights, with a small crack of vcntilajion on if pos- sible, and allow them to run up to 72 desrrees during bright sunshine. To ventilate pi'operly the ventilators should be raised a very little at a time as the day warms, and lowered with same care in the afternoon, and this should be persisted in even at the expenge of a lit- tle extra fuel. Care in watering and syringing, so thait the foliage may be dry before sun- down, making no attempt at feeding till the trouble is over, will, or should, soon effect a cure. Ribe.s. CARRIED OVER ROSES. What success will one have in keep- ing tea roses over the second year (plants grown on their own roots) and how do results compare with those from one-year roses? Inquibek. If tea roses are properly handled they can be run over a second year with suc- cess. Young healthy stock, however, is preferable and invariably gives better results. '^ Ribes. In whites, Norway easily takes the lead and will next year largely supplant White Cloud, ilary W^ood will have to go entirely. Lorna" is making fine llow- ers, but too far between flowers. Pros- perity will be planted in quantity. Mrs. Potter Palmer has to do a lot of im- proving. The plants were a hard look- ing lot when planted and have hardly had a fair show. It may do better un- der different circumstances. Lawson is still all that has been said for it. But the carnation that has paid the best to date is Ethel Ci-ocker. This variety has bloomed continuously since it was planted. Aug. 20. The flowers were as large as Lawson and had the advantage of a long stem. Morning Glory is a free and constant bloomer with flowers of good commercial size-— one of the best for a man who retails his own stock. Triumph, although one of the oldest varieties, still does splen- didly for me, and it will take something prettv fine to displace it. Joost has seen its last planting.

I am doing a little with some of. the newer varieties of carnations and have the following to say in regard to them: After Christmas. The Christmas crop has gone into his- tory and it is hoped the book is a large volume profusely illustrated with cuts by Uncle Sam done in green. Your plants having undergone a severe prun- ing as it were, attention must now be given to their immediate needs. Extreme caution should be taken as regards watering. A plant which has had an unsual number of blooms cut from it in one day mtist of necessity be so treated as to restore the proper bal- ance between its foliage and roots. This can be done by regulating the water supply, keeping the plants a trifle on the dry side, when in due time they will again be in good growing condi- tion. It is impossible to lay down any pos- itive rule to follow, the weather hav- ing much to do with the procedure. Sliould we have a week of dark, stormy weather, very little water will be need- ed except perhaps in spots directly af- fected by the heating pipes. In case of bright days give the plants a gen- tle shower or delicate syringing all over them, using but a small amount of water; do this early in the morning, following about 2 p. m. with a liberal dose of Grape Dust. In any case give plenty of ventilation, even if you do so at the expense of more fuel. If you have or have not been feeding with liq- uid manure, do not by any means apply any until the plants are rested from the holiday strain. Cuttings. The above was written as timely words before fulfilling my promise of last week to give you more on this sub- jest, so much depends on obtaining strong cuttings. The next two months will see the larger part of your next year's stock under way, so make plans to provide a suitable place for it when rooted and established. We trim our cuttings at both ends, taking off the least bit at the base with a very sharp knife, leaving a clean cut from which come an abundance of roots. Trimming at the top allows more cut- tings to be put in a given space, lets more air among tljem and contrary to some opinions it is better for the cut- ting; there is less tissue to be kept up, less wilting and consequently a larger per cent root. What little sap there is in a cutting amounts to very little, as will be seen if one is left to lay around a short time. That contained in the part trim- med off amounts to less than noth- ing or in other words is a burden and detriment when left on. Getting them into the sand as soon as possible after taking from the plant is the secret of successful rooting; at least it is one of the most important points. Before inserting in the sand give them a bath in a weak solution ammonia-copper carbonate. Geo. S. Osborx. SLEEPY CARNATIONS. What is tlie cause of my Flora Hill carnations being so sleepy? They have a night temperature of 46 to 48 and in daytime 60 and over, with plenty of air. Benches are just a little on the dry side but give plenty of water on bright days. Have a good mulch of cow manure on them. The flowers don't open right and look withered when about three-quar- ters open. Please tell me how to u-se ni- trate of soda. O. H. R. You are keeping your Flora Hill too cool, and I am inclined to think that is at the bottom of the trouble. Flora Hill to do well in midwinter requires a tem- perature of .54 to 56 and not too much feeding. If you will just consider that it is a splendid summer variety and that it is always easy to grow in the fall and again in the spring you can readily see that it likes a warm temperature. A little observation along this line will help you a great deal in determining the wants of each variety. Use one pound of nitrate of soda to 50 gallons of water, but imtil you are quite expert in growing carnations I would advise you to use chemicals spar- ingly. Much damage is done with them in the hands of inexperienced growers. A. F. J. B.\UK. RUSTY CARNATIONS. I send some leaves from my carna- tions that are affected by some disease. Please tell me what it is and the remedy. J. B. W. The leaves you sent showed plainly that your plants are affected with the disease called Septoria dianthi, common- ly called "rust." We do not dread this " disease as we did five years ago, but of course it is not a desirable ining to have on the place and we try to prevent it as much as possible. Some varieties are just about proof against it while on other varieties it will appear to some ex- tent nearly every year. It has been proven that the spores of this disease will remain dormant as long as they are kept diy and when you know that much you need not be told much more. Stop syringing for a while unless you see red spider appear on your plants and dust the plants with lime or sulphur and lime or Fostite or Grape-dust. Any of the.se will help to dry up the spores and render them inactive. When you water turn the water on so there is no Decembf.i; 2o, 1'J02.

A. F. J. Baur. NOTES OF A WAYFARER. On questioning our timepiece, we found time to go to the other end of Indianapolis and see our old friend, H. W. Rieman. We found liim in the boil- er hole, through building, repairing, etc. Henry has had a lively time of it, but was just putting on the finishing touches when we appeared on the scene. H. W. Rieman chrysanthemum is still the best mum for Thanksgiving, here as elsewhere. Mr. Rieman has two other good seedlings of his own in quantit}' — Adelia, white, and Miranda, pink, both fine commercial varieties. The white one we thought perfection itself as we saw it at the Kansas City show. We would call it an improved Ivory and very much SO; looks an easier doer. They ar- rived too late to compete at Kansas City. We shall await with interest to see what a showing these will make next year when the facilities for grow- ing them will be improved. His carnations were in nice shape. The pink McGowau seedling, a cross be- tween Scott and McGowan, is a good thing for a retail place, a pleasing color and a free bloomer. As short as was our stay, we still have some interesting memories of that bench of seedling ear- nations. We arrived at E. T. Grave's establish- ment at Richmond just as the shades of night were falling and before we were half through the houses the shades had fallen '"kerplunk." The lantern inspec- tion which followed was more of a suc- cess than we would have anticipated. President McKinley, the new carnation now being offered, was an agreeable sur- prise to us. We don't believe we will want to grow many Lawson (in which class it comes) when we get this ster- ling cerise color, with longer stems and no splits; it also seems quite free. We think Mr. Grave should feel proud to have beaten five vases of 100 Lawson each, at Chicago, even if he did have to take second to the sixth one, consider- ing that he has not an extra large quan- tity to pick from. We noticed here a good commercial scarlet, which will be ready a year from now, Estelle shade, extremely free and good stems. Crane and America are grown for red, the former variety the better of the two. An extra fine batch of Mrs. Potter Pal- mer looked as free as anything on the place, long stems and large flowers. The color of this variety does not seem to give entire satisfaction early in the fall, but is now rounding into shape, and will without doubt ere long be all that was claimed for it. We found John Evans at home, as be- comes all men of his station of life, taking care of the babies, getting more gray and fatherly looking every day. If you visit Richmond, don't fail to call on .John, for Evans will Challenge you to go anywhere with him, and he has a rig to take you in at that. We had him in hand at the E. G. Hill Company's place and back. John knows little about (lowers and little about horseflesh, but what he don't know about ventilating machines isn't worth knowing. We missed him at the fall shows this year, but he says that they are so swamped with business that he could not possi- bly get away from Richmond. Any one never having visited Hill's would be greatly surprised at the large quantities of mums, roses and geranium plants by the hundreds of thousands to be shipped to all parts of the globe. The house of seedling roses is particu- larly interesting. Some of them will push their way to the front in spite of the best present day standard varieties. Franz Deegen, the new yellow, is a gem. It was throwing up strong shoots and new breaks in abundance and could not help but win the admiration of the most skeptical rosarians. Carnations here suffered severely last summer; they are nearly all late and Mr. Hill regrets now that he ever planted them on that low bog land, which everybody thought would do such wonders; it shows that the best of us are not always good judges of soil and locations to plant in.

NEW GREENHOUSE AT BRIAR- CLIFF, SCARBOROUGH, N. Y. We present herewith exterior and in- terior views of the new greenhouse at "BriarclitT." Scarborough, N. Y., erected by the Pierson Scfton Co.. Jersey Citj", N. J., and which has received much fa- vorable comment. Tlie house runs cast and west, is .'5.5 by 300 feet outside measure, the inside branching from the mains which run in a trench across the center of the house. All the iron used in the house, including bolts and screws, is galvanized after be- ing drilled, punched, bent and fitted, so OS to avoid any ungalvanized surfaces. The foundation consists of iron posts set i feet apart in solid concrete piers, a heavy angle iron base jdate being bolt- ed to the posts, and to this plate steel V bius .•J-lOxlixU-inch are boltetl. The U bars extend from i)late to plate, the eave line being bent to 16-inch radius and the ridge connection being made by a cast iron bracket. Tlie U bars are bolted to the angle iron roof purlins, which are placed from G to 10 feet apart. The sides of the house at the rear and ends, ex- tending from G inches below grade to about 2 feet 4 inches above grade, also the sides of the house at the front from 0 inches below grade to about G inches above grade, are of concret* blocks fas- tened to the iron frame, the blocks being capped with iron sills. The walks and beds are of concrete. The house is glazed with lGx24 gla.ss laid the 24-inch way between bars, the glass at the eaves being bent to fit the curve of the bars. The glass is bedded in putty and secured to cypress core bars with zinc shoe nails in the usual way. The cvpress core bar is secured to tTie ed after Iwing fitted and is considered ])ractioalIy indestructible. The eave line is exceedingly graceful as there is no gutter, plate or other structural member to mark the outline or to cast shade. The Briarcliff Greenhouses, of which ifr. Paul JI. Pierson is manager, are on the estate of Mr. Walter W. I^aw, situ- ated on the heights back of Scarborou'.;h, X. Y.. overlooking the beautiful Hudson river. The greenhouses, some twelve in number, are all of iron frame construc- tion, varying in width from 28 feet to .").") feet each, and of a uniform length of 300 feet. Practically the whole establish- ment is devoted to the growing of Amer- ican Beauty roses. The number of Beauty here grown, added to those grown by Mr. Pierson at the neighboring place of F. R. & P. M. Pierson, of which he is also the managing partner, make him the largest growler of this variety in the east, if not in the whole country. He recently invited a number of the leading florists of the east to visit the establishment and inspect the new house and its novel construction and we pre- sent in this issue a reprcxluction of a group photograph taken at the time. The visitors were warm in tlieir congratula- tions and the general opinion was that the new construction was a long step in advance. Exterior View of the New House at Briarcliff, Scarborough, N. Y. width between walls being 54 feet 4J inches. The height of ridge is 22* feet above grade and the ridge is 22 feet 8 inches to the south from the north wall. The grade slopes to the soutli 2 inches in the width of the house, the grade be- ing level lengthwise. The height of the sides is G feet above grade. The house has eight beds, each 4 feet 7 inches wide and 2 feet 4 inches high, and there are eight walks. 1 foot 1 1 inches wide and one walk 2 feet 2 inches wide. The roof is supported by four lines of columns, one under ridge, two under front slope and one luider rear slope. Tlie ridge and rear columns have lateral braces c.\t ending to i)urlins and the col- umns are connected across the house by tie rods. The north slope of the roof has three lines of angle iron purlins and the south slope four lines. There are two lines of vents at the ridge, each 3 feet %vide, and there is a line of panel vents at the south side 20 inches wide. The house is heated by steam through galvanized H-inch wrought iron pipes se- cured to the sides of the beds and U bar with screws. There is no wood exposed on the inside of the house, ex- cei>t the ridge and ventilators, and there is no iron exposed on the outside except the sills. All the iron and steel being- galvanized no painting is required on the inside, the outside being painted in the usual manner. The general combination of tlie various details employed secures a house remarkably light, strong and iliirablc. The fact that the original house of this construction. 30x100. built at Briar- cliff. in the spring of 1901. has passed through one wintier and two summers without a single light of glass being broken by expansion or contraction or because of any structural defects, re- moves any doubts on this score. The curved feature of the eaves prevents the accumulation of ice. and it has been found that ice will not form nearer than i inch to the U bars on the inside of the liouse. even in zero weather. Also that the condensation follows the bars down to the ground line and does not dri]). The cypress core bar is cheniicalh' treat- ARAUCARIA SEEDS. WluMi is the best time to sow seed of Araucaria exeelsa and what kind of soil is best? What temperature do they re- quire and how long does it take the seed to germinate? C. W. E. The seeds of Araueaiia exeelsa do not retain their vitality for a great length of time, and consequently should be sown as soon as they are received. Possibly the seeds that are to be had in the early spring would be fresher and more likely to germinate than those purchased in the fall, but this would be an uncertain matter anyway, and one must dei)end on the word of the importer to a great extent in regard to the fresh- ness of the seed. The seeds should be sown in a rather sandy loam, in boxes, and be covered with soil to a depth of about one inch. The soil should be kept moist at all times and a night temperature of 60 de- grees is high enough. Tlie frermination of araucaria seeds is h Dkcember 2.J, 3 0112.

Seedling araiuarias are rather spindly objects while making their first growth, the plants usually presenting quite a length of bare stem before the first leaves open out, and it is therefore the practice of many growers to coil e kept in experienced hands. Xow as to the shrubberv. Tt should be selected with an end nf hiving some of it in bloom or fruit all sttmmer. It should be so planted as to have a jiatural, easy apnearance, and not look stiff and formal as tboti^h made by hand at the carpenter's bench. Then there is the green, or lawn. Tliis should be so arranged and kept as to have a dark green appearance; and we would recommend the use of com- mercial fertilizers instead of ma- ntire on account of the weed seeds. We must not forget the plav- ground for athletic sports, or the outdoor kindergarten, or the public 1 bathing and boating places. In fact the aim should be to afford the maximum of outdoor recreation and enjoyment for those who are so much in need of pure air and sunshine amid flowers and trees. The aquatics are also an eminently interesting and instriictive feature and should not be omitted. Then, as to the flowers, more commonly called green- house plants, these should be. as nearly as possible, in one garden or part of tlie park and should consist of both sub- tropical and carpet bedding. I am aware that some of our best known landscape gardeners oppose carpet bedding, and with all due respect to these gardeners, I will say that carpet bedding will be with us when they arc gone. Where this kind of planting is not overdone it is fine; it is interest- ing and instructive and it tends to re- fresh one's interest in nature and art combined. The drives and walks should be as ea.sv as jxissilile, free from short curves and steep hills. .\t prominent places alongside of them should be pieces of statuary, so placed as to give a pleas- ing effect. There should also be drink- ing fimntains or sprinirs in abundance to accommodate all visitors. We have now come to the manage- ment of parks, which is bv no means of the least importance. First — should lio n Park Board — which should consist nf llivpp or five men. and .shotibl be as fir eliminated from politics as possible. They should have direct charge of all flip fipjinces and all improvements of th" p-rk. Next, under them, and selected by tli""i, shon'd lie a suppri"tend'-nt of the entire park system of tlie city, or a spnevintcndent for eac'i nark as the board may see fit. Tu either case, this superintendent should be a park man of knowledge and ability, for what five J 84 The Weekly Florists^ Review.

So in a park it is just as es- sential to have a park man for superin- tendent, and do not put in a man who cannot tell a conifer from quercus, or a a deciduous from an herbaceous plant. Then, next in order comes the gar- dener, who should he a gardener in fact, as well as a man to plant the garden. He should be a propagator as well as a grower, and indeed he needs must be an all around llorist. After h.iui is (ho foreman, and under the latter the men wlio do the general park work, such as keeping the drives and -walks edged and rolled, and the lawns mowed. All trimming of slirub- berv and trees should be in the hands of the gardener. All Ihe men abtmt this ideal park should be trentlemen at all times and under all circumstances, for tliey are in a position where there will be ladies and children within sight and hearing distance at all times. MIGNONETTE. For well grown spikes of this fragrant favorite there is still a good demand. The supply of such, especially in the western markets, is very limited. No doubt there is a lot of it grown, par- ticularly by those who combine grow- ing and retailing, but the quality is usually very inferior. This can be made a very profitable crop if the grower would bestow as much care and fore- thought on it as he usually gives to crops of mums, etc. The first condition necessary for the successful culture of this plant is to have a light and airy house, with ample means to ventilate. The house should have the least amount of shade possi- ble, as this is essentially a sun loving jjlant. Some growers prefer growing it on a solid bench, indeed so much was tliis method advocated in books and trade journals a few years ago that few growers ever thought of trying any other way. Eight or ten years ago circumstances compelled me, much to my regret, to use table benches for this crop. My florist friends comforted me with the assurance that I would raise some nice four or six-incli spikes. Being a new experiment I naturally gave the house a deal of attention and care with the result that this was the finest and most uniform crop I had grown up to that time. Since then, for many reasons, I have favored the table bench. The bench should be at least five inches e the ..i-..,.l..s' Christmas ever known in the metropolis. J. Austin Shaw. ST. LOUIS. Tbe Market. The cut flower trade the past week was not very encouraging; Christmas orders seem to come in rather slowlj', and the wretched weather the latter part of the week interfered considerably with tran- sient trade. There was no scarcity of anything the past week and the whole- sale houses were loaded down with plen- ty of everything. Even violets, which have been somewhat scarce all along, were quite plentiful. The sales of holiday greens are more than satisfactory, and the demand for holly is ahead of last season. Mistletoe is unusually fine this year and is arriv- ing in perfect condition. Ground pine is selling very cheap, $2. ,50 for 100 pounds at the commission houses, and the fakirs are peddling wreaths, festoon- ing, holly and mistletoe on all street cor- ners at very low prices. The approach of Christmas is the subject which most interests the retailers at present, and the chances are that cut flowers will be high in price and not of the best qual- ity, with the exception of Romans, valley and paper white, which, the wholesalers say, will be plentiful and at the usual price. American Beauties will be $12 per dozen for the best, and other roses from $8 to .$15 per 100; carnations from $4 to $8 and violets .$3 per 100. This (Mon- day) morning a fine lot of carnations are coming in; roses and violets not so many, and there is plenty of bulb stock. These are all selling at Christmas prices and buyers seem plentiful. Notes. The store at 4248 Olive street, former- ly owned by Chas. Connon, of which R. F. Tesson was trustee, was sold last week to L. G. Townsend. the new firm taking charge last Wednesday. Will Sanders, formerly with H. G. Berning, is now with Mr. Townsend. ^Ir. A. J. Hardin, of the Chicago Tiade Press Bureau, was a • caller the past week.

B. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. We are in the midst of a f rcmeiulous business. Tliere is a heavy demand for cut flowers and sufficient supply of many varieties to meet it. Beauties and carnations are fine and plentiful, niere are a few fine cattleyas and some good chrysanthemums — yellow and white. Valley is very fine. The sup- ply of pickled stuff that sufi'ered a col- lapse on its arrival is something awful. Much of it would have brought good prices last week, and now? Oh, the ir- ritation of it; why won't the growers learn? Tlie business done in greens, holly, laurel wreathing, and also wild smilax was something enormous. NoUs. The Florists' Club meeting on Tues- day evening, .January 6, in Horticul- tural Hall, Broad and Locust streets, will be a carnation meeting as well as a "smoker." It is proposed to have a dis- play of new and meritorious varieties of carnations, and all the fortunate pos- sessors of seedlings or promising var- ieties not in general cultivation are in- vited to bring or send an exhibit of flowers. Secretary Lonsdale expects a number of fine varieties. A large at- tendance of members is confidently ex- pected. Ernst G. Asmus is sending some fine valley to the Flower Market. George Burton cut 500 special Beau- ties from his father's new place for Christmas. William Berger has taken his son, Fred Berger, into partnership. Tlie firm has a fine store, and a few blocks away a fine range of glass. They are doing a heavy business. Henry F. Michell has a blight idea in his new "handy order sheet." A space is left opposite each item where orders for that article can be jotted down. It saves a lot of wniting. Charles E. Meehan says that a flower market violet grower was so much pleased with his returns that he is get- ting his neighbors to send their violets too. .John Burton had some nice Bruimers for Christmas. H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have had a rush of business that taxed even their large establishment to its utmost. Fruit baskets are an interesting feature here. Geo. M. Moss handled a very nice lot of clean and well berried holly. Eugene Bernhcimer has a Christmas n'ovelty in bunches of hardy evergreens — Arborvitae, I think. Samuel S. Pennock received 500 or more fine cattleyas for Christmas. Edward Reid has a superb lot of car- nations and other stock. Leo Niessen is an important factor in the Beauty market this Christmas. W. .T. Brinton, Christiana, Pa., is sending some fine Asparagus Sprengeri to W. .J. Baker. Here's wishing you a happy New Year. " PHIL. . CROMWELL, CONN. The largest greenhouse establishment in the east is situated here and the trade to which this place caters is en- tirely different from the trade on which the majority of growers are dependent. Many of the New England cities, such as Hartford, Springfield, llolyoke, North- ampton, Worcester, ileriden. New Brit- ain and New Haven depend upon Crom- well as a sure source of supply. What the local growers do not have they call for here and seldom fail to get what they want. The New York market is also a large factor and much of the very finest grown here is sold there. With such a trade as this the variety of stuff grown is large, in fact nearly everything is grown here. Roses have always Ix'en the leading article, but car- nations, lily of the valley, other bulb- ous stuft', chrysanthemums, palms and ferns, orchids, and a large variety of other flowers are grown in quantity. The ])lace has nearly one-half million square feet of glass and gives employ- ment to over one hundred and twenty- ^M five men. ^| Notes from such a place as this must bo largely about the general work of the place and a few of these notes will appear from time to time in the Re- view. A fairly accurate account of ev- erything is kept, such as, for example, the cut from the houses and the re- turns from the various houses, and here we judge produce on the market value. In fact we have no use for weak-necked chrysanthenunns. Generally si)eaking business has been good, but flowers do not thrive with a heavy coating of snow and ice on the roof as has been the ease the greater part of the last two weeks. American Beau- ties are in their prime, however, and never ha^■e \\e had better success with them. Beauties with six-foot stems are common and bring top prices. In car- nations the prospects are all that we can reasonably desire for Christmas. Lawson is in its prime and the cut from these will be heavy. Early propa- gation combined with early benching and good care will bring out the won- derful projwrties of this variety. The trade on Adiantnm Farleyense has never been lietler than it has been this fall and winter. Good plants of this beautiful fern are hard to obtain. Decembeb 23. 1902.

Christinas Trade. Christmas trade as a whole probably averaged about the same as last year. It would imdoubtedly have shown a very material increase had there been sufll- cient good stock to meet the demand. The quality averaged veiy poor, much poorer than ever before, and nothing else could be expected in view of the weather conditions for the past month. A very large proportion of the roses were exceedingly soft and weak in both stem and foliage. Carnations averaged better, but a great many classed with the poor roses.

The latter only makes an abundance of leaves here, resembling a cabbage, which when visited with the frosts of winter become rich and mar- rowy; but if you plant this collard in the cold northern and western states it is dwarfeil by the change of climate and forms a hard white cabbage head. Some field seeds are also grown largely here, such as Chufas, Cattail or Pearl millet. .Johnson grass, burr clover. y:ims. cow peas and cotton seeds. Our cotton seeds are now sought after by all cotton growing countries. Russia lias been ordering some for her ex]>eri- ment stations. The cow or field pea is the red clover for the south, as it is a great soil improver. The peas, which are more like a bean, are excellent for table use."

Kavanagh, appeared in the July Power, from which the following is extracted: Different methods of firing are shown in the ac- companying illustrations. Fig. 1 is a longitudinal view of a furnace showing the coal hi^h at the center and falling away rapidly towards the furnace door and bridge w-all. Fig. 2 is a cross-sec- tion of Fig. 1, and shows the coal high at the center and thin towards the fur- nace walls. This method of firing is knowji as the "humpback," and is very wasteful. Fig. 3 is an improvement over Fig. 1, and is known as the "wedge," with the large end nearest the furnace door. Fig. 4 is t'.ie reverse of Fig. 3, showing the wedge with its large end nearest the bridge wall. There are many engineers and firemen who religiously believe in the wedge method, some preferring Fig. 3 others Fig. 4. Nevertheless, the wedge shows the least resistance to the air at its thin- nest end, which admits of a large volume of cold air, first assisting to cool the boiler and surroimdings at the thinnest end and then being heated to the proper temperature at the expense of the thick- est portion of the fire. Fig. .5 is known as the ' ' scoop method, ' ' which shows the coal high at the furnace walls and becoming gradually thin towards the cen- ter. This method is not an improvement over the wedge, but is an improvement over Fig. 3, providing its center is not too thin. Its bad point is, the center being thin admits large volumes of cold air, which lead directly to a loss of fuel. Fig. G shows the "pancake" method of firing, in which the fire is maintained at the same depth all over the entire grate surface. In this method of firing the resistance offered to the atmosphere in flowing thi-ough the coal is almost equal; hence a greater uniformity of heated gases strikes the boiler and passes over the bridge wall, to be carried through the tubes and delivered to the chimney with the greatest amount of heat extracted by the heating surface. In some instructions printed for the use of firemen they are told to carry a light fire where the draft is poor and a heavy fire where the draft is good. The writer is of the opinion that these instructions were printed for plants where no damp- ers existed. A very handy tool is shown in Fig. 7 for leveling off the fire. A piece of 1,^-inch pipe long enough to reach to the bridge wall with a Vo-iucb tee screwed on one end, to which is fitted two pieces of %-inch pipe about fourteen inches long, or long enough to go across half the" fire. By sliding this tool along on top of the fire we can keep it very level and free from humps. Some firemen spread the bank with the rake. This is a very good tool to use in spreading the fire, as it affords an opportunity to pick out any clinkers or dirt during the op- eration. Fig. S shows a furnace fitted with a "dead plate" at the rear end of the grate bars, as shown ; if we bank the fire as shown we can push back bank on dead plate and haul out ashes and clinkers without danger mixing them into the bank. This meth- od is superior to banking at the bridge wall, as it enables us to spread the fire immediately after hauling out the ashes, besides, there is not so much coal lost in "jumping" over the bridge wall during the operation of coaling the bank. the all of THE PHILADELPHIA FLOWER MARKET. I am often asked how the market pays me. I have made money there. The market has been open just seven weeks. Compared with the same period last year, my returns are much better. I attribute this improvement to there being no bruising and no waste, also to the buyers being able to find ray flowers when they want them. I am always glad to deliver orders. Kverything that is not. ordered goes to the market. My regular customers have hppu generous with their orders, yet it FIG. 6. FIG. 7. FIG. 8. is surprising how much business can be done, and done quicklj', with the flow- ers that are not ordered. Mr. R. G. Palmer tells ine that his experience agrees with mine. The market is the greatest benefit Philadelphia has ever offered to the growers who peddle their flowers. John Welsh Young. Upsal. Dec. 20, 1902.

PENNOCK, Chrklr^Ck I IRFRTIF^ Wholesale Florist/ V.IIUICt5 LIDLIIIILO. 1612 Ludlow St., PHILADELPHIA. I SHADING. We have a large new palm house or conservatory glazed with clear glass, and as we know it will be too bright and glaring for palms and ferns during the summer would like some suggestions as to shading, and whether it is best to apply it inside or out. Don't want to use whitewash if can help it as it is a beautiful building and is visited bj- many people. The house is 90x30 and about 20 feet to ridge. • 'Subscriber. I know of nothing oetter lor shading palm houses than white paint. We use white lead and Eenzine mixed very thin and no oil. It is strained through a painter's strainer and applied to the glass with a fine syringe or a painter's broad brush. In using the brush do not go back and forth with it, as the benzine dries very fast and if the dou- ble motion is used the application will be too thick. We apply it outside as it is more con- venient and the plants are not soiled thereby. It will remain all summer without renewing and when cold weather comes it will peel off. Tlie only other good shade of which I know is hangings of cloth or shutters made to order to be rolled up and down as required. C. J. Stromback. Head Gardener Lincoln Park, Chicago.

HYDRAULIC RAMS, I have a hydraulic ram, Xo. 3, pUiceil in a spring. Have 50 ft. of 1-inch drive pipe with 3* ft. of fall from drive pipe to ram and 700 ft. of *-inch pipe to tank which is 20 ft. higher than ram. Have plenty of water to run ram but it does not give good satisfaction. It runs slow and stops occasionally. Do you think this is due to lack of fall or that a larger drive pipe would be better? A SCFFERER. The trouble experienced by ''Sufferer" is the result of a friction in the 700 ft. of half-inch delivei-y pipe, which to- gether with the 20 ft. lift is too much for the short fall of drive water to over- come. This difficulty may be remedied bv increasing the vertical fall of the drive water at the ram, otherwise larger de- livery pipes should be installed. In or- der to get the best results, give all pos- sible vertical fall to the drive water at the ram and if the supply then is not sufficient, increase the size of the de- livery pipe. With a 3* ft. fall, alwut 1-12 part of the water passing throu"!) the ram should be raised 20 ft., but on account of the friction in the long line of small delivery pipes the quantitv de- livered would be reduced about 1-24.

The regular monthly meeting of the Utica Florists' Club was held on Decem- ber 4, at its rooms in the Maennerchor building, at which there was a large at- tendance, and the usual routine of busi- ness was transacted. TSvo new members were elected and one new one proposed. An invitation was received and accepted by the club by a unanimous vote to in- spect the greenhouses of Peter Crowe on the 17th of this month. Tlie Florists' Club spent a very pleas- ant and profitable afternoon as the guest of Peter Crowe. A trip was made through his greenhouses and particular attention was paid to the roses, of which the host has made a special study, after which we (about twenty of us) sat down to a bountiful repast. Our wants were well attended to by Mrs. Peter and Mrs. W. J. Crowe, and also the little grand- daughter of Peter; may his shadow nev- er grow less. Prof. George C. Hodges gave a brief talk, in the cour.se of which he thanked Mr. Crowe in behalf of the club for the entertainment. In tlie evening the Florists' Club bowl- ing team rolled olT their first game of the season on the Maennerchor alleys. The score made was as follows: Spencer 105 130 US S59 Wilcox 12.'! 129 106 358 Brame 52 BT 59 208 McGowan 112 102 72 2SG Tomcy 65 61 60 186 Bakor 112 151 138 401 Cramer .ST 69 81 237 Hoffmnn 49 71 40 166 McLnnc 64 94 92 250 Kowlands 155 147 1 16 418 Seltzer 73 79 93 245 J.

We had one day's sunshine in three weeks, and as for making flowers, well, the less said the better. J. F. Marshall is confined to his room yet. He has had a very severe attack of pneumonia, and now that the doctor has allowed him to be up and around the room, he is all the more anxious to be in his carnation houses. All the boys are expecting big things for Christmas, especially in the cut flower line, but as for holly and greens, they can be bought at any grocery, butcher shop or notion store. The State Horticultural Society met in our city last week, also the Iowa Park and Forestry Association. We had the pleasure of attending the ses- sions. There were some very fine pa- pers read and the attendance was fairly good. J. T. D. F. Newark, N. J.— Dr. F. M.

Nineteen florists took advantage of a free excursion to New Castle, Tuesday, December -2. leaving Indianapolis at 8:30 a. m. About lialf way over Ed Berteniiann got luuigry and seUishly ate a whole sandwicli and waslied it down with tlio thoughts of some wine that A. Wiegand was to bring. Arriving at New Castle at 10:30. we were taken around the city to a new piano factory, where we were suj)|)osed to in- vest in building lots. Well, none of us were in the building mood, so we did not invest. We were taken up to the third floor of a new building about 400 feet long and saw some men putting the fine polish on pianos. As we started out, a man said, "Shut the door and bar it." so we were forced to listen to the bright prospects of Roseville. Final- ly one of the boys saw a crack in the door and started, and you know how sheep do. ^^"ben we got out we found a new board walk which led towards the South Park Floral Co.'s. We followed that until they must have run out of boards, tlien we followed another side- walk, which was not cement, but we did not mind that, for it was raining anyway. Not all of us had umbrellas, but Sidney Smith having arrived safely, we were conducted by the Heller Bros, through the immense range where noth- ing but rosos are grown, and what a sight. It looks as though they will have to use a mower to cut the Beauties for Xmas if Old Sol is anyways rea- sonable. Golden Gate and Ivory, which they think arc O. K.. arc looking fine, also Brides and Maids. They grow one bench of 5Ime. Ciisin and are well pleased with results. Their new yellow rose looks like a good one — clean foli- age, free growth, and no bullheads like Perle. At 12:45 we were ready for some- thing to eat. As it was raining very hard, the hotel people sent a hack and bus to liaul us in. Seven of us packeurg I went to Leipzig, where I was received and entertained for a few days by Mi-, and Mrs. Albert Wagner. Mr. Wagner is a well-known wholesale florist in Germanv. Formerlv he traveled through foreign countries to col- lect rare plants. Besides his large range of greenhouses for ferns and palms, es- pecially decorative plants, I found a fine collection of all kinds of shrubbery and conifers, among them some beautiful specimens of Abies balsamea and Abies Nordmanniana; also some Picea pungens and Picea pungens glauca, and a Japan conifer, Sciadopitys verticillata. Mr. and Mrs. Wagner were very kind and hos- pitable, and Mr. Wagner offered to guide nie through other large nurseries around Leipzig, but I was on my way to Kis- singen. In Kissingen I lived very quietly on account of my health, still it was impos- sible to drop every interest in business. I paid the stands at the market a visit every morning. Some pretty shaded pop- pies and some fine gaillardias attracted my attention. Long stemmed roses were always scarce. The florists here do not favor the pink La France any more. It always has a faded color and will not sell. Belle Siebrecht is well recommended everywhere. I made the acquaintance of Oberhofgartner Linger, father-in-law of Peter Lambert in Trier. Mr. Linger said it was hard at first to cultivate Belle Siebrecht, but now it is the finest grower here. Besides Belle Siebrecht, Maman Cochct and the white Cochet are doing finely in Kssingen. It is believed that the new Hybrid Tea rose, Oberhof- gartner Linger, raised by Peter Lambert, Trier, will be a fine rose for the American market. I was entertained by Mi', and Mrs. Linger at their beautiful place in Kis- singen. Mr. Linger is an elderly gentle- man and has retired from business, which is in the hands of his son now, Mr. Linger, Jr. Mr. Linger, Sr., guided me through his difTerent nurseries here. Besides his retail business, he has a good trade in shipping rose bushes, fruit trees and shrubbery. So far I have not seen anything new. Whatever I found is familiar to me in the American mar- ket.

Prices oil any quantity. READY FOR DELIVERY. 50 Barclay Street, NEW YORK. KALAMAZOO, MICH. The almost continuous dull weather for the past month has shortened the cut of all kinds of stock. While the cut was large, it was not anything like what was anticipated for the holiday season. Roses were of fine quality, but not over plentiful. Beauties particularly are of a very high grade. Carnations were really fine and the demand for them brisk. Wholesale prices ruled much the same as Chicago. Retail prices were: For roses. $1..50 to $2.50 per dozen; carnations 7.5 eent^ to $1.50 j)er dozen. There has been little or no complaint of sleepiness or salted stock. Violets to all appearance were a short crop and commanded a ready sale at good prices. The supply of asparagus, sniilax and adiantuni was ample, and a good trade was done in these. Ilolly. mistletoe and other greens were plentiful. The trade done in azaleas, palms, ferns and other pot plants was in excess of la.st year. Comparing with last year's trade (here is a good margin in favor of the present. That saucy urchin. Cupid, has again been sneaking around the Van Bochove establishment. This time he aimed his .shaft at our worthy friend. Garret Van Bochove and got him. The wedding took place on the ]7th inst. The bride was Mrs. .Tohanna Heng.st, also of this city. They will reside in their elesant new home on Portage street. R. FLATBUSH, N. Y. Tlie closing '•bowl" of the old year at I'Tatbush Thursday evening was light- ly attended. Xext week's "reguTar'' will be turned into a "turkev special'' early in 190.3. at which a large attend- ance is expected. By that time, too, it will be determined whether the New Vork chib has "risen from its ashes." Tlie scores are creditable for a holiday efTort, with Riley as usual corralling all the "pots" and so pro%-iding a cerUiinty for the three pairs of stockings Christ- mas eve. .\v. P.

J. jANUAEl' 1, 1903. The Weekly Florists'" Review, 215 THE NEW YEAR. "A guid New Year to ane an' a' An mony may ye see." During the past year I have devoted a little time and space to giving advice to the young rose grower, which I trust has been of some benefit. Along with my New Year's wishes they must par- don me if I digress a little from my usual line, though still in the role of adviser (it is a chronic habit with me, anyhow), and give them a few of my ideas as to how they should begin and conduct themselves during its progress, with advantage to themselves, the craft and society in general. I do not intend to sermonize, but just to give the results of nry observations, accompanied by such hints as I think will be of benefit to the rising generation of growers. The desire for self improvement among young growers seems to be strangely lacking, and the serious side of the fact is that those who have the means and opportunity to satisfy every ambition along these lines are more careless than those whose opportunities are not so plentiful. Florists' establishments are usually situated within i-easonable distance of city life, with all its institutions for self- improvement, such as libraries, night schools, museums of science, etc. The libraries contain (or soon would if called ■ for) works on botany, floriculture, or, in fact, any other handicraft, benefits which were nearly or altogether wanting to the young grower of twenty-five years ago. This beginning of the century is not a time for ea.sy goers, and as far as mind culture is concerned the man who sys- tematically sets aside a portion of the twenty-four hours of each day for study is the one likely to forge ahead and place himself on the top rung in the future. I do not wish to convey the im- pression that he should confine his studies and observations entirely to his own line of business, as this is apt to make the mind narrow and bigoted; he should train his mind to the expres- sion of distinct ideas and thoughts, such as can only be developed by careful ob- servation, useful reading and systematic study. The grower of the future must be of unconquerable energy, who will not be content with but the best : sordidness will have no place in his character; he will cultivate the energy to make even more than a business success and give himself a versatile and interesting mind. In the relationship between employer and employe r|uestions often ari.se which on a little reflection and the exercise of a little patience and charity could be easily adjusted, but lacking which often leads to rancor and animosity. Employ- ers are no more anxious to part with in- telligent, conscientious help than the employe is to leave a good situation. Whilst cultivating the roses also cul- tivate a charitable spirit, an obliging disposition and a cheerful manner, and help to hasten the time when 'Man to man the wart' o'er Will brithers be an' a' that.' RiBES. ROSE TROUBLES. I send leaves of some roses that seem to be diseased. All my roses are af- fected in this way, though they have had the usual treatment. I have examined the roots, but they seem to be all right. I find in the soil, however, numerous small worms about an inch long and the size of a pin. Are these the cause of the trouble? The leaves lose their dark green color and become light green. Western Subscriber. The leaves, under microscopic inspec- tion, present the appearance of having at some time been overful of water and then been exposed to a high temperature. This same appearance can be caused by the plants having been allowed to be- come dry at the boards of the bench and then over watered, in fact, the trouble, to all appearance, arises from irregular and indiscriminate watering. The worms described, which are sim- ply earth or manure worms, have nothing to do with the trouble. Keep the soil in the benches moder- ately dry, but be sure that the soil is equally moist clear through, and es- pecially where the pipes are close under the bench. Whilst giving every attention to the soil and watering, be sure that the laws of ventilation are not neglected. RiBES. DENDROBIUM NOBILF. The illustration depicts a well flow- ered plant of this very fine old dendrobe which is one of the most satisfactory of all the dendrobes to handle, and if treated right will continue to improve into a warmer house in batches as re- quired, and by this means a succession of flowers can be obtained for several months in the early spring. W'e have found the most satisfactory way to grow D. nobile is in pots, potted in peat and suspended from the roof, but pots are by no means necessary. The plant illustrated is growing in a basket and was flowered by Mr. Joseph Gra- ham, of Toronto, Canada. This plant can be readily increased by cutting off the aerial growths, which are often produced in quantity, and potting them up separately. " T. CARNATION NOTES— EAST. Treatment of Rooted Cuttings. Those cuttings you put in early will need your attention as soon as well root- ed. Do not let them stand in the sand too long, thereby becoming drawn; when the roots are from f to J inch in length get them into soil as soon as possible. As propagation will now begin in ear- nest it may be well to give you our method of treatment after rooted. We are very particular in the selec- tion of soil for these babies, as thev might be called. Being j'oung they can- not stand heavy or rich food at the start; the only result will be at plant- ing time large overfed plants, while the object desired is to have clean healthy Specimen Dendrobium Nobile, grown by Joseph Graham, Toronto, Ont. and flower satisfactorily for years. This species, like many of the other den- drobes, comes from India, and is so well known that it is hardly necessary to de- scribe it in detail. There are many beautiful varieties of the type — nobile album, pure white; nobile Sanderianum, deep purple; nobile nobilius, etc. Dendrobium nobile must have decided periods of rest and growth, giving it while growing as much heat as you can, accompanied by an abundance of water at the roots and in the atmosphere. As the growth finishes, gradually cool off the temperature, finally putting the plants into a cold house and giving prac- tically- no water, or only just enough to keep the bulbs plump. In an atmosphere of from 40 to 4.5 de- grees the plants can be kept dormant for some time, and they can be moved ones, and this can be accomplished by a course of training as follows: Plain diet, not forced, but grown cool, which will to all purposes serve as a rest, and above all a light bench, with means of abundant ventilation. Plain diet does not consist of old, worn out soil, or any predigested concoction, but plain, ordinary soil, made early in the fall by piling up sod without manure or fertilizer of any kind. Tlie same result comes by plowing a piece, allowing the sod to rot, afterwards scraping into a pile. In either case let it get well frozen and bring it in some time before using, in order that it may get warmed up and in good mechanical condition. Per- haps it is needless to say that to put cuttings from sand into cold soil is al- most sure death. Some growers prefer to prick cuttings 216 The Weekly Florists' Review* JANIAIIV 1. 1903. out in flats as soon as rooted, but from experience we have found potting each in a 2 or 2|-inch pot gives better re- sults. It is more work to be sure, but in tlie end it will pay for the extra lalxjr, as I will try to explain. First, each plant being isolated, dis- ease ciinnot be easily transmitted, par- ticularly in case sliould those dread diseases, dry and stem rots, get a foot- hold while in flats the whole lot is in danger of contamination from one affect- ed plant. Second, after established in pots, you are able to discard all undesirable ones which would take up valuable room. Third, the ball formed by potting is lime a small sprinkling will be of bene- fit. In case of late propagation, it is un- necessary to use Jiats, but plant in field direct from pots. Last year we tried the plan of shifting a numlx'r into .3-inch and while we had a larger ball at both planting and housing times, there was no apparent advantage gained. I trust you are giving the plants in- tended for summer bloom proper at- tention as to shifting when necessary and keeping them growing right along. Ours are now in 2J-inch pots, and will be .shifted this week into 3-inch, using rich- er soil than at first. Geo. S. Osborn. ;=?^li Vase of the New Crimson Carnation Harlowarden. valuable at planting out time, also when housing. After the roots have encircled the ball and made a vigorous growth, place in flats, being careful not to disturb the roots, using same kind of soil but slight- ly enriched. We use sheep manure, al- lowing a double handful to a bushel of soil. Be sure the balls are moist when put- ting into flats, also that the soil is of such a nature as to pack firmly around them. Another advantage in using pots is that when placing in flats you are able to select plants of one size for each flat. Our flats are 31 inches deep, well drained and of such length and width that when placed on the bench there is no waste space. I forgot to say while on the subject of soil that in case vour soil is deficient in CARNATION NOTES-WEST, After the Holidays. By the time you have these notes be- fore you, you will no doubt have the temperature in your carnation houses reduced to the normal degree; at least you should have. You can readily see whether the forcing has done them an}- serious harm or not, and the treatment that follows should varj- according to their condition. If the stems have been weakened, you should sprinkle some lime or wood ashes between tne rows and wa- ter it in well. Give them all the air you can and water sparingly. If the plants seem in good condition, a light top dressing of bone and soil will help them along materially. Mix an S-ineh pot full of bone into aboiit 4 bushels of soil and spread a very thin coat of this on the benches and give a good watering. This will help to give the blooms size and substance. If the growth has become soft, it will likely wilt on bright days and you must counteract the effects of the sun as much as possible by syringing very lightly in the forenoon, but it will not Ik" neces- sary many days, as the sun will help to harden the grovrth and they will get into condition much quicker than they would in cloudy weather. Don't open the ven- tilators and let in a large current of eold air in order to keep the tempera- ture down, as a cold current of air will do great harm to }-our plants. Keep a crack of air on though whenever it is at all practical. Right now we arc having our short- est days and often the darkest ones, but as a general thing we expect more sun- shine during January than during De- cember, because it is also a uuich colder month, and althcmgh the fuel bills are much heavier, we can usually count on a heavier cut and improved quality and better prices, too, except during the holidays. Those who did not force their carnations unduly during the past two weeks will have a gieat advantage over tjiose wliose greed led them to lose their judgment. Hope you were one of the wise ones. A. F. J. Bair. AMONG THE GROWERS. Chicago Carnation Co. A walk thri.iugh the houses of the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., just befor(> Christmas, showed they were in full crop for the holiday trade. The csUiblisliment is devoted largely to novelties and this was an excellent op- portunity to see what the varieties were doing at this most important season of the year. We present in this issue engravings from photographs taken at this time (Dec. 19), and showing their three leading novelties — Harlowarden, Her -Majesty and Marshall Field. Harlowarden is a splendid bright rriuiscin of large size and its value in the cut flower market was demonstrated by the fact that at Christmas it classed with the very highest priced fancies in several different cities. Tlie popularity of a variety with the flower buyers is its final and mo.st vital test and this and the ntimber of flowers produced from a given space finally settles its place among commercial sorts. Her Majesty is a white of fine form and great freedom of bloom that so im- pressed Mr. Wm. Scott on a visit there last winter that he placed an advance order then. That his judgment was good will be seen by a glance at the Christmas crop in the engraving. Marshall Field is a large variegated flower that will probably take the place of Bradt on account of its very free blooming qualities, the blooms being of the same size and with a fine strong stem. The pictures tell the story of these carnations so well that any detailed description seems unnecessary. Cer- tainly Mr. Hartshorne has reason to be proud of the splendid showing his seed- lings have made. All the varieties shown are seedlings grown by him. LiNDSBORG, Kan. — N. H.

If you have never been to ilurphysville, you have missed a treat. Six families of !Murphys in the carna- tion business. We called on Will, Christ and Ed., all growing the "blooming" ilurphy's White. For a strictly market variety it is a fine thing. Ed. has it in tip-top shape, standing two feet high on the benches, strong stems and as free as you would want it; but I've got ahead of my story. To find Ed.'s place, on leaving Christ's you take three turns to the left, and you will come to a house on the brow of a hill, from which you can see his green- hou.ses. There are two roads you can go to get to them, both equally good. You cannot decide for yourself which one to take, therefore you will inquire at the house mentioned. You w'ill be told to take the one to the left; keep travel- ing until you come to a tree on the rigiit with a wooden shoe tacked on for a mail box. That's where 5d. gets his mail. Genevieve Lord, grown here, looks like a different plant entirely to what we have seen it before, showing a much freer and a more wiry habit. The crop, which will be enormous, is coming just right for midwinter, and as high as coal is, we are counting that the coal bill will be paid and a good margin left to ]nit by for a rainy day. Getting back to town we found time to call on our friends Ed. Gillett and Will Murphy, both chuckling at the fact of being cleaned out of stock at good prices. We niis.sed some of the boys, ow- ing to the independent spirit shown by the B. & O. Railroad Company in not granting our request to hold the train for Oakland an hour later. We also re- gret another little incident that oc- curred here. It seems that one of our ])arty had during the day called up Mr. Gillett, asking him to secure a berth for him on the same train, which, of course, Ed. was glad to do, and giving the ticket to said party, received a polite "thank you,"' but not the dough. Ed., of course, was only too glad of the chance to get one on this fellow, so kept mum and gave us the wink to say nothing, but our conscience smote us on arriving at the depot, therefore we jogged the fel- low's memory. He pretended to have forgotten all about it, but whethei' he had or not will always be a doubt in our minds. The next important event that hap- pened was the voice of the Pullman por- ter: "Wake up. gentlemen; wake up, kamaul! yuh onia got foah minutes to Oakland. Train nuis' be hed ah time dis morning.'' After a few hot words for the ])orter for not giving us more time to dress, we were diunped into a foot of snow, which caused a few more epithets for the porter, who made us feel a little lietter by saying: "'Dafs noth- in', gen"lemen. to what I done to white lady few mornings back. She done have to get off half dressed. An' wasn't she mad. She swo'; didn't she swea'. I was mighty glad when the train pulled out.

The supply is >iill short ol Ihe de- mand, especially in colored flowers. Though Xew Year's trade no longer amounts to a great deal, there is nat- urally considerable regular call at the season and the Christmas cut was cleaned up very thoroughly. D\iring the week prices have held up to Christmas quota- tions on all good stock, but after Jan. 1 there will be an casing up all along the line. Prices have been already fixed to take effect .Tan. 2 and these will l)e found \iniler the usual heading in this issue. In view of the usual light de- mand following the holiday season and an improvement in quality as the result of more seasonable weather, the buyer will be in a position to secure satisfac- torj- stock at fair prices. At the same time no serious slump in values is an- ticipated. Xow that the filial figures are avail- able, it is seen that on the whole the Christmas trade averaged a fair per- centage in excess of that of last year, but the gain was due wholly to the high prices that prevailed, the quantity of stock handlet the Cut Flower Co., reported their Christmas trade as very good and further remarked that salted stock was not in evidence as usual. In answer to a question as to how the express companies handled their ship- ments. Mr. Langhans showe'd me a stick- er and time check they use on every shipment, which, so far, has proved a good thing, and secured prompt delivery of their packages, Matthew Seinnet, a gardener and flor- ist in the employ of O. H. Darlington, of Guyasuta, was frozen to death on Christmas night on the grounds of the estate, Mr, Seinnet w-s seventy-four years old and had been employed at Gu.v- asuta for eighteen years. He spent Christmas with his "family, and upon returning had reached tlie Guyasuta mansion within fifteen yards when he was seized with a paralvtic stroke and fell prostrate ami helpless in the snow. He lay there all night and was found at 7 "o'clock the next morning, frozen to death. Visitor: Mrs. Chas. Xeubert, of Van- gergrift Farm, Wellsburg, W, Va, Xext Tuesday, Jan.

Christmas trade in St. I..iuis was phe- nomenally large, and espcciallv so with the West Fnd florists. From report.s, nearl.v everything was cleaned up early Tliursda.v. and the only complaints they have to make arc that cut flowers were scarce and that they had trouble in the delivery of plants, owing to the very cold morning. The down town florists, as well as those north and south, report that they had all the.v could do and that the.v have no complaint to make as to trade and prices. Beauties, as was expected, took the lead and brought $24 per dozen at retail for the best choice stock. Choice stock in other roses was scarce, with seconds and rubbish quite plentiful. These all sold well at top prices. Carnations had the greatest demand ever seen in this market; poor stock brought as high as $4 per 100 and nothing was left over. Violets also had a big demand ami net nearlv enough came in to fill orders JAN-IABY ]. l!Mi:!. The Weekly Florists' Review* 225 taken at $3 per 100. A few gooj ehiys- anthemums, from Vesey's, were seen at Kuehn's, which sold fairly well. BuU> stock, as usual, was quite plentiful a ail more came in than there was demand for. Paper whites sold as low as $2, while Romans went at .$.3. Valley, too, was fine and in good demand. So no complaints were heard from the wliole- saleis in regard to demand and prices. Holly and mistletoe sold better than ever before, and holly wreaths were all cleaned up down at the Union market. The usual displays were made of coils of festooning witli countless wreaths, .stars and bells of immortelles, which made a brilliant showing and brought plenty of buyers. Xot much can Ije said of New Years trade this early, hut the day is a thing of the pa.st as far as cut flower trade is concerned. The big prices will, no doubt, be kept u]i for some time yet, at least until after New Years day, as stock is not plentiful. Notes. Wm.

The weather previous to Christmas was not promising but the few days of bright sunny weather did a great deal to help matters out. Business is al- ways good at a holiday and the only trouble .seems to be a lack of stuff. Roses were most in demand and the prices were about as usual at this time. First quality, .$10.00. and second from $5.00 to $6".0O. Beauties ranged from •fl.OO to .$9.00 per dozen. Liberty brought as high as .$2.5 per 100. Lily of the valley according to the quality .$:! to $G. Carnations sold at from .$4 to $12 and during the first three days of Christmas week about 10,000 were disposed of. Cypripediums were fairly plentiful and readily brought $15 per 100. Hyacinths and narcissus sold for •$3. As only a moderate supply of vio- lets was available we were obliged to re- fuse orders steadily at $2 per 100. It was our intention to have several thousand lilies for Christmas but we succeeded in getting only about .SOO. This failure was due to a great variation in the bulbs. Why should only 800 come into flower when all were handled exactly the same? Of the lilies yet to flower in this batch there is still a great variation in development which is per- haps well, for this .will insure a distri- bution of them over the coming few weeks, but why should this be so? We all know that lilies to be grown prop- erly should be grown in a handbarrow and on the move but even so the pro- portion of bulbs which came to matur- ity in this case seems Aery small. To get them right for Easter is compara- tively easy when they can Ije shifted to different houses as required, but with but one forcing house for Christmas a great deal depends on the even quality of the bulbs. These were Harrisii, of course. Frank A. Pierson, who is in business for himself and grows pot plants and rooted cuttings of bedding stock for specialties, had a limited number of Be- gonia Gloire de Lorraine which sold well at a very fair price. The demand for Asparagus plumosus exceeded the supply owing to the house being heavily seeded. Tliis house, which is exclusively devoted to asparagus, is .5.50 feet in length, and has over 20 feet of head room. How many seed will lie gathered is a matter of conjecture and until it is gathered it cannot be esti- mated very closely. We are counting ou from 500.000 to 750.000 seed. Some of the strings are putting forth bloom, even at this late date, and great care is necessary in cutting so that these will be left to set seed, if they will. Stock of the Yellow Eaton is doing well and is rapidly on the increase. Many orders have been booked for spring delivery and it will undoubtedly be a valuable acquisition to the list. It is not confined to this place, however, and it is a matter of interest to see if these various sports will be the same in color wherever they have shown themselves. Tlie first of the sweet peas were cut the day before Christmas. These are grown trained to the supports in the violet houses and were cut from plants which were started in pots during Aug- ust. Orafting has been commenced and this will keep quite a large force busy for some time. The 125.000 jNIanetti have all been received and will be potted as the work goes on. The quality of Man- etti is very good this year. When the express companies raised tlieir rates because cut flowers are per- ishable goods they took advantage of monopoly and used that power for all it was worth, but if the florist must pay this rate they should be insured ser- vice in proportion. These past few weeks have shown that the service is not ii bit better than it was before the in- crease and this is not justice to say the least. If we deliver to the express com- panies on time and it does not arrive on time, when we pay almost double rates to insure the flowers aarainst mis- carriage, they should be made to settle if they fail to deliver promptly. Even if there is no chance of reducing rates the companies should at least fulfill their obligations. W. R. Piekson'. dNCINNATL The Christmas Trade. Every one so far interviewed reports an increase over last year's business and in many cases a very large one. Espe- cially is this true regarding the whole- sale business in this city. On an aver- age. I should judge, that the increase is somewhere between 15 and 30 per cent. Roses were right in crop and never before did we have so many of them for a holiday; but even then, there were not enough to fill all orders, especially in the Ijetter qualities. There were a great many short, weak-stemmed ones, but these also sold at a good price. Liber- ties were scarce, and fell far short of orders. Golden Gates held a high place and were never better. Good Maids were scarce. Beauties of medium length were very scarce, the supply of long and short being much better. Tliere was not near- ly as much pickled stock as usual, and this was the cause of general satisfac- tion. Carnations were scarce from start to finish, but owing to the increased sup- ply of roses their scarcity was not felt as much as usual. Of violets there were almost none, the majority of the orders being left un- filled. There was a good supply of Har- risii lilies and they sold well. Valley also found a ready market, and more could have been used. Other bulbous stock was almost a drug. Friday though, saw a change in this and owing to a scarcity of other stock, all the left- over Romans and narcissus were closed out, and a clean sweep made of every- thing. The two days following Christmas there was scarc-ely a flower to be had ; even bulbous stock was short. A snow storm, followed by a big drop in temper- ature Christmas eve, did the business. At the present time Christmas prices still prevail and will likely continue un- til after the new year. Stock of all kinds is veiy scarce, and what little comes in is quickly snatched up by eager buyers, who are ever on the lookout. The holly and green business was very good, and the stock of very good quality, holly especially l)eing extra fine and well berried. There was considerable trouble caused by the railroad companies being unable to deliver several car-loads of holly on time. These cars were side- tracked somewhere, but luckily were found in time to be delivered before Christmas. Tliere was considerable win- terberry used, but, I am afraid, rather indiscretely in many cases. The charity ball which occurred Mon- day evening was one of the events of the season. It proved to be a good thing for the florists who were lucky enough to have good flowers to sell. Huntsman & Co. had a narrow escape from fire at their retail store. Elec- trical wires started the blaze, but lucki- ly it was in a well protected part of the store, and died a natural death. C. J. Ohmer. Sandusky, O. — The stock at the Cen- tral Greenhouses was in fine shape for Christmas trade and an excellent busi- ness was done. Mr. Thouspar. formerly with the Storrs & Harrison Co., is in charge of the range. The store was most elalxirately decorated for the holiday trade and attracted a host of buyers. The store is in charge of Mr. John H. Meyer, formerly of New Brighton, Pa. 226 The Weekly Florists' Review* Januaet 1, 1903. SAMUEL S.

The Christmas trade at Ottawa may be descrilied, generally speaking, as be- ing quite up to expectations, and on the whole satisfactory. The weather favored trade of all descriptions, and the florists' line was not behind others in profiting by this advantage. Some fine stock was shown ; and prices necessarily high un- der existing conditions, cheerfully paid for choice Boral goods suited to holiday requirements. A. C. T. JIadison, Wis. — ^^"icto^ Wayman re- ports Christmas trade as very good. Plants in bloom sold well, such as Azal- eas, Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, cycla- men, etc.. but no call for palms or large .specimens of ferns. Small Boston ferns (4-inch size) sold fairly well, also as- paragus. Had a cold .time delivering, with the thermometer down nearly to zero. Roses were poor and there was little demand for them. Carnations, as usual, sold well. Trenton, X. J. — Tlie twenty -eighth annual meeting of the New Jersey State Horticultural Society will be held here January 7 'and 8 at the State House.

To Ihe Growers--Weekly Settlements. To the Buyers--Everything Here. CHARLES MEEHAN, Manager, 1228 CHERRY STREET, PHILADELPHIA. Seed Trade News. Messrs. F. Boddt & Soxs^ Belle- vue, Wash., wish to know where thej- can buy Boston Market Cucumber seed. An Indianapolis daily paper states that the four seed houses of that city did a business amounting to about one million dollars during the past year. West Beukeley, Cal. — E. Gill no longer does anything in the .seed line, being now exclusively in the nursery business, making a specialty of roses. He reports the sale of roses as very sat- isfactory this season. MxLWAt'KEE. Wis. — Tlieo. Koss has outgrown his cpiarters on Reed street and is now located at 283 and 28.5 Grove street, occujiying the entire building. He reports the i)ast season as a record breaker and anticipates a tremendous business in 190.S. Clevela.xd. — A. C Kendel says the trade in Christmas greens has been very good in this city, all the dealers being practically sold out. Though he notes that much has been said about poor holly in other places his stock was as fine as he ever had in large enough quan- tity to supply the entire demand. The mistletoe was better than usual with sufficient to go around. New Yobk. — Charles F. Aleyer, for- merly of Hagemann & Meyer, has start- ed in business at 19 Barclay street, as a wholesale importer of bulbs, plants and nursery stock. The Ad. d'Haene Co.. Ltd., Ghent. Belgium, have appointed him their sole re])resentative for the V. S. and Canada for the sale of their azaleas, jialnis- and miscellaneous plants. Mr. Jfeyer has issued an exceedingly attractive announcement with cover in colors. Mr. a. N. Jones, Newark, X. J., has been cross breeding beans for some years and has .secured a numlx?r of white seed- ed string beans that he believes will be of special value to market gardeners in tliat when the crop of string beans cannot be all marketetl to advantage the remain- der may be allowed to ripen and will then make very rich dry white beans. S to $18, wJiile white was weak. (iood Brides brought .$12 per 100. Second grade roses sold all the way from $4 to .$10 per 100. Beauties were cleaned up at good figures. Fancy stock brought $10 to $12 per dozen. \'iolets were very scarce, and choice stock went up to $3 per 100, and good average stock to $2 per 100. Stevias, paper whites and Romans helped fill o\it many a Christmas box and the mar- ket was pretty well cleaned up on them. Few mums were in the market and those mostly of inferior grade. There was plenty of green material to go around. Tlie market was flooded with holly and green, and at the Com- mission House Row. where much of the late picked green was consigned, it could be bought at your own price. Some green was sold as low as $1..50 per crate, and these same pickers who ccmsigned it re- fused $3 per 100 several weeks ago. In blooming plants most dealers dis- played azaleas, poinsettias. cyclamens, begonias and primroses trimmed up with ribbon or crepe paper and planted in fancy baskets, and everything in good salable shape found a ready market. One of the leading dailies published both wholesale and retail prices under the bold heading "Flowers will be high for Christmas." Imagine a prospective buyer reading "Beauties. $12 per dozen; carnations. .$0 to .$8 per 100" in one column, and "Beauties. _$2.5 per dozen; carnations. $1..50 to .$2 per dozen" in another column. It is not known how and when they came into possession of a wholesale list, as no newspaper repre- sentative called on any of the whole- salers. The article created considerable comment among the trade and many counteracted by advertising flowers cheap for Xmas. Cold weather has set in and stock will remain scarce, and Cliristmas prices will probably be maintained up to New Years. " C. C. P. TORONTO. Christmas business in Toronto, and I might very correctly say in Canada gen- erally, was much ahead of previous years; some of the large wholesale and retail men made 25 per cent advance over previous years. It had been im- agined that the high price of coal and the heavy losses sustained by a number of the different financial men on the stock exchange would atfeet the sale of flowers considerably, but it apparently had no effect and the general pros- perity of the country made itself felt. A great run was made this year on Xmas bells and holly wreaths, one city firm handling nearly fifteen hundred wreaths, while another man disposed of about one hundred and fifty bells of different sizes. Tlie wholesale men were pretty well cleared out of red im- mortelles, and some importations from Hiiffalo and other American points were made to supply the demand. S. Tidy & Son had a very attractive window with a chime of bells with a back-ground of holly wreaths. Dunlop used poinsettias, white lilacs, red roses and carnations. J. S. Simmons had a very neat window of azaleas and cycla- men decorated with holly ribbon with Merry Chiistmas in gold letters. Considerable activity has been no- ticed this year in baskets and other decorative material of that kind, and many of the retail florists, who have not hitherto handled any, handled quite a number to good advantage this year. This is due considerably to the new and up-to-date styles of baskets that are be- ing imported by the wholesale men here. The Gardeners' and Florists' Associa- tion held its annual election of oflScers last week and the following officers were elected : President. W. W. W cod ; vice-president, D. Robertson; second vice-president, Wra. Ford; seeretapi', K. Collins; assistant secretaiy, Arthur Twiner; treasurer, Geo. Mills; execu- tive committee, J. H. Dunlop. Thos. JIanton. Wm. Jav. A. Watkins, Gteo. Douglas, D. J. Sinclair and H. G. Dil- lemuth. I am sorry that I was unable, through the rush of business, to get my last week's notes out, but wish the readers of the Review, its editor and staff a happy and prosperous New Year. D. J. I LIKE the Revie\v very much and would not he without it. — GcsT W. Grdss.\rt. Belleville. III. Jamarv 1, 1903. The Weekly Florists' Review. 233 LEADING RETAIL FLORISTS.

If tlie wealher had bfcn ^^t able Christmas trade would have been a record breaker. As it was it was fullv equal to last year, while some firms report a very substantial increase over anv previous record. It started in fair ilonday, was colder Tuesdav, \qiut« blizzardy Wednesday, while Thursday morning a tino- northwest wind congealed thiS'', freezing planUs, flowers and driv- ers alike. Deliveries were tedious and slow and complaints of frozen plants, numerous. Greens were plentiful and sold reatl- ily thoush there was a noticeable fall- in,^ otf "in large orders, Lycopodiura was in good demand, with just enough to TO round. Holly was of good qual- ity "and abundant. Holly wreaths sold pxceedinglv well and nearly every one cleaned out on 'this class of goods. JUs- tletoe was of excellent quality and m bi- demand, so that everything sold out clean. There was some call for wild smiUix and gray and green moss but needle pines were uncalled for and un- sold. Altogether the green trade was most satisfactory. In cut flowers roses were most con- spicuous by their absence. While Me- teors were of fair quality and in fair supply, other roses were way otT and very- scarce. Beauties sold l>etter than at any time for several years and enouo-h "ood stixk could not lie liad Carnations were the redeeming featur. of the trade.

JiMARY 1. 1903. H* Bayersdorfer and Co., THE LARGEST FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE IN AMERICA wish all their host of customers a happy and prosperous New Year and ■will be glad to see them, one and all, at any time, at 50, 52, 54, 56 N. Fourth St., PHILADELPHIA. WINONA, MINN, Christmas sales were far ahead of fcinier years. We consider our own sales to have been 150 per cent higher than any previous year, mainly due to the fact that we have this year opened a tiower store in the heart of the city in connection with our greenhouses. Roses brought from $1 to $2; carna- tions, fancy, $1 to $1.25; poinsettias. 25 cents each ; chrysanthemums, $2 to $3: violets. $1.50 per 100, Bulb stuff did not sell very well. In flowering plants we sold any quan- tity of azaleas, begonias, cyclamens, primulas, peppers. Boston ferns, hya- cintlis and narcissus. As we always trim the pots before selling, they take very well. Holly and green were cleared by nonn, Dec. 24, and no more could be had. We may also mention that an advertisement of holly wreaths, made by ourselves, wliich we put in a local paper, brought us three hundred and seventy-one sales at from 25 cents to $2 each, while other years not a dozen were sold. Ed, Kirchxer, WARNING. A young man giving his name as Charles Deuvall, who claimed to have worked for the Gasser Co.. of Cleveland, and ililler & Sons, of Toronto, while working for me mailc a few small col- lections without turning in any money, and in other ways cheated me out of a small amount with which he was trust- ed,— in all perhaps $15 or $20. He also ransacked the boarding house where he staid, but was caught at it and nuide to disgorge, but for some reason not turned over to the police. He is about 21 years old, sandy com- plexion, blue eyes, about 5 feet 8 inches liigh. weight about 145 to 150 pounds, and speaks with a Canadian accent. He is a heavy cigarette smoker. A chance remark leads me to believe that he served time in a penal instituion for about six months making twine. E. A. KUHXKE. East Toledo, O., Dec. 26. 1902. NORTH ADAMS, MASS. Christmas trade was first-class. Cut flowers and flowering plants sold well. Florists nearly all sold out at good prices. Coal is very scarce and prices are soaring; $14.00 for anthracite and $9.00 for bituminous, and the latter can only be purchased from the city author- ities in ton lots. Florists who come out even at the end of the season will be doing well. D. The Missouri Botanical Garden has is- sued its twelfth announcement concern- inff garden pupils.

Tlie thermometer stood 16 degrees above zero. Nevertheless Christmas trade showed a small increase over last year. The chief call was for red flowers. Amer- ican Beauties sold at $12 per dozen, Maids and Brides from $2 to $2.50 a dozen. Carnations, extra select stock, brought $1 a dozen; seconds, 75 cents a dozen; Romans and narcissus from 75 cents to $1 a dozen. Blooming plants, such as very large Gloire de Lorraine begonias brought from $2.50 to $3 each. Some very fine plants of cyclamens were seen in the different stores and sold well. In Christmas greens there was not enough to go around — all cleaned out. Taken all around it was satisfactory, considering the cold snap which came so unexpectedly. Jacob Schulz made a very handsome display in his show window. It con- sisted of three very large marriage bells made of red immortelles and contained some very fine ])]ants of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and orange plants bearing some fine fruit, which were admired very mvich. V. Walker & Co. report a veiy heavy Christmas trade this year. Xanz & Neuner Co. made a beautiful clis]day at their store of cut flowers and blooming plants, having some very fine blooms of cut chrysanthemums, which found a ready sale. Jlrs. Chas. Rayner came in also for a large share of trade, having some very fine ferns and palms, which sold at sight. Mrs. Chas. Reimers made a beautiful display at her store and was kept busy getting out orders. Mrs. C. B. Thompson reports a larger Xnuis trade than last year. .rose])h Coenen & Co. had all they could do to get' their ferns and palms, in which they had a good trade, deliv- ered in the city. Mr. John Bohrman and his bride have returned from an extended wedding trip, having taken in New York, Philadelphia and Washington. .John advises every old bachelor to get married. Wishing the Frx)Ri.STs' Review a pros- perous and happy New Year, I will close. H. LiCIITEFELl).

Cliiistmas trade in Omalia was quite satisfactory in every respect except one. and that one — the weather— bothers every florist throughout the breadth of the "land. We had three weeks of dark weather prior to Dee. 19, and then came snow with the thermometer register- ing zero and below. The day before ClTristmas was tlie worst of all. Eight o'clock a. m. showed 6 below and ohl Eolus, with his Arctic blasts, allowed the highest point for the day to be but 8 abov'e. Such weather naturally kept many buvers indoors and many stores would otherwise have done 50 per cent more business. However, everyone is satisfied with what he has done. Flowering plants sold much better than last year, the call being principally for azaletis and prinu-oses, while cycla- mens, cinerarias and potted narcissus sold well too. Poinsettias as a plant or in pans with stevias and other flowers sold as well as expected. Many of the novelties seen in Eastern stores cannot be found here. Tlie cause? I would not venture to say. May be our people are (oo conservative; however, we haven't them. The prices are about the same as last year, probably a little lower, and the supply iibout equal to the demand, with violets the scarcest in years. Beauties sold at from $4.50 to .$15 per dozen; first quality of other sorts of roses at from $3 to $3..50 down to $1.50. Carna- tions sold at from $1 to $1.50 per dozen; hyacinths and narcissus at from 75 cents to $1 per dozen; violate at 75 cents to $1.50 per bunch of 25; stevias at from 50 to 75 cents per dozen. Poin- settias as a cut bloom sold only fairly well at 50 and 60 cents each. J. H. B. WHITE OAK. ,1 am in a position to buy a lot of white oak lumber cheap. Will it be equally as durable for benches in a car- nation house as cypress? C. G. F. In answer to C. G. F. white oak will make good bench material and will last equally as well, or better, than the grade of cypress ordinarily used for benches. Hexrt W. Gibbons. New York. Mansfield, Pa. — ^Mrs. Robert Cross- ley has done considerable building the past season and now has 10,000 feet of glass devoted to carnations, bedding and mixed plants, and lettuce.

A very useful and seasonable hint just now is that all plant growers should make not only a mental memorandum, but a written one, of what it is best to grow for the trade of another Christ- mas, which we all hope to live to see. Most all of us are liable to be a little long on some things and short on others, and what knocks the profit off our trade is wlien we have half of a batch of stuff left over and no more demand for it. This is not as serious a matter at Christ- mas as it is at Easter, for we now have weeks of a gay time before us, yet the plant-purchasing season takes a great tumble after New Year's and a surplus has to go off at a much reduced price. Prices. I have about made up my mind that a well-grown plant is worth all that can be got for it by the retailer. Some sensible man, I think it was Robert Craig, once said at a convention that our (lowers were worth every cent we could get for them, however .seemingly extravagant was the price. Think of the expen.se of doing business now com- pared witli twenty years ago. High rents, high wages, illumination, costly delivery wagons ( we won't mention fuel ; there is not enough of it to talk about) boxes, ribbons and no end of accessories, all adil to the expense of conducting our retail business, and I doubt very much if our prices have advanced in propor- tion. The wholesale grower of plants, if he grows well (and the desirable article has an enviable position) sells clean out. even if the price is moderate. Every foot of bench room has returned him a fair profit. He has not to fuss and trim each individual plant, or waste precious time in letting the fastidious Inij'cr look and squint and pick and choose her selection. We can't, however, all be wholesale growers; the ma- jority must face the public, and when not overcrowded with work it is a pleasant duty. Our customers are not all alike any more tlian we florists are. We must deal with those who are small and irritating or we would not appre- ciate the broad-minded and liberal ; we must have evil to know what goodness is : we must have sorrow to appreciate joy, and darkness to know what light is. Novelties. Lucky is the man who can think of some novelty and be able to work up a good supply before everybody else has it. It is not so easily done in our business, yet there are a few smart brains in the business who think ahead and introduce some novelty, either a new plant or an old plant in a new form. The ninety-nine per cent of us merely strive to grow well what we have seen someone else grow, and if we succeed we are doing all that can be expected. While it is most desirable that nov- elties should appear occasionally, the great majority of our patrons will be satisfied with good plants and flow- ers of our old favorites. The berried plants, particularly ardisia, sold well and always will. Azaleas were in good demand. Pans of poinsettias are now a standard Christmas plant. Pans of cy- clamen, or a good, large single plant is always salable. Begonia Lorraine cap- tures all, and not only are plants of it sold by the thousand, but it is used largely for mantel and center piece dec- oration. Among foliage plants Christ- mas does not seem the season for palms — perhaps they are a little somber — but Pandanus V'eitchii, Boston fern and araucarias sold well. Xone of the above will go out of fashion. Azaleas. You will possibly have a number of the early forcing azaleas that were not out quite far enough to sell and which you have been forcing in a strong heat. Don't put them back in a cold house, but keep them in a temperature of 60 degrees with plentj' of water. Incident- ally I might mention here that we often have complaint that a fine azalea which has been sold is "all dried up" within two or three days of its sale. The sole cause of this is want of water, and it would be a good plan to attach a card to every azalea sold, with the following written upon it: "Please thoroughly wa- ter this plant twice a day." Not only do the azaleas we sell suffer, but those in tne stores are often ruined for want of attention, for the florist salesman is not always a gardener. Once the azalea flowers wilt they are gone. The plant is not ruined, but its sale is gone. About this time you will notice a lot of young growths on your azaleas that are being kept cool for Easter. Even if kept at 40 degrees the young growths will start on last fall's imported plants. You must pull off these growths or the flower bud will dry up and disappear and there will be no bloom. Poinsettias. Poinsettias that have been cut, if grown in pots, can be laid down be- neath a bench where they may remain until April. Not a drop of water is nec- essaiy, and the canes can and should be ripened until they look as dry as walking sticks, yet are full of life. Those grown in benches and which have been cut should not be pulled up at once if you need them for propagating, but let them dry up in the bed. In two weeks you can lift them and pack away in flats with some soil around the roots. Bouvardia. Bouvardia is a flower that has been asked for quite a little this winter. If you have a bed of it it will be sure to be cut close just now. This beautiful plant flowers well up to Christmas in a house where the temperature does not go below 50 degrees at night, but a sec- ond crop needs more heat. If you want more flowers from it, it must have 60 degrees at night and the bed should be mulched. It is a bad plant for rea spi- der, yet as the plant enjoys sprajdng there should be no trouble on that ac- count. Stevia. Don't forget to save a dozen plants of Ste\'ia serratifolia. It seems we never liave enough of it. It may not be the most profitable plant we grow, yet you can charge for it and make it profit- able. Our best customers ask for it, alwajs of course associated with other flowers. Don't put the few old plants under the bench; give themi a light, cool position and you will get plenty of cut- tings in March. Astilbe. Some correspondent wrote a very good article on astilbe a few weeks ago. I can't improve on it, except to say it is not well to limit the time of forcing to any number of weeks, for many times we have wished that we had another week to spare and have had to give them a great heat. Just as soon after New Year's as you can, get them into the houses. For the first month they are just as well beneath a bench, for they take about that time before there is much growth to hurt for want of light. Crimson Ramblers. Crimson Rambler roses that have been grown in pots all summer can be brought in after New Year's. Sometimes these plants have started from the eyes on the strong canes. If that is the ease, prune these lateral growths back to two or three eyes. No other pruning is need- ed except to just take oft' the tops of the main growths, wliich would not give you flower — a foot or so. This may seem to 1)C starting them quite early, hut the flower is a deeper shade and the plant altogetlier better if they can be flowered in a temperature of 55 de- grees than if forced the last few weeks in 65 degrees. The first month they will want only 45 degrees at night. WiLLJAM Scott. ROSES. Seasonable Hints. As .soon as the cuttings in the bench have rootlets half an inch in length they should be jKitted without delay. Procra.stination at tliis stage is frequent- ly the e;iusc of a whole season's woriy and trouble. Every day after they are rooted that they are allowed to stand in the bench is sapping their constitution, allowing the roots to become attenuated, unmanageable and easily broken, all of which tends to act as a check on the young plant just when it requires the l>est of nursing to give it a good start in life. The intelligent care and attention be- stowed on young stock at this stage is the first essential in tlie way to suc- cess.

T. B. S. CACTI IN THE GARDEN. We pri'-i'iit bcrcwilli an engraving frcm a i)liotogra]di of a row of Kchinop- sis Mvdlerii blooming in the garden of Mrs. Theodcsia B. Shepherd, the llorist and seed grower, Ventura. Cal. liefer- 1 ing to this cactus Mrs. Shepherd writes: "Echinopsis MuUerii is one cf the most easily gi-own and satisfactory of the globose cactus. It is never troubled by insect pests and increases rapidly. Small plants bloom the third year, and medium sized and large ones bloom at intervals during the year, but their best blooming season is in the spring. One large plant will give twenty-five to fifty blooms a year, while a cluster of plants will often have as many as twenty-five flowers at one time. The flowers are most beauti- ful, a clear, satiny pink, the throat lined with silken stamens. Its frequent and exquisite blossoms make it a most satis- factory window plant." CARNATION NOTES— WEST. Cuttings. If you have not already put in your main batch of carnation cuttings you .should lose no fime in getting them in. WIe have had all ours in sand a week or two except a few varieties of which we were not able to get enough cuttings, the first batch, especially seedlings. Tliere are many good growers, however, who prefer a cutting taken in January or early Pebruai-j', and with a few varie- ties tho.se are preferable, but only a few. Vaiieties that make a very large, soft i)lant are better propagated late because then yon will have medium sized ]dants to lift in the fall ana they will not wilt so badly. There are not many of these varieties, however, that will get too large by early July when you can be- gin to house them. If you take the cut- lings now and they should for some rea- son not root, well, you will still have time to put in another batch before it is too late in the season. Take only good cuttings from kealthy plants and if possible take them from the llowering stems. I have told you be- fore in these notes how to trim and stick the cuttings and how to care for I hem. and during this month and next you should not lose a cutting. Eemem- l)er that the only secret there is in root- ing carnation cuttings is to keep them from wilting without keeping them too dark and wet. and especially .should you avoid having them wet over night. We clip Ihc ends off the foliage because it hel])S them to keep fresh and we can stick more cuttings in a given space than wdien the grass is left long. The stub end is cut clean, but try whenever jwssible to have a heel at the end which will rodt more readily than a soft, pithy end will. Be sure the sand is clean and pack it down well before sticking the cuttings. Young Plants. Those cuttings you put in early last month should be rooted and ready to come out now. Dift'erent methods are adopted by different growers in caring for the young plants from the lime they come out of the sand until planting out time, and with equal success, so I would not say that you must do so or so. The main thing is to keep them growing along slowly and topping them when it is necessary in order to produce a sym- metrical plant. Some pot them right away and shift them when needed ; oth- ers plant tliem in flats aboiit two inches apart and leave them there until jilant- ing out time, and bolli rai-e good plants JANIARV 8. 1903. The Weekly Florists^ Review. 253 Cacti (Echinopsis Mullerii) Blooming in a California Garden. because both see to it that the plants do not become stunted before they are planted. We like to plant from pots whenever possible, especially if it hap- pens to be a late batch of cuttings, be- cause a plant from a pot will not suffer as quickly as a plant that has been dug up out of a box or bench and had many of its roots torn. Just now we need every biooming plant we have and naturally we try to use as little room as we can with this young stock without crowding it. So we prepare a bench with about three inches of soil and plant them about two inches apart each way and here they re- main until about six weeks before w'e want to plant them in the field, which would be about the middle of March. By that time we can spare a few benches that had blooming plants on them, and the young plants are potted into two and a half or three-inch pots, in which they are well established by the first of May. We use the same soil for these young plants that we do to plant in in the summer and fall on the benches, but we do not add any fertil- izer of any kind, as we do not want a rapid growth, bvit rather a good strong root growth. Keep these in a tempera- ture of about 50 degrees, as they will grow stockier and shorter-jointed in that temperature than if kept in a higher temperature, but do not go to the other extreme and keep them too cool. New Arrivals. Some of the new ones are beginning to arrive, and most of them are good, strong cuttings and well rooted. One or two lots were a little soft, but per- haps it is the fault of the variety being a rank grower and not of being grown too warm as is sometimes the case. You must watch these cuttings closely for a few days, more so in fact than you do tliose taken from your own cutting bench and planted riglit away. Remember that they have been in a totally dark place for two or three days, and the light is very hard on them until they become accustomed to it again. Shade them for a couple of days from 8 to 4 with paper even if the sun does not shine, 'iou will of course know that all newly planted cuttings need shading on bright days for a week or so until the roots begin to take hold. You should know by this time what new varieties \ou will want for next year, and in fact you should have or- dered them before this, else you will be likely to get some pretty late cuttings, if any. It takes a large stock to supply the demand of a good variety these days and it is often the case that orders must be refused. That alone shows how bad- ly we need improvements over existing varieties. Last year one grower that I know well was obliged to accept orders for many thousands of cuttings of a new variety in spite of the fact that he refused to promise to disseminate the variety this year. In standard varieties you are more likely to get them in good time if ordered now, but do not delay too long, else you may have to wait if the demand should Ix; extra good for some of the varieties you may want. Order from some reliable firm who will supply you ge- gin to arrive, some having had a long journey in tight quarters. Rooted cut- tings thus coming to hand are not by any means in the same condition as those taken from your own cutting bench and should be treated somewhat differ- ently. The}' have been taken from the sand and rolled in bundles, packed so as to exclude practically all air; then the ef- forts of our express companies to fol- low directions by placing a package bearing the words "Keep from Frost" on or near hot steam pipes, or one inscribed "Keep from Extreme Heat" in the cold- est place to be found, is it any wonder that different conditions exist? I am not finding any fault with the shipper, but my experience has been that there is a great tendency to soft- ness, causing them to wilt more than those taken from the sand and potted at once. To overcome this condition one must be ready to receive our new steady boarders. Have the soil in the best pos- sible mechanical condition, neither too wet nor dj-y. Open the packages at once on arrival, examine each bundle carefully, wetting those appearing dry. If any should show signs of frost, im- merse in ice water and lay in a cool place for a short time. Put your best help at work potting and personally oversee the job, that there may be no delaj' in getting them into pots as soon as possible, Stand in a shady bench in an even temperature of about 50 degrees, allow- ing no draught over them. Water at once, giving them a good supply, as it is assumed your judgment tells you to use clean dry pots. Syringe overhead as occasion will show imtil established. It is a good plan to use the ammonia cop- per carbonate solution at least twice during the syringing period. Remember that these new introduc- tions you receive represent an outlay of considerable money, and every one you lose raises the cost of- the remainder, at the same time lessens the number to house, cut and propagate from next sea- son. Several new varieties of decided merit are to be sent out this year, and it is for our interest to perpetuate the good qualities shown by them in the hands of the originators. Every sort has its pe- culiar needs as to soil, fertilizers, tem- perature, etc. You must adopt the methods of the Yankee, who is noted as a proverbial quizzer. Write the origi- nator and you may be sure he will fur- nish all the information desired. Every originator is only too glad to assist those who take an interest in the result of his long, patient work. In previous notes on cuttings I neg- lected to say that while in sand w'e sy- ringe overhead occasionally, using am- monia copper carbonate solution, and just previous to removing from sand they are watered with the same solu- tion, Geo, S, Osborn, CARNATION QUESTIONS. Is Estelle a good first-class red carna- tion? What is the best method to use in fighting thrips? For fumigation would you prefer to- bacco stems or tobacco dust? Can cuttings become infested with thrips? No, 404. Y'our first question is one that might be answered "yes" by one grower and "no" by another, and both would be hon- est in his answer. Our experience with Estelle has been that we cannot get as much money out of a bench of Estelle as we can out of a bench of Crane or America, and perhaps that is what you want to know. But the blooms will score higher than either of the above tw-o varieties. The color is ideal and the blooms are large and on fine stems, and it is a good keeper. The only fault that we have to find w'ith it is that it is a rather poor grow- er, and it is hard to get a good sized plant by planting in time, Witn an ex- tra early start, however, this could be largely overcome, and in fact with some growers it seems to thrive about as well as the average, and with those it is a good paying sort. My advice to you would be to tiy a limited number, say a hundred or two, and see how it does with yoii. and then you can see for yourself whether it will be wise to plant it in quantity or not. But always bear in mind that it is not a rapid grower, and start it early. I thiidc that fumigating will be found far more effective in fighting tfirips than dusting with tobacco dust. The smoke 254 The Weekly Florists' Review. January 8, 1903. will penetrate into the favorite places of thrips better than the dust, and in fact even tlie smoke will not reach them all. The two together will do more good than either one alone, because when a bud opens up into a bloom and Mr. Thrips is obliged to shift his abode into another bud, he will find his path cov- ered with his most deadly poison, nico- tine, whereas if you only smoke he can shift his dwelling place from one bud to another in between times, and when he is tucked away between the close laying petals of a bud you can never reach him with your tobacco smoke. You have to catch him when he is exposed to your at- tacks. Yes, cuttings can become infested just as well as blooming plants. \ou are quickest to notice their presence in the blooms because their work comes to light as soon as the bud opens up, while the growth does not show the effects so quickly. They will usually be found in the buds when there are any, but they will not starve when there are no buds to feed on. A. F. J. Baur. fall.

CARNATION TROUBLES. I send some leaves taken from my car- nations, which are affected by some dis- ease. Please tell me what it is and the remedy. J. J. C. I am unable to tell much about J. J. Co.'s case for lack of data. The speci- mens he sent were all dried up and re- vealed nothing in the way of disease, and his letter does not state whether the plants were housed early or late, nor whether the trouble came on just late- ly or soon after planting. The speci- mens looked like you often find a few weeks after planting in your carnations in the fall — the lower foliage dies and turns yellow. Some varieties will nearly always do this to some extent, while others will come through the ordeal without losing a leaf. We go over all our carnations about a month or six weeks after planting and clean off what dead foliage there may be and there is usually no more trouble along that line. J. J. C. may not have done this, and if he planted his carna- tions in the house late it is likely to Ije worse than it usually is earlier in the weakening the stems. They should have from ti to 10 degrees more in day- time according to the weather. Try them at alxive temperatures and I think your trouble will disappear. A. F. J. BAtm. ZONAL GERANIUMS. L. H. W. asks, 'What time should geraniums that were rooted in 2-ineh pots in October be pinched back so as to have them in good bloom by May 1, and kept in a day temperature of 50 degrees and 45 degrees at night?" I don't know where L. H. W. is doing business, but if he wants his bedding geraniums in flower by the first of May, it is three weeks earlier than we do here. And for flower gardening it is better to have plants just coming into flower than to have them exhausted from flowering. Perhaps, however, these plants are intended for sale at some public market where it is always desirable to have them early and with many blooms. Our method is to shift these 2 inch pot plants into .3-inch just as soon af- ter New Year's as we can get at it. Then about February 1 we give them a stand over and take the tops off all of them, and about 75 per cent will giye us a cutting. Of those that would be cut down too low b,y getting a cutting we just pinch out the top. They have all February and March, and this year the half of April, to break and grow. After Easter we shift into 4inch pots and from middle to end of May they are in flower and in a healthy, vigorous growing state. To get them in flower two or three weeks earlier than we do, I would say pinch them at once and don't look for a cutting. Let them remain in the 2- inch pots until the middle of February and then shift into 3.J or 4-inch. You will save the shift from 2 to 3-inch and they should be in good order by May L If all our zonal geraniums sold the first week of May the latter meth- od would do, but it's a month later be- fore we put them out, and I like our method the best. \\''illiam Scott. SOUPERT ROSES-CAPSICUM. "Subscriber" asks "How long does it take to force Soupert roses in flower for Easter? Will they not come into flower quicker than hyurid perpetuals, which take thirteen weeks, six weeks in 40 to 45 degrees and seven weeks in 58 to 00 degrees f Possibly "Subscriber" has been suc- cessful with forcing the H. P. roses in the time and temperature he quotes, which in my opinion would be just about right for plains lifted from the ground in November, and which when l)rought into the house after New Years would have no active roots. If they have been grown in pots the previous summer, ten weeks in the same tem- perature would be time enough. But to the question. These Soupert roses have doubtless been lifted from the ground in November, potted and plunged in cold frame. A slight trim- ming back should be given them, just a shortening of the shoots and the very weak ones cut out. Yes, they will be in flower a week or two before the H. P. but give them eleven weeks; the longer they are in the 45 degiee temperature the" better. The same subscriber asks for time for sowing and best treatment of Capsicum annuum to have it in good order for Christmas sales. I will confess my ig- norance on the specific names of many of the peppers. If C. annuum is the very ornamental one that has been grown largely for the past three or four years and whose fruit is most ornamental, not only when colored red, but when some are white or yellow, and the plant never grows large, then I know the plant very well and grow it. The seed is often sown too early. The middle of May is time to sow it, as the temperature of our houses then is warm. You will soon have plants in 2-inch pots. If planted out in the open ground by the first of July it will be early enough. It should be good, rich ground and within reach of the hose in case of a long dry spell. Lift and pot into 4 or 5-inch pots before there is an,y danger of frost and from then on keep in a light house where the night temperature is about 55 degrees. They lift quite easily and soon get es- tablished without losing a leaf. We tried growing them in pots under glass all summer and it was a failure. WiLUAM Scott. JiNTAKY 8, 190: The Weekly Florists' Review 255 Greenhouses of Mr. J. F. Ammann, EdwardsviUe, lU. HYDRANGEAS. "L. A. G." says he received some hy- drangeas (presiimablv Otaksa) from a distance during Octolier. Altliough he does not say sn, most likely they were lifted from the field. They "wilted some" and most of the leaves dropped off. He kept them shaded for a while and then put them on a bench in a carnation house, and now at the date he writes, December 28, they have made no start, although they have plenty of buds. He asks whether they should be kept quite damp or whether they need fertilizer. If these plants were lifted from the field when they were growing fast and before any frost had checked their growth the leaves would wilt and drop off, but no harm would come from that. If when received they had been potted firmly and stood out of doors for a few week's it would have been better than putting them into the carnation house. Two or three degrees of frost would ripen up tlieir growth and prepare them better for forcing, but this is advice for another vear. Don't take off any buds and keep them just moderately moist. They will not want watering often until the roots are active. But as they send out leaves and the pots fill with roots, the hy- drangea is an "habitual drinker" and must be often and copiously given wa- ter. If the buds are shriveled, don't attempt to force them for Easter; keep them cool and let them come along for later. If the buds are plump and fresh they must soon start growing. Spray the tops daily. A carnation house tem- perature (that is, 50 degrees at night) is plenty warm enough until the first of February. They need no fertilizer of any kind until witliin a month of their flowering time, or say early in March. And next year grow your o«ai plants on your own place. WiLLi.ist Scott. CALLA LILIES. "D.

NOTES OF A WAYFARER. (CONTINnEI) ) Next morning we found ourselves in the old town of Philadelphia, in time to catch a glimpse of that much talked of Flower Market, where each grower sells his own stock, and what he does not sell is left in the hands of the man- ager, Mr. Jfcehan. for disposal. If a clear brained hustling business man can dispose of the leavings to the satisfac- tion of the gi-ower, we would judge Ml-. Meehan to be in the right place. The room, which is a very large one, is most assuredly a model one for the purpose; good light, clean and airy. Wliile we have heard considerable talk, pro and con, as to the probable outcome of the venture, we frankly state that so far as we can see it can be nothing else but a "howling success." Whether it was the general air of the place or what it was, we could not help but feel that any of' the big wholesale growers' houses in Chicago could discount this market considerably when it came to quality and quantity of stock handled in a day. If I remember aright, al>out fifty grow- ers are represented with stalls, but it seemed to us that one of the big western grower's cut of roses and carnations dumped in here would far exceed their busiest days at the market. Our next call was at Robert Craig & Sons, Forty-ninth and Market. We were much surprised at the quantity of aza- leas grown here; house after house of them^in readiness to apply the magic touch to in order to push them into bloom at the time they are wanted. Crimson Rambler in pots the same. A large number of azaleas, cyclamen, ar- disias and mixed pans of crotons, palms and Draca-na temiinalis were gotten into tempting array for the Christmas shop- pers. Rubbers, Areca lutescens, Bos- tons and crotons are grown in immense quantities. The method in growing are- cas was a new one to us. Tliey lift up a small bunch of seedlings from the seed pan, anywhere from five to eight little plants 'in a clump; these they plant in a 4-inch pot and shift into larger ones as needed. They make hand- some specimens well furnished with leaves by the time they reach a salable size, six 'to ten inches or larger. Will was in a hurry to switch us off to the carnation range; we wondered why, but the moment we caught sight of 'the house of Adonis we understood. It was a grand sight. We saw more red carnations in that house than we had seen in any whole establishment during our trip. It was by far the best lot of plants on the place. It was right here we met Mr. Craig, Sr. The "old man" does not look the same as when we last saw him. He still shows the effects pf his recent illness, but we hope he will continue to improve as the brighter days of spring return and the swallows to the nortiiern home return. Being driven over to W. K. Harris' establishment we were surprised to find 256 The Weekly Florists' Review, JAXUAKV 8, 1903. such a large, well kept place. This was our first visit here, and without exagger- ating at all we never saw a place that struck us with such signs of good man- agement. Here, as at Craig's, a general assort- ment of plants is grown. A house of gardenias is being tried; we shall watch with interest any reports concerning it. A large house of holly bu.shes. in pots, well berried, pyramidal form, anywhere from four to eight feet higli, was the leading feature in Christmas plants. Tliis struck us as being a good invest- ment. Investment we must call it. as all the plants were imported from Europe. We left Philadelphia mth the thought that there was still a good opening in or near Chicago for a first-class pot- plant establishment. Who'll venture it? James Hartshokxe. BUFFALO. New Year's Trade. Time was, some twenty-five years ago, when New Year's day was the floral day ot the who.e year. For many years it has been entirely different, and New tiful day made everybody good tem- pered and generous. The demand for plants was not worth mentioning after the Christmas trade, yet there was a little. The business was cut flowers. Roses and violets were in great demand and good carnations found buyers freel}'. Prices have taken the usual drop, which they can well aft'ard to take, but are yet high enough to be healthy all around. Sweet Peas. Sweet peas were quite a feature this season with several local men, W. J. Palmer & Son having a fine cut, and Louis H. Neubeck at his Corfu place has picked some twenty dozen every morn- ing for several weeks past. These were sown in August on benches in five inches of soil and two single stems cied up to a string just as you would smilax, the strings being about nine inches apart each way. I have never grown them this way, but am inclined to think it a paying crop if you have something to succeed them after April. Items. Mr. C. F. Christensen had a grand Overhead View of the Short Roof Greenhouses of Mr. J. F. Ammann, Edwardsville, 111. Year's has been little more than any other day of mid-winter. This year, however, there was a crowd of social events that maue it a busier time than for many New Year's days past, the annual charity ball that all societj' at- tends; every club in this city held open house; there were private dances, re- ceptions, the coming out of some fair buds and even a wedding in high life. Altogether it was a. day filled with fes- tivities and all wanting more or less of our work and wares. And then, only once in a decade do we rejoice in such ideal weather — a few inches of snow on the ground, the sleigh bells jingling everywhere, bright sunshine all day and so little below the freezing point that it felt warm and balmy. Sleighing is nice fun in such weather, b\it when it's zero you have to sit awfully close together to keep from freezing, and then your loes and nose are likely to suffer. An English girl on a visit to Canada said shj enjoyed a sleigh ride ever so much, but it was a pity it always came in such cold weather. So perhaps a most beau- pick of carnations for Christmas. He is alKiut the first around here that has made a great success of that useful va- riety "(ilacier." His soil or his skill grows Bradt, Crane and Marquis to perfection. His house of mignonette was also in splendid shape for Christ- mas trade, and .so was a fine batch of Lilium Harrisii. I iiarles Guenther, of Hamburg, sent in a splendid lot of Bridesmaid and Bride roses. I don't moan by this that he had been saving up a month's cut and sent them in for Christmas, but be manages to have a fine lot when they are worth most and when we all want them. He is a student and a rose grower and his success is not "good luck" ; it is knowledge and experience carefuUv applied, with lots of hard work. Violets. The Wise Bros., of East Aurora, have been sending in a very superior grade of carnations, but I don't envy them that as much as I do their "Imperial" dou- ble violets. These have been of great size and color and equal In every way to the finest of the Hudson River flow- ers. You may live to be ninety years old and think you are a past master on violet culture, having tnem beautiful and growing on November 1, and in two weeks the leaves are curled, the buds I are wilted and you have the blues. In January they will pick up again and when they are worth very little you will have a fine crop. Such are the tribulations of marv who think they know all about Viola odorata. Vv?. S. PHILADELPHIA. The Market- Business has fallen olT a little since New Year's. The quantity of stufl' com- ing in would seem to indicate that the growers are giving their plants a much needed rest. Prices held well until this week, when they fell, especially on roses. White flowers suitable for funeral work were scarce and brought good prices, much higher than colored flowers of the same grade. The event of the week was the depart- ure of Herman Schoenfeld for Harris- burg on the 4:20 a. m. train on Tuesday morning to be on hand bright and early for the opening of the State Legislature. He was loaded down with flowers — bunches, bouquets and designs, including a great horseshoe and a gavel for the speaker's desk. Before leaving Mr. Schoenfeld made an impression, as my Sharon Hill friend would say, on the rose and carnation markets and nearly carried the sweet pea market away, tak- ing l,.iOO of Edward Kcid's best blooms with him — no small number for this wintry month. The Wholesalers. The wholesale cnminission merchants have been too busy to talk until this week when the let up in business activ- ity made it ])ossible to get their ideas into shape regarding what was done during the holidays. William J. Baker was better .satisfied tlian ever before with the results obtained. He said that business had lieen good at Christmas and since, which is saying a good deal for Jfr. Baker. He deplores the hold- ing back of tlowers, which makes so much trouble, both with the buyers and consignors, still he thinks the evil grows less year by year. Eugene Bernheimer is gieatly encour- aged by the increase in the volume of his business. A letter from one of his largest growers, dated December 31, was very gratif}^ng. It said that the grower was that day closing the most prosper- ous year of his business and thanked JD'. -Bernheimer for disposing of the large cut of flowers at such good prices. Such expression of feeling is very encourag- ing to the conmiission man, doing much to establish that mutual confidence so necessary to plea.sant business relations. Geo. M. Moss is greatly pleased with his holiday results. He spoke of the splendid demand for all kinds of flowers, commenting especially on the call for white flowers ex])erienccd this week. IjCO Niesscn was much gratified with the increase in business of 50 per cent over last year. He handled an immense stock of fine Beauties. His Liberties and bouvardias were especially choice. All orders were filled on time with scarcely a complaint, and at the close of Christmas day there was hardlj- $200 JANIAIIV S, 1903. The Weekly Florists' Review, 257 View in the Rose House of Mr. J. F. Ammann, EdwardsviU?, 111. worth of stock left on the place. This is veiy little when tlie enoiinous quan- tity of stock handled is considered. Mig- nonette was hetter than formerly. Car- nations were very tine, but alas, many were kept too long. Mr. Xiessen said liis rose growers had implicitly followed his directions at the time of shipping their flowers and he believed they had obtained tlie verv best results thereby. Samuel S. Pe"nnock sold 2.5,000 lily of tlie valley at Christmas. He was pleased with his lioliday business in ev- ery way, excepting that part which re- lated to the flowers held too long. He thinks that the growers who hold back their stock do themselves and their com mission man great injury. Often their flowers look well wlien packed in tlic box. but when they reach the city, and later the buyer, they show unmistakable signs of sleepiness, making them entirely unfit for use. Too nuuh stress cannot be laid on this point, large sums being lost this year through holding. Mu'. Pcnnock fared well with the express companies. He experienced a good de- mand for violets and handled many fine orchids. He thought that the market took more kindly to the flowers that advanced but slightly than to those that doubled their price for the holidays. Kdward Keid was much pleased wilh both local and shipping business. He had large consignments of fine sweet peas. His roses and carnations were of excellent quality. A letter received from a city in Georgia commended high- ly a shipment of carnations made De- cember 8 and said that day. December 15. some of these carnations were in perfect condition. Jlr. Reid believes these results are due to the care with which his growers carry out his direc- tions in regard to time tor picking these flowers, and because he never uses an ice box for carnations. They are always kept in a cooling room. Notes. There was a large representative club meeting Tuesda_v evening and the le- marks by Messrs. Daillcdouze and Thompson, wdio were visitors, were appre- ciated. There was an unusually fine ex- hibition of carnations, among the many choice varieties displayed being Adonis.

Kdwin Lonsdale did exceptionally well with his l^)rraine begonias. A large number was grown and flowered in 3- inch pots. They were made up in fancy baskets of growing plants, or made up into i)ans. Mr. I^nusda.e says it is sur- prising how fine a plant can be grown in this small sized pot. l.*o Niessen is receiving fine daft'odils from Carl Jurgens, of Newport, R.

If business were good material would lie scarce, but there is enough for all demands, violets and yellow joncjnils probably running scarcest. Of the for- mer onlv the single variety is yet com- ing at all; the only double one I have seen being shown as a curiosity by W. W. Tailby. Stevia is pretty well gone and no one bringing it in except Kid- der Brothers, who have had a large amount of extra good quality, which is holding out remarkably well. New Year's day has never seemed to affect our business enough to amount to anything until this year, when a marked increase was felt. J. Walsh & Son. This firm started in quite a small way in JIalden some seven or eight years ago but has made a very rapid and vei'y substantial growth, which is just what could be expected bv those who liavc tlie honor of an acquaiiitanee with the members of the firm. As they recently moved into a new store special- ly built for their business, I took a fly- ing trip thereto and found it a model for suburban business, and indeed very few Boston stores surpass it. It is beautifully situated in just the right place to cater to the best trade in their city, which is of a highly aristocratic class. iWO large, elegant show windows, large room, elegant fixtures and a jewel of a conservator}- in the rear with all modern equipments, completes the ground floor, with nothing above, and a fine large cellar beneath. We need not", bother to wish them success. It is too late. Among the dangerous looking new- •coiners to the business for 1903 is Backer & Co., of Billerica, who have been sending in a good cut of fine car- nations right along and have faith enough in "their abilities so that they luive decided to add 22.5x30 feet to the plant. This will be of iron construc- tion throughout and up to the twenty- first century in every way. Tlie seven greenhouses of F. W. Fletcher, Auburndale, were frozen solid, December 27, owing to lack of suflicient fuel. This is the third serious loss Mr. Kletcher has sustained within two years but he takes his latest loss philosophi- cally, only remarking that it "is a hard Idow for my creditors." He has become, however, a determined opponent of the governmental policy that not onl.v pro- tects but encourages the formation of monopolies to rob the public. J. S. Ma.vtku. CHICAGO. The Market. Trade is quiet, as \n be expected at the season, and the supply, though not great, is suflicient to meet demands ex- cept for a slight shortage in roses. The quality shows some improvement as the result of the more seasonable weather. Prices have eased some from our last quotati(ms, but they are well held at our prices of this week, ^^ere the sup- ply much larger the demand would be too light to keep prices at present level. On the \\-liole the market is in a very satisfactory condition for the season. As is well known, there is always a dull two weeks after the holidays, and if the supply does not increase materially for another week it will be just as well. Various Items. Mr. C. INI. Dickinson, manager of E. H. Hunt's, is confined to his home by illness. On New Year's day Oscar Kreitling, the West 12th St. florist, was fatally shot by his brother-in-law. The news of the tragedy was a great shock to his many friends in the trade. He was laid at rest on Sunday. The new cut flower market was opened by the Flower Growers' Co. last Tues- day. The company has a space 85 by 90 feet on the second floor of the build- ing at the northeast corner of Wabash Ave. and Randolph St. Though not yet fully fitted up, selling began Tuesday morning, stands being occupied on thei opening day bv F. R. Hills, Sinner Bros,, Mrs. A. M. Schafer, Matt Everett, Mrs. F. Beu, Mrs. Foote, B. Eldridge and H. W. Lyons. On Wednesday J. A. Swan- son and A. B. Everett were stand holders.

A ball will be given in the market next Tues- day evening, Jan. 13, and all in the trade are invited. ( Henry Jliller. MeHenn", 111., has had an accident to his boiler that will prac- tically close his est;iblishment for the rest of the season. There are rumors afloat to the effect that a number of growers are in a bad way for coal, and that some of them may have to shut down if the situation is not soon relieved. Chas. Siegk is back in Chicago, the plans for his store in Joliet having fall- en through. Jos. Foerster was a member of the bowling team that made the new west- ern record of 1101 by a five man team. Tliis is within two pins of the world's record. His average in 30 games is 199. NEW YORK. Trade Conditions. The Xew Year opened witli weather good enough for May. Xot a cloud in the sky and the air as mild and sweet as if it were the "first breath of spring." Seems as though tlie elements were not in league with the coal barons, and that the climatic powers that be, had the anxious florist in view when the tem- perature for December and early Jan- uarj' was under consideration. Tlie whole week has been mild, and business fairly encou of the trade. Some of the retailers are rushed wilh dinners and weddings, and a few elab- orate decorations have already mater- ialized. Prices for cut flowers of all kinds liave gradually depreciated since the holidays and at tins writing normal values prevail. The Coal Situation. With the advent of colder weather, which cannot be long delayed, will come the most serious question of the year, the closing of many greenhouses because of the impossibility of obtaining coal. Even now the price is prohibitive and many are reducing the outlay by shut- ting off a portion of their plants and using only the houses absolutely neces- sary. There seems to be no salvation from serious losses for a multitude of growers. The supply of coal is short and will certainly continue so until the summer. If anything can be done to avert this calamity to the trade there is not a moment to be lost. Practical and immediate suggestions and efforts are absolutely necessary. Even the largest growers are begin- nine to feel the strain. C. W. Ward and Jno. H. Taylor have each closed several houses during the past week and there are others who are moving heaven and earth to get the supplies needed in time for the inevitable. Items. The preparations for the great carna- tion convention in February go steadily on. Mx. Ward and seveial members of the eoimnittee met on Saturday last and arranged and completed many plans that insure its success. It will be ihc con- vention if all the schemes to make it so materialize. Mr. Ward reports many orders for his new book daily. It will be sent out early in February and promises to be of great value to carnationists. The last chapter is in the hands of the printer. Kcxt ^londay evening the first regu- lar meeting of the Xew York Florists' Club for 1903 will be held at 128 E. Twenty-eighth street, the club's tempo- rary quarters. President Sheriuan's val- edictory, installation of new officers, and many considerations of importance, with some exhibits and special features by the entertainment connnutce, will make it a gala night. The club's sixteenth annual dinner, as already recorded, comes on Saturday ev- ening, January 31, at the St. Denis hoteh Tickets are $.5 and the menu and "feast of reason" will be above the aver- age. A very large attendance is as- sured. The visit of Mr. Hartshornc. of the Chicago Carnation Co.. is kept in mem- ory regularly at Walter Sheridan's, where some of the tip top western carna- tions maj' be found. Geo. C. Perkins, of Newark, called on us last week before his trip to Southern California, where the firm of Jackson 6 Perkins intends to go into hardy rose culture on an elaborate scale. Two im- mense propagating houses will be built and the yearly output anticipated as early as 1904 is over a million bushes. The Manhattan Supply Co.. of Xew York City, secured a lot at the corner of Center, Duane and New Elm streets, close to Brooklyn bridge, which will add greatly to the facilities. Theo. Hauschild, with C. H. Brown, of 400 Columbus avenue, has a boy named Theodore Roosevelt that proves "there's something ($10) in a name." Last week, attracted by his strenuousness, or beau- ty, a stranger in a street car, after re- flection took a $10 bill from his roll, |)laeing the scarcity of some kinds of need- ed material. It is said that the last was a week of more gencrall.v diffused good business than is often found in any JANUARY 8, 1903. The Weekly Florists* Review. 259 single week, the great liolidaj-s alone excepted. There were several elaborate weddings, numerous receptions, lunches and other social entertainment.s. and two or three large funerals at which the floral offerings were numerous and hand- some. A new practice prevailing here — it may be provincial — which is not un- likely to have some influence on the beautiful and appropriate, even if some- times overdone, custom of sending flow- ers as tributes of respect and admira- tion for the dead, is the publishing in the daily papers of the names of the contributors and descriptions of the flowers. This is a new de- parture in this section. The day ol "designs" for funeral occasions seems to have departed. The gates ajar and flying doves have practically been wholly superseded by wreaths of rose bunches, and the stifT creations, save occasionally a cross, are seldom seen where a higher taste prevails. We have had variable weather for the past week — not cold, but cloudy and raw ■ — with a tremendous rain Frida}'. To- day, January 5, is threatening and dull. The fuel problem continues unsolved and many florists have limited supplies and are living from hand to mouth after a very disagreeable and perplexing fash- ion. The demand for finer qualities of roses is considerably in excess of the supply, and white and red carnations continue scarce. Frederick C. Bauer, of Govanstown, met with a severe accident, being thrown from his wagon, which was upset and destroyed oy contact with a frog in the railway track, his horse also being in- jured, though not severely. Messrs. Madsen and Anderson, also of Govanstown, and neighboring but not rival growers, continue to send in fine American Beauties of excellent color and healthy foliage. In this class they are the leaders here. R. PITTSBURG. The Market. The florists have enjoyed a very busy week. Tlie demand for flowers for New Year's was very good, in fact I believe better than for many a year. Large quantities of carnations arrived last week, and the market was in a peculiar condition; only the best, large, fancy flowers seemed to sell at fair prices, while the medium and poor grades moved out slowly, at prices which at times were very low. The supply of Maids and Brides is limited, but those which are received are exceptionally fine. Beauties still bring good prices, almost Christmas prices for the better grades. The supply is equal to the demand. Liberties and Meteors are off crop. Valley finds a brisk de- mand and the quality is good. Roman hyacinths are scarce, narcissus is a glut. Lilies are being received in larger amounts and bring very good prices. Mignonette, pansies, sweet peas and tulips are more plentiful, and find a ready sale. Freezias and single daffo- dils are beginning to make their appear- ance. In greens, Sprengeri is the only stock that is scarce. Notes. A very heavy fog prevailed in this city on New Year's day. and resulted in al- most a complete tie-up in traffic, the rail- roads suffering most. The mantle cov- ered an area of t\vent\--live miles. Every local florist suffered inconvenience and loss by delayed deliveries on that day. Violets and other stock from the east were ordered to arrive in the morning, for orders for noonday luncheons, etc. The shipments arrived late in the after- noon, causing disappointment to custom- ers and loss to the florists. Such delays are very frequent and the fault lies with the express companies here. This matter of delayed shipments seems to be of sufficient importance to call for concerted action among the trade everywhere. The recent rise of rate on cut flowers to one and one-half times merchandise rate begins to look like ex- tortion, when cut flower shipments re- ceive the attention of only ordinary mer- chandise shipments. Can it not be made part of the work of the Society of Amer- ican Florists or of local associations to aid their members in collecting claims for stock refused on account of delay, when such delay is due to the careless- ness and negligence of the express com- panies? The vexations of pressing a claim frightens many an individual. A systematic and persistent pressing of every claim to which a florist is entitled would probably cause some change in the attention given to cut flowers by ex- press companies. Something should be done; it is a matter that vitally affects the whole trade and united action should certainly be taken at once. Considerable excitement was caused among the employes at Randolph & Mc- Clements' the other afternoon. On opening a case of southern smilax a live gray squirrel suddenly emerged. Mr. Scat out on tne coal barons by each and every florist discovering a coal mine on his own prem- ises. Holiday business in general was ex- tra good, there being a good demand for all stock. I think the demand for cut flowers tills year was ratlier in excess of last season, although good plants sold well — poinsettias. azaleas and ardisias in the lead, followed by cyclamens, Lor- raine begonias, primroses and Roman hyacinths in pots and pans. Prices ruled a little higher this year. Palms, rubbers and Boston ferns sold Mell the week before Christmas, and with the mild weather we had up to Christmas eve there was no trouble in delivering, but very little stock getting frozen. Te.\ep. ONdNNATL The Market. Stock of all kinds has lieen short since Christmas, and anything that is at all good is quickly jiickcd up. A little sec- ond and tliird grade is seen after the morning's business is over, but it is of the kind which is hard to sell at any price. And the worst of it all is, there is no prospect for an immediate change for the better. We need more good stock to fill all of our orders, but we simply cannot get it. Trade after Christmas was very good, in fact better than was expected. New Year's business did not amount to a great deal, nevertheless everything rea- sonably good was sold out and at Christ- mas prices. In many cases the figures averaged higher. Considering that busi- ness was a trifle quiet, it was perhaps a good thing that stock was scarce. Had there been a good supply there is no telling what might have happened. Trade is now taking its usual post-hol- iday rest, which is to be expected. There are, though, quite a few decorations on for this week, and many flowers will be used. Julius Baer had one for the 6th which was the largest and most elabor- ate seen in this city for some time. T. W. Hardesty & Co. were busy with a large one on Monday. There is also con- siderable funeral work, which helps to move the seconds and thirds, with which, as a rule, this market is well supplied. Prices on all kinds of stock have dropped somewhat and are now just a trifle liigher than they were before the holidays. Good stock being scarce, it is held stiff at quoted figures. Harrisii lilies are very popular of late and sell well. Bulbous stock is moving somewhat better. Violets are very scarce. The few that are grown around here are not blooming well, and we de- pend upon those shipped in for main supply. Orchids are in better demand this win- ter than ever before. A great numl>er of them are being handled and more could be used. Both Asparagus Sprengeri and plu- mosus are getting scarce. Tliere seems to be plenty of smilax. Asparagus Spren- geri is daily becoming more popular and great quantities are being used. Several growers are planting considerable of it. and within another year the demand will be well taken care of. Notes. Tlie regular monthly meeting of the florists' society will be held Saturday evening, January- 10, in the dub rooms over the Jabez Elliott flower market. Dick Witterstactter reports being well pleased with Cliristmas trade. He had a large cut of his high-grade fancy carnations, and tliej' brought a good price. C. J. OiiMER. KANSAS CITY. Dark weather for a considerable time preceding Christmas threatened a short- age of stock, but there was enough to go around, with a volume of sale-s amounting to about 25 per cent more than last year. Christmas eve the bot- tom dropped out of the thermometer and zero weather made a great amount of extra work wrapping plants. Ixir- raines and azaleas easily took the lead in plants and a large numl)er were dis- posed of. Poinsettias were not much in evidence. All kinds of greens sold well and all dealers were entirely cleaned out. The town was flooded with Christmas trees; but very few were left. Rock kept twenty people busy all night December 23 and 24, getting out orders. He handled a fine lot of azal- eas, Jjorraines and poinsettias. Newell had a nice thing in an order for twenty-five boxes from one man at .$5 per. Tlie gentleman who bought tliese boxes distributed them to friends living in his own neighborhood. This was Lawrence Schwager's first tlhristmas. but he succeeded in doing his share of the business. He had a particularly large trade in trees and greens. Miss Dalley reported a good business. She was badly handicapped liv her head clerk being laid up just at the time he was most needed. Barbe was in jusc right with a big crop of carnations, azaleas, ijorraines and other plants. The New Year's season was a surprise to all, and the leading expression con- cerning it was, "I never thought it." Prices held well up to the week before, and as there had been sunshine, stock was plentiful and of good quality. I hope 11. is an indication for the coming year. Tom Cane, clerk for Lawrence Schwager, is laid up with a sprained ankle. In his haste to wait on an early morning customer he slipped and fell. Haste is always commendable, but the quality should be exercised with discre- tion by one not habitualh' used to it. John M. Veset. ST. LOUIS. The Market. New Year's day trade was quite a sur- prise to some of the florists, and most of them report business away ahead of last year. The old custom of keeping open house was revived this year and a great many cut flowers were used to decorate the tables and parlors. Some of the downtown florists report that they were caught short of stock, not think- ing that the day would bring iiiuch de- mand, and were very much surprised at the call for cut stuff. The weather was delightful, which was very enjoyable to all, making deliveries pleasant and easy of accomplishment. Referring to Christmas trade, which is still the talk among the trade when they meet, one feature was the increasing demand for plants, both flowering and foliage. Florists who maKC a specialty of plants and have greenhouses at- tached to their stores had a surprisingly large demand for this stock. F. C. We- ber, Geo. Waldbart, Jlrs. Ayers. Tlieo. ISIiller and Mary Ostertag, who have stores of this kind, report the best Christmas trade in plants in years. C. Young & Sons Co. and Ellison & Tesson. who also handled a large number of plants, report a great sale on Christ- mas. As to prices on cut flowers at whole- sale this year, the growers will have a big surprise when they receive their re- turn checks from the commission men. Much of the stock was of fine quality an0 drawers and a ]4-foot shelf showcase. Give an otTer for pari or all. H. W. Koerner. Station B., Milwaukee. Wis.

The Xmas trade in this city was one of the heaviest on record and every one seems to have had his share. Prices ruled about the same as other years, the greatest demand being for tlie higher grades. There seemed to be more money to spend on tiowers, and anytliing of real merit was bouglit eagerly. The supply of blooming plants was hardly up to the demand, and nothing nice was left over. Two of our leading retailers were almost sold out of plants by the 23rd. Lorraines, cyclamen and poinsettias were the leaders. The weather was against the growers here, as elsewhere. There were not three bright days in at least two weeks previous to Xmas, and with the usual demand trebled, it made the growers hustle to keep their promises. There was very little pickling, and con- sequently there is less kicking about poor stufl' than usual. Looks as though our growers are learning a few things. On January 13 the State Society holds its annual meeting and in connection there will be an exhibition of flowers and plants. There are to be awarded a silver and bronze medal for a novelty of American production not yet in com- merce. Only Indiana members to com- pete. Officers will be elected at this meeting and a full attendance is re- quested as much important business is to come before the society. A. B. Messrs. M. Rice & Co., the florists' supply dealers. Philadelphia, send us a very handsome calendar for 1903. It has four sheets and on each appears an artistic colored portrait of a charming maiden. The calendar for three months of the year appears below the portrait on each sheet, while the business card of the firm is printed in the upper cor- ner on a ribbon, each sheet having a different colored ribbon. It is certainly a very attractive calendar. r.ALEsnuRG, III. — Mr. and Mrs. I. L.

Christmas has come and gone and the demand for flowers of all kinds never better. Holly and other greenerj- went well at very good prices. The Lake View Rose Gardens were taxed to the utmost and whilst they handled im- mense quantities of roses and carna- tions, there was a shortage in several lines. Taking into consideration the long absence of sunlight stock was of excellent quality. Hea\y orders for New Year's kept Supt. Roney on the anxious seat, and .»r. A. N. Broad- head realizes there is not yet sufficient glass to produce enough stock to lill orders at such times as these, ^\^lat was most needed was a wizard to change dull weather into bright. Plants sold well. Palms and Boston ferns, with azaleas, were in strong force. The Garden's retail store made a hand- some appearance under the skillful hand of Artist Heclas, who did himself proudly. The" Walter Mott Seed & Bulb Co. made quite a showing with seasonable goods. One show window was occupied by an Indian basket weaver during the holiday week and created quite an at- traction, at the same time proving a paying advertisement. A department for grain and feed has been added. Tliis will assist in promoting local trade. Walter is much encouraged with the first year's business for the new house. E.M. TROUBLE WITH BOILER. Replying to H. M. 51., in view of the fact tliat two or three hours' firing is necessary and assuming that the boiler in question is as stated, a 10 horse-power of usual proportions, the trouble is caused, undoubtedly, by defective com- bustion, which may be due to several causes, for instance, improper firing and manipulation of the dampers, poor fuel, or some high building, trees or other ob- struction causing a down draft on the chimney. We would suggest that all the flues be thoroughly cleaned out and an inspection be made to see that no cold air leaks in at the chimney connection or at any point other than through the ash pit, then try it with a thin fire. If this does not give the desired results, a higher stack will be necessary. Your correspondent does not state Tiow much radiation he is operating from the boiler. In any case it should not -exceed 900 square feet, measuring all mains; 800 feet we consider a reasonable amount in greenhou.se heating to put on a standard 10-horse-power boiler. Henry W. Gibbons. New York. The Denver & Rio Grande Railway ■has announced its intention of beautify- ing the stations along its system by eon- verting them into small parks. The ■company has a nursery at Provo, where there are Go.OOO catalpas about ready •for planting. '^^sm^nM k>«^.<«^<«^*^'*^<«^. I I CARNATION CUTTINGS. We root 27,000 a week. 244,00} ready to ship.

RUTHERFORD, N. J. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. The Christmas Trade. The dull weather of the past month had a depressing efl'ect on the quantity, as well as the quality, of tlie Xmas cut. As it was, there was some high- grade stock oft'ered, and also consider- able trash. But it was Xmas and every- thing went. Carnations, except red, were in fairly good supply. The red were cleaned out at first rush. Roses were scarce, and red not to be had for love nor money. As for American Beauties, there were vej.y few on the market and they brouglit good prices. There was an abundance of Romans and paper whites. Poin- settias were all ordered three days be- fore Xmas and no more were to be had. Azaleas sold fairly well, although there were some white left over. Color is what is wanted more than white, and on every hand j'ou hear the plaint, "Haven't you got something in red? Not even a plant left? Oh my! what shall I get; I did so much want red!" As predicted, a heavy trade was done in holly, loose and in wreaths, most of the latter being tied with red bows. One firm alone sold 200 cases. Very little mistletoe was handled; the qual- ity was poor and prices high. The use of ground pine wreathing is still de- clining, not so much being used this year as last. Very little attempt was made at ar- tistic display by the stores, the windows being filled with plants for sale. Henry Smith had festoons of green around the store, and at each loop was hung a bell of red paper, neatly gotten up. Wholesale prices ranged a, little lower than Chicago prices, while retail prices were as follows: American Beauties, anything up to $1,50 each; other roses, $2 to $3 per dozen. Carnations, 75 cents to $1 per dozen; Prosperity and Lawson, $1.25 per dozen. Lilies, $4 per dozen. Romans, paper whites and valley, 75 cents. There were a great many pans of Romans, also valley. Vio- lets were scarce and wholesaled at $2.50 and $3.00 per 100. On the whole, trade was some better than last year. The demand was general rather than for anything special, unless for something red. Shipping trade was excellent, although the high wholesale prices out it down some. Fault is al- ready being found with the raised ex- 'press charges. Towns along the line of the Interurban railway have suddenly found it convenient to have their flowers sent on the Interurban and not by ex- press. Business still continues brisk, as society is very active with weddings and receptions. G. F.

The Weekly Florists' Review, 287 ^ THE RETAIL FLORIST TABLE OR VASE BUNCH. The accompanying engraving i.s from a photograph of a .so-called table vase or hand bunch of about fifty Bridesmaid and La France roses. It was arranged by Mr. Walz, using some of the same flowers that were used in the funeral bunches of roses illustrated some time since. Asparagus plumosus is used to add grace to the bunch. Such bunches are used in a variety of ways. In vases on the table, the mantel or other suitable situation, and being made up at the store are quickly put in place when decorating a house. They can also be used as hand bunches, in which case more care is used in finish- ing what might be termed the handle and the asparagus placed less loosely. This illustration, showing one of the more simple forms of arrangement, should have appeared earlier in our se- ries. We expect to present next week a com- prehensive article on brides' bouquets, illustrated by four engravings from pho- tographs of bouquets arranged by four different artists. And the week after that we shall have a similar article on bridesmaids' bouquets, illustrated by four engravings of such bouquets, also arranged by different artists. ROSES. Seasonable Hints. The protracted dull and cloudy weath- er which prevents frequent syringing is favorable to the increase of red spider, and great care and precaution must be used to keep them in check. In Meteor houses, particularly, where a high temperature must be maintained, they, if neglected, will increase with amazing rapidity, and create a great deal of damage in a very short time. Advan- tage should be taken of every clear day to syringe them thoroughly, so that the undersides of every leaf get a good wash- ing, and sufficient force must be applied to dislodge the spider and break up the web, paying particular attention to cor- ners and all places where the heat is likely to concentrate, as these are its favorite haunts and breeding places. Many are the compounds recommended for the prevention and extermination of the pest, but in a rose house there are none to compare with cleanliness and an intelligent use of the syringe. In a season like the present, when from lack of sunshine, soil and foliage dry slowly, extra care should be taken to use as little water in the operation as is con- sistent with success. By using a "Childs" nozzle, with spoon attachment syringing can be accomplished efficiently with half the volume of water generally applied. By keeping shoots and branches well tied up and allowing no foliage to strag- gle over the sides of the bench, where they cannot be sprayed with the syringe, it is much easier to keep the spider in subjection. A careful watch for spider should also be kept on Beauty houses; the density of the foliage affords them a shelter from which it is difficult to dis- lodge them after they have acquired a good foothold. Other pests, especially green fly. will have to be attended to periodically, as this is a season which peculiarly suits such soft-bodied insects, which, as a rule, are shy of bright sunshine. By the way, some years ago, when on a trip through England, I visited the extensive rose nurseries of Dickson & Sons, Chester, and in a conversation with one of their oldest growers he informed degrees night temperature is too high." Day temperature should range from 62 degrees during cloudy weather to 72 degrees in bright sunshine. Ribes. AZALEA MOLLIS, ETC. Subscriber asks: "How long and in what temperature does it take to force Azalea Mollis, Viburnum plica- tum and Dicentra spectabilis for Kaster ?" Tlie first two are hardy shrubs and we will deal with them first. The time it takes for the shrubs to be forced into flower will depend a good deal on the temperature, and they are better l>rought along moderately fast than rushed in a very high temperature. As both these shrubs are sold as decor- ative plants, and not as cut flowers, they are much more satisfactoiy to the purchaser when not over forced. Allow seven weeks for the Azalea mollis and eight weeks for the Viburnum. Give them 50 degrees at night for the first three weeks, raising the temper- ature 5 to 10 degrees if thcj- need it for the last three or four weeks. Spray Table, Vase or Hand Bunch. me that aphis were always most numer- ous during the prevalence of east winds, and recently in an English publication I came across the same statement, but could find no reason given why an east wind, which is usually the coldest and most disagreeable of summer winds in that locality, should best suit this soft and frail insect. Is there any record if an east wind has a like eflfect in this part of the globe? In last week's issue, replying to J. R. E., an omission slightly altered the mean- ing of a sentence, which should read: "Even when in the best of health CO them dailj' until the flowers appear. Especially is this helpful when first brought in. Give the Dicentra seven weeks, and it should not be over 50 degrees at night and in a light house, or it will be soft and useless. Subscriber spelled this beautiful hardy perennial "Dielytra," as it used to be written forty yearsi ago. Nicholson calls it "Dicentra,'' and that is correct; it also has the great advantage of being easier to spell and pronounce. I have never forced Viburnum pli- catum, but have V. opulis — the com- 288 The Weekly Florists' Review* Januakv 15, 1003. mon snowball. Are you sure, Sub- scriber, that it is not opulis j'ou have? V. plicatum is the better shrub, often calleel the liigh bush cranberry from its fruit, but V. opulis is. I think, a bet- ter shrub for forcing; still I may be mistaken. William Scott. CARNATION NOTES-WEST. The Carnation Society Convention. The most important event of the year in so far as the carnation is concerned is to take place at Brooklyn in February. Every carnation grower, and I might say that every florist in the country, will readily understand that I am re- ferring to "the annual convention of the American tarnation Society. The lead- ing question just now is, "are you going';" and I am glad to know that in many instances the answer is "yes," even if it is sometimes coupled with "if I can get away," or "if my blooms are worth taking," etc. These gatherings are great educators to those "who attend and every grower at least should make an effort to go. haps; there are too many that you want to remember. While you are looking over the new ones try to have a talk with the exhibitor and post yourself as to the particular qualities of the variety you think you want, its requirements, etc. You know a man can tell you bet- ter about these things in conversation than he can in a letter, and you have more chance to ask questions. If you have some fine blooms at home take some along and see how they com- ])are with those from other growers; perhaps they will not lock so fine among Ihe top notchers as they did at home, when there were no better around. You can soon find out where you are at. Perhaps you have some seedlings of your own. as many of us have, and some of them look to" you as though they stood way above everything else in their color, and perhaps you really have a world- beater. Bring them along and compare them WMth the test there are and let others see what you have accomplished. Tliere is no class of men that will give you due credit quicker and more un- stintingly than our carnation growers and hybridists. They know what it House of Liberty at Geo. Reinberg's, Chicago. Photographed Oct. 15. if only for a day. Here you can see the cream of the carnation blooms from the leading growers from all parts of our land and you are able to get an idea where you stand among the carnation growers of the day. And what is per- haps more directly profitable to you, is you can see what are the highest grade varieties, for here you can ste vases full of every meritorious varietj', and sometimes a few without merit. Y'ou can also become acquainted with all the new varieties that are to be put on the market in the very near future and you can compare them with the leaders of what arc already on the market. This alone will pay you for going if you are in the habit of investing in a few hun- dred of the new ones each year, as you are able to know what you are buying. Take your note book along and take plenty of notes, because you cannot re- member all you want to fr««i now until next vear or even the year after, per- takes to produce a variety that is an improvement over the fine varieties we already have and more than one grower has leaped into prominence through the production of one good variety of carna- tion ; yes, I could mention a dozen of them. There is no question but that you can judge a variety best bj- putting it along- side of anether good variety, and if this were done more there would not be heard so often from some one who left his blooms at home these words: "I've got tetter blooms than those at home, etc." I have seen the speaker of those words taken up a few times, and in every case he had to eat his words, although in some cases I think the speaker really thought he was telling the truth. There would also be fewer worthless varieties disseminated each year if the raisers would attend these conventions oftener, although the Am. Car. Society has done great things along this line, for without the endorsement of this society a new introduction will have a hard road to travel the first year or two. Another thing I want to say. Don't go to the convention and ask some friend to take you in and try to gain all you can for nothing, but go to the secretary and plank down your two dollars and make up your mind that you want to be a member of a society whose conven- tions and exhibitions are worth going miles to see, and help the good cause along. If you do take some blooms along of your "pets you will, of course, want tiiera to look their very best, and it is not too early to get them in shape. Select about twice as many buds as you want to take, buds that will be in bloom just about that time, and tie them up to their stakes so that the bloom will look up toward the light, as it will open bet- ter than if it hangs over. Take off all the leading shoots and buds from those plants except about four or five to each plant. I might, perhaps, tetter say, take off about half of them, because if you rob the plants you are likely to cause the calyxes to split on those that re- main. The idea is to throw all the strength you can into those buds, or as much as "they will stand. Give them a little extra food, too. and if the stems need a little stiffening give them a sprinkling of lime or a light dose of bone. Sometimes we hear objections raised to the way the originators grow and show such (overgrown, it is often called.) blooms, because the varieties will not produce the same grade of blooms under ordinary culture and the grower is often disappointed. I think that is a wrong idea, though, because naturally the raiser of a variety wants to show"}-ou how fine a bloom you can get from his variety if you handle it right and, in fact, you look at the qual- ity of the blooms first when you size up a variety and after quality you inquire about the quantity. You should have enough judgment to know that nine out of every ten varieties that are sent out are grown aboiit as well as they can te grown by the raiser. Y'ou would not invest your money in a variety if you saw a lot of ordinary or even fine commercial blooms at the show. The raiser could talk to you all day telling you that they had no spe- cial culture and that you could produce much better blooms, etc.. without avail. Your answer would be, "show me." The raiser must show the quality, and we take his word for the quantity. So tear this in mind when you go around making a list of varieties that you want to grow another year. I hope I may see many readers of the EE^^EW at the convention. A. F. J. Batje. CARNATION NOTES— EAST. Feeding. The days are now growing longer; all plants instinctively feel the influence of the sun's journey back; slow though it may te. it is a law of nature for all plant life to awaken from its slumter or make eflorts in that direction. It is now then, that feeding should be carried on in earnest. Some varieties have already been in need of a stimulant to brighten the color and finish their blooms well, partly perhaps owing to Jaxuaky lo, l'J03. The Weekly Florists' Review, 289 House of American Beauties at Geo. Reinberg's, Chicago. Photographed Oct. 15. the fact that the soil was too poor to carry them through tlie holidays. Tlie main lot should have done well, at least with a sliglit tup dressing, the fer- tilizing qualities of which have been car- ried into the soil by watering. It will be found on examination that tlie soil is well tilled with a network of roots. In view of this there is good reason to believe your stock is in a condition to relish and digest well prepared carnation food in a liquid form -and will give good returns for an outlay of material and work bestowed. We u.se barrels in tlie boiler room, which arc filled with water into which bags of sheep or cow manure are put : the very warm temperature there soon causes the bags to float; after floating 24 hours these "dead dogs." as the boys call tliem, are taken out and allowed to drain over night. This gives a clear solution wliich is pumped and forced, by n special pump, through hose to any part desired. One nuin at pump, another in the lioTise will distribute a large amount in half an hour. For a change of diet we adil at in- tervals to the manure a small quantity of hen manure or fine ground bone but never chemical manures, using this on a few designed for experimental purposes. We allow one half bushel manure to .50 gallons water and soak each bag twice, allowing more time for the second soak- ing. A great deal depends upon the quality of manure as to what strength of solution you will obtain, but see to it that it is not too strong; the color of medium strength cotl'ee is about right. As to time and condition of soil when applying, my opinion is that early in the morning of a bright day and when the plants are not suffering for water. If any dry spots exist in the bench, water first, endeavoring to have the soil even- ly moist, not soaking wet nor by any means dry. The operation of feeding can hardly be taught, especially when one is not on the ground to investigate. It will do no good to feed a batch of sick plants. The condition of soil when plants were benched mvist te considered, also the amount of bloom that has been cut from a certain variety, thereby impoverishing the soil ]u'oportionately. Certain varie- ties, notably liradt and most reds, have strong appetites, while Eldorado does best on rather poor soil, with possibly a week decoction just before Memorial Day. A perfectly safe rule to follow is not to feed stnmgly at long intervals, but often- er, employing a solution of medium strength. I'^rom reports I learn the disciples of sterilized soil are compelled to feed quite early in the season. However, this may be one of the features of the method. Geo. S. Osbor.v. RHUBARB-LETT U CE-HEN MANURE. Last season my rhubarb was a com- |dete failure. I let it freeze thor- ouglily before putting in house, and ]ilanted under center bed of vegetable liduse. Please advise me how to grow it and about what time to bring it in so as lo liave it ready by March 1. My lettuce is running up and not heading as in previous seasons. Is it the fault of bad seed or of the hot f;ill? Would a compost of ashes and hen manure at the rate of two bushels of ashes to one of hen manure make good, strong fertilizer? How would it com- pare with bone flour for strength? L. H. W. It is possible that the rhubarb roots were placed too close to the heating pipes and were consequently too warm and dry. If this was not the case they nuist have been old worn out plants or h. H. W. would have got something out of them. Rhubarb sliould be forced gently, a temperature of 55 to 00 degrees being quite high enough. The freezing of the roots before getting them inside was all right, providing they were thawed out very gradually. It is a wrong policy to move rhubarb or any other roots that are to be forced into a warm house while they are in a frozen condition. Leave them stay out in a cool shed for a day or two, then set your plants closely together in the place where they are to be forced, fill- ing in the intervening spaces with soil and covering the crowns to the depth ' of seveial inches. Water as often as the ecjndition of the soil demands, and it should not be over six weeks before the rhubarb will begin to give some return. The first stalks should be pulled very carefully so that the coming crop will not \>e iniured, and then the same plants will give a reasonable succes- sion of stalks. The cooler the atmos- jdicre the larger and heavier will be (he crop, though it will take a corre- sponding length of time to come to maturity. L. IL W. should get in his roots at once to have a crop ready by March 1. If rhubarb is grown in the dark it is much better, contains less acid, and therefore is much sweeter than stalks developed in daylight, and the leaves being of a beautiful reddish color give it a much more attractive appear- ance. To get the best results in forcing rhubarb the plants should be specially grown for two or three years in very rich soil, the richer the better, thus insuring vigorous, healthy crowns. Old worn out roots cannot be expected to force with any degree of success. Kxti-eme dryness at the roots will cause lettuce to "bolt," as it is termed, as will also too high a night tempera- ture. L. H. W., if he has successfully grown lettuce previously, should be in a jiosition to know if he has observed the same cultural details as before. I thiid'C tlie trouble must be in the grow- ing. A temperature of 40 to 45 is ample for nights. A warm fall seems to me a pretty remote cause for plants failing to head up in .January. The trouble should not be from the seed unless your correspondent has got hold of Grand Rapids or some other variety that docs not make a solid head. Hen manure certainly makes a strong fertilizer — too strong, in fact, unless used carefully. So far as the actual analysis goes I know nothing of the relative "strength" of the two manures, but I would personally have no use for chicken manure if I had to choose be- tween that and bone flour. Bone flour is safer, cleaner and better in every way for greenhou.se culture. Hen ma- nure is very caustic and probably the safest way to use it is in liquid form, putting 5 or 6 pounds into a 50-gallon barrel of water. I have used it in a dry state wlhen old. to mix with soil in the proportion of a 4-inch pot to a wheelbarrow of soil, with apparently good results, but I cannot say that I have much use for it as a fertilizer. Chas. H. Totty. CALLAS, In last week's issue Bro. Scott, in replying to a question, seems to he un- aware of the fact that in recent years a disease among callas has developed, particularly among those farmed on the Pacific coast, which has proved very destructive imder indoor culture. To convince him that the trouble does not always arise either from ignorance or carelessness in the method of culture, I 290 The Weekly Florists' Review, jAXtTAUY 15, 1903. will cite a few facts in my own experi- ence with it. For nearly thirty years I had grown "this stately old flower" successfully and had never heard of anyone having trou- ble with it, but five years ago our stock of roots (I dare not say bulbs for fear of those "terrible tawse") being low we purchased some California grown ones, potted some and benched the remainder, using exactly the same method of culture which had "proved so successful in for- mer years. After the plants had acquired five or six leaves these began to show withered blotches along the edges, which grad- ually spread inward. An examination of the plants showed plenty of healthy feed- ing roots, |but the edges of the leaf stems, just where they entered the soil, were covered with a brown colored slime, and alongside of the crown there was a small hole filled with the same kind of slobber. This kept increasing in size until it reached the crown, when the leaves toppled over. The under part of the joot remained fresh for a long time. From the Californians the trouble spread to our own grown roots, until by the end of the season four-fifths of the whole stock was dead. The next season we purchased a fresh consignment from a different dealer, and had, if anything, a worse experience, and had practically given up the idea of trying again. As remedies we tried sulphur in its various forms, lime (hot and air slaked), wood ashes, salt, etc., but nothing seemed to have the least effect. At this time we had an opportunity of purchasing 300 home grown roots, of which we availed ourselves. Follow- ing our usual mode of culture, the first year we had a very fine show ; this sea- son they are simply magnificent and are "the pride o' the place and its neigh- borhood a'." This is not an isolated case, as "Father William" can find out if he sends out a few tracers. Kibes. MISCELUNEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Seeds, There are a few seeds that should be sown now. Ccntaurea gymnocarpa, if you grow it at all, but less every year do we find a use for this once popular foliage plant. If you are well supplied with canna roots you don't want to bother with seedlings, yet if your stock is low and you want to increase it cheaply you can raise excellent plants by sowing at once. Cannas come largely true from seed, and if you get your supply of seed from a good firm you will be unlikely to get inferior varieties, because only approved varieties are now grown by any good firm. There is often but a small per- centage of canna seed which germinates. It's because it is old. I believe they should be sown as soon as ripe. Sow in flats of half sand and half leaf mold, and plunge the flats into the warmest part of your propagating bench, or you can sow them in a drill in the sand of the propagating bench. Some soak the seed in almost boiling water for a day. Others with a strong, sharp knife cut off the smallest piece of the thick covering of the seed. This lets in the moisture and starts germination. Neither will hurt the seed and may help, but if you are sure the seed is of last summer's saving it is unnecessary. Cannas. While on the subject of cannas. don't forget to look over your stock of roots just now to see that they are not start- ing. You don't want to start them yet for two months. If they are on boards beneath a bench where little or no drip reaches them they should be doing all right, but if showing signs of making a growth move them all over. That will check their growth. Begonias. Tlie bedding begonias of the Vernon type can now be sown and will make very satisfactorj- plants by bedding out time. The Ix'gonias make beautiful flower beds and are a change from llie much used geraniums and cannas. The seed is very minute, and if sown on the smooth surface of a pan of leaf mold and sand only wants pressing into the soil. Be sure to sow thinly. It is so easy to let ten times as much slip out of your fingers as should be sown of these minute seeds. As soon as large enough to handle transplant into flats an inch apart, and wlien they have grown to crowding pot into 3inch, which is as large as necessary, for these bed- ding begonias do much better when planted out if small thrifty plants. "Verbenas. Sow verbenas early in February. They make healthier plants than the cuttings from named varieties and the colors are nowadays just as good, and a mixed bed is just as pretty as a mass of one color. Hollyhocks. We were told recently by a man who travels that the hollyhock was a very favorite flower at the fashionable water- ing places of the East the past summer. I don't blame them. It's a most pic- tiiresque decorative flower and a vase of majestic spikes has an attraction out of the common. We sowed in Septem- ber and have plants in 4-inch pots in a house that is seldom over 38 to 40 de- grees during winter. If the disease lets us escape these should be fine plants and flower early, for they can be out as soon as the soil can be dug. Still they can be sown now and you can have them in flower by August. Obtain the best strain you can hear of, keep them in 50 degrees until they are in 3-inch pots, and in the very lightest position. Keep them grow- ing and by the middle of April they should be good plants in ^-inch pots and almost all of them will flower the first summer. Pansies. Ninety per cent of all the pansies sold in the spring are sown in July and Aug- ust and wintered in the field with some covering of straw or hemloc-k boughs ; or if wanted still earlier for tilling vases, then they are better in a cold frame. These plants make an early and beauti- ful burst of bloom and are soon over. Yet if I wanted to have a border or bed of pansies to last all summer, which they will and are well worth growing for the purpose, I would sow them at the end of this month and transplant them into flats early in March, which is all the labor there is about them and the coolest bench you have will suit them. At planting time — say end of April — they look small ane put out. I allude to such easy rooting plants as Januaki la, 1003. The Weekly Florists^ Review* 291 House of Sunrise at Geo. Reinberg's, Chicago. Photographed Oct. J5. ageratum, lieliotrope and coleus. A few put in now and shifted on will give you many fine cuttings later on. Lobelia gpeeiosa and gracilis for vases and the double sweet alyssum should now go in. The above and other plants can be pro- pagated now and the old stock plants you lifted can be thrown out. That useful little geranium, Mme. Sal- leroi, can be pulled to pieces and the cuttings put into the sand. Vincas, both the green and variegated, should now be increased by good, healtliy cuttings. Any latei- they would not make plants large enough, but those put in now root quickly and can by middle of May be in 3 or SVi-inch pots with three or four long, strong growths. The same with Abutilon vexillarium, which is so useful in veranda boxes. And be sure to propagate that beautiful Abu- tilon Savitzii. so valuable as an edging. Aealypha. which you may have had resting in boxes, should be got up and started growing in a warm house and it soon will give you young, tender growths which root quickly. Fuchsias put into the sand now will be the best plants you have for the month of Jlay and that is the month this old favorite sells. Bouvardia. If you want to grow any of the bou- vardias. now or within a month is a good time to propagate. As is known by all of you, it is next to imjKJSsible to root cuttings of this plant in the ordinary way, but it lends itself most readily to increase by root propagation. Lift up a few plants, choosing the roots that are neither too small nor too thick and old. Young, healthy roots, if only the thickness of stove pipe wire are all ripht. Cut the roots into lengths one- half an inch long. Don't look for any eye tor viiu won't see any. Smooth down a small space on your propagating bench where the heat of the sand is greatest. It should be 70 degrees. Sprin- kle the tiny pieces of root over the sur- face and press them in only enough to keep them from jumping about, when you put on with a sieve the covering of sand. which should be only thick enough to hide the roots. You will in three or four weeks see the little green gro\vths, and when an inch high they can be potted into 2-inch pots, and stood in a warm house. The bouvardia is an easy plant to grow and deserves growing. It went out of fashion because the fad for roses and carnations swamped all other flow- ers. Bougainvillea. Bougainvillea is a plant that enters into the sales of some of the Eastern firms quite largely, and those who have seen the wonderful plants of B. Sander- iana grown by W. K. (Deacon) Harris must admit it is a most decorative plant. We grew it as early as anyone and sold out most of our stock to the above named gentleman because the Buffalo market was not educated enough to pay $10 for a plant that would drop its leaves and bracts in three or four days. This is another plant that has inconspicuous flowers, but the bracts are wonderfully developed and colored, as in the poin- settia. It roots in sand now. Take the ends of the shorter growths, not too suc- culent nor too ripened, and although not quick to root, you will lose few. Cytisus. Cytisus racemosus is another Easter flowering plant that has to be propa- gated about now. One year old plants are more desirable than larger. Don't take a small piece of the end of a shoot; it will root but make only a small plant. Take off a little bunch of growth — a little branch with three or four leads and with a "heel" where it was detached from the stronger branch. When this is rooted you have a good start towards a bushy little plant; and grown in pots with every encouragement, in a light liouse during summer, you will by Easter, 1(104. have a 5 or 6-inch pot plant. Geraniums. We are at present putting in all the work we can on potting September struck geraniums from 2 to 3-inch pots. It's considerable labor, but I am sure it pays if you want good plants. These plants give a cutting about the first of February and then have the strength to make a good break. Don't, however, ruin the plant for the sake of a cutting. Tliere would be no profit in that. If they are not long enough for a cutting just pinch out the top. Wn-T.TAM Scott. GREVTLLEAS-CINERARIAS. W. &, N. send us some leaves of this tree (Grevillea robusta), which have turned black and would soon decay. The leaves appear to be some of the older ones, and it is difficult to account for any trouble with this tree (for Aus- tralian tree it is) unless they have been kept in some dark, cool corner and standing very close together, so that no air nor light could get among them. It is such a hardy tree (although not en- during frost) that without any rough treatment I have never known it to lose a leaf except from being starved in too small a pot. Give them a light house and room to grow. Any tempera- ture above freezing will do. The same W. & N. also ask about cin- erarias and say they are in "last pots," meaning, I suppose that no further shift will be given them before they flower. "Tlie under leaves wilt. The soil is good; I am afraid to en- rich it." The cineraria is a very peculiar plant. A really finely flowered ciner- aria is a beautiful plant in a private conservatory and that's about the only place where they ought to be found, for they do not bring price enough to repay for the space and care. If there was a green fly within ten miles it would surely "find out your cinerarias and come and board with you, but that is not the cause of the leaves wilting. It should be needless to say that the cinerarias thrive in a very low tem- perature. Forty degrees at night is plenty, yet they will not stand 1-2 a de- gree of" frost. Tlie soil should be coarse and porous, yet firm, and water should pass freely through it. In a close soil without any fiber I have seen cinerarias lose their lower leaves and many die mysteriously. In another way they are peculiar plants. Let them be dry for a few hours and the lower leaves will wilt never to recover, while over-watering will kill the whole plant. I am induced to think that careless watering is the cause of the trouble in this case. William Scott. ONCINNATL The Market. We are passing through the coldest weather of the season, the thermometer ranging from 6 to 8 degrees below zero at night. The coal question is not near- ly as serious here as in the east. In fact, we are especially lucky in that we are in no danger of a shortage, Cin- cinnati being especially well located. The various growers all report a plentiful supply on hand. Tlie price, too, though considerably higher than in former years, is nothing compared to that which is being charged in the east. The price of lump soft coal now is $4 per ton, delivered in the city; but I was talking to a grower who said that he was get- ting all he wanted of nut and slack at $2.25 per ton, delivered. Several out-of- town florists came here to bnv coal by 292 The Weekly Florists^ Review* Januaky 15, 1903. the carload, finding it much cheaper to buy here and pay the freight than to buy from their local dealers. Trade is good, but .stock is scarce. A great many wedding decorations and receptions used up a large quantity. There was also a great deal of funeral work, so white stock is especially scarce. The few good days of sunshine with which we were blessed during the past week have already made themselves felt in the quality of stock, roses especially showing a big improvement. Tlie supply, however, is very short, especially in Brides, and many orders had to be turned down. Maids are in somewhat better .supply than Brides, but there are not enough of them. A good many Me.- teors are being cut. but they so often come bull headed, and in other ways are so inferior to Liberty, that they move slow!}'. Liberties are in very short supply, most growers being off crop, (lolden Gates are doing fine. Some extra good stock is to be had and it is quii'k- ly cleaned out. American Beauties, es- pecially long-stemmed ones, are in fairly good sujiply and sell well. Alodium length stems, say from 18 to 24 inches, are the I>est sellers. Short-stciiiined ones sell well also. Carnations in all grades are \:\ rniuli better supply, and the quality is good. The only shortage is in red ones. I.jiw- son is beginning to split badly. Apollo is doing tlie same. Most other varieties seem to be standing the dark weather of Notes. There was quite a stir in wholesale circles this week, when the announce- ment was made that J. M. McCuUough's Sons had Ixjught out the Cincinnati Cut Flower Co. Tliis purchase winds up the affairs of one of the oldest com- mission houses in the city. Dock Sunderbruch, who was the larg- est stockholder in the Cincinnati Cut Flower Co., will be the manager of the cut flower department in J. M. McCul- lough's Sons' establishment. This ar- rangement is only temporary, as Mr. Sunderbruch e.xpects to soon open a retail store. W. Loebes, formerly with the Lock- land Lumber Co., has organized the (Greenhouse Construction Co. The com- pany is located at 32 Fast Third street, Cincinnati, and will do a general green- house construction business. Visitors were: H. M. Altick, Dajton, Oliio, and E. T. Grave, Richmond. Ind. C.

It has been mostly iiccn])i((l in sending out hills for the Ini-iness we liavc done, and o|>ening en- velopes witli tlie familiar remark "Please remit." A man who wants to pay and will pay as soon as possible (the possible is indefinite) should be esteemed, for he will pay as soon as he can draw on his Making Rcse Cuttings at Geo.

It is done with a very fine wire. Dick has it down to a science, and it is very hard to detect. Bulllx)us stock is selling well, there being an especially good ^all for nar- cissus. Harrisii lilies beat them all, and are sold before they are in bloom, at the remunerative price of .$2.50 per dozen.

He will seldom grumble at the goods sent and with pleasure liquidates his obligations, and is better pleased to pay a bill than to re- ceive, for what little else have we than to Ije at peace. Contentment is l>ettcr than riches, but the old darky sagely re- marked when he heard that quotation: "Ah kind a think, sah, Ah could get along wif both." We have had some sunshiny daj's of late when Old Sol ran his rainbow cotirse, or rather we were revolving so that we saw his genial face from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m., and we stood in a neighbor- ing cigar store and said, "We are blessed.'' As I in my feeble way have frequently said, we are children of our en\ ironments. We are survival of the elements and the weather was not made for us, and if we don't like it we can get ofi', as many are getting off every second. Did yim notice that excellent little story in the papers last week, dedicated to Adam Graham, of Cleveland? A phy- sician made his call on a very sick gen- tleman in the early morning, and as he was ushered in by the butler he remarked, "I hope your master's temperature is. lower this morning." The Scotch butler remarked: "1 wudna be certain o' thatj lie died this mornin' at (i o'clock." Ac- cording to the Scoft-li butler, his ma.ster is not feeling the terrible hardships of the coal famine. The trade in posies has dropped off considerably since New Year's, and th& great gait that "sassiety" went has left them with nervous prostration. Still business is fairly good and uses up all the products of our houses and incoming shipments. The new firm started on the 10th. Its name is Byrnes & Slatteiy and is lo- cated on llain street. Mr. Byrnes is a son of Colonel Bj'rnes, a veteran of th& war. I mean the real war where Grant figured. He is a tall, handsome youth who has had a year in New York. And Mr. Slattery has been ten years with Thorley. He belongs to that race which is not uncommon in the big city, known as the Ilibcrnico-Americano. Its .a va- riety of the biped that is quick and active and doubtless means well, but i& handicajiped with the belief that "Ney Vo;irk" is the center of the universe and all of us ]X)or creatures outside of it have much to learn. He is with all that a very genial, nice little man, and as I once said on a previous occasion, the more the merrier. If ifr. Thorley parts with many mora of his valuable assistants, what is h& going to do? I do really pity him; all his Craker Jacks are coming to this ter- rible, slow town. One firm has gone to great ex]>en.se to advertise that he has a Thorley man. and now we have the real thing in business for himself. If they can teach us how to keep violets two days without losing their sweetness, or American Beauties from turning blue, or carnations from slipping into slumber, they will have conferred a great bless- ing on our )>oor craft. In all other blanches we are more than proficient. I should like to have said something about coal tliis issue, but it is too late. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale says h& sees no solution but that government should, own or control the coal mines. He is not an anarchist nor an advanced socialist. He is the pride of this coun- tr3''s liberal divinity and philosophy. A gi-eat change will come and must come. Men are ruined in our calling, and if they become enlightened and temperate anarchists they have only followed the great law of nature, "self preservation." We are better off in Buffalo than th& great majority of cities, but bail enough to only strengthen my Ix-lief, wliicli I have had for many years, that the people should own all natural monopolies, which coal mines have now become.

Tlie volume of business was con- siderably in excess of former j'ears, while there was a notable increa.se in the de- mand for Ix'tter priced goods. Cut tlowers of best grade, particularly roses, were scarce, and the supply below tlie demand. The weather jjreoeding Glirisl- mas being variable, with only an occa- sional bright day, and several of our givjwcrs having their roses off crop, accounts for the shortage in that line. Carnations of the fancy kind were also scarce, and such varieties a.s Hobart, Ijawson,Spreckelsand Prosperity brought fancy piices. There was a good demaml for orcliids. such as cattleyas, helias and Cypripedium insigne, and many more of those llowers could liave been disposed of. Bulbous stock was fair in supply and of gofnl quality: valley and Romans found ready sale. \'iolets were plentiful and of excellent quality and enormous quantities were disposed of. Cut poin- settias came up from the southern part of the state where they are grown out- si-lor. chief of the Ag- ricultural Department of World's Fair, has had the title of Chief of Horticulture conferred on him by the executive com- mittee. Mr. Taylor therefore becomes chief of two departments. Mr. Baumann. of Richter &. Baumann, of Chicago, was in to«Ti selling sup]ilics. Mr. Rudolph .1. Mohr has left the Michel Plant and Bulb Co. Mr. IMohr will leave the city the latter part of this month to take charge of a place below Crystal City, Mo., which belongs to J. K. Kavanaugh. who will build a range of houses to pri'ow cut flowers for the St. Tvoiiis market. Mr. Mohr will have full charge of the place. Mr. K. W. Guy. of Belleville, was in town the past week and reports that he had a narrow escape from blood poison- ing. He ran iho point of .a lead pen- lil into his arm. hut is now out of danger. Air. F. M. Ellis, wife of Frank Kllis. the wholesale florist, is very ill and Frank is very much afraid that an oper- ation will have to be performed, which we hope will not be necessarv. J. ,T. v.. PHILADELPHIA. The Market. There is not nearly enough stock to (ill the orders. Tea roses are especially scarce. Business has improved consid- erably. There is great social activity. President .Tames W. Paul, of the Pennsyl- vania Horticultural Society, gave a bril- liant ball on Friday of last week, which was elaborately decorated. This has been followed by a number of affairs, both large and small, which have kept the market in a lively state up to the pres- ent time. Tliere is every reason to be- lieve that the season will be a rushing one until Lent comes in six weeks. The Street. Every newspaper man knows that his most reliable information comes from the leading men in business who talk to him freely on matters of general interest. Tliese talks are the pleasantest part of a newspaper man's work. Tlie feeling that be is being trusted, that what to publish and what to omit is left to his judgment, is very gratifying. Every newspaper man also knows that the ru- mors in the air or on the street are gen- erally unreliable and must be taken with a grain, sometimes with a whole spoon- ful, of salt. Yet the street frequently has things straight. Here is an exam- ple: William Munro has taken the green- houses of James Anderson, of Garretts- ford, near Landsdowne, Pa., and will take possession on his return from Scot- land, where he has gone to visit his fam- ily. Mr. Munro's first appearance in this city was about six years ago, when he succeeded P. H. Meehan as foreman for Myers & Samtman, at Chestnut Hill. Under his management this firm won the Beauty prizes in this city and in New York and kept up their reputation for high-grade stock. Some years ago Mr. Munro went to Lansdowne, taking charge of the greenhouses of J. Henry Bartram. The next jear he succeeded W. A. Leon- ard as foreman for Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill, where he remained until the end of last month. Mr. Alexander B. Scott placed the utmost confidence in Mr. Munro's ability. His many friends wish him success in his new venture. The Carnation Smoker. A few hasty and imperfect lines on the January meeting of the Florists' Club ap- peared in this column last week. It was one of the most instructive and delight- ful atTairs tliat the club has ever given. The carnation exhibit was very fine. As Eugene Dailledouze put it, "We are going to have some carnations before long." When compared with the varieties of ten years ago, every sort was a marvel. The general feeling seemed to be that the time had come when these fancy soi-ts are a necessity that people will pay, and pay well, to secure. Following is a full list of the exhibitors and names of va- rieties shown. Chicago Carnation (3o., Joliet, 111. — • Marshall Field, a striped variety simi- lar to !Mrs. Bradt; Harlowarden, crim- son ; Mrs. H. N. Higinbotham, Daybreak pink. S. J. Renter, Westerly. R.

Tlie Review is indebted to Leo Niessen, who is selling agent for the new carna- tion "Queen," for the following history of this variety. Queen is a cross between a pink seedling and Daybreak that orig- inated four years ago. It is a strong, free grower, making fine plants in the field. Tliis .season 4,000 plants were housed, one half in the end of August, the other half in September. From De- cember 1 to 24 these 4,000 plants pro- duced nearly 9,000 perfect flowers. The flowers are large in size, pure white in color, stems long and very sturdy, good calyx which rarely bursts even in dark weather; constitution, naturally vigor- ous, has not been weakened by over prop- agation. Mr. Neissen believes this va- riety will become a valuable market sort. Germantown Horticultural Society. Tlie Germantown Horticultural Society held its annual meeting last Monday evening. Tlic attendance was small, ow- ing to the bitter cold weather. There was an exhibit of choice carnations. The out-of-town exliibitors were Peter Fisher, Ellis. Mass.. who sent a fine va.se of En- chantress, which was much admired ; t^ie Little South Floral Co.. Natick, Ma.ss., who sent Queen, a promising white, ap- parently a coming commercial variety; Adonis, the best clear scarlet, was shown in good form by Robert Craig & Son. Edwin Lonsdale gave an interesting talk on begonia culture, dwelling especially on Gloire de Lorraine and its sports. He was closely followed throughout his remarks and afterwards answered many questions. The former officers were re-elected : President. Edward Neville; vice-presi- dents, Edward J. Weston, Albert VVolte- niate and Edwin C. Jellett; secretary and treasurer, George Redles. Notes. The Lord & Burnham Co. have estab- lished headquarters in this city at the flower market, where they have a hand- some model of their iron greenhouse, with ventilating apparatus, etc. D. T. Connor is in charge. A postal addressed to him, care of the Flower Market, 1228 Cherry street, will reach him promptly. Sanuicl S. Pennock is receiving large quantities of fine double violets. Carl Jurgens. Jr., of Newport, R. I., was in the city lately. He says this sea- son's bulbs promise to be unusually fine. His firm is shipping Tiiinipet Major, campernclles. paper whites and other bulbous flowers to Leo Niessen. John Rnpjiprt, of H. A. Dreer. made a .$400 sale of plants in one lot at the flower market the other morning — a good sale for this time of year. B. F. Dorrance was in town lately. Eugene Bernheimer was away part of this week visiting his oul-of-fown cus- tomers. The fuel trouble grows more and more serious; it is a black winter. Cinerarias and primroses are to be seen in the stores. C. S. Van Waveren. representing his bulb-growing firm of Segers Bros., is starting on a six months' trip through the states. Mr. Van Waveren makes his home in Philadelphia. Dr. Huey, the leading amateiir rosar- ian of this city, is busy preparing the colored plates to be used in illustrating his lecture to be delivered before the Na- tional Rose Society in the spring of 1904. J. Stern, who makes a specialty of wax flowers, has a large establishment at 1928 Germantown avenue, where he turns out many large orders, both for local and out-of-town customers. Our bowling team won a fine victory over the Pan-American team last week, scoring three straight games. Captain Moss was ably assisted by Mooney, Dun- ham. Johnson and Yates. This victory strengthens the team's hold on first place. John Dick, Sr., the widely known pio- neer florist of this city, died at his home, Fifty-third st. and Woodland ave., on Tuesday, Jan. 13. Mr. Dick was fa- mous for his camellias and roses in days gone by. He was one of the first to do a wholesale shipping plant business, and his establishment had at one time a na- tional reputation. Phil. NEW YORK. Club Meeting. Tlie New York Florists' Club's first meeting of the new year was held on Monday evening and notwithstanding the intense cold over thirty members at- tended. The new officers were installed and made eloquent acknowledgments of the honors done, and abundant promises of loyalty and labor for the best inter- ests of the society. Mr. Walter Sheridan read his inter- esting valedictory after two years of most efficient service as president, an- nouncing a membership of 250, a hand- some balance in the treasury and the unfailing harmony of officers and com- mittees during all of his tenn of office, and the uniform courtesy and good will of the club's members, which he l)espoke for his successor. Mr. Troy's outlook was optimistic, and practical. He urged the "getting together" of all interested in the express question ; the necessity of co-operation with the shippers; the desirability of the annual flower shows; the wisdom of summer outings, and the claims of the American Carnation Society. The vice-president was escorted to his post with much ceremony by the "Adonises" of the club — Messrs. Elliott and Hafncr. The speeches of Messrs. Traend!\', Young and Weathered were in their accustomed vein of earnestness and loyalty. The dinner and entertainment commit- tees reported arrangements already com- pleted for the annual banquet, at which a fine orchestra will discourse sweet mu- sic and select vaudeville artists will sup- plement the eloquence of the talent with which the club and its friends already overflow. Warren Ewell will deliver an address that will dwarf all past efforts, and many of the great speakers of the East are expected to "do their duty." Tlie attendance of a goodly company is already assured. Patrick O'Mara read the resolutions drafted bv the special committee on the death of the club's member, Mr. A. S. Mcdennon. which proved to be a beau- tiful tribute to that gentleman's memory. Two new members were elected and two nominated for membership. A committee was appointed, composed of P. O'Mara. Jno. N. May and Walter F. Sheridan, to confer and co-operate with the committee of the S. A. F., con- cerning the desired reduction in express charges. A letter was read from the sec- retai-y of the Cincinnati Florists' Society, announcing willingness to co-operate with the New Y'ork Club in any way de- cided feasible and best. Mr. Kelsey made a forcible address, speaking particularly of the high rates and unsatisfactory service of the express companies, and suggesting the desirability of getting in touch with all organizations and asso- ciations having the same object in view. A letter from the Brooklyn Horticul- tural Society was read, inviting the club to participate in the banquet of the Car- nation Society, February 20. Mr. O'Mara considered the "excessive charges" from the express company's standpoint, citing its many excuses for the added rates and telling of the nine months' labor necessary before the for- mer concessions were secured. He ad- vised florists around New Y^ork how es- sential concerted effort was in assisting the committee and the necessity of the strongest presentation of the case pos- sible if practical results were to be at- tained. Mr. Wallace recapitulated the ex- cuses put forward by the companies in justification of their charges — the spe- cial service given, and special wagons used, and special messengers employed; the danger of damage to cut flowers; the lighter weight per cubic foot of space required as compared with other goods, a 25-pound box of flowers occupy- ing as much room as 100 pounds of other commodities; the perisliable nature of the goods and consequent increased risk and responsibility. The treasurer's report showed the creditable balance of nearly $800 on hand. The secretary specified the achievements of the club during the year — ^its lectures, outings and exhibitions, its increased membership (22), and its average attendance (35). The president announced the following committees: On awards — Oo. Cook, Henry Siebrecht.'W. Duckham, Chas. Lenker. J. V. Phillips. House and en- tertainment— W. F. Sheridan, F. H. Traendlv. Robert Kuhne. Dinner com- mittce-^C. W. Ward. W. F. Sheridan, P. H. Traendlv, L. Hafner. S. Butterfield. Legislative committee — P. O'Mara, Jno. N. May, Alex. Burns. Committees were appointed to draw up resolutions of sympathy on account of the deaths of Miss O'Mara, sister of ex- President O'Mara, and F. L. Harris, for- merly of the Hunnewell estate at Welles- ley, Mass.. and an honorary member of the club. Mr. O'Mara gave notice of a motion at the next meeting that refreshments be provided only for special meetings of the club, and on the occasions of lectures, or for the entertainment on "ladies' even- ings" of the fair sex. Mr. Wallace was called upon for in- formation concerning the carnation con- vention and gave many interesting facts concerning it and the Art Institute and Citizens' Committees which are co-op- erating with the Brooklyn Horticultural Society; the banquet on February 20. with its provision for an attendance of 400, and the likelihood of St. Clair Mc- Elvery being selected as toastmaster for the occasion, one of the most brilliant literary men and orators of the city of churches. Items. Stunipp & Water Co. announce an un- precedented demand this season for their 296 The Weekly Florists' Review. Jaxhaby 15, 1903. famous ''Russian brand" of lily of the valley. Its reputation for •"quality" is beyond dispute. C. W. Ward is south on ,i business trip this week, which accounts for his absence from the meeting of the Flor- ists' Club on Monday evening. Mr. Nash, of the firm of Moore, Ilentz & Nash, celebrated bis half century on Saturday. Tlie occasion was "bon ton," as Millang, the Beauty King, was radi- ant in silk hat and diamonds in honor of the aJTair; and congratulations were poured upon the genial "author of the trouble." Ernst ."^smus is on a business trip west, and doubtless will honor Chicago with his presence. See that he returns in a well preserved condition. Kreshover is receiving some heavy shipments of wild smilax and many big balls and weddings are close at hand. He has the sole agency in New York for Caldwell, the Woodsman Co. and for \Y. C. Smith, of ifarion, N. C, the green sheet moss and leucothoe shipper; han- dling immense quantities of all these commodities every season. Mr. Moore, of Moore, Hentz & Xash, has been a very busy man lately, and as the result of his work over eighty signa- tures have been secured to his i)etition lo Thos. C. Piatt, of the U. S. E.\press Company, for reduction of rates. It will be a case of "When Greek meets Greek" when Mr. Jno. N. May presents it to the "Easy Boss." Mr. Moore says the secret of good prices is that "since Christmas not half the usual product in cut flowers ha.s been shipped to the market" and he thinks the shortage likely to continue indefinite!}'. February 3 the wedding of Eeginald Vanderbilt and Miss Niclson will take place and elaborate decorations have been provided for. Rumor says over 100.000 violets alone have lieen ordered for the occasion. Another week it will be possible to announce the name of the fortunate florist who has cor- raled this plum, and it will be a "fat" one. It was an unique "dinner" given by Henr\- Siebrecht, Jr., of Siebrecht & Son, January 4. to the firm's "old clerks" and stenographer. Fourteen sat down to the handsomely decorated table, Lawson cainations being used. The dishes were entirely horticultural. The salt was in 1 inch fern pots, 2-inch pots held the cocktails, and 3-inch the oyster dittos. The claret was in 4-inch pots — for a short time — 6-inch saucers held the pickles and olives. Tlie menu was writ- ten on birch biirk and placed on an easel of stemming sticks. Ice cream in 6-inch saucers. Finger bowls of G-inch half- I>ots with saucers to match. Cigars and cigarettes in 6 and 3-inch pots. A visit to the conservatories in the big delivery wagon proved a digestive influence and with cheers for the fair hostess. Mrs. Siebrecht. Jr.. the happy party voted the occasion a red letter day. It is a comfort to know in these days of coal shortage that in some respects "horticulture"' is not restricted. John Darcy. head gardener for the Andrew Moloney estate at Spring Lake, X. Y., found triplets in his Xew Year's stock- ing. .John had thirteen children before this Santjx Clans surprise, so the "hoo doo" is lifted and the business Adam originated takes its proper place at the "head of the procession." On January 13 the Greek element had "Christmas" thirteen days behind the "regular." Do vou know there are 10,- 000 of the Greek faith in Xew York City, and I don't know how many are selling flowers. Some of them on every prominent street corner, and a few of them with handsome stores and doing a fine legitimate business Their churches were profusely decorated for the festive day. The annual smoker of the Morris County Gardeners' Association was held this Wednesday evening, January 14, at Madison, N. J., and as usual a "full house" greeted the society. Unfor- tunately for those who desired to be "in it" at both banquets, this and the one at Tarrytown, the old rule got in its work. "No two botlies can occupy the same space at the same time." However, telegraphic reports indicate a fine re- union, a large attendance and a con- stantly advancing society in numbers and prosperity. The seriousness of the coal question is still paramount. There may be both calamities and tragedies to report before the solving of the problem. The "Wagon E.vpress"' for cut flowers from Madison via Chatham, Summit and other centers, runs regularly and is prov- ing a wonderful saving and convenience, while the practical lesson it is giving the express companies will surely bear fruit. John A. ScoUay. of Brooklyn, has just completed a 1,7S0 foot hot water boiler for Robert C. Bancroft, at Toughkena- mon. Pa. The new firm of Purdy Bros, is de- veloping an extensive violet trade and has some fine growers and shippers on its list. McManus' stock of orchids is always abundant and there are some fine speci- mens in his daily shipments. His out- of-town trade is growing constantly. W. H. Gunther reports a tremendous inflow of violets last week, with prices for all but the best away below the av- erage. Red tulips are in evidence at Saltford's and Chas. Millang's conservatory is again filled with palms and ferns for his wholesale customers. J. Austin Sh.wv. BOSTON. Various Items. Trade inclined to be quiet, and goods scarce. If there has been any surplus at all lately it has been in the matter of poorer qualities of colored carnations. Violets are not so scarce as they were and prices therefor have accommodated themselves to the new situation. Roses are particularh- scarce, but the advent of tulips helps out that situation. Severe colds, and more serious condi- tions arising from them, are plentiful, but Jlr. Additon. who has been most dangerotisly afflicted that way, is now considered out of danger and rapidly improving. One of the ojdest and most respected gardeners, ^Mr. F. L. Harris, for about forty years head gardener for H. H. Hunnewell. of Wellesley. has lately died. As the gentleman was about eighty years of age. that is presumed to be the chief cause of his death. .\ moment's run on business through ^[r. Elliott's houses at Brighton shows them to be in their usual business-like trim, with Brides and Maids now off crop, but seemingly very soon to come in heavily like everyone else's. The Kaiser- ins and Carnots in full rest and th& Jacques just waking from their long sleep make an interesting exhibit, and his arrangement for applying liquid ma- nure by gravity pressure is worth a long trip to see. The mammoth asparagua houses never looked better and his- Sprengeri is showing a surprising growth of branches just ripening. Mr. Thomas Carter, foreman of the- Exeter Rose Conservatories, Exeter, X. H., has been visiting among our rose growers and reports a pleasant and prof- itable trip. His hosts while here also express pleasure derived from his visit. J. S. Manter. OBITUARY. Claudius M. Ravier. Claudius M. Ravier, ilobile, Ala., the pioneer florist and nurseryman of Ala- bama, died January 9. He was born in Ranee and was edu- cated as a gardener and was a student at the Botanical Gardens of Paris. After completing his studies he spent some time in England, doing landscape work and later emigrated to America, spend- ing some time in Xew Y'ork and Roches- ter, and in 1809 reaching Xew Orleans, where he engaged in business as a florist. He married in lS7o and the same year removed to Mobile, where he started in the business at the present location, and where he has remained ever since and where he had developed a large busi- ness. Starting at first in a small way he eventually had four acres of land and 50.000 feet of glass. He was always prominent at the va- rious exhibitions and received many high awards for his various exhibits which were always of fine quality. He is survived by his wife and three sons — Louis, Fred and Claude — and one daughter. Seed Trade News. Piiii,.U)ELPi[i.\. — About all the seed houses here have been very busy mailing catalogues for the past ten days. Messrs. W. Atlee Burpee &, Co. have introduced an innovation in stamping their cata- logue wrappers. The stamps are bought at the post oflice in the usual way, and arc cancelled in the original sheets by the post office department before they leave the building, the stamps are then af- fixed to the wrappers as usual, the cata- logues are placed in U. S. mail bags, each state being kept separate, the bags being properly labeled for each state, and are hauled direct to the railroad sta- tion, all of which is done under the su- pervision of a postal employe who is sta- tioned at the establishment; during mail- ing hours. This plan not only pre- cludes the possibility of stamp pecu- lation by those handling the stamps, but it also insures greater dispatch in hand- ling and forwarding the catalogues to their destination; on an average from six to ten hours' time is gained in getting the catalogues to customers. The mail trade promises to be very satisfactory for the present. The receipts of one house are 400 per cent greater than this time last year. There is already great activity in placing contracts for 1903 crops among the growers in this section, and as a consequence they are much JANl-ABY S, 1903 The Weekly Florists^ i^eview. 297 elated over their prospects for large acre- ages at good prices. The catalogue of Hciny A. Dreer Corporation is a beauty; in it they excell all previous efforts; it requires Vc to mail it. Nearly all other seed ciitalogues issued here show big im- prnveiiients over last season. The price of White Spine cucumber varies greatly; some list it at $1.25 and others at $2.50 per pound in their retail lists. Des Moines, Iowa. — The Pease Gar- den and Nursery Co. are rebuilding and expect to be sufficiently recovered from their serious fire in October to handle their usual spring business. The past season was a poor one for seed crops in this section and prices will rule high- er. Indications point to a good trade the coming season, and a slight increase in acreage for seed crops. JIanitowoc, Wis. — The Manitowoc Seed Co. has been incorporated with a capital stock of .$20,000. The incor- porators are Albert Guttman, Geo. L. Born and Gustav E. Alter. Fire did $100 damage at the establishment of the Madson Seed Co. Jan. 2. It was due to a gas explosion and there was a panic among the employes, but all escaped without injury. Messrs. W. W. Barnard & Co., Cliicago, who were unfortunate enough to lose many catalogue electrotypes in a fire at their printer's, happened to have good page proofs of many of the pages of their new catalogue and by having these photo-engraved, will be enabled to get out their catalogue with but little delay. St. Paul. — Recent callers were W. H. Small, of Evansville, Ind., and W. H. Grenell and A, T. Ferrell, of Saginaw, Mich. Foreign shipments are now ar- riving quite freely and there is great activity in shipping early orders. L. L. May & Co. have issued their catalogue and are mailing it to their customers. The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, Ohio, says: "We are more and more convinced of the scarcity of the best grade of tomato seed, especially of can- ners' sorts. Very few offers from the back door of canneries is a feature of this season. Higher prices will likely be necessary soon." Harry N. Hammoxd, of Bay City, Mich., is in Chicago arranging for his catalogue printing, which work was orig- inally in the hands of The Review & Herald Publishing Co., Battle Creek, Mich., whose plant was destroyed by fire. Rochester, Mich. — .J. H. McCotter, who was for years superintendent of the Ferry seed farm, near Pontiac, Mich., will have charge of the new farm recent- ly purchased by the Ferry Co., near this city. Kansas City, Mo. — J. G. Peppard re- ports that his seed business of 1902 showed a gain of 20 per cent over that of 1901. The personal soliciting of orders among market gardeners about Chicago is now being pu.shed by the local seed houses. Chas. p. Braslan visited Chicago en- route for a short trip to the East. Onion seed is being offered very low to onion set growers. WANT ADVERTISEMENTS. AdvertiRemeotB under this head one cent a word, cash with order. Plant advertisements not admitted under this head.

Our Growers are greatly pleased. Will other Growers give us a trial ? CHARLES E. MEEHAN, Manager, 1228 CHERRY STREET, PHILADELPHIA. ME-WAUKEE. TheMarkeu Zeio weather is prevailing and our vcather man promises no change for the present. Sunday and Monday the ther- mometer registered 10 to 12 below zero, accompanied by a brisk wind. Tlie days, however, remain bright, and the supply of stock is on the increase. Roses are somewhat firm in price, but carnations have eased up and prices are ■on the decline. Violets are coming in freely, but the cold weather affects the sale of them. Sweet peas are coming in more plentiful and find a ready market. Stevia is on the wane, and about another week's cut will end a profitable season for the growers of this flower. Romans and paper wliites are coming in freely, with a fair demand. Smilax is scarce, but other greens are plentiful. Current prices will be found in the regular mar- ket columns. Items. The coal question is the burning qucs- li0l). I'.-lii. 140.00. 7-iii. IBU.OO.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. A Banquet. The Dutchess County Horticultural Society's banquet last Thursday evening was a great success. At the regular meeting of the society in the afternoon the following officers were re-elected: President, E. Lyman Brown; vice-presi- dent, W. J. Saltford ; treasurer, Chas. Mitchell ; secretary, N. Harold Cottam. The present membership numbers 312, a sufficient evidence of its prosperity. Tlie antagonism to excessive express rates is rampant here and a committee has been appointed to reason in person with the American express officials. The addition made to the regular rates De- cember 1 was 50 per cent. The best citizens of Poughkeepsie are members of the Dutchess County Society — assemblymen, lawyers, doctors, gar- deners and many millionaires — among them such well known names as F. W. Vanderbilt, Levi P. Morton, Ogden Mills, C. F. Dietrich and Wm. B. Dinsmore. The menu of the banquet was "high grade," and some would call it "fancy." The list of speakers included President Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, Governor Odell and Judge Parker, and the in- genious letters of excuse from these gen- tlemen for inability to attend were witty and appropriate. Frank Hasbrouk was the toastmaster, and a good one. He quoted from Roose- velt: "Strenuous regrets," "shooting big game," "strained tendon," "riding two horses on the trust question," etc. Cleveland reported "the Monroe doc- trine." "in a condition of inocuous des- uetude," "deep regrets'' — "impossible to get leave of absence from President of Princeton College" — "had to give a lec- ture to the students'' and "yours per- ennially." Governor Odell reported "ac- ceptance of invitation, but had been so busy writing annual message also that the two speeches were mixed up and sent wrong by his typewriter, and that he had so much work ahead to keep the bolt- ers in line he begged to be excused." Judge Parker telegraphed he had a let- ter of acceptance written but held it back, thought it was next Thursday, and asked that the dinner be postponed, etc. Then Attornej' Frank B. Lown a.s- sumed the toastmaster's duties. His Biblical comparisons were very humor- OU.S, and his references to the "job lot of speaking material," the society was obliged to "gather in from the highways and byways" because of the absence of the great men expected, were very hu- morous. He introduced the first speaker, Hon- orable A. Lee Wager, of pihinebeck, as "wise, good, modest, not beautiful, but the author of 'Beautiful Snow!'" He kept the company in a continuous roar. His wit was original and spontaneous. It was the speech of the evening. To hear extracts from it can give no idea of its eloquence. Richard Connell, the editor of the News-Press, was the second speaker, and was loaded to the brim with Washington and Rip Van Winkle stories, closing with an eloquent peroration on the beauty of the rose, the spotless lily and the inevitable law that makes us all "sweet slaves of sweet perfection." Deputy Attorney General Wood gave a short, profound, humorous and wise address on "Farm Mortgages," and Presi- dent E. Lyman Bro^vn, of the New York State Hospit^al. waxed eloquent as sub- stitute for Judge Parker. The toastmas- ter introduced him as the "champion fruit gatlierer," referring to the one hun- dred members secured by him in a single day, and every one a peach! Mr. Brown gave some interesting data as to the society, its large membership and successful fall exhibitions, John J. Piatt, editor of the Poughkeepsie Eagle, closed the evening with a most interest- ing historical speech concerning the rati- fication of the Union and the constitu- tion, declaring that the first salute ever fired to the "United States of America" was on Market street, Poughkeepsie. Tlie patriotism and enthusiasm of the banqueters were aroused by the stirring references to the glory of the old days, when almost from the very spot whereon he stood the cannon's mouth sent forth the voice of tlie nation's birth! Old-timers told me it was the Ijest ban- quet of the society and it was certainly most creditable and enjoyable to all who attended. Items. W. G. Saltford, of 288 Main street, is the leading florist of the city, his hand- some retail department being in charge of his sons, George and Arthur, which accounts for much of the Vassar College trade. Mr. Saltford's residence and range of 30,000 square feet of glass are on the banl. $1.50. 2. no Broadway Central. GO" Broadway, N.

Tliere are only two practical ways to remove the asphaltum from the pipes at this time. One is to scrub it off with a steel wire scrubbing brush or scrape it willi an old file; the other is to choose a bright morning when the ventilators can be thrown wide open and then fire to "beat the band'' and so burn it off.

Tlie general demand for last week's business was in funeral work. Flowers are good in quality. The supply of Maids and Brides is limited. Carnations are plentiful and help to fill out the scarcity 'of roses. A surplus of the poorer grades of carnations was very noticeable- last week. The better grades sold at reasonable prices. Paper white narcissus are still a glut. Roman hyacinths and Easter lilies are rather scarce. Tulips are not in de- mand. Mignonette, valley, violets and sweet peas are arriving in good supply, and sell readily. Last week we experienced some very severe weather, the thermometer register- ing as low as zero on Friday, Jan. 9. It remained very cold over Saturday and on Sunday it rained all day. Monday. January 12, zero was again staring us in the face. Such sudden changes are common in this section. While the cry for coal sounds over the countiy our coal companies have mil- lions of bushels just lying around in the way. A local paper published a cartoon showing immense piles of coal, with signs such as "Coal we can't get hauled away," "Coal we don't need," hung on each pile. 'Kotwithstanding all this, it is difficult (or us to secure a sufficient supply, on ac count of the shortage of railroad cars. Fred Burki contemplates the erection of an ad2 to 4 feet.

Mention The Review when y>ti write DEm^ER. COLO. Christmas trade was far ahead of pre- vious years and the demand was lor choice stock without regard to price. In roses, Beauties sold from $i to $20 per dozen; Liberty, $0 to $7 ; Bride and Bridesmaid, $3 to •$•>; carnations, $1 to $2. As all the florists laid in large sup- plies and there was noUiing left over, they are consequently happy and several embryo millionaires are to be seen around town, in addition to those that were here. Emil Glauber's stock of roses was especially fine, and the carnations from Benson took the cake, no one else com- ing near to him. At the Park Floral everything is in fine shape under the supcrvisiim of the new foreman, .Tolin Skedd. The finest cyclamens in the city, one plant being sold for .$8, and, by the way, that reminds me of a bet that John Berry, that veteran florist, made that a certain cyclamen plant would not have 100 perfect flowers out at one time, John won out on the ])erfect flower proposition, as it had the 100 flowers and more, all right, but he claimed enough were not quite perfect to win. John is canny if not a Scotchman. J. A. Valentine is improving, though he does not get out very much yet. The Park Foral Co,'s store windows were, as usual under Phil Scott, the attraction of the street. One was in Christmas red, a large wreath of poin- settias and red flowers and the other in pink with azaleas, etc. The firm did an immense business. Tiiorxe. WiciiiT.A., Kan,— \V. H, Gulp & Co., report Christmas trade as slightly larger than last year, Roses were mostly shipped in stock and were not of quite so good quality as last year. Flowering plants sohl well, decorative plants going slowly. Bulbous stock was in fair de- mand' onlv, the supply lieing equal to the demand. Holly sold well. Mistletoe was fine and retailed at 20 cents a pound. Taken altogether it was a fairly satisfactory holiday season. Springfield, 0. — The greenhouses of Charles Unglaub were damaged by fire (0 the extent of $800 on Jan. 4. The damage to contents will bring the total loss up to $2, .500, with no insurance.

When the florist makes a biide"s bou- quet, his first tliought is to make a bouquet which is above the common- place. He realizes that the best is ex- pected of him, and the bouquet which is to attract notice at the wedding cere- mony will in a measure be a standard by which his capabilities will be judged. He enters into the spirit of artistic ri- valry which is found in the preparing of every bridal party, and therefore the bouquet which he sends to the bride is just as beautiful in its way as the gown that she wears and to which she and her friends have given much thought in its making. At weddings people expect to see the latest fancies in fashions, or simple elegance carried out with much care and foi-ethought, and everyone in- terested in these preparations enlists his or her best endeavors to make the event a success. Let the florist take advan- tage of this opportunity to show his skill and good taste. His work will be impartially judged, for his name on the box in which the bouquet was sent will not be seen nor will the style in which the bouquet was delivered assist to form favorable prejudices, and the bouquet must stand on its merits alone. I>et it be, therefore, a good one. This may lead you to think, what is a good bride's bouquet, how does it look, what size is it, what flowers should be used, and what about the use of ribbons, etc. ? And my answer is, it may l)e one of many bouquets. It may be the next that j'ou make provided that you have filled most of the requirements of your special case in hand. If you have had the pleasure of seeing the bride to be, you will have had your first inspira- tion. She is rather tall, a brunette, and dignified in her bearing, and in less time than it takes to write it, you have chosen for her, if your opinion has been asked, a bouquet of white orchids or roses just breaking from the bud, care- fully arranged and formally, too, with ribbon as a simple embellishment. From her bearing you already know tliat her gown will be beautiful in its simplicity of design, and that her personal attrac- tiveness would only be lessened by flounces and a shower bouquet. Again the bouquet is to be for a bride of a lighter temperament, and each lit- tle gesture of charming grace adds to her beauty, and you think of a graceful bouquet of forced white lilac or a bou- quet of lily of the valley with a shower of ribbon and flowers, prettily arranged. Nor must the bouquet be too large (your recompense is not determined by the size of the bouquet), for the little bride must not be made to appear too small by the carrying of too large a bouquet. Now is the time that the graceful touches may be added, for they will have a pretty setting. From the above, the point that I wish to make is this: Make up your mind what the character of the bouquet is to be, and then make the bouquet with your intention constantly in mind. Don't try to remember how you made that bouquet for this or that person, for the chances are that you will try to introduce an idea which will not suit this case at all. The fact that your competitor is making bouquets in an- other way is no reason that you should try to adopt his methods, for the chances are that your ideas are just as good or better than his. Learn to have your own ideas first; have confidence in them and try to carry tliem out the best that you can before you try to imitate Of course in the making of the bride's bouquet sentiment is second to handi- craft. Tlie tying of the flowers so that they will fall into the right position necessitates the cleaning of part of the stems, and the lengthening and shorten- ing of them as required. Wlien roses are used all thorns are removed and when, for example, lily of the valley is used, all the leaves should be separated so that they may be lowered a little be- low the level of the flower spikes. This is done so that the finished bouquet will look like a mass of white flowers and not like a bouquet of white and green. The handles of bouquets are made as small and as short as possible that they may Ije conveniently held, and when holding them the stem will be entirely unseen. The use of green in bouquets should receive careful attention. Gen- erallv speaking, the less used the bet- ter. " In figure I a very pretty effect is ob- tained by the judicious use of Aspara- gus decumbens. This is so draped that it is thrown into pretty contrast by the Bride's Bouquet. Fig. J. what someone else is doing. A draughts- man who is constantly adapting his technique so as to comply with the style of this or that artist is not progressing much himself nor has he the pleasure of doing something original. He is not growing in real artistic feeling. It takes but few glances to tell if a bride's bouquet is a success or not, and it does not take a connoisseur to tell whether an artist has successfully trans- mitted some particular emotion to his canvas. We can quickly tell when mind and hand have worked together. ribbon. The adiantum ferns also have been sparingly used with the sweet peas, so that the bouquet has a snowy white appearance. The flowers are not un- necessarily smothered with green. As sweet peas have little foliage of their own, as we get them, the use of other foliage is necessary. When Swainsona is used much of the green has to be re- moved instead of being added. Roses have a beautiful foliage of their own and no other foliage should be used with the roses except that which is necessary in finishing the bouquet at the base. 324 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Ja.makv 1903. In figure 2 we again have a drapin : of Asparagus deeuinbens, but it has been used a little too freely. It gives the bouquet an appearance of being too hea^y and thereby makes it too no- ticeable a feature. The shape of the bouquet is very good, because it is well built up in the center and the massing of the flowers give the bouquet a fin- ished look. A bouquet which is well built up in the center shows off its flow- ers to the best advantage. In figure 3 is shown another sweet pea bouquet which is not radically different from the bouqviet in figure 1. However, it brings to mind one point for comment, and that is the size of tlie ribbon used. For sweet peas, it seems that (lie rib- bon is too wide, and that if a narrower ribbon were used and possibly a few more loops of it, the effect would l)e more airy and graceful. Were the bou- e.xpensive than the satin gi'os grain, but the beauty of the ribbon is also much more in evidence. When wide ribbons are used, there is a tendency to have the flowers overbalanced with the display of silk, and instead of adding to the at- tractiveness of a bouquet the effect is to detract from it, and the feeling comes over one that the ribbon has been added to lx>!ster up a poorly made bouquet. In figure 4 is shown a style of shower bouquet which may have many varia- tions. Instead of having the flowers showered in few but in heavy clusters, as is shown in the illustration, more ribbons may be used and smaller clus- ters of the lily of the valley. These shower liimcjuets have become veiy po]nilar, and now that most peo- ple liave become acquainted with them the novelty has worn off and a reaction is taking place for the more formal Bride's Bouque*. Fig 2. quet made of roses, the size would be right, for the character of the rose would necessitate a wider ribbon. How- ever, there is a tendency to do away with wide, heavy ribbons and to use the narrower widths, say No. 30 and No. 40, for hand Ixiuquets. The ribbon used is generally the Liberty satin, which has a satin finish on its two faces and which is much softer and more deli- cate than the old style cord edge rib- bon. Tlie Liberty satin ribbon is more shaped bouquets. This brings to mind the many discussions which have taken place and the many books which have been written as regards the relative mer- its of picturesque and formal landscape gardening. Both styles have their stanch adherents and both styles have their points of Ix^auty, the choice of either being a matter of individual taste after it has been decided that either might be adaptable to the conditions at liand. Just so is it in the case in the arranging of bouquets. What to one seems a graceful way of arranging a bouquet is to another a shapeless mass, and the one who believes that the mak- ing 'of a -bouquet in which one flower is carefully placed to the next is a crea- tion that is quite "chic"' may seem to another stiff and unattractive. What- ever your opinion is, adhere to it strictly and your customer will have confidence in your judgment. Don't be too fanciful in making the bride's bouquet. Should you feel the need of variety, let it be seen in the bridesmaid's bouquet. George W. Wiexhoebek. ROSES. Seasonable Hints. This season there have been fewer complaints about tlie ravages of thrips in Beauty houses. This is possibly ex- plained by the wet and inclement weather of last summer, as this insect is very partial to dryness and heat. They are usually more numerous after a hot. dry summer, and when there are two hot summers in succession they present themselves in the houses during the winter in countless numbers. As a means of preventing their en- trance into rose houses, gi'eat care should l)o taken to allow no weeds to grow and flower in the vicinity of the houses. These should be cut down and burned during a dry spell, and if the ground herbage can also be burned so much the better. All soil, mulching and manure piles should be kept strictly clear of weeds and turned over fre- quently during the suiir iv. as it is there they thrive, multiply Mini deposit their eggs, which hatch out readily in the genial temperature of the rose house. To exterminate or keep these from multiplying in the house, fumigating should be frequent from the time of idanting until the buds appear, as this insect succumbs very easily to the fumes of tobacco. It is only after the buds a))pcar when they can find shelter by liitling among the petals where the fumes cannot reach them that the real trouble begins. As the season advances when the rays of the sun are more powerful a frequent examination of tlie buds should he made, and on their first ap- pearance an immediate war should be waged, as any delay means an immense increase of their numbers. Fumigating lightly, frequently ami persistently with tobacco will usually l.e sufficient to hold them in check. As a too frequent use of tobacco fumes has a tendency to bleach the outer pet- als, cayenne pepper can be used as a substitute. To derive the most benefit from this method of fumigating it is applied somewhat in this wise: Procure some plates of iron and heat them in the furnace., withdrawing tliem just before they become red. Ivay these in the paths at spaces of twenty feet apart and clo.se the ventilators. After everything is in readiness, start at tho end of the house farthest fiom the door and place on each plate a spoonful of the pepper, work towards the door as quickly as possible, as the fumes are veiy disagreeable, and even dangerous. Keep the house closed for twenty min- utes. This should be i-epeated at least twice a week for a month in order la JANUAKY 22. 1903. The Weekly Florists' Review. 325 fatcli each successive brood as it is liatched. All infested buds should be picked off .-iiul burned. Picking off the.se infested buds and throwing them under the benches, as is frequently done, only ac- centuates the trouble, as the insects are very active and quickly transfer their operations from the lifeless to the living buds. To fight this enemy suc- cessfully requires great persistence, and tliere must be no let-up until the victory is complete. RiBES. PAPER WHITE NARCISSUS. Why is it that about 12 per cent of paper white narcissus does not bloom at all? We buy only best quality and highest priced bulbs. I have grown them when almost every bulb would send one stalk of bloom, and a great many two, but the past two years about 12 per cent failed to bloom at all. Has anyone else the same trouble? P. & P. Yes, we have noticed this year that a few bulbs on every flat of these did not send up their flowers with the major- ity, but give them time and they will all flower, although a week or ten days later. This is not satisfactoiy, because you like to clear ofT a flat and out with it to make room. Some bulbs sending up a late and weak flower is not any fault of j'our culture. These narcissus bulbs cannot be depended on to be well ripened and strong any more than your tulip bulbs, and I am sorry to say we have seen 50 per cent of these give us no flower even when not forced before March, and such standard varieties as Yellow Prince. That was several years ago when tulip forcing was at its height and poor bulbs were sent us because the demand exceeded the supply. Of late years I have noticed no failure among the tulips. A paper white grower has his troubles as well as we who force them. A sharp frost when they were in active growth would be injurious to the bulbs. If you have lost only 12 per cent, don't complain. This narcissus is one of the simplest of all bulbs to force; in .fact, there should be very little forc- ing about it. Tliey should be gotten into the flats as soon as received. No frost should ever touch them, and from middle of October they will want a light house and 50 degi'ees at night. William Scott. LILIES FOR MEMORIAL DAY. We have a ■ batch of Japan Long- iflorum lilies that are now out in frame that we wish to have come in for Me- morial day. How many weeks in a tem- perature of CO degrees would you allow to get them in bloom for that date? P. & P. It would not be possible to give any definite number of days that the lilies would want in a night temperature of 00 degrees to bring them in flower for the last days of May, because May is sometimes a warm month and sometimes it is cloudy and cool, and April is also a month of doubtful weather. The two months that these lilies would occupy the benches is the most crowded time of all the year with the men that grow bedding plants, as I judge P. & P. do, and therefore I should not attempt to keep them in a cold frame to a late date and then give them a quick forc- ing. Are you sure they are all right in a frame, and not liable to too severe a frost? If they are not stxirted at all and protected with an inch or so of short manure over the bulbs, a freeze will not hurt them, but if they have or will make a growth of three or four inches, a severe freezing will hurt them. Although a hardy bulb in their native state, this growth has not taken place where hard frosts prevail. If you cannot afford them space in your houses until the last possible mo- ment, then I would say bring them in not later than the middle of March. Tliey will need little forcing; the in- creased heat of the houses from the advance of the season will be sufficient. I would, however, prefer to bring them in by the first of February and let them come along slowly in a cool house. Un- der the latter treatment the coolest house you have will bring them all right for the end of IMay. My remarks about the value of bench room are not as clear as I wished to make them. To be bet- ter understood: While you must give these lilies a space in the 'houses during the crowded month of April, why not also give them March, when you are less crowded and a cooler house will do, and be on the safe side? William Scott. CARNATION NOTES-EAST. There is very little to be said at this particular time in regard to cultural directions. Your time will be largely taken up with daily routine work, such as watering, ventilating, disbudding, at the same time keeping each shoot grow- ing into a straight stem. Fumigation and feeding are also to be numbered among the various operations to which I have called your attention lately. It is a good time now to spend a few evenings looking into the financial re- sults up to the present time and what the prospects are up to and including Easter. We have had the usual reports about large percentages of increase in trade during the holidays just passed. A favorite expression used was, "Could have sold much more if stock had been obtainable." A better' expression, to my mind, would have been to say, "Would have realized more if we had watched the market closer and not un- loaded too soon." However, this is not all there is to be said. If some of the stock on the market could have been obtainable at these places, it would not have sold at any price. Quite a few reports gave it out that there was a decrease in business, and these reports did not come from small cities as a rule. Speaking to the growers, I will ask: Did you receive a larger price per hun- dred blooms this year than last? If not there is something decidedly wrong, and the more so from the fact that ex- penses have been higher, caused by scarcit}' and poor quality of fuel, for which exorbitant prices had to be paid. Perhaps you will remember in my notes of Dec. 4 I ventured to say this year's Iioliday trade would be a supreme test 326 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Jantary 22, 1903. of the so-called salting process. I leave you to be the judges. Now as to the convention. Mr. Baur has given you wholesome advice and in- struction in this matter, and I heartily concur in all he says. I can only add and say that his remark about "plank- ing down your two dollars'' is right to the point. There are always too many deadheads around any kind of exhibi- tion. Let us all agree to shake hands with the secretary first, leaving the proper tip in his hands. Geo. S. Osboen. WHITE BLOTCHES ON LAWSON. What is the matter with my Lawsou carnations? As soon as the bud shows color, white blotches appear on the pet- als. Otherwise they seem to be all right. S. S. B. Your Lawson carnations are infested with thrips, which cause those white blotches on the petals. This variety seems to be a special favorite of thcie tiny insects, as you will seldom find a bunch of Lawson that does not show these specks more or less. The reds also are most of them favorites of theirs, and they .show the blotches the quickest on account of the contrast in the color of the bloom and the blotch. Fumigate every night for a week with tobacco and then keep it up about twice each week for a month and they will likely disappear. -► A recent visitor, who is one of the crack eastern carnation growers, told me that a good remedy is to lake cayenne pepper and mix it with enough wood alcohol to make it inflammable, spread it out on a pie plate and raise one side a few inches, setting fire to it at the lower side. He says this will kill every thrips in the house, hut will not injure a bloom. We shall give it a trial shortly and see what it will do. A. F. J. Baub. CARNATION TROUBLES. I send soiiio leaves from my carnation plants. Kindly tell me what is the trouble and the remedy. J. S. B. The specimens you sent me were not in very good condition. Tliey showed signs of rust and a form of leaf-spot fungus. I was not quite certain of the particular form of the latter, so I sent the specimens on to Prof. Woods at Wash- ington, D. C, and he coincides vdth me. In his letter he goes on to say that the spot disease is likely caused by over- feeding or a stagnant atmosphere, etc., and I found in most cases that have come under my notice that the latter was the cause, "although too much feed- ing will, of course, weaken a plant and make it an easy prey if the disease once gets started. The proper treatment for these plants would be to pick off all the spotted leaves and burn them. Give plenty of ventilation and water only at the roots and stop syringing for a time. A few- doses of the Bordeaux mixture or the copper solution would help to check it. Do not propagate from these plants, but lather buv fresh, clean stock. A. F. J.

Short span to the south. Pipes not to interfere with the walks. Would like to have some flow pipes overhead and boiler as near top of ground as possible. -J. W. N. Ohio. In reply to the inquiry of J. W. X.. I would suggest for the ridge and fur- row greenhouses, 22x100. which he des- seribes in his sketch, an arrangement of steam heating pipes, as shown in ac- companying figure, with the intention of using up the 2-inch and IJ-inch pipes he has on hand. PIPING. We are going to rebuild our green- houses and enclose a rough plan of same, inside and end view. Solid beds for carnations and lettuce. Please lo- The arrangement consists of a 2-inch flow on the column under the ridge, grading downward from the boiler end of the houses to the farther end, then branching into the several lines of Ij-inch pipes indicated, these continu- ing to grade down hill all the way back to the boiler end of the houses; this is assuming that the houses are either on a level grade or that they slope down- ward slightly toward the boiler or east- ern end. The boiler In-ing placed at the eastern end of the nortliern house, it will require a 4-inch steam main until the 2-inch steam pipe for the first house is taken off, then reducing to .S-inch until the main for the second house is taken off, then reiler. If the outer liouses of the range have glass on their outer ver- tical side, an additional IJ-inch pijic should be added on these .sides either at the eaves or in the path, as preferred. The water line of the boiler must be be- low the floor line of the greenhouses. I do not approve of short span to the south houses, but if your correspondent has a preference for that form, the ar- rangement of construction and benches is good. The short span to the south house will not warm tip in the day time as will one having a longer southern ex- posure, and on account of the long northern exposure more fuel is required for heating. Henry W. Gibbons. New York. MOVING AND BUILDING. H. E. B. writes from a town in Kan- sas that he intends moving his green- house "to a better location" and has acquired a lot 94 feet front. Depth of lot is not given. Can he build a house 100 feet long by 16 feet wide and put in two partitions, making three com- partments, one for carnations, one for roses and one for general stock, using the middle portion for roses? He also asks whether one flow and three returns of 3-inch pipe on side will heat this house, or would it be better to make the four pipes go up one side and return to heater on the other side. He also men- tions that he wants to build so as to have as "little waste ground on his lot as possible," Now it's quite likely there is to be a dwelling house on his lot and he can afford no more room for greenhouses, for just as sure as this town grows he will want to add to his houses. Florists, however, especially beginners, can't af- ford acre lots on "Main street." I would make the house 18 feet wide, 16 feet necessitates two paths that makes the benches very narrow. The extra cost of another two feet will be but a little more glass on first cost, but will give you 200 square feet more of bench room as long as the house lasts. One partition is, I believe, enough, for this reason : The compartment devoted to "general stock" cannot suit every- thing, and as bedding plants and green- house flowering plants are most likely to be the leading articles wanted, then a carnation temperature — say 50 to 65 at night in winter — will be the best suit- ed for the general stock, so that no par- tition will be needed between the carna- tion and the plant house. Supposing you make the house 18 feet wide then. To be safe in the coldest weather — and remember you should always pipe a house to be at the right temperature in the coldest days of winter, not the mod- erately cold — then four 3-inch pipes on each side will do for the carnation divi- sion, and five 3-inch on each side for the roses. By all means let the flow and return be on both sides of the house. You will get much better results than if you carried the pipes all around the house. One flow and three returns of equal size is not good. Make it two flows and two returns, and in the rose house two flows anu three returns. If the house runs east and west the boiler shed will shade one end slightly, but I am not informed anything about aspect. I would rather make the end farthest from the shed the rose com- ]iarlincnt. as this end would be glass and would be lighter. In the bright winter days of Kansas a house running north and south would be about as good as one running east and west and cooler in the summer, which is quite a consider- atiecome ac- customed to hearing their own voices in public; good training, I might say. There was a very nice display of 'cut Ihjwers, but the severe weather kept away a good many blooms and especially pot plants, of which there is usually a good display at these annual meetings. The S. A. F. silver medal was awarded by mistake to the new rose, Franz Dee- gen. This rose being an importation makes it ineligible to compete for these medals. The blooms were fine and were shown by the S. Park Fl. Co., New Castle, Ind. The bronze medal went to J. Hartje for a white carnation of fine size anil quality all 'round. Baur & Smith's pink carnation Indianapolis was awarded a certificate of merit, as was also a pink shown by F. Harriett. Baur & Smith's new red carnation "The News'' was a center of attraction on account of its large size and fine stem, and they were awarded honorable mention. Stu- art & Haugh brought down some fine roses and carnations, several varieties of each. The Golden Gate are certainly fine, and they swear by Avondale for a money-making pink carnation. Gene- vieve Lord does splendidly with them, and their Lawsons are fine. Tliey were awarded honorable mention for their display. We missed some of the veterans who are always on hand at this meeting. E. G. Hiil, F. Dorner and J. A. Evans failed to make good this time, a rare otcurrenee. The former two no doubt had to stay home to watch their coal piles dwindle away, but the latter, how we envy him. His ventilator machinery won't freeze, and he can sit back and smile while we poor growers worry our brains about where our next car of coal is to come from. Items. Here, as at other cities, there has been a great shortage of coal, and a few places have had narrow escapes, but no one has been frozen out. Some are run- ning in a from-hand-to-mouth manner, however, and if all get through the win- ter safely it will be a wonder. Those who made contracts last summer are being taken care of, and the Island Coal Company, which supplies all the larger growers about here, assures iis that we sliall have plenty, and is doing the right thing, in some cases sending it in wag- ons a distance of five miles when they can spare no car. A rather discour- aging aspect of the situation is that we are in danger of having another shortage next season and that it may not be possible for the growers to lay in a full winter supply next summer even if they want to. Tlie contract between the min- ers and operators in this section of the country runs out in April, and unless they can come ta satisfactory terms there may be a shutdown of the mines for a time. The miners meet in con- vention in this city beginning Jan. 13, and it is known that they intend to ask for a large increase in wages, and un- less the operators are willing to eon- cede their demands there may be trou- ble. We were honored one day the past week with a visit from one of the crack carnation growers from the east in the person of Mr. P. Dailledouze, of Flat- bush, L. I. We had kno\vn this gen- tleman by reputation for a long time, but had never had the pleasure of shak- ing his hand. If there is anything you want to know about carnations just ask him. He was on a trip through the middle west. A. B. BUFFALO. We have had lots of weather the past week. Zero and snow to burn, or rather to melt. All this is seasonable and if things were normal we should say "let her come." As conditions are we pray for and are in a joyous mood when the wind is in the south and the sun is shin- ing. Charles L. Dole reports that he saw a robin sitting on an apple tree in Lockport last week, and a neighbor of his saw the same species of bird in the same locality and they were of opposite sexes. Both of these good people must be ornithologists of advanced knowledge to distinguish the difference, but that's of little consequence so long as it was "Robin Red Breast" for surely, although this joyful spring songster (and after- wards nuisance) is frequently a few weeks too early in his migration north, his appearance here so soon after the shortest day must give us hope of an early spring. Perhaps the lonely bird was mistaken in his course and intending to make a flight from southern Texas to Louisiana had been carried north just as drum- mers take sudden and peculiar flights, and that reminds me that there are sev- eral in town, but luckily I have inter- viewed only one, and he a very old ac- quaintance. Times were when the fa- mous house, or firm, or establishment of Pitcher & Manda appeared in the heav- ens and on the earth and its brilliancy and splendor, like our sun, made all else but planets and satellites. Tlie cen- tral sun has vanished and the minor bod- ies still exist. During the most resplend- ent period of this terrestrial semi-celes- tial body, it sent out an army of more or less able young men to proclaim that they were the light of the world and had the" goods. It was a horticultural de- partment house. Among these young men was Harry Bunyard and he traveled north, and if all the drummers for that firm had done as well as he it may have helped some. And so after seven or eight years of absence he appears again as bright and chipper as ever. Harry is not" one of those Englishmen 330 The Weekly Florists^ Review. January 22, 1903. who calls himself '"Arry"; he is bright and educated, and Dean Hole in his most lovely book calls Harry's uncle "The Emperor of Popomology.'' But Harry was not talking stone fruits or pomacious fruits. He was "spieling" for Clucas & Boddington Co., and you all know that they have everything to sell from a Russian mat to a mole trap. I regret that last week 1 posted my notes too early to tell you of the sudden death of Sam Smiley, of Lancaster, N. Y. Mr. Smiley began the growing of flowers at Bowmanville, a village twelve miles east of Buffalo, some twenty years ago, and later moved to Lancaster for better railroad facilities. He grew cut flowers and plants for the Buffalo mar- ket. He was about forty years of age. a most hard working, industrious and unassuming man, and was respected by all who knew him. Going out to see over his houses in the evening, he was later found dead in his boiler shed. W. S. NEW YORK. An Auto Trip. Mr. Langjahr, the Brooklyn whole- saler, did me the courtesy of a short trip through a part of Carnationville, Flat- bush, last week in his auto, but the visit was not comprehensive and many of the great growers could be seen only in imag- ination. Our first call was on Papa Zeller, whose vitality is remarkable, and a fair hope exists that this grand veteran among carnationists may be well enough to attend the February convention. Away out in the "rhubarbs" of Flat- bush — a mile southeast of Dailledouze Bros.' — is the range of Suydam, whose schooling with the brothers graduated him from a vegetable grower to a pro- ducer of novelties. He has a "strain" of mignonette which readily brings at wholesale from $2 to $.3 a dozen. It has no name and the seed is not for sale, but it is a Suydam good article and for size and sweetness it stands at the head of the procession. !Mr. Suydam also has a grand pink carnauon, a child of Scott and Daybreak, double the size of Scott, with 2-foot stems, and exactly like Scott in color. This also is an "uncrowned king" and of the no name series, but the price it brought at Christmas was enough glory for the season. Here, too, are Cer- vera, pink and yellow, a nearly white seedling from Bradt and Flora Hill, and a very productive light pink seedling of great strength and some fine stock of Prosperity and Gfov. Roosevelt, Gomez and Queen Louise. A little farther out in "the wilds" are the establishments of C. & W. W. Kou- wenhoben, once — before the "lettuce mi- crobe" arrived — large growers of vege- tables, now carnationists and mignonet- tists of no mean calibre, and finding at the cut flower market in New York a steady demand for all they produce. They grow about tlie same varieties of stock as their neighbor, Mr. Suydam. Tlie shades of night were falling as our auto sped homeward after a call on our friend from "bonnie Scotland," Davy Mellis, whose beautiful new home is artistically painted and decorated with scenes from the land of the heather, including the old homestead., "a wee bit house," he calls it, where he first began the nursery business. Mr. Mellis has thirteen fine houses devoted to about ev- erything a florist grows. His lilies are superb. Close to one of the largest cem- eteries in the country, his business in tlie planting season is enormous. Six- teen men are constantly employed and his charming daughters are in charge of his two offices. He is the principal grower of shamrocks in the east and his wholesale trade in this "17th of Ire- land" necessity is extensive. The sur- plus of his cut flower stock goes to Mr. J. v. Phillips, of Brooklyn. Mr. Mellis will be with the Flatbush bowlers at Milwaukee. Items. Hanft Bros, had the bridal and maids' bouquets for the Gruner wedding. The bride's bouquet consisted of orange blos- soms, white roses and lily of the valley, and the bridesmaids' of violets and gar- denias. At the Hotel Netherlands the decora- tions for the Reid wedding were artistic, the dining room being a bower of smilax and roses. At the Cliurch of the Incar- nation only lilies and Bride roses were used with palms.

It was beyond all expec- tations. Trade was mostly all cut flow- ers and prices were as follows: Beau- ties, $18 to $25 a dozen (with the $25 grade all cleaned up) ; Brides, Maids and Meteors, $3 to $5 per dozen ; Perles, $2.50 to $3 ; Lawson and Bradt carna- tions, $2.50 to $3 per dozen; all scar- lets, $2 to $3; ordinary flowers, $2; Romans and paper whites, $1; stevia, $1.50. Everything was cleaned up. We have had the largest funeral ever Been in this section, that of Mrs. W, A. Clark, Jr., the most popular lady in the state, who died on New Year's day. Every flower that could be bought be- tween here and Chicago was shipped in. The florists were completely played out. The Butte Floral Co., who "had the family order, got their designs mossed up Saturday and Saturday night and starting at 5 a. m. Sunday worked stead- ily, the whole force, till 9 a. m. Mon- day, making up. They alone turned out sixty-seven designs, in addition to thir- ty-six bunches. They also lined the grave and decorated the family lot. The business for the three days amounted to $2,500. This was a record breaker for Butte. Law Bros, and the State Nursery Co. also made up numerous pieces and it took seven carriages to carry the flowers. A beautiful gates ajar arrived from the Salt Lake Floral Co. A meeting of the florists has been called to organize a florists' club. EAMBL£S. s OW NOW! New Crop High Grade Seeds.

Towards tHe close of' tbe week the weather became sunny and the supply in- creased. Roses especially have held their own, and some extra fine Beauties, Maids and Brides commanded higher rates than above quoted. Violets had a bad week, though qualit.v is good. Orand bunches of 100 extras went for $1.00. On Monda.v violets continued to arrive in shoals. Several wholesale houses handle over 100,0<;)O weekl.v. The books of one house show a total sale to date this season of three and one-fourth million.

The colored cover is embossed and bears pictures of Burpee's Black Beauty egg plant, Burpee's Match- less tomato and Burpee's white Ever- green sugar corn. There are also col- ored plates of four varieties of onions, Burpee's "Halbert Honey" watermelon, seven varieties of sweet peas and seven nasturtiums. There are other taking nov- elties and the list of standard varieties is full and complete, as usual. The catalogue contains 184 pages and cover. Intending buyers of seeds can undoubt- edly obtain one by addressing W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia. Thokburn's 1903 seed catalogue is at hand. The list of novelties and vari- eties is as full and as interesting as ever and it is very handsomely illustrated by fine half-tone engravings from photo- graphs. Such illustrations, when well printed on fine paper as these are, are much more satisfactory than any other. Tlie catalogue is dignified in tone and appearance, as becomes a house estab- lislicd in 1802. Bu}'ers of seeds who have not received a copy can no doubt obtain one by addressing J. M.

Tlie regular meeting of the Utica Florists' Club was held at its rooms, Mannerehor building, January 8, with a verj' fair attendance, although several of the boys were on the sick list. It was decided to have our next meeting, Feb- ruary 5, a carnation meeting, and the club will be very much pleased to receive any of the new carnations. If sent to J. C. Spencer, secretary, 111 Oneida street, Utica, N. Y., he will see that they are well displayed and due notice given of them. Our Prof. Geo. 0. Hodges gave us a very interesting description of his trip to Florida during the holidays, which was more than enjoyed, and the boys who were not at the Tneeting do not know what they missed, as what he did not see would not be worth looking at. One thing I wish to mention, which is the nearest thing to our hearts these cold days, and that is that he stood on the place where some of our future coal is to come from. In fact, his description of everything was fine. When he said he was in swimming on Christmas day and lay on the sand, we all wished we were there. We are in hopes the professor will take another trip soon. It certainly is the next best thing to going yourself to hear his description. Our next meeting will end with a smoker and we want all the boys to come. Bowline. The Utica bowlers turned out in good numbers, and although the scores were low, we had a very pleasant evening. Perhaps the most sport was in the last game, where cverj-thing was reversed and the lowest man was highest. It would have pleased you to see the boys try to pick off the side pins and go in the gut- ter, which counted ten. We will not dare to give the score of this game. Fol- lowing is the score of the two games rolled straight: Ist. Spencer 105 Baker 132 Rowlands 94 Death 140 Tommy SO McGowan 142 McLaln 117 Hoffman 63 Balm 106 Cramer 58 2n(1.

Mention The Review when you write. MADISON, N.J. The annual smoker of .the Morris County Gardeners' and Florists' Society was held on Wednesday, Jan. 14, in the Brittin building, and proved like its ]>redeoessors, to be .a liowling success. No slur on the singers intended. About fifty members were present, as were also delegates from the New Jersey Floricultural Society and the Xew York Florists' Club. A business session w-as held before the serious business of the evening, when the newly elected of- ficers took their seats. The ollicers for 1903 are as follows: President. Charles H. Totty; Vice-President, R. iIc:Mullen: Treasurer, William Charlton, and Sec- retary, Charles H. Atkins. Tlie treas- urer reported no debts and a Italance of over .$350 in tlie treasury, and the sec- retary also made an encouraging report. After the business session tlie smoker was taken up in earnest and everyone claims to have had a royal time. The entertainment was furnished by New- York talent and was very clever and original. There was the greatest abund- ance of good cheer of eveiy description. The claret punch as brewed by the mem- bers of this club has been for years famous. That furnished on this occa- sion was fully up to the standard ( 10 above proof) demanded by the concoct ers and consumers. Tlie composition of this inmcli is a trade secret, but owing to the fact tliat certain fruits are used in the blending it is referred to by tlie name of "Tooty" Fruity. It is a treat to see Messrs. Duckham. Herrington and others we could name but won't, as they are prominent Y. M. C. A. members, hover- ing 'round the anteroom with anxious face until the fact is asstired that the brew is O. K. It is now some years since this soci- ety voted to do away with the formal dinner and substitute for it the free- for-all — sail in everybody — it's your own fault if you don't have a good time — smoker. It is now an established func- tion, that brings the members into the closest kind of fellowship and mutual good will, and helps them for once to forget the price of coal and other an- noyances. A true fraternal spirit is a great blessing in a florists' society. T. SNOWED UNDER. Please stop our adv. We are snowed under with orders.

Strong, 2^incratc after tlie dull and cloudy weatlicr of the la,st two months; roots will again begin to be stronger; this should be added just be- fore using. From now on for the remainder of the season liquid food should be given at least once a week. Choosing for this work a bright, sunny day, begin by giv- ing it rather weak, increasing its strength as the plants become accus- tomed to it. Coal being still a scarce commodity, there will be a strong temptation to use every means to economize on that item, and great care and good judgment will have to be exercised so that in prac- ticing this no injury may accrue to the stock. The night temperature can with safety be reduced as low as 46 degrees or 48 degrees, but of course at considerable sacrifice in the quantity of the cut (the quality of the bloom will if anything be improved), but no attempt should be made to husband the coal by trying to keep the houses at the normal by a rad- ical reduction, or entirely giving up of ventilation, as this at once begins to af- fect the general health of the plants, and reduces the prospects of a future crop to a minimum. The care of the cutting bench and the young stock in pots should now be one of the principal duties of the grower, as on these depend his weal or woe during the ne.xt season, when, let us Plant of Cypripediom losigne Grown at Florham Farms, Madison, N. J. Photo by A. Herrirgton. more active and a new crop of wood of a. stronger and more vigorous character ■can be looked for. In order to secure this we must make sure that the plants have plenty of good feeding material at hand, as the nutritive ek^ments in the soil will have become exhausted. A good rich mulch of about one inch thick will suppl.y those feeding roots which are now near tlie surface with the desired ■elements. To make it more easily assimilated it should be made fine by passing it through a Jinch screen, and a fair sprinkling of desiccated bone added: -three pounds to each bushel of compost IS not any too much at this season. Meteors .ami Beaulics cnn c- ■come a general practice, because it will be demanded by those who buy the cut- tings, Tliere was a time when a carna- tion was a carnation and all vaiieties were treated alike and those tliat did not like the treatment they received were discarded. The rose growers learn- ed long ago that to grow Meteor in the same temperature as they did Bride would bring them only off colored blooms or bullheads and that to grow Beauty in a Meteor temperature would bring only a lot of blind wood and black spot, etc. There is just as much difference in carnations as there is in roses and when a man sends out a variety that diil'ers from most varieties in some respect it is his duty to tell his customers of it so they will not have to lose money on the variety after having paid a good high price for the stock to begin with. Of course it sounds nice and no doubt helps the sale of a variety to be able to say that it is an easy doer and that it needs no special culture, etc. At the same time it is no more difficult to grow a va- riety that needs some change in treat- ment from the ordinary if you know what that change is. It is the lack of knowledge on this very point that causes most of the failures. Tliere would not need to be so many cases of giving a va- riety a second year's trial if we knew just what was required the first year. The fact that a variety needs a high or a low teui))erature, a heavy soil or a light one, or that it is a strong feeder or a veiy light one does not need to count as a fault against it. The up-to-date grower does not mind that in the least, but he does mind when he is told that a warm-blooded variety will succeed well in a medium temperature. Of course, we can find out all those things for our- selves and in most cases we have enough patience to find them out, even though we may lase money by it. The dis.seminator would not necessar- ily take upon himself any responsibility regarding the success of the variety and if he wished to do so he could state it on the slip of instructions. It stands to reason that after a man has grown a variety for three or four years he ought to know its peculiarities thorough- ly and if it requires any special treat- ment he ought to know it. at least we give him credit for knowing. He know^ whether the cuttinjfs should be made early in order to get a fair plant, whether it makes a soft quick growth and needs a heavy shade when housing, whether the blooms are good during warm weather or whether the blooming shoots should be kept picked off later than most varieties. Whether it wants ,T, heavy or light soil, whether it wants much feeding or none at all. If the calyx splits in a low temperature. If it needs close pinching to form a shapely plant. If it is a special favorite of red spider. Whether it does best inside all summer or if it needs early or late planting to do its best. All these things and many more should be stated. The statement might begin in this man- ner: In gi'owing this variety we have had the best success by following these instructions, but we cannot guarantee you success in case j'ou see fit to follow them. They are given merely to give you the benefit of our experience with this variety in so far as you may be able to apply them to your mode of cul- ture, etc. Any grower with conunon sense would know enough not to follow them blindly, but if the}' differed veiy much from his mode of culture and if he had fol- lowed his own way and there was no success he would know where the mis- take was made, and in many cases he would be more on his giuird and quicker to notice when a variety rebelled at unsatisfactory treatment. It would also show that the dissemina- tor took more interest in his variety than merely to get as much money out of it as he could. I have talked with many growers on this subject and I have never heard a reasonable objection raised against it. There is no reason why it should not be done and there is every rea- son why it should be done. A. F. J. Baub. RUST. I send some infected carnation leaves. Please tell me what the disease is and the remedy. Is it very hard to get rid of? Texas. The leaves are badly affected with car- nation rust. You can rid your plants of it by picking off the affected leaves and burning them. DiLst the plants with slaked lime, and water only at the roots for awhile, dispensing with syringing al- together unless you see signs of red spider. A. F. J. Batjb. SUMMER BLOOMERS. ^Vhich are the best varieties of carna- tions in white, light and dark pink for summer blooming in the field in a light sandy loam soil well enriched? What could be expected of, say, 5,000 plants 'propagated in November? Do these plants need support of any kind in the field. I. G. The best white variety for summer blooming, or. in fact, during warm \TOather, is Flora Hill, I know of no variety that will give as good returns during warm weather as it does, A friend told me recently that Queen Louise is also a good summer variety, but I have not tried it yet. Some grow- ers still hang onto old Mrs. Fisher and you might try it, too. In bright pink there is no variety that can come within hailing distance of E. Crocker for sum- mer blooms, especially in quality. We grow Elma for light pink and it gives us lots of fine large blooms, I do not 362 The Weekly Florists' Review, January 29, 1903. know of any other light pinli that blooms well in warm weather. I believe it is claimed that Fair Maid is an excep- tionally good summer variety, but I have not grown it. Five thousand plants should give you a good lot of blooms during July. August and September. Cuttings that were root- ed in November and grown right along ought to produce from 6 to 10 blooms per plant during these three months. Tliey will need no support except, per- haps, to protect them against heavy rain- storms, etc. Under ordinary conditions the stems will support the blooms un- aided. A. F. J. Baur. MISCELLANEOUS SEASONABLE HINTS. Lilies. I have had several inquiries of late on the all important question of the earli- ness of Japan lilies for Easter. Easter is not so very early this year — the 12th of April, without referring to the alma- nac. Some of the best growers of this Easter plant do not do much forcing be- fore New Year's, but after that they rush them right along. If your plants are five or six inches above the soil and you have the facilities to give them 60 degrees at night from now on, you will be all right. Look out for gi-een lly. There is nothing more evident to an ob- server than that the twisted, "busted" bud is caused by the aphis stinging the bud when it is in a very young state. It is well for every florist to have a pocket microscope. It is so easy to be skeptical over what injury these minute creatures can do to a plant, and too many wait until the injury is very visi- ble and fciko no precaution against the author of the injury. Any of you who have read Gulliver's travels will rememlx-r where jwor Gul- liver was hiding in the wheat field when a mower came along with his scythe and discovering Gulliver, lifted liim up for close inspection, and when Gulliver was opposite the giant's eyes he was seventy feet from the ground. Supposing he had been dropped to the ground as we may drop a toad, what would have been the consequence? He did not drop him; he put this full sized English sailor in his pocket and took him home when his day's work was done and presented Gul- liver to the Queen of the Court, who had a cage made and carried him around fastened to her waist belt, as an Italian carries white mice. I never visited that island and never want to see a prin- cess over five feet and nine inches, but the marvelous story is written ju.st to show you that all things are large or small only by comparison. A very mod- erate lens will show you flocks of aphis, red spider, thrips and other vege- tarians as ferocious and formidable in appearance as a flock of wild boars driven up for Kaiser William to slaugh- ter with his rifle. It is almost impossible to get to- bacco smoke down into the thick growth of leaves when the buds are forming, and therefore it is time and money well spent to go over them every two weeks and inject a little liquid tobacco prep- aration into the crown of leaves. You can make your own tobacco water, but the strength will be uncertain and it is very important that you should not overdo it in this operation. The "rose leaf extract" diluted 100 to 1 is strong enough. I am sorry to see among some lots of Japan longiflorum the appearance of disease of both kinds, and which I can- not name, but they seem distinct. One is the old trouble that destroyed so many of our Bermuda importations, and that may be called the jaundice or spotted fever, and the other is a wilt- ed and scalded look of the leaves. How did that disease get over to the Japs unless some of our American representa- tives took it over? We suppose that too premature lifting after flowering is the cause, as it was in Bermuda. Azaleas. Keep your eye on the azaleas that are for Easter. You can't treat them all alike. Mme. Van der Cruyssen . will want the coolest house you have above freezing, while Emperor of Brazil will come along on time in a night tempera- ture of 45 to 50 degrees. Tliese are perhaps the two extremes, but you can judge by the advance of the buds what temperature they will want. And don't let the young leaf growth make any headway, or you won't get any flowers. Rub them off as they start. Deutzias. You should allow about eight weeks in a night temperature of 50 degrees for Deutzia gracilis to come out in good style. It's better when not hurried in strong heat. Rhododendrons. Rhododendrons wliiili have perhaps been kept quite cool should now be put into a house at 50 to art degrees at night, and keep them syringed. Our importers now know just what varieties will force and you are not likely to get hold of any of the slow varieties. Some of the grandest varieties of rhododendrons are entirely unsuited for this purpose, and we have had them remain without a move for two months in a strong heat. Like the azaleas, these plants import- ed last fall have made little or no roots in the soil you gave them when potting, and while cool they would not suffer if slightly on the dry side, but when you begin to give them a warm house and the sun shines brightly the flowers are quickly ruined if the ball of roots is dry. In fact, if the water passes freely through the soil, you cannot very well overwater them. Our method of treat- ing these newly imported plants is very abnormal and you must use unusual methods very different from what you would if it was an established plant with a pot full of working roots. There are some Azalea mollis grown for Easter. They should be out in a cold frame now the same as any other hardy shrub, but seven or eight weeks should be given them in the house. They can be forced in shorter time, but are all the better to come along slowly. Lilium Lancifoliuffl. We are receiving now some bulbs of L. lancifolium album and roseum, and we think they are very useful for us in .July and August, and later if you can retard them. They fill in a gap in mid- summer. The two above mentioned are beautiful, and no one can object to the odor, but we draw the line at the gor- geous auratum, grand flower as it is in the border or in the conservatory. It can't be endured in a room, and a de- sign with these lilies in would be as good taste as a wedding bouquet sprinkled with the essence of Limburger cheese. We began a plan of treatment of these ly. lancifolium some years ago, which we have never had occasion to alter, and which is one of the few orig- inal gardening inspirations emanating from a bald head. Lily bulbs don't im- prove out of the ground or in dry soil or moss where no root growth can pro- ceed. So when received pot them in 5-inch, or three bulbs in an 8-inch. Let the soil be moist, or as you would use soil for any plant when potting or shift- ing. Don't water them : the moisture in the soil is enough, and place the pots lieneath a bench in a cool house. I like to cover the surface of soil with i-inch or so of sphagnum moss. They will remain like this for two months without making much grc\vth, and you don't want them to make much. When the growth is up to two or three inches you must get them on the bench, for then they want the light, the season Ijeing then well advanced. Nothing but the coolest hous& is ever needed. In fact, the slower you can grow them the bet- ter they will be, and if you can have them in flower in September they will be worth more to you than in .July. Brides' Bouquets. I read with pleasure the well written article on wedding bouquets by Mr. Wienhoeber, and the illustrations were in keeping with the article — fine. Such illustrations as that are a real help to all of us. May we have lots of the kind from the same talented young man, for they are up to date, which really means that they are in advance of the date of most of us. I would just mention — not in the way of criticism, goodness knows — but as a comment on Mr. Wienhoeber's article, that he assumes that a bride leaves to the florist the style of bouquet which she is going to carry. Not on your life! The tall stately brunette or the little flaxen fluffy has each made up her mind months before what the flower is going to be and has intimated the same to Alphonse, who will have that and only that. And if they, he or she, are open to suggestions and will take advice on such a momentous question they should receive the thanks of every florist as a woman or man of surpassing judgment and the florist's friend. The advice from Mr. Wienhoeber on originality, and to break away from being merely copy books, is fine. Let's have more of it, and often. William Scott. January 29. 1003.

J;in- uaryS, 1903.J Being an amateur in the steam heat- ing business I can only give you views from a very limited experience. What experience I have had, however, leads me to believe that, very small establish- ments excepted, steam is the ideal meth- od of greenhouse heating. But in being given the subject of "steam heating," I suppose I am not expected to argue the advantages of the different methods of lieating, but merely to tell what I know alxiut steam. Tlie boiler, of course, is the heart of the system and should liave our first at- tention. My advice to anyone going into the marli;et for a boiler woiild be to get a brick set, return draft, tubular; first, because there is more surface exposed to the fire than in any other ; second, be- cause less heat is lost from outside ex- posure and through the chimney than in any other; third, because of reasons first and second it is more economical in fuel : and fourth, it is easily re- paired and repairs can be made in less time than on any other kind of boiler. As an example, take our place. We have two brick set and one locomotive, or fire box boiler. We can bank the fire in the brick set boilers and they viiW run up to 40 or 50 pounds merely from the heat that is in the bricks and will make enough steam all day to heat our office and machine shop, besides running the steam pump to return the water. This is done on clear days, when we have no heat in the greenhouses. But althougii we have bricked our fire box boiler in the same as a brick set, just as soon as we bank the fire the steam drops. The bricks around the boiler only keep in the heat that is given off from the outside of the boiler, while in the other boilers they absorb the heat direct from the fire and act on the order of the storage battery. In regard to flues, we think a happy medium is struck in the 4-inch. A small- er flue chokes up too quickly and a larger one, unless you have a very large boiler, does not give the surface, besides being harder to clean. The cost of flues larger than 4-inch, should one or more give out, makes quite an item on the re- pair bill, and consequently increases the expense account. Boilers should also be cleaned out thoroughly at least every 30 days. Some clean them as often as every 7 or 8 days, but this is a question of the water tliat is used, and what kind of work the boiler is subjected to. Our water is very clear and free from lime, and we find that after using our boilers all winter there is scarcely any scale on the tubes. Tliose of you who use city water in vour boilers will probably fijid them lial'f full of mud in 30 days. Others may have clear water, but it may con- tain lime, alkali or other substances that will scale tlie tubes very quickly. ]!ut even if the water contains neither iiuid nor lime the boiler should be cleaned at regular intervals, as scale and dirt from the pipes will find its way eventually to the boiler. If enough of this is allowed, to collect you will find a hole burned in the shell some morning when the thermometer stands at about 5 below zero. I might add that we had an experience of this kind. To conclude the boiler subject, I would say, give it plenty of grate surface, a good draught and set it at least two feet below the level of lowest return pipe, wlicn possible. Wlien this is not possi- ble the water will have to be returned by a trap or steam pump. Or if it is only one or two pipes that are low the water can be run off and the higher pipes returned by gravity. I would not advise, liowever, running the water off. as it is a very expensive economy. For every drop of hot water that is lost an equal amount of cold water must be put in the boiler, and, of course, the more cold water the more coal. After the boiler come the pipmg and method of arranging same. The three systems in use are as follows: First, pipes running clear around the house, flow on one side and return on the other. Second, mains at opposite ends ot house, and house heated by flows under the benches. Tliird. mains at same end of house and heated by overhead flow, with re- turns under benches. While we have houses heated by all of the above arrangements of piping, we prefer the latter. We believe there should be at least one overhead pipe to take the chill off of any cold drafts that may come in through the venti- lators or broken and imperfect fitting Of course it is not necessary to go into details, such as leaving plenty of room for expansion, air cocks at ends of returns, etc., but it never does any harm to remind ourselves of details, as an in- stance of our own experience will show. Last year, when we put in a gasoline engine and pumping outfit, we knew that the building would have to be heat- ed in cold weather to keep the engine from freezing, but were busy with build- ing all summer and fall and neglected the heat for our shop until finally a cold snap came along. 'Wliile it didn't freeze the engine jacket, the water pipes froze and burst and caused us more trouble generally than I will worry you with. The result was, of course, that we made up our minds that, just as soon as the weather moderated we would drop everything else until the shop was heat- ed. N'ow, we knew perfectly well that a 2-inch pipe would expand several inches in 400 or 500 feet, but we were in such a rush to get those pipes in that a small matter like contraction and expansion never entered our heads. We put the flow and return pipes together and cov- ered them with sewer pipe about 2J feet underground and proceeded to forget all our troubles. Tliis was about the middle of January, and everything worked smoothly the balance of the win- ter, but when we fired up this year the fireman couldn't keep water in the boil- ers and our troubles began again. We advanced theory after theory and cause after cause, only to find them all wrong, and to say we were puzzled does not express it. After a few days of this we noticed some boiling springs or geysers appearing along the hillside, and we began to think of going out of the florist business and starting a hot springs health resort. Tlien the thought of our steam pipe running along in the same place occurred to us and the mys- tery was solved. In taking care of expansion I would advise the use of the simple swing joint made by using three or four extra ells and nipples. Tliis can be made to take care of any amount of expansion and will work iinder all conditions. By all means avoid the so-called expansion joint. We have one in our 6-inch main and the only thing it has expanded is our troubles, and it has done that so thoroughly that we will never need an- other one. Tliey work all right as long as everj-thing is exactly in line, but 364 TheWeekly Florists' Review. jAxtAKv ;;'.}, 1003. as soon as the pipe sags the smallest fraction they will bind and cause no end of trouble and worry. As to the amount of piping necessary, it is a question of what is to be grown, climate, exposure, temperature to be maintained, etc. For growing carnations in this climate we find that from 135 to 140 feet of radiating surface to 1,000 feet of exposure is about the right amount to maintain a night temperature of from 52 to 58 in coldest weather. We use l^-inch pipe for all of our heating coils, reducing to |-inch where pipe enters main return for economy in valves. We do not use the single pipe system at all, believing the two pipe to be more satisfactory under all con- ditions. In using the single pipe sys- tem I think 100 feet is the limit for li-inch pipe and 150 feet for 11-inch. Although about this I am not sure and would refer anyone contemplating the use of this system to some one who has it in operation, or to one who is more of an authority on steam heating than I am. In returning the water to the boiler the srravity system, where possible, is, of course, the cheapest and most sim- ple. Where this is not possible water will have to be returned either by a .steam trap or pump anout the size of hazel nuts or pecans. It is more expensive than the nut and slack, but we think we can get through the season with a car or two less than of the cheaper coal and save a few dollars in tlie end, and that is what we are all after. HOLLYHOCKS. We send witli tliis a liollyhock plant. The seed was planted about August 1. We wish to know if the plant-s are large enough to flower, or make any kind of show the coming season. Would it be safe to sell them for good flowering plants this spring? W. & N. Tlie plant received has all the soil washed from its roots. As it comes from New Jersey, it may have been lifted from a cold frame. In our cli- mate to be in its present condition, it would need be in a 3-inch pot in a cool house. It is a fine, strong plant, healthy in every way. If they are in a cold frame, planted out, you must, of course, leave them there until spring opens, but if they are in a cool house, in pots, you cannot do any hotter with them than give them a shift at the end of February, but still keep them in the coolest, lightest house. I cannot answer the questions given me better than to say, that you do not want any better plants for next sum- mer's flowering, than the sample sent. The best hollyhock flowers and plants I ever saw were treated as follows: The seed was sowm at tlie end of August, the plants kept in a cold frame until the end of November. Then they were kept in a cool house during winter. In April they were in 4-inch pots; end of April were planted out in a stiff clay, with plenty of manure. By end of July the central spike was 7 feet high, and the lateral growths made a plant 5 feet across. They were grand in every way. We have not been able to duplicate this performance of late years, not because the method was not followed, but dis- ease has attacked the young plants in the winter. I would advise you to dust these plants with Fostite or syringe them with some copper solution. You can prevent the fungus, but if it once gets started on the plants it is difficult to subdue. Your plants are all right. William Scott. EXPRESS RATES. As a literary production the resolu- tions that were printed in our Boston notes last week are entitled to com- mendation, but as far as any practical result is concerned they niiglit as well have been thrown into Boston harbor as soon as adopted. There is just one argument that will appeal forcibly to the trafhc managers of the express companies and that is that the inereaseil rate will so curtail ship- ments as to reduce their revenue from the tralhe, or that it will prevent its ex- pansion. The JIadison and Chatham rose growers who established a wagon express of their own to New York City, took the most effective step possible. And if a strong committee could pre- sent the matter to the next meeting of the Express TrafTic Managers' Associa- tion we feel sure there would follow a reversion to the old rate. All will remember that at one time the rate on plants was doubled. In looking into this matter at the time the writer of this, while in conversation with the traflic manager of one of the companies, learned that the increase came almut in this way: One of the traffie managers happened to visit one of the New York stations when the men were loading an immense rublier tree that a certain well- known florist was shipping up the Hud- son. Tlie tree had no packing whatever — simply a tag attached to the stem. To get it into tne ear it had to be laid down, and it took up half the car. He asked : "What rate do you cet for carry- ing that?" And when told single mer- chandise rate he raved and said it was worth seven times single rate. At the next meeting he proposed the increased rate on plants, and the matter not being carefully considered the increase was made. Tlie chances are that the cut flower rate was increased in some such way. The traffic manager of some company that had had numerous claims on ac- count of freezing and delay, or had noted some huge box of light weight for its bulk, probably introducett a resolu- tion that resulted in the increase. Traffic managers are human and they make mistakes. They are sensible busi- ness men and are amenable to reason. See that the facts — the actual facts — reach the understanding of these men and the mistake will be corrected. Tliat the increased rate will lessen the number of shipments is a foregone con- clusion. How much will it lessen them?- All know how the shipments have in- creased and multiplied under the old rate. How seriously will this growth be checked by iiie increase? These are the matters that interest the traffic mana- gers. And aside from these questions that of being reasonable and just has a bearing. Reach the right men and pre- sent the ca.se in a proper light. Don't stand off at a distance and call names. THE "S. A. F. PAEONY ASS'N." Following we print a communication that is self-explanatory : THE S. A. F. PAEONY ASSOCIATION. Some mild criticism of the S. A. F. Paeony Association has recenti.v been indulged in. Noth- ing vital has been eTolved and it is hardly worth noticing except that some might think that, saying nothing, there was nothing to say. For the information of the public, therefore, the- following points are resi>ectfully submitted: 1. The Paeony C<)mmittee appointed by Presi- dent Burton bad ixnvor to add to its numbers. A committee having that right of associating with itself other members of the parent body became "an association." It is only anotlier name for that itlnd of a committee, but it pub- lishes better the breadth and depth of the com- mittee's work than the title of committee q3 usually understood. 2. Any member of the S. A. F. may ask a friend to join the S. A. F. Because one is a member of the Paeony Association does not de- prive blm of that right. If a candidate for membership in the S. A. F. happened to be a paeony enthusiast, the Paeony Association would naturally want him in their ranks, and they would have a iwrfect right to ask him. and it would ntit c^tst him anything additional. Why should it? If he pays ?5 the $o goes into the treasury of the S. A. F. The Paeony Associa- tion does as any other committee does as to- finances — it draws on the parent lK)dy. X The advantage of having the paeony Inter- ests under the wing and the control of the S. A. F. is. briefly, that it avoids the policy of a practlcall.v self-constituted dictatorship in that section of the society's field of work. The IKtwers given to the committee to gather to it- self those especially interested within the S. A. F. are ample and subject only to the proper control of the executive officers of the S. A. F. They can also gather those outside the S. A. F. by the simple process of having thera become members of the S. A. F. While that helps the paeony Interests, it also helps to build up and broaden the S. A. F., and it is a practical solu- tion of that vexed problem, "closer relations," which has been troubling the society for the past ten years. 4. The work of revising the nomenclature of the papon.v will be a most difficult one and will take .vears to accomplish. That fact was early realized, as was the fact that to do it properly facilities for growing and comparing the dif- ferent varieties (there tore perhaps l.tioo named' varieties of the herbaceous secthin alone now lu commerce) would have to be provided. An ama- teur paeony enthusiast offered to do this, hut his place was a little difficult of access to vis- itors. 'U'hile the committee was holding the matter under consideration a gratifying solution was presented to them by the Commi-ssloners of Fairmount Park through Oglesby Paul, the landscape gardener of the park. It is now ar- ranged to have the collection in the park under the care of Mr. Paul. Each contributor's dona- tion will be carefully labeled and kept separate, and all the benefits accruing from a permanent exhibition will thus be secured to the donors at a central point easy of access. This arrange- ment relieves the society of all expense In caring for the plants, and removes all suspicion of self-interest from the members of the asso- ciation. Field notes can be secured readily and frequently by the officers and by anyone inter- ested. Further particulars as to this and to the matter of an exhibition will be given out later as things develop. 5. In conclusion, those who are working for the S. A. F. and the paeony at present are do- ing so at a sacrifice of their time and means for the benefit of all, and they will gladly wel- come assistance from any source whatever. They feel neither prejudice nor malice towards any- one, and they also feel that they have some right to be treated with similar consideration. Let everyone with the welfare of the S. A. F. at heart turn in and do something. There Is plenty of work for all and no time for fault- finding. Life is short and there's a great deal to be done. GEORGE C. WATSON. Sec'y S. A. F. Paeony Association. This explanation reads well and there might be no serious objection to the turn given the matter were it not an evident effort to head off the gentlemen who had already begun the formation of a national peony societv. The com- mittee having been charged with exceed- ing its powers, it will bo well to refer to- the wording of the motion through- Janlakv 29, l'J03. The Weekly Florists' Review. 365 which tlie committee came into being. According to the official record this mo- tion was made by Mr. P. O'Mara and reads as follows: "I therefore move that tlie president of tbis society be reiday, and about which the Metropolitan press still raves. Tlie ta- bles were 18x0 feet with inner tables lowered — 12x3 feet — on which growing orchids were J>anked ^vith adiantuni. Tlie end table was in horseshoe form of similar dimensions and construction. At the end of each table rcse grand speci- mens of Dicksonia antarctica ferns with a spread of 6 feet and 8 feet above the surface; and from each one was sus- pended a hundred handsome orchids in glass tubes. The tables were connected with low banks of orchids and Farley- ense. Some idea of its beauty may be gathered from the fact thiat nearly 2.000 orchid blooms were used in the work and the choicest stock of John Young and Julius Roehrs was drawn upon. In the great conservatory the- roof and sides were covered with asparagus interspersed with cut orchids in tubes. Banks of Dicksonias and kentias were numerous. Tlie reception room was turned into a spring prophecy by an abundance of double flowering almond, Japan quince and spiraea prunifolia from the forcing houses of Chas. Bird, of Arlington. The mantels were of for- sythia while the gold room reveled in American Beauties. Competent judges claimed it to be the most unique deco- ration ever seen in this city and its con- summation reflects great credit on Alex. McConnell, of 45th street and Fifth av- enue, under whose supervision the whole charming effect was accomplished. J. Austin Shaw. 366 The Weekly Florists' Review* January 29, 1903. PHILADELPHIA. Tiie Market. Business brisk. More flowers are needed. Beauties are extremely scarce. Tea roses are a little more plentiful than a week ago, but there are not enough good ones to go around.

It is often said that a small party is often pleasanter than a large one. This depends a good deal on circumstances and may or may not be generally true. At any rate, it was a small party and a very pleasant one that went out over the P. & R. one day last week to Doyles- town. There were Treasurer Palmer and Manager Meehan, of the flower mar- ket, and Phil. They passed Graham's place on one side at Logan, and Thomas Foulds on the other at Gwynedd, and then made a most wonderful connection at Lansdale, stepped across the platform into anotlicr train and off' over some fine countr}', past the Farm School to Doylestown, after a run of something over an hour. Dinner followed, when the party was joined by Jlr. Collins, who is associated with Mr. Palmer, and on the appearance of a horse and carriage started for .John F. Andre's.

C, I would suggest adding one line of IJ-ineh pipes on the outer side of the No. 1 house and in- crease the overhead pipe to 2* -inch in No. 2 house, adding one line of 2-inch pipes on each side, in No. 3 house add- ing one line of 2-inch pipe on each side and one additional overhead pipe either of 2A-inch or 3-ineh diameter. These condi'tions are based on his requiring a temperature of 55 to GO degrees on coldest nights. The boiler rated for 2,100 feet of radiation should have am- ple capacity to heat the three houses in question. Henry W. Gibbons. New York. i78 The Weekly Florists^ Review* January 29, 1903.

BALTIMORE. Trade Conditions. We have had for the week ending to- day (Jan. 20) all sorts and conditions of "weather from Maylike mornings to aenii-blizzard nights, with a resultant shortness of cut flowers which affects se- riously nearly everyone in. the trade. Roses of the' better class, and notably white ones, are extremely scarce, and the same holds true of white carnations. Vio- lets continue in very short supply, and about the only things fully up to the demand are pink carnations and freesia.s. The week was an active one all around. Balls, receptions, dinners and the. ever- present funeral calls, kept the stores generally on the move for material, this in many cases not being at all satisfac- toi-y to buyers. Even callas and greens are short; with bright sunshine, in a week or two — but that will be another story ! Various Notes. Since vour Baltimore notes of a week or so ago went astray in Uncle Sam's mail-bags it will not be amiss to go back far enough to speak of the annual meeting of the Florists' Exchange of this city, which was held on the l'2th. The year is the only full one completed in the present quarters and showed a grati- fying increase of business, entirely jus- tifying the removal from its former con- tracted and inconvenient site. The old managers were re-elected and Isaac H. Moss, of Govaustown, continues president of the corporation, and Alexander Scott, its painstaking and efficient manager. The main question agitating the direc- tion is how to secure, not only ample but regular shipments of cut stuff. Tlie busi- ness done is always restricted by the utter inability to accept orders in the ab- sence of any certainty as to what grow- ers may send in. The stockholders ordered the board of managers to give hearty and active sup- port to the movements to secure the re- scinding of the recent advance in the ex- press companies' shipping charges. It was suggested that, bad as is this new tariff, it is not half as bad as the serv- ice. A feature which bears with addition- al hardship upon the smaller shippers is that, whilst the nominal advance is 50 per cent, there is some juggling by which single boxes, such as many moder- ate establishments ship daily, really pay about 100 per cent over former rates. The Gardeners' club took action on the same line with the Exchange. The fuel question is still uppermost in the minds of many growers, for, al- though the supply is growing more abun- dant there are all kinds of uncertainties and disappointments in the delivery ot cars, due to the congestion of the rail- ways. Prices are declining, but this is due in part to the milder weather of the past few days and the dealers are lia- Ijle to put on the thumbscrews at the slightest provocation suggested by a de- clining thennometer. Your correspond- ent has two cars somewhere between the mines and his boiler pit, hut this morn- ing saw the last barrow of that absolutely in hand go up in smoke through the stack. Mr. B. F. Dorrance, of Dorrancetown, Pa., was a recent visitor to our city, and spent some hours at Mr. John Cook's establishment. The venerable John Dick, one of the old-time Philadelphia florists, whose death wa.s recently announced, was the grandfather on the maternal .side, of Robert, Jr., and John Dick Halliday, composing the well-knowTi firm of Halli- day Bros, of this city, and was personally known to and esteemed by all our older gardenei's. B. QUAKERTOWN, Pa. — The coal supply here was in very bad condition up to about two weeks ago. Soft coal could be had in small- quantities at $8 per 2.000 pounds, and about half the time the yards were entirely cleaned up. E. I. Rawlings. who has the largest concern in this locality, reports that he has been burning nothing but green cordwood for the last ten days and says it was all they could do to keep from freezing out, but received glad news this morning that a car of coal had been shipped him. Wilmington, Del. — Tlie city has sold .$.30,000 worth of bonds, the amount to \)e expended in acquiring new parks. PLEASE MENTION THE REVIEW WHEN WRITING ANY OF THESE ADVERTISERS. 384 The Weekly Florists^ Review. Janlary 29, 1903. PITTSBURG. The Market. Since last week's report the market has shown some improvement. The scarcity of roses still exists, but not as noticeable as the week previous. The outlook for a large supply in the near future is very encouraging. In carnations there is a sufficient supply, and they are selling better than for some time, with prices ruling a little higher. Bulbous stock is on the increase, ex- cepting paper white narcisstus, which have been so very plentiful all season, are now scarce and find ready sale. This can also be said of Roman hyacinths. The supply of Harrisii lilies is' regular. Yellow narcissus are not plentiful. E. G. Asmus and Francois Supoit are shipping quantities of very fine white lilacs to the Cut Flower Co., which sell as w^ell as any stock being received. Mignonette, sweet peas, vallev and violets are plentiful and meet with a steady demand. The writer saw some very good blooms of the new yellow rose. Franz Deegen. at the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co.'s es- tablishment. Heller Bros., of New Cas- tle. Ind., are consigning them. An important matter to be discussed at the meeting of the Florists' Club, next Tuesday evening, February 3, will be "Express Eates on Cut Flowers." Bridal Muff. Randolph & MoClenicnts decorated the First Presbyterian church for a very fashionable wedding last week. The decorations were beautiful and elabor- ate. In lieu of the usual bouquet of flowers, the bride carried white violets and gardenias in the form of a muff, with pendant strands of ribl>on, garland- ed with white violets. The maids car- ried mulTs of Liberty roses. These mutTs made quite a hit. . Various Items. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Laueh, parents of \Vm. Lauch, the florist, of Carrick, Pa., celebrated their golden wedding an- niversary last Sunda.v. The celebration was of an informal nature. B. L.

The twelfth annual meeting of the American Carnation Society will be held at Brooklyn, X. Y., Tliursday and Fri- day, Feb. 19th and 20th. It will un- doubtedly be the most important meeting ■ever held by the society and the exhibi- tion of new and standard varieties of carnations will unquestionably exceed any ever held before anywhere. The meetings will be held in the Ger- mania Club House, 122 Schermerliorn street, and the exhibition in the Art Gallery and Association Hall, 174 ilon- tague street, which is only a short dis- tance from the Germania Club. Intend- ing exhibitors should obtain a copy of the premium list, which has been is- sued, and may secure same by addressing the secretary, Albert M. Herr. Lancas- ter, Pa. The president, Mr. C. W. Ward, Queens, K Y., is sparing no effort to make the Brooklyn convention a record breaker in every way and success in this laudable endeavor is already assured. The society lias now been iucorpoiated and the formulating of a constitution and by-laws in accordance witli changed conditions will have to be taken up at the c'oming convention. As this will take up some little time no regular program of papers has been prepared and the time available will be devoted to informal discussion of matters pertain- ing to the carnation and to tlie question box. The social features at the convention have received unusual attention. In ad- dition to strong committees ajipointed by the Brooklyn Horticultural Society, the host of the occasion, the Brooklyn In- stitute of Arts and Sciences, has ap- pointed a reception committee of thirty- iive memlwrs, with Hon. Richard Young as chairman, and forty ladies from the same organization, with ;Mrs. .John K. Creevey as chairman, will act as host- esses at the reception to the Carnation Society. In the premium list the leading classes for standard varieties are divided into these colors: white, light pink, dark pink, scarlet, crimson, yellow variesated. white variegated, and" any other color. In each of these colors prizes of $12 and $6 are offered for vases of 100 blooms; prizes of $6 and $3 for va.ses of flO blooms: and prizes of $3 and $1.50 for vases of 25 blooms. Then there are "en- eral collections and a host of special prizes in addition to certificates for de- serving seedlings.

RUTHERFORD, N. J. dNCINNATL There is an active demand for all giades snd kinds of flowers : but aside from numerous large funeral orders it is not anything more than usual. The funeral of Phillip Deitsch, our deceased chief of police, caused a very great de- mand for funeral designs artd bunches. Tlicre were over one hundred designs and bunches, besides a great many loose flowers. I judge they reached something over $1,000 in value. Tlie work was vei-y evenly distributed among all the stores. Roses and carnations are so scarce at present that there is very little to be said of them, other than that there is a great improvement in quality, especially in roses. Maids have much letter color, and Meteors are greatly improved. Car- nations, in some instances, are inclined to be a trifle soft and go to sleep easily. Luckily, though, there are but few af- fected. Bulbous goods are decidedly scarce. Romans and narcissus are having a good sale, and many more could be used. There is some good valley to be had, and it sells readily. Harrisii and callas go nicely and at high prices. Violets, which so far this season have been so scarce, are now beginning to come from many quarters. This caused a drop in the price, but they are sell- ing out nicely. Ernest Hiehle, formerly with McGreg- or Bros. Co., of Springfield, O., is about to open a retail (lower department in the store of the Columbus Dry Goods Co., Columbus, O. He was in this city during the past week making arrange- ments for stock, etc. F. W. Ball has just returned from a trip to St. Louis. H. H. Ritter, of Dayton. 0., and Er- nest Hiehle, of Columbus.
